Current News - April 7th, 2009 - Those ravens are fast! As many viewers noticed, as soon as University workers removed the nest on Friday, the ravens started rebuilding it again! In continued preparation for the peregrines return from Colombia, Gord Court and company removed the nest today once again.
April 3rd, 2009 - A few days ago we noticed that a couple of ravens had begun to make a nest within our peregrine box! Thank you to the viewers who brought this to our attention. After speaking with our esteemed biologist Gordon Court, it was decided that the nest could be removed to discourage the ravens from settling down. The ravens pose little to no threat to the peregrines, as the nest will almost certainly be reclaimed by peregrines upon their return. So please, do not be worried! Friday April 3rd some University staff removed the twigs, getting rid of the ravens nest entirely. Hopefully they do not rebuild as the peregrine falcons should be back anytime now!

Perhaps an alarm system wired right to the police station. Or to the biologists, at least! lol
carly:
Well the problem is there really is no hint cept for the pesky humans and really, who pays attention to those creatures with the bad hair :P. Had there been falcons there, they'd have flown right on by but instead they see a vacant house, with a balcony, nice view...can't say I blame them.
Perhaps next year, the 'owners' might consider some *ahem* doors to the place.

I don't think they're gonna 'Move Over' at all - sure wish they had, but the way it looks - no way. :( - It's a no-win situation, we just have to hope for the best - somehow! :-\
Liz:
I wish they'd get the hint! I'm glad to see there's no egg there. I would really have a problem then. I have no doubt about who I want to watch there this summer, but I don't want a battle either. Move on over, George and Weezie!
