May he went to find a hardhat.  ???

That'd be my first move.

Honest folks, I did see someone (and I don't think that I am hallucinating).  Perhaps Bev would be able to recognize him from this inadequate description, longish brown hair, possible mustache, black sunglasses, blue shirt.  Maybe he was just checking to see if there is an egg.  And yes, both ravens arrived shortly after that.  May he went to find a hardhat.  ???

RAVEN in the nest.  When is that nest removal going to happen?  I didn't see any egg this morning.  The raven in the Nest box looks to be nonstop vocalizing, maybe sounding a warning to those who would disturb?

That is the white structure I am talking about.  It has never been there before. Friday was the first day. I think they  left it here to make things easier becasue they usually use a ladder.( i believe it was maintenance workers on it on Friday. I recognized one as such.

I am out for a good part of the day but I will , if the falcons are there, let you know all their spots.

Bev, the white structure next to the nestbox that you mentioned, I saw a white structure that looked like a platform with rails for the biologists to stand on - I don't recall anything else.  Also, I found it easy to look at the ravens and the nestbox from the ground as there are a number of barricades around, which reduce traffic and people.  This was good, as it prevented me from running into people and cars.  Certainly your viewpoint from the parkade would be better, though, and I must remember that for next time.  I would be happy to find out from you the best spots for watching the falcons.

There is a silver lining here folks, just think if the peregrines don't return to this site this  year, you might get to watch the ravens raise their young online ... their chicks really are just as ugly/cute as the peregrines  :D
