I'm not sure how else to write this but:
What's meant to happen, will happen!
Bev...you've done what you can because you care so much about these falcons!
Have a big glass of red wine or as you wrote, an irish coffee ;)

That is exactly what I am going to do  Liz.  I am going to relax and  clean house :)

I know you are not putting the success of the nest on my shoulders.  I was putting in myself and I am not anymore.  

what will be , will be.  QUE SERA SERA

I am really going to have an Irish coffee ;) ;)

At least there isn't any raven there for the night.  Probably means no egg in the nest?

bev, we're not putting the Peregrine success of this nest on your shoulders.  Please stop stressing so much.  All will work out as it should.  Just sit back and breathe.... :)

i have been watching and taking pictures.  Yes, this one went up in half the time.  I do  not think they really thought they would come back but I hope someone is watching. I made one aware but I do not want to be a pest.

It is out of my hands, and in their hands now.

... and there I was clapping my hands, saying SHOO.SHOO. and then I started clapping my hands at the one on the clinical science roof adjacent to nest box.
  Right on, bev -- you go, girl!   :D  :D

I just went to the Alberta Cam and realized that this nest is almost complete.  They worked on this one double time. 
I really hope someone is keeping an eye on this so they don't wait too long to dismantle it??

well, I am back. I guess I was too long and my husband started watching one I do not like.

I am going now to post a poem I wrote on my way back from my trip last weekend before I realized how serious this drama was.

I am not sure where to post it here but It will be somewhere in bit and Bites i think

Let's all just hope that all will work out and that someone will dismantle this nest, yet again!
I'm glad that this biologist isn't upset with you anymore.....kinda can't be.  You're simply trying to help protect an endangered raptor.  I think this person or person (s) needs to research the peregrine falcon.
I'm praying over here with hope it helps!
Just wait a little bit longer there falcons!

There is a site for the Ravens that i have handpicked if they want me to show them ;D ;D

the magpies and other birds are not too happy they are there either. Well they do not bother the pigeons, so I guess the pigeons are cheering them on.  but the magpies and songbirds are not.

I have a bazooka water gun and a big hose for my area here ;D ;D

do ya think the security will set me up with a water source ;D ;D

I am puzzled why the nest has not been dismantled again, but as I said it is the weekend.  the white thing was there yesterday.

And , get this, I do feel for the Raven. :o :o

but I love my falcons.  GEEEZ!!!!!

I just wanted a nice calm year.

I do have a note into my biologist friend to see if the dismantling was a one time deal or what???

the biologist who was not happy with me for my attitude toward the Raven, e-mailed me back and now everything is O.K.
