1607 hrs (Winnipeg) - she's still on the JR sign, can't find him.  'Tis that time of the day however when pigeons die ...  ;D

1612 hrs (Winnipeg) - never fails, little "charmer" appears just as I've posted I can't find him.  A little lovin' and he is back to watching his lady love from the east side nest ledge.  She's got more sense and is sitting in the sun.


Just as a note, using the JR sign serves a dual purpose - its a great spot for copulating but also it advertises to any peregrines in the area that this territory is taken and that the resident pair are well aware of anything going on in their space.

Tomorrow is a full moon, hopefully it will encourage more peregrine love.

1300 hrs (Winnipeg) - Trey is on the nestledge vent watching Princess who is sitting on the J of the JR sign.  They were absent this morning from my sightline on the ground for at least an hour, if not a bit more.  Hunting up something interesting or they went on a picnic tryst ... he's such a romantic  ;)

The photos were great.  Thanks Pam.  So good to see Hurricane in Grand Forks.  Still think about Chinook and Mistrl (Missy) and wonder about them.  But I guess no news is good news.

Seems to me they spent more time on the ledge last year than we've seen so far this - take it as a good sign!

Well... in all honestly, these two can do the hanky-panky on the nestledge all they want...just no scraping or laying of any eggs.  That's all meant to be done in the nestbox.

AHEM.................."NEST ON THE WEST"
