Don't take this as gospel, but from their behaviour today (I was visiting with them for hours today), they seem to like the B&B nestbox alot.  Or at least today they did.  Yesterday they were having a hissy fit over at the Bleachers and I thought they were going to consider nesting there!!  I'll have to see where they hang out tomorrow ... but I do think that they should start egg-laying this week.  I checked the B&B box today and nothing there yet.

I know, not the yes or no you were looking for, but enough to keep you all guessing!

Okay now, I'm trying to get this straight... are there 2 nestboxes in West Winnipeg?  :-\ One called the "nestbox" at the so-called Bed & Breakfast and another called the "new condo" at the so-called Diner? I was under the impression that the peregrines in West Winnipeg did not yet have a "nestbox" and the "new condo" that TPC installed last weekend was the first "nestbox", or rather a new upgraded one. Why is there a need for 2 nestboxes out there? Is it more likely that they will mate and produce young 'uns with an additional nestbox to choose from? ??? Just wondering. 

There are two nestboxes in West Winnipeg.  The first box was installed in 2008 and replaced a box that was installed twenty years ago.  It was visited by Ivy & Jules in 2008 and in 2009 but they didn't use it.  The second nestbox is the condo, its on a different building.  It was installed this year and it is of a different design, more along the lines of some of the boxes used elsewhere - sort of like Elk River or U of A but tweaked for the specific location.

New boy and Jules have been hanging out alot at the Bed & Breakfast over the last couple of days and they have put a very deep scrape in the nestbox that is there.  No egg(s) yet, so could still choose the Diner's condo...

Many items of great news! 
Jules and gentleman are back. 
Scrape in a nest box. 
Partial ID of the gentleman. 
Might he be another downtown site progeny returned?

We don't have an ID yet, but we do know that his band has a sideways 8 on it.  We'll get it yet ... maybe soon since they seem to be back from their wandering and he might sit still long enough for us to get a good look at him!  But he is a very pretty bird, nice dark full black cap - more even than Ivy's.

We are hoping they use one of the nestboxes too, but won't know 'til we get that first egg ....  as for the gentleman caller, there are a few of us comparing photos to see what we can see, I'm going to start carrying my scope with me just in case too !!!

And y'all will know pretty much as soon as we do ...
