If you build it, they will come ...

Jules had a gentleman (based on size) caller last night and he was still around this morning.  And no, it is most definitely not Ivy!!  She's still stuck on the old nestsite, but I'm not sure how keen he is, he didn't seem to want to visit there.  Smart bird.  They were back on the Diner talking, so looks like courting at the least.  They took a fly around the whole area, then headed south and didn't come back ... I left after 1.5-2.0 hours ...

Tracy, how do you figure out where to put the nest boxes so a falcon will find them?  Do you select spots that they appear to frequent? ??? 


Here's a photo of the new condo that we hope Jules will approve of ...



We also hope to be able to publish the location if she moves or at least expresses some real interest in the new location ...

Beautiful peregrine condo. Our birds are so lucky to have their health and welfare in such capable hands.

Tracey, is it too late for Jules to find a mate this year?

It is very beautiful, indeed! 
How could Jules resist it when compared to that stark concrete surface of last year?

Love the new nestbox Tracy....it's just fabulous for our Jules! 
Now that she has a brand new condo, she needs that mate to court her over that threshold.

having her very own brand new condo would be a good selling feature to lure in a new man!

She is probably out scouting for a male to bring home.

Me too, that's the only sad part - that Jules is alone.  :-\...Though we're probably more bothered about it than she is!  ::)
