Does this mean there are some photos to see right now, while we wait, or do we have to wait for the photos, too?

'Fraid you have to wait for me to pull the photos off my camera and to find the ones I like from Dennis' bunch (yes, he is a co-conspirator).  Even worse, we have some video too (blame Larry) but I have to learn how to convert it first (thanks Grelber for helping me with this!)

If nothing else, we Phanatics have learned that we must have patience for SO many things!!! - Nesting, Hatching, Feeding, Flying, Cam repairs, News updates... ::) - Sounds like this story is going to be a good one! At least we only have to wait til tonight!  ;D 

Story is too long for me to tell it all tonight, will post it in day-by-day chunks - have the first couple of days revised/edited for coherence already ...

Princess (I've changed my mind, and do not think it was Trey.....) sat across from me on a ledge for a few hours this afternoon.  Sitting quietly, often one leg up (purple band on the right and green on the left - is that right, Tracy?) and one eyelid closed.  Hard to keep my mind on my work....... 

Purple band is definitely Princess.  The US uses a purple aluminium FWS band these days, we us a silver band.  Her other band is bicoloured black over green indicating that she is a Midwest US bird.  Our bands are black (wild-hatched) or red (captive-bred).

If there are peregrines flying around my work building, I'd be fired for non-performance for sure!   ;D

Actually that is very good news TPC!!! - They'll be strong and healthy and all set for a good season next year, so at least there is a silver lining after a very hard time for them.   ;D...(Maybe we can put a 'No Nesting' sign on the East nest ledge next Spring...just in case).. :P

After so long a silence from our fearless leader, I figure this is going to be a pretty good story....

Trey (I think, but I've been known to be wrong.....could be Princess) is sitting right across from me on the ledge of the Somerset Bldg........
