let us know . always willing to help

Hopefully TPC can get a Tupperbin up there, it makes a great difference during those heavy spring rains. The Peregrine Recovery Program will need a boost from some donations this season methinks!!

yes we should throw a baby shower with a money tree so that we can pay for the expenses that come wiht nesting on the ledge.

- If the East Ledge is your choice this year (   ) then you're the best one to handle that. We'll be rooting for you all!!  

I'll join Susha in saying "ditto" to that, Ballywing! If it IS Princess, I thought she'd gotten smarter in the last couple of years, but you're right that she's probably the best one to handle the location. She may be playing "Mumbrella" more often than she remembers!

Princess, if that's you - WELCOME BACK!!   - You may have a challenging season ahead of you so hope you had a good restful winter!!! - If the East Ledge is your choice this year (   ) then you're the best one to handle that. We'll be rooting for you all!!  

Well put, Bally!  ditto

  Would be so happy to hear that our Radisson Royals are together again. Would be happier if they  (Princess?) chose the nestbox.
We need to throw a "baby" shower for the 2013 eggs. Speaking of showers, weather going up into + double temps tomorrow. That could mean Spring showers, finally!

Am so hoping this is Princess back again. It would prove that she's wise enough to wait out the coldest weather.

Looks like incubation is underway, a bird (Ivy I think) is still on the eggs on the nestledge ...

I was trying to remember and I could not locate it anywhere (probably mised it), but is Princess the only one that we are aware of with the green band?

Not quite.  Sandy from Fargo is a floating female who has spent some time here and she has a black/green band.  Though it doesn't apply here, Smiley from Grand Forks also has a black/green band.  That is one of the reasons why we think it is Princess (band colour and some so-far unique feather patterns on her head) but we can't confirm until we see her leg band.  Eventually we will know for sure

Looks like Ivy is on the eggs ... I would say that incubation has begun but we will watch through the day ...
Princess is on the east side Hydro sign in the sun ...

Well we know Tracy is good with the Tupperware
by the way is tupper back at Selkirk. I better go over there and check

We are considering a TupperNest again for the Radisson but no decisions on that yet.
And nothing in Selkirk yet - and it's Ty, Tupper's brother who was there last year 
We are keeping our fingers crossed though.

I've been reading posts for a few weeks now, but this is the first time I've logged in to post!!  Happy spring everyone - looks like it may finally be here!!

I've also been eagerly awaiting eggs!  I was sad with Ivy, and now I'm happy that it looks like Princess appears to be back!  That fateful day a few years back was got me interested in the falcons, so this will be my first year watching them on the ledge rather than the nest box.  Hoping all goes well......
