Only a few short days ago, many were concerned and downright fearful that the Radisson would not be a nesting site. Regardless of where the birds have decided to nest, we should be grateful that they have done so.
Each nest site has it's advantages and disadvantages.
West advantages - more and easier access for banding, cameras, and sound.
Disadvantages - not so many safe buildings to fledge to.
East, advantages, wonderful fledge buildings that make it easier for the fledgling to return to the nest.
East disadvantages, harder and more expensive to band, no sound and only one camera.
I'm thinking that the birds know what they're doing and really don't care what we think or feel.
Something in the female is telling her to nest on the ledge - that's what she did, and we have to be content with her decision.
