TPC, Princess is 12 -- is that closing in on infertility time for a female PF? 

Mortality drops off significantly after year one so that average lifespan has been reported at about 16 years.  But as you can tell from watching all the webcams, lots of birds aren't resident breeding birds for all that time.  As for an individual bird's fertility, I'm afraid I can't tell you.

Any chance viewers of the Radisson would have an online option to enable switching between a ‘Nestbox View’ or ‘Ledge View’ Cam, TPC?  Would sure be nice to see what is happening on the ledge, and during the night there is added help from the street lights! I’ve seen this on some other live cams. Maybe out of our reach, but just wondering.

I often hear Princess talking to the chicks while she is holding food in her mouth, as well as feeding them. She isn’t the only peregrine that calls their chicks when feeding, but I think her ability to carry on and on while feeding is quite a talent!
I love listening to her chat to them too!  :D

Princess just came back with a meal, Smiley on the chicks - 1/2 hour plus.
Yay, things are balancing out.

I'm afraid that egg is toast.   :( 

Unfortunately, I think you may be right, Liz. :(

Poor guy, he's constantly looking over his shoulder. Bet he's looking for Princess and is ready to bolt.

He had about the same amount of time on them yesterday too.  Glad she's relaxing!
