What happens to the eggs is part of the story. 
I'd like to hear that part.

... Princess and/or Smiley...may leave them there and when they aren't around something may come in and take them off or Princess or Smiley may break them and remove them themselves.  If folks are really interested, I can post here what happens ... but only if folks are interested in my doing this.

I would be interested in hearing what happens to the abandoned eggs.

I'm completely comfortable with knowing what will happen with the eggs.
I welcome new information as it's important to learn something new everyday.

I am definitely interested, and have been wondering the same thing for a few days.

Hi Tracy,

What happen to the eggs now?
Does Princess and/or Smiley get rid of them?

that will be up to Princess and/or Smiley.  They may leave them there and when they aren't around something may come in and take them off or Princess or Smiley may break them and remove them themselves.  If folks are really interested, I can post here what happens ... but only if folks are interested in my doing this.

I was off line since May 14, but I knew there was some bad weather in the forecast for Winnipeg.  I was so sad this morning when I read about Princess & Smiley's eggs.  I agree, it was better that this happened before the chicks arrived, although again very sad because the hatch dates were so near. :'(  Even though we know that it's mother nature and we have no control, and that this is something that can happen, it is so heartbreaking to our human emotions.

For those of you needing a fix  ;)  (and we all do)

This is Princess this morning ...

So nice to see Princess enjoying a day in the sun.
She sure deserves it! :D

For anyone who happens to be downtown, the Hotel has window cleaners working on the building - this is their last day there apparently.  So, if you are downtown and you see the peregrines defending the building and the nestledge, don't be surprised, that is to be expected - it is still "their" building and still "their nest" despite the events of the weekend, the switch just doesn't flip off in this kind of situation.

Starting about 1100h, Princess began an orgy of preening in the sun on the Radisson sign.
I think she is very much enjoying her day-in-the-sun.
