Photos are great as usual Dennis!  So fascinating to see the peregrines fly upside down!  Thanks for this.  If you didn't show us through pictures we probably would never know the neat things of nature.  Seeing is believing!  Am always amazed at your pictures. :)

This year, Beau took a shine to the location pretty early in their relationship and despite Jules' repeated requests for last year's site.


Jules, good girl,.... new man AND new home. 
Might as well choose the complete package!

They haved decided to nest on the B&B in the older of the two nestboxes in their territory... 
As for the street address, we are keeping that confidential again this year.  If we can get them to nest successfully here perhaps in the future we can "spill the beans" but for the moment, we are giving them their space in the hopes that it will increase their odds for success.

Yes, I do understand about the need for their nesting location to be kept confidential, TPC. I was really just curious as to whether they chose the older nestbox or the new "upscale" condo, that's all.  ;)

They haved decided to nest on the B&B in the older of the two nestboxes in their territory.  And when I say older, I mean that this building has had a box of one type or another on it for most of the last 20 years.  A couple of years ago, the newest incarnation of the box was installed when it became apparent that we had a pair - at the time Ivy and Lucy - using the West Winnipeg site.  We thought that the new box and new design might appeal to them more than the older design.  Ivy and Jules visited it last year but opted not to nest there.  This year, Beau took a shine to the location pretty early in their relationship and despite Jules' repeated requests for last year's site.

As for the street address, we are keeping that confidential again this year.  If we can get them to nest successfully here perhaps in the future we can "spill the beans" but for the moment, we are giving them their space in the hopes that it will increase their odds for success.

Those birds seem fairly certain they are being watched!  Wonderful pictures.

It looks like Beau has a pinky red spot on his lower chest.  What could this be?

Pretty sure its blood, probably from dinner ...  :)
