Chris confirmed on Monday that Diana (our downtown female) is sitting on at least one egg. We’ll check today to see if there are more.

Anouk checked the Heron Rd. site on Tuesday and, after lots of experimentation to find the best vantage point, could see that Rowena was sitting on her nest.

Short of attaching a camera to a little remote-controlled helicopter (or perhaps a drone, as some have suggested), there’s no viewing angle that will let us see in the nest. That means the number of potential chicks will remain a mystery. (And in case anyone does have a drone handy, you might want to consider what an annoyed, territorial Peregrine might do to it!)
