Guess they never got the cam up and running! They did a test on Ustream 43 days ago.
Here's a clip from today! 1 week to go for hatch!!
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=555592444559231&set=vb.538758112909331&type=2&theater (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=555592444559231&set=vb.538758112909331&type=2&theater)
DID YOU KNOW????
Inside the egg, the Peregrine chick has its head tucked under its wing. A large muscle called the hatching muscle runs from the middle of the neck to the top of the head. About 30 days after incubation has started, this muscle contracts. The chick's head snaps up and the egg tooth, a hard pointed knob on top of the beak, cracks the inside of the eggshell. This creates a "pip" - a small hole with tiny cracks spreading out across the shell. One to two days after pipping, the chick begins moving around in the shell. The egg tooth scrapes against the eggshell, cutting a ring through it. About 33 days after the egg is laid, the chick breaks out.
Info sources include Wikipedia, allaboutbirds.org and defenders.org as well as knowledge from Naturalist Matt Perry.

Posted on FB that for the safety of the chicks, they won't be banded. No reason given what the safety concern is. :(

Since our access is from the back of the box instead of the front there is the possibility of the babies going over the edge. We decided to leave them alone for this year, learn everything we can with this current set up and evaluate all aspects for next year. from fb
That splains it! Good call!

Several sites in Buffalo have back accesses and have never had problems during banding. I've seen some places put boards in front to block kids while someone takes them out the back.
