Thank you for the update on Diamanté, Kris! More good progress for this brave little tiercel.

He looks very proud and handsome in the photo. 

The cam is active again, and this afternoon there were two peregrines at the nest. Can't tell from this view, but I hope that they are the long-time resident pair, Nona and Squawker.

This is the resident female, visiting the nest in January. She is a beauty:





The egg was not there yesterday:

This was a surprise! The first egg of the season at Petersburg, and only the second nest site where I have seen an egg (San Jose being the first).

I have seen the female here a few times recently; she is unbanded, but looks like the same female as last year. So far, I have not seen the male.

[Update Feb. 26, 2017]

An encouraging update on Peace today:

Update Feb. 26, 2017

You can view Peace live at www.acfbop.org. Peace has a nest approximately 3 feet off the ground on the right side of Cam 2. It was placed there to allow Peace to be with the other eagle in the flight barn. He will remain there and take flight when he's ready. Audubon staff has seen a considerable improvement in Peace’s behavior/activity since he was moved to the flight cage on Friday late afternoon. He is eating well and even begging the other eagle to feed him! His world is better and will soon be even better! We look forward to his release in the nest area when Audubon declares him ready.

DC did some work on the scrape this morning:

       

     

Hope was up in the tree this morning, enjoying the view. Then she climbed back down carefully, and went back into the nest. She and Juliet shared some fish, and Juliet preened Hope's head feathers.





The new, spacious set-up for Peace looks good.

Yes, she is a real falcon!

Here are a few pics from this morning:







And a few minutes ago I was lucky enough to see Flash and Valentine together:



I find that I can only access the live feed by going through YouTube.

If you click on the main link below, you wlll see a solid red rectangle on the left with the words S'abonner inside it.

If you click on that rectangle, it will take you to YouTube. Click on the image on the left which says LIVE NOW in red beside it, and that is the live stream.

[AEF-NEFL Peace Update!]

A new update on Peace this morning from the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey:

AEF-NEFL Peace Update! Good News... Peace is progressing into the flight at Audubon on Friday. They have constructed an elevated nest platform lined with natural, similar nest material he was used to. They will continue to feed Peace three times a day disguised behind a black curtain. There is one mature male eagle in the flight that is non-flighted who will act as a mentor for Peace. This eagle will encourage Peace and create a sense of normalcy as Peace observes him. Audubon knew something was wrong with Peace, but they do not have a specific diagnosis. The reason for his imbalance may never be known, but it is improving. This step transferring Peace into the flight is very reassuring and a positive step forward.

This is a new site with a webcam which came on line on February 22 of this year. Illkirch-Graffenstaden is located in the extreme northeast corner of France, not far from Strasbourg.

In September 2016, a nest box was installed on the bell tower of the Church of Saint Symphorien, where a peregrine had been observed for about two years. The lone peregrine took possession of the nest box, and soon attracted a female.

The peregrines have been named Flash and Valentine.
