Linda Woods reports: 2:10 Checking in on the former nest ledge at the Sheraton Hotel, Windwhistler is on the ledge facing south enjoying the sunshine. Moments later Wind landed on the ledge. Windwhistler started "chattering" and walked over to the spot the actual nest was, as Wind walked the length of the ledge and hoped into the nesting box and looked down onto Windwhistler, she is also "chattering" This chattering that the peregrines were doing was not like the loud vocal "cherub" that can be heard during courtship season, but soft and almost "budgie like" vocalizing. They remained on the ledge in my view for about 20 minutes.
