OH MY...just got this response from Elise:

    thank you very much for your email.

    the peregrine falcon pair are back at the station. last time i checked they had not settled down on the bunker to lay any eggs yet.

    the Alcoa Anglesea operations are actually closing on August 31, 2015.

    unfortunately the workforce at Anglesea has been made redundant so there won't be anyone here to monitor the pair after this date for the website.

    i'm sure the pair will do just fine and will enjoy having the place to themselves.

    it has been a pleasure conversing with you about peregrine falcons over the years.

    elise

I wonder if they won't tear down the place once it closes and leave them homeless in the future?


that was my first thought too...I'll ask when I reply!!

Its very expensive to demolish a structure. We had a HUGE car assembly plant that stood vacant for years even though it was on prime Real estate. It is just now being torn down!!

WE did have some great times with this nest, Beth...the pepto bismol nest..LOL Every year I crossed my fingers and hoped for a cam...guess those days are over!!

they did disassemble one of these at Wabamun in alberta. but they compensated species at Risk for having to relocate falcons. this pair is on Pembina river now

I loved the nest with the pink box. It was wonderful. was never the same after that. bu t now maybe they can put a box back on water tower as that will probably stay in place. I wonder if they would consider that.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if they did place the nestbox back on the water tower as a parting gesture of kindness to the falcons. I won't hold my breath.

I have long missed the wonderful times we had watching this site.
