Great shot of the two scratching together! They've spent way too much time together :-)

I'm sorry it took soooo long to post this picture but I just learned how to post again.It's good to see both Hera and Zeus spend sooo much time at the nest box. :smile:

The other falcon is on the box they used year before last.

I wonder if they will choose this box?

Pick a Nest - Any Nest
This morning finds the Zeus and Hera on the East ledge of the Woodmen Tower trying to keep warm. Last night the temperature dipped to -7°F and today's high temperature is expected to be 5°F.

Both falcons have started to hang around the nest more as they begin their annual shell game of picking a nest lay their clutch of eggs. The Woodmen Tower has nest boxes on both the North and East sides of the 28th floor. In 2009, the peregrines used the East nest. Last year, they selected the North nest at the last minute. So, history says they should be back in the East nest for 2011.

Peregrine falcons prefer to nest on cliffs which makes the tall buildings of cities perfect for nesting. A nest site, called an eyrie, consists of a shallow scrape that holds from 2 to 6 eggs.

So, which nest will it be this year? Only Zeus and Hera know.
