    I have not heard anything yet about the falcons, there is a pair in nesting box so there will likely be some new ones on the way. There seems to be more photography people around lately watching them as in past years.

    It was rental for decades as I knew many of the tenants, don't recall a Tracey though. Most rentals I see down here don't seem to get needed upgrades, so only fix what is absolutely needed and all else gets put off. Please lets us know if you find any history, good luck.
