Faber K/42 was seen at Castle Rock on Saturday and Sunday. Faber is a 2016 hatch from Faith Bluff, about 12 miles upstream. An unbanded bird was spotted here Sunday and pigeons also explored the eyrie. Better watch out, guys...not a real safe place for you!

Gee neither Faber OR Elsa went far from home to settle in.  They have a nice spot and what a fantastic view out the front "door".


Shift change....

Yeah, this site is a favorite! And you can walk a trail from the bottom to the top - steep for sure, but totally doable!

I'll never forget the time I went along to Lansing above the power plant and the key wasn't available and we all hiked up the end of the cliff.  That was a hike  :D
