If you get cam-starved, watch the Aussie falcon.
She lays 3 eggs last week of August every year

Good morning SHEP and STL

Gorgeous sunrise from the Bluff cam this morning.  I hope they don't turn it off.  :(

Thanks for the info on the Australian cam SHEP. 
Is this the cam SHEP?

3 pm August 24
AHA!  I wondered why the upstream barge grouonded to one side.
Here comes a downstream barge.  Got it.
Uppy parked so Downy could make the turn.

Uppy is still to the side - will he need the tug to haul him out?

The Mississippi flyway is busy.  Thank you for the picture SHEP.  Heavy rain, thunder and lightning when I was on the live cam last night.  Western WI is getting a lot of these storms this year.

Aug 31 report -
Aug 29 and 30 I saw a lot of diving and swooping and zooming past the cam.
It was really cool.

Tomorrow September

What do you think it was.  In your expert opinion what do you think it means?

GSB cam ops found a flock of cormorants on a submerged branch below the nest box area.

Sept 4, 2022 SONday
7 am or shortly after I heard the falcons echupping in RLD - under the ledge.
Maybe they will nest under there next spring.
I wonder if RRP will make any cam arrangements.
I really dont want them to do any dangerous trix for a cam.

7.51 am A LARGE ODD BARGE coming downriver
16 units - dunno whats on there
being followed by a tug to guide it

OMG!   :o
8.12 am  Here comes another barge!  Cam needs to be on locks

2 pm another downriver barge  small one.
We have no cam op today

Explore has a few pics,  I shud steal one ....
