Spring snow icky, but great pics Lori!

Savanna likes her eggs in a row (see my pic) while Newman needs them in a group so they fit underneath his smaller body (see Lori's pic).

Thanks Lori.

Early morning breakfast for Newman on the large ledge.  Mid-afternoon changeover at the nest box.  Snow has not melted.

Both cameras seem to be off this morning, showing highlights of GSB.  Power problem? Raccoons chewing the cables?  Anybody know?

I see Tstorms in forecast.
They turn cams off to protect cams.

Thank you Shep for the explaination on cams being down.

Yep when I got up there was a lot of lightning on the radar in SE Minnesota.

About 2 weeks until possible egg hatching time.  Newman came to the box about 2:00 this afternoon and tried to persuade Savanna to leave.  "No way Jose."  She was ready for a break at 3:00.  Eggs look OK.

returned to wild,
circled back to either thank the doctor or laugh at him.
I report, you decide.

The bear story about the guy that got in the accident on that page of videos was good too.

Things are looking well at the nest box.  It's been a gloomy morning out.  Down here we've had some sleet, graupel, and snow.  It's melting as it hits though.

The GSB nest box and residents seem all OK this morning.  Looks like the river level is rising.  Local weather where I live way south of here is predicting significant flooding on the upper Mississippi.  Would that likely close the highway that runs at the bottom of the bluffs?  And probably the railroad also.
