I saw on Explore there was a falcon setting on the cam.
Thats where Z liked to sit

Has anyone considered going to the nestbox site to see if the pair are nesting in a new location?  I saw that hinted at on Explore

It's great to have a banded bird visit GSB.  Love it when we know which bird is here.  Savannah is a lovely name and the record on her is worth reading.

The pic I posted this morning was from about an hour before the Savannah ID band pics.  I watched again on the rewind and just as "my" bird took off, it flashed a tiny bit of blue band. So Savannah and not Zooey.  Very cool.

Zooey hasn't returned yet.
And, there are two females knocking on Newman' front door... Savanna and Julie,
So who will  capture Newman's heart  this year?

Shep, in addition to peregrines getting active, some kind of fish must be running or spawning around the lock & dam.  Many people fishing early this morning.  Do you know what for?
