Nora, thanks for the butterfly ID!  I agree & my butterfly book says they like to feed on animal droppings. It was doing that along the edge of the nest box. Probably for the minerals like salt.

Pics from this morning, all around 10:00.

Wonder where Jayce is off to this morning.

Jaycie is in the picture, also Kami and Newman for sure.  Here are some morning pics, mostly feeding adventures when I could get a banding number or other ID.  Rewind will have some great flight and soaring times.

Youngsters hanging around looking and waiting for food this morning.  Jaycie P60 was in the nest box briefly, then later atop the bluff eating a bird.
Other banding numbers not visible.  Newman is still providing food.

One view of Newman early this morning, bloody feathers look like he had caught prey.  The rest of the day is all Jaycie P60, perching in the area and on the box roof.  Pretty sure she caught her own bird this afternoon about 2:00.

Hi everyone
Around 04h22 this early morning
A visitor on the roof...

[STLbf]

Philjo, cute mouse visitor on the roof during the night!  This little fellow needs to know that Newman has caught chipmunk for the fledglings!

[Nora in IA]

Oh how cute!!!!

Some pics from yesterday morning, Wednesday June 28.

About 4:00 this morning, an owl, GHO I believe, perched on the small feeding ledge then the large feeding ledge.  No views of the owl eating anything and it flew away.  At daylight, Newman was perching on a favorite dead limb, and at 7:00 on the nest box perch.

No sightings of any of the fledglings so far on the rewind up to almost noon.  Is it typical for them to disperse so soon after fledging?

Thanks a million to the cam ops for all the wonderful views at GSB this season.

Couple closeups of wild vegetation, and a beautiful dragonfly this morning, I believe an azure bluet.
