Monday early flirting between Newman and Lisa 53W.  He on his favorite dead branch about 6:30AM, then she on the large feeding ledge for a good while, vocalizing to unseen "someone."  She flies away, we see Newman on his branch, then he flies to the feeding ledge. I haven't seen them together but the signs are positive. 

 Sand barge back at work.

Camera is offline at GSB today.  Replacement?  Repair?  Work on the next box?

Sunday at noon, a group of small boats went through the locks all together.  Fun to watch.

Happy   Labor   Day   to Everybirdie

Flutters of peregrine activity and mewing calls from 53-W from about 8:00 to 8:30 this morning. She visited the large feeding ledge then the nest box, calling from both places.  Newman flew from his perching branch to the feeding ledge after she was gone.

Not sure what kind of bird Newman had for brunch on the feeding ledge today.

Looks like Lisa 53-W has been in the nest box and feeding ledges area all day today.  At 4:20 PM, she is perched atop the box and calling, but the view is from afar so not positive.  A few times the silver band on the right leg has been flashing in the sun.  No definite sign of Newman.  The view is really spectacular!
