Newman and Lisa are tantalizingly close today.

Sure wish we'd go LIVE at GSB and stay there.  Highlights get old pretty fast when they're looped!

Many thanks to whomever turned the switch to "ON" again.  Flyway soundtrack over Cliff cam views is heaven until the Decorah cams return.  Then I switch the sound to the North Nest.  My "solar juke box"!

Newman spent a couple of hours on his favorite branch this morning. Cam ops provided some great closeup views.  Thanks for all you do!   :D

Newman has not been on camera for a couple of days, and a couple more for the new female, 53-W.  Do the peregrines leave when their main food sources migrate, I wonder?  Anybody know?

Adult peregrine perching on the large feeding ledge starting about 1:00 this afternoon, still there at 2:00.  No view of legs with or without bands so far, so it could be anybirdie.

Phyl, you must be looking at the Nest Box Cam, which is on Highlights and closeup views of the next box and nothing else.
The Cliff Cam is live and that's the one where the adult was earlier this afternoon. Right now, it is raining at GSB.  And raining at the Flyway, too.

This morning early, an unbanded adult was at the large feeding ledge again, just perching for a while.  I'm guessing that it is Newman because it is his territory, but no way to tell for sure.  I wonder if Newman has any individual distinguishing characteristics that the experts use to ID him. . . .  ::)

Maybe compare photos from this pas season where's he had been ID with this one?   :-\

Wouldn't' Nora be able to help? She's pretty sharp.
