Great photos.  I haven't been in there as much because I've been watching eggs hatching at Red Wing and Hibbard.  Thanks!!

Thanks STL. Indeed it does. 
Incase I forget, GSB'ers have a nice Friday and SEDs.

Afternoon at GSB.  Eyases with full bellies and crops and squeeing for more.

Savanna spent some time watching from the top of the nest box. Shortly after she took off, Newman brought a little bird to the box perch, and Savanna swooped in to snatch it away.  She returned to feed the kids, probably with the same bird.  They can finish off a small songbird in just a few bites now.  Savanna perched atop the nest box again, then moved to the top of the bluff  (I'm pretty sure about the bluff, but haven't see her band yet).

If you have a big enough screen, you can see the peregrines swooping in the background when they are away from the nest box.  Prey is plentiful at this time of year.

These babies are adorable!  OMG!  I just clicked in and the dawn sun is on 4 babies!  I've been without internet for 10 LONG days!  Clearly Savannah has raised a brood before.  The RRP box is filled again after many years.  Hope to all 4 fledge healthy into the Minnesota skies!

7.30 am  I see a barge coming downriver! YAY!

Many tks STL for the update photos and info.

Eyases get more active and more vocal every day.  The oldest one(s) legs & feet are changing from white to yellow.

Savanna is doing the feeding and watching from what I see on the rewind yesterday and today.  Has someone seen Newman lately?

That is Newman, I believe.

[Phyl]

Thanks STL for snaps.
Nora/Linda- I too thought Newman.
tks Linda

Oh good, looks like Newman to me, too.  Small, slim, and svelte and perching nearby.

Nice!!

More dark feathers, and tail & wing feathers starting to grow.  All four seem OK.
Savanna fed them twice this morning, maybe more that I didn't catch on rewind.
