I LOVE the one of the windy perch atop the bluff.  Nice to know where "their spot on the bluff" are.  :)

Evening pic of one eyase sitting on the edge of the nest box; the rest, not yet.
Savanna is mostly on watch at the nest box overnight.

Two on the edge early this morning. P-59, a female, and the other band not visible.

Adults perching atop the bluff, on the big ledge, on a deadfall branch -- no pic, but easy to find on the rewind.

I just saw on FB that RRP is concerned about Savanna, that she hasn't been seen and Newman has been feeding.  A GHO chased her last night.  :(  Keep your eyes out!  The picture of her from last night looks like she is in defense mode.

Nora, thanks for update even tho very concerning about Savanna and owl last night. 

Couple pics from late evening showing Newman on the long perch, where he was calling. Eyases OK. Another shortly after the night camera came on.  Then one eyas turned around on the box rim and is sitting guard like Savanna used to -- watch the turning on the rewind about 9:30PM. Still there at 2:00AM Tuesday.

Hope for Savanna's return and for the survival of all.

Hi STL and Nora
thanks for the snaps and updates.  Praying for Savanna, Newman and the four eyases. That's a given.

1204 -- Has anyone seen any breakfast brought in?  I've just done a rewind and have seen them picking at leftovers, but never found a delivery.
*EDIT* About 11:30 I found the very quick delivery by I think Newman.  Just lit, one took it, and he left.

Duh I checked the cliff cam.  It was Newman and they received a Baltimore Oriole.

Thanks Nora. But did he have to catch a pretty bird?  :P
