I know you were, just thought if there were any other ones you wanted to see those were viewable.  :)

Well it was an idea.  Glad I watched them both yesterday.  Unless it's just today King and High Bridge are off.  :(

Newman visited the nest box for a while about 10:00 this morning.  That's all I saw.

Many thanks Nora  ;) and STL. I do wonder if Newman isn't waiting and 'seareching' for his GSB kids in 'all the old familiar' places.  :(

Missing the cliff cam.  Barges and lochs, trains, cars, trucks, motorcycles, service vehicles, birds, bugs, plants even when the perigrines are away are way better than that same old highligt reel.  :)

eburg, I'm wondering if the GSB Cliff Cam is down for repairs or just turned off because the fledglings are dispersed. The Nest Box Cam is working -- but nothing happening there.  Does anyone know?

Last year, the Cliff Cam was turned on through After The Fledge because there was a riverboat ride and the ATF-ers waved at us watchers!  Here's a pic.

I haven't heard on the cliff cam, unless something happened to is with a storm or something?  I remember it was on longer.  If it was shut off I wouldn't think the highlights would be on it either?

***UPDATE***  John was just leaving, but he said it might have gotten some lightning damage.  He's hoping to answer me more later on or tomorrow.  I asked on the juvies.

FYI, the GSB camera is back live this afternoon.  Several hazy views from about 3:00 to 5:30 PM.  The haze is likely from Canadian wildfire smoke, predicted to be pretty heavy this weekend over many US states.  No peregrines in sight. Few people also on the riverboat or at the locks.

Yep it was like that down here too (SW of Decorah).  At least the humidity let up a lot this afternoon.

Nora and STLbf, thank you for the updates about the cam, and the screen shots.

Wildfire smoke causes beautiful sunrises.  Newman, I believe, is in the area still, and likely perched high above the locks this morning for several hours.
