Pics of GSB are getting many views!      Maybe folks who will be attending ATF.

Here's Newman up close on top of the bluff early this afternoon.  I'm pretty sure it is Newman.

Many thanks STL. Sure wish the 'kids' would show  up.

Just went back and enlarged your snap. I think you're right about being Newman

[Phyl]

I just snapped this...

Looks like Newman to me.

[STLbf]

Newman to me, too, Phyl.

On the rewind, you can join Newman for breakfast at daybreak on the small feeding ledge.

The way the crevice in the wall looks in the second picture I thought he was holding a fish for minute!!!

[Phyl]

Thks STL for the snaps.  Ditto Nora.

LOLOL Nora!!!    It does!  Wouldn't that be a hoot! That would have to be some kind of very high flying fish!!

Visual magic at the ledge!  Yesterday afternoon an adult peregrine perched for a while on the "posing" log at the Flyway.  Here's two pics.
It is probably waiting for a smaller bird to fly past.

Many thanks STL for the  great snaps. Just had a nice thought...no not the eyas...or Savanna come back from the beyond. Though
any or a combo of the above would be just loverly.
Have a good night folks.

SEDs to you, too, Phyl.  Watchers of the other peregrine cam locations can be on the lookout for banded juveniles that might be from GSB, and us, too, of course.

I forget how far the GSB nest box is from the camera at the Flyway.  Anybody remember?  Could be that Newman hunts both areas if they are fairly close.

[Linda M]

I believe that GSB and the Flyway cam are only separated by about 5 miles.

Checked out the distance between the cliff cam and the flyway cam on Google Earth, and the distance of separation is only a little over three miles.  Occasionally cam ops from both have looked at the other.

Thanks to Linda M and eburg for the distance info.  Not an unusual distance for a peregrine to fly I guess.  Here's Newman back at GSB this morning.

[Phyl]

Hi All.
Many thanks Linda, eburg and STL.
STL tks for snap of Newman
