Good ideas, Phyl.  Here's probably Newman this morning on the favorite dead branch for perching.

[Phyl]

Could be Mr. Newman himself. 
If you're not correct---I'd be surprize.

Surprise, surprise, Newman and Lisa were still at GSB this morning.  Perching near each other, see pics, and I think they were also soaring together but no pic of that.  Newman's top feathers are blue-gray while Lisa's are much darker; that's one way to tell them apart when her bands are not visible.  I'm smiling!   

[Phyl]

Thanks STL.

YAY!

[STLbf]

It's great to see this almost-pair still at GSB at the end of September.
Will they stay all winter?  Will they migrate as usual?  Will they return in the early spring?
Stay tuned and watch the GSB cam for fall foliage, barges, birds, and more.

Hi Everyone and Happy Weekend!

STL many thanks for the snapshots of our 'hopefully new pair". Lots of questions to be answered and only by Newman and Lisa.

It's October!  Newman is still in residence this morning.

Newman still here this morning.  Fall colors are getting really nice on the bluffs.  Bunch of water birds resting on a fallen tree across from the nest box location, mostly cormorants I think.

[STLbf]

Eagles and barges, oh my!

[STLbf]

Newman spent about an hour this morning on the nest box perch around 7AM, then to his favorite branch about 8AM.

Another close encounter for Newman and Lisa this morning.  She was on the large feeding ledge and he on the nest box perch at about 7:30 AM.  Both flew away, then Newman returned to the nest box and the large feeding ledge for a while before flying away again.  Nice views of a long barge headed upstream in between the falcon views if you like the barges, too.

Pics of the peregrines.

[STLbf]

Really, so many views of posted peregrine pics??  OK by me.
This morning starting about 7:00, Newman was on his branch and Lisa 53-W was on the feeding ledge and the nest box. She was vocalizing, and maybe he, too.  Maybe they were talking about the cormorants gathered in the trees across from the next box.

Lisa 53-W on the large feeding ledge again this morning, around 9:30.  See on rewind for good views of her ID bands.

Newman on site this morning, at sunrise on the nest box perch, then at 8:15 on the large feeding ledge.  Haven't seen him eating anything for a long time, but must be, just off camera.

Paddlewheeler, LaCrosse Queen, came through the locks heading upriver, turned around, and back through the locks between about 11:00 and noon.  Perfect day for a river cruise.
