So nice to see the paddle wheel -
followed by a big barge

[Phyl]

STL tks for Newman and the Paddlewheeler, LaCrosse Queen barge and river snaps.
 Did a riverboat cruise down Cumberland R. several years back---so nice.

Newman on nest box perch early this morning.

BEAUTIFUL DAY
oct 9
BIG 14 car barge heading upriver

[STLbf]

River cruise boat and a barge going in opposite directions about 9:00 this morning.
Lots of cormorants in trees across from the nest box at about 11:00.  You'll need to zoom to see them up closer.
No peregrines this time.

[Phyl]

Thanks STL looks like a nice day.

Hi Shep

Around 7:45 pm last night somebody goofed up and went south on the north bound lane of I-90.  Head on collision with semi-truck with probably deadly results.  Lots of flashing lights for a few hours.  Sad.

Wrong-way driver killed  on I-90
 OCTOBER 12, 2023
A pickup truck driver age 87 on the wrong side of the interstate in southeastern Minnesota died in a collision with a semitrailer truck about 20 miles south of Winona on Interstate 90.

I have seen older people driving who have no biz behind the wheel.  I took my Dad's keys away from him!  They are a danger to others!  Their kids NEED to know when to take their keys away.  I knew when I needed to give up driving on my own.

[Phyl]

Oh my word!
This is so sad---I hated reading this.
Yes Shep folks with aged parents need to have 'this talk'. Both my parents are gone due to terminal illnesses .  However,  giving up on driving would have been
something they each would have considered on their own. 

🙏 's for the fellow's family.

Partial eclipse dimming the sky around GSB.  Nice way to introduce the new season for Decorah and Decorah North cameras to come back online at noon.

[Phyl]

Many thanks STL. Time to get in the Cam watching habit again. 

[STLbf]

Fall colors are getting brighter every day at GSB and also the Flyway.  No peregrines in view for several days.  Have they "flown the coop" or will they re-appear again soon?  Time will tell.

[Phyl]

STL these are lovely snaps of the Autumn foliage. Tks

[shep]

This is when they fly south.
Ya think they're goin together?

[Phyl]

Shep-Newman/Lisa, who knows. Maybe.
