Cam ops found a productive bald eagle nest in a tall tree on the long island across from the GSB box, and a bit farther north.  Closeup view at about 10:30 AM, then a pan out for location (orange circle in pic).

One can hope (Newman and U/09) and cool on the eagle nest.

Late morning, Newman landed on the ground at the bluff top area.  He poked around but not seen eating anything.  U-09 joined him, they had a quick bow, and he flew away.  She stayed for a few minutes, then left also. 

Earlier, small birds flying around the small cave entrances in the cliff face.  Some kind of brown swallow I think.  No pic.

I think they're cliff swallows.

These are from this morning (4/15).  She was on the ledge.  She's really pretty.  Anyway then Newman was at the nest box waiting in anticipation and she joined him there.  I thought she actually did more bowing than looking around this time and he was in there the longest.  After Newman departed she did a little scrape.

Not much to see of Peregrines this morning.  A smallish barge and its tug passed by about 9:00.

It sure has been quiet.  It's not a great day out with rain and wind. She was sitting on the perch around 4 AM for a while looking up, but that's about it since early until after 1 PM.

The cameras at GSB are offline today.

I've noticed that at least a couple days.  Not sure if there was a problem with a storm that came through or not.  I saw John at the earth day fest at the fairgrounds in Decorah today and remembered later I was going to ask him.  Sorry.

The recent lightning storm zapped some network equipment.
We are hopeful that replacements will arrive and can be installed later this week!

Thanks Shep.  We just got done cutting grass so hadn't had a chance to check stuff yet.  A couple storms have gone through lately with a LOT of lightning.

GSB camera back online at about 11:30 this morning.  No peregrines in view, but the bald eagle nest nearby on the island appears to have an eaglet being fed by a parent.

[STLbf]

Newman and U-09 are still here.  No eggs.  The sound is turned off at the live feed, but good to see the peregrines.

GOOD to have cam back, but I miss sound
