Good to see a barge, and the peregrine pair are around, too.

Cam ops got closeups this morning of U-09 with readable bands so we know it is she.  Pretty sure it's Newman, also.

Late last season, RRP installed another camera at GSB.  It shows the "far side" of the nest box bluff area and farther upriver.  Here are two pics, but way better to see the panning view on the rewind at about 10:00 this morning.

Four  large birds soaring in the GSB area early this morning.  Turkey vultures, I think, and there were lots more than the four on the rewind!

Are they turning the GSB cameras off today, also? Just in case, Newman gave us a fist bump from this perch at the nest box early this morning.

Good news, the camera is still turned on at GSB.  Newman and U-09 visited the large feeding ledge this morning.

Hi Nora !
Hi STLB !

So glad the GSB cams are still up. Thanks for the snaps. Thrilled to see
Newman and U90 socializing.
Sure hope one day/season an egglet comes from that.  :)

Newman at the nest box, lying flat and panting on the roof about 11:00 AM.  Missed a pic of several birds flying around nearby, no idea if something is chasing him.   Anybody with more info?
