That's an awesome pic, Shep!   For rewinders, it was on Newman's favorite dead branch about 10:00 this morning.  See another pic.

Newman also has been perching in the same place this afternoon, around 4:00.

Newman made a nest box perch appearance this morning, and a dredge is at work.

Shep, thanks for the pics.  On my computer, the view at GSB via RRP seems to be stuck since yesterday.  Hmmmm.

Newman hung out at the nest box this morning for a good while.  Camera working just fine today.

From noon on, rewind to watch RRP work on the nest box and surrounding area, cleaning and trimming branches.  Amy and someone else descended from the top of the bluff!!!!!!!   The camera was shut off for about an hour but right before and right after, you can watch the work in progress.  The views must be spectacular from that location. 

At the same time, there's sand dredging right across from the nest site.
