This morning, the ropes are still in place after yesterday's work at the nest box.  More to be done here probably.

Bright red barge headed upriver about 1:30 this afternoon, and the RRP ropes are still in place.  Watching the rewind around 3:00, there's someone moving in the trees at the top of the bluff, looks like retrieving the ropes.  Watch the blog or Home screen for  explanation soon.

Apparently there's more work to be done at the GSB nest box and bluff area because the ropes are back this morning, or still there from yesterday.

This morning, the ropes appear to be gone from the nest box/bluff.  Distant view of Newman on the box perch.  Too far to see if the box has been cleaned out, but I'm guessing Yes.

Looks like the nest box has been cleaned, in closeup.  Newman was checking it out, too.  Also, some of the brush has been cleared on top of the bluff area.
