That was a beautiful sunrise, Shep!
Cam ops found a peregrine perched on the small ledge at daybreak today.  No idea which peregrine, but any bird gives us hope. Low clouds, low temps, frozen river.

Probly NOT Newman.
His perch was RLD - not here.
One of his mates - maybe Nova - liked this perch.

Nova - 2020
EXPLORE Tucker13 replied to my query on Nova

Hello.. Yes, I remember Nova (not banded). Newman's mate in 2020.

She laid 4 eggs, 1 egg broke, 3rd nestling died not long after hatching and 2 chicks (Elise & Floyd) were taken by a GHOW in early June.

Nova came back in 2021, was seen mating with Newman, but other female's were around that year. She got into a big fight in the nest box with the female "Nina" and won the fight. She was seen mating with Newman later, after the fight, then wasn't seen anymore.

It seemed to me that she decided to move on and find another nest site/mate.

Note off bcaw by Apollo

Zazu bright n early
and again around noon.

thanks for all of the IDs! Zazu makes a lot of sense. We also saw him over at USB just across the river. I'll be curious if Julie, who he was courting over there, follows him here. I'm going to have to keep a close eye on that nestbox!
