His colors are quite striking in this light

   

And just when I thought Beauty had told him to take the evening off...

B still on eggs-must be DC. 18:24 Ei

I knew B knew where he was-just a nervous nelly! Ei

remembered that after I sent it. PS-B out 15:47 Ei

What the heck was that noise???  Poor Beauty, I don't know who jumped higher..me or her!

After I sent a tweet I remembered they're clearing the log jam under Main St. Bridge today. That might be it.

3 loud blasts heard approx 15:35 on cam-startled B. Ei

Lots of scrape maintenance the past couple of days...

Bed head!

I actually live close to this nest. It's all but impossible to see from anywhere on land. I had been looking for years and finally had a friend with a boat find it for me. The way the bridge is constructed you just can't see it. And there's really nowhere safe to watch for birds flying. It's on the Poughkeepsie side of the river and you can only go so far along the railroad tracks. And freight trains on the other side of the river.
Frustrating.

13:14 Ei

Beauty is one strong and amazing bird!

11:54 and B is in Ei
