I received an email from Glenn N. since I am subscribed to the SF forum. It includes some great pictures!

Back on December 13th, Glenn Stewart drove up from Santa Cruz to change out the gravel at the PG&E nest ledge. I went along to document the process and to clean the web camera housing for next season.

He had barely started shoveling out the old gravel for disposal, when both Dapper Dan & Diamond Lil showed up to protest our intrusion. So I swapped lenses and documented them instead of the work on the ledge. Here is one of my favorite shots...

If you are curious as to what the cleanup looks like, then check out the page from last year here:

Hope all had a great holiday, and hope we all have a peaceful and prosperous new year.

looks like both falcons in the picture. Hard for me to accept that you can actually see the falcons on that building even though I know that it is true. :roll:
