Bye Bev - thanks for the scaps and obs..

I'm calling it a day - very quiet here! I haven't heard any trilling close by/in the distance..

Nice juvie! Night Bev, Heather, Philjo, everyone and thank-you for today!

I'm putting the cam on the nest....

More flying by..one perched in the tree Swans!

Hi Bev - not much to see here perhaps most of the eagles have perched already ... I'm just seeing the odd fly-by..!

And an eagle now in the lone tree - which just flew... What a quiet late afternoon...

There are a few eagles flying by the lone tree now and three perched.. And a couple of 'flyers' close to the ground...

Thinking there is one adult - maybe two perched in the tall trees at Dad's perch... Not sure, though!

No eagles in the lone tree and I can't find any perched in the trees to the right and left...lol And no eagles at the shore at Dad's perch area...

There are a few eagles left on the flats - lots of swans...

Hi again - I checked back to my last post and no nest visits...

Will peek around on the NPTZ for half an hour or so..

I haven't found any eagles...some beautiful swans flying by at the lone tree, though...I haven't seen eagles flying by there.. No eagle trills....

ADD: 2:54pm I've put the cam back on the nest - try to BBL

Two eagles in the lone tree now... Bye Bev - thanks for your obs and scaps!

Looks like eagles eating here

There seem to be a lot of eagles flying over there, too...but they don't show up on my scaps..

Some feeding going on here, too...perhaps a lot of the available salmon carcasses have been picked over? Just a guess..

I don't see too many eagles on the flats at Mom's perch...but there are some - mostly sitting quietly..

Quite a few more here and some are feeding..

I just saw one eagle on the shore at Dad's perch area - none perched in the tree.. And one adult perched in the lone tree...none on the shore and I couldn't see any farther out...

Thanks so much Yolande :huge:

Dad is smart

YW Bev! I'll take a short look around while I'm here...

There was another visit after that one...Dad arrived in the nest at 12:09pm and stayed until 12:26pm. It was basically an uneventful visit - Dad pretty much rested in the nest...

Lady was soon up and moving all around in the nest - changing small sticks around... She flew off the nest at 9:23am - not to the BSB END of DVR sequence..

Both eagles worked away companionably - no beaking.... Then Dad quietly went to the BSB and Lady lay in the nest...

Lady went to the BSB and Dad moved a few things around - then lay down in the nest... Lady was back at 9:13am with some moss...

Dad finished placing his branch and tried to budge Lady out of the centre of the nest - lots of beaking! Dad prevailed and Lady moved up to the rails...

She eventually lay down - Dad was back fairly quickly with a stick and Lady hopped up, trilling...

Sorry for the delay - having trouble with the DVR!

Lady occuppied the centre of the nest and Dad watched for a bit - then flew to the BSB, leaving Lady working in the centre of the nest...

Dad didn't do tto much in the nest - moved a few bits - and Lady flew back in at 9:02am Both started moving a loose branch in the rails - the same one...

Cont: Lady finished her meal at 8:53am and flew to the BSB - Dad went right to where she had been eating and checked for scraps... I don't think there were many!

But, he did find something...to munch on

See you've already started so will just watch...thanks Bev.

Hi all - just here now and thank-you for all your coverage this morning, Bev! I'll just continue on with the visit you started before checking the rest of the tape. Lady took her prey [looked like part of a fish carcass] up to the rails - Dad was moving little branches and eyeing it... Untitled 4993...

The cam is on the nest - thanks for today, everyone and have a great evening!

Hope there will be a nest visit....

Sorry, but I have to go - I checked the perches along the river and didn't see eagles there....no trilling heard while I was here! But just found an adult perched high up to the right of the lone tree.. Untitled 49925 (2).jpg And here is an adult perched in the trees along the fairway at Dad's perch...

It's a beautiful sunset, too... ADD: Still some feeding going on on the shore at the lone tree.. Two eagles perched to the right of the fairway now..
