4:17pm.......The eagles on the rooftop flew off............the picture was blurring really badly but it did look as if one or both turned to the right where the bay eagles nest is.

7:36 am - Good Morning Delta 2! A little late this morning but I've checked the rollback and did not see anyone arrive yet so logging into the cams now.

7:39 am - our eagles were already gone from the Old Nest Tree

7:44 am - I think they are both on the far right pole....and just as I got the cam there they flew off....still quite dark so hard to follow them

7:47 am - found one of them on the pole to the left of the flag pole

Post by **SueB** » Fri Jan 11, 2019 7:54 am

7:51 am - looks like both are there and it appears that a mating attempt happened....and it lasted longer than in the past so thinking it was successful this time!

Post by **SueB** » Fri Jan 11, 2019 7:55 am

7:51 am - and that was it....lasted about 10 seconds maybe

And Trooper drops down next to Ma

Post by **SueB** » Fri Jan 11, 2019 7:56 am

7:55 am - hard to tell but they are both still on the pole

Post by **SueB** » Fri Jan 11, 2019 8:15 am

8:02 am - found an adult on this distant pole out passed the stick tree

8:03 am - a little dark still but we have someone on one of the Tower neighbors' pole

Our pair is still on the pole, left of the flag pole

Post by **SueB** » Fri Jan 11, 2019 8:20 am

8:04 am - two adults on this distant tower, left of our far right tower

Oh, and looks like one of the young eagles is still hanging around....now on the right of center pole

Post by **SueB** » Fri Jan 11, 2019 8:21 am

8:09 am - both of our eagles flew off the pole and headed to the left

The young eagle is still on the right of center pole

Post by **SueB** » Fri Jan 11, 2019 8:24 am

8:20 am - I'm not sure if I'm seeing this correctly but looks like three adults on the distant evergreen.....possible that the one on the left is not a bird, but maybe the top of a pole(?), will have to wait and see.

Post by **SueB** » Fri Jan 11, 2019 8:26 am

8:25 am - this young eagle on the right of center pole has a lot of wonky feathers

Post by **SueB** » Fri Jan 11, 2019 8:33 am

8:30 am - the young eagle is still on the right of center pole

Adult on the middle of the field tree

And an adult on the flag pole

Post by **SueB** » Fri Jan 11, 2019 9:05 am

8:33 am - the adult on the middle of the field tree flew off to the left....lost them

8:35 am - and the adult on the flag pole flew off shortly after and headed to the right....tried to follow them but was on the E Cam and lost them behind the nest tree trunk
