7:05 am no one is at the tower eagle that I can see. Recording this as yesterday, someone looked to be in the nest most of the day and thought maybe there was an egg. Still not sure but no one is at the nest at this time. Either Ma or Trooper are at the center pole.
7:07 am logging off both cams as need to go.

9:01 am in rollback, Trooper had been just watching and then another mating when Ma comes back in the nest. I do think she sent Trooper a signal as she landed in the nest, she laid down. These two are wanting eggs for sure.
