9:53 am - an adult at the pole in the East field, beyond the evergreens...this adult was gone around 10:04 am, after I took a look around the area

Someone at the middle field tree...I'm not seeing white but the cam is moving around so much with the strong winds that it's hard to get a clear shot

And someone at the middle tower

10:20 am - hard to move the cam around the area as it is just too windy and won't focus. The only large bird I'm seeing right now is on the middle field tree.

I am now off the cam.

11:15 am in rollback, Trooper is now in the nest as could watch him fly in. I couldn't tell if he brought a stick or not? Both are working with the sticks and rails.

11:16 am in rollback, Both Ma and Trooper then flew. May have gone over to the stick tree or evergreen as Trooper seemed to be watching Ma fly.
