5:58 am Ma began to vocalize. So I checked on DM at the center pole and he had flown. When I returned to the long branch, Ma has flown too. Someone is at the Delta pole.

8:22 am just as I got the center tower and pole, someone flew off to the right. Thinking these two are Ma and DM at the center tower and pole. Lost them with the tree trunks. The eagle at the Delta pole is still there.

8:44 am the tower eagle is still on the spike at their tower. Can't see the little ones as maybe nap time. Either Ma or DM are still at the center tower.

10:26 am oh my goodness, look how big the tower eaglets are now. Cans see them sitting up tall. One of the adults is on the spike.

10:33 am logging off the cam. The wind is whipping the cam around. Didn't see Ma or DM. It looks like a good morning to do some soaring.

12:17pm.....Good afternoon Delta2 friends! Thanks Rose and Sandy for keeping our data up to date here! The sun is out today, its a bit of a mixed bag but much better than the past few days. That wind just doesn't seem to want to go away though.
