10:02am..............Just witnessed an amazing interaction between 2 eagles..........I think one was an adult as I managed to get one s'cap which might show a white head. This would make an amazing video if anyone wants to make one!

As the cam was panning from L to R we saw an eagle flying to the right near the far right pole and tower. It continued to head that way. Lost sight of it as it went down but got sight of it again as it was approaching the neighbour's tower where an eaglet was perched.

This one looked like it might have a white head but it may not have had one.

Great job following the eagles Jean! And Sandy, thanks for sharing the video.

1:51 pm - I just checked the rollback and the only visitors to the nest since the last post were these two little birdies

Thanks Sue............it is a sure sign when starlings start picking the nest that there are no eagles near it!
