I just looked back through my earlier video and, yes, that was a parent in the field with Coola. Coola flew to the left so hopefully ok.

Oh Darlene, I was playing with that video too. Sorry to duplicate.

5:42 Bella is still on the nest and no sign of the parents or Coola. I have to leave to get dinner going!

6:08 pm - Bella is still on the nest at this time...up spreading his wings and letting the wind take him up

6:17 pm - He had laid down but now back up and calling out

I am going to log into the cams

5:22 pm in rollback, Bella up for a good stretch and PS.

Hi Sue...

[SueB]

Hi Sandy!

6:36 pm - Bella was really calling out a lot as if someone was flying around but I couldn't find them. Finally someone did come in...looked like Trooper and he brought something for Bella to eat

Trooper left quickly

[SueB]

6:37 pm - Bella took the meal to the corner...looked like a rabbit leg and a little bit of the meat

[SueB]

6:55 pm - this wind is just getting out of hand....not sure how anyone can hold in.....Bella is done eating...started calling out and found an adult on the evergreen tree blowing all over the place.

[SueB]

6:58 pm - someone (an adult) just went zipping by our adult on the evergreen

[SueB]

7:08 pm - Bella is still on the nest, squeeing away...probably because of the adult on the evergreen tree. I was not able to find the other adult that flew by.

[SueB]

7:09 pm - Bella looking down from the nest....not sure if someone is there as had to follow Bella as he moved around the nest...to the stump and then up in the tree

Some windsurfing on the stump

Up on the branch and we can see the adult is still out on the evergreen tree

[SueB]

7:13 pm - Beautiful Bella....holding on tight in this wind

And it's a little too much for Bella so he comes back down to the nest

[SueB]

7:20 pm - the adult on the evergreen tree is looking around......the cam is starting to stutter....heavy winds normally are not good for the cams but will keep them up as long as I can. Was trying to check the distant evergreen and I don't think anyone was there.

7:25 pm - went back to check on the adult because Bella was calling out and they had left the evergreen tree. Not sure where they went to...checked everywhere and have not found any other adults.

Posting a picture for Kathy of where Ma and Coola were this afternoon. If she can, she will go and check the field.

Thanks for letting us know this Darlene. It's great to have someone on the ground to check things out. Hard to see things with these high winds bouncing the cams around and now with a lot of sun glare.
