Delta2 2019 -2020 Observation and Discussion Thread

7:13 am - I am hearing some eagle calls so I am going to log into the cams now.

[SueB]

7:21 am - I believe both of our eagles are on the first pole together. So nice to see them bonding.

7:28 am - I am hearing eagle calls again and they are at a distance like they were earlier. I can't believe that I would be able to hear Ma & Trooper from way out on the pole, but who knows, maybe the wind is blowing in the right direction and sending their calls toward the nest.

[SueB]

7:31 am - can see at least one of the Tower eagles is up on their tower....kind of hard to make out if there are two of them there

[SueB]

7:38 am - found a couple on this distant tower, left of our far right tower

And taking the W Cam to the Tower eagles' tower to get a better view....and I am only seeing one white head, but that sure is a large eagle if it is only one there.

[SueB]

7:52 am - well of course, as I was just finishing up looking around with the E Cam our eagles flew off the first pole so I didn't get a chance to follow them and now can't find them anywhere. Guessing it is breakfast time again...just like yesterday. It seemed like there was another pair flying around beyond the first pole just as Ma & Trooper left.

Our eagle is at the bottom and the other pair is in the distance, above and to the left

[SueB]

8:09 am - only one someone on this distant tower, left of our far right tower....but looks like someone smaller on the tree a little closer

Both Tower eagles are at home and appear to be working on their nest. So great to see them both!

8:20 am - finally came across our pair....they are back...one is on the Delta Port pole while the other is on the first tower.

8:24 am - I have to run so am now logged off the cams. If anyone sees an eagle land on the nest please post. Thanks! Have a great day!

9:24am...........Good morning Delta2 friends! Thanks Philippe and Sue for posting! Great video of Ma and Trooper Sue! We always did know that Ma was the boss!

Rain coming today and will be around for several days ahead.

Checked the rollback.........No eagles have been to the nest since the last post.

I will be back later........have errands to run.

[JoanD]

9:49 am: I had a few minutes, so checked rollback. Did not see any activity on the nest. Will try to check back later.

[SueB]

10:02 am - checking the rollback and found Ma came to the nest at this time, looked like she had some nesting material. She dug around a bit before Trooper came in. I couldn't tell if he brought anything in with him.

[SueB]

I have been having a lot of problems with the E Cam rollback in that it is jumping seconds and sometimes minutes ahead....was just given a free upgrade to a new higher speed internet....assuming that may have something to do with it....better speed may not always be better, lol...Just like nothing is ever free. Anyway, I may miss some things, but we get the idea that Ma & Trooper are working on the nest today!

10:06 am - from the rollback - Trooper moves an evergreen branch as Ma hops out onto her branch

10:15 am - Ma flies off as Trooper is making himself busy

[SueB]

10:18 am - from the rollback - Ma comes back with a small branch

10:22 am - After a few minutes it appeared that Ma flew off...but I went to the W Cam rollback and found Ma had hopped up to the side branch....where our eaglets normally go when they first start branching.....I've never seen Ma go up that way before, standing on the side of the branch.

[SueB]

10:23 am - from the rollback - Ma then either flew up into the tree or totally off the tree...couldn't tell, but from Trooper's reaction she could have done both....he followed shortly after

Caught his tail flying out over the field

[SueB]

10:55 am - I am going to log into the cams for a quick look around.

10:57 am - found one of our eagles on the evergreen tree

[SueB]

11:00 am - found one of the Field neighbors on their tower

Thought I saw some movement here at the Bluff eagles nest

And this spot on the tree to the left of their nest....this is what I saw yesterday in the same spot so not sure if that is an adult or something else.
