[Jean]

4:49pm.........Both adults watching and watching. Noticed a bit of a smudge on Ma's forehead.

Ma's round crop and forehead smudge.

[Jean]

4:51pm......More of Ma.

[Jean]

4:53pm.........Trooper.

[Jean]

4:54pm.......Ma hopped back into the nest...the work began.

[Jean]

5:06pm....Work was done............both standing and looking. Trooper approached Ma and they mated.

[Jean]

5:07pm..........The mating.

When done, Trooper got down but Ma stumbled and shot her wing to stay on balance.

[Jean]

5:12pm..........Ma left the nest, but went up onto a branch. Trooper kept looking into the distance. Then he flew. Ma was not seen after that so she likely flew off too.

Hi Jean! I can take cams when you are ready to go.

[Jean]

5:18pm....These are the only adults I'm seeing.............2 tower eagles.....and 2 adults on the cross. Do not know if the ones out on the cross are Ma and Trooper or not.

Hi Sue........just finished up! It is all yours! Thanks!

I am now OFF both cams.

[SueB]

Thanks Jean! I will log in now.

5:23 pm - an eagle at the Field neighbors' tower

[SueB]

5:30 pm - heard one of our eagles from off the nest....could just see them with the clear part of the E Cam...they are on the stick tree....can't see this spot from the W Cam, and I don't think I can zoom in with the E Cam to get a closer look due to the condensation on the cam cover

[SueB]

5:33 pm - noticed after my last post that the cam cover had cleared a little and could see that both of our eagles were on the stick tree

[SueB]

5:33 pm - and as I was editing the s'caps on my last post our eagles had flown off the stick tree....both flew down low

[SueB]

5:38 pm - looking around noticed that there are two field eagles on their tower now. I also checked the Church Cross and both of the Bluff eagles....assuming it was them, were gone from there.

And because we were a little while with the E Cam I keep forgetting about checking the Flag pole....and guess where Ma & Trooper went to....the last place that I could check.
