5:52 pm - got lucky....just as the cam got to the Tower eagles tower, could see one of the adults flying up to the tower and landing on the left spike...their mate is on the nest

5:46 pm - Trooper was up off the eggs....he rolled them and did some digging...kind of odd for him...he normally leaves the digging to Ma....so his head was in the way most of the time. This is the best I could get of the eggs.

5:49 pm - and of course, while I was grabbing s'caps for the last post Trooper was up again....like Jean said...best time is during the COTG to get shots of the eggs. Trooper is way too fast.

5:57 pm - definitely two adults back in this area....one on the pole on the left, and one inside the lower section of the Field Neighbors' tower.....that arrow pointing in from the right seems like a dark spot...not sure if that is anything...could just be a cross bar there but definitely an adult inside the lower part of that tower

And beyond this area, the beautiful snow covered mountains....this s'cap is from the zoomer cam screen...not as bright as the viewer cam screen, and it shows a little more detail of the mountains.

I totally lost her and she must have flown quickly because next thing I knew she was on the nest tree branch

6:35 pm - this is the only view I got of the eggs from the W Cam once Trooper got up because Ma immediately had to check on the eggs and her whole body was in the way
2020-04-06 21_39_09-Greenshot.jpg
And our first view of the eggs from the E Cam was through Trooper's legs
2020-04-06 21_42_55-Greenshot.jpg
Finally got zoomed in....now I'm thinking egg#1 is the one on the right

6:35 pm - here are the eggs as Ma rolled them pretty quickly once she got there....and the one on the right is the one I am trying to focus on because I think that is egg #1. I'm not seeing a thing from this view. Ma was quick to cover them up

6:57 pm - Ma is still on the nest....Trooper was still on the first pole the last I look. Ma was just up within the last few minutes but couldn't get a good shot of the eggs so will not post anything on that. The E Cam has this sunburst thing going on at this time of day and you can't even see the eggs. Didn't have the W Cam on Ma until too late.

I am now off the cams. I have left the E Cam zoomed way in because of the sunburst which is too bright to keep the cam out at a distance.
