7:51pm.....Had a good look at the bay.....the wind has finally died down...........no sign of any eagles there. The tide is back in now.

Thought this adult had flown while I looked away...but I think it is still there, just moved back farther in the tower.

It is very, very quiet. No sound of any birds at all.

8:17pm......With no wind to move the branches aside we cannot see if anyone is on the distant evergreen..........don't know where our adult flew off to.

8:26pm.....This spot is between the dock pole and the center tower......looks like it could be 2 birds standing in the field. Not sure though.

9:00pm.........There has been no sighting of Shadow at all tonight. Ma and Trooper are spending the night in the middle tower............so good to see them together without distractions.

Our last confirmed sighting of Shadow today was at 10:11am as he flew off Ma's perch.

Can't see anyone in the stick tree tonight. Sleep well wherever you are Shadow.

5:53 am in rollback, just a quick narrative of a morning visit by Ma and Trooper. Ma and Trooper came into the nest and dropped off some leafy branches. They both pick around the nest. Ma went to her perch after a couple of minutes then flew followed by Trooper off toward the evergreens. Didn't hear Shadow nor did he follow them to the nest. I can't get on the cams right now.
