Good morning Sandy........I can't stay and have a few things to take care of but will be back later when I can.

9:56 am I think I see a white head in the nest or it could be just a reflection at the bluff eagles' nest.

9:57 am Oh Trooper, please give us a better look at the eggs Trooper rolls their eggs.

10:17 am Trooper still in the nest and Ma at the center tower. I am leaving the cams zoomed in a bit for a better view of the eggs.
10:19 am logging off both cams.“Eagles: When they walk, they stumble. They are not what one would call graceful. They were not designed to walk. They fly. And when they fly, oh, how they fly, so free, so graceful. They see from the sky what we never see.” – Unknown

11:00 am: Good Afternoon, Everyone! I am going to go through rollback since Sandy's last post.
It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles.

10:43 am: Ma flew past the nest. It took several seconds before she landed.
She landed with a long stick & placed it. When she backed up to place it just right, she got in Trooper's "personal space," so he got up. It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles.

Trooper walks over to the side & leaves.
Ma goes to the eggs, rolls them, then fluffs the side of the nest bowl, as she usually does. It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles.

Then settles down.
10:37 am: She changes position.
11:04 am: She rolls the eggs & settles back down, moving grasses around near her every so often. . It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles.

Strange behavior, they must be either bored or stressed out---- the farmer below is making clanking noises --working on machinery

11:21 am: Trooper is on Center Pole.
11:23 am: Checked in on our Neighbors' Tower eagles. One is brooding on the nest & the other looks like is eating on the pole to the right of the nest. 11:26 am: After checking around the area, I went back to check on Trooper, but he was no longer on Center Pole.
11:27 am: I believe that is Trooper on Flag Pole. I didn't see any other eagles anywhere, including Bluff Eagles & no eagles at the Eagle Tree by the Bay.

11:30 am: Crop Drop by Ma.
A few seconds later, she seems to see something that has her attention for several seconds. But no alerting occurred.
She then is up to roll the eggs. It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles.

11:46 am: All remains as last reported. Ma is brooding the eggs, Trooper on Flag Pole, & the Neighbor Tower Eagles are at home on nest & nearby pole. I do not see any other eagles in the area. All is quiet. I am going to log off the cams now. If you see any activity on the nest, please log it here. Thank you!
