8:53 am - found someone on the flag pole....assuming this is our eagle that just left the port pole. I had checked here earlier and no one was here

Hmmm, look here....someone hiding in the evergreen tree....I wonder if they were here when I first checked. I thought I saw a blob there, decided to go in a little closer and eventually they did show their beak....it's really windy out so hard to distinguish the tree branches and if there is someone hiding there.

8:55 am - as I was finding our eagle on the evergreen, our eagle on the flag pole flew off to the left and is back on the Port pole

9:01 am - here they are flying across the field in front of the center tower
2019-12-04 12_02_39-Greenshot.jpg
They flew around the nest tree and over above the evergreens where their mate was
2019-12-04 12_02_48-Greenshot_LI_Moment.jpg
Their mate flew off the evergreen and headed downward.....both appeared to fly out beyond the trees and I lost them

2019-12-04 12_15_55-Greenshot_LI_Moment.jpg
9:25 am - they flew off about 10 minutes later and headed toward the right poles
2019-12-04 12_36_03-Greenshot_LI_Moment.jpg
Checked the far right tower/pole and no one was there, but we did have someone on the right of center pole

9:45 am - I believe this is Trooper on the nest? Seeing that white spot on the back
2019-12-04 12_45_28-Greenshot.jpg
And I think this is his front collar
2019-12-04 12_46_00-Greenshot.jpg
He flew up into the tree and then off...headed to the evergreen tree

9:48 am - saw someone flying around behind the evergreens just before Trooper flew off....he flew toward the nest tree but didn't come there....so figured he was heading out to the poles

9:57 am - our someone is still at the flag pole....and as a matter of fact I think it may be two someones. Hard to see with the wind blowing the cam around but here's a few s'caps where I think we can see two white heads. And the blob of eagle up there seems bigger than just one to me.

10:33 am: Good Morning/Afternoon everyone! I just checked rollback, since Sue last posted. There was no activity on the nest. I am going to log into the cams now.
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.

10:39 am: While looking around the area, I think I see an eagle near the nest near the Bluff Eagles' nest.
2019-12-04_LI.jpg
10:41: Our eagles are on the tower & pole to the left of the flag pole.

I did not see any other eagles anywhere else, but it was hard to see details in the Eagle Tree by the Bay, since it is so windy out, so the cam looks like it is moving more with distant shots.

10:49 am: Our eagles are still in their same places. I am going to jump off the cams now to get things done, since no activity is occurring. If you see any activity on the nest, please log it here.

Taking a look at rollback, looks like Ma and Trooper spent some time in the nest this afternoon. I will try to get s'caps of their visits. Thanks for the heads up, Rose on their visit.
11:08 pm in rollback, both Ma and Trooper drop into the nest almost at the same time. They begin to dig around the nest.

11:10 am in rollback, both Trooper and Ma have an issue with the wind with their feathers. Both are working in the nest.
