7:03 am Shadow looking out toward his world. I wonder when the instinct will keep in and when he flies, he will begin his journey into his magnificent eagle world. He moves higher on the nest and looking getting ready to fly.

7:50 am - Found Shadow in the stick tree.....I cheated a little in find Shadow by watching when he left the branch and just saw him landing at the far right of the screen (on the stick tree) before the cam moved. Then once again when the cam went back there at 7:08 am....there he was just perched there but hard to see because of the lighting and everything just looks the same color.
Here is the s'cap from 7:08 am showing where Shadow was

7:57 am Shadow in the stick tree. Thanks, Sue, for checking the rollback. I couldn't have seen him at that point even if he cried out to me. Eyes were done at that point. Appreciate you going back and checking.

Yes, I figured that was the case Sandy.....just need fresh eyes especially with that morning sunshine. Glad he was still there by the time I got on.
