10:29 pm checking the cams and see the time is showing 9:00 am. Not sure if the time is just off but reporting.

10:31 pm logging into both cams. Will work on the presets for the zoomers.

3:38pm.......Good afternoon Delta2 friends! :wave: Thanks Sandy for working on those presets! Will have a look around now.




FYI.........These dates of our adults returning last year are taken from page 1 of this forum. A reference for when we can expect our adults to return.

Eagles return:
Oct. 3, 2020.......Adult seen on poles and in stick tree.....thought to be be Trooper, not confirmed.
Oct. 10, 2020..........Trooper confirmed on the nest.
Oct. 12, 2020............2 adults on poles, towers and sleeping in stick tree. Trooper confirmed again and assumed it was Ma with him (confirmed the next day, Oct. 13th).


IN on both cams.

No eagles to be seen anywhere.

3:48pm.......I am OFF both cams.

1:19pm......This is likely nothing but thought I would post it in case it is. This tower is to the right of the Big Tower out in the field. Could there be someone perched inside the framework?

From the W cam:

Better look from the E cam........this does look like it could be an adult eagle.

1:33pm........There seems to be a shower moving through right now. There is nothing else significant to be seen around the area.

The W embedded cam remains offline. A report has been made.

I am now OFF both cams.

2:54 pm logging into the cams to see if it is breezy as might work on the presents. The west embedded cam is still frozen but has been reported.
