6:45 am logging into both cams for a quick look see.
6:57 am logging off both cams. Didn't see any birds and of course, we are about three weeks to a month away to seeing Ma and Trooper if history holds up.

Good evening everyone,
Just waiting like everyone else, counting the days till we see Ma and Trooper return from migration. Watching our empty nest, no wannabe nest takers as of yet, all twigs and dry grass are stil in same place when Trooper left after his final check in. Maybe a few
branches have fallen but all is good..
? Checking on forum for cam cleaning and nest cleaning but have not seen anything as of yet. Just wondering if we will be getting that done this season. Days are ticking for Ma n Trooper to return, in about 3 weeks if they stay on course like last few years, and Trooper is usually the first one to check in at home before Ma makes her debut..
Hope everyone is enjoying the ending of the summer days and soon heading into fall season. Hope and pray all your family's are safe and well during these turbulent times in our world.. Look out for one another..
Keeping watch for our lovely eagle parents to return!

1:54 pm - Good Afternoon Delta 2! I am going to log into the cams for a look around.
2:07 pm - we have someone on the first tower....maybe a little smaller than an eagle....could be a hawk 2:20 pm - the hawk(?) on the first tower is the only large bird I am seeing around the area. I am now logged off the cams.
Everyone have a great day!

Thanks, Sandy - Ken apparently caught that before I saw the message - the cams are streaming again now.

2021 Cam Maintenance Fund Drive
Countdown to Cleaning
Delta 2
Countdown to Cleaning
Delta 2
It's almost time to clean the cams! I've just learned that the work will need to be completed by September 15 - so the next week or so will be very busy!
First - a big Thank You to those who have donated! We've raised over $6000 towards the work we'd like to do at our five nests with cams, and we already have three pre-adoptions for Delta 2!
Pre-Adoptions for the 2022 Nesting Season –
September 2021 – August 2022

At least 25 people have already donated to our annual maintenance drive, and I've heard from a few more who are planning to donate soon - which is wonderful! Thank you!
We need another $4000 to reach our goal for this drive - so if you've been thinking of donating, this would be a good time to do that.
I'm not going to list everything we want to get done at all five nests with cams - but the list for Delta includes:
- cleaning the cams (and the infrared light that provides night vision and also gets dusty)
- removing some of the little sprouts that interfere with our view of the nest - they will grow back, but cutting them back once a year keeps them from getting too big and
- seeing if any additional supports are needed for this older tree
We are a mostly volunteer organization - and I know many of you donate many hours watching the eagles, posting screenshots and videos and detailed observations, and helping with the other tasks that keep us going. We could not begin to do this without you - and on behalf of Hancock Wildlife Foundation, I thank you all for all that you do!
That said, we will need a lift to clean the cams at Delta 2 - and we have monthly expenses for the forum and website that host all this information and the internet service that lets us view the cams - so if you can make a donation now, it would be greatly appreciated.
Hope and Chase say it better than I can - please click on their button below to donate.
