2:33pm......Well, there is no sign of our eagles. If Ma and Trooper are in the stick tree........and they very well could be..........we cannot see them. Leaves are twinkling like lights.


I am now OFF both cams.

Good evening Delta,

Our season 2020-2021 has came to and end and what a Blessed season we have had with Ma n Trooper raising two beautiful eaglets, Hope and Chase..Going to surely miss their antics on the nest and watching them grow from wee white balls of fur to magnificent juvies..Ma and Trooper you should be proud once again on your rearing and fledging of your young. So much we learn from watching into your world.

Thank you to all who post here on this forum throughout our season and covering each and every milestone in our delta family's world . From the comments, the coverage, the scraps, I salute to your volunteer time and energy you have provided our forum with as for I daily check in to see what i have missed while i was away from watching. Thank you David Hancock for your love of our Magnificent Eagles to give us this treasure to view into Ma n Troopers world !

Hope and Chase are strong juvies, Ma and Trooper have raised and taught them well to survive out into the vast open skys that awaits their next journey into their world.
Fly high and soar the wide open skys Hope and Chase, maybe one day we will see you again visiting the homestead ,I wish your crops are always full, you stay strong and healthy, to be safe out in this big open world of ours and enjoy the beautiful sunrise and sunsets each day.

Ma and Trooper will soon be heading to the salmon run, a very deserved vacation .
Before you know it we will be watching and waiting for them to return to us in the fall from migration. I know i will be counting the days and watching their empty nest waiting for their return. Be safe Ma and Trooper on your travels to and from migration..your delta family will be awaiting your return. :rh:

Until next season, Be safe everyone..

6:46 pm - this bird just flew into the stick tree as the cam got there...thinking that no eagles are there but will check now. Looked around at the pole, towers and trees that our pair normally frequent and did not see them there.

7:08 pm - Flickers always seem to be around at the beginning of the season and at the end of the season....somehow they just know when it's their turn to be here.....we have several nearby and on the nest tree....here is one on a tree to the right of the evergreen tree where Ma & Trooper normally perch

I checked back on my s'cap from earlier (before 7 pm) and thought there wasn't someone there but now looking back at that s'cap...hmmm, there actually could have been two in there....not positive though...was thinking those spots could have been shadows, but now not sure.
