9:18 am logging into both cams for a look see. I am going to work on the east presets for zoomer cams again.

10:01 am logging off both cams.

11:01 am logging into both cams and will work on the west cam presets for the zoomer cams. 11:38 am logging off both cams. Didn't see any birds other than some small ones flying in a flock.

2:49 pm looks like a large bird (eagle ?) is perched on a distant tower the left of the far right tower.

3:56pm...... :wave: Good afternoon Philippe, Judy Benson, Sandy and all Delta2 friends! Interesting Sandy, that could be an eagle you might have seen...........and I think there was one the other day on that tower to the right of the Tower nest. It seems some might be coming back home. :dunno:

IN on both cams............quick look.

4:22pm...........Bird flying from R to L past the first tower.......could be a hawk as it seemed to be a bit fast.

Mystery here.........could this be an adult at the left with the bluff nest at the right? Might just be an illusion. Click to enlarge.

4:24pm......Another mystery. Yesterday there might have been someone perched inside this tower to the right of the big tower...........now I can see that same dark spot there. But a moment ago when I looked with the other cam there did not seem to be anyone there. :chin: Click to enlarge.

Now.....WEST cam.

Now........EAST cam.

A few minutes ago........WEST cam......cannot see anyone there. Makes me think an adult is there now.

4:31pm......Hawk on the lower part of the far right tower.

Rechecking that tower to the right.........pretty sure someone is there. This is close to the big tower so might be one of that pair..........back home now and waiting for its mate to show up.

4:35pm......Unfortunately I cannot wait for that eagle to fly so we won't know for sure, but I'm thinking yes, it is there.

Other than what was posted already there are sounds of nearby birds and small birds flitting about, but no other eagles to be seen.


I am now OFF both cams.

The tower that was being looked at yesterday... I don't think it's an eagle in the spot that was pointed out... if so it hasn't moved an inch since then which seems highly unlikely if it was something other than part of the tower.
