5:50 am one of the tower eagles is still on the spike. Don't see the little ones as maybe time for a nap.

5:54 am logging off the cam. Ma and DM have begun their day perched at poles. Soon will be out hunting. Beautiful sunny morning at Delta but still a bit breezy.

7:42 am one of the tower eagles is on the platform. Can see one of the eaglets. Wonder if they are bent over and eating. Is there only one eaglet? I haven't seen two in the while but doesn't mean anything as could have missed seeing the other one.

11:27 am logging off the cam. Didn't see Ma or DM out and about. Probably out soaring and enjoying a beautiful afternoon.
