Good morning, Linux. It is wonderful to see Ma and Trooper together as they begin their day.

7:56 am both Ma and Trooper flew at the same time from the far right pole. There is an adult at the middle field tree who could be either Ma or Trooper.

8:03 am the juvie or possibly a sub adult flew across the field. I lost them at the tree limb. Of course not sure but would like to think it could be one of Ma and Trooper's offspring.

8:12 am thinking Ma or Trooper are at the middle field tree. There is an eagle perched in that distant tree.

8:16 am there is a pair of eagles at the pole left of the flag pole. Not sure who this pair is and would not really know unless we could follow them. If Ma and Trooper were to fly to the nest, we could verify they use this pole. But that is probably for another day.

8:17 am and there is this adult at the middle field tree who could be Ma or Trooper.

8:26 am logging off both cams. The two eagles at that left flag pole and the eagle at the middle field tree were still there. Not sure who they are but nice to see them.

9:26 am a video of the young eagle's visit to the stick tree:

:vid: A young eagle's visit

A young eagle of maybe three years old is seen at the stick tree at Delta. Could this youngster be one of Ma and Trooper's and remember visits to the stick tree or one just passing through? We will not know but nice to think it could be. The young eagle flew from the tree across the field toward the west to parts unknown to us.

And two large birds on the distant tower to the left....I wonder if this could be the Tower eagles as I have not seen them in their area

9:51 am - I'm not sure if this is an adult or not on the corner of this roof.....thought I saw a white head but the lighting is bad looking out this way....this is looking toward the south, beyond the area where we normally see ducks on the ground, to the left of the Bluff eagle nest.
