12:01 pm one of the tower adults is on a spike. Can just see a little bump which could be a sleeping eaglet (?) The cam is swaying and hard to get a good clear look.

12:11 pm more vocals in the last four minutes. Someone must be close and possibly flying by. Ma and DM are hanging out at the nest to defend their nest.

12:39pm......Good afternoon Delta2 friends! Thanks Sandy for your posts..........glad you were able to catch our pair at the nest today. It seems that our warm, calm weather of the past few days is bringing Ma and DM closer to our view.

It is a warm day here...........so nice to have as it has been below normal temperatures until now. And its a long weekend too so many people are out and about.

1:04 pm in rollback, DM has a wonky feather sticking out. He turns and flies. Ma follows as she flew off to follow him.

3:40pm.......Where are the adults? Off having fun but surely keeping an eye on things at their nests. Seeing one tower eaglet at home, that's all.

3:43pm....There's just nothing else to see. Ma and DM could be up top. They spend a lot of time there I think.

I am now OFF the E cam.
