7:54 am the IR is off and can see Ma and Trooper much better at the Delta pole.

7:57 am Ma and Trooper are vocalizing and changing position on the Delta pole. Something has their attention.

8:04 am looks like Ma is on the left and Trooper on the right at the Delta pole.
8:08 am logging off both cams. Ma and Trooper are still at the Delta pole. Will check back later.“Eagles: When they walk, they stumble. They are not what one would call graceful.

9:16 am - Good Morning Delta 2! I am going to log into the cams.
8:54 am - from the rollback - Trooper came from way across the field with a nice bunch of grasses for the nest Checking around to see what he can straighten up

8:59 am - from the rollback - Trooper moved a couple evergreen branches around before flying off toward the evergreens
Ma & Trooper have made the nest look so pretty...even adding some of those yellow leaves from the stick tree.

9:25 am - found one of our adults out on the first pole....they flew off a minute later as I was doing something and I wasn't able to follow them
A few minutes later though one of them flew by the W Cam
Re: Delta2 2021-2022 Observation and Discussion Thread
9:29 am - Trooper came to the nest
Ma came in seconds later with a huge evergreen branch
Re: Delta2 2021-2022 Observation and Discussion Thread
9:30 am - Ma tries out the nest bowl....
Re: Delta2 2021-2022 Observation and Discussion Thread
9:35 am - our pair stood around for a bit....just being very watchful....Ma on the right, Trooper on the left
Tried to get a good close up of Ma's left eye to see if we could see the spots there but the cam was shaking too much to get a clear shot
Re: Delta2 2021-2022 Observation and Discussion Thread
9:38 am - Ma flew off to the evergreen tree followed by Trooper....Ma landed up on the top right, Trooper down in the middle....he wants to get another branch for the nest
Here's Trooper...searching for just the right branch
Re: Delta2 2021-2022 Observation and Discussion Thread
9:40 am - Trooper got his branch and brought it back to the nest
Re: Delta2 2021-2022 Observation and Discussion Thread
9:48 am - Trooper looking around from the nest, then flew off....looked like he was heading toward the evergreen tree but I didn't see him land there
A minute later Ma flew off the evergreen and appeared to slowly float to the right......I keep hearing some sounds at the nest tree...could just be the wind but wondering if maybe she landed up top, out of cam view
Re: Delta2 2021-2022 Observation and Discussion Thread
9:52 am - I assume this is one of our adults inside the first tower.....guessing this is Trooper, due to how slender they look, but I could be wrong
10:15 am - the adult is still in the first tower, leaning into the windRe: Delta2 2021-2022 Observation and Discussion Thread
10:23 am - I am still only able to find one of our adults...inside the first tower. I looked around and did not see any other eagles....all must be tucked in somewhere as the wind gusts are really strong.
I am now off the cams. Everyone have a great day!
