10:37 am in rollback, Trooper is now back with a stick. Looks like both Ma and Trooper may have visited the stick tree. He places it and watches.

2:29pm..... Good afternoon Delta2 friends! Thank you Philippe, Sandy, Sue and LutzG for all your posts today! That bomb cyclone, horrid weather system is finally past us but it is still very windy and wet today.
It seems like forever since we've had dry days here.....but this looks promising:
IN on both cams.

2:35pm.....Thanks for keeping the rollback up to date Sue! Since you last post we have seen Trooper come to the nest with a clump of grass. He stayed a few minutes then flew off at about 2:10pm.

2:45pm.....There are so many smears on the cam covers due to the rain that it is nearly impossible to see anything in the distance.
Ma and Trooper are both near the nest. Still perched on the first pole and in the stick tree.
Doesn't look like they are going anywhere.
I am now OFF both cams.
