7:49 am an eagle is at the church cross, possibly one of the bluff eagles. An eagle is at the first tower. Thought I saw a hint of a white head which would be either Ma or Trooper.

7:54 am now now sure about the eagle at the first tower. Hard to tell with the low lighting. An eagle is at the the pole left of the flag pole. This is definitely an adult eagle and could be Ma or Trooper.

8:00 am in addition to the eagle at the pole left of the flag pole and the first tower, there are eagles at the middle field tree and far right tower. This one would be either Ma or Trooper.

8:05 am now the tower eagles are back on their spikes (they had flown earlier). I think this is Ma at the far right pole with her ruffled feathers. The other eagles are still where they were at the pole left of the flag pole, first tower and middle field tree. Sure one of them is Trooper.

9:08 am - someone on this tower, just left of the flag pole
2021-12-03 12_08_34-Greenshot.jpg
And then further to the left, near the twin poles....looks like an eagle perched here....can't really tell what they are perched on though...maybe some sort of branch sticking out....just seems odd to me

9:15 am - an adult on this tower that is in between our far right tower/pole, and the Tower eagles' left pole. Could be one of them.
2021-12-03 12_14_55-Greenshot.jpg
Here is where that tower is....our adult is on the left (this is our far right pole)....then the other adult in the middle on the tower...and to the right is the Tower eagles' left pole
2021-12-03 12_17_05-Greenshot.jpg
We also have one of the Tower adults on their right pole...they appear to be eating

9:24 am - our adults are still on the port pole and far right pole. We still have someone small on the tower to the left of the flag pole....but now there is also someone on the pole to the left....larger, may be an eagle. I looked a little further to the left, at the twin poles and the large bird that was perched there earlier is no longer there. And now I'm starting to think that was a wire they were perched on.
2021-12-03 12_24_40-Greenshot.jpg
And this is what we call the flag pole (on the left)....the flag is at the arrow....not moving at all right now.

As I was looking around, found quite a few ducks in the South fields....to the left of the Bluff eagle area
