Ma & Trooper have made the nest look so pretty...even adding some of those yellow leaves from the stick tree.

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

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

2021-10-21 12_58_01-Greenshot.jpg
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

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
2021-10-21 13_01_02-Greenshot.jpg
10:15 am - the adult is still in the first tower, leaning into the wind

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.
