11:40 am in rollback, after a few minutes of poking in the nest, Trooper flies. Ma is flies. Look like the wind just carried each of them away.

12:19 pm either Ma or Trooper still at the center tower. Didn't see the other mate. Could be tucked in somewhere not so windy.

1:19pm...... :wave: Good afternoon Delta2 friends! Thanks Philippe, Sandy, Sue and Rose for all your posts today! It is a wet, windy day here......leaves blowing all over the place! :rain: :holdon:

I am surprised to see Ma and Trooper visiting the nest so often today......with this weather one would think they'd hunker down someplace.
