Delta2 2021-2022 Observation and Discussion Thread

[RoseA]

5:02pm Ma and Trooper still in their same spots.

They came for a nest visit and tucked in even before sunset (technically) tonight... I assume because of very poor visibility.

5:10pm logging off the cams.
It's a pea-souper out there tonight.

Thanks Rose! It’s amazing that you could see them at all through this fog!

7:33 am - Good Morning Delta 2! I just reported that the W Embedded cam is offline. I will be logging into the zoomer cams to be sure they are both okay then will stay on for a bit until Ma & Trooper start their day.

7:37 am - very foggy out this morning in Delta.

[SueB]

7:40 am - Ma & Trooper are together in the Stick tree. Hopefully with the fog, maybe Ma & Trooper will come and stay on the nest for a bit.

7:44 am - some vocals by our pair....maybe discussing the weather

[SueB]

7:57 am - one of our adults flies off the stick tree followed immediately by their mate

I think it is Trooper that lands first

[SueB]

7:57 am - Ma lands seconds later

Close up of Trooper

Both seem to have found some nestover bits

[SueB]

8:01 am - Trooper heads up onto the branch

Watching Ma below on the nest

Ma joins Trooper on the nest...cleaning her beak off

[SueB]

8:02 am - I believe Trooper wanted to mate.....Ma said "No"

[SueB]

8:03 am - such a cute pair! Trooper on the right, Ma on the left

Ma moves up to the higher branch

[SueB]

8:14 am - hard to get clear close ups as I think there is some condensation on the cam cover....here is Trooper

And Ma

[SueB]

8:19 am - we cannot see the poles & towers looking out to the north or west

We can see the evergreen trees looking out to the east though
