1:08pm........ :wave: Good afternoon Delta2 friends! Thanks Philippe, Sandy and Sue for your post so far today! It is indeed a windy day........our coastal areas are bracing for strong winds over the next few days..............hopefully it won't be too bad here in the Lower Mainland.

2:14pm....Just happening to catch someone fluttering around here in the stick tree. Cannot see them at all now. It could be the mate or the one that was on the first tower a moment ago.

2:37pm..Don't think he likes this wind. It is brutal. He's standing low in the nest, just trying to keep his balance. :holdon: :holdon: :holdon:

It is way, way too windy to keep a cam looking out there. Everything is bouncing!

Stay safe Ma and Trooper..........you can do this!

I am now OFF both cams.

4:39 pm - I am logging into the cams for a short bit.....no activity since Sandy's last post.

5:10 pm - I looked around a couple times and did not find any eagles anywhere. Tried to focus in on the Old Nest tree toward the end since I could not find anyone on the stick tree or evergreen tree. That Old Nest tree has a huge trunk and appears very sturdy....lots of places to tuck in there, but I did not see anyone there either. I'm sure they have their special place to stay safe out of the strong winds. Maybe someday we will find that place :)

I am now off the cams. Everyone have a great night!
