8:49pm.......I'm seeing no one around tonight. If DM is here he is on one of the poles/towers we cannot see.........BUT..........we haven't seen him all day, not since seeing him very early this morning. It feels deserted out there. :(


I will keep watch just in case..............

9:11pm....Sun has set....fabulous sunset but our cam is not catching much of it.

9:36pm.....Well, our adult has flown to the left. Was not able to follow him. Cam controls are acting up for me and with this angle of the cam it is an impossible task. Although we don't know for sure who that was, it makes sense to have been one of our pair. And we haven't seen Ma since the 25th. More likely was DM. So for now we will think he's still around here. Maybe tomorrow he will come to the nest.

I am now OFF the cam.

10:33pm......Another quick check back of the rollback........that adult did fly towards the nest tree. I missed it the first time around. It did not land on the nest........maybe went up top.

9:29pm.......

No sighting of Ma , she must left on migration...

5:15 am while I was checking the poles, DM lands in the nest and does some digging. One of his feathers on his right wing looks to be frayed a bit.

Linux, DM reminds me of a sentry on duty. And a good one at that! :rh:

5:17 am after moving a stick or two, DM hops up on the long branch. The cam will not adjust up to watch him on the long branch. Yes, he is a handsome fella. Also he looks to have a nice crop.

5:25 am now DM is at the evergreen. And it does look like him with his slimmer body from Ma.

5:35 am now this should be DM at the Delta pole. Hard to get the cam focus on the pole. It has been this way since the cam shifted.
