9:42 I just took a look around on the south cam and the only eagle I saw was the adult on the lone tree.

Good morning Bev, Heather, Darlene, Yolande, Gail and all.
Still windy at the empty nest.

I am out and off the NPTZ Cam .. I will leave it on the eagle on the lone tree.. please move it if you want too..

[Darlene]

11:13 I took a quick look around on the south cam and there was no sight or sound of eagles except the adult in the lone tree. I am off the south cam now.

Just checked in and the adult eagle is still perched on the lone tree at 1:57 cst

Eagle is leaving

Eagle was on the lone tree from 7:24am--12:06pm.

[Yolande]

Hi everyone - great to see that eagle. Thanks for the updates everyone ....and zooms, Bev and Darlene!

Will take a look around on the NPTZ for a while...

[Yolande]

I took a good look around on the NPTZ - the flats out past Mom's perch by the river are interesting - there is a fair amount of water. Wonder if there are any fish carcasses still around? I didn't spot an eagle, though - there or anywhere lol!

No eagles in the lone tree or on the flats beyond [that I can see...]

[Heather L]

Thanks Bev for noting the time the eagle was on lone tree. I was watching and wondering how long they would stay and then I got busy and see they left . Thank you for the s/caps everyone. 12:58 pm Mar 3

[IrishEyes]

You are welcome Heather and thanks Yolande for the zoom..... I am wondering with so much water on the river if Mom and her mate are over the other side of the river... where they can have some salmon .. just a thought

[gmorris]

1:06pm - Hi Everyone. Thanks for the zooms and obs and finding that eagle on the lone tree. Guess that is the only one around?
I will take a short zoom on the SPTZ since no on seems to be coming to the nest! Hi Yolande...see you are on the NPTZ.

[Yolande]

Hi again - sorry, I was distracted by some paperwork! LOL

I see you're on the SPTZ, Gail - I'll just leave the NPTZ on the lone tree for a bit - maybe something will fly by!

[gmorris]

1:15pm - I see a possible eagle on the tall trees by the river. The picture is hard to see but I do believe it is an adult and there may be another adult to the upper left of this one but I can't quite be sure.

Can you get a view of it form your cam, Yolande?

Now I wonder if another eagle is just to the right of the first eagle who is still there.
This is a stretch but with full screen I think I may see one there. Wish I could zoom closer!

Hi Gail - I can't really get a good scap of the river view on the NPTZ...here's the best I can do, but I don't it's nearly as clear as yours. I wonder if that is an eagle? That would be two today - but also could be the same one twice.

ADD: 1:39pm I'm going to go and try to come back later [have a lot of stuff on my desk to deal with LOL] I'll put the NPTZ back on the nest for now - Good Luck, Gail!

Hi Yolande,
Yes I see that you do not have the same sharpness on the NPTZ. I do think there is the one eagle but, as you said, this may be a repeat of the same eagle....guess we are just desperate to see some action at this point, LOL!

[IrishEyes]

Peeking in here again.....thanks Gail for zooming... I am very hopeful for this nest...i think good things are yet to come..

[gmorris]

1:49pm- A speed boat zooms by on the river.

[gmorris]

Peeking in here again.....thanks Gail for zooming... I am very hopeful for this nest...i think good things are yet to come..

Hi Bev. Yes, I am sure you are right and, after all, there is still plenty of time for Mom to get into "nesting mode".

Thanks Gail , I hope so ...and I agree.

[gmorris]

2:01pm - I am going to sign off now and get some things done around here. I will try to BBL. Thanks to all for the zooms and scaps and observations.

[IrishEyes]

Congratulations going out to Ma and Pa Delta 2 on their first egg of the season and the first at one of our local eagle web cams. We knew it would be soon as they were bringing in lots of soft nesting material for the cup of the bowl.

Talons crossed for Mrs. Honeycomb and her new mate.

Thanks for letting us know Karen... Happy for Mom and Dad Delta!

[Yolande]

What great news from Delta! Thanks for letting us know, Karen!

And Congratulations, Delta - off to a wonderful start!

Will take a peek around on the SPTZ ....

[Yolande]

Nothing to report! I have had a good look all around and not seen or heard anything...the usual perches are empty...

But, it sure is a beautiful night in Harrison Mills!

[Yolande]

Here's Gail's log [LOL] with another stranded on the sandbar behind it.

and the lone tree a few minutes ago...

ADD: 6:15pm All quiet here!
