1:22 pm
I came back from my walk to find an eagle eating on the nest.

Checking the dvr....

Both adults arrived on the nest at 1:02 pm; first one had a stick, and the second arrived a few seconds later.

1:07 pm
Both working on the nest, with a little looking around.

[JudyB]

Continuing from dvr....

The one from the lower left flew off around 1:10 pm; the other one was out of sight at the top of the nest and appeared to be eating - I didn't notice food arriving, so it might be a leftover.

When I arrived, I moved the cam - definitely looks as if the adult is eating (and I suspect it's Dimple) - but no idea what's on the menu.

1:33 pm
I took a quick look at the BSB and didn't see anyone there.


1:46 pm
Adult has changed position and is still eating - no clue what the food is, but there seems to be quite a bit of it for her(?) to be working in it so long.

[JudyB]

1:52 pm
Dimple (?) has finished and moved up to the BSB to clean her beak.

[JudyB]

1:57 pm
Back to the nest - and here's Duffer to help!

Still seeing a bit of a reddish stain on what I think is Duffer's tail feathers.

[JudyB]

2:06 pm
One out on a branch while the other continues to work on the nest.

Then both working.

[JudyB]

2:11 pm
One flies off.

Remaining eagles continues to look around.

I quickly checked the perches and didn't see the eagle who left.


2:33 pm
Adult is still in the same position, mostly looking around.

I have logged out of the cam, and will return it to the usual view of the nest once I've noticed that the adult has moved out of view.

Away from the computer for a few minutes.


2:49 pm
Back to computer to find that adult left the nest at about 2:36 pm.

Logged in and found an adult on the babysitting branch at 2:49 pm.

[JudyB]

3:13 pm
Adult is still on the BSB, looking around. Sounds quite windy.

3:22 pm
A bit of preening.

[JudyB]

4:30 pm
Dimple (?) is still on the babysitting branch (BSB); it's time for me to have dinner, so I'm going to leave the cam on her, and stick my iPad in the corner of the table so I can see if she flies off and come back to move the cam.

Bev asked me to let folks know that she's feeling a bit under the weather and will be mostly resting for the next couple of days to see if that helps. I'm sure she'd appreciate good thoughts being sent her way.


Added the next day -
I think Dimple left around 5 pm, and I did move the cam back, but forgot to post that I'd done that.
