Surrey Reserve 2019-2020 Observation and Discussion

[JudyB]

Thanks, gemini, Bill, Marg and all!

5:15 pm
Opened the computer to see someone on the nest - likely Mom Res, because of the cowlick, but not sure.

And a minute later the other adult arrived (on the left).

Happy to see them stopping by!


One flew off at 5:18 (I think Res, though I lost track of them moving around). This is the one remaining, and the neckline looks to me like Sur.

The other adult left at 5:21 pm.

Good morning all.
Thanks all for the reports and for the video BillA. Good to see them both there.

[JudyB]

Good morning, everyone, and thanks for all the posts - and the video!

11:07 am
I just looked back on the dvr, and didn't see any visits so far today.

11:17 am
Someone just arrived!

From the neckline, I'm thinking it's Sur.

And North cam went into to a major pixelation immediately after my s'cap of the arrival (South was slightly ahead of North, so I knew someone would be landing) - I'm going to log in and do a reboot.

And the adult flew off immediately after the direct link to the cam opened, so no s'cap, but I did see a dark spot on the upper tail, which is another indication it was Sur.

Now for the reboot.

11:38 am Definitely Sur, Judy! I just managed to get a scap of his tail from the video I was running when he arrived. Then everything became pixelated.

2:45 pm No new visits that I could see.

[JudyB]

Thanks for catching that, gemini!

3:55 pm
Rebooting North again.


I didn't see any visits since you posted, though I had my viewing window covered for some of the time.

10:20 am Checked DVR and no visits so far today.

The nest is looking good - quite cozy!

Good morning, everyone!

11:07 am
I just arrived at the computer - and found someone on the nest!

I think this is Res, though it's not as easy to tell since she lost the feathers that were showing light stripes (that may have been a sign that they were older feathers that would be molted soon, though that's just a guess on my part).


11:14 am
She(?) flew off towards the cam so not easy for me to see her upper tail.


Looking back, she arrived at 11:04 am, and I saw more of her eyes on the dvr, which also looked like Res, and I saw a glimpse of the cowlick a couple of times.

I'm hearing a lot of sounds in the background - maybe migrating geese? Res seemed aware of them - maybe making sure they knew this nest was taken, since we have seen geese try to take over eagle nests.
