From last night.
Sorry all, I had a full day kayaking on the river yesterday and hit the hay hard.
2055: I can tell you that the SF? did not stay the night on the high perch. Here is the last look just before she flew... over to the nest!
She picked up 1 stick and moved it, then another and pushed it
ADDED: I'm saying "she" but I am not at all confident now that I see the Eagle in the nest, and looking back at the eye in the first scap. perhaps Judy or gemini? when you get a chance, take a look. I'd love to catch them on the nest in the daytime

rollback cont.
2058 - Scratching an itch
2059 - Like they were startled by something, they jumped and hopped over to the left (their right)
then they hopped off the nest and by the sounds of it, possibly over to one of the western perches. Not sure what had them all hoppy
end of the rollback from last night.

Good morning SR friends and hello Nightowl! thanks for starting our day. The heat is back and it will be here for the next several days. Hopefully, it won't get as hot as it had been during the first heat wave.

0500 - One of our Eagles arrived from the north and did a couple of wing stretches when they landed.
0501 - Another wing stretch - Is this the SM?

Re: Surrey Reserve 2021-2022 Observation and Discussion
05:01:43 - More stretching of that same wing
05:02:19 - More stretching. Something looks funny.
05:02:26 - Moving a stick while clearly bothered by that wing (our left, their right)
05:02:39 - Trying to work something out of that wing

Re: Surrey Reserve 2021-2022 Observation and Discussion
05:02:53 - More wing stretching - sorry if it's repetitive but it might be important to keep an eye on it
Scratching an itch and allowing us to see some of that tail
0506 - Staring down at the nest with periodic movement of that same wing - they seem bright active and alert

0507 - Now they are pecking at the nest bugs it seems
0516 - Still captivated by movement in the nest.. it's gotta be bugs right?
less wing movement now
0518 - Jets out the wing a bit

0525 - A quick glance up
0528 - Our Eagle walked over to the western edge and went out of view. He did not return to the nest after that.
I'm leaving the South Cam on the nighttime perch as that has been also been a daytime perch a lot lately. I have to go back out on the Fraser River today because I left my phone out there by one of my Eagles' nests. If by chance anyone is watching when one of our Eagles is on the nest, please try and zoom in with the South Cam so we can get a more accurate ID. I'm leaning more towards this being the SM after seeing him on the north cam this morning. But ???
I'll be back late this afternoon, or early evening.

There's an adult on the night perch - I've zoomed closer and logged out again. So far haven't seen much more than leaves and the back of the head.
Thanks for your posts, CC - watching the activity you described starting here - viewtopic.php?f=114&p=602889&sid=8d61f7 ... 3c#p602881 - it does look a bit odd with those wing stretches and rubs. I'm making a video of part of it.
My initial guess is that this is SF, mostly based on the mottled feathers.
Got 5:00:25 - 5:08:05 (not processed yet #1795).
Need to take a break - will look at the next batch soon.

I think it's SF in the cottonwood tree - I'd expect more dark around the eye if it was SM, and the beak looks more female to me, though I'm not good at judging that.

Re: Surrey Reserve 2021-2022 Observation and Discussion
Sorry for jumping around a bit - going back to the early morning visit....
Off topic, but I'll connect it in a minute - I took a bit of a tumble recently and apparently bruised some of the muscles around my bottom. No serious damage, but it's uncomfortable and I fidget whenever I have to stand or sit for more than a few minutes - and I sometimes end up in positions that look pretty uncomfortable, but actually feel good (at least briefly).
It may be because of how I'm feeling - but that's what this reminds me of.
The adult does seem to be picking at things in the nest in this video.
5:09:00 - 5:16:30 #1797
I will note that if this is the same eagle who is now on the night perch, she's looking fine and acting normal, so maybe she just slept wrong or something.

The adult is still perched in the cottonwood.
Continuing from the dvr....
5:25:00 - 5:28:20
The adult was still occasionally stretching a wing, but generally seemed more alert and looking around. She(?) appeared to duck once or twice, so there may have been bugs flying around.
Off to upload the videos, then I'll add the links.
