4:12 pm Checked the DVR's back to JudyB's last post, there weren't any visits that I could see. It's raining, cold and miserable out - can't say that I blame them for hunkering down.

Quick check of the dvr back to gemini's post and I didn't see any activity.

Charlie and I have some projects we need to focus on tomorrow, so I may not be online much until mid-afternoon.

Have a good evening, everyone, and a good day tomorrow.

Good morning, everyone, and thanks for starting our day here, nightowl!

5:03 am
Doing a quick cam check, and I see we have one of the adults on the perch near the buildings where they sometimes spend the night. I think both were calling.

And the one that was there flew off at 5:05 am.

No one came into the nest, so I'll leave the cam where it is for now in case one of them returns like they did yesterday. I'll try to check back a little later, but today's going to be a busy day.

Thanks Judy, have a great day

0652 - Have a look at this bright sunshine in Surrey this morning. I can see the dark clouds on their way, but at least it's sunny for now.. unlike the rest of the lower mainland. It's unusually cool in BC for this time of year.

The NF is working on the nest! she brought at least one stick and is very busy now. I have to run out for a fitness class but will return soon and will report then. Please feel free to comment on what you see. This is very exciting!

My class was canceled, fine by me because there is a lot of activity on the nest this morning.

Just watching one of our adults eating something.. I don't know what though. I stared at it for a bit and decided it was probably a mammal - there was some dark hair, so not a wild rabbit - it has really odd-looking skin, so maybe not fresh and it definitely did not look appealing, but I'm not an Eagle either.

The NM cleaned his beak and then quickly grabbed a stick and then let go of it - he moved out to the east perch at 0913

0914 - I heard alerting and snorting, not sure who was doing the vocalizing but the NM quickly flew. I found someone perched near the buildings.

0923 - Our eagle was very watchful and appeared to be tracking someone before flying off.

I said "eagle" because I'm really not sure which one they were. The wind is confusing me. I know it's either the NF or NM :D

Out of sequence - sorry!

Starting at around the 0733 mark, the NF arrived with two nice leafy branches and worked on moving them around for the next several minutes. She even tugged on some existing nest material before returning back to moveable sticks.

out of sequence cont.

0739 - Just as I was zooming in to look at that tail, the NF flew south

0740 - She returned with another stick! way to go NF :rh: she tugged away at a stick at the back of the nest that was already part of the nest haha.

0741 -She decides to move and place the long skinny stick off to the east side of the nest for now, but darn, it wouldn't fit - she tries again :D

She moved it west and then decided it was better placed back over east :D

0743 - She was satisfied with her work and seemed to be done for the time being.
