Still very windy.

I checked the dvr for the north cam back to Bev's post and didn't see any visits to the nest.

I also did a spot check of the south cam dvr and, not surprisingly, did not see anyone on the distant perch.

I forgot to mention that I took a quick peek at the night perch area CC found around 7:10 am, and did not see anyone there either.

I just checked the dvr and didn't see any eagles - glad to know they're not out flying around in this.

Have a good night, everyone, and stay safe.

Thanks for posting the weather, Bev!

I'm going to take a quick check of the night perches with the South cam.


I didn't see anyone in the branches near the buildings or in the upper branches of the nest tree (though I can't see the very top).

I'm back out of the cam. Nice to see things a bit calmer this morning!

Just did a quick check of the dvr, and Sur and Res both visited the nest this morning. :love:

This may be Res arriving with a stick at 9:14 pm; not seeing the feather on the head, but it looks like her eyes.

She flew off around 9:20 and was back with another stick at 9:22 am.

Checking the nest at 9:26 am.

Continuing....

Sur (on left) in with a stick at 9:27, and Res up immediately to help him place it.
20211026_004.jpg

Sur is on the right here - see how the tail feather on the far right is slightly shorter? It's not always obvious, but is one of the cues I use for telling them apart.
20211026_005.jpg

Res left shortly after that, while Sur stayed for some S&L (standing and looking); not seeing his tail here, but you can see his eye.
20211026_006.jpg

He flew off at 9:33 am.


It's now 10:38 am, and the nest is empty.

I'm happy to see them both - I know they are very good at staying safe in bad weather, but I do worry when it's as windy as it has been lately.

Sur and Res have been here about 10 minutes so far working on the nest.

I looked back, and one of them was still there around 12:18 pm.


Continuing from the dvr, Res arrived shortly before 1:38 pm.

Sur was in shortly afterwards.
20211026_016.jpg

I'm not going to try to document the comings and goings, but one or both were there on and off until slightly after 2:35 pm; this is Sur.
20211026_017.jpg

It's now 5:26 pm, and I didn't see any activity after he left a minute or two after the previous s'cap.


And an extra s'cap - it's so lovely to see blue sky here!

Res is back yet again with another stick - I suspect there may be lots of sticks lying around after all that wind - but also have a feeling that she and Sur like getting their own, fresh from a tree.

She is lovely.

And she left a moment later.

After Res left at 5: 48 pm, she returned with another stick, placed it. and left again at 5:53 pm.

5:50 pm Res returns with another stick

5:50 pm Placing her stick
2021-10-26 5-50-15 pm.jpg


5:53 pm Off she goes again - this time for the evening
2021-10-26 5-53 pm.jpg

5:54 pm and she's back yet again with another stick. Some more stick moving mixed with some S&L and nest inspecting and she's off again at 5:59 pm - this time for the night!

But then who should drop in 20 minutes later for one last look around - Sur (stray white feather that he is sporting on his back today and short tail feather on right side) - coming to inspect the days work! He of course does what he does best -stands and looks all around. At 6:24 pm, satisfied all looks okay, he also leaves for the night .

:vid: One last stick and an inspection by Sur! - (4:08)


Interesting! My scaps all disappeared - they were there last night when I posted them and i had to re-post them this morning!
