6:36 am SF has been doing a bit of preening. Heard more vocals earlier but didn't see anyone in the immediate nest tree area. SM is close but not sure where he is.

Thanks, CC as I did not see her mouth moving. Would you like to take the cams?
6:44 am SF still on the left support perch. Logging off both cams at 6:44 am as gotta run for a bit.

Sure Sandy. I've got a bit of time before I have to run off for the day. Have a good one!

0649 - More soft vocals from SF. I"m going to jump on the north cam for a minute.

Re: Surrey Reserve 2022-2023 Observation and Discussion
7:11 - lots of vocals from SF and possibly SM, hard to tell with the sound from both cams cross over.
SF is still on the west perch. I have to get ready for work. Ill check back in a few minutes.

7:19 am in rollback, both are digging in the nest and moving a stick to the rail. SM then hops up to the upper branch.
Thanks, CC, for taking the cams.“Eagles: When they walk, they stumble. They are not what one would call graceful. They were not designed to walk. They fly. And when they fly, oh, how they fly, so free, so graceful. They see from the sky what we never see.” – Unknown
Re: Surrey Reserve 2022-2023 Observation and Discussion
7:25 am in rollback, SF does more digging as SM turns to look on.

8:11 am
Adult just arrived with food, panting a bit and looking around. SM?
I'm hopping on the South cam briefly.
Big beak - could be SF.
8:16 am
She or maybe he is starting to eat the food item, looking around warily from time to time.
The adult looks a bit wet, which makes it harder for me to see some of the ID markers; I'm seeing dark around the eyes (SM) and a bit of shading on the tail (SF). Maybe white on back - harder to tell.

8:17 am just checking in to watch. Judy, I believe this is SM as can see the notch in the feather on the right wing. Also, two of those feathers are a bit faded. He sure is enjoying his meal. Gotta run again.

Re: Surrey Reserve 2022-2023 Observation and Discussion
Thanks, Sandy - I was just coming to the same conclusion via a different route. I couldn't see the notch on the back, but definitely don't see light feathers on the back, and the the beak doesn't seem to go as far back as a female's would, though that's really hard to judge because it looks so different at different angles.

I'm happy to log out if you'd like the cams, Sandy - also in the middle of something.
If not, I'll stay logged in so I can move them if SF shows up and put them back when he's done.
8:37 am
Nice long meal.
I'm logging out - will check back to adjust the cams when he leaves.

Hi Judy, I am back. I can take the cams if you need to leave. Just let me know when you are logged in. I have found I can't get on very well when someone else is on.
