11:50 am checking in to see the embedded cams are offline. Will make a report.

Thanks Sandy for reporting the embedded cams.........but the zoomer cams are still working so I will take a quick look around.

No eagles are currently in the nest.


Now that last night's brutal wind storm has passed it has turned into a nice day, but it is still a bit breezy. :woohoo:

1:02pm.......Not sure if this came in earlier and was seen on the cam but there is a fresh looking clump of grass in the nest. Likely someone brought it in recently.

3:47pm....IN on both cams.

If any other zoomers wish to take the cams just let me know! I am happy to share. :D

The wind seems to have died down now...........no sign of our pair yet but there was a large bird, possibly an eagle flying fast down by the bay.

4:40pm.......SM and SF have not shown themselves yet. Night vision has come on the cams. And I cannot stay any longer.............I am OFF both cams.

Will come back later tonight to check the rollback.

7:02pm....From the rollback........SF landed in the nest at 4:53pm and exited after a few seconds. I am guessing this was our female because of the markings on the upper tail.

7:08pm.....From the rollback.........From the direction she was heading in when she left the nest I'm guessing she went to the distant evergreen for the night. There are no eagles on the night perch in the tree so I'm leaving the S cam showing the nest itself.

No eagles here tonight.

S embedded cam is frozen.

I see that the S embedded cam is frozen at 5:22pm. I will report it.
