2:21 am all is quiet at the nest. Brit did a little bit of digging an hour ago but mostly she has been sleeping.

3:56 am in rollback, Brit has been standing over her egg over little over an hour. She then aerates the nest bowl and gives her egg a roll. She settles down to go to sleep.

8:23 am in rollback, Rey comes flying in with a stick. He dropped in before he landed in the nest. Brit is calling out. Rey found some leftovers.

8:31 am in rollback, after sitting for a bit, Rey flies. Brit continues to call out. Apparently she wasn't ready for a break as she didn't get up.

1036 - In on the cams. Brit just flew off and I hear vocals

Brit is nearby calling out. I haven't had time to check the rollback yet or read this morning's events. This is a new vocal for Brit, and I think it might be meant to get Rey's attention.

1043 - Someone landed with a wad of grass. Not the best scap lol but I need more coffee. It's been a long couple of days up watching these two.

Ray is on the nest now with his egg while Brit continues to call from nearby. Not sure what her issue is.

1048 - Rey is incubating his egg and sometimes pulling grasses near him, which is his instinct to keep his egg warm I believe. He is also pulling gently at nearby sticks.

I love having both Eagles so close and often. :rh: :rh: 🦅🦅
