7:24 am in rollback, SM comes to the nest about five minutes before SF lands. Looks like SM had to quickly get out of the way when she arrived. After they dig around. SM hops on the upper branch.

7:30 am both do some vigorous digging in the nest bowl. SM then is back on the upper branch.

11:25 pm Checked the DVR back to Sandy's last post but didn't see any eagles. Probably holed up somewhere dry!

7:03 am heard eagle chatter around 5:30 am. Had the cams up. SF and SM have not been to the nest yet this morning. So logging into the south cam to do a quick check to see if they are around the tree that we can see.

7:11 am not sure who this is but reminds me of SM. Has a big wing stretch. Has a piece of fluff on the top of the beak, probably from preening.

7:20 am so I want to change my mind as to who this is. They puff up and rouse their feathers. I am now leaning toward it being SF but not sure.

CC, I see you are here. Would you like to take the south cam?

Good morning SR friends. It sounds like the construction of the new homes has begun. The area to be built on is the open field north of the nest on the other side of "The Eagles" building. It will be noisy but I hope it doesn't affect their flight routine.
