8:47 am in rollback and out of sequence. Rey flew at 8:47. Heard many vocals so he was meeting up with Brit...at least it sounded like it.

10:22 am in rollback, the egg has been left unattended since Rey flew. He comes back to the nest and eating leftovers. Brit flies in and takes over the leftovers Rey is eating. I went back to check and Rey brought this food in earlier this morning.

11:14 am in rollback, Rey is back with a stick and he seems to be in high drive to get rails built. He moves the sticks around Brit and doesn't seem too happy as she is chatting with him.

11:15 am in rollback, Rey shimmies down next to Brit and looks to kick his feet as he tests out part of the nest bowl. She is again chatting with him. Wish I knew eagle talk to understand what she is saying. Then he pops up. So cute.

I took a quick peek out my back window. You won't see them as they are sitting on the very top of the south camera tree keeping watch on the nest.DZ7_1133.JPG
Oh wow. Great photo, skleynhans. How neat is that you could see Brit and Rey out your back window. Appreciate you sharing with us.

It’s amazing at the nest the parents have the rails so high you can’t even see brits head … looked at it from every angle and it’s pretty deep
