G'morning all :)
FWIW, the 4:30 PM PST visit. My rewind won't go back far enough for the nooner.

Thanks for recording that, Bill - it was a fun visit to watch. I also suspect this is the male, but haven't seen enough of them to be sure of that yet.

Thanks, Bill!

I finally got the almost-20-minute video from the noon visit yesterday posted - no excitement, but lots of nice views of the eagles and their nest.

Thanks for starting our day, nightowl - and good catch of the quick visit, Bill.

6:32 pm
I just took a really quick look at the dvr, and found one quick visit, possibly by the male though I still am not sure who is who - but I don't see the dark eyes that I think are characteristic of the larger looking (so more likely female) eagle. He (?) stopped by for a couple of minutes just after 4:30 pm, and found a large stick to move.

Awesome to see "our pair" working on the nest together! :D And the male bringing in new branches. :rh: They tussled a bit over a branch or two but then cooperated - great to see! :huggie:
