Not sure who is who - but there were at least three eagles out on/near the perch by the original nest tree where the WA cam is; not easy to see, so I'll add red circles. (One of the resident pair was on the nest during this time, doing some serious calling at times.)
After the one overhead circled out of sight, the one perched on the right took off and appeared to fly at the one on the left:
The one who had been perched on the left flew down in the general direction of the nest, showing a white head. The one who had been on the right took the possibly preferred left perch. (no pic)
Then the one who had been circling around came back and appeared to be swooping at the one on the left perch, but that one didn't leave.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the adult who had been incubating appeared a bit wet and ready for a break.
Second adult arrives from the right, and first adult prepares to leave.
Incoming adult moves to the eggs, does a quick roll, and prepares to settle in.
I think the adult who took the left perch is still there, so unless I missed a quick interaction, is not one of the resident pair.
