tweetie_AEF (Moderator): Good Wednesday afternoon, faithful Hamlet viewers! Pretty quiet this afternoon so far, the eagles must rest or fish this time of the day. Some distant vocals could be heard a little before 1:00, but no eagles visited the nest tree at that time. Chances are good we will see more of Samson and his friends later today!

gretchen_AEF (Admin): WEDNESDAY Tuck-In: At 5:39pm vocals were heard as Samson and A2 arrived at the nest. They perched, picked around in the nest, and are now roosting for the night nest-side. It was a peaceful day in the Hamlet. Thank you for the multitude of Birthday wishes. Y'all make this cam experience so special and are special to me and this entire volunteer NEFL cam team. Thank you for being part of the NEFL family and supporting AEF. SED y'all
