Re: Dade County, FL Eagles--2022/23
Ron or Rita never came in this morning, and I have to admit after that Rat yesterday I was concerned about Rita but this after both came in and Rita is looking great.
2.52.42Pm-3.58.22Pm
* Ron flies in at 2.52.42Pm he doesn't do anything and leaves again at 2.55.23Pm
* Back with a stick at 2.57.37Pm he places it and does a bit of preening before moving to the selfie branch at 3.00Pm
* Rita finally arrives at 3.04.09Pm with a stick. She does a bit of nest work before Ron joins her on the nest at 3.07.39Pm
* 3.07.49Pm the Blue Jay joins Ron and Rita on the tree trunk to the right of the nest. Rita and Ron don't seem to even notice
* Ron leaves at 3.08.2Pm and back at 3.10.10Pm with a stick
* He works on placing it and then both aerate the nest for a bit
* Ron checks out the fit and comfort of the nest for Rita at 3.15.05Pm. Everything for the little wife
* 3.14.55Pm Rita now leaves and Ron carries on with nest work
* Rita back with a stick at 3.17.32Pm and Ron moves to the back perch while she goes about placing it
* Rita is gone again at 3.22.10Pm and Ron leaves as well at 3.22.58Pm
* Ron is back first with a stick at 3.23.23Pm and Rita as well brings a stick in at 3.27.40Pm
* Both take a bit of a break but then...
* Ron flies out again at 3.36.26Pm and back with another stick at 3.38.19Pm
* Rita flies out at 3.38.31Pm but does not return this time and Ron leaves at 3.41.20Pm
* Here comes again. Ron back with another stick at 3.42.16Pm
* Ron moves to the selfie branch and then leaves at 3.58.22Pm
* Neither Ron nor Rita has returned to the nest since
So, a total of 8 branches are brought in between 2.57.37Pm -3.42.16Pm. Not bad at all

* Rita did make a very brief visit yesterday but other than that Rita and Ron have not been seen at the nest at all including so far this morning. The rain started yesterday already and has continued all through the night off and on.

Hurricane Ian or not Rita and Ron are at the nest this afternoon bringing in sticks and working on the nest. Ron even takes time out to check the comfort of the nest. Even though the Hurricane is to hit the west side of Florida it is pretty windy in Miami Dade County to be out working. Hmm does this mean that there is a deadline to meet for these two?
Couldn't resist this S'cap of Rita

Re: Dade County, FL Eagles--2022/23
From what I read on chat the worst is over for Ron and Rita though it is still raining, and heavy winds are still persisting. It didn't seem to stop Rita and Ron yesterday or this morning when both were in continuing their work on the nest
