I'm with you Peggy--think it is M but the light is a little odd, so not sure. Thanks for piping up--at least I know that the sites are working. :hug: :nite:

It did take a while to post, LP, there was an error msg at first. So maybe people have had issues. You have a good night too. 🙂
Best wishes,

Peggy :)

:wave: Hi Lovinnature. Go to the Forum--When I returned this morning I edited my earlier post and ended it with a comment about your light flashes. Think lightening flashed far away as front approached.The only other flashes I saw were smaller and later (not the whole sky lit up). I think those were reflections caused by passing cars in the rain if this is what you are referring to:

Have you heard from Suemac?? Did not see any posts by her yesterday or today. The sites are slow to post, but everything that I have tried to post (yesterday and today) has gone through. :puzz:

And if you can read lips (i.e., beaks in this case), you can see momma ain't too happy about this progression.

But I guess she didn't hold it against him because milady has presented a SECOND EGG!

Confirmation at 15:05:39 today. I thought maybe it was coming when her posture was such that the presentation of her feathers was a little different than usual.

I was late to the party last year (I'm a newcomer to concentrated wildlife watching.) so I don't know if last year's nest started out with more than one egg, but there was just the one eaglet growing up. Fingers crossed for two.

Hello lauraG. :wave: Thank you for the scaps of the lovely eagles. Two egg that's great ! Sorry, I can not answer your question about this nest and how it went last year, as I have never watched it.
Maybe next time when you post your scaps, you would also add the link to the nest. I would like to look in there. :)

Missed yesterday to wish E17 and E18 a Happy Hatch Day!
They are two years old!
E17 and E18 hatched less than 2 hours apart.
They did everything together, including going to CROW camp

5/23/21 E17 and E18 on attic. On the night of 5/23/21, E17 spent the night under the nest
and E18 on the attic. Harriet and M15 were perched in the front pine.
Both E17 and E18 left on 5/24/21 on their forever journey.

:wave: I find it interesting that the link to the facebook post by Tom Sawyer does not work today. Wonder if he got the message that a lot of people don't appreciate him or his posts. :dunno:
