WHITE ROCK 2018~2019 BALD EAGLE CAM

This thread is for Discussion, Observations, Screenshots & Videos solely related to actions / events / occurrences at the White Rock nest.
When making your posts, please type the time first, then your observation of the activities. Although we tend to want to humanize our eagles, they are wild birds so please try to avoid the temptation to speak for them.

Posting Guidelines
Screenshots and photos and/or links to videos are welcome in this thread as part of the discussion. We welcome all screenshots and videos of the White Rock nest captured via the webcams. Screen captures are limited to three (3) per post and should be no more than 500 pixels wide. Please use the file tag (not the IMG tag) when attaching your captures. Also, make sure you save your captures in the JPEG format.
As a courtesy to viewers with slower internet connections, please limit the pictures in each post to no more than a total of 150,000 bytes. Please do not post animations (though it's fine to post a link to them). Please limit smilie/emoticons to three (3) per post. Also, some members have difficulty with moving smiley/emoticons so please limit those to one (1) per post (of the three (3). Please remember this thread is solely for observation/discussion regarding the events in and around the nest area.
Thank you for your cooperation!
-----------------------------------------

We have four PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) cameras for the White Rock territory: Closeup and Wide Angle are
Vivotek cameras, the South camera is an Axis Q6035, and the new North camera is a HikVision camera; the Closeup and North cameras are now located on the 2016 nest tree.
Watch all four LIVE HERE

October 3rd and an eagle appears at WR! Thank you for all the posts and video! This female eagle does have Mom traits and behaviors as you have mentioned.
a couple of scaps from your video - Mom? eagle on the nest and side branch. She appears a bit travel-worn, but checking familiar territory :yes:
