7:45 am - large bird on this light pole that is to the right of the 2nd neighbor's tower. To the right of the distant evergreen.

I think this is either a juvie or an adult. Hard to tell if there's a white head on this one.

I apologize if anyone is watching. This adult flew off the first tower and appeared to be going after something. The cam was hesitating so I was able to follow them completely.

8:11 am - adult flying off tower to the right

Was joined up by someone else that seemed to be going after the adult

I lost the adult as they were flying back to the left but had kept the W Cam on the first tower and it appeared they flew back into the tower. Good thing for the rollback. I kept checking it and they flew off from the first tower and went to the left.

And look who is on the pole by the flag, standing straight up and I almost missed that they were there.

Having lots of trouble with the rollback, trying to grab some s'caps but it's hesitating so much that it's making it impossible.

8:29 am - there was someone on the first tower....maybe a hawk?

They flew off and appeared to go to the left

Then someone came at the adult on the flag pole....assuming it is the someone that was on the first tower

Well, I think my time is up....guess 2 hours is the limit. Cams are both down, and I see the embedded cams are as well.

9:25 am - They came back for a few seconds....well at least the E Cam did. The W zoomer cam page timed out. Waiting for them both to come back and then I will log off. I hate to take the cam off our adult but have to take a break and give the cams a break as well.

Oh Sue, we are tickled pink to see adult eagles this morning. Thanks so much for zooming and staying with them!

Thank you Sandy, and your class for stopping in. It's a great day...seeing an adult. Been a while. Assuming it's Ma but can't confirm until they come to the nest tree.

I've been having lots of trouble getting into the forum, trying to post etc. Things don't seem to be working right for me this morning so will keep trying. It seems to be hit and miss. I have made a report on the tech thread.
