8:05 am Good morning everyone! Nothing much happening at SR this morning. As Bev reported, gray and windy this morning. No eagles - Little Grey Squirrel came out of his den for his morning look see.

10:10 am Went back to 8:10 am - no visits from anyone. i am off for an appointment, back later this afternoon. Please check the nest for eagle visits if you can. Thanks!

11:33 am
Just heard some trills - am hoping someone will come to the nest.

South cam is up (thanks, Ken!) but already starting to buffer and switch to the spinning circle.

Here's a picture of the nest - not seeing any obvious changes.

I'm going in on the cams to see if I can find the eagle I hear calling.

[JudyB]

12:27 pm
I added a new preset to the North cam - Nest_and_Woods - it's similar to Nest_Wide (which I may remove) - but shows more of the trees on the left of the nest, and less of the buildings on the right.

My thought is to use it when I'm close enough to the computer that I could log in and zoom back to the nest if an eagle lands - but perhaps we might see them flying in the distance.

Good morning, everyone - and thanks for starting our day, nightowl!

I heard a trill - hadn't gotten around to moving the cam back for a wider view - will do that now.


9:50 am
Took a quick look around and didn't see anyone. I'm out of the North cam now.

[gemini]

9:35 am Checked back to 7:25 am - no eagles!

Today we had a visit from black squirrel - He came out from the "den" - I am wondering if grey squirrel and black squirrel share their den or if it's "first come first served" that gets it for the night. They seem to take turns popping out from under the nest!

Thanks for checking back, gemini!

I read that squirrels often have several active dens - so I'm guessing/hoping that both have other dens in the area and it is "first come first served" for this one. It sounded as if almost the only time squirrels share dens is during their mating season - and I think occasionally when it's very cold and they need to clump together to stay warm. If I remember that correctly.

[gemini]

You're Welcome Judy! And thanks for the squirrel info! Little did we know that we would become squirrel experts when we started watching eagles!

12:35 pm No eagles since 10:27 am.


2:45 pm No eagles since 12:45 pm


5:23 pm Checked back to 3:18 pm - no eagles

[JudyB]

5:38 pm
Thanks so much for checking on things here, gemini. I did have the cam up much of the time, but was doing other things so might have missed a quick visit (this pair can be stealth eagles, arriving very quietly.

I'm going to log into North for a minute and return it to a closer view of the nest. I added yet another preset today, and at some point I'll sort them out - but for now I'm hoping that we'll (a) have more visits and then (b) have more people posting.

Goodnight, everyone!
