I am going to have to go and start dinner....it has been so quiet while I've been here...have no idea where our eagles [or any eagles] are perching during the day!!

Good Morning H Mills , Yolande , Heather, Baita, Misha, Philjo and everyone!

Hi Misha and nice to see you here .. this is a new pair we have at this nest and we will have to wait and see.. having said that this nest doesn't usually have eggs until the first week in April so they still have lots of time to get the nest ready !

[Yolande]

Morning everyone! I was rolling the cam back to see if there had been a visit and there was one at 7:32am this morning...Here are a few scaps and I'll continue watching and then post more...

[Yolande]

I'm noticing the very prominent black feathers in the tail. And no black head feathers...

Moved to the rail and was poking around - perhaps looking for nestovers?

[Yolande]

It did come up with a clump of mostly feathers left from MsD's last meal in the nest...

[Yolande]

There was something to munch on, because the eagle then feaked it's beak on the rails...and spent a lot of time just looking around and listening..

[Yolande]

After finding a few more morsels, the eagle hopped to the runway branch...

[Yolande]

It perched there, looking and listening - then flew off at 7:42am. The eagle didn't actually go into the nest...while it was looking for food morsels, it stayed on the rails...

The visitor seemed quite relaxed, but vigilant... There is always something interesting going on here...!

ADD: BB late this afternoon.

[Yolande]

Hello again...I checked the DVR and there have been no visits since the last post...

[Baita]

Good afternoon Bev, Yolande, Heather, Philjo, nightowl and HM. Great catch Yolande! I’m glad all the leftover morsels were eaten! Have a wonderful Sunday!

[IrishEyes]

Thanks Yolande for the s'caps .. great you were here to check the DVR The eagle that I saw didn't have black markings on its tail feathers but it went so fast and with the wind the pictures were blurry

Hi again Bev and Baita...

I took another look at your scaps of yesterday's eagle visit, Bev, and like you, didn't see any black tail feathers. If it did have some, they weren't as prominent as the black in the tail of the eagle that visited the nest this morning. Lots of black there! I don't think it was the same eagle..... but, JMO.

BB later today.....
