Another look, but didn't last long.

4:22pm.......Ma is out like a light. If there is a hatch before dark she will likely have little sleep............she is smart to sleep when she can now.

4:26pm..........Saw Ma look this way and found Trooper coming in for a landing on the evergreen tree.
Brought the cam back to the nest in case he comes there.......want to see those eggs without adults over top of them if we have a COTG!

5:03pm........Ma remains on the nest at this time........wonder if she will get a break tonight? She could use one.
I cannot stay any longer............cams are free for any available zoomer.
Please post if you are watching. Thanks.
I am now OFF both cams.........both cams will be left zoomed in for a view of the eggs.

Just checked in quickly to see the progress of the egg before I close my laptop down for the ngiht.
5:08 PM: Mom rolls the eggs. I couldn't even see the pip from the first egg. Good night, everyone! Hope I wake up to a sweet, little eaglet in the nest tomorrow morning.

It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles.
