4:13 pm heard Ma's vocals and she is back in the nest tree on the branch. Checked the poles and towers and haven't seen Trooper yet.

4:21 pm trying to get a close up of Ma but the lighting was off. Then she begins to vocalize and flies down to the nest.

4:21 pm Trooper is in the nest with a bit of food. Think it is Bella who is quick to get over and mantle the little food.

4:21 pm Trooper flies off while Ma gets the little fish ready for the eaglets. I thought Ma knew Trooper was out flying around as when she was on the branch she kept looking around as if she was following him.

4:22 pm this is a small fish and probably will not last long but Ma begins to give bites to Bella first.

4:23 pm that fish is gone quickly. Coola got a few bites and Bella maybe one or two and that is it. No more little fish.

4:43 pm Ma up on the higher branch preening. Going to take a look for Trooper but hopefully he is out hunting as that little fish was only a snack.

4:53 pm checked the poles, towers and evergreens and didn't see Ma or Trooper. Logging off of both cams. Hope everyone has a nice evening.

1:59 am in rollback, the west cam goes back to this time and we can see Ma wasn't in the nest. So we have a milestone in that the eaglets spent some of the night alone with Ma probably up in the nest tree. Looking at the rollback, the eaglets slept and moved around a bit. Oh they are growing up. Think it is Bella up at this time with a nice crop drop and PS. Looks like a fish delivery was made last night and the eaglets have nice crops. Note: fish still in the nest.
