Good morning, everyone!

Maintenance at Harrison Mills today - climbers hope to reach the site around 11-11:30 pacific time, and it will take maybe an hour for them to set their lines and climb up to the nest (it's a BIG tree). Please feel free to join us on the Harrison Mills forum to see the action and help post - viewtopic.php?f=11&p=236886#p236843

Cams are here - https://hancockwildlife.org/harrison-mills-cams/

6:35 am - Good Morning Delta 2! I am logging into the cams
7:07 am - I am now off the cams.

As I looked around all I saw were some small black birds...lots on this one tree that is to the left of the far right tower

And some on the center tower

And assume these are larger birds down at the water...there were three on the right and then one flew off to the left

8:49 am - Good Morning Delta 2! I am going to log into the cams for a quick look around.

8:59 am - found someone (maybe a hawk) on this small tower and then they flew off to the right and I think this is them on this pole to the right.

No eagles sighted out there this morning. They are probably still up north getting their fill of salmon.

9:21 am - I am now off the cams. Everyone have a great day!

6:35 am logging into both cams to have a look around early this morning.

Checked all around and no sighting of any birds other than a flock of fast flying birds around the neighbor's tower. Looking forward to the morning, afternoon or evening with one of us zoomers is just on checking out the sights and an eagle flies by the cam. Or it could be a tower check to find an eagle quietly perched. It will be time for a happy dance. :D When will Ma or Trooper find their way back home? Could be a three or four weeks before that happens but thoughts are with them as they soon will be making their way back to the Delta. :rh:

7:03 am logging off both cams.

6:44 am - Good Morning Delta 2! I am going to log into the cams.

6:49 am - we have a pretty large bird on the first tower.....hard to get a good view as the IR comes on as I zoom all the way in. Not seeing a white head though.

6:54 am - a few minutes later the IR stays off but still not able to tell what this is out there.
