There are two eagles perched on a sandbar way out past Mom's perch - I saw them flying in together...maybe Dad and Lady?

I think these might be two eagles flying in from the flats - the two on the sandbar are still in place..

Thank-you Darlene!

From the DVR:

Dad arrived first at 10:05am - followed almost immediately by Lady. Dad has a lot of white downy fluff on his beak...

Both were moving moss and digging - Lady was digging in the centre of the nest and didn't want to give that spot up to Dad. There was some pecking and Dad went to the runway...

Lady was moving a leafy branch around while Dad kept watch - then Lady preened in the nest...

Both eagles stopped and looked around - it looked as if Dad saw something - he flew off suddenly at 10:14am

Lady went to the ICB for a minute - then came back into the nest to move branches with Dad - a bit of pecking took place...lol

Lady got her own branch and placed it in the rails across the nest...Dad 'helped'

Lady finally got it placed to her satisfaction - then found more branches to move around. There was some more pecking too - Dad really wanted to move those branches himself, it seems!
