2:10 pm - Jean, I can't stay but just saw the screen moving as you panned from the first tower over toward the port pole and someone was soaring up there

Thanks Sue, I will have another look there.


I will be away from my computer from about 3:30pm to 6:00pm.

2:24pm.....I did see someone flying from L to R and there were flashes of white so maybe an eagle..........but he was flying fast! And that wind that seemed to have died down is back now strong as ever! Very hard to watch anything that way!

I am now OFF both cams.

There are a few eagles back to the area as I saw a few while I was out and about. I had not seen ANY since early August so they will all be heading back about now.
Another thing my husband pointed out were the number of rabbits he sees when he runs out near the dyke and through the trails. He said he has never seen so many. I guess their numbers increase when the eagles go away as it is one less predator for them. We know that Trooper is an effective hunter so the rabbit numbers may dwindle. Sad, but such is nature and the circle of life. I hope to be back this season to observe and post as we witness another Delta eagle family success :luck:
There are pretty strong winds today. Noticed the gusts are now just picking up so may be difficult for the cams.

Thanks Cherryl! Good for our eagles that there are lots of rabbits right now (not so good for the rabbits)......and we had ducks in the watery fields too, but since this wind came up the ducks seem to have disappeared! Taking shelter I would guess. This wind is not typical for this time but it does happen........hopefully soon things will die down.

Good to have your reports Cherryl! Thanks for all your help!

Jean, I went back to see what you were following and caught this....looks like two adults, up top, chasing off another eagle...maybe a young one.

4:09 pm - Good Afternoon Delta 2! I am logging into the cams. It still seems windy but maybe not as bad as earlier. I've checked the rollback and did not see anyone come to the nest.

4:20 pm - we had what looked like a young eagle flying over by the far right tower and then they landed there and stayed for a bit but then flew off
