Good afternoon, everyone - and thanks for your report and the weather, Bev!
2:32 pm
Sur just landed on the nest - he immediately adjusted a beakful of nesting material, and I'm not sure if he brought it, or had just been thinking it needed to be in a slightly different spot!
I did see the upper tail as he arrived, which is why I think Sur - and the eyes also look right.
2:36 pm
And he's gone! I think the grass is new.
Added -
Most of the grass was there - I just looked back. But he did bring some.

Back with a stick.
Showing off upper tail.
And here comes Res!
She may have brought a small stick - and definitely had some thoughts where some things should go!

A few more trips in and out with sticks - happy to see them working on the nest!
A bigger stick!
And I need to step away from the computer - hopefully this will remain up on the dvr so others can watch!
3:44 pm
One of them is still there - maybe Res?
And it could be Sur - he's a big eagle, just not as big as Res.
3:52 pm
Remaining eagle flew off - looked more like Sur, but still not sure.
And I'm out for dinner and probably the evening.

Re: Surrey Reserve 2019-2020 Observation and Discussion
Good morning, everyone, and thanks for starting our day, nightowl!
Well, that was interesting - when I used the usual link to get the weather, I got an access denied message. When I opened the Weather Network home page and searched for weather in Surrey BC - I got access denied. But when I googled weather in Surrey BC, the usual site opened. Strange. Anyway - here's the weather.
I checked back on the dvr and one of the adults visited a little after 7 am - I think Sur. He moved a couple of pieces of fluff and briefly checked the nest cup area (I didn't get a s'cap of that), but mostly stood around. It looked like his neckline.
He stayed until just after the cam went to color around 7:21 am.
I didn't get a screenshot of his fly out, but it looked as if there were spots on the upper tail, another indicator of Sur.
North cam only went back to around 5 pm (and skipped a lot during the night); I didn't see a dusk visit last night, or any additional visits this morning.

Re: Surrey Reserve 2019-2020 Observation and Discussion
Hi folks! I just took a quick look back on the dvr and found this image
Looking back more slowly - one of them arrived about 10:40 am - not sure which. The second one arrived at 10:58 am. I'm thinking Sur first, then Res. Very windy, but they did some work on the nest.
Both moving sticks around at 11:05 am. One left at 11:07 - I think Sur (based on apparent size) though I couldn't see dark tail spots. Res left at 11:12. Someone back at 11:19 with a stick - I think Sur.
And if my ID is right, he's the one who spent some time in the nest bowl, before flying off at 11:46.
This is him with his stick - unfortunately not easy to see, but it was a big one.
Dinner time here - good night, everyone!

One of the adults landed on the nest at 6:57 and I think the second one landed a couple of minutes later (cam was very pixelated, and I was watching on my iPad).
Here are a couple of screenshots
One of them - I think Res - flew off at 7:05; the other one stayed, looking around, until 7:15, then flew off.

Re: Surrey Reserve 2019-2020 Observation and Discussion
Here's one of Sur(?) in color, shortly before he left.
And this is annoying - I was going to get a screenshot from the South cam - and it skipped the visit on the dvr. It's funny - the picture before you click play is recent - and nice and clear.
But even on HD, the streaming image doesn't look as good.
Though perhaps it's also pixelating - I just rebooted North - maybe I'll see if a reboot will help South.

Re: Surrey Reserve 2019-2020 Observation and Discussion
Hmm - I checked South dvr before logging in and didn't find any recorded visits (I'd also checked North and didn't see anything) - but did find these amazing colors at 6:30 pm yesterday.
Well, maybe it's my connection. Here's the new pre-play screenshot, from 3 minutes ago.
And this is the live cam - and the trees on the left look blurry, even on high def.
Ah well - both cams are rebooted and streaming smoothly, in case we get another visit.
