3:21 pm looks like two eagles are perched on the distant tower.

3:29 pm Ma still incubating her eggs. I haven't found Trooper as yet. With the wind blowing, he may have tucked in someplace or soaring in the wind.

to Anyone----Question---How do Eagles recognize each other, up close or at a distance---could be dangerous...maybe a call or ESP

Re: Delta2 2019 -2020 Observation and Discussion Thread
My guess would be that they could recognize each other by their physical features such as feathers, colourings etc. that may not be noticed by us as humans, but more important than that and likely a more valid guess it that they each have unique vocalizations. Many birds recognize their mates by this so it wouldn't be unusual if this also applies to eagles.alexanderernie wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 4:12 pmto Anyone----Question---How do Eagles recognize each other, up close or at a distance---could be dangerous...maybe a call or ESP

4:50pm......Ma got up to tend to the eggs......still not much of a view of them. We need our eggs to be alone without an eagle hovering over them casting a shadow or blocking the view! 
No pips seen yet.
