8:25 am - still not seeing anyone by the evergreen....they most likely are on the other side of the tree at this point and maybe lower down. I heard something mentioned about the branch they are looking at being about 65 feet up or maybe it was meters, not sure

Good morning, everyone! I think the the crotch of the tree David is interested in is roughly 65 feet up.

Thanks Judy, that's what I thought but hard to tell where that is at from our cam angle.

8:33 am - Can't see a thing....Maybe they are lower down than these views are showing

[SueB]

8:44 am - there they are!!! David and someone else, not sure who that someone is

[JudyB]

They may need to trim some branches lower down before the lift can get close enough to the tree.

8:46 am - checking things out in the evergreen tree

[SueB]

8:47 am - checking the area that may be able to hold a nest....

8:44 am - there they are!!! David and someone else, not sure who that someone is

I'm thinking Larry/Urban Eagle is an experienced lift operator who would volunteer to help if he was available. Not sure if that's him - I think I've met him, but I usually meet a lot of people all at once when we're in BC.

8:49 am - going up a little higher.....David please keep all arms inside....and hold on!

[SueB]

8:50 am - David pointing at this area maybe?

8:53 am - the view with a lift and a couple people there seems very different. The tree branches look much bigger than they appear when we just have the eagles perched there

[SueB]

8:35 am - David is still assessing the tree I guess

[SueB]

8:57 am - the lift is moving away from the evergreen tree

David said there were several smaller semi-vertical sub-trunks (not sure what to call them) that are going up beside the main trunk of the tree - and those smaller verticals are something like 18 inches at the base - so the tree is fairly large! I'm wondering if one or both of the cams might be placed on those verticals, allowing them to be a bit further away from the nest than was possible in the current tree. David is aware that as the eagles have built up the current nest, it's getting very close to the cams.

8:58 am - heading downward

A wave to the camera?
