10:43am..........That's about all around the area. It is fairly quiet, no sighting of any eagles yet.

Nice to see some sticks for Ma and Trooper to move around when they return from their migration.

Looked around and saw no birds of any kind but am seeing a lot of smoke. The worst forest fire smoke day so far this season, visibility is poor.

Some bark or something really dangling down here.

8:18.....Good morning all! Just to add to Sandy’s comments.......all that “fog” out there is actually smoke from the current wildfires south of us in the USA. The fires are ravaging the West coast from southern California all the way to the Canadian border. Stay safe our American friends! :grhug:

Oh dear, Jean. Watching the news and mentions the fires have burned over 3+ million acres of land across the west coast. :brknhrt: 1:31 pm logging into both cams for a few minutes to do a check.

Good morning, everyone!

11:30 am
I took a quick look back to before dawn, and did not see any visits to the nest.

Stay safe, everyone. :grhug:

5:33 pm - Good Evening Delta 2! I am going to log into the cams for a look around.

5:46 pm - I was not able to see any birds out in Delta. Lots of smoke from the fires and it seems that there may be some rain in the area...seeing rain drops on the cam covers.

I am now off the cams.
