5:52 pm - the someone on the far right tower flew off to the left....the way they flew I think this was a hawk. I was unable to follow them as they flew quickly and headed downward

5:56 pm - and just as I was getting ready to go....I checked the stick tree and just as I found someone there they flew off quickly....note that the white spot in the circle in this s'cap is not a white tail but just a lighter leaf. This some also appeared to be a hawk or something else...not an eagle as their wings were flapping really fast and I thought I saw red so maybe a red tailed hawk?

6:00 pm - sorry for hogging the cams but since we had a few birds around I just wanted to see if we could wait until they flew to see if they were eagles.

I am now off the cams. Everyone have a great night!

6:48 am logging into both cams for an early morning quick check.

7:06 am logging off both cams. Did a couple of trips around the Delta and didn't see any birds. Foggy morning this morning. Did check the rollback and didn't see any nest activity.

9:24 am logging into both cams to take a quick look.

9:44 am not seeing any birds that may look like eagles but lots of smaller birds perched on trees. Also hearing lots of little bird chatter. Also hearing the rooster crowing again. Guess it is late getting up this morning.

Bird just arrived on the first pole...........think this is too slim and small to be an eagle.

1:42pm.....That's it for now.........there are definitely some eagles being seen around now............saw 2 myself this morning soaring in the sky in the Langley area..........so hopefully soon we shall see Ma and Trooper. But if they are having a good break after leaving later this year, that is good too. The Harrison Mills eagles are home now and this morning an adult was in the SR nest too.

I am now OFF both cams.

3:24 pm checking in and see the embedded cams are down. Will make a report and log in to see if zoomer cams are OK. Just saw there is a report made.

Thanks, Jean, for reporting you are seeing eagles. Hope it will not be long until we see Ma and Trooper.
3:30 pm lots of little birds at the towers. Saw a large bird flying by and followed it but moving way to fast to be an eagle.

3:42 pm lots of little birds landed in the top of the nest tree and they are making lots of racket! Wonder if these little birds are migrating south for the winter?
