Lots merry maid chatter and on the nest sprucing it up for Ma n Trooper, maybe they know something we don't.

Ty Ken for getting our cams working. So much appreciated all your hard work you do to keep our cams running.

Someone at Center Tower preening, but too small to be an eagle I'd say.

6:37pm......I see the cams on the nest. I think if there were any eagles around we'd be seeing them by now......it will be dark soon. I am not staying on the cams tonight.

If anyone sees an eagle come to the nest please post...........thanks. :nite:

7:07 am logging into both cams. Made a couple of trips around the area and didn't see any birds. 7:22 am logging off both cams and will come back to check again later. Hearing the rooster though.

10:07am.........This is the best view we've had of the distant evergreen tree for weeks now..........the tree in front is being blown aside by this breeze. Looks like possibly a bird in the tree.........but it isn't shaped like an eagle.

No sign of Ma or Trooper.........or any other eagles. Time to come home.

I am now OFF both cams.

11:08 am - Good Morning Delta 2! I checked the rollback since Jean's last post and did not see any activity. I am logging into the cams for a look around.


11:28 am - looked around pretty good and the only birds I saw were down by the bay...some dark ones flying around the poles, and then some white birds flying around the tree by the bay...maybe gulls. No eagles seen.

I am now off the cams
