4:15 pm and out of sequence. I had these s'caps of an interaction between Ma and Trooper. Ma moved over to Trooper and tried to grab some bites of the leftovers. There was a quick tug-of-war between then and Trooper ended up with what was left over the prey. It looked like Ma was a bit surprised.

Good morning friends of Delta2. At 0639 I could hear Eagle chatter.

7:12 am Ma then hops up to the long branch and vocalizes. First time in a long time have I heard her unique vocals. :rh:
