5:09 am - from the rollback - Ma flaps her wings to warm them up

And then she flies up into the tree and vocalizes to Pa that she is leaving the nest.

Good Morning Bill! Sorry, I didn't see you there earlier.

5:10 am - from the rollback - the kids watch as Ma leaves the nest (appears to be Dusk on the left and Dawn on the right)

5:12 am - Dusk gets up to do a PS, and thought s/he was going to hit Dawn. Good shot Dusk!

Thank you to whomever reestablished function to the live feeds.

Also, thank you for the wonderful s'caps while the cams were down, as that's a welcomed, dedicated effort!

I hope everyone has a pleasant day ahead.

Good Morning Roy, Robert, and Marg! Thanks for the video Marg, glad you caught the PS.

6:41 am - from the rollback. I was wondering how Dawn (I think) had a stick laying across him/her and was able to catch Dusk (I think) doing some wingers. Look at the feathers coming in.

And here's where Dusk put the stick on Dawn's back.

I just heard some adult vocals near the nest so going to log into the cams now.

7:01 am - I think this is Ma on the tree branch. Hard to tell as it is quite windy and the cam was moving a bit.

Hmmm, now here are the two darlings, one sleeping and one with their eye open. So, I am guess it is Dusk with their eye open, and Dawn sleeping, but they are looking so much alike here.
