7:42 am - Pa is up and tending to the egg. Digging a little to soften things up

Then rolling the egg

[SueB]

Pa softening the area around the edge

And the egg just before Pa lays down to incubate the egg

7:58 am - Pa calling out

Ma still out on the Delta Port pole. Didn't realize that I caught two birds flying down on the left side of the pole.

8:04 am - Pa up and moving and rolling the egg

[SueB]

8:05 am - Pa looks like a little present here. Such a cutie pie!

[SueB]

Close ups of Pa's left side of beak & eye. His beak is healing well.

8:41 am - Pa got up and started vocalizing and then flew off the nest

[SueB]

Pa came flying back towards the tree, and it was weird but I thought I saw him go high up in the tree, then another eagle seemed to come from off the front side of the nest and land on the branch....which is Pa, so there may have been two eagles.

[SueB]

8:43 am - Pa flew off the branch and into the nest and went right to the egg.

[SueB]

Pa all settled down on the egg

And right before all this happened with Pa going off the nest, I had just so happen to take the E Cam out to the Delta Port Pole, and Ma was there, but I didn't catch a s'cap because Pa was starting to make noise & I brought the cam back to the nest. I went to the rollback and it somewhat helped.
8:40 am - Ma was there, and then the rollback jumped a few seconds so I didn't actually see her fly off.
