4:41 pm -Ma and Pa trilling


4:42 pm-Ma flies out


4:48 pm - Pa flies out

I've been watching and recording throughout the afternoon. It has been amazing watching
all the comings and goings especially Dad taking the food, bringing it back several times, lol.

5:20p - Dad comes in and does some nestorating and settles into the bobblebowl.


5:22p - First one way and then.........


5:24p....turns the other way pulling nesting toward the bowl.

Annie and all. Strange that Dad has been there so long, I thought it was Mom getting ready to lay an egg, wishfull thinking
5:35-5:40pm

Are we sure this isn't Mom on the nest right now?

Hi ostrich, By the feather markings, I believe it is Dad. He spends way more time in the
bobblebowl than Mom does!

5:54p - Dad's finally up out of the bowl checking around.

I've only been watching on and off during the nestorating period so I haven't gotten fully back into the feel for distingusing them again, but the bird on the nest just seems to have such a wide and blocky proportions to the neck and head I would have given anything that it was a female eagle (as opposed to the males who have much sleeker heads generally). I know Ma and Pa WR are a bit closer in proportions than a lot of other pairs and a bit harder to keep straight.

5:58pm A big yawn then flew out, missed the shot
