Good morning, cococat, Sandra, Pat and friends!

10:00 am
Beautiful morning.



I thought I saw a bit of activity over on the left - but it turned out to be a several little black birds, not one big bird. Nice to see something, but.... (They're not visible in the picture)

I think what you saw is not an eagle, Sandra - there's something there that has fooled me on occasion as well.

I just checked the 2011 timeline (link), and the first egg was March 10 last year. I'll probably continue to check in fairly often until the middle of March - but I am not terribly optimistic at this point, knowing that they began spending quality time at the nest in mid-February last year. Still, a couple of weeks one way or the other are normal, so

Thanks JudyB, I was hoping against hope that it was an , like you I'll keep my hopes up. Thank you for diligently keeping your records.

Mom and Pop DeltaOWL where arrrrrrrre you.....HELLOOOOOO............ your faithful followers have maintained high hopes for your success in raising a family and well we would love to at least have you pop in for a little visit .

5:19pm All I'm hearing is the little chickadees, and of course the wind, also a small plane is heard.

Well, no news is good news? Ma and Pa were again a no-show. I did take a couple of pics for, if nothing else, reference purposes. They speak for themselves don't they?




I did a very quick tour of the immediate area as well including Bandit's old nest.
Those pics will be posted on the Ground Observers thread: here

Judy...Super great pictures of the nest. Does not look like a very promising nest for this season. It is beginning to look like they are taking the year off or using a nest elsewhere.

Thanks for the oodles of good pictures and info in the ground reports forum.

8:38am ~ beautiful day. No sign or sound of any eagles or any critter in the nest.

I know I'm a terror for leaving things to the last minute -
But these eagles are really cutting it fine!
No work has been done to the nest - at all

5:20pm
Wow!!!!! the sound is excellent at the moment. I've heard a train, an eagle in the distance, a car, a bird that I think is a blackbird.
There's a very light breeze, but nothing to speak of.

5:21pm
Small plane passes by.
It's clear enough to see the north shore mountains in the background too, and they are a bit of a distance away .

Hmmm - I wonder if Mom and Dad have hired some Martians to come work on the nest?



Not sure where the light actually is, but this is the first time I remember seeing it.

It gets fainter, then gets bright again.





It is a beautiful evening - but would be even more beautiful with eagles.

Wet and windy, no eagles.

JudyB, neat photos with the light. Wondering if it might be coming from the sod/turf farm or maybe from a work site (there's a lot of construction with roadway going in in that area) .
