12.40 Staring, in this pose, for quite some time.



Then back to sleep in her head tuck position

1.33 Looks like she was checking out the nest with her beak, but didn't really move her talons from where she has been "roosting" all night.

Here are a couple shots of some reaching under her tail.

1.42 - 1.46 Shakes a bit. Moves a few sticks in nest bowl. And positions her self in the bowl facing 2.

2 am... Resting. It is fascinating to watch a first time mama eagle-to-be (hopefully) follow her instincts with her first real nest/home.

Fascinating indeed, Judy, but also fatiguing,

2:39 am. DT awakes and looks around while still in the nest bowl, then stands and finally shuffles back a bit, still looking around, flares wings slightly.
2:53-54 She walks forward and fly-hops up to her favorite perch branch. It had looked hopeful several times this evening but now time to say

Good morning everyone! Maybe today...

6:32 (nest clock time) tuned in to see both working away in the nest. They both left 2 minutes later.

Good Morning Everyone.....
Great pictures! What an anxious night it was.
Looks like a beautiful day in the gardens and for DT to lay an egg.

BET...how is the new puppy? Same breed as Rita? Name?

Off Topic - my puppy, I deleted.
