Mary, it won't be long and we will get them figured out. They were at the nest this afternoon. It looked a bit cramped for both of them to be in the nest. They were digging, moving sticks, beaking each other and then off they flew from 3.

Dec 18th late afternoon.

Hi Mary and Donna......

This cam and those eagles are both gorgeous.....a delight to see.

Donna....I must have been watching the nest at the same time you were! I have some scaps from their visit too. You are right--this does seem to be quite a small nest. I noticed that they kept bumping each other and having little spats about it.

I think I started to observe them at about 4:45PM nest time or so until about 15 minutes later.

Both on the nest. I'm pretty sure that Dad is on the left and Mom on the right.



Beautiful Mom



Handsome Dad

Mom busy moving a big stick...Dad supervising



There was a bit of snapping and beaking after Dad bumped Mom

Majestic eagle
Wind gently ruffled feathers
Silently watchful

Mom I think has been at the nest for 20 min. that I have watched.







Mom has dirt on her beak from digging in the deep nest bowl.

8:48 Both eagles in the nest.


9:00 One eagle on the high perch over the nest. The other is hidden or has flown off. I think this is mom.


9:29 The eagle on the perch has flown off.

Incoming


Then the first eagle flew off leaving the other to move sticks and watch over the nest.


Second eagle flew off at 2:55.

Donna...I guess we were watching at the same time again!

The first eagle in the nest was Mom for sure...Dad flew in with a stick...Mom left ...then Dad left. Mom came back a while later just to sit for a while.

This scap is just about like yours......



Dad flew in with a stick and they both quickly placed it



Mom back by herself..her head turned all the way around following something..maybe Dad flying around?
