Partly sunny and temps in the low's 50's. No sign of the eagles as of 9:10.

Early afternoon visit at the nest.
12:58 or so 1 eagle in the nest.
1:02 both in the nest.
1:06 both have exited.

5:05 to 5:14 mst there was one eagle in the nest.
This seems to be a time of day that they like to stop by the nest before it gets dark.
It was another nice day here.

Hi Donna, and Jannice .. Nice caps ..

Hi Debs and JudyB

I too am happy that the appropriate people know about the raccoons.. hoping for a successful out come...

I was off with the littles today but got home early. I tuned in to the daily pix and the eagles have been there almost all morning. It looks like they have been busy bringing in new sticks. They made themselves handy about the nest for sure.

8:14 mst. One eagle in the nest. There was one in the nest at 9:56. Then one returned at 10:30 and stayed until 10:45. The other, I think Ma, was in and out of the nest during this time.

10:45 they are both off the nest.

11:24 1 eagle in the nest.
11:28 both are there
11:30 Pa is looking up and Ma has her head down. Both remain on the nest until 11:50.
11:50 -12:08 Pa remains on the nest along the fence.
12:56 one eagle on the nest.
1:08 both eagles on the nest.
1:14 - 1:20 one eagle remains in the nest.
1:30 both in the nest
1:36 1 in the nest
1:39 empty nest.



So often all we see is the empty nest. Today Ma was busy with sticks and preparing the egg cup and egg bowl.

3:24 - 3:38 one eagle on the nest.
After dark it returns from 5:22 to 5:26.

This overhead view tells the story of all the work they did yesterday. Look at the egg bowl and egg cup. It is early for this nest to have eggs. Looks there is going to be a really good view of the eggs once they are laid and the parents are up.

Afternoon FSV

Donna Sure looks like they gearing up for egg laying great captures and observations so much. Hope those raccoons stay away now too!
