Hi Folks, We are all waiting with baited breath to see how this nesting season is going to work out. I recently contacted the Regional Bald Eagle Coordinator for FWS, Craig Koppie, and he sent me this message a few minutes ago:
"There
could be several reasons for this issue. There could be a replacement
nest they constructed during the fall and they are visiting less
frequently at their usual location as you suggested. There might be a
mate replacement so they are starting later due to a new pairing. Or
lastly, they are the same pair and just sense a colder than normal year
and are holding off a few weeks or so because of icing on the river and
greater snow fall potential. I believe somehow, nature knows."
We know that these are the same two birds, so we need to figure this year's delay is caused by a new nest or the cold weather.
I am betting that the cold weather is impacting timing this year. This is the coldest stretch of weather in many years. Combine the weather with the snow and the iced up river and that's enough to delay things...
So time will tell which theory is correct.
Craig just released a cool book with Teena Gorrow called Inside a Bald Eagle's Nest. Check it out here.

Well, I'll add my experience. Can get the live "picture" and hear the wind but the "picture" is frozen. So is still cam.
Maybe by morning all will be working and we will wake to find eggs being tended - she says optimistically.
Judie on the live feed - hit F5
At times the refresh once it runs out of time will start it up again.
Check out the timer to see if it has stopped.
Hubby and I are heading out for an early dinner. Earlier today two of our daughters came by for a visit.
BBL
Eagle Alert
Eagle having early dinner in the nest
At least we know where the kitchen is in the nest
Oh, I see Shep is in the nest. Rearranging sticks.
Got the live feed somewhat...amy getting the twirly, then it goes away...oops not this time, gotta refresh
BTW, Blackwater has zoomed their camera in as far as it will go - they are on hatch alert starting tomorrow!
Checked on the local nest here at the beach...they are incubating!
Got the cam back...in the NHZ??? Not in view
Sandi, the other stuff, paperwork and cleaning...it can wait! Family is more important!
Forgot, it's a 3 day weekend for some of us!
whirley, twirley, girley....
Pretty sure I'm seeing an occasional snowflake flying on the live feed. BTW, my live feed has been running now for 2 1/2 hours without having to refresh it - knock on wood!
Nest is MT again. What is UP with these eagles??
Finally got a new debit card: re- the Target fiasco!
Good Afternoon Eaglebuds. Got done doing some stuff, went to drug store, and now I see NO ONE in the nest. I sure think I see the nest bowl now that it's not so sunny. Looks like just below 12 o'clock! Right? Then we should be able to see 1/2 a bird when sitting there.
Jo, LUV your new avatar. Best cardinal pic I've seen!
Paula, glad you've been on and have some home birds incubating. How is Larry doing? All our thoughts and prayers. Plz tell him he WILL be OK!!!!
My newest theory about the Park nest where I work is that Mom could be IN the nest incubating also and we just can't see her head. That pair did build up the top of the nest on the front, street side where we view it.
P.S. Forgot to mention I've seen a few random snowflakes too on Live MT nest! And it's still running, but no sound right now.
I see those couple of wayward flakes, too. Just got the cam back up
Thanks, Lowreeda! I keep telling him to have faith that the treatment will be successful. He has good days and not so good days. He has to get off the Aleve...and Tylenol just isn't doing as good a job on the pain.
Still can not get the cam. Watching on my ipad. Nest is empty and it looks like snow coming down.
Oh, Paula, so very sorry he is having pain. Not good! Yes, keep positive thoughts!
So envious of the eagles you are seeing! Awesome!
Home from work and all I get is a white screen and the circle going around and around and around and not LIVE FEED
yeah just got it up
persistence pays off
any word on the STILL Cam JO I miss the still cam for pics
did anyone inform Steve on it ??
I see a few flakes at the nest but no Eagle that I Can see
JudyE, I thought Jo sent Steve an email, but I will send one as well. Probably won't get fixed until Tuesday.
I have tried and tried....it is a no go. Have rebooted several times. F5 does nothing for me. I do not even get the twirly thingy!!!
Thanks PAULA I can't remember that far back to the 11th the day the Cam Froze sound like a good movie
I'll join the whine club. I can't even get the live feed on my iPad
This afternoon I decided to clean the dining carpeting
The area rug placed over the carpeting in the dining area was getting worn, and the carpet needed shampooing,so I removed it to find I have part of the pattern on the carpet. Mom didn't have the carpet cleaners remove the area rug last time she had it cleaned. Guess I'll be getting a new area rug real soon.
Hope I can get the cam up before dark
Getting ready to head to Angie house they left Jordyn suitcase Carl closed the door and it locked so I am heading over there
nest looks MT to me see some some flakes once in awhile
keep trying LYNNE1 it took me forever to get the cam up
EAGLE in
put the word out on facebook I gotta book won't be able to do pic I did one Working on cup I thought I heard flapping also snuggling in cup
two eagle now
I see an eagle, Belle, working on the egg cup and now in the egg cup.
both digging in cup
good you are here LOLLY I must run I did get a few pic
Snow flurries are a bit more now.
Well, I certainly can not get pics with the ipad. Grrrrrrr!
I hear HP HP
Glad Belle is protecting the egg cup from the snow.
HP HP HP My first time to see it this year!
you can hear them eat
I got a snip of HP and put on FB
I am now leaving LOL how many time have I now said that
Poof! Judy and eagles!!
I got the cam and saw the afternoon delight now an MT nest
I will have to watch Downton Abby tonight but will check in from time to time. I don't think tonight will bring an egg. Hope I'm wrong.
Rats missed the action
I have returned from Cracker Barrel's dinner with hubby and Michael.
I'll be watching Downton Abbey also ♥
Last week's episode opened lots of new drama.
I have the MT nest in view. I though am hoping for an egg before early Monday morning. Mainly because the weather's forecast is decent and we have to get this bobble head season underway. Remember that BWE is expecting hatching as early as the 17th.
Hello Paula. I saw your eagle in the tree down at your Paradise - beautiful ♥
Please remind me again as to what day of this week does Larry have some dr visits. Sending him prayers for successful healing.
Good evening,
Snowflakes flying across the screen at the nest.
Need to catch up. I have been out with Kathryn and friends today.
Got to see Heidi and her new baby for the first time. Heidi is the young woman I've mentioned before. She's one of five children who grew up next door when my children were growing up.
Heidi and Jay went to the Dominican Republic for a year. When they returned, they married in September of 2012 and Heidi resumed her teaching job here. She had a baby in December. She came home with the baby on Christmas eve after having a C-section.
On that day, Jay told her that he was leaving her for another woman. She kept things pretty much to herself except for the friends who rescued her at that time.
It just takes my breath away. Heidi is almost like another daughter to me.
Heidi joined us and our other friends for church and dinner today. It was so nice to see her and meet her baby boy.
I am sure she will appreciate Momster prayers. We've known her and her siblings since they were small children. She's a leukemia survivor, and a tough young woman, but she really needs some extra love right now.
Thank you.
Jo, you just reminded me that I have a couple of Cracker Barrel gift cards. Need to use them.
Oh, Shirley, that makes me so angry!! On the day she came home with the baby???? That is wild!!!
Omg!! I just got the cam on my laptop. What oh what is the problem?
I have tried all afternoon to get it, so why now? Whoops! Just got the twirly thingy!
On the day she came home with the baby--Christmas Eve.
Kathryn and Susan noticed from her Facebook posts that something was wrong.
That makes me sick, Shirley! He obviously was not worthy of her. God bless her! He does not deserve the baby nor her. OMG! What a cad!!!!
My prayers are IN, Shirley....
so sorry for this sad situation for Heidi...if she has YOU and YOUR family for friendship, love and support, well, she has many blessings with which to go forward....may good things, eventually, come of this.
Glad you got to meet up with her AND the baby :)
xo
Good Evening, Eagle Pals....
been lightly snowing ALL afternoon and still now, hereabouts
I join the Whining, Whirly Twirly
club....I got about 10 seconds out of the live feed, but figure it has a lot to do with my feeble computer
situation
At least I can see YOU-UNS :)
Haven't seen any snow here, but haven't looked out the window for awhile. It was pretty and sunny this morning, then got cloudy and windy. One of those biting winter winds that goes right through you.
Disappointed to open and see an empty nest :(
Internet explorer won't open the cam. I had to open it on Chrome.
Hope I don't jinx myself but my live feed has been running 1:10:48 - like Judy commented the other evening: The black spinning arrow doesn't happen at night... Probably due to fewer viewers.
Oh Shirley, so sorry for your friend. That is awful. I just don't understnad these things.
Paula, sounds like a really Marvy week-end....
so cool, you get to see REAL eagles often at Paradise
Best Wishes for all good and positive things Larry this week, and through these times for you both
Sandi: Good on You, Forward Progress, and nice, that you will see Madeline's competition in the morning
Paula, sounds like a really Marvy week-end....
so cool, you get to see REAL eagles often at Paradise
Best Wishes for all good and positive things Larry this week, and through these times for you both
Sandi: Good on You, Forward Progress, and nice, that you will see Madeline's competition in the morning
Etienne Aigner, JudyE,
that's a good, long-time designer, makes leather shoes too, and other nice things....might be worth getting that purse fixed
Great, all the Eagle action today....
Thanks for all the Play by Plays, Every One !
Loretta, things sound promising at the Park with YOUR eagles, hope there is lots of action this year for you
Best Wishes for a Good Evening, Eagle Pals...
Pajama time for me...
xoxo ttfn xoxo
I am just now reading your comments about Heidi, Shirley. I remember the pic you posted of her visit with you.
All I can say, which is no consolation at this time, begone you
hollow man - begone. Heidi is worth a lot more and deserves much much more then the worthless person you are.
Pryers for Heidi's broken heart and for her to forge ahead with her and her son's life. ♥
Oh No Snow at the nest - I better look outside my window....
Yepper - snow flurries - very few and tiny but they are out there
Heidi her parents, her sisters and brothers,and a multitude of friends in addition to us, and of course Momster prayers.
She will be okay. But, no, he is not worthy of her.
Thanks for your kind and supporting words, everyone. Heidi is one of my favorite people.
Two-hour delay for Hunter tomorrow.
"Hollow man"--yes. I did not know him well. And I do not want to.
Yes, I had a picture of Heidi and Jay with Kathryn, Susan, Hunter, and me on my Facebook for awhile, Jo. It was their wedding we'd just returned from when our neighbor's house burned. I posted several pictures of their wedding reception, as I recall.
I may be mistaken - maybe schools don't celebrate Presidents' day like they do the MLK holiday. I was just joking about no snow day if it were already a holiday........
I am headed for TV
Downton Abbey at 9:00
BBL
Enjoying the Olympic ice dancing tonight.
Presidents Day was supposed to be a holiday, but that has been changed. Not unusual for that to happen.
Heidi's first day back at work is tomorrow. Hoping it's a good day for her. I believe she has second-graders this year. When she was at Hunter's school, he had problems remembering that he could not call her by her first name.
She said it confused her students when a kid came in the room and called her by her first name.
Looks to be snowing out Rehoboth Beach way now. Just looked at the weather map.
Just got this in my email from the American Eagle Foundation when ever the release a video I get a email pretty cool
Many of you are already familiar with our beautiful "When Challenger Flies" music video, which has had millions of YouTube views. We now have another stunning video to share with you! See the eagle Challenger soar at major events over the past 5 years, accompanied by a beautiful a cappella rendition of the Star Spangled Banner
Karm Bites!
That loser created some REAL BAD KARMA!
HEIDI is much better off without him. So is her son.
Wishing her well tomorrow and she is on my prayer list.
Cool video JUDYE.
Your Anthem well presented also.
Headed out on skis tomorrow.
Also yoga
Also volunteer work.
HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY everyone.
Very good yoga workshop today.
Can not wait till Tuesday...Skype with Edward and the boys.
SHIRLEY I also agree he is a scoundrel and he is no man to treat her like that she is better without him Good ridden to bad rubbish

Have been watching Olympics tonight. Have two Downton Abby programs recorded, Want to see them and will soon.
I will take your word that the nest is empty. Tired of trying but failing to get the cam up.
Night all! See you tomorrow.
SED!!
Good evening all.
SANDI: so glad you have taken the steps to get your mom comfort and help at this time. Bless you … this is a difficult step to make.
AND SO VERY glad the pups were adopted!
It has been a good weekend. I need to figure out how to move that video of Olivia to my blog so you call can see it. She skated very well yesterday and got a blue ribbon. She was the only one in her division, but they judged her against the “book”.
It was fun seeing her interact with some of the other girls: finally!
Chelsea, her older sister stood there with tears streaming down her face while watching Olivia. Chelsea is not prone to outbursts of emotion. Although they are sisters, I think Chelsea has more of a motherly love for Olivia, which is pretty neat.
Spent yesterday catching up on house work. I dyed Olivia’s hair tips robin egg blue. She loves it.
Tom and I went and had a night out. Then I slept in til 11:30 this morning. I had not slept in in 2 weeks. Felt great.
Weather was superb today…50’s and sunny. I had windows open and touched up the house a bit. Grilled out this afternoon.
Hope everyone has had a good weekend. I skimmed over everying.
LORI: rock and roll girl. On to another week! I know you’ll be up early.
((((hugs)))) to all. Good night and SED
Hi,
I think I see an eagle feather blowing in the wind at the nest--a bit above the 6:00 position.
Olivia's skating performance sounds really nice, Janet. Glad you got the hair color to work out so nicely.
Enjoy your skiing, Hoda. Susan has taken up skiing this winter. I think she is really enjoying it, but so far she's been plagued with accidents. This time it was an ugly bruise from her ski pole on her hand.
No snow on the nest that I can see.
Hope it stays that way, as we're predicted to get a bit of snow on Monday night.
SED, everyone.
Bear News--At Least Two Cubs for Jewel
Got up to use the facilities and decided to stay up and get a jump on my activities today - homework. Four chapters to read. Ugh.
NEST IS EMPTY.
Thought I'd see an eagle in the nest. Bummer.
Thanks about bear news SHIRLEY.
Goodmorning gLORI
GOOD NIGHT
GOD BLESD
SANDI, I love the way you think of every little detail to take great care of your Mom.
Hope you got your school work done and can enjoy the ice show today.
KAY, so habby you got some more Seth time in. Love him for the way he adores his Grandmother.
SHIRLEY, an absolutely horrible and heartbreaking story about Heidi. Really don't like her scoundrel husband - soon to be ex. LOLLY is right - he doesn't deserve her or the baby! PRAYERS for Heidi.
I keep checking throughout the day hoping to get a notice that there's an egg. Maybe today.
We're expecting another 5" of snow tonight, but we usually get another inch or so on top of what is forecast. It'll be a yucky drive to school tomorrow.
Get some sleep, Hoda. Sweet dreams.
Are you skiing today?
Yes LORI morning ski
Good Morning Eagle Buds
MT NESt as far as i can see
the nest looks so pretty in the sunshine but MT
good MONDAY morning.
LORI: read. Sip some tea. And read some more. ((((hugs))))
HODA: happy skiing.
Its chilly this morning, but I find myself well rested and ready to rock this day! Its lovely to wake up to a clean house.
Work today. When I checked Friday, I am fully booked. We shall see, sometimes things change quickly.
Tom and Livvy are snoozing. Both are off work.
I hope everyone has a great day. Light, love, hugs, and smiles, as we zoom towards the 1000 posts mark…..
Goodorming my eagle friends. Nest is sunshiny but MT and I am disappointed about that. I'm sure our eagles know what they're doing but ...
Yesterday was a pretty good day for Mom. Her neighbors (a couple in their 30s) have no kids but have a dog named Zoey who is their child. They stopped by for about an hour - brought Mom a card, flowers, and M&Ms with Zoey's picture on them as a Valentine's Day gift. They didn't bring Zoey b/c of our dogs but Zoey comes to visit Mom EVERY day to get treats and love - and she gives back a lot of love as well. She's one of those dogs who is able to actually smile and she smiles when she sees Mom. Mom can be sitting on the sofa reading and will look up and there is Zoey on the front porch with her face pressed against the glass of the french doors and her smile. Mom opens the door and in comes Zoey with either Carolyn or Tony.
Lisa and Madeline came over in the evening (Mitch and Michael are in NC for an ice hockey tournament this weekend) and we got Chinese carryout for dinner, then had cupcakes and ice cream to celebrate Madeline's 12th birthday, which is today.
This morning will be busy - packing up the car, getting Mom up and dressed, and then driving to the ice rink to see Madeline's free skate and interpretive events. We'll take the dogs and leave them in the car, then leave Mom at the rink with Lisa and Madeline and hit the road for home.
Denny heard from a coordinator at Gilchrist yesterday and a nurse is supposed to contact him today about setting up a home visit with Mom to discuss how they can help.
Paula, I'm sorry to hear that Larry is in pain - is that what sent him to the doctor in the first place? How long did he have the pain before he mentioned it? I am sending prayers and positive energy his way that this Friday's surgery goes well.
Janet, anxious to see Olivia's video. I cried last year when I saw Madeline compete for the first time and she landed her sit-spin so I know the feeling!
Lori, hope you have a productive day today and don't get too much snow tonight.
OK, gotta eat, then get moving. Will try to check in on my phone as we drive back. If not, you'll hear from me when we get back to Bethany this afternoon/evening.
Have a great day.
EMPTY NEST...
Hi Janet and JudyE!
Janet, love that you're ready to "rock this day!" Awesome.
Hoda, have fun on the slopes or are you doing cross country?
Holy cow....it is cold out there. Just ran 4 miles in 13 degree temperatures. Geesh...now I can't get warm.
Good morning everyone! Where are Belle and Shep keeping warm?
Hello SANDI!
Safe travels for you today. Relax and enjoy Madeline's performance. Glad to hear your Mom has great neighbors - that Zoey sounds adorable!
little bird at 7 on edge of nest
otwig
EAGLE - sitting in the egg cup.
Didn't see him/her land just walked past the computer and there he/she was. Now 2.
Belle is standing near the cup area, Shep is working on stick-moving at about the 3-4 position.
Shep appears to have taken off, unless he's in the IEZ. Belle remains.
Belle is still in the nest, just sitting (or is she standing, can't tell) in the egg cup, enjoying the sun. I will be shutting down soon to pack up my laptop and wake Mom. Someone else will be on soon to take over the reporting I'm sure. TTFN!
Good morning,
Both are in the nest.
It looks like Belle is eating.
Poof Shep. Belle is still eating.
Good Morning Eaglebuds. Happy Presidents Day.
One Eagle is nibbling around 2-3 o'clock and one just poofed over nest. Must have been sitting up in invisible zone.
So sorry to learn that Larry is in pain, Paula. Prayers and hopes that he will have relief soon.
O see no eagles now. I think Belle poofed, but she might have gone into the IEZ.
Yes, Loretta, he was mostly in the IEZ--
Shirley, wanted to share my disgust for Heidi's ex. There should be an IZ for people like that. How horrible a situation. Prayers for her and baby.
I just saw an eagle in the egg cup!
Good morning! I was on fb and just saw an eagle land in the nest and snuggle into the egg cup. Now have the swirly thing and the eagle is gone.
Now I have caught up on reading the blog.
Sandi. Zoey does sound adorable and so glad your mom has them as neighbors.
Now I can not get the cam. Grrrrr! Just got it! Won't last long though.
Feeling good now. Just a few lingering symtoms...drainage, etc. I am going to live! lol
Nothing on the agenda today so I know I am going to get outside. It is already 63 and sunshiney!
Good President's Day Morning, Eagle Buds !!!
SHIRLEY, Heidi and her children are in my prayers ! I agree with LORETTA on the IZ for such cads as her lousy mate.
PAULA, thinking of Larry as his date for surgery approaches---hope he's getting some pain relief in the meantime.
MARGY, also holding you in thoughts and prayers as Friday nears.
SANDI, love knowing your Mom's days are broken up by visits by Zoey and others. Such relationships are vital lifelines ! Glad she's going along for Madeline's skating show--another wonderful diversion for a loving grandmother. Safe travels back to DE !
Bracing for another blast of snow before the weeks warming trend sets in. Thunderstorms expected later in the week--what ? In the wintertime ?
BBL.....
Interesting shadow on the nest. Not sure if it is an eagle or not.
Off for some bowling practice. Tomorrow is bowling day, and I want to try out a few things first.
Eagle!
Nestortions!
Belle is rearranging the furniture.
Good morning to all ♥
Hope you are enjoying this holiday
No President's sales for me
I have caught up with comments.
Sandi - so thankful for Zoey's visits to mom. Such good therapy.
Shirley - have a good day at the alley. Sounds like Suzi had a firm grip on the ski pole. Won't be long until she is on the snowboard
In full view..beautiful!
Hi Jo! beautiful Belle in the nest on a beautiful day!
Wish she would go snuggle down in the egg cup!
Lori - you go girl! My brain would never be functioning at 3am.
Paula, i am praying for Larry's relief of the pain and successful surgery.
Have fun on the skis Hoda. Keep on the safe track in all that snow.
Now she is looking around.
Belle just poofed!
Off to start my day! Have a good one!
Janet - is there a video of Olivia's performance on FB yet? The single photos are great - especially the one with her blue ribbon.
Afternoon, all!
With all the eating and bonding in the nest, I am thinking an egg this week for sure!
Love your optimism, PAULA! We needed that! I really hope you're right.
KAY, hope you're having a great day. We have some sunshine ☼ ☺ here today, BUT another up to 8" of the white stuff tonight.
LOLLY, enjoy your warm day for all of us still in the snow. ♥
Hello on lunch and I can't get the cam on IE or google frustrating
Have you all seen this on my FB page?
I think it's the coolest picture of a human and eagle I've ever seen. Love being able to get a better perspective on their size.
Big Beautiful Eagle picture
It's a public picture so I think anyone can see it.
I loved that pic I sure wish I would hold a eagle like a baby
go the cam up after over and over and over tryng and got the spinny right away
got cam up not go don't like this key board on this itty bitty lap top
No eagles visible in the nest.
Nest is free of snow and sun is shining brightly.
Phoodaddle ! I have a knack for settling down in my office chair to view an MT nest. I do like the sunshine there, however !
LORI, that picture of the cradled eagle is wonderful ! What a thrill it has to be to be in on such a rescue. It's just another day in the life for me--while Columbus City schools are out none of the colleges are and so all in my family had to put their noses to the grindstone today. Penny and I are getting set to hunker down for the incoming snow....again.....
PAULA, I'm trusting that you're spot on where Belle n' Shep are concerned.
well with the spinny circle of PIA I f5 and lost the cam again I give up to frustrating to spend my lunch getting made at the puter gonna watch the NE fl eaglets there are sleeping now
The cam has been running for 9 minutes for me JUDYE. Sorry you're having trouble with it.
Had to leave briefly and returned to the whirling arrowish---cam ran for 28 min. before stopping. Did a "reload" and am back in biz--MT nest, so far as I can see. Wind is roaring.
EAGLE, in to retrieve fish for a snack !
Think it's Belle--didn't see the spot---2nd eagle in with big limb--that's Shep !
He's placing the new crib rail along the bottom and moves up to pick at nest cup.
Both eagles in the nest
One on or very near the cup and one up at 1 spot----both now visable and doing nestorations.
Belle is eating leftovers
Shep is messing with the egg cup
I think she's still finding little scraps of fish to munch on.
Hate to do this but I need to leave for a few hours.
Hoping that they stay at the nest longer..
BBL
Eagle in the nest.
I see just one of them at the moment, but I was away briefly, and I am not sure which one I'm seeing, as it's only 1/2 eagle. Sitting on the egg cup, though. Maybe Belle.
Need to get some chores done, and animals think it is feeding time. Funny how they get their idea even though it really is not 5:00 yet.
Belle, I believe, in the nest cup.
Hello all! Been busy but am in lurk mode when I can. I seem to be able to get the cam at home but the twirly arrow seems to haunt me at work. Prayers for all in need; Sandi's mom, Paula's Larry, Dana's dad and others I'm sure I'm missing.
Hi Patti!
Yes, I agree. And it is a good sign.
Going to have to leave for a bit. Difficult to operate the mouse with a hungry cat sitting on it.
Hi Shirley! Sure hoping she's decided it's time!
I certainly understand that, Shirley!
Holiday for me today so I decided to do taxes while watching the royal nest.
Watching here too...see Belle in the cup.
Nest reporting duties for me, I see. Belle still sitting in the egg cup. Facing 9.
Looking around, placing flugg.
Hi Patti...and Shirley if you're still here.
She's giving the cup a test drive....tucking in flugg
Hi, Paula!
Oh I can hear the wind. Listen for her chirps...we know she chirps when she lays an egg!
I'll be listening!
Dang that twirly arrow!
First sound I've heard all year!
Knock on wood...no twirlies here today...of course, I'm at work. Decent internet here!
Wind sounds horrible! Sometimes, it sounds like a lion roaring and other times like a revving engine.
Belle still looking relaxed.
She's up, moving sticks around.
Digging in the cup.
Settling back down.
Settled in again, tucking flugg and trying to move sticks out of the way.
Tucking it in.
I think more flugg is called for ☺
Up again. In the IEZ.
Poof!
Nope, someone still in IEZ. Looked away, maybe Shep came in and poofed.
All I see are talons.
Going over the split!
Hi PATTI and PAULA---thanks for the blow by blow ! I see one eagle left up top in the NHZ.
