6:33 am Scout lands in the nest
6:34 Bella lands in the nest.
Scouts eyeing the leftover fish, Bella starts nibbling at it. Scout fluffs her egg bole.
6:37 Scout stats nibbling at the leftovers, Bella tells him to stop, he didn't listen.
6:38 Bella exits the nest to the DCT. Scout’s eating leftovers.
6:57 Bella in geese heard flying by 
7:00 Bella exits toward NCTC Buildings/River.
7:02 Scout exits to the DCT.
9:06  Bella arrives first looked like she may have had something small in one of her talons will have do rewind to see. Bella does some digging in the egg cup.
9:08 Scout joins Bella at the nest. Scout brought a stick. He moves up to the front porch and deposits it there. Bella digs and Scout works on the crib rails on the opposite of the nest, he is funny to watch.
9:10 Ooopsy Scout got carried away and places a stick to close to the edge and overboard it goes.
9:11  Bella is perched on the crib rails on the front porch, watchful then she moves back into the nest. Bella has a bit of blood on the end of her beak likely from eating leftover fish. Bella moves back onto the front porch rails, watching toward the grove.
9:13  Bella starts to issue her mating chant she moves closer to Scout but he is not interested so she becomes quiet again, works on the bole instead
9:15 am Scout exits suddenly. Bella hops up to the crib rails at the front porch watching toward the grove of trees to the left of the nest. Something peaked her interest in that direction earlier too.
9:17  Bella moves over to the egg cup pokes around a bit; moves some fluff.
Scout returns. Together they work on the egg cup.
9:21  They are both watchful and quiet. Bella exits then
Scout out of sight.

1103 am Scout lands with a bundle of bedding then Bella arrives with some too.

1105 am Bella wants to mate, she moves right into Scout’s space and gives him the foot, he vocalizes a bit but no mating occurs. All is forgiven and they get back to working on the nest.

1108 am Scout exits the nest. Bella stays put she is panting a bit. Bella has a full crop and a fullness about her.

1111 am Scout returns with a branch. Bella is working on the egg cup now. Oh boy Scout is rearranging sticks again hopefully he does not loose anymore today 😉 Scout has a nice crop too, they must have eaten at the river.

1115 am Scout is out again. Bella stays put.

1116 am Ohh there she goes nest is MT again.
