At 7:36, found Pa and the female already on the nest standing at the rear which was as far back as I could go on the DVR.

Pa to the left branch at 7:46 and flew a minute later. Shortly vocals could be heard in the distance.

Hello I posted these pictures to Guntersville Bald Eagle photography page. Several people suggested this may be the eagle that yall have been monitoring. I saw her this morning around 9:40 am Friday 12-18-2020 on Sunset Drive in Guntersville, AL. She came around the Kiwanas pier from north 431 flying southbound down sunset drive toward hwy 69. I dont know where she went from there I lost her in the trees.

When Ma was gone for parts of the summer in years past ... bet she spent some time at Guntersville!

Cam 1 is down and BCE said would probably remain down over the weekend. Unfortunately, the app cam froze a few minutes ago. So we are down to cam 2 without sound.

Nobody to the nest today until the female arrived at 12:23 this afternoon and Pa seconds later both soaked from the rains today. She aerated the bowl and he moved a stick, then assisted her. She stood a bit, then was lightly vocal and at 12:25 she resumed helping in the bowl. Next she got ahold of a stick on the left rails and Pa went to assist taking it away from her and started walking with it toward the right and got her caught in it for a few seconds. He eventually placed it on the rear curve. Female to the right branch at 12:28 and eased up it till out of sight. Can only see her tail feathers sometimes. Pa continued to adjust the left rails and brought a stick from there to the front rails. Then he adjusted the curve of the front and right rails. She flew at 12:30. He stood a bit, then to the right branch at 12:32 and flew seconds later.

Pa returned to the nest at 1:22 with a multi-stemmed stick that he tried about the different rails before getting tangled up in it and when he freed himself it went overboard at the front rails from his thrust. He adjusted sticks on the front rails, aerated the bowl, then stood. He went to the left branch at 1:39 and flew a minute later.

Pa returned at 4:04 to the nest and moved a stray stick. Female to the left branch at 4:05 and he placed the stick to the rear rails, then they aerated and moved stray sticks about the floor to various rails. A little aeration per the female, then they stood for awhile. She resumed aeration at 4:10 and Pa joined in. The female has eased back onto the rear rails at 4:11 and Pa aerated the bowl a little. They stood a bit. She let out a chirp at 4:12 and flew toward the left seconds later for the day. Pa turned and followed her out for the day. Shortly eagle vocals could be heard in the distance. The nest remains empty as I leave at 11:50 pm during snow flurries.
