Both in for nestorations this morning and evening, plus Pa brought in a log this morning that he nearly stumbled backwards with as he struggled to get it across the nest floor.

Both were in this morning for nestorations, but nobody came in this evening. Not even Pa for his nightly nest check that I could see.

Both in this morning for nestorations and they had several spats during their work. Pa came in this evening for a short while to check on the nest before flying out for the night.

Both in this morning for nestorations. Pa showed up mid-morning with a headless fish to the nest. Mom didn't come in and he ate the whole thing before flying out. He returned this evening and eventually Mom came in, but could hear some distressing vocals from her on the way in. Turns out another bird could be seen flying from the rear and up and over the tree as she was flying in from the left. It was a large bird, but did not look as big as Mom and possibly not as big as Pa. Pa alerted. Within seconds from the app cam you could see it cut in front of the nest tree from top right to bottom left and exit the screen. Pa went to the left branch for awhile and Mom aerated. Pa returned to the nest. Then they stood and watched. Later on from another source, I saw it fly in behind and away from the nest tree. Never did Pa or Mom offer to give chase to this bird and I am unsure what kind of bird it was, but seemed to be a raptor of some sort. When Pa flew, 1st he went to the left rear, branch and when Mom went to the left branch, he flew out. Then Mom flew out and vocals could be heard shortly from them in the distance.

Pa and Mom both came in this morning for nestorations and were quite busy. Later in the morning Pa returned with a squirrel and Mom arrived just a few short seconds later to snatch it from him and then she proceeded to eat the whole thing. She stayed for awhile after Pa left with this visit. Pa was in and out with sticks a few more times and spent some time in the bowl and brought the fluff forward to his body during one of those visits. He came back in one more time just before dark and worked in the bowl and adjusted the rails before flying out for the night.

Pa and Mom had a very busy nestoration morning. Pa also came back in for a 2 minute visit to bring yet another stick to place later in the day. And both came in for a short working visit just before dark this evening and after they flew off vocals could be heard in the distance after reaching their roosting destination for the overnight.

Per chat, both were in this morning for nestorations with some sticks being brought in. They did not have as busy an early morning as yesterday however. Mom arrived this evening with Pa following her in. Just a little aeration mainly. Pa laid in the bowl, so Mom crouched down on the nest beside the bowl. They stood awhile, then Pa flew out for the evening and shortly Mom flew after standing a bit.

Pa in 1st this morning per chat with a stick to place. Mom came in several minutes later. Pa flew off 1st and sometime later Mom. Pa returned this evening at 7:07 with Mom following him in. Pa moved some sticks and aerated the bowl and soon she joined in. She crouched over the bowl for a bit. They didn't do a whole lot of work. Pa flew at 7:13 and she at 7:14.

This morning was the busiest with nestorations from Pa and Ma that I have seen so far this season. Multiple sticks and some fluff were brought in. And trim work from both on some of the stickups. They also stopped by this evening before flying off toward the rear for the night. After they reached their destination to roost, vocals from both could be heard.

Per chat, Pa in at 7:52 this morning. I came in at 8:02 and saw him on the nest. He went to the left branch at 8:03 and flew seconds later at 8:04. Mom to the nest at 8:05 with a stick and flew out for the day at 8:08. Pa back to the nest at 8:50 with a fluff delivery and spread it some and aerated the bowl, then a small bit of rail work. He flew at 8:56 for the day. I am not surprised at their lighter work day and visits as they worked for a long time yesterday morning and were so, so busy on the nest.

Pa and Mom took a break from nestorations today as they did not come in this morning. Mom did arrive to the nest this evening at 7:07 with Pa arriving almost simultaneously. They aerated the bowl. Pa adjusted the rails a bit, then they aerated and moved fluff about the bowl. Afterwards both stood. Then Pa worked with the fluff against the rails. Mom to the left branch at 7:14, then a snite from Pa and Mom flew out for the evening. Pa to the left branch at 7:15 and flew out for the day at 7:16.

A very busy day as far as visits to the nest. And while some work was done, not as much as the other morning. Pa made 3 visits to the nest this morning, bringing a stick on his 2nd visit and then a headless fish on the 3rd. He waited a long time for Mom to show, but she didn't come in and he ate part of the fish before leaving. Mom made 2 visits this morning and the 2nd one was shortly after Pa left from his fish visit. She did a little work before eating the fish he had brought in. Pa returned early this afternoon and Mom was a minute behind him. They did some work and Pa gleaned fish bits from the floor. They both returned this evening to the nest and did a little work before heading out for the day.

Well both came in this morning, but not on the nest together. Pa ate a few little bits of fish he found on the floor during his 1st short visit. Mom came in after he left and did a little nest work before leaving. Then Pa returned with a stick to place and that was all we saw of them today.

They did not show up this morning for the usual visit. Pa did show up with a stick to place for a very short visit at 4:41 this afternoon. Then Mom came in this evening and shortly Pa for nestorations and spats in between before flying out for the night. Rocky also was on the nest gleaning fish bits this evening and exploring from 9:24-9:50.

Both were in 3 times to the nest this morning. The 2nd visit Pa brought something in to eat and Mom came in and took it to eat. On her third visit she ended up staying around for 2 hours. They did not return this evening.

Both were in with multiple visits for nestorations this morning bringing sticks, a pine bough and fluff. They returned early this eve for more nestorations and Pa brought another stick. About an hour after they left an eagle could be seen at 6:40 and flew up on the left in the rear toward a tree and was vocal with a response from the other one who was obviously further back and not seen, but sounded as if from where they normally roost for the night.
