Per chat: A short visit to the nest by Pa late this afternoon just before all 3 cams went down for technical upgrades. It is unknown how long the cams will be down.

Pa and Mom have not been seen on the nest at the same time since late morning on Wednesday the 18th of December. Her last solo visit was late afternoon on Friday the 20th. I can't shake the possibility that she may have started or laid eggs on a 2nd nest. Hopefully we will find out something one way or another soon.

And the cams are already back up. Berry came into chat and posted the following:

Dec 23, 3:45 PM
berry-college (Admin): As a note, all streams are now switched over to Vimeo, which purchased Livestream a while back. Livestream was being discontinued here at the end of the year.

Dec 23, 3:46 PM
berry-college: The service does not currently have DVR capability, which we will check on in January when we return.

Dec 23, 3:48 PM
berry-college: Just keep in mind that some things will feel different with Vimeo. We're watching it to see if adjustments need to be made. The college will be closed until Jan 2.

At 1:20 I noticed the same female intruder that Pa tried to keep off the nest recently is back. There is no DVR yet, so unable to go back and see her arrival. She was noticed by chat at 12:51. Eventually she went to the bowl and is lying in it.

She stayed in the bowl for a very long time, then stood for a short while. 3:42 She flew.

Possibly Pa was on the nest when she first arrived, he flew within seconds. Will try to read back on Berry chat later to see.

Per Chat: Early this morning the young female intruder came to the nest for a short time. Then Pa was seen mid-morning for a short time.

5:04 At this time I saw Pa arrive to the left branch with his back to us. He looked great! He never went down to the nest, just looked around. 5:28 Pa flew.

Really hope Berry is able to add the DVR through Vimeo in January.

No eagle visits to the nest today. I still believe they have another nest and probably have been incubating there since sometime last week.
