The Forum Has Moved!

6:57 a.m.: The top of that pine tree is a popular spot (no surprise; it offers a terrific view). It appeared to be empty after the eagle flew off, but now someone is perched there again.



7:02-7:03 a.m.: Ma back in the nest, incubating her egg.

7:00 am - Ma arrives trilling

7:02 am - Ma settles over her egg and watches the skies

Good morning, Tina!:hello:

Looks like another gorgeous day:



7:08-7:09 a.m.: Beautiful Ma, up and about, preening and keeping a careful watch around the nest.

7:19-7:21 a.m.: Ma trills, then shimmies back into the nest bowl and tucks nesting material around her.





Lots of nature sounds (along with the manmade sounds of traffic) as the world wakes up: dogs barking, crows cawing, songbirds singing, woodpeckers pecking (or toads croaking; not sure which), etc. Wonderful!

7:09 am - Ma watches her territory

8:05 am - Ma watches the starling birds that are poking about in the basement


8:06 am - a spider works on her web across the camera, Ma watches the birds

8:32 a.m.: It looks like Ma is gagging, but she's actually wresting loose a tuft of grass/twigs with her beak.



8:33 a.m.: Water is very still, and all is quiet except for occasional sounds of birdsong, construction and traffic in the background.



8:47 a.m. Ma trills as eagle flies by.
