The male has been in and out from the nest and returned to mate with Mom before taking off again.
If he's going to mate he'd better learn how to build a nest

Morning All

Hey Judy, remember when Mom was the "new bride" and she just stood around - often in the middle of the nest getting in the way - watching Dad bring in material (and human clothing articles) and build the nest.

I am assuming that this is a "new groom" and has not built a nest. (Another mating just occurred) He doesn't know his responsibilities. Mom is going to have to encourage him to do his chores. Being a Mate is not just "love action"

I am not going to be home for several hours mid day so please, would someone make sure to post any events. I will set the recorder, but sometimes the video transmission stops and there is nothing recorded.

A bit of progress had been made with another stick added to the nest. I haven't been watching full time so I'm not sure what time it arrived

BET, at 12:06 pm Mom reacted as two birds immediately flew overhead --- I only caught a glimpse but one may have been an osprey chasing either another osprey or another bird. If you have video could you please check. It happened so fast I really didn't get much chance to figure out what happened.

12:08 p.m.
A shadow appeared and from the direction Mom glanced it may have been Dad arriving to perch on the top of the camera housing. (Maybe I shouldn't be calling him Dad just yet but he's trying )

12:10 pm
Mom leaves the nest and headed to the left over the river.

12:15 pm
Back again -- empty taloned.

12:18 pm
Both home now....Dad has arrived

Mom is contending with a stubborn stick which is standing vertical on the nest. She did finally manage to break it off so that it would lay down for her.

She is still not happy with it so now she has pulled it over to the left side of the nest.

12:29 pm
Mom flew off over the river again. Dad is still perched on the rim
