Always good to take a second, and enlarged, look at the pics.

About the soarers, thanks Ginger for the info about vultures migrating. I didn't know that. So eagles then.

And what I thought might be broken feather is not; it's definitely the end of a limb, easy to see on the enlarged view. Thanks to Matisse for this info.

The sub-adult this morning (10AM or so) was eating something on the perch. Two crows came to harrass, and I got a fair pic of one of them.  Isn't it grand to have the rewind feature?

A beautiful SA was on the maple and flew over the retention pond to try some fishing.  It did not look like it was successful, as I don't see any fish in its talons.  - Thank you cam ops  :)

Lisa, the sub-a has a following of crows! Guess they know that this bird eats in the branches and might drop some leftovers for them.  Crows are really smart.

DM2 to the nest with a small amount of nesting material.  He moved some sticks around, and took off in the direction of the retention pond.

DM2 remembers that N2B is still there!  Lisa, Great pic of nest material delivery. He didn't stay long on the nest.
