The Norths have been wrangling sticks and arranging nest materials this morning.  At about 11:15, MrN brought a nice-sized fish to the nest and ate it all.

Great pics, STL and Phyl

Rewind to noon or so to watch an older sub-adult eagle fly from the far creek bank into the water, then flap-swim across.  It sat on the near edge behind some grasses for quite a while.  Didn't see where it went after that.

MrN has been preening on one of the lower Love Branches since about 3:00 PM.

Thanks Lisa

DNF and Mr. North

Phyl, the Norths were early to rise today, and have been busy with nest work all morning, bringing sticks and grasses.  At about 11:15, DNF claimed a large fish brought to the nest, I think by MrN who had been hovering over the creek just before.

Last year, DNF laid the first egg on FEB 16, that's just 8 days from now! They are definitely getting ready.

The hovering over the stream was really cool.  Here's a video from GABear.

Ginger, thanks for posting GABear's video.

Here's more action that's way better on the rewind or someone's video:
Upside down woodpecker on a limb near the nest at about 1:00 this afternoon.
Herd of deer coming out of the woods on the far side of the creek and traipsing across the pasture, disappearing under the nest tree area.

Also, the older sub-adult perched on a rock at the wide area of the creek, about 4:00. 
Thanks to the cam ops for all this variety.
