Lisa, always lovely pics!  Two times this morning the Hatchery pair has been twittering and perching very close together, but that's as frisky as they seem to get so far.  Unless the cam ops are giving them privacy.  They are doing all the right stuff for a good nest. We'll see if eggs appear mid-Feb.  I know, take a seat on the couch and relax.    :D

Eagle soaring with acrobatics!  About 3:30 this afternoon, over the Pond bluffs.  Spectacular.  Hope someone is getting this on video.

Missed the chat, but here are a couple pics from this morning.  Wild turkeys prancing at daybreak, HD landing with a long stick, and followed by HM who watched from T1.  And a visiting young eagle.

A few morning pics, and maybe a few repeats that STL posted. 

Turkey's behind N2B, HD in nest/HM on T1, HM on T1, and HM perched near N2B

Sunday morning, HD on the nest picking at materials. In tree at base of bluffs, adult BE perched to the left, and a pileated woodpecker to the right, barely visible in the thick branches.
