Ken has had to take the HWF server offline for an hour or so.
12:51 pm
Adult is on the nest incubating - not sure who. Mom was there the last I knew, but there may have been a switch since then.
1:07 pm
Adult up moving around on nest; did not see any unsteadiness so may be Dad. Then adult flew off.
1:12 pm
Adult back - seeing her move towards the eggs, I think it's Mom - and she is moving quite well. This makes me think it may have been Mom who left 5 minutes ago. She paused over the eggs for a moment and was nestled in by 1:14 pm.

Re: Delta2 Observations 2015
The forum is up, and I've posted my observations above on the thread at HWF.
Not sure if it will stay up - Ken may be doing this in stages.

Re: Delta2 Observations 2015
Yesterday April 29 the HWF was down.
I opened the cams at 7:45 to find Pa dozing on the nest, an adult on the hydro tower.
8:53 Pa flies off the nest, adult is still on the hydro tower.
9:14 Nest is still empty, 2 adults noticed on the hydro tower. (likely Pa and Ma)
9:22 Both adults fly off the tower.
9:30 Pa quietly lands on the nest and resettles onto the eggs. Eggs alone 43 min.
9:36 I came into the room to find an adult back on the tower, Pa still on the nest.
10:02 Pa leaves the nest again.
10:03 Likely Pa who lands on the hydro tower with Ma.
10:13 I came back into the room to find both adults off the tower and no one on the eggs. Both eggs remain in the nest.
10:21 I'm out again, no eagles seen on nest or tower.
11:20 Pa's on the nest, no one on the tower. He rolls 1 egg and resettles.
3:15 Pa's brooding.
6:52 Pa's brooding.

Thurs April 30

9:45 I'm out for part of the day.

Re: Delta2 Observations 2015
Thanks so much for keeping an eye on this pair, Sandra! I'm afraid I haven't looked in for a while - nice to be seeing them, and it is important that they have a presence so other eagles will stay away - but also sad.
3:49 pm
Someone is incubating - probably Dad?

Eggs are alone
Keeping fingers crossed that our tech folks are making progress, and we'll be back on our home forum soon.
Good night, all.

Re: Delta2 Observations 2015
Good night Judy. It was very astute of you and Sharon to get ready for what proved to be the inevitable with this forum.
6:29 Pa is back to brooding.
6:48 Pa remains on the eggs. The new hatchlings in the nest downstairs are getting stronger in their calls for food. Pa seems to listen sometimes when they start up.

Re: Delta2 Observations 2015
Hi Sandra, JudyB was the astute one who started the "temp" forum, Pat, Judy (jkr) and I went along for the ride (and to help work out a few quirks!) all the while hoping we would never have to use it! A combined effort by all - just in case!It was very astute of you and Sharon to get ready for what proved to be the inevitable with this forum.
