Thanks so much for your reports, Bev - happy to see that you and Darlene are able to do some zooming!

I wanted to make sure that everyone knows that all zoomers and observers are welcome to post here - once you've registered and been approved (which may take a few hours as we're not always online), you can sign in and use the red "Post Reply" button at the bottom left or top left of the page to make your post.

Because there are just a few of us watching at this point, it's fine with me if zoomers just post here when they are using one of the cams - and please do post if you're available to zoom - I know Bev and Darlene are happy to share!

There is also a HM zoomer thread from 2015 that could be used if this gets too confusing - whatever works for all of you is fine with me!

7:45 am
Zoomer has found an eagle! My guess is Mom because he/she looks large and sort of rounded - but the male we've been seeing is also large, so it's hard to tell!

And I apologize for the fact that only admins can add photos at present - I don't have as much space as HWF has for pictures.

And South zoomer just found three eagles perched together near the river, and one flew off, then what looked like a juvie I hadn't seen flew off (I didn't see any white), and two were still there. I didn't get a picture of that - cam was having trouble staying in focus at that distance with the wind.

7:52 am
The adult on the branch just flew off, and I think I saw her(?) fly right to left on the South cam just after she left the branch.

Good morning everyone. I am in on the south cam. I finally found my way here. Here is the video from the other day of a clumsy mating between Ma and new guy! I assume he is young lol!

Clumsy mating

Good Morning Judy and you are welcome....I usually do my scheduled zooming time and if I don't see the N Cam moving I will zoom later again .. and thanks for posting the picture of Mom and your observations .... No worries about us not being able to post pictures here .....we all understand your space here is limited .... I can save pictures .....or do a Videomark.....I hope that is OK!
I am happy to share anytime with another zoomer who wants to zoom ! I always sign in here and post when I leave .

ADDED....Good Morning Darlene..Happy to see you here... and thanks for the video

Hi Bev! Lots of eagles on the flats. I hope this is a good indication of what it will be like during the Eagle Festival in a few weeks!
