April 30, 2017 (Sunday)

Bel's Nest Log
(78 & 76 days old). Cam 1 reset 3:25:14. Per TNTalons: B's slept side-by-side in nest from cam reset until 6:19:46 when B-right (B8?) got up for a left wing stretch which caused B-left (B9) to get up, too; B9 wing flaps 6:20:04; looked like both had little PS's 6:20:28; B8 PS out back rail 6:21:27; B9 wingercizes 6:22:02, steps up to Y-nook 6:22:18; B8 wingercizes 6:22:39; B9 wing flaps to LB 6:25:05, then flaps to nest & back, then to right rail; B8 is perched on RB by 6:27:46; B9 to LB 6:29:36; IR light off 6:37:15; B9 up Cam pole 6:43:35, to nest 6:44:46, back to Cam pole, to LB 6:45:33 moves up & out of view; B's all over for the next 15 minutes; B9 to nest 6:58:31 where she lifts her left leg to grab a big stick w/her talon & then chews on it, then tries to drag it around (it actually looks like her talon is stuck) 6:59:04, she continues to wrestle/bite the stick; B8 to nest 6:59:55 to help, the stick ends up on the back rail; B's carry on w/their antics & by 7:46:30, B8 is resting & B9 is out on a limb. Per BEL (ground report): I'm not sure what time is showing on the Camera now but about 8:55 AM a great blue heron flew over and then actually circled the nest a couple of times before landing in a tree not too far behind the nest. Dad brought in some kind of mangled mess (Cam 1 12:59:51), then mom brought in a fish (Cam 1 1:13:10pm). Dad flew toward the river (Cam 1 1:13:34). When mom left (1:52:35) she perched for a few minutes, and then she headed off to soar over the pastures and then for Garden Lakes. Note: B9 jumps to new branch (on left side of nest) 12:38:36pm (I saw it from the ground & looked up time on dvr.) Per JaniBop: cams went down 7:11:22pm.
