Dad in LY 7:50am (17:39:04), Mom in BD 7:50am (17:39:11). Both acting like nothing has been amiss; pecking around in nest and nestorizing.

Mourning doves on nest 8:42am (18:30:29). Ground report: Jimmy P says the other female was perched on a tree (to the right side, toward the stadium). She watched mom and dad, they left the nest and landed together on Mom's favorite perch. Dad tried to mate with mom, she stared him down. Mom and dad flew off toward Garden Lakes, female flew off toward river. No confrontation this morning. Max went to G/L and saw mom over there. As of 2:00pm, no Eagles in nest area. Dad in 8:09pm, to RYB 8:13pm; spends the night alone. Video: Mom Is Home
