Nice shot Ken.  That angle takes out some of the annoying twigs with shots more east. I'm sure you'll love your new camera, you do a great job with it!

Separately, thanks for all the work you do maintaining such a thorough record of the eagles and making it available to us.  Your latest update is great!  Because of your site, this past year I've become more inspired by the whole bald eagle story in US history.

Regarding the time it takes to confirm eaglet numbers, progress ... I noticed in one of the video clips I took early one morning, sunlight backlit the inside of the nest so well, I could see through "holes" of the nest's rim to at/near the nest base.  As the adult moved i could see the movement in the hole, so was hoping I may be able to detect other movement too.  I don't know if you have experimented with the video in your camera; it's nice how ISO can be cranked-up in near dark conditions and still have good results.  I found that useful if a little early or late for great stills, the video still looked like a champ.
