Another fish for Gabby from Samson earlier this morning!! If you get a chance, be sure and watch the video with your sound lowered as Gabby gets a little excited!! So much so, when Samson landed with the fish he had to leave with it just as quick d/t her aggressive fly in with full vocals!! Not to worry ... he returned right away with it. Here is the commentary below the video (Link is showing on chatroll right now. "Samson Brings Fish for Gabby") by flyeagle78_AEF:

"Samson and Gabrielle arrived early this morning to the nest. After a few nestorations, Gabby stayed at the nest while Samson flew.
He later returned to the nest with a headless fish. So likely he had a bit of a snack before coming to the nest with it. Gabby was quick to the nest but Samson immediately took off with the fish. As this happened during NEFL Chat, we were all left to wonder If Samson was going to go finish his fish elsewhere. Within seconds Samson was back to the nest and Gabrielle was quick to grab the fish from Samson as she was not going to give him another chance of flying off with her breakfast. It seemed obvious this was a fish gift for his Gabrielle as he didn’t have to return to the nest with it, knowing Gabby was there and she would take it from him!"

I'm having some troubles getting cam to come in live, but I don't think anyone is home now.

Samson flew at 5:50 and she followed within the minute. You could see him getting "itchy breeches"! It seems he is deciding where they sleep at night, here lately!

gretchen_AEF (Admin): SATURDAY TUCK-IN: We were at the nest watching the 5 deer running wild on the lawn near the nest. They were so amusing. Samson and Gabrielle were perched together and could care less. LOL She was busy preening much of the time. We went over to the LY to see if they would be coming there. At approx 5:50 Samson came gliding in. Then about a minute later Gabrielle came flying 25' over our heads and landed near Samson with sweet vocals. They are fully tucked, and it's peaceful in the Hamlet. SED

Loza, there have been a lot of problems with the cams this year that they just do not seem to be able to resolve. Samson brought another fish for Gabby to the nest and she's eating it now!

I see they have removed the DVR function from the cams. If this is permanent, I hope they give more frequent updates as we no longer can go back to see what happened. I am assuming Gabby has not left the tree, at least since she got the fish from Samson this morning. If that is so, then we are seeing 2 things here possibly. First, Samson is definitely bringing fish gifts to the nest for Gabby and second, Gabby seems to be spending more time at the nest tree today! Time will tell, we can only hope!!

Samson flies to nest at 2:13 then to Sunset Branch. Samson flies at 2:40.
