Video combines ground and cam footage. Video opens with E23 on the inner branch being pestered by a mockingbird (s). E23 leaves, snaps a branch on the way out, and lands in the office oak. Bluejays are nesting; therefore, the jays pester E23. E23 ends up dropping their branch, and heads to the DSPS (drive side pond snag). The shrikes are nesting nearby, so now E23 is pestered by a shrike (s). E23 does some branch hopping, then heads back to the nest tree and the mockingbird. E23 moves from the attic to the outer end of the attic, then to the inner branch, then leaves. CamOps tracks E23 out. E23 rises to to make one soaring pass over the N pasture, then glides right back to the nest tree. Time stamps below, if interested. Click on any time stamp to advance to that part.
