Bald Eagle-what is it doing on it's nest this early?

Image
I spotted this Bald Eagle on a nest that has been used for several years. As I watched it for a few minutes it was doing something in the bottom of the nest--could it be already repairing the nest? It is early for this behavior. As the nest is at least 500 feet from the road I couldn't see what it was doing even with my spotting scope. I will have to check the nest again to see if I can tell what is happening. (click on each pic to enlarge to see eagle better) SeEtta

Harlan's Red-tailed Hawk in Otero County,CO

Not the best pics especially because they were so back lit but they do show the field marks for the harlani subspecies of Red-tailed Hawk. Top 2 pics show the whitish tail, blackish belly, streaked white chest and white on face surrounding the eye. SeEtta
