We're still waiting for something to happen and the eaglet is sleeping. Guess we're on his/her time.

3:35pm It was a very exciting morning - we really thought Spunky was going to 'do it'. As long as he is still being fed and has night time company, he may wait a day or two. Most of the group wants Spunky to fly tomorrow as it is FLAG DAY !
And that is the day I voted for on the Yahoo poll! He is looking around again, and flapping those wings. He is at the launch pad again.
3:39PM He is at the PAD........Teasing??? Get ready, Sharon
I am ready JO!!
I think he just likes hearing us sing to him.
3:43pm Hey Guys! Ready or not, here I come..................... Go! Spunky! Go!
Hey! Get back on that launch pad!!!
Come on - no hiding! Sun is bright - wind's just right!
Where is Spunky? la, la, la, la..
TOMORROW -------------.......
You crazy acting critter -
Whoops - watch him go by mistakingly missing the launch pad...
I think I can....I think I can....
He looks so serene. I wish I could see what he sees!
LIVE FEED IS GONE AGAIN. STEVE - HELP!!
mine is still on.....
correction, mine is gone....
Quick check from Dad, 'C'mon buddy, let's go!
I was just looking at the ospray cam in CT, it looked something was trying to attack the momma or the babies, she was flopping all over her eggs and babies. I don't how she kept from crushing both. That was way too intense. See, need the live feed back where the serenity is!!
4:09pm 2 in the nest with adult
Live feed goes down and all the babies are back together.
I emailed Steve. Hopefully we will get it back up soon.
4:11pm Maybe they will take Spunky out to eat!
Quite a crowd in the nest....Sharon the osprey Mom has been anxious all day. Poor thing has not had any rest.
TWO visitors! A real tea party. When are the snacks being flown in?
Errr, maybe that was, don't go yet, Mom's bringing lupper!
Too funny, Paula!!
That osprey is pitiful. I am glad we haven't had to go through any of that. I probably would have bailed early on with that!!
Live feed is back!! Thanks so very much.
Parent gone, all siblings together again!
Poor mama osprey, looks like she may be getting some rest now.
4:24pm Love the way Inbetween claims the food...... What in the world is it - it is sooooooooooooo large. She drug it the entire way across the nest. Even left skid marks..... Whoa!
I saw that. Mom brought it in and she jumped on it spread-eagle and laid on it awhile, then dragged it over to the trunk. Whatever it was I think she smothered it first. Good think we don't have audio...
I think the remaining visitor is Ms Inbetween, cause she is eating all the snacks!
Whatever it was, Spunky doesn't seem interested.
4:32pm Spunky is so totaly not interested. Inbetween will be there all evening munching down on whatever. Live feed wasn't on so I can't back up to get a better look at the dinner.
she hasn't come up for air, must be real tasty.
Spunkster is watching something overhead. I was watching the rewind of when the sibling flew off a few minutes ago, you could see their heads going around and then around the tree limb and then you could see the shadow on the right side of the nest, just like it made a complete circle.
Mom osprey is feed ing the chick right now. sooo cute.
It must not be carp then!
Dad is there too. Keeping a good look-out. Definitely fish for dinner.....
How many eggs in the osprey nest. Will anymore hatch. The baby looks pretty big to be having siblings yet to hatch.
From what I saw with the mantling and then quick scarf it up and drag it away...Ms In Between is definitely one strong determined eagle...I think she will be doing just fine in her eagle world!!!!
I think there is 2 more eggs to hatch, Sharon.
I really was afraid Momma Osprey had done something to the baby or eggs today. She was rolling all over them. Guess she knows what she is doing and I certainly do not!
It is a whopper of a fish! Ms Inbetween is really tackling it!
Ms. InBetween probably has the strongest personality of the 3, I think.
Spunky wants some now, but I think she just told him to back off!
That one little osprey baby sure is eating a lot of fish! That is so cute, you are right.
Whatever InBetween is eating, is really huge (or was). Spunky thought about it but I guess he thought he would just wait on leftovers. Not worth the fight!
Spunky looks like he is airing out his arm pits!
Amazing how the osprey and the eagles are so delicate in feeding the babies...really neat to watch for sure.
Sharon there does look like 2 or 3 more eggs, but I agree with you, it might be too late. I've left some msgs for Bird Girl on this site today, I was hoping she would stop by for a visit, she is the one who got me turned on to this site and she seems to know alot about birds. GO SPUNKY! Get in there and get something to eat. Has he eaten at all today??
Okay, WV Gal, that is a little elusive. Now I am curious about what you are speaking about. I am thinking Robert C. but probably not right! I am definitely a proud West Virginia, proud eaglet momster and proud American!! Yeah.
WOW! West Va Gal knows people in high places, I'm impressed.
Mits, I really can't recall but I think he has eaten today.
beautiful scene of mom and dad osprey feeding baby. mom is throwing it down like she is coaxing little on to take some steps over to the food.
Big Boy back now, eyeing up that whopper fish.
Sharon maybe he is eating light today, to gear up for tomorrow...
Hope she is planning on spending the night, she ate so much, she may sink like a rock if she trys to fly.
Ma and Pa need to bring a couple more fish in.
5:20 WV Gal - only one famous Byrd family I know of in your neck of the woods........ WOW...
Well Sharon unless you get it on FRAPS if anything happens today, It won't happen, I think its my real player. i will re download it after dark tonight. For now I am going to try to just watch it while I can see it. Take good notes all.
Just came online--------burst out laughing when I saw all the "little ones "in the nest----NO PLACE LIKE HOME----why leave, looks like mom/dad are keeping them feed----and they know to get them to leave: WITHHOLD THE FOOD-----It's COOL to see them altogether!!!! Spunky is just not ready for this cold, cruel world yet---
5:41pm No hurry, Angie. Hope your day at work went extra fast for you.
Some exciting moments here, but nothing new to report on Spunky's journey that didn't yet take place.
You just knew Mom/Dad was coming, you can follow there heads as they watch for the landing.
5:44pm Come on, Inbetween, just show me how to get started. Something is up there..... Yep! Adult buzzed in!
Inbetween is going to be Too fat to fly! She looks 3 times the size of Spunky. I wouln't tackle her for the food either.
Wouldn't it be great for Inbetween to turn & offer Spunky a mouthful? She should have some motheerly instincts. But then if Spunky isn't hungry = why would there be a take off tomorrow? Looks as though Spunky's nerve is getting up to snatch some. Whoops, gotta move away from this young kid!
Okay everybody, going out until around 9 p.m. Keep good notes for me! Don't think we will have a fledge this evening. If anybody else has Fraps, keep it handy.
Looks like they are having a pow-wow about how it is done!
WV GAL Thank you for allowing us to be part of what you have accomplished. Sen Byrd has given so much during his time in government - I, for one & probably speaking for all the Eaglet Momsters, am proud for him to have the knowledge of what we have been able to avail ourselves through the excellent endeavors of NCTC/FWS facilities. This is an honor to say the least.
Thanks again from a Marylander!
Well at this rate Spunky definitely won't be building up his strength to fly. Well he won't be overweight either, and he has to be getting hungry!!!
Just checking in for a minute. I knew it had to be Senator Byrd. I am so proud of this entire adventure we have been on. Definitely proud to be a West Virginia!!
I've tried to get on the blog forever. NCTC EAGLE LOVER since January. I was wondering, is Spunky getting any of Mom's meals? Looks like the older kids are eating it all, Been worried?
WV Gal, it is on the previous blog for today
new thread is up.... steve has a great picture of something different...
Just read the great news----we have been recognized by SENATOR ROBERT C. BYRD-----He is West Virginia's "BYRD"----He has now served in the Senate longer than any other Senator in the history of the Senate!!!! He is running for another term----
REMEMBER TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER-----
