Hello everybody. Welcome to the new thread!

Mema Jo said...

Thank you for inviting me. Steve is working overtime tonight. Thanx, Steve.

belle_wv said...

Thanks for the new thread, Steve. I hope you get to go home soon!
Think this thread will last us the weekend?

Mema Jo said...

I'm sure! You know how far we have taken them before!
I wonder if Sunny saw Steve over at NCTC this evening.............

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I think it is Spunky and BigBoy. I could be wrong as I have been maybe once in the past. :)

Mema Jo said...

Hi Melissa: I think you are looking at BigBoy at 12:00 in the nest. And under the cam should be Spunky having a meal. Just guessing on the one Under the Cam. Sharon will also respond to you I'm sure.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yeah, Jo, critters is much easier to spell!

Mema Jo said...

I would like to see all three together again - I really think due to the size of MsInbetween that she is female. I am noticing on BigBoy and now on Spunky those little white stripes (feathers) on their shoulders - I wish that Steven Wunderley would give us his educated guess on the sex of these 3.

Mema Jo said...

Did you see that... Big Boy got a big mouthful...... Must be fish, Sharon. Turtles don't go that far!

Mema Jo said...

DO yo see SPIDEY over by the tree at BigBoy.....????????

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Am I seeing a light or Spidey?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I'm thinking fish too. They don't normally get turtles in pieces.

Did you just see the camera move a little bit. They are hollering up at somebody and that somebody just appeared. There you go, Jo, all 3 in the nest again!

belle_wv said...

Yippee!

There'shope for me after all. My guess of "who's who" agreed with the experts!

Is that white blob that was crawling upward toward 11 o'clock the spider?

Three in the nest and mantling by Big Boy!

Mema Jo said...

There he goes - out of picture range... Didn't anyone but me see SPidey................WHOA! Third eaglet in the nest MsInbetween Eveyone else mantled their food but MsInbetween must have brought her own...............

Mema Jo said...

No No No....don't be that way -Inbetween is snitching Spunky's food................ She didn't bring anything in..... There goes Spunky away from big sister............

belle_wv said...

Miss Inbetween is trying to steal the food from Spunky now - looks like she might've been successful - yep Spunky just wandered to the center.

belle_wv said...

Caught a skirmish out of the corner of my eye, but I couldn't tell what happened, someone left it looks like?

Mema Jo said...

Well, BigBoy has had enough - out to find his branch.
MsInbetwee is getting comfortable in the nest & Spunky is out of there.

belle_wv said...

There goes Big Boy now
Just one left in the nest

Anonymous said...

OK, I think it was Spunky who left first, then BigBoy, and Ms Inbetween looks tired after grabbing away the food...

Mema Jo said...

Earlier that was either Spidey, a turtle ghost or Sunny under the tree trying to spotlight the nest. HA HA

Mema Jo said...

Off to eat some ice cream.....

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

You can see Spidey's web glistening. Too bad eagles don't eat spiders! Oh, that probably wasn't too nice.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Has anybody besides me (still not tripping, not today, I swear) seen the camera move a little bit like somebody is right at it. It has happened a couple of times this evening and I don't recall seeing that happen before.

belle_wv said...

LOL Jo,

That blob did look a bit like a turtle climbing up to the great turtle haven in the sky now that you mention it...

Maybe Sunny was providing the 'light' for the spirit to crawl toward??

The way the leaves at 1 through 3 oclock are waving, it looks like shimmering lights soothing Ms Inbetween to sleep. Wonder if anyone else will come in to sleep for the night? Or do they have dibs on who gets the 'nest' each evening or is it in roationi, maybe?

Have a good night everyone. I've enjoyed having a day of vacation where I could actually watch and participate finally! Off to hike some on the AT in the morning, so I'll probably be back here recovering in the afternoon...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

9:04 p.m. Come back. We don't want an empty nest tonight!

Mema Jo said...

Sharon - Did you actually see her leave the nest? I thought she would be there throughout the night. Guess the show is over for today. It's been very active and entertaining.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Jo, I did actually see her fly the coop!

Mema Jo said...

Got the movie on my email - Great!

Mema Jo said...

Well, I guess VickyWVGal has already had her fortune cookie & that MITTS has already had her dessert cake at the shower... & Sunny should be home soon from NCTC... I guess we're holding down the fort......... Are you doing any work, Sharon...? I forget what Paula is doing...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Man, now that looks like a big ole storm going through there!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yeah, I am working. Just about to finish up though!

Mema Jo said...

9:37pm Sharon - watch the Live Eagle Cam as it refreshes......... Spidey has outdone himself tonight.......

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Pretty leaves, huh? I bet Spidey is having fun now!

Mema Jo said...

Oh, Sharon I see what you mean on the Live Feed....... Is it really raindrops... Such interference..We could lose it...........Whoa!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I hope our camera lives through this!

Mema Jo said...

Looks like 4th of July fireworks early

wvgal_dana said...

9:40 Got back here and company came along for awhile. Just got chase to catch up on the greatttt notes taken on last thread and this one. ty
Is is only mine is "live feed" down?
I have tried (boy do I wish I knew how to change my user name to "Vicky"West_va_gal....sure would make me very HAPPY.

"Vicky" w.va.gal

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Vicky, did you go to "edit profile" and change it on the display name?

wvgal_dana said...

OK finally got "live feed" up what a light show. If Sunny isn't back she must be at bottom of sycamore tree with a "spot light". lol
Chinese and crabs were great...fortune cookies were so funny; there was 9 of us my Mom included and she is 80 yrs old. She had such a good time..that made me so happy to see her laughing and enjoying herself; even with some people she did not meet before.
Guess you want to know what mine said; "Something thrilling is going to happen to me".. hummmmm

"Vicky" w.va.gal
I am tired of typing that if anyone can tell me how to change the ID for in here emal me at
West_Va_gal@yahoo.com

Mema Jo said...

9:51pm The rain from Shepherdstown has reached Middletown - but it isn't a storm. Just enough to run my cats to the back door...

Mema Jo said...

I am so happy for you Vicky w.va.gal that you have such enjoyable time. Yes, we were wondering what the fortune cookie message was for you...Thanks for sharing.....Look forward to that message coming true!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Vicky, did you see my previous post?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

This is a test!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Worked for me, Vicky!

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Sharon ty "edit profile" change it on the display name but where??? for in here????

"Vicky" w.va.gal

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yes, in here. I just clicked on my name at one of my posts, went to my blog (such as it is), clicked on edit profile, went down to display name and then changed it to shurnlea.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

This is another test!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well kids, I am going to bed now. Have to work some in the morning. Vicky, I hope you get that to work. Stuff like that just aggravates the crap out of me when I can't figure it out.

wvgal_dana said...

I'm am about to try this to see Sharon if I have caught onto what you was telling me. Finger crossed.
10:11pm on one in nest.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

YEAH!! IT WORKED!!

wvgal_dana said...

It worked I can follow instructions. Oh Goodie.
Now my "teacher" Sharon how can I change it like that for yahoo mail and for the Momsters yahoo group???

Mema Jo said...

Vicky wvgal I love it..........! I am also about to sign off for the evening....... I will probably check back in before going to bed - but I'll talk to you two sometime late morning. Glad you have both have had good days. Sleep peacefully........LOL

wvgal_dana said...

Night Jo sweet Eagledreams

wvgal_dana said...

10:24 no one sleeping at home.
Thank you Sharon for helping me. Sure is better not to have to type all that. Very nice work you did for me Sharon again ty.

Anonymous said...

reporting in....I saw Nothing with a capital "N" at NCTC. No birds flying, nothing at the nest, nothing...... :-( Oh, but I did see a couple of turtle shells in the nest (I think) on the big screen in the building!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Sunny, I hate you didn't see anybody!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Really going to bed now. Will blog with you tomorrow!

wvgal_dana said...

Wow Sunny that is great you could see in the nest---lol I know your not that tall. You said with the big screen in the building. Sorry the eaglets and eagles weren't around to show off for you.
Sharon Sweet Eagledreams...

paula eagleholic said...

did everyone go to bed yet?

paula eagleholic said...

I guess so, see you tomorrow!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good night Paula!

Geula said...

GOOD MORNING, Eagle Lovers! I'm akways first here, considering that it's already 12:30ish pm here and you're all probably still asleep.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

6:00 a.m. Good morning Geula. Empty nest this morning but there was quite a bit of excitement yesterday evening. Maybe they will come in for breakfast this morning.

Anonymous said...

6:15 a.m. Good Morning to everyone. Empty nest, I missed all the excitement yesterday, what happened?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Cindi, there was just a lot of aggressiveness by the eaglets for food. At one point, a parent flew in followed by 2 eaglets and they knocked the parent right off the side of the nest. Spunky even got to steal some food from one of his siblings. We went for a few hours without seeing anybody and then when it hit, it hit!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morningt - Just checking in on my way to the loo -- Hold down the fort as I am probably headed back for another hour of shut eye. Hi Sharon, Cindy & Geula!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning Jo. I am not sure about your trips to the loo. It has been my experience you disappear for hours when you go there.

6:46 a.m. All is still quiet in the nest. The only things moving are the leaves. Cross/X is gone. Actually it is not gone, just moved over to the right side of the nest.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

7:05 A.M. I see one of the babies at 12 o'clock out in another tree flapping its wings. How cool is that.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I saw 2 in the periphery flying. That is so cool. I saved them on fraps of course!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Breakfast delivered by parent followed by 2 siblings and one of them is eating. The other one is flying around.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I think it is fish for breakfast. Mantling happening.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

There were 3 in the nest for just a few seconds and the last one in went back out pretty quick.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Am I by myself this morning?

Geula said...

2 sibs in the nest now...a third tried to get in but they seemed to flap him away. One is mantling, one is contimplating (sp?)

Geula said...

you are never alone, Sharon...even if we're not here, we thinking about you! AWWWWWWWW!

Anonymous said...

2 of the Eagles are in the nest? Can't tell who??? It's good to see them. Smiles !!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thank you Geula!

Geula said...

I'm about to disconnect my computers and put then on one bigger table, instead of having them on 2 tables that aren't the same height. Then I'll get the local techie to connect my second computer to the internet.....sooooooooo my dear grandson (dgds) won't use MY new(er) computer for his games and stuff. he downloads all kinds of things from the internet and it takes me 3 weeks to get my 'puter back to it's old self.

wvgal_dana said...

7:39am we have 2 in nest Spunky 6 o'clock and MsInBetween 9 o'clock position.
Good Morning Eagleland !!! We have action...of course I just woke haven't read comments so maybe there has been action all morning.

Geula said...

YW! bbl. hey, I bet I coul hold a whole conversation with just acronyms! or almost, at least

wvgal_dana said...

7:46am Ha stole that from you my dear sibling. Think it was Spunky stealing from MsInBetween.

wvgal_dana said...

Ok don't mind being proven wrong. Good Morning Sharon,Geula, Cindi, Jo (that went to lool and fell in) also GM to those watching, reading, and not commenting. Sharon, anone suggestions whose where?

Anonymous said...

7:55. 3 in the Nest!

wvgal_dana said...

7:57 Wow what a fly in, thought a ramble was going to start with all that feather raising.
Maybe this is right Spunky 1 o'clock, MsInBetween was right in front of him and Bigboy at launch pad.

wvgal_dana said...

8am looks like MsInBetween decided not to stay, just flew off. Leaving Spunky and Bigboy. Oh Spunky moved toward Bigboy who is eating and Bigboy just mantled its food. Spunky sitting there like; "I waiting for my chance to steal this, I know it will come sooner or later. I just have to wait my chance".

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Sunny....Sharon no talking so I think she is getting this on Flaps. Jo went to loo and I think Geula step away for awhile or is "lurking".

wvgal_dana said...

I do have to say Spunky's feathers are getting slicker looking. He has lost alot of those baby feathers. Which is good, very good.

Anonymous said...

I haven't see any one for a couple of days, gone before they arrive and home after dark..It's so good to see our kids are still returning home. I've been enjoying watching the owl's, they are cute and have such funny expressions.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Not frapping right now, just working. Trying to get my work in because I have to go on a long road trip today so it is going to be a long one.

wvgal_dana said...

Ok Sharon I have gotten some shots off of "still"..
I just know Spunky is waiting his time out to steal that. Could be wrong. Really lately anything can happen in that nest with all the action lol.
Jo goes loo and you drive off a could bit. What's up with you two lol?
Hi Cindi
8:14 Spunky makes his move to steal it did he succeed? I think he GOT it !!! Did he anyone self see if he did??

wvgal_dana said...

Help who is who? 8:17 am 3rd one just flew in again. Such action this morning.

wvgal_dana said...

I think it brought its own food with it.

wvgal_dana said...

Sorry did not get "still pic" of 2 leaving around 8:26-27; one left in nest.
My computer froze from all the action. lol

wvgal_dana said...

8:30 I think nest is now empty last one flew out.

wvgal_dana said...
