Any info from the Atlanta folks about Lun Lun? Are they still thinking she might be having a lil one soon? I hope so!

NillaWafer said...

Just checked on Tai and he is awake and at the milk bar nursing.. About time to close c ya from home in alittle while

belle_wv said...

Check Frieda's nest - she's off the eggs - is one hatching?

belle_wv said...

I wish I could zoom in
she's been off for at least 4 refreshes now

belle_wv said...

back on nest and settling down again - hmmm

wvgal_dana said...

See ya from the main base station Nilla...be safe...lock doors...

belle_wv said...

Off nest again something must be up - they never stay off that long

belle_wv said...

the 'greens' are in the way - can't see the eggs clearly whaaa

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Busy blog here tonight. Got home a little later cause I had to track down my brat. He is in deep s--t Arkansas. Well maybe not that bad, but I think he is grounded for a few days. Got to let him know who is boss and it ain't him!!

Anyway, had to read the blog before going to bed. Heading there now.

Good night, sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine fellows.

paula eagleholic said...

Evening, All!

What's the good word?

wvgal_dana said...

She is off the nest do you see the eggs??

glo said...

Well this is kind of exciting "I think"

belle_wv said...

still off the nest in Brisbane

glo said...

Good night Sharon. Rest well for your really busy day.

paula eagleholic said...

Freida is off the eggs for a moment, better get a quick peek.

belle_wv said...

I can't tell what's going on - seems blurry maybe because one of the eggs is moving? my images are never as clear as some of your smight be from waht I've heard y'all describe There's definitely something going on there though

belle_wv said...

been off the nest for a good long while now in comparison to her usual 20 second stretches
several minutes now

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Just a FYI for all you eagle lovers out there (oh yeah, that would mean all of you), the NU live cam is back up and running. There were eaglets in there a couple of times today. They have had intermittent problems with the live feed but have pictures you can see throughout the day. But, this evening the live feed was back up. Dark there right now though but be sure to check it out tomorrow. You never know.

belle_wv said...

she was off for a minute, then settled back down for a couple minutes, then been off ever since

belle_wv said...

maybe because it is noontime there and the heat of the sun is keeping them warm - but hoping it is because someone is pecking their way out of the shell...

movin said...

Well, I missed most of the Frieda thing, but I did get to see her turn one egg before she settled back down...got the pic.

One of the pictures I posted is now in the latest album in Brisbane...the first one where she is standing up.

Better get dinner etc. ... have a great evening and Friday.

Jim

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I personally can't see but 2 eggs but there could be one hiding there somewhere.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks for the info on the NU nest Sharon, I thought it was down for the season

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

So did I Paula, but checked there a few days ago and saw the still pics. For some reason today I tried the live feed and there it was!! That nest reminds me more of our nest than any other I have seen so it feels kind of homey to me!

paula eagleholic said...

I can't see w/ that plant in the way either, Sharon. Think it is growing!

belle_wv said...

I'm having a hard time making out any eggs clearly think there are two for sure tucked behind the clump of green darn weeds - know she likes them to spruce things up but man they do get in the way of seeing (guess that's her point) Oh well - can't believe she's still off the nest
There she's back

belle_wv said...

Oh well - excitment for the evening...think I should go to bed and get up like I had to work tomorrow and get my work done? Hmmmmm sounds like a grand idea - but I'm betting pillow will win in the morning

paula eagleholic said...

I see Freida is back now, didn't catch her come in, was trying to catch up on the blogs. Ya'll have been busy since I left!

wvgal_dana said...

Well that was interesting...she was off nest a long time...finally came back....walked over top where I thought I could see atleast one egg..tucked head down towards her belly like pushing eggs under her and plopped down.

Mema Jo said...

Man! - you all have been busy.
I have only been over on emails
for a short period of time....


I'M PROUD OF YOU ALL
Now I better go read what it was you
were talking about this time!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Norma, Andrew nor I like rap but we loved "The Gold and Blue". Thanks very much for that.

Good night, really this time!

paula eagleholic said...

Jo,
You have more email!

Mema Jo said...

OK - I going to check email.

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, did everyone go to bed without saying goodnight?

paula eagleholic said...

Guess my fingers aren't as fast as my thoughts,

I will be hitting it soon also!

glo said...

Well I see freida has sort of settled down on the eggs again now. Hmmm Thought we were gonna have some reall excitement there for a while. Won't be long til we get to watch some little fuzz balls, at least with the 10 sec still. That'll help us pass a little time in apretty cute way.
I'm off to bed. Good Night all.

Good Morning Suzanne Hope you have a safe NOT too rainy ride to work...or are very busy in your computer room LOL.

NillaWafer said...

Perhaps a egg is hatchinggg. Geeez now i will be on egg hatchin watch all night..lol

floralgirl said...

Well, Redskins lost again. Husband still convinced they are hiding their greatness til the real season! Time will tell. Nite All.

paula eagleholic said...

Nilla,
She was off them for a little while earlier, Belle thought something might be happening then. I think it is too early yet for the chicks, couple of 5 days yet at best.

paula eagleholic said...

Well, all, going to bed. Too tired to stay up any longer.

Good Morning, Suzanne

Jo, talk to you tomorrow!

NillaWafer said...

Oh Floral i didnt watch it but was hoping yeah i agree hiding it for the real thang baby...Heads are gona roll you can beleive that Floral....lol Paula u watching her? I agree afew more days but with mother nature you never know

Mema Jo said...

I think it is time to Hit the Hay!

Goodnight all my eagle buddies.
Don't forget to turn you calendars


Night Nilla

Good morning, Suzanne
(if it isn't raining too hard)

Bird Girl said...

8:55 pm Arizona time, Frieda is puffed out over her eggs, her rear end to the camera. Looking over her shoulder. She's so cute -- can't wait to see those babies!


mauley I'll be 34 this year. I remember being 12 years old and thinking that 30 was just horribly ancient. The night before I turned 30, I was a mess -- it was the end of my twenties, and I'd never be "twenty-something" ever again. When I woke up the next morning, I thought, "I just don't even care about how old I am anymore." Plus, I consider my birthday as a post-cancer anniversary, sort of a "starting over" birthday. So, this year, I'll be NINE YEARS OLD! Hahahah!!!

Gotta run... hafta get up early to help Jody take some juvenile Great Horned Owls to flight training at Adobe Mountain. I'm going to try to take pictures of some of the place so you all can see it (Jody's and Adobe). Maybe I can talk the boss up there to let me see Montana -- maybe even get her on a glove or a perch next to me so I can send the picture to all of you! Cross your fingers...


9:01 pm... Freida got up for a stretch and to turn the eggs... still three eggs, no hatchlings yet... few more days, I would think... someone better watch closely and get a picture when they do hatch!

Bird Girl

Bird Girl said...

Frieda is quite fidgety, getting up and changing position and rearranging every few minutes... I wonder if she's feeling the chicks moving around in the eggs, and she's checking to see if they've hatched...

Okay, now I'm REALLY going to go to bed... honest, I am!

Bird Girl

Mema Jo said...

BIRD GIRL
Your pic changed into a great horned owl......... I sure do like him looking at me!

NillaWafer said...

Morning Del well i am watching Freida and i know should be more time few days at least but she certainly is been kind of yancy ,, up n down rollin eggs .. We are xpecting massive rain here 5 - 10 inches from the hurricane coming up the east coast or should i say tropical storm either or..lol Ohhh i hope you can get one of you and Montana what abeautiful eagle.. i am xcited thinking about it for you.. Yeah i know what you mean about being reborn kind of guess my heart problems n stents and stopping smoking is my rebirth in away havent thought of it that way but true.. Well better go check on Freida.. Take care Hugs , Nilla

NillaWafer said...

Jo whatcha doin still up?lol watching Freida to?

NillaWafer said...

She seems to be trying to take anap

NillaWafer said...

Jo I been over looking at video of pets n animals on the site the panda sneeze is on.. I watch that several times aday and laugh..lol

Mema Jo said...

I always play solitaire & then check back to see if anyone else came by.
Glad I caught Delphia & you!
I just told myself - you better get to bed! I couldn't win my solitaire games tonight. Just didn't have the right cards.
Once again you need to hear:
WE ARE PROUD OF YOUR NOT SMOKING
NILLABEAN


Goodnioght for realllllllllll ..

Mema Jo said...

You can see how tired I am - couldn't even type GOODNIGHT correctly.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeee Byeeeeeeeeeee

Now my fingers are getting heavy and won't jump off the keys quickly.

GOOD MORNING AGAIN SUZANNE
(if it isn't raining too much)

NillaWafer said...

NITERS JO I AM JUST ABOUT TO PLAY POP IT ON POGO.. WAITNG FOR MY PASSWORD FORGOT IT..

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning all. Trying to get started working but it sure is early!

Make a good day everybody. Remember, do random acts of kindness. The rewards are great. Right Mema Jo?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning, Suzanne! See any birds yesterday?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Tai is awake on the ledge eating bamboo. 5:07 a.m.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Wonderful report. Can't wait to see the pics!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Remember Suzanne, this is Friday and a long weekend!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, for some it may be a long weekend but I have to work Sunday and Monday. Off tomorrow though but probably will have to do some OT tomorrow.

floralgirl said...

Good morning Suzanne and Sharon. BRB ,gotta wake daughter up for school.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

There is an eaglet in the NU nest!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning FloralGirl!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yes, I got 300!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

There is a small black bird that keeps coming in the NU nest and the eaglet keeps chasing him out. Brave or stupid bird, don't know which.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Eagle Watchers
Suzanne sounds like you had a great Eagle day yesterday. I'm jealious lol kidding.

When I kept asking about the eagle pic yesterday. It was that I thought in here you had an eagle pic by your name lol senior moment.

wvgal_dana said...

Mits better wait it out in DC. Ocean city cams show high waves and rough.

wvgal_dana said...

See only 2 people on the boardwalk usually this time in am lots.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Now there are 3 black birds in the nest with the eaglet. He keeps chasing them out. It is so funny. Hope one doesn't end up as breakfast!

wvgal_dana said...

Person standing out at Rehoboth Beach you can see his shirt is all twisting from the wind.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Now the blackbirds are dive bombing the eaglet. If he just had a little more training, I am afraid they would pay the ultimate price for that!!

wvgal_dana said...

Sharon doesn't that make you think; if he is still around there.
Ours are probably still around the tree too. Especially since S.W. said he seen them.
Maybe after storm is over I can get husband to drive me down there.

wvgal_dana said...

Just checked on Lil Smurf. He was in nest nice and dry there. Flew off probably to get himself breakfast.

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle flew off in NU nest and now 3 blackbirds are all around in there. Almost like they are picking at pieces of food crumbs.

wvgal_dana said...

Tai and Mei are out in the yard. Cam isn't zooming in on them yet.
Tai's not up a tree yet either.

Anonymous said...

Where is everyone? Here I come!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

My baby towhee is back out here. My favorite bird, besides eagles of course!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Make that 2 baby towhees!

wvgal_dana said...

Sharon ty for the hint about NU Eagle and the blackbirds. I was able to go and enjoy watching.
About what size is the baby towhee?

Mauley said...

Nilla, you are so wonderful and remember that His strength is perfect, when our strength is gone, and that you can do all things through Christ who stengthens you, and I have prayed daily that God take your craving away in the name of Jesus. My prayer buddies are so proud of you, and we all say "Way to Go, Nilla." Bird Girl, what a testimony. I thank God for your healing. I will love being 58 next year. Come on 60!!!!!! Your testimony was a blessing for me today. I wish I had read it last night, and I would have had a sweet sleep. Thanks for sharing with us. We really have so much to be thankful for, and God has blessed us with His creatures to be good stewards of. Mema Jo, you are a blessing to all of us. Do you get tired of listening to all of our dialogue. Love to all this am. Hope I am first. I love wax. Love donna

Mauley said...

Suzanne, you are so blessed to see the eagles, and I am so envious that you will have to forgive me.Sharon I have the rufus sided towhee and I love them so much that I bought the Ray Harm print of them. When I love something so much, I try to buy an art print by some good artist I like, Like Ray Harm or Charles Spaulding, or local artist here, Mitchell Tolle, to celebrate my love for them. That's why I want a Todd picture of our eagle family so I may mat and frame and put in my gallery to cherish (Hint Hint to someone out there.)

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Suzanne stay alert on that road. You'll be tempted but don't look up. Straight ahead today gal..safe journey to home.
And ty love...as UK gals say....oh and everybody get your wellies out.
Where are those gals again?
Guess Sharon is trying to get her work done. Told about the baby towhee but didn't come back to tell me about it's size...they get 7-9 1/2" but that's a baby wonder if it is size of a sparrow?? Oh well keep wondering dana lol

wvgal_dana said...

Ok Ok Jo I deleted....don't want you to have to guess who did that..hee hee

Nilla wait tell Jo comes in and reads "roving panda cam driver". Jo will wonder, "Who is doing that this early already". Her guessing game will start with you. Then she'll think well Sharon was in, oh and Paula too. Jo thinking, "which brat is it"???? lol

Anonymous said...

I can't help you, but I will phone ASAP, and tell them to plug in a different cam operator. Thanks for letting us know your sad state of being.

Anonymous said...

just a helpful little participant to start your day off with a grin. Don't scowl, it wrinkles your forehead...some of you have been looking a little wrinkled. It's NOT halloween yet LOL, or is that TEE...HEE

paula eagleholic said...

Baby smurf has that darn fish stuck in the talons again!

paula eagleholic said...

He took off w/ the fish

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Nilla, if you click on the 56K link, the live feed will come up. It is just intermittent problems and has been working well this morning. It was wonderful seeing the eaglet even though it had to fight off the black birds.

The towhees are about the size of the parents now.

I have been working hard since 4 a.m. I have to leave at 11 to go to the hospital to train a new girl so have to get my time in before then. No slacking today, no time to make it up later! Ball game tonight, I am sure in the rain. That is okay, those babies in the band can play in any type of weather (except thunderstorms of course).

Mauley said...
