6 Days and Counting!

Dana,
They are not sure how long between mating and egg laying.

Eggs take 35-38 days to hatch.

I don't remember them doing any shots of down inside the nest in Florida. Does anyone?

Sorry Paula couldn't hang onto that moving tree, didn't get up too far.

I know we are trying to watch eagles.

Can't help myself. I rechecked on our Buta Buta she is sleeping now.

Hello to everyone!! Hey, Paula, I did give out several flyers about the website. And one of my friends said she ordered some things from the site this week. So I will tell even more people this weekend and hopefully you will see some more traffic on the site. BBL, back to work, hands are sore, too much effort to type or use mouse...ouch...

Anonymous said...

That was Dana with the heads up!

She is still eating...must be a big catch...they also backed off a little, good view of nest and tree now...not so wobbly to watch.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Going out for a while. BBL!

Eagle at Florida finished eating sitting up on branch.

I still can't believe I said last night I was going to watch Bones. Then remember Rockefeller and called Mom. Then layed down and out I went.

MITS said...

Yes, Dana I will send them to them, haven't had a chance to respond to their e-mail from Tuesday.

MITS said...

Must have needed extra rest, Dana.

Norma,
That was a great article. IWS is doing wonderful things on the Channel Islands. You all may remember that is where the first bald eagle hatched in the wild in 50 years this past April. - You can view it at

Norma it is a Dell that Ed's cousin had. She brought a laptop off her daughter. So I brought this one off her.

I love windows XP ! (:

Has anyone updated to Internet Explorer 7?

That pic in Florida is awesome. That's what I call "ride'm eaglegirl". Look how she has her talcons.

Good Afternoon! Just got home from getting a hair cut! I really feel & look better. I still need to read some of the previous thread to catch up. These Juvies are surprising me!
Where is Spunky

Be back as soon as I catch up...

MITS said...

Dana, both Sharon and I tried Internet Explorer 7 and had some problems, Jim updated and he seemed to do fine with it.

Anonymous said...

I do one at a time
(1) click on Internet Explorer then I have different cams in my favorities. I click the cam I want.
Got that one. I make it smaller.
(2) I click Internet Explorer again do the same thing but pick a different cam. Got that one. Make that one smaller.
They are all listed on your bottom tool bar, after about 5 opening internet explorer and picking the cam I want. on the bottom tool bar they all go together like a list to scroll down. hee hee it is neat

MITS said...

NORMABYRD There are 9 in our class, the closest, I got to him was the kitchen, where they prep the food, that is where we will have to sign in before going on duty, its right next to where they monitor the cams.

MITS said...

Think the eagle at BW, is staying put, so no juvie can come visit.

MITS said...

I have never figured that out Dana, just bring them up individually from the bottom, but you have them all up at one time, don't they go down when you try to blog?

MITS said...

BW GONE, so much for my theory

Eagle back in the FL nest

MITS said...

Yes, he/se is Jo, such a great shot of the eagle...Norma are you getting these eagles in FLA????

MITS said...

That is a purty eagle there in FLA.

Anonymous said...

Ok, eagle is back at FL...was wondering if it hadn't moved in 1 1/2 hours....


She just left before I could post...was catching up...

Norma,
IWS does do stuff all over the world...

I think eagle is in the next tre....

Anonymous said...

They are a smaller organization that works with smaller animal populations...more like specific to certain areas...like the channel islands populations...

Anonymous said...

Nope, was my imagination, eagle not in the next tree.

Anonymous said...

Snow is all melted at Kent...The juvie that was there would be too young to take over the nest, and as far as I know, they build their own once they find a mate. I suppose they might use an abandoned nest or a backup nest.

Anonymous said...

Mits if I tried to tell you I would mess your mind all up lol

Ahh Buta Buta is laying asleep in the nest. Outside the nest on the concert is Lun Lun sleeping. Mommy and child.

It is 60° here in the valley. Rain should be coming in tomorrow. Had a short shower a few minutes ago. My Frosty The Snowman on my porch is going to have a melt down!

Been getting the same msg on and off since last night, Norma..Jo, put a pic of Frosty up...I've been collecting snowman for a very long time...love them til I have to bring them down from attic and put them back...some stay out all year, because they aren't all a Christmas theme...and I just love my snowmen:):):).

Anonymous said...

Norma - maybe that juvie moving around the sticks was "thanks for letting me drop in and rest" present!

Dana - Got the link for Buta-Buta voting for names. What? No Buta buta or Buta ball name on that list as far as I can see!

Anonymous said...

Paula, Buta Buta will always be our nickname but it's not ever going to be official! lol I think I like Ping or one of the Mings.... I hope they don't vote for a Mei or Tai........

Whoa! Doors just closed on our DC pandas. Both are Safe & inside!

Yes, Norma I agree, additive, but, fun. I will not be collecting pandas or eagles...going to try to downsize over the next few years and try not to bring any more stuff into this house:):):)

Norma- I need to take a look in my miscellaneous (junk) drawer in my dresser. I may be able to find an old political pin to send you... Don't get your hopes up too high - the drawer is a mess.

Anonymous said...

I wish they would turn the lights dim for Tai when he goes to sleep in the corner. He is always covering his eyes.

MITS said...

My snowman collection started around 30 years ago, I try to keep it under control, but, if I see something unique its hard to resist.

MITS said...

Too bad sun has gone down all you can see is their white heads.

Mits - Is hubby all set to go to the game out in Cincinnati?

MITS said...

Jo, might be the only place to watch game is on NFL NETWORK or Baltimore Channel 2, not sure what you get up in your area, we can't get Baltimore channels on our cable in Montgomery County..Hubbys' trip to Cinncy got cancelled:) Jo, you have mail!!!!!

MITS said...

Sent those of you who I have e-mail addreses Loraines' resonse to the juvie pictures, she was delighted to get them because she missed the visit today. Said parent was in there after dark last night squawking at something, thought now that maybe it was the juvie wanting to get to the nest.

Do you get the (not the NFL package) but the NFL channel on DirecTV it is 212 called NFL Total Access On Location 5-8pm they do pregame reports, interview, analysis of the game.

MITS said...

Anonymous said...

When the NFL talk show went off at 8pm EST the football game came on that channel tonight. Cinn. & Ravens

MITS said...

I don't usually watch the games on TV, hate all the analyzing, besides commercials drive me nuts.

I see that on beakspeak.com they have removed the Brisbane site in the headlines. It was only a few days ago that I had emailed them that it was finished. They should be placing the FL cam site on the list shortly.

Hi Vicky- We've been pretty active all day long with the different eagle cams and the pandas also. The only evening cam anymore is Africam and it's only 5:30am over there - All that you see right now are the birds flying around.
I think that usually most bloggers hit the tube between 9 & 11.

Hi There Nilla. Get it shiny!

Good evening and good night everybody.

Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feathers and fur. Hope you have a peaceful and restful night.

Morning, Suzanne..so warm out this morning, just walked the dog wearing flip flops(me,not the dog) Kinda like the calm before the storm right now. Woried about the wind coming with this front. They say 50-60 MPH gusts later today and this evening, Hope it is all gone by morning.

Anonymous said...

Yep, Suzanne, selling wreaths tomorrow in the same place as last week. If the weather is decent it will be busy, lots of activities in town and a parade at 11 am. As long as it's not raining I will do well.

MITS said...

GOODMORNING, SUZANNE AND FLORALGIRL Hold onto your flip-flops, Megan, its going to be a bumpy day. 65° right now. I hate it when it changes so abruptly. Zoo day training today. I was hoping to take a nice walk around the zoo after classes, but might just to have to dash to car and get out of the city before the winds kick in.

Anonymous said...

Oh, have fun at the zoo Mits!! Don't worry, I'm used to freezing my buns off this time of year. I don't mind standing out in the cold, just as long as the wind dies down. Have a good day, everyone. Off to work, loooong day today.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning, my eagle buddies. I hope everybody has a wonderful day!!! :):):)

MITS said...

Just a volunteer out on the trail,Suzanne, I will be working with the public, around the animals, not with them, although there are jobs where you can be a trainers' assistant, let me see how this year goes before I move on to other things.

MITS said...

Since I will be representing the zoo, got to keep emotions under control..might throw me to the lions, if I don't. Most of my volunteer experience has been with schools and hospitals, this will be a different challenge.

MITS said...

Tai keeps standing on Mei's back to get a better view..

MITS said...

Noticed the freeze frame for a long time at BW, then boom its back on.

I have to shovel some to get my dogs out of the house, and then my car out of the driveway. Day before the Open House for all who made this facility possible. Has to come off so off to work I go.
Be careful and watch out for those new drivers. "Oh guess that is mostly for Vicky and I" those of you out East Eyes to the skies, I hope you see our eagles BUT I also hope you are alert to the weather conditions. Hugs to all and especially to (((((((YOU))))) , you know who you are!

Good Morning dear Friends, God Bless you all and especially those who need a touch from the Master's hand today. Mits it is wonderful how you volunteer. You really are special, just ask Suzanne and Mema Jo and me and Sharon. Floral Girl I pray you sell everything you have up for sale tomorrow. Back to exams and grading papers and all that stuff that gets in the way of the blog. Wouldn't it be nice to be PAID to blog all day. Mits I have had to eat so much crow over my tongue (you know the tongue is full of poison, so don't bite it too much) that it tastes like chicken now. Love to all of you. donna

No school anywhere today so the kids are NOT out this morning!!!! :-)
