Thank you Sandra for coming over and telling us new thread is up.
Steve thanks for the thread.

Oh my "our little prince" is getting too high in that tree. The limbs are bending and swaying with him. Oh I feel I can't watch but I must praying he doesn't fall from a crack limb. He has been doing this a while now moving all around up there. Now he has come down a good ways. He has himself straddle so he can sit. Be still my heart. That boy.... Norma if you get him make his trees stronger or shorter lol

Well I have Our bLOG, Our still cam and Florida's live cam up on my desktop. I hope they get our live up and running today or we will have a weekend without our live again. I so love to watch ours. Still is clear and nice though.

ALSO chat screen is floating on my desktop incase anyone wants to stop in and say Hi...I will see you for a while anyway this morning. I don't have to be on the chat for others to stop by and use it though.....It works nice for those quick Hi's but no time to read the BLOG yet kinds of moments, or conversations that don't involve a refresh. You get there from the bottom of the . For the Love of Eagles BLOG off of my name here Probably in the long run help the dial up folks not have to deal with such long BLOG threads as some of the chatter stuff will be in the chat area, instead of on the bLOG. Its a Freebie as I really don't know how much interest there will be in having a chat space just yet. Had some fun with stuff in there last night though.

Anonymous said...

Good morning Norma and everyone else in here LOL. I like FL better than ME cam as at least you can keep it running. sure wish that nest wasn't so deep though, and actually not sure how effective the "poop shoot " stuff is gonna work for the little ones with all that wall...but they are safely tucked in for a week or two I guess. MTBR on thhat one.

LOL Norma . Sounds like a plan for sure

Anonymous said...

Spring trip For those who didn't read it a couple of days ago, Vicky and I are planning our Spring Trip around the weekend of March 11. We will be headed to Shepherdstown probably on that Fri or most likely Sat. For myself, this will be a 1 time trip for sure, just awfully far for me to go, but I do want a chance to meet as many of you as I can when I get there. I hope if one day is better than the other you will let us know, so we can plan accordingly. I am 4 hours further away than Vicky is, but when I get to her house I will then have a Chauffer LOL.

Fl Is expecting first egg to hatch on or about Jan 9, maybe its a wiggling or something.

LOL Norma don't need any red carpets, but I know it would be a memory of a lifetime to get to meet as many of you as I possibly can. So Norma I would so love it if you would mark that date down and come to the nest area too!!!

Good news my Maggie is supposed to go home from hospital today. YES, PAULA, THIS WEATHER IS THE RESULT OF "EL NINO", NOT GLOBAL WARMING.

I believe this giraffe might be pregnant.

Good morning Mits. I am so happy to hear the news for Maggie

Anonymous said...

Oh good morning Mits this site needed some good new. So happy our littlest eagle is coming home. SMILES !

As far as Kent they say they hear them so maybe they have another nest somewhere and that is where they are since that storm. Just food for thought.

I've been watching Florida. She was acting strangely this morning. Up alot..I began wondering was she feeling a hatching starting. Been watching her cause they say they will call to their mate to come see the new eaglet. So far I don't think that has happened.

Anonymous said...

GLO are you sure about the trip as early as March 11th. Last year 1st egg laid Feb. 9th, 2nd Feb 11th and 3rd Feb 16th. Hatching was 1st egg hatched March 11th, 2nd egg hatched March 22nd, and 3rd egg hatched after that. I know the 1st date is right. So if you come March 11th you said you wanted to be able to see eaglets on branches that will be way too early.

Anonymous said...

1st egg hatched last year on March 18

Anonymous said...

Unless Liberty and Belle would drastically change their schedule, there probably won't be any chicks to see on March 11

Our live feed is still down...any news on that, Steve? Or should I switch to FL for the day, LOL.

Yep Paula I boob boobed I didn't look at my arrow on March 11th pointing to March 18th that is when my nephew sons (who is in Navy) his child (boy) was born March 18th and I did the "what happened on the day you was born with the pic of the eagles and a stuffed baby eagle. Sorry for the boob boob and thanks for the help Paula.

LOL Dana Actually i want to be able to see eagles and activity at the nest. I am sure we will be incubating if not hatching by then....I just know these 2 will be raising a family again this year, in spite of their behavior towards each other lately , LOL ...Yep I think March 11 is our chosen weekend. But i will run that new info past Vicky No matter what we won't be getting any close ups of the little ones, and it will be June before they branch...so am sure we won't wait til then. Guess I need to be encouraging a little more "ROMANCE" in that nest!!!! I'll send wax for candles, you guys shimmey up the tree in your spare time LOL. Yep very responsible Adult eagles there, i am sure they will only behave safely around candles in the tree. Ok No Candles then, how about a little Eagle Music to pipe in over the radio, just put something by the base of the tree around sunset for the next several evenings.

Oh Dear Iris you said husband had it now you got it. I am feeling for you believe me. All's I know is until you either get to the point of sweating it out alot or making in my case sweat it out by lots of cloths. Only then do you seem to start getting better. Prayers for you my dear.

No their probably won't be any eaglets possibly even hatched when you come on March 11th weekend if the eagles perform as they did last year. Hatching as Paula help correct me was March 18th for the first egg Glo.

I am sure we can't encourage or rush Liberty and Belle. They have their own time zone for doing the do. lol

Oh just looked at my calendar Sunday Jan. 7th 8 pm on Animal Planet watch Tai.

Anonymous said...

Yep we certainly do have access to all the dates for egg laying hatching and fledging for last season right at our fingertips. I will be checking with . Vicky to see if she prefers a different time. But for now our thought is March 11. No one has really said they could or couldn't be around that weekend. But a couple of said they would mark it on the Calendar. I think the people presence is just as important to me, as I know we will see liberty and Belle at that tree more and more now over the next several months. MTBR

Well I would say chances of seeing any live feed before Monday now are pretty much zilch but
. I would love to be proved wrong here

We might see them on the still cam soon though its about that time!

Anonymous said...

Guess I will head up to ME then wish that feed were more than 2 min. LOL

Steve Chase said...

Here's the scoop.

The live feed is distributed by a vendor in Wheeling. We send the video signal via the internet to them, from our communications room. As we all know, occasionally, the link "locks up" and the feed goes down. Right now, it must be reset manually by one of our IT folks (we basically have two folks who deal with this, but they also deal with our entire network (many servers) and over 200 users and their own IT problems.)

So, whenever we notice that the link has locked up, we call to one of our IT folks and they reset the link, and we have live feed again. Unfortunately, the feed tends to lock up every 12-18 hours. We are trying to develop an automated fix that would reset the link automatically every few hours to ensure that it stays up. That automated process has to be programmed though, and that is taking research time for us to to figure it out.

I called down a few minutes ago to get it reset and had to go to the Division Chief as nobody else is here. She is attempting to do the reset.

As always, hang in there. We will get this fixed, but the cam is an extra that we all do out of love for the project, and our other tasks often get in the way :>)

Steve Chase said...

Live feed back up!

THANK YOU, STEVEN.

GOOD NIGHT/GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS...

The wind is blowing hard from the desert (Santa Ana winds), it's cold and penetrating, and I'm up in the middle of the night...about to be the first to wish you all a glorious first Saturday of the New Year!

I just read Nilla's entry, and I am praying for the best for her daughter, I'm praying for her to walk out the door of the hospital in the morning with no lasting illness.

Nilla's mentioning seafood reminded me that my brother-in-law several years ago received a gift of a box of lobster tails from a fisherman friend; and he proceeded to enjoy 4-5 of the delicious tails for dinner that night....

You guessed it, he was up in the middle of the night with terrible pains, and my sister rushed him to the emergency ward, where they spent most of the remainder of the night.

It turned out to be a gall bladder attack from trying to process too many tails in too short a time. They gave him some stuff to ease the gastric stress and pain, the episode passed, he kept his gall bladder, and lived happily ever after as long as he didn't eat too many lobster tails.

Let's hope that there was a similar cause for Nilla's daughter's attack, and she will be found to be well this morning.

Best, most exciting things and activities to you for the weekend...

Jim
