«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 626 Newer› Newest»Good morning Suzanne...haven't read your comments yet so not sure what kin dof weather you dealt with coming in to work today. Hoping for that fun little healthy surprise to pop into sigh tto day at least maybe briefly. I don't even want to open the nest cam and see her sitting there drenched in another storm :( Maybe I'll just read and wait for someone to tell me to go have a peak or come see a picture of our first chick. It just got to be anytime now. hve a great day all. Atleast I did manange to get the best nights sleep I have gotten in over a week last night. Much better eway to start the day.
Morning Suzanne you sure do talk to you sure do talk to yourself alot. Have you taken any pictures of our nest this morning? hee hee
Glo you got wax
Glo, you got mail. I am just like you today Glo, I hate to see our parents in the rain. I also want to see a baby, too. God Bless You today and let's all pray for our eagle-eyed Sharon. Love Ya donna
Good Morning dana sunny glo and suzanne and Suzanne thanks for the St. Patrick's day poem. Lovely Have a blessed one, dear friends. BBL mauley
Good Morning Mauley, Glo and Sunny.
Pretty wet out there.
Belle is dring her wings out. Neat pic.
Did anybody just see what looked like an eaglet in our nest? I thought I did but could have been mistaken. I saved a picture but can't really tell.
I sent the pic to some of you. Let me know what you think.
I hear my towhee outside this morning but he hasn't made it to the food yet.
Sunny, if I had your email address I would send you the pic too!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONESharon, I thought I saw some grey fluff late yesterday, but , could have been a chick or brood feathers,. Suzanne our cam did that the entire day yesterday. I was intent on watching it every chance I got and got tired of hitting the refresh button. So, I can say our 30 second cam is not working properly. Going to do e-mails and check cams. Have a good day everyone.
Look at the pic - all I can say without seeing it better is that
I DON'T SEE THAT 3RD EGG, Sharon!
Maybe................. Maybe
HELLO, IS ANYBODY OUT THERE!!! Check your emails and let me know if we have a hatchling!!!!
Just been reviewing a picture I took of our nest when eggs showed. It has taken me like almost forever cause my machine is slow it is doing the McAfee thing behind the scenes.
Then I come in an see Sharon has made a comment.
Sharon like I said I was reviewing that picture I took and I still think I see a hatchling. I am writing Steve to ask him if it was hatched yesterday or today. If it is truly one.
I hope that still isn't Belle in the nest, she has been there since around 3 yesterday, right before the rain hit, I was tracking the weather coming towards the nest.
I THINK WE HAVE A BABY!!!
I think it is Liberty on the nest but not sure. He/she got up, looked down and laid back down.
GOOD A.M. EAGLE BUDDIES----All schools in area closed---including JEFFERSON (Shepherdstown)---So it is going to be a cold wet day for our LIB & BELLE---Maybe we will see a "wee" head pop out today---
Sunny, you've got mail.
I posted Sharon's pic on the Mumster album so you all can see those 2 eggs and decide what else you may see.
EAGLE EYED SHARON---Is it our 1st born????
Eagle-eyed Sharon at your service - maybe. MORE WILL BE REVEALED.
WOW---SHARON---Sure looks like a 1st BORN to me----
SUZANNE---Always enjoy your commentary!----Thought you might not be here this a.m.---It's started snowing here---But I live in WV---Are you MD or PA?----Isn't it great to have so many former "lurkers"---ho! ho!---I know from experience---Took me a long time to log on!---WELCOME!---Thanks again SHARON!!!
Hi, Eagle Lovers,
Well, I can't see much except wet eagles and nest, but please send me a pic if there is a new chick in WV nest.
Jim
I remember now, Sunny. A little brain dead these days. I don't want to watch stork nests anymore. That one broke me of that habit!
Jim, you've got mail!
Our poor moms. VA Lady is soaked and still sitting, but it looks like she at least has breakfast waiting on her. Belle is the one I feel the worst for. No breakfast and no sign of Lib yet.
It DOES look like we have a fuzzball in that one pic.. though Belle hasn't gotten up so we can verify it.
Liberty flew in earlier and then right back out. I kind of looked like he had food (located at about 5 o'clock) but not sure if that is what it is.
wax
This "wee" one is born close to last year's date-----Last year the 1st birth was March 18---
SHARON---GREAT to have you getting the WAX----Have missed that!!!
SUZANNE---That happened to me yesterday---I could have sworn the OSPREY'S cam was stuck---Finally she/he blinked----COOL BIRDS!
Thanks, Sharon, Suzanne, for the pics...boy it's fairly murky in the rain and the half dark.
I sure hope it's a chick, but I can't be 100% sure there aren't 3 eggs still (can only see 2 for sure).
Happy St. Patty's Day weekend to all.
Jim
CO nest--BLACK OUT---NE---No snow there!!!
I (think) the "Little Prince" is in BAMBOO HEAVEN!!!
BUTA BUTA asleep on the "Head Board!!
Suzanne's morning pics are on Mumsters.
AREN'T WE CLOSE TO "NEW THREAD" TIME????????
Is it snowing in Shepherdstown?
I think it is sleet.
There has been sleet off and on here in the valley. It does forecast some snow later in the day.
Sure does look like snowish sleet on our Momma Belle!
Its a mix of rain, snow, sleet and freezing rain according to weatherunderground.
That is what I was afraid of.
Don't know how long Steve was going to be up in NYC......as far as the new thread - It's not there right now. He might get really snowed in up there!
Hi Mits,Sunny,Jim, and Norma.
Wow this behind the scenes scan is sure making my going back and forth in here slow.
I did way earlier get the two pics I had taken at 8:45AM this morning off to Steve and a note. Asking also for a New Thread with a pic and the update of when chick was born. So we'll see what their live feed at NCTC reveals.
Yep Mits that is what we was getting stopped just a bit ago. So Belle should have some relief soon from the sleet. Unless it starts again.
Did anybody catch the little glimpse just now. Still think I see a gray furball!
Nasty, Nasty sleet and snow coming down the road this morning....saw 5 cars run off the road. Those eagles better hold on while they're landing!
From the looks of the radar, this is probably an all day event, and into tomorrow. But c'mon, she's tough, she will be OK!
REALLY SNOWING here ----talked w/daughter in Shepherdstown--some sleet like stuff & now starting fine snow, etc.----Schools closed there---
If there is a chick today, it will be getting frozen fish sticks for dinner!
From the way she gets up and looks under her, I feel pretty sure that is a baby we saw!
I have to go downstairs for a minute. Somebody keep an eagle-eye on that nest for a few minutes!! :):):)
No Suz, but roads were bad, but I don't think they had salted yet. People were just running off the road, into ditches and stuff. You may not want to go up 550.
mmmm, I like fish sticks, with some tarter sauce and ketchup on the side:)
Down comes the BIG SNOW FLAKES!!!!
VA Mama looks pretty soaked too.
"Eagle in the Snow" is this years theme.
We are just getting rain in Bluefield. They said we might get some snow tonight. Weather has been so beautiful this week, now it is turning back to winter.
Eaglets in VA getting brunch.
Be Safe, Suz. Just take it easy.
SUZ---TAKE IT SLOW---WILL KEEP YOU IN MY THOUGHTS---
Suzanne be careful snowing now sleet under that. tc
Well, folks, I'll tell you something.
My respect for these birds and what they go through to ensure the survival of their young has increased a thousand fold this season, from watching all that Belle and Lib have gone through.
Sharon, Mits, Jim, Jo have mail to check for the fish. Paula I would have sent to you but you wasn't here yet. Hi Paula.
Snowing pretty bad for awhile here. It was sleet ontop of Belle. Now it has been snow.
Paula its the one in the album about the fish. Try enlarging it.
WOW---BELLE is "Spread Eagle" & covered with SNOW!-----SHARON--I bet that is an EAGLET---Grey Fuzz Ball!---
My heart took a dive when I pulled up the cam just now. I could simple bawl my eyes out over our parents. Dear devoted raptors, I wish I could take a turn sitting on the eggs. I wish I could do something, but I sure can ask God to help them. Sharon, I haven't seen the pic yet of the possible fuzz ball could someone email it to me? Please thanks mauley
Just think of all the eagles in Alaska, that go thru extreme weather every year, not to mention the ones in Maine, who are expecting bad weather this weekend. These are tuff birds!
Yes they are Mits. Guess that is why they have 7000 feathers! For conditions like this!
wish this one would get up and shake those feathers, but it is probably great insulation also.
Raining here, but temp is starting to drop a little.
She moved a little, you can see the sleet/snow cover cracking....
heads out:).
Most pic for 3/16 are in the album on Momsters.... Take a look.
All schools in this area are closing 2 hrs early.
Our Belle and Liberty are one set of strong willed eagles! They will get those little chicks up & running as soon as this weather clears the area!
Got to run an errand. Will be back in a little while.
THINK SPRING!
FLOWERS BLOSSOMING
BIRDS SINGING
GREEN GRASS
LITTLE FUZZ BALLS
Would someone tell me why, I keep trying the live-feed and hoping it comes up one of these times???
Mauley, I sent you a pic too. What address are you on now?
TA-DA !!!!
Mits, I do the same thing. One of these days, it is going to work!! Have faith!
Ground is covered w/ snow here in Frederick.
Hard to tell in those pics. What we .....
OK I was writing that when she just got up. I only saw 2 eggs. but couldn't see the chick. Anyone else? Putting pic on Momsters now.
Sharon, work donnak.cox@kctcs.edu
Please send. thanks
Mits - you're my 'die hard' friend
My bad, Sharon, it was in the junk mail. Yes, it does look like we may be momsters again. Thanks so much. Who is on nest now. I must have missed the switch. thanks again. Hope you are feeling better, little sister. donna
Okay, really out now. BBIALW!!!
Mauley, Belle is on the nest. She has been there since yesterday afternoon.
Paula - looked at pic. I think we should say There are only 2 eggs visible - The little chick from the 1st egg is hiding really well way
down under.... Little fuzz ball does not like the snow........
If there were 3 eggs still - we would have seen them all.
Sure wish we had a ZOOM on our cam.
Someone be ready to snap it when we really get a good view of the egg well.
I have about 10 emails with Pics from granddaughter showing me her new housing on the base of Ft Drum.
I'll be back.
looks like a turkey right now:).
Just check for new thread -
NONE AT THIS TIME
I swear she's looking up at the cam
test
PEEK-A-BOO, I see you:).
OK...I'm in....whew!
I have been lurking for a LONG time. Was a real regular last season, but I'm not supposed to do this from work anymore...:-(
I looked at the pictures too, only saw 2 eggs...must be a fuzz ball hiding in there keeping warm!
Poor Belle........
Hi everyone!!
Hi Sandy. C'mon in, we won't tell :)
Is that the real Sandy Bowers I am seeing? Hi Sandy! Glad you got in!
I'm in....if I disappear, I got BUSTED!! LOL
LOL, just looking at the eagle in VA...has sorta that "wet dog w/ puppy eyes" look.
What's that game FIND WALDO
Well now it is FIND BELLE
Hey there Paula!! Yep Jo. it's ME!!! Didn't figure you gals would remember me it's been so long, but I can't stay away!!
I've been reading since before the eggs and actually coted on the momsters board, but I have no clue what days I picked now
UGH...make that VOTED..
She's really covered.....must be snowing HARD up there.
Poor Belle. She's looking like a bird popsicle right now. I'm almost certain she feels like one, going from soaked to freezing temps that fast. I hope Lib comes back soon and gives her some relief.
I hope in someways that we don't have a little fuzzball right now. If we do the poor thing picked a bad time to come out. Belle will have to get off the nest to feed them which means they'll get cold or she stays on, which means they go hungry.
Hopefully the fuzzball can hang on through this junk and Liberty brings back a HUGE fish for Belle and the possible fuzzhead.
Sandy, nice to have you back:):):)
Where's Waldo....Where's Belle.
shake it off Babe:).
Get ready, she's got to be shaking soon.
I agree Jennifer. She's been there a long time! Judging from last year, if there's a baby there, they'll know what the right thing to do it...feed it, or keep it warm..
Hey ya Mits!!!
C'mon Belle, I need to get dressed...
Get ready....
Head moving....at least the chick doesn't have to eat today...
I'm waiting........
Ready or not?????
................and waiting.....
My time is refreshing fine, but there are times when my pic is not:(.
Gotta go do some work. Be back in a bit. Take notes if anything happens....please...
And there are times screen goes BLACK!
If there is a little one in there, I don't think she will move because if she does it gets covered with snow. They do have their little down feathers to keep them warm but I don't know how well they do in the snow.
Mits, go get dressed so she'll get up :)
OK, PAULA, I'll do that:):):) BBL!
The snow is slacking off here - I hope all this is out of here and doesn't linger throughout the night.
Mits - Oh weather geni - what's the latest on the weather???
Hi Paula, Sandy, Mits, Jennifer and Jill. Can our hearts handle the cam pics of our Belle and possible new one in the snow.
donna
Hi Sunny and Mema Jo.
Jill, waht will you do with your 400 pounds of wax.
Jill, waht will you do with your 400 pounds of wax.
Yes, Mauley, we can handle it! Have faith and trust the eagle.
poor belle she is covered.
poor belle she is covered.
Blog I did not stutter. But as Mits husband says it is whatit is.
thank you Sunny.
Check the BW EAGLE---No SNOW--but look like she is SOAKED---Don't see those little ones out either!
JO---I think OUR "WONDERFUL HANDSOME STEVEN" has forgotten that we need a NEW THREAD!!---ho! ho!
Something is about to happen..
FLY LIKE AN EAGLE
has just started to play on my radio.....
time for Belle to make
her chicks debut.......
Snow and freezing fog for the nest, looks like an all day event, took shower, got dressed, still in nest under snow, going to dry hair, makeup etc....BBIALW.
Norma He may still be in NY
However, if he can give us new
threads from Wyoming - why not NY?
Come on Steve - we don't want to hit
500. I bet he hears us!! lol
Thanks ahead of time - Steve.
Liberty best come to nest and dig Belle out of there..........
Has she moved at all in the last 40 mins.?
I am back. Poor Belle is really covered. I have to remind myself though that eagles do not have human thoughts. She is probably not sitting there thinking how rough her life is. IT IS WHAT IT IS! She is just doing what she was put here to do. I want to be like Belle when I grow up!
Me too:):)
Just her head, Mits.
ok, just saw her head move.
Actually, she has moved slightly at times....you can see cracks in the snow on her..then the snow fills them back in quickly
I wish it would snow like that here today. I love snow and wouldn't mind having one more before spring hits.
Gee, that snow is getting deep on her. Oh Liberty, where are you????
She's not human, but I am, and it pains me to see her that way even if she's matter of fact about it.. I'm such a sap!
But, I'd bet there's a baby under there she's keeping warm. When there were just eggs she'd hope off the real quick and shake off....
hummmmmmmmmmmmm......I wonder...
Ahhhhhhh, big head movement there......
I think you are right, there is a baby under there. She hasn't moved in quite a while other than her head. Poor thing but remember the hikers in Washington surviving in the snow hut? That is what she is doing. Letting the snow fill in around her, keeping whatever is underneath warm. By the time it all melts we could have 3 little ones.
wish we had sound
Sandy, I am with you on that. It breaks my heart watching them. I know they feel our spirits with them though.
hi! this definietly reminds me of how the donkeys seem to foal on the coldest wettest day of the year! and they mated in April, when it was warmer. just so happens that March is the month of "sudden winter storms"
SURPRISE!
Belle picked up her hear.....at least she still can! And I saw a crack a few minutes ago...
We ARE momster, so we're allowed to worry...
I'm babbling!
HEY SHARON!!!!----WHEN I COME BACK IN MY NEXT LIFE------ I AM GOING TO BE AN EAGLE!!!!!!----
yep, but I hate to watch it~!
She's looking up at something..perhaps Liberty is coming to her rescue with a fish and a shovel.LOL
NE eagle starting to get snow covered
Kent, FL nests are MT
ME, CO eagle incubating
VA eagle is wet and tenting - now she is up and feeding chicks....
Cape Coral - adult and eaglet visible
Sidney eagle nest has eagle standing on edge of nest but no eggs (Great 2 views)
TwoHarbors, WestEnd & Santa Cruz are all incubating eggs (real & wooden that is)
You all do not need a report on WV eagle - do you> I just had to take my eyes off of our cam for a few - Now I'm checking the pandas..& maybe a falcon or two.
Jason put the message on beakspeak.com home page about the falcon egg in VA
Not me NormaByrd!! I don't ever want to be that cold!!
Some cool double-vision pics coming thru from BW :)
It's been 2 hours since last shake off.
Is the WVa nest okay? I can only see the mom's head now because of the snow.
HI GEULA!!---Our blog is so long---Takes a while to see who is here---How are you?----No puzzles lately-----MISS YOU!!!---What do you think of all these EAGLES!!---Remember EAGLE BUDDIES---The EAGLE in ME stayed on the nest at 17° BELOW----SO I DOUBT THIS SNOW WILL BE TOO MUCH FOR OUR EAGLES!!!
Stupid google kicked me off the blog.....
BBIALW
Hello everybody here. Karynpa, our eagles can withstand a lot, just hard for us to watch them do it. Hi Geula. Miss you lots on here. I don't have any experience with donkeys. I would never make it as a farm girl.
Mits, do you want me to smack Google for you?
Is this SANDY the SANDY that has a husband named TOM?---GUESS there are TWO SANDYS----WELCOME TO THIS SANDY---
Yes, Karyn, she's ok. She's done this before!
Yup, Google has been bad to me today, too. BBL
Tai on Cam 2 has his bamboo indoors and just finished getting his treats out of the ball.
ButaButa is a sleepy head..
On the panda's updates - they have recorded LunLun's bleating sound
Sounds just like a little goat..
Go listen when you have the chance.
MITS---"STUPID GOOGLE" probably found all those CUSS WORDS you have used on their GOGGLE---REMEMBER--"GOOGLE NO CUSS"---ho! ho!
I BET SHARON WAS 450??
JO---Listened to her "BLEATS" yesterday--Isn't that COOL!!!
I would feel so much better if she would just get some of that snow off her. I guess they are strong enough to throw a couple of inches of snow off their wings, huh?
Yes, Sharon, please give it a good whack for me:).
Nope, no Tom here...~~sorry
Thatnks, I was here a LOT last season, but not so much lately....at least not posting. It's a no-no at work....oh well..
Norma - Sandra who sometimes posts as SandyShaw is from Shepherdstown with hubby Tom.
Our Sandy today is Sandy Bowers.
You can shoot me Sandy but your
home is - I want to say FL..... but
I think I am guessing....... Senior Moment for which I am allowed...lol
PA FALCON Nest---MT---starting to get a few snow flurries!
I am feeling a little Snowaphobia
Like 'I am going to get snow up my beak' type of feeling!
Please move a wing or two, Belle!
Okay, I am heading to Shepherdstown with a snow shovel and a heater. I will be back.
AWwwwwwwwww funny JO....I WISH i was in sunny FL, but I'm in cold rainy northwest NC.... still not very close to our nest though :-(
I wish she would move too. I have to leave in about 45 minutes to go home, then out of town for the weekend. I'll go nutz if I leave her all covered up!!
MOVE Darn it!!
Mema Jo, I was just wondering if an eagle has ever drowned in snow!
Sharon! Better get going with that shovel girl!!
Seriously, WHERE is Liberty??? What happens if the snow gets so deep she HAS to move?? OK, I know, Iknow I'm worrying..can't help it....
Start digging!
JO---Don't you think the snow helps keep BELLE warmer?----Or am I NUTS????
I know Steve probably isn't there and I know we never are allowed to step in on Nature - but I am going to email Steve Wunderley to just get an idea of what to expect from Belle...........
EXCELLENT idea.....
I would say it keeps her warmer but the question is: Does it keep her DOWN?
I wish Liberty would come down from the tree tops and start scratching away at the snow just like a little Burrowing Owl would scratch.
Maybe Liberty knows something we don't......
Email sent.
Well, Sandy I just knew it was somewhere south of MD.... and usually
warmer.... OK Sandy from NC
Sharon, you might want to take an ice pick along with you, think alot of that is sleet and freezing rain. Wish I lived closer, I'd take a ride up there to find out where Lib is???
arghhhhhhhhhhhhh
kicked out!!
HEADS UP.....
With 7,000 feathers, must feel like a sauna to her.
We could have 2 chicks by the time Belle gets dug out.
No problem Jo! Actually about an hour or so south of Bluefield W.Va.
OK, I have to leave work in 10 minutes. MOVE BELLE!!!
I'll try to grab a peek from home before we take off...
see y'all Sunday
Thanks for the reassuring words. A friend in California who's watching said she would be fine. How much snow is expected there? Can't stand to watch this...
Sandy, where is it you live? I remember that now, that you were near me.
Mount Airy....NC
Belle
Hold your head up, oh, hold your head up, oh
Hold your head up, oh, hold your head high
Hold your head up, oh, hold your head up, oh
Hold your head up, oh, hold your head high
I think I heard someone call my name. Hello, everyone. It's still snowing in Shepherdstown, but it's very wet and I think it will melt quickly. It does not appear to be icy, although we had some sleet earlier. I don't think Belle is covered with ice, but with nice warm fluffy downy snow. I got out my magnifying glass and I agree that there was a grey fluff ball in the nest. Thanks so much for the wonderful photo albums . They bring me a great deal of pleasure.
Tom is still on antibiotics, I'm giving IVs at home.Luckily home care equipment is pretty good, even the multi-thumbed and inexperienced, so so far I haven't killed him. I'm afraid, however, that this process is not going to work and that they will have to operate again, remove the artificial knee, continue antibiotics for six weeks, then replace the knee. This means two surgeries. Decision probably will be made next week.
Snow is already sliding off the roof across the street, so I think Belle will be free soon. Hope Suzanne isn't having a bad time on the roads.
Just saw the weather report. 3-5 more inches of snow for the area. Although my street seems to be turning to slush right now. Tomorrow will be 36 so hopefully that will melt the snow. Then rain comes in with highs in the 40s on Sunday. Poor Belle. But she is well equipped to live in the elements, unlike us. Just remember how warm your down comforter is. She is wearing hers.
Sandra, thanks for the Shepherdstown weather report. The snow that was on my car is also sliding off & melting.
karynpa, Belle has been through this before but she has always taken time to shake off! I think with a new chick under her that she has decided that isn't a wise thing to do right now.
Glad you got some reassurance from another Eagle watcher.. Not sure how much snow is to come down in the nest area.
