GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES---I think I may be first---Will give message to others---THANKS STEVEN & NCTC people---Understand your frustration---Hope you understand ours----YOU ARE STILL #1

normabyrd said...

GOOD A.M. SUZANNE--MAULEY--PAULA & "back to bed"--DANA--ho!--PAULA--Will keep you & your son in my thoughts this a.m.----What hospital is he in?---TAKE CARE--

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---You have some great pics on the BW Gallery----That older chick is not going to let the younger one eat----What to do? ho! ho!

normabyrd said...

Missed the osprey---Please educate me SUZANNE----Last year at PA site--We could see the nest where the chicks hatched---All I ever see is the 1 falcon & all the "bloody meat", etc.----Are there eggs?

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---Check the sizes of those chicks & tell me which is getting most of the food---ho! ho!---I read in one Lisa's columns that sometimes the older one will peck the younger on the head to keep him from getting any food!

normabyrd said...

DID you know the VIRGINIA LADY now has TWO CHICKS?---Watched her yesterday----When you go to that sight---on the right--check those falcon sights---SHENANDOAH, etc.--

normabyrd said...

Check the Eagle page now!

glo said...

Hi everyone..wishing you great eagle viewing everywhere

movin said...

BW IS FEEDING CHICKS.
JIM

movin said...

I believe it is an osprey on the osprey nest in addition to the fish crow...

Jim

normabyrd said...

GOOD A.M. GLO & JIM----Lots of EAGLES & FALCONS----Waiting to see the VIRGINA LADY feed---

KateAZ said...

Our eggs have been uncovered for a few minutes now... no parent in view.

normabyrd said...

EAGLE NEST ME is beautiful this morning!----Not much wind!!

normabyrd said...

I can't see our Nest----Not fully open---

movin said...

Oh yeah, Suzanne..
The lady Osprey (necklace) does only have one leg..I thought she was standing seductively until you said that.

She looks as though she is trying to claim the platform, and she's definitely mature, so I guess one leg is enough...we'll see.

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Morning again Suzanne and Morning everyone.

Norfolk Va Parent gets up slowly and UP POPS two cute heads. She is feeding them now.

Poor Osprey it does seem to have one leg. Been there a long time.

BW Eagle nest Chubs is on the right and Tiny on the left. Although Mom and Dad does see that they both eat. Chubs was born first. Tiny second.

wvgal_dana said...

yep still 3 eggs in our nest Liberty left Belle taking over.

movin said...

Both just flew to nest in Kent
Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Osprey gone might be back

normabyrd said...

HI DANA---Missed the VA chicks eating---Did the little one eat too!----They are hard to see--That is such a deep nest---

normabyrd said...

1 in nest at KENT---Other one left---Maybe they will have eggs soon!!

wvgal_dana said...

I could be wrong but it looks like a hole in the egg at Norfolk Va 10:10am

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Norma Tiny ate too. I always have that nest up. The parent see's BOTH EAT.

normabyrd said...

DANA---I watch that nest last evening when we first saw #2 chick-----Enlarged & it was a real joy to watch her feed the chick---

wvgal_dana said...

For Norfolk Va if you right click on the picture, go to zoom, it will make the picture "full screen". It is better to see the egg with. It looked like a small hole in top of egg. 10:10am

wvgal_dana said...

Osprey back

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---I hope the osprey comes back too----Beautiful bird---What age--do you think---

normabyrd said...

YEP DANA!---She is BACK!---Check the little eaglets---all cuddly!! Ahhhhhhhh! Mom seems to be resting---

wvgal_dana said...

Suzanne have you ask Lisa anything about the Osprey with one leg??

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning All All eagles present and accounted for!
**On the VA screen, all I do is double click and it will come full screen - just like to NE one.Another double click will take it back down.

Dana - thanks for Steve's message you placed on Momsters.

MITS said...

GOOD MORNING ALL, HAVE A GOOD EAGLE, FALCON, OSPREY WATCHING DAY

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Jo and Mits.

I did ask some questions of Lisa so I will let you know what she says.

Egg turning at our nest.

MITS said...

YES, SUZANNE, love the osprey, thought I had read somewhere that the males come back 1st and then the females several weeks later, when I get time I'll go read Lisa's osprey facts, still plowing thru e-mails:):):).

normabyrd said...

MORNING JO & MITS----JO--That's how I was watching the VA LADY yesterday when we saw Chick #2---Most beautiful pic.---

wvgal_dana said...

Female Osprey do have necklace.

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE & MITS---JIM noticed the necklace this a.m. when he checked in---

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE----Those little BW chicks really like to eat!!---They are REALLY GROWING fast!!

wvgal_dana said...

Adult male Ospreys arrive on their nesting territories a few days before the females. Found at this site: http://www.newyorkwild.org/osprey/osprey_info.htm

a female osprey will choose her mating partner based on the quality and location of the male's nest

So either the males are here an we haven't seen them Or it is a female passing through.

normabyrd said...

BLACK BIRDS--BW

wvgal_dana said...

BIG fish in Norfolk Va nest.
Keep a good eye out their for the "3rd chick" I believe today or tomorrow.

normabyrd said...

DANA---I read some about the OSPREYS too---A lot like the EAGLES--But I read after the juvies leave nest, but are still hanging around---DAD will stay to care for them & Mom moves out!

MITS said...

Eagle calling out at VA.

MITS said...

Check our nest, does anyone see anything??

normabyrd said...

SHARON OR JO----BUTA BUTA is asleep on the high log---& LUN LUN is lying on the floor, stretched out, directly below her asleep---Do you suppose she wants to buffer her fall????

normabyrd said...

KENT 1 EAGLE--on tree---Nest--MT

Mema Jo said...

Not sure, Mits! Just maybe. Need a clearer view of the eggs... It's just the motion of the adult was like a
"feeding motion" MTBR

Mema Jo said...

Norma - That very well could be! They said she did roll over in her sleep the other day and went Boom!

MITS said...

Man, I'm not going to get anything accomplised today, if I don't get away fro this puter:):).

Mema Jo said...

I have an early afternoon appointment so I am asking that you
Keep your eyes on OUR nest

& keep good notes
BBL

MITS said...

MITS said...

Belle has got the itchys...

MITS said...

lOOK AT THE BEAUTIFUL SUN, AT KENT SHING ON EAGLE.

MITS said...

MITS said...

our cam not refreshing for me....

MITS said...

ok now, didn't refresh for like 3 mins, it did that alot yesterday, than went down completely.

normabyrd said...

HI MITS---I have a feeling that TODAY WILL BE THE DAY!!!----Can't see what she is doing---Kinda like the VA LADY was acting---I will check in & out---Some things I HAVE to do too!----

normabyrd said...

WISH she would TURN AROUND!!!

MITS said...

Me too, Norma.

MITS said...

Belle is looking around like she wants to go out for lunch.

MITS said...

That is one hungry eagle at KENT, been eating a long time.

MITS said...

Feeding time at VA.

MITS said...

Both eagles in nest at KENT.

Mema Jo said...

Beware of the cam
My cam wasn't refreshing - I hit F5 - black screen - closed it down - back up - still black screen!!!!

Mema Jo said...

It just came back up

I really need to see what is under
our Belle............

MITS said...

Mine has been doing that for about 45 mins, Jo.

normabyrd said...

JO---Maybe a NCTC employee could run over & look under her wings--- ho!------ I think something is happening---she seems to be holding her wings differently----

MITS said...

1st born at VA is really stretching up for food now.

normabyrd said...

THANKS MITS---Isn't that AWESOME---That little fuzz ball reaching up for food-----

MITS said...

Yes, Norma it is a sight to see:).

MITS said...

Belle was just up turning eggs.

MITS said...

Wish the stupid black screen would stop!!!!!!

MITS said...

she's turning eggs again, but lines are interfering with pic.

Mema Jo said...

Leaving for my appointment
BBL

MITS said...

Both eaglets in view at VA.

MITS said...

oppps, one just ducked back down in the nest.

MITS said...

Belle turning eggs again, moving some of the nesting material out of the nest bowl.

normabyrd said...

MITS---Is that TAI in No.1---"Lying on the ground"---He is so COOL!!

MITS said...

Norma, when I just looked Tai was on cam 2, lying at one of his spots, nice and cool, temp here is 69°

kirine said...

Feeding time for the VA eaglets. Both clearly in view.

MITS said...

OOPPS! got there too late to see them, Jennifer.

MITS said...

Belle turning eggs again.

normabyrd said...

MITS--Sorry---I put the wrong cam #---Bet he is WARM---It's 72° here---Just took trash out----I can tell him from MEI--If I see his "behind"----He has a white rear! When do you go to ZOO-- tomorrow?

normabyrd said...

The CO site was blank this a.m.--Still blank---She looked exhausted when I saw her earlier---

kirine said...

Were there 3 eggs at the VA nest too? I'm starting to think that the 3rd hatched. One of the parents is feeding again, and I saw that both eaglets were off to the left with Mom or Dad paying attention to something right in front of them.

MITS said...

YES, Jennifer you are correct, there were 3 eggs at VA this year:). YES, Norma ZOO day tomorrow should be around 75°.

MITS said...

Must be warm at VA, her mouth is open, flies all over the fish.

paula eagleholic said...

Afternoon, all. Back home. Surgery went fine. Kid is home asleep.

Was there a switch? That looks like Lib on the nest. And look at the tail on the right - extra white.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle just left, 3 eggs in view

paula eagleholic said...

Egg roll

paula eagleholic said...

Back on the eggs.

MITS said...

Shift change at out nest> 3 eggs still intact.

paula eagleholic said...

Extra white is gone, must have been some feathers out of place

paula eagleholic said...

Nope, guess that's Lib!

paula eagleholic said...

There is an extra piece of white something in the nest w/ the 3 eggs. Gonna put the pic on Momsters.

normabyrd said...

HI PAULA---Glad things went well for your son!----I think it was feathers out of place---I though she appeared to have her feather spread most of the day----Would the warm weather have anything to do with it---

paula eagleholic said...

I want a zoom lens for next year!

paula eagleholic said...

Thank you, Norma.

Yes, Norma, it might. Although I am glad neither of them has looked too warm.

paula eagleholic said...

There are other white pieces in the nest, too. One right to the left of her tail...could be bones.

normabyrd said...

VA LADY--Looked down & one little face--then two were looking directly at her---So she is feeding again---Going to catch up with the BW pair--ho!

normabyrd said...

1 in Nest---1 on side of tree --KENT

MITS said...

Glad everything is well with your son, PAULA:). I misssed Belle going out of the nest, but got a good pic of LIB coming in, sent it to JO.and yes, the pic I had of 3 eggs looked like something next to them, at first thought, thought it was part of a shell, but eggs still look intact last time I saw them.

normabyrd said...

CO pic still blank--

paula eagleholic said...

Osprey at Osprey nest

paula eagleholic said...

And there was a one legged osprey on the osprey cam this morning! Wow, wouldn't be hard to identify her!

kirine said...

A zoom lens would work or just a second camera on a different angle. I like the angle we have at the VA nest so maybe a side angle as well as top down.

paula eagleholic said...

That was a 2 legged female osprey

paula eagleholic said...

A side angle at Kent would be great...although you've got to protect it from the poop shoots! It would need to be strategically placed!

paula eagleholic said...

2 tuckered eaglets at BW...they are really starting to move around, aren't they?

MITS said...

Both eagles at KENT.

paula eagleholic said...

Egg roll, now facing 5pm

paula eagleholic said...

2 parents at BW

Mema Jo said...

I have returned - went right to the 'working' cam and then read your comments. I really was hoping you had a chick while I was gone.
Paula, very glad to hear that the knee surgery went well.

Mema Jo said...

Late quick nap before dinner. BBL

MITS said...

LOL, Sunny you are correct about that:).

paula eagleholic said...

Belle looks very comfy in the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, Sunny they popped right back up, LOL

Jo, Glad it wasn't knee surgery! It was a hernia.
BRB

MITS said...

lots of fish at BW.

MITS said...

JO, YOU HAVE MAIL.

MITS said...

i STILL SEE THE EGG AT va.

wvgal_dana said...

I am back

Looking at comments. You mean no more Osprey's sighted at BW Osprey nest??

No hatch of 3rd egg Norfolk??? Ok she was waiting for me to get back lol

No action out of Belle well my guess for 1st egg date isn't here yet. That is why she is waiting.

And I am full of it lol

My "pink kitten does not have the fireplace anymore. She is for summer; smelling the flowers. ( :

KateAZ said...

They sure are watching that VA nest closely. The parents have been jumpy and when both chicks just fed, they zoomed in on them because the 3rd egg was partially visible behind the chicks. To me, itlooked like there might be a hole or crack in it.

paula eagleholic said...

Egg turning our nest

wvgal_dana said...

Shoot Belle was off the eggs still 3 showing. Sorry didn't get here in time to let you all know.

MITS said...

Dana, glad the fireplace is gone and the flower is back:). Yes, KATEAZ, they are really trying to zoom in on that final egg:).

wvgal_dana said...

I love watching Chubs and Tiny in BW they are so cute.

paula eagleholic said...

Hard to say, might be my imagination, but keep seeing a dark spot on one of our eggs....could be something, could be grass....I guess it's really too hard to tell w/ the pics so small....

wvgal_dana said...

Earlier in VA I seen small hole in top of the 3rd egg.

Paula I know you are talking about one of our 3 eggs. Can't tell when enlarge pic.

Bet everyone is wondering if Star is going to stay in the nest at Kent tonight.

wvgal_dana said...

Both parents in VA and still see the egg.

paula eagleholic said...

BBL, gotta go to grocery store

MITS said...

NEW UDATE ON TAI-SHAN

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mits, our little prince is growing right up, acting like a big boy now!! :):):)

MITS said...

Yes, Sharon he is growing up, too fast. How ya doing?:)

MITS said...

look at those chicks in VA.

MITS said...

I think I like the name SASSY for the 1st born at VA, because that's what that chick is.

paula eagleholic said...

Ok, so only 2 so far in VA?

MITS said...

so far....

MITS said...

Eagle at osprey nest.

wvgal_dana said...

BW chicks ready to chow down again

wvgal_dana said...

Mits could you hear the one at VA your calling "Sassy" sassing its Mother? lol

Mema Jo said...

Dinner is over - cooked on the grill - tasted so good. Nothing new at OUR nest this afternoon. Can't be too far away!

wvgal_dana said...

Chubs got fed some at BW now Tiny is working his way for the food and parent is feeding him.

wvgal_dana said...

Anybody see the egg at VA

wvgal_dana said...

Just seen 3 eggs at our nest

wvgal_dana said...

No eagles in Kent now

MITS said...

lol...good one Dana:).

KateAZ said...

We may have an egg at the Hancock-SIdney nest. Mama was there for a long time and I just saw her act like she was rolling an egg and then doing the "Hornby wiggle" to settle back in. The next cup is so deep that even in the closeup I couldn't see into the cup.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Belle is going to have night duty, unless a switch occurs soon...egg turning

paula eagleholic said...

Can't see a darn thing!

MITS said...

KATEAZ, she has been in the nest the whole day, so that is a good sign.

MITS said...

Star is back at KENT, LAYING IN THE NEST.

wvgal_dana said...

Kent female has all day been in and out of the nest. Right now she is not in the nest.

wvgal_dana said...

Mits what time is on where she is laying in nest. I don't have her in the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - it is still 1 1/2 hours or so till their sundown

MITS said...

Dana, she was laying in the nest an hour ago when I saw her.

wvgal_dana said...

The way she has been in and out of the nest. Tonight could be her night. Who knows for sure not me.

I just didn't see her in the nest when I looked that time.

MITS said...

KENT sunset is 7:10 PDT.

wvgal_dana said...

They both are at the nest at Kent.

Mema Jo said...

Kate, if that turns out to be true with the Sidney nest - KENT will be the last that we know of to have eggs.

Hey Everybody - Just got back from buying new pair of walking sneakers so that I can hit the treadmill tomorrow full force! lol
It is still rather warm outside...
(Warm-comfortable)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good evening everyone. Haven't read the blog yet but is there an egg at Kent? I see both of them there!!

Mema Jo said...

Sharon, I think Kent is settling in for the arrival of an egg. Don't have any proof it is there yet.
Good shot just now - Don't see any egg.

I have not been able to get FtStVrain CO cam up at all today.

Mema Jo said...

Kent Cams can really make you green with envy!

sandyshaw said...

Here are the Senate Subcommittee members. Senator Byrd is on the Subcommittee and is Chairman of the full committee, and the eagle is a WV voter, so he's a good possibility. I think he would be interested in the educational aspect, too. I plan to e-mail his office. Aren't those eagles amazing. And four falcon eggs on the James River Bridge--hurray for them! We have good days and bad days here, but the cams keep me going. And the eagle buddies.

Mema Jo said...

Hi Sandra, good to hear from you.
The falcon eggs are being laid & I had almost forgotten how beautiful their eggs are!

Mema Jo said...

Sen Byrd is mainly responsible for getting the NCTC campus in WV. I'm uncertain how to approach the subject of our cam in such a way to make an impact. I need NORMA or you Sandra to maybe compose something that we are all on the same page.

MITS said...

WOW 4 eggs now at JRB...fantastic! Thanks for all the info, Sandra.

movin said...

Good evening, everyone....

Guess there's still no chick in our nest??

I saw both in the Kent nest a couple of minutes ago, staring at the spot where they wanted an egg to be, but there isn't. Now she's back on the egg cup with some grasses under her, so maybe she's going to produce soon.

Still haven't gotten a chance to see the VA chicks, and they don't have a night capability....

Keep the eyes peeled, Eagle lovers,
Jim

MITS said...

She does look comfy, Jim

Just Vicky said...

Kent needs to stay put now and produce!!!

MITS said...

Jo, I agree...we need to get NORMABYRD in action!

movin said...

Check S. Cruz now.
Jim

movin said...

Well, they were both there...changing the guard in the fog and the eggs were visible.

Wonder how they fish in this kind of fog...

Jim

MITS said...

WOW, a little foggy, it seemed to be that way at TH and WE today, but SC was looking kinda of good til now, Jim.

Mema Jo said...

I just checked SC, Jim.
Can't tell which adult it is.
What did you especially want me to see? They sure have zoomed the camera in.

Mema Jo said...

Jim, How about that picture for
on your wall! Beautiful nest!

Mema Jo said...

JIM Look at KENT nest now.

MITS said...

both eagles down in Kent nest.

MITS said...

just one in nest now.

Mema Jo said...

I feel really stupid by not seeing
through the FOG!!!! I thought they had a backdrop! lol

MITS said...

lol....Jo, can you hear the frogs croaking at SC?

MITS said...

WOW that is so peaceful and serene at SC.

MITS said...

Ribbet Ribbet at SC nest.

MITS said...

All 4 eggs are visible at the JAMES RIVER BRIDGE NEST.

MITS said...

I think STAR is trying....

Just Vicky said...

No one at Kent, not in the tree not in the nest, all gone!

MITS said...

I thought she looked like she wanted to leave at KENT.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Star just flew the coop. I guess no eggs there tonight! I love those camera shots. We won't have to miss anything there!

MITS said...

KENT is a beautiful site, can't wait for the action to start.

Mema Jo said...

No I did not hear any frogs.
And you know what, the wind wasn't even making a sound........ oh my

Mema Jo said...

The female osprey down at BW today is really one beautiful lady! Lisa has a picture of her.

Mema Jo said...

Need to place photos into Momster site from Suz & Mits. I'll reutrn to say good night - but you all may be gone by then...... so Good Night to any early birds.....

wvgal_dana said...

Well been talking to sister on phone. While I've been commenting and looking at cams. Tired it's nity nity for me.

Good Morning Suzanne.

MITS said...

Don't know where Momma Falcon is tonight at JRB, but 4 eggs are still in sight.

MITS said...

Our eagle looks like it is turning eggs.

MITS said...

The pic of the osprey from this a.m. is just beautiful.

MITS said...

Belle is laying in such a peculiar position tonight.

movin said...

Good night/Good morning, everyone...

I have a feeling that tomorrow will see a hatchling here.

Jim

Mema Jo said...

Good Night All
pleasant dreams and peaceful sleep
prayers being said for all..


I hope your right, Jim


Morning Suzanne

Just Vicky said...

I think you are right Jim, keep that happy thought!
