Video of last evening's visit at

eagletmomsters.blogspot.com

:)

MITS said...

Thanks for the heads up, Paula...yes, think Steven is telling us something.

paula eagleholic said...

Well I am laughing this morning at the BW osprey and their "marsh muck" and the eaglets and their "bloody good meal".

paula eagleholic said...

NE coming up right away this morning...sunny there.

Maine, snow on the nest, not to breezy - hope it melts some there today!!

paula eagleholic said...

They are a riot, Suz.

Bob Quinn said...

Did you all see the article today on the Wilson Bridge eagle George and the hussy that attacked Martha:

Bob

MITS said...

No, Bob, haven' looked at the a.m. rag yet, but am heading there now...to see it, thanks for the heads-up. I had written to some of the people involved with watching George about a month ago, and they had seen him with the "other woman".

paula eagleholic said...

LOL! You aren't biased against that lil ol' homewrecker, are you Bob?

MITS said...

Good Article, Bob...we prefer here on the blog to call her Monica:).

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, Mits, that's about the only name they didn't call her in that article.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I ain't ready to make nice with that beast of an eagle!! Miss Monica!

paula eagleholic said...

NE cam quaility has gotten really poor, was nicer earlier....can't tell what is going on there...can't seem to get comfy on the eggs. But haven't seen anything under the eagle yet, either, eggs or chicks.....

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, Suz, it was a great visit!!

CamsGrammy said...

Good morning everyone just have a minute to check in. Do you know how long the nest in Maine has been left alone? Wanted to tell everyone Happy Easter and have a great weekend with family and friends.

Bob Quinn said...

Headed out to BW shortly. I'll let you know if I post anything worthwhile later.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thanks Bob!!

Mema Jo said...

Good Late Good Friday Morning
So Steve heard you Paula and deleted the second new thread..lol So glad that you saw Liberty & Belle this am, Suzanne. Good to hear from Bob -- hope he gets some more fantastic pics at BW today.
Want to watch your video, Paula and go check out emails and especially want to find out what George has been up to with Monica.

Blessed Easter Greetings To All

beth said...

Can someome tell me the names of the eagles at Norfolk Botanical?

KateAZ said...

I THINK I just saw a brand new chick in the NE nest. Mom hadn't settled for more than 30 seconds at a time, just kept checking what was under her, then she moved off for just a moment and I think the top "egg" has turned into a chick, and I think I saw it move a little. The picture is so small I can't be sure, tho.

glo said...

Yes KateAZ I saw it too. Don't think its quite all the wayout of the shell yet, but definite movement going on and Dad had just brought lots of fresh warm grass within a minute of seeing that egg wiggling and half at least hatched. Good luck trying to watch the site today, its a struggle to get in. I have a video started that I hope to be able to get the Finishing touch on as the day proceeds.

paula eagleholic said...

Camsgrammy - They were only off the nest for about 10 minutes

Bob - Hope you get some good ones!

Beth - Is that you? I don't know of any names for the VA chicklets...

paula eagleholic said...

Cool, Kate - glad someone has seen something....been watching all morning....of course she does that when my computer is acting up and needs a reset!!

Mema Jo said...

Whoo Hoo! Kate and Glo I was right there with you. Top egg - not all the way out - I totally agree.

Mema Jo said...

Sun coming out in Maine :)

Anne-Marie said...

My, My, My.... First there is the (three some) going on in Catalina and now I read we have a floozie home wrecker on the east coast. Arent there enough men to go around? Tisk, tisk, tisk, How racy. Good Morning all and what a beautiful day. Every time I start typing I get a call from one of my kids wanting to know what to bring for the picnic tomorrow. I have one going down the isles of Sams club with his cell phone and shopping for me and another cooking and calling for instructions. Here I sit reading your blogs and visiting. What a life. I feel very blessed this morning. I got my info on my Alaska cruise last night and I read where there is a rehabilitation center for eagles and others in Sitka. I will be there for a whole day and I'm making arrangements for a private visit. I'm thrilled.Paula I wanted a sweatshirt to wear there. And yes Jo I will sign up as soon as I can. Hugs.

paula eagleholic said...

3 passed out chicklets in VA

paula eagleholic said...

Heidi - There is also an eagle 3-some in Texas - search for Cottonwood eagles....website w/ pictures...no video or cam.

Anne-Marie said...

Ah Sunny,( that was my name is college)Just wait until it gets September and it has cooled down and the weather is perfect in your area and I'm still dying of 101-112 in this valley with no breath in sight and then you can go neener-neener. And yes, there is always room for one more. Bring the sunscreen and the kids.. :)

MITS said...

Both adults at NE, looks like a chick and an egg..I double-left click on pic to make it larger

MITS said...

adult eagle at NE just sat down again.

paula eagleholic said...

MIts, I thought it looked like a chick too, but I was on the 45k connection...not as clear as the 128 connection...Dad did bring a nice fish for the new baby!

MITS said...

Dad brought a humongeous fish for the little one, yeah, pic is not great, but better than nothing.

Anne-Marie said...

Mom brought a fish at Norfolk. Babe doing the "funkey chicken dance"

Mema Jo said...

I emailed NE about what we think (know)we see. The due date for hatching was yesterday the 4th. I will let you know when I get a response of confirmation. For the longest time I couldn't get on due to 'all lines were busy'.

What's an eaglet doing a funky
chicken dance for? Doesn't he know that chickens can't soar in the sky.
lol-AnneMarie! Glad you are having a great pre Easter weekend day! Sent you a video by email to top off your day!

Mema Jo said...

Paula Thank you so much for completing the Momster album pics for yesterday. I love the 'beaking' one!

Mema Jo said...

CO eggs are due 7th or 8th...Not far away..

Mema Jo said...

Oldest chick at Norfolk trying to feed himself and play with a stick at the same time! lol

Mema Jo said...

In fact - all three Norfolk chicks are feeding themselves...Bet mom will be relieved at what they have learned to do!

MITS said...

eagle just up at NE, with wiggly lines can tell how much chick is moving

paula eagleholic said...

Definite hatch at Barton's Cove!!

MITS said...

oh yeah,,,for sure

Anne-Marie said...

Paula, which one is Bartons Cove.? I cant keep up with you guys, work keeps getting in my way. :)

paula eagleholic said...

NE energy is Barton's Cove =

http://www.neenergyinc.com/eagles/
live/default.asp

Anne-Marie said...

thank you Paula

MITS said...

No worries, Heidi...I still have problems, but when I find a site I like, I put it on my favorites list.

Mema Jo said...

Heidi - it may give you a message - I can't get back in right now. I'll give it a few and then try again.
Lines Are Busy with Chick Watchers

Mema Jo said...

MITS - thanks for the article concerning John Hancock trying to keep them from downing the tree and moving the eagle's nest.
Progress?

paula eagleholic said...

Sometimes the 45k is easier to get onto than the 128k at Barton's Cove.

Anne-Marie said...

Mitts I can do that at home but I'm careful about how much I put on the computer at work. I clean it every night before I go home.I've been here 18 years and I dont want to cause waves.In a company this big your just a number. Thanks so much for your help.

glo said...

I am currently uploading a video with the finishing touch on the Northeast Hatch today at Bartons Cove. It will probably be an hour or more before it is available off of the For the Love of Eagles BLOG by clicking my name

Watching new life enter this world on Good Friday in its own way is as neat as watching our Spunky fledge on Flag Day....these eagles know more about somethings than we ever thought they did....JMHO

What a Wonderful World, What an Awesome Creator.

Mema Jo said...

Suzanne's morning pics of the visit are now in Momster Album.

Mema Jo said...

I am glad you got the Barton's Cove nest hatching on video, Glo. I am very anxious to see it.

Mema Jo said...

Need to go to the kitchen for awhile. Easter food preparation. BBL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good afternoon everybody. Had to run errands and take Andrew to get his hair cut. It was way too long.

My comcast email is now history so please use the shurnlea@frontiernet.net now.

I hope everybody is having a wonderful day!

Anne-Marie said...

Going to the dentist. Cap loose. Back later

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I just discovered that if the pic isn't there on our cam, if you right click on the red X, click on "show picture" it comes right up.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

WEAGLE ALERT IN OUR NEST!

paula eagleholic said...

paula eagleholic said...

NillaWafer said...

THATS BELLE IN FRONT FOR SURE.. BROAD SHOULDERS...BELLE GONE

paula eagleholic said...

Rats, Belle left.

Mema Jo said...

Wook at those weagles! WOW!

NillaWafer said...

Nothing had been put in Journal as of yet about Eagles... Maybe they are waitng for the Sunday paper...

NillaWafer said...

Lib left n came right back

NillaWafer said...

working on nest at 12 o clock position sticks

Mema Jo said...

You all sure that isn't Belle in the nest now........I know its better to see them together in order to know.And you all saw them together.
Just looks large and the tail looks like Belle's.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I wove wooking at those weagles!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Belle came back

NillaWafer said...

Who thinks we may have an egg laid (eaglebun) on Easter?? lol

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Does look big enough to be Belle for sure!

NillaWafer said...

BOTH IN NEST KIND OF COZY SNUGGLIN

paula eagleholic said...

Was watching the new chick at Barton's cove as our eagles were in the nest...poor little guy tumbled right over!

Lib is back now....

paula eagleholic said...

Eaglebun! I like that!!

paula eagleholic said...

Before Easter would be OK, too!

NillaWafer said...

Belle closet to camera... doesnt matter who is who as long as they are in the nest and we get an egg soon!!

NillaWafer said...

LOL me to Paula i am anixious to see lil eaglebuns floppin n hoppin all over the nest....lol

paula eagleholic said...

Looked like he was giving her the "I wuv you" look.

beth said...

I hope Belle gives us a egg soon. Does anyone know if the Norfolk babies have names or is the name contest for them. Do the Norfolk mom and dad have names?

NillaWafer said...

arent those images amazing side by side just moving heads together in unision... taking pictures

Mema Jo said...

Beth Most nest don't name the adult eagles or the eaglets. Norfolk has never mentioned adult names nor have they had any contest for eaglet names. Blackwater always has a contest for their eaglets' names - it is going on now. Biologists never name them - but we in Shepherdstown have Belle and Liberty - DC had George & Martha(deceased), Kent has Star and Spirit. Names are because of HUMAN BEINGS becoming involved.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am saving an insane amount of pics from this visit!

NillaWafer said...

only 1 in nest now

NillaWafer said...

me to Sharon each 30 second they changed head positions awsome pictures

Mema Jo said...

Those 30 sec pics are great for making videos!

paula eagleholic said...

Had to step out for a moment, is that Belle or Lib left in the nest.

beth said...

Mema,
Thanks for your answer. Let me get back to Liberty & Belle. We sure hope Belle gives a n egg today.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, Sharon, I took over 100 last other night!!!

NillaWafer said...

yup Jo i snapped each 30 sec and each time each eagle was looking same direction next they changed same direction.. now 1 remains cant tell which one it is..

paula eagleholic said...

Howdy, Beth. I answered you earlier on VA today, but you must have missed it. No names that I know of for VA eaglets.

NillaWafer said...

Looks like Belle to me?

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Belle to me.

paula eagleholic said...

On Second thought, I think it is Lib.....

NillaWafer said...

BOTH IN NEST

NillaWafer said...

NillaWafer said...

paula eagleholic said...

OMG, they are both still there.

Mema Jo said...

Nilla I saw all 3 Norfolk chicks feeding themselves today..They still like Mom or Dad to do it.

paula eagleholic said...

Mema Jo said...

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks Paula. I couldn't figure how to get back to that site. I'm learning though.

paula eagleholic said...

paula eagleholic said...

Beth, if you need any help, just yell! :)

Mema Jo said...

I don't think anyone, unless Nilla did, got a shot of the HankyPanky.

movin said...

LIBERTY IS HANGING CASUALLY FER SURE.

JIM

paula eagleholic said...

movin said...

JIM

paula eagleholic said...

That's ok, Jim, Jo got the HP one!

Jo, I put my pics in the album already....

I am heading home to finish house cleaning before company comes...I'll try to check in later...have a great evening!!

Mema Jo said...

I didn't get the HP one... :(
Did you Nilla?

NillaWafer said...

Sorry i didnt get the hankey pankey picture... Duhhh i thought he was just excerising his wings...lolllllllllll

glo said...

I got the Hanky Panky one at least I think I did . I will add it to the Album in a little while.

The Video of the Hatching process which covers about 3 hours and has been cut down to 7 mins is not ready on the For The Love Of eagles BLOG.

I hope you will take time to visit, I really think you will enjoy.. It won't be a boring 7 mins at all.

MITS said...

Jo, thanks, for sending the video from Bill of Barton's, to the Eaglet Momsters', it was great:). nice when someone from the site actually replies.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks, Glo. Sharon got the before..and Paula got the after...

The email from Bill at Barton's Cove was more then I could have wanted. I am anxious to see Glo's also.
Glo you may wish to send your video's link to:

Mema Jo said...

It is dinner time in my home...
It's grilled cheese or scrambled eggs!! That's because it's a very special day!! Good Friday.

Anne-Marie said...

My Heavens, all I did was go to the dentist and everyting happened. Remind me to be a dentist in my next life or marry one. I may have to take out a second to pay for it all. Now I have to go to a specialist. All of this from a cracked cap.Oh well, the day isnt over.

Mema Jo said...

Well I hope the latter half of your day is beautiful and not like the first half. Cracked crown - depends on which tooth as to repairing it.
This is what happens as we add on the years - Happened to me too!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Did she put the big stick out of the nest or just move it to the other side?

MITS said...

off she goes

MITS said...

hubby home, going to put dinner on table...BBL.

carolinabeachmom said...

Would she possible be sitting on the egg cup. We might just get an egg for Easter. That would be great!

NillaWafer said...

NillaWafer said...

MT NEST

carolinabeachmom said...

MT nest now. Guess they won't be staying the night tonight. :( Time will tell. Three visits today is a good sign, maybe, tho.

Anne-Marie said...

Fantastic... I am so glad she moved that stick. I was ready to move it for her. She is really house keeping.Expecting company for the holiday?

Mema Jo said...

Is everyone staring at the MT nest to see if Belle returns

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh well, all quiet on the darkening front. I have to go for now. Might check in later. Good seeing the eagles and having others see them too

Anne-Marie said...

What a day, I'm beat and I have a nail appt. I'll be back later to check in and read your blogs. Its so cute to watch Lib fuss around the nest cup. He looks like an expectant father in the delivery room.Belle is too busy fluttering around to sit down and do some serious concentration.I bet if he could lay it for her he would. LOL

paula eagleholic said...

LOoks like everyone is preparing for the Easter holiday, including myself. Got the last of the cleaning done and even managed to walk the dogs. Hope you have a great evening!!
