Good sunny Sunday Morning
I have just signed on so I don't have a clue as to who is about to join me!
Enjoy your day Steve and thanks so much for giving us double the worth of threads!
Going to slide back & bring over the eagle watchers - our nest is MT
I am trying to send the article from the Los Angeles Times from this morning concerning the IWS trip over to Santa Cruz. Hope it comes thru.
The url is just too long for here and I had to register on their site to be able to view. We'll see...
Thanks, for the heads-up, Jo..heading out to noon mass soon:)
Great! Just checked and the article is in your emails from the Los Angeles times. It's a good report-describes us eagle watchers to a "t". Enjoy
TTUL this afternoon Mits.
It was a fantastic article...thanks for sharing.
Lunch time - I really hope everyone gets to go out and enjoy this beautiful day we are having.
While eating lunch I was watching the Kent's 2 egg roll and the Puget Sound's 1 egg roll. No new chicks yet today.
NE & VA Nest cams are still down.
Guess I'll check out the hawks & owls. Our nest is MT
I'm heading out to lowes in a few so I can say I enjoyed the day lol. Kent eagle is edgy it seems, maybe he/she feels movement beneath. I am afrad to leave the screen!
EAGLE ALERT
OUR NEST
I PROMISE YOU - There was an eagle in our nest...... Fast little devil!!
I believe you, Jo.
A VERY, VERY HAPPY SATURDAY...er...MAKE THAT SUNDAY MORNING TO EVERYONE!!
ONE CURE FOR THE "TOO-LONG-LINK-SYNDROME": Tinyurl.com.
You go to their site, copy-paste your url, and they give you a short (tiny) version.
Some people were discussing it on the Maine blog, and I've seen it around recently...just didn't know the details.
Now, I want to find a way to place a "clickable link" into a blog.... Any ideas?
Looks like our pair have a definite egg bowl (or cup) formed again... Has any breeding been observed lately?
Jim
something might be going on at KENT
Kent still has intact eggs, but she seems to be listening and looking closer at them, so maybe it is imminent.
Jim
KENT eagle jumping up and CALLING.
I said "she" at Kent, but I think it is the dad on the nest right now.
Jim
off the nest completely now, maybe and intruder near by, but still 2 eggs intact
ok, she is back
Mits, I thought I saw one egg with the end off of it briefly. Did you see that?
Jim
He's got his eyes closed and head tilted like he's listening...
Earlier when the egg roll was done at Kent, I thought I saw a very tiny line on the egg BUT couldn't be certain & didn't want to get anyone's hopes up.
Hi Mits
Hi Jim
Looks like some new greens in the Kent nest......
thought so too, Jim, but going to look at my pics now.
Puget Sound - both eagles in nest
Channel Islands have interesting goings on now...Santa Cruz cam is working again.
Jim
Going out for awhile.....BBL:):).
Mom must be gone to lunch on the BW Osprey nest...maybe with Dad.
Jim
Full view again of the Kent's 2 eggs.
Adult off of them just sitting looking at them... Now incubating again.
Signing off for a few hours -
Keep an eagle eye on Kent & Puget Sound nests if possible... I know someone will pass the word as soon as the event occurs and will have good
pics to share!
We still have MT nest... but I know they will visit sometime today or early evening..I'll be patient!
BBL
Mema Jo, here's what the url to that L.A. Times article looks like after a quick trip through "tinyurl.com".
http://tinyurl.com/yvgtt2
Shouldn't be a problem to copy-paste that to your browser.
By the way, the site asked to access my "clipboard" for some reason, but I denied them permission.
Try this site, you will like it.
Jim
Jim When I google and bring up the tinyurl.com site, it gives me a download for RegistrySmart.com. Is this what you downloaded???
We sometimes have a 4:00 visit - but none yet.........
Mema Jo,
No, I don't think that's what I did.
I just typed "tinyurl.com" directly into the address box in Explorer and hit "enter"...didn't get any intermediary programs...went directly to the site.
Jim
I'll try again...
I got it. Thanks, Jim.
I don't know how to enter a link on the blog and have others open it.
On the IWS forum they do it all the time.
Mema Jo,
If you are talking about a "clickable link"... that deleted comment just above was a failed experiment to create one of those.
A man (from Cal) gave instructions on the Maine blog, including a clickable link, which resulted from his work, but there must have been a step skipped. When I did it exactly by the printed instructions, it published the whole construction line and no clickable link ... back to the drawing board for now.
I think at least one of the photographers, who publishes in our blog, uses clickable links...do you remember?
Another thing, Paula is 'in' to that blog you mentioned, so maybe she knows how to do it.
Jim
Both adults in Kent nest scoping out eggs.
Now there's one adult and a large fish (being consumed)...the eggs still look intact.
Jim
Both birds in Kent nest and both looking up at something oops one in nest now, one adult is eating and the way he/she is looking at eggs maybe one is ready to hatch... nevermind back on eggs
Robynann...
The Kent pair has been acting like they're expecting one to hatch all day. It could be a while though, since birds can hear through the shells (both directions) up to two days before hatching.
Wouldn't be surprised if one started to hatch very soon though.
Jim
Check the Kent nest now..
507pm Egg Roll Kent - still 2 eggs visible at this time.
No visitors yet to our nest.
Need to leave for about 2 hours..
Keep your eyes open!!
BBL
Right about now I could use that extra Sunday that Jim was offering....LOL HI, BYE, gotta finish mowing the grass, ran the mower out of gas, but hubby just brought more.(darn)
Thanks Jim, they were acting like that yesterday too when I was watching them. So maybe today or tomorrow. Now I know what expectant dads must feel like lol
You have mail Robyn
Yes, and I need to do some things too...looks OK for a while.
Back later.
Jim
Thanks Jo got it and sent another link to you :)
Thanks Jo for the Link. I don't know how to get three cams at once, so I really appreciate this. I am fairly new to fooling with the computer. Our daughters bought us one for Christmas but didn't tell us how to use it. We are self-taught, along with a "Computer For Dummies" book.(I swore I would never get into the computer world---but I have no choice now.) I don't know what I would do without it now!!
Sounds like my story, Costume lady...thought I would never get involved in computer, still have a lot to learn,
feeding time at puget sound, still only 1 chick
The WDFW bluebirds are starting to hatch, you can find them on the KENT SITE in upper left hand corner.
Hi gang, been lurking. Opened our pool after church this afternoon. I really hated that we had tadpoles on the cover and I couldn't save all of them. We put as many as we could in the creek, b ut couldn't save all of them. Mema jo, love d the article. gonna get ready for work tomorrow. Lots of papers to grade and one final to prepare. Love ya all, and thanks for making my birthday Friday so special. Catch you all tomorrow. God Bless You every one. donna
Weagle walert!
Posted on the wrong thread. Both in nest
Both gone.
They're gone now...got some pics, not too many.
Jim
Robyn - The link you sent to me I didn't get it... Honest it wasn't on there... Wish you would send again. THanx.
Just got home..... Hope I can see our Weagles!
Well, I am about 20 minutes too late I guess. Jim, I know you got a pic or two!
I wonder where Spidey has been hiding. It is really warm enough for him to be out at night.
Darn I watched for awhile and then left to watch something on TV and missed the short visit.
JIM, YOU HAVE MAIL
I took 2 pictures this afternoon on the Falcon WV site (on the rocky clift). Be darn if I can find where I saved them. Mits & Sandra I had so wanted you to see them. The falcon wasn't nesting - just standing there being beautiful looking out on that view.
I see that our Back-Up Sunday thread has disappeared! I think Steve must have been on!
Kent looking at eggs...maybe right hand one is hatching.
My sister said there was 2 sunday threads, I told her she was seeing things...lol
The Kent egg in question "looked like" it might have a crack around the circumference of the end, which is the way eagle chicks crack them open. However, I only got a glance at it before the mom settled back down on them.
Jim
Anyone know what they mean on the Puget Sound site when they say the fledglings of last year tore the nest apart??
The thing fell out of the tree, or what?
Jim
West End chicks are lolling in front of the camera.
The NY Red Tailed Hawk is on the nest
Really large hawk!
http://tinyurl.com/ytrgel
That's the Tiny url I made)
See if it works for the RedTailHawk
Over on the Momsters site placing Jim's pics of tonight's visit in the album....... Holler if you need me!
This evening's visit pics are in
the momster's album
The Red-tail tinyurl works fine, Mema Jo.
I had to install a little software to get the stream...one thing, it's showing me pics from before 8 P.M. in Queens, but it's got to be 10 P.M. there now.
Jim
All 3 adults on the West End nest
Take a look at the Two Harbors nest...they are being fed. But what is that large white thing between the mother and the chicks?
Jim
Well, Good night, everyone (Sunday night, finally got it right)....
Have a great week...
Jim
I am ready to call it an evening.
Good Night &
Peace Be With You
Good Morning Suzanne
GOOD NIGHT ALL
Suzanne
When the dawn comes up at Kent
Get a good look for us all...
Spirit was on nest when it got dark & he was really unsettled.
Evening, all.
Have had a wonderful two days out here so far visiting the Channel Islands. We hiked to the nest yesterday and got to see K10 and K26 on the nest with the chicklet. It was so cool and well worth the hike.
Today we went to Santa Rosa Island, and got to hike that one too. Didn't see any eagles, but saw whales, dolphins and sea lions in the waters around Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa. On the way back from Santa Rosa, we went around Santa Cruz to pick up more people, and pulled into the harbor were you could look up the valley and see the Santa Cruz nest again. Really neat day. And a wonderful bunch of folks from the forum. Everyone has been super nice, full of hugs, gifts and well wishes.
On to Morrow Bay tomorrow, meeting up with another forum member, then on to Big Sur and San Francisco.
I see ya'll heard about the article in the times, the writer and photographer went on the hike with us. They were really nice guys and did a great job on the article.
Hope everyone has a great week, don't know when I will find a computer again!
BTW, you cannot insert a link on this blog! It won't accept them.
:)
Good morning, eagle world. Just checking through my email, don't see any pics of a new chick at Kent, so I'm guessing they didn't hatch yet. Hopefully today!
Beautiful moon and tons of start, but chilly! 45° at my house, and up to 57° here. Hopefully it will get warm today.
I see the BW eaglets have names. Darn, didn't win, but the names are nice anyway. Did like mine better, but hey, can't win 'em all. Our cam is refreshing, someone will open the blinds in a little while. Osprey nest is occupied, one off to the very right. Still too dark to see anything anywhere else, and the barn owl cam is still down. Has been down since Thursday. Bummer.
All have a great eagle day. Did we even have a weekend???? Went by so fast...
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
EAGLE ALERT!!! Early arrival.
Can't tell who it is, can see a white head and black body, looks like they're checking the egg cup. Oh, noow over at the launch pad. And it appears that the osprey that spent the night was our one legged faker...
BW chicks still snoozing.
BOTH NOW!!!
BW chicks were doing some wing flapping, our kids still there. Lib on his perch, Belle checking out the egg cup. Maybe she's checking to see if Lib laid an egg for her...
Looks like Belle may be moving a branch, but still too dark to tell.
Lib still on perch, Belle over by the tree.
Llib just left from his perch. Belle watching where he went. Osprey doing some wing flapps! Falcon on eggs.
Belle still there, just hanging around looking pretty! Osprey on edge of nest, BW chicks settled down again.
Belle still standing around looking pretty. A 2nd osprey has arrived, and the way the first one is mantling, this may be the other female. Wish they'd make up their minds who is gonna get the nest, and get busy laying some eggs!
Belle still standing over dining area. Only moving her head.
BW chicks are flapping all over the place! Original osprey is still sort of mantling, other one in nest.. oops, never mind, just flew off, so original is more relaxed now.
Libs back, both there now. Got a great shot of him coming in, and Belle had her wings out too.
Lib's checking out the nest, Belle is watching. Getting lines on cam...grrrrr!
Both still there. 2nd osprey arrived, first one is unhappy again.
Lib is now standing in front of Belle, but he has his head in the nest. She's looking at him. Both female ospreys are mantling. Lib just left, Belle still there.
She's getting closer, never mind, she just left. Started to say she was getting closer to the launch pad, but she took off. Other osprey female took off also.
Belle is back, and so is...geesh, make that was the 2nd osprey with a huge fish!
Lib just came back, saw more wings! But he's already on his perch!
Lib on perch, Belle right behind him in nest. One osprey standing in nest, PA falcon on eggs, still dark out west.
Good Morning, Suz.
I find myself looking forward to having my coffee in the morning and reading your commentary.
I watched the Bluebirds hatch yesterday. Absolutely fascinating!!
Have a good day.
Belle's inching toward the launch pad again, but she's still in nest. Lib still on perch.
Lib did his disappearing act again, Belle still in nest but near launch pad.
Poof, gone.
Well, I thought the osprey that caught the fish was the one that took off, but she's in the nest eating. It was the one legged faker that took off, so I'm guessing this is the female of our pair. BW chicks just hanging out, one on very edge of nest, our nest MT, I'll do pics and send them around in a few. PA falcon looking all pretty on her 5 eggs. Still too dark to see Kent and WA ospreys. Closed the barn owl cam, down.
One of the BW chicks is flapping his wings right on the edge of nest, but facing in. Other chick was in middle of nest. Now all I see if a chick wing and feet hanging on...
Now just the feet of 1 chick, have no clue where the other went.
Never mind, just came back...still flapping!
Osprey ate that huge fish and she took off. Both BW chicks have settled down. (At least till the next refresh!)
Justice and Majesty are sitting side by side, good shot of the size difference between the two. And the osprey saga continues... we have another osprey in nest. Can't tell if this is the first one that left, our little faker, or the male, can't see chest.
Ok, she turned around. This is a female in osprey nest. Thank you!
Suz--Where do I find the Osprey Cam.?
These eaglets are sure getting wing flap practice in this morning! Osprey still in nest, our nest MT, maybe they went for breakfast, PA falcon looking directly at cam, and still dark out west.
Morning, Costume Lady. That's the BW osprey cam.
http://www.friendsofblackwater.org/camhtm.html
All on one line, of course.
Ospreys are mating!!! I think...
There was lots of wing flapping going on, I'll have to go look at the pic But now they're both just standing there, so that's a good thing.
One of the ospreys just took off. Costume Lady, did you find them?
Lib and Belle pics from both visits this morning sent out.
Good Morning all. Thanks for your great commentaries inthe morning Suzanne. Wishing everyone a great Day. Sorry there was no FeedBlitz last night. I will work on something nice for tonight.
Good Morning Glo
Suz--thanks for the Osprey link.
Good morning, Glo. You're welcome. Maybe you can do something with the pics I sent out. You're welcome, Costume Lady. Got one standing in the nest now, but can't tell if it's a male or female. Just stood up, so maybe something/someone's coming. BW chicks are crashed, all those wing exercises this morning. They're laying down but not sleeping. Our nest MT. PA falcon on eggs. Site doesn't say anything about any hatchlings, so guess she still has 5 eggs. Not quite dawn yet in WA, so can't see anything yet. Time will tell...
Getting dawn in Kent! Won't be long now, hope I can catch either Star or Spirit turning eggs!!!
BW chicks laying down, but looking around. Still 1 osprey in nest, our nest MT, falcon laying on eggs, and still too dark to see WA osprey nest.
Dawn in Kent, but can (almost) only see a white head! Can see the osprey nest enough to know someone is on the eggs, but that's about all. BW chicks awake and just laying around, still 1 osprey on side of nest. Ours is MT.
Good Morning all....Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. beautiful weather.
There are still 4 owlets in the nest this morning, and the 2 baby hawks are doing well. Rat for breakfast...how lovely.
Well dang, missed the egg turning, checked when (I think) Star was finished! Grrrrrr!!!
Morning, Phyrfly. Can you get the owl cam? I can only view the 30 sec refresh, and it's been down since last Friday.
BOTH STAR AND SPIRIT IN NEST!!!
Star is on the eggs, and looks like Spirit is talking to eggs. There are the eggs!!!! Both parents looking at them!!!
Just had a switch, and egg turning. This may be Spirit on the eggs now.
I'm losing my NCTC cam. First tons on lines, then only half to a little pic, rest black. Refreshing doesn't seem to help any.
New thread - come on over!
BW Osprey Cam report - I was at BW yesterday and I'm not sure the struggle over the cam platform is completely over. There was an osprey on the platform and another on the other side of the drive on a post. A third osprey appeared high in the sky above the platform. The osprey on the post took off and gave chase. I lost track of them. A few minutes later an osprey appeared, dove and caught a fish. As soon as that happened the osprey on the platform took off and chased after the osprey with the fish. I don't know if they were mates and she was just looking for her share or it was an advesary. Lisa mentioned the male of the couple has not been good about sharing. She showed up back on the platform a few minutes later without lunch. Sunday's pictures are here:

Good morning, everyone,
I learned a way to place 'clickable links' into blogs from the Maine blog, and I'm going to try it on Bob's photo url from this morning...
