It is always a beautiful day when we can see eagles.

glo said...

Good morning all...hope your day goes beautiful all day long. I bought th enew lawn mower so I am broke. Thats Ok i am off to a Staff Meeting and we have wind chills and snow flurries so can't mow to day anyway.

Man do I ever need to be able to just sit for a while and enjoy the splendor and beauty of Eagles nesting.

Thats the plan for this afternoon.

MITS said...

I have never heard Mei Xiang this vocal before...if you want to heat all the different panda sounds, she is doing all of them this a.m.

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding in VA - chicks are getting really big!!

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Dad in VA brought in more food, tidied up the nursery a bit, then left...

CamsGrammy said...

Good morning everyone. I just looked in on Maine and there is no one on the nest. Do you know if they have been on the nest this morning?

CamsGrammy said...

Just rechecked and they are back.

VA LADY & her "Little Rebels" are a family I love to watch!!---Those "Little Rebels" have "white washed" the nearest stone in the nest----Don't they learn EARLY to "poop shoot"---That truly amazes me!

paula eagleholic said...

VA chicks passed out.

MITS said...

Was just watching MAINE nest Cams, and there was an eagle in the nest.

normabyrd said...

THANKS CAMSGRAMMY----LISA on her BW up-date has 2 beautiful Channel Islands videos to watch----1 is SAD as she says----But BOTH A GOOD WATCH----

paula eagleholic said...

That is the male on the WE nest at present.

Pretty neat how they feed the baby chicks with the eagle puppet, isn't it?

Maine, just got back in the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Suz, they will put them back into the West End and Two Harbors nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Maine eagle has been out of the nest at least 4 or 5 times this morning......haven't seen them turn the egg.

CamsGrammy said...

I have been trying to get the Barton Cove cam up and can't has anyone been able to get it up. Today is 35 days for the first egg.

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, Suz, that's one of em. The other is the Two Harbors nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Camsgrammy - I just NU up on the 45k.

MITS said...

I've been watching NU on the 128K, takes a few seconds to come on but it is on.

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning - see we have a full house
Camsgrammy Just got BartonCove nest cam up. Click on the 45K.
Suzanne What valuable info about osprey you gave us on the previous thread! Sorry to hear you are having lightning & thunder down there. It must have rained a good bit here last night-colder out now.
I watched Glo's video this morning of the CapeCoral eaglets...It so reminded me of BigBoy when he started the jumping and flapping! I hope he is ok out in the big world.

Mema Jo said...

I am missing FloralGirl, Megan
She is busy in the GH planting those seeds, I bet.

paula eagleholic said...

Dad is watching the Kids in VA

paula eagleholic said...

He is going to keep them busy by eating....LOL...now Mom is back too.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, Mom taking over for Dad now in VA

MITS said...

was Sprit earlier this a.m., Suzanne, could tell by his head markings, but right now looks like Star.

Jill said...

Martinsburg is cool and cloudy. Very little if any rain at this point. Probably about the same in Shepherdstown.

floralgirl said...

OK, Jo I heard you calling all the way outside:) Just hanging out with the plants,just transplanted calendulas, snapdragons, and more sweet william. Now a quick bite and I'm off to spend the afternoon with statice, and nicotiana. Kind of dreary and chilly here, wish it would rain or the sun would shine! Can't believe it will be in the 20's here tonight, someone has made a mistake, I ordered 70's and sunny, not 40's with snow flurries!

Sandy said...

OUr nest ALERT!!

Sandy said...

BOTH

floralgirl said...

Oh, now both!!

Sandy said...

Belle is digging around in the egg cup

Sandy said...

still both there...just hanging out...

Sandy said...

Is she, or isn't she......sitting on the cup????

Sandy said...

Just Belle now.

Sandy said...

gone now. I have pictures of this visit. Will send.........

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like they left some scraps behine.....

Jill said...

Working on website and missed it again. Darn. Could you all yell a little louder next time. LOL

Mema Jo said...

OK I missed it all - paying bills!

Anyone get any pics - send them to me
for momsters site.

Boy Sandy & Megan! You two got a good eagle fix. Aren't you glad I called for you, Megan.... lol

Anne-Marie said...

Tuned in just in time to see both in the nest. Maybe today is the day. They are acting like they are expecting something.I do one contract and peek in to see whats going on. I go back and forth all day.Happy Wednesday to all.I wont tell you its going to be 78 today. I'm afraid you will kick me off the blog. Sorry, the west is where the sissy's go.

Sandy said...

Jo, I just sent pics to Paula. Want me to send them to you too??

Next time I'll TRY to yell a little louder...Ha!

Sandy said...

Jo, pictures coming........

Jill said...

BW is very patriotic today. Red White and Blue stripes. LOL. Hopefully it will be up soon.

Jill said...

Eagle alert, our nest. Raining in Martinsburg now. Chilly.

paula eagleholic said...

What is the eagle doing laying in the nest?

Jill said...

Taking a nap, laying an egg????????? Don't know but it is still there.

paula eagleholic said...

Hello - anyone out there see anything???

movin said...

LOOKS LIKE BELLE IS AT LEAST TRYING OUT THE NEST NOW.

JIM

Sandy said...

an egg perhaps??

Jill said...

I just came back on and saw her sitting there. Hasn't really moved since I came in.

paula eagleholic said...

They stand up sort of squat when they lay them.

Sandy said...

She is certainly not moving and sitting in the "nesting" position....dare we hope???

Jill said...

She hasn't done anything except look around on the last few refreshes.

paula eagleholic said...

Me too, Jill. Was out of the office, came in an there she was.

Jill said...

Crap no picture.

Sandy said...

me three, and I have to leave in a few minutes. Take good notes for me, ok?

Jill said...

Back now. Still there, no movement

Sandy said...

I have a picture. she's still sitting there

paula eagleholic said...

If she's on one she popped it out in the last 45 minutes.

Jill said...

She's up.

Sandy said...

Up now...is she leaving, or popping out an egg??

Jill said...

uh oh. What is she looking at?

paula eagleholic said...

She's up

paula eagleholic said...

Was just checking it out, I suppose. She is gone now.

Sandy said...

and gone again.........

Jill said...

Nothing. Darn it. OH well time to take a shower and go to work. YUCK>

paula eagleholic said...

Maybe a sign of things to come? Still keeping fingers crossed, but not counting on another set of eggs.

Mema Jo said...

Belle is surely trying us loyal momsters with her actions! Maybe she knows it is going to be COLD again and is trying to wait for the sunshine.

BBL call from granddaughter to meet her at the mall! Go Mema!

movin said...

YES, SHE'S GONE NOW, BUT IT'S ALMOST CERTAIN NOW THAT THERE WILL BE A SECOND BROOD IN SHEPHERDSTOWN THIS YEAR.

CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION!

JIM

Jill said...

The nest looks different than it did this morning. Looks like lighter grass or something in there. ?????????????

Jill said...

Rain gone, sun trying to come back in Martinsburg. Still chilly.

movin said...

THERE IS A LIGHTER COLORED ROUND AREA IN THE REGION OF THE EGG CUP...DON'T KNOW EXACT CAUSE.

THEY WILL PROBABLY CARRY IN MORE DRY GRASS AND FORM THE CUP BETTER BEFORE SHE ACTUALLY STARTS TO LAY.

JIM

Sandy said...
