Jill said...

Thanks Steve. Don't think anybody is here tho. They will be surprised when they come back

glo said...

Good Morning all. Thanks Steve. Love the changes you have made. One of the greatest things about the new blogger is the ease by which you can customize the blogs to fit your style. I loved it immediatley when I found it!

Wishing everyone a Beautiful Eagle Day

Robyn said...

I love the new look, Thanks Steve :).

Morning Jo, Jill

Costume Lady said...

There are a few of us still here Jill and Steve--Good Morning to you both.

movin said...

Great looking changes, Steven, thanks very much.

Steven, we have recently discovered how to place 'clickable links' into blogs, and now someone has suggested learning how to insert pictures into blogs.

Do you know how to do that, or if it is possible??

Jim

movin said...

Mother Red-tail is on nest.

Suzanne said...

Thanks for the new thread, Steve. Neat new look. Thanks for telling me, Jim. I'm just a'blabbing on the old thread...
Some of us live in our own world when we get excited, and I was seeing the Kent chick again. There was a switch, Star is now on the baby and egg. Spirit was in the tree, but he took off. He's like a mother hen, supervising Mom.

movin said...

Is anyone else having troubles with the IWS (Channel Islands) site?

Suzanne said...

Haven't tried it, Jim. Sometimes I can get it, other times I can't. Jim, tried it, I can get into the IWS site, but not sure it's where you want to be. I'm sorta on a home page. Yes, I can get in to see all 3 nests.

Suzanne said...

Man, those kids are getting big!

MITS said...

HAPPY MAY DAY, EVERYONE. Nice look, Steven

Suzanne said...

Jim, can't view Santa Cruz, that used Windows Media Player, which is not on my computer here! Can view the others.

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning Mits,
Happy Cinco de Mayo to you too.
Hope Bethesda is as nice and sunny as it is here in Martinsburg.

HAPPY CINCO de MAYO to you all

MITS said...

WE AND TH are fine, Jim. But read last week, they were having problems with SC and were going to try and fix them.

Suzanne said...

DANG, Kent is locked up on all 3 cams!!!! Bummer...

MITS said...

They must be getting a ton of hits, Suz.

movin said...

The site itself is hard for me to access, and when I do, the whole page is 'scrunched up', so that the pictures of the cams are incomplete...the S.Cruz Media Player site appears on top, so that's OK.

???
I e-mailed the webmaster this morning..let's see.

Just started last night.

Jim

movin said...

Great day, everyone...
Got to get ready for work.

Jim

Robyn said...

Have a wonderful day all I am going to socialize for a bit and enjoy the day bfore he rains come in :)

MITS said...

BOTH EAGLE AT KENT

MITS said...

The one egg still looks pretty intact.

sunny said...

oh my - - 'lil Kent has already doubled in size!

Suzanne said...

Thanks for the idea, Jim. Haven't tried IWS for a while. 82 is feeding chicks at Two Harbors. They sure have grown! And all 3 chicks are sound asleep at WE. No parents home at WE. Man, isn't that little chick a cutie at Kent? Love seeing him. Happy Birthday (yesterday) little guy.

Suzanne said...

Today must be my lucky day, got the barn owls up too.

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning Everyone
Steven I love the New Look but it surely did scare the heck out of me when it came up - I thought I lost my contact with everyone - BUT then I woke up! It is so pleasing to the eyes Thanks again

Mema Jo said...

I didn't need to sign in.... is that a new feature - that it recognized me?

MITS said...

Didn't recognize me:(

Suzanne said...

Jo, you're special! I had to sign in, but I signed in way before new thread was up.

Mema Jo said...

I am off to check emails & the cams.
I did get the IWS site up & just was able to view ALL 3 locations. Those guys are getting bigger. Anyone get VA or NE up today?

Mits On Cam 2 - is that TAI in the water or one of the older pandas?

Mema Jo said...

Well I bet it does when you sign in for the first time... You all came over from the older one. I really don't want to be different!

MITS said...

didn't see him in the water, but that is Tai on Cam #2, he loves the water.

Mema Jo said...

Lisa/BW has a special page on site about the eaglet naming contest. They really had good suggestions this year.

Jill said...

I had problems with clicking my favorites trying to get to TH. But I put in just iws.org and got in fine.

MITS said...

No NE or VA yet:(

glo said...

Some news on Eagle Cam at WVEC


Eagle Cam

at WVEC.com

The cam is currently unavailable. Lightning struck the antenna that receives the signal from the nest during a thunder storm late last week. We are in the process of replacing it and hope to have service up soon.

Someone forgot to tell us that maintaining a webcam 90 feet up in a pine tree wouldn't be easy.

Thank you for your patience.

Suzanne said...

Oh, 3 eggs in WA osprey nest, parent is up!!!

MITS said...

Darn. Suz, I must have just missed it.

MITS said...

Feeding time at SC:).

MITS said...

Chick peeking out from eagle at KENT

Mauley said...

Love the new look. thanks for new thread Steve. Hello all: Jill, glo, suzanne, costume lady, mema, mits, Jim,robynann,and sunny. Sure hope you all have a wonderful day. it is going to be 89 here today accordisng to forecast. Suits me to a t. love donna

Suzanne said...

Falcon mom is off the 5 eggs! And Kent is stalled on a pic showing Star holding the new chick!

MITS said...

Both osprey parents out in Washinton, Suz.

Suzanne said...

Time for me to hit the road. Have to take my old kitty to the vet this afternoon. He's having a hard time going potty, and want him looked at ASAP! All have a great eagle day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Anne-Marie said...

Good Morning all, Thank you Steve for all of your hard work. Its off to the races. I will check in when I can.

MITS said...

Hope kitty is ok, Suz. Was just watching Puget Sound,could not really tell if other chick has arrived.

Robyn said...

Hope he feel better soon Suzanne.

Is anyone else concerned over the pugent sound egg? Shouldn't it have hatched already? I'm still learning them.

MITS said...

Not too concerned yet, Robyn, it depends on when it was laid, could be several days behind the 1st one hatched.

Robyn said...

Thank you Mits

Mema Jo said...

Well I think I am out of Mail Jail now. Thanks Glo for the VA update..I, like most of us here,are concerned that we will miss a fledging. Wish they would have given update on those 3 big guys in that nest-I bet that lightning bolt created some poop shoots!

MITS said...

lol......Jo.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Suz & Sharon for am pics of the visit - I need to leave for about 3 hours with my flip flops on!!!
Looks as though rain will be coming soon.

Keep your eyes on the birds in the nests!

BBL

MITS said...

Puget Sound eagle looked like it was calling for backup a few minutes ago.

MITS said...

MITS said...

MITS said...

SOME HOVERING GOING ON AT VA.

glo said...

Well because I am off to work in a little while and because I want to practice Jims instructions for the short links here: I have already posted the FeedBlitz for Tonight

It contains the hatching fo Kent baby Nuber two and some other fun links.

Link to Kent baby number 2 and Feed Blitz

MITS said...

I'm thinking there maybe another chick at puget sound, going to look at my pic now.

MITS said...

VA JUVIES HAVE GROWN SOOO MUCH IN THE LAST WEEK, THEY ARE ADORABLE!!!

MITS said...

All 3 juvies sitting quietly at VA.

normabyrd said...

GOOD AFTERNOON EAGLE BUDDIES!----I have been having computer problems-----Started answering email this a.m.---couldn't finish----I read most everything this a.m.---couldn't post---Read about KENT'S new chick---Another EAGLET! LIFE IS GOOD! Haven't gotten to see it yet---

normabyrd said...

WOW---I just read---Another EAGLET at KENT!-----WOW!---Things just keep getting better----

sunny said...

Wow! Those little grey bobbleheads at Kent sure make the others look gigantic, don't they??

normabyrd said...

MITS---You are right---Those VA EAGLETS are GROWING & GROWING---The VA FALCONS---are ADORABLE--BUT their BOX is very--very MESSY!!--ho!--ho!---EAGLETS have better manners!!!

normabyrd said...

BUTA BUTA---The "Little Princess" is sleeping atop the log structure!!---Keeps yawning---She is a BEAUTY!

normabyrd said...

CA BARN OWLS---THERE ARE STILL 4!

TX BARN OWLS---NO EGGS YET!

Anne-Marie said...

I am sitting at my desk and looking toward San Francisco. The clouds are rolling in. We pray for rain here but I really didnt want it while Paula is here. Darn, not good timing.It will be a misty visit for her.I am about an hour away. We wont get it until tomorrow. Mom at Kent is really keeping the little ones covered. Once in a while I can see a tiny head.

normabyrd said...

I THINK "The Little Prince" is asleep inside----He has grown so much---It's hard to distinguish between the PANDAS when they are sitting or sleeping---TAI has grow so much too!!!

normabyrd said...

HI HEIDIGIRL!---I keep checking on the KENT EAGLES---I haven't gotten even a glimpse----I must not be watching at the right time!--- ho!I bet PAULA is really enjoying herself----WOW---That's a dream vacation----

normabyrd said...

At KENT---just saw MOM peering at this little white fuzz ball head---just part of a head---ADORABLE!!

Anne-Marie said...

My dream is to see Williamsberg. I have been all over the world but I have still not seen DC and area. In the last couple of years I have seen the south but it took me all these years to get there. Alaska is next.

normabyrd said...

NY RED-TAIL HAWK has a beautiful nest & MOM HAWK is feeding the "little hawk"----I guess you refer to them as chicks too!!---What ever you call him/her---He/she is ADORABLE!!

normabyrd said...

HEIDIGIRL---I would LOVE to go to ALASKA---When are you going?---I can't imagine seeing all those EAGLES---ho!---Would probably think I had died & gone to 'EAGLE HEAVEN'---

Anne-Marie said...

Norma I asked every year I was married and it was always "next year" Well next year didnt come, he died. So I am going by myself. I got a sexy red dress and I am going to dance on tables..!Some girlfriends from work decided they wanted to go too so at least I will know someone. I am stoping at Sitka to the eagle reabilation center. I will take pictures. Next year I am going to east Mexico to see the ruins there. I'm not waiting any more.. The cruise ship leaves San Francisco Sept 8th and returns 18th.

MITS said...

Norma, you probably saw the day old chick, looks more white today:).

MITS said...

I'd like to go to Alaska one day.

normabyrd said...

HEIDIGIRL---This might be a good year to check out WILLAMSBURG---JAMESTOWN, which is near by---is celebrating their 400th year!---Get a NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC---this month has probably more than you might want to know---When my kids were small we always went to VA Beach each summer---We usually stopped at both places!----WILLIAMSBURG is a beautiful colonial town----Many things to see---

sunny said...

Hey Heidigirl! If you come out to DC, you can meet most of us, AND we'll take you to the nest!! Put us on your calendar soon!

sunny said...

oh - and Heidi - - congrats on the red dress!

Anne-Marie said...

Its a deal. It probably wont be too soon. I'm saving my time off for Alaska. I have to work to do the fun stuff and cant do the fun stuff because I have to work! I need to either marry a rich man or win the lotto.

Mema Jo said...

I have returned - feeling great for some reason after exercising!!
Glo Now how cool is that? Roadkill video was hilarious-almost destroyed the nest getting it! Bloomington Refuge is truly a Love Story!
MITS Great news from Loraine about the 2nd Kent! Thanks for the heads up on VA cam.
Hi Norma & Anne

Anne-Marie said...

Sunny, I'm not sure I have the guts to wear it. Its cut waaaaay down. My girlfriends laugh at me but we will see. I need a glass of wine just to try it on.

Mema Jo said...

WOW
There are some BIG BIRDS in that VA nest nowadays!

Anne-Marie said...

Hi Jo, just taking a break from the computer work. No wonder I go home with a headache. The sky is really getting dark. Sorry Paula.

normabyrd said...

HI MITS---Can you imagine seeing all those EAGLES!!!!---WE COULD GO TOGETHER---OR MAYBE WE COULD GET ALL THE EAGLE MOMSTERS TO GO!!!---

HEIDIGIRL!!!---You will WOW them all in that "SEXY RED" dress!!!---As I always say---HEIDIGIRL---You have got "SPUNK"---- ho!---I admire you for going!!!--ENJOY!!

MITS said...

Heidi, we want pics of you in the red dress, holding an eagle and a glass of wine:).

normabyrd said...

JO---Is HEIDIGIRL'S name ANNE?---I figured out that CAROLINA is CANDY-----

MITS said...

both eagles at PUGET

Anne-Marie said...

Norma its a date.. You could still get tickets on my ship.Or I could go again. I'm willing.
Norma, I think every wife on board would want to push me overboard. I keep thinking maybe an extra layer of lace would help. I got a lift last year which doesnt help the modesty issue.

Anne-Marie said...

Mitts your a kick! LOL

normabyrd said...

HEY SUNNY--MITS--& JO---I have heard about these "CALIFORNIA GIRLS"----They KNOW HOW TO HAVE FUN!!!---COOL---

Mema Jo said...

MAN OH MAN KENT

CHICKS IN FULL VIEW

Mema Jo said...

Adults are looking baffled ??

MITS said...

Man do I need a lift, when I sit down my chest becomes a serving plate.

MITS said...

both adults at KENT

MITS said...

ohmy, Suzanne is going to be sooooo excited tomorrow a.m.

Anne-Marie said...

I figure, I have out lived both of my parents and all four grand parents in age so if I dont do it now I may be sorry. I dont dye my hair any more but if it needs lifting or reorganizing I do it. If I want to go somewhere I'm going. I cant do it any younger. I just looked at the air lines for tickets and I get a discount now. Isnt that neat?

MITS said...

seniority has its advantages, Heidi.

normabyrd said...

HEIDIGIRL---How do you get a discount on tickets?----I have never traveled alone----I think I will-- but I don't---my thoughts are very similar to yours----BUT I DON'T HAVE "SPUNK"---ho!

MITS said...

Yes. you do, Normabyrd:):).

sunny said...

the whole family at Kent!

Anne-Marie said...

Norma, when you turn 65 you get a "seniors discount". Thanks to family and cards from my eagle buddies it wasnt even painful.

normabyrd said...

MITS---YOU better be NICE---or you may not be INVITED TO GO ALONG!!---ho!---

MITS said...

And it is a beautiful family too. I'm so happy to be able to watch the nests that have been successful this year.

normabyrd said...

THANKS SUNNY--But I would love to see the little fuzz-balls!!--Should be feeding time soon!!!

MITS said...

going to check puter for viruses and such...BBIALW.

Mema Jo said...

Lady in Red Lady in Red
One of my favorite songs & the lyrics really fit the conversation.

NORMA Heidi is AnneMarie's dog's name - Right Anne?

Mits & Anne Is it just one of you talking face lifts & not the other?

MITS Why is Suzanne going to be excited tomorrow?

Mema Jo said...

Now Anne, out of the 2 pics you once sent me, which one should I forward to Mits & Norma?

Anne-Marie said...

No face lift. I didnt need that but after 4 kids I needed the other and I lost 100lb on Atkins and needed an arm lift. When I directed the choir it looked like I was trying to fly:) :)

Mema Jo said...

You mean like eagles wings? lol

normabyrd said...

Do you all watch the HAWKCAM 2007--RED-TAIL HAWK with 2 chicks--- BORIS & NATSHA--BOTH HAWKS are in nest now----you can watch as long as you like---It has the same problem CO nest does---They all are over to one side of the nest---Ahhhh--Feeding time!!!---I'm not sure of location---It's an Academic Media---BEAUTIFUL BIRDS

Anne-Marie said...

Oh Jo I dont care. I'm 65, nothing can hurt me now.

Mema Jo said...

Good looking chicks on StVrian Cam
CO

Our nest MT

normabyrd said...

DAD just left the KENT scene---Hope he went to get food---then we can all see the "little ones"----I bet MOM is getting hungry!!!!

Mema Jo said...

Norma I like the Hawk Cam because I can see into the nest - Mom sure does have a red tail!
The NY hawk cam I can only see when they pop up to be fed. You do get good pics of the adults.

normabyrd said...

HEIDIGIRL---I bet you will have a GREAT TIME!!---I would like to see a picture of you "dancing on the table"-----That would be so COOL!!

Mema Jo said...

N O R M A

Go to the KENT cams now.....

Mema Jo said...

Is that a half shell still in the nest by the chicks?

Jill said...

Just saw the little ones at Kent. Feeding time. So cute.

Mema Jo said...

CHICK IN FULL VIEW AT

PUGET SOUND - Don't know yet if

I see an egg or another chick..

Mema Jo said...

Hi Jill

Still an egg to be hatched at Puget Sound. I guess that is the last one that we know of needing yet to be hatched. Now it will get exciting awaiting the branching & fledging.

Mema Jo said...

Want to get the am pics from Suz into the May 1 album - Sharon's are already in there. BBILW

Keep an eye on our nest for the first evening visit we could get before Heidigirl leaves work!

Anne-Marie said...

Jo I have the same question. Is that a full shell and why havent they thrown it out? They keep sitting on it.

MITS said...

Heidi, they like to eat the inside of the eggs.

MITS said...

Jo, Suzanne will be happy to see the other chick, and, I wasn't talking about my face being lifted, although my eyelids could use a lift.

MITS said...

both eagles in the nest at KENT

MITS said...

both eagles at puget, also.

MITS said...

changing of the guards at KENT

Mema Jo said...

Oldest eaglet in VA reminds me of our BigBoy from last year.
Maybe the half shell will be moved by the adults soon. Maybe she is doing that now..

Mema Jo said...

Excuse me Spirit -- That is dad in the Kent nest.

Mema Jo said...

What do you think is in the Puget Sound nest off to the right -
Road Kill??

Anne-Marie said...

Mitts, I have big eyes and have always had a problem with the lids. It was ok in the morning but by evening it was hard to see. I kept tilting my neck back to see. I had mine done about 7 years ago. I went in and went home with in a few hours. I was going out on the town in a week.

MITS said...

Its a dead fish, Jo, they had 2 over in that spot and ate one.

Mema Jo said...

Welcome back Mits.. Those VA eaglets are really large.... Sure wish NE would come up - we will really notice a difference in their size when it does.

Mema Jo said...

Checking emails......... Our nest should be getting a visitor or two.

MITS said...

Yeah, I hope it comes back online soon also.

MITS said...

still looks like 1 egg at puget sound, was this one born last Thursday???

MITS said...

what ever that was on the left side of puget nest, it was white, is now gone.

Mema Jo said...

I didn't know what that was either. I can't remember date of 1st hatch at Puget Sound. Guess I could find it on their forum........

normabyrd said...

THANKS JO---I missed KENT again---I was looking at the SC--TH--WE--Those little eaglets trying to "STAND TALL"---They are a TRIP when they wobble around!!!---ho! Yesterday--I saw their calendar & they marked Friday with "PAULA GOES HOME"----

MITS said...

Bet, they will miss her.:(

Mema Jo said...

Pugent Sound 1st egg hatch April 26

2nd egg seems to be running late--ya think.

Robyn said...

I hope everyone had a wonderful day and you are all so awesome as your posts have kept me updated and excited as I can just imagine the excitement you felt when posting about the eggs hatching, 3 with one to go.

The Va juvies are HUGE, I sure did miss them and waching the oldest hop around with her outstretched wings was a thrill. I need a life here lol.

Trying to stay ahead of classes this semester which started monday are a handful since I am into my majors.

I'll be reading as I can and defintely viewing all these cams even the barn owls where they have a very fiesty little one.

MITS said...

So pugets' chick is 6 days old, if not by tomorrow, probably doesn't look good:(. HI, ROBYNANN

Mema Jo said...

Hi Robyn = It has been a beautiful day today. We'll keep our comments coming so you will be able to read & know exactly what is going on while you get educated!

MITS said...

BLACKBIRDS IN OUR NEST, CAN THE EAGLES BE FAR BEHIND???

MITS said...

off to fix dinner...BBL.

MITS said...

feeding time at KENT

MITS said...

feeding at PUGET.

MITS said...

now feeding again at KENT

Anne-Marie said...

OK, time to go home and no kids... Oh well its been a wonderful day and I'm ready to take off the panythose and heels. Hugs to you all, I will check in later.

Mema Jo said...

I have been looking at cams, checking emails, reading blogs/forums. Found the pics of Paula's trip under the daily chat on IWS Forum - Looks as though it will be a vacation she'll always remember.The photos from the boat and on the island are spectacular. I sent her IWS comments through Momsters'.

Don't know where our eagles are --It's after 8:00.

Mema Jo said...

My hotmail server is Temp Unavailable
How About That!

Mema Jo said...

Adult red tail hawk on the nest in
Queens, NY... Can't see the chicks.

Panda Cam2 Our sleeping Prince is
growing & growing. No more sleeping as a Ledge Lodger.

Mema Jo said...

I think since our nest has darken with the Eagle Spirits that I will take the evening off. I will return in about 2 1/2 hours to say good night. (unless something important comes up like a chick at Pugent)

Mema Jo said...

Sneaked back in to say

GOOD VIEW OF UNATTENDED

KENT CHICKS

Mema Jo said...

Both Kent adult eagles in

nest with chicks - whole darn

family is there

Mema Jo said...

I hope some food gets brought into Kent - Star sent Spirit out but not sure how long he'll take to get something.

Mema Jo said...

I'm still watching Pugent Sound
Adult is partially up
See one fuzzy under her so far..

Mema Jo said...

Feeding at Kent - Good view of both chicks

Mema Jo said...

Calling it a day...

Good Night & Peace Be With You

movin said...

Good evening/Good morning, all...

I got a quick look at both chicks in the Kent nest tonight..very cute and fuzzy and ravenous for whatever parts of the fish Mama was feeding them...don't like to think about that too much.

Glo, I followed your 'clickable link' and decided to sign on for that blog too...as usual with blog stuff, I got lost over there and will have to go back and figure out what I did.

I did get the IWS site to clear up...don't know if they did anything in response to my e-mail, but I deleted my 'favorites' link and started over...works great now, except the SC cam is displaying a colorless Indian blanket tonight.

Happy May Day and Day after May Day,

Jim

MITS said...

I don't know what mom is feeding chick at puget sound, it doesn't look like a fish, but the chick is loving it:)....GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE

Mema Jo said...

11:28 Eagle Time In WV

I clearly see one egg and one chick in the Pugent Sound nest. The chick
is being fed. The view isn't close enough for me to see any details in the egg. Read their forum earlier & they are showing some concern; however, in years past the last egg hatched later then the normal time span.
Good Night

MITS said...

On second look it probably was a fish, took a pic, thought I saw a wing coming out of egg, but on closer look it was chick's wing laying over the top of egg.

Suzanne said...

Good morning, eagle world! Not too bad out, but raining at my house. Didn't get out of it until I reached Point of Rocks. Also 62° at my house, 61° here. Wierd, usually warmer here.

SEE WE HAVE ANOTHER BABY!!! How exciting! They have about 24 hours between hatchings, so they'll grow up pretty close to each other. That's wonderful! Guess we have a little girl (at least according to eagle info) with a little brother. How cool is that!! Love the pics, thanks for sending, Mits!

May try to read blogs, but it's gonna be a busy day. Oh, osprey was in nest this morning when I logged on! Guess that's a good sign, but only if they get over fighting over the nest!

My baby had to spend the night in the hospital, vet thinks it may be a urinary tract infection. She was gonna take x-rays and make sure there is no blockage, and give him meds to make him potty. Have to call them at 9 this morning! Sure missed him, hate it when they can't come home! And my other male in the household was going crazy this morning... the boys stick together, and they bonded while he was still a kitten, and Golden Boy couldn't find Pharaoh this morning. Sure hope Pharaoh can come home this afternoon! I'll be glad to give him his meds. (He hates pills though, he has asthma and has to take prednesone twice a week. Always a challenge.) But hopefully, I can bring him home this afternoon.

BW chicks are snoozing, our nest MT, 1 osprey still in nest, and too dark to see anything else at the moment. All have a great eagle day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Suzanne said...

Oh my, you're not gonna believe who is in the osprey nest... non other than our one-legged faker gal. Geesh, thought it was the mate to the male, but guess not. One eaglet chick has wing over the other chick. That is so cute. Our nest MT, can't see to much in PA, and the barn owls are hanging out in the corner and up at the cam. They have had a good breakfast this morning, at least 1 of them has. Geesh, not for the weak stomached!
BBL

movin said...

Good very early morning, Suzanne and all...

I'm up temporarily, the nest is still guarded by the spirits of eagles past.

The Lady Osprey has migrated to the middle of the nest and is standing on one leg...maybe she will lay eggs at last??

Jim

movin said...

It's still dark, but the male Osprey has just arrived on the nest too.

Jim

movin said...

I'll be back in 2-3 hrs. Have a good morning.

Jim

Suzanne said...

BW chick has wing over other chick again. That is just too cute. Well, the smallest owlet tackled and won and battle with a rodent. He ate the WHOLE thing! Had his little wings out for balance so he could get it down. At that rate, he's gonna catch up with the bigger chicks real quick! Well, somebody else arrived in osprey nest, but our gal is still standing on her one leg. BW chicks are waking up and may start wing exercises looks like. One falcon on eggs, other one on ledge outside nestbox. Our nest MT, but they could arrive at any time.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jim, sorry didn't see you come in. They are both just standing in the nest now. Now they're having a staring contest.

Suzanne said...

Both flapping wings at each other.

Suzanne said...

Ok, one of them left, and there is a female in the nest, but I don't know if the one that arrived was a mele or female. Jim said it was a male. In any case, just 1 female in nest now. Our nest still MT, kids decided to sleep in this morning. Maybe it's raining there too, like it was at my house. BW parent in nest!

Suzanne said...

BRB

Suzanne said...

The 4 owlets have another something added for breakfast. Wonder which one will get this? The little one is moving to maybe look at it, but surely he has no room! Oh, changed his mind, not interested.
Osprey has something in his talons, but can't tell if it's a fish or a branch. BW kids are awake, our nest MT, one falcon is on eggs, other one was on ledge outside nest, and of course too dark out west.

Suzanne said...

Another osprey just arrived and is mantling, the female that was there is just standing there. This may be the male with food, he doesn't share. Time will tell.

Suzanne said...

Well, whoever it was they took off. Just the 1 female in nest now.

Suzanne said...

Ok, now the ospreys are mating. I presume that's our male, but no clue which female... Man, this is getting x-rated!

Suzanne said...
