Thanks, Steve... I'll go get the others.
Jim
Morning, Steve,
I wonder if anyone has seen Liberty-Belle mating off camera...
They seem to be going ahead, but without mating, they ain't going to get anywhere.
Jim
Congrats, Jim, you are da man:).
Da Man did it again!
Thanks Steve for the new thread, BUT most of all for your report of the sighting!
Just signing in for the day - Hi Mits and I'll be going over to see who else is a'coming from the previous thread.
HoHo! I didn't need to sign in - I was already Mema Jo & ready to go!!!
feeding time at KENT
how does that happen, Jo?????
Talk to you all later,
Gotta do mundane stuff like work and turning in the rent payment, etc.
Have a great day.
Jim
P.S.
I still have to sign in too!!!
I am bummed....
Jim
Me too, Jim
Off the eggs at Puget Sound
That chick is a chick but
That egg is still an egg at PS
I don't think that egg is going to hatch:(
Looks like a crack in the egg in PS, anyone else see that or is it me eyes playing tricks.
Robyn - do you mean around the middle of the egg you saw a crack? When you read the forum - this nest usually has a late hatching but I think they are getting concerned.
Been watching that crack for the last few days, Robyn.
Thanks Mits and Jo, I have my fingers crossed, hard to read when I keep peeking at screen.
Good Morning Ladies---Does anyone know what is on the 5o'clock edge of the Puget Sound nest?
Fish left over from yesterday, Candy.
Both adults at KENT
I am going to get some Brunch & maybe even get dressed for the day. Don't have any commitments today.
Hi Wanda! Saw you over on the early thread.. Glad you came back..
Thanks for the new thread, Steve, and thanks for the heads up, Jim. You're on the ball! Mits, I was gonna post about both adults being at Kent, and the switch, but then I saw the new thread note from Jim. By the time I got here, switch was long over. BUT I GOT TO SEE BOTH BABIES!!! They're so cute, but they are also very wet, poor things. Think Star is on eggs now, and she only gave them a couple bites, then covered them up again. Wish that rain would stop! Did you notice Spirit when he left stopped by the tree and watched for a minute? He's a mother hen! Too funny.
Morning, Jo. Didn't see you earlier. Think I've spoken to everyone else. If not, HELLO, and Good Morning!
Good Morning all, Its pouring. I so wanted it to be nice for Paula. Its supose to be sunny tomorrow. Lets hope. You guys would laugh at us California sissy's. We dont have storms like you do back there. If on a rare occation it lighting and thunders everyone runs to a window so they can see it. Its laughable.Today its just raining.
Hi Suzanne! No pics so far today but at least we know they are up there.
Hi folks, has anyone heard from Sandy about Tom and Mom this week? Hi Jim, Mits, Jo, Suzanne,Robynann, Costume lady,Heidi Girl,
Good Morning, Anne. Funny about the Rain in CA. Maybe Paula is keeping ahead of it - I know the birds in WA state are getting it full force.
Nope, no pics of our kids, Jo, but nice to know they're in the area. Hi Heidigirl and Mauley. Heidigirl, the sun is out here and it's absolutely beautiful. Wish WA was getting better weather, though! Kent eagle has her wing stretched out...now we know why she was practicing, but the chicks are still under her, so hopefully they will stay nice and dry! Or get dry, they were kinda wet during breakfast.
No report from Sandra - but she was online and watching our eagles visit.
In fact she gave a heads-up one day.
You can really see the rain on the WA osprey cam! Poor osprey looks very wet! As does our Spirit. I think that's Spirit, isn't it Mits? Uh oh, did Mits alrady leave for the zoo?
Time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle day. Gonna stop by vet hosp and see my baby on the way home.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
No zoo, today...
Jo, sometimes looking for the burrowing owl is like playing, "Where's Waldo?"
The grasses are getting very high, Mits. They say if we see one outside that the other should be inside the burrow nesting... I'll believe it when I see them little buggers all march out of the burrow one day!
Mits - do they ever have Mei & Tai in the same yard?
Its a warm rain here. I hope Wash babes are warm. We have a red tailed hawk that lives on the roof of the building where I work. He has been putting his leftovers down the rain gutter. The maintenance man isnt too pleased about that. The rain isnt going down like its suppose to so he had to dismantle it. All kinds of critters came out of it. I guess he thought it was a garbage disposal.
I read that, Jo, can't wait to see the "little buggers". No Tai and Mei or separated, they are not sure when and if they will let them visit, he seems perfectly happy by himself and, as an older male now, not sure what they would do with each other. This is a learning experience, since it really has not been done here before.
I can still see the egg under PS eagle's breast......
LOL>>>>>hawks will be hawks...
feeding time at KENT
I'm enjoying this cam as much as I thought I would, maybe next year sound:).
Going to head across the road & visit with son & grandson. BBL
So today is day #40 for the 2nd egg at Puget Sound, not good:(.
Mitts, how many days usually does it take to hatch?
I see blue sky toward San Francisco... Hurray...
Incubation period is approx 35 days for bald eagle, Heidi.
Thank you.5 extra days isnt good.
no it is not:(
both eagles at Puget
Looks as though the CO cam stopped updated around 10:30 (their time) this morning.
Time for dinner planning... BBL
Watching Puget Sound again.
For sure one eaglet
Hope it's feeding time soon so I
see under
Napping in the VA nest - all in a row
Just checked in on CT osprey - Looks as though they lost their BLUE cloth from the nest.
7pm Eagleland time - No sightings of eagles in the nest - only high above on the branches as Steve reported this morning.
feeding time for the red-tailed hawk in NY
Must have just came in to nest.
The other hawk cam had the adult sitting on the edge with what appeared to be food lying there & the 2 little chicks were still napping.
On Wavelit - I opened the woodpecker link...... Big one staring at me from out of the hole. But I'm not sure it is a woodpecker...
I was watching that one too, Jo, and both hawks were there.
Woodpecker
Testing
Didn't find the page
BOTH OUR
EAGLES IN
OUR NEST
lol...it doesn't look like a woodpecker, and it always seems to be raining there.
But if you look at the pic directly below it, it does.
I think it is like the hummingbirds -
repeat video..........
EAGLE ALERT
little buggers snuck in while I was watching Woody
Belle must be losing weight, doesn't look as big
Feathering down..
standing right over the nest cup
she picked up something in her beak and left.
George was just at the KENT NEST.
Did you get a pic - Did he bring the peeps a present of welcome?
Pic is on the way, Jo.

Belle returns to Lib in nest
she is gone again, looks like she brought in some fresh pine.
You have mail Mits
Well I'm happy... Got my Eagle fix for the day. Got to go home, I'm tired...
Aren't you late leaving work, Anne.
They came for you to see! TTUL
My bad! You leaving early? ho ho
Got it Jo.....
MT NEST
Looks as though the Sycamore is getting its leaves now.
feeding time KENT
Well it was both E's there now
now just 1
Mits - Funny about George visiting the Kent nest - glad you got a pic. Why not post over in their gallery?
Back to the PS drama - Is it or isn't it going to crack open to a new chick
Hello to my Evening Eagle friends.
Haven't been "Bird Watching" very much last few days. My Mom got her test results back (No Cancer), but full of arthritis spurs. Taking her to physical therapy.
Has anyone seen the baby Bluebirds? Cuties.
BOTH BACK
Hi Wanda - I was checking Bluebird off & on today. Usually when I looked the mom was on them in the nestbox.
I am thankful about your mom's test results. Do you take her right in Martinsburg for therapy?
BEAKING
HELLO SANDRA
THANKS FOR THE HEADS-UP
THAT BOTH ARE BACK IN THE NEST
I REALLY REALLY WISH & PRAY IT
WAS EGG LAYING TIME
How beautiful is that?????
man alot of kissy-face going on...
what's with the split tail???
Lib flew off
Belle remains
Tail straightened up before take off - Got a pic of it.
Sandra Give us a report on how things are going for you before you
leave the blog tonight - please. We've all been wondering about you doing ok.
MT Nest
Hope your Mom gets relief, Wanda....Yes, Sandra everyone has been asking for you. How are things going?
Jo, I'm all logged on at Deltaview, but can't figure out how to send pic.
Trying to watch Puget Sound but the eagle's back is to the cam..... Robyn thinks
there is a hole in the tip of it But Mits thinks it has been there for a couple days. Their forum is getting concerned about its hatching.
I've never posted one there
Robyn can help Email her
Mits - Sharon has done it before.
Hello to all: I did respond to Donna today, but I didn't forward to the blog. Sorry. Tom is doing well, is now in Charles Town in rehab. They are now treating a specific bacteria so we hope that after 4 to 6 weeks of antibiotics he will be bacteria free. Then they will put in a new knee. And we will be back to where we were a year ago. Mother is recuperating and we are working on getting her to walk to her reclining chair and to the kitchen. We still have home health care and my sister is here, but she will go back to Callifornia on the 15th. We have help at night, which means that we can sleep. I shuttle back and forth to the hospital. Thank goodness for the eagles and the eagle people. They are an enormous comfort.
Sandra
Mits I will email you how...
PS eagle will not turn around.
PS I should say thank goodness also for good friends and neighbors and church members. Also, where is the info about the burrowing owls? I can't figure them out.
Sandra
Burrowing Owl

I HOPE YOU ARE RIGHT!
Eagle is nesting
Paying attention to what is down under every now & then.....
Robyn Guess we'll to keep looking because when Star Struck -Kent WA saw no egg at 10:32 I don't think she got a pic.
I'm looking and going cross-eyed
Both eagles were at the nest at PS
Hope there is another feeding before too dark to see how many are there
Keep focused, Robyn Keep focused...

Looks like one to me too.
You may want to go over to the forum .... I know others got their hopes up with her comment.

Good Night Eagle Lovers
Peace Be With You
Good Morning Suznne
It's not Friday yet
Hope your feline friend is ok
Cool Jo, you did it....GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
Oh my, those chicks at KENT are soooooo cute:).
Good evening, everybody..
Changeover in Kent, and Dad is feeding chicks...but what is he feeding them, doesn't look like fish to me.
Jim
Congratulations, Mema Jo, "you is da woman."
I noticed that a lot of blogger at the ME site are now using the clickable links ... it's the right idea at the right time.
Well, Good night/Good morning to everyone on this blog. Tomorrow is bound to be a great day.
Jim
Sandy,
Glad to hear that all is going well with your brother and mother. We'll keep the prayers coming.
Hello again Jo and all you eagle watchers out there. Congrats Jo on making a link. I double clicked on it and it worked for me.
Good morning Eagle Watchers.
Suzanne, thanks so much for sending me pics of our eagles while I was away a few days. I enjoyed them very much. That is why I am up so late or so early, whatever you want to call it. I have been trying to play catch up on all you lovely people; birds, too. I saw where Liberty and Belle were doing some kissy, kissy stuff today. It would be nice if they would get down to business. Who knows. Time will tell. Guess I'll call it a night. It is good to be back with you all again.
Congratulations, Mema Jo, that's some fine tagging. Here on SoCal we do most of our tagging at night after we've made sure no one's looking.
But once you start it's hard to stop and you can get pretty bold. In fact, you can do some italicizing as well. And, once you get that down you can add emphasis to your boldness.
I summarized the techniques at here.
I am
Tom in Cali
Good Morning, eagle world. One more workday to go! Good grief, are you still up, Candy? I'd be in bed if I could! Hi Spavel, Tom, nice to see you.
Beautiful night out, slightly cloudy, but cool beans moon through the clouds. 54° at my house, 62° here. Think it's supposed to be nice again today.
Got my Pharaoh out of the hospital yesterday afternoon, was relieve to do that. Had quite a long discussion with the vet weather to take him home or spend another night. We agreed home would be good if I could watch him. So.. I watched him. Came in the house, went immediately to potty (good thing), then came to eat some of his favorite food (another good thing). So other than the fact that he goes every 2 minutes, very little, he is improving. Sure glad of that!
OH! I have an apology to make!! Was on other PC yesterday, and came back here and said good morning to all I thought were on at the time...however, I missed a very important person... Mauley, Donna. So, Donna I did not mean to miss speaking with you yesterday, and I do apologize. So for yesterday, good morning. And for today, good morning again! Bad me!
There is an osprey in the nest, no clue as to which female, and looks like there may be another ball of sod. BW chicks are snoozing right next to each other, eagle spirits are out at our nest, which is MT. Barn owl chicks are awake and walking around the nest. Too dark to see anything else at the moment.
All have a great eagle day! Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Good morning, Suzanne, you are doing an excellent job as always.
Thanks to "Tom in Cali" Spavel for the hints on improving our blog experiences. (Later, when I'm awake, Tom...thanks. Your advice on how to do 'clickable links' has already revolutionized blogging for quite a few people.)
Well, I am awake temporarily, Susanne, for the usual motives and taking a peek to see what might be going on.
I saw in the Maine blog that takeover attempts could be due to damage from the storm...wonder if something similar might happen in WV....
Talk to you more a little later, Suzanne.
Jim
The B Water Osprey appears to have moved to the egg bowl area...hope she has a good motivation for that.
Jim
Morning, Jim! I hope she does too! A second osprey just arrived, and looking at the first one with glowing eyes, and I HOPE that's the male! We need an egg soon, I'm afraid. At least they're not mantling or flapping at each other. BW chicks are both on edge of nest. Little toots are getting big, they can hide from the cam now. Our nest MT. PA falcon on eggs, still no word on the site about a hatchling. Barn owls are just hanging around, walking around the nest. Still too dark out west to see anything.
Dang, 2nd osprey just took off.
Good morning, eagle land!! Getting ready to start my work day. I hope all is well with everybody this morning.
Remember -- do random acts of kindness. The rewards are great for the giver and the receiver.
EAGLE ALERT!!!
Morning, Sharon!
BOTH IN NEST.
Belle by tree, Lib doing the usual egg cup check.
Looks like they're just hanging around for a while. Well, no, Lib just left. Belle still there. Maybe he'll be back.
Lib has returned, both in nest.
They are so pretty!!
Lib is back to checking egg cup again. I think he still wants a family...
Well, Lib didn't find any secret egg, so he's on perch now. Belle still standing by her launching pad. Still there, just looking around.
Both still on/near their respective take off places, but looking around. 1 Osprey in nest standing over egg cup. One BW chick has his head on other chick's back. Guess he makes a good pillow. Bell and Lib still in ..oops, no Belle just took off. Was gonna say still in place, but just Lib there now.
Poof, now he's gone to join her. MT nest.
The BW eaglets are beginning to look like sleek eagles now! Sigh... our babies are growing up!
Not much size difference now between the chicks and parent when they stand side by side. Just had another osprey arrive, but hunched over, can't tell who it is. Uh oh, must be the other female, it's mantling and the one that was in the nest is just standing there watching. So maybe it's the male with his breakfast. Oh, just took off again. The one that was there sorta has wings out a little bit. Wing flap practice at the eagle nest.
Get outta the way... one flying from one side of nest to the other side.
Good Morning Suz
The Osprey Cam seems to be frozen. Maybe you are watching a different one from me (Blackwater?)
Eagle in our nest.
Belle's back!!
Both ospreys were in the nest, one just left.
Morning, CostumeLady. Nope, watching the BW osprey cam. It refreshed only every 60 seconds, not 30 like the eagle cam.
Belle's still standing in dining area looking around.
Both ospreys in nest now.
Osprey Cam OK now, I see 2.
One of the eaglets has been off cam for a while. Other one is standing on edge, looks like a little black ball with yellow feet! Both ospreys just standing, and Belle still there looking around.
Have someone coming in in a few minutes to upgrade my other computer, won't be able to post. (Or watch, darn.) BBL, Costume Lady, you have the com...
2 Osprey in Blackwater nest---1 in our nest.
Bluebirds are sound asleep at
Wolfhaven. Where is Wolfhaven?
2 birds still at Blackwater and a little action going on--don't know what. 1 bird in our nest just sitting there looking pretty.
Good Morning to all our morning Bird Watchers--I am going to get some more coffee. Later....
Good morning Suzanne, good morning all. I have just a few minutes before the children come in and I turned on the eagle cam. Surprise! Eagle in our nest! Is it Belle and she is sitting on the egg cup! Will it be another false alarm?
Back for a sec, tech is late. Thanks, CostumeLady. Belle still standing in nest, 2 osprey in nest, one grooming. One chick still AWOL in BW, other one still on side. Mom falcon on eggs, 4 owlets standing in corner. Still dark in WA, so can't see Kent or the ospreys there. All have a good day, I'm gonna lurk when I can. Upgrade should take a couple hours.
Oh, see we have more new branches in our nest. Belle took off, she was standing over them, and just now saw them.
Hi Candy! Yes, that was Belle, believe it or not standing over the egg cup! Did the kids get to see her? There are 2 ospreys in the BW nest, one grooming, so I'm guessing that's our pair.
Hey Jim, I was the first one on today, Thursday! :) Beat Ya! I couldn't sleep, soooooo was catching up on all my missed eagle news.
Well, I guess I got on just in time. MT nest. I guess it is up to you, costumelady, to keep us informed, since Suzanne computer is down and my children are about to come in. You all have a good eagle and bird watching day. Candy
1 Osprey at Blackwater-we have an empty nest with some fresh leaves in it. I think that is all we are going to get this year--Leaves
Good Morning to BeachMom--How is the weather there? Overcast here and cool.
Wake up all you morning "Bird Watchers" I feel like I am talking to myself---and that is not a good thing.
Hummers are busy at my feeder right now---so pretty. Only males---females have not arrived yet--maybe in a few days. Haven't seen my Grosbeak yet. Bluebirds are coming to the birdbath but not even considering building a nest. Towhee pays me a visit every morning and evening. Aahh, Spring is here!
1 Osprey in nest none in our nest. Bluebirds still sleeping.
1 Osprey still in nest (appears to be glued there) HawkCam shows Adult, 2 babies and a half-eaten mouse. Our nest empty and it is starting to get daylight at Puget Sound.
2 Osprey in nest now and still nobody home in Shepherdstown.
Red Tailed Hawk seems slightly agitated with people walking beneath the nest. Babies look cold. Mouse looks nasty.
Babies being fed at Kent---so cute!
Our nest still empty.
Hawk is now eating other half of mouse (i'll be glad when it is gone). Babies must be full.
New Thread---come on over.
