Thursday

New thread.

The hot weather continues, yecch.

We are anxiously awaiting the new equipment we have ordered. Should be here very soon.

I will be leaving on travel for the next week and may or may not be around a computer. I'll do what I did last time and set up a few threads for you for the week.

Finney yelling at something,,,now he's gone.

Suzanne said...

Oh, Finny just took off, guess he gave up. Maybe he's going fishing for himself!

carolinabeachmom said...

Finney gone and no Limuw/ :(

paula eagleholic said...

CT and BW now MT :(

Suzanne said...

Look quick, 3 swallow babies and it's light!!

carolinabeachmom said...

FINNEY BACK. Maybe he and parent can connect up this time.

Suzanne said...

Finny back.

paula eagleholic said...

But Finney is back!

carolinabeachmom said...

Connecticut osprey looks like a statue. It must be on a long refresh.

Suzanne said...

Those swallows are adorable, and it's so nice to be able to actually SEE them!
Bai still sleeping.
Finny waiting for pizza delivery.

carolinabeachmom said...

WOW, those Swallows are sure getting huge! Finally can see them. Wonder if they put a light in the nest or something.

normabyrd said...

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh boy, could I go for a pizza right now. Matter of fact, I love pizza soooo much, I could eat it all day.:) Maybe he would share some.

carolinabeachmom said...

Those Swallows are getting to be almost as big as the parent. Soon they'll be flapping their wings and leave. At least, we sas something grow and prosper in the nest this year.

Suzanne said...

LOL, morning, Norma! Didn't mean to make them sound like law and order, but they sure are becoming adventures every day!
I think mom swallow is out finding food, and so the light from their entrance can get into the nest.
Never mind, think she just returned. Don't know why you can see now...

Suzanne said...

Yeah, Candy, what is this group, the 3rd try in that nest? I'm glad it was a success too!
Bai just turned over in her sleep, but she didn't wash squiggles this time.

carolinabeachmom said...

WELCOME NORMA! I only have l week from this coming Monday! I am getting a little excited to get started again, but I sure will miss blogging on here with all of you during the day. There is no way I can sneak a peak during the day at school. :(

Suzanne said...

If you look at Bai, she has squiggles on her paw again. Just under her nose.

Suzanne said...

Never mind, don't think that's squiggles...

Suzanne said...

Uh oh, Finny gonna take off.. no he didn't, fooled me. Just wanted to flap wings, I guess.

carolinabeachmom said...

PAULA No osprey in Connecticut nest now. I went to check if it was refreshing, as the bird had been standing there in the same position. I clicked on live cam and the nest showed up MT.

Suzanne said...

OH, he has a fish, little faker! Big one, right under his right foot!
Those swallows sure have cute faces, don't they?

Jill said...

NORMA-Did you get the pictures?

I got a glimpse of squiggles earlier. Thanks for the pics Suzanne. I can never get them in time and she moves squiggle away from view.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Finney has a fish. Ct osprey back.

normabyrd said...

SHOW TIME for the "LITTLE PRINCE"-----He is climbing trees & hanging upside down---also some of the limbs aren't strong enough to hold him---So he is swinging with the breeze---ho!---I don't think he realizes he has gained a few lbs. since he used to climb like that---SLID DOWN OUT OF THE TREE---VERY FAST!!!----Bet he has SPLINTERS!!!-Took off running----Still my favorite!!!---TELL HIM HELLO MITS!!!

normabyrd said...

I think our storks---CHESS--MILA & GWEN have moved----haven't seen them for a couple of weeks---KEEP checking on ALBERT & EINSTEIN---think they have moved too!!----ENJOYED watching both nests!!!

MITS said...

WOW, Who needs the cams when we have all these great reporters, GOOD FRIDAY A.M. EVERYONE. Hope Tai is that active this afternoon, but I doubt it. have a good FRIDAY:).

carolinabeachmom said...

Parent back in Fin nest, but gave up on gegging any of Finney's fish. She moved to the other end of the nest. Finney doesn't seem to be eating either. Maybe he is teasing her.

carolinabeachmom said...

Hey MITS AND JILL Just saw that you both arrived. I am doing a little cleaning at a time, while I am doing washing. So I'll be in and out.

MITS said...

Suzanne, looked all over local news for a police chase, but found nothing, just another day for th police.e

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jill. You're welcome for the pics.
Morning, Mits. Enjoy the zoo this afternoon! At least the weather is much improved since Wednesday! Oh, I was going to watch DC news tonight to see if they said anything! I'm sure they caught the guy, cause the cops that had that one car pulled over were only a couple hundred feet away, and he would have had to crest the hill and run into them! I mean, I would think they would see the headlights coming at them, in the wrong lane, and gone after him, or at least called someone else. But hey, what do I know...
See Bai is nursing again. That little bugger is growing fast!

Suzanne said...

Oh, Finny gone. Didn't see him leave, but you can see some leftovers... Ewwwwwwww

Suzanne said...

Opened Kent this morning, and havn't closed it. Nest MT, but what is that black line on cam 2? Anybody know?

MITS said...

Hmmm...don't know, Suz.

Suzanne said...

Oh well. Not really blocking the view of the MT nest, so not important, I guess.
Looks like Bai fell asleep sitting up nursing again...

Suzanne said...

DIVERS!!!

Suzanne said...

Only saw 2 and I caught them leaving.

Suzanne said...

Check it out, Ms Fin in nest cleaning up Finny's leftovers. Now there's a switch...

MITS said...

Darn had the site up, went to get laundry out of dryer and missed them.

normabyrd said...

EAGLE BUDDIES---A friend wants me to go shopping with her!!!---LATER!
SAFE DRIVE HOME SUZANNE!!!---LOVE TO "G"------

MITS said...

Need to hit the showers, Suzanne, have a restful weekend.

Suzanne said...

Well, darn, get busy, come back, and everybody is off on missions!
Thanks, guys, you all have a nice weekend too. Can't wait! I'm getting my car detailed tomorrow, and can not wait! It's too dirty for me inside. He's picking it up at 8, and a little over 5 hours later I get her back, nice and cleaned inside and out. Only problem, won't have a car tomorrow, so darn, guess I can't go anyplace. Shucky darns, guess I'll just have to take a long nap!

carolinabeachmom said...

Suzanne, Just checked back in and see that everyone is flying off.

Suzanne said...

OMG, look at the swallow nest! Are all 3 babies in there? I see one head and one tail, and they're not on the same bird. Man, is it time for them to fledge already???

carolinabeachmom said...

I have my third load of wash in, have two bedrooms and 1 bath cleaned and have started on the livingroom. I always leave our back bedroom and bath until last; just in case he shows up early. :) I have my livingroom and kitchen to go and some brownies and muffins to bake yet.

Suzanne said...

Ms Fin looks beautiful sleeping with the sun shining on her! Wow.

Suzanne said...

Ms Fin looks beautiful sleeping with the sun shining on her! Wow.

carolinabeachmom said...

I missed the divers, missed Finney leaning, missed Bai and her cub. Oh well, can't see it all.

Suzanne said...

Wow, Candy, you're a busy lady this morning! Check out beautiful Ms Fin in the sun's rays!

carolinabeachmom said...

SUZANNE Maybe they are just huddled altogether in one spot/ They bear watching. Geez I think I only see one left

carolinabeachmom said...

WOW SUZANNE, look at that pic. She has a light going across her chest. The sun is probably starting to set.

Suzanne said...

Yeah, think I saw 2, but didn't see 3. Hoping you're right, they're huddled together!
Ms Fin is georgous in the sun!
Bai and squiggles are still sleeping...my last view of them till Monday! Darn, gonna miss those 2!
Time for me to hit the road. All have a great weekend! Hope we have beautiful weather, not supposed to be so humid.
Everyone stay well, and those that aren't hope you are feeling better soon!
Blog at ya Monday.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

carolinabeachmom said...

The sunrises and sets are always soooo bezutiful on that nest.

carolinabeachmom said...

SUZANNE You have a safe trip home. AND tomorrow you get a "brand spanking clean" car. It will feel like it is new. Enjoy your weekend, and I'll see you back on Monday.

Bird Girl said...

HELLO HELLO HELLO!!! Just thought I'd stop in to see how everyone is doing, and to say that I think about all of you and miss watching our eaglets! I hope we have better luck next season :-)

On the bird rescue front, we have recently acquired a short-eared owl which we will try to train to jesses and gloves for use in Education programs. He's pretty skittish still, so it will be quite some time. I'll post pictures on Nest Watchers one of these days, you know how it is!

I hope everyone is doing well, things are okay here...I'll try to stop in later on!

As always, I am...

Your Bird Girl

paula eagleholic said...

Limuw at SC has flown off the island to the island next door, Anacapa!

paula eagleholic said...

Howdy, Bird Girl. Good to see ya!

Anne-Marie said...

Hi Gang. I was off line for a while. The IT police were too close. I feel like a fugitive.Went to the grocery store on my lunch hour to get a little bird feed to keep my little ones at work happy until I can bring some from home. they sit and wait for me in the mornings.

Robyn said...

Happy Belated Birthday Maggie...

MITS said...

Thank you,Robyn...glad you are home:).

MITS said...

Delphia, I love the penquins, that one always makes me laugh no matter how many times I see it.

wvgal_dana said...

Hi everyone

Robyn you sure have your work cut out for you....good luck thinking of you.

Mits I agree I always chuckle at those penquins too.

Nilla I see what you wrote. It's ok I seem to be out by 10:30pm anymore. So glad the babies are doing well. smile

Candy your working up a storm there.

NillaWafer said...

Howdyyy Ya'll Mits i remembered when i read about the penguins and went to the Monterey Bay site and they are feeding them live right now... Baby panda sleeping with mom...I love this Bay site has such beautiful music when watching the cameras.. Oh the otters are swimming also.. Check it out ya'll..

NillaWafer said...

It is the Monterey Bay Aquarium site in California

wvgal_dana said...

I'm watching the otters swimming Nilla. I don't hear music.

NillaWafer said...

LQQK the girl setting near the front looks like our Sharon..lol Sharon did you move to Cali and get anew job??? LOL

NillaWafer said...

Dana only some of the cams have music...

NillaWafer said...

Dana under neath the cam picture click the view other cam button.. and there is alist of cams and then click the Go button.. hahaha the penguins are playing the a peice of cloth or something the girls have ..

wvgal_dana said...

She does doesn't she Nilla there with the penquins.

wvgal_dana said...

I'm in the Kelp and a shark just swam through. Oh my that fish that is blue it pretty.

NillaWafer said...

hahaha Dana you see the 2 otters playing in front of the window for the childern?

NillaWafer said...

Dana i am watching the underwater kelp cam to its beautiful and those fish just saw a smaller shark swim by

wvgal_dana said...

Kids are really smiling aren't they.

bbl

NillaWafer said...

wow a BIG fish looked like a grouper just swam passed the camera it was huge!!!!

NillaWafer said...

Now they are feeding the otters and it has sound...

NillaWafer said...

There is a wonderful short video of baby otters from age 2 weeks to 8 weeks.. they are adorable

wvgal_dana said...

back

I'm out on the Bay people in blue and red tingy's way out fast speed boat.

NillaWafer said...

I was watching that also Dana.. Are they seals or those black cormorant birds on the rocks? Look to small to be seals?

wvgal_dana said...

Diver in the Kelp Forest in the Calf. aquarium. A person is talking to her. neat

NillaWafer said...

Dana i listened to a recording of the sound the otters make and it is like achirping sound like abird... have not seen any birds yet on the bird cam

NillaWafer said...

She is feeding them i have seen the divers cleaning the big windows before also

wvgal_dana said...

Ok Nilla I'm back out on the bay. I'm not sure what's on the rocks. The red tingy or whatever it is, is way out there now but I don't think it is in real deep water.

Way out there goes another boat.

wvgal_dana said...

Well they are either cormorants or harbor seals on those rocks. I'll guess cormorants.

NillaWafer said...

I think those were people in Kayaks and looks like the tide might be coming back in? Sometimes you can see people who are on the deck at the bottom of the window also..

wvgal_dana said...

See all those birds flying in front of the camera. Neat oh....

wvgal_dana said...

I wish we could move camera in and out to see what is on the rocks.

wvgal_dana said...

THAT IS A SEAL ON THE ROCK sorry I'm excited I watched it moving around.

Anne-Marie said...

Dana, its deep, take it from me. My brothers and I used to dive there before the aquarium was there. The birds are cormorants. they dont have oil glans like other water birds do and have to dry their wings by holding them out to "blow dry" in the wind and sun. My dad taught at Monterey High. The red thing looks like a raft. What do you think?

wvgal_dana said...

Your right I seen the person in the yellow kayak.

Anne-Marie said...

Did you see the kiayaking.?

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Heidi oh there goes a sail boat...Oh I'm sure it is deep. Like where the sail boat is now. I was thinking tide is out maybe now and not as deep near rocks. Wow that's neat you went swimming there.

wvgal_dana said...

Yes there goes the well now 2 yellow ones. Nilla said they were kayaks.

NillaWafer said...

Oh yeah did you see those 2 yellow kyakers go by? Hi Heidi i just love watching these site..

wvgal_dana said...

Maybe the brownish I see on the top of the water is the kelp. Because the lady on the kelp forest was saying it is brownish ontop of the water. I'm don't know. Maybe a sand bar???

Anne-Marie said...

The kep bed behind the rocks are like huge forests with kelp that look like tall trees.They are beautiful.

NillaWafer said...

Beautiful big sail boat went by awhile ago way out.. Dana the video of the otter pups is adorable.. i cant remember how i found it just searching around and clicking..lol

Anne-Marie said...

The kelp bed is dangerous. My father got man when he found out we were diving there. The seals hide from sharks in there and teens in wet suits look like seals to a shark. That was one long lecture he gave us.

NillaWafer said...

I thought thats a sand bar out there and looks like the tide is coming in as i have been watching for hours now... YELLOW Yayakers going by 3 of them

NillaWafer said...

Maybe your right Heidi and it is kelp bed because the boaters are paddling over it

Anne-Marie said...

Nilla its not a sand bar. Its much too deep there. Its a kelp forest.

wvgal_dana said...

I thought maybe that was the kelp forest the lady was talking about. Thanks Heidi. Boy I bet your Dad was mad. Even the lady diver said she leaves the sharks alone and they have an understanding to leave her alone.....

NillaWafer said...

I have the aviary bird cam up and just saw this big bird go by the camera Heidi it was brown long legs with awhite belly there it isssssssssssssssss long beak oh my right in front of cam

Anne-Marie said...

the otters will wrap the kept around their bellys to hold them so they wont float away when they sleep. Its really cute to watch. Babes will sometimes sleep on mama's tummy while she's sleeping on her back.

Anne-Marie said...

Its time for me to clean up and go home. I hope you all have a nice evening and stay cool.

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Nilla and Heidi for the nice conversation and cam watching together.

Going to the living room to the recliner.

Have a nice night. Hugs to you both.

paula eagleholic said...

Nilla - thanks for posting about the Monterey bay aquarium cams. Really neat. I couldn't view them from home last year on dialup.

I met two ladies from the aquarium who were checking on otters out in the bay when I was in CA. They were tagged and had radio transmitters, they were checking up on them. Really nice people.

paula eagleholic said...

I see either Frieda or Frodo! First time I have seen either one. They are laying later than last year. On Aug 1 last year they laid their first egg. Or maybe this is their normal timeframe. I think they were early last year.

paula eagleholic said...

F or F has not moved. Just standing there on the ledge. All you can see is the back of the bird.

paula eagleholic said...

F or F is now gone...MT ledge

NillaWafer said...

Hey Paula i love the eagle!!! Ya when Mits said she loved penguins it hit me about we watched them last year at Monterey and they feed them at 3 pm .. 6 our time... I would love to go there for avisit need to add that place to my list when i go across crountry... I have not checked in with F&F yet this year... But Dana and i agreed the lady feeding the penguins was Sharon's twin...

NillaWafer said...

I just went to the Frodo & Freida site and was reading the forum from last year and found 1 that we put on there...From Eaglet Momsters Group - Jo Lennox, Janet, Delphia
What an eventful day with 2 of the chicks hatching. Your video on the first feeding is excellent. We have a group of Eagle Watchers that have now converted to the Brisbane Frieda & Frodo watchers. We are elated that we were all here in time for the event. Member of the group have all snapped pics and I do want to forward them to you. However, I can imagine just how many you will be receiving!
Thank you for your site's coverage - it is awesome and just for the record, Frieda is the most beautiful falcon we have ever been privileged to see.

NillaWafer said...

My there are comments posted from Jim.. Megan..Dana.. Paula and more over there... Good to read old post and remember those times..

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, Nilla, I read some of those the other day...and was looking at the pics too.

MITS said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE.... That is one patriotic Eagle you have there, Paula.

paula eagleholic said...

That's his name, Mits! Patriotic Eagle Beanie!

paula eagleholic said...

New Thread is Up! Thanks, Steve!
