SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SITE AT NORFOLK

deb said...

We have a chick in the hummingbird nest. I thought I saw one, but wanted to be sure. I checked the hummingbird blog and one has hatched.

deb said...

We have one chick!
I didn't quite get the capture I wanted here but I'm recording at home.
--Joe

MITS said...

YEA!!! FOR THE HUMMER....

normabyrd said...

THAT'S GREAT DEB!!----I checked on it this a.m.!!---Did you see it!!
WOW!!!

normabyrd said...

DEB---I just watched the CAT and the CROW!---Enjoyed !!--Should be titled: 'IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE'!

deb said...

I saw the nest empty and thought I saw something move. I checked the blog and confirmed it. After I left the notes on here, I went back and caught a feeding. I sent out that picture.

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding at Tesoro

Guess they are still tweaking Norfolk - getting black screens

normabyrd said...

HELEN---SORRY ---(I'm doing laundry)---I have always thought the NORFOLK site was the best!!---Now with this nest built in this beautiful tree!---

normabyrd said...

DEB!---Aren't you the lucky one!---I was amazed when I got to see the tiny eggs!!---

deb said...

I didn't get to see too much, it was just a little black spot that moved. The egg you see best on the cam is still there.

normabyrd said...

Hard to imagine how tiny the eggs & birds really are!----They are magnified so much!!!---I saw a hummer's nest---About the size of a quarter!!

normabyrd said...

Later!---must do some work here--You know--run sweeper, etc.

movin said...

I was just going to ask if it looked like one Hummingbird egg was broken, but I read a few comments to the effect that one has hatched.

[:~)

The Santa Cruz pair is very active on their nest lately too.

Looks like a lot of the snow at BWE is melting away....

Jim

normabyrd said...

DIVERS--

movin said...

Well, I've got to take care of business too. Talk to you later.

Jim

MITS said...

NORFOLK BACK UP

MITS said...

just saw someone walking by the Norfolk nest

deb said...

Eagle at BWE.

Costume Lady said...

BW MAMA....

Costume Lady said...

Well, hello there Deb.

Costume Lady said...

Just checking the nest before I go out for the evening and got this nice surprise.

deb said...

She must be eating again.

deb said...

I don't know how long she has been there. I just came on, too.

Mema Jo said...

Hope your Mom enjoys the crab legs as much as you will, Wanda!!

I am headed out to the Pizza Hut WOW!
Our 3yr old Great-Grandgal's favorite.....

See you all Later.....

I see Lady Black Water in the nest
May be looking for her dinner........

Costume Lady said...

Deb, she just flew in. She wasn't there the moment I clicked on that site, but came at the next refresh.

Thanks Jo, my Mom loves crab legs as much as I (almost). Enjoy your pizza and granddaughter.

Costume Lady said...

I've got to go, darn it. DEB, if she lays an egg, call me, I'll be at the Chinese reataurant. LOL
I'll check in on her when I get back.

deb said...

Thanks, Wanda. I must have gotten here at just the right time. Hope you both have good dinners.

Costume Lady said...

Oh, our nest too!!

deb said...

Both at BWE now.

Costume Lady said...

How can I leave now? Just keep on walking, Wanda.!!

deb said...

I'll keep track of them.

deb said...

Just Belle now.

deb said...

Belle is eating, BWE are chilling.

deb said...

One gone from BWE.

deb said...

Lady BW moved closer to egg cup, still standing.

deb said...

Pretty sure she is standing by the shadow on the nest,

deb said...

Both in our nest again.

deb said...

I can't get into CC2 or Tesoro. Every other nest quiet.

deb said...

Down to one in our nest, head down, don't know who it is. Maine is noisy, but mt.

MITS said...

well, gee Deb are you going to hold down the nests, I need to go out too.....TTYL

deb said...

Darn, I thought I had another pair of eyes. Have a good time. I don't have to leave for awhile yet.

deb said...

I think it is Belle still eating in our nest, broad back as Suzanne tells me.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle our nest and

Eagle BWE

deb said...

I think Lady BW is laying in the nest now, no more sunlight showing her legs.

deb said...

Hey Paula, a little action all of a sudden.

deb said...

Our nest is mt.

deb said...

Both eagles at PH. BWE still laying in nest.

deb said...

10 left PH, 26 still there.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle still at BWE looks like Dad to me

deb said...

Wanda said it was the mama, so I went with it.

paula eagleholic said...

Deb - that is the Lady at BWE??

paula eagleholic said...

Got it now...

deb said...

You mean I have been waiting for the male to lay an egg. HA-HA

Lisa said...

Hi all,

Just got home. Looks like we're still waiting.

Mom's been hanging around the nest a bit, so I guess we'll see if she spends another night.

Still feel hopeful we'll see something tonight or this weekend.

deb said...

Lisa, who is in the nest now?

Lisa said...

I'm not sure which is there now. I keep waiting for the bird to move so I can judge its size, but it's standing like a statue.

deb said...

OK, thanks.

deb said...

Both eagles in Norfolk.

deb said...

BWE eagle has been in that same spot since 4:33.

deb said...

It moved finally.

deb said...

Gone.

deb said...

Deer on PA cam, Tesoro back up and feeding. Hummer in and out feeding the new chick. Every once in awhile you can see it moving. Kent, sadly, still empty.

deb said...

I'm leaving now for awhile. BBL.

paula eagleholic said...

If you look at Norfolk now, you can get a good idea of what it looks like at night

paula eagleholic said...

Maybe they will be back at BWE later!

paula eagleholic said...

From the IWS forum -

Little Eli tried so hard, but his little lungs just couldn't take any more. He passed away a few hours ago and is now sleeping with the angels.

Prayers please for Helen B and her family. Little Eli fought like baby Tessa, long and hard.

Thank you to everyone who lit a candle for Eli and prayed for him and his family

((((hugs))))

Mema Jo said...

Thanks for the update on Eli, Paula.
Even though it is very sad to have a life come into this world and get so much love just for being....it is a blessing to go up to God when he knows it is time - even just a short time. His family will be remember in prayer along with Nancy & Anthony.

Mema Jo said...

I just returned from Pizza and Ice Cream Cake with the dearest little
curly haired 3 yr old. Life is GOOD!

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Jo, life is good and so were the crab legs.

Mema Jo said...

My Norfolk cam is still buffering...
Maybe I should use the old url...


Would someone look at Kent Cam 2
& tell me if it looks as though there
is a new type of covering over the hole George had made ????

Costume Lady said...

Poor little baby Eli; he had to have struggled to keep that fagile little body going as long as he did. He is in heaven along with Baby Tessa and the angels. Prayers for those families.

Costume Lady said...

I'm not sure, Jo. Maybe something fell into the nest.

Mema Jo said...

I'm going over to the Kent forum and the FTLOE forum to see any updates on the nest!

OUR nest and BWE nest are MT
Kent is MT too.

I can see the unhatched egg and the chick in the Hummer's nest. Momma must be out getting more food!

Costume Lady said...

Ghost Whisperer time. BBL

deb said...

Jo, I looked at the nest and compared it to the picture that Birder took.
The only thing I see is that it continues to fall apart. It is so sad.

Mema Jo said...

8:30 nest report


Our nest & BWE nest are MT

Mema Jo said...

Hi Deb - The Kent nest just looked as thought on Cam 2 that a pile of dirt or dark earth was covering the hole where George was hiding the nuts.

I need to go over to email for a few minutes....... BRB

Mema Jo said...

9:00 Nest Report

Our nest & BWE nest are MT

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

So sad to hear about baby Eli! His family will be in my prayers.

deb said...

This note was on the Maine Forum. I have been using the link they don't want us to use. I don't know how I got it, but I think it was one day when they were working on it. I remember talking about seeing the computer screen. I do know I gave it to a lot of you. OOPS. I will switch over so I can use the WMP for Tesoro and PH.


Hello eagle fans, I am with WVEC.com, the Norfolk Web site which provides the Eagle Cam streaming video in conjunction with Norfolk Botanical Garden and the Virginia DGIF.

I notice that someone has posted the direct link to our Windows Media Player stream. It's a simple matter to get this from the HTML code of the page and bypass the Web site. However, this practice does not support our efforts to continue bringing the Eagle Cam to the public, or help us to justify the expense to serve this stream out to a mass audience, and the time and effort required to make it available.

If you enjoy our Eagle Cam and would like to see it continue over the long haul, we respectfully request you view the camera through the Web site, http://www.wvec.com/cams/eagle.html.

Thanks for your continued interest in our eagles.

movin said...

So, Mema Jo, what did you learn of the Kent pair and their nest??

It looks abandoned at the moment, but is it really?

Jim

movin said...

That's you they're talking about, Deb??

Jim

movin said...

Was it on the Maine site or the Norfolk site, Deb?

Jim

deb said...

No, I don't think so, anyway. I went to the Maine Forum to see if they said anything about Kent and found this. They did have it posted in their forum, so I am not the only guilty one. I wanted to post it, though, before we get a note from them, too.

deb said...

I went to the Norfolk site to see if it is posted there and it isn't.

Mema Jo said...

WHOA! DEB! Just a few comments back I mentioned I couldn't get into the Norfolk cam using the newest link & that I best find the old one! Thanks for the old one Deb Now I won't get in trouble! Thanks for finding that article.

JIM - I know it is early for the Kent nest season BUT I haven't had any reply from Loraine as to what she thinks. Guess we'll give it another month before we give UP on it!

Mema Jo said...

DEB Will you please post the message on our Eaglet_Momsters email for all membership.
Be sure NOT to include the
period after the url or they will
get PAGE NOT FOUND Like dummy me just did......... lol


http://www.wvec.com/cams/eagle.html

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, so what is the big deal whichever way you view it?

deb said...

I'm sure that advertisers help fund the cam. If we want them to keep getting the money they need, I will use their site.

deb said...

I checked the link on the momsters page and it is the one they have here. I will send it out.

Mema Jo said...

10:00 Nest Report

Our nest & BWE nest are MT

MITS said...

HELLO, back from downtown, nice party for hubby's Washington office that he works at, 100 years, told him with his 39 years, he probably remembers alot, got to see some people haven't seen in years and it was nice, good food too, and I didn't have to cook.

MITS said...

so we can't use the Norfolk site, have to use their web-site....is there a cam cop out there?

MITS said...

Going to head off to bed....big day tomorrow, our son is going to take a plunge in the freezing waters of the Chesapeake Bay for the Maryland Special Olympics Polar Bear Plunge, in honor of our Little Maggie, and all the other specials needs children....so, GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE

deb said...

I am not sure. All I know is they were asked to stop using it on the Maine Forum. Would it be more expensive to have people use WMP, or is it the advertiser complaining?? Advertisers is my guess.

Mema Jo said...

My only concern is whether or not Pictures can be taken from the site
http://www.wvec.com/cams/eagle.html?

paula eagleholic said...

Jo I already have that link listed in our links page

Mema Jo said...

I am going to call it a night...
MT nests for tonight so far.....

Good Night Everyone
Sleep well & only catch the good dreams.........

Prayers for all being said
Tessa - Eli -
& for Sandra to come home soon..

paula eagleholic said...

The other link still works in WMP

MITS said...

Oh, so very sorry to hear about Baby Eli, he will be in my nightly prayers.....

paula eagleholic said...

You can't take pics from their site either, unless you have a special program.


Don't know of any cam cops, Mits. Have fun tomorrow, temp in the 40's. Maybe he won't get too chilly.

paula eagleholic said...

Thank you , Mits. Pretty sad on the IWS forum tonight...

paula eagleholic said...

oK, jO, MAYBE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT USING THEIR PICS ELSEWHERE? i'M NOT SURE....


Sorry for the caps, don't feel like retyping...

BWE still MT

wvgal_dana said...

Got home after 1 visit with Ed's Granddaughter. She took us 1 at a time into nursery to see baby boy. He has been on oxygen since birth.
Went to get dinner out....stopped back up at hospital because they said by 7pm he should be able to be brought into her room if everthing was ok with breathing. Called before went up at 7pm again. She said they are still decideing whether he would be coming off the oxygen and brought to her. Got there and about 8:05pm since he was off oxygen for 4 hrs. in nursery and did ok BABY Boy no name yet was brought into Mother and us. ( : ( : ( : ( :

Dr. stopped in and explained not fully past his satification so they are going to keep a close eye on his breathing. While away from nursery.

He is only 19 inches long and weights 8 lbs but he doesn't look fat. Counted all fingers and toes. Right away you could tell he has his Mothers lips and chin and Dads ears.

Since everything she had gotten at shower was pink. I stopped and got a Contragulations "It's a bouncing hopping Baby Boy" and also got a Blue boys pacificer. Made her and Dad happy. Guess you can tell I am thrilled and happy for this bundle of little boy.

I did read about Eli. Truly saddened for his parents.

Costume Lady said...

Falling asleep sitting up....
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT

Prayers for all.

paula eagleholic said...

Dana- Glad Baby no name is progessing - that is good news. Will keep him in my prayers for continued improvements.

Personally, I only use the other Norfolk link for checking to see if the cam is operational when the website is down...I have other things to view in WMP

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE.

I hope you have a great weekend and are the first to see the new eggs in the various nests, etc.

By the way, Candy, BW shuts their cameras down at 11 p.m., so it won't be changing now until the wee hours of the morning.

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

OUR nest is still

GOOD NIGHT ALL AND JIM AND DANA. TOMORROW BRINGS A NEW DAY WITH NEW HAPPENINGS. Prayers for all.

movin said...

Mema Jo and Mits and whoever is in to the Kent nest, I took a look myself at their blog to see if anyone has seen the eagles recently.

As usual I thrashed around over there and didn't find much ... don't know what I'm doing wrong ... but I did find a pic of the adult male, I think, on the nest 1/21/2008. So they could still be planning to use the nest after all. [:~)

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

BWE MT

wvgal_dana said...

Costume Lady said...

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

Good Morning everyone.Today
is saturday and i will be headed
for cayuga indiana to the wabash
river generating station to watch
bald-eagles.Duke-energy and the
indiana department of natural
resources puts on eagle watch days
this weekend and there will be a
lot of people there to see the
eagles that come to the open water
and feed and spend the winter.
The weather here is cold and
cloudy with not much wind so it
should be a good day.I will try
to get some photos of the eagles
and some of the things that will
be going on.The american eagle
foundation will also be there.
Please pass the word on that i
will let every know how things
went.

Thanks
Dave

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING DAVE...
That sounds really interesting. Hope you will share your photos with us.

Costume Lady said...

It is 6:43am here in Martinsburg/Shepherdstown, 22° going up to 39°.....snow showers tomorrow. BWE and our nest are empty.

Costume Lady said...

OK, I am turning the WATCH over to someone else. Capt. Eagle is up and it is time for coffee.
Candy and Dana were up very late and are probably sleeping, so maybe Deb will come on soon and keep watch for awhile.

Costume Lady said...

WE HAVE AN EAGLE ALERT!!!

Costume Lady said...

IT IS LIB....in the bedroom, of course. LOL

Costume Lady said...

Glad I came back. I don't think anyone else is up.

Costume Lady said...

Lib is on the edge of nest; looks like he is going to leave.

Costume Lady said...

He is gone. Well, that was short visit. Maybe he went to get Belle and breakfast.

Costume Lady said...

BWE is MT and it looks like most of the snow has melted from the nest.

Costume Lady said...

Both eagles at NORFOLK, one doing nestorations and one perched in a branch keeping watch. What a beautiful site they have.

Costume Lady said...

Female put one branch in the nest and stood back and looked at her handiwork and then they both left.

Costume Lady said...

Female back at Norfolk.

Costume Lady said...

http://www.wvec.com/cams/eagle.html
NORFOLK SITE

Costume Lady said...

NORFOLK nest is the one where the eagles picked bark off the tree and put it into the nest. You can see where the trunk is bare on the right hand side of the nest.

Costume Lady said...

Female at Norfolk is tearing bark off the tree as we speak; I'm not sure what she is doing with it. She may be eating it, for all I know, maybe to get roughage in her diet.

Costume Lady said...

TESORO is quiet, parent sitting on chicks, just looking maternal.
I can't get CCI or II up.

Costume Lady said...

Maine is very pretty and serene today...no wind or snow, no eagles.

Costume Lady said...

Lady B. is in the house!

Costume Lady said...

LORD AND LADY B. BOTH IN NEST..

deb said...

Good Morning, Wanda, both eagles at BWE.

Costume Lady said...

Lady B. is sitting in the egg cup. Looks like she is comfy and staying there for awhile. Lord B. is on the side of nest, watching her.

deb said...
