Hi Paula,,

Yes I am watching pet,,

Tesoro,, our nest,, and Pete's pond all at the same time.

PLEASE can someone tell me ,,did I see little heads pop up at Tesoro ???

I'm not an eagleofile, so I can't recognise each bird,, but I'm a panda person really, I can tell every different panda I watch,,,,,, but love all wildlife, I'm still learning with the eagles, and find them so beautiful.

feeding at Tesoro

Chrissy Beahan said...

Hi Normabird,

Yes been a panda watcher and interested in them all my life.

Not early here pet, its 2.15p.p.pm

I love the eagles too but I'm still a learner and cant, sorry to say tell one from the other yet,, but I will master it in time.

I'll have to now as my hungry pair want feeding.
I've made a masive pot of Lancashire Hot Pot [stew] with potaotes and loads of vegies.
and Yesterday I made a Dutch Apple Brandy Cake, ooozzing with juice,,I think I'll serve it up with copious ammounts of thick Hot creamy custard.. and that will have to do them.

Mei is sitting lokking for more treats [as usual] and Gobbo is looking for trouble as always.

Pete's pond is FULL of Elephants at the moment. all the babies look fine...and mummy is sitting on the nest at Tesoro.

So I can go and get some work done and feed the hungry cavemen.

speak soon
love and hugs
Chrissy

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

normabyrd said...

THANKS BLUEFIELD SHARON!!---Isn't that a "WOW SIGHT"----WANDA--even I can tell which is BELLE & which is LIB!---ho!----SHARON---I also know where BLUEFIELD is!!! ho!

Costume Lady said...

We were at Chincoteague once in the Motor Home and the "No Seeums" were so bad, we all had itchy, red bites on us for days. Or was that Florida?
BOBBI, are the "No Seeums" in Florida? I'm not sure now.

wvgal_dana said...

Sharon ty for alert on our nest. Good Morning ( :

Costume Lady said...

Thanks Sharon, for the heads up!
I was seeing "No Seeums". LOL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Looks like Lib wants some of the brunch too but not sure if he is getting any.

And you are welcome!

paula eagleholic said...

I am waiting for dessert!!

Costume Lady said...

This has become a familiar sight: Lib in the bedroom and a "Headless" Belle.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I guess he decided to go get some of his own.

wvgal_dana said...

WOW Look at the nice brown feathers on the eagle at Norfolk

paula eagleholic said...

Have those in Southern MD too, Wanda

paula eagleholic said...

Lib gone!

Belle still eating

Costume Lady said...

Depends on how much Belle enjoys her meal as to whether or not DESSERT will be served.

paula eagleholic said...

This is courtship Wanda!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And he is back!

paula eagleholic said...

Lib is back.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Brunch is gone, time to work on nestorations.

paula eagleholic said...

Darn Cop!

I said I think he brought back more fluff!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning and thanks for asking our pair to be in that nest when I signed on! lol

Really good to see all of you here -
where's Candy?

Looks like Lib is asking Belle if SHE wants to lay in the egg cup!

Costume Lady said...

Dana, wouldn't it be wonderful to see Lib and Belle like that?

paula eagleholic said...

C'mon guys, I am furiously refreshing!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Now, I have to say that I love all eagles, but no other pair comes close to measuring up to our pair!

paula eagleholic said...

They are looking all around

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning Jo...
Yup, that is what Lib is asking Belle. He fed her and now, as Paula said, wants dessert.

paula eagleholic said...

Pic is stuck

paula eagleholic said...

Unstuck now

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like she is down in the egg cup now

paula eagleholic said...

I think he is searching for any nestovers.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at Norfolk still just hanging out on the branch

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Jo ( :

paula eagleholic said...

Kewl - got her tail as she was taking off towards the little tree on the right from the back of the nest.


He is munching nestovers now.

paula eagleholic said...

Mema Jo said...

Hi Dana - I'll try to check out Baltimore stations & will let you all know if I see MITS ON THE BANKS OF SANDY POINT BEACH WAVING like you saw her at the Zoo the other day!

wvgal_dana said...

Eagles at Maine very vocal

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Thank YOU Jo ( :

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - I can't get Baltimore stations on Dish network, either. They have me on DC stations, I miss the Baltimore ones...

paula eagleholic said...

Gonna get some breakfast...will check in later!

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at BWE

Costume Lady said...

I just came from Helen's son's website to contribute to that wonderful cause, and read about sweet Maggie and how her Daddy is working so hard for that cause. How lucky God gave her to such a wonderful, caring family. He is really getting close to his goal!

Lisa said...

Chincoteague NWR is a beautiful place along with Assateague Island.

When we visit there, we stay at the Waterside Inn (a motel), which overlooks the Chincoteague Channel.

It's a wonderful area for anyone who enjoys nature.

normabyrd said...

Large BLACK BIRD at BWO & the BWE cam is "goofed up"!---Two EAGLES in nest----but bars are across the screen!! It looks like the 2 are in jail!!

normabyrd said...

Did any one find a news channel in Baltimore?---

Mema Jo said...

BWE cam is ok now.... Both eagles in nest.... Our nest is MT

OK! I cannot find any live coverage from the Polar Bear event down at Sandy Point.... I would think they will have 'after the fact' coverage later today on the news. I will keep checking it our. I did see a real live Polar Bear on the nature channel.

Lisa said...

That bar you sometimes see going across the Eagle Cam image is usually caused by someone or something interfering with our wireless signal.

Normally it's a car or someone stopping on the road near the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Ooops...did ya'll see a bar across it about 2:30pm last weekend....

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle gone at BWE

I went to Chincoteague about 15 years ago or so...need to get back down there!

Mema Jo said...

lol! Paula, you didn't know we were tracking you down - did you?

Mema Jo said...

Headed to get some lunch..

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Oregon nest - full of snow, and it's still snowing...

wvgal_dana said...

Both eagles at BWE

wvgal_dana said...

+

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at BWE - eating?

paula eagleholic said...

I would guess so....head still down

paula eagleholic said...

You still watching BWE Dana???

paula eagleholic said...

BW eagle in nest very much like the other night...in one position, only head moving, wings slightly apart

paula eagleholic said...

She has turned....looking into nest

paula eagleholic said...

Wings further apart....she is facing to the top of the cam now

paula eagleholic said...

Right wing further out...almost looks like laying on the nest

paula eagleholic said...

The wing, that is

paula eagleholic said...

Lisa - are you calling? Is she rocking back and forth, ever so gently?

deb said...

Hi, Paula, could today be the day?? Just got home and found the eagle at BWE.

paula eagleholic said...

both wings further out

paula eagleholic said...

Head in the nest again

paula eagleholic said...

Now she looks like she is up

paula eagleholic said...

Head in the nest bowl again

paula eagleholic said...

Now she lloks like she is laying down

paula eagleholic said...

I don't know Deb...looks pretty good to me...it not it's a pretty good dry run like the other night...

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Paula of several sites...I have been wondering the way her wings are spread showing the white in the back. For some reason it seems I remember when going to lay she does that JMO......hummmm

paula eagleholic said...

Looking over the last series of shots...looks like she was pulling grass up to her breast...tucking in...

paula eagleholic said...

If she did, it only took her 20 minutes.

paula eagleholic said...

Man, now I can't leave till I see her get up !

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at BWO

deb said...

Hi, Dana. Just got caught up on what has happened today, busy! She sure seems to be settled in that spot.

paula eagleholic said...

She is up

deb said...

Dana, I like your osprey site. Thanks for sharing it.

paula eagleholic said...

Looked like she could have been turning egg..then tucking grass back in

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Deb I think an egg is due there too. Been watching for eggs at BWE and Cape Coral Osprey. Birthing tiring me out lol

Eagle at BWO

paula eagleholic said...

back up

paula eagleholic said...

When is an egg due at the osprey nest, Dana?

wvgal_dana said...

Don't know Paula...I watched them bringing in materials. Female recently brought in that dry grassy stuff you see. I have try different places for research. Just know they will lay before BWO does Lisa told me. Since they are in Florida a warmer area.

wvgal_dana said...

Got this off the Cape Coral page

OspreyCam
The OspreyCam is focused on an artificial nesting platform erected by LCEC (our electric provider). The two adults have been using this platform for at least 11 years. The ospreys spend the majority of the year in Cape Coral.

deb said...

There is a funny looking wild animal on the deer cam. It has two legs and is wearing camaflogue clothes.

deb said...

Darn, gone. They must be working on the cams, as he was crouched down looking at it.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Dana. I posted a question on the Puleston board to see if anyone there knows the answer to when we might expect an egg there.

paula eagleholic said...

She is back up at BWE

paula eagleholic said...

She's got to have an egg! Looks like the 3rd time she's turned it

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle alert our nest, one now both!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

BOTH EAGLES BACK IN OUR NEST! dON'T SEE AN EGG WHEN BWE GOT UP.? ANYBODY?

paula eagleholic said...

The fluff in our nest looks deep. I think Lib is in the egg cup and you can't see his feet!!

deb said...

I tried taking a picture of it and blowing it up, but nothing showed up. I wish she would move all the way over.

paula eagleholic said...

Look at the size of that fish that Belle has!!

carolinabeachmom said...

HELLO ALL YOU WATCHERS OUT THERE. I just had to get on to see if there was any new commotion.

Hummer is off nest. Did they both hatch yet. I see one moving in there. Oh mom back!

deb said...

I think both hummers are hatched now. I checked the blog, but no news has been posted.

paula eagleholic said...

And Lib's head is down too - maybe a two-fer?

paula eagleholic said...

No I guess not. Lib is gone. You can clearly see that Belle has a fish!

paula eagleholic said...

Afternoon, Candy!

carolinabeachmom said...

I only see her feed one hummer just a mintue ago. I was catching up on my house work too this morning. Couldn't put it off any longer. Then my curiosity got the best of me and I had to come and take a peek.

Anyone know if Helen's "Polar Bear" was to be in the first of second shift/

paula eagleholic said...

back up at BWE

paula eagleholic said...

Nothing on the BWE page yet.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle still at BWO

Costume Lady said...

Hi CANDY, did you sleep in? LOL

deb said...

Lib is gone.

paula eagleholic said...

Dana is your osprey cam down too?

paula eagleholic said...

We don't know what time Mits' son was supposed to go in

deb said...

My osprey cam went down, too, Paula.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Deb

back up at BWE

Costume Lady said...

Is there an egg in there??

Costume Lady said...

She sure is acting peculiar.

paula eagleholic said...

We haven't been able to see one yet, Wanda. I just sent Lisa an email.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I had to run to the store but I am now back and officially on egg watch with you all!

carolinabeachmom said...

HI THERE PAULA AND YES WANDA, i DID SLEEP IN GRRRRRR! Then I had some catching up to do. Still have to finish both bathrooms.

BWE is sure moving around funny. Each time she moves her body, she keeps part of it in that one spot so you can't see what is happening. Beththere is an egg or going to be.

If Chincoteague already has an egg, it shouldn't be too much longer.

carolinabeachmom said...

Welcome back SHARON. With all our eyes peeled, we should be able to see something when it happens. :)

Costume Lady said...

Ok, we have Eagle Eye Sharon here, she'll spot and egg if there is one.

carolinabeachmom said...

WE ARE ALL COUNTING ON HER TO COME THROUGH WANDA! :)

Costume Lady said...

No Pressure Sharon.

paula eagleholic said...

Up and down....man is she quick!

paula eagleholic said...

Up and down....man is she quick!

movin said...

The BW male is "boiling water" on the Osprey nest, and the Lady is pointing everything toward the egg cup....

Probably the first egg will show soon.

[:~)

Jim

Costume Lady said...

PUSH, PUSH, PUSH!

Mema Jo said...

Well Well Well
Just popping in before getting ready to go to Mass - I had a beautiful Panda nap..Seems like when I overdo one day it is the next day that I recuperate.
BWE In the past: the egg would be laid and then seen 1st thing early morning hours.Lisa says Lady BW was teasing us the other night!
I have not seen any news coverage yet about Polar Bear plunges! I thought maybe Kevin's plunge was with the 3:00 group? I'll keep watching until I leave.

Mema Jo said...

Mits could be back home and on here telling us all about the Plunge before we see anything on the news!

Mema Jo said...

All you oldies - Remember when Star (Kent Eagle) laid one of her eggs last season??
We saw it all - I just thought about that one!!

paula eagleholic said...

I think all the pushing has already been done!!

paula eagleholic said...

Have not heard back from Lisa....maybe waiting for confirmation!

paula eagleholic said...

There it is!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

DID YOU ALL SEE THE EGG?

paula eagleholic said...

Dad has arrived to take over!!

Mom is gone!!

wvgal_dana said...

Sorry was away from the computer. YES my CC Osprey went down darn but BACK UP NOW !!!! ( :

paula eagleholic said...

Lisa just saw it also!!

carolinabeachmom said...

mISSED IT!!! :(:(:( Went to kitchen to make sandwiches for hubby and i and just got back. You all did see an honest to goodness first egg!

GREAT NEWS!!
