Thanks, Steven for the new thread, we need it. Excitement at Blackwater. Nest is empty right now.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING STEVE. Can't wait for our nest to be filled with eggs. This is exciting.

deb said...

There are eagles at Norfolk, they are behind the nest, one on each side.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

EAGLE ALERT - OUR NEST!

deb said...

Just enjoying the morning view, I guess.

deb said...

Gone.

Suzanne said...

Thanks for the new thread, Steven, and thanks for the heads up Deb and Wanda. Had to step out for a sec, so missed the 2nd visit. Maybe they'll come back again.
Our little Lady BW is taking a long break, so must not be time for the egg yet. Maybe later this morning.

deb said...

I bet they are getting breakfast right now.

Suzanne said...

Bet you're right, Deb. I've kinda been watching BWO, but they haven't been there this morning. Maybe they're eating on the branches above the nest.

Suzanne said...

2 deer in PA.

deb said...

I am going to try for a little nap. Hope nothing too exciting happens while I am gone.

Suzanne said...

Can anybody get Tesoro? I can't connect.

Suzanne said...

Have a good sleep, Deb. Enjoyed your company this morning!

Costume Lady said...

SUZ, I can't get Tesoro either.

Costume Lady said...

We looked at Norfolk last night and they may have a night light (could have been moonlight), but it is not very good. I love that site, it is so pretty

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Wanda. Not sure if it's a night light or the moon either. But it sure is a pretty sight!!

NZ is down too, and SD is on GaoGao.

Suzanne said...

Now that it's daylight, almost looks like Lady BW has a new egg cup, doesn't it? Where she was laying this morning. Awful close to the edge, but it looks like a round indentation in the nest. What do you think, Wanda? About 4 o'clockish.

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---CONGRATS! DEB---#1 PERSON TODAY & EVERY DAY!!----HELLO DEB--WANDA---SHARON & SUZANNE!!----It's a cold--windy a.m. in WV this a.m.---temp. 15° ----Do you all think this is the day!!---ho!---I join you folks who are getting excited---and seeing visions of eggs in our nest soon!!-----ENJOY THIS GLORIOUS DAY!!----

Costume Lady said...

Suz, I didn't pay much attention as to where the egg cup was, so I don't know. I just hope she doesn't catch pneumonia from laying in that cold nest most of the night. LOL

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING MISS SUNSHINE..
So much excitment on here; just don't know which nest to look at. I can only do one at a time.

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---I can't get TESORO up---but yesterday afternoon---the cam--slid down & was showing a muddy road of sorts!!---Then they finally got it fixed!!---Think they might be working on it???

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Deb, Wanda, Sharon, Suzanne, Norma and Watchers.

Thank you Steven for the new thread. Things are getting exciting at BWE nest. Hope the "live feed" is going to be ready for NCTC's nest.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DANA!----HEY!--The sun is coming up now!!---Things are looking better!!---Do you & WANDA have sun in Martinsburg?

normabyrd said...

I am going over & scan yesterday's blog!!---

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Norma, we do have a pretty, sunny, cold day.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Norma! I thought we were gonna have to bring out the bubbly this morning, but not quite yet!

Check out the donkeys, there was a bunch a while ago, now not so many.
Thanks, I closed Tesoro. Maybe if they get it fixed I'll check it out later.

Wanda, did you try to open more than one instance of IE?

Have a good nap, Dana?

Costume Lady said...

Dana, were you able to go right back to sleep earlier? I did, wonder of wonders. Usually when I wake up early AM, I cannot go back to sleep.

Costume Lady said...

Suz, I don't know how to do that. (I am ashamed to admit that)

Suzanne said...

EAGLE BWO.

Suzanne said...

Wow, Wanda, I wouldn't be able to sleep with all this excitement going on!

Just open IE and get whatever favorite you want, minimize that, then open IE again. Do you have an icon on your desk? Get the blog, minimize that, then click icon to open IE again and get whatever nest you want. They're examples, but I have to open IE for every cam I want to view.

Suzanne said...

ERAGLE BWE!@!!!!!!!!

Suzanne said...

One at BWO, one at BWE! BWE working on the nest.

Costume Lady said...

She is in her egg cup. Keep looking!

Suzanne said...

BWO eagle just took off. BWE standing in same spot as this morning.

BOTH BWE NOW!!!

Costume Lady said...

BOTH at BWE!

MITS said...

GOOD FRIDAY A.M. EVERYONE Still reading post and e-mail.BBIALW

Costume Lady said...

They were both teasing us.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Mits!!! Both mom and dad are at BWE!

Suzanne said...

They're just hanging out getting some rays!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING HELEN...More excitment today.

Suzanne said...

One left, one checking where mom was this morning.

Suzanne said...

Well, poof, there she went.

Costume Lady said...

Excitement over for now.

Suzanne said...

This time I'm going to take advantage and go down the hall. Back in a minute.

grannyblt said...

Morning all. Got online just as the BW cams went to sleep last night. Got awake at 430, but lazy me stayed in warm bed--but I thought about Lady BW.Just now they were both there for a while but gone now. I'll be checking the cams from time to time all day. The excitement is starting....
Weather for western PA sunny but in single digits.

grannyblt said...

Back again at BWE

wvgal_dana said...

Remember I told you all the time was 4:06am and Lady B. wasn't in the nest. So there was no egg then. Then I told you Lady B. arrived at 4:1045am in the nest.

What did me getting up at or just before 4:00am mean???????? Ed's granddaughter was in hospital to have baby girl yesterday. At 4:00am this morning the babies heart rate dropped too much so they did a C-section. Everything is ok....just got the call. One problem though but we all will manage with the problem.....it is a boy! She had a beautiful name we were all calling the baby in her tummy. She'll have to chose a boys name. He also was 3 weeks past due. Dr told her after C-section and getting the baby because Dr. had some kind of evidence to confirm it. Even though the pictures said a girl and they told her a girl. Ed had been teasing her that it was a boy....He would say why won't Willie (Ed's teasing name) come??

normabyrd said...

BWE EAGLE in nest!---but she is on the side of the nest!!---WOW!---Just read last nite's blog!!---I think SUZANNE---You & I must have been the only people who slept through the night----EXCITING!!!!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Grannyblt! Yup a bit cold outside this morning. I didn't have single digits, though. Glad of that!
You should have come on this morning, there were a lot of us watching Lady BW to see if we would get an egg. But not yet. Maybe later today!
Congrats on the new baby, Dana! Glad everyone is alright now.

Suzanne said...

LOL, only did that because I was totally unaware! I'm hyped now, and ready for an egg!!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' HELEN & GRANNYBLT!----& CONGRATS DANA & ED!!!-----Well kids---I think there is a whole lot of BIRTHIN' going on!!---WOW!---LIFE IS GOOD!!

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE----That's what I meant---Now that you are aware---time is near----Are you going to camp out at the office tonight!!---ho!

normabyrd said...

SUN is shining brightly on MT ME nest!

wvgal_dana said...

Suzanne I was here watching just earlier lol....Had to get some rest have a hair appt today. Knew we would be going to see the baby this afternoon because one way or another baby was arriving today. So had to get some rest.

normabyrd said...

deb said...

Morning to those who came on while I went back to bed! Still no egg, so I am glad I got some sleep.

Suzanne said...

Cool, just got in Tesoro in time to see eagle fly onto branch.

Belle sure is chowing down!

It looks like it will be an interesting weekend as far as nestcam watching goes.

Jim

Suzanne said...

Hi again, Jim. Did you get any sleep? Yup, will be an exciting cam weekend. Norfolk is up, BTW.

Costume Lady said...

What a beautiful sight at Norfolk. That is my favorite cam. Awesome.

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Grannyblt, Mits and Jim.

Thank you that just goes to show. You can't go by even several of those Sonograms. They told her for sure it is a girl but it wasn't. The girls name at the shower was even on the cake....Just healthy.( : ( : The Dad was there during and held his son. Granddaughter just talked to an yet has seen or held her son.

normabyrd said...

The "ZOOMING IN" is really adds to the NORFOLK cam!!----Just watching an EAGLE'S back----EAGLE turned & looked directly at the cam!!--"Why are you watching me!!--- ho!----NO HELEN---I don't remember NORFOLK having sound----do you?

deb said...

movin said...

JIm

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Deb, I missed them! Didn't even open the site this morning because I wanted to watch BWE! Couldn't get it open fast enough now.

Suzanne said...

EAGLE BACK, OUR NEST1

deb said...

Maybe they were snorklers, I only saw their flippers.

deb said...

Eagle at BWE is done with whatever it was eating.

MITS said...

Mei Xiang has her fruitcicle

Suzanne said...

BWE had her head up for a sec, but right back down.

Belle(?) doing nestorations.

normabyrd said...

BEAUTIFUL HUMMING BIRD is in her colorful nest---NOTE above pic.---eggs laid 1/8/08----INCUBATION PERIOD is 17--22 DAYS!!

I saw--i think 2 eggs--yesterday when she was off the nest!!---THAT WAS JUST TOO AWESOME!!--Couldn't believe I had seen them!!

Suzanne said...

Awwwwwwwwwwww! So does Tai. They are adorable. Man, how to quiet a panda in one quick second! Give 'em a fruitcycle. They sure take that seriously!

Suzanne said...

BOTH IN OUR NEST./

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

BOTH THERE NOW!

normabyrd said...

AWWWWWWWWWWW!---Did I miss them!!----I was watching the humming bird!!---Didn't stay long!

Suzanne said...

Man, they sure are working on that nest!

Mema Jo said...

Peeked in again... Norma I hope you are watching them now.. Beautiful!

Mema Jo said...

Belle & Lady Black Water are in House!

Suzanne said...

Lib left, so she's gonna keep working on the egg cup. Maybe try it out for comfort. BW is still eating whatever she brought in.

movin said...

Crocodile and Egrets and geese on one side of the pond at Pete's, and a herd of Elephants on another side.

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle in OUR NEST

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Did you all see the HP a couple of minutes ago? Jo gets the poop shoots and I get the hanky panky! :)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

By the way, my sister, Beverly, has been watching the nest this morning.

Mema Jo said...

Boy Sharon! You got that right!

deb said...

Eagle back at Norfolk.

MITS said...

SHARON IS OUR EXPERT HP SPOTTER:)

Suzanne said...

Saw that, Sharon. Real quickie...

Ok, not gonna go there...

Costume Lady said...

Looks like Lady B. has her head stuck.

normabyrd said...

TAI & MEI----With fruitcycles!!---Honestly----SO FUNNY!---Nothing in their body moves except their tongues!!-----SO INTENSE!---the LITTLE IMP!

normabyrd said...

Mean while---back in ATLANTA!!---BUTA BUTA---asleep on top of tripod---LUN LUN on floor eating bamboo!!!---Nothin' ever changes!!!

deb said...

BWE is empty again.

deb said...

Did I just see more HP at our nest??

wvgal_dana said...

Who all I haven't said "Good Morning" to yet I'm saying it now.

Mits that was funny I don't think they will be calling him "Willie". Wanda legs crossed that was cute.

The Mother called Pappy again said, "When are they going to let me see him and hold him". Poor gal..only Dad has.

Mema Jo said...

OK Is our cam frozen?

MITS said...

big black bird in Norfolk nest...

MITS said...

flew off and cam pulled back after close-up

MITS said...

JMHO...think NCTC should hire someone to man "our" nest...any takers????:)

Mema Jo said...

OK Cam ok on my 'puter!

Hi Dana! C-section has limitations BUT I would have my hands on him!
9 months + 3 wks late is long enough time to wait to hold that bundle of joy!

paula eagleholic said...

Deb - I'm not sure if that wasn't just Belle flying in.....BTW I got a good pic of that white spot on her right wing...will post in a couple of minutes...

paula eagleholic said...

Eagles in and out at PH this morning also

deb said...

Congrats, Dana, on another grandson.

I put my picture of possible HP in the album.

Mema Jo said...

Brings back memories, Paula of Frodo's white spot! lol

normabyrd said...

NORFOLK CAM----is out of this world!!---A black bird just flew into the nest---cam zoomed in & followed the new visitor all around his exploring of the nest!!
WOW---GREAT!!!

Suzanne said...

Snow is almost gone from BWE, and no leftovers from whatever she was eating.
Our Belle and Lib are still hanging out in the sun. Won't be long now before we'll have eggs all over the place! COOL!

Mema Jo said...

I love the tree the Norfolk eagles are nesting in this year. So many good limbs for little eaglets to perch on before their first flight!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

They are busier than cats covering up pee in that nest today!

paula eagleholic said...

Deb - I don't think that was HP - Think it was just Belle beaking at Lib and wing flapping

paula eagleholic said...

Look at the pics I put in the album

MITS said...

busier than a "one-armed paper hanger"

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

That too, Mits!

paula eagleholic said...

if you think right now that is Lib closest to cam, then he has the white spot!

deb said...

My picture was right before yours, Paula, so was just a fly in. Can either, you or Jo, change it for me?

paula eagleholic said...

Checking out our egg cup!

normabyrd said...

That black bird from NORFOLK just landed in the BWO box!! ho!

paula eagleholic said...

Done, Deb

Mema Jo said...

Norma That is the fastest little black bird I have ever seen!

normabyrd said...

DEB!---PLEASE CHECK LISA'S EAGLE LOG!----Picture of "GOLDEN EAGLE"---SURE LOOKS LIKE YOUR PIC TO ME!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Well - it looks to me like Belle is left at the nest....which would make it Lib with the white spots on his wings....

Thoughts, anyone??

deb said...

It does, Norma. My mystery bird shall remain a mystery.

MITS said...

WEATHER FOR SHEPERDSTOWN WVA TODAY


This Afternoon
Sunny. Highs in the mid 30s...except highs in the mid 20s at the higher elevations. West winds 10 to 15 mph.
» ZIP Code Detail
Tonight

deb said...

Sorry, Paula, I still don't know them well enough to tell them apart, except that Belle is usually closer to the cam than Lib.

normabyrd said...

I am warmer now!!---Just threw my sweats in the dryer---ho!---Just lost another feeder last night to the BEAUTIFUL HUNGRY DEER!!-----Now I understand how MEAGAN feels!!

Suzanne said...

Can see some leftovers from Lady BW from the marathon breakfast she had a while ago. It's not fish, no idea what it was.

normabyrd said...

NO EAGLE or SQUIRREL at KENT this a.m.----Still hoping!!

normabyrd said...

DON'T WORRY DEB!!----I still can't tell BELLE or LIBERTY apart unless they are side by side!!----

deb said...

kitten and crow

This is a video of a crow and kitten that are friends. It is long, 7 minutes, but cute.

normabyrd said...

The 'ATLANTA BEAUTY' is awake & yawning---Now LUN LUN is pacing & pacing!!---I hope we get to see the little one interact with LUN LUN!!

Mema Jo said...

OUT THE DOOR
BBL


I'll need to ponder on the White Spot
and look at your pics again, Paula.

Paula - Any chance of our voting on Momsters' about Belle's 1st egg laying date like we did last year?

normabyrd said...

Both LUN LUN & the LITTLE BEAUTY have left the room!!---I don't know why they bother having the cam on!!!

MITS said...

TIMES AND PLACES FOR BABY TESSA ARE ON ANTHONY'S BLOG...ONE OF THEM IS 45 MILES FROM WHERE I LIVE.

Suzanne said...

Belle's a lot bigger than Lib, Deb, and she usually stands in the center and closer to the cam. He like to stand in the BR, and on his perch on the back of the nest. Belle's takeoff spot is on the right of the nest. When you watch them for a while, she takes up more "floor" space than Lib. Longer, wider body, not so much nest showing as with him.

normabyrd said...

DEB---Thanks!!---I love videos showing the interaction between animals!!---

Suzanne said...

Heading out. All have a great weekend. Blog everything, so I will know what I missed. Blog a lot about our Lady BW's first egg. Hopefully today or tomorrow!

All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly! No snow going home, WONDERFUL! Stay warm, everyone.

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY HOME & ENJOY SPENDING TIME WITH 'G' AND HER FRIENDS!!!----

deb said...

Thanks, Suzanne. If they are together I am usually pretty sure which is which. It is when only one is there in the middle of the nest, then I have trouble. This will help.

MITS said...

DEB, Belles' beak has more of a hook on it, and her talons are nice and wide and straight

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mits, one of her services is about 45 minutes from where I live.
