Wanda - eagles are one species of bird that "bonds". This strengthens the relationship between the birds.

Now, that is Belle!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And she has arrived, just as he knew she would.

carolinabeachmom said...

Just getting ready to go home and what do I see, but two beautiful eagles just waiting for ME

carolinabeachmom said...

HEY SHARON, WANDA, PAULA AND MITS. You lucky ladies to be able to watch all day. It that lib on his perch and Belle checking out the egg cup?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

They were just at it again. Did you all see that?

normabyrd said...

BEAUTIFUL EAGLES in our nest!!---Must be the ROYAL COUPLE checking in!!!!!!

deb said...

Yeah, I got home in time to see some hanky, panky!

carolinabeachmom said...

OMG MORE HANKY PANKY? I wonder if they do it for each egg she has. :)

Hey NORMA and DANA. I am still at school and don't want to go home now.

MITS said...

missed it

glo said...

Goodness Sharon you certainly aren't missing much of that Hanky Panky this year. :)

It started a while ago with a food offering on the middle of the nest and then the wait for lunch with dessert.

carolinabeachmom said...

MITS Don't feel bad, I was checking my school email and missed it too.

deb said...

I snapped a picture, did you get one, too, Sharon?

carolinabeachmom said...

Come on DEB and share!

Costume Lady said...

I liked your description better than mine, GLO. I called it BAIT, you called it a FOOD OFFERING. Sounds mor romantic. LOL

deb said...

I plan to post it.

Costume Lady said...

The wind is blowing a bit here, that is why they looked ruffled.

Costume Lady said...

I missed dessert; that happens to me often. LOL

carolinabeachmom said...

Well, I think I am going to head home. It will only take me about 15 minutes to get there. Hold them in the nest for me will you all>

Costume Lady said...

I'll never get my hair dry. I have an early morning court date and need to get the HAIR thing out of the way now.

glo said...

Lib does not have a clue how "figured out" we all have him LOL

deb said...

Picture is in the album.

glo said...

LOL Wanda yep I am a romantic

MITS said...

there she goes

carolinabeachmom said...

I finally made it home only to find that Belle has flown away from Lib. Did they have a spat, or maybe she is going to bring him some supper.

MITS said...

feeding Tesoro

carolinabeachmom said...

MITS The parent at Tesoro was deep into the nest. there for awhile. Can anyone get into CC1 today? I still can't.

carolinabeachmom said...

Boy that Liberty is sure a patient bird.

MITS said...

I have not tried to get in for awhile, Candy

MITS said...

lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely...sung by Lib

carolinabeachmom said...

Thanks for the reply MITS. I'll just have to be as patient as Liberty is. :0

carolinabeachmom said...

What was sthat song that Dean Martin used to sing...RETURN TO ME........

MITS said...

is he stuck....?

carolinabeachmom said...

MITS I wondered that myself mits, but both timers are still going. There are turkeys in Pa.

deb said...

Belle must have glued his tootsies to the nest.

MITS said...

I know Candy, just he has been in the same spot and I see his head feathers blowing in the breeze, so I know cam is working

MITS said...

could be Deb...lol

carolinabeachmom said...

DEB and MITS, Liberty just loves his new cushy "home'. :) I find it hard to believe that he is still there also.

carolinabeachmom said...

I see where someone took pics of an eagle in the West End nest. Wouldn't that be nice if he should take up residence. I hope it isn't too late.

paula eagleholic said...

Mmmmm....dessert!!

deb said...

He finally moved a little bit, so we know he isn't stuck!!

paula eagleholic said...

Glad ya'll are here to take pics!

MITS said...

oopppss, are we supposed to be taking pics?:):):)I'm just watching him.

deb said...

Sorry, I haven't been either. I am working on other things and check in every once in awhile.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL - I meant of the Hanky panky!!

paula eagleholic said...

Watch out Lib is on the move.

paula eagleholic said...

Was he standing on the remainder of the meal, perhaps? Looks like he is eating now...

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, guess Lib gets 2 desserts! :)

paula eagleholic said...

Candy what are you talking about at the West End nest????

MITS said...

there was nothing there, do you think, she dropped a tidbit off for him.

deb said...

If there was anything it was behind him, not right under him.

paula eagleholic said...

are ya'll sure that was Lib in the nest...looks like Belle now.

paula eagleholic said...

Well he does look not quite as wide as our lovely Belle...

paula eagleholic said...

He is back down in the bowl now

deb said...

Let's hope he doesn't get stuck again!

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is back!

paula eagleholic said...

He is moving a big mound of fluff!

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, is she finishing up the lunch now...

MITS said...

carolinabeachmom said...

He was sure there for a looooong time.

MITS said...

MITS said...

paula eagleholic said...

Mits - that was other parent. ONe in nest got up and moved a stick, and other parent flew off....same parent back on chick

Mema Jo said...

I have been sitting in a dental office most of the afternoon (transporting another family person) and then to dinner - I can NOT believe how entertaining our blog is for my reading pleasure by all of your comments from this afternoon! I just LOVE IT! Thank you all so much.

Mema Jo said...

One moose currently on cam-can't see if it is the cow or the bull....
Flamingo Yard must have a light - I can see 2 or 3 of them....
NZ Panda in Nap Formation & 1 in Bamboo status.....
Bai is watching ZZ climb all over the logs........

MITS said...

Jo, that is Mei sleeping and Tai eating, he takes after his Dad, loves to eat.

MITS said...

I love reading the posts, so entertaining...a good read.

Mema Jo said...

Look at ZZ
She is really high up & looking down at Bai eating......

Mema Jo said...

Well forget it - they switched to pretty Su Lin..

I got another short call from Germany
Samantha starts school tomorrow
Housing still not available since Christine didn't really want off post housing - she prefers to wait for housing on the post due to new baby in May AND Patrick will deploy to Iraq in JULY.... They knew if would happen JUST didn't know when. Thank the good Lord that it is after the birth of the baby!

Mema Jo said...

It is the youngest bull on the Moose Watch cam now.

MITS said...

what????? was hoping he would not have to go back!!!!

Mema Jo said...

Mother Hummer is still on the eggs.
Burrowing owl still guarding his home
Ms Owl still in the hotel
No one at Kent! Concerns me about Kent forum - no comments being made!
No answer from the webmasters either.
Email did not come back as undeliverable.

Mema Jo said...

His orders changed his base in Germany - that is when he thought he would be deploying again. The first base to where he was assigned would have been a permanent stay in Germany

Mema Jo said...

Ho Ho Just got email from Loraine!!

Let me read and then I'll post it!

Mema Jo said...

Momster email sent with message
from Kent..........

Mema Jo said...

I sent the email from the Momster's site but I realize that we now have some bloggers who maybe are not yet Eaglet Momsters; therefore, I need to post Loraine's message on here also!

I just received an email from Loraine at the Kent site:

Re: How Are You Guys?�
From: EagleCam Headquarters (eglldy@qwest.net)
Sent: Mon 1/14/08 6:26 PM
To: Jo Lennox (jo_lennox@hotmail.com)

Hi Jo... I'm sorry it's taken so long to respond to your email. Well, no news yet. And yes, those pesky squirrels have taken a toll on the nest over the past couple months along with some inclement weather . I thought the forum comment made by Tom Otto was funny, the squirrels are waiting for snacks to drop "into the kitchen" or something along those lines but in reality not so much humor in it because they've dug themselves right out of a home. Squirrels have been living in the "basement" for years but never thought they'd obliterate the nest like they have this time.
Yes, a maintenance climb is planned and at this point not this weekend but the next so if by chance you see a strange view in the camera you'll know why. I would like to send him up with a sack full of sticks and debris but not sure that would be very welcomed by the "homeowners"... then again, maybe we should look into that.
There have been adult birds at the nest, around the area as well as a younger one (sub adult photo's) at the edge of the nest visiting, maybe recalling its' younger days? I do think its probably one of Star and Spirit's offspring. Late last October there was a younger bird present that perched with them (on the west side of the fir you see behind the nest tree) but that evening the 3 of them left together. I haven't seen all 3 together since.

Now, about the photo's posted on the forum:
Because of the positioning of the bird in the photo's from Jan 3, I can't say for certainty that its Star or Spirit. I do have to watch them a few seconds otherwise they look like any other adult bald eagle. I did see a small portion of that visit and recorded the event so I'll check again to try to figure out which adult it is.

It sounds as if "things" are going along as they should around the country and I'm glad to hear it. Thanks for the updates and keep in touch!

Sincerely,
Loraine - Your eagle buddy over on this side of the country

MITS said...

well Jo, sorry to see he is going back to Irag, thanks for the update from Loraine

MITS said...

Internet Explorer has crashed so many times for me today, I give up....sooooGOODNIGHT EVERYONE.

Mema Jo said...

Good night Mits TTUT
Think I am going to close down also

Good Night All
Peace to you & yours
Restful sleep & peaceful dreams


Good Morning Early Birds

Costume Lady said...

There is an update on Baby Tessa. She is doing a tiny bit better. Still very serious condition. Keep her and her parents in your prayers.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT

movin said...

Thanks for the update from Loraine and the Kent nest environs, Mema Jo.

At least the eagles seem to be in the area if not on the viewable nest now, AND the cam maintenance crew is planning some repairs "up the tree" so to speak.

Maybe there will be a normal season there after all.

Mai and ZZ's cam is on (one of them), but it's absolutely dark????

Pete's Pond looks fairly peaceful this morning, but all I've seen on the cam so far is Cattle Egrets along the far bank ... mostly sleeping in the sun.

Jim

movin said...

~GOOD NIGHT~
~EVERYBODY~

Good Morning, Suzanne and the early commenters.

Looking for a great tomorrow ... (:~)}

Jim

Suzanne said...

Good morning, world. Chilly out, but no wind, so it's really not bad. It is 32° both at my house and here. Did get down to 27 on the way down, and had wind and flurries, but nothing down here. Had snow yesterday, saw it when I got closer to home. Trees were very pretty with their dusting of snow.
We have about half power here this morning. Guard said power went down last night at 10. Some things work, some don't. Main overhead lights are out, so it's kinda dark in here. Ya never know what one day to the next will bring, always an adventure!
Love the pic of Belle Steve posted. She's so pretty.
Ok, gonna open some cams. All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

movin said...

Hi, Suz.

I'm just closing down the puter machine to head to bed.

Wanted to say "hi." Have an interesting day. Love those early reports of yours.

Jim

[:+)]

Suzanne said...

Good morning, Jim. Thanks, but I hope you can get back to bed and actually get some sleep!
I could do that too, we're working in the dark here. Kinda cool. Only lights we have are in our cubes, so it kind of adds atmosphere! Good grief, what kind of atmosphere at this hour at work I have no clue, but it IS atmosphere of some sort! LOL, gotta laugh...

Suzanne said...

Oh, Tai's awake and having an early morning breakfast of bamboo. The Bonaire donkeys are getting up, but looks like it's still raining there, everything is soaked and puddles everywhere. Africam animals are laying down chilling. Only 1 owl this morning in the nestbox. There were 2 yesterday, both in there for hours! Looks like the PA cam is getting snow. Hope it's gone by the time I go home. Was snowing lightly on the way down, till about half way through MD, then it stopped. Guess it hasn't stopped yet in PA. Darn.

Suzanne said...

Well, our lights are on again. Darn. No excuise if I want to take a nap now. Oh well, can't have everything.

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning Jim and Suzanne! Suz, too bad the lights have ruined your ambience! :)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And good morning Dave.

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MORNING JIM AND SUZANNE. JIM I hope you are fast asleep by now. AND SUZANNE glad that things are getting back in order at your job place this morning.

I had a few minutes so wanted to check in on our nest before heading off to school. MT. I guess it is a little early for them yet.

I say one deer in Pa with the big bump on his right front foot. Couldn't see anything from SD. No lighting there either.

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MORNING TO YOU DAVE AND SHARON. AND here I thought that I was going to be the early bird this morning.

carolinabeachmom said...

Now all we have to do is get WANDA up and with a cup of coffee in her hands!

Suzanne said...

LOL, yeah, lots of ambience at work! Morning, Sharon.
Morning, Dave. I'll have to go check out your new photos!

Was reading an article about the baby polar bear in Nuremberg, she's opening her eyes a little. I say she, they think it may be a she, they don't know yet. She also now has her own web site, how cute is that! They have nicknamed her Flocke, which means flake, like in snow flake, cause of her white fuzzy fur. They also have 21,500 name suggestions for her. You can check out the article here:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,322490,00.html

And click to go to her website. It's in German, naturally, but you can figure it out. She's healthy, and has a good appetite. She's a cutie! Would make a nice Mrs Knut!

carolinabeachmom said...

AND where are DEB and DANA? Up and attem ladies. :)

Well, if I am going to get to school a little early to get the room set up, I had better head out.

You all have a wonderful day.
Later gators.

Suzanne said...

Good morning, Candy. Wanda is due any minute now. But Tai is up and on cam, so put him up for the kids.

Suzanne said...

Have a good one, Candy. Stop by when you get to school!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SUZ AND CANDY...
I am up but no coffee yet, Candy.

We did have a nice looooong visit yesterday.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Wanda! The gang's all here. Now all we need are Liberty and Belle to stop by and say hi.

Suzanne said...

Snow all over the nest in Maine, and eagle up and feeding in Tesoro.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

EAGLE ALERT, OUR NEST!

Costume Lady said...

BEAUTIFUL SIGHT!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Liberty is gone and Belle appears to be eating breakfast.

Costume Lady said...

Breakfast in bed...how romantic!

floralgirl said...

carolinabeachmom said...

Costume Lady said...

Belle is really enjoying her breakfast, whatever it is. You know Lib is going to come back and expect her to share DESSERT with him. LOL

Suzanne said...

See we have Belle visiting! Darn work is interferreing with my eagle viewing!

Suzanne said...

Darn, and both BW cams stopped at 6:28. Wonder if they lost power or something?
Belle sure is beautiful, isn't she?
