«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 466 Newer› Newest»I think it is Lib.
He is doing some nestorations; must think Belle is watching.
He is moving fluff around in the bedroom.
How many ways can you redecorate a bedroom, Lib?
He is just sitting on the edge of the nest hoping Belle will stop by.
Good luck Lib, I gotta go.
Lib is gone too.
Lib is gone, turkeys on the deer cam, eagle in the Norfolk nest, eagle calling in Maine.
Still one egg at BWE.
A great horned owl visited the Norfolk nest around 4:45 this morning. There are pictures on the website.
Thanks Deb took a look at the owl.
I have returned from appointment & maybe in time to see egg #2 in the BWE nest! I put the Pop Up cam up so I can keep an eye on the nest. I like at least 2 in the nest - I do remember Eggbert at Puget Sound...Poor little guy - I bet he is out there making all kinds of friends now that he knows they're out there & look just like he does! lol
The Lady BW just left, and there's is only one egg showing yet.
JIm
15:37:16 Clear view of unattended egg (1 egg) in BWE nest.....
Hi Jim
It's Me - The One & Only Mema.....
You paid me a compliment a few comments back!
Thank You - You made me feel special!
I hope those 2 at BW are being careful around that egg. Makes me nervous.
Both eagles at BWE, having some food.
Remember how the talons curl!!!!!
Poof for one at BWE
We really need another egg. Like Lisa says "it is for security"!!!
It's 53 degrees down in Cambridge at the nest.. No worry if they're not incubating it constantly....
OOppss sorry no link just look on Norfolk page it says "owl" and click on that Jo 4:45am
Whoops! No, Dana - I best get over there - you know how I love the owls.
While I go over there - Look at the 2 owls in the Hotel!
I really hope we get some eggs in that nest box so we can watch them hatch.
SOMEONE KEEP AN EYE ON BWE
I don't know if that is the Lord or Lady.......
ALERT EAGLE OUR NEST
EAGLE ALERT I OUR NEST!
JO GET BACK HERE
EAGLE ALERT OUR NEST
Hi Candy nice to see and get some help lol
Jo went to look at the Norfolk page. They have a picture of a owl that came there 4:45am this morning Deb said.
EAGLE BACK IN OUR NEST!
You can barely see the owl - I am assuming it is in the tree on the right hand side unless my eyes deceive me. I wish they would turn their night dimmer switch up just a little.......
Do you reckon there is an eagle in our nest?
Dana, did you get my email?
"Hi" JO, SHARON, DEB, WANDA, AND DANA. I have been sitting here trying to catch up on today's blog. I hope you all had a nice day today.
Eagle gone from our nest.
SharonYes thank you very much ( :
Jo I lost my owl hotel???????
I see that there is still only one egg at BWE. :(
I found my owl hotel
Eagle just landed in Maine nest has food!!
Eagle in the Maine nest.
JoUnless I have it wrong go back and click on "owl" at Norfolk. I thought it was to the right of nest at first to. Look on the left of the nest. There are 3 limbs going straight out "it is on the second or middle limb".
Deb you can correct me if I'm wrong please.
Both eagle at Maine now
That's right, Dana, it is visible the most in pictures 2 through 5.
I had to take a phone call
Headed back to Norfolk OWL
Could be wrong but at Maine I think first one in nest was male that brought in food and was eating. I think the 2nd eagle that flew in was the female. She is poking around for leftovers.
Deb I found at the right of screen where it says "2008 Daily Slideshows: there it list "owl" that is the only picture I see.
Where to you get pictures 2 through 5????
If you look at the bottom of the screen that pops up, there are numbers. Also I think the word next. Use those to see all the pictures.
There are 12 pictures in the owl set.
January 28: Tai Gets a Physical
Today, Tai Shan got his first-ever comprehensive physical exam. He was anesthetized early in the morning and brought to the Zoo’s hospital, where staff veterinarians, joined by a veterinary dentist and a veterinary cardiologist, performed a thorough routine health exam. Veterinarians said Tai, who now weighs 157 pounds, is in excellent health. After the exam, he was returned to his indoor enclosure to recover from the anesthesia
That's why he was not on the cam yesterday, and was so hungry during the night, little guy missed his breakfast and lunch
Boy that guy sure got some good pics of that Horned Owel. I wonder if he is going to "horn" in on the eagle nest? :)
Yea for Tai is did good happy happy he is doing so well ty Mits.
Deb I had to decrease size from 100% to 75% to see that there was other pictures. Thank you Deb.
Eagles gone at Maine
All is well in the owl hotel Jo
Have to go get dinner
I'll be back later and catch up on comments ladies and gents.
Eagle is gone from Maine.
Candy, the comedienne!
Hahaha, just read your comment, Mema Jo.
You are welcome, "one and only." You are very special to us...as are all our momsters. But our Mema Jo is unique.
By the way, you mentioned the blog was too busy for Megan to get on yesterday. How does that work? I don't know anything about the capacity of the blogs... or their servers.
Another comment seemed to suggest she is getting a cable hook-up. Is that right?
Jim
Eagle in Norfolk at his favorite spot....branch to the right...
OUr nest MT
Tesoro snoozing..
Jim, Megan had dial-up and the more comments we made, the harder it was for her to get in. She had Verizon check her lines and was told they couldn't do anything for her. Cable is working on getting her internet connection. In the meantime, her computer is on the fritz and is in for repair. That's about the extent of my knowledge.
I see you all are talking about the owl at Norfolk. I sent an email to Norfolk asking about their "Night Lite" being so dim, and this is the reply I got:
The ability of the light to illuminate the scene is limited. The light is approximately 20 feet from the nest. This is as as good gets.
That being said we have captured still photos of a Great Horned owl visiting the nest. Neither Eagle is currently roosting in the nest site, so there isn't much to see at this point.
I'll make a blog post in the next day or so.

OK, gonna go change it now! :)
Rolling at BWE
I am still trying to see how many eggs are under the BWE......
She just rolled the egg(s) But I couldn't see anything.
Just looked around to see who was here with me! Thanks for the BBL, Mits - It brought her into the nest!
Hi Deb Nilla Paula Wanda
Gigantic Poop Shoot - lol lol
I said it was an Eagle bombing!!
Paula you picked a good one!!!
always seems to work, Jo:)
I vote for just VA since there is only the one in VA that we know about & watch.
Same as CO OR ME WV..
But that is MHO
I hope you are right, Paula by giving us another day for another egg at BWE
Fog is rolling in around here
Hope Paula comes in with a Valentine
With all the Hanky Panky going on it
would be so appropriate......
Gotta roll - see ya later.
Jo, you could see the fog rolling around the nest, before it got dark
BOTH EAGLES BWE
Our nest is still empty and errie with this fog rollin in...
HEY READ THIS: The NCTC eagles first showed up during the winter of 2002-03.
They started working on a nest at that time, but only managed
to gather a few sticks. They returned to the nest in the fall of
2003, began working on the nest in earnest. They had a large
nest built by January of 2004. They laid the first egg on
Valentine's Day and two eaglets were hatched by the first day of
spring. Both eaglets survived and fledged in early June.
SO THEY LAYED THERE VERY FIRST EGG IN THE NEST ON VALENTINES DAY IN 2004.... Could we have a repete????????
DEER AT PA
Hi Nilla and Jim
It's been a great eagle watching day.
Jo did you finally get to see the "owl" pictures at Norfolk?
bbiaw
Hello
Can somebody tell me when the egg(s) are expected?
Thanks
Paula - I am glad the eagle is not getting blown away.......
However; he must be getting
Blinded By The Light
I like your eagle even though you say you are going to change it - But the very first time I posted under it - it blew me away!
First Year 2004 - First Egg Feb 14 - 2 Eaglets successfully hatched and fledged.
Second Year 2005 - First Egg Feb 15 - 1 Eaglet successfully hatched and fledged.
Third Year 2006 - Eggs Laid Feb 9, 11 & 15 - 3 Eaglets successfully hatched and fledged. (First season for the cam).
Fourth Year - 2 eggs were in the nest by Feb 9th. She may have been sitting on an egg as early as Feb 6th. We aren't positive because the cam was down. Third egg laid Feb 12th. No hatching this season, probably due to the late inclement weather.
dkife, here is some information that Paula put together on the eggs.
Welcome, dkife. Hope Paula's info helps answer your question. It seems to be a little earlier each year.
Sister just called me and together we have watched the eagles at Norfolk, working on their nest, flying in and out, and cam person was just trying to get a better focused picture, last years egg laid Jan 30th
Thank you. You all seem to really know your eagles. I watch this webcam at work, but can't get into the blog to ask any questions. Thanks again.
Dana I was away from the computer for an hour or so.... Jenny came with Soup from Panera's!!!
Then she was helping us set up our new cell phones. Going to cancel Verizon and just used Tracfone from Motorola Prepaid Wireless. We don't use our cell phones like most users..
Just feel very comfortable have one with me.........
SO AS FAR AS THE OWL GOES... I rechecked the VA owl photo... I see that owl!! Yep, he is on the left side - He looks smaller then what I was expecting.When I clicked somewhere on the screen It became much lighter & I could see real well.
Wanda Email them back & state that when those eaglets hatch we better have that light turned up a little so we can see them through out the night! We won't accept the fact that someone thinks it is as good as it gets.... Not when they can accomplish that awesome ZOOM!!!
my bad, last years norfolk eagles laid their 1st egg on jan. 31st
dkife....Welcome. Where are you? Please join our chats when you can.
Hello all. I'm new to this. Actually, I'm a good friend of Sandy's and she showed me this today and thought it was pretty neat. What webpage is this Norfolk nest on?
JO, I told Norfolk in my email something to that effect (about the lighting being so dim that it really did no good). I did tell Steve how much we enjoyed the beautiful cam shots throughout the daylight hours.

DANIELLE, what Sandy is that?
WELCOME!!!
Thanks costume lady!
Sandy from Shepherdstown,WV-she is in the hospital.
Ok, here you go...I think an eagle cartwheel is appropriate, since it is mating season!
You are right, Jo. You would think someone who has such an awesome cam set-up as Norfolk would have and equally awesome night vision cam. (Like us). But, then again, he said the cam is 20 ft. away. Maybe they will have a better cam next year. This nest was kinda Spur-of -the Moment and they probably didn't have enough time to set a camera any closer. JMHO
HELLO AND WELCOME, Danelle and DKIFE:)
Danelle -
We would really appreciate an update on Sandy. Can you click on my name and send me an email? Jo has been in contact with Tom, but I am sure he is busy.
Thanks!
Speaking of which...
Sandra's candle group
Light a candle for Sandra
Oh, Danelle, so glad Sandy is well enough to be interested in our eagles again!! We haven't had a real good update on her condition, other than, they are hoping to have her home by Feb. 6, her Birthday. Sooo glad you came on here.
And Welcome, Danelle and dkife - glad to see you here!
Dkife - I think you have been on this blog before!
You are going to be inundated with questions about Sandy. She is loved by all of us.
Danelle - I just sent out a momster's email about the Prayer candles we are lighting for her recovery. I see you have "No Emails" checked but I think you may have gotten it as I sent it as a Special Messaage. Check out your emails OR
use this link---
Sandra's candles
Lisa at BWE page says:
Nest Update
01/29/08:
No sign of a second egg yet.
It could come on Wednesday, but it would be considered late, and it would mean a large size difference between the two chicks.
Thanks mema jo. I am actually Sandy's therapist. I can't say too much about everything because of HIPAA. But I can tell you that she had a brief visit home today to practice getting around her house. That's where she showed me the eagle's nest, and she checked out her candles. Your cards have meant a lot to her. She is doing quite well and will be home within a week and a half. I call her my little ray of sunshine. :)
Both eagles at PH.
LISA has an updat on the BW site. If you haven't seen it, she says it is still possible for a second egg to come tomorrow, but it would be considerable larger than the first baby when they hatch. I guess, meaning that the first hatched would take feedings from the smaller, weaker sibling.
Sorry, Jo. I typed in that announcement from Lisa before I read back.
thank you, Danelle:), tell we send our love and prayers her way
I was getting confused over the fact that 2 new bloggers appeared at almost the same time this evening. That is so GREAT!
DKIFE - I know you are in the Momster's Membership so I meant my last comment for you & are you Dana? Here it is..
I just sent out a momster's email about the Prayer candles we are lighting for Sandra's recovery. I see you have "No Emails" checked but I think you may have gotten it as I sent it as a Special Messaage. Check out your emails Looks as though Paula and I put the link on here for everyone.
Eagles at PH
Thanks, Danelle. We are so looking forward to her being home.
Danelle Danelle Danelle
What can I say except you are our
ANGEL
Like Paula said - we know Tom is so busy with taking care of Sandra & for
you to appear here on our blog with such great news about our very special friend - You are our Angel!
BWE - sleeping eagle
AMEN, JO!
LADY B moved around a little, cam looks clearer
BWE cam was really out of focus for a while wasn't it. I wonder who is down there in their car by the nest?
PAULA That is a whole slide show to watch on your picture of the eagles. Awesome!

BOOYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I have had that cam up for weeks....so glad to see them
I have been watching, too, and was just thinking they weren't going to come. I about jumped out of my chair when the first one popped in!
They need to go to Home Depot for supplies, no nest work tonight. Jo must have missed them. :(
I jumped when I read your post:)!!!!
Look how dark now, it is good they came when they did.
26 still at PH.
Deb, I sent Jo the pics I took, only took 2, didn't want to take my eyes off of them
Before I turn in for the evening, where is this BWE cam?
I got a lot, I will look at them and get rid of similar ones, then send them on.

Blackwater Refuge, Cambridge, Maryland
above address all on one line, Danelle
hmmm, maybe someone better give Danelle the address, looks like all of mine did not paste
Here is the link:
BWE cam
Thank you DEB
Anyone watching the owl cam thats on Kent site? Both in there and they are kissin n cuddley in the corner so cute..

Danelle - BWE means the Blackwater eagles nest. If you see BWO that means the Blackwater Osprey nest.
You can pick either one from here.
http://www.friendsofblackwater.org/camcentral.html
Mits - your copy and paste was fine
Up at BWE
Oh boy they are sure Hankey Pankeyin in the owl hotel....
it didn't look right when I looked at it here....did you see the KENT EAGLES , PAULA?
Thanks ya'll! Wow, this is so exciting! Well, I think I am going to turn in for the night. I will definitely pass on all your thoughts and prayers to Sandy tomorrow morning. It will make her day! Will talk to you all sometime tomorrow.
Owls are leaving the nest box... I think or thats more Hankey Pankeyin going on... I left other is nesting in box it loks like.
Both owls are back and groomin in the corner once again... Oooo he is really laying it on thick...lol
No, Mits, I didn't get to see them at Kent
Jo are you losing it? LOL
roflmbo....Jo, what is the problem????
I think the blogger cop is having fun with Jo
:):) Hey, Jo, are you back yet???
I think I need a NEW MOUSE or something. I didn't know that was happening. I was even over in my emails and not on the blog.
I am half afraid to try to post this
every couple of hours you msg would come floating thru
I guess I am back, Mits.
They really had a hold on me!
That was the comment that I made when I returned from my afternoon appointment around 3:37:00 PM.
Well, glad you are back...I'm headed off to go nite-nite....GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
I am going to call it a day!
I have an early am appointment - just blood work and an annual exam.
Good Night Everyone! It's been a good eagle exciting day!
I don't trust this blog...
ROFL...I don't blame you
LADY B is awake and moving around
ok she went back to sleep
It's another cold, rainy night here Martinsburg/Shepherdstown area. Hope Lib and Belle are high and dry somewhere. Lady B. is asleep in her nest with her head tucked in. All's Well.
Giving thanks that Sandra is doing so well.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
Thanks for the link to the visit by the Kent pair (can't recall both of their names now! Starr & ????), Deb. Very interesting, and apparently what little we can see at present on cam #2 is not what it seems. The nest looks like a giant dirt hole with a few sticks around it, but since the male at least was standing with both feet in the area, it probably is not that bad.
I hope they decide to use this nest this year again, and I sure hope the humans get the cameras and computers back in shape pretty soon.
Jim [:~D]
There are a bunch of Giraffes near Pete's Pond. They're off in the distance and the lens isn't picking them out clearly. I couldn't tell what they were at first, and they look albino at that distance, but then my eye picked up on a pair of them fighting, or practicing, with their necks and horns...you might have seen some of the vicious blows they can deliver.
Then the shapes of the others began to appear clearer.
The herd is slowly moving off to the right toward the horizon...must be at least 2 miles away.
Jim
Last post on BWE was Lisa saying that there's no 2nd egg yet. It could be possible it will come tonight or tomorrow, but she seems to think the gap in size and age might be [too] great. So, what if we skip #2 and call it #3. Everything OK?
Jim
WELL, GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE.
GOOD MORNING TO ALL YOUR BRIGHT, SHINY FACES WITH THE SMILING EYES ... [:~D]
JIM
Keep Movin' Jim
I'm right behind you!!!
Lots of goody emails came in late &
I wanted to get them out to all...
Good Night Again - for sure!
Well it is 2:31 a.m. Dogs woke me up. Looked at the computer and Liberty and Belle were in the nest. Belle just took off and Liberty is still there. How strange is that?
Now both are gone.
WOW Sharon they were both in the nest. That early am....then took off. That is strange...Glad you took the look. It is 3:37:04am and our nest is MT.
EAGLE ALERT OUR NEST
One in then the other came in
Belle is laying in the egg cup with Liberty behind her.
One gone the other stretching for a stick.
Not sure till picture clears better. Might be food in nest or may just be how picture looks. One still in nest.
