Monday #2


Here's the latest picture.

So I walk into entry this AM and there's an eagle sitting in the nest. After mentioning last Friday that we still had a week to go for eggs, I should have realized that after seeing robins in January and moths flying in my headlights last night, that the eagles would also have some timing issues in this winter "that wasn't".

Please send me pics of the egg and I'll post them.

glo said...

Did you know? For the Love of Eagles has a thread with NCTC Nest Observations this year. This is not a chat thread. It is merely a stop by and leave a statement of what you see happening at the nest at that time. Many of us had a very difficult time to get through last year. Could we rally aorund this nest and actively observe and share as the days pass and we cheer Lib and Belle and their new clutch on to a successful 2008 season. There is nothing to join or subscribe to. You may post as guest if you don't care to be a registered member. Either would be so appreciated. Lets all keep an Eagle eye on these 2 and report what we see, please occasional, especially highlights. No pictures are necessary,it is the information we are trying to gather in one spot. Of course they do add to the fun. Check it out here.

NCTC Nest Obsevations Thread

EGG TURNING

Suzanne said...

Norma, the owls last year that had babies disappearing every day was The Birdhouse Network, I think. Run by Cornell University. Looks like there are 2 owls in the nest as we speak. Cam is in California.

MITS said...

normabyrd said...

THANKS SUZANNE!---I may still have that---will check!!!

IrisF said...

Well, had breakfast and now a new thread...with many comments already! Thanks Glo for that Url... never too many places to read about OUR EAGLES!!!

This is so EGGCITING!!! Even if we only have one this year.

Hope this cam stops acting so funny!

Hope someone empties Sandra's mail box so she can get all her Birthday cards on Wednesday!

glo said...

wvgal_dana said...

Nilla nice picture it's a new one of Jasmine cutie. Drive safely in Baltimore. Praying your sister does well in her surgery.

glo said...

You're welcome Iris I hope we end up with a nice record of Our Eagle Season with Lib and Belle and how it unfolds...all in one spot. It should be fun to follow BUT don't just read it or they may not be too much there. Get in there and post an Nest Observaiton everyone. It will be what NCTC Fans makes it.

glo said...

LOL Norma I love your idea for the eaglet name. Too cute . Jo remembers so much so well, I bet she didn't forget. OK got to go.

Suzanne said...

Hi Iris and Glo and everybody that's here now. Dana, you may be right, I'll be wondering when the 2nd egg will appear. Just hope the cam clears up and stays clear now!

Wow, too exciting. Egg turning again, our nest!! How cool is that!

Suzanne said...

BOTH EAGLES BOTH EGGS VISIBLE BWE!

Mema Jo said...

I was stuck over in my emails.. I opened Sharon's first & had to call her to thank her! I am really eggcited about our royal couple!
Of course that egg came on Fri, Feb 1st - the day the cam went down!

Suzanne said...

Both eggs still visible in BWE.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jo! Very eggciting day!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' IRIS!---I have been mailing my card to SANDY at her home address at: SANDRA OSBOURN, P.O. Box 1623, Shepherdstown, WV 25443----She is planning to be home by her birthday!!----Her husband, TOM, takes her mail to her at the hospital---should she still be there!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

With as much turning as is happening in our nest, no chance for this eaglet to get stuck on one side of the egg!

Mema Jo said...

SUZ I sent your Switch Pics through Momsters & they went beautifully to everyone! Thanks!

Suzanne said...

Darn, time for me to hit the road. All have a very eggciting egg watching day! Keep your eyes peeled for egg #2, but if I had to guess, I'd say ... don't know what I'd say. Ok, good time to leave.
All have a great eagle/panda/egg watching day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Mema Jo said...

I HOPE YOU REMEMBER!!!
Since you just wacked me with your CANE - I guess I do sorta remember your asking about Gen Chuck Yeager from WV
You know the first to hatch will probably be a girl!
lol

I would think you get 1st choice!!

MITS said...

bye, Suzanne, didn't know it was that time already

MITS said...

PAULA, you have mail:)

Danelle said...

Hi all! I just missed the egg siting. Someone asked earlier what my email address is. It is: jdsergent@peoplepc.com Please send me a picture of the egg, I'll download it tonight and bring it in to Sandy tomorrow. Also, she is definitely going home Wed. so please mail your cards to her home. Thanks! We are soooooooo excited about this egg! :)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Danelle, it is on its way!

normabyrd said...

SANDY & DANELLE plan to be here around 12:30 today----SANDY WANTS TO SAY HELLO!!

Mema Jo said...

Of course, Norma, my choice for names this season would be

WOO & HOO

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Lisa!

Suz - thanks for the BWE observation of 2 eggs. Haven't heard anyone post lately about the eggs there.

paula eagleholic said...

Helen - you have mail!

wvgal_dana said...

I don't know Jo maybe the 1st one should be called "cam" good for boy or girl. Why well the cam went down. We have all been waiting anguishly for the cam to come back up. The "cam" came up and we are now eggciting why because of the "cam" showing the pictures now.

MITS said...

WOO and HOO, I like it:):)

Mema Jo said...

Danelle Do you ever check your yahoo.com email address? That is the one you have listed on the Momsters site. You may wish to go into your profile & change to the one you just mentioned in order to receive emails.

wvgal_dana said...

Guess Paula is going to have to do a poll for the names of the chicks

paula eagleholic said...

How about a poll for the hatching dates first? Once the egg laying is complete of course.

paula eagleholic said...

Woo and Hoo sounds like owl names!

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Paula that should be fun. Watching the chicks and then naming them. Maybe their actions will name them lol

Danelle said...

Hi all. I'm sorry, but Sandy isn't going to make it on here at lunchtime. She is very exhausted, I think because of all the excitement! But, I am here if anyone wants to chat.

Danelle said...

yes, I do check my yahoo mail.

Danelle said...

hummingbirds up for viewing.

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Danelle sorry the eggciting of the 1 egg has exhausted Sandra. I think the excitement is exhausting us too. lol

Give Sandra our hugs and love.

Danelle look back to comment 12:29 that Mema Jo made to you.

Danelle said...

I try to check both emails everyday. Unfortunately, I just can't do it while at work as those sites are blocked.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

He/she keeps looking under, wonder why?

paula eagleholic said...

PH cam is back on - MT nest

wvgal_dana said...

Looks like the cam went down early am Saturday morning. I think 1st egg laid Saturday. I think we might have a 2nd egg shortly maybe..../?????????????

Chrissy Beahan said...

Lib up on the back of the nest...Belle eating

Mema Jo said...

Got your card Chrissy - Thanks!
It's true we don't know the exact date the 1st egg was laid - Cam went down early early Fri am on 2/1 & we
didn't have it returned until 2/4 am hr. I would suggest that anyone that voted for dates of 2/1 through 2/4 would be declared winners!!!Woo Hoo!

How about that for fairness?
and a mug :)

Mema Jo said...

I am certain all of you have noticed the depth of the egg cup! Lots of room for some more!

Chrissy Beahan said...

Hi Norma pet,

Steak, onions, saute potatoes, grilled tomatoes, French Beans, and a creamy pepper sauce.

Will that do Norma !!!

Chrissy Beahan said...

Hi Jo pet,

Well it isn't me,,I was way off,, good job really, I don't think the mug would travel over the pond[laugh]
I hope there are more eggs, as you say that egg cup look warm and deep, and there seems an abundance of food, enough to go round lots of babies.

speak after dinner I hope.

love and hugs
Chrissy

Mema Jo said...

Dana I remember that cause it was also the picture Lisa left up on her eagle site after the season ended.

Lisa said that an Osprey was spotted headed this way! She also said it was a bit too early!

Mema Jo said...

Steve Can you give us an educated guess as to what it was for LUNCH?
Sure doesn't look like fish, squirrel, rabbit or a bird!

Carcass of some sort.......

Mema Jo said...

I will return.........
