GOOD MORNING STEVE...
DO YOU HAVE ANY NEWS FOR US ABOUT THE CAM?? HAS ANYONE SEEN OUR EAGLES ACTIVITY?

Keep them open, Sharon. I'm sure the NCTC guys will fix it soon.

I am so excited to see what has happened since the cam went down. Steve said it was too early for eggs, but you never know! Do hope they wait a while.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I SEE AT LEAST ONE EGG!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

DID YOU ALL SEE THAT?

Suzanne said...

Morning, all. Thanks for the heads up about our cam! She/He sure has a huge bunch of grasses in that nest now! Wow, what a load.

MITS said...

no, my screen keeps going black, and it is hard to refresh, so just letting it come on naturally

glo said...

Well keep your eyes glues folks we know there is at least 1 egg now. I am off to coffee and dog treats.

Suzanne said...

Bai and Squiggles are on SD cam!

glo said...

Oh I forgot to tell you. Egg one would be a Birthday Present LOL

Costume Lady said...

I didn't see it....SHARON, you must leave your eyes to science when your time comes. LOL

deb said...

Good Morning, Vicky, Mits and Glo. Thanks, cam guys, for fixing the cam!

normabyrd said...

I DIDN'T SEE IT SHARON!---

Suzanne said...

Glo, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!! Sorry I missed you Friday, but way too much ice on the ground for me!

MITS said...

that was a weird color, sorta a mocha brown shade across the cam

Suzanne said...

Didn't see her get up, didn't see an egg. Wonder when it was laid?

Hi Mits. Did your son recuperate from the polar bear plunge?

Suzanne said...

Wow, look at those chicks walking around in Tesoro! They are huge!

Suzanne said...

LOL, yeah, makes you want a cup of coffee, huh?

MITS said...

Sorta, Suzanne, everyone is the family, has come down with a cough and cold....wonder why!...Norma, Maggie and Molly are doing just fine...I was glad to see them yesterday. Molly turned 4 months old on the 1st, and Maggie will be 18 months on the 9th...time flys

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---You must have shared your ICE with the EASTERN PANHANDLE!!-----I had lots of it too!---Really bad for our trees!!!Did get off the hill Fri. p.m.----

grannyblt said...

Morning all. I see all the extra nesting material and a very 'sitting' look on that eagle. Perhaps we do have something in that nest.

Suzanne said...

Norma, believe it or not, I did not lose power Friday! That is totally amazing, but yes, ice is very hard on trees and lines. Way too heavy!
Morning, Grannyblt! Darn cam went down again.
Thanks, Sharon!

Suzanne said...

Back!

Costume Lady said...

THANKS SHARON FOR THE PEEK!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I feel like a grandmother in waiting!

Costume Lady said...

NORMA, my daughter in Winchester lost a 30ft. pine to the ice and wind storm. Enough to make you cry.

Costume Lady said...

I wonder what made them lay an egg so early and I wonder who won the COFFEE MUG?

Suzanne said...

OH egg turning our nest??

Costume Lady said...

We don't know for sure which day the egg was layed. This is really going to mess us up knowing when the hatching date is. I guess we will give or take a few days.

MITS said...

egg turning our nest

normabyrd said...

HELEN!----DARN'---I got so EXCITED --- I had to sign in again!!----Isn't that color:--SEINNA!!----

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Sharon, Wanda, Norma, Deb, Vicky, Mits, Suzanne, Glo, Grannyblt and Watchers.

Steven thank you for the new thread. Thank you NCTC men for fixing the cam.

Now Sharon eyes caught the sight of an egg in our nest. Sharon did you get a picture?

MITS said...

Wanda, said they exact same thing, but blogger cop ate my post, any time between the 1st and 4th. Guess when it hatches, we can count back:):)

normabyrd said...

GRANNYBLT---WOW!--WOW!--You guessed it!!--She is so calm--cool & serene!!----

Good Morning Dave it will be enjoyable seeing some new pictures of yours.

MITS said...

WANDA girlfriend, did I see you cussin this a.m. when blogger cop got you....you go girl!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I sure do wish she would move out of the way for a second! She sure is doing lots of turning.

wvgal_dana said...

Hotel owl egg visible

Suzanne said...

Eagle in osprey nest eating. Lady BW still on eggs. Wish our would get up and give us another peek! Look at her tail, she sure is far down in that egg cup!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Dave! Morning, Dana! She's sure not sharing a look when she turns that egg! (I say she, no idea if this is Belle or Lib.)

Suzanne said...

Mits, sorry to hear everyone has a cough and cold. Yeah, wonder why?? But hope you all get well quickly!

normabyrd said...

WHOA!!----She certainly is ONE PROUD EAGLE!!!!----a little SMUG--maybe??--- ho! --The 'tech' folks can't bother her now???---

MITS said...

ok, which one of "our" eagles have the dark feathers crossed over the white tail,( like a V) is that Lib or Belle

wvgal_dana said...

Pulling nesting materials closer to nest.

Suzanne said...

&)(*&$#$^(&*)(*

That appears to be Belle.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

She definitely looks involved in a covert operation and not revealing anything to us!

MITS said...

tee-hee, lots of cussin this a.m.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' INDIANA DAVE!!---Sounds like you had a great time!!----A nest of EAGLES!!---Nothing can top that!!---Is the INDIANA WILDLIFE a magazine?

wvgal_dana said...

Fuzzy head possibly Liberty
Who know for sure right now I don't

Costume Lady said...

Helen, when the blogger cop gets me is just about the only time I feel like cussin'. Weeeelllll, maybe not.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, that was Lib on the egg and Belle just arrived. Good shot of the egg that time!

Suzanne said...

Guess that wasn't Belle, she just arrived. OH LOOK THERE IS THE EGG!!!

Costume Lady said...

SORRY, DANA, I MISSED YOU. I'm so excited this morning that my manners and senses went right out the window!

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---That is marvelous that you didn't lose power!!----That's something that always scares me too---HECK!---With those fuzzy little friends you have---they would keep you warm!!---ho!--

Costume Lady said...

THANK YOU LIB AND BELLE!!

Suzanne said...

Egg turning at BW!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Belle is still working on getting that nest right.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I swear, that egg looks flat on one side.

wvgal_dana said...

Liberty left we were able to see egg. Belle arrives and we can still see egg.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Probably grass over top of it though.

Suzanne said...

Wow, she sure is a lot bigger than little Lib when she sits on that egg!

normabyrd said...

Thought she looked small---ho!--But I always get them confused unless I see them together!!---TOO EXCITING!!!---Hope she has 3!!--That was our lucky number the first time!!!

MITS said...

is anyone else's screen keep blacking out?

wvgal_dana said...

I probably won't guess the 1,2 or if 3rd egg laying time right. Atleast I guessed it was Liberty on the egg ... got something right lol

glo said...

OK all is so very well. We have Mom Dad and an egg in good shape. Sigh. Happy Eagle Viewing today.

Suzanne said...

Yes, Mits, very frustrating!!

From watching this morning, Lib's tail kinda sticks up a little bit on the side of the egg cup. Her tail is flatter along her back, doesn't hit the sides of the egg cup.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

It is supposed to get to 61 here today and 72 tomorrow. What month is this?

Suzanne said...

Did Lib bring her food?

MITS said...

BOTH

Suzanne said...

Sharon, someone told me that at work this morning! Supposed to get very warm. Unreal! I kinda hope not, cause you know the cold is gonna come back with a vengence!

wvgal_dana said...

I was thinking that Suzanne

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

WAX~!

wvgal_dana said...

Ok it's time we need the "live feed and audio". So we don't have to keep guessing. Keeping fingers crossed.

normabyrd said...

I think it's EXCITING that the BELLE fooled us!!----That's the way NATURE works!!----everything in it's own place & time!!!---- That's what makes life interesting!-----WHOA---I am beginning to sound like 'GRANNY NATURE!!----ho!----

Suzanne said...

Lib just left. Maybe he went fishin'!

paula eagleholic said...

Now only one!

Polls are closed folks! Sorry no prize for the first egg since we don't know when it was laid....

Suzanne said...

Yeah, Norma, she sure had her egg early this year! Course after all that HP, probably no surprise!!!

paula eagleholic said...

I didn't think we would have an egg this early!

Suzanne said...

Egg turning again. Not giving us a peek, though.

When did the cam go down, Friday during the ice storm?

paula eagleholic said...

LOL and by the looks of the poll, most of ya'll didn't think so either!

paula eagleholic said...

Mits - I am getting alot of black pics also

MITS said...

there is the egg.

Suzanne said...

Peek a boo, can see egg!!

MITS said...

woo, white out

paula eagleholic said...

Egg turning

paula eagleholic said...

Suz - it froze about 7am I think on Friday morning

Suzanne said...

Morning, Paula! I think she's way early. Maybe that's best andd eggs or chicks will be stronger in March this way!

MITS said...

for all we know, egg could have been laid sometime during the night

MITS said...

that is a good way of looking at it, Suzanne

normabyrd said...

DOES JO know about the new member of our family???

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Paula! So anytime from 7 am Friday to the time the cam came back on this morning. That's a long stretch...egg could be days old, or hours old. Guess we'll find out when it hatches somewhere between what, 35-36 days? Good grief, talk about pins and needles! We're all gonna be nervous wrecks!

paula eagleholic said...

That's true Mits, could have been anytime between Friday and early this morning

Suzanne said...

Norma, Jo's still sleeping. Won't she be surprised!

paula eagleholic said...

Well- Jo will see when she checks her email!!

MITS said...

yes, Norma, she does know about the egg:)

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, she knows.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mema Jo needs to get up right now!

normabyrd said...

WELL!!---If OUR--EAGLE-EYED SHARON had not been with us this a.m.---We still might not know!!---ho!---THREE CHEERS FOR EAGLE-EYED SHARON!!!!----RAH!--RAH!--RAH!

Parent and eaglet standing in Tesoro.

normabyrd said...

How does she know!!---HELEN!!---Did you ring your 'CHIMES' ho!

glo said...

OK folks I was just joking about the Birthday present. I know much better than that...we do not have a clue for number one. Lets just hope for a happy healthy clutch of eggs and wonderful weather although our feathered friends have already put in a couple of icy crummy days Bless their hearts.

normabyrd said...

SUZ---Remind me---which group of owls--would be missing one member every morning!!----The owls with such beautiful faces!!---OMG---I think I am losing it!---Probably already have & just discovering it??----lulululu!

normabyrd said...

HELEN---Our weather is almost the same as SHEPHERDSTOWN!!---predicted to be in 50s today & close to 68° tomorrow!!

wvgal_dana said...

Nice warmer weather instead of snow and ice. To lay her eggs during. ( :

normabyrd said...

GLO---No problem-!---Most every thing I post is 'tongue in cheek'---That's why I am always in trouble!!---

deb said...

Norfolk is back up. I refreshed the screen and it came up. They need to adjust the cam as all you see is the top of a head.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Glo, I feel in my heart that the first egg was laid on Friday. It may not be official but I say it was your birthday present!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good shot of our little egg now!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Didn't think the comment was going to post. Slow, we are blowing it up today.

glo said...

Actually from Belles past behavior I tend to think it was Friday too. And we will never know for sure. Just hope her weekend wasn't too bad, we know it wasn't too great but Lib is definitely in there doing his part. Great Couple.

normabyrd said...

NORFOLK CAM is up----VA LADY sitting low in the SUNNY nest!!---

Anyone have Bartons Cove up?

IrisF said...

WoW slept in late this morning - Good Morning Everyone. WE HAVE AN EGG!!! Actually got a picture of it too! Thank you all for the heads up. She sure is purty sitting there so proudly.

Now I need to get a few more cams up. This was the most important one though! bbl

Suzanne said...

Oh, Norma, I remember them. They were barn owls, I think in WildWatch, but not sure. No, that's not right. I'll have to go back to my favorites and find the URL. One I was talking about in the Netherlands had a gazillion eggs, 3 had hatched, and the parents totally ignored both the eggs and the chicks. Won't go there again, lousy parents. I remember the ones you're talking about too. I don't like owls quite as much as I did. I didn't realize they were such lousy parents...at least compared to the eagles and osprey, anyway!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING IRIS, GLAD YOU COULD JOIN US!
