Eagle calling at Ph, but some other bird is in the nest.

deb said...

Dana and Mits, your cat was just in PA, by the time I saw it, it was too late to take a picture of it.

Mema Jo said...

Was it the Black one Deb?

deb said...

I think so, by the time I noticed it, I mostly saw the shape. I have been watching Kent, hoping for some eagles, but nothing so far.

Costume Lady said...

My Avatar is haunted or magic. Now you see it, now you don't.

deb said...

So far, Wanda, I haven't gotten to see it. It is just an X for me.

paula eagleholic said...

That was a northern flicker at PH. The blue ones are scrub jays. The BIG black ones are ravens.

deb said...

I wonder what is happening at PH. The last time I heard screeching like that, an eagle came to the nest and ate a bird.

paula eagleholic said...

I see it, I see it!

Sometimes Photobucket has issues...

Mema Jo said...

I can't even see the 'x' You're lucky! I just can see a empty rectangle box! lol

deb said...

Thanks, Paula, I wondered what it was.

deb said...

Now I see a ? in the box. It is haunted!!

paula eagleholic said...

I still see it :-)

Mema Jo said...

Our eagle is sleeping
The owls are about to awaken for the night....
I hope we don't get snow showers even though that's what every weather station is saying.
Suzanne didn't know what it would be like being off in the middle of a week...She just might find out!

Jill said...

I guess Wanda's Valentine was just meant for me, since I am the only one that seems to see it. LOL

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, must be a firefox thingy now!

Eagle still snoozing...

Mema Jo said...

Paula - Is that a
"Heart Throb"

I still can't see Wanda's...
What is it I am going to see?

NillaWafer said...

I could have swore i left a blog about those owls earlier this evening.. I saw mom owl up and looking at her 4 eggs and then said something to Jo about the owl laying so many and how its survival of the fittest between them.. Remember last year? Well maybe the drugs are affecting my brain... Na prolley forgot to post it... Belle is asleep.. I am feeling so much better .. Hope everyone else is to

Mema Jo said...

Can't be a firefox thingy because I have firefox. Do you Jill?

paula eagleholic said...

Jo - I think you and Deb have firefox or safari...I am using IE

Mema Jo said...

No one else has reported in this evening, Nilla. Glad you feel better. Rest does that for the body...
What you going to eat?


JILL I can't even see your
avatar & I am straining my
eyes lol

paula eagleholic said...

Jo - meaning someone on Firefox can't see it now

paula eagleholic said...

Nilla - glad you are feeling better.

paula eagleholic said...

Jo - any update on Mits?

Mema Jo said...

TIME FOR A SNACK
Remember I had an early dinner.....
Blueberry pie & vanilla ice cream..

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Awake now...

paula eagleholic said...

“Egg Number Three!”
For the third consecutive year the eagles at the Norfiolk Botanical garden have laid a third egg. This is a testament to the richness of the habitat. With the freshwater of Lake Whitehurst adjacent to the Garden and the Chesapeake Bay nearby (not to mention ALL those tasty gulls), this pair have found the resources to support their remarkable production. The third egg was laid Friday Feb. 8th at 11:41 pm. A full week seperated the laying of the 1st and 3rd egg (just as last year). The parents will be busy once these eggs hatch, trying to provide enough food for three hungry mouths.

I'll bet our first and last egg were a week apart, also.

deb said...

I have Safari, that must be it, Paula.

Jill said...

No Firefox here. My avatar is invisible. LOL. Wanda's is roses and Happy Valentine's day on it. Can't see the writing til you enlarge it tho. I don't think it is any particular software, I think it is the blog software because it comes and goes on mine.

NillaWafer said...

Jo i made some Lipton noodle soup.. and some orange jello.. No Paula what i said was just a thoughti had because if i remember correctly they did kill n devore the smaller owls? Or was it anightmare i had?lol

paula eagleholic said...

Nilla - Now I am completely lost!

NillaWafer said...

LOL im laughing Paula... I simply ment having so many eggs (owl) the larger usually do away with the competion?? Or am i wrong? Heavens i didnt mean to mess with your mind..lol

Costume Lady said...

Nilla, it isn't the meds playing tricks on you. I do recall, and I'm sure Jo will too, a lot of cannibalism going on in that nest.

Costume Lady said...

Sorry about the Avatar playing with your eyes. I will change it tomorrow and see if something else works better.

Mema Jo said...

OWLS: I love the adults and the laying of the eggs. However, not sure I will watch them eat rats & things and Woo be unto the weakest
cause the strong will gobble him up!!
I didn't watch that one last year when it happened - I am surprising myself by watching the owls this season. I do have 3 very good sites:1 barn owl & 2 Great Horned Owls.

Mema Jo said...

The owl sites with the laying of their eggs will fill in some off time while our eagles incubate.....

Mema Jo said...

ANYHOW: I came in to say that since I was up much earlier then usual this morning -

Good Night
Peace to you & Yours
All of you get some rest tonight
and wake up refreshed for a new day!
Prayers for all of us - we all need one thing or another - especially our health. ((((HUGS))))

NillaWafer said...

Thank God im NOT TOTALLY LOSING IT!!! thanks Jo and Wanda... I agree Jo it gets nasty but such is mother nature.. Bu ti dont think any horror could EVER be as bad as Belle in the ice and snow last year and this year is looking so promising.. I got an E-mail from Jim saying he thought the eggs looked larger and i agree.. guess when Lib did the doo he gave it an extra shot..lol opps did i say that???

Costume Lady said...

NILLA...LOL

Costume Lady said...

Here's one more weather report for the Lib & Belle area...it is 25° right now, going down to 18°.....

LIGHT SNOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT ACROSS WESTERN
MARYLAND...EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA AND SPREAD EAST TOWARD THE
MARTINSBURG...WINCHESTER AND HAGERSTOWN AREAS AFTER 1 AM AND
CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY MORNING. A COATING OF SNOW TO UP TO HALF
INCH OF SNOW IS LIKELY. WITH SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES ANY SNOW

ADDITIONAL WINTRY PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY REDEVELOP TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MAY BE REQUIRED
FOR WESTERN MARYLAND...THE EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA PANHANDLE AND

paula eagleholic said...

Wanda - yup, your picture is gone again for me!

Nilla - you had me going there. I didn't watch the owls, and now I'm glad I didn't.

Have a good evening...heading to bed.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT

movin said...

Good night, Everyone...

Glad everything is going so well for our eagles.

Have a great Tuesday morn with Suzanne and the early birders.

NillaWafer said...

Ok its now 3:50am and checking on Belle once again.. seems she musta got up and shook off snow and changed positions on eggs... All is well in the Ole Scyamore tree... Good Night Folks almost time for Suz to arrive Good Morning Suz and all you other early risers...

AJ said...

i hope Bell dont get covered in snow, she is a good mamma

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
I guess Suz wisely stayed home today. As AJ said, it is going to get worse before it gets better. It is 18° and going up to 30°:
LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK INTO THE AREA THIS EVENING. AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM...LIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL OVERSPREAD THE NORTHERN
SHENANDOAH VALLEY...NORTH-CENTRAL MARYLAND AND PORTIONS OF
NORTHERN VIRGINIA THIS AFTERNOON. WITH TEMPERATURES FORECAST TO
STAY AT OR JUST BELOW FREEZING INTO THIS EVENING...ANY
PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY FALL AS SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN. AS A
RESULT...UP TO A TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICE MAY ACCUMULATE ACROSS THE
REGION. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES GETTING A
GLAZE OF ICE INTO THIS EVENING.

Costume Lady said...

NILLA, what on earth were you doing up half the night? If you couldn't sleep, I hope you catch up today.

Costume Lady said...

AJ, you are right, Belle is a good Mama and Liberty is a good Dad.

Costume Lady said...

I just checked out SHARON'S Bluefield, and she has no snow. Sorry Sharon, I know you like the snow. Just look at our nest and that will give you your Snow Fix.

Costume Lady said...

STEVE HAS GIVEN US A NEW THREAD.
