EAGLE just flew into BC nest--may have stopped snowing?---

normabyrd said...

I dislike this part of the posting!!---Seems hard to see who has posted, etc.---who hasn't!!

Mema Jo said...

BIG TURKEY on PA wildlife site

Mema Jo said...

A pair as far as I can see. They are really huge wild turkeys.

We will hopefully get a good viewing of the Tesoro banding. Karenincali this would be great for your children to observe.

Mema Jo said...

NORMA
You were #1 on the oldest-older
and again
You are #1 on the newer-newest

You can't beat that!

paula eagleholic said...

Whole gang is at Tesoro

Pretty snow in BC

paula eagleholic said...

Sure would be nice if they move that stick right in the middle at Tesoro...

Subject: Pete's Pond.

I think is was Paula ... and Delphia ... who penetrated the inner sanctum of the blog at Pete's (I tried and found nothing), and they were telling about the cams both being down for repairs.

Has anyone been able to fathom how long the things are expected to be down??

Meanwhile, Afrocam is still functional. I watched it a while yesterday... very small water hole, few animals yesterday.

WOW JO!!---I think these are the "MONSTER TURKEYS"---ho!---This site wasn't up this a.m.!!!

normabyrd said...

JO---Have you checked the ATLANTA BEAUTY!!---I don't see her now--but she was on this a.m.---Read her update---WEANING going on & LUN LUN wasn't in the mood to play---She grabbed her & nipped at her!!---

deb said...

Diver!!

Mema Jo said...

I wasn't able to get the wildlife up this am either - but I wasn't going to tell you and Deb lol
Right now LunLun & ButaButa are into the bamboo. Just read the past few days update. I know she'll be ok on her own - but I remember the heart break when Tai was put on his own.
They are tough little ones!

deb said...

I couldn't open it either!! I wonder if it isn't open 24 hours anymore?

Mema Jo said...

Panda nap time at the DC zoo.

WOW Look at the Flamingos

Different view!

Costume Lady said...

I think our cam is frozen...It is raining and Belle isn't tenting.

Mema Jo said...

Going to leave again for just a few

Don't want any accusations while I
am gone. lol

deb said...

Here is an article on the NBG eagles from yesterday.

NBG eagles

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Our cam is frozen.

deb said...

The clock wasn't moving, but it just changed.

Costume Lady said...

I thought it must be, Sharon. It is raining here and she isn't tenting.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Going again.

Costume Lady said...

She is moving.

Costume Lady said...

Or is that Lib??

deb said...

Barton Cove eagle covering the egg cup. I wonder if she is just keeping it dry or if she is going to be earlier this year on egg laying, too. Of course, it could be the male eagle on there?

Jill said...

Just came in from work. It is pouring here now.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Deb - Joe wrote a very good article. I liked the "Seven Year Itch" and the anthropomorphizing, (People-izing) the happenings!

Jill said...

Radar looks like it isn't raining at the nest but if it is raining at Wanda's, I would think it was raining at the nest. Maybe hasn't gotten there yet.

Mema Jo said...

It's really foggy here in the valley
It has been raining off & on. I guess the downpour is about to happen..

Costume Lady said...

It is raining cats and dogs here!

Costume Lady said...

Jill, thought I'd tell you that we got excused from court. If you'd like to join the circus, you can stand in for us.

Jill said...

Thanks Wanda, but I have my own little circus at city. LOL Glad you were able to work it out tho.

Jill said...

Anyboyd seen Iris lately? There is a massive power outage in and around Miami. And a possible tornado warning in Broward County.

Unknown said...

Hello all!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hello Cheryl!!

Jill said...

Hey Cheryl.

deb said...

Judy, on the Maine forum says the first egg at Barton Cove was on Feb. 28, the site picture shows March 3, but that could just be the first picture they had. Whoever is on the nest isn't moving much.

Unknown said...

I've spent the last 45 minutes reading through all the comments since 5:30 pm yesterday. Wow!

Jill said...

Paula, I found that article about Limuw, it is right below the picture. DUH. I think the other night the writing wasn't coming up on my computer. (I'll stick with that story anyway)

Jill said...

If you think that is bad Cheryl, you should see when we all get together. LOL

Jill said...

Can somebody look at the West End nest and tell what that is in the middle? Is it lunch? OR a bird?

Costume Lady said...

TAKE COVER IRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Glad you found it, Jill.

Jill said...

I knew I had seen it and I knew what you sent wasn't exactly what I had seen but I couldn't find it the other night. Maybe tis time to get my eyes checked. LOL

Jill said...

4.2 million people without power in FL. Storm moving off the coast. Hope Iris isn't on the road anywhere. People aren't stopping at the intersections where they lights are out. DUH>

Costume Lady said...

There has been so much snow and rain since Belle laid her eggs, that the babies will probably have webbed feetsies.

deb said...

Eagle at Maine.

deb said...

I keep losing the Tesoro cam, maybe the storm? Or am I the only one having trouble with it?

Jill said...

Last post from Iris was 12:45 talking about Jo and a baked potato. Wonder if that is when the problems started? Or if she went out somewhere.

Costume Lady said...

Jill, do you have any news for us yet?

Jill said...

Where exactly is Tesoro?

Jill said...

Jill said...

I have an appt at 3 today.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD LUCK AND PRAYERS!

Jill said...

Thanks Wanda.

IrisF said...

I am here but did not know what was going on...Thanks for the heads up!!! We thought maybe we forgot to pay our Elec. bill (grin)


Seriously the power was off here for over an hour and of course we couldn't find out why. Forgot we have an emergency radio...not hurricane season so we left it packed with the "essentials"

A power outage of that duration is kind of rare down here actually...should have realized it might be storm related.

Jill said...

Wanda, check you email. I think I got the address right. Had to do it from memory.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thundering in Bluefield right now. Strange weather.

Jill said...

Iris, they don't think the power outage is related to the weather.

Jill said...

We are supposed to have Tstorms tonight or tomorrow. Send them on up Sharon, keeps me from working. LOL

deb said...

It is in Port St. Lucie, Jill. I will need to check the map to see where that is.

Jill said...

Iris is that near the outage?

Jill said...

Gotta run. Be back after appt. Or a nap. Sometime later. LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle is still at BC in the snow....

IrisF said...

Hi Jill, Port St. Lucie is about 70 miles north of Boca Raton and Boca is about 45 miles north of Miami. So they should be OK for now. We do have a cold front moving in late tonight and all of tomorrow, out temps will drop down into the 40's by tomorrow night. We are also supposed to get high winds coming from the west/northwest...

paula eagleholic said...

My Tesoro has been good...nice and sunny all day there today...some nice puffy clouds too

paula eagleholic said...

REally breezy at NBG

MITS said...

deb said...

Thanks, for the weather updates, it must just be my computer for some reason today. I finally turned off the Tesoro cam, I will try again later.

MITS said...

keeper is feeding Mei Xiang a snack

deb said...

Eagle just left the nest in Barton Cove.

Mema Jo said...

I still see the Barton's Cove eagle in the nest - quite snow covered but is keeping the egg well dry even though I think it is an empty egg well.

paula eagleholic said...

Rats - no egg, thought she might be laying one at BC

Mema Jo said...

WOW Deb I looked again to be sure & I must have been blinded by the snow! What I am seeing is the dry brown empty egg well itself!

I really thought it was a snow
covered brown feathered eagle.

Mema Jo said...

Time for me to take a break!!

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Adjusting cam at Tesoro

deb said...

I was hoping for an egg, too. Darn. Eagle in Maine.

Danelle said...

Hi ya'll! Hello to all the new people today. Just now having time to check in and see Belle. Looks like all is well, but still am not sure what she had for lunch??? I agree, looks like a baked potato. Maybe she ordered take out??!!! HAHAHAHA.

deb said...

I reopened Tesoro and it is working fine right now for me.

Carol_in_WV said...

Hi, eagle lovers! Checking in for a few minutes. Working on Payroll today. We get paid once a month, at the end of the month. Got everything enterd, except for one employee's time. He lives in Illinois and isn't answering my phone calls and email messages. Wet and cloudy here. May get some snow tonight and tomorrow, along with some wind. There was a piliated (sp?) woodpecker in my backyard this morning, drilling away at a fence post. I saw the post the other day and figured that a woodpecker had been working on it. It was cool watching him this AM.

deb said...

Divers coming in.

deb said...

Eagle back at Barton Cove, settled right into the egg cup.

deb said...

The eagle looks like she is tenting, now, in BC.

Danelle said...

well, time for me to head home. I have CABLE INTERNET NOW---HALLELUJIAH! So, hopefully I will see ya'll tonight.

Love,
Danelle

deb said...

That's great, Danelle. See you later.

Jill said...

Iris and Wanda you have mail.

deb said...

Both eagles at NBG,

deb said...

Zoomed in really close, now, at NBG.

deb said...

Eagle in the nest left at NBG, still one on the branch.

Jill said...

Don't ya love it when you are talking to yourself Deb. LOL. I have been checking in and out, doing other things too. Keep talking the updates are great.

paula eagleholic said...

Lib is back, looking at the tater

paula eagleholic said...

Sour cream and butter please, Yum YUm....Belle flew the coop!

paula eagleholic said...

Sour cream and butter please, Yum YUm....Belle flew the coop!

paula eagleholic said...

Fog really starting to roll in!

Jill said...

Belle went to get the butter and sour cream and some meat to go with the potato.

paula eagleholic said...

And maybe some bacon bits and cheese too

deb said...

Now, I'm not alone. I think that is the male at NBG. There are pictures on the Maine forum to help identify them. Of course, I could be totally wrong!

deb said...

Both eagles in BWE.

Jill said...

I think you are right Deb. I thought it was the male too.

paula eagleholic said...

Ewww

paula eagleholic said...

Anyone see him eating that reallly long stringy piece?

Jill said...

Could that baked potato have been a duck. Earlier it looked like a duck head to the right, now it looks like a leg on the top left. Or maybe I just need sleep and glasses.

Jill said...

Maybe the leg I thought I saw was the long stringy piece. EEWW. Intestines?

deb said...

Blowing it up didn't help identify it. BWE is eating in the nest again. I wonder if it was delivered since they were both there a little while ago.

paula eagleholic said...

Haven't seen any feathers being plucked or in the nest....my guess is ?????

Bunny maybe - dark back, light underside.

It also looked like a big ball of rubbery stuff, smooth like...like a big puffed up fish...

paula eagleholic said...

I tried blowing up it too, Deb. NO luck...just dots!

IrisF said...

Jill, didn't receive mail?

Sure is an odd looking meal or leftovers there...What is that?

paula eagleholic said...

That long stringy stuff was there when it was brought in....ya know, I see how you see the duck, Jill. Looking back at the first pic...

Jill said...

HUMMM> I will send it again Iris.

deb said...

I wish Barton Cove had a light, we are going to lose it pretty soon.

Jill said...

Guess it helps if I send it to you and not me. LOL

floralgirl said...

DId you guys see this on the NBG eagle cam page?-Special Eagle Cam Event: Join us for a moderated live chat session with biologist Reese Lukei, Thursday, 2/28 at 1:00 pm Eastern. Get your questions about the eagles ready!

Jill said...

The "head and neck" looked like a duck. But it was small. I have seen some duck around the quarry the last couple of day.

Jill said...

Megan, did you see the Journal yesterday? They had an article on Farmer's Markets.

floralgirl said...

Yep- I saw that, Jill.

Jill said...

Meant to mention it yesterday but kept forgetting. Hopefully this year I will get down there when you are there. Last year I just missed you a couple of times.

paula eagleholic said...

Awesome, Megan. Thanks for the heads up - hope I can make it.

deb said...

No egg in Barton Cove, the eagle just moved.

Jill said...

I know somebody posted the NBG article here earlier but now there is a video. It shows the eggs up close. Here is the link, one line of course.

http://www.wvec.com/video/topvideo-index.html?nvid=221426&shu=1

deb said...

Got right back on the egg cup and she is digging around.

deb said...

Now she is tenting.

paula eagleholic said...

I am having a tough time with that cam today...keeps buffering and going off...I'm sure the snow isn't helping...wonder when that egg will pop out?

Gotta go...

deb said...

Egg turning, out nest.

deb said...

I gave up on the BC nest, it got too dark. I wonder if one of the snow clumps I saw when she got up, could have been an egg. I just watched the PH eagle turn the egg and it looked just like the BC eagle, when I said it is digging around. Maybe we will know in the morning?? The eagle was still tenting when I shut it down.

deb said...

NBG eagle was in nest, flew off and now they are both together on a branch in another tree.

Danelle said...

Hello Deb! Hello everyone. I'm home now on my speedy cable internet and LOVIN IT! :)

Danelle said...

I'm getting to see the Tereso nest for the first time! How cool!

MITS said...

Danelle, you are going to love the faster speeds

Danelle said...

can someone tell me the website for the zoo cam? Thank you.

deb said...

Is it the National Zoo that you want? If so, here it is.

http://nationalzoo.si.edu/default.cfm

Danelle said...

yes Deb, thanks!

MITS said...

THANKS DEB, was just going to get it for Danelle.....Danelle make sure you go to bottom of page for all the animal cams...enjoy!

MITS said...

ZZ is taking a nap on top of the table out in SD

deb said...

Time for dinner, BBL.

MITS said...

egg turning our nest

Danelle said...

MITS said...

ZZ (ZHEN-ZHEN) is the Giant panda cub out in San Diego zoo, Danelle.

MITS said...

all on one line, Danelle

Danelle said...

thanks so much! This is awesome!

IrisF said...

Wow Danelle, isn't it neat to have high speed at home!!! I know you are a happy camper tonight! Have fun!

IrisF said...

Both eagles at PH

Danelle said...

Thanks Iris! I will. Well, the laundry is calling me right now. Will try to get back on later.

Love,
Danelle
