Going to leave as is but try a new
link.... I am going to check out the Live Feed link first..JUST IN CASE
No Live Feed Today... Page not found
My cam is ok now
I pray that Sandra is getting settled into her home!
I pray that Mits is enjoying her visit from her sisters.
I pray Nilla's sister is resting without pain.
I'm praying we get another
egg today too...........AMEN

80% chance of precipitation
Gusty rain showers will produce wind gusts to 25 mph and rainfall amounts of up to one tenth of an inch.
Don't worry: Our eagles do one
great Tenting exercise!
Thank you Mema Jo.
What is being said down at that egg cup?
Wouldn't it be awesome if she would give us an egg where she is now?
We just got our test site up for the live video. No audio yet, that will take more work still. You will need real player as in the past.
Hopefully I can let out the address tomorrow.
So long as there's no snow in Sheperdstown, w.va, I'm happy. A new Mantra...No Snow/No Snow/No Snow!
Well, tomorrow I'll tell you all about my trip to the Safe Haven for Donkeys in the Holy Land...
Btw, we closed the petting zoo and Miss Piggy went to a good home not far from here. We opened a new small petting zoo with lots of cavies and bunnies, and a couple of ducks and chickens. I miss those animals of mine something fierce! But I felt I wasn't able to give them the proper care.
Okay, I'm off to bed....gotta get my beauty sleep!
Geula in Israel!!
My cam pic is losing its color or you know what I mean? It is just whitish looking. BUT at least it is there and very visible
I am Not complaining! No one will hear me complain.....
Well you didn't hear me complain BUT
the cam picture is now perfect...
YAY about the upcoming live video!! can't wait!
Okay, MAWOY (may angels watch over you)
Great info, Steven...
We are all anxious for as much input from the eagles' activity as we can get, and the live feed is the best.
Looking forward to the Dolby surround sound too...should make viewing on this site just about perfect.
[:?)]
You guys at the Center really make the whole thing work great. Thanks a lot.
Jim
WOO HOO
YOU MADE MY DAY!!
THANK YOU STEVE FOR THE INFO
ZZ seems to playing nicely at ground level right now...
Jim
WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOO!!
The baby hummingbirds are growing so quickly...fill the nest now, when I could barely see them hiding out in the bottom of the nest when first hatched.
Jim
Bring it on...was just cleaning off my disk to make room for videos!
I AM SO EXCITED. LIVE FEED TOMORROW!!!!! BOOYAH! (That is for you Mits!)
BWE eggs in view...eating in nest

Jim
BOTH EAGLES IN THE NEST!
Lib is back
Belle gone
eagle back on eggs at bwe
Lib headed for egg, turning, settling in
Hey There Jim
No luck for me too lol
HELLLOOOO!!! WE NEED ANOTHER EGG!
What is that? A half tent??
On the cam picture - someone explain to me what I am seeing
Is it a raised right wing....???
That is what I was going to say Paula. Then I thought maybe we were getting another egg but I guess not!
Sharon - Lib doesn't lay the eggs!
Mom back at BWE, towering over Dad
ROFLMAO!!
lol OK! A half tent... love getting the answer before asking the questions lol
Down Down Down
In the Deep Deep Hole
maybe Belle left Lib something that

Look at Maine if you can...gorgeous colors
BEWARE Blogger cop just ate my
comment
Going to ME
Hi everyone! Just stopping in for a short visit. Sandy is waiting to be picked up by Tom. I've shown her the eagles several times today in addition to your birthday wishes. She thanks you for your kindness.
I'm excited about the live video. The only bad part is that I won't be able to watch from work anymore then as they don't allow stream videos. Bummer!
Danelle, the still shots will still be available.
Oh good!
Danelle, tell Sandra we are looking forward to our Second Annual Eaglet Momster's picnic in her backyard this summer! :)
Hope ME keeps their snow up there...
I really wish they could have eggs and then eaglets this season like I am hoping for our eagle couple
THE ME nest is beautiful
So is the OR Marshmellow nest
well, time to go home. Talk to ya'll later!
Liberty looks so tiny there.
Hi Danelle & Sandra -
I've been thinking about Sandra all day and her coming home on her B-day! I bet her mom is excited!
Tell her to just to give a holler when she is ready for a visitor!!!
Eagle in Maine
Eagle gone from Maine
Is it raining in VA? Eagle looks like it is tenting
Sunshine on Little Lib
It takes some very fancy stepping for the NBG eagle to get up from the nest
Checked the weather on their page
Rain should not have been happening
but like you say the nest wood sure looks damp
Time to start thinking about dinner -
I am still full from yesterday's many many kinklings! lol
I'll BBL
Lib is up
Belle is back!
AND BELLE HAS ARRIVED!
Liberty does not waste any time in vacating that nest once she gets there.
Lib is gone
C'mon Belle do your thing!
She is on the egg
Heading home...see ya later!
Just got home from visit with my Mom and thought I would pass the weather forecast for this evening on to all of you:
THE WEATHER SYSTEM THAT PRODUCED STORM DAMAGE IN ARKANSAS AND
TENNESSEE YESTERDAY WILL MOVE EAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND SLOWLY
WEAKEN. IT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC THIS EVENING AND
TONIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP
THIS EVENING THAT MAY PRODUCE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND POSSIBLY AN
ISOLATED TORNADO ACROSS THE REGION.
THE BEST ESTIMATE ON TIMING IS AS FOLLOWS. WESTERN MARYLAND AND
EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA WILL SEE THE STORMS BETWEEN 5 AND 7 PM. THE
STORMS WILL MOVE EAST...REACHING NORTHERN VIRGINIA AND WEST
CENTRAL MARYLAND BETWEEN 7 AND 9 PM. THAT WILL BE FOLLOWED BY
WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE BEING IMPACTED BETWEEN 9 AND 11 PM.
LOWER SOUTHERN MARYLAND...THE LOWER TIDAL POTOMAC BELOW THE 301
BRIDGE...AND THE MARYLAND PORTION OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY WOULD SEE
THIS ACTIVITY WEAKEN AS IT MOVES EAST OF THE BAY BETWEEN 11 PM AND
1 AM.
Wanda, as you can see, we are still waiting on the second egg. They have been in the nest all day today though so that is a good thing.
HANG IN THERE LIB AND BELLE.
My Mom thinks Capt. Eagle should put a tarp up in the nest. She says she has a looong ladder. She is so cute.
Well, Sharon, I liked what Glo had to say about them wanting to slow down the process of this egg so it can be near the age of the next one or two.
Couldn't stay away too long
Looked at the cam & thought it was
Belle Then I read your comments & so glad we agree sometimes...Shepherdstown
loL ((Hugs))
I know that Norma had Study Group
BUT where did all the others go?
Weather--Shepherdstown
Getting gusty outside 8.7mph
64.8° Clear (It did get up to 70°)
Thur & Fri look cloudy but warm & no precipitation.
Man Wanda! I was just saying to Sharon that I didn't know where everyone went this afternoon..SO glad your back here & glad you enjoyed your afternoon - By the time I published the smaller weather report - you already had the Big Picture!
Thanks.......
Danelle was on - Sandra was waiting for Tom to pick her up! Exciting!
I'm waiting for an update from Ceil when she returns from visiting Mits.
I can't imagine Belle & Lib only having 1 eaglet in that big nest of theirs! I always felt sorry for Eggbert and his not have a sibling!
Just came home again. Still warm, little breeze blowing. No rain right now. Not all that cloudy either. Maybe the storm will miss us and the nest.
Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'
Keep that egg a Rollin'
Wanda check out your Momster email about a Live Feed update
You will be happy.........
Thanks Jill
I knew we could get a first hand report on any rain!
LIVE FEED TOMORROW????
CAN IT BE?
Thanks, Jo, that just made my day.
The wind is still very calm here and no rain. Hope Jill is right and the storm will pass us by. It does often when they are calling for severe weather.
Live feed tomorrow, Wanda, but the sound will come later. They still have work to do with that.
We have that weird IR light coming on strong now. 12 and a half hours before it goes away. Better than nothing. I wonder what it will look like when we have our Live Feed?
If our 1st egg was laid early am hrs on 2/4 THEN tonight in the early as hrs of 2/7 that
2nd EGG BEST BETTER BE LAID!
She is a rollin' that egg
PUSH - PUSH!
Now, why will she not listen to us?
Great pic of ONE EGG ..... lol
I never did eat dinner.......Whoops!
Belle is watching something out toward the barn, barely moving her head.
Her head movements will be the only way we know the cam isn't frozen...
There she moved!!!
Come On Egg #2
Someone has to coach her......!
I would like to know what the opinion is of the experts at NCTC. Like, do they think the egg will be alright after not being incubated all night. What Glo said earlier, made sense, but what do they think at NCTC?
I think there will be a 2nd egg laid for 2/7 we will see it.
Brad just checked the weather and it looks like most of the storm is passing to the west of us. A bit windy but not too bad, no rain right now.
BELLE-you really don't want to upset these ladies, they want an egg tonight. Trust me, give them what the want, life will be much easier. LOL
Wanda I think we can go by what Lisa said about incubation of the eggs & I have also read this many times that
Until the whole Clutch is laid - that incubation may not be constant. Here is the tear jerker however & it's what happen down in Tesoro last season. The parent will incubate an egg not knowing it is not any good! So after x amount of days and no hatching - Then is when they know they have wasted their time.
Thanks Jill - Windy here too but no rain!
Dana - If we're going to get that 2nd, tonight is a fine time to bring it on! lol
Dana-check your mail.
Yes, an heir and a spare would be nice!
Blackwater Note
02/06/08:
Technical Note -
Stormy weather was moving through the area Wednesday night, and we may have lost power in our computer room. We'll have to reboot the computers on Thursday morning.
I notice the osprey cam was not updating right before I left work, but I didn't realize the eagle cam wasn't updating...
Was she just preening or pushing?
I guess preening, didn't see another egg yet.
GOOD wEDNESDAY EVENING TO JO, SHARON, WANDA, DANA, PAULA AND JILL AND ALL THE REST THAT HAVE COME ON HERE.
Belle - I would greatly appreciate it if you could hold off for an hour or so before you lay the next egg. I have to go walk the dogs. Thank you.
I just got back from giving blood and then going right into Ash Wednesday Mass.
I have been reading the blog. Prayers are being said for Mits....hope we get news about her, and SANDY got home for her BIRTHDAY! Saw a couple of new faces on here and that is great. BUT NO SECOND EGG. Belle was just waiting until I could get on to make the delivery. :) If she would just focus on an object and do her breathing exercises, she would be able to calm down and Lay an EGG! :)
Maybe she'll lay it inbetween the Carolina/Duke basketball game! I'll be running between that and egg watching. This is a BIG game for us! This is rival week in college basketball, and Duke is our rival for sure.
Hey, I see you got WONDERFUL NEWS from Steven this afternoon. I'll have to see if I can possible get on the blog sometime tomorrow at school to see when it comes on. My teacher is taking the am off, so I might have the class by myself. Oh well, if you all keep talking, I can read about it at night when I get home.
Hey gals, is that an egg under Belle's chest?
Watching Belle
Can see Egg #1
She is raised up a little from the egg cup
Sharon Can you see anything..?
It looked like she pushed the egg back under her.
Candy That is Egg #1
Have to say that until I see
2 in a row!
Before the cam changed a little bit ago. Did anyone see the "white spot" in front of the eagle???
She is really spread out and puffy looking or is that the light on the nest?
I'm watching Jo, hadn't quite left yet. Put the dogs out back
Yes Yes Yes Keep looking
I swear her wings were out & I could feel her PUSHING>.........
Please Belle Let me see under you
Yes Dana that's the egg
Dana It is still showing a bit under her front left in the pic.
What do you think
She was checking out under her.....
PUSH, PUSH, PUSH, PUSH, PUSH PPPPPUUUUUSSSSHHHHHH!
Should have asked for a new thread before Steve left work........
I am watching closely. She is not completely down on that egg and I think she is working on something here.
If she is laying an egg, interesting that she is laying it away from the other one
More excitement tonight. Glad she waited until I got back home.
Are those two eggs in fromt under her?
Her wings are out ever so slightly, not enough to be tenting.
I sure do miss Mits!
Really bent over now
It would be nice if she had it on Sandra's birthday as her present!
Candy - egg is inbetween her feet
It is quite possible that is 2 eggs. Take a picture an enlarge it. Tell me what you think????
Maybe if there is a third one (I know, we don't even have the second one yet), we will get to see it birthed on the live feed!
I still just see one.
Those are her talons poking out...they look like little white sticks..egg just to the left of her center chest
You agree that the egg #1 is by
her right side & that maybe that is just her talon on her left side &
not an egg..........
Let us see, Belle!
She might be covering it to let it harden...
Well Whatever Belle did
IS DONE
Her position now is how BW mama looked...hope that's what we are seeing...
Ok, she got up and all I could see was a bright light. Anyone even see the one egg?
Nope, couldn't even see the egg, Candy
But she had her butt to us and had her beak in the egg cup
It looks like she has her wing out covering something, doesn't it?
Yes, it does. And she is not moving very much at all.
I just looked back over my pics... & noticing her actions...
I just feel we do have Egg #2
under Ms. Belle's Belly.......
I'll send the sequence out in an email.
I know we won't know for certain until someone gets that pic of 2 eggs in a row!
LOL - I swear she heard that. Head just came up
She isn't going to make it easy for us. She says, "Let them wait!" :)
2 eggs!!!!
TWO EGGS!!!!
Two or one! Which is it.
TWO!!!!
OH MY GOODNESS
DID YOU SEE IT
I got the pic of the two eggs in a row!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I just announced to my house that we had 2 eggs and got a resounding YEAH!
Was it two eggs? Happy birthday, Sandra!! Belle gave you a second egg for your birthday!
Happy Birthday Sandra!!!!
I was messing with my email and missed it. So glad you all caught it, and Sharon has a pic of it. Nice going SHARON!
I was sitting here a few minutes ago, minding my own business, watching for Belle to lay an egg, when all of a sudden one of the lens popped out of my glasses. After finding it under my bed with one eye closed, I had to dig out an old pair of glasses to steal a screw from. The whole time I kept looking at the computer with one eye saying "Please Belle, wait just a couple of minutes." Got the glasses put back together, looked at the computer and VOILA - 2 EGGS!
Sharon send you pic around please ( :
Thank you Belle
Sandra got egg #3 for her present
I have the picture video processing....put together 75 pics...I'll let you know as soon as it's loaded to youtube!!!
Check for your Momster's email..
I know Sandra's mailbox is full BUT
I sent it to Tom's... I sure hope she sees it!
I MISS MITS!
I AM JUMPING UP & DOWN & ALL AROUND
I was sending all my shots that led up to the egg being laid - then there were the 2 eggs in a row - so I snapped & that is what I sent.
I am anxious to get your pic Sharon
I'll sent it but it may be a dup! I mean Belle didn't wait very long before getting right down again
I AM SO EXCITED.
Too bad Mits can't have her laptop at the hospital with her, she could look tomorrow.
Blogger cop is busy.
I sent the pic I had to eaglet momsters.
I wish I could call Mits and tell her but I will refrain.
I am really sooooooo glad that she waited until I got home, and I could share it with all of you.
Sharon that is a GREATTTTTTTTTTTT picture of the 2 eggs. Nice going gal ( :
Me, too, Candy! This is sooo much fun! Way better than nerve racking last night.
I left at 8:18 to go check mail and what happens???????? Oh well. Glad we have 2. Why can't Mits have her laptop at the hospital????? Someone could call the nurses station and tell them we have a 2nd egg and they can tell her when she is awake.
WOO HOO!
I called Tom to be sure he would tell Sandra about her egg present! He insisted that I tell Sandra herself.
She sounds WONDERFUL! She said HELLO to everyone & that she has received cards from all over the world during her stay in the hospital (2 months)
She is so happy to be home! She asked that if anyone planned to stop by to definitely Call Ahead To Schedule. I told her No Problem!
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOD doing ahappy dance around the living room!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now did she lay 2 eggs at once is that what ya saw Jo??/ Man Oh Man i said way back that she would lay and egg on Sandras birthday BUT 2??? Heavens sake how eggciting is that for Sandra!!!! Oh sis is here she is doing well her hip is black n blue and sheis in some pain but Oxycodin is taking care of it..lol
Nilla she only just laid one today which now makes 2 eggs laid.
Thanks for the update Jo on Sandra. So glad to hear she finally made it home. And the news from you of two eggs should lift her spirits! Now if we could just get to MITS!
Jill, something about it not have a router, if my memory is right.
When I visit tomorrow
MITS WILL KNOW FOR SURE
Don't underestimate Ceil...
She may be a watcher But I bet she
already called Mits...
(Hosp room # not being given out)
Belle looks really pooped!!
Oh Poooo Dana is it time for my Prozac yet?lol Just d/l new pictures of Jazzy brb sticking 1 on here... with her daddy my son John..
Oh, didn't think of wireless router, was thinking they wouldn't let her have it. IF you call the hospital and ask for the nurses station for her room they will deliver the message when she is awake. But you are right, Ceil probably has taken care of it by now. And I am quite sure we don't need to remind Jo to take a picture to her do we?
Ok folks, here's the video!!
NCTC's 2nd egg!
Nilla you don't need the Prozac, I know what you read. Jo mistakenly put egg #3 on one of the posts. Unless I missed something it was a typo and there are only two eggs.
Truthfully if anyone had 5 hernias repaired - don't think anyone would be interested in using the lap top 1st day after surgery! Ouch!
I'll email Ceil & find out if Mits knows! 5-1 I bet she does...
hahaah Jill you mean those story books for childern...lolllll Oh my the video is fantastic and egg #2 clearly in nest!!!! Thanks Paula
PAULA Wow Paula, you really caught the whole thing. It is fabulous. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Considering they gave us 3 eggs 2 years in a row, I bet we get one more!
Basketball game is on. BBL
Ceil says we will have to wait until tomorrow - it's after 9 - no inbound calls - Ceil will be calling her first thing in the morning to wish her Happy Birthday.
The picture above on my comment is my son and Jazzy... Now i have changed it to Just Jazzy and she has her tongue sticking out.. If you enlarge it you can see her long beautiful eye lashes and Piercing blue eyes... Belle is resting comfortably
Paula, I really enjoyed the video. It is fun to see it all over again!
Egg #3 will be live, we hope. :)
Hey Jo - at Frederick Memorial Hospital we used the computer in DIL room to get on the internet!!
Wonder if Mits can do that??
I see Belle has finally gotten up and switched postions - did anyone see it?
Great video Paula thank you...( :
Awwww...she has her head tucked in!
I would love to see egg #3 live!
This is the first egg any of us have seen her lay!!!
Nilla - are you sure that baby doesn't have false eyelashes on?! They are gorgeous!!
Getting VERY VERY bad winds and hard rain here....
I put the video on the EM blog also, Suz should be able to view it tomorrow!
Gotta go let my muddy dogs in! Small price to pay to be able to watch Belle tonight
Dana where are you? Wind is barely blowing here and no rain.
