Must be following the Mt ridge and river cause it is just about as calm as can be here in town.

paula eagleholic said...

Just checked the poll - no one picked today for the second egg!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, I am going to be like Belle and go to bed! Another successful day from the sycamore tree!

Jill said...

I hear the wind a bit more now.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

You know, that was really hard work helping her push that egg out!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Her head is up looking around now.

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, she is out like a light!

paula eagleholic said...

She just woke up as I hit the post button!!

paula eagleholic said...

Up and rolled the eggs...settling back down

Mema Jo said...

Better then the second guessing NBG had to do! This is the whole story!

paula eagleholic said...

For sure, Jo. It could have been awhile before we saw the egg! It was over 2 hours before you could BW's egg!

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks you Belle, for letting us see your egg early! Everyone here needs a good night's sleep after the last 2 nights!

Mema Jo said...

Hope we see expression on Lib's beak when he comes in for Night Duty! lol

paula eagleholic said...

Here's another cam for all the Owl fans....nice pics....2 eggs there...

Owl Cam

Jill said...

Getting some pretty good wind gusts here now. Looks like Belle may be tenting a bit. Rain may be starting down there.

paula eagleholic said...

Check out this cute moosie video

Alaska moose

Costume Lady said...

It is 63° here and raining fairly hard, with big drops of rain. We still are under a severe weather alert.

paula eagleholic said...

Well, my dish went out a couple of minutes ago...got the second dog in before it just started coming down in sheets.

Costume Lady said...

Do we have egg #2?

paula eagleholic said...

Her feathers look shiny.

paula eagleholic said...

Wanda - yes we do!

Pics in the email, video on the EM blog, or click on the link I posted above!

deb said...

Poor thing, all that work and then gets rained on. :(

wvgal_dana said...

I think she is getting the wind and rain. See the long piece of grass that blew near her.

Costume Lady said...

I would say that we can all rest easy tonight.

Jill said...

Local forcast looks like the worst is past now. Heading northeast to Hagerstown. Looks like the nest may be in the clear for the rest of the night except for a sprinkle or two. Still getting some pretty good gusts here and light rain. Weatherman said chance of tornadoes very slight north of Hagerstown.

carolinabeachmom said...

Thank you ladies for letting me share in the hatching of the second egg. We are behind by l so I had better call it a night and get rooting for my team. You all have a peaceful and restful night. Tomorrow brings a new day with new things.

Costume Lady said...

Nilla, she gets prettier all the time. Eyelashes are to die for!
Does she have her ears pierced; I think I see a little teeny earring.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT CANDY, TTYT.

wvgal_dana said...

I think Belle is getting the wind.

Jill said...

Maybe the rain that was just at Wanda's house.

NillaWafer said...

Yes Wanda she has her ears pierced since she was 3 months old and has Ruby earings in them.... Daughter In Law called to say it terrible down towards Inwood.. Not doing anything here right now...

Costume Lady said...

BIIIIIIG TENT.

Costume Lady said...

I was reading back over comments and everybody was so excited that I can't tell if that is egg #2 or egg #3. Please tell me.

Costume Lady said...

The wind and rained has slowed down right now.

wvgal_dana said...

# 2 egg Wanda

Costume Lady said...

OK, thank you Dana.

wvgal_dana said...

That's it tenting to keep the water off the eggs. Good eagle Parent ( :

paula eagleholic said...

Belle really tenting now.

My outside sockets got wet, tripped the GFI and shut down my computer...guess that's my sign to go to bed. Finally got it back on...just came back in to say Good
Night!

Jill said...

Winds keep gusting knocking things over which the dogs feel the need to inform me of. Like I didn't hear that chair on the porch turn over and hit the side of the house.

Weather Channel still saying the worst has passed us. Not showing anything towards Inwood. I think they are crazy.

Costume Lady said...

Good Night Paula..

Wind is still gusting pretty strong and I thought I heard some thunder. Not much rain. Just sprinkling.

Mema Jo said...

Good Night Paula
TTUT when I get home from DC

Mema Jo said...

Don't know when Lib will come into the nest. I would think that he is right up there on the limb. Pray the rain doesn't last all night. We know our 2 eggs are here & very dry!!!

Good Night Everyone
Peace to You & Yours
Prayers for Mits & Sandra &
all of our needs


Thank you Lib & Belle!
We wouldn't all be here together if it weren't for you two!

Mema Jo said...

OOPSIE DOODLE

Costume Lady said...

Rain has stopped, wind still blowing but not hard.

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Jo, tomorrow is going to be sooo exciting. I hope I still have Real Player. Have to check it out and see.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT

PRAYERS FOR ALL

deb said...

Good night, everyone, what a great evening it was seeing the second egg. Hope your storms move on quickly. Poor Belle, I bet she wishes that, too.

Jill said...

Either Belle turned around or Lib came in. I was watching and walked away. When I left Belle was facing 1:00 with her head under her wing. When I came back, somebody was facing 7ish with their head up. I am not very good a judging size unles they are standing.

movin said...

I'm really happy that Belle came through with the second one, and Paula got a video of it.

There are some new videos of the current Hummingbird chicks above the frame of the picture. Take a peek.

A VERY, VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISH TO OUR OLE BUDDY, MITS!!

Please don't make her laugh too hard yet.... [;~D]

Jim

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY...

AND A GOOD THURSDAY MORNING TO SUZANNE AND THE EARLY BIRDERS.

JIM


I just peeked at Belle, and as I did, she got up, took a leisurely break, turned the eggs and sat back down pointing at c. 10:00 o'clock. (Actually saw 3 white masses, but it's too early for that, I think.)

Suzanne said...

Good morning world! Hear we have a second egg!!! YaHoo! Way to go Lib and Belle! Let's hope they're now finished with staying out all night! Have the cam up, looks like she just turned the eggs, but now just sorta sitting there. But so glad we have 2. That's a good number!
Not bad out tonight at all! 45° at home, 54° here, but windy on the way down. No wind here yet.
Want to go back and see when egg was laid. All have a great eagle/panda day! Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Suzanne said...

Belle's standing tall now, has her wings fluffed out a bit. My boss came in a while ago, and said it was DOWN to 51 when he arrived about 20 minutes after I did. It was 54 when I got to the garage! Guess we've hit our high for the day.

Suzanne said...

Wow, just checked the cluster map from yesterday...910! We're gonna hit a thousand hits for one day here pretty soon!
Steven, won't that be cool????

movin said...

Good morning, Suzanne.

I'm up again and very tired, but I wanted to say "hi" before hitting the sack.

Yeah, our Belle came through this evening (around 8 pm I think)...guess she must have laid the first one Sun night--Mon morning before the cam was fixed. I was not on-line at the time, and I had looked right after dark, but I thought it would be much later in the evening. So I took care of some other business.

I think it might be warmer there than it is in So Cal right now. Have a nice, warm day...hope to talk to you later.

Sent you a copy of the link to the video Paula made of the egg-laying event.

[:~D]

Jim

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jim! Thanks for the time that she laid the 2nd egg. I was wondering. I figured she laid the first one on the morning of the 4th, like you, right before the cam came back on. Or the night of the 3rd.
I got the link, but it goes through YouTube, which is blocked here.
What is your temp? Can't be very cold, is it? Guess the temp is dropping now. Thought it was supposed to go up a bit, then cool off this afternoon, but what do I know. Just do know it's gonna get back to very cold typical February temps for the rest of the week and the weekend!
If you go back to sleep, sleep tight. Are you feeling better?

Suzanne said...

Belle just turned her two eggs! I got to see them. Thank you, Belle!!! I feel very honored she let me see both of them. Way to go, Lib and Belle! Now we start the countdown till hatching date, 32-36 days or so. 9-13 Mar or so. HOW EXCITING!!!!

Suzanne said...

Something else that's EXCITING!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR HELEN
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!

Here's hoping you are beginning to feel much better today for your birthday! Know we are all thinking of you and praying for you.

Belle tried to hold off laying egg number 2 for one day to hit your birthday, but eggs and babies come when Mother Nature says it's time!

Hope you get to come home shortly, feel better, than have a really great birthday celebration!

Suzanne said...

Belle turning both eggs again.

I see a Technical Note on both BW web pages, but BWE appears to be working. I didn't check the pic after I saw the note, but eagle has changed positions, and has head under wing. Head was up when I brought the cam up. So maybe it's working now.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SUZ...
Good news isn't it? Also, Steve said we will get our Live Feed today. I can hardly wait!

Costume Lady said...

Belle went through some really rough weather right after she laid the second egg. It rained hard and the wind was gusting pretty fierce at times, but she HUNG IN THERE.

Costume Lady said...

Right now it is 45° here, going up to 48° and is still very windy. Snow showers Sunday.

Costume Lady said...

WHAT A WAY TO SPEND YOUR BIRTHDAY, HELEN. BUT AT LEAST YOUR SURGERY IS OVER AND YOU ARE ON THE MEND. WE ARE ALL THINKING ABOUT YOU AND PRAYING FOR YOUR SPEEDY RECOVERY.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Costume Lady said...

GONE FOR COFFEE. BBL

Suzanne said...

Morning, Wanda! Very exciting! What a birthday gift for Sandra, but if she had the egg at midnight, she coulda hit both Mits' and Sandra's birthdays. But she was close. I'm just so very glad we got a 2nd egg! I think she laid the first one either late on the 3rd or early am on the 4th. That would make this one 2 days after the first, so that would be good for hatching! Kinda hope she stops at 2, though. Easier on her body, and easier on both of them raising the eaglets.

BUT SO EXCITING!!!

Looked at BWE again, and I guess the pic is not updating. Thought the eagle was in a different position, but maybe not.

Suzanne said...

EGGS ARE VISIBLE!!

Suzanne said...

Well, darn. No they're not anymore. She got up, then turned her back to the cam, totally hiding the eggs. But turning them. And back down.

Suzanne said...

Maine nest is MT, but COVERED in snow!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning Suz and Wanda. We sure had an exciting night last night.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Suz, you got to view my pic! Normally you can't, right? KWL!

Costume Lady said...

Sharon, I couldn't seem to get caught up on the evening's events last night and didn't see your photo. Where do I look for it?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Wanda, I sent it through the eaglet momsters mail but I can send it to you directly.

Costume Lady said...

NICE CLOSE-UP!

Suzanne said...

SWITCH!!!!!!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Liberty just arrived and it looks like Belle is ready to leave.

Costume Lady said...

I'M GUESSING, BELLE.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hey Lib - surprise! :) He says "what is this?"

Costume Lady said...

TWO BEAUTIFUL EGGS, LIB STARING AT THEM LIKE THEY HAVE 6 HEADS. lol

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Lib laid down on them and now back up turning them.

carolinabeachmom said...

A GOOD TWO EGG MORNING TO SUZANNE, WANDA, AND SHARON. jUST LOGGED ON AT SCHOOL TO A BEAUTIFUL PIC OF TWO EGGS.

bw 2 EGGS ARE SHOWING ALSO.

carolinabeachmom said...

That was really exciting last night with the laying of the second egg and on Sandra's birthday to boot.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD PHOTO, SHARON. THANKS.

Chrissy Beahan said...

Good afternoon, Suzanne,Wanda and Sharon,

TWO EGGS!!!!!

Brilliant news,,,,

Now all the worry starts !!!
Will they hatch, will they be healthy, and WILL there be another EGG ??? would be nice if there were.
I hope they don't get another very cold snap, and that,that nest is deep and well insulated and Belle and Lib go to the Beauty Parlour to have their feathers fluffed up, to keep thoses eggs nice and warm.

Hope you are all as well as you can be on this cold day.

love and hugs
Chrissy

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING CANDY...
I guess the only thing that can top last night's excitment is getting our Live Feed today.

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MORNING CHRISSY AND WELCOME TO THE TWO EGG NEST! Everyone was just soooooo excited last night. You are right, now we will be wondering if the third egg will be laid :) If not, that is ok.

carolinabeachmom said...

Hey you are right there WANDA. Can't wait for that to get up and hope it works just fine. Next comes the sound!!!!!! Are we ever so lucky or what?

carolinabeachmom said...

BW is not stuck. Eagle has een off and on the eggs. Now on.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING CHRISSY...
Yes, we are hoping the weather doesn't get bitter cold too, but it IS FEB. and it will get bitter cold. I think Lib and Belle will know how to take care of those precious little eggs. Just don't want a deep snow.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Sharon, Candy, Chrissy, and everyone else that's on or coming on!
Sorry, was in the middle of something when Belle left and Lib took over, could only yell switch. I hope you all got to see it. He inspected the eggs and the area before he sat down, too cute.
Candy, have a wonderful day today, and talk to you later.
Everyone have a wonderful day today, and I'll talk on here later.

carolinabeachmom said...

Steven should be on any minute witih a new thread. Keep your eyes open.
