GOOD MORNING STEVE...
NOT REALLY SUCH A GOOD MORNING IS IT? STAY WARM AND KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR OUR ROYAL COUPLE.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
It is 27° here and we have a light freezing rain falling. Weather advisory until 11am.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING MEGAN, GLO AND DANELLE..
Yes, do be careful out there. The roads must be really bad. I haven't heard any cars pass by our house yet and of course, schools are closed.

Geula said...

Oh, SORRY! Hi to all the Eagle Lovers! Good Morning!

Danelle said...

GOOD MORNING! Heading into work late today. It's icy out there!

Costume Lady said...

It looks like that crazy blog thingy is gone. Hope it stays that way. Too early to try to figure out where to go next refresh. If that was something new being tried out on us, I don't think anyone liked it. Couldn't see a purpose.

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning again Danelle and to you to Guela. What kind of weather to you have in you country?

Danelle said...

Well, I need to finish getting ready for work. Talk to ya'll later! Be safe! :)

Costume Lady said...

Looking at Belle (or Lib), you just know she has a kink in her wings....really need a stretch.

glo said...

LOL Wanda...at least that explains all my silliness when I first cam eon. I htought gosh no one has posted yet this morning. I even found myself wondering if there were power outages or what not. Found our way around though I guess and yes its gone for now but I et it returns at 100 posts JMHO.

Gonna fix some tea and get out the dog iscuits. heck aroudn the other nests.

. There is FeedBlitz again this morning I am never for sure if folks are findng them but I surely hope so. I do put a lot of time and effort into them.

Costume Lady said...

Be careful driving, Danelle!

Danelle said...

Costume Lady-It's extremely icy here in Inwood,WV-not far from Shepherdstown. Talk to you soon.

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---Thanks STEVEN for the AWESOME photo of our EAGLE being so protective of her EGGS!!----CONGRATS! WANDA! #1 EAGLE MOMA today!!! It is a FOGGY COLD winter a.m. here in WV---"HOME OF BELLE & LIBERTY"---temp 27° ----- SCHOOLS IN EASTERN PANHANDLE CLOSED!!----So stay WARM & COZY----on this GLORIOUS SNOWY DAY!!!!

floralgirl said...

Thanks, Steve, you're right, not an easy task to keep those eggs dry. Hello Wanda, Danielle and Geula. Haven't seen a single car or plow truck out on our roads yet either. Hubby finally has a big job and he can't get to it. All the way down in Centerville, VA.

Costume Lady said...

Oh, yes, Glo, we do find your Feedblitz. Seems we have been too busy to comment, but are certainly grateful for your efforts. You are Super for giving us all the info and wonderful videos!

floralgirl said...

Well hello beautiful Norma. This is not a snow day, it's an ice day. Unfortunately daughter had a great field trip planned to the Japanese festival at the Kennedy Center in DC today. Sort of bummed out about that, they can't make it up,the festival ends this week.

Costume Lady said...

OH, YESSS, A WING STRETCH!

Costume Lady said...

Poor thing has iced wings. Don't think she feels it. Her thoughts are only with the safety and warmth of those precious eggs.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING MISS NORMA...
Not a pretty sight is it? On the ground or in the nest.

Costume Lady said...

Sorry for your daughter and hubby. This is not a good day for them. I guess your hubby can make it up, but your daughter must be really disappointed.

Costume Lady said...

BBILW

grannyblt said...

Morning watchers.
5" of snow yesterday, then a heavy coating of sleet, then another inch of snow today. Yikes. Glad I am not a mamma eagle trying to protect eggs.Belle is a wonder.
Also glad that a real dog won at Westminster last night. Uno howled just like a real beagle.
Only a fat squirrel at PA cam. Off to check others. TTYL

normabyrd said...

BWE---Tech problems---LISA gives us pic site for CO HORNED OWL--- OWL has 2 eggs!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Grannyblt the ice is bad.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' LYNNE---Did the BEAGLE win last night!!--WOW!---We used to raise BEAGLES!!---Called kids to look in---our BEAGLE "CALHOUN"--looked exactly like that one!!
COOL!!

floralgirl said...

Well hello Dana. I actually had Norfolk up this am(first time ever for me, I just opened it again.)Hi Grannyblt- I forgot to watch last night. DId the beagle win it all? I love it, they said the beagles always seem to get overlooked. That dog was gorgeous.

normabyrd said...

TESORO---feeding time---EAGLET is up out of nest too!!---CUTE sight!!

normabyrd said...

MEGAN---I LOVE BEAGLES too---perfect dog!!---They just look up with those big eyes!--- & I would give her anything!!---We had the beagles when kids were small!!--Good Memories!!

normabyrd said...

CO NEST--MT----OWL there w/2 eggs!

wvgal_dana said...

I brought this over from last nights thread written my Mema Jo:
Before I leave for the evening

Uno the beagle wins Westminster, first time for the breed. Uno the beagle won Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show, the first time for the breed. He also became the first beagle to win the hound group at Westminster since 1939.

Megan read above comment

normabyrd said...

The 'LITTLE PRINCE' is a RIOT this a.m.----pulling on a HUGE--HUGE branch of bamboo & couldn't get it down---so stood up & bamboo unwound & so did TAI!!!---- ho! (i guess you had to see it---to enjoy)----

grannyblt said...

Watched feeding time at Tesoro. Those eaglets are at that "only a mother could love" stage.
ME comes up partially on the 15 sec camera.

normabyrd said...

THANKS DANA!----I read it too!! ho!

normabyrd said...

GEULA---I forgot to ask about the donkeys!!---How often do you volunteer?----You are such a good person-----

wvgal_dana said...

I think at Maine it is very windy and the snow that fell. Is blowing everywhere which makes it hard to see. Yes only refresh cam there.

normabyrd said...

Checked ME site---Appears to be FOGGED IN!!---could be snow blowing!!!!

Mema Jo said...

Good Icy Morning! If our eagles were not incubating eggs I would say the trees are beautiful - however since that is not the case arghhhhhhhhhhhh!
Come on Valentine's day with the SUNSHINE!

Need to read comments..... Thanks Sharon for the early am picture in my email & Steve for posting one with your comments!

glo said...

Here is a totally different perspective on what happened at norfolk yesterday See what you think

Who is the real parent here>

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all.

Steve, I think that is one of the reasons we are hooked on these birds. They never cease to amaze us!

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, Glo, we were discussing that video last night in the WVEC chat room. We don't think the DFIG biologist saw the whole thing....

Mema Jo said...

Well Glo, Paul (deocer) has just confused me with the facts! His opinion could very well be the Rest of the Story!
Need to hear some more opinions !!

paula eagleholic said...

Anyone see that nice egg roll? Eggs look good!

Costume Lady said...

Well, Glo, it looked to me as if an intruder was trying to be a surrogate parent and the real parent chased it away. JMHO

glo said...

Always nice to get whatever info we have out there however we can. Learn more and more about eagles everyday. Successful nests do not always mean happy healthy cute little fluff balls with narely a glitch in their early lives, that is for sure.

I love watching and sharing eagle info with friends. It is an awesome experience although at times alarming, confusing, and sometimes downright troublesome.

Mema Jo said...

If I suddenly disappear it's won't be a panda nap it will be a power outage!

glo said...

Gosh MeMa Jo and I was just about to say whoever is on the nest doesn't seem to be tenting anymore right now, maybe the storm is letting up.

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Jo and Paula.

Boy Glo that sure puts a different thought to what happened. hummmmmm

Makes you wonder when you watch NBG who is sitting on those 3 eggs?? The parents or a want-a-bee-mommy????????

normabyrd said...

Thanks BLUEFIELD SHARON!!!---Just learned you took the GREAT pic of our nest & sent it to STEVEN!!---It truly is an AWESOME sight!!

normabyrd said...

Been on phone---weather has cancelled most all planned events in our area!!---temp has improved--30°---STILL ICY!!!

normabyrd said...

ATLANTA SITE open---"nary a panda in sight'---check later---

floralgirl said...

Hello Jo, Glo and Paula! Just came back in, horrible outside, pouring rain, 30°, dog was having a terrible time out there. You need ice skates or cleats to get around. Still quite a patch of rain to go before it stops.

normabyrd said...

Doesn't our REGAL BELLE look BEAUTIFUL sitting on the nest!!!
(if it is LIBERTY--just allow me to think it's BELLE) ho!----Takes so little to make me happy!!

Mema Jo said...

Our power went out for a very short period of time around 8am.. It's the ice on the trees bringing the limbs down - Precipitation is rain now.
Temps are rising.....

deb said...

Good Morning all. It is 9 here this morning, but we are headed to 33! Better enjoy today while I can. It is supposed to be -10 by tomorrow night. BW cam is back up for now.

normabyrd said...

MEGAN---Do you have to fight to get the computer from your daughter? ho!---I know DAVIN has a hard time getting on!!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DEB!!---If it gets to 33° ---you will probably think you are having a 'heat wave'---KIDDIN'-----Your BLUE FLAG is blowing---LOOKS GREAT!!!----wish I had a WV flag!!!

normabyrd said...

OH JO!!---SORRY!!---I think that is about the worst thing that could happen in this kind of weather!!----Hope you don't have electric heat!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Norma maybe Paula can find you a WV flag and help you put it on here. You have been a long time without a picture.

floralgirl said...

Nope Norma, when she broke her hand last year, she was lucky enought to get a laptop. I finally did figure out last night how to make the router work, so she can oick up broadband anywhere in the house. Hello Deb!

wvgal_dana said...

Those chicks at Tesoro are still so fuzzy. I love watching their heads popping up and down awwwwww

normabyrd said...

A JUVIE at BWO???

wvgal_dana said...

ZZ is moving around Norma she is on the cam playing with small pieces of bamboo

wvgal_dana said...

She is a rollie-pollie bug lol

normabyrd said...

DANA---I have always had an 'eagle flying'----I don't remember what was happening on the blog---But both SUZANNE & I lost them at the same time!!!

floralgirl said...

Oh my, the Norfolk cam is making me seasick....

deb said...

Norma, check your mail. I sent you a flag link that waves.

wvgal_dana said...

Megan Did you read about the beagle comment that I brought over?? Jo wrote it last night. It is here at time 9:05am ok.

wvgal_dana said...

paula eagleholic said...

Nice juvie at BWO

Megan = isn't it wonderful...being able to get seasick watching a live streaming cam!

normabyrd said...

I really am laughing so hard I can't type!!!----PRECIOUS SQUIGGLE was on the table---didn't go down log---JUMPED on the floor---over to the WATER FOUNTAIN?---JUMPED UP & down & everything else from attempting to standing on his head, etc.!!!-BAI kept walking by--ignoring--PRECIOUS stayed on top of fountain!----then BAI with one "SMACK" KNOCKED PRECIOUS OFF FOUNTAIN & 'poor baby' was rolling on the floor!!----TOO FUNNY!---

deb said...

normabyrd said...

floralgirl said...

I did, Dana, thanks. Sorry I missed it last night, forgot it was on. Can't seem to step away from the computer for long... It's cool, Paula, daughter even liked watching that cam, can't wait til out live feed is up.

floralgirl said...

Oh, I just saw the baby hummingbirds, they are so cute.

IrisF said...

Hello Everyone,
Almost time for me to head out, but just wanted to say what beautiful Eagle parents we have!!!
Who could ask for a more inspiring pair to watch! They are Awesome!!!

normabyrd said...

DARN---All I do is sign in----DEB--Didn't get your message!!---please try again!!--Thanks!!

IrisF said...

Interesting aspect about the Norfolk Eagles, just who are the parents there???

floralgirl said...

Hi Iris:)

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Iris I have you in prayer dear. From what Wanda said yesterday. You are about to have a great vision experience.

normabyrd said...

MEGAN---Did you watch the HUMMING BIRD FEEDING VIDEO!!----It is just out of this world!!---She is feeding them!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle at PH/SC nest can't till if it is K10 or K26.

Immature eagle still at BWO

wvgal_dana said...

wvgal_dana said...

normabyrd said...

MORNIN'IRIS!!---Good question about VA'S EAGLES!!-----Have had you in my prayers---most of my friends have had this surgery----They wore glasses before---but now they don't----STAY COOL!--we are with you in this------

floralgirl said...

I just saw the Mom feeding them Norma..Cool. It is a lot easier to add a picture to your blog name now, you don't have to do it the old way. Just click on your profile, it has a place to add a pic very easily.

paula eagleholic said...

Missed our visit = did they switch Dana..this eagle looks drier...

paula eagleholic said...

Juvie eagle still at BWO

BWE still tenting big time

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Megan - I put a video on the eaglet momster blog of the second egg laying...

Mema Jo said...

Sorry I missed the episode with ZZ, Norma. I haven't checked out the NZ cams yet.

Mema Jo said...

I see they are having Heavy Rain down at BW... She/he is tenting big time now.

wvgal_dana said...

Darn Megan I don't know if there was a switch at our nest. My phone rang. It does look like this one is dryer. You may have it gal ( :

Mema Jo said...

This Mama Owl is even larger than the Momma Owl at NCTC Open House..
She is incubating 2 eggs


Link for Bakersfield CA Great
Horned Owl

wvgal_dana said...

Feeding at Tesoro

wvgal_dana said...

When the immature eagle at BWO puts its head downward it has a lot of white on it back. Can't till that any other way.

wvgal_dana said...

Parent off of eggs at NBG

Mema Jo said...

How about the ice cycle at the top right corner of our cam! Hope our solar panels hold up!!

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding at Tesoro!

Oh, Megan, you should really watch Tesoro!

wvgal_dana said...

Paula put Tesoro tiny link in blue here so Megan can easily get to it.

Carol_in_WV said...

'Morning eagle lovers. Whoa - that picture of belle this morning gave me cold chills! I don't even want to think of last year's ice and snow in our nest. Well, I had a surprise this morning. It was 30 degrees, with freezing rain and ice on the snow on the ground, on the trees and my car when I left home this morning at 10:00. When I got up here on this mountain (20 minutes later), it was 37 degrees, sprinkling rain and all the snow from yesterday was gone! What crazy weather! I'm hoping for a thaw down Shepherstown way. :-)

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Carol ( : Good to see you lady.

I'm hoping for higher temps for melting also.

floralgirl said...

Yeah, give me a tiny blue link, I'm too lazy to look for that cam. Busy trying to cancel my yahoo account...

wvgal_dana said...

Megan all on one line:

NOON TIME PRAYER TIME

floralgirl said...

That's the Norfolk cam, isn't it? I have that one.

wvgal_dana said...

Darn Megan it keeps cutting off the ending to the link it is

/cam.html

wvgal_dana said...

Lady B. at BWE is really spreading her wings and soaked she is.

Mema Jo said...

Megan - why not bring up beakspeak.com or sign into Momsters to the LINK page.....

I just got off the phone with my gang in Germany & then did the prayers...

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle left nest empty again at NBG

floralgirl said...

Ok, I got it, thanks Dana.

Carol_in_WV said...

I added a picture to my profile - let's see if it worked.....

Mema Jo said...

Oh Dana & Megan - I just looked out of my door to the deck and admist all the icy trees sat a brilliant red cardinal on the railing! Sooooooo beautiful

Mema Jo said...

Whoa! Carol! Big Beautiful Bear

wvgal_dana said...

Sticks being moved around by K10 at PH/SC

wvgal_dana said...

Oh Carol I love Polar bears it is awesome lady

Mema Jo said...

Carol, Megan said it was easy to do the avatar now... I guess event though I want to try it - I can't replace my Sycamore Nest Tree....

wvgal_dana said...

Oh Jo I bet the red is nice and bright!! ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Jo the tree is YOU ( :

Geula said...

The only other cam I look at is the panda cam at Atlanta Zoo...I' get addicted so quickly and thoroughly that I avoid the other cams. Sometimes I pop over to Pete's Pond, though. Yes, the Norfolk cam is interesting, to say the least! 2 moms and a dad? 2 dads and a mom? LOL!

Carol_in_WV said...

Jo, it is easy - especially if I did it! You could temporarily replace the tree and then use it again later. I have a picture in the center of my desktop screen and change it every week or so. Sometimes I re-use ones that I used before and really like.

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle back at nest at NBG 12:34

Who knows if it is a parent or another eagle. I sure don't know. Although I can tell you an eagle is setting on the eggs again.

Geula said...

See? I added a pic too....it was easy (even for me!)

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Geula I love you picture too ( :

Jill said...

Hey everybody. What a mess. Waiting to take Zach to Sheetz to meet his ride to Wisp. Crazy kids.

Megan-what was the final fix for your daughters computer?

Haven't checked any cams yet but I would guess any on the east coast are soaked. Zach says it is 36 here now but raining.

Geula said...

My desktop pic is a beautiful eagle the someone sent in ti the Momster's group......beeeeeeautiful!

Carol_in_WV said...

Come on, NORMA - it's your turn to add a picture. Some of you were talking about fleas yesterday. Did you know that dogs and cats can get intestinal worms from fleas? My vet told me that a couple of years ago. NORMA and JILL - I saw an article on the Charleston Gazette website this morning that Seneca Caverns closed suddenly. So far, they are not saying why. Those caverns are only a stone's throw from here.

Geula said...

no video cam yet, huh? I'm waiting...

I am going to volunteer at the "Safe Haven fo Donkeys in the Holy Land" twice a week, I think. A friend of mine works there 3 times a week for 3-4 hours....that's good for me. Those donks are starved for love!

Carol_in_WV said...

GEULA - I currently have NILLA's picture of Belle looking at her 3 eggs on my desktop.

wvgal_dana said...

Jill let me know how the roads are in town when you get back.

wvgal_dana said...

Geula is that very far from where you live?

Geula said...

It's about 20 minutes away by car... so it's pretty close. But then again, EVERYTHING is pretty cose in this country!
LOL

Geula said...

Mema Jo said...

I usually put pics on my desktop of the grandkids..... I have quite a selection to choose from....

Mema Jo said...

Carol - For sure let us all know about Seneca Caverns when you find out.

Geula - I love the donkey - is it
Eeyore? Norma collects donkeys - watch out she might snatch him....lol

normabyrd said...

CAROL---You are up on top of my list too!!!---SAVE THE POLAR BEAR!!---I saw a program on the polar bear!---The POLAR is much different than the other bears!!They are just AWESOME!!!----We need to save them too!!---

normabyrd said...

CAROL---Will watch the paper---for SENECA CAVERNS---I take the Gazette---but this week it's a day behind!!!---Will let you know if I find out!!---You have warmer weather than we do here!!--It's 34°now----But everything is iced over here!!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' JILL!!----Aren't you the person who has a cat that is allergic to fleas??----Did you read what CAROL said about fleas!!Hope you find some FUN things to do this week!

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, Nilla - I still have mouse pads available!

wvgal_dana said...

Must be raining at Tesoro cause eagle is soaked wasn't before.

Mema Jo said...

Hi Nilla - Can't you get someone to clean off the car for you..... That is hard work unless it is safe to let it run and warm up to melt the ice..


Paula - If Lib isn't tenting a little - what is he doing all puffed up or is that shadows ..Do
you see a small sprig of pine on the right hind side of him? Didn't see who put it there -

Mema Jo said...

Let's all remember Iris - she should be already there for her 2:00 appointment........

normabyrd said...

diver

wvgal_dana said...

Boy those eagles at NBG is not staying long at all on the nest flew out again.

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE...

Just glad the eagle pairs are doing so well protecting the eggs in that freezing weather.

Check out Squiggles right now.

[:~)]

Jim

Mema Jo said...

BWE looks today like our Belle looked like last night!

It appears the rains are coming down at BW too ... great "tenting" being displayed there.


[:~)]

Jim

movin said...

Are they having troubles at Norfolk again today? I see the eagles are off the nest.

[:~)]

Jim

Jill said...

Cleaning the car should be so bad, my ice just slid off. I did however take a slippery trip down the back steps to get the dog. Now my left wrist, right elbow and hip hurt really bad, so I think I will go take some tylenol and lay down. If you don't hear from me later it is because I can't type, but I will check in.

normabyrd said...

There were several DIVERS!----4-5 at one time!!---Every time I get ready to quit watching---another would come down!

normabyrd said...

LORDY JILL!!!---You watch out--you can really get hurt on the ice!!---I know you have had your 21st birthday----but that doesn't make you a WONDER WOMAN!!--ho!!--TAKE IT EASY KID!!!

Mema Jo said...

Really getting a birds'eye view of the NBG nest tree........

Mema Jo said...

Zoomers are really taking us for a fast ride..............WOW

Jill said...

I was watching Norma. That is the third time today I went down those steps, no trouble at all the first two. Then boom. Stupid dog won't be going outside again til Brad gets home. Used to he would just do his business on the deck when it was icy but not this year, no he has to go check out the yard, see if anything has changed, then won't come back up the icy steps. ARGGGGH.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' JIM!!!---You should have seen PRECIOUS SQUIGGLES this a.m.---She was a RIOT---BAI--just 'SWATTED" her to the floor & the LITTLE IMP!!---Just got up & went on her merry way!!---ADORABLE!

Mema Jo said...

Daily slideshow on NBG site of about 22 pics available now... Titled INTRUDER

movin said...

Our WV cam just went down... anybody else have that problem?

[:~)]

Jim

normabyrd said...

JILL---Does that mean you aren't having FUN playing with your DOG?? Going to give him away??---KIDDIN'

paula eagleholic said...

Good here, Jim

normabyrd said...

JIM---Mine is there now!!!

normabyrd said...

IRIS TIME!

paula eagleholic said...

Nilla - don't have anything in the works as far as new mouse pads...but you can take your pic over to Cafe Press and make one from it...

paula eagleholic said...

Jim - seems like the intruder is probably still around at Norfolk - but hasn't made it even close to the nest yet

movin said...

Yes, my WV picture is back, but so far it isn't refreshing.

Norfolk: The eagle on the eggs leaves constantly and comes back today, and someone on the Maine blog expressed a fear that one of the pair is MIA. What do you people, who have been keeping track of it this morning, think is going on??

[:~)]

Jim

movin said...

Now the picture is refreshing too.

[:~D]

Jim

glo said...

Nilla Not sure if your mousepad question was for me or Paula or both but yes I do still have a mousepad available to. You can see it here

Eaglecam Blogspot Mousepad There is no longer any mark up for this one , it is the Cafe Press price. Its pretty cute though and with all the new Bloggers someone might like it for sure. Take a Look.

I can definitely put the mousepad with the 3 awesome fledges and Steves quote back in the shop if I thought folks were interested, but we do have a new Eagle Season coming and of course even though Mom and Dad are the same the little ones will find a place of their own in all of our hearts.

Eggs turned our nest

BWO has an immature and an adult eagle perched, I think. Soggy looking birds.

Immature and adult at BWO

Tenting our nest!

movin said...

Thanks, Paula. Very encouraging to know they are both still with us.

I checked Norfolk weather and it is close to 70° there ... more than 10° warmer than sunny (spelled "FOGGY") So Cal today ... so I guess there's not too much danger to the eggs that way.

They are making me wonder what they are protecting against now though.

I just learned about some new technology that will be offered by Microsoft very soon. Check it out at:

There was a song back in the 60's that said "Time, time, time is slowly slipping into the future..."
I think time is on a fast track nowadays!

Still dealing with intruders and now we're left to try to figure out just who's who???

movin said...

The immature at BWE looks like a smallish male. Could be related to our pair ... hard to tell with no wing blings or anything.

I WONDER HOW CLOSE WE ARE TO THE

LIVE FEED & AUDO?


Any good news yet, Steve?

floralgirl said...

WOw- Norfolk cam is really zoomed in on eagle.

floralgirl said...

OOps, eagle flew back to nest, and now I've lost pic

movin said...

Thanks, Mema Jo.. The video fills in a lot of blanks, and you can see that the pair is still scanning the skies for intruders, whether they're currently attacking or not.

Maybe the reason they're so often away from the nest is they are operating a sentinel system, so they don't get blind sided in the nest area again.
