1 – 200 of 274 Newer› Newest»Thx, Steve for another thread on another eggciting day!!
Back to work.
Posted a few more eagle and osprey pics of 3-11 on this blog last night.
THANKS STEVEN & NATURENUT----LOOK!!---Those AWESOME EAGLETS sunning in their nest!!!----TOO COOL FOR WORDS!!---WILL LEAVE A NEW THREAD NOTE!!
BELLE & LIBERTY really know how to catch the 'LARGEST FISH' in the river --- I think!!---They are GOOD!
Normabyrd, thanks for the heads up and Steven thanks for the new thread. You know we get busy during hatching time! :)
The big fish in the nest must not be too tasty. It looks like the flies are going to eat it before the eagles do.
Thanks, for the heads up, Norma, going to look at naturenut's pictures.
I have to go pick Mattie and Justin up from school. BBIALW!
Those BWE chicks are on the move!
Hi All! Just returned from a doctor's appt. to see a feeding. They are soooooooooo cute and so ready to eat!
Can hardly wait for the third chickie and the big naming!
Oh, wow! Just took a peek at the BW chicks. They are moving all over! Poor babies, they need more loving!
There is so much fluff, I can't see the third egg. I only see two bobble heads though.
What a hoot! They are sooo cute to watch.
BWE chicks are finding each other again. Much closer together now.
Thank you Steven for the New Thread. Now what makes you think we will need it. You know us "all too well Steven" hee hee
Wow look at the fluff around our chicks.
Just had a parent switch.
One out, one in. They weren't alone for long at all.
Hi, eagle & eaglet lovers! Whew - have been really busy today. Haven't even read most of the previous thread. BW chicks have moved themselves out of the egg cup. I wonder what Mom will think of that! I can't see the third egg in our nest. Could it be covered with fluff?
Ok, I am really upset! When I look at all your videos that you have linked here the pics always look really clear! But on my video it is a fuzzy pic..why is that?? Couldn't be my computer because then your vids would look fuzzy on here, too. Also my video keeps freezing up today. Anyone else having that problem?? I did get to see some feeding time, tho.
BW chicks must have pooped themselves out with all that moving around. They look so cute the way they are laying.
i think it is covered with fluff. I watched for any signs of egg shell, or a third little head and didn't see anything. Now more fluff, we'll be lucky to see anything!
Oh, Joy JOY JOY to the eagle world. and Be Still My Heart. It is pounding out of my chest. Two new fluff babies. mauley
Karen, every once in awhile, I turn mine off and start over. it seems like the longer it is open, it starts to freeze on me. Today I restarted after 4 hours.
You will have to check out Paula and Glo's video of the big event. They both got it on video.
I know Suzanne is probably off here for the day - but I thought of a new version to her "Eyes to the sky - watch the raptors fly" Her goes: "Eyes to the nest - where life is the best" ;-)
SORRY--Would love to watch this afternoon---have errands!!--Bet those EAGLE parents are getting WARM!!---Temp is 65° now!!----That might be why our handsome EAGLETS are so enjoying being out in the sunshine!!! --- SUCH A JOY!!
Here is where you find Paula's video, Mauley:
2nd Chick hatching
OOOPS - I meant "Here goes" not "Her goes"
Cute, Carol. Hurry home, Norma, I have to leave soon for SF. Won't be back until 10 or so. Luckily I know there will be some videos for me to watch!
HEY CAROL!---SUZ leaves about 11:30---but that sounds good to me!!---she will be back early on Mon.!!
DEB---I am working the polls for school levy election tomorrow----"5:30 a.m. till 7:30 p.m."---Then count!!
(hope i don't over sleep)
Thanks for the new thread, Steve!
Hey,just check the polls, I am 2 of 3. Now if #3 can show up tomorrow I will be 3 for 3. Paula do we get a prize if we get them all right? LOL
An election on a Saturday, that is different from around here. They are always on Tuesdays for SD, IA, MN and NE. You learn something new all the time.
I like that, Carol!
Karen - there is also a setting in real player for sharpness..
Under tools, video controls. It is the one on the right - also, My feed seems to get fuzzier when they land too!
Feeding time at BWE!
30 second feed update -
I emailed Steve about the cam not updating every 30 seconds. He said he is aware of the problem and has the NCTC gang working on it!
Thanks, Steve!
Those bebes are getting big and seem to be really thriving despite the "deadbeat" dad! Momma's doing a great job!
Hard to believe the flies are out already, isn't it?
PH - been pretty breezy there all day.
WE - nest just came on for me thru the non-neokast link!
That is a cool saying, Carol...
Suz should love it.
Oh btw, when I was watching the 30 sec refresh cam, it looked like there was a dark spot on the 3rd egg. Possibly another hatching tonight or early tmrw?
Adult is off the eaglets our nest
Well, I just got back from a very long meeting. I peeked in on BW, and came here to tell you the eaglets are out of the egg cup, but I see that's old news. My how they're growing!
Look at #1 looking around!
Thanks, Steve, for all your hard work with the NCTC staff!
Paula, I was watching the PH video the other day and the poor father was moving from one side of the video screen to the other cause it was so windy there! We are expecting rain here so maybe they will be getting it first. Also hearing heavy surf.
Looks like Mom was thinking about grabbing the freshest fish brought in, but she goes back to the nest bowl without it
Paula - mail call...
Looks as though the egg well is being made even larger........
I think they are digging a cave for those babies to live in.
Instead she does a little bowl digging, and snuggles back in over the chicks
Belle (?) looks as though she is
standing in the egg well as deep as it is.
Wish Liberty would throw out the big
fish... Going to need some pine
branches!
They need a fly strip hung from the branches...
Tesoro chicks standing tall!
Digging in the bowl and fluffing up the fluff again
Looks like she is making it larger, too.
I guess she is making a 3rd bedroom.
Lisa has a great update on BWE. She even talked about how great a father Lib is by linking to what was waiting in the nest for the new eaglets here. Lib is an awesome daddy!
Snacktime!!
Now she woke up the babies.....they look like they are hungry again...she goes over and thinks about that newest fish again.....I think she grabbed some of it ...yup, feeding from this side of the bowl
Whoops! There are those 2 little bobblehead- right with the action
Wish I could see egg #3
Fresh fish for feeding.
Now she picks up the fish and takes it to the right side of the bowl...good keep feeding from there - makes for an excellent view for us~!
They are hungry !
Now with the feedings - I remember
watching the oldest one get fed first and then younger ones getting their share. But it used to worry us big time!!!
I bet Steve can hear them squawking!
Has to be a good sound to hear.
Are they about 27 hrs apart?
Mema Jo, I would say they are about that, maybe a little more. I spotted the second one at 7:25 but don't know exactly when it hatched!
I am off to Sioux Falls, bblt.
So does anyone think that DANA has gone down to NCTC.. she had mentioned it yesterday on the blog. Won't surprise me that she was able to make the trip!
Deb - I thought you were long gone!
and by now you probably are....
EMAIL for you
2 parents at BWE
Belle is really spreading that fluff! It's like she's pulling up the covers!
OMG I am sooooo furious I am seeing stars! I just recorded that segment with Belle feeding the bebes and just as I was in the middle of saving the &^%$#$#$%^ power went out! Have no idea what happened..no storm here and not windy! I looked and the clip was not saved! I am crying! Did anyone get it recorded that could link me to it somewhere? Please and TIA! (thanks in advance)
I see a nice fish at BWE :)
Everyone must have gone to look at the BWE fish in the nest - I got error message of Problem Loading
The Page......... lol
Karen - I was not recording that last segment...
Don't ya just love computers!
Thanks anyway, Paula :-( It was such a good and long segment, too! ARGH! Wasn't just my computer that went off...it was the power in my whole house! Couldn't tell if anyone else lost power cause no one else home close by me. D#$n power company! LOL!
ZOO NEWS from 3/14
Giant Panda Breeding Season 2008
Zoo News
Yeah, Jo, as soon as I read about the BW fish, over I went! LOL
Karen - I know the frustration!
There will be more to see and tape! And maybe it will be cloudier the next go round so you can see the chicks better!
Mom up, Babes awake..I can see the 3rd egg.
Ooops sorry...Is that Lib?
I am really trying to see a poop shoot! It might be too small for us to see yet!
Picking up a crusty old nestover there...looks like parents turn to eat! Ah, we were taste testing it first...feeding time again!
Man - that second chick came out hungry!
They are both eating!
Glad to see the 3rd egg...
Sure does pick up what falls in order to keep a clean nest...Really has to stretch to reach those little beaks.
Both eaglets still eating
They are so gentle. I love it.
Hungry, aren't they! Do you see all those flies (or wasps) on the big fish? This is THRILLING!
Meal's over...wiggle wiggle wiggle
I think the fluff also helps to
'hold 'em down' in that egg cup.
Don't you think from the size that it is Belle...
Paula could you email me any of the IWS nest. How you can get them without the non-neokast please. Thank you ( :
Hi Geula This Live Feed is exciting to watch. I wish Lib would remove the Big Buggy Fist...Yuck
Jo No I didn't go over to NCTC. I decided that I wanted to do that after we have all 3 chicks. Would be more fun then. Thought maybe we all could get together between Wanda's coming back and before Robyn leaves. Go over and see the live feed, color and sound then eat some place. Sound good to you?
By the way at the Martinsburg Mall if anyone likes to read. Even childrens books. Book Sale that went to this Sunday is being extended another week due to so many books. Great prices...inside in the middle near Rex and BonTon.
Maybe they just want it a little more ripe :)
What's good about having both computers up is that if one loses the live video, I can still watch on the other. They rarely go off together
Jo - they had switched a 12:45 - I had forgotten
2 at BWE again
Maybe they brought more fluff in and using it due to the rain that is coming.
They probably have "fried fish" by now. :( for them they like fresh raw fish ( :
Okay, I've got to go to sleep now...but I'll leave the computer on, so I can take a peek when I go potty in the middle of the night.
GOOD NIGHT and GOOD WATCHING
MAWOYATE: May Angels Watch Over You AND the EAGLES!
Geula in Israel!!
Feeding time again at BWE
Nite Geula AOYP=Angels On Your Pillow
Sounds good to me for that kind of a
get together at NCTC. Just let me know when! I really did think that you had gone over today! You sure are showing your Eagle Patience by waiting awhile.... lol
Just checked the radar...rain is a coming!
lol Geula
You can pronounce it as a word as you leave...........
MAW-O-YATE
Add this to your vocabulary!
It is just hitting the far western edge of MD
Whoops! Not quite right yet!
dinner time at BW
Dad feeding at Tesoro - bit ol' hunk of something!
BBILW
MAWOYATE
Still working on that 3rd bedroom!
LOl - I swear he was just looking like...did I lose a chick in the fluff?
The BW chick has climbed out of the bowl and over to the fish!
No doubt, third bedroom in the basement it looks like!
Hi all. jUst got home from school and saw where we have a new chicklet. That makes two! Yahooooo! I have our nest on live and have to finish reading the blog.
PAULA Beautiful video of the second hatching. Loved it. It is so nice of you all todo this, especially for those of us who can't watch during the day. Thanks you so much.
Your welcome, Candy! I would love to make more than I do...but time is a finite thing!
Parent was just off egg cup. Did anyone see the egg with maybe a spot or crack in it?
Well PAULA I am one who is grateful to you for your videos. They are awsome.
Wow, the BWEaglest are sure getting to be quite the chunky ones. They are soooo cute, but I know ours will be cuter. :)
It's really hard to tell the way it's buried in the fluff Candy. Jo and I got a pretty good look at it a little while ago....looked pretty whole to me.
Both eagles at BWE nest. Oops, one flew leaving the babies sleeping in the egg cup. One is grayer than the other. Maybe that is the older of the two. They are so cute snuggled together.
Oh ok. Thanks Paula. I guess I am anxious to see a live hatching myself. Sorry
Beautiful pics at BWE right now
Boy we have eagles in nests in Maine, First light Power resourses and Ft. St Vrain. Poor nest in Oregon is still covered in snow as well as the surrounding area.
Heading home...see ya later!
We are certainly getting a good view of the babies in the egg cup.
Safe trip PAULA.
Two eagles in First Light nest now.
There are three eggs in that nest too; two very white and one darker. One parent just flew away while other is coming to sit on the eggs.
Look at BWO!!!
bye
We have had ospreys around for about a couple of weeks now. I don't think that anyone has taken up residence in our nest acrossed the street just yet. Time will tell if we have a family in there this year.
Chicklets visible in our nest as parent is finally up
Feeding time at our nest. ;0
BWE are still visible. I guess it is warm enough for them to get the fresh air.
She was working hard to give that one baby a bite and it fell over!
Well, lots of excitement I see. Never did get caught up, way to many errands to run today. Just got in and have been running since mid-morning!!! So, it looks like we have two and what is that whitish thing I see - the third egg appears to have an attachment?
Will now try to read and catch up... ttyl
Feeding time again! what you were seeing was a piece of one of the hatched eggs laying beside the last whole egg.
IRIS That is what I have been wondering about. Maybe it is a piece of leftover shell from the hatching this morning. It is wierd, whatever it is.
SHARON It is wonderful to see how she tries to give each eaglet some food; first one and then the other. So gentle.
I love watching those feedings on the live video! Well I need to go home. I'll have to think of a reason to come to the office this weekend, so I can watch for our third baby. Hmmmm - I do need to do a lot of filing.
Eyes to the nest - where life is the best!
MEGAN That is just what I figured. Poo, I was hoping that I could see a live hatching. Maybe tomorrow.
Have a good weekend Carol.
Hi Sharon & Candy
Been a productive day around our nest. One more to go.. Egg laid on the 10th... Might take 2 more days to hatch.. but I hope it is tomorrow..
Give the little guy a fighting chance. Lib & Belle are perfect parents as I remember they had a good system of feeding their little ones..
Stuff the oldest & then feed the younger ones.
Don't worry, Candy, you just might yet- we all got lucky this am, the live feed came up just in time for us to catch the 2nd chick coming out of the egg.
Hello Megan
Good bye Carol
Megan Did you get your sweet peas
planted? What comes next?
CAROLINA BEACH MOM---TRY THIS SITE--IT IS THE 2ND ONE HATCHING THIS MORNING---IT IS GREAT---PAULA EAGLEHOLIC POSTED IT THIS AM.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW-3rxRfM8s
MEGAN I am so glad that you all got to see it on the live feed. I noticed it was down when I got up this am. Paula had a good video of it, so I felt like I was there kind of.
Hey JO, good to see you on. I hope the egg hatches either tomorrow or Sunday. These two hatched so close to eachother, I'd like to see the third close too.
Hi there ROCKING CIRCLE. It is nice to meet you on here. Thanks for your advice. I took a look at Paula's video when I first got home from school. My name is Candy and I live at the Outer Banks of No. Carolina.
JO is everything going ok with you lately? Are you still getting check ups at the drs. or are you on your own now? If you are going over to NCTC with the others to protest not having the sound, you had better be feeling good and take along your eagle cane to give someone a rap on the head to get them started figuring out what is wrong. :)
Has anyone heard from Wanda that she arrived in Las Vegas yet? I saw where she got on line with you all a couple of times, but wasn't there yet.
Candy I am doing pretty darn good. Just getting to where I want to go but a little slower then usual.
Routine check ups - don't think I'll ever be without the CT on lung and pulmonary breathing testing every 6 mos.
Did you have a touch of the flu when you got home from Winchester?
Howdy again - guess the earlybirds are at dinner...gotta feed the dogs and walk them...will work on today's videos after that...
Oh, there is more than one osprey at BW - Bob is down there today...he's seen a few!
Well... Jo, sowed seeds the past 2 days, marigolds, sweet peas, salvia, nicotiana, etc. etc. about 50 seed flats total.
They fixed the BWO cam....pic looks good!
We should be having a switch soon!
Haven't heard from Wanda for maybe 2 days. She may be in Vegas & too too busy to be able to find a computer to get on..
Hey Floral - does that mean I should start my seeds for my hanging baskets?
What are they Paula?
They have alyssum, chrysanthemum, silverdust, lobelia, petunia and verbana
verbena
Well that was weird. Typed a comment about Wanda, tried to post it and it said the action I was taking was being duplicated try again. WHAT??????????
Anyway earlier this week they were in New Mexico, so not sure where they are now. But getting close anyway. Doesn't the convention start this weekend?
Howdy Jill - I have gottena couple of those stupid messages this week also - and that one too.
Beautiful stretch!
Do we have incoming?
Nope, just a stretch, egg roll and wiggle in.
Oh, that's sounds like a nice combination. Early May is our last frost,so I probably would think about starting them by next week. If you chill the verbena seed for a few days before sowing,it may germinate better for you.
That was the first of that kind for me. And since I just signed back on, I know I didn't duplicate anything. Dumb Blogger cop.
Thanks, Megan.
Watching something about 2 oclock
JO I didn't have the flu once I got back. Had it earlier tho. I think it might have been Sandy or Sunny who said they were under the weather. I have just been trying to keep my eyes open after school once I got back and the time had changed.
So glad to hear you are doing better. You are our #l Eaglemomster, you know. You have to stay healthy.
Which cam PAULA; our cam?
BWE chicklets very visible again for a time. I guess it is dinnertime for them now.
Paula, I just went to you blog to look at cups. For some odd reason I hadn't scrolled down far enough to see the red fish blue fish. Too funny.
Do the cups have the picture on the outside or is it the kind you slip the picture down into? I know I have seen them but I forget.
Oh yeah. You all have a Stephanie update. WE are all so excited, she got really good news today.
JILL The cups I bought from Paula had the pics already on them. I didn't see any where you could put pics down in them.
Yes Candy, kept looking to the right...all ok now.
Jill - the picture is inside the travel mug. You can't change it. They are not dishwasher safe - You have to wash by hand, but they do a good job keeping things hot and cold!
Yes I bought the hot/cold mug also and it works really well. I love it.
Jill, so glad Stephanie got some good news today. That will perk her up I bet.
PAULA I just brought up the live cam to full screen and it looked like some birds were flying from the right side of the pic under the nest. Maybe that is what she was watching.
Gotta go feed and walk the doggies...BBL
Wow- big wing stretch-chicks are showing!~
Feeding them scraps from that fish by the nest cup.
Dinner time at our nest. Two hugary eaglets.
Evening all ( :
Lisa cam at BWO looks really good. They did a good job.
Yes I too am watching feeding at our nest. 2 chicks 1 egg yet to hatch ( : it will...
Oh Candy when we go over to NCTC to watch the live feed, color and sound. We won't be wanting to whack anyone. I know your were kidding. It is what it is...we wouldn't protest either....go just to enjoy to watch it...glad Steven lets or makes arrangements for us to come in. Happy Campers then maybe go get a bite and share each other company ( : Good time...
Hubby watching WV playing basketball again.
Yes DANA, I was just kidding about wacking someone. You all should have a very special day to get together to watch it live and hear the sounds at the same time. I envy you all. Wished I lived closer. I might retire right now if I did. :)
We have the Duke game on, but I have to go in and see how WV is doing. Hope they get a win for all you WVians.
Carolina won their game this early afternoon and will play Virginia Tech tomorrow afternoon sometime, I think.
Just a few rain drops here in the valley on my deck
Is it warm there JO so it will be a warm rain? I hope so. We don't want any sleet or snow now.
Looks like some rain drops at our nest.
Hi guys,
Sorry I missed the hatching. Much congrats!
Thank you Lisa! The Osprey cam looks good as you can see the entire platform plus the distance out from it. Hope you have a great turn out for the Eagle Festival.
Lisa - we saw your two little ones climbing out of the egg cup - Almost got away from Momma...
Do you think your dad has been doing much.. I so hope he does well. Think I saw him on the Osprey platform this afternoon..
He's been putting in the occasional appearance at the nest. We saw a fish delivery while two adults were on the nest this afternoon, but I'm not sure who brought it.
Let's just say I'm glad our mother seems pretty responsible.
Yes, Candy It is warm Temp is about 53° with light drizzle.
Shepherdstown is 54° with light rain.
Saturday
Mostly sunny. Highs around 60. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph.
Saturday Night
Rain. Lows in the lower 40s. North winds 5 to 10 mph. Gusts up to 25 mph after midnight. Chance of rain 90 percent.
Be Back Shortly....
Ok, my computer has graciously allowed me to return to the internet..for the moment. It has been raining here for about an hour, but it's a real light rain, and it's still 50°.
Lisa - I saw both of them there at least 3 times this afternoon -
Any activity at our nest?
Candy - it is 52° out now...rain is light and gentle. I walked the dogs in the rain...
LOL - 3 weather reports - guess we are all filling in for Mits - hope she had a good time with the little ones!
Contragulations on 2nd hatch date Jo, Iris, Genie, Jill and Deb.
Lisa you know we are wishing things go great this season for your Osprey. ( :
HOPE THE RAIN DOESN'T LAST LONG---THE WEATHER THERE SEEMS TO BE ABOUT A DAY BEHIND THE WEATHER WHERE I AM--THE RAIN HERE LAST NIGHT WAS LIGHT AND SPORADIC--LASTED FOR ABOUT 12 HOURS STAYED PRETTY WARM THROUGH OUT THE RAIN ---SO I HOPE IT FOLLOW THE SAME THERE
Rocking - temps should be decent - cool at night but not freezing - 50° daytime - not too bad
