Little BUTA BUTA is outside in the sunshine enjoying her 'TON' of bamboo!!!----She misses playing with LUN LUN!!----I can tell!!---They have all the toys around hernow!!---she doesn't seem to notice them!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Winchester is getting to be quite the BUSTLING, BUSY CITY. It has grown so fast in the 7 years that Josh has lived here.

normabyrd said...

WHOA---Can't stop worrying about storms in FL!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Well it is almost time for me to head out for a bit. You all keep your eyes peeled to the LIVE COVERAGE of the NCTN nest and watch for cracking eggs! BB

normabyrd said...

CANDY---It used to be a small friendly little town---easy to find your way around, etc.!!---'ALL AT ONCE' things began changing over night!!!---

Mema Jo said...

I see all 3 eggs being rolled
and the egg well being dug down deeper

Now Belle needs to get all the fluff back around her.....

wvgal_dana said...

Hi All ( :

Feeding at BWE

wvgal_dana said...

Book Sale at Martinsburg Mall inside down by Rex and BonTon...3 paperback for $1.00 Hardback I think it was $2.00 or $3.00

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DANA!!---Wondered where you were this a.m.---Just checked the DONKEYS again----only about 10 waiting for you!! ho!----Back later!!---ENJOY!!

wvgal_dana said...

lol thank you Norma ( :

Sale is suppose to end Sunday but I don't think it will. Have too too many books to put out. They will have a "bag day" also. Whatever you can get in the bag hardback or paperback.

wvgal_dana said...

Newspaper puts in on and the proceeds goes to "education".

Mema Jo said...

A few rain drops here in the valley

Anything yet in Romney or Sharpsburg?

floralgirl said...

Just about to start raining. I really need a webcam, I've got 2 pileated woodpeckers in a holly tree eating the berries, as a mockingbird trys to get them out of the tree, a cardinal pecking at an applecore, and two mockingbirds fighting over a grape(too funny). Oh, and 3 flickers, two downy woodpeckers and two nuthatches all perched in my walnut tree. Chaos..

Mema Jo said...

Hi Dana
I've been watching our live feed
Belle has been checking the eggs more than usual - but I did just see all
3 of them.

floralgirl said...

Egg roll, look at her tuck all that fluff around, she knows- and it's just starting to rain.

wvgal_dana said...

Belle is digging to China. She keeps it up she will be sinking with the wiggle.

Jill said...

NORMA, It was after the new hospital was built, Winchester grew so so much. Oh and the Martins shopping center out by the mall, I remember being lost behind that shopping center and the road just stopped. Now it connects to the mall.

Noticed a bunch of bird stealing cat food from the neighbors porch when I came in. Cat sitting under the car looking at them. I think he is afraid. LOL

Mema Jo said...

Megan - you really do need a cam!
That bird count is awesome!

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Jo. ( :

Jill said...

Few drops of rain here but they dried off without wipers. Getting cooler tho.

Mema Jo said...

DUHHHHHHHHHHH
Is a fish hawk the same as an osprey?

Lisa's BW pic

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Can you all believe this egg cup? Comes up farther than the eagle!

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Jo Fishhawk is an Osprey

wvgal_dana said...

eagle standing in nest a NBG

wvgal_dana said...

This morning 2 large groups of geese flying north. Spring is coming soon..( :

Eagle gone at NBG

Jill said...

The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), also known colloquially as seahawk, fish hawk or fish eagle, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey.

Jill said...

Dana were the geese being chased by a hungry eagle?LOL

Jill said...

DANA-Have you been to the new Wal-Mart yet? Do they have a craft section?

wvgal_dana said...

Seeing lots of Robins now...it is starting to sprinkle at my place. Which is 10 minutes flying time for our eagles.

wvgal_dana said...

No Jill haven't gone to new WalMart yet. They probably would have a craft section. Although can't say I seen one there since I haven't been there.

No eagles chasing the flying geese hee hee

Mema Jo said...

I can see rain drops on the cam

wvgal_dana said...

Jill did you read few comments back about the "book sale"?

Jill said...

Think I will ride up there and check out the crafts section. Need fleece for 2 blankets can't find anything I like. Cant go to Hagerstown cause I am working.

wvgal_dana said...

Raining hard at Norfolk eagle sitting in pine tree.

Jill said...

Yes Dana. Might check that out tomorrow. Lady I wor with waits til the end, then grabs up a bunch of cookbooks for practically nothing. Last year she got 3 Southern Living Cookbook for $2. And they weren't that old.

wvgal_dana said...

Your right Jo I see the rain drops at our eagles nest.

wvgal_dana said...

We go first day due to certain authors. Then we will go another day where it is 'bag day'.

wvgal_dana said...

Picked up Patricia Cornwell's At Rick. Dr. Kay Scarpetta series. A paperback in with my 3/$1.00. ( :

Jill said...

I am not a big reader. I have emailed my cousin to see if she wanted anything. Raining fairly hard now.

wvgal_dana said...

Belle is going to get wet. I think those 3 eggs will stay nice and dry. With all the fluff she has put around herself. Plus making egg cup deeper.

Jill said...

Think I will come check out your WalMart DANA

Mema Jo said...

I forgot - need to eat some lunch!

Jill said...

45 Degrees and raining. Looks really dark south of here.

Jill said...

Good Idea Jo. Not sure I had breakfast. HUMMMM

Mema Jo said...

Lake Washington eagles in nest

Trying to get a glimpse of Owl Cam 1
Ms Owl from the Wildwatch Hotel
to see how many of her 6 eggs have hatched. She sleeps alot!

Owl Cam 2 Mrs Owl is standing & you can see some of the little ones underneath her.

Jill said...

Jo, there might be one hatched egg in the hotel. It looked like a shell out beside her early this morning but didn't see a baby.

Mema Jo said...

Jill - one of the 6 did hatch yesterday. I haven't gotten a good look at the chick yet on Owl Cam 1

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I think only Belle's weatherproof feathers are going to be damp. The entire rest of her is countersunk in that egg cup.

floralgirl said...

Both- our nest

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, so I guess that was Liberty in the egg cup because I think it is Belle that just arrived!

Mema Jo said...

Both in nest

floralgirl said...

Eggs showing. Switch

Mema Jo said...

Get that stick out of here!!!

Mema Jo said...

Well I am confused also as to who we have been watching which I also thought was Belle - But with the fly in, that really looked like Belle.. unless the cam distorts their size when they are up here at the 6:00 position..........

Mema Jo said...

As long as those 3 eggs are
covered - who cares who is who

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mema Jo, she does not fit near as deep as he does in that egg cup. He was countersunk and she is no where near that deep.

IrisF said...

I think she is up higher in the cup too, but that may be so she can TENT them better, and keep all that fluff dry? What do you think?

Norma, I drove home from Genie/Jewell's yesterday in one of our Florida storms! Took me almost two hours and it usually takes about an hour. Visibility was pretty bad sometimes. When it is just rain without the high winds it isn't so bad. Today we have the winds here but not the rain!

Mema Jo said...

I think that is the way we will be able to tell... Like now Belle looks as though she isn't even down over the eggs if you compare it as to how Liberty looked with he was sitting right on them.

IrisF said...

Megan, did you get my email?

floralgirl said...

Just found it, Iris, sent you my new email address.

paula eagleholic said...

Egg roll, back down and tenting...poor eagle is going to have some stiff wings...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

If she digs that deep enough for her to countersink, Liberty will not be able to be seen at all when he gets in there.

paula eagleholic said...

I believe that is Belle on the eggs also...seems like when Lib leaves, he backs up off the eggs onto the back of the nest, and departs from there.

Mema Jo said...

Big Tent
More Fluff

Wish we had audio
Belle just said something...

Mema Jo said...

Paula Helen & I have both seen some eggs in the Heron's nest


Link To Great Blue Heron Nesting

Mema Jo said...

I need to take a break

BBILW

floralgirl said...

Both eagles at Barton's cove-nice shot of the three eggs.

wvgal_dana said...

Just see I think 2 eggs in heron nest

floralgirl said...

ok-what is she looking at?

wvgal_dana said...

The way Belle was tenting it looked like both eagles was in nest. She is determined to keep those eggs dry. ( :

paula eagleholic said...

Where are the eggs?

paula eagleholic said...

I mean the heron eggs. I don't see them in the nest

Jill said...

Lib in Lib out. Might have left some food.

wvgal_dana said...

Our other eagle just flew into new (looked big) walked alittle and flew out. I believe up on a limb.

wvgal_dana said...

The heron is sitting on the eggs in the nest. I think it was 2 of them.

wvgal_dana said...

cam 1
heron standing do you see the eggs?

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, so you see heron eggs at cam 1. I take it cam 1 and cam 2 aren't on the same nest....

Carol_in_WV said...

Hi, eagle & eaglet lovers. It's been raining here since 11:00 AM. Even sleeted once for about 15 minutes. Yeah! This weekend and next weekend is the Maple Festival in Monterey, VA - the county south of Pendleton County. Nothing better in the world than fresh, warm maple donuts! Maple syrup - another harbinger of Spring!

AJ said...

hello all, thank you paula for helping me get my browser straightened out, i havent had to sign in since, has a egg hatched yet ?

AJ said...

i am still having some problems i guess , when i post a comment , it seems to mute the blog i dont see any more comments , any suggestions?

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, Lib brought Belle something to eat!

paula eagleholic said...

Aj - when you cam onto the blog, did you click on the link that said 285 comments to get here?

AJ said...

yes and then i clicked on newest , paula i got your comment bt email i had to click on that just now to get a response

Jill said...

OH Carol, I wish I could go. Have to work both weeks. Why is it I have the most seniority and end up working the most weekend??????? Norma can I borrow your cane? LOL

floralgirl said...

Egg roll!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, everybody, I am heading out of here until Sunday evening. Mattie, Justin and I are going to Thelma's in Bedford, VA for the weekend. You know as sure as God make little quacking ducks, there will be a hatch while I am gone. She doesn't have internet yet. So, I will blog with you all Sunday evening. Have a wonderful weekend!

Sunny said...

Well, I finally got the live feed back about an hour ago! Poor wet Belle.

Carol, we came down to Monterey about 3-4 years ago for the Maple Fest! It's hard to believe that it's that time of year again.

Sunny said...

Sharon, have a good trip. First hatch won't be until Monday, though! My b-day present!

wvgal_dana said...

Be safe Sharon have fun tell Thelma I said Hi ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Our eagle pulling more fluff in

movin said...

Hey, finally, Good Day, everyone...

My cable modem has been winking and blinking its "Ready" light at me all morning, and I couldn't get on-line until almost noon.

Haven't looked around much, but I see Norfolk doesn't have an egg yet, and there's an article under "DGIF" posted today about the delay and their prospects.

Our live feed is working again, and I noted on the newest Real Player you can record the clip...don't know what you do with it next though, not yet anyway.

[:~)]

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

aj - have you refreshed the page to see the latest comments?

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Jim It's raining on our eagle.
The long stick has been in nest. Although not where it is now. It looks like when the eagle got up one time. It's wing (tenting) touched the end of the stick. Which is now partially under the eagle.

wvgal_dana said...

aj Do you have Vista or Windows XP?

wvgal_dana said...

Wish we could increase the size of the picture on the herons.

AJ said...

yes i just refreshed i have windows xp

floralgirl said...

Eaglet feeding time at BWE

AJ said...

it could be something in my security , i will check that out,
i just found out that you can click on real player as a shortcut and at the top where it says file click there and it will show a link for the eagles live cam just click there, good shortcut , but you guys may already know that

paula eagleholic said...

aj - blog posts only show up when you refresh the blog, or if any have posted between your last refresh and your current post, they will show up also.

paula eagleholic said...

Finally, she moved her head...I guess they just don't move much in this kind of weather....I suppose it conserves energy and body heat.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at LW - eating

Mema Jo said...

I have returned to soggy Eagle Land.


Scarface is still hanging out
at Pook's Place. I wonder when his antlers will grow in again..

movin said...

Did you all read and view the new articles and video clip on ZZ recently ... "News" page.

[:~)]

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

heading home - catch ya later!

Mema Jo said...

Eagle alert for KENT nest
Cam 2

Mema Jo said...

I looked at ZZ's most recent video. Sure is a climber but seems to bounce right back up after all those falls she took!

movin said...

Mema Jo, do you know when, or if, they are hooking up cam #3 at Kent?

Sure hope they focus it on the nest itself.

[:~)]

Jim

Mema Jo said...

Just made a comment that I wished Cam 3 at Kent would be hooked up soon to the server. We could really see the nest and tell how far along they are with the nestorations. I haven't had any word on it, Jim.

Blogger Cop ate my comment.
So I'll try again..

Mema Jo said...

I think that is some of Spidey's
web in the lower right side of our live feed. If it is - I hope he is water proofed!

Mema Jo said...

Dinner time here - BBL

paula eagleholic said...

OUr eagle still tenting, facing 7ish

Lolly said...

Back again! I will be glad when Momma Owl will let us see her babies!

Today Jack, my husband, built and installed two red bellied woodpecker houses as well as a screech owl house. May be too late in the season, but maybe one of these days.....!

movin said...

Mema Jo, do you know when, or if, they are hooking up cam #3 at Kent?

Sure hope they focus it on the nest itself.

paula eagleholic said...

Howdy Anne - the light is always on at Motel NCTC!

floralgirl said...

So glad it has stopped raining here, Wv eagle is all tucked in for the night. Poor eagle at BW has been getting drenched with rain, she's really spread out over those eaglets.Rain is almost finished there.

paula eagleholic said...

Lisa updated her Web Log

Jill said...

Hopefully Daddy BW steals better than he hunts. LOL

floralgirl said...

Oh, thanks Paula, I hadn't seen that. Always a lot of interesting information in Lisa's posts. Thanks Lisa:)

paula eagleholic said...

And she included some wonderful eagle photos and links. Excellent!

paula eagleholic said...

floralgirl said...

Yeah, I'm still checking them out, now I know it's spring, time for the eagle festival:)

Mema Jo said...

Moose Cam has an update & some new pictures (shots)

http://moosewatch.com/

Lisa's webpage is as excellent
as usual.

NatureNut said...

Hi everyone. I see many of yyou have commented about the video tonight. I assumed it was off for the night. Altho Player finally pops up for me, it just keeps doing a "rolling loading" & never plays. Duh?!
Tomorrow I'll try to post some pics on this blog site. I found "Comment tab" which pops up an email window. I assume I can attach & send there.

floralgirl said...

Wow, Bob Quinn has some beautiful photos again in his gallery.

paula eagleholic said...

Nature -
Copy and paste this link into your real player, under file, open. Cam should come right on.

There was an egg roll

a dig egg cup deeper
a talk to the eggs
a wiggle wiggle
Now head is tucked!

floralgirl said...

Well thanks, Jo. That about covers it. Blogger wouldn't let me post either.

Mema Jo said...

Time for me to call it quits while the quitting is good!

Good Night everyone in Eagle Land

Prayers for all needs being said


Rain Rain Go Away

Mema Jo said...

** Nite Megan!

floralgirl said...

Good nite jo:)

floralgirl said...

I think there's a fox on the PA cam, saved a pic. Cam keeps switching views.

Danelle said...

Good evening everyone! Just now finally making it on here. What a crazy day!

floralgirl said...

hey Danelle:)Gray fox still on PA cam. Wish the cam would stay on him, it keeps switching.

floralgirl said...

Eagle's shaking off again, see 3 beautiful eggs, up off the eggs, snacking on a fish:) almost a midnight snack.

Mema Jo said...

WHOA! We have a hungry eagle!!

floralgirl said...

She is gulping that fish down.

floralgirl said...

Big wing stretch, and a little more fish.

floralgirl said...

Well that didn't take long, that fish is history,back onto the eggs. wiggle, wiggle..

Mema Jo said...

Megan-I clicked on Recent Remote Photos on the PA cam & I can see
the fox! He is a big one...

Ready for bed just didn't go yet!
This cam is sure addictive

Hi Danelle

floralgirl said...

Yep, I knew you couldn't walk away... that was a big fox.

Mema Jo said...

Megan - is there a dead deer on the ground - enlarge one of the photos

floralgirl said...

You know, I'm not sure, I see that on the ground, was wondering what it was, the light(or lack of) makes it hard to see. But that fox was there for a while,and I was wondering what he was eating.

floralgirl said...

Ok, yeah Jo, that definitely looks like a deer carcass. ANd darn it, there were racoons and I missed them.

Mema Jo said...

I hope the fox missed the raccoons...

Mema Jo said...

Now For Real
Good Night
TTUT

paula eagleholic said...

Ok, I was elsewhere...gotta go watch the midnight snack!

Jill said...

Jill said...

Jill said...

Blogger Booger doesnt like me tonight.

paula eagleholic said...

Awesome snack...gotta go make a video!

Jill said...

She tore up that fish, real quick

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE/GOOD SATURDAY MORNING TO EVERYONE IN EAGLE LAND.

[:~D]

JIM

Jill said...

Had to go to work. Did a rewind doesn't look like she moved much. No standing or rolling.

Jill said...

Egg roll at 2 am. She seemed to roll one more than the others. Couldn't seem to get it where she wanted it.

Jill said...

Head tucked in, sleeping soundly. I am going to sleep, hopefully til the sun comes up but............

AJ said...

she moved all three eggs with her beak put them in a triangle, she pulled the far right one way up in the egg cup then moved the other 2 they were in a row but are in a triangle now , she did two egg rolls ,

NillaWafer said...

I cant sleep and watching Belle.. at around 3:15am something really disturbed her.. She jumped up and flapped wings and could see she was sqwauking...Seems abit of light snow is flying around on cam... She is still wide awake and looking back towards the cam..Still she seems very nervous...Her eyes glowing...She is still watching back towards cam.. Its been 15 minutes since she was disturbed.. Now her head is back an she is resting...So all is well in the nest... Good Night gona try n rest also.

movin said...

Belle was still awake a minute ago, but she's now tucked her head under her wing.

I think it was probably thunder that aroused her. Not raining yet.

Jim

Bird Girl said...

Going on 4 am here in Arizona..that's one wet eagle in our nest this am! Poor thing!

Hopefully we'll have a hatching of our own any day now!

See y'all around..lurking this weekend :)

floralgirl said...

Well, *%$#@*@#%#*^#@#!!!my live feed is not working again-trying all the tricks I used yesterday to open it....

Donnie said...

I'm not sure what happened to the live feed. It was working all night. I went to the kitchen and came back and it was gone. Maybe Steve has to update the time on the link thats all.

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Darn Live feed is down. Steve knows this is very importnat viewing time. Hopefully he will hit that reset or find someone who can and is willing too.

Highlight video from yesterday is here.
March 7 at NCTC

floralgirl said...

Well, I've tried everything, the feed must be down, real player says the link is outdated or innacurate. And of course, since it's Saturday, all bets are off about gatting the feed back up. I may have to fly to Denver...

glo said...

This was our sleep in in NCTC Lobby weekend. Rally the troops!!!

Donnie said...

That was wonderful Glo. Better then any movie I've seen this year so far. Thanks. I'll send that off to my busy sister, who has little time to watch the live cam all day.

glo said...

Oh no now the 30 sec delay cam is gone too. OK I am not sure how well I will handle this. I am so sorry for all of us actually. Hope upon hope.

glo said...

Great Donnie glad you liked it. I will do some very frequent videos for us now throughout the season, well as long as I have something to video that is. Enjoy and keep an eagle eye out for the cam.

floralgirl said...

well, my 30 sec cam is still working, but it's not updating properly again, and this is frustrating. Don't want to think we have to wait until Monday to have this resolved. Today'sw weather-
Widespread rain showers and scattered thunderstorms this morning...then widespread rain showers or snow showers this afternoon. Little or no snow accumulation. Highs in the mid 40s. North winds 5 to 10 mph...becoming west 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 50 mph late this afternoon. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent.

Donnie said...

Glo... I just played the audio clip you have on your page. All the cats ran out of the room and the dog stayed on the sofa but looked right at the speakers with her ears perked streight up. It was the funniest thing. LOL.. what fun.

Sunny said...

Good morning!~ I can get the 30-second pic, but not the live feed. How can this possibly happen THIS weekend?????

Donnie said...

It's raining on Belle right now. steady but light.

floralgirl said...

Well, we feel your pain, Sunny. LIve feed is apparently down.

glo said...

Thanks for the weathe Floralgirl I want sunshine!!!!

My 30 sec refresh is on again now. Hold on folks we might get our live feed back, ya just never know, Keep trying.

LOL Donnie I have 2 dogs. They are quite used to strange sounds coming from my computer but every now and then I can find one that will perk up their ears as well.
