GEESE ARE WHERE OSPREYS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE!!

paula eagleholic said...

I got it Mits...

Mema Jo said...

Sharon - it's the Osprey Nest Cam

Mema Jo said...

Anxious to see that one Paula

paula eagleholic said...

LOL - Belle dangles that fish over the chicks and they wake up to eat!

MITS said...

Was cool, wasn't it Paula?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Geula, there is your answer! :)

paula eagleholic said...

Was a nice fly in from the back by both, Belle first and then Lib with the fish

Mema Jo said...

HO! HO! I guess we SPLIT

Sneaked right up on us!

normabyrd said...

I think our EAGLETS get larger with each feeding! ho!

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding bigger bites now, too. We have 2 eaglets that are 2 weeks old! And tiny will be 2 weeks on Monday!

Mema Jo said...

Excuse me - Mits did alert us to the Split... Yeah!

MITS said...

they are getting plump:)

normabyrd said...

GEULA---They aren't there now!!---Almost always there in the am. & SUZANNE---says they are there all nights----check pics there!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like that fish is a goner!

paula eagleholic said...

Gosh they are so adorable the way they all 3 scoot up closer!

Mema Jo said...

I guess that was Lib calling for Belle to come on in.........

Lolly said...

Possible hatching at PH!

Mema Jo said...

Here comes another fish!

Living is good in the Nest!

Mema Jo said...

BWO has eagle on platform

Lolly said...

10 was out of the nest, looking down and I could see only one egg.

paula eagleholic said...

Back with another fish...flopping all over!

Mema Jo said...

I can see K10 wiggling into the egg cup. Anyone know if it is an egg or a chick?

Lolly said...

I saw only one egg, but no chick.

MITS said...

adult at BWE, no food

MITS said...

Adult gone at BWE

paula eagleholic said...

Darn, think I just lost that last fish drop...

Lolly said...

So, what did they say to each other? They were obviously conversing! lol

MITS said...

something like, go out and get more food

deb said...

I just got off the phone, I'll see if I can get it. I usually get lots of pixels when there is a fly in, so will see if it is clear.

Lolly said...

Spring is calling, heading to a nursery. BBL

Mema Jo said...

Just saw the oversized beach ball in the middle of Buta Buta's hammock!

Mema Jo said...

Su Lin at SD is rolling around with a ball & running after it. Must be play time for Pandas.

Mema Jo said...

DC Pandas are eating and napping

Back to the birds - I hear them
calling me......

Mema Jo said...

Is that a plane?

To darn low if it is!

Mema Jo said...

This sound is something else.

Don't you all hear wings flapping or
is it just the wind...........?

Mema Jo said...

Where did everyone go?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Jo, I just hear the wind.

Mema Jo said...

Just maybe it was an eagle's wings....

Time for a switch....

They are talking to one another...

Fish in the talon being dragged to the feeding table...

One Fly Out....

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Sharon......

BTW It is a done deal!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

COOL!

deb said...

I was getting the last fish delivery, it is loading now. I started it after Lib had arrived, too fuzzy before then.

Mema Jo said...

WELCOME TO A NEW MOMSTER

Beverly - mrswvblonde


She is related to Eagle Eyed Sharon!
We are really happy to have her in
our nest!

Mema Jo said...

I think the chick on the bottom of the bunch may want up!

MITS said...

yea, Bev is here, welcome Beverly;), is she going to post, Sharon, or be like my sister, and read.

MITS said...

Jo, smaller planes fly over all day, and at night you can hear the jets flying over.

deb said...

Welcome, Beverly. Hope you post!!

Off to do another load of laundry.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

She might post some but she probably won't take it to the extreme like I have! :)

Mema Jo said...

OK! BBL

Late last night I accidentally deleted one of my Bookmark Folders -
I need to get it back - it was all my quick links to the Bills I pay online

Need to recreate because I cannot locate it hiding anywhere It didn't go to my recycle bin - It just disappeared. Guess I an very thankful I already paid this month's bills.......

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Testing.

MITS said...

what are you testing, Sharon.....here comes another goose flyover

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Pecking Pearl just worked on and accomplished waking the other 2 up. Guess she needed to do some more pecking.

Mits, I was trying to get Beverly (Sissy) signed in.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Hello you all. I am not too cool with this stuff. Maybe I will get the hang of it eventually.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

i got in!! I am so excited! This only took me an hour. Jeez!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

YOU GO BEVERLY!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I mean - YOU GO SISSY!

MITS said...

WELCOME SISSY:)

Bob Quinn said...

An update from Lisa on the fish situation at BW:

I asked Bill Giese (our resident Blackwater expert at FWS) about the fish issue. Bill owns a farm on the Little Blackwater River and he's been with the FWS at the refuge forever, so I really trust him.

He said he believes there are plenty of gizzard shad and catfish for the birds, and he doesn't think that could be a factor in the light feeding we've seen on both cams.

He also said he thinks another osprey pair might take the platform since it's still early

MITS said...

Thanks, Bob:)

MITS said...

Well, I know they are being fed some food, but for the age they are at now, they are not active, like our eaglets, so I'm STILL concerned...JMHO!

MITS said...

Wind has really picked up, so hum is barely noticeable.

MITS said...

incoming!!!!

MITS said...

love it when those fish are flopping

Danelle said...

Mema jo-I tried the meal worms, and nobody would eat them. I must have some picky bluebirds!

Mema Jo said...

Taking a break from my bills
So glad I peeked in...

Welcome Sissy!

Danelle said...

Welcome Sissy!

Danelle said...

well, back to work. Talk to ya'll later!

Mema Jo said...

Danelle - you should be with Sandra now! Lucky you!

Hi Sandra!

MITS said...

HELLO SANDRA:)

Mema Jo said...

Danelle - maybe your bluebirds don't like the other birds around your home... like the house sparrows..

Mema Jo said...

Beverly - You may not want us to speak to you with the nickname
Sissy... Speak up & just let us know which one you prefer

Jill said...

If meal worms don't work try waxworms. They may prefer those.

I have been gone all day today again.

Remember that the Air Gaurd base is not too far from the nest so you may very well be hearing C-5 and C-130's coming in. And if you have never seen or heard one of them come in for a landing, trust me it is very loud.

Mema Jo said...

BBL Late Panda Nap

Hi Jill

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Beverly Welcome ( :
Bev I heard you are a GOOD cook....glad you decided to join in.

Today I seem to be doing things in the house and slipping in the watch the eagles.

MITS said...

The planes I hear during the day are of the single engine kind, and the ones at night are high overhead, no loud aircraft.

Danelle said...

Hi everyone! Just finished working with Sandy. She just showed me her index and middle finger moving today! How exciting! She wanted me to tell you all hello. Will see her again next Tues.

MITS said...

thanks for the wonderful update, Danelle

paula eagleholic said...

LOL Now that's what I call a screaming eagle!!

What is this, fish #5!!

glo said...

Incoming with a "fistfull " of something. Gonna make the other beg for a bit to see the latest prize LOL...its BIG

MITS said...

more food just drooped of NCTC NEST

MITS said...

poop shoot

paula eagleholic said...

TG got the computer back up before he came in....WOW what a poop shoot!

MITS said...

making room for the next meal;)

paula eagleholic said...

Welcome Beverly!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, so what is that conglomeration of stuff at 6:00 position??

MITS said...

its been there, but whatever was brought in last fly-in, he/she has been standing on it, looks like it has bones

MITS said...

not alot of action at BWE today,

deb said...

Its strange that they do the feedings so good for one day, then hardly anything the next.

MITS said...

hey DEB, the Wild Watch opsrey cam is back online;)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

It seems to me that she would be laying on them babies with that wind whipping like it is!

wvgal_dana said...

Aww stuffed bellies and naps...what's an eaglet suppose to do.....no more than that right now lol

paula eagleholic said...

Might still be part of that groundhog at the 6 position

MITS said...

it was 80° down the ocean today, lot of people on the boardwalk...shoulda gone down, but have a wedding to go to tomorrow, down in DC...

deb said...

I see it, Mits, there is an osprey there. I think there were two when I brought it up. I wish they would get LW back on!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, Becky, Mattie, Justin and I are going to see Thelma this weekend. Going to leave in a few minutes. No internet and no eaglets until tomorrow evening or Sunday. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

deb said...

It is still cold here, normal high in the 50's, right now 36. UGH, I want the warm weather.

Osprey left.

deb said...

Have fun, Sharon!

carolinabeachmom said...

Just got back from hoping to get a special hot dog and fries for a late lunch with my husband. Place closed. :( Guess I'll have to sit myself up in an eagle nest and eat some fish. :)

Lolly said...

Boy, you gotta be on the front row to get a meal around here. Who is that in back?

carolinabeachmom said...

As soon as I came in I checked in on PH nest and #10 was up. I could see two beautifully whole eagle eggs there still, so no baby chick yet.

Sounds like we have a lot of food missles coming into the nest while I have been gone. I see they are busy eating everything in sight again now.

MITS said...

have fun, Sharon

Lolly said...

Candy, I really do not think you would care for the decor of the nest dining room, nor the odor! lol

carolinabeachmom said...

SHARon, just enjoy yourselves and be safe. We'll all be here when you get back. Oh did I see where your sister is now a member of the Momster/Dadster club. Welcome aboard Bev, Beverly, or Sissy, whichever you prefer. Once you get talking on here, you won't be able to pull yourself away. We all got hooked at one time or another.

carolinabeachmom said...

LOLLY I was thinking about how that nest must smell before I left with all the bones, skin and leftovers all in it. On second thought, I think I'll go make something for myself. :) The birds can have the nest.

Lolly said...

Wise choice!! Just peeked in for a sec...been to the nursery...now back to the yard! bbl

carolinabeachmom said...

Maine nest finally has the sun out and snow stopped, but wind is whipping around pretty good.

DEB I do hope that the snow you are supposed to get passes to the north or south of you this weekend. Maybe if you do get it , it will be the last one for the winter.

paula eagleholic said...

Our eaglets are totally crashed!

carolinabeachmom said...

Hey MITS. Our temp on porch is only 78 so far. I think you live in the right place. Should have gone to walk the beach today, but didn't. Cooler here tomorrow supposedly.

carolinabeachmom said...

They are really zonked out PAULA. Must have really full timmies and are satisfied.

Anyone see any more feedings at the BWE site at all this afternoon? I was so hoping like all the rest of you that mom and dad would continue to bring in food once they got the hang of it yesterday.

paula eagleholic said...

What I want to know, is that a bird wing flapping in the breeze under Belle's talons?

MITS said...

I have not seen parent at BW since this a.m. and did not see food brought in, guess they are back to the once every 3 day schedule

paula eagleholic said...

Wind has quieted back down...

I did see feeding earlier today at BWE

paula eagleholic said...

Heading home...catch ya later!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Dana, you've got mail!

deb said...

Both eagles in Maine, eating something that is not a fish.

carolinabeachmom said...

Looks and sounds like parent wants off nest and is calling spouse to come and take over.

MITS said...

sounded like a defensive call

MITS said...

black bird at BWO

Unknown said...

You tell him Belle...."I never get to go anywhere!!!"...let him have it!!!

MITS said...

there is a song bird nearby that I think is irritating her

carolinabeachmom said...

She is still calling. Maybe there is something up in the tree or sky she doesn't like MITS> Babies are sleeping through it all.

carolinabeachmom said...

She should have taken her Panda Nap with JO while the chicklets were sleeping.

carolinabeachmom said...

MITS Could very well be the nearby song bird. It does sound pretty close.

MITS said...

think it might be above the nest, keeps looking up....could be their next dinner if it doesn't leave.

MITS said...

ah-oh, just took off

carolinabeachmom said...

Hopefully there is nothing up there now that she has left the nest open.

MITS said...

I don't hear the bird anymore

carolinabeachmom said...

Those poor little chicks would be blown away if they weren't hunkered down in that egg cup. The wind is really something.

carolinabeachmom said...

I don't either MITS. Maybe she chased it or maybe it will be their next dinner. :)

carolinabeachmom said...

MITS Was it you who was rooting for Xavier in basketball? Just curious. They are in the final 8 in the NCAA torunament.

carolinabeachmom said...

Another poop shoot. I really don't know how they miss the camera, do you? That was a lot for such a little chick! :)

MITS said...

yes, Candy, it was me...I now will root for Davidson tonight, one of my son's best friends went there, he is now a Doctor, a wonderful person, just love him

deb said...

I am off to Freeman, SD, to see the Sound of Music at the Schmeck Fest. (German food festival)

MITS said...

have a good time, DEB

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh DEB that should be a fun time. Enjoy yourself. Eat a few things for us and enjoy the Sound of Music.

carolinabeachmom said...

OK MITS, tonight is Davidson night. I still haven't seen who is playing yet. I used to go to a Dr. Davidson, but he'd be too old for your son to know him.

MITS said...

Davidson vs. Wisconsin, Stanford vs Texas, Villanova vs.Kansas and Michigan State vs. Memphis

MITS said...

Pearl shot another good one out of the nest

MITS said...

eagle back at our nest, quiet entry

paula eagleholic said...

Parent back

paula eagleholic said...

I think that is the stick with the leaves on it that she brought in yesterday at the top of the nest

carolinabeachmom said...

Egads, they eat more often than I do and I am alot bigger (fatter) than they are. How do they do it?

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh geez, there goes Pecking Pearl. She is really a stinker. I think they should let her eat first each time so she gets full and goes to sleep. Then the other two can get their share in peace.

paula eagleholic said...

And time to eat, of course!

carolinabeachmom said...

ISt looks like Little Bit is in the back this time.

paula eagleholic said...

#1 on the left
#2 on the right
#3 in the back

paula eagleholic said...

Tiny can shoot those suckers out of the nest now, too!

paula eagleholic said...

#2 generally has been doing the grab and duck, and avoiding the peck, put pecker got her this time.

carolinabeachmom said...

I wish that other chick would stop being so submissive and give her a good peck back just once. Poor Little Bit has a wait. Oh oh, here she goes, getting up on the side right next to Pecking Pearl. Go Little Bit and box her out. She looks like she just got pecked on the head. Come on Little bit and push your way up there.

paula eagleholic said...

Amazing what a difference one day makes!

carolinabeachmom said...

NOW PECKING PEARL IS IN THE BACK AND NUMBER 2 IS GETTING FED. :) cOME ON LITTLE BIT! It sounds like the other parent is above the nest somewhere.

paula eagleholic said...

Love the way the younger 2 squeezed out the biggie

paula eagleholic said...

Candy - those are the chicks making those whistling noises!

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh oh, here comes the big bottom down on the little chicks. I wonder if Pecking Pearl minds her manners under the parent. They look like they are starting to settle down gladly. Time will tell.

carolinabeachmom said...

I'm with you on that PAULA. Does me good. Maybe 2and 3 will start to work together at feeding time if they are smart. :)

carolinabeachmom said...

PAULA It looks like she is settling in for a loooong night. That is until the first head pops out form under. :)

paula eagleholic said...

Guess they're getting a little chilly...good Mama

carolinabeachmom said...

Now all we would hope for is a nice food drop at the BWE nest. We'll have to get Bob Quinn to go lay some more fish at the base of the tree.:)

carolinabeachmom said...

You are sooooo right PAULA. Our chicks have the best parents ever.

carolinabeachmom said...

I finally got NBG up; They need to fix the cam there. It looks like all you can see is the top of a white eagle head on the bottom right.

carolinabeachmom said...

Time out for a hamburger. BB

Mema Jo said...

Wildwatch Cam now has streaming for
heron & owl. Completely different sign on - you go through home page to reach all the different sites

http://wdfw.wa.gov/wildwatch/index.html

But still don't have CAM 3 at Kent & Lake Washington isn't current. I guess Chuck will get them all up/running soon.

Mema Jo said...

I am going to quickly scan the past 100 posts to see what all I may have missed.........

paula eagleholic said...

I see we have and escapee!

Mema Jo said...

Adult at BWE
Didn't see come in
Don't know if any food

paula eagleholic said...

Mom's up - chicks are too rowdy

Grabbing the fish from the front of the nest

paula eagleholic said...

Nope, it's a bird! Feathers are flying!

paula eagleholic said...

Well, could be a mammal, thought it was feathers, might be fur

paula eagleholic said...

Baby is getting stuffed to the gills!!

MITS said...

parent at BWE

MITS said...

can't see any new food brought in

Mema Jo said...

Paula Is that the youngest getting fed? I see now they are all awake & I guess the line up is
Oldest Middle Youngest

Mema Jo said...

Feed time over!

NatureNut said...

Gooood Evening Everyone!! Just got to see Bobbles since getting home from work. Happy to see that Tiny is really chowing down!
We're gonna do that too.

Mema Jo said...

Hi Mits

Looking over the afternoon emails..

MITS said...

hey Jo, just waiting for hubby to call and say he is on his way, so I can start dinner....everything is ready to go...just waiting;)

Mema Jo said...

Naturenut I guess you had a nice weather day out in the Park today.
We have pretty good winds and the temps are dropping.

Mema Jo said...

BWE is also covering the chicks.
Their weather says 5 mph winds at 59°

Mits - He'll be late if they are going against the wind!

MITS said...

he is in town, Jo, on his way now.

Mema Jo said...

No Wild Life in the PA woods yet
Sad to see Scarface leaving the cam - but sadder to see Pook needing not to
feed him. Has to be hard on her to make that decision........

Mema Jo said...

Turned on the SD Zoo to see
23: Gao Gao's bedroom
He's in there just munching away on his bamboo.......

MITS said...

I feel really sorry for Pook and Scarface.

Mema Jo said...

GET THE CANDLES LIT AND DINNER ON THE TABLE

MITS said...

geese flying over the nest

MITS said...

tee-hee, no candles and he is not thrilled with what we are having for dinner, salmon cakes, with cream of celery soup over top, rice and stewed tomatoes, didn't feel like going to store, because will not be fixing dinner this weekend. Wedding tomorrow and he is going to the Nationals home opener in their new stadium Sunday night

NatureNut said...

Hi Jo, I was not at Park today. Work 2 days at our Div. Exhibit Office. BUT, it is a farm that was purchased by Park & Planning.It's called Chelsea for an old, historic nearby mansion. We have acres of fields w/treeline, woodsy breaks and are in a big brick house w/magnolia trees and a pond in back! Beautiful and no public swarming around. Work 2 days at Park---going tomorrow when it will be really cold & windy!But maybe I'll see some eagle action.

Mema Jo said...

Naturenut-were the magnolia trees blooming? I know when we drove down towards Baltimore I saw some just starting to bloom.
The setting you were in the last 2 days must have been like heaven!!

Mema Jo said...

All is quiet at the nest
BWE is also with the youngins'

4 yr old Great Grandson just called to thank me for the Eagle Tattoos I had sent him.

I will be back later - need to recreate that bookmark I deleted!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

WOw, video finally done and uploading to youtube...can finally get back here to chat

PAULA You have mail.

MITS said...

just saw a barn owl poop shoot, funny to see them live, Jo.

NatureNut said...

Jo, I haven't seen ours start blooming yet, but some smaller pink ones in front of a development
are opening.Whats good about this place is we see deer, geese,hawks, etc. & foxes!!Last year was the first time we saw kits come out to play. I got pics last summer I might post, as they won't be around until May-June.

MITS said...

sounds wonderful, Nature:)

paula eagleholic said...

Video is finally ready at youtube....it's called

Fishy Friday!

MITS said...

my tulip magnolia has been blooming for a week, but I thought real magnolias came in May

SPLIT IS COMING UP SOON...

MITS said...
