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.......
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
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.
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.
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!
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. :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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........
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
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.
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!!
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.

I got it Mits...
Sharon - it's the Osprey Nest Cam
http://birdcam.xcelenergy.com/
index.html
Anxious to see that one Paula
LOL - Belle dangles that fish over the chicks and they wake up to eat!
Was cool, wasn't it Paula?
Geula, there is your answer! :)
Was a nice fly in from the back by both, Belle first and then Lib with the fish
HO! HO! I guess we SPLIT
Sneaked right up on us!
I think our EAGLETS get larger with each feeding! ho!
Feeding bigger bites now, too. We have 2 eaglets that are 2 weeks old! And tiny will be 2 weeks on Monday!
Excuse me - Mits did alert us to the Split... Yeah!
they are getting plump:)
GEULA---They aren't there now!!---Almost always there in the am. & SUZANNE---says they are there all nights----check pics there!!!
Looks like that fish is a goner!
Gosh they are so adorable the way they all 3 scoot up closer!
I guess that was Lib calling for Belle to come on in.........
Possible hatching at PH!
Here comes another fish!
Living is good in the Nest!
BWO has eagle on platform
10 was out of the nest, looking down and I could see only one egg.
Back with another fish...flopping all over!
I can see K10 wiggling into the egg cup. Anyone know if it is an egg or a chick?
I saw only one egg, but no chick.
adult at BWE, no food
Adult gone at BWE
Darn, think I just lost that last fish drop...
So, what did they say to each other? They were obviously conversing! lol
something like, go out and get more food
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.
Spring is calling, heading to a nursery. BBL
Just saw the oversized beach ball in the middle of Buta Buta's hammock!
Su Lin at SD is rolling around with a ball & running after it. Must be play time for Pandas.
DC Pandas are eating and napping
Back to the birds - I hear them
calling me......
Is that a plane?
To darn low if it is!
This sound is something else.
Don't you all hear wings flapping or
is it just the wind...........?
Where did everyone go?
Jo, I just hear the wind.
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....
Thanks Sharon......
BTW It is a done deal!
COOL!
I was getting the last fish delivery, it is loading now. I started it after Lib had arrived, too fuzzy before then.
WELCOME TO A NEW MOMSTER
Beverly - mrswvblonde
She is related to Eagle Eyed Sharon!
We are really happy to have her in
our nest!
I think the chick on the bottom of the bunch may want up!
yea, Bev is here, welcome Beverly;), is she going to post, Sharon, or be like my sister, and read.
Jo, smaller planes fly over all day, and at night you can hear the jets flying over.
Welcome, Beverly. Hope you post!!
Off to do another load of laundry.
She might post some but she probably won't take it to the extreme like I have! :)
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.......
Testing.
what are you testing, Sharon.....here comes another goose flyover
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.
Hello you all. I am not too cool with this stuff. Maybe I will get the hang of it eventually.
i got in!! I am so excited! This only took me an hour. Jeez!
YOU GO BEVERLY!!!
I mean - YOU GO SISSY!
WELCOME SISSY:)
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
Thanks, Bob:)
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!
Wind has really picked up, so hum is barely noticeable.
incoming!!!!
love it when those fish are flopping
Mema jo-I tried the meal worms, and nobody would eat them. I must have some picky bluebirds!
Taking a break from my bills
So glad I peeked in...
Welcome Sissy!
Welcome Sissy!
well, back to work. Talk to ya'll later!
Danelle - you should be with Sandra now! Lucky you!
Hi Sandra!
HELLO SANDRA:)
Danelle - maybe your bluebirds don't like the other birds around your home... like the house sparrows..
Beverly - You may not want us to speak to you with the nickname
Sissy... Speak up & just let us know which one you prefer
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.
BBL Late Panda Nap
Hi Jill
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.
The planes I hear during the day are of the single engine kind, and the ones at night are high overhead, no loud aircraft.
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.
thanks for the wonderful update, Danelle
LOL Now that's what I call a screaming eagle!!
What is this, fish #5!!
Incoming with a "fistfull " of something. Gonna make the other beg for a bit to see the latest prize LOL...its BIG
more food just drooped of NCTC NEST
poop shoot
TG got the computer back up before he came in....WOW what a poop shoot!
making room for the next meal;)
Welcome Beverly!
Okay, so what is that conglomeration of stuff at 6:00 position??
its been there, but whatever was brought in last fly-in, he/she has been standing on it, looks like it has bones
not alot of action at BWE today,
Its strange that they do the feedings so good for one day, then hardly anything the next.
hey DEB, the Wild Watch opsrey cam is back online;)
It seems to me that she would be laying on them babies with that wind whipping like it is!
Aww stuffed bellies and naps...what's an eaglet suppose to do.....no more than that right now lol
Might still be part of that groundhog at the 6 position
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...
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!
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!
It is still cold here, normal high in the 50's, right now 36. UGH, I want the warm weather.
Osprey left.
Have fun, Sharon!
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. :)
Boy, you gotta be on the front row to get a meal around here. Who is that in back?
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.
have fun, Sharon
Candy, I really do not think you would care for the decor of the nest dining room, nor the odor! lol
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.
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.
Wise choice!! Just peeked in for a sec...been to the nursery...now back to the yard! bbl
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.
Our eaglets are totally crashed!
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.
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.
What I want to know, is that a bird wing flapping in the breeze under Belle's talons?
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
Wind has quieted back down...
I did see feeding earlier today at BWE
Heading home...catch ya later!
Dana, you've got mail!
Both eagles in Maine, eating something that is not a fish.
Looks and sounds like parent wants off nest and is calling spouse to come and take over.
sounded like a defensive call
black bird at BWO
You tell him Belle...."I never get to go anywhere!!!"...let him have it!!!
there is a song bird nearby that I think is irritating her
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.
She should have taken her Panda Nap with JO while the chicklets were sleeping.
MITS Could very well be the nearby song bird. It does sound pretty close.
think it might be above the nest, keeps looking up....could be their next dinner if it doesn't leave.
ah-oh, just took off
Hopefully there is nothing up there now that she has left the nest open.
I don't hear the bird anymore
Those poor little chicks would be blown away if they weren't hunkered down in that egg cup. The wind is really something.
I don't either MITS. Maybe she chased it or maybe it will be their next dinner. :)
MITS Was it you who was rooting for Xavier in basketball? Just curious. They are in the final 8 in the NCAA torunament.
Another poop shoot. I really don't know how they miss the camera, do you? That was a lot for such a little chick! :)
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
I am off to Freeman, SD, to see the Sound of Music at the Schmeck Fest. (German food festival)
have a good time, DEB
Oh DEB that should be a fun time. Enjoy yourself. Eat a few things for us and enjoy the Sound of Music.
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.
Davidson vs. Wisconsin, Stanford vs Texas, Villanova vs.Kansas and Michigan State vs. Memphis
Pearl shot another good one out of the nest
eagle back at our nest, quiet entry
Parent back
I think that is the stick with the leaves on it that she brought in yesterday at the top of the nest
Egads, they eat more often than I do and I am alot bigger (fatter) than they are. How do they do it?
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.
And time to eat, of course!
ISt looks like Little Bit is in the back this time.
#1 on the left
#2 on the right
#3 in the back
Tiny can shoot those suckers out of the nest now, too!
#2 generally has been doing the grab and duck, and avoiding the peck, put pecker got her this time.
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.
Amazing what a difference one day makes!
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.
Love the way the younger 2 squeezed out the biggie
Candy - those are the chicks making those whistling noises!
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.
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. :)
PAULA It looks like she is settling in for a loooong night. That is until the first head pops out form under. :)
Guess they're getting a little chilly...good Mama
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.:)
You are sooooo right PAULA. Our chicks have the best parents ever.
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.
Time out for a hamburger. BB
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.
I am going to quickly scan the past 100 posts to see what all I may have missed.........
I see we have and escapee!
Adult at BWE
Didn't see come in
Don't know if any food
Mom's up - chicks are too rowdy
Grabbing the fish from the front of the nest
Nope, it's a bird! Feathers are flying!
Well, could be a mammal, thought it was feathers, might be fur
Baby is getting stuffed to the gills!!
parent at BWE
can't see any new food brought in
Paula Is that the youngest getting fed? I see now they are all awake & I guess the line up is
Oldest Middle Youngest
Feed time over!
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.
Hi Mits
Looking over the afternoon emails..
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;)
Naturenut I guess you had a nice weather day out in the Park today.
We have pretty good winds and the temps are dropping.
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!
he is in town, Jo, on his way now.
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........
Turned on the SD Zoo to see
23: Gao Gao's bedroom
He's in there just munching away on his bamboo.......
I feel really sorry for Pook and Scarface.
GET THE CANDLES LIT AND DINNER ON THE TABLE
geese flying over the nest
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
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.
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!!
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!!!!
WOw, video finally done and uploading to youtube...can finally get back here to chat
PAULA You have mail.
just saw a barn owl poop shoot, funny to see them live, Jo.
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.
sounds wonderful, Nature:)
Video is finally ready at youtube....it's called
Fishy Friday!
my tulip magnolia has been blooming for a week, but I thought real magnolias came in May
SPLIT IS COMING UP SOON...
Our eagle is awake
doesn't it ever stop snowing in OREGON?
dogs must be out for their nightly walk
