Whoa - am I first? If so - first time ever!

Carol_in_WV said...

It's so good to hear our babes again!

Carol_in_WV said...

One of the sleeping chicks just spread its wing over the others. It's amazing how long its wing is! Boy - they grow fast. Not surprising tho, considering how much and often they eat!

deb said...

Eagle at BWO.

deb said...

Thanks, Carol for the new thread notice!

MITS said...

HELLO, CAROL, sorry you were talking to yourself, everyone is on their way, I'm sure, see Deb here:)

paula eagleholic said...

Here's some videos from IWS

Well - I just happened to log on and saw there was a new thread and logged onto it. After a while I figured that you guys were chatting away on the old one and didn't know about the new one.

Egg Moving

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Carol congtrs for being 1st ( :

Hi everyone coming over....( :

Carol isn't sound just wonderful hee hee

MITS said...

love the egg movement...would like a pair of the lavender-colored gloves:)

Carol_in_WV said...

I had no idea the chicks peep in the egg! Maybe that's why the parents look closely at the eggs right before they hatch. I wonder how soon before they hatch they start peeping. Just think - nobody (or very few) knew the things we are learning before these webcams. I'm sure that even scientists are learning new things from the cams.

Carol_in_WV said...

Yeah - Dana - has anyone recently said "I love live video with audio!" ILLVWA!

paula eagleholic said...

I can get ya a pair of those, Mits. They are standard issue on Frederick County Ambulances...I thought they were pretty cool when I first saw them too.

wvgal_dana said...

I see I think it is Tess up on the top of the nest tree lol Oro is really flapping those wings. I'll have to read back after fixing dinner to see if there has been a fledge.

Mema Jo said...

Good to see Carol and all her followers over here!

The videos are really good.
Keep bringing them over as I never did download neokast

MITS said...

kewl, Paula....

MITS said...

looks like Humpback Harry at BWO

wvgal_dana said...

Carol I do so love your picture

wvgal_dana said...

Back down the eaglet landed in the nest at Tesoro.

MITS said...

check the radar and there is rain in the area around the nest. tenting going on

wvgal_dana said...

Got to fix dinner bbl

Those videos were AWESOME

Lolly said...

Guess it is raining! We just had hail and sirens for a tornado warning. All has passed us now.:)

Carol_in_WV said...

Thanks for the photo comments. It is a close-up of an eaglet. I can't remember where I got it. I had it as my desktop photo for a while. It's a little scary when it is that big.

Lolly said...

Such a good momma taking care of her babies!

floralgirl said...

Yeah, not a downpour, but a steady rain. Doesn't look like it will last long.

paula eagleholic said...

Big tenting going on in our nest

Carol_in_WV said...

Our parents take such good care of their little family! One of them is doing a major mantling right now. Beautiful!!

Carol_in_WV said...

Do the terms "tenting" and "mantling" mean the same?

paula eagleholic said...

Someone last year called them "mumbrellas" :)

paula eagleholic said...

No Carol, What you see now is tenting.

Mantling does look very similar, but occurs when food is brought into the nest and the eagle "mantles" over it, to claim it and protect it as theirs.

paula eagleholic said...

Watch out for the blogger cop!!

MITS said...

usually tenting is for weather protection, mantling means, stay away from my food, but guess you can use both terms for protection and not sharing food

MITS said...

looks like a hood ornament

Carol_in_WV said...

Paula - thanks for the clarification. It makes sense.

floralgirl said...

That is a great shot, I'd take a pic if I could open the 30 sec. cam page.

Carol_in_WV said...

Thanks, Mits, too.

MITS said...

showers just about out of the area.

Carol_in_WV said...

She looks like an angel!

MITS said...

yeah, Megan, we never did get a response to our inquiries about that situation

MITS said...

MT nest at BWO

Carol_in_WV said...

She'd stay there for hours if she had to. I love these creatures!

paula eagleholic said...

Parent was just at BWE

paula eagleholic said...

Think the kids are having a party under there...

paula eagleholic said...

Heading home, cu later!!

Carol_in_WV said...

Me too - later...

NatureNut said...

Nuts!! Didn't know there was another thread. Was busy attaching more pics for another set here. It's called "Other Fishermen". LOL

Gotta go to kitchen/dinner duty BBL

Mema Jo said...

Peek a Boo!

deb said...

The way 26 was staring at those eggs, I thought for sure one was hatching, but she just rolled both of them.

floralgirl said...

Belle flew out of the nest-

floralgirl said...

Ow- tiny got a peck to the head and I heard it-everyone is flattened except the queen bee of course-

floralgirl said...

Oh, #1 is being so aggressive- pecking and pushing around the others.

floralgirl said...

Maybe Belle told them to behave-all are laying flat now.

Lolly said...

Feeding at BW.

deb said...

Feeding at BWE.

Mema Jo said...

Deb - the chick inside the egg was
saying Roll Me Over Please.......

wvgal_dana said...

I can't stay but I had to tell you all this. In our newspaper today there was an article about a woman swerved to miss a squirrel. She hit a car head on. Out of the 4 people 3 were taken to hospital with non -life threatening injuries. It is the last paragraph that got me here it is:
Accourding to police, the squirrel that caused the accident later attemped to cross US 40 again and was eventually struck by a vehicle. Are you ready for the last line???
It was pronounced deeased at the scene, police said.

wvgal_dana said...

deceased

deb said...

Then he said, LET ME OUT!

deb said...

No leftovers at BWE, must have been another tiny fish.

MITS said...

DANA, you need to send that to Jay Leno for his Headlines

MITS said...

maybe they are on the WEIGHT WATCHERS EAGLE diet

deb said...

Parent back at BWE, 10 flew in PH.

MITS said...

both our nest

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle back and feeding...looks like the older two are full, and tiny is getting fed

floralgirl said...

Cool, both adults our nest.

paula eagleholic said...

And Mom just arrived too

MITS said...

poor middy is afraid to come up

paula eagleholic said...

Sorry, that looks like Lib that came in second

MITS said...

they work well together

paula eagleholic said...

Everyone is getting fed now

Mema Jo said...

Full House! Good Food & lots of it!

floralgirl said...

my dog says he could do without the sound, but that sures makes this cam even greater. What a wonderful sight to watch. These 3 are really thriving.

MITS said...

love it when everyone is in the nest

MITS said...

Belle looks like he needs a day at the eagle spa

MITS said...

what the heck is she looking for?

Mema Jo said...

Must be getting new flooring just like Candy did! lol

MITS said...

that's she not he.

paula eagleholic said...

And that's not she that's he. Belle on the right now, Lib on the left

wvgal_dana said...

Stopped back by for a second. On the Tesoro if you stare ate the picture. There is a rainbow starting at the right edge of nest upward. Pretty bbl

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is settling the chicks in, Lib is cleaning up nestovers

wvgal_dana said...

That would make a pretty picture if I knew how to take a picture from wmp but I don't. Ok bbl

paula eagleholic said...

I see it Dana - Thank you!

Mema Jo said...

Belle is going to suffocate those babies as she tries to keep them dry.

paula eagleholic said...

Rainbow looks prettier now....I'll send you a pic, Dana.

Mema Jo said...

BBL this evening

MITS said...

that was pretty at Tesoro, love rainbows

wvgal_dana said...

Hi everyone I'm back for awhile

Oh I'll have to check mail ( :

deb said...

There are two osprey in the Wildwatch nest.

wvgal_dana said...

At Tesoro the one in the nest is Tess they just move in close and I got to see the antenna.

Mema Jo said...

4:00pm this afternoon NO hatching on the CO eagle's nest. You can see all 3 eggs.

wvgal_dana said...

I do too Mits...after a rain I am always going outside and looking for a rainbow. One time I seen a double rainbow that was something. Have you ever seen a double?

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - just sent the mail!

paula eagleholic said...

Belle up and shaking off the wet

Mema Jo said...

I've seen a double & it just takes your breath away.

wvgal_dana said...

There has been an ant traveling around on the Tesoro cam at times today. lol

paula eagleholic said...

tenting again

Mema Jo said...

I wish they could clean off the screen at the osprey nest on WildWatch.

The geese are still on the CO nest(looking at the daily pics)

Mema Jo said...

One little squirrel on PA wild life

NatureNut said...

Jo, Last couple times I saw WildWatch osprey cam, it had tiny notice saying "that was probably food debris on lens & not much action can be taken until young fledge."!!!! Maybe they'll get a good rain!

Mema Jo said...

Even though it is raining (drizzling) it is 50° at the nest.

MITS said...

yes, Dana several times, one was the night before my son and d-i-l got married as we were coming out of the chapel after rehearsal

Mema Jo said...

The notice on the WildWatch Osprey cam has been there since day 1. I
don't think that anyone off season is around to get up there & clean it. Maybe a good rain will do it!

Tomorrow is April Fool's Day

Don't let anyone get you!!!

MITS said...

Nature that sign has been there since last year. Ya think they would have cleand the screen before this season

Mema Jo said...

Deer in the rain in the woods in PA

Mema Jo said...

Make that 2 deers

Make that 3 deers

Any more come on and we'll make it
a herd of deers.......

Mema Jo said...

I think the one deer is our "bum leg" one.. And now there is a whole herd.....

glo said...

It only took me 2 hours to find this new thread. I am doing good.

Awww poor Belle looks so wet. I am glad it is warm there. Maybe it feels kind of like a warm bath to wash off any misdirected poop shoots.

Jill said...

Well it took all day but I finally got the live feed up. Now if this will post on the first try I will be very happy

Mema Jo said...

Did you capture that misdirected shoot from the little one..? Didn't that happen once before at the Hancock nest?

Mema Jo said...

So glad you are HAPPY Jill!
Welcome!

armkar1 said...

Hi all just checked in after a long day of working outside since we have some sun for once! lol Anyway i see that your sound is back and of course it's my luck that it's nite nite time. That's okay though just glad to be able to hear again.
Have to go cook dinner now, check back a little later. Oh by the way the maine nest looks very nice. Dad did some heavy duty work on it, looks nice and pretty! Also it's empty! beginning to think that nothing is going to happen there. I hope I'm wrong.
Catch you later,
Karen in WA

paula eagleholic said...

Short Take Videos are ready from Today! All videos are 1 minute or so, except one that is 2 minutes!

Eaglet Momsters Blog

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Jo, you will like the Oopsie Poopsie video. I did a ROFLMAO at work when I saw it.

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Karen ( : glad you stopped back in.

We are very happy we have sound too.

wvgal_dana said...

bbiaw

floralgirl said...

Thanks, Paula, I laughed hard at under the fluff and that poop shoot is just hilarious!

Mema Jo said...

They are the same two clips that I had to ROFLMBO watching them!
Thanks Paula!

Mema Jo said...

I see a little one on the left side wiggling around.

paula eagleholic said...

You have got to watch this video from Trish of the Puleston Cam

Hilarious fish fight

wvgal_dana said...

Megan and Jo those are the two I cracked up over too lmbo

wvgal_dana said...

OMGoodness lmbo you have to get Lisa to see that one Paula lol lol

Mauley said...

HOPE this posts. Blogger cop has been after me all afternoon and I just lurked. Paula loved the clips thanks so much. Mits will you get Glo's wet noodle and get after the cop. Thanks for letting me know that tiny got fed. Sweet dreams of eagles and eaglets, dear ones. donna

floralgirl said...

Oh, that is so funny Paula:)

MITS said...

eagle KENT 1

Mema Jo said...

Well! I bet she told him at least a dozen times to Let Go! Thank you Paula for bringing that one over...
Oh My! That would win a prize!

MITS said...

that was funny, and I loved opsie-poopsie

Mema Jo said...

Raccoons are on parade at the PA
wild life cam

paula eagleholic said...

Still no chick yet at PH...

MITS said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE April 1st tomorrow....WATCH OUT!!

wvgal_dana said...

I see some wiggles in front of Belle or Lib hee hee

KarenInCali said...

Evening, all :-) I see the egg at PH has not yet hatched. Thought I had seen dad moving some eggshell but then I witnessed the changing of the guard and both eggs were quite visible :-( so I guess I was wrong about the eggshell.

Paula...your videos are great as usual :-) Oopsie Poopsie cracked me up! LOL!

wvgal_dana said...

My Dad and My Sister where born on April 1st truly

MITS said...

Well that was nice thing to happen on April 1st, Dana

wvgal_dana said...

I've always wondered what Dad's responce was when they said, "the baby is coming" and it is April 1st. But then he was born on April 1st so I guess he didn't think they were kidding.

wvgal_dana said...

I think the osprey dragging the other osprey with the fish is the "funniest one"...I like the other also.

wvgal_dana said...

Still 2 eggs at PH/SC 26 just got up turned eggs and is settling back down on them.

deb said...

Eagle was at Kent 2, now in Kent 1.

wvgal_dana said...

I'm going to say good nite all. See you all tomorrow ... sleep well.

Mema Jo said...

Good Night Everyone!
Peace to You & Yours
PRAYERS FOR ALL

deb said...

Belle is up, kids keep waking her.

I just watched your videos, Paula, great job. I loved the fluff one. Thanks for the osprey one, too, how funny!

deb said...

Kent eagle is barely visible in the fog.

deb said...

Night all, TTUT

paula eagleholic said...

Good night, eagle friends!

Lolly said...

Surprised to see Belle up! What's up?

Lolly said...

Belle was doing a little nestoration and now she is alert and looking around.

Lolly said...

Looks like she is going to settle down. Wind is really blowing and saw the kids stir a little.

Suzanne said...

Morning, world. Fog, rain and sprtzers, but wet. Wind is blowing a bit too. Not so cold out though, 53° in PA, 52° in VA.
Both Belle and Lady BW are on the side of their chicks, chicks are getting too big to be under mom now. Too cute.
See we have another thread, have to go see what I missed. I do see the ospreys had 3 in the nest together, yesterday. Here we go again. Maybe they'll just decide to get along from the first and let it go at that. Worked for the eagles in Catalina Island, so who knows? In any case, I hope whichever ospreys decide to settle there have a successful year! We do not want a repeat of last year!!
All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Suzanne said...

Belle just woke up, she's just standing there looking around. Babies still sound asleep.

movin said...

A quick "good morning/good night" to you Suzanne.

Early Monday morning, shortly after I booted up, my XP Pro crashed totally for the first time in the 3.5 yrs. I've had this computer!

Long story short, Windows is restored, but I lost essentially all my files, and I'm not even half way to reloading the essentials. And I'm getting tired now. [:~)]

Have a great day ... just heard Belle making sounds and looked. She might be looking for an intruder again.

Jim

Suzanne said...

Good morning, Jim. Sleep well. Sorry your computer crashed, that's never a good thing. Hope you can get all your files, software, and favorites back! Back ups are wonderful things, and sometimes you really need them.
Belle is now sleeping, head under wing. Lady BW is awake and looking around.
ME is MT, and I lost NBG a little while ago. I can get it till about 5 or 5:30, then lose it, so usually just close it for the day. Someone was in the nest, though. Oh, it just came back. How cool!
Think we lost the 3 osprey eggs at Hilton Head. Guy on their blog said as of the 31st, neither parent was interested in actually sitting on the eggs. Both just standing on side of nest and looking at them. He also said it was quite cold there, so I'm thinking the eggs are no longer viable. That's a shame, would have been a really neat nest to watch osprey babies!
Pleasant dreams, Jim. Gotta get on other computer for a bit.

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning Suz. Starting to work now! Belle slept for at least a little while during the night with the babies laying beside her. That was about 2:30 this morning. Dogs had to go out so I was checking things out.

floralgirl said...

Breakfast time, tiny is right up front:)

Suzanne said...

Morning, new eagle dad Dave, and Sharon and Megan.
Dave, can't wait to see your aerial pics! That will be so cool!
Sharon, Belle didn't get much sleep after I logged on. She was mostly awake, but did get a couple naps.
Think they all got something to eat for breakfast this morning. The little 'un was right up front.

BW kids are BOTH getting fed this morning. One moved over to the other side of mom, so all she had to do was move her head right to left. She just now took off. Very quick feeding, tho.

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD EAGLE MORNING TO JIM, DAVE, SUZANNE AND MEGAN!!!! I am excited as I came into school and got right on the blog. Wonders will never ceast.

I see our nest is settled down and sleeping. Moma just left the BW nest. Haven't looked anyplace else this am yet. No time.

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MORNING ALSO TO SHARON.

DAVE Glad to hear your nest is still doing well. Can't wait for the flyover to see how many little chicks you have in your nest.

SUZANNE, sorry to hear we may have lost the Hilton Head ospry eggs. Parents.

It is sprinkling here today AGAIN today and cloudy out, but not as cold.

glo said...

Good morning everyone. I am up early today with a bad headache so this won't be a day like yesterday at all. I am glad to read that Breakfast has een served to all though. That is always GREAT news. Gonna fix smething to eat and medicate this head with something strong I have to go in to owrk tonight.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Candy! Glad you could get on the blog. And I guess, welcome back to the grind! Those Mondays roll around very fast, don't they???
Our kids had breakfast this morning, as did the BW chicks. BW's breakfast was kinda quick though, but at least they both got something to eat!
If I don't get to talk to you, have a great day.

carolinabeachmom said...

Glad to hear that our favorite eaglets got fed already this am; Little Bit too.

It sounds as if you have the sound up again. Do you? I'll have to hurry home tonight and get on. I was just too tired last night, but I did read the days blog.

Suzanne said...

Yeah, Candy, that would have been a cool site to watch the babies! Awesome cam view.
Morning, Glo. Sorry to hear you have a horrible headache. Hope you're feeling better real soon!

carolinabeachmom said...

Well People are starting to come in, so I had better hide this for now. Maybe I can get back on after school while I am waiting to go.

Thanks for saying HI to the class DEB, but I couldn't get the blog up yesterday, but we were watching pics.

You all have a good eagle/osprey/panda/kestral/falcon watching day. Lucky ducks. BBL
