egg turning BW

MITS said...

our eagle moved and put its tail fins down

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Our egg cup seems so much deeper this year, don't y'all think?

deb said...

They put up a picture of the eggs on the BWE site, "no clear sign of hatching."

MITS said...

half way to China, I suppose, Sharon

MITS said...

eagle at BWO

MITS said...

63° here now

MITS said...

eagle at BWO must be a nesting eagle, it is showing its brood patch

paula eagleholic said...

Good observation, Mits.

wvgal_dana said...

I agree worse things kids see on tv. Watching the banding wasn't going to scare kids..Who brought the rights to film it??

paula eagleholic said...

BWE really been checking...

wvgal_dana said...

Sharon I know our eagles sure used more fluff around them this year.

paula eagleholic said...

Sounds like NBC did, Dana.

wvgal_dana said...

I mentioned to Lisa about the white stuff near BW eagles head. She said but there was two eggs this morning. So that is right because it was mentioned yesterday about the white stuff. At the eagles head so it can't be egg shell.

Mema Jo said...

The BW egg will hatch around 3 pm.

Anyone want to bet on it?

Mema Jo said...

OK BBL (around 3 pm) :)

NillaWafer said...

Good beautiful sunny afternoon folks.. Tryed reading all the blogs but alot to remember... Well i can tell you talking with Dana yesterday while she was watching the eagle so close to her was a real treat.. She was breathless.. crying... excited and her words were amazing.. Both times she called me..lol But i told her i didnt think Lib was going for a geese way to heavy and to big for the nest...lol Sorry about your dads passing Bob... Watched Blackwater all day yesterday and was hoping for a baby today.. sure hope all is ok with those eggs.. Here tomorrow its calling for 2 inches of rain very heavy also.. But Belle looks like she has those eggs really deep in the nest bowl...Mits glad to hear your doing much better.. Jill im off til thursday maybe we should make atrip over to the nest?? Off to check e-mails.. BBL hugs, Nilla

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Nilla sure was glad you answered your phone yesterday. You know I was breathless..lol....I always thought the ocean each time I saw it was breath taking. I now have to say an eagle at that low height in the sky. I more breath taking.......awww my.

wvgal_dana said...

BWE checking agin come on out little chicky/eaglet.

wvgal_dana said...

bbl

NillaWafer said...

Dana i bet this beautiful sunny day you better get Ed in the car for aride..lol

Jill said...

NILLA-If you didn't get an email from me go back and check again.

Jill said...

THought you left Nilla. Wanna go today?

Jill said...

My BW camera seems to be stuck. NO movement on 3 refreshes. Hope it is just me.

Jill said...

OH good, she moved that time

NillaWafer said...

Sure Jill.. going to check mail... Around 2 ? Give me time to jump in shower...

paula eagleholic said...

BWE checking again

paula eagleholic said...

Jo - I went back and looked at your comments this morning.....sorry just didn't understand at the time what you were trying to say about the Tesoro banding...

I sent an email expressing disappointment in not being able to view the banding live...

paula eagleholic said...

Gotta go, BBL

Jill said...

Going to shower now Nilla, I will email my phone number

deb said...

I e-mailed my opinion, too, Paula. NBG is back up, but mine keeps starting and stopping, not sure how long it will last. There is one eagle at the nest.

deb said...

I wish I weren't half way across the country, I would go eagle watching, too.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks for sending the diplomatic email for all of us, Paula. It really was a disappointment and it was really disrespectful to all of us viewers & supporters of the cam not to have been informed that the cam would be down.

Mema Jo said...

BWO still has an eagle there.
Guess it could be dad - maybe he won't go home until he hears a chirp from the nest!

Mema Jo said...

I may have missed an egg roll at our nest. Eagle now facing noon position.

deb said...

He is waiting until 3 o'clock for the big event.

Mema Jo said...

I know I said it before BUT

BBL

Jill said...

That is the way she was last night. Up and down, new position. Only rolling once or twice while I was watching.

Jill said...

I don't watch Tesoro that much but thanks Paula. Don't they understand that is it people like us who support them and make donations to them to keep their cameras running? I hope NBC paid a lot for that footage cause Tesoro may need it if they made enough people mad.

Jill said...

Nilla and I are off in about 15 minutes. Hopefully find something to take pictures off. Somebody email me if BW hatches.

NillaWafer said...

Ok Jill and I are all showered n clean.. Just spoke with her and going to meet her in 15 minutes.. I have binoclulars ready.. Going in search of eagles..lol Going over to NCTC and go inside n watch the live cam.. maybe will will see Steven who knows.. Hmmm wonder if we should stop n buy fish sandwich...lol Jill will prolley have camera.. Wish us luck!!!! MTBR lator

paula eagleholic said...

Good luck, ladies!!

floralgirl said...

my cam pic is not updating correctly -it's updating every two or 3 minutes...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Steve thinks it has to do with the whole website being messed up for days, Megan.

KarenInCali said...

Haven't read all the comments and don't have time right now but "our" eagle seems to be standing over the eggs. Could one be getting ready to hatch or have begun?? Don't know, maybe it is hopefullness? LOL! Also, the eagle is looking down occassionally!

Mema Jo said...

Check out blackwater eagle lol

deb said...

Did I miss something? I am looking at it.

Mema Jo said...

BWE back to normal position.. Did look like he/she was standing on their head.....

Karen - too soon for our eggs to start hatching... Our cam isn't refreshing as fast as usual.. at least it is UP/RUNNING!

Mema Jo said...

Hey Deb - I sure did get your attention!!! lol
Didn't mean to do that to you!
I'll be more specific next time I holler............

Bob Quinn said...

I'm back from my meeting(s). Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts.

Sunny - I missed your question earlier on the best spots. If you check back in I'd say just about the whold drive can be good on different days. There's a parking lot near the beginning of the drive that is now closed because I think there are eagles nesting nearby but if you keep going past the lot to the right it brings you out on a small penisula where you may see some action. As you get further down the drive you'll see a park bench on the left. On Sunday just past the bench out in the water I saw some white pelicans. Also there is a stand of trees past the osprey cam platform that I have frequently seen eagles hidden in the branches. When you take a left on the last leg of the drive there are snags (dead trees) on either side that eagles like to hang out on. Lastly, there's a stand of trees across the water at the very end of the drive. If you're really lucky this is where you would see the golden eagle that frequents the refuge.

KarenInCali said...

Well, bummer days LOL! I could have sworn they said should hatch around Mar. 1st. That's what happens when you turn 50...you get sometimer's disease! Sometimes you remember and sometimes you don't! ACK!

MITS said...

70° here.

deb said...

Yes, Jo, you got my attention. I was searching for that chick. It is almost 3, if Helen is right, it's just about time.

MITS said...

eggs in view at BW

paula eagleholic said...

2 eggs at BWE- one has a very dark end

MITS said...

eagle back at BW

deb said...

There they are and back.

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY!!

I probably won't be on much today...possible car issues ... but I wanted to check in.

My little Dodge pocket rocket is celebrating 5 years of trouble-free operation today.

And, wouldn't you know it, when I decided to go to the market last night, it barely cranked over, barely started.

So, either I've got to get it a new battery for its birthday or get it charged up.

I haven't been driving it too much lately, especially in daylight, so it could be just run down.

Still no chick at BW, and no egg at Norfolk...... Maybe waiting is good for the soul.

Happy Monday, everybody...

Even happier Monday, I just noticed the word recognition is gone.

[:~)]

Jim

deb said...

Eagle in Lake Washington.

movin said...

I'm very sorry to hear about your Dad's passing on, Bob.

He had a long, productive life here, and now he has begun a better one with the Creator. [:~)]


Jim

floralgirl said...

BW eggs showing!!

movin said...

As for the ISO setting that went awry, Bob, I wonder if they have software for adapting a digital image to another ISO setting.

Do you know?

[:~)]

Jim

movin said...

Did either egg appear as though it was going to hatch, Megan??

[:~)]

Jim

floralgirl said...

Check your email, JIm.

Bob Quinn said...

Thanks Jim.

You can't adjust for the ISO after the fact but there are some things I can do in processing like use a "noise reduction" tool. Still won't be as good as if I had set it right though.

movin said...

[:~D]

I hear that, Bob... and sad to say, I've done similar stuff before............

Maybe you could do a "grainy day at Black Water" collection.. Sorry about the pun. LOL.

Jim

Jim

Sunny said...

Thanks for the info, Bob. I'll print it out and take it with me. Hopefully I'll see something exciting!

deb said...

Eagle at Kent 1.

floralgirl said...

Hey Jim, did you check your email??

Lolly said...

Eagle on Maine nest....calling.

deb said...

Isn't it a beautiful site and sound! I hope Jill and Nilla are having luck on their eagle journey.

Lolly said...

Yes it is! Especially with that blue background!

deb said...

Now both at Maine. Eagle is still at Kent 1.

deb said...

Eggs at the Maine last year were March 5 and 8. We are close to that now.

deb said...

Eagle moved to Kent 2!

deb said...

Back to Kent 1.

deb said...

Both eagles gone from Maine. The female tried out the egg cup.

carolinabeachmom said...

Hi everyone! I finally got in after being blocked from Saturday. I couldn't get our nest up or on the blog. See you are all still waiting to the a new chick at the BW nest. It was just waiting for me to get back on, :) Right! OK egg, start cracking open now. You can do it little chick.

deb said...

Our nest was down until this morning, Candy.

Lolly said...

Enjoyed the two at Maine. Also, first time to see the Eagle at Kent! Do hope they see an eagle on their outing. It is a thrill!

Maine eagle still calling!

deb said...

Kent is empty again.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Lady/Lord BW keeps looking underneath!

floralgirl said...

Hey Sharon, check out the email I just sent you.

Lolly said...

Looking down at eggs again at BW. I am sure she is as impatient as we are.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Megan, I sent you a reply back, I did look at it and I agree!

Back at Kent 2.

floralgirl said...

I didn't get your reply, Sharon... The pic beside my name is a pic of the eggs earlier, I believe there is a break in the egg on the left.

deb said...

Darn, I thought they were both at Kent for a second. Kent 1 must be ahead of Kent 2.

movin said...

Megan, I checked my momster's e-mail and two of my screens at AOL, but I was unable to find one from you..

Where did you send the pic of the BW eggs?

[:~)]

Jim

MITS said...

MEGAN, I'm still having problems with your e-mail, when I send you something it keeps bouncing back to me....am I on your spam list...lol:):):):)

deb said...

That forecast doesn't sound good at all.

floralgirl said...

to your yahoo email acct- Jim- my email address has changed too. Starts with a w now.

MITS said...

Jim, Lisa has a shot of the eggs from around 3 this afternoon on the BW site

floralgirl said...

Lisa's pic is earlier than the one I got at 15:33.

MITS said...

no Deb, windy and rain, not a good combo, but Belle and Lib are tough

deb said...

I wish the Kent eagle would bring in more sticks, instead of sitting there looking beautiful!

MITS said...

I can't get your pic to enlarge, Megan, but that could be a crack

MITS said...

oh my that is a pretty pose the eagle is doing at KENT

MITS said...

well darn KENT left...

deb said...

Gone, but last time it left it came back with sticks. Do it again, Star or Spirit.

movin said...

Thanks, Megan. Which of you addresses has a "w" at the beginning? The Yahoo?

[:~)]

Jim

floralgirl said...

Nt using my prodigy email address anymore, Jim.

movin said...

Mema Jo, remember "Let's split" from the 50's?? [:~D]

Jim

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Jim and Mits, I forwarded you both the picture from Megan. Jim, I sent it to your movinandgroovin one.

deb said...

The lady at the nest, says 3 trips bringing in sticks today. She is taking pictures at her house and will post them.

Sorry, forgot her name. :(

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

BW up again!

deb said...

Look at the goofy position our eagle is in.

deb said...

I knew that would happen, it stayed that way for a couple of refreshes. I will post in album when things calm down.

MITS said...

her name is Loraine, Deb with 1 R

deb said...

Eagle at LW, eating.

deb said...

Thanks, I was guessing Laura, but didn't think that was right.

MITS said...

eagle at LW

MITS said...

you had the L part:)

movin said...

Megan, I just checked, and I have your new address in my AOL book :~D. I don't know what happened at the momsters site email...sometimes there is a delay posting things. I'll check later.

Right now, I'd better sign off and take care of business.

[:~)]

Jim

deb said...

I put picture in album of funny wing position.

Mema Jo said...

I am just now returning.. Have to quickly read & catch up & eat dinner all at the same time.

Ho! Ho! Jim! I remember very well saying "Let's Split"

I see no hatching at BWE but I am anxious to read what went on at Kent...

deb said...

Both eagles in Maine.

deb said...

LOOK AT BWE!

paula eagleholic said...

WE HAVE A CHICK AT BWE!!!!

floralgirl said...

Yay, I knew that egg was broken!!!!

deb said...

My very first chick in an egg! It was about half out for those that missed it.

deb said...

What a wonderful afternoon! A chick and work at Kent!

paula eagleholic said...

Whooooo hoooo!!!!!!

MITS said...

BOOYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

floralgirl said...

What a beautiful sight that was:)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I thought "is that a chick or a leaf?" I saved the picture though.

MITS said...

CONGRATS BW!!!!!

MITS said...

EAGLE at BWO

deb said...

They posted a picture at Blackwater already. I hope Lisa saw and isn't at work or driving.

floralgirl said...

Waiting to see if the other parent shows up at BW to se the new baby.. Hope he brings a big fish.

MITS said...

Lisa has the pic on her site, looks like your pic Sharon

Jill said...

Great missed the hatching by a few minutes. But Nilla and I had a great day. Went to NCTC and my guard friend called back to the production building and Steve said come on back and watch the live feed. So we did. For 2 hours. Watched Belle turn the eggs and work on the fluff around her. Didn't see Liberty. But I got a video of the live feed. Not sure how well it will work but we will see. I will get it uploaded after I get back from dinner.

floralgirl said...

I'm pretty sure Lisa was at the refuge. I sent her an email a little earlier and she answered right away.

MITS said...

BWE tending to her chick and egg

paula eagleholic said...

Lisa has a pic up already!!!

See ya later - gotta hit Wally world, then I'll be home....


YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY

NatureNut said...

Have been watching this cam for a couple years & because I just saw the BW chick hatching, HAD to get in on the comments! I work in a Park & we have our 1st nesting eagles.

paula eagleholic said...

Deb - Lisa does the posting of those pics!!

paula eagleholic said...

That is awesome, naturenut....

gotta go!

later!!

deb said...

Welcome, naturenut. What park are you in?

Isn't it exciting! All the others have been fun, but this was special! I can't imagine what our nest will be like.

floralgirl said...

Welcome, naturenut :) who has the cigars??

deb said...

I wondered, thought maybe someone filled in while she was a work.

deb said...

Eagle in NBG nest. Have to feed dogs, bbl.

Lisa said...

Nobody does that website but me. They don't even know how to access the files. :-P

Well, the first big hurdle is over. We have a cute, fuzzy ball. Now we need to get dad in gear.

floralgirl said...

Exactly what I was thinking, Lisa. He needs to make a food delivery.

MITS said...

yes, DAD, get your rear in gear

Mema Jo said...

Blogger cops are out there waiting for you in cyberspace........
I almost did not get back......

Carol_in_WV said...

Congratulations! Lady and Lord Blackwater.

floralgirl said...

Hey JO, did you see the chick at BW?? Watch out is right, I just got thrown out of here mmoentarily also. I was lost in cyberspace...

Carol_in_WV said...

Welcome Naturenut. Where are you from?

deb said...

Me too, Jo, I just thought I had done something wrong. Then I couldn't get back to this page.

floralgirl said...

Well, hello Carol:)

MITS said...

that was a battle, but back in I think???? Hello, Nature Nut...love the name

MITS said...

LISA if you come back on, when will they be changing the time to faster updates at BW???

floralgirl said...

Both eagles at BW!!

MITS said...

both eagle at BW

Carol_in_WV said...

Hi, Megan. I checked BW before I left the office and saw that the chick had finally hatched. Exciting! Can't wait to see more pics of it. But - I need to leave now. Got a dog and 3 cats waiting for supper.

MITS said...

now just one, think the idiot dad brought food, but ate half of it before he got there...

floralgirl said...

Yeah, doesn't look like much of anything.

MITS said...

poor thing keeps looking around....

Lisa said...

We can't do faster than 30 seconds. That's the fastest our cams have ever gone.

If we do more than that, we'd have to shut down the other cam. Our satellite dish provider limits how much bandwidth traffic we send up to our web host, so we have to leave it at 30/60 seconds or we'll go over our limit. If we do that, they turn us off.

Mema Jo said...

Going in to watch Brian Williams
NBC 6:30 news

MITS said...

thanks, Lisa.....Jo, my NBC new doesn't come on til 7

Mema Jo said...

So far on NBC news it's just been political & war news.

MITS said...

it will probably be a 10 second blub at the end Jo....keep watching

floralgirl said...

What channel are you watching, JO?my NBC news comes on at 7 also.

Mema Jo said...

Same one Megan - Brian Williams
I am on channel 11 & it repeats on Channel 4 at 7:00

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Our eagle has its head tucked under the wing and the BW eagles real fun has just begun!

Mema Jo said...

I'm watching

I love not having

Word Verification Letters......

MITS said...

poor thing might have to eat the leftover egg shell

Mema Jo said...

Lisa should have both her chicks hatched before we start ours...

floralgirl said...

Give us the scoop, JO. How much $$ did they pay for the exclusive.. did Brian Williams climb up to the nest??ha..ha

floralgirl said...

I can't believe the make eagle did not bring any food this evening. Did anyone see him bring anything to the nest today?

MITS said...

zilch, Megan, except for what looks like leftover feathers.....

floralgirl said...

That's what I thought. He better bring a meal first thing tomorrrow.

Jill said...

There was some kind of food in the nest earlier. Looked like a little ground hog. It has been moved more to the right now.

Lisa said...

To be fair to the dad, it was a little late for hunting by the time the chick arrived.

Also, don't forget the eaglet has absorbed the egg yolk, so it isn't hungry right away.

But tomorrow is another story. :-)

floralgirl said...

alright, Lisa, I'll cut him some slack, was just thinking about the mom:)Where's Jo? I'm watching Brian williams, so far he's just depressing me. bring on the eagle story.

floralgirl said...

People on the Maine forum are saying no eagle story on NBC news tonite. Am I watching this for nothing??

MITS said...

Than I'm turning it to Wheel of Fortune......Lisa, know the chick is ok, just worried about Mom

floralgirl said...

ok, Mits I'll let you know what you're missing-they did a study that teenagers don't eat breakfast, but they should..earth shattering story here..

floralgirl said...

the stock market news is mixed...up..down.. and coming up, lack of sleep is bad for your health..wow, this is great stuff.

MITS said...

lol.....Megan...

Jill said...

Don't forget most adults don't eat breakfast either Megan.

Oh and how many times today have I seen the jet almost crashing????

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, here is what I am thinking. I need a laptop and my footpedal. Hopefully NCTC has wireless access. I could just go sit in front of the live feed all day and work too.

Jill said...

WE are tired alright Brian, tired of listening to him.

floralgirl said...

He is putting me to sleep,blah blah, blah.. and that was a really lame story on sleep. And they are not coming back with an eagle story.

Jill said...

The website doesn't say anything about eagles. NOTHING.

MITS said...

did you have fun today, Jill??

Jill said...

Yes. The live feed is wonderful.

Jill said...

HUMMMM That was a big fat waste of time. Unless they are going to be on Showbiz tonight.

floralgirl said...

OMG- no, I tolerated brian williams for nothing, but I can't tke this show, I don't think the eagle story is gonna be on this show unless they are headed to rehab or were in a high speed car chase.
