NillaWafer said...

Howdy Folks.. what a great day Jill and i had over at NCTC .. Like she said her friend( she flirts more tham me..lol) but he is an old friend of hers called Steven and he greeted us.. we watched the live feed for couple hours... Jill took some video hope she gets it on here soon.. Was waitng for Lib to fly in but the dinner belle rang at 5pm and no Lib...To see the live feed and hear it was great.. Just heard alot of wind today but Steven says when both eagles get together they yack n yack.. He also said NCTC has paid it share of expenses for the live feed just waiting on "The Friends Of NCTC" To pay their share.. I asked if they had enough money and he said yes and was going to call them tomorrow to see what the hold up was... We met another very nice man if i remember correct David Clinger he has something to do with articles... We even spoke with the cleaning lady..lol and invited her to the blog everyone was very nice... Oh some didnt know we named the eagles n laughed.. Just to see Belle in real time was wild... she got up several times n those eggs are really deep in the bowl and she kept pulling fluff around her maybe sensing the rainy weather soon....Thanks again to NCTC for the welcome and letting us watch the live feed... Sharon if Jill didnt need to fix dinner for hubby i would still be there..lol

NillaWafer said...

Conrats on the new arrival at Blackwater also... Geeez i watched all weekend waitng n it hatched out while we were at NCTC go figure...

NillaWafer said...

Hey i say of the live feed and sound isnt on by the time the 1st egg is gona hatch we all go to NCTC to watch..lol

NillaWafer said...

I can see the article now saying::: The ladies of the NCTC blog had a sleep over at NCTC listning an waiting on the 1st egg of the season to hatch... Sleeping bags and snacks and a lobby full of the sounds of eagle lovers waitng for the sound of peeping from the nest...LOL

Mema Jo said...

Sorry MEGAN! Nothing on NBC
Would be very reassuring if we could have some communication from
Lynda White and/or the Audubon of Florida as to what did go on today.
I would love to know the sex of the eaglets - let alone which one has
the transmitter...... you know, just the little things that might be on
our minds! It's not like we don't know them!!! :(

Jill said...

NILLA I can't get the stupid video to download. I have tried and tried. I have done it before and can't figure out what I am doing wrong. It is on the phone, I can watch it.

And I only flirt when it is absolutely necessary to get what I want. You would think after 40 years of seeing it he would be immune but.............

Mema Jo said...

Nilla - I guess when you saw the live feed it brought back memories of our first season! Glad you & Jill had a chance to go over.
I've been off line awhile - don't know if Dana went to MickeyDoos today or not....

Jill said...

We went to Micky D's too. Nothing there today.
Just geese

Jill said...

I don't think Dana was there today. They still had filet o fish sandwiches. LOL

NillaWafer said...

Jo... Jill and i went out to Mickey D's also and saw apond with ducks on it but NO sight of eagle.. So we headed over to NCTC... Hmmmm keep working on it Jill i have faith you can do it.... Jo wish you could have been along was just a bright sunny day and the sight of Belle was truely wonderful..I told Jill about our 1st trip over and your very first poop shoot Jo...lol

floralgirl said...

Not your fault, Jo:) I'm a little surprised that they have posted no info at the tesoro site. Hey, I bet if we tell them we're all coming to NCTC every day to watch the live feed, they'll get it hooked up quick...

Mema Jo said...

That sounds like a plan, Megan.


Paula had sent Lynda White and/or the FL Audubon an email - I wonder if any response ever came back.

Mema Jo said...

Well, I need to do an email...

BBL

NillaWafer said...

Megan the lobby has nice couch n chairs..lol lots of space for sleeping bags too... So get on the ball Friends of NCTC get the check in the mail!!! Get out the eagle cane...lol

floralgirl said...

Ok, Nilla, I'll bring the snacks and we'll camp out in the lobby.

floralgirl said...

Have you guys seen this site? It's supposed to have a live cam soon, it has nice pictures of birds-extreme birdfeeding

deb said...

Eagle at LW.

deb said...

Both there now.

deb said...

Here come the herons!

deb said...

Eagle flew into Kent with stick in mouth, now in Kent 2.

MITS said...

it sure is nice to see an eagle in the nest at KENT, Deb..

deb said...

I got a picture of it flying into Kent 1 with stick. I will send it a little while.

deb said...

Both!!

deb said...

Back to one.

deb said...

I will have to go and look at how to tell them apart. I have forgotten the spots on the head pointers.

MITS said...

our eagle just woke up....

paula eagleholic said...

Wow Nilla, sounds like you gals had a wonderful time. I vote for a sleepover in the lobby - I can do all weekend! Can I bring my dogs, too?

Don't know if I got anything back from Lynda or not, haven't checked email since I left work - I watched NBC news also. Zippo. I'll check out the today show in the morning. Has anyone tried local TV stations down there?

deb said...

Eagle in LW. You can just barely see it. It likes to do just at dark visits.

paula eagleholic said...

BW also has a new web log posted - don't know if you know that or not, I haven't read back on the blog except for this page...

paula eagleholic said...

Jill - get your kids to help you with that video - they can probably figure it out in a snap

paula eagleholic said...

Egg roll our nest

MITS said...

EAGLE awake at our nest and BW

MITS said...

a sleepover sounds like fun...will Megan bring the chocolate chips and Paula bring your puppies. A match made in heaven

paula eagleholic said...

So has anyone seen the little bobble head, except for its first appearance?

paula eagleholic said...

OUr eagle is awake and looking around

floralgirl said...

Ok, I'm in, I got a bag of chocolate chip cookies in the freezer..

paula eagleholic said...

Howdy Mits. Everyone else must be watching TV or something...

paula eagleholic said...

Ahh, there's Floralgirl. Howdy :)

MITS said...

I watched Little People, Big World from 8 til 9, it was the season premiere....now nothing really on, just watching eagles

floralgirl said...

Hello... just getting hubby some supper. Can't find much on tv myself.

paula eagleholic said...

No response yet from Lynda.

Jill said...

I was on the phone. Kid can't get the video downloaded either. I have done it before but I can't get it done now. Maybe tomorrow it will work better. At the very end of the video Nilla's hand is reaching in front of the tv. I said she was trying to grap an egg to take home. LOL

I have seen the BW baby since the first pic. Maybe tomorrow. I think they are supposed to have sun there in the morning.

paula eagleholic said...

Well, after spending much of the afternoon in email and domain name HE**, trying to fix things at work, I was just so happy to all of a sudden look up and see that baby eaglet hatching at BWE!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I have to pick the brat up from work at 10:15 or my butt would already be in the bed. I am in too. Can I bring my 4 dogs? Naw, they would drive everybody nuts, especially at 2 a.m. when they have to go out and potty! :) Buphals is the spokesperson for the other 2 boys. He makes it well known that it is time to go out.

paula eagleholic said...

Jill = can you email the video to anyone?

MITS said...

ya know, it is not like we are casual watchers at Tesoro, didn't we watch that whole saga last year, where they would not abandon the nest even after the eggs did not hatch, and the drama this year, where it looked like they were going to nest elsewhere, the list goes on....really disappointed in them

paula eagleholic said...

Like to my phone?

MITS said...

would't that be funny if we showed up with food, dogs and sleeping bags, there is plenty of room there:):):)......Sharon it is way past your bedtime

MITS said...

Jill said...

Paula right now I can't even get it off the card. I dont' get it. I have done it before.

paula eagleholic said...

Plenty of room in the Commons building too, but I don't know if they have the live feed in there or not? Maybe they could put us up in a couple of rooms, I heard they have it on the TV's in the rooms, or at least I think they did.

paula eagleholic said...

The BW eaglet hatching made up for missing out on Tesoro!

floralgirl said...

Don't they need people to watch the nest 24 hrs. a day? You know, to keep an eye on things.

MITS said...

good try, Megan..:)

paula eagleholic said...

We could do that, couldn't we :):)

paula eagleholic said...

BWE is sleeping. Is that Mom or Dad on the nest?

Mema Jo said...

Get the cookies out of the freezer!
I am ready for a late snack!!!

Jill said...

Paula check your mail

Jill said...

I think if we move the furniture into the elevator there would be enough room. Dogs could sleep in the hallway.

NillaWafer said...

Ok folks im heading out just wore out from all the eggcitment today.. And Jill i was not trying to steal and egg just pet Belle for being awonderful mom..lol Good heavens snack n dogs abunch of us ladies in fannel jammies what apicture for the local news paper ...lol Niters

floralgirl said...

Ok, Jo how many cookies shall I eat for you??

paula eagleholic said...

Gnite Nilla. Glad you had such a nice time...

Mema Jo said...

Five would be good! Thanks!

paula eagleholic said...

Jill - got the email...BBLIALW folks! Gonna try and do the video that Jill got.

NillaWafer said...

Oh my i cant leave now got to see if PAULA can get the vidoe on!!!! hurrayyyyyyyyyyy

floralgirl said...

Nite Nilla:) Ok, Jo, anything to help a buddy out..

Jill said...

Nilla remember what I said about the crazy ladies. Next time they may tie us to the chairs. LOL

NillaWafer said...

Hey Jill should have let the Nome visit the nest hmmm..lol

Jill said...

Don't lie you were trying to reach under her. LOL

Nilla ask me on the way out what Dave Clinger said his job was. I said he wrote for their publications. She said Oh goodie maybe he will write something about us. I said Oh yeah, two crazy ladies spent the day at NCTC watching the Belle sit in the nest and informing the staff about the eagles and their names etc. That would make one heck of a story. (Not to mention they would have our picture posted at the gaurd gate with a note saying Don't let them in)

Mema Jo said...

We can read Lisa's Eagle Blog update while we wait for Paula to come back!

Jill said...

HUMMMMM. Good idea Nilla. Guess I will have to track him down and take him for a ride. LOL

NillaWafer said...

OMG that would have been funny if we had one and out it by the tv screen n took apicture what ahoot..lol

NillaWafer said...

Hey Jill a new show is on TLC called The Secret life Of A Soccor mom..lol

MITS said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE

floralgirl said...

Good nite Helen

Mema Jo said...

Nite Mits
I'm not far behind...........

Jill said...

Been there done that Nilla. Don't need to relive the nightmares. LOL

Oh yeah, Norman flying with the eagles. LOL. See I told you if you hung out with us you would have fun.

Jill said...

I am already spoiled by live feed. I am looking at BW, thinking would you move so I can see the baby. DUH only moves every 30 seconds.

Jill said...

Paula must be having as much trouble as I was. Maybe Jim will have an idea if Paula doesn't get it.

wvgal_dana said...

I finally have a bit to pop in..haven't read all comments from this afternoon.

Hoping there was a hatch at BW

floralgirl said...

Yeah, Paula's been gone for almost 30 minutes, not that I'm counting or anything.

Jill said...

Yes Dana there is a bobble head at BW.

You should have come with Nilla and I this afternoon. We watched EagleTV. Was great. I am already spoiled by it.

Jill said...

I am going to lay down for a bit. Long exciting day.

paula eagleholic said...

YAY - I got it to play, but I need to re-record it, then I can upload to youtube...might be a little while....hang in there, I'll be back with an update shortly!

NatureNut said...

Dear Eagle Friends, Thx for the welcomes 4 hrs. ago! I have not been able to comment again as Google wouldn't accept my password. Don't know how the goofy thing works. Any tips?
I live in MD about 10 miles from DC and work part time at Patuxent River Park. We have our first viewable eagle nest now, but not close to Vis.Ctr. Should have our osprey cam running soon. :-)

NillaWafer said...

i am hangin Paula watching Discovery health n waiting patiently

paula eagleholic said...

OMG they said we had an intruder last week...they think it was a hawk, you guys forgot to tell us that

wvgal_dana said...

Hey there Nilla gal ( :

We had company from Wisconsin so I haven't been able to be on.

Does sound like there was a hatch at BW so so happy ( :

paula eagleholic said...

Naturenut - are you at Jug BAy? I went osprey banding there last year, and saw the cam on the osprey

wvgal_dana said...

Paula who said we had an intruder which was a hawk??

Jill said...

Was that on the video? I dont' remember. I remember the girl saying it but forgot I was recording. Paula how did you get it to play?

wvgal_dana said...

I'm in for a sleep over to watch the "live feed" hee hee When we going?????????????

Jill said...

One of the workers at NCTC told us that but I forgot the video was on. Guess it wasn't much, nobody else mentioned it.

deb said...

Nature, I remember I was frustrated at first, too. After you post for awhile, you get to quit logging in (at least I do). If you ever delete your cookies, then you start all over again. I haven't had the password problem you were having, so I can't give you any hints there.

NillaWafer said...

Ohhhhhh yes forgot about that... they said they relized something was going on by the sound of Belle & Lib squakkin on the tv... And think it was a hawk... Jill who told us that??

Jill said...

We could sneak back in tonight Dana. I think Nilla would still be there if I hadn't needed to leave.

Jill said...

I think it was the cleaning lady we talked to

NillaWafer said...

NATURENUT i just goto sign in... Put in e mail and password... try that.. works for me.. and Welcome

Jill said...

Nature, we have all had problems at one time or another Mine, like Debs, stays logged in unless I clear my cookies out. Then I have to sign in. Just make sure your password is something very very easy to remember.

paula eagleholic said...

Which is the first clip, the one with your hand Nilla, or not?

Jill said...

Remember the story of Randy, who comes in on weekends, just to check the eagles? I don't think the lady who told us that understands eaglemania. I mean really whats wrong with going to work on your day off to check on the eagles. Although I think it would be easier to watch the cam. LOL

NillaWafer said...

Oh Jill now ur sneakin in..lol Hey Jo she wanted to steal you some unbrellas too..lol and we a were not in that building..lol Hmmm and she sends people to jail for stealing....LMAOOOO

Jill said...

That was the second clip Paula

Jill said...

No I wanted to take all the umbrellas over to the nest and put them around Belle until the rain is over.

Then Jo can have them.

paula eagleholic said...

I finally got it to play on my quicktime player, then re-recorded it....it's pretty small but you can see Belle good. Just need an answer to that last question

paula eagleholic said...

Got it, thanks.

NillaWafer said...

i think that was the second vid Paula

Jill said...

Where is Norma? We won't see her til noon tomorrow if she tries to catch up on all this. LOL

Jill said...

BW is sleeping soundly tonight. No pacing like last night. She has been in the same position for a long itme now.

floralgirl said...

Ok, blogger is eating my posts- I'll check out video tomorrow; nite all, gotta get to bed. Behave yourselves:)

Jill said...

AWWWW Megan behaving is no fun. LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Ok, it is saving now...

paula eagleholic said...

I have to keep laughing at Floralgirl's "Ouch" comment at the top of this thread...

floralgirl said...

Hey, That split is no easy task- can be painful...

paula eagleholic said...

Naturenut - is the eagle's nest the one way up the river that Greg probably showed us last year?

Jill said...

NILLA We both have lost it. Your hand is in the first video. I just looked at them again on the phone. OOOPS. Oh well.

Jill said...

Thank you so much Paula. I tried in on my quicktime and still nothing. Glad you could figure it out.

NatureNut said...

Thx. I went into the account first, & it popped my user name in & stayed there! This might be 2 in a row.
To Paula--yes, I'm at Jug Bay on the PG County side. Have to get there bright and early before punch in to see if I can get more eagle pics---so am hitting the hay.
Good night to all, especially BW baby.

wvgal_dana said...

Read the rest of the comments.. all caught up now.

Contragulations to Lisa & BW eagles awwww "parents" ( :

NatureNut said...

Paula, This nest is close to the entrance road, up a creek. We think it is an expanded old osprey nest. I hope they're not too close to traffic. Can sometimes see top of mom's head. We assume she's on eggs

paula eagleholic said...

Oh well, Jill, It doesn't really matter!

Welcome naturenut! Glad to have you here!

wvgal_dana said...

Wow Jill and Nilla..If Liberty was away from the nest for 2 hours. He must have be doing some serious hunting.

NillaWafer said...

Well those unbrellas would be great for Belle because heavy rains tomorrow afternoon Lie'n Lou says... Even a thunderstorm in the forcast Hmmmm... Good night Naturenut... welcome aboard!! Paula you putting the link here?

wvgal_dana said...

Welcome Naturenut...

Do you would in the park? If so; doing what?

Jill said...

He was butchering one of those geese you saw him after. Can't take it back to the nest whole, no room LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, nature, I'm not sure if that's the one Greg showed us or not...I think it was closer to the old mansion/clubhouse kind of place...looking forward to your pictures!

paula eagleholic said...

Ok, Jill and Nilla - gonna email to you to first. If that works I can send it thru momsters email!

wvgal_dana said...

Right Jill true. Let me tell you though gal. Liberty was BIG compared to those big Canadian geese lol

wvgal_dana said...

Oh boy Oh boy Paula I'm jumping up and down here OH boy Oh boy can't wait to see ...

Jill said...

Does anyboyd know when the owls on the wildwatch cam will hatch? My cousin just started watching them and doesn't know when they are due.

Mema Jo said...

I will wait for the email & hope the video brings back beautiful memories of the Live Feed! And here's hoping it comes up soon!

Good Night Everyone
Peaceful sleep & Pleasant dreams
Prayers for all our needs


Last one out can leave Suzanne the good BWE news!

paula eagleholic said...

You can really hear the wind, too. Would have been really cool to hear Lib or Belle!

Jill said...

Thanks Paula. Remember folks, I was recording the tv image of the live feed. It is sooooo clear when watching it.

NillaWafer said...

Terrell said...

http://aloneonalimb.blogspot.com/2008/03/learning-in-great-outdoors-10.html

Jill said...

Thanks Jo. Not telling her about the Maine forum. Just giving her enough to get her interesting so she will join us. LOL She thinks we know everything about birds. (Donna don't you tell her any different.) LOL

paula eagleholic said...

That's OK Jill. Any live feed fix does it for me! and for everyone else, I imagine...

paula eagleholic said...

OK - I sent out thru momster mail...and uploaded to youtube for everyone else....will post link when ready....and put on eaglet momsters blog.

Jill said...

NILLA, That is no fun. Dang it.

paula eagleholic said...

Got some more emails to do, so gonna sign off for tonight...video is on youtube and EM blog....see ya'll in the a.m.!

Jill said...

You guys realize that by the time Steve gets here tomorrow there will probably be 600+ comments. Can you see the look on all the early bird's faces when they see that. They will think every egg in America has hatched in one day. LOL

paula eagleholic said...

No problem, Jill! Thanks to you two for going out there and for you taking it!

Gnite!

Jill said...

movin said...

Well... Haven't read all the comments, and I can't say I exactly comprende everything you be doin an sayin ...

But! It is clear we are all charged up about the BW chick pipping its way into this ole world!!

It couldn't have been very long after we were talking about the pics of Jill and Lisa .. both showing whole eggs.

**********

I told you the battery on my SRT-4 (which is 5-years-old today) barely cranked over last night...

Well, after charging it some last night (driving the long way to and from the market), it started easier this afternoon. But I decided to take it to Sears and have it checked anyway, and am I glad I did.

It did act like it was charging up and holding it more after the trip to Sears, but they put it on the tester for a couple of minutes, and it failed right at the end of the test ... probably would have died and stranded me somewhere soon.

Long story short ... they acted very professionally, I acted very cool and mentally competent, whipped out my Sears credit card, and I am now the proud owner of a DieHard battery with a 6 year warranty. The car starts like a brand new pocket rocket, and everyone involved is happy.

[:~)]

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Night and thanks again to you all for the video. Hugs and sweet dreams.

Jill said...

Egg hatched around 5pm.

Nilla and I got to see live feed,(see video link)

Think that covers all these comments Jim

The battery in my car was almost 7 years old when it died. In the police department parking lot. Alway great when a bunch of macho guys are looking at you and asking when the last time the battery was replaced was and you say Never? Hey it was doing just fine, not a peep til I parked it that day.

movin said...

Saw the video, and like someone on the clip said, "we can see there is such a thing as a live feed at Shepherdstown." Not much on viewing the eggs though....

Hahaha.

[:~)]

Jim

Jill said...

Well Belle wasn't very cooperative in showing us the eggs.

(real story-by the time I got the camera back on video she was done showing us the eggs. Her timing is really good. LOL)

Lolly said...

Loved the video. You guys had a fantastic day!

Jill said...

Yes Lolly we did. But we are spoiled now for live feed.

wvgal_dana said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Lolly said...

Understand that, but remember to appreciate the fact that you are so close to the nest and facilities!

I have seen eagles but only in Alaska and Oct. when we were in Maine.

Lolly said...

Nite! Hope to see some good pictures of the new baby tomorrow.

wvgal_dana said...

Night all

Good Morning Suzanne hatch at BW..I didn't get to see it. There is an email showing the chick coming out of the egg. Also wonderful video on here. Jill and Nilla at NCTC watching "live feed".

Jill said...

Good Morning Suzanne, 24 more comments to the next switch, think you can do it before Steve gets here? LOL

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE IN EAGLE LAND/GOOD MORNING TO SUZANNE AND THE EARLY BIRDERS.

BW Eagles produced their first chick late this afternoon, Suzanne. (:~D)

There are pics on their site and I think someone emailed some around.

No eggs at Norfolk yet, but they have been observed making whoopee several times lately.

Have fun, have a good Tuesday.

Jim

Suzanne said...

Good morning, world. OH THANK GOD!!! WE HAVE A CHICK!! I'm so glad Lady BW's first chick hatched yesterday, that's wonderful news! Had to open that cam right away to see what I could see, and lo and behold, Lisa has a chick being born sequence on there. Lovely! I was beginning to worry, chick HAD to hatch yesterday! Sure glad it did. Ok, our first local baby. How exciting!!! Oh, GONNA BE A GOOD DAY!!
Phew, catch my breath.....
Deep breath. Ok, ready now. Beautiful night out, 55° at my house, 57° here in VA!! At this hour! Hope it stays that way for a while, but this is March, so we'll see. Wow, our eagle is awake, got the glowing eyes going on. Looks long enough to be Belle, but Lib usually takes the night shift, but light is shining on tail, so can't really tell how long the tail is.
Had a baby opossum at the cat dishes this morning, and Norma, that puppy was all black. Even his toenails were black. He had a white "blaze" if that's what you call the mark on their snouts, but that was the only light color. Other than the pink hairless tail, of course, and I didn't see his belly. Bit too close for me. Anyway, turned the light on as usual, got the cat food for the dishes, and there he was. Still eating. So started to close the door and leave him for a few secs, let him go away, but here comes Kitty Tat for breakfast! Well now what? So nothing. What a surprise. Kitty Tat strolled over to one dish (I have 3 out), so I kept opening the door and talking to the cat, and the opossum kept eating! Doesn't he know they aren't supposed to like light and be afraid of humans???? This guy didn't. Finally walked out, talking to the cat, filled his one bowl, and the opossum went over behing a planter and started eating out of another bowl! Good grief. So went to the 2nd bowl and filled it, and the opossum finally took the hint and walked over by the side of the house where the birdseed it. Then I got to fill that bowl. I have Chef's Blend out in 2 bowls, and Purina Naturals in the 3rd. Seems first choice for the opossum was Chef's Blend, then he had to get his daily vitatmins, so he nibbled on the naturals. He didn't run, just sorta walked over there, and since Kitty Tat didn't bother him, I presume he went back to finish his rudly interrupted breakfast after I left. What a hoot! Just talking about those guys. But this was another small one, probably a teenager, about 8 or 9" long, not counting tail. I have a family that lives close and mom brings her babies to the buffet every year. Only saw her once, usually see the teenagers, and that's really not very often. Thankfully! They do give you a start at 1:45 in the morning. But I should have expected it, all bowls have been MT in the morning for about a week or so, so somthings been eating.
Well, now my heart has calmed down a bit, know we have a chick, Lady BW has her head down now, and has moved position, so guess she's getting chick comfy. Man, this is gonna be a good day.
All have a good eagle/panda day. Oh, she's scooting all over the place trying to get her and the chick comfy. Second one should hatch Wed or Thurs, cool, hopefully they will be very close in size that way.
Our eagle still awake and just kinda looking around. Has changed positions, but didn't turn eggs. I'm thinking that's Lib, now that I can see the whole body.
Ok, Have a great day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly! Mrs. BW has her head back under her wings. Nighty night, mommie!

Lib is turning eggs, I can see them peeking!!

Suzanne said...

Lib's a little fussbudget this morning, still turning those eggs! Guess he can't get them the exact way he wants them!

Suzanne said...

Lib got the eggs settled, put his head down to go back to sleep, and something woke him up. Head shot up and he's looking around.
They changed the viewing times on the PA cam, ugh! Least amount of time now for image changes is 6 seconds! That can be a long time with a lot of wildlife on cam. Used to have mine refresh every 2 seconds. Get used to it, I suppose.

Suzanne said...

Don't forget your daily clicks, the counts are going down lately. Both Lady BW and Lib are sleeping.

Suzanne said...

Both BW and our eagles are awake and looking around. Maybe switch and/or food time. Oh, have to read back, did Lord BW ever bring the Lady BW anything to eat yesterday? I don't see leftovers.
Oh, switch at BW, egg turning our nest! How cool! Ok, now Lady BW looks like is turning her egg, checking her chick. Was that the Lord BW on eggs this morning? This one sure looks bigger. Maybe. Sitting down on egg, now so can't really tell. don't know who was there and who is there now on BW. Our cam locked up, oh there it goes. Eagle back on eggs. Still think that one is Liberty, but again, wouldn't swear to it!

Suzanne said...

BW eagle is up trying to get chick and egg comfy. Haven't seen chick yet, I don't think. Well, yes I have, how cool is that!!! Chick was out a little from under eagle's chest. Sure glad it's not cold out this morning, it's actually very nice. Ok, now I'm excited!!! Eagle back down.

Good morning Suz. It was pretty exciting yesterday to see the new eaglet for the first time. I was trying to figure out if it was a leaf or a baby! :)

Suzanne said...

Both eagles are awake, and BW eagles is moving grasses up by chest. Our eagle just laying on eggs and looking around.

movin said...

Good morning, Suz... I slept well for a couple of hours, but now I'm up for the bathroom. So I decided to look in over here.

You seem wound up and charged up by the new chick and what else...

I've had occasion to see young possums being weaned and dropped off by Mama at the cat food dishes a couple of times. And the little boogers are pretty cute at that age.

Mama was BIG, but not HUGE, and fairly ugly by that time.

How's it going generally this fine morn, Suz? Bet you really miss the word thingy we had yesterday, don't you?

Suzanne said...

Morning, Sharon. Bet it was exciting! Got my first glimpse a little while ago, thrilling! Getting daylight out now, so should be easier to see.

Suzanne said...

OH EAGLE OFF CHICK AND EGG, JUST LEFT BW. 0622

Suzanne said...

How nice of them to show us the baby this morning!

movin said...

I think they might have switched at BWE, no adult in the pic, but I couldn't pick out the chick. I saw the egg, two pieces of shell, but not sure I saw the chick???

Jim

Suzanne said...

Hey, good morning, Jim! Yes, the opossums are kinda cute at that age, but they sure do lose it as they grow up! That was kinda cool this morning, but the little bugger didn't want to go away.

Did you just see the chick, shells, and egg at BW? Eagle left for 60 seconds!! Very nice of them to show us the baby so early!

Hope you can get back to sleep. After knowing we have a new baby, sleep would be about the LAST thing I'd be able to do right now!

Our eagle turning eggs again.

LOL, yup, sure do miss the word verification thingy!!! NOT!! But it seems to have worked, no more spammers...at least yet, anyway.

movin said...

I sent you a shot of the egg and chick...chick kinda blends in with the grass, but I could see it when I opened the shot I saved.

Jim

movin said...

It's getting light in the East...just opened Norfolk and the second eagle was just landing on the nest... both busy making it ready now.

[:~D]

Jim

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Jim. You can see it if you look closely! So nice of the eagle to get off and show the baby to us. Just brought NBG up in time to see an eagle on the branch fly off. Now they're looking for him. Oh, found him in the pine tree he likes to hide in. Jim, you can't go to bed now, too much going on out here!

Suzanne said...

They're both in the tree.

Suzanne said...

NBG mating in the pine tree!!!!! How cool was that!!!!
