heads bobbing in the nest.I have
a spotting scope and with it i
can them if they are moving around
or to watch mom & dad when they
are feeding them.
Dave
Dave, that will be so exciting for you! Then you can probably see them quite well when they get bigger, can't you? How cool to be so close!
Good morning all in eagle land! Slept in a little this morning, starting to work now.
It is not going to be much longer before Believe comes up out of that cup. He/she was trying hard yesterday.
Morning, Norma! Hope you had a good weekend.
Morning, Sharon.
MORNIN' BLUEFIELD SHARON!!---How was your EASTER DINNER---#6 CHILD!!----must ask--did you help with dishes?-----KIDDIN' ho!

I will post photos when i can.Our
DNR will make a flyover to check
most indiana eagles nests and i
hope to get some photos of the
nest from above. Well i have to
get to work so will check in later.
Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave
SUZANNE---I just 'GOOFED OFF' yesterday----doing nothing!---I thought #1 EAGLET was going to climb out yesterday!!---Reminds me of the EASTER CHICKS they used to sell-----
Our kids are alone. They're snuggling just like the BW twins!
I always COOKED the dinner---Since I was #1----I had so many responsibilities---I have read--#1 child is usually more intelligent!!!----ho!
Norma, PA turkey courting going on! The male got all puffy, and tail feathers came out, now he's following his pick. She's going off in the woods, and he's right behind her.
Never mind, now they're both puffing out.
Just saw Baby Littley moving underneath them. Was getting worried for a second.
awwww!----ADORABLE!----They pop up the min. the parent arrives to feed them!!!
SUZANNE---TURKEYS were there yesterday----We thought because of the temp.-- maybe---they had their holidays confused!!--
Baby Littley is right in front getting fed.
Osprey on BWO platform!
Really nice poop shoot just now.
SUZANNE---A couple of times---I have checked our FINN NEST!!---first time I saw those huge wings--I thought this is it!!---(advertisement)---fooled again!!
Good Morning all. I was getting a little nervous about the Lit-lun too. Littly knows just enough to worry me. Hi Dave, geula, Suzanne, Sharon, Norma, just about forgot my manner whle watching the little one. Have a great day. donna
SUZANNE----Check the CO OSPREY SITE!!!----ho!
Good Morning to all of you! I turned on live feed just in time for the wiggle down! Guess it will be another hour before they get fed - Spidey gave us a fit last evening! He finally moved then came back with his leg hanging down on the lens blocking our view.
Looks like somebody has found a comfy nest to take over for a while.
Norma, I check it every morning. So far, just Finney saying good-bye for the season.
BW chicks have been alone for a long time. One of them is laying on top of the other, and has her wings around him.
BOTH OUR NEST.
Morning, Mauley and Jo.
Norma, is that ducks back on that nest again? Seems to be a very popular nest with water fowl, everything but ospreys!
Did anybody else just lose their live feed?
MORNIN' MAULEY!---Don't worry---We did that last year---We all WORRIED that the #3 EAGLET would have 'learning problems'---- ho! He became everyone's FAVORITE!!----"SPUNKY"------HE WAS SO COOL!!----He had his own schedule!!----t
YEAH SUZANNE!!!----Yesterday when I checked them----it was a little darker----& I thought it was DUCKS!---Then thought I was "CRAZY"---HELEN filled me in!!-----I think that is so FUNNY!
Check out the Hilton Head osprey cam. Osprey on eggs is losing a feather! Wouldn't ya love to have that????
SHARON---Still have live feed!
SUZANNE----I would rather BE at HILTON HEAD!!!!!----ho!
I restarted real player and now it is coming up.
BC EAGLE---ON NEST IN SUNSHINE!!!
VA LADY looks so REGAL on the nest this morning!!--(prayer)
Lisa put up a new BWE Web Page. Always interesting & love the photos she inserts!
SUZANNE----She did that yesterday---Don't you bet MOM is on a limb near by!!!
The 'LITTLE PRINCE' is restless again this a.m.----Just walks around & around!!----May be he has 'SPRING FEVER'!!!----
PA FALCON site!!!----FALCON on 1 EGG---sun prevents seeing any more!----They have a different set- up there this spring!----BEAUTIFUL BIRDS!!!
Good morning to one and all!!
Ahhhh!! Spidey is gone. Had a wonderful view of the chicks under Momma last night. They were awake and peaking out. We were waiting for a delivery of food, as they had not eaten for a while. Then, along comes Spidey and ruined the rest of the evening. Bad Spidey!!
I can hear somebody peeping "Let Me Out Of Here"! lol
Morning, Friends!
Looks like feeding time!
Belle is watching something!
I thought there was going to be a fly in
GOOD MONDAY MORNING EVERYONE
Looks like the chicks hit the floor!
Fluff is really fluffed up!
Morning all.
The osprey at the CT cam are doing nestorations of a sort today--with mud and grass.
No wild life on the PA cam, but I'm sure to see turkeys at some point today.
Peregrine falcons are laying now--the ones in Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg all have eggs
Busy day ahead of me but I'll lurk and watch cams when I can.
off to read posts and check cams and e-mails...later
MORNIN' JO!---BET you had a WONDERFUL FUN DAY YESTERDAY!!----You are blessed with a large loving family!!!!
Looks like they have grown overnight again....think biggie is sitting on baby!
Awww, he just popped up
Morning all, I was just skimming through to see how the babies were doing. I have been in the hospital with my oldest all week. And just got home yesterday.
Tawnya - baby eaglets are doing well. Hope your oldest is improving!
MORNIN' LOLLY--PAULA---HELEN---& LYNNE!!!-----I think I need to stay up later in the evening!!---I AM NOT AFRAID OF SPIDERS!!---I never kill them!!!---(some times I swat the really big ones)
Good Monday Morning all. Thanks for the chuckle Norma I was wondering why we were so intelligent LOL.
I am ready for the audeo feed. Seems like a good time to tweak it now we have them all hatched and fledging is weeks away.
I hope that is still in the plans and not given up on. I love the videos and would love to hear it all the time. I shall Believe
Go Steve...go techies...we know you can do this.
She is. They diagnosed her with acute pancreatitis caused they believe by a virius. We just have to keep an eye on her for the next few weeks to make sure she doesn't get sick again.
Mornin Norma! Please stay up later! Especially if you have a good way to coax Spidey off the cam. lol
Tawnya - Happy you didn't skim right over us! Hope your oldest is improving - I'm sure the younger one(s) missed you being at home.
MORNIN' TAWNYA!---These EAGLETS have won the hearts of everyone!!-----AWESOME-----Wishing a speedy recovery for your son!!
LYNNE---I enjoy the PA FALCON site too!---I only saw one this a.m.---Sun was blinding this a.m.!!!
TAWNYA----Tell your daughter---SORRY---I referred to her as your son!!!---Will certainly keep HER in my thoughts & prayers!!!---
LYNNE---I haven't seen the Cleveland or Pittsburg site---The INDY SITE has 3 eggs yesterday!!
Thanks, I have been going through and trying to catch up. But with 2 kids it is hard.
Hannah is doing very well, she came home yesterday and went to play outside with her sister and then started fighting with her (just as if we were never gone) :)
Morning, everybody!
Kestral in nestbox in CO!
Just watched the Tesoro eaglets. One looked like it was on a trampoline bouncing high up off the nest. Cool! lol Going to read the paper!
MORNIN' GLO!!----Yesterday a.m. we were discussing the EAGLETS--#1--#2--#3!!---comparing the EAGLETS place in the family--in re: their actions!--moved over to discuss our place in our family--in re: our actions---!SHARON is he 'baby'--#6---it was a fun thing--PAULA--MIDDLE child & so on!!
good Morning all. Just a short note before I'm off to work. Brandon wanted to see the chicks before I took him to school. Have a beautiful day and smile no matter what. It helps.....
TAWNYA---The family that fights together ALWAYS STAYS TOGETHER!!

pecking time at our nest
ewwiieee at BWO
Awww, look at Mama Cali, chick is sitting in front of her, too cute!
my live feed is working awful this a.m.
Well, Helen, don't go to the 3 minute cam, you'll go crazy! Don't understand the problem, they have been working on it for quite a while, but it's been losing time between refreshes for over a month. I'm ready for the $#%&) 30 sec refresh to come back!!!
I still have to laugh at those head bobs and falls...look like those guys on Saturday Night Live...
Good morning, everyone. The sun is shining here today, YEA! I was getting tired of clouds. It is supposed to get up to 55 today.
wow, Deb that is a heat wave for you
We are in the time of year that you never know what will happen, 50's one day, 20's the next. The forecast can change frequently. They are talking snow for Wednesday night, I sure hope they are wrong.
Yesterday when company was here, we were trying to figure out what my neighbors were doing, so we were looking out the window. I flew to the door, yelling, "Did you see that?" I got that, "You are nuts" look. I explained that an eagle flew over, still got the you are nuts look.
Osprey at BWO.
Lisa's update from yesterday at BWO
Nest Update
03/23/08:
Despite the fact we've seen two ospreys at the nest, we're a little confused as to why they're not nest building.
In fact, they're even letting eagles visit their nest, which means they're not defending their home.
Looks like lunchtime...Belle is preparing the fish :)
I wondered about that, maybe the osprey we saw are just passing through and aren't the nesting pair.
MORNIN' DEB!!----I feel your pain!!---Daughter needed to borrow my car---Came for keys!!---Was watching--EAGLETS!!---Ask if she
wanted to look---Glanced at at screen---"That's nice Mom!!---
Just as I put up the 23rd news, Lisa just put up this info for the 24th
Cam pic has finally improved...not the garish whiteout....must be all warmed up for the day!
Norma sounds like my hubby
GOOD MORNING TO EVERYONE!!
We are in Colby, Kansas. It is a beautiful morning. We ran into snow in Denver, not much...just enough to scare me. Hoping we don't get detoured by the floods here in the Midwest.
Saw a pair of eagles flying above a canyon a few days ago. A really beautiful sight.
What have you named the babies?
Hello again, everybody. I saw Lisa's comment about the Ospreys and had to laugh. That nest is a little bit more than a fixer-upper! That's a whole new rennovation. Maybe the osprey don't want to build from the ground up. Poor guys!
SUZANNE!---HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY HOME ON THE BEAUTIFUL MORNING!!---LOVE TO GYPSY & HOUSE MATES!!---
SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!
Hey Wanda and Gene, good to hear from you:)
SUZANNE---I mentioned that to LISA way back!!----She said the OSPREY would fix it if they wished to nest there!!------Maybe we can send the DUCKS from CO!!
GOOD MORNING SUZ..
Have you had your coffee yet? Oh, Gene just reminded me of the time difference...you are near ready to go home. Sure have missed you.
Have not named them yet, Wanda
Miss Norma, how have you been?
Mits, how are you feeling now...still a little sore I guess.
Deb, we are not too far from you. How is your weather today?
Hey Wanda!!! So good to hear from you two! Hope you're enjoying your trip. And yes, had coffee and got rid of it, so ready to go shortly! I have some pics for you, or will by the time you get back. We have 3 healthy (hopefully) babies!
Thanks, Wanda, 7 weeks tomorrow, the soreness will go away the next few months...I hope:)
HELLO--HELLO WANDA & GENE!!---WOW! Sounds as if you are having fun!!----Don't worry about the roads WANDA!!---You have a GOOD DRIVER!!-----Taking pics---I hope!!---REALLY MISS YOU FOLKS!!----TAKE CARE!!!
Still is still morning..So good Morning by eagle friends.
See chicks are being fed. Sun shining on them...( :
Need to read comments.
Lots of activity with falcons and osprey too, Wanda....when will you be home??
Hi, Wanda, I hope you miss all the flooding, too. Stay safe.
What do you ladies think of the new cam? I haven't been able to see it. All the puters that I have been on do not have Real Player. Really anxious to see that!
Well HELLO Wanda & Gene nice to hear from you two again. Hope you are enjoying yourselves a lot. Wanda you are definately missed around here lady.
Wanda, we are going to get to 55 today, 50's tomorrow, then back to winter on Wednesday.
We'll be doing a poll on the 3 chicks names. Hoping your back in time which I'm sure you should be...
Good Morning Dana...
In answer to your question of the other day; We have had Crab Legs twice and some yesterday for Easter Dinner. Yuuuummm!
WANDA & GENE----You have made our day!!!---Check in any time you can!!---
Wanda and Gene, you guys be careful and have a good time! I don't have RealPlayer either, so can't view the live feed. Bummer.
Hope you miss all the flooding!! Keep your eyes peeled for more eagles, bet that was just cool to see! Be glad when you get back, won't have to talk to myself in the morning!!!
Have a wonderful time.
Safe Travels, Wanda and Gene!
Happy Easter!
That said, time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle/panda day. Wanda, so glad to hear from you!
Eyes to the sky, see the raptor's fly!
See you tomorrow hopefully for me earlier Suzanne. ( :
We will get home around the middle of next week. Depends on how my Mom is doing. Karla and Denise have been visiting her and taking her out to dinner...they say she is doing well. She can't hear very well on the phone, so I don't get to talk to her very much, but I do miss her so much.
our eagle is looking around, maybe a fresh supply of food is coming.
that was going to be my next question, Wanda, how was your Mom doing, Karla has been on the blog a couple of times.
Paula, I think you called one of the babies "scrappy". Sounds like a good name from his actions. Gene likes "Prince" and "Peace"...
Got to get back on the road.
Love to you all.
Wanda & Gene
safe travels, Gene abd Wanda:)
Safe travels Wanda and Gene see you soon ( :
Ekkkk at BWO
Sorry I missed Wanda and the Captain!

Family Day
This annual Easter Monday family day includes Easter egg hunts, animal demonstrations, hands-on activities, and special performances -- such as African drumming, gospel music, and storytelling. Sponsored by Friends of the National Zoo (FONZ).
Could have worked today, but did not want my 1st day back to be so hectic.
SORRY--SORRY HELEN!!---I just got a glance on CNN!!----
Paula are you here?
no problems, Norma, CNN should be reporting it by its correct name, but I'm not surprised if they are not.
need to pay bills!!
Geeeesh finally I am so thinking it is tiny's turn. I personally don't care what the names are we are getting to know the personalities pretty well.
Good afternoon ya'll! I came into work at 8 and am now just getting on. Did everyone have a good Easter weekend?
it was wonderful, Danelle, how was yours??
BEST SHOT YET!!! AWESOME!
looks like another egg in the owl hotel, cam 1
Mine was very nice. My parents came down to spend the day with my husband and I. Very peaceful.
well, time to get back to work. TTYL.
Something flying around at the nest...could see it pass under the nest on the left
Back, Dana - but have to go run some work errands...
Paula you have mail
Okay, does anybody have any idea what that is they brought into this nest. It is big whatever it is. Kind of looks like some kind of bird to me.
Just got back and see that Sharon...that would be my guess
Looking back, she grabbed it big time as soon as he landed with it
She sure did Paula. It doesn't really look like a duck. I was thinking that lovely hawk that has been hanging out but I honestly can't tell.
SNOWING IN BLUEFIELD!! ARGGHHH! It is supposed to be spring!
Well it's time for me to head for
home,and i will check on the eagles
here as soon as i get home and
let every one now they are when i
get back here tomarrow.I hope
that everyone has a great afternoon
and evening.
See-YA
Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave
Looks like a head on the left and feet on the right...still looking back at the tape...she took off a couple of minutes after he dropped it off
When she cam back, she landed by the new food drop, then went to the back and dug something old up...they still have quite a stash back there...
Although, it kinda looks like Lib on the back now...
Just returned from running errands. Checking all cams. Anyone know anything about the LW cam being frozen on a week ago and the heron cams as well!
And, what is it on the front of the nest?
Lolly, I am thinking it is a large bird of some kind but not sure.
Dana - you have mail
Have seen a bite or two taken from it....moving it now...let's see if we pluck feathers....
Chickie trying to escape out of the bowl...
Ohhhhh looks like feisty is coming out of the nest and trying really hard... What is that she is plucking?? Hope its not some farmers chicken...lol Look at that lil chit trying its best to come help moma... Opps Howdy Ya'lll hope you had awonderful Easter!!

Those chicks are very interested in what eagle is working on!

Yesss thats what i thought i saw too if not very close to escapin..lol Oh look at Irish Shamrock haha my we should call her Spicy...

I think Belle and Lib need to build up those sides to keep those frisky babes in the nest.. Oh they are sleepy now...
Worked on preparing it a little bit...now chicks have sort of dozed back off...parent sitting on right side of nest...
It did look like a bird at first...now it does look like a big gmish-gmosh!
I was certain---when I posted last----One of the EAGLETS had worked it's way out from under BELLE--Could see half of him/her!!---It was so cute!!---been straighting up house & just check in to see EAGLETS!!!
I brought up the 30 sec cam in color and still cant tell waht it is.. maybe its better we cant...lol They are eating again... Mom gave up on pluckin that dead animal and feeding fish now.. Howdyyyyy Norma!!!!

Oh, it is sooo cute with the eaglets sitting in view!
Both eagles at nest in Maine!
Hello, I'm a teacher in Illinois. I am enjoying watching this nest, as are my students. We are wondering where the eagles are located? Also, does anyone know when the "eagle nest updates" will be updated? Thanks!
Whoops! One just flew away. It is such a pretty site with the blue water! And those eagles! Wow!
Lolly yes it is beautiful with that eagle on the branch in Maine ( :
Well Steven wrote back and said "It's a ground hog, not much left of it." So that is the brown thing in the nest.
Angie, if you go to the homepage there is a loacation to click on and you will find a map.
Well, back to my latest project of sewing some curtains for my grandsons! bbl
Hello Angie. The nest is located in Sheperdstown WVA....pretty much if you follow this bolg you will see most updates thru our conversations
Welcome Angie and her students watching the NCTC eagles and eaglets... Like Mits said its located in Shepherdstown WV at the National Conservation Traing Center.. Which is a beautiful place.. The nest is located in a big Sycamore tree 90 ft up.. This si the 4thyear for this nest Steven said.. Stevn is our main man at NCTC... Mosy of us here on blog have been watching the nest for 3 years now.. Last year 2007 we suffered heartbreak as she lost her 3 eggs to ice and snow.. In 2006 this pair raised 3 eagles and all fledged and they remain dear in our hearts.. Now after waiitng WE have these 3 beautiful eaglets to watch grow and thrive and fly off to soar this land of ours the USA... Liberty and Belle are great parents as you will see.. So glad you joined us..
