Steven thanks for the new thread not sure we will fill this one way up there.

glo said...

Hi Dana Yep disappointed BUT hopeful. I am glad to see the 30 sec cam at least. And right now I don't see tenting so guess things are OK at the nest.

normabyrd said...

Has anyone noticed two 'white small "bird head like" animal or bird peering out on our left side of NORFOLK NEST?----OR AM I NUTS???

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DANA!!---When I first logged on this a.m.----several people were on----but no live feed & also we were lost in that splitting blog, etc.---Also this is a good day to "stay under the covers"!

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR FRIEND FROM ACROSS THE SEAS, GEULA!! [:~D]

Jim

movin said...

Norma, small birds and squirrels often use the lower deck in large nests for their own nests.

I see what you're talking about at Norfolk, but everything is blowing wildly at the moment... I think one of them looks like the skinny squirrel.

[:~)]

Jim

IrisF said...

Hi Norma, it's not sunny, but it is bright out! Just 66 degrees which the natives consider chilly!

My friend says it is 45 degrees in PA. That's not too bad for March.

Hope the Live Cam gets back up!

How come I have to sign in again:?

Good rainy morning to you Jo. I'll try to call up some warmer air from the Outer Banks to ward off that snow/sleet. Maybe Iris could send us up from Florida> We just have tokeep those eggs warm. It didn't say not to much accumulation, so that sounds good.

normabyrd said...

carolinabeachmom said...

MITS said...

lol, loved the Midnight Snack video, Paula....

carolinabeachmom said...

Loved your video too GLO. It brought tears of joy to my eyes, being able to see our wonderful bird in action. Just beautiful.

carolinabeachmom said...

Did I read that Jim's hummer out there is starting another nest already? Boy they sure don't waste any time if that is correct.

floralgirl said...

Wasn't that the coolest? I was watching last night when that happened. So cool when you can see their every move. It was like she tiptoed away from the eggs for a minute to grab a bite to eat. And that fish didn't last long!

MITS said...

glad to see she is eating.....

carolinabeachmom said...

To me, these videos are like poetry in motion. Beautiful, beautiful!

carolinabeachmom said...

Well it looks like we are getting ready to head out here, so guess I had better get myself moving. It would be nice to check back in later and see that Guela had a chick presented to her for her birthday. Keep your eyes peeled and have a good day. BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Morning again!

Steve now has a link on the eaglecam page for the live video. I know it's down now, but just thought I would bring it to everyone's attention.

floralgirl said...

thanks:), now if only I could make it work...sigh...

paula eagleholic said...

Hey - we still have the 30 second cam...at least we have something!! Do I prefer the live feed? Of course! But, I am thankful we can still see them...

IrisF said...

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GUELA!!!! and many MORE!!!

Thanks for the Videos Glo and Paula!

Hello again to everyone, have a great day!

NatureNut said...

Tried to write myself an email to post pictures, but after trying to insert 1st pic, did not see it on window. In fact writing window was totally covered. Duh?! Will try later. Gotta do some chores sometime :-)

MITS said...

paula eagleholic said...

Well, I did record the fish drop from Liberty yesterday!

Food Drop

floralgirl said...

We're out of the rain for the moment ,and the sun is trying to peek thru the clouds.

paula eagleholic said...

That hummer sure is an egg-laying machine!

MITS said...

that is all that hummer does, drop eggs....:)

MITS said...

floralgirl said...

Whole flock of turkeys on the PA cam right now.

paula eagleholic said...

Has anyone been watching the CC1 cam, either late last nite or early this morning? There is only one chick in the nest..and some people are worried that one could have been blown out in the high winds, and not have fledged...

stellaintennessee said...

MITS said...

Stella, live feed is not working.

MITS said...

and the blog isn't working right either..

movin said...

Has anyone else had troubles with the blog??

Earlier I refreshed it, and it just sat there and spun it's reload wheels...tried some tricks, didn't help.

Finally, I took a short nap...

Woke up and the blog is working fine!!?? ...and so am I.

[:~)]

Jim

MITS said...

maybe Goggle did not pay its bills.

movin said...

Yes, Stella, I just tried to open the live feed, and it looked like it would work, but in the end it couldn't locate the necessary files.....

No live feed right now.

[:~)]

Jim

movin said...

It looks like the Norfolk cam is down too, but at least there was a pic of the female working in the nest ... then I refreshed.

[:~)]

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Sun is finally out here too...hoping the rest of that rain misses us...

KarenInCali said...

Good morning :-) Just had the changing of the guard at PH. So cool to watch them! BWE sure got a lot of rain! Poor eagles sure working overtime to keep those babies dry!

Yesterday I heard sea lions on the cam at PH! LOL!

Paula, love your new pic! Sooo cute!

paula eagleholic said...

Whew, blog is finally working ...

floralgirl said...

Now
A line of showers extending from western Maryland southeast to Greene County will move quickly east about 40 mph and is expected to reach a Frederick Maryland and Orange Virginia line by 3 PM. A brief thunderstorm is also possible with the strongest showers. Winds are expected to gusts over 45 mph behind this line.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like our eagle is trying to catch a little shut-eye....

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, and does/did anyone see the blue stuff in the BWE nest...maybe the eggshells look bluish...was a blurry blue earlier...

movin said...

Tried live feed again..

Works now.

[:~)]

Jim

floralgirl said...

Well,thank you very much jim live feed is up for me:)

floralgirl said...

Gotten really dark here, and the wind is picking up,radar shows it'll be raining in Shepherdstwon sson, a heavy band of showers at first, then lighter rain. It's 46°now,so at least it's not snow.

MITS said...

THANKS TO WHOEVER GOT THE LIVE-FEED UP AND RUNNING:0

movin said...

I was looking at Maine earlier, and everything looked fine...beautiful nest, no snow, blue-ish sky, but there are no eagles in sight, or site.

Then I cranked the sound up. Sounds like heavy rain to me. Could explain no eagles in the nest.

[:~)]

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Pic stuck on egg turning our nest

floralgirl said...

Nice view of all 3 eggs, tucking them up underneath body and getting comfy...

MITS said...

MITS said...

floralgirl said...

Yeah, well I was gonna holler out the window that Jim said the live feed was up, but I didn't know if you'd hear me. I did send an eamil thru momsters to try to let others know.

movin said...

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Belle is hunkered down...small stick on her back

floralgirl said...

Raining hard now, wind is starting to blow. Gust of about 21 mph in shepherdstown

movin said...

Has anyone "upgraded video controls" in their Real Player, and if so, what do you get and how does it work??

[:~)]

Jim

IrisF said...

Gee, maybe I am not happy the Live feed came up just now??? It is really windy there. Never saw so much SWAY at NCTC!!! Hang in the Lib and Belle!

stellaintennessee said...

Jim,

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are wonderful. Finally get to see mama and eggs. Thanks again.

floralgirl said...

she is really hunkered down over those eggs. It's really pouring here now.

paula eagleholic said...

Not here, Jim...but I've been thinking about it...

floralgirl said...

Wow- major thunder and lightning here now.

KarenInCali said...

VERY windy at PH!! Tree was a-rockin bad! And sounds like thunder...either that or heavy surf. I can't watch Norfolk because it sways way too much and I get motion sick LOL!

paula eagleholic said...

Thundering here now also...gonna go take a peek outside

movin said...

Not too windy yet... Remember when Spunky had to hang on for dear life to keep from getting blown out of the nest in the night??

[:~)]

Jim

floralgirl said...

She's just about out of the heavy rain, thundering loudly, dog is freaking out here. Wind gusting from 15 to 26 mph.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh yeah, it's here now. Lightening, thunder, winds, sheets of rain!

paula eagleholic said...

Jim, we were all just rewatching that video the other day...

floralgirl said...

Ok, very strong line of showers just passed by the nest. Looks like that's it for now. Sky tightening back up. Still windy, and it's going to be that way for a while, last gust was 22 mph.

MITS said...

Eagle hanging on at BWO

movin said...

Well, I've got to take care of business here.

Have fun, talk to you later.

[:~)]

Jim

MITS said...

eagle gone at BWO

floralgirl said...

Wow, it was 46° right before that line of storms came thru, now it's 36°.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagles head is up and looking around...maybe the worst has past!

floralgirl said...

I think Belle wants lib to come take that stick off her so she doesn't have to get up.

paula eagleholic said...

Still 57° here
