ROCKING CIRCLE R said...

BRANDON IS 7, CORRECT? HOPE HE LIKED SOME OF THE BIRDS LAST NIGHT! I HAVE 3 LITTLE ONES---THEY WATCH FOR A LITTLE WHILE BUT WHEN THERE ISN'T MUCH GOING ON THEY WOULD MUCH RATHER DO SOMETHING ELSE

Anne-Marie said...

What split, what are you talking about?

Mema Jo said...

Whew!!!!!
I made it through the SPLIT!!!


Ok rockingcr - You are so right!
Thanks for the news on the 2nd hatch of Mama Valmont! She was out and about around the 7:00pm daily pics & when I looked I could not see any egg! Then I came back & read your news! 2 HOOTIES WHoo HOo

Anne-Marie said...

OK I made it now I know. Brandon is 7 going on 17. he comes over as much as he can. My daughter lives about 3 blocks away. I worried about it being so close to her when I moved but it workd out just fine.

MITS said...

what happened to Sharon....thought she was coming back???

paula eagleholic said...

I need food...BBS

Mema Jo said...

Ho Ho ANNE! you made it through
the split and didn't even realize it!

See the oldest Older over at the beginning and the numbers 401
404 of 404 ??
Thread automatically splits at
201 & 401 & 601 should we be so
unlucky not to get a SPLIT before 600

Anne-Marie said...

If any of you have dogs or cats my vet told me Dawn really works for bathing them.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, I got lost for a few minutes but I am back now! :)

Anne-Marie said...

I have never been on the blog when its been this busy. I didnt know about the split. neat!

Anne-Marie said...

How are you doing Sharon?

Mema Jo said...

Takes awhile to read and watch everyone's videos to catch up even if you're just gone a few hours.......

MITS said...

took me hours today to read Thursday and Fridays posts...

Bob Quinn said...

Boy these are busy times. Second split of the day. Lots of eaglets to watch and the osprey are back. I watched seven osprey in one area over a water platform on Friday. Lots of chasing. An immature eagle even got into the act. I took over 500 photos in just over an hour and a half. I narrowed them down to about 50. Here are they are:

Friday's Photos

Anne-Marie said...

We are a busy bunch. I got an email from Robyn and I am so thrilled about the wonderful changes in her and Tori's life. I wish them love and happiness.

ROCKING CIRCLE R said...

HEIDIGIRL---SURE MISS THE TIMES I HAD WITH MY GRANDMOTHER---I CHERISH EACH AND EVERY MEMORY I HAVE---AM SURE BRANDON ENJOYS HIS TIME WITH YOU!

Anne-Marie said...

thank you Bob. Your photos are such a treat.

ROCKING CIRCLE R said...

PAULA EAGLEHOLIC==THANKS FOR THE UPDATE ABOUT THE NEST WATCHING---WILL LIB GIVE HER A BREAK AT ALL NOW OR BE GONE MOST OF THE NIGHT?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Going to bed now.

Good night my friends of fine feathers and fur. Rest well.

Anne-Marie said...

rockin, I had a grand mother like that too. I have grandchildren from 22 to new and I am very blessed. I had a childhood that if I hadnt had a grandmother that cared about me I wouldnt have made it.

floralgirl said...

Thanks, Bob- you're pictures are wonderful- they always are, looks like it was a great birding day there.

Anne-Marie said...

Oh Bob I wish I could be with you just once. If I can see even a red tailed hawk Im thrilled.

MITS said...

BOB, YOU OUTDID YOURSELF...JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!

deb said...

The first heron picture is fabulous, I think it is my favorite of this bunch. The heron here aren't as colorful. I love seeing your pictures, Bob.

Anne-Marie said...

Deb I love the "feathery" looks of the bird.

ROCKING CIRCLE R said...

HEIDIGIRL--SO NICE THAT YOU CAN SHARE SPECIAL THINGS WITH YOUR GRANDCHILDREN. IS EVEN MORE SPECIAL BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE VALUE OF THE TIME.

Anne-Marie said...

What is really great for me is that I have two families. I have my grown girls(grand daughters) and I have my babies. Its like having the both of two worlds. I am so blessed.

Bob Quinn said...

Deb - I think the color on those heron pictures is a little off. It didn't look so blue when I saw it. I may go back and try to correct those.

Anne-Marie said...

I will have my first great grandchild this fall. Now I had to take this with a big breath. Believe me it wasnt easy. But she is 20 and she is married and says she is ready. I have to remember that.

Anne-Marie said...

Bob I have found that true to with the herons. It has to be a cast we are not seeing.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, boy Pics from Bob! Thanks!

Rocking - Lib will relieve her in the morning...good to see her sleeping right now!

deb said...

Bob, the ones here are more gray than blue. I, also, don't remember the ones I have seen having the white on the face. I plan to get much closer to them this summer, now that I know the Lake Andes Wildlife Refuge has them, once the lake thaws. When I was there last Sunday, it hadn't even started yet.

Anne-Marie said...

The electrict sprinklers just went on. For those who live in the east and dont need them we dont have rain to amount to anything in the summer and my son turned them on this afternoon. It scared me to death. Strange noises.

paula eagleholic said...

2 more videos ready

Will put the links on the EM blog later.

Sibling Rivalry

Fish guts for lunch!

ROCKING CIRCLE R said...

THANKS PAULA---HOPE SHE GETS SOME REST.

Mema Jo said...

I'm going in for the 50 photos Bob has posted....... Was over in my emials........ Hi Bob! Here goes...

Anne-Marie said...

BBL heading for the shower.

ROCKING CIRCLE R said...

MEMA JO--DID YOU GET TO SEE THE 2 HOOTIES? I SURE HOPE SO---THE ONE IS VERY ACTIVE AND HAS SEEMED TO WANT TO GO EXPLORING---SHE SITS ON HIM/HER VERY QUICKLY TO PUT HIM/HER BACK IN PLACE.

ROCKING CIRCLE R said...

NIGHT ALL---HAS BEEN A LONG DAY---WILL HAVE TO CATCH UP TOMORROW

HOPE ALL SLEEP WELL---

Mema Jo said...

The photos are fantastic.Looking at them makes you feel like you'll right up there with them! Thanks, Bob!

The Eagle Festival should have been a hit today with the weather and all the birds around. Says there is light rain now at the Refuge.......

paula eagleholic said...

What great detail in those photos! I have to laugh at the very last one..the eagle at the osprey nest cam platform. He is sitting there like, OK I'm ready, take my picture!

Love all the shots, BOB

Bob Quinn said...

Deb - I corrected the heron images. Probably not perfect but closer to what I saw.

Paula - The eagle on the osprey cam platform was the same one that was in the tree. I got too close and it flew by me straight to the platform.

paula eagleholic said...

Night, Mits!

paula eagleholic said...

LOL - so you just followed him there, huh?

Bob Quinn said...

Paula - I just turned. The ones in the tree folllowed by the ones flying and then the one on the platform were all taken standing on the same spot. It helps to have a long lens.

deb said...

I saw how big your lens is, I wish I had a bigger one. Bob, I talk to the eagles in a real soft voice. They seem to sit there longer when I do. (Most people think I am nuts, but I think it works.)

Bob Quinn said...

I'll have to try that Deb. I think my rapid fire shutter noise scares them off.

deb said...

It is just as beautiful that way, Bob. Still more colorful than the ones I have seen here. There are so many varieties, I didn't realize that until we started watching the ones at the WDFW site.

paula eagleholic said...

So they were in the grove of trees there then, I get it now.

Bob Quinn said...

You got it Paula. One of my favorite spots to catche them.

deb said...

I am also lucky that sometimes they are close enough to the road, I don't have to get out of my truck. They don't mind me as much. Sadly, most of them have migrated back north. Next November is a long time off.

paula eagleholic said...

Well you and the new camera seem to work well together. Love the little RWBB with his mouth open too. And the herons are really nice....we are all watching a heron cam too.

Mauley said...

loved the herons, Bob. They are a favorite of mine. Good night dear friends. I will remember all your needs when I talk to my Jesus tonight. God Bless You all and have a precious Palm Sunday tomorrow. love donna

Mema Jo said...

Calling it a day
Going to be out & about tomorrow BUT
I think it is going to be another
Hatching Day

Good Night everyone
Peace to You & Yours
Prayers for all our needs being said

Bob Quinn said...

Good night all. Going to watch the last few minutes of the Georgetown game. Not looking good for my Hoyas.

deb said...

Night everyone, Blogger froze up on me for awhile. TTUT

paula eagleholic said...

Good night, all!

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is tenting...looks like some light rain falling.

She just woke up and is looking around

paula eagleholic said...

She is napping...

Nite again.

Geula said...

I see Spidey's web flowing in the wind but deep down in the nest, not a feather is fluttering! Yesterday the egg cup was so deep we could hardly see the bobbleheads and they kept adding more grass around the cup!

And 2 new fish that I didn't see last night. I wonder if that OLD fish tastes good to them.

Good Morning to all, when you wake up and Happy Sunday! I'm away to town to get my eyes checked so I can replace my broken glasses. BBL!

Geula in Israel!!

wizzy said...

good morning. this is my first post on here but i have been watching liberty and belle last year when the storm came. Superb to have them back . Fingers crossed . xxxxxx

AJ said...

hello whizzy welcome aboard

AJ said...

she has 2 eaglets and a egg still in incubation will hatch any day now

movin said...

I read most of this page of comments, and it doesn't look like the 3rd chick hatched today. Is that correct?

C(°?°)3

Jim

movin said...

The female is still not on the nest tonight, so I guess she didn't lay an egg today.

C(°?°)3

Jim

AJ said...

no it hasent, maybe any time now

AJ said...

no it hasent, maybe any time now

movin said...

Meant to say "the Norfolk female..."

C(°?°)3

Jim

AJ said...

i only watch this one dont know about norfolk ,bell is enough for me

Jill said...

Hey Jim and AJ. First chance I have had to check the blog. Thanks for making it easy. I see we don't have a new chick. Too tired to read anything else. There is a light raining falling in Martinsburg. Picks up a little at times but not too back. Still fairly warm out.

AJ said...

hi Jill looks like bell is getting rained on at times tonight, no chick yet

movin said...

Hi, AJ. Well, I watch a few more from time to time ... like Blackwater and Norfolk. But with the 30 sec cam and the live feed and the blog, you could certainly spend all your time on the Liberty-Belle pair and their offspring.

C(°?°)3

Jim

AJ said...

yes this one keeps me busy, and i have a hard time with the blog at times , i may be doing it the hard way , i can post good but have trouble getting othed blogger mesages

movin said...

Morning, Jill.
I'm tired too, although I've been sleeping off and on all day ... body trying to kick a head-lung thing.

Thought I'd check in before going to bed. How do you like my new little friend, just below here??

C(°?°)3

Jim

Jill said...

I haven't slept since 8 am and that was only about 5 hours. If I wasn't so tired, your little friend may actually look like more than punctuation marks. I am going to bed. Had to wait up for youngest to get home from Balt and no sooner did I pick him up than they called me to work. He slept in the car while I went in. (At least he got to sleep)

movin said...

Yes, AJ, you have to refresh (reload) (F5 works) every few minutes, or you will not see any of the newer comments made since your last post...

You seem to be getting mine and Jill's this morning.

C(°?°)3

Jim

AJ said...

how did you do that?

movin said...

Wow, that's a lot of "no sleep," Jill.

Rest easy, it doesn't look like the 3rd one will hatch before morning.

C(°?°)3

Jim

AJ said...

i have been hitting refresh , its doing better

movin said...

Do what, AJ

C(°?°)3

Jim

movin said...

Do you have the live feed up? Belle is tenting and probably sleeping, and Spidey's webs are blowing in the wind like Mrs. Mulligan's laundry lines.

C(°?°)3

Jim

AJ said...

yes i have live feed and love it

movin said...

Are you planning to stay up all night, AJ? It's 12:30 a.m. here in So Cal!!

C(°?°)3

Jim

AJ said...

yes i stay up till around 4 am , its s;so here now i am a night person

AJ said...

sorry 3:30 here typo

movin said...

I just looked at the cam & live feed, and it appears to be raining harder.

The adult, which looks more like Liberty right now, is tenting with wings spread even farther.

C(°?°)3

Jim

AJ said...

how did you make the face?

AJ said...

it may be lib its hard to tell sometimes

movin said...

Had to go to the boy's room, and now I can't tell which adult it is on the nest either.

It would make sense that it was Liberty, because they were alternating night shifts before the hatching, and Belle has had 2-3 hard nights in a row.

movin said...

I was playing around with "smileys, [:~)], etc., and I did one with a degree symbol and a question mark...(°? ... which I also like, and then I just added the other eye and the "C" and "3" for ears. And you have... C(°?°)3

Jim

movin said...

Good night, AJ. Catch you tomorrow.
Happy Sunday.

C(°?°)3

Jim

AJ said...

ok i will practice on it later,its neat, i will see you tomorrow night bye

movin said...

Bye, AJ ... glad you like it. See you tomorrow.

Maybe the 3rd chick will come, it's been 2 days.

C(°?°)3

Jim

movin said...

Good night, everybody/good morning to a happy Sunday and to the possible 3rd youngster of this eagle family.

[:~)]

Jim

movin said...

I forgot to tell Bob Quinn that I really, totally like his photos from this trip.

[:~)]

Jim

movin said...

Checked just as shutting down, and Belle is looking VERY WET now.

[:~)]

Jim

AJ said...

AJ said...
