Good Morning Eagle Land! Hope everyone has an egg-citing day!
P.S. THANK YOU STEVEN!
Good morning Vicky and CamsGrammy! I watched a feeding a little while ago and could still see only 2 bobbleheads.
Just watched an egg roll!
Morning all:) Rain is past us now, so the eagles can dry off. Gonna be a little breezy today, though. Today
Mostly cloudy with rain ending this morning...then mostly sunny this afternoon. Highs in the upper 40s. Northwest winds 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph. Chance of rain 50 percent.
Well Floralgirl Thats a pretty good forecast. Coul dyou make it like just a tad warmer and a tad less windy. OK itis what it is and thats not too bad. Have a good day everyone. I am home sick today, so will be watching some here and there as I did yesterday.
Well, Glo, the sun is shining now, if that helps. Adult got up, see 2 eaglets and one egg.
eggroll
I still see 2 eaglets and an egg. She/He just turned the egg and is wiggling back down.
Good Morning Vicky, Megan, Glo and Sharon. I am on my third try with live feed this morning. I think I have it working now.
Fly in.
Belle just took off, Lib feeding eaglets.
Good Palm Sunday Morning Everyone
Just saw 2 bobbleheads & 1 egg & a fly in!
All Is Well.........
Deb I've had my live feed up all night... Still going strong.
Mine is working fine now, too. It just didn't want to start. I read about an egg roll and realized Belle hadn't moved an inch.
DID YOU ALL SEE HER LEAVE THE NEST AND COME BACK SO FAST? DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT SHE IS FEELING SO THREATENED BY?
SORRY ALL -- GOOD MORNING! IT IS PALM SUNDAY AND AREN'T WE ALL SO BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH WONDERFUL CREATURES AROUND US AND TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THIS PART OF THEIR LIVES.
I am thinking there was an intruder nearby and she just went to chase it off and came right back.
Good morning, Rocking, the two eagles switched places. Lib flew in and Belle left. Lib is on the eggs now.
OK, I am going back to watch it again. Did I miss something?
GOOD PALM SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE
DEB THANKS FOR THE UPDATE--AM SURE BELLE IS THANKFUL FOR A BREAK--THE LITTLE ONES DIDN'T SEEM TO LET HER SLEEP MUCH LAST NIGHT. BESIDES AM SURE SHE IS GLAD TO GET AWAY FROM THE STINKY FISH FOR A MOMENT OR 2 :)
Sharon thinks it is Belle on the eggs now, so I must be wrong, Rocking. Am I confused this morning??
EAGLE EYE SHARON--I SEEM TO REMEMBER THAT IN PAST YEARS THERE WAS A HAWK OR 2 THAT SEEMED TO CIRCLE CLOSE --ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS YEAR?
DEB ITS OK---I STAY CONFUSSED SOME DAYS :) 3 LITTLE ONES AT HOME DO THAT TO ME SOMETIMES :)
NCTC covers a very large area with lots of woods and fields and wildlife, and it's very close to the Potomac rive, there a lots of birds, sure there are many hawks flying around.
I really don't know who is on the nest right now but Belle was feeding them earlier and that is when she took off after something.
I bet that happened when I was having camera problems, so maybe I am not as confused as i thought?? :)
looks like little Lib??
eagle at BWO and feeding at BWE
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---It's a beautiful SUNNY a.m. in WV today---"HOME OF BELLE & LIBERTY--PLUS 2"----temp 41°---Thought I might see #3 today when I logged on!!---What WONDERS will this day bring!!!---Looking forward to a GLORIOUS DAY!!!----LIFE IS GOOD!!!
BWE feeding going on.......
Still rainy in CA as Mama Cali protects her little ones.......
Lots of feathers in Mama Valmont's nest box!
Both eagles are at NBG.
Morning, Norma. How did the election go?
did you see the eagle at NBG eat the whole fish in one gulp?
MORNIN' #1 EAGLE MOMMA VICKY!!---#1 TODAY & every day!!---HELLO!--SHARON-- MEGAN---GLO---DEB---JO---ROCKING CIRCLE R & WELCOME BACK HELEN!!!!---I agree with ROCKING CIRCLE R----WE ARE TOTALLY BLESSED ON THE PALM SUNDAY!!!
Lib is up
back down, but those chicks look good
Morning, all!
I am watching the rerun of the switch and the feeding about 1/2 hour ago. The eaglets are looking much stronger!
MORNING NORMABYRD!
MORNIN' DEB----SCHOOL LEVY was defeated---BIG TIME!-----(this ole' body was tired!!---5:30 a.m.--8:30 p.m.----SO SORRY FOR OUR COUNTY!!
MEMA JO--I CAN'T GET LIVE CAM UP AT VALMONT THIS MORNING---DO YOU HAVE LIVE CAM UP?
ALWAYS AMAZED when watching the EAGLETS being fed----Both MOM & DAD are so tender with them!!---Those 2 EAGLETS are truly AWESOME!!---I can quit say that!!!!
falcon in the nest box at PA, and there is an osprey in the nest down in a cam I watch a Shady Side MD, 30 miles south of Annapolis
I didn't see any fly off the nest unless it was before the switch...
Good morning eagle buddies. I was hoping for #3 today....So glad our babies are all right. I only have dial-up but I can get a picture from the live feed that refreshes every 10 seconds which is better than nothing
I can almost see patches of blue sky here in NW PA. The snow from last weekend is nearly gone. Spring will come, eventually, I'm told.
Oh cool, Mits, is that cam on again?
It was well before the switch, about 8:10 a.m. I saved a pic of just the babies in the nest.
Morning, all! Is there going to be a poll about the names after the last one hatches? I just remembered that there is another Eagle named Star (I just don't remember where!~). There are some naming traditions that I know about...One is naming the offspring with the first letter of the name of the mother, like Belle and Beauty. They do that with calves here. There was even a cow named Geula. I just realized that Belle and Beauty fit together. Belle= beautiful! To narrow down the possibilities, I think we should name with B, L and S. Belle, Liberty and Steven. Without Steven and the NCTC gang we wouldn't be sitting here google eyed for 24/7!
BWO SITE----AN EAGLE!!!----
WOW!---Check BOB QUINN'S NEW PHOTOGRAPHS!!-----These really are just TOO AWESOME for words!!---
Hey new EAGLE WATCHERS----They are located at this site!!!!
there you go, Geula, Steven would be a good choice....:)
No wonder I didn't see it. I hadn't even logged on yet. I thought I was losing it for awhile!
yes, Paula, it has been on for a little while, just now seeing osprey arrive,
Paula, just sent you a pic from SS.
both eagle at NBG
well one just took off
Thanks, Mits. I had forgotten about the cam. Shady side is a nice place, been there once or twice a long time ago in a boat...
I am hoping the park where Nature works, Patuxent river park, can get their osprey cam online soon. It was on last year, but rather sporadic. It was the first year they had it, I think. You could watch it in the visitor center really good.
rocking CR - no I can't get the daily pics nor the live feed up on Mama Valmont... SO! Live feed on the falcon & eagle are also down for me.
But Mama Cali is up & running for 3/16 !
The barn owl cams at Washington are current Both owls sleeping still
Lisa on the BWE page has a link for Bob's photos also.
Let me clarify what I just said about name....A name that starts with B for mother Belle, a name that starts with L for papa Lib and a name that starts with Steven, for Steven and NCTC! LOL! They deserve to share an eagle name after what we put them through. The whining and cajoling and the treats of camping at NCTC!
MORNIN' PAULA----LYNNE (GRANNYBLT) & GEULA!!!----Great to see you LYNNE----We have missed you!! Isn't is exciting---2 EAGLETS!!!---
BEAUTIFUL GEULA!!---I WANT TO BE THE FIRST TO SECOND YOUR MOTION OF NAMING THE 1ST EAGLET----"STEVEN"------There would not be this WONDERFUL EAGLE GROUP WITH OUT HIM!----If it is A FEMALE---It would be COOL to name her---"STEVIE"---
HEY HELEN!!---I hadn't see your post when I agreed with GEULA'S naming comments!!!---GREAT MINDS??
ho!!
EAGLE----BC SITE!
The squirrel was really upsetting the eagle at NBG. She must want it for dinner.
Yesterdays video links are on the EM blog - there are some good ones from yesterday - If you only watch one, watch Lib bringing in the bunny, which he is feeding the chicks now.
Eaglet Momsters Blog
Look at the eaglet using his wings for balance
DEB----SO FUNNY---That is 'SKINNY'----Isn't he one BOLD SQUIRREL!!!
both eagles at NBG again.
He looks so funny trying to get back over those chicks...incoming!
More fish!!
THANKS MEMA JO---I WILL TRY TO FIND MAMA CALI--
EAGLE ON A SNOWY NEST AT CO!!!
HORNED OWL---On NEST---(feathers--i think---in her nest)!!
Here are some pictures of the female eagle watching the squirrel, from the Maine forum. They are towards the bottom, in a grouping of 4 pictures, posted by Lori.
Skinny, the Squirrel
both our nest
That looks like Lib brought in the fish and Belle on the nest....so there must have been a switch earlier this morning, cause Belle was on the nest last night...
going to need a bigger nest just for the food
Is there such a thing as too much food?
Hmmm...is Lib a food-a-holic? You know, has to have a ton of food around, stashed it everywhere?
Can they get food poisoning from that big rotten fish in the middle of the nest?
Whatever he just brought in looks like a fire extingusher with the nozzle and the handle at the top.
HEY KIDS!---Do you suppose BELLE & LIBERTY are exchanging "fish stories"----They certainly know where to catch the 'BIG ONES'!!---
Doesn't really look like a fish so I guess we could call it mystery meat for now.
They are watching something, but don't seem upset...just watching.
Headed out to Hedgesville WV to visit family
I am waiting for him to move to be able to see all of it...
MORNIN' SHARON!!---I think these EAGLES are a 'wee bit' smarter when it comes to knowing if a fish is tainted or not!!!!!
Have a wonderful day, Mema Jo!
Have a good day, Jo!
HEY DANA!!---I think the 'DONKEY PARTY' is over---I only see about a dozen of them feeding!!!
Sharon - eagles eat carrion - dead animals - so no, I don't think the 4 day old fish would hurt them!
Belle fed some of that fish to the eaglets yesterday...and she had some too.
The food poisoning thing was really just a joke! :)
There is no better way to spend this day-- JO---Than with your FAMILY!!---you are certainly blessed with such a loving family!!
envy you! ho!----ENJOY---
CAN I MAKE A SUGGESTION FOR ONE NAME?
BE---FOR BELLE
LI---FOR LIBERTY
EVE--FOR STEVE
BELIEVE!
I think Lib is enjoying the breeze and a break!
SHARON----My ANSWER was a joke too!!---I was trying to be FUNNY!!
(guess it fell flat) ho!
And off goes Liberty...
WHOA!!--ROCKING CIRCLE R!!---"Very Clever!!!----thanks!!
It is nice to see all the food at the BWE nest. However brought in the last one, was eating it at BWO. There was an eagle on the chicks while the eagle was at BWO, so maybe dad is starting to get the idea.
Well, I am not quite sure what Lib brought in - mystery meat sounds good to me!
ROCKING CIRCLE R----The VALMONT HORNED OWL is on the same site as the CO EAGLE!!---(at bottom)--or am i wrong---usually am!!!
LOL so we have a food aholic PaPa and an awesome suggestion for a name Believe Now isn't that exactly what we have all been doing this whole past year as we waited for this new season, and how the name came together ...Just awesome I for one love that idea.
NORMABYRD--YES IT IS--I CAN'T GET A LIVE FEED FOR ANY OF THE NESTS--TRIED ALL OF THEM SEVERAL TIMES
BELIEVE is a wonderful name! Yes, we DID believe for a whole year that we'd be sitting here again watching such a grand creation! And to think that in a few short months those little bobbleheads will fly out of the nest!
HA, I need more sleep. I thought Rocking wanted us to name the eagles, Be, Li, and Eve. I was thinking, I am going to be so confused. Going to be, I am not off to a good start today! Thanks, Glo, for clearing the fog in my brain.
I think Believe is a brilliant idea!! We truly have believed and stuck around waiting on this time to be here. And, also, the motto for Bluefield High School Beavers is WE BELIEVE!!
I'm an old softy and I just got misty on the BELIEVE thing! lol
DEB---Just now saw your 'SKINNY SQUIRREL' note!!---On GLO'S site--I see some one called him 'PESTY PERCY'---Clever name!-----When I 1st saw the SQUIRREL--Pointed it out to JIM---JIM made the remark that another SQUIRELL was larger--ho!---THUS the name of 'SKINNY'--Thanks!!
You have it right, Deb - you aren't losing it.
DEB---Didn't understand that she wanted the name BELIEVE either!!---BUT I WAS BORN CONFUSED!!---SO I SEEM TO STAY CONFUSED!! ho!
Deb You must Believe now that the fog is clearing.....all is well LOL
Oh, goody! The "mystery Meat is in color in the stills cam! is that yummy, or what...
GEULA---Just saw your post!!---I still get teary-eyed when I remember my favorite of our last EAGLETS----'SPUNKY'---I will always have 'her' in my heart!!---(SPUNKY) was male----But I thought she was an INDEPENDENT WOMAN! ho!!-VERY HARD WHEN THEY FLEDGE!!--SUCH JOY to watch!!!
OK GUYS--GOING TO TRY ANOTHER ONE
REVELRY?
MIXED UP LETTER FROM ALL THREE NAMES
I just changed my picture to something eagley.
I am going to get out of here before the snow and rain come in tonight. It is supposed to last until Tuesday, so I am going to enjoy today. BBL
ELECTION (i worked yesterday)--was held at DEP NAT REC BLDG.---a Nurse came running in!!---HORNED OWL had been hit by car----wanted help---Found DNR man at home---Went to pick up owl!!---will let you know what happened when I found out!!!!!
Revelry is a good name to! we should save the last name for when the last bobblehead makes an appearence...
GEULA---I don't think you could get any more EAGLEY!!!---So COOL! ho!
Read that there was RAIN at the nest yesterday!!-----BUMMER!!---We usually have about same weather---It was SUNNY here yesterday!!
NORMABYRD---HOW SAD--PLEASE KEEP US POSTED ABOUT THE OWL--
feeding time!
Wow, I just saw the little eaglet do a poop shoot across the egg cup! Too bad Jo is not here to witness that! :)
I got it Sharon!
ROCKING CIRCLE R!!----Will do!!-----Get very emotional & worry---!--(normal reaction--i guess)
Very good, Paula! :)
PA RACHEL (CARSON) FALCON SITE WILL OPEN!!!---3/21/08!!!---I have--& SUZANNE has seen a FALCON there a few times already!!!

Jim
NORMABYRD--YOU HAVE GOOD DNR PEOPLE IN THAT AREA---THEY WILL DO ALL THEY CAN---
NORMABYRD--THANKS--HAVING MEMORY PROBLEM THIS MORNING--COULDN'T REMEMBER IF YOU HAD TOLD ME ROMNEY OR KEYSER
NEW FOOD IN THE NEST--MAYBE A SQUIRREL? TRIED TO ENLARGE IMAGE--DIDN'T WORK SO WELL--
Rocking - that is mystery meat!
Well no matter what the eaglets get named I have them already named for something that lays deep within. Many good things have happened in my life due to these eagles and I have chosen names to remind me of those things. Maybe someday I can share my thoughts on this.
Boy, did you see how long Liberty had to do hard breathing exercises to catch up after he flew the rabbit in yesterday?
Nobody got a shot of him bringing the mystery food in?
Look how much fish Dad brought into the BW nest. Looks more like last year.
He was on the Osprey nest, but not now... Look at all that standing water after the rain...
I wonder how long before an Osprey pair settle in the BW nest.
C(°?°)3
Jim
Yes Jim, I have video of Lib bringing it in, working on it now.
GOOD MORNING RED, THE EAGLES ARE SO VERY SPECIAL--THEY SEEM TO TOUCH ALL OF US IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER---WE ARE ALL SO VERY BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THEIR JOY!
AWWWW!---The 'LITTLE PRINCE' is sleeping near his GRATE &----all his bamboo----is blowin' in the wind!!----WHOA TAI!!!---IT'S GONE!!---my favorite 'LITTLE IMP'!!!
Lib just flew in
I think he brought some more fluff!
Lovely Blessed Palm Sunday to everyone! And we are blessed.See we still have 2 bobbleheads and one egg.
Re:Patuxent ospreys...Paula, the water depth under the platform and cam is about 2Ft. + -, according to the tide.Some fishermen are allowed to put up nets for perch season & they are like underwater volleyball nets. Yesterday, BOTH ospreys were perched on their net posts to catch an easy meal! Smart birds. Cam not up yet...will let everyone know if/when it gets online.
Thanks, Nature!
They are both in our nest now. I wish they would chow down on that old carp or toss it over the side.
C(°?°)3
Jim
I guess Lib's motto is "Better too much than too little!"
That's funny, she is trying to pull the fluff out from under his feet, and he is beaking at her!
MORNIN' RED!---I understand!!---These EAGLES have truly been a blessing----They have changed my life and thinking in many ways!!!-----I AM A BETTER PERSON!!!---LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!
WOW--WHAT IS THAT ABOUT? SOMEBODY IS CRANKY TODAY
Not sure, but when the clouds cover the sun and you get less glare, the mystery looks like a squirrel with the head pointing toward the cam.
C(°?°)3
Jim
Guess he just isn't ready to move!
PERHAPS HE WANTS A TURN AT THE NEST
Belle finally got up and left
Time for some bunny brunch!
Count the heads a-bobbling.
I might have seen 3.

Jim
Parent just took off from BWE. Look at the chicks.

Jim
MORNIN' MOVIN'JIM & NATURENUT!!---What's another word to describe the 2 little EAGLETS??----I have probably used 'AWESOME' a 100 times this a.m.!!!---ho!
LOL - works for me, Norma!
THANKS PAULA!!----I still am in 'AWE'--- just thinking about these ADORABLE CHICKS!!!----They are so COMICAL to watch too! ho!!
Good Afternoon "Everyone" I would miss someone if I tried to put names.
Read all comments so I'm up-to-date Liberty is in the nest. Still 2 chicks and 1 egg.
Food is plentiful...
You know I was just thinking - these little eaglets' whole world is encased in a little egg cup right now, with parents feeding them and sheltering them. They don't have a clue that in a few months, they will be soaring high above that nest and enjoying such great freedom!
GOOD AFTERNOON--WVGAL!
OREGON NEST still piled high with SNOW!!!
MORNIN' DANA!!!---No need to check the DONKEYS----Last time I checked---only a dozen or so! ho!
I think maybe Mom is on the BWO box right now. Must have been fishing and eating in the mud from the look of her feet.
C(°?°)3
Jim
Looks like belle is back!
Hey everybody. Sun is shining but windy here. Guess pollen is out too, head is killing me. Going to check the nest and lay back down.
Hello, our very own Legal Eagle Jill!
That carp looks pretty intact. Has one of the eagles brought in another one since yesterday?
C(°?°)3
Jim
No, Jim -
Belle fed some of it to the eaglet yesterday and had some herself - check out the Fish guts video link on the EM blog
Please light a candle
Glo, I am praying for you to feel better soon. Sure hope this is not the long draggy kind of fluy thing others have had. Get lots of rest and drink lots of fluids!!!
What is all the new FLUFF in the nest...Do you think they want us to name #3 Fluffy? I do like Believe!!!
Thanks, Paula. I'll do that.
[:~)]
Jim
What a glorious PALM SUNDAY!! We had so many children in church this morning waving palms, it was just adorable!
There is enough food in this nest to feed a small army! Good job, Lib and Belle!
BTW - Belle left after hanging out for awhile!
As far as I know!
GOOD PALM SUNDAY TO ALL WATCHERS OUT THERE! I have been reading the blog to catch up while listening to the Carolina/Clemson ACC championship game. Pretty close; neck and neck.
Hey ROCKING I just love those two names you have picked for the eagles. Good thinking.
BOB QUINN Beautiful pics as usual. thanks for sharing them with us.
MORNIN' JILL!!---HEADACHE!!---Well that's a BUMMER to have on PALM SUNDAY!!---Hope you feel better---LIKE NOW!---miss you!!!
We are having our St. Paticks's Day parade today at the Outer Banks on the beach road, but I had to see the game and get on this blog. My husband is with the Crime Line Dog and car. Very windy here and coo. He can have it.
JIM That is some new face you have there with your comments. Is the question mark on there until we know there are three chickclets in the nest?
HYE NORMA! Get your eyes peeled on our nest and leave those divers and donkies alone! lol
Hubby just called for me to pick him up. BB
MORNIN'IRIS!!---It TRULY is a GLORIOUS DAY!!!----I didn't know GLO wasn't well!!!----Is it FLU??--I hope she feels better soon!!!
Good afternoon to all! Palm Sunday blessings! Just returned from church, read the posts, and headed to Norfolk cam. Eagle there is busily working on the nest. Wish they would lay an egg or two.
Mystery meat! Very interesting! Loved the video of the rabbit!
MORNIN' CANDY!!---I have had you in my thoughts all week!!----I saw DUKE had LOST!!!----"GO TAR HEELS" !!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOl - fighting time!
MORNIN' LOLLY!!!---Checked the VA CAM earlier!!!---I so enjoy that site too!!----Such a BEAUTIFUL SITE!!
Alright children! Stop your squabbling or I'll sit on you!
Boy they were going at each other!
Lib backed off the chicks for a minute, they pecked at each other, then he covered them back up! Too funny!
Did anyone get a really good look at the egg? I surely saw a very dark spot!
Eagle at LW.
WOW!---WILD KINGDOM---Is tracking a SNOW LEOPARD in PAKISTAN---FILMING PICS OF THE MOST ELUSIVE BIG CAT IN THE WORLD!-----SHE LEADS THEM TO A 1 YEAR OLD SNOW LEOPARD CUB IN A CAVE!!!----SHE IS SUCH A HANDSOME ANIMAL!!!!---
LOLLY--When they start fighting over food---real FIGHTS then!!!! ho!
No I didn't Lolly, and I had to restart my player....it wasn't keeping the playback file...
Lib is really calling out about something!
Calling out some more
Norfolk Mom is in the egg cup, but she's looking around like she might be expecting the intruder again.
[:~)]
Jim
Hey, the Norfolk female might have laid an egg! Take a look.
[:~)]
Jim
All's quiet :)
