GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!!----It's a DARK--COLD-- WINDY a.m. here in WV---"HOME OF BELLE & LIBERTY--PLUS 3"! --- temp 38°--Live Feed!!----& 3 little "BITS Of SUNSHINE" to warm our hearts this morning!!----Another GLORIOUS DAY!!!----LIFE IS GOOD HERE IN THE MOUNTAIN STATE!!!-----ENJOY!!!
Thanks for the new thread, Steven, and the heads up, Norma. And morning to Norma and Sharon. I've been watching the squirrels drive the eagles in NBG crazy. Just talking away over there, not gonna copy here.
Oh, they just zoomed in, squirrel is not on the trunk on the right. Mom (back on egg(s)) saw him, but one on branch wasn't paying attention.
MORNIN' SHARON & SUZANNE!!---The rain has stopped here----That's a GOOD THING for BELLE & LIBERTY!!!!
SUZANNE---That's "SKINNY"!----He isn't afraid of an EAGLE!!--ho!----BRAVE SOUL!!----
WHOA!!---The 'LITTLE PRINCE' is restless this a.m.!----Just pacing back & forth over his estate!!----Wonder how he has gotten through these past few days!!---
Good morning to all Eaglet Momsters!! Sure enjoying our 3 special babies! Have a great Day!
TAKE A LOOK AT OUR LITTLE 'DEARS'!!
Norma, there are two "Skinnies" and neither one of them looked too skinny this morning!
And I'd really love to see our little "dears" but with the way the cam is refreshing, they're gonna fledge before I can actually get a good look at them.
MORNIN' COMMODE VICKY!!!---GOOD to hear from you!!!------AREN'T THOSE EAGLET ADORABLE!!!
SUZANNE---LIVE FEED is up!!---Can't you get it there?---It's very windy---BELLE has that 'wind blown' look!!
Oh, sorry, good morning, Vicky!
No, Norma, never could get live feed here. That's why I depend on the 30 sec refresh. Which is now 3+ minutes refresh. Very frustrating, to say the least!
SHARON---Have been reading about the EAGLE WATCHERS near HINTON--- waters of NEW & BLUESTONE Waters!!------They have had volunteers watching during the past 5 years!!-----seeing several EAGLES---BUT CAN "NOT" LOCATE THE NESTS!!!---Isn't this near you???---Pic of EAGLE in BLUESTONE LAKE!!---
SUZANNE---Isn't it strange----After seeing the live feed---Doesn't the old 30 sec. refresh seems so antiquated???---ho!---Doesn't take long to get used to the GOOD life!!!!
OSPREY, BWO!!!
Normabyrd, I went to Bluestone last year looking for eagles but never saw one. I need to find out where they are spotting them. It is about 30 minutes from here. Where are you reading about it?
Just sent Lisa a pic of the visiting Osprey, and told her he/she was still there. I no sooner hit send, than the osprey took off. Oh well, was there for a few minutes.
Good Thursday Morning Suzanne, Sharon, Norma, Vicky and Watchers.
Sure is "windy" out there gust to 45-50 mph.
Sharon if the eagles are that close. Maybe you should just try weekend rides and one might just pop out in front of you like happened to me. ( : You know those people don't have "you eagle eyes"..
SHARON---'THE CHARLESTON GAZETTE'--3/18/08--SECTION C---(big write up with large pics)---Check there---ARTICLE---"AN EAGLE ENIGMA"---Hope you can find it!!---If not--w/mail!!----MARVELOUS WRITE UP!!
Up and off our chicks wow they are getting big... awwwww feeding
SHARON---Remember 1st year on here----you had mentioned that you had gone to the BLUESTONE LAKE looking for an EAGLE!!!
MORNING LOVELY DANA!!!----WINDY here too!!----But BELLE seems to be taking care of the "CREW"---Aren't they SPUNKY little things???
Finally a bite for the little one, shew and I seen another bite. It just can't seem to stretch its poor little neck that far out. Before the other two get the bites. It is getting some though. ( :
Now the baby is getting more oh boy Mom/Dad moved around towards it. That's better for it to be fed.....boy I can breath now hee hee
FOGGY at ME SITE---WIND HOWLING!!
CHECK out a 3/19 video---located in the "COMMENTS" section!!---Pair are there 'movin' sticks!!---GOOD VIDEO!
Norma I thought I was going to have panic attacks. Waiting for that little one to get fed. Suzanne I'm sorry about the way they have the refresh cam going. Has Steven said anything about it?
Ok parent now moving into nest cup wiggle wiggle pulling from fluff in going to keep them babies warm
BC NEST----EAGLE
AWWW! DANA----Don't you remember how we all worried about 'lil' SPUNKY?----I think we even spoiled him some---you think? ho!

Spring is here!
Our three eaglets must be having a party down under - adult having difficult time getting comfy!
Checking out lots emails & other cams.
Good Morning, everyone. The first day of spring is foggy and wet for me. It is supposed to rain most of the day, but that is better than snow.!
Check out the huge goose on the osprey cam in CO!
MORNIN' ANNE!!!---Some folks have said the 'VA LADY' has two eggs---but not sure!!---w/let you know if I find out!!!---DON'T FORGET YOUR EGGS!! ho!---ENJOY--
Norma Baby owls are in the CO box. The first egg hatched the afternoon of March 13 after 34 days of incubation, and the second egg sometime during the morning of March 15. We have about eight weeks now to watch them grow before fledging in early May.
Mama Cali also has 3 new little Hooties. They hide under her & peek out - love watching them.
COOL! SUZANNE!!!!----I love that site---They have everything there!!!
HAPPY SPRING EVVERYBODY! chilly 41° out there but the sun is shining brightly:) It is windy with gusts around 10-15 mph. 82 and sunny in the GH:) IF I disapear it's because my junky computer died:(
Good Spring Morning to you Jo ( :
Megan Happy Spring Morning to you too. Sorry your have computer troubles. Didn't you just buy that baby? Where did you buy it at?
MORNIN' JO!---Thanks!---The pixes there show 2 eggs-----Must be an old feed, etc. I am seeing!
Had it for two years, Dana. Had to replace the motherboard after only one year. Having major issues again, I would never reccomend an emachine to anyone. Mine is a lemon, read that lots of others have had the same problems.
Suzanne which cam is that? The one I thought it was says it is down....
Megan what is "emachine"?
THE PA (RACHEL CARSON) FALCON 2008 SITE'S will open---3/21----Have seen several FACLONS there this week!!
wvgal_dana I just did and it
tells me that it can't be displayed
Dave
Still searching for Co Osprey nest??
Colorado Xcel Energy, Dana. Osprey cam. Goose is now just sitting there. All comfy.
Dana - emachine is the brand of computer
Here it is, Dana. It is on the Xcel Energy page.
http://birdcam.xcelenergy.com/osprey.html
Dana, emachines are inexpensive and apparently unreliable computers owned by Gateway.
Scarface is sitting in the snow and getting snowed on again!
WHOA SUNSHINE!!-----If you disappear---it won't be the computer----YOU PROBABLY WILL HAVE BEEN BLOWN AWAY IN THE WIND!! ho!
Thanks Suzanne got it...almost looks like nest is too small for that goose lol
I didn't know they were made by Gateway
Thanks also Deb
Thanks Megan and Paula for explaining about emachines. Megan was it really much cheaper buying an emachine?
HELEN---Are you having EASTER EGGS at your home or are you all going over to MATTIE & MOLLIE'S EGG PATCH?-----Wish I could see my little "EGG HUNTERS"---Maybe next year!! ho!
Norma, we will be going to my S-I L'S,up in Braddock Heights, right next to Jo's development....
They weren't originally, Gateway bought them in 2004, Acer bought Gateway in 2007, I think. They had a good record for w ahile, I like the computer and the way it operates, but they apparently don't use good quality components.
MORNIN' DEB!!---Did SPRING BURST into SD this a.m.??----BEAUTIFUL SUN here! --- BIG WINDS too!
Norma, sweetie, Mattie is Sharon's niece.....my sweeties are Maggie and Molly, will be with them tomorrow and Saturday, their parents are going to the NCAA tournament tomorrow.
HELEN---That sounds GOOD--dinner with (S-I-L) & dessert with JO & FAMILY!!----(took me months to figure out what D-I-L was)---I am a bit SLOW!!
Lots of robins out in the yard
How soon do you think the Cherry Blossoms will bloom in DC...
my real player just shut down,,,
Good Spring Windy Morning to you Mits ( : I did remember that you and your sister are getting with the girls. That should be a lot of fun. I know you just adore them.
ok got it back up
SORRY--HELEN!!----I thought that was what I typed!!---I am not only slow---I am 'not with the program' today!!---ho!
By the way have we been given any reason from Steven. As to why the "refresh cam" is way beyond 30 seconds? Due to fact that a lot of our watchers can not due to dial up get our live feed.
Mark your calendars: the best time to see Washington’s famous cherry blossoms will be between March 27 and April 3, according to Robert DeFeo, the chief horticulturist for the National Park Service. The annual Cherry Blossom Festival runs from March 29 to April 13, so the blossoms could open before the festival even starts this year.
Jo, someone here at work said they should be blooming and at their peak somewhere between the 23rd and 27th.
and another thing, where is the color on the cam??? I thought we could see green trees last year.
LOL, ok, Helen, my guys here told me a few days early. But they are saying the cherry blossoms are very early this year!
MEGAN---You know it doesn't seem to matter what kind of computer you have----you are bound to find a LEMON sometime!!----Sorry you had to get one-----
Ain't that the truth, Norma:)
in reality, Suzanne, they are not...they like cool sunny weather, too windy and they blow right off, too hot and they don't last as long.
CHERRY BLOSSOMS---Any time now!!--Aren't they BEAUTIFUL?---they just don't hang around long enough!!!!
SUZANNE---Do you get any EASTER vacation?---Is Fri. a holiday for you?
2008 Peak Bloom Forecast: March 27-April 3
2008 Blooming Period Forecast: March 26-April 9
CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL DATES: March 29-April 13.
The Peak Bloom Date and Blooming Period
The Peak Bloom Date is defined as the day in which 70 percent of the blossoms of the Yoshino Cherry (Prunus x yedoensis) trees are open. The date when the Yoshino cherry blossoms reach peak bloom varies from year to year, depending on weather conditions. Cherry Blossom Festival dates are set based on the average date of blooming (April 4), but nature is not always cooperative. Unseasonably warm and/or cool temperatures have resulted in the Yoshino cherries reaching peak bloom as early as March 15 (1990) and as late as April 18 (1958).
The Blooming Period is defined as the period that starts when 20% of the blossoms are open and ends when the petals fall and the leaves appear. The Blooming period starts several days before the Peak Bloom Date and can last as long as 14 days; however, frost or high temperatures combined with wind and/or rain can shorten this period.

Norma Are you going to Shepherdstown for Easter or staying home & baking a ham? Suzanne
do you go over to your sister's?
Dana Do you have company coming in?
Just wishing that you all have family and/or friends to share the holdiay with you.
Feeding time again!
Preaching Meteorologist AND Feature Cherry Blossom Reporter!! YEAH!
Is that an osprey at BWO?
SD ZOO---Beautiful shots of GAO GAO----Large pic!---Wish they would do that with PRECIOUS!!!
Megan I bet your just going right up the road for Easter Dinner at your m-i-l.... Are you taking desserts?
I'm well-rounded, Sharon, and I mean that in the most literal sense:)
Yes Deb I just hit refresh and now I can see the "Rest of the feathers"
lol...Mema knows all, actually I'm just walking next door to MIL's -no car necessary. Dessert..maybe, would be chocolate of course.
Deb - I didn't forget you - Where will you be hiding your easter eggs?
Are you traveling to see family?
At first you couldn't see the head, just the black bird with a little white underneath. Now turn around, so we can see you, osprey.
Lisa @ BW has given us a new Osprey cam at Hilton Head SC. Eggs in the nest. Really good view......
We should have STEVEN climb up & put a RED RIBBON around NO.1'S NECK---BLUE on NO.2---& on NO. 3 a WHITE RIBBON!!----ho!
BETTER YET--PAINT A NO.
love the new osprey cam in Hilton Head that Lisa gave us.
No, most of my family is too far away to visit for the weekend. Colorado and California. My sister is coming here for the day. (she is not a cook, so I do all holidays)
Megan I ordered a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting...
Yummy
BBL- computer is going completely haywire, feel certain it will shut itself off at any moment, another unadvertised feature, once it does that, one never knows when it will start again or what new features will show up once it does. Right now the graphics on screen are jumping around so much it makes me seasick. Going back out to work in GH- have a great day everyone:)
Baby is getting fed!
Sounds good, JO!
Sharon Are you staying home for Easter? Does Mattie & Justin still hunt eggs - My grandkids expect to find quarters inside the plastic ones but thank goodness they think they are too old to hunt - so I have them hide the eggs for their parents!
They are the "big" kids... No quarters either!
JO---Checked that out this a.m.---HILTON HEAD!!----You can hear her/him call too!!
Beverly will be cooking our Easter dinner. We do still hide eggs but the kids end up fighting if one finds more than the other. Andrew is really good at hiding them now.
Jo for years now we take Mom out. There are usually people we know and she knows. Whichever place we go. She enjoys it and we make it her Easter present. (so hard to buy for) I think she loves going through the "no no you all shouldn't do it ...." lol
Sharon you told me once that Beverly is a really good cook. ( :
Norma, no time off for Good Friday. Bummer. Jo, no not going to sisters, just chilling like every Sunday, and the usual Sunday housework.
It would be cool if Steve could tape some of the audio and put it on the website. I don't know if I've heard a lot of eaglet calls.
Connecticut Osprey cam is finally back on! Tide is high!
yes, Lisa, like the new osprey site you gave us, you can hear what an osprey sounds like....they have that on the zoo sites, you can hear what some of the animals sound like and get ringtones for your cell phone
HEY!!---INDIANA DAVE---CNN---LIVE--"CLINTON" in TERRE HAUTE, IN----"OBAMA" in CHARLESTON, WV---UC (U-CHARLESTON) on now!!
Fly in at our nest. Not sure think it was Liberty. Standing back at 12 o'clock area.
He (I think) just flew off from same spot.
Both, our nest
SUZANNE---PINK FLAMINGOS are out enjoying sunshine!!---Those DUCKS just blow my mind!!!---Wonder how fast they really swim!! ho!
my cam must be really behind, only see 1
That is a very good idea, Lisa!
Us local Momsters are ready to do a
Sit-In at NCTC! lol For Real!
lol I missed them both in nest also Mits.
NORMA, sorry I did not answer your question about the hooties, I left, but saw that Jo did answer. I saw those hooties, that is how I knew!
Yes, DANA, they are GRAND boys! They are 7 and 3 and SO MUCH FUN!!!
I'll have the 2 year old here Easter.
JO, did you say chocolate cake with peanut butter icing? I'll hop a plane and be over! lol
It was Lib that came in...he landed on the left side of the nest with a fish...then flew to the back of the nest with it.
I'll let you know how it turns out, Lolly. I just love the combination of peanut butter & chocolate - whether it be cake or candy!
WOW!!---OREGON NEST---Has more SNOW than yesterday!!---GUESS SPRING HASN'T REACHED OREGON---ho!
Feathers are really getting ruffled
today!
I just realized I never said contragulations to Genie and Candy for their guess for #3 chick born on March 17th. Congtragulations gals.
I was wondering if it was just a grocery drop!
Mits - My cam was behind...all caught up now!
I saw them both in the nest. Which ever one flew in, walked to the back of the nest. Looked for a minute the one on the nest was going to get up, but only wiggled. Other took off! Wish I could tell them apart. I've tried!
Jo you can bake me one choc with peanut butter icing and I pay you and money can be donated to NCTC ( : yummie yummie
I've never seen or had choc. cake with peanut butter icing, but it certainly sounds good! Our favorite ice cream around here is peanut butter cup ice cream.
Eagle off nest at Norfolk. He/She really likes that limb. Get on those eggs!!!!!!!!!
LOLLY--I have a hard time telling them apart if they are separated---If they are together---easy---BELLE is larger than LIBERTY!!---but just fun to watch!!
I am leaving again! Things to do, places to go, grand sons to play with!
Fluff up those babies mama!
I LOVE peanut butter too!!---I often eat it for breakfast!!!
The puleston osprey cam is on also.
When you all get a free minute or two, please watch the video that Geula sent to us through Momsters.
You will not believe how beautiful that ballet is! So beautiful it will bring tears!
Norma lol I ate a banana this morning with peanut butter on each bite!
I need to make some phone calls....
BBL
SUZANNE!!!----HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY HOME ON THIS LOVELY SPRING DAY!!!------LOVE PATS TO GYPSY & FRIENDS!!
And there are 2 osprey there now, Paula, can aslo hear geese flying by

Ch. 7--DC
Feeding our nest
I do wish they would be more considerate of us, and not cast a shadow while feeding the bobbles.
INDY FALCOM SITE----2 EGGS
Sunshine is nice, but cloudy days are better for seeing the eaglets :)
Ya know, it is like they knew this bad weather was coming, with all the wind and kept digging that cup deeper. Blows my mind!!
Nice long feeding
ATLANTA CAM!!!---BUTA BUTA is alone in the inside play room---up on top of pyramid---sound asleep!!
"Bless her heart"---One can see LUN LUN through the glass door---She stops & looks in---now & then!!!
bbl
yes, Norma, got an e-mail and call from zoo yesterday a.m. about the incident, everthing is fine
Fly-in, both in our nest.
Brought in a big fish!
Guess the fishing is good today!!
Another whopper!
Wow! nice fish
LIb fed the eaglets a little with the fish he had dropped off earlier!
hit the mother load with that fish.....off to do a thousand errands...later
Belle is back
And gone again!
She was eating some of the fish at the front of the nest
That big fish is still alive....Lib is taking care of it!
He moved it to the back of the nest!
Live feed froze - went off - I just restarted & it was fine.......
Mine is good...
