OOH!---It is hard to watch the EAGLETS feeding---with oldest being greedy and appears to be getting the most food----That seems unfair---but it is the survival of the fittest EAGLET!!!----BELLE is attempting to be fair!!!
At BWE - being that the cam refreshes I feel certain that we just miss seeing the food going to the eaglets. A lot can take place in those seconds before refreshing.
Darn Little Bit had made his way up out of the nest some. Back down trying to stretch that little head. Come on Little Bit ...pecker Pearl leave him alone!! You get your belly full soon I hope then Little Bit will get plenty...
Oh, I don't believe that Piggy Pecking Pearl is up there getting more food, while the others go without. Little Bit is trying again. Maybe some will come her way.
JILL---Just found your question!!-----FLOODING in central WV---CALHOUN--BRAXTON---GILMER, ETC. ---can't remember them all!!----where are they working on Rt. 50?
I can't believe that I am sitting here and watching the unjustice of this feeding. Finally I just say #2 get a bite. DYea Little Bit finally got a bite too.
Yes, see that, Tiny will get his, don't worry:) He just waits for a while, laying back to avoid the fighting at first, then he makes his move for food after their bellies have gotten a little full.
i just got back from fixing myself a tuna fish salad sandwich for lunch. Got hungry watching the chicks eating. Pray tell how did the parent get all those chicks under her at once? Wonders will never cease. I guess they were so full, they dropped into the egg cup and fell faaaasssst asleep. :)
I just went and sprinkled bird feed under the feeders. There are so many birds out there, they are having troubles getting to the feeders. Now maybe the black birds won't scare off the little birds.
The University of SD women play in the NCAA Division II Final Four tonight. They play Delta State, the number one seed. I am not normally a USD fan, but it is in my town, so tonight I will be one.
It is going good, Danelle. Everyone is fed and resting. Even the Blackwater eaglets have been fed quite a few times today! Maine eagles are spending a lot of time in the nest today, maybe thinking of laying an egg soon!
Hi, New Watcher!! Welcome. BWE stands for Blackwater Eagle cam. You'll also see BWO, Blackwater Osprey cam. They are at Cambridge, MD, on the Eastern Shore. You can access by typing in Friends of Blackwater NWR, I think.
I understand. I'm at work and it's a slow day today, so I've been watching alot. Tomorrow will be a different story unfortunately. I think I'm hooked on the eagles!
Neweaglewatcher I'll call you New also if that is ok. Don't worry about asking questions around here. I fixed everyone when I started watching cause I have already ask all the dumb questions lol So none of yours are dumb ( : Just ask away...
New are you near Shepherdstown? Don't tell your exact address on here. People watch and read from all over.
I am from the Spring Mills area....flying time for Belle and LIberty from their nest for them is 10 minutes. I don't have wings so it takes me longer to get to their nest hee hee
How cool! I live in the Spring Mills area also. Working in Martinsburg. I am shocked there are people on here from so far. Also, surprised I never knew this existed until a couple days ago when someone wrote in the journal about it.
Hi New- I've returned! When you get a chance bring up beakspeak.com - It will totally blow your mind as to just how many different sites are availabe. Like Dana said - ask away. Next get together at NCTC we'll hope to see you since you are close by!
On one of our get togethers one of the gals from Illinois stayed in the Economy Lodge and on another visit one of the gals from California stayed there.
Jo there is a section in the Martinsburg Journal. Where people can call in and have written their ideas and thoughts about things. It is call the "Journal Junction" section. I must have missed reading it New because I try to read that section. Must have been good though for you to look up the site here.
I was reading the Martinsburg Journal, but it wasn't an article. someone just wrote in the "journal junction" recommending this website. so I checked it out and was really impressed. Just didn't know this existed so close to home.
I think it was in yesterday or Tuesdays paper. I don't remember. It's not too often that people write in positive things to the journal junction, so it kinda stands out when someone says something nice.
Well, thanks everyone for your hospitality! I am signing off, as my work day is over. I would love to bring the eaglecam up on my home computer if I have time (home life is much busier than work). I think my son would really enjoy watching this. Hope to be back soon!
Jo no that wouldn't be what Bob was talking about writing. This is just a place for people to complain A LOT and then there is some smart people that call in nice remarks. They keep it short very short. No names just area you are calling from.
I just had a very unexpected pleasant phone call! Sandra called! Yes, she does have the live feed up and also is watching some of the other sites. She sounded just wonderful. She has therapy over at the hospital - Tom takes her over. She said to tell everyone Hello and how thankful she is for us keeping her in our thoughts & prayers
That is great news, Jo, that Sandy is feeling better.
I thought it looked like impressions in the snow at Oregon. It was supposed to quit snowing here around noon, wonder when it really will quit. At least the ground is warm enough that it is mostly melting on the streets and sidewalks.
Thanks Steven and Techs for getting the refreshing cam up again! We really appreciate it and I know Suzanne especially will be glad to see it tomorrow morning!!!
Is anyone else having a problem with getting the sound? Other files play OK on Real Player, but I can no longer hear our nest...:(
Mits....The freezing up started about the time we got sound....I AM NOT complaining. I love my live feed, and I love the sound. :) I am sorry you have the problem too, but happy to know it is not my computer.
Love it on the live feed when the eagle finally moves its head!!! I have been having some sound problems also - but then I haven't mentioned it because you all know I am deft! Thanks Steve - So glad the 30sec refresh cam was fixable - I know others depend on it!
Shaw is Osbourn is Sandra..... She hasn't used the Shaw sign in for some time.
In about 6 more comments there is going to be another SPLIT... Then we will be the NEWEST and have to go back to the OLDEST to see the comments from this morning.
Thanks for the heads up on the 30 second cam...last I checked it was still down, glad to see it working.
I have had to restart once or twice today also...usually runs without any problems here...thought it was me! Sounds like it was they way for everyone today.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 570 Newer› Newest»Looks like #2 is trying to butt the pecker out of the way!
Where is the adult looking
I wonder if Bob went to Blackwater and put fish down on the ground by the nest hee hee
Belle will take care of them now.
Hello Everyone! Looks like lunchtime. Hope Tiny gets a share.
WHOO HOO IN FLEW YOU KNOW WHO!
you could see the other one fly by before the landing
OOH!---It is hard to watch the EAGLETS feeding---with oldest being greedy and appears to be getting the most food----That seems unfair---but it is the survival of the fittest EAGLET!!!----BELLE is attempting to be fair!!!
do we need a long landing pad?
That wasn't very graceful!
parent arrived and flew to front of nest, then to the back
Think we have a fresh duck. See feathers a-flying.
Boy she is really tearing into the food to get the fur or feathers off. She doesn't fool around.
Hello Naturenut! I do like your panda pics on your blog.......They're our guys.
That! was definately INCOMING
She seems to be having a hard time pulling the meat off!!
Feathers flying everywhere....
I remember..... SPUNKY used to help
the adult tear the feathers off the bird.... Do you?
Never saw such a hurry up & defeather the bird before! lol
Push her bac, push her back, push her waaaaaay back Little Bit. Don't let her get in front of you this time.
or fur flying everywhere
GREAT POOP SHOOT
Oh a poop shoot. Getting cleaned out for more food to come in. :)
sounds like she is eating Rice Krispies, snap, crackle, pop!
At BWE - being that the cam refreshes I feel certain that we just miss seeing the food going to the eaglets. A lot can take place in those seconds before refreshing.
ouch, that had to hurt.
Darn Little Bit had made his way up out of the nest some. Back down trying to stretch that little head. Come on Little Bit ...pecker Pearl leave him alone!! You get your belly full soon I hope then Little Bit will get plenty...
I have to go dang it....let me know who get fed after Pearl the pecker....and if Little Bit gets any ok later
I'm going to fix my lunch......
BBL
CANDY!!---You must have been a cheer leader!!---push 'em back---push 'em back---push 'em way back!!
COOL!
Oh, I don't believe that Piggy Pecking Pearl is up there getting more food, while the others go without. Little Bit is trying again. Maybe some will come her way.
I don't think #1 EAGLET is a female----do you all?
Pecting Pearl has both of the younger ones in submission. That birds a bully!!!!
Pearl's gut has got to be stuffed by now.
Eagle at Kent 1.
Middle child is getting a few bites, but everytime she gets a bite, she quickly lowers her head!
JILL---Just found your question!!-----FLOODING in central WV---CALHOUN--BRAXTON---GILMER, ETC. ---can't remember them all!!----where are they working on Rt. 50?
#1 pecker is really being a bully today!
I can't believe that I am sitting here and watching the unjustice of this feeding. Finally I just say #2 get a bite. DYea Little Bit finally got a bite too.
Little Bit is getting some now.
eagle looks beautiful at KENT
Okay, I am getting mad! Give that baby a bite!!!!!!
Eagle gone from Kent.
THANKS DEB!!---Doesn't he/she look REGAL!!!----noticed the snow earlier!!!
Whack! Poor Tiny just got a wing to the head from middle child!
I heard that
Telling Pecking Pearl to get off his back.........
Back at Kent.
I think Momma is trying to give it to the baby, but Pearl keeps jumping up there!!!
Remember! We are watching an uncensored view of nature!
You could see the eggs at CO. I had to change can to could. I wasn't fast enough.
Yes, see that, Tiny will get his, don't worry:) He just waits for a while, laying back to avoid the fighting at first, then he makes his move for food after their bellies have gotten a little full.
Making me hungry off to get some lunch...bbialw
The length of time for a feeding to get all 3 bellies filled is when Belle starts to think like
"Why didn't I stop with egg #2"
lol
Good one Jo! lol
Norma - I do think that #1 is a female
TeenyWeeny is doing ok getting the food. Yeah!
Wondering when Middy will get in on it.
Poop shot!
That's all kids!
Whoa! Don't need that branch on my back.........Crib rail?
NAP TIME
BBL
Okay, could somebody start sensoring it for us wienies! :)
I was gone for a while, scanned the blogs really quickly....sounds like our BW babies got fed well this morning?!! Right???
i just got back from fixing myself a tuna fish salad sandwich for lunch. Got hungry watching the chicks eating. Pray tell how did the parent get all those chicks under her at once? Wonders will never cease. I guess they were so full, they dropped into the egg cup and fell faaaasssst asleep. :)
I just went and sprinkled bird feed under the feeders. There are so many birds out there, they are having troubles getting to the feeders. Now maybe the black birds won't scare off the little birds.
Lolly, it sure looked like they got fed this morning. We think more than one time. It is hard to tell on the 30 second refresh.
Maine female eagle is on the nest. (at least they are pretty sure it is the female)
Those heads sure popped up fast! No adults on nest. Heads back down asleep!
Ok, Moms gone let's fight!
both parents at BWE
I guess I am going to have to go to that sycamore tree and teach Pecking Pearl some manners.
Both parents were just at BWE; now only one.
Nice poop shoot just now by Pearl.
Looks like a feeding. :) There might be hope for those parents yet.
parent is eating leftovers at BW
Hey MITS What did the new parent just bring into the nest. Is that part of a fish or what?
Beautiful pic of both parents at BWE.
BWE I mean. Now the parent on left is covering it up.
There talons are already so big at BWE. I saw that, too, Candy, but couldn't tell what it was. Looks like Chick is coming for food.
looks like both parents eating the leftovers from this a.m., was not watching a minute ago
It must be food as the other chick is coming over to parent and other chick. :):)
one chick looks like it is being fed BW
MITS There is something underneath the eagle on the left; looked like part of a fish he brought in.
That is the exact spot some leftovers have been in since this a.m., if something was just brought in it is tinier than this a.m.'s bounty
It wasn't there a minute ago before the fly in. It looked like a flat headless greenish fish. Who knows. We can hope for the best.
off to watch Tai Shan for awile, he is running all over the yard
I agree,Candy, it was bigger than the leftovers from this morning. I wish I would have looked sooner.
well, I guess she ate it all, because I only see the MT space where the leftovers were, but I guess my eyes aren't as good.
Now we can see what is left of dinner.
Ok, I can't tell if it is leftovers or new. Looks a lot like the fish in Lisa's picture from this morning.
at least the parents have been more visible today.
Right Mits, they sure have.
finally got over to see all the falcons and hawk nests on the NBG site
I just looked at the PA falcon. It is in the nest and looking at the cam.
Both eagles at Maine nest, eating!
Dad off and on and off the Maine nest....chasing something away?
and on and off again in Maine....Mom sure is enjoying the meal
OUr chiklets are snoozing
Parent back our nest
Looks like no one's really hungry--too sleepy.
Tiny did a poop shoot!
Big ol Poop shoot by teeny
A little nibbling going on now.
Look at the full crop on the BWE chick!
Chicks have finally woken up for a feeding...
Parent at BWE - can barely see their head
Middle chick say Yuk! I don't like what's for lunch today!
Then he takes a bite!
Got back in time to see Tiny just got 2 bites. Oh Boy More please///
Poop shoot by #2 chick
I go do dishes and missed the Poop Festival!
Boombs away
It has mostly been all Tiny eating for the last few minutes. He is really chomping it down. hee hee
Even Tiny quit and they are full bellies and down for a nap....Mom is cleaning the nest bowl up.
Did you see those fat little eaglets topple over? Too funny!
The University of SD women play in the NCAA Division II Final Four tonight. They play Delta State, the number one seed. I am not normally a USD fan, but it is in my town, so tonight I will be one.
Three eggs at the PA falcon cam.
Mom laying in the nest bowl at Maine
The falcon went right back on the eggs, darn. No time to let everyone know, so you could see them.
I just notice my cam was about 8 minutes behind, eggs are visible.
Mom up, up & away. Naptime for bobbles.
Checked BWO awhile ago & eagle was on osprey platform & saw the pic of owl there last night. No wonder ospreys don't want to build a nest!
Dad flew into the Maine nest with another stick, Mom moved up to a branch to get out of the way.
Sorry to sound silly, but I've been trying to figure this out. Can someone tell me what BWE stands for?
Good afternoon ya'll! Just now getting online, and it's about time for me to head home! How's everyone doing?
Not silly at all. We call the eagles nest. BWE for Blackwater eagle and the osprey nest BWO for Blackwater osprey.
It is going good, Danelle. Everyone is fed and resting. Even the Blackwater eaglets have been fed quite a few times today! Maine eagles are spending a lot of time in the nest today, maybe thinking of laying an egg soon!
Hi, New Watcher!! Welcome. BWE stands for Blackwater Eagle cam. You'll also see BWO, Blackwater Osprey cam. They are at Cambridge, MD, on the Eastern Shore.
You can access by typing in Friends of Blackwater NWR, I think.
Thanks for the explanations. I assumed everyone was watching the same place I am, which is in Shepherdstown.
Thanks for the update Deb. I appreciate it!
Parent at BWE
NEW - we watch all the nests! Of course, NCTC we watch the most...but keep our eyes on all of them
Time to go home. Talk to ya'll tomorrow!
I understand. I'm at work and it's a slow day today, so I've been watching alot. Tomorrow will be a different story unfortunately. I think I'm hooked on the eagles!
It isn't hard to get hooked on the eagles, then all of a sudden you are watching ospreys and owls and falcons!!
See you from home Danelle.
Neweaglewatcher I'll call you New also if that is ok. Don't worry about asking questions around here. I fixed everyone when I started watching cause I have already ask all the dumb questions lol So none of yours are dumb ( : Just ask away...
New are you near Shepherdstown? Don't tell your exact address on here. People watch and read from all over.
I'm in Martinsburg. Thanks for understanding 'cuz I'll probably have more questions before I get the hang of this.
I am from the Spring Mills area....flying time for Belle and LIberty from their nest for them is 10 minutes. I don't have wings so it takes me longer to get to their nest hee hee
Lots of our Eaglet_Momsters are from the Martinsburg area.
Although I would say more are from other areas of WV and other states. Plus even from the UK. ( :
We have one even from Israel yep we do ( :
I see chicks moving out from the front of Mom/Dad I think Mom some. lol
How cool! I live in the Spring Mills area also. Working in Martinsburg. I am shocked there are people on here from so far. Also, surprised I never knew this existed until a couple days ago when someone wrote in the journal about it.
Parent eagle just flew into Tesoro must have brought food. Cause Tess and Oro are going after the talcons.
That was gonna be my next question. How do you know if it's Mom or Dad at the nest? Is there a way to tell the difference?
Hi New- I've returned!
When you get a chance bring up
beakspeak.com - It will totally blow your mind as to just how many different sites are availabe. Like Dana said - ask away. Next get together at NCTC we'll hope to see you since you are close by!
On one of our get togethers one of the gals from Illinois stayed in the Economy Lodge and on another visit one of the gals from California stayed there.
New - To which journal are you referring. The Martinsburg or Shepherdstown..... We can sometimes bring them up online..Would love to
see the article
Jo there is a section in the Martinsburg Journal. Where people can call in and have written their ideas and thoughts about things. It is call the "Journal Junction" section.
I must have missed reading it New because I try to read that section. Must have been good though for you to look up the site here.
I was reading the Martinsburg Journal, but it wasn't an article. someone just wrote in the "journal junction" recommending this website. so I checked it out and was really impressed. Just didn't know this existed so close to home.
Sure wish I had time to do this more often, but today has been a rare day. I may not be back for a while. Plus, the boss may not appreciate it.
Dana - maybe this is the article that Bob (the paddler on the Potomac) was telling us about.
Be sure to join us whenever you can.
I wish Steve would look in on us and
start a new thread. This one is slowing down a good deal.
I think it was in yesterday or Tuesdays paper. I don't remember. It's not too often that people write in positive things to the journal junction, so it kinda stands out when someone says something nice.
Welcome, New, I am a watcher from South Dakota! I just started watching eagle cams last summer and joined in this group last year in the fall.
Well, thanks everyone for your hospitality! I am signing off, as my work day is over. I would love to bring the eaglecam up on my home computer if I have time (home life is much busier than work). I think my son would really enjoy watching this. Hope to be back soon!
A new message from Lisa at BWE. There are more pictures, too.
03/27/08:
Thursday was a red-letter day. Quite a few fish deliveries, and both parents helping to feed the chicks.
Nice to see the parents around a lot at BWE today....
Heading home catch ya later!
Jo no that wouldn't be what Bob was talking about writing. This is just a place for people to complain A LOT and then there is some smart people that call in nice remarks. They keep it short very short. No names just area you are calling from.
Ok New is was nice meeting you and hope to see you join in with us again....
I read some of the past Journal Junction remarks.. I understand what you mean about the column.
I just opened up the Maine nest and there are imprints in the snow. I wonder if the eagles have been there.
I just had a very unexpected pleasant phone call! Sandra called!
Yes, she does have the live feed up and also is watching some of the other sites. She sounded just wonderful. She has therapy over at the hospital - Tom takes her over.
She said to tell everyone Hello and how thankful she is for us keeping her in our thoughts & prayers
DEB, think someone mentioned both eagles had been there sometime this afternoon
Those BW eaglets are being fed again.
I love the little pine twig in the nest with them...
that is great, Jo......
soooooo relieved to see that;):)
That is great news, Jo, that Sandy is feeling better.
I thought it looked like impressions in the snow at Oregon. It was supposed to quit snowing here around noon, wonder when it really will quit. At least the ground is warm enough that it is mostly melting on the streets and sidewalks.
Oh Jo "sweet words to my ears" hee hee HELLO Sweet SANDRA ( :
I'm sorry Deb, thought you were talking about the Maine nest....duh!!!
ok just looked back and you did mention prints at Maine nest, Deb
ANNE IF YOU SEE THIS WRITE ME BACK
lazy lumps don't want to get up to eat.
I think our parent eagle is asleep on its feet.
I guess I have the Maine nest on my mind, hoping they lay an egg soon!
ok Dana, I see the parent feeding the chicks, what do you see???
just saw my 1st poop shoot from #2
I see feeding also.
little one just woke up...
Both eagles have been in Oregon nest, I found these pictures at the Maine Forum:

Thanks for your comments Deb & Mits
I restarted mine and it's ok now
Thought I was having slow motion coverage...

Jo, I have had to restart media player frequently. It freezes up!
Oh, Jo, a telephone call from our Sandy Shaw. I miss her. Hello Sandy. Huggs donna
Hello Miss Donna, the BW chicks are doing better today:)......Lolly mine freezes alot too
Thanks Steven and Techs for getting the refreshing cam up again! We really appreciate it and I know Suzanne especially will be glad to see it tomorrow morning!!!
Is anyone else having a problem with getting the sound? Other files play OK on Real Player, but I can no longer hear our nest...:(
Is Shaw and Osbourn the same person?
Iris make sure the button on your real paler is tuned on....someone else was having that problem recently
that's player, not paler
Mits....The freezing up started about the time we got sound....I AM NOT complaining. I love my live feed, and I love the sound. :) I am sorry you have the problem too, but happy to know it is not my computer.
It is warm here today. I have the house open. Can not tell if it is sound of birds on the computer or outside! lol
same thing here, Lolly.....
I would love to be outside working in the yard, but I am not feeling well. Caught something from my husband! YUK!
Love it on the live feed when the eagle finally moves its head!!!
I have been having some sound problems also - but then I haven't mentioned it because you all know I am deft!
Thanks Steve - So glad the 30sec refresh cam was fixable - I know others depend on it!
Shaw is Osbourn is Sandra..... She hasn't used the Shaw sign in for some time.
In about 6 more comments there is
going to be another SPLIT... Then we will be the NEWEST and have to go back to the OLDEST to see the comments from this morning.
Sounds and view at our nest this evening are wonderful!
I have been watch PH closely since the eggs should be hatching soon. Is is dark all the time for everyone else? Wonder why?
I have a loud hum in my RP....
Thanks for the heads up on the 30 second cam...last I checked it was still down, glad to see it working.
I have had to restart once or twice today also...usually runs without any problems here...thought it was me! Sounds like it was they way for everyone today.
Wind is picking up!!
I have a hum, too, but he picture is great!
It's still not on it's 30 second beat, but I guess it's better than nothing...wonder what the issue is there?
I know Steve is trying to get it fixed...
I have a hum too, but also birdies singing!
