I can usually tell if I see them up, but once they are down in the nest, forget it. The nest is so deep, they get lost in it. I will remember the wiggle hints.
According to the list from Judy, the eggs in OK should be hatching soon, too.
Paula, did not know if you received my last email. I had an appointment and was gone for a couple of hours. But, yes, we are using the correct address, no, we do not have a firewall. Considering calling a GEEK tomorrow.
info from Reese Lukei: about NGB pair- Today about 11:00am another eagle landed near the new nest at NBG. The female adult followed the bird and landed in the nest. Looks to me like a male Basic III transitional eagle. It stayed around the nest for about an hour. The male showed up about 11:30 and about 11:50 the two adults chased the visitor off. About 2:00 as I was leaving NBG I got a call that the two adults had returned. I wanted to see if the transitional eagle came back - it did not - so I turned around. Joe Foreman and I were watching the two adults soaring over the north end of the runway when a 737 jet took off. The female was right in the planes flight path and dove at the very last minute. The plane came within 100 feet of the eagles
That runway was where NBG's female's first mate was killed a few years ago... Dangerous place and at that time their nest was at the end of the runway.
And 7:15 was about the time that Lib left and Belle came back.
:):) and they tell us humans to stay away from the nests so we don't scare them....all of us together don't make the noise a 737 does....up at the Maine nest, I hear dogs barking, car doors slamming, think I even hear guns at times....
Megan, it wasn't easy to see if you weren't looking directly at the nest. Outgoing just popped up and the side and jumped. It literally looked like it took a flying leap towards the ground. Other one was immediatly in the nest moving things.
Paula-how can I extend my viewing time more than 30 minutes.
Lolly I have not yet received your email to my knowledge. I realize it will come into my junk mail because of not having your address... I hope I didn't delete it in error.... Want to send again? Give me a clue if it is aol, hotmail, comcast...??
Evening all ... yes Steven we thought there would be some action today too. See Spidey's web blowing and strung across nest. He stay hidden down in the nest. When they were up there fixing the cam probably.
I thought the white thingy to the left of them was an egg shell at first.. Then I saw an egg roll with all 3 much earlier - so I don't know what it was.
Megan when I was on earlier, son was here eating dinner. He asked "What if some kid climbed that tree and stuck his face in the camera, you crazy people would be heard screaming all around the world" I just said "Won't happen the tree is 70 feet in the air" He just shook his head and said "you all are crazy." But he has a point. If something suddenly flew into the camera the screams would be heard around the world. LOL
Holy Moley, No, there's not a chick, but got one late present----THE REAL PLAYER came ON for the first time!!!!! I had searched thru their Help ??s & answers 'til about 3am one night & found nothing that applied. There were some things to check under Tools, but I thought it meant on the 'puter toolbar. I just checked Tools on top of the Player, then Preferences>Internet /Privacy & at bottom it had space to enter your zip code. I put it in. I really think this is for them to find out things from YOUR end. However, then went to File on Player & used the inserted Eagle cam address & it LOADED!!!!! Don't know if this is what fixed it or not, but maybe it can help some others. My machine may stay on all night even tho I'll be at work!!!!
We're watching Idol, too. I keep checking Birds during commercials. Correction on previous note===I won't be at work all night! Meant to say I'll be at work tomorrow, but want to leave Player on so I can check it in AM!
Paula, Love your videos. Don't know how you get them on so fast. Got some surprise osprey shots today & 3/4 of an eagle in the the nest this PM. Haven't dwnlded yet to get a good look. Will let everyone know when they get on this blog.G0o back to Park Sat. Tomorrow I work at a different property where mostly geese and deer roam!(Fox families in the spring! Can't wait.)
I, too, love your videos, Paula. I must have missed your reply about your eaglet on the cloth that is so wonderful. Which eaglet is it. Did you take it. I absolutely love it. I have it right up there with Dana's pink kitty. Sure hope the first egg is fertile and we get a little piece of fluffy soon. mauley
Paula, as my luck would have it, I can see the videos I was here to see in the first place, the ones I didn't see won't open. Figures. Youtube on this computer is sporadic. maybe tomorrow. The two I could watch were great. Wiggle Wiggle .
YAY, Lolly! So glad you're on!!!! I don't know if you got on like I did (my inappropriate "techie" report was about 9:15PM), but if it messes up, I might be whining to Jo in the future. I have been able to see the spider's web blowing - - it does appear on the 30 sec. cam as a line - - don't they know it's NOT Halloween?? LOL Now how about a chicklet??!!
Thx Lolly. I just came back & it's "Timed Out". Has been on for over 2 hours. Don't know if it will come back on, but not fooling w/it tonight. Good night all.....
Nature mine has timed out twice in the last hour or so. About every 20-25 minutes it appears. I thought it was because I change from 30 minutes to 60. I went back and changed the setting back. Will see what happens. This is the first time this has happened to me.
Up for a bathroom break. Was watching Belle. She woke up, looked around, jumped up off the eggs and was watching something with great displeasure. Three times she did wing flaps, not stretches, as if she were trying to chase something off. Then she went back in the egg cup, checked the eggs and wiggled back into the cup. Now she looks like she is on total red alert. I did not get to see all the eggs.
Good morning, world. Morning Sharon if you're still up. See we still don't have a hatching! Bummer! Eagle is sound asleep now, head under wing. BW parent is awake. Oh, back in a sec.
Back, had a problem with one of the doors this morning, and had to wait for someone else to come in. Knew he would know what it was! He did, so good to go. Not bad out, still cold, but no wind, no precipation! 36° in PA, 40° in VA. See we have lots of posts, will have to attempt to see what I missed yesterday. I'm sorry I didn't miss a hatching in our nest! Darn. All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly! Oh, BW parent is back to sleep, so both eagles have head under wings snoozing!
Our nest has had an egg turning, eagle awake and looked around for a bit, then went back to sleep. BW parent also woke up, checked the kids and went back to sleep. Nobody in Maine, Tesoro still too dark, and guess we still don't have an egg in Norfolk. Had a juvie pop in the nest yesterday to say hi to the Mrs, then the juvie left. Cam is up, nobody home. Wonder how long it will stay up today? Oh BW checking kids again. Can't get WDF to open, so can't check the owls, herons or much of anything else. Scarface returned last night about 8pm, Pook's time. NZ Flamingo cams are also down. Ok, back to the ol' grind. AC is on, so time to get my coat on, it's freezing in here. BW chick is peeking out from under parent, can see a little head by eagle's right wing. Ok, never mind, parent left, chicks alone. Geez, it's too cold at this hour! Parent left at 0531.
BW parent just left after watching the kids for a sec. Kids are sleeping. Our eagle was awake, but head went right back under wing again. BW parent back. Must have had to take a potty break.
BW parent is awesome. One chick gets a bite, then the other. She rotates them with each bite. She held back on the incubating for chick #1, and they only hatched a matter of hours apart, so they are really close in size now. Think they hatched about 38 hours apart or so. Feeding over, mom back on babies.
Egg roll our nest, can see all 3eggs clearly. Pic is having a horrible time updating.
Well, Belle just got up and did a little stretching. Thought Lib might be on his way but she just turned the eggs and wiggled back in. All three eggs still intact.
GOOD WEDNESDAY MORNING SUZANNE AND SHARON. Just had the cam come up here at school and got all excited. I thought I saw a brownish spot by the eggs; not yet:( Oh well, the cold weather could possibly put off the hatching for a few days, couldn't it?
GOOD MORNING TO YOU ALSO JOANNE.i MISSED YOU ON HERE EARLIER. I just had to check on our nest before leaving for school. I think if today isn't THE DAY we are going to have some excited expectant ealgemomster parents with the jitters; me included. The waiting is killing all of us. :)
It's 40° now, it's gonna be 53° here today, should be sunny this afternoon. I don't think there is a problem, the problem is we are just impatiently waiting for a chick, cause we just can't wait to see it. Today is day 37- they are right on schedule. egg should hatch today or tomorrow, everything is fine, we have seen how attentive they have been to the eggs. The mighty OZ has spoken....
Morning, Candy, Megan and Glo. Sure hope today is the day! But guess she is on schedule for the way the eggs hatched in 2006. Hopefully first one will at least start before I leave today! BW kids getting fed again.
Morning, Jim. Glad you saw someone in the NBG nest. Haven't seen an eagle there all morning. Lord BW is now on babies, he just spelled mom. Belle is eating, Liberty on eggs.
Hey Suzanne, Jim, Candy and Glo. They've really built up the egg cup in Norfolk. There was another juvenile eagle there yesterday, it even got in the nest-female chased it away. I guess they have until the beginning of may to lay more eggs or it's not gonna happen this year.
Awww, Tai is eating a tree of bamboo, and Mei was at the treat window looking for goodies. Guess she gave up, she got down and walked out the door. He's outside, she's still inside.
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---HELLO! SUZANNE---JOANNE---SHARON---CANDY---MEGAN & GLO----(not going to say--- you know what---hasn't worked)---It's a grey--blue--pink sky here in WV--"HOME OF BELLE & LIBERTY"---temp 41°---may have some snow showers!!!---GOING TO BE A GLORIOUS DAY TODAY!!----LET'S all ENJOY!!!
Awww did you see that? Li comes in with fish. belle gets right up and heads over to eat. After just a few bites she then reaches over a couple of times to give Lib a few ites of the morning catch. How cool. Belle surely does reach back to care for Lib too. What an awesome pair. Can't say it too many itmes when its a FACT!!!
MORNIN' MOVIN'JIM!-----------GREAT TO SEE the 'LITTLE PRINCE' is a HAPPY CAMPER this morning!!---HOW HE LOVES HIS BAMBOO!!----WOW!--I LOVE HIM!!!---"little imp"!!
Suzanne I was busy filming the food exchange. Gosh got a movie started first thing even if it isn't an eaglet.
Megan Did you also see that at NBG the female missed being hit by a plane by about 100 feet yesterday. Joe Fore I think it was was watching.ITS on NBG thread of Maine forum. makes me just shiver. awful frightening to have seen it
I saw that Glo, I posted it here yesterday after I read it. Gives me the chills, too. Part of the dangers of living right by the airport, it would be awful to have one get hit again there.
Good grief, are they that close to an airport? I didn't know that! Glad you got the food drop and Belle feeding Lib. That was precious! I couldn't tell what she was doing on the supposed to be 30 sec refresh but in actuality 90 sec refresh! So glad you told me. Did see her eating, then move up by Lib, but didn't know that's what she was doing.
Jim, I agree, Lib and Belle never seem to have problems, unless Lib tries to put a stick somewhere and Belle wants it somewhere else. She does get possessive about how her house is gonna be decorated! Glad BW is doing their thing, too. Both those chicks are really close in size, and I've watched both parents feed them. They alternate bites for them, that's adorable! They don't feed one till it's full, then the other. Each chick gets a turn.
Thanks, Sharon. Didn't know the gardens were that close to the airport! Norma, my fuzzballs, if you mean the kitties, are fine. One kept getting sick yesterday, found it when I got home, and I threatened to send all of them to the animal shelter! They still didn't tell me who it was, but think it was Gypsy! She does that almost daily! Morning, Dana.
Bark at VA... It's much smoother where the eagles have been pecking; so they must be removing the rough bark, which they fear will loosen and fall, perhaps on the eggs or chicks.

1 – 200 of 209 Newer› Newest»WE DID TOO, STEVEN, THANKS FOR NEW TUESDAY P.M. THREAD:)!!
Thanks Steven! Paula, lib came in with something small and wiggling, Belle gulped it down, then flew away.
I'M REALLY CONFUSED, thought it was Belle earlier today, then at the last switch thought it was Lib coming in....
Thanks for the new thread Steve...I think we're close...really restless today!
Yes there was a switch - down the hatch that fish went! Gulp!
ok, who's in the nest now? isn't that lib?
It is so nice to know that you all get confused about who is in the nest, too. I don't feel so clueless anymore.
eagles still squawking up in MAINE, AND THE DOGS ARE BARKING
Yes, that's Lib
Yes, Deb, it's not hard to get confused....I can tell when Belle is incubating, she really does the wiggle wiggle wiggle. Lib just does a wiggle.
Thank you, I thought so.
CLUELESS IS MY MIDDLE NAME,DEB.:)
I can usually tell if I see them up, but once they are down in the nest, forget it. The nest is so deep, they get lost in it. I will remember the wiggle hints.
According to the list from Judy, the eggs in OK should be hatching soon, too.
Helen, you are way ahead of me in eagle knowledge. I am trying to catch up.
both -our nest
or not,guess he just got up-sorry
Paula, did not know if you received my last email. I had an appointment and was gone for a couple of hours. But, yes, we are using the correct address, no, we do not have a firewall. Considering calling a GEEK tomorrow.
off to fix dinner.....bbl
I came over with you guys, just been looking and lurking today between appointments....
Hurry little one, we want to meet you!

Megan, I think there was a switch at 7:15. I was on the other thread talking to myself. LOL
Sounds as though Reese & Joe could have had heart failure or at least an eagle rescue.
LOLLY Before you call a geek go ahead and send me your email & I'll see what I can do to get you some help.
Are you using FireFox and do you have Windows XP
Thanks, Jill, was doing something else, all I saw was one in the back of the nest, didn't see one leaave or come in..
wow, Megan, just shudder to think what would happen to the jet if it had sucked them in.
http://i.realone.com/product/help/rp11/en/R1P.htm
Lolly, I don't know if you have tried Realplayer Help but the link is above for connection issues.
Jo, I sent you an email. Thx!
Paula has been fantastic trying to help today.
Thanks for the heads up, Jill. And your welcome, Lolly...sorry I couldn't help...
That runway was where NBG's female's first mate was killed a few years ago... Dangerous place and at that time their nest was at the end of the runway.
And 7:15 was about the time that Lib left and Belle came back.
:):) and they tell us humans to stay away from the nests so we don't scare them....all of us together don't make the noise a 737 does....up at the Maine nest, I hear dogs barking, car doors slamming, think I even hear guns at times....
Head tucked under wing......
Spidey's web swinging in the breeze..
WHERE IS OUR BOBBLE HEAD
Megan, it wasn't easy to see if you weren't looking directly at the nest. Outgoing just popped up and the side and jumped. It literally looked like it took a flying leap towards the ground. Other one was immediatly in the nest moving things.
Paula-how can I extend my viewing time more than 30 minutes.
Was I the only one here last night when Spidey crawled across the lens. EEWWWW. Creepy big white spider. YUCK
Eagle at LW.
Lolly I have not yet received your email to my knowledge. I realize it will come into my junk mail because of not having your address... I hope I didn't delete it in error....
Want to send again? Give me a clue if it is aol, hotmail, comcast...??
looks like it is playing hide and seek behind the tree trunk, Deb
now it is front and center
a question....this is all new stuff the we saw them put up at NCTC, how did spidey find his way back????
both at LW
our eagle awake
I've posted some videos on the EM Blog
Eaglet Momsters Blog
I hope they lay the eggs so they are not hidden by the tree.
Our eagle is up.
true, Deb, can't seem to find the egg cup in that one yet.
Those spideys are something else!
he must have been hiding and watching the whole time they were up the tree.
I'm starting to sound like I have been on the computer too long...
ok.....was that part of a shell the eagle pushed away...?
I don't want to go back on the live-feed, did that the other day and got into trouble
She keeps digging in that egg cup our eaglets will have to be full grown to crawl out of it. SHEW
Just saw that egg roll....looks like her talons show up as really black next to those eggs...
MITS If I am looking at the same thing you were I think it is a leave or something. Eggs looked pretty intact to me.
No Mits - I've been watching that white thing...not a piece of egg shell...it was to the left of her and Lib earlier
Daughter came up and I was looking at the pic with a magnifying glass- she said you're crazy-I said I know.
Evening all ... yes Steven we thought there would be some action today too.
See Spidey's web blowing and strung across nest. He stay hidden down in the nest. When they were up there fixing the cam probably.
I thought the white thingy to the left of them was an egg shell at first.. Then I saw an egg roll with all 3 much earlier - so I don't know what it was.
Big white hump on deer cam is a raccoon.
Megan when I was on earlier, son was here eating dinner. He asked "What if some kid climbed that tree and stuck his face in the camera, you crazy people would be heard screaming all around the world" I just said "Won't happen the tree is 70 feet in the air" He just shook his head and said "you all are crazy." But he has a point. If something suddenly flew into the camera the screams would be heard around the world. LOL
Megan- Tell daughter you are playing I SPY
LOLLY When you return - resend me email
jo_lennox@hotmail.com
Unless we get some real quick hatching action, no one is going to win the first poll. No one guessed later than today.
It's no good, Jo, she thinks I've lost it.
The good news is someday she will have kids of her own and they will think she is crazy. LOL
Thanks for checking that Deb! I know a bunch of people voted for yesterday....
working on videos, BBS
Holy Moley, No, there's not a chick, but got one late present----THE REAL PLAYER came ON for the first time!!!!! I had searched thru their Help ??s & answers 'til about 3am one night & found nothing that applied. There were some things to check under Tools, but I thought it meant on the 'puter toolbar. I just checked Tools on top of the Player, then Preferences>Internet /Privacy & at bottom it had space to enter your zip code. I put it in. I really think this is for them to find out things from YOUR end. However, then went to File on Player & used the inserted Eagle cam address & it LOADED!!!!! Don't know if this is what fixed it or not, but maybe it can help some others.
My machine may stay on all night even tho I'll be at work!!!!
Watching Idol - some good performances tonight...
They are doing Beatles songs
We're watching Idol, too. I keep checking Birds during commercials.
Correction on previous note===I won't be at work all night! Meant to say I'll be at work tomorrow, but want to leave Player on so I can check it in AM!
I was wondering, Nature!
Love the Osprey pics!
both eagles at LW. Our eagle is up.
We can change our vote until the first egg is hatched, right?
Y'all let me know if I changed my votes illegally! :)
What, you can change your guess??
CHANGE UNTIL THE FIRST EGG HATCHES
I did my change the other day but guess I'll do it again....
Thanks for the reminder Eagle Eye
Well, good grief, don't everybody pick tomorrow...
OK, videso for today are done!
Eaglet Momsters Blog
Hmmm...that is what I said....
Oh, well!
Ooh, I didn't know we could change our votes. Raccoon on PA cam.
Thanks I changed mine also. Thought that is what you said before Paula. Could change until 1st egg hatches then can't change.
Eagle in Kent 2!
Did anybody see the last egg check? Looked like a crack but might have been grass. Belle didn't move her butt enough to see all 3.
Eagle moved up to Kent 1, I missed the in air shot.
No, I got it. Thought for sure I was too slow.
I love the daily videos you have been doing, Paula.
Paula, Love your videos. Don't know how you get them on so fast.
Got some surprise osprey shots today & 3/4 of an eagle in the the nest this PM. Haven't dwnlded yet to get a good look. Will let everyone know when they get on this blog.G0o back to Park Sat. Tomorrow I work at a different property where mostly geese and deer roam!(Fox families in the spring! Can't wait.)
Saw that too Jill, but wasn't sure if it was a crack or not
They are sure being secretive today!
We sent them a memo telling them to use the other side of the egg cup when turning but apparently they didn't get it yet Iris. LOL
Hi All! Fixed dinner, then sat down to eat while watching Idol. Happy to see some more of you were watching it as well.
Had to laugh at some comments about being crazy watching the cams. I've been known to have the magnifying glass as well.
Jo, sent you another email.
Our eagle was awake - for about 1/2 of a minute. Thought we might see eggs - they do show up very well in the night light.
I, too, love your videos, Paula. I must have missed your reply about your eaglet on the cloth that is so wonderful. Which eaglet is it. Did you take it. I absolutely love it. I have it right up there with Dana's pink kitty. Sure hope the first egg is fertile and we get a little piece of fluffy soon. mauley
Those videos are great Paula. Thanks-
Got your email Lolly.
BWE site - Neat new T-shirt with eagle cam pics! Anyone going down
on the 15th?
I just finished the videos, great job, Paula. I liked watching Lib fly away from the nest in Lib is out, Belle is in.
Mauely - I didn't take my avatar picture...found it on the WWW somewhere!
And yes, that flyout by Lib was great!
Eagle awake = calling?
No roll, just up and back down
And thanks everyone for posting when you see stuff, then I can go back and find it on the video and tape it!
I loved when lib brought her a live meal, she kept moving toward him to get it, Ithought she was gonna push him out of the nest.
Thanks Paula I too loved the videos. I enjoyed so much seeing Liberty fly out of the nest and swoop downward still flying. They are an awesome pair.
I think Lib scared the crap out of Belle when he arrived in the nest with that fish...she was getting ready to settle back down on the eggs
eagle up and looking around!
And I loved the way that fish was still wiggling....
Still looking to the right
Back to snoozing
Time for snoozing here, too.
G'nite, all!
Time for me to close and hit the hay. Night all....tomorrows another day to hope for a hatch at our nest ( :
Wahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yipeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM ON!!!!!!!!!!
Whoopeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!
Jo, you have to kiss that grandson of yours for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jo and Paula, you too are the greatest! Whoopee!!!!
Now let those babies hatch!!!!!
I do wish she would wiggle so I can see some movement.
Naturenut, so happy for you, that you got on as well.
Good for you, Lolly, Jo's grandson is a genius when it comes to puters......GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
Yay, Lolly! now you'll really be hooked. Now don't you go waking that eagle just so you can see it move...sshhhh
And he works a lot cheaper than Geek Squad. LOL
Congrats, Lolly, too bad it's night and Belle is asleep. You might get to see an eaglet tomorrow!
Just watch Spidey's web, Lolly!
Tomorrow you might just be watching
A LITTLE BOBBLE HEAD
I think I am done for the day, also. TTYT
Paula, as my luck would have it, I can see the videos I was here to see in the first place, the ones I didn't see won't open. Figures. Youtube on this computer is sporadic. maybe tomorrow. The two I could watch were great. Wiggle Wiggle .
Paula, finally got around to watching the videos. They are great!
YAY, Lolly! So glad you're on!!!!
I don't know if you got on like I did (my inappropriate "techie" report was about 9:15PM), but if it messes up, I might be whining to Jo in the future.
I have been able to see the spider's web blowing - - it does appear on the 30 sec. cam as a line - - don't they know it's NOT Halloween?? LOL
Now how about a chicklet??!!
NatureNut - Lolly & I will share our info anytime you need it!
Good Night everyone
Peace to You & Yours
Prayers for all our needs being said
Suzanne - First thing you do
is check for a Bobble Head
Wiggle Wiggle, Left leg & wing stretch, & a Wiggle!
Now bedtime! Might do one more check after Jay Leno!
Yell Naturenut if you need help. I will send the help to you that Jo sent to me. Bless her grandson!
Nite....time to turn in!
Thx Lolly. I just came back & it's "Timed Out". Has been on for over 2 hours. Don't know if it will come back on, but not fooling w/it tonight.
Good night all.....
Nature mine has timed out twice in the last hour or so. About every 20-25 minutes it appears. I thought it was because I change from 30 minutes to 60. I went back and changed the setting back. Will see what happens. This is the first time this has happened to me.
Changed my setting back to 30 minutes no more time outs.
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE.
TOMORROW'S THE DAY!
Suzanne, no hatchlings as of this hour, so, please look for one the first thing in the morning. [;~D]
Jim
Just had an egg check. Wiggle Wiggle and back in the cup. She is being very stubborn about letting us see those eggs.
Belle just turned the eggs, but I could only see 1-2, you know how she does it.
She really did it quickly with no special attention, and then she rocked and rocked on them, trying to settle down tight.
I'm pretty sure they are still in egg form.
Jim
Up for a bathroom break. Was watching Belle. She woke up, looked around, jumped up off the eggs and was watching something with great displeasure. Three times she did wing flaps, not stretches, as if she were trying to chase something off. Then she went back in the egg cup, checked the eggs and wiggled back into the cup. Now she looks like she is on total red alert. I did not get to see all the eggs.
Good morning, world. Morning Sharon if you're still up. See we still don't have a hatching! Bummer! Eagle is sound asleep now, head under wing. BW parent is awake.
Oh, back in a sec.
Back, had a problem with one of the doors this morning, and had to wait for someone else to come in. Knew he would know what it was! He did, so good to go.
Not bad out, still cold, but no wind, no precipation! 36° in PA, 40° in VA.
See we have lots of posts, will have to attempt to see what I missed yesterday. I'm sorry I didn't miss a hatching in our nest! Darn.
All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly! Oh, BW parent is back to sleep, so both eagles have head under wings snoozing!
Our nest has had an egg turning, eagle awake and looked around for a bit, then went back to sleep. BW parent also woke up, checked the kids and went back to sleep.
Nobody in Maine, Tesoro still too dark, and guess we still don't have an egg in Norfolk. Had a juvie pop in the nest yesterday to say hi to the Mrs, then the juvie left. Cam is up, nobody home. Wonder how long it will stay up today?
Oh BW checking kids again.
Can't get WDF to open, so can't check the owls, herons or much of anything else. Scarface returned last night about 8pm, Pook's time. NZ Flamingo cams are also down.
Ok, back to the ol' grind. AC is on, so time to get my coat on, it's freezing in here. BW chick is peeking out from under parent, can see a little head by eagle's right wing. Ok, never mind, parent left, chicks alone. Geez, it's too cold at this hour! Parent left at 0531.
Parent just returned, thank god! Only gone 2 minutes.
Egg turning our nest, can see all 3 intact eggs. Darn! Want one to hatch.
Our 30 sec cam is updating every 90 seconds. Not good. Hope the live feed is up and running!
Head back under wing, so eagle is relaxed, doesn't hear anything. This is day 37 for egg 1, and day 35 for egg 2. We need a hatch today!
BW parent just left after watching the kids for a sec. Kids are sleeping. Our eagle was awake, but head went right back under wing again. BW parent back. Must have had to take a potty break.
At 7 am Mom is pretty attentive to what is under her, prob listening to peeps inside the shells.
BW has a fish in the nest, but did not see how it got there. Had to minimize the screen for a minute. Our eagle still sleeping.
Morning, Joanne. My pic may not be updating, I show our eagle sleeping, and has been for a while.
Lady BW ius now feeding the kiddies the fresh fish!
BW parent is awesome. One chick gets a bite, then the other. She rotates them with each bite. She held back on the incubating for chick #1, and they only hatched a matter of hours apart, so they are really close in size now. Think they hatched about 38 hours apart or so.
Feeding over, mom back on babies.
Egg roll our nest, can see all 3eggs clearly. Pic is having a horrible time updating.
Well, Belle just got up and did a little stretching. Thought Lib might be on his way but she just turned the eggs and wiggled back in. All three eggs still intact.
GOOD WEDNESDAY MORNING SUZANNE AND SHARON. Just had the cam come up here at school and got all excited. I thought I saw a brownish spot by the eggs; not yet:( Oh well, the cold weather could possibly put off the hatching for a few days, couldn't it?
GOOD MORNING TO YOU ALSO JOANNE.i MISSED YOU ON HERE EARLIER. I just had to check on our nest before leaving for school. I think if today isn't THE DAY
we are going to have some excited expectant ealgemomster parents with the jitters; me included. The waiting is killing all of us. :)
Well kids will be coming in so I have to say later gator. Don't understand why it let me in to blog today, but I am not complaning. :)
It's 40° now, it's gonna be 53° here today, should be sunny this afternoon. I don't think there is a problem, the problem is we are just impatiently waiting for a chick, cause we just can't wait to see it. Today is day 37- they are right on schedule. egg should hatch today or tomorrow, everything is fine, we have seen how attentive they have been to the eggs. The mighty OZ has spoken....
Good morning everyone. OK so now we know today is the day! Right? OK so MTBR. I predict today is a great day to watch very closely.
Morning, Candy, Megan and Glo. Sure hope today is the day! But guess she is on schedule for the way the eggs hatched in 2006. Hopefully first one will at least start before I leave today!
BW kids getting fed again.
The deer with one antler is on the PA cam.
Darn, deer strolled off and birds have arrived. Belle is awake again, and BW chicks still eating.
Awesome shot, our nest.
Good morning, everyone...
Suz, Glo, Sharon, Candy, Megan.
Well, the female was in the nest cup at Norfolk, but now all I see is a largish amount of soft grasses, etc.
BW Mom was feeding the chicks and Dad was on the Osprey nest, but it looks like Dad on the chicks now...
Belle's gawking around looking for Dad I guess. Has he delivered breakfast or spelled her on the eggs yet this morning?
Hope we get a hatching this morning. Everybody have a great day...
[:~)]
Jim
Both in BWE.
[:~)]
Jim
Morning, Jim. Glad you saw someone in the NBG nest. Haven't seen an eagle there all morning.
Lord BW is now on babies, he just spelled mom.
Belle is eating, Liberty on eggs.
Hey Suzanne, Jim, Candy and Glo. They've really built up the egg cup in Norfolk. There was another juvenile eagle there yesterday, it even got in the nest-female chased it away. I guess they have until the beginning of may to lay more eggs or it's not gonna happen this year.
Awww, Tai is eating a tree of bamboo, and Mei was at the treat window looking for goodies. Guess she gave up, she got down and walked out the door. He's outside, she's still inside.
I just saw Dad (I think) land on nest at VA.
[:~)]
Jim
Both eagles in the nest at Norfolk
Megan, saw the pics of the juvenile visiting the Mrs. That was too cool.
Both parents in BW.
Now, both are in nest at Norfolk.
[:~)]
Jim
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---HELLO! SUZANNE---JOANNE---SHARON---CANDY---MEGAN & GLO----(not going to say--- you know what---hasn't worked)---It's a grey--blue--pink sky here in WV--"HOME OF BELLE & LIBERTY"---temp 41°---may have some snow showers!!!---GOING TO BE A GLORIOUS DAY TODAY!!----LET'S all ENJOY!!!
Hi, Megan...welllll. I understood it to be closer to early April for Norfolk. But it looks like they will be able to do it by then.
[:~)]
Jim
Awww did you see that? Li comes in with fish. belle gets right up and heads over to eat. After just a few bites she then reaches over a couple of times to give Lib a few ites of the morning catch. How cool. Belle surely does reach back to care for Lib too. What an awesome pair. Can't say it too many itmes when its a FACT!!!
MORNIN' MOVIN'JIM!-----------GREAT TO SEE the 'LITTLE PRINCE' is a HAPPY CAMPER this morning!!---HOW HE LOVES HIS BAMBOO!!----WOW!--I LOVE HIM!!!---"little imp"!!
Mei is begging and doing her Ray Charles dance again.
Morning, Norma. Mei is still inside, and she wants her treats! Or out.
Suzanne I was busy filming the food exchange. Gosh got a movie started first thing even if it isn't an eaglet.
Megan Did you also see that at NBG the female missed being hit by a plane by about 100 feet yesterday. Joe Fore I think it was was watching.ITS on NBG thread of Maine forum. makes me just shiver. awful frightening to have seen it
YEAH GLO!!---That is 'PRICELESS'--ho!
I saw that Glo, I posted it here yesterday after I read it. Gives me the chills, too. Part of the dangers of living right by the airport, it would be awful to have one get hit again there.
Liberty-Belle do seem to be an extremely well matched pair, Glo.
They never seem to have conflicts, and they both do their part without a lot of delay and screwing around.
BW has gotten a lot better since the eggs hatched, more like last year. Maybe we were inventing problems there.
[:~)]
Jim
Good grief, are they that close to an airport? I didn't know that! Glad you got the food drop and Belle feeding Lib. That was precious! I couldn't tell what she was doing on the supposed to be 30 sec refresh but in actuality 90 sec refresh! So glad you told me. Did see her eating, then move up by Lib, but didn't know that's what she was doing.
Sorry, Jim, I meant to write April, my brain is still on standard time. Hello Norma:)
Both still at the NBG nest, Mom's very active fixing the nest up.
[:~)]
Jim
Jim, I agree, Lib and Belle never seem to have problems, unless Lib tries to put a stick somewhere and Belle wants it somewhere else. She does get possessive about how her house is gonna be decorated!
Glad BW is doing their thing, too. Both those chicks are really close in size, and I've watched both parents feed them. They alternate bites for them, that's adorable! They don't feed one till it's full, then the other. Each chick gets a turn.
Look at the female in NBG, she's going through contortions getting more bark.
SUZANNE---How are your little fuzz balls!!---SORRY I missed saying hello to them!!---TAX lady called & I had to go!!----
The Norfolk Botanical Gardens is right next to the airport in Norfolk. They have a bench you can sit on to watch the planes come in and take off.
Good Morning Suzanne, Jim, Megan, Joanne, Norma, Candy, Glo, and Sharon.
Now I need to catch up on comments.
Oh, Mei is now out. She's a happy camper now. Well, maybe, looking through the screen window and begging for treats.
EAGLE ON NEST--BC!!---IN A SNOWY NEST!!!!
Thanks, Sharon. Didn't know the gardens were that close to the airport!
Norma, my fuzzballs, if you mean the kitties, are fine. One kept getting sick yesterday, found it when I got home, and I threatened to send all of them to the animal shelter! They still didn't tell me who it was, but think it was Gypsy! She does that almost daily!
Morning, Dana.
MORNIN' DANA!!---What's happening at the DONKEY site!!--ho!---I'll check!!
WOW!!---HERDS of them again today---as far as you can see--DONKEYS!!---Must be a DONKEY REUNION!!----Do they have FAMILY REUNIONS????
Three whole eggs as of 5:13 am AZ time...
C'mon, chickies!!
Suz, I threaten my dogs all the time to have them arrested!
LOL, Glo, does it any better for you than it did for me???? They all totally ignored me!
Oh, SORRY!!! Meant SHARON, not Glo. Does it work for you, Sharon???? Good grief, maybe I better wake up or something equally ridiculous!
MORNIN' BLUE SHARON from BLUEFIELD!!---Is that COOL or not?
Oh my, donkey breakfast time, Norma.
LOL Norma "herd" of donkeys
Good Morning Delphia ( :
The flower on my pic is chicory. That is how Bluefield got its name - fields of blue flowers.
CO NEST--(BLACK)----CHECK the OWL pics!!!----One shows a "visiting owl" in door way!!
THANKS SHARON!!---I didn't know that!!---Beautiful flower!!!
I read where Joe said he seen the almost incident with the NBG eagles and the plane. There is not a video posted is there?
Just saw Mom fly back into the Norfolk nest with new furnishings. She's been out and in about 5 times since I've been watching.
[:~)]
Jim
If I remember correctly, chicory can be used as a coffee substitute...
Hi WV Dana, everyone :)
Are you the Dana with whom I talked about the newspaper?? I get so confoooozed
I'm the one that had pre-surgery pool therapy. Then has the knee replacement.
Both our nest!
Also I used to a longgggg time ago on here be Vicky. Since there was Vicky from Ill. I changed to wvgal_dana.
CHECK OUR NEST--2 STANDING AWAY FROM EGG PLACE!!
Bark at VA... It's much smoother where the eagles have been pecking; so they must be removing the rough bark, which they fear will loosen and fall, perhaps on the eggs or chicks.
[:~)]
Jim
Belle flew in and Liberty fleew out. 3 eggs still
