OK, I'll do the split at 600....

Good morning, Suzanne.

Please look for the first egg of the second clutch at Norfolk.

And for signs of normal food acquisition and the feeding of the chick at Black Water.

Thanks,
Jim

Suzanne said...

Good grief Jim, that poor chick hasn't been fed yet? Sure hope it's still around through these terrible rain storms!
Good morning, world. Raining very heavily out there, and thunder boomers shook my house this morning! Flooded streets, and lots of debris in the water. Be careful. Not raining here now, but not sure it's finished. 52° in PA, 53° in VA, so glad of that. Least it's not freezing! But rivers are gonna be up today!
Reading Lisa's update on BWE, gues our father is very delinquent. Sure hope he comes around pretty quick, before our chick gets too weak. Our poor eagle is tenting like mad keeping the eggs dry, and BW just now is either turning the egg or checking on the chick. Back over them now. BW parent looks soaked, so they're getting the rain too.
All have a good eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly.

Suzanne said...

See Mei's cam is still kaput! Poor Mei is still trying to get up to her grotto! She never made it yesterday, and cam is on same loop today. She outta be pretty tired by now. Tai bug is sleeping on his rocks, cutie bug. And SD has Su Lin on cam, not our baby, so so much for panda viewing.

Suzanne said...

BW mom has her head back under wings, she's soaked! Poor thing. Ours still mantling, but haven't seen pic update, so it may be frozen. Not even spidey's web has moved.

Suzanne said...

BW checking on baby again and/or turning egg. Our cam still frozen. It probably drowned! BW has squiggly lines, but not all the time.

Suzanne said...

Well, BW lady has been awake since I've been here. Our eagle pic I don't think is updating. Time had stopped for a while, but it's updating now. Still about 7 minutes slow, but that's becomming normal now. Cam clock loses about a minute a week. But I've been watching closely, and I do not see the pic updating or changing at all.

Suzanne said...

Well just never mind. Pic IS updating, eagle is just not moving much. STill mantling, and I guess getting rained on, but eagle is moving, cam is updating! Phew, glad of that!

Suzanne said...

Our eagle is turning eggs and moving, first time since 4 I've seen them move! Now 0548! Lady BW still sleeping.

Suzanne said...

The time would be cam time, It's 0556 now for real.

floralgirl said...

Morning, some soggy looking eagles this morning. What a line of storms that came through here last night.

floralgirl said...

Still a little dark, but it looks like Norfolk nest is empty. Eagle was there at 11 pm before camera pic became to blurry to see any more, most thought it was the female sitting in nest then.

Suzanne said...

Mornning, Megan. Haven't seen anybody in the NBG nest this morning. Those storms were terrible last night! Our eagle woke up a little while ago and turned eggs, and Lady BW has been up a couple times turning egg and checking on chick, but she's been sleeping for a while now. Maine cam is covered in rain, can't see anything.

floralgirl said...

Eagle just landed in nest at Norfolk.

Suzanne said...

Our lazy butt male is on the BWO platform. Don't see any foo he brought in, but sure wish he'd bring some to mom and baby! He's up close and personal. He's drenched too.

Suzanne said...

He just flew off. Maybe (HOPFEULLY), he's gone hunting for food for his family!!

Suzanne said...

That's got to be the Mrs at Norfolk. She's the one that likes to eat the bark off the trees, which is what she's doing right now.

Suzanne said...

LOOK QUICK, 2NDD BW CHICK IS HATCHING!!!!!

Suzanne said...

Can see 2nd chick breaking out of the egg!!!

Suzanne said...

Mom just came back to watch and welcome her new baby!!!!

Suzanne said...

DAVE, MEGAN, WERE YOU WATCHING????? Phew, that's exciting! Morning, Dave.

Suzanne said...

Got 3 awesome pics, sent to Lisa. The first chick was still moving head when 2nd one was coming out of shell, so she's aware she's getting a sibling. Mom came back and watched for a refresh, then back on them. So awesome to see!!! So now we need the lazy hubby to REALLY get on the stick and start supplying food!!! Oh, mom has head down in egg cup. Chick is not totally out of shell, but shell looked like it was broken in half.

Suzanne said...

Right on BW schedule for him, 35 days. Good mommie, slowed the first hatching down and now they're only 2 days apart. Ok dad, get on the stick!

Suzanne said...

Mom has checked on the chicks a couple times, but now sitting comfortably on them. Ours awake and looking around, but still on the eggs and wings out a little, but not much. Rain must have stopped, or at least slowed down!

Suzanne said...

Tesoro eaglets are standing tall, and I lost NBG. They have some great pics added, though. They did catch the mating yesterday in the pine tree!

Suzanne said...

Our cam is frozen again.

Suzanne said...

Cool, our nest!

floralgirl said...

cool ,Suzanne. I missed BW 2nd egg hatch-real life intervened on my computer watching:(

Suzanne said...

I sent you pics, Megan. Now that I can actually send you email from here!

floralgirl said...

wow ,Suzanne, thanks for sharing!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thanks for the pic, Suz. That is so great!

floralgirl said...

turkeys on PA cam

Suzanne said...

You're all welcome. Too cool!

Suzanne said...

Megan, that is an old pic. The cam is not updating! With the warm weather and all the rain, there isn't any snow left. At least not that much. Date is 3 Mar.

floralgirl said...

oh good grief, I didn't even look at the date on the cam pic-but hey, there ARE turkeys on the PA cam..lol

Suzanne said...

BOTH CHICKS VISIBLE!

Suzanne said...

2nd chick is out, there is half the shell MT!!! AWWW mom looking at her babies!!

Suzanne said...

Morning Norma and Glo. We have 2 chicks at BWE! Unfortunately, lazy butt dad is hanging out at the osprey platform! He doesn't even know he has a 2nd chick, good for nothig. Mom is waiting for him. I'll send pics around of the chick totally out of the shell. Already sent to Lisa.

normabyrd said...

Suzanne said...

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---LISA has a "few words" words about lazy DAD!!---MOM--may have to go after him & kick some butt to get him there!!---If he can't fish---he can baby sit & MOM will bring home the bacon!!! ho!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Deadbeat Dad must not have gotten the memo that he is supposed to be in on this too!

normabyrd said...

The 'LITTLE PRINCE' is eating a bamboo 'tree' this a.m.---Loves to shake the bamboo up & down & back & forth!!---'LITTLE IMP'!!

normabyrd said...

HEY SHARON!!----Don't you think we need a new thread????----Use your power!!!

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE...

Hahahaha! The VA cam just came up again, and there's an eagle perched on the branch to the right.

As I was watching the bird perch there, I saw a squirrel just start onto the nest next to the trunk of the tree, the eagle heard it or saw and started to swing around.... the squirrel was gone in a heartbeat!! Then you could see the little booger hopping and skipping from branch to branch all the way around on the underside of the nest...

The eagle's looking down, so I reckon he's following the imp, but can't catch anything that small and quick, especially at close quarters.

Glad to hear the second chick at BW has hatched, haven't looked at the pics yet.

Keep your eyes on the nest all day now to make sure that male you've been putting down does his duty. Maybe the family won't starve after all if you watch very closely.

Maybe you can report back once in a while and let us know how you feel about him. OK?

Have a good day now.

[:~)]

Jim

normabyrd said...

WHOA DANA----There is a PACE of DONKEYS feeding this morning!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' MOVIN'JIM!!----I bet the EAGLE could have grabbed "SKINNY" in a sec. if he wanted to!!!

floralgirl said...

Hope we didn't upset Jim with our criticism of the male at BW....

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jim! I think unless he improves, he sure doesn't deserve the name of Lord BW!! Think Dead beat dad is more his style! And name. There is an eagle on the osprey platform, and mom looks like she's waiting for dad to show, but don't know if the one on BWO is her "hubby."

Joanne said...

OK, what I'd like to know: Is there a eaglet hatched in the WVA nest?

Someone asked where I was from the other day. Here is our website and we post pictures daily.

http://www.hostingphpbb.com/forum/index.php?mforum=peregrinefalcon

It is new...it used to be connected to Greentreks but they ran out of funds.

All are welcomed to join in...I need help in collecting pictures and uploading to photobucket and posting. LOL

BTW, I'm in NW CT...

normabyrd said...

VA SITE is swaying in the wind & an EAGLE is perched on the limb!! BEAUTIFUL SUNNY a.m. in VA!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hello and welcome, Joanne. Thanks for the info. We have not had a hatching yet in WV.

floralgirl said...

eaglets on view at BWE

movin said...

Here's a link to the most recent Island Update...this time it's a "Northern Island Update" which I didn't see until this morning.

Steffi's Catalina Report can be seen by clicking on the "IWS Updates" at the top of the page..if you haven't read it already.

Island Updates

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Wow, what a difference in the size of these 2 eaglets!

Suzanne said...

Mom left, babies visible in the sun!!!!

Suzanne said...

Hurry, still visible.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' JOANNE---The WV nest has NOT hatched---but we have 3 eggs in our nest!!---The BLACKWATER NEST (located in MD)---has 2 hatched chicks as of this a.m.!!!---One was hatched yesterday!!---One early this a.m.!!!--AWESOME SIGHT!!

normabyrd said...

WHOA!!!---This is #666!!---Isn't that supposed to be BAD LUCK or something like that!!!!

movin said...

adult is off chicks at BW. Let's see if she gets Dads attention at the other nest.

[:~)]

Jim

Suzanne said...

She's been gone a couple minutes, glad the chicks are in the sun. Hope she find the old man and gets him motivated!!

floralgirl said...

Keep waiting to see her show up at BWO and give that eagle a scolding..if it's dad.

movin said...

Did anyone see Mom bring Dad in and show him the chicks like they usually do??

That ritual seems to trigger a lot of positive action toward caring for the young by both parents. Maybe she skipped that step, and he hasn't gotten the idea particularly that he is a father.

They're not Einsteins, you know.

[:~)]

Jim

Suzanne said...

BWO eagle just took off.

Suzanne said...

Mom is back.

movin said...

Somebody is on the chicks, and Dad is gone from the BWO nest. Did anybody see what happened?

[:~)]

Jim

floralgirl said...

Usually when the babies are new, dad supplies the food for mom and them. For some reason maybe he is just not that bonded to the mom or babies. Only time will tell.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I think that is Dad on Sylvia and her sibling. What do you all think?

Sunny said...

Hi Everyone! There's a new thread started! Come on over!

deb said...

NEW THREAD. COME ON OVER.

floralgirl said...

Looks like it could be, Sharon. Wish that cam was a live feed-miss so mush with 30 sec. refresh.

movin said...

I'll tell it again...


New Thread

started.

[:~)]

Jim

Suzanne said...

Jim, I didn't see her bring dad in to show him either chick, but dad has to be around in order to do that. I don't think she has seen him either. I caught a switch on the nest yesterday, around 6:30 or so, and that's the last time I've seen both eagles in the nest. The BWO eagle took off right before mom got back on the babies. Was watching both cams, like Megan, I was waiting for her to show up at the osprey platform to get dad. If that was dad.
