Me too, Sharon! Today is day 35 for egg #1 if she laid it the morning of 4 Feb, so they'res still time. First BW chick hatched at 36 days. I have est hatch dates for egg #2 from 9-13 Mar, 32-36 days, so we'll see.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Dana.

Suzanne said...

Food has disappeared at the owl hotel, so I'm guessing we have 2 chicks with full tummies!
Awesome wing flaps at Tesoro.

wvgal_dana said...

We still have time for the 1st egg to hatch. ( :

I see Jim and Candy was on the other thread. Candy off to school and Jim back to bed.

Anne-Marie said...

good Moning all, I am here to Hi and Bye. I have to get to the lab and get blood work done before work. the lab opens at 7:00. I will be lurking from work as usual. Love the picture Joanne. Hugs to everyone.

Mema Jo said...

I have an early appointment - Keep your eyes on our nest during those egg rolls. Soon = there just has to be only 2 eggs to roll!

Good luck on your appointments too, Jo.

Norma, that big ol' owl has been off the eggs a lot this morning! Wonder why???

deb said...

Divers!

Suzanne said...

DIVERS!!!

Suzanne said...

Good morning, DEB!!

deb said...

Good Morning, everyone. It is a beautiful, sunny 37 here today, headed to 53! I need to catch up on blog!

Suzanne said...

Oh, 2 left and here is another guy taking pics of the cam??? And reef. Waive hello and smile!

Suzanne said...

Just got our cam lens cleaned with a sponge. That was sure wierd on this end!!

MITS said...

did that person just kiss the cam?

Suzanne said...

LOL, Helen, stopped watching for a sec after the sponge hit me in the face!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Deb ( :

2 eagles just flew into Maine yelling.... one was tenting don't know if it has food?

wvgal_dana said...

One moved to limb made the one in nest stop yelling so much because it has food in the one talcon. Now it is eating.

Suzanne said...

Norma, I saw that on the news last night. I think he'll be punished, there are too many people speaking out now. My question is, why didn't they speak out when he was taking his gazillion shots at the hawk???? They're speaking out now cause someone let the cat outta the bag, and it's no longer a secret. But at least they can testify against him when the time comes.

Suzanne said...

Wow, who is Belle yelling at???? Or Lib yelling at??

wvgal_dana said...

That eagle at Maine sure is chowing down that food.

Hi Anne Bye Anne Hi again when you read this from work ( :

Suzanne said...

Looks like Maine eagle is defeathering something. Feathers are just a flying!

IrisF said...

Good Morning Vicky, Joanne, Glo, Suzanne, Sharon, Dana, Norma, Helen, Jo and Deb.... WOW, lots of you here this morning again. Have to go catch up...

IrisF said...

well while I am catching up and getting some coffee, I want some email followups...

IrisF said...

Do I still see THREE eggs?? Come on Belle, we want a bobblehead today!

MITS said...

chicks on view at BW

Suzanne said...

BW chicks are alone again. They're so cute!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Belle just arrived!

Suzanne said...

Look at the curled talons by the chick!

Eagle off our 3 eggs.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Iris ( :

Yes Suzanne I seen a wing so maybe part of a duck. Of course don't know for sure. Feathers are going everywhere.

I see food an a switch at our nest. 3 pretty eggs showing. ( :

Mema Jo said...

Peeking in - saw the switch -
Definitely saw 2 eggs - I guess the third was too deep to be seen?
At least neither parent fed anyone down in that egg well..... lol

Come on Bobble head

deb said...

Both eagles in LW, it is just getting light, but you can see their heads.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Iris. Today is day 36 for our #1 egg, so hopefully we'll get a chick very soon.

Suzanne said...

Jo, did the CA owl have a hatching? She looks like she has broken egg shells laying in front of her.

Lolly said...

Good morning everyone!

Does anyone know exactly where the Maine nest is located?

wvgal_dana said...

Jo you have mail

Lolly said...

Last night owl cam 1 looked like 4 eggs and 2 hatched. owl cam 2 has too many babies to count and it looked like one egg had not hatched. I love watching the owls!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Lolly! I have no idea where the exact location is of the Maine nest. Sure is beautiful there, though!

deb said...

Iris, this is what I found out about the Maine cam.


The Eagle Cam is located high in a tree someplace in Coastal Hancock County, and it’s impossible to pry any more information than that about the site out of Goodale. “That’s as specific as we’re being, the birds are very sensitive. The equipment is very sensitive and we just don’t want to encourage people to go and check out the site.”

Donnie said...

Good Morning Everyone,
No baby yet? Oh Oh.. checking eggs....

Suzanne said...

Belle turning eggs with her feetsies. Don't have the live cam, can ya'll see anything?

deb said...

Sorry, make that Lolly!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Donnie. No baby yet. Pic is not updating! (30 sec pic)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Eggs still look the same to me.

wvgal_dana said...

Did anyone see a dark place in the one egg? Or was that a part of her talcon?

Donnie said...

Suz,
My live cam is really jumpy. I thought it was just my PC... (slow today>

Suzanne said...

Lolly this morning I saw 2 chicks, 4 eggs, and food on owl cam 1. Food didn't stay there for very long, though. I can't tell on cam2 how many babies there are, pic is not very clear.

Lolly said...

Thanks for the info on the Maine nest. We were in Maine in Oct. (long way from TX!!!) I was just curious. We did see an eagle one day while in Acadia!

MITS said...

The eagle nest is in Gorham Maine, right by the Atlantic Ocean

wvgal_dana said...

Jo, Suzanne, and Sharon check your mail please

Lolly said...

I got a great picture last night on Owl cam 1. Dad was visiting and it looked like he gave her a kiss. lol Cam 2 is my favorite. I lol. She is having such a hard time keeping all those babies under her.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Lolly and Donnie.

Lolly said...

Thanks Mits! Going to get the ol' Atlas out and pin point it. :)

Lolly said...

Good morning, Dana.

IrisF said...

Hey Suzanne thanks for thinking about me - in the back of your head!!! I know Vicky and I don't mind if you mix us up!! Right Vicky?

Well, I think I'm caught up and confirmed that I did see three eggs earlier...Oh well, it is what it is!!! That egg will hatch when it is ready and not one moment before!

Have some appointments today, so will be in and out.

Suzanne said...

Lolly, how many eggs did owl on cam 2 have hatch? I can hardly see into that nest. Both parents were on owl cam 1 earlier. And I saw yesterday where the herons have an egg. How cool is that! I thought it was 2, but she just this sec got up and showed me. Only 1 egg. But looks very white. First Heron egg I've ever seen.

Donnie, can't get the live feed here at work, so I rely on the 30sec cam. Frustrating when it doesn't refresh!

MITS said...

my real player is acting like a 30 second cam:(

Lolly said...

I could not count the babies on owl cam 2. It was such a pile!! And I saw one egg.

MITS said...

she is really jumpy...

Suzanne said...

Those little BW fluffballs are eating again! Sure glad to see that. They're getting to be chubby little fuzzballs!

MITS said...

my real player is only changing every 5 to 10 seconds

Donnie said...

I'm going to reboot. Maybe that will free up some memory. I've been busy today, and things get sluggish on this old PC. BRB...

deb said...

There is a heron egg on the HeronCam 2 nest!

deb said...

Darn, the heron just laid down as I was posting. I should have snapped a picture.

Lolly said...

Bye! BBL Going to read the paper and share the computer with Jack. We need two!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Eagles at Maine are eating good today in the nest.

Carol_in_WV said...

'Morning eagle and eaglet lovers!
I see we don't have an eaglet yet. Belle sure is moving and tucking in the fluff. Maybe she knows something we don't or maybe she's bored.

MITS said...

rebooting seems to have helped the live-feed

Donnie said...

My live feed is still slow but not as bad. I'm not have much luck with gizzmos today. My bird/baby monitor has a loud buzz on it this morning. Must have got some rain in it last night. Maybe the sun will dry it out today>

Suzanne said...

Helen, glad you got your live feed back! Hope the reboot helps Donnie too. Deb I got a pic of the one heron egg, I'll send it to you. Very white looking egg.
Morning, Carol!
We have leftover something with a wing in the BWE nest. At least I think it looks like a wing.

Suzanne said...

Our little ZZ is on cam, just a climbing! First time I've seen her in days!!
BW kids are eating again!

Danelle said...

Good morning everyone! Is anyone having trouble getting the live feed up? I click on the link, and it tells me website not available???

MITS said...

I'm on Danelle, but have had troubles with it this a.m.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Danelle. The 30 sec cam isn't working too swift, either.

Steve Chase said...

Live feed works for me. Those at NCTC just heard the eagle on the nest making some loud calls on the closed circuit, very cool.

MITS said...

Suzanne said...

Squigs looks stuck. So she has decided to eat some branches. She got up, almost figured out a way down, now she's taking a "branch" break. She's adorable!

Suzanne said...

Is she turning or watching the eggs?

MITS said...

THANKS, STEVEN......she is moving the fluff out of the nest cup

MITS said...

seems to be letting in more air.

MITS said...

now putting some fluff back

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Helen. Thanks for the update Steven, but the 30 sec cam is updating about every 2 mins now.

MITS said...

eating some fluff, guess she needs her roughage

MITS said...

30 second cam has been doing that for quite some time now

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Excuse me, Mits, but where is the Preaching part? :)

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE...

Just skimming the comments, it looks as though there is no new chick at WV yet. Is that right?

I think I got up again in time to say, "have a safe trip home, and enjoy this 'just about Spring' day" to Suzanne.

And the rest of you enjoy it too. [:~D]

Jim

deb said...

Good picture of the heron egg, Suzanne, thank you.

My live feed is a little sticky, too, today.

Suzanne said...

Wellllll POOP!!! Now is not the time for the live feed or the 30 sec cam to take a break!!!!

MITS said...

GOD BLESS AND AMEN:):):)

Suzanne said...

LOL, you go, Helen!!

You're welcome, Deb.

Hi again, Jim. Did you sleep well? It's still chilly out, but if it's nice enough when I get home, the ol' windows are going up! Love the fresh air in the house, and so do the kitties. All those new smells coming in on the breezes!!

MITS said...

Was that better Miss Eagle Eye???:):)

Danelle said...

BBL

MITS said...

How about Dear Lord, please don't let the %$##^& live feed fail:):):)

Suzanne said...

We may be getting hatching number 3 in the owl hotel. Estimated to hatch today, and mom's sure fussing!!

movin said...

Did I understand Steven to say the sound is up?? I'm getting a great picture but no sound.

[:~)]

Jim

Bird Girl said...

HEEEERRRREEEE CHICKIE CHICKIE CHICKIE!!!!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Preaching Meteorologist, both comments were absolutely perfect. Thanks!

deb said...

I like that one, Helen. Eagle at LW.

Love that wiggle to get just right!

wvgal_dana said...

Oh Steven thank you for telling us about someone heard our eagle calling. Wait a minute Steven we like to hear that update but are you teasing us lol ( : ty Steven..

Bird Girl said...

Our eagle was just fiddling around with the nest cup, making it bigger and moving pieces here & there...did see one intact egg but other two were hidden..

Suzanne said...

BW kids are alone again. Snuggling, they're adorable!

wvgal_dana said...

Suzanne which barn owl cam are you watching 1 or 2?

Suzanne said...

Good morning, Birdgirl. Hopefully today is the day for our first chick!

MITS said...

think someone is going to come in for a landing, she keeps looking around

movin said...

Yeah, Suzanne, I think we all love the fresh, Spring air blowing the old, stuffy stuff out of the house.

[:~)]

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Jim you awake now?
Hello there Delphia nice to see your pic on the blog ( :

Suzanne said...

Both, Dana. And the owl in CA. The one in Ca is the one I asked Jo about, she seems to have a broken egg in front of her, but can't see any babies, cause she's not getting up!

MITS said...

might just be a pesky predator lurking around the nest

wvgal_dana said...

Couldn't see the eggs but parent is doing the wiggle into the nest at SR.

movin said...

The way Belle (I think) rocked and rolled on them trying to settled back in, they have to be whole eggs yet.

[:~)]

Jim

Suzanne said...

LOL, you got that right, Jim!!! Except when they do the honey wagons, I usually try to open my windows every day. Well, in nice weather, I mean.

wvgal_dana said...

Suzanne which site it the Calif owl one? I thought I had all of them in my favorities. Might have missed that one.

movin said...

On second glance, it looks like it Liberty on the eggs now.

[:~)]

Jim

Suzanne said...

Jim, think that's Belle. There was a change about an hour or so ago. Unless they changed again, but she seems pretty flat across the egg cup. Don't know, cam is taking it's time refreshing, they coulda changed a couple times!

Bird Girl said...

Our eagle seems fidgety...or maybe she's just bored! Another egg-cup-lining fiddle and wiggle...

movin said...

I see we have several new (-ish) bloggers, AND some of our earlier participants have returned for the hatching today. Good to see everyone!

[:~)]

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Heron egg is showing

Carol_in_WV said...

Whoever is on the eggs - they are not wiggled down into the egg cup. They are lightly sitting on the cup.

Bird Girl said...

gotta go for now folks...hope there's a chick today!

movin said...

Yes, Suzanne, eagle is positioned sideways to the cam now, and it does look like Belle (takes up the whole nest).

[:~)]

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Belle is up again hope she is hearing something ( :

movin said...

The VA cam is down, which isn't surprising lately, but they have a great explanation below the black screen this time.

[:~)]

Jim

Carol_in_WV said...

After removing some fluff (and showing us the eggs) she/he is doing the wiggle.

Mema Jo said...

Just returned - Great shot of 3 unhatched eggs right now down in the egg cup. Turning them & digging deeper. When an eaglet comes - Don't think we'll see it for awhile it is so deep.
There goes the fluff all around

wvgal_dana said...

Carol I don't believe I said Hi ( : to you this morning sorry gal. Hope you forgive me ...

Suzanne said...

Eagle in LW nest!

Joanne said...

This MOM is by far my most favorite of all the eagles in the country. She is so meticulous it just tickles me soooo! in CT.

Donnie said...

Hi Jim,
I'm one of the new-ish blogers. I can't believe that I've missed all the for years. All this information is great.

wvgal_dana said...

It is almost prayer time remember to check there are not too many candles lite??

MITS said...

have a good ride home, Suzanne:)

Mema Jo said...

I have been gone about 2 hrs.. I did keep the live feed up/running during that time. I am glad that if there were problems you all got them fixed because my feed is still running great. Didn't put up the 30sec cam.
Lolly - I know you must be scheming on how to get rid of your dial up!
I know Megan is a happy nestor without her dial up!

Suzanne said...

She has that fluff tucked in so tightly around her, but she's waiting for a new chick and doesn't want her to get cold! Is it windy out?
Hi Carol and Donnie. Getting exciting now, isn't it????

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Helen!

Hi all, and bye all.

Time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle/panda day. Take lots of pics if we get a chick today!!! Blog tomorrow.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly! (Give your monitor eyes a break, look at a distance every once in a while, than back to Belle very closely!)

Carol_in_WV said...

Hi, DANA and SUZANNE. Any other time, Dana, I would have been highly insulted that you didn't say "hi", but I have something much more important to worry about today - the hatching of our first eaglet!!!!! ;-)

MITS said...

Where is PAULA???

deb said...

Has anyone tried to send an e-mail to the momsters address today? I can't get it to deliver, I keep getting an non deliverable message.

Kathy Christian said...

What does everyone mean by new threads?
Kathy

MITS said...

IT WORKED FOR ME, DEB.

movin said...

Morning to new folks, Donnie, Joanne and Carol.[:~)]

Hey, I just opened the Maine site, and they've rearranged the whole site... Looked at the live stream, looks like a beautiful blue sky, beautiful snow-free nest and a beautiful blank where the eagle pair are supposed to be.

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Catch you tomorrow Suzanne

deb said...

I got yours, Helen. I wonder what is wrong with mine?

MITS said...

Kathy, you are on this a.m.'s new thread, if Steven starts a new one today, some one will say NEW THREAD IS UP and we start all over again....I'm not very good at explaining this, but welcome

paula eagleholic said...

2 in the nest!

Brought fluff!

MITS said...

Kathy, you are on this a.m.'s new thread, if Steven starts a new one today, some one will say NEW THREAD IS UP and we start all over again....I'm not very good at explaining this, but welcome

deb said...

I bet the picture I am trying to send it too big. I will check that out.

Nestorations.

MITS said...

Try again, Deb....Jim both eagles were at the Maine nest this a.m. eating a bird

movin said...

Thanks, Dana, I was noticing this morning some of the prayer candles had burned out...
