Good Morning Eagle Land!

deb said...

Good Morning, Steven. Thanks for the new thread. I'll get everyone.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

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

floralgirl said...

Thanks Steven, we are all waiting patiently..

dkife said...

Can you please tell me when these eggs are expected to start hatching? Thanks

floralgirl said...

You may be right Sharon.

movin said...

Eagle at Norfolk has switched to a branch on the left side close to the nest, and he keeps looking down. Looks like he is thinking squirrel for brunch. Hahaha.

Suzanne said...

Thanks for the new thread, Steven, and hello to everyone! Lots of new folks here, that's cool.

Suzanne said...

Forgot, thanks for the heads up, Sunny and Deb and Jim!

KarenInCali said...

Have y'all read the update on BWE? The 2nd egg may have hatched. Looks like it may have but hard to tell. No eagle on nest. Father is a delinquent and has not been providing food. Mother may have to try to get father on the nest so she can go hunt but not been an eagle for the last 15 mins. that I can see. Lisa wrote a very good update so check it out if you haven't yet.

Suzanne said...

Good morning, karen. 2nd chick hatched this morning at 0633. That white spot you see in fron of the adult is half of the 2nd shell.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Karenincali, there is a second hatchling at BW!

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---THANKS STEVEN---MORNIN' SUNNY--DEB---DKIFE--& KARENINCALI!!!---(these are folks that weren't on the last blog this a.m.)!!!!---

floralgirl said...

dkife- first egg was laid on Feb. 1,2,3 or 4. Incubation ranges form 32 to 38 days.

IrisF said...

Good Morning Sunny, Deb, Sharon, Megan, dkife, Jim, Suzanne, KareninCali and Norma... Good to see you all once again.

Visit with son and grandson was great, but exhausting.. have over 600 messages to catch up on...

Love little Sylvia and now the new little one. Does that one have a name yet?

Will catch up as quickly as I can

KarenInCali said...

Suzanne, my point is that there has not been an adult on the nest since I started watching 20/30 mins. ago. :-( May be a hard lesson coming over there if father doesn't step up and do his job.

deb said...

Karen, there is an eagle on the nest in my picture. It has been there since I signed on at 8:45 and the time is correct. Maybe there is something wrong with your cam picture?

floralgirl said...

Well, I was looking at some pictures of mom at BW, and this very well may be the dad at BW right now, sits differently, and wings don't cross over tail as moms often do.

deb said...

Dad definitely needs to step up at BWE. Poor mom having to do all the work. Hopefully, he will learn quickly.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I could tell it was Dad by the little white tuft on his right shoulder. Mom just arrived and it looks like with food! Maybe?

floralgirl said...

oh, mom is back.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

It looks like Sylvia and her sibling are getting fed!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

WHHOOOOO HOOOOOOO!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Maybe Dad will get the point now.

paula eagleholic said...

Woo Hoo - news on the live cam and a new chicklet!!

Life is Good!

paula eagleholic said...

Awww, time for breakfast!

floralgirl said...

That is so cute...

deb said...

I knew it was cold here, but have been avoiding looking--I didn't want to know. The temp isn't that bad at 18, but the windchill is -2! I thought spring was supposed to be close.

Sunny said...

I can't actually see food, but they're being fed something. YIPPEE!!!! I hope Mom whips Dad into shape and soon, before it's not too late for Sylvia and Sib.

Suzanne said...

First chick feeding I have seen! Thank you, God!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Nice long feeding

floralgirl said...

Guess she told dad to watch the kids while she caught some food.

paula eagleholic said...

Poor new chick is all tuckered out, bless it's little heart.

Suzanne said...

Well that didn't last long! Darn.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And that looks like Dad back on Sylvia and Sib!

floralgirl said...

Gotta run off to the DR hope there's more news on the live feed when I get back... can't wait to hear sound on this cam!

movin said...

In the meantime while I was watching the BW feeding, the eagle at Norfolk departed.

[:~)]

Jim

Lolly said...

Well, that was my first ever feeding of a chick! Last night I thought I was going to have to stop watching. My heart was breaking!

Suzanne said...

So I must have missed something. Are you all calling Lady BW Sylvia now? Have to admit, I'm behind reading past blogs.
Morning, Iris!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Lolly! Always exciting with new babies!

floralgirl said...

lol, Suzanne- miss eagle eye has named the first chick Sylvia..still waiting to hear the name for the 2nd. BBL

Danelle said...

good morning all! I haven't been able to get on for 2 days. It's exciting that we may have news soon on the live feed! :)

floralgirl said...

Both at BWE

Suzanne said...

FINALLY, both parents at nest with the babies!!!!!

Lolly said...

Both eagles at BW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suzanne said...

Ahhh, family portrait!

floralgirl said...

Cool- how on earth can I walk away from this computer?? gotta go:(

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And Mom is back!

paula eagleholic said...

Suz that feeding lasted 6-7 minutes...pretty good I would say

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Great to see the fish laying in the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

At least there is fresh fish now.

paula eagleholic said...

Welcome Joanne from CT. Quite an extensive forum there...

Lolly said...

Morning all! Yes, these babies are very exciting, especially now that there is food. Last night I was thinking, I can't watch this if that baby is not fed.

paula eagleholic said...

Eaglet branching at CC1

normabyrd said...

sorry--have study group, etc.--LATER!!---

paula eagleholic said...

Also, they have a new video installemnt of "As the Nest Turns" at NBG.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am thinking Lady BW is going to stock up a little bit before she lets him go anywhere.

Lolly said...

Does anyone know how many eggs at BC? I thought I saw two mentioned.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Now, everybody must remember that just because I put a name on these babies, it doesn't mean you all have to stick with those names. In saying that, I think I will call the second eaglet Everett (came up with that because it is the EVE of my birthday and don't want to presume that both eaglets are female).

In the back window of my car, I have a big stuffed eaglet that our Mits gave me and I named him Walter Talonstone!

Lolly said...

Do you think that is Dad on the babies?

Suzanne said...

Morning, all. Thanks, Paula, I only saw the end of the feeding, so didn't know how long it lasted. Also very very good to see that fish in the nest!!! Sure glad of that.
Norma, enjoy study group.
And ok, got the Sylvia thing. The name is bigger than the chick at the moment, too cute.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I think that is Dad on Sylvia and Everett, yes! :)

Suzanne said...

UGH, Sharon, gonna have to pick cuter names for those little chicks!

Lolly said...

Great!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Andrew and Mattie? Just joking!

Lolly said...

I think we are stuck with Sylvia. Not used to Everett though. I liked Sib. :)

Anne-Marie said...

Hi and good by. Just wanted to check in . I'm out the door but I will be lurking all day. Its frustrating but better than nothing. May each of you find smiles today. :) Anne.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, Sylvia and Sib, I like that too.

Lolly said...

Bye! Time to turn the puter over to husband so he can make his morning rounds.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Wednesday Morning ( : Deb, Megan, Sharon, Suzanne, Norma, Karen, Sunny, Jim, Danelle, Lolly, Iris and Paula.

Nice we have 2 chiclets at BWE yeahhhhh

KarenInCali said...

Oh maybe there was something wrong with my cam this a.m. Looked like it was refreshing and saw baby in different positions but no parent so was really worried. Glad mom found food! I guess there are deadbeat dads even in the animal world LOL!

Suzanne said...

Blackbirds in LW eagle nest.

Suzanne said...

Ewwies on BWO.

wvgal_dana said...

Lisa said one day she didn't believe this male eagle. Was the same one from last year. Of course, don't know what happened to that dad. Maybe this one just needs time and lesson's. Mom will make him sit on the chicklets while she hunts I'm sure. ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Suzanne did you wittness the birthing at BWE this morning?

deb said...

Feeding the chicks again.

wvgal_dana said...

paula eagleholic said...

Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave

deb said...

Moosecam is up and Scarface is there.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Jo and Dave....I want to get a pic tomorrow of the new hatchling. I have a day old of Sylvia. I want to compare their size. This one looks alot smaller. Sid or Sib?

Sunny said...

Lady BW must have had breakfast while she was out. She's saving the fishie for the babies. Not taking any more chances. I hope SHE gets enough to eat!

Sunny said...

I used Sib earlier just as an abbreviation for sibling!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Sylvia and Sib (as in sibling).

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Deb I just saw Scarface resting there at Pook's. In reading the comments I clicked on the word
'machine' YOU need one of those yet Deb? lol
I must give thanks that our nest is NOT full of snow!

Suzanne said...

Morning, all. Yes, Dana, saw chick half out of egg at 0633, totally out of egg by 0735. Too cool. Sent you pics.

Mema Jo said...

BBILW Need to read earlier am comments. Life is GOOD! Love those little new ones. And guess where the next little one will pop up - NCTC

Come on Live Feed & Audio!

Stephanie said...

Good Morning Eagle Buddies!

I'm getting sound on our live feed but no picture. Is that what you have or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Overcast in Parkersburg, WV

wvgal_dana said...

Yes got into my mail what great pictures of the hatching.....we were represented by Suzanne lol

Liberty and Belle was both at our nest. Food brought in by Belle. Liberty gone now.

I sort of like Sid??? ( :

deb said...

I went and checked out your machine, Jo. I could maybe use one half that size, every once in a while. Can you imagine having a snow blower that big?

Lisa put up a note saying they think it was Dad that brought in the fish. I hope they are right.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Stephanie ----- OMG. We are getting sound on the live feed but no video. Didn't even know there was a link yet! I am only hearing lots of wind.

wvgal_dana said...

Yeah if it was Dad Yeahhh for Dad.....

Stephanie said...

Me too but looks like we are getting close. When Dad came in a few minutes ago I could hear him calling to Mom. How cool!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

WE HAVE LIVE FEED!!!!!!

Stephanie said...

OMG it's live!!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

But no sound yet!

deb said...

what is the link??

Carol_in_WV said...

Hi, eagle & eaglet lovers! Great to see that second little fuzzy at BW. Stephanie - I did not have audio at our nest. Very windy up here in this mountain. The river was high and very muddy this AM on my way to work.

Stephanie said...

You are right - the wind was really howling earlier.

Stephanie said...

Right Carol - I had audio first with no picture. Now picture and no audio.

Stephanie said...

Thanks to all who made this happen!
And everyone knows who you are!

Steve Chase said...

The audio is turned off for now as it is interfering with the video signal when we turn it on. Hopefully we'll figure it out soon.

IrisF said...

Thanks again for the live feed! It is great!

Off to small group study at church, bbl...

Paula, hope it stays calm until I get back! Good analogy about being quite while eating a good meal!

paula eagleholic said...

dkife said...

Thank you floralgirl. I don't get to watch much during the day, so I always seem to have lots of questions.

4/25/24 both/resident crows

  605 an Eagle to the nest. I believe it's scout that for sure. 609 he left. 646 an Eagle lands on the lamp. I'd believe this is Bel...
