Wonder Woman of Scotland has her
head tucked under wing. Say there are 3 eggs now. I had them on early evening & such noise coming from her.

Mema Jo said...

I hope no one fell into the SPLIT

We just kept on blogging & sorta forgot all about it

Mema Jo said...

It is very hard to find Tiny
I think between 11 & 12:00
I am looking for Feet & can't find them.........

MITS said...

yeah it is hard, but think I see her at 12

paula eagleholic said...

I went back and recorded that sound we all heard...uploading to blog now.

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, that's where she was...saw that also...

Mema Jo said...

WHOO HOO!


MORE GOOD NEWS - KENT FORUM

MITS said...

well that is fantastic news....where is Deb today?????

paula eagleholic said...

Saw a wing move from the 12 position...what's wrong with blogger tonight...ate my video, have to try to reload.

Mema Jo said...

Don't remember Deb saying she would be gone. Beautiful weather - maybe Deb is removing the stump in her back yard! Hope she'll be here soon.

Blogger Cop ate my comment earlier.

MITS said...

my live feed just went down, but it came back up, thankfully

deb said...

Hi, everyone, I just got caught up on the days happenings. So many side notes to check out, it takes forever sometimes.

Wow, Spirit and Star and a chick at WE. What a day. One person on the IWS site thought the eagles were acting funny this morning and she was right.

I have been to SF. I wish it had been nice and I was outside. Instead in my car all day driving from one end of SF to the other. Cool and windy here.

Lolly said...

We had screech owls nesting and raising a family close by. Every night we could hear them and we got some great pictures when they landed on our bird bath. They actually sounded like a horse whinney, only drawn out.

Lolly said...

Thanks Paula! I definitly saw two today, one head was up and a wing in another location. I sure hope though that there are at least three in OK. Wont be long before we see them as they are so big.

deb said...

Here is a video of the hatching of the egg taken from the WE nest with human help:

Well, blogger won't load it, so I'm putting thru youtube.

paula eagleholic said...

There are pics and video of the WE miracle chick at the CHIL forum (IWS forum)

CHIL forum

deb said...

I forgot to say I got it from the IWS update page that Steph puts out weekly.

paula eagleholic said...

Should have done this sooner, video ready at youtube...maybe you can tell us what this was, Lolly

What's that Sound?

paula eagleholic said...

Well, too many people on the non neokast link...my WE Pic has been frozen for awhile...

MITS said...

well, been a long couple of days and busy weekend coming up, so I am out of here...GOODNIGHT EVERYONE

paula eagleholic said...

Dedication on the WE neokast link

Today's Viewing is Dedicated to Mother Nature.

She's always full of surprises!

deb said...

I don't know what the sound is, but no one liked it, dogs or eagles. I am going to watch the CHIL link you put up, Paula.

Mema Jo said...

You really captured the sound well...however, I can't ID it.
We need a Birder on here!!

paula eagleholic said...

Wray just fed the miracle at WE

Mema Jo said...

Paula Listen to this Screech Owl


Screech Owl

Costume Lady said...

Gene said it sounded somewhat like a Coyote.

Lolly said...

Paula, Jack and I both listened to the video. We agree, it does not sound like a screech owl. do not know what it was.

Lolly said...

Okay.....I'm confused! (nothing different!) The second chick, was it from an egg that was laid after the first was removed? I LOVED the videos. Thanks Deb for the hatching video.

Lolly said...

"Screech" does not mean the call. It comes from Skritch (we think!), meaning small. Screech Owls are small.

Lolly said...

Jo, good recording of a screech owl! It is a soft whinney. Also, I do not think it sounds like a coyote.

Lolly said...

I have replayed the video over and over. LOL Major business here!! I think it is some kind of bird call, an owl of some kind!

Jack and I were sitting out this evening....end of the day on the back patio and a red shouldered hawk flew through the trees just above our heads. It was fantastic!

Mema Jo said...

Well how about that! Sun has already risen in Finland and there is our Osprey at the nest........

paula eagleholic said...

LOlly - you have it right at WE

movin said...

I listened to your clip, Paula, and the sound is definitely not a Screech Owl. It sounds closer to something I've heard in the vicinity of the monkey house at the SD Zoo.

Maybe somebody from WV would know...

Could it be a fox barking or calling? Or is it a bird call? Do they keep animals at the Training Center?

C(°?°)3

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Only wild animals, Jim.

Don't think it's a monkey!

paula eagleholic said...

Anyone watching PH - Mom has been calling out for a long time...can't view it watching neokast.

Mema Jo said...

Still too early for the Norway...
Don't think I will be viewing it very often.. It's 4/19 and only 4:30 am

Lolly said...

Thanks Paula! Loved the videos of the feedings. I do not have neocast, have not downloaded it, therefore do not watch that nest. It is so fantastic!!!!!

Costume Lady said...

The sound could be a Peacock. Perhaps someone is raising them nearby.

movin said...

Very interesting clip of the call of the Screech Owl, Mema Jo.

It, however, is not really a screech; so what we were thinking was a screech owl as teenagers was no doubt another variety of owl. This one really let out a horrendous, terrifying screech; and since it was very dark, and owls fly so silently, you would never know it was coming.

C(°?°)3

Jim

Lolly said...

Jim, that is a very good recording of a screech owl. So, like you say, what you heard as teenagers was another kind of owl.

movin said...

"Blood curdling" was the term I was trying to think of earlier to describe the sound of what we "called" the Screech Owl as kids.

I'll have to look in Wikipedia again. There are common owls, which we had in the San Diego area, that screech to "scare up" game while hunting.

C(°?°)3

Jim

floralgirl said...

oooohhhhh- maybe it's the Blair Witch or sasquatch....

Lolly said...

Sounds scary to me!!

We had screech owls coming in the evenings to our bird bath. Jack set up his camera on a tripod and took a picture. We laughed when we got the picture back. The owls head had turned completely around and he was staring at the camera. A great picture!

Have not had screech owls in a few years. I really listen for them every night. However, Jack did build a birdhouse for a screech owl, just in case!

Costume Lady said...

Megan, you've been watching too many movies. LOL

deb said...

So funny! My first thought was a coyote, also, but it sounded far off.

Eagle in OR in the snow, again!

movin said...

That's very good news about Spirit, Mema Jo...very good.

Did you see how much more material they added today?? That's just the sticks you can see on cam #2, there's a lot more off camera.

C(°?°)3

Jim

Mema Jo said...

Wonder where Delphia's friend is that knows all those bird calls??
Probably was a LOON......... lol
This discussion has been interesting to say the least...
The Snallygaster I bet it was!

deb said...

It is getting dark in OR and eagle is still laying in the nest, maybe spending the night??

Mema Jo said...

Jim - Sherrie on the ME Forum earlier this month really thought that it was
Spirit in some of the pics that had been taken. Anxious to see her reply to Loraine's announcement!

deb said...

I knew that would happen, she stood up, doing nestorations. Ooh, laid back down.

Lolly said...

Snallygaster???? Sounds good to me! LOL

deb said...

I think it is snowing in Kent, too.

Lolly said...

Deb, I have lost the link to the OR cam. Would you please tell me?thanks!

deb said...

The new Wood Duck cam is fixed, no chicks in sight.

deb said...

Yes, give me a minute.

deb said...

I paste this right into Quick Time all on one line:

movin said...

Apparently, the Barn Owl is known to have a horrifying screech, so I did a google for bird calls.

This sounds fairly close to what I was talking about, especially the second recording near the bottom of the paragraph.

Imagine being in the open in a sleeping bag on a very dark night, being almost asleep.....

AND SUDDENLY THIS SCREECH IS HEARD 15-20 FEET OVERHEAD!!

Barn Owl

movin said...

Gotta go, gotta get to the drug store before it closes...

Good night, everyone....

Jim

deb said...

It is getting so dark in OR, I can't imagine she will leave. We will have to check in right away in the morning. She is moving around a lot.

deb said...

I think I am signing off also. It has been a long day. Wanda, I am glad things went well this morning for your mom. I sure hope this shot works!

Mema Jo said...

Norway cam is up with the sea eagle in her nest.....


Sea Eagle Norway

Mema Jo said...

Time for me to leave for the day..
Hoping for weather tomorrow as it was today.....

Good Night Everyone
Restful sleep & pleasant dreams
Prayers being said for all our needs

paula eagleholic said...

WOW - drove my dogs crazy with those calls...didn't sound like any of those....I am leaning towards fox or coyote...but will have to go listen to more calls first.

paula eagleholic said...

I am now thinking a fox, but don't know what kind this is...

Fox call

Lolly said...

Deb, thanks for the help! Still have not been able to get to it, but appreciate your help.

Lolly said...

Paula, I think you got it!

Lolly said...

I mentioned earlier....after looking at the sea eagle in Norway, I do not think those are sea eagles that we having seen at the nest in Finland. ?????

NatureNut said...

Good Evening All. Been checking comments. Strange sound was interesting.Think it sounds pretty close to the fox sound you put on, Paula.
Jo, Thx for sea eagle link. I've been trying to type this afternoon's link in several times & get ERROR.

Lolly said...

Okay, I am tired! Time to go relax in a comfortable chair.

Enjoyed playing "Name That Sound!"

Nite all....sweet dreams!

paula eagleholic said...

Although that prior clip sounded closest, it's not a gray fox or red fox that I can tell....but could still be that. Here's some more sounds

Coyote sounds

NatureNut said...

COOL! Reminds me of my daughter's
backyard at night. She's outside Austin.

Going to call it a day.
Night All

paula eagleholic said...

Good night from here as well. Driving the dogs crazy with the sounds...

See ya in the morning!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
It is 45° here and going up to 82°. Almost the same as yesterday. Going to be a hot one for our babies. My Live Feed is not working this morning. I hope someone else can view the nest and tell us what antics the little ones are up to today.

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

I am here at work and today i can
catch up on my computer work.I am
editing through some photos i took
last week and keep only the good
ones.I may take a hundred or more
photos but only a few will be clear.When i get off work the sun
is on the back side of the nest and
that makes for a lot of shadows.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning everyone. I see no live feed this morning. I am on Thelma's laptop so I can get the still cam. Still haven't figured out what is up with that. She is going through my internet so my internet can't be the problem.

glo said...

Good Morning everyone. No Live here either. Still on laptop BUT not on desktop. Both computers also come into the house on the same feed as well. Tis just one more mystery. Glad to be able to keep an eye on the nest to some degree however.

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning Sharon...
Sorry you can't get Live Feed either. What a bummer. I didn't get to watch the babes very much yesterday and thought I'd make up for lost time this morning, but, NOOOO, someone in Wheeling decided to turn us off for now.:(

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning Glo...
Did you feel the earthquake yesterday?

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Wanda, Dave, Sharon, Glo and Watchers ( :

I see I and several others don't have the "live feed" nor the "30 sec resfresh". Bumper :(

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda did you go eat Crab Legs?

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning Dana...
First thing this morning; NO LIVE FEED. Bad way to start the weekend.

Costume Lady said...

Yes, we did, Dana. They were a little salty. First time I have ever had salty crab legs at China City. Mom was really disappointed, so she went to the raw food bar and had the chef cook her a plate of squash, peas, shrimp and sprouts and loved it. She was in no pain at the time (anesthetic still in affect).

wvgal_dana said...

Glad your Mother enjoyed herself ( : I do keep her in prayer...I do know about "the pain".

wvgal_dana said...

New pics of Bob's on BWO and on BWE a cute pic of face of eaglet Lisa has put up.

wvgal_dana said...

Lady Osprey in Scotland is chirping away this morning. Laid her third egg it said. I think I remember someone had put that in a comment on here. Can't remember who though.

wvgal_dana said...

I do wish we had control of sound on that Scotland nest.

Lolly said...

Good morning all!!! No live feed here as well!!!

Dana, know what you mean about the sound on the Scotland cam. Had to turn it off yesterday to hear the sounds in our nest!

Up early this morning. Going to the zoo with my two children and my three grandchildren. We do not all get together very often, they are so busy. Should be a great day!

Paula, I still say FOX, not coyote!

Have a great day everyone. Hope the live feed is up for you!

wvgal_dana said...

Nice weather for it Lolly and it sounds like your going to have a great time. ( :

wvgal_dana said...

On the Maine cam in the far background. Either the Loch Ness Monster is floating, a whale, or a fishing boat lol

deb said...

Good morning, everyone. It is a nice sunny day here today, headed up in the 60's. Dana, I see the loch ness monster, wonder what it is. Eagle in OR is laying in a snowy nest, darn. I wonder if she laid an egg??

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD SATURDAY MORNING TO WANDA, DANA, NORMA, LOLLY AND ANYONE ELSE WHO MIGHT COME ON. I finally get to watch our nest and no live came here either. Bah humbug.

carolinabeachmom said...

I have been trying to read back on the blog to see any new news. I see where West End surprised them all with a chick of their own. How nice.

Our chicks are really growing and geting those black feathers. Tiny needs to try harder to push hers out. :)

carolinabeachmom said...

WANDA Sorry to hear your Mom had to go through another procedure, but with all our prayers, hope this will be the one that gets her feeling much better.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' CANDY--'OUR LIL' SOUTHERN BELLE'----Haven't talked with you in a long time----I know it's a BUMMER here this am!!!---Did you read that STEVE had a fire at his home last weekend?---Isn't that terrible!!

carolinabeachmom said...

NORMA Yes I saw that. Glad everyone was ok, and hope his historic house can be repapired. Fire is a horrible thing.

carolinabeachmom said...

Co eagle just up off her eggs and I did see at least two there, How many is she supposed to have? Anyone know?

carolinabeachmom said...

Just missed the heron parent. Was sitting back down when I got to her. Her chicks are cute ones.

carolinabeachmom said...

Our chicklets ssure do get around the nest pretty good now. They scare me when they sit so close to the top edge of the nest.

No live cam here yet; just checked.

Geula said...

And here I sit, like the rest of (most) of us, without live feed. Now THAT is something I was surprised about. For 2-3 days now I've had live feed all the time. Every time I opened RP the live feed came up. BWAAAAAAH!

Annmarie said...

I have been reading your blog & would love to view the Belle/Tiny cam. Would someone post the website please? Thank-you.

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all. No live feed here either.

Trying to get the 30 sec cam up too

First WE chick is going home today to meet its newly hatched sibling

paula eagleholic said...

Ah, there it is, chicks at the back of the nest.

And an egg in OR - wonderful!

paula eagleholic said...

This is the 30 second cam

http://www.fws.gov/nctc/cam/eaglecam.htm

The live feed is down at the moment

paula eagleholic said...

annmarie - Welcome! All the links are on the main page of this blog on the right side. The link is there for the cam, and you can get the live feed off the cam page

Geula said...

Cool, I just saw the wood duck in TX, is that the one y'all are talking about (sitting on 24 eggs?)

normabyrd said...

HEY!! GEULA----I FEEL your pain!!--

paula eagleholic said...

Parent on the back of our nest with a nice sized fish, feeding the eaglets!

normabyrd said...

YEAH GEULA!---The other DUCK on 20 EGGS & I think about 15 hatched!!----(day before yesterday)---That was a MARVELOUS SIGHT!!----I am still in AWE when I think about it!!----Can't wait for this crew of 'black fuzz balls'!

normabyrd said...

CANDY---Are you able to view OUR EAGLETS?

paula eagleholic said...

Candy - What CO eagle nest are you talking about??? CO has 3 chicks...

normabyrd said...

ANNE----Join the CREW!---Hope something happens here soon!!!

Costume Lady said...

How cool....now we have Annemarie and Anne-Marie. LOL

Still no Live Feed....going back outside and POUT some more!

Mema Jo said...

WHOO HOO! So happy about the OR egg Deb has seen. Most viewers felt it was too late in the season!

Anyhoo! Good Morning while there is a little left of it!

deb said...

I put a short clip of the egg on my page.

Anne-Marie said...

good Morning all, Master Brandon and I are watching eagles instead of fixing breakfast

Anne-Marie said...

Welcome Annmarie this is Anne-Marie Happy your joining us.

Mema Jo said...

Great quick flick, Deb.

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning Jo & Anne-Marie...
Anne-Marie, have you met Annemarie. Lol
Anne-Marie, did I ever tell you a have a grandson named Brandon also? He is in his last year of college, studying Wildlife and everything that goes with it. He has been a bird lover since he was 2 years old. Everytime he went to visit someone, the first thing he asked was;"Do you have bird nestes?"

Costume Lady said...

Back outside, once again. I am not getting much done.

Anne-Marie said...

Great Wanda, My Brandon goes on bird shoots with me too. We get some great pictures.

Anne-Marie said...

We have a bird in the blue bird cam on wahington sight that wasnt there yesterday.

paula eagleholic said...

Parent still at the back of our nest....chicks snoozing at her feet

Mema Jo said...

I think it is a bluebird Anne - hope it is not the swallow or whatever it was last season that caused commotion. Wanda is the bluebird lady - Need to get her to look at it.
It is awfully dark in the nest

deb said...

I am off to SF for the weekend, be back sometime tomorrow. Have a good day, and I hope live feed comes on soon.

Mema Jo said...

Great Blue Heron parents both at nest area. Mom is standing & you can sorta see the youngins'

ceil said...
