I've been Osprey watching for some of the afternoon and poping in and out of all the other cams,,I'm getting so confused now as there are so many to look in on now,,I'm getting dizzy.
but I still have to have my darling Mei and gobbo on..I can't be without my Pandas. And my computer gives up the ghost if I put on more than 4 webcams.

New Thread! Thank you Steven & Chrissy for heads up. Looks like afternoon nap our nest. Most of you probably saw Lisa's BW update. I just saw it today. She has some videos attached. One explains the "tidiness" of bathroom habits.I've also seen our baby ospreys go to the edge of nest for same activity.Must be instinct.
Hi Dana, Don't worry too much about our Scotish Lady,, she may have a big mouth,, but she is far from innocent,, she arrived on the 30th and brought a young blood with her and had her evil way with him,, then hubby arrived the next morning and sent him packing,, but WHO knows if the chicks will be daddies ???? She is an old bird but a cleaver one I think..
Bob's different reports: 2:11pm Eaglle just flew over BWO. Headed in direction of BWE
2:24pm Third osprey was flying high above then went to other side of road from BWO and dove for a fish. It missed. Don't see it now. There's a northern harrier buzzing the field behind BWO.
2:36pm One of the BWO osprey just flew off and caught a fish. Its sitting on top of the camera now and the one in the platform is yelling at it.
I wonder why Pearl is all by herself...She was doing something weird with her beak...like panting or throwing up. Do birds throw up? Maybe she had too much to eat.
Back in for a minute to see what all is going on.... Hi Chrissy... Cool that Bob is emailing you Dana with what he is seeing right on the spot reporting! Getting ready to go out - be back early evening. Naturenut - you have a lot of pics in your Nook blog! They are great. Hi Wanda & Hi Mits! Headed for Mass
OH DEAR,,,, I think little tatty tit-bit has got wind, he/she keeps jumping, pity mum or dad can't put him/her over their shoulder and pat.
The Scotish Lady is still shouting,, I think it's because we are expecting very bad weather tonight. The temp is dropping quite a lot and we are supposed to be having heavy snow falls," Country Wide"..
Do you know if we have even a slight covering in the country the whole place grounds to a stand still,, silly isn't it !!!
Another report from Bob Quinn: 3:11pm While one osprey was in the platform, a second on top of the camera, a third caught a fish across the road and tried to land on the platform. It thought better of it at the last second. Now there's none on the platform and two in the field behind the platform.
Back from BW. So it looks like things are still not settled. From what I saw there appears to be a couple but they don't seem relaxed. I did not see them adding any nesting material. They appeared to be on alert the whole time. The third one definitely wanted to land with its fish but it wasn't welcome. I did not see any evidence of a fourth that would indicate two pair competing for the platform. I hope things shake out but so far it does not look encouraging. I look at the pictures later to see if I can determine gender of all three.
Anne-Marie, I wish I could get some energy back too. Being on a vacation for a month makes it hard to get back into the swing of things. Maybe I need a vacation to get over my vacation. LOL
Looks like a speaker on the left side of Belle. Does anyone know if that is what it is? I am willing to buy a new speaker if that will give us audio. (within limits...) Maybe we can all go together and have a yard sale. Whoooah! Sounds like fun to me!
Hi Wanda! I'm Lolly. Started watching while you were gone. Just came in from working in the yard. Could not make out what I could see on the feed. Finally saw Belle move!
Hi Lolly. Nice to meet you. We were near you on our trip. We have been in Texas a few times before, but this time we crossed the whole state from east to west. What a BIG STATE! It took us three days to get through it and into New Mexico. Of course, we stopped a lot along the way. Some beautiful places and some miles of not much of anything. We love Galveston and the Ferry Ride over.
Hi There! around 4:12pm this afternoon when Bob was over at BW I asked: What did Bob put on the osprey platform cam? lol
What you see was right down the center of the cam's pic & it had moved since I first saw it. Must be a stick or something - Like Mits said you can't see it now due to night light. Sure looks as though some more nesting materials have been added to the osprey box.
I was over looking at some of the other cams. I missed the disturbance. Around this time on other evenings she would do this - also wing flapping. We 'supposed' it could have been an owl. She really looks serious doesn't she.
Last night we got home from babysitting our grandson around one (two est.)in the morning. Belle was really alert and the first night she slept beside the eaglets. It really started me!
they are getting so big, Lolly and they are much more able to sleep next to her, but if it got too cold or wet, she would have them under her as best she could.
I think right now Candy needs smelling salt, still plenty of time left, but guess NC feels a little out of its element, because 1st time in Tournament it is not playing in NC, they have had home field advantage til now.
Our daughter has two and they are an hour north of us. Our son has one, the youngest and they are an hour away in Dallas. I would love to have them closer, but at the same time it is good that we can all live our own lives.
I haven't heard anyone else say so BUT my live feed will go into psychedelic colors every once in awhile. I don't close it down - I click on Stop and then I wait a moment & click on Play. Takes a sec but it starts buffering and then comes on.
Mema Jo, I saw that ugly streak down the middle of the BWO cam earlier.
I think it was either a spider leg or an Osprey toe...it moved while I was watching it, and it's gone now.
My cable was down for half the afternoon, so I called them up...it 'was them', repairing a problem. Well, I asked them about the increase of $10/mo., which earlier calls had revealed to be bogus. ...Apparently in wasn't bogus, they don't have the @24.95 Basic now. (Basic is 1.5 Mbs download).
She looked for some promotions, or whatever, and for the next 12 mos., I am getting the standard speed broadband (4X faster than what I had) for the same $34.95/mo they now charge for Basic!!
Now, I've got to look around for a promotion that types a lot faster .... :~)
I remember 2 seasons ago when the eaglets were getting to be this size that they would sprawl out & look dead but were just sleeping. Being first time eagle watchers we were very concerned about them Just like the new watchers are this season.
Fuuny you should mention that about how the eaglets were laying the nest. I remember that and wondered if they were OK also....seems like such a long time ago...it's nice to look at their actions now and realise they are normal...just have to remember to help the first timers along when they see such things.
I had a comment on one of my PH videos, some guy didn't think the chicks would survive because of the pecking in the nest...so I tried to explain and educate on the ways of the eaglets...it's nice to be able to share that information with others.
At least the second feeding of the day that I've seen. Poor tiny was squeezed between the other two, but he used his small size to his advantage and pushed to the front. Two oldest are really using those wings to balance themselves now.

She is one smart bird, Chrissy;)
Thanks for the heads up Wanda. I wanted to bring over Bob Quinns new reports he is emailing me while he is at Blackwater.
Bob's different reports:
2:11pm Eaglle just flew over BWO. Headed in direction of BWE
2:24pm Third osprey was flying high above then went to other side of road from BWO and dove for a fish. It missed. Don't see it now. There's a northern harrier buzzing the field behind BWO.

I wonder why Pearl is all by herself...She was doing something weird with her beak...like panting or throwing up. Do birds throw up? Maybe she had too much to eat.
These comments have been emailed to Lisa also.
I guess they can, Wanda...
parent eating rest of the fish at BWE
Back in for a minute to see what all is going on.... Hi Chrissy...

Female parent at SR is feeding chick again.
Peeking in before I leave -
Parent eagle at BWE
What did Bob put on the osprey platform cam? lol
Beautiful pair on the platform.
Back from BW. So it looks like things are still not settled. From what I saw there appears to be a couple but they don't seem relaxed. I did not see them adding any nesting material. They appeared to be on alert the whole time. The third one definitely wanted to land with its fish but it wasn't welcome. I did not see any evidence of a fourth that would indicate two pair competing for the platform. I hope things shake out but so far it does not look encouraging. I look at the pictures later to see if I can determine gender of all three.
Off to dinner. Will check in later.
Hi everyone, taking a break. boy I wish I could get some energy back. That cold really knocked me on my hiney.
Looks like a Poop-Shoot on the BW Osprey Cam. What do you think, Bob?
Thanks Bob for your "birds eye" view.
Anne-Marie, I wish I could get some energy back too. Being on a vacation for a month makes it hard to get back into the swing of things. Maybe I need a vacation to get over my vacation. LOL
Wow, Tiny just took a shot and almost got Middy! He/she must not know the aiming rules yet.
Parent back feeding 2 youngest. Pearl is starting to stir.
A vacation from your vacation? Sound great....
Worked outside this morning and washing and changing bedding inside. Its time to take the winter bedding off and put something brighter and lighter.
What in the world is on the cam at BWO?
Anne, still having cold nights here. 30s and 40s so, winter bedding will stay on for a while yet.
N'Nut, I don't think Pearl feel very well. She just did a Poop-Shoot on my desk; maybe that will make her feel better.
Tiny's up front & looked liked he/she was pecking at food between parent's bites!
Ok, she is up and eating now, so the Shoot must have done the trick!
Hi, Costume Lady. I didn't see Pearl do that but read that she was acting strange. She has gone to the food bunch, so maybe she's OK.Hope so.
There's another Shoot to our desktops! Glad it missed the cam.
She slept apart from her two siblings and also, was panting. Seems to be OK now. I was a BIG Poop-Shoot, so maybe that is what was wrong. Hope so.
Nap time for the kids.
Have any of you been watching BWO and know what is in the front of the camera?
I think that where they got the saying of sleeping spread eagle.
OK Pecky pearl is just fine now...thats good and she's bad!!!!
Feeding time for SR baby....so tiny
Feeding time at BWE
Annie I have been watching BWO but I have no idea what is on the cam.
I got a message from Lisa BW. She is away in NC until Tuesday. She ask me to let the NCTC blog know.
Two osprey at BW
Two birds in nest and one up on camera....
Boy, Kathy you are close to Sharon.....I bet you might actually know each other.....
looks like Bob left the eagle cane, hanging from the cam at the BWO NEST
more food at our nest...both parents there.
19:09EDT Both adults are at the nest. One is feeding the young but I can't figure out what it has.
Kathy
think it is fish, Kathy
parent just took off our nest.
parent just came back....
both parents there again
good luck Belle, trying to get them back in the egg cup
chicks are pecking at a piece of fish by themselves under the watchful eye of parent
lib just left
Wow, somebody's trying to fly!
Good P Shoot---right out the back of the nest.
parent back at BWE, it is eating.
if Belle keeps digging in that egg cup, they are going to drop down thru the hole
Belle looks absolutly exhausted...getting some shut eye before babes wake up.
Looks like a speaker on the left side of Belle. Does anyone know if that is what it is? I am willing to buy a new speaker if that will give us audio. (within limits...) Maybe we can all go together and have a yard sale. Whoooah! Sounds like fun to me!
Belle says "I knew it wouldn't last". Nap is over.
Hi Wanda! I'm Lolly. Started watching while you were gone. Just came in from working in the yard. Could not make out what I could see on the feed. Finally saw Belle move!
Just saw Spidey crawling up that big equip. piece in lower left corner!! EEK!! At least he was small!
Spidey can walk all over equipment, but he can not walk over the cam. I forbid it!!!!
Looks like all is peaceful. Need to clean up from working in the yard. BBL
BWE chicks alone in the nest
Hi Lolly. Nice to meet you. We were near you on our trip. We have been in Texas a few times before, but this time we crossed the whole state from east to west. What a BIG STATE! It took us three days to get through it and into New Mexico. Of course, we stopped a lot along the way. Some beautiful places and some miles of not much of anything. We love Galveston and the Ferry Ride over.
Looks like Poop-Shoot on BWO cam. I wonder how it will ever get off there if that is what it is. EEEWWWIE!
I think it is some kinda stick, Wanda, it is showing up white now that the infra-red light kicked in
I hope that it is a stick and not poo, but how will they get it off the cam. Maybe one of the Ospreys will use it for the new nest.
that is what I'm hoping
although it could be a lose wire...maybe Bob will know, although I think this showed up after he was there.
Hi There! around 4:12pm this afternoon when Bob was over at BW I asked:
What did Bob put on the osprey platform cam? lol
What you see was right down the center of the cam's pic & it had moved since I first saw it. Must be a stick or something - Like Mits said you can't see it now due to night light. Sure looks as though some more nesting materials have been added to the osprey box.
I remember you saying that, Jo, how is your evening going?
wooo, Belle is awake and she is yelling.
too bad we don't have sound
she is alert
blinking eyes...
she is still awake, wonder what it was?
not only do I miss the eagle sounds, but at night you can always hear the "spring peepers" and I miss that too.
I see Belle is very alert. Mr. Owl must be flying around!
I was over looking at some of the other cams. I missed the disturbance.
Around this time on other evenings she would do this - also wing flapping. We 'supposed' it could have been an owl. She really looks serious doesn't she.
Our three eaglets just look like a blob in the nest!
I'll say, would not want to cross paths with her right now
she had been sleeping so peacefully
Mits - doing pretty good this evening.
Was looking at WildWatch cams.
The osprey cam is crystal clear but of course there are no osprey in the nest!
they didn't even move when she awoke and started to yell
Last night we got home from babysitting our grandson around one (two est.)in the morning. Belle was really alert and the first night she slept beside the eaglets. It really started me!
I'm wondering how it got so clean, thought I had sent you a pic when the osprey was there.
I wonder where Candy is? I know right now that NC is not winning.
they are getting so big, Lolly and they are much more able to sleep next to her, but if it got too cold or wet, she would have them under her as best she could.
The eaglets are too large to get them all underneath! Unless it rains - then those wings expand!
Ahhh! She is going back to sleep!
You did send me the pic of the ospreys- but it even looks cleaner tonight!
Lolly how far away are the grandkids.
I think right now Candy needs smelling salt, still plenty of time left, but guess NC feels a little out of its element, because 1st time in Tournament it is not playing in NC, they have had home field advantage til now.
yes, resting at last, she has her own built-in awning when it rains.
Our daughter has two and they are an hour north of us. Our son has one, the youngest and they are an hour away in Dallas. I would love to have them closer, but at the same time it is good that we can all live our own lives.
I haven't heard anyone else say so BUT my live feed will go into psychedelic colors every once in awhile. I don't close it down - I click on Stop and then I wait a moment & click on Play. Takes a sec but it starts buffering and then comes on.
I guess there was not another hatching in CO or I would have read about it, nor at BC. Right?
Jo, that has not happened for me and, as you know, I have the media player like you.
Whoops! Belle is awake again.
I haven't been to some of the cams or the forums to see if CO or Barton's Cove had a hatch.
I just might go there now.......
CO as of 7pm still looked like just 1
Bartons' Cove still looks as though all 3 eggs are there
Mema Jo, I saw that ugly streak down the middle of the BWO cam earlier.
I think it was either a spider leg or an Osprey toe...it moved while I was watching it, and it's gone now.
My cable was down for half the afternoon, so I called them up...it 'was them', repairing a problem. Well, I asked them about the increase of $10/mo., which earlier calls had revealed to be bogus. ...Apparently in wasn't bogus, they don't have the @24.95 Basic now. (Basic is 1.5 Mbs download).

Howdy, all. My first peek at our cam since this morning. Belle was awake for a little while, but she is back sleeping now.
Worked all day and went to my GF's house for dinner. Have to go to work for awhile tomorrow yet...
Sounds like things are well here..:)
Belle is up again.
Practice Jim, Practice!
Chicks are trying to get comfy...I am really surprised how much they actually stay in the cup...they are still so clumsy :)
chicks awake, Belle is awake..
shook her head and is now back down.....GOODNIGHT EVERYONE.
I saw mention of the eldest chick panting today....it was warm out...
belle's head is tucked back in...
please fogive any typos...long day!
Lots of action at BW..hope it settles down soon...
glad to hear about the SR chick...saw it cracking last night before the cam went off
Anyone heard from Nilla?
YES, Paula, it was warm in the sun, even though temp was on the cool side...
It just looked like panting to me.
I remember 2 seasons ago when the eaglets were getting to be this size that they would sprawl out & look dead but were just sleeping. Being first time eagle watchers we were very concerned about them Just like the new watchers are this season.
Paula you are having a very long work week! Glad you had some free time this evening.
No words from Nilla recently.
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE...
Got to go get some El Pollo Loco for dinner, and I need to take care of one or two other things along the way.
Happy birding.
Jim
Closing down for the day.......
Good Night Everyone
Pleasant dreams & peaceful sleep
Prayers for all needs being said
Nite Jo! Sweet dreams!
Just got home a bit ago, Belle is awake and looking around. Long day today, but had a good time in Omaha.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS
Sea eagle just arrived in finland nest. Looks like another foggy morning.
Good night, everyone, talk to you tomorrow!
Fuuny you should mention that about how the eaglets were laying the nest. I remember that and wondered if they were OK also....seems like such a long time ago...it's nice to look at their actions now and realise they are normal...just have to remember to help the first timers along when they see such things.

Yes, Paula, appreciate all info! I have really learned a lot the last few weeks and I am addictied!! Nite! Time to hit the sack!
Make that "addicted"! Nite!
At least the second feeding of the day that I've seen. Poor tiny was squeezed between the other two, but he used his small size to his advantage and pushed to the front. Two oldest are really using those wings to balance themselves now.
