Tuesday PM




There have been some great moments on the live feed today as the adult's feeding positions have given us some great closeups of the three youngsters. The bounty of food is really making a difference in their growth, which is rapid.

Thanks Steve. These babies be jammin'!!!!

n8turewatcher said...

Let me try this again :) I was trying to repost since I was the last on the other thread but wound up re-posting to the old thread again!

*****
Good morning all! I received this story in an e-mail and thought you might appreciate it. It's a very sweet story about an Eagle named Freedom. I just thought I'd post the link in case anyone hadn't seen it.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

n8turewatcher, I saw that last week. The picture of Jeff and Freedom together was the most precious thing I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing it with us!

n8turewatcher said...

That picture was very precious. I checked out the website and in the gallery section there are more pictures of Freedom (and many other birds and animals). He looks very cute when his white feathers are new on his head-they are wild and sticking out everywhere.

Mema Jo said...

Hi Over Here! I am out again to run another errand.
I love my live feed

Thanks, Steve, for the new thread & the pic & comments. I agree that they are healthy looking growing
eaglets.

The article about Jeff & Freedom is very very touching.

deb said...

Paula, I haven't seen Dana on blog since she was telling us what Bob was seeing at BW. (question was on the other thread)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

My live feed will run for a few seconds and then freeze up. I bet I have restarted it about 50 times today. ARRGGGHHHH!!!!

Mauley said...

Good afternoon dear friends, I am almost afraid to type that my live feed is awesome. The last time I typed how wonderful it was, it quit on me. Nature and Sharon, I loved the jeff and freedom story.Opps, excuse me. Hi Sis, nature, Mema Jo, an Deb. donna

Steve Chase said...

It's been working ok for me? :>) I'll pass on your problems.

deb said...

Mine is working ok, also, Steve. ( I hate to jinx it)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Loading, loading, loading!

movin said...

The live feed is on and off for me also. I think it freezes every time I minimize it, for example to post a comment here.

Yesterday, I told you about the Hummingbird nest I spotted opposite my balcony patio....

Well, it was still there and being tended this morning, but now the tree trimmers are out there with a chain saw!!!

I'll have to wait to see if it survives.

The trees need trimming periodically, but Spring is definitely the wrong time.

floralgirl said...

Dang it, me too...loading, loading, loading....load already!! and the 30 sec cam page is still off limits to me:(

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am still banned from it too, Megan and mine is still loading, loading, loading!

floralgirl said...

This is no fun whatsoever... I want to see the nest...going back outside to pout......

deb said...

I knew that saying mine was working was a bad idea. I am back to loading,,,

It is snowing again in Oregon.

floralgirl said...

Loading, loading, loading, I wish this real player was loading, it keeps saying it's loading but it's not...

Jill said...

Hey Sharon, boys went down and back in one day. They both signed letters of intent. They were so happy to be going somewhere away from home where their parents didn't know anybody. Til I told them I had a friend there too. HEHE. Now if we can just get all the paperwork done in time, we will be good.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And keeps on loading, loading and loading!

deb said...

They are taking the Two Harbors chick to the nest today. The watchers there think they are getting close to the nest.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Very good Jill. Just let me know where they are and I will keep them in line! :)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Like the Energizer bunny - it keeps loading and loading and loading!

paula eagleholic said...

Been busy all afternoon...our cam picture and live feed picture looks much better...

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, Guess mine looks good cause it's frozen!!

paula eagleholic said...

Well it ain't no more! Loadin', loadin' loadin', keep that stream a loadin'

paula eagleholic said...

Nothing at TH yet...

paula eagleholic said...

Still 3 eggs at BC

paula eagleholic said...

Parent at our nest, preening. 1 chick at the far end of the bowl, two at this end, at the 8 and 9 positions

movin said...

Bai is trying to sleep on her rock table, but little ZZ is crawling all over her....

movin said...

Did you see Bob Quinn's great set of photos at BWO??

C(°?°)3

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Parent still keeping guard at the 5 spot. Chicks sleeping at 7, 9 and 11.

paula eagleholic said...

Another hour for TH - 6:30 our time

KarenInCali said...

No live feed for me at all today. :-( Can't believe how big they have gotten, tho!

jkatci said...

The live cam is not working at all. The still picture one is and now the picture is quite good....even have a little color and pretty good detail in avery small picture.

Mema Jo said...

Adult eagle has flown out of the TH nest...
I know it isn't time yet but unusual for his to leave nest......

Mema Jo said...

Adult eagle returned...can't see # on wingbling

Mema Jo said...

81 was the one who was on alert & left the nest...
82 is there now & is going to incubate those wooden eggs...

deb said...

Jo, do you have Neokast?

Mema Jo said...

No Deb But on the TH you can access the cam by clicking on the right Non-Neocast Video Link

paula eagleholic said...

Parent gone, kids are flaked out back in the bowl

deb said...

that's what I do, too. It sounds like Neokast is not working very well.

Mema Jo said...

Paula The storkersons should almost be there. Keep looking for a hat to pop up at the side of the nest...

Did you get it Deb?

deb said...

They might be getting closer, 82 just left.

Mema Jo said...

Deb - it only lets me on for a few minutes but then I just sign right back on & the cam comes up

Mema Jo said...

Adult GONE at TH

Is someone coming with a Chick?

deb said...

Yes, I have it, Jo.

Mema Jo said...

I don't see anyone there yet

deb said...

Mine was froze, had to restart it.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And I am still loading, loading, loading. This is getting old!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Heading out for a while. Be back a little after 9. Hope my live feed is up by then! :):):)

deb said...

They must be there!

Mema Jo said...

Off & On I am getting NO VIDEO with black screen...... Then it comes up again.

Mema Jo said...

Dr Sharpe may be cleaning the lens..

Mema Jo said...

They have been seen.... at the nest

Mema Jo said...

I'm reading the IWS comments as I watch.......

deb said...

On Neokast they can see them. My cam is froze at 16:35:27.

deb said...

There it is working!!

deb said...

I thought it was stuck again, but I think Peter was taking pictures.

Mema Jo said...

WHOO HOO! TH HAS A CHICK
courtesy of Dr Peter Sharpe
the storkerson man!


I get so excited at seeing this happen!

deb said...

It is exciting, isn't it! Now I can't wait to see the eagles when they get home to a eaglet.

Mema Jo said...

All Finished!
Now the wait begins for mom and/or dad to come back & find that the egg hatched & a eaglet was left!!!

I'm sure Paula will be bringing a video over for everyone to view.

Mema Jo said...

The little eaglet looks so all alone in that big nest!

deb said...

Back, and gone again.

deb said...

Back, look at your baby!

Mema Jo said...

Adult is back at the nest WHoo Hoo

Mema Jo said...

Can you tell the # Deb

Mema Jo said...

lol just turned & you can see #82
very well

deb said...

I am pretty sure it says 82.

Mema Jo said...

Someone said she may still be watching the humans... No bonding yet with the chick

deb said...

there she is up, looking at eaglet., back down.

deb said...

Now she is there, that is the best!!

Mema Jo said...

Now we're clicking!

This is great - isn't it Deb?

Mema Jo said...

It's good that the chick recognizes the adult eagle face!!

deb said...

It is, I am so glad I got to see it live!! Now it's time to get some fish in that nest!

deb said...

Yes, the eagle head did it's job.

Mema Jo said...

I hope K81 is out fishing - he doesn't know there is company for dinner!

paula eagleholic said...

NO video - but a ton of pics!

check ya later...heading home...

deb said...

I wish 80 would come back, too. Maybe he is getting food.

deb said...

Oops, I have the wrong number for the male.

Mema Jo said...

deb said...

At least we had something to take our minds off our live feed not working.

Mema Jo said...

AMEN

My eagle cam still shows the 3 of them sleeping in a row. At 7:18 there is usually a parent in the nest. I your cam up at all?

deb said...

Yes it is especially nice for people who don't watch the nests to know the facts.

Eagle at BWe, I think it quit snowing in Oregon. Osprey at Wildwatch cam.

Mema Jo said...

Owl report:
Mama Cali with her 3 hooties &
Mama Valmont with her 2 hooties are all doing great!
The barn owl at wildwatch is having big troubles! I registered on the Kids in the Nest Forum and found great info concerning the barn owl & her dying hooties.

deb said...

Jill was asking about them yesterday. She was under the impression the mom was behind it.

Mema Jo said...

Dad has not yet returned to TH nest
Mom #82 still nesting with new eaglet.

deb said...

LIVE FEED IS BACK!!

Mema Jo said...

They are actually trying to send in the vet to examine the deceased one just to see what the cause..
Yes, the mom could have done it..

deb said...

Eagle at OR, eating a fish.

Mema Jo said...

Here Goes Nothing!
Trying to put mine up.......BRB

Mema Jo said...

YEAH

Come on home Sharon
The Live Feed Is Up

Deb you are a diehard! Thank goodness you didn't give up on the
return of the live feed!

deb said...

I leave it up and when the word loading changes to stopped, I know it is working.

Mema Jo said...

lol Looks as though they are getting new fluffy bedding for the night!
My 30sec cam does have same pic as my live feed.

Cover them up good mama.....

Deb can you get a video clip of the nest now? I hope she doesn't try to sit on all 3 of them at once. lol

Sunny said...

Hi Everyone! At our nest, adult is trying to cover up the tots, but they won't stay put!

Mema Jo said...

Thanks for the secret about live feed

I've not seen so much activity late evening as what is going on now..

Mema Jo said...

Cracks me up when I see the eaglet trying to do what the adult does.

Mema Jo said...

Some more fluff for you
A little bit more for you
& if you'll lay down you'll get some too.......... lol

Mema Jo said...

Hi Sunny! It's a hilarious show
being put on in the nest! You came on at a good time.

deb said...

Yes, I went back a little to get it.

Mema Jo said...

I guess they are questioning whether or not they are going to get any of that good stuff to eat before bed!

Mema Jo said...

Slightly having a difficult time getting settled tonight! I think they may have done it now.
Spidey's web has started!

deb said...

They were settled for a little while, but they are still pretty wiggly.

Mema Jo said...

Anyone know what our adult eagle is doing?

FIGHT! FIGHT!

Let's get settled now gang!

Mema Jo said...

#82 is up off the nest TH
Chick seems to be up & alert
Could be hungry but I'm sure he was fed well before being taken to the nest.........

Mema Jo said...

OH MY! I must have missed something because that is #81.........
unless I am getting my numbers
mixed! lol

Mema Jo said...

Yep! Dad is now welcoming the new chick. (#81)

Mema Jo said...

Our night light is on
Belle's head is tucked under wing
All 3 are calm & hopefully asleep

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

YAY - live feed is back!!!

floralgirl said...

Yes.......finally live feed.. that spiderweb really needs to go now.

paula eagleholic said...

Mama K82 is back, Dad K81 hopefully went fishing!

paula eagleholic said...

Mama K82 is back, Dad K81 hopefully went fishing!

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle awake at our nest

deb said...

81 came back with no dinner, 82 left.

KarenInCali said...

I finally get live video back and they are asleep! ARGH! LOL! Hopefully, it will be working tmrw, too.

But thanks STEVE!

Mema Jo said...

Karen- have you gone on IWS forum to see some of the shots of Dr Sharpe placing the chick into the TownHouse nest & taking the wooden eggs. It was great seeing it done.

Mema Jo said...

K81 & K82 are both at the TH nest now. Don't know if food was brought in.. No one has seen a 1st feeding yet.

floralgirl said...

I just watched some vidoes on the ME forum, great to actually see it. I think they were stills pieced together, they show the placement of the chick, and the parent arriving back at the nest.

Mema Jo said...

I think they only had stills..

Everyone is waiting for the 1st feeding. Hopefully 81 (Dad) just flew out for food while 82 (Mom) is brooding the little one. My regular TH cam isn't coming up for me anymore.

floralgirl said...

Yeah, it was stills and he pieced them together so it runs like a video.

Mema Jo said...

During night time Our eaglets seem to want to be right next to each other if not almost on top of each other when sleeping. During the day they like to sleep far apart and all sprawled out.

floralgirl said...

Chillier at night.

KarenInCali said...

K26 gets her "skirts" lifted by the wind

Very windy at PH

floralgirl said...

I am watching that cam, it is really windy.

Mema Jo said...

Blogger cop is awake!!!

That was funny Karen - One year I swear she almost blew right out of that nest - the wind there can be
horrible.

deb said...

Cute video, Karen. I can't get into the editing function to post the video you wanted Jo. I will do it as soon as I get in.

paula eagleholic said...

Here's my gif animation of the TH fostering posted at the IWS forum...also on the previous page or so, Pat posted a video...I'll try to find that link as well.

IWS Forum

paula eagleholic said...

Here's the link for Pat's video

TH fostering video

deb said...

I watched it a couple of times on the IWS forum, Paula, it is great!

paula eagleholic said...

I can't put those on Blogger anymore, you actually have to make them into a movie and put them on youtube or PB...blogger doesn't do animated gifs anymore...although maybe I should try for the heck of it.

paula eagleholic said...

No, they still don't work.

deb said...

Thanks for sharing Pat's video with us, Paula.

deb said...

Eagle at Kent 2.

deb said...

One of the chicks is wiggling and waking up the other two.

MITS said...

Good Evening Everyone, got back home around 9....wonderful day, we all had fun...think I am all caught up on posts and mail....busy day tomorrow, first time back for my zoo shift and zoo meeting tomorrow night so will be there a long time....videos were great, thanks....always nice to see Dr. Sharpe;););)

MITS said...

BTW, I do have live-feed for now:)

MITS said...

all up at the nest..

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, Mits, thought I got a couple of nice shots of the good Dr. ;)

deb said...

Glad you had a good day, Mits. Still no word from Dana? Dr. Sharpe is definitely a plus for the videos!

paula eagleholic said...

Gonna hit the hay folks, see ya tomorrow!

MITS said...

I heard from Dana Sunday night...yes, Paula, always easy on the eyes, and BTW did he put a chick back...oh yes he did...rofl.

Mema Jo said...

Wing flapping and feet flinging!

Been a busy day for eagles from coast to coast. Wish that BC eggs would start hatching...


Going to call it a Good Day!
Good Night Everyone
Peaceful sleep & pleasant dreams
Prayers for all needs being said

MITS said...

I'm right behind you ladies...GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!

deb said...

I always forget the time difference, Night all, I have some more work to do before I follow.

Costume Lady said...

Hip, Hip, Horray! I have live feed for the first time in two days. Now our little family is asleep. Hope it is still on in the morning.
With that said:

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS

movin said...

Evening, looks like TH exchange went well, although the chick might not have been fed by eagle beak this afternoon.

Suzanne, there's a video link at 10:24 above thanks to Paula.

My live feed (visual) is working fine now, but I can't run Pete's Pond at the same time...both Real Player. It was on for several hours without having to restart it.

[:~)]

Jim

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE.

GREAT DAY BIRDING TOMORROW.

[:~)]

Jim

Suzanne said...

Good morning, world. Hump day. Nice out, 50° in PA, but 47° here. No rain, no wind, some fog, so not all bad.
Looks like the kids are getting too big to share the egg cup with mom. Belle is standing on the side of the nest at 1 keeping an eye on the sleeping babies. BW parent is also in nest with her two, but they are all sleeping. Finland nest is MT. Not as foggy there as it has been. Have to open more cams. All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Suzanne said...

Did one of the CO owlette fledge? I can only see one in the nest. I'll have to go back and see if anyone said anything. Well, he may be hiding behind the one in front, have to wait and see in a few if I see both of them.

Suzanne said...

Well, the female osprey has arrived in Finland. Both the male and female are in the Scottish nest. They sure have an awesome view of their Loch. Man, these ospreys have million dollar views overseas! Quite the condos!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning Suz! Live feed is up for now and Spidey's web is really blowing in the breeze!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Sharon. I see his web moving on the 30 sec cam! Just hope he doesn't build a huge condo like he did last couple years!

Osprey has been in the Finland nest for a little over an hour. Guess they're claiming their nest. Was kinda hoping we'd get to see the sea-eagles nest there, but guess not.

floralgirl said...

Good morning Suzanne and Sharon. 46° here, looks like it will be cloudy again today, supposed to be warm the next few days, tomorrow in the 60's.

floralgirl said...

Adult just flew out of nest, to the left, chicks are awake.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Megan. Those kids sure grow a lot overnight, don't they?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

That sure is an ever-growing pile of eaglets!

Suzanne said...

Deer in PA.

floralgirl said...

They are really growing, even tiny isn't so tiny anymore.

Suzanne said...

Deer moved on, turkeys in PA. Yeah, I think our chicks aren't that much smaller than BW chicks. Couple weeks, they'll be caught up. Specially if BW doesn't start eating better!

Athenaa said...

Mornin' ya'll....It's a crispy morning for the Par 3 at 47 degrees! Nippy at BW too at 42. We sure do have a nest full of growing babies here don't we? They are just getting sooo big!

Suzanne said...

Breakfast is served!

Athenaa said...

Suzanne ...what's the link for the osprey nest in Scotland. I think that would be a cool one to watch ..especially if the view is all that...

Suzanne said...

Morning, Athenaa. they sure are paying attention to the food, aren't they?

Athenaa said...

I'll be getting out the bacon ...eggs....and grits ya'll....when ya gonna be here??

Suzanne said...

Atheena, here you go

http://www.thewebbroadcastingcorporation.com/swt/swt.php

Beautiful nest. Mom is there now.

floralgirl said...

Hello Athenaa:) parent flew back out of nest.

Suzanne said...

Oh man, I'm on the way! Can do without the grits, tho. That's just more for somebody else!
Our kids didn't get a very long breakfast. Wonder if Belle has been talking to Lady BW????

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Athenaa, how are you from Bluefield, WV? I will calculate it from there!

floralgirl said...

I'll have bacon and eggs please...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

More fluff just brought in.

Athenaa said...

It's really funny Suzanne ....I was reading about the Pileated woodpecker babies last night and the article said that the parent has to be very careful when feeding their babies to avoid injury because they get a bit aggressive about being fed. So I guess as they get older they get hungrier....LOL..

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I meant to say how "far" are you from Bluefield?

floralgirl said...

Parent is back...

Athenaa said...

Coming right up FG!! How about you Sharon and Suzanne? How do you like your eggs?? Utoh...gotta fix DH's breakfast....LOL fer real...brb....

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Somebody is trying to lift the fluff off of them!

floralgirl said...

Ha ha looks like she's saying go back to bed, covering them with fluff.

Athenaa said...

Sharon I am a looong ways away.... We are doing the Master's Tournament this week!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING LADIES...
The smell of bacon frying, woke me up.

floralgirl said...

Morning Wanda:)

Costume Lady said...

OK, girls, if we hop on the Eagle Express now, we can be at Athenaa's by breakfast tomorrow morning. I like my eggs med well done, on a sandwich with bacon and melted cheese.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Athenaa, I can be there by about 2:30 this afternoon. I like scrambled eggs and floppy bacon. ALL ABOARD!!

Suzanne said...

Hum, you guys are making me hungry! Athenaa, eggs over easy, please. Love bacon. Megan, if you're passing on the grits too, there is gonna be a lot left for the others!
Morning, Wanda. What time do we leave?
Male just arrived in Scotland. Athenaa, did you get the site? Oh, forgot, she's cooking breakfast for real.

Costume Lady said...

I got the Live Feed late last night and was surprised to still have it this morning. I don't have to tell you all how wonderful it is to watch those little wobbly babes. Tiny is almost as big as the others now. It is getting hard to tell them apart.

Costume Lady said...

Floppy bacon...LOL. That is so funny, Sharon. That is the way I like my bacon, but I never thought to describe it that way.

floralgirl said...

I don't like grits or coffee, so help yourselves.
