Thanks Steve and NCTC crew for getting the sound back on the live feed!

movin said...

Thanks much, Steven. Appreciate the live feed and the songbirds this morning.

I hope your historical house is OK.

I'll give the notice on the old thread now.

deb said...

Thanks, Steve, I hope things are moving along well after the fire.

deb said...

Check out the wood ducks, now, you can see more of them.

Suzanne said...

Phew, that was a chore to get here. Had to sign in again. Grrrrrrr.
Morning, all. The kids were fed about 6-6:30ish this morning. Parent came in, gave them leftovers, and left. They had an early breakfast.
Don't know what else I missed.
Scotland ospreys are arguing about a fish one of them brought in. Still 2 eggs. One has the fish caught in talons, oh, never mind, that was dad and now mom grabbed the fish and is eating it. Ok, no she flew off with it. So guess it's dad's turn to sit on the eggs. He has his talons all curled up and is so gentle. Oh funny, there he goes moving the moss out. OH, there are 3 EGGS!!!!!! OMG, just saw that when he moved them around. W0W, wonder when she laid egg #3. At least I think I saw 3 eggs. OMG, what a woman! Dad is rubbing the sides of his bill on the moss. Trying to clean it, I guess.

Suzanne said...

Deb, they are adorable. All those little babies clustered together.

normabyrd said...

STEVE!!--HEY!!! We can listen and see the EAGLETS on this beautiful morning---Thanks---We are 'HAPPY CAMPERS'!!---Truly hope that you are getting things repaired!!--Best of Luck-----

deb said...

Now the duck is back down in the box, she was perched on the side of the box.

normabyrd said...

DEB---I saw them earlier--THE BEST!!---Can't seem to get the site to open now!

deb said...

They are trying to get out of the box now.

Suzanne said...

Check out the Finland nest. The osprey have brought in a whole bunch of sod balls! Guess they're gonna claim it for real, now.

normabyrd said...

ORGEON NEST--MT---Less snow & more sticks!!

deb said...

They are almost all out of the box already. They are fast for new hatchlings, only 2 left.

Mema Jo said...

Come on you little guys - Wake up & make some noise!!! Thank you Steve & NCTC/FWS....

Good Morning Everyone

Watching the wood duck excitement

Hurry over they are leaving now!!!

Suzanne said...

OMG, they sure are. Quick little things! Looks like 5 eggs didn't hatch, so she has 15 little ones to watch!

Mema Jo said...

Come on little ones - climb up there & just jump!

deb said...

Now only one left.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I hear a towhee from our cam and have one out here!! How cool is that?

Suzanne said...

That last little guy doesn't look like he wants to go. But he's all by himself, so come on little guy, you can do it.

deb said...

Poor little one, go join the rest!

Suzanne said...

I can just view the refresh pics, but it looks like he's trying but keeps falling back in the nest. Is that what's happening?

Mema Jo said...

That is cool Sharon!

Here is last year's jump...


Link to Video Parajumpers

deb said...

I think so, too, Suzanne.

deb said...

There we go, a little human help to get the last one out.

Suzanne said...

Awww, all gone.

Suzanne said...

Oh Deb, did someone come and lift him out?

paula eagleholic said...

I want to hear Lib arriving at the nest with a fish!

normabyrd said...

The TX WOOD DUCKS have FLEDGED!!

deb said...

They opened the door on the side of the box and then on the next refresh it was gone.

deb said...

Paula, a flopping fish would be good.

Suzanne said...

Jo, that video is adorable! They just take the plunge, shoot out of that tree like little rockets!

Suzanne said...

Ok, thought it was lighter in there. Loved Jo's video.

normabyrd said...

Thanks JO!----I think this year's
DUCKLETS are cuter!!--May be it's the lighting!!! ho!

Suzanne said...

Looks like the snow has melted on Finnney's nest. Sun is shining right on it. Still snow on the ground, tho.

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

Good eagle watch Morning everyone
The eaglets here are doing ok.I
went after work yesterday to check
on them and found both adults were
gone so i think with three eaglets
to feed it's going to take both
to keep the food supply coming.

Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave

normabyrd said...

I have truly enjoyed watching these ducklings----LIVE IS GOOD!

deb said...

Eagle in OR nest is eating.

deb said...

Done eating, doing nestorations, now both there.

movin said...

If you've been dying to see Fatty the Crocodile at Pete's Pond, he is sunning himself upon the bank of the pond now.

Jim

normabyrd said...

WHOA--INDIANA DAVE!!---You are beginning to sound like a 'worried DAD'-----COOL!!!

normabyrd said...

Thanks DEB!---Nest always seems to look better with an EAGLE in it!!--ho!

movin said...

Good morning to Suzanne and everybody.

Have a safe drive home, followed by a great day, Suzanne.

I think I'll get some coffee, etc., and see what I can see about the Pope. Found a site on-line yesterday that showed his whole address to the bishops.

Later, my friends.

Suzanne said...

Here comes the ferry in Finland.

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

nest.

Indiana Dave

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Candy, Suzanne, Paula, Dave, Mits, Norma, Deb, Jim, Wanda, Sharon, Jo and Watchers.

Hope the sound last...sometimes it sounds as if it will stop....fingerscrossed it won't. Wonderful great picture at "our nest" ( :

normabyrd said...

SORRY JIM----I can't now--but thank you!

Suzanne said...

Good morning Dave and Jim. Dave, I saw your pics, and your babies are adorable!!!

Jim, thanks, I try to stay safe. Wow, sounds like an interesting site. The Pope has been on the news all morning. Don't know if they showed his Mass or not, can't watch.

Suzanne said...

Oops, good morning, Dana. You came in while I was typing!

normabyrd said...

INDIANA DAVE----You will be a GOOD PARENT!!---ho!----Wishing good health for your EAGLETS!!!

Suzanne said...

Egg turning, Scotland.

Suzanne said...

Ok, saw 2 eggs, not 3, so guess I was seeing shadows earlier. Or something.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' LOVELY DANA!!---Have FAITH-----the sound was on when I logged on & still there!!----Isn't it wonderful!!!---Hope you are feeling better!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

There goes Baby Littley to the Spunky Spot!

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---I don't think I have received the FINNEY site?---Did you send it & I missed it!!---

Suzanne said...

Norma, are you watching Tai? He's a hoot!

normabyrd said...

HEY SHARON!!---You are feeling better---I CAN TELL!!!

Suzanne said...

Norma, I sent it to you in email, and also posted it here this morning, other blog now. But here it is again.
http://www.saaksi.fi./

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---I think I just saw him--'marking' that tree!!---Laughing so hard I can't type!---Marking isn't the right word?---He covers his estate --- never seems to take too many short cuts!! ho!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Now I have sound but no pic. Just says "connecting".

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am somewhat feeling better, Normabyrd. Trying to get back to the land of the living! :)

paula eagleholic said...

Quiet on our nest,

Look at BWE chicks feathers, starting to look pretty :)

Suzanne said...

Time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle/panda day. I actually got to see ZZ on cam today! First time in a long time. Scottish osprey is just having a fit over a piece of wood in the nest. Keeps moving it, then scratching. Puts it one place, then moves it back where it was. Not happy with that whatever it is. Snow is melting on the ground at Finney's nest. Nest is already clear of snow.
Ok all, outta here. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

wvgal_dana said...

See you tomorrow Suzanne then it Friday your last day ( :

normabyrd said...

KEEP WATCHING FOR HELEN ON TV!!---I BET SHE WILL NEVER FORGET THIS DAY!!!----So HAPPY you were there today HELEN !!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Chicks are looking restless...ready for lunch

paula eagleholic said...

Now they have all traipsed down to this end...oops one just headed back...

Costume Lady said...

I think they must be looking for Mom and Dad.

paula eagleholic said...

Sharon, my RP is still working fine

Costume Lady said...

Tiny may try to fly.LOL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Is anybody else having trouble with the live feed? Mine is connecting, connecting, connecting and it has sound but no pic.

Mema Jo said...

Mine is doing ok - Not sure if I have the sound - earlier I did.

Tiny best get away for the edge....

normabyrd said...

SHARON---I have my RP up---but I have been on phone & now--I notice the EAGLETS haven't moved for quite a while!!!!

Costume Lady said...

Sharon, believe it or not, after almost 2 weeks, I have Live Feed and SOUND!

Costume Lady said...

You know what...if one of the other 2 chicks should bump into tiny, he would be over the edge!

deb said...

I agree, move back Tiny, that is too close, makes me dizzy watching. My player is still working fine.

normabyrd said...

SHARON---Just reloaded the RP & I am fine now!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, restarted my RP and it is working now. Thanks!

Costume Lady said...

What a sweet sound...must be hungry. Come on Mom or Dad!

normabyrd said...

DEB---what birth # is the lighter colored EAGLET?---Is that #3?

paula eagleholic said...

Man, Tiny is right on the edge of the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, Norma, the lightest one is the youngest one.

Costume Lady said...

What a little daredevil!

paula eagleholic said...

I don't get nervous watching these guys, but he is making me nervous

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding in CO

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

There goes Baby Littley back to the Spunky Spot!

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding Peter cottontail in CO

paula eagleholic said...

Whew, I feel better now, all 3 at the back of the nest

deb said...

I left the room for awhile and couldn't see Tiny at first, my heart dropped, then I found him.

Costume Lady said...

I wonder how many more times they will make us hold our breath?

deb said...

Nothing since 6:30 this morning. This is new to me, should I stop worrying where Belle and Lib are?

paula eagleholic said...

I wouldn't worry, Deb

paula eagleholic said...

BC chick sitting up, looks good...wish that egg would get out of there...it's not gonna hatch

paula eagleholic said...

BC chick just did a tiny lil poop shoot...hope he gets fed now.

deb said...

OK, I'll stop, that's a relief. They had moved the egg yesterday a little, so I thought it would be gone today.

Costume Lady said...

Deb. that is the last time I saw them also.

paula eagleholic said...

Aah, lunch has arrived at BC - YAY!

Chickie knows it too!

paula eagleholic said...

Awww, it's hungry...snatching that food quickly

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Sure do wish Baby Littley would quit moving toward the edge.

Love it when we have sound to go with the visual on the poop shoots!

paula eagleholic said...

I love how our chicks are finally learning to walk, but they are still clumsy!

paula eagleholic said...

He does seem to like those edges!

paula eagleholic said...

Out for errands....BBL

Bob Quinn said...

Did you all see the article in the Post today on the eagle nest on the GW Parkway?

Article

floralgirl said...

Well, I did now- thanks Bob! Can't believe they would build a nest on such a busy highway.

normabyrd said...

The reason I asked this crew is behaving like are last EAGLETS did!!----The 2 older ones hang together & #3 is alone!---That's why I seem to be watching her!!---She seems so alone!!

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Bob read the article...boy they sure put their nest on a very busy road. I can that is testament to what was said about "not enough territorial nesting ground left for eagles".

floralgirl said...

lol..tiny is trying to hide in the shade of his siblings body.

floralgirl said...

well, so much for that idea...

deb said...

I know Paula said not to worry, but it has been a long time hasn't it, for no parents in the nest? I would feel better if they would show up.

paula eagleholic said...

The leaves on the ol' sycamore should be out soon, hopefully that will provide some relief for our chicks...they look hot today

deb said...

Chrissy sent an e-mail, she can't get on the blog.

paula eagleholic said...

Deb, they could be right above or nearby out of sight

normabyrd said...

Thanks BOB! What a marvelous story----I hope the POST will continue to follow them & keep us updated!!---Only one word to describe them---MAJESTIC!!----I so enjoy watching them!!----WOW!!!---

Costume Lady said...

Can you all hear the pitter patter of little (I mean Big) feet?

deb said...

I know, Paula, I keep telling myself that. It is just hard to get used to seeing them alone on the nest for so long.

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, nesting in the median strip, no less!

normabyrd said...

DEB---PAULA is right---Every time we have gone to the nest--The EAGLES are always on a limb above the nest!!----STEVE said that the other day---We were worried that they had left the EAGLETS alone--- He said he saw the parent EAGLE on the limb above them---

deb said...

YEAH, I am so happy now!

wvgal_dana said...

Feeding time at our nest

Costume Lady said...

Thank goodness...FOOD!

paula eagleholic said...

There ya go Deb!!

NatureNut said...

Back after watching the Pope.
Was just going to inform you about the Arlington eagles. Thx Bob for posting the article. Amazing isn't it! First time I've seen any info on our famous Wilson Bridge George.
I hope he didn't take up with the Floozy!
Park news is our ospreys in cam nest have 3 EGGS. Got pic of cam I'll put on later. While watching eagle nest, I saw two little flashes in front of and next to Mom of thin brown object. I'm guessing it was a tiny wing tip!
Since leaves are coming out, guess I will start observing w/binoculars.

paula eagleholic said...

Listen to that peeping!! Music!

NatureNut said...

Wow, having sound on is great...know when something's happening, like now! Lunch is being served.

normabyrd said...

I bet the little 'BUDDIES' are warm!!---temp here now is 81°---Bless their little hearts----

deb said...

I will get used to the new level of parent activity, first day jitters!

paula eagleholic said...

Must be a mammal....

paula eagleholic said...

Man they are grabbing it before parent can get it pulled off the carcass!

paula eagleholic said...

How would you like to hear all that constant peeping at your dinner table? :)

paula eagleholic said...

This looks like Liberty to me

wvgal_dana said...

Hee hee it's wonderful I had to turn my sound down alittle lol

normabyrd said...

DEB---Don't you think if we had to listen to all that squawking---we might do what BELLE & LIBERTY does too!!! ho!

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like a leg there...

normabyrd said...

PAULA---I think you just took the words out of my mouth!!---(swear i hadn't read yours)

paula eagleholic said...

I wonder how far out from the nest you can hear all that peeping!

paula eagleholic said...

Did you see the middle one tugging on it while Lib was trying to tear it off?

normabyrd said...

Have to do some work!!----But I DO enjoy hearing the little ones!!!

wvgal_dana said...

I think they are still hungry...( :

deb said...

I think they are, too, Dana.

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, I guess it's all gone! Feeding stopped suddenly!

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, that's Lib....I guess Mom isn't nearby, otherwise she would have followed him right into the nest.

wvgal_dana said...

Where is Sharon?

paula eagleholic said...

That chick was trying to get under Lib....soo funny! About pushed him off the nest! So he got out of the way and took off from the left!

Mema Jo said...

I think I just saw SPIDEY in real life crawling around on the cam...

MR RP went down but I got it right back up/running..... Can't tell if I have sound since they are sleeping..

Mema Jo said...

That is not MR RP it is
my RP....

Mema Jo said...


Today's Wood Ducks Fledging


These are just the still pics

floralgirl said...

MR. RP is running great here:) lol.....

floralgirl said...

Adult just flew into nest-

paula eagleholic said...

MOre food! That chick was calling out like a pro!

paula eagleholic said...

LOL - did you hear that, JO??

NatureNut said...

Wow, loud screaming! Chick or adult? What's the dinner appetizer? Looks like a big, brown blob. Not a fish.

Mema Jo said...

Man what a view - Pearl is really really large! No wonder the adults aren't in the nest all the time.

I sure can hear them............
I guess Middy is going to stretch out & come up to the feed.....

paula eagleholic said...

Crap, lost my video of that nice landing

Mema Jo said...

Yeah! Tiny got some

Mema Jo said...

I see Tiny is starting to get some dark feathers - Once she does - we may not be able to tell them apart so well much longer.......

Mema Jo said...

One flew out
They all ducked their heads

NatureNut said...

Guess the "big, brown blob" I saw before was adult's shadow. Now they're eating an older fish. Tiny was the 1st one begging, but the little piggies have muscled in.

NatureNut said...

So funny....a Tiny BIG wing flap & then a P.S. you could hear!

paula eagleholic said...

Chicks have been snoozing at the back of the nest. One got up and did a ps and laid right back down...

Heading out here soon, my Mom is coming up and we are going to dinner for my birthday...will try to do some videos later tonight...

deb said...

OK cam has been fixed. I am watching now to see if I can tell how many chicks there are.

deb said...

Both adults are in the nest right now, so can't see anything yet.

paula eagleholic said...

Parent back our nest

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Belle, she didn't bring any food, but chicks have started peeping, she went to the back of the nest, and then looks like she flew up in the tree, and the chicks looked up also.

paula eagleholic said...

What are you watching Deb

paula eagleholic said...

Oklahoma? They got theirs fixed, I think I saw 2, maybe 3 chicks there yesterday

paula eagleholic said...

GOT IT _ OK cam...

deb said...

Yes, that is what I am watching. I didn't know it was fixed. The last time I looked it was still down.

paula eagleholic said...

Chicks are a peepin for dinner!

paula eagleholic said...

I hadn't tried it in awhile, but it was on yesterday...don't know how long it's been back on....can you see any chicks

paula eagleholic said...

I see one parent left...can't see any chicks right now, must be laying down in the nest. Just checked Maine forum, someone saw 2 yesterday also. I did a video from yesterday, but hadn't processed yet. Was too tired last night

deb said...

I have seen 2 for sure, but it is hard to see them.

deb said...

I just checked Maine, also. Sounds like the cam just got fixed this week.

paula eagleholic said...

Have you used the zoom in thingy?

paula eagleholic said...

There's one now...

paula eagleholic said...

Now 2

deb said...

Right now you can see one clearly by the post in front.

wvgal_dana said...

"Our nest" just went down can't get back yet.

deb said...

I lost mine, too, Dana.

wvgal_dana said...

Deb for OK what thing to zoom is Paula talking about. I can't even see in nest?

deb said...

Dana, I totally missed the zoom in question, went to feed the dogs. I don't know what she is talking about, I can see the nest, but no zooming.

wvgal_dana said...

For some reason OK nest doesn't stay up only about 2 or 3 minutes. Then it is hard to get for some reason.

deb said...

I found the zoomy thing, but lost the cam in the process. On the left corner of the cam there are some controls, if you put your mouse over them. I tried and lost my picture and can't get it back.

deb said...

I would send Steve a note about the cam, but his internet is down and he wouldn't be able to read it.

Mema Jo said...

DEB: Good info from OK site about our absent parents.....

Week Five: Male and female parents bring relatively equal amounts of food. Parents begin spending more time away from the young and often perch in nearby trees.

Mema Jo said...

I have the Sutton OK site but no picture on cam. I can get the 6 small controls to come up but without pic-no sense in doing it.

deb said...

Yes, that is good news! I can't get that cam back open now. OR is acting goofy, too. I am not sure if it is my computer or the sites.

Mema Jo said...

I have also lost my Live Feed

deb said...

I got OR back, but not the best picture. I will try OK again.

deb said...

No go for OK.

floralgirl said...

Well, shoot- lost live feed too-connecting........NOT

Mema Jo said...

My live feed is gone...

DEB the OK guy say they only turn the cam on every now & then! So that is a hit & miss situation......I had been reading the ME forum notes

deb said...

Feeding, our nest.

Thanks, Jo, I must have just lucked out when I opened it today.

wvgal_dana said...

So we have lost ours and Ok. well 8pm starts tv channel 9 for me. I'll be watching that and trying to get our cam back and Ok. back.

Costume Lady said...

Me too, Dana.

Costume Lady said...

We can survive with Survivor.

Costume Lady said...

And CSI.

Costume Lady said...

Where's Helen? I'm anxious to hear her account of her day with the Pope.

wvgal_dana said...

Yea there Wanda ( : sounds like we are going to be watching same thing on tv lol

deb said...

I'm off to watch Survivor, BBL.

Mema Jo said...

SPLIT IS A COMIN'

JohnNCTC said...

Reset feed...no audio, unable to enable the audio remotely...that one is on Bill Gates..Have a great evening.
