Lovely Good Eagle Morning to All...
Been watching our nest. Someone just performed major flapping!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

THE INDIGO BUNTING HAS NOW ARRIVED AT MY HOUSE!! YEAH!!

MITS said...

paula eagleholic said...

Mits - forgot to tell you thanks for the bird song link....keep em comin

paula eagleholic said...

They thought that because the Norfolk eagle was really antsy the other day..

NatureNut said...

Wow, looks like breakfast on our own!

NatureNut said...

Now parent back to do breakfast. Tiny left his/her stash & joined others to snatch some bites away.

normabyrd said...

Is that #1 or #2 standing?---Can't tell?

normabyrd said...

My RP had frozen---Took some time to notice they weren't moving!---Closed it & reopened---All is well!---ANSWER:--no one is standing---

MITS said...

osprey in Finny's nest

Suzanne said...

Osprey in Finney's nest! May be in for the night, it's 20 after 6 PM there! Sure is watching the sky, wonder if mate is coming in too.

Suzanne said...

Started to say egg turning in Scotland, but the osprey left. Eggs are unattended at the moment!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Wouldn't you just love to be standing by the barn watching that nest??

MITS said...

yes, Sharon, don't know why I'm sitting here watching it on the computer..

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE!---SAFE JOURNEY HOME---LOVE PATS FOR QUEEN SHEBA AND HER COURT---A SPECIAL PAT FOR GYPSY---

normabyrd said...

Have you all read the TX WOOD DUCK SAGA!!---DEB mentioned it--I didn't realize it was such a mess!!!

normabyrd said...

The 'AWESOME 3' have staked out their territory!!---and no one better cross their line!!!

Suzanne said...

LOL, thanks, Norma. I will give the Queen and her court pats, special pats for mom Gypsy! What happened to the wood ducks? I checked their 2nd nest on cam, and nest was MT, so I thought they had all fledged.

normabyrd said...

Male Stork just flew into the nest!----MOM stands up & both stand & bend way over to check the eggs!!----have never noticed that behavior before!---DAD seems so interested!!---COOL!

movin said...

Well, happy birding, everyone.

Safe drive, good day, Suzanne.

I'm off to the Dr.

[:~)]

Jim

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE just SCROLL Down!! --- there are 2 FEMALES fighting over the eggs, etc.---

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' JIM---Wishing you the best at Dr.'s office----Will have you in my thoughts!!!

Suzanne said...

Jim, hope everything is alright at the Drs this afternoon. Thanks, can't wait to get home and open windows! And see who visits my feeders!

normabyrd said...

OSPRY -- BWO nest---LISA believes there will be an egg---The two are sharing the nest & food!!!

Suzanne said...

Time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Bird Girl said...

Look at our adorable babies!!! Huey Dewey and Louis LOL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, that sounded like somebody shooting.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' BIRD GIRL!---Those names are easy to remember!---ho!----They are growing so fast!!---Have you noticed?

MITS said...

thought I heard a trash truck

MITS said...

now hammering...

MITS said...

well, obviously noise does not bother the eaglets

MITS said...

lunch time at the nest

Carol_in_WV said...

Hi, eagle lovers! Did you all see that - adult flew into our nest and one of the eaglets rushed over and mantleed for a few seconds at the feet of the adult? Adult now feeding youngsters.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE...
I have been on the phone for 5 hours (honestly) trying to get my computer cleared of the virus that made it sick! I talked and listened for a while, then Gene would take over. When he got tired, I would take over again. I was infected with 93 viruses! I didn't know that I was without protection. We thought when we switched over to Verizon, security was included in the package. NOT SO! Anyway, I want to see if Real Player will work better for me now and I need the address again. HELP PLEASE???

Wanda, cut and paste

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

There is it Wanda! Good luck!

NatureNut said...

I tried to send it too, but Blogger ate it!

Costume Lady said...

Paula and Sharon, Thank you so much....apparently, my computer has had a virus for a long time and I was too dumb to know it. I now have Live Feed with sound and also a Still Picture! AMEN! It only cost $90.00 for 5 hours work. It was well worth it to see our babies again.

Costume Lady said...

Our babies walk like Frankenstein.

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Everyone ( :

Wasn't on yesterday at all

Who fed out eaglets "miracle grow"????????????? Wow Tiny has pin feathers ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda sorry you weren't protected....I was told people that took Verizon that the Virus and Spam protection was included in their package. Oh dear I'll have to let some friends know.

Costume Lady said...

Well, Dana, I have learned a lot from this experience.
Tiny is going to fall out of that nest for sure!

wvgal_dana said...

Did anyone's Live Feed stop?????????? I've had mine up all day and it stopped about 5 minutes or so ago grrrrrrrrrrr

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

My live feed went down too.

wvgal_dana said...

I guess it is just a freak thing. Although having it working all day. Then I come into here to comment. The player goes down. hummmmmm

Costume Lady said...

Mine too.

MITS said...

mine went down also.....Wanda my Comcast High-Speed Internet came with free McaFee security, but I had to download it myself, if I wanted it...

Carol_in_WV said...

Mine is frozen too. Whoever is at 5 o'clock does look like they are going to tip over the edge!

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Carol ( :

Yes Mits I'm with Comcast and they offer "free McAfee Security Center"...I downloaded it as soon as they hooked me up.

MITS said...

I e-mailed , Steve, but don't know if he can receive my mail, he is on an fws.gov site, so someone else might want to e-mail him too

Carol_in_WV said...

Hi, Dana. Yes, even our little Tiny is growing up and getting her feathers. It's amazing how quickly it happens.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I have frontier and they offer CA Security and I had to download it. I still can't get into the FWS sites either.

wvgal_dana said...

I still can't get the fws sites :(

Costume Lady said...

Helen, that may be our problem, we didn't know we had to download it ourselves. Though it all came "ready to go". DUH!

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda do you get the 30 sec refresh cam?

Costume Lady said...

My FWS site is working just fine. Before Verizon "Cleaned my System" this morning, I couln't get it; haven't had it since I got back from trip.

Chrissy Beahan said...

EVENING ALL,,,

I hope your all as well as can be today,,,,

Can't get the eaglecam up !!!

By The Way,,,,I've found out why Isla In Scotland is shouting all the time,,,,

THE POOR DARLING IS STARVING !!!!

Angus isn't bringing her any food, no one seems to know why,,and last night she wasn't away from the nest long enough to feed herself,,, so she came back with an empty tummy,,,poor love,,, perhaps she doesn't even trust him to sit on the eggs long enough to keep them warm ????
I don't know in his old age if he had forgotten his duties,, but he is letting the side and his wife down,,BIG TIME,,,

love and hugs
Chrissy
XXXXXXXX

Costume Lady said...

Dana, I am so happy to have that when the Live Feed is down. Wish I could help you get yours. :(

MITS said...

well poor Isla:(

Carol_in_WV said...

Since we can't watch our babies - I went to Paula's website and went back and watched some videos when the babes were only a few days old. They were so tiny - all 3 of them. And Mom and dad were so patient and tender towards them. It made me cry to see them like that again.

wvgal_dana said...

Oh Chrissy my dear...so that is the reason the poor old gal keeps squawking.... that's sad.

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda when did you start getting the 30 sec refresh??? Or did you always have it?

Carol_in_WV said...

Oh, no - poor Isla. Nature is cruel sometimes, as we have all seen before. :-(

Chrissy Beahan said...

Yes it's very sad,,,,

I don't know if the wardens in Scotland will intervene,, or they will let nature take it's course,

Now if it were me,,I'd be up on a long ladder with a beautiful selection of sea-food 3 times a day,,,, with napkins ofcourse and finger bowls and a nice soft fluffy towel.

MEN !!!!!

All my wild birds here are having their say before bedtime,, the noise is deafening,, and the loudest of all is my Mrs Blackbird,,as usual, she is another one with a mouth on her.

love and hugs
Chrissy
XXXXXXXX

Chrissy Beahan said...

Have any of you watched " HERO'S", on TV ????

The only reason I'm asking is,,,it starts again here tonight at 9pm,

So if I disappear quickly you will know the reason why !!!

Did any one manage to look in on the Hummingbirds in Ecuador,,,I didn't know they could be so noisy.

love and hugs
Chrissy

Costume Lady said...

HAVE A GOOD E VENING CHRISSY.

Costume Lady said...

Dana, I just started getting the 30 sec. cam today, after the repairman got the virus out of my system.

Costume Lady said...

Hello, to you too, Carol.

wvgal_dana said...

Well I'm going to go lie down. I'm getting so tired of this on again OFF AGAIN LIVE FEED...it is depressing :(

NatureNut said...

OMG! The TX wood duck eggs are HATCHING!!! See 3 so far.

Mema Jo said...

HOPE I'M NOT TOO LATE

Mema Jo said...

Oh Man Moma Wood Duck is just snoozing away. By tomorrow there may be launching. I think Jen is still out of town in case any help is needed.

Thanks for the WOOD DUCK HATCHING
alert Naturenut

Mema Jo said...


Quick link to Wood Duck Cam

TroubleInWVa said...

connecting... connecting... connecting... *sigh*

Is the live feed down? Earlier I had sound and the whole nine yards... now connecting... connecting...

Hope everyone is having a great day!
Merina

NatureNut said...

Hi Merina, Yes live feed went down while ago. Gave me a chance to check other cams!

MITS said...

UPDATE ON TEXAS WOOD DUCKS

JO, has quick link up above

First egg has hatched!

Apr 24, 2008 -
Sometime around 11am this morning the first egg hatched! The rest of the eggs should hatch over the following 18 hours.

MITS said...

It is like watching popcorn pop, watching the wood-ducks

MITS said...

I hope someone e-mailed Steve, I did, but like I said before, don't think he is getting my e-mails.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Got my live feed up just in time for a poop shoot!

MITS said...

big ole fish at 6....they must not be hungry

MITS said...

well they are hungry after all, one of them is sitting on the fish

movin said...

Guess you know the live feed is feeding again...

C(°?°)3

Jim

MITS said...

yes, Jim, we know:)

Costume Lady said...

I cannot get Live Feed up, but still have 30 sec. cam. The babes supper looks like a Mermaid. LOL

ceil said...

Mom not in the wood duck box Can see lots of chicks and eggs.

Costume Lady said...

Mom is there to dismantle the Mermaid.

Costume Lady said...

Ceil, did you see the Mermaid in our nest?

Costume Lady said...

I count about 16 wood ducks...I wonder if their Mom is down below urging them to jump?

Costume Lady said...

BBL

melvsmom said...

Tiny acts like he's never had a full meal before. I'm so glad he's getting his fill.

Costume Lady said...

I think that is Tiny grabbing the food like he was never taught any manners. Maybe he didn't get any of the last meal.

Costume Lady said...

Maybe we encouraged Tiny too much; he has become very aggresive.

Costume Lady said...

Hi Deborah, didn't hear you come in. We have the same thoughts about Tiny.

Costume Lady said...

Poop Shoot coming up...

Costume Lady said...

Good one, Tiny!

Costume Lady said...

Tiny is done for now. Not sure which one is eating now. It works out really well this way. One at a time--taking turns next to Mom. How cute is that?

Costume Lady said...

Mom has had enough of these sqeeking babies...outta here!

MITS said...

Those poop shoots are hilarious

ceil said...

I missed the mermaid Wanda. There are so many wood duck chicks could not count them all. I got to nine. Tiny must have really been hungry to forget his manners. I think I do that sometimes. We just got back from eating at Ledo's pizza. It just opened around out area. Pizza was hot. Salad dressing good.

melvsmom said...

Actually I had to lower the volume myself. I can't believe the years I didn't know about this stuff. It's all I seem to do anymore. But how could you see them and not love them, from their overly long wings to the penguin waddle.

MITS said...

ducklings all by themselves in Texas....think I count 7

melvsmom said...

Am I the only one that worries they'll back right out of the nest for the poop shoots?

MITS said...

NBG lady sitting very calmly, what a clear picture that cam has

MITS said...

Ceil always could count better than me:)

MITS said...

no, we all worry about that:):):) I do worry more when it is brezzy and they are practicing wing-flaps

melvsmom said...

Do they fall out often? I really hope not. It would break my heart to lose one. I'm a sucker for any baby animal.

MITS said...

I don't think this nest has had any jumpers...

ceil said...

As mits said we do worry about them. We have not seen any fall out so far.

ceil said...

I'm off to watch some tv. Good night all.

melvsmom said...

How many years have you been watching this nest? Do Liberty and Belle usually have 3 babies? I heard 2 was the norm.

ceil said...

This is my third year. The first year they had 3 who fledged successfully last year they lost their eggs during a March storm. They are good parents. I have just started to blog.

MITS said...

3rd year for me too.....

MITS said...

Good night Ceil, see you tomorrow......we get to spend the day with the M&M girls....:)

melvsmom said...

How awful is must have been to lose their eggs. They seem to be such good parents. They must have felt the loss. It's so sad when there's nothing you can do to help. I find myself wanting to feed them.

melvsmom said...

I love it when they stand facing the camera, little toes spread or sit in the buddha pose. They are just too cute!

MITS said...

it was sad, MM, but there was nothing anyone could do, but they survived....they are wonderful parents....that is nature for you, it is harder on me to see these things happen to real people...

MITS said...

they do look like little buddas:):)

melvsmom said...

I feel like I can do more to help people than animals.

MITS said...

car honking....

MITS said...

we can help animals sometimes, but in this case the eagles are on their own, unless something really bad happened and someone is there to rescue them, so many places to help the sick and injured animals and birds

MITS said...

you can hear one of the adults up by the mic..

melvsmom said...

It looks as they are off to sleep and I am off to iron so I don't have to catch up this weekend. G'night to all and pleasant dreams. May God and his angels hold you gently thru the night.

MITS said...

MITS said...

floralgirl said...

AHA! I can suddenly open 30 sec cam page... I have had 2 male hummingbirds in the garden all day, already fighting over feeders.

paula eagleholic said...

Great description of the feeding....I think Tiny ate for almost 20 minutes....he wouldn't shut up the whole time...too funny.

I love being able to go back and see what happened!

paula eagleholic said...

YAY! Mits....wonders never cease!

Maybe Wanda freed it up for ya?! :)

MITS said...

I was thinking the same thing Paula......of to watch CSI and ER......bbl

paula eagleholic said...

Poop shoots look cool at night too!

paula eagleholic said...

paula eagleholic said...

MITS said...

Costume Lady said...

paula eagleholic said...

paula eagleholic said...
