CO nest still has 3 eggs, no hatching yet.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Do you all see the yellow beak on our eagle? That means color is showing!

deb said...

It sure looks like it is trying to go to color, sometimes the green comes through for the trees below also.

Costume Lady said...

Only our Eagle Eyed Sharon would notice a yellow beak showing. I take it we don't have full color yet? I still can't see our babies. Going to visit my Mom...but will try some more to get Real Player up and running when we get home.

Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave

Costume Lady said...

Costume Lady said...

DAVE...passed through Indiana on our way home...did you see me waving at you?

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

Hi costune lady; Next time let me
know,you all are welcome'

Lolly said...

With just a little effort she could cover Pearl with her tail!

paula eagleholic said...

Color has seemed better since yesterday...I have seen green and the yellow beak before today...but looks better today...she must be in the right spot...

30 second cam is working again...

Sounds windy, but it is pretty nice out today...warm. 70°

Lolly said...

I think Pearl just said "Hey, Mom let me under there too!"

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Pecking Pearl sitting beside Momma. How precious is that?

Carol_in_WV said...

Pearl sitting there with her Mom, checking out the world, saying "Ain't it great to be an eagle!"

Lolly said...

She looks like she is trying to get under! lol

Carol_in_WV said...

Who is that in front of Belle?

Carol_in_WV said...

Eaglet poop shoot!

Lolly said...

I have seen both Middy and Tiny stick their heads out front.

Lolly said...

I think Pearl is thinking she is all grown up like Momma, sitting there beside her.

Carol_in_WV said...

Or maybe wishing she had Mom all to herself!

Lolly said...

Jack just came in, I showed him "Pearl" sittin beside her Mother. He said, "So, (as he pointed to Belle)that is Mother of Pearl". Ohhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Lolly said...

So, if she can not get under, she will just stick her head under!

Lolly said...

Pearl has finally managed to get under. She didn't like the wind or being left out!

Carol_in_WV said...

"Mother of Pearl" - lol - I like that, Lolly (& Jack)!

MITS said...

MOTHER OF PEARL........BOOYAH, GOOD ONE, JACK!!!!!!!

MITS said...

Very unusual shot up in Maine, cam pulled way back, beautiful.

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Carol, Jill and Nature ( :

Today has been a special day for eagle watchers with the new chick being born. Now that is GRAND ( :

Sure hoping the 2 osprey at BW will be able to stay and defend their nest this year. With nothing happening to eggs.

I will also feel much better when Wanda gets her Real Player working. So she can enjoy our 3 chicklets.

paula eagleholic said...

One of the TH eggs in the incubator at IWS died....

They are hoping for the second, youngest egg to hatch between midnight and 8am tomorrow

KarenInCali said...

Oh Paula, that is so sad :-( Poor wee one! We keep a prayer going for the other one.

Lolly, that is so cute .."Mother of Pearl"! LOL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Lolly, tell Jack that "Mother of Pearl" is the neatest thing I have heard all year!

Carol_in_WV said...

Mother of Pearl, Middy & Tiny

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Boy, they surely checking everything out. Did Pearl just peck Baby Littley again?

paula eagleholic said...

Parent gone our nest...chicks are up!

paula eagleholic said...

Just rolled back the tape, she may have been chasing something out of the area!

Carol_in_WV said...

Tiny's wings seem so tiny in comparison to her body - compared to the other two. It's amazing the difference in development that a couple of days can make. Am I just imagining it that the feedings are less frequent now - or have I just missed them?

paula eagleholic said...

Chick trying to escape!

paula eagleholic said...

Look at those big feet! :)

Carol_in_WV said...

Is pearl panting?

Carol_in_WV said...

the Mother of Pearl is back!

Carol_in_WV said...

or is it Dad? (I still can't tell the difference!)

paula eagleholic said...

Mom on the back right...chicks laying in bowl in front of her

paula eagleholic said...

Sorry, behind again...lunchtime!

paula eagleholic said...

Update from Wing on the Maine blog...doesn't think this pair will lay eggs this year.

paula eagleholic said...

Baby must be full from the last go round. He laying down behind the other two.

And yes, Carol, it seems the feedings last longer, and the chicks remain fuller for longer.

Carol_in_WV said...

Tiny trying to get to the front of the dinner table

paula eagleholic said...

Baby just decided he was hungry...but Mom is looking upwards and calling out....chicks have layed down in the bowl...

paula eagleholic said...

And the threat is gone....feeding resuming...

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Carol nice to hear from you and read your comment.

So sad about one of the TH eggs :( Prays that the other egg hatches.

hee hee was cute "Mother of Pearl" hee hee

Carol_in_WV said...

Tiny getting her share now :-)

Carol_in_WV said...

Hi, DANA. I have some free time to blog today. (well, not really - but that's what I'm telling myself). Yes, it's sad about the failed TH egg.

paula eagleholic said...

paula eagleholic said...

Tesoro = parent in nest tree, eaglet? in nest. Hard to tell, cam so far back

wvgal_dana said...

Carol_in_WV said...

Yeah, DANA - I hope I can come too. Are there any plans in the works for a get together? I'll have to save up to pay for the gas!! It's always good to see you and the other momsters and to meet new ones. Great news about BWO birds!!

paula eagleholic said...

Chicks are snoozing at Mom's feet :)

wvgal_dana said...

Just hopefully that 3rd osprey that was around will go and leave these two alone.

MITS said...

MITS said...

Not so good news from TH and MAINE

wvgal_dana said...

Oh boy the chicks at BWE is going to get fish ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Oh my the wind is really getting up here. Have to watch our nest see if it starts getting windy there.

bbl

MITS said...

Time will tell, Dana

normabyrd said...

MITS said...

paula eagleholic said...

Heading home, cu later!

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, second chick at BWE eating now :)

Lolly said...

I thought it baaadddd!!!

MITS said...

I tought it was great, Lolly;)

Lolly said...

Two osprey at BWO.

floralgirl said...

Wow- just got computer running again, looks like a feeding in progress. Two chicks up out of the nest cup and beside parent towards 12 o'clock.

floralgirl said...

# 1 stuck in the nest cup,not enough room to get out- still getting plenty of food, and still pecking-ow-tiny just got one to the head.

MITS said...

my real player has froze up 6 times in last hour......and still not able to get onto to 30second cam

floralgirl said...

My computer shut itself off and I had to wait a while to try to start it again. I gave up on the 30 sec cam, I can't open that page at all either.

MITS said...

I'm about ready to give up on the RP.

floralgirl said...

People seem to have problems with it, honestly, at the moment its one of the few things actually running right on my computer.

floralgirl said...

Looks like feeding time is over, parent is now at 9 o'clock, tiny and middler still up on back side of nest cup, #1 in nest cup.

floralgirl said...

Running back outside to take advantage of this beautiful day, its a little breezy, but the sun is shining:) hope you get that RP working right.

MITS said...

thanks, I have never ever had problems with real player, except on this site.

wvgal_dana said...

Hang in there Mits just cuss it out ( :

MITS said...

oh, trust me, Dana, I am cussing under my breath, about ready to uninstall and re-install it, this has been one feature I have never had problems with til now, can go to any other site and it works fine

wvgal_dana said...

Wow just checked the Oklahama eagle cam. It is pulled way back...maybe still working on cam?

wvgal_dana said...

If this will help you any Mits. When some have been saying they are having "freezing up problems". I have had NONE.....today for some reason it has frozen 6 or 8 times.

paula eagleholic said...

Cam pretty whited out with all the sun...

gonna go plant a tree...BBL

MITS said...

I don't know why, all of a sudden,Dana, it started to freeze, have had it up since Sunday night.

wvgal_dana said...

I think there are 5 stork eggs at

http://www.stadtpark-mannheim.de/webcam/cam33.htm

MITS said...

just did some updating on RP, lets see if that helps

wvgal_dana said...

She just layed back down on them. Night light is on there. There are 5 eggs I counted again.

MITS said...

well that didn't help at all.

wvgal_dana said...

They need the Storkette Diaper service and the Storkette Food Supply to help them out lmbo

This isn't the nest that bad things happened at last year.

MITS said...

shhh....my RP is working right now, don't let it know that I know;)

MITS said...

parent just flew out of the nest

wvgal_dana said...

mums the word

MITS said...

feeding time, parent is back

MITS said...

both eagles our nest...

Mema Jo said...

Looks like Belle is shaking out the fluff! lol Just signed in - is only one eaglet being fed... Meaning have the other 2 been fed yet

deb said...

I am back home with a very unhappy dog. He wants food and water and the vet said no to both for 12 hours. It is going to be a long 12 hours.

deb said...

Still 3 eggs in CO, can't tell at BC, the eagle only showed one of the eggs at turning, but doesn't act like any have hatched.

wvgal_dana said...

Deb why doggie to Vet? What kind of doggie?

wvgal_dana said...

That poop shoot knocked him/her forward onto head lol

Mema Jo said...

Tiny should made a beeline into the nest cup - I think she/he likes the fluff!

Mema Jo said...

I saw that one Dana - Powerful!

deb said...

He had his teeth cleaned and eye surgery (cherry eye). He is part Lhasa Apso and not sure what else (got him at the pound)

wvgal_dana said...

I believe it is Belle just flew in. Liberty is telling her he fed the chicks all ate well. Out he goes.

Mema Jo said...

Adult was in BWE nest earlier but gone now. I know the temp is about
67° but I guess they are right up above keeping watch over those 2 little ones.

deb said...

Eagle in OR.

deb said...

It has a fish!

wvgal_dana said...

There are only 2 candles lite for Sandra and very few for Sue

Jill said...

Dana whats the link for Sandras, I can't find it.

movin said...

Hi, I'm over here for a minute while rebuilding my "favorites" .... live feed is working like a champ.

Dana, would you please give me the links to the candles, either here or email them to me??

Thanks,
Jim

deb said...

Sorry to hear of your big crash, Jim. Just loading the updates will take a long time!!

Mema Jo said...

I have both links if Dana doesn't

MITS said...

DEB, one of these days I will see more than a tail at OR

MITS said...

Jo, can you send them to me too....please;)

MITS said...

off to fix myslf some dinner....BBL

deb said...

It was in the nest for quite awhile this time, maybe it will come back off the branch.

Mema Jo said...

at 6:30 this evening both geese were on the Osprey nest


LINK Osprey Nest Xcel - Geese

Jill said...

I have Sue's can't find Sandras.

deb said...

I don't have them anymore either, Jo.

deb said...

Mits, come back another eagle in OR with another fish, now both eagles.

Anne-Marie said...

Hi everyone, silly geese think they are osprey.boy the wind is really blowing at the nest.

Anne-Marie said...

Where in OR?

Mema Jo said...

Everyone invited to light candles


Bookmark Sandra's candles



Bookmark Sue's candles

paula eagleholic said...

Well, I'll have apples in a couple of years! :)

Gonna go see what I missed...

movin said...

Yes, Deb, Windows and AOL adn MacAfee are all busy updating many times a day right now. Plus I need to update my video card driver and a few other similar things.

Just redoing my desktop preferences and favorites and my address books is taking a lot of time... My first computer had a total of 425 Mbytes of space, which was kinda hard to back up, but now I have 20 Gigabytes "used space", which is a lot, lot harder.

I think I'll take the Tech's advice and either get a bag full of DVD's or buy an external, plug-in hard drive and BACK UP THE FILES I WANT TO SAVE!

Either Dana or Mema Jo, please give us the candles' links. :~)

Jim

deb said...

Oregon nest

movin said...

Thanks for the candle sites, Mema Jo.

Jim

deb said...

Jim, I have an external hard drive, just in case, but with my Mac, it automatically backs up to a .mac address. I should probably be doing both, instead of trusting Mac.

Mema Jo said...

I truly wish that the Eagle Cam at
OR Deschutes National Forest could load FASTER! I missed them.

Deb I can't take pics on that cam.

wvgal_dana said...

Candle sites both are sent to Jim, Jill and Mits check your mail

MITS said...

I missed them again Deb, now I'm really off to eat, been on phone.

paula eagleholic said...

Chick in the incubator at IWS is poking thru! Someone saw a little beak!

Mema Jo said...

ANNE Are you a Free Grandma
now?

paula eagleholic said...

Jim - 20 gig isn't much anymore. I have 40 gig and I'm out of room constantly. I have been backing up pics, etc. to CD's

MITS said...

got em, Thanks, Dana

floralgirl said...

Oh, Jim, good luck, sounds like a lot of work.

Anne-Marie said...

I'm FREEEEEE. He just came over to get his Karate clothes. Daddy is taking him. Nana is tired.

Anne-Marie said...

Paula and Jim you both loose me. If it wernt for my kids I'd be compleatly computer ignorant.

deb said...

Paula, so they have any idea why the one chick didn't survive at TH, or will they have to do tests?

Anne-Marie said...

I got to see the babe at PH this afternoon. Just a peek. Does anyone know if there is any more than one?

Mema Jo said...

Hi Dana - I also placed the tinyurl
here in comments for the candles...
mainly hoping to make it easy for others to go in a light the candles.
I did send Sandra a card last week and will do so again this week.
Just to make sure she doesn't forget about us but moreso to make sure she knows we didn't forget her!

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle back at OR

deb said...

OR eagle is back.

Mema Jo said...

Anne - Brandon will probably be the one to take care of you in your aging years! I have a granddaughter I am counting on - in fact I have 4 of them - they can take turns.

Mema Jo said...

OK Deb & Dana
Did he only stay about 1 minute?
There wasn't any there when I brought it up!

wvgal_dana said...

Jo April fools...( :

Mema Jo said...

OK Here is another url link for you
Pics of the OR nest throughout today


LINK OREGON EAGLE COUPLE

Jill said...

Thanks Dana and JO. I saved it this time. I hope.

floralgirl said...

Looks like the 3 muskateers have awakened Belle.

Mema Jo said...

Dana - I was going to ask you if ED got you on April Fool joke today - But I bet you got him! lol

deb said...

Jo, keep it open for awhile, they are nestorating right now, so they are in and out. One back in again.

wvgal_dana said...

Jo I was just kidding when I opened the OR site the eagle just had come in. Turn my head and looked back and it was gone. No April fools I wouldn't pull that one.

paula eagleholic said...

Deb - I asked Dr Sharpe if he knew why the chick died, or would he investigate why. There was a video posted on the blog yesterday of the chick trying to internally pip. This is the egg that died. Here is Dr Sharpe's answer.

The camera is on all night in the hatcher so I can watch from home. I will break open the unhatched egg so that it can be analyzed for contaminants. I'll be able to see if the chick was malpositioned for hatching, but beyond that it has hard to determine why they die. I'll help them out when I can, but there is nothing I can do if they have not externally pipped. Any earlier assistance would likely kill them because there are still active blood vessels running through the membranes and they haven't absorbed the yolk sac yet.

deb said...

I keep OR open in Quick time player, not sure if you can do that or not.

paula eagleholic said...

Basically, they have to break the internal sac and get to the air space, and abosorb the rest of the yolk. Then they can break through the external shell

wvgal_dana said...

Nope Jo didn't pull any April fools on anyone.

paula eagleholic said...

Anne - second egg at PH is due to hatch in the next couple of days!

deb said...

Thanks, Paula, I wondered if they couldn't help it out.

Anne-Marie said...

I finally got to see the OR nest but I had to down load allot before my computer would let me. It seems that each sight needs a different download. I am going to get out of these nylons and feed myself. BBL

wvgal_dana said...

I see the chick at PH but what is the eagle doing?

wvgal_dana said...

It almost stepped on chick ... I see it has food in its talcon. Wow glad he/she missed chick.

wvgal_dana said...

Chick being fed at PH

paula eagleholic said...

New chick at PH is getting fed, you can hear it peeping!!

Mema Jo said...

Eagle is back on the branch in OR
WHOO HOO

paula eagleholic said...

Deb - I open OR in my Quicktime player also.

Mema Jo said...

I need to check over my tax info - I work best after 8pm---I am cursed!

I'll keep our cam up & BBL to say goodnight.

deb said...

Quicktime is the only way I can watch it without a lot of interference.

paula eagleholic said...

That's what I get with it too if I try the site just by itself, it ends up showing up in WMP etc.

wvgal_dana said...

I'm leaving early tonight so everyone have a nice night sleep well. Good night all.

MITS said...

Night, Dana

paula eagleholic said...

NIght, Dana

MITS said...

looks like spidey is visiting BWE

deb said...

Mits, do you have OR open?? There is an eagle there.

deb said...

Never mind, in the branch.

MITS said...

ROFLMBO, I had it up forever and turned it off, just went and all I see is a tail....

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Our Belle is having a hard time keeping those babies under her.

MITS said...

she needs to put her foot, eh, talon down on them

MITS said...

Sharon, what are you doing up this late?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mits, didn't get home until about 9:30 and getting ready to go to bed now. Been a long day!

MITS said...

Have a good rest, TTUT....

MITS said...

well, I'm right behind you, Sharon. GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE

MITS said...

DEB, I know as soon as I leave eagle will come back down off the branch at OR

deb said...

I didn't tell you they were both there, but now they are each on a branch!!

MITS said...

Not a good sleeping night for the eagles

Overnight
Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers with isolated thunderstorms late this evening...then partly cloudy after midnight. Windy with lows around 40. Northwest winds 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 40 percent.

paula eagleholic said...

Gettting some really good gusts here.

Mema Jo said...

Good Night
Peace to You & Yours
Prayers being offered for all needs


These little eaglets sure are getting their own personalities!

KarenInCali said...

I saw the new little chicklet at PH :-) It's soooo cute and seems to be very strong already. Holds its head up steadily very well.

paula eagleholic said...

Good night, all!

Suzanne said...

Morning, world. Hump day, we made it this far! Chilly out, and very windy! 45° in PA, 48° here, so the wind doesn't seem quite too bad. Both our nest and BW nest are sleeping on chick blankets. Too cute. Glad our cam is back up! Will have to go see what I missed. All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Suzanne said...

Wow, deer are early today. Deer arriving in PA.

Suzanne said...

Deer are gone in PA, and fatty the racoon has taken his place. Only 1 deer was there, so I'm guessing he was the early bird. Or she, I mean. Others will be arriving later. CO owletts are awake, and can see their feathers much clearer today, even in the IR light. Still too dark to see anything else there. Also still no word on the Hilton Head osprey eggs on their webpage. Just wonder if the pair will lay another egg or not. Would have been a really cool site to watch them!

Suzanne said...

BW eaglets and parent all have their own "space" now. Our parent is still using a chick blanket, and just saw something move there. Looks like a little head, how cute is that!

floralgirl said...

Morning Suzanne- live feed is not working for me this am, must be down. I hate when I get up and can't see the nest.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Megan. Can you get the 3 minute cam?

Belle just woke up, and has her head down checking on the kids. Her chick blankie, but they're still sleeping. Oh, now she just moved and is half on top of them, but they're all out of the egg cup. Looks like they're right in front of it.

Lady BW just woke up too, but those kids are also still sleeping.

floralgirl said...

Nope Suzanne, I haven't been able to open the still cam page for a week now. Or any other FWS page either. I'll send Steve an email as soon as Sharon or some other early bird assures me the live feed is down and its not just my junky computer having issues.

Suzanne said...

Belle now has the kids half way under her chest, and head back under wings and going to sleep. Lady BW thinking about leaving the kids, she usually leaves around 6:30.

Suzanne said...

Ok, Megan. You're right, wait for someone else to get up and check it. Lady BW just this second left. Belle is awake again and looking around, but still on the kids.

Suzanne said...

BW kids are alone, but stretching out, not snuggling. Belle has her head down talking to our kids, I guess. She's not in the feeding area, so don't think they're eating breakfast yet.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning Suz and Megan. Megan, this is to assure you that the live feed is down and I, too, cannot get on any FWS site either.
