Thanks Steve :) Live feed is running good with sound, although there is a loud hummmmm.....

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Steve! Have a long handled broom or something? Gotta get that bug off the cam lens!
Thanks for the heads up, Megan.
Both in Scotland. Isla is talking, Angus is grooming and ignoring her.

floralgirl said...

Sun is trying to break through the clouds here. NBG eagle is up moving around, picture looks weird, not sure if its my computer or not. Surprised they have power after the tornadoes that touched down there yesterday.

ceil said...

Good morning Suzanne, Megan & Wanda and everyone else who will be on the blog today. BWE eaglets still looked soggy. Bug and web must go. Sun has come out here so we stop work on the ark. I have to work today. Usually don't on a Tuesday but have to be off tomorrow. Have a good sunny day.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING CEIL...
Have a good day. Get back with us later.

Costume Lady said...

WISHING PHIL THOMPSON OF MS. A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Ceil! Don't work too hard. Enjoy the day when you get off. Was just outside, no rain, lots of sun and lots of wind.
Got on a sec ago and saw both parents in nest, very cool. Kids are eating breakfast. Wish the BW kids would get breakfast too! And dry out a little.

Suzanne said...

Oh, owlette back in CO. Both osprey in Finney's nest.

Suzanne said...

Just missed the 5 eggs in the jackdaw nest.

Suzanne said...

Big wing spread at BWE!

Mauley said...

Thanks Steve, Hi Megan, Suzanne, Wanda , Ceil, and any lurkers Busy Busy day today won't be able lurk.(much, anyway) Did the tornado in southeast Va affect any one of our eagle momster family or nests? Have a blessed day, dear ones. donna

Suzanne said...

Morning, Donna. Can't answer your question, but have a good day.

MITS said...

GOOD TUESDAY A.M. EVERYONE Still catching up on e-mails and blog posts...

Suzanne said...

BWE adult in nest, hopefully feeding kids!

floralgirl said...

Three tornadoes ripped through Virginia on Monday, with one hop-scotching across the southeastern part of the state and leaving behind a 25-mile trail of smashed homes, tossed cars and more than 200 injured residents. Nest in Norfolk seems fine,cam is up and running.

MITS said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OPHELIA (PHIL), HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Megan (1st contrgs), Ceil, Wanda, Suzanne, Donna and Mits ( :

Suzanne said...

Morning, Helen and Dana. Eggs visible at BWO, still 2. How cool. And as I typed that, down she went back on them.
CO eaglets eating, all lined up in a row.
Have a meeting, back later.

wvgal_dana said...

Neat O (: (: two eggs for BWO....and they are going to hatch them this year too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MITS said...

BOTH ADULTS NBG

floralgirl said...

Doesn't look like he brought food. Hi Mits, Dana:)

MITS said...

NO, he was just hanging around, and she was shooting him dirty looks, so he left.

wvgal_dana said...

Well he better get his butt out there and get her and the baby some food. Men!

floralgirl said...

Is your NBG cam pic all grainy? Wish we could see into nest better, hard to see chick.

wvgal_dana said...

Megan no it is clear as crystal beautiful color.

wvgal_dana said...

Now our 30 sec refresh is grainy but I'll take it anyway I can get our nest.

MITS said...

Megan, mine is working beautifully. Wish I could say the same for ours

Lolly said...

Good morning everyone! Do hope any of you who are in Virginia are okay. I thought of the nests as well.

MITS said...

snowing in OREGON, eagle is covered...:(

Costume Lady said...

I think NCTC is shooting Gamma Rays at the Spidey web and are trying to desolve it.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING LOLLY...
I don't think any of us were directly affected by the storm.

glo said...

Good Morning everyone. Its always nice to start the day the NCTC way especially if we can both see and hear the cam. All 3 had a great breakfast and breakfast still stays tangled there waiting for spidey. That spidey is really asking for it!!!! Of all the places to leave the catch argh!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Lolly and Glo ( :

Costume Lady said...

Does anyone else have a bunch of pixels in the middle of their nest image?

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING GLO, HELEN AND DANA

Lolly said...

Not going to be on much today, heading outside. I will be peeking in occasionally! Hope everyone has a GREAT day!!!

deb said...

Good morning, everyone. It is a bright, sunny day here today. I am still tired from my trip, but had a wonderful time.

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda for our nest I do I do I do
:( but I'll take it as long as it stays up. Afraid to rock the boat.

Suzanne said...

Morning, all. Wanda, those "pixels" are a bug, right in the middle of the web and cam pic. Before it gets daylight, the IR reflects on that darn thing, and that's the only thing you can see! Need to get a big broom up there and knock that web down.

Suzanne said...

I lost Scotland. Can anybody get it?

Costume Lady said...

SUZ, I know about the bug, but right now, I have a group of pixels right where the chicks are. Turned Real Player off to see if they would go away and lost my Feed. I give up.

Costume Lady said...

SUZ, I can get Scotland, but the contrast is blinding.

Costume Lady said...

Breakfast time here. BBL

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda after breakfast retry your RP ok. Suzanne I have what Wanda is talking about on my 30 sec refresh cam. No it is not the bug that is stuck in the middle. It is actually pixels you see.

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE... hope you all have a great day.

I've got to clear my patio and balcony again. They're supposed to start painting this building and the one next to it starting (possibly) in 15 mins.

Talk to you later.

[:~)]

Jim

Suzanne said...

Wow, Jim, lots of notice for you. Ok, Dana, my 30 sec cam pic is fine, except for the bug. Just can't get Scotland again.

Suzanne said...

NBG eaglet getting fed, little fuzzhead.

Suzanne said...

Jackdaw 5 eggs visible.

MITS said...

I can't get either FINLAND osprey cams:(

MITS said...

OSPREY IN SCOTLAND ARE DOING FINE






OSPREY DIARY: read the latest news from the nest!

28 April 2008
Welcome to a slightly damp new instalment of the osprey diary! After a fantastic weekend the weather has become, to use the Scottish phrase, “a wee bit dreich”. It’s quite wet but the ospreys are coping fine.

We wish to thank everyone who has contacted us with concern that the female has not been fed but we can assure you all that the male is bringing in fish. He does tend to bring meals in at rather sporadic intervals, but this is entirely natural. To a two-foot tall bird a good-sized trout goes a long way.

Despite being exposed to the elements in the nest, the pair is looking well and healthy and they are doing a grand job of taking care of their eggs. We are now reaching the half-way point, so hopefully it won’t be long until we are hearing the pitter-patter of tiny talons… or at least the chirping of three very hungry little ospreys!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all.

My RP looks great!

MITS said...

Mema Jo said...

Good Very Late Morning to All

I haven't even opened emails!
I always check out LIVE FEED FIRST!!
So I am a happy nester!

Happy Birthday Momster Ophelia!
Come in and join us if you please!

Costume Lady said...

My Live Feed is working now. Just a glitch on my part.
If that wind continues to blow, maybe it will blow Spidey and his buffet away. HUFF & PUFF AND BLOW YOUR HOUSE DOWN.

Costume Lady said...

I'm thinking, if one of those chicks does a really big wing stretch, he may become air-bourn like a kite. Whoo Hoo...

MITS said...

weather report for OREGON, oh who needs a report, its snowing!!!!

MITS said...

talk to you tomorrow, Suzanne

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jo.
Helen, the 2nd Finland cam has been down most of the morning. Can only watch the Jackdaw. Finney's nest is up, and osprey in the house.

Suzanne said...

Look at our big kids standing around, how cool is that!

Suzanne said...

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

Suzanne said...

See ya, Helen. Ya'll have a great afternoon/evening/night, etc.

floralgirl said...

Sad news on the hummer cam, mom has given up on the latest eggs.

MITS said...

I was wondering why I kept seeing them all alone....that hummer must be tired out:(

floralgirl said...

No doubt, she never stops.. back outside, sun is really trying to shine here. Still a chilly 51°

wvgal_dana said...

BWO just mated again didn't get to snap picture

Geula said...

I had trouble signing in just now...Good Morning/Afternoon all!

Geula said...

Maybe the strong wind will blow that "thing" away from the middle of the cam! What is it, anyway?

movin said...

Morning again. I'm back, at least for a while.

Hey, if you haven't checked ZZ lately, you've got a treat in store.

They've got a little "News" article, a large "blog" article, an iPod interview with a senior keeper, and finally, a video of fun ZZ playing in the "snow" and with Bai.

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

Geula said...

Ane where, pray tell Jim, would I find ZZ and all the antics? Like send me the link...ty

deb said...

I am making progress processing my pictures. I took over 1500 pictures, so it is going to take a long time to get through them. I will send out a favorite later today. I went to a Birds of Prey workshop and had a blast. I got to spend about 1 1/2 hours within 10 feet of the bald eagle that Wildlife Experiences has. I am having trouble deciding which ones are the ones to keep. I have pictures of a tawny owl, peregrine falcon, gyrfalcon, red-tailed hawk, harris hawk, Eurasian eagle owl, screech owl and the eagle. On top of that, I have pictures of Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park and the Badlands.

MITS said...

oh wow, what a trip, Deb:)

Costume Lady said...

DEB, you are much worse than I with your picture taking. I took 600+ photos and thought that was a lot! I'm anxious to see the "Eagle Owl"...never heard of it. Did they finally get Crazy Horse finished? The time that we were there, it wasn't completed and they wouldn't let us near it. Hurry!

deb said...

The face on Crazy Horse is done and they are stating on the horse now. I don't think we will ever see the finished product in our lifetime. They won't take government money, which would make the project go faster. There philosophy is that the tax payer shouldn't be paying for it, only people who are interested in it.

paula eagleholic said...

OUr kids are resting in the nice warm sunshine....the breeze today is cool.

paula eagleholic said...

Hot Darn! The wind has blown away that bug! I can see clearly now!!

deb said...

Paula, beautiful tree! I am off to grocery store and to run some errands. I need a break from pictures. BBL

movin said...

Sorry, Geula, I missed your comment about the link to ZZ (Zhen Zhen) the baby Panda. Here's a clickable link for you.


ZZ Panda

Jim

movin said...

Hey, Paula, I think you're right. The Spidey fare has at least been blown out of the cam's way.

I think I can see it in the upper rt. corner of the screen yet, but if it can be moved that far, maybe it'll blow away totally.

C(°?°)3

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Well, the bug is almost gone!

paula eagleholic said...

That's a Redbud or Judas Tree, Deb.

paula eagleholic said...

How is sunny Cal today, Jim?

movin said...

Well, Paula, basically it's a beautiful, rehumidified 69° right now in So Cal.

Earlier the forecast was for it to top out at 69, but they updated it to 79° with normal on-shore winds today.

Tomorrow is supposed to cool down to about 70, but we'll see what they have writ down tomorrow. Hahaha.

C(°?°)3

Jim

movin said...

Did you see one of our chicks got a wing up in the air in a wind gust and almost got flipped over another chick before it could pull it back in??!!

C(°?°)3

Jim

MITS said...

GOOD JOB, PAULA....you got rid of the annoying bug!!!!!

movin said...

Hi, Mits. Hope you are having a good day.

C(°?°)3

Jim

MITS said...

hey Jim, trying to clean up my desk around computer, and having fun with my paper shredder.....I love that gadget:)

MITS said...

MITS said...

MITS said...

MITS said...

AHHH, Mother Nature, she can be a sly one;)

MITS said...

pushing and shoving going on at nest

Chrissy Beahan said...

Hi Helen,

Hopefully no one is to badly affected.

Godd news about Isla and Angus isn't it,, at least the girl is feeding now,, and he is doing his part.

I see the chicklets are all huddled in a lump.

I'll be popping off soon to watch my forensic prog on TV.

I'll say night night God bless for now.
Take care everyone

love and hugs
Chrissy

MITS said...

just got time to watch the footage of ZZ in the snow....what a HOOT!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Now, don't you all just love how God stepped right in and took that "thing" off our camera lens?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Oh, I was giving God the credit and it was Paula. My bad! :)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

wax

MITS said...

TEE-HEE, I think God had His Hand in it to, Sharon.

Susan Grace Wisniewski said...

any chance we can just have a general update on how many eaglets were born this year and what their age is, on the main page of the daily blog? It would be helpful for those of us just tuning in and just want the basic info.

MITS said...

Welcome Susan;)

MITS said...

Booyah for Lolly:)

paula eagleholic said...

The eaglets will be 7 weeks old this Thursday, Friday and the following Monday.

Wow, did anyone catch the adult bringing in food and the eaglet snatched it away!

MITS said...

saw the adult, missed the snatch

paula eagleholic said...

It'll be on the 10 o'clock news tonight :)

MITS said...

thanks, Paula:)

MITS said...

AWWWW, 2 of the eaglets were just fighting, and the one ran over to parent for protection...

MITS said...

NEWS FLASH....SNOWING IN OREGON!!! Oh right that is old news;)

MITS said...

grabby little eaglets:)

deb said...

They are grabby, aren't they. They are so much bigger than the last time I saw them. They are, also, stealing food!

MITS said...

I suspect the nest is deeper than it looks

paula eagleholic said...

Food fight!

paula eagleholic said...

Sorry - just catching up!

MITS said...

juvie at TESORO NEST

MITS said...

Never mind did a PS and took off

MITS said...

wonder why we rarely hear our adult eagles vocalizing, like the ones up in Maine do???

MITS said...

somebody needs to oil those squeaky eaglets

ceil said...

Evening everyone. Great to see that the bug is gone from the middle of the picture. Think they are a little cold. It is chilly tonight. Off to watch the baseball game. TTUL

Lolly said...

Thanks Jo and Mits!! I already feel like I belong. Decided I better make it official. :) All of you are the greatest!

Glad someone mentioned that the CO eaglets are sometimes out of sight. Right now their nest looks empty!! Scary!

Have spent the day painting a garage door and posts on the patio. I'm done! The rest is up to Jack.

Tomorrow we go to Dallas to babysit with #3 grandson. So, will not be on much again tomorrow.

Lolly said...

Feeding at NBG!

MITS said...

OK, for a change hubby got home a little earlier, and we are done dinner and kitchen is cleaned up, going to fold some laundry and I'm good to go for NCIS....

MITS said...

geese flying over the nest

MITS said...

both parents at NBG

MITS said...

don't think he brought any food for her:(

MITS said...

but wait......think I see a fish at NBG, and he is eating it...

Costume Lady said...

Oh my goodness...look at Megan's avatar!!! Scared the stuffin out of me...thought I was seeing things. I have been known to do that. LOL

Costume Lady said...

Someone please tell me they see the Avatar blinking a monster. I need to know I am not hallucinating!

Costume Lady said...

Tiny and Middy really got into it. I guess that is part of growning up.

Costume Lady said...

Wonderful to watch the chicks and not see Spidey's left-overs.

Lolly said...

Just watching a feeding at PH. I think Pecking Pearl's cousin in in that nest! LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Wanda - you are hallucinating...it's a sun

Lolly said...

Had to turn off PH. It is sooo windy there.

Lolly said...

Glad we are rid of the loud hum on the cam. Love to listen to the soft chatter!

Lolly said...

Time to go and get the paint off my hands. LOL Ate dinner with paint on my hands, and sitting here looking at it now. Really need to clean up!!!

Costume Lady said...

I see a sun turn into a monster. Please look again. I must be going crazy! I'll have to get Gene to look at it when he gets home.

Costume Lady said...

Awww...Mom is with the chicks. She must know it is going to be near freezing tonight.

Lolly said...

I wondered why she was in the nest. Did not look like rain. Such a good momma!

Costume Lady said...

OK, It is back to just a sun now...but Capt. Eagle said he saw it change into a monster also! We are BOTH hallucinating!

floralgirl said...

Well, ok then I'll have whatever you two are having..lol..

MITS said...

soooooo, Wanda, you and Gene are having "eagle talons" tonight and did not invite us, hmmmm

Mema Jo said...

SPIDEY HAS GOT TO GO

GOOD NIGHT TO ALL/GOOD MORNING TO THE EARLY BIRDERS AND SUZANNE.


C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

Suzanne said...

Good morning, world. Chilly out, 38° in PA, 41° here in VA. Brrr, after being so nice. Had to bring my tomatoes in again last night. Poor things, they're never gonna get any sun!
How very cool! Somebody got up to the nest with a long broom! Spidey's web is gone, along with his treats!!! Belle is in the nest with the babies, sleeping at 5 o'clock, and the kids are pretty much in the center of the nest all snuggled together. How very nice to see the nest at this hour again! Ok, I'm a happy camper this morning!
BW kids are sound asleep, osprey on eggs, can't get on 2nd Finland nest again, but jackdaw on her 5 eggs. Both ospreys are in Finney's nest. All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly! Good grief, they're talking about ice cream here now. Makes me want some for breakfast!!! Course I could eat ice cream at any time of the day or night, so breakfast seems good to me.

Suzanne said...

Whoa, here comes spidey. Guess he didn't like his web destroyed. Bummer. Now he needs to move, that's just too gross first thing in the morning. Besides, nervy thing, blocking Belle. Who does he think he is????

Suzanne said...

And poof, next refresh, he's gone. Thank you!

floralgirl said...

Morning Suzanne. Chilly here, 32°chicks are snuggled together.

floralgirl said...

Weird noise on the live feed, can't figure out what it is...

Suzanne said...

Morning, Megan. They sure are huddled together. Trying to keep warm. Don't get live feed, so no idea what the sound could be.
Here's hoping this will post. My computer hung up a while ago and had to hit the emergency off switch to shut it down! (Pull electrical plug outta computer, works every time.) So at the moment, nothing open but blog and our nest. Let's see if the shutdown helped speed this up a bit.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SUZ & MEGAN...
Megan, I see your SUN is "STILL" this morning. Please tell me that Gene & I didn't have too many Eagle Talons last night.

floralgirl said...

Hello Wanda- sometimes when I refresh the page, I see the sun moving. Other times it is just a still pic. Only you and Gene know if you had too many eagle talons last night..lol....

Suzanne said...

LOL, morning, Wanda. It's still for me too, but when I first brought it up, it was grinning at me. Very large grin, actually!
