Wednesday PM

Couple of observations:

You've probably noticed all three eaglets working their wings in the wind the past few days, although we think it will be another month before they're ready to fly. let's hope they don't get to "cocky" and find themselves blown out of the nest!

Also, the adults are now leaving the eaglets alone for parts of the day. There has been constant supervision until the past day or so, and that has been very importnant due to the coller temps and rain we've been having.

Thanks for the new thread, Steve. Amazing how the eagles can tell when it's going to rain and be cold.

MITS said...

TroubleInWVa said...

Hi all... was eager to get on today to see the babies for the first time in several days and my live feed is connecting... connecting... connecting... *sob*

Oh well... how is everyone doing? It is a sunny, blustery day here in the Potomac Highlands.

Have a good day all...

MITS CHECK YOUR MAIL

MITS said...

THANKS, DANA, CHRISSY, AND PAULA brain freeze here, knew web broadcast sounded familiar, just could not think why, and never went down that far to look at other cams....I'm interested because it is only about 25 minutes from my place at the beach, go over Indian River all the time on my way to the outlets.

wvgal_dana said...

Did you get it Mits??

MITS said...

yes, Dana...thanks:)

paula eagleholic said...

MY RP is back on!!!

wvgal_dana said...

My LF is back up ( :

Does anyone use Brita or Pur water filtering?

MITS said...

I used to Dana, but have a filter built into sink, separate spigot

MITS said...

i hear sound on that osprey nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Still 2 eggs at BWO, osprey eating a fish

Parent at BWE

Pretty quiet our nest

wvgal_dana said...

I don't see Indian River squawking and don't see ours squawking....where is it coming from???

MITS said...

it sounds like water

wvgal_dana said...

Believe me Mits you won't though......it is OUR NEST lmbo

paula eagleholic said...

I didn't hear any water at the osprey nest....now Mits is hearing things....maybe she's had a couple of talons...

Check ya'll later...

MITS said...

I don't have our nest on, just the osprey cam:)

Mema Jo said...

I really hope we don't get a blown away eaglet from our nest!!! If it happens I'll be the first to the tree with fish and a blanket! I would LOVE to hold an eaglet like I've seen others do.

Headed out to dinner & I'll be back shortly.

wvgal_dana said...

I think it is just the wind at our nest. Making that sounds.

Just guessing egg turning at Delware.

Dinner time bbl

MITS said...

I don't have our nest on, only the Delaware Cam

paula eagleholic said...

OUr (middy and biggie) kids are picking over the nest for nestovers....

I hear the noise too, Mits, but have you heard anything else?

floralgirl said...

Two oldest chicks are pecking at scraps in the nest, slim pickings.. if one finds something of interest the other tries to take it away.

paula eagleholic said...

Hey, Cookie momster!!

floralgirl said...

Who me?? chicks are so silly- each has got to investigate what the other may have found to eat.

wvgal_dana said...

Looks like they want dinner or bedtime snack. lol

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like they've cleaned out the cupboards - no more stashes!

paula eagleholic said...

Gotta go outside and get some yardwork done...bbialw

MITS said...

no Paula, have not heard any sound from the nest, if there is a mic, might be too far away...

paula eagleholic said...

Look at Tiny swallowin that big bone!

MITS said...

that nest is as clean as a whistle, someone should be dropping off dinner soon

paula eagleholic said...

Dad, we want fish!!

BBL

melvsmom said...

I hope someone shows up soon with food. I hate to think of them hungry.

MITS said...

don't worry they are not hungry:)

melvsmom said...

I was one of those moms (and guess I still am) that offers food as love. Fortunately my son learned to set limits, but I still want to feed what I care about.

paula eagleholic said...

I know, Melvsmom!

I saw a couple of healthy poop shoots, a sign they have been eating just fine!

MITS said...

dinner is served!!!!!!!!!1

ceil said...

Evening everyone. Both adults at NBG
so cute

MITS said...

still standing on fish

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Ceil I see that they zoomed out now zoomed back in some.

Our eaglets are going to eat ( :

MITS said...

think someone wants the fish

MITS said...

or he is waiting for mom to come feed them.

melvsmom said...

What was all of that?

MITS said...

she answered so she is close by

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, instant Mayhem!

MITS said...

fish still flapping

MITS said...

beautiful night in NORFOLK

wvgal_dana said...

Fishing flopping around not for long though

MITS said...

Just a little eagle chatter

MITS said...

c'mon Tiny get over there

MITS said...

showing the other adult eagle on branch at Norfolk...so pretty

paula eagleholic said...

Or was that a warning call to an intruder?

MITS said...

and it just flew into the nest and NBG, and cam person followed it

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, saw that fish a flapping. That's probably when his head was getting torn into!

MITS said...

think it was some intruder, but the other adult was nearby, you could hear the different tone...seemed like it was waiting for geese to go by

paula eagleholic said...

Ha Ha, the fish that won't die

paula eagleholic said...

Can't get any fresher than that!

MITS said...

waiting for it to sing...."DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY"

paula eagleholic said...

I think Mom was up above to watch out/call out also, or to chase it away...

paula eagleholic said...

So that's how Lib got stuck feeding the noisy bunch!

paula eagleholic said...

Our fish used to sing Elvis songs

MITS said...

there is a night light on the Delaware osprey cam:)

MITS said...

so funny to watch them watch the adult leave

MITS said...

someone is cleaning their beak up near the microphone

MITS said...

cam is scanning all over the place at NBG

Costume Lady said...

That was a first for me...never saw a fish in the nest that fresh.

MITS said...

good old Tiny does not back down from a fight

wvgal_dana said...

Yeah there Wanda ( :

Yep that was a "fresh" one lol

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE...

HAPPY BIRDERS DAY TO YOU FOR TOMORROW.

Suzanne said...

Good morning, world. Not too bad out tonight, 46° in PA, 47° here in VA. And no rain for a change. Oh, Happy May Day!
Our kids are in one big pile sound asleep, BW kids are also in a pile sound asleep. BWO osprey either is wet or has feathers fluffed out. Jackdaw on eggs, osprey cam there still down. Osprey in Finney's nest, and Scotland osprey cam is up and running with parent on eggs. Nothing else open.
All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Athenaa said...

Mornin' Suzanne!! Looks like our eaglets had a very good night. How 'bout you?

Suzanne said...

Angus just arrived in Scotland, and Isla was and is still talking. He's grooming and ignoring her. He came in with a huge moss ball, and still has it under his foot. She has a feather stuck in her beak, and they just zoomed in to see it. Seems it's not stopping her talking, though, it just blows in her breath...
Our kids and BWE still sound asleep, lucky guys. Oh, Isla just wiggled down and got more comfy, maybe it's not Angus' turn yet. Oh, there she goes. Backed off the eggs and flew off. Here he comes, talons curled in. He is so gentle around those eggs! Turn eggs, tuck them just right, and wiggle down on them. Oh, I see Isla's feather came off and it's laying next to him. LOL, no he just took the feather and some moss and tucked it around him. That's a switch, he's the one that always moves the moss out.
Osprey in Finney's nest too. Female I think, very dark necklace.

Suzanne said...

Oh my goodness, good morning, Athenaa! You're up early! I had a good night, thanks. Just too short before it's time to get up and come to work. How was your's? You're not expecting more company today, are you?

Athenaa said...

OH SUZANNE!! You will never guess! I saw not one but TWO indigo buntings at my thistle feeder!!! I will get a pic and make it my avatar if I ever get a chance to get one.

Suzanne said...

OH, Atheena, I'm so sorry to hear that! But it does sound like she's had a wonderful life, and she'll have everything ready for you when you get to Heaven. How wonderful to know that. I'll pray for you today. Sounds like at least you'll have one friend with you! If the others are only going to be there for the day, hang in there! What a shame for them!

Suzanne said...

Oh wow! Congratulations on the two!!! I have not seen my one indigo bunting return, darn it. But it was wonderful that he stopped by to check out the food and show me how pretty he was! At least I can say I've seen one, now. I have 2 baby chicks in my wreath on my front door, and they're so cute. Well, if I don't look at them, mom stays in the nest, but if I look that way she takes off, so I kinda look out of the corner of my eye. At the moment, they're all mouth! I can hear peeping sometimes, and it's adorable.

Athenaa said...

You are so right Suzanne...so right. We will get through it just as she would have wanted us to. And all will be just fine.

Athenaa said...

Well it was two males....I couldn't believe it....I thought about you too....and wished you were here to get just as excited as I was!! LOL! The females are quite drab looking in fact they look a whole lot like a female house finch or something so they are kinda hard to pick outta the crowd.....but I did see one female and the only way I could really tell is that she is lighter than the other drab colored females. And she is shaped like the male...but I only saw the one female.

Suzanne said...

Athenaa, we get a "message of the day" screen when we first logon. Sometimes they have some pretty good quotes of the day. This one is perfect timing for you, I think. It's today's quote of the day from a very wise woman...

"And life is what we make it;
always has been, always will be."
Anna Mary Robertson "Grandma" Moses

Athenaa said...

Are these Carolina Wrens on the wreath on the front door?

Athenaa said...

HAH!! I think Grandma Moses lived to be a ripe old age too Suzanne!! THAT is definitely my quote for today! I'm gonna make all of mine "birdy" LOL!

Suzanne said...

I can't see the female close enough to tell! I think so, but wouldn't swear to it. Megan has Carolina Wrens in her wreath. As soon as I look at them, the female flies off, she doesn't yell at me, she just leaves. And when I look at her (quickly) out of the corner of my eye, I can only see her head in the nest. Little drab brown gal, like you said. But she's little, smaller than a goldfinch, and larger than a hummer. Flies kinda straight, and not crooked like finches.

Athenaa said...

Angus really looks small and slender on the nest doesn't he?

Athenaa said...

Well ya know a Carolina Wren will nest ANYWHERE! We had topsy turvy tomato plants one year that one nested in...it has a small little opening in the top to water the plant with..I told Sweetheart that I thought the babies should have fledged and that maybe I should check on the lil' guys...LOL well when I opened it up they all flew up and in my face LOL ....they couldn't get out!!! So when I opened up the top they were ready to get outta there!!

Suzanne said...

Oh that's funny! Good thing you opened the top for them! Yes, I know they nest anywhere. Had one one time in a hanging basket. Didn't even know they were there until I went and watered it one day with a hose! Mom flew up and really scared me, she took off so fast. After than, I kinda watered on the side, and carefully, and back to the watering can for that basket. She was right in the middle of the basket!

Suzanne said...

Oh, Angus is turning his eggs! He is a nice looking bird, isn't he?

Suzanne said...

He's not happy with that stick in front of him! He is so gentle around those eggs, it just amazes me how careful he is.

Athenaa said...

Yep Angus is one slick lookin' dude....but ya know I never met a Scottish guy I didn't like LOL!

Suzanne said...

Whoa! Had the BWE nest up a sec ago, minimized it, and just brought it back, and both kids were off cam. Wow, been a while since we've seen a totally MT nest. They have since come back, but that was a surprise! There they are, both in the middle of the nest again. Out exploring, I guess.

Athenaa said...

Did you see all the sod balls at BWO?? Also checked at the baby eagles at BW and there were none there! Then it refreshed and there was one there...they haven't been flying yet have they? I know I have seen them stretching their wings...and they are huge....

Suzanne said...

LOL Athenaa!!! Yup, it's those accents, huh???

Suzanne said...

OH, he just took off. Guess mom's coming back for her turn.

Athenaa said...

What can I say....I am a such a sucker for that accent. Melts me lil' heart it does...LOL! Well he came back didn't he...just wanted to stretch his wings I guess...

Suzanne said...

They haven't been branching yet, no. I think they were at the edge of the nest that is not on cam, bottom right of the screen. Gave me a start too! Guess it won't be long before they start! Oh, looks like Angus came back, not Isla.
Lots of sod balls at BWO. Guess they use the sod here like the Scottish ospreys use the moss. Curve it around the body to help keep the eggs warm. And protect them.

Athenaa said...

What's that long dark thang in there at BWO? I don't remember that being there before..

Athenaa said...

Gotta get Sweetheart up Suzanne so I guess I had better run...I'll be back up in few days when everything calms down.....
Hold down the fort!! LOL

Suzanne said...

I think that's a row of sod balls. Maybe they're trying to make a train, LOL.
Back in a sec.

Suzanne said...

Talk to you later, Athenaa, hang in there!

Suzanne said...

BWO couple were just mating again, and see we still have 2 eggs. Female got up enough to see finally.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SUZ...
Another COLD morning. Looking forward to warm mornings when I can go outside and drink my coffee.
