glo said...

Tesoro Oro has fledged. Still waiting to see Tess who has been MIA now since early yesterday afternoon or late morning bUT both now have left their nest.

Suzanne said...

Thanks for the new thread, Steven. Thanks for the heads up, Dave. Could you see into the nest yesterday? Know how many babies you have?

Morning, Glo, didn't see you come in. Must have tiptoed!

Pic Steve has on the blog is pretty much what I'm seeing. That's about it. Eagle not moving much, just head a little.

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

Hi Suzanne The DNR is going to
make a fly over this week and then
i should know how many we have here
The eaglets are to small to see
from where i watch them.

Dave

Suzanne said...

Glo, they have somebody on cam out on a branch, but don't know which. Can't see an antenna. Oh, branch is on left of nest, they just panned out.
PA falcon on her eggs, hope she still only has 5. Goose is on the osprey nest in MN.
BW chicks are sleeping. What else? They have no energy to do anything else. Wish parents would feed them more!
CO owl twins are alone and have been most of the morning.
Let's see...turkeys in PA. Oh, both parents are in the nest in Hilton Head. Wonder what happened to the eggs, they have never said.
Belle (or Lib) still standing in same spot. May be laying down, hard to tell with all the fluff.
That's it folks, have to get on other computer at the moment. Later.

Suzanne said...

Oh, thanks, Dave. Hope you can get some pics from them!!!

glo said...

Yes Suzanne That is Oro. He stayed much closer to the nest tree...thankfully. I hope you saw the fledge film from yesterday I put it on Photobucket so you could see it.

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

I have posted some photos on my
blog Indiana nesting eagles 2008
The newer photos are on page 5&6
The weather has been bad with very
little sun which makes taking good
photos hard to do.

floralgirl said...

Hello again to all:) thanks for the new thread Steve- patiently waiting to see the nest...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, I have tried getting the still cam up through the Eaglet Momsters and Beakspeak and still nothing. I wonder what is up with that?

By the way, our cam is again the most watched cam on Beakspeak! I feel just like a proud mother!

floralgirl said...

Oh, it is so weird, I just tried getting the cam open thru other sites too. No luck. Hopefully they will fix the live feed soon. I did send Steve an email.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' BEAUTIFUL FLOWER GIRL!!----Now I can't get my REAL PLAYER to bring up the EAGLETS---Are we ever going to be back to the "THE WAY WE WERE"!!!---You are going to have another wonderful planting day!!!---ENJOY!

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Glo, but photobucket requires active x or something or other 8, which of course, I don't have. I've been watching those two, and they fledged while I was in my meeting! Grrrrrrrrrrrr. But I'm glad they finally fledged. Saw them a bit after the meeting, and watched as the parent kept trying to intice the one to return. Never did by the time I left.
Morning, Norma. Geese are both in the nest watching the sunrise. How cool is that! Your turkeys are also in PA.

normabyrd said...

LISA has a pic of the OSPREYS doing the HAPPY TIMES yesterday at their nest pad!!----THINGS must be improving---"keep fingers crossed"!!

normabyrd said...

SHARON---I tried to get the still cam up through BEAKSPEAK all weekend too!----I noticed we were tops then!!---Does tend to make you 'walk taller'---huh!!

Suzanne said...

Whoa, just lost both BW cams! What's up with that? Looks like Lib is standing on his perch facing nest, and all 3 of the kids are in the egg cup. As much as they fit, they are in the egg cup.

Suzanne said...

Phew, both BW cams back.

normabyrd said...

INDIANA DAVE!---I am anxious to find out how many EAGLETS you have too!!---I am so happy for you & the EAGLETS!!---ENJOY!

glo said...

Oh Suzanne I htought you could get photobucket just not you Tube well bummer. OK off for coffee and dog treats. Guess I won't put Oros fledge on Photobucket then.

normabyrd said...

WOW!---DANA---There is MORE than a PACE of DONKEYS this a.m.----As far as one can see---DONKEYS & MORE DONKEYS!!---ho!!

Suzanne said...

Thanks anyway, Glo! Appreciate you thinking of me. Bad timing on my part, but nothing I could do about it.

normabyrd said...

VA LADY is sitting on here nest!!-----FALCON BOXES listed under that site---appear to be nesting too!!

Suzanne said...

Wasn't really watching, but looks like Lib left, Belle returned, and she's feeding one of the chicks.

wvgal_dana said...

Contragulations Dadster Indiana Dave for being #1 on blog. Waiting also for your pictures.

Good Morning Suzanne, Megan, Sharon, Glo, Norma and Watchers ( :

Like the rest of you I'm waiting on Steven and Crew to get our "live feed" working.

normabyrd said...

CO SITE---EAGLE PIC--BLACK

KESTREL BOX---3 EGGS

BLACK DOG FALCON BOX--1 ON NEST

OSPREY SITE----2 GEESE--(who think they are OSPREYS) still camped out there!!

Suzanne said...

OH!!! Kestral has 3 eggs now! How cool.

Suzanne said...

Belle still feeding, but this time looks like a bite for the little one. She's feeding from the left side of nest, and he was in the right place at the right time. Other 2 are in the back. Adorable.
BW chicks kinda snuggling. Still no sign of their breakfast! Darn.
Morning, Dana.

Suzanne said...

Belle has head down to get another bite ready, and chick on the right looks like she's gonna climb over the baby to get this bite.

normabyrd said...

PA PEREGRINE FALCON has to spread wings a 'wee bit' to cover her EGGS!!

Suzanne said...

Think our kids are getting fed again, but parent is standing at 11. Turkeys still in PA. Birdie (or Bogie still on snag. Oh, we have tom turkeys in PA now, showing off their stuff! Think Belle is now laying over chicks, who are half out from under her chest.

normabyrd said...

WHOA!!---The 'LITTLE PRINCE' is full of "it" today!!---Rolled backwards down off the limb he was climbing---right on his butt!!!---Then he preceded to do somersauts down the hill & is running around & around as fast as those "little black legs' will go!!! ---- HELEN--HE KNOW YOU ARE COMING TO SEE HIM TODAY!!!---ADORABLE LITTLE IMP!!---ENJOY!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

LIVE FEED IS UP!

normabyrd said...

Suzanne said...

Norma, he's in quite a mood today, isn't he? Having a blast in that tree!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning everyone
Yep I have a dental this am - just a cleaning. I know how most of you don't like that word!
Sun is really shinning here in the valley and wind isn't too bad. Looks the same up in the nest.

Dave - will DNR get a photo for you of what's in the nest?

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Sharon for the heads up ( : Thank you Steven and crew for getting us the live feed back. Have a good day....because we will now ( :

wvgal_dana said...

floralgirl said...

Adult is yelling- just flew up and came back down- both here now- listen to them yell!!!

floralgirl said...

Wow- something has her riled up!!

floralgirl said...

41° and windy here, last gust was 23 mph- the sun is shining.. lots of hawks flying around today, already seen several soaring over my yard.

floralgirl said...

Ok, one adult flew out to the right- think it was Belle- the eagle who just flew in is still there. Can't see chicks too well, he's in front of cam.

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Megan I heard them wonder if after he came in there was a hawk in their area.

floralgirl said...

Adult is on back of nest now, feeding chicks- biggest is up and eating-

floralgirl said...

Hey Dana:) something definitely had her agitated, she was really yelling.

Suzanne said...

Sorry I missed you, Norma. I'll give 'em all pets. You have a good study group and lunch. Have fun.
Morning, Jo! Cleanings are a piece of cake, then you're good to go for 6 months! Just had mine done last month. Good to go till Sept!
Back to the other PC.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Really riled up!! I was thinking that maybe somebody was trying to get the fish being brought in!

deb said...

Good Morning, everyone. I am glad the live feed is up and running again.

deb said...

Both eagles in the Maine nest.

Mema Jo said...

I missed the commotion - was taking care of email messages.Looks as though Tiny is interested in getting some more breakfast.

Mema Jo said...

Is it Pearl in the back?

floralgirl said...

I'm not sure, has the one in back gotten up? I had to run out.

Mema Jo said...

Bib bird coming down to scoop up the crumbs from the egg well

Mema Jo said...

lol I meant to type BIG bird - but
Bib Bird might fit the occasion.
No, Megan - must have gotten its fill at the 1st feeding.

floralgirl said...

Wow- the last gust of wind was 24 mph! makes it chilly out there.

Mema Jo said...

Need to leave
Will return this afternoon

BBL

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

the flyover and he will take photos
of the nest for me.

Dave

floralgirl said...

Me too- plants are calling-this live feed is so great..

paula eagleholic said...

MOrning, all, anyone else just have sound and no video?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Paula, I have sound and video.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And just lost it all!

Suzanne said...

BWO ospreys mating!!

paula eagleholic said...

Now it just says connecting...

deb said...

I lost everything also.

paula eagleholic said...

I'll give it a few minutes...maybe it is being reset...

paula eagleholic said...

I sent Steve an email

Julia said...

I teach 4th, 5th, and 6th grade science in WV. My students have thoroughly enjoyed watching the eagle cam. We especially appreciate the short video clips that we can repeatedly watch and discuss.

paula eagleholic said...

Welcome Julia!

Can you access youtube or photobucket?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I had a new bird show up yesterday at my feeders and didn't know what it was. After much investigation, I have discovered it is a fox sparrow. First time I have seen one! Beautiful bird!

Geula said...

blogger cop is after me! was!

deb said...

I have sound, now, but still no picture.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

ME TOO ON THE SOUND AND NO PIC!

wvgal_dana said...

Welcome Julia and students ( :

deb said...

How do you keep the squirrels away, Sharon? I know have a squirrel that opens the suet feeder and steals the suet!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Geula ( : Sorry you have the blogger mean guy after you.

Geula said...

How weird can it be if an adult like me says YAY when she sees her first poop shoot from one of the eaglets...

deb said...

NOW, not know!

paula eagleholic said...

Oro or Bogey is still in the tree to the left of the nest!

floralgirl said...

Me too! sound and no pic...

MITS said...

Ok so we definitely are having problems,,,,GOOD MORNING EVERYONE DAVE, you are da man;). Think I'm all caught up on the posts, going to e-mails....Julia, welcome, glad the kids are enjoying the eagles, it is a nice learning experience

MITS said...

42° here, high of 55° today..

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Deb, I don't keep the squirrels away. Feed them too and their babies come when they get old enough.

Geula said...

and this is the first time ever that I have sound and pic and others don't! Will wonders ever cease

My goodness, they grow overnight!

paula eagleholic said...

I am back to sound and no pic

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, Geula, I guess we need to come to Israel and watch it with you! :)

deb said...

Thanks, I was thinking that was what I should do, but I hate them running across the street like they do.

MITS said...

same here....sound, no pic, and I can't in any way shape or form, get into any of the FWS/NCTC, site at all!!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Deb, where I live, there is woods all around and it is almost a dead end street, so not much traffic at all (except my new neighbor from Baltimore who is a real turd!)

MITS said...

Sharon, I bet he is not a born Baltimore person, bet he started off someone else.....

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I bet so too Mits, like wherever they raise the biggest jerks in the United States!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mits, you've got mail!

MITS said...

got it, Sharon....lone osprey at BWO

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Mits ( :

Well Geula you can tell us what is happening at NCTC nest (our nest)...lol since your the only one that can get it ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Deb I had a squirrel that use to open the suet door and take the whole suet pack. I had to hook the door to the frame with one of those hooks like is on the end of a dog leash. The kind with the little hook on the end.

MITS said...

both osprey at BWO...

wvgal_dana said...

Oro at Tesoro just flew somewhere the camera isn't yet looking for him. WAKE UP CAMERA PEOPLE

MITS said...

feeding at BWE:)

Geula said...

Well, as of now, I have nothing...no sound/no pic/server error!

MITS said...

Well, Welcome to the "CLUB OF FRUSTRATION", Geula!

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding at NCTC and BWE

2 osprey at BWO

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - Oro has been up and down since he came back over from the branch...I guess he is up now?

deb said...

Thanks, Dana, that is a good idea. I will get some corn, too, to keep them happy!

deb said...

Can anyone tell what they are eating at BWE?

MITS said...

some kind of bird maybe???

deb said...

You can see more of it now, looks like a bird.

deb said...

When I asked, I could only see part of it, maybe a wing and it looked really weird.

paula eagleholic said...

Look at tesoro quick!!1

Suzanne said...

Hi everybody. Did the chick on the right get anything to eat from this feeding at BWE? I saw parent feeding the one on the left, did not see the one on the right even get a bite. Did anybody else? Also saw the one on the left try to eat herself, and couldn't quite do it.

MITS said...

well, that should be easy for the chicks to nibble on thru the day at BWE

paula eagleholic said...

Gone - eagle landed right in front of the cam!!

Now on the branch to the right again...

MITS said...

I see a branch

Sunny said...

Good grief! I just opened BWE. They didn't have eaglet for brunch did they? ewww.....

Suzanne said...

Did anybody see the eaglet on the very right get any of this meal? BWE, I mean. Seems the bigger chick is now blocking the other one from getting near the leftovers, but I don't think he got any to start with. Looks like parent is gonna clean leftovers.

deb said...

That is a great view at Tesoro, thanks, Paula.

Adult is eating at BWE right now.

MITS said...

both chicks, still there, Sunny.

MITS said...

well at lest we know the parent got its fill at BWE

Geula said...

still no live video!

MITS said...

training time for the sloth bears at the NATIONAL ZOO, cam #1a

deb said...

They were both there when I first asked what it was, but I had just walked into the room, so I am not sure if they both ate.

Off the tree at Tesoro and back to nest?

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Deb! Guess nobody knows either.

deb said...

I was just going to say eagle at Kent 1, but was too slow for picture and announcement.

paula eagleholic said...

Here's the Tesoro video!

Tess returns!

Suzanne said...

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

armkar1 said...

Hi all and a wonderful good morning to you!

Is your cam down? Or is it just a problem I'm experiencing? Says server problems connecting or experiencing network problems.
I'm striking out all over the place this morning! No Maine eagles at the nest and then I can't even see the babies here! Boo Hoo! :(
I swear if I didn't know that it's April 2 I'd swear it was an April Fools Joke! :)....Karen in WA

paula eagleholic said...

Parent standing at back of our nest, chicks in the bowl

paula eagleholic said...

Karen, live video is down at present...

deb said...

Great video, Paula, she was sure checking out the camera!

armkar1 said...

Thank You Paula at least I know it's not a conspiracy! :)

paula eagleholic said...

Parent gone our nest

deb said...

Still three eggs at BC and CO. I can't get the live feed at CO right now..

paula eagleholic said...

Maybe that was a gull at BWE??

paula eagleholic said...

OUr parent is back at the nest. On the back...chicks are in the bowl...

Still feeding at BWE :)

Our feed is still down...

Mauley said...

Good afternoon all. Paula I loved the tess video. Thanks so much. Back to the grindstone. Have a good one. Can't believe how the triplets are growing. Such wonderful parents, our Lib and Belle.!!!!!!! Love donna

paula eagleholic said...

OUr babes look like they are one big pile o' fluff!

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding time our nest!

deb said...

Yes, they do, Paula. Both osprey at BWO. There is an eagle in OR on the branch to the right.

paula eagleholic said...

Osprey at BWO has a fish...

paula eagleholic said...

Full house at BWE

deb said...

Eagle in OR nest.

MITS said...

I'll take your word for it, DEB...lol...

deb said...

They are so fast at in and out at the OR nest, there one second, gone the next.

deb said...

It's tail is still there!

paula eagleholic said...

Biggest eaglet almost made it all the way to this end of the nest!

deb said...

Eagle in OR is in front of the camera!!

deb said...

You can see the detail in the feathers and see when it is breathing.

deb said...

Is anyone else looking at OR??

deb said...

Just left. I sent out a picture through momsters e-mail and I have a little clip to load.

paula eagleholic said...

Chicks are all snoozing now at parents feet

Both eaglets coming and going at Tesoro

paula eagleholic said...

BWE chicks are sleeping off that huge buffet

deb said...

I am off to the store, maybe we will have live feed when I get home??

paula eagleholic said...

OUR CAM IS BACK ON!!!

Geula said...

http://www.iws.org/bald_eagles/incubationcam.html

Geula said...

going to take the dogs for a walk! BBIAB!

paula eagleholic said...

You can only get that cam if you have neokast installed...

TH chick hatched a little while ago!

paula eagleholic said...

Chicks really have their wings spread out today

MITS said...

lucky me, I went a whole 40 minutes before the live cam froze

Sunny said...

Lady BWE sure has spent a lotof time in the nest today. Wonder if there is some threat nearby.

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm interesting thought Sunny. I was thinking maybe for shade...

Geula said...

that eaglet is starting to get fluffy! What a big black eye I just say! A noisey bugger!

paula eagleholic said...

Eating time at our nest and BWE

deb said...

3 osprey, BWO>

paula eagleholic said...

UH OH - 3 osprey again at BWO

deb said...

I wish I would have seen it earlier in the refresh, I got a picture.

MITS said...

male is still the squawking at something

deb said...

I'm watching the TH chick trying to get out!

TH breaking from shell

Doesn't make it out in this one.

paula eagleholic said...

Love that bulging crop on the BWE chick

MITS said...

MT NEST BWO

deb said...

I forgot who did the video, will look when I find the next one..

paula eagleholic said...

Pat did the incubator videos

deb said...

Pat did the video, I am watching the next one!


TH egg, almost there

movin said...

GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.

I just missed the 3 Ospreys at BWO. Saw the pair in several refreshes, looked at the gallery, but missed the intruder... if that's what it is.

I see the BW eagles have been eating well. Is that a fish?? Some angles look like it is, others don't.

Still trying to restore my puter files. Did a lot, have still more to do. I've got to get a decent backup program started. I've been relying on the "Restore" feature of XP, and it works well in minor problems, but those restore points disappear in no time when you are trying to restart your machine.

Have a happy day.

[:~D]

Jim

deb said...

This one is the best, How wonderful to watch.

TH is out

This is a long one.

MITS said...

GREAT VIDEOS, DEB, thanks for posting

deb said...

You're welcome, I had the easy part. They were all wonderful, but that last one was amazing to watch.

MITS said...

it really wore me out, was glad when egg shell was taken away

paula eagleholic said...

BWE stuck at 15:39 - was wondering about that pic!

paula eagleholic said...

Make that both cams are stuck at BW

paula eagleholic said...

BW working again!

MITS said...

my BWE and BWO's are working

deb said...

Mine say 6:12 and 16:13.

deb said...

Oops, 16:12.

Sunny said...

I think those BW babies doubled in size today with all that food!! They're getting huge!

paula eagleholic said...

LOL - It's "let's lay down and eat time"

paula eagleholic said...

What a poop shoot!

carolinabeachmom said...

HEY DEB, MITS, PAULA, JIM, AND WHOEVER ELSE IS OUT THERE. Juts got home from school and started to turn on the sites.

paula eagleholic said...

Tiny is up front, the other two are slight behind him....they are all being nice :)

Sunny said...

Maybe Pearl and Middy realized that there is plenty of food to go around?

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle just took off to the left...man they were realllly peeping!

paula eagleholic said...

And eagle just dropped back in!!

deb said...

Hi Candy and Sunny. That was a backwards fly-in? I have to look at that again.

paula eagleholic said...

Split is coming!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle looked like it dropped in from above...

deb said...

Your description is right on, Paula.
