GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!!---SUN is coming out this morning & looking forward to a GLORIOUS day!!---here in WV---"HOME OF BELLE & LIBERTY--PLUS 3"---temp 40°----First time I have seen the "AWESOME 3" this morning!!---AREN'T THE ADORABLE!!---Need to go back & read blog---but I have study group this a.m.---Maybe I can check in tomorrow!---LIFE IS GOOD---ENJOY THIS DAY!!!
The babies at BW are also getting big. When I checked on them yesterday PM they were stretching their wings and it took up the whole screen! It looked as though they could get themselves offa the ground a bit even.
GOOD MORNING NORMA, SHARON & ATHENA... Suz, I am so glad you see MEGAN'S "SUN" changing too! She and Paula had me thinking I was hallucinating last night.
Walked away for a little- but it looks like a small fish in the nest- and the adult is nowhere to be seen. The oldest chick is eating and sort of sharing with middly.
Oldest chick is mantling fish- Tiny can't get near it- and middly is trying to steal a bite but oldest is on top of it. Here is adult- looking around nest- chicks are noisy- oldest chick is trying to swallow rest of fish quickly- food fight- everyone is trying to get this little fish, including adult.
Good morning everyone! Wild time going on here last night!! I have checked that sun out, refreshed several times, it does not move for me! Eagle Talons, huh? Better look into that!!
Whoops! Just remembered we are babysitting Zach, #3 grandson, this evening. Will take a raincheck on that invite, please. Anxious to try an Eagle Talon!!!
It looks as though the chicks have arrived at the age where the parents just drop the food off and the chicks grab it and feed as they are able according to size, aggression, sneaky thievery.
No. 1 gets it of course, but surprisingly No 3 is up front trying to grab some, and No. 2 is trying to sneak in and steal some.

OK, I swear, when I found that sun it was a moving avatar, but I never saw it move once I started using it on the blog until last night when Wanda mentioned it. And it would only move sometimes when I refreshed. And even when it moves I still don't see a monster. SO again, if you are seeing monsters, pass whatever you're drinking this way..lol...
Just had the shock of my life.. I logged into Pete's Pond and in full living colour and extream close up THERE was fatty sun bathing,,, I could almost see his eye-lashes. WOW,, you could knock me down with a feather,,,,,,
All seems quiet all round at the moment,,,chicklets look all comfy and cuddled up sleeping.
Angus is sitting nicely while Isla is off shopping.
Darling Mei is sound asleep too on her favorite log.
Su Lin is sat eating,, and Mei Lan is nowhere to be seen.
I can't hear a single bird outside in my garden. I think that due to the most horrible Hail-storm we have just had,, stones as big as golfballs,, but quite beautiful to look at,,, all sorts of colours in them when you hold them up to the light. And I've got 2 lines of washing out trying to dry too,,, oh well,,, I'll just have to do the ironing tomorrow I think.
OOOOOOOOO Tian, inside playing head-butting with his bong toy,, trying to get biggies out to eat.
But yesterday and perhaps the day before, every time I would minimize it or put it in the background, the video side would have to be restarted! The sound wound on and on however.
The Friends of Blackwater are proud to announce the following winners in our 2008 Eaglet-Naming Contest.
Winners:
The winning name of "Intrepid," for our older eaglet, was submitted by Lenita Gullman from Middleton, New Jersey. Lenita and her husband came to Blackwater in the 1980s to see eagles.
And the winning name of "Destiny," for our younger eaglet, was submitted by Denny Motsco from Reston, Virginia. Note that several people submitted this name, but Denny was the first.
We liked the name "Intrepid" because it means fearless and courageous, and we liked the name "Destiny" because our younger eaglet seemed destined to make it, despite the lack of food early on.
Both Lenita and Denny chose an eagle cap as their prize and will also get a certificate.
Thanks to everyone who participated in our Eaglet-Naming Contest. If your entries didn't win this year, hang on to them and you can use them again in a future chick-naming contest -- they might just win next time.
Did you see that... One stretches it's left wing all the way out and airs it out, and a couple of seconds later another large one repeats the same thing with its right wing.
And it looks like they're all sleeping off the recent feeding.
Well, I probably should get busy. I've got to do a lot of stuff here ... with the painters perhaps going to be here.
And I've got to get ready to drive to N San Diego County for a funeral tomorrow. My brother-in-law's father died a few days ago. I think he and his family came to So Cal in the late 50's from New Haven (maybe), Connecticut. I met them at my sister's wedding, and they've been like family ever since.
Very distinguished & meaningful names for the pair at BWE! Lisa thinks they have 2 males but of course since no banding they'll never know. Mainly goes by their size. I guess we may need to come up with 3 such names! However; Pearl,Middy & Tiny are ok with me!
Hi all, back for a sec. Still 2 eggs in BWO. Congrats to BWE naming contest winners. Destiny is close to a name I submitted...Miracle, cause it's a miracle they both are still growing in spite of the lack of food! See Belle is feeding our big chicks. Jackdaw just turned her eggs. Turkeys are in PA, one big tom flashing his tail feathers! OMG, eagle on cam 1, Kent! how cool. Oh, Belle left, our kids are lined up. Big middle tiny on Spunky's and Lib's perch! Too funny.
Pearl, Middy, and Tiny will always be their names for me. Are not our little bit of fluffys growing into fine young fledglings. They are growing so fast. Just like Big Boy, Ms. InBetween, and our little heart's darling, Spunky................ WOULD SO LOVE TO SEE THEM. have a good one dear ones, it is the day the Lord hath made and I'm rejoicing and being glad in it. Jim, so sorry for the loss. Will pray traveling mercies for you. donna

Hello Norma, Sharon, and Athenaa. Still chilly here, but the sun is shining brightly, thank goodness.
Walked away for a little- but it looks like a small fish in the nest- and the adult is nowhere to be seen. The oldest chick is eating and sort of sharing with middly.
Oldest chick is mantling fish- Tiny can't get near it- and middly is trying to steal a bite but oldest is on top of it. Here is adult- looking around nest- chicks are noisy- oldest chick is trying to swallow rest of fish quickly- food fight- everyone is trying to get this little fish, including adult.
whoa- oldest chick just swallowed what was left of fish-right down the hatch- gonna need another fish-there goes adult.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE 54° and sunny here near "your" Nations Capitol....don't have cam up yet, but great description by you Megan.

One of our babies is certainly exercising his wings this am. I guess it's necessary before they fly.
Yes, it is necessary, pretty soon they will get a little lift to it also, all a part of the show before the big day..
HELEN...I have a slight headache this morning...can't imagine why!
hmmmmm, Wanda???:):):)
Floral - I think you are messing with us...I see the monster now...never been like that before!
I have not had any eagle talons this morning...maybe I need more coffee.
Good morning everyone! Wild time going on here last night!! I have checked that sun out, refreshed several times, it does not move for me! Eagle Talons, huh? Better look into that!!

Good morning, all! It looks like the "thing" is gone from the cam!
Are we going to name our eaglets? or are they going to remain Biggy, Middly and Littly? LOL!
They sure are gettin big!
I don't see the monster, just pretty flowers
The Monster? HUH?
GOOD MORNING PAULA, GEULA AND LOLLY...
Eagle Talons...my house 5pm!

Geula, when Megan had her sun avatar, Wanda thought it was turning into a monster last night:):)
Geula - check yesterday's thread, first post - either you'll see a sun or a monster!
I definitely just see the sun..
I still see the sun/monster.
Will be there, 5:00!!!
Whoops! Just remembered we are babysitting Zach, #3 grandson, this evening. Will take a raincheck on that invite, please.
Anxious to try an Eagle Talon!!!

Anyone else having connection issues today??? Mine keeps starting and stopping...very unusual for me.
ROFLMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Mine has been running for about 4 and a half hours, seems to be fine, still have sound, hum is gone, hear lawn mowers or something like it.
Guess I spoke too soon, had to close and reopen Real player....usually don't have to do that
Mine stopped once, Paula, but started back up on its own
wooooo, lawn mower just ran over something...yikes
Whoa- mower just ran over something-didn't sound good. rock....

Awww, little chipmunk and big bluejay on PA cam!
My feed has been exemplary today...with sound.
But yesterday and perhaps the day before, every time I would minimize it or put it in the background, the video side would have to be restarted! The sound wound on and on however.
