HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB QUINN!!!!

ceil said...

There is a picture on the BWE site of a young eaglet at BW that is about as old as the ones on the cam. Pretty pic.

Wishing Bob Quinn a very Happy Birthday again.

Just been outside and it is a little chilly Megan.

floralgirl said...

now live feed is up with sound, but black screen

Suzanne said...

Thanks for the new thread, Steven, and the heads up, Megan. Brought this over from other thread.

Morning, Ceil. Thanks for the PA info. When did the 4th one hatch, do you know? I definately saw one egg this morning, near her butt, but haven't been able to count the chicks yet. I'm waiting for a good luck with dad brings food for breakfast. And having said that, I can see only 1 egg now. So they're very close together!

Our kids are waking up again, but no food has been delivered.

Suzanne said...

Mom is taking a break, can see all 4 chicks and the one egg. Hope it hatches today! They're so cute!

Suzanne said...

Oh, breakfast has arrived for the falcons! They're so cute, mouths are wide open. Well, 2 are eating, and 2 are sleeping.

Suzanne said...

They're all awake now, mouths wide open.

Suzanne said...

OH, see the kestral chicks have also hatched! Looks like all 5 of them hatched. One big fuzzball and lots of shells.

normabyrd said...

THANKS STEVE!!---Thought of you yesterday---I went to a RAMP FEED!!
DELICIOUS!!!---

Suzanne said...

Switch in Scotland. I think. Mom just came in, squawking up a storm, but dad's not leaving. Oh, yup, she walked on him to get him up, too funny!

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---It is a BEAUTIFUL SUNNY a.m. here in WV----"HOME OF BELLE & LIBERTY--PLUS 3"----temp. is 39°----They are a bit hard to tell apart--growing so fast!!---WISHING EVERYONE A GLORIOUS DAY!!---ENJOY & REMEMBER!!---LIFE IS GOOD!!!---ENJOY watching the 'AWESOME 3' -- Don't forget our favorite photographer is having a BIRTHDAY today!!----HAPPY--HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB!!!----ENJOY YOUR 40th!!!---

Suzanne said...

Morning, Norma. What are ramps again? Some sort of onion? I don't remember.

floralgirl said...

Hello Norma:) I am trying to enjoy watching the awesome three, but I can't see them!! ANd my computer time this morning is about over-plants are calling..

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' BEAUTIFUL MEGAN!!---Our #1 EAGLE MOM today & every day!!---HELLO---MEGAN--CEIL--AND SUZANNE!!!---

Suzanne said...

Think our kids are eating, looks like Lib in the nest with them. Also looks like they're feeding themselves! At least the oldest one, middle one is watching, and our little scrappy is over by Lib's perch.

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE!---They are like a wild onion----Grow high in the mountains & folks years ago called them a spring tonic!!---Now they serve them raw--fried--w/potatoes ---eggs & ham, etc.---corn bread--all kinds of food!---even in cake!!---They are truly an acquired taste!!---& SMELL TO HIGH HEAVEN!!----ho!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SUZ, MEGAN, CEIL AND NORMA...
I have a black screen also. Not a good way to start out a Monday morning.

normabyrd said...

I can't get RP to play---Anyone else having that trouble?

floralgirl said...

Yes, Norma, Live feed is back up but only has sound, no pic. I sent Steve an email.

Costume Lady said...

I think we all are, NORMA.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' WANDA!!---Bet they will have it up soon????---Keep the faith!!--- ho!

Costume Lady said...

Megan, what is the pretty flower in your Avatar?

Suzanne said...

Mom's off the babies again. They're adorable. Going to sleep, I think. When one moves, they all move. They have the egg right in the middle of them, adorable!

ceil said...

Good morning Norma and Wanda
Black screen here also.
Have to leave will bbl Have a good day

normabyrd said...

THANKS MEGAN---Good day to work in flowers too!--

floralgirl said...

Hello Wanda:) the flower in my pic is from a scented geranium that was blooming a few weeks ago in my gh. Gotta run, busy week, lots of planting to do. Gotta go fertilize gh with fish fetilizer-stinky but plants love it!! I did send Steve an email detailing live feed issues. later-

Costume Lady said...

Of course they will, Norma. We can count on them to fix it..(they don't want to hear us squawking!).

Suzanne said...

Mom brought breakfast with her, but one of the chicks woke up and has mouth wide open. Here mom thought she was gonna eat! She is eating too, and chick is sitting with mouth open, just in case mom wants to share. Oops, head got heavy, he fell over.
Thanks, Norma, I couldn't remember exactly. Thought they were some kind of onion from the discussion on here last year.
Morning, Wanda. Sorry live feed is still down. Megan can't get the 30 sec cam, can you?

floralgirl said...

Nope Suzanne, I am blocked from the 30 sec cam page again!! oh well-time to run, hopefully they will get feed working soon.

Suzanne said...

Uh oh, one chick got turned around and can't get back to facing mom. Still has mouth open, though. Other 3 are eating like mad, she sure feeds them fast.

Suzanne said...

Yeah, knew you were Megan, was wondering if Wanda could get it. And Mits isn't up yet, she used to be blocked too.

normabyrd said...

CHECK PA FALCONS!!---Mom is feeding the little white cotton balls!!---ADORABLE!!---We must enjoy them now!---Soon their little nest gets very dirty very fast!!---Not like our neat EAGLETS!!---SUZANNE--Didn't you say you saw the other egg?---

Suzanne said...

Switch in Scotland. PA kids still eating. They get really big bites, I'm surprised! Thought they'd be little pieces.

Suzanne said...

Yes, Norma. Still one to go. Don't see it now, it's on the other side of the chicks, I think. But saw it several times this morning. When did the 4th chick hatch?

normabyrd said...

I have a greater respect for the PERGRINE FALCON since I watched them on PBS!!!---They are truly 'faster than a speeding bullet'---eye sight unbelievable!!----Looking forward to the banding too!!

Suzanne said...

Norma, there's the egg, right in the middle of the chicks. Did you see it?

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---I watched Sun. a.m.---They kept trying to get out---in fact---they moved so much---she looked as if she were 'rockin' & rollin'----Her whole body shook!!-----didn't get to see more than one or so!---She must be worn out!!--They are slow to update there!!

Suzanne said...

Yes they are! They used to be right on the ball, but that person must have left, and the replacement doesn't update very often! Keep watching this morning, I've seen all 4 get lots of food, and they're all around the one egg. Hope it hatches today.

normabyrd said...

YEAH!!---I see the egg---why isn't she sitting on it?----I haven't seen DAD either---Yesterday--she kept calling---but he never arrived!!----There is such traffic noise there---trains too!!

normabyrd said...

The STORK is on her nest!!----Some eggs in that nest have been damaged---not sure how many---

Suzanne said...

Mom is really huffing now! She's trying to get those chicks and egg under her, just wiggling. Can't get them all to fit. She's sure trying hard, though!

Suzanne said...

Norma, he was there this morning. And he's been on top of the nest box, she was looking up quite a bit a little while ago. But I did see him this morning.

normabyrd said...

EAGLE in ORGEON NEST!!---(can hear a barking dog)

normabyrd said...

Don't you feel for her!!----She was doing that yesterday & she tried calling him a few times!!

normabyrd said...

CO NEST---EAGLETS alone in the sun!

How many KESTRELS are there?---I can only see the egg shells---Anyone see the chicks?

Suzanne said...

Norma, all 5 looked like they hatched. Saw one big fluffball, but no eggs. Just lots of shells, so I'm guessing all 5 hatched.

Suzanne said...

Both adults in BWO.

paula eagleholic said...

I have live feed with sound...no picture

MITS said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONEHave a great week!!!

Suzanne said...

Awww, mom is showing us her little cutie kids! PA falcon.

MITS said...

Suzanne said...

Morning, Paula and Helen. Paula, live feed has been like that for hours. Helen, can you get into the 30 sec cam? Megan is blocked again.

Suzanne said...

PA falcon talking to somebody! Dad must be around. Look at the chicks pecking each other, what a hoot! Can't even hold heads up, yet. Too funny!

MITS said...

paula eagleholic said...

MOrning, Mits

Suzanne said...

Now all the chicks are trying to go to sleep using the egg as a pillow. Mom just returned. or dad, but one of them.

Suzanne said...

One of our kids is doing wing flaps! Huge. Awesome to see.

paula eagleholic said...

I sent Steve an email, I'm sure they are working on it...

Gotta go for now, another busy day at work...boss off this week...

paula eagleholic said...

Oh and have a happy Cinco de Mayo!!

MITS said...

caught up on posts, off to e-mails now....bbl

normabyrd said...

All the little chicks huddled around the EGG & MOMMA returns & seems to be calling HELP!!!---

Suzanne said...

I think we have at least one egg in Finney's nest! That osprey hasn't moved all day.

Suzanne said...

OMG, the bluebirds at the nature center hatched over the weekend too! See 4 babies, I think, but no eggs. Guess #5 is there hiding under the other 4.

Bob Quinn said...

Thanks for all the Birthday greetings! 40! Ha ha Norma! Special thanks to Jo who sent me an eCard with a black cat. Our black cat passed away last summer from a heart condition. She was only 9. Sarah and I were in a PetSmart on Saturday and there was a black cat up for adoption from the Talbot Humane Society. 9 months old, so cute. It rolled over with all four paws in the air for us. We so wanted to take it home but we just can't count on how it would react with the other two. Our oldest is 16 now and in failing health. She would want nothing to do with another family member at this point.

Got some photos on Saturday, including a wet eagle and a killdeer sitting on 4 eggs in the middle of the Tubman trail parking lot at BW:

Saturday's photos

paula eagleholic said...

ARe those the cam eagles Bob?

paula eagleholic said...

Or Eaglets in the nest I should say

Bob Quinn said...

Paula - No, the first set of the wet eagle and the nest are at the Tubman trail at BW. I had never been there before two weeks ago. Very cool. You can clearly see the nest right from the parking lot. The eagle at the very end was in the stand of trees at the very end of the wildlife drive.

Suzanne said...

San Jose kids are getting fed!

normabyrd said...

HEY BIRTHDAY BOY!!---Those are COOL pics!!----Love the TURTLE--in fact I love them all!!----I have a woodpecker in my lawn---She has a big hole in a locust tree!--goes in & out often---(could be eggs there?) KILLDEER are wonderful to watch---they can really put on a show!!---Thanks for sharing!!---ENJOY YOUR DAY!!

Suzanne said...

Hi, Bob! Happy Birthday to you! Are you working, or did you take the day off? Your photos are awesome, as usual! That poor eagle is drenched!!

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---Those SJ FALCONS are a LOUD CREW!!!----Not like their PA cousins!! ho!

Lolly said...

Good morning all! Our triplets are getting fed.

Suzanne said...

Paula! I just watched your dancing video. That is adorable!!! They sure do look like they're dancing. How cool was that!! Just wow, they are getting so big so fast.

Suzanne said...

Hey, Lolly! Thanks for the heads up on our kids.
Norma, give them time, those PA kids will be very loud with they get older and all hatch! Times like this, I do not miss a sound card!

MITS said...

BOB, thanks for the wonderful pictures:), and have a great birthday!!!

Lolly said...

Suzanne, did you notice in the video how it looked like Spidey's meal was dancing as well? LOL

Suzanne said...

Norma, kestral babies visible.

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE-----Talked with friend Sun.---been turkey hunting---killed an 15 lb. one--He began to describe the turkey!!---Was exactly like those we watched strutting around earlier at the PA SITE----

MITS said...

Norma, are you getting sound at San Jose Falcon cam????

Suzanne said...

PA chicks are sleeping all snuggled around the egg.

Suzanne said...

LOL, Lolly, yes I did. Looked like the meal was dancing with our eaglet, didn't it? Too funny!! I'm sure glad that meal is gone now.

normabyrd said...

THANKS SUZ---The KESTREL'S eggs at the CO site have hatched!! Aren't they ADORABLE!!----Little CHICKS every where!!---Isn't LIFE GOOD!!!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' LOLLY!!---You are lucky---I haven't been able to watch our 'AWESOME 3' this a.m.!!---

Suzanne said...

PA chicks are getting fed again!

normabyrd said...

NO HELEN---But they are all 'snoozing' now!

Mema Jo said...

Happy birthday to our most favorite photographer and friend, BOB! Enjoy your special day! I think you should have taken the black cat home....Maybe he will show up today for you! Loved the new photos

normabyrd said...

HELEN----When I watched the first time they were loud!!----

Suzanne said...

Kids are full, now mom's eating. Or was. Whatever it was is gone. Do know there are lots more feathers flying around in the nest now. Nap time for the kids.

Mema Jo said...

It is a marvelous Monday because the weather is gorgeous & my 1st hummer was at the kitchen window waiting for me! I do have just sound & the 30 sec cam. Just the 3 kids in the nest now. Adult left. Love it when the one eaglet perches right in Lib & Spunky's spot!

Going to check out some cams &
emails.

Lolly said...

No live feed here, but can watch the refresh cam. Have the sound on, they started making lots of noise and I hurried over. The screen in black on the live feed, says it is playing, but it is nooot!!

Lolly said...

Whoops! Time to turn over computer to Jack! BBL

Bob Quinn said...

Suzanne - Yes, sadly, I am at work. I'll make up for it in a couple of weeks.

Jo - Thanks. Sarah really wanted that cat after a couple of glasses of wine Saturday night. Sunday morning was a different story.

normabyrd said...

movin said...

Good morning, Birders.

So far in So Cal it's overcast and drizzling at the airport but not here yet. But it's expected to clear up at least partially later. :~)

ZZ and Bai are on-camera now. BWE chick are standing tall. And my live feed "loads" all the way to 100%, and then it shows me the Real logo... maybe it will load all the way shortly.

I'm going to take a look at Bob's photos......... Have a great Monday.

C(°ï®¡°)D

deb said...

Thanks, Norma, I took that picture a week ago in the snow.

normabyrd said...

The 'LITTLE PRINCE' is roaming & some times running this am.---Keeps going to the wooden fence & coming back!!---Think it might be all the noise?

Costume Lady said...

Isn't it just like BOB QUINN to give us a gift for HIS birthday? Thanks, Bob, for your photos and have the best HAPPY BIRTHDAY ever!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' MOVIN' JIM!!---You will have a hard time choosing a favorite----All the pics are GREAT!!!

Mema Jo said...

Just watched the nest switch of our noisy Scottish lady Isla to Angus.
Saw a very good close up of their 3 eggs. Chrissy is right about Isla being so vocal!

normabyrd said...

WANDA----That's such a beautiful thought!!!--

Suzanne said...

The baby bluebirds at the nature center are getting fed. Their mouths are so tiny compared to the nest at the school!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING TO ALL late comers and have a good day...Doctor appt. for Mom again. BBL

Check out Capt. Eagles snake that he found inside the grill, if you haven't yet. On my blog.

Mema Jo said...

Our one eaglet is perched right under our cam - looks so large & grown!!!
The other 2 are sleeping
It is as though the one is keeping watch over the other 2.......

Suzanne said...

Wow, morning, Jo and Jim and Deb. Didn't realize I was not paying attention. Was on other computer.

paula eagleholic said...

Finny's nest does have one egg!

Mema Jo said...

That was quick!
All 3 are up & about now...

movin said...

Yeah, a very happy birthday, Bob.

MITS said...

SUZANNE HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY HOME--SENDING LOVE PATS TO QUEEN SHEBA AND HER CREW-----ENJOY AFTERNOON!!!

Mema Jo said...

Sunday afternoon I watched on the WETA TV station Pale Male! It was soooooooo good! RED TAILED HAWK..
Pale Male for a decade has nested in NY downtown at Central Park and fledged about 25 young ones! He has been through 4 mates. The photography is fantastic. I really enjoyed watching!! If you get a chance - do the same as you will love it.

Mema Jo said...

Still a black screen on live feed.

normabyrd said...

HELEN--Think we might not recognize them if we have to wait much longer!!!!---seem to grow over night!!

MITS said...

normabyrd said...

CURSES!!!!!----Garage was 'supposed' to pick up my car---this a.m.---& keep it 3 days!!----Up--dressed by 8:00 a.m.-----NO SHOW so far!!

deb said...

LIVE FEED IS UP!!!

MITS said...

get the cane out, Norma

Suzanne said...

Paula, I hate to be dumb, but what Finney egg pic?
Two of our kids are up by the tree, and think the little one is on Lib's perch in the back. These 2 look a lot larger than BWs pair. Course they've had about a gazillion more pounds of food to eat, too!

MITS said...

thanks, Deb for the headsup.

MITS said...

I wish I could download Finny's nest, any suggestions as to why I can't get it, and how I might be able to get it....anthing I can do on puter???

Suzanne said...

Dang, lost PA!

normabyrd said...

LIVE FEED BACK!!

Suzanne said...

Norma, you still here? You asked (I think) about the bluebirds. They must have just hatched yesterday, they don't have any feathers yet. Little things are nekked!

Suzanne said...

I wish I could help you, Helen, but I have no idea why you can't get that site now.

normabyrd said...

"AWESOME 3" --- Must be #3 in SPUNKY'S spot---WOW!! the other two --- not sure!!----

Suzanne said...

San Jose chicks are out for the count. Full tummies, and laying in the sun. Ahhh, the life!

MITS said...

I just e-mailed Jason at Beakspeak, maybe he can help, since I can't get on from his site>>

paula eagleholic said...

My live feed is up!!

Suzanne said...

Time for me to hit the road. I'll pet the kids for ya, Norma. All have a great eagle/panda day. Glad the live feed is working! Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

MITS said...

was watching them last night, and man did they have full crops, parent fed them then flew away with a huge dead bird carcass

normabyrd said...

THANKS SUZ---Must check those 'NAKED' blue birds out!!--They are all mouth -- aren't they?

Suzanne said...

Helen, I hope he can help you! I know you like watching that site. Good luck!!

paula eagleholic said...

Suz - there is a link to the Finny egg pic on the Puleston Site...on the message boards

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Paula. I'll see if I can't find it tomorrow.
Outta here for real, now!

normabyrd said...

CHECK #3----She is standing---WHOA!----She is an INDEPENDENT little thing!!!

deb said...

I lost PA cam, too. Today was the first time in a long time that I could open it.

normabyrd said...

I hope #1 doesn't start showing off his wings again---One big wind & he would be gone!!---Aren't they a handsome crew!!!---so healthy!!!

Mema Jo said...

I LOVE LIVE FEED

Thanks Deb for checking & alerting us.

MITS said...

they are going to dance right out of that nest...

Mema Jo said...

Last year's pretty basket looking nest at http://www.saaksi.fi./
is the one I can open.

This year's Finny nest with the ferry boat http://www.natureit.net/
is the one I cannot open.
I can't read Finnish so I don't know what is going on. Only the other cams open on this site.

Sääksi(?) Is this the Finnish word for OSPREY? It is on both of the cams.

MITS said...

my PA cam is working

MITS said...

I can't get either of those Jo. The Jackdaw I can, #5 is still showing the pic from last year.

Mema Jo said...

The 3 little (Growing) Hooties of Mama Cali's are together...
Their ledge never seems to get the bright hot sunshine. Perfect for raising Hooties......

Try this for the other Finland nest from natureit. Apparently they just changes something the other day.

Finnish osprey nest

Mema Jo said...

Mits - My jackdaw live feed has the current date of 5/5/08.... Let me make a link ok?


Link to NatureIT Jackdaw Live Feed

Mema Jo said...

WOW THANK YA PAULA!

MITS said...

I get the jackdaw, now with Paulas' link I get the osprey....thanks, Paula

NatureNut said...

This is my FOURTH TRY!!!
Hi to Everyone &
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOB!!!
Before blogger got hungry, one of our chicks started "dancing",flapped across the nest almost to the edge & jumped on both siblings!

MITS said...

and it looks like it could be an egg because osprey is sitting there.....wish I could find someway to translate what is going on, now if I could only get Finney's nest

deb said...

Thanks, Paula, it is such a pretty place, I had missed it.

Lolly said...

Ditto here! Thanks Paula, had missed that cam! Missed the sunsets and sunrise!

Mema Jo said...

Anne Marie emailed that she & Brandon this weekend watched the WA Wild Watch Bluebird cam & saw a very active bird. The nest would suggest a bluebird... Remember last year's mix up? The bluebird - then a swallow with those feathers - then the bluebird..... eggs upon eggs!
Time to start watching this one!

Blue Bird Wild Watch Cam

Mema Jo said...

MITS Is this the one?


Finney's Nest

Lolly said...

Wow,look at that sun shine here!

http://www.saaksi.fi./

Is this nest what you refer to as Finney's nest?

Mema Jo said...

My live feed went down
Will try to restart from scratch

Mema Jo said...

RATS!!! I really did lose Live Feed

Going to get lunch - sorta late doing so.......

BBL

Lolly said...

Mine is down too, Jo. Will not restart! :(

deb said...

Mine live feed is gone too.

Mema Jo said...

Glad I saw your comment Lolly before I left to eat lunch.... I feel much better knowing you are with me!!! lol

Lolly said...

Group therapy, that's what we need!!!!! LOL Enjoy your lunch. I think I am off to straighten house, goodness only know it needs it!!!

MITS said...

I click on it Jo, and nothing happens, so it must be Finney's nest and just will not let me in...

paula eagleholic said...

The link that I gave you earlier for the Finnish osprey nest....from nature it...has one egg.

Found the info on the Puleston site this morning...

MITS said...

ok, thanks, Suzanne thought you were talking about Finney's nest
