I somehow forgot to tell you guys earlier that our good friend Sandra walked throught the market yesterday with her husband Tom and I was glad to see them both out and about. She looks well and says she has been keeping up with the progress of the eaglets.
Hi there Hedgesviller! You flooded out yet? Chrissy hasn't been on the blog for a few days but she did send out Mother's Day greetings by Momsters email.
Why don't you investigate Eaglet_Momsters yahoo site. All 1 line

eaglet_momsters/
Thank you Megan!
Now that is the bestest news ever
what wonderful news, Megan....thanks
Absolutely beautiful news, Megan!! I hope to walk through that market this summer myself!
Thanks, Jo that road is 5 minutes from my house. check this out-http://baysidesanctuary.org/staff.html- sorry no time for link-
Deb nice picture slideshow. I did get lost in the badlands lol
Megan...you delivered such GOOD news. Go Sandra yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa ( :
Paula says still no luck getting on the blog but her feed is on.
Did you watch out for the rattlesnakes, Dana? You don't get off the path out there unless you watch real well. Off to mow the front yard. BBL
Deb there is a blackbird on the list for Endangered. has yellow mark like a check mark on wing.
I try to send the link to you.
Our parent is feeding the eaglets
Back from running errands. Live feed looks good, but no sound!
You guys have made me hungry, gotta go eat a bite of lunch. Won't eat hot dogs, but to put my two cents in....hot dogs should have mustard, chili, onions and cheese. Yummy!!!
Sorry to see Paula is still not on. Wonder what her problem was not being able to get on the blog.
Yes, have missed Chrissy all week. Thought for sure we would hear from her this weekend. We did get a lovely card.
Gotta go eat! BBL
Deb when you get back in check your email
Looks like storm is over at BWO
Adult in nest looks quite DRY.
Looks like adult can tent over at least 1 eaglet. lol
Thanks Megan I hadn't looked it up yet.
Link to Keedysville Sanctuary
BBL Taking a break
Lawn is done for another time, but I think I will have to do it again on Wednesday, it is really growing. I just was looking at the SJ falcons. The babies are really changing. Their faces are getting color in the feathers now.
Dana, you have mail.
I have a good many links for falcons and they range from little fluff balls to maturing chicks!
There are some on the NBG site under Falcon.. Of course we have SJ & Harrisburg. Then I have Dunn Memorial Bridge
http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/42555.html
The sea eagle is nesting..She is pretty.
NBG has a hawk cam too, Jo, that I found when I was looking at all the falcons, It has three babies. they are eating right now.
2 egg in loon nest now
there are now 2 eggs at the Minnesota loon cam:)
Jo you have mail
Loon is off her eggs
Link to LOON
Dana - on the Loon cam I see what you mean about it pausing and then starting right back up again.
Her 2 eggs are beautiful - She was out for a swim & then plopped right down on the eggs after rolling them.
Dana you have answer in your email.
I think the loon cam is getting alot of hits....
loon eggs showing again
Let me see if the blackbird picture shows up for Athenna's on here.
Thanks for helping me get right person Deb.
was going to fix hot dogs for dinner, but hubby is going on his annual golf trip to NC tomorrow, so am fixing a nice pot roast with potatoes, rolls and a green salad....hope he likes it...
It sounds delicious to me, Helen!
Well be dang if you aren't the considerate wife! I really knew you were all along. That makes me proud to know you!
thanks, Deb:)
We need to get the music going in the nest
Wingercises big time...
Look as though one found some old tough nestovers to chow down on...
Our little one has occupied Spunky's Perch all day long. Going to do some
flapping and drying out now
Now I just have to find Athenna's email address so I can send her the link to this picture and its information.
If anyone knows it ... you know mind so please send to me. Thank you
Jo I think our eaglet was doing the knew dance....Remember the chicken dance.......Well that was the new eaglet stomp and dance. lol
thanks, Jo I try....
I think they are waiting for their dinner.............
Mits we are still cold over here. We are having Tomato soup and grilled cheese this evening. Sound like it will warm us two up.
You are the good wife we know. ( :
I did not realize the earthquake in China was so devastating...9000 people died, and it seems to be near some panda territory
The temblor struck hilly country leading up to the Tibetan highlands, toppling buildings in small cities and towns in the largely rural area. About 1,200 pandas -- 80 percent of the surviving wild population in China -- live in several mountainous areas of Sichuan.
Ok back to me-self..we can show the picture to Athenna's if we don't get an email address.
Yes Mits it is very sad. I was hoping to hear on the news more about the wildlife. Of course, people come first. It was devastating over there.
I wonder if we will get some kind of report from China to the Panda People here at our zoos?
Come On Din Din
Where Are You - Mom and Dad?
I'm going to e-mail my boss, I'm sure we will hear something
Going to go find my DIN DIN..
SAD.....the earthquake hit the Wolong Nature Reserve and panda breeding centers. Last heard from around late Sunday night.
I was busy for a few minutes and now I can only see 2 chicks. Is everything as it should be?
Hi Everybody, Got off work early...power went out & boy, the creeks were rising!
Dana, is that a local bird? Looks like the red-winged blackbird.Red doesn't usually show unless flying. Of course, they're not endangered.
Wanda, I took pic of rhododendron yesterday. It all popped out in a couple days.
Good and bad (maybe) Park news; on the way out was able to see part of eagle nest w/binoculars & there
was "a whole lot of flappin" goin' on"!!!Saw brown wings and brown body (no white)!! So at least there is one eaglet there!
The osprey cam has been down since end of last week but the 3 eggs had hatched. However, today from another building, nest was obseved a few times w/NO adult.When I was outside, saw one adult standing at edge of nest, then flew away. Boo.
omg, that is one of their main panda sites:(the zoo curator goes there all the time, that is Mei and Tian's hometown
OMG, I only see 2 chicks now!!!!
Can somebody call Steve?
2 are facing top of nest pretty sure the one is at 12 position facing the other 2
THEY ARE ALL 3 THERE
The littlest one has been on the 12noon perch all day - doesn't want to get talons too wet. There is usually one standing right in front of him/her.
Now I think there are 3---two at 12o'clock.
Thanks for the update. I see 3 now.
God Bless and help those people in China:(
there they are...all 3 can be seen:)
Atlanta Zoo - Ben Charlton, PhD
Research Biologist was just over at
Wolong Research Center on May 7th
No update as to the quake. He wrote
..On a personal level, it was great to get out of the big city. It has become quite hot and humid in Chengdu these past few weeks, so it was good to get into the cooler mountain environment where the air is also a lot cleaner.
Naturenut is considered endangered call
yellow-shouldered blackbird different from our red winged blackbird

HERE WE GO FROM SD ZOO
...: This morning (May 12), a major earthquake hit Sichuan Province in China. The epicenter was just 56 miles (90 kilometers) from Chengdu. We have received word that the Wolong Giant Panda Research Center was not seriously affected. Our research technician, Jennifer Keating, is safe and sound in Beijing.
BWE & BWO has some updates from
Lisa............
Heard/read about the earthquake in China. Lots of devastation---hope we learn about the panda areas.
thanks, Jo, that makes me feel better....sure people will talk about it on Wednesday
from the NATIONAL ZOO
May 12
We are deeply saddened by the news of the earthquake that struck western China today. Many of you may be concerned about how China’s two giant panda breeding facilities were affected, and of course, we are too. We have heard that the pandas and staff at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding are safe. Wolong Nature Reserve, the birthplace of Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, is in Wenchuan County, near the earthquake’s epicenter. We have not heard about the welfare of the pandas and staff there, but are continuing efforts to communicate with our colleagues at Wolong. We are carefully following the news and will provide updates. We hope we will be able to assist China and our colleagues in the face of this tragedy.
May 5
Don't know what our eaglets are finding but they sure are digging for it! Hope their food comes soon.
BB after dinner.......
Thanks Mits I would say yours is the closest to an update as to what is happening within the panda area from what I read.
We pray and hope and I'm sure the US will help.
Mits please keep us updated as you find out since you volunteer at DC Zoo. Thank you
Heading out to eat dinner bbl
Think they have picked that nest clean
I wish we each had a camera on us when we are thinking that we only see 2 in our nest. A few of us have thought that today and I know I turn into an idiot!
we need to get the number of the man with the labs, in case we need a rescue
There's something going on at BWO... The female left the eggs (maybe 3, maybe not) again a few minutes ago, and now there's a fish crow perched on the side of the nest box.
Maybe something happened to the male Osprey in the storm last night, and the female is having to fish for herself.
Shades of last year.

news from LNest Update
05/12/08:
Special Alert-
Our parents have abandoned the eggs, and a crow has come in and broken them.
We knew we had young parents, and it appears the heavy, cold rain was just too much for them.
We'll update the web log later tonight.
isa....
that is so sad.....yet again.
Thx Jo for panda news.
And thx Dana for blackbird info. Will check it out.
Had rose-breasted grosbeak at Park Sat. & today his lady friend was with him! Gotta dwnld camera.
Thanks, Mema jo---will check it out.
Haven't been out but my daughter said Back Creek is really up!
How sad for BWO. I'm gonna call our Park tomorrow & find out about our ospreys. Seems if something happens to the female, the male doesn't sit on the young ones. He will sit on eggs.
Oh no wonder if any of the 3 eggs survived at BWO....:( so so sorry Lisa.
From the site of the pictures it doesn't look as any eggs survived. :(
There's an osprey sitting in BWO nest. Maybe there's an egg left or they can mate again?!
They have to fledge by September for their long trip to South America...don't know if they have enough time for that.
Lisa's reply to my e-mail:(
Thank you! Yes, we're very sad here. Especially since this happened last year, with a different couple. We're having some bad luck with this nest.
Lisa
asked Lisa about a second clutch...
No, I don't think we'll get a second clutch. It's late and being a young couple,
that might be asking a lot of them.
Helen, thanks for the heads up on the Loon Cam. That was one of my favorites last season. So 28 day from last Saturday, we should have another baby LuLu or two.
What a show off!!
I don't know which eaglet that was, but she sure was flapping those wings and stomping those feet. LMBO!
probably doing the Sherperdstown Stomp
hubby home off to finish fixing dinner.....I forgot to eat today....
One of the eaglets looks as if she has her head under her wing, asleep.
Isn't that unusual for such a young bird?
All done supper...Santa Fe Chicken(with rice and corn) and muffins. First time I have baked anything in umpteen years. Lolly would probably like this dish.
I don't think Belle has fed the triplets supper yet nor shook the rugs. (Maybe I missed that.)
how sad, BWO osprey is back on the nest...
Maybe one of the eggs survived the attack.
Almost Dancing with the Stars time.
Gee, you are really having rainy weather. Sad about BWO.
Have worked in the yard all afternoon. Jack made me quit at 5:30 or I would still be going. We sit and enjoy the yard before starting dinner, but tonight is yesterday's leftovers, do not have to cook.
Sante Fe chicken??? I think that is the name of a dish that I fixed once, but gave the recipe to my daughter. Does it cook in a crock pot?
Has Paula ever gotten back on?
Yes, Lolly. Everything is thrown into the Crock Pot. Wonderful meal for Sunday dinner.
Wanda, I think I found that recipe and gave it to my daughter. She is teaching, and with those two little guys to tend and I thought it a good recipe for her to put on before school. They like it a lot. I have had it once and it was very good.
you would think with all the rain spidey would have been washed away....
Itsy Bitsy Spider went up the water spout....down came the rain and ....
Evening all! Good to be back on here!
Blogger cop had me locked out most of the day!
Wow, lots to catch up on!
Mits - Was reading the Mount Magazine and saw the picture of "Maggie's Mounties"!
that is Maggie's favorite song....I see the little critter at bottom of pic..
yes, Paula saw it the other day:)
Wow, some really good news...Sandra was walking at the market...
And sad news, about BWO and waiting to hear about the pandas in China...hadn't heard 9000 people dies, omgosh how awful.
can still see the Minnesota loon
dawn in Finland...now osprey on nest
all those lost lives is such a tragedy....from what I am reading they don't want any outside help yet.
good, osprey back in Finland
It was such a busy crazy day at work...probably wouldn't have been able to post very much...only had our cam open, but I hate being blocked out by that blogger cop! Couldn't even get to my own blog!
wonder why that happened Paula?
I don't know Mits - didn't have a chance to restart computer...too busy. Hopefully will all be OK tomorrow...
I'm really beat, gonna watch some TV then head to bed...
Just got one set of so so pictures on blog. Called Baby Ospreys... Have some more I'll try & do tomorrow.
Missing my TV show.
Good night to those who are hitting the hay. Pray for the rain to stop! AMEN
good night, Paula
I was just watching the Scottish Lady Isla turning her 3 eggs and then really wiggling down to incubate them. I feel so badly about BWO's eggs again this year! I thought things were going to be ok after the intruder stopped coming by the platform.
NN- I really hope your osprey cam is up/running so you can see if the chicks survived all the rain.
Been watching TV, Dancing with the Stars and the Bachelor. Jack makes fun of both, but I enjoy them. So there!!
Was hoping Spidey's nest would be gone. Guess it was just wishful thinking.
Twenty minutes before the ferry!!
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE Rain has stopped here, but in ocean city where condo is, thay have some cleaning up to do with sand on the boardwalk..and some flooding down near inlet.
Missed the ferry1 It was a few minutes early this evening. Can see it behind the island.
Whoops! I see it clearly, guess I can catch it!
Quick! Where is The Ferry?
Nite all! Going to go prop up my feet! Sweet dreams!
BYE BYE LOLLY! Safe journey!
It was early by about 5 min or else
I was ready to go along!!
Sorry Wanda, did you miss it? It was a little early this evening. I was trying to watch the news and watch for the ferry. Almost missed it!
Dry? Sunny day tomorrow..70°.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS
Hi Wanda - It's the ferry boat in Finland. Maybe we all can catch it tomorrow - 11:30pm is the usual time but it went early tonight.
http://natureit.net/site/saaksikamera.php
Sorry, you missed it Jo!!! I almost did! We're going to have to be more careful! Will miss you tonight! Maybe tomorrow! :)
Nite All!! As I said before, going to go put up my feet. Sweet dreams!
Time to call it a day!
Sunshine tomorrow, please!
I have some more plants to put in the ground.
Good Night Everyone
Prayers being offered for all!
So happy to know that Sandra was
walking around town and down to the
market!
Hope you make it in
over the puddles, Suzanne!
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE...
Like everyone else, I'm sorry to see the storm take out the BWO eggs, but Mother Nature can be uncontrollable and unpredictable.
Hope it looks better tomorrow.
Good morning to Suzanne and the early crew of birders.

The middle of the night report since i am up and cant sleep.. Been playing bingo on Pogo and checked cam.. Cant see a darn thing spidy has taken over the camera lens and could be she has babies spidies too.. What amess!!! Ok off to try and sleep.. Have Good day.. Nilla
Good morning, world. Morning, Nilla if you're still up. Hope you can get back to sleep. Made it in today, but I can see why they closed Rt 7 yesterday. Still lots of water on the road. Think we ended up with 5" plus at my house, unreal! Will have to go see what I missed. So sad about the BWO eggs! Darn, sorry to hear parents abandoned them during the rain storm Monday. What a shame!! Seems this nest is not too productive last couple years. Hope that changes soon!
All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly! Oh, can't see our kids thru Spidey's web and his hopefully soon meals. BWE kids are sleeping.
Getting daylight, can see our very wet kids now and not spidey's web! They looked soaked. Little one is standing on Lib's perch. BWE eaglets are just roaming around. They don't look too wet. We have the female osprey sitting in the nest where the eggs used to be. So sad. OH, we have at least one Jackdaw chick, think one is hatching as we speak. How cool!! NBG eagle is sitting on branch, and the baby is sleeping. Mom falcon is trying to keep those big babies under her. See the egg has kinda cracked on the side of her. Both storks in nest, and they have an egg pushed out to the side. It was whole earlier, looks like it's broken now. NBG eagle has flown off and they were looking for him/her, but didn't see her. Eaglet is fine. later.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE I see the sun:)
Good morning, Helen! I'm glad to hear the sun's out!!! But it's a bit nippy out there!
PA falcon is standing over her kids and watching them sleep, that's adorable!
yep 44°here... I know we got alot, but we really did so need that rain.....
It was 44° when I left home this morning, but 47° when I got here. It has since cooled off quite a bit. I know we needed the rain, but not all at one time! We now have 2 jackdaw babies, and both parents were in the nest checking them out.
our chicks are preening
GOOD MORNING SUZ & HELEN...
It is a beautiful morning here; the sun is shining and the birds are singing their heads off. A catbird right outside my window is talking to me. It is still very cold and damp...39°.
3 scottish eggs are visible.
Morning, Wanda. Chilly here too.
Awwww, falcon babies alone in the sun.
