Good morning!! Norma, I'm jealous of your temp. this morning. It is presently 76 and climbing. Today is lawn mowing day so we are getting out there very soon.

Can hear the birds singing on the cam. Neat!!

Hope all of you have a great day!
Beware of possums!!

Lolly said...

This is not good! Went to Finland on the water, there is no osprey on the nest. When I went to bed there was no osprey on the nest!

Costume Lady said...

Lolly, I am not a regular viewer of the Finland Nest...are there any eggs there?

Lolly said...

Yes, and one egg is in view. She has been on that nest for some time now.

Lolly said...

I have enjoyed watching that cam as it is so pretty. Also, it has been fun watching the boats go by.

MITS said...

I'm thinking that nest in FINLAND OVER THE WATER, has been abandoned, still see ann egg, but no opsprey:(

Lolly said...

Osprey just returned to the nest!!! Hope it stays.

Lolly said...

It did not stay!! Wonder what's up?!

MITS said...

TTUAL!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Jo lol thought you was already here. hee hee

I just went outside to get the newspaper. Low and behold walking back up ramp. I looked towards bluebird box. Male checking out the box and female waiting. Don't know if Blue and Birdie are going to have another brood.

I did check no eggs in there yet. I just put my feeder back up yesterday. Might have to take it down again.

wvgal_dana said...

Norma you said you had the CT cam on. You was having problems before getting it. Did it just start working or what? Happy you got it ( :

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING DANA...Most Bluebirds will raise two broods a year if they were successful with the first one. It might be a little while yet, but keep watching. You have been so blessed. My Mom's Bluebirds got chased away by sparrows. Their nest was nearly completed (Mom was so disappointed).

normabyrd said...

deb said...

Morning, again, everyone. I am back up, I was awake on and off from 12:30 on with storms. No bad weather, but it seemed like every time I would go back to sleep the thunder would boom and wake me back up.

normabyrd said...

Thanks for asking DANA!!---It is easy to get now!!-------Hey if you need another name for your female blue bird----How about "BLUETTE"??
ho!!----

normabyrd said...

My computer is so slow this am.

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE.

Is today the day they remove the growth from the Norfolk chick?

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

Lolly said...

Taking a short break from working in the yard. Thanks Norma for the comments on my pictures.

Sitting here reading the blogs,heard a couple of sneezes from our cam. :)

Lolly said...

Osprey at Finland nest but not sitting on the egg. :(

paula eagleholic said...

Jim - I didn't think that had been stated yet...

paula eagleholic said...

All 3 under the cam!

paula eagleholic said...

And one moves to 10 as I post

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' MOVIN' JIM!----I haven't read that they have decided anything yet!!----other than that the little 'EAGLET' has avian pox!

paula eagleholic said...

Parent must be near! Lots of calling out!

normabyrd said...

DEB---I have been worried about you!!---CNN has bad weather going your way!!----

Lolly said...

Boy, are they noisy!!!! Need to turn down the sound! LOL

deb said...

Yes, it is supposed to get bad later today. This first system is about done and then later today is when it is supposed to get bad. The weather guys aren't always right, though, so will wait and see.

deb said...

The SJ chick was released onto the roof of the building. Before they put it on the roof, they sprayed it with water and put a quail out for it. The reason they sprayed it was to prevent it from trying to fly while they were releasing it. Clara watched the release and the falcon crew is monitoring the roof.

floralgirl said...

Wow- someone sure wants to fly today... hope one of you records it if it happens- my computer power cord won't reach out into the garden.

wvgal_dana said...

Feeding at CT osprey

Bless you (sneezey Pearl)

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle getting dive bombed at BC while trying to feed eaglet - looks to be a fish crow.

deb said...

They are sure brave, do the eagles ever go after them?

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle on limb in Kent

Both parent with food at CT osprey

wvgal_dana said...

Deb the day I seen the mature eagle up close "Liberty" "really up close". Crows were dive bombing him. It was so hard to believe. He wasn't robbing their nest. I just laughed thinking "dumb crows".

wvgal_dana said...

Parent at BC to chase the fishcrows away.

wvgal_dana said...

Mits when you get back Comcast page has been working.

movin said...

Did you see the male ... Little Bit I think? He's really "flying" all around the nest, and he actually gets a couple of feet into the air!

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

Costume Lady said...

If those eaglets don't get fed soon, they may fly down and get their own meal. Come on Pearl, you can do it!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Have you all ever watched the video on Glo's site where Spunky fledged? I watched it the other day and read my blow-by-blow and heart started beating fast all over again!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

That is, those of you who weren't around then!

paula eagleholic said...

They are all peering down that right side...

Sharon - I found my copy of Spunky's fledge...I still had it in my email...watched it a couple of weeks ago...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Do you reckon these will fledge from there too?

NatureNut said...

Hi Everyone!!! Got sound--can hear those "little flappers".
Was scanning comments and Welcome to Magpie!!
Lolly, your pics are beautiful & g'kids so cute. They must love visiting there!Might send your pics to my daughter---she lives outside Austin & has pretty much lost most of her plants---azaleas,armadillos doing night digging!), roses, etc.They have few acres of mostly trees & had to install sprinkler system just for the grass!
Appears sweet little Buddy probably won't be released to the wild.Hurts my heart, but they can probably save him.I assume that to remove growth, he will lose some bone and other important tissue & since he's not full grown, will need other care. Wonder if they can do transplants or he can grow--bone, beak?

wvgal_dana said...

Good Afernoon Nature ( :

Lolly said...

Nature.....ohhhh I HATE the armodillos. It usually starts in the summer. They have destroyed my lawn at times. Not my plants, but the grass. I get sooo mad!!! Ahhhh!!!!!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I have sound but no pic again!

normabyrd said...

OH SHARON!---Any time I see a pic of SPUNKY----I get all teary-eyed!!
We don't seem to be as close to these 3---or maybe it's just me!!
One thing----Can't see in the nest as well as the first time!!!----I can't tell them apart & I haven't called them by a name---just a #!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

No food as of yet in our nest today.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Normabyrd, I have been sticking with Pearl, Middy and Baby Littley myself!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' NATURE & INDIANA DAVE!!----
DAVE!!---WE all miss SUZANNE---especially in the morning!!!---& MISS HER SENSE OF HUMOR!!

normabyrd said...

need food!--

normabyrd said...

SHARON---Remember---That's one way the ADULTS get the EAGLETS to fledge!!----Withholding food!!---But doesn't it seem a bit soon for that???

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

It does seem early, Norma, cause Pearl is 11 weeks old today.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Have to go out for a few, BBIALW!

floralgirl said...

The young will stay in the nest about 11 to 12 weeks when the adults will start encouraging them to fly. The eaglets can often be seen exercising their wings on the nest or on a nearby branch several days prior to fledging (first flight from the nest).

floralgirl said...

Got that info from the still cam page.

Costume Lady said...

Megan, you go WAXED.

paula eagleholic said...

4 little osprey at CT doing well! Mom feeding them now.

paula eagleholic said...

Mema Jo said...


Flag Day June 14 2007

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, Make that 2006, Jo

magpie said...

Thanks for all the welcomes, friends. I have learned so much reading the blogs for months, and keep adding new cam sites to my "favorites," thanks to all of you. So now I can access more and learn more! Looking forward to June 7 - and Paula, I will be sporting my new Eagle Pin! I have live feed and sound for NCTC, but had to reset it just once.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, 2 little ospreylets out of the bowl in CT now

Costume Lady said...

Thanks for the video, Jo. I guess the last one to fledge was SPUNKY?
Gave me goose bumps.

glo said...

Hi Everyone. Thanks MeMa Jo that was fun to watch again.

And it won't be long now at all until 3 more wing their way out to this beautiful country of ours.

hedgie said...

Hi all. Great Associted Press article in local newspaper today about the peregrine falcon relocation/restoration program at New River. (Ongoing efforts to rescue fledglings from bridge nests in East region, put them in cliffside "condos" for short time and then release.) Info on program and a link to webcam at:
www.nps.gov/neri
I couldn't get the cam open, nor any luck w/ tracking the individuals that have been banded, but sometimes it's just a matter of the server getting too many hits. Can't find the AP article on the web, so if anyone would like it, I can scan and e-mail it to you. Let me know at: robinwd@aol.com
