Have fun tomorrow.

NatureNut said...

Steve, Your message is making me cry!! I can't come--will go to work. BOO HOO
I want everyone going to have a safe and wonderful time. And remember, Film at 11!!!!

Lolly said...

I told them there was a new thread!

Lolly said...

Waaaaa!!!!! I wanna go too!!!

Lolly said...

Dana, did you get the message?! Make it over?

Lolly said...

Every one needs to go to the loom cam and read Larry's latest update on the happenings today. Also, he thinks the second egg may be hatching now.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Steve! We certainly will!

paula eagleholic said...

Lolly - food in the nest, and it's hot today....so the breeze, shade and food make the nest a very welcome place today....eaglet may leave later this evening or in the morning is more likely.

paula eagleholic said...

Heading home...see ya later!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I have to say I have every intention of having fun tomorrow and I so wish everybody could be there!

Lolly said...

Sharon, have you watched the loon cam? Dad is floating around with the little looney on his back. The second has hatched and is under Mom.

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Steven for the new thread.

Thanks Lolly for the heads up.

I love Blone riding on Dads back. Dad just ducks down into water and Blone is off swimming. lol

Norma I hope you are seeing this.

Lolly said...

Dana, did you read Larry's log? They had a little trouble today.

Lolly said...

I think Middy was exhausted from her first flight, she has slept most of the day!

wvgal_dana said...

Lolly I have forgotten where to click at to get to Larry's log. Can you tell me where to click? ty

Lolly said...

Dana, it is just to the right of the cam picture.

wvgal_dana said...

I found it Lolly never mind

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Lolly ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Very interesting Lolly....glad you brought my attention to read it. I would have been wondering after this 2nd egg hatches. What in the earth was going on. I still won't like it....but at least Larry has warned us it will happen.

Lolly said...

The second egg has hatched. The chick is under her.

glo said...

Well I don't think they are feeling a whole lot like sharing.

wvgal_dana said...

Parent made a delivery into our nest. I think it is Tiny that finally came up with it.

Lolly said...

Food drop! Whoa such noise!

wvgal_dana said...

Middy trying to take it away from Tiny and he isn't going to let him.

normabyrd said...

DANA & LOLLY---I missed seeing BLOON on Dad's back!!----I read the update---LARRY thought the little BLOON wasn't going to make it back up to the parent!!----I SWEAR--IF THAT HAPPENS---I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Now you don't have to worry Norma. He won't be going back to the nest. He will swim on his own. When tired he will climb up on Dad's back. Neat huh ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Middy #2 sees something out there and there he/she goes take off at 0 o'clock positon....don't know if just branches. Heard the branches up above.

glo said...

well another flight but I have no clue if it was a fledge. Because of the spot of take off I think it was not.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And Middy just got up the nerve to fly off again but it took her a while.

wvgal_dana said...

9 o'clock that was suppose to be

wvgal_dana said...

Tiny #3 is really excersing since no one is in the nest with him ( :

wvgal_dana said...

With Tiny #3 looking up a lot. I think he is telling us "they are up there" lol

glo said...

LOL Branching there for a minute

wvgal_dana said...

Sharon are you all on the road?

glo said...

This is not a good time of day for a first flight and gosh he can have an entourage of Momsters there to cheer him on and catch him if needed if he just waits till tomorrow am.

wvgal_dana said...

Out there is Daddy Loon and Baby Bloon on his back.

normabyrd said...

DANA!!---Are you not going to be there tomorrow??????

wvgal_dana said...

Tiny if you keep doing that with your neck. Your going to be in the same shape I am in.

normabyrd said...

When did you last see BLOON on DAD'S back!!!-----I have things to do -- but I want to see this happen!!

normabyrd said...

#3 is so lonely---she keeps looking up---wanting to see her brother!!-----Where are MOM & DAD???----poor baby!!

paula eagleholic said...

Middy has left!

wvgal_dana said...

Norma here is dad and Bloon

floralgirl said...

Here comes bloon, Norma

floralgirl said...

Well, there went bloon..

paula eagleholic said...

Guess that's old news!

floralgirl said...

I missed the flight out- I guess that is stil tiny in the nest- surely he can wait until tomorrow- say about 11 am...

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, that's Tiny

floralgirl said...

Gotta go back outside.. the loon cam looks very inviting, that water looks cold, and there's a breeze....

Lolly said...

Sat here all afternoon, nothing. Go away for a little while....Middy leaves!!!! Ahhh!!!

Norma, be sure to go to the loon site and read Larry's log. Very interesting happenings today. It is so cute to see him on a back.

paula eagleholic said...

Eaglet in the tree is cheeping really loud!!

paula eagleholic said...

Wow...fell back into the nest almost!!

glo said...

well I gasped but they did land phew 2 in nest

paula eagleholic said...

Didn't think that baby was going to be able to hang on!

Lolly said...

I think we have lost the sound. I hear nothing!!

paula eagleholic said...

Wish we could have seen above...then again, maybe not!

NatureNut said...

YEAH!! Middy returned! Heard screaming from the other end of house.

glo said...

This has got to be Pearl totally different landing and attitude.

Lolly said...

Well, that was strange! You were talking about hearing things, and seeing two in the nest. I had one in the nest and no sound! Got out and back on, back to normal. Is this Middy again? Whoops! Gone!

glo said...

That was Pearl...took off like a pro

glo said...

lol goodness me
someone back again

NatureNut said...

Was that a crash landing or what?

Lolly said...

Oh, yeah! Totally different attitude! Goodness Pearl!!! Be nice!!!

paula eagleholic said...

All sorts of calling going on...

Lolly said...

I can hear Tiny now..."YOU..again?!"

glo said...

well I don't think this is Middy. I think this is Pearl and she is very hungry and has been gone fartehr and longer than Middy

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, I see the reason for all the ruckus, parent arrived with food!

glo said...

Well our sound has certainly added a whole new perspective to takeoffs and landing.

Lolly said...

I think Pearl was very hungry and has been crying out so much she can't stop. Only when she has food in her mouth.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, I think she chucked a turtle shell over the side earlier!!

glo said...

Is that was that was Paula I saw something go over the side. Makes sense

paula eagleholic said...

You could hear it hitting on the way down...don't think old fish bones would do that

glo said...

LOL All I heard was yelling..lots of yelling

paula eagleholic said...

Wonder if he was fussing so long because parent was in tree, beheading the fish? I couldn't really tell whether fish arrived that way, but would make sense for all the ruckus....

glo said...

well she is having a good meal. Good thing number 3 got doted on yesterday LOL

wvgal_dana said...

Oh Jo will want that turtle shell that went over the edge lol

paula eagleholic said...

Pearl still working on that fishing...Tiny dreaming of flying..

gotta feed the doggies

glo said...

well think I will head out to do a little yard work as the sun goes down. Has been so very hot and humid during the day and stormy at night that well lets say I have lots of long green grass staring at me.

If you are going to the nest and out to eat tomorrow night do have a safe, cool and special day. Not sure if I will get to BLOG at you again tonight.

Lolly said...

Pearl finally got full and Tiny is picking at the leftovers.

Lolly said...

Getting dark and Spidey's web is starting to show.

wvgal_dana said...

Some landings aren't the smoothest...thought that one was going to fall back out of nest. Crashing throught the branches.

wvgal_dana said...

The loon chick is showing lady loon off nest

wvgal_dana said...

Well it doesn't look like any crash landings or pro-like landings has messed up spider web.

Lolly said...

Is Pearl still in the nest? Left for dinner and I can't make out anything in the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, Lolly, Tiny and Pearl are in the nest

Lolly said...

Thanks!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good evening all. We went out for a while this evening. Getting ready to pack and go to bed. Hope to head out by 6 in the morning, heading to the sycamore tree.

wvgal_dana said...

Sleep tight good nite and Gods speed in travels tomorrow AM

Lolly said...

Have a great time, Sharon!

wvgal_dana said...

Night everyone

Lolly said...

Nite Dana! Hope your neck gets to feeling better!

Mema Jo said...

Hi There! Vicky called to say she is safely in Martinsburg and will see us in the am!

Lolly said...

I don't like it with everyone gone. It is too quiet! Spooky! LOL

Lolly said...

Can not see anything in the nest. Still watching the loon.

paula eagleholic said...

I'm in and out Lolly, trying to get stuff together for tomorrow.

Sharon - are you still up?

paula eagleholic said...

Wow that was 9:30 she was on...probably not still up

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Paula, I am still up!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I can't tell - is there 1 eaglet or 2 in the nest?

NatureNut said...

Good Night and have a great, safe excursion tomorrow to those LUCKY enough to go to NCTC!!!

Lolly, I will be at work w/no 'puter tomorrow, so it will be you, Glo, and hopefully Jim & Dave during day.(Sorry if I forgot anyone else) I hope you will be able to hear some cheering on the nest cam!!

Lolly said...

Ok, Nature. Plan to glue myself to the cam in the morning. Going to bed soon. My eyes are tired!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I so wish everybody on here could get together!!

Lolly said...

Sharon, Paula said there were two. I think I can make out two.

Lolly said...

Me too!

Lolly said...

Quiet at both Finland nests. Think the osprey is gone from the nest on the water. Loon still sitting on baby in nest, other baby riding on dad's back. They float by occasionally. I am calling it quits.

Paula, Jo, Sharon and all others...HAVE A GREAT TIME TOMORROW. I will be right here at the computer. Lolly

Mema Jo said...

Tomorrow You Will Know What We Are Doing & Seeing
Vicky has her laptop!!!
Hopefully you will have commentaries from the sight!

If we yell so that you can hear us --
I guess we might scare Tiny out of the nest! lol

Let it be known that Lib and/or Belle, being the exceptional parents they are, are ALWAYS somewhere in that NEST TREE! I promise you that!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Beverly will also have her laptop!!

Mema Jo said...

I need to call it a 'good' day..

Good Night Everyone
Prayers for all being said..

Mema Jo said...

GREAT! We'll have great coverage for the folks at home!

See ya tomorrow........ Get to bed so you can get up early....

floralgirl said...

You people better get to bed!!

NatureNut said...

Just gonna shut down 'puter--also Deb, who is way out of town, can maybe help hold down the fort!
Just heard an owl outside!!! How cool is that in a development??
Night all!

Costume Lady said...

You too, Megan. I know you had a long hard day.

I am full of crab legs again but not as much as my Mom...boy can she eat those things!
I am hearing thunder...hope it passes on through. We don't need anymore rain.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS AND TRAVEL MERCIES FOR OUR FRIENDS

paula eagleholic said...

Daggone - Did I miss everyone?

Was trying to clean off my old pics off my camera disks so I have plenty of room for pics tomorrow.

deb said...

Paula, you have mail!

deb said...

Loretta, I won't be home tomorrow. I leave here at 5 AM and don't return until Sunday. Have a great time, thanks for cleaning out old pictures, Paula, be sure and fill them back up.

Costume Lady said...

DON'T FORGET TO RECHARGE YOUR CAMERA!

paula eagleholic said...

I got 3 gig ready to roll!

floralgirl said...

nitey nite!

paula eagleholic said...

See ya tomorrow!

EagleFaninCT said...

I am new to the Blog but have been watching our two great parents for two clutches. We were disappointed last year as you guys were too. Thanks Steve for keeping the fans informed and how is your house coming along?

floralgirl said...

oops-@#^% thunderstormm passing by here and the nest...

magpie said...

Wow, that was some heavy duty reading, 300 blog entries or so, just got home from a long day with the grandson, last day of 2nd grade, "field day" in sweltering conditions. Got me ready for tomorrow's heat, though. Sounds like so much action at the NCTC Nest, more to continue Saturday no doubt. Been wathing the loons incubating for so long, missed all the action Thursday and Friday. Larry's Updates are frightening! What a couple of days HE has had with his little Loon Family. Blessings to all, and Safe Travels, wherever each of you is going. Look forward to meeting 21 or so of you in the morning, hope I don't get called in to work! If I do, MEMA JO, I will call you on the phone. Tearfully.

magpie said...

PS: MEMA JO - I will be going straight to NCTC rather than meet at the Clarion....I come in the back way from Martinsburg, and will save a little precious gas doing it this way. xoxo

paula eagleholic said...

Welcome Big Al and family!

Magpie - see ya tomorrow, we will be there at the gate between 10:15 and 10:30

magpie said...

Thanks Paula -
Once I get in, if I find that the Eagle Express RV has not come in yet, I will wait inside the gated entrance and follow it in...big Splashy procession for our Eagle Family...got my Eagle pin ready, cameras, binocs, etc etc.

magpie said...

NATURE NUT, and COSTUME LADY: I have a small surprise for you: I heard a Scarlet Tanager at the Berkeley Springs Park Friday afternoon...did not have field glasses, but I know this is what it was. I have yet to see one this year, but I have hope! Good Night, or is it Good Morning? xo

magpie said...

Eagle Live Feed all sparkly looking. Looks like two Baby Blobs in the nest.

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE...

Have a great day tomorrow, take many pics, remember to take your lens caps off; enjoy, enjoy.

Everybody root for Big Brown to win the Triple Crown tomorrow.

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

magpie said...

G'night MOVIN. Hey, I didn't see any eggs in Over the Water Finland Nest, and Saaksi Marjaniemi looked a little bare too..what's up? Nice to know you are three hours "behind" us East Coasters...maybe you can have a look. White Storks look good, no time to check some of the others. Gotta get some sleep for Sat. morning in Shepherdstown!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning all. I see there are at least 2 in our nest this morning, really hard to tell. One, not sure which, has the head bobbing thing happening. Got to get in the shower and head to the sycamore tree.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

The other one just took off from the left side of the nest. Baby Littley just watching with great interest.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, pic is down but sound is up. I guess I am just going to have to go to that nest and see for myself! Everybody have a great day. Will try to blog from there.

floralgirl said...

Whoa- live feed pic is a mess...

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Sharon ( : Good early morning Jim and Magpie.

You say you have the real player working. Mine is black no sound no picture.

What's a girl to do when she can't sleep. Gets up to watch her favorite eagles and the screen is BLACK..

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Megan ( : How are things coming along over your way?
You are coming to the dinner right?

floralgirl said...

Wake up Norma, bloon is swimming around- and I believe there is a bloon two in the loon nest this morning.

wvgal_dana said...

Safe driving for all those traveling today.

floralgirl said...

Hey Dana- I am- and I'll see you later this morning- no mkt. for me today, spent the last 2 days cleaning yard and garden- got nothing ready for mkt. this am.

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Megan the 2nd chick hatched yesterday. Hasn't been in the water yet.
I called Norma yesterday so she could see Bloon on Dad's back. We talked for awhile. Norma got to see Bloon on Dad's back plus swimming in the water hee hee

floralgirl said...

Don't feel bad, my RP is running, but the screen is covered with lines, can't see anyhting. Gotta go cut flowers- see you later:)

wvgal_dana said...

Megan I'll be at the dinner. I've hurt my neck and can't come to the nest. I'll hope all that goes to nest comes to the dinner so I can meet them.

Megan did you read the great report on Buddy that Lolly put on blog yesterday?

floralgirl said...

so sorry Dana- hope you feel better later. I read that about Buddy and I made a copy for Suzanne to read. cu later:)

glo said...

Good morning. Sure wishing and hoping there is gonna be somethng to see on the cam today,

Have a great day folks you will see good and I hope they put on a show for you.

Hold that camera steady when that happens

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Glo ( :

Sure hope they fix the live feed.

wvgal_dana said...

I see Bloon in the water swimming around with Dad Norma. Other chick is in the nest. Mom just went into water. We'll see what the new chick does.

glo said...

well I hope so too Dana...snap away at still cam for now, might be the best we can do for a fledge sort of picture for our number 3

glo said...

it refreshes about every minute from what I can tell.

wvgal_dana said...

It is hopping to front of nest near the frame. Bloon look like a "pro" in the water. lol
Mom just came back and got on nest and took the egg shell into the water. Bloon is up to the front of nest talking with sibling.

wvgal_dana said...

Mom back in nest then out again. I do believe she is trying to encourage the new chick to get into the water. New chick is trying to get into water. Alittle scare of the height. And off into the water the new chick goes swimming.......yea!!!!!!!!!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

I sent a note off to Larry so he knows when 2nd chick went into the water.

Norma you are going to have to name the 2nd loon chick. Lucy is Mom Louis is Dad 1st chick is Bloon
____________ name for 2nd chick.

glo said...

well I am going to make a cup of tea I guess. At least there is no point in hitting refresah. It only refreshes when it chooses to anyway which is probably a good thing. I will keep an eye and ear out but well time will tell.

glo said...

RP isn't even tryign to load or give static right now. Maybe that is a good sign that it has changed...one can hope

wvgal_dana said...

Both the chicks are on the parents back. They are doing just what Larry said they would do ...fight to get the order of who is in charge. They just went into the water fighting both parents are around.

glo said...

Is anyone else up and watching yet that is snapping pictures of our last fledge wanna be. Hoping someone else is catchign a few of these. Feeling a little lonely with an eagle still cam at the moment.

wvgal_dana said...

Tiny (Little) is at the launch pad. Been there awhile on the refresh cam. Hope he waits till you all get to nest.

I need to lie down. Keep comments rolling. Hope Live Feed gets fixed SOON. I wished I had that "easy button" lol Oh Great the refresh is now messing up. I can hear something on Live feed but see nothing.
I think there might be another eaglet that came into the nest.

glo said...

I hear eagle yells amidst the static now.

wvgal_dana said...

Parent is in nest. Tiny is squealing. Maybe food.

glo said...

See the white of an adult head so yep even still is very bad..guess it might be eating.

NatureNut said...

Morning!! Getting ready to leave for work--
Live Cam is black----still is full of rainbow lines. Guess just Tiny is there??
Later

wvgal_dana said...

Nature read my comment above. Good Morning Nature ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Mom loon just swam up to nest with both chicks on her back. She hopped up into nest. Settled down for 2 seconds. Both chicks in water fighting again. Mom hops out and swim away from nest 2 chicks following and still fighting.

glo said...

perhaps there are 2 in the nest now too snowy to even tell for sure. Sib may have come in for breakfast.

glo said...

No guess there is just one. This is kind of rediculous. Will BLOG more if there is something to see and say.

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD SATURDAY MORNING GLO, DANA, AND MEGAN, AND NATURENUT Yes, I am one of you that is sitting home, watching and waiting.

carolinabeachmom said...

Couldn't wait to get up this am and see the nest. My son is sleeping somewhere else today and then to work, so I can get on the puter, but what do I find? Both screens are messed up. :( AND I missed the Loon launch!!!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Again, I hope everyone has a safe journey and a GREAT time today.

glo said...

Good morning Carol...yes its pretty frustrating to try to see a cam this morning. :(...Maybe it will get better and then again well...our pictures today may all come later from the nesting momsters :)

paula eagleholic said...

Seems as if the heavy morning dew/fog is messing up our camera. I reset and only have black pic and static for sound. Wish I knew how to reset it, I could do it while I'm there.

Still just one in our nest.

carolinabeachmom said...

I sure wish the Momsters and Dadsters were meeting a little earlier as it looks as if #3 is on the launch pad. I hope he waits for them to get there. Can't tell if there has been wing flapping as it is the old cam I am looking at.

carolinabeachmom said...

PAULA you get up there and set them straight about the live cam, PLEASE!!!!!! :) Be gentle but firm.

Mema Jo said...

Good Saturday Nest Day Visit Morning!

Looks like Tiny in the nest alone. I hope he waits for us to get there before he takes off! He is sitting right at the launch pad.

glo said...

Is anyone bringing a web cam. I know Vicky has wireless phonecard. She will most likely be able to get on at the nest. But I am not sure that her cam is built into the laptop.

Well Paula take some video and download it ASAP Please Please.

Mema Jo said...

Hey There Candy! Aren't you the privileged one this morning! We will be thinking about you and all the other Momsters who couldn't make it today with hopes of everyone attending the Open House Oct 18th.

The heat of the day already just knocks me over when I open the door.
Thank Goodness for the Eagle Express!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning again those that were here earlier. Good Morning Candy, Paula and Jo. ( :

We need a Saturday thread and help with the refresh and reset the Live Feed. STEVENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN not everyone is going to the nest!!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

JO I have marked my fall calendar for the nest visit already!!!! We have it hot and humid down here today along with the smoke from the fires west of here.

You take care to keep cool, but not too many EAGLE TALONS, lease. :) AND I do hope that Tiny waits for you to fledge.

Mema Jo said...

Welcome big al in ct!
Good question you asked Steve because we haven't had any update from him on the house repair since the fire.

carolinabeachmom said...

Hey DANA. Sorry to hear you are having neck troubles. Hope it goes away soon. Glad to hear that you will at least be able to attend the dinner tonight.

wvgal_dana said...

Tiny #3 has been at that launch pad most of morning except he did move when parent brought in food. I'm doing the "mind to eaglet thingy". Telling him to not launch until you all get there Jo.

wvgal_dana said...

Come on over to Saturday NEW THREAD so maybe Steven will fix the cams too NEW THREAD

Mema Jo said...

Hi Glo & Dana
I did email Steve about live feed
Vicky call last evening upon safe arrival in Martinsburg. Not sure about her having cam available.

We will stay in touch.

Mema Jo said...

No pic on my RP but it does go thru the buffering and the hits playing mode. Keep trying it off & on.

Mema Jo said...

30 sec cam starting to clear.....
Hope the pic isn't frozen.....
