Heavy Weather at NCTC



Just had a big line of strong storms, including tornadoes come through here. The two eaglets are wet, but acting normal. No sign of the adults or the fledgling right now. Live feed is down.

BLOGGER COP IS AWAKE...

Costume Lady said...

I think Tiny just threw a tantrum. LOL He wants his share of breakfast.

Good Morning Ceil and Glo ( :

Is Vicky traveling today?

Just Vicky said...

Thanks Glo for the Wax! At least I can shine my car with it!

Just Vicky said...

Hi Wanda and Dana, Glo and anyone else peeking in!

No Dana, Vicky rolls in tomorrow!

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning Vicky...
Drive carefully.

wvgal_dana said...

Yea there Vicky ( :

Working today and leaving tomorrow?

Just Vicky said...

I'll use my eagle eyes Wanda!

Just Vicky said...

Yes Dana that's the plan as it stands for now!

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY...

I'm up against my will and I hope temporarily, but I just had to check the action in our nest this morning.

So far, Liberty brought a nice fish, but probably not enough for both of the eaglets. It will be interesting to see if he brings another one for No. 3.

Food or no food, No. 3 is getting some real wing excercise and getting a little air under him too.

glo said...

Well I don't blame tiny for throwing a fit. Its his turn for sure!!! Dogs and I are back inside. We beat the rain. Right now severe stuff is just a little north which is good news for me. Just gettign skirted by it.

wvgal_dana said...

Vicky check your mail

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Jim ( :


Strange how at times when the 2 bend over. They almost look the same size.

movin said...

Take a peek at the new "Catalina Update" if you haven't already.

Wing exercising

wvgal_dana said...

Looks like Tiny is getting the "call of the wild"..doing lots of wing exercising. Looking to the beyond the nest look.

movin said...

I think it's No. 3 is 'winging' around the nest and has nearly gone off into the wild blue yonder on the 'take off' side of the nest a couple of times... I think he's far enough along he would probably survive if he did have an accidental launch.

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Now #2 Middy is doing wing exercising.

movin said...

Watch No. 2 now. He's giving the ole fledge flight a lot of consideration.

C(°ﮡ°)D

Jim

Costume Lady said...

Jim, there is a lot of dense vegetation on the ground under the nest tree. I think that would cushion any accidental falls they might have. Yes, Tiny does have that Far-Away look...like he is really thinking about launching.

glo said...

Fledge

Costume Lady said...

MIDDY JUST LAUNCHED!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

We just had our second fledge!

wvgal_dana said...

OM goodness did you all see that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

glo said...

and parent arrives with breakfast for tiny immediately

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

We were installing air conditioners and I had just sat back down at the computer.

glo said...

Hi sharon hugs and prayers for you.

wvgal_dana said...

I wish Steve would come in and tell us. If Middy #2 is branching or has left the tree.

Costume Lady said...

Tiny is finally getting First Dibs on a meal!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Baby Littley don't have to fight for food now. He may not leave for a week! :)

wvgal_dana said...

All food for Tiny until they cut him off to fledge.

Costume Lady said...

Mom and Dad were both in the nest, but I think only one brought food. Don't know what it is...doesn't look like fish.

movin said...

I was reading the Catalina Report and missed the second fledge. Anybody got a video??

C(°ﮡ°)D

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Unless he stays in the nest like Spunky did. By Saturday all will have fledged. Hopefully coming back and forth to nest.

Costume Lady said...

Sharon, have you had you test yet? Glad you got to see Middy fledge.

normabyrd said...

OH--I don't know what's wrong with me now!----I feel SAD that they are fledging!!!----BUT PROUD AT THE SAME TIME!!!!-----They will be back!!----for food & rest!!---ho!--What is the # of the one left in nest?

Costume Lady said...

Glo, please tell me you got a video of that fledge. I did not.
You and Paula are our videographers and I don't fool with what I don't know.

Costume Lady said...

Tiny won't know what to do with all this food and attention. Sharon is right, he will want to stay in the nest for a week.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Wanda, I see the surgeon at 3 today.

glo said...

got video

Costume Lady said...

Tiny has a turtle shell. Don't know if that is what was brought in just now or left-over from last week.

Costume Lady said...

BLESS YOU, GLO! We can always count on you to capture special moments.

wvgal_dana said...

Prayers for you Sharon.

Good morning Norma ( :

Great Glo got the video I think ( :

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I got the video too!

Costume Lady said...

Please let us know how thing go, Sharon. I think we all said prayers for you last night for a good report.

Costume Lady said...

I am so not into videos. I guess I will have to learn real quickly.

wvgal_dana said...

I sent Steven a email asking him if our #2 born is branching or fledged. Also to tell us if he sees any eaglets in the tree branches or Pearl #1 born on the ground. Maybe he will come in and tell us he sees 2 eaglets flying with parents.....that would be so good ( :

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Now, that is the kind of fledging we saw 2 years ago.

wvgal_dana said...

Oh boy Sharon got the video too...we will get seeing video of #2's fledge hee hee

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING NORMA...
Did the storm do any damage to your property?

wvgal_dana said...

Just want to say Good Morning Sandra and Carol.....

Hope Megan comes in and tells us things are ok. I know she had damage but how badly. Prayers for Megan too....that is her business. Which she is greattttt at!!! Beautiful flowers!! ( :

Costume Lady said...

We haven't heard from Megan yet this morning. I do hope she only had tree damage.

normabyrd said...

ALL ALONE!---"THREE"!!-----At last --- you will get food first!!----

magpie said...

Paula - Where are You....

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning Magpie, did you get to see the fledge?

Mema Jo said...

I NEED TO SEE THOSE VIDEOS

Just as that fledge occurred I was on the phone learning that the

NEW BABY GIRL named Elizabeth has arrived in Germany!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY THELMA !!!

GOOD MORNING ALL YOU EAGLE LOVERS|

WHOO HOO

paula eagleholic said...

I got video! Heard all the calling, only to see Tiny in the nest!

paula eagleholic said...

Congrats Jo!!

Costume Lady said...

Tiny doesn't seem to know what to do with his meal. He has to become more agressive or he will have a hard time surviving. Hope he stays in the nest for a few more days. He doesn't have the skills that his siblings had. He will learn now that he has the house and fridge all to himself.

normabyrd said...

WHOA SHARON!---WV has 15 counties with flooding--roads & schools closed!!----But you will come up through VA?----That's the best way--especially today---I keep you in my thoughts & prayers---BLUEFILED SHARON!!

Costume Lady said...

Another G.Grandaughter, how wonderful, Jo.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Paula, Jo and Margaret ( :


Baby contragulations to Jo...

Birthday WISHES to Thelma

glo said...

well Tiny has company again they must be making up for lost meals AND are encouraging the other 2 to head back home now!!!

wvgal_dana said...

I didn't see this season as much mantling as when Spunky was in the nest. LOL he was small but really was good at stealing food ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Is that what they call "whistling for you breakfast (food)" my ears lol

movin said...

Yes! Happy birthday to Thelma today.

40 years ago!!----BOBBY KENNEDY WAS SHOT!!-----I'll never forget that!!----You KIDS are too young to remember!!----It was a SAD day!!

glo said...

Congratulations MeMa Jo and Happy Birthday to Thelma

movin said...

You've got to see the great Catalina Report. Banding pictures and videos.

I don't know if they got a new camera or if they found a way to work the old one, but the pictures are much, much clearer with almost no haze.

C(°ﮡ°)D

Jim

ceil said...

Helen just called. She has no cable.
Happy Birthday to Thelma. Congrats Jo. Told Helen about the baby and the second fledge. BBL

magpie said...

COSTUME LADY: No, missed it !!! If I could take the computer to the shower I would have seen it.. Glad you did...I'm on for a little while, the peeping , do you think it is just Tiny/Littley or the fledglings as well? I'm waiting to see the video, and Paula's posts on the Blog ! Boss Momma Eagle needs to be here.

wvgal_dana said...

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, NORMA. I'm old enough to remember all three of the assassinations of the 60's vividly.

I was working second shift in '68, and I think I learned of both of them from my supervisor at work.

Tragic things definitely.
