Thanks, Steve. Still hoping for a reset on live feed. It is still running with sound and no pic.

news on the Norolk eaglet-UPDATE: May 31 2008, 6pm
by Dr. Mark Ruder at the Wildlife Center of Virginia
The Bald Eaglet was originally eating well off of a chopped plate and took bits of mice from the forceps. On Thursday and Friday, however, the bird began to occasionally refuse to eat. Today, the bird refused to eat anything off of a chopped plate OR from the forceps and was force-fed at each meal. These force-feedings are not going to help in our attempt to minimize stress for the eaglet. The bird also dropped a small amount of weight, from 2.26 kg to 2.15 kg. Our goal is to increase the bird's body mass to help it withstand anesthesia.

No big change in the lesion, although it is difficult to objectively evaluate its growth. If anything, it is slightly larger than yesterday, especially on the underside of the beak (within the oral cavity). Today was the first full day of interferon therapy, which we hope will stop the growth of the lesion.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Megan, thanks for the report on BUDDY. It doesn't sound very hopeful. At this point, one would think they would go on and take a chance on surgery. If he is losing weight, it is not likely he will ever be big enough to withstand the anesthesia. Without the surgery, he will surely die. TAKE THAT CHANCE.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning all. Overslept AGAIN this morning. Oh well, I see there are still 3 eaglets in our nest but sure wish the live feed was back up!

floralgirl said...

Hi Dave, Vicky, Wanda and Sharon:) hoping for the live feed also. Don't want to miss the first fledge. I sent Steve an email letting him know we had sound but no pic. Gotta go cut flowers... wow, I am sooo tired, this schedule is rough. Later, have a great day, should be a nice one here.

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning Sharon,
I think the still cam is frozen, check it out and see what you think.

glo said...

Good Morning. Yes still 3 eaglets. I have sent an email to Steve just in case he isn't aware of the cam status for us.

Buddy well he is no longer vigorous and healthy and i am very sad. We may not have hurt him too much yet by taking him and hoping for treatment but it sure isn't sounding like anything thats been done so far has helped. I agree with Wanda he could have withstood at least initial surgery much better earlier on in this treatment. He is isolated and suffering. I say take a chance now or put him down. He will either rally from the anesthesia now or not at all but he won't linger like this. Too sad. I am sure we can learn how to help others BUT there are lots of other birds to learn with if that is part of the goal. Make a more active decision for Buddy today!!!!!

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!!---CONGRATS! INDIANA DAVE!!---You are our #1 EAGLE DAD today & everyday!!---This is a GLAD TO BE ALIVE MORNING!!----ENJOY!--ENJOY!---SUN IS SHINING---SKIES ARE BLUE---BIRDS ARE SINGING!!!-----'What is so rare as a day in JUNE---then if ever come perfect day'---temp is a cool 58° here in WV----"HOME OF LIBERTY & BELLE---PLUS 3"---LIFE IS GOOD----"LIVE" IS GOOD----Will this be the DAY the 3 MOUNTAINEERS have been waiting for!!!!----

Costume Lady said...

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNIN' STEVE---INDIANA DAVE--
VICKY--MEGAN---SHARON--WANDA & GLO!!--------------- Thanks MEGAN for the update on BUDDY!!---I had that feeling last week!!!---Didn't want to believe it----We don't want him to suffer---'bless his little heart'---

normabyrd said...

MEGAN---Wish I could help you with your flowers!!----Think of how much JOY you bring to other people!!

Costume Lady said...

Waaaaay past time for coffee!bbl

normabyrd said...

WANDA---In our Sun. paper---there was an article about how we over use the word--AWESOME--So I thought I shouldn't continue to use the "A" word-----ho!

MITS said...

GOOD MONDAY A.M. EVERYONE Megan thanks for the update on Buddy....glad they have not cut him open yet, hope they don't, and just put him down as fast as possible, especially now that he has stopped eating....there is probably more to be learned from a necropsy, then putting him through the stress of surgery, but that is JMHO and I am glad they are taking such good care of him and doing the best they can under the experts supervision and God watching over them

Costume Lady said...

WE HAVE 3, AWESOME, MOUNTAINEERS IN OUR EAGLE NEST. HOW'S THAT, NORMA?

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' HELEN!---Sounds like you all enjoyed a fun weekend!!----We had lot of pouring rain----glad you folks didn't!!!-----

normabyrd said...

OH WANDA!!---You are COOL!!!!

MITS said...

I'm so thankful for the wedding couple, actually the storm during the Mass was pretty funny, just as the ring part was starting a huge clap of thunder shoke the church and the lights flickered...kinda of made you wonder what God was saying:)

MITS said...

like Paula mentioned yesterday rain is supposed to be good luck.....

normabyrd said...

Waiting for the men to pick up my car for another day---This car stuff drives me NUTS-O!!----Never get it returned on time---they don't pick it up on time!!----SORRY---We are not supposed to 'sweat the small stuff'!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

We need the live feed bad. Two are sitting and looking out from the launch pad!

normabyrd said...

HELEN----I think you know what "G" was thinking----------'GET THE ____ OUT OF THERE!!----You are FUNNY!!!!

normabyrd said...

ANNE---If you look in--PLEASE let me know what happened to the SKUNK?------Pray he just walked away!!!

MITS said...

Yes, Norma thought the same thing, was getting ready to go under the pew....

movin said...

RP just went down. Hopefully, they are resetting!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

RP just went down. Hopefully, they are resetting!

And now I have live feed with sound.

floralgirl said...

Well cool live feed is back, although the pic keeps going haywire, now you inside people keep an eye on the nest for the rest of us. Beautiful day out there, sun is shining. What I thought was a thrush nest is actually a brown thrasher nest, we are learning to tolerate each other, they have built in a very busy place in the garden. Also saw the possum again yesterday morning, my neighbor says it is a female with babies clinging to its back. I read sometines they are out in the early morning hours when it is warm to hunt for food. Back outside, gotta water gh before it gets too hot in there.

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, finally got into the blog!

Good Morning, everyone!

Glad to see the cam is reset and we have our live feed...just wish the reception was better...very staticy at times...

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks Megan for the update on Buddy!

paula eagleholic said...

BWE eaglet in the nest, resting

MITS said...

WHAT A PAIN!!!!! #$%# BLOGGER COP

MITS said...

no trash can, so I can't delete my 3 posts above, sorry:(

deb said...

I finally got in and see that lots of people are having trouble. Live feed is up, but static and picture is goofy. Rain again today here.

deb said...

Happy Birthday to Charlie! Hope you have a great day and can get on the blog!

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, I keep wondering during one of those "static-outs" how many eaglet will be on the nest when the pic comes back.

No trashcan Mits? I have one for ya :)

Costume Lady said...

I have been blocked from getting in her by GOOGLE for over an hour. I just wanted to give the forecast for saturday in Shepherdstown.
It is going to be partly sunny and mid 80's. 30% chance of showers. We will have the Eagle Express to be sheltered from the heat or rain if necessary. NO PROBLEM!

deb said...

I wonder what is in the Delta nest with the two chicks??

paula eagleholic said...

The dark thing?

paula eagleholic said...

Man, look at all those poop shoots on the tree trunks at Delta

deb said...

Yes, the dark thing!

paula eagleholic said...

Lunch?

MITS said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Charlie:):)

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, thought we had a fledge...eaglet above the cam!!

deb said...

Did you see the air that eaglet got?? The one at 1 o'clock.

Mema Jo said...

Whoo Hoo! I finally got in to say
Good Morning Everyone.

Mema Jo said...

I am out of here for a few hours

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

MY RP having problems...where's the 3rd eaglet??

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I just wonder if these 3 will fledge from the launch pad and all in the morning too, like the other ones did????

MITS said...

got my trash can back,,,,I had turned the cam off because reception was so bad....guess I better turn it back on.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Paula, I think it is directly under the cam but can't be 100% sure.

paula eagleholic said...

MY RP just reset...

LF still lousy...are all 3 in the nest or not??

paula eagleholic said...

Last I saw it was at the launch pad with wings spread...then LF was freezing,...tried to go back and look and daggone thing decided to reset w/o my permission!!

normabyrd said...

WOW!---GREAT TO BE BACK AMONG YA!!!
But my nest pic is rainbow color!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

What is that at 1 o'clock?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

That is the 3rd eaglet, right on the edge.

paula eagleholic said...

LOoks like one was hding behind the other on the back? Still looking at fuzzy replay

MITS said...

hard to say, Sharon

paula eagleholic said...

Really hanging on that edge!

normabyrd said...

Don't know who is on the blog now----GOGGLE put me off too!!!----HELLO DEB & PAULA!!
DEB---I saw you waive at me from the CORN PALACE!!!----COOL!!

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, eaglet has been there, now that I know it...can see it winding back the RP - was hard to tell then, easier now!

paula eagleholic said...

Would someone go give that cam or something a whack! Geesh!

normabyrd said...

WHOA JO!!---You didn't need to stay so long!

deb said...

I wasn't at the Corn Palace, Norma, I was waving from the campus of the University of SD! I don't think any TV stations were there though.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I don't think I have ever seen one of them sitting that far out!

deb said...

I think the eaglets are gone from the OK nest this morning, I haven't seen anything moving.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Dave #1 Dad today, Vicky, Megan, Wanda, Glo, Norma, Mits, Sharon, Jim, Paula and Deb.

Ty Megan for update on "Buddy". Sad news.

normabyrd said...

HEY!---I can finally see the '3 MOUNTAINEERS'!!---Only one is looking over the rim of the nest!
Have any of the EAGLETS branched yet?

paula eagleholic said...

Food drop!!

wvgal_dana said...

Screaming Eaglets ( :

deb said...

It is getting to be dangerous to fly into the nest, attack of the eaglets.

MITS said...

all 3 together in the middle of the nest.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Mornng Jo and bye Jo since your leaving .... ( :

normabyrd said...

TED KENNEDY is having brain surgery now---at DUKE!!---

deb said...

Parent at the nest in OK, no eaglets moving around.

MITS said...

floralgirl said...

Good grief, what the #@%* is wrong with the live feed???

paula eagleholic said...

paula eagleholic said...

Of all weeks!

wvgal_dana said...

Our cam is spasming out

MITS said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

MITS said...

LOL...poor parent is gonna get hurt one of these times...

deb said...

I hope he does well, Norma, it will be a long surgery.

The cam picture is so clear and then it goes bonkers.

MITS said...

I normally spaz out, so I'm ok:)

normabyrd said...

They haven't been flapping their wings much this morning!!---Or at least during the time I have been able to see them----

normabyrd said...

THAT CALLED FRUSTRATION!!---POOR STEVE & JOHN!!!---We are just in a fussy mood this am!!----Just pay us "NO MIND"!!!

MITS said...

Norma, if we don't fuss, they don't know what is going on, usually their closed-circuit TV is working perfectly, while the cam we watch does not.

normabyrd said...

They are LOOKING GOOD now!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

SOUND AGAIN BUT NO PIC!! ARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Now my RP is stuck on gmish-gmosh!

normabyrd said...

HELEN!---I thought everyone had sent the message to STEVE!!

normabyrd said...

WAX-----EAGLETS

paula eagleholic said...

I had to reset it finally...

No Pic, just sound

wvgal_dana said...

Well if this picture isn't a MESS!!!!!!!!!!

MITS said...

paula eagleholic said...

Maybe they are working on it

MITS said...

normabyrd said...

PA PERGRINE FALCON CHICKS are gathered in the shade of the post on the ledge!---PARENT was watching & they all began SCREAMING---parent left---they were yelling 'FOOD'----Getting taller & moving faster!----

paula eagleholic said...

I did email Steve again...

MITS said...

Don't know if you all have read this on the PANDA PAGE, but thought I would post it..

May 30
The devastating earthquake in China on May 12 and subsequent aftershocks left the Wolong Giant Panda Breeding Center (where our two adult giant pandas, Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, were born) and associated panda reserves severely damaged. The National Zoo has been working with the community of Wolong to help conserve pandas for more than 20 years.

The National Zoo and the Giant Panda Conservation Fund are helping the Wolong Giant Panda Breeding Center as it rebuilds and provides support for the giant pandas and their dedicated caretakers.

Your support will help the Zoo help Wolong meet its immediate short-term support needs, provide replacement supplies and equipment, and assist in conservation-related relief efforts. Your generosity in contributing to this special appeal to benefit panda conservation is greatly appreciated.

This was from John Berry the zoo director

MITS said...

thanks, PAULA

normabyrd said...

If any one missed reading the NORFOLK "CHAT TRANSCRIPT"----It is posted at their site---Will post the date of the next CHAT at that site!!!

normabyrd said...

Last night at dusk--looking out my kitchen window---saw an animal near the window!!----I got closer & was staring at a MASKED FACE---An ADORABLE YOUNG RACCOON!!---Turned around & kept eating the bird seed!!---

(my window at my sink is on ground level with window)

normabyrd said...

SCOTLAND OSPREY is off the nest & little CHICK is sleeping---hard to distinguish him from the nest---

normabyrd said...

nest is a rainbow again---

deb said...

I am finally back on here, problems everywhere today. I think the black thing in the Delta nest is a teddy bear. The parent just fed the chicks, but didn't feed them the black thing. I don't want it to be an animal!!

Eagle at Kent 1 just took off. Falcons at SJ are hiding behind the box. Three herons in the nest and one up in the tree.

glo said...

Are we having fun yet? goodness. Ran errrands and thought it would be better when I got back. I don't even know if blogger is going to post.

Looks like silly string on the trees at the Delta Cam.

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, I see others have been having blogger issues too!

A Teddy bear, gotta check that again.

Mits, Delta nest is at Hancock website

http://www.eagletmomsters.com/links.html

paula eagleholic said...

Turned Delta off earlier, thought it was messing with my RP...hmmm it may be, RP reloading again...

MITS said...

think I will shut the blog down for awhile, already shut the cam off

MITS said...

yes, Paula, have the site, was wondering where geographically it was?

paula eagleholic said...

Can't get Delta up now and my RP is down, down, down.

Time for lunch...

glo said...

normabyrd said...

WOW---I can't believe I am back on the blog!!----I was stuck on the EAGLET PAGE!!---Really thought the middle one was going for sure---But he settle back in the nest!! ---really flapping wings!

MITS said...

the thing in Delta reminds me of a penguin or Shamu the whale

paula eagleholic said...

Delta, British Columbia.

If you go to the site, and click on the info on the right of the cam, there is more info there.

normabyrd said...

JO---It was the GOOGLE STUFF again!!!

MITS said...

thanks, Paula....

normabyrd said...

WONDER if CHRISSY is still sick?---Haven't seen her on for a week or so----HELEN'S PANDA reminded me!!

Steve Chase said...

John is trying to fix the live feed...

Costume Lady said...

GOOGLE COP got me again. Can't get Live Feed either. Might as well mow grass.

MITS said...

thanks, Steve, we know you are trying to get us back on-line:)

Costume Lady said...

Hey, Ladies, prayers for John to fix cam. If he doesn't, he may need heavenly help! LOL We know that you do your very best, Steve and John.

normabyrd said...

THANKS STEVE & JOHN!----KNEW YOU FOLKS WERE WORKING HARD TO GET THINGS GOING!!----

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

NO RP SOUND OR PIC! HELP, HELP, HELP!

deb said...

I made it back on again. I keep getting kicked off, so I go do stuff and try again. What a pain!

deb said...

One of the female falcons at SJ has fledged.

ceil said...

Good afternoon everyone. I have just gotten on. Had to laugh. So many messages repeated.It we don't we will go crazy.This will probably post many times.

NatureNut said...

OMG, Google got fixed finally.
BEAUTIFUL sunbeams thru trees on Black Stork nest-Kurepesa.

paula eagleholic said...

Hey, live feed is back on...

paula eagleholic said...

No sound

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks for the info Steve...live feed still a little crazy...2 eaglets standing at this end, the other laying down at the back

MITS said...

yippee!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Eaglet @ BWE w/ fish

paula eagleholic said...

Hancock forum thinks it's a teddy bear too...I still can"t get on...

MITS said...

I'm still going to call it Shamu....adult eagle cracks me up when it looks at it.....did I read where someone thought it was a bear cub.?

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, Deb, kinda looks like a penguin or a whale..not sure if the white is stuffing or coloring...

MITS said...

yoo-hoo, Paula, that was me that thought it looked like a penguin or SHAMU:):)

MITS said...

So nice to see the juvie at BWE

deb said...

I think you are right about it being a whale. I thought it was a teddy bear earlier, but it was in a different position than now.

paula eagleholic said...

Sorry Mits... :):) Will ya ever forgive me?? :):)

paula eagleholic said...

BWE eaglet looks really pretty, nice sleek feathers

paula eagleholic said...

Live feed still having glitches...but not quite as bad as it was this morning...

MITS said...

ABSOFREAKINLUTEY, PAULA:):)

paula eagleholic said...

Lots of hopping and flapping by one eaglet...

MITS said...

the little black thing sticking out from the body reminds me of a fin....man that site is noisy

MITS said...

I am so happy to see the BWE juvies so healthy....I was really concerned for them for a long time..

paula eagleholic said...

Did you see parent drop right in at Delta, followed by that pesky black bird? It landed briefly on the nest

Mom moving the stuffy now.

paula eagleholic said...

Those look like the fish crows that were at the BC nest

MITS said...

nice that our eagles have a little shade canopy above them...

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Mits!

deb said...

Parent in Delta, along with the pesky birds. This one better be careful. They had bird earlier today for breakfast!

Anne hasn't seen the skunk again. She has closed off the doggy door so it can't get into the garage again. Hope it stays that way!

deb said...

I must be behind on my Delta cam, will have to move it forward.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, in my opinion, the sound is what causes most of our problems with RP. What do you all think?

MITS said...

motorcycle went by at DELTA, and adult took off....

MITS said...

well, could be, but it was a shaky a little while ago, with no sound

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

There wasn't near this much shade at the sycamore tree 2 years ago. Remember, Belle would stand with her wings spread out to shade them!

MITS said...

I know....but I hope adult is close by, just in case, they need shade

paula eagleholic said...

That Delta Mom is as bad as an osprey!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, Mits, I get your point. RP going nuts now!

MITS said...

yeah, she just takes off and leaves them!

MITS said...

my real player is going crazy right now

MITS said...

now it is fine

MITS said...

still is not as bad as when sound was on, but still think it has a bad glitch somewhere...

paula eagleholic said...

Pics from PH rescue

CHIL forum

paula eagleholic said...

LOL Mits, I meant collecting stuff like an Osprey!

MITS said...

ops////sorry....my train of thought must have crashed somewhere....

MITS said...

maybe I should eat something:)

MITS said...

wing flaps:)

paula eagleholic said...

Eaglet babes looking hot...wings spread.

deb said...

I got half of the backyard mowed and had to take a break. The humidity is awful today. Too much rain!

deb said...

I thought for sure that eaglet was going that time. I assume it was Pearl.

glo said...

Latest Buddy Update

we have seen a slight reduction of the growth on the eagle’s beak. The little bird is now able to breathe out of both nostrils. That is a small victory, but suggests that the drugs are working. We have now also reached all three of the eagle experts we needed to reach about the case. Surgery is definitely in the plan now, and we have two surgeons identified who can perform the procedure. We are in touch with both to see who is willing and at what cost.

We are still dealing with a really sick little bird, but this is the first day when we have not had to report a worsening of his condition. That is no small accomplishment. We believe the Interferon may be starting to work.

deb said...

Yeah for Buddy, thanks for the update, Glo!

paula eagleholic said...

Gosh they are making me nervous!!

paula eagleholic said...

All huddled together flapping

Now I think it's a stuffed puppy dog in the delta nest...with it's butt and tail sticking up in the air like the Pokey little puppy

NatureNut said...

Glo, Thank you so much!! I have been all over the VA sites today & couldn't find anything posted after the 31st.That's when they started full Interferon dosage. Did Dr. Ruder write this?
At least one tiny talon step forward!
Gonna light another candle!

My sympathies to people,too, who are ailing & Sen. Kennedy.

deb said...

When I first saw it this morning, I was worried that it was a real puppy or kitty. It definitely looks like a puppy now. I am glad it is stuffed!!
