Thank you Steven for the new thread. Now we need both Live feed fixed and the refresh fixed too. Not everyone is able to be at the nest.

carolinabeachmom said...

Thanks for the heads up DANA and STEVE for the new thread. Congratulations on being #1 on the new thread DANA. Hey I have sound now. Maybe the pic will improve next.

wvgal_dana said...

Steven we need help. Live Feed is black. Refresh is a mess. HELP please

wvgal_dana said...

Candy are you in Winchester?

carolinabeachmom said...

Sounds like a lot of commotion in the background. I hope the others are not coaxing Tiny to fledge. He is still sitting there.

carolinabeachmom said...

No DANA. Josh moved out of there early May. He is staying with us again until he gets married in early October. His bride to be lives near here and both are trying to make a little money waiting tables for the summer. Meanwhile they will both be looking for jobs in Greenville, NC. and will be living there after they are married.

wvgal_dana said...

Oh contragulations Candy a wedding ( :

wvgal_dana said...

I tried again still no LIve Feed :(

carolinabeachmom said...

DANA I can't hear anything now either, but TINY is off the launch pad position

carolinabeachmom said...

My live feed is still counting down, but can't see anything except black and grey lines. The still cam picks us every once in awhile, but not often.

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Nature ( :

Looks like parent is in nest so that moves him away from the launch pad. Nope he is back at launch pad maybe with food.

wvgal_dana said...

I am doing that mental thingy from me to Tiny #3 "don't leave the nest just yet people are coming to see you fledge wait!!!!".

carolinabeachmom said...

I see he is back. Today will be the day I bet. Just hope everyone gets there in time to see it.

carolinabeachmom said...

I will also do the mental thiny with you DANA. Maybe if a few of us get Tiny the message, he will stay put. Now I am getting a very nice pic of the nest; but not live.

carolinabeachmom said...

Parent in nest.

wvgal_dana said...

Me too Candy me too.

If Steven would fix the live feed we could see it too.

Parent in nest again.

carolinabeachmom said...

Can hear Tiny peeping, but don't know if food came in. Parent took over Tiny's spot.

wvgal_dana said...

Liberty keep him in the nest please. Until the group gets there please pretty please ( :

paula eagleholic said...

carolinabeachmom said...

Good morning LOLLY. Welcome to bad cam land. It looks like two chicks in nest now.

Lolly said...

Hi Dana and Candy!!!! Thank goodness for you two!!!!

Pearl was in the nest when I went to bed. Is she still there or did she leave and come back?

wvgal_dana said...

Only Tiny #3 was in nest this morning.

Lolly said...

Well, I was so excited for this morning and those going to the nest. Might know we would have this trouble. Are you getting sound. All I hear is stactic.

Candy, I replied to your email.

wvgal_dana said...

Same thing here Lolly and the refresh keep messing up.

Lolly said...

Loverly! Going to get my cup of coffee. BRB

Lolly said...

LOL Just read back....so we gotta do a mental thingy to keep Tine in the nest. Love it! Let's do a mental thingy to get Steve to reset the cam!!!!

glo said...

Back from coffee and dog treats. Nice to see some bloggers blogging even if we aren't real happy with the cams. Misery loves company and we can all complain and hope together now.

I will be in and out way too frustratign to just sit here and I honeslty don't think we will even hear our Momsters from the nest area with all this static so...

Lolly said...

Hi Glo! Yes, misery loves company! So, glad you are here too. Yes, this is very frustrating!!!

MITS said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE here at the Clarion Hotel, just had breakfast, took a trip to the nest after dinner last night, 2 eaglets and an adult were there...take care.

deb said...

Good Morning, I have just a minute to say, "Have a wonderful day."

Mema Jo said...

I can see 2 in the nest..

glo said...

Think I just heard a poop shot, one of them lightening the load for take off

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning Helen & all others gathered there in the front lobby!

CU close to 10:30.... Yep I am going to make a full day of it!

glo said...

Mema Jo said...

LOL GLO!

Lolly said...

Whoops! Did one just leave?

wvgal_dana said...

Jo is Norma with you all?

Mema Jo said...

Have a good weekend DEB! Talk with you Sunday.

Lolly said...

Have fun!!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Hi MITS. Thanks for the update, you lucky duck. Enjoy the day.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Mits and all that is gathered in the Clairton Lobby ( :

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh on, looks like Tiny is getting restless. Sit and stay Tiny. Oh geez, there goes the still cam but I can still see Tiny's foot.

Mema Jo said...

Dana I am still at the house - doing a breathing treatment -
I am only 20 miles away so I can still get there to see everyone.
Norma is driving in this morning hr.

wvgal_dana said...

Ok keep her in the RV as much as possible.....Jo I am sure you know that....( :

glo said...

Well if any of you have a webcam that will plug into usb port bring it along with software. Between Vicky and Sharon we could see something while You are there I bet

glo said...

LOL I think I hear someone's cell phone

magpie said...

NATURE NUT: And all who cannot be in Shepherdstown this morning:

HAPPY FEATHER DAYDREAMS TO YOU!

You are with us in Eagle Spirit.

glo said...

Magpie are you Blogging from the tree now

carolinabeachmom said...

Magpie, glad to see that you weren't called into work and could make the trip. I know how excited you must be. You will meet the nicest bunch of people ever. Have a nice day.

Lolly said...

Tiny just keeps sitting there, ready to go. I am afraid he will take off any moment!

Just heard that phone you heard earlier, Glo.

glo said...

well we might be able to hear the momsters at the nest at some point.

wvgal_dana said...

Magpie I so much wanted to meet you. I too live in the area. I will be at the dinner but can't make the nest trip. Due to terrible pain in my neck. Will you be staying for the dinner?

Lolly said...

Just thought to check the loon cam. All loons gone, gone!!!:(

glo said...

Keep your eye on loon cam you will see them swim by

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Lolly I made comments earlier. Yesterday 1st chick got in water. Great swimmer right away. Later rode on Dads back. While Mom stayed in nest with other chick.

This morning Mom kept getting in and out of nest. Finally the 2nd chick followed her into water.

carolinabeachmom said...

Don;'t feel bad Lolly. I missed this morning's launch too.

Lolly said...

Yes, I saw the first one riding on its Dads back. Then I saw the second one in the nest. It was really interesting to watch. Just read Larry's log for today. He is such a good writer. He should write a book.

wvgal_dana said...

The two chicks already had their fight Lolly that Larry talked about on his blog. They were really battling it out as they rode on parents back. Then also when they went off parents back into water. I figure #1 chick won out.

Keep watching they swim back sometimes in the water other times on parents back.

movin said...

I don't know if he's ready yet, but No. 3 is standing on the take-off pad and looking like he's thinking about it.

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Jim ( : #3 Tiny has been there most all morning.

Lolly said...

Good morning Jim!

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MORNING JIM. Tiny has been in that spot for awhile now and we are all sending him mental thingy's (Dana started it, Dana started it. :)) to keep him on the nest until the eagle watchers arrive at the nest.

carolinabeachmom said...

Has anyone seen any wing flapping going on. I haven't yet. Maybe that is a good thing.

Lolly said...

Dana, you really got to see the little loonie fight?! Wonderful!Hope someone got a video of it!

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Jim join us won't you in keeping #3 in the nest until the group arrives. ( :

Suzanne said...

Good Sat AM world. Helen, and Ceil, and Mary Margaret, and Suzanne, and a new momster, Ellen say hi from the Clarion Hotel in Shepherdstown. We're waiting for the Eagle Express. It's hot already, but it will be great to see the eagles!
All have a great day, and know those that aren't here we're thinking of you.
Gene and Wanda just pulled in. Bye for now.

glo said...

Hi Suzanne and all waiting for Eagle Express. Get out there we are trying to heold number 3 down for ya!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Hi SUZANNE! Good to hear you made it too. The excitement is building for us here. Tiny is still in nest waiting for all of you to get there.

Lolly said...

Yea!!!!!!!!!!! Hello Suzanne! So glad you guys are having so much fun!

Mema Jo said...

Leaving now....... May just meet everyone at the nest... running a little later then planned.

Thoughts are with all of you!!
loLOVE

Lolly said...

I don't know about ya'll, but holding Tiny in the nest mentally is taking a toll on me!!! LOL Too much mental stuff early in the morning! They better hurry to the nest!

Lolly said...

Go JO, Go!!!!!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Have a wonderful time JO. Stay cool.

wvgal_dana said...

Wow neat Suzanne you all are loading now in the eagle express ( : Keep Norma close by.

glo said...

Yep I'm stressed!!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

DANA has something happened to NORMA?

Lolly said...

Two in the nest now?

Lolly said...

Okay, I am seeing things! Back to the eye doctor!

Hear that staple gun or whatever! Surely we can hear a RV load of woment!!!!! LOL

wvgal_dana said...

Candy no everything is ok with NOrma ( :

glo said...

I only see one Lolly

wvgal_dana said...

The RV will probably make that beep beep sound when it is backing up.

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY ON THE BLOG THIS MORNING.

I'll be glad to help keep him on until the momsters get there. Probably the only way we will get any pics or videos considering the condition of the live feed today.

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

Lolly said...

The picture has improved on the still cam, sure wish we had the live feed.

carolinabeachmom said...

Thanks DANA. With me not being on here for awhile, I have missed alot. So glad she is ok. She is a sweed lady.
Anybody taking the eagle cane along on this trip? :)

carolinabeachmom said...

Sweet lady!

Lolly said...

Well, Jim, if you are helping him stay on, maybe I can rest my brain for a while! I am starting to see things! LOL

glo said...

Well my guess is this is a big day for the NCTC cam. It will get lots of hits from folks who have been working all week, wanting to see the last fledge. Momsters who want to see and hear their friends excitement at the tree etc.

It is a shame the feed is not coming on

movin said...

We'll have to get Suzanne her own laptop so she can do blog again, at least on the weekends or on her own time during the week.

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Just spoke with Suzanne they are loading most are on there Vicky did get there to load on the Eagle Express. They know Jo will meet them at the nest. Norma is on the Eagle Express ( :

glo said...

She has a computer at home Jum but feels so exhausted evenigns and weekends she has not hooked it up. Said she would essentially be paying for the hook up to sleep.

Lolly said...

Norma, I know you are not on now, but maybe you will see this later. I want you to know I am having homemade coffee cake with a side of sausage while you are at the nest. LOL

wvgal_dana said...

That beeping you just heard was not a phone. It is something backing up. Don't know if it is Eagle Express that soon or not.

carolinabeachmom said...

Lolly, yours sounds better than mine; scrambled eggs and bacon with coffee.:)

wvgal_dana said...

Glo it is awlful hard to stay #1 on the webcam watch. When our webcam is black :(

glo said...

Dana do you think you could ask them to give us a warning before they back the eagle express up...I could try to record the sound for us to keep. I just need a 5 min warning etc and will sit to hit record if I know when.

DUH guess Sharon could do that right there at the nestsite and have it to keep and share.

Yep I am desperate to have memories to share as it is happening as well as after they all get back LOL

carolinabeachmom said...

DANA all I can here is static.

Lolly said...

And, Jack brought it to me at the computer and refreshed my coffee!!!

glo said...

Well yes Dana I am sure it is awfully hard but you did it :) and with some added effort managed to get some others to join you LOL.

glo said...

Aww Lolly that Jack is a keeper

glo said...

yes all I hear is static now BUT have heard a cell phone twice and that staple gun LOL

Lolly said...

Yes, he is!!!!!!!!!

glo said...

I can hear birds right now

Lolly said...

Had him for 43 years this month!

glo said...

OK just got my first Blogger cop message now ARGH might lose that now too. Oh No please don't do that Blogger Cop

carolinabeachmom said...

I am hearing less static now GLO, so maybe we will hear something when they arrive.

glo said...

well I would be approaching 40 this month but I don't have mine anymore :(...Gonna go see some special family that day though, so will celebrate a special time anyway

Lolly said...

Blogger Cop has been very active this morning!!!

glo said...

I honestly don't know if there is no picture feed if the record will capture anythng anyway but can try.

Lolly said...

You do that, Glo!! Treasure the day!

Lolly said...

Tiny is back in position!

glo said...

yes and still cam picture is good right now anyway.

carolinabeachmom said...

Tiny must be just waiting for the Eagle Express to arrive. Wouldn't that be a beautiful welcome to all?

Lolly said...

Glo, I know they can not get close to the nest. Do you know approx. how close they will be?

glo said...

That would be awesome

wvgal_dana said...

Just hold off a bit more #3 Tiny...you know they have to unload and get in position with their binoculars.

glo said...

well if they go to DayCare about 5 min walk although they won't be able to walk

If they sit out on this road area well its further drive wise and a little further as the crow flies but view is better.

glo said...

I am terrible with distances and have only been there once myself. I could walk from Day Care briskly in 5 mins though but nest view not too good from there

Lolly said...

Now WHY do we get static now?!!!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Lolly, one could walk up right under, as there is nothing but open field, but they stay back at least a couple hundred feet or more so as not to scare them.

wvgal_dana said...

While we wait. I took my first load the other day of my plastic bottles to the recycle place and cans. Really feel good about recycling plastic.

wvgal_dana said...

#3 Tiny is looking back over his shoulder maybe like something has arrived.

glo said...

they still have it all blocked off Carol..they won't let them in the field I don't think.

carolinabeachmom said...

You are a good person DANA. I recycle my bottles at school, and am a bad person at home.

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh ok Glo . I couldn't remember there being anything that stopped us last summer.

wvgal_dana said...

I still can't help but to feel saddened that Steven has let us down on the live feed.
What could that man be doing that is more important for today lol

wvgal_dana said...

Oh Oh stay if they aren't there yet!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Two birds in nest to greet all our Wing flapping.

Lolly said...

I think Tiny is flapping his wings!!! Putting on a show?

carolinabeachmom said...

Did one go?

wvgal_dana said...

He must be doing wing excersing because he has moved around.

carolinabeachmom said...

One still in nest!

carolinabeachmom said...

He is back on the launch area. Oh I hope they hurray up.

Lolly said...

He is in position again after doing some wingercizes!

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh geez, there goes the still cam. What else?

Lolly said...

You know, I am getting a little tired of listening to that static!

Lolly said...

Okay, who on here is living wrong? Something is working against us!!!!

glo said...

Its probably me.

carolinabeachmom said...

I can hear the osprey screeching outside my house better than I can hear the sounds on the live cam. LOL

carolinabeachmom said...

I am also going looney watching for the loons to swim by. :)

Lolly said...

LOL Glo! That made me giggle!

Lolly said...

I just heard a vehicle or a low flying plane!

carolinabeachmom said...

Hey all, I can hear peoplelaughing!!!!

Lolly said...

I think I hear them. Maybe my ears are going too!

carolinabeachmom said...

Well, I could. :(

Lolly said...

Good Candy! I thought I heard laughter as well. Hurray!!!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Patience paid off; the loon is floating with the chick on it's back.

Lolly said...

Tiny is still in position.

glo said...

I didn't hear them :(

carolinabeachmom said...

They are probably all busy now watching with binocs and taking pics.

Lolly said...

Great! Just saw the loon and little loonie. Wonder if each parent has one on his back.

carolinabeachmom said...

Well GLO, I guess it is true; you are the one living wrong. LOL :)

Lolly said...

Glo, there was laughter and then a lot of static!

carolinabeachmom said...

LOLLY This is the first one I have seen today. If there is one, maybe the other will be close by. The chick on the parents back is just too cute for words.

glo said...

:( yep its true AND I am on the phone with my daughter too.

carolinabeachmom said...

Saw in the background and here comes the loon into view again. Tiny just seems to be happy to stay put for the moment. Don't hear any eagles calling to him.

Lolly said...

Isn't it cute?! I watched yesterday and a couple of time I was sitting here gripping the arms of the chair, saying "get that baby", as it slid off their backs! LOL

carolinabeachmom said...

Being a MOM too, I can understand that. I guess they can make it on their own for awhile from what I have been reading on here.

Lolly said...

Isn't Larry's log great?!

carolinabeachmom said...

Parent back on nest at Loonville. Baby is in the water? Yep, baby is floating while parent is resting on nest.

Lolly said...

Every time I hear Tiny move I jump! He just changed positions.

carolinabeachmom said...

Parent back in water with two babies coming for help.

wvgal_dana said...

Oh my our nest big wings

carolinabeachmom said...

Tiny is flapping.

Lolly said...

Ahh! Both loonies in the water with Mom.

Tiny flapping again!

glo said...

nicest wing I have seen all day...well the only one.

carolinabeachmom said...

Maybe he is showing off for the visitors.

carolinabeachmom said...

It kind of sounds like Tiny might be flapping from time to time.

carolinabeachmom said...

He is up in the air!!!!

Lolly said...

I think he is giving them a show.

glo said...

aww well now this is cool. They will be loving this.

wvgal_dana said...

That is what I am thinking also.

Lolly said...

Oh, that startled me! There he was and then he was gone.....to the other side of the nest.

wvgal_dana said...

I'm going to try and lie down again. I'll be keeping blog and cams up.

glo said...

Well I am excited for those that are there but this is the pits for us. I think I am going to do something else with the rest of my morning. I have a nice wing picture now for today if Tiny goes. Might be the best we can do unless they get something at the nest. Gonna be hard to catch with all the excitement but someone might get it.

Lolly said...

Rest your neck Dana!

carolinabeachmom said...

Tiny looks like he is sitting right on the very edge of the nest, looking out over th the great unknown out there, trying to get up the courage.

Lolly said...

Yes, this is the pits for the rest of us!!!!

Lolly said...

That's exactly what it looks like. Just wish he would lift those wings and soar!!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Ladies, ladies. It will get exciting when they check back in with us; telling us all the happenings. Keep your chin up. DANA you had better rest your neck so you can get out there for dinner tonight.

Anne-Marie said...

anybody home?

Anne-Marie said...

I hear voices at the tree. I thought I for sure heard someone call "Tiny"

Lolly said...

Just talked with Paula and JO!

Anne-Marie said...

the tree is not near people. Its way out in a field so the people I hear had to drive there. maybe its our "Eagle family"
