Statistics

We got some statistics of how many folks accessed the still cam last month, and the numbers are big:

total hits are 3,402,750
Unique visitors was about 13,500

and we had visitors from 71 countries around the globe.

This bird site was a big referrer.

Remember these numbers are just for May. I suspect the numbers were much higher earlier in the season.

deb said...

Back to one at our nest.

Red said...

Does anyone have live feed or is it just me.

normabyrd said...

Has anyone heard from GLO???---Doesn't she live along the MISSISSIPPI RIVER?

deb said...

No live feed, Red. We had it for a little while yesterday.

MITS said...

no live feed here, RED

Red said...

Glo is fine. She lives 22 blocks from the river on high ground.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' RED EAGLE---I haven't had RP all morning!!---Have you heard from GLO?

Red said...

I'm thinking maybe I will withdraw my apology. Sorry John. lol

MITS said...

Glo posted the other day where she lives and eveything was fine, Norma

normabyrd said...

Thanks RED EAGLE!---I have been thinking about her all am---

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I think Glo is heading to AZ on Monday to see that grandbaby!

normabyrd said...

INDIANA DAVE & FRIENDS ---are cleaning up the mess!!---So Sad!!

MITS said...

Mei Xiang is in the water.

MITS said...

awww she wash washing her pretty face

MITS said...

they had some storm damage at the nest, Red

normabyrd said...

Thanks SHARON---I didn't know GLO had a new baby!---WONDERFUL!-----that would certainly take her mind off the flooding!!---girl or boy!!----She has a granddaughter!!

MITS said...

that was supposed to be was

Red said...

I was in computer maintenance all my life and I cannot understnd how a problem can go on for so long. Sorry but thats just how I feel.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Norma, Elia is a couple years old I think.

paula eagleholic said...

Red - Did you read Mits comment?

We had some storm damage at the nest...and that is what is interfering with the signal. It can't be fixed until the eaglets leave the area...they cannot climb the tree at this point....

So it is something that we have to live with for now...

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Eagle Friends ( :

I must get on here once today so I am a "unique visitor" hee hee

Lots of people watching

normabyrd said...

ATLANTA'S "BUTA BUTA" is taking "1" of her many naps----in the day room up close the windows!!---You can see the reflection of the children going by on the cam!!---She is a BEAUTY!!-----

Red said...

I'm sorry Paula, I never read that. If thats the problem then I understand. Sorry.

MITS said...

RED, they can only work on it if they have spare time, this cam is like a volunteer thing for them

paula eagleholic said...

I'm sure Steve and John accept your apology!

Lolly said...

Again the BIG storm missed us and it was headed right at us! Big red and purple area on the radar. No wind....just slow rain. Hope it continues!

Dana, want to that you for the facials. Showed Jack my picture...I think he liked it!

normabyrd said...

Call me "DUM" "DUM"!---I didn't know our nest had been damaged!!---When did that happen!---I thought I had scanned yesterday's blog!!---Need to go back!!! --- NOW!

Lolly said...

Left out "n". Make that Thank you!

MITS said...

I can only say,"IT IS WHAT IT IS"

Red said...

OK. I'm sorry I'm so impatient. I just didn't understand the situation. Now I know. Thanks for putting up with me.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mits, who is who on the panda cam?

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning & it is another beautiful morning
I have been lurking for awhile-BAD ME

DEB Thanks so much for the Woodsie Escape slideshow! Held my breath on the last one getting out.. Like so many times in my life I have gone up the wrong wall first!
Norma - Glo should be fine! When she was on Tues am she advised us of her 16 hr work schedule with an overnite - and then she gets to pack it up and fly to AZ to see her beautiful Elia! There is a video of that little granddaughter on her FTLOE site! I think that Glo may find it very hard to come home!

Mema Jo said...

Someone help me out--
Are there 2 in our nest?

wvgal_dana said...

I think 2 Jo and Good Morning ( :

Wow Lolly you used just the right amount of the "Eagle Facial mixture"....You sure is pre-t-t-y ( :

MITS said...

yes there are, Jo

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Tiny and Middy

MITS said...

checking for you Sharon

Lolly said...

Why, thank you, Dana!!

Jo, you asked last night if was really me. Well, this really is a picture of me!! :)

MITS said...

Mei on cam 1

Costume Lady said...

I have been thinking, don't we get any credit for all those hits on this web site? I think a lot of Unique People out there like to look in on our fun and crazy comments. We must sound like a Soap Opera to our Lurkers.

normabyrd said...

PLEASE tell me when the damage to our nest happened!!!----I still haven't found it on the blog!!!---Was it yesterday or the day before????

MITS said...

Tai on cam 2

MITS said...

Norma it was several weeks ago. When Megan storm hit

Mema Jo said...

EE Sissy - praying for your family and your hubby's mom to find peace.

This evening at 5 is the actual funeral service in GA for Sgt McCoy.
I can't thank you all enough for remembering Steve and his family during these past months. My daughter, Susan, flew down to attend the service for Ryan's dearest friend of the past 4 years. Ryan spoke at Steve's memorial service in Baghdad this Monday. I read the rough draft of his speech & it was written from his heart. Thanks again for prayers of today as they lay him to rest. ((hugs))

deb said...

Norma, we think the storm affected the cable to the cam, but that is just a guess until they can get to it and check it out.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

From Steve --

The storms caused more tree damage than we first thought, and we'll have to get a tree service in to cut some limbs to provide a better line of sight for the microwave. This could take time, but we're not ready to shut it off yet.

I don't think our tree was damaged, just the trees in the line of the microwave whatever.

deb said...

Prayers are with his family and friends today, Jo, and with Sissy's family.

MITS said...

THANK YOU , SHARON:)

Mema Jo said...

Wanda We need to give ourself lots of credit for our BLOG!
We need a 'reality' name for all of us!
Most blogs close down after a season ends but we keep ours up & moving all year long!

deb said...

All 3 in our nest!!

Mema Jo said...

ALL 3 IN OUR NEST

Costume Lady said...

Jo, I am so glad we keep this blog going. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have my friends to chat with. It would be like a day without sunshine. When the sun doesn't shine, our friendships make up for it.

deb said...

Down to one!

Red said...

I'm surprised more of you do not use Glo's chat room. Seems to me it is lots simpler to use and it's real time.

normabyrd said...

I thought they had trimmed the tree, when that happened, etc.----Sorry---I am not always with the program!!---ho!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

WE ARE THE ENERGIZER BLOGGERS - WE KEEP GOING AND GOING AND GOING!

floralgirl said...

No... we will never abandon this blog or nest.. we are loyal.. another absolutely beautiful day here:) good day for those eagles to soar the skies.

deb said...

We have everything we want right here, good friends and good conversations, a lot of laughs!

Mema Jo said...

To Blog or to Chat ??
I can say good things concerning both means of communication.

I do find that blogs/forums are most informative about the cams we watch and the every day happenings to which you can easily refer.
It also helps you to get to know the people blogging and new persons are always coming on and giving us fresh thoughts! Chat rooms do keep us connected to those we know & should we ever lose our blog I guess we will just create a new one in order to record all that we see!

floralgirl said...

Well, I like it here amd Steve has been kind enought to let us hijack his blog and there is a wealth of information to be gotten here about the nest and many other cams.. and yes, our daily trials and tribulations.. what a great read, and what a great group of people it has brought together. So I ain't going anywhere, except right now I'm going back outside, where delphiniums, pumpkins, zinnias, and lisianthus and much more awaits me.. later:)

Red said...

I think I just got flogged for even suggesting it. lol

floralgirl said...

Just watch out for those eagle canes...lol......

wvgal_dana said...

Red you got it with a "wet noodle" lol

Prayers for those needing them and Gods be the leader.

Red said...

Yes I have seen one. They could be dangerous. :)

paula eagleholic said...

Chat rooms - once you close the box, it's all gone!

Mema Jo said...

Paula just said it Red - once you close - it's a goner! And it is great to have you Blog with us. At least you didn't get the CANE - lol

wvgal_dana said...

Oh no no you don't want thee cane eeekkk!! lol

You might get an "eaglet facial" lmbo

Red said...

I'm not trying to start trouble JO. Just don't know when to shut up sometimes. I can see advantages to both blogs and chat rooms.

deb said...

I can't get in the heron cam today. One of these days the heronettes are going to fly away instead of climb up the tree.

Lolly said...

Deb, I could not get into the heron cam last night.???????

deb said...

I was on last night, Lolly, empty nest, then first one came down out of the tree, then came another. I didn't wait to see if the third one was up there, too.

glo said...

OK here I am checking in quickly LOL.

I did work my 16 hour shift. I slept some yesterday and up for Staff meeting first thing this am.

Elia will celebrate her third birthday on June 21. I will be there on June 23 and she and I will celebrate again :).

Mississippi crested in my area on Tues night. Where I live is uphill 22 blocks so yes I am fine. Lots of folks aren't so fine but lots of help comng in. Rick Island County IL is one of the disater counties so the farmers and others will be eligible for more help that way too.

I work Sunday and am off for AZ on Monday.

Right now I am off to fix a Bad Hair Day LOL.

Have a good day everyone.

Sorry to hear about storm damage at the nest and right after we got those limbs trimmed. One thing after another it seems.

Lolly said...

It is so funny to watch them come down. Wish we had a shot of the tree.

deb said...

Juvie in OK!

deb said...

Have a wonderful time visiting Elia if we don't see you again, Glo. The flooding is horrible. There are drop off places all over here, to get needed supplies to Iowa. Guard members are also there helping out.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks for checking in Glo! Loved the video of Elia - she is a little chatterbox! We know you are busy with work, weather conditions and getting ready for AZ.
So have a great time in AZ - and do
come back to us! lol ((hugs))

wvgal_dana said...

Glo I don't have to tell you to enjoy yourself with Elia....sounds from the video she has a new home to show you around in.....awwww such a cutie HAVE A GREAT TIME !!

wvgal_dana said...

I couldn't get heron cam yesterday either...

wvgal_dana said...

I sent around a video in the email. Hopefully if someone that gets it sees I missed someone please send it on to them. I sure felt a smile come over me when I watched it. ty enjoy

Mema Jo said...

Going to break for a while... Lunch & some other things to do.......

MT NEST

BBL

deb said...

I am off, too. BBLT

wvgal_dana said...

Well going to try sending it through the eaglet_momster group see if it comes through. Norma glad you got your ( : it is a smiling video lol

Mema Jo said...

Dana - any chance you can capture the url for just the video of the ducklings?

Mema Jo said...

MITS: Are you packing up the car or have you already HIT THE ROAD?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Our nest is MT. Watching NZ pandas and don't have a clue who is who? Also don't know who they are showing at Zoo Atlanta but pretty sure they are too big to be Buta.

Lolly said...

Sharon, you get a facial!!!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Lolly, only because I love you so much, am I going to pass this one to you! :)

Lolly said...

But Sharon, I have already had two. And, did you check out my picture and see what it did for me?

Lolly said...

Only three tenths of an inch of rain. Out to mow! BBL

NatureNut said...

Happy PM Eagle Fans---catching up on comments,been outside watching wren house--something flew over that I've never seen here--maybe an oriole--have to look it up.
Last night and today was scouring Maine Forum-"Updates on NBG Eaglet" and Dr. Dave has not published his med. update yet, but caregivers said as of TU, Buddy?Poink weighed 6.9 lbs!!!!! He is eating and swallowing on his own if they place food on the non-pox side of his beak.They've also ordered him a larger cage so he can perch and strengthen leg muscles. If you go there--neat info on page 22 & 23.

ceil said...

Hi everyone,
Missed the wood ducks this morning slept in. Unusual for me. Went to the Oriole game last night and did not get home until passed my bedtime. It was mentioned on the other page by Loretta that after watching the helmut video that Steffi said that K77 was found dead. Such a same but as she said only 50% make it. Don't want to think about that. Ours are flying high.

MITS said...

RED chat room been there, done that, didn't like it....not relaxing at all, like the blog is, the chat room has been advertised numerous times on our blog, so if people want to go to it they know where it is.....Most of us have either been readers or participants of this blog since the beginning and I think most of us like to read and post here. I'm just not a fan of chats rooms

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY.

I've actually been up several hours, but I got sidetracked with other things.

Great slide show of the Wood Duck chicks, Deb.

I see the live feed is working, but there's still a lot of interference on both feeds.

Hope you are all having a fun time....

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

MITS said...

I didn't like the Norfolk chat room, very annoying with people coming and going....but some people like to see themselves talk..jmho

MITS said...

Jo, I decided to go to beach tomorrow, had some things to do today, and laundry and packing to do.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mits, who is on the outside cam at NZ? I am thinking it is Tai but don't know for sure.

MITS said...

checking pandas.....they keep moving them around from yard to yard, just to confuse us

MITS said...

Mei on Cam 1, ignoring Tai on cam 2, getting ready to bring them inside soon

MITS said...

Mei just came inside

NatureNut said...

Ceil, It wasn't me, if that's who ou were talking about, but went back to IWS helmut cam page and saw that Steffi did post that info about K77, last year's bird. So sad, but part of nature I guess.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

How do you know which is cam 1 and which is cam 2?

MITS said...

up at the top of the cam, one says panda cam, (that is #1), and the other one says panda cam 2

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

DUH, SEE IT AT THE TOP NOW!

MITS said...

lmbo........Sharon, knew you would say that once you saw it

ceil said...

Helen how come they do not keep the pandas out as long as they used to. Sorry Loretta it must have been Lynn got my L's mixed up.

MITS said...

SO THAT THE KEEPERS CAN BE ON TIME FOR THE END OF THEIR SHIFT,and not have to be paid overtime, like before Tai was trained and they spent numerous hours waiting for him to come in

MITS said...

they are ready to come in anyhow:)

ceil said...

It was great for us to watch Tai not come down from the tree but not for the keepers. They were patient with him. Many cold nights trying to get him to come down.

MITS said...

he was a bad panda cub:), but he loved it

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

It was so funny watching them try to come up with ways to coax him down! They could gather no panda before its time!

MITS said...

and they tried everything , it took awhile but with a lot of patience he was trained

MITS said...

BBL

MITS said...

juvies in OKIE nest:)

MITS said...

juvies at BWE

ceil said...

Your right Sharon. I wish he had not been trained loved to watch him up the tree not coming down. Laughed so hard.

What is in OUR NEST

Mema Jo said...

Now that the cam cleared up a little

An Adult and a Juvie

Mema Jo said...

W W Cams

You can see the little baby bluebird - has good many feathers...

NatureNut said...

I had read about Tai back in '06 when he was a big baby and not eating regular food yet. They couldn't lure him down from the tree w/bamboo or any other regular food--so lots of overtime! Little stinker.

BTW, my new bird eighting was a Baltimore Oriole. Went into neighbor's mulberry.

Mema Jo said...

Our adult flew off POOF!

Lolly said...

Looks really stormy at the Scottish cam. Momma is covering her baby like a good momma!

Mema Jo said...

Hope our juvie is getting filled -
One less hungry juvie to wonder about.

NatureNut said...

Juvie in nest munching away.
Parents at our wren house were so slow w/food today, one almost came all the way out to go shopping for the gang himself!!! I expect that one may fledge in AM. Got lots of pics to sort thru.

Mema Jo said...

Juvie lying down resting now.

Mema Jo said...

Weather is great again today...
Full Moon, 99% of the Moon is Illuminated today

I thought Megan and Magpie mention that it was last night.... well, it was really bright even if it was a day early.

Mema Jo said...

BBL this evening... Watch our nest!

glo said...

argh

ceil said...

Juvie just backed up and did a poop shot.

ceil said...

Juvie lightened the load and left.

ceil said...

Forgot to say. BBL

MITS said...

juvie was hunkered over like a big turtle shell a little while ago....forgot to snap pic:(

paula eagleholic said...

Live feed is up!

paula eagleholic said...

Gotta head home to mow...catch ya'll later...

MITS said...

EAGLES OUR NEST

MITS said...

NEW JUNE 19TH UPDATE ON THE PANDA PAGE AT NATIONAL ZOO

ceil said...

Just looked in on the site that Steve gave and one of the San Jose falcons crashed into the City Hall building and died.

MITS said...

OH NO......too bad, such a scary time for all young birds......loved that site Steven gave us

ceil said...

They explain on the panda cam how to tell between Tai and Tian a little.

MITS said...

SAN JOSE FALCON STORY

MITS said...

I saw that, Ceil, should be a little help, but if the panda curator, Lisa Stevens has trouble watching the cams, and trying t tell them apart, then I don't feel so bad

MITS said...

Our juvies seem to be enjoying a nice visit together

ceil said...

Wish a third one would show up

MITS said...

yep, that is what I am waiting for

MITS said...

2 adults 1 juvie at OK nest

ceil said...

Parent in nest eating whatever that is in the middle of the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

It's Lib in the nest with ??

paula eagleholic said...

with one juvie, just don't know which one...

ceil said...

I'm off to watch the Oriole game.

MITS said...

Go O's:)

paula eagleholic said...

Might be Middy or Pearl...really don't think it's Tiny

MITS said...

woo, Nelly, did you see that....Lib took off in a flash when other juvie flew in

paula eagleholic said...

Probably cause he was empty Taloned!

paula eagleholic said...

Juvie that cam in, laying in nest. Other one standing at 11

paula eagleholic said...

That Middy laying down and Pearl standing

paula eagleholic said...

Awww, they are laying next to each other, facing 1 and 2 on the nest

paula eagleholic said...

Guess they are all tuckered out from their daily lessons!

Mema Jo said...

Blogger Cop just ate my very nice comment!

I was looking at the one eaglet moving over as though he had the other one's special spot. Then he/she moved a stick or two and laid down beside the other.

As Paula just said AWWWWWWWW !

paula eagleholic said...

I had them ID'd wrong...Lib left when Pearl arrived! Pearl at 2, Middy at 1

Costume Lady said...

Now that is really Brotherly Love. Makes me smile!

paula eagleholic said...

Awww, Pearl was beaking with Middy, now looks like was grooming her neck feathers

MITS said...

yes, it does make you :):):):)

Costume Lady said...

Gene had an interesting question: do the juvies learn to catch fish, etc. from instinct, or do the parents teach them?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Wanda, I think the parents teach them but I am sure part of it is instinct.

paula eagleholic said...

They learn by watching others and from instinct. During their first year though, they will mainly feed on carrion, or dead prey.

paula eagleholic said...

Hate to leave, but have to do the backyard....and throw a couple of balls for some pesty dogs :):)

BBL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

It really did look like one was preening the other! It was so cute! I love these babies! Sure do wish Baby Littley would come and join them!

MITS said...

they have little school desks down by the Potomac River, and the parents fly by and catch the fish:), to show them how it is done:)

MITS said...

off to fix dinner...bbl

Costume Lady said...

HELEN...ROFLMBO!

Costume Lady said...

Helen, there is a road about 3 miles from us and it is actually called "Eagle School Road", now we know why it is called that!

Mema Jo said...

Pearl is so sprawled out with her wings that she could be mistaken for a 'double eagle' if I could see another head!!

magpie said...

COSTUME LADY: That is a good one !
I never really appreciated the name of the road until just now!

MITS - You post about the little school desks down by the Potomac, Rich!

magpie said...

GOOD EVENING EAGLE PEOPLE.
Been reading and catching up, checking MITS'S forwards in yahoo of Woodies, Thanks! and DEB's Slideshow...wow, it was quick as a whistle wasn't it!

Once again, The "EYES" have it, all the news that's fit to print!

Sad little tale about Cielo in San Jose Falcon Family...

Good to see everyone had an exciting day. And nice to see some Eagle Action in the nest the last hour or so.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And my mind immediately pictured 3 eaglets sitting at school desks watching with great awe how their parents are catching fish, leaning over to one another "wow, one day, we will get to do that too!!" But in the meantime, - HEY, MA AND PA, WHERE IS OUR SUPPER?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mits, that was just too good!

magpie said...

Regarding the moon..It was 100% full Wednesday around 1:30 pm Eastern time, now it wanes, which is why it will be 99% or so tonight, but we'll hardly notice, except it will "rise" a little later. The brightest "yellow" object closest to it tonight is Jupiter, wonderful planet.

Lolly said...

Wow! Such a clear picture on the cam. Don't know what to think of that. Hope I didn't jinx it by saying that.

Mowed the yard, did the edging, and then used the leaf blower. I was exhausted. Slept for over an hour now I feel groggy. I may look like a million dollars after the facials (LOL)but, boy!, where is my stamina!!!!

MITS said...

and as Paul Harvey would say, "now we know the rest of the story"...GOOD DAY....
