GOOD MORNING SHARON...
Don't they look cute, lying there side by side? So peaceful.

ceil said...

Good morning Deb and Sharon, Need a third one in the nest to make my day. Little down in the dumps was suppose to leave on our trip today. Thinking of all the people affected by the flooding. We are lucky we did not start last week. Busy day a head will talk back later. Have a great one.

MITS said...

normabyrd said...

SCOTTISH MOM is calling---DAD--I guess----The little one is growing fast!!---He doesn't have to share!!!!!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning & a beautiful morning it is
I'm counting those little hooters!
They aren't so little anymore! I am thinking that one is Dad and one is Mom - I have 6 on the screen now.
Makes me happy when I see one of our juvies in our messy nest! Can't get over all those turtle shells in CO.

MITS said...

I wish that was live feed from the hooters cam, just to watch them run around

magpie said...

Bye Bye Baby, Happy Flying.

magpie said...

Ceil: You got your tea?

Well, here is a little joke to try to cheer you up. It is an original from my Mother:

Can a Walnut Climb a Wall?

No, but a Pecan. (Pee-Can, get it?)

It might be corny, but hope it puts a smile on your face. xoxo

normabyrd said...

HELEN---Last year I was watching some of the older OWL clips---They are so FUNNY---Would come straight up to cam--stop & then turn their head all around!!---

Mema Jo said...

Happy Father's Day Liberty -
Our Number ONE Eagle Dad


To all fathers everywhere - know that you are loved..

magpie said...

I think today is boating day at Over the Water Finland...

MITS said...

I remember that Norma, they are so funny when they run around.....speaking of funny......lol, good one Magpie:):)

Mema Jo said...

I count 7 now - I too wish it were live feed on the hooters! Norma, I've watched those clips and they stole my heart away!

magpie said...

And a Special Greeting to our Heavenly Father, who put all these nature things in place for us.
God Bless Us, Everyone.
xo

MITS said...

those eaglets at LW are getting some size on them!!!

normabyrd said...

MAGPIE---You made me smile!---I hadn't heard either one of those!!!----

MITS said...

and a big...."AMEN" to that Magpie.

magpie said...

Love you too, Norma. Had a post on the last of Saturdays..."waiting for you."

The storms hit you hard yesterday? We get endless weather teletypes at work and it looked like your area, Mineral Hardy Hampshire and such was in the Hot Zone.

normabyrd said...

JO--I am sure you are the person that gave me the owl site last year!!!

magpie said...

I think Baby at Barton Cove is eating a snake or a very large slug!

http://www.neenergyinc.com/eagles/default.asp

click to Live Cam, and then click again in Live cam...5 mins viewing at a time.

normabyrd said...

MAGPIE!!---We had a relay for life party yesterday evening!---some rain--not much!!

magpie said...

Bless your heart, Norma, that is a blessed way to share of your time and talents. I bet you were the prettiest one there! xoxo

ceil said...

Got my tea and went to the store Magpie. Thanks for the joke. You are a good person. Morning Norma. We are hoping to go in a few weeks. Feel for the people who have been affected by the flooding. Morning Jo. Hey Vicky didn't see you there. How are you doing? Glad you are going to be with family today Lolly. Get those water baloons ready. Have to go into work to fix something. Will be back later.

magpie said...

RE: Barton's Cove, make that click on live cam, then, click on the words "eagle cam" with the video camera icon to the left of it. Something brown and furry in that nest too. Maybe the snake is an eel...either way, some breakfast!

magpie said...

Just watched a heron hop up to a higher branch...up to the right.
What a leafy cam!

normabyrd said...

MAGPIE---I'll try again!!

Mema Jo said...

Here's hoping it is a quick-fix, Ceil!
Norma, we have enjoyed these little hooters and also the little otters.
But most of all Buta Buta and Tai as they was growing up! Lots of memories! Best of all we enjoy the
Friendships!

I need another joke Magpie!!! lol

normabyrd said...

MAGPIE----I see what you are talking about---doesn't it have a white ring in the middle!!---If that's a snake--HE'S DEAD!---But it is soft looking!!

p.s.---JO needs a joke!

magpie said...

CEIL: Thanks for the compliment:

Honestly: It's the [Eagle] Company I keep that does it!

Get Back Soon!

magpie said...

MEMA JO: It's not exactly a joke but a "quip."

Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Love ya'- - ALL !!!!

XOXO

glo said...

And a Special Greeting to our Heavenly Father, who put all these nature things in place for us.
God Bless Us, Everyone.


I am at work but I will add an AMEN to this statement by Magpie too.

Also Happy Fathers Day to the Feathered Dads and the and Friends of the Feathered Dads/

ceil said...

Just prayers for those poor people.Jo. My husband said there was an elderly man on yesterday and they were trying to get him to evacuate. He would not go until the police got there. He asked if he could take his cat and they said yes. So he went. I am off to find a few jokes. Had a few cute ones and lost them. You are right Jo such great people on here. BBL

MITS said...

juvie at BWE and osprey at BWO

ceil said...

Mits, I goofed this morning. I thought it was a juvie at BWO. I was an osprey but had his back to me and looked like a juvie. Does anyone remember if it was Lib a few years ago who brought an eel into the nest?

magpie said...

CEIL - I don't know if it was Lib or Belle, but those in the know think one parent brought at least one in this year...I'll check back, think I can get the date on that one from the BLOG.

You really don't want to leave the computer to go to work, do you?

Smiles. xoxo

magpie said...

CEIL - It was April 3 of this year, didn't look yet for back in 2006 - it was a "long skinny thing" that might have been either a lamprey eel, or a regular eel, which we would have in the Potomac, or a snake - which everyone has everywhere !!

magpie said...

How are you doin', Double E-S - How's Sissy doing?

Mema Jo said...

Magpie - I loved the quip! lol

movin said...

A GOOD SUNDAY MORNING TO EVERYONE IN EAGLE LAND..

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

IrisF said...

HAPPY FATHER's DAY to our Heavenly Father and to all the earthbound Fathers - be they feathered, furred or of human kind! Thank the Lord for them all! Oh yes, and Anne-Marie too!

Good morning everyone, Magpie, that was a really cute joke!!!

Time for a cup of tea here and a little more catch-up.

What a great group of people!

IrisF said...

My still cam seems to be stuck, anyone else having a problem?

movin said...

Male O. just brought big fish to nest in Finland, and Femole O. is now feeding the two new chicks.

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

IrisF said...

False alarm...as Suz would say, it just took a couple of cycles for it to refresh!!! DUH!

MITS said...

YES, IRIS, the 30 second cam is more like the 3 minute cam:(

magpie said...

Man oh Man - Barton Cove baby close to the bottom right edge of that nest. Hope the pesky black intruders don't push him off..have a feeling the parent/s are standing guard just out of view, So IT WON'T HAPPEN !!

MOVIN - Nice thing Finny Father Osprey did for his family on Father's Day - hope they give him some Osprey Kisses AND Hugs.

MITS: What, Again? With the weather? I think I am getting tagged for a shift this afternoon anyway with someone off sick...Woof!

normabyrd said...

I just checked OREGON NEST!!---I see SNOW in the nest!!!!!

ceil said...

I'm back already Magpie. Just had to stop in and do something. Here is a riddle. Some months have 31 days and some have 30 days. How many have 28 days?

Costume Lady said...

Ceil, you just woke up my brain with that one: ALL OF THEM

Costume Lady said...

MARGY...LMBO at the Laxative and sleeping pill quip!

ceil said...

Your right Wanda. When I saw it I was hmm how many? Duh.

ceil said...

That was a good one sleeping pill and laxative not at the same time.

Costume Lady said...

Margy, I don't know about Lib bringing an eel to the nest, but last year Osprey Parent brought an eel to the Finny nest. (Think it was an eel)

magpie said...

COSTSUME LADY - you are quick!

Riddles like that do keep our minds fresh!

CEIL and MITS: Just got that call to report for work at 3 pm and stay til 8 - oh well, it could be worse...and I am grateful to have a secure job...Unfortunately, the need for 911 is not going to go away anytime soon!

With that said, I guess I better get some chores done. Happy Afternoon, ALL. Keep your eyes out for Eagle Babies for me...

xoxo

magpie said...

Barton Cove baby working on all the leftovers...back to the fur and the long skinny thing....
Now, after a quick look at our empty nest and that, off to chores...

ceil said...

Wanda, cannot keep my nest straight. My dad used to bring eels, turtle (snapping) and put them in the bathtub.

ceil said...

Hope it is a quiet day for you Magpie.

NatureNut said...

Adult in nest!!

Hello Everyone and Happy Father's to all Dad's--2-footed and 4-footed and Anne Marie!!! ;>)

NatureNut said...

An eaglet there now, too--mantling. Must be food!!

Costume Lady said...

ANNE-MARIE...I hope you are wearing THE RED DRESS today; after all it is YOUR special day.

MITS said...

tee-hee, thought there was only one, but my brain is not working today....Ceil

MITS said...

Loretta, how do you take pics at Finne'y Finland nes? I can't seem to do it, and Suzanne loves that nest.

magpie said...

BABY - OUR NEST !!!!!!!

Costume Lady said...

Helen, I was able to take photos last year, but tried a few days ago and it turned out black.

Costume Lady said...

I use to take photos of the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. No more.

NatureNut said...

Just checked Barton's Cove---they're working on the giant hot dog!

magpie said...

Yes, Barton's Cove, Can't get enough fast enough!
(You can see I'm getting a lot of chores done...)

NatureNut said...

Helen, Since it's not a Live cam,you can just right click & Save. I haven't got any of the 2 chicks yet, but I can send some to Suz.

magpie said...

NATURE NUT: Have you seen the blackbirds at BC flying over the nest, esp when parent is there?
I saw a lot of that earlier this morning...what brave aggressive birds... Can someone remind what they are?
Thanks.

magpie said...

Excuse me Mother Barton, while I do a little poop shoot... I just had to make a little more room,

MITS said...

thanks, Loretta, I have tried that, but for some reason , can't find them when I save them, it was much easier last year when they had the "send as e-mail", don't know why they changed it?

NatureNut said...

Helen, as I recall, when you right click, the Save As says "Background" not. Maybe your PC is not accepting them.I can post mine---I haven't cropped them, but some should be enlarged to see detail.

MITS said...

that's what it says and it then puts it up as my desktop screensaver, which I don't want.

MITS said...

NY chimney swift in its nest, to me it looks like 2 eggs now

MITS said...

juvie still in out nest.

NatureNut said...

I'm baaaack. Put my 4 Finney pics on this blog. I'll some to Suz.

I need to get a 2 chick one.

NatureNut said...

...send..DUH

NatureNut said...

Magpie, I haven't looked at Barton's Cove that much. Someone on the Delta nest in Brit. Col. said theirs were Brewer Blackbirds.

BBL--got lots of stuff to do

MITS said...

good pics, Loretta

magpie said...

NATURE NET: I remember that now...thanks. The birds at BC definitely seem to have some white in their wings, maybe underneath. Well, off to work, no more time for research now...couldn't get out to look for Tanagers today, Drat!
Bye-Bye all, Safe Day to You.
xo

NatureNut said...

Helen, I cropped a couple so they'll be more visible as em pics.

Some of the beautiful, large Live cams, such as black storks have forced me to take pictures of the 'puter screen!!! I was happy to see that both the white storks are doing OK. I was a little worried about the smaller one--seemed droopy.

MITS said...

off to celebrate Fathers' day....later....hope RP comes up soon.

NatureNut said...

Posted the B.C. Delta cartoon I found on their Discussions. :>)))

ceil said...

Funny cartoon, Loretta.

Video from our visit to the Nest!

NCTC Visit June 7, 2008

deb said...

Paula, that was great!! After watching it, I am really sad that I couldn't come to the visit.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good evening all. I am in Bedford. Just took Mattie and Justin to the lake and they swam. Something happened with the boat today so that was out. Stopped in Roanoke to visit my friend Charlie and now I am at Thelma's.

glo said...

Great video Paula it will be a priceless memory especially for those who were there.

also Thank you for the kind email I found when I got home from work today.

paula eagleholic said...

(((((((Hugs))))))

for Glo

deb said...

Eaglet in our nest!!!1

deb said...

EAGLET ALERT!!

deb said...

GONE!

ceil said...

Thanks Paula. Great video.

MITS said...

loved the video, Paula

MITS said...

glad you made it to Thelma's sharon, good luck tomorrow

hedgie said...

Great video, Paula. You are so talented!
Hope everyone had a pleasant Father's Day.

MITS said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!!

NatureNut said...

Paula, your trip video is GREAT!!! Thx so much for showing us--esp. to the MIAs!!

Re: TX wood ducks---they have not hatched yet, I misunderstood their note about when the mom stays in the box w/out a break, they are ready to hatch. That evidently had not happened--was just a tip. DUH

Put a PRP eagle nest pic on blog!

NatureNut said...

PS: I have the black stork cam on & awhile ago, a cuckoo sang!!! I realized it was NOT our clock in the living room!
The 3 youngsters are not all white anymore---getting neat black patches.

Mema Jo said...

Video of our nest visit says it all as far as how great the entire day was. Thanks Paula.
Lisa on BWO site has Kentucky Osprey nest video - go take a look!

I hope everyone has had a pleasant day -
Good Night everyone
Prayers for all our needs

floralgirl said...

Nice video Paula:) Good luck tomorrow Eagle eye:)

ceil said...

Lisa at BWE has Bob Quinn's pictures.
I missed his last set on here. These may be those. Still worth looking at again. Closing down for the night. Pleasant dreams everyone. Good luck tomorrow Sharon. Prayers go with you.

magpie said...

Wow, gettin' home and gettin' on late.
Great Video, PAULA - You are a woman of many talents!
Just checked ISW Santa Cruz Peregrines, one was on the ledge, another closer to the next box, second one flew up to ledge, and first one took a hike! So now a bird is eating on the ledge, can't tell if adult or chick.
Finney's looks nice, and Over the Water Finland is beautiful, but I wonder, will we ever have chicks there and what happened there if not?
Well, Good Night to All, Hope it was a Great Day, and Safe Times for whatever your plans are for Monday...
PS: those black-chinned hummingbirds sure look packed into that little nest! I sure couldn't sleep like that!
xoxo

NatureNut said...

OMG, just read an email from our Park secretary. She said that our maintenance supervisor found one of the baby eagles Thursday--"it had fallen out of the nest"!!!???
They were GONE from the nest TU==just posted that pic awhile ago. I suspect it made a sloppy landing somewhere. Will find out Monday==I'm working.

paula eagleholic said...

Evening, all.

I am not at all pleased with the video quality on youtube of the nest visit...so I have figured it out....should be available tomorrow...really good quality!

Nite all!

NatureNut said...

Good Night Everyone.....

magpie said...

Wow Paula, I liked what you had so I can't wait 'til Monday to see the revision.

On heron cam, sometime scroll down the page to "old Clips," some nice videos. Especially entertaining is the one entitled "Four Fledglings about Ready to Leave the Nest. " Looks like a free-for-all.

http://wdfw.wa.gov/wildwatch/heroncam/index.html

NATURE NUT, awaiting your updates on the fallen eaglet.

Good Night again, all.
Peace, Love, and Laughter. Wellness, comfort, and safety.

deb said...

Good night, everyone.

Sharon, good luck tomorrow!

I hope the eaglet is ok. Can't wait to see the video again, Paula.

Costume Lady said...

I have been MIA most of today...spent a good part of the day with my Mom. She is doing really well. Hasn't had a pain pill for two days! Holding my breath...
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS

Lolly said...

Hi All.....thought most of you are gone for the nite. Just returned from Michael's in Dallas. We had a great day. Love to watch the three boys play together.

PAULA......I loved the video. Great job! So neat to see Tiny jumping and flapping like that!

NATURE......when we were in Italy last, we would sit on our balcony and listen to cuckoo's. It was so neat. I got it with our video camera.

AND BEST OF ALL....I HAVE FELT GREAT ALL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nite everyone...sweet dreams.

IrisF said...

Night night everyone... and Prayers for all in need... which is all of us!!!

Paula, I loved the video and can't wait to see the "improvement" you really are talented lady and you must have a lot of energy to do so much and work too!!!

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE...

The 30 sec cam is fairly clear this evening, but unfortunately, I do not see a single eaglet in the nest.

[:~D]

Have a good week.

Jim

ceil said...

Good morning everyone. Juvie in our nest.
