I always thought Jody was a guy!
LOL...noooo, Jody is definitely a gal! You can see her and me in the picture on the Education page of our group website, which is www.fallenfeathers.org

Hi Carol! Enjoy those Kestrels - they really are beautiful birds.
Did you know that the American Kestrel is the smallest North American falcon? Tiny buggers :)
Mema, we get a LOT of kestrels into our care, especially this year and last year. There is a disease called 'canker', which is like a yeast infection but it invades the respiratory system, and it seems every kestrel has it. We can treat it, if it's not too thoroughly spread, but there are many we cannot save :( It's bad with doves this year, too.

What happened to Chrissy and Frank?? I missed that, apparently...
OH!! 12 o'clock, I see an eaglet with relaxed wings...preparation, perhaps???
NO KIDDIN!---I had to look--SNOW IN OREGON NEST & appears to be snowing some now!
dam cam!!!
I wish they wouldn't hide under the camera like that!
Lolly - Thanks for Chrissy's update.
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE...
It's a pretty cloudy 63° in So Cal, but the Weather Bureau has scheduled sun and 75° for this P.M.
I see our Little Bit is still in the nest ... which I can see (not hear) by means of the live feed.
How's the world going for you all this morn??
C(°ﮡ°)D
Jim
I think I see one wing feather
under the cam
Crazy shadow over the nest.....
It's supposed to be 107 and windy here today, low of 77 LOL
well i have things i need to do today, so i'll go...but leaving RP on and recording just in case!!
would someone please email me and tell me what's going on with Chrissy and Frank?? thanks!
Still hiding...out to lunch...BBL
Are you serious. I have been out riding with Dexter this morning. I thought I came home to an empty nest. Is he really still there hiding. are you sure?
Going to take a break
I sure hope our last eaglet to fledge comes out of hiding from under the cam! Really makes it look like an
MT nest! lol
WOW I see Tiny !!!!
Did he, or didn't he?? Guess I can see some tail under the cam...
Check out the "Giant Panda Blog" on the "News" page at San Diego ... new update, and they've added a more recent picture to the slide show.
C(°ﮡ°)D
Jim
Seems as though whenever Tiny is visible and up & hopping around then the cam goes crazy.
Well, he is on the launch pad now.
Or should I say Again.
Tiny is making me nervous...
Little Bird is looking stronger and more coordinated ... flying and walking ... He could go today yet.
Does anyone know when his "12-week milestone" was??
C(°ﮡ°)D
Jim
There's a big world out there Tiny!
You can do it!
I'm not sure, Jim, but Jo knows...I think it was Sunday.
What a day! Between the cam, not being able to get on the blog and Tiny teasing us, it's been frustrating!!
One good thing has happened, tho'--my box turtle has reappeared...fourth year in a row! Would you believe that they eat dog poop???? LOL!
I need one of those turtles! Video of Larry from the loon cam and the OR eagle in the snow are posted. I am off to do some errands. BBL
Jim,
The sycamore is so sparsely leafed that I think under the cam area is the only place Tiny can get shade!!!
Yes, Lynn and they also it tomatoes and lettuce. They don't stay around here very long. We take them for a ride and give them another home, far away gardens.
Lib didn't stay very long. Think he brought lunch.
Well , I guess not. Tiny is mad.
He's going into hiding.
Parent in thought there was a food drop but don't see any food...Maybe tiny scurried it over withhim to the trunk area
lol Well Lynn - I guess you can learn something new any day of the
week!
Cqme in and gasped!! Thought the nest was empty! Can barely see Tiny.
Jo, did you email T-bird to answer her question about Chrissy?
Whoops! That was Bird Girl that was asking.
Jim 3rd egg hatched on 3/17
St Patrick's day
So 6/9 marks the 12 weeks...
Yes Lolly I copied Anne's message from the Momster emails and sent to Delphia.
If I had sound I would put a bell on that bird just to know it's location.
Between the cam messing up
and taking short breaks away from the pc - I just can't even find the tail feathers at times......
I see nothing right now!
Hey Lynn, can you send your box turtle over to my yard? :)
You may have to head back to the tree!!!
Well, Spunky went several days over the 12-week limit too, while they 'fed him up,' and he acquired some more adult aggression, etc.
Having two oversized chow hogs in front of you can really stunt your growth.
It might be cooler in flight or under the shade of a neighboring tree though.
C(°ﮡ°)D
Jim
Tiny is still hiding under the cam...
Thanks for those 2 videos Deb!
I wonder what Larry was collecting?
Guess he'll tell us in his blog - that cam should only be on for a few more days.
If I can catch a box turtle I'll airmail him to you Deb! Sounds like it would be a good poop scoop picker upper!! lol
COME OUT
COME OUT
WHEREVER YOU ARE
Yeah, Wanda, and this one loves cantaloupe and tomatoes, too! Only garden I have is tomato plants and he doesn't bother them, so he's allowed to stay! He summers under the woodpile pallets, but I have no idea where he spends the winters.
There we are....
There's wing tips!
BWO female back on the nest at least temporarily.
C(°ﮡ°)D
Jim
The turtle isn't a very fast pooper scooper...the first time I saw him do it last year he spent an hour on one "piece". I provide his vegetables and the dog gives him protein. Ha!
That was a pretty fast appearance & disappearance! I missed it completely. But then I was hollering at the blogger cop who had just eaten my comment....
I was talking about
Where is Spunky
Where is Spunky
Here I am
Here I am...............
Poop shoot and off to the other end of th enest...now back to the 6 position
Need to be out of here for an hour or so...
Keep your eyes focused in between the blurry lines.

Great Video of Bald Eagle available for viewing off Lisa's BWE Cam page update today. It might knock you off live feed for NCTC like it did mine, but it's a beauty for later viewing. Also nice updates on the BWE chicks.
..bald eagle fishing that is. Really seems to work hard once it gets that fish in its talons.
Tom said Baby Littley was like Andrew. Just got it way too good to leave. Who can blame her?$
BW LISA is closing down soon!!---The 2 EAGLETS have fledged & are now on their own!!----FINAL PAPER IS A GOOD READ---with cool video of EAGLE fishing!----Thank you LISA---Have learned so much from you!!!!---Enjoyed your postings!!!
Eaglet at noon on the nest.
Really wish she would fledge so she can go cool off down by the river...
I have to take the brat to work. BBIALW!
105°here, heat index 120°, humidity is low, but dew point is 76%, anything above 70% is considered oppressive....off to store
We are under severe thunderstorn warning, nickle sized hail, 60 mph winds. Hope it skirts around us. The bad ones usually miss us. Mountains are such wonderful things.

I am home but lightning is fierce so I am closing down. CU after the storm.
Looks like storm passed the nest by for now....dark and nasty here at present....still 97°
Eaglet enjoying the fish
Must be getting full..slowing down....oops done....it is Middy with Tiny in the nest
Pouring here now.
Lisa was talking about eagles swimming in her post. Here is a video of a bald eagle swimming in the Missouri River. I wish I knew where this was at!
Eagle Swimming
isn't that amazing, Deb.
I think for now the storm has passed. Doesn't look like it hit the nest!
That rain was coming down & blowing sideways! I don't need to water any plants this evening & it feels like the heat wave has been broken a little.
Yes, it is, Helen. I kept looking in the background to see if I could figure out where it is. The river starts in Montana and ends in St. Louis, so it could be anywhere.
eagle on KENT CAM #1
Deb - the Swimming eagle video was great - had not seen that one before - he was not going to lose that Fish!
The power of his wings, to keep swimming and keep his head above the water, and not lose that fish
There are more videos of the same nest by that man. There is one that shows the eagle flying the fish it caught to the nest.
Flapping wings at our nest
Cool video Deb. He has more.
Heading home...catch ya'll later!
PS - I miss our sound!
Hi, Happy PM!!
Saw the eagle video & another on there called "Quitting is Not an Option" is also cool - to the theme from Rocky!
I see Tiny has a dinner guest who is cleaning up.If he got to eat a little more, maybe he'd have the power to fly.
Nest at Park was MT today--one eaglet was there Saturday, but couldn't use camera--lens kept fogging!
I miss the sound, too. Kent eagle left.
There are times that sadness cannot be kept out of our lives. Just received email from my daughter.
SSG McCoy passed away today at 1357 central time at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, TX. Please
keep Taibtha and three-year old twins, Landon and Riley, in your prayers along with all the family.
Weather here is chance of severe th'storms til 10 PM.
what heartbreaking news, Jo:(
Jo, So sorry to hear that sad news.
Thoughts and prayers
Sorry to hear the sad news, Jo.
Those storms are headed towards you Loretta...... Batten down the
hatches! I hope we don't get anymore
this evening - I am waiting for
the Cold Front! LOL I can take
the high 70's or low 80's!
Going out for some dinner with hubby & son..... Glad Tiny has company again!
my RP is down
My live feed is gone!!
$#%&*@!*&#!!! LIVE FEED IS DOWN ALSO!
Dag nabbit! Waited all day to get home & be able to see Live --maybe it's windy up there & messing w/wires.
omg,did ya'll see that eagle swimming. And it had a fish. That is the wildest thing I have ever seen.
No wind, ladies and the storm passed about an hour ago.
Jo so sorry to hear about the death of SSG McCoy. Such a shame. Will keep his family and all our service people in my prayers. Great video of the swimming eagle. Did not know they could swim like that.
isn't that eagle swimming just great, Ceil?
That eagle swimming was the neatest thing. I didn't know they could do that either.
I have seen a video of an eagle swimming, but not this video
In saw that video awhile ago and was going to post it, but something must have interrupted me. Forgot all about it until I read Lisa's update.
Jo, so sorry to hear the news about SSG McCoy. Will definitely keep his family in our prayers.
We are getting some weather now. Supposed to start cooling down. Gosh I hope so but not too much. Going to the lake Friday for the weekend. Need warm weather to go out on the boat. :)
Three in the nest!
ROCKY, STARRING THE BALD EAGLE
Mits, that is what you call perseverance!!
He is a great swimmer. We are a little windy here now but no rain yet.
no rain here, but temp, went from 102° to 87° in the last 30 mins
Wow, that was fun to watch. Thanks, Helen.
the size of that fish was amazing.
sure would love to be at the nest tonight.
I got some nice cold chicken tenders, tossed salad, and deviled eggs for dinner tonight, only had to put the stove on for the eggs....no cooking or grilling in this heat.
I see three. Wonder how long that will last.
lol We may never know how long it lasts if the cam keeps acting up on us!
MITS - That's rich, the Rocky Video, thanks for posting it!!!That's a keeper, and a sender to anyone who wonders why we are so fascinated with these Birds. lol
Good links to some of the other Eagle videos too...
thunder, lightning, and dark clouds, going to shut down, and hope to get back later
Love the other swimming videos too!
I've seen videos of them swimming before, but not these.
Didn't get much rain here at home...
Still 3 eaglets in the nest!
Yes, Paula, three I see, for awhile now. I think they look a little soggy. We got pretty good rain hereabouts...
down to 2
I am off to SF and then on to Slayton, MN, for a funeral. Be back sometime Thursday. I wonder where Tiny will be when I get back??
Hope everyone gets cooler weather and comes through the storms ok.
It is raining here again, but not hard and no wind.
Just now got windy.
Yup, soon as we talk about three, one leaves. Woulda been fun to watch him fly out.
DEB, Safe travels and prayers for you. We'll Miss You.
Osprey on the Over the Finland Nest.
I can't think straight, that's over the WATER Finland nest. I have yet to see the Ferry, but I did see trains on Harrisburg cam, and saw jet plans at San Jose Falcons cam...
Hi gang, I finally got home. Now I can talk and talk. I feel like I have been gaged all day not being able to blog. 1. thanks Deb for the video of the swiming eagle. That was really something else. If you havent seen it go back to it and look at the golden eagle drag the goats off the clif. If you cant find dinner one way you learn another way. When I was a kid I saw one carry of a new lamb but never tackle anything as big as an adult goat. the golden are bigger than the bald. we used to have them in the mountains above the ranch.
thanks Lolly for you news about Chrissy. She is such a dear.
I wish you could send some of your rain here. We have fires on all sides of us and wind to boot. Its really smokey

Hi Wanda, Diana says Hi.
I give up! I wait all day and nobody home. I'm going to go and take off these pantyhose and heels and get into something human. BBL
Anne-Marie, I am here! Glad to see you on here. I just got back home myself.
Howdy Anne!
Does feel good to get those pantyhose off, doesn't it!
Does feel good to get those pantyhose off, doesn't it!
LOL, she thought we left, Sharon.
Hi, AML, I was reading email.
2 eaglets and one slingshot in the nest
I couldn't tell you the last time I wore panty hose. Probably to one of those many funerals I attended last year.
I only wear pantyhose to church. Can't wait til I get home to get them off! YUK!
AML, tell Diana that we think of her often. She is a dear.
I think Anne-Marie left us.
She'll be back after she gets comfy.
not much of a storm here, but the humidity is much higher....going to say GOODNIGHT TO ALL, long day at the zoo tomorrow, observing cams, my shift and the monthly meeting tomorrow night...prayers for SSG McCoy and his family.
I wear pantyhose everyday! Can't wait to get them off when I get home!
Just one more reason I am grateful that my work attire is whatever I slept in the night before! :)
Well, I hate that pantyhose thing for you all. I personally work in my PJs all day. Can't get much more comfortable and actually stay awake and work. Sorry bout your luck!! :)
It's a good thing I don't work at home, I'd probably wear the same thing all week!
It is easy to turn into a hermit if you're not careful for sure but I love my job.
It is still humid here, be glad to get a cool down, just not too much. That Rocky video was good, huh.
I hope everyone is comfy!
I am watching another tv movie this evening. Be back around 11:00 to say good night!
Well, I am calling it a day! All you beautiful people have sweet dreams. C ya in the mornin lite!!
Hi family, Brother in Ohio called and he got the storm last night and said it was a doozy.
I cant win tonight, oh well Heidi love me.
Thank goodness, the heatwave has broken:) dog poop eating box turtle?? who doesn't need one of those...no fledge from littley tiny I'm guessing.. live feed is not working?
I cant get live feed in either just "spead eagles" on cam
Megan do you get bitter sweet as early as October.?
Usually around November- you need a frost or two before it is ready and you can find the vines.
We dont have them here and I was just hoping.
Howdy again, Anne. And hello ^#*&head. (grins)
Nice to see 2 eaglets in the nest. Maybe tomorrow is the day for Tiny, but only when RP is back on!
I watch and read all day. I want so much to be able to blog but I cant. At least I can read until they find out I am and that will stop too. Jill said she thought I should take the back route through WV like Glo did last year and I just talked to my brother to coming with me.
Well I would send you some this year but I just don't want you to drop the berries outside caue it's not native to your area and can be invasive..
the trip to Romney was wonderful and I want to do it again
Well hello Paula:)
Megan dont you think after all these years it would have happened before now if it were do able.?
I see two eageletts zonked out. Must have been a hard day.
I see two eageletts zonked out. Must have been a hard day.
There is American bittersweet and an invasive non native form called oriental bittersweet- that is what now grows around here. The berries drop and grow, the vine grows up trees and eventually weakens or kills them. I wouldn't want to be the person rsponsible for sending it to CA-lol..
ok Megan I understand. Company, BBL
UPDATE: June 10 2008, 5pm
by Dr. Dave McRuer, Director of Veterinary Medicine at the Wildlife Center of Virginia:
As the mass on the beak is shrinking in size and the eaglet's white blood cell count was lowered into the range of "normal" for an eagle, Wildlife Center veterinarians decided to remove the antibiotics from the eaglet's treatment regime. After four days, the white blood cells were rechecked; unfortunately, there was again a significant increase in the heterophils - the cells in birds that are involved in the initial defenses against bacteria. For this reason, we believe that a secondary bacterial infection is ongoing, and we have resumed our antibiotic treatment.
The eaglet continues to thrive, although it was extremely hot this past weekend with the unseasonable heat here in Waynesboro [highs in the mid to upper 90s.] To help cool the bird, we've placed a fan near the enclosure that ensures air circulation.
The patient has also gone back to not eating on his own. If the food (mice these days) is placed in his mouth, he has no issues with swallowing. However, the bird lacks initiative to open his mouth and actually take the food. Daily weight continues to increase, and a new dosage of pain medications is being considered.
We are close to finalizing surgery for the patient and we are hoping to nail down the date by the end of the week. There have been lots of consults with some of the best avian surgeons in the country, and we feel privileged that the veterinary community has responded favorably. While waiting for surgery, the mass continues to shrink, and this will make the operation less risky.
Hi Anne Marie,Megan,and Paula, went searching and found they had posted the above late this afternoon. Poor little guy!
LOL Just opened the heron cam. One was staring right at me!
Thanks for sharing that Lolly- I'm outa here, exhausted-the heat has been so brutal the past few days- nice cool air tonite-
Glad you got a break this evening in the weather. We had a little break yesterday evening, but the heat was back today. Nite!
Stil going through my pics...I have a close up of the nest, and you can see the cam wire running down the trunk and under the nest...I wonder if that's why the pic always gets fuzzy when they are flapping/jumping around!
Thanks for the update on Buddy!
Still humid here though.
It does act like a loose wire!
I took a ton a pics..gonna upload most of em. I figure, why not.
Go right ahead!! :) I will enjoy looking at them and I am sure everyone else will as well.
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY~~
Got to shut down and run to pick up a prescription before the SavOn closes tonight.
I think No.3's fledging would happen a lot sooner if Liberty could separate No. 2 from some of the food he leaves on the nest.
Jim
Good Night - Just finished a Hallmark movie - Love them!
Prayers for all those in need
Peace to you and yours
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS
I am shutting down myself. Nite everyone!
Good night all, Pics are ready for tomorrow!
Good Morning. Two in the Nest.
Looks like Tiny could just roll off his end of the nest....
Tiny only in the nest, doing hop-ups it looks like.
Good morning all. Tiny jumping at spot where he branched on Monday, but finally with next refresh I see he is right there landed on the nest. Just jumping and flapping.
I hope you have a much cooler day in store there in WV. Tiny appears to be very active this morning.
Good morning everybody. I see Baby Littley is still there. Getting ready to start working now.
well the good news is Tiny is still there although its kind of hard to tell how active or quiet he is at the moment. Still not sure if the weather has cooled in your area. Guess I will need to wait for a local meteorologist to check in.
and The still cam is clear at least so far, just well you kind of know the refresh rate.
Glo,
Currently 64 degrees here, so probably the same at NCTC. Today's high supposed to be in upper 80's.
Just stopping in to say good morning and have a nice day. Off to work in a little while. Hope Tiny fledges today.
Split is coming.
