Mema Jo: Noticed that "chick" on the Over the Water Finland nest myself earlier....sure doesn't look like water or nest or osprey to me! I loved watching that site.
Dana, do you have any borax at home? If you do, dissolve some is a little sugar water and try a drop or two of that where you see the ants. They should flock around it an then they take it back to the nest - it takes a day or two to kill them but it does work...(like 20 mule team borax)
I right click and then chose, View Background Image. I can then save that to my computer. I am on a Mac, so I am not sure if you have that option on a PC.
Well, back from a foray to one of my favorite bird-watching spots: Swinging Bridge out in Hedgesville, got a late start, so heard more than I saw: Towhees, Wood Thrush. Saw a nice buck deer with antlers in velvet and a bunch of lady deer, sure there were some fawns in the tall grass somewhere, returned back over the mountain to see that big beautiful Moon...now to settle in to the computer wildlife. HEDGESVILLER: Funny thing about the crazy looking Wood Duck box, when the ducklings leave, they climb UP to get out...I've not seen it for real, just in playbacks of the daily highlights...still pics at that. Black-Chinned Hummingbirds "chickened out" for the day it seems on fledging... maybe Wednesday. It wore me out just watching them teeter on the edge of the nest and flap flap flap those wings.
DEB and MITS - Thanks for Okla site. Will have to play around a bit to get the live feed. 3 herons on nest, - different cam angles at Sea Eagles, Delta, and White Stork East Germany. I'm asking an awful lot of my computer tonight...expect it to blow up any minute.
Soon as I posted "different angle at Delta," it went back to what it has been...saw an extra tree branch with silly string for a few mins right up front..guess it changes automatically or I am just Crazy. Probably the latter....
Hi All!!! Have not been on at all today! Day did not go as planned. Went to church this morning to work in the flower bed there. It was so hot. Had Jack helping me. Pulled weeds and old pansies. Planted lantanas and put down mulch. We were exhausted!! Came home...decided to water flowers before calling it a day.(Still morning) We were outside when all of a sudden the wind was violent!!! Sirens started going off in town and we can barely hear them, but hear them we did. Scared us, dropped hoses and went in to check the weather.(Our electricity was going off and on!) All storms were basically north and east of us. (WOOD DUCKS!) Don't know why the sirens unless for the wind. HOWEVER, our day was then pleasant and I stayed outside all day and enjoyed it. Wahoo!!!!!!! So nice to be outside and not sweat!
Yes, the storms were in the area of the wood ducks. Laurel got rain but we did not get a drop, but possiable we will have storms again in the morning.

The mass appears even drier today compared to yesterday. The eaglet ate well this morning and, although not taking food off the forceps, will readily eat the food when placed in his mouth.
The eaglet is still hock-sitting and will soon need branches within its enclosure in order to strengthen the tendons in his legs and feet. We hope to install a larger pen in our isolation room later this week so that the eaglet can easily begin to perch without feeling confined by the roof.
The bird keeps the nest incredibly clean by defecating through the cage door onto the window and wall two feet away. The bird's projectile power does not seem to be hampered by the pox infection.
Hi Lolly - I was just coming back on the say Good Night. Those sirens were probably for the Straight Winds they were having! Glad it didn't reach you & do any destruction. I see you are in for a facial having hit #300! Hope your hair doesn't fall out! lol Bad news is they took our Ferry Boat cam down for the season! We are having a very chilly night for June!
Good Night Every One... GLO - know you're working that long shift...tell us about it when you get home. Best Wishes for Good Sleep, Good Rest, Good Dreams, and all the best Blessings, to all. With a lot of love, Magpie xoxo
LOLLY!! What a lucky break for you...you won a Facial. Paula was the last known to use her prize Facial and look at what it did for her.(on my blog) Please use with caution and GOOD LUCK!
Here's one of the video clips of Wood Duck chicks taking the plunge ... what it looks like from outside.
I saw another one on TV years ago where they jumped more than 40 feet onto hard ground, and because of their light weight and all that fluff, not one was injured.
MOVIN - that's great...both video clips. The second one is more like the CamClickers nest. They are chirpy little creatures. Thank you so much !! ! Quack Quack .
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE... We have a Flying Mountaineer in our nest this morning. Wasn't there at 6 o'clock, so must have just come in. Picking at nestovers. Acts like Tiny (sits like Lib) but doesn't have the white spot.

Juvie alert!

Wanda I saw Paula's pic on your site. She has such shiny soft looking face. What happened to her hair? lol
Now Mits gets a free facial wow...you go girl ( :
Just one now...
you know what... that may be momma wood duck's foot I saw earlier and thought it was a hatching...darn
2 again
My refresh is messing up
No still 2 on mine Paula
oh good, been trying to look for a little duck...
momma duck is giving us the evil-eye...
Paula I love your pic
HedV ask if the wood duck is in a air shaft "no that is the nesting box".
I knew I had seen one when I posted that..just came back to computer and saw the pic for about 1 sec before it got fuzzy...so just posted away!
Iris did you look an see what the "ant killing stuff that is safe" is????
Now I only see one in our nest
Now just one...possible Tiny
And I see a turtle shell, too.
The wood duck site says the mom duck won't leave if it is hatching time. If she doesn't leave in the morning, then we will know it is time,
Yup, it's Tiny :)
Dana, I used what Deb used the TERRO liquid ant bait, best product I have ever used....
the wood duck is gone...
Awww, laying in the nest
Time for needed rest at nest
2 in nest
2 our nest
Really cooling down here tonight...65° already
Dana, I believe it is liquid borax in a sweet base...I just cannot find my little bottle of it...
Looks like a little "discussion" going on
Hmm, wonder if there was a food drop...looks like eating going on
Well Iris when you find it. Just walk it next door to me.... lol
Beautiful sight - 2 in the nest!
Maybe just searching for nestovers...looks like Pearl is in the nest with Tiny...Laying down
Quick rest, eagle back up again...maybe leaving.
Now they are both laying down...Tiny in the middle, Pearl at the far end...they make a "T"
Nothing looks good on tv tonight
guess they are spending the night:)
Guess we won't be catching any more Ferry boat rides! That was the prettiest site - I'll miss it! Next time I hope the Sea Eagles inhabit that nest.
Dana, do you have any borax at home? If you do, dissolve some is a little sugar water and try a drop or two of that where you see the ants. They should flock around it an then they take it back to the nest - it takes a day or two to kill them but it does work...(like 20 mule team borax)
Mama Wood Duck still out of nest box.
I know what a bummer.....
Refresh our nest - I think one flew
out.
well guess they are NOT going to spend the night
raining at Finney's nest
I finally got both chicks in a picture of Finney's for Suzanne. Every time I thought about it, I could only see one.
eagle at KENT cam 1
I liked that site on the water also Jo. Sunrise and Sunset was so pretty there.
Yep I see one in our nest...maybe too tired to fly out.
Tiny still in the nest
Looks like tiny white christmas lights right side of our nest (not Christmas yet lol)
she will be so happy, Deb...how do you take the pics there?
Mama Wood Duck has returned to nest box.
stupid blogger cop.....wood duck back
the hooters are all sitting on their pouch
I right click and then chose, View Background Image. I can then save that to my computer. I am on a Mac, so I am not sure if you have that option on a PC.
that is probably why I can't do it...when I hit the save as button, it makes it my desktop pic....I have a Dell Laptop
you know what Deb, I probaly have it in a file somwhere, and just don't know how to find it...
Both juvies and one parent at the Oklahoma nest.
racoon party at PA
wow....what a beautiful pic of that nest, Deb
Now all 4 are there!
Just got home from a meeting. I see we have a baby spending the night in the nest. I love seeing that!

Black-Chinned Hummingbirds "chickened out" for the day it seems on fledging...

There is something red in the Delta nest, oh, they are eating it. Yuck.
All 3 heronettes are in the nest.

DEB and MITS - Thanks for Okla site. Will have to play around a bit to get the live feed.
3 herons on nest, - different cam angles at Sea Eagles, Delta, and White Stork East Germany.
I'm asking an awful lot of my computer tonight...expect it to blow up any minute.
Has anyone found an update on "Buddy"?
And West End: gauzy and magical looking.....
Wow, the black stork chicks have sure changed since I looked at them last.
Soon as I posted "different angle at Delta," it went back to what it has been...saw an extra tree branch with silly string for a few mins right up front..guess it changes automatically or I am just Crazy. Probably the latter....
Nothing new on Buddy since the 12th, Dana.
wow, look at he time.....shutting down for tonight...GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
My dog wants to go for a walk, so I better get going.
Following Mits and Deb out the door nite all

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE...
Enjoy the video clips. I looked at the Texas nest a few times tonight, but so far I haven't seen any hatchlings.
Have a good tomorrow.......

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
We have a Flying Mountaineer in our nest this morning. Wasn't there at 6 o'clock, so must have just come in. Picking at nestovers. Acts like Tiny (sits like Lib) but doesn't have the white spot.
Our little Mountaineer has run out of nestovers. Maybe he will try to catch a fish...or a turtle.
