BWO UPDATE FROM LISA:
Nest Update

07/01/08:
Photographer Bob Quinn recently went on an osprey banding trip, and he's posted these great photos of the adventure.

Note how the young ospreys have tan tips on the end of their feathers. They turn all-brown as they mature. Also their eyes will turn from orange to yellow.

MITS said...

OPSREY AT BWO, AND DEAD FISH AT BWE

normabyrd said...

SHARON---Is the 'LITTLE CAMPER' still resting up from her camping trip??----she is so cool!

MITS said...

BWE UPDATE FROM LISA:

07/01/08:
Special Note for our Refuge Visitors: The first section of the Wildlife Drive will be closed for about two months while we repair an impoundment that protects the drive from the river.

Read our press release for details about what is open during the road work

deb said...

She is really teasing us today, back down in the nest.

MITS said...

MITS said...

it would be sooooo cool, if they had the cam outside the nest too

MITS said...

juvie sitting on dead fish at BWE.

MITS said...

off to get more coffee, and do a dolphin check...bbl

paula eagleholic said...

Juvie is dancing around the nest w/ the nestovers!

deb said...

Jen is videotaping today, I think, she is in the house watching. There is a blue jay outside and that is why the mom isn't leaving. Right after the jay called out the mom went back in the box.

paula eagleholic said...

Our juvie that is!

MITS said...

thanks for the update, Deb

deb said...

Checking again.

deb said...

There is a really cute clip of the ducklings practice climbing from this morning in the video highlights section of the camclickers page.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Wow, watching that video from Dolly is amazing. We are going to Dollywood the end of July. Now I really can't wait!!

MITS said...

back down...

MITS said...

I have been to Dollywood at Chritmas time, it is a wonderful place, in a very beautiful area

deb said...

Checking one more time, I hope this is the time.

MITS said...

back up again

MITS said...

blogger cop is awake

MITS said...

MITS said...

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY...

It's a moderately beautiful Tuesday in So Cal. 64° dreaming California style of a very sunny 86° in the P.M.

deb said...

There is a song, too, that I enjoyed, called Save the Eagle, written my James Rogers.

Save the Eagle

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I watched that video of Save The Eagle. Thanks Deb, that was so beautiful.

Costume Lady said...

NILLA...A LITTLE EAGLE TOLD ME THAT YOU ARE 39 AGAIN TODAY, JUST LIKE THE REST OF US!!
HOPE THIS BIRTHDAY BRINGS EVERYTHING YOU WISH FOR.

MITS said...

AWESOME VIDEO, DEB and to think that was recorded back in 1995

deb said...

Jen doesn't know what is spooking the mom duck anymore. She doesn't see the jay anymore.

deb said...

I wonder why it hasn't been published more, especially in eagle sites. The Dolly video has to be fairly old, too, Reba McEntire hasn't worn her hair like that in a long time.

floralgirl said...

Have a great day everybody:)It is beautiful outside!~ Just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY NILLA!! Hope you are doing okay! I am off to market to market......

MITS said...

she look a little futher out this time

normabyrd said...

WOW!--DEB!---That's COOL!!---I hadn't seen that site!!---I saw the DOLLY PARTON'S VIDEO on the news!!!----Thanks---I am delighted to pass this on to an EAGLE friend of mine!!!!

MITS said...

have a good day at the market, Megan, better weather for you today, tell DC I said Hello

MITS said...

MOM IS OUT

deb said...

Empty nest for us.

MITS said...

C'MON LITTLE DUCKYS

movin said...

How many Wood Duck hatchlings do you count??

I get 9-11 depending on which count. (I am just starting my coffee drinking, so I claim technical interference in the count.)

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

MITS said...

Deb, does it make any difference if you watch the ducks in the pop up window?

MITS said...

Jim the page says it was a 13 egg clutch, don't know how many actually hatched

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' BEAUTIFUL MEGAN!!---It is a cool CLOUDY day here this am--Just waiting for the next storm!------ENJOY YOUR DAY AT THE MARKET---'LITTLE RED HEN'!!!!!

MITS said...

tee-hee....I don't think they wanna go

deb said...

No, I don't think so, I have the pop-up open. Jen is having internet problems today, she thinks that is why the picture isn't refreshing as fast as normal. The ducklings aren't leaving, wonder why?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, I count 10 little heads myself.

normabyrd said...

MY LIVE FEED IS GONE!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Eaglet in our nest!

deb said...

We have an eaglet again. Duckys are on the move.

MITS said...

ARE THEY GOING OUT?

deb said...

That was fast, juvie gone again.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, just brought that camera up and now we are down to 3 and one of them is on their way out!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And last one just left! Two eggs left.

deb said...

Looks like 2 eggs didn't hatch. All gone!

MITS said...

WELLLLLLLL GOLLLLLY, THAT WAS FAST

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Sure was fast. Tuned in just in time!

movin said...

very cute close up of ZZ at SD now.

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

MITS said...

All this time, sitting here and in a flash it is all over, there is a joke somewhere in that statement, but this is a family blog

deb said...

Jen was filming, I don't know how long it will take her to post the clip.

movin said...

Bai's trying to eat and push ZZ away from her bamboo at the same time.

Those two really like to play games and rassle with each other. Lot of fun.

movin said...

A BWE juvenile is STILL in the nest this morning.

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

MITS said...

Deb, that early a.m. video of the ducks wanting to get out is priceless

MITS said...

now we can turn out attention to the chimney swifts.....some jerk just fired off a firecracker near her nest, what a bang!

MITS said...

poor bird, dogs are barking in the background

MITS said...

3 firecrackers have gone off near the swift nest

MITS said...

of course with the planes, cars and other noises, guess it doesn't bother Miss Chimney Swift

MITS said...

June 30
We have received word that most of the pandas at the Wolong Giant Panda Breeding Center—where our two adult giant pandas were born—have been moved to Ya'an and other facilities, as landslides and other safety risks due to the coming rainy season remain a threat. National Zoo staff will go to China later this year to help with the recovery.

We also wanted to let you know that the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, in cooperation with the Giant Panda Conservation Foundation, has made a $165,000 donation to the China Wildlife Conservation Association to support post-earthquake panda conservation. Those who donated on this website or sent checks to us helped us make a significant contribution. If you have not yet given, please donate today.

UPDATE FROM THE NATIONAL ZOO!

deb said...

I put my wood duck pictures on my page until Jen has her video ready.

MITS said...

MITS said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

It seems to me that these three hang out more in the nest than the first three.

NatureNut said...

Just a Ducky Day. Thanks for pics, Deb!!

Happy B'Day to Nilla and our kitty, Binky (2 yrs old)
