EAGLE UP

deb said...

WING STRETCHING

Mits said...

MOVE away from the eggs;)

deb said...

She is keeping them under wraps this afternoon.

Mits said...

only saw a glimpse of 1 or 2 eggs..

Lolly said...

Okay, who booted me off! Conficting post blogger com got me! hee! hee! Must have been Deb. I only saw three eggs and that was iffy.

deb said...

Both eagles

deb said...

All I saw was 2 also.

Lolly said...

Just did my walking excercises. Jack did them with me! Wonder if he will stick with it?!

deb said...

Come on, show us the eggs.

Mits said...

Think there is a discussion about switching

deb said...

Dang, I wasn't ready and missed the picture. I saw three, but that was quick.

Lolly said...

That was a good look at three eggs.

NatureNut said...

Good Afternoon! See there was sp-eculation of a 4th egg. I don't think so!!
Thx for emails, Mits.
When Margy gets back from carwash duties, I also have seen the "flapping" whitish thingy late at night on lower right of nest.Looks like spider web & I think when it blows in the wind the light hits it, it flickers & gives appearance of flashlight.

Mits said...

both eagles at OK

deb said...

There he goes with the fluff again. I still think I only saw 3 eggs. Did anyone get a good picture. My pop up that is zoomed in froze at the wrong time.

deb said...

Dinner at OK.

Mits said...

Hi, Loretta, we are most certain, until we see otherwise that there are 3 EGGS ONLY

deb said...

My picture only shows 3 eggs, I will put it on my page.

Mits said...

Lord, I never use the pop-up, its bad enough the cam keeps freezing, and the still cam has had blackouts when I have watched it today

deb said...

My pop has worked the best of anything today, until just at the wrong time. I usually don't have it open either, but I wanted to use the zoom in.

Mits said...

sure look like 3 to me, Deb

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like 3 to me, Deb

Mema Jo said...

I refreshed the OK cam showing both eagles and the egg and WALOOP! one
eagle nesting. Guess it can freeze up also.

I still go with 3 in the clutch.
Anyone check out ME Forum recently?

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Paula for your input on ME FORUM

Mema Jo said...

Both in our nest

deb said...

BOTH EAGLES

Mema Jo said...

NEST ALERT

LIBERTY & BELLE IN NEST

Mema Jo said...

You think Lib is going to get up off the egg well?

Mema Jo said...

I count 3 talons
What about you Deb?

deb said...

Not until he is good and ready, or she makes him!

deb said...

Jo, I count 4 talons, 2 on each eagle!

deb said...

TWO EGGS IN OK!

Mema Jo said...

I had been watching OK
I would have bet you my bottom dollar
that was going to happen!!!

deb said...

Lib is moving.

deb said...

They have both been really restless this afternoon.

Mema Jo said...

Off the nest

Poof

Mema Jo said...

She is down already..

I only saw 3 briefly

How about you Deb?

magpie said...

Still cam jumped ahead of live again..makes things tricky

deb said...

Yes, I think they jumped the gun earlier and it was fluff in the nest. Three eggs is all I have seen.

deb said...

Helen watched OK all day and isn't here for the unveiling. :(

Mema Jo said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Mema Jo said...

3 for me for us

OK - love the cam control
I got down there and saw those 2 eggs really well.......

I wish that NBG would soon join in with their eggs!

Mema Jo said...

Dinner time for me

BBL

deb said...

Keep an eye on Caltrans, today should be the day there also.

magpie said...

Wow, big yawn of big Squawk

Super picture, Deb from 4:43 pm


I managed to see one egg and one talon on the last switch....☺

deb said...

Sneaking closer together in NBG. HP in NBG!

floralgirl said...

Three... I think that other object shown on the Maine blog pic is probably the piece of root or clod of dirt , whatever it was that has been spotted in the nest cup before.

magpie said...

Megan :

What is our Full Moon called this month? should be the Egg M☺☺n ☺

It will be rising soon...

gotta go see OK and Caltrans, back in a few...

deb said...

Redoubt update:
2009-02-09 13:20:13
Unrest at Redoubt Volcano continues, though no eruption has yet occurred. Volcanic tremor is ongoing with variable amplitudes, and small discrete earthquakes are occurring at a rate of one to several events per hour. Clear webcam images today show a steam plume rising up to several hundred feet above the crater.

floralgirl said...

OOh, Margy, it is the snow moon- I don't like that- or the Moon of the Raccoon, Moon When Trees Pop(Sioux Indian)

deb said...

I wish the NBG eagle would head over to the nest and spend the night after that HP!

magpie said...

Two eggs visible at BWE

deb said...

I like Moon When Trees Pop, as long as that means spring is around the corner!

magpie said...

Yeah, I go for Moon When the Trees Pop too...☺ Thanks Megan...

I could open up OK but cam is still and not refreshing, but thanks for the pic Deb

Belle... or is it Liberty...seems so content watching the 5 o'clock World Roll Around... ☺

Mits said...

ROFLMBO.....I knew that eagle was heading to the delivery room at OK, but had to leave to get stuff for dinner

Mits said...

EAGLE UP

magpie said...

I just saw something very weird and just for an instant at Pix..looked like a bunch of fingers...in front of the cam !

BWE was off the eggs for two refreshes that was it...

magpie said...

Loretta: saw your comment about the weird lights at OUR nest...good theory....light and bug play....sure looked like some extra-terrestrial visitors though! xo

magpie said...

Night light coming on at NCTC - last chance coming up for a good screen grab....

magpie said...

I think I thoroughly understand the expression

Bird Brain

So many birds, so little time...

magpie said...

Wow things have clouded up big time...will we see that Moon tonight after all around here ?

Mits said...

Margy, propbably the cam owner at Pix

floralgirl said...

Not sure, it was so beautiful last night, but there are a lot of clouds moving in:(

NatureNut said...

Saw OK about 2 hours ago & she stood, but just the 1 egg was showing under the front of her bell. Maybe 2nd was coming then, ir behind.
Yes, Margy, it kinda looked like xtra light last night, but couldn't see anything shooting up from below. Won't watch late tonight---early AM work day.

magpie said...

Cat just ambled through at Pix PA - looked kinda like a fox

I think Belle (?) is going to do another settling in soon....

Mits said...

I read your comments about moon names, Megan, and the one about the tree pop, had to look again, thought it said something else...tee-hee

magpie said...

This is going to sound awful, but I almost thought someone was Mooning the Camera at Pix - it was soooo fast.

I saw the beautiful Full Moon setting this morning...might have to settle for that !

magpie said...

Yes, Loretta...it was so very strange....I wanted to jump on the Blog to see if anyone was watching but could not leave the view that long....I guess I will never know what it was for sure.....

Mits said...

MT nest at NBG, but cam keeps moving in for some close-ups

Mits said...

lol....could be, Margy....get a shot next time;)

magpie said...

I'm going to take a quick stroll to see if I can see the Full Moon..
back in a while..

NatureNut said...

Is that the same OK eagle that had 3 eggs last year? Seems their text indicates the "pair" has adjusted to the new nest.

Din din

Mits said...

OK had 4 eggs last year, only 2 chicks made it

paula eagleholic said...

I saw the full moon rising on the way home....beautiful!

PS that's Belle in the nest tonight.

paula eagleholic said...

She just did an egg roll

deb said...

I missed it, did you see anything?

magpie said...

Sure did, Paula.. not giving up any egg views is she.....☺

Wonder what she keeps looking up at ?

deb said...

One egg that I could see in Caltrans.

magpie said...

Full moon is struggling to break through some gauzy cloud cover here, still a magnificent sight...just not very clear here, hope the rest of you can see it better...

Got to eat! Sure wish I had a cook right about now...

TTFN xo ☺

deb said...

My turn for the grocery store, out of milk.

BBL

wvgal_dana said...

Good Evening Eagleland I have a lot to catch up on today.

Thanks Paula did read "thats Belle in the nest".

Mits said...

Deb, I'll let you know if Caltran has a 2nd egg:)

Lolly said...

Wow! Been working in the yard, came in refreshed OK and there was that second egg! Beautiful! Such a good picture...no doubt about the number of eggs there.

After we working in the yard, Jack and I sat out there for a while. Really seemed like spring. Jack was in shorts and neighbors on both sides were on their riding mowers.

Mits said...

BRS, NEXT TRIP......

Maxton, NC - North Cove, NC - Houston, TX (1255 miles)

Mits said...

Parking his rig at a TS

Mits said...

Where is RED today???? Thought he went out to breakfast yesterday a.m. and poof he is gone????

Lolly said...

Deb, I have a question. Laurel has an owl she hears frequently. Sounds like a great horned owl with his hoots. Her neighbor was walking one night last week, heard the owl and shined his flashlight up. He said it was a white owl. Well, our reseach says the snowy owl is mostly silent. ?????What do you know. Snowy owls have occasionally been seen this far south.

Mits said...

Deb, went to the store, Lolly, she'll be back

Mits said...

Was just talking to Ceil, Verizon, has messed up her computer, and she has been on the phone with them for 2 hours, one guy hung up on my b-i-l, so she is computer-less at this time.

wvgal_dana said...

Belle just moved boy did she ever have that left wing spread out.

Mema Jo said...

I have returned from an Uno's Classic Pizza dinner..... We only do this every 2-3 months!

I can see that Spidey's web could be mistaken for the beam of a flashlight.

Mema Jo said...

EGG ROLL

paula eagleholic said...

Mits - I noticed that about Red too...thought maybe he took a panda nap yesterday.

Lolly - do you have to mow year round?

paula eagleholic said...

Ruh Roh, told the dogs I would take them out in 5 minutes....they can't count!

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, there is something dark at 6ish...wonder if that is yesterday eve's IDK meal.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Belle is nodding off.

Good to see you Dana.

paula eagleholic said...

BBL...

deb said...

Lolly, a snowy owl doesn't sound anything like a GHOW.

SNOW sound

Mits said...

eagle straddling nest cup at Caltran

deb said...

There is a GHOW, called the West Taiga, that is very pale and often mistaken for a Snowy. The snow doesn't have ear tufts, though, and a GHOW does.

wvgal_dana said...

Egg roll only (1) at Caltrans

wvgal_dana said...

Deb do you have the sound for a GHO?

deb said...

Now that I have learned all of that, it is time for dinner.

wvgal_dana said...

Before it got dark I did get to see the 2 eggs at OK. Which this year they would stop at 2 or 3. So they can raise them.

Saw pic of possible 4th egg for our nest. I'm still counting 3. Yes there is something there but I don't think it is a 4th egg. Took her as usual 4 days from 2nd to 3rd egg (not counting day she laid it). 3 years.So I don't think she would have a 4th by 3rd day. JMO

wvgal_dana said...

Caltran up again for another egg roll.

floralgirl said...

The moon is hidden behind the clouds here right now:((((

wvgal_dana said...

Glad Sharon is free of her drain. I pray all heals well.

deb said...

GHOW sound

Mema Jo said...

I was watching Caltran also -
Couldn't get a view - 2nd egg should be due as 1st egg was on the 6th You know Deb's 'Egg Day'


Is Sharon home yet? Anyone know?

Mits said...

hey Deb, Caltran is starting to look like OK, now....other eagle keeps flying by, as do other birds

wvgal_dana said...

OK's 3rd egg would be tomorrow. Going by last season.

Mema Jo said...

WOW BR Steve is headed for HOUSTON TX

wvgal_dana said...

NO WAY !

NatureNut said...

Correction from back awhile---meant to type 4 eggs last year for OK!

wvgal_dana said...

Let's see last season OK laid
Feb 1, 3. 5, and 7.

This season
Feb 6, 9, so she is already off her schedule. So maybe there won't be 4 this year.

Mema Jo said...

Caltrans eagle in the nest resembles the size of Belle in our nest.

Mema Jo said...

NBG MT nest

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Deb I have heard that sound before. WOW ! So that is a GHO..

Mits said...

she does remind you of Belle, Jo

Mema Jo said...

I have stopped staring at Caltran
Don't think I have the eye power to make her do a visible egg(s) roll! lol

Belle is bobbing her head......

Mema Jo said...

Ha! Ha!

Belle tucked head under wing!

magpie said...

TWO EGGS at Valtran Owl Cam - visible now...

magpie said...

Uh, make that VALMONT - getting my owls and eagles nests inter-twined


Oh Deb - I hope you see this !

Mema Jo said...

The moon is just a huge hazy circle!

magpie said...

And a little feather flopping around them !

Mema Jo said...

WHOO HOO!!! Great News Margy

Last year her clutch was just the 2

Mema Jo said...

And I thought the excitement was over for the night! lol

Mits said...

what is that moving around the owl eggs?

wvgal_dana said...

Male flys in at Caltrans female up 1 egg

Mits said...

oh, ok, Margy, looked like a trapped mouse at first, when I enlarged pic

magpie said...

Deb: Those owl call sounds are Great - - sure are distinctive...
realized awhile ago I am getting little-eared, long-eared, and Great Horned Owls all mixed up with each other sometimes. That's why I was thinking "ears" too when looking at Valmont :(

Mits said...

eagle up at Caltran

Mema Jo said...

Those 2 Valmont eggs are beautiful with their fluttering feather! She should be back soon. Taking an egg break!

wvgal_dana said...

Yeppers I see the 2 eggs at Valmont GHO. Bet Mema Jo is smiling ( :

magpie said...

and two raccoons at the alternate salt lick site..bet they work their way over to the other cam !

NatureNut said...

Cool, Deb. That's the owl I heard all summer & fall & a couple years ago. House across street has few acres of woods. One night it was so close, nust have been right next door, but couldn't see anything. Creepy!
If Ms. Sharon comes on, I want to say Congratulations (even tho it was painfull). Now Mits can't call her Drano! I never had any trouble w/removal of any of mine---but they were only in for week.
And remind me NEVER to open Live cam on tab w/anything else on page. Keeps freezing & I have to close up everything :>(

Mits said...

she took her break, back down on egg at Caltran

Mema Jo said...

Caltran doesn't have any FLUFF

Just sticks!

Mits said...

my 2 drains were in for 3 weeks, but doc was really great taking them out

magpie said...

Hoe DEB gets back before Momma Owl does! I was just at another bird site comparing owls and owl calls, then thought to check back to Valmont...

I was thinking that she seem lazed out all day on that cam....roosting rather than standing like she was for awhile.
☺ Oh Yay !

Mits said...

it is doing that super-imposing thing at Caltran, where it looks like 2 eagles are there, does that late in the day

Mema Jo said...

Egg roll and position change at Caltran

One pretty eagle egg!

magpie said...

Loretta: I would sure remind you not to do it, and am trying to figure out...if I know how to even do that....I always try to hit the New Tab button before opening up a new site, but when I forget it shuts down the one I am on instead :(

magpie said...

I can make my mind play tricks:

I can envision a teeny little dog lapping at those Owl eggs with his tail wagging, but you all Gotta believe me about that crazy white ball on OUR nest last night ! ☺

magpie said...

Or maybe a miniature bushy tailed squirrel - please don't send me to the loony bin yet...

floralgirl said...

Okay, Margy, the men with the white jackets may be headed your way...

magpie said...

The Spidey web would account for the streaks of light...and maybe it was just a ball of fuzz that broke loose from the nest that was flying around, the more I think of it, I think that could be it, if it got caught in the cam glare just right. I was thinking this song at the time Can I get a Witness ?

magpie said...

Belle is awake

Mema Jo said...

Went in to hear some of Prez's news conference. He is determined to pull us up out of this jobless economy. He stresses that everyone must work together (Dem-Repu) AMEN

wvgal_dana said...

She"s back

Lolly said...

Thanks Deb! Yepper, for sure we were listening to a GHOH last night.

Don't know what owl Laurel has up there. Speaking of which, looks like I am leaving early in the morning to babysit. Joseph is sick, fever, sore throat and his neck is hurting. Sounds like the flu bug. So away I go! Maybe I can get on her computer up there.

Red said...

I have been busy today. Had to see my vascular doctor at 9:15 this morning for some tests. Then spent a few hours setting myself up for a NASCAR Fantasy League with some of my old work buddies. I also stopped by the Senior Center in Huntsville and signed up for a computer graphics course which will start Feb 17 for two hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

magpie said...

Deb is watching the Owl eggs.. ☺

OK Megan, I am gonna lock the doors and windows and turn out all the lights... ! (exc the computer screen ) They will think I am NOT HOME and go away...

magpie said...

Mama Owl is back, looks sooooo lazy all plumped out on the hatch... ☺

Red said...

Thanks for thinking about me.

floralgirl said...

Sounds like a plan Margy...
I am listening to Obama and owls...trying to figure out which owl we always hear...

Mits said...

Caltran eagle rocking back and forth, she'll probably lay it after cam shuts down

NatureNut said...

Yes, I saw a white ball last night, Blowing in The Wind! Isn't that a song, too???
Was something caught in the web strand. And somebody tell that Spidey, it's too dang early for that nonsense! We will have to send an eagle cane! If I didn't have dental appt. on 12th, I would come up there! But can't use cane w/birds in nest.

magpie said...

I know one that I hear in Morgan County is the Barred Owl....

"Who cooks for you, Who cooks for you-awwwwwllll "

Hi Red Of course we think about you....!

NatureNut said...

BBL, gonna see if I can get TV OFF of SPEED channel to see Little People!

wvgal_dana said...

The nest at Caltran must be slopped. Every time she rolls the egg it roll back where it was.

Mits said...

was getting ready to send out the Silver Alert, Red

wvgal_dana said...

Belle is up

deb said...

Eagle up!

magpie said...

eggs and nest in view now OUR nest

Costume Lady said...

Oh, my goodness...two men in white jackets just knocked on my door and asked if I knew where a MAGPIE lived. They were told to apprehend her immediately!

Mits said...

eagle at Caltran is doing the same thing OK was doing earlier, pussing egg back with her beak

magpie said...

MITS Doing WHAT with that egg ? ROFLAMBO !

wvgal_dana said...

Margy after you typed that comment "dog lapping at eggs". When Mamma came back you really got the "eye" from her.

magpie said...

Wanda ! You did not give them my address did you ??? I'll go hide out at GeeGee's !

Hey, even though the moon is hiding behind the clouds, it still has its Looney effect !

Mits said...

roflmbo....that should be pushing...good thing Ceil is not here, she would get after me, usually do spell check before I post

magpie said...

I only saw TWO EGGS that I could swear on at our nest....just not enough time for further scrutiny

floralgirl said...

Barred owl call sounds like what we hear too.

magpie said...

I know what you mean Dana !
Those eyes are soooo droopy and dreamy looking !

Lolly - sorry about Joseph's illness but he will have a swell nurse!

Sharon: Hope you jump on here soon and just say Hey to us, let us know you are A-OK ☺ ♥

magpie said...

Jo: I do agree with this statement, things are not going to be perfect anytime soon, but the President and the Nation has to start somewhere...I am sorry I did not think about listening to the news though...that would be part of a patriotic duty that I should not be slighting....

magpie said...

Oh man, mess o'raccoons at some lumpy looking mess at the alternate cam site in PA
Woof ! Bleah !

floralgirl said...

The president's press conference is on right now, it started at 8 pm.

magpie said...

And now waddling over to the regular site.

I am going to get picked up for excessive use of Blog Space, so I am going to move away from here now and let you all have some Space !

Mema Jo said...

Glad to see ya, Red! Sounds like you had a very good day! BRS is headed for Houston, TX!

magpie said...

Thanks Megan, got it on..
Belle just did another egg roll, could not see the three, again just the two...

deb said...

Finally off the phone. I got to see the eggs, and the fluttering thing by the eggs. When the owl came back into the nesting box, it picked up the fluttering thing. I will rewind it and watch it again.

Belle is awake and looking all around.

paula eagleholic said...

Up and rolling :)

paula eagleholic said...

Geesh ya'll have been chatty...darn near 100 posts since I left!

Mits said...

jubby is home, time for din-din:)

paula eagleholic said...

Glad you checked in Red. The graphics course sounds neat! Is it free?

paula eagleholic said...

Belle finally tucked her head back in.

Someone sent clouds this way too, hard to see Mr Moon

paula eagleholic said...

I'll bet Spidey survives the winter inside our cam housing cause it's nice and warm in there...

Costume Lady said...

MARGY, don't go to GeeGee's to hide...she may lock you up somewhere:) She locked me in the garage yesterday AND I had no way of getting out. Her hearing is too bad to hear me hollering or knocking. Gene finally found me and let me out:):) She then fussed at me because I disappeared!

wvgal_dana said...

Laying down again before CSI comes on at 10

magpie said...

Oh, Dear Wanda...

You might have to get yourself some Bib Overalls so you always have a pocket to stash your cell phone in....that, or camou pants with a whole bunch of pockets !

paula eagleholic said...

@#$%^$ Blogger!!

Hey Deb, is this article about the bald eagle festival you attended?

Yankton Press

deb said...

Yes it is, Paula.

Lolly said...

Oh, Drat! I tried to refresh Caltran and they cut me off for the night. Two eagles were there, I was hoping for a good view of egg or eggs.

deb said...

If you want to read the article without it jumping around because of the pictures, click the print button and it opens a screen that you can read easily. At least that is what happens on my Mac.

Mits said...

Caltrans down for the night....got 2 calls one from Ceil and another from friend, Westminster Dog Show is on

Lolly said...

Time for The Bachelor and Pres. is still talking.

Mits said...

Caltran goes off at their sunset, Lolly

Mits said...

SPLIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
