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.
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.
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.
Redoubt update: 2009-02-09 13:20:13 Unrest at Redoubt Volcano continues, though no eruption has yet occurred.

Clear webcam images today show a steam plume rising up to several hundred feet above the crater.
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
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.
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.....
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...
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.
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.
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.
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
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 :(
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 :>(
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 :(
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 ! ☺
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 ?
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
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.
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.
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...
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.
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!
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....
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.
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!
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 !

MOVE away from the eggs;)
She is keeping them under wraps this afternoon.
only saw a glimpse of 1 or 2 eggs..
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.
Both eagles
All I saw was 2 also.
Just did my walking excercises. Jack did them with me! Wonder if he will stick with it?!
Come on, show us the eggs.
Think there is a discussion about switching
Dang, I wasn't ready and missed the picture. I saw three, but that was quick.
That was a good look at three eggs.
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.
both eagles at OK
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.
Dinner at OK.
Hi, Loretta, we are most certain, until we see otherwise that there are 3 EGGS ONLY
My picture only shows 3 eggs, I will put it on my page.
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
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.
sure look like 3 to me, Deb
Looks like 3 to me, Deb
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?
Thanks Paula for your input on ME FORUM
Both in our nest
BOTH EAGLES
NEST ALERT
LIBERTY & BELLE IN NEST
You think Lib is going to get up off the egg well?
I count 3 talons
What about you Deb?
Not until he is good and ready, or she makes him!
Jo, I count 4 talons, 2 on each eagle!
TWO EGGS IN OK!
I had been watching OK
I would have bet you my bottom dollar
that was going to happen!!!
Lib is moving.
They have both been really restless this afternoon.
Off the nest
Poof
She is down already..
I only saw 3 briefly
How about you Deb?
Still cam jumped ahead of live again..makes things tricky
Yes, I think they jumped the gun earlier and it was fluff in the nest. Three eggs is all I have seen.
Helen watched OK all day and isn't here for the unveiling. :(
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!
Dinner time for me
BBL
Keep an eye on Caltrans, today should be the day there also.
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....☺
Sneaking closer together in NBG. HP in NBG!
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.
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...

OOh, Margy, it is the snow moon- I don't like that- or the Moon of the Raccoon, Moon When Trees Pop(Sioux Indian)
I wish the NBG eagle would head over to the nest and spend the night after that HP!
Two eggs visible at BWE
I like Moon When Trees Pop, as long as that means spring is around the corner!
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... ☺
ROFLMBO.....I knew that eagle was heading to the delivery room at OK, but had to leave to get stuff for dinner
EAGLE UP
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...
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
Night light coming on at NCTC - last chance coming up for a good screen grab....
I think I thoroughly understand the expression
Bird Brain
So many birds, so little time...
Wow things have clouded up big time...will we see that Moon tonight after all around here ?
Margy, propbably the cam owner at Pix
Not sure, it was so beautiful last night, but there are a lot of clouds moving in:(
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.
Cat just ambled through at Pix PA - looked kinda like a fox
I think Belle (?) is going to do another settling in soon....
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
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 !
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.....
MT nest at NBG, but cam keeps moving in for some close-ups
lol....could be, Margy....get a shot next time;)
I'm going to take a quick stroll to see if I can see the Full Moon..
back in a while..
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
OK had 4 eggs last year, only 2 chicks made it
I saw the full moon rising on the way home....beautiful!
PS that's Belle in the nest tonight.
She just did an egg roll
I missed it, did you see anything?
Sure did, Paula.. not giving up any egg views is she.....☺
Wonder what she keeps looking up at ?
One egg that I could see in Caltrans.
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 ☺
My turn for the grocery store, out of milk.
BBL
Good Evening Eagleland I have a lot to catch up on today.
Thanks Paula did read "thats Belle in the nest".
Deb, I'll let you know if Caltran has a 2nd egg:)
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.
BRS, NEXT TRIP......
Maxton, NC - North Cove, NC - Houston, TX (1255 miles)
Parking his rig at a TS
Where is RED today???? Thought he went out to breakfast yesterday a.m. and poof he is gone????
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.
Deb, went to the store, Lolly, she'll be back
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.
Belle just moved boy did she ever have that left wing spread out.
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.
EGG ROLL
Mits - I noticed that about Red too...thought maybe he took a panda nap yesterday.
Lolly - do you have to mow year round?
Ruh Roh, told the dogs I would take them out in 5 minutes....they can't count!
Hmmm, there is something dark at 6ish...wonder if that is yesterday eve's IDK meal.
Looks like Belle is nodding off.
Good to see you Dana.
BBL...
Lolly, a snowy owl doesn't sound anything like a GHOW.
SNOW sound
eagle straddling nest cup at Caltran
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.
Egg roll only (1) at Caltrans
Deb do you have the sound for a GHO?
Now that I have learned all of that, it is time for dinner.
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
Caltran up again for another egg roll.
The moon is hidden behind the clouds here right now:((((
Glad Sharon is free of her drain. I pray all heals well.
GHOW sound
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?
hey Deb, Caltran is starting to look like OK, now....other eagle keeps flying by, as do other birds
OK's 3rd egg would be tomorrow. Going by last season.
WOW BR Steve is headed for HOUSTON TX
NO WAY !
Correction from back awhile---meant to type 4 eggs last year for OK!
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.
Caltrans eagle in the nest resembles the size of Belle in our nest.
NBG MT nest
Thanks Deb I have heard that sound before. WOW ! So that is a GHO..
she does remind you of Belle, Jo
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......
Ha! Ha!
Belle tucked head under wing!
TWO EGGS at Valtran Owl Cam - visible now...
Uh, make that VALMONT - getting my owls and eagles nests inter-twined
Oh Deb - I hope you see this !
The moon is just a huge hazy circle!
And a little feather flopping around them !
WHOO HOO!!! Great News Margy
Last year her clutch was just the 2
And I thought the excitement was over for the night! lol
what is that moving around the owl eggs?
Male flys in at Caltrans female up 1 egg
oh, ok, Margy, looked like a trapped mouse at first, when I enlarged pic
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 :(
eagle up at Caltran
Those 2 Valmont eggs are beautiful with their fluttering feather! She should be back soon. Taking an egg break!
Yeppers I see the 2 eggs at Valmont GHO. Bet Mema Jo is smiling ( :
and two raccoons at the alternate salt lick site..bet they work their way over to the other cam !
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 :>(
she took her break, back down on egg at Caltran
Caltran doesn't have any FLUFF
Just sticks!
my 2 drains were in for 3 weeks, but doc was really great taking them out
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 !
it is doing that super-imposing thing at Caltran, where it looks like 2 eagles are there, does that late in the day
Egg roll and position change at Caltran
One pretty eagle egg!
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 :(
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 ! ☺
Or maybe a miniature bushy tailed squirrel - please don't send me to the loony bin yet...
Okay, Margy, the men with the white jackets may be headed your way...
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 ?
Belle is awake
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
She"s back
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.
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.
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...
Mama Owl is back, looks sooooo lazy all plumped out on the hatch... ☺
Thanks for thinking about me.
Sounds like a plan Margy...
I am listening to Obama and owls...trying to figure out which owl we always hear...
Caltran eagle rocking back and forth, she'll probably lay it after cam shuts down
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.
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....!
BBL, gonna see if I can get TV OFF of SPEED channel to see Little People!
The nest at Caltran must be slopped. Every time she rolls the egg it roll back where it was.
was getting ready to send out the Silver Alert, Red
Belle is up
Eagle up!
eggs and nest in view now OUR nest
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!
eagle at Caltran is doing the same thing OK was doing earlier, pussing egg back with her beak
MITS Doing WHAT with that egg ? ROFLAMBO !
Margy after you typed that comment "dog lapping at eggs". When Mamma came back you really got the "eye" from her.
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 !
roflmbo....that should be pushing...good thing Ceil is not here, she would get after me, usually do spell check before I post
I only saw TWO EGGS that I could swear on at our nest....just not enough time for further scrutiny
Barred owl call sounds like what we hear too.
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 ☺ ♥
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....
Oh man, mess o'raccoons at some lumpy looking mess at the alternate cam site in PA
Woof ! Bleah !
The president's press conference is on right now, it started at 8 pm.
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 !
Glad to see ya, Red! Sounds like you had a very good day! BRS is headed for Houston, TX!
Thanks Megan, got it on..
Belle just did another egg roll, could not see the three, again just the two...
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.
Up and rolling :)
Geesh ya'll have been chatty...darn near 100 posts since I left!
jubby is home, time for din-din:)
Glad you checked in Red. The graphics course sounds neat! Is it free?
Belle finally tucked her head back in.
Someone sent clouds this way too, hard to see Mr Moon
I'll bet Spidey survives the winter inside our cam housing cause it's nice and warm in there...
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!
Laying down again before CSI comes on at 10
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 !
@#$%^$ Blogger!!
Hey Deb, is this article about the bald eagle festival you attended?
Yankton Press
Yes it is, Paula.
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.
