had to chuckle at jubby, he was telling me he and another co-worker were watching the turkey vultures, down in Miami last week, outside the office window, said one of them smacked into window, but he thought it was OK...ahhh, don't think so:(, they were on the 28th floor of the building
Just before I left to get car work done this morning around 8, both birds were moving around our nest a lot...couldn't stay and watch or post about it, trust Vicky and maybe Dana saw that.... that will teach me to make such an early appointment !
Also late last night I saw something VERY STRANGE at our nest, looked like a gauzy snowball moving around the nest, thought maybe it was going to be Spidey but first thought it was Liberty showing up....I know you all have talked about flashlights in the nest...that's what it looked like. Definitely, surreal.... any ideas?
See where red-winged blackbirds have been at BWO platform... a sure sing of spring when we see them around here - love their song...Congareeeeeeeeee ♪ ♫
It was like an apparition at OUR nest when I saw it....could not capture it of course...maybe if I could do video I could have...just lasted about 20 seconds...was after everyone had said good night...
I had also seen a beautiful fly in at the Valmost GH cam last night...and the Momma did a wiggle wiggle, and sat on the egg..then looked straight towards the camera for a bit with eyes wide open, then it dozed off
At Eagle Days I learned that the ears of Owls are not where you think they are. What we think of as ears are just feathers that help break up the round head, so the bird blends in with the tree trunk. I like when I learn something interesting like that.
Caltrans is beautiful this morning. Just realized I can't watch Colo Eagles and Owl at the same time, one closes out the other :( guess I can figure that one out
Greetings dear ones, THREE EGGS AGAIN THIS SEASON. Be still my heart. What a wonderful couple of Eagles we follow. I can hardly wait. I am already worrying about the little bits of feather fluff. have a good one donna
They did a demonstration to show how humans can't do what owls do. Clapped hands around a girl with a blindfold on and whenever they clapped over her head or down by her feet, she couldn't tell where the sound came from.
Good morning! How is everyone on this glorious Monday morning? We were supposed to have thunderstorms this morning, 80% chance, well....guess what....we have bright sunshine! Wanted that rain!
Feeling better. Guess it was just sinus problems upsetting me...not the flu. PTL
NORMA.....have lots of Texas ruby red greatfruit and oranges in the garage refrig. Come on over!!!!
So exciting last night!!! We were going to bed with the windows open, yes, that pleasant....and we heard a Great Horned Owl! Jack and I were both out of bed in a flash (and we threw up the sash!)and leaning on the window sill. Stayed there for a while listening to him. It was so great! Actually sorta "Halloweenish", moonshine, wind blowing....owl hooting! Loved it!
Can not get OK up either. Drat! And I am getting worried about NBG! They have to have a successful year!
Margy...Jack is just as interested in wildlife as I am. We both use the binoculars we have by our kitchen table. We were equally thrilled last night. I always listen when we have the house open and it has been a while since we heard one. I was really excited!
We used to hear screech owls all the time. Apparently they had a home close by and raised a family. Haven't heard any recently. Jack did hear one last summer. (When he was making rounds with a gun at night, hunting a @$*% armadillo.)
Cannot tell for sure loooking at pic from Kittenface Me Forum It is a 'possibility' but not really a 'probability'. Last egg was the 6th - another usually takes Belle 4 days - like the 10th....
I need to see them clearly before any determination is made.

Good question. Whoever it is looks wide across the back, but that could be the camera angle and the sun. Belle ate and left, When Lib came in. I don't think there has been a switch since then.
I looked at kittenface pic...I don't think we have 4. No one noticed any egg laying activity last night, either. Also, we had comments this morning about seeing 3 eggs. I think it may have been one of those cornstalk pieces in there. So I guess we will all keep looking to see how many for sure
lol...if you talked to Sharon, it was VERY unpleasant, told her to call him back, think she needs some anti-biotic cream on it, she was walking around the complex trying to get back to her car to get something to eat
Hi, Momsters and Dadsters! Jim, my friend said that it was raining on Friday...in a tome of voice that made it sound like she didn't like it...but I reminded her that you all need it, and that it sure beats the snow/ice that some areas are having! I think she was just bummed that grandkids were staying in the house! 4 eggs??? Sure hope not....pic is dubious.....sure wouldn't take it for gospel...guess MTBR!
Yippee for Sharon! What a relief...and as they say..."no pain, no gain"!!! Hope she also gets to ditch the binder! Jo, when do you go back to the Dr. again for the ALL better report? Any word on the pending great-grand?
Margy...Jack said he chased away a few bees. How about dandelion honey? I am totally against dandelion wine. Sounds yukky. Just give me a glass of good cab. Boo! Hoo! Not drinking wine on this diet.
I put two pics on the Momsters album from this morning, entitled one "Feb 9 Switch and 3 eggs"...before I realized there was talk of a fourth...something you can look at during a quiet time...
yes, we do see any occasional flashlight at nest, and whoever is doing it, I would like them to stop it, there is no need to be flashing a light in the nest...to me that is just plain eagle harassment....jmho;)
I don't believe I've seen the eggs in a week, except in the video Paula and Deb took. But I seriously doubt they will lay 4 eggs.
Number 4 would be one miserable chick, if it survived at all!
Take a look at NBG, there's an eagle perched on a big branch in front of the nest. I had to watch full screen to make it stay "up" for a while, but then when I went back to normal size, it remained. Try that if you have trouble viewing it now.

Okay, you guys just go ahead...eat your lunch....make me feel bad!! I wanna come too!!!!
No, how fantastic you guys can get together. Will you do me a favor? Check in the gift shop and see if they have received in their walking stick medallions. If they have them , I want to get two.

thanks, Deb and Steve...egg turning at NCTC nest
back down on eggs again
juvie gone at BWO
I missed it, my cam was frozen. It was so nice yesterday with very little freezing, must be a lot of people watching today.
sunset in Finland....ship going by
BRS is on the move.

Definitely, surreal....
any ideas?
Anyone thinking of going to the Eagle Festival at Blackwater in early March ??
It sounds wonderful.....like the idea of a trained guide going out to help look for and see Eagles there....
eewwiiees flapping wings at BWO
Okla not friendly this morning to my computer :(
Poor TV that would be quite a fall.
Not sure what it was, Margy, a bug of some sort. The flashlight we saw, was way on the ground pointing towards the nest.
lol....Margy, looks like a flasher:)
See where red-winged blackbirds have been at BWO platform... a sure sing of spring when we see them around here - love their song...Congareeeeeeeeee ♪ ♫
you are right, Helen ! Looked exactly like that ! ☺
Porn on the platform...
It was like an apparition at OUR nest when I saw it....could not capture it of course...maybe if I could do video I could have...just lasted about 20 seconds...was after everyone had said good night...
both eagles at CALTRAN
I had also seen a beautiful fly in at the Valmost GH cam last night...and the Momma did a wiggle wiggle, and sat on the egg..then looked straight towards the camera for a bit with eyes wide open, then it dozed off
I can't get on OK, must be getting alot of hits
funy you can see the ears on the Owl twitching some, maybe blowing in the breeze....
CALTRAN are sharing some breakfast
and doing more nestorations...
tv's flashing again at BWO
still only see 1 egg there
At Eagle Days I learned that the ears of Owls are not where you think they are. What we think of as ears are just feathers that help break up the round head, so the bird blends in with the tree trunk. I like when I learn something interesting like that.
baby hummer in nest getting really big, so cute !
screaming eagles out in California, wish they had sound
great info, Deb...I like to learn things like that too.
Whoopee! We have 3 eggs! Aren't Liberty and Belle wonderful!
More on owls ears, this explains it better than I can:
Owl Ears
Caltrans is beautiful this morning.
Just realized I can't watch Colo Eagles and Owl at the same time, one closes out the other :(
guess I can figure that one out
Greetings dear ones, THREE EGGS AGAIN THIS SEASON. Be still my heart. What a wonderful couple of Eagles we follow. I can hardly wait. I am already worrying about the little bits of feather fluff. have a good one donna
EAgle at Colo nest....
Unbelievable information, DEB. That site is in favorites now....and the links too.
WE love it when you learn something new, then we do too ! xo ☺
Liberty is fluffing things up just for you Mauley ! ♥
Two at Coloroda Ft. St Vrain now. Spectacular !
They did a demonstration to show how humans can't do what owls do. Clapped hands around a girl with a blindfold on and whenever they clapped over her head or down by her feet, she couldn't tell where the sound came from.

When I grow up I definitely want to be a biologist! Ornithologist to be exact !
Our bird looks sooooo long stretched out in the nest like he is...
nice little show at Colo Eagle nest, gone now.
Me too - I am running in empty, time to squeeze a nap in
TTFN xox ☺ z z z
..running on empty that is...
Hi L♥lly - - ssound wonderful, the owls..what a romantic experience too....to share that with someone - that's the best !
So, now are we all going to blindfold someone and try this? I am! Hey Jack..........! Come here..........! :)
HA, HA...I can't tell where sound is coming from even if it is right in front of me! Hate when that happens:)
LOLLY...WARNING...Jack my think you have something else in mind;);)
How fun, Lolly! I have had fun seeing all the owls that I have seen. Now I want to see more!
Margy...Jack is just as interested in wildlife as I am. We both use the binoculars we have by our kitchen table. We were equally thrilled last night. I always listen when we have the house open and it has been a while since we heard one. I was really excited!
Nestorations in CO.
ROFLMBO!
BRS is at his destination in NC.
Good one, Wanda!
We used to hear screech owls all the time. Apparently they had a home close by and raised a family. Haven't heard any recently. Jack did hear one last summer. (When he was making rounds with a gun at night, hunting a @$*% armadillo.)
just got a quick glance of BRS, before he got into the truck
Maine thinks we have a fourth egg.
Maine Forum
Hello! I've returned for a few minutes.
Heading over to Jenny's for a bit.
Love all the Owl Tales & info
Didn't get a real clean bill of health but I'm headed in that direction.
BBL
I looked at the pic, have to get the old magnifying glass out.
HP just happened in CO.
It is so hard to tell in the picture, but it sure could be 4.
Coffee is finished, I need to get moving! I am so glad to be feeling good again.! I will be dropping in and lurking a wee bit.
You all have a grand day!
Jack just told me we got six tenths of an inch of rain over night. Slept through it! Yea! That is soooo good! TTYL
if it is 4, one looks like it is right on top of another one, and that could cause problems and breakage...still hoping it is just 3
I hope it is just 3, too, and that it is just fluff of some sort on top of the one egg.
I agree Deb....
Cannot tell for sure loooking at pic from Kittenface Me Forum
It is a 'possibility' but not really a
'probability'. Last egg was the 6th - another usually takes Belle 4 days - like the 10th....
I need to see them clearly before any determination is made.
Thanks for popping in on the ME Forum,Deb
BBL to see what you have seen
I would think the 4th egg would take longer, too, Jo. She would really need to rebuild the calcium in her system, wouldn't she?
Eagle was just up, but I didn't see anything. I can't get a live feed at all right now.
**gOOD MORNiNG**
**EVeRYBoDY !!**
How are you all??
[:~D]
Jim
The geese are headed north again. Huge flocks arriving in southern Nebraska.
neither can I Deb.......Morning, Jim
OMG Now I will be checking in more often. Keep your eyes peeled!
If your live feed is up and working, don't reload or shut it down!
Hello all:) lost my live feed too:(
I emailed about live feed being down and asked about a 4th egg
I, too, do not think we want 4. That would be too much stress getting all fed! And, it has not been long enough, like you said.
I just got a picture on the pop up live feed.
My live feed is still up but it looks frozen!
My feed is up and running here.
my live feed is back on
Interesting, my pop up is okay for the other is frozen/
My live feed is back on the Home page.

who is in our nest????
Good question. Whoever it is looks wide across the back, but that could be the camera angle and the sun. Belle ate and left, When Lib came in. I don't think there has been a switch since then.
thanks, was thinking the smaller size looked like Lib
Update on BRS....
Maxton, NC - Delivered product, now playing in downtown area. :)
Looking at the neck...looks like Belle.
What's this about FOUR EGGS?? I checked Kittenface's photo...all I see is 3.
A lot of looking around, thought maybe Belle was on her way back.
You can see something that may be a fourth egg on the left side of the picture, on on top of another.
Eagle up!
4 eggs would be VERY stressful ON US!!! Can you imagine????
Dang, no view at all.
That would not be good, the fourth one would be so small compared to the first one.
OK had 4 eggs last year, only 2 survived..I think
BRS is driving on a small road
Kittenface must be on cam watch 24/7. I would be stir crazy!
Afternoon, all.
I looked at kittenface pic...I don't think we have 4. No one noticed any egg laying activity last night, either. Also, we had comments this morning about seeing 3 eggs. I think it may have been one of those cornstalk pieces in there. So I guess we will all keep looking to see how many for sure
hope that is all it was, 4 would be a disaster waiting to happen...hope someone gets a clearer pic
We are in our 3rd day of moderate showers here ... been pretty good so far, soaking with no flooding or slides.
And we just had a real downpour for about 10-15 minutes. Blew everything away!
[:~D]
Jim
Glad you are getting the much needed rain, Jim.
Sharon called, she is drain-free, but it hurt like heck when he took it out....Poor thing:(
Someone thinks she laid the egg at 3am this morning...we shall see.
Hey, anyone else have any clue what was brought to the nest last night for dinner and also eaten this morning for breakfast?
Yay, Sharon...here's for some final healing!
I liked your thought that it might be big mouth bass
BRS is parked on the side of a road, maybe getting nature pics.
EAgle!
Belle just dropped in!
I don't know what it was, but I thought she was going to choke on one big bite
LIB quickly took off the back
And she's headed for the eggs.
I couldn't even see one egg that time.
No open view this time...Belle was in the way :)
I could see one...
lol...that was quick
got to get some things done around here, will keep checking:)
Just returned from Jenny's house - I was watching all her bird feeders while Hubby fixed a computer.
WHOO HOO! That's what I wanted to hear! DRAIN FREE - TUBELESS
I'm sure the end result was worth the few minutes hurt!!!
They had more snow at the OR nest. The eagles have been visiting the nest.
BRS, sure likes BP gas stations
Congratulations, Sharon, I am glad you are Drain-free!
BRS is moving.
lol...if you talked to Sharon, it was VERY unpleasant, told her to call him back, think she needs some anti-biotic cream on it, she was walking around the complex trying to get back to her car to get something to eat
I really really hope that there wasn't enough HP to give way to 4 eggs. OH!
I hope someone soon gets a clear picture.
Hi, Momsters and Dadsters!
Jim, my friend said that it was raining on Friday...in a tome of voice that made it sound like she didn't like it...but I reminded her that you all need it, and that it sure beats the snow/ice that some areas are having! I think she was just bummed that grandkids were staying in the house!
4 eggs??? Sure hope not....pic is dubious.....sure wouldn't take it for gospel...guess MTBR!
Good info on owls, Deb. Lolly, I heard my nearby Great Horned a couple of nights ago...but only one...he wasn't getting any answering calls.
Juvie Eagle at BWO
Up again.
And down again.
That's the same juvie from this morning, or at least one the same age.
Our Eagle looks almost like a Duck !
Juvenile at BWO giving some nice poses, just looked like he was yodeling a minute ago ☺
It is very vocal right now at BWO.
Juvie was putting on a real show at BWO but just left :(
"Ear" feathers standing on end at Valmont !
Yippee for Sharon! What a relief...and as they say..."no pain, no gain"!!! Hope she also gets to ditch the binder!
Jo, when do you go back to the Dr. again for the ALL better report?
Any word on the pending great-grand?
Oh good, no confirmation on 4 eggs. That we do not want!
Talked Jack into working with me pulling dandelions. Filled two buckets. hee! hee! Now I am all hot and sweaty. It is up to 71 now. Yuk!
Yea!!!!! For Sharon...you are one great step towards healing.
Lolly - how about some dandelion wine ? ☺
Deb - sent you an email....
Sure that Belle was just throwing something out of egg cup, but sure looked like she was spitting!
I just remembered something, I sent a pic of the 3 EGGS to Suzanne late this a.m.
she does like her chewing tobacco
She was still blocking most of the view again.
Would someone go over to the nest and kindly tell her to get on the other side of that egg cup so we can see!!
Or, she can just hold up however many talons to count off the eggs for us.
And to Steve, I think you said.
Look in your sent emails folder.
I saw another pic from 7am this morning...looked like 3 eggs.
lol Eagles do spit!
Paula...roflmbo.....maybe a little sign:)
I just got a picture from the last roll, it is on Nest Pictures. Looks like 3 to me.
I guess Lib knows...but he's not telling!!
Good day everyone! Just now finally making it on here. I see we definitely have 3 eggs! Awesome!
Margy...Jack said he chased away a few bees. How about dandelion honey? I am totally against dandelion wine. Sounds yukky. Just give me a glass of good cab. Boo! Hoo! Not drinking wine on this diet.
I just sent to some of you the pic I sent to Suz this a.m., it looked like just 3 to me, and this was at 10 this a.m.
i like the idea of Belle holding up the correct number of talons to tell us how many eggs. LOL
I put two pics on the Momsters album from this morning, entitled one "Feb 9 Switch and 3 eggs"...before I realized there was talk of a fourth...something you can look at during a quiet time...
Hi Danelle! There has been talk of a 4th egg, but we do no believe it.
but wait, doesn't she have only 3 talons:)...lol
ROFLMBO 3 talons
Guess that tells it all!!!
She has two sets of talons...one on the end of each leg. :)
Grandfather always made Dandelion Wine..
Lolly - I can't hold up both feet and count lol Belle would be flat on her tail!
yeah, meant 3 talons on each foot;)
I don't see a fourth egg anywhere...
Hi Danelle - Just like last year Belle laid that 3rd egg on Sandra's b-day!
what a sight that would be, Jo
I saw where someone mentioned a flashlight at the nest. The other day I saw something that looked like a flashlight shining up. It was not headlights.
Margy...is seeing things at the nest. I think she needs more sleep. LOL
Eagles have 4 talons on each foot!
Deb your pic shows 3
Belle can fly! She can then point the number of talons!
yes, we do see any occasional flashlight at nest, and whoever is doing it, I would like them to stop it, there is no need to be flashing a light in the nest...to me that is just plain eagle harassment....jmho;)
Oh, my! For some reason I just had a wonderful idea about a children's book on Lib and Belle. Wouldn't that be fantastic. I can just see it!!!!
I will write the book, Deb can do the phontography, who can do the art work?
"Leaning your Numbers, with BELLE AND LIBERTY"
ha! Make that photography.
I don't believe I've seen the eggs in a week, except in the video Paula and Deb took. But I seriously doubt they will lay 4 eggs.
Number 4 would be one miserable chick, if it survived at all!
Take a look at NBG, there's an eagle perched on a big branch in front of the nest. I had to watch full screen to make it stay "up" for a while, but then when I went back to normal size, it remained.
Try that if you have trouble viewing it now.

I sent emails to Jill & Robyn. Any other locals? NORMA come on down for lunch - She just might not pass an offer for lunch Everyone would surely be welcomed!
No art work from me, that's why I take pictures!
Dandelion wine is good!
Okay, you guys just go ahead...eat your lunch....make me feel bad!! I wanna come too!!!!
No, how fantastic you guys can get together. Will you do me a favor? Check in the gift shop and see if they have received in their walking stick medallions. If they have them , I want to get two.
If she could get up right now...light is just right!
The book would be fantastic!
Raise some money and we could have a
blown up time at 2009 Open House!
I really need to place my head under my wing for a few
I think an egg roll is coming up soon
BBILW
Wanda needs to go to the nest and prod her to get up so we can check the nest.
We'll for sure check on it for you Lolly.
Thank you Jo! I would appreciate it. They were out of them last October. They were expecting more in, but I forgot the name of the girl to call.
Yay! What a nice b-day gift for Sandy! :)
Sure I'll miss something, but have GOT to get the vehicle washed...
TTFN xo Happy Perching on the Edge of Your Seats ! ☺ ♥ xo
Guess I could use BRS lingo and call it the Four-Wheeler.... ☺
'Bye
OK cam seems to be working properly again
guess OK is due for another egg if she is going to lay it
BOTH EAGLES AT OK
STILL only 1 egg at OK
OK female is moving the egg around, maybe she wants to lay another one soon
he just sat on her,,,,he needs to get out of the nest
she keeps rolling the egg at OK, what a fascinating cam that one is
It is funny to watch them, they sure both want their turn on the egg.
she was a friday egg, correct, Deb?
Yes, she was. Our nest, OK, Caltrans and Valmont GH Owl were all Friday, or Egg Day as I call it!
they keep looking like, there has to be another one there, she cups the egg underneath her beak and rolls it back and it keeps rolling forward
