Red said...

Thanks Steve. I'll get the others.

Red said...

Now that I woke everyone up, I'm going out for breakfast. BBL

Costume Lady said...

Thank you, Steve.
Enjoy your breakfast, Red.
The photo that Steve posted, shows the corn cob very clearly:)
Maybe it is a toy for the chicks, when they hatch...kinda reminds me of the Blue Teddy bear in the osprey nest last year:)

paula eagleholic said...

Good Morning, Red. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the new thread and picture, Steve.

Costume Lady said...

Breakfast time here, then church.
Have a blessed Sunday.

Mits said...

Good Sunday morning everyone.

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is back with a stick...missed the fly in, feed was frozen

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, Mits :)

Mits said...

Looks like she is sitting on him

Mits said...

morning, Paula....she sat on him to get him up.

Mits said...

we can't do full screen with this cam, can we?

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, I must have been wrong!

Looks like that was Lib back....and he brought a fish or something! Belle eating it now, while Lib sits on the launchpad

paula eagleholic said...

No, we can't

paula eagleholic said...

Wish we could hear the crunch crunch

paula eagleholic said...

She is wolfing it down

Mits said...

that would be nice, but guess that is not going to happen again this year.

paula eagleholic said...

She wolfed it down and took off, then he took off too, now one is back

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Lib is back is my guess, now all comfy on the eggs.

Mits said...

How low can he go:)?

Mits said...

BRS is on the road

paula eagleholic said...

Breeze has picked up now...can see the tree swaying...

Should be easier to tell today if your feed is frozen :)

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, he does look like a pancake, doesn't he Mits.

Mits said...

got to be hard getting up from that position without breaking any eggs

Mits said...

deb said...

Osprey have been in and out since I opened it, so they might be back soon. No egg yet that I could see.

deb said...

Maine is hoping it is the female. Both eagles in OK.

Mits said...

she could be trying to lay it now

Mema Jo said...

Checked OK first
Airing off the egg (in full view)

Mema Jo said...

Hello! Hello! Jim

Hi Norma - really beautiful. I already have some windows opened for a short time.

Mema Jo said...

Now I am headed for my deck.. & the sun

movin said...

Is my math off on the Hummer chick's fledging?? It looks like it will be another day or two perhaps before it flies the nest, but when I count from 1/16, I get 30 days.

They usually fledge around 21-23 days, I believe......

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

My live feed is freezing up now too

paula eagleholic said...

Today at hummer nest since 1/16 would be 22-23 days, Jim.

movin said...

Would you believe it is about 10° warmer in Shepherdstown than it is here in Santa Ana?!


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

FYI - If you have the still cam on pop up, try closing it and see if you get the live feed any better. Sometimes it seems to help.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' MOVIN'JIM!!---We are enjoying a GLORIOUS day here in WV!!---Need to read my newspaper now!!----May watch the ball game!!
I have been feeling 'poorly' today!!----Think of you all must have breathed on me!!---ho!

paula eagleholic said...

Sorry, Jim. :)

paula eagleholic said...

Norma - amazing how you can catch a 'bug' through the computer!

paula eagleholic said...

Egg roll

movin said...

Thanks, Paula, I knew it had to be wrong, but I counted it on the calendar?????

Hadn't had my coffee though. :~D

Anyway, the little guy is about to fledge shortly. Take a peek.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Jim, get some coffee, LOL

Mema Jo said...

Mema Jo said...

Mema Jo said...

Waiting for my call from the Germany gals

paula eagleholic said...

Jo - Belle, yes. Lib, No!!

paula eagleholic said...

Egg roll and digging...

Lolly said...

Good Sunday afternoon everyone! It is 69, we have the house open and I am listening to my windchimes. Have a lot....I love them! Played hooky from church, have had a headache and slight upset tummy. Can't catch bugs over the blog, right?

Had fun at Zach's party yesterday. It was a riot. I will have to post pictures. Will let you know when I get to it. Quiet a party for a three year old!(not sure I approve, just NOT my style)
It was at a very nice upscale bowling ally. We had six special lanes for kids. The lanes have bumpers so the balls go down the lane. Also ramps to roll the light weight balls on. Elvis was a HUGE hit! Like I said, I will let you know when I post pictures.

Stuck with my diet. One sip of wine and one bite of cake. Drank lots of water. Took my own food to the house to have after the party.

Home today and all week. Well maybe babysitting again Tuesday.

So glad you are having glorious weather. Have a great day!

Lolly said...

Whoops! Almost forgot.....

Happy Anniversary to Ceil and Hubby!!! 45!!!! We are close behind you...44 in June.

Mema Jo said...

Good to hear that everything went well for Zach's party! Proud to know such a dedicated dieter, Gal!

Had my cam call from Germany gals.
MISS THEM SO MUCH!

Not sure what I am going to get into now.
I do feel Great! I sure hope good health continues year after year after year. And then another year so I can see all the grandkids graduate! lol

wvgal_dana said...

Tell ZOO ATLANTA YOU WANT LIVE WITH SOUND

hedgie said...

Afternoon, fellow watchers.
Another beautiful day, but quite a breeze here! 60° presently.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, CEIL and JIM!! Wishing you many more.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JILL!

hedgie said...

Laughed about the corn cob! A few years ago Bill brought in a truckload of corn-on-the-cob for the deer....squirrels ended up depositing empty cobs up in trees and bushes, all over driveway...I said never again!!

Mema Jo said...

Star Ranch Owl Cam

Both owls are there
Just saw the one roll egg and then
nesting on it. Probably more then one
egg but it was hard to determine.

http://www.starrranch.org/stream_barnowl.shtml

Mits said...

73° down at the Ocean City Boardwalk:)

Mema Jo said...

BR Steve going thru WV

Mema Jo said...

Checking out the OC cams

Mema Jo said...

I think I just saw Tom & Sissy with one of the dogs taking a walk down Jefferson Street

Mits said...

out of all the states I have watched him go thru, this is the worse, constantly freezing and dropping off. Must have terrible reception, on the road he is on

Mema Jo said...

WOW! Major crowds on the boardwalk
at Wicomico Street! I would doubt any stores are open.....

Mits said...

from his yellow pin, he is very near Bluefield

Mema Jo said...

I am certain that the reception isn't very good at all. I was noticing the stop/start action too.

Mits said...

he is past Bluefield now

hedgie said...

Sorry to hear that you aren't up to par, Norma and Lolly. Get better quickly!
Glad that Captain Gene is over his bug!
Lolly, know what you mean about the birthday party stuff....I always felt that little one's days should be celebrated quietly at home w/ close family....they aren't going to remember it, and it's an unnecessary expense to do these fancy things!

Mema Jo said...

Son has come by to visit (while doing his laundry lol).

I'll bbl

hedgie said...

Entered my thoughts on AZ's survey.....will be interesting to see if they post results!

Mits said...

Thrashers's french fries are open Jo, there is a long line:)...Worcester Street Cam

Mema Jo said...

I thought that was Thrasher's
I can see the line move a little at each refresh.

paula eagleholic said...

Jo - Star ranch barn owls have 6 eggs!

paula eagleholic said...

MMmmmm...french fries!

paula eagleholic said...

Egg roll

paula eagleholic said...

Couldn't even see 'em!

Costume Lady said...

LOLLY, Capt. wanted to play hooky from church today too...said he shouldn't have to go because he HAD been sick. I told him he needed to go to church and thank the Lord that he was only sick ONE day;) He agreed with me, but whined like a 7 year old girl the whole time he was getting ready:):)

paula eagleholic said...

Another egg roll...could see 1 this time!

Mits said...

BRS in NC

Mits said...

BRS stopping at a TS, just drove past an 18-wheel Mobile Chapel

movin said...

cHECK out ZZ's Panda nap in close up.

Jim

movin said...

Male eagle is at BWE.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

You can barely see an eagle in the lower r/h corner of the frame at Norfolk.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

The Hummer chick is getting more active, rising up in the nest, spreading its wings sometimes.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

Belle just turned the eggs again, but , boy, that deep egg cup and the extra grass they put in there to counter the snow make it very difficult to see the eggs.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

carolinabeachmom said...

JO Saw where you asked where the rig was going in NC, itis southwest of me, by Fayettville.

HELLO EVERYONE ON THE EAGLE BLOG! I have been reading the blogs trying to keep up, but not having the time to get on.

CONGRATULATIONS TO CEIL AND HUBBY ON THEIR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY AND JILL ON HER BIRTHDAY!

hedgie said...

Dinner time in the nest...not sure what Belle's eating! Bird? Is it too early to find turtle??

hedgie said...

Can't see the eggs at all.

carolinabeachmom said...

Egg rolling is now taking place very carefully. Our night light is on.

paula eagleholic said...

I'm not sure what it is...doesn't look like fish

hedgie said...

Entrails trailing....ooh.

paula eagleholic said...

Candy you need to refresh...

paula eagleholic said...

That is eating happening, not egg rolling

carolinabeachmom said...

Hey HEDGIE And here I thougt that she was rolling the eggs. I didn't see dinner come in.

paula eagleholic said...

A mammal perhaps...don't see any plucking going on or feathers flying

paula eagleholic said...

Back to the eggs.

hedgie said...

Okay...enough food. Checked eggs and wiggled back into position--saw the eggs for a brief moment!

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh crumb, I can nevrr get anything straight anymore! Sorry

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm. Up close looks like a big mouth bass...too bad it's dark out now.

paula eagleholic said...

That's OK, Candy...just wasn't sure you had the current pic

carolinabeachmom said...

I can't even type right tonight.

hedgie said...

Hope that moving shadow on right side isn't spidey!

hedgie said...

Beautiful full moon risin'!!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good evening everyone. I am in Bedford on the eve of what I am praying to be DRAIN-FREE DAY! More will be revealed.

carolinabeachmom said...

I can't believe that someone sent a pic of Spidey back again this season. I had hoped we had seen the last of him. I guess he is God's creature too and has a right of live wherever.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Those glowing eyes are interesting looking!

hedgie said...

Bet the moon is lovely at the beach, right Candy???

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Rolling, rolling, wiggling, wiggling!

carolinabeachmom said...

Eagle off eggs; all three of them

carolinabeachmom said...

And she is down again for another sitting.

HEDGIE The moon does look good coming up over the ocean, but I hardly get over there much at night. During certain times of the year the moon is really hugh coming up.

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

The eagles were working on the nest
here today and i think they might
be getting ready for spring.They
added lots of sticks and grass.I
posted some photos on winter with
the eagles blog,i will post some
more as i edit them.
I hope that everyone had a great
sunday.
Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave

hedgie said...

Hey, Sharon, will say prayers and keep fingers crossed that drain COMES OUT!!!!! How's the lip and knee?
Candy, spidey may be one of God's creatures, but in MY book, the only good spider is a dead one! I hate them, and I think I can honestly say that they are the only creature I hate!

paula eagleholic said...

Good luck tomorrow, Sharon!

hedgie said...

Time for news, and then to see Couric's interview with Capt. "Sully". Think daughter is coming in a little while to type gd's report--her printer died and she can't print it at home, so grandma gets to do the honors! BBL.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Knee still hurts but getting better. The inside of my lip is still black but feeling better.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I spoke with Mits today. I hate that I missed BRS coming through Bluefield and Princeton!

paula eagleholic said...

Gonna watch 60 minutes...Capt Sulley of the US Airways flight that landed in the Hudson is on tonight!

ceil said...

Good evening everyone. Jim and I thank you for the anniversary wishes and cards. In 5 years when we celebrate 50 maybe have a party at NCTC. Will invite Belle and Lib. We had a nice quiet anniversary. Good breakfast and supper.
Sharon hope drains come out tomorrow.
Glad Capt. Gene is feeling better.
Lolly hope you feel well soon. Norma hope you are feeling better. Pleasant dreams everyone.

ceil said...

Missed it last night. Saw most of it today but a story called Gifted hands the Ben Carson story. It was on TNT.

carolinabeachmom said...

Hedgie, I don't like any type of insects or spiders.

Off the eggs all three of them

carolinabeachmom said...

And with a wiggle wiggle, back on them again.

carolinabeachmom said...

SHARON Sure hope things turn out ok for you tomorrow. We will all be saying a little prayer for you.

I was supposed to make out my valentines for our class today, and still haven't done it. So guess I had better get with it and get started.

You all have a pleasant evening and a good sleep. Tomorrow brings a new day with new beginnings.

Mits said...

I watched that movie too, Ceil, he is a remarkable man.

magpie said...

* just signing on, with a late Happy Wedding Anniversary to Ceil and Jim *

Best Wishes for Many, Many More xox ☺ ♥ ♥

magpie said...

Possum is moving around at Pix Pa

deb said...

Eagle calling, wonder who she is hollering at.

Sharon, good luck tomorrow, I hope the drain comes out.

deb said...

Up and doing a wing stretch.

deb said...

All three eggs in view, turning them , nope right back down.

magpie said...

Missed the stretch, while catching up on today's posts and watching the possum :(

I posted one picture of Belle when she was awake very early with me this morning, on the Momsters album page, cannot see the eggs though on that pic...


Hi Evening People

magpie said...

Medevac flying out for City Hospital now...heading South, probably to Winchester...

magpie said...

I am not so sure that IS a possum now, looks like a CAT

magpie said...

Nope it's a possum head

"Oppossums are very clean animals and groom themsleves much like a cat does..." (from the WV DNR Calendar pages )

I think he has left now...

deb said...

I didn't see what it was on my screen, it moved to the back of the cam area.

magpie said...

Are we still at one egg at Valmont Deb ?

magpie said...

That Pix cam will play with one's mind! It surely does some kind of a rewind, one moment nothing on the screen, then sometimes you can see what you already saw! There must be a David Copperfield involved with that cam !

magpie said...

I will finally get to see some daytime nest cam views Monday ☺
and check out Okla, and Norfolk, Maine, Caltrans....

deb said...

It does that to me all the time, too Margy. We were still at one egg at Valmont and OK earlier, haven't checked tonight at Valmont.

magpie said...

Wonderful new updates to the Eagle Cam Web Log by Lisa on the BWE page

magpie said...

Very early this morning, Deb, when I was up for work, I saw the egg alone at Valmont for a little bit, guess the parent goes out for food overnight

magpie said...

The Eagle Festival in March at Blackwater sounds very tempting....
It's also very interesting to read about the numbers of Bald Eagle Nests in the area there...a really informative article all the way around....☺

deb said...

There was a mouse in the nest box today, you could see its tail.

magpie said...

I don't care much for the wispy thing that must be part of Boris's empire at our nest, but it does let you know when the cam is frozen!

magpie said...

Missed the mouse, maybe Monday I will see one at Valmont

I'm going to disappear before the split.

Sounds like a nice day for many on here today...sure Hope Jill was able to view some Birthday Greetings!

Glad the Captain is better, and that Mema Jo got to visit with the Germany gals ! ☺ ♥

TTFN be back later...xo

magpie said...

maybe not...Belle seems to be sort of awake...

magpie said...

egg is alone at Valmont and something is lurking at Pix

Mema Jo said...

Jill did get her ecards and sent a Thank You for them!

I bought a new box of Oatmeal Creme Pies!
Could not resist.

I may disappear before the split also.
SHARON Best of everything tomorrow
loLove ♥

NatureNut said...

Hi to the few that are here!Been Panda napping a couple times today! That's what happens when you stay up til 4 messing w/'puter.
Been checking Momster albums,etc. Finally found your pics, Margy on Wanda's Wishes! Beautiful shots. But that's not Frank w/me at dinner. He has no hair! Must be Dana's hubby! ☺
I didn't get to check OK today & was wondering about the egg. Did anyone see her s9it on it?
