What's the latest from our reporters?

Mema Jo said...

If this egg shouldn't come within the next 2 hours it could be the second year in a row that Sandra has been honored on her b-day if we get the 3rd one after midnight!

paula eagleholic said...

She's bound to hit someone's birthday!

Mema Jo said...

Mits - I signed out of my hotmail and signed in again.. Still no emails..
Last one I had was from Loretta & then the Caring bridge about Mason.

Mema Jo said...

We are so intense in what we report that I didn't even know I SPLIT!

New Catalina Report



Good evening, egg-watchers. Still only 2, I read, huh?

Speaking of reading, here's the link to this week's Catalina Report.

We are getting rain in So Cal. It's been a steady, if moderate, downpour for a couple of hours at least... I was Panda napping for part of it, so I'm not exactly sure how long.

Keep the eyes peeled ... maybe I shouldn't say that. If she does lay a third egg ... which she's done for the last three years .. it will still be there in the morning. And we will be better able to appreciate it with some sleep.

Mema Jo said...

I cannot get my Still Cam to come back on
Anyone else have it up with the pic

Mine went black for those 30 secs but then didn't come back up.. Then I get a page loading error when I try to sign it on........

Live feed is doing well...

Mema Jo said...

Don't try to refresh either cam

System is sure overloaded and you will lose you cam as I just did.........

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, I can't get the cam back on...

Costume Lady said...

Watched Grey's and now PP...what's with all these people having seizures? It's grossing me out.

movin said...

OOPS! It looked like the live pic was frozen (maybe), so I refreshed it.

But FireFox says it can't find it now and suggests some other sites I might like...!!!!

floralgirl said...

My still cam went black screen, too. She just tucked her head back now.

Red said...

Good egg watching Y'all. 5:30 AM comes early so I'm off to bed. TTFN.

NatureNut said...

Uh oh, I'm having trouble w/Still cam. It was black w/red X, brought it up again & after couple refreshes, black again. Think we're busy?? LOL

Mema Jo said...

I am without either cam :(
DON'T TRY TO REFRESH
Keep what you have up

floralgirl said...

Keep trying, I just opened live cam page up right away.

paula eagleholic said...

Mine's back on...head tucked back

Mema Jo said...

Helen I sent you an email
See if when you reply if I receive it
Thanks

I feel lost without my cams.......

floralgirl said...

And still cam is back, too. And don't worry, right now she is sleeping...

Mema Jo said...

Thank you Megan
I tried Live feed and mine came right up also

I'm back in the game Whoo Hoo

deb said...

My cams are both okay, so I am not touching them. I watched her tuck her head in, first on still cam, then on live feed.

Lolly said...

I lost my still cam too. Have the live feed up, she has tucked her head back under her wing.

Lolly said...

LOL Boy we were all panicking!!!

deb said...

Head is back up on both cams.

Costume Lady said...

Head back up...she is really restless. Driving me crazy.
Back to PP.

Mits said...

sent e-mail back to you, Jo....my cam shows her head up, must be frozen.

movin said...


Mine's back too.

She has her head up again, which in those temps, make me believe she might be in the process of producing the third egg now.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

Mits said...

maybe not, if the rest of you see her head up

Mema Jo said...

Helen Sent reply to your email

Mema Jo said...

Both cams - head up

hedgie said...

I lost both, too....no luck yet getting them back!

Just Vicky said...

And what is the latest news reporters?

Mema Jo said...

TWO AND HOLDING

Mema Jo said...

Did anyone pass the popcorn yet???

deb said...

She is up! Two eggs.

glo said...

Good evening all eagle eyes. I have live cam and head is up but my head is going to be lying down in about an hour. Took tonight off as have early am Vet visit with Dex so will work Fri overnight instead. bELLE IS NOW UP TOO.

Donnie said...

deb said...

Stretching wings.

Mema Jo said...

Hope someone is recording
Only see 2

glo said...

Beautiful wing stretch.

Mema Jo said...

turn it around Belle

deb said...

Back down.

Mema Jo said...

wiggle wiggle

floralgirl said...

Well, what a stretch that was. She has been on those eggs a long time today.

Lolly said...

Wow! That was exciting, but I saw only two eggs.

Donnie said...

that was a big stroll around the nest... Streachhh

magpie said...

Jumping on and seeing 200 + more comments make's one heart flutter, I just did a real quick speed read and do not see the big words 3RD EGG - so it seems, still at two
Hi Vicky !

Good night, 4:30 is going to come early but pretty sure I will wake up wide awake..

God Bless Us Every One,
Prayers for all, friends, families, pets and all wildlife, and those who have traveled ahead of us
xo ☺ ♥

magpie said...

and in the time it took to do all that I missed the stretch :(

Mema Jo said...

What about that popcorn?

floralgirl said...

Pass it!!!!

Lolly said...

Nite Margy! Sweet eagle dreams!

hedgie said...

Tried rebooting, but still no cam. Argh!

Mema Jo said...

Hedgie - earlier we all lost our when we tried to refresh.. It did come back up after many tries.......

Mema Jo said...

Head tucked.......

Lolly said...

Interesting....I can not get my pop up cam to come up.

hedgie said...

Whew...cam back up!
Night, Margy. Hope you have a good shift tomorrow! Sounds like a sicky worked today, plus a couple of officers sounded bad, too. It must be going around!

hedgie said...

Jo, you mentioned recording....how is that done?

Mema Jo said...

That is done by Deb & Paula & Glo

I'll have to leave that question to them
I've never tried.. Don't have the right program.

deb said...

Lynn, unless you have a Mac, my answer won't help you.

paula eagleholic said...

No popcorn here. Chocolate pudding.

floralgirl said...

Lisa mentioned Camstudio.org the other day, you can download it free.

Lolly said...

No pop corn or choc pudding here. Having a ginless G&T.

paula eagleholic said...

Lynn, it records what is streaming on your desktop, either on WMP or Real player, or in your browser, like ours is.

You also need to be able to process the file to a format that either youtube or photobucket will accept if you want to post it online for others....I use windows movie maker for that.

I also use screen virtuoso. Some other programs that you can pay for are Snagit and Fraps.

Mits said...

you have a good memory, Megan....

paula eagleholic said...

Also, you need a fairly decent computer to handle the recording and playing at the same time...mine struggles...

Mits said...

Paula, you have mail...

floralgirl said...

Nah, I just saved the site when she mentioned it. I haven't even attempted to figure out how to use it.

Mema Jo said...

50 mins or so and the 5th is a done deal
We may have the 3rd when we look in the morning.. or anyone up after midnight may find it.
OR we could have 2 cuties this year!!

Mits said...

I was going to, but sometimes just trying to watch the cam is frustrating to me....need to keep the BP lowered:).....just realized today is the one year anniversary of my hernia surgery.....booyah, hernia free for 1 year:)

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, we might have just two.

floralgirl said...

SHe's up-

paula eagleholic said...

NIce roll....

wvgal_dana said...

egg roll

wvgal_dana said...

see eggs

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, how about that Mits.

Mema Jo said...

You think Belle is telling us to all
go to bed - show is a done deal?
lol

wvgal_dana said...

Just had my night snack..ice tea and pretzels nuggets lite seasoning honey mustard and onion. They were good usually don't like them too heavily seasoned.

wvgal_dana said...

Just heard on news around 26 dogs all pedigree different kinds. Roaming tonight in cold in roadway. One was hit by car. They caught all but one. That one they are worried might not make it through the night. They think from a puppy mill (one owner) just let them out.

Mema Jo said...

I am so glad you can say that Mits!
Time really has gone by this past year.

I have been playing solitaire whenever she had her head down..helps with the BP

Mits said...

oh me, oh my,,,,2 is fine with me:):):)

Mema Jo said...

Is that local news, Dana?

Mema Jo said...

Going to get dressed for bed but I will return to check out Belle

Mits said...

looking around

Mits said...

tucked head

NatureNut said...

I just had THIN slice of key lime pie. Popcorn used to be my all time fave, but started breaking teeth, so had to stop eating it.Found some hull less (already popped) on way back from PA, but can't find it here or online. Snyders of Berlin.
Gotta clean up kitchen---wait for me, Belle!!

wvgal_dana said...

No was on CBS channel 9 hubby thinks someplace in Virginia.

Night

floralgirl said...

That dog story is on the Fredericknewspost.com site.

Mema Jo said...

I'm still here
Playing solitaire but not for much longer

Donnie said...

I've told everyone I've seen today about the events of the day.
Everyone here has made me smile all day. Can't ask for more then that.
Belle is asleep; I'm going to take the hint
Goodnight all
see ya in the morning>

Mema Jo said...

Good Night Donnie
Thanks for being part of all of this
excitement!

hedgie said...

I heard that report about the dogs on Ch. 9, too, Dana, but didn't catch where it was. There was something in the paper this am about a bunch rescued in Frederick yesterday, I think it was.
Heading for bed...early retiree breakfast.
Fearing that if something doesn't happen tonight, we will only be having two.
Thanks for hints about recording...will have to check it out tomorrow.
Good night all. Prayers for all in need.

Costume Lady said...

Good night, Donnie. I'm not far behind you.

Mits said...

this is from Channel 4's website....

FREDERICK, Md. -- Someone abandoned almost two dozen dogs in Frederick.

Since midnight, 22 dogs have been found wandering. Another was hit by a car and killed.

Animal control officers believe the pups all came from the same place, but they don't know where that place is.

The dogs were in average health. They are small breeds and hadn't been spayed or neutered.

floralgirl said...

There are eight poodle mixes, three cairn terriers, a cairn terrier mix, a Yorkie, a dachshund, a rat terrier, a Pekingese, a Chihuahua, two terrier mixes, and four Shih Tzus mixes.

Channel 7's website..

FREDERICK, Md. - Animal Control officers have rounded up 23 dogs found wandering in the county.

Harold Domer, director of Animal Control, says 13 dogs were found Thursday morning on Sundays Lane, and 10 more were dropped off in Walkersville.

Officials think the dogs had been kept indoors. Domer says none had injuries from being in the cold. The dogs are believed to be owned by the same person and thought to be two to eight years ago. ABC 7 Talkback:

The dogs are all small and include poodle mixes, cairn terriers, a Yorkie, a dachshund, a rat terrier, a Pekingese and a Chihuahua.

Domer says authorities are concerned that the animals were left in the frigid weather.

Costume Lady said...

It is now 2-6-09. I think we will see the third egg in the morning:)

Lolly said...

I'm up for probably another couple of hours. Anyone else?

hedgie said...

Oh...one more thing...two really!!

Happy Birthday, Sandra!

And to Chrissy's Frank, too!

Costume Lady said...

LOLLY, you need to take my place. I have been up since 5am. Looong day.

Lolly said...

Nite Wanda! Sweet dreams!

Lolly said...

Nite Paula! Let's hope for three in the morning!

deb said...

Belle is up.

deb said...

Still two eggs, unless she learned how to lay an egg in her sleep. :) I didn't get a good look at them this roll.

Mema Jo said...

Head was up - Now tucked in under wing

Mema Jo said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU AND MANY MANY MORE

Mema Jo said...

Seeing the tucked head under her wing I
will bid good night to all!

Pleasant dreams and restful sleep
Prayers for everyone being said.
(((HUGS))) ♥ ♥ ♥

Lolly said...

Nite Jo! Sweet dreams!

deb said...

I am headed to bed, also.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SANDRA!

Lolly said...

She was just up. Saw only two eggs.

NatureNut said...

Moving around--got up--2 eggs,back down.

Lolly said...

Tucked her head back after a moment. Was just wondering who would here me yelling if I saw three!

NatureNut said...

Yes, it's after midnight!
HAPPY B'DAY, SANDRA!!!!☺ ☺ ☺

NatureNut said...

Night All ☺

movin said...

Well, her head is up again. She's so restless it looks like there's another one due.

I was just thinking, in the three previous years I've watched this nest, I don't believe I've ever seen Belle laying an egg.

I've seen her just before and not long after, but I don't think I've seen her doing what I could say was laying an egg...maybe they're airlifted in by the Fish & Game Dept. You think??


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

Lolly said...

Belle is awake and looking around.

Lolly said...

could be! LOL

NatureNut said...

She's getting up--is that a 3rd egg??

Lolly said...

She was up turning the TWO eggs.

Lolly said...

Loretta, I thought there were only two eggs.

movin said...

Well, I think I only saw 2 eggs again. They were rolled into that central glare, and then they rolled back just before she set down again. I THINK it was still two.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

NatureNut said...

Nuts, she's back down.One I saw good was toward the center. I thought the 2 were next to each other near the front of the well.
Maybe it got moved on the last roll.

NatureNut said...

Oh well, it is what it is.
Hope she goes back to sleep, so I can! LOL

movin said...

At first I thought I saw something that looked like a third, but she didn't turn it, and it wasn't with the two that rolled back to the bottom of the egg cup.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

Lolly said...

Sitting here laughing at our interest in this bird so far away!

NatureNut said...

Head back under wing!
Now I can go to bed when I win a Solitaire game!
Good Night Egg Watchers!! ;>)

Lolly said...

Head down and going back to sleep.

Lolly said...

She was up again but never saw the eggs.

NatureNut said...

Head back under wing...zzzzzz

Lolly said...

Head back tucked under her wing.

Lolly said...

Belle is restless. She has been awake and looking around.

movin said...

I was just looking at the weather channel for Shep. town ... 11° !!

Hope that's not what's making her restless.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

Lolly said...

Brrr!!!!

Lolly said...

Belle is awake. Her eyes are glowing in the dark. Cam is working great! LOL However, I have to go to bed.

Good morning early birds!

Happy Birthday SANDRA! I wish for you an EAGLE EGG!

Lolly said...

One last peek and she tucked her head. Thank you Belle!

movin said...

OK, Lolly. Have a good one.

I think it will be there in the morning yet if she lays the 3rd one. So.....

**GOOD NIGhT**

**EVERYBODY**

magpie said...

* Good Morning *
Belle just switched ends, exposed the egg cup briefly, I saw only two for sure, but it is really hard to see clearly when she does her thing so quickly.

magpie said...

* Happy Birthday Sandra *

Hope this is your Best Birthday Ever, filled to the brim with all your favorite things xo ☺ ♥

magpie said...

And a * Happy Birthday * to "Mr. Chrissy," aka FRANK from your overseas friends across the Pond...xox ☺ ♥

magpie said...

Belle was just up again and switched ends, rolled, wiggled and plopped, I still saw only two clearly, but again it is so hard to tell, the cup looks kinda crowded.
See you all much much later today.
Hope it is a good day for everyone, and all birds and wildlife.

xo ☺

magpie said...

oh yes, a gentle reminder, Red for the Military today, it is Friday....

Costume Lady said...

HAVE A GOOD DAY, MARGY. I'LL HOLLER IF I SEE # 3.

magpie said...

Okay Wanda

Slip me an email, and I will check that first when I get home tonight, in case I have trouble logging in....

Thank You !! You have the baton, woman ! xoxo ☺ ♥

Costume Lady said...

Belle is sleeping so peacefully...I wonder where Lib is. They would be sooo much warmer if they slept together...Bet they never thought of that:) Tee Hee

Costume Lady said...

Belle is awake now, but not moving very much. It is 18°/

Costume Lady said...

Head back under wing. I don't think there is a 3rd egg...she is too calm to have 3 eggs underneath her:)

carolinabeachmom said...

She's up and I still only see two.

carolinabeachmom said...

She spread her wings while turning around and looking around and is just now standing there.Backing up from eggs and looking. And now back on eggs with a wiggle wiggle and facing 2 oclock.

floralgirl said...

She's up off eggs, a quick roll, I see two beautiful eggs- Big wing stretch- she's looking around- and wiggling back onto eggs, facing twoish...

carolinabeachmom said...

Onto work for the day. Happy Birthday Sandra. Hope you have a wonderful day. And also Happy Birthday to Chrissy's Frank. Hope she makes him a delicious dinner with a hugh cake.

WANDA See you and Margy were on, so good morning to you both, but have to get to work. Later

carolinabeachmom said...

And a good morning to you MEGAN. Have a good eagle egg watching day.

floralgirl said...

Later, Candy, have a good one...
Happy Birthday Sandra

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning! What is that hanging down in front of the cam this morning?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

It's gone now. Looked like a cord or something.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDRA!!!

hedgie said...

Whoever was sitting is up and away...looks like still only 2.

hedgie said...

Good morning!!
Hope it wasn't spidey you saw hanging there, Sissy!!!

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Just watched the switch. See two eggs and two gorgeous eagles. one adult now back onto the eggs.

Happy Birthday Sandra

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

No, it was a cord of some kind but, whatever it was, it is gone now.

Just Vicky said...

Happy Birthday Sandra!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Eagleland

I just read still 2 eggs.

Happy Birthday SANDRA

Mauley said...

Good Morning Everyone, and I thought I might be one of the first to sign in. Little Sister, you are a great up to the minute reporter! Paula, I think we all are obsessed. This is the day isn't it when we should get the other egg? I hope Belle doesn't wait too much longer. Is it just me and the love of the first little nestlings, or am I just thinking that Spunky, Big Boy and Ms In Between were actually nice to each other. It seems Spunky didn't take the abuse from Big Boy than little bit of fluff took from that Pecking Pearl. donna

Mauley said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDRA. MAY GOD BLESS YOU TODAY AND GIVE YOU MANY MORE HEALTHY HAPPY JOYFUL SPIRIT FILLED YEARS. LOVE DONNA

movin said...



**HAPPY BIRTHDAY**

**TO YA, SANDY**




C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

glo said...

I agree Donna I think overall Big Boy was less aggressive towards our "baby" than Pecky Pearl was. We even have a clip where Big Boy "lets"Spunky take some food away...with a bit of an effort but Spunky does get the food! OK Ok so Spunky also had earned his/her name over the weeks in the nest with the 2 older sibs as well. That little one did have spunk and it came in handy when needed for sure.

hedgie said...

Hear that Phelps has been suspended by the swimming sanctioning body for three months, and the sheriff in SC is talking about charging him...don't quite know how he can do that w/o physical evidence...hmmmmm. If he can pull that off, there sure are many other personalities who could be charged w/ something based on a photo! How 'bout Britney Spears and Janet Jackson for public exposure/nudity??!!!

movin said...

mAULEY, I think late Thursday-early Friday is the window for the third egg.

We all expected it to come in the night, but there's still some chance she will lay a third this morning.




C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

hedgie said...

Well, I'm off to finish getting ready for breakfast. See you Momsters and Dadsters this afternoon. Hope we have another egg by the time I get home! If not, bet we're only going to have 2 this year.
Once again...HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our SANDRA, and to Chrissy's Frank!

glo said...

Well since THC stays in your system for 30 days it seems it would be easy to decide whether or not he "did or did not inhale" it.

movin said...

Well, it's OK. Two eggs are the norm for our eagles.

L & B have been really phenomenal in recent years.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

I do want to say "THANK YOU "! To all Momsters and Dadsters that stayed awake or woke to give us a blow by blow reporting of the nest during the night.

Mauley said...

I'M WITH DANA THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION. IT WAS A BLESSING TO READ THE TRANSACTIONS FROM LAST NIGHT.

Costume Lady said...

I fell asleep on my watch! Bad Girl! Watching that nest with the big, infred spot in the middle of it is hypnotizing...I just drifted right off. I see I didn't miss anything. Do you suppose it has been too cold for our couple to wander off the eggs long enough for Hanky Panky? I believe that is necessary for a third egg;)

Costume Lady said...

Lolly, Loretta and Jim...YOU ARE GREAT EGG SITTERS! Thanks for your reports. ((Hugs))

wvgal_dana said...
