Thanks Steve I will go get the rest.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks for the update, Steve. That is certainly good news!!

paula eagleholic said...

And Norfolk has their first egg!!

Costume Lady said...

Hi, Glo, thank you steve for that report. Hope we can get sound back before our little ones hatch.

paula eagleholic said...

I put Norfolk Pic on EM blog!

Steve Chase said...

the sound should come back on with these improvements. We switched it off because of the bandwidth issues that you have all seen.

Red said...

Paula, I think Jo is talking about the update date thats shown below the live cam view.

Red said...

Thanks Steve for the new thread.

floralgirl said...

Thanks Steve:)

paula eagleholic said...

BTW, that Feb 10th date below the live cam means the last day a change was made to the webpage.

paula eagleholic said...

Boy Norfolk Mom really throws herself on that egg, doesn't she!

Egg roll our nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Steve. Looking forward to having the sound back!

paula eagleholic said...

Norfolk would be nice with sound, too.

Mema Jo said...

WOWSIE WOWSIE WOWSIE
Hurray for NGB Pray for your clutch to be successful this season


Thank you Paula for the heads-up!
I was talking about what Mits mention under the Live Feed of updated 2/10/09.When you refresh you may still get the grey block before cam pic.

Thanks Steve and we'll await more info!

Mema Jo said...

Awesome pic on your blog Paula
Wow! That is really good.

Costume Lady said...

I guess it must be the positioning of the camera, but NBG egg looks hugh, compared to Belle's.

Mema Jo said...

Going to hear the wind and the crunchies
and the wing flapping again! And also our eagle voices!
YEAH the dogs, geese and trains!

AWESOME!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Wow, I hope it makes everything work better.

YEAH NORFOLK!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

My IE keeps freezing up and driving me nuts!

It is wonderful to be draNO!!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Wanda - I think our eggs look large enough! They are the size of a tennis ball, just in an egg shape! :)

deb said...

Congrats to Norfolk, get off that egg so I can see it!

I am glad you are now draNO, too, Sharon.

Mits said...

BOOYAH FOR NBG:)!!!!!

Mits said...

great pic, Paula, already sent it to Suz, so she sees it first thing tomorrow.

deb said...

We had a nice walk, too bad the #$@#$ wind is blowing, but this is SD. I saw a Bluebird today!! Also saw flocks of geese winging their way into the area. A lot of the river is still frozen, but lots more open water than there has been.

Mits said...

cute shot of eagle now at NBG, she looks so content.

Mits said...

there is the egg at NBG

deb said...

It looks like she is looking down at the egg, MOVING NOW. There it is!

Mits said...

lol.....she does throw herself down onto the egg.....PLOP!!!!!

Mits said...

Glad you had a nice walk, Deb....Wanda says the wind is coming our way.

T-Bird said...

thanks Steve-I can't wait for the sound

deb said...

The wind was horrible yesterday, sustained at 30, not sure what the gusts were. Today not so bad, 15 with gusts in the 20's, but it is cool to walk into it. We headed back into the trees instead of walking by the water.

Your forecast sounds worse.

Mits said...

Accu Weather Warning.....for Thursday........



High wind occurring on Feb 12. Maximum sustained 27 mph (maximum gust 42 mph).

floralgirl said...

Thursday
Partly sunny and windy. Highs in the lower 50s. West winds 25 to 30 mph with gusts to 55 mph.

glo said...

Ha Ha lets see the old phrase was chopped liver. Oh well it is beautiful and very exciting. so is our new thread and Steve's news as well.

Mits said...

wing stretch

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Wow, all kinds of happenings!!! YEAH RAH for the NBG egg!! Can't wait to see how our new diggs are when we move!

floralgirl said...

OOps, hadn't refreshed, see forecast for Thurs had already been posted-

Mits said...

or umbrella

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Wow, look at our nest. What is happening?

Mits said...

rain in OK, they had a tornado touch done in Edmond, OK

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Guess she was just stretching her wings, flipped me right out!

Mits said...

Megan, I can go to 4 different weather sites and get 4 different versions.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I see the Norfolk Egg!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Beautiful!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

What a great shot that is, up close and personal.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Up close shot of the egg at NBG.

Mits said...

also like that you can put it on full screen

Mits said...

what is it with these eagles keeping their backs to the cams this year?????:)

paula eagleholic said...

They're catching on, Mits ;)

paula eagleholic said...

Look at Belle - she is laying picture perfect.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

She is always picture perfect, even when doing a poop shoot!

Mits said...

they must have sent some sort of memo out to each other.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL Mits....beware the lurkers.

Catch ya'll later.

Mits said...

snowing at Oregon nest, all covered up again

Mits said...

roflmbo, Paula, see ya:)

Mits said...

nice night lights at the new Maine nest.

floralgirl said...

Dad has just arrived at NBG!

floralgirl said...

He didn't stay long, practically sat on females head, then flew out.

Mits said...

Good thing I refreshed the stupid cam, was wondering why it was not getting dark....

deb said...

I was just checking out Judy from the Maine Forum's egglist and the next new nest we should see an egg in is West End. That is assuming the eagles follow last year, so far that hasn't worked out too well. :)

deb said...

Eagle in LW.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

My post disappeared into no man's land. Gonna get a shower and go out for a bit. See ya'll later!

deb said...

Gone already at LW.

Mema Jo said...

West End has been doing a lot of nestorations! Next looks ready!

Mits said...

poor eagle in OK, is in for a big storm headed its way.

Mits said...

both eagles at OK

deb said...

Update on Volcano:
2009-02-10 14:08:11
Unrest at Redoubt Volcano continues, though no eruption has yet occurred. Volcanic tremor is ongoing with variable amplitudes. Today AVO personnel are in the field to make visual observations and improve the monitoring network.

Mits said...

just one now, may have switched

Mits said...

thanks, Deb for the updates.....

Mits said...

eagle mantling at OK, looks like some lightning,,,there was a tornado vortex, to the northwest of Stillwater.

deb said...

I have been searching Google maps and Sooner Lake is directly north of Stillwater, about 20 miles, in case you haven't already done the same thing.

Mits said...

eagle at WE

Mits said...

thanks, Deb had not gotten that far yet..

Mits said...

weatherunderground radar gives a good view of the storms

floralgirl said...

Still 45° here, was just outside, there are nightcrawlers everwhere.

Mits said...

city girl here.......are they worms?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yes, Mits, that is yucky worms!

Mits said...

yuck.....

Mits said...

They are not allowed here

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yeah right! I was trying to catch some one day for Daddy to fish with. I used a pillow case to cover my hand cause I wasn't touching them yucky things. Once, I was going to be brave and bait the hook with one, it moved and I screamed and dropped it.

Mema Jo said...

PIC PA Woods - buck there now on regular

BUT earlier at salt lick was a dead carcass being investigated by the raccoons! YUCK!

Mits said...

how come they didn't remove that carcass?

Mits said...

Sharon, I have always blamed my son's early birth on a slug...stepped on one in my bare feet,,,,,yuck, got so mad went in a got a can of beer and drowned him in it....2 days later Kev was born 3 weeks early

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Oh wow, what a story. Slugs are nasty, that is for sure.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Raining at the nest. I have to remind myself all the time that they are not sitting there feeling sorry for themselves, saying "woe is me" because they have to keep the eggs covered in the rain. No human emotions!

Mema Jo said...

EGG ROLL OUR NEST

Mema Jo said...

Position change - Tail at Two

Mits said...

say to yourself...they have done this before....and they are better to be free, and do this naturally...wish the pandas and other endangered species were so lucky

Mits said...

is her butt facing 2 o'clock?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Looks like it.

Mits said...

our temp has actually gone up in the last hour, now 56°

Mits said...

just checking to see if my cam was working

Mits said...

ok see a car light

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, my *&(^$ cam was frozen but she is still in the butt-facing 2 o'clock.

Mits said...

both owls at the Starr Ranch

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, Mits, your comment just made me realize I have been watching them for this, the 4th year. What I have learned since then...

deb said...

If you still have your OK cam open, every once in awhile, the lightening lights it up.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Wow, this is our 4th season, huh? My, my, my.

Mits said...

yes, saw that.

deb said...

Of course, now that I posted that, no more strikes.

Mits said...

ok, I may be a city girl ,but honestly, I know what it means when another bird scrambles on top of another bird.....obviously the people that watch owls don't...from the Starr Ranch site...
January 31, 2009 There are 6 eggs as of tonight. Still less than in 2007, yet more than in 2008. First egg should hatch around Feb. 20. She could stop laying now or lay a few more. Some of you have emailed me about male/female interaction, e.g. he comes in with or without prey, scrammbles on top of her for 10-20 seconds and then is off. This is copulation. It happens often approaching and during the egg laying period. Also: Standing on one leg. They do this all the time. Apparently this is more comforatable than standing on two, or more likely we really don't know why... Point is, they are OK. There's nothing wrong with the "hidden" leg.

Mits said...

yeah time sure goes by fast.

Mits said...

what was it when the cam first started...60 second refreshes....and now look where we are:).

floralgirl said...

Ha ha, city girl, want me to bring a jar of nightcrawlers with me Thursday??
Worms are a gardeners greatest friend...

deb said...

You do have to feel sorry for some people, don't you, not to know anything about nature and birds. A friend of mine's daughter is in Africa for one semester. She has no interest in seeing the wildlife--I feel bad for her, someday she will realize what a wonderful chance she missed.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

At the very beginning, it was 5 second refreshes and then they changed it to 30 seconds and I got so bored with it that I just about stopped watching. Man oh man, what I would have missed out on.

Mits said...

why yes, they are, but just the same, I don't like them:) Not afraid of them, kinda fascinated by them, but I like dogs and pandas better...

floralgirl said...

How on earth could anyone go to Africa and not want to see the wildlife?? chance of a lifetime, and soo much of it is disapearing..

Mits said...

that is sad....I would like to go there just to see the wildlife or the Galapagos Islands.

deb said...

I have tried to convince her dad to encourage it, no, that isn't why she went to Africa. I would think the school would include an excursion, that is mandatory to get them a rounded education.

Mits said...

looks like it might be raining at Caltran.

Mits said...

you bet...

deb said...

My sister and my niece have both gotten to go. My sister went to see the wildlife, my niece went on a mission trip and made sure she saw the animals.

Mits said...

eagle up at caltran

paula eagleholic said...

Boy, that girl is really missing out!

Yes, we changed to 30 seconds last year...that sucked...and still does!!

I do love the live cam...when it's working! ♥

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Going out for a little while but I will be back! :)

paula eagleholic said...

NBG has the nightlight on...Mama sitting up a lot tonight.

Well folks, off to work on taxes...

BBL

floralgirl said...

oh... when I had dial up I couldn't even watch the live cam, you guys would talk about them flying in and out of the nest and I couldn't even see it.

Mits said...

Caltrans' is showing off her lovely eggs

Mits said...

taxes,,,,you pay taxes, didn't think we had to do that anymore;)

floralgirl said...

I thought you only had to pay if you got caught not paying...

Mits said...

still waiting for jubby to call and say he is on his way home. I'm getting hungry

Mits said...

me too???

Mits said...

yippe, just called, so dinner in about a half hour....he's messing up my Tuesday night TV schedule, good thing we have a TV in the kitchen.

Mema Jo said...

Talking about tv night - yep! it is Tues
Alexis just got picked up by her Dad - she ate dinner with us and then played most of the time.

BBILW (probably during commercials)

Mits said...

both eagles at Caltran

paula eagleholic said...

LOL...already paid in...looking for a refund!!

have to get them done early to file FAFSA form for college...

hedgie said...

Nightcrawlers...hmmm...used to buy them to feed the toads when it wasn't the right time of year to find earthworms and crickets. Could handle earthy's ok, but used tweezers for the nightcrawlers!
Put the finishing touches on taxes today and e-filed.

hedgie said...

Congrats to Norfolk!
My oh my....tornadoes already in OK. Saw a grasshopper today, as well as a spidey, and heard the robins singing....sure wish it WAS spring! Afraid we are going to pay for this stretch!

hedgie said...

Paula, you have mail.

hedgie said...

Never mind...your answer just came thru'!!!

hedgie said...

Got my call from the auto warranty scam this evening--was on a call w/ my daughter, and was on corded phone, so no caller ID, so flashed over...told him off AND registered complaint with FFC!!!

Mema Jo said...

NCIS had a very good story. I didn't have it all figured out - had a few surprises!

Now my Mentalist show is on

Mits said...

NCIS was good.

Red said...

NCIS is my favorite TV show now that Grissom left CSI.

Mits said...

Belle is jumping all over the nest....

Mits said...

yeah, Red, don't like that Grissom left, not the same show

Mits said...

ok settled back down, but she was really jumping

Mits said...

BWO.........
Nest Update

02/10/09:
We've had more immature bald eagles on the platform.

We hear from a cam watcher on the scene that yesterday an adult bald eagle chased an immature off the platform. The adult was probably defending its perching spot.

magpie said...

I know it is an optical illusion but it sure looks like Belle has two heads! Just missed the nest-hopping routine :(

One thing we can thank Spidey for...we can tell if the cam is frozen or live...

Howdy Evening People ☺

magpie said...

I've read just far enough back to see that Norfolk has an egg ! Oh boy....

magpie said...

I sure am glad I washed my car yesterday, so now I can see all the new wet grey stuff on there that today's rain brought onto it -

but I know we need rain, so It is What It Is ☺

hedgie said...

Anyone watch The Mentalist? Love Simon Baker. Cho was pretty cool when he got his mo-jo on, huh?

magpie said...

TWO Owls at Valmont !

hedgie said...

Taped NCIS...still have to catch it. Without a Trace next.
I agree....CSI not the same w/o Grissom.

magpie said...

I have noticed owls do a lot of HP-ing even after the eggs hatch, continual bonding....

whoops second one just left, wonder if I missed some HP before I clicked on that one

Mema Jo said...

Without a Trace is next.

BBL

magpie said...

Belle is stirring

magpie said...

Well she is awake...at least that second head disappeared

magpie said...

NO egg rolling or anything, now she is settled into her feathers again.

Great Picture of Norfolk parent with egg, Paula !

Red said...

Well this boy is going to bed. See ya tomorrow.

magpie said...

Nice close up of the Norfolk eagle in the nest now, she is up and the nest is swaying...

magpie said...

Verrry strange, when I have Valmont open and then open up Norfolk, the Norfolk view fills the Valmont site...I noticed that this morning and thought I was just doing something wrong !
I guess I AM doing something wrong...

magpie said...

But I reset Valmont and now I have both like they should be ...

magpie said...

Norfolk Eagle just standing there, staring...

magpie said...

Whoa, when I click on Starr cam Barn Owls, I can hear voices skipping through the static...what's up with that ?

Costume Lady said...

Turning in a little early tonight.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL

magpie said...

I can tell there are some really good television shows on...
I am the Lone Swordfish....

magpie said...

I guess Norfolk parent is sorta roosting, not really standing, but not ooched down in the nest like Belle is

magpie said...

Sure do miss Ceil
I can't believe a major provider like Verizon has not got this problem figured out for her....
Sigh.....

magpie said...

Hedgie :
You heard Robins, you lucky gal!
Did you see them?
I am still watching for them.
The little pink house finches have been chirping up a pretty song here lately though... ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫

magpie said...

Belle is moving

deb said...

Egg roll!

magpie said...

A wing stretch and an egg roll, I saw three eggs for a milli-second and that was it ! She's still awake, looking around...not settled down yet

magpie said...

Eagle at Norfolk...just does not look settled in at all. Seems kind of strange to me.

I hate to leave while Belle is still thinking about something but I have got to skee-daddle. Work day Wednesday for me :(
Will miss all the daytime fun

Good Night Eagle ♀ and ♂ Folks, Peace, Love and Prayers xo ♥

magpie said...

'Night Deb...enjoyed having another smiling face on here...will see everyone's late night posts, at 4:30 in the morning ☺

Mema Jo said...

I see our eagle is awake watching Spidey's web

deb said...

I just checked and it is 60 in NBG, so she may not need to be on the egg right now. They do slow down incubating with the first egg, so that is probably what is happening.

Mits said...

oh sorry, Margy, Tuesday is a pretty good TV night....have a good day tomorrow...Belle has been restless tonight

deb said...

Belle is up again.

Mema Jo said...

Tues is really the only evening I hit the TV - 3 good programs in a row!

I SEE 3 BEAUTIFUL EGGS RIGHT NOW

BEAUTIFUL EGG ROLL

ALL 3 ARE VISIBLE

Mema Jo said...

Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle

It is a Done Deal

Mema Jo said...

Deb, any chance you caught a video?
You could see them briefly very clearly.

Mits said...

Good Night.....BRS still waiting for his load.

NatureNut said...

Been fooling around with pictures---put 2 Park eagle sets on blog.

Hooray for NBG!!!!
Gonna watch news. Good night to all those hitting the hay...;>)

hedgie said...

No, Margy, didn't see the robins, but sure did hear them!
Good night, fowl friends. Sleep well. See you in the morning. Good day to those who must work! You know what the rest of us will be up to!

Mema Jo said...

I'm heading in to La La Land also.

Good Night to All
Pleasant dreams & restful sleep
Prayers for everyone's needs being said

(((hugs))) ♥ ♥ ♥

deb said...

Jo, I have video from earlier tonight. I am editing it now, so I can post it.

deb said...

Loretta, beautiful eagles!

movin said...



**GOOD NIGHT**

magpie said...

* Good Morning Eagle People *
Belle just did a wing stretch, egg roll, wiggle and is back roosting.
Norfolk eagle seems to be resting soundly on her new egg too ☺

Sorry I missed everyone last night, just playing at a different time when all the good shows were on! Sounds like everyone was enjoying themselves ☺ ☺

Heading to work today, hope it is a good day for everyone!

Deb's and Loretta's New Photos are wonderful !


Lolly: Hope Joseph is doing better today...missed you yesterday
