Anne-Marie said...

skeedos are thick. I am going to have to go around the yard and empty any standing water I can find. I really got bit.

Anne-Marie said...

EAGLE UP

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Was over at the food and then back to the egg cup!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And back in the cup.

deb said...

I don't know if I should get my hopes up or not, Sharon! It sure seemed that way to me.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I know, Deb. I just figure if we report exactly what we see, then we cannot go wrong.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I have the still pic up on my laptop and my desktop computer and sometimes I get different views on refreshes.

Red said...

I had a good view that time and only saw two eggs.

Anne-Marie said...

I have got to get something to eat. I forgot breakfast and lunch. BBL

Red said...

How can you forget breakfast and lunch? lol

Red said...

My stomach would be screaming by now.

paula eagleholic said...

I have 2 windows open also

paula eagleholic said...

I can forget breakfast, can't forget lunch...but when I get into doing something, sometimes lunch can come pretty late!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I forget a lot of things, but one thing I rarely forget to do is eat!

Red said...

I just posted the picture of two eggs I captured a bit ago. It's on Red's photos.

deb said...

I put some pictures up from today, Snow Geese and migrating eagles. One eagle nest!

deb said...

deb said...

floralgirl said...

Yeah, I see that.

deb said...

I did, but don't want to get too excited again.

Lolly said...

That looked like a dark spot on an egg, but I do not think we should try to guess anymore.

Mema Jo said...

Doing pretty well - Just remembered to eat dinner lol Kidding of course. When you sit around watching tv, reading and not doing much of anything - you get HUNGRY! Limiting my carbos.. & calories.

Mema Jo said...

Look at our eagle......... now

paula eagleholic said...

Mema Jo said...

Speaking of food, off to find some dinner.

Glad things are going well, Jo.

paula eagleholic said...

From BWE

03/13/09:
We've updated the Eagle Cam Web Log with a new post about growing eaglets, Great horned owls, and our YouTube channel.

Lolly said...

Jo, I have been getting Activia. I like the strawberry yogurt on strawberries and the vanilla yogurt on blackberries. It is my mid afternoon snack everyday. LOL I have Laurel eating it for her snack after school. She has lost 8 pounds recently. She is NOT overweight, but could slim up a little. She said I have been her inspiration.

Lolly said...

Wish the red in the nest was not so quite red. Yuk!

Yes, I liked Lib looking right at us. He was sending a message for sure!

Mema Jo said...

I have seen that one advertised. I am not a yogurt person but need to become one. Certain meds are raising my blood sugar...


Take care - I'll be back later

Lolly said...

I am seeing a lot more color on the cam!!! Love it!

Mits said...

chicks peeking out from down under at BWE

wvgal_dana said...

Dinner ready back later

Oh yes Paula your fish was really hungry....I fed them they really ate. ( :

UPDATE FROM NZ........

March 13
It certainly has been an enriching two weeks for our pandas! Monday a week ago, they were plowing through the snow on their bellies, with the hills of their habitat providing the momentum for adding in somersaults and rolls. The excitement of the snow carried over into wild tree climbing and swinging, then down to the ground to get coated again. By Thursday, the temperature had shifted from below freezing cold to the sunny 70s, and snow-frosted pandas morphed into giant, dirty, mud sliders.

At the beginning of this week we added new logs to Panda Yard 1. Tai Shan got very excited as he watched the crane lowering the giant limbs into the exhibit. So far Tai is the first one to have the opportunity to explore these new furnishings. A bit shy at first, caution was soon replaced with exploration. The logs will provide exercise and resting places, and even a back rest for eating bamboo.

All the pandas continue to shred and consume bamboo at their maximum amounts typical of this time of year. Tian Tian takes time away from eating to show the typical breeding season or rut behaviors of pacing, investigating Mei’s scent marks, and marking over them. We are now seeing similar behaviors in Tai as he matures. Mei Xiang is in her own world, reminding the neighboring males that she is definitely not interested in their existence with her moans. We all watch Ms. Mei and wait expectantly for any change.

We want to say a special thank you to Pandas Unlimited for the funds to enrich our panda exhibits.

Mits said...

2 new photos of Tai Shan on the page, he is getting to be a big boy

Mits said...

At Saline tonight.....



TONIGHT IS TOY NIGHT! TOY NIGHT STARTS AT 8:30 PM, EDT (UTC-04)

deb said...

I wish we could see if he brought food.

paula eagleholic said...

Another switch!

Who's on first?

Anne-Marie said...

I saw eggs but the glare was bad and I dont know how many

deb said...

If he did, she doesn't want it right now.

deb said...

I missed the switch, I don't know who's on first!

paula eagleholic said...

I think that's Lib on the eggs, now.

Mema Jo said...

GAME: Find the BlackWater eaglets lol

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, Under Mom!!

Mits said...

beautiful closeup of eagle at HI

Anne-Marie said...

I know it sounds weird but I do forget to eat and I still have a weight problem. when I was working I was reminded by the clock. Now I just get going doing what I do and forget. My stomach doesnt remind me until way over time.I feel better now.

Anne-Marie said...

I think your right Paula. Belle fans out more.

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Jo, I really do see one! They really blend in well.

Mema Jo said...

Hope the BlackWater Eagle Festival has a good turn out - it does call for rain..

Anne-Marie said...

My youngest is teasing me on facebook. Is eaglett a real word?

Mema Jo said...

I really think it is Anne Marie
Eaglet is the spelling I use.... I don't really say chick

And if you prove me wrong THEN we need to add it to the dictionary lol

Mema Jo said...


Proof of the word EAGLET

Mits said...

T-Bird said...

magpie said...

Anne-Marie Finney Water Nest link, did you get it?
They are 6 or 8 hours ahead of us, was 7 before time change now I can't remember which it is...
but sometime around 3 AM YOUR Time, daylight breaks over there.

T-Bird said...

later MemaJo, enjoy the recliner, take care of you

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, that BW festival is tomorrow, was just thinking it was next weekend!

Taking a break, trying to get chores done before I head down the road tomorrow morning...spending the weekend in Mom's basement again, so I won't be around again til Sunday night.

paula eagleholic said...

Boy, that Saline crew is getting a feast, I'd love some of that potato soup.

glo said...

Well this has the makings of a very exciting weekend 30 secs at a time or a very long weekend. I don't at all like long weekends. Since I work tonight I can pass some of it sleeping tomorrow :). Here's hoping for that excitement 30 secs at a time. Catch ya all sometime tomorrow.

Thoughts with you Paula I have a clue how this all goes for you but of course not there in your shoes. More than meets the eye though I would imagine.

deb said...

I see Batman and Robin at Saline.


Loretta, love the Osprey pictures! We have a while before they come through here.

paula eagleholic said...

Nice Osprey pics, Nature!

Are they ever going to have the cam back on the webpage??

paula eagleholic said...

Nice pics, Deb. That's what the geese look like in the fields around Blackwater, too.

paula eagleholic said...

Lib's asleep

paula eagleholic said...

Saline keeps switching out the toys...small pic tonight...not full screen for me

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, feed went dark at Saline

T-Bird said...

magpie said...

OK Anne-M just checked emails, see you got the Finney link. I think they are 6 hours ahead of us...don't know if they do the time change ever at all...but they used to be 7 hours ahead before we changed OUR clocks. ☺

magpie said...

Bird is wiggling around some

magpie said...

The Adult at NCTC I mean

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle up!

paula eagleholic said...

Back down

paula eagleholic said...

Actually, the basement cleaning has been kinda neat so far. We have found some things we hadn't seen in a long time, brings back lots of good memories. :)

normabyrd said...

Been lurking----I keeping thinking----SOON!---BELLE & LIB--certainly know how to drive one NUTS!--ho!

normabyrd said...

WVU is playing SYRACUSE TONIGHT!!--
Promise not to get carried away again!!!---Game was to start at 9:00!----STILL HASN'T STARTED!!

magpie said...

Yeah, the old girl seems pretty active tonight...
again, we anticipate the morning and better viewing !

Paula I am still finding neat stuff from my parents' things, old pictures and letter and things....lots of history I wasn't even born for yet....

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle was up and back down...couldn't really see the eggs, night light too bright.

floralgirl said...

Yeah, that darn light makes it nearly impossible to see anything.

magpie said...

Bedtime seems awfully close for me, so I better say
Good Night Now...
Sleep Sweetly those that get to stay in their own roosts tonight, and for those working, hope your bed welcomes you home with Open Pillows and Blankies in the Morning.
xo God Bless Us, Every One

Costume Lady said...

Margy, you can't go to bed yet. I just posted our dinner fun photos on Just for Fun. Take a look:)

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like a nice dinner!

Attractive crowd, each and every one of you! :)

hedgie said...

Hello again y'all! I see we apparently STILL don't have an eaglet....argh!
Had a nice hour long phone conversation w/ my youngest. Haven't talked her since early in week....since she went to dayshift we don't have as much time to talk except on days her hubby is at work.

normabyrd said...

PAULA---I truly understand what you are going through!!---So many memories ---my mother kept every thing--

hedgie said...

Catching up on blog and pics...Loretta, slow to load for some reason...anyway, while I wait...was the dog "execution" at that Patuxent Park?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I have looked at eagle eggs till I am blind!! C'mon Belle and Lib. Let's do tha thang!!

hedgie said...

Great pics, Loretta!!!! Congrats on osprey return!

normabyrd said...

WHOA!--WVU is not playing well--

Mits said...

eagle awake, can't see anything..

hedgie said...

There must be sunsports or some other kind of celestial interference....having a hard time getting pages to load; also takes a long time to change channels on TV...those 'eeers probably score 4 pts. while I wait for it!!
Also, blogger cop is alive and well.

hedgie said...

Anne Marie, gotta say again that your spring activities are making me so jealous!!

normabyrd said...

Those little chicks at BWE are all snuggled together!!--so cool!

floralgirl said...

Oh, I wish we could see what was going on....

normabyrd said...

Did you all see RED'S pic?---It only shows 2 eggs!!

Lolly said...

What is going on in the nest?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Belle is might restless tonight.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

mighty that is

Lolly said...

For the longest time the eagle was looking in the nest. Now is sitting sorta up high.

hedgie said...

Love your pics, too, Deb. The three geese shot is a gem!

NatureNut said...

Great pics, Wanda. Looks like a festive dinner! You always remind me about crab legs which I pick up from store more frequently now! ☺

paula eagleholic said...

Game is still close, Norma!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, I think I am going to go climb the sycamore tree to see what is happening. Anybody want to go with me? :)

hedgie said...

Still waiting for Red's pic to open.....duh...this is getting ridiculous. Think I'm going to have to reboot and see what happens...

paula eagleholic said...

Wonder if there will be another late night switch?

Lolly said...

I'm with you, Sharon, let's go!

hedgie said...

I'll hold the ladder, Sharon!! I'm such a klutz that I would probably fall if I tried to climb!!!

Costume Lady said...

I enhanced Red's photo a little and you could just imagine there were two chicks.

paula eagleholic said...

To bad we can't induce hatching!

NatureNut said...

Wonderful pics, Deb. Never saw so many geese!

normabyrd said...

HEY PAULA!---You noticed!!---We are back in the game -- I think--We are ahead now!

NatureNut said...

Sharon, I'll go!! Rather go there than work in AM ☺
You guys hold, I'll climb! Probably get knocked off by a giant wing! LOL

Lolly said...

We have a great group....meet you in the morn.....under the tree. Who's bringing the ladder?

NatureNut said...

Lynn, I just read back---never heard of a dog thing???!!!Doubt it was this Park---they are home on the range unless somebody calls the pound!

paula eagleholic said...

Daggone, Norma, they did jump ahead. Flipping between game and a movie and chores! Although, I'm done with the chores for tonight...

Now they are tied again.

NatureNut said...

Gotta finish some stuff before bed==if I don't get back, Pleasant Feather & Eaglet Dreams!! ☺

normabyrd said...

DEB!---Your photos are TOPS!!---Thanks---

normabyrd said...

GAME is back & forth--WV-50--SYR-47

normabyrd said...

PAULA -- How far away is your mother's home?----

Mits said...

good night everyone.

hedgie said...

Night, Mits!
Lolly, I have the ladder...but it'sonly 18 ft....so you'll have to shimmy past that!
Loretta, some guy was charged w/ cruelty...he was dogsitting someones' pit bull, and he was tired of messing with him...took him to the park--sign said Patuxent--and shot him. It was on the news last night.

paula eagleholic said...

Hitting the hay, will check in tomorrow before I hit the road.

Hope WV wins, Norma.

Hugs to all ♥

paula eagleholic said...

Norma - 1 hr 15 min...not too bad.

Gnite!

normabyrd said...

NITE!---PAULA----They are ahead now!---This game didn't mean as much to me as the PITT game----That was personal for WVU!

hedgie said...

Paula, lloked at Red's shot....do you think that Belle has given #1 a heave-ho? Good night...safe trip tomorrow...hope your brother is helping you...nostalgia is hard work and takes a lot out of you. God bless you.

hedgie said...

Margy and I had a very nice spur-of-the-moment dinner with Wanda, the Captain, GeeGee and Denise.
You saw us stuffing our faces! With a still-full tummy, and a long day behind me, I am going to crash now. See you all in the morning light....maybe tomorrow we will get our wish! Prayers for all.

normabyrd said...

WVU--63 (overtime)
SYR---63

hedgie said...

Well, not just yet.....game tied up & heading into OT...Norma must be on the edge of her seat. Hope it's not a repeat of Syracuse' game last night....Hey, Norma...this game still has to mean ALOT...if they lose it, that's the end of their season, right??? Good luck!

deb said...

I think I missed most everyone. I got to watch the nest action, but was on the phone. Sure looks interesting. I am slam wore out, off to bed. Norma, I hope WV wins!

Night all.

normabyrd said...

SYR WON!!!---IN OVERTIME!

Lolly said...

Nite Deb! Nite all!

Yes, I think things have been very interesting on the nest tonight. Guess we will find out things in the morning.

Lolly said...

Eagle is still awake. Think I will go shower and come back and check.

magpie said...

I'm awake and so is Belle...
Anne-Marie, if you check back in, the Finney nest is lightening up NOW - I was going backwards on your time said 3 AM and should have said anytime after about 9 pm YOUR time...
Well, back to the sack for me - after I watch Belle for a few more minutes
Sorry to see that WVU lost in OT :(

magpie said...

Hi Lolly

magpie said...

Belle did an egg check about three minutes ago, only was on there for one refresh
G'night again

Anne-Marie said...

Thanks Margy, I'm watching... all is well

Lolly said...

Hi Anne Marie and Margy, back from shower and she is still awake.

Lolly said...

Whoops! Survived that split.

Did you make it?

Lolly said...

Guess I am all alone over here. Sad!
