HOPE , that is , not HOE
spidey does not bother me, its his web that bothers me, blocking the view
Seems like Spidey re-arranged his web strands a little...not so intrusive tonight
Have to go back and see some of the earlier comments from today and play around with Picasa a little, back in a little while
xo
well I was thinking web was not bad at all, then realized cam was frozen...duh.
Maine forum already has pics of that last two-some at Okla and some good pictures of the eggs
from BWE....
Nest Update
03/20/09:
Not too many meals on Friday, but the eaglets did get one in the early evening.
We hear an eagle was recently seen trying to steal a fish from an osprey at the Refuge. Maybe one of our parents will nab a meal.
I just double clicked inside our Live Feed cam pic & the web started to move again..... It was frozen.... Sometimes I just don't know what trick to try to unfreeze it!
think i have tried every trick in the book that I know how to do.
We may have one more hour of daylight at the OKLA nest
EGGS VISIBLE AT OKLA
darn missed it
I saw all 3 eggs at OKLA Not closely but there were 3 whole shells there
Our eagles head is tucked under the wing
NBG cam still too busy or whatever to open
Have you had any luck getting the
Saline River Valley feeder up today.
Looks as though they are changing some things........
No sign of spidey YET tonight.
Hedgie - you do see his web, right?
he took some of it down:)
Well, no wonder no spidey....frozen! There on refresh. Darn!
Has your appetite returned, Hedgie?
Too good of some warm weather days coming up for you to be penned in the house not feeling well.....
Still daylight at OKLA but nothing yet to see under our nesting eagle.
I give up until tomorrow...
I'm going into recliner.....
BBL
Well, dear fowl friends, I am going to leave you for tonight...gonna soak in a tub, put Vicks on my chest and neck and nose and dose up w/ meds and go to bed. Hoping I can sleep the night through (fat chance!!). See you tomorrow. Don't think we need to be on alert anymore for another hatchling, so hope everyone sleeps well! Prayers for all.
Oh, yes, Jo....it's never been gone...just couoldn't eat anything good until after yesterday's fix of temp. crown. Been chewing fine ever since!!
both eagles at OK
eagle brought food for nesting one
well thought it was food, whatever it was got tossed out of the nest.
nice view of pip hole
There's 2 great pics on the Maine forum of one of the NBG eagles flying through the air with a fish. Scroll down to see it- Shelly's NBG pics
I sure hope we get a hatch soon at OK nest, I am afraid things aren't looking too good there for the first eggs.
Wow, Megan, those are great pictures. Thanks for the link.
wow, what an awesome picture.....thanks, Megan
Thanks Megan BEAUTIFUL
Thank Shelly, she took the pics, I just stumbled upon them. Such a beautiful capture of an eagle with a just caught fish in its talons.
I'll say a beautiful pair Deb and those turtles are mighty cute too ! ☺
Thanks for that cool link of the NBG Eagle with fish, Megan
I love those bluebird pics, Deb.
Okla Eagle just did another egg roll, to me the dark spot on the egg looked bigger...quite a lot bigger
Thanks, seeing Bluebirds again sure helps with that spring feeling! We saw a beautiful pair of Spotted Towhees, too, but we were hiking with no camera. :(
Darn, I haven't seen a towhee yet, past two years we had a pair that would hang out in the yard for a couple of months. Haven't seen an indigo bunting either.
lol...if you feed the turtles fast enough in a circle, they spin around.....
Today was my best viewing of them, Megan. They were right next to us and didn't seem to worried about us.
Eagle up, our nest.
Those turtles are fun.
Eagle back down. Only happened on live feed, can't say that very often.
Deb, did you find any prarie chickens? Your bluebirds are a breath of fresh, Spring air.
Not a one, Wanda!
I've heard a Towhee, Megan...out at Swinging Bridge...
I know another place to to look, Yankaur Wildlife Preserve here in Berkeley County...might be time for a little field trip soon.
I'm hitting the sack! Eyes have been open too long today.
Good Night Everyone...
Peace, Love and Prayers, especially for Wellness amongst all our Momsters and Dadsters and their families xo ☺ ♥
Oh, two Eagles in the nest at Lake Washington by the way....
Go Critterzoom! xo 'Night All ☺
that view looks a little different at LW
I just got a call from some Sioux Falls birders and we are going Kayaking tomorrow! Going to be almost 70, but will have to be careful of the water. We should see lots!
Yes, it does, or is it just the way the light is hitting it?
2 racoons at Saline, it is toy night
what fun, Deb....LW view looks closer to the nest.
Those prairie chickens must be very elusive. The two bluebirds were worth the trip in my book!
Hope you see lots of wonderful thing on you kayak trip...don't forget your camera:)
There is even a hawk on display tonight at Saline.
Have fun, Deb!
I won't, Wanda. We should see lots of ducks and geese. The gulls are coming back and I think we will see lots of eagles. It is mostly Juveniles this time of year. The adults are back to their home areas already.
I'm back. I added today's photos to the end of my last gallery (they start right after the last owl):
Today's Photos
There was an osprey that was being chased by an eagle. It was pretty far away so I had to blow up the photos fairly large so the quality isn't great. There was an osprey on a platform with it's mate eating a fish and it was chased off by another osprey (I think for its fish). I think its mate on the platform was the one the eagle was chasing.
Bob
Nice pictures, Bob. I love the picture with the eagle at the top of that beautiful tree, and the red tail hawk flying is beautiful, and the eagle chasing the osprey...they are all great. Thanks for sharing:)
Nite all.....
thanks, Bob, really happy to see the beautiful osprey back in town....pictures are wonderful
Goodnight everyone.
My days are so long now, that I get sleepy early, so I will say goodnight now.
PRAYERS FOR ALL
SEE YOU TOMORROW
Absolutely beautiful, Bob. Loved them all, especially the GBH tucked in the shore, the hawk in the tree(sharp-shined??) and the osprey in the top of that tree.
Wanda, I like your smiles jokes!
Time for me to get to bed, have to get kayak stuff ready early to go for tomorrow.
Night, everyone.
Night all. Thanks for looking!
**gOOD NIGHT**
**EVERYONE**

* Good Morning Everyone *
I'm looking at the Finney Land Nest, and it seems that something or other has been on the nest, fussing on the snow, or else, maybe just normal snow melting action. Haven't seen anything on there yet.
Best wishes for a Great Day of fun and Good Health today. Skies are clear, stars and planets out.
Have fun on your Kayak Trip, Deb...
Leaving for work soon....xox
Oh My: There is an Osprey at Scottish Wildlife Trust...I assume this is a Fresh View, and not a re-run:
Scottish Wildlife Osprey Nest
What a treat !
Bird just left now, though, and there is sound! They are about four or five hours ahead of us there.
Later, Friends xoxo

Nest Update
03/21/09:
We have our first sighting of an osprey!
Based on his white chest it looks like a male. Males usually return first.
If it's one of our residents, he's no doubt wondering where all the sticks went.
**GOOD MORNING**
**ON A BEAUTIFUL SAT.**
**TO YOU ALL**

DEB!!---I 'ROOTED' for the ND team yesterday---They had SPUNK & almost won!!!!
WOW!----TWO (2) HEN TURKEYS this am at PA site!
They did better than I thought they would, Norma. I had to cheer for them, too, even though they are rivals.
what time are you going kayaking, Deb?
hope they lower the time from 45 seconds on the osprey cam now that they are back
I'll leave here about 9:30. We are letting the sun warm things up before we take off.

The Osprey doesn't look like the same dude as last year. Does he look familiar to you?
I think a couple of pairs scouted this nest last year before the young pair decided to give it a try.
Also, Now that I think of it, the nest has drawn a different pair every year since I've been watching it.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
good thinking:)
Thanks Norma I might get lucky and see an eagle or two but they are pretty much heading north back to their nesting areas. A few nest here and I know there are a couple of nests at the rufge but I am told they are way back out of public access and view for the most part.
Deb you have mail:)
Watch for Juveniles, Glo, we have lots of them here. Adults for the most part are long gone.
Have a wonderful day, all of you nature seekers...I think I may take GeeGee shopping. We can compare notes this evening:)
Thanks GLO!---I just figured since you had so many along the river---that not many migrated!!---(i'm slow)---ho!--- HAVE A FUN DAY!!!
Back to you, Mits!
I don't know if you are watching Norfolk, but she is acting like she might have a chick hatching this morning.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
I saw both Liberty and Belle in the nest a few minutes ago, but I didn't see the contents of the nest bowl.
Do we still have one chick??
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
TFTNS has spotted an eaglet in OK. Quick look now!
Dang they are fast at the up and down at that nest, never mind. I caught a half second glance of it.
heading to OK now.
JIM!---I watch the NORFOLK site too!---I thought she was acting 'antsy' this am too!!--- yesterday was the HATCH day!!--
Morning, all!
Osprey's and Eaglets!
Life is good!
SCOTTISH WILDLIFE has an OSPREY at nest 'tearing up some animal'!!---acting as if she hasn't eaten for a while!! ho!

Good morning. New thread!
Kayaking, Deb! That must be great.
I remember when I was a boy, one of the older kids had access to a folding wood-framed kayak with a waterproofed canvas cover.
I was allowed to operate it a few times, and I'll always remember how fast and quiet it was in the water.
You can take a long stroke in the direction of a duck or a mud hen and nearly run them down before they know you are there. Fabulous compared to the clunky old row boats we had otherwise ... or the homemade rafts we had.
Actually, I was forbidden to play in the slough (closed-off estuary), but I was ordered to go play with the local kids, who were all 2-3 years older than I was, and who invariably headed for the slough to play! A conflict that was never really resolved, and I received some 'corporal punishment' and was (what's the term) ... not allowed to leave the yard for a two week period on several occasions.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
I just remembered the term for the incarceration within my yard:
"RESTRICTION!!"
Some others were "grounded" but I was restricted. But when the two weeks were up, I had to go out and play with the same kids, and we were down at the slough again very shortly......
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Anyway, I think kayaking is one of the best, fastest and most fun modes of transportation upon the waters.
Have a great time.

Jim
