deb said...

Good morning. We have another snow baby with one not far behind in CO! When the eagle first got up, my heart dropped, it was to dark to see the wiggling chick, but then there it was!! One of the other eggs has a nice crack in it, that I hope is a pip hole!

normabyrd said...

A HOODIE? is on the FINNEY water nest!!---SUZ has some great pics with SEA EAGLES she took this am!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DEB!---I was watching the news last night & have FINALLY out that the RED RIVER doesn't flow down to SD---flows across ND!!----PRAYERS FOR THOSE FOLKS!!----

deb said...

Yes, Norma, it is in ND and MN. We have flooding in SD, but nothing like what they are having in Fargo. One part of the dike gave way last night and they are now talking 43' flood levels.

magpie said...

That is Perfect News to Read about, Deb, about Colorado Eagle and Eaglet and maybe Eaglet-to-be!

xo Good Morning Everyone !

normabyrd said...

The NORFOLK parents just finished feeding their CREW!!---2 now have the black circles around their eyes---the 3rd is there---but wasn't moving much!!----GREAT CAMS there!!

Norma !

I was watching those Hooded Crows overnight also ! ☺

Red said...

Good morning everyone. Wet day here so I won't be mowing anytime soon. Eagle babies are everywhere. Good viewing today.

deb said...

Yes, those cubs are cute, saw them on the news.

Margy, I have video loading of the chick. I lightened the screen and then got a fairly good clip of it.

Check your e-mail for the video of Andrew's performance last night. It is very good and so nice to hear him sing. Thanks Sharon and Sissy!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' MARGIE!---I have always liked the CO site too!!---Do you have the day off?---going to be a beautiful day---fog is lifting -- can see the blue sky!---temp is 41°----

deb said...

CO parent can't get comfy, but not giving a good view of the nest every time it rearranges the nest.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Eagleland

Trying this again

2 Endangered Clouded Leopard cubs being Celebrated at DC National Zoo. They weren't born there. They were born at DC Zoo's Endangered Species place at Front Royal, Va.

2 day old Clouded Leporad Cubs

normabyrd said...

WHOA----DEB!---Can't wait to see ANDREW sing!!---OH!---SHARON---you must be so proud!!!!!!----HOW COOL!

deb said...

Redoubt blew again last night. They didn't say how big, but there are more ashfall warnings, so it must have been fairly big.

deb said...

Video of the CO chick is up on Nest Pictures. I should have done youtube, it seems so small. :(

normabyrd said...

SCOTTISH TRUST-----Beautiful female OSPREY in nest---waiting for the male to arrive---She is standing & has that 'wind blown' look!!----

Costume Lady said...

Sharon...so glad you and Sissy put Andrew's performance on video for us all to enjoy! They seemed like they were having a ball! Now we need to hear Mattie sing:) What a talented family:):)

deb said...

Both our nest!

normabyrd said...

DANA---Not sure I can get your pics up?----I have watched them the parents in the NZOO often!!

magpie said...

Well !!

4 minutes and 36 seconds of pure enjoyment!

Great Job, Sharon, Sissy AND Andrew!

magpie said...

Deb :

Good Nest pictures, thanks for being the bearer of good news on Colorado

and please check your email....
xo

Mits said...

Good Friday morning everyone.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' WANDA!---I agree that is a talented family!!!----Aren't we lucky to have them as our FRIENDS!!

Costume Lady said...

DEB, be careful of unknown blogger on your Blog!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' HELEN!---enjoy your TGIF day!----ho!

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Norma...we have so many talented friends and their familis on here. We are truly blessed!
Can't you just feel the love?

deb said...

Got it, Margy, unknown blogger is deleted.

paula eagleholic said...

TGIF!!

Great view of our Hidey this morning!!

paula eagleholic said...

Check out that stick hanging near the cam...

paula eagleholic said...

2 eagles our nest...brought a stick??

paula eagleholic said...

Or maybe I can see the stick that is there better.

Eagle gone! Think that was Belle in and out

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

What do you all reckon that is moving at 9 o'clock in our nest??

Mits said...

don't know....zoom in does not help

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Oh yeah, and good morning! :)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

At first I was thinking the wind was blowing something but don't see anything else but that moving.

paula eagleholic said...

The brownish thing? Might be from the fluff...like a long leaf or something

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle up and eating at 6 on the nest

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

The gray thing at 9 o'clock.

paula eagleholic said...

Now both again...busy morning!

Mits said...

good finally eating the fish that has been staring at me for 3 days

Mits said...

it is snowing at Al and Betty's owl nest in New Mexico.

deb said...

Have you seen if all three eggs have hatched at the owl nest, Mits?

Mema Jo said...

Good Friday Morning All

Good to see both of our eagle in the nest when I signed on..

Highlight of today is the video Sharon and Beverly sent out to all of us! I love stage performances such as that - They all looked as though they were enjoying themselves! ANDREW was a BIG TIME HIT!

Mits said...

so far I think one is hatched, as with all chat rooms there is an element of superiority and if you ask a question, they give you a curt answer or no answer at all, the ones in the owl chat room at night are just plain rude. That is why I hate chat rooms, never seen one I liked

deb said...

I'll give it a try.

deb said...

Two, they say. Was that you asking at the same time as me?

normabyrd said...

WOW!---SHARON!---You have a fine SON!----Bet you have figured that out---long ago!---thanks for sharing!!!!

Mits said...

yes...lol:)

magpie said...

That was a great feeding a short while ago....

I picked the wrong time to try to install a program...
computer all fowled up now.

Sigh. Lost my favorite desk top pic of my grandson...going to try to do a restore...

See you all later on, got to head to town for a Hairdo...I think it is scheduled for today ☺
(Couldn't resist that one, Deb ☺ )

Must find some red clothing to wear...
xo TTFN xo

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' PAULA---SHARON & MEMA JO!-----It has been a wonderful morning!-----so much happening!!

Mits said...

I logged on to get a name, know I belong to unistream and don't know how to get off, because it did not use my name, I'm still a # there...

normabyrd said...

MARGIE----You will be so beautiful when you return!!----Don't worry---we will recognize your red clothing!----ho!-----(devil made me say that)---

deb said...

Double check the date, Margy!

I have been hoping to get a better view of the CO eaglet, but no luck yet. It still seems so dark there.

deb said...

Mits, I tried to register, too, didn't get as far as you did.

Mits said...

now I'm trapped..lol, I hate being a #, and they called me a troll last night..because I ask an owl question. The day group seem to be better...think the night group are drinkers.

Mema Jo said...

Checking out the cams & going to read earlier remarks.

BBILW

normabyrd said...

The ATLANTA site is screwed up!!!---boo-hoo!

Mits said...

names of the owlets..from New Mexico...Al and Betty offspring


Chick one hatched 3/23 or 24/09 Agnetha
Chick two hatched 3/25/09 Chiquitita
Chick two hatched 3/25/09 ?????? Fernando

deb said...

I noticed all the drink recipes at night. I think once you register you can change the number to a name, but I can't get that far to figure out how.

Mits said...

yeah, and think they were all trying them....oh I see maybe that is how to do it...well unistream is suppose to get back to me in 48 hours, I could kick myself:)

deb said...

I got registered, will have to see if I am a number when I post something.

deb said...

I got another quick glimpse of CO eaglet, it is a wiggly, little one. Still two eggs, one with a big crack in it. I assume it is a pip.

Mits said...

are you Debpal?

deb said...

Eagle up, our nest.

deb said...

Look how big Hidey is getting!

Mits said...

how did you do it???

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding our nest

Mits said...

look at that neck stretch

deb said...

At the top of the page was a tab that said sign up. Or maybe it was sign in, something like that. It was just above the cam.

Mits said...

think that is the one I used, will try again

deb said...

Two weeks old tomorrow, correct? It is amazing how fast she is growing!

Mits said...

ok got it....I'm eaglemom

Mits said...

well we will see when I post something

normabyrd said...

DID any of you folks talk with SUZANNE today or yesterday!----She has named our EAGLET----'MIRACLE'---I believe that is a GREAT name for our 'little one'???????

Mits said...

yes Norma we know.

Mits said...

it worked Deb.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Little Hidey all alone!

normabyrd said...

The PA PERGERINE FALCON is on her nest---looking out with those beautiful big eyes!----She has 3 eggs now---the last one was laid 3/26!!----I hope they change their site back----maybe they will when eggs hatch!!!

Mits said...

Norma, the site is always that way til the falcons get bigger.

normabyrd said...

HELEN---What do you mean?---the chick has been named?----just checking---

normabyrd said...

WOW!----i am never with the program!!! -- sorry---

Mits said...

what chick, Norma?

Mits said...

the owls in NM?

deb said...

Here is a webcam from Fargo of the Red River:

Fargo Flood Watch

hedgie said...

Good late morning. Have been busy catching up on a lot of stuff this morning.
LOL....Helen a troll??? What's that all about?
Deb, thanks for CO video.....mama shadowing as if she wondered what was going on!
Still have to watch Andrew....guessing it is on yahoo mail. Will go check.

normabyrd said...

DANA!!---Wherefore art thou?---The DONKEYS have been calling your name!!----My BLACK one is there this am!!

Mits said...

wow Deb.

paula eagleholic said...

Chicklet all alone

Lolly said...

Good morning! Our eaglet is all alone! I am so happy we have an eaglet. but it sure isn't the same as having three. I love to watch the interaction of siblings. How does an only eaglet grow up to socialize? LOL

Excited about CO. Have not gone there yet this morning. OK looks wet. We had bad weather between us and the OK nest last night, tornadoes and baseball size hail. I think it was mostly along the TX/OK border.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' HEDGIE!---You certainly will enjoy watching ANDREW!!---He is so talented!!

Lolly said...

Here I am trying to type and Annie, my cat, is demanding I pet her. She is purring and climbing all over me!

Jim

Mits said...

oops fall down go boom

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Looks like Hidey is trying to explore a little bit!

Lolly said...

Morning Norma. It's Friday. I am sad. No homemade bread and sausage.

deb said...

I am off to run errands, bbl!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' RED!!---I wanted to ask how you have been doing with the oxygen?----pray this will helps--then you stop---

Lolly said...

Time to go get a bite to eat. BBL

Have a great Friday everyone. We are going to Dallas tonight to babysit. Going to see my Zach!

movin said...

The Allen's Hummer chicks are getting really boisterous...struggling, struggling to get above the other and test-run their wings at full power.


C(°?°)3

Jim

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' LOLLY!---I wondered about you all---I had seen on the news last night---TX may get some tornadoes!!----LOLLY!!---I read how much your health had improved with the veggies!!---That's worth it all--isn't it!----I'll give up the home made bread for you!!---ho!what's the next trip?----envy that---but so happy to read about your travels!!

normabyrd said...

HELEN--I am sorry you didn't understand----I meant that I thought SUZANNE'S name 'MIRACLE' is a perfect name for our little EAGLET!!!---

Red said...

Doing well with the oxygen Norma. Have a sore nose from the little tubes but I can live with that. lol

hedgie said...

That video was great..they were having so much fun...as was Sis, the videographer!! Thanks S&S!
Did you see Suz' email about driving in the pea soup last night with one headlamp??

ceil said...

Hi everyone. I have not been on lately lots going on in our neighborhood. Please pray for my friend Betty She is very ill with kidney failure. We are waiting to hear if they will be able to do dialysis. Thank you. Keeping up on the little one. We were just taking Sister Bobbie to the airport and I saw the eagle nest. Eagle is in it. Love you all.

Mits said...

will sure keep Betty in my prayers Ceil, know you have been very busy

hedgie said...

Looks so strange to see flooding with snow on the ground!

Shhhh...think I would be safe in putting the snow shovel away????

normabyrd said...

RED---You know I share your problem---but I haven't had oxygen yet!!----I am feeling like a new person with all exercise at the WELLNESS CENTER!!---keeping you in my thoughts---

Mits said...

both eagle NBG

hedgie said...

Hidey aka Miracle is sure looking aorund...curious and alert little chick!

normabyrd said...

CEIL----I certainly will keep your friend--BETTY--in my prayers!!---Many years ago--at age 44--same disease took my MOTHER!---Sending much love----

normabyrd said...

Thanks HEDGIE!!---They could use you in DC!---You are quite the DIPLOMAT!!---ho!----COOL!----kinda like the old song---You say POTATO--I say PATATA!!!---need to laugh more !!!!----ho!

normabyrd said...

M/T place at the PA site----They must have stopped seeding!!

paula eagleholic said...

Do I see little pin feathers on Hidey??

normabyrd said...

SISSY---Have you had time to check the ATLANTA site?----I couldn't find any live feed!!

hedgie said...

Oh, yes, I'm sure those are pin feathers....he/she is almost 2 weeks old!!!
Can you believe how big the BWE chicklets are getting????

hedgie said...

Oh, Dana, we had questioned the article/report about them feeding the baby clouded leopards SALT WATER a couple of days ago....Mits got an email from her boss saying that they had questiojed it, too and found out the reporter was in error when she said that!

paula eagleholic said...

I was wondering why they were feeding them salt water too....was it sugar water instead?

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE has a pic of MIRACLE in the nest all alone!!----What a little cutie----Keeps attempting to stretch the little neck!! WHOA!----(she must think she is a giraffe)---ho!

hedgie said...

Now they are saying 43' above flood stage in Fargo area, with a crack in a dike....evacuations started...awful...

paula eagleholic said...

I think Hidey is using the dud egg to get out of the bowl...at least it's good for something!

normabyrd said...

OREGON nest has lots of snow---but not as much as I thought it would!!

Mits said...

I’ve been obsessing a little about why in the world the new clouded leopard cubs would have been fed salt water. It seemed very odd, and apparently we were right to think it’s odd. According to Jilian, the Washington Post story was not accurate. The cubs are being fed milk-- A mixture of KMR and 33/40 (two different formulas), to which taurine and lactaid are added. Jilian guesses that the Post was referring to fluids given under the skin to prevent dehydration.

FROM MY BOSS

hedgie said...

No, Paula, it was formula. Apparently they did give some IV saline for dehydration.

normabyrd said...

It's SPRING!!!!!---Preparations are being made for the KITE FESTIVAL in DC!!---Cherry blossoms too!----so beautiful!!----

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey is out of the bowl and at high noon in the nest!!

hedgie said...

Suz says that he/she is using that egg for a pillow and company! I thinks it's wishful thinking for a sibling!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Mits and Hedgie.

normabyrd said...

HELEN!----Thanks for the update!!

Costume Lady said...

Do any of you remember EGGBERT? I can't remember where his nest was, but he was an only chick and it was sad watching him grow up and fledge. It seemed to me that he didn't fledge for a long time after he was supposed to. I guess he had no reason to leave the nest. We will have to make frequent trips to our nest and entertain our baby:)

paula eagleholic said...

That was the puget sound nest in Washington

paula eagleholic said...

Parent is back our nest

paula eagleholic said...

That was WA State

hedgie said...

Cherry blossoms are ready to pop in DC...festival starts this weekend, but luckily parade isn't until next weekend...hopefully weather forecast will be better then!

normabyrd said...

ABC---CH 7--They just showed the pics of the NORFOLK EAGLETS & MOM feeding!!---

WE NEED some publicity too!!!!

hedgie said...

Must have felt like climbing Everest to get up there...LOL! What a cutie.

normabyrd said...

Yeah! HEDGIE---I think we will have rain tomorrow!!

Mits said...

Bloom Schedule



2009 Peak Bloom Forecast: April 1st – April 4th.

2009 Blooming Period Forecast: March 28 - April 11.

2009 CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL DATES: March 28-April 12.

normabyrd said...

BWE NAMING CONTEST FOR THE 2 EAGLETS IS NOW OPEN!!----UNTIL 4/18----click on site for info!!

movin said...

DARN!!
I went over to AOL to wish Suzanne a good weekend, but before I could send my wishes, AOL encountered one of those errors where the warning box repeats infinitely when you close it!

So, I shut that down to clean up files and try again; BUT... while I was doing that Windows encountered an error and shut my computer down!!

I did finally email her, but it took a half hour to do it, and then I had to reopen everything over here on FireFox, which is all these animal cam things, plus many other items.

I'm hoping the rest of the day goes better now....


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

The eaglets at BW are peering over the side of the nest at their future world...part of it anyway.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

normabyrd said...

APRIL 4th is the CHERRY BLOSSOM PARADE date!

Costume Lady said...

Yep, that's the one, Paula.

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey is sleeping at Noon! Poor thing is all tuckered out!!

normabyrd said...

They are certain GROWING FAST JIM!
Now are you going to submit a name for them?----contest is open!!

movin said...

I finally got a chance to peek at Wanda's mystery bird, and I think it IS a hawk or falcon type.

I knew the body was shaped more like a hawk's than a Mourning Dove's, and its lower legs appear to have feathers on them, but that 'straight beak' was out of place.

Finally, I was just glancing at the pic again, and I realized that straight item is not the bird's beak. It is the continuation of the twig you see at the top of the bird's head, and the bird's head is turned slightly toward the camera.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

I don't know about naming the eaglets, Norma. Every time I think "I am going to name such and such" I get a block!

But I might come up with something "bye the bye". We'll see.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

Wow, check our nest. Miracle is really on the move, and now the parent is feeding her while standing on top of the nest's edge.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

hedgie said...

Look at that scrawny neck!!! LOL!

floralgirl said...

Awwww... Hoover Loo Stevy Hidey Lucky Miracle is taking a nap......

normabyrd said...

JIM!---Remember they have tons of names suggested!----Last year I went for my favorite---'YEAGER'--no go!---They had up to date --NEW NAMES--if I remember!!----

Mits said...

lol, Megan

Mits said...

both eagles at NBG

Mits said...

talk about an identity crisis

normabyrd said...

ooh! MEGAN---you are so very clever!!---just too cool for me!!

Mits said...

hoodies at Finland

hedgie said...

ATTEN--HUT!!!!

hedgie said...

Looks like some fresh snow at Finney over water--ON the water/ice, not so much in nest. Sunset.

normabyrd said...

need food--

movin said...

I wonder if this standing aside from the egg bowl today means that Belle has realized the egg is not viable.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Good point, Jim. I would think so.

sunny said...

I can't keep up with as many nest as many of you do, but my second favorite is BWE. Did you see the SIZE of those critters, and their ginormous feet! How fast our little ones grow up. I'm also amazed by Hidey/Miracle's size.

hedgie said...

Is that the egg rolled over about 3 in the cup?

hedgie said...

Maybe Belle is going to give it the heave-ho...??

hedgie said...

Lost live-feed....won't refresh past a blank screen...anyone else?

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey is about buried in the fluff again...

hedgie said...

Ok, live back up. Looks like our little one is already trying to figure out what the wings are and why they move with him!

paula eagleholic said...

Lynn, I have it on, but not sure if it's frozen or not...

paula eagleholic said...

Nope, it is working...sloooooowly

paula eagleholic said...

REally nice pic at present on the live feed...

Red said...

BRS is finally on the road again.

paula eagleholic said...

Chickie just ate and is now passed out in the bowl...

Lolly said...

Hi all, I am feeling so good. Want to get out and work in the yard, but another front is coming in. It iw very windy and low's in the 30's tonight. By Sunday should be able to work in the yard.
My roses have buds and some of the roses on the fence have opened!

Leaving for Dallas within the hour.Watch out Zach! Here comes Grandmommy!

NORMA,..... we will probably head up into OK sometime this next month for a whort trip. Then in June we are heading to Colorado for a week of camping.

Lolly said...

LOL make that "short". boy do I do typos on this computer!

Lolly said...

Both adults at NBG and eaglets being fed!

Mema Jo said...

NBG adults feeding
Not sure what it is...... I just tuned in..

Lolly said...

Both adults at OK/

paula eagleholic said...

Eating time again!

Looks like some sort of furry animal pelt at 6ish in the nest.

movin said...

Both our nest and BWE are feeding chicks.

NBG: both parents feeding them, but one is standing in the way of the action.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

Lolly said...

NBG need to focus the cam. It is not quite right.

Lolly said...

The eaglets at BW have reached the adolescence age and not so cute. They can have a naming contest, always will be Snow White and Frosty to me!

movin said...


Jeez! Xi Lan is snoozing away in the exact same spot on the corner of the structure that he was hours ago. He's either tired as heck or that spot is comfortable as heck.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

Mema Jo said...

Do you think that our eagles know it could rain tomorrow - with all the new fluff ?

movin said...

Liberty is in the nest too, and I think he's eating some of the grub stored under that straw.

I think the straw is to protect the fish from the sun and from the eyes of other airborn predators, Mema Jo.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

Well, I've got to take care of business. Talk to you later.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Have fun, Lolly.

Lolly said...

Thanks Paula! I am sure we will. He is a three year old "character!"

paula eagleholic said...

Belle arrived w/ more fluff and covered up the chicklet....Lib went up into the tree

Lolly said...

Help!!! Our Hidey is hiding! Oh my!

Lolly said...

Whoops! One little head just popped up! "Here I am Mommy!"

hedgie said...

VERY WELL hidden!! No one would know that baby is there now!

Lolly said...

Back down in the fluff!

Lolly said...

It's a game of "Where's the baby?"!

hedgie said...

Lib and Belle both taking a break from the nursery. THey've been so good.
