Monday 2

Here's a great shot of the first hatchling:



We have looked at our closed circuit feed and we feel the other two eggs are still in the nest. The live feed problems are due to Comcast and the folks here are working to fix them...

Red said...

Well I'm getting fed up with Comcast. Kick some butt.

normabyrd said...

Wonder if PAULA has see the new pics?----She is probably worn out after working so hard this weekend!---

Mits said...

Red, don't beat yourself up....it is not your fault.

Red said...

Guess Comcast has no competiton there. There must be another way to get good live cam video.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' RED!----What did you think of DEB'S pics!---HANDSOME LITTLE CHICK!!! ho!

Mits said...

egg turning Caltran...2nd eagle just left, may have been a switch

Mits said...

egg turning OK too

Red said...

Guess I don't understand the security issues with Fisheries and Wildlife. Is the Russiand gonna steal Eagle breeding secrets?

Mits said...

yeah they may be the only guy on the block

Mits said...

tee hee, Red:)

deb said...

Redoubt update:

Low level volcanic tremor has occurred continuously over the past seven hours. Web camera images are dark.

Redoubt has not erupted, but has returned to the level of unrest observed during parts of late January and February.

Red said...

Should be Russians.

Mits said...

can you imagine living with that unknown day in and day out?

Red said...

I guess I'm getting tired of all the excuses. Bad Red. lol

Mits said...

maybe Al-Qaeda?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Thanks so much for the new thread Steve. Great shot of the baby but I don't see any eggs!!

glo said...

I am a little confused which is nothing new but if the issue is with comcast then why are folks at NCTC working to fix it. I agree kick some butt or whatever. I do not understand at all much of what is happening security or comcast wise but I am grateful for the clear picture of the little one.

Red said...

Steve you have premission to use all my tax dollars for your project.

Red said...

Wouldn't it be nice if we could tell them where to spend our tax dollars. lol

Lolly said...

Good morning! Exciting morning, I see.

DEB....thanks for the slide show! Next best to live cam. You do what you gotta do!

For sure it is only one. And isn't he cute?! All eyes! I still think he hatched Saturday. There was too much commotion with Belle checking the nest and then there were all the groceries delivered!!

normabyrd said...

DEB!!---That is so scary---just hearing about any movement worries me----

normabyrd said...

RED---NCTC---Federal Govt---check the info on this web site---

Lolly said...

Paula and Jo....when you get on be sure to check Deb's slide show. You are going to love it!

Mits said...

I'd like to tell them where to put their ideas for our tax dollars

normabyrd said...

LOLLY----Isn't he/she the cutest little EAGLET we have seen this season!!-----aaaaaaaaah!!!!!

glo said...

And has Comcast and NCTC been working on this since Fri...that too is a scarey thought over 3 days with no live feed. :(.
Sure makes you wonder what is wrong, that it is taking so long.

deb said...

Norma, the latest update on Redoubt says tremors are decreasing again.

normabyrd said...

LOLLY---I thought so too!---because of the food!!---That's a sure thing!!---Don't care when 'BIG EYES' arrived---

Mits said...

well then this is the biggest 36 hour chick I have ever seen

Mits said...

lots of moving around at Caltran

normabyrd said...

Thanks DEB!---I appreciate your keeping us up to date---

Lolly said...

Have pop up cam on as well as OK, going to read the paper and keep an eye on the screen.

Have a great day everyone! I am here, just lurking and I will be back!

glo said...

Sharon you have mail

normabyrd said...

When the EAGLETS get older---I think they look like 'little bandits'---BIG EYES with black around their eyes---looks like they are wearing a mask!

normabyrd said...

DIVERS---DIVERS!

deb said...

I see legs and flippers, Norma!

paula eagleholic said...

Great pics this morning...

Isn't that just the cutest eaglet you ever did see? ♥♥♥

deb said...

Yes, it is, Paula!

divers are gone.

It is time for me to get moving, it is going to be 74 here today, I am not spending it inside!

Mits said...

otters in view, Jo...hope you see them

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' PAULA!!---Is he or is he not the CUTEST thing you've seen in a long time!!!---ho!

Mits said...

2 sloth bears in view...may be Kali and Balavat

normabyrd said...

DEB!---Divers didn't come down---Must be taking lessons???

floralgirl said...

Hello all:) love that pine branch in the nest. Lots of great views of the eaglet this morning.
Hope Comcast gets it together soon!
Back to work...

normabyrd said...

ENJOY you day in 74° weather!!---That's what we may have by Wed---

glo said...

Live feed

glo said...

Thanks Stve JOhn Comcast or whomever

floralgirl said...

Thank you!!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' MEGAN!---Hope you are getting a nice TAN!----ho!

glo said...

Well my still cam has changed but my live feed has not so maybe not exactly Alive live feed yet...

Mits said...

BOOYAH:)

normabyrd said...

PAULA---I wasn't repeating you!!--honest---I hadn't read your remarks when I posted!!!!

floralgirl said...

Eagle up!

movin said...

I was on the earlier thread and still half asleep, so I posted over there:

***GOOD MORNING***

***eVERYONE***


Thanks, Steve, for the first good picture of Liberty-Belle's first chick of the 2009 season.... The little fluff ball is a beauty!!

C(°Ù¿°)D


** In the meantime, my Live Feed came up!! Take a look at it. **

Jim

deb said...

I have live feed, too! I sure hope it take a while for the news to spread.

normabyrd said...

WHOA!!---Feel I died & went to heaven!!!----WOW!---LIVE FEED!---
THANKS--THANKS!

movin said...

Well, didn't see much; she gets up and the glare fills the nest ??

But she did aerate the egg cup and turn the eggs at least.



C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

normabyrd said...

MOVIN'JIM!---Are your responsible for this live feed!!!---ho!

floralgirl said...

I saw two eggs and one moving chick.

Lolly said...

Wahoo! Live cam! THANK YOU Steve and guys!

Wish now that the live feed pop up cam would work! :)

deb said...

I saw the same thing, Megan.

hedgie said...

Live feed...amazing how quickly it finally got fixed. Guess Steve or John gave Comcast what-for!! But, no, it's not the only game in town, folks...Frontier is in that county, too.

movin said...

Did you get a pic, Megan?? I had to refresh the Live Feed and missed the innards of the egg cup. Hahaha.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

Lolly said...

OK eagle is going to bury herself again. Really moving the fluff around. Guess it could get a little boring sitting there waiting for eggs to hatch. Ha! An expectant Mother always likes to have house in order and ready.

hedgie said...

Love the pine bough decor! Really adds a nice touch!

glo said...

Deb I know I had the same thought about not spreading the news :( but felt really selfish...it is what it is...so capture what you can.

floralgirl said...

No pic, plenty of them floating around this morning. I just wanted to see the chick moving. And I have, so I'll go back to work. Enjoy the nest viewing:)

movin said...

It looks like they had duck for breakfast at BWE this morning.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

YAAY - Live feed

Eagle is up, chick is moving!!

deb said...

I don't think it is selfish to want the Momster members and dedicated NCTC fans to enjoy live feed for a while before the bandwidth disappears.

Eagle up

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like she was moving more fluff!

deb said...

Back up!

movin said...

Deb, I decided to see if you had any pictures of the chick this morn....

Wow!! Great slide show!


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is up again, doing a little stretch

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Live feed!! Who knew! I hate not getting my blog entries in my email!! Don't know stuff!!

paula eagleholic said...

Amazing how quickly the live feed has gotten slow, can't believe the line is so clogged already, but it's better than it was Friday

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Thanks Steve!!

normabyrd said...

with you deb!!!!

deb said...

Yes, I think word has gotten out already. Oh, well the first few viewings were good. I am giving you my piece of bandwidth until later!

TTUL

glo said...

Yes Deb that is exactly what I was saying but of course wek now being one of the top cams whether we see them or not there are many more folks than that reading the blog. Almost sent emails but I would have missed someone for sure. It feels bad to be left out even if not intentional. And of course there is the forum who never sleeps who also has a large following. Its out there and growing fast.

Is much better than Fri so far though.

deb said...

Thank you, Steve, John and crew. I was so excited, I forgot my manners!

glo said...

I will be going out for lunch with friends and also turnign off my cam in aobut 30 mins...come on out little one.

normabyrd said...

SISSY----I think we should name our little one "STEVY"

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks for getting the live feed back on!!

normabyrd said...

DANA!---Word must be out---The DONKEYS have been asking for you!--
ho!!

paula eagleholic said...

Since we don't know which egg hatched, I am including all the info for all the eggs...

March 16, 2009

Today's egg stats - not including day egg was laid

Egg #1 44 days
Egg #2 42 days
Egg #3 38 days

I think a couple of more days will probably tell us which egg it was that hatched on Saturday

paula eagleholic said...

Well I don't know about ya'll but I got slo mo video the moment my live feed came on...

Think that's Lib with the chicklet now...

glo said...

Leaving for several hours shutting down my live feed. Enjoy.

Lolly said...

Well, I am soooo excited!! I finally saw for myself Big Eyes eaglet move!!!!! That is so great!

Now I can go get ready for the day, do my exercises and head for the yard. Going to be up in the 70's today and bright sunshine. Wowee!

movin said...

ZZ is emulating her mom..doing the walk-about with a fat belly full of bamboo.

She looks like she's still trying to adjust to the solitary life. I think she still wants to waylay Bai and rassle with her 'to the death.' Hahaha.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Oh Lolly, I am so jealous. It is a miserable 51 and yucky here!! I need sunshine in my life!!

Lolly said...

Question....is that the river you can see in the upper right hand corner?

paula eagleholic said...

Lib is really looking around...

Lolly said...

Sissy, that is the way I felt last week, but spring has returned to Texas.

paula eagleholic said...

No Lolly, that is the road that takes you to NCTC, runs between Shepherdstown and ... Martinsburg, I think.

and the very top of the upper right corner, right before the black, is the sky!

paula eagleholic said...

The river is behind the cam

Lolly said...

Paula, glad you can tell who is on the nest. It is still a mystery to me who's on first.

hedgie said...

Jim, saw on the news that the baby elephant at SD is now on display...less than a week old, I think they said! He's a cutie...,could still see cord end hanging from his belly!

Lolly said...

Ok, thanks for the answer!

normabyrd said...

I keep hoping the SEA EAGLES come back for a min---want to see them!!---Still melting there!!

movin said...

Thanks, Lolly, I'll take a look at the videos at the Zoo...

They have clips of a bunch of other baby animals this year too, in case you like baby animals....



C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

Lolly said...

I really have to leave. I will shut down the live feed when I head outside.

Have a great day viewing!

movin said...

Make that, "Thanks, Hedgie...."

Hahaha, must have skipped a line.

Well, what the heck, thank you both...thank Norma too, while I'm at it.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

normabyrd said...

HEY KIDS!---We should be in the 60s by Wed.----SPRING IS A COMMIN'!
ho!

movin said...

I wonder if they're doing some work in the area of the nest tree. Liberty is really gawking his neck over the side.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

normabyrd said...

WHERE IS JO???----Did she have an appointment this am?----Wondered if she had seen the little one!!!

hedgie said...

That was me, Jim. Yep...who doesn't like baby animals?? LOL!

movin said...

Hmmm. I just looked for a baby elephant clip, Hedgie, but they haven't posted it yet.

They do have clips on a baby Gorilla, baby Rhino, and Okapi....Lion, Giraffe, etc.

All very cute as babies, even the Rhino they have.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

Chicks are being fed at BWE. I can see some pin feathers on the shoulders of the elder chick.

Nest is beginning to dry out a little.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

Hummingbirds are starting to show their beaks over the edge of the nest this morning. They grow so quickly, you almost can't believe your eyes.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

Shshshsh...oot! What did I miss when Liberty was up??


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Both our nest!

paula eagleholic said...

Lib left...

paula eagleholic said...

Chicklet head way up! Watching Belle!

paula eagleholic said...

Can see chick and one egg, can't see the other one

paula eagleholic said...

No feeding, Belle covering up chick and eggs.

movin said...

Are they playing musical perches or what?

Nice view of the chick though. I think it is very large for its age, which probably means it is a female....

What do you think??


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Fresh fish at BWE

Mits said...

Jo is fine just talked to her, had home health care this a.m., and surgeon appt. this afternoon, will try to get on later.

movin said...

Both in the nest at BWE now.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

hedgie said...

Fluff roughing....hope she's not trying to build up edges of that cup any higher!!!

paula eagleholic said...

BWE chicklet playing hide and seek in the fluff

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is really digging out the bowl

Mits said...

turkeys at Pix

movin said...

There's a new update at Atlanta on Xi Lan and family.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Jim, you can't really see the size difference until much later

normabyrd said...

BELLE was watching -- looking up & then she really squawked at what ever she was watching!!!----

normabyrd said...

HELEN!---Thanks for the update on JO!---Was wondering if she knew about the chick!!

Mits said...

she knows, Norma

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, oldest chick still under the fluff at BWE

Belle stopped for awhile, but has resumed digging to China!!

normabyrd said...

PAULA---Maybe BELLE thinks THAR might be GOLD in the bottom!!--She is really working!!!---

movin said...

***STEVE***

Hi, I am wondering if you people can adjust the "brightness" and "contrast" on our cam (or software), so that the picture is not washed out when the sun appears or when the IR lamp is shining on the nest.

PLEEZ.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

She dug up some sort of stick that is sticking out of the bowl...or maybe one of those corncobs

paula eagleholic said...

She is up and looking at the chick from the back!!

paula eagleholic said...

Now that stick disappeared....good!

Sure hope it's eatin' time!

paula eagleholic said...

Nope, back on chicklet

paula eagleholic said...

Geesh, where is everyone today?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Eagle at HI is trying to eat the cam!

floralgirl said...

Feeding time at the nest-

movin said...

Belle is feeding the baby ...probably rabbit.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Eating time our nest!!

Costume Lady said...

Am I halucinating or do we have Live Feed?

Mits said...

no hallucinations, its live

Lolly said...

Had to come in and check on the cam. Then back outside. I am working on my herb garden, Oh, it smells so good!

Jim..........i was wondering what you were thanking me for. LOL I scrolled back through the blog to see what I might have said. Short memory, you know!

Ok, back outside.

BBL

hedgie said...

LOL, Wanda...not Memorex!!!
Raining lightly here....probably heading toward you and nest!

Costume Lady said...

Finally got Live Feed to come up again....Thought my anxiety attacks would be averted now, but when the feed won't come on, Lord have Mercy! I need a vacation...anybody else want to come along???

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

So gentle and loving!! What parents!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Oh, Wanda, wait on me, I am coming!! Don't leave without me!

Mits said...

looking up to the sky

hedgie said...

I'm on board, Wanda. Where are we going???

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Anywhere with sunshine is fine with me.

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is up, still see one chicklet

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

We are celebrities at Pinch Elementary school ya'll. A friend of mine is a teacher there and they watch the blog and the nest in class sometimes. She found me accidentally on the blog this morning when she was trying to see if we had a baby. Small, small world!!

Mits said...

into the hole.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I think my 30 sec. cam is updating faster than the live one!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

But, hey, I ain't fussing. I am grateful to have it at all!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Back at HI again. I love that cam!!

paula eagleholic said...

BWE is on the chicks a lot today too...chilly out there today!

paula eagleholic said...

And we have to remember that Belle is still incubating...

movin said...

We must have a big demand on the broadband now. The Feed is freezing a lot again.



C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding at BWE...the fish is going fast!

Mits said...

they are just so cute

paula eagleholic said...

At least we will be able to see more in the dark now...the night light is not so bad on the live feed.

Mits said...

ok blog is freezing on me now, shutting it sown

paula eagleholic said...

Both our nest!

paula eagleholic said...

Looked like a couple of bites for the young 'un

Mits said...

big head in front of cam

Mits said...

poof

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, that was pretty close!

paula eagleholic said...

Did a couple of videos during lunch....

Links on the EM blog

Eagletmomsters.blogspot.com

paula eagleholic said...

Love the way she peeks down at the eaglet....wonder if it tickles?

wvgal_dana said...

BACK to Eagleland and thank you for all the wonderful comments I got to read.
I too believe we have an "older chick" than born on March 16th. I think it was born March 13th or 14th. Too big and sits up too well.

Was looking back on BWE chick and that timing would go along with how their chicks acted then and each day until today.

Paula's video's were great thank you!! ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Yes I did bring up live feed a few minutes ago. Thank whomever fixed it...if it was Comcast...I don't understand all the delay we had to go without the live feed. They would get more customers by us all and those lurking on this cam. By the live feed continuing to work well. duh Comcast....

paula eagleholic said...

Lib is back...

paula eagleholic said...

Did he bring more vittles....hard to tell, Belle might be mantling now...

wvgal_dana said...

both in nest

paula eagleholic said...

They are blocking the view!!!

Move it big bird, LOL!

wvgal_dana said...

feeding going on

movin said...

He brought food, which she has begun to eat, but I couldn't recognize what it is.

Anybody else?


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

Looks something like a black fish....


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Paula who is eating?

wvgal_dana said...

I think that is Belle on the eggs?

deb said...

I still have two eagles on my live feed, hardly had the live feed open and it is froze.

hedgie said...

Raining pretty hard here now. If she starts mantling, you'll know why!

T-Bird said...

Hello everyone.

T-Bird said...

How are our eagles doing today?

paula eagleholic said...

Lib got on the eaglet and eggs....last I saw...guess she's taking a break...

paula eagleholic said...

She was eating around the launch pad area

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, Deb, feed has gotten worse!

Mits said...

good videos, Paula.

hedgie said...

Great videos, Paula! TY!
Hi Thelma. Are you back from Charlottesville? Was this just a work trip, or did Shar have an apptmt.??

Mits said...

on radar looks like most of the rain passing to the NW of nest...

T-Bird said...

Lynn, it was a work trip and I got back yesterday. No Sharon and safe and sound in WV. : )

Mits said...
