Thanks for the video Steve!

deb said...

I am having no luck, video freezes on me at 7 seconds. :(

Lolly said...

Great videos, Paula. Thanks! Just taking a break to take a peek. It is just beautiful outside and as I work I can hear the hawks in the back yard of the neighbor across the street. It is so cool!

Our little eaglet may never make it out of the egg cup. It is so deep. LOL You can just see its head peeking up.

Lolly said...

The video freezes on me as well.

paula eagleholic said...

I thought it was just me, Deb, I can't get video to play properly either...

Mits said...

lol....my video keeps freezing out at 7 seconds

Lolly said...

Well, we are all in good company!

Mits said...

bummer, not just me:(

Lolly said...

Back out to the yard. Paula, keep up the good work with the camera.

BBL

hedgie said...

Yep, freezes at 7 secs for me, too.

paula eagleholic said...

Maybe it will work later...

deb said...

I have tried everything to make it work, can't. I can play some of it, advance play a little more, etc. Darn! :( What i can see is really nice!

paula eagleholic said...

Does it have sound?

I can manually advance it some...but then just stops and says buffering...

floralgirl said...

Oh, it has sound:)

Steve Chase said...

Sorry, I've been trying to get it to work for an hour and it won't go further than 7 seconds...It works fine on my computer. Paula, I'll email it to you.

floralgirl said...

I can get to 33 seconds , then that's it. You can hear the chick.

paula eagleholic said...

I'll keep my eyes open for it!

Maybe it will let me reprocess it...

deb said...

Thanks for trying, Steve, what we can see is so cute!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Thanks Steve!!

paula eagleholic said...

I got it...give me a few minutes...

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Still having trouble getting the blog posts to come to my email, darn Frontier!!

Mits said...

thanks, Steve, I had 7 seconds of sound:)

wvgal_dana said...

OH OMGOODNESS IT HAS SOUND OUR CHICK IS PEEPING tears and happy tears ....Mine is freezing also.

Steve isn't that chick too old to be born on the 16th of March?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Our new baby is so precious!

hedgie said...

Dana, darlin', TODAY is the 16th!!!

Mits said...

I don't know what I would do without them coming to my email, I'm spoiled.

paula eagleholic said...

Hang on...it's processing....:):)

Mits said...

hanging:)

wvgal_dana said...

Lynn did Steve say by looking at the live feed down there when the chick hatched?

hedgie said...

No, Dana, he didn't say. The assumption had been Sat., based on actions of Lib and Belle, but chick looks like it could be a bit older than that, so.....we just don't have anyhting definite...thanks to a deep cup, blocked views, and no live feed for so many days.
Steve took down the video...he'll work on it form home, he said.

deb said...

Both!

wvgal_dana said...

I thought they were going to rewind the LIVE FEED and find out when the chick was hatched?

Mits said...

1 wants to switch, other wants to stay

Mits said...

I'm going back to still:)

paula eagleholic said...

Switch in process....

Mits said...

nice wing stretch

floralgirl said...

Radar shows it's probably raining there now.

wvgal_dana said...

Darn live feed froze when beak was in nest cup.

paula eagleholic said...

Belle tenting now...

paula eagleholic said...

Steve said I could put the video on youtube...just waiting on them to finish processing it...

And like a watched pot....LOL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I was just going to say it looks like some serious tenting going on!

glo said...

I see a beautiful tenting eagle.

glo said...

wow that has to be a record right there three commetns in a row seeing the same thing LOL.

hedgie said...

THink it's raining now at nest....Mama keeping things dry.

wvgal_dana said...

Great Paula because I sure loved that "peeping" sound ( :

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks so much to the video Production Unit for processing this video of our first chick


NCTC 1st Chick Noon Feeding with Sound

T-Bird said...

What's the word on the other two eggs?

T-Bird said...

I love the tenting.

Mits said...

AWESOME PAULA... and thanks to you too Steve, and video dept:)

deb said...

Thank you, Steve, Paula and the video team! That is a great video clip!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

That baby is so grown up!

T-Bird said...

Thank you Steve and Paula for the video. What love it shows!

wvgal_dana said...

Sniffle Sniffle and Happy Sniffle ( :

Thank you Steve, Paula, as Mits said the video dept. and anyone else involved in that video clip. The sound of our 1st peeping chick is awesome. The tenderness of a Mother Bald Eagle feeding a tiny chick is a "Miracle" without NCTC Steve and the guys and this blog and live feed. Would not have been possible. I am greatful to ALL----Thanks EVEYONE !!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

What Dana said!!!

Mema Jo said...

I came on not a moment too soon.
That video clip is without a doubt the most heart warming scene of a
"Mother & Child" reunion !!! Brought tears to my eyes!
Thank you Lib & Belle!
and all of you faithful eagle buddies! Thank you Steve and audio dept and Paula for getting that out to us!

paula eagleholic said...

Heading home...catch ya'll later!

Mits said...

they have changed the view on the WildWatch osprey cam today

deb said...

Raining on HH osprey.

Mema Jo said...

Feeding on our cam?

deb said...

We are getting some good slo-mo feeding views!

T-Bird said...

we sure are!!

Mema Jo said...

Love those little black eyes

Remember that every time Paula went home or Anne left work - we would get some
action at the nest last season.......

Mema Jo said...

What is that all about with the wings ??

T-Bird said...

I don't know Mema Jo but I think it is beautiful.

glo said...

Cute video thanks Video Production Unit Steve and Paula. I am enjoyin gour little cutie.

Mema Jo said...

I had Surgeon's appointment today and he is very pleased with the recovery. Next
appointment next Monday when staples would be removed. Saw the xray and looks very sturdy with that rod the whole way down the front! Putting feet up now - did stop for dinner before coming home.

Be back this evening..........

T-Bird said...

Good news Mema Jo.

deb said...

Has a chick been spotted at OK yet? I think I saw one, but I am not sure. Not again, I wish these eagles would just stand up and let us have a good long look. :)

glo said...

OK MeMa Jo Good to hear. I will be Dancing with the Stars Tonight LOL..time to exchange the computer screen for a TV screen for a while.

Its been a good day in many ways.

Mits said...

I watched for awile at OK today, Deb,never saw her move off the eggs

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Great video of our new babe!!

hedgie said...

Could there be too many trying to watch video clip? I can't get it to finish loading.....

deb said...

Just checked the Forum that Never Sleeps and 3 full eggs at 2:30 CDT.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mema Jo, really good news. I guess the leg is mending right on time!

Mits said...

thank God they never sleep:)

glo said...

Hedgie I couldn't get it to load on my laptop so went to my desktop...I have several cams up on my laptop though so not sure if that was my problem. Keep trying...maybe bookmark...restart and go there first..then pull up Blog, etc etc. just a thought.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Speaking of sleeping, I did that most of the day yesterday and it was wonderful!

hedgie said...

Okay, Glo, will try that. Didn't have any trouble w/ earlier ones, and had same stuff open, but maybe sound makes it harder!! Will go to PC.

deb said...

Still two eggs in Tulsa, that might be it for them.

hedgie said...

OMG...what a lovely sight and sound that was!!!! Thanks Paula, and Steve and NCTC folks!! Just beautiful!!

Mits said...

eagle up at OK

Mits said...

never mind its back down again saw 2 eggs

Mits said...

BRS near Knoxville

deb said...

I was watching,too, Mits. I thought I saw all three eggs.

Tomorrow is Day 35 for Norfolk, so a hatching could be coming there soon, also, in the next few days.

Mits said...

heading to pass thru Sevierville, been there once, loved it, saw Lee Greenwood at his theatre, don't know if he still has one there.

Mits said...

I saw a 3rd object, was not sure if it was egg or chick...

deb said...

I wish it were a chick, day 38 for first egg. I thought there was a hole on Sunday, but maybe not.

paula eagleholic said...

Steve also posted an update on the cam page...

Eagle Nest Updates
Winter Update #2 - March 16, 2009
Our first egg hatched out on Saturday, and the young eaglet looks healthy. The other two eggs are still in the nest, but have been hard to see. We hope they hatch out as well in the next several days.

Typically, bald eagle eggs will hatch in about 35 days, but there are instances where the time is as long as 45 days.

Remember that not all eggs are viable, although these adults have been very diligent this year in keeping the eggs warm and dry.

floralgirl said...

Thanks Paula and Steve:) that was a great video- love hearing the chick.

paula eagleholic said...

I think I heard someone else mention a possible hole at OK also...on another forum....

paula eagleholic said...

The thanks go to Steve and NCTC...I just put in on youtube.

movin said...

What happened to the video from Steve and Paula??

"We're sorry. This video is no longer available"

!!!???

Jim

Mits said...

My video worked fine.

paula eagleholic said...

Try it again Jim. Youtube gives out that message sometimes...I just clicked the link and it came up fine for me...

Costume Lady said...

Thank you NCTC and Paula for that sweet video. That is the cutest chicklet I have ever seen:) He/she has been hiding from us for so long, maybe we should call it HEIDI. LOL

Mits said...

well so far that is the best name yet:)

Costume Lady said...

JIM, video is probably worn out already!!

paula eagleholic said...

Heidi HO!

T-Bird said...

you might be kidding Wanda but it might stick-i kinda like it

Mits said...

sun is out at Caltran

T-Bird said...

feeding

Mits said...

EAGLE UP

deb said...

I really like Heidi, good name, Wanda.

Costume Lady said...

Yes, it would be cute if the chick is female, but who knows.
You know, I can't remember our babies being that cute from last year:) My heart is just melting!

T-Bird said...

seems like there is a feeding every half hour or less

movin said...

OK, Paula, Steve, it is a great video.

It would not open with my FireFox, but I remembered that Paula uses Explorer. So I got my copy out of mothballs, and it opened the clip just fine.

Minnie the Moocher♫♫♪♫
Hidehidehidehi....Hodehodehodeho

ceil said...

I just watched the video. No problem with it. LOve the name Heidi but suppose it is a boy. I don't think he would like it. LOL
So glad we finally saw it. All weekend I would read there it is. I just got new $700.00 glasses and could not see it. Was about to call the eye doctor.

Mits said...

Did you get the new modem Ceil?

ceil said...

Off to watch wheel of fortune

Mits said...

set up time at Saline

wvgal_dana said...

Paula thanks for putting in here on blog that Steve said chick hatched Saturday so that would be March 14th date of birth. Heidi is a cute name Wanda since it hide so much from us....I like it!! ( :

T-Bird said...

belle seems to be looking for lib

ceil said...

I got it and it is hooked up but still needs tweaking. I think it is me. As I get older my manners are going. Thanks to Steve and everyone on the great video. Thanks Paula for putting it on youtube. BBL

deb said...

I can hear Bill today!! First time.

Mits said...

Bill is really breaking up tonight, usually is very smooth running.

deb said...

Thought it was just me, he sure gets going.

T-Bird said...

how about Hidey for a boy and Hidei. Let's play with the spellings.

Mits said...

he really is impressed with himself, bet the neighbors hate it

Mits said...

well since we are never ever going to know the sex, it really does not matter, I guess.....

wvgal_dana said...

I'm beginning to think all these nest are going to have later than 35 day hatchings.

BWE 1st was 38 days incubation.
Ours 1st was 42 days incubation (if that was the 1st egg.

Oklahoma 1st egg 35 days was March 13 already passed it is now 38 days and still going.

Caltrans 1 egg 35 days was March
13 aleady passed it is now 38 days and still going.

paula eagleholic said...

Heidi or Hidey is great...

paula eagleholic said...

What is that?

Spidey's web...

T-Bird said...

what?

glo said...

yippee I think our little one might have a name...i don't care how its spelled, i have never in 4 years spent so many days trying to see an eaglet in a nest!!!!

magpie said...

Hey !

I am not the only one that saw a feeding a short time after 7 pm am I?
I enlarged the live feed pic and saw that little ball of grey fluff with a black mask wiggling around in the nest...

Good Evening Everyone ! ☺

Costume Lady said...

I can't help but wonder, if the eagle's eggs were laid so early, would that have ANYTHING to do with their late hatching? You wouldn't think so, but it's happening with others.

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is up

Mits said...

I've stopped wondering, hurts the head:(

T-Bird said...

good evening magpie

magpie said...

A something else just now for a few minutes.

Spidey web thread is like a Palm Frond being waved over Belle's head... ☺

Costume Lady said...

Margy, glad your home and seeing our little cutie. Did you see the video? Check it out, if you haven't.

floralgirl said...

It sure is nice to be able to see that darn spider web blowing in the breeze.

Costume Lady said...

I can't believe you said that, Megan:):)

magpie said...

Read blog, watch cam, read blog, watch cam...
Caught up except for viewing Deb's slide shows.
Thanks to all for the great pictures, and Especially Paula and the NCTC Staff for the Magnificent Video with Sound !

Nice egg-turning? right then

Hi T-Bird !

floralgirl said...

Some more rain showers are headed towards the nest.

Costume Lady said...

Oh, I gottcha...glad to any movement!

Mits said...

off to fix dinner and watch House.

T-Bird said...

I like it-the glass is half full!

magpie said...

Yeah, Megan it bears repeating, we do soooooo need rain...


Howdy Hey everyone !

Hidey, Heidi - Great names !

magpie said...

I can't remember: Who is the Sandhill Crane person on here?

magpie said...

Mits I saw a cute little beany baby Anteater yesterday, must go back for it ! (at GoodWill)

T-Bird said...

i don't know Magpie

floralgirl said...

Oh, yeah, I opened the pictures of that anteater, it is adorable- in some strange way...odd looking little creature.

magpie said...

From my friend in New York (near Lake Erie):

"Hundreds of Tundra Swans flying north this weekend, some
of them are stopping to rest and eat for a while. This morning a
flock came over with a Sandhill Crane flying in formation with the
swans. That was very neat, I have been hoping to see one.
"
Drool...

Bird looking straight up OUR nest - was....

paula eagleholic said...

Genie is the sandhill crane fan.

Those baby aardvarks are sooooooooo cute!

magpie said...

Thanks Paula!

I think I shall email her the comment from my friend...

Aaargh cannot see the slide show Deb posted...only the left hand of the nest view shows :(

But I sure loved all those pictures!

magpie said...

Rustling in the nest again

hedgie said...

I like Hidey/Heidi, too....spelling doesn't matter!!!
Hi Margie! Bet your day has been l-o-n-g!! Know you couldn't wait to get home and check out the nest activity!!!

magpie said...

One thing I like about the still cam when it is ahead of the Live, gives a preview of what is coming along !

paula eagleholic said...

I like that too, Magpie

magpie said...

And time for my Manners !

Mema Jo
Great Report....and No Surprise that your recovery is going well, with your "Home Health Care" including " Mr. Jo.." (Ed ! )
xo ☺ ♥

magpie said...

...not sure which is more exhausting: Trying to catch up on the day's events, or working a
12-hour shift at 9-1-1 !


Big time tenting going on

magpie said...

Eagle scootched down in the nest at Lake Washington

magpie said...

Okla fussing with nest now

magpie said...

She was just sort of up, Okla, but I could only see a little of the eggs nothing definitive

magpie said...

Looks like Maine Forum's got it covered pretty well, so I will just watch

LW really relaxing in her nest


I have to get up and MOVE - have computer neck and shoulders!

normabyrd said...

OH MY!!!---Couldn't figure out what was the light on the side of the nest!!----I guess that is SPIDEY??

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, I will put in my 2 cents worth - I love the name Heidi!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Or Hidey, named after Spidey!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

So, how is everyone on this fine evening??

deb said...

Margie, I talked to Janie today and she said hundreds of Tundra Swans were in her area of Idaho this weekend.

paula eagleholic said...

Norma = just Spidey's web

Hidey rhymes with Spidey.

normabyrd said...

I STILL THINK WE SHOULD NAME THE CHICK----STEVY!!!!!!!!---- Who gets to name the chick???----We will need 2 more names----

normabyrd said...

Any of the chicks will be hiding!---BELLE has such a deep bowl there---She has been digging most of the day!!

T-Bird said...

Well gang don't let the bed bugs bite. I hope you all have a fine night. Later gator and all that jazz.

Lisa said...

Nobody emailed me! Major congrats on your chick!!!!!

magpie said...

Sounds wonderful, Deb !


Stevy - that IS a good idea, Norma...hopefully we will be able to play around with Two or Three Names !

hedgie said...

You know...after watching the video again, I think that something scared Belle that made her stop feeding and cover little "Hidey"---the way she suddenly looked up & around made me think that there was a threat of some kind. Anybody else notice it?

magpie said...

Lisa...
I think we all lost our MINDS and our MANNERS over the week-end...
and some of us even changed our monikers!

Sorry for the Faux Pas...

When we are not watching OUR Nest, we are often watching YOURS xo ☺

normabyrd said...

I HAVE NEVER EVER HAD A VOTE ON THE NAME OF THE CHICK!!!---or have I ever been asked----since day 1---when I suggested naming the chick "YEAGER"---(1st man to break the sound barrier!!)
STEVE makes all of this possible---even gave us a new thread at 11:00 pm!!!---- I STILL VOTE FOR THE NAME "STEVY"---but guess it has already been decided!!!

normabyrd said...

Thanks MAGPIE!---But it has already been decided!!-----like the others!!--It's ok---

floralgirl said...

I don't think anything has been decided at all-

Costume Lady said...

Norma, the eaglet's name hasn't been decided. I just made a remark earlier about the chick should be called Heidi, because it was hiding for so long....It sounded like a good name to some. But there has been no vote.

magpie said...

Hedgie
I noticed the same thing on the video and thought the same thing.

I'm all frozen up here, computer, AND BODY - time to clean things up and myself too !

TTFN Back Later...xoxo ☺

Mits said...

I don't remember voting last year.

floralgirl said...

I think the only vote was for names for the adults.

normabyrd said...

I'M SO VERY SORRY!!---I very RARELY sound off like that----please forgive me--- really don't care what you name him!!----

deb said...

We didn't vote last year, the names just evolved. Didn't people called the last one by different names?

magpie said...

Here is the last line from my friend about the Tundra Swans and the LONE Sandhill Crane that I should have posted earlier...

"... It was
calling loudly right along with the swans. "

Sent the message to Genie..

Well, NOW, TTFN xo

deb said...

That's okay, Norma!

Raccoons at Saline.

Eagle is still tenting, are you getting a nice rain?

hedgie said...

HO, Norma.....no vote! Just speaking our thoughts out loud!

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Deb, the middle chick was called Middy, Midly and Sharon had a similar name for it. It's all good:)

normabyrd said...

I'm SERIOUS---'HIEDY' --is a great name!!

hedgie said...

Yes, Deb, pretty decent at the moment. It's been on and off nuisance until about an hour ago and now a steady light rain.

paula eagleholic said...

Norma - You suggested Glennis and Yeager as one of the set of names when we were voting to name Lib and Belle.

I think we should have a vote this year...we haven't in the past, because the names just evolved...

What do ya'll think???????

Mits said...

what were the chicks names last year?

Mits said...

I don't care eaglet is a fine name.

floralgirl said...

Eaglet #1!

Costume Lady said...

PEARL, MIDDY AND TINY.

Mits said...

thanks:)

Costume Lady said...

Back to Dancing.

hedgie said...

HO, Norma.....no vote! Just speaking our thoughts out loud!

deb said...

Black Cat at Saline.

Voting sounds fun!

deb said...

Spidey is alive and hunting!

wvgal_dana said...

It was in 2006 that there was talk about voting on the eaglets names after we had thousands of comments already made. I then mentioned we keep the names of the eaglets and instead vote on naming the adults. Like they had at the Wilson Bridge "George and Dorothy". That is when we all put different names in. Paula did the poll and SWEET LADY NORMA you did put in a vote for the adult eagle to me named "YEAGER". The most mentioned got down to 3 or 4 names to finally vote on. That is how we came up with Liberty and Belle. Keeping the eaglets Bigboy, MsInBetween, and Spunky. Those names for the eaglets was ones that was just mentioned as the chicks grew and the names stuck.

hedgie said...

Here we go again...blogged cop posted my comment twice at an interval!!

paula eagleholic said...

Was that spidey's foot...or did you see all of him...

hedgie said...

A vote sounds good, Paula!

paula eagleholic said...

What!! I'm missing Dancing!
