Thanks for the new thread, Steve, I'll let everyone know!

magpie said...

Thanks Deb ☺
and Thanks Steve ☺ ☺

Mits said...

Thanks, Deb and Steve:)

magpie said...

Parent back OUR nest ☺

magpie said...

Hedgie

Saw that Chrissy thought it was Skye, then read another update that it might be Isla...

I was speed-reading a little though.

Lolly said...

Good morning! Our little eaglet has grown since I saw him last Thursday!

magpie said...

Scottish Site says Isla returned to the nest late on March 20 -

magpie said...

That didn't exactly look like a feeding, just some cuddling...♥

magpie said...

Egg roll AGAIN at LW

Lolly said...

Are the eggs gone?

paula eagleholic said...

Nope Lolly, still one unhatched egg in our nest...other one disappeared.

Lolly said...

Thank you, Paula! Just trying to catch up!

magpie said...

I would like to think that the "Lost" egg has become either part of the nest of part of an Eagle meal.....to continue the spirit of its loss throughout the nesting and fledging season....

magpie said...

Eaglet in view at OKLA - one, and two eggs and one adult

magpie said...

cams pics are a few seconds apart

Precious !

Mits said...

I saw pieces of cracked egg last week, over the nest, took a pic, but deleted it.

Lolly said...

Feeding at OK. Bad weather is headed their way tonight and tomorrow. We will be having possible thunder storms, as well.

deb said...

TV's at BWO.

magpie said...

Eggs looked intact on one view, and I thought I one spot on each egg on another view...

all tucked underneath now..

Well, sorry about that:

Hi LOLLY


Thanks for the Nest Reports,
Mits xo

magpie said...

Okay, paybacks Lolly, can you give me the site for Sidney please ?

Thanks in advance, if you can...xo

NatureNut said...

Good Morning Everyone in Eagletland!!!☺
Very sunny at our nest, but chilly I bet. Eaglet should be "sat upon" today!
I've been forgetting to see Atlanta Panda! Gotta do that & not be on 'puter too much---last free day to do tons of neglected stuff around the house.

magpie said...

I'll trade you something for it....

Lolly said...

Hi Margy! We had a great time. Our boys made new friends, they always do, and then played so hard. They even had a vine to swing on over a gully. So much good, healthy fun! They went home to mom with dirty clothes, bruises from playing, and great stories to tell.

Sorry, do not have the blue thingy directions. They are in a pile somewhere.

magpie said...

* Thanks Paula ! *

Doubt if there is anything I can trade you for that you don't already have !! ☺

magpie said...

* Thank you too Lolly...! *

Lolly said...

Thank you, Paula! I have the blue thingy directions but have misplaced them.

magpie said...

Wow Paula! that is definitely One-Stop Shopping there! Thanks again !

Lolly - I can pretend I am outdoors with that one up ! ☺

magpie said...

Sea Eagle at Finneys!

Holey Moley !!!

magpie said...

And Now, TWO !

magpie said...

and now one again, hilarious watching that one eat Snow!

Mits said...

Just shot a quick pic off to Suzanne, so she could see the sea eagles at Finland site

Lolly said...

Poor HI eagle, getting soaked in a downpour!

magpie said...

Well that was quick! Think I will try to post on my Roost Link...back in a few....

magpie said...

I'll try to send them to Suzanne after I post them, now let me see Hornby -
I can see I am really chipping away at my chores !

magpie said...

Egg roll AGAIN at LW - wonder how many she is rolling, think I saw that DEB said maybe two....

magpie said...

2 adults at OK

Lolly said...

Switch and there was a feeding at OK. Now, I have to quit watching and go feed myself. Ha! Have been so busy opening cams, I have not had breakfast!

deb said...

Sea eagle back in Finney's

deb said...

No, Margy, I was in another world part of yesterday. Only one egg in LW, two eggs in Libby!

Mits said...

fish crow at BWO

Mits said...

sea eagle looking right at us at Finland

NatureNut said...

Adult came back to BW nest awhile ago. Boy those chicks look large.
NBG can make you seasick today.
OK was just feeding chick--2 eggs.
Little Luney was hanging around the edge poles of the hammock.
Our baby out in the sun w/adult. Maybe a feeding.

magpie said...

Well, Deb it is sure hard to keep things straight with all these eggs! Thanks for all the info you post, and everyone else !

Our Eagle is up, see the Sea Eagle again, I just posted three might have to add a few more...

I need Parental controls....

Gonna try to make a break....
self-discipline is NOT my strong suit

magpie said...

Lady LW is really busy this morning !

magpie said...

Our little tyke is sacked out !

hedgie said...

Yep, Margy, see where Chrissy sent out her mea culpa!!!
News just reported that Wolong pandas are happy in their new locations....but no sign of an interview with any of them to verify...LOL!!!!

NatureNut said...

Wow, what a sight at Finland Ferry.Maybe some year the eagles will claim that nest. Saaksi 2009 still has snow too.

magpie said...

Hedgie
It's just so exciting to see one or the other in Scotland...so All is Well -
I just had a thought to open it up Saturday and was so pleasantly surprised!

Well, the tour is complete for now, just brought up the Panda Cam - Definitely a wonderful sight


Close up of the baby now...

And Sea Eagle still at Finney's

TTFN - going to try to behave and whittle away at a very long list.
xo

magpie said...

What a cool perch for Xi Lan, and now I guess that could be Mom in view.

I said, TTFN - :(

magpie said...

Six Sea Eagles pix on my Roost Link for anyone who might have missed them, AND there is still an Eagle there now


xo

Good Monday Wishes to everyone...It's already afternoon for some of us....☺

NatureNut said...

Sea eagle just poofed!

I said I was gonna do stuff today, too! Margy, we must really be camaholics! Sharon, start that rehab program!! ☺ (bring your laptop)

Mits said...

Finland sea eagle gone.

magpie said...

Well, I have been forgetting to remember this with all the Wildlife action, but this is the most important message I want to post :

Happy Birthdy Sandy! Hope this is your Very Best Birthday Ever, filled to the brim with ALL your favorite things...xo ☺ ♥ ♪ ♫

magpie said...

Loretta! You got us pegged all right....

there are a bunch of cams I haven't even touched yet today....maybe "later."

xoxox ☺

deb said...

Just had a little heron HP at Wildwatch.

deb said...

Burrowing owl is out at Wildwatch also.

magpie said...

Before I forget something else again, later in the month both ISS and the Shuttle Discovery will be out TOGETHER in the late evening skies...
Here is the site you can check for your area:

Deb I wasn't going to do any more cam hopping but I can't resist, thanks to YOU ! ☺ xo

magpie said...

Feeding at OUR Nest... ☺


Can't ever NOT Watch our birdies

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Mits, are they logging right at the HI nest, can you hear it?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

That is terrible, they have an egg. Reckon there are no rules in British Columbia.

hedgie said...

Thanks, Margy for space update. Didn't realize that Discovery was staying up that long!!!

Mema Jo said...

I have returned and I am just about ready to head out of here. Had to catch up with all of you before leaving.

The link I have for the Decorah IA cam isn't working anymore. Would someone please send me that link. Thanks!

deb said...

Of all times for the Redoubt webcam to quit working, Darn. I imagine it has something to do with the eruption. The cam that shows it from a long ways away is working, but you can't see anything today.

deb said...

Mine doesn't work either, Jo.

deb said...

I found this one at the forum that never sleeps. They sure have the info over there.

Decorah Eagle nest

Mema Jo said...

You all are so good with your comments that I can come on here, read, and be right up to date with you! Well, it will take me the next half hour to get going out of here.
I'll touch base with you all when I return.... ((hugs))

deb said...

South Dakota isn't known as the "Land of Infinite Variety" for nothing. Here is the latest National Weather Service list of weather advisories and watches. Clay County is not on the list anywhere!

NWS Weather Alerts

paula eagleholic said...

OUr chick is snoozing in the sunshine

paula eagleholic said...

OMG look at the whale Lib just delivered!!!

And just as quickly, Lib took off!

Belle didn't even mantle it, she is still on the back of the nest!

hedgie said...

Deb, wonder if the Redoubt cam isn't working because they shut down the observatory?!?

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is gonna grab that tasty fish now!

paula eagleholic said...

She moved the fish to the back of the nest

paula eagleholic said...

Eaglet and egg in the bowl, think Chick is hungry

deb said...

The observatory is still up, Lynn. Most of the work is remote and computerized. Here is the latest update:
Redoubt Volcano Latest Observations
2009-03-23 10:17:31
The eruption of Redoubt volcano continues.

Ash plumes generated by the explosive bursts are drifting north-northeast. Ash fall has been reported in Skwentna and the Chuitna area.

Ashfall advisories are available on the National Weather Service site http://pafc.arh.noaa.gov/volcano.php

AVO's web camera near the volcano is no longer functioning.

AVO is planning an overflight of the volcano later this morning.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like the chick is reaching ever further for food....doing a good job!

deb said...

Lots of noise at Hornby, then both eagles flew off. One is back now.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Afternoon Eagleland.

I have all the comments for today to go back and read.

Hope everyone is well.

I do see 1 check and 2 eggs at OK.

Don't know what all the squealing about is at Hornby?? Maybe one just wanted some relief off egg.

I do also see our chick little cutie.

magpie said...

Isla is on the nest at Scotland

magpie said...

Our little "grandchild" looks great !

paula eagleholic said...

Naptime for our chicklet...Momma gonna cover him up

magpie said...

Deb
did the volcano's eruption affect the operaton of the cams?

paula eagleholic said...

Hmm wonder what the food item is at 6ish in the nest?

grannyblt said...

Afternoon eagle watchers. Our baby is having fish for a late lunch....guess he will be an only eaglet.

Happy birthday to Sandy.

Got e-mail from daughter in AK who says they aren't getting ash in Anchorage, so far.

magpie said...

Sorry Deb see your thought on the webcam a few comments back...

I'm trying to see the WHALE at our nest Paula.

Hi Grannyblt...see any cool birds lately (besides OURS of course ) ?

magpie said...

..And Hi Dana !

deb said...

I think they are lucky to not be getting the ash, Grannyblt, sure hope it stays that way!

magpie said...

Night Light on in Scotland

Loch Lowe's Osprey Nest Scotland

I think they are six hours ahead of us on time ?

magpie said...

One eagle roosting at Maine #1

magpie said...

Ooops Scottish Osprey left the nest

magpie said...

big zoom in at Maine

magpie said...

Little something dark colored bird with a touch of white on its head at BWO

magpie said...

or maybe that is a yellow beak, and some white on the tail...

magpie said...

and now it is invisible :(

wvgal_dana said...

Ok caught up on comments now.
Have some blogs to go look at some pictures I see.

Deb I see you wan't wrong about LW having an egg. lol Just the wrong day. Gal you are GOOD...Maybe I should get you to read my palm lol

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDY!!!

Sounds like OK is going to get very bad weather...
Cute Margy I love the "I'll trade you for a link" lol laughing hard here thanks for laugh.

deb said...

Two eagles in Maine 1.

paula eagleholic said...

Margy - Belle hid the fish behind her...I'll put a pic up for ya.

magpie said...

Okay - thanks, Paula...


Wow it is windy in Maine, I see where "Eagle Eye" expression comes from, they are really watchful...

I'm going to disappear for a little while

xo

magpie said...

So watchful, they disappeared !

magpie said...

Holey Moley, Paula! I'll say whale of a fish! Great picture, thank you !

wvgal_dana said...

Has anyone seen the eagle at LW sitting on the egg? I don't see egg nor Eagle?

NatureNut said...

Great Whale pics, Paula!! Thx.
Just missed that---but maybe I need to rope off doorway to 'puter room!
Good old saying from a Mgr. who used to work at Park was, "I better go do something, even if it's wrong"!

deb said...

Eagle is right next to the tree trunk, Dana. Sometimes its head is behind the trunk.

No eagle at Libby right now, not sure how long it has been gone.

Mits said...

Hi Sissy, was not here when you asked the question about HI, but since this pair has been using the nest for 20 years, don't think much bothers them.

deb said...

Eagle back at Libby.

Mits said...

nice fish shot, Paula

Mits said...

both eagles at LW

Mits said...

one just took off

magpie said...

Loretta, I have managed to cook soup, eat Cream of Wheat and get computer neck ! Now I hope to successfully take a short nap !
Save me some rope if you have any left over....xox

magpie said...

Dana - - I think I would need a periscope to see an egg at LW - sure was pretty seeing two and now one on the branch...and back to the Deep Well...

TTFN xo

deb said...

Eagle back in Maine 1.

Mits said...

could have swore I read in my emails, the there was a 3rd chick at NBG, but their chat room says no..? still 1 egg to go.

Mits said...

eagle up.

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding at BWE...chicks really getting in those pin feathers.

Belle up on the back of our nest...still has her fish in front of her...

NBG - freezing a lot, haven't been able to check it lately

Mema Jo said...

I have returned from Dr appointment & all staples removed and butterfly taped.
Ok to get a little wet and eventually the strips will fall off by themselves.
I go back in 2 weeks when another x ray will be taken. The incisions healed very well. I got a surgical shoe and walking is much easier now because of the support I guess.

I am going in and put my foot up until dinner and I'll try to come back. I read that all the nests have activity in them! Thanks for such good coverage!

paula eagleholic said...

Those BWE chicks are really getting around the nest too!

Our chicklet is snoozing in the sun again!

paula eagleholic said...

NO Mits, you aren't crazy....I posted about the 3rd chick at NBG - read it on another forum...then a couple of posts later, that person said NO 3rd chick yet, so I deleted my post here.

paula eagleholic said...

Forgot about you email people ;)

Mits said...

ok looked for it on the blog too, saw the delete....great news Jo:)

Mits said...

our Chicky getting good Vitamin D

Mits said...

tee hee, can't get away from us:)

Mits said...

only 1 cam working at OK right now

paula eagleholic said...

Sounds like everything is on track JO. Glad to hear it :)

paula eagleholic said...

These eagles are mind readers sometimes....decided to turn on the live feed since she was off the chick...by the time it came on, she was back on chicklet!!

Oh well!

Mits said...

both eagles OK

paula eagleholic said...

Still 2 chicks at NBG...place looks like a regular fish market...

Eating time NBG

Can see something dark on the egg, they are really zoomed.

paula eagleholic said...

NBG - #1 is pecking #2, but #2 isn't laying down for it at all.

paula eagleholic said...

#2 getting fish now...

paula eagleholic said...

#1 pecked number #2 for the third time, chick was down for all of 3 seconds and right back up....sure is a fiesty pair of chicklets!

magpie said...

OKla feeding chick

paula eagleholic said...

Both our nest

magpie said...

Wow that it is a lot of FLUFF in our nest !

magpie said...

I missed the two, sure like the ONE, though..


little voice inside says GET OUTDOORS! (I think it is JO talking to me...☺ )

Going out to "Swanging Bradge to look for some birds and wildflowers, muskrats and beavers !


Good Late Afternoon Wishes for Everyone! xoxox

deb said...

LW egg is rolling the egg somewhere in that deep egg cup.

As much as those two in NBG fight, I feel bad for #3. They are after each other all the time!

I have to go make sure I don't have anything out that can blow away. BBL

NatureNut said...

Just saw some baby beak wrestling at Norfolk! Then Mom sat on them.
Wind is almost blowing Ms OK off nest.
We're getting low of 27 tonight--not spring yet.

Mits said...

great feeding slideshow at NBG.........

The eagles had a very good day of fishing. Two fish are visible in the nest. Biologist Reese Lukei reports as many as seven fish were brought to the nest as of Monday afternoon.

deb said...

Redoubt update:
Redoubt Volcano Latest Observations
2009-03-23 13:59:44
The eruption of Redoubt volcano continues and the color code and volcano alert level remains at RED/WARNING. Sesimic activity remains elevated, but has declined slightly over the past several hours. The last large explosive burst occurred at 4:31 AKDT. There have been several smaller bursts lasting for 1-2 minutes since then. AVO has received no new reports of ash emission in the past hour. Ashfall advisories are available on the National Weather Service site http://pafc.arh.noaa.gov/volcano.php

AVO's web camera near the volcano is no longer functioning. AVO has an overflight of the volcano in progress.

deb said...

Thunder and rain is starting here. I may disappear for awhile if it gets really bad.

Eagle at Maine 1, make that two.

NatureNut said...

OK--both parents, i chick, 2 eggs.
Our eaglet was getting dinner.

deb said...

I wonder what they have for dinner in Maine.

deb said...

I don't see feathers or fur flying, must be a funny looking fish.

Mits said...

chicks in view NBG

Mits said...

the older stronger one is getting all the food.

Mits said...

too bad the parent can't keep track of who needs it most

deb said...

I had turned it off after the last viewing, it kept freezing on me.

deb said...

Maine eagle left, I was hoping it would settle in fro the night.

Mema Jo said...

NBG - The 3rd eaglet still has some work to do to break out of its egg but seems well on its way.

Mema Jo said...

Hoping to see some 'sod balls' appear on the BWO platform soon.

wvgal_dana said...

"Well" I should say that was impolite of LW laying an egg between the trees. When there is a nice spot to the left of the first tree nearest us. She could have made the nest cup there. lol

wvgal_dana said...

Woo Hoo Jo leg sure is coming along lady ( :

NatureNut said...

Was lots of chattering between Hornsby adults. One was off cam.
Kitten ran out of room!!Couldn't find them.

NatureNut said...

YAY, both chicks at NBG getting fed by both parents!

Mema Jo said...

Dana I should be good to go by the time we have our nest visit in June or so....
Hey Loretta! I also will be good to go whenever we travel down the road to see
you!!!

NatureNut said...

Both parents our nest too.

Mema Jo said...

And also - when we come to the zoo Mits - I can rent a scooter!! Bet you won't be able to keep up with me going uphill!

lol I've got Big dreams

Mema Jo said...

Yepper - Belle & Liberty at our nest
with their little eaglet.....

Mema Jo said...

I wonder what is up in their tree or flying by them....... ?

Mema Jo said...

One adult POOF !

Mits said...

your right Jo, you get the scooter and you are a goner:)

NatureNut said...

Jo, you'll be good to go!? Yippee!☺
If we go on boat ride, you will have to walk down plastic (compound?) dock to boat--that's all. People w/wheelchairs can use it. I will check tomorrow on when pontoon boat is starting---was supposed to be May 1.

floralgirl said...

What??? Jo with a scooter at the zoo?? Watch out field trip children, she's coming thru!!.........HAHAHAHAHA
seriously, Jo, sounds like you're doing good, glad to hear it.

Mema Jo said...

Sounds like we will have some get togethers within a few months!


Going to head to the recliner..dinner is finished and time to put leg up with ice!
Still swells quickly!

Mits said...

will have to warn the zoo police to be on the lookout for her:)

Mits said...

can't get into any of the wildwatch cams.

paula eagleholic said...

I was able to get a decent video from the Norfolk 5pm feeding, so I loaded it to youtube

Early fish supper at Norfolk

deb said...

I have LW open, haven't tried any of the others.

Mits said...

I was trying to get the herons and osprey up....

Mits said...

nice video, Paula

paula eagleholic said...

Steve updated the page again....


Updates
Spring Update #1 - March 23, 2009
As of today, we have one eaglet, and one remaining egg. It seems unlikely that this last egg will hatch out, the longer it takes the more improbable a hatch becomes. There are many reasons that eggs can not be viable, including cold temperatures and moisture. We'll probably never know what happened this year, but we can celebrate our one new eaglet.

paula eagleholic said...

I put pics of the large fish brought in earlier by Lib on the EM blog....

Checking out now again...going to son's for late dinner....

Catch ya'll later!

deb said...

I just tried, I can get them all. Two burrowing owls out, oops, osprey cam just went down as I was going to tell you what it looked like. Two heron in the nest tree, one off to the left.

Mits said...

did the thunder storms miss you Deb, was just looking at your radar?

Mits said...

ok, got them on now Deb.

Mits said...

boy those herons are loud

deb said...

Nice video, Paula.

deb said...

They are, aren't they! I turned my sound down.
