Mits said...

Good morning everyone, have a nice Sunday.

paula eagleholic said...

Mits said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And I still 3 intact eggs.

paula eagleholic said...

That was one time the slo mo was cool...of eagle leaving the nest!!

Mits said...

yep, looks like 3 intact eggs to me too.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Was just reading the obits online in the Bluefield paper. This woman had a daughter whose last name was "Fix" and another whose last name was "Booze". Thought those were pretty interesting last names.

Mits said...

how sloooooow can you go...What do you think after last roll, Paula?

Mits said...

been funnier if they were first names:)

Mits said...

was the daughters' first name quick:)?

paula eagleholic said...

Still 3 eggs Mits!

Gonna log off for awhile and process video of the switch!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Oh, it sure would have! :) Me and Donna used to always read the obits together to pick out the "interesting" stuff in them!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

No, Ruth or Ruby or something like that. But that would have been good.

Mits said...

NORMA, I sent you the eagle chart.

normabyrd said...

HH OSPREY seems to be looking at her shadow---ho!----The RED TAG is still there!!

Mits said...

snow in Kent nest.

Mits said...

she has an egg, Norma

wvgal_dana said...

CAN ANYONE SEE THE HH EGG??

Both Osprey were gone and I didn't see an egg that was laid yesterday? Unless it was under some fluff.

normabyrd said...

SHARON---Did you watch the WVU game last night----Heart breaker!--Came with in 2--to 4 pts of beating LOUISVILLE!!!----It was back & forth!-----JERRY WEST was honored!!---hard to see our heroes
with grey hair!!---HE IS STILL WAY COOL!!!

wvgal_dana said...

I DON'T SEE THE EGG THAT WAS IN THE NEST AT HH???

normabyrd said...

DANA---Would be hard to see that EGG!----SEEMS She is always on alert!!

Mits said...

Thanks to our viewer's watchful eyes, the first egg of the 2009 season has been spotted. Osprey usually lay two to four eggs within one to two days apart. Each egg is approximately the size of a chicken egg, mottled and cinnamon colored; is incubated for about 5 weeks to hatching and both parents help to incubate the eggs.

We may have another egg any day so keep watching.

wvgal_dana said...

Well she must have hid it becasue I certainly seen it clearly yesterday. Hope she has placed it under nest materials.

deb said...

Sea Eagles at Finny's!

Mits said...

it was right there at the top before she plopped down, it is not a white egg.

Mits said...

boy it is good to see them back, Deb

wvgal_dana said...

NORMA I think she is playing hide and seek with me at HH Osprey Nest lol

Mits said...

that is just one beautiful site of the sea eagles

wvgal_dana said...

2nd egg supposely there at HH. Off their blog: Jo said...
The second egg is there!! I saw her rotating both of them just a few minutes ago!

08 March, 2009 10:32

deb said...

I saw one egg, but who knows what is under all that fluff.

deb said...

Both eagles in LW again.

wvgal_dana said...

I see one beautiful brownish speckled egg at HH

deb said...

GHOW is in the NM nest.

NM Owl

deb said...

Switch our nest.

Mits said...

sure is an unusual looking nest, wish they would get rid of the annoying Chat Room

Lolly said...

Good morning! Just wanted to get on long enough to say hi. Have been watching our nest while getting ready and eating breakfast. We are hitching up and heading out. Won't be back on til this afternoon. Maybe Belle will wait til I am home. :)

Have a fantastic day chatting and watching! It is cloudy and we may have a rain to travel in. Texas needs rain....as the song says!

BBL...this evening!

deb said...

I hope you get that rain, Lolly. HH osprey is up, I saw one egg.

deb said...

I have it shrunk down, so didn't notice the chat room. Owl is sure pretty, and ITS AWAKE!

Mits said...

that owl is gorgeous.

deb said...

I wanted to see the eggs, but the owl just looked around and settled back down.

Mits said...

love their names, my long time neighbors across the street names are Al and Betty

Mits said...

plastic snowman on the cam has fallen down.

paula eagleholic said...

Got the video done...

Slo Mo Switch! </a

deb said...

Good video, Paula. Turkey at the snowman cam.

paula eagleholic said...

Link looks funny, but it works!

Went out and got the car washed and vacuumed, too!

time for breakfast here...

hedgie said...

That owl nest, made of chicken wire and rubberized tarp, sure IS strange....kind of surprising that they take to it, but sounds like they are opportunists....just wonder what they found attractive about it to settle in there the first year?!?!

NatureNut said...

Good video, Paula. Neat to see a slow mo float off!! ☺

NatureNut said...

Just got GHO in her "hammock". What a beautiful bird.

deb said...

Libby Dam nest is snow covered.

deb said...

EAGLE UP!

NatureNut said...

Hornby broadcast has been disconnected. Try again later. Birds were gone anyway.

deb said...

I saw one egg, the others were in the fluff, I guess.

deb said...

I have both eagles in Hornby, oops now one. It is very windy there.

NatureNut said...

Blow up Snowman is bouncing all over the place on that cam!

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle up!

NatureNut said...

Egg roll--3

paula eagleholic said...

Moving fluff

paula eagleholic said...

Snow white looks closest to 6 position

paula eagleholic said...

Someone is at BWE blocking the signal!

NatureNut said...

Checked the old Delta 1 at Sidney, BC & cam says "looking for sponsors"! Wonder if the eagles repaired that nest.Part of it fell away at fledge time. I miss Teddy!

deb said...

I decided it was time to tackle the sidewalk and driveway, but someone beat me to it! I think my neighbor across the street. I saw him doing quite a few driveways on his side of the street.

NatureNut said...

Well Deb, isn't that nice!

deb said...

Yes, it was! It will mostly melt today if the weather is right, supposed to get to 40.

paula eagleholic said...

Heading outside...will be checking cam

wvgal_dana said...

Well it is 80° here at my house.

Large woodpecker is taking the feed from my bird feeder and not the suet pack lol

movin said...

It looks like two chicks at the Hummer nest now...

paula eagleholic said...

floralgirl said...

Eagle up our nest- see 3 eggs

hedgie said...

Space Shuttle launch is scheduled for Weds. 3/11 at 9:20 PM....if we have clear skies, those of us on the east coast will be able to see it!! For mid-atlantic region, watch the southeastern sky when they say that it is about 900 miles downrange!!! I'll remind you again Weds.!!!

paula eagleholic said...

I think BWE could use some fresh vittles...

Mits said...

well that is going to be cool, if clear. although moon will be very bright.

Mits said...

there is some leftover food at BWO

paula eagleholic said...

Eating time BWE - little more rabbit

movin said...

I think that's snow I see falling at Kent now! It had melted most of it from last night already.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

switch our nest

paula eagleholic said...

If the Mount wins their semi final today, they will play Robert Morris who just crushed Quinnipiac.

paula eagleholic said...

Back outside....BBL

deb said...

I see snow in Kent, too. I think there is still only one egg in HH. Maine Forum has been down most of the day.

paula eagleholic said...

Egg roll our nest, I see one black spot

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Paula, I saw the black spot too!

deb said...

Darn, of all times to do an update and restart my computer. I missed it.

paula eagleholic said...

I put pic on blog...gotta go shower...

Costume Lady said...

We have been 'seeing things' for two days now, but the photo that Paula just posted, looks more promising than all the others we have seen. Hope it is what it is:)

deb said...

More food delivered to BWE.

NatureNut said...

Was out for awhile, drove near a creek & heard FROGGIES!!!! I love that sound.

hedgie said...

That is a good shot, Paula....sure LOOKS like a hole!!!

NatureNut said...

Hooray, a SPOT! And while I was out, Fubby closed all my sites. Finally my Live cam opened!

T-Bird said...

hello everyone

deb said...

It took forever for mine to open, too. I thought it was my computer.

T-Bird said...

paula and eagle-eye, do we have one?

wvgal_dana said...

I do believe from Paula's great picture. We have chick breaking through. Looks like the tooth hole.
Oh boy !! Oh boy !!

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Thelma yes I do believe we are into a hatching.

floralgirl said...

Sweeeeeeet....

NatureNut said...

Hope we can say..."Look Dick, Look Jane!See Spot run!!"

Lolly said...

Okay....I am home. Eaglet # 1 can hatch!

deb said...

Jo must have her leg up today resting. I hope she isn't having any pain.

NatureNut said...

NatureNut said...

Welcome home, Lolly. Good timing.
Paula, hope Mount wins!

BBL--gotta see about din din

glo said...

Man I don't want to be a sore sport but sure would be easier to know whats happening if the moving things on the live cam could actually move a little more consistently. Geula might get her birthday present soon. But is it March 9 in Isreal yet lOL.

Lolly said...

Good picture, Paula! Yea!

glo said...

Ha Ha guess this littl eone gets born in Shepherdstown time which still works for Geula for a while yet.

glo said...

I hav e"live" zoomed in...what special expressions and head nods I am seeing...cute or sweet whatever. Listening for us I guess.

hedgie said...

I was thinking that live wasn't showing much faster activity than 30 sec. cam, too....
Hi Thelma! Hey, Lolly, is home really home or just back to the camp???

T-Bird said...

Funny you mention that Lynn, home is back to the camp not were the heart is right now.

Mits said...

feeding BWE

T-Bird said...

I feel an eaglet coming on!

wvgal_dana said...

Welcome back Lolly!

DEB HH has a forum earlier this morning a lady name Jo put a comment that there was now 2 eggs. I put that information on this thread. Since that I have been in checking. The moderator took her comment off. Since it was wrong. Only 1 egg in HH nest laid 11:56 March 7th.

hedgie said...

Don't you just know that this will be a nighttime hatch and we won't be able to see???

T-Bird said...

How long does a hatching take from start to finish?

wvgal_dana said...

Our eggs are showing.

Mits said...

around 24 hours or so, Thelma

deb said...

I watched it, too, Dana and saw only one egg.

deb said...

My live feed had eggs showing forever, just now moved forward.

T-Bird said...

thanks MITS, I knew you'd have it

wvgal_dana said...

From Lisa's BWE page:
When the eaglet is ready to hatch, it will turn itself inside the egg and pierce the egg’s air sac, then the chick will take its first breath of air from within the shell. Next the chick will use its neck muscles and egg tooth (on the tip of its beak) to pip or punch a small hole in the shell. The eaglet will continue to slowly turn and peck until it has cut a hole around the diameter of the shell so that it can push out the bottom half and free itself. This process is very tiring for the chick and can take 24 hours to complete since the young bird will frequently stop to rest. Once the eaglet is out, it will be wet and tired with its eyes closed, but it won’t be long before it dries off and is soon able to see and sit up.

Mits said...

saw 3 eggs, did not see the black spot that time.

deb said...

There is still a black spot on an egg. I'll post the picture.

T-Bird said...

thanks Dana, great info

Mits said...

thanks, Deb.

NatureNut said...

Our parent got up for little while---could see all 3 eggs, but don't think the SPOT was showing.

deb said...

I think it is a black spot and not grass. It is on the egg that is in back of the other two.

NatureNut said...

Saw a dark mark toward bottom of well, but looked like on aq different egg, unless they got rolled earler.No roll this time, but some staring!

Mits said...

then it is a different egg that has the spot, last pics awhile back had it on an egg in left side of nest cup ???

deb said...

They have been rolled since Paula's picture was posted.

Mits said...

got cha!!

NatureNut said...

Deb, I have pretty much the same pic as yours. Thought maybe spot on bottom of back egg.

Mits said...

sunset coming up at 7:11 p.m.

deb said...

Thats what I think, Loretta.

Lolly said...

We are home home!! ☺ We are unloaded and we had to leave for a while to get Annie (the cat) from camp.

wvgal_dana said...

I'm now down to waiting for something greyish and fuzzy. lol
Too many spots around for me to tell anything for sure except Paula's definately had a black spot. Not saying that you alls don't.

hedgie said...

Just saw--and heard--a gaggle of geese heading north! Hooe they aren't going being fooled by this summery weather!

glo said...

I think its time for grayish and fuzzy too but as time passes the chances of us seeing it are getting trickier as night starts to fall. I think I will back away from the computer for a while which might help you all see a hatch LOL.

hedgie said...

Well, you know what I meant to say! Guess fingers and brain were not in sync!!!

T-Bird said...

LOL glo

Mits said...

where did our eagle go??

wvgal_dana said...

Watch the cam on HH where the sunset hits the Osprey.

deb said...

Eggs were alone, darn glare.

Mits said...

yes, Deb, when I brought it back up nest was MT, went to Still and eagle was there.

wvgal_dana said...

OK My thinking is this: The one you all are calling Snow White. Has decided not to come out due to taking care of 7 men. The one you all are calling Frosty. Has decided not to come out because it is smart and it know being Frosty lol in this warm weather it "melts". Then their is Lu (loo) it knows that means it goes somewhere and doesn't come back for lonnnnnnnggggggg periods. That my story and I'm sticking to it. lol

deb said...

It was only one refresh that they were alone. Eagle was there when I posted, at 12 ish. Then gone and replacement arrived. I got pictures, I need to check them out.

deb said...

Sun is very pretty on the osprey nest.

wvgal_dana said...

or (Lou) if boy

Mits said...

back up

Mits said...

back down

deb said...

Between the glare and zooming in it is really bad picture. I missed getting a shot, on that roll.

Mits said...

seems very alert tonight

T-Bird said...

sure does MITS

wvgal_dana said...

Wonder if there would be a rainbow if it would shine on the HH Osprey like that sunset is?

T-Bird said...

Ofcourse, I'm excited and ready so it could be me paying more attention than normal.

Mits said...

I don't get excited til I see a live chick.

magpie said...

Whoo Hoo, just made it on before the Split..maybe..xox Hi Everyone !

magpie said...

I thought I saw that T-Byrd peeking out from the comments ☺
