1 – 200 of 356 Newer› Newest»GOOD MORNING, STEVE...THANK YOU.
thanks Wanda and Steve
Helen's photo of 8:01am shows the little fuzz ball about as well as I have seen. Hope Steve can send us a photo from their closed ciruit TV.
Hope we can see it for ourselves on the live feed.
Thanks for the new thread Steve- hello again everyone.
Just read this on news page and I'm madder than a hornet!!
WASHINGTON – American International Group is giving its executives tens of millions of dollars in new bonuses even though it received a taxpayer bailout of more than $170 billion dollars.
Well eagle momsters and dadsters I'm going to have to say good-bye for now. I have to get ready to go to Charlottesville. You all hold down the fort.
Then you'll love this- A white paper prepared by the company says that AIG is contractually obligated to pay a total of about $165 million of previously awarded "retention pay" to employees in this unit by Sunday, March 15. The document says that another $55 million in retention pay has already been distributed to about 400 AIG Financial Products employees.
The company says it will work to reduce the amounts paid for 2009 and believes it can trim those payments by at least 30 percent.
AIG is the largest recipient of government support in the current financial crisis.
AIG also pledged to Geithner that it would also restructure $9.6 million in bonuses scheduled to go a group that covers the top 50 executives. Liddy and six other executives have agreed to forgo bonuses.
The group of top executives getting bonuses will receive half of the $9.6 million now, with the average payment around $112,000.
From the earlier thread:
We are at 54° and still dropping this A.M. in So Cal... it will rise to 64° or so this afternoon.
We were due for some light rain in this period, but it's been downgraded to 'mostly cloudy.' But we are getting close to Spring, and I had better replenish the Hummingbird feeder today.
The little mamas have either started or about to start their broods for this Spring.

It's hard to leave the nest today.
Enlarged photo while nestbowl was uncovered is here.
nestbowl uncovered sun am
That is great the way you can make the picture really large, but I can't see much of anything on that pic. It was raining, so they have the fluff up around eggs.
thanks Wanda and Steve:)
I agree Megan I do see an egg...not gonna call much of anything else though for sure.
That's what was visible when I signed on, and my old eyes don't see much of anything. I hope Steve can get us a better picture from the life feed.
looks like pic I got...call it the "mess in the nest shot"
WHOA! STEVE----You are really with the program this am!----Did your ball team win! ho!-----Thanks!
Well time to get ready for church and then off with Dex for a ride with camera...not sure where just yet. Will keep cam up when home but will mostly lurk is the plan now. So hard to "know" much of anything right now but
eagle body language and all that food did send us a message yesterday...we know what our pair are doing whether or not we can share a clear definitive no one will absolutley quesiton it kind of image at this point. No more eye strain here for today.
Good luck
Thanks WANDA!!---Where can one see HELEN'S pic?----Would love to see it!---
T-BIRD---Does SHARON have to go back to Charlottesville?
GLO!---I tried to leave you a comment---but - didn't work!---I wanted to let you know that looking at your pics made me feel I was in EAGLE HEAVEN -- with ANGELS SINGING!!----COOL!!
Yes, Nutty, I too see one egg, but I can't I.D. the chick(s) yet.
Well, one egg means we DO Have Two chicks somewhere in the egg bowl... whether they are the first and second or second and third.
I hope somebody comes up with a baby picture soon.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
MORNIN' SUNNY!---'old eyes'---WHOA!
Now I can tell you about 'old eyes'----ho!
MEGAN---I have been listening to all the news programs---MEET THE PRESS is on now!!----GREED--GREED--GREED--GREED!----makes me sick to even hear it!!
I clicked on Glo's pic and enlarged it further, and you can see a couple of items to the right of the remaining egg, which could be chicks.
Too bad you are still seeing so much glare.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Good morning! Have been reading all the comments since I went to bed. See that there is still not clear image of our eaglet. BUT, we know he is there or "they" are there!
Going to lurk while reading the paper. Then get ready for church. Have those cameras ready and get some great pics.
Have a great day...one of the BEST...we have an eaglet!!!
Helen sent out an email of the 8:01 photo of chick. You can see a grey fuzz ball. Did you get it?
PA SITE----EMPTY!!!!----Word must have gotten out about SPRING TURKEY HUNT is coming soon!---ho!
Whoops! Two our nest, food delivery?
Good morning to you, Norma. Don't you sleep anymore?? I think you were up later than me last night, and now you are so early this morning.
You're great.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Have a blessed Sunday, everyone.
BBL
Megan you have mail.
Switch, and once again they are determined that we will NOT see anything!
Norma you have mail
Both eagles on the nest, one is blocking a view of the egg cup!
MORNIN' LOLLY!!---I so enjoyed looking at your photos---They certainly show us what a wonderful life you share---with your handsome husband & family--thanks--
Good morning everyone. I went to Chattanooga yesterday to visit my brother. He is doing well now. We went out for lunch and had a great visit. I haven't seen anything yet that resembles a chick. I think we all want one so badly we are beginning to hallunicate. Looks like two eggs are missing but show me a chick and I'll believe.
Look just to the right of the egg. Do you think that them?
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
aah JIM!---I love WVU & basketball!----we have a young team---it's a GOOD TEAM!!!--had to watch the final game last night!!---LOUISVILLE won--BIG EAST!!
There was just a feeding not blocking cup area. Saved pic, but don't know if clear. Will check soon---need coffee.
Norma I got your comment..You will see it published now. I have my comments sent to me first to publish...eliminates any kinds of spam or unwanted comments for others to read and you don't have to do that kaptcha or whatever it is to post.
Thanks for your comment. Would sure love some input from you on Glo's Glimpses too...that one doesn't even need me to read first as doesn't efect as many as comments about our cam does. Thanks again.
Red It might be a while before you see a definitve baby but keep on trying. They are putting food into that eggwell on a regular basis it appears.
I "love" your use of the word "them" Jim...but i am being very careul how I word certan things right now LOL.
The Norfolk nest is very wet, and you can see the rain still falling.

Good Morning all in here in Eagleland.
Did we just have a switch in our nest?
Three eggs on view in HH osprey nest.
OK, here's a recent pic they posted on the Maine blog of our nest.
You can see at least 1.5 eggs and what looks like a fuzzy chick to the right of them.
There are one or two interesting shots at the bottom of the previous page too.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
See the Chick(s)
Covered back up. I'll post the picture.
Good morning all. Computer is back up. If I still keep having problems as Wanda said the computer was my anxiety outlet. At this point it is causing too much anxiety. Will give the new modem a shot when it does arrive. Sorry to be so negative. Hope everyone has a great day.
MORNING RED!---It's there---
CEIL great to see that cute picture of that baby seal. Sorry about the modem hope new one arrives and fixes all problems.
Yes we all seem to be having some anxiety. For one reason or another; mostly with still can't see chick good enough.
Red you have mail
OK is up and before wiggled back down...still 3 eggs one with dark spot on it.
Repeating not an echo. Did we have a switch?
Chicks are uncovered at BWE.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim

Wait for it...Wait for it....
Good Sunday Morning Everyone ☺
Posted a picture from 11:26 on my blog- clear shot of nest cup
A couple more talon paces backward please...
Panda up a tree Oops coming down. One panda asleep and one looking through the window at the one sleeping. Love those pandas. Helen think we are going to try to get over to the zoo this week.
Thanks, Megan. At least you can see there are likely 2 eggs remaining, but it's still hard to I.D. the baby in the rest of the nest cup.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
One eagle and back in at Hornby and the deceased object has been removed one way or the other
Red
We missed you yesterday, glad to hear your brother is doing well ! xo
Finney Water Nest is Dreamy this morning, and Every one looks wet at BWE
Great picture of Hilton Head, Deb
Great picture of OUR nest, Megan
Good Late Morning All
Just signing in and going to start reading comments but did check out nest cam and pics in my emails! Thanks so much. Drizzly grey morning here but I am still a happy nestor!
Beautiful sound, killdeer in my neighborhood....♪ ♫ ♪ ♫
C'mon Belle, Jo needs a eaglet fix !
Hi Mema
Hornby has both cams up/running.
I think the wide shot had been off for awhile.
Sigh, the colors are good at our nest and this would be a good time to see MORE
Getting ready to head out to Morgan County...before anyone calls me from work !
Hope everyone has a dreamy day, filled with your favorite things.
xo ☺ ♥ xo
...Sigh...
I'm going to the Loo, Jo.....
hope for some luck...I will lock myself in there for awhile ☺
Hope you get to enjoy your free day, Margy and have fun!
I'm not so sure that there was something like a blob in the Hornby nest. There are cam smudges that look like brown blobs - maybe our eyes were deceiving us.
I am heading in to my recliner
I'll touch base later today...
**Margy, Unlock the LOO door - come on out and be on your way!! There are smiles to be had ((hugs))
Eagle up, nice view of the eagles back.
With all that said - Our eagle is up with back towards us.. I hit refresh every 15 sec - Boy I really do miss our Live Feed - I hope John can get it up/running for us IF it isn't Comcast..
I was having interference in our TV yesterday (I have Comcast) It was flickering on & off frequently
I can see the Orange Talons (feet)
If our little eaglet is down in there and getting fed it Sure Blends in with all that Fluff so well !!
Hi Deb!
Yes, it does blend in well, doesn't it, Jo. Maybe Steve can get us a clip from the cam there. He did that a few times last year.
I really hope so! I just don't think any of us have seen a clear pic of our little lady (usually females are first hatched - but then if we lost the 1st egg this could be our little guy!
I wish we could have one more eaglet hatch - like today.
I had been watching the Hornby eagle in the nest - MT now. It was reallly windy there earlier.
Couldn't get the LW cam up
Read the note Helen posted from Loraine about the Kent nest - I know she must be really disappointed.
That would be nice, Jo. I put a picture up of last view. One regular size, one enlarged. I wish we could enlarge with out the image getting so blurry.
I have LW up Jo. I go through Wildwatch, not Critterzoom. One eagle laying in the nest.
OH! Deb! I really do see him looking at us..... Those 2 little black eyes!
He is at the top (to the left) of the other 2 eggs! Thanks so much
Margy - are you still locked in the
loo? Come on out and look at what you missed - Deb has pic on her blog
I think it shows the eaglet, too, Jo.
Both in our nest
Both!
Look at the look we are getting. It is like he if Lib or she if Belle is very unhappy too that the live feed is down.
gone
Poof!
Missed that - Phone call -
Hi Dana
Howdy Sweet Jo...keep that leg up ..lady you are doing WONDERFUL ( :
eagle is moving.
Light showers passing by...
Umbrella is up! Not raining here but
I guess it is at the nest...
A Member from our church just stopped in and gave me communion
Hubby fixing me late lunch
Our eagle parent is something else!
So beautiful!!!
The Travel Channel has a really interesting program on Wild China for the next 3 hours. It just started 15 min ago. Might want to check it out..the photography and the birds and wildlife are wonderful.
Thanks Genie - Going in to my recliner soon and will try to catch some of the show. Hope things are well with you in FL
I'll return later this afternoon or early evening! Take care..
BBL
Thank you Genie I have the travel channel on tv now. ty
I have just UPDATED my blog on Nest Of Liberty and Belle. If you want to see just click on my name. Then go to Nest of Liberty and Belle. I know many will understand the update.
good morning , an overcast day today. I am heading out with the camera . Heading south to central Ca to see friends and will take the long way down the Sierra foothills. Lots of country driving. Should be fun. I havent gotten out of this house since I came back from Idaho. I have cabin fever. Hope you all have a day with love and smiles.
Both in our nest
We just had a switch
No food brought to nest :(
Deb.....just looked at your pictures. They are great! Can see two eggs and one little eaglet. Best picture yet!
Thanks, Dana. Enjoyed seeing your pics of the nest and feeding.
Just back from church, now I am going to read the paper.
Jo, so glad you are doing well and glad friends from church brought you communion. Hope to see you on this evening.
BBL
Genie this tv show is great...I think on this one we will get to see the panda. Cause it is about animals in China. Oh Boy !
Just show the red panda.
It is on DirecTV channel 277
Well, viewing conditions surely are making it difficult to see the new chick(s), but at least we are sure from the behavior of the parents starting Sat. afternoon that there is at least one chick hatched.
Even if we have to wait a day or two, the chick will grow enough that we will get some good views even with the glare. Sooner or later we will see the little guy.
As for the live feed, it had been freezing every few seconds for a couple of days, and it probably would have been totally overloaded yesterday.
Belle was just up and in the process of resettling in the nest cup when I looked back. Did anyone see it??
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
I couldn't sit glued to the TV for 5 hours, and I hated to miss a single minute of Wild China. So I went to Amazon.com...found the program (300 minutes of it) on DVD's for #18.49 and free shipping if you buy something else to get total to $25. I am buying it, so I can watch it at my leisure and many times.
Glad you are enjoying it, Dana. I knew most of you would find it fascinating if you have time to watch.
Showing Giant Panda's now on the tv show.
Wild Pandas are only found in central China far to the East. Due to the bamboo starts to flower in other places and the bamboo dies.
Our eagle is up off nest all is showing!! Hope someone can see something!!
Got two pictures need to go look at them.
Eagle back off nest again !! LOOK
Now I have more pictures to look at.
I posted some pictures on my blog. Both in nest now.
Had a switch -our nest
If you go to the Maine forum- PattiO has a created a slide show of nest pics from 2:40pm, really interesting sequence of pics.
I added a couple of new pictures, too. The cam is just not real clear and therefore hard to get good pictures. Will be glad when we have live feed again and can see movement.
I'll go look at the pictures. Saw where you went on yesterday, Megan, and told them it was not snowing at the nest.
Both our nest again
bOTH in nest again.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
BWE is feeding chicks now.

Jim
Hi all and greetings Eagle Momsters and Steve, glad we have a hatching! Watching all with my niece and nephew from DC> Hope mom and fuzzball stay warm in this cold rain. Look forward to seeing the images of the hatch. CHeers! Sandy
6pm EST I just noticed that the tv channel Travel Channel that Genie told us about is going to be showing "Land Of The Panda". DirecTV is channel 277. I don't know about what channel it would be for any other tv connections.
Thanks for the heads-up on the slideshow, Megan.
I had to look at it a couple of times before it started to make sense to my eyes.
You know, "everything" in the sequence moves over time ... except that one egg in the back.
I think there could indeed be two chicks!
But there is no doubt that there is at least one chick being fed in that sequence.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
WOW JIM THAT SOUNDS GOOD !!
Hi Sandy not sure which Sandy this is??
JIM WHAT SLIDESHOW ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WHERE DO I FIND IT?
Miss it found Megans comment !!
Dana, the slideshow is on the Maine blog dedicated to this nest.
I'll make a bluie link....
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Great pictures, everyone, and the video really shows the movement in the nest.
NCTC slideshow
Here's the slideshow link. Scroll down to "Pattio" about 4 from the bottom.
I think you will see one unhatched egg, which doesn't change, and everything else is chicks and pieces of broken shell, and they all move or change.
Also, you can see Belle aiming food at two different spots... one is this side of the intact egg, and the second is all the way to the forefront of the pic of the nest cup. There are shell parts separating the chicks in this slideshow.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Eagle up
back down
The pictures can be clicked on which take you to a slide show!
Up and down again.
Eagle in LW nest.
There are still 3 eggs in OK.
I am not sure whether to laugh or cry and I am along for the ride but if I try to read this Blog and pretend I am not posting here...I am starting to feel sorry for us who are trying to see something so very hard ...The slideshow on the Maine forum is the closest thing I have seen to prove there is movement in that nestbowl...
Both red-tails in OK, but not anymore!
Looked at the radar and it looks like it is passed the nest.
Eagle up
Back down.
I am not sure if that is the male or female in the LW nest. Just laying there enjoying the view. An egg would be about a week early.
Eagle up in LW
Unfortunatley we have missed most of the rain, which we really need here. And while those wet eagles may appear pitiful, they can handle the rain just fine.
LW watching something flying around the nest, maybe crows??
Eagle up
Yes, they can, Megan. It is amazing how their feathers and the oil work together to keep them warm and dry.
Our eagle is restless, or maybe can't get comfy.
Be still my heart. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . A new eaglet to worry about and love to the nth degree.
When do you start outside work, Megan?
Sorry, my reaction to the rain passing us by again was sorrow- we are really in a dry pattern and in need of rain. I am not worried about these two keeping eaglets dry, they seem to do just fine with that. Off to find some food.
We have been clearing and tilling gardens for a few weeks, working in the Gh now sowing seeds and transplanting seedlings. Hope to be planting some cold weather crops in 4-5 weeks.
I hope you do get some moisture, Megan, so you don't have to water so much. No one around here has been in fields yet, but this week could be the week they can get out.
Good luck megan know you work very very hard and wish you nothing but success.
Not to worry, Megan, I knew where you were coming from.
Megan you are right we need rain badly. We'll be in a drought. We really did not have a lot of snow to help that situation.
Again coming up on Travel Channel on tv at 6pm EST is going to be about the Giant Panda. Genie led me to this channel. It is from 6-7pm don't know how much will be on the panda. About human and panda coexist.
Good evening all. Just getting home and settled in...Was able to check cam while at Christie's, and got what looked like a good capture that I sent out to you.
Haven't read through here yet, but will work on it and get my newspapers read.
Shuttle is on schedule for 7:43 launch, but unless we have a weather miracle, don't think we'll get to see anything. If you want to watch on TV, Ch. 283 on Directv and 213 on DishNet. CNN sometimes covers launches, too.
Megan...re:AIG...is that J. GORDON LIDDY??? Wasn't he the one involved in Watergate?
Welcome back Lynn ( :
Ceil, gotta tell ya'....not too long after hooking up to braodband, was having so much trouble....installer came back and couldn't figure out problem...tech support said it must be modem, but that they had NEVER had that problem before...sent new modem, and everything has been fine! So hope you are as lucky....of course, Verizon does have a reputation...HO, as Norma says!
On this program this 80 yr old man is hunting with a golden eagle. He caught it as a chick. Taught it to return to him. After so many years with him. The man will release the eagle to freedom.
Now 6pm-7pm the one that has the Giant panda's in it. Channel DirecTV 277 Travel Channel.
Eagle up
There might have been a switch, the eagle was in front of the nest cup when I walked in the room.
Yep but its back is to us and can't see in nest bowl.
I check live feed every once in awhile, no luck. :(
Hi Everyone. IE w/AOL & 'puter got exhausted--sort of locked up-lots of hourglasses. Got everything closed, rebooted, & got the BLUE SCREEN but not the fatal one."Error in Disc-Hit bla bla bla to open". All the good pics I got are stored in this newer? 'puter.
Jim mentioned Baby Pictures, so I will put on blog, 2 of the best I received today. They are from Megan and Lynn--I enlarged them a tiny bit so they wouldn't get blurry. Most of you probably got them.
I guess the best thing to see is that swell sounding slideshow. Thx for the heads up, Jim.
Pics are on...☺
Din din....
Thanks Loretta and Megan great pictures.
They just said on this segment of China. That no one knows how the panda mates in the wild !! So that
is why they mostly have to do the artificial.
All the baby pandas born at Wolong will go to zoo's because they can not survive in the wild.
You would think the way they have studied bears and etc. Men have even tracked them until they found them. Put up tents stayed in wild for long times. Until they found and recorded the information they needed. You would think China would do something like that. So they could find out "how they mate".
Well that was a great segment. I seen and learn't a lot. Very informative and beautiful scenery.
NBG eagle up and turned 3 eggs did not see any holes or crackes. They had zoomed in. Eagle back down.
Sundown approaches and so does the night light....
Watching the nest first then on to everyone's pictures that I haven't seen yet..
Good Ones, Megan and Hedgie, and nice enlargements, Loretta ! xo
Two Birds OUr Nest
Both in our nest

I think a rabbit has been brought into nest.
YES it is a rabbit
