Redoubt Volcano update:
Redoubt Volcano Latest Observations
2009-03-22 12:11:47
Seismicity rates have increased dramatically over the last 48 hours. Currently, the earthquake rate is about 40 to 50 events per hour. Many of these events are large enough to be recorded at the more distal stations of the Redoubt network, including NCT and DFR.

At present (12:09), clouds are obscuring the view of the volcano in the hut web camera but previous clear images show only a small steam/gas plume at the summit region.

deb said...

Eagle up, eaglet i sitting up watching the world go by.

deb said...

Now it is patiently waiting for a bite to eat.

NatureNut said...

Wow, think our baby has been out for over an hour. Must be great weather.Read that by 2 weeks old, chicks start to regulate their own body temps.
Saw OK baby get fed. Will put pic up later.

deb said...

Finally getting the feeding started!

NatureNut said...

Put a couple "Baby" pics on--waiting to get NBG.

paula eagleholic said...

Look at 1:19 for the first peek of all 3 bobbleheads

And they have names already, Freedom, Hope and Spirit

Redding's Eaglets Now have names

3 Eaglets for Caltrans

deb said...

Very cute, Paula, I had seen where they were named before the hatchings were done.

Mits said...

thanks for new thread, Steve, and call over Jo.

Mits said...

feeding time at BWE

paula eagleholic said...

Our eagle is up again...blocking the view :)

paula eagleholic said...

She's back down again...not much of a peek!

wvgal_dana said...

Well Hi Eaglelander's on this new thread. Thank you Steve.

It has been a terrible day. First time ever my computer kept freezing up. I couldn't even put the cursor on the daily blog page and scroll down or up.

So glad to be with everyone again ( : I was lonely :(

Thanks for the tiny url. I see where Caltrans eaglets plus egg to hatch have already been named. Cute.

Have been watching OK both want to feed the baby lol They need another hatch hee hee One to a parent.

Any dates for Lw hatchings yet?

We still have one in our nest?

deb said...

I just got an update on our osprey, they are still all in the same locations. I guess they are content young osprey. A-04 still in the Louisiana Delta, A-00 in Florida, and A-15 in Mexico. A-15 did take a jaunt out into the Gulf of Mexico, then turned around and went right back to her wintering area.

deb said...

Latest Redoubt update, sure glad I am not near there:

Redoubt Volcano Latest Observations
2009-03-22 13:55:33
Seismicity rates have increased dramatically over the last 48 hours. Currently, the earthquake rate is up to 26 events per 10-minute period. Many of these events are large enough to be recorded at the more distal stations of the Redoubt network, including NCT and DFR.

Partly cloudy views of the volcano from the hut web camera over the last hour show a small steam/gas plume at the summit region.

wvgal_dana said...

3 eggs were just on view at Ft. St. Vain

I see our chick "Magical Or Miracle".

paula eagleholic said...

Eaglet in View....can see the egg, too.

wvgal_dana said...

Feeding time our nest

deb said...

South Dakota State's Women's Basketball team will start their first ever Division 1 playoff game at 6, my time. It is pretty exciting to have a team make it--this is the first year they are eligible after moving up to the Div. 1 ranks.

paula eagleholic said...

Eatin' time our nest!

paula eagleholic said...

Cool, Deb. Congrats to them!

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding over.

Wonder if we will ever get to see anything besides slo mo???????

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like a feeding at NOrfolk!

paula eagleholic said...

One parent handing off fish pieces to second parent feeding chick...

paula eagleholic said...

can see both eaglets....egg still there too.

paula eagleholic said...

My Gosh, look at all the food in that nest! I think there are 4 fish! :)

paula eagleholic said...

Quick feeding, just a couple of bites for the eldest.

wvgal_dana said...

OK chick is in view

NatureNut said...

Fish, fish everywhere at NBG! Saw Dad give a couple bites to Mom. Saw both chicks earlier, but couldn't save a pic.

Mits said...

that is how one eagle was feeding the other one at OK yesterday...Deb that is great for your B-Ball team....sounds likes Redoubt really wants to let off some steam.

deb said...

Eagle in LW and Great Blue in Wildwatch Heron cam.

deb said...

Two eagles in Maine 1.

deb said...

Two BG Heron now.

deb said...

That should be GB for Great Blue, not BG.

wvgal_dana said...

Deb can you see any eggs in LW?

Mits said...

nice to see the herons again

Mits said...

:), we knew what you meant.

deb said...

No eggs, but it should be soon. First egg last year was seen April 26, I thing that is the right date.

deb said...

I give up, first eaglet was seen April 26.

wvgal_dana said...

I didn't think so Deb. Can't remember where the comment was but someone put comment "2 confirmed eggs as of Friday afternoon March 20th" but I didn't get which nest.

deb said...

That was the Libby nest where there are two eggs. There are no eggs in LW.

Mits said...

oh, I thought I had read 2 eggs at LW too...duh!

Mits said...

I forgot Heron nest has sound:)

hedgie said...

My gosh, Deb.....parts of SD to get 30-40" of snow????? And 20+ ft. over flood stage flooding expected in Fargo by end of month???? This all sounds very serious.

deb said...

They way I am typing today, maybe that is what I typed, if so I really give up!

deb said...

I did type that, my apologies, It should have been Libby Dam that has two eggs! Geesh, can't keep my nests straight today.

deb said...

Yes, Lynn, in the Black Hills is where the snow is going to be, here we are supposed to get all rain.

deb said...

Off to watch the game, bbl.

paula eagleholic said...

Both parents our nest now!

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Lib was feeding the little tyke, and Belle arrived. Lib was just telling Belle he'll finish the din dins.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, Deb was too tired from kayaking :)

hedgie said...

Deb, if one inch of rain =10 inches of snow....are you supposed to get 2-3 inches of rain? Is that enough, combined w/ snowmelt to cause flooding in your area?

floralgirl said...

Both adults at NBG- they are feeding each other.

hedgie said...

Yeah, Paula....all of that rowing would have paralyzed me!!!! She's such a trooper!

deb said...

How disgusting, the only way to watch the game is to have some special ticket. GRRR! Going to search on line, see if it is on somewhere.

hedgie said...

Both in our nest...don't see any fresh food, tho'.

paula eagleholic said...

Belle covered up the chicklet...Lib stilll there on the back...think he's having a snack.

paula eagleholic said...

Well that sucks, Deb.

wvgal_dana said...

Paula or Deb what game is it?

LW eagle up on branch.

paula eagleholic said...

Dad just flew back in at NBG, taking care of some wayward sticks.

Lib left.

paula eagleholic said...

South Dakota State girls game, first time in NCAA playoffs in Division 1.

deb said...

I found it, they just started later than it was supposed to! ESPN-NA, channel 145 on Dish.

paula eagleholic said...

NBG Mom up eating a snack now

paula eagleholic said...

Awww, bite for MOm, now some for the eaglets.

paula eagleholic said...

They are zoomed in

paula eagleholic said...

Awww Dad wants to help

wvgal_dana said...

Enjoy your game Deb glad you found it.

OK is getting fed.

paula eagleholic said...

She is offering to both chicks.

paula eagleholic said...

Awww Mom giving Dad some too

paula eagleholic said...

Glad it's on, Deb.

deb said...

25-4, SDSU ahead of TCU!!!

NatureNut said...

Great for SD Girls! Good luck, Deb.
We have to cheer for all our other buds,now that MD men are gone. I was surprised they got as far as they did!
Saw part of NBG family feast--couldn't save a pic, but they should have some BIG slideshows tomorrow!

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, guess that was Belle that took off earlier and Lib on the chicklet....cause Belle just cam back and Lib left...hard to keep track of 'em sometimes!

paula eagleholic said...

YAY for SD girls...sounds like the MD women's game...

paula eagleholic said...

Deb - that game is listed here as well, but it's only available in TX and SD...

sunny said...

Go SDSU!

deb said...

44-15! My sister in CA can't watch it either, Paula. The announcers said it was too bad it wasn't national, people would be very surprised with a South Dakota team.

deb said...

Sunny, they are calling them SDST, not good!

sunny said...

What's the T? I'm on the phone with my Dad in RC!

Mits said...

both eagles LW

deb said...

I think South Dakota STate, maybe to not confuse it with San Diego State U?? Sorry I was on the phone, too.

sunny said...

Thanks Deb. I had to call Dad after I saw your weather comments earlier. It was 80 there today, with blizzard tomorrow!

Mits said...

well, golly that is a big change in weather:(

Mits said...

eagle up...

Mits said...

eagle at LW was just doing the famous waddle waddle?????

Lolly said...

Helloooooo!!!!! We are home and this grandmommy is tired!!! We had so much fun! Those two boys played hard all weekend. They are going to sleep well tonight.

They made friends with several boys in the park and they never sat. They were running and playing all the time. And, oh so dirty!!!! ha! We rode the train and hiked and made smores and just had FUN!

So....I checked the cams, one egg hatched at OK on Saturday and the same for NBG. Right? None today?

deb said...

Oh, good, I hope they get an egg today at LW.

Score is 80-38, with 7 minutes left. Pretty good showing for South Dakota!

We have lightening and thunder here, Sunny. It is muggy, haven't had to say that for a long time!

deb said...

Lolly, NBG has two!

deb said...

Welcome back. Game is back on, bbl.

NatureNut said...

Hornby--egg alone a couple times. Mom had been screeching. Sounds like she's back.

hedgie said...

THink I'm going to watch Amazing Race tonight--don't think I've ever watched a whole episode before...tonight it's set in India...lived there for awhile when I was a toddler, so don't remember it, but I do find it interesting.

Lolly said...

Wow! When did they hatch at NBG? That is so good after last year.

deb said...

One yesterday, one today, Lolly.

final score, SDSU 90, TCU 55. On to Tuesday night.

hedgie said...

Lolly, glad you had a fun weekend!! Those are the things that make great memories for kids!!

deb said...

Lynn, saw your rain question, I don't think we will get that much here. We do need rain right now, had a few grass fires yesterday.

Lolly said...

DEB! Did your school just beat my school? Not keeping up with games since we just returned!

I am a TCU grad.

Lolly said...

Lynn, we did have so much fun. Right beside our camp site were two more sets of grandparents and kids. We were all having so much fun.

deb said...

I rewound LW nest and saw an egg, so you were right about the Waddle you saw, Mits!

deb said...

Yes, Lolly, although I didn't go to SDSU, but Sunny did. I went to a rival school, but will cheer on my state!

Lolly said...

Boo! Hiss!

Mits said...

Yea for SDSU, Deb....:) and Sunny too,

Mits said...

thanks, Deb, did not see egg, but saw her waddle waddle:)

Mits said...

Belle asleep

paula eagleholic said...

Welcome Back Lolly!

LW has an egg...you must have had a premonition Deb!

deb said...

Must have, Paula, it couldn't be that I was totally goofed up!

deb said...

I am loading video of the egg roll on YouTube.

Mits said...

good night everyone..

sunny said...

My cable went out a couple of hours ago, and I just got back on. Not sure what that's about. Thanks for the score, Deb!

Where did you go kayaking yesterday? That's my favorite activity in the summer.

deb said...

I went on the Missouri River between Yankton and Myron Grove. About 15 miles.

sunny said...

Did I tell you that my sister and her hubby both went to Yankton College? I guess it's long gone now.

deb said...

Yes, it is a federal prison of some sort. No violent crimes, I think.

deb said...

Margy didn't drop in after work tonight, hope her day went okay.

hedgie said...

I think MAYBE I heard Margy on the scanner this evening....sometimes hard to tell because there is another gal who sounds a lot like her...so she may have had to work over.

hedgie said...

Belated good night, Helen!

Costume Lady said...

Some of us were MIA this evening. Hopefully enjoying the day with family and friends.

GOOD NIGHT
PRAYERS FOR ALL

hedgie said...

Nite-nite, Wanda!

hedgie said...

The Unit is over...time for me to call it a day. Talk to you all tomorrow. Peace.

paula eagleholic said...

Gnite, all!

Hugs to all ♥

magpie said...

Way Cool x-3

Had a visit with the grandson after work....

Sounds like an eggciting day, though from the little I just read backwards...(did see that second chick at NBG earlier...☺ )

Good Night to anyone still up - and I am headed for the shower!

magpie said...

Holy Smokes! You should see Finney's Water Nest.....I'd say that Spring Disappeared and Winter re-appeared !

magpie said...

Okay just read the lastest thread only - it is too irresistible to just come on and then leave.

Love that Heron Video, Deb - really amazing to see so many herons at once!

NOW to drown some bubbles...
bathroom all warmed up now...
back later....

Good Night...for now...
Belle just moved around and stretched and checked her baby a few minutes ago...

magpie said...

Well I got on too late to talk to anyone...

movin said...



**Good Morning**

**Everyone**


Norma, Megan, Mits, I knew I had heard that song "I Couln't Sleep a Wink Last Night," so I googled it:

Frank Sinatra !! He introduced it in a movie (I think it was "Higher and Higher").

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' MOVIN'JIM!---That the right singer---Frank Sinatra!---

deb said...

Good morning, I have had the news on all morning and not one word about Redoubt. I figured it would be erupting soon after yesterday's reports. It sounds like Anchorage is going to pretty much be okay. I wish the sun was up!

Mits said...

Morning Deb, that is what I have been reading....Megan those pics off the NBG forum are spectacular

normabyrd said...

2 OSPREYS at HH NEST!

Mits said...

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning All
Redoubt eruption is being covered on CNN - big time! Thought about ya & hope you get to see it.

Need to read your comments & check out cams & emails..... It's bright outside today!

Susan said...

I've been real busy lately and haven't had much time to watch the Eagle Cam. Do we have just one eaglet so far? Weren't there 3 eggs in the nest this year too? What are the chances that the other eggs will successfully hatch?

Mits said...

Susan, 3 eggs and 1 hatch this year.

deb said...

North Dakota flooding won't affect us, Norma, but after 3" last night we have our own to worry about. Lots more on the way. I am not in any kind of watch or warning for now.

normabyrd said...

DO you all suppose LOLLY & ED slept in this am???!--ho!----They are WONDERFUL GRANDPARENTS!--It's GREAT they can see their grand kids often!---Wish mine were closer!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

We go to Claytor Lake all the time, Norma. It is in Dublin VA. We have camped at Bluestone but, since we got the boat and we keep it at Claytor, we go down there all the time.

deb said...

One eaglet is all we will get this year, Susan.

Susan said...

Thanks for the info on the eggs and eaglet. I was hoping we'd have 3 eaglets this year as well, but unfortunately, that's nature. I'll keep my fingers crossed the the eaglet we have!

Mits said...

so far so good, Susan

Mits said...

snowing hard at Finland nest.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

White head starting to appear at HI as the sun comes up!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all!

Nice sunshine today...temps not too bad!

BWO Update:

03/22/09:
We've spotted two ospreys on the platform -- possibly a male and female.

As a result, we've posted the last photos to the 2008 Osprey Cam Gallery and we'll soon open the 2009 Gallery for the new season.

movin said...

I think the last time they had big flooding on that N. Dakota River ... was it "Red River"? ... it also flooded in central Minnesota near some lakes where my uncle and his in-laws have cabins.

They are on a small lake, which is like just across the road from Lake Ottertail, a largish lake in the area. I think that same river runs through that area.

I wonder if they will be having flood problems this Spring too.
