Thanks,Steve:)
Hello all!
Wet day sounds great, we need rain here!
Just watched all three eaglets trying to eat at NBG- rowdy bunch.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Morning Steve, morning everyone.

That Norfolk cam is great, isn't it? They put us right in the nest. That cam at HI is great too, right in the nest literally. But my heart is still at NCTC. I feel like Belle and Lib are family!! Always first in my heart and on my desktop!!

Chrissy Beahan said...

Morning all,,,,

GUESS WHO !!!!

How are you all,,keeping as well as you all can be !!!

What a time we are all having,, busy,busy,busy,,,

If it's not Eaglets we are babysitting,, it's Ospreys[two nests]then there are the other birds and their doings,, then as always for me it's darling Mei Xiang,, followed by all the other Pandas,, I've also got my Sparrow Hawks back in the trees behind my house and many many Starlings roosting in the eves here again much to the joy of the Sparrow Hawks,, put a new slant on Supermarket Shopping, doesn't it !!!
Not withstanding all my other birds here, my Blackbird pair are still here too,, Stripy [female] she has 2 white stripes on her left wing and her NEW husband, he is big and black and very round,, poor love he is terribly hen pecked,, so I will see how many clutches they have this year,,,
Isla the Osprey is at the moment sitting in her nest after eating the biggest rainbow trout you have ever seen,, i din't know how the nest is still there,, we have gales here and the nest is swaying so much with her in it you would almost think it is going to fall,,, she keeps looking to the skys as if she is looking for Angus to arrive,, I think he is still on holiday in Africa you know,, boy will he get an ear full when he gets home !!!
Looks as if Liberty has brought far to many fish to the nest,,still he is a grea profider isn't he,, lets hope Angus is the same,, if he ever turns up !!!
Mei look so contented this morning,, she is just the sweetest girl ever,,,,

Well I better go and get some breakfast myself,, and a large cup of tea as well,,

Enjoy your birding all,,

love and hugs
Chrissy

hedgie said...

Our nest is sure full of garbage, as Chrissy noted....someone needs to do some housecleaning. Wonder how non-fresh they let it get before they know it's not any good to eat???

hedgie said...

Going to make my hike out driveway to get papers now. BBL.

deb said...

Good morning, everyone. I just checked the CO nest to see if I could see any signs of a hatching and it is snowing there. Live feed is down. :(

wvgal_dana said...

Good Eagleland Morning Lynn.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

That is great!! I am so excited. That is my favorite nest to watch (besides ours of course). YEAH!!!

normabyrd said...

hedgie said...

Norma, in Fargo and area the kids 8th grade and above as well as college kids were all sent to make sandbags! Should fulfill any community service requirements!

Lolly said...

Good morning! Hey, Chrissy!!!!! So happy to see you here this morning. How are you?

Not raining here but cold and grey.
Probably won't work in the yard today. Plants will have to stay in the garage. Down into the 30's Friday night. Really do not like that!

Seems like all eagles have their backs to me and sitting tight in their nests. Come on now...give a girl a peek.

Mits said...

Good Thursday morning everyone.

deb said...

Nothing by me yet, Norma, it is all up north right now.

Lolly said...

NBG eagle does not look too comfy. Ha! Those three under her are probably fighting.

Mits said...

update from DEP falcon nest....

3/25/2009 :: Two Eggs in the Nest!
Around 11:15 AM on Saturday, March 21st, Rachel’s female falcon laid the first egg of the 2009 season at the Rachel Carson State Office Building in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Typically, this female lays an egg at one to two day intervals. Last year, the female laid five eggs between March 21st and April 1st; four of the five eggs hatched successfully.

On Tuesday, March 24th at approximately 7:00 AM the female laid a second egg. As the clutch grows, the adults will begin brooding for increasingly longer periods of time. When the clutch is complete, at most likely four to five eggs, brooding will be continuous. The male and female will share brooding duties; the male will sit 30 to 40 percent of the entire time it takes to hatch the full clutch. To see what can be expected in the days ahead, viewers can scroll down to read falcon postings dating back to late 2001. Camera views are now set to provide the best look at activities on the nest ledge.

Lolly said...

Good morning Mits! You have rain, too?

Mits said...

yes Lolly, nice slow and steady:):):)

Mits said...

I love spring rains

hedgie said...

Sissy, does no work mean that you've just been working so hard that you're all caught up, or are drs. dictating less???
Ha, ha, ha....Feds may bring new charges against Michael Vick!!! Illegal use of pension funds!!! GO FEDS!

Lolly said...

Feeding our nest. And to think we could not even see that eaglet in the nest. Look at it now! WOW!

Lolly said...

Feeding NBG!

deb said...

Both, our nest!

Lolly said...

Well, just saw the biggest NBG peck at the little one and down it went, not asking for food. BIG BULLY!

hedgie said...

Both our nest---feeding time!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I have two in our nest on the still cam but had to refresh the live cam to get them both! Looks like Mom brought breakfast, huh?

Lolly said...

LOL Every time I post that Jack o Lantern of Chrissy's jumps out at me!

Hey, Chrissy, you really wanted to be noticed!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Lynn, no work usually means that they are not dictating as much or more people are working than normal. But, it also does mean my lightening speed is getting the job done!! (HAHAHAHAHA)

Lolly said...

I am going to read the paper. Got my action at the nests that I needed. Going to the doctor today....regular check up after blood work. Will surprise her with my weight loss! Hope to have great blood report as well!

BBL

Lolly said...

Two at OK nest! Still one eaglet and two eggs!

BYE!

Mits said...

yep, looks like OK, will be a one chicklet nest

paula eagleholic said...

Wow 2 eggs at HI?? How many days inbetween them? Like 5 or more?

Mits said...

BWE UPDATE.....

Nest Update

03/26/09:
We've updated the Eagle Cam Web Log with news about our younger eaglet and his quest for food in the nest.

Also, we did see a nice "democratic" feeding session on Thursday morning

Mits said...

maybe 3 or 4, this was laid sometime late last night their time

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I think it was 7 days between eggs at HI Paula. I think I was at Mrs. Riffe's last week when the first one was laid and I go there on Thursdays.

deb said...

March 22 is what Judy has posted for a date on Hornby's first egg.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Sunday? I think it was before that for sure, wasn't it?

Mits said...

Hi 1st egg was March 22nd

Mits said...

I just asked them in their chat room, it was the 22nd

deb said...

I had thought it was earlier, too, so I checked the Hancock forum and it was first seen on the morning of the 22nd, laid sometime overnight.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Hmm. My sense of time must be really screwed up!!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Maybe it is a 50 thing!

Mits said...

yep the mind goes first:)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

That one chick at NBG is a bully!!

deb said...

You knew the bullying was going to happen, but it sure isn't fun to watch.

Mits said...

2nd HI egg was around 8:30p.m. last night

Lolly said...

Sorry, Sissy, didn't we tell you, it's downhill from now on? LOL

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Right, parent sits on em and stops it though.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

They need to wrestle with Luney before time for the cam to come on and get him going!! He needs to sleep at night, on their time, not ours!! Somebody pinch that bear!!

deb said...

Too bad they can't sit on it all the time! Just gave middle one a big peck on the head.

Mits said...

eagle up at HI 2 eggs in sight

movin said...



** good morning **

** everyone **

Jim

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Daniel's panda page isn't able to refresh the Atlanta cam like the others. It has a couple of times I think but not automatically like the others.

deb said...

Two Harbors has a HATCH!

hedgie said...

Hi, Jim! How's everything in California?

Mits said...

Do they have 3 eggs at TH, Deb?

hedgie said...

Two Harbors is kind of windy!
Can you see our little guy growing?? Did you see that Suz is calling her Miracle????

Mits said...

yes, Lynn, saw where Suz is calling her miracle

movin said...

i don't know if you saw it, but there is a short update with pics on Buddy's condition.




C(°Ù¿°)D

deb said...

I think just two eggs were laid at TH, Mits. I saw one wiggly eaglet and one egg. I have a clip loading now, but it has a ways to go.

paula eagleholic said...

2 parents our nest

paula eagleholic said...

Someone brought fresh fluff

One parent remains

paula eagleholic said...

OMG Hurray for TH - another first for the Channel Islands!!!

paula eagleholic said...

This is miracle #2 - first miracle was naturally hatched egg at WE last year

paula eagleholic said...

Or is Suz calling our chick a Miracle?

I would say we are Lucky!!

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding our nest

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Hidey under fluff!! Wish I was!

paula eagleholic said...

TH has 2 eggs...think WE has 2 also, but haven't been able to see them, bowl is really deep

deb said...

Blogger will be unavailable Wednesday (3/25) at 4:00PM PDT for about 10 minutes for maintenance.

Update: This maintenance has been moved to tomorrow, Thursday (3/26), at 4:00PM PDT.

Mits said...

ha...maintenance

deb said...

The video of the Two Harbors eaglet is up on Nest Pictures. It is just a quick look, eagle sat down too fast!

deb said...

The snow is really piling up in CO, both the eagle and the owl nests. No owls again today.

Red said...

Want to see a really cute dog. Check out my princess Rosie on Reds photos.

paula eagleholic said...

OMG this is so precious watching the TH parents - they are trying to figure out how to brood chick and an egg! They've never had both in that bowl before!

paula eagleholic said...

TH - Mom has already arrived with a fresh fish....breathing and jumping...Dad left....

Mits said...

thanks, Deb.

Mits said...

cute dog Red

Mits said...

both eagles at TH

deb said...

Two Osprey at Puleston, and two Osprey in Kentucky.

Mits said...

NOW JUST 1, NO CHANGE

hedgie said...

Paula, Suz is calling ours Miracle!

hedgie said...

Red, Rosie is a silky sweetie!!

hedgie said...

Mason update from Tues. on CaringBridge.

Mits said...

eaglet peeking out from under adult at NBG

Red said...

But Rosie is a Yorkie. The breeds are very close.

Mits said...

chicks being fed at NBG

hedgie said...

Anyone having trouble with Norfolk cam? Won't open for me today.
Brief Buddy update, Jim....basically no news=good news...status quo.

NatureNut said...

Well, Hello from damp, foggy land of illiterate computer!!! Had been going thru email this AM, sending replies, etc. when a loud trucker CB voice came thru 'puter speaker. This happens occasionally, but this time I could not type one more letter of the alphabet at all. Switched user sides, tried an experimental letter--NO. Went on blog, could not type password!Am on old puter that's working!!! It has no speakers!Turned other one off!!??
Have not had chance to read everything, but was curious if Lynn identified her mystery bird.
So glad to see Chrissy on here. Isn't it unusual that Isla would be back at nest first? Usually the males return, then the females.
Gonna get lunch, BBL ☺

deb said...

CO nest is looking so bad, snow is almost higher than the eagle.

paula eagleholic said...

Awww, pretty pup, Red.

Lots of nice fresh fluff in our nest...

glo said...

What a busy but exciting day so far. Had coffee and dog treats at neighbors and then headed off to find some Pelicans. Haven't even seen those pictures yet as arrived home in time to catch the hatch at Two Harbors this morning.

you can see my video here

Historic Hatch at Two Harbors

hedgie said...

Don't have CO in favs on this puter. Will have to get site from desktop, and while I'm there I will email the non-enlarged version of my pic and see if anyone can figure it out. Margy says now maybe a Swainson's hawk--distinct possibilty...hope we figure it out!!

paula eagleholic said...

Great view of the chick in your clip, Deb. I did a couple of TH videos...they are on youtube...

TH First Natural Hatchyour desc

K82 meets first chick

Mits said...

Awesome videos, Paula:):):)

deb said...

Great videos everyone!

Lynn, I don't see a hooked beak on your bird, do you?

hedgie said...

Oh, my...Co really is snowy....mama looks weighted down with it.....do we know if she has any hatchlings yet?

paula eagleholic said...

Hedgie - no chicks at CO as of last night....

hedgie said...

Not sure, Deb...doesn't really look like it ,but with background being so busy and colors so blurry, I just can't say for sure.

Mits said...

feeding and fighting at NBG

hedgie said...

I just figured out that Judy's list updates when I reopen...was thinking it was just a static site. Duh!!! So I see that no hatch known yet at CO!!!!

hedgie said...

Well, can't think of a nice thing to do this rainy afternoon than be here with you all....but a panda nap is really calling loudly! So think I'll leave you for a while...BBL!

Mits said...

Lynn you have mail

deb said...

Redoubt blew again, every time they go to yellow, it blows. It was a big one this time.

A major explosive event occurred at 09:24 AKDT. National Weather Service reports the cloud height to be at least 65,000 ft above sea level. Refer to the NWS Redoubt Coordination web page (http://pafc.arh.noaa.gov/volcano.php ) for latest cloud information.

deb said...

It blew at 8:34 also.

Mits said...

wow...Deb, I have been watching the Mt. McKinley site we watch, trying to catch the elusive snowmobiles, and after it blows, and sky usually darkens there

glo said...

Thanks .Deb As always your timing was impecakable. And Paula right there with you "us" "them" celebrating such a special moment at TH ..I wonder how Dr Sharpe feels as he sees his pairs he has worked so very hard to help restore Eagles to the islands actually succeed in nesting and hatching their own. What a sense of life and time invested well it must bring to him.

deb said...

Redoubt cam

Mits said...

holy guacamole, Deb.....some shot

deb said...

We aren't going to see much pretty soon, clouds of ash appear to be settling in. The ashfall is headed to the southwest this time, but I think some of it ends up going every which way once it hits that high. Warnings are out for the Homer area.

Mits said...

uh-oh, that is eagle territory

Mits said...

yes wind is different, so will not being going near McKinley

deb said...

Redoubt is not in view anymore on the link I posted. I'll put a picture up on Deb's Photos.

Mits said...

from BWE....

03/26/09:
Note: The Eaglet-Naming Contest is Open

NatureNut said...

Wow, Deb--Redoubt pic is giant black cloud. Also looked at those poor cows I thought were sheep & fed your turtles!

Repening other 'puter now to dnwld Lynn's birds. Don't know yet if I can write on it--was "Read Only".If CB knocked out our signal somehow, guess I'll have to call Fios peoploe.

Mits said...

spread eagle our nest

Mits said...

guess we need to put out a senior alert for JO.

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Eagleland Friends

Could someone please tell me which "blog is going to have maintenance"?

Also where is the update on Buddy?

Where do I fine Mason's update?

3 questions if someone can help thank you

wvgal_dana said...

I was thinking TH had sound.

Little Luney moved a inch or two lol

NatureNut said...

I can write on 'puter again! But I can't type---sorry, lots of spelling errors.

Lynn, it's still hard to get a good view of bird--didn't you say there were 2 together? Also, size would help & type of beak. Coloring is somewhat like sharp-shinned or Cooper's hawk. I gotta take a look at Wanda's bird again.
Belle is expecting a downpour it looks like. Big bird in a haystack!

deb said...

All Blogger accounts will be down for about 10 minutes, we are on Blogger here.

Mason:
Mason

Buddy:
WCV

deb said...

Redoubt update:
The major explosive event that started at 09:24 AKDT has diminished, though smaller emissions may occur, or a larger event resume.

The 09:24 event produced a lahar down the Drift River.

I had to look up lahar, it is a mudflow or landslide caused by a volcanic eruption.

NatureNut said...

Deb, Love the ambivalence of that first Redoubt sentence---smaller or larger evenys may occur!!!!☺
You got the links on for Dana. I was gonna say that if you go down NBG cam page (WVEC), the 3rd title is 2008 archives about last years eaglet removed from nest. But it gives the current updates once you click on it.

deb said...

Forecast for CO nest:

A BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM MDT FRIDAY.

SNOW HEAVY AT TIMES OVER THE ENTIRE AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING. NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH WILL PRODUCE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AND CONSIDERABLE DRIFTING SNOW ON THE PLAINS BY AFTERNOON. THE WORST CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN AREAS SOUTH OF A LINE FROM BOULDER TO AKRON.

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Deb for all 3 ( :

Mits said...

yikes for CO

Mits said...

eaglets in view at NBG

Mits said...

CO reminds me of our nest 2007

paula eagleholic said...

Nice tenting job by Belle...

Mits said...

show what time is blog going down for maintenance...4???

Mits said...

should be so....

deb said...

4 PDT, so that is 7 your time, right?

glo said...

Its April decision time for me on Glo's Glimpses...Please head over there to help me out if you could. It really did help tremendously last month to have that objective viewpoint. Both of the photos chosen by all of you scored higher thanthe one I chose to enter myself. April Decision time

There is no way I can go look at colorado in the snow on those eggs :(. Bless her/his heart.

Mits said...

oh yes, ok 7 our time

NatureNut said...

Is the CO nest most are talking about, the Excel, Fort. St.Vrain site? That's the CO one I have in My Faves.Pic they showed was pile of snow.

deb said...

that's the one, Loretta.

deb said...

The eagle is in the nest on the right hand side of the cam. It looks like it has quite snowing for now.

deb said...

Both our nest.

Mits said...

missed them....

Red said...

Lynn, I think your mystery bird is a morning dove. The orange coloring is a leaf hanging in the tree. JMHO. lol

Mits said...

gee Red, I would think Lynn would recognize a mourning dove....they are everywhere.

Mits said...

eagle sleeping at CO

wvgal_dana said...

I'll have to re-look at Red's morning dove??

deb said...

I just zoomed in really close on Lynn's picture, what I thought was the beak is a branch! Ha, have been looking and looking for a bird with a branch beak!

Mits said...

nice closeup of feeding at NBG

NatureNut said...

Went to Glo's Glimpses & couldn't get back here w/ arrows!Must be a flikr thing.
Red, you must have your 20-20+ photo eyes on today! Hope you're feeling better. I thought shape of Lynn's bird looked like dove. Size would help.
Thx Deb on CO ID--awful weather for eggs.

Chrissy Beahan said...

Hi all,,

Just back for a moment,,Going to Watch a new TV programme at 9pm Called "The Mentalist", I don't know if any of you have seen it yet,,,

Loretta pet,, I thought the ame as you did,, but I've been on the Osprey Diary Pages and I'm told it's always the female that comes home first,, SO,, we are now waiting on Angus to turn up,, but he is taking his time,, the problem is that Isla turned up earlier than she should of really,, so she is having a rather long wait for her Lord and Master !!!
I've just left her all curled up in the nest fast asleep for the night after having a rather large supper of yet another Rainbow Trout,,,

Only seen "EJ" at Loch Garten a couple of times today,, I think she has found a good perch somewhere to feed from,, and only pops back to the nest to bring a few news nesting materials,,,

Glo pet,, do I say what photo's I like here or on your "Glo's Glimpses",, I like, Nos, 1, 4, and 6,,,, I hope thats ok pet,,,,

I'll have to go in a moment,, so I'll say night night God Bless now,
Hope you all have a smashing night chatting and I'll try to get back to chat tomorrow if I can,,time willing,,,

love and hugs to all,
Chrissy

Good afternoon to all my friends of fine feathers and fur!!

Just been watching our cam pretty consistently so don't know much about what is happening on the other cams except what Sis sends me an IM about! :)

First of all, my belly is finally healing well and the incision is getting smaller and smaller. YEAH.

But, I went to the hematologist today and I have to have 4 weeks of iron infusions (Inferon) again. My hemoglobin was 9.7. It was 10-something in Charlottesville and I tried to tell them I had iron deficiency anemia and they just attributed it to postoperative anemia, so, here I go again. But, it is going to be all good!! I do have faith for that.

And, I just saw where Chrissy has been on here! Hi Chrissy except she is probably in the bed by now!

When I use different colors on Lynn's picture. I continuely see the head is a different color than the body or the wings. The body is lighter than the wings also.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Tonight we go to Concord University to hear the "ConChords" sing and my baby boy is singing a solo! :)

Mits said...

looks like a switch

Eagle our nest..looks like Belle has returned.

And food right smack dab in the middle...

deb said...

I am trying to decide if Redoubt is blowing again or if it is a steam plume, a really big one!

deb said...

Yes, Mits, they don't know how good they have it at NBG!

Don't think it's a dove, Red! I have a lot of them around. Deb is leaning toward either a Sharp-shinned or Coopers.
Snow is off CO mama now...glad she shook off!
Glo, great video of Two Harbors. Also left my pic picks on comments section of Flickr.

Red said...

Then I look at Lynn's mystery bird again and can see a Robin. lol

Red said...

It's not a hawk. Beak is straight.

Costume Lady said...

Lynn...Red, my grandson thinks it is a dove, also. He is on a field trip right now and said he would email me later. None of my doves are marked like that or are that colorful.??

deb said...

I think it might remain a mystery bird!

Eagles off eggs in CO they look nice and dry, no snow on them. One eagle just brought food into the nest and then left. Other eagle is thinking of eating, but duty one and is headed back to the eggs. I feel so bad for her, she can't even eat.

deb said...

CO eagle is trying to get the food close so she can eat while incubating. What a good eagle parent!

hedgie said...

Sharon, sorry about the anemia...is that a usual result of the bypass? And so glad to hear that Andrew is soloing.....tape it and let us listen!!!

Costume Lady said...

DEB, did we ever figure out what your mystery bird was?

deb said...

What ever dinner is, the white snow makes it very graphic. :(

Red said...

Now I have decided the photo is too blurry to determine what the bird is. Don't get so excited next time and hold camera still. ha ha.

deb said...

Yes, Wanda, I took it and showed it to a couple of Raptor Biologists and it was a young bald eagle, light morphed, I believe is how they labeled it. They both said the coloring was not seen often.

deb said...

Yes, Red, I agree. We won't get a definite on it. When there is so much stuff around a subject sometimes the camera can't decide what to focus on and you get a blurry picture, no matter how still you hold the camera.
