Good morning again, thanks Steve!!

That video was absolutely wonderful, clear as a bell!!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
I'm so happy that we still have Live Feed this morning:)

Megan, you must have been doing the rain dance:) Not enough rain, but not too shabby.

Costume Lady said...

Hi, Sissy. Lots of sweetness to see today.

floralgirl said...

Yeah, Wanda, obviously my dancing needs some work....

Costume Lady said...

I've been sitting here for an hour and Belle is bound and determined to keep that chick hidden.

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Off to Staff meeting after coffee and dog treats. Only going to get to watch for short periods for much of the day.

Make it a good one.

Costume Lady said...

Don't get too good at your dancing, Megan. It's a known fact that NOAH was a great dancer;)

floralgirl said...

There was a feeding at 7:05, did you miss it?

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!!---Thanks for the new thread STEVE & MEGAN!!----CONGRATS!--MEGAN--you are our #1 EAGLE MOM--today & every day!!!---MORNIN' SISSY!!!---It is a wet grey am here in the WV MOUNTAINS!!!---But the birds are singing---That always lifts one's spirits!!----Maybe we will having another HATCHIN' DAY!!!----Wouldn't that be AWESOME!!----

Costume Lady said...

Morning, Glo. Me too...I have dentist appt. this morning and GeeGee has doctor appt this afternoon. By the time I see the chick again, it will be ready to fledge:)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

We had a tremendous thunderstorm roll through here last night. Power went out but only for a minute, enough to flip Mattie out. She got up and had candles all over the house. Bless her heart. She is in All County Choir today. She is so excited. What a kid!!

Costume Lady said...

Morning, Norma. Yes, another chick would be wonderful...we need a playmate for our baby.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN'--WANDA---& GLO (also know as TOTALLY NUTTY & SANITY RESTORED)!!!

Costume Lady said...

Didn't know Mattie was interested in singing...she'll have to sing for us the next time she visits us!
Yes, she is a sweet girl!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Yes, Wanda, she has a beautiful voice. Don't know where she gets it from. She has always been able to carry a tune, even when she was little bitty!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Rest of us can't carry a tune in a bucket!

normabyrd said...

OH YEAH!---WANDA---BELLE & LIB are both very good at keeping their actions hidden!!---ho!

Costume Lady said...

Sissy, when our grandaughter used to stay with us in the Summer, she would wish for a power outage everytime we had a storm, so that she could light candles. She was just about Matties age...must be something about that stage in their lives.

hedgie said...

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Eagleland and Happy
St. Patrick's Day to ya.

See we had an early feeding and switch. Just watched the 2nd feeding of our chick. What beautiful black eyes our chick has.

wvgal_dana said...

BWE parent is wet and feeding chicks.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I have always loved that!!

deb said...

Both!

floralgirl said...

Both our nest-

deb said...

Good morning, we have two eagles in the nest. At least my still cam does.

deb said...

Finally arrived on live feed.

wvgal_dana said...

What is that whitish thing laying near the chest of the eagle on the eggs???

Mits said...

I have been to Chicago, several times for the St Pat's festivities....the river is the color green to begin with, but they dye it the day of the parade, which is always the Saturday before St Pat's day, we would go watch them dye the river, I have some great pics, then we would be off to the parties.

Mits said...

that white head is blinding:)

wvgal_dana said...

What is that whitish thing laying near the chest of the eagle on the eggs???

Mits said...

was wondering the same thing, Dana

wvgal_dana said...

When Liberty moves away from cam and us admiring his beauty and him being so handsome. Maybe we can get a picture Mits and check it out??

Mits said...

POOF ONE

normabyrd said...

MEGAN---We have lots of turkeys in this area---up the river----in the woods behind our house---hunting not allowed--Great sport here!!

Mits said...

Everyone must be getting to work, live feed starting to freeze for me.

Mits said...

my guess is some leftover fish??

deb said...

I wonder when the eagle will leave my "live" feed. It's been gone from still cam about 3 minutes now.

Mauley said...

Happy St. Patrick's Day all, and congratulations to our little Mattie. I know she is a breath of fresh air to Sharon and Beverly. And on top of that they have Andrew, too. Live Feed is a blessing, isn't it. Wish I didn't have to lurk so much and could blog more. Gotta go teach and earn my money so I can pay our taxes. Hubby said we would have to sell the farm to pay taxes this year. blessing to all today, Mauley

normabyrd said...

HELEN!!----I bet that was COOL!!

Mits said...

it is a lot of fun, Norma, and I love Chicago, great city, great people and great food:)

Mits said...

The people that dye the river are the same family that has been doing it for years, passed down thru the different generations, and they have a secret formula, and it does not hurt the fishes:)

Red said...

Good Morning! HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!! Hope everyone has a great day.

Here’s to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one
A pretty girl and an honest one
A cold beer – and another one!

Mits said...

I'll drink to that Red, except I like men:)

Lolly said...

Top of the morning to you all!

So, glad you received rain. Bright sunshine here! Going to be another day to dig in the dirt! I might even bring some plants out of my green house! That is really a declaration of spring!

hedgie said...

Hi again. Not feeling much better...must be the barometric pressure working on the sinuses!
For the DID YOU KNOW file......most famous folks are recognized on the anniversary of their birth, but St. Patrick's Day celebrates his date of death. Isn't that strange?
Saw a feeding of our little guy a few minutes ago...looked like he was sticking out his little wings for balance! Too cute!

Mits said...

turkeys and crows at Pix

Mits said...

you can hear a woodpecker on the Saline cam.

Mits said...

Saline cam has the link for the Nasa shuttle and ISS

hedgie said...

Just had a thought...or question...maybe/or DOES the Catholic Church designate date of death for Saints as the important date? Mits? Ceil? Jo? Margy?

Lolly said...

Time to read the paper! Will be lurking! Lurk! Lurk!

Red said...

I'm not too concerned Dana. Trouble knows me well. We are old buddies. lol

Mits said...

in some case they do, and in some cases they don't....just sent your question to my friend the parish secretary...maybe she can grab a priest who knows

DYEING THE CHICAGO RIVER

Lolly said...

Been watching OK. Really time for one to hatch! She has been sitting low with head down a lot....maybe she hears something?

Deb, are you keeping an eye on OK?

deb said...

I have it up, Lolly, but I keep missing her get up. I'll have to check the Forum that Never Sleeps!

deb said...

That is a fun video on dyeing the river green!

wvgal_dana said...

Lolly I too have been keeping an eye on Ok...she keeps listening.

deb said...

Mits said...

Deb, I like fast and to the point clips:)

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, think that was Liberty that came back...

paula eagleholic said...

Since we don't know which egg hatched, I am including all the info for all the eggs...

March 17, 2009

Today's egg stats - not including day egg was laid

Egg #1 45 days
Egg #2 43 days
Egg #3 39 days

Lolly said...

That is what I thought, too, Dana.

wvgal_dana said...

Md. Senate Approves Text Message Ban While Driving
The Maryland Senate has overwhelmingly approved a ban on sending text messages
while driving.

Now to enforce it........

eagle sounds in background at HI and Dad went to investigate, Mom stayed home

movin said...

sO! If our chick is #2, hatched at 40 days, we might expect #3 today or tomorrow.

hedgie said...

Amen! Not sure how they will, but....it needs to be stopped!
Hi, Jim!
I like your avatar, too, Paula...lovely for this Irish gal!

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - those are for our nest.

Eggs-actly, Jim. Let's hope!

Mits said...

Tai Shan is up on his new play toy, the dead tree stump.

wvgal_dana said...

I thought they were going to ban the use of cell phones while driving all together?

Mits said...

don't know about cell phones in MD, but they are banned in DC.

Mits said...

Tai saying Hi to Mom at the Howdy window

movin said...

I guess you know they mandated 'hands free' cell phoning in CA a couple of years ago, but they somehow overlooked texting ...duhhhh!!!

This year texting is also illegal. Personally, I don't see how anyone is still living if those crazy babes have been texting too!

I tried phoning in morning traffic years ago, but I could never keep my mind on two major things in heavy traffic, so I would wait till it came to a screeching halt, or I would pull over. Texting in our traffic here is absolutely insane!

I got the blue tooth stuff last year and I haven't hooked it up yet. I only seem to call in emergencies these days, or I wait till I get to a 'stopped place.'

Three eggs for the San Jose Falcon.

Mits said...

great Deb, didn't they have 3 last year...and the guy shimmied down the wall to tag them?

wvgal_dana said...

Nice size fish just brought in to OK. Maybe we will get to see eggs.

Mits said...

Clara, she is a beautiful falcon

deb said...

yes, that is the one. In downtown San Jose outside the Mayor's office.

hedgie said...

Lunch time in our nest!

Mits said...

I love that cam.

deb said...

It is a new male this year, named after a Steve Colbert character.

paula eagleholic said...

Can see chick and one egg at our nest

wvgal_dana said...

I think the one on the eggs at OK is trying to be moved off they nest by brinning in a fish. That isn't working so the eagle is trying to step closer to one on eggs to move off. Well no go ....flew out.

movin said...

Did anyone get that?? My Live Feed first froze up, and then when I refreshed, it went down.

It might be up (frozen?) now, but Belle is back on the egg bowl.



C(°Ù¿°)D

paula eagleholic said...

Another Steve Colbert bird?

Mits said...

eagle tried to sit on the one at OK, but it was not budging:)

deb said...

I saw in on still cam, I turned off my live feed, it's not working for me.

deb said...

Both Red-tails in Tulsa.

Mits said...

I missed it on still, now my still screen is black, but it always comes back on.

deb said...

And gone. He sure flies in and out quickly.

wvgal_dana said...

Mits does that mean in DC even Bluetooth is banned? Not that I have one but know lots that do.

Mits said...

had to race to get the full screen at OK before eagle went down....I think any blemish I saw on eggs was grass or dirt....unless "the forum that never sleeps" got a better view...

Mits said...

74° at OK

Just Vicky said...

Judging from all the ups n downs at Caltrans, I bet there's a hatch!!!

Mits said...

from Norfolk newspaper....

Any day now, eagle egg should hatch at Norfolk Botanical Garden

12:55 PM EDT on Tuesday, March 17, 2009









NORFOLK – It’s nearly hatching time for the first of three eagle eggs in the nest at Norfolk Botanical Garden.

It could happen as early as today, wildlife officials say.

Bald eagle eggs typically hatch 35 days after being laid and the first was in the nest on February 10.

In the past, this particular eagle pair has generally incubated their eggs for 37 days, which would put the first birth on March 19.

Their second egg was laid on February 13 and the third on February 17.




Once eaglets are born, mom and dad will be busy bringing them food and watching over them.

You can check on them, too, and watch their growth, on the WVEC.com Eagle Cam. It's running 24/7 and night viewing is possible with the help of an infrared light.

Mits said...

I just looked at Caltrans, everytime I go there eagle is down....:(

Mits said...

think I'll bring lunch in and watch it for awhile...

Just Vicky said...

Caltrans' cam has been freezing up today!

paula eagleholic said...

Do that all the time, Mits...

paula eagleholic said...

Up again our nest

paula eagleholic said...

We have a hungry little eaglet!

Update on Connecticut Osprey cam:
Thomas wrote:
Lori, No I didn’t see them They have not made it back to Ct. yet. The cam problem is still ongoing, They replaced the camera with a new one. Next they are going to snake a new line through & if that don’t work they will have to replace the computer. They are hoping to get it going before the osprey come back ( less than 2 weeks ). Well lets keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.
Thanks & Have a Great Day, Thomas

paula eagleholic said...

Turned on live feed and zoomed in...can still see just one egg and chick...egg has a black spot at the end...

Just Vicky said...

No one wants to do the 200?

Mits said...

LYNN, in answer to your question about saints this morning......straight from my pastor.....It can be either. Info directly from Msgr. Vaghi

Mits said...

didn't even realize split was coming up.

Good afternoon. Blogger ate my comment. I said I just noticed that the goose on the snowman cam had its St. Patrick's Day garb on it.
