Good Morning Fellow Twitchy Nest Watchers ☺
Hope it's going to be a good one for everyone.
A little sideline: I heard Spring Peepers last night in Morgan County, not very many and not for very long, but it sure was a sweet sound ♪ ♫
Also: you all probably know this but your Male Robins have a much darker head and redder breast, and Female Robins more light color on head and slightly paler breast They are all singing in my neighborhood this morning.
down to one eagle at Maine #1 nest
opps other one just flew into Maine
aww they are sitting side by side in Maine
Nice Helen, the Maine Eagles...looks like Snow and sounds like Crows
I've never seen them side by side on the branches before that is way cool, esp on full screen !
From the other thread:
In Santa Ana here, there are at least a few Hummingbirds per area all year round. I think some stay even if nobody feeds them extra nectar.
If they can't find nectar, they can feed almost exclusively on those little gnat type of flying insects, which they feed to their babies. But there is usually something blooming here somewhere all year round. Hard to see how they make sometimes though in the middle of Winter.
They usually start mating and getting ready for their brood about a week or two before Spring arrives.

Eagle Up!
wow look at that white tail.
both osprey at HH
now just one, must have been a switch
Good morning again everyone!
lots of action in Maine today:)
TO GLO: You should know by now, that you never have to apologize to us for your wonderful efforts to keep us up to speed on all the happenings with the wildlife on this blog! I think most of us have 'SEEN' a chick in our nest starting on Friday:)
For those keeping track...not counting the day the egg was laid, today is...
Egg #1 Day 39
Egg #2 Day 37
Egg #3 Day 33
Think the Maine Eagles finally chased the Crows out, both at the nest now and squawking.
Boys and girls at Pix Pa -
and OUR BIRD does not seem very settled...couldn't see much on that last egg check
Hi Sharon and Wadna
thanks Paula:)
Good morning, everyone.
Beautiful Owl, Helen. And yes, it is COLD.
Sure was hoping we would see a chick this morning. Maybe today!
make that Wanda
Prayers for GeeGee and you regarding the MRI Brain Scan, anything else you can tell us about that ?
They have posted a new report on the Northern Islands out here.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
No. Channel Isl. Report
Thanks Paula
We are still within the windows then ☺
Cute view of BWE Eaglets alone
all I have seen since Friday is an egg with a black hole, as I know alot of people have seen.
SEA EAGLES IN FINLAND! THANKS SUZANNE
They sure are ! thanks Mits
Just checked Saaksi 2009--SNOW!!!!
Sunrise at HI
Lovely sea eagles at Finney water nest!
Eating at BWE
Chicks looking good this morning!
Snow really putting 'er down in Maine...
Feeding at BWE
and Roosting at NCTC
Back in a little while...
Jo just called, doing good, Home Health was coming...she will get on later.
egg turning
Just saw 3 eggs! :(
Three eggs again, darn.
Good morning! Well, winter has returned to Texas. It is presently 38 and the best news..........we have had over an inch of rain and it is still coming down. Wahoooo!! Lolly is indoors today. Boy, will things green up after this.
Glo, we love you and appreciate your pictures and videos. Looking at the video. I too thought it was a hatch. And, of course, wanted it to be a hatch.
Thought the hummingbird migration map very interesting. Thanks, Megan. We are told to put out our feeders April 1, so I have not put mine out yet. The map, however, shows hummers north of us. So, when it warms up...out go the feeders.
Guess I should try to get some housework done today. I would rather just sit here and watch Belle.
Weight loss going great this week. I am so excited! About 19 pounds now. I am really telling the difference in my clothes and Jack told me yesterday he could see it in the fit of my jeans. :)
Have a great day. Going to put up the cam and read the paper.
Eagle's head just up--3 eggs.
I need a blue thingy for Finney's nest. I am on my laptop and do not have it here. Yes, I could get up and get it from my PC, but I am lazy, you see. Thanks!
Well, now, we know where Jack's eyes are, Lolly;);)
GOOD GIRL!!
That hummingbird migration map is neat, and of course, you can add your own sightings. We usually see them here around mid to late April, depending on the weather patterns, and sometimes we will have them pass thru on their way further north.
Yeah, Wanda! I accused him. His excuse, "Well, I am walking behind you." ha!
Anyone else having trouble with the live feed?
It works for a short time, but if I go to another tab, it freezes. It was working better earlier this morning.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Nice job Lolly, Jack's eyes are right where they should be...lol....
feeding at BWE...again
Yup Jim, Feed freezing here as well...
Lots of people looking for a chick...
My new avatar is a photo of Jo's JENNIFER's crocus...doesn't show up very well. Photo on my JUST FOR FUN also.
Ecuador hummer cam back online
Lolly
Finney Water Nest
The Sea Eagles are gone now, after trampling the snow down and leaving their Feetie Prints all over the snow...
Great Ch. Is. report and pics, Jim!
Muchas Gracias, Margie!
Close up of Tulsa red-tail.
And a close up of the Portland red-tail in the sun.
Anyone watching Maine 1 this morning? They think there are 2 pairs of eagles fighting over the nest this morning.
Find anything on your video, Steve?
yes have been watching it Paula..it has been a busy site, did not know about the fight.
Mei Xiang is enjoying a frosty treat.
eagles gone from Maine
Paula, do you know if they are going to start a new Maine Forum or if there is still a chance the other will come back?
Egg roll our nest!
I see 1 egg
Deb, I was just checking out their temporary forum...I don't think Judy knows the outcome yet....
Eagle was just moving a stick at the back.
now I see 2
They sure have been moving the fluff around..
Hang on, I'll post the link for the temp forum
And they also have the ning site...
Here's the temp forum...you can join right away...
Temporary Maine Forum
And here's the Briloon networking site
Ning site by BRI
I sure hope they don't lose all the information and pictures on the old site. That would be sad.
I saw two eggs and an eagle head. Live feed totally froze, I finally reloaded it.
Mits
Thank you for that update on Mema Jo this morning ☺
Thanks for the link, Paula.
Belle up and digging and spreading that fluff around!
Are the BWE eaglets eating again :0
they are going to start rolling around that nest:)
Dana, The shootings took place in South Alabama. Almost 300 miles south of me.
Hummers are a week south of me still. I need new feeders so guess I better go back to Walmart.
Red:
How was your class yesterday?
Got anything to dazzle us with ??
☺
Parent trying to cover up those forever feeding chicklets at BWE
Eagle up moving stick in the back again
Stand up--3 eggs!
Margy, Yesterday we learned how to apply color to B&W photos using Corel Paint Shop Pro.
How do you like that Paint shop pro? I've heard people like that as well or better than photoshop
good morning, just checking in. everything is fine here just a cool morning with a nice 70's day coming. will check back later.

Sharon, sent out a lovely email to group...yours came back saying that your mail box was full!!!! DELETE, DELETE!!!
Eagle up!
Feed frozen :(
Mine is not frozen.
Weather is getting funky McNasty here in Bluefield.
Mine either, still three eggs.
Mine unfroze a tad...
Switch??
We must have a lot of watchers today, freezing is really bad.
I got one look off of still cam, then the eggs were covered agin.
I have a problem with the cam freezing up my IE all the time. Anytime I try to refresh it, my IE freezes up and I have to shut it down.
Same here at work, Sharon. I have windows 2000 here, but at home, my Windows XP refreshes the cam just fine.
I don't know if that's due to the windows program working better, or the flash player version...different versions here and at home
Eaglets at BWE trying to escape again....they look really white in the sunshine!
I'm keeping my live feed off unless I am sitting her watching it...hope that helps a teeny tiny bit. I have windows XP and had a devil of a time getting anything at midnight last night.
Red Sounds Colorful ☺ !
I bet you are teaching as much as you are learning there.
SAAKSI 2009 - I haven't seen anything moving around on there but it is now dusk and screen is all blueish so I guess it is live...would like to see some feety prints in THAT snowy nest.
Paula, I'm new to Paint Shop Pro but so far I love it. There's so much you can do. I'm not familiar with Photoshop
Margy, I'm not teaching. This is all new to me. I do help the gentleman next to me. I was thinking he was my age then yesterday I found out he is 85. Hope I'm still together as well as he is when I get that age.
I'm sure he appreciates the help, Red , computers and technology can be scary things..85! that's awesome!
Wanda's Mom GeeGee is 88 and she is as sharp as a tack!
And then there is my 91 year old shopping pal who has really got it together! ☺ xo
Weak sunshine here. Weatherman predicts enough clearing for this evening that we should see Discovery!! Lift-off is scheduled for 9:20. Mission coverage on NASA channel (that's 283 on DirecTV). For mid-Atlantic area, when they say 900 miles downrange, start watching the SE sky (Candy, probably at about 700 mi. for you!)
Shuttle will be much easier to see than egg pips and hatchlings!!! LOL!
My Poor Ma had to return to the work force in 1963 (at age 54) after 30 years of being at home with a pile of kids, and went to work for the IRS Computing Center when computers were huge and she could have benefitted from a compassionate and helpful co-worker but it didn't happen. Some of the darkest days of her life.
Thanks for the Shuttle Info, Hedgie! I was going to ask you about that ! ☺
Winds picking up here, hope Division of Forestry curtails outside burning, but it seldom happens...
Margy, Saw Saaksi 2009 nest this AM. There is so much snow, I don't think an osprey would dare go there! ☺
Sharon, I had trouble like that if I had Live cam on a tab & wanted to refresh. Now I put both cams on their own page, so it won't wipe out all of IE.
I'm eating some left over sourkraut and kielbasa for lunch and just found out my two dogs will do anything for some sourkraut. lol
If I remember correctly, it's about 8-9 minutes after launch...it moves fast..not slowly like the space station!!
Red, LOL....all of the dachshunds we've had would come running the minute a can of sauerkraut was opened!!! My mom always opened two cans because my dad would eat so much right out of the can AND share it w/ the dogs!! He used to talk about the big barrell of kraut his mom made every year that sat on the porch, and his favorite snack was to dip into that barrell!
Eagle switched positions, missed it on still cam.
It is slowly happening on live geed, but most of nest is covered.
Thanks Loretta, I think you are the one that sent the alert out a few days ago...and I have been checking it every day ☺
Hey I saw your report of the Tundra Swans! Sent the info to my naturalist friend in New York - on the shores of Lake Erie ☺
Didn't see anything but eagles back on my feed.
Panda nap time for me and the pups now.
Feed not geed :(
Lolly re: hummers, my daughter has heard them already. She gets the Berylline now as well as the ruby-throated and green violet-ear and the B has a lower sound & perches in shrubs & tree branches. So even if she doesn't see him, she can hear him. But she is south of you.
Big stick in the nest.
My dogs like beer :)
Yes, Margy, that was so cool even if I couldn't see the swans. Naturalist here that Greg called on the phone was outside looking & said they flew over the Vis. Ctr. & the woods. I was looking over the River!We had lots of clouds tho, so wouldn't see many through them.
Back to work---only 6 more 4' x 4' signs & 1 banner to go on this request!
LW cam is down again. Kent is up, no snow, no eagles.
Egg roll, eagles back in view :)
Well, I just went to my window and opened it so I could hear God's music box. The birds are really busy and vocal today. It is getting colder here though, 51° here now.
Eagle up, very fast switch in positions.
Oh, how I wish I could take a panda nap. Hairy and Buphals are laying on my bed and I would love to hug up to them and go to sleep.
P.S. Margy, Greg thought the swans would be heading toward MI.
I have a robin out here eating the berries off my holly bush.
Megan saw the Tundras a few times when they were headed South in the fall, Loretta...I have missed them altogether, probably for another season...I will never forget the magical sound they made when I did hear them in Dec 2006 - - they were so high, but some of them flew across the face of the full moon that night ☺
Well don't let him poop on your vehicles Sharon...☺ could be colorful :)
pretty hard to keep a bird from pooping though
ANd so a nice calm day turned into a day with 30 mph winds just like that... at least it is warm- 72°
My holly trees are full of robins today too, Sharon. Yesterday it was waxwings. I have red wing blackbirds, starlings, and robins today. back to work-bbl....
I hadn't thought of that Margy. Red polka dots on the car.
Mattie got me a Lady Antebellum CD for my birthday and it has a song on it called "Home is Where the Heart Is". It talks about WV and just south of the Mason-Dixon line. I love it! I love the whole CD. My fav at the moment!
I have seen a waxwing here one time and that was last year. My holly bush/tree is right outside my window where I work. The robins appear to scope it out for nesting too but too much happening there wtih my feeding the rest of the birds right here. Chickadees, titmouse, white-throated sparrows, cardinals, mourning doves, house sparrows, finches - I think that is the list I have seen today, and robins!
♪ ♫ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ for sure Sharon
Those little house finches can really put out the tunes ☺
No shuttle launch tonight because of a fuel leak.
I see we have everything figured out on the nest or is that in the nest while I was sleeping, And where did that log come from? I hope it isn't so windy it blew down there...that thing is BIG.
I think its hard to catch whales when the wind blows and the surf is up.
To add to the bird list - junco, blue jay, house finch and I think chipping sparrows.
Hi Glo Hope you sawed some good logs yourself !
That IS a big piece of lumber in the nest
How is your daughter coming along?
Hi all! Been running errands and my cam stayed up and did not freeze for a couple of hours. However, I thought it was frozen 'cause she was sitting so still. Hit the refresh the second she moved her head. LOL
Still no news!!!
Going to eat a bite of lunch and then to the excercise/walk. I really like this DVD, you walk in place...rain or shine. It works for me. Like to walk outside, but it seems it is always too hot or too cold. This excercise really get the heart to pumping.
The BWE babies have been by themselves for a little while now. They are so cute!
Magpie Becky has a DRs appt this afternoon to talk about how that peritonsilar abscess is doing and what is next step if any. Other than that I know fever has broken and she is feeling much better. She may get to return to work/school tomorrow...She is a Music teacher so not sure how that will work, but mtbr I guess.
I had a good nap. Never sleep too long so I can go to bed tonight and actually go to sleep on a more regular schedule. Messes ya up a little bit.
I am actually retiring in July. Tried to do it Mid April but we need to get the Vacation time covered and a new staff hired and trained. I will then turn into a volunteer.
Eagle up
Okay sounds good ref Becky, Glo...
I see, you are probably going to "retire" like Ceil has ☺
Thought you had to go to work tonight, glad you do NOT.
Speaking of naps, I am headed for one now...
Eagle looking this way and that - watching us watch HER.
xox TTFN
..thought I saw a little birdie face under the feathers
but I think it was my imagination so it must be time for sleep
FLY IN
FLY OUT, switch at nest. I hope we get a good view.
Nope, I didn't think we would see much.
Eagle was up blocking view, just flew/hopped back on still cam----3 eggs!
Nice view of one adult eagle and one in the background who is getting some time off. No whales though hmmmm.
I saw two for sure, then cam jumped on me.
Had a nice little nap myself....the sleepies hit so suddenly!!! Wind is blowing REALLY hard...had to go chain the trash can to a tree! But really lovely out depsite wind. Forsythia is almost ready to bloom!!
Launch currently resch. for 8:24 tomorrow evening....fingers crossed for clear sky then, too.
Now, Glo, are you really retiring in July??
Wind is blowing so hard I couldn't hear any birds if they were out there anywhere!!
That is the plan Sharon. except this time it is from a job I actually love and have done for like 20 years minus those awful months with the job I hated while we were waiting on this new shelter to be opened. Its a long story but YES I think its time. I need to be more free to see family, enjoy what time I have left with Dex etc. I can flip hamburgers or not down the road if I need to but have to put some stress and commitment down for a while. I will still volunteer to do their stats but said I would not commit to any particular time and day. Just wait til some piles up and then head in and do it LOL. MTBR want a hamburger? LOL
Staff isn't making this easy on me though..gonna be hard to get away but I am working on it I really really am.
tHERE are a couple of interesting .. and funny .. updates at the Atlanta Panda site. And ZZ is on-camera now, concentrating on her bamboo eating techniques...
Still no news here, I see. I did see Belle get up quickly and look under her and right back down again... perhaps she is hearing or feeling some action... What do you think?
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Eagle up and back down...facing 2ish now
Hello my fine eagle momsters and dadsters.
I hope everyone is doing well.
I see we have no eaglets yet. : (
Bwe Eaglets really out of the bowl now...
Interesting report from Atlanta. Xi Lan is definitely a charmer, too...the writer certainly has a sense of humor.
Hey Tbird and Buddy....Belle is still on 3 eggs....
The one is really close to the edge.
Our eagle is moving?
After she unfroze, Deb, LOL
Me, too, Paula, couldn't see anything.
Deb - your comment made me remember how nervous everyone was watching the eaglets during the first season, which was the first season for many cams. Everyone thought the eaglets would fall out of the nest...
Not sure if there will be a Panda Cam at Atlanta...I think we've been hoodwinked...into thinking there was eventually going to be one...so it took the heat off of them for awhile...
I've shut my computer down two times but my cam still keeps freezing.
I don't think it is your computer. The more people who watch the more it freezes. Everyone is checking for a hatch.
I've got Maine up for the first time this season, and both adults are at the nest...making territorial calls, etc.
Do we know if these are the same players as the last couple of years??
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
At Maine, the female is making big sounds and doing 'ceremonial' nest work, jumping up on the branch next to the male, and calling out loudly again. All the time they are both watching carefully for challengers to their territory.
They are getting serious about nesting now, and they want to take care of any challenges to the territory now. Very interesting.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
No, Jim, even Maine people aren't sure who is who today. Nest dispute has been happening today.
I was thinking the same thing about Atlanta cam, Paula.
Nice big fish at BWE
BWE - Chicks snuggled together, parent in the nest with a fish....LIFE IS GOOD!!!
BWE chicks were white a few minutes ago. Now they look in their dark, second stage fluff, and one might be showing signs of pin feathers on her wings.
Still very cute, and what great catch Dad brought in for them.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Is the Maine forum server down today, or do I have old links?
I wanted to read about the recent intrusions, but can't even open the site yet.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
It's the sunlight Jim, makes them look white
Both parent now at BWE, and Mom has taken control of dinner.
Mom has arrived at BW, and she appears to be getting dinner ready.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Maine forum has been down since Sunday or Saturday...don't know when it will be back up.
Good evening Eagleland
Caught up on comments.
Those chicks at BWE at really growing. Nice fish like you all said.
Glo really going to tire to retire in July. Then volunteer there.
JIM, go to 11:18 today.
Heading home, see ya later!
Three eggs!
3 eggs!
Movement Three eggs She is looking at that front one expectantly She seems to be trying to coax the chicklet out. ;0
Yep, very clearly three eggs.
Pulling more fluff---Oh plz, not right before the nite lite! ☺
Good evening Dana, later Paula.
Hello Loretta, Deb, Jim and Dana..and Paula when you get back on. I have been lurking while getting on facebook.
The big stick is more to the side now.
AND THELMA. I didn't see you on here.
that's okay candy
AND MEGAN Hello!
Got my nap in and did some domestice duties. Made my famous Chicken Enchalada Casserole for dinner tonight. When Mrs. Red calls I'll plop it in the oven and it'll be ready when she arrives.
Here's the recipe if anyone would like to try it.
Chicken Enchilada Casserole
2 Cans Cream of Mushroom Soup
2 Cans Cream of Chicken Soup
2 Cans of Green Chopped Chilies
1 Whole Chicken, boiled and cut into bite sized pieces(I sometimes use 3 large cans of Swansons precooked chicken).
1 Pound of Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1 Pound of Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded
1 Package of Corn Tortillas
Mix Soups, Chilies and Chicken
Cut Tortillas into triangular shapes
Layer Tortillas, Chicken, and Cheese in a baking dish. (We use a 9x13 but a deeper dish might be better)
Final layer should be cheese.
Bake at 350 – 400 degrees till bubbly. About ½ hour depending on size of bowl
I still have live cam, but I had better not speak too loudly.
Wow Red, does that supper of yours sound good. Mrs. Red is one lucky lady tonight.
Future plans include Eye Exam and retiring. Get your video cams ready for tonight we do need a hatch or we have got one egg in trouble I'm afraid...but it won't be me "calling" it tonight.
I can't believe Live cam has stayed Live for about 2 1/2 - 3 hrs here! Was bad around noonish.
Going home soon--probably be clogged tonight when others are home also!
OH, WELL, IT IS WHAT IT IS!! ☺
Is that Dex?
OK, Glo, got your number!!! I totally agree!
My live cam is finally going. I say that softly.
Hi Thelma ( : Hi Candy ( :
Safe travels home Paula and Loretta and anyone else heading home.
Hi to all of Eagleland AGAIN !
Red hubby wouldn't eat it because of the Chilies. He does love soft Tacos though....yummy
Glo, you have me totaly nutty with your new name. Cute pic of Dex if that is him.
