Glo, I was sure that you had the hatch last night. It looked like a little one to me.
And back down again.
WE SPLIT BACK THERE HOPE EVERYONE MAKES IT OVER.......
Caught the end of that, but beak went down before I could get a pic! It did look just like Glo's video. Did Dex or Deb catch it?
I got the one before this, 3 intact eggs from what I could tell. Pictures are on Nest page.
OOPS, we should have probably seen some shell fragments if it were a hatch. Didn't see any.
I saw three eggs. : (
Thanks, Deb, for the links to Maine forum (temp).
At least one commenter thought that the female I was describing as the resident was in fact the new intruder.
I thought I could I.D. that pair in 2007, and perhaps part of last year, but I can't be sure now who is who.
That must be prime eagle real estate. They are always getting challengers .. both sexes .. on that nest.

Jim
Yes this is Dex
Looked at Deb's pics of the eggs. Definitely three of them, but the blurriness of the enlarged pic makes it difficult to tell how 'intact' they are.
I don't see any definite pips or cracks in this shot though.
???? and ????
More ????

Red - you are having my "King Ranch Chicken" for dinner, LOL
I love it!
Dana - just leave out the chilies...it's really good.
Glo, you are NOT nutty!!! And we both should go for the eye exam, cause I was right there with you last night!! The more I looked, the less I saw, tho', so guess it was just wishful thinking eyes!!!
I watched til I darn near went blind. I saw talons when I was watching it live but then I would have sworn I saw an eaglet. Oh well, it is what it is!
I just looked up the recipe for Kings Ranch Chicken. Very similar to my recipe. It is delicious. And it's even better tomorrow warmed up.
Paula What can I substitute instead of the can of mushroom soup?
Red, your recipe sounds really good...bet you all eat off of it for a week!!
Dana, just use more chicken soup!
I'm real glad to be a Momster this year but I have to admit in years past....I just "kinda" watched and waited...wasn't so involved thought I watched a lot! Now I am adding more grey hairs ! But I wouldn't trade it for anything ☺
Feeling a little totally nutty myself Glo
I'm going to give up my share of the bandwidth while I fix dinner.
Paula when you are making it for yourself. Do you make that much?
Go to Saline! Quick!
What did I miss, Lolly, I see a drill!
I see a guy with a drill
Now there is a person with the drill.
Dana- you can use 2 cans of the cr of chicken soup instead...and Dana, you can just cut the recipe in half, then you would only need 1 can...it is very good leftover too, as Red said.
I know what you mean Magpie.
1/2 the recipe would fit in one of those nice round corningware bowls...like the 1/2 to 2 quart one.
I just thought you would like to see Bill and the backyard in daylight. His yard is woods, neighbor houses do not show. He said a little while ago what he was doing but I did not catch it.
Dana - just use 2 cans of cr of chicken and make 1/2 the recipe...forgot without looking how much soup was in it...you can also add some salsa too...
I never get to hear bill's little speeches for some reason. I can hear the animals and everything at night.
Eagle up, 3 pretty eggs in view
sigh
Me, too. HUGE sigh!
Surely would look prettier with an eaglet sleeping on an egg :)
I feel the big sigh too. I love our eagles.
I caught Bill one PM. He was about to put out eve meal & was looking for missing bowls and a beer can. He set his own beer down on the feeder & climbed over log, went down the hill & retrieved his dish & empty beer can!!
Up again
I hope you all have a good evening-I'm turning into a lurker.
Heading out to watch the big game...catch ya'll later!
Halfway thru making dinner...
nice to know you are all taking "good class notes" as Sunny says..
T-Bird - sorry I missed ya'! Hope you are still lurking.
Good Evening Wishes, Everyone ☺
I thought that if I stayed away long enough, there would be a chick or two when I got back:(:(:(:(:(:(
Our eagle is wide awake and watching all around.
good luck at the game, Paula.
We sure wish there was, Wanda.
Whacha fixin, Margy? MARIE fixed our dinner tonight:)
Up again!
Moving fluff big time
Back down
All I got a glimpse of was two eggs. Choppy feed.
She is a wonderful cook and I am so glad to have her fix supper after a long day away from home!
I didn't get a good look either, Megan. Except to see the head deep in the fluff.
Still about 52° here, the wind is still howling, too. From about 10 to 20 mph..
My spider web wasn't moving, so it is good to know the wind is blowing. Reloaded live feed.
Yep, I'm using the web as a guide again too.
It is 10 here, but it is supposed to start warming up after today.
-2 tonight, and 31 tomorrow, then up a little each day, 50's this weekend.
I am waiting for both hawks to get up so i can count the eggs.
We will be in the 40's and 50's the several days with lows around 30°.
Only one egg in Tulsa that I could see.
Yeah, I'm still lurking Magpie. WVU is winning by 18 at the half. I want to see an egg hatch.
I don't think the wind quits blowing in Tulsa.
That's what I want for a forecast, Megan, for the rest of March!
Two eggs still in Portland.
BBL
BIG EAST PLAY OFF!!---WVU has been winning BIG TIME against ND!!---now IT'S 42-30---
GO----EERS!!!
Just posted last decent pic I took before leaving work.
Gotta eat....
& thanks everyone who emailed pics today ☺
Just finished dinner. Jack is now building as fire. Ahhhh! We are now up to 2 inches of rain and more to come. So exciting. It has felt soooo cold today...presently 39, but the wind chill is something else!
I had never seen Bill around the feeder. Jack could not figure out what I was watching when he heard the drill. :)
Sigh....Sigh.....Sigh This waiting is getting bad. I know when the eaglet will hatch....tomorrow afternoon. Why?, because we are going to Dallas to babysit. If that will do it, so be it!
Eagle is up!
What in the world was that? Our eagle just appeared on the edge of the nest!
Owl is at BWO and WHAT in the world was that movement all about at OUR nest
Eagle got up off eggs and sat on edge of nest, then got back on eggs.
Sharon !
We had the same reaction !
I could see two eggs clearly and a third something that was grey. Looked like when she came back to the nest she nudged the third "spot".
Margy...Dana...Wanda...brush fire--Hammond's Auto Exchange, Falling Waters. Wind still blowing....not a good scene, I'm sure.
Poop shoot?
Looks the OWL is getting ready for a Poop Shoot, Owl Style - see from the link on that page that he was there this morning too, or maybe a different owl
that would be Tuesday morning, sorry
Like the new avatar, Wanda...
I got behind in posts while I was Over-cooking my chicken...I am not much of a cook, but the mashed potatoes were good
Hedgie You're right, not good, wind is a'howlin'- do you possibly think someone was burning brush in this weather? Get out the ticket book !
Poop Shoot which nest, Lolly ? :)
Well see, I saw the eagle laying on the eggs one second and then the next shot was at the edge of the nest. I guess it was frozen for a second. Skeered me!
It just looked so weird, Megan...the way she was standing back looking...is it Belle?
Margy, I was thinking possibly Belle did a poop shoot since she was at the edge of the nest.
Deb I'm glad you are keeping us up with the Egg reports because I am way behind on going around the country checking nests
T- and Norma, glad the 'Eers are delighting you tonight, that's a big lead
Gotcha Lolly - funny because I was thinking the same thing watching that owl! I finally got your pictures in the mail....☺
If I use the slow cooker for soups and stews, then that's another story, and my French Toast is hard to mess up
Look forward to receiving them, Margy!
I haven't seen our Mits for awhile, or our Mema at all.. Ladies.....are you out there ?
Bill has a new set up at Saline and a new name The Drunken Kitty Cafe.
Sure sounds cozy in Texas ♥ ♥ and Cold in South Dakota !
How about a couple of Eagles at Sunny Lake Washington ?
It is very cozy in front of the fire. Wet and cold out! And, I can not even imagine Deb's temp. Brrrr!!!
Jack is in his chair reading and I am in mine with my laptop. Both with our feet up! However, I am about to wreck the peace by turning on Amer. Idol. :)
Belle's head sure looks fuzzy---guess it's just a wind-blown do!
Time for Criminals Minds...NOTR a repeat!
Sure hope the Home Health folks did right by our Mema---she hasn't been on all day, has she?
Very peaceful scene at LW, Margy.
Something has our eagle's attention.
Did you notice the little bit of white showing under the eagle?
Now that it is all over, I will report this. My lovely dogs deposited a wonderful footlong dead rodent in my living room floor today. I was held hostage in my room upstairs until a neighbor got home and I got him to get it out. I don't do rodents even if they are dead! It was horrible.
Is it an egg or egg shell, you think, Deb?
Well, could that be part of an egg?
Foot Long - I wouldn't want to do it either, gross!
I think it is an egg, just never seen it like that before. It would be nice if it was part of a shell, but I didn't see anything the last time we saw the eggs.
As often as we've all been fooled this year, I hate to even guess!!
Yuk!!! Sharon! OMG...do not know what I would have done. One time we had a live mouse...Laurel and I were on top of furniture and I called Jack 25 miles away. ha!
Were you saying "Eeek Eeek" Lolly, like they do in the cartoons ?
I can picture this in my mind...did Jack come home?
Owl is back at BWO
I've seen that white before next to eagle. Think it's a foot.
and Lady LW is scootching down into the nest
Are you kidding?! I got no sympathy! The cat chased the mouse under the sofa and ate it. Jack got to clean up the mess when he got home. And, yes, I imagine we were screaming. ha!
Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feathers and fur. See you in the morning light!
This AM, inadvertantly left Live cam & blog minimized in bottom tray in 'puter. When I got home from work, Live cam was still running!
Sorry if it hogged some bandwith.
Maybe it's beacuse it wasn't up on screen.
Sharon, do you have a doggy door?? Yuck! I worry about that kind of thing with my daughters' Weimeraner...he chases birds and groundhogs...has killed one groundhog that we know of....but that was before they put in the doggy door, so.....it could happen!!
Well, all I could do was go upstairs, get all my dogs into one room and shut the door until I could find somebody to get it for me. I can't go around them living or dead! I opened my window and yelled at my neighbor when he got home. Now this is a good neighbor, not Mr. Baltimore!
We just had another egg check
Good Night Sharon
xo ☺ ♥
LW Eagle in nest is really chomping away on something
GREAT HORNED OWL is sleeping (?) on the BWO box. Only a few minutes until the camera freezes it on there for the night.
Still no definite sighting of a chick in the Sheptown nest?? Can't see anything in the comments.
Well, I hope we are missing something or they're behind schedule this year for some reason.
God bless you all for watching all this period... and for coming up with the great recipes. (LOL)
I used to love the Tomale Pie they served in the High School Cafeteria.. Anybody got a good, easy recipe for that??
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Oh Sharon! What an EEKY experience.
Good thing you kept dogs away. Lord knows what they would have done.
Another Egg Check !
...was...
Just looked in at Norfolk, which you can see in the night tonight, and everything looks very peaceful.
Remember how scary and violent their season was last year with the intruder and the GHO and everything. It's going the way it should so far this year, tG.
The SD Panda shot looks like an eerie botanical garden on Venus or somewhere tonight.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Did you get any pictures of the rodent, Sharon?? What kind was it??
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Lady Lake Washington looks like she is conked out ! As does Lady NCTC
It's time for me find the pillow and blankie, working tomorrow
so 4:15 comes around early.
Headed to bed with latest copy of Birds and Blooms
Good Night all, Sleep Sweetly.
Peace, Love and Prayers xox ☺ ♥
Paula is seeing one close BB game tonight. Tied at 46 with just 20 some seconds left. Opponent has the ball.
Jim, think I have a tamale pie recipe...will look and let you know!
I missed the turn of the eggs, but it looks like our adult is taking time to preen its backside and its wings now.
I'll have to check the weather, maybe rain tonight.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
So close, but Paula and Mits team lost by 2 pts. Norma's team won by 10.
Eagle has head tucked and is sleeping.
Calling it a day. Hope everyone rests their eyes well...looks like we'll have to keep eyes peeled again tomorrow! Prayers for all.
Eagle up, back down. Think I saw 3 eggs, I'll check picture out.
I put the picture on Nest Pictures, glare wasn't too bad.
Head tucked in and I am off to bed also.
TTUT
I am going to go tuck my head under my wing! oh yes! and elevate my leg!!!!
Sorry I didn't get on to say everything was A-ok today. I'll do better tomorrow.
Good Night All
Prayers for All being said
(((hugs))) ♥ ♥ ♥
Deb, your pic is showing 3 eggs, I'm afraid. Thx for getting that.
BTW, do eggs hatch at night?? I can't see why they wouldn't. After all, chicks eyes aren't open at first & they're in a nice warm place.
GREAT, JO! Pleasant dreams!
Belle was just up and did a quick roll, couldn't see anything but eagle.
Game was great, but lost by 2 points! Heartbreaking after they led most of the game. Was a hard fought game, 2 best defenses in the league.
Loretta - chicks can hatch at anytime! Just like egg laying!
Norma- glad your EEERS won! YAY!
Belle has head tucked back, hitting the hay here too.
Hugs to all ♥
Going to put my eggs and pains to bed now:)
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Thx Paula.
Sorry your team lost, but they sure went a log way.
GOOD NIGHT to all tired birders this evening. You've earned a good rest.
I think I'll hang a while, maybe something will happen. God knows it's that time.
Trouble is I seem to miss the action most of the time this season...even writing a short comment, and 'OOPS there's been an egg turning!'
Better get back to the cam.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
My turn to say good night to all. Leaving it with you, Jim. Maybe an egg will hatch just for you.
Nite.....sweet dreams.
Eagle stood up for a second---3 eggs. Will put pic on if it's decent.
Wind is really blowing her feathers.
Off to work -
Hope everyone has a good day.
xo
Put picture on blog that appears to be 3 eggs.
Good Morning Eagleland
Thanks Loretta for the picture.
Margy hope no fires today. Take care at work lady.
Our eagle is asleep at this time.
Bill's putting out all the bird food at Saline.
Lots of snow at both Finland sites.
Did anybody see that egg roll??
My live didn't show it, and I just happened to click on the still cam, where she was nearly done and she was in the 'glare zone.'
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
**Good Morning** to everyone.
I've been asleep and awake a time or two tonight, and I think I'll lie down again. I keep missing the action anyway......
Have a good Thursday, birders.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Both eagles were just in nest.
Poof - 1 gone.
Saved a couple Still pics.
Prayers for GeeGee and Wanda today for GeeGee's MRI
3 eggs.
