Good evening Eagleland. Have to catch up on this thread of comments.
well I am up and enjoying a cup of tea. Doesn't look like I mised anything while I was sleeping. Time or some more littl eones to be cuteing up their nest. Ours is "prescious". I agree there are some advantages to being an only chick at least for the worry warts. We can spoil it rotten well cheer the spoilin on I guess. I do always wonder about the only ones too as they don't face that survival challenge quite as young as those with siblings doing the pecking order. Maybe they fledge with huge egos though that loudly proclaim "Its all about me" Hope so. Ours has great parents I am sure they will teach the life lessons it needs eagle style...:)
2 our nest again
Eagle at BWO with a whale of a fish!!
hello everyone
How are our eagles and eaglet doing today?
Feeding again our nest....
Boy did they did out the bowl? Look at that hunk of stuff to the left of the bowl...
Duh, did they Clean out the bowl...

Hello Paula, beautiful eaglet eating.
Heading home,, c ya later...
Good idea there Ceil...Headlines read "Eaglet_Momster/Dadsters Hits Lottery"
I'm in what state we playing and how and who do we get our $1.00 too each week?
im I don't know where on screen I'm going to put it but thanks for letting us
know it will be on March 20th Friday....Oh yes birthday present for SISSY !!
YES Lynn they are TWINS the POLAR BEARS.
That was a 39 day hatch for Caltrans. Thanks Vicky! Wish they would move cam in closer.I do see another egg there; should actually be two more.
Thanks Glo for the video and Paula for the link to youtube on from Maine Forum.
Sharon congratulations on not smoking !!!
Thanks Mema Jo for update on Mason still continued prayers there.
JIM somewhere I did read where Buddy would have to become an educational eagle. Due to where he is at people come around and he is getting to use to them plus to the feedings. Will try to find that article. I remember it because I wanted "him to be free to fly and soar"...I was so sad when I read it.
Hi Dana, you seem to be caught up on all the news that is fit to print! :)
Good evening friends. Got back from the bank and the DMV a while ago. I actually had a pleasant experience at the DMV. They didn't send me for anything else, had everything on the first try. I must say I don't think that has ever happened to me before. Ah, the wisdom of an almost 50-year-old woman!!
Hello Bev, Sharon and Dana. Is wisdom what it is called Beverly? : )
BWO UPDATE.....
Nest Update
The bucket truck has been to the platform and we've finished the maintenance.
Although we hear the truck slipped off the dike and almost ended up in the water. A dump truck pulled him out. Seems the ground around the refuge is still soft and wet from our weather.
BWE UPDATE....
Nest Update
Some cam watchers were worried that both parents were not around, but here is a photo showing both parents on the nest Wed. afternoon.
We've posted three videos in our Eagle Cam Web Log that show our two young eaglets in action.
feeding time
Missed the bucket truck....too bad they couldn't adjust the cam remotely to broadcast the event :)
Looks like Belle just covered up our chick...heading outside for a bit...to nice to miss.
EAGLE eating at Caltrans
now feeding wobbly chick
some FAG about Caltran...
• The eagle camera does not have zoom capabilities. It will be difficult to see the eaglets once they hatch, until they are larger. You will notice different behavior on the part of the adults that will indicate that an egg has hatched.
• The video viewing screen cannot be enlarged.
• Daylight hours for viewing are variable and based on U.S. Naval Observatory official sunrise/sunset for Redding, CA
more facts from Caltran.....
What's happening in the eagle nest?
The first egg hatched a little after 4 p.m. on March 17! The first egg was laid on February 6th, the second on February 9th and the third on February 13th. All the eggs were laid in the early evening. The eagles will continue to incubate the two remaining eggs until they hatch after about 35 days.
Pay attention when the eagles switch places during incubation. Their talons are very sharp and can easily damage the egg shell, so they carefully ball up their feet when they sit down on the eggs.
3 eggs in view at OK
EAGLE UP
FEEDING AGAIN
Well, I just ventured outside for a few minutes to clean up around the yard a little bit. Couldn't stay in with the weather this beautiful!
I am so enjoying watching our little Hidey get fed!
If you zoom in, you can see the black spot n the end of the remaining egg in our nest
Yup, it's good even in slo mo
I just love watching how careful and gentle the adults are.
Yes it is amazing Paula.
Thanks Mits for information on Caltrans. Funny I had that at full page reading some. Came in and here you had it and more lol
I do think it is nice at Caltrans we can see the eagles flying in and around nest. I would rather they zoom the cam in more to the nest. That way we can see chick and eggs. See feedings and etc.
Hello all. Had a nice afternoon out with a good lunch. Came home and promptly took a panda nap...and woke up with a sore throat! Can't win some days!
Beautiful out today, but weather report for the fiswt day of spring is saying maybe snowflakes...doesn't that figure?
Hey, Sissy, my last trip to DMV was the same....drive-up window
and was done in under 5 mins. They really have improved a lot in the last few years. Drivers' license renewal coming up in May....we'll see how that goes!
Probably just forgot but the American University team is called the EAGLES!!!! They play tomorrow night on the road to the Final Four.
from what I read the only reason the cam is on is because the animal rights people wanted to keep any eye on the eagles while the construction was going on , so that is why there is no attempt to make it better, there was no extra money in the budget...
Lynn you never believe this---my drivers license renewal in coming up in May lol Wanted to do it on May 9th but that is on aSaturday guess I'll have to pick another day. Although May 9th was the last day I could do it....yours too probably.....love sharing with you....( :
We are going to have one fat little eaglet. Eating again it looks like.
Our little porklet!
Owl is on the platform, BWO
This sad news just came across:
Actress Natasha Richardson Dies
Film, Stage Star Injured In Ski Accident
...was
I'm sorry, my "was" comment goes with the owl at the platform post..
Jo, I was reading about Natasha Richardson. She had a skiing accident in Canada, on the beginner's slope, took her down off the mountain, doctor's deemed her okay. Her ski instructor went to the hotel room with her and then an hour later she said she was feeling funny. Ended up in a hospital in Canada on life support. They flew her to NYC and then had to stop life support. You just never ever know!! She was Vanessa Redgrave's daughter, Liam Neeson's wife, had 2 teenage boys. She was in the movie Nell with Jodie Foster. Such a tragedy!
No problem, Margy - We know that 'replys' to comments are usually 2 comments afterwards......
Don't think Dr's deemed her ok...
She didn't see a DR at the encouragement of the ski instructor and ski patrol.. They call ambulance for her when she was in her room...
Truth to that statement, Sharon.
You just never know what the big plan is for you.
A spokeswoman released a statement earlier saying, "Natasha Richardson fell in a beginners trail while taking a ski lesson at Station Mont Tremblant. She was accompanied by an experienced ski instructor who immediately called the ski patrol. She did not show any visible sign of injury but the ski patrol followed strict procedures and brought her back to the bottom of the slope and insisted she should see a doctor."
The release said that as additional precautionary measure, the ski instructor as well as the ski patrol accompanied Richardson to her hotel.
"They again recommended she should be seen by a doctor," the press release said. "The ski instructor stayed with her at her hotel. Approximately an hour after the incident Mrs. Richardson was not feeling good. An ambulance was called and Mrs. Richardson was brought to the Centre Hospitalier Laurentien in Ste-Agathe and was later transferred to Hopital du Sacre-Coeur."
Too bad...had heard this am that she was "brain dead" so knew that it was just a matter of time before they pronounced her. One of those freak accidents....why helmets are always a good idea, even if they don't always prevent tragedy.
I think even if she saw a doctor, it would not have helped, probably an unseen catrosphic injury to the brain, that did not show up right away. Maybe the only thing that may have given her a chance of survival would have been if this happen in the states...
I am now going to retire to my favorite
recliner! I've been up/about since early afternoon. I'll try to return
at the end of this day....
I had sent out notice that Patrick has returned home to Germany from Iraq. The girls were asleep so it is going to be CHRISTMAS TIME IN MARCH in the morning!
((hugs))
that was a good movie, Nell, it was where she and Liam met and fell in love...
would love to see the look on their faces in the morning.
Well gang I'll catch ya later. Make a good night.
Christmas at Springtime, that's wonderful Mema! xo Rest Welll..
Bye Bye T-Bird.....
Paula, MSMU is playing in a tournament at JMU tonight, son and friend drove to the game. Jubby is listening to it on radio, very close game.
looking around for Easter recipes....think everyone is tired of the ones that i have been bringing, and quite frankly, so am I.
2 eagles at Caltrans and feeding one chick
Mits - Is JMU in Harrisonburg? I heard they got an invite to the new tournament down there...sorry, forgot to mention it. Glad Jubby and son found out.
Is jubby listening on-line or radio?
OK, I see you said radio...
Both Caltran parents up and eating again, I think the one in front has a mammal, is it dark colored
Yes, Paula that is where, it is, but they lost...:(
Awww, shucks.
Two Eagles at Lake Washington, their usual time to show up I guess
Criminal Minds was gory and scary...and obviously not the end of the storyline!
lol...Lynn I said the same thing to hubby, he said you mean a 2-parter, I said no, he will pop up during a sweeps period....knew it was him when they interviewd him the fist time....BAU getting a little slow.
I hope they continued that story line and catch him on Criminal Minds - That was like Bones when the Grave Digger wasn't caught or even mentioned for a month or so before the theme came back & she was caught!
Little raccoon off to the right of the feeder at Saline River....
Lots of rotten nasty food on the animal feeder tonight but raccoons usually eat anything!
Good evening! Have been really busy today. Tomorrow is going to even busier. We have the trailer and have to load it with food and clothes tomorrow. Also having out of town nephews family for dinner tomorrow night as well as Laurel and boys. It will be busy and I won't be on much. We leave Friday morning and will be back Sunday. No computer this trip. Going to state park with no Wifi.
So, you are going to need to take good notes and pictures of OK and NBG. LOL
Are the BWEaglets sleeping out from under the adult?
Lady LW looks so pensive....
and night light JUST came on there
I see the BW eaglets, but what is that at the top of the nest?
Top of the nest was FOOD FOR THE DAY
Does not look appetizing! :)
Tomorrow is a busy day on the home front!
am - Ocupational Therapy
pm - Physical Therapy
pm - Home Health Aid
I think I'll make it through all those!
Going to be learning how to go up/down steps (only 3 outside steps). Hubby put up handrail earlier today. I do get to try to put my jeans on to go outside!
WHoo Hoo.
Magpie if you get a chance - send me
the critterzoom link for LW & Kent.
I can't get mine up...
Hubby upgraded my hard drive and I think I am missing something.....
Okay Mema - sometimes it opens to the page but the live view does not open up, and sometimes, it does...there are other ways to access I think (Deb will comment probably) but here is what I use:
Lake Washington Eagles
Whatever you are baking - smells goo, Margy
Lolly - You will be busy but I love that kind of "busyness" Enjoy and have fun!
We'll hear from you when you return!!
Both adults there now, one was gone for awhile
Thanks Margy - like you say - sometimes it comes up and sometimes it just doesn't. It is the link I've been using I need to have more patience!
Ha Ha, Jo - it's a mix:
Krusteaz Raspberry bars...
I think somewhere on my give up for Lent list was Sweets, but I tossed that one overboard...
no chocolate though (most of the time) ☺
Then I am going to make Cheese Salad (with olives of course ) ☺
All right - gimpy here is going to bed down for the night!
Good Night All
Prayers for All
((((hugs)))) ♥
I love the way Lady Lake Washington wags that tail !
I wonder if Sissy has started partying hardy early !
If you recheck messages, JO, - I want to know that when you were in the hospital I could NOT get it to open....
Jo left us and so did the LW Eagles...
Have been watching LW, come back to the blog and see you have as well. I liked it with both in the nest whith their eyes glowing in the dark.
I think I see that there is an Eagle on the branch still, Lolly ☺
**********************************
I'm going to say Good Night to those that the Pillows and Blankies are going to grab up soon,
Peace, Love and Prayers for all
(but I will be up for awhile yet) xo
I'm taking my sore throat and bad tooth off to bed. See you in the morning. Prayers for all.
Atlanta update from today...
March 18
Yesterday, Heather and I were able to collect current measurements on the ever-growing Xi Lan. Keep in mind that these results may be slightly off due to the wiggle factor, as it is hard to get exact measurements when the subject is in constant motion. His body length (from tip of nose to tail base) is 89 cm. (35 in.), tail length is 11 cm. (4.3 in.), neck girth is 41 cm. (16.1 in.), chest girth is 53 cm. (20.9 in.), belly is girth 62 cm. (24.4 in.) and nose pad width is 5 cm. (2 in.). He currently weighs 12.2 kg. (26.9 lbs.).
All of this growth is a result of him consuming Lun Lun’s milk, as this is still Xi Lan’s main source of food. We have, however, seen him chewing on leafeater biscuits during the past week or so. We can’t tell if he is actually eating the biscuits or just chewing on them. But I do know that yesterday he found one of Lun Lun’s banana pieces, which he proceeded to eat and just like Mei Lan; he sucked it down, since he does not yet have the chewing concept figured out.

good night everyone.
My sister is gone, we got a lot done, but have more to do. Working on a wedding week scrapbook for my niece.
That is so sad about Natasha Richardson. I was hoping there was a chance she could recover.
Eagle with glowing eye on the branch at Lake Washington.

I agree, so very sad about Natasha Richardson. Such a tremendous loss for her family.

Glad you had a nice visit with your sister, Deb
Gnite, all.
Hugs to all ♥
Our eagle is awake.
I am really tired, so headed to bed early tonight. Night all!
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Okay, Deb. It is official...I am moving to S.Dakota!!! News just said pythons are going to become common in the south. Well, if they are going to be here, I am NOT.,
I need to go pack my bags, heading north. May not stop when I reach S.Dakota, may make it to Alaska!! Eagles there...no pythons!
Nite all!
Hey ! It's Thursday, March 19
So,
Happy 50th Birthday, Sissy! Hope it is your Best One Ever, filled to the Brim with All your favorite things! xo ☺ ♥
Whoo Boy, just got called in to work to try to go fix one of the computer systems, the police teletype network...
Sigh...
I will be watching for any late night playmates when I get home
xo
Well, I couldn't fix the problem either, backup agencies can run police things for the office...so the violators don't get a break tonight in this county
...now, where was I...?
I'm kind of surprised that the third egg hasn't hatched by this evening.... Technically, it could still hatch, but I'm not too sure what the chances are................ Hope it does.
**GOOD NIGHT**
**ALL IN EAGLE LAND**

Oh dear, Spidey is threading his way across the view of our nest...
and now it is out of sight...and now back IN sight again
:(
It was rather fascinating though, I think he was singing
Happy Birthday Sissy ♪ ♫
It really IS pretty cool, he does not look so big when his body isn't plastered across the cam itself....I wish someone was awake to see it also..
and Belle is awake, would like to watch her snatch him ...
I will put a picture on my Roost link...
I can tell you this, his web strings are criss-crossing in front of our view now....
You are Definitely going to notice the difference....I put some before and after pictures up...
Right now it resembles a rib cage...
don't ask me why I am up, but watching this is really pretty neat !
Wow, the Robins are up early, I better hit the sack.
Hope I gave you plenty of notice about Spidey...
because anyone watching in the dark is surely going to notice!
See you all later in the morning
