THANK YOU, STEVE.
Margy left us a message before she went to work and I thought it should be brought over here:

When you open up the Cam Daily page (where we get our New Thread alerts from Steve) if you go underneath the Eagle picture of Deb's - the Live Cam Feed link takes you directly to the new site.
The web address is also showing now if you click on the Bobble heads or the Live Video on the Main FWS page...just for your info, so Steve updated that as he said he needed to do...

BWO UPDATE...
Nest Update
04/03/09:
Here's another look at one of our mating shots. It appears that our male has coloring on his chest, which might make identification harder.
The main gender clues for ospreys are usually size (females are bigger) and chest coloring (North American males usually have no color).

“FRESH Fish”
On week has passed since the last of the three eaglets hatched. All three are growing quickly and are highly active. The youngest sometimes has a bit of a hard time during feedings, but the adults are providing plenty of food and all three chicks seem to be getting adequate food.
The male twice brought live prey to the nest this morning. First the male landed with a VERY much alive American Eel. The eel created much excitement at the nest as it escaped...at least temporarily. It was recaptured and brought back to the nest. later in the morning the male brought what appears to be a Hickory Shad to the nest. Again this prey was still very active and flopped around the nest. Although these eaglets are still to young to deal with prey themselves this exposure to live prey items is the first step in their development as hunters.
A sharp eyed camera viewer captured both feeding episodes and has posted them:

I guess there was a lot of excitement when the live food was brought in.
Hadn't had any email from Suzanne this am - maybe she took the day off!
HH OSPREY NEST----windy---but temp will be in 70s today!!---She always has that 'wind blown' look! ho!
LISA'S pic of the OSPREYS mating at the BWO site is cool!!!---She is so knowledgeable & explains everything so well!!---THANKS LISA!!!---GREAT SITE!!
OKLA has gotten lots and lots of fluff!
I didn't see it come in.
I heard from Suzanne today.
Our adult is still tenting but it looks as though Hidey is raising it upward
lol
That eel video was funny, the one eagle watching the activity below the nest.
Good Morning!
Belle sure does know how to tent!!
Atlanta Panda Cam is Offline - don't know what unless it really isn't Friday!
Thanks Deb for the info on Suzanne
I think today is Megan's day with our rain showers!
Going to leave for a few

iT sounds exactly like rain on a tent at the Sheptown nest this A.M., and it's beautiful that we can hear it.
Wanda, the 'web address' you and Magpie mentioned is also 'clickable'... I tried it, and it gets you to the camera as well.
For now, though, I've just made a separate entry in my browser menu for the Live Feed.
It will no doubt be straightened out soon.

L. WASHINGTON---EAGLE in nest!
(does she have eggs?)---
KENT NEST---M/T
Jim - the cam will stay at the new web address.
LW does have eggs, Norma!
I'm sure that sunshine was just a coincidence!!
It looks like part of a fish at BWO...I was wondering what it was until the Fish Crows arrived and began pecking at it.
Why would they leave a headless fish in the open, uneaten??

The 'CC PANDA' at ATLANTA is sleeping on the log above the hammock!!---Bet LUN LUN will yank her down!!---ho!
Tai is up a tree...
CT osprey cam is on, but just has a black pic...no video.
Well, we've had some light rain in So Cal also ... puddle covering the first landing on the stairs ... and I think we may get more.
But I was looking at the Old Faithful site earlier and noticed it had snowed a couple of inches at least. Just looked back, and it looks like they are in the middle of a cloud and the snow is coming down again.
They've had an unusually mild winter there, but now that Spring has arrived, it's really getting snowed in. Ha!
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
BWE getting some breakfast~!
Ain't it wonderful Jim!
We had a good rain here last night, the creeks are full. And it is still raining this morning...supposed to clear up this afternoon.
Get that water off, Belle
How cool was that!
There she went off to the right
Misty, moisty morning! Happy Friday Everyone.
Saw Hidey standing alone. Adult did a big shake I could HEAR & flew away. What a big cutie!
Eagle calling
I haven't seen the egg in a couple of days! Anyone else seen it lately?
No, I haven't seen it either, Paula.
Did you all see the poop shoot??
I saw it Deb!
Was just going to comment that it's not in the bowl...unless it's buried!
Did you just see parent fly behind the nest!
Parent just arrived at the launch pad, did some digging and is now tenting Hidey
No, I was loading my Poop Shoot video and missed it.
Here comes the rain again...
It is really coming down now.

sTEVE,
We could still use sound controls, including and on-off switch, on the Live Feed.
I was trying to do some work on another page while listening to some music, but the sound of wind and rain from the Feed was drowning everything out.
I could either shut the site down...need it later though, or do what I did. I picked a video (Okefenokee) to the right, and then I put it on pause.
It works, but it's certainly the long way around.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
sea eagles at Finland ...poof
YO JIM -
THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON THE CONTROLS! INFO WAS POSTED THE OTHER NIGHT BY SOMEONE FROM THE HOSTING WEBSITE.
JIM - YOU CAN ALSO USE THE PAUSE BUTTON BELOW THE FEED...

HIDEY JUST DID ANOTHER POOP SHOOT!
Sun coming out now...
MORNIN' NATURENUT----TGIF!!--ho!
I was just talking to my 4 yr old granddaughter!!---Tickles me to death!!!---wish she lived next door!!!
CHECK NORFOLK!!!----Feeding time!----all lined up!---TOO CUTE FOR WORDS!!!
Hidey is napping in the sunshine
another poop shoot
Mei and Tai are having a nice visit.
Parent just popped in and out...
Hidey did a poop shoot out of the nest, and then a little wing flapping!
Seems the parent brought those 3 corncob looking items
Or uncovered them, perhaps.
I was hoping they would cancel the Winter Storm for tomorrow for me. Well, they did, but not the way I wanted them to. My new forecast:
... BLIZZARD WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM SATURDAY TO 1 PM CDT SUNDAY...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN SIOUX FALLS HAS ISSUED A BLIZZARD WARNING... WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM SATURDAY TO 1 PM CDT SUNDAY. THE WINTER STORM WATCH IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT.
RAIN MIXED WITH SNOW WILL BECOME WIDESPREAD SATURDAY MORNING... CHANGING COMPLETELY TO SNOW BY LATE AFTERNOON. THE SNOW WILL CONTINUE SATURDAY NIGHT... BEFORE TAPERING OFF BY LATE SUNDAY MORNING. THE SNOW COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES... WITH 10 TO 15 INCHES POSSIBLE. THE HEAVIEST SNOW WILL OCCUR SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 90. IN ADDITION TO THE SNOWFALL... WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHEAST TO NORTH AND INCREASE TO 25 TO 35 MPH SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY MORNING... CREATING BLIZZARD CONDITIONS.
they look like panda poop;)
Deb, get out there and get your bread, milk and toilet paper:)
what an awful forcast for April
My goodness, Deb! Make sure you have plenty of BREAD, MILK AND TOILET TISSUE:)
Hmm, you are right, I better check the bread situation! Milk and TP are both okay.
HELEN...you know, Great Minds;)
There are probably some people who will hit the store. I can kind of understand the farmers, they could get snowed in a few days, if we really get the storm, still lots of time to cancel it, I hope!
hey Wanda, that is our mantra here in DC, when snow is coming, still have not figured out what all these people do with it.
look at that neck stretch
looks like ET with the neck stretch
Seemed to be trying to peek over the edge of the nest!
Trying to get those wings a flappin :):)
both o's at BWO
Good afternoon, eagle buds. FINALLY out of the penalty box. Caught up on blog, but still weeding through mail! Haven't been on momster mail in two days! Still need to go there.
Need to watch those feeding videos....I was just thinking of asking if our eagles ever brought in live eel or snakes...don't remember it ever being mentioned before, but was recently reminded of the eel population in the Potomac.
Deb, horrible forecast...no fun. Please get ready and stay safe--don't forget flashlight and radio batteries!!!
Pennington County officials have called off the search for the missing Schade family in the Black Hills after getting new details from Nebraska authorities.
What a mess, seems they stole a pick-up, stashed their car in the Hills to throw people off their trail. They are now searching in Nebraska again.
Mits, do you have todays' Post? Would like to have a newsprint copy of an obit if you do for my mom...it may not be in until tomorrow....Herbert "Bud" Altemus.
The day I was born' my moms' roommate also had a son the same day...they and both fathers became fast friends and remained so ever since...he passed yesterday. Mom sad, but okay. Luckily I keep sympathy cards on hand, so can get them posted in the morning.
Think I commented on that neck yesterday....it IS SO-O-O long!!! Thought I captured a super pic of it then but can't find it, so guess it didn't work w/ the other problems.
MORNIN' HEDGIE!!---What fun to have you back!!---I understand the backed up mail!!----Trying to catch up with my mail & house at the same time--
Lynn it will probably be in tomorrow's edition, also should be online too.
DEB----I'm hoping they will call off SOME of your forecast----meaning if you get it --- it won't be as bad as predicted!!!! ---BUT FLASH LIGHTS & BATTERIES are a necessity along with candles!!----I have always brewed some coffee---then if no electric---I can at least DRINK COLD COFFEE!!---Thinking of you----
those Caltran eaglets are really growing fast
Looked online, Mits, and obit's not there yet.
yes, it probably won't be there if he just died, may not be there for a few days, til people give the go ahead and info
just had HP at BWO

Can't tell what was brought in
Mits, I just gave out our new link directly...
Nice up close shot of our adult!
Those osprey's better stop that HP and get to work on the nest!
HEY MAN! I just now saw on OUR cam a VOLUME CONTROL !! How cool is that!
Thank you so much! The Pop Up Cam also has the control
I admit that all of you may have already found it - I just turned my speakers on and saw it.
yes, Jo sent it to beakspeak 2 days ago too.
poof
Lib just arrived with more lunch! Belle made a big fuss - she ran over and quickly grabbed it from him and then he quickly took off! Still can't see what it was.
cool my pop up is working now
The day we got the new cam I had sent it to Jason also... You mean our new link don't you. Jason replied and said he had updated it.
I haven't reloaded our page since this morning...will do so in a few minutes to check it out! Thanks, Jo!
NOW! I wish that when you slid the control to the left that it would turn the sound OFF completely. I love the sound of the wind but not when it is so blustery.
Hidey sure is taking in all those food maneuvers from his parent.
Some sort of mammal! I saw a head and front paws!
It's a squirrel!!
lol Do you think that our little Hidey is part Canadian Goose?
Hidey likes it! Give it to Hidey, he'll eat anything!!
Hmmm, maybe we should call the eaglet Mikey....lol
Look at that fuzzy squirrel's tail
It turns my sound off, Jo, when I turn it down.
mine stays on but at a lower level
Did you just see Hidey eating that long stringy piece? Like spaghetti!! ROFLMAO
Hidey is full! Plopped down and cleaning his beak...
glad i missed that one.

Duke eagle in rain....
Eaglets due to begin hatching: April 4
Now feeding at BWE...
2nd eagle just flew into Duke Farms
Deb where is your pc volume control set
Hidey is stretching out -
I remember when we first saw the eaglets' feet spread out that we thought something was wrong with them
lot of leftover squirrel
Going in to my Recliner
Put some ice on foot...
BBL
I didn't miss that Poop Shoot
I thought Hidey was going to hit his dad!
BBL
LOL.....poops shoot right at adult
Gadzooks, a squirrel in the nest & he's not just visiting.
Re: Park pontoon boat--just called there & new one was delivered & is going into the water as I write. Our Dir. will be looking fwd to a call for reservation from our group next week;>)
Here at the pond, they saw a tundra swan yesterday who upset the geese! & the ring-necked duck is still here too!
Back to work---have tons.....
Thanks for putting on the links to those videos, Helen! Too funny. On the one about the eel, looked like mom tromped on front baby's head---wonder it didn't have a broken neck!
Posted some videos on the EM blog.
Belle down in the nest with chicklet...wind has really picked up!
And check out the squirrel tail blowing in the wind....our new wind gauge!
Chickie almost hit Mom with that ps!
Guess what??? Can't get live cam again......
Jo, I turned cam volume all the way down and Mac volume all the way up, no sound!
I now have a very clean inside of my pick-up, Next is the outside.
Good breezy afternoon everyone!
I have a squirrel out here eating on the suet. I told him he didn't have a clue how fortunate he is. His cousin is lying in state at the Sycamore Palace!
lol....Sharon
Redoubt Volcano Latest Observations
2009-04-03 10:51:40
Small, shallow repeating volcanic earthquakes indicative of lava dome growth are continuing at the rate of 3-4/minute. These earthquakes are most prominent on station REF.
Cloudy conditions currently preclude views of the volcano in the AVO webcam.
I thought it was a little amusing. Heading out the street to Sissy's house for supper!
Great videos, Paula. I have a very short poop shoot on Nest Pictures and some pictures from yesterday on Deb's Photos.
Raining here again....off and on downpours!
No trouble w/ other cams. Surely I don't have to remove and reinstall flash and shock everyday!
maybe you have to do it again, since Hughes had you shut down
I think those osprey at BWO are just partying...all I ever see is them eating fish, and hear about HP, LOL
Lynn, trying turning off your computer.
Belle is still hunkered down in the nest w/ Hidey.
Sounded like Lib hollerin up in the tree.
Amazing how much they can puff out their feathers...Belle looks twice her normal size!
Wow, that wind is horrible. Thank God they are protecting Hidey. I am surprise Mr. Squirrel is still there.
Oh that squirrel isn't going anywhere...except in someone's tummy.
Man, look at Belle, riding the nest.
Hidey is getting some of that tasty squirrel for dinner too!
Ok, this is making me nervous, she needs to get back on that baby before it blows out of the nest. And, yes I know, they know what they are doing but I still worry!
More spaghetti for dinner!
Oh yuck Paula!!
ROFLMAO...I think half that poop shoot ended up back in the nest!
OK, so don't watch the video~! ROFL
Boy that Hidey sure can pack it away.
Heading home...catch ya later!
Runaway family update:
The Knox County sheriff's says during a conversation with her mother, Rowena Schade said they left because they felt social services was going to take their children. Schade told her mom they returned to Knox County to get their second vehicle, a 1994 Red Jeep with Nebraska license #12F982.
Schade told her mom the family had "another plan" and if things didn't work out, they would go "where no one would ever find them."
Okay, have cam up, finally! After finishing mail, etc., I rebooted, and now cam is fine. You can tell the kind of winds we are having....it is NOT pleasant! Look at the squirrel tale flapping!
Belle better not get up off our baby.....he/she will surely blow out of the nest.
So great to have the volume control. Zoom seems to be clearer than it was yesterday--not as fuzzy. Thanks NCTC and OutdoorTV people!
I have never seen our nest swing & sway like the NBG nest BUT those winds must be really high!
Hidey keeps trying to stick head out from underneath Belle! Don't SMOTHER me, Mom!
I sure hope that Belle has her talons dug into that nest....
Hi, Jo! How are ya', gal??
Oh, it's really terrible here, Jo.
That little Hidey is a peeking out from under!!! lol Too cute!

Tonight
Mostly cloudy and windy. Lows in the lower 40s. West winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph.
Hi Lynn - I sure hope she stays hunkered down in that nest.
Earlier I mentioned that I wished we had an OFF for the volume. Don't know if Chris was reading our comments BUT the volume now goes off when you slide the volume control all the way to the left!
going to have to hang on..
Swaying nest is making me woozy, and I'm afraid to watch Hidey....shut 'er down! Not going to be any better tomorrow it sounds like.
Hubby picked up twigs & branches today from the yard in hopes of mowing tomorrow. There are sure to be more limbs come down with winds that strong.
Hi Helen!
split coming...
my volume still is on even if it goes all the way to the left, but sound is really low there
split done
