The FINNEY WATER NEST is MT---But the sun shining on the water is beautiful----
I have sound, too, and one sleeping eaglet.
The NORFOLK 'REBELS' all cuddled together!!---AWESOME sight!!
Are your arms sore this am?---Didn't you go kayaking yesterday!
We are going to have a perfect day -- temp 41°---will rise to 70s!
(whoa--sounds like a gun shot somewhere)
The OSPREYS at HH are a wee bit hard to see in the nest!---WOW!--One can hear them---loud & clear!!
Hello all:) Going to be a beautiful warm day here, Hidey is gonna be looking for shade later.
Hey Deb, I'll trade you one carolina wren alarm clock for your cardinal alarm clock. Keep in mind, the wren is set for 4:50 am, and has no snooze function.
Have a great day, I'm off to play in the plants. Hope to see more hummingbirds today:)
I'll have to think on that one, Megan.
Norma, kayaking was on Wednesday and my arms did fine. We were only out a couple of hours, so it wasn't too strenuous.
MORNIN' MEGAN!----I just watched the video on BWE at the site of the 'REBELS' banding----They looked calm--cool & collected in these pics!!!
Good morning all. I have the beautiful song of a white-throated sparrow right outside my window this morning. God's music box is getting louder every day!!! ☺
DEB!--Have days confused---I lost a close friend Wed eve & another friend is in hospital!!---It's hard to accept the loss when they are younger than you!!----
FIRES IN MYRTLE BEACH!----Pray the fire is not close to CANDY!!----Need to read yesterday's blog!
MORNIN' SHARON!!----Hope all went well with you at UVA!!!---I have a nest of CARDINALS at the corner of my house!!!----Think of you when I see them!---Remember the BALD CARDINAL you had! ho!
Checked the LOON cam!----Nest looking good----anyone have contact with them---1st time I have checked this year---
Normabyrd, I didn't have to go to UVa. I had to go to Bluefield Hematology/Oncology for my last iron infusion! :)
SHARON!---That's a bit closer! ho!
Norma, so sorry to hear of your friend's passing. I hope your other friend is on the mend.
Thanks DEB!---things are fine!--
Norma, sorry to hear about your friend. We went to the wake last night of my sister-in-law's nephew, 23 years old. He has a 3-year-old son who is the spitting image of him. Such a sad time for everyone. His father just died in February.
I was watching OK site---M0M was feeding the little EAGLET---an EGG still in the nest & MOM is attempting to cover it up!!---little one wants to help----
ps---didn't see any 'SUBS' in the water!---ho!
Morning, Momsters/Dadsters.
Chilly in the Eastern Panhandle--41--but sun is shining.
Myrtle Beach nowhere close to our Candy, Norma!
Sorry for your loss of a friend. Hope your other friend is doing better.
Candy...if you check back in...hope the geek at least was able to recover stuff off bad puter so you can load a new one! Will send you blue links for cams if you need them when you get a new one!
WAYNE was a former SHERIFF & then CIRCUIT CLERK----at times I wanted to kill him & I know he wanted to shoot me too! ho!----But he was always there for you & we remained good friends---
MORNIN' HEDGIE!!---Is CANDY near the fires?----Bless her heart---she is going through tough times!!---
Hidey has a mouth full of fluff.
GERMAN STORK is on nest--covered with green -- DAD is standing tall beside the nest!!---AWESOME site!!!
No, Norma, as I said, she is not close to fires! I know that you were involved with the court system...what DID you do? Were you a Magistrate?
The PA PEREGRINE FALCON is on her nest--half sleeping---All one can hear is the LOUD traffic below!!--
NO UPDATE--
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
It is a beautiful, sunny morning here in Martinsburg/Shepherdstown. It is 49° and going up to 76°...what more could you ask for on a Friday. Saturday and Sunday are going to be beautiful, as well, but quite a bit wamer!
By the way, Megan, I have a Robin nesting right outside my bedroom window, and I find the Robin THE most annoying wake up call I have ever heard. She fusses ALL DAY LONG! She doesn't have a snooze button either..LOL
Candy is in THE OUTER BANKS of North Carolina. The fires are several hundred miles away in South Carolina. CANDY IS SAFE FROM THE FIRES, BUT HURRICANE SEASON WILL BE UPON US BEFORE LONG:(
Morning all. I live in the city. I will trade you all your birds if you take my annoying neighbor. He comes out around 6 or 6:30 with coffee sits on his bench and yells at everyone going to work. He also has a radio that does the fire and police calls. We do have lovely birds but they do not drown him out. He has been good lately because we have complained to him. Sorry to vent on this beautiful day
Could today be the day? The little one seems very interested in the outside world today. Lots of exercising of the wings too.
MORNIN' WANDA!!---Thanks!---That is good news!---I knew that!-----As our high school math teacher would say: Norma ---Put your 'THINKING CAP' on!! ho!
BEAUTIFUL MORNIN' CEIL!!---That's the #1 reason---one should move to the country!---ho!
Lisa at Blackwater has some good pictures of osprey returning to Maine and meeting their neighbors.
I've been in the city too long now Norma. We do think about it at times.
Osprey at BWO
PSSMITH!---You will be able to see the EAGLETS flapping wings---attempting to fly across the nest, etc.----That's what they will do before they take off!!---You can really worry about the little ones then!!----
PSSMITH it will be a few more weeks before this eaglet will fly.
I hope today is not the day. It will probably be over a month before Hidey is ready to fledge. Has to get flight feathers in, practice a lot more on the wingersizing!
Have a great day everyone. I better get started. See you later
SORRY---PSMITH---SORRY!--misspelled your name!!
SMITH...It will be long time, yet, before Hidey Fledges. Thank goodness. We want to keep him in the nest as long as possible. We enjoy watching his antics:) We will have a field trip in June to to watch him practicing "flying".
Have a good day, Ceil:)
A LONELY little CARDINAL at the PA site!----
CEIL!---If you moved--bet you would get lonely---ho!
Morning, all!
How is everyone on this fine Friday?
Most of the snow has melted at the MT FINLAND NEST---Can't wait---My favorite---next to the REBELS!--heck'---I love them all!!!!!
And hello to Candy and Sissy from the other thread....
Candy - think I would stop payment on that check to the Geek - $200 for nothing!! Highway robbery...
MORNIN' PAULA!!---'gonna be a great day'-----ho!
Hidey is looking rather lazy at the moment...
Good Friday a.m. everyone, have a good one....

opsrey doing nestoration at Finland
BLUEFIELD SHARON!---It's only 49° here in ROMNEY the 'OLDEST TOWN' in WV!----WOW!---If SANDY is up---you all will hear from her!!!! ho!
latest update for Mei....
Hi Panda Group: MX's hormones are still elevated. This is good news and gives us some hope that April 1 was actually the start of the secondary phase - giving us more time to see behavioral and possibly ultrasonographic changes. Fingers crossed.
I hope this is a lucky year for NZ:)
Mei has decided to come out this a.m and snooze in the sun
TODAY is ARBOR DAY!!----Plant a tree today!!----IF you buy a ticket to the movie 'EARTH'---DISNEY will plant a tree!!!----If you can't plant a tree!!----TRY TO HUG A TREE!---
APP-ART OSPREY CAMremember this one????:)
For the people new to our nest, just imagine 3 eaglets doing the wing flaps at the same time in the nest. That was more than nerve wracking!
Dark clouds have rolled in...looks like it's getting ready to dump...don't recall that they were calling for anything....yuck!
Yep, raining now.
They had mean people there, right?
Did we watch that one last year?? Seems like it was probably a couple of years ago.
HEDGIE!---It's raining?----WOW!---that's unexpected!!
Yes, Hedgie, chance of passing tstorms next couple of days!
Mits - those were nasty people there! They have sound now....cool. Someone there said the WDFW Osprey has an egg today!
looks like that rain will be at nest maybe in the next 20 to 40 minutes....if it does not dissipate
yes Sharon, some people that we actually knew were very mean...:(, then last year you had to pay to get a good view.....this year view looks good, have not read their chat yet
The word "dissipate" used to be one of mine and Donna's favorite words. We used it a lot, even when it made no sense!! :)
I had to use my spell-check for that one:)
Woods Hole opsrey nest has an egg, think I read that
Good morning! Whoa, when did Hidey get so big? He/she is growing too fast!
Nope, Norma, no sub at OK this morning. Looks like it is windy there again. You can not believe the wind that was there last Sunday morning. I had to brace myself on the van to stand up!
Norma, there is a picture of Jack on my blog. You know I have to take pictures of my Jubby!!
Where is the APP-ART nest, Mits? Not familiar with it.
HEY!---You MOUNTAINEERS should take a drive this weekend!!---The RED BUD & DOGWOOD TREES ARE just AWESOME!-----I know I said that earlier this am---but it is truly a beautiful sight!!!---(ONLY HAPPENS ONCE A YEAR)!!-----ho!
Adult eagle at OK is rocking in the wind. Looks like a "bad feather day" there!
can't remember, Lynn, think it is Washington or Oregon...I'll check their site, went thru Beakspeake to get it....
Hey Norma, have already traveled to east Texas for the Dogwoods and my many redbuds are already leafed out. Beat you!!!!! :)
A little cloudy here today. Rain is supposed to start possibly this evening and all of next week it is supposed to rain. PTL!!!!!
Paula....tech questions re: photos...on the Netbook, can I put all the pics I have downloaded onto a flashdrive and then put onto PC? ON PC, can I transfer folders of photos onto a disc and then delete from Picasa (and then just use disc to view them in future)? Do I just use a CD-R disc or do I have to have another kind?
MORNIN' LOLLY!---Yes!---I can believe how windy it was at OK!!---We could see how swift the water was----that's why we were so worried about you all!!!----THANKS for the PIC!----HANDSOME KID!!---ISN'T HE?----ho!
Is the baby smurf cam up?
Mits, when you say people you knew were mean at APP-ART...do you mean folks from OUR group??? Or frequent posters on other chats that you all knew?
former blog people, Lynn
Ct nest is having problems, Sharon.
What's the smurf cam, Shar? You all are pulling new ones on me!!! LOL!
I hate to leave such grand company, but it is time for me to walk/excercise. My jubby is pressuring me to get my morning in action. I am so s-l-o-w moving in the morning and that is the way I want to be!!! Sigh.....need to get up earlier.
Bye.......BBL
Hedgie - Answer to tech questions....all yes...you've got it exactly right
Although, everytime I bring up Picasa, it scans for new photos...you may want to change that option if you are just going to keep them on the CD
Big Boat getting ready to go past right to left at Finney's Water
Hedgie - when we found app art a couple of years ago...the people making comments on their chat/blog were nasty to everyone...It may be different now...haven't checked it lately
Looks like Belle was covering Hidey, but she's gone now...
Hey Margy...
Late morning starts are what retirement is all about, Lolly!!
I am thinking it was the CT Osprey cam? They had brought a blue teddy bear in the nest so I called the baby, "Baby Smurf". One of the hurricanes blew the bear out of the nest but the baby had already fledged. He would stand on that bear, lay on it.
* Hi Paula and Everyone Else *
The White stork was just up and there are surely two white eggs on the nest. Sound is pretty bad on that cam, like there us a short circuit or something in it.
White Stork Nest, Germany
Deb hope you didn't have to call in a plumber, but Norma might have the name for a good one from last summer if you need to ☺
Hope everyone has a good day, and that we see Mema back on here soon.
I've pretty much coughed my brains out the last couple of days so anything else I try to say probably won't make much sense.
xoxo TTFN
LATER---lunch date---
Well, I found the site but it says no video so it must not be on yet.
it has been on ,Sharon , but is broken again...
Ok, so I am a little behind times! :)
Mei Xiang is laying in the cool grass
never mind she is on the move
I also was wondering the other day if they ever located Freida and Frodo? Does anybody know?
yes they went to another building down under.....have to wait till end of our summer to see them again, I guess
playtime in Atlanta
Saw the coolest thing this morning on my elementary bus run. Mature bald eagle caught a rabbit in a field and headed to the nest. Pointed the eagle out to the kids but didn't mention the rabbit (LOL). Now I gotta go over in my truck with binocs and try to find the nest.
Thanks, Paula!! Netbook keeps saying that memory is low (think it defrags whenever it says it because it says it is restoring memory or something like that!)--and I know pics use a lot. And don't what to bog down PC with alot...I have about 4 yrs. of pics on it!
So why do people have to be so nasty? Makes no sense....can't all just get along?? Peace on Earth!
MARGY...you're up and about...how are you feeling today??
Tai Shan is eating among the spring blossoms
driver lady, is that the NCTC nest you are talking about:)?
Welcome, driverlady! What a cool vision, huh? Where are you located?
Margy, are you taking a good cough medicine? Can imagine how you feel like holding your head together when you cough that much...been there!...and oh, the headache!
Just heard that Texas is the worst place for hair!!! (humidity=bad hair day) Never thought that TX was particularly humid except along the coast! Have things changed since I was there in '68???
Sharon Your flicker avatar is a beauty, been meaning to tell you !
Hedgie up, but not about.
going back to the pillows soon.
I'm sure the medicine is working, just slowly
xo
** GOOD MORNING **
** TO EVERYONE **
jIM
Hi, Jim.
Sorry to hear that, Margy...but bed is the best place to be. You have to work this weekend, right?
Those Duke Farm babies are sooo cute
DUKE FARM EAGLETS
Is that Hugo's nest?
Hugo was the stork that died in Germany.
Wow, Hidey looks HUGE and I mean huge today! Just did some wingersizes...and he's up in the nest...looks as tall as an adult today!
Hidey is 6 weeks old tomorrow!
Lots more wing flapping!
Moving some fluff, and walking around the nest...learning how to balance better...
All the fluff, but for one small feather is gone from the top of Hidey's head!
Paula, that white spot reminded me of Baby Littley's white spot last year.
Xi Lan is nursing Mom now... in the hammock.
Jim
ZZ is asleep up in the top of one of her "trees."
Jim
Hidey just nodded right out onto her face. That was so funny.
I am new to this site and really enjoy the Eagles and see that you talk about other cam. can you tell me where I can find them?
A bald eagle nest located along the Potomac River is the focus of this live Web cam maintained by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The nest at Shepherdstown, W.Va., is on the grounds of the USFWS National Conservation Training Center, on the historic river upstream from Washington, D.C. The nest has been active now for four seasons, fledging several juvenile bald eagles. A large international community viewing the bald eagle Web cam has developed as a result of the presence of the nesting pair. Eagle cam fans are currently celebrating the hatching of a new eaglet. Check the cam regularly and see what’s for dinner and how the new family is fairing.
incoming
whole family
and a fish
my pop-up cam is not working
Dragon, there are other cams listed at beakspeak.com. Welcome.
Hidey is working on that fish all by himself.
Thanks hedgie, my kids love this one so I'm sure they will love the others aswell.
Dragon, where are you located? Are there any nests in your area?
Florida, lot's of osprey nest but I don't know of any Eagle. I'm sure there are some I just don't know where.
There used to be one in Port St. Lucie (where my mom used to live) but it's no longer an active nest. Not sure if there's any others or not.
Florida has the second highest population of eagles, behind Alaska
There is/was one in Tesoro (listed as Audubon on beakspeak), but it no longer has a cam due to lack of funding.
They like to nest near water, as they prefer fish
Indoor chores done...now to head outside and do more work! BBL.
both osprey BWO
Well, the male grosbeak finally found me!! YEAH!! But the ants have found my hummingbird feeder! ARGH!
Portland RTH are in view
now the adult RTH is there watching the little ones
no osprey at Finney's or Finland nest as the sun sets
Sharon--
I learned recently that ants, which smell and taste with organs on their feet, will not walk on a greasy or oily surface.
So, I've been using old Crisco (with transfat) or Vaseline at the contact points between my feeders and the hanging or mounting devices, and I've had zero ants on the feeders.
If you're just hanging them by a wire, put a band all the way around the wire someplace, and that will keep them off too.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
the lovely Mei Xiang is asleep in the birthing den
think Hidey thinks she can fly.
Osprey laying down again at BWO
And from BWE...
04/24/09:
We've chosen our two winners in the Eaglet-Naming Contest, and once we contact them, we'll make a formal announcement.
Look at Hidey standing at the back of the nest....no doubt you can see him over the edge from the ground.
Jim, my hummingbird feeder is actually attached to a suction cup on the window. I have tried Vaseline before and they just went right over it.
It would be kind of hard to put Crisco on my window! :) Although, I know that Crisco is the very best!
lol....industrial strength ants.....must have put their booties on Sharon
Can't wait to see Hidey start getting some air!!
its the only kind I use, or used to use.....not much frying going on in this house:(
Spray the suckers...
My Crisco looks really old and nasty! I think I need some new stuff!
Guess I should chuck it, huh?
yeah spray them with Windex, no ants and you will have clean windows;)
sure it has a long shelf life, but if it looks nasty, chuck it.
Well, I can't get my popup cam to work. It is just showing part of the main web page and I can hear the sound.
I am hoping this Crisco has a really long shelf life! ☺ ☺ ☺
I think I did pitch it...need to buy a small container, just to have on hand!
I think Hidey is watching the flies at his feet!
yes, my pop-up has not been working all day...
Osprey still laying in the BWO nest
I don't use the pop up, but I tried it to check it out...all I get is the upper left hand corner of the cam page....not the cam itself...except for a tiny sliver of it along the bottom of the pop up window.
Well, you can go to the edge and stretch the box where it shows the whole page but that is kind of useless.
It is still up on my laptop because I have had it up since yesterday.
Osprey still laying in BWO nest....hmmmm
Looks Like Belle dropped in!
Hmmm, wonder if that was a switch at BWO???
Hmmm think that's Lib
I see an egg at BWO!!!
Both at BWO....Lib is digging into the fish....Hidey is eyeing it...
Hidey is getting fed by Lib
I was thinking that was Belle.
Hidey is done eating...he wiped his beak like a good little eaglet!
Lib is finishing up the tail now...
BWO egg pic on the EM blog
Think Lib went up into the tree
I think that's Mom on the BWO egg now....Dad keeps popping in and out...
Seemed smaller and lighter than Belle, Sharon. And the beak looked in much better shape, too.
Egg turning at BWO
More egg turning...hard to see it...it's in the birds shadow
did you send the pic to Lisa, Paula:)?
Yuppers...
She finally knows....
Hey, she got the BWO page updated!
04/24/09:
Egg Alert!
We have our first egg of 2009! We could see one or two more, normally coming about three days apart.
It wasn't my pic....but you can see it clearer in the one she posted on the webpage.
Catch ya'll later!
just called Suzanne to let her know of the egg at BWO....I could hear her SMILE:)
Great news about BWO.
WooHoo, an egg at BWO. I just got home, need to catch up!
Great news for BWO!!! Paula, bet you were the first to see! Lisa must be on top of the world.
Wood pile is moved, but still need to clean up the mess! Patio lights in garden cleaned and bulbs replaced. Dead flower heads cut. I'm done for today!
Hidey is doing his wingersizes...getting dinner appetite ready!
SPLIT COMING SOON:)
Windy at the nest. Hidey watching for mom or dad.
