normabyrd said...

SISSY!---Just heard that 'GREAT' forecast!----Don't think we are going to get it her in this area!!

magpie said...

Can hear those gentle raindrops falling at our nest....could just put me back to sleep ☺ ...NOT !

magpie said...

Norma

did you see the pictures of the Osprey at Finney Water Nest ?

magpie said...

Oh, excuse my manners:

Hello Eagle ♀ and ♂ Pals ! ♥

magpie said...

Lady Belle is starting to spread out the Big Tent !

magpie said...

Osprey is at Finney Water now, has been in and out and in and out throught the morning, she is trying to clean up that nest !

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' MAGPIE!!!----WHOA---You certainly have a way with words!----ho!--

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I saw the sea eagle at Finney earlier. Don't they fight? I am sure they don't share a nest, do they?

normabyrd said...

SISSY!---Stop & think----they never seem to get our forecasts right----

magpie said...

Ha! Osprey is kicking out stuff she does not like in that nest !

normabyrd said...

MARGY---I must have missed them---but SUZANNE always saves them for me!---She loves that site!!!

normabyrd said...

NORFOLK site is black!

magpie said...

Sissy -

Mits will have a good report...I believe she has told us that the Osprey "kicked the Sea Eagles out of the nest" last year....

I am pretty new to watching, so More to Be Revealed..." - I didn't see where any reports of the Sea Eagles has been posted since the Osprey showed up Sunday, but I might have missed something...but you saw them this morning already? I missed it!

Norma: I will send you a couple of pics from Sunday morning on the Eaglet email....had sent one out Sunday morning and you can click on the Magpies Roost link on my profile page and see three...☺

magpie said...

See what I mean, though, re the Osprey? In and out and in and out...

magpie said...

There is our second adult, and baby is peeping ! ☺

magpie said...

oops, one left

magpie said...

Nice Fish! Here comes breakfast !

magpie said...

Gobbler at Pix Pa...

magpie said...

Well there's our Poop Shoot, making room for more intake

magpie said...

2nd adult is back our nest

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Looks like they are preparing for some weather with all that fluff!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Whatever that was, she just carried it out of the nest. I think I am glad!

magpie said...

Lady Falcon at Harrisburg roosting on eggs....

magpie said...

and Lady Osprey back at Finney Water

magpie said...

Yah, Sissy - think it was the "expiration date " ☺

magpie said...

By the way, I finally saw the Beaver at Swinging Bridge! Missed a perfect photo opportunity, though...just as I saw him, he saw me, and Smack! Tail on the water he submerged and I never saw him again!

normabyrd said...

Thanks MARGY for the OSPREY pics at the FINNEY WATER NEST!!----That little OSPREY needs a 'SHRINK'---

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Nice fish!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I can handle fish alot better than varmits! It gets tough sometimes watching them plucking and stuff! I reckon I am just a weiner!!

She just moved a tree!

magpie said...

Plenty of food in the pantry today.

Yes, Sissy, watching the feathers and fur fly can be quite an experience!

Norma, little lady Osprey cannot make up her mind! Wonder what she does when she disappears for a few minutes then comes back....

magpie said...

I hear a red-bellied and a titmouse at NCTC -
whooops never mind the titmouse is here in my neighborhood !

normabyrd said...

WHOA!---I was wrong!!---I think the OSPREY at the FINNEY WATER NEST has found a HOME!!---ho!

normabyrd said...

The NORFOLK 'REBELS' are all snuggled together sleeping in the nest!!---aaaaw!

normabyrd said...

BWO in nest!---

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Sun is barely starting to rise at Hornby Island. That white head just glows in the dawn!

magpie said...

See that Norma....

Two, then one -

magpie said...

And one back at Finney Water...

and all things relaxed at our nest

normabyrd said...

LISA thinks there are 3 OSPREYS competing for the nest & a mate!---
WOW!!!

magpie said...

It's time for me to get to my list of "other" things to do...

It's 9:11....
Prayers for the memory of those lost and the survivors, and all working to keep it from happening again.

Good Day Wishes to all, and Best wishes to Mema at her doctor's visit.

xo ♥ ☺

Bob Quinn said...

Norma - I was at BW yesterday. I agree with Lisa. To me, it looked like there is a couple and an extra female. I hope the second female doesn't persist like last year. As Lisa mentioned, the male has some brown coloring on the neck so it is definitely not the same male as last year. I did see them mate while I was there. Photos to follow tonight or tomorrow.

deb said...

HP at BWO

deb said...

That Osprey at Finland Water nest has very beautiful and distinctive markings.

Got that right, Norma....aren't the sounds from that nest fascinating?
I am catching up on family emails so I cannot resist checking a few sites between emails

I am just incorrigible....
can't help myself !

Osprey at BWO with a fish.

Lolly said...

Good morning! Winter has returned. 42 here presently with sunshine and WIND, possible freeze tonight! Moan!!!!

Worked all weekend in the yard, but this morning I am taking it easy.

Hidey looks to be all alone with a fish! Belle and Lib have it easy feeding one little eaglet.

Deb, sorry about the snow. Yuk! I love it when it snows here IN THE WINTER, but sure would not want it now. We had no snow this winter. I am originally from south Texas and never saw snow until I was a freshman in college.

Mits said...

update from DUKE FARM NEST.....

Update: A chick was seen in the nest on Monday morning, April 6

920 viewers at this time.

paula eagleholic said...

MOrning, all!

What is that long dark thing in the nest...just to the left of center?

Mits said...

TAI SHAN is up a tree:)

normabyrd said...

awww!---There's the BABY!---SISSY!

Mits said...

don't know Paula, it has been there for a few days

Lolly said...

That's a fish, Paula. Looked more like a fish a few minutes ago. Now it looks strange.

Lolly said...

Mits, did Belle fly off with the fish?

Mits said...

I just turned cam on a few minutes ago, and i have only seen Hidey in the nest this a.m.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' PAULA!!---How are you this am---SUNSHINE?

paula eagleholic said...

OH, cool. More eaglets!

paula eagleholic said...

Trying my best, Norma!

Wonder if that is some sort of pike?

paula eagleholic said...

Adult our nest!

Lolly said...

When I first got on a short time ago, Belle was there with a nice fish.

Mits said...

I was thinking eel?

Mits said...

osprey at BWO

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning to all my friends of fine feathers and fur!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Eating time again at our nest!

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, could be a pickerel or catfish...have to keep looking.

Breakfast at the back of the nest.

Wow, look how big Hidey is!

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey eating pretty good size pieces of food.

Some for parent, some for Hidey.

Lolly said...

You have to have good eyes to spot that Osprey at BW. He blends in with the background.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' LOLLY!!!---Now you can just lie back & enjoy looking at beautiful estate!!!----We have a 55° temp----but our skies are grey!!----Had rain earlier this am!---Tomorrow will be much colder!!----

paula eagleholic said...

Possibly eel...

I am having trouble deciding which end is/was the head.

Lolly said...

You know Norma, I can not lie back for long. We sit down in the evenings or walk around, but I really enjoy the working in the yard part. There is always something to be done!

Lolly said...

Poop shoot. LOL Hidey really has difficulty getting into that position.

NatureNut said...

Hi Everyone!! Wow, that was a poop shoot!! More breakfast going in & coming out!☺
Paula, that might be a log in the nest. Saw one come in yesterday, but don't know if that's it.

normabyrd said...

LOLLY---BWO has been having trouble with the OSPREYS at that site!!---LISA says there are 3 OSPREYS fighting over the site!!
BOB QUINN checked in earlier this am --- & he agrees with LISA!---He also promised to send us photos---either this evening or tomorrow!!!

Good morning all. Been lurking while doing my AM chores and such. Quarterly Drs. apptmt. today and then to Charles Town for some daughter time.
I was wondering if that was an eel in our nest, too!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' NATURENUT!----The 'LIL' ONE was really practicing his AIM this am!!----He's getting better!

magpie said...

paula eagleholic said...

Could be a walleye, also.

magpie said...

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning All & I do mean ALL
Everyone here this am is such a welcome sight to a late signer-inner!
Getting my gears in order and will head out to surgeon this pm.

Yepper! I love our Live Feed!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yeah, Red, good to see ya. New cam site is awesome, ain't it?

normabyrd said...

I agree with NATUENUT!---I'm not sure it is a FISH in the nest!----But if it is a fish----my guess would be a GAR FISH----It is a long slim fish---& are found in WV--

magpie said...

Great story in local rag about "Easter Egg" Hunt at the local Yankauer Nature Preserve, hosted by the Potomac Valley Audubon Society. The eggs were decorated to resemble actual bird eggs, and they were placed in such a way to challenge the children to find them in hatural habitat and learn more about the Birds' habits.

MORNIN' SHARON!---Sorry---missed you earlier!!

Lolly said...

Large fish delivery at OK!

Mema Jo said...

Checking out your private Blog sites - Amazing what you have on them..
Loretta - I love the descriptions you give each photo - helps educate me!
I also found a new one on Megan's page -
'Flowers' Beautiful work for someone who lives in the GH!
I can't get over how many species that Deb finds for us to see! Deb & Paula's & Glo's video clips are the best! And did I mention that I also love Wanda's SMILES and Margie's Sea Eagles!
I'm sure I am missing mentioning someone but I just think we have quite a lot to tell just by a click on a name!

deb said...

Buddy's beak trim was moved up to April 1st.

The eagle’s beak was now so long that it would not fit under the upper beak. The eagle is compensating by twisting the lower jaw to the left, so that the upper and lower beak will unite. To correct this problem, the eagle was brought to the hospital on the morning of April 1 and anesthestized with Sevoflurane. Approximately 5 mm were taken off the tip, and 1-2 mm off of the left side, of the lower beak. After approximately 15 minutes the eagle woke up without complications.

Buddy pictures

Lolly said...

Sidney cam is really noisy!

normabyrd said...

MARGY!---What a GREAT FIND!---Yesterday I remarked how beautiful the OSPREY EGGS are---Bird eggs are beautiful---GREAT EASTER EGGS

Deb - thanks for the Buddy update.....wouldn't the Norfolk Eagle parents be so appreciative of what has been done for their little one...if they could only know....
xo

paula eagleholic said...

CT osprey nest cam back on...still pointing down into the nest...I wonder if they are going to attempt to straighten it out?

Costume Lady said...

There was a Tornado warning in the Norfolk area earlier and has moved on down into North Carolina...look out CANDY! I think the Little Rebels are safe:)

Costume Lady said...

Jo was speaking of "Three's a Crowd"...check out my SMILES:):) cartoon for today.

NatureNut said...

Hidey just hid! Sounds like raindrops.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like rain at our nest...parent tening...

paula eagleholic said...

make that TENTING!

paula eagleholic said...

Have not seen a chick at PH all morning. No attempts at feeding. I did see it moving last night. Not looking good for the first chicklet.

paula eagleholic said...

Rain must be over...parent on the back of the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Parent took off the back as I posted...

And another nice poop shoot!

NatureNut said...

Mom left nest & Hidey did another poop shoot right at the camera!

NatureNut said...

Big fish brought in!

deb said...

Big fish delivery

paula eagleholic said...

Nice landing from Lib into the nest with some fresh fish for lunch!!

Mits said...

nice big fish

paula eagleholic said...

Fresh fish for Hidey!!

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey is gobbling down that fish like there's no tomorrow!

paula eagleholic said...

Osprey at BWO

Parent at BWE - looks wet and still trying to shield eaglets from the rain.

paula eagleholic said...

Parent just arrived on the back!

deb said...

Both

paula eagleholic said...

Parent took off a while ago...think the feeding is over!

paula eagleholic said...

Time for Lib to dig in the bowl.

Look at that huge crop on Hidey! Looks like a baseball!

NatureNut said...

Got the final set of pics on Blog---the ospreys.
Now I get to do some chores & go to grocery!
BBL

Mits said...

off to Oriole opener...bbl

deb said...

Have fun at the game.

deb said...

eagle arrived in our nest.

Lolly said...

Wanda...enjoyed the Smile for today!

paula eagleholic said...

Have fun Mits and Ceil. Hope the game doesn't get rained out...and if it does rain, hope you don't get too wet!

paula eagleholic said...

CT osprey have their first egg!

deb said...

Both our nest

paula eagleholic said...

Nice arrival from the back by Belle...sure wish I had video running.

Mema Jo said...

Just returning and see that OKLA has both cams up/running. The NBG eagle is drenched and what a huge fish in our nest! I tuned in on the AEF cam-they have 1 egg and it is being incubated now. The other day both adults were there but neither one was on the egg.
I can't find on the site any update of the 2009 season.

Mema Jo said...

Surgeon gave me a cane for INDOOR USE, but I still need to use the walker for OUTDOOR USE for 3 more weeks.
He said the bone is knitting well and he is pleased with my progress. The swelling in foot area will last but diminish within the year. He doesn't feel I need Outpatient Therapy. I still have exercises to do daily.

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is riding the wind on the back of the nest at the non position..Hidey is dug down in the bowl...I'm sure he's too heavy w/ food to get blown away!

And just as I finished typing, Belle goes over to the dark fish and starts eating it...the tail is at 6ish...it's def a fish!

paula eagleholic said...

Sounds like you are mending well, Jo. Glad you got such a good report.

Hidey is watching Belle devour that fish! She is making quick work of it!

magpie said...

Just who would we call if that little tyke WOULD get blown out of the nest....

Dont like to even think about it...but maybe....it would be good to know, including after hours....

Just getting caught up on comments, see that Jo has a report..back in a few....

paula eagleholic said...

Kool exit by Belle, just flew off from 8ish...across the landing pad and gone..into the wind.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like another hunk of fish or that darned corncob just to the right of Hidey's head.

magpie said...

Sounds good, Mema JO - hope you are pleased with the report.

My neighbor lady has a walker that she needed after Christmas but now it is collecting dust. Maybe I should borrow it and we can tool around your neighborhood together.... ☺

paula eagleholic said...

Sunshine, finally, at BWE and BWO

magpie said...

Paula....

could you send me the info for the Ct Osprey nest please? I had it last year but it is expired...I have a brother in CT and he is interested also.
Thanks in advance, no hurry ☺

magpie said...

So cute, when the babies imitate the adults, moving fluff, bet baby learned that best from Liberty! Guess Baby is imitating being Brave now too.

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey was looking up, then it looked like parent dropped down from up above....grabbed a hunk of fluff from the back and put it next to Hidey...acutally kind of looked like the remains of that squirrel!

deb said...

Jo, glad the doctor is happy with how your leg is healing. Eagle, my still is ahead of live again.

magpie said...

Okay I don't know whether to refer to the Eaglet as He or She....

what a dilemma.....any suggestions....?

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, Belle has a stash of fluff back there...she's trying to cover him up...but he's back up again now!

deb said...

I was recording part of that and the parent stepped on Hidey's talon.

magpie said...

Precious, Partners Against the Wind !

magpie said...

I think Belle likes to control the flotsam and jetsam that is going to fly around in the wind, battening down the hatches so to speak...

Costume Lady said...

Hidey is absolutly BUTT HEAVY, CAN'T CONTROL THAT END OF THE BODY:)
