«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 372 of 372I have lost track of Hidey's age. Was it three weeks last Friday? Someone know?
I'd love to compare Hidey with our chicks from last year, at this time, to see the difference (if any) in their sizes. She/He seems enormous. Feet are so big, might it indicate it is a female?
Saturday Afternoon, March 14, Wanda.....
☺ Welcome back, we lost you for a few hours !
Put a couple of Braving the Wind together pics on Magpie's Roost, going to add them to the Momsters album shortly
I'm trying to figure out whether to call him or her, him or her also, Wanda....
Tough reports coming out of Italy, regarding their earthquake. Epicenter was 60 miles east of Rome, heavy loss of life and destruction.
Prayers for those people... and the rescuers...
Can't get on the Momsters albums...says error 999 - high traffic on the Yahoo network I suppose...
NatureNut has two sets of great new photos, eagles and Osprey...
Back to "work" for me....haven't chipped much off my list except a few emails, some camming, and a nap!
TTFN xoxo
Margy, these earthquakes disturb me so much that I try to avoid the details. Years ago, when there was an earthquake in Mexico, and all those babies were lost, I couldn't cope with reading about it. It's like it scared my mind and that is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear EARTHQUAKE! Such a terrible thing to happen and nothing can be done to stop it. I guess when we are so far away, all we cam do is pray!
Wanda - Chick is 3 weeks old this past Saturday. The Size of the feet aren't an indicator at this point...they all have huge feetsies at this age.
They do however measure the back portion of the foot/leg as an indicator of male/female, along with beak measurements. They are accurate most of the time, but have to be done after 8 weeks of age when the chick as reached it's full size.
I understand Wanda...
I can't bear to think about the police officer tragedies either.
One, a natural disaster, the other, an unnatural disaster.
Praying brings the only relief in both cases.
xo
Hidey does have BIG feet...at least a size 12:)
Enjoying my 3:00 cup of coffee an hour late... Opening day at Oriole Park is on TV - Quite a showing! Mits & Ceil should be loving it! Very colorful! Many many color guards - Must go Stand..
hA ! My cable went down for a couple of hours...had to shut everything down and wait. It finally reset and connected again.
Anyway, you might not be aware of updates on the "Buddy" and the Loch Garten sites.
And earlier this morning, after reading the blogs, etc., it appeared that PH's 3-day-old chick has not been accepting food, and everybody was worried that it might not make it.
It has appeared strong through yesterday, just feeding on its yoke sack, but it should be feeding soon .....
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
The family that disappeared has been found. The parents turned themselves in. Husband under arrest, wife is being held on a detainer.
Glad to hear all are safe...
hope there is a good safety network for the children..
Deb, thanks
It appears the PH first chick has not survived. It has not been seen today and there haven't been any attempted feedings.
Cross your fingers that egg #2 hatches...today is day 37.
Wow, that's some fish Liberty brought in for the family.
Both Panda sites seem to be functioning normally, if unexcitingly, today.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
I hope so, too, Margy, but they didn't mention the kids in any of the articles here. Hope they are with family and not Child Services, they must be pretty upset.
Margy, you have mail!
Guess they finally came to their senses. Poor kids.
Yes, hope with family or some really special foster parents that can keep both children together.
Always had a dream to do that...
Tough news out of Pelican Harbor...
but thanks for the updates, no sense not knowing what is going on :(
first time viewing eagles, great site,
Welcome northof49 up there in Canada
Really good to have you join us
Well, northof49, you have picked a good week to start watching...our new cam is top notch! and our Eagle family has always been top notch !
North of 49 - as in, north of the 49 states with Alaska being More North?
Welcome ☺
Welcome northof49!! We kind of like this site too! :)
We're pretty chatty on here! Our Momsters Dads will be glad to have another Dadster on board !
We have so much to share with you.
Or maybe that is north of the 49th parallel....not too sure of my geography these days ☺ Been out of school too long but I think I can scare up a Geography book !
Well, I just went out to fill up my bird feeders and am now officially froze to death! It is so cold out there, snowing . . .
And when is spring??????
Hey there Double E-S - !
didn't mean to forget my manners a little while ago. Wish I could have feeders and fill them....
You know, my squirrel problem....
:(
Oh that was Rich! A poop shoot swirling in the wind ~
Go Hidey ! ☺
Great site at Connecticut Paula, sent it to my brother, asked him to let me know how close he is to it.
Thank you !
Safe travels home.....watch the breezes..." both hands on the wheel, eyes locked on the road," as my grandson says when we are out together.... ☺ ♥
Right now I have yellow finches, white-throated sparrows, cardinals, house sparrows, mourning doves eating out here and by teh time I publish this, there will probably be a couple other kinds. My finches are in various stages of getting more yellow.
Looks like Hidey is sucking on parent's talons...maybe there is some fish juice on there ☺
Okay, I', disappearing into some tasks now.
TTFN xoxo
I could safely hang a finch seed feeder, have in the past, and got those Gold Finches and House Finches, Sharon... think I will try that ...
Happy Bird Watching ! xo
Hidey is working on some nestorations!
LOL Margy, maybe Hidey was sharpening his beak!
And it doesn't matter if you call our chick a guy or a gal...could be either!
thanks everyone for the welcome, i do live in canada, on the shore of lake superior in northern ont. we have three pairs of bald eagles near here,,,
Welcome Northof49....
How cool is that!
And now I have chipping sparrows and juncos. I so love my birds. I will be glad when this weather breaks though. This is nuts.
Belle fed a good bit of yesterday's dark fish to Hidey, and is having some now, too...looks like all that is left is the head :0
Fish juice, that sounds so appetizing! :)
I see your snowflakes on your cam, Sharon
I have not had but a few drops of rain here in the valley today.
Parent in nest with Hidey
Both eagles, now.
I'm off to dinner time
BBL
Ha Ha power of suggestion, Jo
dinner time at Eagle Roost, dinner time at YOUR Roost ☺
Almost looked like one bird was asking the other: Do you need a break? You can go first if you want to....
Three pairs or Bald Eagles, northof49 - you got our attention on that one !
That wind makes for some lively poop shoots! That is too funny!
Team tagging against the wind, shift change coming up I guess
I think the wind makes them more hungry..
Belle seemed worried about her spouse taking off into the wind...
That fish must be delicious, and she is taking care of Hidey....
Great viewing here, but I have to go work on something...
See you all later...☺ xo
That baby must feel so loved !
Two parents...again...setting up for the night...
ROFLMBO !!
Hidey does NOT want to be under the Fluff - Came right up out of there
"okay - I'm leaving, and taking a little snack with me, see you later, Honey..."
Camoholism...there is no cure ...
Okay, Mema Jo, we're loading up the New Album with lots of pictures! 45 so far...several contributors ....
Getting a lot of those "999" errors thought but I got all mine in for today so far.
Okay, bye, really, I mean it...bye.
Is that the sun shining on our nest??????
Mr. and Mrs. Towhee, titmouse and chickadees to add to my list now.
NBG eaglets are all alone!
3 little bobble heads!
OKLA Nest - adult just arrived with fish
Both eagles in nest
BOY THAT Eaglet is sure growing!!! And ready to eat!
I only see one eaglet - I thought there were more eggs..... Can't keep up with these nests!
ME nest has one drenched adult eagle incubating egg
Our skies are cloudy but it is still light out. Guess our night light will come on soon though.
Has it stopped snowing in Bluefield, Sharon?
Sharon, we saw our first TOWHEE this morning, but he disappeared and hasn't come back:(
Miss Jo, did your doctor have any comments on your taking a Road Trip?
Only one of the three eggs in OK hatched, Jo. :(
Thanks Deb - I lost count.
The eaglet is really large and looks as though he/she is going to jump in on that fish if it doesn't get fed soon.
lol
Wanda - Didn't really ask him direct about the trip.... I think it is going to be up to me! I'll be in touch!
Try to tell me an estimated overall time for the trip. WHoo Hoo
WELCOME TO OUR BLOG Northof49! I think you are our first Canadian to join us. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Going to catch some news
BBL
Jo, just a guess: 2 hour to get there, 2 hour visit and 2 hours traveling back home. We will have sandwiches and snacks and drinks for everyone, so we won't have to find a place to eat. Now if someone knows of a fabulous restaurant on our way and wants to stop, we can do that.
Jo, we will accomodate you in every way we can. You can even take a Panda Nap in the EE if you want!
Mema Jo, we have a fine snow falling right now. We just got a winter weather advisory for 2-4 inches in the higher elevations. Never know if we are higher elevations and never know where the western facing slopes are.
Wow, that was some major fight with a stick!, still working on it.
I am back - watching our nest where a
very long stick is trying to be moved by the adult! It is going to whack Hidey if he/she doesn't stay down in that egg well
Trying to settle down over Hidey is like putting a square peg into a round hole!
Jo, Gene said to tell you that we have electricity (generator) in the motor home if you need it:)
Jo, how does Ed get your X-Rays? I had my head X-Rayed a few years ago and would love to have it so as to prove I have a brain;) I guess, you just ask.
Evening All in Eagleland ( :
Comcast just left and I have a new modem.
Xray's huh Wanda...if it was like say City Hospital. Just go out there to the medical records. File out a form and they will call you or tell you when to come back to get them, it will also have the report with it. I think you need the date or year they can possibly look it up.
Wanda I haven't read all of comments yet but Middy was hatched on March 14th last year. Our 2nd eaglet.
THANKS, DANA...I never knew you could do that. I have to take GeeGee to the hospital Wednesday for her Carotid Ultrasound, so I will ask then.
Got her report back today on her Echocardiogram...A OK!
Middy has the same birthday as Hidey:)
I was going through papers here at my desk today, and found Hidey's birthday information. I couldn't remember. Now I will have to try to find a photo or two of Middy.
Nice flyin by parent with a stick.
Great news on ECHO for GeeGee still prayers.
I see both in nest with night light on.
Glad Hidey is holding still!!
Wonder what Lib just flew out with in his beak?
I think maybe Hidey is getting a little common sense. It is 47° and very windy, so she is staying put:)
I would think with the wind blowing like it is up there. It would be cold enough for chick to stay under Belle.
I see we had a nice visitor from Canada. Welcome northof49 hope he comes back to visit more often.
He can share information on his 3 pair of eagle maybe with us...awee 3 pair.
Sorry to hear about PH chick hope that 2nd egg does hatch Paula.
Will have to try to catch update on Buddy and Loch Garten.
Wanda - I have my x-rays at the CRA lab and they will give me my film before I leave. I always need the Lung CT to take to the pulmonary Dr.
However! When I was in the hospital for the leg they did the Lung CT there as I was due for one and it was more convenient to go ahead & have them do it.
My pulmonary Dr has access to their network so he looked at them right there and then! I may start going to the hosp as I just hate lugging those large x-ray sheets!
I see Bob was at BWO and seen mating of the usual lady and the new boy. Hope that
Monica Osprey leaves the pair alone so they can have eggs and chicks this year. Be nice I always love his pictures.
Oh boy CT Osprey Kidd and Lola have their 1st egg I have just read on earlier comments this AM. ( : I too hope they can get the cam regulated.
Both Osprey are at BWO still.
That should be a good sign.... unless it is the 2 females waiting for the male to fly in.
Did you watch the video clip Lisa has up on the page........
I did watch it, it was a good video. I can't remember what time the cam shuts down for the night now.
Really windy up at the nest - out in my back yard also.
14 mph wind gust at the nest and it is
45.9° Reads as though the wind will be there all week......
BWE & BWO should both shut down at 11pm
Female osprey at WW.
She is really a beauty! I like the angle
of the cam's view this season.
Mema Jo so happy your leg is coming along very good ( :
Is there only 1 osprey at BWO platform now. I mistook the weed blowing in the wind for an osprey earlier I think.
I was just sitting here laughing because the second Osprey was a weed. I see you already found that out!
Hi Dana - It really was remarkable what they did to my old body to keep it
up/running! lol
With my cane in one hand and the oxygen cylinder in the other - I am Out The Door
Hey Deb! You think we need a break! lol
Adult eagle in the nest with BWEaglets
Going to get my low-carb snack!!!
No ice cream or chocolate chip cookies for me!
It's funny how part of that weed looks like a beak. Finally noticed that it never moved! I thought it was strange that both Osprey were in the nest at night.
I also thought when I brought up BWO that was 2 osprey lol
Jo what is the low carb snack you are having?
HI brings you up close and personal with a bald eagle!
I just recently started enjoying the live video of the eagles. Fascinating! However, I was stunned that you light up the nest at night. The eagles deserve to experience the darkness of the night sky, as well as the light of the moon and stars, unencumbered by artificial light.
The eagles do not see the light.
Welcome, Musky. The eagles do not see the light, it is infrared.
The light is INFARED. Cannot be seen by the Eagle Family. We have the utmost respect for our feathered friends and would do nothing to harm or hinder them.
Sorry...INFRARED.
Dana - it is 5 small wheat crackers with cheddar cheese with bacon gonked on them! I'm allowed 15 carbs.
Muskie It is an infrared light and it's correct that the eagles cannot see any light. Check out this cam -
BlackWater Eagle Nest
Hooray for Jo! Healing & getting better every day!
Cooked an easy but time consuming dinner, watched some TV & BBall w/ NC & Mich just started at 9PM.
Hope all good little eaglets are fast asleep ☺
Hope you Bluefield ladies aren't getting much snow. We will get freezing tonight, but no more precip.
Sorry me too ...INFRARED
Glad you joined in with us Muskie
Still one osprey at BWO. That's encouraging--maybe spending the night & claiming the nest! :>
News Release: FRESNO, Calif. -- Federal officials confirm they found traces of salmonella in a central California pistachio processing plant that sparked a nationwide recall of the nut. The plant temporarily shut down after recalling more than 2 million pounds of nuts last week.
I don't think I got the cam when it was open... can't open it now.. Sorry.
Anyway it was really coming down out there in Bluefield.
I checked the Osprey questions at BWO and the female will sometimes spend the night at the nest before laying an egg. They better start getting some nesting materials in soon.
Maybe we could send Liberty down with some fluff!
Muskie it is like you are out in total darkness. You can't see anything. Then you put on a pair of night vision goggles. That allowing you to see.
I'll check back in going to watch a tv show.
Checked out the Raptor Cam with the Red Tailed Hawk on the fire escape landing
Reporting that ...5 PM on Monday, April 6 and Still No Hatch
I'll be back - also going to check out TV show........

Deb, that's what I said about those osprey at BWO, too much HP, not enough nest building!
I am watching Castle. I have seen several programs of this new show and I like it.
My eyes are tired, and I can't tell: what is at BWO Osprey on the right side of the platform? Are these the weeds?
All help would be appreciated for this old antique.... ☺
Two adults at Blue Heron cam...still do not see the egg...
Well! That was some serious mating at Heron Cam
It is a Weed Osprey, Margy. Jo, Dana and I all thought it was an Opsrey, but it is a weed or branch of some sort!
good night everyone:)
Night, Mits, I was just going to ask how the game was, but will wait until morning to find out.
Thanks Deb....I need super power glasses right now to see much, I did chuckle at the Osprey Weed comment from earlier...but I CAN SEE see those adult herons grooming and preening each other, it is very fascinating
Hi, gang! Didn't get home until almost 9 and then have had a horrible time getting online. Don't know why. Finally did, and have caught up on regular email but not blog or momsters' mail!
By the time I've read through blog, everyone will probably have turned in!
Drs. report good--xray and labs fine. 4 yrs. next week since I was diagnosed and told 1-2 yrs.!! Beating the odds , so far!!!!
Hidey was just giving Belle a ride. Of course now that I am recording, it probably won't happen again. That wind is really blowing the feathers.
Great news, Lynn!
Great Lynn...nice way to end the night, with your good news...
Wild Video of the three Blackwater Osprey!
Looks like Mother Blackwater is spending the night with the kids tonight.
I think it's time for me to hit the sack and rest the eyeballs.
Hope everyone is doing well tonight, and best wishes for a good night's rest.
Peace, Love and Prayers xo
HURRAY FOR YOU LYNN
You are a winner!
PRAISES PRAISES PRAISES LYNN ( :
I am signing off for the night. Sleep well!
I just sent out notice of all the April birthday on the Momster email. Mine landed in my JUNK MAIL
Please check yours!
Headed in to bed - calling it a day
Good Night ALL
Prayers for all needs being said
((((hugs)))) ♥
YAY for you, Lynn!!!Great news!
Gotta shampoo hair & hit the hay.
NC is winning big time. Candy should be happy!
Nighty nite! ☺
Good news, Lynn!
Thanks all!
Welcome to our new bloggers.
Looks like the Tarheels are going to WIN!!! Bet Candy is one happy momster! Wonder if they are on Easter break down there, so she doesn't lose too much sleep!?!
Sad about PH chick.
Jim, we had seen the update on Buddy this AM.
Had a nice dinner out w/ daughter and SIL...we ate at Glory Days--I had never been there b4--good meal--watched both ballgames while we were there---Nats were losing and O's lead was diminishing....don't know how either one turned out...waiting for news after BB game ends.
Gnite all,
Hugs to all ♥
They say it's snowing in Detroit where the game is.
Wanda, glad that GeeGee's report was good. Were you at the Drs. office today? I was there at 2.
Found the most perfect privacy fencing at Home Depot today...exactly what I had in mind to solve the problem of the ugly mess new homeowners have in my view. Not cheap...but not a bank-breaker, either, so....as soon as other SIL's brother is ready to install, will get that accomplished.
Fantastic Lynn!!!! Could not end the day with any better news!
Isn't it wonderful to have neighbors that have you out buying fence. We have great neighbors now, but on two sides we had to put up fence because of messes. Actually, had to put one up because of mess and dogs. Dogs that barked everytime we were in the yard. Fence worked!
Yea, Tarheels!!! Way to go! Did I mention that my dad was born in NC?? DIdn't move to DC until he was 7.
I have that along with the mess, too, Lolly. 2 of them....bark, bark, bark. I used to love it here...for 16 yrs. Then they built and moved in last Sept., and now I hate it here!
Nite all
Prayers for those that need them
These eyes are tired
If the market wasn't so awful, I would sell and move...it is really that bad!
** good nIght **
** everyOne **
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Night, Dana...and everyone else who has called it a day. Guess I'm going to, as well....I am tired, but do want to listen to news. Hate to hear update from Italy...think it's going to be worse than what I had heard at noon.
Sleep well, fowl friends. Prayers!
Fences make good neighbors;)
Lynn, the trip is on for the 21st!
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
We have a 6ft fence on two sides. The third side has been our neighbor for the whole 36 years we have been here. Their yard is lovely and well kept. But, I now like the fence on the other two sides. It makes a good back ground for my landscaping.
I want to go on the field trip, too! Waaaaa!!!
You know that we would LOVE to have you come along, Lolly! We will have many pictures to share with you:)
Nite, Nite
Nite Wanda!
Nite all! Sweet dreams!
Good Chilly Morning Everyone!
Somebody better go sit on Hidey!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE..
Yes, Loretta, Hidey needs some warmth...it is only 36° here.
