Margy, asked Fubby if he wanted to come---"No, I've done that!"

NatureNut said...

Mema Jo said...

I split with you - I just did a cheese/cracker snack.

Here's a link to several very interesting blog entries dealing with the preparations for a very possible mating between Gao Gao and Bai Yun in San Diego.

Think I'll find a couple of layers to wear! Don't care if it rains or not...walked doggies tonight in the rain...

NatureNut said...

All those visiting Park on TU---keep in mind it is cooler on the boat and River, so layering is a good idea Paula. If you don't like wind in your hair, hooded jacket or secure hat is good, too.

paula eagleholic said...

HItting it folks, see some of ya in the morning....others on here in the evening! Have a great day!

Hugs to all ♥

Mema Jo said...

Belle and Hidey look like they are snuggled together - wind has picked up somewhat.

Ok, Loretta you just helped me decide which hooded jacket to take!
I think it is time to call it a day so that tomorrow will come sooner for me!

Good Night All
Peace to you & yours
Prayers for all those in need especially the small helpless children.
(((hugs))) ♥

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning my wonderful friends of feathers and fur, as my sister says!! Haven't talked to ya'll in days!! Anything exciting happening? I have been watching Hidey and she is growing like a weed. I told Sharon she is eating for three!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Does anyone know if there are any eaglets at Hornby Island? I have been having cam problems with that site. I think it is back up today, but still dark there.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

She sure is flexing them wings!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Poop shoot! She has the most awkward poop shoots I have ever seen!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Belle just brought in another tree, still building that nest up! Such great parents. Hidey is justa fussin' at her!

Mema Jo said...

Up & at 'em! I say - foggy in the valley. Drive carefully.

Our nestorations are Big Time!
WOW! Hi Sissy! I thought maybe the rain storm brought that limb down but I read you saw her bring it in. Well I hope Hidey likes her new decor!

Off and running! Talk with everyone later.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

ROFLMBO - Hidey was just picking at Belle's tail feathers!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Norma, we are supposed to get a little snow tonight too!! Just about enough of this, I tell ya! But 80s by the weekend, so at least it will be short lived!

Mits said...

Mits said...

normabyrd said...

LATER--

deb said...

Sissy, April 26 is the first date for Hornby, but hardly any egg seems to hatch on the early date.

Mits said...

thanks, Deb have been looking for details about HI, am a little rusty on puter.....messed up my Verizon web mail page when I was in AZ on hubby's computer....it bumped me to basic and still am trying to figure out how to get back...might have to put in a call to them today...yuck!

Niece and Randy said...

thanks Mema Jo !! Looks great..I"ll have plenty to watch from that :)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Hidey is hunkered down again!

Mits said...

think Hidey thinks she can fly.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I just saw Hidey do a second or two of mantling! Wow.

Mits said...

the gang is all in the nest

Mits said...

ok what is that on the menu?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I don't know Mits but I don't think it is fish!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Well, I was frozen, thought she was sleeping!! Looks like an early lunch/late breakfast!

Mits said...

really is a dark looking fish...

Mits said...

Lib worked hard fixing that stick and she is changing it

deb said...

Message from Larry at the Loon nest from Saturday:

Larry's Loon CamToday, the technical wizards have been here working on all the technical issues necessary to actually bring a live picture to you. We are still hoping that we will be able to do that in the next few days.

Gabriela said...

No new thread for Tuesday? Hidey is looking kinda pooped. did she get some exercise this AM?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Steve must be busy this morning, sometimes it is afternoon before he gets a chance to get us a new thread. So, we just keep talking and talking on the old one!! Hidey is sacked out for sure. She has been eating and flapping her wings all morning, though.

Mits said...

horrible buzz at nest.....

nannydary said...

Good morning every eagle watcher.
I am watching the eaglet grow from
the Sunshine State. Originally from Hag. Md. and was told about the nest and I've been watching for
about a month or more. When something looks alarming in the nest I feel like I need an emergency phone# to let someone know that there's trouble.
Love the web-site, it brings me home everyday.

deb said...

I finally turned the sound down, Mits. I am glad you didn't get sunburned, it is easy to do in Arizona. When you get time, you will have to tell us about your trip.

deb said...

Welcome, Nannydary! They are fun to watch and some others have worried about who to call to rescue the eaglet, too. They decided they would just call the Guard House, I believe.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

ROFLMBO! I thought that buzzing was coming from the doctor's dictation. Didn't even think about it being from the nest! Thanks Mits, work is alot smoother now!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Luney is laying on the grate!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Wow, look how strong Hidey's legs and feet are getting! Standing there so straight!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Duh, Sissy, you should have asked me about the buzzing sound. I could have told you! :)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Except the launch pad really is not the place for Hidey to be hanging out yet. Welcome Nannydary!! So glad you came on to talk to us. Keep coming back!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I love the name Nannydary, sounds Irish or something! Tell us about it?

Gabriela said...

Does anybody know if there are any studies comparing survival rates of single hatchlings vs multiple? I keep looking at Hidey and thinking how lucky she is to be the sole beneficiary of her parents' hunting prowress. She's growing so well! But i wonder if she is less competitive/agressive not having siblings with which to compete. Just curious! I also looked at a few other eagle cams and the NCTC one appears to be the best!

Mits said...

I'm not an expert Gabriela, but unless they are tagged, guess there is no way of knowing if they survive as well are better than siblings to share with.....I think just by nature as with other wild animals in is ingrained in their DNA to be fierce birds of prey...jmo.

Gabriela said...

Thanks Mits1 In any case, Hidey is growing beautifully!
