Gray day thread. Thanks, Steve. Showers passing thru here now.
Adult came back to cover Hidey. Just light showers passing thru, shouldn't last long. Back to work....
Thanks for the heads up Sara. AND MEGAN you are the no. 1 watcher for the new thread. Thanks Steve for the new thread.
I bet your fields look just beautiful or soon will be MEGAN. I just love flowers!
I am done mowing, need to get my mower blade sharpened and do it again.
My Mourning Doves finally came back today. I was wondering where they were. Now I wonder if the Eurasian Collared Doves will stay or move on.
Glad to hear that the adult will be only covering Hidey for a short time. That bird is too big to be sat on; except the fluffyness of the nest helps. Hidey is trying to peek out in front of the adult. So cute.
It is still cloudy here but surprisingly warmish. Think I'll go out on the screen porch and read. BB
Hidey is being hidden again. Guess adult is protecting him/her from showers.
Checked BWE & the two dark blobs are snoozing. BWO nest was empty. Don't know if there are any osprey eggs around yet, or not. Our cam here at Park is not working, but osprey is not sitting low in the nest like it would be on eggs.
The Portland RTHA is sure moving around a lot, but no check yet.
HH Opsrey keeps checking on their chick, I am so glad things seem to be working there this year.
No eggs yet, Loretta, at BWO, but they have been spending a lot of time at the nest the last couple of days.
I found you all! Good afternoon everyone!
Belle is back at the nest covering up Hidey
Just checked my last year's osprey pics & in our cam nest at Park, there were 2 eggs on 4-12, & 3 confirmed on 4-15.
Have seen an osprey at BWO most of the day...they still need more sticks!
We also have a 'gray day' in So Cal, Megan, but no real rain this time.
The Hummingbird nest has two eggs as of today.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
I have returned from the eye Dr and in 2 weeks I shall have 20-20 in both eyes again with my new lenses!
Checking out RTH - they even zoomed in the cam - but only caught a glimpse of an egg. I am certain those little white fluff balls will soon be visible.
HI SHARON
Beautiful wing stretches from our adult
Belle up and left...rain must be over...
Jo, there is a baby Red-tail!! I rewound and watched the close-up. I am getting video now.
2 visible eggs in the Hornby nest are visible
Video is loading, depends on how slow Youtube is today.
WHOO HOO DEB!
I know that I missed the last egg roll
Thank you so much - the suspense is over!
I have a little video of the female eating some of the shell.
I am going to run to the store while it is loading, bbl.
Afternoon, gang! Still gloomy here, with intermittant sprinkles/showers...only 47 degrees. Our little one is alone, so guess it's not raining there at the moment.
Hi Everyone! My friend forwarded me this site with the eagles on it. my whole family is now addicted to seeing what happens next. And no my co-workers are watching too. We have a few questions. i see they have names. who is who? also curious how old the baby is? thanks!
Parent Family
Afternoon everyone.
Welcome jparent1974. The people on the blog name them. Belle is the female parent. Lib is the male parent. Hidey is the little eaglet.
Hi, jparent. welcome. Our eaglet was born on 14 March. We affectionately call him/her Hidey--because mom kept it well hidden at first, and/or Miracle because it was theonly successful hatch from a 3-egg clutch. Mom and dad are Belle and Liberty.
And Hidey hatched March 14. Welcome Parent Family!
Hi Lynn.
Deb I loved the Susan Boyle video. Wow. Such a lovely voice. Love that song.
Hi Lynn and Ceil!
Hi Sharon. Thanks Lynn and Sharon. I always forget something.
AAAWWWW, our Little Luney is nursing!
Jparent, the larger adult is Belle. Often hard to tell the difference due to fact that cam distorts the perspective. Keep in mind that an eagles' nest can be over 6 ft. across and weigh 1000 lbs. or more. And adult eagle can be up to 2 feet "tall" with a 7 ft. wing span.
Hi, Ceil and Sharon.
Ceil, do you have a date yet for MM's surgery?
Not yet Lynn. I told her to call the surgeon and lets get this moving.
And what kind of surgery is Mary Margaret having?
Lynn, Love your lighthouse avatar.
Hernia and they cannot not do it laproscopic (sp)
OOOHHH, I have experience with that! I have never had any surgery laparoscopic but it sure would have been nice!
I don't think it is as difficult as yours and Helen's. Hope not.
Jim just called me. There has been a dog wandering the neighborhood and it is back. I saw a lost dog poster some where going to try to find it. BBL
The sooner the better, Ceil. Better to have it done as elective surgery than to wait til it strangulates and becomes an emergency. Tell her I said "get 'er done" now!
Sharon and Hedgie - Thanks! Wow that really puts the size of this nest and those beautiful eagles in perspective! Is there a male that visits the nest too or just Belle and Hidey?
jparent, Liberty is our very attentive male eagle.
Is there a way we can tell Liberty apart from Belle when we are watching?
Our Paula can usually tell the difference by the neck feathers but I haven't mastered that yet!
Most of the time we can only tell the difference when they are both in the nest or sometimes where they stand. Liberty stands at the 12-3 o'clock position most of the time and feeds Hidey mostly from that side. Belle feeds from right under the camera most of the time.
Welcome, JParent! It is very easy to get hooked on these eagles.
Fish delivery
Supper time at the nest. Liberty brought it in and Belle is taking it over.
Belle has the fish, Lib is in the back of the nest. You can see that Lib is a little lighter in color than Belle, also.
My cam is freezing, anyone else?
OH MY!!! both at the same time! I just noticed one is much bigger that the other one. I am assuming that Belle is the smaller on????
No, jparent, the female is much larger than the male.
Female raptors are the larger. They are larger because they lay the eggs and do most of the nest duties. Males are smaller so they can maneuver better to get the food. They do most of the hunting and fishing.
Oh I see! She's feeding Hidey from under the camera! I think I got this now! Thanks!!!!!
jparent, where are you from?
My pop up cam is good to go
We are just outside of Chicago, IL. We are a western suburb of the city.
jparent - my avatar is the actual sycamore tree where the nest is located on the NCTC grounds. The black dot near the top is the nest.
Jo, RTHA clip is on Nest Pictures.
Just heard that there was a minor earthquake in Athens, WV Sat. It's near VA border downstate someplace....anyone from the southern delegation know where or hear about it?
Big load of fluff that time.
More fluff, they are determined to cover up Hidey!
LOL, Belle loves to bury Hidey!!
Mema Jo - Wow! what a different perspective of where the nest is! Thanks for sharing!
Hello everyone!
I am the friend that sent jparent1974 the link to this site, which I got from my Mom. How incredible!!!
I also had a few questions and since you were so great about answering my friend's questions......what happened to the other eggs???
The hawkette is so cute!!
The other two eggs were not viable. ZZWe have not seen them in a couple of weeks, so assume that they either got tossed out of the nest, or trampled down into the egg cup.
Welcome Kropp Family.
Red-tailed Hawk cam
I think that it was Liberty who just came and covered up the baby to keep it warm! AWWWWW
Thank You, Hedgie! We figured that was the case....but also wondered if the Eagles would eat the eggs that were not viable.
Belle hides Hidey, and Hidey manages to throw off the blankie...just like a kid!!!
I don't THINK so, Kropps...Paula????
Thanks Deb for the video - Now for the other 2 to hatch!
Welcome All!
please go to this site.. join us in our nest if you wish.......
Eaglet_Momsters Site
Belle is just determined to keep Hidey covered up one way or another! Too Funny!
Cool cam, Deb. Strange nest...looks like it's in a metal crib/playpen!
Deadliest Catch 5th season premieres tonight, folks!! 9 pm Eastern on Discovery Channel.
I think it is a fire escape balcony, Lynne, although I am not positive on that. There is a window just about the nest.
The eagles do not normally eat the eggs that are not viable. They will eat the shell of a hatched egg as it is high in calcium. (I think Paula is headed for home, so I will try and fill in.)
Thanks for info, Deb...I failed to notice the window!!! Duh!
That's fine, Deb...you are smarter than me, so you can correct me or fill in gaps anytime!!!
Definitely not smarter, just have been watching a little longer!
Dinner time - spaghetti night! Our
son and ggd here for the Meatballs!
bbl
Glad to hear that you are feeling up to making meatballs, Jo! Hope they eat more than just the meatballs, tho'!! I love sghetti. Was going to fix it tonight but after big lunch out, I'll wait til tomorrow.
Time for me to head home. see you all later tonight or tomorrow! thank you so much for today! I can't wait to go home and tell my daughter all about what I know now! Have a good evening everybody!
oh cool, Deadliest catch at 9- I will finally have something to watch...
Light showers passing by here and at the nest again. Back to work, so I can watch TV later:)
You, too, jparent!
Hello...
Hedgie you mentioned the earthquake in WV. It was reported near Athens, WV and Glen Lynn, VA. It registered on the meter 2.4but was so minor that no one noticed it. There were not reports of damages, etc.
Looks like HIdey is back under parents protective wings....♥
Thanks, Sara!
You got it correct Deb. They will eat hatched egg shells, or eat a broken egg, but not a whole one.
Mits saw one egg in the nest on Saturday. I think the other one is totally gone.
RTH up eating
Take a look at what was under her.....
Red-tail is off the nest eating, chick is visible in Portland.
Sounds like Hidey wants out from underneath Belle!
Gotta go walk the doggies...only drizzle here...BBIALW
A chick A chick
A bobble headed white fluffy RTH chick 2 eggs to go
Looked up Athens and it is near Bluefield....Sissy, know you weren't home to have known about it...what about you, Sharon???
I think I figured out how to add pictures into a blog on my profile. This is all new to me.
Has anyone ever seen a second eagle at the Sydney nest?
Sorry, I don't watch the Sydney nest.
Great pictures, Sara! Cute picture of Scrappy and Loco.
Deb, I don't watch the Sydney nest much either...mostly OK and this one...that's why I was wondering.
Sara, enjoyed your picks..good shots! Congrats on successful posting!
Beakspeak doesn't have us listed still/again!
Pretty hard to type after watching the Susan Boyle video...
Thanks Deb - it's wonderful...and I put into favorites so I can watch it often..
Good Eagle Evening, Friends...xo
Sara
Good to see some of YOUR Beauty...
Nice going on the picture posts.
I'm still catching up on today's posts, back in a few minutes.
See we have new chicks on the planet today....got to find out more...back in a few minutes ....xo
There are 3 hatched eaglets at the Sidney nest! I think the 3rd one just hatched today...
Off to go play in the paperwork...
That's exciting news about Sidney, Paula... can hear an adult calling on there now, and an airplane!
Super Duper Videos of RTH Deb Cute little fuzz ball !
Phooey and Shucks...Sidney is one of those sites that slows my computer down so can't stay on there long
Sure is a beautiful nest site....
xo
Brother John in Colorado sends me a copy of his weekly Prairie Dog reports which always includes his avian sightings:
"First sightings over the last week have included white pelican, gadwall, yellow-headed blackbird, greater yellowlegs, green-winged teal, cinnamon teal, American coot, and painted lady butterfly. We also saw another single Sandhill crane that flew over our colony. We still have not seen a single sage grouse, and it's getting to that time of year when we do not expect to see them anymore because the females should be at the booming/mating grounds or starting to lay their eggs. "
The Yellow-headed Blackbird is one of his favorites... ☺
Hello!!!!! Been off all day. Watching Idol right now.
Deb, I love that video. What a cute little chick!!
There were a lot of newcomers on today.
WELCOME!
Hello again:)
Posted some daffodil pictures from my yard on my whatever blog.
..... Nice, Floralgirl...
Wow! Beautiful, Megan! Oh, how I would love to see your place!
Just visited Decorah eagle, variety of food is a little too graphic. :)
Lovely, Megan!! And video was so cute, Deb!
Hi Margy and Lolly. Margy, does your brother take pics? Would love to see the cinnamom teal!!!
Hi Lolly -fun to see that Patriotic Texas Avatar again!
Lynn, I am not sure about the birds, but he sure photographs the Prairie Dogs! I will find out and get back to you...
I am easy to find with it. LOL
I'm going to fool my body and go to bed.
Hope you all have a wonderful evening....
See you in the pre-dawn light!
Peace, Love and Prayers xo ♥
Night Margy!! Hope you get a good nights sleep.
Good Evening Everyone!
Just an exciting note that after work I stopped at the eagle nest. Mom was sitting like she normally does & I thought I saw a tiny brown wingtip rise above the edge of the nest (not hers).I started walking to car, but saw her stand up, so went back to watch & saw 2 wingtips come above the nest!!!!!There's a little flapper in there!
It/they would probably be same or older than BW chicks, as she was incubating eggs very early.
Cooking tomorrow night's dinner, so may not be back tonight.
Pleasant feather dreams to all hitting the hay! ☺
Almost time to call it a day - I don't know if any 10:00 show is on TV or not..
New Eaglet Momster members are
Sara and jparent1974 ! We are happy
you have joined our Nest!!
WOW Loretta - what a good reason to want to go to work every day !! You'll have to keep a close watch on that nest.
I LOVE DAFFODILS !
To market I go to get some!
Loretta, that is neat. Don't you wish you had a cam??? Hopefully we'll be able to see a wing or two next week!
Night Margy, Loretta, Jo, and all turning in. Taping Without a Trace and going to get my bath. Feeling VERY sleepy. Will see y'all in the monring light. Still more rain on tap---argh! Prayers.
I spent the afternoon with GeeGee. She had a doctor appointment and we learned that her Carotid Artery Sonogram showed no blockage! Don't know what caused her stroke and probably never will. Pray that she never has another. She thinks that if she eats better, that may help her to not have another stroke...it's ok with me if she wants to think that. It may give her an incentive to eat more. We went to the grocery store and bought 15 or 20 MARIE CALLENDAR dinners and some Jimmy Dean breakfasts. YOU GO MOM!
Wonderful to have some new Momsters:)
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Good Night All!
Prayers for all needs being said
Peace to you and yours
(((hugs))) ♥
Guess I sort of disappeared tonight. Sorry, did not mean to be rude. My bad! Watched Idol and then Dancing, and after that Cupid. I really vegged out tonight and I am NOT a TV watcher.?????
Heading to bed now. New momsters, that is great!
Nite all! Sweet dreams!
Good morning Early Birds!!!
Hahaha. I think Hidey is trying to wedge her head end under the breast of the adult ... Belle? ... next to her on the nest. But Belle is already backed right up to the edge at 2:30 o'clock.
I think the little one is going to push her mother right off the nest.
Jim
I've got some stuff to do ... including taxes, which I haven't finished making out YET...
** GooD nIGHT **
** EVERYoNE **
jIM
Belle is still in the nest w/ Hidey...just heard a couple of peeps out of Hidey...he was preening, but is now tucked back up under Belle...time for nitey nite!
Had some late nighters did we?
Jim Good Luck getting your tax things done....
Paula, sounded like you made good time of your day off ! ☺
