Great Bird-Watching on this new site, Steve....

GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!-----WOW MARGIE!----You are the fastest GUN in the WEST!!---ho!---Are you coming or going?----I hope you are coming home!----
MARGIE---I couldn't see our nest!
Did it open for you?----I hurry so in the am---will check again---
Two at Finney Water, Osprey, maybe some HP -
No pic---no sound???
Oh, no, now they are just roosting there enjoying the views...
Norma!
I am off today, so I guess I am coming AND going...
I do have our nest open...the birds were sleeping in this morning...and Hidey still is!
xoxox TTFN got to get some packages ready to mail ! ☺
Isn't the FINNEY WATER SITE beautiful this am?---SUZANNE sent me a colorful pic earlier---
thanks margie---will check again!
Norma I did get kicked off everything when trying to open up CT Osprey and also had Cape Coral up...
so now, trying to re-open OUR NEST - I cannot either !
Wah :(
Maybe the site is upgrading...
Norma :
I have a message for you:
Suz says Hi ! ☺
TTFN - will try live feed a little later on...
I will send an email to Steve...and see if he needs me to send it to someone else at the site...
about NO live feed this morning now.
I did have it first thing for awhile.
Morning all:)
Lost my cam picture here-just grey screen :(
It was up at the break of day, Megan....
I just sent an email to Steve... will keep you all posted if I get any information...
Still cam is "Still" good..xox ☺
Yep, Margy, I've had it up since 5 when I came back from bus stop it was frozen.
Not sure when it went kerplunk Megan, I saw Belle get up and nudge the baby then back down she went, they sure seemed to be sleeping in this morning, seems like time for Big Food Delivery, dontcha think?
I visited a few other sites and I guess it happened during the time I got kicked off....
Hope you have a good day...sunshine is coming, I think, Thursday....hope to check the Blue Bells again.
Hey !
Live Feed is Live Again ! ☺
Thanks to the Powers That Be....and I suspect Steve, is the First One to Thank ! xo ☺
OK, than thanks to whoever fixed the cam:)
Still drizzly here, one more grey day, then some sunshine and warm temps for us here.
Off to get some work done-have a great day all:)
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
I peeked in on the nest at about 7am and Hidey was trying his best to crawl under Belle (not a very good fit anymore!) so, it must have frozen after that. Sorry it had to happen on your day off, Margy:(
MORNIN' MEGAN!----I haven't been able to open it either---I even turned off comp & back---no pic!
Is the PLANTING going well?---It is a wet damp am here---temp 46°! I noticed in am paper---in Grantsville, MD--at NEW GERMANY STATE PARK----They are selling plants native to the area-- grasses, sedges, wildflowers, shrubs & trees!!--for folks to create ecofriendly landscapes!!!-----COOL or not???
Oh we're good to go now, Wanda ☺ I'll be away from the "TV" for awhile, you all holler when Breakfast shows up ! xoxo
Thank you STEVE!----You have always been my FAVORITE!!---
try again Norma, cam is back upThat sounds cool, native plant sales.
Mostly still planting in the GH- garden is to wet to get into right now- would like to get them tilled for the last time so can plant in two weeks, maybe this weekend. Have to ask my maintenance man...
OK, Margy, I had to refresh to get the Live cam, Live again:) Wahoo, thanks, STEVE!!
The NORFOLK wet "REBELS" are being fed by a SOAKED MOM!!------Lots of stick & or straw piled in the nest!!----They are a HARDY crew!--ho!
Norma, that Wild Native Plant sale is very cool! That area has many wonderful wildflowers and plants...lots of rhodendrons and ferns. I'm sure the harvesting of those plants is controlled:)
MEGAN!---Just TIP your maintenance man!----ho!
Hidey looks like an ostrich with his head buried under Mom.
MORNIN' WANDA!---I just have never seen a state selling their native plants---Sure sounds like a good deal for everyone!----Got to get dressed---Study group this am!!---Later!---must check the HH crew to see if hatching has happened!!
Good morning everyone. Getting ready to sign off from work and head on home. glad cam is up to enjoy. Also glad the rain has come and I know you are too.
YEP!--new one at HH hatched 4/14!!
Keep an eye on that nest!!--think DEB as been checking it!!
MORNIN' GLO!---REMEMBER to "dance in the rain"----ho!---later--
Morning Momsters and lurking Dadsters. Another wet one here, too. Was checking Finney and noticed that they had non-ringed White Tailed Eagles in nest on several recent occasions, but then they mentioned a ringed one on Sunday w/ something about 2007...guess this means that they have "tagged" birds around...????? Anyone know?
Hey, Jim....hope you get those taxes finished FAST!!
Glo, when is judging???
Good morning. It is going to be in the 60's again today, but windy.
Hidey is starting to alert us to an incoming parent. Listen for the whistling, then in comes a parent. Fish for breakfast.
You got that Right On, Deb !
Outgoing Bird really smacked the Cam!
Looked like Hidey was getting a little "flying lesson";)
I bet that tickles the Parent when Hidey burrows under the tummy like that !
There he goes again, trying to get under Mom. Silly baby:)
Hidey Hide and Seek ☺
Hidey is really living up to his name. LOL
Hearty Welcome to our New Momsters, Sara and jparent1974!
You gals picked a great time to climb aboard !
xoxo ☺
It is just barely light at the RTHA cam and one chick is eating. I can't tell if anything is happening with the other eggs, it is too dark.

good morning all! it is a great day! i have the eagle cam back and hidey looks fantastic. it is also my boy cat's 16th birthday today.... he is frail but still the adorable boy that i have had since he was 3 days old. roast beef and tuna for him today!
GOOD MORNING Jamie. It's cool and rainy here today, that is why Hidey is under Mom most of the time.
Glad you have the cam back, Jamie. Happy "cat" Birthday!
Can you post a photo of your cat, Jamie. What is his name. We have a lot of CAT LOVERS on here!
Hey, Deb, I really enjoyed your photos of the Prairie Chicken. Would love to see them "Live".
Morning, all!
Happy Rainy Tuesday!
We are going again on Friday morning, Wanda, to a different place that has a blind set up. I hope we can get closer this time.
Good Rainy Morning All!
Like Wanda said - "Hidey is living up to the name we tagged on her/him"
Red tail off the nest.
Feeding time in Portland.
Isla at Loch of the Lowe's Osprey nest in Scotland, laid her 55th egg of her life time this morning 8:15 "their time." Her 3rd egg of the clutch....
At that nest, the first egg was laid about 10 days after confirmed mating activity...wonder if we will see any of the same good fortune at Finland Water Nest, sometimes referred to as "Nauvo" (on the Puleston Site)
Off to the store...going to have to have to dodge the raindrops..
Best wishes for a good day for everyone....xo ☺
Both adult eagles at the Decorah nest with food
Ft St Vrain nest has all 3 little eaglets in a line being fed by adult
and Hidey is still hiding!!
that sounded like geese flying by the nest, caught the attention of the parent, lol
Cute covering stance our nest right now.
It looks like Hidey is trying to go back where she came from! :)
Good Wednesday morning all! Looks like rain again on the nest. Belle is such a good mommy! We, too, are expecting rain possibly tomorrow and Friday. We have changed our day of leaving for OK to Saturday. I DO NOT want to travel during severe weather. OK has too many tornadoes! We will be pulling our trailer and I do not want rain and wind.
wow, hidey is sure growing fast,,
That is cute and did you see that wiggle wiggle, trying to get deeper under mom?!
POOR BELLE, she is so uncomfortable and Hidey just won't give her a break!
I wouldn't want to pull a trailer in bad weather, either, Lolly.
Hidey backed out from under parent, did a poop shoot and went right back under.
costumelady... my cat's name is.... now, don't laugh... bootsie woo woo. he is a tuxedo that i found with his 4 brothers and sisters in a bush that was going to be bulldozed. saved them and his mom. found homes for the other 4 kittens and kept him and mom. i was a bird person didn't know if i would like cats but i love them now and my cats leave my birds alone! i am computer stupid, don't know how to do picture stuff, sorry!
My legs hurt just watching her.
It's raining harder now and Hidey is not happy with the roof over his head:)
Belle is trying so hard to cover him better, but you can only do so much with a little porker like Hidey;)
Gonna have to dig a deeper cup for that chicklet.
Guess it is raining at your house as well, Wanda. What is the temp?
"Bootsie" is a cute name. Sara, one of our new Momsters has a cat named Loco. She has a photo of it on her profile page. Just click on her name.
Yes, it is raining here, too, Lolly. It is 46°. Going to get nicer tomorrow...64° and then warmer and sunny on the weekend;)
It is really raining hard & steady right now here in the valley - same as it is at the nest, I'm sure.
The loons are back in MN! They are not on the nest yet, just checking out the lake. I am not sure when the cam will go live, probably when they start nesting?
I hope Mits is having lots of sunshine!
I best look for a weather report for our nest.
Nest Weather:
Today
Occasional drizzle this morning. Showers. Highs around 50. North winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent.

Thursday

AMEN for the Sunshine
Deb, was it last year that there was no hatches at the Loon Nest?
I can't remember. I know they had a lot of disturbances.
I've got to get some work done.BBL
Belle should be happy that she doesn't have 3 of those little varmints trying to fit up under her! ☺
Belle says enuff is enuff!
Time to get busy. My mornings are gone without anything accomplished. I wonder why? LOL
Have a great day!
Will try to BBL
There were two hatches last year at the Loon nest. I think people were the problem last year. Larry talked to a couple of them and asked them to not get so close to the nest and they cooperated.
Fish delivery.
LOL, was that a food delivery or what? It's mine, all mine!!
Wow look at Hidey...standing on his own 2 feetsies!!
Good afternoon!
Photos from last Sunday:
BW PhotosBob
Cool Lolly...you are heading to see the OK eagles? How long will your trip be?
Wow, Bob, great pictures once again.
Thanks, Bob...see you saw some Osprey HP ;)
And the while pelicans are back?
Thanks Deb. I continue to be surprised how every week at BW is a little different. I got lucky with the pelicans this week. They were closer to shore then they normally are and the lighting was just right.
Not sure the pelicans ever left Paula.
Hmmm, interesting Bob...
Hi, Bob...great photos, as always! Thanks!!
Lib is back with more food! He's on a roll today!!
Looks like a mammal...
Another squirrel!
Got a good look at Belle's beak...looks like dried blood on her beak to me...
She's working on the squirrel...
Thanks Lynn. BTW - I love that Hatteras Lighthouse. I've got a couple of B&W photos of it I took that are hanging in my office at home.
Off for some lunch
Daughter is visiting
Have my pulmonary breathing test this afternoon - sure hope I pass!
BBL
I wish the Osprey at HH would get some food in the nest. I am not sure if there has been a feeding there or not. I saw the chick, it held it's head up pretty high.
RTH second egg is pretty close to breaking apart.
Oregon nest is full of snow, but the eagles are still incubating.
Did you study for your test, Jo??? LOL!!!! I always asked people at work that question before their eye test or urine test!
Thanks, Bob.....I LOVE lighthouses, but Hatteras is probably my most favorite, for alot of reasons! I have scads of webshots from they moved, not to mention my own pics from back in the old days when we first started going there.
looks like it's lunchtime for Hidey. hi, ya'll.
YUp, time for some squirrel for Hidey...he sure is peeping away!
LYNN...Bob cheated me, I didn't get any lighthouses?? Where are they?
Wet, but Happy Afternoon, Everyone. Am at Chelsea "farmhouse" office w/pond today, and no critters around except the resident geese pair. I found a nest they built near edge of pond, but it is MT. Don't know if something got their eggs, or they abandonned it.Still hope to see goslings this year.
Saw that Hidey grew MORE & was getting lunch. BBL
Lynn - I love Hatteras. We used to go every fall but haven't been for a few years. We would rent a place on the sound side right next to the ferry. The house used to stand by itself but then they built other ones on either side. We used to love to eat at The Breakwater.
Wanda - I was referring to Lynn's avatar.
ltl...did you read the WAX story?
Wax! I went down that road once before. I'm not going there!
Just read back & saw your new pics, Bob! Spectacular---love all those pekicans. We rarely see them here, on mid Patuxent---guess water is too fresh.
Now I really am getting back to work ☺
sp---pelicans!!!
Costume Lady, were you going to email it to me?
The Red tail is sure digging in the nest. One egg at the Heron nest in WA.
Heron Cam
Wax story that Helen posted:
Wax!
Gorgeous photos, Bob. I don't know how, but you started out with great pictures, and you just keep getting better.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
thanks, Deb. don't get the connection to being the x00th commenter, but it is a striking tale.
me, i don't even shave. anywhere.
Itl, just double click on the blue link that Deb posted, and you'll get the story....prepare to laugh your head off!!
Poor Bob...he and Red have both gotten WAX! They preferred to pass it off to momsters!
Bob, we used to go every year....we camped, either at Hatteras KOA, or over on Ocracoke, which is my favorite place to go. As the kids got older, it was Hatteras so that they could be entertained!! It has all grown up so much. Candy (carolinabeachmomA)has been in Nags Head for 20 yrs.and has never been over to Ocracoke.
THANKS, BOB, for clearing that up! I thought I was going crazy...I check back to you photos three times and stil saw no lighthouse. I too, am a collector of lighthouse paraphenalia. Hatteras was one of our favorite vacation places too, I loved to fish off the pier there and catch flounder. Yum!!
It is something to lighten the mood, ITL and give everyone a laugh every once in a while.
A fish was delivered to the HH Osprey nest, waiting for a feeding. Adult is eating now.
ltl...there really is no connection from the 100th commenter to the Wax story, we just think the story is so funny that we just like to refer to it now and then by yelling WAX when comments hit 100-200-300 etc.
(At least that is my understanding of the custom):)
gotta love a subculture's goofy traditions.
I checked the Osprey blog and see I missed a feeding about an hour ago. I see part of an egg shell in the egg cup, I wonder if another hatch is happening, or if that is old.
Wanda, your understanding of the wax is correctomundo!!!
HO, as Norma says....we are a subculture!!! Never thought of us that way before! LOL!
Are we goofy??? PROBABLY to some! But we sure have fun!
Raining hard again here...at nest, too, judging by Belles' tenting. Temp down a degree to 45.
hey, for the record, "goofy" is no insult coming from me!
-- goofy Lisa
We certainly can get goofy but don't we have a blast in the process! :)
Yep, it's raining hard here and at the nest, and there's lots more coming our way this afternoon. Some really heavy showers.
Welcome to the club, Lisa!!! Right on, Shurnlea! BTW....how did you get the two feather pics combined into one?? Also, sent you an email last week asking a techie question...and now I don't remember what it what...duh!!
Duh, again...what it WAS!
Ha-ha, Lisa, welcome to our subculture! :) We can get a little goofy sometimes, but when you need a pick me up or a kind word, this is the place to come!

SUBCULTURE:
An ethnic, regional, economic, or social group exhibiting characteristic patterns of behavior sufficient to distinguish it from others within an embracing culture or society..That's us:)
Awww. the second Red-tailed hawk egg has hatched, well almost anyway. It looks like the shell is in two parts. Mom is already eating some of the shell.
Boy, it's a soaker out there....
LIsa...you're in :)
BWE Mom has both chicks under her!
Awww, Bob, sure you don't want any wax :)
Talk about goofy...remember the comments on the blog last summer, when the "we be jammin" music was playing!!! Talk about ROFLMAO!!
They are really zoomed in on the HH osprey chick.
HH Osprey Nest
Red-tail hawk brought some greenery to the nest.
This is their first hatch, isn't it Deb
Lil ospreyette looks hungry~!
This is the third year for eggs, the first hatch.
GRRRR! I saw the Osprey watching the sky earlier, but I missed most of the drama. This message is posted on their blog:
A third osprey was seen today attacking both parents while on the nest. The male left the nest in pursuit of the intruder. Shortly after the intruder landing on the nest with the female pushing it off. We have yet to determine who this intruder is. Looks as though the parents will have more to contend with than just their chicks.
OMG, Paula, that was SO-O-O funny and fun!!! We should find that thread and read back through it...roflmbo!!!! What a hoot.
Just dropping in ...Hi ALL IN Eagleland.
Need to read comments on this page then I'll be caught up here.
Right in the middle of watching the osprey, I lost the cam part of the page and it said not available...anybody else? She was SO still but heard bird sounds...it is live, isn't it?
That was hysterical, the Jamaican music coming from the nest! Did we ever find out where the music came from?
We have had more laughs with that nest than I can count:)
Hi ya', Dana! How you be feelin', gal???
There isn't any sound, Lynn, it updates every few seconds. That is if you are watching the Hilton Head Osprey cam. I put a slide show of the last feeding on Nest Pictures. What a cutie!
I wonder if she is hot or upset, she is panting right now.
Oh, our Reggae day was an absolute side-splitter. I think it came through NCTC's system, something John did! It was great. We be jammin all day!
Found it, Paula....it was 30 July...Vicki and GeeGee's birthday...wasn't hard since Steve had titled the next thread as "post-reggae" day!
Deb, I must have clicked on the osprey sound link w/o knowing it!
shake off that rainwater, mamma!
Our chick alone...no now a flyin an shake off the wet and a feeding
That was also when the blog got messed with and our names had the caps!
Deb is right 2 hatches on the loon cam. Last year eggs laid 1-May 10th and 2nd laid May 12.
I loved watching the chicks riding on the parents back.
Thanks, Dana, on the Loon Cam confirmation. Last year was the first time I watched it.
The males name is Ollie at the HH Osprey nest. Haven't found the females name. So glad they have a chick. ( :
Great to see new people and some joining our "subculture" customs lol
Went off to visit with Bob's pictures. Another nice set of captures Bob thank you for sharing with us. Can't believe how blue the water is in some of the pictures. Just Beautiful! I enjoyed the capture of the wind blowing the pelicans hair on their heads tee hee cute neat picture.
No Wanda I didn't see any light houses in the group of Bob's pictures. ( : I'm kidding with you.
We be Jammin'
Taking a break! Worked in the yard, then came in for a late lunch. Then did my excercises. Now sitting here with ice on my knee. Not hurting, or swollen, just a precaution.
So, we are a subculture! Well, I am mighty proud to be a part of this social group with it's characteristic behavior that sets us apart. LOL Some folks think we need to get a life (my son!), but hey, I LOVE this life!!!
Oh, that is funny Paula. Complete with the erratic picture we were getting.
Mon that has rhythm !!
Would someone please give us a "blue thingey" of the Loon cam. Need it for my laptop.
LOON CAM
CLICK FOR CALL OF THE LOON
I see a restless eaglet!
Thanks Dana! Now my knee is frozen and it is time to head back out!
BBL
76 and sun shiney here! Gotta put the sun screen on.
LOL, love the flapping and shaking by Belle....one day I'll get it recorded!
Go, Paula....that really brought it back! You the mon!!
LOL, Hidey is so clumsy, he's just adorable!
Looks like he has a little white beanie on the top of his head
I wonder if that place on Belle's nose (beak) could have happened the day Liberty flew into her knocking her off the nest?
OMG check out that fish! Degutted and everything! Way to go Lib!
Belle takes the food right away from Liberty !!
Hmmm, maybe Lib kept the tastiest part for himself!!
DANA, that is called Domestic Violence!
Aww Catfish for Din Din (I zoomed in)
Did ya'll notice Hidey working that crop?
I ask a question over in the HH Blog. I had on my papers that the male was called Ollie but didn't have a name for the female.
Moderator wrote: The male from three years ago is called Ollie and its mate, Olivia. We are not sure whether the current osprey are the same since we do not have many photographs of Ollie and Olivia.
15 April, 2009 16:52"
Thanks Paula, for bringing that fun memory back for us!
I think NCTC was trying to appease us because the cam was on the fritz;)
