Hidey is enjoying a new spot on the nest....and basking in something unusual: Sunshine ☼

You're most welcome, Norma
I hope to get out this week-end and find some more wild things growing!
My favorite Jacks site has been turned into houses...and I think it is past time for them, maybe. But the Ladies Slippers, or Moccasin flowers, a specialty for Mother's Day, need to go find some !
I'm sleepy, so I guess it is time to go to bed. Maybe I can find some Red Pajamas...☺
Hope you all have a great Wildlifing kind of day!
Good news that Lowreeda is okay !
See you all in a few hours or so.
Hope the Sunshine continues for awhile ☺

Good morning everyone. I am running behind today, forgot it was garbage day. BBL
MARGY---NO E-MAIL yet---hopefully today!!
Yesterday at work-out----Several folks came up & told me they had been watching 'MY EAGLES'--I guess everyone had listened to my EAGLE STORIES!---I was so proud!---because they were so excited!!!
Could someone please climb up there and clean off the camera lens, Hidey must of aimed in that direction, can't tell me she DOESN'T know the world is watching, ha ha!!! Especially when she sits right where that spot is, ummm....love watching her she is growing up so fast!!!
DEB!---Sending you 'GOOD THOUGHTS'!

Bery good Bill. Our group just keeps growing and growing. I love it! Some of us have been watching since 2006. It has really been a beautiful journey!

BWO---OSPREY on nest---hatch--6/1?
BWE---LISA--The EAGLETS---have been branching---but no real attemps of flight---Fledge at 9--13weeks--so little early--
LISA has the COMPLETE 'PAPARZZI OF THE NORFOLK EAGLES'----
PEGGY---Did you notice when you open to see the nest---
On the left---you have several choices--
CHECK--FUNNY EAGLES--
That should pull up lots of info about EAGLES---Our EAGLES haven't been weighted. etc.
WATCH for PAULA---She keeps all the info!---
Good morning all. The sun is finally shining in Baltimore. Going up to 78 today.
Welcome to Bill, Anna and Peggy this morning.
Hi Norma, Wanda, Sharon and Gagirl.
This is a wonderful site.
Peggy the nest is big. It is about 80 feet off the ground. Do not really know the size of the Lib, Belle or Hidey.
Good Friday a.m. everyone

Steve did bring the sunshine...first sunny morning in over a week!
Both adults in nest, but Lib just flew up into the back...Belle is starting to feed Hidey...
TGIF!!!
Full Flower Moon - May In most areas, flowers are abundant everywhere during this time. Thus, the name of this Moon. Other names include the Full Corn Planting Moon, or the Milk Moon.
I know Megan is busy so I took the liberty of this info for all of us moon lovers
Eagles can range in weight and size from 8-14 lbs, and a wingspan of 6-8 feet.
chicks are usually bigger than their parents when they fledge, as they have been fattened up and have longer feathers for the first year or more
Norma the problem is having the doctor listen to me, :)
Ahhhhh......sunshine....
Happy sunny Friday everybody!
Looks like breakfast time in the nest.
Just finished picking flowers, hesperis and columbine. Not a lot else showing color here with 8-9 days of clouds. But it's better than nothing! Guess it will be mostly purple bouquets for Mother's day.
Off to get plants ready for the weekend markets. Have a great day!
Hidey is 8 weeks old tomorrow. He/she probably weighs 8lbs or more at this point.
The Norfolk eaglets weighed 6lbs at 6 wks.
Checked DEB'S KESTREL nest in NEB!!----I think there are at least 3---in the box!---(FUZZ BALLS)
The nest is about 7-8ft long, 5-6ft wide, 80ft high up in the tree. Click on my name and scroll down to the eagletmomsters blog for pics from the nest last Saturday.
Welcome, Peggy, Bill and all the other folks from Elkins.
MORNIN' MEGAN!--GA-GIRL--gave me this site to send to you!!---
FARM MARKET BULLETIN (GA)----she is a flower person too!!---

Whoo hoo, my tomato tree shipped today....
both osprey at BWO
Maine 2 had a hatch, yesterday I believe!
Good Morning All! I am certainly not going to be the one to complain that it is soooooo bright out there I am blinded! lol
Waiting for 2 daughters to arrive in order to start my day!
Welcome everyone! Very glad to have you here with all of us!
Lib is back with a huge fish...feeding some bites to Hidey...
Looks like a trout maybe
WOW! What a fish!
Get in there and get some Hidey!
Spot on the cam almost looks like a spot of sap...
Looks like a nice fish in the Maine 2 nest as well.
ELKINS---Hope you are watching---PARENT in the nest!
Been lurking this am while getting ready for my day out...youngest daughter taking me shopping to look for new "everyday" dishes and lunch out, to boot!
SIL's bro and help is here getting started on fence posts.Very happy w/ my new kitchen carpet.
Hedgie - have fun shopping and eating!!
Both STORKS at the nest site in Germany!---MOM is on the nest---DAD is standing beside her--preening!!!
Good morning! Just wishin I was at the base of the sycamore tree to see those two heads sticking up!
Lots of new faces this morning. Welcome!!!!
Is that paper/plastic gone from our nest???
Careful there, Hidey...
Feeling any better yet, Lolly?
I may be a little better this morning. I am not coughing..just light headed and sleepy feeling with just a little headache thrown in! Have not heard from the doctor, so do not know the results of the x rays.
Poor Jack is out doing the yard by himself. :(
All 5 PA PEREGRINE FALCON CHICKS are sunning today at the RACHEL CARSON BUILDING --- 5/27--the little fluffy chicks will be banded!---One can watch it on the blog!!!
SUN is still SHINING!!---WOW!---We are up to 73°---UNBELIEVABLE!!---But WONDERFUL!!
GA-Girl....Megan is "florallady"--she posted a little while ago so you can click on her name.
Last night, late, I peeked in at the snowman cam and there were TWO bears! It that not cool!!!!!
Mits and Lolly....hope you both get to feeling MUCH better REALLY soon!!
MORNIN' MEMA JO & TEXAS LOLLY!!---Hope you are feeling better by the minute LOLLY!!!----Please take it easy & listen to JACK or your Dr---Now you have 2 choices!!---ho!
Thank you, Dr. Lynn. LOL Morning Norma! It's Friday, Norma, and no sausage and homemade bread. :( But, soon!!!! Going to diet through this month, then maintain. Possibly go back on the diet in Sept. While trying to maintain my weight, I think bread and sausage once a week will not be bad!
I know you miss being out in the yard, Lolly.
OUr eagle is really keeping an eagle eye out!
Oh, that is funny. Made a
:( face and the blog split it on my previous post.
WHOA! LOLLY---I was going to wait until you were feeling much better before I mentioned---home made bread & sausage!---ho!
Yes, Paula, I do. I want to be out there so bad. It's a big job for one person too. I hate that Jack is doing it all. First he used the weedeater and now he is mowing. After that comes the edging and mowing. Poor guy!
Well, I will talk to you fine fowl folks later today. Have a great SUNSHINY day!!
The FINLAND OSPREY is nesting in the sun!!---(favorite site)---Can't wait until hatching time--I think MAGPIE saw 2 eggs this am!!
It is a warm and very humid day as well. It is 79 presently and partly cloudy, partly sunny.
LOL Norma. Food actually is not attractive right now. (I admit the bread and sausage does sound good)
thanks Hedgie. I finally figured that out. I have checked out her site. When she has time maybe she can check out that Farmers Market Bullentin in Ga. Maybe there will be something she can use in her area
Bye, Lynn! Have a great day! I'll be right here when you return! :)
Hi GA Girl! I am married to a GA Boy! LOL
Company has arrived - I'll be checking on you all every once in a while -
Lolly - When Bored - write a bookBBL
LOLLY, then I bet he is a great guy!! Born and raised here myself. Both me and mine!!
Wonder what Hidey is watching? Looking up down and all around
He's a ramblin wreck! Married 44 years this June, he's the best! Came to Texas to find me!!!!!
Maine 2 still stuck...was trying to get a peek at the wee one!
Paula, have a question. I have been searching on how to remove a blog, but have not found it. I have several with pictures and thought I would remove one.
Left Ga for the GREAT STATE.You must be special!!!
LOL Sure I am!
GA-GIRL----Both LOLLY & JACK are great folks!!----
Oh, Norma, that is so sweet! Thank you! I love you, too!
Everyone seems really great! I am enjoying the information, the babies and well as "listening" in on the chit chat!!!!
Paula, never mind the question. I found out how to remove a blog.
OK, Lolly...
Either the camera is freezing up or Hidey is veeeery still!
OK nest 7 May: The chick is showing less and less gray down and more and more dark feathers.
6 May: We hope to be able to get a nest cam working again this week or next, so that we, like you, can
continue to monitor the growth of the eaglet. Forecasted rainy weather this week may continue
to cause power problems intermittently. In the coming week we will be installing a
fresh set of deep-cycle batteries, as well as a small wind generator
that will supplement the solar power, and will be mounted in such a way as to pose
no threat to the eagles or other wildlifeupdates.....
BLUE HERRON NEST!!----The herron is on her nest---It is so LOUD at that site!!
Hey Everyone, I just joined the blog and wanted to say Hey. I have been watching Hidey for about a week now. I really appreciate everyone who is involved in allowing me to share in this great family's life. I am from Panama City Florida and have about 10 friends who are also watching the nest.
GABRIELA---might try again---it didn't freeze on me just now---
WELCOME VICKY!!--It's WONDERFUL you folks are enjoying the blog---We have another VICKY on our blog!---COOL--
Hey, everybody. Have meant to stop in to say I did indeed visit the nest site on Monday, and it was a great time. I've been talking about it all week.
The nest is just huge.
Hidey and Belle were in it, in the rain, nicely positioning themselves variously for me to get multiple angles on their hanging out.
What an experience.
welcome Vicky....that is great Itl:)
WHOA! ltl----you have the bug!!---we all talk 24-7 about 'our EAGLES'----I can't explain how excited I was the first time I saw the EAGLES IN THE NEST!!! ---(thought i had died & gone to eagle heaven) ho!---I hope my EAGLE BUDDIES forgive me---I repeat that story so often----
Hidey is snacking on the fish
HH site---OSPREY MOM & chicks are on the edge of nest---together---One OSPREY chick is loud!!--
OREGON EAGLE is still on the nest!!---She raised up---saw something--not sure what!!--(sight is grainy)
LOLLY,I was just checking out your site. Love the pond. We are putting in a pond (again) this weekend, and you gave me some ideas.. Hope you dont mind my "peeking" I have very little sun light and lots of shade
Lunch time here, I cleaned out my coat closet. I want to get everything to Goodwill tomorrow when I am in Sioux Falls. I have 4 big bags of clothes to take. I didn't realize it had been that long since I cleaned out. I just need to do my sweaters next and I will be done.
I have rain here, hope it takes a different route when it leaves SD and misses you all.
beakspeak.com says:
Yesterday - NCTC # 5 on the list
Last 7 days - NCTC #9 on the list
BUT we all know that NCTC is
# 1 on OUR list
I just about forgot. There is a robin sitting on eggs right outside the break room door at work. There are 4 eggs on the nest. I have a picture of the robin on the nest, I would like a picture of the eggs, but will have to wait and see if she moves anytime when I have my camera along.
Norma, there were 5 Kestrel eggs in the Lincoln nest. It is hard to count the chicks, but I think there are 5 there.
DEB---You find birds everywhere! ---Hope you get the pic!---That would be great!!-----The parent was in with the KESTRELS---I couldn't tell!!---Are they not one of the most beautiful birds or not!!
GOOD MORNING/AFTERNOON, EVERYONE!
(It's still morning here in SoCal.)
I've been watching Hidey for a bit-- caught that big s-t-r-e-t-c-h of her right wing! Wish we had a periscope so we could see what she's watching down below. Is that the pesky ziploc bag just below Hidey and slightly to the right? Looks like it's stuck under a branch. Hey, the sun's shining!!!!!
Hope Mits, Lolly & Sharon feel better & better, really quickly!
Wow, that's a BIG fish in the nest!
SoCal weather report: it's about 65 here right now; expected hi is
80. Sun's shining; it's gorgeous out!!! Whoa-- easy there, Hidey!
Hang on tight! (She sure is getting some good exercise right now.) I'm concerned that one of these days she'll perch on a branch that's just loose in the nest, and take off, branch and all!
Phew-- looks like she's settling down for awhile, now. Well, my last load of laundry is calling my name, so BBIALW. Take care, everyone, and have a great afternoon! :o]
need food---later
Norma, I have seen them with the mom out of the nest box and still couldn't count them. I do know there aren't any eggs left, though.
Back to work, bbl!
Hi all. I am in Houston, TX and have been watching for about a week - Hidey is hilarious! I also appreciate the photos you post on your own blogs. I learned about this via a link posted at U2.com (a fan site for the band U2) - you just never know how word gets around!
GA GIRL go ahead and peek! We have worked hard in our "Garden" and are proud of it! We have had our ponds about 9 years. Had it professionally done. We could not have hauled in the rock.
unbelievable Becky:) welcome all U-2 fans;)
Welcome Becky! Be warned! Eagle watching is addictive.
Bye all! Time to get up and move around. Maybe go outside and sit. (Is that okay, Lynn?)
I'm back. I was out for a while - it's a nice here, finally. Thanks for the info on the nest. This is amazing!
One thing we have is plenty of rock..hence the area we are in...
My gals have left and I just may be tempted to take a short panda nap! Oh it is great to be retired! And for all you at work I will TGIF for you! I still remember the feeling -"Come on Quitting Time" :.}
Looking at HI. very up close and personal with dad(?) right in to the camera. but, why does the big s/he keep pecking the little fellow in the head?? and then it just lays there...bully!!!
lol - Watching the Hornby feeding
One for you and One for you
Whoops Two for you No Fair!
Pecking order - the oldest always seems to peck at the younger. The younger sometimes is very wise just to "Play Dead"! It is true that the Pecking can be fatal to a much younger chick..It is just nature's survival of the fittest!
Something we humans have a hard time coping with at times.
Well the Hornby feeding could steal your heart away! I love the looks of the little eaglets' wings as though they are in a hug position!
Way to go "Short Stuff" Get in there and get some for you!
I'll BBILW
Hidey's workin' that fish on her own again. :)
Hi EVERYONE in Eagleland ( :
Just got on a few seconds ago. Hidey is really working that fish over. That is one good thing about being the only eaglet in the nest.
That large of peice our other 3 would have been mantling and fighting over. lol Spunky would have stole some. That fish wouldn't be that large for long. Torn to 3 chucks!!
Have this thread of comments to catch up on.
Is the sound not working, or is that something on my computer?
WOW again so many new people that have been watching. Have decided to join in on comments Anna, Bill, Peggy, Vicky, and Becky WELCOME.
I hope Steve does get the sound working next week. It will make it even better in here.
Isn't that adult parent of Hidey just beautiful. The wind blowing its feathers. Looking up probably watching the other parent in the branches in the tree.
Yes Mema Jo we are coming back up on Beakspeak listing. Maybe we will get back to being #1 there.
As you say we know we are.
It is easy to hit favorities instead of going to Beakspeak and hitting NCTC there but to get back to #1 on the list that is what everyone has to do to bring them to the nest to watch.
I just put Beakspeak in my favorities right above the outdoor site. So it is easy to just click there then on NCTC. Bingo I'm here and our nest is counted.
Hi All, Chris from Portland, OR and first time blogger. I just love watching all the bird cams and am very fortunate to have the RTH Raptorcam in my own city! I enjoy reading all your comments and will now check in regularly. I also like the names for the eagles, Liberty, Belle and Hidey. Cya later!
Welcome Stino come back more often. ( :
Thanks! Can someone please tell me how Hidey got his/her name?
We enjoy watching the RTH Raptorcam glad they have it up.
HEY GUYS ..NEW THREAD
