normabyrd said...

SUNSHINE is shining on my shoulder!!---Sure hope it is shining at NCTC!!!--You go PAULA!!----BEST WISHES!!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Miss Norma...you are on here, all alone. Thought I would keep you company:)
Are you able to visit the nest with us on May 23? You and Lise, maybe. We haven't seen you a a while. It's is about time!

movin said...

Good morning, Norma, Wanda.

Norma... The favorite, "....Revenge" looks good to me, but there's much research to do....and many long shots, which could make you fabulously wealthy.

normabyrd said...

A LOON is swimming around in front of the LOON nest!!---1 LARGE EGG!!

movin said...

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' WANDA!-----I had heard anything about the 5/23 visit!---That's a Sat.----sounds GOOD to me!!----

normabyrd said...

HEY JIM!---Pick the 'RIGHT HORSE' today & you can FLY OUT to see the nest on May 23!!----
My horse is-----"I WANT REVENGE" !!
(perfect name for me) ho!

normabyrd said...

I noticed that sign yesterday JIM!
Did you notice it too---WANDA?

deb said...

Good morning, everyone. It is going to be a beautiful day here. I hope to get some yard work done this morning, so I can enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Jim, we want to be fabulously wealthy! Let's all bet on REVENGE! I don't know how to bet:(

normabyrd said...

WANDA---meant to say earlier 'HAD NOT' heard----I certainly hope I improve as the day goes on!!---or you have my permission to SHOOT ME!---ho!

Costume Lady said...

Maybe I can go to EBAY and bid on a bet.LOL

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DEB!---I left you a 'sleep in today' note on the last blog!!---NO!--NO!---I am sure you want to enjoy every moment of the day!!---ho!

normabyrd said...

WANDA!---Have you never gone to CHARLES TOWN RACES?---It's FUN!!!

Costume Lady said...

I don't think our Bird Girl, Delphia has posted this yet, but she now has 2 more Diamond Doves that have recently hatched. If you will recall, last month she had one baby to hatch and it died. So let's wish her luck with these sweet twins!I have posted a photo of them on my WILD AND WONDERFUL.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning ALL in Eagleland

Prayers for Mits pain and healing.

Thinking of Paula's walk today.

Jim that is a "Sign Up" box under comments.

Great video Paula thanks brings back memories.

normabyrd said...

Has anyone heard how MITS is feeling today?----she must have had a hard fall!----bless her heart---

deb said...

I tried to sleep in, Norma, but woke up bright and early.

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning Deb. How would you grade your first week at work, from 1-10 (10 being the best)?

Costume Lady said...

No, Norma, I was at the Charles Town race track many years ago and bet on a horse (in mind only), strictly on his looks. He won! That is my one and only visit to the track. Maybe we should all go to Charles Town Race Track after we get finished Nest Watching on the 23rd! They have a very nice restaurant there.

Costume Lady said...

Mema Jo and I have been tryiing to get a Nest Visit scheduled, but have had conflicting schedules with Gene and the Eagle Express. He is going on his Spring Fishing Trip on the 30th, which would have been the first choice for the visit. We could go without the EE, but I think we all agree that haveing the EE there is much more convenient than not. The dining room won't be open, so we will have lunch from the EE. And then, perhaps, Dinner somewhere of our choosing.

deb said...

That is a good question, I think maybe a 7. Biggest things are one very irritating classmate, 2 is no windows, not one! It was interesting, we did things to help make the day go faster.

deb said...

Fish delivery!

deb said...

That is one hungry eaglet.

Lolly said...

Good morning!

Deb, understand about no windows. That would drive me up the wall!!

Watching nest. Trying to feed Hidey spegetti?

deb said...

Norma, you have to pick a new horse, I Want Revenge was scratched by the owners.

normabyrd said...

DEB---I can surely feel your pain!!----I worked with a gal who knew nothing about the law---but she could KISS-UP!!----YUCK!---

Lolly said...

Sure wish we had sound.

Costume Lady said...

Don't know what that was that Belle was trying to feed Hidey, but they sure had a tug of war with it. LOL

Costume Lady said...

Deb, there is always one of those in every crowd or bunch of people. Why is that? My Grandma used to tell me that the Lord was testing me:)

deb said...

Hidey has the fish now, but isn't getting any bites yet.

normabyrd said...

AAAHHH!---DEB!---Don't tell me!--I haven't had news on this am!!!----(I LOVED THAT NAME)---who are you betting on DEB?---DUNKIRK??

Lolly said...

Looks like Hidey is feeding himself.

OK is still down....lack of sun. We have not had much sun recently. More rain and thunderstorms today. Just cloudy right now.

Lolly said...

Look at that Hidey chow down!

deb said...

I don't know who I am betting on, I probably won't even watch it.

Lolly said...

Hidey needs to learn to stand on his food to tear it off.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' LOLLY!!---Do you all have any 'inside tips' for the KENTUCKY DERBY????---(i am a woman without a horse) ho!

deb said...

I wonder when Paula's walk started. She might have seen that fish delivery this morning.

deb said...

I want to go to the nest and tell Hidey to use your talons!

normabyrd said...

The LOON is nesting----will be hard to see if or when she lays another egg!!!-----

normabyrd said...

DEB---I don't think PAULA has been on this am!!---JIM was 1st at 5---will check!

Lolly said...

No inside tips here! Only time I bet on a horse I did good though. Won a few dollars. HOWEVER, Jack did not do so good and his bet loss cancelled out my bets. Boo Hiss! That was 44 years ago on our honeymoon. We were in New Mexico at Ruidoso. But, hey, the marriage has lasted anyway.

Lolly said...

I imagine her walk started early. Would have loved to have joined her. What a great place to walk.

Lolly said...

She is going to get nest pictures!!!!

ceil said...

Good morning all. Have not heard from Helen yet. Will call later. Giving her time to rest.
Mary Marg and I were at Churchill Downs years ago. Wonderful old race track. We had a mint julep they say it is a ladies drink. Whoo. No lady after a few of them. Just about straight bourbon.

deb said...

I was hoping she was at the nest to get pictures of the fish fly-in!

Lolly said...

Okay guys and gals, time to get this bod moving. Things to do, no places to go, just company coming. Going to make Sopapilla Cheesecake. (I will only taste it myself)

BBL (Maybe!)

Have a great Saturday!

deb said...

The loon is off the nest again.

normabyrd said...

WOW!---WOW--WOW!!----Did you folks see our 'BABY' showing us she knows what those WINGS are for!!----SHE is practicing!!-----showing what a BIG BIRD she is!!!!!!!!!

deb said...

It is amazing how big her wings are, 8 weeks old today, I think.

normabyrd said...

You are so FUNNY---LOLLY!---I could have told you what the reaction would be at the race track!!----I went through that a couple of times----IT'S PAR THE COURSE!---ho!---

wvgal_dana said...

No you are right Norma Paula has not been on this AM. Last nights comments said she was leaving early.

Yep great wing exercising. This morning I watched Hidey as parent was in nest with her. When parent flew out you could just tell Hidey was thinking "I want to come with you".

normabyrd said...

DEB---Check blog---PAULA was last on blog at about 10:30 yesterday---say she will see us after the walk!!

normabyrd said...

DANA!----Maybe she was just 'throwin' a TANTRUM'---She really put on a show!!---cool---

wvgal_dana said...

Duke Farms one eaglet was putting grass on one of the other two eagles lol

normabyrd said...

I should write that down DEB!---Yesterday---people were asking about her age!---thank goodness---JO was watching!!----

movin said...

There is a feedin goin on at BWE now.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Jim ( :

normabyrd said...

The OREGON EAGLE still on nest!!---Any news about that site?

wvgal_dana said...

BWE nest empty must be on branches.

deb said...

The walk started at 9 AM this morning. I googled it.

deb said...

There is just the one egg, Norma, hatch date is around May 14.

wvgal_dana said...

Norman today is 23 days of incubation for Oregon 1 egg.

normabyrd said...

The FINLAND NEST----has '2 MAGNIFICENT OSPREYS' in the nest!!
LIFE IS GOOD!!!----favorite!!

wvgal_dana said...

Eaglet Parent at Libby Dam trying to see if feeds 1 chick or 2?

wvgal_dana said...

NBG eaglets just swinging along.

Can't tell very much at Libby Dam. Guess will know more as 1 or 2 get bigger.

normabyrd said...

DANA!---I have a lunch date at 11:30---Wanted you to check out the PEREGRINE FALCON at the PA site!!!---I was watching---She has at least 3 or 4 hatched little one---she is trying to keep them under her wings---SO COOL!----later!

hedgie said...

Morning all!
No, Deb, Hidey is 7 wks. old today. But looks older!!
Don't know what time Paula's walk was to start, but sure she is in to it now.
Wanda, dinner at the track would be a really good plan in my opinion....haven't been there in a coople of years...but nice parking garage, and plenty of places to choose from to eat....always found their buffets superb!
Norma, check your email for one from Jo about the nest visit!! Think it was Th.

hedgie said...

I sure suspect that there is an egg at Finney water---she is almost always roosting whenever I look.
My barn swallow nest has a hatch---can hear a little one peeping. Can't see into it--up too high.
Jim is right about the Sign Out link...that IS definitely new.

deb said...

Thanks, Lynn, I wondered if I was a week off! The grass isn't drying out, so I am reversing my plans. I am off to run errands and I am taking the Kayak with me. I will see what I can sneak up on at Lake Yankton.

hedgie said...

Have fun, Deb! Be safe.
Know what you mean about no windows...I worked without any for 28 yrs!

hedgie said...

Our forecasted nice day ISN'T....breezy and bit chilly and clouds have rolled in...looking like rain. Hope Paula doesn't get caught in a downpour!

hedgie said...

Forgot to mention that I heard from Red. He's been lurking and is okay.

Mema Jo said...

Good Early Afternoon!
I have been up and about and around and still busy around here! My 2 sons visited this mid am hour - that was nice
coffee time! I will be on & off today - things to get organized!

Adult and Hidey are having lunch!
Thinking about Paula all morning!

BBL

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Hedgie for the info about Red.
I do miss his conversation and also I wish IN Dave would check in and maybe have some new pics for us!

BBL

Mema Jo said...

ALSO thinking about MITS big time & hope she has found a comfortable position in which to sit/lie. Take care our friend!
I will look up the weather......

ceil said...

Lib just flew out and Hidey watched him fly way off. Like where are you going. Can I come. Aww Think I will give helen a call

ceil said...

Wind blowing at Hornsby really hard.

ceil said...

Red we sure do miss you. Please stop in.
Jo No answer at Helen's. She may be in the shower.

wvgal_dana said...

WOW I didn't have a "Sign OUT" now I do...where did it come from in that short time. lol Gremlins in my computer again changing things around. Cause when Jim said that I went to look and I didn't have it.
Them Gremlins just playing around inside this machine again lol

hedgie said...

It is really hard to find that comfortable position, Ceil....poor Mits.
I've been wondering about Dave, too...maybe he's on another trip...he really needs a laptop so he can post pics when he's away!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Red hope today is a good day for you ( :

Costume Lady said...

If Helen is taking only Celebrex for her pain...it ain't gonna work!
I take it for my arthritis (knee and fingers) and it just takes the edge off. I feel certain that her ribs hurt a whole lot more than I do. She needs the BIG GUNS! Bet she has some left-over from her surgery. Needs a sleeping pill until she is comfortable enough to sleep without pain. What do you say, Lynn?

Costume Lady said...

RED, I'm betting that you will feel better if you get on here and chat with us. I guess Mrs. Red is home for the weekend and you aren't 'putering on the weekend.
Take care...we do miss having you on here:)

movin said...

Hey, both O's are on the 'Finny' nest. He brought some dinner for her ... fish again.

Which reminds me: Suzanne was saying that she can't download pics from that site anymore ... Adobe Flash ... this year. So I was wondering if anyone with video capture software might send her (and maybe me) some stills from time to time.

Thanks.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

movin said...

The female on the other Finnish nest might be setting on an egg now.

It's almost dark, and she is still laying in the nest bowl as though she either has an egg or is about to lay one.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

ceil said...

Wanda she did have some left over from her surgery and that was not even helping. I agree she needs something stronger but a lot of medications make her sick. Don't need her stomach upset. I took Motrin when I fractured my rib. Doctor told her to take Aleve. She can tolerate that.

movin said...

Morning, Ceil. I haven't read the details on Mits.

How many ribs did she break and how badly??

Tell her I'm thinking of her, praying for her and hoping for a fast recovery.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

Bob Quinn said...

Wow, sorry to hear about Mits.

Just had an osprey eating a fish in my backyard in Easton (technically in a tree on the other side of the back alley). I was sitting in the back after having mowed the lawn and heard the unmistakable chirping. I took over 500 shots. Hopefully one of them will come out. ☺

momsmiley said...

Does anyone know the name of the male Eagle @ Shepherdstown? I'm sorta getting it may be "Liberty"? I gather Mom is "Belle" and baby is "Hidey"!! Thanks in advance!

wvgal_dana said...

Since Mits can't take too much med. I hope the Aleve the dr. said to take will give her some relief.

movin said...

Yes, Smiley, The male is called Liberty and the female Belle.



C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Welcome Momsmiley yes you are correct in the names.

WOW Bob can't wait to see those pictures!!!!

momsmiley said...

Thanks, WV Gal!! I'm a WV gal too!!

wvgal_dana said...

What area Momsmiley?
I'm Eastern Panhandle but we have others on South in WV.

momsmiley said...

Southern....Fayette County!

wvgal_dana said...

We have Bluefield WV, Beckley, darn now I'm forgetting. When Sharon comes on she knows. We call them the "Southern Delecation". There have been more joining and they might have a meet up.

momsmiley said...

Poor Hidey...she just can't seem to get comfortable! When she stretches...just look at that wing span...WOW...unbelievable for just a baby!

momsmiley said...

I am definitely "HOOKED"...LOL...I can't quite watching!! I'm just north of Beckley...small town...Oak Hill!! Thanks for a warm welcome!!

Costume Lady said...

DANA, we have another WV gal in Mullins...can't remember her name:(

momsmiley said...

Sorry...I meant I can't QUIT watching!!

Costume Lady said...

Yes, our Southern Delegation is GROWNING!:)

momsmiley said...

My name? It's Sherrill

Costume Lady said...

My hubby says there are a lot of good basketball and football players from Oak Hill;)

Costume Lady said...

Well, Sherrill, glad to meet you and good to have you join our family!

momsmiley said...

I suppose....my baby is 26!! He LOVED soccer....but a graduate of OHHS and Marshall University!

wvgal_dana said...

Sherrill you are very close to Sharon and her sister Sissy (Beverly) of Bluefield.
They have come up here several times to NCTC to the nest and dinners we have.

Have you been watching long?

momsmiley said...

Thanks, CostumeLady! Have to do a Wal-Mart run...LOL...catch you guys later!!

Costume Lady said...

Sherrill, I was speaking of the new blogger from Mullins, WV...I can't remember her name...I have been off and on here, very little the past few days, so I am not picking up on names.

Costume Lady said...

Have a good day and join us again soon:)

wvgal_dana said...

Join us back again Momsmiley...it was nice talking with you. This is a fun group !!!

wvgal_dana said...

Bibee is from Mullen WV not far from Beckley. Sara is from Beckley.
Sharon and Beverly are from Bluefield. I still believe there are others. Can't think of all them wish Sharon was here.

ceil said...

Jim, doctor did not say how many. She is suppose to go back next week.
Wow Bob. Let's see those pictues.
Dana she did take Aleve when it first happened and it did not help. So she took the left over pain pills. They did not help.
Welcome momsmiley keep coming back.
Wanda so many new people. I cannot keep up but will if they come back.I have a hard enough time keeping the nest straight.

ceil said...

Hornby chick is very vocal and wants out from under mom. Hidey pruning.

wvgal_dana said...

NBG eaglets are getting fed.

ceil said...

I just got in touch with Jay. Helen is still in a lot of pain. It will take awhile.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Ceil for the Info.
I sure hope the ribs heal quicker then usual... Praying for some relief for her. ((hugs to Helen ))

Mema Jo said...

I NEED A CHEAT SHEET So many newcomers - I think it is wonderful! And it is so awesome that we are all coming to the right Nest!!! I love having to remember back to give some of these answers to their questions!

Happy 7th Week Birthday Hidey

Mema Jo said...

I have been sending out May ecards and trying to help my gd's get this 50th Birthday bash put together for next Sat.

It is fun letting them do the planning and good ole mema being their with the
moola! Which reminds me that it is Bill paying time......

ceil said...

BBL Have to go to the store and right out some cards and get ready for Mass.

Mema Jo said...

All right now (before a panda nap strikes) I want to get the message together about a planned NEST VISIT/LUNCH/DINNER for MAY 23rd, Saturday.

It will come thru Momsters' email and will also be posted on this very special blog!

BBL

wvgal_dana said...

Mema Jo make sure those hugs for Helen are E A S Y hugs

Mema Jo said...

((( Gentle Squeezes )))

paula eagleholic said...

Afternoon, all!

Finally back! Had a nice 5K walk...it rained for about the first 15 minutes, then it cleared up and the sun came out. They had a nice turnout. The walk was all on the NCTC roads. It started at the Commons Bldg, then to the Admin, then past the nest and daycare, then up by the guards shack, then back to the Commons. Walked w/ a nice lady from Hedgesville named Shirley.

Afterwards, I stopped and watched the nest for an hour....at first, Hidey was sitting in the nest...around 10:30...then he layed down, and all I could see was a wing flap or two.

Liberty and Belle were right off the back of the nest...I have a couple of good pics that show where they perch. The hour was pretty quiet.

Then went to Betty's for Breakfast. Shepherdstown had a Mayday parade to welcome spring...got a couple of pics.

Then stopped and shopped at Lowe's and Wallyworld on the way home, picked up some trees, veggies and flowers...

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, they said an adult was in the nest when we walked by...it was hard for me to tell, as I didn't bring the binocs on the walk.

wvgal_dana said...

Osprey Nest a Maine
1 egg laid April 27th 2nd egg laid April 30th. They have named the Male Osprey "Frank" and the Female Osprey "Hedy"
MAINE LIVE OSPREY CAM

paula eagleholic said...

Gotta go throw the ball for the dogs, they are crazy...bbialw.

Hidey is up and preening.

Mema Jo said...

Great that you have had such a good day, Paula! We have all been thinking of you.
So is it a great looking T-Shirt?
Proud of you taking time out from work to do this!

ceil said...

Sounds like a good walk Paula and a good day.

paula eagleholic said...

The tshirt is orange, and has a running bird on the front, and the list of sponsors on the back....it's OK

paula eagleholic said...

So I guess I missed the fish delivery on my walk...that was when I was heading back to the Commons building...the walk took 50 minutes for me.

paula eagleholic said...

OH, and the turtle crossing sign is gone now! There is a sign now that says "watch out for children" instead.

And there wasn't much action down by the pond by the daycare center.

paula eagleholic said...

Trying to find one good pic to put on the EM blog...gotta go out and plant before the rains come

NatureNut said...

Afternoon Everybody!
Just saw Spidey crawling around the tree in bottom left of pic. Working behind Hidey's back!

NatureNut said...

Just read back a little---sounds like a great place to walk, Paula!
I've got to get back outside--planting annuals in pots.

hedgie said...

Hi again.
Yes, Dana, I agree about the Celebrex...I posted last night that she should be taking something like Tylenol w/ Codiene inbetween doses of Celebrex. I can't believe the doctor saying to use Aleve because it has some of the same proprietary properties as Celebrex or Advil...it's a no-no to take any other NSAID if taking Celebrex....doctors really are pretty dumb when it comes to meds....pharmacist usually warns about it.

hedgie said...

Welcome to momsmiley. I think that some of the southern delegation WERE going to hook up today at the Three Rivers Aviary. Never heard their final plans.
Bob, 500 pics...wow!!! Can't wait to see what you end up with!
Congrats, Paula, on your successful walk!

paula eagleholic said...

OK, got a couple of pics posted...gotta go dig in the dirt...

Eaglet Momsters Blog

paula eagleholic said...

Oh and Lib is on the left, Belle on the right...easy to tell apart!

hedgie said...

Hi, Loretta....bye, Loretta!

Mema Jo said...

Would love to get my hands on the
"Turtle Crossing" sign - it was a beauty. Paula has a pic of it somewhere!

Mema Jo said...

Paula's photos of the sycamore tree with the entire family visible is beyond
all words! I need that for my avatar, Paula. Help! Mainly the send pic.
Unless you are going to use it.....
I'll pay big $ for it!... lol

Mema Jo said...

BBILW

ceil said...

Wow. Paula, they are really great pictures.
Loved the video of the turtle.
Fed the fish.
Lynn and Dana I really do not know what she is taking. He did say Aleve but then I think he decided Celebrex. She is in too much pain to talk. I am going to be late for Mass. BBL

NatureNut said...

Hidey was doing wingercises, but getting done when I saved pic. Will put on blog. Still cam not working-stuck on 5 AM.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Jo, Paula took a picture of the turtle crossing sign with me, Sissy and Mattie.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And, WOW, our southern delegation does keep growing.

magpie said...

I have several pictures of the Turtle Crossing sign, Mema, with what looks like Poop Shoot on it....but they are the Old-Fashioned type of pictures, can't post them.

Great Pictures Paula ! And Great Report of the Walk, so glad you could go ! Proceeds are for a good cause, education!

You guys have been chatty today, all interesting.

Mits, Prayers continue for you, hope you can feel our vibes! xo

magpie said...

I think the one with the Bluefield gals and the Turtle Sign is in our pile of pics here on the computer somewhere...back from Nest visit in June 2008 or maybe the Open House, or, both...

Hope it continues to be a great day for everyone.

magpie said...

Uugh, sleeping in the daytime, not my preferred choice unless it is a voluntary Panda Nap !

magpie said...

A couple of Mint Juleps, and I could forget ALL ABOUT WORK !

magpie said...

With no active still cam, I hope our folks that couldn't get Live cam up before, can get it today !

magpie said...

Hey Sharon, how was the flea marketing today? Get any fleas ?

NatureNut said...

I think thw Turtle Xing pic w/the Bluefield ladies was in the June '08 Trip pics.
That's right!!! Kentucky Derby Day!! Gotta finish up outside & watch the race!

magpie said...

I just checked the Momsters albums and cannot find June 2008 visit, think maybe under Paula's pics somewhere, I am going to run out of time to find it today, just looked thru Wanda's pics too, I know that pic is in here somewhere!Or maybe Sissy's pics! That would be a good place to check..

time to start getting ready for work...back in awhile...

xo

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Here is the turtle sign pic! It was on the eaglet momsters.

hedgie said...

Paula, your pics are great!!! Perfect aspect showing how big Hidey is, and how watchful our adults are!
What kind of comments did you hear from people around you who were maybe not familiar??

hedgie said...

Yep, that's it, Sharon...I was just looking for it in my downloads...but couldn't find it....think I already put it on a disc...so i won't look anymore!

hedgie said...

Margy, clock is counting down to your shift. Hope it's a quiet one for you.

Bibee said...

Hey to all! Sure is nasty weather here in Mullens. I have been out with one of my girlfriends. We went shopping for the day. Had a great time no matter what the weather was. Which loon site do you all watch? Also, what about the link to the Norfolk nest? I'm trying to add these to my favorites list. I appreciate all the good info posted on here. I would love to meet everyone for a lunch or dinner. That sounds great! I can't do it on the 23rd because my niece is getting married but maybe next time I could drive up.

Bibee said...

I've got a small problem and I need help, please. When I get on the computer and try to leave my first comment on here, I get the message that it doesn't recognize my password. So, I go back and create the same account and then I can leave the comment. What am I doing wrong? I know you all will be able to help me. Thanks! Just love that Hidey Bird!!

momsmiley said...

Bibee..the same thing happens to me too!

magpie said...

Time to Go!

Bibee and Momsmiley, I am not much help but I am sure help will show up on here!

Good Afternoon and Evening to all....Prayers for Wellness and Safety for all...

xo ☺ ♥

magpie said...

Nice goin' Sharon, Great to see that Picture again! And all those smiling beautiful faces!

xoxo TTFN

Mema Jo said...

ROFLMBO You got the Turtle sign

momsmiley said...

Is anyone watching Hidey right now?? Is that Lib at the top and Belle near the bottom?? Oops, before I could post this...one flew away!! I gather this is Belle feeding???

paula eagleholic said...

In to watch the Derby...done planting

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Hey Eagle buds, blogging from the boat. There is a wireless hot spot right hare at the dock where we keep our boat! It just doesn't go to the campground or out in the lake very far. Tom likes to fish from the dock in the evenings, so I can blog while he fishes. Now if I can just figure out what to do about this glare!!

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey is feeding himself!

paula eagleholic said...

Well he was picking at a nestover....

paula eagleholic said...

Sorry, I didn't see the adult, momsmiley

paula eagleholic said...

He is still picking at the nestover....looks like a big ol fish bone

momsmiley said...

Yeah...Hidey is alone now...but the others were in there too when I posted the blog....BTW....is Hidey a male or female or does anyone really know for sure yet? I'm so new at all of this!!! Sorry!!

hedgie said...

Almost afraid to watch the Derby...sure couldn't go through what we did 2 yrs. ago w/ Barbaro again.
Have to leave at 6:45 for Homeowner's Assoc. meeting....don't remember what Posttime is....guess it will go off before I have to leave.

paula eagleholic said...

Hey, Sissy

Have ya'll created a google account? I think that's what you need to sign in without problems....

I talked to a lady at Betty's who had done the run...she was out there checking out the nest also. They also saw some other sort of stick nest near the eagles nest, but when she went to look for it, she couldn't spot it again. Said there was a whitish bird in it...she thought osprey. I told her I didn't think they would nest so close to an eagle. I wish she had said something when we were both looking at the nest.

I didn't really talk to anyone else about the nest except the lady I walked with...told her about the cam and blog and our visits...maybe she'll stop in...her name was Shirley.

Hidey is just as content as can be! Paula, I loved the turtle video, got Tom to watch it too. I am sucking him in more and more to watching the eagles!

What is wrong with the eagle's beak at HI?

I love knowing from what state our nesters come!

I am getting ready for dinner
I'll be back and get to know you all much better!!

Hi Bibee...really no way to know for sure what sex Hidey is--it would take a DNA study of a feather, I think the experts have said before. We have suspicions that she's a she only because she looks so big.
As to the password....my first post every time I log on won't go through and it says something aobut password not being right...I sometimes have to re-enter it two or three times to get it to go through---don't know why!

Jo, sent you the pic

Momsmiley...we won't ever know whether Hidey is male or female...the eaglet won't be banded, measured or DNA tested

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

It looks like an injury, but the glare is so bad out here on the boat that I can't be sure. Has anyone else seen it?

hedgie said...

Oh, no! Traffic hazard on the interstate...ducks in the road! Hope they don't get hit......sounds like Margy dispatching.

Sissy - are you talking about one of the chicks or adults at HI

Someone asked about the loons....Minnesota loons...

momsmiley said...

Thanks, Hedgie!! The question about Hidey's sex was from me...and thanks to all who helped with the password problem! I completed my profile, etc., and now everything is working just fine!! Everyone has been so extremely helpful and kind to this "newby"!! Sorry for all the questions...but I'm just addicted!!! Does anyone have an idea when Hidey will take flight??? Just a guess...I hope I don't miss it!!!

Those links were on seperate lines when I previewed it...duh! But they work independently!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

It was a parent Paula, not the one there now. So no one has seen anything? Maybe I am tripping! Lord I hope so!!

LOL! Can you imagine riding down the interstate and there be ducks in the road!!? Hope no one hits them really, though!

Mine That Bird won--complete upset...50-1 odds!!!

momsmiley said...

I was going with "Join In The Dance"

paula eagleholic said...

Great Derby race...50 to 1 odds for Mine that Bird....someone made some money on that horse!

The guy didn't say 'and down the stretch they come' :(

NatureNut said...

Mine the Bird won the Derby! Good name ☺

paula eagleholic said...

Split is coming

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey will take first flight between 10 and 12 weeks....eaglet is 7 weeks old today.

And don't apologize for being hooked on watching...we all are :):)

Boy that track is muddy

paula eagleholic said...

Sissy - I haven't been watching HI, so I can't call you crazy!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

This is a great addiction, believe me!! I have 8-10 cams going at a time most of the time when I am working, between eagles and pandas. Used to make fun of Eagle-Eyed Sharon (my sister)!
