Hey Lolly:) I've got no g or t here....

Kimm said...

Siiiigh. Am I the only one getting a little worried? I can't get anything done for stopping by the 'puter to check and see if Hidey has returned. The adult in the nest seems concerned, too...or maybe I'm just projecting a bit. =)

Lolly said...

Can not believe the adult has been in the nest for so long. Trying to lure Hidey back to the nest?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, I am fretting a little bit myself but I am sure that Hidey is okay. I just wish we had a visual so we would know that for sure.

Lolly said...

Well, come on over here Megan!! I have diet tonic. LOL And lots of lime.....and maybe put a little G in it this time. Just to celebrate!

Lolly said...

I just wish Mom or Dad would quit looking around with a worried look on their face. LOL

floralgirl said...

Yeah, too bad it's not a weekday, Steve isn't around to look for us. I still believe Hidey is fine, just working up the courage to fly back to nest. Those first few flights are always a bit precarious.
Drink one for me, Lolly- If you lived closer I'd come sit in your beautiful garden.

Mits said...

well I have tried the diet tonic, and threw it out....yucky....I don't drink that often and I want the real thing when I do

magpie said...

Good Night Eagle Friends and Eagle Family, I am headed to the 911 Salt Mines...maybe little Eaglet will sack out in the nest and still be there in the morning when I get home

Best Wishes for a Great Evening, All.

Prayers, for all, Love and Peace ♥ xo

Mits said...

Megan I'd say I would have one for you, but if I had another, might fall off the balcony;)

Tammy said...

My husband is wondering where dinner is. I told him I'll go to the kitchen after Hidey gets home.

Mits said...

it is a beautiful night here tonight, calm warm breeze and ocean is calm.....

Mits said...

geez, Tammy, poor guy might starve by then

Unknown said...

I've been watching and following DF since March and started following Virginia since the beginning of April sometime...Watching them grow up is so beautiful..i've been fortunate to be able to watch both of them from 6am till bedtime every day....i probably have 200 pictures and am going to get some blown up and make a collage... mom's been calling out once in awhile for her and I can tell she is looking/waiting for her...come home sweety!! you need to eat!!

Lolly said...

Well, dont drink another, Mits!! Don't want to loose you!

I drink diet all the time. While on the diet it has been virgin G&T's.

Tammy said...

Mits, he won't starve, that is what they make Wendy's for.

:)

Lolly said...

Parent chowing down in the nest. Bet Hidey is hungry!

floralgirl said...

When you say virgin g&t, that means you don't add the tonic, right....
I should probably not drink right now, fell down about an hour ago, and I was sober.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Whoever asked a while ago if anybody saw a shadow -- I did but figured I was hallucinating or just wishful thinking.

Do you all remember last June when we were at the nest and one of the fledglings had to make multiple attempts to get back up to the nest? That was several days after they had fledged.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Megan, did you hurt yourself?

Mits said...

yes Lolly diet is ok in a pinch, but it doesn't seem to have the fizz I like....no more for me, have only eaten a sandwich today and I don't need to fall down again....hope you are ok Megan

floralgirl said...

I'll survive, caught my foot on floating row cover as I was watering, and fell down , cut my knee and hand, but not too bad. You know how a little while after you fall, everything you landed on starts to ache...that's where I am right now, came in to get aspirin.

Lolly said...

Wrong! Alcohol is fattening!

Yes, Megan.....injure yourself?

Lolly said...

Oh, Megan! So sorry!!

Mits said...

yep, know the feeling, Megan

Mits said...

Rhinna, you do know this nest of Hidey's is in WVA, not Virginia, right:)?

Lolly said...

Now this is where the gin might make it all feel better!

floralgirl said...

At least nothing is broken, and when I came in, kid got me band aids and neosporin... I taught her well.

Lolly said...

Red Rover, Red Rover let Hidey come over.

Hidey, Hidey come out from where ever you are!!

Lolly said...

You'll have bruises tomorrow!

Lolly said...

Jack says it is feeling good out right now, so I am heading out. My brunch was a big success today. We had fun. Now my house is clean and I have nothing to do. Wahoo!

BBL

floralgirl said...

Well, I added some vodka to my Vitamin water, it's a V&V - to dull the pain. I gotta go cut flowers. Hope that eaglet flies back in while I'm gone.

hedgie said...

Poor Megan...hope it gets better fast....I'll drink a G&T for you--don't have any limes, tho'! But still good anyway! Or a Bloody Mary would taste good, too! But after to wait awhile..eldest gd is here w/ her uncle, playing step'n'fetchit while he finishes up soffits.

Lolly said...

Megan, wish ish you could come and sit with me in the yard. Everyone is so kind....received lots of compliments today. But, you know, I am just doing what I want to do.

Costume Lady said...

Lolly, I was thinking on those same lines...Megan is so tired, she probably needs a G&T or something like that;) Might make her walk straighter. Tee Hee

Lolly said...

LOL Lynn, did you see that typo? I "wish ish" you could come over too.

Lolly said...

Great Wanda! You are here! Time for a road trip to Lolly's for a G & T in the back yard. Would that not be the greatest!!!!!

Costume Lady said...

I noticed that, Lolly, thought you might have had a G&T;)

Costume Lady said...

That would be a ROCKIN trip, Lolly. LOL Yahoo!!

Lolly said...

No, no drink yet, just typing with a Texas drawl.

Lolly said...

I would be the happiest person ever to be able to have a bunch of you momsters sit out back with me. More fun!

Costume Lady said...

LMBO!

Costume Lady said...

I would love to be able to do that, maybe pull a travel trailer for everyone to sleep in. We can sleep only 6 in the EE.
Would love to visit the next trip out to Vegas (if costume show is still there).

Costume Lady said...

I'm tired of waiting on Hidey to come and eat...I'm hungry too. BBL

Lolly said...

Okay, can see it now. Your RV pulling a travel trailer. What a hoot! A rolling slumber party!

Lolly said...

Well, I said I WAS going outside and I didn't......so guess I better do it now.

BBL

Tammy said...

Anybody else hear that distant calling? Could that be Hidey?

It is 6:23pm.

momsmiley said...

Everyone in Fayette County, WV is wishing you well, little Hidey!!!!

momsmiley said...

The adult is keeping an eye out on something....she is looking all around!!

hedgie said...

Drat! Susan Boyle didn't win "Britain's Got Talent"...she was 2nd. A group called Diversity won. Too bad. I'm sure Chrissy is disappointed, too.

Stevie from Kentucky said...

Both parents in nest!!

momsmiley said...

Both adults are in the nest now...anyone watching????

Stevie from Kentucky said...

Parent brought a fish!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, I sure would like to see Hidey coming in there with the parents.

momsmiley said...

Both adults are chowing down....come home, Hidey...you MUST be hungry!!!!

deb said...

Both adults on the nest. I am done painting for the day, got off to a slow start waiting for the water to dry off. I just have a little priming left to do, on the roof. I stepped onto the west facing side and it was hot! Too hot for bare feet. I will get that done first tomorrow. No scraping tomorrow, should go much faster.

Safire said...

Hello, am new to this chat. Does anyone know when the lett flew off. Is there a recorded video of eaglet leaving nest.

hedgie said...

There's not going to be any food left in the nest when Hidey finally comes home! Adult is really chowing down.

Costume Lady said...

I think we all need a laugh or two right about now...go to my SMILES:):) BLOG and read about the 88 year old driver:)

deb said...

It happened early this morning, before most of us were up. We hope the camera at NCTC has it, but since it is a weekend we aren't sure if there is anyone there to save it.

hedgie said...

We don't know whether Hidey flew off or whether he is just branching and maybe afraid to come down...has not been seen since before dawn. Momster Wanda went to nest this am to see whqat she could see....could not see Hidey anywhere in the tree, but foliage much more dense than it was when we were there last weekend.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, Sissy's husband Tom, came back from the fishing trip a couple of weeks ago, found a tick on his butt, now he has Lyme disease. Daggone, this is sucking!

hedgie said...

Deb, how do you climb a ladder barefoot???? Please be careful!!

hedgie said...

Well, thank goodness Tom is getting treatment right away! Sissy probably recognized symptoms and scooted him and his butt straight off to the Dr., right Shar?

deb said...

I climbed up in my flip flops, got on the roof and decided that wasn't a good idea. So I threw them to the ground. Tomorrow I will wear shoes. :)

Safire said...

Thx for the update. Was watching earlier & thought I heard sounds of young eaglet but didn't sound too close. Guess poor thing is gonna have to get up some nerve to fly back to nest. Hope it works out for Hidey.

Safire said...

Wonder if either parent knows where young one is.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Actually, Tom told her today that he had a round place around where he took the tick off and she told him to head to the ER. I guess it is like a bull's eye.

hedgie said...

That's such a funny story, Wanda! Haven't seen it in a long time!

Safire said...

On the other hand maybe Hidey discovered the joys & freedom of flying & will come back when Hidey good & ready.

momsmiley said...

Ok..Hidey...the nest is empty now....fly back in....uh oh....spoke too soon....one of the adults just flew back!

deb said...

Parent arrived and I thought I heard Hidey calling. Could be wishful thinking, though.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Parent left and then came right back. Wonder what they are doing?? Maybe trying to lure Hidey back in the nest?

deb said...

That would be my guess, Sharon. Trying to show her how to do it, maybe??

momsmiley said...

That's seems to be what everyone is thinking....I wish how soon it works!!

momsmiley said...

Every time I see the wind move a branch or I see a shadow...I think it's Hidey!!! LOL

wvgal_dana said...

Hi to ALL in Eagleland and I'm back after a nice crab leg dinner ( : yummy

Lolly are you sure there wasn't any alcohol in that drink?

See by comments on this side need to look at other comments after I left. That Hidey hasn't landed back in nest yet.

Costume Lady said...

Lynn, that one is new to me. My daughter sent it to me yesterday and I was still laughing when we went to the restaurant. By that time, GeeGee had read it too and she also was still laughing about it at the restaurant. SHE IS AN 88 YEAR OLD DRIVER;)

wvgal_dana said...

Oh my prayers for Tom --- Lyme disease not a good thing to have.

Costume Lady said...

If Hidey doesn't come back tonight, I will go back to the tree tomorrow after Gene gets home. He has better eyes than I.

Costume Lady said...

Sharon, how funny is that for Tom to have a BULL'S EYE on his butt?
He will be fine, having caught it before it spread. Dustin had the bull's eye and a rash all over his body. He apparently had it for a long time before anyone realized it. He never complains, so no one knew until he got very sick.

Safire said...

Maybe parents trying to show Hidey way back to nest.

Costume Lady said...

Sounded like Hidey sneezing.

wvgal_dana said...

Was the whole fish and the whole mammal eaten or did a parent fly out of nest with some of it?

ltl said...

There sure seemed to be a lotta eatin' going on. Could be it was all et up.

Costume Lady said...

Dana, it looked to me as if Belle and Lib both brought food into the nest, one fish and one mammal and then Lib brought in another fish, and proceeded to it all.

Costume Lady said...

Belle may have left with the mammal, perhaps to feed Hidey, wherever that may be.

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Wanda cause I was wondering if they had left the nest with any of the food. If so they could have been feeding Hidey someplace else since he/she wouldn't come back to nest yet. So all of that food was ALL eaten by Liberty and Belle. It sounds like from what you are saying.

Owner said...

Hiley was in the nest after midnight last night. However he was perched on ythe East edge pruning his feathers. More than likely get ready for his early take off this morning.

Bob Bird

Gabriela said...

I hear a lot of barking...

wvgal_dana said...

Both white dogs are barking at the gate to the drive for the house on the curve.

wvgal_dana said...

When I visit the nest they always bark but they are very nice dogs. The one always brings me a stick lol

Costume Lady said...

Dana, I saw Belle struggling with the mammal, she pulled it over to the 2 o'clock position and I had to leave for a few minutes...when I came back, it was gone. I would like to believe she is feeding it to Hidey:)

Costume Lady said...

Dana, have your finches fledged yet and are the bluebirds still hanging around?

Mema Jo said...

Returned from Mass - beautiful flying evening weather out there! Go Hidey Go

I may be going over to Sheps'twn Market tomorrow & if I make it there I also will try to go check out the Sycamore Tree.. I am remembering that we used to admire Lib & Belle being able to come back into the MT nest after all eaglets of the season had fledged.

Mema Jo said...

Both adults and the 2 eaglets are in the Lake WA nest......

Mema Jo said...

Check out the barn owls on the Wild Watch site.... the 10 sec image update is best to view.

Costume Lady said...

Jo, I just loved being at the nest this morning. It was so peaceful and calm...the birds were singing their heads off and the sky was as clear as a tear. I could have stayed there all day, but when the farmers or caretakers came, I thought I'd better leave before I wore out my welcome...after all, I WAS at the BARN!

Tammy said...

CostumeLady..

If you end up returning to the tree tomorrow, the same limb that you saw Belle on, check the "v" above where she was sitting. To me, in that picture you took it looked like something was up there in that V. Probably 10 to 15' above where Belle was sitting.

Mema Jo said...

Wide view cam at Oklahoma has eaglet and then the adult is up above the nest

Mema Jo said...

All nests on Hancock site are ok! Chirping away at Delta, Sleeping at Sidney & Hornby.


Dogs are restless this evening over by our nest. At least I know my speakers and sound at the site are working.

wvgal_dana said...

Welcome back Mema Jo ( :

Wanda the Bluebirds have it. Just waiting to see how many possible 3 again for this year. I left it up to God finches or bluebirds. Finches had it then I went out one day and by george the bluebirds had it and still do.

Mema Jo said...

Wanda I am glad the farmers or caretakers were there and know why you were there. Maybe they will keep an eye out for Hidey!

Hidey had been sleeping in a perched position on the edge of the nest... so I'm thinking that if s/he is now on a branch - s/he is going to be very comfy!

Mema Jo said...

NCTC/FWS video is said to always be working - It isn't the same as what is on the internet for us. They should just need to edit the tape and give us Momsters/Dadsters what we want to see!
The famous Take Off!

Gabriela said...

Someone just landed on the camera!

Mema Jo said...

OK WHAT WAS THAT?

SOMETHING HIT THE CAM

PLEASE BE HIDEY

wvgal_dana said...

OH THAT WAS A HIT ON THE CAM!!!!

ltl said...

I hear that, Gabriela! Somebody's up there.

wvgal_dana said...

COME ON DOWN HIDEY

Mema Jo said...

COME ON DOWN

WHOEVER YOU ARE

glo said...

loud thud noise on top of camera

Lolly said...

I think Hidey is close by! I heard that, Jo.

Gabriela said...

It could be Hidey on the camera branch!! Sounded like some fast flapping and not the most graceful of landings, LOL!!

glo said...

ha ha well I had to reload the Blog had sort of given up seeing or hearing anything tonight so I am a wishful echo

ltl said...

I was just thinking the same thing, about not so graceful!

ltl said...

knock, knock!

hop on down, little one, if that's you.

that's you, isn't it, hidey. :)

Mema Jo said...

LOL Anticipation!

I hope whatever it is doesn't

disconnect us.........

ltl said...

oh, seriously! hang in there, camera & mic.

ltl said...

i was just about to get in the shower--- going to sing karaoke with coworkers in a little bit. they know all about the baby eagle.

Mema Jo said...

Yepper! Lisa I just don't know how to get down there!

Safire said...

Feels like am holding vigil.

ltl said...

hey, if i'm in the shower & that little bugger crashes on down into the ol' home-sweet-home, that's alright by me. but i hear ya on the vigil. fer sure.

wvgal_dana said...

Remember from Wanda's visit to nest this am. She said "Two of the farmers came up to me and said they had been watching him fly up to and on top of the camera, but he wasn't on the camera this time. I saw an unmoving dark spot on the limb near the camera and that would be my guess..."

So we know he has been on the cam before as we had thought.

Mema Jo said...

It sure must be Hidey - Lib & Belle have lived in that nest for years and I don't remember them playing with the mic! Lisa - Go sing your karaoke with friends! If Hidey comes into the nest tonight - Then I feel certain s/he was just branching today. MTBR

Lolly said...

Come on down Hidey! We know you are there!!!!!

Safire said...

Nice to hear Hidey so close to nest. Wonder what lett will do when it gets dark.

hedgie said...

I am really getting irritated....I have not been able to get the live cam up since this morning...argh!!!! At least shadows are gone now so pic is clearer on still cam....I can't imagine that I am seeing things now...until dark!

wvgal_dana said...

From the deep voice of Boris our spider: "I've watched Hidey all day and he has been up in the Sycamore Tree on the branches. Never left the tree."

Lolly said...

Dum tah dum dummmmmmmmmmmmm. We'll never know!

Mema Jo said...

I hear ya about the 'vigil'!

wvgal_dana said...

Hidey likes playing "Hide & Seek" tee hee

hedgie said...

Safire, who is lett???

Renee said...

Still no Hidey...

wvgal_dana said...

Jo maybe we should copy this blog so Suzanne can read it lol

Safire said...

Like watching your own leave & then sit & wait for return. If it takes too long yu start silently wondering 'come on, where are yu'.
Hidey, zat yu!

Mema Jo said...

GET YOUR FEATHERED

FANNY DOWN HERE .... NOW

wvgal_dana said...

Heard that ( :

ltl said...

she's just sitting up there on top of the camera, and wiggling back & forth, thinking about jumpin' down. that's my bet.

ltl said...

feathered fanny -- ha! you said it!

wvgal_dana said...

Jo Nate said that gorilla tape was good. I think we can all say it is for sure.

Colonel Sanders said...

The eaglette stretched at 4:50 Am and the wind lifted it out of the right side of the nest. It appeared very surprised and was unable to turn around and return to the platform. I was just walking out the door and was unable to post the news. I assumed more than one person witnessed the event but it appears not.

I'm sure the youngster is very close and possibly on a lower branch just to the right....out of camera range

Tammy said...

I keep waiting for whoever it is to bend over and look into the camera.

How do you ladies do this??!!

I am new to this and I am a nervous nellie right now!

Lolly said...

Oh, this is so funny! Here we sit, listening and watching....Hidey, we are loosing patience!!!!! COME ON DOWN THIS INSTANT! (Teacher...stern voice! as well as "the look!")

naturegirl said...

That's my guess too, ltl. Just making us all fret.

Colonel Sanders said...

The eaglette stretched at 4:50 Am and the wind lifeted it out of the right side of the nest. It appeared very6 surprised and was unable to turn around and return to the platform. I was just walking out the door and was unable to post the news. I assumed mopre than one person witnessed the event but it appears not.

Lolly said...

Really! We have a witness!

Safire said...

lett cropped up in a chat somewhere & think it stuck to me, probably short for eaglet; like 'nestorating' - means adding to or rearranging the nest branches, etc; flappersize - wing exercises. and so on. it's stuff that gets made up by some very creative chatters.

momsmiley said...

I just LOVE reading these blogs....you guys crack me up!!! I LOVE IT!!! Especially the "feathered fanny" one!!! Thanks!

glo said...

well thanks for that info Colonel Sanders...not sure what to make of it if Hidey wasn't preparing herself for flight but she certainly had hovered and did lots of wingersizing prior to that event. I trust she landed somewhere hopefully close by safely and is now on the camera I hope I hope but NOT disconnecting us...

Mema Jo said...

Oh Dana - I just now realized what you were saying about the Gorilla Tape being used instead of Duck Tape because it was stronger! Yepper! I do believe it is!

Lolly said...

It just seems like it has to be Hidey on or near the mic. We have never had Lib or Belle land there that I know of.

hedgie said...

Really too bad you didn't have time to post that eyewitness account this morning, Colonel!!
Oh, ok, Safire....that's a new one on us! We've never used the term lett here before.

glo said...

well I sure wish she would plop right down on that nest about now :-)

Safire said...

Hidey tappiing on mic to say, 'am ok' just a little scared to move.

Safire said...

sorry hedgie - didn't mean to confuse anyone.

Colonel Sanders said...

I've been watching closly but have yet to post in this blog. My opinion is she will fledge this weekend and be back in the nest reating soon

Mits said...

Lib and Belle have been fooling around with the mic all season..

Bibee said...

Hidey, you little poop shooter!!! Get down here so your mommies and daddies can get some rest! I am going nuts here!

wvgal_dana said...

Someone said on earlier blog that they seen Hidey in nest at 6AM this morning!

Mema Jo said...

Dana, The time would depend where you were located. I remember the 6am but will need to see from where that person was... Colonel could be 2 time zones over .... Just trying to get a good handle on the time in order to tell NCTC/FWS where to search on their tape.......

Colonel Sanders said...

I'm in the midwest so I saw her CST right before I walked out the door for work

carritt said...

I am an art teacher in Fayette County. My students and I have been watching Hidey daily. What a WONDERFUL lesson in pride and honor. Thank you.
I check on Hidey every night before retiring, she was sound asleep around 11 pm in the middle of her nest.

wvgal_dana said...

Rhiannon said...
I saw her this morning around 6am..she was hopping around the nest...i saw her jump by the cam area..i turned my back and she was gone..i thought at first she jumped up on the limb where she perches and we can't see her...been way to long with no sound from her or site..can't believe i missed her fly off as i was watching the cam except for that minute or two....wtg Virginia!! (that's what i call her)....Be safe in your journey and I will keep watching for you to return!! Your beautiful and I love and miss you already sweety!!!

Saturday, May 30, 2009 11:49:00 AM

glo said...

OK she's knocking now someone go let her in

carritt said...

Carrit-I am an art teacher in Fayetteville, WV. I teach at 4 schools, throughout the growing of Hidey, my students and I have watched. What an honor it is to observe this beauty. The students were so proud. I check it every night before I go to bed. Hidey was in the middle of her nest sleeping at 11 pm. We will miss her. Thank you for such a WONDERFUL learning experience.

momsmiley said...

See....I told you Fayette County was watching Hidey!!! Thanks for confirming that "Carritt" .... yes....I hear her knocking too...come one down, Hidey!!

momsmiley said...

I live in Oak Hill, and work in Fayetteville!! Small world!!!

Bibee said...

Don't forget Wyoming County has been watching too!!!

Mits said...

sure that is one of the parents near the cam, hidey would probably be making a noise. parents are usually very quiet when they are up in the nest.

Mits said...

moth flying around

glo said...

well soon she could just climb down on the magical spider web

momsmiley said...

Hello Wyoming County!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, we have lots of new people on here tonight.

I hate to report it to you but my "bird flew" is getting worse and worse.

wvgal_dana said...

Mema Jo 1 hr behind for Col.Sanders so that could make it about the same time R is that person is EST time. They would be about same time.

momsmiley said...

Another good one, Eagle Eye Sharon....."Bird Flew" .... LOL

glo said...

Sharon I have the same symptoms but there is a cure..hopefully we will find it soon LOL

Mema Jo said...

Us bunch of oldies have had 'Bird Flew' and then we get 'MT Nest Syndrome' for a very long time!
But we will survive!!!
We Will Survive!

The osprey eggs will be hatching soon!

BUT we didn't get a new panda cub to help us through the cold winter months!
But hopefully the MOOSE will return!
And we always have turkeys, squirrels, raccoons and deer in the PA WOODS!

Karne said...

I just found this site about a week ago and I have been glued to the computer. I am at work tonight and am able to have it on - so I don't miss anything. This has been an awesome experience and I love reading your commments. I think I have "bird flew" too!
I think Hidey is out way past curfew - I feel like an anxious parent waiting for an overdue teen!

anna bishop said...

Hi I am very concerned about our little Hidey she is usually very vocal and adament about her feeding times. I and my coworkers do here in a hospital in Minnesota that she is ok and mom and dad have located her and feeding her. I know alot of little birds are on the ground here in our state being fed by parents every day, so hopefully Hidey will show up soon in the nest or mom and dad are feeding her on the ground. God is with her somewhere that I know for sure.

Mema Jo said...

ANNA - My motto is to

KEEP THE FAITH!

Costume Lady said...

Hidey is on the top of the camera, just as the farmers/caretakers told me. Not to worry! Hear him?
That's not Woody Woodpecker;)

anna bishop said...

I think maybe Belle is trying to do Eagle camera telamessaging to tell us or someone to come help find Hidey...

wvgal_dana said...

Maybe that is Mom or Dad on the cam sending signals to Hidey. That the nest is still here waiting for you to drop down or fly in.

Lori O. said...

Hello Dana, Jo, Mits, Sharon, and all,

I just read that you have the Bird Flew, Sharon. Me too, bad!

Oh, my eaglet friends, I miss Hidey so much, but am so grateful to her for introducing me to you all.

Lori O. said...

Oh Wanda - glad you're here. Sorry I missed saying hello.

fauxfaye said...

I haven't been commenting here (well, once) but have been watching Hidey for many weeks now. This empty nest syndrome is tough! I am figuring most of you are old pros at watching this nest, and now that some of you sound worried, I am worried. Is this typical to fly off and not come back into the nest for this long on the first day? I hear all the thumping on the Web cam too...what other critters would possibly be up there - is it most likely one of the family?

anna bishop said...

I would love to believe that is Hidey but she hasn't eaten all day and she is never quiet when she is hungry or food is near. I was on line shortly after 7:30 CST this morning and she was not in the nest and no sound of Hidey calling for food. Thats got to be Belle or Liberty up there.....but God knows I hope I am wrong.

Lori O. said...

I hear the knocking, too.

Faye, there are many online here now who have watched this next for years, Like Sharon, Glo, Dana, etc.

I pray we get to see our Hidey one more time to at least say "farewell, you're always in our hearts, we love you and please let us see you back here in 5 years with your partner and eaglets in this nest." :)

come in:)

Yes that could be one of the parents up there at the cam. When Hidey was in the nest. We had heard this before. Some of us thinking it was one of the parents.
You can be sure though that wherever Hidey is. One of the parents or both know. They will not let Hidey go starve. If they have too they will take food to Hidey.

not unusual she has not come back...she is still very young for a fledgling

I am another one who has been watching for weeks without saying anything. I almost feel like I know some of you regulars. I had been worried about the wind last night and the way Hidey was flying around, but I was still surprised when I looked at the nest this morning and it was empty.

Hi Lolly!

Sharon warned me about the Bird Flew! I've cried a few times looking at this empty nest.

Nice to have friends now.

Wanda, Dana, Glo you all still here?

Hidey can and will be fed fish or any prey while s/he is perched on a tree limb. Hidey will make an appearance - most likely in the daylight hours - We will be able to see that everything is well with our Eaglet! And yes - it may not be as early as tomorrow but hopefully soon.

Lori when Hidey reaches about 4 yrs. old. A eagle gets the within knowledge to fly back to area where born and start their own nest and get a mate. Usually within a 100 miles of the nesting area they were born in. Hidey will not use this nest it is Liberty and Belle. Unless something God forbid would happen to both of them. Then maybe an earlier offspring would use this nest.

Lori O. said...

Thank you, Dana.

Comforting words, a very good reminder of how Belle & Lib are looking out for Hidey now.

Keep those positive reminders coming!
