So the silly little eaglet is still up in the tree somewhere...
Well Come On Over with your comments!
I didn't expect to be the #401
You all are too fast for this ole' Mema
Megan We sorta think it is Hidey up at the cam making all the knocking noises!
Sure sounds like it. Either that or Boris has gotten huge!
As you all know, Hidey is a NIGHT OWL. Belle and Lib have probably been asleep for a few hours now. I feel in my bones that is Hidey gropping around on the camera, trying to figure out how to get down. Remember, it is dark...Hidey cannot see the infrared light. He'll probably roost up there all night and we will see him in the morning:)
I hope that while Hidey is groping around up there, that he finds Boris and has him for a snack!
Yes I am still here....in and out back and forth...trying to find the cure for what ails us. I have special company coming tomorrow. They will not have any symptoms of bird flew but the littlest one is going to play with and see many stuffed eagles and have her first story read to her by Grandma about a baby eagle so she can get off on the right foot lOL.
LOL Wanda
I recall the fledgings of 2006 and 2008. I can't say that the waiting to see they made it back to the nest. Was any better knowing it would happen. Just a matter of when. We seem to be just as we are called even with the knowledge we have gained " Eaglet_Momsters ". We wait to see as you do for when we can see our eaglet again.
Hi everyone. I'm really late in letting you know I've been following this eaglet for weeks and I also have "bird flew." What a cute phrase. I'm constantly watching this eaglet, the Harrisburg falcons, the Philly Hawks, and the NJ eaglets. I'm wondering what happens when they're all fledged? What am I going to do? I've enjoyed reading your comments.
Welcome PA Nana. We are glad you are here. The fledgling hopefully will be in and out for a month or so. There are cams everywhere to watch but this is the one I watch all the time and have been since 2006.
To tamp down my bird flew symptoms I now have put up a split screen to watch a live feed of a hummingbird chick in a rosebush in California. Adorable. Hee. Tomorrow will check on the three eaglets in a nest on Duke Farms in NJ. They aren't as old as Hidey so will be there a little longer.
It helps to know that the men Wanda talked to this morning say Hidey moving around. If it hadn't been for that one little reassurance, we would all be a little worried as to where she was.
But I am most attached to this little family for some reason.
That is supposed to be saw, not say.
Hello PA NANA - Last season after we thought we were done for - We kept this blog going full strength. It may have been small talk at times - but what a bonding we have made! You stick with us and your fall & winter will go quite enjoyable! Promise!
Good Night All! I am going to watch a little tv with the hubby and the animals! I sure wish Hidey would come home. I will check with everyone in the morning. Sweet Eaglet Dreams to All!
I am going to read for a while. Night everyone!
Nite Bibee! We all sure have a reason to 'hit the deck' as soon as our eyes open tomorrow morning!
I can be a witness as to how wonderful these Eaglet Momsters/blogsters are!
You know, about a week and a half ago I started weening myself off of watching Hidey because I knew this time was coming and I didn't want it to bother me. Then last night I stopped in and watched Hidey for a couple of hours. She/he was so darn cute jumping around and flapping it's wings. I fell in love with Hidey all over again. Stopped watching last night when Hidey curled up in the middle of the nest to go to sleep. Came back in this morning to "check" on him/her and.... no Hidey. It's been a literal privilege getting the chance to watch Hidey grow and mature.
I look forward to the next round of eaglets born to Liberty and Belle.
duh, took me a while to figure out there was a new thread.
Hello Deb, Jo, and welcome PA Nana!
Deb - Rules For Tomorrow!
No flip flops and No bare feet when climbing ladders!
Have a safe painting day and may the sun shine for you!
For you who are new there is 1 thing that we older in time watching. Have not had and that is; when Hidey comes back to the nest. You will know it is Hidey ( :
We in 2006 and 2008 had 3 eaglets to watch for to come back to the nest. Trying to figure out which was which. To make sure we got to see all three back home. You will only have 1----Hidey.
Dana I remember that we were never really certain about their return UNTIL all 3 were in the nest at one time! lol what memories!
Yep Mema Jo you are certainly right. That is why I say in a way this season is easier for the new people watching.
It is probably just as traumatic waiting for one to return as it was waiting for all 3 to return - just shouldn't take as long!
It is time to get on my perch and get some shut eye. I will check out the nest very first time my eyes open - be it 3am or 6am or 9am! I am going to bed with the positive thoughts of going to Market and getting some peonies from Megan!
Good Night All!
Prayers for everyone's needs being said
(((hugs))) ♥
Hang on tight Hidey - wherever you are
It is kind of upsetting to know Hidey fledge and it was a surprise to him. Would like to know he flew on purpose.
I be sayin' goo'nite all y'all! It has been a trying day all around...hope we all sleep well and get our Hidey fix come morning. Peace and prayers.
Nite Lynn!
Can still hear Hidey on the mic.
Falling asleep in the chair. Time for bed! Good night all! Swee dreams!
Remember to vote for Bob Quinn's picture
Night everyone
Prayers for those that have ask and for those that have not but need.
A mosquito bit me under my chin while I was at the nest this morning and now it is swollen and sore all the way over to my ear. I think it must be that disease that is going around "THE BIRD FLEW".
GOOD NIGHT EVERYON
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
REST WELL HIDEY
Oh yeah, I can definitely hear Hidey banging on the camera ass'y, now that I read your comments, turned my radio down and the speaker volume up. It's kind of reassuring to know he's close by and alive.
Anybody know if he fledged or branched ... or maybe both??
It's very funny he couldn't get back down into the nest if he had flown any distance already.....
** GooD NIGHT **
** EVERYBODY **

Jim
i just heard a little whimpery chirp! anybody else hear that?
I heard it. Or something. I know someone is sitting on top of the camera, just not sure who...
it may be true that the old folks have sat up there & all, but would one of them be knockin' away all this time in the same spot? to me that smacks of somebody too chicken to jump down.
i acknowledge a possible element of wishful thinking in there.
okay i definitely just heard a chirpy whimper, or a whimpery chirp. and the knocking continues.
nObody in the nest, knocking or banging on the camera equipment goes on, and I heard what sounds something like a cat "meow" in the distance .. repeated several times.
I was watching Pete's Pond again, and there is a nearly mature African Fish eagle in the shallows standing on and feeding on the tail of that Nile Monitor, which the Otter killed several days ago.
They look kinda similar to the Bald Eagle, but they have more white, and they're smaller and lighter.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
i didn't hear that meowing. maybe your speakers are better'n mine, Jim.
still the occasional knocking, here at 2:30. i'm about off to bed myself. g'night, and g'morning, all.
Rain showers passing over here and at the nest now.
Nest still MT
Adult in nest don't know for how long have not read comments. Might already be noted. Adult is eating.
Parent just flew out of nest. I think left some food can't be sure because of the mess on cam.
mama's in the nest!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JIM
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JIM
HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JIM
Parent just flew into nest from up in tree.
Adult just left nest and now it is MT.
My speakers just have a static buzz..haven't heard the knocking yet
Oh No! Knocking noise is there Loud & Clear
Chewing on food.
Hidey do you hear them chomping down on your food. Come on down/in and get some Breakfast.
Adult returned to nest & appears to be enjoying breakfast!
No noise right now from nest cam
Morning Jo did you just hear that!
Good Morning Dana! I sure think Hidey is still up by the cam.
Waiting on one to return true is just as bad as waiting on 3. Yet when the 1 hits the nest we won't have to wait on 2 more. That 1 will be Hidey.
Jo I don't think he/she ever fledged. I think Hidey has been up there the whole time somewhere in tree and on top or near cam.
My name is Dana and I have an addiction to NCTC EAGLES and the LIVE WEBCAM.
Do you know if anyone has checked around the base of the tree?
I know two farmers thought they saw Hidey flying and that CostumeLady checked out the tree from closeby, but is there anyone that has checked the ground below that tree? Is there anyone who can?
If Hidey was on the ground the parents would be feeding Hidey there.
REMEMBER TO VOTE FOR BOB'S PICTURE
Good Morning Tammy Welcome back to Eagleland.
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Eagle Buddy JIM
Happy Birthday to you....
Enjoy your special day, Jim!
Adult checking over all the old nestovers.
Thank you very much Dana.. Sorry I've been here for about an hour and a half now. Good Morning.
Actually, I have been here about 6 weeks... just hiding behind the camera until a few days ago. :)
Adult has left the nest.
Going to try for 2 more hrs shut eye.
Maybe when I return there will have been a sighting
BBL
OKAY Hidey... You've proven your point, you're a big girl now. Time to come home...
By the way, perfect name folks... She is living up to it really well.
I hear a plane....de plane de plane.
Good morning everyone! No sign of Hidey eh?? Is there anyone that lives close that can check on her?
Just popping int to see if Hidey has returned. This is depressing. I really wish she would just let us all know she is safe so we can breath. Watching Lib and Belle yesterday was more than I can handle.
Anyway, prayers we see something today. Later all... have a good morning.
It's a beautiful morning after those showers Megan mentioned earlier, the nest is empty, except for food leftovers, and it could use a good housekeeping ! Maybe the adults need to MAKE THE BED for Hidey ! ☺
Good Morning Eagle People.... ☼
Read all the posts I wasn't here for...sounds like some heart-pounding cam-knocking !
Megan Hope you are doing okay this morning after your fall, and that Market goes well today too.
Mema - you have a good time in Shepherdstown too, will be watching for any Nest Comments !
Parts of WV especially Southern and Western got some pretty bad storms overnight, hope all our WV folks are doing okay!
Wanda I think Elkins and Seneca Rocks had some action too !
Blackwater Osprey nest looks beautiful, the sky in the background...all pink and heavenly looking
Good morning. I have so enjoyed your comments and watching Hidey grow. This is my first time observing an eaglet and family. I was so sad when Hidey was not in the nest yesterday. I worried all evening. It gave me a bit of hope to know some of you think you heard her. I certainly am wishing for the best. What a wonder to have witnessed.
Just watched a real nice fish delivery at Loch Garten, then both adults were doing defensive "this is our nest" postures, saw another bird flying around, then Odin (the male) took off soaring, now Mom is feeding her three chicks. Guess Odin is out protecting his Home Territory
Loch Garten is an Osprey nest with three chicks in Scotland, their time is five hours ahead of us.
Cam has a rather loud hum, and if you have a Mac this site might not open for you:
Loch Garten Scotland Osprey Nest
Lots and Lots of New Folks on here these last few days.
Welcome to all of you! Glad you are enjoying yourselves !
☺
And now for a very important message:
Happy Birthday Movin' Jim ! Hope it is your Best Birthday Ever, filled to the Brim with all your Favorite Things ! ☺ ♥ xo
This has been my first eagle watching. I was addicted to it. Do you think Hidey will come back for sure?
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Yes, Laura, Hidey will be back for sure, unless someone kidnapped him:)
BWO looks very strange now...maybe moisture on the cam.
Hi Wanda ! and Laura and everyone else !
hello
I have been watching some other nests in BC but I have especially enjoyed watching this one.
TAMMY...we are not allowed to go under the tree. When I went there, yesterday morning, that was orders from the guard..."don't go under the tree".
Just looked at the Lock Garten nest. how cool is that.
Margy, I hope those storms were in the night and not during THE FISHERMEN'S fun time.
My bluebirds fledged yesterday. I sure hope they weathered the bad storms that went through our area last night!
CostumeLady...
I remember seeing you say that yesterday. But is there anyone who is allowed and could look under that tree? In my opinion this is a special circumstance. Maybe the guard could go check?
I don't mean to be troublesome here but I really think someone should check. It's been 24 hours.
Tammy, tomorrow, when the offices and buildings are open, there will be plenty of people looking to spot Hidey. And, yes, if necessary, they can go under the tree.
Wanda...
The storms were close to midnight and in the middle of the night. I will say that there was a lightning strike between Elkins and Seneca Rocks so if communications with the fishermen are out, it could be cell towers were affected.
It's past my bedtime...will get up in time to read all the Nest News before work tonight.
I posted my Megan Flowers on my Magpie's Roost link...hope you all enjoy them as much as I do !
Good Night, Good Day Wishes to Everyone!
Prayers, for all in need....
God Bless Us, Every One..xoxo ♥
We had an ugly storm roll through here during the night too.
I did see an adult in the nest at 6 this morning eating but didn't see Hidey. We go through this every year, watching, waiting and praying.
Off topic for a moment.. If I may ask, how did Magpie create that little heart at the end of her last post?
That's good to know, Margy. Gene always calls me when he leaves camp to come home...so if he doesn't call this morning, I will know why.
She has a MAGIC WAND, Tammy;)

Hello again everyone! I have a question????? My luebirds fledged yesterday........This morning a tree swallow is visiting the nest. Earlier the male bluebird was perched on cable just above the nest.Then bout an hour and a half later this swallow has been going around the nest....peeking in but not going all the way in. Is this swallow going to take over the nest??? I was hoping my bluebirds would come back to lay their second brood! Thanks ahead for all the bird knowledge I recieve on this matter!

OH MY!!!!---GUESS WHO HAS A BIRTHDAY TODAY---He is TWENTY FIVE (25) TODAY!!----HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU--HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU---HAPPY--HAPPY BIRTHDAY 'MOVIN'JIM'---HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU----AND MANY--MANY MORE!
NORMA, now, we all know that JIM is 39! Same as me;)
Thank you Norma. I understand what you are saying. I guess my concern comes from watching what happened at the Hornby nesting site earlier this month. I just wanted someone to make sure Hidey wasn't on the ground under the tree injured or even worse.
Thank you Sharon and Wanda for your explanation for the ♥.
WHOA! SISSY & TOM!!---I am so sorry--pray it will be a 'light case'--I worked with a woman--son had LYME disease--(she said son had a light case---not as bad as she expected??--sending you good thoughts prayers!!!!!
STEVIE, the swallows will, more than likely, take over the nest. We have seen that on here on one of the Wild Watch cams and they have done it at my Mother's. They build a beautiful nest!
It had only been 2 weeks since he found the tick, so it was caught really early and he is on antibiotics. Hopefully the symptoms will be minimal since it is early in it.
YAY TAMMY!!! You did it:)
The flicker hole in the tree across the street that was taken over by starlings, remember? Oh, yeah, how could you forget! :) The flickers are back. Guess they waited on the starlings to get through with it and are now going to use it! Yeah.
Thank you Costume Lady.....I was hoping my bluebirds would come back....Maybe next year?????
Alvin is back out here this morning. Didn't see him at all yesterday.
I had a good teacher(s)
☺
OH TAMMY!!----I was just TRYING to say how 'I was feeling' this am!!--
have been expecting this!---SHE is so different than the others!!---SO COOL!--My 1st fledging---we watched--I felt like this was the END! ho!
Morning all.
Just stopping in to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIM.
Geese just went by.
Stevie,
I have bluebird nest boxes in my yard and yes, there are hijackers out there who will use them as well. Current recommendations that I have seen include removing the old nesting material after the bluebirds fledge and washing out the inside of the box (I use a very dilute clorox mixture and then I leave the box open to air for about a day). I am on my second round of bluebirds this summer and this group sounds like they should be ready to fledge soon. The parents never really got too far from the nest, even when it was empty and they continued to scare off invaders even though it was not currently being used. They began rebuilding the nest within a very few days of my cleaning the old out. They say they will reuse even if you don't clean it out, but they rebuild another nest on top of the old and don't actually use the old nest. Seems to me that getting all that old stuff and bacteria out is a good thing. They are not as neat with where they leave their poop as our eaglet was! Hope that helps.
Thanks Joy!! I might try cleaning out the nest if it means drawing my bluebirds back!! I like the swallows but I like my bluebirds better! LOL.
I have also heard that you can put up another box in the yard and the Bluebirds and Swallows will share the nesting area, each in their own box. They do that here a lot. Out in the Hills there are usually two boxes within 15-25 feet of each other. Bluebirds and Swallows everywhere.
Hooray for the FLICKERS! BOO to the starlings:(
good morning Ceil:)
Happy Birthday, Jim. Hope you have a wonderful day!
My Mother has a lot of trouble with the sparrows claiming the bluebird boxes...they even killed the bluebirds one year and poked holes in the eggs another year. The bluebirds have not visited her yard at all this year. I guess they have HAD ENOUGH AND ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!
Good morning to all - see eaglet hasn't made it back to nest yet. No sounds from cam area either. Little one is probably ok but would be nice to hear some tapping so we can be sure. Wanted to watch longer last night but severe storm rolled through & power was off part of the night.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JIM, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!
Jim...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU:) Hope it is a beautiful day in California, just for your birthday!
Where is home, Safire?
Thanks everyone!Decisions...decisions...decisions. LOL
Good morning all. Still no bahy home in our nest...I was so hoping to see the little imp....I'm depressed...
egg turning BWO
they expect hatching to start tomorrow:)
I am up and about ready to start my day. Was on here around 6am and saw adult eating in the MT nest.
I hear my mic still making those sounds. I need to read more then 100 comments so I know what all of you know!
Hello Costume Lady - home is Ontario, Canada. This is a very nice chat site. Wish I had known about it before yesterday. Only tuned in after the eaglet had left nest, so I haven't actually seen the little one yet.

Jo, I was up at 6 a.m. too to see the parent in the nest. Went back to sleep and woke up at 7:55 with no one in the nest.
Welcome to all of you who are joining us for the excitement. If you wish to watch short videos of Hidey - go to the 9:00 am posting from DEB and click on her name. Choose the Nest Pictures under her blogs. It is a good showing of what we have been watching this season and why we love this little one so much.
Others also have videos and photos under their blogs.
HELEN SAYS NEW THREAD!!
I just heard a whimming sound like Hidey makes.
Thankyou Costume Lady for the nice welcome. Will be pleased to join in as often as I can. I still work f/t split shift 5-6 days per wk but will join in when I can. Wish little one would tap on cam so we know that he/she is there.
OK GOING TO NEW THREAD
I hear one of the eagles anyway
Have to go - bbl
I have been watching from Utah and really miss that little Hidey. I hope he returns today.
I hear someone! Sounds like Hidey.
