Fresh thread. I'm in Madison Wisconsin this week.
We are wondering how many schools are watching the cam. If you are a teacher who uses the cam in your class, please send me a quick email at the address listed in my profile.

Wow, Bob, thanks for heads up and for sticking around! I had said on the old thread before I got your alert that you should keep checking in, because more and more Birthday greetings will be added throught the day!
NORMA, the Pancake girls' obit is in our paper today: www.journal-news.net
Morning, all!
Hidey looks dried out and handsome this morning!
Happy Birthday Bob!
And Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Thank you everyone for the welcome.
When there are two in the nest does it happen often that one doesn't live because the bigger on gets all the food?
Mine is lit, Mema Jo!
Not usually Darla, we had three last year and everyone did just fine. Sometimes they scrap over their food a bit but they all get fed pretty good!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOB...HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY
Hey Mits, my friend!! How are you feeling? Pain any better?
Welcome, Darla!
Love the avatar...is that your dog?
Morning, Mits. Feeling any better?
Great song Megan. I am a'jammin and a'drummin!
Speaking of drummin', Mattie, our other drummer in the family, has a concert on Thursday night.
Morning Mits. How are ya?
Out of here to the lab hoping there is not a line a mile long - I had to fast and I need my COFFEE !
BBL
One-winged stretch!!
Darla - When there are 2 or 3 eaglets, the younger ones have to be creative to get to the parent to get food.
Also, we have seen in this nest, and other nests, that the parents will stuff the oldest one first, and he will leave the siblings alone. Then the others get to eat.
still about the same, my friends, it will take a while, I'm sure....not going to the zoo tomorrow:(, the put me on a leave of absence, till I can get back, so guess they won't fire me or dock my pay..:)
welcome Darla:)
After the first month or so, the rivalry subsides, and you will see the eaglets lining up in the nest, waiting their turn to be fed.
5/4/2009 :: All Five Eggs Hatched!
Over the weekend, the remaining two falcon eggs hatched out, bringing the brood to five. The fourth egg hatched out at roughly 6:40 p.m. on Friday, May 1. The fifth egg hatched out some time overnight between Saturday night May 2 and early Sunday morning, May 3. This is the second time that all five eggs have hatched.
PA Falcon up to date report
Mei has got bamboo strung all around her. I sure do pray she is getting ready to give us a baby!! That would just be the best!!
same old, same old, Sharon.
Either Norma went to class or we lost her on the older thread you all was on.
Mei is resting on the platform bed in the birthing den....

Sorry Mits those ribs are going to take awhile to heal. Which is keeping you from one of your loves "the zoo". I know you have to miss it.
Paula,
Yes, that is my Sheltie JJ..
One of many that I shared my life with. He has gone on to a better place..
Norma went to class, Dana, You are correct, am missing the zoo, but they are keeping me informed of what is going on.
Nice looking dog, Darla. Did you breed them or show them, or were your shelties just your pets?
Mits! If they fire your or dock your pay, those of us who don't HAVE Eagle Canes, will get them and head down there with those that DO have Eagle Canes....We know where the Zoo is !
Good to see you here...and hope that today is better than yesterday, tomorrow is better than today, and so on....ad infinitum!
Time to get crackin' on the day.
Postal Service wants some of my money!
Good Day wishes Everyone
xoxo
RE:Shelties
We bred them to show in the past,but they are pets first...
Once we became involved in breed rescue the showing went by the wayside for the most part. We are still actively involved in all aspects but the many rescues in our home generally keep us at home.
thanks, Margy, watch that word...crackin, little senstive here:)
Darla - all of that takes a lot of work...showing and rescuing! My hats off to you for your rescue efforts...takes a special person to do that.
Sissy does some dog fostering, and ends up keeping them. I know that's what would happen to me!
CT opsrey cam is online, for how long, don't know
sorry link did not work
feeding Tai some fruit thru the fence
Guidance for the day: Don't have spoon in tea or coffee cup and not hold onto it when taking a drink....could cause injury.
Gotcha there, Mits
How about, Hopping? xox ☺ ♥
Both adults BWE
hoppin is better, Margy;)
For those of you who may not have the Mason site, here is the latest update: at a little after 8 am today:
"We are still in icu at Paoli Hospital. Mason is sedated, with a breathing tube so he doesn't get in trouble. They reasonbly ruled out siezures,( we've never had any up to now anyway), he has some pnemonia, the cultures take a couple of days to grow to nail down whatever the infection is.
We, they don't think upper or lower respiratory is causing his breathing episodes. It is probably a mechanical issue in the upper airway, kind of like snoring with an apnea event.
Unfortunately, the safest solution is to put a trach tube back in, and keep Mason out of trouble for sure. I say unfortunately because he has really started to use his voice a lot. After a week or so they can put a trach tube in that will allow him to speak.
He's safe and he will be here at the Paoli Hospital for a few days or more until they decide what to do and is out of the woods.
One step forward, two steps back. I prefer to believe 1/2 step back.
Keep it coming!
Love BEE and Syl."
And for those of you new to this blog, Mason was in very serious traffic accident in WV in July 2008, spent many months at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, and has been at Bryn Mawr rehab in Philadephia area, for many months. His return home was scheduled for the next few weeks. He and his family are from Shepherdstown, WV.
Ruh Roh....BW cams stuck again...
Share the BWE link, please.
I know this has to be disheartening for Mason and his family. They have been working so hard to get his home ready for him.
Here you go, Darla.
Blackwater cams Also, links at http://www.eagletmomsters.com/links.html And

There you go, Darla.
BWE cam is not updating at the moment
Whoops, I am a day late and a dollar short!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Cold and damp here in Martinsburg/Shepherdstown..55°
Pea Pod by Giant just arrived a little while ago, got the groceries all put away:)
Mits - did you order any fresh produce? Just wondering how their selection on that looked.
Well I am filled with coffee now and just a little less blood! The wait at the lab wasn't too long - Home again. It is so damp out - rain has stopped for now. I don't think Megan has found the sun yet! I wish the adults would bring in some dry leaves or fluff for our nest.
Welcome Darla from sunny FL!
yes Paula, I did, and I just told Ceil, everything seems fresher then in the store, nice whole wheat bread, good Boar's Head lunch meat, avocados, etc....I have always been pleased with the orders, and they bring it in and sit it right on your kitchen table
or if you are not home to receive it, they pack it in containers and leave it on doorstep
Norfolk trio eating...boy they sure are a good looking group.
Thanks, Mits...just nice to know.
both O's at Finney's nest
and like you said Safeway does it too, think it is wonderful for working families, and stupid people who fall down go boom, like me;)
Hidey's balance is really good, poop shoot and wing flaps right at the edge of the launch pad
LOL, you're not stoopid Mits, klutzy maybe, but not stoopid :)
oh yes, klutz is my middle name, it runs in the family;)
Oh Helen, we must be kin. That is my middle name too!!
Mei Xiang latest hormone report..
MX hormones continue to slowly decline. It's just a matter of time
now, though I cannot say for sure how long it will take until she
reaches baseline.
once she reaches baseline it is a matter of 24 to 48 hours for a cub or another false pregnancy.
Thanks for that explanation, Mits. So we will know soon.
The BW's are updating again...3 eggs in view at BWO
BWE looks MT!!
Think BWE is right under the cam...looked like a tail there.
where is Hidey?
where is Hidey?
Hidey is in the nest. She was on the right hand side but now at her favorite 2 o'clock position.
Question:(I am just full of them:-)
Is the eagle in the nest in Hornby
the male or the female?
Has it's mate been around the last 24 hours?
I've only seen this one since yesterday and wonder where the mate is?
This one seems to be calling for relief...:-)
Both eagles at nest in Maine.
Female nesting and male up on the limb.
The Wild Watch Osprey cam - I noticed last evening that the nest has been decorated with lots of greens.
Welcome Tapteacher! Did you get Hidey up on the cam ok?
Darla, I think both adults are there right now.
The one with the messed up hair (feathers), we think, is the female.
Dara - I just signed in and have not had time to look at all cams. The Hornby adults usually switch the nesting duties.. but I will need to watch for a while to see what goes on. Here is a link to their forum
Link for the Forum at Hancock Wildlife
HI female has a part down her head in the back
Feeding at Hornby! Look at those polite, patient little eaglets!
Hidey is up close to the cam
picking around the nest looking for nestovers
He is ready now - that was a good poop shoot little one!
I don't want to say "Glutton" But you best feed those 2 little Hornby chicks soon!
Yummy Now that is better!
Well Folks! I don't usually do the mornings with Feet on the Floor and Out the Door....... So I am going to check out our pandas & then join them for a nap! I haven't had a nap for a month of Sundays - meds keep you going!
BBL
have not been able to get on to LW all morning.
Incoming adult with branches!
I think Hidey is looking for lunch!
Lunch time here. I mowed the front yard, it is very small, takes about 10 minutes to do. As long as it isn't hot out, I can do it on my lunch time. It is a beautiful day out today.
Welcome to Darla and Tapteacher!
Back to work. Later!
eggs in view at BWO
osprey back at bWO
Hi again, gang. Ran into some distractions earlier. Realized---duh!!--that I hadn't gotten Mom's Day card--so had to make a quick trip to store and post office to get it out....PRAY that it makes it to MO by Sat.!!!! Please good Lord...Amen.
Gardening guy came back and replaced landscaping timbers. And finally got notice that fencing will be delivered Thurs. AND new carpet for kitchen and bathroom to be installed Fri. Busy days ahead. AND Fri. youngest is taking me shopping to get new "everyday" dishes for b-day/mom's day gift!
Caught up om blog.
We really are one big family.....my middle name is Klutz, too!!
eggs in view again at BWO
osprey back
both O's at BWO
Mei Xiang looks like she has a headache
She looks rather lackadaisical, doesn't she? "I vant to be alone!"
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BOB!!!!!!& keep those cameras rolling!Love your pics, Bob.
Finally got on here today--phone very busy with registering for big programs....
Appears our cam osprey has one egg-Hooray! Got a not great pic. Eagle nest is now covered by leaves when driving by. If not raining when I leave here, will try to stop & take a peek.
Loretta, been meaning to ask....did Greg ever get to check on that osprey to see if it had something unnatural stuck on it's leg??
The whole fam damily is in the nest!
Good Afternoon, everyone! I'm being a slowpoke again today. Took a while to catch up. First of all, Happy Birthday, Bob!-- I am SO impressed with your cardinal pictures! Hope Mits, Sharon & Mema Jo are all feeling better today. Deb, hope your headache is better, too! Was sorry to hear about Mason-- have lit a candle for him. Watched the Eagle Song video-- it's a keeper! Just beautiful. Hedgie, the herons ARE big-- we always have laughed in years past because the fledglings are about chicken-sized, and if a neighborhood cat cornered one on the ground, the cat always ended up running for its life. The heron nest is in our backyard ficus tree, about 30 feet up. The tree itself is huge, about 48 years old. We have two like it in the front yard that are the same age and size-- HUGE! They look like one big tree with a double trunk. Don't know what we'd do without them; they're a Godsend in the hot summer, shading much of the house. (We don't have any a/c!) Sharon, you mentioned having a new White-crowned sparrow. We have several pairs here, and they actually spent the winter! They usually seem to migrate, but stayed this year. Am trying to watch to see where Momma hummer flies-- I think she has probably started another nest, away from the herons. Will try to get a good picture of the ficus tree so you can see what it looks like. Maybe I can catch one of the goshawks in the tree out front, too. OOh-- looks like somebody brought Hidey some lunch! Isn't it great how they share so politely? Think I'll say TTFN and watch them. Have a great afternoon! :o]
What are they eating? Looks big enough to be a side of beef!
filet o fish?????
Ms. Bookworm, I get white-throated sparrows in the winter but don't recall ever having a white-crowned one any time.
Hidey still wants to be fed
Wow, what are they eating...looks like a steak!
LOL, GMTA!
Belle took off!
maybe pea-pod delivered it
Hedgie - We determined it was a fish....
Loretta - glad to hear about the cam osprey!
I swear they are eating a steak in the nest!
Is that Lib that just popped in...gonna pop back out.
Am I seeing things, or does the food that Momma brought home look like a nice square sandwich wrapped in a plastic bag?!
Wish they would move it away from the smudge so we could see the shape of it better.
Hidey is back to eating some.
I am going to stick with my side of beef! :)
Did you order that steak, Mits?
LaCarp - we don't know what it is!
Almost looks like hamburger!
Everybody check your lunch bag to see if your PB&J is missing.
Naw...looks like a roast beast sandwich!
Love the pic, lacarp
Thanks ... self portrait.
Andrea, I've never seen a ficus that big!!! Would love to see a pic of it!!
Ho Boy, whatever IT is, Hidey would rather eat Straw!
Can't wait til the parents start to tear it apart (when they come back)
This is the first day I have seen Eaglet Jumping ! Guess I have missed out before now ☺
Maybe it is some of Bob's Birthday Cake!
Stamp prices go up fropm 42-cents to 44-cents on Monday, get ready!
Nice of them to wait until AFTER Mother's Day.
Panda Nap Time
TTFN xo z z z z z z
Hey Bob!
Hope the end of work day is SOON !
Happy Birthday Afternoon to you...
This is my first day tuning in; a friend just sent me the link last night. This is fascinating. I just wished the audio worked.
Sometimes it does Le Carp, but not for the last couple of days, for me anyway...
not sure about everyone else.
Keep Coming Back, all your questions will be answered
TTFN (That's Ta Ta For Now )
Haha LeCarp...
yes, it's rather fascinating and addictive!
Hidey is back for more steak
Birthday Cake? I'll take a piece.
LeCarp - hopefully they will get the sound fixed soon...it was on until last Thursday.
Had to do a video...
Beef, it's what's for Dinner!
If that's birthday cake & those are eagles, it could be Carp flavored!
Just saw your video, Paula. Hadn't seen the drop. Think one of the Daycare kids lost their lunch?? ☺
Gotta leave---will stop by the nest...
BBL
it does look like a sandwich, maybe bologna:)
great video Paula:)
welcome La Carp
Well, now it kind of looks like a boot! :)
I had to take my hummingbird feeder down again. There was about 1/4-inch of dead p-ants floating in the top of it. I am going to have to get one that doesn't hang on the window and maybe I can doctor around it to keep those ugly critters away!
Wonder if it was scavenged from someone's trash??
Hooray....more rain coming at us.
Another tree just arrived in our nest! :)
Turned my back for a minutes...where did that tree come from. They are trying to hide Hidey under branches and leaves now.
Megan, you don't really sound that excited. Had enough? :)
Parent is back and has busted open whatever that is!
Looked like Lib...doesn't look like a steak anymore!
And Lib's back up into the tree
Belle just dropped in!
ADULT BACK
She is a diggin in that bowl, whether Hidey moves out of it or not!
raining hard here now:)
she want her to MOVE
Hedgie- Thats the Central Islip School District on Long Island. Alot of us at the high school got hooked when one of the secretaries showed us the web site. Seems were not the only ones.
Rickey376 Love your avatar.
Margy could you get a firefighter friend to meet us at the nest. Need to wipe off the lens.
Wanda where do you have an eagle custom. I will put it on. Probably give Lib, Belle and Hidey a heart attack. Mom look at that big eagle.
Oh, she is covering the little baby again from the rain.
Oh, she is covering the little baby again from the rain.
Shaaron, baby's not so little any more. Another week baby will be covering mom.
Watch out, Hidey....raindrops will be falling on your head!
Got a bit more work done outside before it started again!
Sharon not Shaaron. Finger slipped.
I would give anything to see you in an eagle costume, and going up the tree to wipe the lens Ceil :):)
Ricky love your doggies
Good video, Paula! Hidey acted like (s)he didn't know what to do with IT when Belle/Lib left! Very strange--whatever it is.
Hi, Ricky376. Do you have any eagles up there?
Um, yeah, maybe we've had enough rain for a while...some heavy showers about to pass over us.
I'm finished with Dental appt. and done grocery shopping. Groceries all in before it rained. Plus went back got the mail and made it inside before the clouds opened up again here. POURING !
Hidey just might be a "boy" why stubborn. Parent tried to get him under wings. He wouldn't go. Parent tried again and Hidey pecked parent!
No eagles. Alot of Hawks. Last time I saw an bald eagle in person was at the Kennedy space center in FL. There all over the place there.
Thanks about the pups. They are all rescue dogs. Meaning we rescued them from the pound. The big one is Comet(female). The white one is Hobo another female. and the king charles cocker is Max. All fixed so we dont increase the population.
Hi, you guys! Looks like it's raining pretty hard at the nest. Glad to see that Hidey has some company! Has anyone figured out what kind of food that is yet? I've been having trouble receiving & sending e-mails today. Earthlink has some sort of problem going on. Soon as I can, will try to get some tree pictures where you can see them. Take care; I'll BBL. :o]
note on BWO and BWE site

We apologize for our downtime. We share our images with Wildcam.com, and they're having major ISP issues, and it affects our image updating when they do. They're working on the problem.

(I love the color yellow)
It is Tues - a good 3 shows on TV but better yet before that it is Spaghetti night with meatballs for ggd and son.
Lots of salad also for mema.
Going to check out some cams...
Hi Ricky I do the same as you but with the feline fellows! Good to have you returning to be with us!
Thanks everyone for all the Birthday greetings. I headed out of this dreary office to enjoy the rest of the rainy day!
OKLAHOMA - We need sunshine in OK!

Hey Ricky, just head up the Hudson River valley to find some!
Love your doggies!
Later!
Okay Eagle ♀ and ♂ Pals.
Headed out for some Kid Fun, Morgan County here I come, if the waters haven't overridden the roads.
One nice thought, shouldn't be very many out of control brush fires around these parts !
Guess we will be living with that White Smudge for awhile :(
Take Care, Hope everyone has a Great Evening! xoxo ☺ ♥
Mema : Froggy is on the way! Perfect weather for it ☺
I'll be checking my mail! Thanks ahead of time I'm sure! NO WATER BALLOONS TODAY - It is wet enough without them
Have Fun
Bob you want me to email you another map to where your going for your Birthday Dinner???? lol directions were right just some names wrong hee heeSo great to have Darla and Mrs. Bookworm in the blog.
Love new people like tapteacher and Carp to come in.
So many new avatars I just love them.....and doggies are so cute.
Just got the call from 4 yr old ggd coming up the mountain to "Turn on The Spaghetti Water"! Sound like a hungry crew headed this way.
BBL
Welcome Ricky376 love you avatar too.
Andrea, I couldn't get your earthlink address to work a couple of days ago...so started using your yahoo address.
I am home, stopped at the grocery store after work. Time to feed the dogs and finish mowing. Cloudy here, I hope you all get a break from the rain soon!
Adult flew out of nest. We are out of the heavy rain for now.
Go Hidey go! She is flapping hard! Not sure what food is under the smudge on the camera. Looks like fish? Belle (?) & Hidey were both munching on it a moment ago.
Gabriela - that white smudge was red earlier...check out my post at 3:41 today
Hi again Gabriela! Welcome back.
Worrying a bit about Lolly....hope she went to the Dr. today.
Wanda....are you still checking in?
Oh my gosh we have a wingersizing teenager in the nest. Where is our baby? Gosh and he/she is also munching away. I can not believe how quickly this time has passed. I have to admit I have not watched as closely this year. Life has its own things in the way right now. But i did need to stop by and say hi and check out little butter ball. I think he/she is surley thinking aobut how great it will be to fly. Dream big little one.
Happy Birthday Bob.
