sun is out
Good Morning!
I'm still looking for some sunshine here! Hope to see a touch today...been 7 straight days with rain as of yesterday, I'm sure today will be #8
Hidey looks like he is working on some chow....learning to use his talons.
Good morning everyone!
Good Morning All! I see 2 rays of sunshine on this blog so far! Nothing outside yet!
Come On SunShine! Make My Day!
There is a bright glare on here....
Hello Sharon!
I can see a hint of the sun up there somewhere but it sure ain't shining yet!
Good morning sister Helen. Thanks for bringing us over.
Hi Red. Good to see you.
Morning Lynn, Norma, Megan,Paula, Sharon, Jo and all others.
Jo what are you doing on so early.
At work. All alone am I cannot remember the rest of the words.
Have a great day.
Sun trying to come out but so far has not made it.
Item in the paper explains that the purple boxes we see in the trees here in the panhandle are to trap the "emerald ash borer"--an Asian native that damages and kills trees. Now we know, Wanda and Margy!!!

your welcome, Ceil
Jo while you and Paula are here. About the sound issue. Should Outdoor world be contacted for that problem. I lost the contact number and have looked on their web page.
Mei Xiang is laying in the same spot she was last night when I turned puter off
Mits, how are ya?
Hey, Ceil...."ever since your goodbye"--Megan will probably post it for us...Patsy Cline!
Ceil - I am up looking for the S U N !
Megan's Link to start our morning Turn it Up!
still trying to recover, Sharon, felt better yesterday, today kinda iffy so far.
I don't have the contact # anymore for outdoor either, and Steve is out of town all week
I think they would be the appropriate contact... I know Paula contacted Steve and last time it worked as far as who he contacted. I think ChrisM ? is the person. Wanda and/or Paula may have his email at MyOutdoor.com
Ceil/Mits - How is our Mary Margaret

BWE UPDATE...
Nest Update
05/05/09:
We've updated the Eagle Cam Web Log with a new post that talks about what will happen once our eaglets take their first flight.
Also, on Wednesday, we saw an eaglet mantling or spreading its wings over prey to hide it from others -- a definite sign of maturity.
Hey, someone sent the sun here!!
:):)
Hubby just called. He has a flat tire. Did not know it until he got to the drug store. He changed it. Did not want to wait for AAA's. He has to go to work. Talk later. Phone ringing.
I'll look for that email address to myoutdoortv....re - the sound.
Red - so glad you could stop in. Wish the O2 was working better for you, but glad you are able to be up and about. Take care, we miss you on here.
Sun just popped out here too!
WHoo HOoo! Likewise concerning Lolly, Lynn!
Hi everyone,
I just found this site a few weeks ago and we have been watching every day. This is quite a site for a city girl. Do you know how old the eaglet is and when he might finally take flight?
your welcome, sun left here...
Welcome Karen. Hidey hatched on March 14 and we are pretty sure the fledge will not be until probably the first or second week of June.
Welcome Karen! Is the sun shinning in your neck of the woods? Glad you are going to join us - ask away with your questions! Plenty of informed Eaglet Momsters on here!
Jo, do you have Lolly's phone number??
Email has been sent....FYI - it is info at myoutdoortv.com....
Good Morning Everyone ☼
Sun just popped through here ☺
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. We did have sun, but it is disappearing fast.
This is the address that I have for Chris:
Chris Moise (Outdoor TV) [Edit]
info@myoutdoortv.com
The temperature is perfect !
I think I saw an Osprey flying overhead, shortly after crossing over Back Creek Bridge westbound, on Rt 9 last evening. Maybe he was headed for the lake at Sleepy Creek ☺
I am in Charleston WV and I am ready to build the ark and start loading 2 X 2! More rain today.I am absolutely mesmerized by this website.
It was kind of hard to drive and watch to I had to choose driving...
Boy are the creeks up around here, sure all the Bluebells at Swinging Bridge have been under water -
It is What It Is.
Hope everyone IS and WILL BE doing well today
Hedgie See your comments about the purple bags. Think they should have been Emerald Green instead..☺
Neat, Margy. Maybe we need a field trip to Sleepy Creek!
Here are a couple of things of local interest for the Eastern Panhandle :
May 8 and 9, 9 am to ?
Berkeley Springs State Park (right in downtown BS)The Morgan County Master Gardeners Annual Plant Fair -
Hundreds of plants for sale, and there will be a garden education center and a special children's area
May 9, Boydville in Martinsburg, 10 am to 4 pm The Berkeley/Jefferson Master Gardeners will hold a plant and book sale for Heritage Day, books will be sold at bargain prices, and heirloom tomatoes and pepper plants will be for sale
Megan: Will you be at market Sunday in Shepherdstown?
You are our #1 Master Gardener!
Hedgie I had been told that there is a pair of Osprey at Sleepy Creek near the Lake, cannot verify that, but I would like to check it out, that is one place I would not go to alone...
Maybe in a few weeks...we can check it out - I'll try to check with local DNR and see if they know
WELCOME KAREN! We are in a majority here in WV. I have to stop and count just how many of us are West Virginians!
Hi, Margy...glad you are leary of going to Sleepy Creek alone! Field trip would be good:)
On and Off for me this morning, go to head out for a little while, then back to work tonight at 6 pm...
I'll catch up, I hope, with everything a little later on.
Mits - Hope you continue to feel better and Heal !
xoxo ♥
Karen, you are in Charleston. Too cool. I am going to Ripley this weekend to Cedar Lakes. Will be going right through Charleston. My son is also going to be moving to Scott Depot this summer and going to WV State University in Institute.
Right on that one, Wanda -
We might need to get some four-wheelers and Gators to get there...road is kinda rough in places
TTFN xoxoxo
I wonder what an "Heirloom Tomato " is...
and I am not sure what "Heritage Day" is all about either, ref comment about Boydville.
sun is back out again here.
heirloom tomatoes are really good
Welcome Karen!!
Whoa...I see sunshine!!! About time!
Good Morning Everyone! Grey here, but NOT raining!
Put some new pics on blog of E & O nests at the Park, etc.
Gotta hit the trail...later4
OK, I thought everyone could use a bit of sunshine...
I think an Heirloom tomato is from back in our grandparents day, when they had such a wonderful flavor.
Yep, heirloom tomatoes are from older seeds, 50 to 100 years old, often handed dowm thru generations. Non hybrid tomatoes, many colors and shapes. Brandywine is a well known variety.
Thanks Paula and Wanda. I looked all over the page. Info.Duh.
Back to work.
Loretta - so glad we saw all the eaglets before the leaves shot out!
Love the Osprey's nest!
Mason's newest update
Mason's Candles - need more then 32 ok?
Little Luney at the Atlanta Panda cam is exploring outside
Mei hasn't moved around much since last evening!
Oh Boy that sun should looks good!
Thanks for the sunshine Paula
Keep it shinning !
Hidey is up
BBILW
Haircut this afternoon......
Loretta, pics are nice.....will be hard for you to see much until the juvies are up branching and ready to launch, I guess!
Afraid that this setback will be the new norm for Mason and family...it will be one thing after another.
Mei is very lethargic looking!
Please...only positive thoughts for Mason... send a card, it'll make ya feel good!
Eaglet at NBG trying to eat a fish....Mom doesn't look too happy about that at all!
Hidey strecthing out her right wing
NBG chick finally done picking at it...Mom is ready to serve lunch!
Pretty, isn't it Mits.
Did they say they had 2 males at NBG...I can't recall
I think that is correct Paula.
Some NBG banding info
First and third chicks are the males, middle is the unknown...looks to be female to me by the weight, I would think...maybe they will find out later in their DNA analysis.

portland oregon rth chicks are really cute
LOL 3 eaglets trying to get under Mom at NBG...
lol, yeah, like that is going to work
my live feed was just freezing, but ok now
Same here on the feed.
NBG finally got out from the middle of that mess of eaglets...they certainly tried, LOL
Hey eagle buds! Out of work for the moment, hate when that happens!
Can someone help me with a little info? I have been watching this site for a few days, as well as a few other Eagle cams. Is it me, or is this a neglectful mommy?? On the other cams, the moms are there often... on this one, this poor little guy is alone most of the time! OR... is it because he is getting older?
it is because he is getting older, parents are still close by, it is a big tree, and she/he has to start leaning how to eat on its own, parents will start soon dropping fish in the nest. eaglet is 8 weeks old this saturday
Hi Laynie! No, Belle and Liberty are the best parents ever!! Hidey is getting older and learning to be more self sufficient, practicing exercising her wings and getting ready to fly for the first time in a few weeks. The parents are very attentive to her/him and bring food frequently, even still try to shield him/her from the weather.
Very good Sissy! You should be working for NCTC!
Eaglet was just sunning his wings...bet that sun feels good.
Getting a little static on my feed. Is anyone's sound back on?
Laynie - click on my name and scroll down to the eaglet momsters blog. I posted pics from a visit to the nest last Saturday...shows both parents in the tree watching over the eaglet...we just can't see them on the cam.
Oh, and Helen, too!
Our Mommy is the best, as well as Dad (Lib) in the animal kingdom. We have often remarked as to how dedicated they are:)
And to think, I am a newbie compared to you guys!! Ya'll are good teachers!
Mom (Belle) layed on her eggs until she had about an inch of snow on her back, during a snow storm.
OH... thank you for your quick response all! I am so very happy to hear that she is well cared for. My maternal instincts kicked in and I hated seeing her alone so much. I did see mom shelting her last night in the rain. Is that an optical illusion from the fence down below, or is that next secured with a perimeter fence?
Yes, Paula...that is an excellent photo for our Newbies to see when they think our Hidey is all alone. They are ever watchful. Glad you got that photo. Super!
Great pics Paula! I wanna be just like you when I grow up!
The illusion on the left and front of the nest are buildings. A Barn on the left, and a house around noonish.
The area is only fenced off by signs...although there is fencing around, it has more to do with property lines than eagles.
Paula, love your bright avatar!
Welcome, Laynie. Ha--my sisters' best friend in HS was named Laynie!
Lunch time, I mowed a little, but not enough to get yucky. I wanted to do more, but it is humid out, so I had to quit.
Hidey is eating more of the 'Thing' from yesterday...but he's in the blob....so hard to see again, what the 'steak' actually is!
Called Lolly....she sounds awful...coughing very deeply...has NOT been to Dr. yet...I strongly encouraged her to go. Says she has just been laying back with her eyes closed and hasn't felt like touching the computer. Says she will call Dr. and let us know how she is. Thanked us for the Silver Alert!
Howdy Deb...have a nice rest of your lunch hour!
Thanks, Lynn. Hope she heads to the Dr soon, gets some meds and gets on the mend.
Thanks Paula... pictures are great. I love that picture with mom and dad perched together nearby! Awesome! Great job.
Hedgie... rare name, I know! :) I don't know a whole lot of other people with my name.
Hmmmm... why is Hidey's "meal" fuzzed out? Is it an R-rated meal?
* Fantastic Avatar, Paula !!
As Norma would say, you are OUR SUNSHINE GIRL, TODAY AND EVERY DAY! HO !
Yes, let's overload Paoli Hospital with cheerful and crazy cards! I just got a new supply of "New Old" ones at Good Will in Berkeley Springs last night! I am all set.
Thanks for the info on the heirloom tomatoes...knew you would folks would give me some answers, as always!
Time for Nap - - The Day Bandit has Struck! Wah Wah Wah....
xoxo Good Afternoon Wishes.
Prayers for Lolly, she Must get to the doctor....Thanks Lynn you are our NUMBER ONE NURSE TODAY AND EVERYDAY ! HO
xox ♥
People are out Mowing to Beat the Band! Little window of sunshine.
Megan sure did not have clear skies for those meteors this morning :(
xox TTFN
Laynie, there is a smudge on the camera lens that has been there for several days...we don't know what it is...suspect that since it hasn't washed off in all this rain, it will be there til fall when they do another tree trim and cam adjustment.
Where are you located?
Thanks for the info Hedgie. I am from NJ. I've taken up bird watching and photographing over the past few years and love it. Because of it I have fallen in love with the large preditory birds. We have some eagles in South Jersey but I haven't been there yet to get some pictures.
Hey! Lynn put a smile on my face and a warm fuzzy feeling inside!
I feel horrible and just want to lay around and do nothing. I am coughing less but it is yukky. (no fever!!!)
Called and I am going into the doctor in the morning. Thank you, nurse Lynn!!!!
Getting off again, so I can close my eyes and possibly nap. Take care of all the lil eaglets for me!
feel better soon, Lolly
Lolly and Helen, take care and feel better soon:)
Going to GeeGee's No Silver alert needed:)
Hi, I am very new here. Why is there a blob on the screen?
not sure, could have been from a poop shoot from eaglet
Welcome, cp12.
Lolly, thank you for getting a Drs' apptmt.!! I feel better now, LOL!
Mits, how are YOU doing today? Any news from the zoo?
Had to redownload Flashplayer again...couldn't get our live cam up...okay now.
Parent startled Hidey on arrival....got a good look at her/his tail feathers!
Mantled as if protecting or hiding something from mom or dad! Gone just as quickly as arrived! No food.
about the same, Lynn, could not go to zoo today, been watching Mei, she has not moved from the spot since last night, never have seen her stay in one spot this long ever
WOW, HIDEY SCARED ME, thought he/she was going over the side...I guess that would be fatal.. huh???
MFM, it wouldn't necessarily be fatal if she fell off but it certainly wouldn't be good. Hopefully, we could get her placed back in the nest if there were no injuries. I was watching when she was doing that too and thought for sure she was going to do a backward fall.
Not Fatal - about a dozen of us local yocals would be speeding down to NCTC after calling the Main office to go pick up our Hidey! She probably would have flapped herself to safety. Only brush under the tree.
We really do get scared at times! It will continue to get scarier as she practices her wing exercises and jumping.
I thought she was going to fall as well.
Thanks for the welcome.
Not necessarily, MFM. Imagine that instinct would cause her to spread her wings and maybe catch a little air for a softer landing. Of course, we would notify the folks at NCTC if that happened and they would rush to her side. Two eaglets were thrown out a California nest last year by a predator and it was seen on cam---terrible attack---but viewers alerted the officials and even tho' they were further away than ours are, they got there and rescued them.
I am trying to keep a cheat sheet of bloggers names and the state from which they come!
cp12 & MFM what are your states?
Could staying put for so long be a good sign of pending motherhood, Helen?
thanks so much for all of your answers. We are of the faint of heart in this office. I dont know if we could continue to watch if something like that happened. I hear mom on the nest at HI. I assume that she is calling her mate for food/relief.It that right and have they had food today. Again we are worried
Poor Mei had to lay down to even potty! Bless her heart!
MINE IS GA. THOUGHT ABOUT CHANGING MINE TO GAGIRL. DIDNT KNOW IF I COULD GET IT DONE
yes, Lynn it could, have not seen her eat, which is another sign, looks like she is waking up now, sure they want to clean her den
they go potty even when they are sleeping
ha, Hidey is playing with a leaf
parent in nest eating behind the blob!
And parent gone...
Rain is a comin...probably in time for rush hour/evening...don't think I'll be mowing tonight...
well good, Mei is up and eating a carrot.
now eating some bamboo
Lots of long wing stretches today....
Which panda is on Cam 1 looking at us?
Mei is on cam 1
Paula, finally got SnagIt downloaded properly and it WORKS!!!! Haven't figured out how to send out a video yet, but haven't gotten any captures worth sending yet, so will figure it out when I do!!
I have a pileated woodpecker in the drama tree and a squirrel peeking around the tree at him. He is huge!
Seems like they would get a headache beating on trees like they do. There are pieces of bark flying everywhere!
Too bad he can't take care of the starling! :)
Won't do that, Shar, but he'll sure take care of the tree!!! If it's a healthy one, scare him away!!! I've always wondered why they don't get headaches, too!!!
Well, that smart feller knew to peck from the side to keep a big piece of bark from falling on him. It looks like he might have hit paydirt!
Did you take the pic just now????
I had one earlier out on a stump, but couldn't get camera fast enough!
Wind is really picking up here...not good with the gorund as wet as it is.
No, Lynn, I don't even own a camera. I steal all my pics on line. The main part of this tree is dead but there are a couple branches that still have leaves.
Beautiful pileated woodpecker! They really do get large!
Mits, hope that every day is a lot better for you...when is your next shift scheduled for? Mei better wait for you!!!
Forgot the date of MM's surgery...???
The dead trees are where they go!
He really must have hit paydirt in this one spot because he keeps pecking and turning his head to the side, munching down!
WHAT IS HIDEY EATING.I SEE HE IS USING HIS TALONS.........
Jerk neighbor let his dogs out and they chased off the woodpecker.
Good question MFM! I wish I knew. It has been there for some time & I don't know that it has been ID'd. It sure looks like a piece of paper!
Wow, that does look like they finally unearthed what was under the smudge....
I think that was Hamburger or steak in the nest...sitting in one of those styrofoam containers!!
Not really sure if that is styrofoam or paper...but seems like they were scavenging for sure!
Yesterday it speculated that Mom filched a sandwich from somewhere. It was hard to tell because of "the blob". Now it looks like the empty ziplock bag is all that's left. Hidey just dragged it out into clear view. I'm sticking with my sandwich theorem.
I could agree with that but ziplock bags are clear, not white. It is clear that it was pilfered from somewheres!
Unless of course, it was a deli sandwich wrapped in paper....:):)
I personally like the thought of them swiping a steak of off someone's grill.
Oh, wow, that would be so funny, robbing neighbor's grills! Easy catch!
Avian petty larceny.
Last year and year before, at the Puleston osprey cam, the osprey kept bringing in koi and goldfish to the nest. They were obviously robbing someone's pond!
Now that piece of whatever looks more like a plastic bag....
Sigh..more rain's a'coming, and maybe a storm brewing, sprinkles here now.
Hope everyone has a Good Evening !
If it's Wednesday, then this must be Hump Day , for the Monday through Friday-ers anyway. ☺
Going in for 12 soon, hours that is. "See" you all sometime Thursday.
xo ☺ ♥
We'll miss ya being here with us!
I got a CRAZY frog in the mail today!
WHOO HOO!Just like the one I disected in Biology lab! This one doesn't smell like
formaldehyde.....
Dinne time and I have Corn Bread!
BBL
Sigh...just when I was getting something accomplished outside, raining here again. Light rain so far, but looks like it will be pouring shortly.
Not even gonna try and race home to beat the rain...I can see it's not gonna happen.
Belle is tenting over Hidey!! Can't see him!
Rain here now too.
It's raining again & there's Belle (or Lib?) sheltering Hidey. Such good parents!!!
Pouring here now...just when I have to go out! Need to get softener salt and corn for the feeder since SIL's bro will be tomorrow so I can get him to carry to where needed.
ARGH! Rain, rain go away...come again some other day!
BTW....one year at the beach we had a seagull take chicken right off the grill...he dropped it because it was so hot...the Mr. rinsed it off and put it back on the grill....kids thought that was sick!!!
BBL.
Catch ya'll later!
BWE I thought it was tenting but then realized it must be mantling by the young ones! Take a look
I have no clue where they went - They really were mantling!
Taking a short break to watch some news.
BBL
I have another nest, this one a kestrel nest in Nebraska. Three eggs have hatched, two more to go!
Kestrel Nest in Lincoln, NE
I have to finish mowing, rain is coming later tonight. BBL
Watching the feeding of the 2 eaglets by the adult at the Two Harbors nest.
They are hungry grabby little ones.
Adult just took off from West End Nest - Those 2 eaglets are growing!
Is anyone out there watching Belle???? WHERE'S HIDEY????? Please tell me she is in there in front of Belle....it looks like it is raining really hard and when I checked earlier it was VERY WINDY!!! Eagle-Eyed Sharon??? Sissy???
Hidey is there all right! Being tented over by Belle from the rain! We just started another cloud burst!
Sherrill - in which state do you live?
Sherrill, it was really pouring a short while ago at the nest. Hidey is always sheltered by Lib or Belle when it rains hard. You are from WV, c orrect?
Ahhhh...thanks!!! I'm so relieved!!! Yes...I do live in WV...Fayette County as a matter of fact!!! Eagle-Eyed Sharon and I have been e-mailing each other!!! That's why I cried out for their help..LOL!!!!
I actually think I see Hidey now...she is right behind the 'smudge'!!! LOL
Well, I went out to get supper and came back and wondered the same thing - Where is Hidey?? I am glad you knew Jo! Good evening everyone.
Stupid Baltimore neighbor news -
Last week he planted 2 trees. It has rained nonstop since then. He was just out there with the water hose watering them. DUH!!
Probably when he's finished he'll wash his driveway.....
Now that is 2 really wet birds!
I am done mowing, need to get cleaned up and eat. I think another Kestrel hatched I see a broken egg shell.
HI, EVERYONE! Just now catching up with e-mails & blogs. Have been SO busy with laundry & housework today! Don't know quite what hit me. LOL :o] Believe it or not, I am envying your rainy weather! It's about 82 and sunny here in SoCal. Supposed to be 84 or 85 tomorrow, hot thru the weekend. Only trouble is, hot weather makes me wilt! Mema Jo, thanks for the link to the Beatles' 'Here Comes the Sun' this morning!! It certainly made my morning, and what a NICE blast from the past!
Looks like it's still raining there... at least our Hidey has some company! By the way, if that really is a ziploc bag or plastic wrap in the nest from yesterday, is Hidey in any danger if she eats a piece of it? Doesn't sound like it's good for eaglet innards! She seems really smart, though-- probably wouldn't mess with it. Routine job for her guardian angel! Oops-- hubby's home. I'll BBL! Take care... :o]
Redoubt is building again, they changed their message today, but haven't changed the status back to red yet.
Seismic activity remains elevated, with nearly constant volcanic tremor detected at the summit. Ongoing rockfalls have re-mobilized small amounts of ash into the air at lower elevations around the summit.
An explosive event could occur at any time with little or no warning. AVO continues to monitor Redoubt's activity 24/7.
Hidey is now clearly visible....Belle had him covered really well!
I don't think they will eat the paper/plastic. It's been there since yesterday....they have eaten what's in it!
Going to dig into the paperwork tonight...
Looks like the rain has stopped at the nest.
Drying off wing flaps now, standing at the launchpad, backwards!
The launchpad is right were the smudge is! I think that's paper! Hidey's wings just blew it around in the nest!
BTW, I sent emails to Steve and myoutdoortv about the sound.
That white thing in the nest looked like Hidey's tail feathers for the little bit she was lined up with it. I thought we had two adults in the nest and then she moved!
Belle just shook off and went up into the tree
I emailed Steven too, but since he is out of town this week, guess he cannot do anything
OMG, she just about tripped right out of the nest! My heart cannot take this!
Watching her standing there like that just takes my mind right back to Spunky's fledge. My heart is racing like that too almost!
He's got to learn balance...sure is nerve wracking tho!
Hidey doesn't even know he almost fell!
Does anyone know what that white thingy is on the left of the nest?
