DEB - Good to see you. Hope you got to watch the transmitter placement - something else.
Thanks Sharon! :-D
Hi Deb, how are you today?? Been thinking about ya!
Well we just did the 200 count SPLIT Deb had just posted the link for you to NBG - but here it is again
NBG Site
I am just checking in. I have been busy getting stuff in order, so I can take off for California. I will know more on that later today. Thanks again to all of you, your hugs and prayers have meant a lot to me.
I had opened the cam earlier today, Jo, so I could watch it. I missed it while it was happening, but did get to rewind and watch it later.
It won't play on windows vista
:(
Take care Deb and know that we are all
thinking of you and sending you all our positive thoughts and prayers. I'm sure you can also feel our arms around you expressing our love for you.
(((hugs))) ♥
I forget what kind of pine tree that is called at NBG.
Mits - the PH eaglets are the ones that died a couple of days after they hatched...biologists aren't sure why they died.
Sequoia - :>(
I can't help you with the Vista....
Need to take a break....
Morning is long gone and I am not with it yet!
BBL
A parent returned!!
A parent returned!!
LOL, could hear the peeping...adult was just there...now gone...think Hidey wants more fish!!
thanks, Paula.
It says I have to manually install a plugin. I don't want to put too many plugins on this laptop. It would hog up the memory.
I looked at the Hornby Island cam. Hope pooped all over the cam. LOL!
You see Hidey advancing immediately and mantling when the adult flew into the nest?
That's what I speculated yesterday had been missing in his behavior and the reason the adults weren't feeding him as often.
They really need that aggressive approach to getting their food once they leave the nest area; and thank goodness Hidey has it now.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Parent alert!
Hi Deb,
I am new on here, but I read of your father's sudden death and I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am and that I have said a prayer for you and your family.
Parent back and eating...
Catch ya'll later
Jim, Hidey has been mantling for weeks...and he's getting plenty of eats....
Belle is now feeding Hidey something I don't recognize.
I guess Liberty delivered...didn't see it, heard the vocalization increase.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Lunch is on for Hidey. Looks like Belle has landed and is feeding her baby.
Hello Movin, That was really neat the way Hidey's aggressive nature showed
OH MY GOODNESS..what an emotional day. I just did not want to answer any phones while this was going on.. how big those little guys are, and sooo tamed...I would have loved to be one of the guys in the nest.. such a site to behold..GODS creatures...soo amazing. I could only look on in AWE!!!!!
Parent just left the nest.
PROUD TO ANNOUNCE
Lori is the 132nd member of the
Eaglet Momsters/Dadster Yahoo site!
Welcome Lori!
Congrats Lori;)
How cool is that!! Growing my leaps and bounds!
that Delta 1 nest un-nerves me bad. those babies are getting big and the nest is so small
Black(?) are attacking the parent at Delta 1.. what gives??
oops.. that would be birds (black?)
i was getting ahead of myself
Some nests I choose not to watch. Don't want to see anything bad happening anywhere.
Deb, good to see you, dear friend. Have been thinking about you all night and day. Hugs and love coming your way.
Both ends of the country and age spectrum....10 y.o. schoolmate of my gd (will find out if classmate when she gets home from school) also died in a traffic incident yesterday after getting off school bus---her grandfather was driving her home from busstop.
very sad, Lynn:(
I sure hope that the new job people are treating you right, Deb. Any idea how soon you'll be leaving for CA?
there is a huge size difference among the Sydney eaglets, the littlest one keeps mimicking the older one in every thing it does
Sydney Nest
Oh Deb!!! I have just learned about your loss. Sending you love and (((hugs))) and lots of prayers. So sorry!!!
I was on facebook and saw where Sissy said something about her friend Deb loosing her Dad. I immediatly thought "NOT our Deb!" Hurried to the blog. Have not been on since yesterday morn.
Hi all! Joseph's team won again last night. He played well but was not the hero of the game like last week. Wish we lived closer so I could go to all his games.
This morning was so beautiful, we ate breakfast on the patio and sat out there and I did not get on the blog. Missed out on the NBG event. Will go and look at pictures.
Also, see that Mei is not PG. Really sorry about that.
I am going to head outside again. Will be back later.
Watched AI and Dancing when I got home late last night. Will be watching AI again tonight.
BBL
Our nest looks so serene!
Parent is back! Then left!.... That quick!
Maybe the wind will encourage Hidey to take flight!
Man!! I thought sure Hidey was gonna take flight!! That is the closest I've seen yet!
Hopefully, Hidey won't leave the nest for at least 1 or 2 more weeks. Still a little too early yet.
All I can say is that if (s)he 's going to fledge early, it better be Sat. while we are watching!!!
I thought she was to leave the nest any day now. Did not know it was too soon. Thanks for letting me know!
Hey Lynn too,
why did you mention watching on Saturday specificly for if Hidey is going to fledge?
well Hidey will only be 10 weeks this Saturday....too soon
we (me and people at our office) are new to this and we are wanting to know what the baby eaglets name is!? and when he/she was born!? k, thanks.
eaglets, name is Hidey or Miracle, whichever you like to call it....hatched March 14th
thanks mits. is there a way to tell if the eaglet is a boy or girl!?
Welcome Brittney. The only way to tell the sex for sure is with a DNA test. How did you hear about the camera?
We have a parent in the nest!
Parent has returned with food!
Hidey must have a full gut, letting parent eat while she lays in the nest.
Ok, so I spoke too soon. Hidey trying to fight parent for the food now. I think it is probably Belle and she is feeding Hidey now.
Well that little Hidey sure took her good ole time getting up for her snack, although as usual she has lots to say!
we've been calling the eaglet junior!! we heard about the camera through a co-worker. we're all animal lovers and very fascinated by it :)
Brittney, where do you live?
Parent just left.
SIL's bro has been here since noon...taking down dead trees, fixed the fence in the dogs' yard where an old stump that the fence was attached to decided to fall over--yikes! Measured for what he needs to fix some soffit boards. Emptied the ash barrell. Cleaned out driveway culvert and trimmed along the road where the mower won't go. $$$$ adding up! And still more stuff on the list. Isn't homeownership lovely?
charleston, wv.
I live in Bluefield WV and my son is moving to Scott Depot in July.
chalk up another fan from WV! Welcome Brittany and co-workers!
GA GIRL....I just saw those black birds you spoke of earlier attacking the eagle on the nest Delta 1..I thought maybe crows because they have a rep for harrassing raptors, but usually they make a lot of noise. Not sure now what those were.
I feel like a foreigner!!!!!
But you live in the great state of Georgia, home of our precious little Luney (Xi Lan) at Atlanta Zoo!
Ok, I'm gonna play the ignorant card. What exactly is mantling?
Just talked to gd...the little girl was her "best friends'" sister.....of course, little girls have lots of best friends, so don't know really how close! Jenn seems to be handling it well. Counselors at school, but she said she didn't need to talk to anybody.
So true. we are thinking of paying her a visit this weekend.. weather permitted
Hey...I am a WVU football fan!!
Mantling is when the eaglet snatches the food and covers it with his wings. His way of saying thats my food!
Lynne, about 19 of us are making a nest visit Sat. WANT TO JOIN US????
Stevie, our Normabyrd will love you. GO EERS!
Mantling is when the eaglet grabs the food and hovers over it to keep anybody else from getting it. Most of us had to ask these same questions!
Are the babies ok at The Norfolk Botanical Garden cam? Only one seems to be up and about. :-(
oh wow, would I ever love to see the nest in person! But we're having our best friend's son over for the weekend and we promised to take him fishing on Saturday :(
Thanks for the info!
Tell him you are still taking him fishing, just to the Potomac River.
I think the NBG babies are fine, just wiped out from their big day! I've seen them stretching and looking around.
I think the NBG babies are fine, just wiped out from their big day! I've seen them stretching and looking around.
well Sharon, I could give it a try, but I think I'll be outvoted because this particular place on Loch Raven Resevoir where he wants to go is lously with Yellow Perch, but the weed beds are growing up fast and and very soon the fishing will be next to impossible til fall again.
Stevie, you have lots of company if you are an 'eer fan....especially Norma!! I'm a transplant....doesn't mean a thing to me....I'm loyal to the DC, MD and VA schools!
Ok, thanks Lynne. :-)
yum I love yellow perch:)
Well gang, thanks for the chatting today! Gotta get dinner started now, maybe see you later or tomorrow!
Deb just catching up on comments. Please know that I am very very sorry for the lose of your Dad. Praying for you and the family.
We are 3rd for Yesterday on Beakspeak and Last 7 Days we are "2nd" ( :
Welcome all these great newcomers and those coming back. Great to have you all in here.
Evening all in Eagleland!
Lynne I use to fish Loch Raven Resevoir. We had to use an electric motor. Couldn't use gas motors. Is it still that way?
Paula !
Fantastic narrative of the placement of the transmitter... Thank you so very much...
Deb...good to see you, Bright One. We wish we could be with you, but as you know, our open arms extend across the country, as well as across the pond to our overseas Momsters.
Love and Continued Prayers for you and your family.
Bozzett if you drop back in. Welcome to this great blog. I use to be on everyday. Now on M,W, & F off to Winchester with hubby for Arthritic pool class.
You are close to Whiteacre aren't you?
Almost time to go home! Yay! 12 hours is a long long time
Catch ya all later!
The beauty of that "Common Loon" (a name that does not seem appropriate !) in Minnesota, is indescribable. Wouldn't sound be great at that cam?
*Good Eagle Afternoon to Everyone... *
Hope your day has been blessed with special sights and sounds, love and warmth, comfort and wellness xo
Later Aimeecat.
Margy those words were just beautiful ( :
Lynn
So very sorry and saddened to hear of the accident and death of the ten year old little girl classmate of your grand-daughter. Prayers for the family, and your little grand-daughter and her friends.
..Thank you Dana.... it's good to see you here, you brighten up the page ☼ ☼
Still catching up on comments. I love vick37's comment. He had ask for prayer which I and I know others on this blog started praying. He says he now has an appt for an MRI....yeah The power of PRAYER!!
Miracle Hidey is on top of the world ☺
din din bell tolls wbl
Hi friends ....just dropping in before calling it a nite! I got a scare when I looked and saw Hidey way at the top...almost out of view...for a minute there...was a bit concerned!
I join the WVU gang! I was born in Fairmont and although grew up in VA...consider it still my 'home'!
Somebody needs to get Hidey back on the dance floor....i dont like this edge thing!
I've been to Cross Junction several times, Bozzett...beautiful country there...hope I got that right, your location
Welcome, by the way, I don't think I got around to saying that yet,
and also
to all the newcomers today and the last few days ! ☺ Dana had good suggestion...Dinner...back after some chow
OH NEVER MIND, WHOLE FAMILY IN THE NEST !!
Ask and ye shall receive!
Huge Fish, wanna see if it is still wiggling !
Is this 'normal' for Hidey to be so 'squawky'? I swear this just started big time this week right?
hard to see the fish now due to the smudge but it was a biggie
Crunchy and Stringy !
the silhouette of Belle from the Sunshine and shadows is great !
Back in the day, Belle would have hopped across the nest to 1 o'clock with that meal....now it is up to Hidey
Someone with more expertise will better answer your "Squawky" question Bozzett....I would only say, more squawky in the last week or so, and getting a more grown up voice.
wow...that was something...i love the look on Hidey's face when Belle ate what the little darling thought was coming his/her way. this was a wonderful way to end this gorgeous day....got to close down dear friends as another early day at work tomorrow...what a wonderful wonderful way to end the day!
and yes Magpie...Cross Junction is where I am...a lovely place indeed!
Hey there WVAgal Dana! I was having dinner, sorry for the delay...yep, still the same, no gas in Loch Raven, Or Liberty or Prettyboy in this area because they all provide Baltimore City with drinking water. If you are familiar with Prettyboy, my picture was taken there with the rainbow!
Having lots of trouble with the Hughes cop. Trying to stay on, but losing the battle, I fear.
I'd like to clobber that Hugnesnet cop Lynn: No fair !
Okay, NOW for that chow here.
Be Back Later xo
Bye Bozzett, know you are already gone :(
Hi Lynne 2 ☺
Hi Magpie! I am watching the Loon Nest as well, and they are beautiful and you are right, sound would be GREAT!
amazing close up of eagle baby with her new tracking device on the NBG site! They are beautiful!
I didn't leave yet Lynne 2 - your avatar is stunning!
Welcome to our community....
it's a great place ☺
TTFN xoxo
that's short for Ta Ta For Now, BTW- oh I mean, By The Way ☺
Some eagles are more vocal than others. The parents are really pretty quiet at this nest. When you have HI nest open, they are extremely vocal. I guess it is just like people, some are quiet, some are squawky!
Remember that we can vote and vote and vote for Bob Qinn's photo in the Chesapeake Bay Foundation contest.
Link to voting for Robert Quinn photo
Good description Deb.... reminds me of myself, hence the moniker ☺
and I guess my next avatar should be a boomerang...keep coming back...
xo ♥
Lynne beautiful avatar. I don't remember Prettyboy. Will have to look at map to see if every there. Liberty sounds familiar. Loved fishing Loch Raven for BASS.
Bozzett use to travel around Whiteacre and Grimes a lot early
80's.
I took that picture on my first "official" date with my now husband last summer. (we'd been friends for years) It was like an omen or something!
Bass season opens June 15! For keeping that is, catch and release right now.
Just read this from the Loch of the Lowes osprey nest:
20 May 2009Despite the sad news yesterday about the loss of one of the chicks - the third egg successfully hatched this morning at 8:26 am!We are keeping our fingers crossed for this little one.
19 May 2009Unfortunately one of the osprey chicks has died, probably due to the amount of rain over the last few days; however, on a good note, the third egg is still hatching so fingers crossed for another chick.
Jo: thanks for resposting the Bob site I was up most of the night watching that egg hatch, was like watching grass grow at times, I finally had to hit the sack in the final hour of the hatch, but did see big cracking and movement inside the nest, so cool. First time for me.
xo
Mark your calendar On Wednesday, May 27th, the Dept. of Environmental Protection and the Pennsylvania Game Commission will host the annual Peregrine Falcon Banding Event at the Rachel Carson State Office Building in Harrisburg, PA from 12:30 - 2:00 p.m.
There are 5 falcon chicks to be banded.
It is very interesting to see it being done - teachers & school age children are present. They bring them off the ledge into the large auditorium
Lynn-Magpie glad the 3rd egg hatch ty for the info.
Hey Dana - good to see you. Is Ed feeling any better?
Gotta go water the plants and walk the doggies....BBL
Hey Lynne 2 - great fishing around the nest. Lib is testament to that!!
Hey Paula! I can see that the fishing is good and will use that to make my case for changing the plan for Saturday! And thanks for the constant updates during the NBG process this morning!
You may be interested to know that Dr. Sharpe and the IWS are planning on banding the Two Harbors nest eaglets on Friday, May 22nd and the West End nest eaglets on Friday, June 5th.
The Two Harbors nest has 2 chicks (hatch dates 3/26 and 3/28). It was the FIRST TIME this nest was left to hatch naturally. The camera is located here: Two Harbors Nest http://www.iws.org/bald_eagles/twoharborscam.html BANDING DAY IS FRIDAY, MAY 22nd 2009.
The West End nest has 2 chicks (hatch dates 4/7 and 4/9) It was also the FIRST TIME this nest was left to hatch naturally. The Camera is located here: West End Nest http://www.iws.org/bald_eagles/westendcam.html BANDING DAY IS FRIDAY, JUNE 5th 2009.
Please check Nest Watch http://z7.invisionfree.com/CHIL_EagleCAM/index.php?showforum=5 or the IWS Eagle Forum http://s11.zetaboards.com/IWS_Eagle_Forum/index/ on the day of the event (Friday, May 22nd and Friday, June 5th) for approximate times.
Paula he is over the bacteria infection. Although his oxygen levels are not right. Will know more after CT Scan w/contrast May 29 and June 10th breathing test. Thank you for asking.
Kentucky Osprey still 2 chicks and 1 egg yet to hatch.

Lynn-Hedgie we do have another Lynne and she spells her name the same; it is grannyblt she is Lynne.
Things are starting to come together, not on our time schedule, but on CA time schedule. it will be at least 7-10 days before we can have the services. Since we have to wait that long, we are looking at June 10, because that is a time that works for all the people who travel. Everyone that is there is meeting now to see if they can talk Judy into that. I would think she would want as many of the family there as possible.
Deb - does that mean a memorial service for your dad?
I hope that works out OK, Deb.
Hidey is looking around for dinner....gonna have to settle for placing sticks instead! Ooops, broke a piece off of one...hope Lib didn't see that :)
Now plotzed in the nest...gonna go walk the dogs, got the watering done.
Geeses...
Yes, he wanted to be buried at the military cemetery in Riverside, CA. I am not sure why CA is so slow, but that is the way it is.
Night light is on but doesn't look like Hidey is ready to settle down yet.
I am going to be in front of the TV 9-11 for Criminal Minds. I'll stay that long IF it is interesting. I like th3 characters they have.
I'll check in during commercials....
BBILW
Both eaglets in nest at BWE
Hidey is over at 2:00 position
Spidey is starting to spin the web
season finale for CM, Jo....I have been cleaning out the fridge, freezer, into cupboards now to get rid of the stale stuff and go to store tomorrow, got furniture back outside...I'm tired:(
foggy at FINNEY'S NEST
That is where I am going also Jo Criminal Minds.
Stunning early foggy morning at Finney (LAND) nest and one beautiful osprey perched in the nest.
What Osprey is NOT beautiful ??
Hidey is frisky tonight, and something is a'rattlin' the mike.
Yes, Paula, that works for me. I guess those that had started looking at plane tickets were getting outrageous prices. You eventually get some of it back for bereavement fares, but not that much.
Helen, take care of those ribs!
Deb We are grateful that you can be here on the Blog with us and keep us updated on the arrangements.
Even in your time of loss, you are providing comfort to US by your presence here.
Mits...
I guess we were inspired to check those Finland cams by the same feeling...Water nest is brightening up slowly too.
Deb mentioned earlier that our adult eagles do not vocalize too much. Would be really neat if they would make more noise. Wonder why not.....
I guess I also wonder just what becomes of the Spider Web from one night to the next, sometimes, no web, sometimes an elaborate work of art. (More so if the Spider stays out of sight of course .)
Good evening everybody.
Good to see you on here Deb. I know this is a really sucky time for you! Love ya!
In my opinion, it is possible that our eagles are not as vocal as others because, although there is some threat of intruders, maybe the threat is not much as in other nests. Just a thought.
Helen mentioned a rather frivolous 9-1-1 call on the blog the other night. Recently when I was taking a call for a seizure, we ask a series of questions so we can provide pre-arrival instructions if needed...while someone else on the crew starts the ambulance...one of the family members there was threatening to TURN ME IN IF I DID NOT QUIT ASKING SO MANY QUESTIONS. :(Fortunately, the outcome was OK.)
So, keep your bail money ready for me, friends.
What a helicopter..wonder if it is headed this way.
Hi Double E-S - that sounds like a pretty good theory to me !
Okla Eagle looking mighty fine tonight !
bird off nest at Finney's
for one refresh. When I noticed it could see parent soaring away in the distance, and three eggs, next pic showed new adult and three eggs about to be covered up which they already are now.
Time to get something (else) done around here.
See you all later...
Yes, Dana, know about grannyblt! So she's Lynne 1, new Lynne is 2 and I'm just plain Lynn!! And I posted that info about Dr.Sharpe yesterday, so we must have gotten the same email!
Deb, sometimes it's the fact that it IS a military funeral. WW II vets are passing at such a rapid rate that to do a proper military ceremony, it's long-range planning.
Family friend ( man who's wife shared hospital room w/ my mom and gave birth same day I was born) who died 4/2 is being buried at Arlington National Cememtery and it's not until 17 June....all family local.
Not so sure about Criminal Minds program tonight....... YUCK!
It must depend upon how busy the particular cemetary is...Arlington is very busy. My SIL father died last year...they had burial in 7 days - military cemetary, can't remeber the name...near Gambrills MD.
AI final is tonight, turned it on just in time. Rod Stewart on...winner to be revealed soon. Did anyone watch it last night?
Oh come on, Lynn, you are NOT just plain Lynn, you are just the Lynn without the E!!
You are right about the military funerals, and the WW2 vets, my husband and I just read yesterday that they are passing at the average rate of 1,024 per day.
Once again Deb, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
OMG what an idiot was just on AI
Well, I am going to have a weekend full of eagle watching! I am meeting some Cruzers from the CHIL forum on Sunday at Susquehannock State Park in PA, which is near Lancaster. Then we are going to head toward the Conowingo dam area. I am eagle watching with Deb (Harpo) and her hubby, Gary (NY), Karen & Keith (PA), Pete (Baltimore), Jeanne (NY), and Nancy (PA).
Wow another surprise ending...thought Adam would win, although I didn't watch it last night
The crowd doesn't sound overly enthused.
NBG eaglet that got the transmitter had to be named, cause of the tracking...her name is Azalea.
Full article and video
MBG eaglet gets transmitter
They also have pics up on the NBG site
That sounds like fun, Paula! I hope you see lots of eagles.
That should be NBG not MBG!!
Wow...can't believe that Kris won AI....even tho' I was pulling for him by the end, was sure that Adam would win the youth vote....SURPRIZE!!!
Karen and Keith have been to both places before, they already know where all the nest with eaglets are. They also went down to NBG today for the banding.
Wow, Paula, full weekend for sure!
Fun,fun,fun!!
LOL...Lynne, I always hated that mine wasn't spelled w/ the E!!!
Bad news for CBS Tues. night fans---like me.....Without a Trace has been canceled for next season. What a bunch of b---!
Watch out for stowaways in your car's trunk or back seat Paula when you leave Shepherdstown Saturday ! ☺
Fog has cleared at Finney's - now Finland has it
I was so happy to see Kris win. Adam is a fantastic singer and will go VERY far in his career, but Kris is more an AMERICAN IDOL. Don't want an idol who wears sparkly eyeliner and black nail polish:)
Good evening! Seems like I have not been on much lately. Spending a lot of time outdoors. Tonight we ate dinner out and then I watched AI as I had recorded it. Can not believe Adam did not win. I really thought he would. He is going to make a name for himself win or not. Like Chris better but thought Adam had it.
I was REALLY surprized last night with the win of Shawn Johnson. She would have been my last pick of the three contestents left. Not that I didn't like her, she just wasn't as good as the other two. Wanted Gilles to win:( Happy for Deb that her winning choice won:)
Well, Wanda, we said about the same thing about Adam and Chris. I actually got where I liked Adam. I really disliked him at first, but he changed his appearance and did not have any more really funky performances.
I was surprised too about last night, I expected Giles to win but wanted Melissa to win.
I better take the chance before it is too late...
Good Night to all heading for the pillows...sleep sweetly, may your dreams tonight become your blessings tomorrow. May comfort and strength, love and wellness find you every moment And, God Bless Us, Every One from your friend, Magpie xoxo ♥
Dislike it when I watch 2 hrs of of show (Criminal Minds) and then have to say "That was a stupid ending"!
so Jo, who was that masked man????
have fun Paula, I have heard that area is a hot spot :)
Oh, by the way, Bear at the Snowman cam, like the still view better than the "live one."
Don't think Hidey is Sound asleep but is lying in the egg well.
Mei is still in the birthing den corner all curled up. Seems a shame to have her go through all these symptoms and not have a little cub to show for it all.
heading in for the night, will take out the bags of trash tomorrow, hate to have to throw this stuff away, but that is what I get for not coming down for 8 months:(
There's Da Bear!
And maybe a cub..... Snowman Cam
Margy, refresh my memory about the 911 call???
Have a good night.
Hugs to all ♥
Sending an Extra big hug to Deb ♥
