WOWSIE What a Huge Fish

Mema Jo said...

Hidey is being very polite & patient!
For now at least.

Costume Lady said...

Hi, Jo, I was wondering what they were eating...didn't see it come in.

Costume Lady said...

Getting a little pushy...must be really hungry.

Mema Jo said...

I can't tell if Hidey is mantling the fish or not.....
Hope someone makes a move so we know what is going on.....

Costume Lady said...

Looks like they are having a showdown!

Mits said...

ok let's share now:)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I just had the oriole at my bird feeder! I am so excited. My little chipmunk is back too. I got some cracked corn for him!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Awww, little baby is getting fed!

Bob Quinn said...

Hey Wanda - Did you see my new fox shots?

Costume Lady said...

I think Hidey is ready for BIG bites. Mom is too cautious.

Costume Lady said...

Sharon, what is the Oriole feeding on? Hummer feeder?

Mits said...

hey Bob, I was just on your pic site voting for you again, and again, and again;)

Mema Jo said...

Beaking! Funny!

Headed to CVS

BBL

Costume Lady said...

No, Bob...on my way there now.

Ricky376 said...

tug of war

Bob Quinn said...

Thanks Helen. With all the support from you guys and from Lisa posting over at the BW Friends site, I should have a real shot.

Costume Lady said...

BOB...I can't find them, where are they?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Wanda, the oriole was just at the bird seed. I have never seen that before.

Mits said...

I vote all day, Bob

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am not much into the sound of a fish being ripped to shreds! :)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I need the website again to vote for Bob!

Bob Quinn said...

Wanda - they're here:

New Photos

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Alvin comes and fills up his jaws and then goes away. Comes back and starts all over again! :)

Bob Quinn said...

Sharon here's the link:

Vote HereThanks!

hedgie said...

Vote for Bob!!
Bob's VotingSiteWanda, Bob's fox pics are on the link he posted this am!

hedgie said...

Hey Red, sorry to miss you. And Bibee, too. Hope you both stick around awhile...and feel better.
Bob, how did Norma like the cardinal pic?? Don't remember that she ever mentioned it on here.

Costume Lady said...

I wasn't on here this morning and missed the excitment of Bob's new photos.
The fox photos melts my heart. It looks like you ought to be able to pick them up and hold and pet them. I think I will have to have one of those photos.
BOB YOU OUTDID YOURSELF THIS TIME...just for that, I'm going to go vote for you again, for the 15the time:)

Bob Quinn said...

Lynn - I haven't heard from Norma on the cardinal pic. We never seem to be on th board at the same time and I don't know that she got her email working yet.

T-Bird said...

hello all my eagle momsters and dadsters

Costume Lady said...

Norma probably won't be back on here til morning. We will say something to her then, Bob.

T-Bird said...

I know it's a little late but I want to thank all that made it to the visit this past weekend. It was sure great seeing you all.

T-Bird said...

We missed all of you that couldn't make it.

Costume Lady said...

Hi, Thelma...Rested up from the weekend yet? Fun, wasn't it?

Bob Quinn said...

Wanda - I was really surprised that fox let me just snap away without running off. It was still there when I left. It was trying to beat the heat in the shade under the refuge's mini van.

Costume Lady said...

Capt. Eagle is on his fishing trip, so I am about to have supper all alone:( BBL

Costume Lady said...

Well, Bob, we are just going to have to call you the FOX WHISPERER;)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yeah, what T-bird said!! THANKS EVERYBODY!

T-Bird said...

Later Wanda-yes it sure was.

paula eagleholic said...

Catch ya'll later!

T-Bird said...

hedgie said...

Panda cub born in Thailand...they didn't know she was preggers...they had tried unsuccessfully for years...even played mating videos for their pair to "teach them" what to do!! LOL!!

T-Bird said...

that's great Hedgie

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mating videos?? PANDA PORN? :)

T-Bird said...

Yeah Eagle-Eye, what would be that learning curve? : )

hedgie said...

LOL, Sharon and Thelma...and there are people who call US voyeurs!!!

Mits said...

maybe they should send the porno videos to Mei and Tian

Mits said...

loon cam still experiencing difficulties, they apologize for the inconvenience....

T-Bird said...

Well gang I'm signing off for now. I hope you all have a great evening.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Loon cam is back!

floralgirl said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CEIL :) hope you are having a great birthday!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Megan, I was waiting on you this morning for a birthday song for Ceil!

Mits said...

yes, Megan, me too:)

Mits said...

not a BD till Megan sings;0

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

That is exactly right. Megan, we are waiting . . .

Mits said...

off to fix dinner, only 1 more cupboard in laundry room, then will head to master bath and bedroom and clean out my closet

floralgirl said...

Well, better late than never...maybe...it'll be stuck in your head now- BIRTHDAY♫♪♫♪♫♫♫♪

Mits said...

sun was out for a while...still shining in the west, but fog rolling in from the east....

Mits said...

I'm still singing the bumble bee song and the bubble song from the weekend:)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thanks Megan! ☺

floralgirl said...

No problem...
Just came in to check the radar, see some showers that may come our way, can't tell for sure yet. Great planting weather, gotta get back to it. CU later:)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hey, Mits, can you record it and put it on Youtube?? :)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Great pics Paula! I love Picasa, can download the whole album onto my computer!!

Mema Jo said...

WOWSIE Little Loon in on the Adult Loon's back I kept looking and looking in the water to hopefully see Little Loon swim past...... & there he is.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Little loon on the parent's back! Too cute!

Mits said...

lol, Sharon, I'll get right on that

deb said...

I see little Loonie too-- What a cutie! I have to go and mow, bbl!

paula eagleholic said...

Could only see 2 eaglets in the NBG nest before it went off...the other may be branching.

Did ya'll hear that Eaglet 1 is male and 2 and 3 are females at NBG?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

That has to be one of the most adorable things Mother Nature has to offer!!! That baby just appears out of the wing!

paula eagleholic said...

Cool, Sissy, I didn't know that....

got the Sunday pics done too....will post the link on the EM blog....

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I bet Momma is wishing that baby would settle down!

Mema Jo said...

Hidey is up and moving!

paula eagleholic said...

OK, posted Sunday's eagle watching pics as well

Eaglet Momsters Blog BBL - dog walking time!

Mema Jo said...

Had a phone call - seems to always happen at the wrong time!

Little Loon is in the water swimming around with a parent thank goodness...
And as I type this I miss seeing how Little Loon got back up on the nest! Now I don't see him unless he is under the parent's wing.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Paula!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Jo, that little darlin' just climbed right up on the front of the nest.

Mema Jo said...

I just can't get over how agile Little Loon is! It is going to be really cute when we get 2 Little Loons coming out
of the parent's wings! lol

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Well my lovely friends of fur and feathers! I am going to watch some TV with Mattie and then hit the bed!

Little Loon is on daddy's back in the water!!! Way too cute!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Norma was right, she knew I would fall in love with this cam!

hedgie said...

Paula, slideshows are great!! Looks like you had a fun Sunday, too. Paula Eagleholic's Excellent Weekend!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Little Loon made it out of the water!! What a baby!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Ok, I really am going in the other room, with my laptop of course.

hedgie said...

Found out a little earlier that our area has lost another young police officer to cancer. Prayers for comfort for his family, friends and co-workers, please.

deb said...

Taking a mowing break. Paula, WOW! Great pictures, what a wonderful experience for all of you.

deb said...

Little Loonie is going for a swim! Maybe, on the edge of the nest still.

deb said...

Nope, changed his mind, back under Mom.

Costume Lady said...

Is that cute or what? Baby Loonie jumped in the water to be with parent:) Deb, can you tell Mom from Dad?

Mits said...

Dad's feathers are prettier:)

deb said...

No, Wanda, just guessing that it is Mom on the nest!

Mits said...

I agree Deb, the other ones, feathers are more colorful around the neck

Mema Jo said...

Also the loon's size like our eagles may be a good way to tell the female as she should be larger. I'll try to confirm what I just said!

Costume Lady said...

I tried to see a difference in the two yesterday, but couldn't. Thought maybe they were gay and had stolen the eggs;)

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Jo, I did think I saw a difference in size.

Costume Lady said...

Hey, Helen...I had a RIB-eye for supper and didn't have a problem with that:) LOL

deb said...

They share incubating duties, so I guess it could be either one. The book doesn't say anything about differences between male and female.

deb said...

Finally found this:


The male is slightly larger than the female, but otherwise the two sexes look identical.

Mema Jo said...

I also found that both sexes have similar measurements! So you can't size them up very well! Must be the feathers!

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey is perched at 2ish

Mema Jo said...

REMEMBER: Hidey is at 2:30 position!
Found the favorite perching place.

Mema Jo said...

LOL Paula! Taking time to get our sighting of Hidey... I couldn't even find the feet last night in the dark!

deb said...

I have got to get my mowing done. BBL

Mema Jo said...

Ceil
I am hoping that you celebrated with a large piece of cake and a glass of wine and that your daywas very special

paula eagleholic said...

Gotta go tackle some chores....bbl

Mits said...

lol, Wanda:)

Unknown said...

Has the Eagle flew the nest? I came back from church service and the nest looks to be empty.

Costume Lady said...

Ceil, hope you spent this day with Jim pampering you all day long;) Huh? What's that you said?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY:):):)

Mema Jo said...

Even though you can hardly see - look at the 2:30 position on the right side of the nest - Hidey is there.

So is Spidey!!!!!

deb said...

I didn't get quite done mowing, darkness and coughing sent me in. I really would like to be totally done tonight.

ceil said...

Evening everyone. Have had a nice birthday. Megan that is my favorite birthday song. Love the Beetles. Jo had my wine and a friend baked me a cake. We went to dinner. MM, Jim and me. I am about to get the jammies on. Thank you all again for the birthday e-cards and wishes. You are the greatest. Red miss you being on the blog.Pleasant dreams and hugs to you all.

Mema Jo said...

WOW! LW eaglets are getting really big! Both are visible for once!

Mema Jo said...

Hidey is keeping an glowing eye on us!

Guess the egg well looked comfy more so then the perch on the edge of the nest.

deb said...

I haven't checked in on Libby Dam forever. I am only seeing one eaglet right now, hope the other is hiding behind the adult.

deb said...

I think we have two little loonies!!

ceil said...

Loon is off the nest and the second loon is almost HATCHED

deb said...

We do, one swimming, the other almost out of the egg!

deb said...

Ceil, wasn't fun to watch!

ceil said...

I saw the Deb. Loon born on my birthday. Lucky bird. LOL

ceil said...

Deb, I was so excited. Last night I was afraid loon one was lost and to see this little one born.

deb said...

I got a short clip of it, am loading it now.

Mema Jo said...

I missed the Little Loon 2 being born on your special day! What do you want to name this second Little Loon in honor of your day??????

ceil said...

Jo I will let the chat room people name it. I will just know that it was born on my day. I was thinking Joey for my dad.

Mema Jo said...

Can't wait to see it Deb!

paula eagleholic said...

What is the first loon chick named?

deb said...

There is only one eaglet in the Libby nest, apparently one didn't make it past May 16th. That is too bad. The surviving eaglet looks healthy.

Loonie video is on Nest Pictures!

Lynne2 said...

Hi everyone! Been so busy I haven't had time to actually chat but I have been trying to read when I can and of course watch the babies!
Happy B'day Ceil!!! And many more!
All of the pictures and videos from last weekend have been great and it's nice that I can put some faces to the names!
The snake...looked like the one that ate my bluebirds. EEEwwwwww!!
Hidey is doing a good job of that right now!
I LOVE the little Loonies!

ceil said...

Deb good video. Thanks.
Paula I don't know if they have named it.

Lynne2 said...

Oh Deb, the Loon video is too precious!! I missed the second one hatching so Thank you for posting that!

Mema Jo said...

Chat room refers to Chick #1 and now Chick #2 I can't find any real names

Mema Jo said...

Hidey has returned to the 2:30 position to perch!

ceil said...

Thanks Lynne2. Jo I don't think they name them. I will call this little one Joey. I am going this time before head hits keyboard and we have another sister down.

Mema Jo said...

Good Night Ceil! I think you had a perfect day! Praying for you to have a perfect year ahead!

Lynne2 said...

Good night all and peaceful rest and prayers!

deb said...

Only 9:37 here, but I am tired tonight. Off to read for awhile, then lights out.

Night everyone.

Mema Jo said...

Bibee said...

Good night everyone. I am going to Charleston tomorrow night to see Keith Urban. Whoo Hoo!!! Hope to get back to normal chatting this weekend. Sure do want to look at the pics from your nest visit. Wish I could have gotten a chance to go. Still have the toothache but I will survive the concert! Sweet Eagle Dreams!

THANK YOU FOR OUR TREAT!!
(((HUGS))) YUMMMM!

Costume Lady said...

Hey, I just thought of a name for Loonie #1. How about Chloe?
Chloe and Joey;) Tee Hee

magpie said...

Spidey is making an appearance....sure wish I could see Hidey

Ha Ha I just realized that Spidey and Hidey, rhymes ☺

magpie said...

leg looks like a diving rod !

magpie said...

Aw shucks, I mean Divining Rod

magpie said...

Has anyone seen Lightning bugs or maybe they are fireflys? I did tonight in Berkeley Springs....so pretty, twinkling like they do

magpie said...

I see Hidey...now that you all told me where to look....

magpie said...

Oh, that Spidey is Cosmic looking - rather creepy I might add....

movin said...

Well, I don't see Hidey anywhere again tonight (not 2:30 either), but I did barely see him on and off camera at 6 o'clock this morning. I think that's probably where he's hiding.

Good Night, EveryOne...

Jim

magpie said...

Hidey is all splayed out at the 2:30 position...a very unusual view of our eaglet. Looks like he is almost teetering on the edge. You just never know what to expect out of this Eaglet!

movin said...

Well, I signed off of this site and opened Pete's Pond.

There is a dead mammal (I think it's a mammal) with round black spots and some that are elongated in the water. I haven't seen Fatty the Crocodile yet, but it looks like his work.

The head is underwater, so Fatty is probably holding it under to make sure the animal is dead.

Yep, I can see the tip of Fatty's nose above the water now, and he's pulling the animal toward shore....

It's hard to tell the species, because only parts are showing above the water. I was thinking that Otter I mentioned the other night might have a run-in with Fatty, but I don't think it is an Otter.

Their blog seems to think it the remains of the Monitor the Otter killed the other morning....

Perhaps more later...

Jim

movin said...

hI, mAGPIE,

Yes I see Hidey in the bottom of the nest ... don't think he was ther earlier though.

Jim

Beaux63 said...

5:30 a.m. Hidey is actually flying from one end of the nest to the other - now "she" (I believe this eaglet is a she because of her unpredictability!) is preening right smack dab in front of the camera - I can actually see her sweet face up close!!!

Beaux63 said...

Now, for some reason she is rearranging the nest - brought a big stick in from under the camera and stuck it right in the middle of the nest!!! Still flappin' and hollerin' - and now she's back directly in front of the camera - another close up!!!

GA-GIRL said...
