Is there something wrong with the cam, or is it my computer?

Tammy said...

Hi all..

I've been watching the eagle cam for about 6 weeks now (I'm a newbie to this) but am falling behind in what is happening with Hidey. I've not seen Hidey get fed lately. Are Liberty and Belle not feeding Hidey anymore trying to encourage him/her off the nest? Are we getting close to the time that Hidey takes its first flight?

Could someone please give me a quick summary as to what is going on?

Thank you for your time.

Must be something wrong....mine is showing the same thing from last night.... :(

GA-GIRL said...

I invited everyone over to the new thread.. GOOD MORNING ALL..appears to be something amiss with the cam this morning.. hope it is fixed soon..HAVE A GOOD DAY AND A HAPPY HIDEDY WEDNESDAY

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning everybody. Hidey is still getting fed. Hidey turned 10 weeks old this past Saturday so fledging will be in the next week or so. The still cam is working but the live feed is frozen. Hopefully that will be back up this morning. Welcome to our blog!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Well, good morning all!! Thanks for coming and getting us. Norma, did you make it over here?

Lori O. said...

Hey wonderful friends, good morning!

Little slow making my way over this morning.

I was trying to stay awake late last night - 9:00 late for me - to chat with some of you that I haven't been able to talk to since Saturday.

OH - good morning to newer than me, Tammy! Welcome, gurl!

Lori O. said...

Who got home with the most ticks on Saturday. I had two. :)

Kate had three!

Got some great pictures but I need to go thru them 1 by 1 and crop them. Hoping for a better lens for B-day!

normabyrd said...

THANKS STEVE---for the WET THREAD!!
Thanks GA-GIRL for bringing every over!!---GOOD MORNING---VICK37---WELCOME TAMMY---WELCOME SADIE!-----Will get things straightened out soon!----stay COOL!

Tammy said...

Thank you Sharon..

I check the cam several times a day but have been missing the feedings for the past week or so.

I am thoroughly enjoying Hidey's practice flights around the nest. It's hard not to smile when you see him/her flapping those big ol wings and hopping around the nest.

Thank you for the welcome as well. That was very nice of you.

:)

hedgie said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,

gwen of s.c. said...

Thank goodness we have a new thread. Mondays would have soon been up to a thousand comments. I miss Hidey this morning, hope they get the cam fixed. This is the first thing I do now early in the morning and last thing before I go to bed. Hidey looked me right in the eye last night and sometimes it seems she can hear me talking to her. Love, Gwen

normabyrd said...

I finally got over SISSY!---THANKS for bringing SHARON!----I watching LOON --- Please read LARRY'S COMMENTS----He had a SLEEPLESS NITE!--ho!

I miss seeing Hidey this morning and can't wait to see her take to the skies..I watch this from 6am till I go to bed at night and also follow the Duke Farms cam...That cam is down too this morning so I am having withdrawals...lol Yesterday it looked like Mom came in and showed her there was still meat on that fish bone...Hidey had a hissy fit...lol.... I just love her!!

gwen of s.c. said...

Could somebody tell me how to get to the site so I can see the baby loon. Thanks, Gwen

Lori O. said...

Norma -

What is the website for the Loon camera? I know nothing about them, but notice a lot of people have been watching it.

Lori O. said...

Hey Sadie -

I saw Hidey throw that fit last night, manteling and being selfish. Was it Lib who dropped it off?

I was the Duke farms triplets, too. Love that little spunky Tiny. What a cutie pie.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Anonymous said...

Okay DF cam is up now waiting for Hidey....I call the DF Eaglets Monday, Wednesday and Sunday....lol..Sunday is just adorable and has come a long way by being strong and making sure he gets his share of food....Can't believe we have all boys...lol....Maybe some day one of the DF boys will meet with Hidey and be mates for life!!

Lori O. said...

You like me Sadie - planning happy wonderful lives for our baby eagles.

How cute to call them Monday, Wednesday & Sunday...so Tiny is Sunday. He is adorable, but why isn't he trying to eat right now?
He's usually much more forceful about fighting for his food.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR CEIL,

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hidey is the cam ham again this morning.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I really am not faster than a speeding bullet. Slow moving this morning.

Anonymous said...

I'm hoping he already ate this morning and filled his belly....he's not crying and looks content.... I went to visit Duke Farms 2 weeks ago..it's a beautiful place and only an hour away from me..I'm hoping when they start soaring the skies they will find their way over my house .... lol...

hedgie said...

I was so eager to post greetings to Ceiloin her special day that I forgot to say Good Morning! so hi eaglet momsters/dadsters.
Hello, Lori!! Was wondering where you were! So glad you are still enjoying memories of Sat.
Hi, newbies.....you're hooked, right?? LOL!
Poor Loon Larry is going to have a nervous breakdown...so much drama!

normabyrd said...

WHOA LORI!----How else could we think of them---I feel sure ALL of our EAGLETS that have hatched in this nest---ARE---SOARING HIGH!!

ceil said...

Good morning all. Thank you for all the birthday greetings. Will be back later. Late for work. Had to see how the baby loon made out during the night. It finally got back in the nest. Hallelujah Hawaii.
This day has already been special because of all of you. Hugs.

Thought all of you would enjoy this song/video this morning..it's beautiful.... http://www.eagles.org/programs/songs-and-videos/Save-The-Eagle.php

normabyrd said...

SADIE!---I think I have talked with you before!---We talked about the DUKE FARMS!---you told me all about the EAGLES there---good to see you again--

Lori O. said...

Sorry Norma, just meant that if I could I'd program them to fly over my house daily and make sure their life if perfect.

I always wish I could program the weather - program for rain around times to water the garden! :)

Anonymous said...

Hi Norma.... listen to that song I posted..it's beautiful!! gives me chills..... nice to see you again!!

DEB!---You won't recognize your KESTRELS this am!!---They look more like raccoons!--(stretched it a bit) ho!

Update on Finland water nest from Suz....

27 May 12:56 am: There is information in
Saaristomeri front page that the thunder storm broke the cam the 23th
May. The cam is not possible to prepair before the Osprey chicks are
banded.. about 30th Jun - or in the beginning on July. Prepairing work
(to climb almost to the nest) before that would be a risk to too much
disturbance...

The first chick is waited to be hatched about the first days of Jun.

It's sad.. but I believe the project people will give information every
now and then. The nest was not harmed by the storm. 'Ordinary people'
and amateur ornitologists an even profs are asked to not go near the
nest, best is to stay off the area of Seili, how curious one ever is..

Then this was posted later in the day, 27 May 1:05 am:

The DNA (phone)operator is repairing something there... Just have to
wait and see when they get it going again.

So maybe we will, maybe we won't be able to see the chicks hatch. Darn!

hedgie said...

Oops...I goofed...that info from Suz was for Finney land nest!
Water nest was the hail damage that I found out about yesterday.

Judy said...

I think that something is wrong with the cam because the same thing is on my computer.

Mits said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY DEAR SISTER, CEIL

Mits said...

good Wednesday a.m. everyone....

Mits said...

normabyrd said...

Oh! NO!!!!----That's my favorite site!!----study group this am!--

magpie said...

Just saw two cottontails in the back yard. Saw a Great Blue Heron fly overhead at work last evening, and near the office in an old tree, a Turkey Vulture spent the whole night perched on a leafless branch...

Good Morning Eagle Pals from old thread and this one. Time for some shut-eye here. Best Wishes for a Great Day for Everyone

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning Mits!

gwen of s.c. said...

I found the Loons under Loon Cam. Thanks to all of you.Could only see the parent on the nest and the rough water. Wish I could see Hidey but not up yet in S.C. My red hatters are having a Chinese Auction to raise money for homeless families. Have to go gather up some treasures to contribute. Talk to you all later. Love, Gwen

nighthawk said...

I (nighthawk) am new to this only two full days,the last feeding was
at 830pm night before last,the next day i didnt watch till about noon and then watched till 1230am this morning, Hidey called out to it's mother every two minutes from 851pm till 1230 am.Does any one know if this is normal for adult Eagles to do this or is there trouble in the tree ,i am still getting a frozen picture also.

Bob Quinn said...

Mits said...

CONGRATS, LOLLY

Mits said...

which diet did you use?

Lolly said...

Hidey is really talking this morning. Belle must be very close.

Mits said...

think Hidey/Miracle, should have a name change to whiney

Lolly said...

I did Nuitisystem. It makes it so easy! I will continue to eat right. I have learned my lesson. Also, will hit the scales often and not let it creep up like it did.

Mits said...

jubby and I were thinking of using that....it would be so much easier for me down here at the beach, too many temptations, and jubby would have food at home:)

Mits said...

so what did Jack eat when you were on it?

Lolly said...

I have also been using their DVD. It is walking 2 miles in front of the TV. It is a great work out, easy on the joints, but none the less a great work out.n Jack does it with me. He is not on a diet but has lost 9 oir 10 pounds.

Mits said...

did you use the regular or silver version of nutisystem, Lolly?

Lolly said...

Jack has been prparing his own meals. Bless his heart. He has had frozen pizza, Frozen meals, potpies. But he has also grilled hamburgers, steaks, pork chops. I could have done that for him, but we prepare meals together. I have cooked when we had company or gone to Laurel's and he has had those meals. I made sure there were left overs.

Mits said...

I was all set in mind and body when I fractured my ribs 4 weeks ago today, and it put me in a down mood:(

Lolly said...

Silver version.

Lolly said...

Go for it Mits! Your jubby travels a lot, so that would help. It really has been easy.

Beaux63 said...

Morning, Mits - how is everyone today?? Hidey sure is throwing some major hissy fits today, isn't she/he??

Lolly said...

Oh, so he would do it too? Go for it!!!

Beaux63 said...

BTW, Welcome, Tammy!! I'm a newbie, too, but everyone is so warm on this blog -

Mits said...

yes, we have both lost weight before, but it found us again;)

Bob Quinn said...

Congrats Lolly. Sarah and I did the online version of Weightwatchers. I lost about 35 lbs and have now put back on about 8. I need to get back on track. Sarah lost 105 lbs over a two year period.

Mits said...

yes, she/he has, beaux

Lolly said...

You learn which foods you really like and those you do not care for. I am really in the habit now of eating fresh veggies. Last night we went to Laurel's. I cooked as she got home later from school. Anyway, I prepared oven baked pork chops with scalloped potatoes. Steamed broccoli and squash, as well as Lima beans for the boys. I ate a pork chop and veggies, but only a spoonful of potatoes. Also, I have really increased my water consumption. And, funny thing about that. My body temp has really cooled down. I had been sweating a whole lot. I think I needed more water, as I am not doing that anymore. It stopped almost immediately after starting to drink lots of water. (One glass before meals, one glass during meals, and one glass after a meal)

Lori O. said...

Hi Lolly -

Just checking in and read where you reached your goal of 40 lbs lost! YEAH for YOU! Way to go.

Just didn't want to pass up the opportunity to congratulate you. I know it's not easy.

Hi Mits, and Beaux.

Have a great day all. Glad the cam is back up.

Mits said...

way to go, Bob...congrats, was thinking of WW online too.

Mits said...

with this 3rd grandbaby coming in October, I will need more energy...the girls will be 3 and 2 then and a newborn...yikes:)

Mits said...

we love our newbies:)

hedgie said...

Way to go, Lolly!!!! Sure glad the Tiramisu didn't do any damage!!!
Looking good, gal!
I can't get any live stuff open....must be the weather! I am hoping that Hidey is under the cam because I can't find her anywhere!!!!

Mits said...

yes, I'm terrible about drinking water...I drink too much coffee, especially at the beach....lazy bones here.

Lolly said...

Thanks Bob! 108! Wow! I have lost the 40 over the last 4 months. I may go back on it after the summer and loose another 10, but I am so happy with the 40 lb. loss. I am feeling so great! And my cholesterol count dropped like a rock.

Lolly said...

She is and making lots of noise!!!!

Lolly said...

Hi Lori! Hear you all had a great time Saturday. Is this not the most fantastic group of momsters and dadsters?!

I am anxious to see your pictures. Hear you have a great camera.

Bob Quinn said...

Isn't it great all the xtra benefits you get losing weight? Sarah was able to completely get off her cholesterol and blood pressure medications. I've cut mine in half.

Mits said...

that is what I want to get off these crappy meds.....

Mits said...

hidey is right under the cam, behind the smudge, Lynn

Mits said...

I hear the geese

Mits said...

incoming food drop I think

Mits said...

the whole family is there

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

All the family is present and accounted for!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Is that a fish? Huge!

Mits said...

holy cow, look at the size of that fish

Lolly said...

Ohhh! Nice meal! Hidey took a bite but is being fed as well.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I hope the ones worrying about Hidey eating are watching. :)

ltl said...

I guess somebody can stop peeping about how hungry she is now!

hedgie said...

Bob, Sarah is really to be commended--and you, too! Tell her I said congrats!
My youngest is getting close to reaching 40 down on WW. She looks perfect to me now, but she's still not ready to maintain...wants to go another 10...she is tall, and carried the extra weight okay, but did need to get it off before it got out of control. My eldest, on the other hand, is another story! Morbidly obese, and has been since after her first child.

Mits said...

lol....he/she, likes it both ways

Lolly said...

Okay, I am leaving to eat breakfast and do my walking! Will set up my laptop to watch while walking. :)

I hope everyone (especially Ceil!) has a fantastic day!

hedgie said...

Okay, parent in nest and flushed Hidey out into view! TG!

Lolly said...

I also had to answer the PHONE and missed them scooting off the nest.

Mema Jo said...

WOW! Egg is now secured by adult!!

Mema Jo said...

I guess we could hope that Hidey was secured also!

Mema Jo said...

There goes Little Loon around the nest

Mema Jo said...

Yepper! Little Loon and parent are swimming together.

Mema Jo said...

You think that Hidey is in "Time Out"

Mits said...

don't forget banding starts at 12:30p.m. east coast time for PA falcons

Lolly said...

Well, I was reading Larry's log for yesterday and this morning and missed the action. I love reading his log. He should write a book or has he?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Definitely looks like a time-out to me.

Mema Jo said...

Beautiful fly out by Lib
Hope Hidey was watching that very carefully!!

Mema Jo said...

Thanks for that reminder Mits!

4 eyasses eating, one hiding in background

Bird Girl said...

Hello all my birdbrains :P Bird Girl checking in here. Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated! Just dealing with health issues mostly.

The bird rescue thing is going well, this is the busy time of year for us -- most of the 1000+ birds we take in a year come between March and September.

My camera broke a couple of weeks ago, and I have to replace something in my truck before I can get a new camera. :(

My health is..well...I've been worse. And I'm getting better little by little. Just something I have to deal with, and have been for about 20 years.

I'm so amazed at how big and healthy our chick is! I was so worried that we wouldn't have any, remembering the year before last when all three eggs were lost.

You all are such a great bunch of people. I'm really glad to call you all 'friend' :)

Mits said...

take care, Delphia

Mits said...

looks like that one eyass wants to be first in the door

hedgie said...

Hi, Bird Girl. Hope you get to feeling "more better".
Gotta get a bite of lunch and then outta here! See y'all later this afternoon.

Mits said...

they are now inside the Pa falcon building

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, everyone! First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CEIL! Hope it's a fantastic day for you. Welcome, Newbies! Always great to meet new folks! Looks like I've missed quite a bit of action this morning-- will have to try to catch up. Hey, Magpie, sleep tight! I'm draggin' a bit myself this morning. Busy day yesterday, and will be today, too. Good to see Hidey looking contented today. Hope the sun burns through soon here-- will help to get me in gear!
It appears some Black Crowned Night Heron chicks have hatched in our trees. Can see egg shells on the ground nearby. Sure sounds busy at the nests today, too! It's a regular Pterodactyl convention! Wish the foliage weren't so thick, so we could watch better.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Andrea, have you started school yet?

Ms Bookworm said...

Bird Girl, hope you feel much better, real soon! Looks like Hidey is stretching out and trying to get really comfy right now. Wish I could stay longer, but need to go to the college bookstore asap and get the rest of the books I need. I'll check back every chance I get today. Prayers for healing, guardian angels for all, and a blessed day. BBL :o]

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Sharon, yes-- I had a class in 'Human Diseases' last night! The teacher is really nice, and it's very interesting! Already have an assignment covering 4 chapters, so I've hit the road running, so to speak. Have a class tonight, 'Medical Instruments'. Will let you know the rest of my schedule once it's finalized, hopefully by tomorrow. We're off and running! Take care, and I'll BBIALW. :o]

Hey to all! Has been a bad week for me. Haven't been in the land of cyberspace for a while. Have a bad toothache. Went to get it pulled today and they wouldn't pull it because my blood pressure was up. Just a big mess. Welcome to the newbies. You will love it on here. Hidey sure is ready to go. She is just beautiful. Update me on everything. Saw the new loon. It is so purty. Talk later. Rain here in Mullens.

Hiiiiiiiiiiii Y'all. I'm still alive in Alabama. Had so much rain I almost drownded. Haven't had time to watch eagles much lately. Fertilized the yard and am having to mow twice a week. I'm still breathing but there's just not enough air for me so I'm still on oxygen. Guess Hidey will be taking off soon. Hope someone catches it on video. Y'all have a nice day.

Hello Bibee and Red. Sorry about the toothache Bibee. Really grateful for dentures!

Red, we were talking about you over the weekend at our nest get together. Glad you are doing okay. At least check in and let us know how you are.

Oh, forgot to mention...the Two Harbors chicks are named Thunder and Lightening....not sure which one is which! When I find out, I'll let ya know.

Also, TH has sound now!

Well I went to Kroger's before time for Andrew to go to work. I got in the last aisle where the chips are and found a woman lying on the floor. She was really sweaty, couldn't speak. I went to the pharmacy to get help. My first thought was probably her sugar had dropped because I get really diaphoretic when that happens. Called 911, first response came, rolled her over, put a brace on her neck and she had an insulin pump attached to her. Bless her heart. I also thought maybe she had had a seizure because she had that look in her eyes. Not really sure but I left the professionals in charge and came home. It is not just a life, it is an adventure.

Hidey is getting so very big !

Red - here are some sites to check for our Nest Visit pictures from Saturday:
Paula's EM Blog and Yahoo Eaglet page message
Wanda's links
The Momsters Album - second one in with the picture of the Eagle Express on it....
And there might be more but this is a start!
Also we have a May album for Hidey's adventures this month!

Hello everyone, and so long everyone. Been two weeks since I saw the grandson, got to fix that situation tonight since I don't have to work tonight

Happy Birthday Again Ceil ♥ ☺ Be sure everyone to check out Bob Quinn's new photos. He posted a link earlier today.

xoxo TTFN xoxo

Sharon - glad you were there for the woman at Kroger's - sounds like you are right, either seizure or diabetic, or both...
sad to see these things....

magpie said...

Now don't YOU have a heart attack watching Hidey this evening !!

xoxo ♥

magpie said...
