Posted 2 more videos....drop down into the nest for the fish and the exit afterwards by Hidey

Eagletmomsters.blogspot.com

paula eagleholic said...

Adult back!

paula eagleholic said...

Both adults...Lib first...then Belle

That was Lib that brought the fish earlier...you can see the difference now.

Lib just took off

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, I think Belle thought Lib was hiding a fish! She's looking around like, hey there's no lunch here.

paula eagleholic said...

Now Belle is digging in the nest a little bit...Aha she found a nestover.

magpie said...

She takes up the whole nest doesn't she !

Great time to "Drop In" Bob !

paula eagleholic said...

Yes she does.

magpie said...

Hope you can feel us hitting that #4 choice, Bob !

Bob Quinn said...

"Egg"citing times all around. Hidey fledging, hopefully BWO eggs hatching...

movin said...

First time I've seen the Hummingbird chick perched on the side of the nest. He/she must be getting close to fledging.

magpie said...

I'm saving up all your videos Paula to watch soon . thanks for taking care of what we are missing !

Bob Quinn said...

Yes, thanks for all the votes. I feel like a contestan on American Idol!

Bob Quinn said...

Hard to tell based on a 30 second refresh but it seems like the BWO mom is getting restless.

magpie said...

Good choice of words, Bob, ..American Idol....
No matter who wins, you will always be #1 with us ! ☺

Watching the BWO's

hedgie said...

Do you think Belle is suffering from MT nest syndrome?

paula eagleholic said...

No, not yet...She seems to be saving that nestover.

hedgie said...

Don't know about country girl fixes, Margy, but remembered that Bill uses alcohol on carpeting for everything!!! Guess the pro knows!

hedgie said...

Sure is hot out...and I think a storm is brewing.

magpie said...

"Okay Hidey you need to practice landing when I am in the middle of the nest...."

Mits said...

I agree, Bob.....been watching closely for the last 2 days

magpie said...

Bravo !!!

paula eagleholic said...

Could hear more distant peeping awhile ago....here he cam....from noonish...great landing!

paula eagleholic said...

Up went Belle, into the tree!

magpie said...

What an awesome parenting act....

magpie said...

So nice to share this with friends...now I feel better about getting back to my work here...

Mema Jo said...

Ho! Ho! Look who is calling the
SPLITS nowadays! Loved it! Hi Bob!
Yepper - we're still voting!

magpie said...

I'll keep that alcohol tip in mind, Hedgie...Princess Klutz here...

Good Afternoon (and still morning for the West Coasters..) Wishes for everyone...


TTFN xo

Bob Quinn said...

I should have new BW pix tomorrow or Thursday including a sleeping fox Wanda should like. Also got my first oriole.

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey shut up and is standing on the nestover...gonna have a few bites now.

Oops forgot to post that...he's eating away!

Mema Jo said...

Hidey is really tearing into whatever it is being eaten!

Mits said...

crunch...crunch

magpie said...

ttfn hidey

Laynie said...

Hidey gives a whole new meaning to the words "Just dropped in"! I was hysterical watching his landing and takeoff a little while ago! He just DROPS into the nest... likely from a branch right above it. So darn cute!

hedgie said...

Watched one of your videos, Paula, but the others threw me off the net! Sure they are good....will retry later.
Another vote posted for Bob!

Mema Jo said...

Come on BWO eggs - hatch!

Mema Jo said...

Watching the flamingos nesting at the DC zoo. They incubate for 30 days - I remember last year watching the little ones in their nests. They it was great seeing all the little chicks group together!

Isn't it time for a zoo visit, buddies?

Lolly said...

Margy...that is really weird. I got a friend request from you. Said we had one mutual friend....Beverly. There was no picture and not much info, but it was you.

Mema Jo said...

Both osprey at BWO..

No one would have been quick enough to see them....... Only 1 now.

Lolly said...

Ok, Margy, what I got was a friend suggestion of you and I said "sure". I just went to Sissy's list of friends and you are on her list. I relplied cause I thought you were on. I'll do a facebook search for you and see what happens.

Lolly said...

After doing a search for you I only came up with your name on Beverly's list. Wonder why she has you on a list?

ceil said...

Paula great videos. Thanks. Feed the fish.
Have carpel tunnel finger from voting for Bob.

Lolly said...

We're off! Game cancelled because of muddy fields, but program still on. Bye!

deb said...

You are all a talkative bunch. Kind of caught up, will have to do rest later. Paula, great videos, I was only able to view two of them, will try the other later.

hedgie said...

Check out the four babies here! Interesting coloring!

Storks

hedgie said...

Absolutely no sign of any nesting activity at the Black Stork nest....same debris in nest that has been there for weeks---blue cloth or paper...shucks....I really enjoyed them last year...and watched the banding there.

deb said...

Back to work for me, bbl.

ceil said...

Lynn thanks. Great looking storks.

Bibee said...

Hey everyone in Eagleland! I am late checking in today. I have read all of today's news. Looks like Hidey has been out and about most of the day. All is okay in southern West Virginia!

paula eagleholic said...

Adult in nest...eating a nice fish...might be Belle.

paula eagleholic said...

That be her!

paula eagleholic said...

She finished the fish and is standing in the middle of the nest

paula eagleholic said...

She hasn't moved.

wvgal_dana said...

Back and YES Bob I'm voting voting voting for # 4 picture ( :

Oh a fox! Bet it is red and not the color I ask you to find lol

paula eagleholic said...

2 osprey chicks at Puleston, 2 weeks old today and tomorro

CT osprey has 3 out of 4 eggs hatched (I think that's correct)

Bob Quinn said...

Yep, another red fox Dana.

paula eagleholic said...

CT - nope, there's 4 chicks...but cam is down.

paula eagleholic said...

There was 4 at CT, littlest one didn't make it.

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is at the back of the nest in the shade.

Mema Jo said...

I just clicked in to vote again for Bob's pic and this is what I read:
A Winner Has Been Chosen!

CBF is proud to announce the overwhelming winner of the online Viewers' Choice voting gallery is Robert Quinn's sunset view of Pickering Creek's Audubon boathouse.
WHoo HOo!

floralgirl said...

WHAT??? I thought the voting was still open...guess we overwhelmed them....
Congratulations, Bob!

Costume Lady said...

HOORAY, HOORAY!! YOU 'DA MAN, BOB!!
So happy for you:):)

Mema Jo said...

I am a bit confused finding that remark due to this: The Viewers’ Choice Award is your chance to vote for your favorite shot. You have till June 10th to cast your votes and let your voice be heard. Our Viewers’ Choice winner will be posted on June 16. Let me bring it over with a blue link as to what I just read....
Give me a minute.......

Costume Lady said...

THANKS, JO, FOR LETTING US KNOW...((Hugs to you))

Mema Jo said...


Link to article concerning CBF photo
contest

Costume Lady said...

Hope Bob will set us straight.

Costume Lady said...

Sounds like he won 1st prize and the other 3 are up for grabs. Never heard of a contest like that??

magpie said...

Well that's as cool as it gets, Belle in the nest, and Bob's a winner ! Congratulations Bob !

floralgirl said...

Bob won the viewer's choice, now the judges will pick their winners, so Bob has a chance to win there also.

paula eagleholic said...

I'm still voting, just in case!

Mema Jo said...

I think in fact there were 2 contests. One with the Official Judges of CBF and that is what I think the results are now. THEN the Viewers CHoice awards are what we are voting for!

Maybe Bob will win 2 awards from the way I am reading it.
So Keep on voting until Bob says he has won both with the Official Judges and with Us!

Does that make sense?

ceil said...

Megan thanks. I was confused because I knew it said voting until June 10th.
BOB CONGRATS.

floralgirl said...

That's right, Jo.

wvgal_dana said...

Mema Jo I just went there an voted and it did not say that???????????????????????????????? Of course I want him to win but if they are still taking votes. I want people to CONTINUE TO VOTE FOR # 4 BOB QUINNS PICTURE....

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Now, really, with all us eaglet momsters/dadsters voting, was there ever any doubt who was going to win? That is so funny - overwhelming -- good word. We mean business.

Costume Lady said...

Now where's BOB when we need him? Almost as bad as trying to find Hidey;) HEEEEEEY BOOOOOOB!!!!!
We want to talk to YOOOOUUUU!

floralgirl said...

It says Bob won on the home page of the CBF photo contest, use the link Jo posted. Rules also state, The Viewers’ Choice photo will be posted online by June 16, I guess Bob had way more votes than anyone else, so maybe that's why they announced him the viewers choice winner now.

Bob Quinn said...

Wow! I thought you were pulling my leg Jo! I'm confused. Voting was supposed to be open till June 10th. I can still vote by using the old link. You all must have brought them to their knees and they figured no one could catch up. I'm shocked... and grateful. Wow again!

Mema Jo said...

I'd say you're right Paula!

Keep on voting

until Bob claims for himself 2 Wins!

WHoo Hoo

wvgal_dana said...

I'm not taking any chances until they remove his picture and the date is up. I'M STILL VOTING FOR # 4 BOB QUINNS PICTURE JUST IN CASE

floralgirl said...

That's right, we are overwhelming!

Mema Jo said...

Saying prayers for all families and friends concerning the Air France jet.

News reports that ...........
a 3-mile path of wreckage found in
the Atlantic Ocean confirms that an Air France jet crashed in the sea.

Mema Jo said...

Ho! Ho! Bob let us know how many prizes you win - I'll bet on 2 different awards

Let's all be prepared to order our calendars from the CBF and maybe we can get our photo SIGNED BY BOB!
Wowsie! Way Cool!

wvgal_dana said...

THIS MAKES SENSE CLICK HERE AND VOTE # 4 PICTURE FOR BOB QUINN KEEP VOTING AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT UNTIL
JUNE 10TH

Mema Jo said...

Dana None of us are going to stop voting until Bob tells us he has both awards - 1)The Official Judging by CBF and 2)The Viewers Choice.
Thanks for posting the link again.

But plan to get those calendars!

magpie said...

Thanks Jo...somber, tragic news. Two Americans, a geologist and his wife headed for a vacation. How very sad. Seven children and one baby. Prayers...

Mema Jo said...

I'm out of here for a few! It's Meatball time! lol

CONGRATULATIONS BOB - we love ya man!


BBL

floralgirl said...

Bob has definitely won the viewer's choice award, it wouldn't be posted on their main page if he hadn't. Now the judges will pick their winner according to their criteria.

Costume Lady said...

Alexis must be coming to dinner:)

wvgal_dana said...

AN EARLY CONTRAGULATIONS BOB YOU SO DESERVE THIS....WE ALL ARE STILL VOTING UNTIL THE JUNE 10th ENDING DATE....JUST TO MAKE SURE ( :

hedgie said...

Congratulations, Bob!!!! We KNEW you would HAVE to win!!
When I clicked on the link in my favorites it took me to the winning announcement, and couldn't get to a voting page anywhere on the site....but then when I used Dana's link, there it was and I could vote again!

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is still at the back of the nest...

hedgie said...

It did say that Viewer's choice winner would be announced BY the 16th.....but nothing says that voting has closed....but aren't WE the viewers??? Maybe judges pick will be based on our votes, too! LOL! They might think that we are very smart and decide they must agree with us!!!

floralgirl said...

Official judging will be performed by a panel of CBF employees. Judges will make their selections based on subject matter, composition, focus, lighting, uniqueness, and impact. All voting decisions are final and at the discretion of CBF. The public will also be able to vote online for their favorite photo in the Viewers’ Choice Gallery beginning around May 18.

floralgirl said...

Both adults in nest now, can Hidey be far behind?

Mits said...

drinks are on Bob ;), I'll have a G&T, thanks

paula eagleholic said...

Only 1 adult now...eating...obviously not waiting for the young'un.

floralgirl said...

Yep, he can buy us all a drink at the Rum Runner...

paula eagleholic said...

Guess Lib let Belle have it.

paula eagleholic said...

No, it's Rumplestiltskins.

paula eagleholic said...

Off she went with the nestover...

paula eagleholic said...

She's back with it...maybe something in the area??

Mits said...

lol...that is if Bob can find us;)

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, everyone! Wow! Both adults in the nest, and dinner is served! Oops-- make that one adult! Can't tell what's on the menu due to the camera smudge. Sure glad I decided to check on the nest right now, though-- good to see our gorgeous eagles! Suspect Hidey isn't too far away, either. That looks like it might be Lib in the nest. Boy, is he handsome!

Mits said...

yes, Jo, very tragic for all family and friends on the Air France flight

Costume Lady said...

ROFLMBO, MEGAN:):) I'd forgotten he called it that!

paula eagleholic said...

Ms B - the nestover is unidentifiable at this point!

Costume Lady said...

Lynn, we ARE very smart. We know a winner when we see one;)

paula eagleholic said...

catch ya'll later

Bob Quinn said...

Shirley Temples for everyone!

magpie said...

Heading out, just call me Hidey!

You folks take care, see you in a few hours...

xox ☺

magpie said...

PS Great Videos Paula !!! thanks again...

Costume Lady said...

THANKS, BOB..as long as you'r buying:)

Costume Lady said...

Jo, love this picture from your email. If you don't mind, I would like to keep it on here til July.

Bob Quinn said...

Did I just see a chick at BWO? My eyes aren't good enough to tell.

Bob Quinn said...

Probably not a chick, just the eggs still.

Costume Lady said...

Bob, as slow as that site is, the chick may be a week old before we see it.LOL

ceil said...

Mits I was going to say the same thing. Don't order anything until Bob finds us. LOL

ceil said...

anyone know anything about the Norfolk eaglets. I only see one standing in the nest.

Aimeecat said...

That is a little disturbing ceil. I was watching them this morning and all 3 were there then.

ceil said...

Aimeecat not disturbing maybe 2 fledge.

Aimeecat said...

good point! Is someone panning the camera now to look on the branches??

Bob Quinn said...

Does it seem like the BWO is standing up a lot more than normal? That's at least four different times in the last 25 minutes.

Aimeecat said...

There is one on a branch! :-)

ceil said...

Cam person is scanning at Norfolk One is up on a branch and the other one is in the nest. Don't see the third one yet.

ceil said...

Hope so Bob.

Aimeecat said...

This is so exciting!

Aimeecat said...

Where/what is the BWO you guys are talking about?

Bob Quinn said...

There she goes again.

Bob Quinn said...

And again.

Aimeecat. Have a good night.

Bob Quinn said...

I'm outa here, headed home.

ceil said...

have agood night Bob

ceil said...

Hidey's back. Eating. Parent waiting until he came in. I missed the in coming. BBL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Awesome takeoff from the middle of the nest. Getting better and better at it.

Is that a turtle shell at 6 o'clock?

Lauren said...

I would like to ask a question. How much longer will Hidey be with us in the nest, on and off. This is my first time watching a site such as this, and I have been watching him for a few weeks now. I feel like he is my own child!
And after he leaves for good, when should I start checking back for new eggs?
Thanks

Costume Lady said...

Lauren, Hidey will stick around for a few more weeks. We will still have the pleasure of his company fot a while.
Nestorations to the nest start in December and then a month or two of HANKY PANKY. First egg will appear in late January or early February.

Costume Lady said...

It is such an AWESOME process to witness:) Be prepared to be stuck at your computer for about 3 or 4 months;)

Costume Lady said...

Or maybe 6 or 7 months. LOL

Costume Lady said...

Belle laid her first egg this past season on January 31. First hatch was March 14 (Hidey) Only one to hatch.

Bibee said...

Hey again! Supper is over, trash taken out, and ready to watch for Hidey Ho on the puter. I voted again just now for Bob. Sure is a beautiful picture. Where's our family?

Mema Jo said...

Mema Jo is Back! Yepper, Wanda, Meatball Alexis is here! lol It is great that you have chosen that avatar pic! I love it!
Lolly - rain means muddy baseball fields which means Jack gets to see the school program with you! :>)

Lisa BWO has updated posting:
Nest Update 06/02/09:
No definite signs of hatching yet. We have had eggs hatch on the 40th day, which would be tomorrow, so we're not giving up on the first egg just yet.

Mema Jo said...

All is quiet on the nest front now.
Hopefully it will get some action soon!

Time to tend to company!

BBL

Bibee said...

Jo, got your email last night. Thanks for the info. I appreciate all the help. Will be standing by watching for the family to get back home.

deb said...

I am home. There is a little osprey chick at WW in Washington. Give me a bit and I'll get the link!

deb said...

WW Osprey

deb said...

I'll put a picture on Nest pictures as soon as I am done eating. Helen, You were right earlier today!

deb said...

Hidey is definitely close by, I can hear her.

wvgal_dana said...

Just heard Hidey

Bill said...

Just got my internet back on,it's been off since Friday so I missed all the action. My sister tryed to keep me updated. Paula, thanks for posting all the clips,at least I got to see Hidey fly!!!

deb said...

I am off to mow, bbl.

Bibee said...

I hear our baby. She must be getting ready to come back home for a bit.

wvgal_dana said...

Hidey in nest

Mema Jo said...

I heard that sweet chirp!
Hello Hidey

Bibee said...

Yep,she is back. Maybe she is hungry. I am telling you, I just love that bird!

wvgal_dana said...

Parent is above

Mema Jo said...

I am hungry and no one has taught me yet how to fish for my dinner!

wvgal_dana said...

I have decoded what Hidey is screaming about-----food food I want food ..... Parent bring me food

Mema Jo said...

Such a persistent jump!

wvgal_dana said...

Nice fly out Hidey is getting really good.

Mema Jo said...

Well I guess we know where that jump landed Hidey!

Bibee said...

Off again. She didn't stay very long. Guess she saw that there wasn't any food so she left. Oh, well.

deb said...

I always miss Hidey coming and going! :(

Mema Jo said...

Deb I thought you would be longer then half an hour of mowing. Was hoping you would get to see Hidey and hear the chirping! I'm sure food was expected with the visit - but parents were a no show.

Mema Jo said...

Adult in the nest eating.......

Mema Jo said...

Spidey has started the web off to the left.

deb said...

Jo, I only did the front yard and part of the back yard and pooped out. The rest will be waiting for me tomorrow!

EagleClawRidge said...

Parents back from shopping....new to the board....nice to see it is so active

Mema Jo said...

Night light is on now.

deb said...

You can sure hear the "crunch, crunch" as Paula puts it!

Costume Lady said...

Welcome, EagleClaw. Which state do you hail from?

paula eagleholic said...

Whoa! No Hidey in the nest tonight???

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Eagleclaw, we are quite active on this blog. Warning...you may become addicted:)

Bibee said...

Going to watch the special with Brian Williams and Pres. Obama. Be back later! Thunder here in Mullens!

Costume Lady said...

Hidey just left a few minutes ago. Got tired of waiting on supper. He hollered his head off for a long time, but no one was listening:)

Costume Lady said...

We could use some rain here, Bibee.

paula eagleholic said...

Bill - no problem! Today was the first day I was able to see Hidey land and take off myself!

EagleClawRidge said...

I have been watching this nest for quite some time yet never entered the comment world. I live right down the road from this nest in Harpers Ferry, WV.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL Wanda, that's because Hidey has already eaten at least 3 times today!

wvgal_dana said...

Nice Bill you are close by then. Have you ever been to the nest?

paula eagleholic said...

Eagleclaw - then you are close enough for a nest visit! Everyone is welcome when we go.

wvgal_dana said...

Bill you will have to think about coming to Open House at NCTC Oct 17
on a Sat. it is free. Lots of interesting things and wildlife.

EagleClawRidge said...

will go anytime....please let me know

wvgal_dana said...

Bill the gates will be open on that Sat. Oct 17th. If you have family they too will enjoy it. Then you can also see where the nest is.

ceil said...

Just stopping in to say good night. Pleasant dreams

deb said...

Big bear on the snow man cam!

Snowmancam

deb said...

The bear knocked over the Snowman!!

naturegirl said...

evening all, I'm planning the the trip myself..hopefully I can get my mom to make the trip with me, that's her birthday.

Mits said...

poor woody, bear must be a Pittsburgh Penguin fan

deb said...

I think we need to move SD and WV closer together. I am already anticipating missing all the fun in October.

hedgie said...

Did Hidey bail again or (s)he under the cam?

Mema Jo said...

Wowsie Now that is a Big Bear

destructive too!

deb said...

Yes, poor Woody is down for the count. No one come to his rescue right now. I was so busy watching the bear, I didn't notice that Woody was down.

deb said...

Whoa, he was a big bear when he walked right by the cam. Back and then gone again.

Mema Jo said...

Now that is a brave soul!
Snowman being placed upward by unknown

Lynne2 said...

Hi all! Tuned in just in time to see the bear! Wow, glad I didn't run into one of them camping!
Anyone watching the Barn Owls in Washington? My goodness what a group! The size difference between the oldest and youngest babies is amazing!

Mema Jo said...

There he is again - the brave man
