Eagletmomsters.blogspot.com
Adult back!
Both adults...Lib first...then Belle
That was Lib that brought the fish earlier...you can see the difference now.
Lib just took off
LOL, I think Belle thought Lib was hiding a fish! She's looking around like, hey there's no lunch here.
Now Belle is digging in the nest a little bit...Aha she found a nestover.
She takes up the whole nest doesn't she !
Great time to "Drop In" Bob !
Yes she does.
Hope you can feel us hitting that #4 choice, Bob !
"Egg"citing times all around. Hidey fledging, hopefully BWO eggs hatching...
First time I've seen the Hummingbird chick perched on the side of the nest. He/she must be getting close to fledging.

Jim
I'm saving up all your videos Paula to watch soon . thanks for taking care of what we are missing !
Yes, thanks for all the votes. I feel like a contestan on American Idol!
Hard to tell based on a 30 second refresh but it seems like the BWO mom is getting restless.
Good choice of words, Bob, ..American Idol....
No matter who wins, you will always be #1 with us ! ☺
Watching the BWO's
Do you think Belle is suffering from MT nest syndrome?
No, not yet...She seems to be saving that nestover.
Don't know about country girl fixes, Margy, but remembered that Bill uses alcohol on carpeting for everything!!! Guess the pro knows!
Sure is hot out...and I think a storm is brewing.
"Okay Hidey you need to practice landing when I am in the middle of the nest...."
I agree, Bob.....been watching closely for the last 2 days
Bravo !!!
Could hear more distant peeping awhile ago....here he cam....from noonish...great landing!
Up went Belle, into the tree!
What an awesome parenting act....
So nice to share this with friends...now I feel better about getting back to my work here...
☺
Ho! Ho! Look who is calling the
SPLITS nowadays! Loved it! Hi Bob!
Yepper - we're still voting!
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
I should have new BW pix tomorrow or Thursday including a sleeping fox Wanda should like. Also got my first oriole.
Hidey shut up and is standing on the nestover...gonna have a few bites now.
Oops forgot to post that...he's eating away!
Hidey is really tearing into whatever it is being eaten!
crunch...crunch
ttfn hidey
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!
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!
Come on BWO eggs - hatch!
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?
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.
Both osprey at BWO..
No one would have been quick enough to see them....... Only 1 now.
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.
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?
Paula great videos. Thanks. Feed the fish.
Have carpel tunnel finger from voting for Bob.
We're off! Game cancelled because of muddy fields, but program still on. Bye!
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.
Check out the four babies here! Interesting coloring!
Storks
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.
Back to work for me, bbl.
Lynn thanks. Great looking storks.
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!
Adult in nest...eating a nice fish...might be Belle.
That be her!
She finished the fish and is standing in the middle of the nest
She hasn't moved.
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
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)
Yep, another red fox Dana.
CT - nope, there's 4 chicks...but cam is down.
There was 4 at CT, littlest one didn't make it.
Belle is at the back of the nest in the shade.
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!
WHAT??? I thought the voting was still open...guess we overwhelmed them....
Congratulations, Bob!
HOORAY, HOORAY!! YOU 'DA MAN, BOB!!
So happy for you:):)
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.......
THANKS, JO, FOR LETTING US KNOW...((Hugs to you))
Link to article concerning CBF photo
contest
Hope Bob will set us straight.
Sounds like he won 1st prize and the other 3 are up for grabs. Never heard of a contest like that??
Well that's as cool as it gets, Belle in the nest, and Bob's a winner ! Congratulations Bob !
Bob won the viewer's choice, now the judges will pick their winners, so Bob has a chance to win there also.
I'm still voting, just in case!
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?
Megan thanks. I was confused because I knew it said voting until June 10th.
BOB CONGRATS.
That's right, Jo.
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....
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.
Now where's BOB when we need him? Almost as bad as trying to find Hidey;) HEEEEEEY BOOOOOOB!!!!!
We want to talk to YOOOOUUUU!
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.
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!
I'd say you're right Paula!
Keep on voting
until Bob claims for himself 2 Wins!
WHoo Hoo
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
That's right, we are overwhelming!
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.
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!
THIS MAKES SENSE CLICK HERE AND VOTE # 4 PICTURE FOR BOB QUINN KEEP VOTING AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT UNTIL
JUNE 10TH
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!
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...
I'm out of here for a few! It's Meatball time! lol
CONGRATULATIONS BOB - we love ya man!
BBL
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.
Alexis must be coming to dinner:)
AN EARLY CONTRAGULATIONS BOB YOU SO DESERVE THIS....WE ALL ARE STILL VOTING UNTIL THE JUNE 10th ENDING DATE....JUST TO MAKE SURE ( :
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!
Belle is still at the back of the nest...
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!!!
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.
Both adults in nest now, can Hidey be far behind?
drinks are on Bob ;), I'll have a G&T, thanks
Only 1 adult now...eating...obviously not waiting for the young'un.
Yep, he can buy us all a drink at the Rum Runner...
Guess Lib let Belle have it.
No, it's Rumplestiltskins.
Off she went with the nestover...
She's back with it...maybe something in the area??
lol...that is if Bob can find us;)
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!
yes, Jo, very tragic for all family and friends on the Air France flight
ROFLMBO, MEGAN:):) I'd forgotten he called it that!
Ms B - the nestover is unidentifiable at this point!
Lynn, we ARE very smart. We know a winner when we see one;)
catch ya'll later
Shirley Temples for everyone!
Heading out, just call me Hidey!
You folks take care, see you in a few hours...
xox ☺
PS Great Videos Paula !!! thanks again...
THANKS, BOB..as long as you'r buying:)
Jo, love this picture from your email. If you don't mind, I would like to keep it on here til July.
Did I just see a chick at BWO? My eyes aren't good enough to tell.
Probably not a chick, just the eggs still.
Bob, as slow as that site is, the chick may be a week old before we see it.LOL
Mits I was going to say the same thing. Don't order anything until Bob finds us. LOL
anyone know anything about the Norfolk eaglets. I only see one standing in the nest.
That is a little disturbing ceil. I was watching them this morning and all 3 were there then.
Aimeecat not disturbing maybe 2 fledge.
good point! Is someone panning the camera now to look on the branches??
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.
There is one on a branch! :-)
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.
Hope so Bob.
This is so exciting!
Where/what is the BWO you guys are talking about?
There she goes again.
And again.
Aimeecat Blackwater osprey cam BWO

Thanks for the infp ceil!
Quitting time heading home! :-)
You too Bob, and congrats btw!
Aimeecat. Have a good night.
I'm outa here, headed home.
have agood night Bob
Hidey's back. Eating. Parent waiting until he came in. I missed the in coming. BBL
Awesome takeoff from the middle of the nest. Getting better and better at it.
Is that a turtle shell at 6 o'clock?
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
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.
It is such an AWESOME process to witness:) Be prepared to be stuck at your computer for about 3 or 4 months;)
Or maybe 6 or 7 months. LOL
Belle laid her first egg this past season on January 31. First hatch was March 14 (Hidey) Only one to hatch.
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 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.
All is quiet on the nest front now.
Hopefully it will get some action soon!
Time to tend to company!
BBL
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.
I am home. There is a little osprey chick at WW in Washington. Give me a bit and I'll get the link!
WW Osprey
I'll put a picture on Nest pictures as soon as I am done eating. Helen, You were right earlier today!
Hidey is definitely close by, I can hear her.
Just heard Hidey
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!!!
I am off to mow, bbl.
I hear our baby. She must be getting ready to come back home for a bit.
Hidey in nest
I heard that sweet chirp!
Hello Hidey
Yep,she is back. Maybe she is hungry. I am telling you, I just love that bird!
Parent is above
I am hungry and no one has taught me yet how to fish for my dinner!
I have decoded what Hidey is screaming about-----food food I want food ..... Parent bring me food
Such a persistent jump!
Nice fly out Hidey is getting really good.
Well I guess we know where that jump landed Hidey!
Off again. She didn't stay very long. Guess she saw that there wasn't any food so she left. Oh, well.
I always miss Hidey coming and going! :(
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.
Adult in the nest eating.......
Spidey has started the web off to the left.
Jo, I only did the front yard and part of the back yard and pooped out. The rest will be waiting for me tomorrow!
Parents back from shopping....new to the board....nice to see it is so active
Night light is on now.
You can sure hear the "crunch, crunch" as Paula puts it!
Welcome, EagleClaw. Which state do you hail from?
Whoa! No Hidey in the nest tonight???
Yes, Eagleclaw, we are quite active on this blog. Warning...you may become addicted:)
Going to watch the special with Brian Williams and Pres. Obama. Be back later! Thunder here in Mullens!
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:)
We could use some rain here, Bibee.
Bill - no problem! Today was the first day I was able to see Hidey land and take off myself!
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.
LOL Wanda, that's because Hidey has already eaten at least 3 times today!
Nice Bill you are close by then. Have you ever been to the nest?
Eagleclaw - then you are close enough for a nest visit! Everyone is welcome when we go.
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.
will go anytime....please let me know
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.
Just stopping in to say good night. Pleasant dreams
Big bear on the snow man cam!
Snowmancam
The bear knocked over the Snowman!!
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.
poor woody, bear must be a Pittsburgh Penguin fan
I think we need to move SD and WV closer together. I am already anticipating missing all the fun in October.
Did Hidey bail again or (s)he under the cam?
Wowsie Now that is a Big Bear
destructive too!
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.
Whoa, he was a big bear when he walked right by the cam. Back and then gone again.
Now that is a brave soul!
Snowman being placed upward by unknown
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!
There he is again - the brave man
