Just amazing.Iwas accepted as a new Eaglemom yesterday, can't wait to buy something with Hidey's picture on it. I plan to do a program on Eagles for the Green Gardeners next year. Hope to see our baby today. Will be in and out, have to go water all the plants at Lake house today.And it's about90 outside and so humid. Gwen

ENJOY--!!
Good morning all! I finally got to see Hidey fly from the nest yesterday - what a beautiful sight!
Have a blessed day!
NORFOLK'S 'REBELS' NEST is black!--Yesterday -- a 'young' EAGLET (named HE)-attempted flight from nest---BEFORE HIS TIME!---fell--workers caught him--plan to put him back in nest today!!--needs a little more time in nest!!--Those REBELS have all the FUN!!
I should say the LITTLE REBEL overshot the rim of the nest & caught talon on the rim & then FELL!!---that's how he fell!!--
PICS!---
There's a cute pic of the big girl who fell - it's in the top stores section so it should be easy to find.
Article says they'll put her back at 8:30 this morning.
Darn - they are just so adorable. Hard to believe Hidey is about this size (as one in pic who is 9 wks).
http://www.wvec.com/news/topstories
MORNIN' LORI & BECKY!---What the temp in your area---it's 65° here & climbing---
LORI---hope you can watch NORFOLK put the little 'REBEL' back in nest!---They use lots of equipment----cherry buckets, etc---don't know how they will handle the EAGLETS in nest!----I have study group this am & will miss it---
8:30 NOW!!
BWO thinks they have a hatch!
MORNIN' DEB!---W/CHECK!
They are loading the eaglet into a duffle bag now.
Nate is in the bucket truck and getting ready to climb the tree at NBG.
Has anybody seen Hidey this morning?
Speak of the angel and there she is! :) How funny.
There she is! I saw a fly in!!
DANG! Missed it again.
Think they will pull out the camera at NBG?
SOME ONE IS EATING IN THE NEST!!--ho!
You should see Nate in the nest soon at NBG. They are hoping the eaglet just climbs out of the duffle bag.
There's Hidey!!!
They were asking that same question on the Chat, but no answer.
OH YEAH!---"SHE" isn't going to let any REBEL take the attention away from HER!!---SHE'S SUCH A SHOWOFF!!!---should we get her an agent!----ho!
One of the other eaglets fledged at NBG, must have thought the climber was coming to get him. Sounds like it flew quite a ways.
She flew in early this am around 545...she wasn't there long....geesh I am always a couple minutes behind everyone else when I see her..wonder why?
Special Thoughts to you and all the family, Sharon...
Welcome Home Miracle,
and Best wishes to NBG folks.
Congratulations to BWO and their first baby !
xox
Now you can see Nate.
...and Good Morning Everyone....
headed to Norfolk site...
HK is the bird that fledged at NBG.
They are bringing the duffle bag up into the tree.
parent off the eggs and chick at BWO
Nate has the duffle bag now.
There is the eaglet!
Hidey can't make up her mind. SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO NOW!
She went.
And Hidey is Soaring
Bravo Nate at Norfolk !!
Morning Eaglet looks big which it is when they are close in like that.
Sounds like she went near the cam.
I finally got to see Hidey Fly!
Good Morning ALL in Eagleland.
I too Margy seen little bobblehead at BWO yeahhhhhhh!!!! ( :
Sharon and Thelma special thoughts for you and other family members.
Good morning. Two overworked and stressed out nurses have enjoyed this web camera so very much. It is a joy to watch the bald eagles up close and personal and to share their "picnic" lunches with them. Thanks for such a great opportunity.
Beautiful Avatar, Sharon
I hope you and your family have precious happy memories to help ease the sadness of your loss.
xo ♥
Welcome Carol J. and the other stressed out nurse! Keep coming back. This is a great place to be!
Welcome Aboard Gwen and several other new Momsters ☺
Bob Quinn mentioned yesterday that he thought the Osprey at BWO was sitting higher. So might have hatched yesterday. Usually can see little one today. CONTRAGULATIONS LISA!!!!!
Margy, that is Donna and Mommy!
The pic that is.
DEB!!--SET ME STRAIGHT---REBEL site!----Attempt to put the EAGLET back in nest---another EAGLET flew out!---WOW! (and meanwhile back at the ranch)---OUR GENIUS flew in!! (little show-off)-- I want to stay home & watch!!!!
Yes, Norma, HK the oldest eaglet fledged!
I saw OUR fly in--but didn't see the REBEL EAGLET FLY off!--I am trying to get dressed--guess DEB is too!---ho!
I am off to work, bbl.
It's beautiful, Sharon...thank for you sharing this with us.
"Osprey-Eyed" Suzanne got a screen grab at 5:12 this morning of what she thought was a hatch at BWO - that cam goes nactive at 10 or 11pm I forget which....but I think the hatch date is today ☺
Have cheched Loch of the Lowe's Osprey site in Scotland, there is surely one of the three chicks absent from the nest, waiting for their diary to update.....so very sad, these chicks are not thriving too well, but I did see Isla with a nice fish a little while ago, trying to feed the other two..
Have to run out for awhile.
Best wishes for a Special Day for all.
xoxo
Morning eagle buds. No time this am to read comments...meeting friends in from SC in a little while, so will catch up with y'all later this afternoon. Hope everyone has a good day. Severe weather forecaast for this area....even possible tornado warnings...stay safe!

Chick Alert!
It appears we have a chick. The parents have been doing a good job of covering it up.
morning everyone:)
you so look like Donna and your momma Sharon
welcome to Carol J and all nurses.....aways wanted to be a nurse.....my math skills were never good, so I was discouraged at a young age not to go it to the professional...:(
Good morning Mits -
Lori "Newbie" here. :)
Which website has a new chick?
Morning, all!
Don't know if anyone got to see the NBG eaglet returned to the nest - haven't read the blog. I tried, but the cam is down. Found this post by DGIF.

“Inadvertent Fledging”
Just before 6 pm this evening (June 2nd) Eaglet HE - the youngest of the three was hop-flying across the nest. This is typical behavior for young eagles and allows them to strengthen their flight muscles as they get closer to fledging. The eaglet overshot the rim of the nest slightly and dangled by its talons for a short time before releasing and dropping from the nest.
Garden visitors watched the young eagle spread its wings and glide a short distance away from the nest. Biologists with CCB and VDGIF responded along with Norfolk Botanical Garden personnel. CCB & NBG staff were able to capture the young bird without incident. The bird is unharmed.
VDGIF & CCB biologists will return the bird to the nest tomorrow morning. Nuckols Tree Care will again volunteer their services to assist us. If all goes according to plan the bird will remain in the nest for a week or more - gaining the strength it needs to successfully take its first flight.
Morning, all!
Just caught up...NBG fledged...can't blame that eaglet! Wouldn't want to be pulled out of the nest again. Did the other one climb out of the bag?
And a hatch at BWO!!YAY! This will keep Lisa busy over the next couple of months!
Welcome Carol J and friends!
Blackwater Osprey cam, Lori
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
It seems NBG always has some excitment there. Remember last year when the Horned Owl attacked the nest....and Buddy had a diseased and deformed beak? Now, a misguided landing and unintentional fledge. Never a dull moment. I think we need to take a Road Trip there:)
Well that was quick! NBG Eaglet safely returned to the nest.
Don't forget to read the last sentence of the article :)
NBG slideshow, article and video
Congrats to Gwen on joining the Eaglet Momsters. WELCOME!
The video is the one I posted here last night.
Is that Hidey peeping?
Thanks Mits! I didn't used to look like them until I lost weight.
You are GOOD, Paula!
Thanks!
Welcome GWEN!
Hello Wanda.
Dead spider!! YEAH! Wish ours would get stuck somewhere but not inside the camera dome! :)
And, Hello Sharon.
I like your picture/avatar today.
I'm sure angels are watching you, Sharon.
I feel like an orphan a lot!
nice landing by Hidey!
Hidey flys in
and a fine take-off just a moment later.
somebody's getting pretty comfortable with those wings.
back again!
Your video is ahead of mine. just saw the fly in!
Sharon, I too, thought that was you with your sister. Is that Mattie's Mom?
That was a great landing on the back of the nest!
Horn .... Hi back to you ( :
there were 2 fly-ins, actually. :)
OK, got it now...in and out! Presently in!
that take-off was a little galumphy, but it did the trick.
Wow, quick exit! Hop from left to right and off! We are getting quite confident! Flying must be fun!!
The last time I saw Hidey last night, he was in the nest just hollering his head off. Mom or Dad wouldn't feed him, so he took off. Don't know where he was during the bad storm that we had, but the rain probably helped with his bug problem:) I taped the hollering and fly-off with my camera, and as before, it is poor quality, but I love listening to him call out so mournfully:) On WILD AND WONDERFUL.
It is so wonderful to see our baby growing up and becoming so confident. To all our NEWBIES: it is worth getting a numb butt, isn't it?
Hey, Dana...anything new on Ed? How are you holding up?
Wanda, Donna is/was Mattie's grandmother.
Sharon, you have mail
FROM LISA.....
Nest Update
06/03/09:
Chick Alert!
We have confirmation from the Refuge that we do have a chick. The parents have been doing a good job of covering it up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: I will be traveling later today and might be delayed in posting the newest photos.
Lisa - webmaster
No Wanda won't know anything until June 10th on his breathing. We both are staying home today---he hurt his lower back somehow. Me I have a runny nose -- taking the liquid for diabetics. Lots of appt. next week. Thank you for asking about Ed.
That is GREAT EXCITEMENT FOR LISA...with no Osprey chicks for last season. SHE IS A HAPPY CAMPER I'M SURE !!
I hope now they change the time for BWO to refresh more often. Since the eaglets have fledged at BWE.
they did change the time at BWO, a while back Dana, went from 45 to 30
No email yet Mits.
No email yet Mits.
This pic is Donna and Mattie!
Thanks Mits for that info...jus seems like this lady doesn't want to get very far up off that chick. Got one good look but waiting for another ( :
I used to call Donna "Doa" when I was little. Andrew extended it to "DoaDoa" and that is what Mattie and Justin called her too!
I'll bet Bob and Mrs. Bob are HAPPY CAMPERS today. He is so deserving of that prize:)
sending it again, Sharon
REMEMBER CLICK HERE
TO VOTE FOR BOB QUINN'S PICTURE # 4 UNTIL WE HEAR FROM BOB THAT HE WON
Mits, you have mail! :)
Good morning all! Boy, that was some storm at the nest last night. Got home late, checked out the cam but did not get on the blog. We had a chance of storms last night and a chance of rain today, but so far it is 76 and bright sun shine.
got it Sharon....
LOLLY, I have little columbine plants about 1 inch high....so excited to see the bloom next year! They are so special because you sent them to me:) Your purple ones will be ready in a few weeks. I will let them dry out, before sending them.
Cute story for you!
Last fall during the program Jacob (4) first put his hands over his ears, then turned his back to the audience. Lots of laughter! Well, I had my talk with him last week. Drew pictures of happy faces and stick figures. Drew them all the same with ONE different. I pointed out how people look at the one that is different. That if he would perform like the others that no one would be looking at him, only his family. I saw that he understood. The night before the program Laurel started to repeat the talk and remind him. He said, "Actually, Mommy, I have already had this talk." Last night before the program, I reminded him and he said, "I remember!" And guess what....he did beautifully!!!!! Yea!
Yeah Jacob!
Yea, Wanda! That is so exciting. I hope they do wonderfully for you. Enjoy!
Lolly is (maybe not spelling right) Bomount Texas near you???
Dana, no, Beaumont is south and east of me. Down closer to Houston.
both O's at BWO
What a wonderful way to teach a child life's lessons! GRANDMAS ARE THE BESTEST!
Seen chick at BWO ( :
Well that is good Lolly. I don't recall you having an in ground pool. Someone found a 5 ft. alligator in their in ground pool.
Speaking of Grandmas, where's Jo this morning. Too much Alexis,last evening or too many MEATBALLS?
That was interesting. Was watching OK. An adult flew from the bar at the top, picked up a fish in the nest, and flew to a log in the lake. They zoomed in on the eagle sitting right on the log on the water.
Yeah, Beaumont is down there where there might be alligators. No, no inground pool. But, we have two small ponds with a stream that runs between the two. Would hate to find an alligator there. Not much chance. We did have a blue heron that ate our fish one day.
Lolly tee hee which cam are you watching? Your above comment doesn't say?
Dana - I think you can stop voting now. I received confirmation I won the Viewer's Choice award (overwhelmingly) and the top three prizes are strictly by the panel of judges.
Thank you all so much for your support!
Bob
Oh I've seen pictures of your beautiful gardens and ponds and waterways.....I just WANT TO SEE THEM ON HOUSE AND GARDEN....who do we get in contract with to have Lolly's place put in House and Gardens it is so so beautiful.....
Lolly is watching the OK cam, it sounds like
YEAH BOB!!
Watching OK eaglet get on the very edge of the nest. Sorta scary now that we know that sometimes they do fall out of the nest. OK eaglet would land in water.
only 4 kestrels in the nest box this a.m.
Good Late Morning to Everyone & I do mean ALL OF YOU! This is the happiest blog I know!
Congrats to BWO - Hatching in the nick of time! More to come I hope!
NBG nest is the mostest with the commotions! Maybe it's the great coverage they have that viewers get in on everything! Thanks Deb for the morning commentary and Paula thanks for notifying us with the video!
Graduations are here - one gd this year tomorrow evening.
Lolly - Jacob did GOOD! Very proud of your grandmothering skills! You must have been a kindergarten teacher in your previous life! lol

** GOOD mORNING **
** EVERYBODY **
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
WHOO HOO! I just read Bob's comments that he has had official notification of the Viewer's Choice Award! Our votes were overwhelming!
Now our prayers are needed for Bob to receive one of the top three awards from the Official Judging! We have overwhelming Prayer/Positive Thoughts Power too!
LOL Yes, Jo, I love it when I can have a teaching moment with my Grandsons. Now, I have grown up, no longer a kindergarten teacher, I am now a gardener. Jack says to me, "D---n, you must have a good yard man!" LOL
Good Morning in Eagleland Jim and Mema Jo.
Yep a chick which Bob said he thought yesterday female was sitting higher at BWO. A great win for Bob.
NGB eaglet back safely in nest. To fledge when time.
Lolly they are having a bad storm at Ok. My cam on the right keeps bleaking on and off.
Good Morning In Eagleland to Megan since I haven't had the chance to say that to you.
How do thy flowers grow?
We actually had some heavy lightening and thunder here a couple of times last night. A couple of them must have been within a block. The lights dimmed way down to a glimmer, but they never went out completely.
Only a little rain here and there. Cloudy as Heck and pretty cool today.
I'm glad they say the NBG eaglet has been returned, but so far I only see two ... more or less in the nest.
Finally! One of the eggs has hatched at BWO. Whadayathinkaboutdat?!
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Jack has your number, Gal!
IthinkitisgreatJIM lol
Jim, when Nate was climbing the tree with the eaglet in a backpack, one of the other eaglets fledged. I guess it wasn't taking any chances.
Hi Jim! We had severe lightening last night - heard a hit somewhere nearby - climbed deeper under the covers and prayed a little!
The oldest NBG eaglet has fledged - That is why there are only 2 to be seen. (Someone correct me if I am wrong)
Look at BWO. Off the egg bowl, but I can't make out much on my puter.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Keeping an eye on OK and NBG. NBG has that spider and now the close up cam at OK is having a problem. These cams are wonderful but a real pain to maintain. A BIG thanks to Steve and all his crew for our cam.
Thank Speedy Sharon!!!
Love the avatar pics! Love my Eagle buddy too! loL
Maybe the chick has moved toward O. Mom and is getting fed now.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
No, Dana, I do not think they are having a storm, but definitely a cam problem.
Snapped the BWO pic - but even though I zoom in I can't see anything but 3 objects! They blend in so well with the nest materials - thanks to nature!
I had not been able to get the OK close up cam on for about a week - just the wide view would come on.
Time to take a break - getting ready for lunch with the graduate!
BBL
i like when some tiny little bird hangs out in the nest. reminds me of the scale & how big Hidey & co. are.
Sharon, you have mail....all is well did a system restore and problem is fixed....
hidey in nest
and off again!
Congrats, Bob!
Off to excercise!

The mother BWO is staying away from the egg(s), but it might be that more than one has hatched.
I don't know how she will care for both locations now that they are separated.
I keep missing Hidey!! Anybody get any pics??
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
I think the flickers are finally getting to use their nest in the tree.
Meanwhile there is an eaglet at BWE.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
She looks like she is doing just fine, Jim
Jim did I miss something at BWO???? You said "don't know how she will care for 2 nest"????
I know some of you have been watching the Loch Garten osprey nest. They have had quite a scare there with the male disappearing for 30 hours and the nest was in jeopardy. It appears as though he has returned though and hopefully all will be well.
New weights and measurements for Xi Lan at Atlanta.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
thanks for the update Becky
Thanks for the update Becky see you are in Texas. Sure someone has probably already said that our member Lolly is in Texas also. Of course you two aren't in same town.
The Momsters are one formidable group. You so overwhelmed the voting you caused them to shut down voting a week early.
Bob we may not be able to all meet in one place at the same time. WE DO HAVE AN AWESOME PRAYER CHAIN !! ( : AND fingers that can vote a lot of times lol
yes Bob, judges beware;)
I take it that it is the second eaglet at NBG up on the big branch.
He/she just faced into a strong gust of wind, spread his wings and 'soared' in place for 20-30 secs.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Bob you deserved it ! Now I pray the judges will see your talent, the colors in the awesome picture you took to represent The Saving of the Chesapeake Bay.
Finney's osprey nest is back sorta;)
Wildwatch Osprey is off her chick for all to see ☺
I do believe there are TWO there but not sure
Deb had said that was a possibility....☺ ☺
Howdy, everyone! I can hear our Hidey, but Hidey is doing just that-- hiding! Sounds like near or on the cam. Sounds pretty hungry!
I've got lots of studying to do today, but hope all of you have a fantastic afternoon! Will check back before school tonight. Prayers for all, for healing and safety, and many blessings. Prayer of thanksgiving for Bob's photo win! Congratulations, Bob! Jim, that WAS some thunder & lightning show here last night, wasn't it?!
BBL-- before school. :o]
C'mon Hidey, Get 'er done...I got to sack out soon.
Pretty thundery sounding forecast, Mits M - very glad not to see the word "Tornado Watch or Warning" in there yet ☺
That makes for a relieved dispatcher for the evening shift.
Exhausted need a panda nap. bbl
No adult visible now at WW
What a big Osprey Mom at WW !
Time for some z's, find the ones I didn't have overnight.
Hope it is a good afternoon for all.
Watch the Weather!
Contratulations Bob...
xo
Two adults at WW-
Oh yeah, thanks for the Finney Nest alert, Mits
Yuk- don't like the hail and severe strorms forecast, but would love some rain. We are 'slammin' plants into the garden out there. Got me a d--mn good yard man, too, and I am working him hard! poor guy wishes he had work so I would leave him alone:)
I hear our precious little Hidey nearby!
All I got at Finney's so far is a strange "test pattern".....
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Come on down Hidey and sit a spell
Bob - we'll never tell!
Catch ya'll later....heading to other office.
that is why I said it what up "sorta", Jim
Just in case you get bored
Click on this link! :)
Both parents and a fish, now just 1 parent with the fish. Hidey will be there shortly I would venture to say.
Hidey looks headless!
You are right, Too funny, Hidey's head is missing.
lol....puffed up tight
step away from the fish...
You touch it - you FLY!
Tantrum time!
Food fight!
GEE THANKS SHARON.....NOW I'M HOOKED ON THE CAT..........
