magpie said...

Looks like frozen wavy water at Finland...

paula eagleholic said...

Moorning, all.

Lib in the nest, checking out the bowl. Was laying in it...about gave me a heart attack! He's up now.

paula eagleholic said...

Aw, he's trying to mold a new egg cup.

paula eagleholic said...

Happy Birthday, Megan!!

paula eagleholic said...

I feel asleep right after skating last night, so I am up early today!

magpie said...

Hi Paula...
looks rather comfy does he not,
good Morning

magpie said...

...and away he goes....

paula eagleholic said...

Lib just took off to the right.

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, Margy!

paula eagleholic said...

You know there's no birds in the nest this morning cuz I'm up early and watching, LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Well bust my britches! Lib back with more fluff! Same stuff they've been getting!

magpie said...

some straw-tossing going on ☺

paula eagleholic said...

He's working on the sticks at the back. That thick one is now laying next to the fluff, they need to get that one moved.

magpie said...

yeah it's nice..
glad you are able to watch awhile
Paula


got to sign off here at work soon, shift change coming along soon

paula eagleholic said...

Margy, I'd forgotten about deets! ☺

paula eagleholic said...

Belle ust flew in from the right

paula eagleholic said...

Belle off to the right, and Lib follows

magpie said...

oh away, away....

magpie said...

Away, Away me too...
Best wishes for a Great Sunday

paula eagleholic said...

I didn't realize how much the crisis in Egypt had escalated. Hope Rebecca's Mom can get a flight home soon. They say the airport is open, but it's chaotic.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR MEGAN,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! ♪ ♫

stronghunter said...

Good morning!



Happy birthday, Megan.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING...
I am wondering what will happen if Belle lays an egg and as the snow melts, the cup will get deeper and deeper until the egg disappears, what will she and Lib do? I imagine they will pull the fluff away from the sides, but then the cup will be so deep, it will be like a den or cave, we won't be able to see what is going on with the egg! I know our pair will know how to handle that situation, but it will be interesting to see what they do. Just saying...

HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY♥

Costume Lady said...

♫♪♫♪HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR MEGAN♫♪♫♪

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle just dropped in

floralgirl said...

Eagle just flew in with a stick!

paula eagleholic said...

Lib back with a stick....beaking over the stick...LOL she dragged it right over Lib's head

floralgirl said...

That was funny, she just took it right away.

floralgirl said...

There goes Belle, what will she come back with.

paula eagleholic said...

Belle just took off the back, you could see her flying away

floralgirl said...

There goes Lib

paula eagleholic said...

There went Lib to the right

paula eagleholic said...

Back

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle back with long forked stick!

paula eagleholic said...

It got stuck in the back when he landed, but I think he got it placed OK..nope...still tugging at it

paula eagleholic said...

Now he's just standing in the egg cup area

paula eagleholic said...

Gianni took her first steps yesterday!

floralgirl said...

Wow, that's pretty cool, Paula!

floralgirl said...

Belle must have gone out for breakfast.

paula eagleholic said...

NC eaglets are huge! Haven't seen them since last week.

Lib still standing in the middle of the nest

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning! Our couple is busy busy busy.
Oh what a special day it is.
Megan Happy Birthday and I hope your promised gift of sunshine soon comes out for you :)

paula eagleholic said...

I wonder if Derek and Savannah will produce another egg? Apparently, she was way early last year. This is their normal time frame.

Lib is by the front trunk, picking at sticks

paula eagleholic said...

Hope we get sunshine for Megan's Bday and to melt the snow in our nest!

None here so far, cloudy and 30°

floralgirl said...

It's trying, but supposed to be a pretty cloudy week.
Belle's back!

paula eagleholic said...

Belle in from the right with a stick of her own, I think

paula eagleholic said...

But she is more interested in digging in the egg cup with Lib

paula eagleholic said...

Well she went up front and placed her stick and fooled around up there...Lib on the back, and she came back, tugging on that long stick he brought in earlier...Lib took off the back towards the right. Belle at the back playing with sticks.

paula eagleholic said...

Maybe he went to find that straw bale.

floralgirl said...

Belle was getting comfy in the cup when Lib came back with a stick

paula eagleholic said...

Belle was testing the bowl. Lib brought back a stick....big beaking, think she wanted fluff, LOL. He turned the other way and is working on the back still

BEagle said...

Good morning.

Lib came back while Belle was checking the feel of the egg cup. It looks like she is very happy at Libs return.
Beaking each other.

paula eagleholic said...

Lib is really trying to work on some of those sticks that are sticking up at the back...lots of tugging, but not much movement....oh some movement....still tugging away!

BEagle said...

Enjoy reading the morning nest updates.

Congratulations Gianni!! First steps that will turn into running! lol

paula eagleholic said...

Off goes Belle to the right

floralgirl said...

I would like to be sitting over there watching them fly through the sky with these sticks.

BEagle said...

Looks like Lib is trying to straighten the tangle out of his favorite spot.

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, BEagle.

Yes that would be neat, Megan

belle back with a small stick

floralgirl said...

They need a saw!

paula eagleholic said...

Good job, Belle. She yanked on a stick under Lib, and it got one of those uprights loose. Whoa, she is going at it....move over Lib!

BEagle said...

Belle came back with a short stick but I didn't see where she put it.

They are now doing some serious big stick tugging. Wow. Look at Belle go.

paula eagleholic said...

She got that big one at the nest edge moved...nope she's moving it again!

floralgirl said...

Wow- she is strong.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning in Eagle house building land.

They just keep building and building.

What floor are we on now?

BEagle said...

Lib up front. Belle on the back.

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, Dana. Hope you are feeling better.

BEagle said...

Floral..my thoughts exactly. Belle was tugging with all her bird weight and had her legs stretched get that stick wedged just right!

BEagle said...

It is presently 35 degrees in the capitol city.

Hi Dana!

BEagle said...

Rambo Belle.

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding time at Lake Jordan...aw, big one just pecked the little one into submissive mode.

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you yes I am feeling better thank you.

Paula I would have loved watching you see Gianni taking those steps.

They did put an elevator in that nest with all this on top of on top of building didn't they.??

paula eagleholic said...

There goes Lib to the right

wvgal_dana said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

paula eagleholic said...

I didn't get to see her Dana. I have seen her walking her stroller, tho. But haven't seen those steps all by herself.

paula eagleholic said...

Whoa back with another forked stick! Almost landed on Belle. He is quickly placing on the right before she snatches it :)

Lolly said...

Good morning! Have been watching all the work on the nest while reading the paper. Now I am tired from just watching them work.

Once again, Happy Birthday, Megan. Hope you have a very good day!

Wow, Gianni is taking steps! The year has flown by!

Lib just poofed!

Presently 62 here, our high in a couple of days is going to be 28. Groan...

Lib just back with another log!!

floralgirl said...

He's getting smarter, knew she would try to grab it.
Thanks Dana:)

Lolly said...

You know, I give credit to the new cam for my ability to now tell them apart.

BEagle said...

Beautiful scene of eagle at NBG.

paula eagleholic said...

Lolly, she is just 9 1/2 months!

Lolly said...

I knew she had not had her birthday yet, and was wondering when it was. She has to keep up with those brothers!

BEagle said...

It's wild when the eagle looks right into the cam at NBG. Like it's looking right at you.

BEagle said...

BEagle said...

Uh-oh. There's an echo.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, cool exit off the back by Belle...and off to the left for Lib.

Lolly said...

Oh, cool. Belle just took off and you could see her down below. Love it!

Lib just poofed, too!

paula eagleholic said...

Gianni's Birthday is April 17.

Lolly said...

LOL Paula, love our comments!

BEagle said...

SQ eagle at Sutton is still sitting.

BEagle said...

I guess the NC chicks are in their "terrible twos!"

Lolly said...

They said early Feb on that hatching, BEagle. It should be fun to watch.,\

Mema Jo said...

lol Having 2 older brothers gives a gal the incentive to get up and go!
Gianni you can catch them! Such an
important happening!

BEagle said...

I read where the SQ eagle laid three but there are now only two.

BEagle said...

I see a cute bear ear on the Lily cam.

wvgal_dana said...

We are suppose to..I say suppose to get some sun around 1 thru 5 today. At least that was report I got last nigt.

Paula I was watching the skater also. After the young Chinese girl she got 2nd place. I must have fallen asleep. Cause it was over and news was on.

BEagle said...

Oh, the SQ hatching next week!

Lolly said...

Back with another stick.

BEagle said...

Two days after taxes due.

Lolly said...

I am going to venture out and say that is Lib? Am I right? Please say I am! LOL

Lolly said...

More and more I think we can understand how eagle nests get so big. Can you imagine how much that nest weighs?

Lolly said...

Almost time for me to leave and get ready for church. Need to dry and fix my hair. It is broke! ☺

paula eagleholic said...

Dana, chinese gal got 3rd ... Alyssa Czisny, the gal that was in first place at the time, won the competition.

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, I think that's Lib

paula eagleholic said...

Looks brighter at the nest, think the sun is trying to peek thru.

floralgirl said...

Looks like Lib to me. The sun is trying to burn through the clouds, it did just get brighter here too.

paula eagleholic said...

I see that sunshine now.

BEagle said...

WOW! Sunshine on the nest!

BEagle said...

I see Lib AND his shadow.

floralgirl said...

Yep, and it's up to 31° now, supposed to get into the mid 30's

Mema Jo said...

Don't you just LOVE that shadow of our eagle in our nest...... Wow come on Sunshine..........

Lolly said...

Yes! Sunshine! See those shadows!

Okay, I am leaving now. Back in a couple of hours! Yea, and I knew it was Lib. Good for me! LOL

See ya!

Lolly said...

Oh, and Laurel just said the boys slept til 8:40 this morning. That is totally unheard of!!!!! Yea, we exhausted them yesterday!

paula eagleholic said...

I think Lib is enjoying that sunshine!

BEagle said...

Have fun at Church!

BEagle said...

Lib basking in the sun rays.

wvgal_dana said...

Great thanks for the update Paula..I was hoping that one would win. (: I loved the expression on her face as she changed her skaing.

Heading in to check on my Mom.

later

My delete it did a double

BEagle said...

Two on the nest facing each other.

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is back...they need to get off that nest and let the sun do its work!

BEagle said...

Comparing tail feathers. It does look like Lib's are a little shorter.

BEagle said...

There went Belle.

hedgie said...

Hi again.
Sun only lasted here about 15 mins. But it is up to 37°.
How about that little Gianni???? Wow!!
This year, her birthday will be BEFORE tax day! Taxes don't have to be postmarked til 4/18 this time because Fri.,the 15th is a DC holiday......so whole country gets a break!

hedgie said...

Good to see that Lib and Belle are so industrious......only hope that the bad weather looming whispers to them "wait, wait"!

hedgie said...

Lolly, glad that y'all had such a good time at the waterpark. Remember looking it up not too long ago for some reason and was very impressed. The website had a virtual tour and I wished I had some younguns to take there!

PA Nana said...

Good morning everyone. been sitting here watching our eagles and still can't tell them apart.

Who is sitting in the nest now?

Again, happy, happy Megan. Enjoy the day. Tomorrow you will be older.

Got my half cup of coffee and should really get out of my pjs. The guys drink all the coffee before I'm ready for my cup. Geewhiz.

Sun is shining and it's going to be a good day - God willing.

Time to get dressed. catch you
l8tr

hedgie said...

Need to get to the store to get puppy food...BUT some loony toon has doused a house w/ gasoline in the development next to the store and all emergency equipment is staged there. A wreck just down the road from that has blocked the highway. Geesh....guess I'll wait a while.
Another loony toon jumped from upper tier at the prison and landed on concrete floor below, so airlift there, and a wreck resulted from road being closed there for landing zone.
Messes everyplace!

hedgie said...

Just had to sign back in to post....wonder what's up with that?

hedgie said...

Diann, brew yourself a fresh pot!

Mema Jo said...

Stay home Lynn - too much going on down your way. Can Mai eat hot dogs like Buddy does????

stronghunter said...

I expect Mai would gobble up hot dogs.

Good grief, Lynn. You have a lot of action going on in your area.

BEagle said...

That is Lib in the nest.

Two in nest.

BEagle said...

Belle just rolled in with a nice hunk of fluff.

floralgirl said...

Belle just flew back in!

BEagle said...

They are watching out for something on the sides.

BEagle said...

The bigger chick at NC is roaming and now at the edge of their nest. Cute little feetsies.

BEagle said...

Get your coffee yet PANana?

BEagle said...

Smaller chick at NC is roaming too, but over to where the food is.

Wonder why...

grannyblt said...

So happy to catch both in nest just now. Can't stay, errands even on a Sunday.

BEagle said...

I know...I am catching glimpses while doing some things.

hedgie said...

LOL, Jo, I am sure that Mai WOULD eat hot dogs.....but so far not a crumb of human food has passed her lips----hoping to keep it that way. Cinnamon was SO spoiled with it that she was a nuisance and pest at meal time. Not good!

I can wait til tomorrow to go out. Have to then anyway.....pharmacy messed up one of my rx's and I have to go there to get that straightened out, so no point making two trips.

Hi Lynnne1!

BEagle said...

Whatever was flying around the nest is gone now.

The two are really busy nestorating right now.

Oh. Love beaking.

BEagle said...

Lib close to cam. Belle on other side.

BEagle said...

Lib flew off at the upper right.

BEagle said...

Now he's back with a stick.

BEagle said...

Belle took off. Maybe to show Lib a stick or two.

hedgie said...

Another short play session that has ended in wounding. Mai is back in the crate and I am heading for the chocolate cake. :(

BEagle said...

Belle is back. They are undecided about where exactly to put the latest fluff.

BEagle said...

Belle left again.

Two on the White Rock nest.

paula eagleholic said...

The Jordan lake chicks are all over the nest today.

Mostly sunny here now, can hear the snow melting outside :)

BEagle said...

The small one on NC looks a little pooped.

BEagle said...

Oh, the NC cam went into a lapse.

BEagle said...

Both looked pooped.

Mema Jo said...

BBILW

floralgirl said...

It's gotten pretty cloudy here again, but the snow is melting and dropping off the trees:) It's 37°

Judie said...

Good afternoon, everyone.

Happy Birthday, Megan. Wishing you a lovely day and a lovely year to come.

I see thee was just an eagle in the nest. Maybe Lib?

Logan's is a good place to eat. Closest to us is in Manassas. Too far to drive for food.

Shirley, sure hope Rebecca's mom is able to safely leave Egypt. Wonder if she has contacted the Embassy?

Lolly, glad you had a fun time yesterday.

Congratulations, Gianni!

Going to check the nest again

BBL

PA Nana said...

Well, decided on a cup of green tea, but did get dressed.

See we have a lone sentry at our nest.

Check into NBG and the picture there is spectacular. Both eagles there and was some HP going on. Guess it will be a race to which nest has eggs first.

Back to catch up. L8r

hedgie said...

The QuickTime fix for NC cam only worked the one time. No can view again. All settings changes made yesterday are still there, so.....what a crock.

floralgirl said...

Thanks Judie:) Hope you are feeling okay today.
MT nest

floralgirl said...

Lib back working on sticks-not sure if he brought one or not.

Lolly said...

Sorry, the play session ended badly, Lynn. You know with this whole situation you are going to gain weight! LOL

Diet and excercise are starting for sure for me this week. Groan! The long trip in the fall and then the holidays did me in. Want to be up to hiking in June, so must suffer.

Have seen an eagle leave and another return since I have been back on. I am guessing that is Belle in the nest.

Lolly said...

So, according to Megan, I am wrong. Hmmmmm??? Trying so hard to tell the two apart.

floralgirl said...

Not necessarily. You could be right,and I could be wrong. I am guessing, it's easy to tell sometimes, not so easy others.

Lolly said...

Oh, they really are moving around the NC nest and they are growing so fast!

Lynn, the other day I could not get on. Then this morning no problem. Right now I could not get on, refreshed and got on.????

Just keep trying.

floralgirl said...

Flew out to the left-mt nest

Lolly said...

LOL Megan, so from now on I will sound confident when I say who is in the nest. You sound confident, and I always assume you are right.☺

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Good Sunday afternoon from the City of Bluefield, the great state of West Virginia. Going to a friend's birthday party this afternoon. Then I am going to a meeting tonight to share my experience, strength and hope and then back home to Bedford. I am feeling a strong need to get my butt back to WV!

floralgirl said...

Sometimes I can tell right away, and other times I'm not sure until the other arrives. When they are both in the nest, it's so much easier.

paula eagleholic said...

Lynn...the NC nest has been off and on today...try refreshing a couple of times... I had to do that earlier

Lolly said...

Laurel just said of fb that they were leaving GWL. I am sure they had a fantastic morning in the water park again.

Lolly said...

Just was reading about the training of Buddy. It is very interesting.

Buddy training

paula eagleholic said...

Lib is back moving fluff and sticks...I think he brought more fluff

paula eagleholic said...

Off to the right

Thanks Lolly for the Buddy Link. Interesting reading!

hedgie said...

Here's good story from Ceil:

RTH recovering

Tried NC again...have a little black window showing....MTBR. Thnx, Paula.....

hedgie said...

And it opened!!! But funky blue and green pixels stuff! Can just make out eaglets....don't see a parent.

floralgirl said...

Eagle just flew in with a piece of pine, you can really see the green needles.

hedgie said...

Good Buddy report......hope he learns his lessons a bit faster!

movin said...



***********************

GooD MOrninG, aLL.

***********************

I like to see Lib-Belle working actively in the nest. Wonder how long it will be now.

We might get some rain this afternoon out here in So Cal.

C(°Ù¿°)D Jim

stronghunter said...

I see the green pine needles and our eagle in the nest. Oh, and another one. A little disagreement?

floralgirl said...

Wow Lib brought in a big clump of leaves.

paula eagleholic said...

both back!

paula eagleholic said...

Lynn, that's how mine opens all the time.

paula eagleholic said...

I see the pine too, it's to the left of Lib.

floralgirl said...

Yeah, Belle brought that in, then he came with a bunch of leaves, they really have covered up that snow. A lot of melting going on here today.

stronghunter said...

Don't you just hate it when you buy a spray can of something and drop it and break the top so you can't use it?

Bought a can of furniture spray. Never used it, now the top is broken. Maybe I can find a top that fits. Maybe I can't.

paula eagleholic said...

Eating again at Jordan Lake

paula eagleholic said...

You can tell that snow has melted in our nest!

paula eagleholic said...

split is coming!!!!!!!!

stronghunter said...

Wheeee!

Lolly said...

Oh, I see the green. Yea, been waiting to see more color.

Guess what..think I am getting sick. Really do not feel bad but I am loosing my voice. Laurel said that is how her cold started. I have not had a cold in over two years. Dern!

Lolly said...

Well, did not see that coming!

paula eagleholic said...

Hope it's just a cold, Lolly.

I've been keeping a close eye on my Boo dog today. I noticed the other day that his back legs were wobbly. I am afraid he may have hip dysplesia. He has not had a good day today. Will call the vet tomorrow for an appointment.

I looked online at the symptons...and he has them for sure. So we'll see what the vet has to say.

paula eagleholic said...

I see the big clump of leaves, now that Lib departed.
