Hi Jim,

Thanks for all your comments and insight on the eagles yesterday. I learned some things.

Geula said...

a while back she got up and peeked into the egg cup but didn't move off...or turn the eggs (I think) but she's chirping

GET UP!

movin said...

She got up when she called Liberty, but the way she's acting right now ... and the soft calls she is making ... seem to indicate that she might be laying, or getting ready to lay, the third one now.

She totally blocked sight of the eggs when she was up.


C(°ٿ°)D Jim

movin said...

Can you hear her making the calls??

C(°ٿ°)D Jim

Lori O. said...

Glad we have someone who knows what to watch for - thank you Jim!

Lori O. said...

I can - she sounds kinda desperate, like help.

Lori O. said...

The "nightlight" should go off soon so we'll have better contrast.

Lori O. said...

Was that a yawn?

Geula said...

what time does the nightlight go on? every time I look at the nest at night it looks pitch dark! just see a bit of white where thwe head is an white at the branch

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING...
Belle is either chirping as she is laying egg #3 or want's to be relieved.

Geula said...

sorry for the typos!

Lori O. said...

Geula, I don't think it's the best night light. It sort of sucks in all the light in can and uses infrared but when there's no moon light it just isn't strong enough to give up a decent picture.

The picture does get much better when the sun starts to come up, pulling in that light about an
hour before actual sunrise time at the nest.

Lori O. said...

The dogs aren't going to let me watch until they get their breakfast! Cute but demanding buggers.

Lori O. said...

Oh Good morning Wanda - hope you're right about laying another egg.

Costume Lady said...

Watch for her tail to raise up and she will sort of strain. Or...egg #3 may already by there:)

WV sUSAn said...

And folks it's 2 eggs

Lori O. said...

Is that two or three?

Costume Lady said...

Only 2 eggs!:(

Geula said...

the suspense is killing me! 2 eggs

Lori O. said...

light shifted looks like 2

WV sUSAn said...

Thought fo sho we'd have 3 in the cup this morning.

Lori O. said...

Guess we can all breathe a while since Lib is on the nest.

WV sUSAn said...

Good morning girls. That was sure suspenseful !

Costume Lady said...

I've got to go take care of desserts at church...
Have a Blessed Sunday♥

WV sUSAn said...

Ooops. Morning Jim

Geula said...

well, 2 is okay too, ya know! We've just been fortunate that every year there's been 3. Less fighting over being fed and less strain on us to see if the littlest one gets it's share!~ more room in the nest when they get bigger....less to worry about when they poop shoot!

WV sUSAn said...

All true Geula, all true.

WV sUSAn said...

There goes big daddy turning and tending. Now wiggle in there.

WV sUSAn said...

Going to catch some more zzzzzzzz. BBL

glo said...

Good morning everyone. I see there has been some intense Belle watch. Its been long enough between egg one and what would be egg 3 that I am perfectly happy with 2 eggs Enjoy your day everyone.

hedgie said...

Good Sunday morning all.
Only saw 2 eggs on last viewing.
Think that may be the limit for this year. As you can probably tell, the wind is blowing again. I am so sick of wind.

Jim---hope you are back in bed! You sure were up late....or was it early?!?

Lori O. said...

Both adults in the nest

Lori O. said...

Switch... only two eggs

hedgie said...

Switch and wiggle, wiggle.

Lori O. said...

wiggle wiggle after fluffing a bit of the edges of the cup. I think it's Belle that's on now, but I'm open to being totally wrong about that. She just seems bigger than the one that left.

Lori O. said...

Good morning Lynn -

And how are you and your prescious Mai?

Lolly said...

Good morning! Every morning, I get up and turn on the cam, then I start reading the blog from where I left off last night. I want to go through the excitment and anticipation of the 3rd egg....and the disappointment. Two eggs it will be, maybe it just took it out of her last year to lay 4. If the 3rd was laid now it would hatch so much later and be so much smaller.

Two eggs we have, two eggs it will be....and that is just glorious! Two little Eggberts!!

Lolly said...

Yes, Lynn, hear the wind. Know you are tired of it, but it is NOT snow!

Going to read the paper now. 42 and heading up close to 70. Wahooo!

paula eagleholic said...

Belle might have been calling out for relief this morning.

Morning, all.

Yup, probably 2 eggs. A third today would be a surprise, today is day 5 since the last one was laid.

BEagle said...

Are you saying the second was laid on Tuesday? Paula?

paula eagleholic said...

Up for an egg roll.

NBG nest is really swaying!

That's a nice moderated chat they have there at NBG, lots of people putting lots of time into education people about the eagles.

BEagle said...

It's probably the way I count.

Lori O. said...

Good morning Lolly, Paula & BEagle ...

Lolly you are so-so funny!

paula eagleholic said...

It's nice to see how it's evolved!

paula eagleholic said...

Tuesday evening, BEagle

Lori O. said...

I'd love a third egg just for insurance. I've only seen one in the nest the last two years and you get so darned attached to just that one. But, I guess you don't really split your affection between two, do you?

BEagle said...

Hi Lori!

Lori O. said...

Did he just bring in more fluff?

paula eagleholic said...

So, we have 4 more weeks and counting until the first hatch....more likely 37-38 days from last Saturday!

Oh there's Lib, he brought some fluff, Belle wants it to spread around!

BEagle said...

We have to love both equally.

paula eagleholic said...

Lib gone.

Oh no Lori, you love them all ♥

BEagle said...

Okay. I didn't see anything till really early on the 9th.

paula eagleholic said...

♫♫ Happy Birthday, Mattie!! ♫♫

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, we couldn't see them until then, but the behaviour was there Tuesday night. Hancock forum saw it as well.

paula eagleholic said...

Well aren't the Jordan chicks adorable. Haven't seen them since last week. They are getting their pin feathers in.

paula eagleholic said...

They are both snugged up together ♥

BEagle said...

Paula. When do they say #2 was laid?

BEagle said...

I mean....what time?

paula eagleholic said...

Oregon nest has some snow, nest MT

Duke farms MT

CRC - incubating

Decorah - eagle in the nest

BEagle said...

There is an eagle on the TH nest. They were a week behind Belle and Lib last year if I remember correctly.

BEagle said...

There is a big feather on the Duke nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Think the Vian cam is down.

Icy at Sutton!

BEagle said...

Caltrans has an eagle.

BEagle said...

Sometimes it takes a while for the Vian to stream in.

paula eagleholic said...

Caltrans/Turtle bay first egg laid Feb 12...yay!

paula eagleholic said...

Comments below Vian say it's been down for 3 days?

BEagle said...

Sutton is empty.

paula eagleholic said...

Big yellow feeties on the Jordan chicks ♥

BEagle said...

Looks like Caltrans is laying one or getting ready to.

BEagle said...

An eagle on Decorah.

Mema Jo said...

Good Good Morning! Just like Lolly did, I put up the cam and read like crazy to see what you all saw! I am ok with a 2 clutch! I ditto Geula's comment to the last sentence of Poop Shoot! lol
It is so good to see the Full House of Eagle Watchers on here. All of you are so loyal and so loved!

BEagle said...

Yeppers! First egg lay on Caltrans yesterday.

BEagle said...

Oh! on vian

paula eagleholic said...

Can't get Elsie and Einstein this morning, either.

paula eagleholic said...

Like Margy said, some neat pictures at the BW eagle and osprey cam galleries.

BEagle said...

We have 48 degrees right now. Why is there still snow out there? Be gone snow!

Lolly said...

Just finished the paper and now to get get ready for church. Will have to check on Caltrans when I get home. Yes, checkedon Vian yesterday and looking at the blog there decided it had been down for a couple of days. Crazy folks on there were bickering about what should be done. Not for me!

Okay, I am outta here. I'll be back in a few hours!

BEagle said...

Belle's feathers are getting fluffed with that wind.

She is calling out.

Lolly said...

Have a great day!

And, a personal message for Mai.....Mai, be a good girl!!!!

Oh, and a happy birthay to Mattie!

BEagle said...

The rock at the WE nest looks like a volcano erupting they way the sun shines on it.

hedgie said...

BEagle, #2 was in the 6:30'ish PM time frame, I believe.

BEagle said...

Belle tussling with a sticko.

BEagle said...

Egg rolling.

Geula said...

Hey! I gotta question? What's with the pandas? Anybody watching anywhere? or is it just boids, boids, boids!

Geula said...

I love it when they sit in the nest and play "pick-up-sticks"! or when they fight over a stick....

Lori O. said...

Where are the Jordan eaglets?

paula eagleholic said...

Here Lori,

hedgie said...

Here is an interesting article Mom sent me (snail mail, of course!):

MO/IL Eagles

paula eagleholic said...

Ah, she finally got that stick moved :)

Mema Jo said...

I sure hope we don't get an egg stepped upon - Wiggle wiggle - all is well

Lori O. said...

Morning Jo and Lynn.

Paula, thanks for the Jordan Lake link. Sure is fun to see the babies! That's one up close view!

hedgie said...

Lolly, the wind just takes what little breath I have and it's really a hardship when I have to go outside.

Lori O. said...

Lynn - Nice article from your Mom.
Wouldn't it be great to get a bus and take a field trip for something like that - okay maybe flying is beter.

hedgie said...
