and go round up the others too...
Eagle back in nest!
Now both- stick fight!
HP!
Belle is back working on the nest cup. Lib just flew out.
FIESTY again this morning...more HP
After that HP, I guess we are clear which one is Lib and which one is Belle. ☺
Morning Megan, Maggie and Lynne2!
Any estimates / guesstimates on when we'll see the first egg?
Just once, what is HP?
Belle had an egg 365 days ago, didn't she?
Good morning:)
Just a silly way to say they just mated- hanky panky
Hi Lori! Hi JOE!!
HP is what we call "hanky panky".
It's ok Joe - I had the same question last week.
I think first egg last year was Feb 2 so a year ago yesterday.
We are silly sometimes Joe...comes from months of watching NOTHING while waiting for the BIG DAY! We joke about our "blogtionary".
come on Belle.....
PUSH IT OUT PUSH IT OUT
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY OUT!!!
Good morning--just settling in at work. I see an eagle on the egg cup.
Oh, no....here we go again......
Yep, Feb 2nd it was......thank goodness the sky and the nest are clear!
Guess Belle got the cup comfy again and now settled down....for how long?!
found this interesting article on Hancock
Egg Developement
45 pages on that USGS report....from the link that Steve posted on the New Thread comment...
no I haven't read it all yet...some great pictures....
of the NCTC nest of course!
think it will be a good read...
Thanks Steve !
They have been fornicating for 2-3 weeks! :)
yes, they certainly have! I was wondering about that so I looked it up and found that article.
OH MY....manners have gone out the door....
Thanks for the new thread Steve, will check out article ASAP!
Lib came back, think he brought leaves for the cup.
Gotta go - Lynne,email me if we get an egg today!
Lori, I have to go too......won't be here ALL DAY have to get to work.
don't know if I'll get a chance to check in from there, but I think they do have internet...
SOMEONE EMAIL LORI PLEASE when the big event takes place!
oh, and ME TOO!!!!! I can check my email so much faster that catching up on the blog!
NBG was down this morning for a while but there are no eagles in the nest so I doubt they laid and egg yet either.
Well, going to clean out truck mess, drive out to get the papers (safer on this ice!) and then put truck in the garage (I didn't last night because SO slippery to try to walk with dog pulling on leash. )
Good morning! Felt for sure we had an egg when I saw her in the egg cup then read the blog starting with when I went to bed. Dern! Just saw them go through that routine of digging in the egg cup. Sure hope Wanda is not right!
be careful Lynn...hope you aren't getting sick!
LOL Sitting here in my pjs. I always get dressed first thing...not this morning, cam right to my laptop. Jack just brought me a mug of coffee.
Oh, I heard eagles! Wow, what wonderful sound!
remember the sounds last year Lolly when we were watching Two Harbors?
laying that first egg?
you me and Paula
I think it was Feb 17
I knew we had wind sound last night but was not confident we had good sound from the nest. How fantastic! We will hear the eaglets. But, I did not hear the fly out.
Yep, remember that Margy!!
16 here this morning and no sun. Snow coming tonight. Want to try to get to the store today. Will have to go in Jack's truck cause I do not want to open the garage door. His truck is small, hate to go in it but no choice.
Floralgirl. They really do need to keep puttng leaves in that egg cup. Considering the possibility that one may have slipped thru last.
Night. Last night.
No local paper out there. Called....they said district manager was out this way and they'd have him bring one---I asked that it be brought in to porch!!
Truck mess was worse than expected. That stuff doesn't freeze. ARGH!
I believe Wanda was joking about an egg slipping through! Susan, we have been joking about how they brought in so much more fluff and twigs to cover the snow in the nest...that the eagles were building a 2 story nest!
Yeah, Wanda was joking!
Please say a special little prayer for 10 y.o. Cedric----he is a local boy who has been missing since 2/1. No other details yet as to circumstances.
They said Endangered......Center for Missing and Exploited Children are on the case, too.
Lower left corner of the cam looks foggy
It sure does, Paula.......hope it's not a creeping fog. Wouldn't that be the pits?
Did you take Boo to work?
Of course we will never know and I sure hope not, Paula. I'm viewing still cam today from work so will be checking blog to make sure I don't miss anything. Heaven forbid. Haha. Is that Lib on nest now?
Lib came back with food. Belle has it now.
AHA! Ya'll can't hide from me! Lib just brought Belle some breakfast! We are gonna get us an egg today!
Ahhh both on nest
And one gone. Fast
Must have been a little fish. Looks like it's all gone.
That fog is disappearing quickly now.
I left Boo at home, gave him some taters for breakfast :)
Great shot of the cubs on the Lily cam!!!
Today is the Chinese celebration of the Lunar New Year and Year of the Rabbit. Let's have a party!
Good Sunny Morning from here in the valley!
Not really too disappointed but being realistic this is what has happened in years past. Test drive with an over night and then fuel up with fishes before the main event! lol
One thing for certain is that this event gets all of the Momsters/Dadsters
bonding!
I don't remember where to find a
Pop-Up cam........ Glo or someone help me out here
Belle flew out, empty nest.
Eagle back with a stick.
MeMa Jo Its under the still cam on the main page. Look where date and time are and you will see Pop Up
JO
for still cam,even though you might not be able to see the words Pop Up Cam cause I cannot,
click underneath "image will reload...might have to click it twice...wait for it...it should come up
You'll get a better tip from someone else probably
Love the sun on the nest...only sun I have.
I do not use the pop up, but split the screen between two windows. Really like that!
So, I type away on the blog, keep and eye on the nest, and I can hear little cubbies nursing away. Live is good!
Life!
I see Pop Up Thanks
Been here watching and there is too much fluff under fluff for an egg to fall through. Wanda was just kidding.
Prayers for all people and animals in need.
I really wish the pop up would stay up until it is manually put down....
I know what you are saying about the split screen-Lolly.
NBG Cam is Up/Running
Nest is MT
I can see the words Pop Up Cam at the work computer, Jo...used to be able to see it here on the home computer, so I just use my imagination and x-ray vision
ttfn got to disappear for awhile
xo
Wish I could understand how you do that, Lolly. I can't get my windows to shrink down to do that. Any tips would be appreciated. As soon as I make a click on a screen, the cam gets moved to back and out of sight.
That is strange MeMa Jo I leave my pop up up all day long. It does stay up til I put it down. If you go to a site that you have full screened or whatever it could get hidden but it should be there. On the other hand for me it is the live feed that I can't keep up all the time on my laptop and still do anything else.
Hi. Darth here.
MT nest, but with a big inviting egg cup. C'mon Belle, lay one or more on us.
A story you might enjoy while waiting:
As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Kentucky back country.
As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight.
There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.
The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man. And as I played "Amazing Grace," the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together.
When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full. As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."
Apparently I'm still lost....
Bye, bye. Time to haul Judie off to the big school house.
Darth
BWO has a car at the platform.....
Darth - you made me laugh
Take care of Judie - tell her to be aware of Black Ice and for Heaven's sake not to slide on the sidewalks!
Love you guys!
Glo I don't mean that the pop up Shuts down but when I start to type on the blog or bring up another program - It just drops to my Menu bar and disappears from my sight.
Hardee-har-har-har, Darth!!!
Take good care of that gal of yours--and youself, as well!!
Car is gone at BWO but Eagle is there with food
Trying to blog, watch stiill cam AND work is gonna be tough today. Whew. I just hate when the job gets in the way of my fun. Hahaha
Love that one, Darth:)
My daughter sent that one to me shortly after she had to have her septic tank dug up, in the middle of winter a few years ago.
Me, too, Jo.......except with Windows 7, there/s not an icon on the taskbar.....I have to roll mouse onto the internet icon--it gives a list of everythig open and then I have to click on which one I want to show.
Feeling puny. Took cold meds. Heading to sofa for a snooze while Mai naps. BBL.
On this laptop I am able to open two windows. Then I right click on the bar at the bottom and a list pops up and I click on "show windows side by side". I can have three or four up, but go for two.
I just open the Outdooor tv page, full screen, then I use my mouse to minimize the screen-if you put your cursor over the edge of the open page,then it will become a sideways arrow, left click and hold down, and move it in to make the screen smaller. It becomes a small rectangle just big enough to show the cam view. Then I open another browser window and resize it to fit beside my cam page.
I took a break and had a phone call from my Bragg Gal. Everything is good.
My problem is that I have FF and IE
IE is where I have the Live Feed and
FF is where I blog. Thanks for all the different ways to view things all at once.
Hi, Everyone,
Well, I'm glad to see that it looks like the sun is out at the nest! Still pretty cold there, though.
I'm going to go to school pretty early (for me) today, and attempt to get everything done really early. That way I won't have to go to class after dinner tonight. About to get Emma to chase her tennis ball for a while, and slow her down a bit. Can't really wear her out--energy is her middle name--but if she runs around for a while, she usually takes a long nap. That will hopefully enable me to spend a bit more time at school.
Darth, loved the bagpipe story! Really a good one!
Lynn, prayers for your speedy return to perfect health! Get lots of rest, and hopefully the meds will do the trick. Tell Mai to take it easy on you today!
Well, better get busy with Emma, so I can get this show on the road. Will check back later. Hope we soon have an egg, and hope the weather cooperates this year!
Why do you use FF for one and IE for the other?
lol Because that is the way hubby set it up to open...... Good question!
I'll ask him.....
I think I am going to the dogs!
I have help controlling my Blood Sugar
with Metformin.. However, I also have
each morning a piece of whole wheat toast with honey and peanut butter spread on it. Isn't that what Boo and Jack also have?
Doesn't matter, whatever works, I was just curious.
Great info from Dave Hancock about the egg-laying process.
Feeling a bit better.....maybe some lunch will help, too.
Saving leftover Chinese food for dinner, but definitely want something hot forlunch.
Just finished a short practice with Mai. She is NOT catching on to the "down" position at all. It is the next step from the sit, which she does very well......when she's calm.
ssssssssssssssssssssss
Good MorninG
EveryonE.
ssssssssssssssssssssss
Looks like last night with Belle must have been the trial night.
C(°?°)3 Jim
Lynn I hope you awaken from your nap feeling much much better.
Sharon - I hope you are feeling better with your back pain.. I was really excited last evening with Belle in the nest... Guess we'll try again after Lib feeds her well - so again tonight!
So Far NBG hasn't produced their first egg yet!
Eagle alert!
Eagle Alert
That's Lib and he came in empty handed
Thanks, Lolly---new one on me! It worked!!! But now it disappeared again....gotta try that again.
Taking a break
Need to do Feb cards......
BBILW
From my eldest:
A momma, poppa & baby tomato are walking down the street. Baby tomato is lagging behind. Poppa tomato gets mad, goes back & stomps on her-and says "Catch up"!
Still can't get it to work again, Lolly. What am I doing wrong?
HP!
I saw that HP this time!
Good ole' Lib
ROFL Lynn Now that was very entertaining and I bet when I pick up the Ketchup bottle I'm going to remember the joke and laugh out loud!
Belle flew up into the tree, Lib still in the nest.
Hi Paula - check your email when you have time for a message from Yahoo
E_M site. Thanks.
I have 4 cams up and can do 5. I save the most room for the blog unless something is happening but I use Vista and IE8
ANother of those "makes no sense" conundrums. It worked once, and now won't. If I move the blog window to one side, as soon as I click on the mouse, it moves back to center, and if I do the "show windows side by side" all I get now is a quiver of the blog and nothing else appears. Suzan, I have IE8 and Windows 7.
Maybe I should reboot!
Well, that didn't help any. Darn puter.
I didn't work on my card list yet but I will
Need to check out FB
BBILW
Must be Lib at top of nest. Can't see all of him.
Hello, just getting on~~daughter had to plug modem into her laptop for conference call at work.
Vista works like Winxp. I can make the window any size I want and they do not minimize to the tray unless I put it there. Can you hover the mouse and drag the window in or out? Sorry that I am not up on Win7.
I can move it, Suzan, but if I resize it by dragging, as soon as I try to do anything else, it returns to full size. GOing to desktop puter and see about it---it's Vista.......think I was able to do it on it before.
Lynn, maybe there is a desktop setting. Try right clicking on your desktop to see if it gives you any options. Can't see Windows giving up this option as it is one they advertise about so much.
Okay, that works on PC. Have them side by side now.
Sorry, Lynn, just not an expert enough to help you. This computer is Vista. On the other laptop I was unable to get two windows. You have to have two open and up, then click show side by side.
We just ventured out and went into town. That was fun.....NOT!! We have two ways into town, either country roads or the interstate. Decided to do the interstate thinking it would be clearer. Well, it probably was but it was still just tire tracks and sometimes sheets of ice. I was a nervous wreck! We are home safe and sound...no falls! I really did not need things from the grocery store but wanted more cd's for pictures.
Have you ever had a really simple person wait on you? Now, I am so glad they are employed but this woman at Staples was a riot. She was ramblin on about John Wayne. She told us his real name was Sue. That was why he sang that song "Boy named Sue." John Wayne??? LOL
Okay, Suzan when I go back to laptop, I'll try it there instead of on the taskbar.
Hey Lolly, are you sure she was an employee...maybe an imposteer:)
lol How about Johnny Cash???????????
I have so much trouble doing any of those neat things that you all are talking about, since FRONTIER came on the scene.
We switched to COMCAST today with a guarantee that I would have a faster 'puter and less difficulty. So, we shall see. Got a package which includes TV, Phone, my 'puter and Gene's laptop. So anxious to get it started.
I didn't get to see the last HP, but I did see the first one this morning. I find that so reassuring that they are still a 'couple'.
Got a picture of it and put it on Momsters Album. Also on my Wild and Wonderful for a quick check.
I think it is beautiful.
Posted a great cartoon on my blog!! Check it out.
That was me deleting.........stutter-stepped x3!!!!
Duh, Lolly.....everyone knows that John Wayne was really Marion somebody! (My Dad's fathers' name was Marion!) Sounds like she is a real dork!
Wanda, good that you have a choice about your net options. No cable here-----they said they would NEVER come back here. Let us know your new email address!!!
LOL Lynn...is that 3 great cartoons, or one cartoon that is Great X 3 ??
Wanda, good for you. Hope it works out. You deserve the best.
Lynn, do not know what else to suggest. I just minimize, reduce it further and fill up my screen. I do open the browser for eace window. That way they are not connected.
Nope, no desktop way to do it, Suzan.
Eagle at NBG
Cute cartoon, Lynn!
Like the toon, Lynn.
The sales clerk is just real simple. She talks and talks and every other word is "M'am". We did not correct her mis-information. We just got out of there as fast as we could.
Poor Laurel. She has a sick boy. Jacob woke up in the night with an intestinal bug...at both ends. Had to change sheets in the middle of the night. He just sat on the floor by the toilet. She wanted to hold him but he said no. Then he fell asleep sitting on the bathroom floor. Poor baby. He has eaten now and kept it down, but is just lying on the sofa.
Told her to be glad she was home. I bet there is no school tomorrow too. It is way below freezing and no sun at all. Roads are terrible and snow predicted for tonight and tomorrow. Not a lot of snow, thank goodness.
Think I am going to work on pictures now.
I'll be lurking!
Lynn, I posted a pic of my laptop screen on Suzan's Snaps just to give you an idea. I can enlarge at any time without disrupting the other windows.
Thanks, Suzan.....I'll try doing it that way....opening each thing in a seperate browser......
Glad you like the cartoon! LOL, Paula.....good one! Just stuttered on the anouncement!
Okay, finally got it using a seperate browser!!!! Amen!
Wanda, I think that if you go back through my blog I've posted one other eagle cartoon. Just don't remember when!
Yay!!!!!!!!! Lynn.
Cannot believe that after all of that blizzard Tues. at GLo's that she is heading out today to go look at eagles! I think she's an addict!!!
Aw, poor Jacob.
Lynn, I can't log into the comments under the cam from work...the window just disappears again...and trying to login just like I did from home...sigh.
Lynn, the amber alert you posted on FB for Cedric Hardy there is now a comment
that he has been found and is safe.
I called Glo a 'snow bunny' in disguise. Don't know what to call Dex
From FB Do watch this on
Wimp.com
The majestic plastic bag. [VIDEO]
Really sends a message!
Egg at NBG!
Great cartoon, Lynn!
Darth has out done himself this time!!!
Kid went to grocery for "no-carb" food! We do have some, but she's still following S. Beach Diet. I should do the same, but I think I'm old enough to cheat now & then!! LOL
SIL in TX is supposed to fly up to Balmer Friday. Wonder about weather down there. Austin's usually OK.
NBG eagles First Egg!! 2:49 PM today.
Well, scanned backl through and don't find it, Wanda! Guess either I'm wrong and you are right, or maybe I deleted it!!!
Just laid. so exciting!
NBG HAS 1ST EGG!!!!!!
WOW! How eggciting for NBG & guess they had close up on at the time! Beautiful pic. Wish she would stand soon so we can see!
Nice looking egg at NBG. She had an easier time laying this one. Can't wait to see how the rest go. Come on Belle!
Got a pic of NBG eagle & egg---on blog.
Excellent news about Cedric, Jo! Thanks.
Paula, I can't get logged back onto it......not even through Google. Maybe I'll have to make a new ID....????
Little birdie picking around our nest...he just went back under..in the far left corner of the screen
Got a pic of egg roll.
I saw that, and it makes you realize how big that nest really is. That bird looked so tiny.
Yay for NBG!!!
Great photos, Loretta!
Wow, Suzan...you must have a 27" moniter:) Do they disappear when you type?
Awesome, egg roll at NBG. That cam is the greatest, what a beautiful picture.
Can't get NBG up----says cam is unavailable.....too many watchers???
Okay, Mai has been off leash and out of crate for 30 mins. Everything is going well....except she won't stay off the sofa.....do I pick my battles??? Acquiesce on that in order to have her being (so far) a good girl?
Just opened up my fortune cookie from last night. It says "A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts." Hmmmmmmmm.....probably some truth to that!
Eagle alert!! With food?
Yup, there's Belle, mantling.
Eagle in our Nest!!
Oh, it's another squirrel!
Both of them!!
Lib is digging in the nest cup. Any eggs in here yet?
Squirrel is well hidden by Belle.......
Wanda, no. My monitor is 15 1/2 in. Though I am looking at a 17 1/2 inch laptop. Just because mine is almost five years old.
Whoo Hoo! I just watched the video from NBG showing the laying of the egg What a zoom!
Congratulations NBG! As Norma would say - A little Rebel
Took another pic of NBG egg. Want to be in better practice form for another first egg here!
Isn't it funny how we make such a big deal over eagles and osprey laying their eggs......but that chickens do it every single day and nobody pays attention???!!! I'm just sayin'.........
I wasn't sure what it was at first, but then when Belle grabbed it, you could see the long fluffy tail. She is still in the nest, eating away!
Hi everyone. Have been lurking most of the afternoon.
What great news from NBG and a great cam!
While eating lunch a hawk came through and got one of our feeder birds. Jim saw it go by so I got a sweater and went to see if it was in our big tree. It was with the little one in its talons.
When I came in I had to look at my Peterson Field Guide and think it was an immature sharp-shinned. I couldn't see its tail but by its size it had to be a sharpie.
I'm disappointed we don't have an egg today since watching late last night, but surely before the Super Bowl when I won't be watching. Come on Belle, it's time for a touchdown!
Lynn, they're just chickens! Just sayin....
No test results from the lab on Boo today. Call back tomorrow :(
Oh, cool, Diane.
Lolly - hope Jacob recovers quickly and pray it doesn't run the whole way through the family.
Belle down in the bowl, checking out the egg cup
Shazam. NBG closeups are seriously close. Any closer and I'd feel the need to apologize. Haha. Wow and yippeeee for their first egg.
I admire chicken eggs every day at breakfast. Just sayin...:)
Loretta's captures are wonderful, and the video was great.
Belle has finished eating, but I sure don't know where the fur and tail went. Standing over cup now.......maybe a full tummy will make a difference??
The chicken farms (even Eggland's Best) do not take delivery of the male chickens. The chicks are sexed about 12 hours after hatching. The males are all tossed into on giant trashbag, and the female chicks go on to be raised to laying size.
You do not need roosters for the hens to lay eggs. The hens that lay eggs for your table will never see a rooster again , after sexing (when they are just hours old).
Any rooster that is found to have made it through sexing, as the chicks mature, would be killed on the spot. Rosters have no place in commercial chicken farms. They chase the hens and breed with them. That in turn causes a tiny spot to appear on the fertilized eggs (right next to the yoke). Fertilized eggs are rejected by the average consumer, so they don't allow any roosters.
Since hens produce eggs without roosters, the males are all killed on commercial chicken farms. They try to make sure that the males are all gone when the chicks are just hours old.
Just sayin . . .
Ha Ha Hedgie I can stop any time I want to. I have been dry for 6 weeks. :-). Well I had been dry up til about 2 hours ago. There is in fact a rush to eagles here in the winter and I was far form alone when i got there. Most of us will be at camera club tonight as well. Its so good to be home.
Exactly, Megan.....the incredible, edible egg!!! One of my favorite foods---so versatile.
Yes, Lolly, sure hope Jacob feels muchn better by now. Poor kid. Is all the illness they are having this year new, or do they often come down with things?
She wasn't doing any fur plucking, just eating. Don't know where that tail went either!
There she goes..poof!
And poof....off she went.
Just read on FB that Rebecca's mother is safely out of Egypt and in Germany. She is scheduled to fly out of Germany tomorrow.
Shirley - I have so been waiting for word on her mother. Just stated that no more flights...
Paula, hope you soon get some good news about Boo.
Saw I lost out to Glo with the heated bird bath, but ...
Jim want me to check his medication at the pharmacy. bbl
Take a break and read up
on Mason's latest news
Good News from Christine
Yay my diploma came in the mail today! It makes it seem more real. Can't wait to see it! I had to have it mailed to my grandmother since we were in the middle of moving to the states from Germany!
Gee, Donna, thanks for all that chicken info. Doesn't sound very nice.
Glo, glad you got your FIX! Have fun at Camera Club!
No problem getting on the NBG cam
Female is incubating her egg!
Starting to feel feverish. More meds. Warming up dinner and then heading for sofa.
Hi everyone!
Our nest MT. Absolutely stunning closeup of the eagle and nest at NBG. Congratulations to that pair!
Got home about 10 minutes ago. Finished school and therapy (good session w/lots of progress). Very tired and ankle is protesting so need to elevate my foot with some ice. Will catch up later.
Sure hope Lady Belle will deliver soon.
BBL
Missed our birds, but checked NBG & cam is busy!!! ☺
Glo, glad you got out of the cold, but bet it was exciting!
Lynn, Get Well!!!
Oh, relieving news about Rebecca's mom, Shirley. Thanks!
Can imagine how good Christine feels, Jo! What is her degree in?
We get our eggs from a local farm. Haven't eaten commercial raised eggs in over 10 years. They taste so much better, and the chickens are also treated much better.
