That is Liberty.

BEagle said...

Back on the nest and gave a waggle of the wings.

Lynne2 said...

and back on the eggs

Lynne2 said...

this looks like the same adult to me....

BEagle said...

♫Wiggle down, waggle down...wiggle wiggle wiggle♫

: D

PA Nana said...

Now don't anyone have a cardiac arrest - good morning!

I'm usually a night owl, but something woke me up this morning -it's a male in the house - and I couldn't get back to sleep.

Been checking all the cams, even the Finland ones, and watching the videos of the bears. Those cubs are so cute!

Will be keeping our cam up for the egg break. Is it this weekend or next? This early hour my brain doesn't work well.

glo said...

LOL Yep its workin. I do Love Lucy. too funny.

Lynne2 said...

This weekend or Monday Diann! Hope you are feeling better this morning.

BEagle said...

The OC chat is saying this is day 35 and likely to see hatching on day 37 or 38.

: )

BEagle said...

Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday.

Lynne2 said...

It'll be Monday while I'm at work and can't watch :(

Mema Jo said...

Good Good Morning - Thankful for all your comments - I think you covered all the topics that needed to be discussed.
I am watching our nest & NBG nest.
Blackwater is having their Eagle Festival today. Sometimes the get rained out but not today - Perfect weather for them.

Lolly said...

Good morning! Hi Lynne! Good to see you on here today!

Enjoyed the talk on bluebirds. Jack built me a bluebird house a week ago and put it up out front. We get bluebirds here but not a lot, so whether or not we get any is a big question. We have lots of bird houses Jack has built to specifications but do not get birds nesting in them. Oh well!

Presently 62 and going up. Heading to a nursery for my first run of the year. Uh oh! ☺

Mema Jo said...

By the end of next week both of our eggs should have hatched.

BEagle said...

I am remembering last year when Palmer hatched!

I never ever thought I would see an eagle jump for joy, but that is exactly what Belle did!

I will never forget that.

Lolly said...

Definitely have sound this weekend, I hear the wind!!

PA Nana said...

Lynne, not feeling too bad this am but the fever starts in the afternoon until evening. I hate those chills.

Glad you're better. You sure had a round of it.

You too Glo and Lynn and Margy. Did I forget someone? If so, I'm going to use Glo's comment, "He knows."

Prayers for Japan and all the disaster relief workers. My niece spent a year studying in Japan in 2009-10 and she loved the country and made lots of friends.

Guess I'll go find something to eat.....

... later

Lynne2 said...

Maybe because of the RS Hawks Lolly?

Jo, sure wish I was at the Eagle Fest today!

BEagle said...

That's funny Lynne2. I am very glad I can pull up the still cam at work.

BBLTTFS

Lolly said...

NBG eagle looking down. LOL Looks like she is thinking "What the heck is going on down there?"

BEagle said...

Ooooo. NBG is getting up. Now it's my turn to see her reach down in and pick up a white thing and eat it!!!!

WOW.

Lynne2 said...

egg roll at NBG. Saw one egg for sure but looked like 2 were rolled.

BEagle said...

I saw an egg under BNG but didn't see a chick.

Mema Jo said...

I'll put you all on hold so I can get my breakfast - BEagle this morning I'll have an inorganic nanna also.

Lynne2 said...

I didn't see her eat a white thing??!!

I'm sure if I asked I could bring the cam up on the computer from time to time to check. Shouldn't be a problem....but it's on another desk, not mine. So I couldn't actually WATCH for any length of time.

BEagle said...

She's got at least one chick under there for sure.

paula eagleholic said...

BEagle I'm not sure if that was a piece of shell or a feather

Lolly said...

Well, Lynne, we have lots of nests around...on window sill, in flower pots, in the roses and in the trees....just not in the bird houses.

BEagle said...

Yes, at first I thought it was a feather but she swallowed it.

They have already seen this happen according to the chat on the NBG but this was before my very eyes.

Could it be a quick succession of two hatches?

BEagle said...

Or maybe still leftover egg shell from the first.

Lolly said...

You really see the lack of color on our cam as you switch from NBG to our cam. Wonder why? The quality of the cam?

BEagle said...

Oh. Hi Paula. I just wouldn't think the eagles would swallow their feathers.

That's what it looked like was a feather.

Lynne2 said...

Lolly, that's too funny! Silly birds!

Lolly said...

Do you think there is a chick at NBG? There has not been a fish delivery yet.

paula eagleholic said...

Lolly, I think the color issue has to due with the computer that captures the video and sends it to Outdoor.

BEagle said...

I think our cam will green up a little more. Don't you?

Lynne2 said...

I think, and JMHO, that there is NOT a chick yet, or at least all the way hatched out because no food has been brought in to the nest yet. But maybe a partially hatched chick? I know it can take a long time in some cases for the hatch to be complete so maybe she ate just a piece of shell?

BEagle said...

The bird houses are there for them though. I think the birds appreciate the thought.

Oh there I go. Humanizing the birds!
Oh well.

paula eagleholic said...

BEagle, I wasn't sure if she swallowed it or tossed it.

paula eagleholic said...

It will green up...

BEagle said...

You are probably right. Well, I am sure you are right Lynne2.

Food is a sure sign of a new eagle.

BEagle said...

I do have new glasses. :D

BEagle said...

Maybe she moved food from her crop down and it looked like she swallowed it.

BEagle said...

BBL&INK

Lynne2 said...

OK time to leave and do something productive.....

Lynne2 said...

another egg roll at NBG.

Lolly said...

Okay, what did we see? An eaglet or an egg?

Lynne2 said...

dad back at nest to take over....

Lolly said...

They certainly zoomed in close. LOL

Lynne2 said...

no eaglet seen. They got a good close up and all I could see was maybe one egg and some white feathers in the cup.

Lynne2 said...

dad up again, another closeup, nothing revealed

BEagle said...

Up again and rolled one egg, the one you can see.

Judie said...

Good late morning, everyone. Slept late, coffee, and newspaper. I love Spring break!

Margy, have a good day at work and sure hope your other niece has good news from Japan.

Lori, sounds as if Kate is making good progress. May she continue to improve.

Hornsby had both adults there this a.m. Looked like female was testing the egg cup.

NBG looks very pretty this morning. Hope they have a hatch during the warmer weather.

Our nest -- saw two eggs all alone then adult returned. I'm thinking mid-week for our nest.

Shirley, can never understand why students take such a risk -- lower GPA, on the transcript forever, kicked out of school, not the least is loss of respect from others. So really stupid.

Diann, wishing you some relief today. Feel better, please.

Lolly, happy flower shopping.

Okay, off to check the cams again then try to get some work done. BBL

BEagle said...

I like the ads about the little remote vacuum. Didn't we dream of that when the Jetsons came on several years ago?

BEagle said...

Lib and a wiggle down.

BEagle said...

Two eagles at White Rock.

BEagle said...

Two eagles on the Hornby.

Lolly said...

I really need to leave this wonderful company and eat a bite of breakfast.

I am crazy! Celebrated loosing weight by eating out and putting it back on. Oh well! Back to the diet!

BBL

Mema Jo said...

Even though I have been watching for years, I still can learn from NBG moderators! Love their discussion board.

wvgal_dana said...

NBG might have a hatch starting today. It will take awhile for the chick to fully come out. If it is happening.

I have to start getting ready. Heading to Hagerstown to meet up with Aunt Janie. That is my daughters Aunt....we are sill very close.

wvgal_dana said...

On my daughters biological Dad's side.

Mema Jo said...

Something is really distracting the NBG eagle on the nest.......

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...

On the subject of BLUEBIRDS: They like their houses placed in an open area, away from woods, shrubs, etc. Not close to a building or house. That is what they prefer, but, there is always the exception to the rule.

movin said...



sssssssssssssssssssss

GooD MorniNG,

eVeryBodY.

sssssssssssssssssssss

I haven't seen them yet, but apparently both of Phoebe's eggs hatched this morning.

C(°Ù¿°)D Jim

BEagle said...

Egg Roll!

BEagle said...

I think Lib is listening to something!

paula eagleholic said...

Egg roll our nest...no peeking, lol

BEagle said...

Wiggle Waggle

paula eagleholic said...

He was a diggin :)

Mema Jo said...

I see lots of 'green' on our still cam

I think I better just wait for NBG to
announce their first eaglett... I can't really afford to sit all day today.

PA Nana said...

Just got knocked off NBG and can't get back on.

Just read some bad news on comcast face page that a nuclear plant hit be the earthquake could, or is, leaking radiation. They are worried about a core meltdown.
Sure hope they can cool that core!

I remember TMI. Really scary!!!
We were almost evacuated.

Mema Jo said...

Diann, I know what you mean about TMI
Japan has a number of nuclear plants.

Wind is really loud on the speaker at our nest.

Mema Jo said...

Going to take a break since it is almost the noon hour and I need my
street clothes on.........

BBILW

hedgie said...

Took a nap.....feel a bit better now. See that nothing has happened---except that the smudge is worse again----wonder what it could be??

Glo, glad you are chilling and feeling a bit better.

hedgie said...

NBG is making me woozy!! Wind is hard here, too, but I don't think our tree sways as badly as the pine does!

paula eagleholic said...

Lynn, I have seen the blur in the very bottom left corner of our cam...might be a touch of condensation?

hedgie said...

They just zoomed NBG. Swaying not as noticeable.

hedgie said...

Judie and Shirley, so sorry about the plagiarism you have to deal with......do you find that it is worse now than it was years ago?

Question for your bird boxers---I have an ornamental house on a post----rather small entranceway on it. But I saw two chickadees showing much interest in it...they acted like they wanted to go in, but there's an old wasp nest in there. Do you think they were looking for a place to build----or looking for larva (way too early for that!)?????

movin said...

NBG just did an egg roll and set back down deep in the bowl again. I don't believe an egg has hatched yet.

C(°Ù¿°)D Jim

Mema Jo said...

NBG - don't think we'll know of a hatch until we see an egg shell.
They have zoomed every which way and still can't get a good look down into that egg well.

Lynne2 said...

OK, I have ZERO motivation to do anything productive today, and so much to do!

Lynn, bet the chickadees were looking for a nest spot! They are cavity nesters, and I just looked up the nesting season which begins in April. I had a pair this morning showing some interest in the BB house out front, but the BB didn't allow them to hang around long!

Lynne2 said...

If you can get the old wasp nest out of the house, that would help, however, if they want it badly enough, they'll clean it out themselves.

Lynne2 said...

to those with Butterfly Bushes....

this weekend through the upcoming week is the best time to cut them back. You can prune them all the way back to 6". Trust me, it will grow back!

PA Nana said...

I'm finding it difficult to leave but the day is getting away from me.

God bless.

Mema Jo said...

Falcon Nest PA - still just 1 beautiful egg

BEagle said...

Just checked on Phoebe. Haven't caught her off the nest yet.

BEagle said...

I haven't seen an adult on the BWE nest today. Just the three pretty chickies.

BEagle said...

Is that the falcon egg up at the front of the nest box? Kind of red?

BEagle said...

BBS.

Mema Jo said...

Yes BEagle - the falcon egg is a very pretty pinkish color

BEagle said...

TY Jo.

It makes me nervous to watch Phoebe.
Wonder why!

Mema Jo said...

Eagles 4 kids: No eagles around but
nest is in perfect shape - even can see the egg cup.

Mema Jo said...

Need to take a break..

Lolly said...

Back from buying plants, now to get busy but had to check on NBG first.

Bought a couple of red geraniums, some Italian parsley and some fennel. The fennel is for our butterflies and caterpillars.☺ Also, bought grass plugs so need to get with it! Now 72!

BBL

hedgie said...

Okay, Lynne. TY---I'll clean out the wasp nest.
What about Lilac bush??? Should it be trimmed back, too?

Lynne2 said...

Lilacs should be pruned right after the blossoms die off, or even right before when they start looking ugly. Don't prune now or it won't bloom this spring!

Mema Jo said...

Both in nest at NBG with a live flopping fish.........

BEagle said...

I see the fish! Not flapping anymore.

hedgie said...

Big wushi in NBG!!!

Lynne2 said...

WOO HOO dinner for the new baby at NBG I think!

BEagle said...

NGB looks to be questioning what is going on. She's up.

BEagle said...

Cannot see anything yet

BEagle said...

Dagnabbit.

Nut puckey

BEagle said...

Excuse me, I lost it.

BEagle said...

The NGB eagle got up just enough to check underneath a little, then plopped back down!

I didn't see anything but an egg!

Oh and then she just yawned.

WAIT she is checking again!!!!!

BEagle said...

OH OH OH OH

BEagle said...

OH pooter.

BEagle said...

BBL

BEagle said...

I see little feetsies at the BWE

paula eagleholic said...

Finally got back on NBG...wushi is a good sign!

hedgie said...

Thanks, Lynne. I had to cut off broken limbs after the blizzard last year (which I think Megan said to do), so never did anything else to it the rest of the year. It didn't bloom... :(

Lori O. said...

Guessing that's Lib.

Wiggle Wiggle.

paula eagleholic said...

Up for an egg roll...some stretches, fluff rearranging, and finally wiggle wiggle...oops, move just a tad, wiggle wiggle.

Lori O. said...

Think I was wrong now.

Anyway, adult back on eggs and comfy.

paula eagleholic said...

Already a fly on the fish at NBG...Momma snapped at it :)

paula eagleholic said...

I think that's Lib, too.

Lori O. said...

Good sunny afternoon, BEagle, Paula, Lynn . . .

Lori O. said...

I'll have to pop up the NBG cam is they had a chick! How exciting.

How many HOURS until we have one with Belle and Lib?

It's getting so close.

Lori O. said...

That must be one HUGE fish in the NBG nest. Nearly as big as the adult eagle. :)

hedgie said...

Phoebe hummer has a hatch!!!

hedgie said...

She is off the nest at the moment!

Lolly said...

Ahhh! Wushi! That is a good sign. Now if only we could see an eaglet!!!

BEagle said...

Awwwwww. I see Phoebe's two little chicks.

hedgie said...

Phoebe just fed the little ones!

BEagle said...

Hi there Lori.
Thanks for the morning posts.

BEagle said...

NBG eagle was up. Did anyone see a chick?

Judie said...

New thread -- y'all come on over!
