Perhaps letting the oD chat know that Paddy O Joy is here would head off some of what may happen with names today.Just a thought. I don't even read it enough to have it bother me what they do in there but well it is lib and Belle and now their 2011 first chick. :-) Just a thought.
Glo I gave up on reading that chat. After a lot of us tried exlaining why last season the chicks name was Palmer. Some finally excepted it and others just were plain mean. I don't need that kind of unfriendliness. So I don't even look at that chat.
Good Morning Glo and Dex...when you go for you treat tell them Happy Anniversay even though I think it was yesterday.
Well pretty much time for Dex and I to head for coffee and dog treats. I trust when I get back there will be lots of pictures and videos. I hope there will be a fish too :-).
Agreed, Palmer is special. And we've gotten them to accept that Liberty and Belle are the adult names. Getting everyone to agree on a chick name, good luck with that.
That older chick at NBG just won't let that little one get any food. I'm sure since it hatched it has ate. This time it got no food :( The older one just "pecks it badly". Remember Pecking Pearl???
I expect the folks on the forum consider themselves the primary group for this nest. They do not even know we have our own blog or that we have been here for years, so it is understandable.
Also, anyone who looks at the live cam will see them and not us unless they already know.If there is a new cam next year, what will happen to them?
I say we let them go their own way, buy keep up the good will. The more support we have for this nest the better.
So we have our names for the eagles and they have theirs. They are just establishing their own group.
Just caught another glimpse of the chick, moved a little. I suspect Lib will show up soon. Gotta head out to work though, so much to do in the gh this time of year. I can only watch the still cam from my phone out there, so I'll be back in a while to sneak another peek.
The group that sponsors the nest had names picked out for different dates that the eggs could hatch. They've named the eaglets every year the nest has been here. You can call the eaglets whatever you want, but officially this eaglet is Paddy O'Joy. FYI: If there is a second eaglet this year, history will record it as being called _____.
Friends of Blackwater NWR This morning, we spotted our first osprey on the Osprey Cam platform! He sat in the nest for a while, but we didn't get a good look at his chest coloring, although we think it was a male. Males usually return first from migration.
You know, I don't even think it's been normal for him to not show up in the AM by now. I'm getting worried. HOWEVER, Belle doesn't seem stressed. It's possible we missed a visit or even a switch and switch back in the wee hours or when the cam was paused.
That's Lisa she has always been good about posting. Great the Osprey are on their way. Boy we'll be watching cams like crazy and reporting lol
Since chick hatched this am it had the nourishment from inside the shell. Liberty should be coming to see his chick soon and bring some food or give relief.
Well I think we chose to be respectful of them to give them the option of what those who named Lib and Belle have chosen. They from what I have read in here have respected that. Who knows and unless you bring the info inhere I will never know what they are calling these chicks over there.
Come on Lib we need to see you and Bring a fish. Mama needs a break and some food too.
Wow. Been reading and watching still. Paddy is looking very strong and confident for only a few hours old.
I'm concerned too that we have not seen Lib and the B is probably off fishing or hunting. So many thoughts. Will keep watching and posting as I can from the office.

BBL
Dangit. Gotta go to work. Bbl
Glo--think it is a good idea--however some of morning crew doesn't seem to pleasant
I just posted it over there, Glo...have a feeling most people will be calling the chick some sort of Irish name!
Glo I gave up on reading that chat. After a lot of us tried exlaining why last season the chicks name was Palmer. Some finally excepted it and others just were plain mean. I don't need that kind of unfriendliness. So I don't even look at that chat.
Good Morning Glo and Dex...when you go for you treat tell them Happy Anniversay even though I think it was yesterday.
Same to you Wvgal Dana! Beautiful, blessed morning!
C'mon Belle, we need a peek!!
Well pretty much time for Dex and I to head for coffee and dog treats. I trust when I get back there will be lots of pictures and videos. I hope there will be a fish too :-).
See ya later, Lori!
Will try to get some pics for you Glo have a great morning!

Jenny what years where you in this blog? I'm trying to figure it out.
Good for you Jenny :)
Belle awake and looking around.
Wvgal Dana---2006, 2007 and part of 2008-watched some 2009 but not able to post
couple of yawns and she tucked it back in.
Awake and looking again, and a yawn.
Nasty people on other blog--Wow!!
She's gotta roll that other egg soon! Tucked in again.
O'Joy is here??? Really???? O what wonderful news! Want to see the rascal!!!!
YUP
You have to realize that every group or chat or blog that watches this nest is gonna come up with their own names for the chicks.
Exactly, Megan. So we can just stick with our name here....now, Palmer was different...very special eaglet.
Agreed, Palmer is special. And we've gotten them to accept that Liberty and Belle are the adult names. Getting everyone to agree on a chick name, good luck with that.
There are some groups out there that will respect our choice....the OD is not one of them, it appears.
You are both right--I am just a little defensive of all of you--You have certainly put in the time and effort and lots of love.
Please help me!!!
Look at NBG isn't that a chick laying outside of parent - side away from cam????????
Hi,
Back at work this morning.
I see we have a little one! I hope that we'll soon have a fish to feed mom and baby.
Both parent there now.
So you can't see that chick at this time.
I have gotten 2 pictures. Other chick was under parent peeking out. This other one has been laying on opposite side of parent. Out in plain site.
Like I said can't see now because both parents are there now.
NBG still has two chicks, right? They are both in the nest cup.
Oh so happy parent got up both chicks are ok and being fed. Was just some fuzz color of chicks.
Come on little one turn around and eat!!! At NBG close up.
That older chick at NBG just won't let that little one get any food. I'm sure since it hatched it has ate. This time it got no food :( The older one just "pecks it badly". Remember Pecking Pearl???
Maybe if enough of us, on here, go to the OD chat and mentiion the name that Paula suggested "Paddy O'Joy", they will like it and use it:) I just did!
I expect the folks on the forum consider themselves the primary group for this nest. They do not even know we have our own blog or that we have been here for years, so it is understandable.
Also, anyone who looks at the live cam will see them and not us unless they already know.If there is a new cam next year, what will happen to them?
I say we let them go their own way, buy keep up the good will. The more support we have for this nest the better.
So we have our names for the eagles and they have theirs. They are just establishing their own group.
You have a good idea, Wanda. We can suggest.
There's our chick!
Still no food delivery from Lib???
AWWWWWWWW there she is!!
I seen our chick wiggle couldn't get a picture though parent is too close..Oh it wiggled ( : ( :
Up, fluffinng, wiggles....no view! Come on, Belle. SHARE!
I'll pull one off the video, but chick is still hard to see.
Just caught another glimpse of the chick, moved a little. I suspect Lib will show up soon. Gotta head out to work though, so much to do in the gh this time of year. I can only watch the still cam from my phone out there, so I'll be back in a while to sneak another peek.
Good point Shirley. But I did go over an call it P O J!
Alright people. I'm very concerned that Lib has not been here.
Popping in for a sec.
Tell the other group that ...
The group that sponsors the nest had names picked out for different dates that the eggs could hatch.
They've named the eaglets every year the nest has been here.
You can call the eaglets whatever you want, but officially this eaglet is Paddy O'Joy.
FYI: If there is a second eaglet this year, history will record it as being called _____.
Loaded a pic to Momster and the EM blog.
Gotta go shower!
So I missed a sighting when i went to get papers, huh??
Frankly, I hope t he people on OC don't find US.....just sayin'!
Seems to me that Lib was a little slow in bringing a fish last year. He is not like Lord Baltimore, who brings 5 fish before chick is completely out:)
I'm not getting into a battle over names, life's too short. Keep watching Lib will be here soon. No worries. Later
Lori-I already told them
aloha Megan. You're good for us!
not reading the blog--all are right need the support from others---will stay right here and enjoy all of you!
My live feed seems to be working well, now. Maybe some of our lurkers are going to work.
I put on the blog underneath the cam.
Put on chat underneath cam 8:55am shows 1:54pm March 17, 2011
Happy St. Paddy's Day
We spotted our 1st laid chick at about 7:26am have named it Paddy
O'Joy. Contragulation to Liberty and Belle its parents and the
Eaglet_Momster group that watches ever egg laid and hatch since 2006.
Doesn't mean they will respect chicks name. At least it is there ( :

This morning, we spotted our first osprey on the Osprey Cam platform! He sat in the nest for a while, but we didn't get a good look at his chest coloring, although we think it was a male. Males usually return first from migration.
Thanks Wvgal Dana--I've tried X2 this morning with other blog--we will see what they choose.
trying to remember from past years--is it normal for Liberty to have not been to the nest this morning?
Someone there even claims both have hatched!
Hurray for BW! Didn't Loretta say that they have seen osprey at Patuxent?
Jo and Loretta better wake up for a gander before their appptmts!!!!
You know, I don't even think it's been normal for him to not show up in the AM by now. I'm getting worried. HOWEVER, Belle doesn't seem stressed. It's possible we missed a visit or even a switch and switch back in the wee hours or when the cam was paused.
yes Lynn, Loretta said Ospreys at Pax a few days ago!
That's Lisa she has always been good about posting. Great the Osprey are on their way. Boy we'll be watching cams like crazy and reporting lol

Jenny, I don't remember....but I am finding it a bit disconcerting that he hasn't brough food. Belle has not eaten for a long time.
Thanks -- Didn't know weather i should be worried or not.
Dana, we don't want our name posted over there because of possible spammers and trolls on our blog.
