Could it possibly be LIB?
Thanks Steve and Paula!
Looks like Belle in the nest
It's Belle
Beach house is near Crisfield, MD. I am at the mouth of the Manokin river and the Chesapeake bay...just google rumbley MD
Eagles is back...bbl
I love looking at the nest without resentment. Stay away for a while, Jerk.
TEAM LIBERTY
Morning!
Paula - that's so awesome you saw eagles there this morning! Good for you.
Any news about another chick at Decorah yet?
Yah for Laird!! Welcome Home Mate!
Looks like lots of HP at Loch Garten!! Guess Odin didn't need a day of rest before he got started on his man chores!!
They really are amazing, aren't they?
Good morning! Eagle has just been sitting on the nest the whole time I was catching up on the blog.
I got very excited about the possibility that it might be Lib, but see you thinkj it is Belle. Do not see the lacey affect of Lib's feathers.
POOf!
Make that
POOF LOL
Live cam is back up...for now.
Paula, that is very exciting about your eagles. You will never get your painting finished!
Keep seeing shadows fly over the nest.
Going to read the paper now.
BBL Before leaving for church.
Good sunny morning. First day of Market
Getting ready to pull out of here
I briefly saw our eagle in the nest
I'm not convinced it was Belle -Neck was long like Intruder. I didn't get to see the feathers on the front of the
collar.
Hope to get going - will tell Megan all
said Hello.
Good morning!
Wishing everyone a lovely day.
Yay Laird is back
Don't know how I am going to get my painting done with this eagle flying over the house LOL
It was just hanging there in the wind...hovering on the wind...really cool
I can see their shadow when they fly over
Yah, two chicks at Decorah. They're exposed right now!!
Decorah: The shell is gone, so it must have hatched a while ago, but that little one can't pick its head up at all yet. It's just rolling around in a ball. Do they do that when they first hatch?
I brought this over from old thread. I stayed there because I did not want to loose sight of eagle. Plus I had the live feed and the still cam up. So I have pictures from both live feed and still cam. Still cam had better pictues today.
9:12amEAGLE IN NEST
No black spot on head??
No inverted v underchin feathers are straight across
9:24AM SAME EAGLE STILL SITTING IN NEST AT SAME SPOT 11 ISH
9:31AM EAGLE SITTING IN SAME SPOT STILL CAM PICTURES SHOW NOT BLACK SPOT AND FEATHERS ARE STRAIGHT UNDER CHIN
9:34AM EAGLE GONE
Yes Linda give it a little time and watch and you will see it moving.
wv dana - Thanks! Don't know when that one hatch, or if anyone had videos yet. I didn't see the third egg in that last zoom in, but it could have just been the camera angle. So cute!!
That 1st chick still has a red beak from the rabbit they're feeding it!! Hope it's a girl cuz it looks like lipstick to me!
Hi all: It's been a while and I'm trying to catch up, but am confused. Are we now believing the intruder is a male? And that Lib hasn't been seen in a while?
Diane...that is correct...we have thought so since last week....NCTC is confirming that
So sad.

Yeah for second eaglet at Decorah. Love that cam. Saw eaglet and two eggs yesterday... And the wabbit! Ha
PALynn-Linda Yes 2nd one has hatched. Third egg still needs to hatch. You can go here and look at their two pages. They have of 1st hatch and have written that 2nd egg hatched. Keep a watch on here by click the pages to move up..hit refresh to see if they have added anything. OK
It starts with first hatch
FOR DECORAH 1ST HATCH SCROLL DOWN PAGE TO UNDER GLO'S VIDEO WHERE Chipmunk say's 5:54 just saw #1 bobblehead and keep looking at pictures then go to next page
Really now Out the door Car keys in my hand..........
I have binoculars in case I get to the nest....
Paula - Is the paint dry yet?
Morning everyone. I hope you all had a good night.
Good Morning Eagle Pals
Congratulations Paula !!!
Now those are the nice kinds of Beach neighbors to have: Eagles, and several of them ! The Painting can wait !!!
Good nest reports everyone, I picked a bad time to have to be sleeping !
Trying to follow Jo out the door to get to market! Have camera and binoculars in hand...and some bling bling for the market
Best wishes for a great day, everyone
It is a glorious Spring Day here in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia

wv dana
Thank you on the Decorah info. I have the live cam up now and am watching. Have seen the 2nd chick. It's so cute!
If anyone knows where a Liberty Belle Peony can be found, Lori, it is Megan! She knows Peonies and every other kind of growing thing!
And Lolly is right up there knowing all about that stuff also!
Screen Capture of both eaglets at Decorah nest.
Decorah Eaglets
When I came home (4:30 am)
I checked Decorah - there were 34,000+ viewers watching but Mom was roosting and looking very sleepy !
But I didn't see any eggshells
Hey Margy!! Thanks for noting one of my favorite verses - Isaiah 40:31!! It also mentions our beloved "eagles!"
Leona - I knew you'd get some screen shots!! Great work, girl!
I did notice that part of that second eaglet's shell is still in the nest cup, too at Decorah. Now one more to go!
Good Sunday morning. Great news all around....Decorah 2nd hatch earlier this AM, and the Laird's arrival and immediate HP. Yippee! Know Chrissy is thrilled---Bobbi, too!!! No problem with conjecture there since Y7 is banded (ringed as they say)!
Paula, you are one lucky Momster this morning!!!! Were you able to get any pics??? Hope so---and will look forward to seeing them tomorrow!
Jo and Margy, enjoy Market!
Hope the weather holds off until after it's over....rain in forecast.
Hi Lynn!
I was reading back from where I left off last night and noticed you posted the link on the story. Thanks for doing that, since I haven't mastered that yet.
Your're right about the story being wrong. I immediately told me husband not only did they have the time of hatch wrong, but that wabbit had been there for a couple days!! Reporters ought to get their stories right!!
Another feeding at Decorah, Leona!! Littlest Bobblehead is trying to lift his little head. So cute!
Wish I got more. She was just about done when I seen she was off the eaglets.
Cam has sure been blue and gray for a long time.......wonder what the h---- they are doing??
Darn missed it.
Thre will be plenty more!!
I just love those zoom shots!
With a strong journalistic backgorund, Linda, I get VERY irritated with errors like that!!!
Leona.....I sent the cheat sheet out last weekend on Momster yahoo group mail.....you didn't get it, I guess, because of your messed up inbox and account problems. Are you back on now?? If not, I'll need you to send me your other email address. I am sending out an updated/revised edition today!
I hear you, Lynn!! It got my dander up a bit, too!! Lazy reporting. It's great that they reported it, but get it right!!!
All they had to do was ask us, right??
This group misses NOTHING!! I'm amazed!
PA-Lynn(Linda) Isaiah 40:31
is my very special verse also.
I am glad my daughter knows it and knows it is special to me. For if I pass away she is to use that.
Could someone please post the latest on this nest? Hard for me to watch anything "sad"....Thank you, Christine in Oregon
I see the rabbit feet are still intact at Decorah....wonder how long we'll be looking at them?
If I understood Chrissy's email correctly, Isla and Y7 have had HP 9 times since he arrived this morning! What a guy!! I ASSUME that if Isla is receptive, then she MUST still be fertile......hope so , anyway!
wv dana Isn't it amazing how often the Bible mentions eagles? I think they are one of God's special creatures!
hedgie I e-mail you.
randybad
There are a lot of visits to the nest by Truder and Belle, sometimes together, sometimes alone, but not much more than that. No one knows what is really going on with those two. Liberty hasn't been seen in the nest since Paddy was born, but he has been sighted from the ground. Don't know if he is around in the past couple days, though.
Taking my dog outside. BBL
Our cam is back....but no action in the nest.
Remember a couple of weeks ago when we were discussing the corn husks in the Decorah nest? While watching the video of the 2nd hatch, I saw that there is a video labeled "dueling corn husks" or something like that. Forgot to watch it...will need to see if I can find it again!
Home to click in on new thread BBL short lunch
Randybad......on the page that you click on to get here, the blog owner, Steve, has posted the updates....just scroll down through them and read what he has to say from NCTC's perspective.
Switch at Decorah
My nephew just called me and ask me if I knew about the Decorah Iowa eagle nest lol
He knows I watch the nest. I told him yes and that we are watching it now. He drives a tractor trailer and he has been by the nest there many times. He said it sits right along the road.
Hi,
Was about to say "good morning," but it is not morning anymore. I didn't get to sleep until quite late, so I didn't get up until quite late. But I have been to the grocery store and fixed breakfast.
Wow, Paula, what a sighting! I hope that is an indication of great things to come. A bonus that came with the beach house.
Hunter and Kathryn spotted an eagle near here. It was close to the Po River.
More visits to the nest by our eagles this morning. It would be nice to think Liberty was here, too, but I guess we wait and see.
Maybe I dreamed the corn husk video....can't find it there now anyplace. Duh!
Well back from church and time for household chores.
I don't see that there have been any visits since the ones this morning.
I'll peek between cleaning bathrooms, ironing and doing laundry. Fun day ahead.
DanaMo Our live feed went down for awhile...only had a gray screen. So don't know if any eagles came to the nest then or not.
I've been lurking, reading posts but I still have our eagles in my heart
Dana, guess that's why people have mentionned seeing headlights at Decorah! It's amazing that so many nests ARE built so close to human activity!
Shirley, was reading your comments last night about retiring. I am all for it, gal! You ARE ready....WE'VE known that this entire term!!! One piece of info I can offer is that companies (don't know about state/county entities) do not offer retirement incentives to folks who have already reached or passed normal retirement age! Not fair, BUT....keep in mind that that "bonus" that they give you also counts as income and then you end up having to pay a higher Medicare premium because of it untiol you show a year or two of lowered income. Just something to think about!
Feeding @ Decorah
I think Dad may have brought a fish?
That poor baby can't lift itself up for nothing yet.....
Hey all! Been checking in once in a while...trying to take advantage of this beautiful day and MY LEGS AND KNEES DON'T HURT!!
So cool Paula about the eagles...you'll see plenty down that way for sure!
We have a battle for the BB box out front this morning....a pair of house sparrows is trying to take over. No nest built by they BB yet though...just been staking out the territory. MTBR
Need to run to Walmart and GROSSery store....get back, finish chores and babysit next door at 3:30 for the rest of the evening. So have a good day all, and I'll pop in when I can!
Lynn, there are lots of things for me to look at. I am on Medicare right now, but I might be eligible to go back to the system's health insurance plan for awhile. That comes along with working for a set number of days doing the testing, etc. That is what I have to see.
Every time we have testing, a number of retired staff members come in to help with the extra chores. They are compensated with benefits in some way.
Yes, I know I am ready, and I have paid my dues.
hedgie Have you seen the horses running around below the nest at Decorah. Sometimes the camera operator will zoom in below. It's beautiful.
Just talked to the drama teacher. She is retiring this year. I did not know that she had worked out a deal so that she was only working part time this year. She said she has loved coming in at 11:00 every day and not having any extra duties.
Looks like someone is working on the camera settings again. Maybe.
Lynn...I did get some eagle pics...also have seen our osprey flying and on the nest...painting going good, doing the rolling part now...I hate cutting in
Going out to check mr osprey...have to find out from neighbor if they have names...
Funny thing, Lynn, when my supervisor was talking to me about what observation cycle I will be on next year, I was thinking. "Nope. I won't be around to observe." Didn't say anything, though. It is the first time I have thought that.
I am the only person in my bridge group who is still working. I think they want to play during the day instead of night. I am the only one preventing that.
Someone just said on the Decorah chat that the nest is in an old cottonwood tree near a fish hatchery!! Sounds like a good food source!
TEAM SHIRLEY RETIREMENT!!
We all vote YES!!
As far as I know, they offer all of the retirement incentives to everyone, regardless of age.
Cute, Linda. Thank you.
George, Lucky and the puppy dogs would like to have me around. Hunter would like it, once he gets used to the idea of changing schools. We haven't talked about that yet. But he does have an aunt who teaches at the school he would attend. I suppose she will stay there.
I have had fun thinking that I really do not have to worry about taking all of those classes to renew my certificate. And, occasionally, when I want to say what I really think or whatever, I have thought, "What the heck?"
I'll second that motion: TEAM SHIRLEY RETIREMENT!!!
Just don't commit to anything part-time or helping out until you've taken a nice long break!!! With the Medicare angle, I think that it will be primary and tour insurance through the county will be secondary. Great if you can keep that!
No, Linda, I haven't seen the horses!!! Miseed the fish delivery and feeding....there are currently 116,000+ viewers!!!
Paula, I always hated the cutting part, too. Thankfully, with log homes for the past 25 years, what painting I have to do doesn't involve rolling.....it's all brush work...and tedious, but no big expanses!
That is the cutest little kitten on your avatar, Linda.
Agree, Shirley, that next school year, Hunter should be in a "local" school. Your retirement doesn't mean being a daily chauffer!!!
Lynn - They have some black horses and right now you can see a white horse feeding below. You just don't know that is what it is unless you have watch for a while. It is at about the 11 o'clock position just below the branch. Take a look
Mr osprey must have gone fishing...back to painting
Shirley If I make the trip down for one of the group nest visits, I "shirley" want to be able to meet you!! I hope by then you're done with school either for the summer or FOR GOOD!!
Hunter's now going to the school in the district where he was living before; his dad is still living there, so he's okay.
His sitter is still there as well, so it has worked for this year. He has only one more year of elementary school, but it won't hurt for him to get acquainted with kids he'll go to middle school with. I know he has friends all over because of his sports teams, etc.
Decorah - feeding again.
Based on where she is feeding from, I think she is feeding from a fish in the nest on the right side. The wabbit was on the left side.
I am truly amazed at how they change from hour to hour in these first days! Littlest bobblehead is really trying to get his head. He is close! Maybe next feeding he will get some.....
Last year's nest visit was on graduation day for my school. I don't know about this year. I will deal with that when it happens.
I enjoy the graduation day, but I will just see. I have done lots of them. We are expected to attend because we march in the procession.
I would love to meet you, too, Linda.
It has been good to connect with things I can get involved with when I do take the big step into retirement. I will be doing things for my family, but I have plenty of things that I do just for myself.
BBL. I do have some things to do.

We're enjoying a weather roller coaster here in So Cal this week. After being near 80°, we are dipping under the cloud cover and experiencing the little over 60° weather found there.
Any different happenings on the nest this A.M.?
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Hi Jim, there have been eagles at the nest, but I am not keeping up too well this morning.
can someone please send me the link that you use to the Decorah cam. Thanks!
Geula
Decorah Eagle Cam
Decorah
I think this is it, Geula.
Home from church and checking everything. Need to eat a bite and then....head outdoors, of course!
Well, it looks like it should be a sure thing. We have all voted and now Shirley, you have to retire. LOL
I hope it will work out, Lolly. Working another year would be difficult after I've reached this point.
I know our department will look quite different next year. I am not the only one who is thinking of leaving.
But that is fine.
Lots of people looking for jobs.
I googled Decorah eagle webcam and decided on the first one on the list and as luck would have it....the google ads are sort of below the cam pic and not becide it. The cam operater has itchy fingers and zoomed in on FEATHERS! Beautiful eagle and cute bobbleheads!
You can find Decorah on Beakspeak, too, Geula.
Geula, did you see the links we posted for you?
Good afternoon.
Phoebe's twins are just about ready to head off into the big world. Wingersizing.
Congratulations to the Dacorah eagles. Two born and one to wait for.
Congratulations also to Isla and her Laird. Will hope for another successful season for them without Isla having a near-death experience.
Shirley, you really have earned some time to yourself. You will sort it all out and make the best decision for you.
I have to tell you I am thinking this might be my last semester. If not, it will surely be next Fall. My real problem is trying to think what I might do with all the time.
Hi to everyone else.
Looks like Phoebe's chicks are about ready to fledge anytime...don't see any fluff hanging off them, and that's another sign they are ready.
I just missed seeing WE adult off the nest enough to see contents, so I'll have to read the blog. It does look as though the adult is mantling or shading right now, which might be significant.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
I went through that, too, Judie, but I think I will have plenty to do with the time.
Right now, I do not have enough time to do everything I want to do.
Decorah mom off the babies. So cute.
They are chirping.
Feeding.
Both osprey nests in Scotland are occupied. Isla and her 7Y and one at Lock Garten waiting.
Yes, I think the hummingbirds will be gone in another day or three. Read where Phoebe tried twice to push them out earlier today.
Shirley, you are fortunate in the sense that you have Hunter and the critters. Me, I have FoodNetwork.
Anyway, going back to read for next week.
Thank you, Lynn for the updated cheat sheet.
Food Network might be fun.
You have Darth. He is a gem.
I have a mortgage, too. Do not want to wait 15 years to retire, though.
Odin joined EJ on the Loch of the Lowes nest just now.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Neither Osprey is on the Loch Garten nest though.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Haven't been watching the hummingbirds, but just checked them out. They aren't exactly both in the nest. One is hanging onto the edge. I just saw a feeding. Watching eagles and hummingbirds is really watching two extremes.
BBL.
OMGosh those Decorah eaglets are so cute. Just a bunch of fuzz!
I'll see you guys later. I'd better get some stuff done.around here.
Have a great day.

Mid-day family lunch from Decorah.
Mid-day Lunch
Hello - I am home from spending some
time at Market with Megan, Visited with Aaron and Valerie and had lunch
at the Blue Moon. Margy surprised me
as she came to the Blue Moon to chat and then left. Before coming home I
did go out to view the Sycamore Palace
from the roadside and they twern't a
bird in the air or tree. That was 2-2:30.I got some beautiful fresh yellow daffodils from our Floralgirl.
Jim, you got your nests mixed up....Loch of Lowe's is Isla and Y7; Loch Garten is EJ and Odin!!!
Weather here is deteriorating.....temp 53, down from 55; clouds have rolled in....
Shirley and Judie, once you retire you will wonder how you ever had time to work!!!!!
Wonder how Megan made out at market? And if Jo and Margy found any nice things to buy??
Good afternoon everybody ! I've been away since Friday morning, enjoying a wonderful weekend of family fun. I think my daughter, Eileen, is well pleased with the way her "Double Nickel" birthday was celebrated.
The group disbanded at 1pm and I've spent most of the time since catching up with news and nestcapades. I skimmed a lot, looking for bold print and special hightlights. Can't believe how much time Belle and Truder have spent on the nest the last two days. Is there some question as to "who" the most recent visitor was this afternoon ?
No doubt I missed some prayer requests, but will just ask the Good Lord to bless all with special needs. Hoping to hear a lot of aches and pains have been alleviated.
Got a huge laugh out of all the Fish Sticks talk ! Funny !
I also spent a lot of time today trying to download the Momster Cheat Sheet so kindly sent by Lynn. Haven't found the right program to download with, but will keep at it.
Scott has put some lovely pics on FB.....definitely a sycamore tree! But no ID so not 100% sure it's ours.
Scott's pics
Decorah...that is really neat about the horses...happy to hear about chick 2 ...
Saw mrs osprey on the nest down here...and some oyster cathcers I think...
Done painting and going to get things cleaned up and head home soon
Oh and saw an adult eagle :)
Paula, you have picked the perfect spot.
Scott was going to the nest today
Jo sounds like a nice day in Stown
Hmmmm. Darth is a gem but 24/7 is waaaaay too much togetherness. We went through that from Nov-Feb.
Been working on child molesters today. Hate doing that topic.
Taco salad tonight.
Jo, glad you saw Megan and Margie and thanks for stopping by the nest. Sorry no one was home. Bet those daffodils are gorgeous.
Kay, glad you had such a nice time with your family celebrating your daughter's birthday.
It's okay, Jim. I couldn't remember EJ and Odin.
Paula, glad the paining is finished. Hope you can put your feet up when you get home.
Wow, really very nice pictures from Scott. Many thanks!
Scott answered you Lynn,---found a nest literally 10 min from our house that apparently has eggs or newborns right now. Managed to get a great spot as you can see. Since this was a guarantee sighting I went here, didn't know if I'd be able to see Belle if I went up there.
I understand that part, Judie. No disrespect to Darth.
I just want to make sure I can swing things financially. It is kind of funny what some people say.
When I commented that I wasn't going to be able to take care of everything by April 1, which was the date they were saying we needed to in order to make sure we get our first retirement check on July 1st, one lady said that maybe I can save enough to survive July without the check.
I will still be getting salary then, and things aren't that tight. I would not think of retiring in that case. I am looking at the long haul.
I've been out all morning and early afternoon. Time for Feet Up.
BBILW
I want to be able to hang out at the Clarion at least once a year and a few things like that. No world tours planned. Just a few little things.
Weirdness on Friday: Kids were gathering in the hallway near my classroom.
Excitement like there was something major happening, maybe a fight, but there was no fight. Nothing. But something was in the air. I called the receptionist and asked for security and administration based on that feeling.
Turns out it was a diversion to cover a fight elsewhere in the building. I said, "Oh, gosh, and I sent everyone to the area of the diversion," but the receptionist said that I'd alerted them that something was amiss, and that was good. Yeah. That's all I could do.
Really wicked girl fight with injuries.
They had turned security cameras so no one could see what was going on. That took some planning. Premeditated for sure.
What a way to end the week.
I would not want to deal with child molesters, either, Judie.
I have enough stress dealing with children.
Scott's pics are NOT our nest. He found this location 10 mins. from his home!!!! Awesome!
I hope Paula was painting rather than paining. But I don't know for sure.
Gotta check those pictures of Scott's.
OH MY!! First hatch eaglet at Decorah out of the nest cup!! It latched onto mom with beak and mom shook her head and little bobblehead nearly went over the edge! Can he get back in the cup? Anyone know???
OMG Shirley! So glad I taught kinder. Can not deal with fights! Just can handle discipline for calling someone the s word. (Stupid!) LOL
We went to Lowes and then to Walley World. Bought my fern hanging baskets and now going out to do some more work.
Jo, so jealous of your day...going to Market, out to eat and Margy drops by, and then to the nest. Sounds like an awesome day!
Paula has had an awesome weekend. I really need to move...to where I can see eagles!!! LOL
Great pictures, Scott. Thanks for sharing.
Oh I see what you mean the baby is off the the side OH NO HELP someone
the mom or dad doesn't seem to notice it seems
Um, sorry Paula. I know you were painting. A Freudian slip > paining. Hope you have any serious paining tonight.
Judie Judie Judie! Hon, you have a problem if you can not think of what to do with your time if you retire. Come here! I will put you to work! LOL I have a book to read, a house to clean, slides to scan, pictures to print, and here I am outside digging in the dirt. Not enough time in the day!! Jack and I retired the same year 2000. I retired end of the school year, I was a young 56. I have not regretted one second! Now, I loved teaching, but I was so tired and did nothing else. There is more in this world to do! Could have a lot more money if I had not retired, but I have been so happy. And, Jubby and I get along just great! Wahoo!
looks like the eaglet might try to get to the egg cup Lets hope so
Thanks so much everyone, I am very happy with these photos. I literally found out about this nest, about 10 min from my house, late Friday afternoon. Luckily, my cousin owned land very near and I was about to get across the river from them, which was the closest spot I could get and still be far enough away to not intrude on them. It was amazing, and from watching the female she probably has a couple little ones in there.
If someone didn't see the link, it is http://raptors.VAPhoto.com
The photos from this morning are numbers 44-the end...
FuzzleMa do you think they will put it back in They see not to notice Switch just happened one in and one out
I think the Decorah mom has her hands full with those two and the third is not even here yet!
I did not even see the fight, Lolly. But one of my students from 3rd Block was involved. I guess I won't see her for awhile.
She was supposed to be in in-school-suspension, not out fighting somewhere.
I had not really had any problems with her except poor attendance and poor grades.
Students were really wound up at the end of the day. I called a bunch of parents.
One lady chided me by saying I should call before her son's grade was a D+. They get grade reports every three weeks and have access to our gradebooks whenever they want to see them. I think she just wanted to turn the tables and put the blame on me. Same thing her son does. Geesh.
She also said that her son was upset that he was the only one who was getting in trouble and getting parent calls. Didn't want me to explain that he wasn't the only one.
Yeah, I am tired of this stuff.
Kay, glad your weekend was such fun!! Gave you a nice break, I'm sure!
Judie....ditto what Shirley said about Darth!!! Too much togetherness sometimes isn't healthy!
Child molesters.....yuck. Horrible topic to have to address, but it certainly needs to be.
Paula, be careful driving home.....no eyes to the skies!
No, Shirley.....in retirement you need to swing TWO Clarion visits per year!
Awesome pictures Scott I clicked on Like on your face book page so I can see updates on my newsfeed Has anyone seen the baby out of the egg cup on the Decorah nest poor thing can't get back in and parents see oblivious to it
Okay...I am outta here! Watch that little eaglet for me!
I don't know how they can really. Mom looked at the eaglet when it happened so she knows and when dad cam in he went over to the eaglet and looked at mom as if to say, "what did you do?" and then covered the egg and hatch #2. Somehow I guess the eaglet has to get over the nest cup side!! He keeps trying!
Looks like one of the Decorah eaglets is an independent free spirit, but that little fellow better get back under Mom or he won't make it, right?
Is there any way Mom can scoop him back in the nest cup? I'm afraid he'll roll off the nest. HELP!
Yeah, I got the impression that I was in the wrong for calling and for not calling. Sometimes you just bite your tongue.
Gotta check on the Decorah baby.
His bobbly little head He keeps stretching up-- I think I can I think I can he keeps saying LOL
Looked like mom tried to scoop him up.
He is pretty far from the edge of the nest. Mom is certainly restless.
All kinds of chirping going on there.
ow the eaglet is going the other way. Please turn around little one....
Just turned back toward Mom/Dad, but the adult eagle can't settle down for nothing. I bet the Mom/Dad has done a full 360 4 times in the last 8-10 minutes.
Little Bobblehead is making his way back a little closer now.
Now turned the wrong way, now back towards adult.
Caught up on posts...
Shirley, I am in your corner too, the teaching world and the students will experience a loss when you leave, but the rest of the world including yours will experience a Great Gain !
Best wishes on how it all develops...in your favor, I mean
xox Hello Eagle Pals !
It's scary how a little mound of grass can seperate them. I wish she'd just scoop the little one into the cup and be done with it.
I'm kinda hoping to see some of the pictures from the nest visit this morning...
Just to repeat, you all made great notes !
He's a pretty fragile little thing, though.
Yeah, Shirley, that is what worries me. We don't need any more drama. He launches up and falls over the wrong way, he could get caught in those sticks.
He has lots to say.
so close but yet so far I"m so sad I hope he can get in I don't know if I can take another nest drama
Hope you all recently heard me to say "Welcome to My World"....of the Still Cam...it is a wonderful mainstay, when it is working, as it usually is ! ☺
I hear it telling the dinosaur and me: I will not leave you in times of (live cam) troubles ☺
YEAH SHE OR HE GOT IT
Hurray for Mom!!! She scooped him up and he's back in the nest cup!!!
Praise God!!
Yay, adult pulled him in.
Yes, Margy. We appreciate the still cam now. The other one is a mess.
Market was fabulous, and Megan looks great ! Delivered the Momsters Love and Hugs
got me some Claremont Lettuce, Burpeanna Early Peas (to eat) and Old Spice Sweet Peas...to look at and enjoy the fragrance of....
and two bunches of Bee-You-Tee-Ful Daffodils !
Whew, I was starting to get emotional here. Hope that little one learned his lesson!!
Heading home , see ya'll later tonight
Safe Travels, Paula.....
"S-word"="stupid." Ah the world of kindergarteners. Yes, that has a different meaning in high school.
And then as Jo mentioned, I had a "hot tip" that she and Aaron and Valerie were at the Blue Moon, so we had a nice short little visit.
I went out and had a roadside visit to the nest, saw no soaring eagles, but did see one Soaring Red-Tailed Hawk, and some turkey vultures, and heard some great chirping birds ♫ ♪
I'm sure she grounded him or Time Out HA LOL
Might be right chilly in Iowa. Poor little guy might be cold.
sorry I am not watching Decorah, I am here Magpie-ing...but it sounds like a happy rescue/retrieval there
Also I went to the Yankaur Wildlife Center took the Kingfisher trail to the River...
saw some great wildflowers, including baby baby Dutchman's Breeches, Spring Beauty, and one I have been waiting to find for several years:
BloodRoot!
Okay, enough of this, by the time I get old pictures offloaded and new ones on it will be summertime
Best wishes for a great evening...
will catch up and be sociable later on
xoxo
Jo
It was a treat to see You!
I was at the nest probably 1:30 - 1:50
ttfn xo
Two Clarion visits a year sounds wonderful, Lynn.
Glad you had such a great day outdoors Margy!! It does a body good, doesn't it?
Yes PA-Lynn, it does, had my walking stick with me, and had the whole place to myself at the YANKAUER preserve (I spelled it wrong on my post)
Me, and some chirpy birds...
okay, bath time here, back later xoxo
Having that chick out of the nest cup was definitely why Mom was so unsettled earlier. Once she got that chick back in the nest, she settled right down and hasn't moved!!
So neat..............
I see shadows approaching at the Decorah nest. It will surely get cooler there when the sun's lower. Glad that little guy is now back in the warmth and safety of the cup.
Glad I missed that Decorah drama....I would have been crying, too.
I was busy rooting for my guy to win the race....he lost the lead with 3 laps to go....finished 2nd...:(
Dinner over.....now to clean up the mess.
Glad the S'twn visitors had a great day....too bad no one saw any eagles.
Shirley, sorry about that fight situation, too. As for that parent----the nut doesn't fall far from the tree, obviously.
It is raining here. Guess it's time to say April showers bring May flowers, huh?
Forgot to comment earlier---Lynne, glad you knees/legs feel GOOD!!!!
Decorah - Now they're eating again. Hope that wanderer stays in the cup!!
Maybe she should dig that cup a little deeper and wider so they don't crawl out just yet.
Feeding at Decorah now. Lots of chirping.
They're really chirping!! So cute.
I've watch them feed the eaglets at NBG, but never had the sound. This is awesome for me. It's my first year watching all of this? ☺☺☺
Of course, I wish I were watching this in Shepherdstown :(
Something is causing the Decorah adult to cry out.
It is warm there, now--70 degrees.
Could it be the other adult is above them in the tree, or do you think something else?
