Morning Thelma!

JudyEddy said...

funny that you are right she was there waiting for him he didn't show up she went and brought his butt down for us to see it live lol

Sandi said...

Judy, did you get a video? Think about it, we are such voyeurs, sitting here waiting to watch eagles having sex!! =)

JudyEddy said...

poof

Sandi said...

Notice there was no beaking during this visit?

Sandi said...

Pretty sunlight starting to hit the tree trunk, the nest, and Miss Belle!

Kay said...

Now that Nestcapades have begun in earnest I'm offering up this primer on how eagles mate, how fertilization takes place, etc.. This info matches that of the NBG commentors which is repeated over and over again through the season. Seems many people think there is penetration, but NOT !

How Birds Mate

JudyEddy said...

YEP i got a video and I am uploading it right now I had just turned off the camera to start another short one I try to keep about 5-6 min although I got a message from Youtube I cam start doing 15min one now but like to keep short so I am putting it on now I did get it right from the beginning and will let you all know when it is on It is 145 long

DanaMo said...

I love when the sun shines on them like it's on right now. Beautiful Wish I could get up in that nest for a picture of that!!

JudyEddy said...

wow SANDI got WAXED and we didn't evern know it LOL

Kay said...

Good Morning, THELMA ! Glad you made it in time for the action !

JudyEddy said...

BELLE has a after glow LOL

T-Bird said...

Would be nice to be seeing the sunrise right now at the nest, beautiful.

JudyEddy said...

she is letting it work sort of like putting your feet up lol

DanaMo said...

Thanks for the info. Kay. I had just done a search for information myself.

T-Bird said...

I like that Judy.

Sandi said...

Agreed, Thelma! The colors at the nest are beautiful and would be magnificent in person!

JudyEddy said...

Boy was it hard not to YELL HP but I did refrain from it LOL

DanaMo said...

LOL! Judy, the after glow!

JudyEddy said...

How often has HP been seen live like this in the past

JudyEddy said...

I think he just flew on the cam it shook and she looked up

JudyEddy said...

HE IS UP THERE MAKING SURE IT TAKES Now she is starting to move sticks at 6

JudyEddy said...

moving a big stick at 6

JudyEddy said...

they are tangled up and she is having a hard time with it

Lori O. said...

Dang, I missed the HP! A good one?

Kay said...

JUDY, I think HP is seen frequently at all nests where there are cams. When there are wide views available there is even more seen because most eagles have a Lover's Branch, using it more often than the nest.

JudyEddy said...

she is looking around and you can still here him up stairs

magpie said...

Lots of times, Judy ..


Good Morning T-Bird, and also to DanaMo who I missed greeting, earlier

JudyEddy said...

she is having the hardest time with that stick tug tug

JudyEddy said...

yeah she got it loose and now moving it to 9 no 10

JudyEddy said...

now she is putting it to 9

JudyEddy said...

she can't make up her mind where she want that stick

JudyEddy said...

same stick now to 10

Kay said...

I have seen HP here, at NBG, at the Oklahoma nests and at Hornsby Island.

JudyEddy said...

she is pusing it to the edge of the nest

JudyEddy said...

if she doesn't watch it it will fall lol

Kay said...

Yep, LORI, he's gettin' the hang of it !☺

JudyEddy said...

thanks for the feed back on HP LORI I did get it and am downloading now should be done shortly

JudyEddy said...

It is done uploading but now has to finish processing

Sandi said...

Kay, thanks for the info on mating. Speaking of NBG, the eagles there lay their eggs earlier than here, wonder why they don't have the cam turned on for everyone yet. The guy at Blackwater said they're expecting eggs within the next week or two. They're closing off one area as of Monday b/c of an active nest.

JudyEddy said...

The video is done and I put it on Facebook with a copy and paste but not ready for the blog yet it is uploaded and not copy and pasted on it so should be soon

Sandi said...

POOF BELLE

Sandi said...

Off to eat breakfast and get ready for tennis - TTFN!

JudyEddy said...

OK its on the blog also

HP HP HP HP HP

Kay said...

I agree, SANDI. I'm wondering why the NBG cam isn't up yet. Perhaps with a young, new female it will take a little longer. If so, the staff may not be witnessing enough nest prep or HP to feel the time is nigh.

Kay said...

It's been grand dear Early Birds ! I'm off to get the day started here. Time for breakfast, two showers, a few chores and we're due at Seth's home for lunch at noon. HAGD all ! Prayers for LYNN, Tori, Russ and all in need ! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BBL

hedgie said...

Morning all. Liesl woke me at 7:30...I did sleep well!

Catching up with you slowly but surely.

A bit gray here....and only 38°....no 60's forecast--:(

Kay---warning about grilled PB&J---jelly is VERY hot!!!! But yes, fix it the same way as cheese. Just don't go too heavy on the PB&J or it will be oozing out with every bite!

Shirley, have added Russ to my prayers----hoping that it isn't anything serious. Know how worried you must be.

hedgie said...

LOL Sandi---nest watchers have been accused by detractors as being voyeurs because we watch the HP!!!!!

Glad you all saw a successful union!

hedgie said...

Great vid and stills, JudyE.

Have a good lunch, Kay!

Sandi said...

Walked past the computer to see both eagles in the nest! Next thing I knew, Shep was flapping his wings and trying to mount Belle again!! After a few seconds, he stopped. Right now they are beaking and fighting over a stick! Both standing on the rails at about 6.

Sandi said...

Lynn, Happy to hear that you had a good rest!
Lynne2, you mentioned taking a walk at Loch Raven today. Where do you live? We lived in Perry Hall for 30 years before moving to the beach and I was born and raised in the Essex Middle River area.
POOF BELLE.

hedgie said...

Diann, glad to hear a good report from the doc. Nope, none of us need reminding that we are getting older--duh!

Thelma, are you in Ripley or are you home sitting with all the critters?

Sandi said...

Hate to leave with an eagle still in the nest but tennis calls! later!!

hedgie said...

Thanks, Sandi---I missed it again, but see that Shep is still there!
Lynne2 lives in Randallstown.

hedgie said...

And he's back again!

T-Bird said...

I'm sitting with the critters Lynn. How are you feeling this morning? I'm sure you've already told us but I missed it.

T-Bird said...

Justin is keeping me in good company this morning.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning sure is nice to open our eagle cam and see an eagle in the nest.

T-Bird said...

We have had an omelet and are now doing our things on the computer and TV. : )

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Thanks to JUDYE, I got to see the HP between our Royal Pair. Didn't seem as though it was exactly right, but, at least he got the right end:)
Looks like it is GOOD BYE to the beautiful weather we have had the past two days. I wasn't able to get outdoors Friday, but yesterday was a great day to clean the leaves from the back of the house. Don't know what we'd do without a blower. I have a small rake that allows me to get into spaces that need the leaves loosened up so that the blower can do its job. That was easy for me...no stress on my knee...not so for the back:)
Surely I got my daily dose of Vitamin D! Doctor said I was very deficient in 'D' and has me on 50,000 units caps. Have no idea why I would be deficient in any vitamin...I eat well and take a multi-vitamin and calcium with vit. D. Seems you can't get it right all the time!

Must get ready for church...
HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY♥

wvgal_dana said...

How wonderful our lovely eagle pair had HP for all watchers in the nest today!!!!!!!!

Just heard a little call out.

JudyE I'll have to check your blue link out.

hedgie said...

Poof Shep.

hedgie said...

Thelma, glad you have human company!
Not feeling the greatest.....but certainly better than yesterday morning!! Just ate, so maybe that will help!

wvgal_dana said...

Oh Shirley I just went to the other side of the thread. I went to my post. Did not see your post last night about Russ. I was sleepy when reading so I missed it.

Reading on down to see if any more information on Russ. Prayers for Russ and you Shirley, Rebecca, Kathryn and Justin.

paula eagleholic said...

Morning all

Thanks everyone for the emails about Tori

Really pretty here yesterday...heading to my place shortly...dogs have been having a great time...went out for nice dinner last night


Willcatch ya later

magpie said...

Lynn
did you know that Elvis liked grilled PB&J sandwiches?
I tried making them once, it was a mess, but they were good...and I'll have to try again ☺

I think the mating and nesting hormones are really rolling along good at NCTC these days....

Hope today is better than the last, and not as good as the next, and so on like that
Same goes for EVERYONE

ttfn xoxox ♥

hedgie said...

Wanda......I hope that high a dose of D is only for a 6 week period. That's the ONLY recommendation for taking that much.

Hoda said...

SHIRLEY, BEAUTIFUL about the MYSTICAL TREE.

Thanks for the report on the morning nest visit and also the video.

I was exhausted last night LYNN...I slept straight through...I think I am fighting off an infection...many people around me coughing and wheezing...the technicien at the mammogram facility also had a cold and I am sure I got it from there...I had a good and sound sleep. I feel much better.

GOOD MORNING to all...I should have started with that...

someone just landed on the camera casing? I saw a shaking and a tip of a wing?

hedgie said...

Check out this AMAZING breakthrough!!
Burn treatment

I am in shock! WHY isn't this in use EVERYWHERE????????

hedgie said...

Hoda, hope you don't get sick! Echinacea in your tea basket?

I heard that noise, too, but didn't see anything when I looked.

Hoda said...

Prayers for RUSS. Let us know SHIRLEY what you hear... God's Blessings.

LYNN AMAZING about the skin cells gun...I had seen them talk about it on TED and am glad to hear that it is in use even though still experimental.

COME ON OVER

hedgie said...

Late night post from Robyn---I misunderstood about the comment of Tori crying when she heard her dad's voice: he isn't there yet.

"Ok going to get some sleep she is already telling the nurses no by shaking her head lol. I am 1 floor down from tori. On Monday her dad will be here and Tuesday my mom and dad will be arriving... Night"

Glad to hear that Bobbi and Ted are coming up.....locals, we must try to get with them while they are here and treat them to a lunch.

hedgie said...

Robyn also posted this last night:
"I can't say this enough, thank you all for your support, blessings, prayers and all the positive energy you are all sending our way. Tori is strong but recovery will be slow unless Tori decides otherwise..."

DanaMo said...

Adam just came back from camping with the scouts and has a tick on his arm. Thing is it's embedded, but it appears to be dead. You would think I could easily pull it out but it's not coming out. I'm afraid to pull it out and have the head left behind!!
