such a pretty day today
OH that was a split and I didn't realize it and it didn't hurt a bit LOL
22° at the nest and I still see some snow coming down
Good morning! I am getting cold just looking at the nest and listening to the wind! Hate seeing the snow on the back of the eagle.
57 here and heading up. Going to be a week of sunshine and 60's and 70's! Sorry!
Visit to the local vampire when I finish my coffee. Friday my yearly physical. But, I am. Thinking work in the yard today!
I was really hoping for a third egg, still possible but a bit doubtful! I am thinking!
Have a great day! Stay warm and safe!
wasn't going to brag on my temps but since LOLLY has started it MINE IS 66° and the high will be in the 70's today Gone are the cold days I can only hope the other days it as 38° hard to believe 40° swing in a day or so
Good morning Judie and Kay. Looks like second round of snow is starting. I can see snow at the nest now.
Good morning Judy and Lolly. Glad you all have warm weather now. Still pretty chilly here.
Hi all. Just got back from the vet with Janey. She has had hookworms ever since we got her and I have to have a "specimen" checked every 2 weeks or so. She has had 5 or 6 rounds of worming medicine and I'm really hoping the worms are history now. Also wanted to get her weight checked to make sure she's not gaining or losing any weight.
The main roads are OK but the side roads around here are snow-covered and slippery. Got to use the 4-wheel drive in my Jeep. It's still snowing but the temps are right around freezing and headed into the 40s. By tomorrow we'll be in the 50s with rain.
The snow seems to be picking up at the nest.
Lolly, we could certainly still get a 3rd egg. Just last year Belle laid the first and second eggs at 3 days apart but then it was 4 days between eggs 2 and 3. If you recall, there was a really big size difference between the last chick and the first 2 that hatched a day apart. We shall see - only Belle knows what will happen.
OK, off to do some cleaning. Will be watching the nest off and on.
Good late snowy Monday morning to all ♥
Shirley - you all down south of us are getting the blunt of this snowfall. I maybe had 2" or so of very light dusty snow - Cleared deck with a broom. Now it is coming down again very fine - I am praying it doesn't turn to ice/sleet before turning into rain.
President's day has a lot of people home plus holiday for the schools. That is a blessing with this weather. Spring is only 33 days and counting.........♥
Love your vase and your daffodils - Lolly!
Love your temps - Judy
But I also love it right here by my computer with the snow outside and all my friends inside chatting with me!
Eagle catching a few z's this morning.
Hunter was supposed to have school today--a make-up day for earlier snow days. But they announced the closing last night. Guess they were sufficiently concerned about the forecast to make that call.
Our eagle is awake. Sort of. Eyes mostly closed. It almost seemed like something startled him.
Wouldn't want to try to sneak up on that eagle even if he seems to be sleeping.
Berry College - their little bobble-head was seen and a video was put on FB - as are all little bobble-heads he is a cutie. I think their big black eyes is what takes your heart away
We still have our 2 eggs. Not sure of my feelings about a third - Unusual if we don't have 3 since over the years it has always been a 3 egg clutch. I am happy with 2 ♥
SWFL had E8 returned and there was no rejection - all acceptance. I think CROW rehab
had spoiled him - he is eating all the time! They have not be bonking each other and those dark pin feathers seem to be coming in.
Yes, Jo. I think we are getting the snow bonanza this time.
I am happy with 2 as well, Jo. It is difficult watching that third little one trying to survive.
Our nest looks like it could be getting sleet rather then snow. Just looking on Belle's back.
according to my weather channel app a chance of precip for the next couple of days at the nest 60%today in the next 36hours 40% by this weekend 50%
I also thought SLEET the way it looks
Wide view now. Some kind of frozen precipitation falling, but not much. Some of it is on our eagle.
Some snow still falling here, but not much.
My Live Feed seems to be buffering.
Back running now.
Ran in to the x mayor while I was out. I got the biggest hug from him. He was in Walmart daily in McDonalds with his wife. even after his retirement as mayor
So sweet he says he misses my smiling face at Walmart that there are no other associate that smiled like me all the time.
Just finished our "walk" and watched cam the whole time.Very thankful that whatever is falling is fine and not big fluffy flakes coming down like a blizzard!
Looked at papers for vampire work and the date says the 16th or later. So, will postpone until tomorrow! And, I was ready to head out, too!
Time for Belle to shake it off! She, if it's her,has chirped a couple of times!
Time to water house plants and clean our bathroom! Tah tah!
That is a good-feeling compliment Judy! I love smiling at people just like you do!
I sometimes count how many smiles I get in return! It works pretty well
Update from IT on keeping wide view until 4:30-5:00 instead of 2pm
IT said it could easily be reset - it's in front of Steve for approval.
Check the live feed at 2 pm to see if it zooms in - or if it stays wide view.
I really took into consideration everyone's opinions. At the time of hatching we would go back to the routine we have now.
JO Thanks for the update
eagle is tucked again
STILL CAM IS STUCK AT 107
It is running behind time I see but when it does open it seems to be current picture
Live feed is buffering at times
Waiting to see what happens at 2pm
Both in the nest
Arranging some more sticks
dad is in for the afternoon
still only see 2 eggs being rolled
zoom
Zoom came in at 2PM
Perhaps tomorrow we will have a change
LOL well my grandsons have left. It was a short but wonderful visit. I did have a nice supply of groceries here for them and what they didn't eat they took with them for their ride back to St Louis. Bill will spend 5 more days with Will there and then he flies back to Bangor Maine. He is still in High School but they are on Feb break this week. They promised it won't be 17 yrs the next time. I took them to John Deere and Isabelle Bloom this morning. They loved John Deere and Will found his girl a special elephant from Isabelle Bloom. Then out to lunch and off they went. I have my pictures though and some wonderful current memories. They are both fine young men and my driveway is all shoveled to, bless their hearts.
Good for you Glo. I am very happy for you and the time you were able to spend with
those two special grandsons. ♥
GLO so happy that you got a long overdue reunion and happy drive is clear also Saw pic on FB nice looking young men they are
Congrats to the Berry Eagle Family! Two successful hatchings ♥
I am so happy for you Glo. Our grandchildren are precious. Two handsome young men.
Snow is falling on our eagle. It looks very cold.
Congratulations, Berry Eagles!
Both in the nest.
Just had the switch got pic naturally
Switch.
Belle in, I think.
Glo - Glad you had a nice visit with your grandsons. Looks like snowing at nest now.
Mr President and the First Lady had a egg today. Never heard of that nest Just got a notification in email from the American Eagle Foundation Will have to check out that cam Have any of you heard of them?
Hi again all. Upstairs is clean. Snow has turned to rain that is supposed to continue all the way until tomorrow afternoon, getting heavy at times. But temps will be in the 50s tomorrow.
Must be Belle in the nest - Shep doesn't tent as well as she does. Wonder if we will get another egg? Wonder if the cam will go kaput again this evening?
BTW, Denny slept in a spare room again last night so i have no idea if he snored or not. He has one more anti-snoring device to try tonight. It's a mouthpiece that's supposed to hold your lower jaw further forward to keep your airway more open. We shall see.
Belle is covered with snow.
Good late afternoon.
Glo, so very happy you had a wonderful time with the grandsons. I'm sure they will be happy to make another visit very soon.
JudyE, yes. A pair of bald eagles have nested for years on the grounds of St. Elizabeth's hospital (think John Hinkley). That pair was the only known pair nesting within the District's borders. The pair being discussed now are nesting on the grounds of the National Arboretum in South East, D.C. The big excitement is that this is the first time a nest in D.C. has had a camera. There are two eggs. I have not been able to find a "live" cam but will try again. Some years ago, Lynn (Hedgie) and I participated in a letter-writing campaign to try to save the habitat of the hospital eagles; however, Homeland Security wanted a road which cut through the area surrounding that nest. Guess who won?
Headed for the scullery.
They sent a link to the camera along with the email I can't get it to load
Mr President and the First Lady cam
h
I GOT IT TO LOAD just as I clicked
DEB this Belle laid another egg at 4-405
I was watching That would have been right after the switch
JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR A GOOD LOOK AT THE NEXT EGGS ROLLS
did you notice you can HEAR the snow sleet on the cam housing on the speakers thought rain but I see flecks on Belle at times could be a combo
I just got back on - had my nap and now getting ready for dinner.
Judy - Which DEB is your comment to...?
I need a catch up!
DEB Stecyk put on Eagle 101
she posted the comment along with 30 pics
""""""""Deb Stecyk
41 mins · Peace River, AB, Canada
Feb 15 2015 - NCTC - Belle Mumbrella on duty since switch to 450 pm - Belle looked to be laying an egg at around 4 to 405 pm but likely just a false alarm!"""""" her post
sure wish she would do a EGG ROLL before dark being she is facing us may be able to see COME ON BELLE ROLL THEM EGGS
We ran a couple of errands and Jack has disappeared out to his shop. He is working on a Shut the Box game for Joey for his birthday this Sunday. They gave Jack the game Christmas and Zach one for his birthday. So, Jack has now built the prettiest one for Joey! The whole family will enjoy it!
Oh, poor Belle! She looks miserable. Did I read that Deb thought an egg was laid around 4? Hmmm???
Thanks Judy ! I think it is a false alarm - but who knows until we can see into the egg cup!
You haven't seen any proof of it yet, have you?
Looks like a egg roll time! At least time for a big shake off!!
Lost the live cam - same time as last night. What is up with this!!
SANDI Isw it frozen or did the screen go black
Mine seems to be ok - but I'm waiting for Belle to move
I believe I called it! Lol. Saw only two eggs!
Keeps buffering and I refreshed fast!
EGG ROLL - could not see into cup
BOTH of my cams are up/running.
Not sure what the problem for you could be
OK, got it back right away. Watching for an egg roll.
Lolly, i love that game Shut the Box. We had it for years but my niece came to visit 3 summers ago with her son who was about 6 years old at the time. Jacob loved the game so much that I gave it to him to take back to Missouri. A homemade one would be such a lovely gift! Wow!
Went to full screen on that egg roll. Saw 1 egg clearly and a glimpse of a 2nd one hiding under Belle. No sign of a 3rd. But it could still happen.
SAW TWO EGGS
I hear sirens! Air raid! Tornado?
Sandi, it is beautiful wood on the box. He ordered from online wood dice. It is really nice! Zach does really well with the game and not much holds his attention for long
big shake off for Belle up now
Just needs to make it through the night for better weather !
Just read this on a FB weather site: "A quarter to half inch of ice is likely across northern VA, central MD, extreme eastern WV, and across the eastern half of PA/northern NJ."
Shepherdstown is eastern WV. I can hear something hitting the camera. Belle is really tenting to keep the egg cup dry. What a pro she is!
LOLLY what were the SIRENS????
Belle is looking a little unusual - kind of raised up. Just sayin'
She shook off and rolled the eggs - only 2 for sure. OK, off to read a book. I will see everyone in the early AM. Goodnight all!
Good post-dinner time.
I see poor Belle sitting in the cold and do hope any more sleet/snow will skip over the nest.
Thank you for the D.C. link JudyE. I'll give it a try.
Headed for my recliner and then the pillows.
Restful sleep for all.
I just checked and mumbrella is doing very well.
Going to watch Major Crimes that has come on for the new season.
I'll be checking the cam
I think it is a 2 egg clutch - we'll know better in the morning.....
IF I don't get back - Goodnight to all
Stay inside if you can -
Thinking of Kathryn and hope she got home safely.
Prayers for all our needs ♥
Brought this over from my Facebook page. One of my bowling friends put it there. Eagle Cam in DC
They have two eggs. Someone on here has posted about them already--Mr. President and The First Lady.
up for a poop shoot only saw one egg lol Lots of flapping also
Lot of flapping hopefully got the icy mess off of her feathers.
Stopping in to wish everyone good night. SED.
Do not know hat the sirens were, heard them on the cam. About the same time heard the beep beep of a truck backing up.
Watched TV tonight. But have watched Belle all evening, too! She has really done a lot of shaking off...big time! And, she has not tucked and slept. Makes one wonder! Have seen only the two eggs!
Night all! SED!
Hat is supposed to be "what"!
Lolly, I don't think Belle can tuck her head with her wings in the Mumbrella position.
Just need to get through this cold cold icy night!
She can do it!
Headed to bed - Nite
Good morning. Looks like two eagles in nest. Icy mess here this morning. Have a great day and take care all.
Goodorming my eagle friends. I se only 1 eagle in the nest - Belle based on the way she is tenting over those eggs. I don't hear ice hitting the cam so I'm guessing it has turned to rain in Shepherdstown. At least I hope so.
We are at 49 degrees going up to 55 with rain all day.
Periodontist appointment for me today for a cleaning.
Prayers for all the needs on this blog - Dana's dad, Kay's friend Ernie, the family of Lolly's friend Marion, special prayers for Jo, and for anyone else that I missed. Have a greyt day all.
As the nest has gotten lighter, it looks like there is a coating of ice on it. Belle appears to have a little ice on her outspread wing feathers. Like Jerry said, an icy mess.
Good morning,
Oh it is a good thing our eagles are tough birds. It almost looks like he/she could get frozen to the nest. Good thing our eagle is strong. Looks quite displeased.
It is pouring rain here and very icy, though I think the temperature is a bit above freezing.
I think that is Belle.
Good Morning to Jerry, Sandi and Shirley.....and those who follow!
You are right, Shirley, it is a frozen mess in that nest and my first reaction was, Oh My......those poor eagles!
Even though it is still 32° degrees there now.........there is hope!! It will be dry and even some sunshine this afternoon!!
The rest of the week looks pretty good as well, so hopefully they will dry out and have some more normal conditions.
It is warmer here than in WV right now! We are up to 46° already, very windy and lots of rain........possibly turning back to snow again by this evening. Our driveway is like a sheet of ice still. Schools are closed. I know I have said it before, but this winter has has some CRAZY weather!!
Food delivery. A fish. Squealing from Belle. She is munching while Shep is on the eggs. The two eggs looked safe and dry in their very deep cup.
You can see the dry places where she had her wings spread. He is not mantling.
Ice is falling on his back.
Good morning! Checking in before reading the paper.
So, two eggs is the final count! Happy with that!
Had not thought of that, Jo! Duh! Of course, no tucking when mumbrelling.
Looks so cold and miserable!
I'll be back. Gotta have my coffee.
Belle has been standing there for some time. Hard to tell what is going on. I guess she flapped her wings to dry them.
She has not moved for some time--at least the part of her I can see.
Okay, not she is moving and looking for more food, I would say. I would be immobilized for longer than that after sitting there in the ice for so long.
I meant to say "now" she is moving.
I think he is keeping an eye on Shep.
She is keeping an eye on Shep.
She is now moving back onto the eggs. Shep has poofed. She never did leave the nest.
I think she would appreciate another fish. She finished that other one off in short order.
Good Tuesday morning to one and all.
I check in to find my sis hob-nobbing with the big wigs! Jk what a lovely compliment JudyE!
Its my Tuesday off and I have a lunch date with a gal pal…and a date with paperwork….need to crunch tax numbers. Should not be difficult, just time consuming.
It was a rainy cold and dreary day here yesterday. Its still mostly cloudy, but I saw a peek of sun a few min ago. It is currently 46 here. 60’s by the weekend. Planning on grilling out on Saturday!!!
I am really hoping we stay at 2 eggs. Its such a heartbreak when something has happened to #3.
I am hoping everyone has a lovely day. Thinking of each of you, holding you close for healing, comfort, and love. (((HUGS))) to all!
I read back to the discussion about the President and First Lady and their nest in DC. The link to their nest is available via Channel 7 in DC--WJLA.
Good Tuesday morning Jo, Shirley, Jerry,Linda, Sandi, Lolly, Janet, and all other eagle friends out there. What a miserable few days it has been for Belle and Shep. At least here on the OBX is is only rain and wind for the past two days.
It did stop raining for a bit late in the afternoon yesterday. So glad to read where breakfast was served at the nest already, and all looks as well as it can be there. Jo, we are going to have to get them Tough Old Bird shirts! :) They have sure earned them as each year goes by.
Shirley, checked in this am to see the DC nest. It seems like a well set up one as far as seeing the nest. Rain there too. No nest can ever compare to our nest at NCTC in Shepherdstown as far as I am concerned and the people blogging and the NCTC camera workers are the best!
Good morning.
Looks to be Belle tending her egglets. Also looks like rain/sleet. So anxious for warm and dry weather.
Thank you to those who provided links to the DC eagles. Now have the site bookmarked. Adult was providing mumbrella protection from the rain this morning.
Rain and fog at my abode. Laundry on today's agenda.
Wishing everyone the best day possible.
Good Morning Eagle Buds
Just got the mail and received my LIFE TIME discount card Funny today is the first day of my retirement and got it on the exact day
I am showing 36° at the nest on my weather app
Good Wet Foggy Warmer then usual Tuesday Morning to All ♥
Judy - Happy Retirement! Enjoy!
Thankful that both cams are up/running. We are having rain and the snow and ice is disappearing. Salt trucks have been busy early this morning.
I was happy to see a photo on FB of our 2 egg clutch! Thanks for your photo on Eaglet Momsters FB page, Sandi.
Judy - thanks for keeping photos in our Yahoo Eaglet Momsters site. I wish more would look at those pictures even though you put them on FB.
Blood work at Noon! At least it isn't at midnight to see Dracula.....
Lolly great about your ability to lose those pounds. I am holding steady even though my eating habits at times aren't the greatest. I am hungry for another piece of my apple pie.
Well I'm sure Kay is looking for me - I best publish my comments.......lol
Have finished the paper.
What a wet eagle! I am sure she is longing for sunshine! Have it here. 60 and heading up!
Need to go dry my hair and head to the local vampire. Clinic has a very close office, thankful for that!
Think I will loan my hair dryer to Belle, it will then be a feather dryer!
Good Jo! Glad you are holding steady with the weight! Prayers for you, your blood tests, and general good all over feeling!
Oh Yes, Shirley on FB Kathryn had a beautiful picture of the kitty. ♥
I watched the report on the DC nest. I was interested to see that they think they have the first and only HD cam on a nest. And the reporter commenting on the nest did not know what the eagle was doing when he/she was rolling the eggs. They will learn. They also have a chat room at certain times; one request was that people not get involved in posting about other nests, so that part of the organization realizes there are other nests out there. I am just happy to see that we have a nest cam in DC and I am sure they will become much better informed as time passes.
Rain and fog here as well, Judie.
Still lots of snow on the ground here. School is closed again today. It was very icy this morning.
I do remember the St. Elizabeth's eagles, Judie. Not sure what happened to that nest. I hope those eagles are safely brooding eggs somewhere nearby. Guess they could possibly be The President and The First Lady.
Good Morning Eagle Buds!!!
We had more snow overnight, but not enough to hamper travel. I'll get out this afternoon for a bone density test and the usual stop at Kroger. The warming trend some of you have mentioned is beginning here as well.
A dear neighbor brought me a bouquet of gorgeous red tulips yesterday. He's a caterer and these flowers were part of a Valentine's Day party. I get leftovers from his events every now and then--most welcome--I don't mind hand-me-downs at all!
JUDY, Happy First Day of Retirement and the beginning of a new and wonderful phase of life for you. Now you're free to roam far and wide visiting Florida's eagle nests, gardening, joining clubs, lunching and more with friends and last, but not least, enjoying your children and granddaughter---in other words, living life to the fullest. Nice to have that lifetime discount privilege, too!
Ernie's daughter reports some progress---he's been up walking and going to Physical Therapy. With exercise and the good nutrition available at The Manor, he may just triumph over the setback caused by the fall--he's strong willed and has met many past challenges with true grit. Thanks again for prayers and positive thoughts!
I'll be bookmarking and enjoying our D.C. eagles, too. It's great to know our National bird is well represented in our Capitol.
Prayers for all in need!!!
P.S. You were so right, JO. You showed up while I was doing a little editing...enjoy your piece of the pie!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
SHIRLEY, our HEDGIE and JUDIE did their best to save the "hospital nest"---yesterday JUDIE wrote:
Some years ago, Lynn (Hedgie) and I participated in a letter-writing campaign to try to save the habitat of the hospital eagles; however, Homeland Security wanted a road which cut through the area surrounding that nest. Guess who won?
Yes, Kay, I was very involved in that project. I think I still have the news reporter's e-mail address on my list. That effort was one of the things that really bonded members of our blog at the time. Oh, we learned a lot then.
Nice to hear of the positive report on Ernie.
Eagle up fixing nest, egg roll and wiggle wiggle back on egg cup
Tour over. Now on wide view. Lots of raindrops on cam lens.
Sun has come out here. :)
Flugg delivery,I think.
Eagle off eggs and doing wingersizes. Called out that it was time for lunch. and now back down on the egg cup.
Calling, wing flapping and return to the eggs. I think she wants a break.
eagle alert off nest for a sec now back on
Judy and Shirley, I hope lunch comes to the nest soon. AND Shirley, how about sharing some of that sun you have. :)
Good morning. Saw two eggs, heard some calls and wing flapping. Now back on eggs.
eagle up
no nestovers in the nest like in the past Walking around the eggs now
picking at cup and roll and back down on eggs maybe just leg and wing stretch
12:45pm Just returned home and see our eagle up - flapping - and down on the eggs
Feathers around neck lookd a little worst for the weather
Be sure to take notice as to whether or not we keep the Wide View after 2pm
I am eating late lunch! BBL
up again calling out
poof eggbert alone I hear eagle also HP maybe doesn't sound threatening
and back
Belle called, took off. I think that's Shep in and on the eggs now. Belle said, "Listen up, fella, I sat here and tented through all of that ice and rain, kept watch over you, then took another turn on the eggs. I need a break."
Bright sunshine here now. I hear birds chirping outdoors. Would like to share this sun. Maybe soon.
Just did a tour of our yard. Red buds are about to bloom, flowering quince has blossom open, and I see tulip buds on way to opening. Hang in there...Spring is coming, at least here anyway! Best news of all, there is no water over the back sidewalk!! Still very muddy, however parts of the yard need water. Crazy! That's what you get with sandy soil.
WOW! I have bright blue skies - Happy Dance
TIME FOR A FRESH NEW THREAD
PLEASE AND THANK YOU
zoom is back
Hi all. I see the cam zoomed back in at 2pm. From reading this morning's comments, it sounds like no one has seen a 3rd egg so it looks like we're at a 2-egg clutch for this year. Works for me! Looks like Shep egg-sitting, based on the space he takes up in the egg cup.
Periodontist visit went very well. She sees no need for any kind of gum surgery - laser or otherwise. Just keep doing what I'm doing. It was a 50 minute drive to Salisbury with pouring rain and wind the whole time there and back. It has now stopped raining but we're far from seeing any blue skies yet!
Emailing IT as to when to expect this long range view after the Cam Tour
until 5:00pm
Good afternoon.
Eagle tucking flugg around to keep cold air away. Good to see no snow or sleet.
Jo, blood work over so did you get a treat with lunch? Maybe a piece of apple pie? An ice cream cone? Happy for your bright blue sky. Not so much here, yet.
Shirley, I must apologize as Lynn and I emailed and called so much I forgot you also were active in trying to save the hospital nest habitat. It was a meaningful time. Did have to chuckle at the reporters not knowing what the DC eagle was doing and trying to explain. I also wonder if the current Arboretum pair might be the same. The areas are not so far apart.
Kay, how nice of your neighbor to bring you red tulips. So pretty and unexpected this time of year. Hoping Ernie continues to improve -- he needs a "tough old bird" shirt. I'm sure the bone density test will have good results.
JudyE, happy first official day of retirement. Enjoy today and the future.
I think the sound is GONE I only hear a hummmmmm
I need your input as to what time for the Wide Range view
## After the Cam Tour until =======5:00 or 6:00pm - which?
Daylight savings time is March 13, 2016 (We spring ahead 1 hr)
Our first possible hatch of 35 days would be 3/13.
I had requested until 5pm
Someone has suggested 6 pm
Think about it and let me know.
Oh my goodness, Judie, I do not need an apology. Many of us were active in that effort.
Hey, I saw a moment of sunshine at the nest. Just a moment. Yay for sunshine.
You and Hedgie were certainly working beautifully together. You deserve that credit.
I think it is good to have wide view until dark. I see that we are zoomed in now. We were wide for awhile.
Only wide during Cam Tour until 2 pm
Yes, time for a new thread!
Great to see sunshine at the nest.
Really does not matter to me, Jo. 5 or 6, both would be great!
Have been running errands, getting the trailer ready for a trip next week. So ready!
71 and think I am going to put my grubbies on and head outside!
sound is back I wonder why it comes and goes
I am sitting on my porch right now with tablet OK back to the camera can only do one at a time on tablet not like desktop
I think we got you beat LOLLY 72° was high for the day
nest is 43°
I bet Belle is happier to see the sunshine than the rest of us are! The sun has returned here as well but boy, what a drenching!
Jo, I don't have an opinion about when to have the camera zoom back in each afternoon/evening. Your call. Just so we're zoomed in all the time as of pip-watching time, around 3/13.
I just read on Facebook that the West Virginia legislature will be voting this week on a bill that would eliminate the subsidies given to the greyhound racing industry in the state. If the bill passes and the money goes to the state's General Fund instead, it's almost guaranteed that the 2 tracks there will shut down. Janey says, "Hooray to that!!!" Greyhound Pets of America - Delaware has brought back 12 dogs from West Virginia in the past 3 months and all 12 have found forever homes. Five more will be coming to DE at the end of this month.
Anyone else lose the live cam? This happens to me every night at about this time. Screen goes black and I get the "sorry ..." message. Last night I got it back again right away. Not tonight. I've tried using Chrome and Firefox.
Same here SANDI and I use Google Chrome and IE
cam is back
and it goes down again
and back after refreshing
I've just returned from Dinner with youngest son and wife. Hot roast beef open faced sandwiches. Very tender and good.
Judie I get Apple pie tomorrow!
I put up the Outdoor cam and all is well. Sandi I don't know your mystery about
the cam... wish it didn't happen to you. Hoping you got it back up.
Well about 4 of my eagle buds lost the cam at 6:07pm - before the IR came on. Yours
was 6:14pm - It's not your PC. When I lose it I have to cold boot and then turn it back on. I am still using Firefox. Sometimes the live feed buffers but I usually can get it started again by clicking on GO LIVE by the red bar.
Good TV night for me - Jeopardy, of course
Then NCIS - NCIS New Orleans
Then Rosalie and Isles
Our eagle is resting with her head tucked beneath her wing - Peaceful
Is has been a good day at the nest.
Goodnight to all ♥
Good evening. Looks like Belle and Shep made it through the bad weather none the worse. I watched some at work. Only have seen two eggs today. Supposed to warm up some and hopefully the groundhog predictions starts to take effect. Have a peaceful night. I will check in early tomorrow.
Dinner over. Scullery restored to order. Darth is napping. I'm headed to my recliner.
Jo, enjoy that apple pie tomorrow.
I also lose the live cam and did so about 5:30-6:00pm. All is okay now. Belle, I think, is tucked in for the night.
Hope Kay's test today was a-okay. Glad Sandi's dental was good.
Shirley, you and all those who worked to save the hospital nest deserve appreciation.
Wishing everyone a night of restful sleep.
It looks like all is quiet at our nest; no rain, no precip. and eagle resting comfortably in nest. Boy that nest sure looks good without any snow, ice, or rain. We finally got the sun to come out later in the afternoon here. Was hoping the same for the nest. Maybe this will be the last bad weather for them to sit through. Come on spring.
Everyone have a good night; restful and peaceful. Hopefully tomorrow will bring a wonderful sun shiney day for our nest. Prayers for all in need.
Conowingo Dam Bald Eagle a great video
Good evening,
We just got back from Franconia. Rus called this afternoon requesting our help with packing. His house has sold and he has to be out before tomorrow afternoon. The furniture is a removed with the exception of a sofa that one of his friends is supposed to pick up. He wanted help packing the kitchen items and his bathroom stuff, so we went up there and got busy. He still has a lot to do--all of those little loose ends that take so much longer than you expect. He will be busy.
It reminded me of the time we moved from Ohio. Because my husband was a government employee, the government paid movers to do our packing, which was a good thing since the twins were newborns. My husband was smoking his pipe and laid it on the kitchen counter. Big mistake. When he came back, it had been packed. A lit pipe. Fortunately it did not cause a fire.
And, when we unpacked, we found among the carefully wrapped items several of those little twist-tie thingies you use to fasten bread wrappers. If it was there, it was packed. Having just given birth to twins after having been on bed rest for a month, there were things I just couldn't do. It was a busy time.
Conowingo is a great place to see eagles, Judy. The Momsters went there once. I took along Kathryn and Hunter that day.
Yes, I hope Kay's test was okay and happy that Sandi's dental visit went well.
And, Judie, I hope you have restful sleep tonight as well.
Hunter's school is on a delayed opening tomorrow. I expect there will be some ice from melting snow. I won't mind sleeping in a bit.
SED, everyone.
lots of eagle egg now one tonight at Fort St. Vrain Eagle Cam

welp, still up so thought i'd post a note. I think the sandperson is lost tonight.....
had lunch with a dear friend today. she lives about 40 miles away and so we don't get to see each other too often, work, families, etc. we sat in Panera bread, ate lunch and chatted for 2 hours, and likely could have gone on for a couple more if didn't have to take Olivia to tutoring this evening!!!
love friendships like that. you just pick back the next time you get together. it is nourishment for the spirit!
its been a couple of chilly wet days. although temps have been "normal" the rain has been bone chilling. some sun would be welcomed.
I notice my tulips are up a couple of inches now. nice green growth! daffodils are up much higher. I think in the next couple of weeks I might see blooms on them!
good night to all!
Just peeked in on Belle! All is well, she is sound asleep!
Nite all! SED!
Good morning. I see a sleeping eagle in nest now. Warmer today. Talk later and take care all.
Goodorming all. Back to work for me today and an extra dog to potty and feed so I'm short on time.
Haven't even opened the live cam but I'm glad to know that others are also losing their live feed around 6pm each evening. Very strange.
Have agreyt day all!
good morning all. shortly after I posted last night, I heard a sound, and sure enough, that sandperson was tip toeing past my door....it took some bribes but I finally received a shot of sleepy dust and slept! :)
hope everyone has a wonderful day. its warming up here and we might see the sun (gasp!) for more than 10 seconds. its soggy wet out that would very much be appreciated.
see ya'll later!
Good early morning.
Adult in the nest looking around. All seems quiet.
DC eagle tucking flugg.
Berry babies covered.
Mei and Bei Bei outside tree climbing/tussling.
Overcast today. Supposed to be warmer.
Off to get my "do" did.
Wishing everyone the best day possible.
Good Wednesday morning to everyone! The sun is finally shining on the OBX. I hope it is shining in your place as well.
One eagle in nest and wind is still blowing. Don't see any sun, but hopefully it will come out sooner than later. Eagle pulling flugg up around her front to keep eggs warm. They sure are troopers. Up she gets and is working inside the egg cup with the flugg. I can hear birds singing off in the distance. Still working with the flugg. I could only see 2 eggs before she wiggled, wiggled back down on them. She is still pulling flugg around her sides now. She might have rolled the eggs, but I missed it.
I don't see any evidence of breakfast served yet. Hopefully that is yet to come OR maybe they totally ate every last bit earlier. Headed out for some coffee.
Don't throw any snowballs at me BUT I definitely do not want a 3rd egg now. Way too late for any little one to compete with these 2 siblings now. Just prayers for a good year for our nest. I may head to the marina one more morning.Warm temps later in the week is going to move what we do have here north I am surng Enjoy your day.
Eagle is up and head down in egg cup, fixing the flugg, rolling eggs and sitting back down and getting comfortable.
Good morning,
Nice and sunny here today.
I see our eagle in a snow-free nest. :)
Enjoy your visit to the hairdresser, Judie.
I agree, Glo. Let's have a 2-egg season this time.
It's always nice when you can bribe the Sandperson, Janet. I slept well after packing a bunch of boxes for Rus. I will be thinking of him today, as he still has work to do. Some things you really cannot do for another person, things like deciding which toothbrush to pack and where to put things you cannot identify.
One thing we did for him--when we got up there, I called and asked if he wanted anything form the local Roy Rodgers, and he responded with an emphatic "Yes!!!" Guess he was very hungry.
Eagle up and working in cup. Egg roll and back down.
Good Morning Eagle Buds
Love it that most of the ice and snow is now gone from the nest
Hey got something I want to share I just read over on FB in regards to eaglets bonking in nest With E8 drama on the nest
Here it is

I've seen a few comments and have heard a few things about what was going on at the cam page for Harriet's nest. I steer clear of that silliness, although I have my opinions, too, especially about human intervention in the lives (and deaths) of wildlife.
On that topic, I have drawn some interesting conclusions through my years of experience and observations of multiple eagles' nests. I have never witnessed, nor heard from any witnesses of sibling rivalry or "bonking" that happen at nests without cams. I believe this violent behavior must be directly related to having a cam on the nest. I'm not sure if the violent behavior is a result of the electrical interference from the cameras on the developing eaglet's brains, or possibly from the eaglets trying to impress the networks and get their own reality show. In either case, the cams should be shut down immediately and all human interference in these sweet gentle bird's lives should be halted.""""
first of all how does he know about the wild and others if they are in the wild How do they see them
ok now David says it
sarcasm
The US Fish Wildlife posted a picture of our nest on FB this am so cool
Good morning! Lol. Now that is funny! I think that was stated with "tongue in cheek"! Really funny!
Another beautiful day here. Going to spend the afternoon in the yard.
Just got a good peek at our beautiful eggs. With this close up cam you can really see the large size. Can hardly wait til we are searching for pips! And then little bobbleheads!
No BB game last night. Our Joseph is sick. He stayed home from school Monday. Went to school yesterday, but Laurel had to go get him and return him home. Do not know about today. He has congestion, cough and is aches all over. He had flu shot so hope it is not flu! And, hoping this does not pass through the family. So far it has been a great school year with no colds!
Dreading Friday. Have yearly check up and they scheduled my appointment way too early. It is a 30 minute drive. Oh, poor me! Lol. Oh, and traffic will be bad!
Have turned down the sound on my laptop as the static is too loud. Anyone else with this problem?
LOLLY I have had static on the cam all morning
BUT finally now I do have WIND sounds
Good late morning to all ♥
I see our Eagles are tending their eggs - our season is going well. I did email IT late yesterday and hope he reads it before resetting the time on the Zoom - I asked him for the 6pm time and advised we would be changing our request mid march when hatching dates start. I'll keep you posted if I hear anything.
I so welcome a couple of days with milder weather. I am so ready for Spring. Janet it sounds as though you will have some flowers soon - just like Lolly does. I'll be waiting for June to get a Megan Bouquet ♥
There is a chance that I will meet up with Robyn and Tori when they finish testing down in Baltimore. Just depends on the time the test is finished.
Janet what you are saying about meeting friends you haven't seen for a while is so true.
Skies are bright blue with white puffy clouds - Must be the sun! Don't recognize the brightness since I haven't seen it for so long.
