Mainly writing this so that when Sharon gets back, she'll know what went on. All 3 still in the nest! Witnessed a feeding around8:40am-large fish. Spunky was resting & adult eagle drug the fish over to wake him/her up for feeding.Inbetween also was fed-then BigBoy, who had been watching patiently, came over & got some. The other adult eagle flew in with a branch-All 5 in the nest was a sight! I feel the leafy branches are to the eagles what a Sealy is to us humans. All 3 tried to lay on it!<BR/> I have just realized why some others' aren't making comments. If you click on '8 comments' under the blog by Steve on the 10th - it won't open. But if you click to the right on the date - the comments open & you can submit your comment. I will email Steve to see if this is the correct procedure now & ask him to get the word out on Monday. I'm out of here for a grandaughter's college graduation most of today - hope I don't miss much. Big Boy is hopping & flapping for longer periods of time - & so is Inbetween (hops on one foot-really funny) Catch you later!Mema Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630606866716434605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24421994.post-1147476277771563302006-05-12T19:24:00.000-04:002006-05-12T19:24:00.000-04:00FRIDAY 5/12 7:18pm I keep checking the blog to ...FRIDAY 5/12 7:18pm<BR/> I keep checking the blog to see other comments even though it's for Wed the 10th. I feel so all alone not hearing from anyone! I did email Steve that the blog wasn't updating the number of comments-hope he looks at it. I also mentioned that the EagleCam had froze on 5/11 & it is up & running now. We will need it for the weekend viewing. I have watched off & on today and saw 2 feedings.BigBoy seems to stay on his perch (where Nilla feels he will take his 1st flight from & so do I) & Spunky has benefited from the feedings. Inbetween got some at the 4:45 feeding. Well, I will talk with you all after I see some more postings on the blog. I know you are watching!Mema Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630606866716434605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24421994.post-1147388669155117052006-05-11T19:04:00.000-04:002006-05-11T19:04:00.000-04:007:00pm Thank Goodness!

I did see Sharon's from early this morning. But where is everyone else today? I think we Blew the Blog! I just watched the adult fly in when the winds got up and the rain poured down. The perils of parenthood- One of the eaglets looked as though it was hanging on the outside of the nest & then hopped on up when the adult came in. I don't know which one it was. The eagle cam must have gone down at 2:06pm today & the video was blurred and distorted during this rain storm that started around 5:50pm. The adult is still there & I hope that Spunky is under him because I can only spot 2 eaglets. Going to be a wet night!Mema Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630606866716434605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24421994.post-1147344325364248942006-05-11T06:45:00.000-04:002006-05-11T06:45:00.000-04:00Okay, I am trying to figure out what I just witnes...Okay, I am trying to figure out what I just witnessed. It looked like dad brought breakfast in, big boy grabbed away. Then Big Boy kind of pushed Daddy back out of the nest. Now they are going a back and forth thing but big boy is winning, I think.
