Welcome to the afternoon thread!
Thanks Steve.
All has been quiet in the nest this afternoon. Think the camera is getting dried out. Not as many lines going through it.
Jo, that is what Mits said, I remember. She just can't leave us.
EagleEyedSharon said NewThread & here we come.......Thanks, Steve. How about some more of Todd's pics...
Howdy Gang, I have been off work and checking in WOW alot to catch up on in blogs. Right now the nest is empty, i am sure with all the bad rain we have had here last few days, they are drying off some where's safe. Jo Congrats on the new baby 1 more day and she would have been born on my daughters birthday 25th..And couldn't hold off til my birthday July1st..lol Oh my the radio is calling for really bad weather warning again. Really nice to see everyone has kept great blogs on the kids. Mits HiYa to you and i have been watching the pandas they were in the water awhile ago..lol Ok back to work ,, Nilla
Sharon - I even think MITS put that in writing. Maybe the water level is too high under the BayBridge to safely cross over HaHa.....
Here you go, Jo!
Hey You! NILLA We have missed you! Sure hope your 5 days off were wonderfully relaxing! Oh,My, is your birthday really on July 1??? HaHa!
Nilla, welcome back!! You have been sorely missed! We have needed songs and poems to be written and you haven't been here.
Tee Hee!!!! I should have been out of here on Monday, then it should have been yesterday and Hubby came home yesterday sick and Hubby has to be half dead to do that, he is still home today, so I thought maybe I would get out this afternoon, but its almost four o'clock, think I will leave tomorrow early. I think I'm so afraid that the computer will not work, that I might miss you all. I have family coming in this weekend and next week, so I MUST go down tomorrow to go to the store. Once I'm there, probably will not come back til Baby Kalis is on the way. Normally I'm there from Memorial Day to sometime in October. Sorry so long-winded.
To make our day great - we only need to hear a word from wv gal-Vicky
HEY NILLA WELCOME BACK, DARN I MISSED THEM PLAYING IN THE WATER..
I have to go out for a little while. You know the eaglets will come while I am gone. I am going walking for about an hour!!
Jo, did you see my new name?
"Hey Diddle Diddle I dont have a fiddle.. Nothing but turtle shells to view.. Jo im am counting on you for a turtle shell birthday present.. so shimmy your butt up the Ole Sycamore tree and get one for me.. LMAO are ya'll sure you missed me???????
I like your new name Eagle-Eyed Sharon
Yes, NILLA we really did miss you - We needed a song one or two times - and you weren't there.BooHoo
We were hoping with all the rain that the nest would overflow and the turtle shells would float right out onto the ground....'Cause I/m really not going up the Sycamore...........
LOOKS LIKE A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS, WEST OF I-81 HEADING IN THE DIRECTION OF SHEPERDSTOWN. HOPE THE EAGLETS COME FOR A VISIT SOON.
Sandy Both parents are in the nest with little HUGO!
Just checked weather and bad storms heading our way here in Martinsburg with 40 mph winds and hail and hard rain. Sky really looks threatening out right now. Mits im am watching the panda cam and Tai is really giving her mom a fit playing..lol I noticed the wind picked up on cam also leaves blowing.Guess mom had enough of Tai's playing she is back outside strolling. Hey Jo with 40 mph winds just might blow a turtle shell down..lol
4:40pm MT NEST
If you are watching the live cam you can tell we are experiancing a bad storm once again.Very hard rain and thunder and lightening, winds blowing. The nest is empty at 5 pm..
MOMA PANDA IS IN FOR THE NIGHT AND BABY PANDA IS FINISHING HIS FRUITCICLE OUTSIDE, THEY USUALLY LIKE TO HAVE BOTH IN BY FIVE O'CLOCK. WIND PICKING UP, MT NEST AT 5:00P.M.
PARENT IN THE NEST, EAGLET MANTILING
5:07pm Adult in nest It's Liberty 1 eaglet in nest mantling Really getting windy - storm is a coming.
PARENT JUST FLEW OFF, EAGLET STILL MANTILING
Adult flew out............. Looks like BigBoy but is still mantling - can't be sure.......I was on phone with my one soldier grandson & missed the entry.... Live feed may go wacko...
I KNEW THEY WOULD COME BACK AT DINNER AND NOW THE STORM IN INTERFERING.
1 IN THE NEST LOOKING AROUND
EAGLET STILL NOT EATING...
OK, HE THINKS IT IS SAFE TO EAT NOW, STILL LOOKING AROUND.
#2 JUST FLEW IN..
5:12pm Don't know if it is mantling or just holding his own so he doesn't blow away. 1 more eaglet in nest...Just staying on edge...Must be some food over by BigBoy He sure is protecting it...........Such large wing span..........
#1 IS MANTLING AND #2 IS JUST LOOKING.
Looks like the #2 eaglet in is Spunky. Not as large as Inbetween..
IS THAT MS-INBETWEEN??
Wonder when Sharon will finish her walk?
Live eagle cam is doing same as live feed...Distortion!
Still 2 in the nest........
2 in nest at 5:15 looks like Big Boy and Spunky?? Oh my live cam is messin up in the storm!
MITS & NILLA: Can't say for certain it is Spunky.. Lying down #2 eaglet looks large ... I wish the #3 would fly in.
Hope the leaves stay off of the cam.
You gonna share........I'm not sure he had food.......???
5:25 1 flew off, still an awsome site to see them take off!!!
5:22pm BigBoy out-------- I think it is Spunky still in the nest. Still think there wasn't any food brought in by the Liberty........
1 IN THE NEST, LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT BOLT, THSE LEAVES MAKE ME THINK THAT ANOTHER EAGLET IS COMING IN.
Jo rains headin your way battin down the hatches ..lol
At least they both looked dry..But the rains should be starting again...
OK THE CAM IS DRIVING ME NUTS..
Spunky is going to have the wind beneath his wings when he flys out!
See the 2 little white tips on his shoulders? BigBoy has them also but he's larger. That's how I ID them. I don't think Inbetween has them.
I guess he is just gong to hang in that nest for awhile.. Keeps looking out ... Guess he is trying to decide where it is good to go in a storm...
Gee Wiz what beautiful shades of Fushia and blues and greens n yellows we have on live cam..lol I am with you Mits watching it gave me a headache..lol
5:26pm Eaglet on edge of nest at 1:00 position... Cam wacko...Can't see right now...He is still there..Did not take off but hopped down to 5:00 position... looking under nest..Cam wacko... HE IS GONE..5:37pm
Nest empty at 5:40 pm.
Dinner time here at my house..Be back..
Looks like a pretty quiet day except for cam problems. NOT at all like my day at work. No breaks. So crazy after you take a few days off. Except for lunch I went steady and am not really sure how much I actually accomplished LOL. Oh well, there is always tomorrow. Going to fix some supper, will check back in in a little while. It is nearly 6 pm eagle time. I think the nest is empty but I honestly can't tell :-(
IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE IS IN THERE BUT WHO KNOWS. GOT TO TURN IT OFF..
6:30pm MT NEST Cam's pic has been pretty good for awhile (sort of). It still is jumping around but at least I got to see nest was empty. Rain did come here - but didn't storm much (no high winds-only one clap of thunder)

NILLA NILLA NILLA Fly like an eagle was soooooooooooooo good!! Wait 'till the rest of the group views it! Oh, my, my, my! Hey there Paula--they're playing your song...
Please my friends look at this web site i promise you will be laughing out loud and with some tears will flow. The music is just awsome with the video's.If i am correct there are like 14 video's, i hope you enjoy and share with other friends... Nilla http://www.youtube.com/user/cadria04
Jo use that link and it takes you to all her video's they are fantastic
Oh, No! Now I just watched "First Poop" I am so glad you found this site, NILLA. There are about 5 more for me to watch! Am I ever having fun!
NILLA ,The 1st one I tried said video was not available. Did watch the video of the Hornby Island Eagles whose eggs did not hatch, very sad they looked so frustrated. I'm going to try the other ones now.
hi everyone, I'm back!
I'm happy to report that, after a physical examination by Jody and myself, it turns out that the dove only had a dislocated shoulder! We set the joint and gave her an anti-inflammatory injection. She'll stay with us for a few days while she gets the strength back in the wing then we'll let her go :-) yeah!!!
suzanne: birds do have hollow bones, but not like a straw. well, not exactly. Our vet will frequently pin broken bones (just like in people) to fix the fracture and then have the pins removed once the bones have knitted together. the pins can be internal or external, depending on the location and nature of the break. the eagles really aren't any different. unlike humans, who require dense bones to carry our weight and to sustain the amount of force caused by walking, birds require light bones to best utilize air currents. It's the wings, however, that are the absolute key factor. Different wing shapes are for different types of flight. I'd be happy to go into this further on Nest Watchers if folks are interested. And don't worry, Suzanne, you're not making me "work" -- I love talking about this stuff!
sharon: i'm sure the nest is quite odiferous -- but not to the birds. birds in general do not have a very good sense of smell; the exceptions, of course, are birds which require the ability to smell food, such as vultures and buzzards (vultures and buzzards are not the same). vultures & buzzards are carrion eaters, they are not hunters, so they have to be able to pick up the scent of dead animals more than they need to be able to see their prey. how's that for a really long-winded answer?
sorry for the rambling...

It should play then Mits.. Hopes so its truely amazing sites and sounds.
There are so many videos to watch - I am having a blast! The captions used on the videos sound just like the words we say to our own eaglets! They are really funny & so well done. I just hope all of you find this site!!
NILLA - how did you ever find this one?

BTW everyone... here's the link to an article written about my rescue group, Fallen Feathers. We recently took in a baby Harris hawk which had been found on a golf course in Sun City West; they named him Gus and he's doing quite well!
My best friend and partner in crime, Jody Kieran, is pictured, but I am not. Well, my hand is: the hummingbirds are sitting in my hand. I am quoted, as is Jody of course. Anyway, I hope you guys like the article.

Jo i am not busy at work and was just looking around and Lo and behold i wondered on the site..lol Isn't it fantastic!!! Im so glad your having fun.. smiles... keep looking as there are alot to see.. did you see the one called Splish splash? Cute huh,,,lol
Well I am back. Didn't get to go walking because I had to pick up a friend whose car had broken down. Took them for a quick trip to the doctor, went to 2 pharmacies, picked up another friend, had supper and now I am back home for the night. I am playing hooky from my usual activities for the night and staying in! Need to rest or maybe I just need to watch an MT nest for a little while longer! :)
Going the Nilla's videos now.
http://www.infotecbsi.com/wildlife/ Jo this is where i found it go to the forum's and was reading the blogs and happened to find the site. Hope your still having fun..lol
Sharon - you're going to love them!
NILLA: Just watched, We're Hiding - really funny - one caption was "All those people are still watching us"..I could fill up a whole evening with this YouTube site... the more I click, more videos come up. I think I do like the BC eaglets - even though I don't like their lopsided nest.
Two Babies and I think Liberty in the aerie. Do you like that word? Mantling. Liberty has just left the aerie. (I hope I am spelling that right!)
2 in nest at 7:45 looking for food i think..lol
I absolutely loved the "Fly like an Eagle" video. It was wonderful. Now I am watching the 2000 other ones they have! :) Had to stop a minute to report on our nest.
I'm popping bubbles & look what is happening in the nest.
7:48pm 2 in the nest
BigBoy & Inbetween
Cam still messing up ............
1 in the nest.........didn't see the other leave.............
It really looks to be Spunky.. Sitting at 12:00 position - Talking to someone out there - Over to launch pad position & OFF he goes..7:55pm
I know Sharon i am doing the samething.. lol I am so glad you enjoyed the site, i can just picture Jo setting there laughing and watching the video's.. makes me happy ya'll are enjoying them so much, i know i certainly am!!!!!
Hey video watchers - MT NEST........
Okay, we need sound next year for sure. The one with the distress call - I saw that happen that day that she snagged that bird on the limb. The babies were hunkered down. Mother nature - She is a wonderful thing!
Jo, I was watching video and the nest at the same time. I frapped a lot of it! I think I am going to buy fraps (only $37) before next season so we can have videos without FRAPS.COM across the top of it!
http://videos.uncle-bri.com/birds/hornby/ PLEASE LOOK AT THESE!!! i found this and its a list of video's to see.. The one i watched (you need the real player) was 2 parents making a nest and setting on 2 tiny eggs.. ifeel like singing "Im In Heaven Im In Heavennn ,, Eagle Heavennnn lalalalalalalala"
Glo, you've got mail!
Jo, that was too good!! I was wondering what you were talking about - popping bubbles!! Thanks so much for that! :)
NILLA: That's another winner. We need Paula to add these to our Momsters LINK page.
Nilla-Sharon-Mits you may have mail.
You did it again, Sharon - one step ahead of me..........Opened mail before I even had a chance to tell you that you had some..... HaHa LOL
There has been an update on the MD Ospreys (Blackwater). It has been determined that the youngest chick, while slow in development, is getting enough food and that no human intervention is needed. They mentioned that the littlest one is showing submission behavior which is likely only evident now because the others are so much larger.
So basically I guess we're not supposed to worry about him now. Fat chance!
Click the "2006 Osprey Web Cam Blog" at the top of the cam page to read the entry...
Sleepy time for the CT osprey chick, such a sweet face!
Nothing in our nest right now....they may all be finding a roost site for the night, or maybe a late supper...
Jo, I am going to watch TV for a little while. If anything frappible happens, will you call me?
Thanks Jo i will check mail soon.. Mits did you have any luck on seeing the video's??? Ya know i had paid $20.00 bucks for several games on yahoo and havent played them for along time.. Wonder why?? lol
Is it just me, or does the live feed look froze up? My indicator leaf on the left of the screen has not moved for quite some time!
Sharon Send me phone # again in an email......I can't find it & I know I had written your cell # right here by my computer..... Then you can go watch TV
Jo, you've got mail!
I tried to compare Live feed with the Eagle cam... I just can't determine if the cams are frozen or the wind isn't blowing........The leaf hasn't moved BUT I just saw a bird fly..& land in the tree on left side of pic. Must not be frozen
Must have just been no breeze because I see one of the eaglets on the left side of the screen moving around.
Jo, we have to stop doing this. We are blogging a lot alike here lately!
TV time, will be back in a few!
Awwww Jo thanks i am all busted out now..lol and my fingers numb. I have so much mail in my yahoo will take hours to read it from momster's..lol
Jo, the leaf is moving now. Must not have been froze!
Good night, eaglet_momsters!
Goodnight, Sharon....
http://videos.uncle-bri.com/birds/hornby/ go down the list and open this one...eagle_06_04_08_15_50..> 08-Apr-2006 16:47 4.4M .... this video show's a parent on the eggs in the nest and very vocal at something around them..Turn up sound and listen to the parent.
Good Night Everyone.. Hope you are loving the eagle sites i posted as much as i am. Just hearing the parents be so vocal is excitng and they seem to also have tempers.. Jo there are so many should keep you out of trouble for awhile..lol Niters, Nilla
YES NILLA, I'VE BEEN ON THAT SITE SEVERAL TIMES TO SEE THEIR STUFF, THEY USED TO HAVE A GUY, DON'T KNOW IF THEY KICKED HIM OUT, BUT HE USED TO PUT VOICES TO THE EAGLES AND SOUNDS WHEN THE WERE POOP-SHOUTING. SOME PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS TOO GRAPHIC. CHECK YOUR EAGLEMOM MAIL, I SENT YOU ALL A 4TH OF JULY CARD I THINK YOU ALL MIGHT ENJOY, SO FAR ONLY CINDI HAS PICKED IT UP, IF IT DIDN'T COME THRU IT IS ON THE BLOG-PAGE OF EAGLE MOMS. IT IS A E-CARD FROM HELEN AKA MITS
Jo, love bubble wrap............very theraputic...
Jo, did you get the bubble wrap e-mail I sent today or are we just on the same wave-lentgh when it comes to bubble wrap???
BIRDGIRL, thanks for the updates.
MITS: I sent you the card AFTER I popped all the bubbles you sent me....Just to get even... Are you going to email me any OC info on your location or phone # in case when I come down I could get in touch? My computer down home is 'dial up' - I dread it. I am not down long enough to invest in DSL.... You have a good summer - I know we'll hear from you!!
Oh Mits how beautiful the card was Thanks you so very much, and when the flowers came up and made that eagle Lord i got goose bumps with the music and tears Thanksssssss again!!! Nilla
I am so glad you all liked it, when i first saw it and then what the flowers turned into, it brought tears to my eyes and I thought of all of my eagle friends. Jo, I'm hoping to get out early in the a.m., but hubby is still home sick,but he says he is going to work tomorrow. Hopefully my comcast is working down the beach, I will send you my phone # and maybe we can do some dolphin watching....
Thanks Mits the card is beautiful I loved just watching it all happen before me, and how neat that it ends with the eagle. Happy 4th to all. Good night everyone. Hopefully more camera and action tomorrow.
Closing down for the evening also.
By the dawn's early light
May the eaglets have had a good night.
GOOD NIGHT EAGLE MOMS AND DADS. HAVE A PEACEFUL NIGHTS' REST.
MITS! I LOVE DOLPHINS!! Please, if you happen to catch some pics of any, would you email them to me??
Believe it or not, my real name is not Bird Girl, it's Delphia. It's a Greek name and it means "dolphin"!!
let me know if you catch some snaps! good luck!
3:22 a.m. *&^%(#(# Dogs had to go out again. Live feed is down. No one in the nest! Good night - again!
Good middle of the night...
I'm up for the usual at 3 a.m.
The nest is wet-looking and
E M P T Y!!
Good luck today,
Jim
One bedraggled, wet eaglet in the nest... not sure how long he's been there, just looked up at the still pic and there he was...
Hi Suzanne,
Doesn't the fog make the picture look so different? Hope the young 'un has something to eat, can't tell from the stills if he's picking at food or not, can you?
I'm hoping it is spunky - looks too small to be ms. inbetween and not dark enough for bigboy... but so hard to tell with him so wet
6:53 a.m. Eaglet in the nest!
Okay, so I was late on the news! :)
Good morning Sharon :)
More eyes, especially sharp eagle eyes are a good thing :) Who do you think we have in the nest and is he eating something?
I think he is eating something!
Suzanne I sure hope he's eating - will need lots of good food to help warm up and dry off
Good two votes for food :) That makes me feel even better :)
Oh the first lines in the pic just appeared. I haven't even tried the live feed, is it up?
And he's off... Have a great day spunkster or whichever eaglet you are :)
Lets hope for a sunny day filled with good hunting and eating :)
Have a great day everyone! I might have time to stop back in before I head out for the day... going for a girls day out with some friends and my daughter :)
Suzanne, I am still here, watching the mold grow. I bet it really is this morning with all the wet. Is DC getting dried out?
Good morning all. Looks like I already missed the first mornng caller. I hope you all are right and it was Spunky WITH some breakfast. Hopefully today will be much dryer and better for the eaglets and the camera.
Good morning Glo. It looked like Spunky and it also looked like he had his head down eating! Hard to tell when just one is in the nest and no live feed.
8:32 a.m. Parent came, then three eaglets came and parent gone! One is mantling!
Saved several pictures but sure do wish the live feed was up!
Still mantling, looks like the other 2 are going in for the steal!
I think it is BigBoy mantling, Ms. Inbetween beside him and Spunky at 9 o'clock position.
Change that. Spunky next to InBetween and BigBoy at 9.
That is going by the darker, blacker color of BigBoy!
8:46 a.m. And now there are 2.
Good morning-still see 2 in the nest-new thread is up.
