Basically what's happening is our voltage regulator for the cam microwave feed is going bad. We have ordered another one. Seems like we are in the process of replacing things in the cam system one by one. We're working on it...

Oh, and could you climb up the tree and give that thing a good whack...maybe it will work for a little while till the new one gets here! :):)
Thank you Paula for the heads up on the New Thread.
Steve sorry to send the email but had to get an update. I thank you for updating us to the cam.
I do agree with Paula maybe a good old whack would may it work for awhile. Although I volunteer Todd to go up the tree. Your woren out from all your traveling.
Panda cam is back, DANA..
Lecture was very interesting, Suzanne, was giving by an autisic scientist and how she can understand animals senses.
Thanks for new thread.........
Heading out to the zoo...BBL!
Good Afternoon Everyone
Not sure if I am going back to old thread to 'catch up' or not. Might just stay right here if I can post!
Thanks for new thread! So sorry about all the other problems & concerns that need fixing.
So Very Happy To See That Little
Eagle Egg In The BlackWater Nest !!!
You know who should be next!!
Thanks Dana for the email to get me in here!
Your welcome Jo you all have tried to help me. That's what we're all about caring for and helping each other. wink
I am going to catch a nap.
Keep posting I will read them ty.
Back from My Staff Meeting. There she sits like a good little mom.
Sure wish the still would work consistently whether or not we are still working out and ordering new parts etc for the live. maybe the issues are related. COnfusing at best and continued frusttrating for all I am sure. We still have all had the opportunity to see something this year we did not see last year. Hoping praying encouraging supporting and appreciating...that how I feel.
Hey Glo, we had a good time in the parachat last night!
Seems we "getting our education" on eagle anatomy
Ask Dana all about that!
When you all get on the parachat- you do float your screen don't you. Meaning that you knew while you were over there of all the excitement on the blog concerning Lady Blackwater and the laying of the first Eagle Season Egg?
It's just I missed your not being here (chat & blog at same time is what I'm saying)
LOL I am glad that para chat is being fun for folks who come in to use it. As tough as it was getting ont he thread today before Steve coul dpost us a new one, my guess is you saved folks about 100 or more pots that would have slowed it down even more, and yet everyone had fun and all the info they needed. Cool. Now if Mama eagle there has all the info she needs, We have nothing to worry about I am sure she does havce the info...now will she choose to act on it or will we all learn a little bit the hard way. MTBR
I did call DEFS byt he way...the line was busy, seemed to be all tied up from WV to Maryland...anyone have an idea what coul dhave been causing that LOL. ((((((hugs))))) She is so pretty sitting there. I do hope she sits there enough to go to the next stage of Mommy hood. Will be so fun to watch her.
Hey Hey Hey ... Just been catching up on the blog and checking cams.. Paula thanks for the heads up on neenergy cam.. Really a nice nest with snow underneath... Suz is having her 5th drink n seeing double eggs..lol Amazing as it maybe Mother Nature has her own agenda on how the outcome of all her creatures and what will happen, so we as humans just show compassion when our heartaches for the animals... NOW WHERE THE H did that come from????? Yes Jo dont know about floating but i was multi taskin...lol As for anatomy of birds yes we had a class i called my sister who raises birds to asked a question ,,, female birds have female parts ... Well its back to work for me today and time for shower and off for a bite to eat before work... C U'all from work later... Relized no sign of Sandra today hope she is deleting e-mails...
here i still set watching buta buta trying to eat bamboo..lol funnyyy adorable butter ball... Ta was at the big windows in the big yard eating bamboo..watched intently since Thelma was going that she would maybe set there by the windows and wav.. LQQK at that lil Ms Boo Boo playing with bamboo
Copied from Nilla female birds have female parts
LOL are you serious...now who'd a thunk ?!!!! LOL.
I am sure the conversation got pretty fun/funny. Too bad I had to work, but yes I have already been told that several of you were in fact multi tasking. That is of course how it needs to be. Immediate chatting can be so very much fun....
Feeling left out whether you are on the BLOG alone or in the Chat alone is not much fun at all. And eagle info we all are interested in that BOTH places....other conversations come and go depending on whose chatting or blogging. Our eagles they obviously stay right in the hearts of all who are here watching NCTC and the many other cams we now share whether fur or feather.
ButaButa is surely investigating that bamboo.
Noticed that the ME cam System is down: computer is broken. Might be awhile for that one. NY gal said that it started snowing around 4am this morning & it's up to her knees & she has long legs! lol
MT nest out on the West Coast all around. Was glad for Lynda White responding to Jim & Mits about length of time before starting all over again.
ButaButa is really playing around with her 3 sticks of bamboo!
My electricity went off just for a second but I had to reboot!
I am off to order ELMO b-day cake for 2 yr old this Saturday. BBL
Howdy Jo now isnt that about the most adorable lil panda besides our Tai that is.. Glo of course she has female parts but there but a big debate as to which part the egg came out of Duhhh... realy need to scoot BBL from work ..
She is so cute. She makes me smile!!!
Other eagle parent is in osprey nest chowing down
Eagle BW is off egg on side of nest-still just the one egg. I think (?) it can take 2-3 days before another may be laid.......
Off to order cake........
I see Steve hasn't made the climb yet :)
On the female birds....did you all find out that they only have one producing ovary?
Nope Paula didnt discuss the inerds just where things comes out..lol brb at work bringing up all the cams..
she gettin up??????????
yesssss look at tha tiny egg
she left at 4:58pm
back but not setting yet.. darn this 30 sec delay
she is back n rolled egg
They turned off Buta Buta's cam even before 5 pm and she was playing Grrrrrrrr
Good evening everyone. Been kind of lazy today. Worked a little while this morning and took a nap this afternoon. Then I had to pick Mattie and Justin up from school and go to the grocery store. Now I am working again. Wish now I had worked instead of napping!
Nilla, I get aggravated too when they turn the camera off before 5. That is 2 or 3 minutes we miss every day!
I don't think the eagle ont he osprey cam has moved in hours. JMHO
i agree and you would think with a high polluntin company like Earthlink we could have 24/7 cam service!!! Oh no weatherman said high winds agin and more snow .. not expecting abig deal with snow but enough to make it miserable...friday morning wind could be 0 or even 10 below ,, wow not good for those eggs... Glad Belle has not laid yet..
Thats because I took a nap too, and he was sitting right there when I went to sleep
This eagle watchng can be downright exhausting LOL
Hiiiii Normaaaaaa Oh you must get over to see the nest when you make it back to Shepherdstown Norma .. Just totally awsome sight so large now...
I got to share this with U'all I told you yesterday my daughter Dawn saw a Pregrin Falcon setting in the medium of interstate and she called me so excited even came on line to look for pictures of the bird to make sure thats what she saw... Which makes me happy that maybe just maybe she might be getting interested in birds... Guess they to are migrating back from South America...
Norma i had blood work yesterday and go back to doctors friday morning at 10am... Well Norma i must get up your way and clean out your comp for you also.. we need to get that on schedule of doing things..lol
Steve, Here's hoping the part is coming via FEDEX!!!
lollllllllll right Norma around here especially at the KARATE' next door all the mothers know me as the Eagle Lady..lol Beleive me i spread the word on our eagles!!!
150 ! Wish I only had that many...I should just delete them all and be done with it....
I still have to go back to the doctor but don't know yet just when.
I deleted over 3000 emails this morning. Receiving email had gotten so slow, very frustrating. So I cleaned it out. That is a job for me that I put off until I can't stand it anymore!
AMEN Paula thats 1 way to look at it... Sometimes e-mails can get way ahead of you..
Hi all evening
Is Glo on here?
Yep Jo when I'm in chat I still have blog up watching what is going on. Only if I can't get in blog then of course it isn't up.
Hi, good day at the zoo, really crowded for awhile.. I was by the window several times...had my panda tote bag there in case anyone saw it.....tried the chat-room last week to fast pace for this hunter and pecker...like to read the posts and catch up, so guess I will be spending a lot of lonley times on the blog now that you all have this new toy:(:(:(.
Don't worry Mits I'm in both places gals ( : your not alone right now.
No one is even in Chat room right now. I can't even find Glo. I need to talk with her.
Thanks, Dana:).
Going to unpack groceries and start dinner BBIALW!
I guess since eagle is in nest BW we will have another egg sometime tomorrow. Which I won't be on after 10am and won't get back till later in evening.
2 eagles at west end.
They seem to be fixing up the nest, cam still is wet from this mornings' rain.
Thelma whats your plans for Feb 2nd?? Thats on afriday??? I was thinking depending on weather now to gather up Jo and skidaddled down there to see you for awhile...
we could go over to zoo n see Tai..lol sound like aplan???
Sounds good to me.....
Or if that doesn't work, would love to come up to Cracker Barrel or go see the nest.
Eagles still at WEST END nest...California.
Dana, I asked the cam ladies on duty what was wrong with the cams this a.m., they either didn't hear my question or ignored me:).
Mits!! I just read the first few blogs and saw your post about Temple Grandin - how was the lecture? I have wanted to see her/hear her speak for a long while! I got a notice that she was going to be speaking at the Smithsonian's lecture series, but then couldn't find a link to any further information - I wouldn't have been able to take off work anyway :(
How dare her ignore you Thelma...She is prolley the one who was running the cam like adrunk behind the wheel all over n up n down... Why didnt ya tap her on the back and say EXCUSE ME BUT...
okie dokie its your call & Jo's the nest or Tai..
Phew - finally got caught up with blogs on this thread - not gonna go back - will just hope I didn't miss anything important - thanks to folks who forwarded pics of the BW egg today! How exciting! Now I will be nervously counting the days for that lil one to hatch, hopefully.
Nilla, how's your leg? I saw that you got blood drawn and go back soon, are you feeling any relief after following (ahhh-heemmmmmm - at least supposed to be following) treatment plan?
BELLE....what and amazing woman, that's right you would have loved it. I got both her books and can't wait to read them, will send them to you after I am done, if you like. I can't imagine her life growing up, but she had a strong set of parents, that demanded certain behavior of her, she was not spoiled like I think some normal and autistic children of today are.I knew exactly what she was taking about, I've always thought I've had some sort of learning disorder, but, I see so many things in the world that people just don't notice.
Nilla, don't want to make the cam ladies angry with me.
Dinnertime...BBL!
Good evening everybody. Mits you will never be alone on this blog! This is my home!
Mits, I'm so glad you got to see her - she is amazing. I have her books, already and have read them - you will love them; but thanks for offering to lend :) We're ALL on the spectrum....
And nope you'll never be alone... I can't afford to get hooked back into a chat room - they're too addicting for me for school year, maybe come summer, though
How're you doin' Sharon? Hope the pain is less and that the abcess going away/gone?
The pain is getting less but I don't know if the abscess is gone or not. Waiting for the appointment to be set up at UVa.
Less pain is a GOOD thing :)
Less pain is a great thing.
For sure :) Congratulations to Andrew for being selected to the WVU Honor band! How AWESOME is that?? WOW :) I didn't read back, but I'm sure his performance the other day was great.
well i am in alot of pain and need cigarette..lol BUT cant take pain pill right now and been going on 6 months no cigs .. still crave!!!!
Hope everyone has a great evening - time to do some family time :) Sweet eagle and egg dreams for everyone :)
Nilla, I am so proud of you! I'm sorry that you're having the pain, but happy you're not doing any cigs - they wouldn't really help anyway - just add more trouble and then guilt on top of the pain :) NOT worth it :) You're so strong- I admire you tremendously! Sure hope the Dr. can give you some relief- Friday, right?
yes Friday No Belle i have not returned to smoking but like i said still crave at times really bad.. and this night happens to be one of them...
Have a {{{{{{hug}}}}}}} instead :) they're not smelly *I did take a shower* and they're good for you :)
well best get downstairs before I get hollered at for still bein on the 'puter... Love to all - Nilla, call if you need a voice to quiet those cravings :)
I'll be here too, Mits.
Wax :)
Number 10 is at SANTA CRUZ...
Congrats on the wax, Paula. I'm so comfortable on the blog and to me it is a much more stress-free enviroment to watch the eagles and pandas. I know it acts up all the time...wish it could be fixed permanently, but I like when people like Belle drop in, that we don't get to hear from often and the UK girls, its like being in the living room and people are stopping by for a visit.
1 EAGLE AT WEST END.
NOW 2 EAGLES AT WE.........
2ND EAGLE JUST LANDED AT SANTA CRUZ...
They are really busy in that nest...
HI, DON'T KNOW IF IT'S VIDEO OR REAL TIME, BUT THERE'S SOME NEST BUILDING, BILLING ACTION ON THE SANTA CRUZ NEST.
JIM
1 eagle at west end, eating..that one shuts down soon.
SORRY AT WORK AND DIDN'T READ THE COMMENTS.
SHOULD BE ABOUT DARK ON SANTA CRUZ THOUGH, WHICH MADE ME THINK IT MIGHT BE A VIDEO.
CAN YOU TELL?
JIM
Been watching that tonight,Jim!
It's getting darker, Jim. I've been watching them for awhile now, one keeps flying in and out and with the sound I can hear them before I see them.
Just settled in from being out to dinner with family.
Norma you may be family member #30 anytime, gal!
Sad Note
There are no guarantees in the ARMY
Just received call from my NY gal - Patrick was scheduled home end of FEB. Tour of duty has been extended for his group until JUNE.
March Disney world reservations canceled & flight money refunded. Some of the men were already back - some men's items were packed & had
already arrived at Ft Drum - now men & belongings are going back on the planes to Afghanistan.
My heart aches for Samantha who was telling School that her daddy would be back in 2 weeks! She wanted daddy to see her missing tooth. I told her Mom that I am sure she can handle the situation and keep Samantha happy! She's a good mom. Puts her daughter's feelings first.
Jo, you have mail....so sorry.
Jim, Santa Cruz is in the dark now.
Thanks, Mits.
BlackWater Eagle Cam Page has an
UPDATE FROM LISA
Yes, I saw the update, thanks, Jo.
Nice update from Lisa....love her!
Lisa doesn't miss a trick. She answered everything & anything anyone could ask
Paula The trip down to BW in March is a Must Meet Lisa Trip.
I just finsihed watching the video on BW site.
I think Lisa really loves her job and it shows big time...I'm amazed that she and Lynda and Lorraine and Gary take the time to respond to my questions and concerns.
NILLA MITS MAIL CALL
OKIE-DOKIE....MOMMA AT BW IS REALLY ALERT TONIGHT.
It does amaze me also Mits at their responses! I even get good ones from beakspeak's Jason!
I guess that's why the saying
Birds of a Feather Flock Together
Sharon Are you still working???
I feel it is time for a snack -
Had email from Megan today-she is doing ok!
Blog has not been nice to her....
Great minds think alike...I'm in a snack mood. I talked to her by e-mail today also, I miss her, but was glad she was ok, took a great shot of the eagles at BW, hope she sent it to Lisa.
Mema Jo, I am not working. Been watching American Idol with Mattie. I do not like that show but she loves it.
Been watching the BW Lady. Sure do wish I could watch Liberty and Belle too!
Yep I have our sitll cam up too. I just keep hoping it will clear up or Belle will pop in and I didn't get to watch Mama BW last night so I am watching her too.
There is nothing on TV tonight...just watching the BW eagle and doing e-mails, hubby told me to go read a book, just ignored him.:):)
Snack is all done!
Tell Mattie Hi from all the Eagle Ladies!
I doubt if Megan sent it to Lisa - I forgot to ask her.
I just opened our eagle cam too - wishful thinking!
Funny of the Day: At restaurant the waitress looked right at Alexis (2 yr old) and asked her what did she want to drink? No one said anything & Ally said 'milk'. The waitress said to her - white or chocolate & she said, Choc o late! She then told the waitress she wanted applesauce & a cheeseburger! She is something else!
"Paula The trip down to BW in March is a Must Meet Lisa Trip. "
I guess we should start talking about this!! Who's going?? We need to email Lisa and tell her we want to meet her!!
"I just finsihed watching the video on BW site."
Now, I downloaded that and forgot to watch it!!! BRB....
Hello.....
Paula...what video are you talking about.?
echo Helloooooo
Echo Echo Echo
What's going on in here that no one can find anyone?
LOL I can find all of you. Not going to blackwater in march though you all talked me out of that.
Dana You always said you could tell Belle from Liberty by their tails. (I usually look at their size but if they are not together, I can be wrong) Ok Question: BW Pair
Can I tell them by their tails or their wings when they are nesting?
Mail Call Glo
I'm here....just looking at weatherunderground pictures for eagles or cardinals.
well can I answer that quesiton because I thnk Mam BW sits with her feather s spread and dad doesn't JMHO
Them being younger Jo I've been trying to go by the beak. She has a longer beak.
Yes, GLO I had noticed that also. Ok I'll try the beak for awhile.
I LIKE THOSE SANTA CRUZ & WEST BEND
ORANGE NUMBERED WING MARKERS !!
Got it Mema Jo Thanks
She is checking or rolling egg?
BlackWater LADY SURE LOOKING DOWN UNDER RIGHT NOW
She has her head completely under her chest. Maybe aomething else is going on.
Head is back up.
Lisa didn't mention anything about the cam being changed to 10 sec... She had said something at the end of last season I think.
Now I know we didn't see a change BUT that is a different bird on the nest
I betcha!
Think you are right, Jo lots of action going on.
Hello again...I see the wanderers have returned!
Now that is a different tail, isn't it?
Don't wander too far, Paula, just get onto other sites and lose track of time.
Is Megan locked out of the blog again?
I hear ya, Mits...been doing the same myself!
I'm guessing it is a different tail BUT maybe it is just the way the wings are being held... I need to look at tail feathers closer.
Guess it really doesn't matter as long as one of them are keeping that egg warm. Wonder if she'll lay one more or two more?
Megan with her dial up is sorta locked out of the blog. She said it is so slow to even try to post.
Ya Know, I think I remember that about the BW cam going off at 11 from last season...although I thought it was midnight...which it might be when the time changes,....which is really cool because it will change to daylight savings time on March 11 this year...it is now 3 weeks earlier and 3 weeks later for daylight savings time each year...
I think it is she, and maybe al though I didn't get ot watch last night she was restless for a while. NOW that would matter if it is HE LOL
I was looking at my calender yesterday and am so happy about the longer days coming earlier. Better for eagle watching also.
Now Paula - you're confusing me with the time and
Glo - you're confusing me with the sexes
lol
Time and Sex...hmmmm
Heading off to bed, can't hold out til 11 for the eagle shut down...GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
Good Night Mits
Good Night Mits
GOOD NIGHT MITS
I hope that Mits has a Good Night!
Night Glo & Paula
I am ready to call it a day...
Good Night All
Pleasant dreams & Peaceful sleep
Prayers are going up for everyone
Good Morning Suzanne - It is already Thursday for you!
Night Jo sleep tight
Mema Jo, did you mean GOOD NIGHT MITS? :):):)
Going to bed now. Mattie is a-snoring in my bed! :):):)
Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feather and fur!
Good Night Sharon and Dana
Night all, heading to lala land, too!
LOL Mema Jo . Good night all.
Good Morning, Everyone...
Things are starting to happen, besides the egg at BW, I see significant building on all three sites on the Catalina link...talk about sudden...for months there was almost no activity on any of them, and then WHAMO! ...they all start serious work on them.
Kent looks well along on the building plan.
Happy watching, People.. [:=)}
Jim
Morning Suz... Just up long enough to check cams and take apill... She is asleep still with head tucked under wing as you said... Heck Mei & Tai arent up yet neither...almost 5:45am usually they are up. Yes wind is suppose to pick up and be very cold this weekend... Back to bed i go for some more Zzzzzzzzz , Have a great day Suz... Good Morning 2 Everyone else also when U'all git here... Hugs, Nilla
I hope Sandra is doing ok as she was having a problem with her eyes the other day perhaps allergies? Hey Sandra Hugs 2 U
Morning Suzanne see Nilla was in.
Still only 1 egg huh.
Glad you read what Lisa wrote hope it helps you not to drink (kidding).
ok ty for asking.
Yea if we hadn't read Lisa's comments I think we all would have given up on the egg she has laid.
I thought she would have laid another one by now though. Maybe sometime today or tomorrow.
I'll be gone most of day so lay your egg lady BW lol
I see our cam still has lines...
She is isn't she so if that is same couple then he is on the egg.
She is squawking at something Suzanne.
Good morning, my friends of feathers. It is snowing in Bluefield and we are supposed to get 2-4 inches today. I am starting to work now. I hope everybody has a wonderful eagle watching day!
Morning Sharon.
2-4 inches of snow huh well we are suppose to get some hope ours is light because we have driving to do today. Be gone all morning back towards evening.
Sharon I can't find my Bluefield cam site . What is it please
Ok found my Jefferson Cam for Bluefield. Yep Sharon you all have snow and it surely is snowing now.
She just finished squawking at something again.
Suzanne there is still food in the osprey nest. Do you think she is leaving that for him?
Suzanne we have to stop this we are thinking too much alike this morning lol...looking at our comments hee hee
well its 6 degrees here. I am leaving for coffee and dog treats because I am crazy.....
About my dogs and my neighbors. Hope everyone enjoys there day. Maybe not only eagles from BW but also NCTC..hoping anyway.
8:13amEST eagle has left the osprey nest. He is up off egg in eagle nest. One egg showing. Let's see if there is a changing of the guard. I think so not sure...Suzanne did they change???
Well a fishcrow is in the osprey nest.
I measured him in the nest with a piece of paper and marked the length and width.
When she came in and has settled down. I put the paper markings up to her. Believe it or not she and he are about the same width. Although she is longer.
Do you notice Suzanne that she spreads her feathers in the nest where he doesn't.
I didn't type it but lol was thinking since Dad hadn't showed up at the leftovers (none now fishcrow got them) that he was out fishing for his own fish to eat ...lol Suzanne.
Glo you in here Hi Good Morning
Steven, if you read this, could you tell us approximately how long it is supposed to take to get the voltage regulator in?
Yes Suzanne with her wings spread like that she is alittle wider than him then. Like I said when she has her wings closed they are same width but she is longer.
One way to tell her against him is she sits in nest sometimes with wings spread like she is now. He does not spead his wings.
Oh sorry Hi Norma it is 27 degrees here and calling for snow. Sharon is really getting it. I am watching the Jefferson cam there at her home town.
She just left switch 8:47:54 he is with the egg again.
Suzanne he must have eaten his fish up in the limbs of the tree.
Well one good thing has happened egg is not unattended (oh I hope I'm not speaking too soon)...
Suzanne she or eagle is at osprey nest.
She must say to him "look I'm the one laying these eggs which means I'm sitting here longer than you. So you take over again, I need some air" lol
Norma read some of Suzanne and my comments about the eagle in eagle nest and eagle at Osprey nest.
Eagle at the NE/NU nest!
Yep Maine cam has been broken for awhile now. I miss that site because I love hearing the eagles calling back and forth.
Both eagles now!
They are a beautiful pair too!
Both eagles were at Nu nest 1 flew away.
Really nice live video of eagle fixing up nest at NE sorry before said Nu.
I think I just saw the shadow of the eagles at NU/NE doing the nasty up in the tree! :):):)
You could see the shadow of the eagle at NE flying up into tree to sit on limb. Now seeing it flap is wings (the shadow of it doing it).
Last season it was NU and this season I guess it is NE. Confusing!
Hi all! How is everyone? I'm still lurking...miss you all!!
I forwarded an article to the Momsters yahoo group, thought y'all would enjoy reading it...
