You are right about the Kent nest. I just tuned in, she was standing in the nest and he was on cam 1. Then, about 7:12, she laid down as though testing the nest for size, he alighted on her back and they mated.
I still haven't made a cup of coffee, so you probably know what I'm doing for the next few.... (an eagle cup, of course. Thanks, Glo.)
Morning Mits - I was over at BW site. Lisa updated yesterday on Eagle Web Log She is giving lots of info on the Open House March 11. Also mentioned Osprey being featured on Animal Planet on February 26 at 8pm ET, Animal Planet will air a program called "Incredible Journeys: Osprey Odyssey."
One Eagle still at Kent - up on the limb. NE nest looks like a wind storm hit! Sticks all over the place. I'm glad you saw an eagle there this am, Paula. Eagle is nesting in VA- Surprised I got the cam to open.
Jo, my sister just e-mailed me, that Tai wanted to nurs this a.m. and Mei wanted to sleep, and she knocked him down and he just laid there for awile and them got up and ate some bamboo.
Made it! And my Chanticleer is back. It is warming up in Shepherdstown, much melting going on, no wind. My husband has stopped taking all his meds except his heart meds, and now feels much better. We were worried about possible infection in his new knee but it seems to be ok. A humidifier and saline nasal spray has eased Mother's shortness of breath, so she slept better last night.We're taking one day at a time.
The birds are definitely feeling the effects of the longer days--singing, chasing, nesting.
Actually, I'm going to get dressed as soon as I finish a bacon sandwich on English Muffin bread and write a check to send in snail mail. I expect all the pajama bunch will be dressing about now.
Hi Sandra, I am so glad you were able to get in here. We've missed you. I've been checking but not seeing any falcon yet on Shenandoah - I just love looking at it. Can't imagine chicks being raised on that one small ledge! I am so glad to hear about your hubby & mother's conditions improving!
Hi, Jo, I'm watching those Shenandoah cams too, they're so beautiful. And I've seen the burrowing owl several times. I've been reading the blog, even if I can't get in, and always enjoy it.
Humans have had a unique relationship with raptors, nature's aerial killing machines, for more than four thousand years, first through the ancient sport of falconry, and, more recently, as scientists and engineers have turned to these mighty birds-from golden eagles, red-tailed hawks, and turkey vultures, to great gray owls and the peregrine falcon-as the inspiration for the latest in aircraft design. Using the tricks and tactics of raptors as their model, engineers have devised fighter jets with unprecedented maneuverability and stealth.
In RAPTOR FORCE, you'll learn the secrets of these astonishing aerialists, and how they've mastered, more than any other type of bird, the art of soaring. And with the help of engineer and falconer Rob MacIntyre's ingenious miniature television station-a camera, transmitter, and battery small enough to be harnessed onto the backs of raptors--you'll see for yourself what it's like to fly with these deadly aces.
NATURE'S RAPTOR FORCE premieres Sunday, February 18 at 8 p.m. (ET) on PBS (check your local listings)
Sounds like a good program, Sandra...just got dressed, must dry hair now. Been watching the Shenendoah site also, that will be an interesting one to watch.
Vicky is on her return trip home now ,probably about 2 hours away. We did see lots of eagles and also dealt with about 3 to 4 inches of snow which timed itself between yesterday's trip and todays. It was such fun to be able to share this with a friend who is also well ya know a little crazy about these particular birds. I will be adding a Filmloop to the For the love of eagles BLOG in a very short time. Click my name to go see just a few of the photos...will do videos a little bit later on. So glad also to see the cam and some awfully special eagles continuing to care for those eggs in their snowy nest.
I am home. Mits, if you were watching the Jefferson cam at about the same time you posted, we rode by there and I waved at the camera. I never know when somebody might be watching. That is funny.
Hey Megan! What did you do all day? Go sledding yet? Our yard is still a sheet of ice. How's the GH?
If you want to work part time & still grow flowers, you're going to need an irrigation set up to water your flowers. Michael said he would come show you what to do!!! no charge...
Well, Jo, worked this afternoon for a while, no sledding, daughter abandoned us for the weekend. Went to friend's house again, they are working on a school project together, and just hanging out. She said she would see us Monday. Hard to walk around the yard it's so icy. Gh is good, almost time to start seeds inside under grow lights, don't want to have to heat GH yet, use kerosene to do so, it is $2.79 a gal.! OUCH! Michael's offer is definitely tempting!
Michael & Melissa & their 3 youngsters are looking for a place over in Shepherdstown. Krista lives there and Michael's brother & wife do also. Michael's brother is opening a Juice Bar right on main street in the very near future.
Thank you Mema Jo! My trip home this evening was a little risky, ran into a lot of ice on I74, wrecks happening all over but I made it with no problems!
Well, then you can come see me at market all summer, Jo, cause so many of your relatives will be in Shepherdstown. We are going to invite Paula to bring her eagle Momster's info and set up a table possibly a couple of weekends during the season. She says she is willing to do so, we just have to come up with some dates and work out details with her.
Hi, Jo, I've been watching episodes of "DOG, THE BOUNTY HUNTER", that I have missed, because I'm always watching House when it comes on Tuesdays.....Hey, Sharon, glad you had a good day and you are home safe and sound. That is great news about Paula, setting up a stand near you Megan.
Yes, it should be a great way to promote the cam and raise some money, told them they can set the table right by my stand:) Gave up on TV, can't wrestle the remote away from hubby. Listening to the radio and reading seed catalogs.
Evening, all. Just got back from a basketball game at the Mount. Last home game of the season. They were ahead the whole game except last couple of minutes. Lost by 1 point. Real Heartbreaker!
Looks like our cam is hanging in there. This break in the weather is coming none too soon! :)
Good night, Mits! Yep, Paula, anything I can do to promote the eagels I will do it! Tried to get in touch with Todd H., wonder if he ever sells any of his pics on his own, hmm.... maybe we could have an eagle weekend...with an eagle expert answering questions...thinking of an event to bring people and their kids to the mkt.
Yeah, need to see if Steve W. might be interested in speaking about the eagles and answering questions. You should be able to display and hopefully sell some merchandise from the site. I did know the images you have used were Todd's. Just thinking about how we could have an "eagle Sunday" at the mkt., sure Steve would have lots of info that would interest people. Like to make it a real event that would bring people to the mkt. and really promote the cam. Anyway, I'm going to call it a day, wanna get up early tomorrow, and get my work out of the way early. Nite.
Good morning all. I m studying my sunday school lesson a little bit before SS. Mema Jo AND ALL THE MOMSTERS WHO KOW HOW I HAVE WANTED SOME SNOW, Guess what????????? We have an inch and a half of snow. It is the first snwo we have had to stick all winter long, but it has stoPped and if the sun comes out THERE WILL BE CLASSES TOMORROW. A BLESSED DAY FOR ALL OF YOU TODAY. HOPE THE CAM COMES BACK ON WITH THE SUN WARMUP PREDICTED TODAY. BE BACK AFTER CHURCH. LOVE MAULEY
Well been up since 5am. Doing different setup for firewall, antivirus and spyware. Doing update to Windows Internet Explorer 7 (don't know how I'll like that one)....tired hitting the hay for a little while longer.

So thankful to see eagle in OUR nest. Thanks Steve for another new thread.
Paula You got some wax with your heads up email!
Paula Guess we need to keep our eyes opened to see if OUR eagle lifts its head concerning the cam -
but I am thinking the worst!
WHOOO HOOO! The head has lifted! Must just be a heavy sleeper.
MOrning, Jo! Eagle must have been doing some serious preening...or cam was stuck...maybe some of both....but looks good now.

You are right about the Kent nest. I just tuned in, she was standing in the nest and he was on cam 1. Then, about 7:12, she laid down as though testing the nest for size, he alighted on her back and they mated.

Hi, Mits
Looks like you're all alone. I'm trying to get in again.
Made it! And my Chanticleer is back. It is warming up in Shepherdstown, much melting going on, no wind. My husband has stopped taking all his meds except his heart meds, and now feels much better. We were worried about possible infection in his new knee but it seems to be ok. A humidifier and saline nasal spray has eased Mother's shortness of breath, so she slept better last night.We're taking one day at a time.
The birds are definitely feeling the effects of the longer days--singing, chasing, nesting.
Yes, Sandra, but that is ok. How are things going for you? I'm going to get dressed now...so, I will BRB.
Actually, I'm going to get dressed as soon as I finish a bacon sandwich on English Muffin bread and write a check to send in snail mail. I expect all the pajama bunch will be dressing about now.
Hi Sandra, I am so glad you were able to get in here. We've missed you. I've been checking but not seeing any falcon yet on Shenandoah - I just love looking at it. Can't imagine chicks being raised on that one small ledge!
I am so glad to hear about your hubby & mother's conditions improving!
**Just got dressed! <:) So I'm still in the club!
Hi, Jo, I'm watching those Shenandoah cams too, they're so beautiful. And I've seen the burrowing owl several times. I've been reading the blog, even if I can't get in, and always enjoy it.
Here's a TV heads up for eagle lovers:

We all knew you were right there with us all the time!
I keep checking the burrowing owl & have also seen him a few times.
Thanks for the infor on the TV show - That will be awesome to soar with an eagle. I put it on my calendar!
Sounds like a good program, Sandra...just got dressed, must dry hair now. Been watching the Shenendoah site also, that will be an interesting one to watch.
Tai is sleeping up the tree.
Need to go do some things around the house.. BBL
Hello, just checking in:) doing laundry:(.
I can hear the eagles at ME, but can't see them yet.

Vicky is on her return trip home now ,probably about 2 hours away. We did see lots of eagles and also dealt with about 3 to 4 inches of snow which timed itself between yesterday's trip and todays. It was such fun to be able to share this with a friend who is also well ya know a little crazy about these particular birds.

Still snowing in Bluefield..
Hello!
Snowing here cleaned parking space "covered" and cars ... don't know how much we are suppose to get.7:38ESTpm
Hi
Huh, not snowing here, Dana. Don't think it was really supposed to amount to much. Hi Glo!
I am home. Mits, if you were watching the Jefferson cam at about the same time you posted, we rode by there and I waved at the camera. I never know when somebody might be watching. That is funny.
So, how was your day, Sharon?
Hello again. In for the evening now.
Beautiful eagle in KENT nest
Hey Jo!
Snowing here now:(
Some flakes of snow are starting - Just to be a dusting.
Hey Megan! What did you do all day? Go sledding yet? Our yard is still a sheet of ice. How's the GH?
If you want to work part time & still grow flowers, you're going to need an irrigation set up to water your flowers. Michael said he would come show you what to do!!! no charge...
My day was really good.
Mits Did you see Sharon waving at you? Are you watching CSI?
Sharon I am so glad you had a great day being a proud Momma!
Glo Happy you had a good weekend with Vicky & anxious to see the loop and videos.
Dana So glad you can rest easy about your sister being taken care of.
Kent Eagle up on the limb on Cam 1
Well, Jo, worked this afternoon for a while, no sledding, daughter abandoned us for the weekend. Went to friend's house again, they are working on a school project together, and just hanging out. She said she would see us Monday. Hard to walk around the yard it's so icy. Gh is good, almost time to start seeds inside under grow lights, don't want to have to heat GH yet, use kerosene to do so, it is $2.79 a gal.! OUCH! Michael's offer is definitely tempting!
No, no, no, I ain't taking that wax!
Hey Megan Put that wax on the GH roof & the ice will slide right off!
What an awesome 2 days Eagling I have had! AND such a wonderful tour guide -- Ms. Glo!
Too much wax buildup will block the sun!
Michael & Melissa & their 3 youngsters are looking for a place over in Shepherdstown. Krista lives there and Michael's brother & wife do also. Michael's brother is opening a Juice Bar right on main street in the very near future.
Welcome Home Vicky. Glad you had a safe trip & such an enjoyable one.
Then Megan I don't know what you're going to do with the 100 lbs of wax because you for sure got it..lol
Glad you made it home safe, Vicky! You are becoming quite the traveling eagle fanatic! LOL
Thank you Mema Jo! My trip home this evening was a little risky, ran into a lot of ice on I74, wrecks happening all over but I made it with no problems!
You bet I'm a traveling fool for eagles!!!!
Waiting to hear when the Spring Nest Date is for our nest!
Well, then you can come see me at market all summer, Jo, cause so many of your relatives will be in Shepherdstown. We are going to invite Paula to bring her eagle Momster's info and set up a table possibly a couple of weekends during the season. She says she is willing to do so, we just have to come up with some dates and work out details with her.
Sounds great, Megan. I love the market - especially the people.
I did go over & watch the Film Loop-AWESOME !!!
I started watching Criminal Minds..
so I'll be back at 10.
Hi, Jo, I've been watching episodes of "DOG, THE BOUNTY HUNTER", that I have missed, because I'm always watching House when it comes on Tuesdays.....Hey, Sharon, glad you had a good day and you are home safe and sound. That is great news about Paula, setting up a stand near you Megan.
Yes, it should be a great way to promote the cam and raise some money, told them they can set the table right by my stand:) Gave up on TV, can't wrestle the remote away from hubby. Listening to the radio and reading seed catalogs.
I think there is ALL-STAR DUNK contest on.
Thanks Glo just watched the video.
Wow Vicky you can now say you seen "alot" of eagles. Mature and immature.
Look like fun.
Wonder if Vicky has the most miles log for eagles?
Evening, all. Just got back from a basketball game at the Mount. Last home game of the season. They were ahead the whole game except last couple of minutes. Lost by 1 point. Real Heartbreaker!
Looks like our cam is hanging in there. This break in the weather is coming none too soon! :)

Good night, Mits! Yep, Paula, anything I can do to promote the eagels I will do it! Tried to get in touch with Todd H., wonder if he ever sells any of his pics on his own, hmm.... maybe we could have an eagle weekend...with an eagle expert answering questions...thinking of an event to bring people and their kids to the mkt.
