Wednesday Update

I'm starting to sound like a broken record...the guys are doing what they can to alleviate these continued problems. The control boxes are not accessible due to the ice and they are afraid to make a big ruckus under the nest right now. I'm pushing as hard as I can...

Wow, first thanks Steve for all your efforts !

Just Vicky said...

Well then again, blue is tranquil (sigh)

glo said...

Thanks for the info Steve...of ocurse emotions are pretty much on a roller coaster these days but letting us know news as you get access to it helps some to stay positive.

floralgirl said...

BLUE, I'm so BLUE...I want the cam to work too, but whatever you do, do not disturb those nesting eagles that would pretty much defeat the whole purpose of the cam, which is to observe the eagles while not disrupting them.

Mema Jo said...

Steve, we appreciate all the efforts you are making. I am certain that you are as frustrated about the cam as much as we are. Keeping us posted is most helpful in keeping the interest up for all of the eagle watchers. There are 10 other cams that we can observed but OUR cam is the most important Eagle Family to us.

Mema Jo said...

Checked in at DC zoo - looks like a fair amount of visitors there. Tai is playing Hide-and-Seek with the camera crew as he is running all over the yard.
ButaButa is finally out in the day room. I wasn't watching to see if LunLun brought her out or if she came out on her own.

Off to check the Eagle Cams..........

Mema Jo said...

Both eagles at TH nest & WE, VA & MD of course has the nesting eagle on the egg(s). One eagle also in NE nest...
No one home at Kent,SC, ME or CO right now.. The FL cam is soooo close to the nest that you feel one of the sticks could poke you in the eye!
Yeper! WV is still BLUE.
That's all 11!

Where's Mits with the blow torch?

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Steven for the update. Yep we know she is in there and sitting on 3 eggs again. Nope don't bother her. Yes we would like our cam to work as good IF NOT BETTER than the other cams.

We're sending "hot wax" all the time to melt things. When "hot wax" isn't needed we just send "power wax" lol.....

Mema Jo said...

The cam is turning to GREEN and sometimes Half GREEN and Half BLUE.
Maybe it is thawing! BBL

Just Vicky said...

Mema Jo, would like very much to think you are right --- BUT,

MITS said...

HELLO, back from the ZOO, Jo, glad you got to see TAI running around like a puppy, it was about an hour after he had eaten his fruit-cycle, must have been on a sugar high. He would start at the top of the hill, race down full speed, squeeze between a crevice and climb halfway up a tree. When the crowd reacted, he would do it all over again LMBO...you might have heard me. Not only at night are they separating Mei and Tai ,but by noon all 3 are in their own yards, and Tai seems delighted to be on his own, doesn't have to fight for food. Only other animals out on the trail were the red pandas and the otters, some of the exhibits still have much ice on them and are to dangerous for keepers and animals. Lots of people and the weather was great:):):)

MITS said...

See our cam still has the blues, are it is getting ready for ST PATRICK'S DAY??? PAULA, thinking a blow torch might be helpful....course not to keen about spending the rest of my life in federal prison:(.

MITS said...

Both eagles at VA, and the 1 is turning the eggs.

MITS said...

Switcharoo,

MITS said...

PAULA, Am I still seeing just 1 egg at WEST END? And they raised the viewing time to 10 minutes now:):).

MITS said...

Eagles busy in and out at WE.

Mema Jo said...

It is such a peaceful quiet place, here on the blog. I am going to tiptoe out and not make any noise.
BBL to check on things.

MITS said...

I'm here, Jo, will be in and out for awile til criminal minds come on....going to cruise around the west coast.

floralgirl said...

Looks like the leprechauns are wreaking havoc with the cam...

MITS said...

Cam, there's a cam...tee-hee.

MITS said...

It's not easy being GREEN!

MITS said...

Eagle at TH is showing alot of her white tail feathers.

MITS said...

Lisa has put up the votes for the mystery bird at the osprey nest, most votes an "american kestrel". Don't think I have ever seen one. My personal favorite was someone said it looked like a robin that turned blue.

MITS said...

EAGLE AT KENT.

MITS said...

BOTH AT KENT NOW.

Mema Jo said...

Beautiful KENT

Mema Jo said...

I am realizing that cam 3 is the last to refresh. I thought for a min we had four eagles in that tree..lol

MITS said...

BOTH ARE ON THE LIMB.

floralgirl said...

Well, I've seen lots of kestrels and that does not look like a kestrel,JMHO-more like a kingbird or a swallow.

MITS said...

Yes, I noticed that also, Jo.

MITS said...

I will take your word on that one, Megan.

MITS said...

OOOPPPSS, got to go watch Criminal Minds..BBIALW.

Mema Jo said...

If you go on beakspeak.com there is a cam listed now for the Ranger Steve's Kestrel Cam. It really could be one.

Mema Jo said...

BBL

floralgirl said...

I'm looking, Jo

Mema Jo said...

Megan, did get the work van fixed?

floralgirl said...

To me it justs looks smaller than a kestrel, but I suppose it could be a male, really hard to tell cause it's such a small pic.

floralgirl said...

Well, it finally started this morning, and off he went. It is my market van he's using right now, really on its last legs.

Mema Jo said...

As long as he doesn't have to go too far to his job site - otherwise, you might have to go pick him up one day.
The van is used to going to market & home!

floralgirl said...

Well, sometimes he does have to go pretty far...keeping my fingers crossed whenever he leaves in that clunker.

Mema Jo said...

BW NEST UPDATE

Mema Jo said...

Mystery Bird Votes are also in on the Osprey Nest Update

Mema Jo said...

After reading Lisa's Nest Updates and seeing the pics she used as examples, I am getting excited that within a week BW could very well have an eaglet in that nest. I would suspect that Belle's eggs would start hatching in March....I had forgotten how little an eaglet is when first born.

MITS said...

Let's hope the green monster is gone by then.

Mema Jo said...

I am sitting here yawning away!
I'm calling it a day..I told Mits that this Bus Duty gets to be by early evening.

Good Night Friends
Pleasant dreams & peaceful sleep
Prayers for everyone being said



Good Morning, Suzanne. It's only Thursday - hang in there

MITS said...

Goodnight, Jo...schools finally on time tomorrow.

MITS said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE

sandyshaw said...

I've tried to post twice. Way too tired to fight this. Jo, I passed the future juice bar today, good luck to them. We'll trly to drink a juice a day. Please stay there for me.

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY IN EAGLE LAND...

Lost the comment to the evil genies again, but have a great day anyway.

Jim

MITS said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! EAGLE up in Maine...Suz, I have the exact same questions regarding the banana:).

MITS said...

Never mind eagle in Maine just took off.

MITS said...

EAGLE AT CO.

MITS said...

Wet EAGLE AT VA.

MITS said...

BACK AT MAINE.

MITS said...

I know it was Megan, and, maybe Dana also. I have 3 very ripe bananas. Can't slice them now too mushy, but could freeze them, and, then slice. Did I send you the note I got from Loraine at Kent yesterday? They do not expect eggs laid til the middle of March.

glo said...

Good Morning all. Wish you a Great Eagle Viewing day. MTBR

MITS said...

Sometimes Megan has trouble getting in, trying to keep the door open for her.:)

MITS said...

The EAGLE CAM WEBLOG AT BW, made for some very interesting reading and wonderful pictures, I've learned alot from Lisa.

MITS said...

Our cam can't decide if it wants to be blue or green this a.m.

MITS said...

Well, WE can't do anything:(.

MITS said...

:):):)! And my question would be...WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO CATCH A 900 LB SQIUD?????

MITS said...

Suzanne, you have mail.

MITS said...

LOL...where would they find a pot large enought to cook it.....

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning Mits & Suzanne
Just saw an eagle at BW osprey and one on NE.. Didn't check out the others yet. I did see Tai with Mei out in the yard... Thanks, Mits for the info that they are together only up until noon time. Guess Tai really feels all grown up.
Megan said that the Mockingbird is the one that likes bananas. I thought she was speaking of the peels. Don't you think you would need to dice them up?

Mema Jo said...

Have you checked out FtStVrain nest?
Went over to the daily pics but couldn't see any egg on them. It may be happening soon as looks like nesting.

Mema Jo said...

Suzanne, I think she said apple cores.

Mema Jo said...

Both eagles in CO nest now.

Mema Jo said...

Both eagles gone from CO nest..Pretty fast birds!

Mema Jo said...

Eagle on CAM #1 at KENT.....

MITS said...

MITS said...

Mei and Tai are in the newest exhibit, it was closed for a week, because of the ice.

MITS said...

Mema Jo said...

Glo It is melting BIG TIME here. Temps were high yesterday & projected again for today.

Mema Jo said...

Oh where Oh where did my Lord & Lady go? More then 5 min I think off those eggs.

MITS said...

Suz, I'll have to check around and see if I still have the pic of WE egg, might still be in my OE.

Mema Jo said...

I need to 'hit the showers' but don't care to leave until BW nest is covered!

MITS said...

C'mon Lady B, get back on those eggs.

Mema Jo said...

Suzanne, on the WE site you can go into DISCUSSIONS and see some of the pics of the egg. You can go in as a Guest.

Mema Jo said...

OK I've got to hit the shower - appointment at 11:15 then I'll be going up to granddaughter's to visit. Keep your eye on BW Been about 15 min ....
