WEAGLE ALERT!
Thanks for the new thread, Steven. Belle is in our nest as we speak! Her 3rd visit today.
Thanks for the heads up, Sunny.
Morning everyone.
Steven any more reports on Belle and Lib mating??
All gone. Didn't see her leave.
MAYBE there's a chick in the CO nest this morning? One was due over the weekend. The picture at 6:38:19 doesn't quite look like an egg she's tucking in, and it looks like she's spending more time up off the eggs.
Bw parent was back for a sec, now gone. Kent is having a very windy bad hair day! Alert osprey in our nest, something disturbed him/her. PA falcon dad on bar, mom on nest. Getting dawn in WA, osprey cam.
WA osprey cam is giving me fits. Not working well at the moment.
Just had a switch at Kent.
Good Morning everyone. Hope your weekend was special. Mine certainly ended like something I oculd never have imagined. I am working hard today to complile the many photos and videos I took yesterday as I watched Dr Sharpe place those 3 little chicks into the nest with their family. I am so very amazed at watching the response of the adults as they discover what the return visit of the Human to our nest Will be fun to watch them continue to care for and raise their little ones now.
Excited to see lib and Belle continue to be at the nest frequently. Keeping my hopes up for more excitement right here int he days to come.
Hey Suz, got yesterdays videos of the West End chick exchange on the blog,
eagletmomsters.blogspot.com
The Catalina Hatchings are all over the news now, especially since they had that piece on the Today show and the weekend news yesterday. You can view it at

Paula, awesome video! Brought tears to my eyes and had to laugh too! Too funny, when they all FINALLY joined Wray(?), and then the little eaglet gets out of the nest cut and strolls off. They all look at it like "what is that and where is it going?" Oh thank you, viewing that made my day!!! They showed Dr Sharpe feeding the eaglets yesterday on the TODAY show. I'm glad they're getting positive publicity!
It was great watching it, Suz. Finally 01 went out and caught a fish and they fed the chicks dinner last night before bedtime....already feeding them again this morning, too.
Time for me to hit the road, leaving early. All have a great eagle day! Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly@
OH, I'm glad they're feeding the chicks. Wasn't too sure I wanted to know, from the way the adults were acting at first. Phew, so so glad to hear that!!
I heard Barton's Cove 2nd egg was hatching yesterday....but all I am getting today there is BLUE
WHAT is wrong with that Panda at the zoo still in heat ?? Very vocal and running around dragging bamboo back n forth , up on top of rocks splashing in the water with paws wow just really wild... But cant tell which it its i think Tai was sleeping down in front of windows.. More scent markings n vocal...
That surely has to be Tian he is rubbing n rubbing scent marking at the door... Tai is asleep
Good monday morning, everyone.
I seem to be signed in again with a new Google account...every time I visit the blog dashboard area (or anything connected) I get more confused...............
I didn't know anything about it to start with???????????????? How can I get more confused??
I need more coffee, talk to you later. I guess there's no action here yet anyway.
Jim
Eagles Eaglets Everywhere
There are so many good events happening. WEnest is such a good example of it all! Superb!
KATE I hope we soon get a clear pic at CO - I agree with you that they have had a hatching-Would love to see to make certain.
NE SITE Hopefully blue screen doesn't mean bad weather for them.
Cam 2 at zoo has Tai Shan sleeping .. just adorable lil guy...
good Morning all. I had to come to work to get a rest. It was a beautiful weekend. My little egret is gone. Cant find her anywhere and so is mom. Hope everything is OK. Hope they headed for the river. Liberty and Belle are still fooling around. This is worse than false labor in the 9th month.Someone needs to talk to that girl. Back later.
Hi Nilla I missed the zoo commotion this am - I'm not sure but I think they were keeping Mei indoors. Tian could still be in heat(poor guy).
Your trip still on for FL end of month? Lucky gal!
I am out of here for the afternoon
BBL
Both eagles visiting the nest tree in Kent.
Jim
Finally got onto Barton's Cove - they know there are issues there, (I just sent around an email about that) - The second chick has hatched! Watched Mom bring in 2 fish within 10 minutes......now feeding the chicklets...
Somebody is home!
Liberty and Belle are both home!
Eagle alert.
I think Belle just took off and Lib is still there.
I think it's the reverse, Sharon...
Good afternoon all. I was sitting there for about 45 minutes watching the British Columbia eagle swing in the tree. Here I could have been watching our very own couple.
Do you think she's thinking about fixing the nest, laying eggs, or none of the above??
Jim
I vote for just sitting there.
I want to thank you Paula for the Barton's Cove videos. They were just beautiful; and to see the second egg start getting a hole pecked in it was awsome.Another gift from above.
Maybe she is just waiting for a fish to drop from the sky; or an egg to just happen to pop out. :)
I guess sometimes you just dont want to do anything but hang out.
She hasn't moved in like 5 minutes. Must be something interesting in front of her.
ok, here is a stupid question. Can they just sit like that and lay an egg or do they have to be laying down?
Never seen an eagle lay and egg but I would think they would move around a bit like a chicken does
She may be feeling an egg coming, or she may be getting used to the idea that there won't be any this year...
She's not moving a stick to fix the nest right now...
Jim
They usually set in the bowl as though there were an egg there, but sometimes it takes a while to get to that point.
Jim
Well, my eyes are glued to this pic until she makes a move of some kind, as I imagine will the the same for the rest of you. It is the need to know!
I am with you Candy. Course she did this yesterday and then flew away. I think she knows she is tormenting us. LOL
That could be very well Jill, but one way or the other, we will know. We can sit as long as she does. :)
The usually squat - sorta like she is now.
And then sometimes they rock back and forth when they are laying it.
Oh you are so right Candy. Okay why is she standing up looking under here. MOVE BELLE. LOL
Isn't she kind of over the egg cup anyhow?
I thought she was. Kind of hard to tell with her in the nest taking up so much room
She is actually out of the cup.
Is it more to the back and right?
I just hope she doesn't out fox us and stay that way until dark! :(
I just had a snack, I can last a little longer until Hubby comes home and wants dinner.
Yup, Jill, but not too right, just a tad.
Maybe just digesting that big potluck lunch, but I get the feeling that it's a preparation to the egg laying.
Jim
She could be waiting for her dinner date, too :)
So she is covering it from the camera just not sitting on it.
I'm hoping with Jim; that she might be getting ready. Has anyone seen her sit this still for such a long time before? It doesn't even look as if her feet have moved a bit!
I haven't seen her sit this long. Usually moving around the nest, rearranging things.
I can see it now. Belle and Liberty trying to roll the new egg into the egg cup!
I still think it is Lib but I could be wrong. Have been once or twice - :):):)
I have seen her sit like this before.....heading home, will check in later - AHA, Lib is there w/ a stick
HUMMMM. Which one flew in?
I don't know. Missed the fly in but definitely Belle and Lib are there now! :)
Better be Lib and Belle or we have another George and Martha on our hands. LOL
That would be something, wouldn't it? Beak to beak. Could that have been the sign of the times? :)
I sure would love to see Belle trying out the egg cup!
BBL Time to eat dinner.
I'm not 100% sure which one has been sitting there the last hour...
Well someone is standing in the egg cup. It would be nice if they just sat down.
Jim, this looks like the same stance as before.
It looks kinda like Liberty, but the only reason I can think of him sitting in one spot like that is he's sick.
Which one did somebody say is the lighter color?
Jim
Hi There! I read you have a guessing game going on. I just got on - so
can't be certain who it is - However from the expression on the beak and the size of the feet - lools like it could be Liberty to me.
I hope I am wrong and it's Belle in that egg well...........
Paula and whoever is involved in the Catalina nests, every time I look at the W.E. nest today, that same "rebel chick" is going off on his(or her) own, which is very unusual for that age.
Jim
I just checked the weather for the site, and there will be snow flurries or showers....
You don't suppose he's there to protect the nest cup from precipitation, do you?
Jim
Protecting the egg well could be the very reason he is there. Wed and Thurs we're to have precip...
this is driving me crazy. I cant get any work done. To heck with it.
MT NEST
Well that whole incident was a little strange. Maybe they were just practicing for what is to come.
Gone now!
Wow they must have stayed a long time. Just came back and saw they were gone but according to the blog time they haven't been gone long. It is very cold here right now. At least for mid April. We are supposed to get rain on Wednesday, then a warm up. Wish it would hurry up.
Well, I was supposed to have told everyone this morning to have a good week from Mits. She has gone on vacation until Sunday. She will be sorely missed for sure!
If it is going to do anything there, I hope it will be a light rain. The eagles have had enough snow and hardships for one year.
Last I heard it was supposed to be rain. Maybe a flurry or two but no accumulation.
That sounds good to me. We on the Outer Banks had a few flurries here and there on Saturday. Hard to believe the weather this winter.
Hey Carolina - where are you on the OUter Banks? That's my favorite place on earth! We usually stay in Frisco for a week at the end of July every year.
BACK AND BUSY!
Didn't stay long but maybe they will be back!
Sorry Sunny. Eagle back
I live just on the north end of the Bonner Bridge that you have to cross to go to Frisco; the Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head area. We came here in 1982 and stayed.
Definitely Belle this time.
Jim
It is a pair again!
EAGLE ALERT OUR NEST
Bell in Front
Liberty in back
That was fast!!! TOOOOOOO FAST
2 pics and that was all.........
They're gone again...doesn't look as though it will be tonight.
Jim
I think that there is a pair of devilish eagles trying to keep us in suspense by playing games of
"Whose in the nest & Where did they go & are they coming back?"
I got a dozen pics, maybe, Mema Jo...I'll send them to you.
Got some of this afternoon too, but I don't know if you want them, as they didn't seem to have a purpose.
Jim
I wonder where they go for the night. You would think that the nest would be more comfortable than balancing on a branch.
You guys have been at this much longer than me. Is this typical? I came in last year when Belle was sitting on three eggs. I didnt see the preperation. This is nerve racking. I am leaving at 5:00 my time to babysit my two youngest. I'll be a tired Nana by the time I go home.
I am with you Mema Jo. I think they know that they have an audience and are enjoying playing with us.
Blackwater adult has a very soft feathery pillow tonight!
Send them on, Jim..
Well it is getting pretty hard to see. Soooo guess I'll call it quits for the night, but I'll be up bright and early to see what's up. This is my spring break and the only time I can give so much attention to it. I sure hope they have an egg before I have to go back to school. You all have a good eagle watching night; mema jo, jim, sunny, and heidigirl.
Spidey sure is out early tonight!
carolinabeachmom,
Have a good evening and rest...it could happen in the morning, or it could be several more days.
We all hope it will be soon.
Jim
HO HO SHARON!
Must be warming up at the sycamore
for SPIDEY to come out
I was just thinking that same thing, Mema Jo!
I got pics of the last visit tonight as well. I'll send them when I get back to the other computer...
KATE AZ just sent me email of the Ft St Vrain, CO, eaglet that has hatched. I sent it email through Momsters.
Time to end my day
Good Night All
Pleasant dreams of maybe an egg
Prayers being said for all
Good Morning Suzanne
GOOD MORNING, EAGLE LOVERS...
I've been trying to do my taxes on-line with TurboTax, but I'm tired and have to get to bed. At least it's not the very last night, as I've attempted to do it before, but as usual, I'm wishing I'd done it weeks ago.
Well, it's back to work tomorrow, so kindly let me know if anything of importance happens.
Have a good week,
Jim
Morning, Eagle world, morning, Jo. Chilly out, 28° at my house, big whopping 32° here at work. Geesh, this is the 10th of April, not mid-Dec or Jan! Down coat again today, it helps! Bright half moon, orange again. That is just too cool looking.
Hope our kids make an appearance! Nobody home in the osprey nest, BW chicks are sleeping alone, but they're snuggling together. Our nest MT, and thankfully, no spidey.
All have a great eagle day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly! (Wonder if I can post this or will I have to create yet another account? We'll see...) Well, not accepting my password, so have to create a new account yet again. This is becoming a daily ritual!
Well, we have another new account. What a pain!!!
There is an osprey sitting on the side of the nest. BW chicks still snoozing and snuggling. Our nest still MT.
Getting daylight out. Our osprey hasn't moved, still on the side of the nest. Our nest still MT. BW eaglets still snoozing and cuddling.. wow, pic just went totally out. White 3/4 of the screen, grey on the bottom! Oh, now it's back...phew! Yup, still snoozing. Our PA falcon is laying on the eggs looking pretty, and of course still way top dark out west.
Well, the osprey has finally decided to stand IN the nest, not on it. Looks like he/she is leaning up against the sod...maybe the sod is cold, and he wants to keep it warm now. Ok, now gonna stroll around the nest a bit. Our nest still MT, and I would say it's still too early, but they were here very early yesterday, so who knows. BW chicks still sleeping. Falcon still sleeping. Guess everyone here is still sleeping too...
BW parent just arrived, I presume breakfast will be served shortly!
Chickiepoos are not waking up, they're out for the count! Oop, parent gone... must not have had breakfast, chicks didn't smell anything, so they're still in dreamland...
Wow, that BW tree is getting whiter by the day... along with the top of the nest on the left of the tree! Chicks are doing quite a whitewash job!
FIRST ARRIVAL, FIRST ONE, NOW BOTH!!!
Inspecting egg cup, looks like Lib, Belle watching.
Man, Lib puts his whole head in the egg cup. Guess he wants to see if there are any changes since last time he checked. both standing there looking pretty now.
Poof, both gone. Short visit this morning!
Well that was exciting, but over too quickly!
BW chicks still sleeping, mom still fishing.
Osprey is just hanging around the nest, he moves positions every refresh. Maybe he's checking the views from different rooms...
PA falcon still on eggs, haven't seen male on the bar yet this morning. Maybe he's getting breakfast for mom.
There is a tiny bird on the branch above the nest just sitting. Not one of the blackbirds. Never mind, gone.
BW parent is back with breakfast, chicks woke up instantly and are watching!
Osprey left. BW chicks still waiting for first bite...
Ospreys back. Chicks still waiting. Mom moves from one place to another with breakfast, and they are moving their bodies to follow her! Still don't have their first bite yet, think Mom's eating.
OH! She ate, then guess took it out of her mouth on the side of the nest, and 1 chick is eating that by himself. Well, small bite, he's finished.
OMG, one chick has his mouth wide open and looking toward the cam. Looks like he's looking right at ya! Wish I had something!! Drop it through the screen...
Parent gone. Probably went fishing again... kids are snoozing.
eagle alert...
LIB AND BELLE ARE BACK!
Thanks, Jim, didn't see your post.
poof, just that quick they're gone again!
Jim, did you have to create another new account in order to blog?
EAGLE ALERT!
Both in nest, you guys watching???
Hi, Suzanne,
Sorry, I could barely see the post myself...just got up, the puter was barely on the site when they showed up...
Have they been here today earlier?
Yesterday, I had to create another account with a new I.D., but today all I had to do was remember yesterday.
Jim
Looks like they have more grasses in there over the nest cup.
Well, they're both just standing there looking pretty! Belle's in the front, Lib is in the rear.
Yes, Jim, this is their 3rd visit I think. But 2nd visit was an in and out. I sent you pics of the first visit...
Lib on perch, Belle looks like she may be getting ready to take off. Lib just left.
Now she's gone too.
They're probably gone to fish for breakfast now that the sun is up.
Think I'll look for some too.
Good morning, good day,
Jim
BW parent back, can't tell if there is a fish or not. Looks like Lord BW this time...
See ya later, Jim. Have a good day!
Well, I got to see the second visit this morning. They are busier than 2 cats covering up pee!
It just hit me this morning that I need to thank NCTC. Our cam has been up and running for quite some time now and I am so grateful! Thanks so much!
Morning, Sharon.
Getting dawn in Kent, enough that you can see the white head and tail. Also looks like an osprey in the WA nest, can almost see that too.
Male falcon is hanging outside of the nest box.
BW chicks stil hanging out and sleeping.
Still only 1 osprey in the BW nest. Haven't seen the other one all day.
Our nest still MT.
New thread everyone. have a Great day.
