Good Sunday Morn to all,

Have a great trip, relax and enjoy, Mema Jo. Say 'hi' to the granddaughter for us all...

All the rain slows everything down, but it also settles things...Liberty-Belle should be ready to go soon if they're going to do it this year at all.

I don't believe So Cal got a drop of rain yet...after all the promises on the Internet.

Everyone enjoy the weekend.

Be sure to read the BW Osprey weblog and look at the video Lisa took yesterday of one of the attacks, which have been disrupting things for the pair on the nest.

I guess it is good afternoon to all eagle watchers out there. I've come back from church and eating breakfast and headed here first thing to see who was still sitting on the osprey nest.

carolinabeachmom said...

I have already read the BW blog and watched Lisa's video of the turmoil that went on between the 3 ospreys. Both were very informative.

carolinabeachmom said...

I sure hope Jo in going to have a safe trip up to New York, as here in N. Carolina, we are having downpours and some good winds. I hope she is traveling inland and not along the shore. She'll be in my prayers for a safe journey.

movin said...

The female (original, I believe) has departed the BW nest again...could just be hungry.

Jim

carolinabeachmom said...

Is that the same one that sat on the nest all pm yesterday or the rogue one Jim?

movin said...

It looked like the female of the pair that has been building the nest, Carolina.

Don't know if she had to go fishing for herself this morning, or if another attack occurred.

The attacks happened so fast that you wouldn't see them between the 60 second refreshes. However, everything I did see looked peaceful this morning.

Jim

carolinabeachmom said...

Well that sounds good, Jim. Maybe the egg laying can commence. I thought that 30 second intervals on our nest cam was a long wait until I watched this cam with 60 seconds. Like you said, so much can happen.

I see where they are going to be banding the eagle babies in Norfolk on Tuesday am between 8:30 and 9:00. You all might want to watch. I'll be in school, but will try to watch too.

carolinabeachmom said...

It looks like the BW eagles had some kind of crab for lunch! That is a first. Their nest has a claw in it and a piece of small leg.

carolinabeachmom said...

Eagle alert in our Nest!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Also two in BW osprey nest.

carolinabeachmom said...

MT nest :( Not a very long visit but at least they were here.

carolinabeachmom said...

There was a blur in BW osprey nest twice and only one osprey left.

movin said...

BW Osprey...
I believe she left to get food and came back with food and the male. The strange blurs are associated with him flapping his wings, and I think he is still there, perched on the camera (and occasionally blurring the picture).

I haven't seen signs of the other female, but she could be just off cam.

Jim

carolinabeachmom said...

Ok, I thought that maybe they were starting up again. Did you see Liberty and Belle visit our nest just a little while ago? They didn't stay long; just looked around here and there and then one flew off after the other. Candy

carolinabeachmom said...

It is pouring rain again and electric just went out; transformer blew. Thunder, I am out of here. BBL

movin said...

Both in S. Cruz nest .. changeover.

movin said...

Two Harbors is feeding chicks now.

Jim

carolinabeachmom said...

Sorry, but we lost our electricity for about a half hour. Back now

Mauley said...

Dear Friends, Nasty weather here in se KY as well, Traveling mercies up for Mema Jo. I wouldn't be surprised if our Lib and Belle decide to forego family raising this season. Lots to look forward to on other cams, though, none like ours. Have a good one. donna

Jill said...

Is the parent sitting on one of the BW chicks? I have only seen one all day. Except when there were 2 and one was close to the edge of the nest.

floralgirl said...

They are both there, jill. One of them was snuggled up tight against mom. Saw them earlier against the tree trunk, always makes me nervous to see them at the edge of the nest.

Jill said...

I will take your word for it. Still can't see it but every once in a while parent looks distorted.

floralgirl said...

Eagle in WV nest.

floralgirl said...

And now it's gone.

floralgirl said...

Weagle Alert!!!

floralgirl said...

Both appear to be working on nest cup.

floralgirl said...

one gone, one looking atround the sky and still working on cup.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Sure would like to see an egg appear in our nest!!

floralgirl said...

Both gone:(

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hello Megan. How is it going? I guess it will be a 2-heater night tonight, huh? We have about 3 inches of snow on the ground.

movin said...

Did anyone see anything violent or anything on the BW Osprey nest this afternoon??

I don't see any Osprey on it now, and it's almost dark.

Jim

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Somebody is back!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Both there now!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

One left.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Now both are gone again!

movin said...

Since Mema Jo is enroute to NY, I placed the Liberty-Belle pics from earlier in the day in the momsters album.

Take a look if you get a chance.

Have a good evening, everyone.

Jim

Looking again,maybe the nest is empty. I thought it had four sides on it and now I see it doesn't. So on the right side might just be darkness at the edge of the nest.

carolinabeachmom said...

Also, for some reason the light that is illuminating the nest keeps shifting its position in the pic. Or what is that reflecting on the nest?

carolinabeachmom said...

carolinabeachmom said...

I give up. The light keeps changing places every 60 seconds and I am starting to feel like I am going crazy. Now I don't see anything; just the changing lights. Maybe someone can tell me what it is tomorrow night.
Candy

MITS said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE...back from Arizona, will talk to you tomorrow:)

Jill said...

Could be the wind moving the light and or camera at BW. The wind up there is horrific according to family in DE. Nobody on the nest either best I can tell. Poor thing probably couldn't stay on the nest the way the wind is blowing. Windy in Martinsburg too but not as bad as farther east.

Jill said...

Just came in from work again. That wind is wicked out there. And east of here it is supposed to be worse. No wonder everybody is hunkered down for the night. Hope I dont' have to go out again.

Suzanne said...

Good Monday morning, eagle world. The word for today is WINDY! It is wicked out there!! Very windy. All the flags are straight out! And driving down here was like driving through an obstacle course! Be careful of the branches, trash, trees, and whatever else is gonna blow down. Eagles or ospreys should have no trouble today finding building material!

Sorry to hear we lost our first osprey egg! This is not a good year for raptors!

Will try to read at least yesterday's blog, see what I missed.

All have a great eagle day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Off to create my daily account so I can post!

carolinabeachmom said...

Good morning Suzanne and welcome to another week. I see you made it thru Friday the 13th ok and the weekend storm. We missed you.
I was prepared to go into school today and was called around 5am to be told that school was cancelled for my area today because of bad winds. Sooo that means we'll have to make it up this Saturday. :(

carolinabeachmom said...

Mits, welcome back from your trip. What a time to come back here. Glad to hear you arrived back here safely tho.

carolinabeachmom said...

Just checked into the BW osprey nest and it sure looks as if someone is starting to build up the nest and getting ready to make a new home for themselves.

carolinabeachmom said...

And with that said, since everything is still dark in cam land, I think I'll go back to bed for awhile. Hope everyone and everything stays safe today.

Suzanne said...

Wow, just read Lisa's update on the osprey page! Now we have a Monica osprey! Geesh, what's the deal with these female raptors? Get your own man!! What a shame about the egg. Sure hope our osprey couple can get rid of the intruding female, and get down to business and lay another egg or two!
BW chicks are still sleeping, think that is Lord BW in the nest with them. Osprey nest is MT, and has been so guess nobody spent the night. Our nest is MT, somebody please open those blinds! Oh, Lord BW is awake.

Suzanne said...

Hi Candy, if you're still here. I'm not used to folks being up this early, so I usually do my initial post, then get some things done. Hardly ever go back and check! The winds are terrible out there, someone just came in and said they are saying on the radio 60 mph gusts! I knew it was bad, just didn't know how bad! Trees are down here around 495 and some road (forget), so that should really tie up the rush hour this morning!
Mits, welcome back. Glad you made it back safely! And I guess Jo is in New York! Sure hope she got there safely! They're getting strong winds too. Least it's not too cold today, it was 39° at my house, 45° here.
Candy, sleep tight. I'll talk to you when you get up again!

Suzanne said...

WEAGLE ALERT!!!

Suzanne said...

And Lord BW is back with breakfast for the kids.

Getting daylight out, but can't tell who is in our nest. Sitting over the egg cup, though.

Suzanne said...

Lord BW is feeding the chicks, well, one is grabbing his own bite! Whoever is in our nest is either sitting or standing over the egg cup just looking around.

Suzanne said...

Osprey just arrived!

Suzanne said...

Think that's Belle.

kirine said...

Morning everyone!! Eagle in the nest now!

Suzanne said...

No action, she's jut standing there looking around. (Or he, not sure which it is.)

Suzanne said...

Well, the BW chicks have learned they don't have to wait for mom or dad to give them a bite... they can reach and steal it! Too cute. Osprey is now standing in the nest, but only 1 at the moment. 2ND ONE ARRIVED, it was Lib in the nest!

Suzanne said...

Osprey gone. that was Lib in the nest. Belle is so much bigger!

Suzanne said...

Osprey back. Lib and Belle inspecting the nest.

Suzanne said...

Man, the light on the BW eagle cam is probably blowing all over the place. One refresh it's bright, next refresh it's dark!
Our kids still standing in nest looking pretty!

Suzanne said...

Belle just took off, Lib still standing by the egg cup looking around.

Suzanne said...

Dang, Lib just left too. Maybe they'll be back.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jennifer! Just been posting away, not looking to see if anyone else is up and watching! Glad you got to see them this morning.

Suzanne said...

Suzanne said...

Both BW parents in nest now.

Suzanne said...

Other parent in nest now, first one left. Osprey just standing on side of nest hanging out. PA falcon still on eggs, looking like she wants to sleep some more.

Suzanne said...

Osprey just left.

Suzanne said...

Osprey back. He/She leaves for 1 refresh, then back. Wonder if there is something flying around the nest, and they're chasing it/them away? Back facing cam, so can't tell if it's a male or female.

Suzanne said...

Well, BW eagle cam went away. Hope it comes back, and it wasn't the wind that blew it down or something.

Suzanne said...

Phew, cam back.

Suzanne said...

BW parent gone. Fish all gone.

glo said...

Good Morning everyone. Finally a day with sunshine and at least warm enough to work in the yard. Guess today I will do the reading and see what others have been watching. Hope your day is Full of eagles.

glo said...

Well NCTC fans you know the drill and the Maine pair with their now 2 little ones, could certainly use your prayers to get through the powerful storm they are now enduring and will face throughout the day and also coming night.

floralgirl said...

Good morning!! New thread!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Back with you all. Was soooo glad to hear that Maine has 2 chicks now in their news. I had been watching them off and on all weekend, but couldn't tell. Thanks glo for the info.

carolinabeachmom said...

Just checked around and all seemed to be lounging, but Tow Harbors was feeding chicks. Maine and Norfolk nests are hanging on for dear life.

carolinabeachmom said...

It is still very windy here on the outer banks. We have a temp. of 66', but the wind would blow you over. My husband was out early and said that water was coming over our road; don't know about the houses in the Kitty Hawk or Nags Head area. Schools are closed here until tomorrow, but we'll have to make it up on this Saturday:(

carolinabeachmom said...

No action on our nest or BW. I was glad to hear that our eagles made a visit this morning, tho. Guess I'll go read awhile. Later gator!

carolinabeachmom said...

Did I say later gator? Oh my, maybe I should have said that I was waiting for Liberty and Belle. :)

carolinabeachmom said...

Eagle
Alert

carolinabeachmom said...

One eagle in our nets

carolinabeachmom said...

Standing by the egg cup, looking around. Now Two Eagles! I think Belle just arrived.

carolinabeachmom said...

One eagle flies the coupe.

carolinabeachmom said...

One still in nest, trying to make up their mind to go or stay

carolinabeachmom said...

Two birds back in nest!

carolinabeachmom said...

One looking in egg cup while other is on lookout branch.

carolinabeachmom said...

It looks as if it was Liberty that flew

carolinabeachmom said...

Our nest is still occupied with one bird

carolinabeachmom said...

There has been no nest fixing by either of them. Just seems like a lot of pondering about what to do.

carolinabeachmom said...

Osprey back on BW nest

carolinabeachmom said...

If that is you Belle, please sit down in the egg cup and get comffy.
