EAGLE ALERT OUR NEST

paula eagleholic said...

Lib is still there

Mema Jo said...

Watching Liberty!!!

Mema Jo said...

He is such a patient sort of guy!

Mema Jo said...

You can always tell when he is getting ready to fly out!

Mema Jo said...

MT NEST FOR NOW

Anne-Marie said...

I think he would lay the egg for her if he could.

Mema Jo said...

3 Guesses what came in the mail today??? You'll never guess it!!!

My 50th High School Reunion Invitation

Oh my, my, my!!!

sunny said...

my gosh, Jo, did you graduate when you were 5? LOL!

Mema Jo said...

Heidigirl I think you are so right about Liberty wanting that egg!
He is the one who is around the egg well the most. Inspecting it and rearranging it and getting grasses!
Maybe he'll get his wish.......But it best be soon!

Glad to see you are finished the paychecks and can be back on the blog

Anne-Marie said...

Jo dont make the same mistake I did. I missed mine because of vanity. It was stupid and I'd never do it again.I felt like a fool when I got the reunion book and saw how I wasnt the only one who aged. OK, I'll get back to work...

Mema Jo said...

Thank you SUNNY!!!! Thank you!!!

It was so long ago they had to demolish the high school..
Of course they erected houses in place of it!

Mema Jo said...

Well, I would like a new outfit to wear since everything in the closet seems to have shrunk!

Really, I have gone to the reunions since the first 5 year one. I know what your saying AnneMarie - I guess old friendships is what always brings me back. I heartedly recommend to anyone that you go back in time for an evening and feel and think young again.

Mema Jo said...

Camsgrammy - how are you today with all this eagle news?
Thanks for the heads up on this new thread.

Mema Jo said...

Going over to momster album..
BBL

Mema Jo said...

Finished album on momsters for today so far.

Mema Jo said...

Lisa reported that a bird stole the
2 Sod Balls from the Osprey nest. Gives them more room in the middle to put those eggs!

Mema Jo said...

EAGLE FOSTERING ALERT
Per Dr Sharpe
We are going to try to foster the Two Harbors chicks today. We'll be leaving the office around 11:30, so should be at the nest between 1 and 2 pm.

I think it is 4-5pm our time....????
Hey you Californians - What time is it out there?

Mema Jo said...

PANDA ALERT
Since the eaglets are napping..
ButaButa and LunLun are having a fun time on the logs and ladder.

Anyone know when Norma gets home
from Florida??

Anne-Marie said...

Jo,you are three hours ahead of us. With all thats happening I will have to work late to make up for the time I've goofed off. I owe the company that much. later

Anne-Marie said...

I just got a call from So Cal and its really windy and nasty down there. I hope it doesnt cause any problems for the Dr.

Mema Jo said...

Not sure of locations on the island but Santa Cruz is having terrific winds. Two Harbors is pretty calm.
No switch yet - I am watching as long as I have the cam.

wvgal_dana said...

Maine is eating and feeding chick.

wvgal_dana said...

Still an egg at Santa Cruz no hatch yet.

Mema Jo said...

Dana Getting ready for the wooden egg switch to 2 chicks at Two Harbors....

Jill said...

Wooden eggs still in the nest.

Mema Jo said...

4:44pm Eagle off THnest - 2 wooden eggs in view - Still awaiting the Drs arrival..... Bad news-Eagle returned!!! Now what?

Mema Jo said...

Usually Dr Sharpe's head pops up on the side of the nest & in he will come.. He'll need to wait until the eagle leaves - Eagles just standing there...

Jill said...

My camera is stuck. Parent still there and wooden eggs.

Mema Jo said...

Eagle gone - Come on Dr...

Mema Jo said...

Hit F5
Remember you only get 10 min.
When your time is up - just go right back on

Jill said...

It is updating but no rhyme or reason to when.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

At TH, the eagle is gone off the wooden eggs. I am thinking somebody is around - maybe Dr. Sharpe?

Mema Jo said...

Dr Sharpe is expected any minute now!!!

Mema Jo said...

GOTCHA

Always clean lens first

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

They shut the camera off!

Mema Jo said...

He said he is going to reposition the camera
Should be back on any minute.......

Jill said...

He killed the camera. LOL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

BACK ON!

Mema Jo said...

The show is about to begin!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

BACK OFF!

Mema Jo said...

Brief intermission, I HOPE

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

HERE WE GO!

Mema Jo said...

Chicks in a carryall!
Yep! Dr Sharpe and Steffani

Jill said...

That was so cool.

Mema Jo said...

Now the suspense begins while we
wait for mom and dad to see what
is in their nest!!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

How cool was that!! Momma is going to think - dang I was only gone for a couple of minutes. How did this happen!

Jill said...

What will she think? She knows it takes longer than 5 minutes for 2 eggs to hatch.

Mema Jo said...

Here's the bestest part happening now!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Parent is there!!!! Look how tiny they look!

Jill said...

Dad is checking things out.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

ARE YOU MY MOTHER??????

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

No, but I am your daddy!! :)

Jill said...

So much easier when they have tags to tell them apart

Jill said...

Little guy doesn't know what the heck just sat on him.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

No, but that Daddy sure knows how to protect! Waiting for the wife to get back and do her job.

Jill said...

One of the sure is fiesty, sticking his head up and pecking at Daddy.

Mema Jo said...

Won't she be surprised? Well, another successful eventful day in the lives of the eagles!

Dinner time here in this home!
BBL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

What # does the Momma have on her?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I need to go take a shower but want to wait for Momma to show up.

Jill said...

82

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thanks, Jill.

Jill said...

I think they are going to have a handful with that one. He just won't lay down under Dad and rest. Keeps poking his head out.

Anne-Marie said...

What a fantastic experience. WOW. Thats something I will never forget. I wont mind working late to make up for that. Its beyond words.

Jill said...

I am loving watching daddy trying to get control of the babies. They just won't listen. Mom better get back soon.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yeah, he is like - okay, this is long enough!!!

Jill said...

Does anybody know how old the chicks are? Poor dad. He is having a rough time of it. Probably wondering whose babies these are. LOL

Mema Jo said...

They are both there now - Just couldn't stay away - I had to see Momma's response...

Jill said...

Mom is back, things are going to change now.

Jill said...

Dad is trying to explain to Mom where the babies came from

Mema Jo said...

Did you see that look she gave him? lol Like What have you been doing while I was gone?
Has she actually seen them yet?.. or does she just hear them?? I may have missed something.

Jill said...

The one keeps popping his head out from under dad so she has probably seen them.

Mema Jo said...

But Dad isn't giving them up!! lol

Jill said...

He was ready to earlier. One of them is bad. Won't stay still for second.

Jill said...

She saw one of them then. Probably bad boy sticking his head up again.

Anne-Marie said...

That little "spunky" was a hand full the second the Dr. put him in the nest. He put his head up as if to say "Hey your not leaving me in here, are you?" There is one in every family.

Mema Jo said...

That one is like one of the three they put on WEnest - They are calling him Harry (Houdini) because he is an escape artist when it comes to running around the nest. They have some cute videos on IWS from their bloggers.

The adults seem to be distracted by something....

Jill said...

Yeah, kept looking around until dad came back then starting pecking at dad when he was sitting on them.

Mema Jo said...

I think she is trying to convince him to go fishing......... lol

Mema Jo said...

Now 82 sees it all!

Mema Jo said...

Now it really is dinnertime.........

Anne-Marie said...

eagles in our nest!

sandyshaw said...

Weagles. Ours.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Ours is MT now. #82 is trying to figure out exactly what she is going to do with those babies! But I bet she already knows! :):):)

Mema Jo said...

Hello Sandra! Been hoping you would stop in and say hi but you were short & sweet and only said "weagles"! lol
How is it going for you? Is Tom's surgery next week? Has your sister remained visiting with you?
OH BOY JO
I really sound nosey!
I am really just concerned..

Barbara said...

Well, you know where those new chicks came from... The STORK brought them!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Boy alot has happened since I left the blog to finish my book. You all had an exciting afternoon. There should be a siren or something that goes off on this blog when something exciting is going to happen. :)

sandyshaw said...

Hello to all. I thought of you, Jo, today, because we had to go to Frederick to take care of some banking business for our son in Bangkok. Thought of Paula too; happy belated birthday, Paula. Which part of Middletown do you live in, Jo?

Mother is home, and bedridden with heart failure. The Home Health Agency came in on Monday and are a great help. However, I think we may have to switch to full time nursing help, as my sister has Parkinson's Disease, and though she is a great help she doesn't have much physical strength. Tom can't lift more than 5# because of the iv line in his shoulder. I have little physical strength, and I have discovered that nursing requires a lot.

Tom was scheduled for surgery yesterday because of an administrative mix-up it was postponed probably until next week. My son and daughter in law will be here for the weekend, when Home Health Care does not operate.

I still have hopes for our nest, and what a thrill in Maine! Those were some surprised biologists! And our own Dana was the first to announce it! Hurray!

Mema Jo said...

Naturegal posted this remark on IWS:
Dr. Sharpe - I guess that you have heard of Purolater Delivery Service. Well, I think you should start your own company and call it "Eaglelator Delivery Service". You are the only person I know that makes nest deliveries of baby eagles and gives them all such a good home.

Her remark is perfect!

carolinabeachmom said...

Sandy, you sure have your hands full. Our hearts and prayers are with you and yours. Hopefully things will work out.

Mema Jo said...

Sandra - Thanks for letting us know how you have been doing. Prayers are being said for your inner strength!
If I had any strength to give you or to do things for you I certainly would!
Our eagle world is just bustling all over. We keep holding our breath for Belle to sit in that egg well - but so far it's not happening. At least they are around the nest and we can keep track of them.

Jill said...

Has 81 or 82 brought food in for the little ones? I went to eat and missed about an hour. Looks like they are still trying to figure out where the babies came from.

Mema Jo said...

Jill - don't think any food has been brought in yet by 81 or 82. Remember that Dr Sharpe generously feeds them and fills their little crops before he delivers them. WEnest took a while to feed their 3 after delivery.

Mema Jo said...

Some one is pulling the blinds on our cam..... I can see through the slats.

Jill said...

This is the first time I have witnessed the switch. Glad to know they have full little bellies before they are put in the nest. You would think bad boy would have taken a nap if his belly was so full. LOL

Mema Jo said...

81 just left TH nest - hopefully for food.

carolinabeachmom said...

It must be that spidey, getting ready for a night of foolishness.

Mema Jo said...

I think 'little bad boy' was probably too excited finding out he had a real bird mother and father to take care of him!! lol

Mema Jo said...

I would think it was almost time for the evening visit at our nest.

carolinabeachmom said...

Jo, I was just about to ask if you thought that they would be back tonight?

carolinabeachmom said...

It sure looks like the wiggle worm eagle in Two Harbors is getting a little antsy. #82 is having trouble sitting still. :)

carolinabeachmom said...

Mom at Two Harbors finally got up and up popped a little head. Could it have been "wiggle worm?" Mama is having a terrible time sitting still. She is up again and so is the head.

Mema Jo said...

OUR NEST

WEAGLES

carolinabeachmom said...

Eagle Alert in our nest

carolinabeachmom said...

Liberty and Belle in nest.

carolinabeachmom said...

MT nest. That wasn't a very long visit.

Mema Jo said...

Got some pics even though the cam picture was really lousy.

Mema Jo said...

TH ...82 ..mom is brooding the 2 chicks right now .... hopefully dad 81 is away fishing!

carolinabeachmom said...

I'm with Jo. When Mom got up, those weagles looked hungry.

carolinabeachmom said...

Vabies up in two harbors nest

Jill said...

Are vabies any thing like weagles?

carolinabeachmom said...

guess I'll call it a night. Too dark to see. I hope "wiggle worm" lets his parents sleep tonight. Good night all.

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh Jill, I meant to type babies and it came out wrong.

carolinabeachmom said...

Mom has sat back down on them now.

carolinabeachmom said...

Good night Jo and Jill. Eyes to the sky.

Mema Jo said...

I do hope dad comes back soon if just so Mom doesn't have to keep stretching her neck to see if he is coming!

Mema Jo said...

Good Night Candy..........

Mema Jo said...

I'll be around for a little while - Watching for food to come in at TH and watching for a hatching at SC.

In the meantime I'm playing a card game.................

Mema Jo said...

Yummy Yummy Food for their Tummy

THnest has a feeding going on big time. Both mom and dad with the 2
new chicks!

paula eagleholic said...

TH chicks just got fed.

There is a storm in Maine. They may lose power, If so, they will try to get the cam on asap.

Mema Jo said...

I hope SC hangs in there...I think they almost have a chick - Wind is very forceful!

Mema Jo said...

Calling it an exciting day....

Good Night All
Pleasant dreams of eagles & eaglets
Prayers being said for all


Suzanne doesn't do Friday 13th

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I woke up at 12:44 a.m., looked at the computer monitor and Belle was in the nest. If she is there now, I can't tell through the mini-blinds. Saved a couple of pics, then had to go back and look at them to make sure I was not having a middle-of-the-night hallucination but sure enough, she was there!

Jill said...

It is 4:55am. Don't ask why I am up just blame stupid people. Can't tell if anybody is in the nest or not, blinds are shut tight right now.

movin said...

I am up temporarily, I hope, looked at venetian blinds, because of Sharon's pics.

After a bunch of nothing, I believe I can see Liberty's head and tail at 12 o'clock and Belle's head below in the nest.

Jim

movin said...

There is definitely an eagle head visible of a bird standing at 3 o'clock in the bottom of the nest, but it's still very unclear.

Light is driving away the white cross hatches, and I can see the barns, etc., fairly clearly.

Jim

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

She is in the nest but the pic is so washed out and looks horrible!

CamsGrammy said...

All gone. Good morning everyone. Still Hope !

floralgirl said...

Happy Friday the 13th! Well, it's really quiet without Suzanne in here this morning. Lisa has updated the osprey cam web log, interesting info. Another dreary, chilly day here only 41°. Going thru birdseed likes it's January. We realy need some sunshine here. Hope the cam gets fixed soon, they have been in the nest so much lately. Fingers crossed, but we have got to be running out of time for this season. Off to find my long johns...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

NEW THREAD IS UP!

carolinabeachmom said...

Paula, I can't seem to get the address you gave in your blog to come up. It just comes up to youtube.com after I put the whole thing in there. I tried animals and pets, etc. I don't know where to look. Help!
