Thanks Steven for the new thread. I just invited everybody over.

She sure has been in the nest for a while this afternoon. Maybe she will spend the night? More will be revealed!

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks for the new thread, Steve. Would be even prettier with an egg in that nest!!

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like were are going to finish up that snacky-poo.

Just Vicky said...

Absolutely nothing more heart warming then seeing "Our" eagles in this nest!!!

MITS said...

Thank you Miss Sharon:):):).

Just Vicky said...

Now let's see some squawking and setting!!

movin said...

As I said in old thread, I have some pics of this visit...will send later.

Jim

glo said...

LOL Yes it is nice to see isn't it. been there for a while now. Its a beautiful sight.

paula eagleholic said...

Still just sitting in nest....facing about 6...was checking out the leftover, may have had a bite or two,,,,but pretty much sitting and looking around

movin said...

She may be thinking "should I lay one now, or should I finish the baby's room first."

Jim

Mema Jo said...

Yes, I want Belle to bring me eggs for easter - not worried about the Easter Bunny.

paula eagleholic said...

No change.

movin said...

She's been there about an hour and a quarter, mostly waiting; so (except she hasn't dug an egg cup) she could be getting ready to lay again.

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Man, the whole site just went down for me.

movin said...

Now I lost the NCTC SITE altogether...how about you?

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Heading home and to son's for dinner...have a great evening...

movin said...

Cam's back and she's digging in the nest cup area!

Jim

Jill said...

Either she left or I am blind. As soon as I read that she had been there I went to the camera but nobody home

movin said...

Belle flew the scene.

Jim

MITS said...

SHE'S GONE..

Jill said...

Shew, thought I was losing it for a second. LOL

MITS said...

lol...Jill, your not losing it.

MITS said...

cute pic at VA, largest chick is sitting right next to mom.

MITS said...

and she moved...lol.

wvgal_dana said...

Wow sounds like I missed alot of MESSED UP CAMS PICS ON NCTC .

Our nest looks like someone from comments Belle. Has been working on the egg cup. Seems alot grasser in there.

movin said...

They've dug it up enough now that, if they don't start another clutch, they could plant potatoes or a vegetable garden...hahaha.

Jim

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I was just thinking that it looked a little messy!

Janet Mae said...

Is that a "critter" in the next?

wvgal_dana said...

See Norfolk finally made it up sometime today. Chicks look fed and spaced out nicely to cool themselves resting.

MITS said...

new update from Lisa on the BW Ealge log about the cam situation...bad solar panel, sending away for new one in overnight shipment, asking for patience if it goes down again...some new pics of the eaglets also.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Question - do birds have contractions when they are laying eggs?

Mema Jo said...

I think the lighting and shadowing at this time of day makes the nest bed look in more disarray then it actually is. Look at the pics on Momsters for today that were taken around 5:00 - Nest looks fairly ok.
Hit the slideshow of the album

Mema Jo said...

Sharon I would assume by looking at the MAINE video when she laid an egg, that they have to concentrate on what they are doing and I bet they grunt and push a little! How she knows ahead of time that the egg is ready - I have no clue!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thanks Mema Jo. Did NE/NU momma have 2 or 3 eggs? Does anybody know?

Mema Jo said...

NE - Barton's Cove 2 eggs as far as I know.

Mema Jo said...

Sharon Guess What - they could hatch soon:
The eagles have begun incubation of their second egg which was first sighted the morning of March 4. The first egg was laid the afternoon of February 28, which was a week earlier than any previously recorded egg at the Barton Cove nest. If the 35-day incubation period goes well, we can expect the first egg to hatch around April 4, with any other eggs hatching in the same time interval in which they were laid.

Mema Jo said...

I remember her being snow covered for a day or two just like Belle. I hope their eggs hatch! That's our heart shaped nest! I remember how the mom keep feeding the large over grown eaglet last year and how he had to fight off the black birds... lol

wvgal_dana said...

Jo what nest are you talking about???

Mema Jo said...

There should also be chicks at the Ft.St Vrain CO nest soon:
Mother eagle continues to care for and sit patiently on her eggs. We expect them to hatch around April 7 and 8.
We're going to be busy chick watching! I'd rather be egg watching!

Mema Jo said...

Dana The old site of NE/NU
They keep renaming it. I call it Barton's Cove since I now know where it is.....

Mema Jo said...

Dana, it's the one in
Massachusetts

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Jo Now have you heard from Sandra about her Mom and her husband??

MITS said...

yep, Co should be having some Easter weekend chicks, I hope:).

MITS said...

So much for watching my hometeam, Orioles, back to back homeruns against our so-called best pitcher. Going to watch something else and do laundry.

Mema Jo said...

Dana, I don't think that Sandra has been on the blog for 2 days. She had taken her mom to the hospital. Not sure how long of a stay. Tom gets surgery on his knee mid April. If I can find her comment couple days back I'll email to you.
Been praying for her and family.

Mema Jo said...

I have just read Lisa-BW Eagle's Update.. She is something spectacular in her writings. So interesting and so many visual aids to help you understand things.

MITS said...

Lisa is one-of-a kind, and is excellent at her job:):).

Anne-Marie said...

Eagle on the nest again

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle at Kent seen 2 eggs

movin said...

BOTH EAGLES IN NEST THIS EVENING.

JIM

movin said...

SHE SEEMS TO BE EATING AGAIN; HE LEFT.

JIM

Anne-Marie said...

Well its time for me to turn this comuter off and go home. I will check in later. I cant wait to get pantyhose and heels off. Thanks everyone for your comments. Sharon, I'm a farm girl and I know chickens get a pressure feeling when they are going to lay and head for the straw. Maybe other birds have the same thing. The eggs are laid soft then harden with in a few seconds. By for now.

Mema Jo said...

Dana, Jim, AnnMarie, Sunny
Were you all talking about Kent nest... I left for 10 min - did I miss anything at OUR nest?

Anne-Marie said...

Yes Jo it was our nest. I really dont watch any other or I would never get anything done. I feel guilty as it is. By again.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I missed the last visit, don't know how but I did. I really do wish she would spend the night!

Heidigirl, thanks for the info about the egg-laying. I am not a farm girl!

movin said...

The eagle spirits are growing so much that you can't see anything of the nest at night...

Looks like there will be no eggs laid here today.

Everybody have a great evening.

Jim

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

You too Jim!

Mema Jo said...

I have 5 great shots of the last visit from Jim... placing into Momsters album.

Mema Jo said...

I need to leave for an hour or two.. BBL

MITS said...

CU LATER, JIM...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Here comes Spidey!!!!

MITS said...

I really hate spidey.....

carolinabeachmom said...

Hi all. Just checking in for a minute after reading all the blogs. It sounds as if you all had a very exciting day in eagle land between all the eagles and the downed cameras. I tried to get into our nest at school and couldn't. Glad to hear it is up and working now. You posted a nice pic Suzanne. Nice to see them in the nest together. Also a big congrats to normabyrd and her new grandson. You must be soooo excited. I do hope you have a safe trip to Fla.

Hope you all have a good night and a eggy laying day tomorrow; cup making might mean eggs to follow. It would be a wonderful Easter gift.

Mauley said...

Good evening dear friends, I may have ridden the short bus on this, but can someone answer for me???? Does B elle still have fertile eggs to lay? Will they have to be inseminated again for the eggs to hatch or did the mating which took place take care of eggs she could lay now. Just wondering. If she can just lay us one little fertile egg I will be a happy Momster. Gonna watch the Fla Ohio game. We may be getting Billy Donovan for a coach at UK. Prayers for all those who are sick or suffering. Love donna

Mema Jo said...

I would like to know just how large is Spidey... I hope the lens makes him look larger then he is....lol

MITS said...

Whenever I see spidey, just think I'm watching a horror movie. The Spider from Sheperdstown....hey, might be a cute kids book:).

MITS said...

Hi, Carolina and Mauley and Jo..

paula eagleholic said...

Pictures of the first known natural hatch of bald eagle chick on Catalina Island since 1945!!!
This is a picture of the Pinnacle Rock nest on Catalina Island, CA. This nest is not on the internet.
Mom is in the nest with two chicks, hatched March 31 and April 1.

Mema Jo said...

Well, Hello Mits

Mema Jo said...

Paula, did 2 of the WE eggs also hatch...?

wvgal_dana said...

Spidey is much much better on the "live feed"

paula eagleholic said...

Mauley,
As far as I know, fresh sperm would be needed to fertilize any new eggs. They can hold the sperm for a period of time, I believe it is up to 2 weeks if she doesn't have eggs ready. So a new round of successful mating would have to occur for Belle to lay more eggs.

Mema Jo said...

Those 2 chicks at the Pinnacle Rock nest aren't going to fall out as deep as it is. I would think that this is something to be very excited about - I hope that SC also has their egg hatch. Maybe the waters are starting to clean up out there.

Mema Jo said...

How do you go about seeing the Maine cam nowadays? I have their new link and see their new home page..I can't find the forum from their viewers to know what is happening. I found the Blog with the scientific reporting - that's not what I want. Also - I can't get the cam up but I thought they had the infrared vision at night.... Somebody straighten me out!

carolinabeachmom said...

Hey there Mits and everyone else. I was just checking around the other sites and then back to Shepherdstwon and saw that huge thing over the pic.
Glad I checked back in the blog, as I found out it was our friend the spider. :( I sure hope it isn't as big as it looks!

paula eagleholic said...

WOW osprey still at Osprey cam.

BW eaglets sleeping.

Spidey is BACK!

MITS said...

eeewwww....someone get the spray.

Mauley said...

Thanks Paula, I was afraid so. I really thought that would have to happen. I just hope our parents can cycle again this year. It is very encouraging to watch the nestorations, but I afraid to to get up too much excitement now. If we havve to wait till next season, okay with me. I love them anyway, I am enthralled with the other cams and nests, but this is the nest and Belle and Lib erty are the ones I hold so dear to my heart. Thanks for info. donna

carolinabeachmom said...

The Maine cam is black to me tonight too. Either it is out or they have no night vision.

MITS said...

on Saturday's update of Maine, they said it would take a few days for the live stream to start working, although it has worked on and off the last couple of days, doesn't seem to be working now.

MITS said...

just a beautiful sky at KENT.

Mema Jo said...

Mits, to me it sorta looks like a stormy sky on cam 1 in Kent

Mema Jo said...

Spidey has full exposure - all eight legs in view!

carolinabeachmom said...

I thought the sky looked stormy, too, mema jo. AND isn't it time that someone did get the spraycan out and get that spider? Hopefully he won't stay on there too long.

carolinabeachmom said...

He covers almost the whole lens on the camera. I would rather see the nest, thank you.

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh well, it looks as if he is there for the night. Check in on you all tomorrow. Good night all.

Mema Jo said...

Good night Carolina Beach Mom.

I'll check back to sign off in about an hour......

MITS said...

That's what makes it so beautiful and interesting looking at KENT. Sky doesn't have to be blue to be pretty:):).

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, Jo, 2 of the West End chicks hatched too! Guess they will be put in the nest after Easter or right before. Haven't heard yet.

paula eagleholic said...

Osprey still at Osprey cam....

BW chicklets are all over the nest!

paula eagleholic said...

Spidey butt still on our cam.

Jill said...

I am thinking the lens of the camera isn't very big but has a wide angle to view the nest. Therefore if little spider were to crawl onto the lens he would look much bigger than he is. Or else you people in Shepherdstown grew really huge spiders and I would appreciate it if you woudl keep them in Jefferson County.

Mema Jo said...

Good Night All

Prayers being said for all



Good Morning Suzanne

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Suzanne.

Beautiful day suppose to be today.

wvgal_dana said...

Liberty just flew in

wvgal_dana said...

He is at nest cup and boy does he look small compared to Belle.

wvgal_dana said...

Belle you have mail.....it says will you please soon lay an egg or two.

wvgal_dana said...

Suzanne the male at PA is standing out on the end of the long wooden rail.

wvgal_dana said...

Coming light at Fort St. Vrain Colorado. Can see eagle. The should have a hatch soon.

wvgal_dana said...

NE has the "blue virus"

Teddy and Edith at Baartons Cove Conn. are doing fine. Teddy like moving the white paper around this morning. Actually to the nest cup and layed down on it. I guess sizing it up for his lady.

wvgal_dana said...

Norfolk VA offline now screen all black. Probably working on it.

wvgal_dana said...

Both eagles at Colorado in nest.

I let you know if I see a chick or eggs.

CamsGrammy said...

Was checking in on all the sites this morning and I guess VA is down and the fog is so thick this morning in Maine that you can not see the nest or the camera has been moved. I think it is the fog.

wvgal_dana said...

Male just left at Colorado Fort St. Vrain. Female hasn't moved. Don't know yet if still eggs or chick.

wvgal_dana said...

Oh Teddy is so cute. Love that nest site osprey in Conn. Off he flys.

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Camsgrammy yes I did have earlier the VA site. Chicks were all well. Then it went down.

Mauley said...

Morning Suzanne Dana and Cam's granny. Thanks for new information and comments. Have a blessed one. donna

CamsGrammy said...

Good morning everyone. Our camera isn't looking so good right now I hope it doesn't go down again. Sure is good to see Lib and Belle in the nest.

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Mauley

Dad just flew in at Colorado. Mom on eggs looking up at Dad like "honey it should be soon the little one hatches".

wvgal_dana said...

Dad flew out of Colorado maybe he'll bring food back for Mom.

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Sunny our cam has been messing up. How great is that huh
oh well maybe it will get warmer and straighten up.

Sandy said...

Morning Everyone!

Busy day here but I'll be stopping by periodically...can't resist.

Hoping for an Easter egg or several today....:-)
