All this talk of the osprey has me worried now. I can't say I hve been watching this family but I m now. Does this happen where the male will just up and vanish if at least for a little while?
I do hope nothing happened to him or that other hussy won him over lol
The mother Osprey seems to be looking out for attack again as well.
The father could have been injured or killed by another Osprey or a Bald Eagle stealing fish on the wing. ... but we'll have to hope somebody can see more than we can see on-camera.
GOOD WEDNESDAY MORNING EVERYONE Weather is going to change today. Storms are coming. Robyn, it is hard to say what is happening at BW, so much drama there this season.
Thanks for the new thread, Steven. Thanks for the heads up, Jim. Mom osprey off the eggs again this refresh. Sure hope she gets eomthing to eat or finds dad! Ok, on 2nd minute away.
Morning, Robynann and Mits. Yes, these ospreys have had a tough time of it this season! It's not usual for the male to up and leave, specially since they have eggs. I just hope he's ok, and can get back to mom soon!
05/16/07: Father Watch- We continue to look for images that show two ospreys on the nest. Our father osprey has not been around and the mother has had to do some fishing for herself.
Robyn, the female has what looks like a necklace across her chest and male's chest would be plain white, when you see it you can tell right away, very distinctive looking.
Just got a pic of osprey, could not tell if it was a change or a dfensive mode....ROBYN NOT SURE HOW LONG THE EGGS CAN STAY WITHOUT SOMEONE ON IT, BUT WEATHER IS OK
Well, Mom's had a good breakfast, saved some of the tail end, and is setting on the eggs again...don't know what was wrong, but at least part of it is fixed now.
Have a good day and I'll talk to you this evening,
Thanks for the pics! Picked the wrong time to go to a meeting, short though it was...thankfully!!! Nice to know she's eating, even if she does have to catch it herself. Think in this weather it won't hurt the eggs to be unattended for a few minutes, it's nice out. But I sure would like to see 2 ospreys in the nest at the same time. Kent eaglets are snoozing while parent in tree keeps an eye out for them. Falcons are asleep except for 1, who is looking around taking the world in. Too cute. All 4 owlets are tucked in their corner with mom on guard.
Good Morning all. Its going to be a busy one. Thanks for keeping me up with what is happening to our Osprey. In between my whales and birds I am really getting to be a mother hen. As of a few minutes ago the whales have reached West Sacramento. They cant go any further in that river because of a lock. Thats where the big freighters pick up rice, almonds, and fruit for Japan and the east. They have to turn around or die. Today they are sending in boats with sonar to urge them back to San Francisco and up out under the Golden Gate. They have done it in the past to other whales that get lost. Mother whale has a net or rope attached to her. I hope they can get it off without frightening her or her calf.Sorry about the novel this early in the morning.
Morning, Heidigirl. That's not a book, that's interesting. Hope they get the whales where they can continue on their journey, with no harm to the whales! Mits, have a ball at the zoo this afternoon. Give our love to Tai!
Time for me to hit the road. Sure hope dad osprey shows up today. Has anybody seen the Kent chicks get fed? Saw dad leave this morning, then Star arrived, but she didn't bring breakfast. Haven't seen Spirit since this morning. They're sleeping now, so I'm sure they're ok. Star is on branch watching them. One BW eaglet has been AWOL for a little over an hour. Testing his wings, I suppose. All have a great eagle day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Well, I figure it is well past time for me to check in. Been busy with the new job, trying to stay on task and work only 8 hours instead of 12. I hope everyone is well. I have missed you all!!
Last I heard power was to be restored to most of the island in 1 week to 10 days. Dont' know what impact that will have on the cameras. If they dont' have to rerun the lines to the camera should be a problem
HELLO!! Robyn, I tried to use the tinyurl, but don't have the time or patience right now. So Lisa's report is right on the osprey page aa a special edition of the opsprey log. Its just as easy to go right to it from here.
HELLO How was the Zoo crowd! Our cam right now is very clear - just turned it on. Was reading the update on both eagle & osprey pages at BW. The clips on the eagles' page are really really good! Lisa caught some good ones. We had rain as you can see on the nest that WV had some too. Well, Megan's flowers were naturally watered!
I was wondering if anyone had seen the male Osprey bring fish in for the female during the day today.
Then I opened AOL and looked at the first pic I sent this morning when the bird landed with the fish...I'm 99% sure that was the male...smaller beak and feet, male head markings, lands with fish in same place he lands, proceeds to eat the head end before giving the remainder to the female.
Anyway, did anyone see anything further during the work day?
Paula must have seen her eating again (maybe the leftovers) close to the noon hour. No one has sighted the dad.She has been turning the eggs. I keep checking but their cam will go off around 11:00 eagle land time.
Thanks for the info, Mema Jo... I believe we did see the Dad bring the fish this morn, and the Mom getting her breakfast...so maybe things aren't as black as feared for that pair.
I should also say good night, God bless you all... Good morning, Suzanne and the early crew.
Good morning, eagle world. Another day closer to Friday! Older I get, the longer the workweek gets! Nice night out 52° at my house, 61° here. Not as humid, so it feels chillier than it has in a couple days. Had some good rain yesterday afternoon, we sure needed it! Started before I got home, so got soaked getting mail at PO, then going into my house when I got home. Didn't mind though, like I said, we needed it. Stopped around 5ish I think, then went out and fed the birds. Poor things, they were soaked! Ok, cam update. Our nest is MT, but a nice clear pic (shhhhhh), BW has one eaglet in nest, other one is probably on a branch. Only 1 osprey on eggs again today. Read Lisa's update on the osprey page, male was last seen Sunday morning. She gives some explanations on why the male would not be in the nest. Very interesting. Dark in PA, can't see the falcons, dark out west, and the barnowl cam is locked on last night at 2030. One of the owlets is stretching his wings in front of the cam on top view, showing his butt on side view. Cute pic when you look at both of them. Side view has a perfect shot of the owlets butt and that's all. Oh! Jill! Thanks for the camera info on your Olympus!! All have a great eagle day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Still standing around looking comfy to be there. Osprey on eggs, BW eaglets MIA, and cam is getting flakey! Falcons are coming into view, appear to be sleeping, and barnowl cam still frozen in time.
Oh, morning, Sharon! Thanks, had to go out, so couldn't watch them! Don't know if that's Lib or Belle, but it's nice to see whoever it is! Enjoy your day at work!
BW parent brought something to the nest, and an eaglet came to investigate. Nest has been MT for a while. Chick started eating leftovers, but decided whatever mom or dad had looked better, so now over there begging some of theirs.
Never got on after work yesterday, as our company was home. Soooo I hope to be able to get on my son's computer a little bit while I am there. Doesn't look good for the drive. I'm hoping rain up your way and along 95 will be done when I get there. I hate being on 95 in the rain.
Morning, Candy. Not raining now, storms stopped late yesterday afternoon. Think it stopped at my house around 5 or so, cause I waited until it was over to feed the birds. Believe we are supposed to get more rain this afternoon, but wouldn't swear to that! What time are you coming to Lancaster?
Well, children are going to start coming in. Thank goodness our school year is winding down; only about 2 and a half weeks left for children. :) We are all ready to get out of here! Then come August, I can't wait to get back. Go figure.
Well, be back Monday night. You all take care of all of those precious babies out there and keep an eye on our nest. I'll try to get in and read the blogs. All havae a good day. Candy
Oops, was posting while you posted and didn't see it. My mistake, Winchester is your destination. Where did I get Lancaster? Mits, have a safe trip to OC!!!
We are going to Lancaster on Friday to the Sight and Sound productions of Adam and Eve and then back to my son's house until Monday am. Then I'll head back to the beach.
Ok, thought I remembered something about Lancaster, but then thought it might have been someone else. I hate 95 too! You be careful, and have a good weekend and trips! Morning, Glo. I've got a couple, but my arms aren't that long to give them to you. Suggestion...get a cat or two. They're big hunters when they catch a fly or something! Goes right to their head, and they just prance all over the place!
Getting daylight in Kent. Can see an adult in the nest. One of the BW chicks is in the nest, other one is AWOL. Our nest is MT, but we had a nice visit this morning. Owl cam is still down, closed it. Falcon chicks have eaten twice, now 3 are sleeping and 1 is sitting up looking around. The egg that refuses to break completely is still there.
GOOD A.M. EAGLE BUDDIES!!!--It's a cloudy day in WV--temp. 56°---HELLO SUZANNE---SHARON---CANDY--WANDA & GLO!!!--You are correct GLO--It's always a GLORIOUS DAY when LIB & BELLE are in the nest!!!--CANDY--You will enjoy the play at LANCASTER!!---The use live animals!!--AWESOME!---SAFE TRIP--SHARON is getting ready for ANDREW'S GRAD.---One "PROUD MAMA"---SUZANNE--If things get too hectic here--We can always join MITS at the beach!!--I heard her say---"COME ON DOWN"---(maybe that was Bob Barker, i heard)--ho!---WANDA (a new friend) is related to the Sheriff of WINCHESTER & JILL (a new friend) knows all the WV State Police in Eastern Panhandle!!---WOW!---CONNECTIONS---CONNECTIONS--This is just too much!---ho! ho!---4 OWLETS in the nest!!!---LIFE IS GOOD!!!!
Morning, CostumeLady. Have a great day today! Nice out, but windy. We had a good rain last night...or yesterday afternoon. Didn't have to water my plants!
Morning, Normabyrd. Didn't see you when I posted. Is the owl cam back up? It was frozen this morning, and I finally closed it. Nice to know all 4 are still there! Falcons are having a coffee clatch in their nest bed. Oh yea, as I write that, all heads went down for another nap. So much for them being up and talking... BW cams are still frozen, our nest MT, and osprey is on eggs in WA. Kent chicks have had breakfast and are now napping. Parent left a little while ago. I was reading something Lorraine and Garry have on their site, and seems squirrels live in the "basement" of the eagle nest! That might explain why we keep seeing George and friends all the time...they live there too!
Good Morning I'm up and getting ready for some "too early for me" morning appointments. I admit I am a night owl not an early bird. Got all this am visit pics from Suzanne - thanks! Will place in album upon my return. Glo I don't need the fly swatters yet - I need ant spray! Everyone make it a good day for yourself and others!
PA FALCONS CHICKS are enjoying the a.m.----"Breathing in all that pollution from the traffic"---But they don't seem to mind---EGG still with them too!!!---Aren't they adorable--stepping on each other!!----See a parent's wing hanging down!!!
Morning, Jo. Have a good day at your early appointments! At least you can take a nap this afternoon! Falcons are adorable, Norma. Love watching them. With all those wing leftovers, they probably don't even notice the car pollution! Course I guess they can't smell too good anyway. That's probably a very good thing!
MORNIN' JO & JIM!!!---JIM--Are you following the whale story there in CA?--OH!!--How I hope they get them back to the ocean!!!!----JO--Just think how good it will feel to get through all these appts. this a.m.
MIT RED-TAIL HAWK CHICKS---Are in nest cuddled up & they are so CUTE----Feathers coming on---One might think they are wearing costumes---feather trims!!!
Update from Catalina - Dr Sharpe and Steffani were able to visit 4 of the 5 nests yesterday and all is well. He took some video of the West End and Two Harbors nests. I put the links to them on
HI PAULA!!---Have you recovered yet???---I remember after I got through my daughter's wedding---I thought----I CAN HANDLE ANYTHING NOW---BRING IT ON!!!---ho! ho!---I am glad everything went so WELL!!------Thanks for the update from Catalina---W/check out!!

PAULA---All the EAGLETS are growing so FAST---ALMOST TOO FAST!-----I love to watch the young eaglets---they are so cute to watch!!---But then I like watching them try to fledge too!!!
MEI LAN is atop the poles in Atlanta Zoo----Now she is asleep & LUN LUN is pacing!!!She does a lot of that when MEI LAN climbs!!!---MEI LAN is ADOREABLE!!!!
PAULA---I have never tried to keep my NE cam to stay on that long!!!---It always seems there is not a whole lot happening there---I must be missing something!!!
FOLLOW UP OF GOLDEN EAGLE FOUND INJURED IN WV in late January---The Pittsburgh's National Aviary has finally migrated to Canada---The aviary cared for the bird after its leg was caught in a coyote trap in WV--After it's recovery in March, veterinarians fitted the eagle with a tracking device & released it on New Creek Mountain in WV, where it had been found injured. It had stayed in that area until recently. Aviary officials had hoped the bird would follow other eagles to their breeding grounds in northern Canada. But they were not sure it would happen because the bird, estimated to be about 3 yrs, old, will not begin breeding for at least two years-----(The Charleston Gazette)
Hi Norma, yes the eagles are stll dancing in my head :). Trying to stay ahead of my studies this semester since I get 2 weeks off end of June. Hope all is well with you.
They need to outlaw any kind of traps that injure or kill animals, this is as much their earth as it is ours!!!
Hope everyone has had a chance to get out and enjoy this beautiful day. Silly me decided to transplant 2 black cherry trees and now I need to make sure it gets plenty of water.
And last but not least, my daughter decided to surprise me with a new fluffy kitten she brought home from school. She as a weekend to prove she can take care of all 3 now...ie: litterbox

GOOD WEDNESDAY MORNING EVERYONE Weather is going to change today. Storms are coming. Robyn, it is hard to say what is happening at BW, so much drama there this season.
Thanks for the new thread, Steven. Thanks for the heads up, Jim. Mom osprey off the eggs again this refresh. Sure hope she gets eomthing to eat or finds dad! Ok, on 2nd minute away.
She's back. 2 minutes.
Morning, Robynann and Mits. Yes, these ospreys have had a tough time of it this season! It's not usual for the male to up and leave, specially since they have eggs. I just hope he's ok, and can get back to mom soon!
Dang, meetings. Back later.
Nest Update
05/16/07:
Father Watch- We continue to look for images that show two ospreys on the nest. Our father osprey has not been around and the mother has had to do some fishing for herself.
LISA'S UPDATE ON OSPREY NEST
EGGS IN VIEW AT BW....
Osprey on side of nest, can't tell who it is.
There is an Osprey with a fish on the corner of the nest now...think it could be Dad.
Jim
Don't see the fish, but looks like a smaller osprey, can't see the chest.
Ok, I see the fish now, still can't see the chest.
How long can the ospreys stay off the eggs. I see somone feeding and what would one be looking for on the chest.
Robyn, the female has what looks like a necklace across her chest and male's chest would be plain white, when you see it you can tell right away, very distinctive looking.
Just got a pic of osprey, could not tell if it was a change or a dfensive mode....ROBYN NOT SURE HOW LONG THE EGGS CAN STAY WITHOUT SOMEONE ON IT, BUT WEATHER IS OK
Thank you Mits, now I have another bird to fret over.
I think they are defineitley ok to get off those eggs for awhile, esp with these nice days....
I can't tell who it is either, probably MOm
Sorry for that wild spelling :) Still on first cuppa joe.
Info on CT Osprey
May 15, 2007, 11 a.m. Osprey Cam is up and running . Thanks for your patience. Hatching expected "any day now."
-- Mara Neville
Osprey done eating at BW, settling back in on eggs
Morning, all :)
No fretting aloud, Robyn, this is nature, just like life we really have no control....save your fretting for the important stuff:):):).
Must have been mom back on eggs.
Well, Mom's had a good breakfast, saved some of the tail end, and is setting on the eggs again...don't know what was wrong, but at least part of it is fixed now.
Have a good day and I'll talk to you this evening,
Jim
TTYL, JIM.
Great pictures, Wanda. I can see Belle in the tree!
Thanks for the pics! Picked the wrong time to go to a meeting, short though it was...thankfully!!! Nice to know she's eating, even if she does have to catch it herself. Think in this weather it won't hurt the eggs to be unattended for a few minutes, it's nice out. But I sure would like to see 2 ospreys in the nest at the same time.
Kent eaglets are snoozing while parent in tree keeps an eye out for them. Falcons are asleep except for 1, who is looking around taking the world in. Too cute. All 4 owlets are tucked in their corner with mom on guard.

TTYL....off to zoo.
They have 4 eggs again at CT - hopefully more than one will hatch this year.
Morning, Heidigirl. That's not a book, that's interesting. Hope they get the whales where they can continue on their journey, with no harm to the whales!
Mits, have a ball at the zoo this afternoon. Give our love to Tai!
Mom Osprey at BW eating again
Time for me to hit the road. Sure hope dad osprey shows up today. Has anybody seen the Kent chicks get fed? Saw dad leave this morning, then Star arrived, but she didn't bring breakfast. Haven't seen Spirit since this morning. They're sleeping now, so I'm sure they're ok. Star is on branch watching them. One BW eaglet has been AWOL for a little over an hour. Testing his wings, I suppose.
All have a great eagle day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Parent arrived at VA w/ food? Chick mantling big time
WEAGLEs!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Was a short visit, but I did get some pics! First time I have seen them in awhile :)
2 VA chick watching 3rd one eating. Smallest one just moved closer, hoping for some leftovers.
Can only see 2 eaglets at VA
Parent at BW eaglet nest for lunch
Aha, 3rd VA chick off to the far right - can see her when the tree is really swaying.
Osprey standing up doesn't appear to have a necklace.
back on eggs now. Must be mom but couldn't see anything on the neck
Well, I figure it is well past time for me to check in. Been busy with the new job, trying to stay on task and work only 8 hours instead of 12. I hope everyone is well. I have missed you all!!
Howdy Sharon, glad to hear all is well!!
Hi, Paula!! How is it going with you?
Tired but very well, Sharon thanks.
Good Afternoon
On the BW osprey page Lisa has a link describing the possible situations about the osprey and the missing dad.
I do not know the tinyurl so I can't put in a link :(
Paula, have you heard anything from people on Catalina when the cams will be up and how much dammage was done?
Last I heard power was to be restored to most of the island in 1 week to 10 days. Dont' know what impact that will have on the cameras. If they dont' have to rerun the lines to the camera should be a problem
Thank you Jill. Loved the pictures. Its nice to know who I'm talking to. Jo has my picture.
HELLO!! Robyn, I tried to use the tinyurl, but don't have the time or patience right now. So Lisa's report is right on the osprey page aa a special edition of the opsprey log. Its just as easy to go right to it from here.
HELLO How was the Zoo crowd!
Our cam right now is very clear - just turned it on. Was reading the update on both eagle & osprey pages at BW. The clips on the eagles' page are really really good! Lisa caught some good ones. We had rain as you can see on the nest that WV had some too. Well, Megan's flowers were naturally watered!
The zoo was good, all of the animals on the Asia Trail were out, although most were sleeping.
Sure would be nice to see a visit to the nest while the cam is calm.
I'm so glad you stopped by today, Sharon:):):):)
The storms we had earlier are over Cambridge, Maryland now, at the BW nests.
I am happy that eagle eyed Sharon dropped in today also.
I think that Panda cam 2 is showing Tai & all his bamboo.
Yep, that's Tai.
EAGLE ALERT
OUR NEST
COOL
BOTH LIBERTY
& BELLE IN OUR NEST
BOTH.................
BELLE LEFT
ALL GONE.
Well it was sure nice to see them.
Got some good pics for album.
M T NEST
And I missed them. Went downstairs trying to get my brat dogs in (the two renegade boys - Buphals and Hairy). Of course, they wouldn't come in!
I got pics - I'll post them.
Did it rain in Bluefield today?
We got some - not much.
Going over to Momsters BBL
It rained a lot here today, a big pour down!
Just as I left the zoo, the skies opened up.
Chicks all by themselves at KENT.
Going to bed now. I have to get up at 5:30 a.m.
Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feathers and fur!
This evening's pics of nest visit
Cam 3 Kent is frozen but other 2 are running well. Keep looking for that daddy osprey - I think she is turning eggs now.
Saying
Good Night Everyone
Tomorrow is another day
Peace Be With You & Yours
Good Morning Suzanne
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE, HEADING TO OCEAN CITY TOMORROW:)
Anybody still on the blog? Mema Jo, Mits?
Jim
I just came back Jim. Have fun at the beach Mits. Wish I could go. Got my confirmation for July tho.
YOU CALLED?
Hahaha, yes I did, Mema Jo,
I was wondering if anyone had seen the male Osprey bring fish in for the female during the day today.
Then I opened AOL and looked at the first pic I sent this morning when the bird landed with the fish...I'm 99% sure that was the male...smaller beak and feet, male head markings, lands with fish in same place he lands, proceeds to eat the head end before giving the remainder to the female.

Paula must have seen her eating again (maybe the leftovers) close to the noon hour. No one has sighted the dad.She has been turning the eggs.
I keep checking but their cam will go off around 11:00 eagle land time.
Good Night All
Thank you for the pic Jo. Enjoy OC Mits.
I missed so much today between replanting 2 black cherry trees, spending time with my daughter and studying.
Tomorrow is another day.
Sweet dreams all
Thanks for the info, Mema Jo...
I believe we did see the Dad bring the fish this morn, and the Mom getting her breakfast...so maybe things aren't as black as feared for that pair.
I should also say good night, God bless you all... Good morning, Suzanne and the early crew.
Jim
Good morning, eagle world. Another day closer to Friday! Older I get, the longer the workweek gets! Nice night out 52° at my house, 61° here. Not as humid, so it feels chillier than it has in a couple days. Had some good rain yesterday afternoon, we sure needed it!

Ok, cam update. Our nest is MT, but a nice clear pic (shhhhhh), BW has one eaglet in nest, other one is probably on a branch. Only 1 osprey on eggs again today. Read Lisa's update on the osprey page, male was last seen Sunday morning. She gives some explanations on why the male would not be in the nest. Very interesting. Dark in PA, can't see the falcons, dark out west, and the barnowl cam is locked on last night at 2030. One of the owlets is stretching his wings in front of the cam on top view, showing his butt on side view. Cute pic when you look at both of them. Side view has a perfect shot of the owlets butt and that's all.
Oh! Jill! Thanks for the camera info on your Olympus!!
All have a great eagle day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Someone just arrived in our nest! You can see the tail, looks like Belle's but wouldn't swear to it!
Someone just arrived in our nest! You can see the tail, looks like Belle's but wouldn't swear to it!
Well, ok, they now turned around. Can't see tail, but head is in what used to be the egg cup.
Still there, standing in nest, looking around.
Still standing around looking comfy to be there.
Osprey on eggs, BW eaglets MIA, and cam is getting flakey! Falcons are coming into view, appear to be sleeping, and barnowl cam still frozen in time.
Getting daylight out, you can see head, tail, feet, and body, now.
Ok, up on perch now, must be Lib.
Ok, we're rearranging sticks now.
Ok, now standing in front of tree. I have no clue, thought this was Belle until they got on the perch. NEVER MIND BOTH THERE!!!
Dang, have to go for a sec.
Good morning Suzanne. I am watching these beauties too. Getting ready to start work. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Remember - do random acts of kindness. The rewards are great for the giver as well as the reciever!! :)
And now they are gone!
And Liberty is back.
One still in nest. May be Belle, standing in nest, but over by launch pad.
Oh, morning, Sharon! Thanks, had to go out, so couldn't watch them! Don't know if that's Lib or Belle, but it's nice to see whoever it is!
Enjoy your day at work!
Both BW chicks are eating something, osprey just turned her eggs, butback on them now. Falcon has something huge for breakfast!
BOTH THERE AGAIN!!!
Lib came back, had a big stick. I see new leaves.
Belle's getting a branch to move.
Couldn't tell if she moved the branch or not, but now Lib has his beak open getting ready to get a stick.
Both still there, just watching the world go by.
Lib moved over next to Belle.
Lib just left, Belle still there by tree.
Dang, knew it. Cam started messing up, got one more pic, now Belle's gone. MT nest. Bad pic.
OH, no, she's way up by the tree. Belle still in nest!
Belle still there by tree, looking around.
Now she's right up by the tree. Almost hiding, but she is there. Can see her white head and part of her body.
Ok, she either took off, or she's WAY up by the tree and invisible to the cam.
Nah, she's gone. Phew, that was exciting.
BW parent brought something to the nest, and an eaglet came to investigate. Nest has been MT for a while. Chick started eating leftovers, but decided whatever mom or dad had looked better, so now over there begging some of theirs.
Good eagle morning Suzanne and Sharon.
I see where you have been watching our eagles in our nest already this morning. Sounds like they still like their home. :)
Never got on after work yesterday, as our company was home. Soooo I hope to be able to get on my son's computer a little bit while I am there. Doesn't look good for the drive. I'm hoping rain up your way and along 95 will be done when I get there. I hate being on 95 in the rain.
I'll be trudging out of school about 1:30pm I hope for the trip to Winchester. I see Mits os going to OC. I hope she has a safe trip and good weather.
Morning, Candy. Not raining now, storms stopped late yesterday afternoon. Think it stopped at my house around 5 or so, cause I waited until it was over to feed the birds. Believe we are supposed to get more rain this afternoon, but wouldn't swear to that! What time are you coming to Lancaster?
Well, children are going to start coming in. Thank goodness our school year is winding down; only about 2 and a half weeks left for children. :) We are all ready to get out of here! Then come August, I can't wait to get back. Go figure.
Well, be back Monday night. You all take care of all of those precious babies out there and keep an eye on our nest. I'll try to get in and read the blogs. All havae a good day.
Candy
Oops, was posting while you posted and didn't see it. My mistake, Winchester is your destination. Where did I get Lancaster?
Mits, have a safe trip to OC!!!
Pics of this mornings visit have been sent.
Have a safe trip, Candy, and enjoy your visit!
Suzanne, hopefully I'll be reaching Josh's house around 7pm if the traffic and weather are good to me. Like I said, I hate 95.
TTUL
We are going to Lancaster on Friday to the Sight and Sound productions of Adam and Eve and then back to my son's house until Monday am. Then I'll head back to the beach.
As you say, eyes to the skies.
A fun nest visit with Lib and Belle and chatter with the Momsters. what a fun way to start the day.
Good morning all. hey has anyone got a fly swatter I coul dborrow some days you just need one for each hand?
Ok, thought I remembered something about Lancaster, but then thought it might have been someone else. I hate 95 too! You be careful, and have a good weekend and trips!
Morning, Glo. I've got a couple, but my arms aren't that long to give them to you. Suggestion...get a cat or two. They're big hunters when they catch a fly or something! Goes right to their head, and they just prance all over the place!
Getting daylight in Kent. Can see an adult in the nest. One of the BW chicks is in the nest, other one is AWOL. Our nest is MT, but we had a nice visit this morning. Owl cam is still down, closed it. Falcon chicks have eaten twice, now 3 are sleeping and 1 is sitting up looking around. The egg that refuses to break completely is still there.
Oh, and mom osprey still on her eggs.
That's Spirit with the chicks.
Kent chicks have a big fish for breakfast!
Darn, neither one of the BW cams is updating. Maybe they're doing something with the server, or something. Falcons are eating again, too.
Good Morning Suz
Time for another cup of coffee--no; just looked at the time. Time for breakfast. Have a great day.
GOOD A.M. EAGLE BUDDIES!!!--It's a cloudy day in WV--temp. 56°---HELLO SUZANNE---SHARON---CANDY--WANDA & GLO!!!--You are correct GLO--It's always a GLORIOUS DAY when LIB & BELLE are in the nest!!!--CANDY--You will enjoy the play at LANCASTER!!---The use live animals!!--AWESOME!---SAFE TRIP--SHARON is getting ready for ANDREW'S GRAD.---One "PROUD MAMA"---SUZANNE--If things get too hectic here--We can always join MITS at the beach!!--I heard her say---"COME ON DOWN"---(maybe that was Bob Barker, i heard)--ho!---WANDA (a new friend) is related to the Sheriff of WINCHESTER & JILL (a new friend) knows all the WV State Police in Eastern Panhandle!!---WOW!---CONNECTIONS---CONNECTIONS--This is just too much!---ho! ho!---4 OWLETS in the nest!!!---LIFE IS GOOD!!!!
Morning, CostumeLady. Have a great day today! Nice out, but windy. We had a good rain last night...or yesterday afternoon. Didn't have to water my plants!
Morning, Normabyrd. Didn't see you when I posted. Is the owl cam back up? It was frozen this morning, and I finally closed it. Nice to know all 4 are still there!
Falcons are having a coffee clatch in their nest bed. Oh yea, as I write that, all heads went down for another nap. So much for them being up and talking...
BW cams are still frozen, our nest MT, and osprey is on eggs in WA. Kent chicks have had breakfast and are now napping. Parent left a little while ago. I was reading something Lorraine and Garry have on their site, and seems squirrels live in the "basement" of the eagle nest! That might explain why we keep seeing George and friends all the time...they live there too!
Good Morning I'm up and getting ready for some "too early for me" morning appointments. I admit I am a night owl not an early bird.
Got all this am visit pics from Suzanne - thanks! Will place in album upon my return.
Glo I don't need the fly swatters yet - I need ant spray!
Everyone make it a good day for yourself and others!
PA FALCONS CHICKS are enjoying the a.m.----"Breathing in all that pollution from the traffic"---But they don't seem to mind---EGG still with them too!!!---Aren't they adorable--stepping on each other!!----See a parent's wing hanging down!!!
Note from Lisa: Power is out at the refuge, and they may not have it back until this afternoon. Guess that's why the cams aren't updating!
Morning, Jo. Have a good day at your early appointments! At least you can take a nap this afternoon!
Falcons are adorable, Norma. Love watching them. With all those wing leftovers, they probably don't even notice the car pollution! Course I guess they can't smell too good anyway. That's probably a very good thing!
Good morning, everyone...
Have a great day.
Jim
MORNIN' JO & JIM!!!---JIM--Are you following the whale story there in CA?--OH!!--How I hope they get them back to the ocean!!!!----JO--Just think how good it will feel to get through all these appts. this a.m.

Nice clear pic of our nest. There really is a ton of sticks in it!

Hey Norma - does your NE cam stay on more than 10 minutes now? Mine does -
PAULA---I have never tried to keep my NE cam to stay on that long!!!---It always seems there is not a whole lot happening there---I must be missing something!!!
Well, I guess NE would stay on longer if the batteries were more charged up! Weak signal from there today.
They were eating a little while ago - now they are just hanging out.
VA chick is eating a fish, but you get the back end view!!
FOLLOW UP OF GOLDEN EAGLE FOUND INJURED IN WV in late January---The Pittsburgh's National Aviary has finally migrated to Canada---The aviary cared for the bird after its leg was caught in a coyote trap in WV--After it's recovery in March, veterinarians fitted the eagle with a tracking device & released it on New Creek Mountain in WV, where it had been found injured. It had stayed in that area until recently. Aviary officials had hoped the bird would follow other eagles to their breeding grounds in northern Canada. But they were not sure it would happen because the bird, estimated to be about 3 yrs, old, will not begin breeding for at least two years-----(The Charleston Gazette)
The two EAGLETS in the KENT nest---are sitting up side by side waiting for MOM--DAD--OR FOOD!!!
BW OSPREY sitting on nest!!!---EAGLE NEST MT---EAGLETS must be branching----
CO EAGLETS SLEEPING---alone in the nest!!!-----Not much happening this afternoon in the EAGLETS' NESTS!

EAGLE ALERT
NEW THREAD UP
GOTTA GO!
Hi Norma, yes the eagles are stll dancing in my head :). Trying to stay ahead of my studies this semester since I get 2 weeks off end of June. Hope all is well with you.
They need to outlaw any kind of traps that injure or kill animals, this is as much their earth as it is ours!!!
Hope everyone has had a chance to get out and enjoy this beautiful day. Silly me decided to transplant 2 black cherry trees and now I need to make sure it gets plenty of water.
And last but not least, my daughter decided to surprise me with a new fluffy kitten she brought home from school. She as a weekend to prove she can take care of all 3 now...ie: litterbox
