Suzanne and Glo, that video was priceless. I was watching at the time, but did see some pics that I missed. Good pic taking Suzanne and Glo, thanks for putting them together in a video. It was truly great to watch! Candy

carolinabeachmom said...

I hope you all had a nice fun weekend. All eyes have been on the blue bird nest, but nothing yet. Time out while I pull up our bird families.

Jill said...

I let Norma be first. Afraid she might come after me with that cane if I didn't. LOL. No, I had somebody at my door then forgot to come back.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' CANDY!!---Remember we are not LATE STARTERS-----SUZANNE is just an EARLY RISER!!--ho!---THANKS JIM for info!!!

Alot of new people some I remember and some I will get to know.

Mema Jo said...

Hello to Everyone in Eagleland from this not too late of a riser this Monday morning I thought I best get my Hello in before I go over on the other thread and also finish reading this one. Something tells me I should quickly check out Mrs Bluebird's nest........ BRB

normabyrd said...

HI JILL!!!----You are SO VERY KIND & you know I need all the help I can get!!!---I saw that DAM #4 you all were talking about on NEWS 25-----That's where those 2 guys dumped the woman's body they had killed----CRAZY STUFF!!---

paula eagleholic said...

MOrning, all. Wasn't on here until late last night, then everyone was asleep :) Had a cookout yesterday. Busy, Busy.

The West end cam in CA - they are going to try to repair, but no guarantees. Dr Sharpe will probably post video on the forum....

Two Harbors - The eaglets are walking down a "ramp" towards the cam. That is why you see their heads and wings there - they haven't fledged yet...

Suzanne said...

Morning, All. Had a post, and Blogger cop got it again..
Thanks for the new thread, Steven. Thanks for the heads up Jill and Jim. Jim, thanks for posting the Kestral site. Neat site! Gave me an idea how to put wire on the inside of my nestboxes, instead of trying to make little saw marks for a ladder, so the chicks can get out. Like the wire idea much better!

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, lots of folks on here this morning. Morning Norma, Dana, Jo, Jim, Suz, Candy and anyone else I missed!

wvgal_dana said...

Mema Jo you have mail

wvgal_dana said...

Suzanne said...

Mrs. B showing her eggs!!!

Suzanne said...

Kent parent just arrived with fuzzy food. Bot eaglets taking over. The show is about to begin. Oh, looks like he has a mouse too!

paula eagleholic said...

Dana -

Finland osprey cam

http://www.saaksi.fi./

Mema Jo said...

Hello Dana! You're right about a lot of love in here - no one would dare go after Norma now that she bought that eagle cane! She keeps us straight one way or the other.. And I have not seen or heard of her raising cane - oops raising Her cane to anyone! (She is always raising Cane - after all that's her middle name)
lol All the new bloggers get to know her quickly and they love her immediately.

Suzanne said...

My god, look at that big thing. What is it? Has a mouse in his talons, but what is the thing by the eaglets??
Squaking for help with the feeding, I think.

carolinabeachmom said...

Boy Santa Cruz' last chick is really trying to fly out of that nest. Today might be the day! I feel sorry for the poor fella, as he is the only one left. Yesterday one of his siblings came back to sit with him for awhile.

Suzanne said...

Looks like our big girl is gonna attack the big meal, whatever it is. Little boy is watching, parent still squaking for help.

Mema Jo said...

Checking out emails..........

ButaButa is up!

Suzanne said...

I hope that's not another chicken! That farmer is not gonna be a happy camper, if the eagles keep stealing his chickens!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Santa Crud just had his morning poop shoot, so now maybe he is reaty to fly. :) He is really getting some good air time over and back and forth on the nest.

carolinabeachmom said...

Puget sound eagles are still have awake. And yes Jim, Norfolk is showing some good close ups of the babu ? chicks.

Suzanne said...

Uh oh, parent didn't get any answer to the calls, so he's in tree now! Left the eaglets to fend for themselves. Left the mouse, and big girl is attcking the large whatever it is. Little boy just watching.

Suzanne said...

Here we go...steal by the little one. Or is that just a move to more private area by big one? Whichever, he's dragging it to keep to himself.

Suzanne said...

Pig. Dragged the big whatever out of the way, now has feet on the mouse or whatever the little thing was. Now dragging big thing again. Man, you guys need to watch this.

Suzanne said...

It's a duck. And seems that's the big lady, now has it on top of the little mouse, and the male is just watching...as is parent in tree.

Suzanne said...

Parent Kestral feeding chicks.

carolinabeachmom said...

Jim's NY Kestrels have been up and
Wide awake this morning and now seem to be ...Parent is back in nest. Maybe feeding time.

Suzanne said...

Oh, Puget Sound eaglet off cam!

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE----WOW!!---What is that EAGLET trying to eat??---Another chicken??---MOM seems to be ignoring him!!!!----Did MOM just drop that in the nest!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

It looks as Santa Cruz has had enough for the moment and is resting. Kent eaglets are both up and in separate corners.

carolinabeachmom said...

Here comes Mama to feed the chicks? who are still on either side of the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Candy - Santa Cruz A63 is an only child....

Two Harbors has 2 eaglets, West End has 3.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh yea, A63's name is Limuw - it is the Chumash Indian word for Santa Cruz Island.

carolinabeachmom said...

Santa Cruz eaglet is up and looks like ready for more tries.

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Paula

Don't know where the duck or chicken is being eaten but I have to leave. Enjoy the cams everyone hope to be on again soon.

normabyrd said...

DANA----KENT site---DUCK being eaten!!

normabyrd said...

THANKS JIM!----That is a GREAT SITE!!----WATCH EAGLES in FEB.---Didn't realize the KERSTEL was that colorful!!!!

Costume Lady said...

NORMA--
It doesn't look as if Mom at Kent is going to share.--Maybe you will have to get your cane out!

Jill said...

Hey Norma. Yes it is getting crazy down here. All over drugs most likely. I knew all 3 of those involved, now we have a suspicious death at a known drug hang out. I think we will soon see another drug raid like the ones in 85-86. They are going to have to do something soon.

Jo-Buta Buta was putting on quite a show earlier. Running around, hanging from the hammock, she will sleep good this afternoon. LOL

normabyrd said...

JO---In all the excitment at KENT-----I think I forgot to say MORNIN'!!---Isn't it GREAT to see DANA feeling better!!!

Jill said...

Momma and baby playing in Atlanta. So cute

carolinabeachmom said...

Thanks for setting me straight, Paula. Watching too many cams at once. :)

paula eagleholic said...

BW eagle cam will be up until the end of July

normabyrd said...

Is STAR going to SHARE??---The DUCK gets smaller & smaller!! ---Ho!-----Can't imagine what it would be like to see an EAGLE SWOOP down & fly off with a DUCK!!----KENT keeps us entertained every a.m.!!

normabyrd said...

DARN!!!--JILL---By the time I clicked on the ATLANTA BEAUTY!!!---GUESS WHAT???----sleeping on the top log!!---LOVE watching her tease LUN LUN!---She is "strong" little thing!!!----Wish she had a tree!!---She would be up as fast as TAI was!!

normabyrd said...

WHO got the DUCK!!!----phone---missed it!!

Suzanne said...

BW eaglet in nest, think he may have some food. Osprey in BW. too funny about Kent, don't think they got much. Mom didn't get any help feeding them, so she ate it herself. Kent chicks are looking for leftovers. Think it may be raining in Finland, looks like water drops on parent's back. Mrs B back on her 5 eggs, and still can't see eaglet in Puget Sound. good to see so many people on here this early!

Suzanne said...

Norma, mom ate the whole thing!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, look at VA

carolinabeachmom said...

Chick glad to see parent back in Santa Curz nest.

normabyrd said...

PA has 1 FALCON----Was in the nest box earlier when it rained---came outside----now he is back down by the nest box!!!

normabyrd said...

NORFOLK has 1 LARGE "REBEL" looking
directly at you---COOL!!----RICHMOND HIGH-RISE FALCON has her back to us!!!---She has 2 for sure & maybe 3---Her "BIG" eyes are BEAUTIFUL!!

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE----"I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE ATE THE WHOLE THING!!!"----(couldn't resist)---ho!

carolinabeachmom said...

Poor think, parent didn't stay long. Maybe it is out getting breakfast. Let's hope. It has to be very lonely being all alone in the nest.

normabyrd said...

MS. FIN looks like she is soaked!!---But she is keeping the little ones dry---"UNDER HER WINGS"!!!---
bet a little head is out!

normabyrd said...

CANDY!!---I AGREE---#63 is my FAVORITE---Must be terrible being on that mt. ALL ALONE!!---But he is a "SCRAPPY" little EAGLET!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Paula, that eagle in Norfolk keeps telling something off. Maybe he is just calling to his family.

carolinabeachmom said...

Norma, # 63 has sreally been doing a lot of wing flapping yesterday, and again today. Maybe he'll be soaring high in the sky with the rest of his eagle friends shortly. Let's hope.

Suzanne said...

Eaglet still in BW, but you can see the fish skeleton by foot. Too funny...
Osprey still hanging out in BW. Our nest MT, cam comes and goes. PA falcon on ledge having a meal. Mrs Finland getting soaked, but water rolling right off looks like. Storks talking up a storm, pretty Mrs B back on eggs, WDFW burrowing owls are coming out, and Puget Sound eaglet back i nest. Maybe he was on a branch. Love the Kestrals, one is at the entrance looking like he wants to go. I'll have to read up on them, I read what you guys were saying here, but when will they be ready to fledge? One is right up to the cam, bottom of page. Wow, colorful! Well, wow, did they go??? Or one of them went, I think. Anybody else watching them? Yup, one in bottom of nest box now, one at door. Other one no longer there.

Suzanne said...

Also looks like the egg that was in the top kestral nest is broken. Didn't think it was earlier this morning.

Suzanne said...

Ah, BW eagle cam just went to lunch!

Suzanne said...

It's back, now our cam is out to lunch.

paula eagleholic said...

That Eaglet at VA is funny. Yup, keeps yawning and yelling!

Suzanne said...

Time for me to hit the road. BW eaglets are now laying next to each other, parent in tree watching. They get along great, if they'res no food around to fight over!
Mrs B is/was off the eggs again. Keep an eye out in case today is the day.
Kestrals are all back in nestbox, so guess none of them left.
All have a great day. Gonna stop by the library on way home.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

normabyrd said...

SAFE JOURNEY HOME SUZANNE!!!---Give my BEST to GYPSY!!!--

carolinabeachmom said...

SUZANNE have a safe trip home. Talk to you tomorrow. Candy

carolinabeachmom said...

The eaglet in Santa Cruz has gotten himself down to the very bottom of the nest, almost out of sight. He is working his way back up every now and then. I thought that maybe he was getting to take his maiden flight. Guess not.

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE IS SUPER!!!---She keeps us MOVIN'!!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Two parents now in Kent nest with the eaglets. Must be a family reunion! One just lift. Short family gathering.

Mema Jo said...

A person can really get caught up in the cam-demania! So much to look at.
Most of the cam if you double click come up full monitor...VA eaglet almost lost his balance in accomplishing his Poop Shoot - & then boy oh boy - he really scolded us for watching! lol

carolinabeachmom said...

Yes PAULA, that Norfolk eaglet is quit the chatty one.

normabyrd said...

"THE LITTLE PRINCE" is ADORABLE---He is so "WARM"---He is lying on a grate---with his arm over his eyes!!---(If I am correct)---MITS says that is his favorite place in hot weather---COOL AIR--UP FROM GRATE!!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

NORMA Suzanne sure is. She is really something else with her blog. We can all be thankful that we have her on here.

normabyrd said...

JO--YOU GOT IT!!---Seemed this a.m.---just too much to see in such a short time!!----JUST saw 3 burrowing owls at KENT!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Well our guest just came back in, so I have to be getting off for awhile. He has been getting a lot of email from Poland popping up on the screen. I guess I had better let him have it.
Watch Ms. B and take pics. Also keep an eye on Santaa Cruz. BBL

Mema Jo said...

Check out ButaButa and LunLun's sleeping positions. lol
I hope there is cool air coming up out of that grate, but it is probably just there for drainage. I would think he would be sitting in the Mist they have around the yard.

Mema Jo said...

Mrs Bluebirds five eggs are all still intact! No cracks visible.

Question: Why don't songbirds roll their eggs like the eagles & osprey? Or do they?

Jill said...

Looks like nappy time in the panda world. The grate probably is a little cooler, open underneath so air can flow a little bit and if water is in there it might be moving and causing a cooling effect.

Maybe I will go take a nap too. Too much excitement for one day. LOL

MITS said...

GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE Summer cold time here in Bethesda, not feeling great, but this too shall pass. JO, the mist does reach Tai even though he is on the grate. These pandas pick a spot that they like and there is no moving them til they find another spot....You all have a good day, and, thanks to Suzanne for keeping us abreast of the latest goings on. Great video. GLO AND SUZANNE:).

Mema Jo said...

Camera operator is having his "15 min plus of fame" today in VA! AWESOME

MITS said...

OH MY!!! WHAT A WONDERFUL PIC AT VA:).

Costume Lady said...

GOOD AFTERNOON JILL, JO, NORMA, MITS AND CANDY--
Jo, Mrs. B has been turning her eggs, if that is your question. I have taken photos of her eggs each day just to look for changes and nearly each time I take a pic., the eggs are in a different position. If you will notice, the eggs look as if they are polished. I quess it is from turning them so often and sliding around on them when she comes and goes on the nest.

normabyrd said...

MITS---SORRY! you aren't up to par---Not fun to not feel good in hot weather!!!----Wanted to ask about LITTLE MAGGIE---Is she better?

MITS said...

Thanks, Norma, Maggie is doing much better.

MITS said...

WOW!!!! is all I can say watching VA.

Mema Jo said...

Feeding time at the Dennis Puleston nest


Osprey nest - 2 chicks

normabyrd said...

WHOA!!!!----"BELIEVE ME THIS IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!----I was watching IWS---Checked into the DISCUSSION, ETC.---GO DOWN to the name BIRD on left---There you can see (as you scan down) several interesting pics, etc.---CONTINUE UNTIL YOU REACH 1)a SAN DIEGO NEWS ARTICLE & 2)A VIDEO---DR. SHARPE IS BANDING the 3 EAGLETS in a Nest!!!---THIS IS REALLY--REALLY COOL WATCHING!!!!

Mema Jo said...

Thanks for the info Wanda! I remember reading that the eggs do become 'shiny' as they are incubated. She is such a pretty little lady - her face is so sweet (I guess it is ok to say a bird has a sweet face) because she surely does!

Those 4 little kestrels move all over that nest box!

normabyrd said...

ALSO GREAT EAGLE PICTURES TOO!!---on the info I just gave you all!!
OF COURSE JO WILL LIKE THE PICS OF DR. SHARPE!!!---He's COOL!

Mema Jo said...

FIRST BABY BLUEBIRD HAS HATCHED

whoo hoo!!!!!

normabyrd said...

JO!!!---I AGREE those OSPREY CHICKS at the DENNIS PULESTON nest are "CUTIES"------Need to check & see how old they are----

MITS said...

I THINK I SEE 2?????

Costume Lady said...

Thanks JO--
I have been sitting here all day and I missed that shot.
Relieved to know her eggs are fertile.

normabyrd said...

CAN'T FIND THE BLUEBIRDS!!!

MITS said...

norma, you have mail.

Mema Jo said...

I'm thinking I see 2 now
Wanda Do they hatch one right after the other even though they were laid on different days?

I can't take credit for the shot.
My friend from the Kent Forum (Barb from UT) better know as Grandma caught it!

Mema Jo said...

Barb from UT on the Kent Forum said
concerning the bluebird hatchings

They're popping out like stars
in the night


You all would like Grandma Barb!

Mema Jo said...

Little bluebird's mouth is already opening for food!

Jill said...

ARe there 2 or 3? I can't tell for sure. Definitely two little sets of eyes.

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Jo, they should all hatch around the same time. Right now, I only see two.

Mema Jo said...

Wanda What happens to the
egg shell when they hatch? I don't really see the first 2 empty shells..

Jill said...

Steven just posted a new thread. About children and nature. Didn't read it all but you guys might want to head over there. Going back to finish reading it now.

normabyrd said...

STEVEN JUST POSTED A NEW THREAD!!!
YOU ALL COME ON OVER!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Catalina Update -

We’ve been trying to figure out what’s wrong with our Two Harbors cam and it seems to be that one of the chicks has pulled a cable out of the camera because we are net even getting a picture at the first receiver site and all the batteries are working well. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to get out there for another 6 weeks.
We are currently working on the West End cam. We’ll keep you posted.
Steff


Now you know why one eaglet at the Two Harbors nest was named RASCAL! ROFLMAO!!
