Costume Lady said...

Good Afternoon Sandy, Jill, Paula and Jo.
It looks like Mrs.B is in "Labor" again.

MITS said...

THANK YOU, STEVEN Later everyone...Yes, Jo when I have loons up does some strange things to puter.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh My, 17 eggs. Lots of chicks to look after!

Costume Lady said...

Mrs. B is out of "Labor" now--1 more egg.

movin said...

AH HA!...I've been to Jackson Hole 2 or 3 or 4 times as I was going to or coming from Yellowstone.

It's a great little town, full of interesting western restaurants and bars...very 'historical' looking and feeling.

I love that whole area of the Country, and I recommend it to anyone who hasn't been there.

Enjoy it to the max, Steve.

Jim

movin said...

Check the fog bank rolling into the Kent nest area.

No adults visible in the tree now.

paula eagleholic said...

Preening, now.

NillaWafer said...

Hi Jo yes its a beautiful sight after not seeing her for awhile

Mema Jo said...

NillaWafer said...

Cam has those awful colored lines now.. but she is still there

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Belle to me, Nilla.

movin said...

By the way there are pictures and videos of the S. Cruz banding yesterday on the IWS Discussion page...under the heading "All eagles all the time."

Santa Cruz banding


Jim

NillaWafer said...

Think she is thinking of taking off or watching something off to the right

Mema Jo said...

Hi Nilla! I can never tell one from the other when I have to look down on them. Sitting in Belle's spot!

NillaWafer said...

yup she is gone... By Belle

paula eagleholic said...

Jim - The all eagles all the time thread has been there. Everyone posts their pictures and videos there on a daily basis.

Belle is gone :(

Mema Jo said...

This year the nest really does get the shade -

NillaWafer said...

the way to tell them apart is looking at their shoulders Belle is much broader across and her head is bigger... Hi Jim

NillaWafer said...

question is Sc kid ok i read where it was not moving much last night and something was wrong with it ????? I looked in today and its setting in the nest

movin said...

Looks more like leaves in our nest to me, Ladies...unless she left already.

My picture sometimes clears if I click F5 to refresh it.

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, Jo, More shade than last year!

NillaWafer said...

LOL its all the eagle poop shoots over the edge making the tree grow.. lol fertizer Jo..

paula eagleholic said...

Jo, I am going to load all my pics to the group....but will caption them later....they are in time order....I'm heading home...

Mema Jo said...

No problem Paula - Safe trip up RT 15

I agree with you Nilla - that sycamore has a lot of leaves.
Nilla, I am so proud that you're not smoking - I am so happy I can say the same!
I need to get moving - gong to church this evening.......BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Nilla - SC eaglet seems ok today!

NillaWafer said...

I think what has helped also is knowing now just how BAD it smells on you and your clothing.. nose is very senstive it smoke now... Paula if you havent gone to Dave & Janes recently you should.. I will be up there for my birthday July 1st with family..

Steve Chase said...

Jackson was much more fun. I'm stuck in Denver with a 2 hour flight delay...

paula eagleholic said...

I don't envy you Steve! The price to pay, eh? :)

NillaWafer said...

I love to just set and people watch in air ports... alot of funny looking n weird people to watch...lol Safe flight back home Steven

paula eagleholic said...

That's for sure, Nilla!

NillaWafer said...

Coming soon!
May 27: Frodo and Frieda are back and aggressively defending their nesting ledge. We're getting ready for another season of intimate pics and video of our favourite falcon family.

Our favorite couple of Peregrine Falcons from down under will have the camera back on soon for those of us who watch late at night also...

NillaWafer said...

Just had a customer who lives up on Rt 9 at the Woods Resort tell me there was an adult eagle they saw up there in a tree... Thats towards Berkeley Springs...

MITS said...

HELLO EVERYONE.....BOOYAH Rags-to-Riches, the philly won the Belmont Stakes....you go girl:):)!

Jill said...

Nilla, could that be one Belle and Libs babies. How long have they been around? I forget.

Mema Jo said...

Jill, they haven't been around long enough for any of their kids to be an white headed adult yet. Takes about 4-5 years for those feathers to come in. There are really quite a few eagles up and down your area of the Potomac per Steve.

Steve I hope you're on your way home now Unless you have had another delay.... You'll make it!

Costume Lady said...

I was just checking in on the Loons and noticed they have the report back on the egg that was removed. If you haven't had a chance to read it, do so. Interesting.

Mema Jo said...

Yeah Mits - leave it to a woman to win!

Osprey on platform at BW
Don't know how we will know when the CO eaglets fledge??? NE cam has been down for days. VA cam is a hunt & find puzzle.. Our cam needs a reboot or something! Anxious to hear from Steve what is proposed for our cam in the near future.....

Mema Jo said...

Wanda With that kind of remark I guess I best get over there - how suspenseful!

Mema Jo said...

Wanda - that was a very thorough report wasn't it? She almost had a second little loon.

Costume Lady said...

How thoughtful of them to get back to us so soon and let us know what the fate of the egg was. I guess Little LuLu will be my "Special One" for quite awhile. I was absolutely smitten with her and her antics. I hope we can see her often.

NillaWafer said...

I have not seen the loons live on cam yet... they are beautiful birds... and no Jill i dont think this could have been a kid of Lib & Belle.. its was a full growen eagle maybe heading up towards Romney possibly... Better tell Norma to keep and eye out...lol

Jill said...

It could be one from Romney. They have been up there for years. Not unlikely they have strayed out to BS. Not that far by air.

HEY NORMA-Keep your eagles up there. LOL

normabyrd said...

Mema Jo said...

NCTC Eagle History

movin said...

Good evening, everybody...
Having a good Saturday, I hope.

Norma and I are really charged up about the Belmont Stakes and the fact that the filly 'Rags to Riches' was the first filly to win it in 102 years!!
Don't know about you bloggers...like the horses or not?

Turns out the very first Belmont in 1867 was won by a filly also.
There are videos on UTube if you want to catch it.

I too watched ALL of one series of the Santa Cruz banding videos, Nilla, and I probably will look for clips of the tree climbing before and after as well. They are decent quality and easy to view...very interesting. The stills are good too.

Well, have a good night and a great Sunday. I'm going to check some nests and then close this operation for the night.

Jim

Mema Jo said...

I am also closing down for the evening

Good Night Eagle Buddies

MITS said...

Thank You Paula and Jo....I have been fooling around with the puter and playing games tonight, didn't realize what time it was...GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE:)

sunny said...

Good Sunday Morning, Eagleland! I haven't been able to post much lately, but I do read the logs when I get a chance. I missed the banding, and appreciate all your comments. And I have never seen the loon chicklet. Saw a parent float by once, and I guess I saw a parent on the nest one morning.

Nice day expected here in Eagleland today. We went hiking and then kayaking yesterday - so probably too tired to do much today. See y'all later!

Oops, one adult and one eaglet in BW nest, nobody home at OUR nest, and that's as far as I've been so far.

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning Sunny:
If you missed the banding, go back a few spaces to 3:43pm to MOVIN'S comments and he has a link to the video of the banding.

Robyn said...

Good morning everyone,

I am having such a hard time catching up as there seems to be so many posts this weekend.

I took my daghter and my brothers 2 boys to the Potomac river close to dam 4, for those who do not know WV it is close to NCTC. Of course I had my eye to the skies looking for eagles but there were none to be seen. I was very surprised at how many herons there were and how close they got to us. Plenty of swallows and bright yellow birds and minnows nipping at our ankles.

Suzanne if yo get to read this I believe No. 4 owlet in Benicia is a female she has spots on her :).

Can't seem to see the Va cam all that well and it looked frozen.

Guess I will peek in on the cams and see how the bird world is doing.

Have a wonderful day all, looks like it is going to be a gorgeuos day here.

Jo my pool will finally be open this weekend, It was such a busy summer last year I didn't get to open it so to took extra care this year to get it back to normal.
