Mrs. B is back on her nest.
Still no breakfast at Kent; Babes have gone back to sleep.

GOOD MORNING ROBYNANN--
Not much going on yet this morning.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Steve for the new thread. You have a happy weekend, too.

paula eagleholic said...

In case you didn't know, a transmitter went out on the West End Nest on Catalina. Unless the one part they have will fix it, that nest will be down for the rest of the season :( However, if that happens, Dr Sharpe will post video from the cam. The cam is working, the problem is getting the signal back to the web.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING PAULA--
Glad someone else is tuning in--I have been talking to myself for sometime now.
Still no breakfast for eaglets in Kent.
No breakfast for Pandas.
3 sleeping owls (can't see #4)
Mrs. B asleep on eggs.
No one seems to want breakfast but me, so I am outta here. Later

paula eagleholic said...

Enjoy your breakfast! I'll get mine tomorrow!

Robyn said...

Wanda No. 4 is probably hidden behind his/her siblings. Just made pancakes for my litle sleepyhead now I can check in on the cams...

Mema Jo said...

I'm sure not an early bird - Thanks for the new thread, Steve.
Glad you saw our pair this am, Candy. The leaves really are blocking our view of our nest - but are making a pretty frame.
Daughter is coming to pick me up There are things to be done for grandson's wedding on 7-7-7. Just like Paula, I need a cool dry weather prayer for that date as the wedding is outside.
Wanda - Thanks ahead of time! I know you are going to watch MsB and get a shot of the 1st hatch!
Pancakes - Robyn? Yummy!

Talk with you all when I return..

MITS said...

GOOD MORNING ALL, HAVE A GOOD SATURDAY Great running commentary this a.m. Candy and Wanda.

MITS said...

Mrs B is on and off the eggs this a.m. the one in the middle may have a little peccking going on.

paula eagleholic said...

07/07/07 - That is the popular wedding date for this year! My girlfriend is getting married on that date too. Indoor wedding. But I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for good weather on that date for all the brides and grooms!

MITS said...

Paula, not only is Aaron getting married on 7/7/07, he is getting married at 7:00p.m.:)

Costume Lady said...

I feel certain Mrs. B's eggs are hatching--she has been constantly moving her head for about 5 min.

paula eagleholic said...

Cool, I didn't know it was Aaron getting married. Hmmm, I know of another couple doing the same thing...wonder if it is the same couple? Or if everyone had to add in the 7pm on top of it.

paula eagleholic said...

Nice closeup at VA!!

Costume Lady said...

Wow! Another Momster Family wedding. Hope we get to see photos posted like Paula's Son's wedding.
LOVE weddings.

carolinabeachmom said...

Goodmorning again Wanda, and welcome Mits, Jo, Paula and Robynann. Just got myself back and going again from being up so early this morning.

carolinabeachmom said...

Looks like the lucky 7's are popping up in July. We'll pray for sunny weather for both; not too hot, just sunny.

carolinabeachmom said...

Awwww 5 eggs still in Mrs. B's nest. :(

carolinabeachmom said...

I just checked in on BW and there was no eagles and one osprey. Kent chicks are sitting side by side with no indication that they had any trouble sharing their food yesterday. :)

Richmond babyes are resting with their mother. Finland Mom is still hovering over her chicks.

carolinabeachmom said...

Parent Kestral just came back to babies. Can't see a thing as she is over them. I see 3 barn owls sleeping away after having a night out on the town. ;)

carolinabeachmom said...

Ms. B has left her eggs for awhile now and I don't see any signs of cracking yet. They are beautiful and shiny.....all 5 of them.

carolinabeachmom said...

I wish I had seen the chicken brought into the Kent nest for munching on. Amazing that they are fair game; plus all the fewther picking etc. It must have been something to watch.

Costume Lady said...

CANDY--
I have my Grandson this weekend and I have to get away from this puter and spend some time with him. Take pics of Mrs. B's babies if they hatch while I'm gone.
BBL

carolinabeachmom said...

Ms. B does seem fidgety this morning. You are right Wanda. She can't seem to sit still or in one position for very long.

carolinabeachmom said...

Paula, that was a nice close up of a Norflok baby but now the camera has pulled back to look at the nest and the baby sitting on the branch.

carolinabeachmom said...

Eyes on the B nest. She keeps looking down a lot. Maybe she knows something we don't.

carolinabeachmom said...

Kent eaglets look as if they are getting ansy. One is wing flapping now.

carolinabeachmom said...

Mrs. B is up and looking over her eggs again. Does anyone see a hole in the lower right egg or is that a piece of nest?

carolinabeachmom said...

Sorry, I guess it is a piece of the nest.

carolinabeachmom said...

Well, my eyes are getting buggy again from focusing on the eggs. Think I'll take a break for awhile. BB

movin said...

A VERY GOOD SATURDAY MORNING TO YOU ALL-----

I checked a couple of nests on the way to the blog...

At Norfolk, there are a couple of eaglets in the nest, feeding, now.

Not much at Black Water right now.

The Kent eaglets are standing upright and looking like adult eagles more each day.

Hope you're having a great, healthy weekend thus far.

Jim

movin said...

Have you been checking the Kestrel and chicks in NY??

They are very young and should be interesting to watch.

The Momma is in the box warming them after a meal.

Jim

movin said...

Enjoy the cams today..

I'll try to drop back in when you are here..

normabyrd said...

3 PA FALCONS---2 on ledge & 1 up by the FALCON BOX---I am glad they changed the cam to show the hatching box & extended perch!!!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD AFTERNOON NORMA--(and JIM)
Norma, I wish I could get some Snow Peas to you. I have so many I will have to freeze them. I have my Grandson this weekend and he doesn't like peas, but loves salad; so I chop up the peas and put them in his salad and he doesn't know the difference from the lettuce. Gotta get rid of them some way! I love being a Grandma.

normabyrd said...

BW NESTS MT---But LISA has a pic showing an EAGLE PARENT & EAGLET at the nest a day or so ago!!!--Great to see them---even if for a min.---

normabyrd said...

normabyrd said...

movin said...

Hi yourselves, Norma, Wanda...
I looked at the remainder of yesterday's blog and checked out Paula's Osprey banding videos. Great stuff, Paula.

Probably should concentrate on some maintenance around here.

Take care, friends.

Jim

movin said...

Couple of eaglets squabbling over food in the nest at Norfolk.

Jim

normabyrd said...

I have been watching IWS---#63 is rearranging the sticks & twigs in his nest!!!!----Must be planning to STAY--ho! or to coming back & staying with MOM & DAD!!!!----hard to be all alone----A FAVORITE!!!----"He certainly didn't go quietly into the bag"----But reading the comments of the men who climb up & bring them down----It isn't all fun!!---
Been reading comments, etc. IWS---Lots of info---& most interesting topics!!!!

Costume Lady said...

JIM--
I guess squabbling among wildlife is a part of learning survival. The one lone eagle, (I think it is Puget Sound) won't have the opportunity to learn that lesson. I wonder how much of a difference that will make.

NORMA--
That is a beautiful shot of Mrs. Fin. I posted a photo to the Monsters Album last week of the same shot, but with Mom, Dad & Chick. I love that photo.

normabyrd said...

I know I need a break---I have begun to repeat myself---ho!--Still need to find out how it is or who it is that decides the OWLS are ready to be on their own!!!!---LUNCH---LATER!!

Costume Lady said...

Oh, Yes, Norma--
SC Eaglet is an only child also. #63 will have to learn survival all by himself.

normabyrd said...

I certainly enjoyed your banding pics PAULA---I was wanting to see the pic of LISA---She is such a SHARP PERSON!!!---That's why I called you LISA in my comment yesterday!!!----THE BANDING MUST HAVE BEEN AWESOME!!----did you get to hold any of the EAGLETS??

NillaWafer said...

Hello to all, Beautiful day out here in Martinsburg, going to take Spike (grandbaby dog) down to the river for aswim, as i am watching him today ( he is over 80 lbs and will be draggin me to the river..lol) Well i got divorced 1 time on 08/08/88..lol Have awonderful day,Nilla

Costume Lady said...

I was watching #63 early this morning and he was doing the same thing; rearranging the nest. I guess he/she ? is practicing for when it starts it's own family.

Costume Lady said...

NILLA--
Your divorce date is TOO funny. Don't tell us you were married 8 years? HaHa.

paula eagleholic said...

Nope, Norma, got to hold an OSPREY!! LOL Get out of that thin air!

There is a picture of me holding the osprey on

Eagletmomsters.blogspot.com

NillaWafer said...

No actually it was 18 years..lol Now Norma thanks for remembering how upset i was when Tia slept on that edge and those night he would not come in.. my daughter bought me a video of him and it has the one night on it (funny to watch) I know Mits remembers the night he really would not come down it was 1AM or more and we stayed and watched n waited...and now he is all growed up. Or how when i met Mits at the zoo.. we was watching Tai in the tree and Dana was on my phone ya'll were watching the zoo site and we were moving around waving so you could see us...lol I watched that vid its still on Glo's site.. Good memories that make ya smile...Nilla

carolinabeachmom said...
