Good morning to you too Deb.
Moving soiled and wet nesting materials at Tesoro.
PAULA,ENJOY!
Belle is gone.
There is a note on the Moose cam from Pook that the moose are gone and she has turned off the cam. So sad that we can't enjoy the moose til next season.

Welcome, George. I am from South Dakota. Stop in often.
Wanda, isn't egg laying time usually in February?
All gone for now. We know they will be back....
NT Nest
Deb, This is my first year with the eagles, so I am a Novice. I am sooo excited to see all this unfold from the beginning!
WELCOME TO OUR BLOG GEORGE! We have a nice time on here and just love to get new people to come on. I live in NO. Carolina.
Good Morning Everyone
It is cold but it is going to get colder! What's with these beach bums in the dead of winter going to OC!
lol I love it off season without traffic!
Been a busy morning here - rabbit in the nest-sure looks like it.
CANDY, you are one of our experts. When did Belle lay her first egg last year?
Didn't they say that eggs were layed around Valenntines Day last year.
Lib is gone. I haven't been around for nest season yet, but seems I read that somewhere.
Looking over my records, Dana said our first egg was laid on Valentines Day.
HOW SWEET IS THAT?
GOOD MORNING JO It is about time you woke up from your panda napping. Didn't someone say that Bell layed her eggs around Feb. 14th last year.
Looks like Liberty is back.
Feb is our egg laying month..
On the Momster's site it give you a run down of the past years.
This hanky panky will go on and on and on and the eating in the nest will also continue very regularly.
I think that BlackWater's eggs were laid before ours. Lisa will be able to tell us about that.
Thanks, everyone, for the information.
OK MOMSTERS:
First Year 2004 - First Egg Feb 14 - 2 Eaglets successfully hatched and fledged.
Second Year 2005 - First Egg Feb 15 - 1 Eaglet successfully hatched and fledged.
Third Year 2006 - Eggs Laid Feb 9, 11 & 15 - 3 Eaglets successfully hatched and fledged. (First season for the cam).
Fourth Year -2007 2 eggs were in the nest by Feb 9th. She may have been sitting on an egg as early as Feb 6th. We aren't positive because the cam was down. Third egg laid Feb 12th. No hatching this season, probably due to the late inclement weather.
hello every one nice meeting you all
GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU JO..
I can hardly get away from this puter this morning. Every time I go to leave, Lib or Belle appears. I'm like a kid; afraid I will miss something. LOL
HOW IS YOUR EXECISES GOING. CAN YOU TELL IF THEY ARE DOING ANYTHING FOR YOU YET?
I finally got brave and checked the weather. At 9 am, it is 0 degrees, wind chill is -13.
Jim, Sioux City is -4, wind chill is -19.
It is great to have you join us, George.Our nest is getting very active now.. Do you also watch some of the FL cams that already have chicks?
Exercises are really helping to get the oxygen flowing through the muscles! I am ready to go! When is that lunch for the locals? Don't wait till the snow is tooooo deep or the temp is tooooooooo low!
DEB That is just a bone chilling temp. AND I think I am cold.
There's a Monitor (tail) or a large snake after the Weaver nests at Pete's Pond.
Jim
Can't seem to get together on a time. Everyone is so busy. We will work on it.
Glad your exercises are working for you. Keep it up, don't stop!
Jim Can you give us a tinyurl for it please I lost my bookmarked link Thanks.
George, we get a little crazy when Lib & Belle are in the nest, so just join in and get crazy with us!
Unfortunately, this is what January is like here. It is not unusual to have temps like this for a couple of weeks. You get used to it, but no one likes it. It could be worse. Fargo, ND is -22 below. I wonder what their wind chill is.
I think you might have meant a "clickable link" Mema Jo. Here's the tiny url, and I can make the other if you like.
http://tinyurl.com/m9auw
Jim
Yes, Jim
I would like it to be clickable!
Looks as though some new fluff needs to come into the nest - when weather permits. The nest was looking sooooo
good before the snow came. Some really large sticks need moving towards the edges. On My, an eagles' work is never done!
It was a Monitor. It was crawling across the top of a tree (bush?) which the Weavers are using, and he would "dive" into the foliage in hopes of getting to the eggs.
His head came back up, and he was just swallowing something with a lot of grass (maybe the nest).
The cam panned away now, don't know if it will return to the Monitor.
Jim
By the way, last night I saw a pair of those White Storks everyone likes to watch in Europe strolling on the banks of Pete's Pond last night.
Jim
Here's your link, Mema Jo.
Pete’s Pond
Jim
POOF
Eagle out of our nest
MT nest
Thanks Jim
With the MooseWatch cam gone I will have more time to watch Pete's! I always did enjoy the site.
Off to eat some Brunch since I am too late for breakfast! BBL
Back again.
He returns
Both!!
Looks like lunchtime to me. :)
A family that eats together, stays together. Boy are they ever spending a lot of time in the nest today.
can i get a link to petes pond please
George, go back to JIM's comment at l0:45 and click on PETE'S POND.
YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR A MOMENT OR TWO WHILE THEY SHOW A COMMERCIAL.
George Go up to Jim's 10:45 comment...... Click on the BLUE Pete's Pond. Will come up for you & you can bookmark it.
Holler if it doesn't work.......
Don't forget to BOOKMARK it.
Lib left again.
LOL Wanda! Ya beat me!
Our eagles will be at the nest on a very regular basis as it gets closer to egg laying time in Feb. Dana has 2 pages of pics from this morning's visits for your viewing on Momsters' albums.
Link to Photos
Eventually at the nest, pictures will be taken mainly when something unusual happens - like a hatching!!
Are those bobbing heads in CC1 the babies?
Alot of wing flapping going on too. They couldn't be that big yet. Maybe it is both adults
Both eagles in our nest !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, aren't they big already! We missed a lot while the cam was down.
Both in nest again
OMG we sure did DEB. It doesn't seem possible that they are that big already.
i just seen a nice pic of some of you lovely ladies togeather, nice group
Oh, so good to see them in the nest so much. I think that was a rabbit they brought into the nest yesterday.
SC/PH is empty as well as the hummer nest. BWE and BWO are also mt.
Morning, Megan.
HI THERE MEGAN! A good Saturday morning to you. It has been a busy day in our nest today.
Thank you for the compliment, George!
We try to get together as a group whenever there is a good excuse to do so. Quite a few locals BUT we have some of our gals come in from CA, IL, PA, MD, NC and all over WV. We really have bonded because of these eagles.
Open house in Oct was our big event!
Just let us know when you want to come through town this Spring!
The little bobber is visible at Tesoro right now.
Hi Megan! What's new with you?
Did you order your seeds yet for the greenhouse? Days are getting a little bit longer!
Shoot, I should have said that sooner, feeding now in the other part of the nest.
Feeding time at Tasoro. I finally got my first peek at a fuzzy head down at the bottom of the branch that is sticking up. Fuzzy, wuzzy.
I am very anxious for us to get some little "bobbers" in our nest.. After the snowy season leaves....
You can really see the top of the head now during the feeding.
It has been a great morning at the nest & I am thinking it will continue. I'll return early evening!
Keep talking so I know what I have missed.
BBL
Our nest is empty.
That didn't last long. It could be an all day visit at the nest!
Good Morning Megan...
I have been thinking of you. We have been inundated with seed and flower catalogs and I'm sure you have too. I have been planning my flower garden and Gene has been planning his veggie garden since the end of Dec. Can't wait!
Looks like it's time for Lib to bring Lunch. Does he usually bring the meals or does Belle help?
Well Hello DEb, Candy and Jo. Welcome, George. Days are getting longer, slowly but surely. Still working on those seed orders, Jo. And the funds to get them. Always dicey time of year and the hosing slump is making life difficult for those in the construction trade. Still waiting for the cable company to bless me with hteir presence so they can figure out how to get a cable line to my house. This dial up is very slow and getting worse, so if I disapear, that's why. It drives me nuts..
Right now, they both bring in food, Wanda.
It has been sprinkling here for about three hours this am. Any of you getting it yet up there? I think it said it was 45'.
Hi Wanda, yes, there is a very tall stack of seed catalogs on my table, still working on looking through them. Hoping for a good year with plenty of rain. I forgot, a couple of days ago, hubby spotted 2 birds sort of fighting up in the sky. We checked them out, thought they were hawks, but no they were eagles. Immature, cause they had starnge coloration, but one did have a lot of white on his head.
I hope you ladies schedule a time to get together again this year in late June or July. I didn't get a chance last year to go to the farmers marked on Sunday and take in the sights. Wanted to get some of Megan's flowers also. You are all so lucky to live soooo close.
Megan, instead of fighting, they had better get working on finding a mate and putting their nest together. Silly birds
Thaks Deb. I don't see food when it is brought in; only after it is there. I have NEVER seen them in the process of flying it in. I alway seem to catch the TAIL END (ha) of it.
I'd best get busy. BBL
Megan, you have a regular zoo at your house. I think you have seen everything there is to see there, except for a bear. Gene says he would like to see a bear in our woods...foolish man!
Good grief, pardon my typos. Wanda, I was going to invite the deer in to peruse the seed catalogs, so they could pick out what they would like to munch on this year.lol.. Supposed to snow later, slight chance, it's 38° right now, going to much be colder tomorrow.
Megan is not far from our nest. I suppose it could be relatives of Lib & Bells.
It's beginning to look as though Liberty-Belle are planning on occupying the nest all day today.
No complaints from us, Right?
Jim
Feeding again at Tesoro.
LOL, Megan. They would probably eat the catalogs too.
I always expect to see a bear when I walk outside late in the evening, sooner or later, they are around. We put out so much birdseed. There are also foxes and coyotes. Haven't seen a coyote, but sometimes think we hear one howling in the distance.
I have to get some work done.
BBL
MT Nest
Hi Jim. love your reports from the pete's Pond cam. I hope when I get a faster connection I can view it.
We did see coyotes a few times and we can hear them howling some nights in the distance.
Had a beautiful fox pass by one day last week. BEARS NOT WELCOME!
BBL
Lib back
I gotta go too, happy cam viewing. Probably won't be back later, thread will be too long for me to open. %#@*#@& dial up!
WONDERFUL!!---So many of you all on the blog!!-- JO--THANKS--for giving us all the nest dates!!--I was checking to find them--ended up trying to answer my emails!!---MEGAN---Are you still looking forward to getting your bb hooked up---
I still want to yell---EAGLE ALERT--ho!!----One or the other seems to be in the nest each time I log on!!---WOW!---That's a good thing!!
I get excited just thinking about "wee eagles" in our nest!!! ----Is it getting about time to see a turtle shell in the nest!!--ho!---JO collects them!!
ANYONE watching for the DIVERS!!--
GAO GAO--is on the SD site!!---Has any one seen PRECIOUS??---She wasn't on the cam much yesterday!!
Miss her!!
The HUMMING BIRD look so lovely sitting on her nest!!---The flowers & her coloring are a perfect match!---
Mrs. Hummer is due to hatch her eggs on Tuesday. Give or take a day one way or the other, if the eggs were laid when the owner of that cam said they were.
Norma, Divers!!
Ok the day's complete now. NORMA has seen her divers, or I hope she saw them!
Just did a little cleaning out of my bedroom drawers and now am getting ready to watch the Tarheels play.
We have an MT nest as of this moment. Both Blackwater MT. SC/PH nest is MT.Maine Nest is MT. I guess everyone is taking their Panda naps after having a good lunch.
On to basketball. BBL
If you hurry you might see ZZ climbing the heights.
Jim
Hi all,
Hope you are all as well as can be at the mo..
I had a wonderful birthday,, great dinner,,, and was told to dress posh ???
After dinner we got in the car and drove into Birmingham City,, still not knowing where we were going, parked in the carpark, and walked towards Birmingham's Hippodrome Theatre,,,,, I wasa being taken to see the Pantomime, Aladin, staring John Barrowman [have you heard of him] had fantastic seats right at the front, and Frank had booked Champers for the interval drinks.
It was a lovely night out and one to remember for a long time.
Must admit by the time we got home I was more than a little squiffy and fell into bed floating,,,, very surprised the nest morning though NO hangover !!! Perhaps I should make my usual tipple Champers from now on.
love and hugs
Chrissy
XXXXXXXXX
Chrissy, so glad to hear that you had a wonderful birthday! You really had a night on the town. Frank gave you a very special night out . Even tho you were floating and a little squiffy, the night was yours. Like you said, "A night to remember!" Way to celebrate your birthday. You go girl. :)
EAGLE ALERT BACK IN OUR NEST. It looks like Lib.
Half time at the Carolina/Maryland basketball game and we are BEHIMD! :( This might be the one we lose.
Lib is gone already.
Back to cheer on my Tar Heels. Go Heeeeeellllllsssss, as NORMA would say. ;)
EAGLES!!
Both eagles still in the nest.
Belle is gone.
Belle is back.
Both up by Lib's perch enjoying the view.
Both gone. Nice visit. It didn't seem like they did much, a lot of watching and a little fluffing.
Norfolk's website says the cam is still being worked on, but you can watch it on their media player site. I had it up for a while this afternoon until it got so dark you could barely see a white head. Will they have any night viewing once eggs are here?
PH is down. Nothing happening at Kent. Moose are gone, :( Can't find any bobbing heads at CC2. Parent at Tesoro is eating and feeding. That's about it for action. Hope everyone is having a great afternoon.
Am I right in reading that an eaglet is there at the Florida eagle cam?
Has anyone posted a photo?
Yes, Lisa, there are at least 2 eaglets. I don't think there are any photos yet. If there are, would someone correct me?
Okay, thanks. Do we know who reported two eaglets? Their website is short on current info. :-)
Lisa, if you go to yesterday's blog at 3:53 Paula put up a link to take you to a picture. As far as I know there has only been one eaglet captured on film, unless someone got one today. It appears the eagles are feeding 2, but that nest is so deep it is hard to tell.
WE LOST:( Oh well on to the next game. Our nest appears to be MT, so guess I'll call it a night, get my shower and get warm under my comforter watching tv. Still getting rain here and in the low 40's. At this rate, we won't have any flakes even of snow. :(:( I just wanted to be able to see a little.
Oh well, all have a peaceful and restful night. Tomorrow brings a new day with new happenings. GOOD NIGHT TO ALL!
HELLO EVERYONE, COMPUTER IS SLOWER THAN MOLASSES HERE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE COMCAST HIGH SPEED INTERNET!! Computer is almost 6 yrs old, and don't think it has enough memory space or whatever.....saw some hawks on the way done and alot of geese as we got to Cambridge, but didn't go over to BW...it is almost 30 mins away from RT 50, and we just wanted to get to the condo. We have had snow showers here for the last couple of hours, went to church and our favorite pizza place. So I will say GOODNIGHT FOR NOW, and hopefully talk to you all tomorrow.
Tesoro chick
Are you as excited as I am?? I figured it out, a clickable link above will take you to a page that has a picture of the Tesoro chick. There are lots of pictures on the page, the one with the chick is in the middle.
Glad you made it ok, Mits. After all that had work figuring out links, I am turning off the computer for the night. Have a good night everyone.
Good Night Helen.
I just saw the photo of the Tesoro chick. Is that cute, or what?
Can't wait for our very own little bobble heads. I'm sure they will be cuter than any of the others!
Good Night Deb. Thanks for the LINK.
Good night Mits - Stay warm - sounds like the snow is headed to the east of us and that should be OC area. Enjoy your free time and relax!
Thanks, Deb for putting up the link from FTLOE forum. "Birder" captured the awesome pic of the little bobble head and posted it for all.
Went to Mass this evening - not so cold out there tonight!
Just saw the link - thanks so much! Great photo. So cute.
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE. I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD SATURDAY, I DID. [:~)
Look forward to a great Sunday.
Jim
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE
Don't worry - I am going to return to my bed in a few minutes! You all very well know I do NOT belong to the Early Bird. PJ Club is as far as I go Nest is MT but Tai is up and chomping down on his bamboo breakfast.
I'll see you all around 10ish.
Remember to light a candle
Light a candle for Sandra
Thank you! Power Prayer is still being said.
Morning Jo and night again Jo ( :
I went in and checked my candle is still lit. I'm surprise at how the number has reduced. There was 2 pages of candles lite for Sandra.
GOOD MORNING DANA...
Hope Jo was able to go back to sleep.
I thought there were fewer candles too. Maybe they burned out.
It is so cold in our house, I must turn the heat up and the coffee pot on. (We dial our thermostat down to 58° at night)
Good Morning Wanda
yes when you light a candle it last for 48 hours then you have to go back into Sandra's candles link and light another one
Looks like it is snowing at BWE and BWO...Mits and Paula are probably having some snow at the ocean.
The deer with the swollen right front leg is on the deer cam. It has some places on its left side in the fur that looks like old injuries too.
Good Morning, Dana and Wanda. Check out the snow at Peggy's Cove. It is really coming down.
My computer is acting up. Couldn't get back in here or the cam. Re-booted and typed a long comment and the @#$%&# blogger cop got me!
I need Helen to cuss for me.
DebWhat is the url you are using to get Norfolk up?
GOOD MORNING DEB...
I'll bet you have some cold temps there this morning.
It is 16° here and only going up to 22°. Going down to 5° tonight.
Norfolk
I checked this morning and it isn't up yet.
It isn't bad here this morning at 5. There isn't any wind, so no wind chill. It is supposed to start snowing later today and continue into tomorrow. 10 for today, 2 for tonight.
Oh ok Deb same url as I have. I thought from reading yesterdays comments you had a different url. Ok lady ty.
It is only 15 here right now...burrr
Let's hop into the Eagle Express and head for Florida!
Weren't those pictures just awesome on the blue link yesterday of FTLOE. Oh my pics showed and video parent brining in that fish. Actually seeing the fish in the talcons. Boy I had been watching Tesoro alot and didn't see fish in talcons. Did know though parent had brought in food.
Hee Hee lmbo I thought we had a 2nd chick in that nest. Oh boy! Oh boy! Now for our nest to have luck this year too.
Dana, how is your G.Grandson and what is his name?
Has anybody been able to get the osprey Cape Coral cam to work. I tried but it won't let me in with the password.
I saw some photos of that cam on a forum, so I gather someone is getting in.
Florida sounds good. Sun, sand and water! Eagles at BWE.
Lisa I had it open the other day. It does show 2 osprey near water. Almost looks like need a park with a fountain.
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!!---HELLO JO!!!---1st to sign in this a.m.----HELLO!--JO--DANA---WANDA & DEB!!!----It is a COLD SUNNY--WINTER a.m. here in WV---temp. 12°---Wonder where the ROYAL COUPLE are keeping warm this a.m.!!----Sorry CANDY--but you all have won all the others!!------TAR HEELS are still the BEST!-----LET'S ALL ENJOY THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND!!!!-----LIFE IS GOOD!! (p.s. i think jo went back to bed!)---So let's use our quiet voice!!--ho!
The cam had gone down there for a while then it came back up. Maybe it is down again. Lisa I would just off and on check in on it.
(whispering....Good Morning Norma...yes Jo went back to bed. Will see us around 9ish. Good to see you on here with us this morning.
Thanks, guys. Have a nice weekend.
You have a nice weekend also Lisa...come back again.
GOOD MORNING NORMA AND LISA...

(((((HUGS TO YOU ALL!))))))))
Yes, I was very excited to see our female sitting down just now.
I'll be very happy when we get that first egg. We're a bit edgy here since we were chickless this summer with the ospreys. We really need an egg. :-)
The new job is very good. Nice people, a nice office, and interesting work. I was lucky to find it.
WOW!! DEB 5° IS COLD!!---So far we haven't had any wind---That's a good thing!------STAY WARM!!
GOOD MORNING CANDY...
Have a good day. I will be gone when you get back. TTYT
LISA...do the Osprey redo their nest or does someone from the facility put materials in there? When do they lay their eggs?
