Mema Jo said...

Good Sunny Sunday Morning - That wind is something else. Just signing on & see our Incubating Eagle but must read on previous thread to see if that 3rd egg has been spotted!!

Hello Steve - I'll go over just in case I would be lucky enough to be a #1 and let everyone know new thread is here! Make it a good day

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, I am heading to the hospital now. Just spoke with our Mits. She is home and recovering. She said to tell everybody hello.

Mema Jo said...

Take care Eagle Buddy Sharon. So glad you were able to speak with Mits! I hope Nilla follows you & heads over to ER!

AJ I am trying to catch a picture as to what is underneath our
beautiful eagle - We were looking for a third - but would settle for 2.
Hopefully around 10:00 food would be brought in and off the nest for us to capture a picture down in the egg cup

Mema Jo said...

What is disturbing our eagle?

paula eagleholic said...

I wish our eagle would step aside for just one click for a photo.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle is on the eggs, but looking around..really has the fluff pulled up

Mema Jo said...

Mema Jo said...

Did not give any conclusive evidence!
Still not certain if there are 3

Mema Jo said...

EGG ROLL AGAIN

Eagle is teasing us by looking back over shoulder and saying
"You want to see?"

paula eagleholic said...

Eagles at CO

Mema Jo said...

Checking out the eggs again.

Mema Jo said...

Hello AJ - I wish I could see what you saw! You were an Early Bird this morning. Still watching our nest for a switch or for brunch to get them off the egg cup for a good look!

paula eagleholic said...

Were you able to take any pictures, AJ?

paula eagleholic said...

Cam being a little sticky at the moment

paula eagleholic said...

Unstuck - preening

Mema Jo said...

I thought it was preening also but I think it turned out to be a very short nap with head tucked..Unless the cam was frozen...... lol

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm..could have been either I guess!

Mema Jo said...

EGG ROLL

Mema Jo said...

Costume Lady said...

Playing hookey from church this morning. Don't want my Mom exposed to those who might have Virus Bugs. We do a lot of hand shaking and hugging and I really wish our Pastor would warn against that at this time of year.

paula eagleholic said...

PH/SC nest is back on....pretty birds singing there....wonder what we will hear on our cam????

deb said...

See, I missed another egg-turning! Just read Paula's comment.

normabyrd said...

WIND is fierce here now!!---Blowing every thing around!!---but SUN is still shining!!---temp. 37°!!!----

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Jo for checking on Norma.

Good Day Norma lady

Hi Deb

deb said...

Hi, Dana.

wvgal_dana said...

Pulling more fluff towards body in our nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Morning Norma! Or should I say, Afternoon!

Our eagle is gonna get lost in the fluff. Guess you can't have too much!

normabyrd said...

wvgal_dana said...

Deb was it you that was having trouble getting PH/SC up when others had it up the other day???

normabyrd said...

GOOD AFTERNOON HELEN!!----The 'LITTLE PRINCE' is leaned against a tree---eating a huge pile of BAMBOO!!---He always reaches for the longest piece!!-------------He has been sending you HUGS & KISSES all week!!

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO----(get well soon Mits)----p.s. he doesn't call you helen!

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle really hunkered down in our nest....

NillaWafer said...

Ok Jo we rode out to ER and its standing room only.. So i decided rather than wait and catch more bugs i dont have .. I will call doc in the morning... Atleast i have been able to keep fluids down right now but still Queeeezzzzy.. Back to laying down..

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like a wind gust blew that big stick further into the nest...it was further to the right.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle eating at BWO

deb said...

Yes, Paula, I still have Norfolk up, it is rocking and rolling in the wind.

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY...

3 eggs this year!!

Funny thing, I opened BW first and read about it in Lisa's note.

Looks like ZZ is getting a bath. She was climbing around in her tree a few minutes ago.

Has anyone heard about activity at Kent? The cam #2 view is terrible, but it almost looks like some fresh dried grass in the nest.

Have a great Sunday.

[:~)]

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Ok, have to go get some stuff done...still have cams up, but will BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Uh Oh, BW cams might be stuck...

deb said...

No, Dana, it is colorado I can't get open. My cousin in CO with a Mac can't open it yet either. I am waiting for contact to let me know why we can't get in.

paula eagleholic said...

BW is working again...

Costume Lady said...

NILLA, when my Mom can't seem to hold anything down on her tummy, I give her Baby Food. She can hold down a small amount of meat and fruit. Also, chicken broth; no noodles. Just a thought. Just rest and keep covered up. No Jazzy. (aaaawwwwwww).

movin said...

All I'm getting at Norfolk is a black screen. Too busy, or too windy??

[:~)]

Jim

Costume Lady said...

Wind is soooo strong, don't know if to go into town or not. Lib and Belle seem to be tolerating it well. It is a sturdy tree an nest.

movin said...

Wow!! Whichever eagle that is at BWO, it really has a healthy portion of lunch there, doesn't it?

[:~)]

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at BWO appears to have a bird?

deb said...

I won't fiddle with Norfolk, so I don't lose it. Nest is empty and it is very windy. Oops not empty anymore.

paula eagleholic said...

Jim - could be either at Norfolk...probably scattered power outages....

paula eagleholic said...

Ok, maybe limited feed getting out....or extremely busy!!

deb said...

I have been watching the clock at Norfolk and I think I am on a five minute loop!! Yep, here comes the eagle again.

deb said...

Too funny, I'm not watching closely enough to notice that was looping.

movin said...

ZZ is playing with the foliage at ground level right now...

[:~)]

Jim

movin said...

Eeuuwwie was landing at BWO with the eagle there eating, but by the next refresh, it was gone!

[:~)]

Jim

deb said...

Two eagles at BWO.

movin said...

There's a second eagle at BWO! I thought it was mama wanting a share, but she's still on the eggs...

[:~)]

Jim

deb said...

Now one. where did dinner go?

paula eagleholic said...

Switch our nest

movin said...

One of the eagles took off from BWO with the remainder of the meal....

More to follow...

[:~)]

Jim

deb said...

Yeah, I can see the eggs for myself in real time.

paula eagleholic said...

Belle on the eggs now...

And in case you haven't noticed, Belle has the white patch of feathers on her wing elbow...you can see it best when she is getting down on the eggs...

paula eagleholic said...

That is the right wing...will post the picture in momsters

Jill said...

It is extremely windy here. Boys just called for a ride, too windy to skateboard. Now that is some severe wind to bring that bunch in. LOL.

Haven't seen the 3rd egg yet but glad it is here. Babies will be here mid March? Little later? Head hurts so bad I can't do the math.

movin said...

By the way, I see they have the cam back up at PH (Santa Cruz)...no birds though, a few minutes ago.

[:~)]

Jim

normabyrd said...

HELLO JIM!!---You weren't on when I checked in a while back!!---What's happening in CA!!---Did you remember to vote!!---We don't have our primary until May!!!

normabyrd said...

HI JUSTIN & MAGGIE-----Tell AUNT SHARON---I have her in my prayers & hope she will feel better SOON!!
OK???

normabyrd said...

DEB!!---Is that your State Flag?---BEAUTIFUL----Is that the state seal on it!!!----Do you know what year SD became a state!!---Our state was formed in 1863---LINCOLN was pres.,---Civil War time---We were a part of VA!----bet you learned more than you wanted too! ho!

normabyrd said...

DIVERS!

deb said...

Yes, Norma, it is the flag and the state seal on the flag. We became a state in 1889.

Divers were just there!

deb said...

Now I have a face in front of the camera!

normabyrd said...

DEB--I was cleaning Sat. & had the DIVER site on!!----One time I bet there were 7 or so DIVERS-----ONE OF THE WORKERS WAS VERY CLOSE TO WINDOW---Turned his camera over to the window---his NAME "BILL STEIN"----They were working for a long time!!----Noticed one didn't have flippers on!!---COOL to watch them---isn't it????

deb said...

It sounds like a dog barking on the Maine cam, not sure what that is?? My dog joined in, also.

deb said...

Yes, it is fun to watch. This last one reached out and touched the camera, I thought he was going to move it, but he didn't.

normabyrd said...

Checked SD---Wanting to see PRECIOUS!!----But SU LIN is on display now!!!

normabyrd said...

MT NEST----ME & CO---(OWL AT CO)

normabyrd said...

OREGON --SNOW HIGH ON NEST---but the surrounding trees are bare!!!

normabyrd said...

Forgot to ask DEB----How do you like your new computer???----Maybe that's what I need!!!---ho!

deb said...

I like it, it is just taking some getting used to. It is way faster than what I had before and has lots of memory. I need memory for my pictures.

Jill said...

Norma, it's a sinus headache. Now I am starting to get a sore throat. Figures, I get time off and get sick.

normabyrd said...

At TESORO nest---I love to see the little heads pop up!!----When our eggs hatch---(can't wait)---We will be seeing little heads up & down----They are so DEAR to watch!!---The one thing that amazes me the most---their "poop" shoots"!!---Those little ones put their behind up to the rim of the nest &--poop goes up & out of nest!!!----

normabyrd said...

DARN it JILL!!---That would be a real BUMMER!!!---Think positive!!! JILL------"YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET SICK"!!---This kind of weather---it makes us all feel lousy!!!---Do you have any med. for sinus?

paula eagleholic said...

Oooops, BW cams stuck again...darn wind!

And that darn wind blew my grill over!! I'll have to wait for a better day to check out the damage...briquettes everywhere!

normabyrd said...

DEB---Wonderful!!---I can remember those days---my computer was so fast!!----But maybe it's ME---I'm a movin' SLOWER---the computer is still fast!!! ho!

normabyrd said...

PAULA---My heavy trash can went flying off & my grill went side ways!!----I feel your pain!!----I live upon a hill & the WIND just BLOWS everything around!!!!

normabyrd said...

The wind doesn't seem to be bothering the nest!!----I think this nest is better-built than the one last year!!---anyone else think that?

wvgal_dana said...

Well Norma and Paula get this one. Figure this out. My 2 birdhouse have ended up down at the next mobile home. Ok that is bad enough we have a fence yard lol....the part that is amazing is...they both have ended up on 6 foot high stumps of 2 trees cut off. lol Figure that one?????????????

normabyrd said...

The "young" humming birds are waiting to be feed!!! ho!!---Might be a little snug in nest!!!

Mema Jo said...

I have been gone for a few -- and man I just blew back in here! I looked out on the deck & the riding toys are having a blast racing across it!!!

normabyrd said...

SANDY---I have had you in my thoughts today too!!!----Just waiting for the day you will be 'all well'!!!----I'm sure you are too!!----Give your MOTHER my best!!
