Good morning everyone. Both parents in NBG nest. Chick poked its head up. So cute. Wow Suzanne you are first this morning. Thanks for new thread Steve.
Oh, got the live feed from PA back! Breakfast is over, nap time now. They were using the egg as a pillow earlier this morning, but it's now been pushed to the end of the chicks.
I wondered where you were, Dana! Morning, Ceil. That almost doesn't happen! By the time I read there's a new thread, there are a dozen or more posts alreay!
GOOD MORNING DANA & CEIL... I was watching Wonder Woman (Isla) in Scotland and Angus brought in a fish, she grabbed it and took off without so much as a Thank You!
Yes there is lots of activity at BWO. They switched and then the one flew off that had been on eggs. Then came almost right back. I thought it was the intruder in the nest scare me. whew
Good morning Wanda. Blogger ate my last comment. Pa chicks still alone. Sorry you had a bad night Dana. Hope you get a nice panda nap in. Suz did you read about Mei acting strange. Keep finger crossed hope for a new panda cub. Going back to read other blog and get a cup of tea. BBL
Yes I did, Ceil! I'm hoping. I read what Helen posted yesterday, did not go to the site. I'll take her word for it. Wouldn't that be cool to have a new panda cub? I never could watch Tai, and now I haven't seen ZZ in don't know how long! Always showing Gao Gao or Su Lin! Beautiful pandas too, but I want to see the baby!
Suzanne did you get the email I sent about ZZ and snow? Jim was talking yesterday on blog about it. So I hadn't seen it when I did I thought OMGoodness everyone has got to see her.
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES----Thanks for the beautiful pic of the "AWESOME 3"----CONGRATS! SUZANNE---You are our #1 EAGLE MOM today & every day!!---Raining across most of the state--but the SUN is out here in this EASTERN section of WV!!!---'HOME OF BELLE & LIBERTY---PLUS 3'----temp. 69°---A GLORIOUS DAY----ENJOY FOLKS!! -- HELLO--SUZANNE--DANA--CEL & WANDA!!------LIFE IS GOOD!!
BWE parent is actually on the 3rd visit this morning. And this time there is food, and she's actually feeddiing the chicks! Haven't seen that for a while. I'm sure they are getting some food, they're still growing, so they're eating something! Just wish it was more!
Yes, Dana. As usual, can't view the video. I made a comment on here when they were going to give the pandas snow, but nobody was gonna watch it. It was later in our afternoon, I think.
Parent just flew into our nest. Can't till if brought food. Eaglets are not attempting to go after her/his talcons. So I don't think food was brought in.
WHOA!! BLUEFIELD SHARON---Just heard on NPR---PRES. CLINTON will visit your town today!!!!---HILLARY was in SHEPHERDSTOWN yesterday!!!--Maybe she saw one of ours fly over!!! ho!
Norma I feel terrible....but I'm trying to improvise with pills and cams. It will get better though. At least I have that to look forward too. Glad to be up early although it is because I've had a terrible night. Oh well I love being on here early with you all again.
ENJOYED reading LISA'S update every a.m.---Love the EAGLETS' names!!----My grandson would have suggested those names---SO COOL!!-- GRANNY needs to get with the program!! ho!
THANKS DANA!!---I saw them earlier when they brought in the snow!!----Wasn't surprised!---They had it printed in their paper---& HELEN mentioned seeing it!---Does shock you doesn't it!!----How do you think the PANDAS FELT???? ho!
Well from that video of ZZ playing in that snow (and thank you Jim). She had a ball...slidding and then tumbling. I love it ( : Looked like ZZ loved it too.
Tose little squirmers in PA just cannot get settled. They get comfy for a second, then one wants to move again, so they all have to move. No wonder mom's standing elsewhere, she's probably trying to get some sleep.
Just watched the latest feeding. We have one little one who is definitely a food thief. I saw him grab food from another eaglet TWICE and run with it. And he kept it too.
Good morning Norma. Love Tai. Hoping to get over to the zoo soon. Thanks Steve for the update. Got a busy day will talk later. Have a good day everyone.
WANDA---SORRY you don't have live feed!!---Hopefully --- you will soon!!----They are just sitting in the nest looking out!!----I can hear the wind there---We are having that here too!!
Yes Norma the video did remind you of him. I loved her flip lol
Tai has been a character this morning. Which I think he is every morning. Although I get involved in raptor cams and forget his alot. Glad I remember to watch him this morning sure put a smile on my face ( : ( :
WHOA!!!-----I see a 'black & white face' in the tree top!!---Wonder what the 'LITTLE PRINCE' is trying to see!!---Bet he wants to BE SEEN!----'LITTLE IMP'!!!!
I can't help it I am cracking up at Tai. He has that net with I guess bright colored balls in it. Swinging it all over now he is dragging it into the water with him.
My mother is 82 years old today. She was taken out to eat yesterday. She had a good time. I couldn't go. So she was brought my here (my home) so I got to see her. Hopefully I'll be well enough to take her out on Mothers Day.
DANA---That's WONDERFUL!!---Hope SUNDAY will be a SUNNY DAY!!---Did you read my message yesterday??--in re: MOTHER'S DAY was founded by ANNA JARVIS of Grafton, WV--- CELEBRATING the 100th ANNIVERSARY!!
Thank you Norma for you comment in reference to the eagle chick at Bartons Cove. It does look healthy like you said. I'm worrying because I have seen no parent all morning. No Norma I hadn't seen you comment about Mothers Day. Interesting !Good old West Virginia comes in again !! lol
MORNIN' LOLLY!!---We haven't received the BIG STORM yet!!---Maybe it will pass us by!!----Just think how GREAT your patio will look---all the time you are scrubbing----TIME WILL FLY!!!
PA SITE----Bushy Tailed Squirrel!!!----Can see some corn scattered around!!----HEY LYNNE---Hope you are still in contact---haven't heard from you lately!!!
Dana, do hope you get to feeling better. Happy Birthday to your mom yesterday! :)
We celebrated my mother's 90th birthday April two years ago. She left us 4 months later. Lived alone in retirement home up to the end. So, hug your mom for me on Mother's Day!
MORNIN' DEB!!---I notice your election is the same day as ours!!----Guess you will have visits from the candidates too!!!----Do you pay much attention to politics?---I am working the polls-----5:30 a.m.---7:30 p.m.!!---
Suz, I have been watching Finny's nest since I have had puter up....both were there about 30 mins ago and looking at eggs, with all the stuff around it is was hard to see how many are there
Lolly Mothers birthday is today May 8th...although she was taken out yesterday. Sibling going away so did Mothers Birthday yesterday but it is May 8th. I will give her a hug from me and you Lolly on Mother's Day ( :
MORNIN' HELEN!!!----Well you are 'HOTTER' than I am today too!!!----How were the little "darlings"?--HAPPY TO SEE YOU--I bet!---I wasn't on much yesterday!!! Bet they are growing everyday---Just like the EAGLETS!!---but not as vocal!---
Norma, Clinton will be here today, haven't heard anything from Obama except for commercials. Our primary is usually not important tot the final outcome, too late and too few people. This year we are at least on the radar screen.
The BW Osprey has been on those eggs for a long time this morning. That is good ( :
Keep a watch for the baby at NBG. It has been showing well this morning not right at the moment though. Watch by time this post chick will be in great view now is
Thanks for the info, Helen. I'm so glad you can get there to watch the nest, now! Both are in the 2nd Finland nest, and have been for a while. I see our PA egg has finally be pushed out of the circle of fluffy chicks. Guess mom will remove it soon, poor thing. Those chicks cannot get settled for more than 2 seconds, they're a hoot to watch.
Thank GOODNESS!----The 'AWESOME 3' are huddled together---WOW!---You can certainly hear that wind!!---Bless their little feathers!!!---No time #1 to show off that wing span!!!!----State huddled!!!!!
Norma, we haven't heard from Sharon for a good while now, or have I missed her somewhere along the way? I know she has been having health problems; hope she gets well and back on here with us.
Wanda so HAPPY ( : Paula got to you and you have the live feed now. Don't worry those eaglets will be flapping and yelling. Well there went one for you walking across the nest lol
Kids got settled for 3 whole seconds, and here comes mom with food. They'll wake up soon. Well, they did, and they're eating! One chick has food hanging out of his mouth, but still has his mouth open, that's too cute! Oh, not for the squeemish!
I've never watched the feeding from start to finish, and mom feeds all babies equally. When they get full it's like a switch, off, and they all 4 go down at one time. Mom just pulled a bite, and all 4 heads went down at the same time. she held the bite and looked from one to the other, then she ate it. But then all 4 heads came right back up, and she's feeding them again.
What a hoot, all kids are full again, so mom finished eating. Then she went and got the piece that was hanging out of the one chick's mouth. Adorable. She's still cleaning leftovers off them that spilled in the feeding frenzy.
Hello everybody. I am here. Been a busy week with end of semester Andrew's performances and trying to work and fighting computer problems. Health is getting better and I promise not to disappear again without letting you know where I am! :)
Thanks, Helen. And a feeding at BWE too, what's the deal? Parent has been in the nest many times today, adn feeding the kids. They must be getting ready to start branching!
I have been watching the nest whenever I can get a cam up though.
And Normabyrd, Bill Clinton is going to be at Concord University tonight at 8. Probably will not go though I do like him. I have been to Concord 3 days already this week and I don't really have what it takes to go back.
7 May 2008 The ospreys haven’t had much drama or activity to deal with apart from the odd intruder on the 2 May and routine incubation.
It’s May now and it’s almost as if someone’s flipped a switch for the weather! After a cold, wet April we are now enjoying fantastic warm sunshine: perfect fishing weather! The male seems to be bringing in more fish which is a good sign. He’ll have to bring in more food soon enough for when the chicks hatch! Of course the calmer surface of the loch makes it much easier to see his prey so fishing will be easier at mornings and evenings!
With all this great weather we have noticed our poor male panting while sitting on the eggs, just a little bit too warm; does he maybe think he’s back in Africa? It is probably a bit of a shock to the system after the cold April.
We are now over halfway through the incubation and the centre is beginning to buzz with the possibility of the first chick hatching within the next couple of weeks. Of course… in this weather, it could be earlier!
Just back from having breakfast on the patio! Now I am going back to start the BIG job of cleaning the patio. Great day for it, temperature is right and the humidity is down.
So, off to work. Keep a good eye on the nests! BBL

Tomorrow at Shippensburg University our granddaughter, Heather, will receive her Master's! So proud of her! She is at Temple University today for interview - she wants counseling position for college age students. I pray everything falls into place for her as she is a very giving person!
Oh, my sister told me the post office is raising first class stamp rates again, on Monday, 12 May. Going up to 42 cents. Gonna see how many "forever" stamps I can get tonight at the post office. Think that rate is still 41 cents. A penny, but over time and many raises will save money. So get your forever stamps by Monday.
Contragulations to Heather hope she gets that job ( :
Glad to hear Deb that your father is doing better.
Suzanne in case you leave before I get back here to computer. Have a nice evening and hope your drive home is a good one ( : Maybe I'll be up early tomorrow again so I can see you.
Wow, look at the time. Time for me to hit the road. Oh joy, get to drive home in the rain. That's always fun. Later. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
I'll let you know what job she lands after getting all this education!
Deb - Glad your dad is stronger! Dana - You best be on here tomorrow! Sharon - Thanks for coming on & updating us - we worry when we don't hear from you! Doesn't seem like a year since Andrew graduated.. Time goes TOO FAST!!!
Headed out for haircut - Mema's must try to be beautiful for special occasions!
Good afternoon dear ones. Mema Jo, guess what? My baby, Travis, got his Masters degree Saturday. Speaking of babies, aren't our little feather babies growing? BBL donna
Feeding time at our nest. Don't know where everyone is. Boy it is loud during feeding time. All of a sudden they stopped making noise and look out of nest towards the 9 o'clock position. Don't know what the 3 eaglets and parent seen or heard. It was something that distracted them. Now back to eating.
Has not yet started to rain - may not until after 11 or so. But tomorrow will be wet.
Not only got my hair cut - bought a pair of new shoes! How about them there apples?!!!
Heather emailed that her interview at temple went VERY WELL. She will hear something by the end of the month! WHooHOo! I just love braggin' on the kids!
Well they were almost 20.00 lol Just black strap sandals!
I'll check out those falcons Have you seen the Heronettes recently? All the Great Horned Owls have fledged and to date have not returned to their ledge/nest box.
Is there any Home Page for SanJose? They really have a nice large nest box with high walls all around. I wonder how they get up on the wall in order to fledge
New! We just added a 3rd remote camera and a new wide angle high-res video camera with two extra IR illuminators on the base camera. Now there is much more action to view!
Spidey is starting or else there is a smudge on the lens.. I just cannot tell these eaglets apart anymore. I used to look at their feathers but now they sorta all look the same!! They are not going to be with us much longer..

Food our nest
Tose little squirmers in PA just cannot get settled. They get comfy for a second, then one wants to move again, so they all have to move. No wonder mom's standing elsewhere, she's probably trying to get some sleep.
Oops, meant to type THOSE little squirmers... Didn't hit the h. Must be more tired than I thought.
GOING to go watch JIM'S VIDEO!!!
Hi folks, the live feed issues are related to our Comcast cable modem. John has been struggling with them to get this resolved.
Just watched the latest feeding. We have one little one who is definitely a food thief. I saw him grab food from another eaglet TWICE and run with it. And he kept it too.
Thanks Steve, we will try to be patient.
Good morning Norma. Love Tai. Hoping to get over to the zoo soon. Thanks Steve for the update. Got a busy day will talk later. Have a good day everyone.

Live Feed up and running now and babies are asleep and not going to entertain me.
Norma, we haven't heard from Sharon for a good while now, or have I missed her somewhere along the way? I know she has been having health problems; hope she gets well and back on here with us.
Going into my Mom's. BBL
Wanda so HAPPY ( : Paula got to you and you have the live feed now. Don't worry those eaglets will be flapping and yelling. Well there went one for you walking across the nest lol
Kids got settled for 3 whole seconds, and here comes mom with food. They'll wake up soon. Well, they did, and they're eating! One chick has food hanging out of his mouth, but still has his mouth open, that's too cute! Oh, not for the squeemish!
I've never watched the feeding from start to finish, and mom feeds all babies equally. When they get full it's like a switch, off, and they all 4 go down at one time.

What a hoot, all kids are full again, so mom finished eating. Then she went and got the piece that was hanging out of the one chick's mouth. Adorable. She's still cleaning leftovers off them that spilled in the feeding frenzy.
Hello everybody. I am here. Been a busy week with end of semester Andrew's performances and trying to work and fighting computer problems. Health is getting better and I promise not to disappear again without letting you know where I am! :)
Thanks, Helen. And a feeding at BWE too, what's the deal? Parent has been in the nest many times today, adn feeding the kids. They must be getting ready to start branching!
I have been watching the nest whenever I can get a cam up though.
And Normabyrd, Bill Clinton is going to be at Concord University tonight at 8. Probably will not go though I do like him. I have been to Concord 3 days already this week and I don't really have what it takes to go back.
UPDATE FROM SCOTLAND
OSPREY DIARY: read the latest news from the nest!
7 May 2008
The ospreys haven’t had much drama or activity to deal with apart from the odd intruder on the 2 May and routine incubation.
It’s May now and it’s almost as if someone’s flipped a switch for the weather! After a cold, wet April we are now enjoying fantastic warm sunshine: perfect fishing weather! The male seems to be bringing in more fish which is a good sign. He’ll have to bring in more food soon enough for when the chicks hatch! Of course the calmer surface of the loch makes it much easier to see his prey so fishing will be easier at mornings and evenings!
With all this great weather we have noticed our poor male panting while sitting on the eggs, just a little bit too warm; does he maybe think he’s back in Africa? It is probably a bit of a shock to the system after the cold April.
We are now over halfway through the incubation and the centre is beginning to buzz with the possibility of the first chick hatching within the next couple of weeks. Of course… in this weather, it could be earlier!
Just back from having breakfast on the patio! Now I am going back to start the BIG job of cleaning the patio. Great day for it, temperature is right and the humidity is down.
So, off to work. Keep a good eye on the nests! BBL
Mits, thanks for the update on Scotland!

Wow, JO! Congrats to Heather! My nephew got his masters at Ship too!

Congrats to Heather. Just talked to my dad, he is sounding much stronger today.
Oh, my sister told me the post office is raising first class stamp rates again, on Monday, 12 May. Going up to 42 cents. Gonna see how many "forever" stamps I can get tonight at the post office. Think that rate is still 41 cents. A penny, but over time and many raises will save money. So get your forever stamps by Monday.
Contragulations to Heather hope she gets that job ( :
Glad to hear Deb that your father is doing better.
Suzanne in case you leave before I get back here to computer. Have a nice evening and hope your drive home is a good one ( : Maybe I'll be up early tomorrow again so I can see you.
Glad to hear that Deb....yep knew about the rate increase, Suz, evidently, I read this will probably be an annual event

Speaking of NBG, both parents are in the nest, and I believe they will be feeding the chick in a moment.

Jim
Hi Jim you still around here?
Feeding time at our nest. Don't know where everyone is. Boy it is loud during feeding time. All of a sudden they stopped making noise and look out of nest towards the 9 o'clock position. Don't know what the 3 eaglets and parent seen or heard. It was something that distracted them. Now back to eating.

The edges of our nest - well, there just aren't any!

Prayers for your mom, Wanda! And for you. Will be thinking of her tomorrow.
The water in Finland looks like glass. Wonder how cold it is there.
Can see part of an eaglet at LW. Dern tree is in the way!!!
Racoon on PA cam.
Beautiful picture of ospren in Finland. Foggy in distance, but morning sun shining on the nest. It is clear and beautiful!
You are sure right about Spidey, Lollly. Hard to see much of the nest at all.
I think Spidey has some more meals stashed away!
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE/GREAT DAY TOMORROW TO YOU ALL....
[:~)]
Jim
It would be nice if the wind would hit it just right and destroy the web. Someone is sure restless in the nest.
Nite Jim!
Doesn't look like rain though and wasn't rain predicted for tonight?
Do eaglets walk in their sleep?
I just found Helen's weather report. !00% chance of rain. It probably hasn't gotten there yet.
Not that I know of! :) One of them must have slept too much today.
Yeah, very restless! Keep looking at the nest at LW. Can see two eaglets now.
