We go to Colorado about every two years. Have been doing this for years and years. We raised our two kids tent camping and hiking. Jack and I now like our bed in our trailer. But, it will be dry camping, no electricity and no water.
Not that I remember, Jenny. We go up the interstate through Col Springs and Denver and then straight over to Estes Park. We have have come home down through central Colorado.
Happy St Patty"s Day to all and thank u for continuing the vigil. Belle is tucked and I am tuckered. Hahaha. Enjoy the beautiful view of the nest. I'm going to check out the backs of my eyelids now.
I must call it a night too! Has been a wonderful day (checking in and out) Nice to meet you Lolly--thank you all so much! See you all bright and early. Sweet Dreams.
I see that our eagle, Bell I suppose, is sleeping with head tucked. I am having a hard time relaxing after a very busy day. Came down for a glass of milk and a snack.
Flash is dreaming and making little yips. He had a busy day as well.
Gee, Jenny, I don't know. I'll have Margy fill me in on your last name and some other info and we shall see!!!
Jo has a daughter named Jenny and I have a granddaughter named Jennifer that we call Jenn. Don't think anyone calls her Jenny and I don't know why--I love it!
Okay, gang....that's it for me for this day. HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY to all!!! Don't forget your green or orange!! Hope Lori wakes up in time to get to work!! Later, gators. Prayers for all. Sure praying, too, for a bundle of fuzz by morning light!
Hi, Lori, and anyone else who's still awake and watching!
I just got in from school about 45 minutes ago, and it's taken me a while to catch up on the blog. Still no eaglet, but just a pip? Wow, thought for sure the hatch would've happened by now!
Had a very busy English class tonight--covered SO much material! I am really tired, and my brain is fried! I would love to stay and watch, but just too doggone tired! BTW, forgot to turn off my live cam, and it's been running for just short of 15 hours! Not about to turn it off now. Will check off and on tonight. Have said prayers for everyone, and all creatures great and small. Making sure the porch light is on. Thanks, Judie, for the night light! The eye-scanner security and Dana's thumbprint-scanner security are enabled. Sleep tight, and I'll be back in the morning to chat. God bless, and goodnight! Love all of you! :o]
Belle finally moved and got up but not OFF the nest.
Could see 2 eggs, could have been one egg and a half of a shell.
Belle messed with the eggs or some"thing" for nearly 2 minutes.
Could have been a chick but it's getting darker - the beautiful light & shadows are fading -so unless it's white like the shells it's difficult to see with Belle standing over them.
Hi There Lori! I had to click on the live feed and it started up with the commercial. She is snoozing. Head is tucked. Last evening she was up and down and up and down fuzzing with the egg cup. The moon has been great to us tonight but Belle hasn't showed us to much except the pipped egg. Well nothing more to do or say except Wait & Watch... Happy St Paddy's Day Lori!
Lori, thanks again for being our morning eyes. I'll be back again in about 8 hours. Safe travels to work - feed your cats and dog before you leave & give them scratches and hugs.
Good morning everyone! Hoping to see a little bobblehead this morning!
It looks like I am going to have surgery, called a Nissen fundoplication. It can be done laparoscopically but the recovery is a long process. Have to be on pureed food for 2 weeks, then soft diet, etc. I must say I am a bit scared about it but also sick of being sick so much. It will fix the hiatal hernia and fix the valve that goes from my esophagus into my stomach. Don't know when I am having it yet. The doctor is supposed to call me today I think. Hard to remember, yesterday was a blur. I slept almost the whole day.
Morning, Lori, Bev, Lynne, BEagle, Shirley :) Sorry to hear that, Bev, but I hope the procedure helps you in the long run. Greenhouse is starting to get full, lots of transplanting, seed sowing and cuttings to take today.
I really can't figure on how it's so light on the nest and sunrise isn't even for another 20 minutes. Still very dark here. That night light must come on in the AM??
Bev, we wanted to name it Boo after Paula's dog who passed on the day the first egg was laid, but she decided JOY would be a better choice. I threw in the O'Joy for St Paddys day and a play on words.
Yikes, I hope someone gets a good picture next 'showing', I will be birding and out of pocket all day.(Hope to see a hoary redpoll in OH) Glad Belle let me take a peek a few minutes ago.
Morning Magpie! Belle checking often---not showing us much, 1 beautiful Lucky little one! You are welcome for the intro! They have brought much joy and happiness to me and hopefully so many more!! Have a great day!
Now if McLiberty would hurry up and bring breakfast so O'Belle can get up so we can see Paddy O'Joy, then I could go back to sleep for an hour or two.....
yeah, me neither Paula! If I I don't get another look before 8:30, it'll be too late to try to go back to sleep. Then I'll just be a little McCranky today!

Our weather, Paula, is going to be in the low 80's tomorrow.
Paula my name is Jenny
Hi Jenny! Thanks!
Lolly, sounds like great weather...enjoy!
We have actually been having beautiful days.
Jenny, I am in Texas. Colorado is our favorite place to camp. However, I have been to Open House and the nest a couple of times.
Okay, so I had to get up and check one more time. Gonna be a long night!
Almost like babysitting isn't it!
Lolly have you been to the western slope--near Glenwood Springs?
Hey Paula, I hope I am remembering this right but we have watched 8 eaglets fledge over the years, right?
Not that I remember, Jenny. We go up the interstate through Col Springs and Denver and then straight over to Estes Park. We have have come home down through central Colorado.

Lolly-It is much like Rocky Mnt Natl. Do you watch any of the birds in Colorado ie: eagles, owls, falcons and so on?
Good Night WV Susan

Jenny, I do watch the eagles and owls on CO cams.
Sweet dreams!
Rocking Circle R----sorry, went and took my bath. I live in Hedgesville, but I'm originally from DC and VA! Been here now two-thirds of my life!

Don't forget your green or orange!!
Hope Lori wakes up in time to get to work!!
Later, gators. Prayers for all.
Sure praying, too, for a bundle of fuzz by morning light!
I am NOT shutting down. Why risk ruining a good thing......
Oops----looked at FB----bear update:
Cub goes outside!
Morning everyone - like there's anyone awake.
I just did the Evelyn Wood Speed Read thru the blog to see if we have a wobble head - not yet that I can see.
Belle is soundly sleeping for past 10 min.
Oh - WEAR your GREEN.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
Lynn - festive avatar!
Ya know, there's probably a little one in there saying "Geez, I could break outta here except by big ol' Mom is sitting on me and won't get off!"

G'night! :o}
Hi Andy - hope you catch this before you go to sleep.
Sorry, I've been staring at the camera and just realized it froze at 14 min again.
LATEST @ 1:59AM
Belle finally moved and got up but not OFF the nest.
Could see 2 eggs, could have been one egg and a half of a shell.
Belle messed with the eggs or some"thing" for nearly 2 minutes.
Could have been a chick but it's getting darker - the beautiful light & shadows are fading -so unless it's white like the shells it's difficult to see with Belle standing over them.
That's okay, she's the mom. She can do that. :)
@ 2:02AM Belle got up - lifted herself - and began fussing underneath herself.
I could def. see the PIP HOLE in the end of one egg...but that's all.
She got up off the nest and moved right in front of the camera view of the eggs!
Spent 3 minutes total messing with eggs and getting comfy.
She's now facing away from the camera.
restless & fussing in nest cup, but not off it for last 2 min.
Belle resting quietly now.
Gotta get ready for work or arrive stinky! :)
Good morning Jo, Lynne, Margy, Wanda and others who I'm sure will wake up and check in!
BBS
Belle still quiet - don't know what she was doing while I was in the shower.
Hi There Lori! I had to click on the live feed and it started up with the commercial. She is snoozing. Head is tucked. Last evening she was up and down and up and down fuzzing with the egg cup.
The moon has been great to us tonight but Belle hasn't showed us to much except the pipped egg. Well nothing more to do or say except Wait & Watch...
Happy St Paddy's Day Lori!
Sorry for above delete - Freddy the cat walking on keyboard. He doesn't know he can't type.
Hey Jo!
She was plenty restless last hour so probably worn out.
I hope that as the sun rises so will Belle and show us what has been going on down under all night.
I see that Sharon has peeked in
and others were here late.
Lori, thanks again for being our morning eyes. I'll be back again in about 8 hours. Safe travels to work - feed your cats and dog before you leave & give them scratches and hugs.
Talk with you later - nite again
Night owls I see, Jo what are you still doing awake?
JO, Thanks for all the animal love you sent. I will do.
As usual it's too dark to see at this hour, much less than earlier as the moon slides to the other side of the world.
In our world at THE NEST, we're all just waiting to see our new wobble-bobble of Joy!
All is quiet "as the nest turns"....pretty much ditto what Jo said!
Lori, thanks for keeping the night watch.
Back to bed I go. Later!
Sweet dreams of an eaglet Lynn!
Love your St Patty's avatar.
Still dark, but Belle is quietly sleeping, perhaps knowing she won't be getting much sleep now!
If you're up early checking -
STILL HAVE NOT GOT A CLEAR SHOT IF THERE'S AN EAGLET in the nest.
LIGHTING will IMPROVE DRAMATICALLY IN ABOUT AN HOUR, AROUND 6:20.
Good morning.
Can't hardly see the nest. There must be something extra in the nest now. You think?
We will just have to wait until daybreak unless Belle gets up for a minute. There could be something noticeable.
Belle is moving around a little now.
It's so dark but her head is disappearing. She must be looking underneath herself.
Hey BEagle - give it about 30 min and it'll be much lighter.
Hey Lori.
I don't see Belle's tail. I can see her bald head. I can't even tell if she's tucked or what.
Honestly, BE I've NEVER seen it this dark in the nest. Ever!
Good morning. I cannot see a thing. Not even if I tilk the screen. We really should have at least one little one today.
REPEATING If you're up early checking - we
We STILL HAVE NOT GOT A CLEAR SHOT IF THERE'S AN EAGLET in the nest.
LIGHTING will IMPROVE DRAMATICALLY IN ABOUT AN 30 MIN, between 6:20 - 6:30AM.
Goodness, the dogs are not moving this morning. They had too much excitement yesterday and last night.
George is up and about, though.
Last time I saw Belle, she was tucked.
Gosh, wish I could sell tickets for this! :)
Good Morning Shirley, Luna and George!
Good morning, Lori.
Man, do I need coffee this morning. Did not sleep much.
I hope the little one will glow like Belle's head...that is, if Belle gets up at this point.
I'd bet there's a hatchling in there without its eggshell protection this morning!!!
Shirley how was your Bridge game get-together?
it's lightened up a tiny bit already.
You'll be amazed at how fast it changes.
Ah, morning...
33° here now, gonna be a nice day:)
nest weather for today-
Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 60s. West winds 5 to 10 mph.
Good Morning Megan.
How's your greenhouse?
I'm so excited to see tulips coming up and daffodils haven't bloomed yet! :)
Good morning everyone! Hoping to see a little bobblehead this morning!
It looks like I am going to have surgery, called a Nissen fundoplication. It can be done laparoscopically but the recovery is a long process. Have to be on pureed food for 2 weeks, then soft diet, etc. I must say I am a bit scared about it but also sick of being sick so much.

TOP 'O THE MORN TO YOU! Happy St. Paddy's Day!
Light much better as Lori predicted and Belle just untucked herself, and then tucked again.
Hi Sissy.
My Mom had that surgery. She did very well with it and hasn't taken acid meds since!
You'll be okay. I'm excited for you.
Getting light now!
Good Morning!
AH, LIGHT!
LIB must be in the area. Belle suddenly alerted and looked up.
Hi Geula - I was thinking about you last night. Hoping that you didn't miss the big day.
I hope all is great for you.
Morning, Lori, Bev, Lynne, BEagle, Shirley :)
Sorry to hear that, Bev, but I hope the procedure helps you in the long run.
Greenhouse is starting to get full, lots of transplanting, seed sowing and cuttings to take today.
the cam is zoomed in? It looks like it is...
Yes, Geula. They zoomed in a few days ago.
TIME TO GET UP BELLE!!!!
Well no egg shell I see. Happy St Pattys Day to all the early morning peeps.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! I can't stand the suspense.
Wanda & Dana would you gals go over to the nest and wake up Belle?
Come on LIB, bring in the WUSHI!
Come on Belle. Stand up please before I get n the shower.
Lori, funny about Freddy. It's a cat thing ya know. Haha.
Belle looks like she's snuggled down for a deeper sleep.
Susan, Freddy is a lover cat ONLY when I'm on the computer and he can make his way to lying down in front of the monitor. :)
I really can't figure on how it's so light on the nest and sunrise isn't even for another 20 minutes. Still very dark here. That night light must come on in the AM??
SHe's up
Belle is up
Good Morning! Happy St. Patty's Day! Belle is moving around and picking at something a chick perhaps? I hope!!
Belle calling out-
oh that horrible bird...how could she just deny us the look we've been waiting for so long?????
Eaglet hatched? Couldnt see. B is calling.
Not long or high enough for me.
Did you see anything Megan?
LOL Lynne!!
up again
SHe's not letting us see yet
Wiggle wiggle wiggle Is she eating somthing?
UGH. Yeah well that whole wiggle wiggle thing isn't so cute this morning.....
Up again!!!!
MOVE OVER BELLE
This is a covert operation this morning!!! She is not showing us that cup!!!
I bet there is a baby under there, I bet there is!!!
Omg I JUST LOST MY FEED....&^^%^^&&$$#@$%^^&&*
She just is not going to reveal the answer of egg or eaglet
Belle is practically mantling...
She's keeping it warm under there for sure.
this time out thing is annoying. hope I didn't miss a peek while I was watching F150 for the one hunderd and seventy second time.
Lynn2 Didn't miss a viewing
ROTFL!!! Lynne!
You didn't miss anything- my feed goes on and off, no rhyme or reason to it.
Finally light here now. Maybe Lib will show up soon so we can see.
whew, good.
FLoralgirl Has Liberty been making early morning visits?
He usually shows up in the morning, after Belle calls for him.
Floralgirl--Was on yesterday for the 1st time in a long time--trying to catch up--Thank you--nice to see you here :)
Hello Rocking circle- welcome back- I tend to float in and out of here...
oh just look at her sitting there like she hasn't a care in the world this morning. Evil bird.
Belle, I love you, BUT...
Get off the dang nest!
Thanks floralgirl--was up way to late watching last night--Just can't stop watching!
Perhaps the government should hire Belle to do their torturing! :)
She is really watching for Liberty isn't she?
She's just comfy, that's all. Maybe Lib will show up with food soon.
Very Funny, Lori!!
If there is an eaglet, Lib should be filling the nest up with fish very soon. He certainly knows how to provide for his family.
They are wonderful parents!!!
Sissy: They are wonderful parents.
Hope he doesn't bring in a turtle!
Check your refresh time everyone.
I have been running at 20 hours and 36 minutes.
And I really need this bird to stand up so I can go lie back down.
Eagle Eye--Did you get any sleep?
Oh JOY - or Paddy.
There it is!
I saw a baby!!!!!
DId you see that ?
CHICK!!!
Was it just me or did someone else see it???
WE HAVE A BABY!
I saw it! Chick on the left side
Thanks for the little peek, Belle!
Looked like crumpled egg shell on that last move.
OMG!!! O'Joy is here!!!!!!
We are grandparents!!!!
I'm pretty sure I saw him rolling around a fluff ball...or was I dreming?
Good point Rocking!
Thank you Belle for the peek!
Welcome BABY!
Does look like egge shell on right Susan.
I could Not truly make out the chick. Need to see again.
O'Joy O'Joy O'Joy our wee one has arrived on this St Paddy's day!!
Should we name it Patty since it was born on St. Patty's day?
Yep, a chick on the left side and it got rolled just like an egg:)
Where's PAULA?
Bev, we wanted to name it Boo after Paula's dog who passed on the day the first egg was laid, but she decided JOY would be a better choice. I threw in the O'Joy for St Paddys day and a play on words.
Yikes, I hope someone gets a good picture next 'showing', I will be birding and out of pocket all day.(Hope to see a hoary redpoll in OH) Glad Belle let me take a peek a few minutes ago.
Should be some wushi very soon. So anxious to see babe being fed!
Just got my internet back up....
HOpe you find your redpoll Lynne, have fun!
Eaglets having breakfast at NBG.
Morning Paula!!!
Granny, what kind of bird is that?
Good morning everyone.
Morning, Glo!
Morning, all! Sitting here waiting for a peek :)
We do have a baby chick? Yes?
Belle is checking often--not letting us see too much!
Okay - I read what you have seen and look forward to seeing it myself....
will have to be from work
Good Joyous Eagle Morning Everyone
nice avatar, RockingCircleR Jenny - I see Colorado !
And THANK YOU FOR INTRODUCING ME TO THIS WONDERFUL EAGLE NEST IN FEBRUARY 2006 !!
and thanks Paula for helping me become a Momster ☺
Best wishes for a wonderful day, everyone, hope to "see" you from work but it is going to be a busy day...
xoxo ♥
WVgal dana, YES!
Dagonit had to reboot. So B really showed us the new baby??? So exciting. Now for Lib and wushi!!!
What a blessed day!
Paula - what do you say on the name?
JOY?
My vote is for Joy since we know we have one egg for sure... If we get #2 we can switch names or call that one Paddy. Just a thought ...
Morning Magpie! Belle checking often---not showing us much, 1 beautiful Lucky little one! You are welcome for the intro! They have brought much joy and happiness to me and hopefully so many more!! Have a great day!
Joy and Lucky?? Any baby would be so "lucky" to have such wonderful parents.
I second that Lori! O' JOY O' JOY!!!!
Great idea Jenny.
Well, Belle just tucked her head!
OH NO SHE DIDN'T Just tucked her head back in for a nap!! MEAN EAGLE.
but Belle is so tired--she worried and moved a lot last night!
now that's a good girl, wake up!
I'm with whatever ya'll want...We could call this one Patty or Pat or Paddy....and if it's the only one, it could be Patty O'Joy?
Paula, I love that! Paddy O'Joy!! Great name.
Me too!!! Paddy O'Joy!
As the forever fearless and dedicated leader of this band of nut jobs! - kidding - Paula should decide.
Really.
Not a sermon - just a thought.
(OK I stole that from the radio commercial.) :)
Now if McLiberty would hurry up and bring breakfast so O'Belle can get up so we can see Paddy O'Joy, then I could go back to sleep for an hour or two.....
Love it Paula!
That's great!
OK if we are nuts, the I'll be Mac Adamia for St Paddy's day!
LOL, Lynne.
I'm not moving till I see that Paddy O'Joy!
Guess everyone was too excited to get a pic on that last peek?
So sorry Paula--I didn't.
At least we are getting some different commercials!
yeah, me neither Paula! If I I don't get another look before 8:30, it'll be too late to try to go back to sleep. Then I'll just be a little McCranky today!
Great idea Paula. I love it!!
no, too shocked to get a picture.
oh man, I'm still getting the F150 commercial. I think if I see one in person today, I may just try to run it off the road.
Congrats everyone.
Paula, thanks for picking the great name! Paddy O'Joy!
oh McFabulous. O'Belle is taking a nap.....
I've lost my live feed...anyone else?
Wanda, you may have to refresh 3 times...that happened to me last night and Paula too.
I am having more luck with Firefox than I had with IE keeping the feed going. Kept losing it in IE. Belle is napping again!
Hey, Megan...I changed your email to daily digest...let me know if you start getting momster mail.
Thanks, Lynne...it worked!
Welcome Paddy. Bring on your baby brother or sister.
As for nuts, Lynne or Mac, or Ms. Adamia, you can call me Bra Zil or Ms. P. Can.
