«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 580 Newer› Newest»Belle is going to have to start yelling!
Owie, just jumped.
I can't believe he didn't bring food. I can't watch this anymore. Someone please holler when they get food in the nest. I am praying it is soon!
This is not like me..I am not usually one to worry, but rather one to calm others. But now I am worried. I would be less worried if that little one had had at lease one feeding...what a time for the hunting to go bad :(
I can't get a good shot, Belle is so uncomfortable, but I believe the second eaglet is completly out of the shell.
Uh Oh, Sandi! Snow in DE? Two of our Park naturalists are on a weekend birding trip w/maybe a dozen guests on our bus. They left Sat. AM for Prime Hook. Probably on way home.
That shell is OPEN
YES!!!
Was that the remnant of the first egg or part of the second?
She is moving around so much I can't see clearly what is underneath Belle!!
Chick TWO is almost out!!
How many of you are looking underneath Belle like you might get a better look that way?? LOL
I know I am!!
Well all I know to say is if its safe to leave and Shep doesn't bring food then Belle will do it. I just believe now that number two is hatched she will go for food herself IF it is safe to leave the babies to do so. Sorry I cannot watch and there is no video from me. I need food there just how it is.
What is that flying by the nest?? Two times now.
Welcome baby Shamrock!
Now, Shep for some food, please and thank you.
I am not worried about the food either!!
There could actually be fish on the side of the rails where we cannot see......right?
Or maybe the plan is to wait and start the feedings with both of them at the same time...
Welcome Shamrock and I completely understand GLO..I am with you on this one...
The second one is out of the shell...but she keeps stepping on it , it looks!
I say I can't watch and can't stop watching!! Praying for food! I am sure we have two eaglets now!! C'mon Shep!!!
Put a pic of Chick 2 and egg hat in the Nook! You need to enlarge.
Gotta start cutting cabbage & potatoes! I want to hear about early dinner at the nest, so holler. If nothing comes today, I'm sure an couple grossery store fish thrown near the tree would work!!!!!I guess guards are there 24/7 but maybe Wanda with her new knee could sweet talk her way past the shack!!LOL
Holding hands...
Is second chick out of the shell? I saw a half shell loose out of the cup almost and yet can not get a full view as Miss Belle is in the way.
She is certainly NOT giving us a good view...she has gone a complete circle once and is half way through the second time!!!
I don't think I have ever seen Belle so figidity!!
Probably lots of squirming under her!
From STEVE CHASE ON FACEBOOK:
Second eaglet hatched. The male needs to come through with some food...
Happy St. Patrick's Day to all here. I've been watching most of the day. Stepped away to work on coffee pot...come back...missed the second hatching. I've missed the eggs being laid and now the hatchings. I guess to get food I am going to have to quit watching. We've got to Wal-Mart but I'm waiting until race is over. Take care all. Glad to see Jewels and Christie on the blog. Hope you two are well.
Yes HODA second chick is out of the shell..vid was posted on the cam chat
Hi Jerry.... Glad to see you ob here!!! You like Nascar?? I am a huge Dale Jr fan!!! Sixth place finish, Ill take that!!!
* on We are both doing well. Thanks for asking. Hope you and the fam are well too!!
Thank you LYDIA.
Kasey Khane won the race!! Now Shep, about that fish?!!
I need to go to the park and some sun time!!!
BBL
I ♥ US

Course, it says "Smitty" on the vid. From Deb on the cam chat
Kahne!! Oops!
So......
Our eaglets hatched about 13 hours apart almost to the minute.....
#1 - 3/16/13 2:30pm
#2 - 3/17/13 3:30pm
Pretty darn good!!
Hedgie & Shamrock as I am seeing so far from the posts...
I am assuming that if we have a male and female, the female will be Hedgie!! Correct??
Either way...
We are truly Blessed!
Belle has settled down..... Ok Shep, I need to go find my own food. You won't bring momma the food, so I am going to eat in hopes that the babies get some of my nutrition... LOL!!!!
Hi everyone, I had to leave for a while today, but I'm back watching and hear we have a second little chick! Is he/she as vocal at Hedgie?! lol
Stronghunter/Shirley I didn't realize you were the same person! Send me a friend request on the FB feed on the OC. I can't seem to find you there!
And thanks Paula for the welcome back! It's great being back here seeing the healthy babies and their beautiful parents and all of you guys!
Happy Sun Time HODA. I think I better take a break too I am stressing watching the continuation of no food.
Will do, Maria. I found your page the other day in trying to identify you as the Maria we know on the Blog.
Have been lurking. Now going to run to the grosssserie store, Shall I pick up some fish? Come on eagles....the monsters are getting restless!
Yep Shirley, same old me! lol
LOL Lolly!!!!!!!! :D
SHe feeding??!!!!
It looks like she is feeding Hedgie something??
Geez, I jsut saw a pciture of the Aloca nest where they also had a hatch of their first bobble yesterday and a second hatch underway today...BUT their pantry is full. 2 fish on the nest at Aloca .
Hope food appears at Shep doon sigh
looks like FOOD
Belle was giving her something!!!!
FEEDING LIL HEDGIE
oh yeah...FEEDING !!!
Wait!!!!! We have food it looks like--Yay! Look babe being fed!!!!
awwwww look!!!!!
She is feeding her something! I see Shamrock! WooHoo! I think I can breath a little bit!
Maybe I was right.....
There must have been something on the rails around 1 o'clock!!
Good grief he's even vocal when he's eating! LOL
I heard Shep land.... he had to have brought food!!! I heard one of them calling out before he landed
I think Shamrock is wearing half of her eggshell as a hat!
Belle did eat a fish there that Shep brought in early yesterday morning. Maybe she has some small nestovers there. Thats all this lil one needs is small. Just something ANYTHING!!!!
Did you see Shamrock try to get around his egg??
Not enough strength to move yet.
Boy Hedgie sure has an appetite!!
Shamrock still has a piece of egg on him.... not moving a whole lot, hope Belle comes over to feed him too!!!
That is a welcome sight!!!
tHE EGGSHELL IS MOVING~~~bABY 2 TRYING TO GET OUT FROM UNDER. bELLE is MOVING HER HEAD TO TOP OUT OF SITE AND DOING SOMETHING FOR OLDER CHiCK LIKE i SAW 2-3 HOURS AGO. mAYBE THERE IS SOME FOOD UP THERE WE CAN'T SEE. nEED TO ZOOM OUT A LITTLE.
Sorry, capslock....
Shep landed again, bet he brought another fish!
I'd like to see more movement from Shamrock....
Hedgie is hungry!!!
I missed the hatch...is that eggshell still ON the baby?
I think dad flew by and dropped a fish on side of the nest. There was calling and you could hear something, then right after Mom started feeding Hedgie and boy is Hedgie ever chowing down. YAY!!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥
No food for Shamrock. Not yet, but U do see a piece of that fish at about 12
AWW, c'mon, Belle. Feed Hattie, too.
Yea, so glad that I hadn't left to get my food yet!!! I would have missed that feeding!!!
Might be too soon for Shamrock to eat just yet.
It sure looks like Belle keeps getting her talons stuck trying to get both of them under her!
Always amazing to watch....
You are right, Carolyn!
I wonder if it is something other than a fish. I see very dark reddish brown!! Hmmmm
Shamrock i too tired to eat yet and does not need food anyway. Normal for new hatch to sleep--hard work breaking outta that shell :)
I am happy now {{{{GROUP HUG}}}}
relief
((((GROUP HUG!!)))
of course, I think we won't REALLY relax until we see them fly away....
Well guys, off to make dinner and do some drawing. I'll be here silently in the background! :)
Alright my friends, signing off to go in search of my on food, and then to try to get in another nap before work.... will be checking in from work. (((((((HUGS)))))))
First real food for Hedgie"> Thanks Sissy for the quick headsup I was able to get part of the feeding
yes you know many of us were really stressing and flashbacking. We so needed to see that feeding!!!
YAY GLO! Thank You ♥
GLO, thanks for the video!!! I would have missed it. :)
Glo, thanks for the video of the end of the first feeding!! Looks like Deb on the OC got some video as well, though she hasn't posted it.
I just had to leave the cam for a while. I know I should have been reminding myself that everything would be fine, but I just kept remembering 2 years ago ... Even though I missed seeing the feeding and seeing #2 hatch, it's what I needed to do.
I feel so much better now! Welcome to the world little Shamrock!! Maybe you're a good luck charm??
Someone is dancing on the cam!
I have spent so much time on here today that dinner will be late. I put it in the oven about an hour ago. It says 3-3 1/2 hours to cook. Inched up the temp a mite.
Well, I need to go take a bath before spending any time with the rest of the family.
And no hair appointment yet. Will take care of that tomorrow, assuming the weather permits.
Good things happen when you nap! Now we are in the swing of things!
We just got an invite to dinner at son's house - corn beef and cabbage!
Shirley, I hope your dinner turns out well.
I've missed some comments - Didn't know about "Shamrock" Very appropriate for the date it is. Let me know if we need to take a vote as I had heard other names mentioned.
Yes, we have very good parent eagles! BBL
I do not see snow there yet. Coming down here.
Corn and beef and cabbage here, too. That is why I needed to get it in the oven.
Jo, I think we are looking to name it a name that is agreeable to the people on OC. They seem to have accepted Hedgie. I hope those names work. I am certainly open to other names.
So we did have a feeding finally? for sure? I had to go out this afternoon and was worrying all day!
Oh I like that thought SANDI. Shamrock is a good luck charm :) And enjoy your dinner everyone. I have to go take care of that myself
I have a 12 hour work day tomorrow (ugh) and firewall prevents me from peeking in from work computer, but I will be taking my netbook and checking news as often as I can between things...
Will probably be back later to say G'nighty ♥
Yes, PattiO, first feeding was about 4:30. There are several videos of it and it was REAL food this time! Also, #2 has hatched! Hooray! I didn't see it in real time - had to walk away for a while, but have seen Glo's video and Deb's from OC.
Ohhh hooray for #2! I was just catching on to that reading up here. :)
I am perfectly fine with the name Shamrock. I will go with the flow! Belle is still pretty restless, isn't she. I still would like to see a big ole fish laying in that nest but I am very grateful that there are at least scraps to feed them!
I think we are all good with Shamrock MEMA JO. Christie and CAROLYN too...
Glad Hedgie was fed.
LINDA I think the first hatched is HEDGIE be it a male or a female. The same with the second SHAMROCK be it male or female. At least this is my opinion.
I wonder how JUDYE will come home tonight...is she walking back again. She will be getting her exercise for the day. I hope she stops for some hot food for supper tonight.
The wind off the glaciers here is COLD!!! Beautiful sun but my oh my is it a cold wind!!! Did my walk but could not enjoy sitting in the sun I would have frozen!!!
WAY TO GO SHEP AND BELLE!!!
Yes LYNNE I think we will keep fussing till they fledge is right!!!
BEV Shep did bring in fresh food today and it is all good.
I am good with the names Hedgie and Shamrock. I know we never give them gender names -
Good point Shirley and Hoda!
Headed out to son's for dinner
BBL
Good about the fresh fish Hoda. I thought it was nestovers from yesterday. Belle is calling out.
Belle calling out.
Belle calls out...someone lands on Cam I presume Shep since she calmed down...she is very protective.
The eagle has landed (in the tree)!! Sounds like Belle is calling up to Shep for a break? Or maybe she's saying, "Bring more food - we have 2 to feed now!"
I was lucky enough to be able to get on the blog at my work before I retired, Lydia. Was prepared to request access and say it was an educational site if necessary. Even though I was an English teacher. We could always write about it . . .
Guess that would work for every job.
I think Shep is in the tree. Belle was calling.
well if there is a fish it is certainly balancing far on the edge of the nest. I know someone mentioned he might have but well I surely see nor ever saw any real signs of it. Need another feeding from something i can see is a fish. He is back I saw the camera wiggle. Nothing else to say in the fish/food department from me.
Belle almost doing a face plant. She's had a big day.
I was about ready to say that someone should take some fish over there and put it as near as possible to the nest. Seriously.
Belle looks like she's ready to do a face plant! Long day for her - but I think a longer day for the humans watching the nest!!
From the radar, it looks like the wet weather has stayed just south of the nest so far. But there's still plenty of wet to come!
All the more important with bad weather coming.
I said it is snowing here. Hunter disagrees and said it is sleeting. But it is not cold enough for him to wear a jacket. I guess he is trying to prove his manliness.
When I asked him to shovel the front steps in the last storm, he said he did not need gloves because he's a man. Geesh.
Those sleetflakes are coming down outside my window.
2nd shaking to the cam I have observed over the pasr 20 minutes. Belle is alright by it. She is watching somehting but seems calm for now.
Home from walking from work
and find another thread and heard we had another chick
cam just shook too
Shep took off again saw cam shake. Maybe he will actually land in the nest next time with some food we can see. I so need that before dark and especially a storm BUT there is something edible there for littlest one for now. I know some of you think its fresh fish :-)
someone is in attic big thud
food
food was on stick and he moved stick small what ever it is
well its very small but it is there
Shep arrives with food...moves the big stick where it was and almost pokes Belle with it. She gets off the cup area. He takes off and the srick is dangerously close to the chicks...now MAMA move that stick please!
poof shep go get more
is Belle off eating it herself
you can hardly see the chicks
someone need to move the sitck too
Nest is kind of a mess.
peep peep I love it
I think she ate some. Now she is feeding.
Home and reading that there was an earlier feeding and now Shep has brought in something very small. I certainly wish the middle of the screen was not blurry.
Belle is feeding Hedgie!!!
Glad you are home JUDYE I hope you enjoyed your walk and did you stop for a hot bite to eat so you would not have to order out?
Hedgie is eating and Shamrock put his head up but keeled right over!!! ALl is well...good beak contact between Belle and Hedgie.
I wonder if the blurryness does not have something to do with the zooming in?
OK YES Baby is having and doing well with a good feeding of fish. OK I think I can go fix something to eat now too. LOL
Hedgie is getting fed again. Hope Shamrock gets in on the action!
Now she is moving that stick.
WAY TO GO MAMA BELLE!!! Moved that stick!!!
that was guick and she moved the stick some I guess little bellys huh
Mercy Sakes...took awhile to see
movement...but movement is there
that nest IS a Royal Mess..
no more beak to eggshells ☺
Let the thriving begin and continue !
I think so LOLLY about the bluriness...it was a bit off from before but the zoom in has made it worse.
Howdy Hoda! Hope today has been a wee bit better for you, though know you are worried.
I know that I am very happy with Hedgie and Shamrock, but if anyone is not happy, please speak up and we will vote.
I's a lot warmer and milder hereabouts than I expected....
42 degrees at My Roost, with heavy cloud cover
Presently 74 here and sunshiney!
The picture is much clearer on my phone than it is on my computer. You would think it would be the opposite.
At least there has not been rain nor snow for the nest today!!!
I did not think Shamrock had any to eat. She fed Hedgie and also herself.
I like this prayer MARGY to let the thriving commence and continue...so how many weeks now before they fledge? So hard to imagine those little ones will be as big as chickens and turkeys before they fledge!!!
I love it!!!
If Eagles could laugh, I think both Shep and Belle would be....
those baby eaglets' moving HAS to tickle their brood patches !
Maybe I should check my ipad picture.
Did I miss him bringing food? I didn't see it. I just saw him pick up that big stick and hit Belle in the face with it. I don't think she appreciated that very much, by the way!
OH I don't know about the fledging dates right now Hoda...
and that littlest one should be fine for the nxt 24, but am sure he or she will be a big copycat in no time flat and be a'begging
JUST A SMALL MORSEL OF FOOD
I didn't exactly see food, but I did see Belle with Something in her beak, and I think there are
leftovers just out of our view...
Hope the Parents are getting THEIR fill also, they have some very busy days ahead of them
Hi Sissy !!!
I did a video of the landing and some of the feeding uploading now
It was very small what he brought in and Belle immediatly took it in her beak. Then he tried to clobber her with the stick.
I had to make a decision early
on not to stress too much,
I think my plate is full in that
department
And I really trust these Royal Parents... !! ♥♥
I sent Paula a text message awhile back that the 2nd hatch was well underway and that Belle was feeding Real Food to Baby #1
Linda!
by the way, thanks for YOUR text message Saturday, I was at work and did not get it for awhile after that
Good, Margy! Glad you did that.
Wren
sometimes wren sounds like
Teacher Teacher Teacher, I Like That !!
and sometimes like
Security Security Security, I like that also
It has been fun having old friends drop in today as well as the newbies.
Sent Megan a message earlier also, but she has been watching most of the day also...
Can't Wait, for Megan Plants....that's the next big joyful event on my calendar!
Saw your lovely budding reports, Lolly, is Wonderful !
Ditto that Lolly!
About Oldies and Newbies...
I am looking at the video now slo mo and when he moved the stick is when she picked up the small peice of whatever he brought in it is in her beak as he moves the stick and then trips
Oh Lolly in case you might have missed it, I saw the RS Hawk roosting on her nest at Swinging Bridge..I figure egg-laying maybe around the first of April, so that I can see those babies around
the 14th of May.....
3rd year coming up for that.
Sorry to repeat myself on all that stuff
Watching both laptop and ipad. lol They are not together and trying to decide whick is ahead. Hard to tell. I think the ipad is way ahead of the laptop. Funny! Now I want to see which one has a more focused picture of Hedgie and Shamrock.
Very good, Margy. Have not heard our hawks recently. Figure they are sitting on eggs now. Need to find out what nest they are using...either two doors down or across the street.
The houses across the street have a little valley behind them. They have more land and therefore pastures where the hawks hunt.
I keep thinking Belle is going to do a face plant.
OH on the way walking home I found three hatched small white eggs just laying on the ground in three different areas with in a two block
I am loving hearing the Robins here on Pendleton Drive doing their morning and evening songs...
as always, see way more Males than Females...
Hope you can zone in on the Hawk's nest, Lolly... and by the way, Hello to Jack ! How is he doing?
oh sorry about the unhatched eggs, JudyE...that's nature....sad but true
I sent out an email...thank you for the love and support to all of you who listened to my story in prayers. It is manageable.
well we are with you over the Long Haul, Hoda...
(( Hugs ♥ ))
And you are Certainly Welcome....
!! ♥
Here is the video I did of the landing of Shep with the small morsel of food and he picks up stick pokes her in chest and trips in process I know Glo did one and its on fb also not knowing if she will bring it over
Ol Jack is doing just fine, thank you. He is sitting here reading. He will go back for more blood work next month. Will see where he stands and proceed from there. He is not worrying, continuing to do his Jack things. We are considering a quick trip to Georgia to see his sister and sister's family. We are expecting another great great niece that should be born any day now. We have to wait til after she is born and Jane is home from visiting in Alabama.
Blessings to you and JACK LOLLY. Let us see pictures of the Great Great Niece when she arrives.
the FtMeyers nest is suffereing from MT nest the eaglet are branching now and can't be seen on camera
All sounds good, Lolly...
I know "his Jack Things" are quite remarkable....thank you for the report
oh, so fast it seems at Fort Myers, JudyE....it's been a fun ride for those folks down there
Well lets hope my truck is fixed tomorrow
I wore my pedometer on my sock today and going to be throwing it away I know its over 2 miles to work I have clocked it with truck But my ped says I walked a little over a mile WRONG and I wore it all day today like I use to and it said I only walked 3 miles at work and I know that is WRONG too so it the garbage it goes
It was drizzling on the way home from work today Its 69 out now
LM LM
GLAD to see that Jo had some
family time today ☺
With such a LARGE Family, it could happen everyday and there will be plenty of Family to visit yet...
If someone wants this here is the link for the second feeding Small Fresh Fish for supper>
A friend of mine said "Looks like someone else baby he brought" for dinner I know I didn't recognize what it was
I love the name SHAMROCK!
Weather report has gone from 1-3 inches of snow, to 2-4". Don't think it will last, Tuesday will be in the 40s:
Martinsburg, WV 25401 Change Location
Tonight3/17/2013 Lo: 32° A chance of snow with a slight chance of rain this evening...then snow with rain likely after midnight. Snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches. Lows in the lower 30s. East winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation 90 percent.

The eagles can deal with that, Wanda, as long as food is brought in.
I am off to prepare our dinner.
BBL
Signing off for the evening! Been good hanging out with you all today! Love and hugs all around! See ya tomorrow!
There is a PBS special on
Celtic Thunder 7 to 9 pm
think that is what I'll be watching..
Hope Jo sees this !!
See Ya' Sissy, It HAS been fun
xoxo ♥
Yes, Lolly...don't think they will have a problem. They have delt with more, very nicely.
Belle off the cup and the eaglettes are wiggly!Cute
Here she comes Ma is back on the cup tucking them in and doing a wiggle wiggle and is comfortable now.
BELLE WAS UP FOR A POOP SHOOT AND NOW IS BACK OF BOTH
Friend just posted a map showing 1-3 inches for Hagerstown and surrounding areas!Looks to include Martinsburg so that means the nest too. Not too much accumulations before turning to a wintry mix. :P
oops sorry to repeat looks like the weather was already posted.
With Hedgie and Shamrock being so close to each other I wonder if I will be able to keep them straight...Will a day's difference make a difference in who gets more food and who gets to be more pushy?
Are they be both the same gender? Do we have one of each? All these questions are going through my head.
Belle is about to do a faceplant! Nope head is up again now.
Thank you for the report DANa and yes we think that they will be able to handle it.
Night light on
Cool Judy! Just like eagles, other birds remove the shell of hatched eggs from nest and drop them away from the nest area so as not to attract predators.
Well tomorrow is a busy day.
CFUW and Silent Auction Committee meeting from 11:00 to 4:00 PM.
Yoga from 5:30 to 7:00 PM.
Some phone calls need to happen in the middle of the day...So I am looking forward to the many blessings that will become apparent.
Belle tucked in.
Oh My
in 10 posts or fewer
we will be at the
SPLIT
Well Belle is all tucked in so I'm going to call it a day. It was very nice to "see" everyone again. I'll be in LM mostly; things are very busy at work. Hugs and prayers for all in need.
SED
BELLE is tucked and I want to be tooo I am exhausted long day
I felt like a idiot today when I left work I forgot to put tissue in my pocket over two miles of oh I need to blow my nose only coughed a bit With the rain I think it helped the pollen too
OH forgot to say remember issue with cell last night well on the way home I got a message from the phone co to call them back about the issues I had last night Well and when I got home there are two messages on my machine same message to call them I wonder why I should call them the phone is working Maybe a survey who knows
my show is starting so LM
I love it Steve is posting pictures on facebook I thanked him for the night vision on the cam too and suggested someone go throw a fish up there since Shep hasn't stepped up to the bat like he did last year I remember all the fish he brought in
He brought in two today JUDYE
Thanks HODA I hadn't read todays blog my neck and back need not be on the chair too much I can keep up with now but haven't read back any at all
Were they BIG fishes ?
No big fish! I question if the second was a fish. I thought I saw a little leg, Do fish have legs? lol
Well Judy one was your video of the small portion of food and the other one was never actually seen by any of us BUT someone thinks the first feeding was actually a fish Shep brought in and left up on the edge of the nest where we couldn't see it BUT Belle used it to feed.
So we really do NOT know what hedgie had to eat today for sure BUT we do know hedgie was actually fed something by Belle twice. I can deal with that and hope for Bigger more identifiable meals tomorrow and for shamrock too who will be fine tonight.
