We are watching the goings on at the nest. If an egg was laid this AM, the fact that there has been no incubation for this many hours is not a good sign for this particular egg (if there is one).
We'll be preparing an update and will continue to watch.

Good afternoon. Didn't know an egg was seen. I am happy now I can watch on my phone now. It was not working the last two days for me. Sorry for my last post...but I was upset at my "full" season was going to end.
Eagle in nest now.
I see the eagle and a fish. Do not see an egg.
Thanks for the new thread, and thanks Jerry for the call over.
Enjoy your new feather!!
home from work I see eagle with fish in nest
THANKS FOR THE NEW THREAD STEVE
Thanks Jerry ! Congrats on a feather.
EAGLE IN NEST WITH FISH
If there was an egg in the nest I must have been covered and like you said, Steve the eagles have NOT been there much if at all today. I vote for no egg.
Thanks Steve for the fresh new thread
I must say that the picture they posted with the new thread looks lie an egg.
Two eagles now!
An egg???!!!!
I am seeing an eagle in the nest standing on a fish. Making some chirping noises. I have seen no egg; then again, the eagle is standing/sitting right where an egg would be.
Forgive my manners! Hi Jerry! Thanks Steve for the new thread and thanks, Jerry for the call over.
Jo, so glad to hear that Elliot made out fine with his surgery. Prayers now for quick healing of his little body! God love him!!
Cam just shook. Now 2 in the nest. Looks like Belle who just arrived. She is eating and Shep has backed away. Still can't see any egg - Belle has her back to the cam and is blocking my view while she chows down.
Two .now. Second one with fish first one brought but didn't eat.
I forgot to ask What is the American Life Steve was refering to and who said that there was a egg in the nest I don't see any
The first eagle had a nice fish. Second eagle is now chowing on the fish. Someone was hungry.
Hard to tell with two eagles in the nest, but I see no sign of an egg. Clear view now...no egg.
Dinner in the nest would be excellent! An egg in the nest would not be good! Very cold and windy today. Then again, eagles can handle the cold and Belle is a seasoned veteran when it comes to eggs.
Both eating now - still don't see any egg!
the pic does look like a egg sort of but nothing now
gym today for Jordyn in a bit
Judy, look at the new picture Steve posted with the new thread.
Hi Jo, Lolly and Sandi. Yeah...I didn't see an egg but have not been on until now. Just saw comment in new thread post.
Hi JudyE too.
Nice to see both eagles...now back to my closet for another hour! On a roll filling trash cans, recycle can and stuff to give away!
I came out of the closet (hee hee) for a while, now back I go!
I LOVE the way the sun shines on there backs
Shep is standing where the egg was in the picture HEY back at YA
poof one
STILL seeing no egg! Also, not seeing that fish anymore!!
Shep out!
poof two
MT nest - NO EGG!!!
I don't see the egg either but the pic just could have been a white spot of a stick maybe did you see it in the picture he posted
Thanks for the reporting...I lost the Cam now. I'll keep checking back.
I also lost the live feed got to get ready to go to gym see my Jordyn have a blast
taking tablet they have free wifi but I usually watch her
I vote that it was something else besides an egg...Don't think Belle would ever leave an egg...she laid an egg on the snow covered nest one year and never left it!
Someone on the OD channel feed posted that she laid an egg and it is buried in the grass...I think more people would have noticed!
I'm with Paula. I know she doesn't have to incubate the 1st egg immediately but I don't see both of them just burying an egg and then leaving it all day. Plus, Belle hasn't been acting like she does just prior to laying an egg.
My 2 cents, for what it's worth.
Getting dark now. I don't see an egg or any sign of one.
I do see something light-colored partially covered in nesting material. Lower portion of the nest at approximately 4:00. I don't think it is an egg, but don't know what it might be.
I hear something at the nest. Maybe a fox.
Daylight is fading fast and no eagles have returned to the nest.
Time to start IEP writing! Goodnight all!
Good night, Sandi.
The white object I saw under nesting material is close to the spot where the white object is shown in the picture Steve posted. Wondering what it is. Certainly not normal egg-laying behavior for our eagles. Must be something else.
oh my, been under the weather (it was not my brightest idea to go to work yesterday) and I see there MAY be an egg???
I see NOTHING on live or still cam. My hope of the Full Snow Moon shedding some light on the night activities is a bust....sort of, as the moon will not be very high til very late tonight.
And I don't think 🌝 🌚 🌛 🌜 full or otherwise we won't see anything
I agree with Paula and Sandi and the rest of you that the behavior is not right for an egg.
Not sharing my opinion on Facebook or on the Outdoor Channel chat, in order to avoid friction. But about an hour ago, the Eagle Cam FB page posted this: "As the day progressed today and they did not return, I realized that the egg might not have been a viable one."
I have heard stories of eagles and falcons incubating eggs for weeks (even for a full term) before reaching the conclusion that one or more of them isn't viable. I don't agree that it's something an eagle could determine immediately.
Of course none of us will ever know for certain, but I have been watching Belle for 4 years now and nothing about her behavior in the past few days indicated that she was ready to lay her first egg. In addition, if she did lay one, I think more people would have seen it AND she would be in the nest right now incubating it.
I'm sticking with the belief that someone saw something in the nest that looked like an egg and made an incorrect announcement.
Time for bathtub and bedtime. Goodnight all! See you in the early AM!
I also agree SANDI I deleted one of my comments a bit ago because I know some peek in on us and I don't want any friction also
There was something in the nest. Steve's picture shows that. And it does look like an egg. However, the eagles aren't acting like they had an egg. Could there have been something very wrong--a broken egg or something like that? Just throwing that out as a possibility.
And, of course, the eagles bring all kinds of things into the nest. As Sandi said, it's something we won't know for certain.
Still hearing that fox or whatever from time to time at the nest site.
Today was bowling day for me. I had one reasonable game and two terrible ones. Not being able to practice is hurting me. Just hoping that my knee gets better soon.
But also thankful that I'm getting around pretty well.
Shirley so sorry about the game and just remember its just a game
I was so hoping deb had a video and no talk of her laying the egg that I have seen
Good Evening to all ♥
I will definitely NOT add my opinion to any discussion of an egg or not because that is what it is - An Opinion. I don't think we will ever be sure why, whatever it was, was covered with flugg. I just don't want any drama and I'll patiently wait for a viable egg... ♥
Baby Elliot is doing well this evening - at home with mom and dad.
Aaron said his son is talking away and telling him all about his day.
I am so grateful that the day is over and that it went so well - by the Grace of God ♥
just saw a message under the live cam I never noticed before
Shirley, sorry you had two not-so-good bowling games today. Just take care of that knee, please.
Jo, most happy Elliot is doing so well.
Time for the pillows. Restful sleep everyone.
Terrific Tues - I watched NCIS
but not sure if I want to watch any others this evening.
I may be heading for the pillows soon
May as well say it -
Goodnight to all
Thankful for today ♥
so happy about Elliot JO fantastic news
Wonderful news about Elliott, Jo.
PT tomorrow.
Time for me to say good night.
SED, everyone.
Think I am going to stick my nose in my kindle tonight! So, going to say good night! IMHO I do not think there was an egg. I watched the cam a lot today and there was certainly no indication of egg laying! Just mho!
Night all,SED!
SNOW MOON is tonight
Security system is armed please be sure to use your code if out past curfew
Well I'm calling it a day
SED ♥AOYP

Healing thoughts for

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle."
Thinking of ANDY hoping she is ok
Goodorming my eagle friends.
Jo, what wonderful news that Elliot is home! let the healing begin!
Warming up a little today and then getting colder again tomorrow with maybe some snow. I LOVE winter!

Good Morning Eagle Buds
Good morning.
Jo, still thinking of baby Elliot. Glad he's home and on the way to healing.
Shirley, have a good PT session today.
MT nest.
Wishing everyone a wonderful day.
good morning to all. another crisp morning here, but warming up by afternoon.
dinner with the kids and g kids tonight. been a minute since I've seen them, kind of missing their sweet faces.
work work work today.
hugs and love to all
Good Morning Eagle Buds!!!
JO, love Aaron's description of Elliot's little speech last evening! So happy the baby is doing well!
JUDY, I don't think anyone answered your question re:This American Life. It's an NPR program, aired here on Saturday afternoons and chock full of interesting stories.
I have NPR on about 8 hours a day and can't imagine life without it!
SHIRLEY, it's a Victory in itself that you were able to bowl at all--you're well on your way to a big comeback! Yeah!
Thanks for the eagle/nest reportage everyone!
Yesterday's Doggy Play Day was fun. Now my long delayed (due to illness on the part of my hairdresser)Do is today at 12:45. I'll be home before the snow begins to fall. Expecting 1-3" between 3pm and midnight.
Love and prayers for all in need!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Good sunny cold morning
EAGLE ALERT
Our eagle and the fish have landed
About to head out for PT. Cold here today. I want to stay home.
Have a good day, everyone.
Saw the fish in the nest. No eagles when I looked.
Shirley, the eagle just proofed.
I think he got tired of waiting (which is unusual for an eagle)
for some company - Poofed and left the fish
I really have to get on with my day, but will check in again as time permits. I think we are getting close to eggs!
Quick check-in from school. I see that big headless fish in the nest! Yay Shep! I agree Lynne1 that Shep bringing food to the nest for Belle is a very encouraging sign!
Bye!
Bundle up Shirley and hit the PT
Kay - you will feel really good after
you get your ears lowered ! I love my Buzz But I forgot to tell you all that I did go to the hair dresser. I did have my neck and sideburns trimmed. She said she was trimming up all the feathers --- she defeathered me! Horrors for a Tough Old Bird to have thzt happen.
My delete - I stuttered

Good morning all.
Very proud of everyone for not engaging on Outdoor Channel or FB page.
PAULA SAID IT WELL. I concur.
Proud of you ladies!
Fish still laying in the nest
Someone is NOT hungry this morning
Oops it is 12noon -Perhaps saving it for lunch.....
Good morning! Jo, thanks for the laugh! I love that you had an appointment to get your do done! But, to be de feathered.!! You are an admired, respected, and LOVED O'l Bird!!!
Back to the closet for me today!
Prayers for Jack please! He is going today for another hearing test and plans on hearing aids. This is a very needed step.
Good afternoon. Checking in from work. Nest still empty with a piece of fish. I might try and swing by nest on my way home. Usually Usually don't see anything but will try anyway. Probably be 5-ish at that time...depending on how long I'm at Salvation Army store in Hagerstown. Take care all. Don't know much but if you all say no egg - I agree. You all know these two better than anyone - imho.
Well Lolly - of course Prayers for Jack's impaired hearing to be made as good as good can get with hearing aids. No More Whispering from you!
I am also along with hubby making appointments with ENT dr to improve our hearing.
Hi Hoda
Hope your day is going well.
Latest on Elliot from his mom is that he is 'as happy as a clam'! He
does weigh in at 12 1/2 lbs.
Jerry you may see some eagles at that time of day when you go by.
Be sure to look up in the attic !
My live feed has been up 1 and a half hours... That is good!
Question: where does the wind go when it isn't blowing ?????
102 lunch
Good afternoon eaglebuds
Kaythanks for the reply I wonder is it recorded somewhere
Hi,
Got home and fixed lunch. About time to go get Hunter. He and Kathryn will go visit the high school this evening. Getting ready for his freshman year as a high school student.
EAGLE ALERT
BOTH IN THE NEST
Both eagles landed together. Belle seems to have quickly claimed the fish and Shep is deferring to her.
Bus duty! Bye!
MT NEST AS OF 3:00PM
FISH WAS EATEN BY BELLE
SHEP GOT A FEW LEFTOVER SCRAPS
Nest is MT at 3:25 PM.
Shirley - I hope your PT went well
How has your knee felt since your bowling yesterday? Praying for it to heal and for the pain to leave.
BBL - Foraging for dinner items...

SO, two cannibals were having a clown for dinner when one says to the other, "does this taste funny to you?"
Good one Lynne2!! :)
Got a video from Brian today showing little Miss Freyja crawling! Now the fun begins! We shall see for ourselves Valentine's Day weekend.
I am hoping the service department at Pohanka Honda was so backed up today that they didn't get around to servicing my Pilot. That way, I can drive my loaner Mercedes SUV for another day!
Grocery shopping beckons! Later!
Nest is MT!
LOL LYNNE2
home from work and disappointed no eagle in the nest to greet me Was gonna stop at cell phone tower but is is so cloudy and the pic would suck anyway
They really have brought in big logs for the rails this year live the divining rod at 9
that should have been LOVE not LIVE the
eagle in
Eagle in! Guess my grocery list will have to wait a bit!
moving rail at 12
Cam just shook.
Jerry should be driving by the nest I think someone is in teh attic looking up
clunking on cam
crash landing alsomost got a snip of it
looks like someone is sittng down
Both eagles were digging in the grass in the center of the nest. So far, I haven't seen a glimpse of anything white, like an egg shell.
Is that a cricket I hear
The egg would have been toward 3 right?? from what I saw on the pic and I also see noting but if you look at the end of the ones stick that is white near the head of Shep now
if a stick were covered up that would resemble a egg what do you think see the end of the stick that is whitish
Two eagles in the nest.
Large bunch of flugg delivered/arranged
Shirley, hope PT went well and Hunter is excited about becoming a high school student.
Sandi, picture of Frejya is adorable. Hope you can enjoy the Mercedes another day.
Does Belle look like she is in the cup I thought the cup was more to the center to the right 3 ish maybe any opinions if she is sitting in the cup
Just got a recall on my truck in todays mail airbag passenger side
I don't ever have it on because of Jordyn but will call tomorrow to see if I can get in to get it replaced just don't want to be without wheels Or just may do on vacation this months 21st I am taking a week then in May a week or loose it
Belle strecthing her neck to see what Shep has
Shep is messing with rail at launch pad and Belle is pulling flugg around her MAYBE????
CALIFornia is showing on the MAP is that you ANDY
SANTA ANA, CA
72° out now rain hasn't made it to us all north of us for now Cold front heading this way a weak front
Belle is still in the cup just sitting pretty and Shep is at 5 launch pad just standing there
Belle are you up to something maybe
I'd say Shep got the mating right that time!
HP
and he stayed on for a bit
Looked pretty good to me, Sandi. I just tuned in to the live cam to see HP.
got some snips with tablet
Is that Shep sitting in the egg cup?? Move it, buster!!
I am sorta watching - glad others are and commenting
I am eating my dinner from Cracker Barrel
I'll read back when possible
Who is sitting in the egg cup ?
PT was good today, Jo.
My knee is okay. Some pain, but I think it is getting better. I don't think bowling hurt anything.
Went to the grocery store today and bought two gallons of milk. Hunter came home and one gallon is almost gone. He's been eating cereal.
Watching Belle and Shep.
what is going on
Uh oh - both calling out!!
Something is upsetting them. Lots of calling.
must be a intruder near
ITs BELLE in cup
must be all gone now
I wonder if Deb got a video of this
I guess I will find out if I get a email from from subscription to her
Just got home. Not sure exactly time I passed. First time I could see one high and in attic. Drive by second time and no one in attic then.
check out the wingspread I got with Shep approach to her on the momster facebook page I will put on the message email in a bit
I'm guessing it was a little before 5. Had someone behind me first time. Wasn't sure about stopping so I circled back.
pictures are in both places on fb now and will put in em album later
Jerry, the cam shook a little before 5, meaning an eagle had landed in the tree. I recall wondering if you were at the nest about then. Too cool!
they were in the nest the second time JERRY
JERRY I had mentioned earlier I thought you would be there just about then sooo happy you got to see one
They are still in the nest - right?
Here SHEP Is saying Here I come ready or not for those not on FB
one of the 3 snips of HP the first one
yep still there JO
not happy with the stick there I guess two time today its been tugged on
I went and put my snips on the Eagle Cam page also to share with them
Question the Deb S that does the video is from Hancock Right and the other Deb was from ODC is on the Eagle Cam page I just need to get the two straight
Poof one
POOF ONE
colors gone from nest
Nest empty
poof and more HP HP noises
Rats - thought maybe tonight was the night she would stay.
Didn't see the second poof.
someone is bound and determined if that was seconds I heard
Me too, Sandi.
EAGLE CALLING
Eagle calling out - must be keeping a lookout in the tree!
Love your new avatar Sandi
is anyone else here that heard that ??
Sounds like in the nest???
just saw you also heard that SANDI first sounded in distance then sounded like maybe in nest???
Judy, I was thinking an eagle in the tree, not in the nest but you could be right. Sadly, we can't see a thing!
Jo, thanks for noticing my new Freyja face!
Still waiting for my Honda to be dropped off so we can't get to the grocery store.
Shirley - holler at us if you hear the fox again tonight...
That may be upsetting our pair.
SANDI how could me miss such a beautiful face She makes me smile each time I see the picture she is so stinkin cute
I am leaving my cam up just in case we hear something LM LM
this lack of night vision is infuriating. On my computer is see solid black. I should be seeing SOMETHING, right?
Santa Ana should be Andy!
NO LYNNE2 we have no night vision at all
LYNNE2 Hope she is ok maybe no time to comment HELLO ANDY we are thinking of you if that was you today for a brief time on the blog saw on the map
So, the cam gets turned off now at dark? Because I KNOW that in the past that we have been able to see to some degree at least a white head in the nest, even without night vision and with a moon.....
Have not been able to keep the cam up on my laptop but just closed down the cam on my iPad. It was over 5 hours running!
Just got back from the grosssssserie store. When I left I saw both in the nest for a while. Hated to leave. Reading through the comments, guess they both poofed.
Jo, I am just hoping hearing aids for Jack will stop my mumbling! LOL
Lolly - at least he will stop saying "WHAT" 50 times a day.
Can't wait to get mine and for hubby to get his........
LYNNE2 the cam is still on as far as I know and they just said we don't have the infra red Last years lightening strike did the damage and they didn't think to check it when they fixed camera they just assumed it was working and its now to late to do anything about it
I don't know why its so BLACK when the moon is out I do remember seeing stuff when we didn't have the infra years ago You can still hear so it has to be on just Black We will never know NOW if you want to you can go up there with a flash light for us LOL
Jo, I'll holler if I hear a fox. They sound so spooky.
is that the FOX
just saw your comment SHIRLEY screaming that is terrible I would not like to live there
I hear sounds right now. Some kind of animal. I'm guessing it's the fox again.
Whoever thinks that the moon is shinning in WV - It isn't.
I just went out and checked my
side of the mountain -
No Moon
It's eerie. Sounds like someone screaming.
DEB S uploaded the video Deb S video of the evening visit and the mating that was superb LOL
She pulled through for me I was so hoping she recorded it
Whoa - let me out of here
Like a child screaming....
You heard it too, Jo?
Can you imagine being out in the dark woods and hearing that?
Think about those poor people that live on the grounds and the kids in the dorms hear it
Watching AI LM for listening mode
TAKE A LOOK AT OUR COVER PICTURE
STEVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE PICTURE
WAS TAKEN BY Debi Chiappini. Most
of Debi's photographs of the Royal
Couple can be seen on the Eagle
Cam site on FB
I'll check that out, Jo.
I'm off to a TV show
BBL
Enjoy your show, Jo.
LITTLE MISS FREYJA WINS THE DAY!
Oh my sweetness...heart melt.
As I said earlier I think PAULA nailed it in regards egg issue or lack there of...
Praying for JACK...
You too JO and Mr. ED.
I have been skiing every day and it is awesome. Saturday I signed up for an Intermediate Ski Clinic, looking forward to some more tips and at the same token am a bit anxious...am I over my head?
Very dark threatening clouds today and the helicopters were out setting off avalanches to make it all safer. A bit eerie to hear the flares which trigger them...I was on the trail far away from where they were and it sounded like very close sonic booms...I checked and they said if our trails were in any danger they would have posted to not go out on the trails...
Long weekend coming up for us this weekend. Family Day...they are just trying to make the back country a bit safer by triggering avalanches before people head out there with their kids...
Laughing so hard...I was asked to go for a photo op as a representative of Friends of Kootenay Lake...they are the young group which test the waters of the lake. I enjoy them so much...the young people are working and are away so they asked me to do it...funny for the way I am because I am not at all formal.Photo Op sounds formal to me!!!
Congratulations to our Hoda on becoming a photo-op star.
We have a family of fox living in our far back yard. Screaming is eerie. Usually a standoff with racoons.
Maybe tonight will be the night Belle will produce an egg. That would be nice.
Restful sleep for all.
I was going to put that question out there Shirley Does anyone on the blog live in a rural area?
Hoda has a new title to add to her many talents. Congratulations. Way to go!
And hear wildlife? Was the rest I forgot to add
One more TV show at 10
Stalker - I never thought I would enjoy the show but I do.
Going to say goodnight and God Bless.
Perhaps tomorrow an egg! I'm betting on it.

First Owlet Hatches in Savannah
Right before darkness on February 3, the female Great Horned Owl arises from the nest bowl and exposes the just-hatched nestling for the first time. The owlet, still wobbly and weak from its prior life inside the shell, totters around the bottom of the nest bowl till the female returns and continues brooding it.
Judy, we definitely have some bloggers who live in urban areas who hear wildlife. Judie hears foxes in her city home. My daughter Susan lives not so far from Judie, and she sees and hears foxes near her apartment. Must be a lot of foxes up in Northern Virginia.
Shooting at a basketball game at a high school in Frederick, MD.
Dear God!!! First I thought so what is the big deal about shooting in a basket ball...they shoot baskets all the time...why would SHIRLEY announce that! Then it dawned on me...mind did a somersault!
So far this has been a very tough year and I am fatigued by all the insanity that is demonstrated.
The Middle East in particular has had such heart wrenching news that I can not fathom. So I go out and ski and connect with the energy of the land...
God Bless us all.
Good Night, Every One...
Every Precious Pal, that is... ! ☺ ♥
God Bless This Nest,
and God Bless Us,
Every One xoxox ☺ ♥
Oh, I see a SPLIT is about to be upon us....
Watch for it and don't get lost ! ♥
(( HUGS 'Plenty ))
Have heard the foxes before...yep sounds eerie !
Evening all!
Heading to Mississippi on Saturday. .coming back Monday...Larry is still down there..we are going to look at 4 places...maybe I'll get to see a Mardi Gras parade and score some beads! Apparently that is a big deal down there. Looking forward to a couple days of warm weather!
