Pacing the floors LOL
Waitin
I thought for sure a egg would be waiting when I got back from camping
Yes!
Soon on the egg I hope.
They are doing all the right things...
Pacing with you Judy.
Welcome back.
Carolina thank you ever so much for your posts.
Had trouble signing in.
Checking box for emails.
Hello all! I, too, thought there would be an egg when I returned home from visiting family in Texas. Don't like to hear that Shep is injured! Have we seen him eating? No issues with flying, I presume? Does anyone know how late in the season we've had eggs? I can't get the cam at work so I don't get to see as much as I'd like to. Off to evening chores. SED and prayers for all in need.
I changed the titles since it must have been blood from a nasty meal
Pic from yesterday and today are all normal yellow beak
Didn't need any unnecessary worrying that he was I injured so pic and title changed
Patti I had issue with cam also was my flash player on chrome just had to add the channel apparently Steve said lots of peeps with issues go in settings/ advance settings.
I thought today but wrong
Trust the eagles
Maybe today. On nest bowl
She was peeping earlier and is high on the bowl I wonder¿?¿¿¿
Poofed no eggbert
Teasing us
Evenin' all! Thanks for the suggestion, JudyE. I do have Chrome at work so maybe that's the problem. Whew, VERY glad Shep isn't injured. And thanks for the nest updates here, too.
We finally got a bit of snow here yesterday. Not much but we'll take what we can get. Our "fire season" is not going to be pleasant this year. Most years, it's pretty bad. But that's with lots of winter snow. With no winter snow to speak of, it's going to a doozy. A teeny bit more snow expected tomorrow night so we shall see.
Off to dinner. SED and prayers for all in need.
She is back on the bowl. Big tease lol
Patti. Did you get your flash player on Google chrome fixed. I can give you step by step if needed Clayton helped me as well as googling it
Both were in the nest again next just poofedm
Hi everyone! JudyE, I looked at the advanced settings today but the only thing that looked close was to add a page upon opening. Is that the correct spot? If it is, I hesitate to do it at work, only because if I'm not there others may use my computer. As long as I get my work done, they don't care if I watch but I'd rather open the page myself (versus auto-open). If it's in a different spot, I'd love the step-by-step. I don't think it's flash because other things with flash run just fine.
Have just about a million things on my to-do list for the weekend but I'll try to check on the camera periodically.
Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
good morning eagle budlets

Howdy everyone! Thanks for the link, JudyE. Hopefully, I won't need an administrator password to follow the steps. Hope you had a glorious day in yesterday's sunshine.
MT nest now.
Later, gators!
Both in the nest, moving the furniture.
Shep, I believe, poofed. Belle still there.
Shep back with a "log".
Both poofed.
Back with another "log".
Both are back, nestorating.
Belle is not happy with this "log". It's longer than the nest is wide!
One has poofed, the other is in the attic. I'm poofing for a while, too.
Both have returned.
Both poofed again.
Sitting here today watching two eagles in the nest. No one is sitting anywhere. One keeps calling out. It sounds like another windy day there. Does anyone know if they are spending the night in the nest; either by seeing them there late at night or early in the am? Hoping we will have eggs and little bobble heads soon.
Three Eastern time and WE HAVE AN EGG!
Sighted by Jerry and Bev!
Way to go Mama Belle!
We have an eggs! Spotted this afternoon around 3:00!
Wahoooooooo!
Hoda! You beat me by a minute! LOL
Lolly,
Very happy we both came here to report an egg!
Blessed this season be, please God!
A fledge for Jo’s sake I hope.
Congrats to all on the first egg of the 2018 season. I was beginning to think it wasn't going to happen. Glad I was wrong!
Me, too, Sandi! WooHoo!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful celebration evening!
Eggbert was alone for about four min. After poofing I heard what sounded like mating. Eggbert two maybe
Good Tuesday morning to all! So glad I checked in this morning to see that Hoda and Lolly has seen our first egg!!!!! We all know that Jo is up there with us, watching over our nest. As Hoda says, hoping for a fledge for Jo's sake! May God shower his blessings on our nest.
Evenin' all! JudyE, I got the cam at work! Yeah! Now if I could just get work to slow down so I could watch more. LOL!
Off to evening chores. SED and prayers for all in need.
Well!
Lots of Drama!
Some say Belle is hurt.
Tonight a fight as another female landed in the nest.
Sat in cup. There was a lot of hullabaloo!
Flying in and out. Some say the intruder also incubated! The eggwas left exposed several times throughout the day.
The last I checked it was dark and two females were on the nest.
Steve is away and is aware of the situation.
They are VERY SHORT STAFFED!
He will check with them and let us know.
A reminder NCTC does not interfere with wild life. They let things unfold on their own.
They will only step in if they locate an injured bird or animal on the ground. Otherwise, rightly so, they let nature take its course.
Keep an eye out and post here when you can.
The camera angle has changed, allowing us a broader view of the area. The nest has been mostly empty this morning. A lone eagle was there for a while and perched on the stump and checked out the view. High winds are forecast for about 24 hours from tonight through Friday night. I guess we just wait and watch nature unfold.
Those on bald eagle 101 thinks it was Shep. The camera man zoomed in and they got a good pic
My delete
Love love the view
For 13 seasons we have all watched the NCTC Eagles, and it has been a wonder to behold. Some years we have seen three fledglings finally leave the nest, and other years have been heartbreaking to observe with new mates, ice storms, broken eggs, and empty nests. The enthusiasm over the webcam has brought together a passionate group of eagle fans who have grown to love the birds and gain a better understanding of their lives. We are privileged to be passive observers of wild nature.
It looks like this year may bring us another chaotic time. Our female has been in this nest for over a decade, and it looks like another eagle pair, or at least another female, is challenging the current pair for the nest territory. Because of this competitive activity, the egg laid the other day is likely no longer viable. My office overlooks the eagle tree, and things look very calm up there right now.
This nest is in a prime location, only a few hundred yards uphill from the Potomac and less than a mile from a dam that ensures an ample supply of fish. It is the perfect location, what eagle would not want it?
Our eagle biologists have told us for some time now that the population of bald eagles in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed is very healthy, and with this success brings great competition for nesting habitat. This is good news, as only 50 years ago the bald eagle was perched on the brink of extinction. The sometimes violent competition we have seen the past week or two is part of natural selection. In healthy ecosystems, this is how nature works, even though it can be cruel to watch.
We here at NCTC will continue to watch the situation, take your reports, and check around the nest tree. As you know, we will not intervene with wild nature, which is what we are witnessing. The only exception will be if we find an injured bird, we will get it veterinary assistance. We have not seen or found any injured eagles so far.
The success of the bald eagle, and all species in nature take many forms. While this display of competition is not easy to watch, we need to keep in mind that this is how nature works. Viewing this behavior before we had webcams and the Internet was only possible through careful research by a few intrepid field biologists.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we move forward. We would not have this community, nor the cam, without the help of all of our friends and partners.
We’ll keep you posted.
Steve Chase USFWS
Thank you, Steve! For the update and for all you and the NCTC team does/has done.
(((HUGS))) to all the momlets and dadlets out there.
Well today Belle and Shep reclaim the nest. The intruder was on the cup! In they come bombarding her. She flees.
Belle lands on the stump. While she is injured in her right talon, it has improved.

You can copy and paste the link to see it.
Belle looked in on the egg and seemed so sad.
Good morning eagleholic
Hope today is a calm day at nest
Are all of you on the eagle momsters private message????
Looks like we can't receive the blog all seem to be happening on the fb
If you aren't on it let one of us on the blog know or on fb
And you can be added
I'm still think of KKAY, MARGIE and JUDIE and JUFIE
I know didn't have fb
Sure miss all of you if you luck
Looks like we can't revive the blog. Not receive it.
What do you mean we can not revive the blog?
I am confused.
The expression writing on the wall comes to mind HODA 51;Comments since Feb 20 7 people commenting
17 patti
17 mine
10 Hoda
3 Lolly
2 candy
1 lynn
1 Sandi
And most of those are just three people
That is why I asked if all was on fb Messenger where over a hundred comments in a day
I don't know if anyone is lurking that would be needed to be added on it since the comments reflect where people want to comment is on there not here. That is what I get from my observation that all!!
Just wanted to make sure à ll gets included if not here there
No offense to anyone just my observation and opinions
Heading to the park to see my eaglet wingersizing
Thank you Judy.
No offence.
Very useful stats.
Thank you for your observations.
JMHO...it does seem most are on fb. Truth be told, with all the "drama" the last few days, I just haven't taken the time to come over to check and/or post. Lazy? Time constraints? Some of both for me. fb does seem a bit easier. I also wonder about Red, as well as Kay, Margie, Jufie and the others. Seems it would be nice for us to check in here periodically to see if they've checked in. I miss Jo's presence in both places. I would certainly post more if there were folks here that aren't on fb. In my mind, you guys are the new admins so ultimately, it's up to you.
I will always be partial to this blog!
And I will always peek in!
And will make new threads when needed! Maybe every couple of months is all that will be needed! Will wait to see what happens with this season¿¿
Two other nest are reporting also intruders
Sure wish this season was normal!
Good morning eagle budlets
Busy morning at nest
Is anyone here? Just missing the blog and Belle and Shep.
I've been fumbling around here trying to remember how to navigate.
For the first time, I'm checking the email followup comments! Now I won't miss a post. Hugs to all.
Nice to see you Lori.
Glad you are active and connecting with the NCTC Nest.
Not many posts here, but we still wanted to be available if any of the old timers reach out.
Hi Lori! Hi Hoda! Just checking in.
Time to eliminate above post!
It must have been deleted. Guess I’m glad I didn’t see it.
Thank you Judy and or Steve for deleting it.
Thank you Judy for telling me how to delete...
