Today I got to meet another Friend of Fine Feather and we enjoyed a DVD from the recent Open House she had attended where these eaglets were hatched. At the end of the video was the website to download into windows media player it is imbd.org. You can download the whole thing if you want to see it all, but it takes almost half and hour on broadband to download. I copied the 3 MOST important moments off of the webcast to share with all of you. I hope you love seeing these moments as much as I did. There is probably about 12 to 15 minutes of these eagles dispersed throughout the webcast, but most was after the live cam came on and we had already seen those times, and none was of the fledge, so I went for the hatches. Enjoy!!!

Still Cam to be on for us to watch in next couple of days

Stay tuned and keep a watchful eye for more info as it becomes available.

I realize many of you will have read this on the BLOG or through Momster mail , but I did think this is a good opportunity for us to see how this automatic email subscription works for BOTH of us, so here is a copy of how the BLOG read just a short while ago!!!!

Hi folks,

Steady now. The cam is back up here at NCTC. We'll be getting the still cam back up on the internet for you to see in the next couple of days, I hope. Video will still be a while.

Smallest of 3 Surviving Eaglets from W. Va weathers violent storm

Spunky's Storm

Youngest of 3 eaglets who have successfully fledged out of W. Va. is caught in violent storm alone in nest. How does he weather the storm?

A shop Glo's Unique Creations 4U has been set up to help raise funds to say Thank You to NCTC this year, and help defray some of the expenses for next years camera project, with the hopes of adding sound. A minimum of $2 from every item purchased will be given to NCTC. You will find several cute unique items for all eagle lovers, as well as some items designed particularly for the Shepherdstown W. Virginia fan. Please check it out and help the eagles.

For 3 eaglets to survive and fledge is miraculous. Capture your own memory of this tremendous event and help the eagles as well.

Below is a picture of the eaglet we think is Spunky the morning after the storm. Parent had made what appeared to be a food drop just prior to this photo.

Spunky the youngest of three eaglets has learned that sometimes he needs to NOT wait until everyone else is full before he can have breakfast. This video shows him getting his meal from Big Brother. I think Spunky is going to make it out there as well as his other two sibling eaglets.

This video is almost 7 minutes long. It will run more smoothly through the second time as it is a very large file and may do some buffering as it loads onto the Blogger site. Go pour yourself a cup of coffeee or something while it loads the first time. Then come back, sit down and enjoy.!!!


Our Parent eagles continue to take wonderful care of their young fledglings. The eaglets are supplied with occasional meals, while they improve their take off and landing skills, mantling and other survival skills.

There is music about 2 minutes into this video.

Great way to start or end anyday. Love these birds. Just so awesome!!!

One eaglet is yet to fledge, the other has only fledged 2 days ago, but has found its way back to the nest. Mom comes in to drop of a fish, and then shows us a beautiful take off.

After two days of learning to fly and gaining heigth and strength an eagle fledgling returns to the nest, where he will continue to grow stronger and become a skilled hunter. You can see fromt he video that he is pretty releived and somewhat exhausted as he kinda flies in. Youngest sibling kinda looks a little overwhe,med by his returning sibling.
