It's truly mind boggling that there is such a huge hue and cry over Nepal adopting a secular Constitution. But more puzzling is the reaction of India to this development. The internal protests in Nepal are understandable but why is India unhappy? The common man is puzzled that a secular country can be such a threat to another secular country. Secularism by definition means that the State shall officially not participate in any rituals of its population. Whether any country follows it to the letter is another matter altogether. India is supposed to be a secular democratic state according to the preamble of the Constitution. But have our Prime Ministers, chief ministers and other people in public life ever maintained the sanctity of the secular definition? In fact the politicians and VIPs like to make a show of their visits to the various shrines, temples and other place of worship. Some of them have been photographed getting touched or rather kicked on the head by the feet of some naked babas sitting on a tree.
That is actually supposed to reestablish their identity with their voters. The only party which honestly tried to maintain an honest record with regard to their adherence to the secular fabric was the Communist Party. But their shrinking base even in states where they have traditionally been strong, Kerala and West Bengal, proves that being honestly secular has its own pitfalls especially in a country like India. But I was talking of Nepal. True, Nepal has the largest population of Hindus in the world followed by Mauritius. Till some time back it was the only country which had officially declared Hinduism as its religion. But if an independent and sovereign country like Nepal wants to adopt a secular constitution does India have a right to show its annoyance as it is doing today?
I remember when Atal Behari Vajpayee was the foreign minister of the country he won over the hearts of Nepal's people by telling them that his visit to Nepal was "like a pilgrimage."But rhetoric is one thing and officially summoning India's envoy and expressing its concern over Nepal going secular is not done. It is embarrassing to swear by the India's secular preamble and protesting that a neighbouring country has gone secular as the Modi government is doing. And it will also go strongly against the policy of non-interference in the affairs of a friendly country even if it a tiny country like Nepal. Coming in the wake of the action of the present regime of Nepal of sending back relief teams from India when they went there to offer help in the aftermath of the recent earthquake it seems India has not yet learnt its lesson.

A year or so back we implemented a curriculum program that was web-based - for a single teacher for a single subject for a single grade level.
The administrator at that time didn't want to buy the product - but did because then the noise level went down.
I didn't want to give her Admin access - but did - because the Administrator invovled assured she she was an expert in the product and could handle it "and what could it hurt".
We implemented a trial version of the product this week for ALL of the teachers.
That's when I discovered she'd changed my Admin account (to her name with her email address aas confirmation). Got that resolved and set up the rest of the teachers. Thought all was well until today.
Found out that the "Expert" had used the Admin account (known activity) to set up her classroom teacher students assigments and assigned them - to the Admin account.
All resolved now, and the program itself is an excellent one, but each time someone who has no clue what an Admin account is gets access to one (over my objections) it comes back to bite me - and everyone else.

Oh dear! It's certainly true that the most annoying and insistent employees sometinmes get their line managers so depserate to shut them up that stuff like this happens. I know how you feel mate! Chin up, and have a Friday beer or two later.

Problem is, most folks don't want to be seen as a bad guy so they roll over. My favorite line, "Which part of NO don't you understand". And then I watch them like a hawk!

That is one of the bad parts of IT, being forced to do something you know is wrong. All you can do is make your best argument against it and when you are over ruled just document it so you can say "i told you so" when it comes back to bite the company.

People don't understand why we don't give them admin rights. For reasons like above and others. Plus the implementing of the right way may take a lot of time up front but will pay off in the end. They all want it all but are never willing to learn how to actually use what they want. All they know is they want it.

In my environment, it helps if I throw in a "... the Best Practices dictate...." and include a rudimentary reason. They've no clue what "Best Practices" means, but it typically causes them to throttle back a bit. (And it makes it less personal - less like it's you just saying "No.")
And if that doesn't work, I document it for the obligatory CYA...

When I was at IBM, we supported a national account and had to prove (repeatedly) why we needed Domain Admin level accounts to support their environment. I had no problem doing that and it also taught me to tell people no when they wanted the same from us after we took it over. With great power comes great responsibility - some people can handle it and some can't. Sadly, we get to pick up the pieces when they can't. Glad to hear you got it all cleaned up in the end...

Chocolatier counts cost of Brexit on ingredients
FIRST it was Marmite then it was wine and now Jersey chocolate is the latest victim of Brexit price increases.
A combination of the weak pound and an increase in the price of a number of commodities has led to a rise in the price of the sweet treat.
One chocolate producer in St Mary, which makes about ten tonnes of chocolate every year, said that the price of their ingredients was due to increase in the new year and that they would be buying as much chocolate as they could afford in the meantime.
Darren Stower, chocolatier at La Mare Wine Estate, said that the business had already experienced an unexpected increase in costs immediately after the UK voted to leave the European Union.

Comments for: "Chocolatier counts cost of Brexit on ingredients"
It is severely overpriced already. Much of this places goods are over very priced in comparison to others. This is just another ploy to inflate their prices even more for Christmas. Also, come New Year, one needs to remember that when a business advertises a sale its usually selling all the stock it has not sold through the year and although the goods may be ten percent cheaper, the company is still making big profit and not selling goods cheap as they claim. The sale will be cost price plus twenty percent instead of fifty percent profit. I am not as gullible as others to think I am getting a bargain ever, let alone believe inflated costs are due to Brexit. Jersey has little to do with Brexit and until it happens in two years, it is not an excuse for businesses to scam us even more.
For much of 2014 the Euro stood at €1.15 to £1. What's it today €1.18 to £1 ? Between then and now it has been as high as €1.43 to the £1. What-ever currency is the strongest you direct your sales to that those countries dealing in the said currency. There is no language barrier in eating a chocolate so when having the choice of two markets you have an advantage not a disadvantage.
It's all a con. Just don't buy the stuff.
Much cheaper, more convenient and better choice on Amazon.

|557 m²
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
This 18 century colonial home was lovingly restored and is located in the historic center of San Miguel de Allende. This home is over 6000 square feet of construction and is built around a beautifully landscaped central courtyard with stone fountain and queen palms. The walls are two feet thick in places and most all the bedrooms, living, dining rooms, kitchen and office are all located on the first floor. There is a beautiful bedroom and terraces upstairs with views of the churches and Parroquia that light up at night. There is a maid, cook, gardener and house manager to make your vacation a memorable and unique experience. The home is full of unique architectural details. Each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom. The beds all have high thread count sheets, pillows and down comforters. The home has lovely hand made colonial style furniture and houses a beautiful art collection of paintings, sculpture, and photography of the owners. This home was featured in the latest book on San Miguel de Allende. San Miguel de Allende Hospitality.
The owner has designed and built homes in Tucson Arizona. He fell in love with San Miguel on a visit in 1996 where he now lives in the countryside with his family.
Jed Paradies purchased this house in 2004
We have been coming to San Miguel since 1996 and have made this lovely town our home.
Experience this beautiful historic home with family or friends. There's plenty of spaces for privacy and many areas to enjoy as a group. Step out into the cobblestone streets of San Miguel and discover why it was named the number#1 destination in the world in 2013 by Conde Nast Traveler.
Rosie and Carina are great!
Perfect, just like it was advertised!!
Colonial elegance. Helpful staff. Nicely furnished. Convenient location. A beautiful oasis right in the heart of the center.
The name of this wonderful home is Paraiso - that means Paradise - and for my husband and me and 5 weeks of our travel friends, that pretty much sums it up!
We booked the home for our 4th visit to SMA since 2004. It was the best Casa of all the home stays we have had there, and among the best anywhere we have been, including France & Italy. Here are some reasons why this home works so well - there are:
- clean, spacious, well-furnished bedrooms and baths giving every bedroom and bath a level of comfort and privacy that is unusual for multi-bedroomed homes; each bedroom has its own TV with many cable choices, including major US stations; lots of drawer and closet space too. 4 bedrooms are on the first level; the 5th is upstairs, a "penthouse" with large furnished patio adjacent.
- lovely public spaces that are comfortable for 10 persons to enjoy together - or in smaller groups. Some are indoors, some outside in the covered part of the courtyard or rooftop patios, so there's always a place to curl up and read or gather and visit;
- a large kitchen, the domain of cook Rosario and Karina (the housekeeper who also helps Rosario prepare wonderful food). That's breakfast 6 days a week plus any add'l meals or treats you may desire. If you want to cook, this kitchen is well-equipped from its major professional stove to the pots, pans and appliances.
- a fireplace in most rooms. This is wonderful for cool nights (we were there in winter, when SMA can be chilly) - the bedrooms and living room have gas logs; the dining room has a large, wood-burning fireplace that provides a great ambience as well as warmth
- a management staff off-site that is responsive to any problem, not "mañana" - that very day!
- a location in flat part of Centro that is convenient to everywhere, usually no more than 5-10 minutes walk. No need for a car, and if you need a taxi to go further or up the hills, the taxi stand is just down the street;
We plan to return to Casa Paraiso - it's wonderful.
Our family of 10 - from grandmas to grankids-spent the Christmas holiday In this beautiful property. The place is a short walk to any great restaurants. The house's bedrooms were super comfortable and clean. Perfectly warm at night. The service from the ladies, the maid and the cook was amazing. They made us some delicious breakfast every day and even helped us to get ready for our Christmas celebration. Beautiful terrace on top. I'd highly recommend to stay at this house, all you see in the pics is pretty to how it looks!
We spent a magical week at the gorgeous home. Perfectly located for walking to everything. Comfortable, gracious, roomy and updated. Everyone in my multi-generational group of 10 was able to find their own favorite space. Staff was pleasant and food was amazing. Highly recommended for large groups who want to be close to the Jardin but still have a refuge behind thick walls.
This fabulous 18 century colonial home is located in the historic center of San Miguel de Allende. The artisan market is around the corner. The central square (Jardin) and Parroquia are two blocks away. A fine spanish language school is across the street. Plaza Civica, churches, restaurants, bars and all of historic San Miguel are all within a few minutes walk.

British Prime Minister David Cameron's office confirmed June 11 that he accidentally left his 8-year-old daughter Nancy in a country pub after a family Sunday lunch.
The incident sparked a debate in Britain about Cameron's parenting and comes only a few weeks after the government set up a program to give parents of young children classes in how to raise them. The incident also highlighted a sharp contrast with the United States, where it is nearly inconceivable that a similar mistake would have been made with one of President Barack Obama's daughters.
On the popular British parenting website Mumsnet, some people said the mistake was "easily done" while others wondered why the Camerons had not kept a closer watch on their young daughter.

. It would surely be understandable if revenues were dropping.
I'll buy revenues increasing, profits not so much as there is no proof of increased profitability. And, danishh made a good case for profitability peaking and sliding down hill since the last CBA.

I seriously doubt that more than a couple of players have seen the owners books and I doubt whether any player has seen all of them. Both the HRR reports and the 76k pages. That's work for financial professionals
From the rhetoric it is certain that part of ownership issues lie with the weak sisters. Fehr offering Bettman a $100mil rev share pool for his personal account to distribute certainly indicates that he is well aware that there are problems outside of the current system of sharing.
If you want an alternative that I haven't seen proposed, it is to remove the current escrow system. I am sure part of Fehr's agenda is to remove or mitigate it. There have been individual complaints from players every year about escrow. I am sure that it grates on them. An alternative would be to make contracts whole each year but to adjust the subsequent year's cap for the overage. An effect would be to make the owners wait one year to pull even with percentages, taking risks one year at a time. Another hit would be a one time hit to the players when it was enacted to suppress the value of new contracts and extensions. Neither side has proposed this solution.

What could an owner possibly say that warrants him not being allowed to talk about the team/business he paid hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire (or currently valued as such)?
I would believe that part of the reason for the owner gag is to prevent league liability during a labor negotiation. It would not surprise me if many owners had no experience with collective bargaining where labor law is a bit more stringent. That is not to say that this is the only reason for the gag as Devellano's words definitely merited censure.

2012 Bald Eagle Nesting Season, several nests
December 24, 2011 by Reese Lukei
2012 EAGLE NESTING SEASON begins at Norfolk Botanical Garden, NBG VIRGINIA
Page 3, 4 I added the Richmond and Decorah nests also
September 24, 2011 Saturday
NBG photographer saw 'Dad' in the 2008 nest tree
Some other photogs also think they have seen Dad with another eagle the past couple weeks.
I suspect Dad will
build in the 2011 nest. MOST likely because it needs a year to become free of parasites.
2012 NESTING SEASON may soon begin at Norfolk Botanical Garden ( NBG ) VIRGINIA
American Bald Eagle Nesting
Some eagles do not breed every year.
Bald eagles are capable of breeding annually from the age of 4, but some of the adults, though paired, seem to choose not to breed.
It might be an instinctive decision, based on the weather, availability of nesting sites, or food.
Pairs of bald eagles have been seen whirling through the air with talons locked together.
This could be a form of courtship or a ritualized battle between an intruding eagle and one defending its territory.
Whichever it is, eagles do not actually copulate in the air. Copulation usually takes place on a branch near the nest or on the ground.
From the time the parents build the nest and the young are on their own, takes about 20 weeks.
During the nesting cycle the parents remain within one to two miles of the nest.
ShutterBug Bob is an excellent photographer at NBG and a very nice man. He gave me one of his photos for my thread on Tracking Nixy.
Sept. 10, 2011 Bob took photo of 'Dad'

I enjoy their critter cam and blog. Ed Clark runs the center.

These gardens in Norfolk Virginia are beautiful
September 25, 2011 Sunday - Photographers are everywhere at NBG today.
The NBG male is showing interest in the 2009/2010 nest.
That is the first nest they built at the Garden and have used it each year except 2008 and last year.
The 2010 nest is not in good repair. The male hangs out on that nest tree at times.
Whether that one is actually used this year remains to be seen. All 3 nests are close together though.
The WVEC live cam will be set up once they know which nest the pair will use.
Eagles at Norfolk Botanical Garden - Exciting News!
September 29, 2011 Thursday
2 eagles were seen together at the 2011 nest this morning.
One was actually sitting in the nest, the other was perched on a branch nearby.
In the photos it appears both are in the nest together.

Male bald eagles faithful to ONE mate
Eagles and humans both exhibit bad behavior
Dr. Mitchell A. Byrd, retired Chancellor Professor of Biology
RTD Correspondent Ron Melancon compares feeding the eagle chicks shown on the eagle cam with the government food stamp program,
suggesting both promote dependency. One is free to make his own assessments of the federal food stamp program,
but his facts regarding the eagles are incorrect.
The Center for Conservation Biology placed numerous cameras around eagle nests as part of various scientific studies.
We felt that it was reasonable to use one of the cameras to allow the public to learn something about the eagles.
We were fortunate to be able to partner with The Times-Dispatch to bring this to fruition.
The fact that a million and a half people viewed the site would suggest this goal was achieved.
Unfortunately and inexplicably, the two adults abandoned the nest.
After 2 days biologists decided that supplemental feeding was required.
They were fed twice before the adults returned.
If one really wants to make comparisons between eagle behavior and human behavior, there are many parallels.
We have observed fratricide, cannibalism, starvation and nest abandonment, all traits in our human societies.
We know of at least one case where a male eagle had a female at each of two nests at which
he was providing all the services required to promote successful reproductive activity.
This sounds remarkably akin to bigamy in humans. (Does that make the NBG male a trigamist - with 3 females?)
The public has long viewed eagles as well as most pairs of other birds, turkeys and others being exceptions,
as being monogamous and altruistic in their behavior. Nothing could be further from the truth.
DNA studies of young in nests and the attendant male of the pair have shown that in some cases as many as
80% of the young do not belong to the male of the pair at the nest
EAGLE NATION is all a-twitter over 'Dad Norfolk' finding a new mate, a big mama.
October 4, 2011
Thanks to Joe Foreman at Norfolk Botanical Garden we have the first photos of two adult bald eagles sitting together Sept 29, 2011
They are perched in a tree at what is referred to as the dump.
In the first photo the male is already sitting in the tree and the female is flying in about to land beside him.
Shortly after these photos were taken both eagles flew off and were next seen by Scott at the 2011 season nest tree with one of the eagles in the nest.
This seems to confirm several sightings over the past two weeks by several others that the NBG male had found a girl friend.
These photos are also posted by Joe Foreman at

eagle pair seen at Norfolk Botanical Garden
03 Dec 2011
They have been re-arranging the nest .. doing nestorations.
This is the Norfolk Botanical Gardens 2012 nesting pair
The male took a new mate after his mate was killed last year.
Took photo from Reese blog. I had emailed him for permission twice with no reply. Hopefully his blog link will suffice for the OK!
He is such a sweet gentle man I cant imagine him refusing me displaying his beautiful eagles!
NBG Eagle Pair First Observed Mating
January 9, 2012
The NBG pair were observed mating.
The male's mate he took in the fall of 2011 was evidently killed by an electric powerline running thru NBG, so this is another female. She is about age 5.
Effective mating takes place about 4 to 10 days before an egg is laid.
Each egg is laid about 3 days apart. Incubation starts with the laying of the first egg.
January 22, 2012 Sunday
This morning WVEC began letting the public view the nest.
At first it was empty. About 10.30 am they both showed up.
It is very exciting!
has happened since my last post.

3.00 am She perched outside nest all night for the first time. Is she in labor?
The female roosted on a branch near nest last nite for the first time.
Jan. 30th late evening the WVEC blog mods said she'd visited the nest after roosting Jan. 30th,
now before dawn today she is on branch near nest right smack dab in front of the cameria!
WHAT a SHOWOFF!
3.30 am WVEC BLOG - the female eagle is lying down again, but NOT sleeping . . .

6.38 am Female - then Male fly into nest and begin nuzzling at the nest bowl grass
Then she laid down in nest and male flew to very near branch.
6.51 am - Well nuts .. I waited for the color to take another screen shot, but the moment the cam switched to color, both left!

7.21 am The nest looks so fresh and clean after the rain!
It just begs for eggs! The bowl grass would be too cold after the rain for her to lay eggs until the warm sun dried it out
7:35 am - the eagles have landed
7.37 he left
7.38 am - and then there was one
7.41 she left
7.45 she (he) came back, examined nest ..
8.33 he is still there
OK I thought this was the female - the WVEC blog is saying its the MALE
Some of the questions on the WVEC blog drive me batty .. but .. a year ago they were my questions! So ....

Dad has 2 females!?
February 3, 2012
The nest was empty all afteroon, then and eagle showed up and began vocalizing on the branch.
Then the male and female were in the nest.
Now there is doubt it was the same female.
Photos from this morning and this evening.
Per Reese Lukei
This is not the female the male has been with for the past few weeks (the one with the dark tip on the tail and dark feathers on the head).
Reese is going to look carefully at the screen captures he just took and the previous captures he took to compare.
However, he thinks there is a possibility that this is the female he was seen earlier with in the season.
He also thinks the other female may have tried to approach the nest (this is just a guess - as no one saw it) which is why we saw the vocalizations.
As soon as he has more information he will let us know.
The male was the one in the submissive posture - which is normal.
The females are the more dominant.
Left - January 31 female ... Right - February 2 female

Notes pulled from overnight WVEC blog. Who says nature is boring?
Apparantly Dad has 3 wives!
Reese Lukei's findings
Eagle #1 would be the Fall Eagle (She had bright orange feet, beak, seen up to the first week of January )
Eagle #2 is January 8-19 female
Eagle #3 is most recent Dirty Tail (age 4yrs 10mo)
WHO's WHOoooooooo??
Do YOU want to guess which female is which?

9:52pm Feb. 3 WVEC - Rhoda
Ive put together some video for comparison.
After going back and looking I think that the female with the dirty tail wasnt there on Jan. 30
but the one that is there tonight has been there for several days. Judge for yourself, heres the link
11:26 MVK: Looks like we have an owl in the nest now.
Great horned owls are a danger to the eaglets and eggs. They are a predator to just about anything their size or smaller
As if 'Dad has 3 mates' isnt exciting enough, the late evening of February 3,
a mouse and an owl visited the nest - with one of the 4 eagles of this nest roosting in a branch next to the nest!
And a cute squirrel has her home in the lower part of the nest.

Shoebutton WVEC blog
I believe we are looking at female 2 from before January 20th but after December
1:58 pm WVEC Congowings
Reese Lukei (CCB) states:
After reviewing photos from the past few days I have determined that female #2 was in the NBG nest with the male on February 2.
Photos taken on February 1 are inconclusive.
I took no photos of a female at the nest on January 31.
Female #3 was in the nest on January 30.
3.00 pm WVEC Congowings
Jim Deal - one of the photographers was at the Garden today said the male was in the 'lumber yard' this morning a little after 8am.
Then he flew to the 2004 nest tree and perched on the 'love branch'. Later the female (#2) joined him on the branch - about five feet away.
She was vocalizing for quite a while, but he didn't seem too bothered. She flew off eventually and about 30 minutes ago the male took off too.
He said there were 3 adult eagles flying overhead today - so quite a bit of activity.
3.11 / 15.11 pm both eagles just flew into nest, one left right away
3.18 / 15.18 both gone
Feb 4 evening
5.30 pm 17.30 eagle arrives, cam switched to nite black n white before I could get the screen shot
Eagle flew to love branch and began singing or shouting, I cant tell which.
Eagle hopping from branch to branch
Sometime late evening WVEC eaglecam went offline all night
CONCLUSIONS Feb. 4 .. continued
Female #1 was the one in the Fall eagle with very orange feet and beak,
#2 was the large female with a faded orange beak,
#3 was the one with the dark feathers on her head and tail.
#2 is the one the male has been seen with the last couple of days.
We do not know where #3 is at this time.
3.30 pm Mike I heard that DT (#3) was seen flying high at the gardens today
NL (#2) scolds male- with captions - LOL!

Heres link to this mornings activities. I think it was the female that left first not the male.
5:45 pm - late afternoon 17.45
Feb 6
She (current female 2) does seem to be more assertive - which is needed when defending the territory.
The previous mate was very assertive. The male needs an agressive female in order to defend his territory successfully.
While they both defended the territory, it was his previous mate that escorted most away.
Some are upset with the female that has been pushing her weight around -
but that is exactly the type of mate that is needed
Sunday I saw a dark brown blob in the nest
. Today I have a theory about that.
It was rainy so the nest was wet. There was plenty of eagle activity which disrupted the nest,
churning the material so the dark was shadow, a hole.

Norfolk male eagle having no problem attracting mates
February 7, 2012 Tuesday by Pete McElveen, WVEC.com
The mating habits of Norfolk famous eagle are raising some eyebrows among wildlife experts.
Bald eagles are known for mating for life, but the resident male eagle at Norfolk Botanical Garden has been observed mating with 3 or 4 different female eagles this season.
One local expert says this behavior has never been as well documented as it has been at the Norfolk nest, thanks to a webcam which captures images of the eagle nest 24 hours a day.
CCB researcher Reese Lukei said
It is possible that the new fall mate of the male eagle was killed in January, when a dead adult female eagle was found near power lines at NBG.
Reese thinks the uncharacteristic behavior of the male is likely due to an abundance of adult bald eagles in the area.
Lake Whitehurst, adjacent to Norfolk Botanical Garden, is prime eagle territory because it is well stocked with fish.

When the male left the nest about 12:30 pm, he flew over to the old love branch in the 2004 nest tree.
The female quickly joined him and they wasted no time in mating. He flew off and she sat in the tree for about half an hour.
Later we caught sight of them through the trees over the friendship pond area and could hear them vocalizing
and realized there was a third adult eagle flying up there also. Seemed to be escorting one from the area.

Ground reports from people at NBG
Female was seen escorting a juvie Eagle out front around 7:30 am and she did some fly-bys of the nest but never landed.
male flew into the 2004 nest tree about 9:10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
A juvenile flew over and the male didn't move.
There was also an adult flying above but too high to distinguish who it was.
0327 WVEC blog Comment - no sign of the female, but the male is sitting on his favorite branch just out of site of the cam

3.30 WVEC shoebutton - What you are seeing is the remains of the prey the female brought to the nest yesterday afternoon.
When she left, it could still be seen in the nest. I believe NBG said he thought it was a small mammal.

juvie sat in nest from 1739 til 1802
All the male did was arrive at a branch near the nest - lower left - and juvie dove outta there.

This evening a juvenile (around 2 years old) flew into the nest around 5:36pm (est).
They appeared to be a female and proceeded to move some of the nesting material around.
The NBG resident male flew into the nest chasing off the visiting juvenile around 6:01pm (est).
Female #3 returned to the nest at 6:06pm (est). They spent some time on the nest and then left.
WVEC blog Comment From the Garden Feb. 13
We saw 4 adult eagles; I think Dad was chasing away 2 other eagles while #3 mom (DT) was guarding the nest.
She stayed there a very long time sitting on a branch.

she stayed on branch late into the night.
Today the photographer shelly led several others in a nasty attack on me in the eagle chatroom.
Sadly even one who works at her church sided with her friends.
I strongly advise you avoid all shelly's photography.
If she will lie to me and about me and lead others in an unprovoked, unjust attack on me, she isnt likely to be fair elsewhere either.

(regarding the NBG 2012 nesting season)
This is not what we consider normal, but this likely happens more than we know.
What we have been seeing at the NBG nest is as a result of the increase in the eagle population, and we are likely to see more of it in the future
1700 - 5.00pm female still on nest branch. She sat there in the rain most of the afternoon and all evening til after dark.

Eagle newly hatched chick killed by intruder
February 26, 2012
When I viewed the video it appears one chick was killed and she is brooding the other.
Whether or not it will live, unknown. Cam taken offline
FINAL POST Feb 26
Our ranger - who can see the live cam feed - relayed the following news:
"As of 3:30 pm, the remaining chick was still alive. Parent was not on the nest at the time but soon returned.
At 4:10 pm, I glanced at the TV and finally saw both parents on the nest.
Male appeared to be sitting, and female chowing down on something.
Did not see chick get fed, though.
I reviewed a couple hours of the tape from this morning and never saw a visit from the other parent."
The other chick does appear to be dead and is slowly getting buried in the nest material.
Sometimes eagle parents remove the body and sometimes they let it get buried in the deep nest.
Feb 27
We lost both chicks to what appeared to be an eagle intruder
Feb 28
Craig Koppie of the US Fish & Wildlife Service has removed the eaglets for examination. We'll report more on that soon.
(I assume he means the dead chicks)
I inserted the above Blackwater story for information. It has nothing to do with the Norfolk nest.
Nature is cruel and webcams show the reality of nature.

March 5, 2012 Monday - FEMALE #3 (DT)
WHERE IS MY EGG!!?? I work and build a great nest, gimme an egg!
The cam was down before dawn, but evidently both eagles returned last nite after dark.
They were both gone by the time the cam came back.
Male in and out with lumber.
The female clearly has a head / face / beek injury, blog mod claims its food / dirt.
Yesterday she really looked like she had a blackeye. I dont believe its food - but I can be wrong.
She has been gone all day. She has been seen LESS at the nest the last 2 days.
Pure speculation if she may have been in a fight with another eagle, possibly male's #2 female.
LOOK at her photos and decide
March 5, 2012 Monday
There were no eagles in the nest end of the day.
The WVEC blog posted the female came around midnite for a brief visit.
The male slept in his nest til 6 am Tuesday then flew away

INTRUDER - Chapter 4 in the NBG nesting season!
As of noon March 9 we DO NOT KNOW where DT, female #3 is.
The intruder becomes male's 4th female on March 11 at dawn
Photographer Mike Inman is at NBG and did not see DT female.
No one has reported seeing the female we have called DT #3 today or yesterday after dawn
In fact female 3 is actually female 4 and now a female #5 wants the NBG male.
The rumor is that Lady3 and Lady4 fought and Lady3 left NBG
March 9 Friday morning
Reese Lukei
finally posted his conclusion on WVEC blog
Reese: I believe the female that was on the branch this morning is the intruder eagle.
She has a much more yellow beak, a much wider spot of dark feathers in top of her head.
What little we could see of the tail showed just a couple black spots which is what photos from Cary Lynch and Mike Inman show.
Female #3 has a much darker tail. Conclusion intruder eagle. Also helps to explain why she did not go into the nest.
Duane has posted a photo of the intruder eagle with couple black spots in tail. Norfolk eagles forum
You are extraordinaly fortunate to be able to observe something that is very, very rare -
the possible replacement by yet a fourth 5 year old female at the NBG nest.
NO ONE has ever seen this happen before.
The moderators and I are trying our very best to provide you with accurate information and data about what you are seeing.
No guesses or rumor but FACTS. No one of us knows just what is going to happen next. Stay tuned.
ground report
11.00 am male just seen flying over NBG with another adult eagle
The previous (2011) female has not been included the count.
The eagles that have been seen with the male since fall have been numbered - in order to make sense when posting observations.
Let me post a link to a video that will help clear things up - until now -
there is a new chapter being written now and another eagle has entered the mix
The 2011 female was killed by a plane. see Epitaph for an eagle

Late morning male brought a green pine bough to nest.
Much of the day the male just perched on the near side of his nest and looked lonely.
Twice he laid down briefly. He did bring back a fish and eat it.
late afternoon DT female #3 still not spotted by anyone
Around 4.30 pm the male came to the nest - and right away the intruder tried to enter the nest but he chased her out
Whether or not DT is gone and whether or not there will be an NBG egg in 2012 we dont know

A pair of bald eagles arrived at Norfolk Botanical Garden in late fall 2003 to build a nest. Below is a summary of the previous nesting seasons.
Eagles April 14, 2012 Notes
Richmond eaglecam was not working for days, techs tried to fix it, causing the eagle parents NOT to return to the nest to feed their chicks.
April 13 a CCB biologist and a wildlife vet went to the nest. The biologist climbed the tree, removed the eagles for hydration and feeding.
Richmond chicks fed by biologist who climbed nest tree. They were observed self feeding. They ate all they fish left on the nest.
Dr. Watts April 14
The adult eagles are still perched in the trees nearby the nest. They have defended the nest against any intruders and obviously their instincts are still intact.
Chicks were assessed by the vet and are totally healthy. Dr. Watts has decided to eliminate any distractions from the adults,
so he is going back up tonight to take down the camera and the chicks will be fed again.
He wants to give these chicks every opportunity to be raised by their parents.

Eagle Cam comes to end; chicks being fed by hand April 14
The Richmond Eagle Cam came to an abrupt end Saturday as scientists dismantled the equipment to eliminate any distraction that might be keeping the parent birds from feeding their chicks.
The crisis erupted Friday when the parent birds didnt return to the nest to feed their two chicks.
Experts fed the chicks by hand Friday night and late Saturday afternoon. The plan now is to keep the area around the nest quiet so that the parents resume feeding the chicks.
Bryan Watts hopes that these birds will now come back.
If not, Watts plans to put the chicks in the nest of other eagles along the James River. Eagles will care for chicks that aren't theirs. The chicks could be moved as soon as today.
Parent birds soared and cackled above the nest as cam people took cam down.
They are still responding.
Dave McRuer
gave chix fluids through a tube placed just under the skin.
Birds snapped up the chopped fish offered with a forceps.
It's unclear why Virginia and James aren't feeding the chicks. The adults haven't abandoned the nest, because they continue to fly and perch nearby.
It's possible that workers on the ground trying to repair the Eagle Cam spooked the birds last week.
Watts said the parents behavior was mystifying. Watts was proud of the way the Eagle Cam brought nature to the public but was clearly distressed about how the project ended.
UPDATE April 15, 2012
Virginia and James (Richmond eagle parents) continue to show interest in their nest, giving scientists hope that the birds will soon resume feeding their two chicks.
If the parents do not resume the feedings soon, eagle expert Bryan Watts plans to put the chicks in other nests along the James River.
Eagles will care for chicks that are not theirs.
They will NOT remove the chicks today, giving the parents at least another day to return to the nest.
James perched near the nest this morning, and Virginia continues to fly nearby.
We can't justify pulling the chicks as long as they are showing interest of this sort.
Eagle chicks may be moved to other nests

Eagle nest cam, Eggs on Channel Island Cameras
Watch live video below of the eagle nests on Santa Catalina and Santa Cruz islands
Apr 16, 2012 By Jonathan Lloyd
Viewers can watch nest cams positioned at the West End and Two Harbors nests on Santa Catalina Island.
7 chicks have hatched at four eaglecam nests this season.
At the West End, matriarch Wray, age 26, and her mate K01 had their first egg Feb. 18.
One of Wray's daughters, K82, and her mate K81 produced an egg at the Two Harbors nest.
On March 2, eagles A27 and A40, of the Sauces Canyon nest on Santa Cruz Island, laid their first of two eggs.
K10 and K26 on the Pelican Harbor cam on Santa Cruz Island had their egg March 6. A nestcam viewer from Canada posted this video of the hatching.

Wood Ducks Visit NBG Eagle Nest April 28 by Reese Lukei
A beautiful pair of Wood Ducks paid a brief visit to the Bald Eagle nest at Norfolk Botanical Garden. Wood Ducks breed in this region and are likely looking for a place to raise a family. They usually build their nest in a cavity or specially placed wood duck box in a swampy area. They sometimes raise two broods in a season of 10 to 14 chicks. Incubation 27 to 30 days. All the chicks in a brood fledge at the same time. Here are four eagle cam photos from this morning and a video taken from the web cam by 33Jorgey.

Mom remains asleep with head tucked.
But as the raccoon skittles back down the tree it makes a noise that wakes up Mom, at 1:47. D14 falls asleep at 2:02, D14 and

Eaglet Growth - The young birds grow rapidly, they add one pound to their body weight every 4 or 5 days.
At about two weeks, it is possible for them to hold their head up for feeding.
3 weeks they are 1 foot high and their feet and beaks are very nearly adult size.
4/5 weeks they can to stand, and begin tearing up their own food.
6 weeks, the eaglets are very nearly as large as their parents.
8 weeks, the appetites of the young birds are at their greatest.
While parents hunt almost continuous to feed them, back at the nest the eaglets are
beginning to stretch their wings in response to gusts of wind and may even be lifted off their feet for short periods.
3/4 weeks eaglet is covered in its secondary coat of gray down.
In another two weeks or so, black juvenile feathers will begin to grow in.
While downy feathers are excellent insulators, they are useless as air foils, and must be replaced with juvenile feathers before an eaglet can take its first flight, some 10 to 13 weeks after hatching.
Eagles of the World
Jungle Eagle
Pastor CJ,
I hope you wouldn't mind me posting here and sharing the blessing the Lord gave us with the flock of eagles in our area. This year I'm counting as many as seven juvinile bald eagles that circle overhead almost daily. I try to zoom in with my binoculars to identify their features, they still have their dark heads but are getting the yellow beaks. I think I eliminated that they are golden eagles, red tale hawks or turkey buzzards. I have seen many hawks and buzzards and can easily identify them. I have researched online the golden eagle and what I see don't have the dark beaks and the lighter golden feathers.
February 2nd of this year, my wife and I were driving about seven miles northwest of our place out in farm land, when my wife hollered to stop the van. Out in the middle of a harvested field was a large dead carcus with an adult bald eagle standing on top of it. I really regretted not having my camera but we enjoyed the few moments of getting to see it.
Today was a really nice day and we had our doors and windows open around lunch time, as we were sitting at the table, we heard a loud screach and it sent chills down my spine. It was the neatest eagle sound I heard in a long time, I hope they stay in the area for a long time.
I am pleased you posted here! I like ALL your posts! Wish you'd post more!
A loud screech would be the hawk. Eagles chuckle or squawk.
I find so many of the eagle people tend to be anti-Christian.
I googled the sound tracks both of the hawk screech and an eagles cry. I'm 100% positive what I heard was the eagle cry.
Red-tailed hawk screaming
Ed Clark of the Wildlife animal hospital said hollywood 'eagle' screams are actually the scream of a hawk.
You heard a hawk!

There was a rescue today of Harmon, an eagle chick near Hutchinson Minnesota
This eaglet was trapped in the nest and rescued.
The bird was covered in maggots and feces.
When man stood eaglet up on its feet, he fell over. equilibrium problem.
The eaglet was taken to a rehab facility and plans are to return it to the nest after a check-up.
I may have heard a hawk this time but I have seen a lot of red tail hawks the last dozen years and they look just like the picture. The birds I have been seeing do not look like the hawks I seen over the years. I'm pretty sure these are the juvenile bald eagles. When I was watching them, they were not making any noise. I only heard the screech when I was sitting indoors and didn't see what it was. I'm 100% sure I saw the adult bald eagle in the field on the carcass with it's bright white head. The seven I see flying around my house are not hawks because they are dark end to end with the yellow beaks. They are larger than the hawks and they don't have the lighter feathers and the darker beaks of a golden eagle. I'm going to try to get some pictures when they get close enough.
They look just like this!
This is the juvie NX. The flying eagle in your video is a juvie eagle.
On these links are photos by professionals of juvies of various ages under 5
I have seen these eagles with various stages of beak color, I seen a couple with the yellow beaks and the others with the darker beaks. I seen them circle individually and groups up to seven. When they circle overhead, the whole circle drifts off from east to west. I think they cover a large area because some days I don't notice them or I just wasn't looking when they went by. I'm going to keep my eyes open today for them when I'm out mowing.

Harmon Goes Home
Sunday, May 6, 2012 late afternoon
Dr. Ponder at the Raptor Center gave Harmon his check-up and found him in much better condition than expected.
Several quick phone calls and we were back on our way to return Harmon to his nest.
It wasn't a simple task, but we were able to safely returned him back to his perch, 75 feet in the air. Now its a waiting game to see if the parents return.
May 7, 2012
Monday about 7 pm both parents returned to nest and fed Harmon.
Rescuers were only minutes away from going back up to get Harmon.

Decorah eagle found electrocuted
July 3, 2012
We are very sorry to announce that D12 is dead. D12 was found electrocuted at the base of a power pole on a Sunday morning.
Power lines themselves are not an electrocution hazard for birds (birds can and do sit on wires), but unshielded poles can be dangerous.
The Avian Protection Plan Guidelines include information on raptor safe poles and modification of existing poles. New structures are fairly safe, but older poles may not be.
Older poles may have been installed either before people were aware of electrocution hazards to wildlife.
One of the Decorah eagles born this spring was found electrocuted over the weekend.
The Raptor Resource Project, which runs the well-known Decorah Eagle Cam, says one of the younger eagles was found electrocuted at the base of a power pole on Sunday.
The bird was known as D12, and had recently left the nest for the season.
RRP comment
"We continue to remember how blessed we are with all the successes from the Decorah nest so far, and we will be thankful for all the future successes as well.
This is the first known tragedy from the Decorah nest, and we thank all of you for your heartfelt thoughts on this loss."
The Decorah Eagle Cam operated by the Raptor Resource Project tracks a pair of bald eagles each year as they lay eggs and the eaglets eventually leave the nest.
The live stream has been viewed by more than 20 million devices around the world.
The Raptor Resource Project is a non-profit based in Decorah. It was established in 1988 to preserve birds of prey.

Norfolk Botanical Garden eagle nests removed
October 3, 2012
The eagle nests at Norfolk Botanical Garden were removed Thursday morning.
Federal, state and local wildlife officials said one complete nest and a partial nest had to be taken down because of the danger to wildlife and aircraft coming and going from nearby Norfolk International Airport.
The FAA cited concerns about four bald eagles being struck by aircraft in the last 10 years. The USDA identified bald eagles as "an extremely high" hazard risk to aircraft.
The city applied for state and federal permits to remove the nests before nesting season begins in the next few months. The permits came in this week.
To my surprise, the nest Nixy was born (hatched) in was removed, and her parents will not be permitted to re-build in the male's territory of many years. Sad.

Dont punish NBG for this. Its NOT their fault!
Eagle Cam fans to flock to Norfolk council meeting February 4, 2013
people have signed up to speak out against the imminent move of three eagle nests at Norfolk Botanical Garden.
August 2013 I emailed NBG to ask if donations are off.
People should NOT punish the beautiful gardens for what the airport did to our eagles.
They replied -
Thank you so much for your interest in the Garden.
We are sure there are a number of eagle fans that have decided to not renew their membership and we are no longer receiving major donations for the eagle cam. However, we still do have many eagle fans that visit the Garden for a hope of a glimpse of DAD eagle who we do site periodically.
The eagle cam was a wonderful education program that is missed by many including NBG staff and
we appreciate the time we had with the eagle family.
Thanks again for your support of our beautiful garden. Cathy
