We have been watching a peregrine falcon in Australia. The link is:

Phew I'm running out of steam before running out of things to do for sure. It is so wonderful not to have that project nagging at me that has to be done... feel lighter and happier than I have in a long time.
Nilla Bean - I do wish you'd get online and chat with us if you're up to it, and if you're not then you need to be having cute dr's stickin things on your chest (Now, now I meant stethoscopes -just didn't want to type that long word...) {grin} We love our Nilla Bean!
Mauley - that's a wonderful crew to love. I hope mom has all the time, patience and love she needs to give them a wonderful life together and to grow into the strong adults this world needs
Mits - we're praying, but an update would be nice?
Hi Carol nice you could stop in again for awhile. That was alot of reading to catch up on.
I didn't know groudhogs could swim either.
Take care stop back.
I just scanned the blog---great to hear from everyone---BELLE--I bet you are proud---we are all proud---I used to repeat that to my kids every day---EDUCATION---get all you can----WVAVICKY---I like your pink kitten---nice puzzle too---Yes, I spent time this afternoon cleaning up my files----CAROL--enjoyed hearing from you---don't work too hard----stop & watch the eagles---MEMA JO--I want to talk to you about the rehab---where did you take it-----Don't forget to take Jim's advice----PERK UP YOUR WEEKEND--Watch the METEORS this weekend-----PAULA, are you going back to school---COOL----I'm going out for dinner----a group of us have been doing this for about 15 yrs. every Fri. nite-- (I was only 10, when I started)---NOT---W/check in when I get back----LATER
Sharon When will you be home? You will read this ALL tonight won't you LOL
Some of your Friends of fine feather well, they have been very very good, and well then there is the others...they know who they are...and to make matters worse Someone stole my wet noodle and sealed it together with some donated and previously recalled wax!!!! Welcome back...we so need you to keep things in order around here!!!
Stopped by the zoo Tai is "pumping the milk out of poor Mom" oh those teeth. Mom sort of looks like she has been drugged for this one eating.
When I traveled around didn't see any eagles or eaglets in nest at that time.
Even went to the Ocean City Cams..You know what I did there???
answer
I looked for myself there and didn't see me darn!
Thanks all that you like my kitten.
BBl dinner bell
ALERT! Eaglet in BC NEST!
wvagal, we have more than one thing in common ---- I love my cats also!
Here i am as per Jo's orders..lol Thanks for the calls Belle and Jo, ate alil something and heading back to bed.. Mits congrats on the newest addition to your family.. Jo congrats on your graduation from Pulminary class... Hugs to everyone camt remember everything in blogs right now , Oh seen Mike Douglas has died.. He ahd his show in Philly and when in Nursing school a group of us went down to the show.. Paul Anka kissed my cheek..lol Ok maybe more revealed later .. Hugss
NillaGlad you stopped in. Still sounds like you are not feeling up to par. Hummm what should I say to you about that....Take an aspirin and call Jo & Belle in the morning.
Sure hope you get to feeling better.
Vicky ILI'll check that out ty.
If that eaglet lays down that tree rocking that nest back and forth he'll go to sleep like a baby being held in a rocking chair.
Howdy all.
SO good to see NillaBean was feeling good enough to get up and eat something. Hope you get a good night's rest and feel lots better tomorrow. I will be out of town, but Jo will be checking on you for sure.
So nice to see the eaglet in the nest.
Frieda just jumped off her clutch. Still only looks like 3 to me. 3 is a good number, so we know Back on the nest again - that was a quick off and on again - not sure if maybe it is Frodo watchin now or if Mom just needed to stretch for a second. Hard to tell with the 10 second delays.
I wonder if it is Sydney or Victoria in the nest in BC. I guess they come back just like our BigBoy, Inbetween and Spunky did or does.... I sure miss our kids!
Nest Alert! Eaglet in BC nest!
It is one of em Jo - that's for sure LOL... Seems so big compared to ours, but I read on one of the blogs that the farther north the eagles, the larger the birds, so at first I would say it is so large that it is probably a female, but with the size change geographically, maybe not.
Does that mean our eaglets will most likely stay in the same geographic region because they are of a certain size and want to find a mate of similar size?
Just found something funny--on the BC eagle site - go to forum - Eagles Nest-Eagle discussion - 4th one up from last topic "How do you know you have been watching eagles too much?"
You will really relate to these answers!!
I sure wish we could still see our nest, but hopefully the time down will bring about exciting new features. I wonder if they do still come back to the nest and if Liberty and Belle have flown off on an end of summer vacation together to see the country before settling in for nest repairs and a new family this winter.
What in the world do you think the BC eaglet is doing? I thought he was about to lie down - but maybe he is just holding on so not to blow over in the wind ???
Jo - those are so FUNNY - well they'd be funnier if I wasn't guilty of thinking hmmm I could've posted that comment... ROFL
Good Evening, all!
Jo, I'll have to check out those comments.
I Miss our Kids, too!
Norma,
I'm done w/ school, 14 years was enough. Also, at this point, a master's wouldn't earn me any more money in the current job, and not interested in changing jobs. Been there for 27 years!
Nilla,
Hope you feel better tomorrow.
Jo,
Heard anything else from Mits?
Ciouple of glasses of wine does wonders for a hurt toe!
All you lurkers come out and identify yourselves...........................
I have turned off the AC most of the day - It certainly has been beautiful weather.
Just had a visit from my daughter and she brought me some of her home grown tomatoes. They really look nice. She's the one who wants to take me to Hawk Mt. Then my son stopped by to say hello. He took my remaining Angle Food cake-boohoo! It's ok because my hubby ate all the icecream. Well, I'm rambling...
BBL I am going to be a lurker....
Carol I realize you probably won't ever see this comment; however, I bet you 10 to 1 that it was a beaver you saw swimming in the river and not a groundhog. There are quite a lot of beaver down at the river... you can tell due to all the sharp pointed trunks of the downed trees. Just a thought.
No more word from Mits about Maggie's condition at this time. I know we'll all keep the family in our prayers.
BC Eaglet taking a nap. You're right, Belle, he/she does look quite large. But then that nest has fallen apart - wind storm did it.
I am back from dinner---it was nice---PAULA---I thought I read you were shopping for college?---Don't worry I'm not with the program----NILLA---good to know you are feeling better---I still can't get into that BC Eagle site-----BELLE---Back to God's Country tomorrow---
Norma There is an eaglet in the BC nest.
Try to get to it by opening beakspeak.com
Then go to Bald Eagle - British Columbia Canada
It will say Hornby Island
It is the one you want.
Norma,
I am shopping for items that my son will need while he is away at college - much more expensive than when he was in high school! However, we did get it almost all done last night!
Jo,
That forum on Infotech, about how you know you're an eagle addict is great!
If anyone else wants to read it, it is under "eagle discussion".
Just checked on Freida, she is faithfully laying on her 3 eggs.
Has anyone else found it interesting that falcons don't really seem to build a nest, just lay their eggs in the rocks?
Paula I guess we enjoy them so much that like Belle said - we have said the same things! Good to laugh at ourselves!
Which college is your son going to attend? Just wondering how far it is from you.
Jo,
Glad you are not lurking!
My son is going to Rider, in New Jersey, just south of Princeton. Only a 3 hour drive. But my oldest will still be in the area, he lives in Emmitsburg now, but it moving just outside of Gettysburg in a month, but it is only 15 minutes away.
Norma The BC eaglet flew the coop! But if you find it - bookmark it for the future when someone says - Eaglet in BC nest!!!!!
Norma, I had 24 sessions with the rehab. It is associated with the hospital & my pulmonary Dr referred me. I went for an hour each Mon,Wed,Fri. While exercising the staff (they were great & lots of fun) monitored your blood pressure and oxygen level. It has really helped me - I plan to exercise at home - I have the equipment - but if I fail to keep up with it I will enroll at the Hosp.program at the YMCA.
NOrma,
I can't see the BC eagles at home either, I'm on dialup.
JO,
Do you walk regularly for part of your exercise program? I really find it mentally relaxing, too, as well as being good for you.
Found the answer to the peregrine nest question on their forum, which is really good, take time to read it!
Greg says:
Falcons (falcons, merlins, hobbies and kestrels) do not build their own nests. Falcons as a group nest on the ground, on cliff ledges, cavities in cliffs or rocky outcrops, tree hollows or in the already constructed nests of other birds (especially crows, herons, hawks, etc). In the latter case, some of the larger more aggressive falcons may even evict the original builders on occasion (this is called nest appropriation).
Some falcon species, including Peregrines, seem to view tall buildings as fancy cliff faces and nest on window ledges, roof-tops or suitable cavities. I guess that one could say that skyscrapers represent big expensive nest boxes for falcons! The buildings don't have to be new either! I have seen some very evocative photographs of Lesser Kestrels nesting on ancient ruins in the Middle East and North Africa and Bat Falcons similarly using Pre-Columbian ruins in Central America.
JO---Thanks---I got in thru Beakspeak OK---cam "connecting"---but cam doesn't come on---w/try again tomorrow----Also--Animal Cam worked---I miss our Spunky, et al-----I took a similar class at the Winchester Med. Center a couple yrs. ago---I didn't go back for exercise later---Is that your hospital---glad you did so well, that's great---let us know if you hear from MITS---I w/pray Baby Maggie is doing better----
I AM BACK! I have missed you all so very much. It sure is going to take lots of reading to catch up!! You all have been busy this week. Probably be tomorrow before I can read it all! I was up until about 4 a.m. eagle time this morning and slept maybe 4 hours so my butt is dragging! Be back on in a little bit. Going to read some more.
I was just about to blog a comment about SHARON should be coming back soon --and there she is !!
Sharon,
Where you up playing tricks on the kids? Oh, do tell!
PAULA---WOW--I bet you will suffer the EMT syndrome---I can't imagine how much that all costs now---it takes a while to get used to it----HAVE FUN----
Sharon,
Only 1000+ comments, shouldn't take you too long!
hehe
Whatcha Ya'll doin?? Just checking in before my cell phone rings and Jo says HOW ARE YOU..lol Right now i am feeling better slight headach but took somethin.. Welcome back Sharonnnn.. Just relaxing watching tv will check in alil later... Hugsss cant wait for Mits to tell us all about the new baby.. Jo i am so proud of you graduating.. If i had to move real fast right now i would faint..lol I use to take Pre-Ventil i think it was for my breathing.. Was on 2 B/P meds for years and thats a side effect of them you get breathing problems..Well see ya'll in awhile
HELLO SHARON----We all missed you--so very, very much ---happy you are home---Must hear all about your band camp experience----W/talk tomorrow---Bet it was FUN--
Verapimille and Inderal were the meds thought i better put them here before someone asked and i cant remember..lol
I was just thinking it was time for Sharon to log in, too. So much to catch up on and to tell us about Sharon, but we'll take it easy on you tonight - knowing that you're tired - WELCOME HOME!
Just got a pic of Frieda and Frodo's eggs! Still 3, beautiful pink eggs in the nest. Boy, they look big! Guess I'm starting a new picture collection! LOL
To tell you the truth, I didn't play any tricks. I did go into the bathroom at one point when they seniors were having the freshmen fill up the water balloons and they had one little feller in the cold shower, holding him in there. I went in and told them to let him out and my precious little baby Andrew came up behind me with a huge tub of cold water and dumped it right over my head. Lots more to tell but too tired to tell it!
Nilla my dear, thank you so much for checking in again.. You know we're worry warts by heart... please go to ER tomorrow - shouldn't be too busy if you get up and get in their around dawn... after the night accidents have cleared and before the 'regulars' start wandering in
Nilla, it is spelled verapamil!! :)
SHE'S BACK, THE PROOFREADER FROM H--L!!
Hi Belle and Nilla!
I'm still reading the 'you know you've been watching...' forum - soo funny - thanks again Jo for pointing it out!
And of course, Welcome Back Sharon!
Mits is a Grammie! Info is on this log, baby girl, some complications, don't know what, so we are all praying for Mits and baby Maggie!
Paula I plan on starting to walk - mainly down at the mall. There are too many hills for me to handle around the development. For now the treadmill is great.
ROFLMBO - I forgot, going to have to start proofing my posts again LOL
LOve ya Sharon
Hi Paula! How's the toe? Hope it isn't still throbbing. You gonna loose the nail? I HATE when that happens
There are a lot of mall walkers Jo - I'll look for you when I'm there. We just bought a recumbent stationary bike so I can get some exercise - Getting a master's degree has packed on the pounds! Now I need to work to get them back OFF before my knees fail me
PRAYERS ARE NEEDED
In my gransdon's company in Afgahanistan there were 6 killed & 6 or more injured. My granddaughter, Christine, (my NY gals) is the FRG leader and has received this call. She will not get further info until all families are notified. Families cannot be notified after 9 pm or before 7 am. She said she had been looking out the window everytime a car went by - looking for uniformed officers. I have a strong FAITH but I am so scared. Please pray for us.
Freida is back on the eggs again...have to laugh, looks like she gives the cam the evil eye.
Whomever had last possession of that can of wax, kindly pass it over to Belle
It is so good to be back in the real world again. Every time someone came down I would ask if anything major was happening in the world. As far as I knew, everything but Summers County, WV could have blown up and we wouldn't have known it. No TV, no radio, few phone calls now and then but not much else. My sister told me on the way home about the UK thing. Really glad our UK girls are okay and also that Geula checked in. Even when the world goes nuts, our little world right here carries on and I am so grateful.
There are a lot more people who are aware now that BigBoy, Ms. InBetween, Spunky, Liberty and Belle exist!! I shared it with anybody that would listen! :) Showed them pictures from my coffee mug.
Belle,
The toe is still throbbing, getting blacker too. Will probably lose the nail, yuk! Been years since that has happened.
Jo, my prayers are with you and your family for your grandson's well being
MEMA JO, PRAYERS ARE ALREADY GOING UP!! Love you lots and many, many hugs to you!! (((((((HUGS))))))))! Can you feel it?
OH God Jo - Prayin hard! Oh oh oh
Please keep us posted.
Paula I think we can find a new trophy - I don't want no wax LOL
Sharon so glad to have you back on the other end of this computer screen again
.Jo you have mail AND my prayers for all concerned!!!
Hate to be a party pooper, ladies, just when the party is getting started, but didn't get much sleep last night, and have to work tomorrow.
Baby Maggie, Jo and Nilla, you are in my thoughts tonight.
Gnite.
Oh my Jo i am wrapping my arms around you and holding you tight. So much heartache and families in fear of the loved ones over there in this war. Ouchie Paula when i was in nusring mainly worked the 11pm til 7 shift and had a habit of taking shoes off at night and had many of toe injury from it.. Sharon i am sure you have lots to tell us and share. The words of CAROL come to mind as we have shared so many parts of our lives here as we have become family. BBL more tv n resting
Going to bed now. Just looked in on Andrew and he is sound asleep. Don't figure I will hear anything out of him until tomorrow afternoon. He is wore slam out. They work so hard during this week and he is pretty sad that this was his last band camp! Hate to see that too!
Good night, my friends of fine feathers. It is so great to be back!
I do feel those hugs - and I do hear those prayers. Thank you so much. I will let all of you know when more information is available.
Going to say Goodnight to all of
my eagle buddies.
