It's too hot! How about up there in CT. It just has to be cooler up there.
Thanks for the new thread - we really needed one. Things were slowing down.
Take care, Steve.


I was #1

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hi Jo, thanks for the invite.

No, Steven, it is not hot enough. HA! I was #2!

Mema Jo said...

Looks as though I am still the

only 1!

Come Out! Come Out!
Wherever you are!

YooHoo - calling all my eagle buddies!

Mema Jo said...

You did it again - Always one step ahead of me! Thanks for joining me!
Did you see GLO's new pic?

wvgal_dana said...

hi mema jo never alone remember people are "lurking" lol.
Did you see earlier that Poppa Smurf I don't think unless they moved cam is in nest anymore.

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Steven for the new thread...keep cool.

wvgal_dana said...

Mema Jo went back to Glo's pic is it in the alburm on eaglet_momster group? Those I've seen beautiful pics they are.

Mema Jo said...

Hi VIcky-wvagal I wonder which one ousted Poppa Smurf?

Mema Jo said...

No, Vicky. It is on the blog page - look at her last comment before she
went dancing on the last thread.

Just Vicky said...

Yes Mema Jo, he's still at camp! I have lots of hummingbirds. I enjoy them so much! And THEY CAN SURE DO POOP SHOOTS TOO!

Mema Jo said...

Vicky-Il - that's one I have not seen.

Just Vicky said...

Yes Steven, THANKS FOR THE NEW THREAD! WE SURE APPRECIATE OUR NEW "THREADS!"

Just Vicky said...

Oh my you have never seen one of those hummers do a shot? Usually while they are eating!

Mema Jo said...

Hate to leave ya! I need about 1.5 hrs to do some chores... BBL

Just Vicky said...

Chores?????

Mema Jo said...

To me, paying bills is a chore! You usually associate chores with something not too pleasant!

Just Vicky said...

Ok, I got it Mema Jo! That would just about sum up my days at work, "Chore!"

I think STEVEN is hitting the ole "G&T's, on Monday he had MINDAY, notice he changed that, now on Wednesday he has us as Tuesday, August 2nd. Hope your having a good time. When I was driving around the Capitol Beltway, STEVEN, the temp was 104, bet you are happy you are not traveling to D.C. this week.

wvgal_dana said...

Before we moved here I had a hummingbird feeder that hung right outside at my kitchen window. We sat at the kitchen table and watched them. If I was at the sink they weren't scared they would continue to feed. BOY OH BOY Mema Jo can those tiny hummers do the "poop shoot" wow.
Boy the subjects we come up with to talk about when we can't see the eagles and eaglets. lol

wvgal_dana said...

I want to be #20 lol

Just Vicky said...

Yes it is amazing what we find to talk about, reduced to poop!

wvgal_dana said...

I am so so excited to get to where it is time for Liberty and Belle to re-do their nest. Lay some eggs. So we all can get back to talk about these beautiful eagles.
Sharing each others excitement and helping those that only got to see the "still refreshing pic". Describing what we see on the "live feed". As I type this my heart is beating faster and faster.

Just Vicky said...

Oh yes yes yes, new eggs and new little eaglets! WE ARE READY BELLE AND LIBERTY!

wvgal_dana said...

We have such good memories and pictures of this years eaglets. I think I can remember most people saying "it's really been such a learning experience".

Just Vicky said...

A learning and a dream come true for me! I've had such a fascination for eagles and this just went beyond my dreams to be a part of this year's eaglets! I'm in for the rest of my life!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Liberty and Belle will lay no eggs before their time! :) I am ready too. We do alright keeping ourselves busy, topics interesting!

Going to bed now as I have an early shift in the morning (5 a.m.) so that will be here before I know it. I have to say it is really hard to get ready for work in the mornings. I have to open my eyes, step onto the floor, take one step, sit down in the chair and start typing. Just the labor of it all wears me out! :):):)

Sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feathers!

wvgal_dana said...

Well my dear eagle/eaglet friends it's time to say good nite. Thanks for all the chatting and sharing. It's been a pleasure.
Tc=take care

Just Vicky said...

wvagal - Are you going to the Oct. 21st open house? I would sure like to make an effort to get there myself if possible.

Just Vicky said...

Goodnight! Dream of eagles!

Anonymous said...

Good Night All! Talk to you tomorrow.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

GLO MUST REALLY BE DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY!! HOPE YOU HAVE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME.

Just Vicky said...

Where was Norma today??

Mema Jo said...

It is 11:00 & I know where my cats are-time to go to bed.
I don't know where Norma was all day. Hopefully she'll check in tomorrow.

You all stay cool.
Goodnight All,

Sweet Eagle Dreams..........
Lots of Love

**Thinking about you having fun Glo!

glo said...

Well it's 11:45 my time and I am home on on the BLOG but I really think its my router, and i need to make a Service call. First it had me restart the router, then it siad I was connected had no this that and the other, and to call this 24 hour service number. I hit print this page and thought I'll deal with that tomorrow. Then decided to try one more time and here i am.

Yes I had a wonderful time dancing But alas I need some foot surgery I have been puttinf off and i really feel it now when I go dancing. I haven't gone in three months because it hurt so bad the last time. I find things to do to put it off.

No one told me if you thought Liberty was fanning Belle or Belle was fanning Liberty. :-( Well I think he's a gentleman and she's a lady and he has helped keep her cool during the heatwave. he was such a good dad my guess is he makes a good Husband/Mate too. JMHO

Good night all. I sure hope this posts when I hit publish!!!

Bird Girl said...

hey all, sorry i didn't come back... i get bad headaches about every 10 days or so and they don't like to go away... at least i don't get actual migraines more than 3-4 times a year... ugh...

I hope all had/have a good day! Steve, take care wherever you are -- drink lots of water!

Anyone have any bird questions or bird articles they would like me to address on Nest Watchers?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning everybody. Early day today. It is supposed to be 87° today. AC in my office/bedroom is a wonderful thing. Starting work now. BBIALW.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

There is an eaglet in the Maine nest!! Love this morning. It looks like it is black and white now. The other eaglet just landed.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Suzanne -

http://www.briloon.org/ed/eagle/

Picture refreshes every 15 seconds.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Suzanne, I have the live feed up and it is daylight. They have been branching and just a chattering back and forth. They left and then came right back.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

No Suzanne, I didn't get my order yesterday. Hopefully today!

floralgirl said...

Good morning all-Last day of extreme heat!!!YEAH!I can't take much more of this and am worn out from trying to keep all my plants alive.Just came in for an A/C break and a quick bite.Then back outside again.Hope everyone is doing ok.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Eaglet still in the nest in Maine. Food just came in by parent followed by another eaglet coming to fight for the food. Parent up on branch.

MT nest at NU.

Tai is sleeping. Mei just Ray Charles'd her way out the door.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Maine nest - 1 eaglet mantling and eating at the same time. The other one appears to be waiting to make the steal!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Is it normal for Tai to be sleeping this time of the morning? I don't like it!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, where is everybody this morning?

glo said...

Good Morning. Well some of us were out late dancing ya know LOL. Now its coffee and dog treat time.

Stormed big here last night, I'm tired!!! I think 80's and rain today...Coming your way, hang in there 1 monre day!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, I am feeling a little uneasy (or maybe a lot) about Tai this morning. He was sleeping in the den. Mei came in and laid down a minute. Then she went back out and people came in with Tai. Now they are just showing Mei.

glo said...

This is Rediculour That comment loaded like I am the onlyone in cyberspace or something. I STILL think its Router time here hmmm, might have to pick some brains on here about that...more to be revealed.

Liberty you take good care of Belle today, and Belle you might want to take turns just a little every now and then

glo said...

Obviously I can't type this morning, good thing i'm OFF TODAY.

movin said...

Morning, All...

I believe the HEAT WAVE we were having last week has blown back your way. Hang in there, drink plenty of ice tea, Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water (do they have that in the East? It's one of the few, which actually is from Springs...another whole story from when I was a kid)..... As I was saying, hang in there, the temps have dropped to 80 and below, and we're doing a lot better in So Cal.

You may be interested that the Peregrine female in Brisbane was looking exactly like she was setting on the nest late yesterday, and sure enough, they have a notice up this morning that she has laid her first egg of 2006.

They also have some relevant video clips posted.

Take care and hold the practices for the Marathon to a minimum for a few days, and we'll still be blogging with you next week.

Jim

glo said...

Good morning Jim Glad your heat has broken...guess most of the country has really put in several tough days in a row. We get a couple of days break here, but then back in the 90's...hopefully not quite as humid etc.. Someone needs to mow grass in my neighborhood

Anonymous said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Fighting again on the AppArt osprey site.

Think I will go look at the otters. :)

GOOD MORNING GOOD EAGLE BUDDIES Sometimes , they have to kick Tai's lazy little butt out of the den in the a.m. to clean the den. Thought I saw both in the grotto, but now think Tai is up a tree. Anyhow, will be in and out today, need major body repairs from head to toe. SHARON What were those letters up there on one of your posts? DLTUK You had an exact description of the pandas going ons yesterday. He is getting more rambocious each day. But, I love him, hoping to sneak over tomorrow, if I get a chance to see him, if not then I will go see them sometime after Labor Day. GLO, Drinking coffee in my Eagle Momster mug.

gkeeslar@sbcglobal.net

Just write whats on your heart and what the experience has been like for you. and of course include a thought perhaps for our 3 special eaglets/as well as perhaps Liberty and Belle. Hope to hear form you...that would be great!!!

Just Vicky said...

Where's everybody at around here today?? Things seem slooooooowwww! Are they taking naps?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Have we heard from Paula lately?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thee, me, I and Sharon!

Just Vicky said...

Is that the Panda cam you are watching?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yes mam, it is!

Just Vicky said...

I haven't gotten into any other wild life, guess I'm still mourning the loss of our "kids" and parents! Withdrawals big time!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Vicky, I go to this website to get a view of eaglets. They have been there quite a bit this morning. Also, if you type in nu eagle cam, you can see eaglets there sometimes although they seem to be gone most of the time now.

http://www.briloon.org/ed/eagle/

glo said...

Well I had an appt to keep for a short while mid morning. Now I am off to work on the Tribute page becuase right now mY Computer is Behaving itself very well!!!!
Vicki you have sbc global I think...did it come with a Router? How long have you had it? Have you had any problems. I have had this dsl for 10 months now, and never had any problems until the last couple of weeks. i think it really could be the router.

Just Vicky said...

Glo, my router is going on its 2nd year now and no problems, sometimes it seems like dialup compared to the T1 line I have here at work! I'm sure you've tried completely shutting down and restart, which is all we can do with SBC!

Just Vicky said...

ah Janet, don't worry about spelling, we all read generically around here anyways!

Just Vicky said...

See I couldn't even spell that!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Baby Smurf is right at the camera again. I love seeing all the details of his feathers!

Just Vicky said...

As long as we don't have an English major on here we'll be ok! If they are, we're going to drive them crazy!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Nap time for Tai and Mei!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

No English major, just the proofreader from h--l!

:)

Just Vicky said...

Now we're going to scare everyone off for sure with a "proofreader" in the house!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Proofreader been here the whole time. Ain't nobody skeered of me!

Thanks for all who have contributed...and thanks for all who are thinking and finding the words they feel on their heart.

Send them on in...it's coming together.

This page will NOT be Photo intense...has a piece of music but loads pretty well I think. I sure am hoping those on dial up can enjoy what is happening as well, once it is released.

Sandy I have answered your mail. Sure glad you saw that comment about Tribute and responded so quickly today!!!

wvgal_dana said...

I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I AM NOW THE PROUD OWNER OF A EAGLE MUG, MOUSE PAD AND GUARDIAN EAGLE PIN!!! I am pleased as punch. Will be drinking coffee out of it really soon. Thanks Glo for all your efforts of putting that together for us!!

Now for the UPS thing. I decided to call them today about my delivery. Turns out, they have started a new thing that once it gets to the local UPS, it is then taken to the USPS (post office) and delivered by the mail man. Okay, once I found that out, I went looking for the mail man because he doesn't deliver directly to my house, it goes to a box at the bottom of the hill. I did not want a slip of paper saying that I had a package at the post office. I wanted the package. Well, I came, I saw, I conquered. He said "I think I have a package for you" and he did!!

In looking at the mousepad, it is so amazing how they looked so much alike when starting to fledge and all from the same spot. Does that normally happen, all fledge from the same launch pad? Anyway, love it, mean it!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I read something one time that all the words were misspelled, had all the right letters, first and last letter was in the right place and the letters in between were scrambled. Had no trouble whatsoever reading it.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

About my hawks (or lets say God's hawks, I am not claiming them as mine - they are not red-tailed hawks as I thought before. They are either Cooper's hawks or sharp-shinned hawks, can't tell, but they do eat little birds. They had better stay away from my birds. Just saw one fly in front of the house. Everything gets so quiet when they are around. No peep out of any of my little birds.

wvgal_dana said...

Sharon we are getting ready as you see for leaving us without you lol.
Things are only samples of what is going to happen while your at Band Camp lol.
