Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Lun Lun's cam is on!

paula eagleholic said...

Suzanne's eagle pics are up, they are best if you can look at them in the large mode!

paula eagleholic said...

Shhh, I agree, Suzanne!

MITS said...

Good Morning All!! Suzanne, what an adventure you had yesterday. I'm up in that area all the time, will have to keep a pair of binoculars in the car with me from now on.

floralgirl said...

Hi Paula and Sharon. I don't know which album Suzanne's eagle pics are in, still looking. Suzanne, in your album you have a picture labeled cicada killer wasp on butterfly bush. The picture shows a clearwing hummingbird moth- it flies during the day and is often mistaken for a hummer or large bee at first glance. It is a good bug, harmless in your garden.

Osprey in CT is standing on teddy bear

paula eagleholic said...

Oh my! He has fish in talon on top of teddy bear. Going to be a fishy bear, (as if he probably wasn't already!)

paula eagleholic said...

Decided not to eat on top of bear, moved it to the right.

wvgal_dana said...

Good morning all; going to take a look at Suzanne's pics bbiaw

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning all my eagle buddies.
Just finished emails - MITS That article is just too cool about the juvie landing in the Bolton area.
The reasons are funny if you relate it to watching for a first flight & we all said that it won't be today because he ate too much - to heavy to fly. Oh, what memories.I did forward to Steve C & Steve W at FWS.
Suzanne Going over to see the pics - I just know you were estactic upon seeing those guys!!!
I can't believe it is only around 70 degrees.I am so wanting to open the windows for fresh air. Thanks, Ernesto - now give us some rain.

paula eagleholic said...

Suzanne,
Toe is good, so long as I don't try to put it into a closed toe shoe. Finally went and bought a couple more open toe shoes for work, couldn't stand wearing the same pair everyday!

Sharon,
Are you working?

paula eagleholic said...

CT Osprey has moved back to his favorite eating spot at 12 noon

floralgirl said...

EW! I looked at a picture ofa cicada killer and they are gross looking. The hummingbird moth has a body resemblinga bee- cicada killer definitely has a wasp body. Hummingbird moths will fly right up to you- not afraid. At night, we go out to find the hummingbird moths that are flying around, you can stand in the flowers and they will zoom all aroud you. They burrow into the ground also, as a hornworm caterpillar and transform into moths in this wild looking chrysalis and then emerge. they only fly at night, the others are out during the day, they even sound like a hummer with their hum..., just no squeaking.

Mema Jo said...

NEWS FLASH FROM SHEPHERDSTOWN WV
NCTC/FWS


I had sent Mits' article from Baltimore Sun to Steve Wunderley &
here is his reply


Neat article. BTW just saw a "juvie" fly past my window here about 20 minutes ago.

steve w.

WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Mema Jo said...

Doesn't that just give you a
MORNING HIGH

wvgal_dana said...

Jo Eagle flew past whose window?
SuzanneThank you for sharing those great pics. Yes to do that you need my driver..
We need to put ad in paper in DC READS:needed NOW new panda cam driver
Seen we had a newbie "Hi Sandra welcome come back and join us".

wvgal_dana said...

Had to be up early; to take oldest dog to get clipped. Riding see large bird up high in sky...thoughts are is that an eagle...

glo said...

Fun pictures Suzanne also so wonderful to hear a "juvie'just flew by steve's window, at least I think it was Steves.

My windows are open...Come on in!!!! Yep got tuna...best I can do here.

Mema Jo said...

Dana - Steve Wunderley is the eagle expert at NCTC/FWS. You can see him in our first group pic visit.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am so excited about Steve seeing one of our babies. I surely wish I could. Also wish Todd would take more pictures so we could at least see them again. You people that live near there need to make another trip to see if you can see them!! I am afraid I would be camped out there if I lived near there.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thanks Mema Jo!!!!!

MITS said...

JO Thanks for sending the article to the Steves. I'm just surprised no TV cameras showed up, been looking on the Baltimore stations. If others want to read the article just go to the "BALTIMORE SUN" web site, sure you can just goggle it. If not just send me an e-mail and I will send it to you. kalis5615@comcast.net

Mema Jo said...

Heck of a good view if LunLun's cub is born today.

Suzanne Eagle pics are fantastic. Your camera did an excellent job - especially since I know you were shaking from excitement. My favoritea are 7,9 & 10! Might just need to put one up for a screen saver for awhile - say until April 2007...

glo said...

.OK Sharon, Here's the plan We are both going to work hard for 5 more years...figure that gets ANdrew through college

AND THEN we both share the expenses of a tent, bring our wireless laptops we have saved up for and we camp out. You photo and Frap, I make website, mugs etc, and newsletters, and we give hourly or at the minimum daily updates on Liberty Belle and family. They will definitely be grandparents by then, and our 3 young uns will be parents. yep I think they awill all set up "nest" somewhere along the Potomac anyway,

Plan 2 WE put in job applications there at NCTC and wait for them to hire us to do whatever it is as long as we get free access to the Sycamore tree when nOT working. LOL

Mema Jo said...

A reply to question I asked of Steve Wunderley, eagle expert NCTC/FWS
Question: Will the adult eagles, Liberty & Belle as we have named them,
be migrating?

Jo,
The adults don't really have any set migration pattern like many birds, it is more of an individual or pair decision on where they might go during the winter. In warmer winters many pairs stay close to home, if the winter is cold they may take off for the coast where the water will likely still be open and not iced in. It all seems to depend on how easy the fishing is any particular winter.

paula eagleholic said...

Was just outside, and sorry to report that what I thought was eagles were turkey vultures. Got a good look at them today, as it was cloudy and they flew right over me. Headless looking creatures - turkey vultures.

Mema Jo said...

I don't think that the Potomac River has frozen for a good many years..
Yep! They might just stick around -
they are tough ole' birds our famous pair - Liberty & Belle.

paula eagleholic said...

Suzanne -
What? You can't drive, take pics and look thru the binocs at the same time! (hee hee) JK!

Mema Jo said...

I just put LunLun up on my windows media player - I sure won't miss a thing now!

MITS said...

Maybe they will swing by the ocean to visit me during the winter.

paula eagleholic said...

Mits,
I put the link and the article on the momsters site, too.

MITS said...

JO refresh my memory, how do I do that putting the pic at the top again????????????

MITS said...

Why thank you kindly, PAULA.

Anonymous said...

Did someone call me ugly again??

Mema Jo said...

Hair Appointment changed to earlier time. I am out of here...

MITS On top of What ?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Turkey Vulture, just look in the mirror. It will tell you everything!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, got another 1/2 can of wax. Love it, love it.

Glo, I think the retiring after 5 years is a wonderful idea. Would also love to work at NCTC. I would be on the job 24/7 for sure!!

paula eagleholic said...

Turkey Vulture

YUP !

paula eagleholic said...

Actually think the comments was:

Ewwwww......so ugly!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Does Lun Lun have fleas or something. She scratches an awfully lot!

paula eagleholic said...

Ospreylet still hanging out in Papa Smurf nest

paula eagleholic said...

Mits,
The best thing about that Baltimore Sun Article was the picture!

MITS said...

We are going to bailing SUZANNE outta jail one day!!

wvgal_dana said...

Jo I not awake heading back to bedI know who Steve W. is I just blinked and thoughts got messed up. On Who seen the eagle? So ok I got it duh it was Steve W. at NCTC. Which means it might be one of OUR BABIES or a parent.

wvgal_dana said...

ANYONE INTERESTED IN LUN LUN PLEASE READ BELOW:
Sharon I spoke to Nilla about that with Lun Lun last night. She is really using those back feet. Look at the area she is scratching lol lol lol. Yesterday I tried to tell you all. That she got out of the craddle and went up to the X where two logs meet and put "her thing" down on it and rubbed and rubbed till I thought she would be raw. I was wondering if it had anything to do with maybe being pregrant??????

wvgal_dana said...

Now that I haven't seen Lun Lun do until today. Usually all the scratching and been "below". hummmm

wvgal_dana said...

I thought Glo gave Suzanne the "certificate" that allows her to stop, snap,write and drive.

wvgal_dana said...

Ok you all blog then I'm taking my nap.

floralgirl said...

Sorry I missed you, Dana.Came in to eat lunch. Who let the vulture in? One last large field to mow and I'm fiinished! YEA!

NillaWafer said...

Good Morning well what an xciting group this morning we have went from seeing turkey vultures to ugly hornets n bees and them Lun Lun scratchin her coother bug on a tree limb..lol Jo is gettin anew hair do... Dana really gets confused in the morning... Glo and Sharon are retiring and moving into atent on NCTC property.. Hey gals will they let you have usage of the porta potty at the guard shack????lol Belle my balloon is still up but slowly shrinking..lol Ok i am off this wknd and calling for alot of rain but maybe just maybe can sneak in a trip over to NCTC to take alook at the sky since Steve said he is seeing one... Shower time and MUST go get the prescrip filled today cant put it off any longer..lol

floralgirl said...

Hi Nilla, bye Nilla, going back out to finish mowing. Hope those pills are helping, sorry they are so expensive. You know, I was thinking the same thing when I read Jo's message from Steve. I gotta ride over there. I'm gonna try to go to Wash. Mon. Park in the next 2 weeks to climb to the top and look for eagles.

Mema Jo said...

Floralgirl: I'm going to bring my wagon & you can pull me to the top!
It's really not that bad of a hike - little steep, I think. We'll need to ask Suzanne.
Need to go over to see the Baltimore Sun article's pic of eagle on the sidewalk.
LunLun is now down on the floor at the end of her hammock.
Tai is sitting outside munching his bamboo.
Need to send more b-day cards to family. Aug/Sept are busy months in this family.
Mits back to my question: Put the pic on top of what?

glo said...

OH Gals who live near NCTC or PETE :-) Please please go over there and let us all know what you see Thank You in advance for your wonderful reports. I'm not sure there is even a guard there any more but just take along your certificates...you know the one like Suzanne carries with her all the time. The more the Officials spot them and realize they are .Official too, well who knows how valuable they will become and YES they definitely will get you into the porta potty!!

MITS said...

JO How do you keep the pic of Lun on your screen all the time? I just have mine at bottom, and go into it from time to time. I used to keep the eagles up, but can't remember how I did it.

Mema Jo said...

Good shot of LunLun in full view eating her bamboo..........

floralgirl said...

Oh yea, Glo there is always a guard at the gate of NCTC. Try to get over there soon. Jo-Bring that wagon!Climbed it many times, it's not a bad hike, lots of shade, just a little steep.

Mema Jo said...

Near the bottom of the regular Atlanta screen is where you can click onto
WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER.. I did that and then when it came up I minimized it so that I can just go to the tab & click it up. I thought it might cut off after so long - but it doesn't.

NillaWafer said...

Hey Hey Hey i dont have a GET ME IN NCTC CERTIFICATE...Ohh thats right alil sweet talkin, eye contact, smilin... cmere i wanta softly touch your arm.. Oh i do love aman with arm hair..

floralgirl said...

Nilla, you are the original get me into NCTC certificate holder.

Mema Jo said...

Tai is climbing all over Mia - LOL
Oh! Big bite - gotcha Mom.

Mema Jo said...

FloralGirl Megan, I think everyone is taking an afternoon nap.
Soooooooooooo quite in here.

I bet they wouldn't even hear us if
we hollered

EAGLE ALERT !!!

glo said...

Yes NillaYou do have an Official Guardian Eagle Certificate..but from the sounds of things You don't need one

paula eagleholic said...

Been working while it's been quiet in here! Nap sounds like a good idea! It's that time of day, think I'll go get a coke!

floralgirl said...

Hey, don't worry ,Jo, I'm still awake. Had to walk outside for a few. Got to go to the bus stop now. Maybe this will get their attention.. QUITTING TIME!!

Mema Jo said...

MEI is doing her Ray Charles dance.
I saw Tai the other dance doing the same thing... Just a shorter version.

LunLun finally got into her hammock but it didn't last long. She has the itches - all over!

Just Vicky said...

Gals, the "Guardian Angel Cert. needs to be given to any guard that is a male!

MITS said...

GLO I sent you the article from "The Baltimore Sun" said your system would not accept it, so I sent it again. My side said I did not have to resend it, that it would keep trying for 4 days to deliver to you. What's up with that????? I get a similiar message sometimes when I try to send things to people with an AOL address.

MITS said...

The zoo has been showing shots of TIAN TIAN and he has the itchys too. Now I think, I have them from watching these pandas.

paula eagleholic said...

Didn't see any turkey vultures on my last trip outside.

But there is no doubt about it. Turkey vultures soar beautifully like eagles, but they are no eagle! They are indeed ugly.

But not all creatures on this earth can be beautiful...but they are useful.

Our ugly vulture can prove to be very useful in making sure the dead animals are gone from the earth. What would we do without them cleaning that up?!

The turkey vulture is one of the only birds in North America with a sense of smell. This vulture relies both on its keen eyesight and powerful nose to search out food.

MITS said...

They sure can't rely on their looks, can they, PAULA????

floralgirl said...

Turkey vultures are like nature's street sweepers.

paula eagleholic said...

From the Frodocam today:

Countdown!
The first hatching is days away.


Cool! New chicks to watch soon!

glo said...

LOL Mits you have mail. have no idea what happened with that, but I did get the message about 10 minutes ago LOL. Thanks again.

paula eagleholic said...

Floralgirl,
I like that!

Mema Jo said...

REMEMBER
Paula placed the Balt.Sun.article
on the FILE in the Momsters.Site... You also get to see a very close up pic of the 'darling' in the middle of the street.
I tried to copy and paste the pic into one of my albums..but it didn't work.

Mema Jo said...

Well, I don't think that LunLun is going to make another appearance on camera today - She only has 18 minutes left to do so.

Excited about Frieda's eggs hatching soon. It will be good to see some little fuzzies with big feet........

MITS said...

NILLA, May the "BYRD OF PARADISE" help you out.....

Just Vicky said...

HOORAY FOR NILLA! BRING OUT THE BAND AGAIN! AND LET'S MARCH 8-5! Sharon will lead us!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Wouldn't call that rambling. Would call that being honest!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Here comes that Beaver Band!!!!! They are playing the theme from Rocky! That is what they play when the going gets rough!

U CAN DOOO ITTTT, NILLABEAN!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I hate it when Frieda looks like she doesn't have an eye. Just looks white sometimes.

Just Vicky said...

I knew our band leader would rise to the occasion!

Just Vicky said...

And let's play "Hail, Hail, the gangs all here for Nilla!"

NillaWafer said...

LOL Vicky made me laugh .. imagining Sharon in alittle majorette shirt n blowin the whistle... Awww i hope i at least hear something from his office on advise of where i can go for help alittle.. Other wise i might be living in a tent..lol J/K So move over Glo n Sharon..

MITS said...

SHARON, FRIEDA'S EYE IS OPEN!

NillaWafer said...

LOL thanks Mits and MAY THE BIRD OF PARIDISE FLY UP YOUR NOSE... lalalalala cant remember those words...

MITS said...

NILLA-SMARTA--

NillaWafer said...

lol well it is a song silly..

MITS said...

Lun-Lun ate some bamboo leaves today and a small sugar cube, ate no biscuits or fruit, cam is still on.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Now if they would just let Lun come back in to where the camera is!

Nilla, you are cordially invited to come stay in our tent! We could make it a tent city (just not a prison one).

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Looking through the still pics from the NU eagle nest, there has been an eaglet in there twice today. Oh how I miss our babies!

MITS said...

Watched the keeper cleaning up several hours ago and door was closed, door slightly ajar, right now.

NillaWafer said...

I looked at the chart for Lun Luns hormons and as of 29th there has been a decrease..

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Nilla, you've got mail!

NillaWafer said...

Oh my her having a cub soon... Freida having her eggs hatch... Life is good

MITS said...

Yes, it is NILLABEAN

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I read today that the body of water behind the eagle nest in Maine is the Atlantic Ocean. Thought that was pretty cool.

MITS said...

Do you think if I invited them some eagles would come nest on my balcony down the ocean????

MITS said...

Do you think the people down in Atlanta know that the cam is still on?????

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mits, I say send out the invite and wait.

I think Atlanta probably does not know that the camera is still on.

glo said...

OK put it off long enough. I am going out to mow!!!!! darn LOL

MITS said...

I know they are on a 24/7 watch in Atlanta, hoping they keep it on, just in case!!!

MITS said...

JO That poor eagle in Baltimore didn't look like it felt too well, hope he/she is ok.

Mema Jo said...

Atlanta Cam - Do you think it is a still pic - I know the time is running but let's keep an eye as to whether or not it gets dark outside of the door.


Paula Thanks for getting the Baltimore Juvie's pic in our album. I love it!
NILLA You sound GOOD! Keep up the high spirits - we love you for doing that!

MITS said...

Those idiots at the National Zoo, have left both cams on the same picture. I'm going over there one day and smack them silly!!!!

MITS said...

JO It looks like it is getting darker.

Mema Jo said...

MITS
Anyone who lands on a Baltimore City Street looks like that
no disrepect intended LOL

MITS said...

I don't want it, someone else take it....

Mema Jo said...

MITS
If you go over to the DC zoo - don't waste your time smacking them silly.
Just grab the camera & run
I am sure you would know exactly
where to point that camera !!

MITS said...

LOL!!! Don't make me come up there and spray your house with mosquito stuff.

Mema Jo said...

Don't try to give me any of the wax Sharon needs some more to complete her statues

NillaWafer said...

Sharon mail call.. Mits it was hot in the street and prolley just bewildered wondering what the H is all these people looking at..lol Just had 3 nurses in here from City Hospitol and we talked they are in shock at Winchesters price for the Angioplasty..Sad part is if i had insurance they would take what they offered to settle it but i dont so full price is paid.. Sad

Mema Jo said...

They really are spraying down on the west end of town - the mosquitos tested positive for West Nile. I closed my windows & doors once I read Nilla's email - I had forgotten. It is so close to an elementary school...

MITS said...

They have millions of people watching...and I another thing I have e-mailed them dozens of times and never have they replied, but one e-mail goes to Atlanta and BOOM, a reply in an hour. The National Zoo has a sort of arrogance to them, just because they are in the Nationals' Capitol.

NillaWafer said...

Josephine YOU BETTER STAY YOUR SWEET BUTT INSIDE with them spraying your area tonight !!!

MITS said...

NILLA What about a letter to your Attorney General. Ours in the State of Maryland was a huge help to us, when we went to the Super Bowl to see the Ravens play and the company did not give us the tickets for the game, after we paid for them. Got every cent back from the travel company.

Mema Jo said...

NILLABEAN - I won't even let my 2 cats outside! Being very cautious!

NillaWafer said...

Hmmm i can take alook at his web site Mits thanks.. Thing is with these drug pharm. its all in lingo thats hard to understand sometimes.. Maybe i should make atrip down to see Sharon since i am off all wknd til weds..lol Set the tent up Sharon here i come..lol

NillaWafer said...

Hmmm who is West Virginias Attorney General???? lol

MITS said...

LOL!!!!NILLA, GOOGLE IT

MITS said...

DARRELL V McGRAW JR.

Mema Jo said...

Darrell V. McGraw, Jr

http://www.wvs.state.wv.us/wvag

MITS said...

He brought a big lawsuit against the makers of OxyContin.

MITS said...

In the end I know you will have to pay some, but lets fight these bas-----, I think they just assume people are going to just pay the bill. And we all not what happens when we assume....

Mema Jo said...

http://www.wv.gov/OffSite.aspx?u=http://www.wvs.state.wv.us
/wvag

This is about prescription drugs.

Get your google going.. You just may find some information helpful to you.

MITS said...

That's right JO, she may find some good info out there in cyberspace.

Mema Jo said...

MITS It looks darker in LunLun's room - but it is still light outside the door. ?????????

Maybe some attendant will soon run inside the room & put a baby cub on the hammock!

MITS said...

That would be so wonderful.

MITS said...

Oh yeah, it is definitely much darker than the last time I looked.

Mema Jo said...

There Nilla - Join the Golden Mountaineer Discount Program !

Everyone, no matter what they are buying, likes a discount!!

MITS said...

JO Did we lose her???????????

NillaWafer said...

Ok i asked about the Golden Mountianeer program today and they said it was for 62 n older so i am CHIT OUTA LUCK i am only 59

MITS said...

Ok, totally dark at the Atlanta Zoo.

MITS said...

Yeah, these senior citizen ages are all over the place.

NillaWafer said...

Yeah i am a member of AARP of course you only got to be 50 for that because they charge to join..lol

Mema Jo said...

Hey Nilla - Looks as though you need to be blind, disabled or pregnant since you're not 65 to get Medicaid!!

I guess you could walk with a white cane & a walker to qualify.

They don't make it easy sometimes.

wvgal_dana said...

Alrighty EagleMomsters if I come in and chat is everyone leaving???

NillaWafer said...

Oh me your so right ... Well gettin pregnant is out of the question although gettin the cooter cob webs cleaned out might feel good..Oooops i cant see without my glasses to read does that count?? My kness are gone ka put need replacements ..lol

NillaWafer said...

Hey Dana how you be tonight??? I sure do miss Belle...

wvgal_dana said...

Nilla every hospital has this thing. Can't remember what it is called. It is where someone has left money when they past or they just set up a fund. It is to help people that can't afford their hospital bill. Did you check with both hospitals to see if there is any such fund monies;sometimes they do run out fast in year.

Mema Jo said...

My Atlanta cam is now down. Closed for the day I guess.

Frieda is off her nest - however, the pic isn't refreshing full length!

floralgirl said...

Good evening all, Nilla, you should definitely contact every rep. you have in the gov. in WV to see how they might be able to help you. If my Uncle was still alive ,I would seek advice from him for you(he was a lawyer). It is Bs how much they rake you over the coals for health care.

wvgal_dana said...

Nilla and I was talking last night and we mentioned Angie.
I checked the blogs back in the time you all went to NCTC. She must be pretty busy cause she didn't blog much at all. She seen where you all back then was talking about going to NCTC June. She was coming from Winchester.
Does any of this ring a bell to anyone????

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Nilla, you've got mail!

Mema Jo said...

I guess Frieda was off the nest for less then 5 minutes. Got some pics of the 3 eggs - was hoping to get one of her returning but the pic refreshed as there she was, already nested in.

belle_wv said...

I'm baaaaaack ( I know thanks for the warning, right?).... Nilla - WAY TO GO 17 days! And they have been some rough ones lately with those bills! Glad to see you're looking into some sources for info about those outrageous bills! It just seems SO wrong... you work your tail off and can't afford insurance, but aren't on welfare, so you have to pay a fortune to cover all the welfare folks' bills... I'm sure the AG, Byrd and other agencies can give you some advice on how to handle everything. Just make sure you contact the billing offices and tell them you want to try to make arrangements to pay what you can so they don't start calling and hounding you for the money.

I'm so excited about Frieda - she's turning those eggs a lot. For anyone who is curious why and not sure - it is to keep the little chick from 'sticking' to the shell, and getting kinda 'flat' on the bottom... from staying in one position too long. The bigger the chicks get, the more often they need to be 'rotisseried' lol I bet Frieda loves the idea of a hot dog roller thingie - that would be awesome... set it to provide just the right amount of heat and keep them on a slow gentle roll, she could take a wee bit longer break! Soon she'll be busy flying to help find food for her growing babes, right? Dad does come help out bringing food and letting mom fly and hunt once they're hatched, doesn't he?

Ahhhh thanks Floral the very very sad part is my daughter Melissa is a lawyer yes she graduated from LSU But doesnt talk to me so no free legal advise....Come to think about it she doesnt talk to any family ya know we are trash she is the cream of the crop, forgets where she came from and who was there for her in her hard times ..

wvgal_dana said...

Maybe one of you that went back then to NCTC might remember talking to her about what kind of work she did. Maybe about family; she did say she has a brother I think younger (guessing there).

wvgal_dana said...

Well hope we hear from her again.
Angie if your lurking come in and tell us your doing ok.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Boy, Melissa certainly does not realize what she is missing out on, having a mommy like you. I love ya!!!! I know several people who are legends in their own minds!!

Hey Nilla, I can relate, I have two brothers and neither speaks to me, not that i'd want them to. Pretty sad, though. Congrats on 17 days smoke free! I wish I could get my hubby to quit. Nasty habit.

wvgal_dana said...

Bellle wouldn't do to have a "flat footed falcon chick".

Mema Jo said...

DANA Sharon asked about anyone hearing from Angie & I think my response was on last night's blog. She didn't blog much due to her work schedule. She used to come on the blog for a short time after working, read the comments and then say Hi to all of us. We all remember her well & also her interest in the eagles. Twice she came up from Winchester to meet us & visit the tree. None of us have had any word from her for a long time. I had mentioned that my emails include her & they aren't returned.
Any special reason you are asking - like have you heard from her?

belle_wv said...

Nilla, you give me 5 minutes with your 'too good' gal and I'll have her straight! Might leave a bruise or two, if that's ok with y'all??

wvgal_dana said...

No Jo just remembered that some was asking if anyone had heard from her. You had said few days ago you emailed her but hadn't heard anything back. Nillabean and I were just talking on phone last night, and thought of her.

floralgirl said...

Who got it?

belle_wv said...

Dana - that's a tongue twister! flat footed falcon... wait til it fledged... then it would be a flat footed falcon fledgeling flying far fast

belle_wv said...

wax?

floralgirl said...

Not yet?

belle_wv said...

Wow I did it I think! I'll send it to ya Sharon :)

glo said...

OK WEll I'm back too. That is one absentee Dad there on Frodo cam .Belle You making that up or is that true why Frieda rolls the eggs? Just wondering if we have a neat piece of info here or just a creative mind LOL

floralgirl said...

Yep, it's you Belle- you'll be smooth as silk!

wvgal_dana said...

Belle bet you can't say what you wrote 10 times real fast lol.

Mema Jo said...

Angie has a younger brother - Nilla & I both met him on the 1st trip to NCTC. He was moving to TX (right Nilla?) That's all I know.

belle_wv said...

Glo - nope not making that up - I believe I learned that somewhere a long time ago back in my biology days... been many moons, but I believe it is true :)

wvgal_dana said...

NILLA NILLA this is bfrocker 10 calling NILLA (letting off mic.) BREAKER BREAKER Come back in NILLA .... (letting off mic.)

belle_wv said...

Maybe Angie is our 'anon' lurker and we've hurt her feelings? Gee I hope not! If so, come back Angie, we can agree to disagree sometimes, can't we? Life's too short and eagles fledge too quickly to stay away over things that in the end don't change, really.

Mema Jo said...

GLO
If Belle said it, you can
BEST BELIEVE BELLE

I did read (& mentioned it earlier)
that if it is a BAD EGG... Freida would roll it right out of the nest!
Smart Bird....

belle_wv said...

MITS said...

NILLA you have mail.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Glo, you've got mail!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I had to let my stinking dogs out and missed out on the wax. Belle said I could have her wax. Wow, what a friend!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Glo, what is the new address for cafe press? I need to subscribe!
