Oh my am i first weeeeeeeeee going to bring othersssssssssss
Thanks Steven your the best.. Those high n mighty better watch it messin with our blog master .. they dont want abunch of us eaglemomsters after them..lol
inappropriate How can something that has touched the lives of people around the world young and old be inappropriate. Didn't you just hold a conference there on Nature Deficit Disorder Was that deemed appropriate? OR shall we just let the next generation slouch by the TV then or whatever game they are playing on their computer etc. and not continue to give them a reason to get out and enjoy some of what NCTC and Nature in general has to offer.
Time for each and every school teacher who has been a part of this to get their class and their classe's parents involved. We love it, we have kept it alive duirng the lull which may or may not be necessary for the next generation BUT there are many a young person who also learned and enjoyed much because of this Blog and the webcam associated.
There was also a cubscout troop following this site AND this BLOG. Way too much proof sitting here that this BLOG and its eagle cam has made a very posotive and very approriate difference in many a life!!!
So where do we write?
WELL SAID GLO BUG!!!!!! APPLAUSE!!! APPLAUSE!!!! Geezzz this blog has kept me out of trouble heck i might have been surfin the web gettng into trouble .. nekkid on cam and wigglin my toes, God knows what else yikes...LMAO Maybe i dont say it a dipolmatic as you (SP) as you but those burrowcratic dingalings need to know how this has brought so many friends together and made us smile and feel so much heartfelt love and tears when "OUR " KIDS FLEDGED!!!
OKAY, does this mean our comments in this blog are inappropriate? OR the blog is inappropriate in general because it links to the NCTC cam page and is not something the Gov. has decided they want to be connected with. I mean I realize we have veered from the topic of eagles occassionally, LOL.. but we seem to be a fairly harmless group, hope we haven't become an embarassment...
Floralgirl,
Government regulations are hard to understand. Who knows who the heck thought up that regulation!
It probably is not an "approved use of time", or "not a necesary site to be able to access" or "not an approved government site" or "not up to government website regulations", blah blah blah, would be my guesses. We all know that is not so!
So, until that gets changed, we will just wait for our new evening thread!
Write on, Glo. Yea, where do we write?
Oh and thanks for the new thread Steve :)
Floral,
Have you gone to
www.eagletmomsters.com
yet? Was wondering how it loaded on your dialup.
YES, thanks Steve for keeping this blog current and allowing us to blog endlessly with one another.
WOW, can't believe those Brisbane chicks! They look like birds now.
All i want to say is we here have used this blog as a friendship in times of need for a kind word. During illness... a birth.. shared our lives in many special ways.. laughed til we had tears ... and cryed real tears for the extreme emotions of "OUR" eagle family we developed watching them from eggs to magificent creators of God take off soaring into the heavens above.
They are blocking all blogspot sites without review.
We have requested that they unblock the eaglecam blog, but they are using a contractor to make the determination. Let's give them a few days to do the right thing.
If they still don't unblock, I'll let you know who might be contacted with complaints.
Ok, Steve, we can sit tight. Please do let us know if any action is needed on our part. I think you can see that you have all of our support!
OK Thanks Steve We can hang in there and wait for the info...and if need be we can surely do some writing too.
Those falcons are becoming little ledge lodgers!
Wanting to cause no one any problems; I will await after typing this for the news of whether this blog will or will not continue.
Sorry Department of Interior if anything inappropriate was said. I will say I have learn't things of animals, fish, and birds that I did not know before. I have learn't more appreciation for creatures and the environment that I never realized. Things that are needed to be concerned about and try to help more with the care of the earth, air, rivers and streams, to even trees. Things that can ruin or help our environment.
Just as telephone conversations get off the subject of course we here did too. If guide lines would have been set by the Dept. of Interior I am sure we would have honored your request.
If someone sent the blog or part of this blog to the Dept. Of Interior I am very sorry and sad for you. For it could have only been through jealousy.
We have invited everyone and many people have acted on things through their government. That before this blog they never would have gotten involved in; ie Endangered Species, Forest to be cut down, windmills on precious mountain tops, re-induction of animals into different areas, hurt animals that can or can't be released, learning where monies come from to go to different areas that involve the Dept. of Interior. Learning about how hard and difficult people we never knew before but have been given the gift to know or know of. That we have learn't just how hard they work doing a job that seems to be a special part in their hearts and lives. I once worked in government and never met people that cared so much about their interest in their jobs. Most government I worked with only worked to earn the pay check. They never went out of their way to share and give a gift that the bloggers on here have been given. Yes subjects may have gotten where someone would like to bring attention and stop this blog.
I ask you to please see through that and feel and comprehend what we learn't through not being able to actually get out to different places and see. Due to illness and aging and some peoples time that only allowed the internet and this blog to bring it to them.
I want to thank you Dept.of Interior for the growing experience of our earth and animals needs. That I never would have known or appreciated for me to try to find ways I can now help.
Kinda funny, ya know? Whod've thought that Steve would be in blogger jail!
Thanks, Steve.
Yah well we are gonna do our darndest to Bail him out and we have had some experiencewith blogger jail.
Nice job Dana I don't think our subject matter is really the issue...BLOGGING is the in thing to do probably like who knows just web surfing and personal emails a few years ago. Companies and the government must think productivity is down because their people are blogging instead of working...well All of us can certainly support the FACT that Steve works very hard for NCTC, and has NOT spent an excessive amount of time on the BLOG. He gives us threads and wonderful information, but as far as a personal BLOG it could be counted on probably one hand over the period of 9 months or so....He is hard at work inspiring us and all who have read this Blog with the love of Nature and especially the cam we have had the priviledge of watching. He has given us a positive well appreciated view of a government agency that many of us have NOT experienced before. He has done nothing wrong and neither have we. His time on the BLOG has never been excessive or abused in anyway he has represented NCTC in no way but totally professionally and responsibly from square one. The BLOGS are all here for any to see. His contributions have been nothing but appropriate and informative the whole way. I certainly hope whoever makes the decision that this BLOG is very worthwhile and appropriate in its function to NCTC and their Eagle Cam in particular.
Hats off to Steven! We appreciate all you do for us and how you are looking out on our behalf! We certainly don't want them having the wrong opinion of us! But I ditto everything you've already said about this blog. It has been a wonderful blessing to me! If there's anything we can do Steven, you just let us know!
I understand completely what Steven is telling us, but somehow we will find away to communicate, its not that we are inappropriate, tee-hee, we certainly are at times, but its the government, (I worked for the gov many years ago). Let's just take a deep breathe and wait for Steven to let us know and then we will gently slap the DOI, silly, if we have too. If I'm not afraid of osama bin laden, the DOI doesn't scare me, as a matter of fact I'm trying to fight NBC, so they can just get behind them, I'm in the mood for a fight. Thank you!!!:):):):)
BTW, thanks for the new thread, STEVEN
LOl and loving everyone's response here!
Watch out DOI!
Of course, the Frodo chicks gotta poop on the ledge, too!
Folks,
Nothing you have said on the blog has been inappropriate.
This is merely a lousy bureaucratic thing where a few (and I do mean just a few) unsavory employees (out of 80,000 DOI employees) have abused the internet and caused this type of blocking to occur.
I too think its stupid, but maybe they'll surprise us.
thanks for your support.
Thanks, Steve. You definitely deserve our support. You have been wonderful.
Thank you Steven for your words to us here. You and NCTC has made a difference in our lives. I and others thank you all for that.
WE DO SUPPORT YOU STEVEN
Thanks for clarifying that, Steven, we really appreciate all you have done for us eagle fanatics. Nite Paula and all other lurkers!!
Night, Floralgirl!
There are always a few bad crabs in the bushel:):)I just want to say how much I enjoy everybody's company.
Me also Mits....
I'm looking at falcon cam and I can't believe that little falcon can fly ... are they on the endangered list?
He is if he tries to fly!!
Dana,
The Falcons in Australia have never been endangered, as they don't leave the continent and they didn't have a problem w/ DDT down there.
The ones in the U.S. were on the endangered list, they came off the list in 1999.
Here is a link to the FWS page about them:
http://www.fws.gov/endangered/
WE BELIEVE IN YOU, STEVEN! You know rules and regulations happen because somebody somewhere has abused the system in one way or another. Things will happen the way they are supposed to and we will just have to have acceptance of it. We have other avenues if it comes to that and it will be all good. I have faith that we will stay united wherever we go!!
I am not going to get my panties in a wad over this. It's all gravy baby!!!!!!!
Glo, well said!!
UNITED WE STAND!
MITS, ROFLMAO!!!!
Ok now that all this is clarified. Sista Thelma i got your card today and it was so funny thanks. Hey i just saw some gazilles on the africam by the pond. I saw Fatty the other night well the top of his head out of the water.. I am so glad for now we have this, but Mits calm down no need to open a can of whoopass on anyone yet..lol
This blog has to be great entertainment sometimes for lurkers!
Oh Paula i want to order a tee shirt but we all know i have theses big puppies and just how exactly do they run?? Is an X large really one or should i order a 2 X to be safe if it shrinks after washing?
Wonder where falconette #3 is.
Lun Lun just can't seem to get comfortable with Buta Buta!
If I am counting correct, Buta Buta will be named on December 15. You think I should call the powers that be in China and give them my suggestion for her name?
Ohhhhhhh i just tuned into frodo and it made me dizzy.. 2 on the ledge i just cant watch them thats way to high up and suurounded by water...
Nilla,
If you are coming to the Open House, you can just try one on! Honestly, I washed the sample I received...hang on...Ok just tried it on...feels the same size to me, maybe just the tiniest bit of shrinkage...you know, like after you have washed a pair of jeans, then you put them on and they feel a touch snug.
well wouldnt that depend on what Buta Buta means in Chinese?? Even if they are words in that language.. Those kids are sleeping on that ledge good Lord...
Wow,
Ya'll have got to check out that link I just put up for Dana...
At the very bottom of the page, from the USFWS site, is a link to the NCTC eagle cam and the Blog!
(Shhh, don't let DOI know!)
Sharon,
Did you google buta buta in chinese :)
well Paula i want it big as i am going to wear aturtle neck and put the tee over it so i have long sleeves on.. what about the baking nothing said about that but i really would love to bake somethings as i know we can make a good bit off of bread and pies and cake?? They would sale fast honestly.. with money going to NCTC of course
Nilla,
I got approval to sell the items from the website at the Open House. I appreciate your offer, but I think we better leave it at that. I could certainly use some help at the table and I certainly wouldn't turn down anything you could bring to snack on!
BTW, don't you owe some pies to Steve, the guard, Todd, etc?
If you want the Tshirt to wear over a turtleneck, I would get the 2xl. The shirts fit pretty true to size.
Now, if you all would have paid attention when I first named Buta Buta, you would know that my translation of what Buta Buta means was -- Land O' Lakes! :):):)
wax
Okie Dokie..... sounds ok to me... Jo's apple pie is on my list...
I still want my FedEx'ed scrambled pie! :):):)
yup but shhhhhhhhhhhhhh be quiet Steven might be lurkin its asecret...lol wasnt saying nothing about them...
When they were naming Tai, they (the Chinese) gave 5 names to choose from..I know I didn't vote for Tai, can't remember what the other names were, but I like the name Tai now.
I'm getting hungry!
Good Night Everyone! Talk to you all tomorrow.
yeah i remember that Sharon but does it really mean that? Oh those chinese will come up with some names so much different from what we could have... She is Buta Buta to us.. well i call her Buta Ball
LOL at Mits!
Are you coming to the Open House? Bringing Baltimore Berger cookies? Hmmmm?
Niters Mits gettin day light over at the pond you will be back
Hey, Floralgirl owes me cookies!
i swear i was in Baltimore couple wknds ago and never saw Berger cookies.. but had some fantastic crab soup at a little market deli..
I am going to bed now.
Just saw falconette #3.
Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feathers and furs.
I had a yucky nightmare last night so I am hoping for sweet eagle dreams for myself too!
Apple pie sounds good, Nilla. I should make one to use up the apples off of my tree.
All 3 kids are on the cam at the ledge lodgers nest
Showing 3 LARGE chicklets in aussieland
The Land O' Lakes I was referring to was butter. You know they say that when they are born, they come out like a stick of butter. Get it! :):):) Buta Buta!
Night Sharon, sweet eagle dreams to you!
Oh i baked those apple dumlins n piie last week and was the best even crust so flakey.. The raspberry pie i took down home , didnt last long..
I know SHaron, LOL=butter=buta buta. But I wonder how they say butter in Chinese?
Nilla,
Love raspberry pie. 3 berry pie is good too, raspberry, strawberry and blueberry I think.
Ok Paula just go to the site and order the tee?
well when i was little use to go up to Smithsurg n stay with an aunt she would bake me squash pies yummm yum taste like pumpkin pie... fresh pumpkin pie is so much better tha canned
Chinese translation is...<^&*%$>**
Ok, so I found the chinese translater. Butter in Chinese looks like 2 little square boxes right next to each other...so...It looks like Sharon is right! Buta Buta! (butter comes in a box, 2 square boxes, buta buta...get it!?)
Nothing going on in Africa..you know me to well Sister Louise:):):)
Yup, Nilla, you can go ahead and do that. It will add shipping, but I will refund that for you since you will be getting it at the Open House.
Good answer Paula. Thanks for backing up my BS!!!! :):):)
Back to 2 chicks down under.
Oh my would have been so great to make like a nice basket with a loaf of bread and a homemade cake with some jellies good Butter and a like bottle of juice of some kind and raffle it off... like for a dollar a ticket man we would have made akillin !!!!! LOL this is the mind of a woman who was past president of a woman aux and had to come up with ways of making money at times..lol
LOL at Sharon! You are as bad as Mits! Or are you the original?
OK, folks, got to hit the hay. I will not be checking back in (Well maybe just for a minute or two!)
My Africam just quit working.
I think there are 2 falconettes lying side by side at the corner.
Okay, really going to bed now! Good night all!
Mits definitely taught me, Paula!
Paula i am ordering should i check yes to thsi is my shippig adress? or what?

Well you got # 100
wow 300 350 on last blog and 100 on thsi one i can hardly contain myself.. Those beautiful birds setting on that thorn bush
I hope Steven can straighten things out...
I am watching the younguns in Brisbane and it looks like 'take off' could be any time for all three.
At least two have been perched on the wall looking longingly into space below them, and I'm sure all three are making short flights on the ledge...appearing and disappearing suddenly within the 10 second refresh period.
The one that has lost all the white fluff and looks exactly like Frieda might have taken off as I write...it's that close.
Have a great Tuesday,
Jim
Hi Ya Jim yes we know makes me really nerves to watch them.. Africam has some beautiful birds setting on thorn bushes.. But the sound keeps going in and out.. Well i need to scoot over to my space and work on my web page its so pretty i got have it decorated and music... Take care Jim
Good night, Nilla, don't forget to get your rest...
The two most active eyasses have disappeared from the pic for quite a while...???...and the still white fluff patched one is flapping his wings and I saw him make a short flight on camera...
Jim
