I seem to always come in the door when the new thread is there. Just came home from a meeting...Need to go over to see what I misses during the last 2 hours.
Thanks Steve.

MITS said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good afternoon. I am watching Buta covered with straw, Belle (or Liberty) froze in time in our nest (ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL - OUR NEST!) and that beautiful eagle in Florida. God is sooo good!

Steve Chase said...

Live feed is up.

MITS said...

Eagle flew out and back in FLA.

NillaWafer said...

I have just sent a e-mail to our local news paper in Hagerstown , Md about the cam being on To: bulletins@herald-mail.com
Hello, Just a note to say the Bald Eagle nest in Shepherdstown, WV is up and running live 24/7 now. The 2 adult eagles named Liberty & Belle have been in the nest building and getting it ready for the season. Last year they sucessfully raised 3 eaglets we named Big Boy 1st born....Ms InBetween 2nd born and Lil Spunky the last born and they all grew and fledged, which is rare as usually the smallest doesnt survive. This is beautiful and new home page of NCTC which includes a blog link of which we have watched last season and became friends n family. Hope you enjoy as much as we have....http://www.fws.gov/nctc/cam/ Thank You, The Eagle Momsters of NCTC , Nilla Attached is 2 pictures i took yesterday of both Liberty & Belle in the nest.

MITS said...

I'm not getting live-feed either:(:(:(. Nilla, still cam will not be working til tomorrow, I think that is what Steven said....relax we have the whole season ahead of us, don't want you blowing a gasket...lower that BP.

Anonymous said...

Well that was an exciting few minutes. Company had just left and I was about to take a nap when I saw New Thread and Steve's comment about the live cam running even though still 30 sec refresh was stuck. Got there in time to enjoy them a few quick secs. Hit Fraps but it didn't record it for me :-(.

I need a nap for tonight and I also want to watch for either cam now. Oh my what to do!!!

nilla settle down, neither cam is working at the moment but they BOTH will be...its just a few glitches still getting worked through

NillaWafer said...

Ok someone please send me the real player free d/l page.. i uninstalled mine thinking i needed to upgrade or something and put it in google and cant find the free d/l Ohhhhh look at the news really snowing up near Cumberland and Savage mt on rt68 going towards Morgantown

MITS said...

Nilla, thought I had sent it to you??????

Steve Chase said...

Yup, live feed is back down. I expect we'll have a lot of these ups and downs for a bit yet. Our folks working on this are also supporting 200 staff people and their day to day computer needs...

MITS said...

Thanks, for the update, Steven

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Check out the Jeffersoncam and you can see what a mess Bluefield is right now.

Anonymous said...

Steve, this bunch of momsters/bloggers do know how to show our patience..We're behind you 100%.
I was hoping that at the end of last season when you mentioned that a new staff person for the cam operations was coming on that he/she was ours alone. I know, I was dreaming.
We'll "get r done" and be up & running very soon .. Yesterday & today just shows you how spoiled we are about having our Liberty & Belle eagle fix!
Just keep us updated as you have been doing.

If you go back to the main blog page, under links you will find "Video Feed Info". That will lead you to where you need to go.

Anonymous said...

Nilla & Dana you have email with the links.

Gotta go look at Buta Buta's video.
Thanks Nilla...I read the cub updates this morning & Mits said she probably had her exam today - seems to be every Thursday. I want to see also if AJC.com has a video-their's are usually longer then Atlanta's...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thanks for the heads up on Buta Buta Nilla. That was so precious! I so love that little girl!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

AJC's video is always much better, longer and narrated compared to Zoo Atlanta's.

MITS said...

Oh, now I see where it is...DANA, JO AND NILLA you have mail...SHARON,my address for Bluefield is a little different from yours, its the one I have had in my favorites for a long time.

NillaWafer said...

I know Sharon we need to figure out away to get our hands on her...lol did you see her little tongue and teeth?? Adorable i checked on the bad boy and he is asleep up in the corner Mei is asleep stretched out on the floor ...Going to check the mail BRB

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mits, there is one with a bigger screen and one with a smaller screen.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

MITS said...

ROFLMAO!!

I was out of the office this afternoon when Steve put up the new thread and said the "live feed is up". He was like "Hello, the live feed is up".....and everyone was like "no, my cam is still stuck" and he is like "Hello, the live feed is up"....go back and re-read it all....


S000, did everyone find the link ok for the live feed on the blog page? Nilla, there is also a download there for real player...

NillaWafer said...

http://www.picture.com/contest/enter.asp?Suite=3671-318352 Ok i found this contest in a local news paper for pictures and a light bulb went on inside my head ... WE CAN send a good picture of the eagles and maybe win a 500.00 cash prize.. Who knows stranger things have happened and they are beautiful and all our pictures are ... Whacha think am i nuts??? Oh by the way the contest is pput on by The Smithsionian..

NillaWafer said...

Yeah Paula i finally got real player d/l thanks.... Getting bak to the contest there is no entry fee its free heck and the money can go to the camera because of course we would win....

NillaWafer said...

I am setting here laughing because when Thelma reads that message she is thinking yeah Louise the lights on but nobodies home... lol

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yes Mits and the wind is whipping. It is just bitter here. At the moment I have only one of my dogs on the bed but this is probably going to be a "4-Dog Night"! Mattie is not staying with me tonight so I will just have to hug up to my dogs to stay warm. Andrew is stuck at his friends house because the roads are so icy.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I think the contest is a wonderful idea, Nilla!

Anonymous said...

Go for the contest, Nilla.

Anonymous said...

Good luck picking one of the photos, Nilla. Like you said - they're all
good. Is it limiting the subject matter any?

Anonymous said...

BTW, I posted 2 pictures on my blog today, it shows the nest back in July and now...it is really neat, you can see a BIG difference in the nest.

http://eagletmomsters.blogspot.com/

NillaWafer said...

The contest subject matter is Americana..... The Natural World... meaning animals and that caught my attention... and afew others. You do not need to be aprofessional photographer to send it is open to amateur pics... The winning photo's will be published in Smithsionian Magazine and the web site in 2007... So snap all those pictures of Liberty N Belle and we just might bring home the M-O-N-E-Y

NillaWafer said...

Think about any of the last years pictures and maybe we have one that i can send... This picture has to be the best of our eagles..

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

My personal favorite is the one where all three little gray babies were looking up at Belle (who was at about 12 o'clock) and she was feeding them. I have always thought that was the sweetest, they were so trusting of their Mommy and Daddy.

Ok so lets put our heads together and pick what we think is the best and also wait afew days for when the new cam comes up and maybe get a great picture of Liberty & Belle in the nest.. not to say they arent all great to us.

Is it still snowing, Sharon?

That's a thought Nilla. Maybe a picture to enter from this season.

Paula has anything come of putting the eaglet merchandice in stores, nctc shop or anywhere?

NillaWafer said...

It has come to my attention about the Christmas Dinner planned for Dec16th at 6pm at the Clarion is not a very good time for many who would like to attend. Many do not like to drive at night myself included, so can we make it a afternoon lunch instead, so many who are traveling a distanse dont need to travel late at night? And this being the Christmas season the Clarion is a very busy place for dinner and reservations maybe required but for lunch i would not think so.. Just some thoughts to make it convenient for everyone..Maybe Steven could attend the lunch?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Paula, I just looked outside and it does not appear to be snowing. It is 15° and windchill is supposed to be -5 to -15° tonight. I am so grateful for a warm home!

NillaWafer said...

Sharon have you came up with aplan as to how we are going to get our hands on Buta Buta and bring her home??? I am laughing looking at the panda Belle got me 1st time i was in hospitol Buta is bigger than this one now.

Anonymous said...

No, Dana, I haven't had any luck yet. Steve was checking on the NCTC shop, but I guess it's either a "no" or he still hasn't received an answer. Sandra has checked several shops in Shepherdstown, but no luck yet. I am going to try several others.


Nilla,
Send an email through the momsters group and post a new time that people wish to attend! Also, put the time that everyone wants on here also. Or just send it off the email I sent earlier....

NillaWafer said...

Oh we need to send prayers as i heard on the news a tornado hit over in UK outside of London i hope our girls are ok... very strange weather lots of damage

Anonymous said...

Nilla,
A thought on lunch at the Clarion....you may want to find out what menu they are serving at lunch...

Anonymous said...

Going to watch ER

NillaWafer said...

Ok Paula was thinking around 1pm thats enough time for eating and yacking and getting home before really late & dark for those traveling mountain roads n high traffic areas... But everyone must agree...

Anonymous said...

It would be better for me if you have it around 1:00. When Jennifer & I went for lunch this fall they had a full menu I think it needs to be checked out. Sandra may be able to do that for us if the 1:00 hr is good for her.

Good Morning Suzanne and Megan...it is very cold here 19 degrees. Snow still laying around..very windy so I'm sure it feels colder than 19.


Suzanne glad your drive in was good. Hope you can make the lunch. I think they are going for 1pm Sat. Dec 16 (Jo this time I didn't write Nov. lol)

Megan I hope your able to stay warm. I think of you often in that cold. Megan will you be able to go to the lunch?

Anonymous said...

Morning, Dana. Hard staying warm sometimes, but I was smart and cut up a lot of greens yesterday so I don't have to do it this morning. Have to make another delivery today though, and hang a garland outside on someone's stair railing.Suzanne, I also love shopping online. The item I ordered this morning ships free, can't argue with that. I love the holidays, but worked retail for years and boy people really forget about their Xmas spirit when they are shopping sometimes.

Working Saturday til noon selling wreaths, might be able to make lunch at 1, depends on what I get made today. Figure this is my last really good weekend for selling wreaths, want to have as many made to sell as I can.
