Everybody talks about the eagle in the osprey nest at Blackwater NWR, thought I'd take a look. You're right--there it is!

Yes, Steve those eagles at BW use that osprey platform a lot. Enjoying watching the WV eagles arrange their nest. Thanks to you and everyone at NCTC for all the work you do keeping the cam and blog going. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Hi Floralgirl! Are you ready for Christmas??

Hello Vicky!! AM I Ready for Christmas? LOL! NO!! Daughter home from school today, not feeling well, so I didn't get any shopping done, have to go to the mall and grocery store tomorrow. UGH!! BBL must make dinner.

You're NOT alone Missy!

LOL! Steve, did you think we were joshing you?!

So glad ya'll got to see our eagles today....and that Megan didn't burn her cookies!

Megan, the easiest way that I know of to save pics is from the 30 sec cam. Either right click and "save as", or when you put your cursor over the picture, click on the little diskette that says "save this image" and save it that way. The Fraps program no longer works on the live cam for live or still pictures.

Going out to finish my Christmas shopping...BBL.

Yeppers, they "cooked" our gooses as far as being able to "frap!"

Steve - your lucky you got an eagle because you could have gotten the vultures! Lisa has a great pic on the Osprey Nest site of them!

Merry Christmas to you Steve and your family

Anonymous said...

Mema Jo I think your going to have to give me another reminder closer to January 7th about the pandas.
My brain is in "overload now".

Anonymous said...

Well, Dana, I would not have remembered if it wasn't on Tai's cam page. I'll go ahead & place on my calendar & try to remember to remind everyone again...

Anonymous said...

Vicky you know how you said you would never finish something if you didn't have a deadline???????
Are you looking at Saturday Midnight?

Anonymous said...

Dana On the Momster Site is a Calendar. I also put a reminder on it for Jan 7 but I don't really think many people look at it. Paula had kept it updated with all the first fledges.

MITS said...

HO HO HO SANTA IS HERE, THAT'S GREAT DANA.

MITS said...

I am a Harry Potter fan! They have just announced the name of the 7th and final book - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows I need to get my name on the waiting list!
Anyone else like the Harry Potter novels?

MITS said...

Dana, he reminds me of the old Coca-Cola Santa Claus,

MITS said...

Dana, I'm just going to pretend he is holding my MAGGIE.

MITS said...

JO, I'VE NEVER READ ANY OF THE POTTER BOOKS

Anonymous said...

I usually can't put the Potter book down & read straight through! I love them - so much imagination in them.

Dana Until Mits said the
Coke Santa I just couldn't remember why he really did look familiar to me.
Keep on here for sure!!
