WOW...EARLY BIRD TODAY, THANKS, STEVEN FOR NEW THREAD..HAVE A GREAT DAY IN DC:):)

MITS said...

GLO, prayers for Erics' Dad

MITS said...

Thanks, Suz, I was going to tell them the same thing:):):) Going to get some java!!

MITS said...

Eagle did take a 5 min break in FLA this a.m.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning all my eagle friends.

Glo, lots of prayers will be going up for Eric's dad, Jim. You just never know what life is going to hand you on any given day. We don't realize how fortunate we are until we hear of someone like this.

To Nilla's post on the last page about the family lost in a fire. On November 20, 1980, my sister's 2 children, her best friend and her best friend's little girl all perished in a trailer fire. My thoughts and prayers are definitely with this family. I have to keep in mind that everything happens for a reason, sometimes we never know what the reason is but there is a reason. God bless them all! Don't mean to put the blog on a downer but just wanted to share that.

Morning again Suzanne, hi Mits, Sharon and Glo who went to take dogs a walk. Or the dogs went to take Glo for a walk.

Glo I said it on the other blog. Yes I will keep Eric's dad Jim in prayer. May Angels Watch Over Him and guide the doctors mine and hands.

Sharon God does allow things we sometimes understand. Then there are those happenings that just have no explanation. Yet "God is still in charge".

Thanks Suzanne for writing to Lisa about the spot in the eagle cam in BW.

No happenings in OUR nest as of this morning yet.

MITS said...

I was suprised to see that story on our DC channels, so very sad, my mind cannot wrap around why this would happen and why bad things happen to good people. I know that must have been a devasting loss for your family, Sharon.

Poor Ed he wants to know what I want for Christmas. He doesn't like any of my answers. So I have to figure out things for him to get me that I know he wants to get me. Does this make sense to you all??? It sure doesn't to me lol...

MITS said...

Its raining at the FLA nest.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Dana, my dad used to decide what he was going to get Andrew for Christmas, then talk Andrew into wanting that the most for Christmas!

MITS said...

Maks sense to me:):):).

Sharon you mentioned Mattie stays with you sometimes. She is a child of your sisters?

So sorry for you, your family, and your sister Sharon.

Sharon Ed isn't interested in talking me into wanting anything. He just wants a list and it better not be the things I already said.

Things that are just for me. I can't think of a thing!!!!! grrrr
What a problem to have huh.

MITS said...

Stopped raining in FLA.

MITS said...

Now your talking, Suz, Dana that would be great!!!

Oh I know Suzanne the old monitor was not LCD screen but flat it was 17 inch oh I got to see alot more. This new computer I brought off of Ed's cousin has an LCD screen that is 15inch. I thought this was my Christmas present but he says no! I told him this is too..He has final answer which is no, but I can't spend too much because this cost us at a time that wasn't convient. So have to watch the money...

OOPPPSsss just got call from doctors office changing my appt. today from 2:40pm to 11:30 this morning have to get my butt off the cams and eat and get ready.

I'll be in and out till time to go.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mattie is actually my great-niece (and she really is great too). She called me at midnight and again at 12:40 crying, wanting to come here with me, so I drove down the hill and picked her up. She went right to sleep after she got here. We live like 1/10 of a mile from each other, if that much.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

If I had someone asking me what I wanted for Christmas, I would definitely say a 19-inch flat screen monitor. Staples has one on sale for $189, which is quite the deal! Then I wouldn't be juggling that much for space to work through my cameras. :):):)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mei is eating something and Tai is bugging the crap out of her, crawling on her head and flipping over. What a little boy he is!

Morning, eagle friends.
Beautiful eagle at BW.

Anonymous said...

Sharon you probably said somewhere along the way but how old is Mattie?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Tai is giving his momma a fit. He just discovered the droppings off of what she is eating. Now he is sitting and eating and she is walking away. He is such a mess! :):):)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Dana, Mattie is 8 years old.

MITS said...

HE JUST PUTS A SMILE ON MY FACE:):):).

MITS said...

He looks like a "little budda" sitting there.

Hi Norma

Well we should certainly get to see into the BW eagle nest. Shouldn't we? neat

Anonymous said...

Speaking of Buta Buta oh my look how she has grown. So pretty ( :


Tai is a sweetie just has his antics. lol That's what makes him Tai.

Suz,
They put a box around it so the eagles would stop perching on the actual cam and knock it out of alignment!

MITS said...

Now I can post, past that wax thingy, congrats, Suzanne on you 50 lb ball of wax:).

Good Morning to All my Friends
Beautiful day here in the valley. My prayers are offered up for all of you and all of your needs in your daily lives.
Too many cams & too little screen is what I am hearing! lol
Be sure you read the Panda Cub update for yesterday. Buta Buta should be 96 days old today. #100 day is a coming & she'l have an official name which we won't worry about using!
I'm off to see if I can find some eagles...

MITS said...

SUZANNE, I think I read on the blog the other day when the eagles are in "our" nest we will just say something like EAGLE ALERT and that means it is NCTC nest, because we watch so many different ones.

MITS said...

All morning nest pic has been clear...eagle comes in and bam...bad pic???

MITS said...

Ok, a little better now.

MITS said...

It probably is Liberty, does look smaller.

SUZANNE
Get up the road & get that computer up!

Our new kids this season are still going to be able to hide from us on the edge of the nest around 7 or 8:00 position. Just like before when we can only see some tail feathers - It was most exciting & interesting when we were expecting the fledging to happen.

NORMA Do you have our cam up yet?

Anonymous said...

Mits - Hope you are taking pics for GLO because I got so excited seeing Liberty that I forgot all about it...

MITS said...

OOOOOPPPS, ME TOO...MAYBE SHARON OR PAULA ARE SNAPPING AWAY:):):)...

Anonymous said...

Anonymous said...

MITS said...
