Hmmm, beginning to think wvuag is someone we know!

MITS said...

She has been sitting in that nest for a looong time, I e-mailed Lynda to see when we might know about the eggs.

MITS said...

Now she is up and about the nest.

MITS said...

Doing a little preening.

MITS said...

LYNDA AT FLORIDA SAYS SHE THOUGHT SHE SAW SOME INCUBATING ACTIVITY ABOUT 90 MINUTES AGO....BUT SHE IS NOT SURE, BUT THINGS ARE LOOKING GOOD!

MITS said...

MAN...THAT GEORGE IS FAST OUT AT KENT.

Yes, he is quick, Mits. Just saw him again after you.

2 eagles in FL

I wonder if incubation becomes more serious after one egg, or do they start is right away?

MITS said...

Good question, PAULA, bet LYNDA would know!

MITS said...

Yes, Norma, we have been watching them this a.m.

Just give me that stick, I'll do it myself!

MITS said...

ROFLMAO...WATCHING THEM IN FLA. SHE IS GOING TO KICK HIS BUTT OUT OF THERE SOON.

Anonymous said...

I wouldn't think there is an egg in that nest right now...too much activity...remember how they curl their talons in and walk carefully around the egg?

MITS said...

Calm down, honey, I'll fix it!

MITS said...

I think her talons are going to be around his neck in a minute.

Good Morning Eagle friends just read comments on this page.

Sorry went up street to sister-in-laws Saturday and her 5 steps put me in a set-back.

Then Sunday everyone came around to draw names for Christmas.

Besides busy my leg doesn't like me.

Wow ty Maine is beautiful.
Didn't see George have Kent up now.
Florida is great she wants that nest how she wants it.

Ed has dr. appt. afternoon so won't be in then. Try later.

Don't know who the person is that was # 1 in. I'm beginning not to give a care if they can't tell us. I think they like teasing people.

Crap wrote all this and "forgot I have to SIGN IN !!"

Suzanne glad it's not doing here what it's doing in Maine.

Has anyone seen if Buta Buta is trying to walk yet?

Norma that person isn't going to talk back to you. They didn't before a ways back. When you ask them almost the same question. You are just the nicest lady Norma for someone not to speak back to you.

Good late morning!
Lots of action on here this morning
Need to put up all these active eagle cams - squirrel and snow!

MITS said...

Have to go out for the rest of the afternoon...TTUL!

Anonymous said...

I wonder like someone else said. If they can move the cam so we would be able to see inside the nest in Florida. I haven't seen them move it in that direction if they can.

Your probably right Norma "he is probably in construction".

Lun Lun is washing Buta Buta and Buta Buta acts like she wants to get away from Mom doing that.

Wow Mom just picked her up "not a stick of buter" anymore.

I bet if there was sound we would be hearing a thing or two. Mom just layed her down. Buta is still wiggling.

Okay cam watchers, good morning all.. Hope everyone is having a great Monday, have to blog and run...eating quick lunch...very busy, great weekend, now have lots of special orders to make.business is good, which is great, but this chick is tired...and has too many blisters on her hands. HEY Norma... GO WVU!!!! BBL

Anonymous said...

Very glad to hear that your business is booming, Megan!
Norma When you read all the comments from you bloggers, you feel like you were right there seeing it all! The wind in FL reminds me of the British Columbia nest of BigSis and Lil'Bro.

Anonymous said...

I am off to work now. I did get some FRAPS of the fL eagles. i will send it out tonight. Enjoy your day with the eagles...How absolutely beautiful!!!!

Anonymous said...

Buta Buta doesn't really fit up under Lun Lun's chin anymore when she holds her. She's a 10 pounder now.

Anonymous said...

I must agree with you Mema Jo. After watching Lun Lun pick Buta up go to the other end on the concret. Then she tried to wash Buta. Sliding Buta on the concrete from one end to the other. Then Lun Lun got into the nest bed and got in every postion I think I have ever seen her in.
We now have a settle Lun Lun with 20 lb Buta Buta nursing. (:

Anonymous said...

Florida eagle is "putting MORE sticks in nest" as if she doesn't have enough. We'll never be able to see the eggs or the eaglets.

Anonymous said...

I am assuming that it is Tai up in the tree on Cam 2. There is a Dec 1 update on the panda page about Tai and his training. I really will not like it when he has to go back to China - I am just thankful we also have Buta Buta to watch. They are really expecting her first steps very soon.

Your right Mema Jo that is Tai in the tree. lol

Hi all,

Hope you all have a wonderful and happy thanksgiving celebration.

Just a quick pop in , in the middle of cooking dinner !!!!

Terrible weather here , we are in the middle of awful rain and gales, winds up to 70--80 miles an hour, thank goodness I havn't lost any roof tiles this time.

Just got in from the hospital, as I have been to the breast clinic, yet again,, but this time got the all clear, all except for one tiny little lump in the right breast that's benign thankfully, so no more opps for me for a while, had 5 already didn't really want another one.
LOU, is also at the hospital to for the very same thing, so I'm worrying about her,, her clinic doesnt have a ONE STOP service and she will have to wait a week for her results, poor love, but I will keep you all posted on her progress.

WELL the kitchen is calling, must go and feed the rabble.
Speak soon my friends.

Love
Chrissy
XXXXXXXXX

Anonymous said...

Chrissy great to hear from you. I'll be praying for your roof and for "Lou". It's always hard waiting on results.

So glad you drop in for awhile been missing the UK gals. Send my love to Lou and Doreen and YOU.

Important please read and email a response to me at my home

I have found a Beautiful Adult Eagle Queen size Fleece Throw It will cost me $40 to buy I can use Eagle Cam money from this months check from Cafe Press to re-imburse that expense IF You want to run with this idea.

I am wanting to raffle it off for the Eagle Cam. I need your input on how best to accomplish this. They have 3 left today and I could pick it up tomorrow if you all think this is a good idea.

I will be waiting for ideas How to conduct this. I personally would want anyone with access to the info about the throw ro be able to purchase tickets towards it. We would need a place to send the money. A PO box that comes with a husband would be best LOL.


But am open to suggestions. I would love to be able to draw the winner when I come in the Spring in front of others there and if it is not a local winner we could use some of the proceeds to package and ship. I would think at like $2 a ticket we could raise $200 minimum on. Send any and all comments to me at home I want your input PLEASE

Hi everyone...temp at Port St. Lucie is 68° and wind gusts are 14mph.

Chrissy Beahan said...

Hi girls,
Thanks for all your good wishes and prayers,, as I said it's Lou that I'm worrying about at the mo cos she has to wait one week for her results.
Norma pet,,,,
I have had 5 opps for lumps over the past 10 years or so, the last one was the worst one as the lump had detached it's self from the breast and attached itself to one of my ribs, so that was a full opp not just a lump removeal and it was at Christmas to, I saw the specialist [Mr.Siva] on the Thursday morning and he phoned me Friday morning and said GET HERE NOW,,I'M WAITING FOR YOU. So you can imagine I was spooked, but that man has been my saviour, what an angel he is,, well needless to say, radiotherapy and time later, after the New Year, thats when all my problems really started, after I got out of ITU and was allowed home, I got pheumonia and went back in to hospital,let out again, then my liver went pear shapped, back in hospital, let out again then caught secondary pneumonia again back in you know where, and the I didnt pick up, and the Doctor gave me more tests and ERGO ended up with ME, but I'm one of the very luck ones I got through all that, and God is good,and there are a lot worse off than I will ever be, and I'm thankfull for that so as I say I count myself so very lucky.

Well that a potted history of Chrissy really.

Has anyome heard how Nilla and Sharon are, I'm so out of touch, I hope they are getting well, and Nilla is behaveing, bless her.

Well it's my bed time now, and I didnt get much sleep last night so going to cash in on an early night and get some zzzzzzzzzz's

Love to all,,Take care my friend, Speak soon
Lots of Love
Chrissy

OK First thing I did was to check my email when I got home. Does No response mean No interest, or have you not read the Important post I sent while at work today.

I am not at a computer there anymore but requested internet access while others were on their smoke break to let you all know aobut this. If I don't have the info and make the purchase tomorrow I am sure they will be gone. This too is Eagle Country...the right 3 people need to see them and they are out of there. Will check again later. Please don't leave me guessing and hanging here Tell me to forget it in an email iF that is what your response would be. that tells me you saw it and are responding.

Suppertime. I will check in a while, and will also get a couple of Fraps from FL this morning ready for you.

MITS said...

No classes today, Norma, Wednesday and Friday this week and next. I saw Chrissy's post, she has had a tough year. I went for all my stuff today, mammo, bone scan and a ultrasound somewhere that I will keep to myself, this is a family-blog:):):).

MITS said...

Norma, you have wax.

Good evening, my eagle friends! I hope everybody has had a wonderful day. I got to watch a minute or 2 of my Buta Buta, watched Tai for a minute and got to see the eagle laying in the Florida nest.

Looks just like the eagle on the Fleece throw LOL. OK I took pictures. have to reboot the computer to read the card. I will then up load it to somewhere so you can see it. And email it out also. I took several. its Queen size and the eagle is smack in the middle. has a fish in talons...leggings. it is fleece and does have some folds as i just ook it out of the package, but you will be able to see it OK I think. Oh Daphne Loves it. She already thinks its hers!!!! .She is so wrong But I will share. it is machine wash on warm or cold, and tumble dry low! Ok BRB

Well Mits, I think it was rejecting the pic I had tried to put up! The victorian house didn't cause a problem, but then I changed it to a christmas tree and house scene, so tonight I reloaded an old pic I had used before -- the eagle here-- and wham, let me right in and let me post!

Anonymous said...

Hi Vicky glad to see you again. You know alot of places won't let their employees say, "Merry Christmas" it has to be "Happy Holidays". Maybe the blogger cop doesn't like christmas lights.

I say it's his tough luck but if he was keeping you out. I'm glad you figured it out and got IN HERE "WELCOME BACK HOME".

Going to get my mail

Around here the shop owners are all saying "Merry Christmas" this year. They certainly didn't last year though. There has been quite a lot in the news about that, and I think MOST of us want to celebrate Christmas, and have no problem with the word. The rest can have a Happy Holiday. I know several Jewish people who have no problem wishing me a Merry Christmas and I certainly do wish them a Happy Hannuka.

After you look at the pictures Please do respond to me. I would probably wait til after the First of Jan to proceed with how to organize the raffle etc. There has beent he suggestion of an auction, but it would probably bring in less, yet would be easier to organize. it would also automatically eliminate those who would easily get a $2 raffle ticket but back out of an Auction fairly soon because they simply don't have the funds to keep bidding. I am sort of an Include Everyone kind of person if I possible can.
