Good Morning Everyone Woke up this a.m., hoping the VT situation was a bad dream, my heart just aches for the parents and families who lost their loved ones.

MITS said...

LOL!!! Jim, that's why I married a CPA.

CamsGrammy said...

Good morning everyone. Have been watching the news from VA Tech all morning and just had to trun the TV off and get away from it for a while. I see that our cam is still stuck.

movin said...

Amen to the V. Tech. comments! It doesn't seem real yet...this might be one of the first tragedies of this type that happened in a storm or shortly after. And I think the proximity of the two disasters is keeping my mind from locking onto the reality of the second one..... If that makes any sense.

I still don't have info on the cause or motivation...guess all we can do is pray for the people involved.

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, 9:25am and no one has reset the cam yet....

Time to take a hike out to the tree!

CamsGrammy said...

Just wondering if Steven is in or out of town?

movin said...

Or the power could be out where he is, or they could be working on the prob.........

Did we decide what the material is in the nest?? I want to suggest it's tumble weeds.

There is a news briefing on TV now on the VA Tech shooting. The shooter was a 23 yr old South Korean, English major. They THINK there was only 1 shooter, but they're not sure and are investigating. Haven't read back comments, but I glanced at them, and not sure this was mentioned. If it was, sorry for the dup entry.

CamsGrammy said...

Our prayers are going up for everyone involved at VA Tech. We have taken two of our dogs there for surgery and that is a beautiful campus.

kirine said...

I have a friend whose little brother is at VTech. Thankfully he's okay. The rumor on campus is that the shooter had a girlfriend that broke up with him. He went to talk to her and when she wasn't in, he killed the roommate, then the resident advisor and then kept looking for her.

What I want to know is how did someone on an education visa procure guns???

Suzanne said...

Very good question, Jennifer! I'd like to know that myself!!!

CamsGrammy said...

I think we all know that if someone wants a gun that bad that there are plenty of ways for someone to get one and the bad thing is that there are plenty of people to supply them.

movin said...

See chicks at Channel Isles and BW feeding.

paula eagleholic said...

Eating at BW - 2 Osprey at Osprey cam

CamsGrammy said...

I have been checking in on the Maine site every once in a while and the wind is finally starting to slow down a bit. I feel so sorry that the mom that has been faithfully hanging in that nest and doing everything to protect those chicks.

Suzanne said...

Another feeding switch at BW.

CamsGrammy said...

Both parents in SC Mom just brought in a sprig of pine to freshen up the nest.

Suzanne said...

Our cam must be up. Where is the fuzzy stuff? Only part of it is there, and it's moved.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Our camera is back up!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Dead whatever is gone now.

Suzanne said...

Sun coming up in Kent. That always looks so pretty with our eagle sitting in the nest.

Suzanne said...

It looks like they had a free for all in our nest. Sticks are every which-a-way, and only 1 small fuzzy or whatever it is on other side of the nest. They must have had some serious winds there yesterday!

paula eagleholic said...

Glad to see cam back on, sorry to see it MT

CamsGrammy said...

Sure would like to see someone home this monring.

Suzanne said...

Yeah, me too. Missed their morning visit cause cam was down. Both ospreys in nest, BW chicks snoozing, PA falcon snoozing, Kent eagle looking very pretty in the rising sun. Guess if you want to see the sun you can look at Kent. Sure can't see it here! And sigh... our nest MT.

CamsGrammy said...

We have beautiful sunshine here in Pinch this morning. It sure is a welcome site :)

CamsGrammy said...

I just want to ask everyone to keep our son in your prayers he is deploying back to Iraq in a couple of weeks. They told him that is should be just for 4 months but we know how that goes. The last time my husband and son were both over there.

Anne-Marie said...

Good Morning. I was just watching Santa Cruz and saw my first "poop shoot". How funny!

MITS said...

Cams, praying for you and your family......Heidi, How was your date:)?????

Anne-Marie said...

thanks Mitt. I'm glad I went. We will see where it goes. At worse I have a new friend. He sure is nice to look at.:)

Suzanne said...

Camsgrammy, prayers for your son for a safe return!

Mits, just sent you a couple Kent pics. Egg turning, but she is very quick doing that! Up, turn, back down in less than 10 seconds.

Heidigirl, did you snap a pic for MemaJo?

Anne-Marie said...

suzanne I am on a work computer and I cant. I am assuming you ment the chicks and not my dinner date.:)

Suzanne said...

Time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle day. Hope the kids come for a visit this afternoon or evening.

Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

MITS said...

LOL......Heidi we take date pics too....we eagle moms look out for each other...if it gets serious, he will have to pass our muster:).

Anne-Marie said...

OK Mitts, I will make sure I have a camera in my purse.Sounds like a good idea to me. I need all the help I can get. I will be back and forth today but I will be watching. I need to give back what I earn today. Thats only right. Hugs to you all.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Somebody is in our nest!

Sandy said...

Belle is home!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Camera is not updating again.

MITS said...

:):):) its big Belle.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And then it did. Looks like Belle!

MITS said...

We gotcha back, Heidi:).

paula eagleholic said...

Wonder if she is going to fake us out today, too.

MITS said...

some one must be flying near by, she keeps turning her head on every refresh

Sandy said...

Paula, I was thinking the same thing.

Looking around, maybe waiting for lunch???

Harbinger said...

Is that Belle on the egg cup?

Anne-Marie said...

She is doing just what she did yesterday. She just sits there. Its like going to a crib where the baby is gone. Its too sad.

MITS said...

we think so, Harbinger.

MITS said...

looked like she was just squawking at something.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

What is she doing? I am praying so hard for an egg today!

MITS said...

me too....

Anne-Marie said...

me too...

MITS said...

both in nest.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

It looks to me like Liberty came in and laid down on the egg cup.

MITS said...

maybe he thinks he can do it:).

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Maybe she already did????

paula eagleholic said...

Maybe he's telling her, here, here!

MITS said...

LOL.......

Harbinger said...

For those who know about these things: Is there really a chance that we're seeing what we hope we're seeing?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

OMG, the suspense is killing me!

MITS said...

That's a good question, Harbinger, I've been waiting for someone from NCTC to inform us..

paula eagleholic said...

OK, so she is back in the fake out position -

Harbinger - we are seeing pre-egg laying behaviour, but it is still anyone's guess if we will see any more eggs this season.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, they just switched on the egg cup and Lib flew off. Couldn't see the cup but boy am I praying.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I think she is trying to lay an egg but I could be wrong!

Anne-Marie said...

this is too much.. I am trying to get a contract done and I keep switching back to see whats going on. I just wrote Eagle for someones name. I've lost it....

sandyshaw said...

Oh, I hope they're not just teasing us. Go, Belle. Tom's surgery is tomorrow. Has anyone heard from Mema Jo?

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, Heidi - you know you're an eagleholic when....

MITS said...

LOL.....Heidi...Dear, Mr. Eagle...etc.....

paula eagleholic said...

Sandy - she arrived safely.

Hope all goes well tomorrow for Tom. How's Mother?

Harbinger said...

Thanks, Paula!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I think she is trying to lay an egg. Hope and pray I am right!

MITS said...

Will be thinking about you tomorrow, Sandy.

sandyshaw said...

Thanks, Paula. Mother is stable. My sister is here, which is an enormous help.

paula eagleholic said...

Man, same thing and same time as yesterday, interesting, huh?

MITS said...

Sandy, is Mom still in the hospital?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Oh well, a girl can dream!

MITS said...

DARN....

paula eagleholic said...

And same outcome :(

MITS said...

Finally there is an osprey at the nest in New Hampsire:).

sandyshaw said...

Rats! No, Mits, Mother is at home. We have Home HNealth Care every day, but no help on weekends. We're working on that, because my sister will have to go home some time, alas.

paula eagleholic said...

L&B have been here the last 2 days in a row around 1-ish.

paula eagleholic said...

Last 3 days.....
