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.
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.
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.
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.
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???
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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....
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.

Hmmm, 9:25am and no one has reset the cam yet....
Time to take a hike out to the tree!
Just wondering if Steven is in or out of town?
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.

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.

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

See chicks at Channel Isles and BW feeding.
Eating at BW - 2 Osprey at Osprey cam
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.
Another feeding switch at BW.
Both parents in SC Mom just brought in a sprig of pine to freshen up the nest.
Our cam must be up. Where is the fuzzy stuff? Only part of it is there, and it's moved.
Our camera is back up!
Dead whatever is gone now.
Sun coming up in Kent. That always looks so pretty with our eagle sitting in the nest.
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!
Glad to see cam back on, sorry to see it MT
Sure would like to see someone home this monring.
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.
We have beautiful sunshine here in Pinch this morning. It sure is a welcome site :)
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.
Good Morning. I was just watching Santa Cruz and saw my first "poop shoot". How funny!
Cams, praying for you and your family......Heidi, How was your date:)?????
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.:)
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?
suzanne I am on a work computer and I cant. I am assuming you ment the chicks and not my dinner date.:)
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!
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:).
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.
Somebody is in our nest!
Belle is home!!!
Camera is not updating again.
:):):) its big Belle.
And then it did. Looks like Belle!
We gotcha back, Heidi:).
Wonder if she is going to fake us out today, too.
some one must be flying near by, she keeps turning her head on every refresh
Paula, I was thinking the same thing.
Looking around, maybe waiting for lunch???
Is that Belle on the egg cup?
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.
we think so, Harbinger.
looked like she was just squawking at something.
What is she doing? I am praying so hard for an egg today!
me too....
me too...
both in nest.
It looks to me like Liberty came in and laid down on the egg cup.
maybe he thinks he can do it:).
Maybe she already did????
Maybe he's telling her, here, here!
LOL.......
For those who know about these things: Is there really a chance that we're seeing what we hope we're seeing?
OMG, the suspense is killing me!
That's a good question, Harbinger, I've been waiting for someone from NCTC to inform us..
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.
Well, they just switched on the egg cup and Lib flew off. Couldn't see the cup but boy am I praying.
I think she is trying to lay an egg but I could be wrong!
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....
Oh, I hope they're not just teasing us. Go, Belle. Tom's surgery is tomorrow. Has anyone heard from Mema Jo?
LOL, Heidi - you know you're an eagleholic when....
LOL.....Heidi...Dear, Mr. Eagle...etc.....
Sandy - she arrived safely.
Hope all goes well tomorrow for Tom. How's Mother?
Thanks, Paula!!
I think she is trying to lay an egg. Hope and pray I am right!
Will be thinking about you tomorrow, Sandy.
Thanks, Paula. Mother is stable. My sister is here, which is an enormous help.
Man, same thing and same time as yesterday, interesting, huh?
Sandy, is Mom still in the hospital?
Oh well, a girl can dream!
DARN....
And same outcome :(
Finally there is an osprey at the nest in New Hampsire:).
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.
L&B have been here the last 2 days in a row around 1-ish.
Last 3 days.....
Have to go out...don't forget banding at Norfolk today at 3:)...They will be offline for network upgrades between the 23rd to the 25th.
