Just signed on and maybe, just maybe I got the lucky #1 spot!
Best Publish and see who is on other thread & get them to come over!
GOOD MORNIN' EAGLE BUDDIES!!!---THANKS STEVEN for the weekend thread!!---BEAUTIFUL SUNNY MORNING here in WV---temp. 56°----The birds are singing & LIFE IS GOOD!!----HOPE YOU & FAMILY HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!
Hi Norma - Mits may be coming over as soon as she comes in off the balcony- It is beautiful all over the east coast this morning!
MORNIN' JO & MITS----JO---I think we may have a tie--ho!---CONGRATS!! JO---You are always #1 in my book----I was just watching your burrowing OWLS & lo & behold there were at least 4 or more of those "hooded crows"---I think?---BEAUTIFUL BLACK & WHITE BIRDS!!!---Looked a lot like the WINDEX COMMERICAL----ho!!---Going to go back & check out BIRD GIRL'S pic--
Adult in the nest momentarily must have brought food to Eggbert who is now mantling.
I can only see Albert on the tree trunk at this time - all 3 cams working great!
lol....How did you know where I was Jo????:):) It is gorgeous, treasure days like this in the summertime.
Albert looks like a woodpecker the way he goes up and down the tree trunk.
I was checking out the Asia Trail-
I think I see the tail of the Fishing Cat - lol Cannot ID the panda with their back to the cam. Looks too broad for Tai and he sits with his back up against the glass usually. Lots of early visitors there today.
Way to go Jo, #1 for our early bird!
JO--If you still have a pic of the HOODED CROW---Please send me copy---I must have deleted bird girl's copy----Thanks!!!
ALBERT was up much higher when I last checked!!!---He's such a JOY!!---I can identify with him---I HAVE NO SENSE OF DIRECTION--(you all may have noticed)--ho!---"BLESS HIS LITTLE HEART"!!!!
HOORAY FOR JO! SHE GOT THE NUMBER ONE SPOT FOR SATURDAY. iT IS SOOO TRUE THAT THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE NUMBER 1 SPOT ON THE NEW THREAD. CONGRATS JO!
GOOD SATURDAY MORNING TO JO, MITS AND NORMA! I just finished watching Jim's kestral links and they were really neat.
Before I have a Senior Moment, I want to wish Robyn and her daughter a very safe trip to Houston. Our prayers for a safe journey go with them.
1 EAGLET at NE NEST----PA Ledge --MT---Keep watching to see if the STORK KIDS attempt to "hover" over the nest!!!---Those KIDS are so VOCAL!!!!---No wonder MAMA'S visits are brief!!!
Osprey are having brunch at the Dennis Puleston cam....
Brunch - Osprey style
AND GOOD MORNING PAULA! I didn't see that you were also on. My eyes are still stuck together like Mr. McGoo.:)
That little scamp, Albert, is way high up in the tree limb this am. He is getting very brave!
MORNIN' PAULA & CANDY!----As MITS says "OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING" & doesn't she have such a lovely voice---
Hey there Paula & Candy - Norma I didn't save the Hooded crow but I can go in on the messages at Momsters and probably get it for you. Give me a few..........
Norma Check your emails in a little while - I resent Delphia's message about the mystery bird to you It has the picture links in it...
Candy - Dad or Mom did feed Eggbert this am. Nest was MT - in came the food - and like a flash - Eggbert appeared. lol
KENT NEST ALERT
1 adult and 2 eaglets!!
Looks like Einstein is back!
Osprey at CT and LI eating.
One hooded crow in nest, like Norma said. The three storks were waking up and one was on the edge of the nest; maybe to practice wing flaps.
I just say Eggbert fly off to parts unknown. Swallow eggs being covered so can't see them yet this am.
Finland chick is in nest with parent.
All three eagles off Germany nest.
Looks like there might be one of Suzanne's Pa falcons catching a little shade on the ledge.
JO Thanks for the info on Eggbert. I could see him in the nest, but his back was to me, so he must have been eating. He is gone again.
JO---Don't worry about the "hooded crow" pic----CANDY just saw them too!------They are where the burrowing owls come out!!!
I am going to now go into Borders & get my Harry Potter book - I did not go in at midnight! ho ho! But I hope everyone else did so that I don't have a line today... :) :)
NORMA I loved watching the 3 storks yesterday. They sure are noisy and when Mama came in they just all settled down around her making a cooing sound and started eating. They were doing a lot of wing flaps before she came with food.
YEP!! CANDY you are right---PA still has a FALCON on the ledge---I always check that one 1st----I so ENJOYED it last year---We didn't have as many sites to watch---BUT WE DID HAVE "OUR EAGLETS" to WATCH---WORRY --- & LOVE!!!---(maybe nest year) ho!
SC cam is up but no Limuw :(
PAULA---I enjoy watching the CT OSPREY SITE----Some times I have a hard time getting out of the site---Does that make sense??
PAULA--I got out--ho!---They are all there eating-----Have they attempted to FLEDGE---HANDSOME BIRDS to watch!!!
PAULA Again thanks for giving me the heads up on the SC nest of "feathers". :) Boy did I feel like a jerk, but at least today I won't have to keep hanging around it looking for Limuw to bring a bird in to pluck!!!!! :):):) What an idiot!
I also have the Conn chicks in sight. Mom is no longer feed ing them now. I wonder if both will take off today? I never really saw if the one left finally flew.
Has ALBERT gotten any food?---I have been on phone----
NORMA One of your storks just took a run on the nest and took flight! Two left in the nest.
NORMA The little bird that Mama brought into the nest for both eaglets was soooo small I would think it would only fill one gulp.
Your other stork is flapping now, while one sits there. Do you know if any of them have flown yet; now that you have one gone, one practicing and one sitting.
Now three storks in nest,as one came back.
CT osprey have both fledged and are flying in and out of the nest really well. One just came back.
Looks like A&E are eating...
A BEAUTIFUL, SUNNY, SUMMER SATURDAY TO YOU ALL...
Having troubles getting my head pointed in the progressive direction this morning. And most of the cams I checked don't have any birds or they don't have any action this morning.
Did you look at the post-fledge clips of the Kestrel I put on yestereven's thread??
Jim
I don't think Albert got much, but now Einstein's off-camera again and Albert's much farther up on the branching ladder.
Jim
Only one chick left in Conn osprey site with Mom.
Hey NOrma, I have the Hooded Crow site up now and it looks more like an osprey to me; Brown wings and partial chest, rest of underneath is white, head white, brown, and black. It is on the site that Suzanne gave me. Maybe it is a baby?
natureit.new-NatureIT-livekamera, then click on Kohde1:Saaksi.
GOOD MORNING JIM! I took a look see at your Kestrel videos and they were really great. Thanks for giving us the heads up. I got tickled with all of them trying to get on the little fromt deck. :) And it was very interesting watching the adult poised in the air waiting to strike her prey.
JIM we are still all waiting for Albert to make his first flight. All cams in Kent are up and working today.
PPAULA I must have just missed the Con chick take flight. I was watching and the last I saw it was with it's parent. Rats!
Almost noon might be before I post this. Morning and Afternoon Jo, Norma, Mit, Paula, Candy (safe trip), and Jim (such a dedicated Dadster). Need to check mail was catching up on post.
Going to check mail.
Not to worry about Albert eating. Parent is back in nest hopefully with some food. I can't see as both have backs to cam.
NORMA Mama just came to your storks and they are busy surrounding her and feeding, if you want to see it.
Candy, that is an osprey there now, they did not have chicks this season, they just come in and out to make sure everyond knows this is their nest....Lisa from BW posted this site months ago, then we found out about no chicks this year, but still a wonderful site.
So I am correct in my thinking that Albert at Kent has NOT fledged yet right?
Is that him Albert up high on that limb where the parent was and he is now?
Come on Albert from there that would be "sky diving attempts". Come back down towards the nest and let us see you fledge.
Mits, do the Hooded Crows come in when the osprey leave?
DANA Welcome aboard The Eagle Express. As far as we know, Albert hasn't fledged. There was a lot of wing flapping yesterday, and he is getting up and down the branch now with his wings. He is alos higher today than yesterday. Maybe today is the day!
Three Swallow eggs sitting comfortably on feathers. That has got to be the most comfortable nest I have ever seen.
Yes, Candy, sometimes, but not always.
MITS Thanks for the info
CANDY--How high up did the STORK go----my daughter has been here & I was dying to get back on---I saw the STORK CHICK do that yesterday-----WOW!!----It really BLOWS ONE'S MIND----Doesn't it----Has my friend ALBERT flaps his wings???--ho! (poor baby)----LOVE HIM!!
CANDY---Do you mean the STORK CHICK actually flew away from the nest???---WOW!!---Would kill to see that!!!----They say they will actually go up to 10 ft. above the nest for awhile---that's why they moved the cam so we could see them---I saw him go up about 6 ft. & fly from side to side of the nest!!
LATE MORNIN' TO JIM & DANA!!!---Lots happening in the nests??----ALBERT was up to the 3rd limb this a.m.---I call it 3rd---really 2 & 1/2--ho!!----
I hope Jo still has "our SWEET darling Norma's cane". lol lol she is talkimg about let's see the words were "would kill to see that". It was in reference to the storks get up to 10 ft. above the nest. Norma said she has seen 6 ft.
Our Sweet Sweet Tiny Norma. See Tiny and Small and Beautiful eyes; but you'd never know. lol I'm cracking up here Norma. Love the words you use. I enjoy them so much ho! Not like my words oh no a mis-spelt one again.
Parent at Osprey CT been on cam two chicks just flew off.
NORMA The one stork started on the right side of the nest, ran along the bottom edge of the nest and just kept goig. I couldn't see where he landed, but it wasn't the nest. He was gon awhile and then came back, jsut in time for Mama to bring food.
No Limuw in SC, no Eggbert in Puget nest 3 storks still in nest, and poor Algert still on the same branch in the same spot. Just did a little wing flap, but doesn't seem in any hurray.
BBL
Since I didn't get the new Harry Potter book, I am sitting here watching the birds. Jo has been gone for a little while. Hope she didn't have to get into any crowd, or they still had her book saved for her. :)
Parent back at Kent nest and has food. Parent is now on branch while Albert eats away.
OH MY, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING WE HAD--Just came in from the garden. (picked the beans that the Groundhog left) It's getting warm now.
What a sissy Albert is! Watched him til 11:30 last night. He did finally fly down to the nest from his branch. Immediately began searching around the nest for food.
HI WANDA Well you guessed it, Albert still is in nest; eating a small animal that Mom just brought. Other than that, he has been up in his tree branch. He seems higher today.
NORMA I do see a type of platform to the left of the nest when the cam was out farther. There is is now way out like a stick to stand on. Maybe the stork went on there and didn't fly off after all. The cam is pulled way back and now they have moved it up close again.
Eggbert just showed up in his nest at Puget Sound.
Two storks doing wing flaps while other naps. There cam keeps moving in and out. The perch or stick is visible again to the left of the nest.
Albert finished his meal and is high up on the branch again.
NORMA Where are you. The stork cam is now pulled way out and you can see the street below with a group of people down below watching them. I could hear laughter, and I wondered if people were watching. The storks are now up and watching the people/ :)
CANDY---While I was eating lunch--I put the STORK CHICKS on full screen---I could hear children talking & dogs barking---You can tell that it appears to be lower!!
ALBERT is back up WATCHING---Maybe flying will be coming soon!!!---He doesn't seem to want to fly----Maybe MAMA will withhold food----
He seems to be flapping more to get on and off the branch, so maybe that is a good sign.
I guess our "MAGISTRATE" is working today----Wanted to tell her I am going to the races---Going with the "crew" from the Court House----So JILL---I'll be in good company!!--ho!---
LATER!!---CANDY---Keep watching the STORKS ----Don't they act like ballet dancers???---ho!
NORMA You go and have a bit of fun. You are with good company. :)
Norma-call me if you need anything. LOL. If I wasn't working I woudl join you at the races. Tempting to do it anyway.
I am going to read some myself for awhile. If anything flies while I am gone, I'll be really mad at myself. So all you babies stay put!!! BBL
NORMA yOU LEFT TOO SOON One of the stork babies just flew off the nest to the cheers of the people. That might have been the same one I saw this morning. I don't know. Another one is trying sooo hard to lean out and go.
Baby stork just landed back in nest to the cheers of the people down below.
Come on Albert, it is your turn. You can do it. He is back sitting in nest again. :(
Albert just flew down from his branch and went to the Launch pad. Thought he might take-off but changed his mind. He wants food.
Good Beautiful Afternoon Folks... Just came from hospitol and my new granddaughter is going home today but not before i got to feed her and change her..lol I will have her on Monday for the day....SMILES!!! Norma your going to the race track??? Good luck if you are as for me my gambling will be limited as i have the new baby to spoil..lol But will always make time to take Jill.. Enjoy this beautiful day, Hugs Nilla
Got my book No hassle & it was reserved & just gave my name & was handed my book & a poster!
Had other errands like more b-day cards for the month & other little things. It is warming up out there but I have not seen the sky this blue for quite a few weeks! So clear and so blue blue! Clouds are fluffy and white!
Both Kent kids in the nest lying down side by side! Maybe there is a storm coming? OR maybe they do miss each other's company............
BBL
Going to get ready to go to Mass this evening... I'll be back later this evening... Keep your eyes on Albert!
Hey, Nilla, from the looks of my schedule you have at least a month to spoil that baby before you go to the track with me. Get busy, you can get a lot of spoiling done in that time. LOL
JILL--HOPE YOU ARE STILL TUNED IN--
Did you read yesterday's article in the Journal about the "SCAM" by our mutual customer?
Wanda-I sent you a post to read it, guess you didn't get it. That was really low. I haven't seen the arresting officer yet, he is off on Sat. & Sun. hopefully I will see him Monday.
JILL--We have to appear in court next month. Don't know what to expect.
I see ALBERT is still up the tree. I think we need to re-name him "Sissy". Of course, you know that once he fledges, Kent won't be near as interesting. We are dwindling down on babies and fledgings. Mrs. Swallow's eggs are due to hatch 24thish. We can watch them for awhile.
Wanda, just take the paperwork you have, you shouldn't have to say much. Paperwork speaks for itself.
Hey you two i know which person you are talking about and what alow life she is...Grrrrr Really really sad situation for the family of the child also and oweing all those vendors.. Throw the book at her!!!

I posted this on the previous post, long day!
Thank you Jo, Mits and Candy
Here we sit in Chattanooga Tn, we made good time today and the skies remained clear, hoping tomorrow beings us the same weather.
We saw two red tailed hawks around Roanoke Va and LOTS of Vultures the rest of trip.
Tori says Hello Ladies and Mr. Gene
Hi Robyn and Tori--
Meant to talk to you before you left but didn't know when you were leaving. Have a WONDERFUL, SAFE trip. Keep in touch.
SILVERWOLF--
Are you on the Blog or did you go with Robyn and Tori?
No problem Wanda.
Nilla-wish I could throw something at her. It's one thing to write bad checks, entirely another to do this.
Yes we all need a trip to CT. Nilla can be our leader. No way will we get in trouble then. LOL
Hi Robyn and Tori! TN - made good mileage there gals! When do you expect to be in Houston area? Really been thinking about you two - take care - you are in my prayers!
ROBYN Glad to hear that your trip so far has been a good one, and you made it all the way to Chattanooga, Tenn. You are west of me now. :) We aare glad you checked in. Our prayers and well wishes for a safe trip are still with you and Tori.
Well JO do you think we should give up on Albert for today. My eyes are about out of my head, between Albert and watching the first stork fledge. Albert seems comfy up on his branch in the tree for now. I guess I'll get off for now and let my husband check his email. When are you ever going to find time to read the new Potter book? The bird watching keeps you so busy. :) Talk to you all tomorrow. ALL HAVE A PEACEFUL AND RESTFUL NIGHT. TOMORROW BRINGS A NEW DAY@
Hi Candy, I think Albert is being a very sensible young eaglet - After all Once he goes - that's it no more eaglets to watch for that thrilling moment. Only get to sit and wait for their return to the nest for food or rest. I am enjoying every minute of his sitting up on the limbs. He will be gone all too soon.
Then it's Down Under with Freida and Frodo and the pink pebbles
JILL--
I don't know about not getting into trouble; we might have to borrow Norma's cane from JO.
You'll have to pay the price! lol
We made great time. i love to drive so this 1400 miles won't be all that bad, it ss the traffic that dives me nuts.
Wanda, mom is in Florida we will be making our way to see the folks the last week in July for just over a week. Taking the time to see family and friends while I am in this part of the country.
Mom said she will post when I see her and dad and help her get set.
Thank yo Jo, now it is just a matter on Tori's test results to see which way we go with her recovery.
Wanda, mom has been keeping me updated on Albert and Einstein during the drive :) so she has been lurking (a little secret, she lurks daily ;) )
KENT NEST ALERT
Einstella is in nest - bet she's hungry. Albert up on his limb.
Wish some of these nest with 2 or more eaglets had name tags on those wingblings!!!
This blog is credited to having the Bestest Bunch of Lurking Lurkers as no other blog or forum can ever claim
Let's hear it for the LURKERS!
You keep us straight because we
know you're out there reading us like a book! Love Ya All!
Albert is walking down the trunk just in case a food drop comes, he will at least have a chance!
Hey Robyn. Somehow I missed your post earlier. Glad you are having a safe trip. Drive careful. Give Tori a hug. Good luck with the tests.
ROBYN--
I was trying to get your MOM on here. Thought she might answer me.
SILVERWOLF, you are welcome on here even if you don't say anything. Just keep Robyn informed.
Well Jo i think its a proven fact that eventually those lurkers come out and join us...lol But your right and the more the merrier... Kent was way up high on the branch and Puget was up high sad to think the season will be over soon and then its on to Petes Pond and other African cams... Oh and yes F & F on the ledge down under..
Thank you Jill, sitting here with the girls, listening to them laugh up a storm,I am so tired I wont hear them much longer as I slip into unconsiousness here shortly
Wanda, mom isn't sure how to sign up so when I get to their home she promised she would blog.
Nilla - that was Sept and/or Oct when we were watching Freida & Frodo.. I haven't seen any activity at Petes or on the Africam yet. Grizzly bears are in the river cathing all those fish!!
Robyn Is the weather decent.
It was so beautiful here today - I said before that the sky was the bluest I've seen is weeks!
I only have one Kent Kid in view unless the other is on the highest limb and I can't see him...
I hate to say it but I am confused as to which one in resting - I think it is Einstella.... I just wish I knew for certain...... becuase that would mean that I can't find ALBERT!
Darn It All!
Tee Hee I sure did some good
typo's in my last comment
Your right Jo the sky was beautiful blue and from the 7th floor of the hospitol looking out the window you could see almost to Hagerstown it was so clear...
Yesterday in my opinion was one of the top 10 days of summer. Not sure how the weather was there today but I heard it was good. It is dry here and comfortable, hopefully the storms rolling thru Houston will stop by the time I get there.
Did PS eaglet fledge?
I really think he has Robyn. Some of the other Kent Forum guys thinks so to. With that 10 sec refresh and limited span of the camera view - can't be sure BUT I say Eggbert is now a Free Bird!
All the Osprey chick are fledging also......... Just like the Kestrels. If you have time go to yesterday's thread and watch the video link that Jim gave us. Bobble Heads!!!
Yes, Jo, that video is well worth
the time to look up.
ROBYN--
Look at last evening at 10:14 (Jim's Link)
Going to look Jo brb...
Like Tori said, Awwwwwwwww
Such pretty birds
Well, some things to do before saying good night in about an hour. BBL
Get some good restful sleep Robyn.
I'm sure it will take awhile for the girls to calm down! Peace
I had to go an watch the video also of the Kestrals fledging and they are so pretty...
Yes Robynann take care driving and stay safe... I know i sound like a mom but only stop at well lite areas and gas staions that are lite and sorta busy always be aware of people around you... Ok enough just have fun, Hugs , Nilla
GOOD EVENING, FOLKS.
I don't know if the Kent eaglets have had dinner yet or not, but Albert has 'crashed' in the nest and is sleeping it off.
Jim
Hi Jim well on my cam he is up on the branch setting again... I dont see Puget neither but something white is dead n laying in the nest it looks like?
Thanks Jo, Nilla
We stop before it gets dark, going to make it to Baton Rouge tomorrow for the night. Should arrive there btween 4 and 5. To many crazies on the road one of the things I tell the girls no matter what STAY TOGETHER!
I'm going to get some sleep now and the girls are unwinding... I hope.
Hugs to all
OH I see Albert hanging out on a branch
Night all
Yes, Nilla, Robynann, Albert has come back to life and flown or climbed back up the branch...
Limuw has returned to his nest and is calling...probably for dinner.
They have some videos of him nearly 'taking out Dad' about noon today. He flew in right behind Dad, who had the fish, and instead of landing in front of him, he blew right through where Dad had been... Take a look if you have time.
Jim
GOOD NIGHT ROBYNANN & GIRLS, JIM, JO AND NILLA.
Good Night Everyone, Hope ya'll have awonderful weekend stay safe... stay happy....and keep and eye out for eagles flying above.. Hugs, Nilla
It's late but I must go over to IWS and see that, Jim. BRB
Limuw tackles Dad with food
This link may work for you. If not - go to the IWS forum for today on Page 5, Cumbrian's What An Entrance film.
Jim That was sooooooo funny - I'm glad you spotted it!
Time to call it a day - was a full day!
Good Night Everyone
Peace to you and Yours
Prayers for all your needs
Which Early Bird is going to get to be number 1 (the worm) this Morning?
Limuw has given up and flown off to roost for the night...
Everybody is signing out for the night, so I'll say,
GOOD NIGHT/GOOD MORNING TO YOU ALL....
Jim
Have a wonderful day all, back on the road stopping in Baton Rouge, till then....
GOOD SUNDAY MORNING TO ALL YOU SLEEPYHEADS.
Robyn is already up and gone. Wish her a SAFE and SUNNY day.
ALBERT is up on a branch. Don't know if he stayed there all night or not. He seems so comfortable there, maybe he will never fledge. I guess Mom & Dad will have to cut off his food supply.
Mrs. Swallow has about 2 more days and then she will be soooo busy with her babies.
Finland is DRY for a change. What a boring baby Mrs. Fin has. He just lays there; only gets up to eat. I guess he misses his sibling.
Time to get ready for church.
ALL HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY.
Good morning to all the sleepyheads!
Albert is still up the tree...
GOOD BRIGHT SUNNY SUNDAY MORNING
I bet you all are outside enjoying the sun and breeze - too nice to sleep in! But then I did just get up about an hour ago. That is my norm...
Robyn is on the road & we'll hear from her when she arrives in BatonRouge!
Both Kent kids at Nest.
Eggbert's not to be found in view
Foggy out there
Ms Owl back in the Owl Motel
1 burrowing owl standing guard
Limuw not at home - link to video of his tackling Dad is up a few comments..Loved it......
And for the tail end of my observations, Tai outside sleeping (I think it is him)
Hello Paula. Is your grass all browned? We had to mow the weeds the other day!
Ho Ho! I must have awaken Tai - getting some antics from him as he tries to scratch himself on the tree- He's rolling and tumbling all over that tree......... lol Reminds you of when he was younger.....
Our little Prince
Browner than brown, Jo! The weeds aren't even growing! Like straw out there...
Enjoyed my coffee out on the deck this morning...off to do chores!
Get the grandson tonight while Mom and Dad go out to enjoy a movie...
I need to do some things for my DIL B-Day picnic this evening over here.
I'll be in and out throughout today.
Talk to you all later - get outside & enjoy this weather!
HELLO, EVERYONE, HAVE A GOOD SUNDAY!:)
Hello.. Just got off the phone with Sandra. She is having one devil of a time getting onto the blog. Tom is home and is doing fairly well - has 7 more weeks of rehab for the knee. Sandra did go to market and saw Megan. Megan's daughter has had a hand (3 fingers) injury that will require medical treatment Keep her in your thoughts
Poor Megan's daughter, hope she is better soon.
Email Megan direct if you know of any exceptionally good orthopedic surgeons down at John's Hopkins-St Joes'.....
Got to get the best because she is a future guitar performing starlet!
GOOD MORNING, EVERY FRIEND OF EAGLES....
I'm running slow and lazy this morning, but I'm enjoying it. Haven't read any comments yet, but I did look at BW, and Lisa has a couple of interesting new links on the Osprey site.
Try Pomegranite Jelly sometime...it is great, and I'm sampling some with my breakfast toast right now. I drove my sporty vehicle up to the mountains near Mt. Palomar last week. Bought some of their famous honey and some of their interesting jelly. Glad I did.
You might have tasted 'Julian Pie Factory' pies, which originate in the apple growing area around there. I love them, they put a lot of brown sugar and cinnamon in them, and at least in the Fall and part of Winter, they are made with locally grown apples.
Albert seems to be alone in the nest and perched high on the branch...probably won't be too long before he takes the leap.
There wasn't much happening at Limuw's place when I checked. Maybe later.
Hope you have a beautiful day.
Jim
MEGAN, YOU HAVE MAIL!!
KENT NEST ALERT
Both kids home
Swallow's three unhatched eggs are very visible! Wanda says in about 2 more days or so we should see 3 open mouths!
Jim Remember all those apple pies we were promised by Nilla!
I like the way yours sound ...a lot of brown sugar and cinnamon in them, and at least in the Fall and part of Winter, they are made with locally grown apples. YUMMY
Einsteinella didn't hang out for very long. Albert staying up on his perch.
Little Fin chick certainly does sleep alot - Hope he is ok and not sick like his sibling. Puleston osprey lone chick in nest calling out to anyone who can hear.
Chicks are in nest in CT - just looking around.
Off to set out some food for incoming crowd. BBL
Good afternoon all, Its 2:15 in my area. Boy am I tired. Yes this is suppose to be the day of rest but not for me. I babysat grandkids all weekend so today I pay the fiddler and get some chores done around here. I had new kitchen put in a few months ago and still haven't got it organized the way I want it. I worked on it this morning. Laundry and stuff too. I haven't even been out today. Wish I was sitting on the deck with Mits. I just wanted to say Hi then get back to work before I run out of Umpa! What ever happened to the energy I once had?
Hi, everybody...
I think I got the pie company name a little wrong this morning, but I found it on-line:
Julian Pie Company
They have grown and you can get their pies several places locally, and now you can order on-line. I haven't done it, but take a look and see what you think.

I forgot to mention a few things about the trip.
I live in Orange County, which used to be covered in orange groves...almost all gone to developers now.
But on the way to Julian or Mt. Palomar, there are still miles and miles of citrus and avocado groves, and I stopped at some roadside stands to buy bags of oranges and avocados at very reasonable prices. Now, all I have to do is figure a way to eat them all before they spoil...might make it, since they were not very ripe when I got them.
Also, if you are in to gambling or camping, the local Indian Reservations have some popular casinos and camping facilities. Good to see them getting something going to bring in monies for the tribes.
Jim
Limuw is in his nest...don't know if he's eaten yet, but he's calling as though he hasn't.
Jim
Hello all we made it to Baton Rouge and I am exhausted. 4 more hours left tomorrow till we reach Houston. I believe we saw a Mississippi Kite today on I-59.
Megan hope your daughter is doing well
ANNEMARIE its a tough job, but someone has to do it. JIM, I'm ready to order an apple pie, looks good. ROBYN are you eating cajun food tonight?. You are almost there:)!
Hi, Robynann...
I just looked up 'Mississippi Kite' and learned a great deal about a very interesting raptor of the South and Central U.S.
Have a good trip.
Jim
We went looking for cajun food Mits not much that is close enough to us cajun wise. When I stop in gulfport at my cousins for a few days on the return trip we may well have cajun YIPPEE!! I really wanted a muffaletta sandwich tonight
Yes, I'm beginning to salivate over the apple or peach pies also, Mits.
I haven't had one for years (might fix that soon), but I remember the crust was very light and flakey too.
I think they are safe to order on-line...think I saw a TV spot on that subject years ago, but as I said I haven't bought one on-line yet.
Jim
Well, now I've learned quite a bit about 'muffaletta sandwiches' thanks to Robynann.
They sound great, great, but I have one question: are they loaded with super hot spices (thinking 'Cajun')??
I don't do the really hot stuff, and my healing ulcer doesn't do them either. But the Muffaleta sounds absolutely delicious without the extra spices.
Jim
Jim you can make it mild or hot depends on the peppers :)
3 large garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup chopped green olives stuffed with pimientos
1 cup pitted and chopped "black-ripe" olives or Calamatas
1/2 cup roasted sweet red peppers, chopped
1 cup olive oil
3 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
1/3 lb. salami
1/2 lb. provolone cheese
1/2 lb. mild cheese
1/3 lb. mortadella
1/3 lb. prosciutto
HI ROBYN & GIRLS--
Sounds like you are making good time. Watched the weather this morning and I think it is getting hotter for you now. Told Gene I hope you have a good AC in your car!
Now, what is a muffaletta sandwich?
I don't like olives but the olive spread that makes the sandwich is really tasty
Whoops---I guess I spoke too soon.
Hey Robyn. Glad you made this leg of your trip safely. Tell the girls hi. Watch the high water and storms tomorrow
Sounds good ROBYN--are you SURE your not Italian?
HI JILL--
Robyn was telling me about some the dishes she cooks. I think she was a chef in another life. Maybe she will cook something for us when she gets back home. What do you think?
Jill I love to cook, and good too! I'm not Italian,just German Irish and French but try my italian food and you'd think otherwise. :)
Opps sorry I meant Wanda
Jill we got lucky this trip coming down with the weather, I am not to happy about driving into Houston, since I left NYC I don't do well with traffic, I get very edgy lol. I was worried the weather would turn on Monday when we would encounter all the traffic.
ROBYN--
Do you do any grilling? Gene loves to cook, especially on th grill.
I have Wanda I made a roast on the grill and it was tender and juicy
ROBYN
How did you and the girls sleep last night? Hope you weren't too tired to sleep well.
We slept pretty good, the girls like to tease one another, they are like sisters and I have warned them what duct tape can be used for lol.
We will get better sleep tonight since we can leave a little later as we are closer to our desitination. I get up almost a hour before they do to get some me time in for coffee email and quiet.
Time to watch BIG BROTHERS---
Robyn, safe travels to you and the girls and do keep in touch. Look forward to hearing from you.
I hope Jen gets the boot Wanda, she is one mean person
Thank you
Now you are talking.....my all time favorite sandwich is a Muffelatta, I love olives, got my 1st one in New Orleans.
I'm getting a little concerned, like you, Jo, about the finland chick. Every time I check in its sleeping or scratching, and I have not seen a parent in awhile.
Hey all. That sandwich sounds good - except for the olives! I can't stand olives but I guess that's exactly what gives that sandwich it's character.
I went back and checked the old posts recently - looks like everyone had a great time at the get together. Sorry I missed it.
Had a quick run through at BW on Saturday at dusk. Went to Old Salty's first on Hooper's Island. Broiled rockfish with crab imperial. I'm geting hungry again.
There were three osprey around the cam platform again. Don't know if one was just a fly by or if there were more shenanigans. Two landed on the platform. One on the nest and the other on top of the camera.
Photos are here:
Saturday's Photos
Mits that is where I had my first also. My cousin Sally took me to a hole in the wall restaurant in the Quarter, Bob I hate olives too but MMM MMMM it sure is a good sandwich
BOB--
Great photos--always look forward to your photo expertise.
Thanks Wanda. Being able to share them gives me the incentive to take the time to process them and post. I took over 150 shots to get the twelve I posted. You gotta love digital.
I see 3 swallow eggs, aren't they about ready to hatch?
Albert and Einstein up the tree
Hey, BOB, was just thinking about you today wondering where you were???? Did you have a nice vacation....GREAT PICTURES:). on my way home from the beach I stop at a vege stand that sells Hoopers' Island crabcakes, with a side of tomatoes and fresh corn, dinner in a jif and it is yummy:).
Thanks Mits. Yes, had a great time. Still have a couple of photos from Pickering Creek I haven't processed. Mmmm, crab cakes, now you're talking. Best I ever had were at Stoney's on Broomes Island in Maryland (there's a Stoney's on Solomon's island too).
ROBYN--
Well, Jen got put up for eviction along with Kail.
Mrs. Swallow should be a MaMa on Tues. or Wed.
MITS--
I'm with you about Fin chick. It doesn't seem active enough and I haven't seen Mom since this morning. Although she may have been at the nest later, I was gone most of the afternoon.
CRAB CAKES, TOMATOES AND CORN--Yumm. Sounds good and healthy.
I saw that Wanda :)
