Good Morning NCTC Bloggers. Hope the weekend ahead holds something special for each of you. I started my day with a photo from Tesoro nest. Couple of longer sticks hanging out of that nest now too. Our New Eagle Season is coming and very soon. One nest at a time.
Thanks for the new thread Steve. Good Morning Liberty and Belle.
Good Morning Thanks for the new thread and for enlarging the Polar Bear pic for us. Those bears are waiting for AnneMarie to arrive!
Thanks, Jill for the heads up! Were you starting your day or ending it?
Hi Glo! Your right about our new season not being far from starting to happen - exciting! I see that Candy had been on - I think we'll see her later in the day.
Oh Yes! HI THERE LISA
Everyone loved the pic that you posted of Tai yesterday!
GOOD SATURDAY MORNING...Thanks, Lisa, I love the pic of Tai, your right he does look like he is in his own habitat. The whole Asia Trail is wonderful. Worth the trip to the National Zoo.
Thanks for the Polar Bear pic, Steve. I love polar bears!
Happy Saturday to all!
Jo, you are up early this morning :) Plans for today?
So I do have a question for those seeing the Polar Bear this morning. How many do you see of the original picture before clicking on it. I now have 2 pictures one on top of the other. Steve is working hard to share that photo for sure.
I see the second pic and first pic has the red X in the box.
Eagle Alert on
BW PLATFORM
Thanks Jo! And a pretty one, too!
I see the pic you sent last night Glo, and there is a box underneath with a red x
Hi There Paula & Mits!
I was eating some breakfast and had my nose in the morning newspaper.
No plans for the day - There is a
kite exhibit down at the park from 10-4 today and then there is a grandson's soccer game at 3 in the same park. Just depends on the 'heat of the day' as to whether or not I attend.
Looks like he brought his own breakfast!
looks like some breakfast going on

Iris is sailing out of New York on the Norwegian cruise line ( i saw 3 them last weekend docked on the Hudson River) for a cruise to Turkey .. Istanbul.. Greece and afew other places..

Yes Mits but Iris is leaving from NYC this morning for her cruise of a life time with her husband.. Like i said saw those ships docked last weekend in NYC they are not that far from Ground Zero.. Beautiful Ships i think she said Norweigan Spirit they will be on... must check to see if they have a cam also.
Looks like Anne's ship is there waiting for her! It leaves at 4 today.
Eagle at BW is gone...
That's cool that Iris is going across the ocean on the ship. Sounds like an awesome trip. I've heard Greece is beautiful.
Nilla, I was stating a fact, didn't see you comment before I wrote that the ship was in SF
That little kestral is back at BW
Mits i know just thought you were having one of those early morning senior moments..lol Just wishing all those traveling a safe and adventurest journeys!!! Heck my brain doesnt kickin to high gear til at least lunch time...
Hmmm, maybe not...
CT cam is still down...
Greece is beautiful Paula but they have had those fires over there and many people killed and alot of the old ancient site were in danger, but i think all is ok now fires out.. I did check and it is the Norwegian Spirit but did not see a cam for the ship..
Found this info about the CT nest on the Puleston site. Still one juvie there at Puleston, too.
Sherri who posts on the Maine forum was at the nest again yesterday and posted the following: "Anyway....it was after hours for the center but Ken was there and he filled me in. It seems as though they now believe that it is for sure, Dad and likely the female immature" who are still around the nest (one of the other folks at the Audubon Center had said they thought it was the smaller juvenile who was still around, and those who watch the cam from the Maine forum thought he'd left a week or two ago). She also learned "The OTHER good news is that we are going to have a new cam next year. It will be live stream with night vision! WHAAAAAAAA-HOOOOOOOO! [Very Happy emoticon] Likely will not have sound due to the wind factor where the nest is.......as well as being right in the airport path. He said it is like the cams that are on I-95 ....... I haven't had a chance to check them out yet. Apparently has good close up capability. He would like to have it installed before the osprey return next year so that he can get all the 'bugs' worked out. If it does get installed, he said he can turn it around and watch the ducks during the winter."
Squiggles is alone all stretched out on her belly.. Cam is kind of cloudy
GOOD SATURDAY MORNING JO, MITS, PAULA, NILLA, AND GLO. I got up in time to see EAGLE ALERT and by the time I checked in, gone. ;( I have the site on now, so hope to catch it later.
Checked in on SF and looks like a nice day for cruise launch. :) Anne-Marie must be really excited by now. Sure hope she has good weather and a great time.
Checked on our eagle cam this morning, but see that it is still now on. I am getting anxious for it to come on so we can see and hear our Liberty and Belle.
Thats great news Paula from the looks of it this coming season will be a fantasic 1 for viewing with all the new cams and sounds!!!! Like Glo said will be here before we know it.. I am working this morning and thinking of riding over to NCTC this evening to take a look see maybe see the eagles!!!
Eagle cam is still NOT ON!! My mistake.
Mits i cant remember at what age will squiggles little eyes open?? They sure keep it dark in that room.
There is a beautiful picture of Frodo on the site takin by a lady who works on the 34th floor of the building he was guarding the nest..
I see we have an utop cam on Bonaire now. No more underwater pics. People starting to come on the beach now and then.
Check out the Hancock Wild Life new page they changed it.....all on 1 line of course
http://www.hancockwildlifechannel.org/index.php?topic=cam-sites
Grizzlies are already out in Alaska waiting for Anne-Marie's visit. I sure hope she gets to see some.
We will even have a web cam on a eagles nest in Alaska the Haines-Chilkat Eagle Nest in Haines Alaska.. Awsome!!!
Eyes open partway between 35 to 40 days, then about a week or two later they will fully open, Nilla
Wow, thanks for the update, Nilla. Looks like they have 2 more cams in addition to the Hornby nest again.
You can see the Coit Tower in San Francisco, they are docked at the Embarcadero.
Chehalis River Cams... October'07 to January'08... Thousands of Eagles and millions of spawning salmon... Coming next month be sure to put in favorites!!!
Oh, cool, Anne's ship moved.
Mits, you getting anything from Maine this morning? I am getting nada.
Hahaha i was just thinking heck with those Alaskian men i will have all the cams to keep me busy...lollll and no cooking neither... laughingggggggggg
Haven't checked yet this a.m. , but was not getting the live shot last night, only 30 second cam
My gracious how is Anna going to shimmy up that pole to wave to us?? lol
That will be cool when it heads out under to the Golden Gate.
Didnt someone say the eagles were back at Port St Lucy Florida in the nest working? i brought it up but the cam didnt come on for me?
Ok having moments here our time the ship leaves at 7 pm Mits? 3 hurs difference? I dont know what time Iris ship leaves port, but i am sure she is excited!!!
The link for the Tesoro cam is not working thru their website. They have cam1 and cam2. Cam1 is thru the site. You have to cut and paste the url for cam2 directly into either WMP or real player.

Hey JO. Now I am up for the day. Earlier neighbor thought it was a good idea to wake the whole neighborhood with her screaming fit.
Have to get ready to leave. Going to Raystown Lake this evening to see stepson in wakeboard competition. Won't be able to see Anne's ship leave.
Hey Jill have a good time at the lake its beautiful up there.. Safe driving we need to plan lunch soon..
Thanks Nilla. Did you get my email about the pictures?
Ok you West Virginia Football Fans; Their game is starting. Hope Norma is watching.
I knew if i searched long enough i would find a cam for Iris's ship!!! Here is the link to many cruise ship cameras:
http://www.cruiseserver.net/travelpage/other/ship_cams.asp

Some of the ships have cams on from and back of ships.. I see Iris ship and the traffic going by maybe it should pass right by the Statue Of Liberty!!
<~~~ sea sick already.. look at the cruise ship Crystal Serenity.. water looks rough
Which ship is Iris on?
Whats great about this cam site on ships is it tells you where the ship is and heading to...
Norweigan Spirit Paula
Mits, did you know that the Wolong Nature Reserve in China has a volunteer program? You can go to China and help care for the baby pandas!
Paula did you see the Cunard ships Queen Elizabeth2 and Queen Mary2? Seems Carnival is having problems with cams
Awesome site, Nilla. I see her ship has not left yet.
Nilla, the link I found works ok, but it's not working off that page you found.
Princess ships have acamera in the wedding chapel you can watch weddings at sea wow..
I have been watching all the cruise cams - Iris and Anne are probable so high with excitement! I know I am just thinking about it!
Paula some of the ships cameras are not working and sometimes it said they are out of satielite range[spellin] anyways if you found 1 that works for you great!!! Jo i have goose bumps thinking about how they must be feeling.. But dont envey Iris in that NY traffic!!
Glo do you remember when Iris's ship was leaving?

Mits - have a good time at the party today. How cool Maggie is crawling. Happy Birthday, Kevin!
Iris is actually boarding her ship out of Istanbul. The ship you saw Nilla is hers but she is currently in the air flying to Amsterdam. As I mentioned in chat last night we will be following her itinerary on a fairly regular basis on Chat Cruises. No the ship cam she is on doesn't up date frequently at all, but she has been thoroughly encouraged to wave every time she goes by the cam so keep an eye out.
Thanks, everyone....it is a big time thing that she is crawling...new baby supposed to be here on 10-2, but who knows....rest assured Mei always wins over Tian).
Hi Glo thanks for the info on her flying.. But that is her ship in NYC? Honestly i thought she said she was leaving from NYC on that ship..lol Duhhh musta been an air plane instead... Ut Oh Mei and Tain are getting ready to go at it again.. but she gave him alow growl and he backed off..lol
Paula if you bring up the Princess Cruises there is a small window you can tab it down for alist of cams... Right now i amwatching Coral Princess cruising to Ketchikan, Alaska. The picture refreshes fast to...
http://www.princess.com/bridgecams/coral_bridge_cam.html
Time for me to take a break
Enjoy your afternoon everyone
BBL
Well Nilla she was thrilled that you had actually seen her ship docked there in New York but yes hers is a Mediterranean cruise. Won't board for several days but hoping some will come on in an follow her trip. Gonna cruise tonight and tomorrow night about 8 Eastern. Will take me a while then to set up cruise again for mid week as we follow Iris around.
I do have the cam marked for Anne Marie's trip also just for fun but do not really have a clue of her itinerary. Sure is high up in the air though not gonna see Anne Marie or her red dress...if we do , well lets just say she has to have been flying high that day
Later, out of here :).
Well Glo i will try my best to be in the chat room for the cruise tonight .. you know how much i enjoy it... Mits have awonderful day with family and seeing MAGGIE crawling... I love the weekends because i have JASMIN..
Glo maybe you should explain to those who have not been in the chat room to cruise and what happens... And they can join in everyone is invited.
As many of you know, our Eagle Eyed Sharon has had her share of tough times during this past year.
There is now a Candle Light Tribute set up by Glo where you can light a candle for her and surround her with your love and support as she deals with yet another loss of a family member - her brother.
Go here to light a candle for Sharon....
Candles for Sharon
If you wish to keep a candle lit from you over a period of time, you will need to return in 48 hours to light a new candle.
Peace,
MemaJo
Per Nilla's suggestion...In case there is anyone new reading this who is not aware of the Eagle Chat room...you get there by clicking on my name here on the BLOG and heading on over to the For the Love of Eagles BLOG.
Near the top on the left you will see the entrance to the chatroom.
Only other eagleholics are there LOL. You don't even have to chat if you are coming in for the cruise. Just put any name or whatever in the blank space and enter. Its fun ...give it a try. Anyone is welcome..
One of our Eagle holics IRIS has left for distant lands. She will be spending the next 3 weeks in Greece and stopping at ports up and down the Meditteranean.
Tonight at 8 pm eastern we will begin to follow her along her trip. We will also Cruise tomorrow night at the same time and I will set up another one for midweek about Wed or Thurs.
I hope you can join us for one or all of the cruises.
Tonights cruise will last no more than 15 mins.
If you have not cruised with us from the Live Eagle Chatroom before then please come in about 15 mins early to be sure your computer is set up to respond to the signals I will send from mine.
Its a lot of fun to cruise with other eagleholics wherever we go. This time though we are off to Istanbul.
Hope to see you there.
Oops! I did just delete a comment because I had extended Glo's invite to cruise right below her's! I didn't see it before I posted...
Ok Out of here to get ready for Mass. Just spoke with Sharon by phone and she very much loves all the candles we are lighting for her and her family. ((( hugs )))
See ya'll later!
A VERY GOOD DAY, EVERYONE.
I think I'd better publish this while it's still Saturday....
We were joking about partying all night on the blog last night, and amusingly enough, someone around the pool here did party much of
the night. Somewhat hard to sleep.
I got up once this morning, got some stuff done, then laid down to unkink my back..........
"OMG! It's past noon!"
At least I'm getting rested, since the lay-off. It IS a beatiful, hazy-sunny day today at about 75° in So Cal.
I missed the eagle AND the Kestrel at BW this morning. Anybody get photos?
Bon voyage to Anne-Marie...hope it's as beautiful there as Steve's picture of the Polar Bears shows.
Jim
The Kestrel was just at BW, but it was just forced off by what some of you call a "Ewwie," but what we call a "Buzzard" out West here.
Jim
Frodo is now setting upon the clutch...if you believe my Pilot Pen measuring device, and if the cam operator has not changed the distance to the nest again.
In other words, the bird on there now appears shorter than the one I measured earlier.
Jim
Wow Jim does that fancy measuring device double as a writing utensil too???????? LOL
Yup, Jill,
My Pilot Pen has many varied uses, and it tells me that Frieda has returned now.
However, I plan to use my Pilot Pen to measure some larger piece of gravel, so I will be sure the camera distance has not changed.
Jim
There! I found two larger chunks of gravel, which are approx. the length of the pointed end of the barrel at this distance from the camera.
Frieda measures from the pointed end of the Pilot Pen to the pocket clasp, but Frodo extends from the point to a spot about ¼" short of the clasp.
Jim
Where did everyone go? Did you all jump over-board while cruising with IRIS?
Trying to get on that Eagle chatroom was a challenge. I had no idea what I was doing. Finally got on after the cruise was over. I think I will be able to board the next ship on time.
It was a good trip - If you need any help email me.
Have you been having your mom's yard sale?
HI JO--
Yes, I have been doing the yard sale thing. It has been far too hot to have a yard sale, but I promised Mom we would do it this weekend, so here we are. We have it partly outside and in her basement, which leads out into the yard. But still very hot due to haveing the door open.
Gene has been tending to the outside duties. He is super!
Mom had her house redecorated and this yard sale is helping rid her of her old items. Her first yard sale at 87yrs. She is having a blast.
I think my main problem with the Chatroom was, as Glo suggested, My Java needed to be updated. I think I will know what to expect next time. I was very surprised, everyone was very chatty! I couldn't get a work in edgewise. I need to think and type faster.
That was my problem - I type not so fast but they read it when I am finished..... I also use a separator between comments - it helps keep up.
I also bold my print..... Only takes a few times to feel comfortable...
I go over on cruises and some other unadventurous events.
Bai has Squiggles cradled by her arm.
I am going to call it a night
Good night everyone
Peace to You & Yours
Prayers for Sharon and her family
being said
Almost forgot to tell Candy
to hang in there - Gabrielle became a tropical storm - but there will be lots and lots of rain I betcha!
Thinking about you Candy
I am right behind you JO. Sleep well.
Sharon, you are once again, in our prayers. Just know we all love you and are thinking of you.
GOOD NIGHT TO YOU ALL WHEREVER YOU ARE.
I am so saddened by Sharon's yet another loss. I know that God says that He won't put on us more than we can bear and that He will carry all our sorrows, but it seems He sure does have a lot of trust on our Eagle Eyed Sharon. May God Bless You, little sister, in the name of our Lord, and give your peace and comfort in your heart. Your eagle family loves you very much and so do I. love your big sis, donna. (((((Sharon)))).
Oh Wanda, you still have your Mommy. How wonderful. Would you just give her a big hug from mauley? I miss my mother so very much. donna
Jim, Mauley likes Ewwies. Did you know?
Eeuww! you like Ewwies, Mauley.
Hahahahaha. There's somebody else too, isn't there?
Actually, the Buzzard, or Turkey Vulture, is very adept at soaring (graceful too), and it rarely flaps its wings, in order to conserve energy. They're about the same size and shape as a Red-tailed Hawk, and if they're far enough away, it's sometimes hard to tell them apart.
We used to have both circling high over our place in Del Mar Terrace. We were surrounded on three sides by sandstone hills, and the one directly behind, Red Rock, was pretty high and rose steeply. That condition, together with a steady sea breeze coming from the forth direction, gave rise to great updrafts and thermals.
Anyway, at say 1000 ft. overhead, they're both black and shaped about the same, but a quick way to tell them apart is that while soaring, the Red-tail will have its tail "fanned" using it for additional wing, as well as a rudder; but the Buzzard has its tail held "straight back".
These Buzzards, or Ewwies, appear younger and not so ugly around the head and neck areas as most that I have seen, and in flight the Turkey Vulture is really graceful and skillful and beautiful. But some of them in close-up REALLY deserve the "Ewwie" name in my book!
Jim
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE/GLORIOUS SUNDAY MORNING TO YOU...
JIM
GOOD MORNING TO ALL MY FRIENDS--
Checked some cams and not much going on. Anne-Marie's ship seems to have a Black-Out, or they don't operate the cam this early.
HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY:
Being at peace with yourself is a direct result of finding peace with God.
NEW SUNDAY MORNING
THREAD IS UP FOR THE DAY
