GOOD MORNIN' EAGLE BUDDIES!!---I think I am FIRST----Beautiful pleasant day here in WV!!!----in case you didn't watch the game----WV---62---WM--24----GO! EERS!
good morning! Have been checking out for finny but haven't seen him in two days. Probably has left for warmer climes.Can't believe how attached you become to these beautiful birds and how much you can miss them once they leave. Have a great day.
MORNIN' JIM---JILL--WANDA---JO--HELEN & BOBBI!!!------Weather is perfect this a.m.---temp 66°----BOBBI---I checked on that FINNY BOY---all day yesterday & now you and JIM say he isn't there this a.m.---I WILL REALLY MISS HIM!!---He is an ADORABLE "SELFISH" LITTLE IMP!!!!------he really protected his FOOD!!-----ho! ho!----LOVE 'EM!!!
The "LITTLE PRINCE" is napping on his grate---(think he learned about the napping from JO)--ho!------THINK THAT'S WHY HE & JO ARE ALWAYS IN A GOOD MOOD!!!---- I have an errand to run---LATER!
Being reported from breathebonaire.com.... 100% of our webcams survived hurricane FELIX ... thanks to MOBOTIX weatherproof design and technology. Glad they made it thru the storm..
Wanda-That is awful, stealing your mothers tomatoes. I will check with Scott see if he knows anything about them. He lives in the turn there by the park before you turn into your mothers dev. The good news is they are probably harmless except for the stealing part.
Maybe NCTC, can contact whoever does the cams in Boniare. Was just telling hubby, about the cams and how they are working, and on a clear day in Sheperdstown ours would be down...go figure....your right Suzanne is going to miss Finny.
Oh Well, she'll have Squiggles and mid month she should have Frieda's chicks! THEN - if our cam is up & running we can watch Liberty & Belle rebuild the nest! Whoo Hoo!
Thanks for checking the Finnish Osprey eyass ... I too haven't seen it (I think it is a female) on its nest since Friday evening-- their time. She was looking nervously in all directions ... probably for Dad ... and she did not have too full a crop.
I think Dad either went against instinct and left the scene before she did, or he left the immediate area to give her more motivation to go on her own. Dad may be back later to make sure she has migrated. But I haven't seen HIM since Thursday either.
I believe FINNY is gone---Wasn't there all day yesterday & same today!!!----SUZANNE will miss her little BUDDY!---He is such a character!!!!---All he would say was--MINE!--MINE!--as he was lying flat on his food---Only looked up to see if parent was going to take it away!!!----He MANTLED every thing!!!---He was such a DELIGHT to watch!!!!!
OH MY!---If you want to see ONE HAPPY CAMPER!!!!----The "LITTLE PRINCE" is in heaven---He has an ICE FRUIT & he holds it so close & licks it as fast as he can----HE WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE TOO!!!!!
The "people" at SD seem to think SQUIGGLES is a female---or at least they are hopping she is---I read several comments & the med. exam---She has good LUNGS!!---Just hope we can still see her often when she gets older!!!
Hey Paula, market would have been a little better for you but I got there late. LOL. OH Well. Went to the river to try to see you know who but apparently they are on vacation. As are all the birds in the Shepherdstown area.
HI JO & MITS-- I have been checking for Finny off and on this afternoon and no sighting. Suz is really going to be heart-broken. He is the first thing she sees every morning. He is always there to greet her. Fortunatly, she loves watching Squiggles, so I guess that will help her dissappointment.
Good Evening all, I'm calling it a day and just doing nothing. I'm packed.I left the suitcases open just in case, but everything is in and counted for 12 days. Now, what in the world am I going to wear to work? Its hot here and cold there so I had to dig out two wardrobes. I had a big fight out side all day between squirrels and blue jays over the grapes. I didn't think they were ripe enough but both are protecting them to the death. Every time I run out there with my camera they stop.I may come home to bodies over grapes.
Anne-New Camera rule. Recharge it every night whether you take 2 pictures or 100. I thought mine had plenty of battery life left since I didn't take many pictures last time. Well apparently I left it on a couple of times with out realizing it. Good think Liberty and Belle didn't show up after it was dead or they would have been greeted by a crazed Momster with no camera. LOL
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine was well spent with family and friends today, though there was more children then adults it was a great time had by all. I got to spend significnt time with Tori, when she wasn't locked in whispers with her best friend.
The bats are out catching moths and other insects at my dusk to dawn light which I leave on for them so they can dine.
No sign of finny at this late hour and I have not seen him either in a few days. I also noticed the visibility in Bonaire was minimum underwater perhaps from Felix churning up the waters.
Hope everyone slept well as I hope to sleep in tomorrow and give my leg a rest.
I had to get out of here this afternoon, so I took a long drive through the mountain switchbacks to Lake Elsinore. It can really blow the cobwebs out of your head and your car. Really enjoyed it, stopped at a small pizza joint (where they actually hand throw the dough still) and had a very good dinner. Wanted a beer since it was like a 100° steam box out there, but since I was driving, I settled for an "extra dry" Diet Pepsi.
Last I saw of the Finnish beauty was the evening of Friday, the 31st. I believe she's on her way south. May fair winds blow her nothing but good for life.
GOOD LABOR DAY MORNING EVERYONE...Jim, your dinner sounded good. There is a new place down hear that is hand-tossing the pizza, want to get there before I leave....BONAIRE underwater cam is offline, they think Felix damaged some cables, and they are assessing they situation.

Suzanne is going to be heart broken on Tues morning when they is no more Finny! I am still checking but not seeing any feathers around that nest!
Maybe NCTC, can contact whoever does the cams in Boniare. Was just telling hubby, about the cams and how they are working, and on a clear day in Sheperdstown ours would be down...go figure....your right Suzanne is going to miss Finny.

Squiggles Alert
I would say that Squiggles is one well fed chubby little girl!
GOOD SUNDAY MORNING, EAGLE EYES...

Take a look at "Squiggles" now.
Jim
NOW I see your comment about Squiggles, Mema Jo!
I did listen to the examination audio you told me about in the "News" section. Gotta wait another week to learn if it is a boy or a girl.
It sure looks like a healthy, happy cub now.
Jim
The cub does not seem o mind its mother leaving... Seems like Buta Buta from Atlanta always did.
Well, time to see what else there may be to do this afternoon! Lunch time is over here........ BBL

I THINK I see a FALCON on the light in PA!!!

Be Back This Evening.........
Afternoon, all. Market was busy, yet slow for me. Sure was a pretty morning.
Stopped by to check on Lib and Belle, but I think they were down on the river enjoying the beautiful day.
Hey Paula, market would have been a little better for you but I got there late. LOL. OH Well. Went to the river to try to see you know who but apparently they are on vacation. As are all the birds in the Shepherdstown area.
FL Sandhill Cranes
20 Home Videos from Genie in Fl
When Bobbi was talking about the Wood Crane, I remembered that our blogger Genie/Jewell from FL had a Sandhill Crane family on her property in FL and she very well could live close to Bobbi! Would be great if they got together!
ENJOY THE VIDEOS - Start from Bottom Up to be in order of their age - There is one with the DANCE that Bobbi was talking about
Sandhill Crane Videos
I had a little trouble getting the formula in correctly - sorry about that! Last link does work......
Great shot of Finny taken yesterday on the BW osprey site, maybe he was waving goodbye.
Hi There, Mits. I saw that one - I think what you think is right -
Bye Bye Birdie!
HI JO & MITS--
I have been checking for Finny off and on this afternoon and no sighting. Suz is really going to be heart-broken. He is the first thing she sees every morning. He is always there to greet her. Fortunatly, she loves watching Squiggles, so I guess that will help her dissappointment.
That's OK Jill, Market was still fun. Enjoy it every time I go!
BTW, my new picture is Valor Beanie.
Valor the eagle
RETIRED
To honor all of those who serve
Patriot Day we do observe
For the bravery you've displayed
Your memory will never fade !
Valor is a beautiful beanie!
Meaningful name also......
Good Evening all, I'm calling it a day and just doing nothing. I'm packed.I left the suitcases open just in case, but everything is in and counted for 12 days. Now, what in the world am I going to wear to work? Its hot here and cold there so I had to dig out two wardrobes. I had a big fight out side all day between squirrels and blue jays over the grapes. I didn't think they were ripe enough but both are protecting them to the death. Every time I run out there with my camera they stop.I may come home to bodies over grapes.
Hi Anne, Glad to hear all is packed!
You did remember a needle and thread just in case - right? lol
Thought you were putting 3 outfits aside for work? Have you gotten some photos with new camera yet?
I just don't know how you are going to sleep these next few nights before leaving --- exciting....... !!
Hedi - glad to hear all is coming along so nicely!
Good night everyone, have a good Labor Day Monday:).
Good Night, Mits
I'm not far behind!
Me three - I'm pooped! Heading up to NJ tomorrow to get the college kid back to school...so catch ya'll much later tomorrow!
Safe journey 'back to school'!
MT nest again when you return!
Night, Paula
Going to go ahead and close down for the evening.
Good Night Everyone
Peace to You & Yours
Prayers being said for all your needs

Sleep well.
GOOD NIGHT TO EVERYBODY AND HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine was well spent with family and friends today, though there was more children then adults it was a great time had by all. I got to spend significnt time with Tori, when she wasn't locked in whispers with her best friend.
