Good mornign everyone. Off for coffee and dog treats. So glad Lib and Belle are checking in :).
Got a sinus headache and a half here and wanted to take Dex to the Marina this morning to practice taking pictures of seagulls, since I don't expect any eagles to be in sight anyway for another 6 weeks or so. mTBR on that I guess. Enjoy your day. SO nice of the kids to drop by even for a minute, must have gottent he word we were gettign a little ......well you go ahead and fill it in .
Thanks for the new thread, Steven, and thanks for the heads up Mits and Jim, and good morning to all of you! Morning, Glo, how's the picture taking coming along? Thanks for the heads up about the eagles in BW, Jim. I brought the site up this morning, and it was kaput again, so just closed it. But it's open now!! Watching those beautiful eagles. Sure can see a size difference.
Morning Mits, Glo. Thanks for the heads up Jim and Mits, just studying for mid-terms pulled my B to an A this week and want to keep a hold of it for 4 more weeks till next semester. I am getting so sick of school *blah*. less then 2 yrs left hopefully I can finish in 1 year.
Way to go, Robyn! It's hard work, but worth it in the end. yeah, Wanda, what's up with the SD cam? I'm thinking Squiggles is now Scooter, and they can't keep track of her....or mom, for that matter. Did you see them yesterday? Bai was out throwing that bamboo around, and every once in a while, she'd go get Squiggles and carry her around for a while, then put her back, get her again, then nurse. Too funny. Glo, hope your headache goes away!
Suz I saw squigs last night before I went to bed about midnight, she was all alone in the middle of the room sometimes moving other times still. She is getting BIG

Good Morning EagleLand Hey there #1 Mits - hope your day at the Zoo goes well..Hot it will be! Thanks Sharon for the early bird pic. Mits, you and Paula stayed up until that little eyass got into the world - You two were good coaches!
Morning, early bird, Jo! Glad you got a pic from Sharon of the very short visit this morning. but oh so nice that they were there. Well, at least one of them, and I said Belle earlier, but have no clue which one it was. Robyn, the moon was bright white when I came in, did it change color later? I loose it around 6ish, it goes behind an appt bldg behind my building. Bet taht was cool. Mei Sheng is awake and eating bamboo, but I want to see Bai and Squiggles!
LOL Sharon Well lets see I am sure it says somewhere in this book that this camera is simple enough for anyone to learn to use it so sure I will share with my Buddy Dexter..and let him take a few pictures if we go. As you know he is fairly good at he computer already. tech savy critter
Missed the NZ otters so I went to Monterey Bay & watching those. Watching eagle on osprey platform LunLun & ButaButa sleeping outside Inside treat time for one NZ panda-another one is outside sleeping ..& we have an MT nest Camera zoomed in on Squiggles..
yes Suzanne Dex is doing good. Daph is the one that was sick on me in August and off and on this month as well. She is on lots of steroids...that snot so good, but does seem to be feeling much better the last week to 10 days...now to get her off the steroids and not have the condition flare back up, whatever is cuasing it. I on the other hand am gonna lie down for a while and possibly head to the Marina later.
Hope you all get to see soem eagles today...including more of you know who
Oh, sorry, Glo, got the puppies names mixed up. Anyway, glad Daphnie is doing better. I hope she continues to improve. It's no fun having a sick baby! Specially the 4-legged kind, they just don't understand why they don't feel good. Sleep tight, Glo! There's an eagle in BW, in case you didn't see the comments.
Jo, have you tried your daily clicks today? They work, but what a pain it is waiting for them to come up! Been like this all day, I usually do mine first thing in the morning, and that didn't work today, so started again about a half hour ago. Still not done. Least I can do something else while waiting for the pages to load! Squiggles hasn't moved, she must be tuckered out! Poor Frieda is not resting well, those babies must be wiggling all around under her.
Jo, just saw your comment. No, sorry, can't make Tony's tonight. That's way past my bedtime, but thanks for the offer! And yes, one of these days I'll join you!
Hey, Robyn & Mits, I checked out Bird Girl's pics on the third chick. Looks like she got the same ones I did, so they must have had problems getting the pics over the net...
Nilla was that a storm or what? I was going around the mall at the worst point. From the backside,turn behind Walmart, you could not see the building. When I made it to Wal-Mart there was a beautiful waterfall coming off the building, landing in the middle of the road. When I dropped Joey off I waited at BWW for a few minutes when I came back out, the road was completely flooded and a car was stalled. I went around the back side of the mall and that intersection was flooded too. Had to cut through the parking lot, come out on the Sears side and go out Foxcroft that way.
Hey Jill i can tell you it hit close by here my electric went out here at store and came back on, so i had to reboot both comps. The battery back ups did kick in.. Hey i didnt tell you but i have not heard a peep out of Tonna for weeks now.. she only stayed 1 night.. I am going to BWW and tell her she needs to get her things i am not a storage bin!!! And since Ken is moving i am really doing alot of cleaning and perhaps painting...
Jill son came in and said the traffic lights were all out and blinking red.. Winchester Avenue is flodded and customers just said the entire steets in Martinsburg are flooded.. i wonder what the under path railroad bridges looks like???
not staying to BLOG but wanted you to know someone else was excited to see them while you were enjoying there visit. Bad headache today not gonna read much but did have the cam up.
I know its really early for them to begin working like that but last season when i went over to NCTC 1 of the guards at the shack we were chatting and he said once he saw 1 of the eagles fly over and land near by and thought it had killed something but it was like jumping up and down and when it took off had its talons full of grass.. So they pull it out of the ground...
It rained down here on Shepherdstown road about an hour or so ago, but was not very hard and only lasted about 5 minutes. It is thundering again right now. Hope we get some more rain. It is still dry under our trees.
Well maybe a slight chance of them returning once more but i doubt it ..its thundering and lightening now here once again... Jill had a call from Tonna we had along talk.. MT nest still at 7:15pm
Howdy Wanda yes i was not paying attention to the cam and looked up and there they were... Just beautiful... I heard many places here in Martinsburg have no power.. News said we got over and inch in less than a few minutes here it rained so hard...
Well i dont think they will appear again but i would bet they are roosting up on a higher branch where they like to set.. I hope Mema Jo made it to pizza ok without getting drenched...
Yep--one less worry. My two daughters are both in their 40's and I still worry about them. My Mother is 87 and she still worries about me. You just never stop worring about those you love.
I watched Frieda feeding the chicks in a break from the drizzle...cute little fuzz balls. Only trouble is I could only see two fuzz balls. I hope there hasn't been any bad news.
It's possible to hide one amongst all that fuzz though, I'm sure.
They've got the WE cam and TH cam up again, but you can see the clouds of fog rolling over the nest areas. Better pictures though when you can see.
It's still like 80° and sunny in Santa Ana, but we are a few miles from the coast.
Boy, I used to see those giant "rolls" of fog coming in from the Pacific and up our valley when I lived in Del Mar Terrace...awesome.
Just came back in. From Winchester Ave back to Raliegh doesn't have electric. The State Circle area is out. Wanda your mother probably lost electric but only briefly. I was out at King's Pizza and they only lost electric for a second. Most of the town was flooded. Not many limbs down that I could tell except WV Avenue or NY Ave. Crews were working in there when we came by
WANDA- I was on the phone with the other mag. when the storm hit. He was coming by Gosling Marsh and said the sun was shining bright. I was sitting behind Walmart and couldn't see the mall for all the rain.
Brace yourself, another storm coming through Martinsburg. Lightning bad. Some places still without electric but have no fear Allegheny Power is on it. Two of their trucks are sitting at Outback. Go figure.
Jill my windows are vibrating with the thunder, as much as I love storms like this I hate them when alone, especially if the power were to go out, you know where I am, NO neighbors that are visible
Hello! Pizza was great but we almost got 'drowned' getting up 81 into PA. Like you Jill, it was bad enough that you wanted to pull over. Very torrential downpour! Then I saw a rainbow when we turned into Greencastle. Coming home I don't think that MD got even a drop! The harvest moon was beautiful coming down over the mountain! Bet you in WV can't see it with all the storm activity! Really orange & BIG
my 115 lb lb is more afraid then me lol, had to go to basement to reset the wireless modem,now that was scary lol it is dark down here at night, good thing we didn't lose power then
I was different this evening- I had spaghetti/meatballs. The others had plain cheese and then green peppers-olives-mushrooms... It was really good - we go up about once a month.
It is raining cats & dogs here now. Like Jill & Robyn, we are having thunder and lightning one strike and one boom after another. Just goes on and on. Wonderful rain. I hope everyone is getting this. It is great for my Fall crops.
Well, you made me hungry. ladies. Now I've got to go bake some fish sticks or something ... which reminds me, the Dr. said my cholesterol has dropped about 50 to 178 and the good cholesterol is back up in the green zone. Mostly the medicine he gave me, but I have been eating more fish lately.
Got about 10 rain drops - thunder and lightning has stopped. Perhaps it will return before morning! Paula I enjoyed watching the ravens/eagles over at the WE nest. Such a great view! See those fluff balls! Can't wait until they sit up......
No I'm finished for the night Paula, was out most of the day with tori and friends. Was worried I lost power too when I got home saw my dusk to dawn light was on...phew
Good morning, Suzanne. I slept a couple of hours and then had to get up ... turn everything off for the night.
Thought I would give you a "good morning" before hitting the rack again.
I see Bird Girl thinks there are two Peregrine chicks too. I wondered on here last evening, but I couldn't be 100% sure how many there were with all that fluff.
Good morning, world. Just saw BirdGirls last comment, so went to read the webpage. That's too bad, they have a chick they don't know what happend. It's missing. Let's hope the other 2 eyasses make it just fine! Beautiful night out, got a few drops of rain last night, almost made the roads damp. But 68° at my house, 72° here, so guess it's gonna be a warm one. Had my seranade coming down, so all the crickets and some locusts were out and about. Will try to glance at blogs, see what I missed. We have a beautiful pic on our cam of the nest, but MT at the moment. BW is down again, and Bai's nursing den is totally MT. So Bai and Squiggles are sleeping elsewhere tonight. Even looks like a lot of the bedding is gone also. Hum, wonder if somebody cleaned house??? All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Good morning, Jim. You must have commented right after I logged on and started commenting. You need to work out your sleep, you're gonna be dragging! I hope you can go to back to sleep. I read the comments on the webpage, they have been updated. They even reviewed the cam logs from yesterday, and one chick has totally disappeared. They don't know what happened to it, there were no predators, and either Frieda or Frodo were very near the babies at all times. So it's a bit of a mystery. I'm sorry to hear it, I was hoping all 3 would make it with no problems! Sure hope this is going to be a good year, and no nesting problems like we had last year...they seemed to never end. Sleep tight if you go back to sleep!
On the Frodo site, they think it was the second chick that went missing, but I saw that one live and healthy, but I don't believe I ever saw the 3rd one ... just that shell with the strange hole in the side.
I agree with one of the people who sent questions...I think Frieda found the third one unviable, made that unusual hole in the shell and disposed of the dead contents.
Jim, sorry I missed you! I went to check my Yahoo mail, and found some articles and pics of pandas, to include our Squiggles on their main page. Well, stop the world, had to look at that. Quite a few pics of Squiggles during her exams. Also read where the Chinese government has now stopped giving/loaning pandas to any other foreign government, as of last Thursday. That sucks! Didn't read details, will have to do that. Yes, Jim, read that, but also saw the pic of the one they think disappeared on the web site, so it was hatched. Not sure what's going on.
Bai is now in the birthing den and nursing Squiggles. Our eagles are due in a few minutes, if they are running true to form. Frieda is on babies, looks like she's checking them. SHE LEFT, 2 BABIES VISIBLE!!!!

GOOD MORNING GLO--
Did you take a pic. of the sparrow and how did it turn out?
Just gave Robyn and Suzanne another "heads up" as to the new thread.
2 eagles at BW now.
Jim
Thanks for the new thread, Steven, and thanks for the heads up Mits and Jim, and good morning to all of you!
Morning, Glo, how's the picture taking coming along?
Thanks for the heads up about the eagles in BW, Jim. I brought the site up this morning, and it was kaput again, so just closed it. But it's open now!! Watching those beautiful eagles. Sure can see a size difference.
Morning Mits, Glo. Thanks for the heads up Jim and Mits, just studying for mid-terms pulled my B to an A this week and want to keep a hold of it for 4 more weeks till next semester. I am getting so sick of school *blah*. less then 2 yrs left hopefully I can finish in 1 year.
ROBYN......you go girl!!!!!Saying a prayer for Tori today.
Way to go, Robyn! It's hard work, but worth it in the end.
yeah, Wanda, what's up with the SD cam? I'm thinking Squiggles is now Scooter, and they can't keep track of her....or mom, for that matter. Did you see them yesterday? Bai was out throwing that bamboo around, and every once in a while, she'd go get Squiggles and carry her around for a while, then put her back, get her again, then nurse. Too funny.
Glo, hope your headache goes away!
And poof, Mrs Eagle just left.
Suz I saw squigs last night before I went to bed about midnight, she was all alone in the middle of the room sometimes moving other times still. She is getting BIG
I can hear the eagles up in Maine, but don't see them:(
Thank you Mits, the only reason tori is edgy is if she passes she may have to change some of her class schedule and she likes her clsses as they are.
Ok, thanks, Robyn. She is getting to be a little round, isn't she? That's a good thing!
Jim, how come you're up so early? Can't sleep?

Good Morning EagleLand
Hey there #1 Mits - hope your day at the Zoo goes well..Hot it will be!
Thanks Sharon for the early bird pic. Mits, you and Paula stayed up until that little eyass got into the world - You two were good coaches!
I should have stayed up longer, couldn't settle down til 1 a.m., now I can hear the geese going by up in MAINE
Morning Jo. Norma the moon was a bright orange-red this morning at 6:15 took a pic with cellphone
For some reason Mits the Maine live cam seems to be running on a 15 sec delay for me.
That's odd, Robyn, mine stays up for hours at a time.
never had ths problem before and my player is up to date
Morning, early bird, Jo! Glad you got a pic from Sharon of the very short visit this morning. but oh so nice that they were there. Well, at least one of them, and I said Belle earlier, but have no clue which one it was.
Robyn, the moon was bright white when I came in, did it change color later? I loose it around 6ish, it goes behind an appt bldg behind my building. Bet taht was cool.
Mei Sheng is awake and eating bamboo, but I want to see Bai and Squiggles!
ROBYN, the one thing I have noticed at MAINE this year, more planes going over.
I may need to attach my external speakers to get a better sound quality Mits I can hear it but not all that well
Don't know why mine is working, I hear cars starting up, dogs barking, people yelling.
Squiggles is on cam and alone!
hmmm I heard some banging
She's getting big and fat! How cool is that! Little cutie pie.
Here comes mom...
LOL, mom woke her up! And she was sleeping so peacefully! Geez, woke her up and moved her, now mom is gone again. She's scooting...
Jo, the male otters are out at the NZ
Yes, Robyn I do hear constuction going on sometimes.
So where is Wanda? Squiggles is alone, and you can see half of her face!!
So, Glo, is Dex going to be practicing taking pictures of seagulls? :)
How adorable.............
Good morning everybody. Hope all is well with you!
Mei is sleeping and Tai is roaming.
HELLO, SHARON,
Mom's back...
EAGLE BACK AT BW
LOL Sharon Well lets see I am sure it says somewhere in this book that this camera is simple enough for anyone to learn to use it so sure I will share with my Buddy Dexter..and let him take a few pictures if we go. As you know he is fairly good at he computer already. tech savy critter
Glo, how's he doing? Feeling better, I hope!
Thanks for the heads up, Mits! Beautiful eagle...
TAI SHAN is headed back inside.
Missed the NZ otters so I went to Monterey Bay & watching those.
Watching eagle on osprey platform
LunLun & ButaButa sleeping outside
Inside treat time for one NZ panda-another one is outside sleeping
..& we have an MT nest
Camera zoomed in on Squiggles..
Jo, the female otters have names...they are Asha and Min, and the boys are called "the six-pack".
I had read about the '6 pack' name.They are something else. Love the little gals names..
yes Suzanne Dex is doing good. Daph is the one that was sick on me in August and off and on this month as well. She is on lots of steroids...that snot so good, but does seem to be feeling much better the last week to 10 days...now to get her off the steroids and not have the condition flare back up, whatever is cuasing it. I on the other hand am gonna lie down for a while and possibly head to the Marina later.
Hope you all get to see soem eagles today...including more of you know who
Robyn-may have missed a comment BUT
are they your kittens on your Avatar?
You know - Tori's ornery kids?
Oh, sorry, Glo, got the puppies names mixed up. Anyway, glad Daphnie is doing better. I hope she continues to improve. It's no fun having a sick baby! Specially the 4-legged kind, they just don't understand why they don't feel good.
Sleep tight, Glo! There's an eagle in BW, in case you didn't see the comments.
Good Morning! Work is keeping me busy. Thanks for the heads up on BW. Found this note on there.
09/25/07:
Technical Note - Well, our charging problem seems to be back as we are having issues with the image again.
It might mean there's a problem with the controller or the solar panel. We'll try to work on it.
Jo, there is a panda on the cam at Memphis.
Heard we had another minute visit. Cool. Better than nothing! They are letting us know they are still around.....
Whew, pooped from all that coaching and crashing computer last night :)
Paula, you made an excellent, falcon mid-wife.
Time for me to get moving around here this morning... IF I want to make it to Tony's this evening!
Won't see you, will I Suz?
One of these days!
Morning, Paula. Hear you did a good job last night!
Jo, have you tried your daily clicks today? They work, but what a pain it is waiting for them to come up! Been like this all day, I usually do mine first thing in the morning, and that didn't work today, so started again about a half hour ago. Still not done. Least I can do something else while waiting for the pages to load!
Squiggles hasn't moved, she must be tuckered out!
Poor Frieda is not resting well, those babies must be wiggling all around under her.
Morning Paula.
Yes Jo those are Tori's brats, I have more pics on my blog.
Jo, just saw your comment. No, sorry, can't make Tony's tonight. That's way past my bedtime, but thanks for the offer! And yes, one of these days I'll join you!
I did my daily clicks - took a little longer... The menu bar was different looking... I finally got them all in.
Check out our eagle cam - mine seems to be jammed.... I hit refresh & may have done it myself......
Hey, Robyn & Mits, I checked out Bird Girl's pics on the third chick. Looks like she got the same ones I did, so they must have had problems getting the pics over the net...
Forget about our cam - Must have been something I did - Up & running clear
Candy We will miss you at the Open House, but have a great time with your son. I would love to go for a hot air balloon ride! Enjoy the time with him.
Mits - You and Robyn did good too!
DIVERS!!
Mits, check out the Smokey's now. Beautiful, sun is up.
Thanks, Paula, OFF TO THE ZOO...TTUL
time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly! Or watch the divers, they're still there.
Safe travels, Mits and Suz. Have fun at the zoo, Mits.
Party at BW Osprey cam!!
Eewwiiieeeee Party!!
Party! Party!

Headed up the road to Greencastle for pizza CU Later tonight.....
I saw that Paula.. It s raining sos hard here you cant see across the parking lot.. Oh my lightening just hit near by...
Nilla was that a storm or what? I was going around the mall at the worst point. From the backside,turn behind Walmart, you could not see the building. When I made it to Wal-Mart there was a beautiful waterfall coming off the building, landing in the middle of the road.

Jill son came in and said the traffic lights were all out and blinking red.. Winchester Avenue is flodded and customers just said the entire steets in Martinsburg are flooded.. i wonder what the under path railroad bridges looks like???
Hey Jill i think another storm is on the way.. was outside a minute and strong lightening bolt in the sky towards 81 area

EAGLESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
BOTH IN NEST
OMG THEY ARE BOTH THERE JUST BEAUTIFUL TAKING PICTURES!!!
LIB FLEW OUT BELLES IN THE NEST
MT NEST AT 6:49PM:02 WOW THAT WAS GREAT MAYBE THEY WILL BE BACK
LOL 2 new leaves in the nest looks like maybe they brought them in...
Hey Nilla.
not staying to BLOG but wanted you to know someone else was excited to see them while you were enjoying there visit. Bad headache today not gonna read much but did have the cam up.
I am so sorry you have 1 of those headaches again Glo... I sent the pictures i took... Hope you get to feeling better.. Hugsss
And they did bring in those new leaves as Belle was working in that area right where she lays her eggs ...
I know its really early for them to begin working like that but last season when i went over to NCTC 1 of the guards at the shack we were chatting and he said once he saw 1 of the eagles fly over and land near by and thought it had killed something but it was like jumping up and down and when it took off had its talons full of grass.. So they pull it out of the ground...
HI NILLA--
Wow, you got to see our beauties and were all alone. Thanks for sharing their photos.
It rained down here on Shepherdstown road about an hour or so ago, but was not very hard and only lasted about 5 minutes. It is thundering again right now. Hope we get some more rain. It is still dry under our trees.
Well maybe a slight chance of them returning once more but i doubt it ..its thundering and lightening now here once again... Jill had a call from Tonna we had along talk.. MT nest still at 7:15pm
Just checked in on Squiggles--sound asleep all by herself.
Howdy Wanda yes i was not paying attention to the cam and looked up and there they were... Just beautiful... I heard many places here in Martinsburg have no power.. News said we got over and inch in less than a few minutes here it rained so hard...
NILLA--Did your son get feeling back into his legs yet? How is he doing?
My Mother lives in town by the City Hospital. I will have to check in on her.
He is doing fine Wanda thanks... Oh and he sold that racing motor bike the other day, he had his accident on, so thats 1 less worry..lol
Well i dont think they will appear again but i would bet they are roosting up on a higher branch where they like to set.. I hope Mema Jo made it to pizza ok without getting drenched...
Yep--one less worry. My two daughters are both in their 40's and I still worry about them. My Mother is 87 and she still worries about me. You just never stop worring about those you love.
Isn't it good to hear Jo's getting out and about now and feeling so good?
Clean up time. BBL
Sure is great Wanda she is 1 tough ole cookie... Oh my loud thunder once again... Battin down the hatches!!
Good afternoon, Folks...
I watched Frieda feeding the chicks in a break from the drizzle...cute little fuzz balls. Only trouble is I could only see two fuzz balls. I hope there hasn't been any bad news.
It's possible to hide one amongst all that fuzz though, I'm sure.
They've got the WE cam and TH cam up again, but you can see the clouds of fog rolling over the nest areas. Better pictures though when you can see.
It's still like 80° and sunny in Santa Ana, but we are a few miles from the coast.
Boy, I used to see those giant "rolls" of fog coming in from the Pacific and up our valley when I lived in Del Mar Terrace...awesome.
Jim
Howdy, all. So glad some of you got a peek at our eagles tonight!
I am beat, was mowing the backyard...
Not a drop of rain here...
Just came back in. From Winchester Ave back to Raliegh doesn't have electric. The State Circle area is out. Wanda your mother probably lost electric but only briefly. I was out at King's Pizza and they only lost electric for a second. Most of the town was flooded. Not many limbs down that I could tell except WV Avenue or NY Ave. Crews were working in there when we came by
WANDA- I was on the phone with the other mag. when the storm hit. He was coming by Gosling Marsh and said the sun was shining bright. I was sitting behind Walmart and couldn't see the mall for all the rain.
NILLA-Joey said she has been at work most of the nights he is there. Could be the others she is off, so at least she is trying to keep the job.
What happened to the falcon cam...Jim, it is 8:15 p.m. here and still 87°.
ok I just got it back...
How was the zoo, Mits?
It was pretty quiet, Paula, and very warm.
Paula, I love the West End cam, beautiful fog was rolling in before.
Isn't it a pretty view?
I did a short video of the West End Nest today, there were some ravens and eagles flying around.
Birds 'n boats
Was hotter than the devil here this evening...well humid actually. Had to take a shower after mowing the lawn.
Nilla's pics are in the album...
Well, that was really neat, Paula. Looked like they were playing tag.
Man I am having IE issues again tonight....
Brace yourself, another storm coming through Martinsburg. Lightning bad. Some places still without electric but have no fear Allegheny Power is on it. Two of their trucks are sitting at Outback. Go figure.
Mits-did you guys get any of these storms? Looks like they went NW and missed you. OC isn't getting anything either.
I am hoping to see the eyasses...
Paula, are you getting bad weather?
If we're lucky and it holds together, maybe get some here...saw some lightening a little while ago, but nothing yet :(
Looks like it might be heading your way, you didn't any of the first one? It was nasty. This one is a little calmer.
Harvest Moon is still out here...pretty.
Nope, not a drop earlier...little bit of wind...was great when I was mowing.
Not a drop, Jill
They have changed the view at Brisbane.
Either the eagle spirits have arrived or Spidey is one busy feller tonight!
nope, now it is back, must be checking cam out for the future.
Or maybe it is a storm?
I just looked at the radar, those storms are really loving it up in Martinsburg.
look at that little fuzzy face
Frieda is feeding chicks again.
See how many you count.
Jim
Yeah Mits I don't think the thunder has stopped for at least an hour. Loud bangs and booms. And bright lightning. No harvest moon here.
I see all 3 :).
WOW, it is really storming outside thunder, lightning I really shouldn't be online and my satellite just lost signal :(.
It really came down this afternoon, was getting my manicure and we lost power a few times thought we were going to need candle power to finish up lol
signal back
Jill my windows are vibrating with the thunder, as much as I love storms like this I hate them when alone, especially if the power were to go out, you know where I am, NO neighbors that are visible
good thing I have some candles lit, lights just dimmed *shudder*
I believe Frodo may be protecting the chicks now.
Jim
chicks in view....
Hello! Pizza was great but we almost got 'drowned' getting up 81 into PA.
Like you Jill, it was bad enough that you wanted to pull over. Very torrential downpour! Then I saw a rainbow when we turned into Greencastle. Coming home I don't think that MD got even a drop! The harvest moon was beautiful coming down over the mountain! Bet you in WV
can't see it with all the storm activity! Really orange & BIG
It still looked like Frieda to me, Jim, didn't have the white dot on its back.
Frieda is back.
Hey there, Robyn! We're here for you
Just hope you don't lose power! You could go to your sister-in-laws-Right?
I saw the moon leaving my sis in laws tonight but it soon vanished behind clouds.
I can Jo but if I lost power I would just go to sleep, cellphone is charged for the alarm in the a.m.
What kind of pizza, did you have, Jo?
my 115 lb lb is more afraid then me lol, had to go to basement to reset the wireless modem,now that was scary lol it is dark down here at night, good thing we didn't lose power then
I was different this evening-
I had spaghetti/meatballs. The others had plain cheese and then green peppers-olives-mushrooms...
It was really good - we go up about once a month.
that was Lab not lb
Where in greencastle Jo?
Sterling radar says it is almost out of here, you may still be getting some of it Robyn and Wanda. Heading almost due north little east.
Went to Tony's in Greencastle right on RT 11 going into town.
Jill - I can hear the thunder!!!
Italian restaurant? I love italian food
It is raining cats & dogs here now.
Like Jill & Robyn, we are having thunder and lightning one strike and one boom after another. Just goes on and on. Wonderful rain. I hope everyone is getting this. It is great for my Fall crops.
mmmm, I love Italian...no rain in Bethesda.
still 85°
Yes, Frieda is back on the fluffies.
Have you read the Catalina report for this week yet? Lot of info on what they're doing to the cameras and pics of the eagles and nests.
Jim
Well, you made me hungry. ladies. Now I've got to go bake some fish sticks or something ... which reminds me, the Dr. said my cholesterol has dropped about 50 to 178 and the good cholesterol is back up in the green zone. Mostly the medicine he gave me, but I have been eating more fish lately.
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY/GOOD MORNING TO SUZANNE AND THE EARLY BIRDS.
JIM
Good for you Jim!
Couple of sprinkles here, but I not much.
Moon still shining here, GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE,,,TTUT!
Maybe I'll get to see the fluff balls...
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE--
SLEEP WELL
There they are...eatin' time!
Their feet are so cute....
Hmmm...seems the pop up window at Brisbane keeps crashing me IE...ARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!
Night Mits, Wanda
Good night Mits, and now Wanda. You still working on schoolwork, Robyn?
Got about 10 rain drops - thunder and lightning has stopped. Perhaps it will return before morning!
Paula I enjoyed watching the ravens/eagles over at the WE nest. Such a great view!
See those fluff balls! Can't wait until they sit up......
They are on big fluff ball at the moment...looks like Mama is eating.
Guess I have a dental in the am. SO
best be heading in to bed soon.
Good night everyone out there!
Peace to You & Yours
See you in the morning all you
Early Birds
Have a good rest Jo.
Good Night, Robyn. I was up too late watching the hatching last night!
Happy Thursday, Suz!
My post disappeared
No I'm finished for the night Paula, was out most of the day with tori and friends. Was worried I lost power too when I got home saw my dusk to dawn light was on...phew
Here is a real intersting story on birds and them seeing magnetic felds which aids in migratory nirds

migratory Birds :)
Night Paula I'm heading to sleep to
there are only 2 eyasses now, i'm sending a pic to the Momsters group email...poor thing. perhaps it just wasn't strong enough?
Good morning, Suzanne.
I slept a couple of hours and then had to get up ... turn everything off for the night.
Thought I would give you a "good morning" before hitting the rack again.
I see Bird Girl thinks there are two Peregrine chicks too. I wondered on here last evening, but I couldn't be 100% sure how many there were with all that fluff.
Have a great day,
Jim
Good morning, world. Just saw BirdGirls last comment, so went to read the webpage. That's too bad, they have a chick they don't know what happend. It's missing. Let's hope the other 2 eyasses make it just fine!
Beautiful night out, got a few drops of rain last night, almost made the roads damp. But 68° at my house, 72° here, so guess it's gonna be a warm one. Had my seranade coming down, so all the crickets and some locusts were out and about.
Will try to glance at blogs, see what I missed.
We have a beautiful pic on our cam of the nest, but MT at the moment. BW is down again, and Bai's nursing den is totally MT. So Bai and Squiggles are sleeping elsewhere tonight. Even looks like a lot of the bedding is gone also. Hum, wonder if somebody cleaned house???
All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Good morning, Jim. You must have commented right after I logged on and started commenting. You need to work out your sleep, you're gonna be dragging! I hope you can go to back to sleep.
I read the comments on the webpage, they have been updated. They even reviewed the cam logs from yesterday, and one chick has totally disappeared. They don't know what happened to it, there were no predators, and either Frieda or Frodo were very near the babies at all times. So it's a bit of a mystery. I'm sorry to hear it, I was hoping all 3 would make it with no problems! Sure hope this is going to be a good year, and no nesting problems like we had last year...they seemed to never end.
Sleep tight if you go back to sleep!
On the Frodo site, they think it was the second chick that went missing, but I saw that one live and healthy, but I don't believe I ever saw the 3rd one ... just that shell with the strange hole in the side.
I agree with one of the people who sent questions...I think Frieda found the third one unviable, made that unusual hole in the shell and disposed of the dead contents.
Jim
Yes, Suzanne, I have to get back to sleep...good news is, I'm feeling really sleepy right now...
Until later in the morning, have a great time.
Jim
Jim, sorry I missed you! I went to check my Yahoo mail, and found some articles and pics of pandas, to include our Squiggles on their main page. Well, stop the world, had to look at that. Quite a few pics of Squiggles during her exams. Also read where the Chinese government has now stopped giving/loaning pandas to any other foreign government, as of last Thursday. That sucks! Didn't read details, will have to do that.
Yes, Jim, read that, but also saw the pic of the one they think disappeared on the web site, so it was hatched. Not sure what's going on.
Bai is now in the birthing den and nursing Squiggles.
Our eagles are due in a few minutes, if they are running true to form.
Frieda is on babies, looks like she's checking them. SHE LEFT, 2 BABIES VISIBLE!!!!
