GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!

It isn't raining here but it is up to 63% humidity, which is like 10X what it was a few days ago.

Have a great weekend, everyone. Let's start today.

Jim

floralgirl said...

Maybe he went back to sleep:)

movin said...

There is now an eagle at BW, but it doesn't look like it has rained there yet.

Jim

floralgirl said...

Aha, there he is... Norma, I found the hub cap when we were tilling one of the gardens. Hubby sat it on large rock out front and we keep it filled with water. The bluebirds love it...

movin said...

Hahaha. "Back to sleep," Megan! Have I ever done that before?

Good morning, Paula, Megan, Mits, Norma, Mema Jo and all...

Jim

movin said...

Somebody has been laying leaves in the bottom of our wet nest. I wonder who....

Jim

normabyrd said...

MEGAN---Bet that it attracts birds & is attractive at the same time!!!!!----I need one!!---

Costume Lady said...

Megan--I use an over-turned trash can lid for the animals and larger birds to drink from and bath in. They seem to know whick bath is for them and the smaller birds know where their place is.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at BW again.

normabyrd said...

WHOA JIM----What do you mean--"LET'S START TODAY"?----We started the DAY much earlier---before you went to BED--ho!

normabyrd said...

WANDA!!---Now I can handle that---Never thought of using Garbage Lids---I have one I was ready to send to trash!!! ---I WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE BEAUTIFUL NECKLACES!!---THEY CERTAINLY MADE OUR DAY COMPLETE & WITH PAULA'S EAGLE PIN---Felt like I was in EAGLE HEAVEN!!---ho!---THAT IS HARD TO TOP!!!---

normabyrd said...

JIM---Doesn't the NEST look BEAUTIFUL with the colored leaves!!-----Maybe when the rain slows down---they will be back--"MOVIN' THE STICKS"---I love watching them fuss with the sticks!!!!

normabyrd said...

IS THAT REALLY TAI IN THE TREE IN THE POURING RAIN????---Well!!---he is certainly is full of tricks!!---Nothing could be funnier!!!---LITTLE IMP!!!!

movin said...

Squiggles is really workin those hind legs today...must've read this week's exam report.

Jim

Mema Jo said...

LunLun & ButaButa in hammock room - probably time to nurse but looks more like play-fight

Mema Jo said...


SHARK BREAK


NORMA, HERE ARE DIVERS & SHARK FOR YOU

Mema Jo said...

You can chose the shark or the whale - Watch them follow your cursor
Pick the underwater scene you want
Don't forget to Bookmark

Mema Jo said...

Rainy day is good for panda naps...
I'll be returning after while.

Jill said...

BW has an visitor. And it looks like the sun is peaking through the clouds. Wish it would here.

Mema Jo said...

Jill - the visitor is going to be there a long time unless the cam gets movin' again... Froze at 12:29:01
At least it's giving us a good pic!

Hope Zachery is feeling better today.

Mema Jo said...

ButaButa looks like a miniature of LunLun !

MITS said...

that is a fun site...Jo!

Jill said...

LOL JO. Didn't even look at the time. But the sun was shining. HE HE

Zach went to school today and hasnt' come home yet so I think he is better. Hasn't skated in 2 days, maybe having withdraw and really isn't going to like me when I tell him he can't skate until dishes are done. Bad Mom.

Mema Jo said...

Jill - Just tell him he needs clean dishes to get the next meal....Then hand him his board.

Mits - Will be fun when Norma asks for the DIVERS! She can have her own

Now I really need to go get some things accomplished...... no napping today!

Mema Jo said...

I can't get my Hotmail up!!!!
so don't expect me to answer or send any messages for awhile.......

MITS said...

Jo, just got an e-mail from you, but it eneded up in my screened mail file...it does that sometimes.

Jill said...

Won't work Jo. tried it. Better off taking the board and waiting patiently. Get more accomplished that way than telling him he can't have food, he will just go across the street and eat. Neighbors have him spoiled. HEHE

paula eagleholic said...

I told the little bird to stop, stop, stop.
I went to the window to say 'How do you do?'
He wagged his little tail and far away he flew!

NillaWafer said...

Liberty and Belle
Fly around,
Up to the sky,
Down to the ground.
Liberty and Belle
Flap your wings.
Open your beak
And sweetly sing.
Liberty and Belle
Fly to your nest.
Now it is time
To take a rest.
Please stop by and see us.

Then jump up and chase them with a big rat i was storkin on my lap as a pet...lol We did it for a Animal Rescue No Kill here... Either donation of money or dog food... It was so big even the city cops came by to watch we had no trouble...

NillaWafer said...

MITS said...

MITS said...

NillaWafer said...

Oh and we had a building that we had a surgery staged with real chicken livers and stuff we would take like a group of 10 in at a time... My son John was always Jason with the chain saw...... we had people jumping down out of trees and graves dug with someone laying it them... We really enjoyed it each HALLOWEEN

Finally got a chance to look at all the photos on Momsters from the Open House and the Potomac Eagle Train.

Thank you Jo, Glo, Suz and Anne for the pictures. (I'm sorry if I forgot anyone!) I hadn't seen any of the Battson animal pics....how cool! Did ya'll know that was Rick Lemmon, Director of NCTC standing next to Larry Batson with the python?

And the eagle train pics are great, beautiful scenery. That train is really long! I thought it would be shorter.

The eagle pics are great...you can see the white heads and tails in the pics!

Thanks everyone for the pics! If you haven't looked at them lately, they are great!

paula eagleholic said...

paula eagleholic said...

WAX!!

:):):)

Lisa said...

"Happy Feet" was awesome! So glad it won the Oscar for animated movie of the year. Good environmental message too.

I just watched "Surf's Up" (another penguin animated film). It doesn't have an environmental message, but it was a fun movie. Beautiful computer animation.

wvgal_dana said...

Lisa I'll have to check that one out.

Well I'm woren out. See all tomorrow. Nite

paula eagleholic said...

I haven't seen Happy Feet yet - did see March of the Penguins tho. Great movie too.

glo said...

Paula Paula You ask way too many questions,LOL... as far as Lib is concerned there is MTBR...but not for like 60 days hint hint.

Mema Jo said...

Good Night everyone...

paula eagleholic said...

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY/GOOD SATURDAY MORNING TO THE EARLY BIRDS...

I got sidetracked and never got back over to the nestcams today.

Have a great weekend. Enjoy.

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Well it is 7:27am on our nest cam. Unless I missed L & B coming in. They should be arriving.

Can't believe I'm first on here for Sat. morning.

I did watch Meerkat Manor for my first time Paula. It was sad. Think I should have started watching at a better time. sniffle

wvgal_dana said...

Looking back 1 comment Jim was in here at yikes 3:50am our time. Morning Jim.

wvgal_dana said...

I can barely see her but Squiggles is asleep by herself.

wvgal_dana said...

It is really windy in Maine today.

I think Tai is ready to go outside.

wvgal_dana said...

Tai is back to sleep and I think that is just where I am going.

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning on this sleepy Saturday.
Checking out all cams looking for birds & critters... Not too lucky so far! Even Dolly isn't in cam range. I missed chatting with Dana who checked things out earlier......

Mema Jo said...

Eagle has come into the platform at BW - He is sooooooooooo wet! The BW cam has correct date/time - seems to be refreshing.

glo said...

Good Mornign everyone. Enjoy your weekdn. Cam is nice and clear ofr picture taking. Come on you two its itme to be a checking in on the homefront.

paula eagleholic said...

Soggy eagle for sure at BW!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, Glo, Jo and Dana.

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, looks like our rain has finally hit Maine...starting to clear off here.

MITS said...

GOOD SATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE Rain is pulling out of our area now, was really raining hard early this morning, we REALLY need this.

glo said...

Eagle at Cape Coral

Mema Jo said...

Thanks for heads up of Cape Coral
Breezy down there - good clear pic on cam

Mema Jo said...

Early morning heavy fog for sure at Kent......

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Jo, Paula, Glo, and Mits.

Eagle still at Cape Coral cam

Mema Jo said...

It is brightening up outside.. Not quite rays of sunshine yet - but might get to that point later this afternoon.

QUESTION: Do we in MD time zone turn our clocks back an hour tonight???

Mema Jo said...

Guess I found the answer!No we don't!

National Post Hand off the clock! It's still Daylight Saving Time - 17 hours ago
This year Daylight Saving Time doesn't take effect until 2 am the first Sunday in November, instead of the last Sunday in October. ...

Mema Jo said...

I'll be back later in the day..TTUL

MITS said...

Remember they are stretching it out, Jo, we were 3 weeks early in the spring, and, 1 week later in the fall, so next Saturday night we fall back.

wvgal_dana said...

Well I am off to a baby shower. See you friends later this evening.

movin said...

GOOD MORNING AGAIN, ALL EAGLE LOVERS.... Dana, Mema Jo, Paula, Glo.

That poor eagle at BW still looks like he's been through the wash-dry cycle.

I guess the nesters on our cam came in before any of us...new leaves, I believe.

Jim

Mema Jo said...
