Monday




New thread.

Addendum:

It was quite a scene this morning as major construction was done by the eagles on the nest. It is sure looking good for another nesting season.

GOOD MORNING STEVE--Hope you had a nice weekend. Thanks for the NEW WEEK thread.

Costume Lady said...

Love this shot.

Suzanne said...

Awesome pic, Steve!!! And a beautiful pic on the cam!
Thanks for the new thread, and thanks for the heads up, Wanda.
They found Tai, he's now eating his bamboo breakfast. Eagle still in BW.

Suzanne said...

Uh oh, lost Belle's head. She was getting more sticks to move, and Lib is still supervising.

Suzanne said...

See how she fills the nest, Wanda?

Suzanne said...

Well, darn, both gone.

Costume Lady said...

Yes Suz, I think I will be able to tell the difference now. Thanks.

Suzanne said...

Just checked, Belle's back.

Costume Lady said...

21 Min. visit. That gave me my FIX for the day. COFFEE time. BBL

Suzanne said...

Well, not sure if this is Belle or Lib. May be Lib, in any case, someone is back in the nest.

Costume Lady said...

BEAUTIFUL SHOT!!

Suzanne said...

Okie, dokie, that was Lib, Belle has joined him, and has a stick in her mouth!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning everybody. Been watching Liberty and Belle doing their nestorations this morning. What a beautiful way to start the day!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SHARON--
It is a great way to start the day, isn't it. Makes my day complete.

Suzanne said...

Sure is, Sharon!
Lib just left, Belle still there, but getting ready to go.

Costume Lady said...

Is ther FROST in Bluefield? We have some here.

Suzanne said...

poof, Belle gone too. Two nice visits this morning!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

In and out quite a bit this morning.

Suzanne said...

Woah, back again!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

There is frost in Bluefield this morning. COLD!! BBBBRRRRR!

glo said...

Good Morning all. I see Lib and Belle are very busy bright and early today. Cam is also working just wonderful. Gonna be a great time watching them today.

Costume Lady said...

Wow, Up close and personal.

Suzanne said...

wow, beautiful Belle!

Suzanne said...

Hey, Glo. Eagle in BW too!

Suzanne said...

Poof, gone. Another nice visit. Love this cam pic, it's beautiful!!

Suzanne said...

Ok, guess this is a good day for nestorations! Looks like they'll be in and out.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Appears to be having a little bit of difficulty with a big stick!

Costume Lady said...

BEAUTIFUL PAIR!!

glo said...

Both are back. Man it is so awesome when they are there and the cam is clear. They are just so awesomely beautiful. I could just sit here. Wonder how long my dogs are gonna let me do that LOL.

Suzanne said...

Wow, looks like Lib is talking and Belle is listening for once. Well, don't know what kind of look she's giving him...

Suzanne said...

Off for another stick, I guess.

Costume Lady said...

I thought Belle said "Let's get some breakfast"...LOL

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING GLO...They are special, aren't they?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

More sticks!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

You know it makes it so different for me since seeing them live and in person. Glo, I am so glad you got to see them while you were there!

Costume Lady said...

When you have time, check out BOB'S photos last night at 9:50pm. What do you think the white fuzzy object is? And do you see a FISH hanging from the trees in the Scenic Path photo?

Suzanne said...

Both back!

Costume Lady said...

Yes Glo, I, too, was so happy to hear that you gals went back to the nest early and saw our pair. You did see both of them didn't you? I wish Anne had gone with you. Felt so bad that she came all this way and didn't see them. I think she had a good time anyway. We enjoyed meeting you and Anne. It was a very special day.

Suzanne said...

Guess since it's so chilly this morning they decided they better get in gear and redo their nest! Mating time is just around the corner!

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---Well the 'FROST IS ON THE PUNKIN' & BELLE & LIBERTY are in the nest!!---WOW!---That will certainly OPEN one's eyes!!!!---MORNING STEVEN!--THANKS FOR YOUR COOL PIC & HELLO WANDA---SUZANNE--BLUEFIELD SHARON & GLO!!!----Crisp a.m. in WV 27°---LIFE IS GOOD!!!---ENJOY!!!!!

Suzanne said...

Wowk check out the flying with the huge stick!!!

Costume Lady said...

This cold weather must tell them that they need to hurry. Sticks get frozen together and are hard to pull apart.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Think that is more like a limb than a stick!

Costume Lady said...

My goodness, we do have a good crew on here this morning.
GOOD MORNING NORMA
HOW ABOUT THEM EEEEEERRRRRS!!!

Suzanne said...

Man, she's been moving some very big branches!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Looked like she was discussing the issue with him.

normabyrd said...

CAN you believe the size of that stick that LIBERTY is MOVIN' around!!----WHAT A MORNING!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning, Normabyrd!!!!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Norma! Such a pleasure to watch nestorations this morning.

normabyrd said...

YEAAAAH WANDA---What about them EEEEEEERS!-----& FL was defeated!!!

Suzanne said...

There she goes again, same big stick!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Where is Jo and Mits? They are missing all the action this morning but I am sure we have all taken plenty of pics to send them! :)

Suzanne said...

She's very industrious this morning!

Suzanne said...

Well, our little guy finally showed up to help!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Now Liberty is working on the big stick.

normabyrd said...

HEY!!---I think the "ROYAL FAMILY" have been waiting for a FROSTY A.M.!!----WOW!!----AWESOME SIGHT!!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Suz, I think Liberty had been there for a little while over in his spot. Don't like that the cam view cuts his perching spot off.

Costume Lady said...

I am enjoying this so much, I can't stop watching. I do need to get the shop ready. 3 more days and it's all over til Santa time.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Love this up close and personal view though. Think we will be able to see Spunky's hiding spot better now too.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I think I would have already thrown that stick to the base of the sycamore tree.

normabyrd said...

SHARON---I missed seeing that part of the nest!!----THIS IS REALLY UNREAL----Are we sure this is a live watch & not a video!!---JUST KIDDIN'----TOO AWESOME!!!---

normabyrd said...

AREN'T THESE SHOTS CLEAR----BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Beautiful Morning and
GREAT CAM PICTURE Suzanne, Glo, Wanda, Sharon, Norma, and cam watchers.

What a sight to behold. ( :

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DANA!!----UNBELIEVABLE---isn't it??----They have been their quite a while--moving sticks!!!

Suzanne said...

Hi Dana. They are very busy this morning.

normabyrd said...

GONE!!

wvgal_dana said...

I read comments and seem they have been back and forth for awhile this morning. They both know when the weather gets colder it's time to fix up the home place.

normabyrd said...

BW EAGLE still sitting there in the sunshine!!!

Suzanne said...

Eagle still hanging out in BW.

Suzanne said...

Suzanne said...

wvgal_dana said...

Back with a stick

carolinabeachmom said...

Hey how long has our eale been there.

Suzanne said...

Bai just came back in the den, pushed Squiggles out of the way, and now she's flipping bamboo all over. Squiggles looks like holding onto some.

MITS said...

GOOD MONDAY A.M., WHAT A SURPRISE off to read rest of blog...

wvgal_dana said...

Well Belle is certainly at the position Spunky liked hiding.

normabyrd said...

CANDY!---They were there when I came down about 8:00----but the blog says they arrived about 7:30 or so!!!!----

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Candy and Mits

normabyrd said...

CANDY----They are still "CHATTING" away---They have been moving sticks most of the morning!!

MORNIN' HELEN!!!---WONDERFUL---waking up & seeing them!!!!!

glo said...

Well the dogs won!!!! I have been off for coffee and dog treats LOL. I see the show has continued however. Wonderful

Yes, I saw both and I was thrilled. It completed my trip. We set he alarm for 5:45 to get up and head to the nest on Sunday morning. LOL didn't need the alarm, even after all that driving and the long day Sat... very early Sun morn the body says GET UP>>>>>Time to head to the nest LOL.

Lets say we were a motley looking crew, as we still had to go back to Harpers Ferry to get ready to go to the train. But the eagles were there and They were beautiful I shall never forget what I saw that morning...being there and seeing them in person as well as their surroundings does add a whole new dimension to this whole experience. I knew I had to go to see them. I am so very glad they "showed up".

normabyrd said...

Is anyone else checking the clock on the nest!!!-----Sometimes---it is the correct time 9 something & then other times it's 8 something???---ARE WE GETTING RERUNS???

Suzanne said...

2 beautiful eagles in BW!

normabyrd said...

Now the pic is back at 8 something with a familar pic!!!---???

normabyrd said...

9 something---MT NEST----just changed from 2 in nest at 8 something????

MITS said...

mine seems to have the correct time right now, Normabyrd, but you are so very observant, I believe you, screen just went black for a second...

wvgal_dana said...

Love the pumpkin game Norma

Yep that was a large mouth bass hanging from the branches in Bob's picture. Thank you Bob for your talent again I love your pictures.

wvgal_dana said...

Glo I am so glad you got to see the nest with Liberty and Belle there. It does make a difference when you see them. It is like OK I have now met you both. Then the implant in the mind never leaves. ( :

MITS said...

thanks for the pic and thread, Steven......WANDA, sorry don't see anything that even slightly resembles a fish. JMHO:)

normabyrd said...

HI HELEN----No--I was reading BW & they stated they have their clock set on SLOW time--which starts this coming weekend!!----Then I was checking ours & I begin to notice the 8 & 9 THING----Then I notice the 8:05 time had the a pic I had seen earlier!!!---NOT NUTS!!----Could be my computer---ho!---BUT I SAW IT!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I love the emailing the comments thingy. Then I just have to look at the email and not hit refresh over and over.

normabyrd said...

MITS---I think WANDA is referring to a pic of BOB'S on yesterday's blog!!!

MITS said...

NORMA, so glad we are going to slow time, this fast time was killing me..tee-hee!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

MITS said...

Squiggles is sound asleep...peacefully. Bai not in den.
Morning, Paula.

Suzanne said...

OOpsie, down one went, and the one who knocked him down took off running!

normabyrd said...

LISA---WONDERFUL this a.m.---We had EAGLES & you had an EAGLE!!---You all usually have one & I have so enjoyed watching him!!

Suzanne said...

Hi Lisa! Seems this cold weather has spurred the eagles into action! You had 2 on the nest for quite a while this morning.

Suzanne said...

SD operator just zoomed in on Squiggles, and lightened the pic. Little cutie is sound asleep.
Mai and Tian are still all over. Mits, who keeps getting knocked down? Sure gets right back up and goes after whoever knocked him down.

normabyrd said...

The "ATLANTA BEAUTY'S" place is still closed!!!!----Hopefully--we can watch her later!!!

normabyrd said...

SD ZOO is preparing MEI SHENG for trip to CHINA----He can not be seen any more---Sunday was the last day----I think!!!

Anne-Marie said...

Hello and good by. Just stopping by to see what your all up to. I'm late and I dont even care. I hate going to work in the dark. TaTa.

MITS said...

Suzanne, it is usually Tian that gets knocked down and comes back for more....

MITS said...

poor Tian is plum tucked out.

normabyrd said...

The "LITTLE PRINCE" is still "snoozing"----He is such a trip---I LOVE HIM!!!---Hope he gets to stay forever!!!!---(will worry about that tomorrow)!!!

normabyrd said...

ANNE--You didn't forget to remove the curlers out of your hair did you???----ho!----Will wish you a HAPPY DAY!!!

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---Do you supposed if we mailed the SD ZOO a "big light bulb" they would use it!!!--ho!---It is a good thing SQUIGGLES is BLACK & WHITE or we would never see her!!!!----The little doll loves to sleep!!!---Like friend at ATLANTA ZOO!!!

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Mits, wasn't sure. They are hilarious! Poor Mai beat him to death, poor guy!
They have treats now, yea? Is that Tian on his back? And Mai can't get her out? or vice versa.
Yeah, Norma, they have it light now, but we need to get 'em a bigger infrared lgiht! Uh Oh, somebody stealing treats! OMG, look at him shaking them out! Hilarious!

Suzanne said...

Awww, Squiggles just rolled over in her sleep onto her tummy. Sound asleep, too cute.
What's the deal with Atlanta? Did they forget to set their alarm????

normabyrd said...

MT NEST at CAPE CORAL----

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE!!----I keep checking on ATLANTA----Don't know what is wrong----Read about their new keeper---doesn't mention anything about closing!!!

Suzanne said...

Good morning, Jim. See you slept in this morning!!
I keep checking it Norma, still closed. Gonna have to get them an alarm clock, and SD an infrared light.
Hummm, so what do we need to get for NZ pandas? Maybe an energy drink for Tai today, he's a little sleepy butt!

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNIN' JIM!!---You missed the show this a.m.---BELLE & LIBERTY were in the nest for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME!!!---moving sticks & posing!!---They were just BEAUTIFUL!!

movin said...

Elephants AND baboons drinking at Pete"s Pond now.

Jim

normabyrd said...

I think sometimes----'He just "vants" to be left alone!!!--ho!!----Guess he doesn't want to act like MOM & DAD!---

normabyrd said...

YARD--1B has a SLOTH BEAR!!!

movin said...

Morning, Norma, Suzanne, Mits... Probably Wanda and Anne-Marie are taking care of business by now.

Jim

normabyrd said...

HEY JIM!!!---Do you have your TRICK OR TREAT CANDY?---Do you get many kids!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Anne bye Anne

Don't like to think about the panda going back to China. It is what it is though.

Jim did you get IE straightened out?

Norma I get aroun 250 for Halloween here.

normabyrd said...

DANA---I bet that takes TONS of candy!!!---Do you dress up too???

normabyrd said...

ATLANTA CAM is open---I see a PANDA on a log---can't tell which yet?---

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

For Halloween, we will have Mattie and Justin. I live up on a hill and most people are too lazy to climb hills anymore. We used to climb all over this neighborhood for candy. Now, they are taken to College Avenue in South Bluefield where it is flat.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

MITS said...

Dana, you are soo lucky, haven't got any candy yet, too few kids come in this neighborhood anymore, hubby will be away, so don't think I will answer the door, or I will go out for the evening.

wvgal_dana said...

I put pink on my nose and cheeks and over my eyebrows. I wear "Clifford" the big red dog slippers and he helps the little ones say Treat or Trick.
On the teens last year whoever wanted to could reach their hand inside a papers bag. They couldn't see what was in it. I would grab their hand while it was in the bag. Some went screaming and came back laughing. One kid said, "Oh no I'm not doing that she probably has doggie doo doo in the bag". That cracked me up lol

movin said...

Norma, it seems I get a lot of trick-or-treaters if I forget to buy the candy, and I get almost none if I buy plenty...it's S-P-O-O-K-Y!

I am planning to get some this year, but so far not.

Jim

MITS said...

EAGLE AT CAPE CORAL

normabyrd said...

DANA---That would scare me too---IF THE SACK GRABBED MY HAND!!---VERY FUNNY!!

I always enjoyed TRICK OR TREAT too when the kids were home----WE used to get lots of kids too!

Suzanne said...

OH, who was that in Atlanta that just did a flip on and right back off the hammock? Too cute. Oh, never mind, that was LunLun. Oh, little Atlanta Beauty was on the hammock for a split second before mom knocked her off!

normabyrd said...

JIM---Make sure you buy a candy that you like---ho!

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle at Cape Coral

movin said...

Dana,
No, I don't think I have IE straight yet, but on the other hand, it hasn't shut down yet this morning. (KOW)

Jim

normabyrd said...

BUTA BUTA is in the hammock!!---LUN LUN is ignoring her!!---but I think this is when the ROCK & ROLL usually starts!!!

movin said...

We could use the shadow of the cam on the nest at BW for a sundial this time of year...

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Jill said...

I know it's late and probably has been answered but.........

The white stuff in the picture is either a mushroom or fungus. I have seen it before but never got close enough to touch it. Usually grows at the base of a tree.

Forgot to look for the fish
