Tuesday

Its been an extremely hectic day. The guys are still in the midst of the fuel cell installation, but as you can see the cam is finally back thanks to a fix out in Denver.

We have been working hard on the Open House, scheduled for this weekend here at NCTC. Make sure you all come out. Lots of critters to see, and the Momsters will have a table.

Thanks for coming back, Lib! :)

MITS said...

LOOKS LIKE HE IS GROWLING..

paula eagleholic said...

This is sooooooo nice!

Mema Jo said...

Dana - I'm like you - it is OUR eagle. I usually try to gauge the length of the eagle and compare to the width of the nest. Belle usually fills it up - side to side.

normabyrd said...

I GUESS STEVEN HEARD ME & STUCK THAT EAGLE IN THE NEST!!---WOW!!
HELEN---BEEN SO LONG----WHICH ONE IS IT?-----AN EAGLE!!!!!!---LIFE IS GOOD!!!

paula eagleholic said...

paula eagleholic said...

Night light starting to come on.

normabyrd said...

MITS said...

EAGLES DOWN AT TESORO

Mema Jo said...

Has anyone actually seen a schedule of events (times & locations) for the Open House? I know we get a program when we arrive - I am wondering where they going to put that giant fish tank..

normabyrd said...

WOW!!!---What a wonderful suprise for SUZANNE!!!!----She will be so HAPPY!!!!---Have tons of stuff to do tonight!!!---

Mema Jo said...

Both are there - they are beautiful.
I actually got the site to open!
Not the driving one!! Don't want it.

wvgal_dana said...

Wonderful show and even Norma showed up wow ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Oh boy the two eagle at Florida are awesome too thanks for the alert.

Mema Jo said...

I can't take a picture on the Tesoro site..... Anyone else able to capture it?

wvgal_dana said...

Can't see the very top of tree in Florida to see if the one eagle moved to higher branch.

Mema Jo said...

If someone is driving the camera - they have it in reverse! Farther & farther away from the nest we go!!

wvgal_dana said...

Oh neat just spread wings now the one is in nest and other on lower branch. Anyone know how to take a pic here with this new cam and remote???????

MITS said...

no can't take a pic, but someone is driving the site I'm watching,,,,

MITS said...

one is nest, ond down on branch

wvgal_dana said...

One flew out of nest to be with the one on the lower branch they are now together (Florida).

paula eagleholic said...

Gonna go grab some chow...

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Dana for the pictures of tonight's visit - I'll get them over into the album.

wvgal_dana said...

You choose Jo cause maybe someone else got better for the time I have ok... ( : All of mine don't have to go in the album.

MITS said...

off to fix dinner.

wvgal_dana said...

Getting almost too dark in Florida to see the two on branch.

wvgal_dana said...

Our eagles are probably sitting on branches in the sycamore tree also.

MITS said...

Dana if I were a betting woman, I bet they are really close by.

wvgal_dana said...

It is snowing at the Oregon nest you must go look

wvgal_dana said...

Mits I feel you are right.

Mema Jo said...

Going over to the albums...BBL

MITS said...

I just looked there right before I came here, must have stopped.

paula eagleholic said...

Mits, sorry I couldn't grab any Tesoro pics for you.

paula eagleholic said...

Jo - I have not seen a schedule of times for the Open House yet.

Jill said...

Checked the website but no schedule. Anybody want to sign up to dissect owl poop???????

Robyn said...

I can't seem to keep my eyes open and the cam was visible till my eyes closed and took me away.
Mits 2hr 30 min to get to faifax that means an hur sitting in traffic, just under 90 min to get home.

Jo honestly I do not know how many animal faces are in picture, but I trust you ladies to find an answer :)

Norma good report on Tori, but it is a long recovery, 2 to 5 years.

Evening Paula, Dana, Wanda

Heard there was a BIG accident on 70 my friend said he waited in traffic while the injured was airlifted out.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL Jill, it's a pellet, not poop!

Jill said...

Accident on 70 was reported on NBC25, said avoid 70 if at all possible. Brad said it happened around 5:15, he missed it but the guys that left after him got caught in it. Tractor Trailer vs Truck.

paula eagleholic said...

Robyn, I see 6. And I found the eagle :)

Robyn said...

Jill he was about 1/4 to 1/2 mile behind, luckily our date is tomorrow eve we almost made it tonight, took him almost 2 hrs to get out of there. Said the truck was demolished

Jill said...

I am sure it did Robyn. Once you are in the traffic up there there is no way out. If you are lucky enough to be near an exit, you can get off and use one of the back roads but if you are right on the accident you are screwed.

Just read where the boy lost on Dolly Sods has the mental capacity of a 3 year old. Poor thing must be scared to death up there alone.

Mema Jo said...

Paula Counting the hidden eagle in the mountain - there are 7 figures! I love that picture. I really like the wolf!

Mema Jo said...

I think I just found a lizard or an alligator right in back of the wolf
Am I seeing things

paula eagleholic said...

I don't see it, Jo.

Robyn said...

what is that under the wolf Jo

paula eagleholic said...

I keep trying to see something there also, but can't make anything out.

Mema Jo said...

Do you mean a darkish figure - looks like a buffalo? I bet there are quite a few figures in there that we haven't yet noticed. Where did you get the picture? Was there an answer key?

Robyn said...

there was no answer key, found it on photobucket

MITS said...

ahhhh, can I ask what you are all talking about????

Mema Jo said...

I'll send you a picture in email Mits to enlarge (Robyn's Avatar (sp?)

Jill said...

There is some kind of cat under the wolf

paula eagleholic said...

Robyn - I would love that picture if you have it larger :)

Mema Jo said...

Look for an eagle right in the center (not the fishing one) Paula found it
It is cool......


OK I will be out of here for and hr or two...... BBL

MITS said...

I see a mountain goat or something with horns on the left, and a grizzly bear in the middle

paula eagleholic said...

Take a peek at Dolly...she is looking so adorable!

Jill said...

There is a mountain goat and a ram almost together. And something that looks like a bird head right above the ram.

Jill said...

Looks like Dolly is in trouble now. Parent standing over her.

paula eagleholic said...

I would say, from left to right...Mountain goat, ram, bear eagle, mountain lion, wolf

MITS said...

YEAH, mountain goat and big horn ram

MITS said...

looks like a bobcat to the rt of the grizz;y

MITS said...

looks like a bull to the right of the big horn sheep/ram.

wvgal_dana said...

NIght everyone

Morning Suzanne

paula eagleholic said...

Night, Dana.

MITS said...

night, Dana.

Mema Jo said...

Glad you are finding them all - anyone find the lizard?

Good night my friends
Peace to You & Yours


Good morning early birds
Hope the cam is UP for you!

MITS said...

looks like a lizard or gator on the lower right side.....GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE.

paula eagleholic said...

I'm hitting it too! Good night to anyone still awake!

Robyn said...

aww I come back from the store and everyone is gone

Mits I thought it might have been a badger or something like that on the lower right under the wolf

Robyn said...

Paula I copied it and made it my desktop background, which made it larger

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE/GOOD MORNING TO SUZ AND THE EARLY CREW....

JIM

Robyn said...

It's a fox, lower right under wolf :), does anyone else see that?

Robyn said...

When everyone has been refreshed with a good nights sleep, here is another one.

Mits you expecially, find the hidden pandas :)

http://www.moillusions.com/2006/05/how-many-pandas-can-you-spot.html

glo said...

Got a question for ya. How many are wearing jeans to Rumneys on Sat night? Thanks for your input with this.

Robyn said...

Here is a link to a whole bunch of find 'ems :) I love these kind of puzzles. I have a set of collector plates that are of find 'em animals.

http://www.moillusions.com/2006/05/spot-object-category.html

Robyn said...

I am glo, Black jeans

Jill said...

I will probably wear jeans. Or cords. Nothing fancy.

glo said...

OK gals thanks so much...makes that part of packing lots easier :)

Costume Lady said...

It just started sprinkling rain here. Hope it rains itself out before Saturday.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE--
GOOD NIGHT'S REST.

Costume Lady said...

GLO--Don't forget a warm jacket. Early mornings and evenings are chilly now here.
NITE.

Jill said...

Had a little shower here earlier. Well just missed the forecast.

They are having a wine tasting at the Shepherdstown Day Care November 10. Does this sound strange to anybody but me?

Anne-Marie said...

Anybody home?

Anne-Marie said...

Well I got my washing done and my maps printed out. Here's praying Map Quest knows where I'm going. If I dont show up send out a search party. I have confirmed everything but my boarding pass.I will pack tomorrow night.I'll bring jeans too. I'll check in tomorrow night. Good morning Suzanne.

Jill said...

Good heavens Anne, don't trust mapquest. What directions do you have? From where to where? Let one of us check them before you head any where.

Robyn said...

Anne you also have my cell if you get lost give a call.

Megan if you would like to carpool let me know we have plenty of room

Robyn said...

ok I am going to bed

Morning Suz see ya at 6 lol

Robyn said...

Before I go...

Saturday Oct 20
A few showers are possible early as the front moves eastward. If it moves faster we could clear out for the whole day

Suzanne said...

Good morning, world. See the new thread. Steve, do you know you have Momsters coming from California for your Open House????? We guys and gals don't fool around, we totally support you and NCTC and the Open House.
Too bad we couldn't get the gals across the pond to attend to! Maybe next year. You have Momsters all over the world, and the States. We're all bringing out checkbooks, so make sure the gift shop has lots of eagle merchandise! And of course, Paula's table!
Wow, we also have a cam, how cool is that! Ok, getting a little excited here! And a beautiful pic of Squiggles and Bai sleeping, they have evidentally repaired the broken infrared light, so it's a nice pic.
Beautiful night out, 62° both in PA and Va. We had some sprinkles last night, back porch and roads were wet until I got a couple miles from 15, then the roads were dry. Also saw a whole herd of deer this morning, way too many to even begin to count, they were all in a field, so that was cool to see. Then saw about 6 together down here, so the moms and babes are hanging together. Must be time for the males to start doing their thing!
Ok, have to find my cams again. With the upgrade, they rearranged all my favorites, so takes me a while to find them, or try to remember the addr, and that's not gonna happen!
All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Oh, Bai must moved to laying on her back, Squiggles didn't move. Bai moved her whole body, BUT the right arm which is holding Squiggles. That is just too cute.

movin said...

Good morning, Suzanne.

I crashed early, with my computer still on @#$%&*!! But now I'm up to go to the boy's room, and I thought I would say "good morning."

That's unusual to see so many White Tail deer in a herd, I believe... much more common with the Mule Deer we have out West here.

How's your day going so far??

Jim

movin said...

Frieda is on guard (and she is in sight) over Dolly chick tonight.

If you can get Pete's Pond, they are focusing on the Weaver Birds building their elaborate nests in a tree or bush near the camera...those nests are awesome.

Jim

movin said...

Suzanne must be busy with work or something.

I'll check back later.

Jim

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jim. Hope I haven't missed you. I'm here, but was busy doing something else. Seems it's going to be one of those days.
I thought it was unusual to see so many deer together also. In the over 2 years I've been coming down here, I've never seen so many together. And then to see 6 together down here too, what's going on with that? Never heard of them running together like that.
See Frieda keeping an eye on Dolly, and man, she's growing fast. I'm sure glad.
Bai went outside for a few, is not back and she and Squiggles are snoozing. Too cute.
Hey, oyur kids are due any minute! You're up to see them...if they show.

MITS said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE off to make coffee and wait for B & L.

MITS said...

EAGLE IN THE NEST!!11111

carolinabeachmom said...

A GOOD WEDNESDAY MORNING TO YOU JIM AND SUZANNE. I haven't had a chance to get on here lately.

SUZANNE, glad to see that you were ok on Monday when you didn't get on. I haven't read the blog yet,but take it everything


EAGLE ALERT

carolinabeachmom said...

oNE IS NEST.

Suzanne said...

EAGLE ALERT JUST ARRIVED!!!

MITS said...

LOOK AT THE GLOWING EYES

Suzanne said...

BOTH EAGLE ALERT!!!

Suzanne said...

WOW, GOOD MORNING MITS AND CANDY!!!! GLAD YOU GUYS ARE HERE TO SEE OUR BABIES. Yup, caps lock was on, I was excited to see you guys so early!

carolinabeachmom said...

Our class had their Pumpkin Patch trip to Powells Market all yesterday and that was some tiring day. Never got on to read blogs or email last night at all.

You all must be getting very excited to have the weekend at NCTC and train ride sooo close.I know you will all have a very good time.

Talked to my son on Monday about you all going on the Eagle Ride from Romney. amd the stinker said that he had been thinking about taking me on it. I told him if I had only known, that you were going this Sunday, but now it is too late. Oh well. That is life.

He is saying that he wants me to look at a house that he would like to buy. Anything would be better than paying someone else rent money forever. Time will tell.

Suzanne said...

One left, think that may have been Lib. Guess Belle told him where she wanted a stick, and he didn't agree or something.

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MORNING TO YOU MITS! Now all Suzanne needs is sleepyhead WANDA.:)

MITS said...

SUZ, Lib is actually still there at 12 o'clock, can still see his talons

Suzanne said...

Lib back, along with the squiggly lines!

Suzanne said...

DANG!!!!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Have to get some things ready in the room, but have the eagle cam on so I can watch.

You all have a wonderful Wednesday. Only three more days to go to seeing eachother.

Both eagles on nest now.

SUZANNE No hitting deer; especially a whole herd of them. Give Gypsy and all your other kitties hugs from me, and have a save trip home.

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Mits, didn't see his talons, but did see him as soon as he turned around. Kinda hard to see with those squiggly lines!
OH LOOK.. both looking up, how cool is that!

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Candy, you be careful driving too. I try to drive slow enough where the deer hang out so I don't hit them!
Keep sneaking peeks at the cam, they're both still there.

Suzanne said...

Well, poof, Lib gone.

Suzanne said...

Dang lines!!

Suzanne said...

Belle is still hanging out, but those squiggey lines are slowly but surely taking over the picture.

MITS said...

you think she is waiting for breakfast.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SUZ--
I am really enjoying this. Are you watching this Mits, with coffee in hand?

Suzanne said...

Well, she still has both feet on that stick, so maybe she's gonna move it yet. Maybe she's waiting for Lib to come back and help her.

Costume Lady said...

Belle seems very comfy in that spot. Maybe hoping Lib will bring breakfast.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Wanda. Glad you got up to see her! She's either waiting for breakfast, or help to move the stick. Hope Lib comes back one way or the other. Be nice if he brought a fish!

Suzanne said...

Uh oh, just dawned on me...Wanda, you mentioned coffee to Mits.. MITS...No 5 CUPS!!! Just a cup or two while watching...

Costume Lady said...

Mits, we are having the same thoughts here this morning.

Suzanne said...

Bai is nursing. She was holding Squiggles, she just got up.

Belle still there, folks.

Suzanne said...

Well, darn, I no sooner posted that last, and she was gone next refresh. See the stick hasn't moved. Pic is clearing up along with daylight.

EAGLE BACK!!!

Costume Lady said...

Belle is gone and I am gone (for COFFEE) BBL

Suzanne said...

Well, now Lib left. So....wonder if they'll be back.

Suzanne said...

YUP!!!

MITS said...

Haven't had the 1st cup yet....going to be a long day for me I have 2 shifts at the zoo today. My regular shift from 1 til 4 and there is a private party for 300+ patent lawyers tonight, from 6 to 9.

Suzanne said...

Think that's Lib again.
Lighter it gets out, better pic gets.

Suzanne said...

BOTH THERE NOW!!!

Suzanne said...

Each are moving their own sticks!!!

Suzanne said...

Wow, Mits, you're gonna be busy! I don't envy you.

Suzanne said...

OH, looks like new leaves!

Robyn said...

Morning Suz, Wanda, Candy, Mits

Got to see the eagle in our nest but just before hshe flew of. As I drove tori to the bus we saw our neighbors dog running with a realy pretty cat in his MOUTH, if I had a gun I would have shot him. I sat there till my neighbor came out, he will put dog in till cat gets out of the tree it ran up when I was chasing them down the road in my jamas, what a scene that was.

Suzanne said...

Wow, check out the fog at BW! Eerie pic.
Lib and Belle still hanging out.
Bai and Squiggles back to snoozing, midnight snack over.

MITS said...

YIKES, THEIR BACK, DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE THEM AGAIN

Suzanne said...

Gone again. I'll send pics in a few.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Robyn! Sounds like you've had an exciting morning all ready! So was the cat alright? I mean, if he ran up a tree, dog must have let him out of mouth. I'm probably with you, I'da shot him. Or wanted to, anyway! I woulda yelled so loud I woulda scared the dog to death.

Glad you got to see Lib and Belle! They've made 3 stops this morning!

Suzanne said...

WOAH.....VISIT 4 TODAY.

MITS said...

BACK AGAIN

Suzanne said...

Well, she left again! Hum, wonder if they'll be back.

Jill said...

Suzanne-deer run in herds. In the mountains you will see 20 together in fields. They usually seperate when spooked by something.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING--
Sure wish I had a camera on you running around with your Jammies. Now you are the Queen of the PJ Club.

Suzanne said...

Ok, Mits, and anybody with you. Time for me to go down the hall! It is ABSOLUTELY necessary! BBS

MITS said...

SUZANNE...go look at the Great Smokies...sunrise

Costume Lady said...

SUZ...The video of the "Dentist" was sooo funny. Had me ROFLMBO. Sent it to my Dentist.

MITS said...

by myself afternoon shift, which is usual, and have one other person tonight.

Costume Lady said...

Great Smokies is beautiful, MITS. Tried to view Seneca Rocks, but it is not on this morning.

Costume Lady said...

MITS...Do you volunteer in the Winter months?

Suzanne said...

Wow, that is beautiful, Mits. Love watching the sunrise there, absolutely georgous!

Suzanne said...

Wanda, glad you liked the video. I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes!
