NillaWafer said...

Goodness gracious Mits hurry git down and pray to the cam Gods for it to work and then dance around the room chanting please!!!! Hurryyyyyyyyyyyyy

wvgal_dana said...

No Mits but it does look like an unused xray..

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmmm...wind or weather related I would think...

MITS said...

I don't think that baby is going to come back on til tomorrow:(:(:(

wvgal_dana said...

Well Liberty or Belle could spray painted the cam or put a cloth over it for X-RATED purposes. Waiting to see when they remove the cover lol those two can't keep it up all night. If not removed soon then we know something is definately wrong with the cam...

NillaWafer said...

Nope its not working.. now Mits git nekkid gather up some pillows set in middle of living room and light candles n cross your legs and sing Ima Little Tea Pot ok that might work!!!

NillaWafer said...

Ut Oh now i am getting a service unavailable screen...

paula eagleholic said...

Same here...could be site maintenance or something else....anyhow, no eagles were in the nest, wouldn't be any in there right now either....

NillaWafer said...

well they have had all day to do that and Not when our eagles usuallly come to the nest !!!! %$%$#@^!$%^@! RIGHT!!!

NillaWafer said...

((((((((((( Dana & Ed )))))))))) sorry for your loss of your doggy.

Mema Jo said...

Alright you Momsters - what did you do now? No cam! You're stuck with Dolly for the rest of the evening!

Dana - Nilla's last comment. You ok?

Sgt Ryan's company just got called over to the Hunter Air Field waiting for the aircraft...Headed for Iraq..Prayers please for safe return

wvgal_dana said...

Jo thank you me and Ed and Little Man are handling the absence as best as can. We'll be ok ty.

Prayers for Ryan may ^l^ ^l^ Angels Watch over him.

Bob Quinn said...

Maybe its just me but it looks like its not a cam problem but the entire fws.gov web site

Mema Jo said...

I was told that HELEN really did do it when she tripped over the cord as she was leaving the room! LOL

Mema Jo said...

Bob If it is, then it will be fixed pretty quickly tomorrow am -

Mema Jo said...

But Helen (MITS) You are in Big trouble Now
The whole site you put it down

wvgal_dana said...

If not fws then Denver will have to fix it tomorrow because it runs through Denver. Steven said he would like to find someplace else to run it through but hasn't so far.

Costume Lady said...

JO--Prayers for Ryan every night until he gets home. That makes me so sad. We just had a group of 18-or 19 year olds from our church deployed to Iraq. They spent their last Sunday at home in Church and as they stood being recognized by our minister, they all looked to be near tears (me too).

wvgal_dana said...

Mits if your doorbell rings it's Homeland Security. Lady your in BIG trouble with DIT or DITTO lol whoever lol

Jill said...

Bob, thanks for the link to Waterways. Loved the waterman stories. Reminds me of when my dad would take me to Tangier Island and they would sit around and tell fishing stories.

paula eagleholic said...

You are exactly right Bob. Can't get into fws.gov.

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - So sorry to hear about your dog.

MITS said...

CRAP.....EVEN MY SISTER IS BLAMING ME:):):)

MITS said...

So sorry Dana, what was you dog's name....?

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Paula she is using the legs that couldn't go anymore. Running now through the hills of Rainbow Bridge with our other family pets.

Jill said...

Sorry about your dog Dana.

Prayers for Ryan,JO. Will have my cousin add him to her prayer list.

Wanda-were those guys from Berkeley County? Air Gaurd? HUMMMM. Guess I probably know a few of them.

Is there something going on in Denver? A storm maybe. Maybe something took out the satellite feed. Doesn't appear to be raining here at the moment but clouds were really thick when I came home.

wvgal_dana said...

Well I'm going to head out to watch some tv since our nest is ca-poop.

Jill said...

MITS-I was down your way for a soccer game today. I understand why you like the zoo, the animals are much tamer than the drivers on 270. LOL.

Bob Quinn said...

Sorry about your dog Dana. They are family.

We'll all be waiting for the blog post that Ryan is back home safe and sound Jo.

Bob Quinn said...

Somebody must be troubleshooting the fws.gov web site. It changed from "Service Unavailable" to "Page not found".

Jill said...

Different msg on cam site. Name maybe changed or taken down or unavailable. HUMMM. No Kidding????

Lisa said...

Cool! Our website on the MSNBC site! Nice b-day gift. :-)

I like MSNBC's website; they have a nice section devoted to environmental news.

Mema Jo said...

I'll make that announcement Big & Bold, Bob. I did get one of your pictures on Saturday! Love it.

Jill said...

Bob, how long does it take to get one of your pictures? Thinking of getting an egret for my aunt for Christmas.

Mema Jo said...

Lisa Blackwater is getting
a lot of publicity lately


I hope you had a special day today
Birthday girl!

Mema Jo said...

Email from GLO letting us know that she is home safe & sound!

Costume Lady said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU LISA. How wonderful for you to be able to spend your Special Day with your folks....and in FLORIDA to top it off.
Wanda

Bob Quinn said...

Jill - If you order from the website (www.delmarvaphotos.com)I think it is just a few days if you just get the picture. It ships directly from the printer. If you want one matted then I have create to set up a special item on the site and the photo gets shipped to me and I do the matting and ship it to you so it could take 10-14 days. If the intent is to frame it you should just get the photo without the matt. Cheaper and quicker.

Bob Quinn said...

NCTC cam page is back up but I'm getting the dreaded red x on the camera.

Bob Quinn said...

Cam is up!

MITS said...

weather is clear in Denver

Mema Jo said...

I'll be back in about 2 hrs or maybe sooner

Jill said...

Thanks Bob. I will let you know. Does it take longer if I want a bigger than 8x10 pic?

MITS said...

I will never understand that cam???

Jill said...

Who knows Mits. The little gremlins were running about cyber space messing with sites, I guess.

MITS said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE Still waiting for some rain....

MITS said...

LATEST UPDATE FROM THE SAN DIEGO WILDLIFE PARK As of 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday, October 23, the Wild Animal Park has sustained some fire and wind damage to some facilities, but the animals continue to be okay. Spot fires are still turning up and are being extinguished. A small core of employees are on hand to care for the animals while others are assisting with fire and wind damage. All the California condors remain safely at the fire-safe Paul Harter Veterinary Medical Center. However, one of the empty condor breeding facilities has been lost to fire. Again, the condors were already safely housed at the veterinary facility along with education animals. A storage facility containing Festival of Lights event materials was also burned. Winds have damaged trees throughout the Park, but again the animals and exhibits are weathering the storm.

MITS said...

They have also given an address for people who want to give a tax-free donation, and there are pictures on their site of giraffes and gazelles walking around outside among the smoke

MITS said...

TAX DEDUCTIBLE.....NOT TAX FREE...MY BAD:)

Mema Jo said...

Take a look at Dolly lol

She will eventually look like a beautiful Peregrine falcon

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, she is a real little bandit at the moment....watching the ABC 20/20 special on the CA fires...

Mema Jo said...

Getting some rain here now in the valley.

paula eagleholic said...

We had some light drizzle earlier when I was walking the dogs...

paula eagleholic said...

Good night, all

Mema Jo said...

Good Night Everyone
Peace to You & Yours


Good morning all you
Early Birds! Hope you find Candy

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT TO EVERYONE
SLEEP WELL

Prayers for Jasmin to get well.
Prayers for Dana & Ed to heal their hearts.
Prayers for Jo's "Ryan" as he prepares to go to Iraq.
Prayers for all....

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE/GOOD MORNING, SUZANNE AND THE EARLY EAGLE LOVERS....

I'm tired just from the dry winds and keeping track of the fire news, etc.

The winds are dying down a lot and changing direction slowly... normal is onshore from the SW. The humidity has risen from 8% this morning to 32% now.

So, the WORST OF THE FIRESTORM is over, although there will be a couple of days of high heat, which will make it difficult for the fire fighters.... More fire, more fire news, but the people fighting it should be able to get it under control now.

Rest easy, and we'll talk tomorrow.

Jim

Suzanne said...

Good morning, world. Rainy out, some places not so bad, other places pouring! Not too chilly, though, 65° in PA, 67° here in VA, so not so bad.
We have a nice pic on our cam, hope it stays that way if the kids decide to stop by and say hello.
Bai is sleeping rolled up in a ball, can't see Squiggles, so I'm guessing she has her tucked in to her chest. F&F still in color, long shot of the ledge, and Dolly is sleeping up against the ledge, not the wall or corner for a change.
Lisa updated the osprey website, interesting article on MSNBC.
Bai just moved, on her side now, and Squiggles is being held in mom's paws. Too cute.
All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
OH! I got my pics from Open House on CD last night, I will put them on the momsters site sometime today, soon as I have a chance.

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, SUZANNE...

There have been elephant groups with calves visiting the Pond at Pete's place. And many swallows hunting insects for their young...it's that time of year there.

I sent everybody a few shots of Dolly just before dark. Then she collapsed by the outside wall right where you see her now.

Jim

Suzanne said...

Good morning, Jim. Saw your email, haven't read any mail yet. That little Dolly has hardly moved, she must have been tired! Bai and Squiggles are little sleepy heads this morning too! come to think of it, I coulda stayed in bed a lot longer too!
There goes a boat in Brisbane, how cool!
Are you up for a sec, or going to get up for the day?
OH another boat.

movin said...

Probably not up for too long, Suzanne.

Up to go to the boys' room, the puter was still on, so I've been watching some cams.

Probably will go back to bed pretty soon.

There are a mother Wart Hog with two young, a monkey and an Impala in the same frame at Pete's right now.

Was thinking I haven't seen the Croc for several days????????????

Jim

movin said...

Now, another, larger group of Hogs, a whole troop of baboons and a large group of Impalas are at the Pond.

Jim

Suzanne said...

wow, sounds like Pete's Pond is busy!
I've been busy too, I'm not ignoring you! Trying to go through my pics from the Open House, so I can post them.

EAGLE ALERT, JUST ARRIVED!!!

EARLY BIRD

Suzanne said...

Good grief, very early today! About 15 minutes earlier every day. At this rate, by next week they'll be in the nest at 4 waiting for me!

movin said...

Must have left soon too, Suz.

Jim

Suzanne said...

You know what? I must be seeing things! That white that I thought was a head must be leaves, cause it's not moving at all. But that WAS NOT there earlier! Maybe Lib or Belle dropped a small branch in the nest. Wierd.

movin said...

I see what you mean, Suz. I don't believe I saw it earlier either.

Think I'm heading back to bed. Have a great day, Suzanne.

Jim

Suzanne said...

You too, Jim. Hope you get to sleep for a few more hours!

BRB...

Jill said...

Good morning Suzanne and Jim. Heading back to bed after 1 arrest and Russell the mouse dog, throwing a fit because a mouse was in the trap. With this rain I might just sleep all day. LOL. Sorry we can't send a little of it to CA Jim but we need it too.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jill. Sounds like an exciting morning for you already! Hope you can get back to sleep, but rain will sure help with that!

Jill said...

As long as no other mice decide to join us for breakfast, it will be a quiet morning. LOL. Stupid dog thinks he's a cat. Which is good, I guess, just not a 3 in the morning.

Suzanne said...

Too funny! Guess it's that time of the year that the mice start looking to join the humans inside their warm dry houses!
I have 5 cats, but Pharaoh was my mouser, so if I get one in the house, I'll probably be the one to catch it and put it out. Or down the toilet....

Jill said...

I could send Russell up to help you. Course he would give the cats some excercise too. LOL

MITS said...

GOOD WEDNESDAY A.M., TO YOU ALL. Got up before 6:30, to make coffee and wait for eagles arrival, and I already missed them????? Suzanne, doesn't the mouse clog up your toilet???

MITS said...

Sqwigs is nursing....

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Jill! Not too sure how to train cats to catch mice!
Morning, Mits. No, mice fit quite nicely in the toilet, and down they go! Had one get in a couple years ago, Pharaoh caught it and left it right where I'd see it (how nice of him), and I picked it up by the tail with a paper towel, and down it went! Gotta tell ya though, I was wondering what I was gonna do if it DIDN'T go down, but thank God, it went!

No eagles haven't been here yet, but see that white on the right of the pic? That was not there when I first brought up the cam, and one refresh it was. So I thought an eagle had popped in and that was the white head, but it's never moved, so I'm guessing they knocked a branch with leaves down into the nest.

Suzanne said...

Bai is sitting up watching Squiggles play and move around between her legs, that is so cute!

Suzanne said...

So ok, now that I said that, Bai is now covering Squiggles! Little toot must have heard me!!

MITS said...

I see that....last night right around the time they would visit, screen went completely black, and some people could not even access the site....don't know what it was really.

MITS said...

Suzanne, can you get the Maine nest????

Suzanne said...

Oh, hope that doesn't happen this morning! Just the squiggly lines are ever present! Whatever it was, had a good pic when I brought it up around 4.

Suzanne said...

They're running late this morning! They showed up yesterday at 6:04, way early...so today they're gonna be way late.

Suzanne said...

Eagle in BW!

Suzanne said...

Eagle has glowing eyes and no top of head. Well, that's certainly different!

Suzanne said...

Mits, they have Tai on Cam 2 in some kind of room...what is that?

MITS said...

that's a side den, off of their main room, a quiet room

Suzanne said...

Look at the way he's sitting on cam 2, and the way the panda is sitting on cam 1. Man, they are EXACTLY alike!

Suzanne said...

Uh oh, has he been bad? Or maybe he doesn't feel good?

Suzanne said...

You have zoo today, don't you Mits? You'll have to cheer Tai up when you get there. Oh, he's on the move... Oh, guess he goes in there when he wants, huh? Cause he's out now.

MITS said...

Brenda gave Mei Xiang a bag of fruit...

MITS said...

Yes, Suzanne, zoo today

Suzanne said...

Mai sure seems to be enjoying it! Didn't see it delivered, was on the phone...darn work!
Looks like Tai is eating something too...
Eagle still in BW, our kids AWOL.

MITS said...

Mei stood up at the door and Brenda put it thru the tiny window.

Suzanne said...

awwwww. Sure would love to work the Asia Trail like you do, Mits! Unfortunately, have a habit that's really hard to break...called eating. So do my birds, and so do my cats. Darn critters, just want to eat every day, can't understand that!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SUZ, MITS & JILL AND HOPE JIM WENT BACK TO BED.

Suz, when I first turned on the puter, I,too, thought there was an eagle in our nest. When I refreshed and it didn't move, I realized it wasn't an eagle. I got up too late and missed the visit.

Suzanne said...

BBIALW, looks like the kids are gonna be no shows this morning!!

Costume Lady said...

I tried to post my photos on the Momsters Album, but when "Browse" comes up, my Puter takes me to the wrong place. Not where my photos are stored.

MITS said...

WANDA, I always have problems when I try to do something there, like an avatar....everyone says it is easy, but to this day can't do it, so not even going to attempt to put picture on, but I do love to go to the albums, Jo and Paula and everyone have done a great job.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Wanda! I have renamed mine this morning, but haven't tried to post any yet. Need to go through them, have too many.

Costume Lady said...

MITS...Been wondering how the new grandbaby is doing. Does Maggie love her or resent her?

Costume Lady said...

Capt. is up. Coffee time. BBL

Suzanne said...

Wanda, I'm putting one on there now. When you hit browse, it takes you to My Pictures. Use the folder with the arrow to move to your directory where the photos are stored. OR, use the arrow in the file name box to find your directory. I just added several, but they're not in the order I want, so will rearrange them later. And add more later.

glo said...

Good Morning everyone. I am up and getting ready to take my dogs over for coffee and dog treats. Back on schedule in IL , with more memories of my trip to NCTC than anyone could have imagined. It was awesome. Thanks to all of you who who have created both on and offline such a place to enjoy one of natures most beautiful living creatures, and a place to gather and meet those who also love eagles and These eagles Liberty and Belle in particular While I was there I also said hello to Big Boy, Ms In Between and Spunk. Saw what I decided to call a group of immature eagles soaring, and well imagination took off from there so I talked to them LOL.

Had fun for sure.

Suzanne said...

Wanda, just added my photos to the album. It was quicker than I thought! If you name the pic, you don't have to type any description or anything else. DUH, you guys probably already knew that! I just found that out...time saver for me! Pics are there, I'll put them in order by animals and raptors together, but not now, no time.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Glo! Glad to see you made it home safe and sound. Enjoyed meeting you! Maybe you can come this way again, either for the Christmas Party, or next year's Open House. Nice to visit, but sure is nice to get home again, isn't it? Bet doggies were happy you were home!!

Suzanne said...

Eagle back in BW, and Mits, check out the Smokeys, very cool pic!
Mai and Tian are eating bamboo, Tai is hiding through the trees. Bai and Squiggles are sleeping. Sure hope those fires don't make it to San Diego!

MITS said...

Wanda, thanks for asking, all is well, Maggie at 14 months really doesn't pay that much attention to her, I think, haven't seen them in almost 2 weeks, so not to sure how she is reacting.

MITS said...

Wow.....awesome pic, of Great Smokies, Suzanne.

Suzanne said...

Awww, Tai has a red ring he's playing with, too cute!

Suzanne said...

Woah, what's the deal, F&F is back in color! That's a first for this time of day! Guess Tai got bored with his red ring, gonna walk around for a while.

MITS said...

NEW THREAD IS UP

glo said...

Well Suzanne That pretty much was my trip to NCTC, unless I have some rich uncle who dies and leaves me a fortune for travel and enables me to retire. Otherwise for me I use my vactaion time and travel money mostly to see my kids. I did need to see that nest and meet many of you too though so yes I did make the trip. Perhaps someday when I retire if the finances stay at all capable to do some traveling I will come again. Do you suppose we will all still be a watching this cam and these eagles and their young....oh my what a thought that is LOL. We can go to Lib and Belles tree, stop by to see Big Boy and family, swing on over to Ms. In Between, and then just sit there and absorb all the happenings at Spunky's place. Fun thoughts.

OK got to unpack and do some laundry today for sure. A few groceries are also in order.
