wvgal_dana said...

Morning Paula

Greatest Birthday cake and VIDEO I've ever seen. The STAR of the show really loves blowing out that candle. Watched several times. Thank you for sharing your family. He is quite the character.

wvgal_dana said...

Maine is calm and beautiful blue water.

Our eagles are out helping ceremonies for Veterans Day.

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MONDAY MORNING TO KARLA, WANDA, CAPT. EAGL GENE, MITS, DANA AND MEGAN! We have a beautiful sunny day here today; don't know how warm it is out yet tho. Just dragged myself out of bed and got dressed. I am sitting here with my cup of coffee. Sorry I slept through Liberty/Belle's visit. It seemed as if it was short.

wvgal_dana said...

Oh yes eagle calling at Maine can't see but that was perfect morning enjoyment. ( :

Costume Lady said...

MITS--Did you send photos to Jo?

normabyrd said...

TWO EAGLES----BW!!---Notice how they perch on the side with chest out---Don't know if we should salute or pin a medal on them!!---ho!----

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Candy and hi again Wanda.

Tai is on the ground now eating bamboo.

carolinabeachmom said...

CONGRATULATIONS DANA ON BEING NUMBER ONE ON TODAY'S BLOG! AND thanks for the heads up.

GOOD MORNING NORMA! How are you this fine morning? Just got on myself and saw where BOB was heading back to his GOLDEN EAGLE. He must really be excited.

carolinabeachmom said...

NORMA I only have one bird at BW, but was wondering if we were getting a pair yesterday. This one is sitting where Lonesome Louis usually sits. He was there early yesterday, but then later an eagle came and sat on the other side of the osprey nest. Wondered if we were going to have a relationship picking up. :)

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' CANDY & WANDA!!---You folks got to see the ROYAL COUPLE!!
I missed them!!----But watched the "LITTLE PRINCE" sleeping with a little black leg up in the air!!---He's a real TRIP!!!---

wvgal_dana said...

I sure hope that immature golden eagle is there. Just putting on a show for Bob to get lots of pictures. Boy you could feel the excitement for him getting the pictues he did and finding out what he actually had photographed.

carolinabeachmom said...

Yes NORMA it must have been really excoting for him. I sure he sees more and gets some good pics. His pics are sooooo beautiful and lifelike. He seems to capture nature just as it is. Wish I could do that.

normabyrd said...

CANDY---I was seeing "2" EAGLES!!!----When you called---I refreshed--POP!---Only "1" EAGLE now!!---(now look what you did--made me scare one away)---KIDDIN'----Watched most of your TAR HEEL'S GAME---The other NC team seemed to be a "wee bit" cocky!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Upclose of Tai eating he has a handsome face.

carolinabeachmom said...

Nor NORMA, I missed the ROYAL COUPLE today as I slept in this morning. I guess they didn't stay very long.

HEY MITS Did you have a goot time at the Ravens game, even though they lost. I would love to be able to see a pro football game; just to be in the stands with all the excitement.

wvgal_dana said...

Tai is now laying on his back lol eating his bamboo

paula eagleholic said...

Candy - sorry you missed L&B, but glad you got to sleep in. You must have needed it :)

normabyrd said...

DANA & CANDY!!---BOB takes wonderful pictures---I bought one pic at OPEN HOUSE & ordered 2 more!!!----a beautiful pic of an EAGLE---SUZANNE bought the one he had then & I ordered one!!!---HE CONTRIBUTED THE MONEY TO THE MOMSTERS----Then missed our dinner!!!---Next time--w/send him a map--ho!---(HELEN & JO--someone else gets lost too)---ho!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SLEEPYHEAD CANDY.
We missed you this morning, but glad you were able to sleep in.
Visit didn't last very long. I only got 4 photos. I could have gotten a few more, but Belle didn't move very much and all scenes were pretty much the same. Didn't want to give Jo a HEART ATTACK!lol

wvgal_dana said...

gals it's time for me to get breakfast

normabyrd said...

CANDY----What your temp?---We had heavy rain last night---(woke me up)----but we are predicted to have warmer sunny weather later today!!!----(still waiting)!!---GOING TO CHECK to see if ATLANTA ZOO'S cam is on today!!!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING NORMA--
BOB needent feel bad about not finding the restaurant....I couldn't remember where I parked my car and Jo had to drive me around for an eternity until I finally found it. I have BLONDE roots.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at BW really preening. Hope Bob gets a chance for some good shots today...maybe it will clear up a little for him.

carolinabeachmom said...

WANDA Do you have a car that you open with buttons on the key chain. You could have pushed the emergency button and sounded your horn and found it that way.

carolinabeachmom said...

SORRY I MISSED YOU PAULA. GOOD MORNING TO YOU.

My friend from Richmond just came to go out shopping so, you all keep your eyes to the skies and talk a bunch, so I don't miss anything,
BBL

normabyrd said...

ATLANTA CAM is on-!!--LUN LUN & MEI are in another lawn---We are looking at them from inside to an outside lawn---The "LITTLE ONE" is attempting to bite LUN LUN on the rear so she will play with her!!---OH---We should have named her "SPUNKY"!!!!

normabyrd said...

WANDA!!---Remember--my daughter & I were in JO'S car with you!! !!---I HONESTLY try to remember where to go or where I have parked, etc.---Since I was a kid--I have had no sense of direction!!!!----When you got out---LISA looked over at me & grinned---"MOM--You two must have gone to the same school"!!!---NOT FUNNY!!---I have learned to laugh & ignore it!!!---ho!!

normabyrd said...

AN EAGLE---CAPE CORAL!!

paula eagleholic said...

Steve - Thanks for the new thread, and enjoy your day off!

MITS said...

WANDA no didn't send any pics to Jo....and yes, CANDY it is fun going to the live games, more fun if it is a win, but still fun none-the-less:)

Costume Lady said...

Oh, NORMA, of course you were in the back seat. I knew that. SEE, I told you I have blonde roots!

Costume Lady said...

OK Mits, I will send my photos to JO.

paula eagleholic said...

paula eagleholic said...

floralgirl said...

Howdy everyone:) Christmas in Shpherdstown is fun, such a great town. Heading back ouside to cut greens...fa.. la..la..la..la

MITS said...

Hello, Paula, great birthday video, and cake....how is your d-i-l feeling?

Mema Jo said...

Good Late Morning - Once again my morning was delayed due to a power outage in the valley!!!! It's no fun not having a reason to get up & out of bed - No coffee pot to turn on & No pc to tune into my friends and look at the cams! Glad I still get a newspaper! I could survive, but I wonder what this younger generation has to fall back on when the power cuts off!... What is it that Steve said - No child left indoors!

Mema Jo said...

Cape Coral eagle is at nest... looks so large!

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks Mits. DIL has been feeling pretty good til recently, now starting to feel pregnant! Says the kid is laying sideways all the time and doesn't stop moving!

MITS said...

priest was talking about Veterans'day yesterday, and I have never been a big history buff, but he quoted the reason for its observance..."the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, 1918, hubby said, and I have since gone to the site, that is when WW1 ended, the war to end all wars...little before my time.

Mema Jo said...

Lunch time BBL

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY IN EAGLE LAND...

Better get a comment in before I get sidetracked again and miss the whole day.

God bless the patriots and military personnel, who have fought for, sacrificed for and won this great system of human freedom and justice we live under in the U.S. of A.

JIm

MITS said...

Mei and Tian are playing with the biscuit wand.

MITS said...

rare shot of the beautiful fishing cat, Electra on the NZ cam, Issac the male who walks around a lot will be sent to another part of the zoo for retirement, he is 10 yrs old, and they think being next to a female, who he will not be mating with stresses him, and plus the fact he has some arthritis, so this move will be a good one for him.:)

MITS said...

eagle at CC.

MITS said...

honey crates for the adult pandas at zoo

MITS said...

now Tai has his own honey-crate.

Mema Jo said...

Hi THere! I saw on 2A the sloth bear and also saw the clouded leopard, 1 panda napping and 1 panda roaming...

Mema Jo said...

I'm watching it rain/snow on the OR eagle cam at the MT nest.
CC is also MT right now.

Both eagles at BW platform

bobbi said...

Hi JO and MITS and anyone else I might have missed. Missed talking to you all. Robyn just called me and told me she had to put her border collier sammy down today. Needless, to say she isn't feeling great and neither is tori. Tori grew up with sammy. Sammy was a great dog very protective. Know she would appreciate hearing from you. Maybe pick her spirits up. She had me crying on this end along with her and tori. Think she needs to hear from some friends right now.

MITS said...

Oh, no, Bobbi, that's sad, been there done that....thoughts and prayers with them

Mema Jo said...

I'll try to get in touch with her.

Bobbi - check your emails.

bobbi said...

Thanks mits. I think we have all been through it. Sadly, sammi got out last night from the yard and was found today by the side of the road. Someone must have hit her while she was crossing street. Some good samaritan found her and brought her into the animal shelter.

bobbi said...

Thanks Jo, appreciate it.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

EAGLE ALERT, OUR NEST!

MITS said...

that is really sad, Bobbi.....ROBYN AND TORI you have mail when you get a chance......thanks, eagle-eyed, Sharon

MITS said...

looks like Lib

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

You are welcome, Mits!

paula eagleholic said...

EAGLE ALERT

paula eagleholic said...

Moving a monster stick!

bobbi said...

gosh, those are some big sticks. Takes up the whole nest. Has anybody been able to get into the tesoro site. Having problem, can't open it

bobbi said...

paula eagleholic said...

Mema Jo said...

MITS said...

I have not seen them recently, Bobbi

MITS said...

Mema Jo said...

Looks as though something is going to drop on his head........

paula eagleholic said...

Lib is still just standing smack dab in the middle of the nest, looking off towards the rear.

MITS said...

pop-up would be nice:)

bobbi said...

Does Liberty and belle stay in the area or do they leave and come back?

paula eagleholic said...

And (poof), he's gone!

Mema Jo said...

This is just about the same time they were here yesterday....... Remember when they had their eaglets - they would feed them around the 4:00 hr.

Candy is over sending emails -- emailed her to get over here.......

paula eagleholic said...

They do not migrate, Bobbi. They stick around all year.

Mema Jo said...

Now I am in big trouble with Candy

Mema Jo said...

paula eagleholic said...

paula eagleholic said...

Mema Jo said...

MOVE THAT STICK!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Do you all see the end of the stick just below the camera?

paula eagleholic said...

Jo - you would have got the wax if you hadn't spent all that time prettying up your message

OMG look at Lib move that stick - gonna hit the cam.

Mema Jo said...

Your da Bird, Lib!

paula eagleholic said...

Amazing how much stick they can move with just their beak!

Mema Jo said...

Sharon - That stick was big!!! That was so cool.......

Didn't really need the wax -- I shouldn't have sent Candy that email.

paula eagleholic said...

Here he comes, gonna try for the cam again?!?

paula eagleholic said...

Uh Oh, little sticky there...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Cam looks stuck to me.

paula eagleholic said...

I'm stuck at 4.58.04

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Better now.

paula eagleholic said...

AHA - unstuck! Eagle still in the nest

MITS said...

this always cracks me up, that all of these eagles, you don't see them all day, then poof, they are here working on the nest. lots of poofing today:):)

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle gone - I'm putting the wing picture and the stick picture in the album...

Mema Jo said...

Me too.. Just in case they are a second different! Any Sharon has a wing one when he first came in that is really cool......

paula eagleholic said...

Just caught a poop shoot at BW!!

MITS said...

:) congrats, Paula.:):)

Mema Jo said...

Hey Mits It's called an
Eagle Mania moment!

Mema Jo said...

Cape Coral eagle in nest..
Have not seen Star and/or Spirit for some time now.

MITS said...

the other eagle just flew into CC nest.

MITS said...

CC eagles are doing nestorations.

Mema Jo said...

BBL

Costume Lady said...

Jo, did you not get the 4 photos that I sent you this morning? If you don't have any of the morning visit, I will re-send.

Mema Jo said...

Wanda - the 4 you sent I already placed in the album. I was trying to get you to read the directions for placing photos into the Momster's albums so you could learn how easy it is for you to do. Let me know after you read them - print them out - Paula has made them very user friendly in writing them up.

carolinabeachmom said...

Thanks JO for the Power Point presentation of our eagle visit. I had look at all the cams and everyone seemed to be doing other things when I got home so I went in for one of your Panda naps. I left everything on, but withoug a bell or siren, I wouldn't know that birds were in the nest.:) But thanks to the Power Point presentation of everyone's pics, I got to see our famous couple.
Thanks again.

carolinabeachmom said...

My sister called on her nightly call and I was talking to her for quite awhile. That is never a five minute deal and is every night.

Hey NORMA just was watching a DUKE basketball game. Of course they were way out ahead of their opponent. That is the only team that I like to beat every year, if we can.

carolinabeachmom said...

Well, nothing is appearing on any site, so guess I'll call it a night. It has been fun being on here for two full days. Oh how I wish I could be on all the time for all the excitement and watchings.

You all have a peaceful night and a good tomorrow. Tomorrow brings a new day and new things.

Mema Jo said...

Calling it a day -

Good Night Everyone
Peace To You & Yours
Prayers being said for everyone's needs


Suzanne has dental today - We won't see her until Wednesday. Carry on Early Birds

MITS said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP WELL

movin said...

Wow, you should see the Yellow-Billed Stork and the Great Blue Heron fishing almost side-by-side in one of the little lagoons at Pete's Pond.

I know most everyone has signed off already... Hope you all had a good Veterans Day.

I think I thanked everyone who sent an eCard, but in case I missed one, I really appreciate the positive attitudes you all expressed toward America's fighting men of yesterday and today.

Jim

movin said...

Like last night (early morn at Pete's), the stork and a small egret were taking a break on the bank, and "Fatty" the croc. slipped out of the water and onto the bank right at the birds. But they saw him, and he's acting like he's just looking for sun to stretch out in.

His gut looks a little flat and empty this time, so he probably would settle for a good sized bird.

Jim

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, ALL/GOOD TUESDAY MORNING TO YOU...

JIM

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD TUESDAY MORNING TO EVERYONE THAT WILL BE WATCHING OUT THERE IN EAGLE LAND! I got up early as I was awake, got dressed and came in to talk to SUZANNE and she is among the missing again today so far.

carolinabeachmom said...

Bot BW and our nest are MT and Squiggs is sleeping alone in SD. She is such a cutie, She must be having a dream as she move from time to time while she is sleeping. Now I am off to Pete's Pond for a second.

carolinabeachmom said...

NORMA Carolina plays basketball tonight at 7pm on ESPN. At least that is what it said last night as I was watching DUKE totally win, as usual.

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Candy, those coming in and watchers.

You aren't alone. Woke up; maybe I'll panda nap after while.

Suzanne will be back in tomorrow AM.

carolinabeachmom said...

Bai is finally back and just and is bent over Squiggles, being very attentive.

Nests are still MT at BW and Shepherdstown. :( I guess I am jumping the gun a little.

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MORNING TO YOU DANA. Welcome in this morning. Didn't think I would make up this early, but I was just laying there, soooo. Glad to hear that SUZANNE isn't coming in until tomorrow. I think I remember something about her having two destist appointments.

carolinabeachmom said...

Hey DANA, watch out for that Panda Napping. I did it yesterday and missed the eagle visit. :(

Bai is still bent over Squiggles. Maybe she is letting her lay under her for a midnight snack feeding.

I'm wondering when Squiggles will get her new name. Excitement is in the air!

carolinabeachmom said...

I have a delicious looking turkey coming up as a screensaver. Yummmm! Now if only my turkeys would look like that. Hahahahahaha

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING DANA & CANDY
Suz is having some dental work done today. She will be back tomorrow.

Costume Lady said...

Candy, do you ever do your turkey in a cooking bag?

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MORNING WANDA!Glad you finaly mae it on. No I haven't ever tried the bag, but my sister swears by it. James likes to do it the old fashion way, except we don't sue the old grinder anymore :) She says it is much easier to clean up after and leaves the turkey so moist.

carolinabeachmom said...

I guess we aren't going to see an early visit this moring. I think that I am watching the back of JIM's stork in Pete's Pond. It is just sititng on the ground with it's back to the camera.

carolinabeachmom said...

Bai looks as if she is trying to stand on her head. She has been like that since she came back in to her den. Maybe she doesn't want to crush Squiggles or is that Squigs beside her now?

Costume Lady said...

I swear by it also, Candy. I always use a bag. It cuts the cooking time quite a bit too.
I did a turkey last week and didn't have a bag large enough, so I cooked it the old fashioned way, It wasn't nearly as moist and it took forever to get done.

carolinabeachmom said...

Well WANDA, Dana went back for a Panda nap and I am going to have to get off and head to school. I hope you get to see our Liberty and Belle sometime this morning. Both nests are still MT:( YOU ALL HAVE A NICE WATCHING DAY! BBL

Costume Lady said...

It is another ugly morning here. Raining hard and cold. Our eagles are probably huddled together somewhere keeping dry.

carolinabeachmom said...

Well maybe one year I can convince James to try it that way. He is a bit stubborn at times. Tradition.

Costume Lady said...

Bye Candy, have a good day. Talk to you later.

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh ok, raining up there. It has a high of 88 here but now is 55 with possible showers in the PM. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny with a high in the low 70's. It looks like the sun or maybe it is the light making shadows of the nest at BW.

carolinabeachmom said...

Thanks WANDA. Eyes to the skies to catch our eagles. TTUL

wvgal_dana said...

Sorry Candy and Wanda I wasn't panda napping not yet. I have been over in the loveforeaglesforum. I have replay a dozen time this one video with music that is simply beautiful and peaceful. About birds in Singapore and then fish all around you. Awesome....

You all must go there!!! ( :

Costume Lady said...

DANA...I checked that video earlier this morning on BW site.
Is that the one you mean?

Costume Lady said...

GLO has a beautiful video of her Shepherdstown trip with Country Roads music.

Costume Lady said...

Haven't had my coffee yet. BBILW

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Wanda that is it.

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Glo does say on there that the site came recommended by Lisa at Blackwater I hadn't paid any attention to that. Glad Glo added it in the forum. I have been missed it at BW since I make it smaller to fit in more cams.

wvgal_dana said...
