GOOD MORNING, PAULA, STEVE, MITS...WHOEVER ELSE IS ABOUT TO LOG ON TO THE NEW THREAD. [:=))
JIM
Good Morning Mits, Paula & Jim! I was watching this huge awesome bird over at Pete's Pond. He even did a poop shoot for me! I think it's live & not on film. I still don't understand what the little gold square box means.
Thanks Steve for the new thread & the invite! Hope you have a good crowd attending the Film Festival.
hey, Good Morning, Jo...how are you feeling this a.m.....have written to them about the little gold box, but they never did respond, awhile back, I had read somewhere it meant it was a re-run, and sometimes when I go there it looks like I have seen it before....who knows????? Keeping a weather eye to the northeast watching what is left of Noel, Maine nest and Peggy's Cove might be interesting watching today
DON'T FORGET TO FALL BACK TONIGHT!!!!!
Don't know if those local to Martinsburg have read the news yet but we lost a State Trooper last night. Please pray for his family and colleagues. It is a devastating blow to the law enforcement community. He was responded to a call for help by other troppers and lost control of his vehicle.
(Leave it to me to put it on the wrong thread)
that is terrible news, Jill, so sorry to hear that...I think State Troopers are the best!!!!
Maine's nest is blowing in the wind!
Jill, I am sadden to hear of the tragic death of the Trooper. Prayers will be offered up for his family/friends.
That is a tragic report, Jill...
The yellow rectangle is just the National Geographic logo, I believe, Mema Jo.
Something like you would see on your cable TV screen.
Jim
You've got to hear this crazy bird sound from Pete's - sounds like a belated Halloween noise....
Link to Pete's Pond
I voted for "Ming Zhu--Bright treasure" last night.
Jim
Look where Dolly is spending the night.
Don't which bird makes the sound you're talking about, but that is and egret preening in the tree at the Pond, Mema Jo.
By the way I was looking up another egret in Wikipedia the other day, and I was surprised to learn that egrets are herons, which have acquired the other name somewhere...look up "heron" if you are interested.
Jim
My speling are atroshus this mournun.
Jim
I think your right about the logo on Nat'l Geo of Pete's Pond.
I voted last night for our SD Squiggles' official name. Glad Paula brought it over to the new thread. Jill, you answered my question about voting more then once!
Yes, Jim, know that is their LOGO, but when I started watching this about 2 years ago, the LOGO was only there when it was not live, so guess they have changed, hard to get any info from them, and don't have time to go to their blogs, which are really interesting:).
guess BW, had some problems with Noel during the night.
Morning everyone!! What a beautiful day here in PA!
Jill I will pray for the family of the state trooper and for his colleagues. So very sad.
We are off to visit our son Mike today. Talk to you all later.
((((((hugs)))))
Mei Sheng is on the cam at SD.
Yes, Jo, you can vote more than once!
So sorry to hear about the death of the state trooper. They put their lives at risk every day. I have the utmost respect for anyone who does that on a daily basis, whether it is military, fire, police, etc.
Need to take care of some morning things. BBL
been watching cams down the ocean at the inlet, skies look to be clearing but ocean still looks angry...
Thanks for the prayers everybody. He was a young guy with a wife and two small children. Not sure what part of the state he was originally from but know it isn't here so somewhere in WV there is a town morning the loss of a friend and family member. And all because somebody didn't want to stop for a police car. Trying to find out if they caught the person they were chasing.
Awesome sunset at Pete's Pond...
Good Morning all. Just stopped in to say Hi before I got to my chores. I had a hard time signing in it says I dont belong and I know I'm me.:)
As far as our baby's name is concerned I nominate Squiggles. I dont like their names.
OK I guess everyones busy. I'm going to work outside while the sun shines. Back later.
Thank you Steven for the New Thread.
Paula thank you for the easy way to go "vote for Squiggles" new name. I voted.
Prayers for the State Troopers family, friends and co-workers. :( sad
Iris your right it is a beautiful day ( : hugs
Eagle at Kent
The West Virginia State Trooper was from Jefferson County West Virginia. Happened in Kearneysville chasing a foot pursuit from a convenience store there. So Sad
DANA, did they catch the person he was going after???
Well, I have to agree with Anne-Marie on the Panda cub names...I don't particularly like what they selected as the final four.
I voted on the basis of the English meaning, but now that I think of it, we don't think of that when we use the name...we think more of the sound of the words.
Jim
well, we are lucky that the Chinese government even agrees to let us be a part in the naming of their pandas, Jim
REALLY WINDY in Maine now...
Voted for "Precious" myself....
Cause she is so "precious"
Just checked radar - rain from offshore of Maryland to Maine...
that was my vote also, had a hard time thinking of her as a "little beauty" when she gets 250 lbs.plus
JO---Are you on here? Need some information on a new Momster...
PAULA--I voted for Precious also. Just simply because she is percious!
I am lurking - mainly in my emails
Sent you an email Wanda....
Hello Dolly
Where are you Dolly
I have dinner planned for 6:30 this evening........ Did you hear that L&B?
I wonder how the wedding went for Nilla? Don't know exactly what day
it was - today or yesterday.
WINDS 25 to 35 mph coming out of the North with gusts to 70 mph up in Maine. Surprising that winds are not coming out of the NE, with this storm, read where Nova Scotia is expecting 110 mph winds tonight. Have not been able to get Peggy's Cove cam up this afternoon
They did get the person they were chasing. News keeps saying it was a man, it wasn't unless there was a man with her. It was a female. Not sure what happened but I know she had to go to the hospital last night. We had warrants on her and had to wait to see if we needed to arraign her but when they took her to the hospital we left. Now it shows her as having warrants from Berkeley, Jefferson and Martinsburg so I guess she is in a boat load of trouble.
Nillas son got married last evening. She has Jasmin all weekend. Sure she is showing her off somewhere. LOL Or buying her a new wardrobe.
thanks, Jill, have been wondering, don't you just love how the news people get things messed up
should be coming in for a landing soon
the nest seems a little clearer now that the leaves are falling.
I left the room and everything.....
Eagle in the nest
EAGLE ALERT
OUR NEST
There we are!!
EAGLE IN THE NEST
Nice clear pic tonight
Looks like Lib
Left, maybe to go find Belle.
QUICK VISIT
OK that wads a very very short visit :(
I say a short visit is better than no visit!!
Well I would really like to see them together just for a minute or so..
Looks as though Blackwater's cam is back up
I still have not sighted Dolly
I can't get the Maine cam up - Wind & storm is really bad up there....
Dinner time here - CU later
THANK YOU LIB & BELLE
I REALLY DIDN"T GO AWAY!!!
Its dark there now anyhow, Jo, their video part went off before it got dark, but the audio was still on....all the Nova Scotia cams I was watching earlier in the day went off as the storm hit.
GOOD JOB....JO!!!
That was special
Yes Mits the news seems to mess up a lot. There is a question now whether the officer had 2 children or 3. Everybody I talked to said they just had a baby recently. I dont' know if they are thinking of the 2 y/o or in the midst of all the mayhem, the info officer just didnt' remember the new born. We will know more on Monday.
Ahhhhh, something much sweeter than an short eagle visit......A NAVY WIN OVER NOTRE DAME:):):):).....GO NAVY BEAT ARMY!!!!!
CU later...heading out for the evening...so did they both show up??
Yes, party girl they did:):):)!
Unless someone comes in on a Sunday a.m.,like they did yesterday, (our today), guess we won't see Hope/Dolly til their Monday.....I really like the name of Hope that their regulars have giving the eyass. Sums up her short life so far to a tee! JMHO.
Link to this evening's visit
BBL Going to relax a little
Dolly is on the ledge.....
Evening all
"Precious" is the name I voted for also for Squiggles. Kept trying to see her as an adult panda with other names.
State paper I read earlier when googled said trooper had 2 young daughters. So we will have to wait and see like Jill said till Monday.
wasn't that nice of the people in Brisbane to come in on a Sunday a.m. for you, Jo??
I am assuming it is Dolly - she is so large - What do you think?
Dana - the link to this evening's visit is up a few remarks... OR were you watching? They were beautiful!
Hi everybody . I'm through for the night. I'm tired and I still didnt get everything done.
Jo I think its Dolly too. Look at the white fuzz around her feet.
I am 10 min too late - Dolly isn't there now.
If anyone would like the recipe for Peanut Soup I got it from a chef in Williamsburg. Just let me know.
Jo , one sec she was there and gone the next.
I'm going to fix myself something to eat. I'm running out of oompa. I dont think I ate lunch. BBL
I don't think that I will take you up on peanut soup - Just tell me what kind of consistentency it is.. Creamy or chunky?
TTUL Enjoy whatever you find to eat
Anne, I have a Williamsburg cookbook from ages ago with the recipe in it.
I bet you found that cookbook when you were cleaning out the kitchen cupboards lol
Jo, if you Google peanut soup, you can have it anyway you want it:). I used to collect recipe books, but it is so much easier to go to goggle or ask.com for recipes, that I am now getting rid of a lot of my books, part of my de-cluttering, but still keep the books that are meaningful to me
well, that particular book is probably on the cookbook bookshelf down the basement......haven't gotten to the basement de-cluttering yet. Might have to wait til hubby's retirement so he can help. There is a high school in the area that has a gigantic book sale one-a-year, and you can drop off books all year to them.
I have never heard of peanut soup until now. How does it taste?
Dolly is spending a lot more time on the wall, and it looks like almost all of the fuzz is gone. If you go by last years eyasses, she should be very near fledging.
Jim
taste like peanuts....:)
I guess Dolly is taking her Panda Nap!
I agree, Jim, that Dolly is soon to be gone from the ledge. Hopefully we'll know she left but see her return. I hope Greg is going to be alerting us to it all happening. Lots of new picture galleries updated.
Jo the peanut soup was creamy with chopped nuts in it but I guess you could have it anyway you wanted it. Its rich and a small bowl before dinner is enough for me. Boy its good.
Ive been looking at our Ausi babe and Jim's right. Most of her baby fuzz is gone.
GOOD NIGHT ALL.
Mits arent you wax?
ANNE-MARIE..She certainly is!
SHOP IS CLOSED!!!
Hi Wanda I have been wanting to talk to you
Going to take a LOOOONG panda nap.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP WELL
I bet your tired. What a hassle. I was reading an article about how Halloween has changed over the years and is now more for adults than it is for children.
Whoops...Anne, I am still here.
Good Night. I'll talk to you later.
OK what I wanted to tell you was about the trip on the train.
This is so true, Anne. 8 out of 10 costumes I sell are for adults.
I wore my necklace and got bombarded with requests about where I got it. the lady who was on the train wanted to buy it. Another lady in the shop wanted to sell them. You could make some money if your interested.
Tell me about your trip on the train.
Do you buy your costumes or do people make them for you?
Howdy Folks... Thought i check in now that i have Jasmin tucked in bed sleeping like an angel with baby monitor on in case she wakes up i hear her... Well the wedding went fine,, of course Jasmin stole the show..lol at least in her pappy and my eyes.. thats until she spit up on him and he handed her back to me..lol The newly weds are still tucked away on a short honeymoon and will be coming to get Jasmin in the morning to go to Pa to see her pappy.. as i am working... Then i will have her in the evening so Jenny can pick her up when she gets off work... I will put pictures of wedding on my web page on my space and make a short album on Momsters... Remember to fall back tonight... Sad about the trooper Jill.. prayer for his family and loved ones... Now what was going on down on Rt 9.. 2 nights ago at the light before the jail??(by Roc's) Daughter was heading home and they had atleast 6 sheriff cars blocking the road so you could not go thru the light towards the jail... We thought maybe someone broke out or the count wasnt right? Yes Jill i did shop for Jassy to bought her a beautiful lavandar snow suit... It makes it hard when she is at several places and her things get sent here and there.. BUt of course i think i take care of her better than anyone... smiles..well news is coming on so will say good night sweet eagle dreams to all.. Niters, Nilla
I could set up a tent at the train station and sell them.LOL
I think Norma's daughter was going to give her necklace to the worker on the train.
Night Nilla
I buy my costumes from 3 different companies.
That is Dolly on the ledge with the fuzzy white.
Heading to bed nite all
Wanda, besides the lady on the train who was a pain in the neck, The lady who ran the gift shop was the one I was talking about. She has several people who she has consignments with. Just an idea. I have gotten so many comments about mine.
Night Dana
Good night, Nilla. Thanks for the reminder to set the clocks back. I forgot already.
Door Bell is ringing. BBL
Nite Dana.
Thanks for the suggestion, Anne. I will certainly give it some thought.
GOOD NIGHT AGAIN...
Good night everyone
Peace to You and Yours
Nilla, I dont know what was going on on Rt 9. Nobody broke out of jail that I know about. OH wait a minute. There was a bad wreck at 84 lumber one night late in the week maybe that was it.
You have a myspace page? Can I be your friend? LOL. Send me the link. I am starting to get the hang of it now. Took forever but my cousin wouldnt' leave me alone til I did. But I dont' have many friends and it is pathetic.
And I know what is like to have childrens clothes scattered. Joey used to have a wardrobe here, one at Pop's house and one at his dad's. And his favorites were always where he wasn't LOL. Goodnight every one. It has beena long day.
Mema Jo, I hear that spooky sounding bird calling at Pete's Pond. AND there's another one that sounds something like a glass bell.
Jim
Good evening everyone,
Been so busy but wanted to stop in and say HELLO, I miss you all.
As most of you know I have my 3 nephews the past week and we have been keeping so busy I barely have enough time to breath. Soon it will all be back to normal but in the meantime we have all been having a blast.
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY. REST WELL.
TALK TO YOU ALL ON SUNDAY MORN.
JIM
THE EAGLE HAS LANDED. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.
BOTH ARE HERE NOW.
BOTH ARE STILL IN NEST--JUST LOOKING AROUND.
LIB JUST FLEW AWAY AND BELLE LOOKS AS IF SHE IS GOING TO JOIN HIM.
BELLE IS GONE TOO. NICE VISIT!
JO....sent you photos of this visit.
GOOD SUNDAY A.M. EVERYONE
Good Sunday Morning, everyone!
Hope everyone enjoyed their extra hour of sleep. Wanda, I don't know how you managed to get up to see L&B this morning...I was still dreaming, LOL.
Peanut soup...well...you either like it or you don't. Glad you had some in Williamsburg, Anne. How did your granddaughter enjoy the trip? BTW, she was lovely!
Where is Megan?
Can't get Maine cam up...
Tesoro is still having issues, right date, wrong time, not updating at present

Going to send a note to Pres of ND.....try to teach your players how to sing your Alma Mater, guess they are not used to doing that like the service academies are.

Eagle at West End nest.
http://www.iws.org/bald_eagles/westendcam.html
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!
Happy return to Standard Time... got everything reset except a couple of battery driven wall clocks. How about you??
It's early evening at Pete's Pond and the site is "totally bats!"
Jim
Good Morning everyone from California. Welcome to our Butterfly. You parents are great. Like Paula said there is plenty of room in the nest. I liked that!
No Jim I havent touched the clocks . My family is suppose to be here and they are late. Oh well.
Pete's was all bats and tree frogs, but now elephants with a lot of very young have come.
Jim
Reset one vcr and the tv...
Morning Jim and Anne!
Morning Paula, I cant get going this morning. There are a family of squirrels in the grapes this morning. Two teen babes. The are so cute. They are more interested in playing than eating. Wish I could get some pictures but they are too afraid of me.
Just turned on Redskin game and dontcha know it Jets was running in for a touchdown!!!!They only been playing 5 minutes... Norma last night i was at Ryans and 2 bus loads of football players pulled up they all were wearing sweat shirt n jackets with WVU football on them... MANNN they cleared the food out big time..lolll
It's like 88 deg at 8 pm at Pete's and all the elephants in So Africa seem thirsty tonight. Another large family just arrived.
Has anyone seen Dolly?? Can't see her on the lit parts of the ledge.
Jim
Family's here. Later.
NORMA, when I was goggling peanut soup recipes yesterday the Wayside INN came up.....
BTW, NORMA, I get you drift and know exactly what you are talking about, and for that reason I am against them, used to have many priest say, and "don't forget to pray for a ND victory", and I thought that was a huge waste of valuable prayer.
I just checked the cam and there is an eagle! Yeah my first sighting!
EAGLE ALERT IN NEST ...
SNAPPIN PICTURES... HI BUTTER
I think thats Lib looking for Belle.. doesnt look very braod across back shoulders
My first day on with the group and look who came to welcome me. Hmm - which one is it?
has not changed places or moved at all other than turnng head... Come on Belle i think he wants some help with nestorations and knows it gets dark earlier tonight...
MITS???? Where are you????
Butter i thought it is Lib but i dont know now wish it move around alittle.. But busy looking for the other eagle...
I am taking some pictures but with no movement only head turns not real excitng..lol
Well - it's beautiful who ever it is!
I keep refreasing to see if help arrives but nothing yet
hello....was in the other room, had my sound turn off, so didn't know there were any visitors..
I can' get over how long it has been sitting in the same spot - just looking. This is awesome. Sorry if I'm too excited - but I am.
just a guess, from that angle looks like Lib.
^5 on that but wait til you see them for real the 1st time or any time .. they just make you breathless with there beauty.... Skin's are getting slaughtered again by Jets... Eagle has not moved... Just looking around
Yup just looking around now for about i would say what 10 minutes Butter ? I snapped my first picture at 2:06 so been awhile
Thats what i thought Mits it is Lib also
Since around 2:10 for me. About how long does it usually take for the other one to come home?
He certainly is waiting patiently for her... I stopped snappin pictures they are all the same..lol
Wow this is great. My first sighting this fall. I come 5000 miles and they dont even show up.
She maybe setting off calling to him or she doesnt look like she is in any hurry to come in the nest... I have not seen him call to her any.. Wish we had that sound!!!!
Thats a man for you. Waiting for her . Why doesnt he start on his own? LOL
I saved one for myself as my "First Sight". Too new to figure out how to send yet. Might try to save it as my id photo. Hmm might be too small
Hey Ladies,
Is is really rare to see them? Am I lucky to see them on my first day or do they appear often?
Butter as the season gears up very soon, you will see nestorations, mating, and egg laying and hatching. you just might be our good luck charm:)
all gone..
did see the beak opening before he took off.
Hi Anne.... Isnt this something him staying so long.. But i dont know he kind of looks like he is getting a look of grumpyness onhis face..l OFF HE WENT AT 2:27
Go figure i dont have aman but can figure out the looks on an eagles face just seconds before he takes off.....ROFLMBOOOOO
