Sunday Thread and no comments!
Hello to all when you get here.
Enjoyed some nest activity this afternoon.
Vicky & Jim Thanks for the heads up. I was over in my emails. Thanks for the picture Vicky - I just love to see them together.
JIM What did you do with Dolly?
I can't see her down under her garden greens. Last night-the photo you took-did she take off or just stretch her wings?
Reminder:
Lisa updated the BW photo gallery
Brisbane has about 3-4 new videos and lots more picture galleries.
Just returned from Pizza/Cake B-day party for 23yr old grandson.. His 2 yr old daughter called her daddy an old man! Oh my what some of these youngins' just don't know yet. Of course she heard it being said by the older generation....
I'll return early evening..... CU
Ut Oh over time coin toss for the Redskins & Jets... Tied at 20-20 Them boys might pull thsi one off if they dont $%!$#%#!$^%!@ up once again!!!
I made some French toast to sweeten my disposition and to finish off the batter from yesterday...and my browser crashed again.
Now Squiggles is back on cam in SD.
And I too haven't seen Dolly today ... but I did see her lying on the wall considerably after dark last night. Don't know if she flew the jernt this morning, or if she's at the other end of the ledge.
Jim
Ok Jo enjoy your evening and Howdy Vicky and Jim...Hows things in your part of thsi world you 2? Oh my had to call and check on Jasmindoodlebug.. she setting in her bouncy seat watching tv.. Her daddy will bring her in later tonight so i can bath her and feed her cereal she is use to schedule of doing that between 8-9 pm...
eagle BW.
Jim did you see that video from today of Dolly Plucking Fluff and on the ledge?? she is eager to get rid of her baby fluff and fly!!!
A comment by bird girl is on the Aussie site.
I wonder if Frieda is still feeding Dolly, because last evening Dolly kept looking overhead and her crop did not look very full.
They might be starving her off the ledge already, and indeed she might have fledged.
Jim
42 yard field goal atemp by Redskins... Jets took time out holding breathhhhhhhhh.... Ooooooo here it goesssssss yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss REDSKINS WON IN OVER TIME!!!!!!!
There are new pics at the bottom edge of the Dolly site, and one looks like about the same as I sent you last night.
Jim
Is that water I see beneath the BW platform again. Must have gotten quite a bit of rain the other day if it is.
Jim
BEAUTIFUL EAGLE AT BW.
Hi Jim...
Nilla---How bout them Redskins?!!
I must shut down and take care of business for a while.
Talk to you all later.
Jim
JIM--I don't know about the water at BW, but I do know that they got a lot of rain, as did we here in Shepherdstown/Martinsburg about a week ago.
Howdy Wanda... Tell pappy Gene sisnt make it down.. Bu ti tell you having Jasmin all weekend has wore me out... Just the carring her car seat is enough not to mention all the baby things i carry along... Daughter invited me for dinner crab cakes and fried tators n onions i hope(she does like them) Yesss Wanda how about those Redskins... Our eagles should be coming earlier tonight since it gets dark earlier i have nest up watching.... Glad your daughter has joined us the more the merrier.. make sure she comes at Christmas to party too!!
Jim, there was a hurricane that past off the coast of DEL-MA-VA, yesterday, but doesn't look like they got any rain from it....yesterday almanac for the area said trace.
Butterfly - so glad you got to see the eagles today! How Lucky!
Nilla - thanks for that Skins description! Missed it while I was out mowing.
Anne - glad you got to see them too!
Gotta go shower and then out to dinner :)
See you later!
PAULA--Is this a repeat of last night? Getting to be a habit.LOL
Nilla...My daughter moved into a mountainous area close to Front Royal (Linden, Va.) a few years ago and has a lot of birds around her house. She has put up feeders and planted flowers and attracted a lot of different birds and a love for them. So, of course, the next step in the love of birds, comes the love for EAGLES. So she has joined us and is about to join our journey of love for wildlife and each other. She is a wonderful youg woman and is my BABY (I have an older daughter).
Wanda - let's say last night I cooked and tonight he is taking me out :)
Going to make an earlier night of it tonight :)
I guess our evening visit today was a couple of hours early!
Cam has changed in OZ - hopefully coz DollyHope is still there!
PAULA--Sounds like a FAIR exchange to me. Have fun.
Well, they just went from the water view to the other end of the ledge, and I didn't see HOPE/Dolly
MITS--I have been checking off and on this evening and have not seen Dolly. I think she flew the coop.
So have I, Wanda.....think Jim might have one of the last pics of her.....
I don't see her either! :(
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
Neither can I!
I kept hoping she was down under her garden greens hiding from the sun.
I have been looking off and on all day long & have not sighted her once.
If she flew the coop - she should come back to the ledge once or twice as Mom and/or Dad are still feeding her.
Maybe we will get an update on her tomorrow.
I hope you had a good Halloween season, Wanda. When are you and the Capt going to vegas?
Hi Mother! Nothing in the nest.
Hi, KARLA...They don't come to the nest at night.
Really love that beautiful butterfly
Oh - so where DO they go?
We will leave for Vegas the first week in March----if gas doesn't go to $5.00a gal.
Wanda - Once the eggs hatch, won't it be great to be able to see them through the nighttime hours.
Thanks Jo - it took me quite some time to figure out how to get it there. And not so sure that I could do it again LOL
They roost in the trees, just like other birds. When they start to think seriously about a family and produce some eggs, they are in the nest most of the time.
Yes it will Jo, but it will be even better to have audio!
Well - I thought all birds "live" in the nest (or hole in the tree). Just like Daddy says - you learn something every day.
That is why I will always have the Sycamore Nest Tree - I just don't think I remember how to change it without a having a hassle. AND the eagles are right up in that tree above our nest!
Karla, I should have known that you would figure out how to get your avatar on here. Next time you come here, you will have to show me how to do it.
Alright you two Momsters --- I am heading out!
Good Night
Peace to You & Yours
I pray Sunny is doing ok..
Prayers for everyones needs
Good Morning Early Birds
See - there you go - "AVATAR"??? It's a butterfly picture to me.
Good night Jo - thanks again for the warm welcome.
Oh, Karla, you have sooo much to learn! LOL
GOOD NIGHT JO--Thanks for helping my BUTTERFLY.
Butter, still not getting your e-mails.
Can't wait to get something faster than dial up. Then I can speed through learning and watching the nest! The mountain climb is soooo sloooow.
I'm going to have to check with others to see if they are getting them. Mostly everyone is - but maybe 2 or 3 others I need to chek on. It is your verizon account right?
Yes, it is Verizon.
I have been getting e-mails regularly from Denise, so I should be getting yours.
I am going to turn in. Meet me here in the morning at about 6 o'clock with a cup of coffee and we can have coffee together and watch for Lib & Belle.
AND...you can meet SUZ and Maybe Candy and Robyn.
GOOD NIGHT TO EVERYONE
SLEEP WELL
I've checked my settings and everything should be going through to you. I'll call Shentel and see if they can help me tomorrow. Although I thinks it's weird how you get verizon mail on Yahoo screen.
K - see you in the AM.
Love ya nite!
Butterfly - beautiful pic.
An avatar is a picture to represent you!
No Dolly. I think they have stopped looking.
Went to Chubby's for bar-b-q tonight...yum!
Going to hit the hay here also,
Good night, everyone.
Morning, Suz!
Moments ago From Frodocam -
She's gone!
Our chick has made its first flight. Video soon
WOO HOO How about that Paula!
Now what are we going to watch for our late night viewing - polar bears?
Those Florida eagles had better hurry up and lay some eggs!
Cape Coral or Tesoro nests - or both?
Headed in to bed........
Talk with you in the morning....
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE/GOOD MORNING TO A NEW WEEK WITH SUZANNE AND THE OTHER EARLY BIRDERS...
Make sure to watch the video of Dolly fledging...watch closely, she's fast.
Thank goodness,they had the video on the likely fledgling this year!
Notice, yesterday she was picking fuzz, but today she's very sleek and adult looking...off she goes! Last year they fledged as soon as the fuzz had gone too.
Have a happy week.
Jim
Just checking in afew minutes before bed... So our lil Dolly/Hope flew the coop.. I hope she comes back so we know she is safe and well...Took Jasmin to her mothers and was hard to leave her but its took a toll on me having her all weekend constantly just tired... BUT i loved every moment of having her here.. Hope Dana is ok didnt see where she blogged today... Well time for a nice long bubble bath and the whirl pool whizzinnnn... Ahh i can feel it now... Niterssss sweet eagle dreams to all... Hugs, Nilla
Morning, world. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Monday's sure roll around fast, don't they? Darn.
Nice clear night out, tons of stars, and saw a sliver of a moon down here. 33 at my house, 41 here, but not windy so not too bad. Did have to scrape this morning, but it wasn't much.
See Dolly-Hope has fledged. There is a video on their site dated today with first flight. So she fledged today sometime. It's evening there now, and all I see is an MT nest. Maybe she'll come back and let us know she's doing alright. That was sure fast!
Bai and Squiggles are asleep in birthing den, and Tai is curled up in a ball asleep on cam 2, and can't see panda on cam 1.
Need to go see what I missed.
All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Good morning, Suzanne..
I hope you got all your clocks set back and put in an extra hour's shut-eye.
I got up all bushy-tailed, had some breakfast, set the clocks, and then I snoozed on and off much of the day????
Felt more rested, for sure, but now I'm ready to hit the rack again.
Have an appointment to get my flu shot in the morning. So good night, have a great day.
Jim
Morning, Jim. Sorry I missed you. Didn't expect anyone to be up this early on this Monday. Figured everyone would be training their body clocks to the new times.
Glad you're getting a flu shot, got mine a couple weeks ago. And yup, got the clocks that I use changed, but did get up early. But slept most of the weekend anyway, cold is still hanging on and making me crazy! Can't seem to shake it. Hopefully, soon.
Ok, Jim, sleep tight, and get a good rest.
Blog at you later.
Good night, Suz..
Maybe talk before you leave again... Try that "Zicam"--homeopathic-- at any drug store. Make sure you breathe deeply through your nose for a while, and it should help a lot.
Jim
Thanks, Jim. Hope you can get some sleep!
Tai just woke up, kinda just wobbling around, not moving. And Bai is feeding Squiggles her midnight snack. OH, reminds me, better go vote for her name!
Chrissy, if you happen to check the blog, enjoy your BonFire Night tonight! I think that's what you said, for Guy Fawlkes day. Enjoy the food and fireworks!!
Mom walked out and left our Squiggles all alone. And yup, that last almost a whole minute! Squiggles was squiggling, now mom has her. Mom came in with a half ton of bamboo, picked up Squiggles and think she may be trying to get Squigs to nurse. Mom is sitting right in the middle of all the bamboo. Yup, Squiggles is nursing, but I can't see Bai's legs, they're under the bamboo. Oh my, now we're gonna roll the Squiggles.
GOOD MORNING SUZ--
I have been watching Squiggles (havn't seen her in 2 weeks), Bai is really giving her a work-out. I'd love to hear the noises she surely is making.
Yes, Jim, I have heard that Zicam is very good.
I am off to make some coffee before L & B make their visit.BBL
Morning, Wanda! Bai sure was giving her a workout. Bai's working on that bamboo now, and Squiggles is scooting around. She's so cute! Did you vote for her name? You can do that now on their site.
Glad you're here, I'm thinking the kids are probably gonna arrive shortly, if they keep around their same time.
Bai is really rolling that bamboo around. She's so funny when she does that. Now it looks like she's standing on her head on the bamboo. Poor Squiggles is trying to keep her head above the bamboo, and Bai is just throwing it all around.
Now she's covering herself with it! And now Squigs...sorta. Oh, no, Squiggles is gonna try to get outta the way of that bamboo storm! Bai sure is having a good time.
Awwww, now Bai has put the bamboo down and picked up little Squiggles. Time to eat again.
She has grown so much and even more adorable, if that is possible. For 2 weeks, each time I would go into that site, She was either buried under Mom or it was so dark I couldn't see anything.
Glad you got to see her this morning. She's nursing now, little cutie!
Hope the kids show up. Didn't read back, but I'm guessing they were here off and on this weekend.
Yes, I did vote for her name--I chose WILD AND WONDERFUL. Oh, that was the State slogan I voted for. Tee Hee! I voted for Jun Jun because she is PRECIOUS.
They were here yesterday morning at just about this time. Stayed about half an hour. Really checked out the Egg Cup. Both of them just really concentrated on that area. Are they trying to tell us something?
They landed at 6:19am yesterday.
Good morning ladies,
Where can I find Squiggles?
Oh, Wanda, that's the same name I voted for this morning! I think she is Precious too, and thought it would be a perfect name for her!
You can see the egg cup now, so they must have done some work on it. Let's hope they show this morning!
Oh, hi Butterfly Mama. Welcome! Haven't talked to you before, so glad you're here.
Squiggles is the SD panda cub.
http://www.sandiegozoo.org/zoo/ex_panda_station.html
All on one line. Bai is her mom, and we just nicknames the baby Squiggles when she was born, because she was squiggling all the time.
GOOD MORNING BUTTERFLY MAMA--
Hope you have a cup of coffee. The eagles should be arriving soon.
Well, darn, the little toots are having THEIR second cuppa coffee! They do like to keep us waiting!
I was trying to remember if it was Friday or Saturday that they didn't show all day.
OH yea, they were a no show Friday, at least while I was at work. I had forgotten that!
I found the panda - is that the baby?Too early for all this switching back and forth on dial up. LOL
Oh I see it's mama and the little bit.
So Ok, kids! You're adoring public is waiting!!
OH JUST LANDED!
She must have heard me! Think that's Belle.
Which eagle is it?
""EAGLE ARERT
Sure someone typed it before me. I had to sign in.
Morning Wanda, Jim, Suzanne and Butterfly Mama (Welcome to the group).
Butterfly Mama, Belle is in the nest now. Bai and Squiggles are sleeping.
We're waiting for Lib to show up too!
Morning, Dana! You're an early bird this morning!
Suz, You got WAX!
Suzanne - I got to see Lib yesterday - we think. I just can't tell them apart without seeing them both together.
I wonder now if that is Belle. Kinda looks small, and standing where Lib always stands. Gonna retract my Belle, and say that's Lib.
Suzanne seems the time going back is my hours. Just weak up to see Lib and Belle like I use to do.
Come on Belle call Lib in.
Good to see you so early on here DANA.
First pic I thought for sure it was Belle, 2nd pic cam showed looked like Lib, this one looks like Belle so I am sticking with Belle lol JMO.
Wanda great your daughter is here. Butterfly I love your picture.
Belle is gone maybe to get Lib.
I'm glad you got to see Lib yesterday. He's the smaller of the two. Not sure who is in the nest now.
Well, darn, nobody! Shucks!
I agree Suz---I think it is Lib. That's what you taught me. Belle seems to fill up the whole nest.
Must have gone for coffee
DANA--how did you know Butterfly Mama was my daughter?
Last season and the one before I always went by the tail feathers. Didn't have too much of a problem.
This season the way the cam is set to picture them is so different. I'm still trying to tell them apart.
Wanda, is Butterfly Mama your daughter? In that case, a VERY special welcome to you, Butterfly Mama! Love your pic, by the way.
When Belle is in the nest, it doesn't look like there is going to be room for 3 babies. The nest looks smaller. I guess it is the cam angle.
Wanda I read the blog.That's how I knew... wink
Wanda what do you pay for internet cable through verizon?
Yes, Suz, BM is my baby. Her name is KARLA and she joined us yesterday. I'm soooo glad to have her on board.
Suzanne - thanks for the welcome. My mother told me how wonderful all of you are and I just had to join.
Dana, I'm not exactly sure, but it is somewhere around $15.
I agree, Wanda. The inside looks smaller than last year by quite a bit. I'm hoping it's all those sticks they have in the center that maybe they're gonna use to build up the sides! Cause Belle sure fills that nest when she's in it. No wonder little Lib stays on his perch, he can hardly fit.
Tai is up and strolling...
Wanda remember it's a small world. Remember the picture that Gene showed me. The one he carries of you two standing with your back to that house. Yep that house...lol boy it is a small world. You will have to tell Butterfly about that one from the dinner at Rumsey Tavern.
Karla, did you bring your coffee with you? Mine is almost gone. Time for an EAGLE TALON. LOL
Oh, ok. Welcome Karla! Glad you joined us, we do have a good time! Who knew one little eagle nest would lead to cams all over the world? And people all over the world? But it is fun!
Suz...You didn't stop for your Talons & Shooters Friday. If you had I know you would feel better today!! LOL
EAGLE ALERT
Oh, Tai's draggin bamboo around, and one of the parents on the other cam is trying to get paw under door.
BACK!!!!!
Okay - now I have to get something faster than dial up. I can't keep up with you ladies, the nest, Squiggles and now "Tai"
Lib is at his position where our Spunky 2 seasons ago always went. 12 o'clock position. Morning Liberty ( :
LOL, sure didn't, Wanda. Wanted to get home to take a nap so I could stay awake for Meerkat Manor! Which I did, for once!
Oh Karla, if you only knew! We also hang out in Africa, Australia, which by the way, Dolly-Hope fledged today, their time. All over the world.
Kinda looks a little foggy at the nest, down on the right. Is it foggy out?
Dana, I thought that was Lib. I am still learning. When do they start nesting for the season?
Suzanne I got to see Meekat Manor last week and it made me sad. I think I must have came in on the show at a bad time.
Yes mother I had my coffee (without cream again!) But all this excitement is calling for an Eagle Talon!
Well, poof, gone. Hopefully they'll be back.
No fog here Suz. But the nest is closer to the water. So it could be foggy there.
What is Meerkat Manor? Is it a cartoon or live animals?
Gone again maybe will come back.
Butterfly yes verizon or cable really makes the difference. I remember dail up and it is hard to keep up. We are here and so glad you joined us. As I said before WELCOME
Suzanne - I live somewhere on a mountain and am limited to lifes conveniences - so all we have is dial up. Dish Blue is available - I think we may go with that.
Karla, you will have to call me sometime and tell me how you got your beautiful avatar on here.
Dana - Verizon isn't even the phone system here - we have Embarq (which used to b Sprint). Comcast is outrageous - almost unreal. We have Dish Network and can get Dish Blue - so I better get it soon so I can keep up! LOL
Wanda, it's Meerkats! They live on the Kalahari, and Columbia(?) University has been studying them for 4 years now. Awesome show! It's on Animal Planet Fridays at 8:30, at least in my area. Also repeats on Saturdays at 11:30, and sometimes in the afternoon at 3:30. It is an awesome show! But unfortunately last Friday was the last show of Season 3. I found them by accident, and watch them every week, but gotta admit, mostly on Saturdays, cause I fall asleep on Fridays!
Check into Dish Blue I heard it is expensive. If you have called verizon and cable and they can't give you an idea when they might be available to you. Well then I guess Dish Blue is what you'll have to go with. There isn't a something called "frontier" is there Butterfly?
Mother - I think I can talk you through it. The hard part was figuring out the URL.
Dana, you haven't mentioned it in a while, but how is your knee coming along. I noticed at our last get-together that you were getting around a lot better.
GOOD MORNING SUZANNE, WANDA, DANA AND A NEW EAGLE WATCHER, BUTTERFLY MAMA! WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME!
Butterly, there are several folks with dial-up on here, so you're not alone.
Ok, guess I'll send the few pics I have. Darn, thought they'd be back by now.
Dana - Frontier doesn't sound familiar, but I'll check. I am with Shentel right now - it's the only provider I've ever used. 10+ years. They have something faster - but not up here
Ooops, that's Butterfly! Sorry bout that, AC has been on for the last 2 hours, and my hands are getting numb and can't type!
GOOD MORNING CANDY--I was hoping you would come on this morning and meet my daughter. She is the one whose in-laws has a beach house down your way.
Hi CB Mom,
Thats where I want to be right now!
Morning Candy are you at home or at school?
Suz - thats ok. My keyboard is wireless and the batteries run low sometimes and skip complete words when typing.
Guess I missed the arrival of Liberty and Belle. :( My teacher is in early, sooooooo she caught me on here. :( Later gator.
NEW THREAD IS UP LADIES---COME ON OVER.....
See ya later Candy hope your day goes well.
Butterfly you fit right in here.
Pics of the visits are away...
