New thread. Lots of rain here last night.
Yesterday, we turned south onto a road called the Snickersville Turnpike near our house. Up in a tree I saw a bird, likely a hawk I figured, perched 30 feet over the road. As we got closer, we saw it was not hawk, but an adult bald eagle. We stopped the car and watched it for a while. The bird didn't seem the least bit bothered by us...

Good morning all. Thanks for the new thread. You all in WV gonna have to start getting up earlier. have a great day its off to work for me.
GOOD MORNING & THANKS for the new thread STEVEN!!---STEVEN--It must have been one of our WV EAGLES you saw---and he recognized you!!---ho!--CONGRATS GLO!!--#1 TODAY & EVERY DAY!!!
A SECOND GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!---MEGAN--CANDY--WANDA & GLO!!----Miserable--icy--gloomy--rainy day in WV this a.m.--temp. 33°---I said all these things on the last blog---AFTER GLO INVITED US OVER!!----BOTTOM LINE!!----"Weather is LOUSY---but LIFE IS GOOD!!---ENJOY"--
GOOD MORNING NORMA, GLO AND STEVE..
Steve, too bad you didn't have your camera. Sighting an eagle is a great way to start the day!
Just got a phone call from My Karla (Butterfly Mama). She lives in Linden, Va. which is just up the mountain from Front Royal, Va. She said the sound of falling trees awakened her last night and they continued to fall throughout the night and I could hear one falling as we spoke. She has no power. Her hubby made coffee the Old Fashion way, on the wood stove.
It is now raining very hard here. I think the temps are high enough to keep it from turning to ice again. The roads don't seem to be slippery, but that could change.
Don't see any snow or ice at the NZOO!---The 'LITTLE PRINCE' is lying back eating his pile of bamboo!! If you stop & listen you can hear him!
If you look closely beind the panda at NZ, you will see the ice on the trees. Panda is sound asleep. Best thing to do on a day like this.
Good mOrning...icy trees and probably roads here too...33°..so it should start melting...
Wet eagle at BWO
And how neat is that Steve! So awesome to see them in the wild like that.
Windy and snowing in Maine
Can barely see eagle at Tesoro
Eagle at BWO with a nice fish...second eagle just showed up...
Good Morning!
2 wet eagles at BWO with big fish!
Hello everyone - Soggy out this am -
we have branches all over the yard -
mainly the neighbors' pine trees.
I assume the Ice got them - power went out just momentarily about 3 different times as I was going to bed last evening.
Steve That was great about you all sighting the eagle. Like Norma said, I think he was from WV and just looking for you. lol
Lisa has new Nest Update remarks & photo on the BWO page. She answered the question I had about the refresh times. That Lisa is On The Ball!
Moosewatch cam Moose, Deer and good old Sidekick are at the feeding bins............
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE....HAVE A GOOD ONE It is 47° here. Wanda we have no ice at the zoo, just heavy rain during the night and bad winds predicted this afternoon.
Looked as though Sidekick chased the deer off and then he disappeared....
OTTERS are out at the NZ and everyone in in the pool:).
LOL, those BW eagles really bond, don't they?
THANKS LISA---You certainly have a command of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE----"PRE-EGG BONDING"---Must remember that---We see it every now & then on the blog!!!
Wet eagle trying to dry out at BWO
Can see eagle head at Tesoro now
wow, now that is wet, need one of those drive thru blow dryers like at the car wash......
LOL, Mits. He sure is soaked!
WOW!!---Wind is blowing hard at the ME NEST!!---You can hear it ROAR!!!---Spiting snow too---
Just switched at Tesoro
PAULA & HELEN!!---That EAGLE at BWO---looks like he flew into a fan!!---ho!---poor soul!!---

Good Morning Eagle Friends....good time for sleeping in.
Steven thank you for the new thread. Neat I like that you wasn't expecting to see an eagle and bingo there sits one just for you and your family. Early Christmas Present Steven.
Well it is up to 35 here...still icy and wet outside. No I'm not going out to get the paper lol....
Robyn enjoy yourself and hope the jitters goes away.
Panda Alert It looks as though Bai has gone outside & ZZ is with her........ I can't believe it~
Sitting up by a log.... Bai eating her bamboo.......
Am I going blind or is it real!
how adorable, just Mom and her girl...
Jo thanks for the ALERT wow she is right there with Bai. hee hee ZZ and some bamboo too sure she is just playing with it. Look at her sitting against that log.
there she goes heading off to explore
I guess from seeing ZZ in the den, we just didn't realize how large & mobile she has become! I was thinking Bai had to drag her out there - but by golly I think she walked on her own!
She is much bigger than I thought ZZ was. In the den she looks so small. Look at her going off on her own. Like Mits said "exploring". So cute ( :
MORNIN' JO & DANA---Yesterday afternoon when I was watching SQUIGGLES & BAI----They were outside & lil' PRECIOUS was just every where---fell into a little hole & had to really wiggle to get out!!---BAI just ignored her & continued to eat her bamboo---When PRECIOUS finally got out went over to BAI & climbed up on her!!!---SHE'S A TRIP!!
Mei Xiang used to be right by Tai's side when he went exploring, and would drag him off a branch if he tried to climb, but this is Bai's 4th, so she is really relaxed.
Now the poor eagle at BWO is getting blasted by the wind...
Norma I do remember reading that you did write that in the comments. Now that I think about it.
Wonder if ZZ is in that hole again.??
hey, at least he will dry faster!!
Weather at BW says 49 degrees with the winds at 14 mpr - Well he won't freeze!
bbl
The PINK FLAMINGOS are really enjoying the water pool this morning!!---lots of wing flapping!!!
What happened to OUR COURT MAGISTRATE??---Have you been too busy to check in???---MISS YOU!
Pook on the Moosewatch cam home page has a new article about Moose Milk!
Link to Moosewatch article
I imagine that someone is tracking ZZ in her travels - I sure haven't seen her in a while!
BBL
2 eagles at BWO
And an eagle at WE
Eagles really hanging on at BWO
haha...yes, when I write the cam updates I have to remember that schoolchildren are reading it, so I end up choosing the wording carefully.
:-)
GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY...
EAGLES AT BWO; EAGLE AT WE.
JIM
ZZ Bear was ouside with Mom yesterday, as Norma was saying, and it was wonderful to watch her in the sunlight. She tried to taste everything she saw. Tried to take a bite out of the log that she triped over then fell into a hole and took a while to climb out, but she is infalable now. The sky's the limit! I can just forsee her getting into all kinds of predicaments. More fun for us.
GOOD MORNING JIM, Thanks for the heads up on the eagles.
Good morning, Wanda,
How's your day going so far?
Jim
I love it football in the snow...Jax vs Pittsburg at Pittsburg snowing...
Then field covered Browns at Cleveland......and snowing hard !!!
Dianna and Wray have been battling over the WE nest this morning....
Male eagle at BWO.
Jim
Also, there's another eagle on the WE nest in Catalina.
Jim
Both eagles in the high wind at BWO.
Jim
Sorry, they were gone before I posted the previous comment, I guess.
Jim
Paula, what's going on at the WE nest?
Has anyone seen the male recently? Perhaps Dianna is having troubles getting or holding a male with Wray on the nest and pushing her weight around.
What do you think it's about??
Jim
Ice is melting here..not windy yet...power outtages and downed trees up in the mountains...I feel lucky.
Jim, Dianna and Wray seem to bicker at the beginning of the season...saw it last year, too!
The male, 01, was at the nest this week.
And for that matter, all 3 were on the nest recently, within the last week or so as I recall.
Eagle back at BWO
2 now at bwo
Look at ZZBear go...follow the leader!
Thanks, Paula,
I didn't realize they bickered ... adds to the mystery of what the three of them are doing.
Jim
Winds are picking up!
It's a threesome, Jim...
ZZBear playing rolie polie in the den now
Has anyone gotten on the Norfolk Botannical Eagle Cam site. They are saying that the eagles are building a new nest in a nearby pine tree and have a video of it. They say that they will have to move their cams to the new nest. So action is starting there now too.
That ZZ Squiggles is just one big fuzz ball. I just love to watch her.
I am not able to get into Cape Coral or Tesoro this afternoon. Anyone else having trouble?
Boy there is surely a definite egg cup in our Shepherdstown nest now.
What do you suppose; are the BWO and EAGKE AKERTWE both
both there now by egg cup
EAGLE ALERT IN OUR NEST!!!
One has now gone
Where is everyone? HELLO!!!!!
Eagle Alert!
EAGLE ALERT OUR NEST WAS 2 NOW ONLY 1
WANDA, PAULA, JIM, COME IN....OVER
Hi Vicky and Paula. Didn't know where everyone was. Thought you were all taking panda naps.:)
$#@$%@ COMPUTER!!!
Now you know where I was Candy...I was STuck!
Looks like Lib left in the nest...
Calm down PAULA :) YOu'll get there.
Just a wee bit windy at the nest!
I'm Better now Wanda :)
I was so excited to see an eagle come and then two, that I couldn't spell it right.! :)
My foot hurts from kicking the computer desk, tho.
That was funny, Candy. They came in on midsentence on ya!
I was over at the Botannical gardens site...was reading the article...had heard that last week, but didn't have a chance to look there...haven't checked out the pics yet
Is Paula having problems???
I hope Belle went to get a fish. Would love to see them share it.
That's a weird position Lib is in
Tail curved to the left.
Maybe it's just the way the wind is blowing his feathers...
He really does have a good wind blocker built up in the nest.
PAULA, I can just see you kicking your computer desk. I hope your foot didn't suffer too much. :)
On the move.
HI JO Nice to see you on. It is time to watch our beautiful nest and eagles again.
Was everyone refreshing at once? Took forever for the pic to come back, but Lib is still there, facing the cam...looking left.
He just seems content to sit there.
Nightlight is coming on
There are supposed to be installing a nightlight on the VA cam also.
PAULA That would be soooo great. We will really have alot of nests to watch night or day.
Oh well, I have to go to see my husband in a living nativity at our church. He has to be there at 5:30, so I am going to hae to go. Hope yo all get some good pics to post while the eagle or eagles are there. Pooey to the living nativity. Later gators. :(
POOF
Lib just left...you didn't miss much Candy!

~~GOOD NIGHT, EVERYPERSON~~
I hope you had a great weekend.
GOOD MORNING TO SUZANNE AND THE EARLY BIRDERS.
MERRY CHRISTMAS,
JIM
It is 31° here in Martinsburg, but the wind chill factor makes it feel like 16°. We are having wind gusts at 50mph and high wind advisory til 6am. DRIVE CAREFULLY SUZ.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
Hmmm- seems like Suzanne took another day off, what a vacation she is having. MT nests everywhere. And the wind is still gusting here, what a blustery night, supposed to stop later today.
2 eagles at BWO now, and they are both yelling at something.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE MT nest again, Suzanne is not here, and neither are the eagles.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
I'm guessing that the high winds kept our Suz at home this morning.
It is 29° and the wind has calmed down. Maybe Lib and Belle will come to the nest and see if the wind did any damage.
Now I see, one of the BWO eagles has a fish, and someone must be flying to close to the platform, both the eagles are yelling again.
Megan, did Suz show up Saturday???
Yikes, the eagles at BWO do look like they are in a mood this a.m.
It looks like it is snowing or sleeting in Pa....No wildlife around.
Bluefield still has a fair amount of snow on the ground, but the traffic is moving well. SHARON, you will have to tell us how much snow you got. Did you get any of the high winds?
Hello Helen, got your card Sat., thanks:) I did see Suzanne Saturday, she came to see me and was getting her haircut. PA was getting hit by a lot of snow and ice yesterday that we missed, guess the roeds were still a mess today.
GOOD MORNING MITS & MEGAN
Meagan, that's what I figured, there was diffently a line of where they was bad weather and not so bad weather.....here in D.C. we gaot the not so bad weather, some rain, and the wind here has not been that bad, just some gusts everynow and then...are you finished at the market now????
Hello Wanda:) running outside to start the van....brrrrrr....
Morning Wanda!!!
D'OH!!! Megan.....not Meagan!!!
Ha, don't worry, I've been called worse..lol Yes, I am finally finished making wreaths, and I am exhuasted, been working every day since 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. Now I need to bake cookies and clean house today.
Hey, take a break....
Mits, what do you suppose the panda at NZ is eating? Whatever it is, he/she is really enjoying it.
I'll go look, Wanda
That is her a.m. goodie bag, its to keep her quiet til they let her outside, its veges
Megan, you are always in a hurry. Now that you are done with the Greens, maybe you will stay with us awhile. Hope you had a good season.
Hi Mits, Floragirl and Wanda. One more week till Christmas Eve. Happy Eagle Watching.
Steve has a new Thread up.
Love the way the pandas sit and eat like a human. I saw ZZ bear sitting like that Sat.
