I wonder if it is time to hand up the Home Sweet Home sigh yet?

movin said...

Yes, it does seem to be a brisk day in Sioux City, Deb.

Probably about the same at your place, I guess?

Jim

deb said...

Yes, I am only 40 miles from Sioux City. I am usually 1-2 degrees warmer.

Pic of Tesoro chick

IWS forum

carolinabeachmom said...

DANA Was that your pot lid that was the UFO that flew over my house last night? Everyone was on full alert here! :)

MITS said...

thanks, PAULA.

movin said...

I'm thinking the "food" we saw in Lib & B's nest is unmelted snow. It disappeared altogether (as a possible menu item) for a while when the sun hit it more directly.

Jim

MITS said...

sure is a proud looking Momma at Tesoro

carolinabeachmom said...

Thanks PAULA for the heads up on the little chick. Do they still think there is only one there? Too soon to tell probably

deb said...

I have a pretty good picture of it from earlier where you can see the red innards (ick) and if I am not mistaken, legs. I will send in an e-mail.

movin said...

Deb, my uncle (my mother's youngest brother, 3 mos. older than I) and I were both born about 100 miles due north of Sioux City in Minnesota, he in Tracy (Mom's birthplace), I in Currie (Dad's birthplace).

That 100 miles generally makes a pretty noticeable change in the "briskness factor."

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Yep Candy that was it lol everyone in that area and other area close by have been calling in UFO sightings lol

wvgal_dana said...

I love it I love it I love it Paula thank you it was there yesterday though. At least someone got a picture of the little white fuzz ball ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Paula when you said that is where I seen it Dana. It is because yesterday I had seen it there. An today I have been watching as best I could. Can't always be at computer; don't have a back up person lol.

movin said...

You people should have been awake and watching Pete's Pond last night (morning there), when Fatty the Crocodile caught and eventually consumed a huge catfish (with the aid of several large turtles)!

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

I seen in the picture that is right where its little head was. Thank you again for putting the IWS forum link to click on for the picture.

wvgal_dana said...

Paula they were feeding it yesterday at Tesoro.

wvgal_dana said...

I was wondering today if they had a 2nd hatch at Tesoro. As to why the parent wanted the other parent in. If so within a week we will see. One large head bobbing and one smaller.

movin said...

The Eagle at BW is now on the Osprey nest.

Jim

deb said...

Jim, Sioux Falls is 50 miles north and has -18 wind chill. I will take my -7. Although we always say once it is below zero, what difference does it make, It is COLD.

movin said...

It does look as though the mother at Tesoro is feeding at least two different little eagle faces, doesn't it...

[:~) After last year.

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - I think Lynda White at Tesoro thinks the hatching was last weekend...

MITS said...

Lynda had e-mailed me that they said hatching started on Wednesday the 9th

wvgal_dana said...

Paula that would sound about right. I think today "might" have been another hatch. That is why the parents were both looking in the nest at Tesoro.

movin said...

Yeah, Deb,
My mother, aunt and I drove back in the early 60's to my uncles wedding, which had to be March 11th because the girl's parents had been married that day.

Wow, there was snow everywhere from Utah on east, and they were having a blizzard from Sioux City north (I followed a truck load of pigs about 8-10 ft. behind, or we wouldn't have gotten through).

Anyway, it was beautiful back there and freshly buried in deep snow, but it never got above -10° daytime during the whole week. Hahahaha.

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

I know you all thought I was crazy the other day. When I said I spotted a white fuzzy head. lol

movin said...

Did anyone discover how to look at two sites with Windows Media Player at the same time??

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Now I'll be watching how they feed and watching for a 2nd bobble head...it will take a while for this little one if a 2nd hatch today to make its appearance. As it took the 1st one (if 2 now) almost a week.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, I am back. Has the eagle been in our nest the entire time?

deb said...

Not me. If anyone does, let me know too. I have to switch between Tesoro, PH and Norfolk (when it gets back on).

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Sharon it has.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Andrew is working at Bellacino's and I got a ham and cheese grinder. They are so good, and I get half-price since my baby boy works there which makes it that much better.

wvgal_dana said...

Ok how that others have seem the little chick at Tesoro. I going to hum a song in the kitchen while I fix dinner. bbl ( : One chick today maybe 2nd chick.......

MITS said...

ok, now I'm hungry....

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

You know, you can look at whatever that is laying in the nest and make a million different things out of it.

paula eagleholic said...

Sharon - Belle ate the first lunch, then Lib left and came back with his own lunch :)

MITS said...

right now to me it looks like a naked mole rat

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I hope it is not someone's pet!

paula eagleholic said...

LOL Mits!

Parent at Tesoro very alert....looking this way

deb said...

That is one ugly animal. I had to look it up as I hadn't ever heard of it before.

MITS said...

Deb, you can usually see them on the National Zoo cams, but that one is off-line right now

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Deb - you talking about the nekked mole rat?? Really ugly animal.

MITS said...

lol.....that's right needed my WVA accent, nekid.....one ugly animal

deb said...

I saw that site when I googled it.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I think this one may be a direct descendant of George!

MITS said...

not sure what the purpose of that animal is, but I guess there is a reason

paula eagleholic said...

Looking more like a squirrel on it's back to me

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding at Tesoro

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Maybe he is waiting for it to be a squirrelcicle.

paula eagleholic said...

Could be a rabbit...something small with fur

deb said...

Naked mole rats live in colonies similar to bees with a queen that does the reproducing. She resembles a dictator in her rulings. Driven underground by harsh conditions. Live on tubers. Probably more than you ever wanted to know!! Ha.

paula eagleholic said...

Wonder if he will leave it in the nest overnight and roost above it tonight...doesn't look like he's gonna eat it tonight...

deb said...

Forgot to say native to East Africa.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

He is looking down at it.

All you ever wanted to know about a nekked mole rat but was afraid to ask! :)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Now both are there!

movin said...

Looks to me like Liberty has returned.

Jim

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Just needed a little motivation to get started, I guess.

deb said...

That was the abbreviated version, I could go on and on. (HA) The things I learn by being on this site!

MITS said...

belle back

paula eagleholic said...

BRB -

Guess Belle gets the din din?

MITS said...

ahhhh, nekid mole rats, gotta luv em

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Has that been Belle there the whole time and Lib just came back in?

MITS said...

thought it was lib there the whole time and belle back

movin said...

ZZ is on camera again, but she decided to blow some "Z's" again....

Jim

movin said...

Everything quit moving on my WV cam, how about you?

Jim

MITS said...

MITS said...

mines ok, Jim

MITS said...

dad brought a huge fish in at Tesoro

paula eagleholic said...

Liberty is a good man eagle :)

MITS said...

dad took off at tesoro

paula eagleholic said...

Parent eating at Tesoro

movin said...

Eagle on BWE.

MITS said...

beautiful sunset here tonight....nice colors

paula eagleholic said...

LOL Jim - you might think our cam is frozen, the way Belle has her head down on that food....hardly coming up for air!

movin said...

Certainly looks like Belle is eating the object in question, whether it looks like food or not...

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Heading home, catch ya later...

MITS said...

later Paula..

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, she finished that supper reasonably quick!

MITS said...

looks like she is going to let the poor guy have leftovers.

MITS said...

glowing eyes....

MITS said...

looks like they want to take-off

MITS said...

nope maybe just one more bite

MITS said...

ok now my has froze

MITS said...

poof

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mine too Mits.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And now it is back with 1 gone.

MITS said...

and poof again

MITS said...

you know that aways happens, by the time it comes back on they are poofing.

MITS said...

at least they are spending more and more time at the nest

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

They sure are and I am lovin' it!

movin said...

Talk to you people later...got to take care of business.

Jim

MITS said...

just a few short weeks, Sharon and then the fun begins:)

MITS said...

see you Jim.

MITS said...

deer at PA

deb said...

Moose cam didn't come up today. Either the moose are gone or Pook had a bad day with her broken foot.

MITS said...

I just went to that site, Deb, and thought the same thing

wvgal_dana said...

The moose cam was up earlier this morning ladies. Don't know if/when it went down.

wvgal_dana said...

Now I went back to it and I think you ladies ARE RIGHT that is same picture I seen this am. Sorry about that. You ladies forgive me?

MITS said...

I'm so amazed how Baby Tessa's' parents have the strength to report updates every day, guess it is therapeutic

MITS said...

I was reading some of the earlier blog on Tessa, and did not realize that this whole downward trend started after she had laser surgery on her eyes, then contacted the RSV virus....poor baby

Mema Jo said...

I did another candle for Sandra as mine was about to go out

Mema Jo said...

You're right about how amazing it is for Nancy & Anthony to keep the updates coming for Tessa. These 2 young parents' faith is really being tested and I pray they will be rewarded soon with Tessa being healed by God's hands and that they can take her home!

MITS said...

I just lit a candle for Tessa, and on their site, they have an e-mail address for Tessa, so I sent it to her....I have never felt such out pouring of prayers for a total stranger. I love reading all the prayers on the comment section, restores my faith

Mema Jo said...

Time for me to sign off.......
Hard to believe another week is gone.

Good Night All
Stay warm!
Peace to You & Yours
Prayers for all our needs


Suz will have a long 4 day weekend with Monday being a holiday WooHoo!

paula eagleholic said...

I see there is a new pic on the blog page...guess Steve couldn't tell what the prey was either...

paula eagleholic said...

I forgot this earlier today. Wasn't sure how much I was going to be able to blog from work today

Light a candle for Sandra

paula eagleholic said...

Mits - I read back through baby Tessa's whole blog... unbelievable...

MITS said...

She is one amazing baby, been thru so much in 4 months.

MITS said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE Heading to the beach early tomorrow.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT HELEN...Have a fun time. Drive carefully.

Butterfly Mama said...

Mits, Jo, Paula....
Thank you all for praying for Tessa. I have such a full feeling in my heart when I read back thru this blog and others concerning her. Nancy and Anthony have no other children and are totally involved with Tessa. Anthony keeps the updates coming. I hope to meet these wonderful people some day soon.

Costume Lady said...

There is a photo of Baby Tessa on her blog along with nightly update. She is still critical and needs our prayers. Don't forget to keep Sandra's candle lit and light one for Tessa too, while your at it.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT

LOVE YOU KARLA...NITE

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE. LOOK FORWARD TO A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND.

JIM [:~)

MITS said...

GOOD SATURDAY A.M. EVERYONELOOKS LIKE lIB AT THE 11O'CLOCK POSITION..

wvgal_dana said...

MITS said...

EAGLE ALERT...BOTH THERE

MITS said...

HEY DANA... glad you are here, I have to go....

wvgal_dana said...

I believe we just had hanky panky

wvgal_dana said...

Ok Mits take care have a good day and come back lady ( :

MITS said...

I thought I saw hanky panky....I'm off to the beach...as Candy would say, later gators....

wvgal_dana said...

Talk to us after you get to the beach. Or are you already there and going outside?

MITS said...

leaving in a few minutes Dana, just trying to clear out e-mails..

wvgal_dana said...

Drive carefully Mits and check in with us at times from down there.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING LADIES...
I see we have a visitor.

wvgal_dana said...

I remember I think that it has been awhile since you been there. Enjoy and have a great peaceful glimpse of that big ocean. ( :

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD SATURDAY MORNING DANA AND MITS Mits you have a safe trip to the beach. Maybe you'll get out of getting snow there. We are supposed to get a little tonight here.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Wanda yes we do...if you read a little back you'll see things were happening in that nest of ours.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Candy....do you have a long weekend?

Costume Lady said...

Helen, Lucky you. I love the ocean in the winter. ENJOY.

carolinabeachmom said...

DANA she'll have a glimpse of a cold and wild stormy ocean, I think, if the storm comes up the coast. :) But she'll be snug as a bug in a run inside enjoying the change of scenery.

GOOD MORNING TO YOU WANDA Wondered when you were going to appear. I thought you would beat me to the puter this morning. I just kept laying there.

carolinabeachmom said...

DANA Yes, I have off Monday and Tuesday is a work day for us, which I used an annual leave and took it off too. I'm getting reckless in my old age. :)

Costume Lady said...

Those two are getting in a lot of practice. LOL

wvgal_dana said...

Candy that makes for a nice longgggg weekend.

Costume Lady said...

Candy, Capt. Gene got up at the same time as I, so we had coffee together. I almost missed the show.

wvgal_dana said...

Deer on deer cam

eagle at BWO

Costume Lady said...

They really look LoveyDovey this morning.

wvgal_dana said...

The deer with the swollen front left leg is on the cam

Costume Lady said...

Lib says "what, all that hard work and no eggs yet!"

wvgal_dana said...

one gone

Costume Lady said...

Getting ready to take off.

wvgal_dana said...

Tesoro looks wet

carolinabeachmom said...

WANDA Tell Capt. Eagle good morning and way to go. What a way to start the day; together in coffee and presence.

carolinabeachmom said...

Eagle Back

Costume Lady said...

BOTH BACK TOGETHER.

carolinabeachmom said...

DANA It is one long weekend, and I am excited as I can spend it watching our beautiful eagles and be with you wonderful ladies.

Costume Lady said...

We very seldom wake up at the same time. I sit at the computer til he gets up so as not to awaken him.

Costume Lady said...

Getting ready for take-off again.

wvgal_dana said...

Tell Gene "hello"

Sun shining on eagle in Tesoro

Costume Lady said...

Is that breakfast under Belle?

carolinabeachmom said...

Tesoro does look wet this morning, but then I think I see some sun shining of the eagle parents head. Maybe they'll have a better day than we will.

Both nests at CC look foggy and dismal.

wvgal_dana said...

Looks like whatever is in the middle of the nest is being eaten.

carolinabeachmom said...

WANDA I came sneaking out to the puter this morning only to find my husband asleep on the couch. :(

wvgal_dana said...

one left in our nest again

carolinabeachmom said...

Turkey time at Pa.

Costume Lady said...

Lib is not dining with Belle. Maybe he has gone to get some more.

wvgal_dana said...

Turkeys and deer on deer cam

carolinabeachmom said...

I sure wish that cam in Pa would stay still and not keep going back and forth all the time.

Costume Lady said...

Whatever that is, Belle seems to be enjoing it. She is barely coming up for air.

wvgal_dana said...

Eaglet in CC I is stretching its wings....cute

carolinabeachmom said...

It would be nice if Belle would turn around so we could see her eating.

wvgal_dana said...

Maine nest is clear of snow

Eagle still at BWO

carolinabeachmom said...

DANA and WANDA Are you people up there going to get this rain/snow that is coming in from the south today? It even said we here at the beach may get a flake or two after dark.

Costume Lady said...

She must be eating a fish because she is not tearing at it like she would if it were an animal.

carolinabeachmom said...

I was just wondering as I was feeling sorry for Liberty and Belle if their nest got snowed in again. We do have to get through February and March, so I guess the nest is bound to get more snow.

carolinabeachmom said...

I was thinking the same thing WANDA as she wasn't having any trouble eating it.

Costume Lady said...

Not calling for snow til Tuesday. Tomorrow is going to be really cold. 26° for a high and 12° for a low.

carolinabeachmom said...

We are getting a good view of it now. Can't tell. It looks like she ate the middle out of it. Must be part of a fish; like the head down

carolinabeachmom said...

Belle gone

Costume Lady said...

She must have a belly full. She'll be back a little later. And so will I. BBL

carolinabeachmom said...

TWO EAGLES in BWO

carolinabeachmom said...

Tesoro parent moving. Maybe we'll see a fuzzy head.

wvgal_dana said...

Parent at Tesoro feeding chick/chicks

wvgal_dana said...

Candy I still think they had a 2nd hatch yesterday.

wvgal_dana said...

ooppps a little fuzzy head the other if there was a hatch we won't be able to see its head for about a week. By then we'll be seeing the 1st hatches head real good.

carolinabeachmom said...

DANA It sure looked like she was feeding two spots. I had it enlarged to full screen to get a closer view. It looked like shw was feeding two different areas. Time will tell.

carolinabeachmom said...

EAGLE back in our nest.

wvgal_dana said...

yep Candy got it wonder what is so distracting that they start eating then stop to look around and stop eating????????????

Costume Lady said...

Looks like some more breakfast.

carolinabeachmom said...

It looks smallish like Liberty. Thought maybe he came back to finish Belle's breakfast, but hasn't touched it so far.

Costume Lady said...

Maybe not. I think it was just a shadow.

wvgal_dana said...

Can hear the eagles being vocal at Maine

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle at Tesoro calling for a shift change. Sure hope it's not an intruder in the area.

wvgal_dana said...

Decided to chomp down on some food again.

carolinabeachmom said...

Eagle in our nest is going to finish off breakfast, I guess.

carolinabeachmom said...

DANA Tesoro eagle seems quite agitated, doesn't it.

carolinabeachmom said...

TWO EAGLES in our nest

wvgal_dana said...

Belle has arrived

carolinabeachmom said...

What a lovely couple

carolinabeachmom said...

Is Liberty giving Belle some space or is he getting ready for take off?

carolinabeachmom said...

Lib gone

carolinabeachmom said...

Belle gone

wvgal_dana said...

yep gone and still food in nest
the weather is their refrigator

carolinabeachmom said...

Tesoro parent is antsy. She is up and about again. Maybe can sense the change of the guard.

carolinabeachmom said...

Is anyone getting good pics from C1 and CC11? Mine are still very foggy or hazy, whichever; not clear at all.

carolinabeachmom said...

EAGLE in our nest

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle is back!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, Ladies. Was trying to catch up on the blog...

carolinabeachmom said...

It looks like Liberty again. Ok Belle, come on back. It is time to play house.

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MORNING BAULA! Our birds have been in and out.

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, Candy Dana and Wanda.

I hear CC1 is back on! Great news.
