Good Morning Norma, Candy, Wanda, Sharon and Jim. I see I missed a visit. It is 12 here this morning, and we have already had today's high temp, the cold front is hitting. With the windchill we are -8. They changed our windchill warning to an advisory, so must not going to be as bad as predicted.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING NORMA...
Belle and Lib are not interested in the nest right now. They didn't stay in it very long yesterday or this morning.

deb said...

The wind is really blowing in Maine.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING DEB...
That is cooooold!

Costume Lady said...

I have to take my Mom to the doctor again this morning to see why the treatment he gave her is not working. BBL

deb said...

Good luck, I hope they figure something out soon.

BIG TURKEYS IN PA!

normabyrd said...

WANDA---I hope they can find a treatment that will help your Mother!!---I now that is hard on both you & the CAPT.---Will keep you all in my thoughts---

deb said...

I just checked the 10-day forecast. We will get up to 12 on Jan. 23. That is supposed to be first day back to double digits. Hopefully, they are wrong and it will warm up sooner. They tend to change the forecast a lot here.

Schools don't close too often, unless the wind is bad and blowing the snow around.

deb said...

There were a lot. Looked like a boat load.

deb said...

Check out the fog in Cape Coral. It is thick!

normabyrd said...

The 'LITTLE PRINCE' really enjoys the SNOW----Outside---near the water---eating his bamboo!----
MEI---is eating treats---She is lying on her back---shaking them out of her toy!!----She is a HAPPY CAMPER now!!

normabyrd said...

WHOA DEB!---Now that is FOG!!---you can still see some movement in the nest!!---going to check the other nest!!

wvgal_dana said...

2 eagle now at Co Fort St Vrain

wvgal_dana said...

bbiaw

deb said...

When I checked it yesterday, they say the eagles are usually there between 8-10, which would be 10-12 for you in the east.

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning - Yepper! I am a little later then usual.
Mits - Picture on back page of our local news is of LUKE the lion down at NZ looking up into the snowflakes coming at him yesterday. Same photo you sent me last night!
Sun is really bright as it reflects on all this snow - Beautiful Site!
Norma Deb is watching the Eagle Cam at Fort St. Vrain! Deb mentioned it yesterday - I didn't think it was coming on until Feb! Glad she found it. This is the one that last year we joked about the eagles' hairdo!

MITS said...

he is one beautiful lion, that Luke

Mema Jo said...

I will be back in about 2 hrs to check out things. So glad you have had many visits this morning hour already. I didn't read the previous thread - I guess Suz is at home. Early morning travels wouldn't have been too safe.

Stay warm and like you were told
Don't Slip On Any Ice!!!!

deb said...

Morning, Jo. The live cam will be up in February. In order to get this year's news, you have to bring up one of the daily pictures. Then click on the news button and it is 2008. Backwards way to get it.

deb said...

MITS said...

deb said...

I missed the divers this time, Norma.

normabyrd said...

DEB---They were like what you described yesterday----Seemed to be in pairs---at least 4 came directly to the window---no waives!--ho!----Some stayed higher in the water---maybe a training session???----didn't go back through either!!---I do enjoy seeing them!!!

deb said...

Eagle at BWE. Our snowy nest looks like it is turning to slush. BBLT.

normabyrd said...

Just heard on the news: The little polar bear!----They have officially named her FLOCKE!

deb said...

My picture at BWO makes it look like 4 eagles sitting in a row. I am back from the grocery store and I am not leaving the house again. That wind is cold. All the talk of soup yesterday, I needed ingredients.

deb said...

EAGLE, OUR NEST.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

EAGLE ALERT - OUR NEST!

deb said...

Vermillion police are investigating a string of nine burglaries in the last six days.

Officials say it wasn't hard for the burglar to get into the homes as none of them were locked.

Two of the burglaries happened at night when people were at home. Police say homeowners woke up and found a man going through their things.

The burglar is described as being about 6 feet tall.

I guess that means I better lock my doors until they catch him. That is the trouble with small towns, we are too trusting.

deb said...

I guess they are visiting one at a time today.

Mema Jo said...

Just returned from exercise - So nice to have an eagle in the nest as soon as I turn on the cam! I love it!
Yes, Deb - the time has come that locked doors are a necessity! Even in small communities - :( I'm very sad to say!

normabyrd said...

BEAUTIFUL VISITOR IN OUR NEST!!----With the sun shining on the snowy nest!!---GREAT picture!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Both there now.

Mema Jo said...

Norma Do you lock your house doors and windows when you are not home?
I saw Flocke on TV this morning..
Another cutie! Can someone tell me
how to pronounce the name? I had the TV on mute & was reading captions! lol

Mema Jo said...

WOW Thanks Sharon

normabyrd said...

DEB---I am always praising our small town too----But more people are moving in from the city----It is certainly changing things here too!---

normabyrd said...

It is pronounced --FLAKE!! JO!

deb said...

We had one murder about 3 years ago, the first one in 35 years. I locked my doors for a while and then stopped again after a few weeks. I do lock when I go on vacation or away for a few days.

deb said...

Eagle at BWE, also.

normabyrd said...

DEB---I made enough VEGGIE SOUP yesterday to feed the town!!----ho!---Would you believe it's 45° here now with the sun shining!!!---TOMORROW!!!----in the teens!!---
I bet your soup will be better---YOU HAVE A CROCK POT!!---ho!

deb said...

I am going to make chicken tortilla soup. It is very easy and is good when it is cold!

deb said...

Both at BWE.

normabyrd said...

This sounds dumb!---but I lock my door when I am inside!!---But don't lock it when I am not here------unless I will be away over night!!----One thing I do believe & know it to be true----IF THEY WANT TO BREAK IN----THEY WILL!!

deb said...

Both gone at BWE. I will see if they go to BWO.

paula eagleholic said...

Both eagles still in our nest..is that lunch laying in the middle of the nest??

MITS said...

JUST WALKED IN THE DOOR AND THERE ARE THEEAGLES

deb said...

It looks like it, Paula.

deb said...

Real close up at Tesoro for feeding.

Mema Jo said...

BRB maybe? Calling Verizon to cancel the cell phone grandson who went to Germany had. Tried to do it online & cus svc rep said I didn't exist on the account HO HO HO I sure am the account holder & past bill payer!!!
Going to be an assertive phone call
Nice but assertive.......ya know!

Thanks for the polar bear cub's name-I can remember that one Like SnowFlake! lol

deb said...

I am not sure if it is wishful imagination, but I think I see a little head in between the sticks close to the eagle at Tesoro.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I have been trying to figure out what that is in the middle of our nest too! Might not want to know!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Something is getting their attention overhead.

paula eagleholic said...

I believe Belle has moved closer to that lunch...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

They were just at it again.

paula eagleholic said...

Is that why she took off? I missed it....wasn't refreshing

normabyrd said...

What's in the middle of the nest!!-----Who does the food belong to?

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is back

paula eagleholic said...

Anyone else's feed from Tesoro rather jerky?

deb said...

I don't think it is fish, that's all I can tell.

paula eagleholic said...

Norma - I guess they brought it in...no one is sure

MITS said...

LOOKS LIKE SOME SORT OF CARCASS.

paula eagleholic said...

I agree, looks mammalian...

deb said...

My tesoro feed is jerky also.

paula eagleholic said...

Steve - any clue what that is in the nest?

paula eagleholic said...

Must still be something around - either that or they ate some of that elsewhere and brought the rest back to the nest...

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Deb

MITS said...

THEY LOOK LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO GET NEAR IT, maybe a bad enchilda

carolinabeachmom said...

Hey there you all. I just looked into see two eagles, what looks like a small squirrel or mouse and is that another eagle in the nest with them?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I have not seen them show any interest whatsoever to whatever that is.

deb said...

Hey, Candy, it sure looked like it, didn't it. It was the snow and shadows making in look that way. Sometimes it would look like two white socks.

carolinabeachmom said...

One of them is on top of it now.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Lib left and Belle has a white spot on her back.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like she is eating and he left...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Saw it there yesterday and thought it was snow, but I guess not.

carolinabeachmom said...

DEB I thought it was at the left of the nest and looked like the back of another eagle.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like a rabbit to me

carolinabeachmom said...

That is an idea Paula.

deb said...

I was looking right near where Belle was standing.

carolinabeachmom said...

I hope she stays. I am going to ty to get home before too much more happens. BB

paula eagleholic said...

Lib is back

paula eagleholic said...

I thought she brought some of it cloer to the cam...maybe just a piece....That is why I thought it was a rabbit...because of that roundish looking thing towards the cam on this side of the snow...but I mu be mistaken - the bulk of it is still in the middle of the nest....

deb said...

Eagle at BWE.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at BWE

normabyrd said...

I bet it is a small animal!!---I was busy & looked in when SHARON announced "EAGLE ALERT"---We all love you SHARON!!---When you call---always good news!!---THANKS GOOD NEWS SHARON!!!----

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

You are very welcome, Normabyrd!

normabyrd said...

HEY CANDY!!----How about them "TAR HEELS"!!---THEY NEVER LOSE!!!

MITS said...

ohhh, she just yelled...

deb said...

BWE eagle is gone.

wvgal_dana said...

Well Steven identify that animal in the nest and solve our guessing...

I've been a watcher and trying to enlarge pics to tell can't..darn

movin said...

Something resembling sunlight at Kent!!

Eeuuwie at BWO nest.

Your choice.

Jim

carolinabeachmom said...

I see Liberty is back and Belle is still standing over the meal.

carolinabeachmom said...

HELLO DEB, MITS NORMA, PAULA JIM, AND DANA It is the weekend and the birds are still in the nest.

PAULA it looks like your snowman is jumping for joy! What is he all excited about>

NORMA, those HEELS just got lucky the other night at Georgia Tech. I didn't think that they played very good.

IT'S THE WEEKEND!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Have to take Andrew to work. Will check back in a little bit!

carolinabeachmom said...

I am sooooo glad to see that most of the snow in the nest is gone. Those poor birds. They just got it where they were comfy and wham, a blizzard!

carolinabeachmom said...

HELLO TO YOU SHARON. Didn't see you there, You must have been hiding behind Paula's jumping snowman.

paula eagleholic said...

Candy - He is jumping for joy over the snowfall!

wvgal_dana said...

Well Belle was eating on whatever it is????

paula eagleholic said...

Just thought I saw the top of an eaglets head at Tesoro

carolinabeachmom said...

PAULA YOu have got to be kidding. Right? Well then again, as long as there is snow, he can remain a snowman!

paula eagleholic said...

Yes I saw it!

deb said...

Good, Paula. I thought I saw one earlier. I think they are trying to get it on the camera and that is why it is so close and so jerky.

wvgal_dana said...

Yep if you was looking at Tesoro nest at the long branch going out of nest. There at the bottom of it where it goes into the nest is sometimes a fluffy white head ( : ( : hee hee
Glad someone other than me from the other day. Congtrs Deb and Paula!!!

movin said...

Eagle landed on BWE.

Jim

movin said...

Forgot why I came back to the blog....

ZZ is on camera in SD ... Looks like she is pretty high in a tree.

Jim

deb said...

Hi, Jim. The Temp in Sioux City for your uncle is 9, but with the wind it feels like -10.

wvgal_dana said...

Ok my guess finally on the meal at Belles feet is "a frozen whole fish". Rethink as I kept enlarging the pictures. I remembered when it snowed last year we all did the same thing. They did seem to want to eat it. Some how we found out it was because it was left in nest and frozen. They are waiting for it to thaw out some......that's what they did last year.

carolinabeachmom said...

If you look between the nest, I think it looks like two bobble heads. Now that the parent is back , let's see.

carolinabeachmom said...

Tesoro parent moved a stick.

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - that is where I saw it also...

paula eagleholic said...

Lib is back with a stick

paula eagleholic said...

Guess Lib gets the leftovers.

wvgal_dana said...

I think the food in our nest just needed to unthaw some.

paula eagleholic said...

Lib has food under his right talon

carolinabeachmom said...

Yes, it looks like it is his turn now.
