deb said...

I always miss those Maine eagles. Only one time have I seen one there. Darn laundry!!

normabyrd said...

CRAZY SOUNDS at ME NEST!!

MITS said...

the NATIONAL ZOO is closing at 2:00p.m.

deb said...

Pretty soon, we won't see any of the nest if the snow keeps coming down. I am off to get some things done. Windchill warnings for tomorrow, so I don't want to go out if I don't have to.

We made it back from Winchester! I was afraid the doctor would be closed, but he was open for business and was very busy. The snow started just as we pulled into the hospital and by the time I got out there was about 2" on the ground. The roads were VERY bad on the way home...wrecked tractor trailer and so many cars, I lost count. We decided to go on Rt. 11 instead of I81. Felt safer.
Doctor said everything looked OK but I had to have my Mammogram taken over...said my chin showed up in the xray. Now you know my chin is not even close to my mamms. I think the technician messed up. I don't think my chest will ever be the same. I feel like I have 2 planks sticking out in front of me.
Thought about stopping by the video store to see what'a up with Nilla, but it was still snowing hard and we just wanted to get home.

Costume Lady said...

OH,LOOK AT THE SNOW ON OUR NEST! It is beautiful, but I am glad we don't have any eggs yet. Wonder what Lib and Belle will do when they come for their afternoon visit.

normabyrd said...

The 'LITTLE PRINCE' is out in the SNOW----eating his bamboo----THIS IS HIS KINDNA' WEATHER!!! ho!

wvgal_dana said...

Welcome back home Wanda glad you both made it safely.

normabyrd said...

The FLAMINGOS are still wading in the water!----LOTS of little ducks just swimming around them!--FUNNY to watch!!

grannyblt said...

My son lives in ME and thinks the area of the nest is in an area not accessible to the public. I just hear birds.
Snowing here in NW PA, a deep freeze predicted for the weekend.

normabyrd said...

How much snow do you have GRANNYBLT?----Still snowing here!!---Looks like a winter wonderland!!

Mema Jo said...

Forecast doesn't sound like our weekend is going to be great. Hope L&B just stay up on the branches or find a nice fir tree in which to nest. Glad you're home Wanda- Really glad you found your car under all that snow! Especially since you sometimes can't find it without any snow on it!!!! LOL I just had to brighten you day with good FUN memories!

Mema Jo said...

grannyblt this is the first chance I have had to say Welcome! I am down in MD and of course by my name of Mema I am a granny also!
How far up in NW PA are you? Glad you have joined in with us!

Mema Jo said...

Mits I guess they mainly close the zoo due to cleaning off all the sidewalks. I see on Panda Cam 2 that he went inside - no snow play!
Can you tell me what is with the back wall reflection or light flashing???

MITS said...

I see he is inside now, Jo....the back wall has a mural of mountains in China, not sure what the flashing is....not sure if we have a cam operator or if the keepers are turning the cams to where pandas are now, they have very little time when the are tending to the pandas...sounds like they are working on bringing the other 2 in now

MITS said...

eagle at BWO

Costume Lady said...

Jo, Gene drove me over to Winchester, otherwise, I'd still be looking for my car!LOL

Mema Jo said...

Oh thank you Capt for taking care of your gal!

grannyblt said...

Thanks for the welcome MemaJo.

I live about 80 miles north of Pittsburgh, so we get a little more snow than there, but not so close to Lake Erie that we get too much lake effect snow. We had some snow left from earlier that had melted somewhat yesterday but a little more today. It has stopped for now.

That eagle has been at the BWO for some time. I notice their eagle nest doesn't appear to have snow.

Our poor bunch need the snow plow!

Mema Jo said...

Cambridge sure isn't getting much of this winter snow weather......

Mema Jo said...

Our nest is beginning to look like the Oregon nest! Sorta hope we don't get an afternoon visit.... Going to be some pretty cold talons if we do!!

MITS said...

WEATHER FOR CAMBRIDGE, MARYLAND...


This Afternoon
Rain. Highs in the upper 30s. East winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent.

Costume Lady said...

Just a couple of wing flaps by Lib & Belle and the snow will be history. We have about 5" here....Still snowing but gently.

Costume Lady said...

I'm glad to see our Weather Girl is back. Thank you Vury Much.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at BWO

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, I believe the snow is going to cover the camera lens!

Costume Lady said...

i THINK YOU ARE RIGHT SHARON,WE need to get down there with a snowblower. Oh, no, that won't work; might scare them away. I guess we will let Mother Nature do her thing.

MITS said...

feeding at Tesoro

Mema Jo said...

Out of here for a few - dinner planning time! Didn't turn on the
Crock Pot earlier! lol

BBL

MITS said...

wonder if they will visit?

paula eagleholic said...

Heading home...see ya later!!

MITS said...

YIKES EAGLES IN NEST

MITS said...

DON'T GO YET PAULA....

deb said...

EAGLE ALERT. OUR NEST!!

MITS said...

EAGLE WAS CHECKING OUT THE CUP

MITS said...

DON'T THINK SHE LIKES THE SNOW

MITS said...

BOTH THERE NOW

deb said...

BOTH, through the frozen lens.

MITS said...

CAN'T MOVE ANY STICKS TONIGHT.

deb said...

Too bad the snow froze to the lens.

MITS said...

POOF LIB

MITS said...

POOF BELLE

deb said...

Think Lib left, can't see him anyway.

deb said...

Both gone now.

Costume Lady said...

I guess a frozen nest is not to either one's liking.

deb said...

The Colorado cam at Ft. St. Vrain is back up. Looks like it updates every 2 minutes.

deb said...

A pair of bald eagles spend most of the day in the area around the nest at Fort St. Vrain Station and visit the nest nearly everyday between 8 and 10 a.m. Last year the eggs were laid in early March.

I copied this from the site. They will have a live cam also, not sure if they did last year or not.

MITS said...

I don't think it was a live feed last year, Deb.....our nest looks spooky right now, snow must be covering the night light

deb said...

I didn't think of that, it looks so dark, I bet you are right.

MITS said...

deer at PA

MITS said...

2 MOOSE ON CAM

deb said...

Looks like it is still snowing on the deer cam.

MITS said...

Mema Jo said...

Thanks, Deb - I'll check out the time sequence and add some of Mits'.

Mema Jo said...

Update on Sandra - I will post this on Momsters to send out

Jo,
Sandra is making excellent progress and we(Sandy,her therapists,and me)
are shooting for February 6th(her Birthday)for her release to home therapy. If she is not to a point where her therapists feel she
is ready for release they will at least let her come home for the day.
She wants to know what is happening with the eagles in Shepherdstown?
You will have to reply to my email because she cannot access her mail
from the hospital.
Tom

Mema Jo said...

We know what kind of cards to send to Sandra's home address for Feb 6!
I will be answering Tom's email about our eagles & I'll include some photos
of our eagles.

deb said...

10 is gone.

sun is shining in Oregon

deb said...

Our injured deer is sure staying around awhile tonight.

MITS said...

something is off cam at PH, but making a lot of rustling noises.

deb said...

Wouldn't it be nice to control the camera, so we could see what it was??

Costume Lady said...

I just read back some comment that I missed and Lo and Behold, SANDRA is doing so well she may be able to go home in a few weeks. THANK YOU JESUS!
I sent her a card with a photo of the eagle with it's head bowed when we had the noon Power Prayer. I hope someone showed it to her.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, I am going to turn in early tonight. I have to say that our pic is the strangest looking thing I have ever seen.

Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feathers and fur.

Many prayers for Sandra.

MITS said...

that would be a good idea, Deb.

MITS said...

GOOD NIGHT SHARON, TAKE CARE!

Mema Jo said...

Sandra's home mailing address is: Sandra Osbourn
POB 1623 Shepherdstown WV 25443

Tom is making sure she gets all the cards. Great idea, Wanda of including a photo inside the card! She is asking about the eagles.

Mema Jo said...

Good Night Sharon

It is a BEAUTIFUL snow but I want it to go away.

BABY TESSA is showing signs of a teeny bit of progress. Today was her first snow and she slept through most of it. Prayers.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT

Costume Lady said...

DANA...Sorry, I missed the comment about your great grandson. Had to go back and read. Prayers for him and his family. (((HUGS)))

movin said...

Hey! I just opened Pete's Pond, and I saw some fish or something were breaking the surface of the water, catching insects. All of a sudden there was a big commotion right in the middle of the pond, and up pops Fatty the Crocodile's snout, and he heads for the far bank in the shallows.

It kind of looked like he had been dragging something whitish on the far side of his body, and when he got into the shallows, you could see a huge catfish (40-50 lbs.) in his jaws, flopping wildly. He caught it toward the tail end, so I don't know how long it will take to finish it off.

[:=)

Jim

movin said...

Just looked again, and Fatty has dragged it up onto the bank, so it will be ready to eat sooner.

Jim

movin said...

For some reason, Fatty has dragged it back in the water, where it is thrashing around, perhaps Fatty is trying to snap it's spine.

Anyway, here come a flotilla of turtles to get their share, drawn by all the thrashing.

Jim

movin said...

In the shallows again, and at least two LARGE turtles are right up by the croc's snout trying to rip some big bites for themselves...

Jim

movin said...

Now, four turtles, and if Fatty doesn't wake up, he's not going to have much catfish for breakfast.

Jim

movin said...

WELL, GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE/GOOD MORNING TO FRIDAY AND THE EARLY CREW.

I hope Suzanne makes it in through the snow....

Jim

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
It looks like Suz wisely decided to stay home. There are many Black Ice spots on the roads and it won't warm up enough to melt any of this mess til late this morning.
We are at 31° right now and the high temp. today will be 40°.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning, Wanda. Glad Suz didn't try to make it in the snow.

Our nest sure looks strange, huh?

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SHARON...
I'm glad Suz has a job where they understand what "Bad Roads" mean.

Costume Lady said...

We got about 5" of snow here. JMHO.
Schools are all closed in nearby counties.
Going to turn the heat up and the coffee pot on. BBIALW

movin said...

Good morning, Wanda, Sharon. I'm glad you are up early...don't blame Suzanne for avoiding the driving in the ice and snow.

I'm just up for a short time. Took another look at Pete's Pond, where it's raining now, but I don't see any sign of Fatty the Crocodile right now. He didn't get all the catfish because of the turtles, but he must have downed more than 30 lbs. of it.

There are hundreds, maybe a thousand, Cattle Egrets on the shore of the Pond right now. They must be there for the insect feeds going on this time of year.

Have a great day, all.

Jim

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

EAGLE ALERT - OUR NEST!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I don't think they can do much in the way of nestorations this morning. Way too much snow. Can hardly even see them in the nest.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

They are sitting at the 1-2 o'clock position on the edge, looks like they are just looking around.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Looks like Belle is moving a stick around.

movin said...

I see one of them at least. I sure didn't expect them to show up this morning.

Jim

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning Jim. They are both in there this morning but it is hard to see.

movin said...

Is there more snow due?

Jim

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I don't think there is more snow due but you just never know.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I may have just seen some hanky panky in the snow.

Costume Lady said...

Wow, don't they look cold? My coffee break was too long; I almost missed this visit.
We aren't expecting any more snow today.
GOOD MORNING JIM.

carolinabeachmom said...

EAGLES IN OUR SNOW COVERED NEST!

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MORNING JIM, SHARON, AND WANDA!, Just came into work and pulled up the nest and was greatly surprised to find the two in their nest. Probably wondering where they go from here. ;)

Costume Lady said...

I missed that Sharon, hope you got some pics.

carolinabeachmom said...

Never thought I'd see them this morning. My heart hurts for them after all that work to have it snowed over. Hopefully the sun will come out and quickly dry it up.

carolinabeachmom said...

They had better keep moving or stomping their feed or they will freeze fast! :)

And to think that this was the weekend that I wanted to trip up to Josh's. Posponed.

carolinabeachmom said...

I saw where we had good news about SANDRA yesterday from JO. God keep blessing her and giving her the strength to keep truckin.

AND I saw someone's crock pot lit, UFO flying past my house down here yesterday. :) I hope their dinner turned out ok last night. :):)

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING CANDY...
Did you get any snow?
You can tell Lib & Belle are not happy campers!

Costume Lady said...

Bye Bye!

carolinabeachmom said...

Hope SUZANNE made it home yesterday afternoon. Poof, both gone?

carolinabeachmom said...

Hope SUZANNE made it home ok yesterday. Saw where she got to leave a little earlier than usual. I see she didn't come in today.

Poof, both gone. or is Belle hiding under the snow?

Costume Lady said...

They will be back when the snow melts later today. PROMISE!

carolinabeachmom said...

WANDA I told them at school yesterday that I was going home and get on the blog to tell you all that we had 90' weather and I was sunbathing at the beach! :):):) NOT It just rained here, no snow.

movin said...

I think the fact that they're stomping around in it helps it to melt faster ... recalling last year.

It only got down to around 40° here, but now that strong wind is blowing in again ... I can hear some largish gusts blowing through now.

Jim

carolinabeachmom said...

I'm glad that you and Sharon are on the job. I'll have off thru Tuesday of next week. Break for High School between semesters. Soooo, maybe I'll be able to get in on some of the action.

carolinabeachmom said...

I agree JIM. All that stomping and the body heat from the passionate feelings, has got to help the snow to melt faster. :):)

movin said...

Morning, Candy.

Jim

normabyrd said...

COME ON OVER SNOW BIRDS TO THE SNOW NEST!!

carolinabeachmom said...

The snow stayed west of us in the state. Us being by the water, makes snow flakes few and far between down here. Once an a blue moon, we get a covering. One Christmas break way back the snow was a good one, and the drifts soo deep, they weren equipted to handle it then. I think they are a little more streetwise now.
