Danelle said...

sandy wants me to tell you all that she is signing off for now.

i want to know the website that has the divers. thanks!

Carol_in_WV said...

Hi, eagle lovers! DEB - thanks for the link to the baby panda video. What a cutie! Don't you just want to grab him and give him a hug? SANDRA - It's been so good to see you on here the last couple of days. I'm sure the joy of watching our eagles will help you get better. I'm worried about the weather forcast - am supposed to go down to the DC area tomorrow to spend some time with my Mom. I usually don't schedule trips in the winter, but since my brother's death, I'm trying to spend more time with her. Guess I'll keep my fingers crossed that the ice will clear up by late morning. I'm hoping to miss the evening rush hour down there!

MITS said...

nestorations at VA

Carol_in_WV said...

Norma - I can't be doing too much web cam watching - remember I'm at work. I do check the divers occasionally - but not often.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I have to go pick up Mattie and Andrew. BBL!

Danelle said...

Suzanne, are you still there? Sandy told me earlier that you live near Chambersburg, PA. That is my hometown.

MITS said...

Danelle, Suzanne, leaves at noon to go home, she is on the blog around 4:30a.m.

Danelle said...

Ok, thanks Mits.

wvgal_dana said...

Sandra it was great talking with you lady. Thank you Danelle for having your laptop there.

wvgal_dana said...

MITS said...

Mema Jo said...

Beautiful Royal Couple

IN OUR NEST

MITS said...

BOTH EATING

MITS said...

SENT YOU SOME PICS JO

Mema Jo said...

Late lunch time

You think they are both eating?

Mema Jo said...

I'll get them -
Aren't their feathers beautiful? I hope our weather stays halfways decent because you know those eggs aren't far away.

MITS said...

think there may be a few little tidbits they are munching on

Mema Jo said...

Do you notice down the right side of the nest that very very long stick?
It looks like it is just hanging there.

MITS said...

they are just gorgeous

MITS said...

poof for 1

MITS said...

yep, I see it

Danelle said...

Yeah! Liberty and Belle together again.

Mema Jo said...

Go Get Him!

Something had their attention.
Pray it wasn't the Hootie Owl!

I bet we all watch NBG this evening!
Glad Paula got in the chat room & found out some things for us.

MITS said...

lol...I think Danelle is hooked:)

Costume Lady said...

Try it again and again until it comes out right Dana. I do it Mits' way also.

MITS said...

I think Dana, is in degree° hell....and can't get out.

MITS said...

something must be flying around the nest, looks like he is watching a tennis match

Danelle said...

I'm hooked beyond a doubt.:)

MITS said...

we are glad you are here, and at the very beginng of the season too, Sandra will be coming home at the most exciting time, and she can share her vast knowledge of this "special" pair, with you, Danelle

MITS said...

working on the nest cup

Danelle said...

Hopefully Belle will have a sleep over tonight.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like lots of fluff there to work with....taking a break now.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Danelle, for helping our Sandra say hello and watch the eagles :)

paula eagleholic said...

Both our nest

Danelle said...

What website has the BWG cam?

MITS said...

paula eagleholic said...

Both are moving sticks

wvgal_dana said...

Danelle said...

You're welcome! Sandy is actually watching right now with me.

paula eagleholic said...

BWG??

paula eagleholic said...

Good Therapy for sure, Sandra!

Mema Jo said...

Putting your pics in the album..
Anymore good ones - send them on!

Yes I do believe that Danelle is a good Momster...
Danelle - I have grandgal at Shippensburg and grandguy lives in Greencastle & works up at Mercersburg Academy. Are you telling us you live in Chambersburg now or grew up there?

Danelle said...

It's the next that had the horned owl in it last night.

MITS said...

Belle is cracking the whip!!

Danelle said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Danelle said...

I grew up there. My husband graduated from Shippensburg University and I'm very familiar with Greencastle. I actually worked at The Butcher Shoppe during college and that's where I met my husband.

Mema Jo said...

I wish Lib & Belle had wing blings!

paula eagleholic said...

That would be NBG

Norfolk Botannical Gardens, Norfolk Va

http://www.wvec.com/cams/eagle.html

paula eagleholic said...

Yup Mits - ordered more sticks and Fluff! Lib went to find some

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle is there now...

normabyrd said...

OH DANA!!---If I can do the degree sign----You can do it standing on your head!! ho!

I'm still cleaning up my email!!---

Mema Jo said...

Sandra Show Danelle where the little TRASH can is and what it can do with her repeated comment to me..
Thank you very much!

http://www.wvec.com/cams/eagle.html

is the site you want to bookmark for the Norfolk Botanical Gardens Nest.

Danelle said...

Sorry, I dont' know why it did that.

movin said...

61° here, and thanks for the tip, Mits. [:~D]

I've been copy-pasting the ° sign from a Word Pad page I have saved on my desktop.

I finally got back to sleep for a few and feel better.

Did anything exciting or new occur?

Jim


MITS said...

Hi Jim, glad you got some rest.....no worries, Danelle, you would not believe what the blooger cop does sometimes, just relax and enjoy.

Mema Jo said...

SO WINDY (and I bet it is coming up our way) at the NBG nest. I don't think it is the camera moving ...

Mema Jo said...

I keep forgetting to ask you all if you knew that the FL Tesoro eaglets were named TESS & ORO?

Danelle said...

poof!

Mema Jo said...

Danelle We will allow 2 repeats! lol There are times that the Blogger Cop makes us repeat numerous times ... Really is a joke when that happens!
The worst is when the Blogger Cop publishes out a comment late at night that you had made in the early morning. Have not figured that one out yet!!!

Danelle said...

that's funny. Sandy and I are laughing.

MITS said...

I had not heard of that, Jo, what ever floats your boat???, glad the nest isn't in Pensacola FLA, that could come out weird

MITS said...

Yeah, Jo, that was really strange when that happened, thought the blog was haunted.

SCREAMING EAGLE IN nORFOLK

movin said...

Did you get your puter back in shape, Mits? Mine's a little slow after this morning's hibernation, so I think I'll restart.

I see ZZ descending the tree, perhaps to meet with Bai Yun for lunch....

Jim

MITS said...

so far, Jim, things seem to be ok, don't know what the mouse problem was it came and went....that ZZ is a hoot

movin said...

Just saw some Zoo people enter the frame now that ZZ is on the ground...probably exam time. And then the cam switched to Gao Gao. :~D]

Jim

Mema Jo said...

Both eagles at NBG nest

MITS said...

ah, I only see 1:)

MITS said...

that one just flew the coop

Mema Jo said...

Both are gone now. The NBG nest is fairly deep like the Tesoro nest.

Mother Hummer off the nest - you can see how large the chicks are getting

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle our nest....

MITS said...

eEAGLE ALERT

paula eagleholic said...

Someone at the Hancock forum started calling the Tesoro twins Tess and Oro....and since everyone has been forum hopping...the names have gotten around....sure hope Tess is a girl and Oro is a boy....and respectively, they are for the biggest chick and littlest chick

paula eagleholic said...

VA now at Black and White

paula eagleholic said...

Still just one in our nest....waiting by the egg cup...doing a little bit of poking around...but not much.

MITS said...

MITS said...

MITS said...

MITS said...

paula eagleholic said...

Poof for Lib

MITS said...

beautiful fly in at NBG

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle just flew into VA

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like a late dinner...where are the candles :)

Mema Jo said...

With all that Poofing - doesn't look like a good night for egg laying!

Wish we had a canopy over our nest
for tonight's forecasted freezing rain

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm eagle gone...wonder if that was a fish or fluff that was brought in....

MITS said...

i WONDER IF WE WILL PLAY MUSICAL NESTS tonight at NBG...

paula eagleholic said...

Well at worst, the rain will pack that fluff down, and they'll need some more!

paula eagleholic said...

Or they'll be in there fluffing the fluff to get it dry.....

MITS said...

probably an owl trap

paula eagleholic said...

Ha Ha Mits...

See ya'll later, heading home...

Mema Jo said...

NBG total darkness - meaning with very little light!!

Mema Jo said...

I'll have dinner on the table in 10 mins.. Spaghetti with a few meatballs.. So I'll BBL...

deb said...

Buck on the deer cam.

MITS said...

I think we are getting a nightime tour of Norfolk

deb said...

Is anyone watching NBG?

deb said...

Weird, I just let the dogs in and couldn't figure out what was going on. Now I can tell.

MITS said...

think we were get a tour of the surrounding area, Deb....I saw the buck on the deer cam

MITS said...

Lady B is awake

MITS said...

we are back at the NBG NEST

deb said...

They had an egg on this date last year at NBG, but let's hope they wait for the weather to clear this year.

MITS said...

100% agree with that Deb, but Mother Nature might have her own ideas

deb said...

They turned up the light and are zooming in, but I don't see anything yet.

MITS said...

poor injured deer on cam, looks like a sore on her leg, hope it is not infected

MITS said...

actually the hole ih her leg looks like it is bullet sized

deb said...

That's the first good shot we've had of her leg. It doesn't seem to get any bigger, since we first saw her.

deb said...

Never thought of that. The back leg is not right either, I thought maybe she tangled with a car.

deb said...

Eagle at PH.

MITS said...

leg just looked swollen to me, but with this shot it looks like a sore on her leg

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hi Deb and Mits. You two seem to be holding the fort down pretty good!

I spent about an hour this evening working on the FAFSA for Andrew's financial aid for next year. It is completed and 2 weeks early!

deb said...

PH is going down around 4:55 PST until sometime Monday. They are doing some big switch on the feed. Did you read the IWS update for this week? It is pretty interesting and has quite a few little videos.

MITS said...

good for you Sharon....I'm just waiting for hubby, dinner is waiting....

MITS said...

Deb, I can barely keep up with ouR info here, just don't seem to get over to the other sites too much, but I will try to go see that one...hubby's home dinner time...BBL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

So, where did everybody go?

MITS said...

I do not know.....??????

MITS said...

there is nothing on TV but repeats...

paula eagleholic said...

NOthing but repeats for sure!

and I am not a Lost fan...

paula eagleholic said...

Hey, Mits, tell hubby I just watched the Mount crush opponent in Bball - 97 to 60

MITS said...

was it on TV, he is watching wrestling.....I'll tell hgim right now....not a lost fan either

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hey Mits, what did you cook hubby for dinner?

MITS said...

tee-hee.....I cooked steaks on the grill, salad and roasted potatoes

paula eagleholic said...

No, went to the Mount to watch it...

MITS said...

hubby has season tickets, but rarely gets a chance to go...we used to go when Kevin was there, just so we would get a chance to see him....I love going up to The Mount

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Oooohhh, that sounds good?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hey, Preaching Meteorologist, you could preach a sermon from there. :)

MITS said...

I did enough preaching when Kevin was in college....cute, sermon at "the mount"...I get it

MITS said...

lights up at NBG

deb said...

Being from the middle of the country, I have to ask, what is the Mount?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I knew you would get it!

MITS said...

Deb, we are referring to MOUNT ST. MARY'S UNIVERSITY at EMMITSBURG, MARYLAND, my hubby, son, daughter-in-law and her sisters are graduated from there, and, Paula lives nearby, so she can go to the basketball games

MITS said...

but Sharon was referring to the "sermon on the mount" , she was injecting humor into the blog:):):)

paula eagleholic said...

And I graduated from there too!

MITS said...

has anyone found out why sometimes there is a brighter light at NBG???

MITS said...

my bad, yes you did, Paula::):):)

MITS said...

Lady B is awake and spreading her tail feathers

deb said...

Got the humor from Sharon. :) Didn't know if it was a college or not.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

It feels good to be able to be humorous again!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Going to bed now.

Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feathers and fur! Hope everybody has a restful and peaceful night.

deb said...

You get some good ones in every once in awhile that make me chuckle!

MITS said...

Sharon, I'm glad you are starting to laugh again....

MITS said...

Lady B is alseep, but wings are really spread out.

MITS said...

WEATHER FOR CAMBRIDGE MARYLAND, BWE NEST:

deb said...

Thunderstorms for the first of February, is this a normal winter? I always assumed it would be cold and snowy.

MITS said...

In this area, our weather fluctuates so much it is not unusual, Deb, we have the mountains 3 hours to the west, and the ocean 3 hours to the east, so predicting weather is a challenge here. I'm talking about the Washington D.C. weather

deb said...

I have only been in DC in the summer, it was hot and humid!

I wonder if the light at NBG is motion activated??

paula eagleholic said...

And by the mountains the forecast is this...

Tonight: Mainly cloudy this evening. Then a light mix of wintry precipitation expected overnight. Low 26F with temps rising to near freezing. Winds E at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precip 90%.
Tomorrow: Windy...with rain and freezing rain in the morning...changing to all rain. A few rumbles of thunder are possible in the afternoon. Some sleet may mix in early. High 46F. Winds ESE at 15 to 25 mph.

MITS said...

yep, that is our summers, you get used to it....I never thought of it being motion-activated.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, yes, the dog days of summer...

Mema Jo said...

I am glad I went in this evening & changed my 1st egg laying date vote!!
Sure doesn't look as though anyone is coming into the egg cup tonight!

Have not seen the GHW at NBG! Good!!

Deb we have had thunderstorms in DEC but I cannot remember any in FEB during my lifetime.. CHANGES!!!

I have been AWOL or more so on a 4 hr pass..... Just been playing card games on computer - should have been paying bills!!!

Guess I missed saying Good Night to eagle eye-Sharon.. I'll say it anyway - Most bloggers say they are leaving but will Look Back One More Time...
Good Night Sharon loL

MITS said...

a little heat and humidity sounds good right now

deb said...

We have those days here, too. When you go outside and the air is so thick it is hard to breath.

MITS said...

would ya look at Lady B, that can't be comfortable..maybe she is pushing out a couple more eggs for good measure

deb said...

A little heat sounds real good right now. We are supposed to get in the 30's tomorrow, so will have to settle for that.

MITS said...

Deb, I hate wearing coats...so I would not do well in your neck of the woods

Mema Jo said...

Remember Lisa BW said that if a third was coming it should be here by the end of Saturday.

MITS said...

ok Lady B closed her wings.

paula eagleholic said...

Wow Deb a heat wave :)

MITS said...

Well, got a busy day tomorrow, so I better get ready for bed...GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE

deb said...

Most people here have more than one winter coat, heavy, not so heavy and a jacket. We have worn the heavy coat more often this year than the last 4-5 winters.

Mema Jo said...

Closing out for the evening

Good Night
Peaceful dreams & restful sleep


Good Morning all you early birds
It really is FRIDAY once again

deb said...

It will be a heat wave, Paula. Remember it was just -20 the other day. That's a 50 degree difference. Now I have to look back at how to make that symbol. It didn't work.

paula eagleholic said...

Alt and 2 4 8

°

deb said...

I tried 2, 4, and 6. No wonder it didn't work.

I will sign off, too. Night everyone. Hope the storm changes directions for you.

Costume Lady said...

Helen, we had steak on the grill also, along with salad and baked potatoes.
Cams are all quiet right now and there is no owl in Nora and Norman's nest.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT

paula eagleholic said...

Where did the names Nora and Norman come from?

I had my steak last Saturday night...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

EAGLE ALERT, OUR NEST!

Mema Jo said...

EAGLE ALERT

Mema Jo said...

Mema Jo said...

Mema Jo said...

There was a POOF

Belle is still there....Please stay

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Had to go let the dogs about but saw the second one right before it left.

Bluefield is covered in a thin layer of ice. Two tractor-trailers are jack-knifed on the main road below my house.

Mema Jo said...

We should also be getting ICE........

I was afraid Belle would leave when Lib flew out...... I SURE HOPE IT IS BELLE AND NOT LIBERTY THAT WE'RE WATCHING lol

glo said...

Oh My gosh is this the night watch? I was doing a quick BLOG read before bed.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

She is just barely moving her head somtimes. Thought the pic was frozen at first.

glo said...

well gosh I don't think this is good timing for her. Where is the tarp or what not Argh. I want her warm and dry...we know she is well fed.
