Butterfly Mama said...

The wind is "ruffling" their feathers

Costume Lady said...

Thanks, I thought it was pretty too. Did we lose Karla? Kaaaarla...!

Costume Lady said...

There you are!

Butterfly Mama said...

Lib is practicing sitting on the egg cup!

Costume Lady said...

According to Lisa, we hope to see them eating in the nest as a sign of wanting to settle in.

MITS said...

POOF

MITS said...

They have been eating in the nest Wanda....:):)

Costume Lady said...

Yes, he needs the egg cup to fit his body too.

Butterfly Mama said...

Well Mother, you have company now, so I must go on to work.

You ladies have a wonderful day!!

Costume Lady said...

Oh, Helen, I havn't seen that. I have been missing them a lot. I need to go for coffee more often or maybe I need to watch mor often. Of course, we know what their intentions are, don't we? It is fun watching them prepare, but the best is yet to come!

floralgirl said...

Well, that was a quick visit, maybe they'll be back. Boy, it is COLD outside, and the wind has not stopped gusting. 23° here, feels much colder.

Costume Lady said...

Hang in there, Karla. Love you.

MITS said...

it is a little nippy out there....

MITS said...

MAINE cam is not working looks like another white out.

Costume Lady said...

Capt. Eagle is awake. BBL

MITS said...

Hubby and I are off to Arizona for a week...business/pleasure...so everyone take good care of yourselves, I know I'm going to miss some action in our nest, but I will check with my sister during the week to find out what is going on.....BYE-BYE FOR NOW

floralgirl said...

Sounds great Helen. Have a wonderful time! Happy anniversary to Wanda and Gene!

floralgirl said...

Right now there is a red bellied woodpecker snacking on an apple core outside my window. Remember, this time of year, put out your banana peels, or overripe bananas, apples, and oranges for the birds. Many birds will feed on these, especially mockingbirds.

Lib moving sticks, Belle still eating

paula eagleholic said...

Lib up on his perch now

Mema Jo said...

Beautiful white tail feathers on our Belle... Lib will get the left overs I guess - if there are any....

Mema Jo said...

Lib went poof!

Belle still eating.

paula eagleholic said...

Cam froze for about 2 minutes...now Lib gone, Belle still eating.

paula eagleholic said...

Doesn't look like there will be any leftovers, Jo!

Mema Jo said...

Maybe Lib went to get some of his own!

I think I missed something at the nest......Did Belle leave & is that Lib now?

Mema Jo said...

Lib can't seem to make up his mind as to staying up on his perch or jumping down into the nest.........

paula eagleholic said...

No - I think Belle went up to Lib's perch - looks like cleaning beak now.

Mema Jo said...

I'm going to miss his decision...
Need to get going - let me know what he does.... lol

Suzanne said...

Good morning, world. Bit late this morning! We have access cards for our computers, and our network folks in their infinate wisdom disabled mine! It expires 28 Jan, but hey, they thought they'd do it a month early! Grrrrrrrrrr!
Happy New Year everybody! Hope everyone had a wonderful safe New Year!
No idea what's going on, have our cam and Bai and Precious up, that's about it. See Bai has Precious on her shelf, where Bai used to sleep when she was very preggers. Precious was sleeping and she just looks so big! Bai came in and hugged her, now Bai thinks she wants to sleep. Yeah, that's gonna happen now that she woke the baby!
Will have to glance back and see what I missed. All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Suzanne said...

Mits, have a safe trip, and talk to you when you get back.! LOVE your panda pic, that's adorable! And Wanda Happy Anniversary to you and Capt Eagle! Love your Ice Palace, that's beautiful. All these fancy avatars! Wow.

Suzanne said...

Precious has climbed ontop of Bai and is biting her head and face. She's also rubbing against mom, how cute! Guess she wants to play, and mom wants to sleep. Bai has her blocked, so she can't get down without climbing over Bai.

Suzanne said...

OH, Squigs is trying to get down! She's climbing down the tree trunk backwards. Or not...

Mema Jo said...

I am back - decided it is too cold for me to head out-of-doors when I have a choice not to.
ButaButa is nursing in the hammock. LunLun putting up with her....

Mema Jo said...

Moosewatch cam is up & running.
Suzanne - we all thought you had snow in your area of PA & took the day off! Sharon is getting her share of the snow. The streets on her cam are still messy.

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Jo, do stay in it is something like 11° with the wind chill factor. You certainly don't need to catch a cold while your body is still healing itself.

SUZ...thought you were at home with a hot cup of coffee and a good book. SORRY.

Suzanne said...

Well, kids, I came in late, and everyone is already gone.
So I'll join you.
Hopefully, blog tomorrow.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Costume Lady said...

MISS NORMA...
We enjoyed meeting your 3 beautiful grandchildren and was a wonderful surprise to see you. We really enjoyed our movies.

Suzanne said...

Oops, HiJo, Hi Wanda. I just opened the PA CAM! That was a surprise! I wasn't expecting snow today, but didn't listen to the weather last night.

Suzanne said...

Later, gaters!

Costume Lady said...

Suz is like CANDY today; pop in, pop out!

Chrissy Beahan said...

Goodevening all,,
Hope you are all enjoying this fine and cold day.

Absolutely freezing here, supposed to snow tomorrow, or so the weather people say,,,,,but then,,,do they ever get it right???

Have you all got over all the revelings of New Year,, are you all on a detox yet ????

If your half as sick of the sight of food as I am, that will be an easy task.

Hope your all ok.

Chrissy Beahan said...

Hi Wanda,

You will enjoy it all the more when you can see it pet.

I'm watching as you call her ZZ,,, we callher Betty, as in BETTY BOOP,, cos she is black and white like the old cartoons.

She is playing mummy up at the moment, pretending to be a big girl and copying everything that Bai does,Bless her, now the little minx is trying to bite mummies feet. you gotta love her.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Right after the National Anthem was sang at the Fiesta Bowl (where WVU is playing), they had a beautiful BALD EAGLE fly through the stadium. That was absolutely breathtaking!

Sunny said...

Hello Early Birds!

Mema Jo said...

**before I go in to bed, DEB - I like your snowman BUT what does the sign say?

deb said...

It says North Pole, I am still trying to figure out how to get it to shake like it is supposed to. :(

Mema Jo said...

Well since I have never had the old Sycamore Nest Tree shaking - I can't be of any help... Good Luck - I'll check it out tomorrow..
Night!

deb said...

Night, I won't be home in the morning, so will try later tomorrow.

Mema Jo said...

Oh my goodness -

WV 41

Yeaaaaaaah!!!

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, ALL/HOPE YOUR NEW YEAR IS GOING ALRIGHT SO FAR. [;=)}

Good morning to Suzanne and the early crew.

Jim

Suzanne said...

Good morning, world. Beautiful night, gazillions of stars, but bitter cold! 17° at home, 21° here, but no wind, so that's something. Very bright orange quarter moon, low on the horizon. Neat to see.
No cams open, and will have to go see what I missed yesterday... all day, but card is working today.
All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Suzanne said...

Wow, Jim, just noticed the time on your last post! RU still up?

movin said...

Matter of fact I am, Suz. I didn't know you would be in so early though, or I would have been watching the blog closer.

I crashed early last night, got up to do my duties near midnight, been doing some fun stuff on the computer since, and now I'm thinking about racking out again.

It IS COLD in your area, but I checked my uncle's place in Iowa a couple of nights ago ... with wind chill it was like -15 deg. They're all too cold for what we dress for and what we're used to out here.

Jim

movin said...

I hope you have a very productive day and make it home in generally recognizable, thawed condition.

Jim

movin said...

Hahaha...didn't intend the blue with underline.

Jim

Suzanne said...

Oops, sorry, Jim, I asked if you were here, and you were, but I was doing something else.
Yes, it's cold, but we are usually prepared for it. Jan and Feb are the worst months of the year out here. Snow, sleet, and cold. But not as cold as your uncle's place! Thankfully!!

Deer in PA.

movin said...

How you doin, Suz. I accidentally shut down the blog during prep to go back to bed, but I decided to take one more look...

Have you been beeping the horn at the deer on your way in to DC?

Jim

Suzanne said...

Jim, believe it or not for the last 2 weeks, haven't seen very many deer at all! Totally unusual! Either hunting season was very successful this year, or the deer don't know hunting season is over are still laying low. Same for coons, skunks and foxes. Not too many wildlife lately. Do have big birds that sorta fly right in front of me, scares me to death cause I'm watching the road! And poof, surprise. But then they're gone, and after about 15 miles or so, I'm calm again!
PA cam is messing up again. One minute has the right time, next sec it is old time. Least on the old time the deer is still there.

movin said...

Your deer have probably just moved their operations away from the roadway, which doesn't have as much growth as some protected fields ... or the feed that a hay field might offer.

I'm sure the hunting wasn't quite that successful (or disastrous). The idea of a hunting season is to thin out the herds and make them more healthy and able to find food. And of course there are people who still need the meat from hunting to feed their families ... at least partially.

I've read somewhere that there are actually more deer in America now than there were when white man first arrived.

Well, Suz, I think I'll call it a night now... Have a good one.

Jim

Suzanne said...

I don't think it was that good either, for the hunters. Can't be good for the deer!

Good night, Jim, Sleep tight! Hope you can get back to sleep!!

Suzanne said...

Tai's up and pacing. Parent(s) still asleep.

Suzanne said...

NZ parent up and pacing now, too.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SUZ...
I see Jim is at it again. Hope he soon gets a better sleep pattern,
It is 20° here and wind chill factor makes it feel like 11°. It's only going up to 30°.

Suzanne said...

Good morning, Wanda. Brrrr! Guess it's that time of year, tho. Haven't seen our kids yet this morning.

floralgirl said...

My thermometer says 13°, and I believe all the missing deer are hiding in my yard....too many....

Suzanne said...

LOL, morning, Megan! Send them back to PA, there was only 1 there this morning! And it was on cam. Can't seem to find the one's that hang out by the road. Course that's probably good, less to get hit.

Costume Lady said...

We watched the WVU football game last night and didn't get to sleep til around 1am....slept in this morning.

Suzanne said...

Maine cam still covered in snow, and it's snowing again on the PA cam. I'm not getting it though, so for that, I'm very glad!

Suzanne said...

Wanda, who won? Norma's EEEEEERRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSS?

Costume Lady said...

Megan, you need a cam like the one in Pa. Might surprize you what all is out there.

Suzanne said...

Think the NZ pandas want out, but Tai just went in a little pool and sat down.

Costume Lady said...

WVU..48
OK...28

Costume Lady said...

I thought it was an excellent game. It would have to be to keep me awake past midnight. I don't stay up that late for anything! I fall asleep standing up.

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

Good Morning Good Friends;

It is still COLD I put a photo of
the swans on our lake.I am having
trouble With my computer so i will
post more later,sorry

Dave

Suzanne said...

OH, Norma will be a happy camper!!!

Suzanne said...

Tai is dragging a long piece of bamboo around.

Suzanne said...

Good morning, Dave! Welcome back! And Happy New Year to you. I haven't been on for a while... sorta. I'll have to go check out your new photos.

EAGLE ALERT!!@! BOTH

Costume Lady said...

wvgal_dana said...

Suzanne said...

Both working on egg cup. Together! go figure.

Costume Lady said...

They are both examining the egg cup.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Dana. Nice to see our kids.

Costume Lady said...

Belle is satisfied with the cup, but Lib is still checking it out.

Suzanne said...

3 fat squirrels in PA.

Costume Lady said...

Costume Lady said...

Suzanne said...

And poof, MT nest.

Costume Lady said...

Well, that was short and sweet.

Dana, if you are still there; I am trying to get those instruction to you. I scanned them, but couldn't get them emailed. I will try again this morning.

Suzanne said...

Eagle pair at BWO!

Suzanne said...

One in nest arrived first and brough sushi for breakfast. One on the edge arrived next refresh. Maybe wants to share breakfast...

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Suzanne, Jim, Wanda, Megan, Dave and Watchers.

Great I had the nest up and reading comments. Got to see this am's visit. Was short though. Better than no show ( :

Sorry didn't answer you Wanda right away. Was into my blog.

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda that would be nice if you can get it to email. ty

Mess in BWE nest (leftovers wing)

wvgal_dana said...

Suzanne would you have any idea why my sister-in-law has a 10 second delay at Pete's Pond. The birds walk then it stops for 10 seconds then they walk same thing over and over again.??

Suzanne said...

No idea, Dana, I can't get Pete's Pond. Maybe it's the refresh rate of 10 seconds.

Suzanne said...

Very windy in Tesoro, and lots of doves and a squirrel in PA.

Suzanne said...

Man, that fish didn't last long in BWO. Fish all gone, eagle(s) all gone.

wvgal_dana said...

No it moves ok for me..hummm

If anyone comes in an has any idea how I can help her with Pete's Pond please let me know. ty

Suzanne said...

Tai is hiding under a table with a ton of bamboo in front of him. Too funny. He walked over the table a while ago.

Suzanne said...

Never mind, he crawled out and is not pacing again.

Suzanne said...

DIVERS WAIVING!!!

glo said...

Good morning everyone. I have fun plans for my day. I do have to make myself go to the bank and the grocery store in my out and abouts though. First off to coffee and dog treats.
