MORNIN' MEGAN---That's terrible!! Is that where you live?---FIRES are so scary---especially during winter---water freezes!!---
Did you see the latest at Norfolk?? original pair was at the nest this morning, working on nest
That's good news Megan; maybe Norman has discovered the grass isn't greener on the other side of the nest!
MEGAN!! I feel I have been doing a MONOLOGUE here this a.m.!!
NORMA-actually, you wouldn't believe it. But when I got home, my husband surprised me with a cake! :)
It's about 20 minutes away, Norma, daughter goes to school in that town. They have been having difficulty getting it under control. This mornings visit to the Norfolk nest by original pair. http://www.hostingphpbb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1937&mforum=raptors#1937
We saw 6 or 7 firetrucks and a "Herd" of firefighters near the 7-11 on Shepherdstown Rd. last evening when we came home. Haven't seen the paper yet this morning, so I don't know what it was. I guess I need to go check it out.
Danelle, what kind of cake and icing?
They say the fire has spread down main street, to aat least 4 buildings, they are all connected, including the library and town hall.
MORNIN' AGAIN WANDA!!---That's WONDERFUL NEWS MEGAN!!-----Over on LISA'S SITE---She says 'EAGLES mate for life--WILL DIVORCE--if they have not been productive as a couple----or an EAGLE is driven away by an AGGRESSIVE BIRD!'--That's the jest of what she said!!-----She also has pics taken when they are mating in mid-air & are touching----TOO BEAUTIFUL FOR WORDS!!---
Wow Megan - hadn't heard the latest...that's terrible...
AWWWWW!---DANELLE---That's hard to believe!!---Did you tell him there is a whole "herd" of women wanting to marry a man that bakes a cake for them!!!----TOO FUNNY!
Danelle, I'll bet he grills also. He sounds like a Jewel. Hold on tight to him!
Now wait a minute..a husband baked a cake or bought a cake? I need clarification please.
WHOA MEGAN!!---I can't comprehend that----Sounds like a large part of your town will be gone!!---That is going to be hard to endure!!
Good Morning - I said that earlier & then realized I was on the wrong thread. I had left the pc on all night so that I could quickly check out the nest If I got up.
Megan - the new library in Boonsboro is up & running - right? Meaning maybe the downtown one was vacant.
Here is the Youtube video of Mom & Dad in the Norfolk nest.. Any audio was nor intentionally picked up from Maine ...
Original Mom/Dad at NBG Nest 2/22
From Maine forum by CCB Researcher....(I think he is a zoomer or NBG person)
The original pair are back together!! This is not as was noted on the blog the new female (known by some as 'that other woman'). It is raining here this morning making the head feathers appear dark. This is the original pairing. Love appears to have rebloomed at Norfolk Botanical Garden. Time will tell.
Eagle at VA!!
JO, the new library has not opened yet.
eagle at NBG
So I wonder if the homewrecker flew the coop?
After all this 'Mother Nature foolishness', I feel remorse that the 2 eggs are past history. However,
IT IS WHAT IT IS
Right Mits?
Keep your ears opened to see if the biologist feel another clutch could be from this original pair. That's a lot of work for Mom! Thanks vatray for the heads up about the info coming out on the eggs.
OH MEGAN Now that is sad news! The new library building looked finished when I passed it last time.
Keep us updated as you find out things. Boosnboro is like Main Street USA - everything is right there. Oops! I bet Suzanne's hair shop is in that area.
I looked at your town cam last night & didn't think I saw snow, Sharon. One way to tell is how fast the traffic is going - like zoom there went another one! lol
Both at our nest again...looks like Lib has been checking up on Belle this morning...second check in I have seen
both birds, our nest
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE...
Its a beautiful morning with light rain at 52° in "sunny" So Cal...
[:~)]
Jim
Herald-mail.com has a couple of pictures. Place Suzanne goes is on other side of street.
Good Morning Everyone here and Watchers ( :
I didn't want to try naming I know I would miss someone.
I think Liberty brought something in to eat for Belle.
Yes, Paula, and I think it was Liberty on the eggs when I checked the cam in mid night here...about 6 a.m. there.
[:~)]
Jim
Yes Paula on the Maine Forum under Norfolk B.G. the researcher has clarified for those writing about Norfolk. The pair that has been in and around the new nest is the original resident female and male.
PAULA-!!!--MEGAN saw the originals earlier the a.m. & has pic---but I couldn't bring it up!!---IF YOU READ EARLIER---VARTRAY & I both watched this 'SASSY BUSHY-TAIL SQUIRREL'---weave his way around the nest---THEN this BRAVE SOUL climbed up to the top & went down in!!---WISH we had a pic!----SO VERY COOL!!
Hi Dana There is a link to the video at 10:50 comment It is beautiful to see them there.
BOONSBORO, MD - A fire that damaged seven buildings in Boonsboro Friday morning, including town hall, started in an historic building owned by romance writer Nora Roberts, firefighters say.
The fire started around 8 a.m. at the corner of St. Paul and N. Main. Roberts' was planning to turn the building into a bed-and-breakfast, residents say.
Roberts is not believed to be in town, but her husband, who runs her bookstore, says he is devastated.
The fire quickly spread to seven neighboring buildings. Town officials scrambled to remove historical and public documents from Town Hall.
Firefighters do not think anyone was injured in the fire, but they are still searching the damage.
Firefighters reported the fire under control at 10:51 a.m.
LISA also has a nice write up of the NORFOLK EAGLES too!----BEAUTIFUL--BEAUTIFUL pics of EAGLES doing the mating dance in mid-air!!!---AWESOME!!!---HONESTLY!!
Photos from others of our Nest
Goodness, what an exciting morning again! Just proves "you never know"
Lots of good things happening in the Eagle world so we must keep the faith!
Sorry to hear about the fire in Boonsboro. Hope they soon have it under control.
PAULA----JIM & DANA told me that her name was DH---"DIRTY HEAD"!
Guess I shall open emails & see what's new!
Pics and video here of Boonsboro - video takes forever to view...
your4state.com
I love driving thru Boonesboro......:(:(:( sisters just left, going to miss them.
When they ZOOM IN on VA NEST---Watch for the squirrel that is down in the bottom of the nest!!
Norma, I just looked at Lisa's info, and it's a little behind the latest news.
I wonder if the Norfolk experts know if Mom drove the intruder out, or if she just wandered off...perhaps to Disney World with some other teens.
I hope Mom and Dad are back together permanently and they are better able to defend against takeover attempts.....
Seeing them together today, I convinced definitely that it was Dad at the nest yesterday morning.
[:~)]
Jim
I have only been in BOONSBORO once---back in the 80s LISA & FRIENDS took their MOTHERS there to eat lunch!!---Can't remember the name of the restaurant--food was very good!!---
NOT the reading on VA JIM!---The photos, etc. & other tid-bits!----Did you see the mating-in-air photo & a few others!!!
That is a big squirrel at Norfolk, but I think George might be bigger...definitely fatter.
[:~)]
Jim
HELEN---I bet you will miss your sisters----not talking about the food--ho!--but the companionship!!-----THAT'S THE BEST THING IN THIS WORLD!!!!----you might miss the cooking some!! ho!---DON'T YOU OVER DO!!!----ya hear now?
JIM---QUIT STEALING MY THUNDER!!---or I will send WANDA or JO-----ho!-----THEY CARRY CANES!!!!
yes, Norma, I will miss them, hubby is supposed to be back in town late tonight....I definitely will not over-do, have at least 4 to 6 weeks more of recuperating til things get back to normal.
squirrel is back at NBG
OREGON NEST has less SNOW that yesterday----It's getting there!!
Yes, take it easy Mits, so you'll be ready for our next nest visit get together. Norma, stop threatening Jim with the cane...
COOL JIM!---Did you read LISA'S EXPLANATION of why EAGLES DIVORCE?
I found that most interesting---!!
It's ok Megan - my cane is in my corner next to my computer.....
Don't know where Wanda & Iris have theirs'. I know Norma can fight her own battles - BUT we are there if she needs us!
Paula - Boonsboro coverage with those pics really shows it all. Thanks for finding them for us to see.
TIme for me to dejoin the PJ breakfast club
BBL
He keeps telling me I am repeating stuff he already knew!!!-----MY KIDS DO THAT all the time!! ho! ho!
Good morning, everyone. Megan, that fire is awful, I hope they contain it soon. Mits, take care, know you will miss your sisters. Norma, I won't ever question you, if it means the cane!! The weather doesn't look too bad yet, let's hope that holds out.
MEGAN---I just saw the pics on Ch. 7----That is so very sad---Hope that can be rebuilt!!!---That is so devastating!!! I am sure it looks worse to you all!!
MORNIN' DEB!!---I enjoy teasing COOL JIM---but he usually wins! ho!---You must have had an exciting day yesterday!!---So much to see!!
It looks really bad, Norma. Hotel on corner where it started is destroyed. It was under construction, very old building they were trying to fix up.
Hi Deb - our nest looks beautiful compared to what I thought it was going to look like! Hoping the freezing rain/ice won't be so severe.
Did you get your Moon shots up yet?
On the NBG site - they do have 10 pics on the newest slideshow. "Original pair together again"
Now all we need is for it to stay that way & get through Maine's soap opera! I am so thankful that the behavior missed our WV nest & hope that Barton's Cove doesn't contact it!
Yes, Norma, it was fun to see the birds so close up. The gyrfalcon was beautiful, I had never seen one before, the screech owl was cute. Of course the black vulture was ugly, but the way it hops around, you had to like it. The finale was the eagle and it was so nice to be that close to it. I am just now looking at my pictures.
Hey everyone. Just thought I would check in before venturing outside to see if there is any ice removal to be done. Cars are driving by and Joey's car has a little snow on it so I am hoping it isn't bad.
How awful about Boonsboro? I saw it in the Herald Mail and NBC25.
Hope everybody is staying warm. I am going out to see what needs to be done. YIPPEE
MITS
If you have finished your lunch - it is time for your panda nap!
Your sisters may be gone - BUT your buddies are here to take care of you!! ((Hugs))
I loaded my moon shots, but that is about it. I didn't have time to do anything with them yesterday. I will get to them sometime. Right now, though, I want to do the Eagle Awareness Day shots.
haven't done lunch yet, Jo, but will eat around 1, and then a panda lie down for awile, afraid if I nap will not sleep tonight, sister just called they are back in Baltimore, said it was sleeting the whole way going north, and they have more ice there than here.
eagle up in our nest
stretching wing
The article from the Herald-Mail give a lot of details. Sorry if someboyd already posted it. It is too long to post the whole thing here. Here is the link www.herald-mail.com
I keep my Eagle Cane in the Motor Home to keep away Evil Spirits. Gene finished it with something that will protect it and made it pretty. That's one of my prized posessions.
The building that was destroyed in Boonboro, belongs to the Author, Nora Roberts. I got a few of her books at a Thrift Store for my mother and she says "That woman has a dirty mind!". LOL
DEB--I cheated!---I googled the GYRFALCON----You should post your pics!!---You hadn't seen one had you!!---What kinds of FOODS did they have!!!
WANDA---I used to read some of her books----I think she writes mysteries!!!
Wanda if your mother said Nora Roberts "has a dirty mind". Then Nora Roberts must be a code name for a man lol
WHAT IS ON BWO NEST????????
IS THAT AN OSPREY AT BWO?????
We always knew it as the old Boone hotel or saloon, apparently when it first opened in the 1700's it was called the Eagle Hotel.
Looks like some type of hawk, MIts maybe.. Dana, good one...
think you are correct Megan....we have been watching two differnt types of hawks in my backyard the last 2 weeks,.
Picture is so blurry, hard to tell exactly what kind, but looks like a hawk to me.
they have dropped our WINTER STORM WATCH to an ADVISORY now til 10:p.m.
I took a little "panda nap"...
Quick, check ZZ in the tree in close-up.
[:~)]
Jim
COSTUME LADY AND NORMA-My husband is a jewel. Actually, he does most of the cooking. He just loves to do it, and I don't mind! :) The cake was a 2 layer white cake with icing on top. I'm not a very fancy cake eater. After all, I only eat it for the icing! :)
Snowing at Maine
I did check the Maine site, and apparently they haven't seen any intruders this morning...
Belle is looking in very good condition with the snow... no danger here.
Good, clear pictures at Kent.. no eagles and no view of the nest itself! I hope they get that cam #3 fixed and focused on the action area soon.
[:~)]
Jim
Tesoro banding at 6 weeks...should be next week!
Maybe that's a harrier at BWO?
They also have some squirrel pics up at VA :)
Bai and ZZ ... could be nursing the baby.
[:~)]
Jim
There's a blurry sighting of a hummingbird chick behind the nest (to the left a little)
[:~)]
Jim
Looks like a large owl at BWO??
[:~)]
Jim
Norma, I am working on my pictures now. It is taking me longer, because this is different than how I did it on my other computer. They had mice, rats and a quail to feed the birds. The gyrfalcon got the quail.
Hi, Megan, BWO does look more like a hawk now that I see its profile, but I'm not sure what kind yet.
[:~)]
Jim
Visitor on BWO platform took off.
I think he knew we were about to ID him! lol
In my bird book my two votes were going to be for Northern Harrier or Broad-winged hawk, but don't know if you have broad-winged hawks there.
raptor expert says red tail hawk, I asked him to look.
Broad-winged hawks winter down south, so probably not that.
Good morning everyone, nice to see the Original pair back together, shame on the eggs but it is what it is, maybe they will have a new clutch.
Mits glad to see you here, hope you are doing well.
Megan nice shot of the eclipsed moon, wasn't that a a sight. We are in times of discovering our true self, what we have been working for the past few years will reflect on who we have become. Moving away from the past and bringing new beginnings.
It didn't look anything like the one last night, but there are so many different versions of them that I am sure he is right. Mystery solved. I am sure that Lisa will post something, too.
Have you seen this website? It's very interesting. Raptorman forum
Hey Robyn, good to see you here:) Eclipse was beautiful to watch.
THANKS PAULA!!---That must of have been taken this a.m.----Isn't he a "COOL LITTLE DEVIL"---ho!!----Sat right inside the nest!!!--I first thought it was a little bird!!
Both eagles in nest at Maine with it snowing
One just flew out of nest at Maine other on limb
BBILW I need food
MEGAN---Did you read the latest note from DANELLE----"HER HUSBAND BAKED THE CAKE!!!
BOy, snow is really coming down there, Dana.
HEY ROBYN!!---We have missed you--I thought the ECLIPSE was so exciting!!----Just AWESOME!!
Yep Norma, saw it...unbelievable..envious of hubby that can cook.. probably best that my hubby just stays out of the kitchen tho.
Yes it is Megan and the one eagle is still sitting on that limb.
ME NEST is AWESOME-- with the snow flying & the wind blowing!!---Those MAINE EAGLES really have rough weather most of the time!!
Wasn't it Norma? I really enjoyed that the weather was kind to us with clearing the skies so we could witness it since there wont be another till 2010.
Is there going to be a trip to the nest this spring? I am looking forward to seeing everyone before we move this summer.
Thanks JIM---When I first looked in---I thought she looked like a bald headed man!!!----Oh no!---'BIG BUTTE'-- Wish they could get some light!!!
That article is interesting Megan. The Herald said Town Hall and the Library weren't involved. I wonder which is true. I certainly hope the Herald Mail is right for the sake of the town of Boonsboro. Guess we will have to wait and see.
ROBYN---I agree---I hope we can get together too!!----Always such FUN!!!
PLEASE, PLEASE wait til we get back from our trip. I will bring a Peanut butter cake baked by my Mom!
Wanda we couldn't have a get together without you and the Capt. That would mean no Poop Shooters LOL. I think April or May would be good. Still too unpredictable in March.
FOR PEANUT BUTTER CAKE!!!!----WANDA---you can name the date!! ho!
Did somebody say CAKE!!! :)
April or May works best for us too. March is such a busy month, and it statrs with Tori turning 14 on the 1st, I can't believe she is officially taller then me at almost 5'7.
I vote for MAY - we will be back in PA by then...if the creek don't rise!
Wanda, ask Gene what he put on your cane...I'll ask Dean to do mine for me. The wood is a bit soft and looks like it needs some protection.
Glad to hear the storm is bypassing our nest! Great news.
well, I think I am going to head home. Panda nap sounds good....and maybe a piece of cake too! ;)
Have a nice weekend, Danelle
Thanks MITS!
They seem to be getting rained on at BW. Female is tenting on BWE and the male is looking miserable trying to hang on to the BWO nest...
Actually, our eagles (Lib now?) look like they're tenting a little too.
[:~)]
Jim
The squirrel at VA is on a major limb next to the nest scratching and grooming himself. If he gets unlucky, he could be feeding eagles soon.
[:~)]
Jim
Guess I'd better shut this down for a while and concentrate on the more mundane...
[:~)]
Jim
For those who are interested the Herald Mail now has a slideshow of pictures from the fire. A couple are of Nora Roberts husband.
www.herald-mail.com
NBC25 has interviews with Nora Robers' son and husband also.
Everybody must be taking a Panda nap.
Steve has a new thread with an experts view on the fighting/mate stealing among local eagles.
Like Jill said NEW THREAD
I'm new to this site. I've located the nest on the map of the campus. My question is.... Are we allowed in the campus to look at the nest or are we stuck on the outside to watch on the web cam? Is there any way to catch a glimpse from the C & O Canal on the MD side? It's a short walk for me.
