I'm usually ahead of the rush going home, but tonight I'm gonna be right in the middle of it. We're supposed to get flurries tonight, but not sure what time it's starting. But I have my go juice here in the office with me, and will take my time going home. I hope. I do want to be home by 8 tonight, want to see Lemur Kingdom. Love those guys!
Good morning, Harbingerdc! So far so good.
Norma, they leave tomorrow, don't they? I hope they have an absolute blast on their trip!!! Gonna try and set up an album for them on my PC for Lib and Belle pics for when they get back. Kids will be growing up by then!

Both eagles in NBG nest, might be eating.
MORNIN' DANA!!---Hope you are feeling better this a.m.---The SUN is shining on all of the nests--have you noticed?
oops, just the female now, she is eating something.
Megan Sadie Hawkins Day was for the "unmarried". Norma do I remember that right??? The women would chase after the guy. Something was on tv later years. I use to watch and get a kick out of.
The OREGON NEST site is "BLACK"!!

See ya'll Monday.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Megan we know you are sticking with the guy you got. I mean "you already have him trained". No one wants to have to train another lol Gal your the most of the mostest (not hostess). The guy you got knows "he is a lucky son of a gun" wink hee hee
Don't forget, BW eagle may have egg hatch today or tomorrow.
eagle up in MAINE
I wonder if the BWE eagle knows it is leap year????
NO LAUGHING, NO TALKING, NO HAVING FUN!!!!! :):):)
Good Morning Norma, Suzanne, HDC, Sharon, Vicky, Megan, Helen and Dana, Nice to see you all this morning... what have I missed so far?
Guess I better get some cams up and read for a while. bbs
Was that the blogger cop working this morning?? Nasty fellow isn't he?
BEAUTIFUL PINK FLAMINGOS are almost dancing this morning!!---The black & white DUCKS are taking over the pool!!-----SO FUNNY TO WATCH THEM SWIM SO FAST!!!!
Wow Megan I re-read my comment. That wasn't suppose to mean that your not a "wonderful hostess too". You are I am sure of that. Why because of who you are. ( :
You all know sometimes my spelling is not so hot. Well is I start spelling things like rczuz then you know the "word verification" has gotten me lol I really don't mind it....
What's next Sharon, assigned seats??
OOOOH SHARON!!---WE still have the rest of the day to 'look 'em over'!!---REALLY KIDDIN'!!!
LOL....MEGAN!!
Assigned seats is a really good idea! :)
Laughing is so good for me. Really love it when I get into those belly laughs that make me tear up and cramp!
Divers!
I request a seat in the back of the room please..
I'm with you, Megan, then we can goof off:):)
Right, Mits, but ole eagle eye will probably still be able to see us...
WITHOUT A DOUBT!! ROLFMAO!
she will probably have a cane to smack us silly:)
DEB----DARN--DARN---MISSED them again!!---How many? Did they wave?
Daddy was always fond of using the razor strop on the boys!
KENT CAM is up----Do I see sticks from a nest being built???? OR AM I DREAMING!!----Did you folks notice?
Good Morning, everyone. It is 34 here today, supposed to get up to 42, I think we will beat that. Norma, there were about 8 divers this morning. None waved while I was watching.
LISA has a AWESOME picture of the CO EGG!!!
egg turning BC
You can see the egg at BC!
DEB---Thanks for the info!!---maybe next time!!---Have you seen the pic LISA has of the CO EGG & 2 EAGLES!!---She gets neat pics!!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! It's great to open my eyes to sunshine & our eagle incubating our 3 eaglets to be!
Going to go read & catch up - but as I glanced thru the comments, what's with the "no crying" zone & the "assigned seats"? lol
Morning, all.
Did you know Barton's Cove has an egg!!
hey Jo, think we are getting goofy here, its those @#$% letters
DEB---We now have 30°---This cannot last!!---When WV is colder than SD!!!!---ENJOY THE HEAT WAVE!
Check out the new items on the Kent drop down
yes, we do, Paula
And welcome back HarbingerDC. Good to see you posting again
Thanks Paula - going over to take a look-see now. They were sorta suspicious acting yesterday - I hope their tree holds up this year! I love that heart shaped nest but that tree is losing its roots!
MITS - that's a good excuse - I think I'll stick with it!
there is a big old heron in the nest at Wild Watch cams,,,can't wait to see the eagle at Lake Washington
Yup, just read back....awesome, more eaglets on the way :)
Anyone else having problems with Tesoro this morning?
I haven't been able to get Tesoro to open ..no pic on cam, screen.
Jo, are there direct links so you can open Lake Washington like the one you gave me for Kent? That Lake Washington nest is awesome!
no Tesoro here, just keeps saying connecting to the media
Oh boy I'm glad someone told me: there is an egg at BC
I think I just spelt oink lol
Eagle at BWO
Eagle on love branch at VA
Norma That is an eagle's nest at Lake Washington on the WildWatch Cams that you see. I thought the same thing as you when I saw it!! Cam 3 at Kent should be the next one up & running - then we will be able to see down into the nest
Mits, that is a big heron. That will be fun to watch, too.
I know Deb, I love herons
Mits, wasn't that a heron we saw down in the boone docks at Shepherdstown?
I take it the Heron is on eggs.
yes, it was, Sharon
sure does look like it, Paula
Anyone else notice how alert our eagle looks?
DEB I don't know of any direct link to Washington nest.. I will look for a home page..
WildWatch has 2 different barn owls to watch. I prefer Ms Owl with her 6 eggs.
Deb - are you saying that with BC when First Light cam times out - just do the F5 refresh & it should come back up?
I keep feeling that after I type my letters for the word verification that & click on Publish - that it's like waiting to see if you won a prize!! lol
Hate these v's & w's side by side!
Somebody's playing with my eyes! Just wait until I get my new expensive lens! lol
FWS is down again for me...was trying to refresh to check on eagle...
there are 2 herons there, 1 in nest and the other on the branch
that would be on cam 2
2 Herons now...
Jo, I just hit the "play" button again for BC
My cam is down, too.
Jo, I don't have to do anything to BC after I open it. I think it is because on a Mac, I have to watch most of the live cams in Quicktime. I don't know how it works, I click and the computer does it. Paula had a link for WMP that should work for you.
Ok, I figure it out for Wildwatch, just keep opening the link Jo gave the other day in a new page and you can watch them all.
OUr cam is back now
2 eggs visible at BW
Something is interesting our eagle
Really moving head around to follow something...
I tried Paula's link and it didn't work for me....check out #3 Heron cam, it looks like several nest and several heron sitting nearby
and now...not-these letters slow me down...and I have so many screens open, I got lost among them. umlcvzrz!!!!
maybe watching a tennis match:).
egg turning our nest
Ok my BC is on WMP.. I'm ok!
Yep my cam went down but it is now up/running.
Egg Roll Time
Mits - the WMP link for BC didn't work for you? Did you cut and pasted it into your WMP? I just opened it....
http://eagles.firstlightpower.com/
eagles/live/eagleslive_100.asx
Cut and paste, all on one line into "open url"
yeah did that, Paula, for some reason having problems with WMP and real player....?
but the f5 refresh works great:)
Good morning everyone! I'm here to catch up for a few minutes, then I leave for a dentist appointment, and then I'm heading to Shepherdstown for the weekend. I'll be dining at the Rumsey Tavern tomorrow nigh, although it won't be as much fun without all of you! I'm sure I'll miss the first hatching at BWE, so take good notes. Hugs and prayers to everyone!!
MITS check the link I sent you by email.
Eagle at the Lake Washington nest.
Those herons don't really look like our blue herons - do they?
I hope that tree isn't going to be in the way!
Both our nest
@#*#@*, *$@#@#%& lost cam pic...
Eating, our nest, can see one of the eggs.
By the time I got the Washington nest open the eagle was gone......
Link to New Home Page
WildWatch Cams
I should have taken a picture, but there is so much to watch today. The heron is up and both are there. I am looking for eggs.
yeah, Jo totally look different then our herons here
ONG did you see those beautiful wings in our nest?
2 heron in WA
Eggs are alone and Lib and Belle looked like they were on a mission. Now it looks like Lib is back.
Anyone see any eggs at the Heron nest?
We'll be thinking about you Sunny!
Enjoy your weekend in Shepherdstown!
WHOA! All eyes on our nest.
What do you think is bothering
our eagles?
Tesoro cam is working now.
Hopefully, it is not glock time!
gotta go pea-pod is here...
Looks OK our nest...
I didn't see any eggs in the heron nest...
Anyone feel like you are typing German or Swedish or Russian when you are putting in your word verification :)
I say we just ignore the blasted spammers and get rid of the WV:)
I know that I celebrate when it is only 5 letters instead of 8! I didn't see any eggs either, Paula. On the Wildwatch page, it talks about them just getting back to the area. They are Great Blue Herons and when I googled the image, they have a lot of different looks.
Remember that on the BWE page you have the Pop Up Cam..........
I need to get some food... brunch I guess... lol
BBL
now I get the 8 letters...
Both eagles in BC.
GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY..
I see the whole gang is here today...even Suzanne.
Am I reading the Hummingbird cam right?? It looks like another pair of eggs has been laid...he's going to move the camera this weekend.
Boy, that Channel Island variety is going to take over the world at this rate!
[:~)]
Jim
You know, I don't mind doing the 'type the letters' thing to beat SPAM, if I only have to do it once. But sometimes, especially if I do a "preview", I have to do it several times per comment, and I think that's way beyond the necessary program!!
[:~)]
Jim
You are reading right, Jim, wow that is a lot of eggs for one little bird. I wondered if maybe there was more than one mom, but didn't you say they are very territorial?
Hi, Deb,
I didn't say the "territorial" thing, I don't think, but I also read it recently.
Also, I don't believe a female hummer would use another's used nest, and this one has two or three she keeps rebuilding and using.
She's a family-rearing machine!!
[:~)]
Jim
Hey Jim. Saw you email, haven't had time to look at it yet but thanks. I will get to it later this afternoon.
You know, you all were talking (O)possums yesterday..
We have them out here too [according to Wikipedia, they are found coast to coast, and they were introduced to California in 1911, which is before my time].
They get big and ugly (darker colored) and vicious looking out here too.
But they are very cute when they are fairly young, and just add 'ugly' until nobody wants to look at them. And then they're dead by the age of two (in the wild)!
One of the women where I worked last used to have a pet possum, which she sometimes brought to work in one of those doggy tote bags. Of course, she kept it fairly clean and groomed, so it maintained a good appearance to the end. I think it lived to the age of 3-4 under her care.
[:~)]
Jim
Thanks, Jim, for the hummer info. Maybe it was Joe who told us the territorial info.
It looks like it is snowing on the turkeys in PA.
CORRECTED COMMENT (I LEFT OUT A WORD)
Okay, I am going to tell an opossum tale! When Buphals was maybe a year old, he was laying in the yard and then I saw something laying about 2 feet from him. I went up to it and it was a small opossum. I thought surely he had killed it but it looked unharmed, just not moving. Then, like an epiphany, it hit me, it was playing possum, just like Daddy used to do with me and scare the wits out of me when I thought he was asleep. Playing possum worked for this little feller because Buphals never even saw him there.
Yeah, Sharon, Possums definitely go into a coma-like state wherein they look dead, and they smell just terrible ... carnivores, which normally would take an animal like that, will not think about eating them.
I've seen a few snakes on TV nature shows that do something similar.
It is a very effective defense against larger or faster animals.
[:~)]
Jim
If you were planning to light a candle for our friend's recovery, now is a good time.
[:~D]
Jim
Well, my pic has been frozen for over 30 minutes.
Yup frozen at 12.22.01
Here's a link to the Wikipedia article on Opossums. There's also another one under "Opossum" with different pics, etc.
Jim
“VA Possums”
Now that you say it, my cam is frozen on Liberty at 12:22 also. Pretty good view of him at least.
Jim
Eagle at Lake Washington, I got a picture this time.
Both there now.
Whoever wrote that article hasn't seen the possums in Martinsburg. They are huge. One reason you see so many dead in the road is because they play "possum" then get run over by cars.
I haven't seen an eagle on BWO in several days ... have you?
Maybe they are anticipating the Osprey's return, or maybe it's just too cold and windy out there.
Jim
Brad is working on the fix. The Service website has been up and down today...
I don't know if I've seen a "huge Possum", Jill, but I've heard of them before.
It probably depends on how much food they can find. They do get large around the coastal So Cal area though.
And they get used to eating your cat's food, and then they get vicious if you try to run them off.
My Brother-in-law had to buy an air pistol just for such a group of possessive Possums. Didn't kill them, but it made them think twice about standing there bearing their teeth at my relatives.
They had to carry the pistol whenever they went out on the back patio at night, where the cats were fed, for quite a while, but I don't think it is much of a problem now.
Jim
Thanks for the update on the cam, Steven.
How's the 'moving picture' feed progressing??
I was noting the other day that the Norfolk cam looks like it is transmitted in 3D, which brings it to life a lot more. Do you have any idea of how much extra price tag that adds??
Ours looks good though this season. Can't wait for the streaming picture with the Dolby surround sound now.
Jim
Eagle at Lake Washington
OUr cam still frozen
Jim - just saw an eagle at BWO yesterday eating...and one today, just hanging out
Where did you get the 3d glasses at for Norfolk?
Thanks for the update Steve.
Hi, Paula, how's it going?
Jim
Eagle at Lake Wash gone, probably just popping in and out at this stage...although I would think egg laying time would be soon
Going great Jim. Lots of eagles to watch now! :)
Hahahaha, Paula. You didn't know about 3D effect?
I think every modern computer comes with a 3D (capable) Video Board.
But not every source has the equipment to photograph and transmit in 3D.
Take a look at Norfolk and see if you can't tell everything is a lot more rounded and the picture has a lot more depth to it than most of what you look at daily.
Jim [:~D]
And, Oh yeah, the computer version of 3D doesn't require the 3D glasses.
I remember vividly when the 3D came out from Hollywood, and how excited all us kids were about it.
I think I still have some of those flaming arrows implanted in the middle of my forehead!!
Jim
OUR CAM IS BACK UP!
Our cam is working!
Thank you, Brad and NCTC!
JIm - NOrfolk may appear to be 3D because it is focused on the tree, and there ias alot of background movement....JMO
I guess I've just been unlucky at BWO, Paula. Glad to hear they're still using that nest.
Jim
My WV cam is up too ... looks like Belle now.
Jim
Later, everybody...
Jim
P.S. Here's an article on 3D graphics in computing for those who doubt it exists.
Jim
3D computer graphics
Oh, I am not doubting 3D graphics, just a 3D webcam...
Interesting, Jim. I compared NBG to Maine and thought I could see a difference. BBL.
Jim, we live near a school and with that comes a dumpster full of goodies for the possums. Which in turn makes for some very large possums. One was so fat he literally waddle from side to side as he walked. No running for that guy.
Eagle at BWO
Fresh pine sprig at BWE
Looks like Lib is snoozing
The herons are spending a lot of time at the nest....
Whick Heron cam do you all have up?
Hmmm, what is that brown thing in the BWE nest, near the eagles tail...about 9 in the nest
PH cam zoomed in closer now
The one at Wild Watch, Dana...cam 2
Kent site
leftovers. been there for awhile, was very red yesterday, Paula
Oh, the possums round here are fat and tasty too...
I clicked on the one someone put back there in blue. Although I have the page up. I've tried cam 1 nothing and cam 2 nothing???
http://wdfw.wa.gov/wildwatch/heroncam/index.html
Did want to say Paula also to Mits. The link Paula gave for BC I used in WMAP and it works great. I didn't want to use my wmp. I use it for other things. TY Paula BC stays up all day now. ( :
Sometimes looks brown, sometimes it looks red...was thinking it was something different...it's red now...
Now you know, in WV, we can legally pick something up off the road if we kill it, take it home and cook it up!
This is the link I have, Dana

rofgwyob
That was my word
Roll on Floor Good With Your Own Bottle
lmbo Paula at your WV meaning
Well Paula you did it again...I got the heron cam up....wow ... I'm glad I don't have to pay you lol...you could quit work hee hee
Evening all,
Just a quick pop in, just to let you all know I'm still alive.
Takes me ages to catch up on all the blog and then when I've finished I din't have much time to post before I have to leave again.
I really hate this time difference thing !!!
