Good to hear from you Chrissy!
Am I the SPLIT?
I think BC needs more fluff too.
Close Carol!
How ya doing?
TGIF!!!
The heron is standing is there an egg? What color is it?
Nope - missed it by one. Congratulations, Paula!
Eagle at VA
I don't think there's any eggs there Dana - Deb and I couldn't see any...did you?
Haven't read 1 to 200 yet. Just checked in and thought I could be 201. It just started snowing here. 3 to 5 inches predicted. Hopefully they'll get it as wrong this time as the past couple of times! Yeah, Paula - TGIF. Have been in meetings most of the day. UGH!
Eating something yummy in VA - stringy!
Is is lovely stringy opossum?
Hmmm, Great blue herons eggs are light blue in color, like a sky blue
Seem to have some brownish streaks in them also.
Could've been fish guts, Sharon....
Moving Tesoro cam around...getting ready for Monday banding??
I wished our parents were tagged and the eaglets banded.
No eggs that I seen Paula at heron nest.
Hopefully VA NBG is eating squirrel
Went back and read 1-200. I see that we were talking possum again. My dog, Remus, has caught several of them. He shakes them in his mouth, drops them, sniffs them and repeats the whole process several times. Then he gets it in his mouth and wants to bring it in the house. After a battle of wills, he drops it, looks mournfully at it laying there and comes in without it. Half an hour or hour later - I look outside and it's gone!!! So - it was "playing possum". Someone once told me that when they "play possum" - what really happens is that they get so scared they faint. Don't know if that is true, but it's a funny concept. And - yes, they do stink!!
My dinner would be stringy too if raw. Chicken ( : Crock pot
Next door neighbor where we use to live. Had a groundhog under his above ground swimming pool. Since they worked and I was home. I told him to buy a trap. He did I put apples (groundhogs love apples)...kept catching a darn possum...first thought it was dead then I remembered. That they act that way...darn sucker was hard to release every time out of the cage. Finally got groundhog and re-located it.
Has anyboyd talked to Janet lately?
I haven't heard from her in a while. Thought about her when I went by the seafood place on Winchester AVE.
Dana we get all kinds of critters, especially in the winter when schools close for snow days. If it is more than a day or two the dumpsters empty out and they start to migrate. Also the first week after school is out for the summer.
Seal Rock still has one egg in nest ( :
WV: why copy dumb boogling jargan
I still love I think it was Norma story or Jo's. About the friends in the car saying about the "big rats" lol
OUR cam frozen at 4:38:35pm ?????
Rats are much cuter than possums LOL
That was my story, Dana. I still think it is funnay, after all these years. :-)
Got to go finish with fixing the taters and grits and fixn's for supper ....later ( :
BC turning egg funny walked into nest turned it with talcons curled not with beak lol
Your Carol I just loved it sorry couldn't remember but it was funny lol lol
OK I know she looks as though she is sleeping.... and I know that the clock is now running.... BUT
anyone else think that our cam is frozen???
I just want to see her untuck her head....
There you go- eagle is awake...
Jo-she has been like that for quite a while. I looked in before I went to check my mail. You could be right. Frozen camera.
hi everyone! Didn't have time to stop in while I was at work. Have to leave in 5 minutes. Looks like Belle is tired, or the cam is frozen again. I hope ya'll are having a good day. Maybe I'll get to stop in later tonight.
Love,
Danelle
Megan Just how long did she stay awake?
DEB: you said you got a pic from the Washington Eagle cam. Could you send it around? I have yet to catch them at that nest. Thanks.
Hey There Deb -
EAGLE AT LAKE WASHINGTON
Not long, Jo. Eagles head is up again.
Thank you Megan! She's alive!!
Not Frozen! WHooo HOooo!
LINK TO Lake Washington Eagle
Sure to be gone before I get all these formulas & letters typed in....
YouTube video Kent Nest 2007 & 2008
Dinner time here..... BBL
I have no idea where that comment went>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>outer space
Re-try
PS Pugent Sounds nest is modern built. Like a house with a tree growing up in the middle. Wonder where they got their floor plans....Lowe's lol
It is probably the last time for the day. I just seen through the darkness. BC wiggling onto egg for the evening.
I think SR wants food...calling for partner.
Still 2 eggs at BWE
Bw eggs showing
Eagle up an turing our eggs
Yep partner came in with eagle at SR. No switch yet.
both- our nest
Both eagles at our nest probably a switch going to happen
Changing of the guards!
need live feed- hard to figure out exactly what happened sometimes...
Low peeks out of eagle on egg at SR. Other eagle still sitting in nest. Both keep looking up...
Switch at our nest
WOW 3 of us at 6:07 hee hee
Both again...stupid latters@#&%
Both eagles at our nest again humm
Dad is just staying in nest at SR. Wonder if she is going to lay another egg??
I know Megan ... grrrr thing didn't give me any letters. So I just typed some in and hit publish and it came back with some letters grrrrrrrr
I think that is Belle eating at our nest while Liberty is on the eggs. I think
just one now.
I'm trying to keep an eye on BWE. However it is so dark & their egg cup is so far to the side that it's hard to tell. Nesting eagle is doing a lot of head down like looking under.
I may just have to wait until Lisa makes an announcement .......
I've been keeping an eye on BWE also Jo.
Mom got off eagle at SR and male is now on egg. She flew off to get food I'm sure.
These guys have to do better at providing their wives with food :(
Maybe the nesting eagle really wants to stretch their wings and get something to eat.
Dana Sent you an email about
Lake Washington Nest
I don't think time is changing at BWE???
Ok mine finally changed time ok BWE
I'll check mail Jo
Dana, my clock is working at BWE...
Eagle at BWE is very very alert tonight - do you think she is "hearing" sounds from those eggs? I'd bet on it myself! If I was a betting woman that is.
How come this blog makes you sign in again if you haven't posted in awhile???
the last couple of nights she has been out like a light, but she is more alert tonight, Iris
Is the "SR" being referred to the Oklahoma nest?
Can not believe the 4 eggs! Trying to get work done in my yard while monitoring BW.
What is the weather report for our nest the next day or two? Norma I believe mentioned snow...this morning.
I have given up why the blog does what it does, now my has been up all day, and I haven't had to sign in at all
oops, company arrived, be back later, if anyone is still home. If not Prayers being said for all!!!

I agree with my fellow Momsters that
something is about to happen
at BlackWater
I bet Lisa is biting her nails or tapping her feet! Excited!!!
I am lol
Come on little Fuzzie Bobble Head!
Thanks Helen, that doesn't sound toooooooo bad. Sure wish the snow would stay away from that nest!
Hugs, everyone!
LOLLY the SR refers to Seal Rocks out in California, is there a nest in OK that has 4 eggs?????
would have gotten it on faster, Iris, but letters were being mean
I'm loving those heron.....:)
Yes! I have been waiting for the cam to come up and tonight, there it was! With four eggs!
Hi Lollie! Dana is watching SR.
These are the Catalina Is Nest CA
SR Seal Rocks
WE West End
TH Two Harbors
PH Pelican Harbor
The OK nest with the 4 eggs!!! Wowzee! I am trying to get the link
Will pass on when I do or maybe someone else already has it...
Oklahoma cam
www.suttoncenterorg/eaglecam
Well, Lolly if your looking at it can you pass on the link.
Mits - you're going to recognize it
when you put it up!!!
Remember the stand out in the water..You even gave me the link last year I think......
http://www.suttoncenter.org/
eaglecam.html (All 1 line)
Get the html on the end of it...
Well, that is incredible!! 4 eggs - that's gonna take a lot of food for sure!
http://www.suttoncenter.org/eaglecam.html
Just got back from dinner. Looks like we may have some excitment at BW.
Ran into Wanda, with two handsome young men. LOL She was out with Gene, her grandsons Brandon and Dustin, her mother, who looks a lot like Wanda. And I am going to assume the two lovely women at the table were her daughters.
It is starting to rain here now and wind is picking up. Hopefully that will be it for the night.
I don't remember that one, but 4 eggs, unbelievable.....
eagle at BWE is sleeping.
Jo, I have three pictures of Lake Washington, two of them have both eagles. I will get them up later, I just got home and got caught up on blog. I need to eat, then I will do it. So maybe a baby at BWE??
Oops, I forgot--FOUR EGGS! Thanks, Lolly for letting us know. I just checked that cam yesterday to see if it was up yet.
I guess the eggs aren't talking right now! lol
I hope you told Wanda we all thought she & the Capt were long gone down the road by now! They should have a blast but I bet they best get out of town before anymore bad weather comes.
Mits - it's the eagles nest (4 eggs) that is on a pedestal out over the water. I am wondering if they will all hatch.
You would hope that the later it gets the easier these #%%^#& letters would be. I can't do wvgqlt
At least when they are slanted.
We need to talk about these Word Verifications - & when bloggers refer to them as WV - I think they are talking about West Virigin! lol
Deb - right as I was asking you for them.... in flew an eagle & I got his pic! Take your time!!
#$@^ keep missing the eagle at Lake Washington...
Here are the Lake Washington pictures:
Lake Washington
thanks, DEB:)
The one of the couple is great.
I keep losing my posts.. like they disappear into cyber space. Twice it has happened.
I need to take a break!
Jo- earlier somebody said they would like to get rid of the WV, I thought they meant West Virginia too.
Our traveling friends are blasting off at 9 am tomorrow. They are heading south so the weather shouldn't be too bad. Now they are only calling for rain here.
Did you hear the Sutton Center eagles in Oklahoma laid 4 eggs this year!!
I didn't know they were already laying eggs there!
Sutton Center cam
Ok, I see you got the Oklahoma news!
Light snow flurries here right now
BWE eagle is sleeping
Waiting for the college kid to drop by...home for the weekend.
We are going out birthday shopping on Sunday and dinner, should be a nice day...
have a fun weekend, Paula......finally saw the eagle live at LW, its there now
Something going on around here tonight...fire siren keeps going off...dog keeps howling along with it...
Kewl- and still there, thanks Mits
that eagle has a beautiful face...
Looks like LW eagle is eating
BWE is up
And the snow has turned to a cold rain now
Jill chinesse????
Jo WV I thought was for West Virginia too but then I very shortly got it. lol
Neat 4 eggs Remember Sharon of Maine ask Reese Lukie in the Norfolk chat: Do you know if there has been any time when more than three eggs have been layed at a nest?
Reese Lukei: That is a question I have asked many times. 3 is the most I know about.
Someone needs to send him the Okl. site..hee hee
Hey Mits, the Heron are still there. Love them too.
I bet someone will, Dana
It took me quite some time to figure out LW......... Boy oh Boy..
For this old gal's quick recognition
could you young gals add another letter or two? lol
I'm so tired of copying letters, that I'm abbreviated as much as I can...sorry:)
I thought about that too Dana - I was just rereading that chat log...
I think the blog cheats....
Boy those lemurs really have long tails - watching them on AP
lots of birds coming into roost for the night on HERON CAM #3
WOW - awesome sight, thanks MIts
Paula what do you mean you think the blog cheats?
I do know one time I did type the letters right and it wouldn't take them.
Yes all other times I did type something wrong.
I can't imagine that many herons at once, wow! The most I have ever seen was two and I was amazed at that.
its like heron heaven:)
BWE sleeping pretty good now, our eagle snoozing too
Yes Dana, China City. Very good tonight. last week not so good.
Dana - yes I;m talking about I know i put the right letters in...think it is cheating on us!
Either that or I am really having trouble with my qqqqq and ggggg
Wow thanks Mits can't imiage all those herons...wowwe
BWE up again, turning eggs.
Ha Ha "cugbut"
I 2nd that Paula is does cheat!!
Jill do you go for the Chinesse or the crab legs?
LW and Kent are dark
I don't know, I just don't see the Kent eagles using that nest this year...
:(:( I will be surprised if they do, I just remember so much more activity last year
really?? what's so hard about spelling adjwowuy- whenallthelettersruntogether..and they are slanted... no problems here....
youcansaythatagainMegan
dittodittodittoditto
Mostly the crab legs but I like some of the Chinese too. I like the grill part but lately I have always been to full after crab legs to get it.
I bet that one of the eggs hatches tomorrow at BW- she was more restless today than usual.
and you have wwwwvvvqqqggg, what could be hard about reading that?
I worry about the same thing, Paula, maybe they aren't going to nest this year?? At the bottom of the WildWatch Heron page there are lots of short clips of the herons. I watched a few, will watch the rest later. One of them is supposed to be an eagle attacking the herons, but I will have to rewatch it. I didn't see the eagle.
Egg check by BWE
juvix, Everyone, closing down for the night....TTYT
OUr eagle up and rolling rolling rolling
NIght Mits
Norma will be happy to know Sen. Byrd has been released from the hospital and is resting at home.
Our eggs were just showing
Looks like all the eagles are tucked in for the night. I am ready, too. Being outside today wore me out!!
Talk to you tomorrow. Hopefully we will have a BW chick!
Gotta go, have a good night!
Going to call it a night.
Beautiful pic of juvie that Deb sent on email.
Good night everyone who is still awake. Thankful for report Iris gave concerning her eye appointment!
Peaceful sleep to all
Prayers for everyone's needs
Nite!
Evening, I looked at our comments but didn't see this info, which I got on the Maine blog:
'There's a nest in Oklahoma with 4 eggs!!!'
It's the same one we were watching last year when they only had a couple of eggs. Here's the link:
www.
suttoncenter.org/eaglecam.html
**************
On the other hand the Norfolk pair don't seem to have laid egg #1 yet.
Jim
Hey Jim, we checked out the OK nest earlier. BWE was restless tonight so we were hoping for a eaglet. Now would be a good time for them to go 24 hours on the camera. Stopping tonight at 10:59.
Jim here is the video clip I was talking about last night. Now I can't hear Santa Ana without thinking of this.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=IZjMgbRUsZM
Haven't had a chance to read your tiny/url email yet.
Jeff Dunham is on tv now on the comedy channel. Suppose he will be on later on the West Coast.
Jill, before the split in the blog, you were telling how big and waddling the Possums get around your area.
Two things that can contribute to that besides what you mentioned...
Possums walk with a "pacer stride." They move both legs forward on the same side at the same time like elephants and some others, and that causes them to appear to be waddling.
They only live about 2 years, so the females carry more than a dozen babies at a time, and that can make them look pretty fat also.
I'm told the big, fat ones make the best stew if you like stew....
Hahaha...
but seriously they are very edible, and old time Americans at least ate a lot of them. Don't know if people down South or Down East still eat them or not.
I haven't had Possum, but I'm willing to give it a try if you do the cooking... You could probably get a recipe on-line and cook it in the ole Crock Pot.
[:~)]
Jim
No this was just a really really fat possum The first time I saw him, my mini dachshund had him cornered. I got him away and the possum headed for the front of the house. At the same time one of the police came to the door. With a very stunned look on my face I said to him (while demonstrated with my hands)I have never seen a possum that big. He laughed until he saw it waddle out. After that it was seen multiple times over the next two summers. No babies.
Yes people here still eat them. Although I have never knowingly eaten possum. There is an old moonshiner near the town I grew up in. Only comes to town to buy "supplies". Eats whatever wanders into his yard.
That's a very funny video, Jill. There's some truth to it, but Santa Ana has its beautiful and/or renovated areas. It doesn't totally "suck" as the video reports.
There are a few areas comprised of 19th Century and early 20th Century Victorians that are beautifully maintained ... like mansions with large, large grassy yards, etc.
Anyway, it has its downside, but generally you wouldn't say it sucks now days.
Hahaha, I liked that part about the moonshiner's meat market habits.
[:~)]
Jim
I am sure Santa Ana is a beautiful place. I just get a kick out of the pronounciation. I just finished watching the show that was taped in DC. It is hilarious. Achmed, the dead terrorist and Peanut are my favorites but tonight I saw a new one, Melvin the superhero.
Yes in WV, there are still a few folks who literally live off the land. Back in 1985, that guy came off the mountain early. Usually he came down in mid November but that year it was later October. When asked why, he had come early, his answer was "Something bad is going to happen" When asked how he knew he said "The animals told me" Mid November a huge part of the town was wiped out by a flood as well as several other neighboring towns. For several weeks, it was hard getting fresh food into the towns but I bet you he had plenty since all the animals went for higher ground.
Well, in addition to Possum and the obvious like rabbit and deer, other edibles are raccoons, squirrels, chucks, rats, members of the weasel family (don't know about the stink on skunk though), beaver, frogs (which legs I have eaten), snakes (including rattlesnake), bears, wolves, probably wild cats.
If you are out there in the wilderness and have the means to get them before they get you, you could probably eat very well.
Learn some Indian or woodsman ways of finding the edible plants in the area, and you would be set.
I used to read a lot of adventure books when I was a teen (non-fiction too), and it was often known that men, who were snowed in, would simmer their leather clothing and their boots to survive...wouldn't want to do that if trapped by snow outdoors though... [:~)]
Jim
I forgot there are many kinds of edible birds, including some large ones.
Did you fall asleep last night, Jill? You didn't comment after the blog split.
[:~)]
Jim
I see it's getting late back East, so...
GOOD NIGHT TO EVERYBODY IN EAGLE LAND.
HAVE A GREAT OBSERVING, LEARNING, THINKING, REPORTING WEEKEND. (Try saying that fast!)
God bless you all.
Jim
GOOD SATURDAY MORNING ALL MY LOVELY BUDDIES!!!!

Good morning, Chrissy. I think you just need to move to West Virginia and we will be in the same time zone! :) Sorry about your nasty weather.
Our eagle has its head tucked and snoozing this morning.
If you are going to fix possum in your crockpot, be sure to boorrow Dana's Crock pot lid.
Good Saturday morning everyone. Its March 1st. I have a good feeling in my bones. I am going eagle watching this morning for a while. I am down to weeks now for them to be here. I will miss them so very much. Of course with all the ice and snow I could have many weeks left LOL.
Good morning, everyone.. Chrissy, Sharon.
Something may be about to happen ... 1st egg maybe ... at Norfolk.
Anyway, Mom's been in the nest cup for quite a long time, and Pop's perched on one of the large branches going to the left.
[:~)]
Jim
As soon as I said that, Mom took off, leaving Dad out on a limb (I couldn't resist).
[:~)]
Jim
Morning everyone and Jim,
My word, dad at Norfolk isn't for leaving is he,, do you think he knows something we don't ????
Chicks at Tesoro getting bigger by the hour, poor mum and dad, and they think all their little troubles are almost over !!!
Wavelit, just one lonely Deer munching on grass, better that than smoking it [ha]
Darling Mei eating her breakfast, leaning on her log, and Gobbo rooting about in the undergrowth looking for trouble as usual, you got to love the little monkey. no sign of Tian yet, like all dads at the weekend I bet, having a lie-in.
I could just sit and watch my Darling Mei all day, bless that girl, she is such a Lady.

Hi guys
Regarding the lack of eagles at the BWO, keep in mind that most eagle couples are now tending eggs, so their appearances at the BWO nest have decreased since they have less time to hang out.
We hope to see our ospreys returning around mid March. I've heard that several ospreys have already been spotted around the Chesapeake Bay.
Hi all,
Barn Owls in Devon extreamly active for during the day.
Baboons out now at Wavelit, boy they are ugly, babies sweet though.
