Hey Jim and Iris. Reading about the Boonsboro fire. www.herald-mail.com has an eyewitness video. Terrible fire, really devastating.

Morning NORMA!!! Did I see Mits and Sandy??? on here before the new thread? Was that our Sandra do you think? Good to see you Mits!
I'm sorry, I can't remember did she post as Sandy or is that a different person?
Also Indiana Dave and BirdGirl were on earlier too! Bunch of night eaglewatchers...
Don't be sorry Sandy, welcome back.
PLEASE "TEST" more real soon!!---DANELLE is on the blog most everyday!!!---Always ask about you!!
I need to change my name....too much confusion.
COOL JIM---Are you talking about the "SKINNY SQUIRREL"----Remember yesterday you said the KENT squirrel was a 'fatter' squirrel than this one!!---ho!
Norma, I was around all the time the year of Spunk and the gang, and a little last year. Have not been on at all this year until now. No time to explain now....maybe later.
Sandy in NC
Is it my imagination, or is it snowing more heavily on Belle?
[:~)]
Jim
Good morning, Sandy.. I kinda recall there being two Sandy's on the blog. Yes.
By the way, it's time to check if your candles are still burning on the other Sandy's site.
I hope she's progressing well.
[:~)]

Morning Paula, Mema Jo, Jim, Floralgirl
Good to be back....
hello to all of you who don't know me. I know all of you somewhat as I have been lurking for a LONG time!
sandy in NC
Egg roll!
I just got Two Harbors AND WE up...
There is the female, on one egg, I believe, at TH. And there is one eagle working on the nest at WE.
Those cams are a lot clearer now, but you've got to download the NeoKast software.
PH/SC is also up, but I saw no eagles there yet.
[:~)]
Jim
MORNIN' CANDY from NC!---Hope you are enjoying your Sat. a.m.!!!---What's the weather in NC like?--LOUSY here!!!---
TURKEY TIME in PA!!!
Hey Norma, Mits, and JIm and Paula:) You got it right, Sandy. Not snowing here now, Jim, just cold and dreary. Rained a little very early this morning. We dodged the storm they were prediciting, thank goodness. Our kids definitely could have gone to schoool yestrday-but hindsight is always 20/20.
I don't know if you read on the other thread that I saw one (probably the male) of the originals at VA this morn, and he had been bringing fresh pine branches into the nest.
It's looking like the younger female may be gone, however it happened, and that the original pair might be starting over.
[:~)]
Jim
Little fuzzy head peering out of the TESORO nest----SQUAWKING about something!!!!---
Latest newspaper article about the Norfolk saga. http://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-local_eagles_0223feb23,0,3366384.story
Daily press article
new updates at BW eagle and osprey cams
Thanks, Megan, I think it might have been a glitch in the picture, because it looks fairly clear in the nest now again.
Good morning to Paula, Mits, Candy and "Sandy in Carolina."
I used to think everyone was a little bonkers with the exact opposite sex names (Big Guy, Ms. In-Between, Spunky) a couple of years ago, but now of course I know better.
[:~)]
Jim
Now, I know I'm bonkers. Thanks for rectifying my attitude.
[:~)]
Jim
MEGAN---I AGREE---we lucked out on the weather yesterday!!---Saw BOONESBORO on TV a few times yesterday!!----That is DEVASTING!!-----Am I correct in thinking the burned bldgs. were all owned by the ROBERTS family!!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
We really have a full house. I remember Sandy...She had a niece whose horse won a race or something like that and I thought it was our Sandy in Shepherdstown. It was last April or May when I first joined this group.
NO, JIM, It is not snowing here. It hasn't for a good while now.
There's also an update on the Norfolk cam page in their blog, it shows another picture of the eggs.
VDGIF is also updated
Link to open VDGIF article
Eagle flew into NBG nest.
Mits, it is so good to have you back and giving us updates and weather reports! I know you are still uncomfortable, so take it easy.
Good morning, everyone. I have to finish opening cams and catch up on the blog. Good to see the nest looks dry this morning.
CO NEST--MT!!!---I believe the OWL has turned a bit!!---(now if she would stand up---we could see the eggs) ho!
MEGAN, I am so glad you got a new server. You are our "Tiny Little URL" girl and we like them. Thank You!
It looks just awful, Norma, the Robert's family has been acquiring buildings downtown for a few years. Their son owned the pizza place across the street, it caught fire last year in January. Robets also owns a bookstore in Boonsboro, and her son opened a new restaurant diagonally across from the hotel.
I need to exercise...don't go away. I'll be back in 30 min. Wait on me!! Conversations are so interesting this morning!!
Thanks, Wanda, I have a new motto..."easy does it":)
Hey -, I like that! Carolina girl!
Thanks, Wanda, loving broadband:) Must get away from computer soon and gop get birdseed, almost out and the birds will riot if they are not fed. Norma, yesterday I counted 38 cardinals at one time around my feeding area, males females and young ones..
WANDA!!!----THANK YOU--THANK YOU!!!---I have been trying to remember that about SANDY!!----I kept thinking it was something about a dog----A HORSE!!! ---YES!---Because I told everyone in Romney that it was SANDY in SHEPHERDSTOWN!!---Thanks!!
I'm with you WANDA. It is good to have MITS back but you did your very best while she was away.
NORMA our temp here is 48', cloudy with some off and on rain. No sun yet this am. Good to see our nest is still faring pretty well.
I'd like to know where BWE nest is located. It never seems to have our problems. Lucky duck or should I say Eagle.
Maine eagle is perched on a branch abofe it's nest. I guess it doesn't want to get frozen feet yet. lol
OH MEGAN!!!!----You are truly BLESSED!!!!!
Hi Everyone, Glo has some really cute stuff on here:
http://tinyurl.com/3yz9rd
Hope you enjoy them all as much as I did!
Hey CAROLINA GIRL "Sandy" Where in Carolina do you live. I am at the Outer Banks area by the Wright Bros.place. Nice to see you back.
CANDY---Blackwater is located in MD!!---HELEN & PAULA have been there!! They could give you directions!!
Megan, I wish your taxes check would come in so we could hear about you planting your flower seeds and it would really feel like spring was at least coming. I have daffodils already coming up in my yard and our two bushes of camelias are blooming.
Thanks NORMA. Didn't want directions, but just wondered where they were. Never seems to have the bad weather like our nest does.
Belle is turning eggs.
[:~)]
Jim
Morning Candy!
Candy Blackwater gets some really bad weather at times. It is on the Eastern shore of Maryland
Hey NORMA! Have you seen your divers lately? I can't seem to get into the blog anymore at school, so I have to come home and catch up if I can stay awake longer.
As far as cake goes, I just love a dark chololate cake with white boiled icing on it. My Mom used to make it every year for my birthday.
I see we had another bad guy on here again, named FOX. What a shame. Good times never last forever before people have to come in and spoil it for others.
Hey - I heard CC2 was back online!
Just hang in there Candy,I'm still waiting on the feds, and trying to figure out how we will heat the Gh this year, the price of propane has skyrocketed, may switch to wood heat. But I am looking at ssed orders online as we spaek. Just signed up for a brand new mkt. near DC too. MTBR
DANA----There is a small 'HERD' of DONKEYS feeding this a.m.---ENJOY!!
GOOD MRONING PAULA! Did I hear someone say that you might get out to California again this year to see the nests on vacation? One egg is already there and waiting for your visit.
Also saw you all getting ready for an early trip to the nest in May. Sounds super to me. I might even take off of work myself this time. Missed the open house in the fall. I am getting more gutsy the closer to retirement I get. Just one more year to go I think, and then I can be a full time watcher. Yahhoooo! Can't wait.
GOOD MORNING HELEN. So very glad to see you are getting on more and more. Sure hope things are on the mend, but it will still take some time. We all gasped at hearing you had 5 hernias operated on. We are going to start calling you the
the best "bite the bullet" person we ever knew.
oh my gosh, I have typo flu, apparently, stepping away from the computer for a while....
MEGAN Will you still be selling flowers at the Farmers Market in Shepherdstown this year?
CANDY---OOOOH YEAH!---The DIVERS have been on more frequently than before!!---YESTERDAY---The WAVER was back!!!---ho!-----Regarding the cake!!---JILL was teasing me about being old enough to remember FROSTING IN A CAN!!-----Later--I remembered---my MOTHER was like all the others---when the 'box cake'--was introduced!!!---NO GOOD MOTHER WOULD FEED THEIR FAMILY 'BOX CAKE'!!!!!!! ho!---Do remember that!!---You kids are to young to remember those days!!! ho!
lol.....you should have seen how surprised the surgeons were:), Candy.
Yes, Candy, Shepherdstown, Charlestown,WV and apparently a new Tenleytown market, heading down closer to you Mits...
Egg roll again
Well, Norma, this "kid" never uses a boxed cake mix..lol
WOW!!!!!, Megan, that is close to me and even closer to the ZOO!
Yep, brand new market, small, just 4-6 vendors, but a great opportunity, going to give it a try.
neat area, Megan
MORNIN' DEB---I missed seeing you sign on!!---What's your weather!!--Our EAGLES lucked out--didn't get all the extreme weather!!!----Hey--have you gotten the pics ready for us to view!!---So anxious to see the GYRFALCON!!---What did you say the gyrfalcon ate??
Yep,near the Metro stop, right by the Whole foods mkt.
WHOA HELEN!!---This summer you can take the 'LITTLE PRINCE' some flowers!!!---I am trying to vision that now!!----'LOOK MOM--NO HAND'--KIDDIN'----TAI is a LOVER not a FIGHTER!!
I am all caught up on reading. I finally turned down the sound at Maine, noisy crows this morning.
It is 18 and sunny here today, headed for 38 today, 41 for tomorrow!
Megan, what day????
my God, Deb a heatwave, get out your shorts
KENT site is up!!----Wonder when they will start on their nest?
yes Megan, you should do very well in that area.
Tuesdays, Mits-3 to 7
Wow, Deb, slap on the sunscreen and take your lawn chair outside..
excellent......Megan. you will get alot of people from the Metro at that time, but just be patient with the traffic when you start home
I AGREE---HELEN!---With those temps she can sun bathe in her BIKINI!!!! ho!
Norma, the gyrfalcon ate a quail. Luckily for me, you couldn't see much of it. I got the pictures posted last night. It took me so long because somehow I lost some of the red-tailed hawk pictures. I finally gave up and posted what I could.
off to take shower....BBL
Yep, Mits, that's wwhy we decided to go til 7-by the time we pack up hopefully traffic won't be a nightmare. Sat on 270 too many times, don't know how people can stand it everyday.
OREGON NEST has LESS snow that yesterday---That's an improvement!!
I sure don't know how they do it day in and day out.....good thinking on your part.
I read the GYRFALCON eats large birds!!!----Was the quail eating planned for the show?----
OK, I am back and Jo didn't wait on me and Sandy never came back.
You all laugh, there will be people with shorts on today. (most of us think they are crazy) Definitely no coat, just a sweatshirt, for errands. It isn't supposed to last, so we will enjoy it!
Hey Megan and Mits, is the Tenleytown market near American Univ? and/or Tenley Circle? One of our grandson's is at AU - might get to see you there...
Did someone say OLD FRIENDS? Anyone remember the gal from Commode Town, IL that likes to make trips to the nest? Speaking of nest visits, don't forget to let me know when the next one is planned! I'd nevah forgive you if I was not invited!
Norma, the gyrfalcon is new to the show. To help it feel calmer, they feed her during the show. They said it helps her feel that she is in control. She had a great grip on that bird. They try not to take her to shows with a lot of small kids. If a bird gets upset, they put them away immediately. They don't want them to be stressed.
It is 32° right now and the week ahead doesn't look as if anything ominus is on the way, so Lib and Belle will be OK.
Today: Cloudy with rain and snow. High 36F. Winds light and variable. Chance of precip 30%.
Tonight: Some lingering evening flurries or snow showers. Clearing. Low 22F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow: Mainly sunny. High 42F. Winds light
Get your Commode ready Vicky...you'll be the first to know.
SLOTH BEAR is at the 'DIRT CONES' in the NZOO!!!----Both TAI & MEI are taking a BAMBOO BREAK!!
Wow see what happens when you come in late morning lol Good Day Jo, Wanda, deb, Jim, NC Sandy, Glo, Vicky Iris, Norma, Mits, Megan, Paula, Candy and Watchers.
Have not read earlier am Sat thread yet.
WHO could forget COMMODE CITY VICKY???----Hey we MISS you!!!---Are you feeling better?---Hope you are----So many illnesses on the blog lately!!!----Stay WELL!--ya hear!!
MORNIN' DANA!!---We have missed you!!---A "herd" of DONKEYS have been calling your name!!!!!!
Norma I seen that comment earlier and I tell you lady. I really was chuckling at you lol "your a fun lady". ( :
Yes, Iris, it is not far from AU
DIVERS!!!
We are waiting until Our Eggs hatch before any dates set for Nest Visit.
Everyone agree to that?
Our nest just had a very smooth
egg roll......
Good idea Jo. But we all have to remember we can't climb the tree and look in!
Deb I just got the chance to view your Bald Eagle Awareness Days' presentation. Fabulous!!
Beautiful birds.
BOTH EAGLES.........
Both eagles our nest....
Lunch time at the Nest...
Is it fish?
On yesterday's thread I said:
Nest Visit
In picking a date for the nest visit, we need to consider that it can't be too early - Wanda would be gone and Eaglets wouldn't be little bobble heads yet. It can't be too late - Robyn will have moved and the eaglets may have fledged.
I think we want a bobble head - wing flapping day to visit! Similar to where the Tesoro eaglets are now.
It would have to be a Road Side Visit. No one would be allowed during this time up at the barn.
Perhaps we could get Steve to bring out the scope like the very 1st visit to the nest - however; I know the visit would be on a Saturday. IT WILL HAPPEN
Lib sure is a good provider
Switch - and nice view of all 3 eggs!
Candles need lit for Sandra
Candles Sandra
FUN SHOW!!!---PINK FLAMINGO SITE!!!---FLAMINGOS are standing back & about a dozen of the BEAUTIFUL BLACK & WHITE DUCKS---have taken over!!---diving--& splashing each other!!!---show offs!
Seems like this season they are pulling more fluff around them. Nice 3 eggs .... ( :
Thanks, Jo, it was a fun event to attend.
hummm don't know what is going on trying to open West End and Two Harbors. I had the one open the other day (yes did the download that day) hummm
BLUEFIELD SHARON!!---How are you feeling this a.m.----I don't see any SNOW in BLUEFIELD this a.m.!!
GOOD THING!!
The eagles in Barton Cove are sure busy today, I guess I should say one of them is busy, the other is just sitting there.
Eagle at Maine
Eagle in Maine!
Does anyone have up West End or Two Harbors?
Diver!
GUESS the ME EAGLE doesn't want to sit in the snow!!---I really how to look to find her!!
DANA---How many!!--I saw 2 earlier!
The eagle in Maine is still there. You can see its tail and right wing. It is up on the branch that goes to the left of the nest. I thought it had left, then I saw it move.
MISREAD---DEB---How many?--I missed them!!
Maine eagle just left, after I finally found it. Norma, just one diver--didn't come near the cam.
I need to leave for awhile....
Keep watching all those nests...
And don't forget the Pandas.....
BBL
Eagle was on limb to our left of nest. Might still be there cameraman isn't noticing it.
Sorry that is at Norfolk this time.
DEB---The ME EAGLE kept shaking his tail feathers---That's how I noticed him!!!
Come on cameraman move camera to the left.
Turkeys!!
I am like MEGAN---Need a typing break!!----MEANT---to type--I "HAD"to look to find him!---Later!!
Eagle at VA
I am going to enjoy some nice weather. BBL
Hi you all. I haven't forgot you, but am trying to download Neokast and having a time of it. BB
Well, I'm going to take care of business, but...
You might check IWS, there's an egg in the TH nest.
And I just read a report that the first-time-mated pair at Rattlesnake Canyon has produced an egg in their new nest.
[:~)]
Jim
eagle at BWO
I'm here. Went walking with my girlfirend, then to the grocery store, now back....for a few minutes anyway. My 7yo wants me to come out and play and its beautiful!
I am about as far from the Outer banks as you can physically get and still be in NC..LOL I am actually MUCH closer to Bluefirld WV.
Thanks for the "welcome backs!"
Been watching our nest for a few minutes. The fiasco in VA fascinates me!
I'm off again!!
Both our nest
Looks like Belle is back on the job :)
That's what I remember Sandy - we were going to hook you up with Bluefield Sharon to get you to come for a visit!
I'm gettin my pm cup of coffee before getting ready for 5:00 mass.
Turned out to be a decent day around here. SandyNC & DebSD - I bet you 2 put your shorts on! And Candy - did you put your shorts on today?
ummmm, not quite shorts weather yet, but MUCH warmer than the ice storm of a few days ago. I'm guessing it was in the 50's.
My bulbs are coming up and things are starting to turn green
There is one eagle on each of the three C. Island nests.
[:~)]
Jim
BOTH our nest
Three pretty eggs in view!!
Turning and down again!

[:~)]
Jim

I wonder what happened to the TH cam that turned everything red??
[:~)]
Jim
Zoomed in at Norfolk. Two eagles.
Cant tell which they are hope not that hussie...lol
I saw that too Jim. Looks like it has been that way awhile, I checked out one of their msg. boards and they had red pics too.
well they are talking things over ..Hmmmm
The larger one on the left doesn't look like it has a "dirty" head.
Beak rubbing. That is a good sign.
No, It's Mom and Dad just engaged in a little whoopee.
[:~)]
Jim
They seem to be looking for something.
trying to get alook at there collars... original male and female?
Now, they are REALLY scoping out the area to catch that intruder... I sure wonder what convinced her to move on.
[:~)]
Jim
Oh in nest!!!!! Zoomin in
Bust workin together in nest.... watching for hankey pankey too
Pretty sure they are the residents Nilla. Hussy had a dirty head.
i bet those fellers down there are xcited to see this also!!!!
LQQKS like they maybe gona reclutch....or wondering wheres my eggs gone
maybe alil skiddish about that Hussie Jill being round still... 1 flew off... 1 looking around perched on edge... Maybe went to bring fluff perhaps
Did you see the pic of them after they took the eggs. One is looking at the other with their head turned as if to say "what did you do with the eggs"
