Thanks for the new thread, Steven, and thanks for the heads up, Jill, but where did you go?
Good morning, Donnie!
Heck, I thought I was late again. Not today....
morning suzanne
Why am I getting that word verification everytime today?
Sorry Suzanne. Phone rang.
Donnie it is to prevent spammers from posting.
Good morning! Will there be a video cam this year?
Now that the noisy one has left for school, I am going back to bed. I was almost up late enough to say Hi to Suzanne when she came to work this morning.
The camera is up and working. We are waiting on live feed.
Not late today, Donnie, but some of us have been here for quite a while. And Candy has come and gone. We have some really early birds!
Word verification is helping to stop this spam we've been getting lately.
Geez, Jill, I'm glad I don't have your hours! At least I know what mine are going to be every day. Mostly!
Morning and welcome, HDC. Yes, but video feed not ready yet, and URL not given out yet.
Egg turning at BW, but couldn't see the eggs. Darn. Hope I get to see them one more time before they start hatching.
NBG still down, bummer!
Cool, NBG is back!
OMG, they are zooming in on the bottom of the nest. Probably looking for the squirrel that lives there. Don't see him/her yet.
Good morning everyone. I see the sun is shining on our nest and eagles! How great is that! Quite the contrast to the way Bluefield looks this morning. No school here AGAIN TODAY! HAPPY, HAPPY, JOY, JOY! Concord University is having school but the roads are too bad to get Andrew there and he is hating it. He really hates to miss school. Still don't know where that kid came from! :)
Right before I woke up this morning, I dreamed I saw an eagle in a tree right in front of me. I was flipping out. The only eagles I have ever seen are Liberty and Belle!
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!!---CONGRATS! DONNIE--You are our #1 EAGLE DAD today & every day!!--HELLO DONNIE--SUZANNE--JILL--HABINGERDC!!---It is a SUNNY--COLD--WINTER a.m. here in WV---"HOME OF BELLE & LIBERTY"---temp. 18°---SUN is shining on our nest!!---GOING TO BE A GLORIOUS DAY---ENJOY!!!
MORNIN' BLUEFIELD SHARON!!---Dreaming of EAGLES---MUST quit 'hittin' that bottle before bed!! ho!----DREAMING OF EAGLES!!!
AAAAW---That's a GOOD thing!!
Morning, Sharon and Norma! Not bad dreams, Sharon.
Norma, look at the steam coming up on the flamingos!
Eagles both in nest at NBG.
I woke up this a.m. with about as much SNOW as they have at the PA SITE!!----
SUZANNE!!---PINK FLAMINGOS are just beautiful with the steam in the sunshine!!----LOVE THE DUCKS TOO!----One would think the FLAMINGOS are visiting them!!!
GOOD MORNING, EARLY BIRDERS & EVERYONE.
Not only are both resident eagles in or at the nest, but the female is setting in the nest cup.
[:~)]
Jim
Sorry, I meant to say they are in the nest at Norfolk.
[:~)]
Jim
The 'LITTLE PRINCE' is ADORABLE this a.m. with his 'REALLY BIG TREE' of bamboo!---Enjoys lifting it up before every bite!!---Then it looks as if the BAMBOO is eating TAI!!---
MORNIN' MOVIN'JIM!----Have you seen the SKINNY SQUIRREL lately??
Mrs NBG just flew off. Think Wanda calls her Nora? Is it Nora and Norman? He sure is standing guard, looking all around.
She just came back and is moving sticks.
Good morning, Jim! Feeling any better?
BURROWING OWL at KENT!
AWESOME---to see the PROUD EAGLE at the NORFOLK nest!!----BEAUTIFUL this sunny morning!
The Norfolk pair are "looking" very like a normal nesting pair, but they appear to be "daring" the intruder to try to take over, they keep looking around very expectantly, like the big, bad intruder will attack any second.
They look as though they are ready and want her to come now rather than later.
[:~)]
Jim
WOW! DANA!----There is a PACE of DONKEYS feeding this morning!!-----Hope your back is better!!---We MISS you!!!!
MOVIN'JIM----I think "DH" is old news!!---She is GONE!
They both are certainly alert this morning, aren't they, Jim? Not missing much, that's for sure! wonder if something is around, they just panned out.
CHECK TESORO!!---Two "fuzzy heads" being feed by MOM!!---So funny to watch---they appear to be as large as she is!!----
Oh, feeding time at Tesoro. They are almost as big as the parent!
Uh oh, I have a red x for my verification, don't know if this will post.
Ok, try to post, then you'll get the verification.
LOL, Norma, great minds say the same thing at the same time. Too funny.
The flamingos took off, nothing now but a couple ducks in the steam. Pic looks cool.
ME--MT---Wind is BLOWING---LOUD!!--& SNOW in nest!!!---Isn't it about time they start nesting!---
LOL, NBG poop shoot! Where's Jo? OH, he just took off, no wonder... had to lighten the load.
Eagle laying in nest Ft St Vrain.
WHOA!!---SUZANNE---I missed it!!!!
Turkeys, PA.
Good morning, Donnie, Suzanne, Jill, Sharon, Norma and Jim. It is a cloudy and windy day here this morning.
SUZANNE----I checked the CO OWL pixes yesterday---Remember all the SNOW she had the day before---It was all gone & didn't show anyone removing it!!---
Good morning, Deb. Windy here too, and very cold.
Norma, I remember those mini drifts in her nest. I saw her this morning, and saw no snow. Looks like she has straw or something there now. Was that there before? I can't imagine her allowing any human near her nest now with eggs!
I got the Colorado cam to open this morning. I am so excited to see the nest, Now for the egg.
MORNIN' DEB---Had to sign in again!!---How COLD is it there!!---I bought groceries yesterday after noon---WINDY---Thought I was going to freeze!!---Have you posted your bird pics from the show yet?---
Ok, no wonder eagle was laying on nest in Ft St Vrain. We have an egg! Didn't know that. Watching her turn it, talons tucked in.
Deb, do you call the Ft St Vrain nest the Colorado nest? If you do, I have a pic of the egg. I'll be glad to send it to you, but don't have your email.
SUZ---I left early yesterday---But yesterday---it was all removed--pixes didn't show the snow removal----or I missed it---(do that every now & then)--ho
Deb, don't post your email addr here. Does Jo have it?
DEB---CO has always been a favorite of mine too---along with the ME nest!!----WHOA!!---I LOVE 'EM ALL!!!
Look at our nest. The way the sun is hitting and putting eagle in shadows, almost looks like a totally black eagle.
Good Morning Donnie, Suzanne,Jill, HarbingerDC, Sharon, Norma, Jim, & Deb...Looks like a great morning!
Off to the Dr. Appt. to check the eye one more time and then to Circle Meeting. Talk to you all later~~~~
oops, need to check the box for email follow-up
HEY SUZANNE!---When did she lay an EGG at CO?---I didn't know that???
Good morning, Iris! Hope you get a good bill of health for your eye! Enjoy your meeting.
Norma, are you serious? I thought I was a day late again. Don't know. I know it wasn't there yesterday when I was watching, so maybe she just laid it! I'll send you the pic!!! If you have Deb's email, forward it on to her.
It is 28 here, supposed to get to 39, the drifts in my yard are getting smaller. I posted the pictures, Norma. I used photobucket, Suzanne, I think you can look at them. Yes, I call Fort St. Vrain, Colorado, it seems easier to say. I was born in CO, so that will make it a favorite.
MORNIN' IRIS in 'SUNNY FL'----Best wishes on your Dr. visit!!!
Jo has my e-mail address. Morning, Iris.
WHOA DEB!!---It's 21° now---was 18°when I logged on---That's hard to believe!!!--WV colder than SD---That makes me feel COLDER! ho!
Thanks, Deb, I'll check pics in a few.
I sent the first CO egg pic to Norma. If she has your addr, she can forward pic to you. Don't post it here. If she doesn't have it, any momster that does?
OH SUZANNE!!---Those word verifications are are getting in your head!!---ho!----
Ok, Deb, sent pic to Jo to forward on to you. And Norma, you have a couple emails.
SUZANNE---I haven't check my mail today!---Will check!!
LOL, Norma, sometimes those words are hard to read. I ain't as young as I used to be!! When they make very thin letters, I usually mistype it and have to type something again. But the second time around, letters are thicker, so that's easier for me. ya get old, ya get blinder...
But I can STILL SEE EAGLE EGGS!!!!
:-)
Hello all:) Beautiful sunny day here, windy and cold. Check the NBG cam page later for an update, there was supposed to be a special chat session with one of the eagle experts today, but that info disapeared, and now it says in the special event chat room- The next scheduled event is 1 pm, Friday, 2/29. SO it must have been resceduled for tomorrow, but that's the only info I found so far.
TURKEYS---REALLY BIG TURKEYS--PA SITE!!
Good Morning, everyone! My boss is away today and tomorrow, so I may have more time to visit here. Keeping an eye on BWE also, as the time is getting near. THere's nothing cuter than a tiny little eaglet!
Good Morning!
If you can get the Two Harbors cam, they will be exchanging the eggs today!
Both eagles, our nest.
MORNIN' MEGAN!!---Thanks for the update---take notes --will miss it tomorrow---School levy here & workers get instruct. then!!
MORNIN' PAULA---What time?---I love watching that!!
Morning, Megan and Sunny! You're right Sunny, time is getting short for BW!!
Squigs is on cam, was sitting chewing bamboo, but now exploring. Ok, so now she's off cam, out and about. Here she comes.
Feeding again in Tesoro. Adult just left.
Morning, Paula and Sunny,
I can't get the Two Harbors nest, but know that one of the watchers there will make I video. At least, I can watch them. I saw where they are trying to figure out what to do for Mac users.
I don't know Norma. As soon as I find out, I'll post it here
Morning, Paula. You'll have to give us a commentary, that will be neat.
Morning, Megan. Missed your post.
Bai and ZZ are back in the hall. ZZ has learrned to get up and down that table, so she likes to do that. She just got down to take a piece of bamboo from mom, and climbed back on the table to chew it. She's adorable!!
OH---I can't get that!!---I forgot!
I saw the egg in FSV for a quick second. I am trying that instead of typing the whole name.
SUZANNE---She's a 'little imp' too!!----Would love to hold her!!----There are places you can hold or touch the animals---for a small fee---WOULD BE WORTH IT TO ME!!!
Suz - I won't be able to watch it :( I can't get neokast here at work - it won't work on Windows 2000 - so I am going to have to rely on others taping it, also.
Good Morning everyone after to list names I'll miss naming someone.
When I first looked at our nest. I thought would the heck an all "black eagle". It is like you said Suzanne the shadow of the limbs. Making our eagle look that way.
Getting alittle better here.
Glad I read before posting ( :
Ok Deb, works for me. Just wanted to be sure we were both talking about the same nest! FSV is quicker to type, too.
wow this is different. slows things back a bit.
Good Morning all. Just wanted to say Hi and to have a beautiful day.
You and me both, Norma! Love to give ZZ a big ol' hug and pet!!
Ok, Paula. Guess I'll see videos or pics sooner or later.
Morning Dana. Glad you're feeling better.
Does anyone know anything about ticks?
Morning, Anne! Stay warm in sunny CA today!
What about ticks? I got two bites last spring while I was out watching an eagle's nest.
GOOD MORNING SUNNY!!---Just saw your post!!--GREAT to have you back---even for a couple of days!!
Morning, Dana and Anne. Glad you are back, Dana, we missed you.
The latest from NBG-wvec-moderator: To elliminate any confusion, The live eagle chat will be this afternoon at 1:00. It was mistakenly posted for tomorrow afternoon, but that was an error. The chat with the eagle biologist will be at 1:00 today.
SUZANNE---I have made fewer mistakes while typing the verifications than typing a message!!----scary! huh!
I found one on my back this morning.. I guess I got it tromping after eagles. I pulled it out with my fingers and threw it . Now I cant find it. How long can they stay alive?
What's going on with the NCTC camera? When I try to bring it up I get a feed from 2/26 in the evening. Then when it refreshes the nest is snow covered and empty from back in January. What the heck?
Sunny has been my nick name since high school. I have to read twice to make sure its not me. LOL
Between my dogs and me, I have had quite a few ticks, unfortunately.
got to go and take the hot rollers out. I will be reading from work . Everyone have a beautiful day and make it one with smiles. Hugs.. zbtpzhk
MORNIN' DANA & ANNE!!---Have missed both of you!!----DANA---you know the DONKEYS are calling for you!--ho!! ---- ANNE---Don't forget your EGG!! ho!
Setting up cams bbiaw
WAX---FOR BLUEFIELD SHARON!!
I got a tick on my foot when I was at the sycamore tree! :)
Heidigirl (is it Anne?) I can't find your answer, but I don't think they will live very long without a host. Do you have pets?
GOOD MORNING EVERYONEjust finished yesterdays post, now headed to todays...BBL
Sunny is my alias. When I got sooo addicted to this blog two years ago, my co-workers read it also, and I didn't want them to see how much time I was obviously spending here!
Hi Norma!!
SUNNY--I am answering for ANNE---Yes--She has a dog named---HEIDI"!!
Now you can understand when you talk to her!!---takes awhile!!
Wow has anyone else got 2H on and it is pink?? Egg turning there..
MORNIN' HELEN---Wondered where you were----I think these verification words---make good cuss words!! ho!
I thought of you when I first saw them!!---No more --##%%&*)@??!!
Egg showing at FSV CO.
SUNNY---When I first logged on I made a nice comment about WV SEN. BYRD!!!!----Some one let me know that I couldn't talk politics on this BLOG, etc.---thus I became--NORMABYRD!!---
Norma, I was having a 'duh' moment. I knew Heidi was her dog, but I had a brain cramp. Thanks for straightening me out!
THANKS DANA!!---Check CO SITE---1 EGG LYING IN NEST!!!!
Norma, I always wondered if you were related to that Byrd. Is he stillin the hospital?
Morning, Helen. Hope you're feeling better today. It's cold out though, so stay in where it's nice and warm. FSV has their first egg this morning!
SUNNY---I thought her name was HEIDI for a long time!!!
I'm saying "hey hey out there.....can anyone hear me????
Does anyone else have Two Harbors (2H) up?? If so is it pink??
Eagle back on egg at FSV Co
Dana, I don't have Two Harbors up so I don't know if it is pink or not.
Heard you, Dana. Don't have it up. Can't help you.
I haven't read the paper this a.m.!!----
Me either, Dana.
DANA--I can never seem to get it up---sorry---I am no help!
Thank you Sharon, Deb, and Suzanne. I'm not sure .... maybe all this typing of code letters in. Has an early affect on a person lol. I am truly seeing pink...well not sure about truly lol
oppps got to type some more letters dang
ATLANTA CAM is up---They separated LUN LUN & MEI last night---went well---after breakfast MEI nursed for about 10 min.----The 'LITTLE BEAUTY' is sprawled out on her BACK on the top log of the hammock!!----SHE'S COOL---so far!!!
Looks like some kind of brunch has arrived. Don't even want to know what it is.
CHECK BC NEST!!----MT---But doesn't it look like an egg is in the nest or am I seeing things!--
Oh, Squigs is climbing! She's having a blast.
CO owl turning eggs. ZZ is having a blast. She sure loves to climb!
Egg turning and eating time!
Just stopped in for a minute to say GOOD MORNING TO EVERYONE. Busy getting the Eagle Express loaded up and my Mom has a doctor appt. this noon. So this is the last chance I have to take a peek at what is going on.
Belle's lunch looks very much like what Lib brought in the other day.
What is on today's menu ? :):)
Yes, Dana - TH is Pink today!
Hi Wanda sounds like your busy..Hope you get to check in with us lady. ( :
tfleet01
The whole FWS website went down yesterday. That is what is causing your funny picture issues. I would suggest refreshing a couple of times, or clearing your history in your browser
Morning, Wanda! If I don't talk to you, have a safe and very enjoyable trip! Hope the weather is a lot warmer out there than it is here. But just think, when you get back, Spring will be here. No more snow! You and Gene have a good time. We'll save you pictures of our hatchlings!
Oh, DANA, so good to see you'r back. How are you? Been worried.
Thank you Paula
Eagles at NBG
Yummy Belle
Heidi - you have to learn to flush those suckers!
Dana, you have pink, I have blue/purple. The PH site is very very blue.
Hanging in there Wanda..just happy I can get on the computer..missed everyone and the cams. Be Safe..hugs
Wanda & Capt
Have a wonderful trip!
Thank you SUZ. We are first headed to New Orleans, then to Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and then Ne vada. After that, who knows?
Maybe we are getting differnt colors (mine pink) Suzanne's (blue/purple) because it is close to Easter hee hee
How many eggs at 2 Habors? please
Good Morning! Everyone! Full House!
Trying to read before posting..but I'm still not finished. Got a phone
call from gals in Germany - I love hearing from them.
Beautiful day out and
BOTH EAGLES IN OUR NEST
Thank you all. I will miss you as much as my family. Well, you are my family!
Take care of that back DANA.
Wow, you guys are making a round robin! That should be a lot of fun! Stay safe. We need you back here in the spring for the nest visit!
Dana - 2 eggs at TH and PH!!
Norma - I think BC still just has snowballs in the nest! lol
They should be next for the eggs!
Safe Journeys Wanda & Capt Gene
Good Lord, finally caught up, going to look at cams now.....yes, Norma instant cussing:)!!!
Eagle at VA
ZZ is on her platform chewing a piece of bamboo.
Good morning, Jo! Hope you feel good today!
OK so does everyone know now where the Q X Z W V AND J are on the keyboard? HAHA
I do now, Paula:):):)!!!!
That kind of looks like a possum head in our nest
No we don't, Paula! NGRHB!!!!!!
I would not think that opossum would be very good eating, would you?
Rats, cam has gone down again -
SERVICE UNAVAILABLE
If you had forgotten where those keys were, it isn't taking long to remember them!
Wanda, have a good time, sounds like a fun route.
Now I don't have a pic?
And now it is back!
Whoa, did a refresh and lost the whole site... Service Unavailable. Was trying to get a better pic of whatever lunch was. Possum sounds as good as anything. Sure wasn't a fish, and kind of big for a squirrel.
Squigs is having a blast. Siting on her platform and climbing now with the bamboo in her mouth. She better not fall with that stick hanging out of her mouth!
having a hard time getting nest up
Ok, it's back!
Can;'t type this morning!
ok, it's up
She had to take her bamboo "treasure" up to a higher perch. Too cute.
Sharon - I would think possum would be just fine - it's meat!
Hey Jill - your name was in my last word verification!
Where's Norma? Atlanta girls are play fighting.
Keyboard skills: I always thought my fingers just automatically without thinking hit the correct keys as I thought out the words. Now, I really have to concentrate on the hitting the right letters for the word verification........ lol
What a hoot, she sure holds her own. She gives as good as she gets.
Me too, Mema Jo, and I type at least 8 hours every day!
HO HO Suzanne! Pretty good wrestling match going on! Where is our number 1 Panda fan,
Norma?
I have to get some things done, BBl.
LOLLY - whenever you sign on & read comments Anne (Heidigirl) can't access the blog from work so she emailed me to give you this message:
....please tell Lolly "welcome' for me and please tell her about beakpeak.com and the horned owl at CSUB. I love her and her babes should hatch soon. Thank you for helping me. I never think of these things except when I am at work and cant do anything about it. Hugs.
Finished all catch up on my emails from you all. Have to do other set later...too tiring.
Did not see an email explaining this "word verification"...can't figure out how it will keep spammers away. Anyone care to explain?
You can send me an email explaining if it's too long for here...
I have an appointment at 12:30pm.
Megan hope you can get in on the live Norfolk chat.... Get your questions ready!
Dana - glad your feeling up to getting back on the computer.
I guess I need to go to IWS forum - seems so early for the egg exchange but I guess not!
DON"T FORGET: BWE hatch date is
quickly coming...
Short Version Dana- Most spammers are auto programs and can't recognize or type the word verification. Those that are humanly operated don't want to take the time to do it.
Megan Could you put up the LINK for the Blog page explaining the
Word verification again?
Hope to see you back on Jo after your appointment. Praying all goes well..( :
The word verification explanation is on top of yesterday's blog, Wednesday Update. Right on the front page.
Before I forget, I will be here tomorrow, but not on the blog or watching cams. If BW hatches, take pics and send to me!!! We have annual training tomorrow, and our duty hours at 9-5! Ugh and double ugh. Person that set this up was not thinking of the shifts we work here, so EVERYBODY is working 9-5. Not sure my body is gonna be awake much after 3, let alone 5. Then that should give me about a 3 hour or more drive home in traffic. And will not be able to use the HOV lane, so that should also add some time. Not looking forward to tomorrow duty day at all. I'm coming in early, but not 4 o'clock early. Closer to 6... still have to park, and our shifts here also help the parking problem.
So if we get a chick, please let me know. But unless we get snow and/or ice tonight I will be in, but don't worry. I'm just not online. I'm gonna miss everybody!
BW egg turning now!
Paula, I think you're right about the brunch! You can see leftovers pretty good now with the sun finally off of it. Looks like a black and white furry something, so I'm guessing you hit it with possum!
maybe skunk?????
Hi, everybody, I'm back again...trouble sleeping, so when I got the urge, I went for it...
That sounds like a real ordeal they have planned for your Friday work day, Suz.
Any place you can snooze or whatever until the rush hour traffic lets up?
Have a safe trip home both days and have a great weekend.
[:~)]
Jim
Don't know, Jim. Did think of getting a hotel since I'm gonna be tired, but not too sure. I'm bringing extra "go" juice tomorrow, cause I don't want to fall asleep driving home. We'll see how I feel at quitting time. At least I don't have to be here at 4, that's something, I guess. Hope you're feeling better!
I was thinking of a hotel also, Suz, then you could have gotten up and gone to the ZOO
I was on the phone so long my "EAR" is warm!---ho!---couldn't get off!!---an old friend!!!
I THOUGHT OUR EAGLES WERE DINING ON RABBIT!!----Was rabbit ruled out!---MORNIN' JO!!---Are WANDA & GENE leaving today!!---WHAT A WONDERFUL TRIP----ENJOY KIDS!!
Suzanne, what town do you work in again? I know I have heard it a million times but my brain isn't working
SAFE JOURNEY HOME SUZANNE & LOVE PATS TO "G" & HER GIRL FRIENDS!!
SUZANNE---POSSUMS aren't black & white----They are a dirty white color!!
Time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle/panda day. If I don't get to talk to anybody tomorrow, have a great weekend. Take pics of our first local baby at BW!!!
Jill, I actually work right on the border of Alexandria and Falls Church. Way too close to downtown, actually.
Mits, never thought of that. I'll have to think about it tonight! Sure isn't much traffic going back on a Saturday, is there. Man, that does seem like a good idea. We'll see.
Ok all, have a great day and weekend, just in case.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Norma - it could be rabbit! Who Knows?!?!
The Split is coming!!!
LOl zippo hippo
Norma, will pet the kids twice for you, just in case I do stay here tomorrow. possums have black on them, don't they? That little bugger that hangs around my house has some. I think.
Suz, probably part skunk:):)
No one is on the egg in FSV. It looks like it is sunny, and we know the egg can be left for a time at the beginning.
Split!
