«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 382 of 382Link for intruder is on the fortheloveofeaglesforum some of you are members of under Norfolk. Or yes just head on over to the Maine forum.
Hope you can see it Jim...great video.
The link I put on is Glo's video of the attack.
Iris - if you could put in for Tess and Oro at the Tesoro nest...sure would make a lot of people happy! Name came from Hancock forum...I don't know who...
Iris - good luck with your surgery tomorrow!
BEWARE
BLOGGER COP IS AROUND
HE IS THE REAL INTRUDER ON HERE
My last comment was mainly to you, Iris...
I was commenting about Double Voting. I mentioned that if I would win I think I get a free golfing session and I wanted to be sure that you would drive the cart for us if we're splitting the prize! lol
Sorry Jim I got the link from address bar for that you tube video. I am glad someone came on here finally and put it here. We are always talking on here about different cams. A lot like the Norfolk cam so colorful.
When I seen them panning in and out I knew something was wrong. So I started heading for different forums I have in my favorities. To see who was talking about Norfolk.
Poor BELLE she is in for along night too.. Daughter called closed so no work...Its almost a white out here cant see across the road... Just gona set back and watch and shut up awhile..
Thanks Wanda and Paula, for the good wishes and prayers.
I will put in Tess and Oro for all those that wish...Actually, I goofed and put in Tess and Oreo...must have been hungry??? It was one of the entries I put in, so I will go ahead with the other.
Well, what is the weather in Norfolk, probably milder than in West Virginia, so 45 minutes should not be too long.
has anybody been watching the hummingbirds? They look like they are trying to learn how to fly.
OK, Stay Warm ..
Sure glad you can stay home, Nilla
...... BBL
Those are pretty fierce attacks...am I right that it is a male attempting to take over and the pair male defending??
Reminds me of the male intruder at Maine at the end of last season.
Good news: I checked the weather... 57°, so the eggs are probably OK.
[:~)]
Jim
Nilla - glad you get to stay home!
Iris - ROFLMAO at Oreo
Belle just did a big ol shake to get that snow off!
OK, have added Tess and Oro as possible names for the Tesoro eaglets.....
Is the eagle gone again from Norfolk?
Belle appears to be tenting now..
I was looking at the Norfolk pic now, and I can see one eagle, female I think, on the far side of the nest, but I can't see the male now. Anybody know where the male has gotten to?
[:~)]
Jim
Jo, I will drive you around anytime, anywhere golf cart or car!! Too bad 2 people won't fit on my jitney!!!
Belle's getting buried pretty quickly now.
[:~)]
Jim
WOW!! I'm back! 3 eggs,huh? how cool:) snowing and sleeting hard here right now, darn weather.
I THINK ANOTHER ATTACK AT NORFOLK GOING ON RIGHT NOW
MEGANNNNNNNNNNN DID YA GET FASTER INTERNET
Nilla, what makes you think that? I don't see any eagles at Norfolk now.
[:~)]
Jim
Belle has those wings really spread out.
They are really searching for some sign of the eagles at Norfolk. Hope all it OK there soon!
Howdy Megan!! We have missed you!
because they are panning and Dana n i both see eagle wings now b then
Jim - both the male and female have been defending against the intruder. It is not known if the intruder eagle is a male or female.
Looks like a wet parent at Tesoro
Sorry both phones ringin here.. Now Jim i was talking to Dana and we both saw mom take off and then several times a glimpse of wings in the right hand corner
Megan gal how you doing??? Happy to see you!! Are you on the cable internet??
JimWhen they pan way out at Norfolk. In the upper right hand corner you could see eagles wings. They kept flying around up in the right hand corner. But they didn't pan enough to catch the fight.
well i might as well go for 300 n wax!!!!
ok who got it Dana???? lol now we can grease our sleds up and go for a ride...lolllll
WHAT AMAZES ME IS how the eagle can tell in an instant that.... thats not their mate flying Truely amazing
One of the parents at Norfolk just flew into the nest and is on the eggs again.
[:~)]
Jim
Hello everybody!! Yes, I am using broadband now. First time I've been on the internet in days. Trying to figure out how to get a wireless connection for daughter's computer, can't get it to work yet..argg.. I'll figure it out.
Another big ol shakeoff by Belle
Thanks, Paula. Do you think it could be an intruder pair?? That would get both of the resident eagles involved.
Just an impression, but I thought the third attack, where the attacker gets pushed out of the nest, was between the males. What did you think?
[:~)]
Jim
Ain't it great, Megan!
Megan I am so happy for you ( :
Now you will be able to see the "live feed" whenever we get it. That is exciting!!!
I don't know, Jim. Hard to tell the parents apart from a further distance.
For Example, that looked like Dad before it sat on the eggs, now it looks like Mom.
Megan, I hope you enjoy the speed. Don't forget to give us momsters your new address.
[:~)]
Jim
WELCOME BACK MEGAN...GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK!
Actually, Jim, a lot of times they say it is between females. Remember Monica attacking Martha?
It looks like it might have stopped snowing there - no new white on Belle's back for a while?? Does anyone know if that is possible...
Hi Megan, glad you finally got Hight Speed Access - you will LOVE it!!! Welcome back.
Yes, Paula. Some pairs, I can tell the difference most of the time, but other pairs, I never know which one it is...unless you have the other sex to compare it to.
[:~)]
Jim
Bw cams are back up. Megan, congrats on finally getting the cable guys to your house!
Megan we had problems like that too. I finally ended up calling the company and it was a simple button push. What type of router do you have?
It's a linkys router, and I'm sure we are just missing something, just haven't figured it out- but she couldn't wait and is sitting on the floor using a cord to link to the router right now.
bbaw
Heading home...TTUL
I am sure you have already tried this but if not, unplugged the router from the modem and plug it back in. Or check for a reset button on the back. Oh wait 20 sec before plugging it back in. Her computer is set up with a wireless adapter right?
Thanks- I will try that as soon as I can get her to stop viewing ridiculous youtube videos. Yes, her computer has a wireless adapter.
HELLO MEGAN I need to read up on the past 40 comments to see how you are doing.
Iris, it has stopped for now. Very light snow - swept off the deck with the broom.
Just saw the 5:00 egg roll..
If the router has more than one hole to plug into and the unplug thing doesn't work, try plugging into a different spot. I am trying to remember all the things we have had to do to get ours back online. (I know what you mean about You Tube, Zach never stops)
Eagle off nest at Norfolk again. I looked away for a second and it was gone.
I see what Janet thought was a wing in the right corner but it almost looks like a branch from another tree. I dont' know. Strange a "wing" keeps showing up in that same place.
Adult back in the nest now. "Wings" are gone in the corner. Maybe there is a tree there the intruder keeps going too. I don't know.
Hey Jill yeah she flew off the nest and there was fighting in the sky to the right your could clearly see the wings..Although i have been knowed to see things unclearly so ill just set back and watch... Now she is back but edgy .. Belle is honkered in sleeping head behind wing.. maybe she knows she is in for along night ahead...
You are probably right NIlla but isn't it strange they fight in the same place every time? I think there must be a tree there or something that they are flying too.
True but i was on phone talking with Dana and WE both saw samething at sametime ... at same area in sky... Oh well doesnt matter she is safe in the nest now.... I had asked eariler or rather stated that i found it amazing that they can reconize a intruder immediately... but apparently no one thought i was worth answering if they knew...
I guess they see each other the way we see other humans. Maybe we all look the same to them. I don't know. I think you probably did see wings, I also thing the intruder is in a tree just out of camera view to the right.
Nilla - I really don't think anyone knew the answer to your question or statement concerning how they knew it was an intruder and that is the only reason you didn't receive any replys.
Like Jill said - they probably think we humans look all the same! lol
I think we are all waiting for the DGIF biologist to sort all this out and post on his blog.
We must remember that the NBG eagle couple is in a new nest & could be in another eagles territory. That would explain the intruder in a nut shell. Glo said they weren't very friendly neighbors!
I don't think they moved the nest that far away from the old one to be in another eagles territory.
Here the answer to that from the DGIF blog - this is from the post talking about the new nest
"Although the new nest was within view of the old camera location, the picture was far from perfect. We played a waiting game to be certain that the birds would actually utilize the new nest. Once we were all reasonably sure that this was indeed the place the camera was moved to provide good coverage. The new nest is approximately 70 yards to the NW of the original site."
BIG BUCK ON WILD LIFE CAM PA
Maybe somebody should built them a fence so they will be better neighbors. LOL.
Thanks for the info Paula.
Just a free bird then being the intruder... They did say it is usually a female eagle that does this.
I guess your right Jo just like we know our mates atleast ya'll know yours i dont have 1 maybe thats why im so grumpy...lolllll MAYBE I SHOULD PUT OUT A SQUAWK SQWEEK OR HONK TO FIND ONE...LOLLL
OK im fluffin up my tail feathers and preenin my wings.. Lil dash of perfume between my ears..lol Is that hows is done been so long...lolllll
Bad legged deer in PA
YAY - looks like sleet and rain has ended for now...
Nilla - if you are fluffing feathers and preening, then I think you need fishy cologne! ;)
HAHAHA..THAT or roll around in dead animal some wheres...lol Hang a turtle shell around my neck... Learn the hankey pankey dance..lol(MAYBE SHARON CAN TEACH ME SHE SEEN IT MANY TIMES) tell ya i feel so bad if it wasnt snow out i would go back to hospitol but trying to keep smilin helps alittle if this cough would subside!!
Both Kent camera have such clear pictures this evening. Would be great if Cam 3 would be hooked up to server so we had a view down in the nest...
Did you read that Tom put camera 2 in that spot so when they build up the nest the camera will show the full nest? I hope they get to work soon!!
Nilla, Zinc drops are great for a cough. But get the flavored ones, the regular are nasty.
Okay Panda Lovers, coming in June, Kung Fu Panda. Dreamworks movie about a fat clumsy panda turned into a Kung Fu warrior. (Think Karate Kid in panda form). Just saw a commercial on tv.
Hope it looks better than Robopanda!
Jill i saw that advertisment on TV its cute... Jazzy loves cartoons SpongeBob being her fav.. I see our citys finest has been busy Jill ... 3 hots n a cot so they have aplace to get out of the weather..lol
Oh Paula this movie looks like fun.. Your oldest grandson should love it also... Im watching American idol cuts... Its Brutal.... OMG this guy from NC and he is good... BUT ... silence in the room... ok here we go...LOL that black fat guys Jeffery is going nuts HE MADE IT!!!
Nilla this guy Michael is good
Theres the winner of the whole show he is named Micheal.. i picked Taylor Hicks from the auditions ... wink
Our eggs are showing and parent is right there..hummm Now parent just laid down and really spread wings out.
O Bama has won the Va primary
Nilla have you brought any of Taylor Hicks cd's??
Was Michael the one that sang the Queen song? Simon said best of the day?
Oh no Kung Fu Panda is cute. Robopanda was scary.
Man look at that tenting now!
NILLA
I went over and got this report for you concerning the NBG commotion today.. Enjoy
VDGIF link for biologists posts
Hi again.
They should have sound at Norfolk, especially when something like today's territorial challenge happens. Last year's attempted takeover at the Maine site was a lot more comprehensible with the sound cranked up. And accomplished viewers can tell which sex is involved by the sound of the calls (I can't...yet).
Anyway, that was pretty exciting, and it would have been much more so if we could tell who was who and what was what.
Belle looks "set" right now and "in charge," but there's supposed to be more bad weather tonight and tomorrow.
I guess I'll sign off for the evening...
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE...
SLEEP WELL AND WAKEN TO A BEAUTIFUL MORNING WITH SUZANNE AND THE EARLY BIRDERS REPORTING....
[:~D]
Jim
Poor Belle is doing her best Dana to provide coverage and warmth for the eggs... She is awake
Thanks, Nilla, I'm going to take a look now, sound interesting.
Jim
What's the weather doing down there in Martinsburg now??????
Suzanne will probably have another day off if the freezing rain is coming.
27.5 degrees. No precipitation.
Thank you Jo for bringing that information about NBG over to this blog.
The blog is doing weird things, posted a comment of mine from this afternoon. Thanks for the info, Jo.
HA HA HA DEB!
Did that for me one day.
Now: I am getting things on this blog
Oldest Older 201 - 297 0f 297
& our comments are starting at 3:30
WEIRD I AM ABOUT TO SIGN OFF!!!
SHEWW. THought I was losing it. But if I am you all are losing it with me. Mine did the same thing, divided them up. Does make it easier to find the newest blogs.
Hampshire, Mineral County WV on 2 hour delay. Didn't see any others that affected our WV/MD Momsters.
Video on the DGIF blog about todays Norfolk events...
DGIF Blog
This blog has gone berserk!
It is 10:00 pm
WOW Belle lifted her head
She is still tenting big time
yes, I have it too, just shows the last 100 posts...guess it makes it easier for those on dialup
I see Jo posted the link too
Hahaha. My blog was normal until I came back from reading the stuff Nilla's link sent me to. Now it's broken up into groups of 200 comments.
Jim
Freezing rain here now...
Your Welcome Dana - His report helps us understand a little bit of what is happening down there.
The blog has been affected by the weather I think lol newer or newest is said lol lol
Oh Paula - it is precipitating here in the valley also.....
Temp is around 22°
I have older & oldest lol
WE HAVE A LIGHT FREEZING RAIN falling right now at 24°. Just doesn't look good for Belle. Do you all remember the story of the Elephant that sat on an egg for a friend and the friend never came back? She sat on that egg through wind, rain, snow, sleet (just like Belle) and when the egg hatched, it was a flying elephant.
Maybe all this weird stuff that is happening on the blog has something to do with our new Live Feed. A new format, maybe?
We will have to check Blogger updates, maybe it is something they just implemented.
Wanda, it was a Dr. Suess book. Horton Hatches An Egg or Horton Hears a Who. I dont' remember the name used to read it to the boys all the time.
I think our rain will start anytime. Last check it was not raining. Now if my oldest son would just come home. They just had to go to Hagerstown. Exactly when to kids start acting like they have good sense????????
Nothing on blogger updates. I think you have a while before sense settles in, Jill!! :(
Wanda - Dumbo was a little flying elephant BUT that isn't the story you're remembering, is it?
I don't see anything on the Blog home page about anything new other than 3 new languages. HUMMM
Thanks Jill
Now I remember the book....
OH Well I can hope can't I Deb?
Yes I think Wanda may have her children's story combined. Although Horton might have tried to fly.
Where did you two just go to look for any blogger updates?????????
From Wikipedia
Horton the Elephant is a fictional character from the books Horton Hatches the Egg and Horton Hears a Who, both by Dr. Seuss. Horton is a kind, sweet-natured elephant who cares about other animals or people. Though he goes through many hardships, whether trying to keep an egg warm through storms, rough travels, and humiliating shows or trying to save a small planet from harm, he always triumphs; the egg hatches into an elephant-bird, while the planet is saved and respected by the others.
Back to the main page that lists the days, then Dashboard.
Weather wise it is like Jill said IF we can just make it to Valentine's day The Sun Will Shine
Thursday
Sunny. Highs in the lower 40s. West winds 10 to 15 mph.
I am fearful to go back to the main page just now to look not knowing if I could return!
Channel 5 said it was up to 50 in some of their viewing area, can somebody tell me where? I sure can't find it.
Jo you will get back. If not just click on your link, it will bring you right back.
Obama, McCain win Maryland, D.C. primaries
Oh my goodness, I stand corrected. You are absolutely right. I have Horton and Dumbo combined. LOL Kinda like it that way.
It is doing it on all the pages with more than 200 posts. Must be something new.
Although Wanda if you read the excerpt, the egg that Horton hatches is a flying elephant bird so maybe that is what you were thinking. After I thought for a second I thought maybe Horton flew but it was the baby.
PS: Maybe you should start writing childrens books.
Jill, I will go there after I say my good nights.
As long as you have this saved as a favorite you will come right back to it when you click on it. It won't change your favorites.
Jo I just kept clicking back and got to the front page. I refreshed nothing new about live feed. To get back here I click on "newest".Bingo here I am!
Wanda = the live feed has nothing to do with the blog...
YOU GOTTA GO HERE
BEDTIME STORY
Ok, 65 more comments and we get a new page....
I don't know if I am sticking
around to see that happen lol
DID ANYONE SEE THE
BEDTIME STORY YET??
YES JO I WATCH THE STORY The only part that I didn't like was when the fish put a gun to his head and shot himself.
I thought I just heard the news say 51° at Ocean City. I must be hearing things after that cartoon lol
I watched it, too. Now how did I miss the fish shooting himself?? I must have blocked it out! Maybe, I was watching Horton turn green.
Oh Dana I didn't watch the whole carton From what you are saying
BaD Jo I better watch & maybe
delete comment..... Be right Back
Channel 5 did say somewhere in the viewing area it was 50 degrees. OC would be in the viewing area, so at least this time you aren't hearing things.
I'll leave the link there just in case Wanda wants to watch it....
The fish was dumb!
Loved the Bedtime Story, thanks Jo!!!
Time for me to close down....
For some reason - our CAM
Time is running but Picture looks
frozen..........
Hey there Night Owl Iris!
Don't stay up too much after midnight
Let us hear from you later tomorrow OR just let Dean type us a message!
((Hugs)) to you!
Belle just moved her head Jo
Well we'll just have to delete that one part Jo. Rest of video was greattttttt !! Thank you for posting a BEDTIME STORY for me. I will sleep better now I just know it. ty Jo ( :
JO WAIT THERE ARE OUR EGGS !@!!A
Before I leave for the evening
Uno the beagle wins Westminster, first time for the breed. Uno the beagle won Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show, the first time for the breed. He also became the first beagle to win the hound group at Westminster since 1939.
Oh Good the other day when I watched and then in the newpaper. They were saying the beagle might win.......oh that is great.
Oh Dana thank you for catching me in time. I had put the cam down but I now see that she has moved!
Geeeeeeeeesh! Thanks again!
Now I can sleep better.....
I use to train beagles to hunt. I just love them. They are wonderful dogs.
Night Jo see you sometime in AM
and thank for my bedtime story ( :
Now I can say
Good Night
Peaceful dreams & restful sleep
Lots of special prayers going up this
evening
Come on this way you 50° weather!
Night, everyone. I am signing off also.
Dana, Dean used to train beagles to hunt too. He had two when I met him - Patticake and Joyce.... I used to say they came first and then me!!!! Do you know where I can read about this?
Jo, thanks for the bedtime story! That is the one I was thinking of. My grandchildren all loved that story. I had to talk like Horton, or they would be upset with me. I was thinking the egg that hatched was Dumbo, but that is another story. Perhaps you can find that for us tomorrow night.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
LOTS OF PRAYERS
SO GLAD THE BEAGLE WON!
Good night all!
Eagle facing right now...still tenting.
12.01a.m. and it looks like it may be snowing or possibly raining again. She is tenting pretty wide. and there is a little accumulation on her upper back.
1:22am Belle is still tenting big time.. Head is pointing towards
3:00 position.
I suppose that when they tent like that there isn't a wing to tuck ther head under. Man oh Man Belle sure could use a pillow of fluff under her head. What an Eagle!!!
Off to bed......
Had to come back & tell you that she moved her head from one side to the other and then looked straight up at the cam and stared at me... I sure wish I could help her out!
2:30 Still tenting a bit. Not raining here at the moment but it has, I can see the ice accumulation on the side walk that wasn't there earlier. Poor Poor Belle.
She is still tenting...her head forward. I'm sure all bird go through this, but it tugs at my heart to watch it. I know that she will be fine and is doing everything correctly for her eggs!
Just got up with rain hitting my windows and feeling a little better and went to school today. I saw the snow/sleet on poor Belle earlier in the day and just had to come and see if she was ok now. My heart goes out to her as she fights this battle with nature to save her eggs. My prayers are with her tonight as she continues this fight.
I can see that others have the same feeling that I do. Hoefully everything will start to go their way after this.
It's an icy mess here, still raining and it freezes as soon as it hits the ground. All the schools are closed. I feel for Belle, thre's still some major rain coming through.
GOOD MORNING MEGAN AND ALL OTHERS THAT WILL BE ON VIGIL AT THE SHEPHERDSTOWN NEST. I was sure hoping that I would get up this morning to someone saying that it had started to get better weather up there for our eagles. Poor Belle is really tenting now, trying to keep the rain and ice off her eggs. I hope that she gets help from Liberty dudring the day with this task or is brought in some nourishment.
I'll be lurking from school today. We just have rain and high winds here. Makes me wish I could change laces for the day with the nest.
Have to get to school. You all stay inside and stay off the ice. It looks like SUZANNE did the same today. Stay safe and warm.
Oh I am such an eagle basket case. LOL. No one in here to even say good morning too yet. Woke up half an hour ago and couldn't go back to sleep. I wanted to and then I didn't want to check out the nest. Well it doesn't look as bad as I had invisioned it might look so for that I am very grateful. I have to go into work this afternoon so will be a busier morning now. Seems we have sickness at work too so I need to cover an extra shift. Wishing you all a great day. Peaceful and restful would be good actually.
Sandra, Mits, Sharon, Nilla, and Vicky and Iris with her surgery You are all in my prayers today as well as those for which I have no specific things to pray for, He knows your needs and is faithful so consider yourself as a Momster or dadster lifted up in prayer to start the day.
Have a good day, Candy. We are in a winter weather warning until 11 am. Still raining and it freezes as it hits the ground, and there is still a big patch of rain coming at us. Belle has turned around in the nest and is really tenting. I haven't been able to make it down my deck steps yet. Now that it's light out, I'm going to try to go feed my birds.
LOL OK where did all those posts come from. I swaer id Did refresh the bLOG before my input. Why there are lots of you on here, well off an don, I thikn you are all eagle basket cases. These birds have absolutley no idea what they have done to us.
OK gonna have to add a prayer for safe warm day for each and every one of you. It is once again -11 here to start my day. I will add a little prayer for some kind of warm to get itself here. My dogs are not gonna be happy campers when we had outside and neither am I now thatI look at the temp :(. OK I just want it all to stop. be safe all.
Looks like parents united on our nest. :)That bird looks big,like Belle. Do you suppose :ob was on the nest last night?
Poof gone and same parent there.
Megan,I hope you made it out to feed your birds and back in safely. Down here, we can throw sand on our walks if we get ice and does the trick. I see GLO is also in this morning and WANDA is still sleeping.
Hope Sandra, Nilla,Mits, Sharon and all you others are starting to feel much better. I felt so bad, I haven't been on the blog since early Sat, but have the cam on our nest and will be watching today at school.
Try and have a good day. I hope Steve comes on and gives you a new thread before the site blows up! :) Later Gators.
good morning! I'm heading into work late. The roads here in Inwood,WV are covered with ice. I see Belle is tenting to keep the eggs covered.
OK I have just seen that my BLOG is only loading 100 posts at a tiem with a newere older chocie to click at the bottom. Not sure if its a new google thing, something Steve has set up OR heck its early enough that it oculd have always been like this BUT I don't think so. No Wonder someone who is already a basket case gets confused.
Not sure who just flew in either. The way the cam hits the birds when they are up close makes them look so much larger than the one towards the back. The parent tenting is doing a wonderful job and doesn't seem to want to move from the eggs right now. The other parent made a visit and probably offered an exchange but no takers right now. Both are weathering the storm OK at this point though.Its always good to see them both at the nest.
Please be safe in your travels today everyone! I know I certainly don't want to go outside and fall again like I did last time!
Ok, made it out and back, still raining here hard. It's only 27° here, so it is really icy. Ice skates would work better here than boots. Just watched 2 hawks catch a bird of some kind. Can't decide if they were hunting together or fighting over the catch. One took it and flew off, other is still out front in tree.
STEVE HAS GIVEN US A NEW THREAD; COME ON OVER...
*******************************
********************************
When I wokw up this morning the "nightlight" was on, so the now looked better. I can't say that now, now that it light out
I get uneasy feelings about the snow...
new thread! Come on over!
Danelle, hope you got to work safely and please, don't fall again!! Take it very easy on the way home too please. That goes for everyone that has to be out in that mess.
I'm sure glad I am in rainy FL this morning so I don't have to fight that ice!!!
Thank you all for your prayers, will let you know how thing went as soon as I am able...
Hugs to all and prayers for those that need them...
