Good Morning to everyone

Indiana Nesting Eagles-----Dave

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning Dave...
Good Morning Steve....Thanks for the new thread.

Costume Lady said...

HOLDING THE DOOR OPEN, SUZ (AS DANA WOULD SAY).
She left us 2 nights ago with something wrong with her back and we haven't heard from her since. I sent her an email and asked her to let us know how she was...haven't heard anything yet.

Suzanne said...

Thanks for the new thread, Steve, and the KILL!

Good morning, Dave, thanks for the heads up, and Wanda for holding the door! Hope Dana's alright. She often has problems with her back. I know when mine hurts, can't do much of anything.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning everyone. It is snowing in Bluefield and it is really hard to say how much we are going to get. We have about 2 inches now and the heavy snow warning is in effect in 6 a.m. tomorrow.

Suzanne said...

Oh, eagle just flew off, NBG.

Suzanne said...

Good morning, and oh joy, Sharon. Keep it down there, will you?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yeah, I really hope it does not come to Shepherdstown.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SHARON...
We aren't expecting anything more than a few snow showers Friday at least for the rest of this week. It is 33°right now.

glo said...

Good morning. Hmmm lets see snow. I remember snow. I am in between snow storms. I need to decide now before a cup of coffee whether to try to walk across the street, or drive across the street for coffee and dog treats. I do have path shoveled but it got very cold last night so my path is now a ocmbination of ice and snow. I do have cat litter on the path and am just waiting for the neighborhood cats to stop by. Lucky for me I think most of them have been in the house all winter.

normabyrd said...

Costume Lady said...

It is a beautiful snow in Bluefield,WV. Is it still snowing there, Sharon?

Costume Lady said...

BLOGGER COP IS AWAKE........SAVE YOUR LOOOOONG POSTS.

Costume Lady said...

Ever notice that the Blogger Cop doesn't take the short posts?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

My dogs went out but surely didn't stay long. I truly like the eau' de wet dog scent they are emitting this morning!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

It is still snowing in Bluefield, Wanda.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING NORMA...
It is bright and sunny here near Belle and Lib. Bless their hearts, they deserve some good weather. They are so faithful to each other and the nest.

Costume Lady said...

Didn't you tell us, one time, Sharon that you like the snow?

Costume Lady said...

Glo, I have forgotten why you go across the street. Is it a neighbor that you visit?

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' INDIANA DAVE--WANDA---SUZANNE---SHARON & GLO!!---(drive--you don't want to fall on the ice)

glo said...

Yes Wanda The dogs and I head over to a enighbors for coffee and dog treats every morning...I think someone asked if they don't have money over there for donuts HEEE HEEEE. And now that one of my dogs is on a special diet I actually bring the dog treats over with me.

normabyrd said...

ALL IS WELL with the 'LITTLE PRINCE'----He is eating his bamboo so fast---He has to hold it in both hands!----bite here!---bite there!---& he looks so serious when he is eating!!----GOOD MORNIN' TAI!!!!

normabyrd said...

ME--MT NEST---But they have had some snow during the night!!

floralgirl said...

Morning everyone:) Nice sunny am here,chilly but at least it's snow free!

normabyrd said...

PA SITE---MT-----HEY! LYNNE---Have missed you---You aren't SNOWED in are you????

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' BEAUTIFUL MEGAN!!---Aren't we lucky to have missed the snow this a.m.----But think it's on it's way!!!---I saw on the news--BOONESBORO has started to rebuild the town!!!

normabyrd said...

BC SITE---1st pic---shows EAGLE sitting on a SNOWY nest----The pic now shows an MT nest with a bare spot where the EAGLE sat during the night!!

floralgirl said...

Yep, Norma, only a chance of snow showers here today. This is the first winter I can remember when we didn't get enough snow to go sledding. But now I'm ready for Spring. Long, slow process in Boonsboro, luckily library and town hall just suffered smoke damage, the other 3 buildings are a real mess. Looks very strange there right now.

floralgirl said...

In case you haven't seen this from the NBG cam page...Special Eagle Cam Event: Join us for a moderated live chat session with biologist Reese Lukei, Thursday, 2/28 at 1:00 pm Eastern. Get your questions about the eagles ready!

normabyrd said...

CAROL---Just heard this on NPR---
SENECA ROCKS will be opening April 16, for TOUR thru Nov. 2, 2008!!!-------

normabyrd said...

normabyrd said...

1 BURROWING OWL AT KENT!!!

normabyrd said...

DANA---There is a PACE of DONKEYS eating this morning!!----We all MISS you & pray you are feeling better!!

Suzanne said...

Good morning, Glo, Norma, and Megan. Nice to see everyone here this morning. Norma, just head some news downstairs, Senator Byrd went to the hospital yesterday. He fell Monday, and was in some pain, but I think he's going to be released later today. He's 91! Hope if I live that long, I'm in as good a shape as he is!

Suzanne said...

When did the PA cam come back? I couldn't get it the last couple of days. First they get an award, then they get suspended, then I got not found for days. Now it's back. Let's hope it stays for a while this time!

normabyrd said...

TAI is now curled up snoozing on "HIS GRATE" under the evergreen tree!!!----HE IS SO COOL!!

MITS said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE Megan, do me a favor please and send me an e-mail. I remember when you sent your new address, but was still under the influence of pain meds, and probably did not copy it correctly, whenever I send you an e-mail it has been bouncing back to me...thanks

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE----I was going to post that fact that my FAVORITE SENATOR fell at his home----His AIDES insisted he see a Dr. when he came to work the next day!!---SENDING HIM MY PRAYERS!!

floralgirl said...

ok, Mits, will do. My old adress should still work for a week, since my old internet provider refuses to turn off service and just charge me to the day I tried to cancel 2 weeks ago. Any way they can suck another dollar out of my wallet...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Normabyrd, I immediately thought of you when I saw that Robert C. had fallen.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' HELEN!!---Must be chilly at the NZOO!!---Little TAI is snuggled up on his grate!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Megan, I need your address too!

MITS said...

Bluefield looks like a winter wonderland

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mits, it sure does look like a winter wonderland. I went to the store yesterday and got the necessities. I have no intention of leaving this house today.

Last night, something kept blowing a fuse in my house and the lights kept going out. Thank God for Beverly's husband Tom. He came out and fixed it for me. Also, my furnace had been out for a week and I had to get a new part yesterday and he fixed that too.

normabyrd said...

OH YEAH SHARON!!!---WV would certainly miss BYRD!!!--

Sunny said...

testing.....

normabyrd said...

Can't imagine what it was like in FL yesterday!!---DAVIN'S electric didn't go off!!----Bet IRIS didn't lose hers either!!---THERE WERE PEOPLE STUCK IN ELEVATORS!!---WHOA----Wouldn't that be terrible???

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Sunny, you passed the test!

normabyrd said...

WHOA SUNNY!!---We want more than a test!!!!!!!!----Have missed you!!--

Sunny said...

OMG! I can post from work. I tried everything at home last night, and finally gave up. But now I think I know what the problem was, and it was operator error. hmmm...

Anyway, HI! I'm anxiously awaiting some hatchings. I'm going to be away from my computer most of the weekend, so I'll miss some of the excitement at BWE. But...I'll be in Shepherdstown, so maybe I'll drive by the nest.

Have a great day everyone!

MITS said...

Sunny gets an A+

Bird Girl said...

Hey everyone...just peeking in..

FYI, I'm 90% sure that Chrissy lives in Devonshire, which is on the opposite side of where the quake is.

(I only think that because we talked about how close she lives to places in my ancestry)

Wishing good weather to everyone, supposed to be 80 degrees today. That's right, EIGHTY! WooHoo!! It's usually 90 by the end of March.. Baby bird season is about a week away now :)

I have back problems too (remember when I was on PERKY-SET, longtimers??) and actually threw it out again about two weeks ago (Demerol & Skelaxin this time, woohoooweeee!!). a day or two of bedrest is not uncommon, but longer than that can actually hinder recovery. mine is doing a lot better but i know it's not right. i hope hers is not really bad...

found some interesting pictures on the net i'll send them around soon :) my pc died a horrible death a couple of weeks ago so i'm using hubby's pc until i can rebuild mine and get my hard drives back! {sigh}

take care all i'll peek in again soon i hope...

As always, I remain,

Your very own,

Bird Girl

Bird Girl said...

p.s. looks like some fresh pine needles in our nest, everything looks A-OK

BG

normabyrd said...

I see a 'grey head' & a 'beak' ROCKING at TESORO!!---

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Delphia, I do remember your Perky-Set! :)

floralgirl said...

My brain is operating like it's on perky-set this morning.... Helloo Bird Girl and Sunny-nice to see you here again:)

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' BIRD GIRL!!---GREAT to hear from you---we don't care whose computer you are using!! ho!----Still smile every time I see that 'BEAUTIFUL CHICK'----Hope your back heals fast!!

IrisF said...

WoW 62 comments already! Good Morning Everyone!!!

IrisF said...

Have to read back and see if there was any word yet from Chrissy then get a cup of tea this morning.bbs

MITS said...

when I got released from hospital, they had me on Miss Vi-key-din, made me hyper:)

Suzanne said...

Good morning Helen, and wow, even our very own BirdGirl! And hi Sunny, haven't seen you for a while! It's like old home week now, how cool. I've been out of the loop for a while, other comptuer finally decided to get it's act together, so was working on that. Always something.

Suzanne said...

My goodness, morning Iris! Missed you while I was typing.

Egg turning, our nest.

deb said...

Good morning all. I was hoping to see an egg in BC this morning, but I see that the egg cup is nice and dry.

MITS said...

we are all really gearing up for the upcoming hatchings:)

MITS said...

morning Deb, and Iris

floralgirl said...

Hey Deb and Iris..missed you coming in, my computer is trying to drive me crazy.

Bird Girl said...

unless Chrissy was on that side of England for some reason, I'm pretty sure she is just fine. The quake was on the opposite side of the country from where she lives, if I remember correctly..


MITS: I had a really bad kidney infection and had to go to the ER last fall (on my wedding anniversary,no less) and they gave me Percocet again but this time I started to hallucinate after about three doses -- Codeine makes me do that after one. No more Perky-set for me! The Demerol actually was ok after a few doses...

But to be honest, I'd rather not have any reason to take pain meds to begin with!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DEB!!---When I checked the BC SITe----1st pic--showed EAGLE in SNOWY nest----Back to the present pic!!---Same thing--dry spot where she sat!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all.

Way to go Dave - #1!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' IRIS!!---Did you lose electric yesterday?---Must have been a mess for traffic!!

paula eagleholic said...

Egg turning our nest - 3 pretty eggs.

MITS said...

I can relate to hallucinations, Delphia, don't know what heavy duty stuff I was on in Hospital, but hubby said I was talking to people in the room that were not there, I asked him why he didn't answer me, and he said I wasn't talking to him

Suzanne said...

Awww, BirdGirl, love your pic of the little baby bird! That's precious!

Morning Deb and Paula. Let's hope for no more snow today!

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE!!---MUST ASK----On your first post this a.m.---You thank STEVEN for the new thread & the -------"KILL"----WHAT DOES THE KILL MEAN?

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE----Does that mean I will be seeing STEVENS pics in the POST OFFICE???

floralgirl said...

LOL, Norma, no wanted poster will be hung up for Steven- I thought she meant he eliminated the Mogul post from previous thread.

paula eagleholic said...

Suz - Birdgirl's pic is of our Dolly, if I recall!

paula eagleholic said...

Nope, no egg for BC yet, but looks like a nice dry egg cup. Time must be getting close...

MITS said...

NZ pandas must have taken goofy pills this a.m.

MITS said...

They are soaking the feet of one of the elephants at NZ

glo said...

WANTED poster for Steve That is so cute and so funny. Norma you are such a hoot!!! I hope you have a clue how much you are loved on this BLOG lady!!!

MITS said...

Tai Shan has a new toy.

Suzanne said...

LOL, Norma! Not our wonderful Steven! We had one of those pesky creeps that had posted about 2 this morning, and I asked Steve to kill it. He did. He did good, no post office pics. Megan, didn't read far enough, you're right. The mogul is dead. Let's hope he and his friends stay that way.
Paula, name is familiar, but refresh my memory...who is Dolly?

Helen, they also have Bai and ZZ on SD cam this morning. Love watching these guys! In fact, have my Bai and ZZ earings on this morning! since I didn't get to see Tai grow up, but can see ZZ, bought mom and baby panda earings. So I have Bai and ZhenZhen on this morning.

What was that Tai just did? A head stand and back roll. He's a hoot.

Suzanne said...

Is that Mei and Tian on cam 1 Helen?

Bird Girl said...

yep my pic is of Dolly, one of the Aussie Peregrine chicks from last season -- it's a one in a million shot, and I love it! I was astounded by it when I saw it, like little Dolly planned it!

Suzanne said...

Never mind, guess that's Tai and Mei through the wire mesh.

Danelle said...

Good morning everyone! Just checking in. Hospital still remains busy, so I'll be in and out. Looks like our eagle is doing well.

Suzanne said...

Tai just took off like a shot, wonder what that was about?

normabyrd said...

THANKS SUZANNE!! I didn't realize that had happened!!----I'm glad I wasn't on yet!!----

PLEASE SEND A DOZEN ROSES TO GLO!!!
ho!!

Suzanne said...

OH yes, I remember Dolly now! I remember when you took that pic, too. It is a good pic.
Morning, Danelle! Does your hospial have a lot of flu cases now?

Danelle said...

Hi Suzanne! Only a few cases-a lot of pneumonia though.

MITS said...

yes, Suzanne, Mei is on 1 and Tai is on 2

Danelle said...

well, back to work for me. Talk to ya'll soon!

paula eagleholic said...

Norma - you are too funny, lady!

MITS said...

well they just changed it, Tian is on 1 now, good close-up shot

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' PAULA!!---I recognized that BEAUTIFUL CHICK of BIRD GIRLS'!!!-----I STILL HAVE ONE OF THOSE PICS!!---So ADORABLE!!---

deb said...

Both eagles in BC.

normabyrd said...

HELEN---I noticed a while back they had the PANDAS listed wrong!!-----I can usually tell the 'LITTLE PRINCE'---especially if movin'--twist that butt!!---ho!

Donnie said...

Good Morning everyone,
I see that I need to check in early around here, I had a lot to catch up with. I need my second cup of coffee already.
I see that Belle has made it through the rain yesterday. She looks well.

MITS said...

Norma, he is the "little imp"

Donnie said...

floralgirl said...

Good morning, Donnie:)

MITS said...

MITS said...

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DANELLE----GREAT talking to you!!---Has husband baked any more cakes for you?---ho!---We are all coming to INWOOD when he does! ho!!---

normabyrd said...

DEB--THANKS-!!--They don't seem to mind the snow in the nest---do they?----I read something else about your state which is very nice!!!!----No INCOME TAX!!!---WOW!---May move!---ho!---

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DONNIE!!---We are early risers on this blog---We get up with the birds--EAGLES !!---- ho!--(bad joke)!!---

Suzanne said...

Thanks Danelle and Helen. Look at the folks watching Tian. He's oblivious! As long as he can lay back and eat his bamboo, he's happy, I guess.

Morning, Donnie!

Donnie said...

I'm usally up early. I sleep in on Bingo day. It will be a late night tonight.
I've found the Blackwater cam. That one is really close up, and in focus.

normabyrd said...

OREGON NEST---MT--SNOW IS MELTING SOME IN THE NEST!!---Did some one tell us they lay their eggs in March??

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning and what a Full House it is! Takes me some time to read & see what is going on. A bit breezy and not too chilly this morning for us but I can't imagine the high temps Delphia has out there!

paula eagleholic said...

One eagle at BC

paula eagleholic said...

Late March or early April is what I heard, Norma, for Oregon eagles. And that was from an Oregonian!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jo. How are you doing this morning? Alright?

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, Donnie and Jo!

normabyrd said...

New weather forecast!--50% chance of SNOW in our area this afternoon!
temp now 30°---

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' JO----Thanks PAULA---OREGON EGGS!!

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE...

It's a beautiful 52° in So Cal this morning, planning on 73° max today.

How is everyone in Eagle Land?? [:~)]

Jim

MITS said...

Looks like another LOSER on the blog

floralgirl said...

Okay folks- another spammer- don't click on kazahn

floralgirl said...

Howdy Jim and Jo:)

Donnie said...

Paula,
type in the BC address for me please. I'm collecting all of these sites.

normabyrd said...

HEY!!--I WOULDN'T TOUCH "KAZAHAN"--
UNLESS SOME ONE KNOW WHO IT IS!!!-----SAME WORDING "JON" HAD!!

deb said...

Those people are getting irritating. The Maine eagles sure got vocal. Turkeys in PA.

floralgirl said...

Time to get out the cane...

floralgirl said...

Oh, thanks, Deb. Haven't caught turkeys on that cam lately. Haven't seen any in my yard for a while now.

deb said...

The Libby Montana cam is up, no one is home right now. Here is the link if you don't have it.

Libby, Montana

There is a pop up cam that refreshes every 20 seconds.

paula eagleholic said...

Donnie - just go to my links page...copy and paste

http://www.eagletmomsters.com/links.html

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jim! Feeling any better? You're up early.

paula eagleholic said...

I sent Steve an email and reported to Blogger

Suzanne said...

Thanks for that link, Deb. It says use this link for popup, but they'res no link. What am I doing wrong?

Suzanne said...

I sent Steve an email too, Paula. Wonder how we can stop these jerks???? Does blogger say how to stop them?

paula eagleholic said...

Guess someone already alerted Steve, the spammer has been KILLED

HA HA ON YOU

paula eagleholic said...

No Suz, they don't. Guess there are too many blogs to monitor. It was the same XP virus crap. You would think they wouldn't let that email address make another blog, but I guess the guy is using different email addresses.

deb said...

The word link is in red, click on it, Suzanne. I had to go back and look.

paula eagleholic said...

If you send Steve an email about a spammer, please post it on here. I don't want to send him needless mail! Thanks!

Mema Jo said...

Steve doesn't even leave a shred of evidence! He's good!

Suz - I think just to report them as they come on & IGNORE them!

deb said...

I was just reading and the first eagle last year was on the nest March 15th, two eggs spotted on the 26th.

deb said...

Eagle left BC.

Mema Jo said...

Ms Owl has a frozen cam again at WildWatch.
Mama Cali is turning her 3 eggs - she is huge!
Mama Valmont is in the sunshine with no snow in her nest box.

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Deb, my word is not showing up in red. Guess it's another cam I won't be able to view at work.
Paula, think I sent him an email about the same time as you did. He's quick! Thanks, Steve.

deb said...

Eagle back at BC, moving sticks. OOh, something new. Will we do this everytime??

deb said...

Yes, we will, it must be something to keep our fiends away. Both eagles at BC.

paula eagleholic said...

Way to go, Steve. Hope this helps stop those idiots.

IrisF said...

Thanks for the heads up Deb, guess I have to sign in again! Not totally caught up yet and it's almost time to leave for Bible Study...

Mema Jo said...

Watching BC - One eagle in egg well - got up - I thought maybe an egg but then other eagle flew in & both are mainly deepening the egg well.

Before Norma left she said OR eggs.
Someone tell me what I missed..

Oops! Protect us from the Spammers
I am about to Publish but Thanks Steve for the safeguard.. I hope I get it right!

Mema Jo said...

I am thankful I am going to an eye exam today. New lens will make those fancy letters easier to read! lol

MITS said...

NEW THREAD IS UP, WIH SOME INFO FROM STEVN ON SPAMMERS AND WORD VERIFICATION

Suzanne said...

What happened to our cam?

Been out of the office, having a conversation with my cube mate. Evidentally we have a neighbor that thinks he's the listen and tell police. Did not know that, but sure do now.

Gonna hit the road. All have a great eagle/panda day. Hopefully, no snow tomorrow, so I'll be here.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

5/7/24 no show. Crowd
