GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE thanks for the thread, Steven...

Good Morning Helen, are we the only two here this morning? I should say first today and everyday! Like Norma does!

Getting dressed to go to church, but had to check to see if we were up yet....NO!!!!!!!

Thanks though Steven for the new thread!

IrisF said...

Gosh, it worked on the first try this morning!!!

Steve Chase said...

notice the FWS site is down again...hang in there.

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Mits for letting me know there was a New Thread.
Yep Steven all we can do "is hang"...in there..
Hi Mits, Iris, and Steven.

Lots of turkeys and big ones Norma...

Eagle has been most of morning since I came in. On the limb near the nest.

BWE has gotten up and still 2 eggs.

Haven't seen what is under BC yet.

wvgal_dana said...

2nd eagle just came into BC

MITS said...

we are hanging, Steven:)

MITS said...

both eagles at BC

wvgal_dana said...

Waiting >>>>> waiting to see eagle get up so I can see how many eggs>>>>ok 1 egg still


Can't till if it is snowing lightly at Maine. Or blowing off trees.

MITS said...

still only 1 egg at BC

wvgal_dana said...

NBG just went down

wvgal_dana said...

Mits is NBG down for you?

MITS said...

Yes, Dana, it is

deb said...

Good Morning, Mits, Iris and Dana. NBG is down for me, too, Dana.

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all.

Wow - guess we will watch other cams today :(

MITS said...

2 eaglets at Tesoro, sitting high in the nest this a.m.

MITS said...

parent flying around the nest at Tesoro

deb said...

It looks like the FSV nest had a dusting of snow, hopefully that will be all. Snowing again in Maine. Heron in nest, all the WA eagle cams are empty.

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY...
[:~)]

"SERVICE UNAVAILABLE" is all I got through beakspeak.com ... our first place standing has slud this morning...

VA cam seems to have gone down too .. I was watching it a little earlier, and Mom was perched on the r/h branch near the nest.

The Hummingbird cam is up and you can see the restored nest from the time before last with two beautiful eggs in it.

It's barely light outside here, so I'm not sure how he gets that bright a picture ... computer enhancement?

Hope you have a wonderful Sunday, all.

Jim

movin said...

PLS. LIGHT A CANDLE

paula eagleholic said...

BTW - IWS has the link for the PH cam that can open directly in your browser now if you prefer that....frees up your WMP for another eagle cam :)

Just click on the link for Pelican harbor cam on the "eagle nest cam" page at www.iws.org

deb said...

There are new sticks in the Kent nest.

Divers coming in!

deb said...

Thanks, Paula, I wondered what was going on. I have to go to Firefox, now, to watch PH.

paula eagleholic said...

Seal Rocks (SR) now has 2 eggs!

They thought one was laid late last night right before the cam went off. It was just confirmed!

movin said...

Hi, Paula,
Just a couple of days ago, Windows Update recommended the latest rev. of Media Player, and one of the features they mentioned was the ability to play multiple programs simultaneously.

I downloaded it, but I haven't tried that feature yet...that I'm aware of.

With all the cams you have going, you might want to try it.

[:~)]

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

At least the blog is behaving itself this morning!

paula eagleholic said...

I am using it now...it works great...I mean the link for PH within the browser...WMP seems to slow down this ol' puter...

I am using WMP 11 - is there a newer version out, Jim?

paula eagleholic said...

Turning eggs at BWE?

MITS said...

egg turning PH...#10

paula eagleholic said...

Morning Mits!

How ya feeling today?

BWE looking again

movin said...

I think it's still 11, Paula, but the rev. has changed.

[:~)]

Jim

MITS said...

doing good, Paula, thanks for asking:)

paula eagleholic said...

Jim - ARe you talking about having the actual WMP up several times, or just using WMP in the browser window several times...that I can already do.

deb said...

Eagle in LW.

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning everyone - Bright sunny morning here in the valley. I have a luncheon to attend - I was hoping for a BWE hatching today! I am sure everyone is - especially Lisa.

deb said...

Switch at BC.

Mema Jo said...

movin said...

The version is 11.0.5721.5230, Paula, and it was Microsoft mentioning the new multiplicity.

I seem to recall many complaining that they couldn't run two or more Media Player programs very, very recently. In fact, I don't think I could previously. That's why I mentioned it.

It might be you already have the latest rev., and it won't matter what Microsoft meant by their reference.

[:~)]

Jim

deb said...

I was going to announce eagle in Maine, but it landed and left too quickly. It is sure windy today in OK.

paula eagleholic said...

Jo you have mail

movin said...

The cam is still down in Norfolk, but according to the Maine blog, Mom and Dad enjoyed a bout of whoopee about 7:30 EST today. [:~D]

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, Jim, that's what I have.

movin said...

There are currently eagles on all the Channel Island nests.

[:~)]

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Gotta go get ready to go shopping....catch ya'll later!

Mema Jo said...

Headed out the door to pick up a cake & card for the luncheon..
Will BBL in hopes that BWE has a new chick!..

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Jo, Paula, Jim, Deb hope I didn't miss anyone. Glad Mits you are feeling some better ( : Paula I do so very much love your picture of the "egg hatching" hee hee so cute ( :

I laid on bed and fell back asleep. Great ty for comments. I see SR has another egg (read in comments) ( : great!!

wvgal_dana said...

Can hear the eagels at Maine talking.

MITS said...

feeding time at Tesoro....thanks, Dana, I'm doing good

MITS said...

parent just flew off at Tesoro

wvgal_dana said...

Deb what http are you useing for Kent? Cause I can't hardly see the nest on cam 2.

wvgal_dana said...

2 eggs still showing at BWE

MITS said...

eggs were just on view at BW

deb said...

You can't see much at all on the Kent 2 cam. If you look at the tree branch in the center and see where the bark turns a lighter color. That is how big the nest used to be. I am hoping that when Cam 3 opens we will see what is happening with the nest.

There are new sticks poking up today, I wonder if the eagles are there and we just can't see them. Maybe they are building the nest up the other direction. Probably wishful thinking, but I will continue to hold out hope until Cam 3 opens.

movin said...

Hi, Dana. I'd like to know that one too.

It does look like they're getting ready to bring cam #3 on-line again though.

Maybe they'll focus that one on the right area.

[:~)]

Jim

deb said...

Dana, these pictures explain it better. Go to about the middle of the page.

Kent nest

deb said...

Divers! No one on the egg in BC.

movin said...

Are you watching the Hummer, Deb??

[:~)]

Jim

deb said...

Yes, Jim, I have it open. Back to laundry, doesn't look like much happening.

MITS said...

back from church, guess no eaglet yet at BW??

MITS said...

no eagles at BC...

deb said...

I hope BC hasn't been uncovered since I was last in here. But i guess it is OK for awhile, from everything we have learned. It looks so cold there!

MITS said...

it has been that way since I got back Deb, eagle is probably close by

deb said...

It is probably right in the tree. Lisa put up a note that no eaglet yet, Parents staying tight on the eggs.

deb said...

Eagle back at BC and an eagle just came into LW.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good afternoon, everyone. I went to Roanoke yesterday to eat at Red Lobster, then Mattie and I went to Bedford and spent the night with Thelma in her new house. She has a beautiful place with a beautiful view. Then, I came home early because I have to work 8 hours and right before I got into Bluefield, my sister, Beverly, called to say our power was out. It just now came back on so I am getting ready to start working. Going to be a long evening! :)

I hate to see that I can't see Liberty and Belle today. Hopefully, in the morning, the site will be back up.

deb said...

If you look at the BWE picture right next to the eagle is something white. It was not in the picture Lisa posted earlier. Is it part of the egg shell or is it just a white piece of fluff?

deb said...

Both eagles in Maine, one in nest, one in tree.

It is too bad you have to work, Sharon. It was a good day to get stuff done. Just slip in and check cams every hour or so.

deb said...

I think that if it were egg shell in BWE, they would announce it. Probably fluff.

wvgal_dana said...

I write this with aww in my heart and an even greater appreciation for Bald Eagles. For our Liberty and Belle.
I was coming out of a McDonalds (new) near where I live. Saw this giant bird seen the white head and tail. I instantly knew my eyes "was seeing a Bald Eagle!!". Possibly our Liberty.
Rushing through the traffic lights to get to a spot. That I knew there was a pond near VERY NEAR. I parked and watch this magificent raptor against a cloudess sky. Seeing 3 good size crows attacking it; believe it or not they were. Then it started dropping towards the pond. Skimming the top of the water. I thought it can't carry a Northern geese they are too big. Maybe it got a fish. Then it settled in a tree. Not a real tall tree either. I had to more closer. I found a way hoping the people that own the business I was behind. Wouldn't call the police. Setting in this tree watching the pond full of northern geese was the bald eagle. I was so close. I had to tell someone knowing Jo was at some dinner. I had Nilla's number and called her. I had food for the husband getting cold. I couldn't take my eyes off this Bald Eagle. As it sat in the tree my eyes recording every inch of it. Trying to tell Nilla. I knew it wasn't Belle. The tail feathers when its back is to you is not long enough. It had to be Liberty. A man came out of a trailer I called for him to look at the tree right behind him. He said it has been coming there for about a week. He ask someone about bald eagles in the area and was told there are 3 (three) nest down towards Shepherdstown. I talked with him about NCTC and the eagles and their eaglets. He was worried about his cat. As we watched it move out of the tree into the air. Remember this is not extremely high tree either. It was so beautiful flying in the air. About as high up as a street light. Over top of me and out from me. Tears welled up and I sprang a leak. Of course I didn't care what the guy thought. He said, "Wow it is surely beautiful isn't it?" I said man you just don't know what this is doing to me. I felt very emotion ever I felt in my lifetime. Excitement, joy, happiness, saddness, inspiring, peaceful, and by the end of the experience "worn out". There was never at time the eagle I believe was our Liberty flew high in the sky. During the time I seen him.
One day I will have to take the mileage to the nest. Which is about 15-20 minutes away during daytime. Night time driving on the back roads is slower. The wings were so huge (flying that low) I could have counted the number of fingerlike feathers of each wing. No I didn't I was to thrilled and excited.I have now been to the "ends of the earth and back"... ( :

MITS said...

DANA, you should have gone back to Mickey D's and gotten Lib a filet-o-fish:), and some fries...

MITS said...

I see what you are talking about Deb, it could be, but I'm sure someone would have seen the chick by now, but you never know.

deb said...

It is wonderful to see, isn't it, Dana. I am going to miss them when they leave.

Helen, you are feeling better, aren't you?? ROFLMBO


Is that how you spell it??

deb said...

You know me, always hoping! Now it is covered up and I won't have to wonder what it is anymore.

MITS said...

just got back from a walk outside Deb, the temp is 57° and no wind like yesterday, felt good:):):), yes ROFLMBO or you can substitute an A for the B, but you know I don't cuss on here....lol!

booweyt!!!

MITS said...

now would be a good time for BW eagle to get up and let us have a peek

deb said...

It is 37 here with wind warnings out. Nothing like yesterday. Snow tonight, but nothing big, just flurries.

wvgal_dana said...

hee hee lol Mits....I think he had his eye on live fish, geese, ducks and oh I forgot seagulls. Lots of them in the parking lot...I forgot about them....maybe they are attracting him to these two ponds.

Deb I have been to the nest several times each season. Since I found out about the eagles. Using bincolars to see them. Never Never this low to the ground and CLOSE UP AND PERSONNAL ( : ( :

KarenInCali said...

OMG Dana! That is just amazing and you brought tears to my eyes just reading about your experience! Also feeling a bit of jealousy wishing it had been me! We see a lot of hawks around here but no eagles :-( You are soooo lucky!

Just stopping by to say hi to all :-)

wvgal_dana said...

Husband was such a good sport about it. When I told him he knew by the excitement. He has been to the nest with me. He has used the bincolars to see them too.
I put his sandwich in the microwave. He said hotter than if he had ate it there hee hee

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good for you Dana. Filet-O-Fish would have been really good and easy for him to eat! :)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thelma said she saw something soaring yesterday from her new house but couldn't see what it was. This morning at 7, I was outside with my eyes to the skies, but I saw no raptors fly! :)

wvgal_dana said...

Karen each time I see Deb's wonderful picture. I feel alittle jealious too. hee hee thinking I'll never get to see an eagle that close without bincolars. I have search as husband has driven me to the nest many times. Always way high up in the air.
Never close like this. This one a miracle...for this area really a miracle to see one flying that low. In a tree that low also. And to be so close.

MITS said...

hold the tarter sauce though, to messy for the beak

MITS said...

Dana, bet you will be making more trips to that McDonalds??

wvgal_dana said...

I going to have to get the fish from McDonalds before they cook his and sit in car. In the area I saw him and place them ontop of roof lol

Mema Jo said...

Hello I'm Back!
Dana Oh Gal! My heart is just jumping around reading your words about your sighting! Well I can close my eyes and see Liberty right above you! Fantastic!
Did Ed ever get his fries? LOL

Lisa BWE pic on web page of the 2 eggs is around 11:30 today... I guess no one has seen a switch more recent?

wvgal_dana said...

You bet Mits whether I buy anything or not. I'll probably get thrown out of the parking lot lol

Vicky and Anne both stayed in the motel near where this pond is. They might even had seen the pond.

wvgal_dana said...

Jo you almost got my call lol

wvgal_dana said...

Deer on deer cam near woods

Mema Jo said...

I was later then I thought I would be coming home - Paula is out B-day shopping with her son.. Glad you reached Nilla.

wvgal_dana said...

Jo I'm not sure he could grab a Northern geese. Don't you think they are too big? Heavy? There was plenty of them. The smaller ducks wasn't there today. The pond he flew towards. Mostly they are in there.

MITS said...

feeding time at Tesoro

wvgal_dana said...

I looked it up they range from 6 to 20 lbs. If he got a small to medium one he would be eating good.

Mema Jo said...

Dana - Even if he could pick up a northern geese - it would be sorta large to fit in the nest! lol

He was probably hoping for fish -

IrisF said...

WOW Dana, what a description, I could surely feel your excitement! and yes, I had tears of happiness for you too!!! What an event - I would have been beside myself for sure to see one that close up... You are one lucky lady today and that is a memory for a lifetime!

wvgal_dana said...

Iris that was better than seeing Barry Manilow. You remember how much I wanted to see him. Well ty God you just gave me a miracle. ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Both eagles just flew into Maine

wvgal_dana said...

One wiggled down into egg cup the other started moving sticks and stopped. Now that one just flew up on branch. One that wiggled into egg cup is up standing. Now that one just looked into egg cup. Moving around egg cup. hummm wonder if it wants to lay an egg???

I don't remember fly ins and drop eggs lol well they just flew off

wvgal_dana said...

bbl

Mema Jo said...

BBL

deb said...

NBG cam is backup, I think the nest is empty, But zoomer is zooming. NO, both are there one in nest one in tree to the left.

deb said...

Both in nest looking down, bad picture.

deb said...

I wonder what we may have missed, not incubating that I can see.

deb said...

I think they both left. We must not have missed anything. Darn.

Jill said...

DANA-I was right there in the area. Crap I missed it. Email me with more specific directions. I know where the McD's is. Can't think of a pond in the area. Probably just missed it. Supposed to be beautiful here tomorrow. Maybe I can ride up there and try to get some pics. (I will ask permission to go on the property.)

Lisa said...

Very quiet on the nest today. Mostly just sitting. When they did roll the eggs, they barely looked at them. So I don't think the parents are hearing or feeling much.

Maybe tomorrow.

MITS said...

thanks, for the update, Lisa, we'll keep watching

deb said...

deb said...

Never mind, my WMP started over at the beginning again.

MITS said...

hey Deb, guess what bald eagles like to eat......heron eggs.

deb said...

OH, NO. Keep them away from our nest at Wildwatch. I guess that is why they call them raptors.

MITS said...

I went exploring on the heron page and found pics of the pretty blue eggs and an eagle in its nest....

wvgal_dana said...

Did anyone see anything at BWE??? LIke a chick??

deb said...

I started looking last night but got tired and haven't gone back. I was watching some of the videos. I will have to make it back to finish.

MITS said...

I haven't seen anything yet, Dana

MITS said...

eagle at Lake Washington

deb said...

Eagle in Lake Washington.

deb said...

Both.

deb said...

That was fast, one flew off.

MITS said...

eagle at BW looking under her left wing

MITS said...

both at LW

deb said...

bqhniI wish they could have a faster reload time, so we wouldn't miss so much. Too bad they can't have a different agreement.

deb said...

I wonder where I typed my WV. I didn't look at the beginning of my post! Darn tree. BWE settled in for a nap.

movin said...

Check ZZ...been asleep on the platform outside their den area for at least an hour.

I looked in earlier and she was tossing and rolling and grabbing her feet like she was having a "chase dream." Then she would settle down for a while, and later she started all over again.

[:~)]

Jim

MITS said...

I was watching her a little while ago, Jim....

Anne-Marie said...

I finally got it. Wow it took me the whole day

deb said...

The Lake Washington eagles are a beautiful pair, aren't they? Look at the wing pattern on the one closest to the tree.

MITS said...

Annemarie, I had given up on you!!!

MITS said...

yes, Deb they are magnificent, the face on the one is beautiful

Anne-Marie said...

I have fought all day. I keep getting "no service"
2 eagles at washington. beautiful

Anne-Marie said...

I love the sound of PH. I can always hear birds and the wind or surf. I wish they all had sound.

Anne-Marie said...

BB in a min.

deb said...

I wish they were all live, too. Wouldn't that be great! No waiting for the next picture, wondering what you missed.

Mema Jo said...

Deb they are beautiful. Going to be a lot of guessing this season as to who is behind the tree trunk!

Hello Anne! How did you do that?
Ok Mits! What we going to do with the Heron's beautiful blue eggs when the eagles come a hunting?

Hi Jim! ZZ may just have had itchy toes!

Hey There Dana! Are you just watching? Bet you're still on cloud 9 with Liberty!

deb said...

Something just flew by the Kent nest, but even blowing it up, I can't tell what it is. Black-looking is all I can say.

MITS said...

put up a sign, Jo, no eagles allowed..:)

Jill said...

Dana, Lisa posted a pick from earlier,thought maybe it was a crack in the egg or a blade of grass. My money is on the blade of grass. Looks like it goes right on off the egg.

MITS said...

saying a little pray our nest is up before next weekend...

Anne-Marie said...

I wonder if they could be taking sticks off of the kent nest to build another place?

deb said...

A big one, Helen. I will be gone next weekend, so I will need good reports of the eaglets. And lots of pictures in the album.

Mema Jo said...

Deb Could have been a juvie or just a black bird (raven or crow)

Jill I think it is a blade of grass.
This usually happens when we are watching the eggs for a crack... We especially did this with the Brisbane Falcon eggs.

Anne-Marie said...

what egg are you taking about?

deb said...

I couldn't see a white tail, so I am thinking raven or crow. I hadn't considered juvie, I will look again. FSV must shut off at 6 pm mountain time.

Anne-Marie said...

I have been washing clothes all day looking for that darn tick I tossed across the room. I itch all aver and I'm sure its biting me only to look and see nothing. I need professional help.

Anne-Marie said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Jill said...

I agree with you Jo. It looked more like grass, I could see it extending past the egg. I remember it happened a couple of times last year.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I have to tell you that I might be a little upset if we miss our first hatching!

Also, I do not like this word verification. I have to always do it twice and what if I am trying to post something quick? Ain't going to happen with that!

Jill said...

Anne, set a small dish of water with liquid soap in it near the general area, put a lamp beside of it and turn it on. The light will attract it and if it jumps in the bowl it cant' get back out. I know it works for fleas and have heard it will work for ticks. Also check any pets real close. If they were anywhere in the room, most likely the tick has found a new home.

MITS said...

boy ya gotta love Lisa, she is on the ball....even telling us they are going to check on the static, was getting concerned about that...thank you Lisa:)

Jill said...

Sharon, I think we should ask Steve tomorrow to turn it off. Maybe a week is enough. And if not, we are all smart enough not to click on links we dont' recognize aren't we????????

Jill said...

I didn't even notice the static until she said something. Thought it was just dark. LOL

deb said...

I hate ticks. I will wake up and know I have one. I am good at caching them in the dark and right to the bathroom to flush them. ICK! As much as I like being outside, I am not a bug person.

MITS said...

during today, Jill there have been some wavy lines on and off

Anne-Marie said...

I just got knocked off again. It said my email didnt exist. A gal could get a complex. I'm going to go get in a shower. bbl

movin said...

Heidi, I hope you are not talking about finally getting on the WV cam ... it is still giving me the "Service Unavailable" message!

[:~)]

Jim

MITS said...

I think we can ignore the spammers, and if it is not too much trouble delete them....I had a record 5 times today trying to get the d#$% wv to work for 1 post

MITS said...

yes, Sharon we will all be a little upset

MITS said...

no Jim it has taken Annemarie all day to get on the blog

MITS said...

BW is awake

Jill said...

Must of been when I was gone Mits, or when the internet was down here. I didn't notice a thing. But glad she is getting it fixed.

I think all we need to do is email Steve and he will take care of it. If we click on them, they know it and keep coming back. If we ignore them, they go away. They only want to annoy people and their attention spans are that long.

Jill said...

I haven't had that many problems with the wv and I am the worlds worst typer. Must get lucky. Course with wv like ccccm, who could screw it up???????LOL

MITS said...

BWE back to sleep

Mema Jo said...

It will be easier for Paula to ask of us bloggers WHO wishes Wd.Verif. to continue! After not getting any responses she can email Steve officially that we will keep an eagle eye out for the Spammers & that he can removed the
Word Verification.


Too close to hatching time not to be able to get a comment on here within a split second!

movin said...

One problem with sound on all cams (as of now anyway) is that the sound doesn't shut down when you go to another site.

They would all be on, unless you manually shut them off or muted the sound. They would not only be interfering with each other and your thought processes, but they would be drowning out the great music on XM Radio!!

They should shut the sound down when you switch to another site ... in other words it should only be "on" on the primary window, the one you are watching.

[:~)]

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

I knew that tree in the Lake Washington site was going to be a pain.

Jill said...

JIM, guess I could have made that clearer. A single person, IE:Paula, representing us could email Steve and ask him to turn it off.

In the case of a spammer, first one to see it can email him, then post a note that we di.

MITS said...

hmmm thought processes, let me think if I have any Jim:):):)

MITS said...

works for me, Jill

Mema Jo said...

Too much talk of ticks. I am starting to feel something crawling on me!!!
It is winter here - Anne that tick is probably on Heidi! Check her out & if you find one do like Jill suggested.....Put dish washing liquid on a Cotton ball & suffocate that tick & then flush him like Deb & Paula said! Wash your hands if you didn't use tweezers! If you used tweezers then stick them in peroxide or throw them away!

deb said...

LW eagle took off. That was a nice, long visit.

Anne-Marie said...

OK, I am clean, Maybe this will help.

Jill said...

Dang Jo your not messing with those ticks are you? LOL. I am starting to itch now too. Pretty sure no ticks around here yet.

Anne-Marie said...

Jim your much too high tech for me. have pitty

movin said...

Mema Jo, I'm inclined to agree on the 'strange and strangely printed series of letters verification'.

I have to repeat and repeat very often, which takes far to long. It is bad enough and slow enough when you have to decipher the strange print and type it one time.

But more often than not it's the slow repetitive program, so I'm for dropping it.

Paula put the directions for the correct reporting of a spammer to Blogger. Be sure to bookmark this after you open it.......

wvgal_dana said...

I love watching the SR nest. Live feed and sound. Oh my pleaseeeeeee gives us our live feed and audio.

Anne-Marie said...

I got laughed at by that guy aqbout the tick. He said "hey you better get used to them if you going to live here." Oops! He caught himself. thats what happens when you speak before you think. LOL

Anne-Marie said...

take a shower Jo, it helps.

Anne-Marie said...

PH moving a big feather around. Looks bored.

However; it only concerns us who comment on the blog and not the total membership of the Momsters.

KarenInCali said...

*sings* "cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
and I'd like to check you for ticks" (thanks, Brad Paisley!) LOL! That's all I can think of when you talk about ticks!

Mema Jo said...

JIM I agree with you about the audio staying on when you switch to a different sight. I had the DC zoo on with the pandas one day and switched to some other sight - I thought something had me!

MITS said...

LOL....Karen...

Anne-Marie said...

Karen your a hoot!

Mema Jo said...

KAREN We'll stop talking about
ticks right now! lol

wvgal_dana said...

I'm use to audio (sound) at different sites. Before I leave one to go to other I just turn it off. If it doesn't have the turn off place then I lower the sound so you can't hear it. NO PROBLEM

Now word verification grrrrr

movin said...

Heidi, and the rest of you, you might be interested in a trick I discovered in Nam.

I discovered it while trying to get rid of leeches, but I have found it also works on ticks....

We all did the pulling them off (worst) and the burning them with cigarettes (remember them?), which worked, but not very well.

One day, after crossing a river up to our arm pits (if we avoided holes), we stopped for a cigarette and to remove the leeches. I found several and got impatient, so I thought I would try the "Insect Repellent" we all had in a smallish squeeze bottle....

As soon as I dripped a little on its head where it contacted my skin, it began backing out of there at double time!! They don't like the taste of that stuff at all!! Probably think it's poison.

Well, ticks don't like it either. I bet anything like alcohol or peroxide would probably work too...just a little drop at the point of contact.

Love to have you Karen.

I had forgotten that one. I was married to a vet for 19 years with no combat pay.

I have all three Heron cams open tonight. I want to see all the angles.

Dana, I've handled the multiple sound tracks the same way as you, but I'm not used to it. And I think it should cut off automatically when you go to another site (or tab in Explorer 7 and FireFox)... They don't make us look at all the pictures we have up in the same area, why should we have to listen to all the sounds at the same time??

Eagle awake at BW. When will they go to 24 hours? And if they are going to shut down, why not midnight to six or something when most of us aren't watching.

Anne-Marie said...

I am going to say good night. I have chores to do to get ready for work tomorrow.

deb said...

It would be so fun to be at the Heron site when all those birds came in for the night. Can you imagine the sound?

movin said...

That is really cute, Mema Jo.
