Had some excitement last night at home. We had a house fire. Thanks to the Philomont and Middleburg Vol. Fire Departments, our 200 year old house was saved, with only some moderate damage. If we can get the water back on we can stay at the house.
My blogging will be sparce for a few days because of this.
New thread.

Thanks Jim for the call to come over for new thread.
Steven I am sorry about your house fire. Glad you and the family are all ok. Sounds good hope you CAN get the water back on.
Take GOOD CARE
Brought over from other thread.
That's a beautiful site at Finland. Boy wouldn't that be something if that was "live" wow
Steven, I am so glad that the fire wasn't more serious. I hope you get the water on soon, so you can get back home.
Yes, Dana, it would be wonderful if it was live in Finland.
Eaglets at BWE being fed

YIKES, sorry about the fire, Steven, glad you are all ok.
parent came back to BWE and is eating the leftovers, ggggrrrr!
The sun shining on the water in Finland, make a beautiful picture.
LIVE FEED IS UP!!
They aren't doing anything right now, just sleeping.
BC has something that is not a fish in the nest.
kinda hard to tell who is who???
As I look out at the snow coming down, I keep telling myself its going to be 70 on Tuesday!
I bet the wing flapper is Pearl. First in line for food.
No food now, so back to lounging.
it is 73° here DEB
34 with a windchill of 22. :(
Hi Helen & Deb...
Deb, I heard there was 5 inches of new snow in South Dakota. How much did you get there?
I got mostly rain, just a dusting of snow. Parts of SD had 15" of snow and were without power for 24-36 hours. I think everyone is back on now. What I am getting now, won't amount to much.
It is so funny to watch them try out their wings, when their balance isn't very good.
Did you get the live feed to work, Wanda?
Steve, so sorry to hear about your fire...how scary is that??? Glad you are all ok and had minimal damage! Bless those Fire Departments!
Wow, I have live feed! Thank you Thank you Thank you....(GRIN)
OMG Steven! I am so sorry about your house! I hope there is not too much damage and you can get the water on! Will be praying for you!
OMGosh Steve, so sorry to hear about your house fire. Hope you can get the water turned on and the house repaired quickly. Bless our volunteer and paid fire personnel!
Deb so sorry you are having snow. I think I am getting sunburned.
Have not seen an adult like that in the nest in awhile,
How's everyone today? Happy to see the live feed has been reset.
Someday you'll have to show us a snap of your 200-year-old house (Federalist?), Steven. It's great to learn it has survived another close call and that all are well, who were within. Congratulations.
We in So Cal are being treated to a bone fide Santa Ana condition.
It has already reached the forecast of 89° and will probably go higher...the Channel Island eagles are taking appropriate action to protect themselves and their young...and the humidity has dropped to 8%! Looks like 3 days of that.
There are reading materials on the Panda blog in SD and on the IWS Reports for the week. Take a look if you haven't already.
The Norfolk cam seems to have been reset also. Things are looking up.
[:~)]
Jim
Chick is trying to put his head under the adult - too funny!
Weather at the Channel Islands is WARM! It says its 88 degrees and it looks like there is not much of a breeze, just an occassional rustling of the branches. Parents are doing their best to provide shade for the little munchkins. The nest is right out in the sun.. tho I imagine the eagles are used to it. Momma's on the nest at the moment. :-)
They have brought in A LOT MORE MATERIALS to the BWO nest box, are mating more; and it looks like this pair is getting ready for a serious nesting season. [:~D]
Jim
Steve, thank God your house is safe but more importantly, everyone is safe.
Hi everyone...
DEB, sorry I didn't get back to you after asking you a question. My grandson is visiting this weekend and had to make him some iced tea.
No, I haven't had Live Feed since last Saturday. :(
STEVE, how awful for you and your family! A house fire must be a terrible thing to experience. We once had a brush fire to get out of control, and I was terrified; so I can't imagine a house fire.
God bless you and your family. With we Momsters praying for you, you know everything will be alright.
Adult gone our nest
Adult back our nest
Steve that is a shocker! I am very thankful as I know you all are that no one was injured and that your home was saved. Hope you can stay there as it is a difficult situation to be displaced. I'll be thinking of you!
My live feed is looking good!
I am getting ready to head off to Mass - I'll be back early evening.
I had a great fun lunch & afternoon with Sophia! (almost 2 yr old grt-grndgal) Love to hear little ones' laughter!
Wow thank you whomever it was that got the "live feed fixed". ( :
Hi Paula, Jo, Wanda, Iris, Sharon, Karen, Jim, Mits, Deb and Watchers.
There is a bird close to the microphone at PH that is not an eagle but is sure chirping up a storm LOL!
bbl need to fix dinner
Paula, you should have an ecard in your mail from yesterday....
Happy Birthday to you.
[:~)]
Jim
I see ZZ playing on one of her platforms high in the tree.
[:~)]
Jim
BWO has really been working on the nest...getting a lot of sticks and mud balls in there.
Hi Dana...
What do the Osprey do with the mud balls?
Hi Wanda
They just use them in with the sticks in the nest.
I am home from church...just peeking in while dinner is getting ready...
Seeing a wing stretch from our adult & looks as though 3 eaglets are going to chow down..
Looked as though a bone was swallowed
I didn't know if adult was going to
make it or not................
BBL
bbl
Grandson and neighbor's granddaughter want seconds on salad and I don't have anymore. What to do, what to do??
Gone to look see in fridge...
BBL
Steve-
So glad the fire wasn't any worse. They can get out of hand so easily!
Babies just had a good meal & look to be taking a snooze now.
Kathy
Steve
Glad to hear that your and house and all are ok. Hope you get your water back on soon for your sake. Like they say "THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME"
Glad your OK
Those babies are getting so big, I haven't seen them in a while. How things change so fast! :)
Karen in WA
Chicklets alone in the nest.....Wanda I have some left-over salad;)
Wound the tape back, looks like Lib dropped off some dinner!
Going to go feed the dogs and clean up. I'm beat.
parent back in nest
Rats, think the live feed is down.
My live feed Stopped (picture was frozen & player said Stop)
Well I can't restart it so far...
Anyone else in the same boat as me?
I guess we are in the same boat, buddy!
I am concerned as to where Candy has been... Anyone have any emails from her? Hope it could just be her computer is down...
I just came in and have lost the live feed, too, Jo.
Well, Deb there is room in the boat for you too! We've got plenty of paddles!
I can't remember what day Candy was in last, they were busy working on the house, though.
Right Deb - she was moving somethings around for the floor people.. Hope she is ok.
I am pretty sure there are three heronettes now, I can't see the egg anymore.
It has stopped raining at the
Loch of the Lowes Wildlife Reserve & Wonder Woman is preening & her 1 egg is visible.
CT osprey incubating
Puleston cam is BLUE screen
Shady Side MD osprey located 30 minutes south of Annapolis
Shady Side Osprey Nest
Weren't there 4 heron eggs?
Yes, there were 4 heron eggs. 3 have hatched for sure and I think the last one may have hatched today.
I was checking out FtStVrain Eagles
I only see 2 chicks.... Didn't they have 3 to hatch? Man oh man! Too many nests for me to keep track of!
And BC - did their 3rd one ever hatch?
I can't keep up either, Jo;)
2 beatiful osprey at Wild Watch
CO has 3 chicks, BC only two, the other egg hasn't hatched.
LIVE FEED IS BACK ON!
LIVE FEED IS BACK ON!!!
thanks for the updates, Deb:)
is life feed back on:):):)???
Just in time for sleeping. Two osprey in Washington.
The kids must be behind Belle, I am having a hard time seeing them....the breeze has picked up here...
Looks like that second round of storms missed us.
My live feed doesn't want to stay on, but it does reload
my live feed did that all day when it was on, Paula. it has actually been on for 16 mins, so far, that is unsusal.
Mine only stays on for 3 minutes at most...never had this problem before
mine is like that all the time when it is on, except at this time of night, seems to work better, but will not stay on over night and is gone in the a.m.
Mine seems to have cleared up, it was saying it might be an internet problem
Oh no, now they have changed the showers to tomorrow 60% chance. Yuck.

For the blog comments, Mits
Good evening dear ones, Steve, So sorry for the house fire, so glad you are safe. Praise God for that. Here's praying you will have your home back in order in no time. I can just imagine how you must love your 200 year old house. Thank God for Fire Depts. Thank God for no injuries and little damage. Wish I could be there to help clean up. Live feed up for me and can hardly see in the dark. Hope the babes are full cropped. blessings donna
Is anyone else looking at the
"Heronettes" For certain there are 3 and just maybe I see the 4th. At least there are NO eggs there yet to be hatched.
The adult heron is building up the sides of the nest......
BBL
I think I can see 3 heronettes......NORMA has not been on today, has she?
No, Norma hasn't been on today.
At one time I thought I saw all 4 heronettes, but they are all fuzzy and grey, hard to tell them apart!
Haven't seen her today Mits
I thought there were 4 for a brief second - but then it was so shadowed I couldn't be sure. One thing is that there isn't a white unhatched egg down in there.......
Now what do you want to watch?
It may be time for me to play my card games for an hour.........
sun will be coming up soon in FINLAND
Sun coming up was very beautiful last time I watched it. Thanks for reminding me.
What's the Finland cam? osprey?
Jo, your picture is gone!
It is an osprey nest, Megan, but recently some white-tailed sea eagles have been in it
Megan, I sent you the Finland site, hope you get it...
No it's not.
I can see the Sycamore Tree.
Did it come back with this comment, Deb?
I still see Jo's picture, sometimes that happens, don't know why?
It's 5:21 am in Finland and the sun has NOT started to rise ...... yet!
I'm checking my email Mits, thanks.
OK, I got it Mits, thank you. Not sure I'll make it to sunrise though...
WONDERING IF IT IS FOGGY AT FINLAND, SHOULD BE GETTING LIGHT SOON....ops, sorry didn't mean to cap
Well if Deb lost my picture - I think now I have lost Deb!
I thought it usually was starting to get light before this.... I know I haven't stayed on beyond 11:00 & I think FOG would be a good reason...
Sorry, I went and let the dogs in and got distracted. All I see, Jo, is a box that says the video or image has been deleted from Photobucket. Weird!
Eagle in OR nest, just as I type he is looking at the branch.
I can see the dawn approaching at Finland
Welcome back, Deb. The Sycamore tree is on Photobucket. I'll check it later to see if it is still there - it could have been deleted...
I can see the outline of the land on the Finland cam....
HERE COMES THE SUN
HERE COMES THE SUN
AND I SAY IT'S ALL RIGHT
Little Darling
I love that song....:)
A ferry just went by, you could see its lights
I don't see the sea eagles.
chicks are getting restless, they are going to wake up Belle
I say MT Nest

BIRD IN THE FINLAND NEST

Dang, I'd tell you what was going on in the nest, but I can't see it. Live feed is down again. Have to wait for someone who can see the 30 sec cam to tell us what is happening.
I am with you on on that Megan. AGGRAVATING to say the least!!!!
Beverly, who lives 3 doors out and has the same ISP as I do, can get the still cam. I just don't understand!
Hello Sharon. the fact that some people can't get the FWS sites open while others have no problem doing so makes no sense to me at all. This happened to me last year for a couple of weeks, then suddenly I could get into FWS sites again. Wierd....
Good Sunday morning, gang. I've been sick for a couple of days, and I can't seem to ever get the live feed, so I haven't been here much lately.
Steve! I'm sorry to hear about your fire, and I hope all is going well with you and your family.
Have a nice Sunday, everyone!!
Good Morning!
No adult on our nest, the 3 eagleteers are laying together in the bowl. It is a chilly morning here, 46°
A VERY GOOD SUNDAY MORNING TO YOU ALL...
Apparently, the live feed needs to be reset...wasn't working late last night when I signed off either.
There are a couple of fresh clumps (last few minutes) of sod or root ball in the BWO nest. They're really progressing now.
