normabyrd said...

CHRISSY---I was just getting ready to ask you what you were having for dinner!!---I play bridge with this lady who grew up in ENGLAND---she usually asks about your menu?

Lolly said...

It is 69 here this morning, do not know what the high will be, but it looks like a beautiful day!

While we were in Virginia this week a tornado hit within 10 miles of us. Destroyed 4 beautiful houses and damaged about 20. Also, within 5 miles an area got 8 inches of rain in a very short period of time. We only had small hail and 1 1/2 inches of rain. I was afraid of what we were going to find. Did not want hail to destroy my flowers.

paula eagleholic said...

Good Morning...Lolly, Norma and Chrissy.

Mauley posted over on the other thread...you may want to go back and read it....


Looks like the fog is clearing up at our nest...love to see them moving sticks!

normabyrd said...

SORRY! -- Thought you knew!!---HELEN'S granddaughters---MAGGIE & MOLLY!!!---Beautiful little girls!!!

Lolly said...

Scones! I love scones!

paula eagleholic said...

Steve - glad your internet is up and hope repairs to your abode are coming along.

Lolly said...

Morning Paula!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' PAULA--Thanks for the info-----Will go back & read her comments!!

Lolly said...

Paula, can you tell our eaglets apart now?

normabyrd said...

LOLLY---Sounds as if you folks were LUCKY!!----I saw the damage on the news!!---That must be terrible to lose everything like that----I think our mountains protect us some----

normabyrd said...

CHRISSY --- Please go back & read MAULEY'S message---Most of it is directed to you!!----Very interesting---about her love of cats!!!----& birds!!!

normabyrd said...

LOLLY---I can tell the EAGLETS apart when they are together!!---#1is largest----#3 is smallest (my favorite)----#2---is the one left over---He is a between EAGLET!! ho!

Lolly said...

My brother called us while we were gone to let me know it was on the news about the tornado. I knew it was not at our house, and did not even think of our cat. (Yes, I am a cat person, as well!) She was at "camp" while we were gone, and the tornado hit right across the street from where she was boarded. Helicopters were in the air when we were picking her up Thursday evening.

paula eagleholic said...

Number 1 and 2 are hard to tell apart, Lolly - not sure I can at times....Tiny is on the far right, though.

Lolly said...

Poor kitty, and she hates thunder storms!

paula eagleholic said...

Sorry, back right....Think 1 on left and 2 on right

paula eagleholic said...

I was judging by their tail feathers.

Lolly said...

NBG eagle is restless, looking down in the nest.

Chrissy Beahan said...

Morning Paula,

Scones yes I can whip up a batch,, hope you like them without fruit in them,, but covered in home made strawberry jam and then topped off with loads of lovely clotted cream,,,yummy..

Norma ofcourse I know,,silly me,, it's this short term memory of mind its shot you know,,sometimes I really hate having M.E. your memory tends to become shreaded.

Just keep jogging it and I'll try and keep up pet.

MENU ::::::

Mashed potatoes
Roast potatoes

paula eagleholic said...

Wow what a dinner Chrissy. Wish I could just pop on over...

Lolly said...

Thanks Paula! They have grown so much and Tiny really got the darker feathers this week while I was gone. I could still tell him apart last Sunday, no more!

normabyrd said...

Have any of you looked at the OREGON NEST?----I don't see her on it----Is that an EGG in the nest?----I thought she had at least 2 eggs at least!!---most of snow is gone!!!

Lolly said...

Chrissy, we will all be right over to eat. Thank you for inviting us!

Lolly said...

Time to go read the paper and turn the computer over to Jack.

Paula, Chrissy, Norma.....have a great day! BBL

Mauley said...

Lolly, Norma Chrissy Paula, isn't it a beautiful day the Lord hath made. I am certainly going to rejoice and be glad in it even if it is raining. Steve,if I lived close by you, yo can be sure that I would try to help do whatever you needed me to do even if was just to clean. I also would paint. Do you have friends and family to help you. We could organize a work party if not. I need to come to W Va, and any reason would be legitimate motive1!!!!!!!!!! Be still my heart . . . . . . . . the live cam is up. Oh those beautiful feather babies. BBL donna

normabyrd said...

CHRISSY --- You are such a delight---enjoy talking with you PET!!---I think I would ENJOY EATING with you too!!!!!!---don't eat rhubarb though----my grandmother loved it--she would get so upset if we touched it----one time I ate "too" much!! ho!--Guess GOD got even with me!!!!

Chrissy Beahan said...

Read Donna's post now,,, she is a love isn't she.

Can't get the Oregon cam at all,, all I get is page not gound !!!!

So can't help you Norma pet.

Sorry I was so long I had to deal with a furball Scamp was trying to get rid off, he's been eating grass all morning.

I'll keep trying the other cams but I think somethings wrong with my computer,,it's so slow and the realplayer now is stopping and starting, so I'm not getting a propper look at the eaglets again.

love and hugs
chrissy

paula eagleholic said...

normabyrd said...

LOLLY--If you could get a glimpse of the EAGLETS---You certainly can tell them apart now!!!----

paula eagleholic said...

Norma - I know there is at least one egg in Oregon, don't know if there are more...

Chrissy Beahan said...

Sorry about the rhubarb Norma,,

I could make a chocolate mousse instead,,I have a masive block in and a pint of heavy cream, so mousse might be nice for a change,,,I just might slip with the bottle of Rum though,, I shouls only use a tablespoon or so,, but I always slip when holding a bottle,, can I blame that on the M.E. ?????

Donna pet,,what do you do for your cats when they get a furball stuck ????
I hate seeing them try to get it up,,don't you,, it looks so painful/

paula eagleholic said...

Norma - Maine has their loon cam on I think

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE.

It's going to be a beautiful, if overheated, day in So Cal today.

We are about to enjoy a Santa Ana
condition with desert winds and the rest... supposed to reach 92° today.

Isn't it great about how well the BW Ospreys are progressing? Looks like that nest is really in business again.

Paula, or somebody, what's with the link to IWS.org this morning? I get a waste management site! Tried google, but they have the same link I do.

C(°?°)3

Jim

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning Everyone!
Beautiful out today

Jim - I got the same thing... Now how do we find it? I'll go i9nto some other blogs - maybe someone has found IWS EAGLES!

Love all the chit chat from this morning!

Mema Jo said...

Just called Robyn over at hospital -
she had her planned back surgery Friday - removal of a disc - They will release her on Sunday. She sounded very good! Has her lap top with her & would love to receive emails.

NatureNut said...

Good Glorious Morning Everyone!
Just checking Norfolk & Mama eagle has been looking down into nest bowl. Hope something's happening.

NatureNut said...

Oh well. She's back to sitting now.

Chrissy Beahan said...

Hi all,

Sorry I've been trying to get logged back on,,as my computer switched itself off,,then my keyboard wouldnt type,, I knew today was going to be a difficult one,,[computer wise]

I'll be back as soon as I can load all the cams again.

Sorry you don't cook Norma,, cos it's such an easy recipe to do pet.

Right I'm going to load all the worlds babies.

love and hugs
Chrissy

normabyrd said...

Thanks PAULA---Will check!

paula eagleholic said...

Everyone at forum having same problem as here for www.iws.org...

paula eagleholic said...

IWS problem has something to do with domain name renewal...which can take up to 48 hours to process throughout the internet....so you'll have to use your direct links to those nest to view them...the non neokast ones thru iws apparently aren't working...

movin said...

IWS apparently forgot to renew their domain.

I got into the discussion page googling "CHIL cam." And you can google for "NeoKast" for the cams.

Eventually it will probably return to normal, but it could be as much as a few days.

[:~)]

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Nobody mentioned it, but looked back on RP, feeding by parent about 15 minutes ago...

movin said...

By the way, if you haven't seen them yet, there are a couple of very interesting reports for this week in the Channel Islands.

[:~)]

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm finally found it on the tape...both parents in nest, I think Lib brought something really small....the eldest mantled it very well. Think she ate it! gonna go back and check again...so then Lib left first, followed by Belle when she realized there was nothing there to feed!

movin said...

Looks like Liberty has delivered some fish and is feeding the chicks.

[:~)]

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, it was a small fish, I think....chick swallowed it whole!

paula eagleholic said...

Parent on nest feeding now

paula eagleholic said...

Tiny mantled it first this time....

Belle came in right after...Lib flew off...

paula eagleholic said...

Belle walked around to the back of the nest, took it from Tiny and is now feeding the chicks....hmmm, wasn't Tiny that mantled...was the second chick

paula eagleholic said...

From Dr Sharpe

I have nothing to do with the domain registration. That is supposed to be done by the main office in Arcata. I've e-mailed them, but given that it is Saturday (one of those days most people take off), who knows when it will be corrected. The links directly to the Neokast site should work and I'll make the cameras appear on the Neokast page for now.

Mema Jo said...

What url address to I use to get to the CA nests.........?

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Everyone on this thread and the older thread ( : Don't want to list names and miss someone.

Boy those wings flapping at our nest. While watching was worried #1 was going to knock 2 and 3 over the edge.

paula eagleholic said...

Main link for PH cam for WMP only

http://media1.vcoe.org/eaglecam1

The rest are on neokast

paula eagleholic said...

None of the non neokast links are available, except the direct link to the PH cam


http://www.neokast.com/

paula eagleholic said...

Lib back with a monstrous fish!!

Belle right behind him and grabbed it away!

Mema Jo said...

This is a very interesting feeding
lol

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, Middy right up under her tail....then she's inbetween them

wvgal_dana said...

Great another fish...that little fish just wasn't enough...lol

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding over, Belle left with a nice swooping exit...

gotta go see what I can get done outside....will be checking in later...

paula eagleholic said...

Ewww, I see spidey

paula eagleholic said...

Anyone else lose their RP???

paula eagleholic said...

Ok, came back on 3rd try

not sure if that is spidey or dinner for spidey

paula eagleholic said...

It is dinner for spidey

wvgal_dana said...

I did too Paula but IT IS BACK ON LF

paula eagleholic said...

Nice and humid out there today...

paula eagleholic said...

IWS website is working now

floralgirl said...

Well, good thing you said that, I was staring at a frozen cam and not even realizing it.

paula eagleholic said...

I noticed my timer was at 0:00

paula eagleholic said...

I'll bet you're sweating out there too today, Megan.

paula eagleholic said...

Howdy Dana - how are you today?

NatureNut said...

Adult in nest...took food to back where chicks napping. Almost too tired to eat!

paula eagleholic said...

Parent back feeding

floralgirl said...

Good grief, sorry, I tried to answer you Paula, but first I had no comments box, then no publish your comments box. Yes, it is really hot outside. I was checking the radar, there are a few thunderstorms out there headed our way. Gonna run back outside. Looks like chicks are having a snack.

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Paula, Nature and Megan, and Everyone else ( :

Glad our eaglets have a good bit of pin feathers if it rains.

glo said...

well I am definitely having a late computer start today. For those needing it here is a link to the forum for IWS
IWS Forum

Hope your weekend is going well. I did make a couple of videos from happenings at our nest this morning. They are posted on the For the Love of Eagles Blog. Just click on my name here and follow to that BLOG.

Robyn said...

Greetings from Winchester Hosp. what a great bunch of nurses and Doctors here.

Thank you all for the funny and sweet get well e-cards.

I thought this would be a great place to get some rest but every 4 hours they pop in and do their thing.

I have some pain but overall feel SO MUCH BETTER.

Mema Jo said...

Great to hear from you Robyn!
Home tomorrow!

I am headed off to Mass & then to b-day dinner at Olive Garden for
daughter.
I'll be back in later - Take Care &
Stay Cool......

Costume Lady said...

ROBYN...what on earth are you doing in the hospital??? I know nothing about this...tell me.

Costume Lady said...

Spidy is really asking for trouble. When that web gets a little bigger, one of those eagles is going to fly up there and have him for desert.

Costume Lady said...

DESSERT!!

glo said...

Well Robin looks like several of us didn't know in time to send the fun email cards BUT we surely wish you a very very speedy recovery. We will be needing you to hike the tree and clean the cam lens ASAP

Costume Lady said...

Hi Glo, I hope someone can tell us what has happened to Robyn. She is a local friend of mine and I am concerned.

paula eagleholic said...

Robyn - So good to hear from you! Glad the surgery went well and you can see improvement already....

How's Tori?

paula eagleholic said...

Spidey has not retrieved his dinner yet...

Eagle in the nest, just hanging with the kids.

Grass is sooo long...still not done!

melvsmom said...

Mom or Dad (I can't tell) has been hanging in the nest for a while now. I'm new to eagles. Is this common? Does it indicate a danger in the area? Or is it just eagle parenting?

Costume Lady said...

OK, thanks, Jo. Robyn had back surgery and is doing well.

NatureNut said...

All my Best Wishes to you, Robyn, for a SPEEDY recovery!

Costume Lady said...

Deborah, I was wondering the same thing. Parent doesn't usually stay after feeding. It is suppose to rain this evening. Maybe that is what she is anticipating.

paula eagleholic said...

Just checked radar...rains getting closer...gotta go finish lawn...BBL

Costume Lady said...

Aren't they such good parents?
My Mom says, if humans were as attentive to their children as these eagles are to their chicks, it would probably make for a better world.

melvsmom said...

I love seeing the kids so stuffed they just want to sleep. Although the one on the left makes me nervous; several times he's extended his leg and/or wing over the edge. That's just too close for comfort.

wvgal_dana said...

Robyn glad that the surgery helped....doing that very soon after surgery is always a "PLUS". ( :

wvgal_dana said...

"knowing that" I mean't

Costume Lady said...

ROBYN...check your email.

Costume Lady said...

Hi, Dana...how is your bluebirds doing? Still buildling their nest?

Costume Lady said...

Lib (or Belle) has a feather stuck to his beak and it is driving me crazy looking at it. Wonder how he feels?

Costume Lady said...

Supper time. BBL

wvgal_dana said...

That's where I'm going to Wanda as long as it doesn't start thunder and lighting bbl

glo said...

From Wanda
Lib (or Belle) has a feather stuck to his beak and it is driving me crazy looking at it. Wonder how he feels?

AARRCCHHOOOOOOO!!!!!

Costume Lady said...

GESUNDHEIT!

Costume Lady said...

Oh my goodness, Pearl is helping herself to leftover fish! Doing an excellent job!

Costume Lady said...

She gave up. I guess it doesn't taste as good as when Mom tears it apart and places it in her mouth. LOL

Costume Lady said...

That was hard work...going to take a nap.

glo said...

.Wanda Did you see her move the stick up a little so she could lie down in her chosen spot.

Lolly said...

Look quick at NBG! What's happening?

Lolly said...

I guess that is NOT the egg we can see.

Lolly said...

Ok, she is back on the egg cup. At first I thought I could see the egg. Don't know what I saw, it was white!

Lolly said...

Spidey has really messed up the viewing for this evening!

Lolly said...

Belle is feeding the eaglets, though you can not see well because of the "blob" in the web.

Costume Lady said...

It is raining pretty hard here now. Our babies are being taken care of.

Costume Lady said...

Thunder and lightning now...raining harder.

paula eagleholic said...

Wish spidey would get his dinner out of the way!

paula eagleholic said...

Belle still in the nest...looks like wind and rain have eased up tho

paula eagleholic said...

Lots of lightening and thunder here...on the edge of some nasty stuff!

Costume Lady said...

Can't see anything but Spidy's catch of the day, but can tell that a parent is still there.
Rain has subsided and wind has died down somewhat.

paula eagleholic said...

I can still see Belle on the back of the nest, she is facing this way...at noon position

Costume Lady said...

It is still raining here with some wind. I can now see one chick in front of Belle. It is 65°, so I would guess the family is not as miserable as they look....just a good Saturday night bath!

Costume Lady said...

I have had mine...and am ready for bed.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS

movin said...

Ha! The live feed is working tonight, but because of Spidey parking his whatever in the way, the only thing I can see is an adult's open eye and then make out the white head some of the time.

[:~)]

Jim

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY.

Hope you have a happy Sunday...

[:~)]

Jim

floralgirl said...

Live feed is down this morning. Soggy morning here, lots of showers last night, some pretty intense thunderstorms. looks like the chicks are huddled together in the center of nest. Wish spidey had eaten his prey, it is still blocking the cam lens.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING MEGAN AND EVERYONE...
Thanks, Megan, for the Dead, Live Feed report.I was clicking on all kinds of options trying to get the thing to work....now I know to stop!

floralgirl said...

YEp, Wanda, maybe John will reset it later:) Off to mkt., the radar doesn't show it, but it is still a light drizzle out there, eaglets look soggy.

ceil said...

Good morning Megan, Wanda and Jim
Eagle in the Maine nest it is just sitting and watching out. Adult in BWE only see one eaglet and ours to look soggy. Megan I have got to get to market to see your flowers.Hope everyone has a good day. Cloudy in Baltimore

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING CEIL...
Have you ever been to Shepherdstown? If not, it is a wonderful, little town. I live 3 miles up the road from there.

ceil said...

Yes, Wanda I have been to Shepardstown to few times but it has been a while. Loved it. Hope to get there in the next couple of weeks.

ceil said...

Wanda,I'm off to get a cup of tea. Brain is not working this morning yet making typos. Hope you can understand what I am saying

Costume Lady said...

Understand perfectly, Ceil. My brain works at about 50% most of the time.
