Looks like rain is almost here, wind is gusting as you can see-last one was 25 mph..

MITS said...

raining here in Bethesda now....I get one thing fixed on the #$%$ computer and something else pops up and gives me trouble....now the mouse is acting up again

deb said...

Dana, three intact eggs at BC!

deb said...

There still isn't a new announcement from Loraine. She is building the suspense!

deb said...

i never noticed that the BC nest it right above water. You can see it moving today.

Carol_in_WV said...

Hi, eagle lovers! Busy, busy, busy today - no time to blog - but I wanted to check-in and report that it is 28 degrees and sleeting up on this mountain! Yikes!!

MITS said...

bummer, Carol.

deb said...

It's snowing in CO.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I swear, those are strong little fellers, lifting parent right up!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

We definitely have a right wing conspiracy now - with three culprits!

deb said...

Parent at BWE, one eagle in Maine nest.

Carol_in_WV said...

"right wing conspiracy" - lol, Sharon - that's a good one!

I can't believe how those chicks are growing.

deb said...

Feeding at BWE and at our nest. The eagle laying in the Maine nest is the female, according to the Maine Forum. Both eagles in CO.

Carol_in_WV said...

Tiny getting fed good right now

Carol_in_WV said...

Tiny had her fill - time to sleep.

deb said...

Osprey at BWO.

Carol_in_WV said...

BW parent on eaglets. She looks wet. Ooops - she's gone.

MITS said...

took the word right out of my mouth, DEB:):):)

MITS said...

parent gone at BWE

Carol_in_WV said...

Time to go home. Icicles forming on the edge of the roof! Keep you babes warm, Belle.

deb said...

I wish they could zoom in on the Maine nest, so we could see what the eagle there is doing.

MITS said...

looks lie it could be sitting on something or just resting, Deb

MITS said...

they are trying to get closer up in Maine

deb said...

Zooming in at Maine!

MITS said...

what is the forum saying, DEB?

deb said...

Most of the watchers aren't there right now that normally post.

MITS said...

well, it sure looks like she is in the right position, time will tell especially if she spends the night. It sounded like Wing had thought there was a very slight chance for an egg.

MITS said...

looks pretty with the sun on her

deb said...

They are starting to get hopeful, the longer she stays.

MITS said...

keep us posted, please, DEB:)

deb said...

I will!!

deb said...

Its 5 o'clock and the dogs insist I feed them. BRB

Maine eagle calling.

MITS said...

silly dogs, wanting to eat...

deb said...

I know and heaven forbid if it isn't right at 5 pm. What I don't know is, how they know when the time changes, they go with the clock! :)

MITS said...

well hope his is a good sign for Maine

MITS said...

yeah, they are smart like that, my dog knew the music for the 6 o'clock news, and if I didn't get to him fast enough, he would push his dish into the TV room

deb said...

More people showing up on Maine Forum. I think they are reluctant to get their hopes up.

I love to watch the heron get up off the eggs, so graceful for such long legs.

MITS said...

looks like Maine wants to take off.

MITS said...

she is back down at Maine, did a little waddle, but not a big one

deb said...

I hope she spends the night. Still lots of daylight left though.

deb said...

They think she might be practicing incubating now, so hope is returning to Maine. I haven't seen anything that looks like an egg roll, she was in that one position for quite awhile, too bad they weren't zoomed in then.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Supper just arrived at our nest. Nice looking fish.

Mema Jo said...

Very large fish dragged over to the feeding table in our nest. All kids asleep so parent eagle having a feast...

deb said...

Fly in, our nest.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

She just offered a bite and nobody would take it so she ate it!

Mema Jo said...

Pearl seems to notice something going on & will probably alert the others
Yep! I think they are all up now & eating..

deb said...

I must be behind!

deb said...

Ok, I think I am up to date now.

Mema Jo said...

I guess that was Tiny & Middy eating
Pearl just woke up & took over-sorta

Mema Jo said...

Only see 2 heads - somebody is sitting on somebody and I'm afraid it is Tiny... what do you think?

Mema Jo said...

Fly in coming I think I saw other parent in the background.... Maybe up to the tree limb.

Mema Jo said...

BW eaglets alone in nest
Says 41° & light rain

Mema Jo said...

Trying to get enough fluff to cover eaglets - it's not an easy task anymore the way they are growing.

Mema Jo said...

Check out CO FtStVrain daily pics
at 3pm. There is one of the eggs.

Mema Jo said...

Ok Need to leave for an hr
Finally getting taxes prepared

I'll either come back hooping & hollering or Crying the Blues!

BBL

MITS said...

Have fun, Jo

deb said...

I hope you come back hooping and hollering!

MITS said...

man, that dove is started to get on my last nerve up in Maine

MITS said...

I never hoop, just holler;)

deb said...

They are really trying to zoom in now at Maine.

deb said...

What a great picture that is!!

MITS said...

ah, don't think that will help.

MITS said...

she is a beauty.

deb said...

I love seeing her face so close and watching her eyes.

wvgal_dana said...

That's neat making Maine full screen while they are zoomed in ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Did anyone get at look at BC long enough today. To see if there was a hatching?

MITS said...

their notes say the earliest it would hatch is April 4th, Dana

deb said...

No hatching at BC or Co today, at least yet.

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Deb and Mits ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Nice poop shoot for all to see

wvgal_dana said...

Both now at Maine

wvgal_dana said...

She just flew out of Maine while he is there with something he brought in to eat. Both was being very vocal.

deb said...

Darn, I was sure hoping she would stay. :(

MITS said...

me too.

wvgal_dana said...

Getting colder it might sleet sure hope not at our nest.

MITS said...

off to fix myself some dinner..BB

Jim

MITS said...

raining at the nest...

MITS said...

deer at PA

MITS said...

MITS said...

poor wet eagle just sneezed, it look like

MITS said...

having a hard time keeping chicks under her

floralgirl said...

Just came inside- Its nasty out there - now 36° and raining hard here.

MITS said...

36° here too, Megan...

floralgirl said...

Sure is a wet night, we've seen some sleet, but mostly rain here so far. Looks like she's gonna be tenting for a while tonite.

MITS said...

my arms are tired just watching her

floralgirl said...

I know what you mean. These birds are so dedicated to these chicks, so cool to be able ot watch it.

MITS said...

raining at BWE too, but she is not tenting:(

MITS said...

funny, when I tell people about something like this, they just stifle their yawns:):)

floralgirl said...

Oh you're right- not tenting at all at BWE.

floralgirl said...

I know, you learn who is interested and who isn't quickly.

MITS said...

always is fun when people look across the room, to see how fast they can get away...lol

movin said...

You can see two bobbling heads being fed at PH/SC right now.

Jim

MITS said...

MITS said...

Mema Jo said...

Kent Forum: I (Loraine) will be posting information later on today or tomorrow. Sorry I don't have more than that at this time but it's on it's way!

By the way, if you haven't checked today -- the Lake Washington cam has been refreshed/reset and they are sitting on eggs!

paula eagleholic said...

Evening, all.

Worked late and just got home, dogs and myself fed...

See Belle making one heck of a tent.

paula eagleholic said...

She has her wings drawn in more at the moment...

paula eagleholic said...

She looks like she is in takeoff position!

paula eagleholic said...

And we are still soundless, I see.

Gonna go make some videos...bbialw

floralgirl said...

She is shaking the rain off her wings, shifting postions.

deb said...

Eagle at BWE looks drenched, she is over the eaglets, but not tenting like Belle is.

Eagle in OR, headed up to branch.

deb said...

Belle just did a whole body shake that time, head to tail. Trying to figure out where to put her foot.

floralgirl said...

Belle is up, trying to get chicks tucked in better.

deb said...

On second thought I think she is trying to control the little ones!

floralgirl said...

Yeah, it looked like she was making them move in closer so she could cover them better.

Lolly said...

Feeding at PH!

deb said...

I replayed it and made a clip of it, she was definitely trying to get them under her, Megan.

floralgirl said...

Looks like we're getting close to a break in the rain.

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE..

C(°?°)3

Anne-Marie said...

Hi everyone. Got caught in cyber hell trying to see the Catalina eagles. that Neocast is for the birds and I dont mean eagles. I dont really watch them anymore . Its just too frustrating. I stick to PH and I'm ok.

Costume Lady said...

Hi ladies...I finally got the live feed going. That is, Capt. Eagle got it going. Now that I have turned it off, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back on.
Belle did look as though she was using her foot to get the kids settled down into the cup. She is so gentle.

floralgirl said...

She is finally trying to catch a little shut eye.

Anne-Marie said...

Wanda I'm so glad you are home safe and sound. I bet your trip was wonderful.

floralgirl said...

Hello Anne and Wanda and Gene:) Wanda- some people never turn their live feed off...

deb said...

Wanda, glad you got it going finally.

Anne, I can't do Neokast, it isn't available for Mac computers. There are lots of hints on how to get it to work on the technical section of the IWS chat,

Costume Lady said...

Thanks Anne-Marie. That is a beautiful photo.

Anne-Marie said...

Hi Megan will put tomatoes in this weekend.

Anne-Marie said...

Wanda your sweet. Deb thoes sights had a different camera system last year I'm sure. I had no problem then.

Costume Lady said...

OK, I just checked and after minimizing the cam, I was able to bring it back up. Is that the best way to keep it going?

MITS said...

i hear ya about the neokast, installed it , then uninstalled it...twice, really effected my computer in a bad way..

Anne-Marie said...

Wanda I think I'm going to sell my RV. I have a big 5th wheel and I have only taken it out a few times since my hubby died and now with the price of gas I'm really thinking of it.

Costume Lady said...

Anne-Marie, we did have a wonderful trip. I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed it. When the dust settles, I will put some photos on my blog.

Anne-Marie said...

We used to have so much fun with a tent trailer and we hardly use this.

deb said...

Yes, Anne, they just changed them not too long ago, I don't think they knew how much trouble people were going to have. I just wait and watch the videos that come out, though that's not as much fun as seeing it happen live.

floralgirl said...

Tomatoes already Anne- Lucky, I have some started in gh, but it will be a while before they can go outside.

Costume Lady said...

Anne, I know what you mean about the price of gas. We got 6.5 miles per gallong on the trip.....pitiful.

Costume Lady said...

Megan, what is your favorite tomato?

Mema Jo said...

Isn't that the most impressive tent you have ever seen?
Anne & Wanda - it's great to have you here! Wanda I am glad you got the live feed going - I guess you & the Capt had one fabulous time traveling but as always - it's good to be home!

Deb & Megan - it's still raining here in the valley!!!

floralgirl said...

I often leave my real player up in the corner of my screen. Really if the feed it is working ok, you should have no problem opening it in the morning after closing it down.

Mema Jo said...

Wanda & Megan

BIG BOY

Costume Lady said...

Anne, if gas hadn't been so high, we were thinking of driving up to see you. We were paying 3.35 at times, and heard it was at 5.00 in some places in Calif.

floralgirl said...

Well, I really like cherry tomatoes, and I grew one called Grandeur andsome betetr boy to sell. I really like almost all fresh tomatoes.

Anne-Marie said...

Your not going to believe this but I just ran to the kitchen. Heidi was barking up a storm and I had a pot of chicken and rice on the stove and it was burning. that stinker told me . She thinks she is Lassie.LOL

Anne-Marie said...

I paid 3.61 last night.

deb said...

Oh my, I thought 3.17 was bad!

Costume Lady said...

Hi Jo! I havn't chatted with you since we got home. I have had an infected finger and havn't been able to type.

Anne-Marie said...

Wanda it would have been wonderful to see you. Maybe next time.

Anne-Marie said...

It was 3.69 in Santa Barbara last week

Costume Lady said...

Maybe Heidi likes fried rice and wanted some. LOL

Mema Jo said...

Wanda - we all thought about you the whole time you were gone. Hope the finger gets better soon..

Anne-Marie said...

Heidi wants anything that isnt dog food.

Costume Lady said...

Megan, we have been growing a cherry tomato called Juliette for a number of years now and it is our favorite of the small variety. We like "Pineapple and Mr. Stripey" for frying and Big Beef for sandwiches.

Anne-Marie said...

Jo I want a BLT with a Big Boy that doesnt taste like cardboard.

Jill said...

Love Big Boy Better boy and something girl tomatoes.

Megan when will you start taking plants to Shep Market? I need something for out front. Not sure what yet but I am sure you will have something I can use.

Costume Lady said...

Thanks, Jo. It is just a nail that got torn into the skin and got infected. I stuck a needle in it and released the infection.

Anne-Marie said...

dont forget the peroxide

Jill said...

Megan, do you grow tomato plants to sell or tomatos to sell or both. I have never had luck with tomatoes in this yard no matter what I do.

floralgirl said...

Blogger is being mean to me:( I've heard of Juliette- daughter likes sweet 100's.

Costume Lady said...

We had BLT's for breakfast many mornings on our trip and used Canned sliced tomatoes. (fried the bacon at home and put it in the freezer)

Anne-Marie said...

Hi Jill is that bike yours or Normans?

Jill said...

Beefsteak was one my dad grew, they were good too.

Costume Lady said...

Jill, we like Better Girl...I think it is the earliest tomato that we grow.

Jill said...

The bike belongs to Norman's friend Andy. He also owns the horse Norman was riding.

Anne-Marie said...

Sweet 100's I put in hanging baskets on the patio. Beside being pretty theyare yummy. One of my favorite salads is sweet 100's pea's and mayo.

floralgirl said...

I can sell tomato plants at Charlestown and DC mkts., not Shep. I will have lots of plants for sale by May - should have sweet peas sooner. I usually grow some tomatoes for my family to eat, I don't sell them.

Jill said...

That might be it Wanda. I haven't planted any in so long I forget. No matter where I planted them in this yard something always happened. I finally gave up.

Costume Lady said...

Hey, Jill. I got a check in the mail today from the Magistrate's office! Full amoount that she owed me plus 25.00 fee.

Anne-Marie said...

I have a thing about bikes. Remember I worked ER 12 years of my 22.

Jill said...

Darn it. I want tomatoes. LOL. Let me know when you start at Shep, maybe this year I will get there before you leave. Last year I went a couple of times but got there too late.

Costume Lady said...

Jill, did my postcard make it to your friend?

Anne-Marie said...

Dinner is ready. I will be lurking tomorrow . sleep well all and smile at someone. :)

Jill said...

That's great Wanda. The article wasn't really clear about whether you would get your money. It said the charges were all dropped then a couple of sentences later said she would pay restitution on the charges. I wasn't sure if it was all the charges or the ones she pled to.

Jill said...

Yes it did Wanda. Thanks. Norman is the guy on the motorcycle in the picture.

Jill said...

Anne, nobody has mentioned Cindy. Maybe Brandon is ashamed of Norman. LOL

Costume Lady said...

Anne, I also grow sweet 100's on my deck. It is very heat tolerant and does well on those hot boards.

Anne-Marie said...

No Cindy, thats sad.....She is a wronged woman... tisk tisk.

Jill said...

And that bad part is we can't say anything because he doesn't know we had any part in it.

Anne-Marie said...

Wait a minute, I know dinner is ready but is the meeting in October like it was last year?

Jill said...

The open house is in October, I would assume. Don't know if they have listed it yet. You bringing Cindy?

Anne-Marie said...

Jill offer to make a scrap book of all the letters and postcards. You could put the cards on clear plastic so both sides could be read.

Costume Lady said...

Jill, I don't see any guy in your photo.

Anne-Marie said...

Ladies , Cindy is a fictional lady that wrote to Norman that she was PG.

Jill said...

October 18 from 10-4 Open House.

Anne-Marie said...

Wanda look at the bike on the seat.

Jill said...

Wanda, click on it, then view full size. Norman isn't a big fellow

Costume Lady said...

A GNOME! :)

Anne-Marie said...

Night, all... Hugs..

Costume Lady said...

Jill, you crack me up!

Costume Lady said...

Good Night Ann.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT

Mema Jo said...

Jill - he should have gotten a postcard from Bamberg Germany lol
Maybe if you make him a scrapbook you will see it.

I need to call it a night
I really would eat a BLT right now!

Good Night Everyone
So glad we're getting everyone back on here. Pleasant dreams & restful sleep. Prayers for all our needs


Belle is a very good mama.....

deb said...

Eagle at Kent 2.

floralgirl said...

Ok, I am following the crowd out the door.... nite all.

Jill said...

Jo, I heard somebody mention Germany the other night so they must have gotten that one.

WANDA-Anne was the one who came up with the Cindy idea

deb said...

Nite, everyone, I am waiting for the sun to come up in Finland!

MITS said...

I haven't a clue what anyone is talking about????:)

Jill said...

Mits you don't know about Norman the gnome?

MITS said...

no Jill, not anything....

Jill said...

Give me a bit and then check your mail.

MITS said...

okie-dokie

MITS said...

waiting for sunup in Finland too, Deb

MITS said...

The Goldens are not there...like they were this time last night

Lolly said...

That makes at least three of us waiting for the sunrise in Finland! :)

deb said...

I was hoping they would be there. One Kent eagle is still in the tree.

MITS said...

it looks foggy in Finland

Jill said...

Okay check your mail Mits.

deb said...

Yes it does, no sunshine yet.
