WOW, Thx for that New Thread, Steven.
Is NCTC famous, or what?
There wings are huge, aren't they Barbara!
Welcome! Some things just make ya post a comment, :)
Some eaglet is peeping for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
yes, Babara, they can really stretch out:)
DANA, when you come back on my COMCAST is working again....
I'm not a newbie -- just a long-time lurker. It was just surprising to see wings the full width of the nest. Somebody is getting ready to go up up and away!
We're #1, we're #1!!
I am home from errands, Welcome to Barbara and Magpie.
The two falconettes left at SJ are on the ledge looking out and, maybe thinking of taking off.
Nice to have you join in, Barbara!
And Hey, you are #1, Barbara, congrats!
wouldn't it be neat if one of them fledged when we were there:)

Our babies are whimpering like a puppy. They are hungry and hot and bored...just like my 13 year old grandson!
WELCOME TO THE BLOG, BARBARA!
AREN'T WE SPECIAL?!
Wonder where the hunting party is?
Checked out the CA Allen's hummer on list! 1 chick, 1 egg. Is that the site people have been watching?
(Like I need more! LOL)
Gotta get some chores done BBL
NOW KNOW WHY WE COULD NOT GET INTO COMCAST TODAY......
Comcast.net site is hacked briefly posted 12:23 pm Thu May 29, 2008 - NEW YORK
Hackers took over and defaced Comcast Corp. s Web portal for several hours overnight, leaving a cryptic message on the site that the company's 14.1 million subscribers use to access e-mail, news and technical support. The front page of Comcast.net went down shortly before 11 p.m. EDT Wednesday and was replaced with a note saying the hackers had "RoXed" Comcast, according to postings at BroadbandReports.com. Comcast spokeswoman Jennifer Khoury said late Thursday morning that the hijacking had been reversed, but some users were still unable to access Comcast.net and Web-based e-mail.
There was no indication that e-mail or other private information was compromised by the attack, Comcast said.
The hackers appeared to have seized control of the Comcast.net domain name at registrar Network Solutions Inc. and redirected it to other servers, Khoury said.
"We have alerted law enforcement authorities and are working in conjunction with them," Khoury said.
LOL....JUST KNEW PARENT WAS COMING IN
Parent in nest..probably food....
Yup, eating
Did anyone see what Lib just brought in? Looks like WV road kill.LOL
Hi & Welcome Barbara
I am not so sure that Pearl is going to stick around the nest until we get there on the 7th! She is certainly moving a lot today - I just wish she would settle down & wait for us to get there!!
Email from Suz today saying that life is horrible & she misses us sooooooo much & to be sure each of you knows that!
Heard the noise & had to come back.
What was that? Fish for 1?
Helen, how horrible about Comcast.
Don't know how police find those culprits!
MORE FOOD....
I don't think they can find them, NN
It's a fish Wanda...
OH, had sound down...missed the second food drop.
or a FISH NAMED WANDA.....sorry had to do it:)
LOL, I thought about that, Mits!
Second drop looked like a nice trout
Or 2 fish named Wanda and Wanda....2 in the middle both eating fish!
Name the Eaglets
Back row left to right
Middy - Pearl (OR is it)Pearl - Middy
Tiny is at 6 o"clock or .........
I give up!
LOL....sent hubby the article about COMCAST....and he wrote back he hoped I was not a suspect:):):)
Another food drop?
Parent in nest...
Maybe just cleaning up after the kids.
Heading home, c ya later!
Heard big screaming. Wonder what that 3rd food drop was? At first 2 turned their backs--1 played w/stick. Then parent started sharing, so all got interested!
Of course we are #1!! We have 2 awesome parents and 3 awesome eaglets - with that combination, they cannot resist! :)
Thanks Mema Jo and Glo for the youtube link!! What wonderful memories that brought back. Also, our camera angle is soooo different now, didn't realize it before!
Yes Wanda, that was Glo's hard work!
Who is going to bring the fan and waterhose next week? JUST JOKING!! DON'T ANYBODY BUST MY CHOPS FOR THAT!
lol...GOD will provide the rain and air:):):)
one of them sounds like a snorting pig...
Going out to Sams'
Need to order Grad's cake!
BBL
Sharon - it is exciting to watch our first family of eaglets fledging!
Thanks Jo for the video. It was great!
My gosh, one just sneezed again, don't know if it's the snorting one that was at 6 o'clock. Hope there's no resp. problems :-(
maybe allergic to fish:)
I was reading Larry's Loon Log and there was a boat close to the loon nest yesterday. He finally went and asked them to leave. If you see the loon shaking its head or rubbing its head on its back, it is probably a black fly that only survives on loon blood. The loon will catch the flies and eat them.
Helen, I thought the sound was like a snort also. Do birds get distemper? Or could it be a Pant?
I am going to say it was a feather up their nose!
Good evening everyone. Looking forward to next weekend-seems like a lifetime ago when we last partied. Really can't wait to introduce you fine folk to Buddy (the basset hound).
Thelma
Hey, T-Bird, fancy meeting you here. Buddy the bassett hound is the BOMB!!!!
I have sound but my picture is frozen.????
my cam is OK...hey T-Bird can't wait to see you again.:)
I see a little movement. Maybe they are playing Statue?!
This is a test.
did I just hear a cow????
Ok, got off and got back on and they are moving now. Guess my computer was acting up!
the eaglets seem to be really restless this evening
oh my....it is BUDDY THE BASSETT HOUND:)
cool pic Sharon
yeah it sure is mits
You can sign back in now! :)
They are all facing East (I think) and may be catching a breeze.
I got the backyard mowed, now just have to get the front done before the storms hit. I think we may be in for it tonight. BBL
Batten down the hatches, Deb. Hope the storm doesn't keep you awake tonight!
sun is rising in FINLAND
"THE CHARLESTON GAZETTE" (5/28) has published the story of the PERGRINE FALCONS being moved to the face of the CLIFFS at WV'S NATIONAL PARK SERVICE'S NEW RIVER GORGE NATIONAL RIVER!!---This is third yr of moving falcons from mostly nests built dangerous places!! Cities--bridges, etc.---to the New River Gorge cliff-side enclosures, known as a hacking boxes---It has been most successful!!---www.nps.gov/neri/naturescience/peregrine htm.---(1 line)----or (GOOGLE)--NEW RIVER GORGE NATIONAL RIVER PARK--- ---WORTH READING--
I have actually white-water rafted down the NEW RIVER GORGE and thought I was going to die....almost lost my hubby on that trip, along with my brother-in-law....we got stuck with a newbie guide, who almost killed us all....
sounds like more reinforcement on why whitewater rafting is not for me :)
This is the STORY HEDGEVILLER was referring to----in her blog!!---GREAT write up---but it is long & has pics!!---Get hold of yesterday's CHARLESTON GAZETTE!!
Thanks for reminding me HEDGEVILLER!!----
Weed-whacker? Getting the grounds ready for our visit maybe? Not that we'll even notice weeds !
Sprinkles on the water at loon cam, looks so gentle and peaceful
Had my lawn moved today---I swear I think it was a foot high!!---(almost)-- ho!
Been watching the Allen's Hummingbird site for a couple of hours. That second egg is going around and around in the nest..will it hatch?http://cam.dellwo.com/
While they are whacking weeds, hopefully they will whack all the ticks too!
Now everybody join in - scratching and feeling for ticks!
roflmbo.....where did you move it, Norma???
Norma did you sell your yard? "Yard Sell" lol
Thelma, sure it is fine if you know what you are doing....these were CLASS 3 and 4 rapids, we should not have been out there....but hubby;s cousin thought it would be a fun family reunion
Hi Thelma ( : cute doggie ( :
MAGPIE.....WELCOME...I call my grandaughter that sometimes, she is MARGARET PATRICIA....MAGGIE
I don't know if it would be "fine" for me-I'm a scared!
thanks dana
NO DANA, she just moved, but I don't know where???
that is she mover her lawn:):)
Thank you Mits..Margaret Patricia, a very beautiful name. I have a little wooden sign on the wall near my computer that says "Magpies Roost." These days, I am roosting here a lot!
Magpie, my sign says "Wanda the Witch"
NORMA, I would also like to know to where you MOVED YOUR LAWN? lmbo
well glad you are roosting with us...
Helen, somehow I can't picture you riding the rapids. You must be WILD AND WONDERFUL!
white- water, hot-air ballons, jeep rides in desert....I'm more wild as I get older, Wanda.....
LOLLY if you are around hope you are watching the FINLAND OVER THE WATER NEST. It is beautiful this a.m.
Hello to Magpie & T-bird, Love your dog.
Watched the Spunky fledging--THX Jo for posting. I was a lurker back then, so didn't save any clips. And now I do remember that view of bldgs below.
Weather report does not look good for Nebraska & SE SD! Deb, is that close to you? Plz batten down the hatches!!!
im signing out-everyone stay safe
I have to tell you all that Buddy the Bassett loves his Sissy better than he loves his mommy.
yeah you waited till i signed out to spread such lies!!!!
I thought you loved me!!!???
can't trust you for a minute-okay im done bitching
I can tell you all that if these eaglets are like our first 3, this wing flapping is not the way they fledge. They take their time getting up the nerve to leave that nest!
later
yeah these guys seem ready for action...
AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A DOLLAR FOR EVERY TIME I HAVE TO RESTART THE REAL PLAYER IN A DAY!
I am in Southeast SD, Loretta. (5 miles to Nebraska, 15 miles to Iowa) So far nothing here. There are confirmed tornadoes on the ground, lots of hail, rain and lightening about 45 miles west of here. That is not the storm that will come here. No reports of damage yet. I am watching the one that is still in Nebraska, that is the one that would probably hit me. I am ready, radio and purse at the top of the stairs.
Boy, I sounded like a real know-it-all. I DON'T!! :)
Before you go Thelma, Glad you are coming the Nest with Sharon. We will have fun again!
later everyone all tc
They are thinking they need to tidy up the nest a little bit and then Mom might bring them a big fish!
parent flew in with food
Tidying up worked!! Big ole fish in the sycamore tree!
it was funny, when parent brought it in, all 3 sorta looked at it, and then one grabbed it all for its own
OK, Sharon, what is up with frontier-net..just sent an email to you and Cindi...and it came back permanent failure???????
Sirens are going off, but I don't think it is a tornado, must be a fire. That is the bad thing with volunteer fire department and storms. Ok, they shut off already, so must be a fire somewhere.
lol....parent stole fish from chick
aww, but parent is sharing
Well, I guess Mom showed them who's BOSS.
I've returned! Did anyone find where Norma's yard went? She is really going to be p=##@% when she opens the back door and finds that it is GONE
Such chirping sounds... I would love to know if it is the adult or the eaglets..
Take Care DEB! Do you mean that your purse is at the top of the CELLAR STEPS?
Those are Wild and Wonderful Parents, Helen.
All that peeping is fom the kids, Jo
Could hear them upstairs while I was eating dinner...twice!
Geese just went by
Jo, I don't think Norma has a clue what we are talking about. Hope she doesn't get mad at us and use her cane. LOL
lol.....I'm still laughing at Norma's' lawn missing, she probably thinks it is RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY:):):)
I think Mom made a sort of growling sound when she pulled the fish away. You go girl!
That is 3 or 4 Fishes called Wanda this afternoon and evening.
If you look at FINNY'S NEST to the left in the woods, big bird with a white head...
RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY:):):)
Good one MITS....
Thanks Paula - I thought it was but I wasn't certain. I just love it!
Hello T-Bird and glad to see Buddy!
LOL, I had to reread Norma's post at first to find out what ya'll where talking about at first!
Parent gone...chicks stopped their peeping
Parent arrived right before 6 this evening also...don't know if it brought food then or not
LOl forgot to publish that last comment
Lib sure was on a roll fishing today!
Mits, You're on a roll today. Must have been that vacation or have you had some of Chrissy's pills?? LOL
Wanda - less you forget - WE both have canes!!
Loretta, Mits has always been on a roll. She is Wild and Wonderful and we are just now finding that out!
I don't think the pills that I take would affect me to much....must have been the ocean air...:)
Hey, right, Jo. How can I forget. I used that cane to scare away snakes and scorpions on our trip.
LOL, I think that was belle that came back and stole the fish back from the eaglet, then shared it.
NORMA, BABY....when you come back on, we kid, because we love:)
for those of you who have never met Norma....she is a teeny tiny lady....and I can just see her with her cain, looking for her lawn.
I wonder where Chrissy is? Hope she is feeling better. Have they found Norma's lawn yet? LOL
ok, what I thought was poosibly and eagle at Finny's site in the woods, probably is not cause it ain't moving....like Norma's lawn:)
Helen, Norma's lawn did move.
I think you are all wild and wonderful!! I wanna be there on the 7th!!! And, quit picking on poor Norma.....I moved my yard today too. LOL And, Deb, well she moves all the time!
Well Lolly you & Jack best plan a trip up to WV in OCT!
You know with all that hard work & time that you put into your lawn I am so sorry to here that it moved lol
Hope the weather clears up at Deb's or her lawn may actually move.
We need to all pray that DEB'S lawn
does NOT get moved - with all those storms....... Stay Safe Deb!
Hope everyone has a good night. Talk tomorrow.
well, I have planted that thought in his head! I have to be here right now for graduation. One of my former students is valedictorian. So proud of her!
Then in just two weeks we are heading to Michigan. We will be gone for a couple of weeks on that trip.
BTW, both PH chicks are males!
Nite Ceil
BBILW
Good Night Ceil.
I think I heard on CNN, that there is an APB out for Norma's lawn in Rumney.......:)
Whole family is at OK cam. Guess that is where they spend the night. Like seeing the adults...side by side. Cool!!! As my grandson would say!
Ok Mits - I heard that!
< : ) lol
Make sure you bookmark this!
Candle page for "Buddy" - NNBG eaglet
Light a Candle for Buddy
and how are they doing Paula???? I didn't read any posts last weekend, so I'm still trying to catch up on the news about injured eagles
LOL LOL LOL
MITS: Does Rumney have anything to
do with Rumsey...... I can't find
the zip code for RUMNEY.... They
are never going to find the Yard
if they don't know the Zip. There
is a ROMNEY WV 26757
Thanks Paula for that Info...
Impressive that there are people from 5 different countries recognizing Buddy! What a bonding!
PH eaglets are doing good, last we heard. Skye is eating good and so is Spirit. Spirit will probably go back to the island next week? He will be placed in the hacking tower.
I am hoping we soon get a Robin Fledge Update from Iris. I've been thinking about them..
Thanks Paula! Five countries! WOW!
Well, I left for an hour and you all had a million posts on here. Getting ready for bed now.
Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feather and fur!
Nite Sharon!
The storm is over and my lawn didn't move, although I was a little worried there for awhile. We got wind, rain, hail and lots of lightening. I unplugged computer, etc.
The town of Centerville, SD, (24 miles north of me) is shut down. No travel in or out, we are still waiting on damage reports. We do know power lines are down and they are live. I hope that is the worst of it. 4 tornadoes sighted there, but don't know if any touched down. (950 people in Centerville)
no wonder they can't find her lawn....lol!!
Glad you are okay, Deb. Prayers for those who are not! We seem to be out of the storms for a while. Scary!
well good night everyone....got some things to do and packing up and leaving for Annapolis tomorrow afternoon for the weekend wedding...nite!
Poor Norma!
Nite Mits! You give Norma a hard time and then head for the hills. Shame! LOL
GOOD NIGHT SHARON & HELEN.
Yes, Jo, my purse was at the top of the basement stairs, but I didn't go down, I usually don't. It was a weird storm, you could hear the wind up above us and see the clouds swirling, but no wind below to speak of.
I am watching the storks. There are only two. What happened to the others?, or maybe I do not want to know.
It's Helen's fault that Norma's lawn can't be found. She gave out the wrong town to the Lawn Service.
Lolly, I think I heard the disease was back...someone please correct me if I am wrong.
I noticed that earlier, Lolly, that two of the storks are missing. I went to the website to check and they named all 4 of them this week.
Disease? There has been something wiping out storks?
I found where one chick (Afra, the youngest) died around noon on the 25th, Bree (the second oldest chick) died at about 5:00 p.m. and was thrown out of the nest. The cause of death is still unknown.
Well, I guess it is a good thing I was not watching that cam.
Is the stork cam you all are watching the same one that Hugo was in last year?
Can't answer that,Sharon. I was not watching last year.
I really had not started to watch the storks ever since the other year when little Hugo died (probably same disease) Broke my heart..
Deb I am thankful the storms are over for you now. That can be so scary!
The storms near the ocean freak me out.. But I do like watching the lightning at a far distance.
I was looking at CHIL forum...can't find the info I read...
About the storks
I be da#@%&.....they died in Hugo's nest!!!!!!...somebody hold me back....I'm going to take Norma's lawn over there and dump it on them!!!!!!! I think if you go onto their site, you might find out the story of Little Hugo from 2 years ago...
Thx Paula for Buddy candle.
Saw some weather & showed your area, Deb, in the "moderate" range!
Hope everyone is OK elsewhere.
BTW, we have good friends, now back home in Paw Paw, WV. Amazingly, today their LAWN sprang up like Jack and the Beanstalk!!!!
The two chicks were both wheezing from what I read on the Maine forum. Sounds like the same thing Hugo had from the way they were talking. News is on, BBL.
I hadn't seen other posts about storks. I had been reading alot today about avian pox and saw that MANY species are susceptible to lots of different illnesses. Storks were mentioned, but I don't remember which disease. Will go back & look.
The stork diease is something like asperilla ? aspergilla ?
Caught the ferry....that's my signal to clear out of here. See you tomorrow!! Sweet dreams!
Gnite all!
Luckily for Centerville, SD, only trees and power lines down. 80 mile an hour winds hit, not a tornado. I am sure shingles are missing, too, but they are easily replaced.
Loretta, are you saying that you think Norma's lawn ended up in Paw Paw?
Night, everyone.
@S&%(XXX Couldn't get on this page.
Checked Stork news for '06 and Hugo succumbed to Aspergillosis.
No new news for '08.
Might check their forum.
I missed the ferry- pc locked up!
Everyone have a peaceful sleep
Prayers for all our needs being said
Tomorrow is Friday - came so soon..
Good Night!
OK, my body is telling me to go to bed...I planted 24 red, yellow and green pepper plants today, along with a row of lima beans and pulled weeds.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS....(special one for Buddy)
Wanda Fish, It could be there!!!
LOL
Are we bad?
Watching the white stork nest now. Parent standing over babies. I'm very worried, only see movement from one. All that constant cheeping, is it from sparrows or something? Just saw a little bird like a sparrow on the bottom edge of the nest. And what is going whoo-whoo who who so often? I was watching late overnight last night and saw a beautiful exchange take place between the two adults, and the two chicks were active then. Something is very somber about this.
Okay, my heart is beating again. Second stork chick finally raised its head and is making some noise. Time was definitely standing still for awhile.
Been reading the stork forum. No official diagnosis about the chicks' deaths. The one was consumed by Cico and 2nd one thrown from nest by parents---5-25.
2 days prior, one chick consumed a snake & one a frog.Don't know if either of them were one's that died.Some people thought the frog was too big to go all the way down.But I think it would have choked immediately, not 2 days later.Of the 2 left, on one day, 5-25, folks were alarmed that one seemed lethargic, but since then they have appeared normal and growing.
Would like to know if they could have retrieved the one and studied it for cause of death.
Understand that whatever happens, people don't intervene (like Meerkats). :>(
Sorry for the tome!
Those little chirpers are all the other songbirds around---love to see some perch in bottom of nest.
Think the whoos might be doves.
That's the noisiest site next to Isla, Scottish osprey!
Gotta Go
Good Night Everyone, Feather Dreams
naturenut, that's helpful. Thanks. Yes, those birds are chirpie all right. I have seen several little sparrow-like birds come in and out of the bottom of the nest for the last hour. Time for Sleep! I like that, feather dreams!
Pearl, Middie and Spunky are probably having food dreams!
