Wood duck if off her nest - surprised she didn't cover the eggs with the wood chips as she always does. Maybe they will hatch over the weekend.. The 13 eggs are beautiful there in the nest.... so neatly spaced!
I don't think anyone had EJ and her chicks up today or they just didn't mention it. Was reading their update - EJ (from past history) should remove the dead chick within a day or so.
Thanks, Mema....it is difficult to watch...the youngest little chick still there...I didn't see any new updates today on their Blog - the technicians there have been very realistic and sensitive in how they have related the events. Must have been so heartbreaking for them....
No offense taken for sure.... With Quinn and all his friends rooting for the O's - the Nats might not have much of a chance knowing it's his b-day!! lol
Evening Everyone. Got lots to do around here & try to get to bed at decent hour-- (fat chance!!)
Helen gets ANOTHER facial!? What will happen now????
I am now a Blue Marlin--fast and smart, but can weigh up to 1985 lbs!!!!OH NO, Mr. Bill. Read about Loch Garten briefly today & I'm glad I didn't watch it much.I know this is real, natural life, but very disturbing.I used to like the storks, too, but they eat their young---ick.(live ones, to reduce # in nest)
Changing subject--printed out some pics to take for Suz tomorrow and gotta eat more-just had snack when I got home & do dishes, etc. BBS
LORETTA, I didn't have a chance to tell Suz that I was happy for her that she has this chance to witness the banding. She so loves wild life and all that it entails, she will be in 7th heaven. Please tell her that I am so happy she has this chance of a lifetime. I would guess that this isn't a first for you....but I want you to have a good time too. You will enjoy meeting Suz, she is a super person.
Paula, I got a chuckle out of listening to your dogs howling at the sound of the sirens. Our neighbor has 2 dogs which are supposedly part wolf and spitz...they howl like your dogs all the time instead of barking.
Dog is fine...however...hmmmm...they "forgot" to perform part of the surgery. She had a clogged gland in upper eyelid w/ a skin tag--they did it--and she has a golf-ball sized lipoma on her side, and he "apparently forgot" to convey all of the information to the new vet who did the surgery. Argh-h-h. Duh...wouldn't you think the tech would have asked why I wanted her to stay overnight because of the steps because of an EYE??? I'm not a happy customer.
Paula--I enjoyed listening to your dogs, too. They have the wolf sound down pretty good--my sister is on her second hybrid wolf, and I love listening to her, and inciting her to howl!
Time for this bird to hit the sack too... Best wishes for good sleep for all people and pets tonight, and all good things for tomorrow. Prayers on the wing for comfort, joy, peace, and wellness, and for our military personnel in all parts of the world, and their families
Hedgie,Terrible about your vet visit...Duh! I'm sure your PET scan will be ok since you're going to a people hosp! Best wishes. Wanda & Mag, I've worked at Park for over 20 years & been on water only about 4 times & not for anything like this. I've seen songbird banding & my camera went osprey banding few yrs ago, so I have all the pics.Greg, our chief naturalist, had forgotten his! It will be approaching 90 & we're taking metal boat. I'm bringing beach blanket for bench seat, but I think most sit on life preservers!I also wear unbuttoned long-sleeve UVA, UVB protective shirt over other clothes.If you want to be a naturalist, it's fulltime, which I never wanted, so I'm the keeper of the Vis. Ctr. I'm excited to meet Suz and Bob. He's so great, I won't have to take many pics! Will tell Suz Hello from group! Wish Lisa could have made it. BBL--gotta finish cleaning up--fixed me a steak & green beans-Yum!
NatureNut - I think I know how you felt not being able to come up to the nest visit - like I would love to go down for the Osprey banding! Enjoy and have a good time with meeting Suz & Bob.
Good Night for now Restful sleep and pleasant dreams Prayers for all our needs
DANA asked earlier if I was going out for crab legs tonight (I think she asked twice) and I told her yes. I thought she would be there, but she wasn't. She missed some really good eating! Grandson has gone home and I will, once again, have the 'puter all to myself. LOL Loved having him, but a week at a time is long enough.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE... Looks like everyone is sleeping in this morning....that is a GOOD THING. No visitors to our nest since I have been on here. It is 71° right now, going up to 86° with a 50% chance of rain after 4 o'clock. We surely do need the rain...our garden is VERY dry. These HOT days dry the ground out so quickly after a nice rain. Have a great Saturday, ALL.
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---I think we are in for another SUNNY--HOT & HUMID DAY---but temp will stay in 80s--and expect scattered showers later in the day!!---It's Saturday!!--called the 'SLEEP IN DAY'-----temp is 76° here in WV--HOME OF LIBERTY & BELLE----PLUS--3 FREE-LOADING MOUNTAINEERS!!!---Guessing they haven't checked in for their R&R yet!!---LIFE IS GOOD on this last Saturday in JUNE!!!---STEVE---"LIVE WOULD BE GOOD TOO"!!------LET US ALL ENJOY THIS GLORIOUS DAY HERE IN THE MOUNTAINS!!!!---ENJOY LIFE!!
PAULA---I never know if JIM is getting up or going back to bed!!--Must have a hard time sleeping!!--I think that would be awful!!---I am blessed---I sleep like a log!!!----
Check both PANDAS!!---I think I have them straight!!---the 'LITTLE PRINCE' is asleep in his private den!!----The other is a RIOT!!---"HANGING OVER THE WOOD FENCE"!!!---SISSY MUST NOT BE UP YET!!!!!

Loch Garten Parent and Two Chicks extremely restless..I think they are hungry, and wet...did anyone see any meals there today?
I don't think anyone had EJ and her chicks up today or they just didn't mention it. Was reading their update - EJ (from past history) should remove the dead chick within a day or so.
I mentioned grandson's b-day being today - He is headed off to the
O's Game!
Thanks, Mema....it is difficult to watch...the youngest little chick still there...I didn't see any new updates today on their Blog - the technicians there have been very realistic and sensitive in how they have related the events. Must have been so heartbreaking for them....
That's the first link I've had that got the DE osprey site up for me.
They are really beautiful chicks....
looked in on the osprey several times today, the 2 chicks were laying on the dead one
Time for some chow...
BBL

NO offense to my Maryland friends....hope the Nat's beat the O's!!!
No offense taken for sure....
With Quinn and all his friends rooting for the O's - the Nats might not have much of a chance knowing it's his b-day!! lol
No visitors so far this evening in our nest......
shutting down for tonight..GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
Goodnight, Helen!
Good Night Helen...Ocean dreams to you...
Momma Wood Duck has been off the eggs for over 2 hours...
Margy,
Looks rather doubtful that you'll get to see any meteor showers tonight, doesn't it? TOo bad!
Evening Everyone. Got lots to do around here & try to get to bed at decent hour-- (fat chance!!)
Helen gets ANOTHER facial!? What will happen now????

Howdy all...back from walking the dogs...gonna grab a nice glass of zinfandel and put my feet up....will check back in a little while
Power of suggestion..Momma Wood Duck is back on the roost.
No, HEDGIE, regarding meteors...don't think so...had I gotten up at 0430 this morning, I think I might have caught a few..
How is the pooch ????

NATURE NUT: Hope you are not too excited to sleep! I know how I felt the night before the NCTC Nest visit....
Have a Great Time !! Look forward to the pictures you will get...

Gonna shut down for the night. Have to be at the hospital at 8 for my routine PET scan. Too early for THIS bird! Pleasant fowl dreams!
Hedgie - will pray you have a clean
PET scan tomorrow. I agree that these tests are not geared for the late morning risers! Sleep well.
Good luck on your PET scan, Hedgie. I would be really pissed at the Vet too!
Nature and Bob Quinn - Have a blast tomorrow! I had so much fun last year....don't forget to go out to lunch together afterwards!
Wanda - my dogs do it all the time, inside, outside...still cracks me up. Nugz doesn't sound so bad...but Boo...well...he is a different story!
Time for this bird to hit the sack too... Best wishes for good sleep for all people and pets tonight, and all good things for tomorrow.
Prayers on the wing for comfort, joy, peace, and wellness, and for our military personnel in all parts of the world, and their families

Empty Nest, ours, so far.
The Unusual bird at Ferry Boat Finney's, not sure how long it will be there..trying to save it so I can send it..somehow..
RATS - it just flew off...

Blessings, food delivery by Father Osprey at Loch Gartens...dropped it off and away he went.

WOW look at those eaglet wings! Beautiful!
I think Jim went back to bed too soon!
My picture of the landing EAGLET is frozen!!---But I enjoy the pic!!
Thought eaglet was eating...if it was, it wasn't much...looks like lots of flapping going on

PAULA---I never know if JIM is getting up or going back to bed!!--Must have a hard time sleeping!!--I think that would be awful!!---I am blessed---I sleep like a log!!!----

So do I Norma...my head hits that pillow and I am out!

Good morning all! Strange how the wood duck sometimes leaves the eggs uncovered other times no sign of the eggs as she covers them so well.
Hot day here again. Chance of thunder storms tomorrow. Need the rain so badly!!!
