I have seen wind turbines somewhere in the area coming back from Morgantown, maybe near Cumberland or Frostburg? Where are these? In Maryland somewhere?

I have a friend with land in Tucker County, and she is HOT about the proposed ridgetop things going on, power plant, which will take everything away from WV, but leave all the "fall-out" behind. Guess I better "learn up" on it. Article today in paper about the last warning on Global Warming..another HOT topic.

It's a shame EVE had to eat the apple!

magpie said...

I see we have another Freeloader...

magpie said...

second child, that is, maybe it was there before and my GREAT EYES missed it...

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Tiny in the nest with a fish...but I think she's done...over by the launch pad!

paula eagleholic said...

Heck no, Lolly on the hairstyle...

paula eagleholic said...

Going out back....bbialw

Mits, any dolphins yet?

MITS said...

Dolphins the other day, Paula, none today.....ocean temp is 72, but think this is around baby time...will start seeing little dorsal fins soon

paula eagleholic said...

Tiny is still at the launch pad...cam acting up...don't think the breeze helps it.

magpie said...

Fort St. Vrain in Colo, looks pretty empty, exc for turtle shells. Went back thru some daily pictures, saw the parent and one eaglet; it is time I think.
That hummingbird action at the cam in the Rain Forest is hilarious! Looks like a trampoline. Chrissy sent it on the Yahoo. Some of those birdies are pretty big..

OK THAT DID NOT WORK, AND MY TRASH CAN IS NOT THERE

MITS said...

got my trash can back:)

magpie said...

I think Tiny is getting a Western Suntan...

Thanks, Mits....You're good to me..

Going for my nap before midnight shift now.....

Hope everyone has a wonderful evening.

xoxoxox

magpie said...

Everyone needs a trash can. Even at the Ocean !

MITS said...

love to watch the beach cleaners at night

MITS said...

CHRISSY'S HUMMERS

MITS said...

ok it worked that time...

magpie said...

one last thing....I asked a naturalist friend about the big fish and gold fish I saw last night, and here is what he thinks:

"I wonder if the fish you saw are Grass Carp. People put
them in ponds to keep the water weeds under control. The gold one may be a Koi. "

Sounds good to me. I was wondering if a tee-tiny goldfish could mate with a big ugly carp!

'Night now.
xo

magpie said...

..Perfecto, MITS...Hooray for Chrissy for passing this one....

paula eagleholic said...

Moving around a little..under the cam...wing flap in the middle, Poop shot at the far end...and back to the launch pad with a big hop, spread wings, but hasn't left yet

MITS said...

lol....get some sleep, Magpie

paula eagleholic said...

Still there...another liitle hop to the right...hmmm tried to fly up and missed...landed ok back in the nest!

paula eagleholic said...

Think she was trying to perch on the small branch at around 2ish in the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Tiny must be enjoying having the nest all to herself....still standing near the launch pad...just looking around.

deb said...

Tiny is gone, empty nest. I have been gone all afternoon. I took the dogs for a long walk, but it was so humid, I think they wanted a short walk.

Ceil, I hope you feel better.

Magpie, goldfish are members of the carp family. I have no idea why I know that, heard it somewhere.

Here we go again, blogger cop.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL Deb, I tried to post that at 7:20, that Tiny was gone...blogger having issues again!

Back from the walk, sure felt good!

paula eagleholic said...

MT nest!

paula eagleholic said...

Blogger seems to be working again...oops...I didn't say that!

paula eagleholic said...

Gotta go out and shore up a couple of plants I transplanted...the fierce wind was not so kind to them last night...

deb said...

There was a food delivery with a very fast takeover by an eaglet. Adult still in the nest.

deb said...

Parent left.

deb said...

Two eaglets in OK nest. I think our live feed is frozen.

paula eagleholic said...

Eaglet in our nest!

Make that 2!!

deb said...

My live feed is working again.

paula eagleholic said...

Tiny is eating. Not sure if Middy or Pearl is other eaglet

paula eagleholic said...

Oohhhh, that was a nice fish parent brought it

deb said...

Was that spidey, it looked really weird.

deb said...

All three now!

paula eagleholic said...

I don't know Deb, I am still watching the rewind!

Trying to catch #2 coming in

paula eagleholic said...

Looked Like Lib delivered the goods!

paula eagleholic said...

I think 2nd one in was Pearl, Tiny let him know he wasn't appreciated!

paula eagleholic said...

Eww, were you talking about that long white thin?

paula eagleholic said...

I kinda think that was an eaglet wing!

deb said...

Yes, gross. I wish the picture was clearer, they are having quite the food fight in the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

It was on both sides of the cam...

paula eagleholic said...

OMG deb, those were talons hanging over the cam!!

paula eagleholic said...

Eaglet was looking right up at the cam while other one was on it...doing video now!

deb said...

I thought it was a wing once and then it looked too skinny and white.

deb said...

Ok, you are right, that's why they were too big to be spidey. I was thinking that was one big spider.

paula eagleholic said...

Then eaglet hopped right into nest on the far side...cool!

deb said...

And we wonder why the cam doesn't work right sometimes. I think we are down to two again.

paula eagleholic said...

LOl Pearl stole it right out from under Tiny

paula eagleholic said...

I saw one take off also

paula eagleholic said...

2nd one took off...one left at the back of the nest

paula eagleholic said...

Spidey is still around!

deb said...

It's hard to see most of the time, but now you can see the eaglet and the bug!

deb said...

I think there might be two of them in the nest. one under the spider. Move spidey!

deb said...

Maybe it is just web that I see moving.

deb said...

One laying in the nest, is there another at 11 o'clock?

paula eagleholic said...

Deb, two of em took off...only one laying at 11ish

deb said...

Yeah, I decided it is just the fuzz and web that was looking like something was there.

ceil said...

Funny Deb and Paula commentary on the eaglets and the one on the cam. Nice to see one spending the night. Good night everyone. Pleasant dreams.

ceil said...

I peeked into the nest one more time. What is that running across the cam? Spidey's dinner?

deb said...

Sometimes it is spidey and sometimes I think it looks like a bug.

ceil said...

It looks like a bug Deb. Spidey is bigger.

ceil said...

Good night again.

deb said...

I figured it must be a spider, because if it were a bug, it would get caught in the web. It is way smaller than spidey was before.

paula eagleholic said...

Good night, Ceil. Hope you feel better tomorrow!

paula eagleholic said...

Eaglet must be pooped...some big wing stretches.

paula eagleholic said...

Up with a big stretch and a poop shoot...

paula eagleholic said...

Eaglet finally layed back down...

paula eagleholic said...

Going to pack it in for tonight...see ya'll tomorrow!

Mema Jo said...

Sounds like a good idea!

Good Night
Prayers for all our needs being said
Pleasant dreams & peaceful sleep

MITS said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE Ceil hope you feel better soon.

Lolly said...

We sat outside after dinner til really late. When we came in Jack got on the computer. I did not say a thing! Now I get on and everyone is saying good nite. :(

Magpie, laughed at your "kiddie cam". Just watching little ones and not interfering can be so rewarding!

Paula, hope you got a good video on the talons on the cam. Would love to see that.

NatureNut said...

Good good night everyone! Taken me all PM to check email & read blog. Those talons were creepy on the cam!!!
Nat'l Aquarium staff from Baltimore today and tomorrow will be going out to see osprey banding at the Park.They were out about 3 hours. One of the lowest nos. of young birds there ever, probably due to the bad storms this spring.
Speaking of river and fish, goldfish and koi ARE carp, the latter being a more ornamental and domesticated variety.Some people let their pet fish go or they escape from ponds. Our ospreys eat many a HUGE orange carp.(Got pic of one on the Blogspot.) Remnants are found in nests.
Hope Ceil feels better and everyone else w/ailments. And hope Chrissy will be talking at us soon!

hedgie said...

Good night, all. Feel better, Ceil!

magpie said...

Hi to anyone still up and here. Just got up from nap, gotta hustle to get ready for work.
Missed all the Eaglet Action, hope to see it in a video too...all I see now is twinkly stuff and maybe some spider silk.

LOLLY - yes, the kids are fun....a nice feature to living here "in town" though I miss being more out in the wilderness.

NATURE NUT - thanks for the info on the KOI and carp and things. Would never have thought of sweet precious little goldfish as CARP! I will watch for your pic, couldn't find it yet on your Blog.

Good Night to All, God Bless Us Every One.

xoxoxo

Lolly said...

We have goldfish in our pond. We do not have koi as they eat plants. Goldfish leave the plants alone. Have lost goldfish to herons. Chased one out of the yard one day.

Nite all! I am calling it a day. Sweet dreams!

Costume Lady said...

Grandson beat me to the 'puter this afternoon. Got into other projects and never did get back on here. Everyone's in bed....I'm headed that way too.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS
