Good Morning and Happy Independence Day to Everyone.
The old nest looks pretty empty this morning, guess the kids are exercising their freedoms.
Happy Day to All, for whatever is on your "Dance Cards."
PAULA - Get well wishes and prayers for you...and all others who are not their 100% selves today. Remember that old salt-water gargle remedy, works pretty well for some things....and I sure hope it is not what CEIL has...
If it's any consolation, Blogger Cop got my first post also....
MORNIN' MAGPIE!!---I like your 'MAGPIE'!!---I need to find something too!!---I had an EAGLE--it just flew away!!---You can't go wrong with 'salt water'!!---My mother always thought it was good for what ails you!!!!
THANKS NORMA: Deb had the picture from the South Dakota Badlands, and with some computer walk throughs from her and HEDGIE, I got it on there. Small miracle... I'm not good at a lot of technical things.
GOOD MORNING ALL - KEEP JUMPING ON HERE ! HOLLER WHEN THE EAGLES SHOW UP...I'M GOING BACK TO BED WITH COFFEE AND SOME READING FOR AWHILE..
Happy Birthday, America! Great eagle pic, Steve. Thanks! Hope everyone has a great day. Heading to Ranson for picnic w/ daughters' in-laws. Paula--I had a bad sore throat for two days w/ a little tickly cough, but took some Mucinex DM and Tylenol and it's gone today! I, too, hope it's not what Ceil has! Check back w/ you all this evening!
I copied my post just in case the Blogger Cop was waiting for me like he was for you Paula & Margie. Hope you feel much better as the day goes on, Paula.
Going over to check any early morning happenings..... and look at some cams.
I don't want you all to think I am a fibber (about bed books and coffee) but I just jumped on GOOGLE to look up a bird, and the Google pic is very patriotic looking this morning...all red white blue and fireworksy...
DEB: I was checking out Hooded Crow - and I think you are exactly right! Looks just like what has been coming to the Ferry Boat Finney's nest....You are an Ornithological WHIZ! I'll just think of you as Professor Deb from now on....
and PAULA: When the LONE BLUE MARLIN SPEAKS: you must listen, she is our PROTECTOR !
Paula, Love your new pic! Norma, I've sort of recovered...have not been able to be night owl & I got up at an early 9AM!!!today.Gotta keep that up as I go to Park Sat. & Mon. & have to get up at 6:30!! I saw so many things up close on banding trip, that I've got an urge to get back out there on a boat!!!Maybe if they go out on some mission on one of my day's off, I can tag along & be a volunteer!
(i know you are wondering what the 'LITTLE PRINCE' is doing?---ho! he is sitting in bamboo --- up to his arm pits---eating with both hands!)---He is a 'HAPPY CAMPER' this a.m.---
Since I've learned from camera here that juvies do come back to the nest maybe for meals, I keep checking nest at Park, but it's been MT.I only get to go there after 4PM when I'm working, so there might be somebody there at other times.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE... I wish a beautiful day for us all and happy times with our friends and family. My friends and family will be at my Mother's (she is so close to the fireworks, it seems they may fall on you). Any of my friends on here who would like to join us to see the fireworks, are sooo welcome. Just email me, and I will give you directions. If you come a little before the fireworks, Gene my give you a pork chop or bratwurst. ENJOY YOUR SPECIAL DAY!
Company he you FRIENDS later enjoy this AMERICAN DAY....even it is just you ....remember there are FRIENDS on here and also you're never really by yourself....SOMEONE IS ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT YOU!! ( : ( :
..out for more coffee then back to pillows and books. I might need some help, I am checking out three books that all people tell me I won't be able to put down, and I don't have enough hands for it:
-The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch -On the Wing (To the Edge of the Earth with the Peregrine Falcon) by Alan Tennant - Signals, by Joel Rotschild
-But I started it all out with a little book called "God Thinks You'r Wonderful" by Max Lucado.
All of these are birthday books (Psych - I got past you all exc Chrissy on July 1 ! - tee hee) -
DANA - You are so sweet and sensitive, "I am, but I'm not..." (alone that is)...
PAULA: THE BLUE MARLIN AND THE LONE SWORDFISH ARE WATCHING OUT FOR YOU !!
DEB--- CUTE?----Don't they look 'guilty'----as if they are being punished for something!!!--or could be if they move---they will lose their place---ho!
We are home! Has taken me forever to go through email. Do not plan to check blog unless someone tells me there is something I have to see. :) Checked the latest facials. I think I want Sharon's facial!!
We are having a quiet 4th since we just returned home. Had a great time visiting and shopping with my sister and her family. She will be up here next week so we get to see each other again. Wahoo! They are heading to New Mex and Colorado in their RV.
WHOA---MAGPIE!!!---Which one are you really reading?----they all sound good!-----My reading isn't that heavy---reading about Frank Lloyd Wright---interesting but not the greatest!!---But I enjoy reading anything I can about him!
PAULA!---That's what I thought I read!----No one else said anything-----so I thought she was kidding!!! But I didn't think she wanted to be bothered---she is reading & napping & drinking coffee all at one time!!----SHE'S TOO COOL!!!--ho!
Magpie, when you wake up, come to my Mother's house and we can pretend that today is your birthday and celebrate. We will even shoot off fireworks for you!!
Thanks, fellow Eagle Friends. I appreciate the greetings, and sometimes secrets can be fun... It's pretty hard to pull a fasty on all of you...
I just read two chapters of On The Wing, and I think I am hooked. The author has already mentioned Port of Houston, Patuxent, Santa Cruz, and US Fish and Wildlife, so I am in somewhat familiar territory, knowing all of you and your contacts. Now time to pick up some pieces around here, as I definitely put reading on my list before Housework!
BIRTHDAY GIRL!!---You are smarter than I was at your age!!---It took me YEARS to learn---it's okay to put most everything ahead of house work!!----I've never heard of anyone being remembered for having a clean house!!!----HAVE YOU?
Happy Fourth Was just checking nest & they are put partying I guess. Ployed Glo's Flag Day,Spunky Fledge video twice & brought tears to my ears!Fwd it to family and friends--think it's appropriate for today!
BTW.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MARGY.... no wonder you kept it a secret..you share date w/our kitty!!!!!
oops...sp errors in last post. They are saying we might get pm/early eve rain...might be yours!!! But should be done for fireworks, I hope. We usually watch show from Capitol on PBS.
Margy, we are at my Moms's now. We have the Eagle Express here and are going to grill under the awning. We will party, come rain or shine. Come on over....Any of you Momsters neaby, come on over!!
Okay Captain and First Mate...I am waiting for a chicken in the oven to finish baking...din=din for work for the week-end, and it has about 45 mins to go..
Then I think I will pull on my bibs and rain coat and head over, unless "you know where" rings me up first...
I knew we were going to get "some rain" but didn't think it was going to be "this much." Holds down the house and brush fires from stray fireworks though...makes for some soggy feathers!
Love all the patriotic avatars today... Go America!
THANKS..WILL BE NICE TO SEE SOME EAGLE PALS.. - THOUGH I CHECK YOUR PHOTOS OFTEN PAULA, FROM, THE NEST VISIT DAY...BUT IT WILL NICE TO A COUPLE OF PALS IN PERSON...AND MEET WANDA'S MOM...
WOW, just checking nest--missed chicklets, but see CHRISSY was here!!!!! Good to hear from you! Hope everyone is feeling better. That means you, too, Paula. My belly messed up, so I'll end up having mashed potatoes for dinner! BOO
Hopr Magpie & Wanda have a good get together!!! BBL
Just stopped raining here- bad for cookouts and fireworks, but a nice rain for the garden.. but it has stopped now so most firework shows should be able to go off. Been cutting flowers in the rain.. off to find some dry clothes..
Hello fowl friends! Caught up w/ the blogs...Hey Chrissy, glad to see you back--thanks for wishing the Yanks a happy Independence Day!!! I would love to see how your history books look at it!! Hope everyone has had a good day. Picnic was fine, and then rain started right after 3...and it hasn't completely stopped since! Looks like we may be in for it all night, but it is the kind we need. Just heard that Martinsburg canceled fireworks. Sorry Maggie, Wanda and Gene! I watched A Capitol Fourth--as always, ( you can take the girl out of DC but you can't take DC out of the girl!) and now the fireworks on WETA. Glad the rain held off down there! Hope our eagle family isn't startled by all the noise of fireworks around the area!
Hi Hedgie, Didn't know you were from DC! I was born there, but I think they tore down that hosp. since!!LOL Just watched the whole Capitol show & after was a short on the pyrotechnics. You can see the whole DC fireworks show on 321Fireworks.com
I have just returned from the picnic at Wanda's Mother's place, about 6 blocks from here. GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT FOOD. And the Eagle Express Rides Again! Captain Eagle had the awning out to shield him from the rain while he rustled up some great dogs, pork chops, and bratwurst, cooked to perfection. Other specialties included hot crab dip, spinach dip, fruit salad, "electric watermelon," (i.e. soaked in something exotic). I met Wanda's Mom (a delightful, bright, keen lady...) Wanda and Gene's two daughters, four grandchildren, and associated spouses, friends, and doggies. (I might not have all those numbers correct...). The neighbors had a lot of whiz-bangs going, but a city officer showed up to remind everyone that anything that goes up in the air is illegal...but the kids still could light off some nice "fountains" with jazzy colors. The Park's fireworks were postponed 'til Saturday night.
IT WAS A TRULY GREAT WARM FRIENDLY PICNIC, AND I WISH EVERYONE COULD HAVE BEEN THERE WITH US TOO!
To clarify about the rain...it was raining at 11 when I left Hedgesville, but hadn't started yet in Jefferson County; started there at 3, and I've been in rain ever since, there, all the way home, and still here!
Sounds like you had a great time Margy!! Wish I had known before I got home--I could have stopped in on my way! Wanda and the Captain are so-o-o gracious, and she is such a beautiful lady!
Magpie, you share a birthday with Nilla...her's is on the 1st also and so is my son Patrick's...SO
BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADY, we will be ready next year!!!
Norma, you crack me up, for sure no one will ever remember me for having a "clean" house...I am too much of a packrat for that! Clutter is my middle name...much to Dean's sorrow.
HEDGIE - thanks for the Greetings, I see I share my birth date with some GREAT PEOPLE! The older we get, the more important it is to(try) to keep our birthdays a secret!
PS ON PICNIC POST; WANDA IS AS PRETTY AS EVER, AND GENE AS HANDSOME AS EVER ! (I know they are going to check up on my report so I thought I better add this important detail !)
Loretta...I was born at "old" Providence Hospital. Not sure if new one is on same site, tho'!Can't remember! Not a whole lot of us DC natives! Oh, Margy..Happy belated Birthday!!!
Loretta...the short on the pyro's is just a taped rerun of 2004...they've been playing the same one for 4 yrs. now! Crazy! Still good, but.... Did you by any chance see the piece on CBS Sunday Morning about the condition of The Mall...really deteriorating...so sad. Of course, when they keep allowing festivals and protests, etc., what can't they expect? When I was growing up, the 4th festivities and MLK speech were the only things that drew crowds!
IRIS: oooops, sorry, I got my beautiful two ladies mixed up:
YOUR son,(not Hedgies, sorry) NatureNut's Kitty, Nilla, and I share the same birthday, and who and what other pets? Thanks for the greetings, everyone.
I think I am headed for the pillows and blankies now...gotta click in at 0700 Saturday.
Good Night To All...
and THANKS AGAIN CAPTAIN EAGLE AND FIRST MATE WANDA!
Prayers for all, for wellness, joy, comfort, serenity, safety, and peace.
Just got back to Bedford from Claytor Lake where I was blessed to be able to spend some time with family, friends and see some fireworks. See you in the morning light. Thelma
I think I must be the last one coming into the nest. Picnic turned into a party and we just got home about 30min. ago. It was wonderful to have my whole family together; that's hard to do what with so many different schedules. We were so glad Margy came to spend the evening with us. Everyone liked her and Mom thought she was a real sweetheart. When the police stopped to tell us about illegal fireworks, the crowd accused her of being a spy for 911! (just kidding her, of course) Wish all of you could have been there. Maybe next picnic.
Good Morning Early Birds.. Nest is empty so far - Don't you just wonder where those birds are when they are not in the nest. And I often wonder about our three babies from two years ago...just where are they these days?
At Ferry Boat Finneys, there is a nice little boat moored near the shore and has been there for several hours... wonder what the people are doing.
- Loch Garten nest dark, they might be doing the ringing and tagging. - Loch Lowes, windy! - Finney Nest, three nice little "reptiles" snuggled down in the nest- I think Mother is feeding - - Pic Controller - buck deer with antlers, and other deer - Sea Eagles, camera angle has been changed.. -Some things to watch while waiting for our OUR Eagles.
HEY NORMA BYRD: I never got to any housecleaning yesterday, just dishes and pick-up...
GOOD BEAUTIFUL SATURDAY MORNING ALL.
NATURE NUT: I'm working today too..figure we are both us trying to watch the nest and get ready - multi-tasking!
Good morning Magpie and all Eagle Momsters. Sure wish live feed was up. We have two eaglets in the nest and one that was really showing off its wing span as soon as I logged in this morning.
Feeling a little better today...have to go to work in Hagerstown for a couple of hours this morning...planning on heading over to the nest after that...rain or shine...too close not to stop by!
Speaking of DC, I am originally from Silver Spring...Mom still down there...been in Frederick County (gulp) almost 30 years!!
(2nd edition--blog ate the 1st one) GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES---CONGRATS!! MAGPIE---You are our EAGLE MOM--today & every day!!!---MORNIN' T-BIRD---Hope you "HONEYMOONERS" didn't have all the rain we did!!-----It's a cool grey skied am here WV---"HOME OF BELLE & LIBERTY---PLUS 3 MOUNTAINEERS"---which were here earlier I understand---They report in for a 'food drop' every now & then!!---WELL! now that I have had my SEATTLE BREW!!

Thanks, fellow Eagle Friends. I appreciate the greetings, and sometimes secrets can be fun... It's pretty hard to pull a fasty on all of you...

Now time to pick up some pieces around here, as I definitely put reading on my list before Housework!
Rest is good, Paula. GERMS HATE REST !

Okay Captain and First Mate...I am waiting for a chicken in the oven to finish baking...din=din for work for the week-end, and it has about 45 mins to go..
Then I think I will pull on my bibs and rain coat and head over, unless "you know where" rings me up first...
I knew we were going to get "some rain" but didn't think it was going to be "this much." Holds down the house and brush fires from stray fireworks though...makes for some soggy feathers!
Love all the patriotic avatars today... Go America!
Safe Travels, all, watch the wet roads.
What a treat to see that name on the Blog: C H R I S S Y !!
Love to you both.
..AND, Chrissy made comment #100....!
Howdy, all. Looks like it's a wet 4th! Rain here also!
Nice to hear from you Chrissy - thanks for the Independence Day good wishes!
Magpie, have fun with Wanda and the Capt!
Hope everyone's cookouts aren't getting rained out!
I think our horsie is peeling away! Nest looks wet, too.
Both eaglets residing in the hacktower on Santa Cruz, A64 (Spirit) and A66 (Survivor) have fledged!
Skye (A65) is still recoving at the vets on the mainland - he has not been placed in the hacktower yet.
Two Wet Juves OUT NEST !!

Wet Eaglet alert our nest!!

WOW, just checking nest--missed chicklets, but see CHRISSY was here!!!!! Good to hear from you! Hope everyone is feeling better.
That means you, too, Paula. My belly messed up, so I'll end up having mashed potatoes for dinner! BOO
Hopr Magpie & Wanda have a good get together!!! BBL
Just stopped raining here- bad for cookouts and fireworks, but a nice rain for the garden.. but it has stopped now so most firework shows should be able to go off. Been cutting flowers in the rain.. off to find some dry clothes..
Have really been taking it easy today. Guess I have crashed after our quick trip.
Yea Chrissy! So happy you got on the blog!!
Wanda.....wish we could hop on over. But, unfortunately, it would be too big of a hop!
Chrissy....gets a facial?!!! WOW! That should really make her feel great!!! And, Frank, will wonder what hit him!!!LOL
Hello fowl friends! Caught up w/ the blogs...Hey Chrissy, glad to see you back--thanks for wishing the Yanks a happy Independence Day!!! I would love to see how your history books look at it!!
Hope everyone has had a good day. Picnic was fine, and then rain started right after 3...and it hasn't completely stopped since! Looks like we may be in for it all night, but it is the kind we need. Just heard that Martinsburg canceled fireworks. Sorry Maggie, Wanda and Gene! I watched A Capitol Fourth--as always, ( you can take the girl out of DC but you can't take DC out of the girl!) and now the fireworks on WETA. Glad the rain held off down there!
Hope our eagle family isn't startled by all the noise of fireworks around the area!
It's about time for Chrissy to get a facial! Can't wait to see what Wanda comes up with!!! A Union Jack in the background would be good!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BEV AND TOM!!!!
ANY MANY MORE!!!
Hi Hedgie, Didn't know you were from DC! I was born there, but I think they tore down that hosp. since!!LOL
Just watched the whole Capitol show & after was a short on the pyrotechnics. You can see the whole DC fireworks show on
321Fireworks.com
WOW, DOUBLE WOW !!
I have just returned from the picnic at Wanda's Mother's place, about 6 blocks from here. GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT FOOD. And the Eagle Express Rides Again! Captain Eagle had the awning out to shield him from the rain while he rustled up some great dogs, pork chops, and bratwurst, cooked to perfection. Other specialties included hot crab dip, spinach dip, fruit salad, "electric watermelon," (i.e. soaked in something exotic). I met Wanda's Mom (a delightful, bright, keen lady...) Wanda and Gene's two daughters, four grandchildren, and associated spouses, friends, and doggies. (I might not have all those numbers correct...). The neighbors had a lot of whiz-bangs going, but a city officer showed up to remind everyone that anything that goes up in the air is illegal...but the kids still could light off some nice "fountains" with jazzy colors.
The Park's fireworks were postponed 'til Saturday night.
IT WAS A TRULY GREAT WARM FRIENDLY PICNIC, AND I WISH EVERYONE COULD HAVE BEEN THERE WITH US TOO!
TTFN, will check back before bedtime.
To clarify about the rain...it was raining at 11 when I left Hedgesville, but hadn't started yet in Jefferson County; started there at 3, and I've been in rain ever since, there, all the way home, and still here!
Sounds like you had a great time Margy!! Wish I had known before I got home--I could have stopped in on my way! Wanda and the Captain are so-o-o gracious, and she is such a beautiful lady!
Magpie, you share a birthday with Nilla...her's is on the 1st also and so is my son Patrick's...SO
BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADY, we will be ready next year!!!
Norma, you crack me up, for sure no one will ever remember me for having a "clean" house...I am too much of a packrat for that! Clutter is my middle name...much to Dean's sorrow.
Love to you all, Happy 4th of July!
HEDGIE - thanks for the Greetings, I see I share my birth date with some GREAT PEOPLE!
The older we get, the more important it is to(try) to keep our birthdays a secret!
PS ON PICNIC POST;
WANDA IS AS PRETTY AS EVER, AND GENE AS HANDSOME AS EVER ! (I know they are going to check up on my report so I thought I better add this important detail !)
xo
Gotta work in AM, so signing off.
Hope everyone had a Happy 4th!!!!
Night, Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)
Loretta...I was born at "old" Providence Hospital. Not sure if new one is on same site, tho'!Can't remember! Not a whole lot of us DC natives!
Oh, Margy..Happy belated Birthday!!!
Loretta...the short on the pyro's is just a taped rerun of 2004...they've been playing the same one for 4 yrs. now! Crazy! Still good, but....
Did you by any chance see the piece on CBS Sunday Morning about the condition of The Mall...really deteriorating...so sad. Of course, when they keep allowing festivals and protests, etc., what can't they expect? When I was growing up, the 4th festivities and MLK speech were the only things that drew crowds!
IRIS: oooops, sorry, I got my beautiful two ladies mixed up:
YOUR son,(not Hedgies, sorry) NatureNut's Kitty, Nilla, and I share the same birthday, and who and what other pets? Thanks for the greetings, everyone.
I think I am headed for the pillows and blankies now...gotta click in at 0700 Saturday.
Good Night To All...
and THANKS AGAIN CAPTAIN EAGLE AND FIRST MATE WANDA!
Prayers for all, for wellness, joy, comfort, serenity, safety, and peace.
xo
Just got back to Bedford from Claytor Lake where I was blessed to be able to spend some time with family, friends and see some fireworks. See you in the morning light.
Thelma
Good night all! Pleasant dreams. Hope everyone made it safely to your nests!
I think I must be the last one coming into the nest. Picnic turned into a party and we just got home about 30min. ago. It was wonderful to have my whole family together; that's hard to do what with so many different schedules.
We were so glad Margy came to spend the evening with us. Everyone liked her and Mom thought she was a real sweetheart.
When the police stopped to tell us about illegal fireworks, the crowd accused her of being a spy for 911!
(just kidding her, of course)
Wish all of you could have been there. Maybe next picnic.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS....(safe travels for all)
Good Morning Early Birds..
Nest is empty so far - Don't you just wonder where those birds are when they are not in the nest. And I often wonder about our three babies from two years ago...just where are they these days?
At Ferry Boat Finneys, there is a nice little boat moored near the shore and has been there for several hours... wonder what the people are doing.
http://natureit.net/site/saaksikamera.php?cam=seili-wide&refresh=15
I saw THREE hooded crows there in the middle of the night.
- Loch Garten nest dark, they might be doing the ringing and tagging.
- Loch Lowes, windy!
- Finney Nest, three nice little "reptiles" snuggled down in the nest- I think Mother is feeding -
- Pic Controller - buck deer with antlers, and other deer
- Sea Eagles, camera angle has been changed..
-Some things to watch while waiting for our OUR Eagles.
HEY NORMA BYRD: I never got to any housecleaning yesterday, just dishes and pick-up...
GOOD BEAUTIFUL SATURDAY MORNING ALL.
NATURE NUT: I'm working today too..figure we are both us trying to watch the nest and get ready - multi-tasking!
xo
Just saw THREE hooded crows at Ferry boat Finneys...
EAGLET ALERT OUR NEST - THINK IT IS TINY - HE IS AT THE LAUNCH PAD -DON'T THINK HE WILL STAY THERE LONG - oh make that TWO MOUNTAINEERS !
Good morning Magpie and all Eagle Momsters. Sure wish live feed was up. We have two eaglets in the nest and one that was really showing off its wing span as soon as I logged in this morning.
THAT WAS ENTIRELY TOO SWIFT, THEY HAVE LEFT ALREADY - WHY DO THEY TEASE US LIKE THAT ???
NORMA: I will miss your early morning HO'S...
COSTUME LADY: you have a BEAUTIFUL, GRACIOUS FAMILY, from TOP TO BOTTOM AND EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN.
I have to got to head out, time for work. THE EAGLES ARE ALL YOURS !!
