Good morning magpie!! Thank God someone is alive out there this morning. Felt like I was in the Twilight Zone.
Good morning everybody! Mits, did you get up at 6? I got up at 8:15. Really wish I had gotten up earlier but oh well. No squirrel news to report through the night!
Regarding Finney's Nest - Did we not have three chicks there at one time? Did I miss something? I know one was a late-hatch.
Blogger Cop is awake....
New to the posting. I have been keeping track, especially when the live feed is down. I've also kept track of a solitary owlet this spring.
yes, Sharon I did....:(

Good Friday Morning Sissy, Margy, Mits, Norma, Megan and hello new person Jamie ( :
Going to be a warm one today again.
Need to read comments and check mail. Will do that later....
Good Friday Morning Paula ( : and thanks for the info on live feed.
A pace of donkeys huh Norma .. hee hee
Did anyone know that Sissy wants to be a panda when she grows up? If so why didn't one of you all tell me that lol
Boy it's hard to know things on this blog.....siclmbo=sitting in chair laughing my butt off
Finney's nest news is that the chicks were ringed on July 10 -
chicks there hatched June 9, June 10 and June 13th - so I guess there are still three....I think the baby just hunkers down in the nest more.
So I guess I answered my own question.
I think I am headed down Wanda's way to see if I can find her...
thanks, Margy...
JAMIE: What solitary owlet have you been watching?
Welcome, Jamie:)
Mits it seems your going to have your hands full for a while...
I haven't received any phone calls back from Wanda since I left the message yesterday evening.
Norma I just counted 9 donkeys..Does that make a pace?
Okay - I am on my way...check back in later. I have Mema Jo's phone numbers with me...
If she hops on here before I get back, tell her ready or not here I come.
Prayers for all of us, and Safe Day to All.
xoxo
Ok Margy safe travels...hope you find them all well...
Good morning again:) If you want to see part of this mornings harvest from my garden, click on my pic, then click on whatever..
Good Morning! Did I ever tell you all that I love the Live Feed!
Thanks Margie! I didn't get any email response from Wanda or Karla. I have to remember that Karla has dial up!
I don't have any work planned for today or tomorrow. In fact I've done my Tour of Work! lol
OH MEGAN! Such beauty to behold!
TGIF Everyone!!!! Hello to all and Welcome Jamie!! This is a great group!
I saved a couple Finney nest pics to send Suz last night & also thought I could only see 2 juvies.One must be hunkered down.
Gotta get to "banker's hours" job today, but OFF on Sat. YEAH!!!Try to check in at work later & see about Wanda.
Good Friday Morning Jo and NatureN ( :
Oh my Megan your flowers for today and everyday are just BEAUTIFUL I want them all lol
Jo the greatgrand babies were both over yesterday. Oh such a joy to spend time with them. ( : They are 2 months apart both boy's. 5month and 7 months... They both have the same middle name. Although born to different parents both was both on a Friday. neat huh? I love the belly laughs and the jabbering. I just jabber right back to them. Get the biggest SMILES you could ever imiagne.
MEAGAN, THAT JUST TAKES MY BREATH AWAY......SOOOOOO PRETTY, THANKS!
Magpie just called
No news yet - other then Margie talked with the next door neighbor who said he/she hadn't seen them & that if the RV was gone then they were. Margie going back to Wanda's house to knock on the door & leave a note. I told her to peek in the windows!! She'll call back shortly.
Oh Lord, I hope everything is okay with Wanda.
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE...
Looking forward to a happy weekend.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Was the RV there?
Dana - great grandbabies are great. Three of mine will be coming over Tues of next week! Just awhile ago
with the web cam I saw the 2 over in Germany... Cristine puts Elizabeth up to the web cam not especially for me to see but for Elizabeth to learn to know her Mema Lennox!
That is what Magpie is going back to check out. She was really at the neighbors just talking with him/her.
Margie has only been to Wanda's Mom's I think on the 4th.
KEEP THE FAITH!
Gene probably swept Wanda up & drove off into the sunset!
I hope that is what he did...
lol...maybe she had one of those amazing facials and they couldn't control themselves...
that would do it, Megan:)
BEIJING -- Patrons at some restaurants in Beijing won't be able to order any canine cuisine during next month's Olympics.
Dog meat has been struck from the menus of officially designated Olympic restaurants, and Beijing tourism officials are telling other outlets to discourage consumers from ordering dishes made from dogs, the official Xinhua News Agency reported Friday.
Waiters and waitresses should "patiently" suggest other options to diners who order dog, it said, quoting city tourism bureau Vice Director Xiong Yumei.
Dog, known in Chinese as "xiangrou," or "fragrant meat," is eaten by some Chinese for its purported health-giving qualities.
Beijing isn't the first Olympic host to slap a ban on the dish. South Korea banned dog meat during the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
THANK GOODNESS THEY TOOK FIDO OFF THE MENU
I know you won't believe me---BUT----I just got off the phone!!!---And I have errands to run---now I am tired!!!---ho!-----
Magpie called
Has checked out the house - No RV -
House closed up - everything looks good - outside light on. Said all the beans were picked! Magpie is
going over to visit with Wanda's mom and will call again - in about an hour.
If MAGPIE is peeking into windows------she may end up down at the station ---(as they say on tv)--ho!
Ok, that's a good thing. They have just ran off for a few days. Good for them. OMG, I could not imagine eating a dog. That would be like cannibalism to me.
EW!!!! who the h would eat dog anyway?? gross...
Good thing they don't eat pandas....
HEY HELEN!!---An old saying...."IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED IT---DON'T KNOCK IT--- ho!
They are worth too much money alive..
well I'll be darn, they snuck out of town without telling us.....
Maybe they were afraid we would try to tag along...
never thought of that, Megan.....Norma, I hear dog taste like chicken;)
roflmbo.....can you see us now, running after them
My dog says he is offended by that last comment... and will never visit China.
My dogs say the same thing. I hate cats!! The cat that adopted us is wreaking havoc on my wildlife. Just saw it right on the tail of a chipmunk that was moving really slow. ARGH!
MEI LEN at the ATLANTA ZOO is inside the play room!---ADORABLE!!---Can't decide if she will eat bamboo---take a nap in the hammock or sleep on the floor!!----ho!---will probably sleep on the top log of the hammock!!
wonder if they like cat in Bejing. I can send em one.
Maybe Wanda and Gene left the RV at her Mom's. Glad Margy is going there to check.
Eat dog WHAT!!!!
I understood that rattle snake taste like chicken!!----
Norma, all I can see is the bamboo rustling. We have some growing under our deck, Tom says we need a panda. I told him I don't NEED one, I want to BE one. :)
Magpie called
Over at Wanda's mothers and appears to be no one home. Magpie is headed home now and will be on the blog shortly.
everything tastes like chicken, except chicken.....off to finish potato salad and deviled eggs....hubby is here and at the beach relaxing....so glad, he works so darn hard:) I'll check back later to see if Margy has found Gene and Wanda
they kidnapped the Mom too?
1 & 1/2 burrowing owls at KENT!!
Morning, gang!
Welcome, Jamie!
Reading thru' blogs:
Where are you all seeing donkeys??
Glad Margy is checking on Wanda...at least she can't miss the RV, unless they keep it in a windowless barn like 2 of my neighbors do! Update: well, don't know what to think now...can't imagine that they would take off without telling us! We're family.....
Would be nice if the Chinese and other Asian nations would ban it from the menu all together forever!
Hey, Sissy...would you like to be a panda when you grow up?? LOL!
Beautiful pics, Megan, as always!
I agree with your opinion of cats, Sissy! Primarily because they are so independent, stuck-up and sneaky!
UPDATE ON MY CELL PHONE CALL TO WANDA
Cpt Gene & Wanda are ok - BUT grandson, Dustin - Karla's son, has been diagnosed with Rheumatic Fever.
They are down at the hospital in Charlottesville VA. They are so thankful they took the RV - they can stay as long as they are needed. Denise - daughter - is coming down to be with Karla today. Wanda took my number and said she would call with any news.
Karla had just gotten her laptop up & running.
PRAYERS ARE NEEDED FOR DUSTIN &
HIS FAMILY
Thanks for live feed, Steve & John...of course, no one home now, but maybe they will know it's time to show off for the momsters/dadsters!
I really felt as though something had happened because most of us post on here when we are going on a little trip! Prayers for Dustin and family for sure!
Oh wow, that's serious. Thanks for finding out for us. So sorry to hear this news, will be thinking positive thoughts for them..
Mits, think you need to reel Jubby in to help you with the prep work!! What was the grocery store like so early in the morning? Did you have it all to yourself?
Many prayers with Wanda, Gene, and family!!
How old is Dustin?
MEMA JO: You're an Angel to make this important contact with the Captain and First Mate. U-VA in Charlottesville is top notch for children's ailments
Treatment will most likely include:
bed rest, severe restriction of normal activity, and medication treatment, may include Penicillins and maybe Steroids.
Google will have lots about it. It's serious, usually involves the heart and respiratory, symptoms can include heart palpitations, joint pain, abdominal pain, etc. Is treatable, but depending on severity of ailment, the illness may last 3 - 4 weeks, to 2 -3 months. University of Virginia Charlottesville, is top notch, he is in a good place, and they will take care of the family too.
Dustin is 14. Tall, lanky, active. He was a "firecracker" on July 4th.
God Bless Them, and Prayers on the Wings for our special friends.
Thanks Jo but don't like hearing that about Dustin. Prayers going up for him, Karla, Wanda, Gene, Mom and rest of family.
I know our nurse folks can describe it better than I...I have a Mosby's Medical Dictionary which has an extensive entry on Rheumatic Fever.
I suspect they started out at Winchester Medical Center, and they are NOT AT ALL HESITANT about sending cases to Charlottesville, often will Medevac them...
XO
Magpie, UVA is where they sent me with the liver abscess 1 1/2 years ago. That is also where I will have my hernia surgery.
I haven't read all the comments but Buddy
07/10/08:
A new update from the Wildlife Center of Virginia. Apparently the lesion on the beak of the Norfolk Eagle Cam eaglet has fallen off without the need of surgery. Now the experts are trying to decide what to do about the eaglet's crooked beak.
Magpie - thanks for all that info.
And especially THANK YOU for all the footwork trying to help us find them.
You're a true feathered friend!
((hugs))
Okay Sharon, I hope it all went well with you and you can confirm my good reports of U-VA.
I just sent Paula an email.
Not sure if she will get that or see our Blogs first.
MEMA: WILL YOU BE DOING A MOMSTERS EMAIL? I haven't checked Yahoo yet since I got home. I'll do that next.
xo
Absolutely, Magpie, they literally saved my life!
Link to The WildLife Ctr of VA on
Buddy's report
Magpie
I will send out a request for prayers and positive thoughts through the Momster's email.
Wanda's mother is home - Wanda said she was ok.
You're Welcome, Jo. It was my Eagle Mission....thanks for being my phone person....I had it scribbled on my cheat sheet from the Nest Visit, with the "real names" and monikers...
xo
Back later, going to check on elderly next door lady for a few.
xo
Jo, thanks for info. Poor Dustin. RF is so rare these days. Surely praying for him and the family. They must be beside themselves with worry.
Yes, Margy, thanks for doing the legwork, and Jo for the phone work and postings! Margy, was Dustin ill at all on the 4th? C/o sore throat or anything? RF usually results froma bad--often untreated--strep infection. UVA is top-notch so feel he is in very good hands.
It is rare in this day & age...
When I was about Dustin's age or a few years younger I had Rheumatic Fever. Heart murmur - Bed rest was the cure that many years ago. Can't really remember any medication.. I just remember getting to stay in my parent's bedroom because I could see move from their windows! lol
Hi Ladies!
Thank you all sooooooooooooo much for your concern and prayers. Margie for running all over berkley county and Jo for the call. Dustin is in great spirits. LOVING the beautiful nurses and doctors down here. He is not in any pain. They are not sure on the R-fever or Lyme disease. Testing is taking forever. But his heart has inflamation and valve leakage which is more a symptom of R-fever. We are praying for Lyme disease as R-fever will be with him forever with monthly injections of penicillan for life to prevent reoccurance that can damage his heart further. Family and friends are awesome right now and we are thankful for you all. Mother (Costume Lady) will log on soon. Thank you so much for your concern and prayers!!!!
Karla Thank you for keeping us updated. Lots of prayers are coming your way!
Dustin had a high fever about 2 weeks ago but was sent home from the Dr with "take motrin and see how he is in a few days". He did not have a sore throat but Strep is not always associated with that. But - he has not had any ticks on him either. The rash started as circles on his wrist and then has moved to and big oblong mark on his back and then everywhere. It does not itch or hurt. They have treated him for both Lyme and R-fever since we got here by Eagle Express on Wednesday. The massive doses of antibiotics are helping the rash and suprisely not hurting his tummy. He is doing fine - the grown ups are going crazy!!
Wow - sorry to hear about Dustin.
The treatment nowadays is different, didn't know about monthly shots...
Will keep Dustin in my thoughts...
I sure would like to see one of our eagles today. Got some major Panda snoozing happening.
Karla - Do you think Dustin will be there for any length of time that we should be sending some cards? I am so thankful the Eagle Express was there for you! I know you know that you have a GREAT mom and dad!!
((hugs to all))
Yes, Karla, wonderful to get your reports. Let us know, if anything needs to be taken care of in Berkeley County, such as picking up mail, checking on Gee-Gee, and so on. Maybe us Berkeley Countians can team tag on those things if needed.
Love and Prayers, and Hugs all Around.
SOUNDS AS THOUGH DUSTIN'S EYES ARE FINE!
xo
So glad to hear they started treatment right away....that's a good hospital.
Thank you Karla for the update. Sounds like Dustin is in good hands.
Praying for all of you and Dustin.
Eagle HUGS come you alls way...
Going to Post Office and some other stops......

North Carolina Osprey has a large fish in nest. I also just noticed that I think in the nest is also an unhatched egg.
Incoming osprey an adult at North Carolina...beautiful wings spread as flew in....chick moved away from fish.
SHARON: You will be pleased, or maybe not so pleased, to know that when I stopped by at Wanda's - I saw a rather active little squirrel in one of her trees.
I had a nice talk with the next door neighbor who endured all the problems from the storm two weeks ago!
Out to visit a sick lady friend for a little while. Take Care, all.
xoxo
Oh Boy now a chick flew in wants some food busy nest here. ( :
DANA - Those Ospreys are awesome aren't they? The bird reminds me of ROYALTY !
They are really neat in this nest Margy...beautiful surroundings.
I can't till whether the chick that was there when parent flew in has flew off or on the other side being fed with this chick that flew in. You cam see the fish getting smaller.
At Loch of Lowes no Osprey in nest but you can surely hear them.
The nest is nice and shady...perfect for a little eaglet nap!
Awww I like your bunny Paula ( :
It looks like a painting in the background of the North Carolina Osprey nest. awesome
I dropped by to see Kidd and Lola boy they need a "bigger nest" lol
Thanks, Dana. That's an NCTC bunny!
Well thats why it is so "pret-ty" ( : ( :
Karla,
Thankful that UVA is on top of everything. Of course, Lyme can be a lifelong thing too if not caught early, so glad they are treating "as if." Prayers for you all!
parent eagle in our nest
EAGLE ALERT OUR NEST JUVIE NOW PARENT GONE
Anybody out there.....????
Who do you think is in our nest?????
JUVIE ALERT OUR NEST
Our Juvie is eating brings head up looks around head back down to enjoy pulling on its food...don't know what could be turtle not sure. Have to see in shell in nest afterwards.
Eaglet in the nest, eating!!
Dana - it's a fish!
I rewound, and saw Lib bring it in!
Thanks Paula cause I dont see a turtle shell...Who do you think it is in the nest?
I believe that's Tiny in the nest! Got a good look at the tail feathers.
Ok then that makes two of us...I kept watching and watching and that was my feeling but I needed someone else's opinion ty. ( :
Osprey chick in North Carolina has it's own nice "big fish" in its talcons.....
Ok laying down now in the nest after a long time of standing and looking out of nest. More comfy this way.
Returned from Post Office -Too hot to do anymore running around so I came on home
Beautiful Juvie in the shaded nest
Dana - wanted to ask you.
Open House - you want me to reserve you a scooter! Thelma (FWS) said they had them & I sure am thinking about using one!
Anne has a bad knee & if she doesn't get it fixed before and healed, she may want on.
I need to find out how many they have.... probably not enough! So you can ride on the back of mine but I get to drive.......... lol
Even as hot as it is outside - I need my 3:00 half a cup of coffee!
Loch of Lowes has a parent in nest and just now the chick flew in....awesome and neat.....lots of noise.....lol
Aww time for an eaglet nap! :)
No thank you Jo doing ok since knee replacement...ty anyhow ( :
I got action going on everywhere: Loch of Lowes parent and chick beautiful fly ins. Boy Mom and chick are noisey. lol
North Carolina chick eating fish.
Our nest Tiny in there resting...
Things are quit now at Loch of Lowes lol chick is eating..as soon as I said that parent started hee hee
Parent just flew into North Carolina with another fish...chick isn't finished the other one yet. Parent eating some..parent is FEEDING the chick..
Reserve one for yourself JO....you'll be the Momster Express lol
In the grocery store and WalMart before surgery I had to use them.
The other chick just flew into nest at North Carolina while chick and parent are still there...2 chicks and parent now.
Tiny just woke from his nap and parent just flew in plus another Juvie.....Juvie fight lots of mantling parent left them to knock it out over the fish.
ALERT PARENT CAME INTO NEST AND ANOTHER OF OUR JUVIES THEN PARENT LEFT OUR NEST OUR NEST
Well Tiny didn't get it I don't think.
great to come home from work and see parent and juvies
Hi Thelma ( : ( : nice seeing you
Thelma live feed is working 2 juvies in our nest.
i can't tell who's who but i sure would like to see a parent again-glad live feed is up thanks
I really will if I can, Dana!!
Great Title you gave to it!!
Looks like Tiny got the second food drop as well!
The one on the right is Tiny...Paula and I figured that our earlier. He was in the nest alone after eating and took a nap.
Then parent flew in with food and right behind (almost on top of parent) was the other Juvie. Maybe Pearl not sure. Tiny keeps trying to steal some food. hee hee
Hello T-Bird
Glad your work day is over......
I am putting my head down for
1 hr before dinner.
Glad the nest is getting some
activity!
BBL
Thanks Jo-me too. How has your day been? How have my blog buddies faired on this 7-11
2nd eaglet looks like middy
Dana - Tiny got the food!
Paula are you sure did you rewind and check I thought Pearl or Middy whoever is in the nest with Tiny got it. Flew in right ontop of parent almost.
Aww, no scraps for second Juvie - Tiny really being a piggie!
See Paula I need help ID'ing them !!
Yes I rewound it and watched Dana. Parent cam in at 12, juvie came from 9ish, almost landed on Tiny
Thanks for help and keeping it straight....I would have messed that one up for sure...well I did din't I yep...
Tiny still in the nest...too full to fly...LOL probably needs another nap.
Hey Paula lol I was just thinking. I need the "slow motion version" lol
glad you ladies got that straight-hope there will be enough food for all
Male at Loch of Lowes just brought fish into female...wonder if chick will come flying in now. Mom is eating.
If Tiny would leave, there would be plenty! Usually the juvie that is in the nest makes out better than the one following the parent in!
Now Paula I got that one right. There wasn't alot of squabbling over food. Less action lol
Yep Osprey chick just flew into nest at Loch of Lowes and Mom is feeding it.
parent and juvie
Another Parent and Juvie! Tiny didn't get it this time!
oh i want to see the parent hang out more
you think i could be a little whiny
Daggone, lost the video, hope it comes back up!
Ok in our nest came parent and another Juvie. While we still had a juvie in the nest. I know food was brought in.
I leave it up to someone that could tell better. Who got what....
is the other one getting to eat now?
Just went thru Blog and tracked down the Wanda mystery. Thx Jo & Magpie for detective work!
My thoughts and prayers for Dustin's speedy recovery & to Karla, Wanda, Gene & all the family. Glad he got to a good place so soon. With all the rashes, it sure seems like Lymes. That can effect most body systems,
but antibiotics will take care of it. Best Wishes all, Loretta
Another fish drop at Loch of Lowes by male. Funny chick got its talcon on fish and was trying to pull it away from Dad. Didn't work...Mom has fish and is feeding chick again.
Is it just me or is RP down?
Paula mine is still going
Wow- well I don't want to hope Dustin has Lyme disease, but it sounds like that is the lesser of the illnesses. Hoping everything works out for them, he's young and that is definitely an advantage. Nice to see those juvies in the nest. Back out- cu later
My RP is still running too.
See big juvie still in nest on refresh cam.
Nice to see you dropping in again Megan ( :
Thelma parent doesn't want to hang around in our nest. With all that fighting over food lol
My Live Cam is down :-(
My live feed won't come up. Poop.
Well thanks- Dana:) ran in to get a drink and check on the dog- daughter went to a sleepover and he is pouting.... looks like one juvie left. later-
