Good Sunday Morning
I tuned in to an MT nest but was happy to read that juvie was there early morning.

Good news concerning Buddy - the miracle eaglet AND was happy for Paula's report that a juvie had been spotted at WE.

Going to check out some cams. Everyone enjoy your day!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning and thanks Steve and Mema Jo! We also had an eaglet in the nest (Baby Littley) just a little while ago!

DonnaT said...

Thanks to all of you wonderful Eaglet Momsters and Dads for the beautiful birthday wishes.

Jim

T-Bird said...

Dana-Buddy is resting up for the moment from his visitors this weekend.

movin said...

Wow, those Finnish O. chicks are really getting big, and I noticed the female is leaving them alone more now.

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

I'm reading on Saturdays comments right now Thelma. She isn't on there. I do remember her asking Sharon or Sissy about what places in their area would be good for her grandkids to visit..Remember flea market etc.

wvgal_dana said...

I see on Saturdays comments where Jamie came in again...Mr. J....
Nice to have him back...another Dadster.

paula eagleholic said...

Eaglet has been all over the nest, back and forth between 12 and 6...must be cleaning up any nestovers...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Dana, that was Jim asking about Norma and I think it was a friend of hers and the friend's grandkids coming to Bluefield.

wvgal_dana said...

Nature to your question when you come on. YES we have seen Liberty and Belle flying around at NCTC during Oct. open house.

paula eagleholic said...

TBired - RP is down...

paula eagleholic said...

2 juvies now!!

wvgal_dana said...

ALERT 2 JUVIES IN NEST

paula eagleholic said...

Man, wish I was at NCTC this morning!

wvgal_dana said...

Sharon Jim might have I'm at Natures comment on Saturday. Look for Norma maybe down your way..

wvgal_dana said...

Who's who in the nest anyone?

paula eagleholic said...

Now I do believe that is Tiny in the nest on the left...

T-Bird said...

I wish you were there too Paula so you could report and bring us back some pics. Hope you all make a good day today-I'm going to take Mattie to the store-later.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like one is resting in the nest :)

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Pearl in the nest w/ Tiny

paula eagleholic said...

Now Tiny is laying down and Pearl is hunting for nestovers

Mema Jo said...

Don't let Mattie spend all your hard earned money, T-Bird! lol I'm sure she won't ask for a thing! lol lol

Hello Donna - I was checking out cams & may have missed you. I am
very happy you are here with us! Join us often!

Mema Jo said...

Tiny's tail feathers are a dead give away!

paula eagleholic said...

Yes they are! Hard to tell when she was first in the nest in the bright sunlight...easier now. They are both rummaging around the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Tiny ssems to be lighter than Pearl, too.

wvgal_dana said...

ALERT PARENT FLY IN

paula eagleholic said...

Man, just missed the pic, adult landing on the right, now Tiny looks like she is mantling

paula eagleholic said...

Tiny looks like she is eating again!

Mema Jo said...

Did I tell you how much I miss the
LIVE FEED when it is down......????

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, really missing it this morning! Lots of action!

wvgal_dana said...

You two ladies have that right...really been active at the nest. Live feed would have been fun..glad the refresh is up.

paula eagleholic said...

Me too Dana. At least we can see them.

paula eagleholic said...

Thats a nice looking fish!

movin said...

Hey everyone, there's good news from WE.

Friday, the older one fledged on her own and returned, and then a low flying plane scared both of them off the nest, effectively fledging the second chick as well.

Yesterday, nobody saw anything of either chick, and it was never sure the parents knew where they were or were feeding them. Although a couple of ladies "thought" they heard them close to sundown.

Well, there's more evidence today that they are alive and well. They haven't returned to the nest, but this is the next best... a clip of probably the younger one "flying" on the slope behind the nest.

WE fledgling

movin said...

Wow, look at the size of them fish!!

I just took a look at our nest.

Mema Jo said...

wvgal_dana said...

They sure are staying in the nest along time this morning aren't they.

paula eagleholic said...

Yes they are...can't believe they are still here.

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - I wasn't sure if one of those "fish" was a stick or not

Mema Jo said...

Going for a late lunch

BBL

wvgal_dana said...

Wow this has become "a juvie nest day"...good ( :

floralgirl said...

Hmmm.. good question Jim- where has Norma been??

Anne-Marie said...

good morning . feeling muscles I lost in the third grade. Worked in the yard all day yesterday.cool breezes coming in from the bay and we lost our 100+ temps. Its wonderful.

paula eagleholic said...

Sounds yummy, Anne. Hot and breezy here today...

Juvies finally headed for the river! MT nest,.

Anne-Marie said...

Paula you change your photo often and I cant figure out how I got that photo of me on there. How can I change it?

floralgirl said...

Thank goodness there's a breeze her, cause it is HOT... I posted some flower pics on my blog from todays market if you want to see:)

Anne-Marie said...

Megan I got an email from Norma last night. She isnt too far.

Anne-Marie said...

megan you are a regular Liza Doolittle. The flowers are beautiful. The heat burns up everything here. My beautiful hydranga is burned to a crisp. heavy watering didnt help.

Anne-Marie said...

I fooled around with my picture. Let see if it did any good.

Anne-Marie said...

Hurray!

Anne-Marie said...

company BBL

floralgirl said...

AHa! that wasn't so hard was it?

paula eagleholic said...

YAY, Anne!

paula eagleholic said...

Your flowers are as beautiful as ever, Megan!

paula eagleholic said...

More drama at WE . They think it was Miracle that landed back home at WE, and was forced off the nest by another adult eagle...not one of the WE parents!

What a season!

Looks like rain at our nest!

floralgirl said...

Yep- thunderstorms passing thru here- looks nasty- lots of red on the radar- be kind mother nature...

paula eagleholic said...

A line of thunderstorms is headed this way!

ceil said...

I'm back. Thanks to everyone for their prayers for a safe trip. We needed them. Thanks for the concern about my illness. Hedgie loved the cartoon. I like pigeons. I know they are dirty, but they are all different. We got home Friday night and I have been trying to get things caught up. I read all the blogs that I missed. Very interesting reading. Happy belated birthday to Nilla, Magpie and Marie. Get well wishes to Dustin. Will talk later.

ceil said...

Almost forgot. When I turned the computer on yesterday morning I saw a juvie and I saw the two in the nest this afternoon. Missed everyone. Good to be back. We do have a beautiful country. Son and girlfriend treated us wonderful. Went to the Oregon zoo. Saw their 2 eagles. Beautiful. Will talk later.

floralgirl said...

Welcome back Ceil:) I think I just found my excuse for not mowing the grass when I got home- it's pouring here now...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good afternoon everyone. I am still in Bedford. Just went out to the store and thought I was going to blow away on my way back into the house. Looks like a storm is a-comin'!

paula eagleholic said...

Glad you are back safe and sound, Ceil.

floralgirl said...

There is an update on Buddy from 9 am this mornming if you haven't seen it yet...

paula eagleholic said...

Storming here now too

floralgirl said...

Holy moly!! What a down pour- we already had an inch of rain when I ran outside 15 minutes ago- the power went out briefly and the sump pump has stopped working- which is just fabulous... water is rising around the pump and flowing into the basemant- not sure why it won't work- checked all the breakers.. #@&**%^$%#$^&&^&**(*

Mema Jo said...

Raining so hard you can't see through the drops!
My oh My! I just looked at your flowers and I should have been down to market this morning!!!!! Love the buckets!

Welcome Back Ceil

hedgie said...

Good afternoon, all.
All caught up on blogs. Great update on Buddy (the bird, Thelma!). Those people at the Wildlife Center are truly dedicated!
Megan..your display is beautiful. Hope you sold out!
Hope Mattie is having fun in Bedford.Glad you didn't blow away, Sharon.
Welcome home, Ceil, hubby and M-M. Hope you are feeling much better, Ceil. Now you need to make a trip to the beach to see Helen.
Anne Marie..was Norma coming up to visit Lisa in Shepherdstown?

floralgirl said...

HI Hedgie and Jo!! Yep, had a very good day, tons of flowes and yep, I sold out:) I didn't realize that if you clicked on a pic on my blog it would go full screen..duh- then you can really see the colors.

hedgie said...

Rain was powerful here this afternoon. Just rumbling thunder--no loud cracks--but wind was high and rain was sideways. Gentle rain since about 3:30--the kind we need. And temp dropped from 87 to 76--very refreshing.
My new knowledge for the day from one of the nature shows this am: Owls are the only nocturnal bird in North America. And only Great Horned Owls hoot--which means that I have several here, because I hear multiple hoots from various directions almost every night! Like I always say...learn something new everyday!

ceil said...

Hi Paula, Jo and Megan, Megan we have a back up sump pump. Battery operated that we put in a few years ago. What a great pump. Our electricity went out while we were away. My neighbor called me. Told her don't worry. We have a stream under our house and we are in the city. We would take out the whole block. Beautiful flowers Megan. I wanted some when we were at the market but knew we were going away.

ceil said...

No rain here. Doing much better Lynn. Thanks and for the great cartoon. Think I need a vacation down the ocean hon. Hope to get there the next few weeks. Going to Cape Cod the end of August and hope to get to the open house in October.

movin said...

Take a quick peek at ZZ. They have a close-up of her lolling in the upper branches of the tree.


C(°ﮡ°)D

Jim

floralgirl said...

A million thanks for the flower compliments, you guys:) This rain is just what my garden needed, hard rain, but no wind once it started, temp is 70° right now- Yeah, I gotta go figure this out- have checked everything twice- my maintenance man isn't here- Either the pump has died, or something is still tripped.. BB

ceil said...

It has been a long time since I saw ZZ. Cute picture Jim. Thanks

ceil said...

Good luck Megan. I even keep an extra sump pump. I am so paranoid about taking my neighbors out.

hedgie said...

Be careful, Megan. Don't get electrocuted!

ceil said...

Right be careful Megan. I am off to fix supper.

hedgie said...

Any further word on Norma? Does anyone know how to reach Lisa? Romney is a little ways out to send the posse....ready Magpie?? I'll go with you!

hedgie said...

Like your new avatar, Anne Marie.

paula eagleholic said...

I'm sure Norma will show up tomorrow...she is rather busy on the weekends, and doesn't get on much!

hedgie said...

Okay, Paula. No one can accuse us of not looking out for each other!

Mema Jo said...

This rain stops then starts again
I can hear thunder up there - no lightning here though.
I have a grandson whose b-day is today - He is a juvie - you know a
teeny bopper! 13 years old! Going over in about an hour for ice cream cake!

Mema Jo said...

I've been looking at the OC cams
I don't think Helen's visitors went down on the board walk or maybe I just missed seeing them. We have about 4 or 5 cams for the boardwalk.
I was also watching & just saw our daughter, Jenny go through the inter-section of DE 54 & 20. We were on the phone with her & was able to spot them at the stop sign...
Oh What Technology
You can't escape anyone!!!

NatureNut said...

Happy Din Din time. Been working on pictures, and in early am read a lot on CHIL forum. Had heard about Limuw before & Glo made a gorgeous video around the time he passed. Then 2 ladies flew to Nevada, rented a car, found area & his feather+, had a small service & placed a memorial stone. They did not post pictures until late Feb. '08. Sad, but beautiful. I reread some of our posts in Feb., but didn't see it mentioned. But it probably was.
I really started out looking for update on WE eaglets.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good evening all my beautiful Eagle buddies. Been at the lake for the past couple of days, didn't stay (though we should have) but went back today with a couple of friends. We got soaked to the bone by a storm, TWICE. Looked like it would clear up and then happened again, storming here now. I think it followed us back from Dublin.

Anyway, how is Dustin? I haven't gone back to yesterday's blog--too lazy to be honest.

Hope all are well.

NatureNut said...

My Gosh, forgive my rambling.......
Welcome home Ceil. Glad to see you're in one piece &
Happy Birthday Donna!!!! ;>))

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Yeah, Happy Birthday Donna!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Hi Ceil!! Glad to have you back. Are you feeling better?

wvgal_dana said...

Back on Hi Ceil glad your feeling better and back...Jo sounds good ice cream cake...Megan your flowers are a "touch of painted beauty in ones life" ( : Hi everyone so I don't miss anyone..

Rained hard here and lots of thunder.

ceil said...

Hi Sissy and Loretta, Good to be back. Missed you all and the eaglets. Back to normal for awhile if that is possible. Loretta I am feeling much better. Hubby is sick now.

wvgal_dana said...

Is that a turtle shell in our nest??

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Dana where do you see a shell?

wvgal_dana said...

That whitish thing around 9 o'clock position Sissy.....also sending you an email shortly

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I can't tell what that is, could be a turtle shell I reckon.

I swear, with all this rain, it is like monsoon season around here. Saturday was absolutely beautiful, though, great sunshine. Hard to come by around here.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Is anyone looking at the pandas at the national zoo? I can't really tell what I am looking at on one of em.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Oh, it was her butt. How funny. Her tail was bobbing up and down while she was sleeping, too close up and I couldn't tell what it was.

wvgal_dana said...

On one panda napping
On two panda eating bamboo

Mema Jo said...

Buddies You are not going to believe this BUT I just witnessed a
PANDA POOP SHOOT!



Link to DC Panda


The camera person zoomed in on the tail end of our panda when he/she laid down. The tail end was hanging out over one of the rocks! And Uepper! I SAW IT ALL HAPPEN!

wvgal_dana said...

Oh that is funny Sissy didn't get to see that close up lol

Mema Jo said...

SISSY That is what we saw!

roflmbo

YEPPER

wvgal_dana said...

Well Sissy now you know the answer as to why they had the cam on the tail of the panda lol
Our great "poop shoot" catcher seen it ALL !!! lol

Mema Jo said...

It was really TOO funny Dana/Sissy.
I was thinking it was the Panda Watch (new cub) and that I was going to see that little stick of butter shoot out of there! lol

Mema Jo said...

I can only get one panda cam ....
Now I see maybe Mei in the birthing den???
Like Chrissy said this afternoon
Where is Helen when you need her?
We need our panda expert....

Mema Jo said...

I have no clue why that area is on the cam now.....

I need to pack it up and go get my
ice cream cake...

Be back in a little while......

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I reckon our Helen is still being held hostage by her weekend guests! :)

Welcome back home Ceil. We really missed you.

Hate I missed the panda poop shoot. I guess they were looking for that stick of butter and definitely got a stick of something else! :)

Welcome home, Sis-o-mine!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I have 2 different cameras of the pandas, have had them up for days, keeping just clicking on the play button and it is 2 different pandas. I think the poop shoot was was Mei and Tai is eating bamboo. I think, but I get all the names confused and twisted around, so I am certainly not one to ask.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Hey Sher!! I wish you would come home. Gonna go down there one of these times and not come back, I see it coming. Lonely ole place around here.

wvgal_dana said...

Also to get to the other camera just scroll down alittle and it says "More Giant Panda Cams" that will get you to the other cam.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Tom is gone to stay with his Mom tonight, so I have an empty house (except for 3 very beautiful dachshunds). Looks like another storm is abrewin'. Gonna watch some Law and Order. BBL.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Juvie in the nest!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Looks wet.

ceil said...

Hi Sharon, Good to be back. Pandas can do good poop shoots. They are like elephants.

ceil said...

We are not getting much rain so far and no thunder or lightening.

ceil said...

Hi Dana. Pandas are cool. Hope there will be a new one soon. Tai will still be my favorite but it would be nice to watch a new one.

Costume Lady said...

Hello everyone...
We all had a very restful night. Gene got up and gave Dustin his 2:30 meds. Both went right back to sleep. I guess it is my turn tonight. Kinda like when I used to babysit him and give him his 2 o'clock feeding. I have a 14 year old baby! LOL

Costume Lady said...

Welcome back, Ceil. We were all concerned about you. Glad you are feeling better. Are you still on antibiotics?

ceil said...

Hi Wanda, Good to hear from you. Hope Dustin is well soon. Helen told me while we were on the road that they were concerned about you guys. Antibiotics lasted only 5 days and the pharmacist said they would be in my system another 5 days. I will go back for a check up this week. Hubby is sick now. Saw a lot of RV out west.

ceil said...

Will be back later.

magpie said...

WELCOME BACK CEIL. Sorry to hear your Captain is not feeling well, but happy to hear that you are feeling better...We missed you, all right! But we got some pretty comprehensive reports of your travels. Bet it's nice to be home!!

WANDA AND GENE: Dustin has the best nurses!

Just hopping on for a bit, busy day at work.

MEGAN: Your new posy pics are a real cheerer-upper...

Time to get cleaned up...after looking at Meg's flowers, I cleaned up my sorry little flower boxes out front....most of what was in there had to come out...Wahh...time for new plantings...

xo TTFN xo

wvgal_dana said...

Magpie do you know anything about person that went to Hedgv. Fire Dept. yesterday evening hit by baseball bat???

magpie said...

DANA -
I was not working yesterday evening, but might pick up a clue at work in the morning....it might be in the newspaper in the morning, not sure....I woulda looked over the calls today from yesterday but we were hopping pretty good ourselves while I was in there, especially when the rain storm came in from the West....

ceil said...

Hi Magpie, Beautiful country we have.Going to shut down we are get the thunder and lightening now.

Mema Jo said...

Back from b-day party. Ice Cream cake was yummy. Dana, thanks for the info on the 2nd panda cam - I was always able to bring it up by clicking right under the 1st cam.

I just found a ferret cam at the zoo.
There is a baby with its mom. He is a pudgy little guy.


Link to Small Mammals Cam DC Zoo

Mema Jo said...

The ferret mom was just nursing him. Don't know where she went... Should come back into nest box soon.

Mema Jo said...

Off to watch some TV

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mema Jo, Mattie found the ferret cam today too. Cute little baby and you are right, chubby too!

magpie said...

ANNE-MARIE: Love your new avatar:
Tell us more about it...!!

Good to read everyone's doin's today.

Time soon for bed. Or reading. Or both. Or maybe it's time for some coffee ice cream.

Take Care Everyone. Prayers for peace, joy, wellness, serenity, comfort, safety and Good Rest.

PH Update

paula eagleholic said...

I won't be on the computer until much later tomorrow, have to go to a funeral.

Night, all!

movin said...

It looks as though all the uproar at the WE nest has settled down.

The two eaglets, which had been scared off the nest by the aircraft, have been "found" or returned on their own; they're being fed and protected, and they will likely develop normally into great adults like their parents.


C(°ﮡ°)D

Jim

Costume Lady said...

That's all good news, Jim. Thanks

Costume Lady said...

We are still having a slow, steady rain here, so I guess our 5 mountaineers are sitting somewhere, soaked and wet.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS

hedgie said...

Here, too, Wanda...just the kind we need. Hope all is well with Dustin tonight. Sweet dreams to all and blessings on every one. Goodnight.

GOOD NIGHT TO ALL....

magpie said...

GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDS!

Nest looks empty so far...it had a real "ghostly" appearance overnight with all the Spidey things.

Opened up Loch Lowe's just in time to see Solo fly up off the nest. Cool! That cam scans a little and just showed a view of a bird on a branch just above the nest, but I can't tell anymore if it is the Baby of the Mommy. Nice close up of a squealing Bird there right now, think it is Solo. Loch Garten all squealy too.

Parent chimney swift all mantled over the nest...that is a noisy little site.

Looks kinda dark and cloudy at the Finney sites.

Good Day Wishes to all...gotta head out for work at this end soon.
