You are good to us ! Hope YOUR DAY is especially good!

Delta Dawn in the nest, and Lake Washington has a Juvie...
...so you can get an Eagle Fix until OURS show up...
Well, Juvie at Lake Washington already left...sorry about that...
You can really get a good look at the "nest" at Delta though..
Whoa - and an Eaglet at Barton Cove!
Morning, all.
Thanks for the Sunday thread, Steve
Eaglet already gone at BC - really looks like a field growing on the nest edges, LOL
Barton Cove is empty again,
one osprey lurking at Cape Henlopen DE
CHOW TIME IN CONNECTICUT OSPREY NEST
PAUlA - Good Morning...
That is a pretty nest site at Barton Cove isn't it? I love to see the water in the background too..
PAULA: Your Avatar is So Pretty!
BWO is down but they sure left a nice shot of both ospreys on the platform with chow!
CT had four birds at first, now just two...make that three again, that is such a cool cam site!
Short Food Fight at CT Osprey, someone just stole the fish!
Eaglet back at Barton Cove !
Magpie - my avatar is a pic of Megan's flowers! That's why it is soooo pretty!
I recognize the flowers PAULA!
Birds in and out of these nests from minute to minute..
Looks like Delta Dawn got some chow..
That's about all the feather watching I can do for a bit...time to get the OTHER parts of the day started.
HOLLER LOUD IF OUR EAGLES SHOW UP!
xo
LOL - I keep missing that quick Juvie at BC!!
I love the CT osprey cam!
Jo - did you have any bad thunderstorms last night? I heard there was hail and terrible winds in Frederick.
JO - DUH - nevermind! I remember now you said it was pouring...guess I need more coffee!
Weather is calling for more thunderstorms this afternoon.
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!----WANDA--MAGPIE--& PAULA!!---Have been on the phone all am!!!---It is so humid -- it's sticky!!----LOVE YOUR FLOWERS TOO PAULA!!
Delta Dawn is definitely working on a meal!
JO: Remember, Sunday is Sailboat day at Ferryboat Finney's.
Hope the storms are painless...
Went back and finished up this morning's comments. Glad to hear Sissy saw the eagles at Dollywood...how cool!
We are expecting thunder showers here today!----I have had so many--many birds today!!---I think that's a sign of rain or snow!!!--ho!---(snow in winter---did not say snow today)!!!!!---
Speaking of Dollywood, I meant to post this link yesterday...Check out the pic...they have wing blings!
Dollywood eaglets released
HI NORMA....
WON'T BE TOO LONG BEFORE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SNOW AGAIN...
CHRISTMAS IS LESS THAN FIVE MONTHS AWAY NOW!
BUT THEN WE GET TO START WATCHING NESTORATIONS AT OUR NEST....
HAVE A GREAT DAY - EVERYONE!
GONNA CHECK THAT SITE PAULA JUST POSTED...
XO TTFN XO
And check out this wonderful news!!!
Sandi posted this on NBG this morning
Received from WCV at 6:55 am
Norfolk Botanical Garden Eagle Update
8:00 p.m. July 26, 2008
This report was filed by Dr. Natalie Hall:
This evening the eagle is still stable, and he is eating on his own without assistance now – for the first time since he was admitted! We are still giving him a "chop" plate, but he ate eagerly this morning without having to be hand-fed. He is also very energetic today and has been strolling around his enclosure a lot. So, at this time, he appears to be improving!
That's Wonderful News about Buddy...those folks down there must be encouraged, finally!
Thanks for posting it, PAULA.
Good Morning, everyone. I am all caught up and was thrilled to read about Buddy. What wonderful news!!
DEB: Good Morning! What time did you have to get up this morning to get "all caught up?" It takes awhile doesn't it? But it sure is fun!
Back to what I am supposed to be doing....
xo
Wish I had seen that food delivery to Delta Dawn! I guess I was cam-hopping when it happened....
I got up at 8, but didn't get on here until about 9:30. A lazy Sunday morning here.
Good Late Morning Good to wake up and see those beautiful flowers. Had I not gone back to sleep at 7am - I would have been to market and home! I guess it is the thought that counts.
GO BUDDY GO I think being in an outside environment with other eagles around will help him!
It rained here around 6pm but it could have rained later throughout the night - it was only for a half hour or so.
I need to read previous thread -
Thanks Steve for the new thread.
Now all we need are some eagles in our nest
I think I may have missed all the sailboats - it is sorta late in the day at Finny on the water.
I was on earlier!!---posted a couple---then it STOPPED!!---I have had to go on & off twice!!---MAGPIE---did you use your power to get me booted off!!-----ho!---
Will see if this is printed---
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE...
68°, cloudy this morn, but it will climb to a very sunny 82° at its best today.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Good Sunday Morning Everyone!!!
Beautiful Megan flowers, Paula. I was going to guess they might be hers!
Thx for the GREAT Buddy news. I was hoping they would post something on how he handled his Fri. PM meal, & this is even better!!!
MORNIN' DEB & MEMA JO!----Thanks for the update on BUDDY!!---poor thing----he has been through so much!!---Nice to have GOOD NEWS for a change!!!
MORNIN' NATURENUT & MOVIN'JIM!!!---
HEY MAGPIE!!---we could use a few snow flakes today!!-------KIDDIN'
HEY DEB!----You missed seeing your cousin TOM!!---He comes on earlier!!---ho!
The 'LITTLE PRINCE'----is so cool this am----He was lying back eating his bamboo----Then he reaches over & pulls a bamboo 'tree' over---it takes two hands to hold it!!!---He is probably missing SISSY!!!
JO!---I only see 2 burrowing owls out sunning this am---
It must be a lazy Sunday morning, Norma, I don't get who cousin Tom is.
DANA----I only see 5 or 6 DONKEYS today!!!---They must have had an early breakfast----
I've been on the phone... Family communications are necessary - love it when they call me!
I see those owls!
I also checked out the flamingos - they have their tail ends towards us!
I did see the 2 youngun's yesterday standing right there with the adults.
They are getting large
BROKAW!!!
Newscaster, Deb
At first I thought Norma was looking at turkeys in PA woods You know Tom's & hen's lol
Ok, now I get it. I forget he is hosting the talk show now. I usually watch Sunday Morning show and then turn off the TV, but I didn't even turn it on today.
Norma - Naturenut found your comment about HATCHING on June 22 thread.
It was when you were giving us news about the BIRTH of the 2 red pandas at another zoo and that their dad was from the DC Zoo!
NO MORE TALK ABOUT PANDAS HATCHING
lol Wanda remembered more then what she remembered she did.
LOL, I was thinking of Tom Turkey also! Forgot Brokaw was from SD!!
That's where I went to Jo. I couldn't figure out how a turkey was my cousin!!
Well a noon time storm is brewing.
Thunder all around...came up quickly.
Good afternoon!! Sounds like everyone's day is off to a good start. Good Buddy and Delta Dan news. Wish we could see our eagles!!
Good grief, Jo...more rain for you? We never got a drop last night from any of the other storms..guess they didn't get this far, but we got slammed the other night.
We have relatives near Gatlinburg & good friend wants to move there after his Govt. retirement. I sent all of them the Dollywood Eagle story.
The sky has opened and the rain is pouring down!
I never knew Tom Brokaw came from the Dakotas, but I do remember him as a shiny-faced youngster doing the weather or something on KNBC-TV, Channel 4, in L.A.
...Maybe he did sports too, and then he worked his way up, until somebody at the network gave him a call.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
I was on the turkey trail too, DEB...
Rain but no wind nor lightning I hope JO.
xo
Hedgie - are you getting any rain.
Our nest doesn't look as though it is getting wet.
OOPS! My still cam shows
July 27 which it is BUT
the timer has 9:05:42am
We don't have any wind... just the down pour. Thanks for that info about WV weather, Magpie.
I have a 3:00 event in Hagerstown so
rain should be finished by the time I want to leave..... MAYBE even the Hum-I-Dity with have gone away!
I like Brokaw...remember how tough it was for him to report the Challenger disaster, he was pretty close to some or those astronauts, one of the gals in particular.
That was tough for everyone!
ISS is due to return to the skies LATER IN THE WEEK, angle might be kinda low, but the "view" is described as being 'VERY BRIGHT."
"Lacrosse 3" is some kind of unmanned "spy" satellite, and "Early Ammonia Server" is a discarded 1400 lb piece of junk tossed overboard off ISS when they did some renovations!
I think Delta Dawn really wants to get out of that nest!
I spotted my typo Lynn after publishing! lol Other forums have an EDIT you can use after publishing to fix those little typos or remarks.
Wish we did!
Storm is coming up RT 15 at you, Paula.... lol Maybe good excuse for no mowing today!
Ooooooops! JO - That was MY WISHES for YOUR WEATHER: Rain but no wind nor lightning I hope..FOR YOU.....
sorry, I am not much of a meteorologist....Things look a little unstable here, but nothing going on yet.
xo
I need some light lunch!
BBL
Maybe OUR NEST is on Pacific Standard Time ! Mine shows 9:05:42...
wish it WAS that early..
MOVIN'JIM---DEB & I talked about that a couple of times!!---TOM BROKAW went to college in her home town & he also married Miss SOUTH DAKOTA too!----DEB said he donated money for some kind of a nature trail there too!!---Now You can watch for that little nugget to appear on a quiz show!!----ho!
Lake Washington has a visitor...maybe it will stay there a bit...
Must run to pharmacy to get a WASH POST before the rain comes!---later!
Tom Brokaw is from Yankton, SD, which is where I go to see the eagles. He went to college here in Vermillion, which is my town now. I consider Sioux Falls to be my "hometown", I left there though in 1992. I was born in Colorado Springs, CO, and have lived in Oklahoma and Nebraska, too.
Eaglets in LW and BC.
No, Jo, no rain yet, but mostly cloudy, and very humid. Storms to north and south...we may get hit, but for now, nothing!
Well the sun is shinning brightly again as though it never left!
Was watching Ilsa's nest in Scotland
the cameraman was having fun by zooming in on a small bird who was investigating every inch of the nest.
Finally you can see the osprey chicks as they have grown...
LINK WildWatch Osprey Nest Cam
So we have three eaglets we can watch right this minute, LW, BC and Delta...
I am so amazed that the egg at Loch Lowe's is still there....must be some kinda hard shell! Loch Garten having some problems, note on site said "Nethy might have chewed the connector." Not sure if they were kidding or not!
I should have checked first..Loch Garten IS back up and two birds on the nest right now ..sorry about that...
Better get back to my housework..
MEMA AND NORMA: I think that is an upside down turtle shell in Bartons Cove, up near "10 o'clock."
Jo - no rain here yet!
I see the pic is stuck now as well! Guess we are getting used to the MT nest...Waaaah!!!
Where is Mits today??
MITS is still up with the M&M's.
No way would I think of going up into the BC nest - that tree is ready to topple! I'll get Sharon Feeney (ME Forum) to look under the tree! There also has to be some shells under our tree. We found skeletons of turtles but not shells.... Too ticky to look very well.
Going to get ready to travel....
Be back around dinner time......
Magpie - we found an egg in an osprey nest last year when we went banding...still whole...
Yes, Paula, I wonder about it all..
that last egg at Barton Cove stayed around for awhile, and I wonder of the 3rd egg is still in the nest at WildWatch Osrpey..
and I surely remember what happened to eggs #3 and 4 and NBG -
before Little Buddy came along !
I shoulda gone to be an Ornithologist !
LISA has left about 4 sites on her site to see OSPREYS----2 NY--1 DE--1 NOVA SCOTIA------
JO---I bet there is at least 1 shell under our nest!!!!
lunch---
I got the backyard mowed, it isn't that hot out, but the humidity is high. I am cooling down before I do the front.
Missing Dana and Candy this weekend; of course, Vicki and Chrissy, Anne Marie, Dave and Red, too! We know where the Bluefield girls are, but hope everyone else is okay!!
Barton Cove has a new cam view ... at least for now, maybe to try to show where the eaglet is going...
HEDGIE - I think Sunday must be traveling and visiting day, might do the same here myself...I hear the water balloons calling my name!
Loch Garten Chick all big and up close now..WELL HE WAS NOW HE HAS LEFT....they left the sound out when they re-did the cameras, miss that peeping!
DEB: I know it is hard work and this will sound strange: I wish I had a back and front yard to mow! It would mean I am not in an apartment in the city! (well, town..)
Be Careful, Stay Cool...
xoxo
I don't mind mowing at all. I like being outside. What I don't like is when it is so humid, the sweat gets in your eyes. It stings!! I don't think I would like an apartment either.
Off to the front.
lol... careful what you wish for Magpie- my lawn needs mowing right now...come on over..
The storms missed us today, last night's was awful, lots of wind. don't see a lot of storms around us now, hopefully no more thunderstorms form.
Hope everyone is having a great Sunday- I'm off to mow the grass..
Yes, "10-4" that as we say at 9-1-1...BUT - I had yards to mow, it would mean I had gardens to tend to also! Flowers to pick, vegetables to eat, Bird feeders to hang, stars to REALLY gaze upon...but I am grateful that I am in a safe little place for now....
Good Afternoon and Evenings all..
xoxoxoxo Love you Guys.....
The eaglet has a large fresh fish on the nest at Lake Washington.
I wonder if it caught it itself.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Now both adults are in the nest, so maybe I misidentified one of those as an eaglet???
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
I thought one was an eaglet, too, Jim. The eaglet ate earlier today, so I guess it is parents turn to eat.
I think the cam at BC got blown or knocked off kilter. Right now there is a big rain storm going on. I hope the tree didn't start to fall the rest of the way down.
If you haven't checked out the Nova Scotia Osprey cam that Lisa posted, make sure you do. It is a good view and has one chick and one unhatched egg. The chick is pretty big already. I'll bring the link over.
Nova Scotia osprey
All three eagles are at LW now.
Our cam is still stuck on 9:05. I was hoping someone would notice and reset it, but not yet.
Thank you EVERYONE for you comments, videos, links and pictures. I have finally gotten caught up to today.
I just opened the Novia Scotia in WMP. Mom as brought in a stick for chick. LOL I don't think that has made the chick very "happy" not "food" lol
Sounds like Sharon had a great time at DC Zoo with her favorite pandas.
No I don't go eat crab legs that often. Like to make that an every now again thing.
Off and on here when I can be. Usually work hard to catch up on comments though.
Buddy sure sounds good GO BUDDY GO..Praise God for HIS healing HANDS to the creators HE made.
Sissy couldn't hardly breath due to her over whelming excitement at Dollywood. (that would be me too ( :)
Beautiful deer video. Loved it! ( :
Jim skunks they can stay to themselves and me away from the lol.
Mits with her M & M Gals ( : happy days
Jewells (Genies) husband in prayers has been.
Oh Good, one eaglet still at Lake Washington...
been watching that one and BC most of the day, thought maybe some tech had added another cam view but it doesn't look so technical so I think you are right, DEB, maybe the tree is failing..
Thanks for shortening up the Novia Scotia site for us..another favorite. Imagine, new chicks so late in the year!
Hi DANA - there was a lot of fun stuff over the week-end wasn't there ?
H E Y !!!
OUR nest view is now reset and showing current picture.
GOOD E.S.P. DEB !
And you were #100 too!
Sunday is YOUR DAY !!
Well, that LW eaglet just marched right up over and off the nest !
MOVIN: ARE YOU GONNA CLIMB THE WEST END NEST AND RE-POSITION THAT CAMERA FOR US? Miss Those Girls!
...THAT IS A NICE PEACEFUL BLUE SCREEN THOUGH...STRESS-REDUCER..
XO
WHO-EVER RESET NCTC: Thank You !
BC - Looks like the tree is still up....it's a view of fields and a treeline...
And thanks for the heads up on our nest....and thank to whomever got it working again!
Hey, Dana, glad you are fine!
Hello all in eagleland. I have been trying to catch up on the blogs, but you people talk to much. :) I had a busy week last week, getting things ready for school; shopping for things for the classroom at the Teachers Store TAPS, grocery shopping, gathering things together to send off to my sister for her birthday on the 29 of July, and many other things. Never did get on the computer much.
Checked my email today and finally got that down. Did I see on here where Mai might be a new mother and that Sharon was at the National Zoo and other sightseeing around DC?
Just checked in on the Frodo cam and it was last year during July and August that things started to happen there. So we should see some action there shortly.
Paula with her kabobs had my mouth watering along with the different ways to stuff a pepper.
Howdy Candy and Dana!
Hey, Candy. How's life at the beach?! You have been busy. When does school start?
Good evening everyone. Back from watching Maggie & Molly. Great time. They were so glad to see Helen. When we left she headed for the ocean. I should have hitched a ride. Loretta glad you found the mystery. I started looking on June 16th blog and worked backwards. Did not think it was that soon? Yeah. Mystery solved. Wanda you did good. Great memory. Have things to do will BBL
LOOK OUT SHARK AT WE SHARK
SHARK IN THE WATER EVERYONE GET OUT OF THE WATER........
just kidding awwwwww tis peaceful
Ok Ok I know I'm bad I just couldn't help it .... I just had to do it lol....can't say the devil made me do it.....
I hear the eaglets at WE maybe got some food.
In and out chat later
LYNN I think I have about three weeks left of my summer vacation. The kids come back to school about a week before Labor Day. I am not sure this year, as I didn't check before I left in June haven't received a letter with the info from my school yet. This summer went too fast for mee, I can tell you that.
Hey PAULA AND DANA! Glad to see you on.DANA, you wouldn't want to scream that down here at the Outer Banks or you would see a mob ruling. :) Believe it or not, I have only been to the ocean once over the summer and that was in the early evening when it was nice and peaceful; most everyone must have been out to dinner. :)
Glad you had a nice visit w/ the M&M's, Ceil. So Helen is headed back to the life of Riley, huh? You should have gone with her. How's Mary Margaret? Say Hi to her, please!
I guess no one is showing for dinner at our nest tonight. Rats!
The West End nest is still a beautiful blue, and Mai is flat out resting.
Nova Scotia Osprey juvie looks like he is settlig in for the night.
LOL Dana...there were some dolphins at WE tho....
HELLO have not caught up on today's posts yet.....got to get something to eat....got back to the beach around 5.....wonderful time with the M&M girls and my sisters', but was hard keeping my eyes open on the way down, had to stop and get a big coffee....bbl after I catch up on posts....
and eat.......pepper steak last night was delis!!!!
Hey Helen, glad to hear you and your sisters had a good time with the M and M girls! When do you expect to ever get back for good from the your beach retreat, hummmmm? I'd love to be right on the water like you are.
Here's a good one, especially for Sharon: Travel Channel's Samantha Brown was doing a piece in China (airs tomorrow). She says "I had a scary moment as I got into a pen with some pandas. The handler warned me to keep moving. They're adorable-looking, but pandas are bears, after all."
Lynn, something I have wondered about...are panda's dangerous?
They look so docile and unconcerned about what's going on around them.
Wanda, I imagine that like any wild animal, they could be dangerous if they felt threatened or were in pain.
Off to tub time before Army Wives comes on at 10. BBL.
YES MOST DEFINITELY, PANDAS ARE VERY DANGEROUS, THEY ARE WILD ANIMALS, EVEN THOUGH THEY LOOK GENTLE
Welcome back Mits! I knew you'd have the answer for the panda question.
I don't know why but I have everything out of my linen closet and sorting it by To Keep or Not To Keep. Taking some sets to beach house or just give to kids.
So many sets without washcloths! I think I am going to just buy a lot of white ones and forget about color matching! lol
Oh I was watching some TV while sorting through them.
Mits - be sure to look at Wanda's facials - You're a goner! lol
good evening ya'll. I am in Pigeon Forge and we have been talking about the eagle that man has, the one that laid it's head over on him, does anyone know the link to that?
Saw all the eagles at Dollywood and it made me so sad.
just talked to sharon a little while ago.......she is one tired puppy, BTW, Jon's recital went very well....
have to go check it out....CANDY, I am at the beach mostly from May to October......oh my aching back....going to take a shower some Advil and watch Food Networks show they are picking their next food star tonight....GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
Never mind ladies, talked to Sharon. She knows everything, better memory. See ya'll this week!! I been missing you!!
Alert!!! Animal Planet channel is talking and showing the attack on the chicks in Limews old nest in the Channe Islands.
It is in a commercial now, but will come back to show them getting to the nest and saving the eaglets
Very interesting. Dr. Peter Sharp was talking in a few shots. It said that they were found about 40 or 50 feet away from the nest. Both are doing fine and are living in an enclosed cage nest. Which we know. Two ladies that also watched it happening were also on the show. It was a good piece. My husband came in and told me to go into the livingroom to watch and I figured it was the nest of the Channe Ilsands; Limuw's old nest. It was.
And with that, I am out of here for tonight. All have a peaceful and restful night. Tomorrow brings a new day with new beginnings.
Too bad I didn't come and read the blog before the Animal Planet show was over. I am going to see what they say at the IWS site.
FYI - Animal Planet had a piece on tonight about the Pelican Harbor nest being attacked. Harpo and Robin were shown on the show...
Here's the link for Animal planet...
The show is called 'Untamed and Uncut'. The episode is "Shorty the Bull's Revenge"
Untamed and Uncut show listings
It will be on several more times this week.
Thanks, Paula, for the information.
Hi, just glancing through the comments before saying "good night."
Magpie, if I could remount and re-aim the WE camera, I would do it cheerfully. But I doubt they will permit it to be fixed this season. It's too close to the time when the "girls" will leave permanently, and fixing the equipment now would disrupt the eagles' process too much.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Slipping in to say
Good Night
Peace to you & yours
Prayers for all our needs being said
((HUGS))
Thanks for heads up on the rescue on AP--set the TIVO to record it at 12MN!!
Another weekend coming to a close...hoping that all whose work week starts tomorrow has a good one.
Good night. Peace to all.
Thanks for the link to Nova Scotia, Deb.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
HEY MOVIN: I know you would if you could...(fix the cam at WE Nest)- I understand completely!! We've had a good time watching them for so long, and appreciate all your updates on ALL THINGS WEST !!
Take Care, Now.
Good Night, to those already signed off and those yet to do so...
Take Care, and Prayers.
xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo
Candy, apparently, the Animal Channel Show on the PH nest is a little behind.
Both of those eaglets have fledged from the hacking tower by now.
Wish I could see the program...I used to watch that channel all the time from when it began...but I haven't even got my TV hooked up at present. Long story, mostly economics of the cable system, but I haven't had it hooked up since I transferred to this apartment nearly 3 years ago.
On the Internet a lot of the time anyway, so I don't really miss it too much most of the time.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS
I was checking on the Channel Islands site for answers to questions about Buddy's future, which a lady and I had asked earlier.
Dr. Sharpe answered both questions, and he is much more positive than many of the opinions I've read about Buddy's prospects for a release into the wild when he's medically able.
Here's the link to the "Questions" section of their blog.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Dr. Sharpe's comments
Thanks, Candy. More good, positive news.
Let's hope the guy makes it to a wild, successful, breeding adult eagle after all.
Incidentally, practically everyone, including me, has been referring to "Buddy" as "he," but somebody at the Center where he is seems very positive that Buddy is a female, although they haven't done the blood test for the purpose of sex determination yet.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Oops. It looks like Candy deleted her comment.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
GOOD NIGHT TO ALL IN EAGLE LAND...
Enjoy a great week coming up.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Good morning (Monday at that-smiles!) to all. I see the cam is still out. I know the "powers that be" are aware of it and we will get it back right when we are suppose to.
The eagles and juvies sure haven't been around much-they will leave soon, right?
