Costume Lady said... DIANE...sorry I didn't get to meet you. Wish you had come into the Eagle Express and had lunch with us. If I had known who you were, I would have dragged you inside to cool off and chat. Hope your hand has healed and is feeling better. I hear that this is YOUR DAY...enjoy! HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
Good Morning, Sharon and Miss Norma. I think I heard on the weather last night that Romney was suppose to get a pretty bad thunderstorm...did you, Norma?
Good morning everyone. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIANE. Sorry you could not have stayed longer at the nest gathering. Hope you can come in October. Off to work for me also.
Thanks Steve:) Helloooo everyone:) cool, rainy morning here, 68°- the birds are loving it- hummingbirds are zooming all around the yard, I can hear them zipping by my windows as I sit here. Fierce storm blew thru about 1:30 am, lost power for about 5 hours. Weather gurus say more severe thunderstorms expected later today. Have to get out in the garden and stake some sunflowers so I don't lose them in a storm, been meaning to do it for days. They are about 7' tall- Have a great day !
Thanks for the new thread Steve. Cloudy here today, supposed to rain. We missed all of the storms last night, heard a touch of thunder and that was it. All is quiet in panda and eagle land this morning (wish I was a panda).

Not only that they said there wasn't any food delivered yesterday at all and only one feeding on Monday. Thanks, Paula, for letting us know. The nest is pretty well gone from the looks of it today.
I have not been following the progress of the Delta chicks...are they old enough to survive out of the nest? I wonder how it fell out of the nest...to close to the edge or knocked out by another?
I think back to the times our Mountaineers got too close to the edge, but never went over. They have excellent balance. It's the Wild and Wonderful WV countryside air.
yes, Deb, glad it had the problems, before it came to DC, was in computer room last night had TV on in Bedroom, hear something about a Continental flight, Houston and emergency landing and almost had a heart attack, or at the very least a broken leg when I jumped up to view the TV
Good Morning My Hedgesville kids are coming up for lunch & a visit today!They are the 5, 3 & 2 yr olds of my granddaughter Melissa Jo. Should be a good play date! So - I will be lurking/reading all your comments.
We knew it had been diverted to NO, he had to take a later plane, but did not know why til I saw it on news....scared the heck out of me, and of course, there were some politicians on the flight and now they want an investigation,.
No word yet from Glo, so I will post this information again...This is last night's information, but since we have not heard anything else, I think it still applies.
Hey everyone... Vicky got a call from Glo a few minutes ago and we just found out that our Glo out there in Quad Cities area is still without power! They had 100 mile an hour winds two nights ago knocking out everything...Glo is fine and didn't lose any trees. But just being without power in this heat is bad enough.
She had to drive 15 miles to find a gas station with power to get some gas. Please keep her and all the folks out there in your prayers. I will try to find a URL to find out more. She needs to conserve the battery on her phone for now.
Here is a URL http://www.qctimes.com/ to the Quad City Times.. Hang in there Glo and Dexter!!!! Love and hugs and prayers, Iris
yes, Paula, it did, but I have 2 plane trackers I watch when he is flying and everything had looked ok, they even flew around the bad storms to the south of DC
Good morning, Momsters and Dadsters. Heavy storm here last night around 1 am, and now a really good steady rain--woohoo..won't have to water tomatoes today! Happy Birthday, Diane! Karla, love your pretty avatar! Hoping that Lolly's part of TX isn't affected by Dolly!
Happy Eagle Day Everyone---hope we see some!! & Happy Birthday Diane ;>)) I'm here at the Chelsea farmhouse office & last week we had 4 tiny Carolina wrens fledge on our back porch! It is screened in, but one of the doors is off, so they built a nest on a window sill. We opened the other door and finally all 4 went out!I got pic of one--will post some this evening.
UPdate. I live in Delta, and just called the O.W.L. office. They have found the eaglet, and are bringing him in to check the condition. I do not have any further information at this time, but was told to call back this afternoon. Again, they have found the eaglet and are taking it into O.W.L to check it over.
I found that update on the Wavelit site. So a happy ending so far, will have to see what they find when the check out the eaglet. They believe it is Dawn that fell from the nest.

Good news about Delta. I checked that site over wkend & cam seems SO close to nest you couldn't see much but 2 BIG babies. Can't see any cams on this 'puter-retarded.
Here's a little more on the Delta eaglet which fell from the broken nest. I got it in their forum.
9:23am I just spoke with Bev Day....
THEY HAVE THE EAGLET....IT IS A MALE
That was him flying behind the nest..observed at 8:55am.
Info from OWL.... He could fly, but not get any height. His is a little on the skinny side. His feathers are a little pale in color also. They will be putting him in a flight cage with other eagles.... so I assume he will not be put back into the nest.
Hi All! Busy with grandkids yesterday. Then today had fun having a root canal done. Fun and games! Also, today sat in front of the TV watching news on Dolly.
We are supposed to go to South Padre Island at the end of next week. Sure hope we get to go. Guess it depends on the damage done. My brother went to the island Monday and retrieved his boat. He will be back this weekend to check the damage to his condo.
Just got an email from my brother in the Valley. He is okay but two of his sons are without electricity and one is battling flood waters. So far the sand bags are keeping the water out of one of my nephews house in Harlingen.
Sure wish we could get some of the rain up here, but fear we are too far north.
Star is at TH, Miracle and Surprise are at WE...and the Delta eaglet is safe. O.W.L. has the Delta eagle...they think it's a male...named it Dan after a member who just passed away.
Hi, I just opened some cams, and there are an adult and eaglet at Lake Washington.
Then at BWO there's an unusual pic of both feeding, and it looks like one might be eating a snake (Osprey's supposedly eat only fish). Can't tell if it is exactly a current pic or not.
I don't know if you connected with the partial url that nature nut posted, but in case you didn't, here's a clickable link to the action on Santa Cruz.
I just received a personal (funny) email from Lolly in TX. Asked her how the weather was at her house - didn't get a reply yet. Just glad to have heard from her since I forget where she is in TX.
My thoughts are also with GLO! There are times you wish you had a generator!
I had rain rain rain here all afternoon. Looks like it could start again. Megan will be thinking that we are all doing rain dancing!! She won't need to water for a few days! It was a beautiful garden rain!
MITS was leaving the zoo around 7 pm I think she said. Both panda cams are on but I can't tell one panda from the other when they are eating or sleeping!!
Yay! aren't the 4 o'clocks beautiful!! they smell so good- I have one with lime green foliage and hot pink blooms, and then lots of other colors, they are all over my yard. Just remind me next year, I will make sure you get some plants early:) I always grow lots of 4 o'clocks.
I did- did very well at all my markets this past week. This rain is wonderful, the storm at 1 am was wicked, but then the rest of the day has been steady showers. Almost out of the rain for a while here, storms weren't too bad, looks like a lot of nastiness towards DC and Baltimore, lot of lightning strikes showing on radar.
I'm watching for Eagles, but in the meantime just saw an adorable cottontail bunny in the back yard..and then a Great Blue Heron flew over! Wildlife in the City!
Hello Everyone..
I've been watching those Delta Eagles..in the late evening when the other sites are dark... Hope things will go okay there. Thanks for the updates and other site news. xo
That storm this early afternoon came in with a vengeance, mostly very heavy rain. Several accidents down in Inwood area on the interstate, including two tractor trailers that jack-knifed. No one got hurt seriously but it was Wild and Wooly at 911 for awhile...
HELLO EVERYONE Humid at the zoo today, but time went fast, as did the pregnancy watch, even though she slept the majority of time, one of the keepers before they went home for the night said not to worry her hormone level was too high to drop that fast in my 3 hour shift...didn't want to learn how to do a mother cub watch that fast
At DELTA, If they named the Fallen Eagle "Dan" - does that leave "Dawn" AT the nest? She is picking through everything looking for something to eat it looks like...peeping some, and flapping some...must be getting hungry too.
Started storming like crazy here at 8 PM. Off & on 'til 12:30 AM they say. Electric stayed on tho, but I better get off + the kitty has the 'puter chair!!!She's the techie! BBL when she moves...
Storm here was not bad--mostly just heavy downpour and then light rain. Watches and warnings were canceled early. But it sure must have been worse to the south and east. Glad everything is okay w/ you Lolly, and hope so with your brothers' property. 911 sounded pretty busy, Margy! Glad you didn't have to work over!
Here I am again, poping on here and everyone has gone to bed...I know,that is where I should be too. Went to my Mom's today and her AC is kaput. She has a 10 year warrenty on it and it doesn't run out til September. Gene called Sears and they said they can't get to her til NEXT Friday. Something else to worry about now...90° temps and no AC. SCREEEEEEEEEM!! OK, I feel better now. Thank you for listening.
Just returned to the computer. Put my nose in a movie tonight.
Just emailed Jo. We are fine where we are. We are in north Texas, 500 miles from the storm. Texas is a big state! Do wish we could get some of the rain but it is not likely! BUMMER!
Is there news of the Delta eaglet that fell out of the net. I read where they found him and took him in, but what did they discover when they examined him?
Good Morning Eagle Buds, had some fog overnight, it's clearing now, just waiting for OUR Eaglets to make an appearance...might be a LITTLE cooler hereabouts today.
Too foggy too see "Lacrosse 3" at 4:25 AM but I did see my favorite little star cluster Pleaides in the North,NorthEast sky! Also Perseus...another favorite! THAT was worth being up that early for!
MOVIN: Regarding Delta Nest: Seems as though the Eaglet might have gotten flipped by the wind out of the nest, but he - now named "DAN" after the recent loss of someone out their way, was seen flying around the nest some, when he was located he was perched on a fence post near the nest, checked out okay, a little scrawny and feathers not all filled out, I think he is going to be placed in a nesting tower and probably not returned to the nest...Should be some things on the CAM Site you can access.. DEB and PAULA will probably post what you need today on that, they were filling us in Wednesday. "DAWN" remains in the nest, what little there is of it. She did get a parent visit and a food drop off late Wed night.
JIM: That was kind of the short version, and I'm sure the others will do a lot better with the updates through the day... xo Have a Good One Out Your Way!
Thanks to everyone for keeping us posted on GLO and LOLLY - Hope everyone else throughout the country and "across the pond" are doing well too...
COSTUME LADY: Bummer about the A/C at your Mom's -- I have a little floor fan I could take over if that would help any.....hopefully the temps will be a little cooler until the repairs get done. Cool Timing about that warranty! Blessings come in strange ways, this could have happened AFTER the warranty had expired !
Nest still empty, but that big brown bunch of stuff towards the lower right of the nest is a teaser! almost looks like an eaglet bowed down over something..
MEMA: the sailboats are out early at Ferry Boat Finney's!
Hobblets are nestled down looking plump and fuzzy...waiting for chow. All the Scottish nests are interesting these days, and the Finney's nest too, those rascals are getting LARGE !
NORMA: Want to make sure you know that last nght I had a bunny rabbit in my back yard, followed by a flyover of a Great Blue Heron, and shortly thereafter, a beautiful end-to-end Rainbow! I think it stretched from Romney down to Bluefield, with a side trip to Middletown, Shepherdstown, Baltimore and Silver Spring...Emmitsburg, Forrestville, Bedford, and all the other good places! xoxo (don't mean to leave anyone out !
I walked out and looked last night, but I couldn't see it. Wish the live feed was working, looks ike it may be a piece of fish. WOnder where the juvies are. Hope you have a nice, quiet day at work.
Good Morning!! How exciting to see some activity in the nest. I haven't seen anyone there for quite some time and I was reading the blog and got the alert. Thanks Margie!!
Good morning Eagle friends!! At Falls Mills at my m-i-l house. Time to make the donuts! Have a great day. I will be lurking around. Missed the visit to the nest but really glad to hear we had company.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE... I smelled doughnuts and thought I'd check out the blog and see who has them. I love chocolate doughnuts with chocolate icing. I haven't had one in many years. SISSY...I wonder what ever happened to the man who was in that commercial saying, "GOTTA MAKE THE DOUGHNUTS, GOTTA MAKE THE DOUGHNUTS"?
I reported last night when I got home Norma, nothing really new, still in a holding pattern, at times she exhibits signs of nesting licking, cradling, and other times nothing...looks like now since she is off cam, might be trying to do an ultrasound.....I did post info on what happens if there is a birth on blog the other night, that info is on the panda page......they will keep her OFF CAM if birth is imminent

We had a storm blow through in the middle of the night. I didn't hear a thing. Knocked my swing over! Guess I'd better get it staked down!
If you look for updates on Buddy (none yet), you can see a good picture of a "flight cage" on the right.

Did ya'll hear one of the Delta chicks fell out of the nest? Last I heard, Hancock folks were still looking for it!
Mei is resting now
Not only that they said there wasn't any food delivered yesterday at all and only one feeding on Monday. Thanks, Paula, for letting us know. The nest is pretty well gone from the looks of it today.
Good morning, everyone.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIANE:)
Thanks Jim for the S.D. Link. How wonderful it would be if our Mei at National Zoo would have twins...one would be wonderful too!
I have not been following the progress of the Delta chicks...are they old enough to survive out of the nest? I wonder how it fell out of the nest...to close to the edge or knocked out by another?
I was just checking on the eaglet chart. They are 11 weeks old this week.
Mom will find the chick and take care of it. Some of those babes just can't wait to leave the nest!
wow, that nest is a mess, no wonder it left, no room at the inn
I think back to the times our Mountaineers got too close to the edge, but never went over. They have excellent balance. It's the Wild and Wonderful WV countryside air.
From what I read it was flapping away when a big wind gust caught it and flipped it out of the nest backwards.
That Delta nest seemed small to start with.
Helen, I read about your hubby's flight and am glad it all ended safely!
yes, Deb, glad it had the problems, before it came to DC, was in computer room last night had TV on in Bedroom, hear something about a Continental flight, Houston and emergency landing and almost had a heart attack, or at the very least a broken leg when I jumped up to view the TV
Good Morning
My Hedgesville kids are coming up for lunch & a visit today!They are the 5, 3 & 2 yr olds of my granddaughter Melissa Jo. Should be a good play date!
So - I will be lurking/reading all your comments.
I can imagine, that would be so scary to hear! I read it last night and when I saw your comment, I figured it had to be the same flight.
Happy Birthday Diane!
A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU DIANE.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
yOU probably have some email today, Diane.
We knew it had been diverted to NO, he had to take a later plane, but did not know why til I saw it on news....scared the heck out of me, and of course, there were some politicians on the flight and now they want an investigation,.
Wow, Mits, glad everything OK w/ hubby. Must've scared the crap out of ya!
Good Morning Everyone!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIANE
No word yet from Glo, so I will post this information again...This is last night's information, but since we have not heard anything else, I think it still applies.
Hey everyone...
Vicky got a call from Glo a few minutes ago and we just found out
that our Glo out there in Quad Cities area is still without power!
They had 100 mile an hour winds two nights ago knocking out
everything...Glo is fine and didn't lose any trees. But just being without power in this heat is bad enough.
She had to drive 15 miles to find a gas station with power to get
some gas. Please keep her and all the folks out there in your prayers.
I will try to find a URL to find out more. She needs to conserve the battery on her phone for now.
Here is a URL http://www.qctimes.com/ to the Quad City Times..
Hang in there Glo and Dexter!!!!
Love and hugs and prayers,
Iris
yes, Paula, it did, but I have 2 plane trackers I watch when he is flying and everything had looked ok, they even flew around the bad storms to the south of DC
off to the zoo...TTUAL!
It looks like that remaining eaglet in the Delta nest will either be doing some permanent branching or fledge soon himself.
There's only part of one edge of the original nest left, and with all that wind blowing, it's not sure how long the remnants will stay in place.
The second chick does not look confident of his footing at the moment.
Good news is they probably are old enough to survive outside the nest.
C(°ï®¡°)D

Good morning, Momsters and Dadsters. Heavy storm here last night around 1 am, and now a really good steady rain--woohoo..won't have to water tomatoes today!

Hey the live feed is up!!!
Thank you NCTC :):):)
Thanks for the live feed, now we just need a visit!
Happy Eagle Day Everyone---hope we see some!! &
Happy Birthday Diane ;>))
I'm here at the Chelsea farmhouse office & last week we had 4 tiny Carolina wrens fledge on our back porch! It is screened in, but one of the doors is off, so they built a nest on a window sill. We opened the other door and finally all 4 went out!I got pic of one--will post some this evening.
Great pic of Guo Guo's twins! So cute. Thanks for link, Jim!
Paula, have you seen your third FACIAL results? Your secret is out!!

Good news, Jim! Guess eaglet was not injured. Have not seen new update on Norfolk Buddy yet today.
News at 2PM said Dolly has hit land at Brownsville, S. Padre Is., TX area w/winds from 70-110 mph. No injuries, most people left.
MY RP needed restarting...but it came right back up :):)
Here's link for new IWS post about A64 & 65 flying all over the island in CA!!!! Success

Thanks, Loretta, for updates!
Storm close...shutting down!
All stay safe.
Hi All! Busy with grandkids yesterday. Then today had fun having a root canal done. Fun and games! Also, today sat in front of the TV watching news on Dolly.
We are supposed to go to South Padre Island at the end of next week. Sure hope we get to go. Guess it depends on the damage done. My brother went to the island Monday and retrieved his boat. He will be back this weekend to check the damage to his condo.
Just got an email from my brother in the Valley. He is okay but two of his sons are without electricity and one is battling flood waters. So far the sand bags are keeping the water out of one of my nephews house in Harlingen.
Sure wish we could get some of the rain up here, but fear we are too far north.
Glad to hear your family is safe, Lolly.
My RP is down here at home..anyone else, or is it just me?
Star is at TH, Miracle and Surprise are at WE...and the Delta eaglet is safe. O.W.L. has the Delta eagle...they think it's a male...named it Dan after a member who just passed away.
Hi, I just opened some cams, and there are an adult and eaglet at Lake Washington.
Then at BWO there's an unusual pic of both feeding, and it looks like one might be eating a snake (Osprey's supposedly eat only fish).
Can't tell if it is exactly a current pic or not.

Hi Jim - Thanks for the link to IWS
BWO cam is down for a couple weeks-
not sure when that photo was taken.
I just received a personal (funny) email from Lolly in TX. Asked her how the weather was at her house - didn't get a reply yet. Just glad to have heard from her since I forget where she is in TX.
My thoughts are also with GLO!
There are times you wish you had a
generator!
I had rain rain rain here all afternoon. Looks like it could start again. Megan will be thinking that we are all doing rain dancing!! She won't need to water for a few days!
It was a beautiful garden rain!
MITS was leaving the zoo around 7 pm I think she said. Both panda cams are on but I can't tell one panda from the other when they are eating or sleeping!!
Yes.. someone has been dancing..I suspect it may be Norma:) Another line of showers passing thru- some heavy rains..
I can hear it and see it coming, Megan!!
Best I get the house cat in the house! (Got Him)
Megan - I was late planting those
Four O'Clocks but guess what I just saw-- The very first flower!!
I read back up a few comments and realize that Lolly is high & dry!
Yay! aren't the 4 o'clocks beautiful!! they smell so good- I have one with lime green foliage and hot pink blooms, and then lots of other colors, they are all over my yard. Just remind me next year, I will make sure you get some plants early:) I always grow lots of 4 o'clocks.
IWS updates for 7/23/08
Thanks - I won't forget to ask you!
I love their colors! Did you go to market yesterday?
My RP is still down.
Live cam is ok but Spidey has started the web.
Jo Got a Facial!
I did- did very well at all my markets this past week. This rain is wonderful, the storm at 1 am was wicked, but then the rest of the day has been steady showers. Almost out of the rain for a while here, storms weren't too bad, looks like a lot of nastiness towards DC and Baltimore, lot of lightning strikes showing on radar.
I'm watching for Eagles, but in the meantime just saw an adorable cottontail bunny in the back yard..and then a Great Blue Heron flew over! Wildlife in the City!
Hello Everyone..
I've been watching those Delta Eagles..in the late evening when the other sites are dark...
Hope things will go okay there.
Thanks for the updates and other site news.
xo
That storm this early afternoon came in with a vengeance, mostly very heavy rain. Several accidents down in Inwood area on the interstate, including two tractor trailers that jack-knifed. No one got hurt seriously but it was Wild and Wooly at 911 for awhile...
And right now a rainbow out back...going out to see that one...
bbl
Wow - that was nice, just enough sprinkles and just enough sun through the clouds! A beauty of a rainbow!
Buck Deer at Pix in Pa
I'm thinking that remaining eaglet at Delta is going to be kinda lonesome...he was just peeping...
HELLO EVERYONE Humid at the zoo today, but time went fast, as did the pregnancy watch, even though she slept the majority of time, one of the keepers before they went home for the night said not to worry her hormone level was too high to drop that fast in my 3 hour shift...didn't want to learn how to do a mother cub watch that fast
storming now in Bethesda
Thanks for the update Mits!
Hope you don't lose your electric!
Paula - this is going to really be a challenge for Wanda! lol
Megan - It's very hard to resist buying your flowers even if you just come to market for veggies!!!
Margy - The Delta eaglet looked lonely earlier today too.
Hi Margie - glad your day at 911 wasn't too eventful!
There is a link from the IWS crew's newest update for today a couple of comments up....
We didn't make it to 75 today and have had rain off and on all day. We are having the weirdest weather year in a long time, haven't even hit 100 yet.
Heading in to see if any decent shows on tv.
bbl
Pretty clear view of the nest - spidey's web not interfering too bad right now...too bad the nest is MT!
At DELTA, If they named the Fallen Eagle "Dan" - does that leave "Dawn" AT the nest? She is picking through everything looking for something to eat it looks like...peeping some, and flapping some...must be getting hungry too.
closing down for the night, not much of a storm, little bit of rain, thunder and lightning....GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
Good evening Eagle Buds!! Been lurking again this evening.
I hope all is okay with Glo, will say a prayer.
Wasn't that beagle bringing home a friend just the cutest thing? All my animals ever brought home was dead varmits.
We have had a few storms come through today but nothing major. Thank God!! Wouldn't mind a good strong shower to sleep by though.
Hope everyone has a good night. Got to sit with Tom's mother in the morning. Me and my little helper Mattie.
Started storming like crazy here at 8 PM. Off & on 'til 12:30 AM they say. Electric stayed on tho, but I better get off + the kitty has the 'puter chair!!!She's the techie!
BBL when she moves...
Storm here was not bad--mostly just heavy downpour and then light rain. Watches and warnings were canceled early. But it sure must have been worse to the south and east.
Glad everything is okay w/ you Lolly, and hope so with your brothers' property.
911 sounded pretty busy, Margy! Glad you didn't have to work over!
Good Night, PJ Club....
Two little ladies at West End..
Good night, Margy and all other fowl friends! Peaceful sleep for all.
Just read that Delta Dawn got a parent AND a food delivery..I guess that's a current post on their site.
YOU TOO, HEDGIE...
NICE TO KNOW YOU ARE ONLY ABOUT 10MILES AWAY....
XO
I think the West End girls have flown off now...
I'm going to roost soon.
Good Night, All, Take Care, and Prayers, for safety, wellness, comfort, joy, and Peace (and an Eaglet in OUR NEST in the morning.
xo
Thanks for the update on the Delta Dilemma. Quite an eagle season of unusual stories!
I am going to call it a day....
Peace to you and yours
Prayers for all our needs
Everyone try to stay dry....
((hugs))
Here I am again, poping on here and everyone has gone to bed...I know,that is where I should be too.
Went to my Mom's today and her AC is kaput. She has a 10 year warrenty on it and it doesn't run out til September. Gene called Sears and they said they can't get to her til NEXT Friday. Something else to worry about now...90° temps and no AC. SCREEEEEEEEEM!!
OK, I feel better now. Thank you for listening.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS
Just returned to the computer. Put my nose in a movie tonight.
Just emailed Jo. We are fine where we are. We are in north Texas, 500 miles from the storm. Texas is a big state! Do wish we could get some of the rain but it is not likely! BUMMER!
Time for bed. Nite all!
Glad to hear Delta Dawn got fed!
Gnite, all!
GOOD NIGHT, EAGLE LOVERS.
Is there news of the Delta eaglet that fell out of the net. I read where they found him and took him in, but what did they discover when they examined him?
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Good Morning Eagle Buds, had some fog overnight, it's clearing now, just waiting for OUR Eaglets to make an appearance...might be a LITTLE cooler hereabouts today.
Too foggy too see "Lacrosse 3" at 4:25 AM but I did see my favorite little star cluster Pleaides in the North,NorthEast sky! Also Perseus...another favorite! THAT was worth being up that early for!
xo
MOVIN: Regarding Delta Nest: Seems as though the Eaglet might have gotten flipped by the wind out of the nest, but he - now named "DAN" after the recent loss of someone out their way, was seen flying around the nest some, when he was located he was perched on a fence post near the nest, checked out okay, a little scrawny and feathers not all filled out, I think he is going to be placed in a nesting tower and probably not returned to the nest...Should be some things on the CAM Site you can access.. DEB and PAULA will probably post what you need today on that, they were filling us in Wednesday. "DAWN" remains in the nest, what little there is of it. She did get a parent visit and a food drop off late Wed night.
JIM: That was kind of the short version, and I'm sure the others will do a lot better with the updates through the day...
xo Have a Good One Out Your Way!
Thanks to everyone for keeping us posted on GLO and LOLLY -
Hope everyone else throughout the country and "across the pond" are doing well too...
COSTUME LADY: Bummer about the A/C at your Mom's -- I have a little floor fan I could take over if that would help any.....hopefully the temps will be a little cooler until the repairs get done. Cool Timing about that warranty! Blessings come in strange ways, this could have happened AFTER the warranty had expired !
Nest still empty, but that big brown bunch of stuff towards the lower right of the nest is a teaser! almost looks like an eaglet bowed down over something..
MEMA: the sailboats are out early at Ferry Boat Finney's!
Hobblets are nestled down looking plump and fuzzy...waiting for chow. All the Scottish nests are interesting these days, and the Finney's nest too, those rascals are getting LARGE !
XO Hope this finds everyone rested... xo
NORMA: Want to make sure you know that last nght I had a bunny rabbit in my back yard, followed by a flyover of a Great Blue Heron, and shortly thereafter, a beautiful end-to-end Rainbow! I think it stretched from Romney down to Bluefield, with a side trip to Middletown, Shepherdstown, Baltimore and Silver Spring...Emmitsburg, Forrestville, Bedford, and all the other good places! xoxo (don't mean to leave anyone out !
I think that rainbow went to California, Texas, South Dakota, and Indiana and Illinois, Alabama too, and ALL POINTS in West Virginia!
Time to get ready for work, still watching for EAGLETS !
xo Good Day to All....
Eagle Alert!
Adult !
LOUDER!
EAGLE ALERT - ADULT - OUR NEST !!
OK, I heard you!! looks like it has food.
OH YAY MEGAN!
Looks like Parent is eating an Egg !!
Man this is tough trying to get dressed and watch!
This means that rainbow was directly over Sharpsburg !
I walked out and looked last night, but I couldn't see it. Wish the live feed was working, looks ike it may be a piece of fish. WOnder where the juvies are. Hope you have a nice, quiet day at work.
Thanks, Megan -
Enjoy the posies, hope the storm did not damage anything.
Hope the nest fills up for you and everyone else!
Gotta split...don't think "I was watching the Eagle" will work as an excuse for being late !
xoxoxo Happy Day to All xoxoxo
Good Morning!!
How exciting to see some activity in the nest. I haven't seen anyone there for quite some time and I was reading the blog and got the alert. Thanks Margie!!
All gone!! So glad my timing was right. Gotta go to work also. Have a wonderful day!!

New Thread, come on over.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
I smelled doughnuts and thought I'd check out the blog and see who has them. I love chocolate doughnuts with chocolate icing. I haven't had one in many years.
SISSY...I wonder what ever happened to the man who was in that commercial saying, "GOTTA MAKE THE DOUGHNUTS, GOTTA MAKE THE DOUGHNUTS"?
I reported last night when I got home Norma, nothing really new, still in a holding pattern, at times she exhibits signs of nesting licking, cradling, and other times nothing...looks like now since she is off cam, might be trying to do an ultrasound.....I did post info on what happens if there is a birth on blog the other night, that info is on the panda page......they will keep her OFF CAM if birth is imminent
hey good morning everyone :)
