Hey Norma...no kids around this morning....does kissing the puppy dogs count?
I got the front lawn mowed this morning, off to clean up before my sister gets here, BBS.

Good Morning Everyone!
Our nest is MT - I'll need to read earlier comments and see if anyone was around early early am today.
Wild Watch - Owls are starting to come out in the sunshine, Norma.
Osprey cam has a beautiful tail feather covering the cam...Of course it has flown off as soon as I mention it!
I do like this automated "new thread" - sure saves Steve some work. I do like his comments though.
Wake Up Mason
It's Sunday Market Time in
Shepherdstown - I smell the BACON
at Betty's
GOOD MORNING, EVERY BIRDER IN EAGLELAND.
Only 67° now, but, believe it or not, it's supposed to get up near 90 later!
C(°ﮡ°)D
Jim
Was looking over the Hawk Mountain statistics on migration so far this year.. I thought I was suppose to plan to get up there - somehow the idea didn't develop. Maybe next year.
Lisa has link on her osprey page - I think Norma told me about it sometime ago.
Oh I need some brunch - soon.
Mmmm, bacon..sounds good, think I'll go cook some!
I don't see the young Finney on the nest now.
Anybody seen her today? It's almost time to migrate now.
C(°ﮡ°)D
Jim
Bai just started a huge, fresh pile of bamboo, but I don't see ZZ yet.
C(°ﮡ°)D
Jim
Red Squirrels at Lock Garten...
One on the bird feeder; one with his head in the box that looks like a nest box... might be a seed storage box though.
C(°ﮡ°)D
Jim
Finney was there last night when I checked the nest before closing down.
That sure is an ideal "Squirrel Feeder" there on the Loch Garten site! Intentional no doubt!
Yes, I saw her last night too, Mema Jo. And she's fishing for herself now, so she could be getting dinner now.
Could also head south at anytime now too.
C(°ﮡ°)D
Jim
MORNIN' JO & MOVIN'JIM!!----I have just filled my hummers' feeders!--That's tricky for this old 'bode'! ho!---I so enjoy watching them!--
YEP JO!---I was right about JOE BIDEN!---but as much as I love politics----do you think we can get through these next mos.!!!---Take the commentators off---things would go smoother!! 6 talking at one time!!!!
JO----7 BURROWING OWLS!!!----count them!-----aren't they cute?
I think they are cuties! I checked the Asia Tail but NO little otters to be seen right now.
The flamingo web cam is off line right now. Says to check back later.
I haven't been able to find ZZ yet, Jim. The other day I went into the videos at the SD Zoo - From tiger cubs to all the others... They were really entertaining and informative.
flamingo cam was off yesterday afternoon...don't know why
I had to look back on that site to tell you that I LOVE the Baby guanaco
Reminds me of the alpacas that look like little teddy bears!
What are you up to Mits?
Are you lurking???
I was thinking that hubby may have sneaked at least one of the M&M gals to bring down for the weekend to give you some company. You're going to have to get that Car seat to make it an easy capture! lol
no, just got back on to computer....what a missed opportunity, Jo, nver thought of that....hubby is working on some things and will return home some time today...his partial vacation is over.....
Norma Are you telling me that you DON'T like Hardball or the McLaughlin Report?
Believe me - I get as far away from the TV when hubby listens to those news "all talk at once & interrupt each other" shows.
I'm with you, Jo....
That is why it is soooo nice to escape to the computer and the blog....none of politic talk here, thank God:)
Mits - I had the OC cam up and looks as though the crowd has dwindled somewhat since the weekend. Most schools will start up full force tomorrow! Summer is over for the kids.
and yet, surprising how many people have come in this weekend,,,,I'm guessing PA and NY don't start school til after Labor Day
Ceil is on her way up the coast!
I think it is one big rip off for schools not to wait until after labor day to start. There are some things I don't agree should change!
Frederick wasn't going to allow the schools to close for Fair Day last year but with so much negative response to that idea - the kids were off on Friday Fair Day!
I think it is referred to as
TRADITION
yes, she is, don't know what time they left...will be spending night in Boston, to meet up with her son and his girlfriend, then on to the Cape tomorrow.
JO!---That was the program that was doing all the yelling!!---ho!
I have watched news since I was in grade school!---About the only discussions my DAD & I ever had concerned news or politics!!---
Norma - there are some newscasters that I truly respect their unbiased reporting of the political news! They are very knowledgeable and give you a good perspective on what is happening. Others just talk to hear themselves talk! lol
Looks as though Finney is still out fishing!
I guess it is Tai who has his head inside the Honey Crate!
When all else fails ---
Look for the Pandas!
Heading out for a while
BBL early evening...
I'm going out to try to find
A Child To Kiss!
If you look at the current pics of Frieda and scroll down a little, you will find an interesting article on the release of "Victory," a recovered Peregrine, in Ohio recently.
C(°ﮡ°)D
Jim
Victory freed
I'm going to shut this operation down for a while. Have a good day.

Good Sunday PM Everyone! Stayed up real late last night (been trying to ID the small animals we got pictures of) & slept in--having lazy day & getting the body parts rested from all the walking the last three days! I'm so lonely...the child is on a plane home.
My 'puter keeps popping up red messages about Malware, Trojans, etc. Altho virus scan goes every Fri. night, must be some new invaders! Never had this happen so far.Been clicking on Neutralize, etc. buttons, rebooting. IE is trying to sell me an Antivirus 2009I think.DUH, solicited by everyone!
Saw a Meadow Fritillary in back yard & as I was investigating saw pile of downy feathers near feeder. Guess Mr. Hawk struck when no one was looking!
BBL
Loretta, the same thing just happened to me. I was trying to bring up a Car Dealership and the Anti Virus spiel came on and I could not get it to go away. Had to re-boot twice. Each time I went to the Car Dealership...same thing happened. THAT'S NOT FAIR!!
HI Nature Nut: Maybe your meadow fritillary is the one I saw last week up here!
Did you have a chance to see, that Megan saw a Giant Swallowtail in her yard! This morning, or yesterday.. Yay, maybe IT is the one I saw in my yard a few days ago!
Never know...
Hope your computer things iron out okay....I thought I had killed mine the other night, but it was just playing possum!
Happy Afternoon....
to Everyone.
Panda Nap time soon....
Back go work tonight, five midnights coming up...Sigh....after nine days off...Woof!
When I grow up, I want to be a retired person!
xo
WANDA -
I saw a nice Volvo Station Wagon for sale, in a man's yard, at the very north end of Rock Cliff Drive just before you get to Rt 9 -
You have Mail....xo
I am still having problems with this 'puter...
bummer, Wanda, I hate when that happens....
I am trying to get Margy & GeeGee's butterfly photo on my blog, but, 'puter won't let me.
MAYBE THE COMPUTERS ARE TRYING TO REST BECAUSE IT IS SUNDAY...GETTING RESTORED FOR ALL THE ACTION IN THE COMING WEEK...
Well, I have sure enjoyed play-acting as a retired person this week. Now reality hits and I am thinking, hmmm, midnight, only six and a half hours away..guess I better get some sleep before heading back to the salt mines.
Good Glorious Sunday Evening to all..Hope everyone we haven't "seen" in a few days are doing well...
xo Nighty Night...xo
Take Care, And Big Prayers...
Wanda - - - but I heard all about it! And saw all the beautiful photos of Denise at the Beach...
xo 'Night for real now...walking away, slowly, slowly......z z z z
Good night, Margy have a good rest.
I was just viewing th epictures of GeeGee's Butterfly Margie - Beautiful experience for GeeGee!
Hubby and I were visiting our two sons - dinner time now

Update on Mason's day has been published.
thanks, Jo:)
SUNDAY, AUGUST 24, 2008 05:45 PM, CDT
Hey, it's Ashley here for another weekly update! I went up to visit Mason and the Ellsworths today, and it was a busy day! Lots of relatives/family friends and a couple friends of Mason's aside from myself were there to visit him, and he was much more decorated and less hospital-smelling than in previous visits.
I really mean it when I say he looks better every time I see him; this time I was instantly met by his eyes when I walked in, and Lisa (who played guitar for him) said his toes moved when she was massaging them. He is officially dual-sideburns again, as well! His mouth is moving like it's nobody's business, and Sylvia and Brian assured me that he's had a good day, and they're still happy about the most recent CAT scan. He's looking a bit pasty, but in the 'haven't-been-outside-for-a-month' kind of way, and he's not much for tanning anyhow (ironically, 'Here Comes the Sun' was on the radio as I wrote this).
Wake up, Mason! We really miss you and want you to see how good you look now!
-Ashley
Mason has such wonderful friends...he MUST WAKE UP and enjoy those friendships, once again. He will find that he has a lot of new friends now.
Anyone know what time the closing ceremony is for the olympics today?
think it starts at 8..think there is a voleyball game on first...ye Wanda he does, maybe we can invite him to the nest next summer
beach is very quiet tonight....not many people walking or flying kites
Helen, wonderful suggestion!
we could make him an Honorary Momster:)
Helen, my Denise got home yesterday from the beach and was so very happy she was able to spend time there. She really, really wants a beach house. GOOD LUCK TO HER! I would visit her often. LOL
We could invite him into the Eagle Express and cook him all the BACON he wants.
Hey, that's a thought...maybe Betty could fry up a big batch of bacon and take it to his hospital room and the aroma may make him wake up. WOW! wouldn't that be something.
My butterfly hatched this morning...I have more detailed photos than the one that hatched for GeeGee. Have a look on "Wild and Wonderful". I have experienced this before, but it just amazes me each time it happens. Never get tired of it.
Headed in to watch the closing of the Olympics. USA won Gold in men's volleyball.......
tell her it is a buyer's market right now...Wanda....mmmmm bacon:)
Good evening. Thanks for letting us see the transformations of your caterpillars, Wanda! It's been so long since I've done that...forgot how beautiful it is!!
Long day..I HATE shopping!!!..but did well. Fashion Bug is a great place to shop for the girls...they have such good sales, styles they like, and the clothes fit their plus sizes!! But had to go to WalMart, too, for underwear...it was a madhouse, as usual!
Had to take a panda nap when I got home! Just want to hit the tub now and get to bed to get ready for tomorrow's trek to DC.
So, dear friends, blessings to all when you go to dream land. Hope you have a good shift, Margy!
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE....WAKE UP MASON
Good evening, all my wonderful eagle buds. Been missing ya'll this weekend. I had a friend at the lake with us this weekend and thought it would be rude to sit on the computer. I have been trying to catch up on the blog but am wore slam out!! (magpie!)
Would someone send me the link to Mason's journal? How is he?
I am not going to make it to catch up on much tonight.
Mason's site
Not watching the entire Olympic Ceremony - I saw what I really wanted to with the beginning performance! It was extraordinaire!
Wanda - your photos of a butterfly's beginning are so good. Nature is really beautiful!
Sissy - if your still here....
Mason's Caring Bridge
Mason's candles
Watching some of Olympic closing--had a big tower w/acrobats "bungied" to it performing! Wild. Gonna see end.
Good night to all hitting the hay....which should be me soon. Gotta work in AM. ;>))
Margy, you are an ANGEL for visiting GeeGee. Did she think you had come after the caterpillar?
Yes, she does love her family and they all love her. We are all so lucky to have each other.
Very nice pics indeed, Wanda! Thanks:) I so love watching that process. We have about 6 monarch chrysalis and 3 black swallowtails in our butterfly house- some should come out this week. Hoping this is the week Mason wakes up!! Nite all....
Good Night All...
Hope all the Early Risers will see an Eagle or two in OUR NEST - they must have taken a Week-end outing somewhere - romantic -
Wanda - It was a great visit with your Mom, so sorry I missed you and Gene too...She looked so very pretty...and I LOVE that Hummingbird cane...might have to get me one!
Love to all, I'm leaving for work soon.
Take Care, and Big Prayers.
xo xo xo
Hope your night is a peaceful one, Margy.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS FOR ALL...WAKE UP MASON.
Hi, good evening, everybody.
I see Finney's younger chick in the nest again (early morning there). I thought she had left for the winter on the Mediterranean earlier today.
C(°ﮡ°)D
Jim
If you scroll down to the last question on this page, you will read my latest and John's answer... regarding
F & F nesting date.
C(°ﮡ°)D
Jim
F & F nesting yet?
I am just getting on here tonight. My sister came down and spent quite a bit of time at the hack site. She seemed to have a good time, found the little muskrat that lives nearby and got to see Baldy, Jr. That is what I am calling the 3 year old bald eagle.
I did get Jane to let her come over when we gave Gabby her nightly med's. She doesn't like new people to come too close to the birds. I told her Pam would follow all the rules exactly and would take some pictures for us. I posted two pictures on my page for you to see. My hair is not normally so light, too much sun this summer!
I think I missed everyone tonight, and I need sleep. I won't be on tomorrow until late, have to be at an Optimist meeting at 7 AM to present our power point show. Jane does all the talking, thank goodness. I just run the show. Right after that I am back home for carpet cleaner at 9, then back to Yankton to do the PP show one more time in the afternoon.
goodnight, sorry I missed everyone!
Hi, Deb,
I guess you could be called a summer blonde ... looks good.
The Osprey looks very calm and unruffled. I don't recall what it is being medicated for though ...what's it got??
Looks like a fun, as well as an useful, thing you've been doing with the Ospreys, Deb.
C(°ﮡ°)D
Jim
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE.
Look forward to a good week.
