Hi all. Death of Paul Newman is top news today. Too bad.
The very first time I came to Martinsburg back in '70 there was a marquee sign on the downtown hotel that said WELCOME PAUL NEWMAN...I said to my afianced "yeah, right, don't they wish!" He then informed me that Paul came to race at Summit Point. LOL!!! City girl was put in her place!

hedgie said...

Going to movies this afternoon (rare event for me!) w/ my youngest to see "Nights in Rodanthe". Read the book--have read all of his books! They say the movie is a 'must have tissues' film. Wonder if Candy is going to see it? Rodanthe not too far from her.

hedgie said...

Raining here again. We need it, but it is getting kind of depressing!

MITS said...

Candy has 1 week to go for her son's wedding, think we will hear from her after next Saturday....

MITS said...

showing wall in Atlanta

ceil said...

What's with the wall at Atlanta?

MITS said...

if they are any thing like the keepers at NZ, the don't like being put on the cam, maybe they are checking him AGAIN!

MITS said...

JO, the otters are out:)

MITS said...

its the six-pack:)

hedgie said...

Did Candy ever say where the wedding was going to be? If the girl is local or not?

MITS said...

can't remeber if she said Lynn, girl just graduated from college last May. can't remember from where, think it was somewhere in NC

MITS said...

otters are turning over the rocks, bet there are some hidden surprises there:)

MITS said...

Glad you saw two. When I looked back it was one on the other side and the fish had moved.

MITS said...

yeah, big momma left the fish for the little guy

wvgal_dana said...

Ceil and Mits do you all see the Eagle at Maine?

deb said...

I see it, Dana! Thanks for the notice!

hedgie said...

Don't think I have the link to that cam, Dana.
Gotta finish getting ready to go out. Talk to you fine fowl friends this evening. TaTa.

deb said...

I think it is stuck, eagle isn't moving!

deb said...

I reloaded it and now it is moving!!

deb said...

It is so pretty, sitting there preening feathers.

deb said...

Maine Cam

wvgal_dana said...

Isn't he pretty Deb?

wvgal_dana said...

Deb

Just before 8:07am there was a fly by per Sherri

Eagle landed 12:00 per CLC's GF

deb said...

Very pretty, Dana. My sisters both called so I have been MIA for a bit.

deb said...

I don't understand why I can't load video when I am in Safari, have to go to Firefox to load them. I will try again.

wvgal_dana said...

gone poof

deb said...

I put a short clip of the maine eagle preening on my page, good for an eagle fix! Thanks to Dana for letting me know it was there!

deb said...

Eagles at the nest!
Well, I'm sure that some of you have observed the recent activity at the nest. Notable early this morning. Often during this time of year there is an increased activity near raptor nests. This is thought to be triggered by the particular photo period (day length) -- similar to that in the spring -- which is known to stimulate singing in songbirds during the fall and protection of nest sites and nest activity by raptors in the fall. Hopefully this pair will keep up the good work and reinforce their nest structure to endure winter storms.

deb said...

Time to get moving around here today. Allergies are not being nice to me, but I need to get moving anyway. I have the Susan G Komen Walk tomorrow, so can't lounge around today. TTUL

Mema Jo said...

DEB started to read your comment and went straight to OUR NEST thinking that was where the eagle was! lol Fooled me!

ceil said...

Deb I have done the Susan Komen walk for about 10 years but it is the same weekend as the Open House. Our aunt (mom's sister) was 36 when she died of breast cancer in 1957. Doctor said cure was just around the corner. Thank God they have made good advancements.

ceil said...

Off to Molly's party and it is raining cats and dogs.

Mema Jo said...

Have a fun time Ceil!
Give the b-day gal & her sister big hugs & kisses for me.

Just talked on the web cam with
Iraq - Sgt Patrick is find...
Told him to expect some Halloween
treats! lol

Mema Jo said...

Sun is shinning in our valley
Probably we will get the rain just at Mass time.. Sounds like Ceil is going to send it up the road!

Mema Jo said...

Off to do battle with the return of

STINK BUGS

ceil said...

Will do Jo. Helen said it was sunny and humid in Bethesda. She turned the air back on.

deb said...

Sorry for the Confusion, Jo. That is an update from the Maine Eagle Cam page.

Ceil, this is the first South Dakota race. South Dakota is a brand new chapter of Susan G. Komen. I did the 60 mile walk once in CA with my sister, niece and some friends. It was an incredible experience, in spite of the blisters! Tomorrow is just a 5K walk.

NatureNut said...

Evening Everyone in Eagle/PandaLand!
First chance I've had to get online today.
Hubby called me at work to tell me about Paul Newman. I had not heard he was ill.Wonderful couple-he and Joann.
Hope despite the rain everyone had good day--B'day parties for little ones,etc. Sorry Margy got slammed for 12 hours at work! Oh well, she can show us the money!!!
Saw Baby Luney little while ago---really growing & getting cuter!
Good to hear last night about improvements to Paula's Mom & GeeGee eating her crab legs!!!!
BBL to check Finland ;>)

hedgie said...

Good evening.
Larry King doing tribute to Paul Newman.
Movie was good...think I am always a bit disappointed w/ films that I see after reading the book. Early dinner was good. For you local gals...if you like Mexican...the new place Las Trancas by the mall (where El Ranchero used to be, which never impressed me) is very good. Nice decor and atmosphere and food was yummy. I had a crab, shrimp and cheese quesadilla.
Flash flood warnings up in some locations. Raining really hard here, and have heard thunder a few times. If out on the roads, be careful! Margy may have a busy night! I-81 was shut down for a wreck a little while ago.
Thanks for Maine link, Deb!

Mema Jo said...

Going to say good night to any and all who see this.

Peace to you & yours
Restful sleep & pleasant dreams
Prayers for everyone's needs

Finney over water is beautiful this am. Have never seen their water that shade of blue. Looks like wake of a boat rippling the surface. No nest visitor, tho'.

hedgie said...

normabyrd said...

CHECK BWO!!----LISA---"For those who have been watching our Eagle Cam feed on WILDCAM.COM, please note that the cam feed has been temporarily replaced with shots from a DVD showing highlights of the 200i Eagle Cam season"----

(that answers a lot of questions)

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' LOVELY DANA!!----checked DONKEYS!!!----THREE!!!---hard to believe!---ho!!

hedgie said...

Hi, Dana. Dreary morning, huh?
Oh well, it is what it is. At least I don't have to go out.
Norma is once again enjoying Finney over water...hip hip hooray!!
Guess I'd better finish cleaning up kitchen and reading paper.
Wish we would hear from Loretta...I strongly suspect that the medevac crash was in "her" park.

normabyrd said...

HEDGIE---didn't receive mail---

normabyrd said...

DANA---did you notice---LISA was fooling us!!---It's a DVD!

normabyrd said...

HEDGIE---Did RECEIVE mail---ho!

wvgal_dana said...

Oh Lynn sure hope is wasn't in that park...Did you hear about it on the news?

Norma you had me for awhile about BWO..Cause I have been watching eagles there. lol Fish still laying there...

Margy is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's

hedgie said...

Yes, Dana, it was on the news. MD State Police medevac...pilot, EMT and paramedic killed along w/ female teenage patient; another female teenage patient in critical condition. They had been in a wreck. Crash was sometime after 1am, but it took 2 hrs. for the site to be found because of the fog and rain.
The park is, I think, Walker Regional Park in Forestville, near Andrews AF Base... a 400+ acre park...do you recall Loretta ever mentioning the name?

wvgal_dana said...

I found an article on it...what you told me above it better and sad information. I don't remember her saying. She certainly could have. Maybe someone else will remember Loretta saying.

movin said...

movin said...

There apparently is now a two pound + butterball residing in the Panda enclosure at Atlanta, GA!

That butterball can sure squiggle too.

Jim

hedgie said...

Lun looks like she is grinning..must be pleasant panda nap dreams!
Thanks for update on Deshar and Nethy, Jim....starting to be a worry, isn't it? Had to get out my map and look for the Azores...couldn't remember where they were!

NatureNut said...

Morning (or Afternoon) Everyone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RED!!

Hubby was just out to grocery and heard about the Medivac crash.The Walker Mill Regional Park is just a couple miles north of us--I guess it would be in Forestville, District Heights address.

Mema Jo said...

Good Afternoon all of you stay at homers! I am right here with you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EAGLE BUDDY RED
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

Mema Jo said...

Hotmail.com has changed drastically the format of their program - especially how the emails are addressed! I am about to change over to Google!

Mema Jo said...

WOW! Take a look at the water at the Finny nest. Rough!

NatureNut said...

Radio report my hubby heard was that because of the fog, the helicopter was looking for a place to land and then it crashed. So don't know if they chose that spot to land or not.Front part of park that you can see from Walker Mill Rd. IS a huge open ballfield. Right up that road are houses on both sides for miles.

Park I work at is Patuxent River Park in Upper Marlboro, MD. 2000 acres--LARGE open field there was the first Afro-Am. owned airport in pre-WW II days. It is about 12 miles from where I live.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN'! JO & NATURENUT!!---I didn't realize you were a paramedic----NATURENUT!---That is quite a job-----proud of you!!

normabyrd said...

Little BOY CUB is squirming like crazy---sometimes---when he sticks his head up---he looks like a white snake with 2 big eyes!!---LUN LUN --scratches & sleeps!!---ho!

normabyrd said...

JO!---2 BURROWING OWLS at the SW SITE----I haven't seen them there for a while!!!!

NatureNut said...

Norma????? I'm not a paramedic!!

wvgal_dana said...

Crow is having a good time in Maine nest.

deb said...

Good afternoon, everyone. I am back from the Inaugural South Dakota Race for the Cure. There were 2028 walkers this morning. Not bad for the first one for the Susan G Komen organization.

normabyrd said...

NATURENUT!----I misunderstood!---(do that often) ho!----Why would they think you might have been the plane then?

NatureNut said...

Thx, Jim for reminding us of Nethy, Deshar travels. They also have a link for 2 juvie white-tailed sea eagles that were hatched on a Scottish island called Mull.
Does everybody have warm, but gloomy weather? I saw the sun once & now they saw we might get PM thunderstorm. I think we've had enough rain now, Rain Gods!
Got lotta stuff I should be doing---getting ready for stepGrandaughter's wedding in Nov. Will have out-of-towners staying w/us, I'm sure & there is a shower in Oct.
Also, HELEN, Back to Bethesda is Sat., Oct. 4 I think. If we go, we'll take hot yellow w/black stripe Buick Skylark. Caar show is at Chevy dealer, but the streets are lined w/food items to buy from all the restaurants!!! YUMMMMM!

normabyrd said...

CONGRATS! DEB!----Proud of you!!--I have walked with our group in our county a few times---Very rewarding!

NatureNut said...

Norma, think they thought the chopper may have crashed in "my Park". (where I work)

NatureNut said...

Deb, Good for you! They have ours usually in June. Some people run, but when I go, I do the walk.(knees have been crummy since teen years--probably from gymnastics!)They start down by the Wash. Monument.

normabyrd said...

Thanks! NATURE NUT!!----heard about it on news this am---then on the blog!! a dangerous job!!-----

Mema Jo said...

Had my Germany Gals Call... Just love it.
Deb - hot tub is great for walkers!
I know how great a feeling you can get from participating..

deb said...

Nothing exciting to walk by here. When I did the 3 Day Walk, we got to walk along the ocean for a lot of the way, nice scenery, especially when the dolphins were out!

deb said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RED!! I hope you have a wonderful day and the birds in your yard sing loud for you today.

normabyrd said...
