I think that without the prospect of seeing our Royal Pair, we have all delayed getting on here. That's MY story and I'm sticking to it!

ceil said...

I am a good one. I say good morning then walk away to get dressed to go to Mass this morning. Hope cam gets fixed but just nice to see an eagle. Sissy twin pandas born in Japan. One was really active and loud.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Is there a site to see the pandas in Japan?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Them bears are rasslin' again.

Good morning everyone. Glad everyone survived the weekend.

Good Monday Morning
Our Sea Eagle was waiting for me!

it's great when an eagle is sitting there waiting to say Hello!

Mema Jo said...

I guess I should type

FINNY OVER THE WATER

EAGLE ALERT!

Red said...

Jo, What is the web address for the sea eagles?

Mema Jo said...

I'm sorry Red to be so long answering you. I was over reading some emails.

Link to Finny over the water

Mema Jo said...

On the Eaglet Momsters Site an album with the Sea Eagles' pics has been started. It's on the last page of albums down on or near the bottom row. Some really good ones.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY IN EAGLE COUNTRY.

i SEE Belle has flown the nest this morning. Looks dark where you are today.

The littlest Panda cub has more than doubled in weight and seems to be doing very well now.

You all have a beautiful week.

movin said...

No overcast this morning ... been a while ... and it's supposedly heading for the upper 80's in So Cal.

Sun is going down on the Finnish sites. Does anyone know for sure what that body of water is with all the islands? Fresh or salt?

There's been a T. Vulture on the BWO nest for at least a half hour.
Young one.

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

Red said...

Looks like a buzzard at BWO.

floralgirl said...

Yep, that is a TV-turkey vulture at BWO.

hedgie said...

Hi eagle gang!
So great to have the cam up.
Loretta...congrats on 7yrs!!! Wonder if I'll see that event?? For now, three+5 mo. is great! Still w/ apptmts. every 3 mos., and scans every 6.
Had the annual mammo today--unrelated; my CA was lung.
Paula, prayers continue for your mom, and, of course you, too.
Great article in Hagerstown paper, too, about last nights' big jam session for Mason.
Been working on eBay sales, plus supervising sil's brother who is here whittling down my honey-do list, since my Mr. Bill is so busy and still w/ a lot of knee pain.
Getting alot of the little things accomplished...they do add up!!

Mema Jo said...


Hearld Mail News Article on Mason


This might work but it also might NOT work. I need to register for the newspaper....

Google Hearld Mail Hagerstown MD

Thanks for the heads up Lynn. Sounds like a good night of music for a good cause.

My comment around 11:00 am has the link for Mason's Update & my suggestion to read the Guest Book.

Mema Jo said...

The link does work.

JIM Thank you so much for video on ZZ. I love these panda
cubs! I sent the link to Suzanne and really hope she can open it to see her little Squiggles!

Mema Jo said...

Read back & see Paula and Megan were here!
Paula - take care!
Megan - hope you are feeling better!

Loretta and Lynn - you two are on my constant prayer list! God Bless!

Mema Jo said...

Off to fix some dinner!
Picnic leftovers for tonight!

BBL

Red said...

I think I mentioned Friday that some tree trimmers were here cutting down pine trees that my neighbor planted under the power lines. They caused me a power failure today for 1 and 1/2 hours. I was expecting it though. I'm sure glad the temp was in the 70's today instead of the recent 90's.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And EEEWWWIIIEEEESSSS are necessary uglies in our life!

Mema Jo said...

HO HO! Sharon - they left before I got to see them.

Red - you were lucky as to the weather being a good day to lose power IF there is ever such a day!

hedgie said...

Thanks, Jo...know that your prayers help!!
Red, I ditto Jo's comment....beautiful 70's day here, too have two really hot and muggy ones...Indian summer, as we all are used to here!

Red said...

I'm out of here for now. Might be back later. If not. Goodnight everyone.

EAGLE OUR NEST

ceil said...

EAGLE ALERT

ceil said...

Two eagles our nest.

ceil said...

All gone eagles.

Lolly said...

Well, how about that! Tonight I saw the eagles. Thought I did the other day and came to find out the cam was rotating old pictures. Tonight I saw both at the nest. Wahooo!

Hi All! I am feeling good! The weather is sooooo beautiful! Worked in the yard all day. Went out at 5:30, had cleaned up and was ready for as glass of wine and it was 73. Now that is living!

Our train ticket arrived today. We are set!

Lolly said...

Hi Ceil! I saw the eagles!

ceil said...

Lolly glad you saw them also. Looking forward to meeting you and Jack at the open house.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Daggummit! I missed the eagles!

Lolly said...

We are looking forward to meeting everyone as well. It will be so great to put a face with a name. Though, I am horrible with names and it will be hard.

Lolly said...

Going to go eat dinner. Eating on the patio before the Cowboy game starts. BBL

Costume Lady said...

Oh, Sharon, I did too! I have been checking in off and on for an hour and went to make some tea...came back and missed the whole thing! :(

Costume Lady said...

Lolly, my dear, we will have name tags on...not to worry!

ceil said...

Wanda, I just happened to look in and there was one and then another. I get so excited I forget to take a picture. They are coming earlier because it is getting darker.

Costume Lady said...

Ceil, I do the same thing. Get so excited, I forget to snap a photo. I do that a lot on vacation. I get so excited or mesmerized with something that by the time I think to take a photo...we have passed it by.

ceil said...

I am going to watch some TV and probably fall asleep. Have a good evening. Prayers for Paula's mom. How is Mattie? Light a candle for Mason.

Costume Lady said...

The darkness is coming earlier. I looked outside when the eagles had just left, and it is pitch black. If it wasn't for their "EagleEyes" they would run into a tree. LOL

Costume Lady said...

Nothing much on TV tonight. Think I will read.

ceil said...

Sounds light me I am so clumsy. Have a good one Wanda.

Mema Jo said...

To quote a buddy: Daggummit! I missed the eagles!

I even had the nest up & running as I ate then went in to watch the news and MISSED THEM THERE BIRDIES!

Enjoy your reading, Wanda.

Hi Ceil & Lollie.....

Mema Jo said...

At least 7 if not some more burrowing owls out of their burrow
on the Wild Watch Cam

hedgie said...

Yes, Lolly, we'd probably all be in trouble if we didn't have name tags!! But after just one day together, and with a group pic to look back at, I've found it easy to remember who's who, and can "see" each one in my mind! Getting Sissy (Bev) and Sharon mixed up is my worst faux pas!
Speaking of whic...how is Mattie??? Is that affliction the same as "jungle rot"? Not familiar with the mongolian term!
Hope she is doing better...but none of those "cures" mentioned yesterday would help, in my opinion...can you tell I don't care for many greens? LOL!

Lolly said...

Yea! Thanks Wanda, I am all for name tags! Had a delightful dinner on the patio, with a good bottle of wine. Jack is now plopped in front of the TV watching the Cowboys.

Lolly said...

Jo...just responded to your email concerning the dinner. I am so excited!

Mema Jo said...

Just sent out an email to those of you that have said you are headed to WV NCTC Open House

Give it some thought & get back to me ASAP
We only have a month to plan this
shindig! WHOO HOO.........

Mema Jo said...

YOU ARE ONE FAST TEXAN GAL !!!!

Lolly said...

You better believe it!!! I am so excited about meeting all of you!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I didn't get an email. Am I being excluded? :)

NatureNut said...

Hi there.
Had Panda nap after dinner! Just saw a show about scientist trying to find a Harpy Eagle in the rain forest. Saw a tiny snow white chick in nest way up in tree and ended up building a shelter and staying there for 6 mos. to get pic of it's first flight!! Amazing! They have a few feather "ruffles" on their heads.
Just checked Email--sent Jo a reply.

floralgirl said...

WHat?? no eagle eye--I'll sneak you in the side door, Sharon...

Lolly said...

Hey Megan.... I will help you sneak Sharon in. Jo will never realize what is up1

floralgirl said...

Have you seen this today from Mason's site? An update for the update. A shot of Shepherdstown love is what we 've got going here. Mason had somes firsts today. Mason got back from OT this after noon and George, O Therapist (who really is awsome by the way) said Mason held his head up longer than ever, and maybe ever, he followed 1 out of 4 commands and he said Mason's left hand was real busy doing some crazy things. Sylvia asked if maybe it looked like he was playing air guitar or air bassoon. Hopefully he's waking up a little bit at a time.

NatureNut said...

Just caught up on Comments. Thx Jo for prayers. I AM FINE. Actually been 8 yrs. exactly since BR CA surgery. I shook new Dr. up today w/blood work. White count is elevated, but that's due to one of my daily meds. One of the oncs. a couple years ago sent out extensive blood tests & they found nothing wrong.
I've ALWAYS felt good except when gallbladder went (2003)--that was the only "normal" problem I had.Tons of other surgeries where for strange things found mostly by blood work for the original surgery. Lost 2 parathyroids & had large cyst in neck removed which turned out to be "mildly" malignant salivary gland. Those 3 were probably caused by radiation treatments for tonsils that I had at age 4. My little German Grandma in Chicago took me for those when I was on vacation there.
Sorry for diatribe, just wanted to explain some of the strange occurences & state again that I am FINE (except for my mind!!!)

NatureNut said...

Hey, Lolly, so glad you are coming all the way from TX!!!!Altho not all of us have seen the members, I feel like I know everyone from chatting on blog for about 6 mos! This is a GREAT GROUP!!

Glad to see Paula was on--pray things keep improving for Mom.

MASON WAKE ALL THE WAY UP!!
BBS

NatureNut said...

Hedgie, Congrats on your 3+ yrs!!! What you had sounds so scarey plus the followup treatment. I avoided chemo & rad.

(the dirty dish gnomes snuck into my kitchen when I wasn't even there!!!)

MITS said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE...BEAUTIFUL DAY AT THE BEACH TODAY....WAKE UP MASON:)

magpie said...

Hope everyone or at least some of you had a chance to see the SPECTACULAR HARVEST MOON TONIGHT...ONE OF THE BIGGEST MOONS EVER ! It must be a MASON MOON!

Headed for the tubby, glad to know that the Eagle Pair made a visit...

Back in a little while. Nice to "see" everyone, Good night to those disappearing early, going to check for JO's email in a bit..

xoxo

Lolly said...

Lorretta...understand about being fine except your mind. LOL Really....glad you are doing well. Look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.

Mema Jo said...

Just popping in and right back out..
Just wanted to see what was going on.
Nothing on any cam to view....

Going back over to the emails..
Getting some responses......
Getting me all excited........

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

This has been a very long day. Work took forever and then they asked for OT. Just got off. My butt is dragging.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good night and sweet dreams, my friends of fine feathers and fur!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Oh, by the way, I got the invite. Don't have to sneak me in now! Whew, that's a relief!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

MASON, WE REALLY WANT, NEED AND PRAY FOR YOU TO WAKE UP!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

My email is really screwed up. Just received an email blog comment that Wanda made at 7:48.

Lolly said...

Going to go stick my nose in a book. Glad we do not have to sneak you in, Sharon.

deb said...

Hi everyone! We have been busy exercising Gabby before we release him. His tests all came back clear and they (Minn. Raptor Center) recommended we release him instead of overwintering him. We are doing it like a falconer does with birds, with leggings and a 500 foot line. This afternoon he really took to the air for us. Wednesday is the big day, lots to do tomorrow, so I am staying over in Yankton Tuesday and Wednesday nights to save on driving at odd hours. I sure hope he picks up fishing quickly, so he is ready to migrate.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS FOR ALL...you'r doing really well Mason, keep it going.

magpie said...

Go Gabby !

Best wishes with all of it DEB, we are rooting for all of you - the birds and the staff !

xo

magpie said...

'Night Double E-S - there might be an email from me in there somewhere too...when your programs start running right....xoxo
(Hint: Got your Randy Travis CDs)

What a Long Day for You !
The Eagles Missed you, NO DOUBT !

SEA EAGLE ALERT AT FINNEY WATER NEST...

deb said...

Thanks for the heads up!! Glad I got to see it!

magpie said...

Gld you did too, Deb...nice way to end the evening....

magpie said...

Message for MOVIN:
You had a question about the type of water at the Finney Water Nest....think the islands are located in or along the Baltic Sea...

Paula posted a link a few weeks ago with some of the history of the area:

http://www.luontoon.fi/page.asp?Section=5300

Sorry - don't know how to blue thingy it for you...

deb said...

Time for me to get to bed, long day tomorrow.

I'll be back sometime on Thursday!

hedgie said...

Hey Deb...good luck w/ Gabby!
Hi, Margy! When does your day shift start? Tues. or Weds?
Time to hit the hay for me. Prayers for all. 'Night, fowl friends.

Mema Jo said...

It is past time for me to hit the hay

Good Night all my eagle friends
Peace to you & yours
Pleasant dreams and peaceful sleep
Prayers for all our needs being said


Mason you are doing so well in rehab
Keep up the great work and
HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH

((hugs))

magpie said...

Good Night, Deb, Save Travels..

Good Night everyone else, I'm working dayshift Tuesday...

Eagle still at Finney's and a deer is at Pix PA

Take Care, and Prayers.
xoxo

movin said...

Thanks, Magpie, for the link to the Finnish archipelago...

Definitely could be the same area, although the rocky islets they pictured don't look much like what we see. However they mention "forested islands" as well, and it looks like the park is a large one. I think it is the same park, different area. ... And, yes, it appears to be the Baltic Sea we are looking at.

Now I'm wondering where the other nest might be over there. Looks more like the mainland.

There are some more Q & A's posted at the F & F site, but there's no definite signs that they will nest soon yet.
