As soon as the heat leaves I will get the birds back. they are too smart to live in this heat. The grapes are ripe and they love them. they fight the squirrles to eat them.

Anne-Marie said...

OOPS but that was a thrilling ride.

Anne-Marie said...

Where is everyone. hello....where did you go. I'm scared over here alone..

wvgal_dana said...

Your not alone Anne ( :

Anne-Marie said...

Wow that was scary...

wvgal_dana said...

I bet Brandon had a ball at the fair.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Anne-Marie, you are never alone on here! :)

MITS said...

I was waiting for you all to slide on down.....

Anne-Marie said...

Brandon had a ball. I started to limp about 1/2 way through it and my son went and got a wheel chair for me. I was embarrassed but he was being so sweet I couldnt refuse. It really helped.I probably wont get that knee replacement until I get back from WV.

floralgirl said...

Whioa- wicked split...
I can be pretty sneaky, Mits..
Glad to hear your planta are blooming fine, Dana. We have so many hummers this year, more than ever it seems.

Anne-Marie said...

I have been lazy long enough this morning. I havent even made my bed let alone cleaned the kitchen. I'm going to turn on some music and get to it before I get company and I am ashamed of how the place looks. BBL

MITS said...

Yes, Megan and they would let you in and protect you...me, they would say lady go home:)

MITS said...

out of here for a little while...later

Costume Lady said...

Hello Ladies...
Doesn't look like anyone is on right now. Just stopped at the Va. Beach Visitors Center and saw this 'puter...thought I say Hi!
Had a beautiful trip down here. Got stopped for about an hour on I95 because of an accident, but otherwise, a really pretty drive. We take 17 most of the way.
Have a good evening.

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Wanda & Gene - Have a great time!

paula eagleholic said...

Boy, this sucks!

Zoo Atlanta’s Panda Cam will focus on giant pandas Yang Yang and Mei Lan from 10 AM to 5 PM until further notice. Zoo officials will provide regular updates several times a day on the status of Lun Lun and her cub, including, when available, photos and video clips.

floralgirl said...

Yes it does..........

paula eagleholic said...

Heading home...gotta mow...catch ya'll later!!

MITS said...

yeah, it does, but guess they were inundated with calls the other day when they had to rescue the cub....

MITS said...

later Paula:)

hedgie said...

Hey, Dana...Premier Physical Therapy had a small pool at their Berkeley Springs location, and a really small one at the Martinsburg place. B.S. closed; Mtbg. moved out of small bldg. on Tavern Rd. into the large bldg. where either the Surgi-Center is or on the end where Centers for Orthop. Excellence is....don't know if they put a pool in that new location or not. Worth checking into.

hedgie said...

LATEST UPDATE:
Wednesday, September 3, 5:00 PM
Lun Lun and her cub are doing well. Brief exams of the cub at 9:30 AM and 1:15 PM today indicate that he is maintaining his body temperature and steadily gaining weight. At the afternoon check he was 134.8 grams. Lun Lun continues to tolerate the cub’s removal, but responds quickly and appropriately when he is reintroduced. Veterinary staff continues to administer antibiotics to both as a precautionary measure.

hedgie said...

Our nest does look like the sides are being built up nicely!
And it is nice to have our still cam back...thanks Steve and John and anyone else who did the job!

hedgie said...

Knock, knock...where did everyone go? Catch you later!

MITS said...

Hi Lynn, bye Lynn:)

Mema Jo said...

Knock Knock Anyone home?

ceil said...

Hi, Jo. I'm here. Have we found Bob yet? LOL

ceil said...

Where did you go?

Mema Jo said...

Hi Ceil - I didn't go far!

I am looking for something light to eat......Had an abundant lunch with hubby & Daughter up at Mountain Gate
in Thurmont... Buffet

Mema Jo said...

lol I sent Bob an email the other day he was on and ask him to please print and put above his sunvisor...
Name and address of the Rumsey!

Mema Jo said...

With the new cub - hoping that Chrissy knows all about it.. Haven't
seen her on here for a while...

ceil said...

How was the your little excursion today?

ceil said...

I sure she knows. When it comes to pandas Chrissy keeps up with the news. Hope all is well with her.

Mema Jo said...

We did NOT find the refuge site that supposedly had the bald eagle. I was disappointed but I have to research the location a little more.
We got a good tour of the mountains!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

wish i was a panda

Mema Jo said...

Also got some good home grown apples, peaches and plums!

Mema Jo said...

Wish I could see a panda cub....

Mema Jo said...

I would also like to see 2 eagles in our nest........ NOW!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

me too mema jo

ceil said...

Sorry you did not find it. Sounds like a good trip for fruits. Love this time of year for apples.

ceil said...

Wish they would show the cub even for a few hours. Hope to see eagles tonight also. We don't want much.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, I am going to preface this with - I know, I need a life. I just looked back through the blogs and on September 3, 2006, we had 1267 comments. I blogged the first time on April 7, 2006. Boy the memories in reading some of that stuff and people on there that I had forgotten about. Wonder where they are now?

Mema Jo said...

So I started April 2006 also - at least to blog. I found the cam just because I was looking for a Bird Watching class for Jennifer. I know your friend Ozzie put you onto the cam.

So on Sept 3 2006 How many days worth of comments were there....
Like where did Steve go for that Labor Day Weekend?

ceil said...

Just went and lite my candle for Mason. He could use a few more.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Ceil - Going over now...
BRB

Mema Jo said...

DID YOUR EAGLE CAM GO DOWN?

Mema Jo said...

Mine is back - Spidey did it.

Mema Jo said...


Candles for Mason

ceil said...

I have some work to catch up on. Good night.

Mema Jo said...

I'll check back in a few......

glo said...

I posted first on March 30, 2006. Think the only other one I saw who had posted was someone named Beth by that point anyway. May have missed someone. That was the beginning of a very life changing experience for sure.

MITS said...

I can't remember what I had for lunch, yesterday....think I first posted sometime in June 2006????

MITS said...

raindrops are falling in Brisbane.

Mema Jo said...

Mine was April 2006
When I go to the Profile page it tells me when I first joined..

MITS said...

deer in PA

Mema Jo said...

They say that Brisbane has had a rather cool summer so far (Colder then usual) They are just not
sure F & F are going to use the nest on their ledge.......

paula eagleholic said...

I first blogged on April 11, 2006. My Birthday!

MITS said...

I don't have a profile page anymore.

paula eagleholic said...

This was Australia's coldest August on Record.


Gotta go eat, I'm starving!

MITS said...

well that would be a shame...no F&F

Mema Jo said...

WHoo Hoo I bet you won't forget that date, Paula.

I remember you took your profile down, Mits.


I'm am trying to find my first time on the blog... Not even sure I was Mema Jo then--- I know I had sent in Belle tenting over the little ones in a rain storm.

Lolly said...

Hi all! Excuse me while I groan! Ohhhhhhh!! LOL We had a WONDERFUL break in the weather today. High was in the upper 70's. Jack and I worked in the yard all day. I am sooooo tired! But, it was so great! We did not get any rain, but boy the wind has been blowing.

So, excited about the baby panda. Looks like all is going well. Such a good momma!!

Jack and I talked this evening about going to the open house. Looks like we might make it. Wahoo! You can all chip in and help pay for our gas!!! ONLY KIDDING!!!!!

Need to go take care of dinner. Tonight Salmon croquettes with green onion sauce. How does that sound?

BBL

MITS said...

I love salmon croquettes, we would put undiluted cream of celery soup on them

Lolly said...

Oh, but green onion sauce is sooo good!!!

Mema Jo said...

GOOD GOOD GOOD!

Lolly & Jack are coming eastward!

MITS said...

Lolly, call the Comfort Inn, maybe they will let you park there...maybe NCTC wil let you park there....maybe Megan will let you park in her garden:)

MITS said...

buck at PA now

Mema Jo said...

I'm still looking back into the 2006 blog - We sure didn't know about and use the blog much at all - if any!

Blogger Glo said... Hey Thanks for this whole sight. I just discovered the BLOG this morning. I have been busy eagle watching and didn't see the link before now. I am having a wonderful time with the eagles and now the BLOG too. Cool. Thanks so much!!
Friday, March 31, 2006 9:47:00 AM

MITS said...

buck and doe still at PA

Mema Jo said...

OK So on 4/3/06 I sent in 2 photos that Steve posted..... However, I
didn't comment until April 10th -
the day before Paula's b-day

It was right before they tried the live feed .......

OK that means I am history! lol

Mema Jo said...

I missed those deer..... Maybe they will come back

floralgirl said...

WOW- sounds like everybody is coming to the open house:))))

MITS said...

sent you some pics, Jo

paula eagleholic said...

Mits- your profile is set to private...

Mema Jo said...

I see the raccoons in the woods.....

paula eagleholic said...

I watched the cam for over a month before I knew about the blog...only found out about it because Steve put a link on the cam page...

Did you see there was a Lolly from NY that posted?

Mema Jo said...

Megan - this is going to be a BIG one

paula eagleholic said...

Lolly - would love to meet you and Jack!

Mema Jo said...

I got them Mits Thanks.....

Mema Jo said...

When I first saw Lolly back in 2006
I thought "Well she never said she was on here!" Then I saw the NY

Some of those I just never heard of - Wonder if they watch anymore.

Maybe it was Beth from right there in Shepherdstown.....

Mema Jo said...

MEGAN
How long did it take you and Robyn to drive up to Romney last year for the train ride?

floralgirl said...

I think about hour 45 minutes. At first you're on highway, then it's a long windy road the rest of the way.

Mema Jo said...

Some of the group may wish to do the train on that Sunday... I thought it was about 2 hrs - so the 10:00 ride you would need to be out of Shepherdstown between 7:30 & 8:00.

MITS said...

yes, Paula, I know:)

MITS said...

darn missed the racoons....

MITS said...

OC boardawalk is looking a little thinned out

MITS said...

here come the racoons:)

MITS said...

that is one fat racoon

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good evening all. It has been so good remembering those early days! :)

Did you all know that when I was in Charlottesville in 2006, I received a dozen roses from Spunky, Big Boy and Ms. InBetween? It was so awesome!

MITS said...

aww, what nice juvies they were:)

MITS said...

off to watch HGTV....bbialw

glo said...

Yes they were absolutely the best

MITS said...

raccoon gone...

Mema Jo said...

Couldn't get any better!!!!

Where were you when you got little Tai?

magpie said...

Hi Everyone. Sneaking on here late, so glad to read of Baby Panda Boy's progress...and to see that the Cam is back in business. Now, we can anticipate those early morning sightings!
THELMA - we will need your and Buddy's MAGIC GAZE to bring things to life in the morning....

One Osprey at WildWatch cam...

xoxo

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I was at home when I got Tai!! I think he arrived right after I got home from UVA.

magpie said...

Grateful prayers that our Nilla's family got through the hurricane okay....
and so nice to get that little exposure to Wanda today...

magpie said...

Racoon party at Pix Pa

wvgal_dana said...

Margy when I go to Wanda's site I still can't find the birthday pics.

Can you go on her site and see if you can find them please?

Mema Jo said...

HI Margy! How was your 12 hr day?

magpie said...

Dana - I am checking now...and can't get to them either! she might have done a blue thingy link on one of her past posts...will go check and be back on shortly....

I had seen them on her site before, but not now....

curious !

magpie said...

Hi Mema - -

It was droll....

Spent hours working on getting information on putting 14 spools of stolen electrical cable into the Crime Index for Stolen articles! But they're in!

Back Soon xox

Mema Jo said...

I also checked all 3 of her blogs BUT they have disappeared.
Guess we'll need to wait for her return. Wanda probably isn't aware of it either!

She didn't put a link, Margie - we know to just click on her avatar......

magpie said...

Yes - On Sunday night late, Wanda had posted them on Wanda's Wishes and commented that she was then going to paste them onto sites or locations for the rest of the family so I think that is where they disappeared to.

DANA - I think she will be able to re-post them as Mema says..we'll just have to wait a few days for it !

It is mysterious that they are gone....

xo

magpie said...

NO chicks at WildWatch now, but a deer has encroached upon the racoons at Pix PA

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you because I have been checking "all" day for those pics.

paula eagleholic said...

There's a bunch of pics missing from Wanda's blog...they were there...

magpie said...

Ferry boat at Finneys, left to right....

magpie said...

I heard them! They were saying GOOD NIGHT JO !

Time for this old bird to roost, got to get up early to look for Eagles!

Good Night Everyone....
Take Care, and Prayers...xox

Mema Jo said...

Watching Palin's speech on TV at the convention.. BBILW

Mema Jo said...

Whoops! A very large deer in the woods. I wonder where our lame leg deer ever got to.........

MITS said...

something is in the Finland nest

MITS said...

sea eagle:)

MITS said...

maybe a white-tail eagle???

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Mits, he/she's beautiful

wvgal_dana said...

Night time to hit the hay

MITS said...

that is one pretty birdie

MITS said...

lots of boat traffic in Finland this a.m.

MITS said...

keeps looking around, maybe other eagle is on its way

paula eagleholic said...

Wish you could zoom in on the refreshed picture there...I keep getting the old one from 6:14

hedgie said...

Beautiful site at Finney water! Ferry and Bird!!

hedgie said...

That ferry really goes fast!

paula eagleholic said...

Aha, you have to let it refresh while it's zoomed in,,,duh, forgot that!

paula eagleholic said...

Birdie gone....

MITS said...

all gone...took off

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Hedgie!

paula eagleholic said...

Well, folks, gonna hit it...see ya in the AM

MITS said...

it has a white tail....so is that still a sea eagle or white tail eagle like the one that stole the chick in the other Finland nest

Mema Jo said...

If there is a difference between a Sea Eagle and a White Tail Eagle then
that was a White Tail Eagle in the Finny over the water nest.
Guess we need to research that....
The other Finny nest referred to the White Tailed Eagle that took the Osprey Chick.

Lolly said...

Put my nose in a book after dinner. Also, was watching a few of the speeches tonight.

Got on in time to catch the ferry. You on Jo?

We have the house open tonight. I just love it! Can go to sleep listening for an owl.

Parking my trailer in Megan's garden? I'll go for that! I am sure however, Megan would not! LOL We will probably make reservations at Harper's Ferry KOA.

hedgie said...

Hi Paula! Bye Paula!
Lolly, so great you are coming!
Jo, have you heard anything from Diane lately?

Mema Jo said...

Hey There Lolly! Nope-missed it again. It has been traveling too fast for me. First you see it then you don't then when you do it's out of the picture in the next split second! lol

Harpers Ferry sounds good!

MITS said...

Harpers Ferry is beautiful:)

Mema Jo said...

I emailed Diane just last week... No
reply to date. I'll keep you posted.

Iris cannot attend - she has the family affair out of state.
Vicky has not yet been able to make
her decision.

hedgie said...

So glad I finally saw the ferry!!

Lolly said...

We have been there before. Toured the area several years ago going to Civil war sites. This was long before all of you and eagle watching! Never knew what I was missing!

Mema Jo said...

Hope Deb checks in tonight - Going to be good to meet her next month!

hedgie said...

Come on, Vicki!! We miss you!
Thanks, Jo!
Too bad that ferry can't go pick up Chrissy and bring her across the pond!!

Lolly said...

Jo, tell me about the train ride. Also, I am sure you will be letting us know what is scheduled. When we get there I will not even know where to go. LOL

Lolly said...

Wouldn't that be great if Chrissy could come?!

MITS said...

head for the Comfort Inn in Sheperdstown,.....eagle party:)

hedgie said...

Don't worry, Lolly...we won't let you get lost!!

hedgie said...

I already tried w/ Chrissy! Sounds like health and finances just won't let her do it this year. Boo....

Lolly said...

We are going to have to start making our plans. We leave the
15th for the coast. Will be gone a week.

hedgie said...

Well, fowl friends, think I'll head for the tub. Been a long day, but a good one...time spent w/ old friends, plus with you "new" friends, good food, etc., but a horrible allergy attack this evening.....sneezed about 50 times and have had a BAD headache, and gone through almost half a box of tissues. Antihistamine finally kicked in, but I am drained! Good night all. Prayers and blessing. Wake up, Mason!

Mema Jo said...

Lolly - I'll email you info once everything is settled......
I'll be sure you have phone numbers for some of the momsters once you arrive...

Potomac Eagle Train

Mema Jo said...

I think there are some pictures from last year's group taking the train ride over in the Momsters photos.

MITS said...

2 eagles at Finland

Lolly said...

Thanks Jo! Jack and I will check out the train info. We love to take train excursions. Have done in in Colorado, Texas and New Hampshire.

Mema Jo said...

I am going to call it a good day

Good Night Everyone
Peace to you & yours
Prayers for all being said

Wake Up MASON and I pray the infection will leave your body

MITS said...

I was just reading some info, and it says that white tail eagles are also referred to as sea eagles....go figure?

Lolly said...

Saw the eagles, Mits!

Going to call it a night.

Sweet dreams.....I am about to fall asleep sitting here!

MITS said...

Good night everyone...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, IRIS

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE...

Tomorrow's Thursday already! Weekend's almost here, and we'll really have to take it easy and enjoy it...whether we want to or not. <:-D>

Off to have some routine blood work done.... I will return!

BBL

deb said...

Good morning, everyone. It is a nice sunny morning here, although the temp is a cool 46 here. We are headed to the low 70's. Last week we were seeking as much shade as possible, this week we want to be in the sun.

deb said...

Happy Birthday, Iris. I hope you have a great day!!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all!

Deb, are you gonna change your reservation and stay at the party hotel??

deb said...

I can't Paula, when I did my reservations I chose the non-refundable price at $15 a night less than the regular price. I thought all the rooms in Shepardstown were full, so I didn't even check there.

deb said...

I am off to Yankton, TTUL.

MITS said...

have a good one, Deb.

MITS said...

I never realized on the Golden Tamarin cam at the zoo, there are 2 sloths.....1 male 1 female, and I hear the Golden's tease them

Red said...

I have NO sound on the Golden Taramin cam.

paula eagleholic said...

CT Osprey cam update -

Sept. 2, 2008:
It's not over yet!
At least one Osprey chick is still hanging around the nest (see photo at right, taken today). We believe the 2 adults and its 3 siblings may have already departed on their southbound migration.

Looks like the cam is down today...but it was working yesterday!

paula eagleholic said...

Bird at BWO - crow, maybe

MITS said...

there is no sound, Red, only on the panda cam

Red said...

Guess I misinterepted your comment "I hear the Golden's tease them" Thought you meant you can hear them. This southern boy is thick skulled sometimes. lol

MITS said...

sorry, Red, I should have said, I heard from my zoo source, that the Golden's tease the sloths, actually he said they torture them....I did not know til today they they were part of the exhibit

hedgie said...

Happy Birthday, Iris!!
Morning all!

hedgie said...

I sent a great pic of Finney over the water nest w/ two lovely visitors from last night to yahoo group mail! Check it out!!

MITS said...

great pic, Lynn:)

MITS said...

SPLIT, coming up...

paula eagleholic said...

Happy Birthday, Iris!!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

hedgie said...

Pure luck that I just happened to open page at the very right moment, Helen!! Hardly ever that lucky. I really thought it was a good view.....guy on the right so stern-looking, and the one on the left just looks kind of fluffy and disconcerted!!

NatureNut said...

Wow, looks like time for SPLITSVILLE!
Good Eagle/Panda Day Everyone. See No see of baby panda & Lun. Oh well, can read the updates.
Have a great day!!!
