Norma - Liberty was in the nest with Belle. I'm sure she is
waiting for him......

deb said...

I think she is getting ready to leave!

Mema Jo said...

The wait must be too long

There she goes

normabyrd said...

I bet LIBERTY is SUPPOSED to be getting food!!---ho!---

deb said...

And gone. That was a nice visit.

Snow is gone from the OR nest.

Mema Jo said...

Sure was great while it lasted

wvgal_dana said...

I think she was there just reflecting on her first eaglets that have come back to the area this year. What a homecoming that must have been. I think the sighting of 2 eagles and was it 2 immature. Was her's and Liberty's first ones to come home.

normabyrd said...

wvgal_dana said...

deb said...

That's great blue heron--too excited to spell it out.

wvgal_dana said...

Yep Deb spotted it...I know they eat live fish...Wonder about that fish laying in nest. WWS=Wait Watch and See..

wvgal_dana said...

Deb they eat smaller fish than that one don't they?

hedgie said...

Yes, Margy, I saw the hedgie in the paper...cute! And sad about Dr. Stine.
Yes, Red, your avatar IS great!
Margy just missed the nest visit! Shucks.

deb said...

I believe they do, Dana. For a bird that looks so big, they are pretty small.

hedgie said...

Steve must be really busy getting ready for Sat....no new thread today...been a while since that's happened.
Jo, did you ask him if he wanted to join us for dinner??

deb said...

Great blue herons fish in both the night and the day, with most of their activity occurring around dawn and dusk. Herons use their long legs to wade in shallow water and their sharp "spearlike" bills to catch their food. Great blue herons' diet consists of mainly fish, but also includes frogs, salamanders, lizards, snakes, birds, small mammals, shrimps, crabs, crayfish , dragonflies, grasshoppers, and many other aquatic insects. Herons locate their food by sight and usually swallow it whole. Herons have been known to choke on prey that is too large. (Ferguson, 1998)

Mema Jo said...

Yes I did. Usually we see him for sure with his family at lunch at NCTC

floralgirl said...

Have you guys seen this? NCTC open house

Mema Jo said...

I am still chuckling to myself

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Megan - I had been checking & sorta gave up.... Looks good!

deb said...

Thanks, Megan, nice to know what we will be seeing on Saturday.

I put up a very short clip of Belle leaving on my page.

deb said...

Clouds, or maybe fog, rolling by in Oregon.

T-Bird said...

It great to see that friends are traveling from all over the USA to attend.. I know my sister and Niece are going from Hagerstown with the 3 kids.. Will have ya'll in my thoughts while in Florida and i know Lib & Belle will appear for all to see!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Been thinking it's almost time for your trip to Disney.
Will miss you at Open House and dinner.

MITS said...

Mema Jo said...

I skipped out for awhile Had to watch my Wheel of Fortune!

Hi Nilla - Have fun at Disney.
thanks Megan for those sites.

Mits - that is the daddy of all raccoons. He is really large -

Mema Jo said...

I wonder if anyone saw the groundhog today......

floralgirl said...

I saw one in my yard, but I have no webcam...lol....

Mema Jo said...

I am watching something in the background at the log, Mits.
It was dark - but it just
disappeared.

wvgal_dana said...

Jo the groundhog on the cam? Yes he/she was there today.

Mema Jo said...

He is a regular - loves that corn
I think.

Mema Jo said...

Megan - what did you do to scare him out of your yard?

Mema Jo said...

There is chubby now.......

Guess I better check out Panda Cam

Mema Jo said...

Panda Cam also has a little chubby
all alone sleeping......

floralgirl said...

Just yelled at him, he ran off. We have a lot of large grounhogs this year. Earlier this spring we saw about 8 babies with a parent. We have one we call grandad, he is huge and yet elusive...he lives on..

Mema Jo said...

Megan - do you get the Panda Cam

LunLun has taken Little Luney and she is lying down & he is stretched
out with his head under her paw.

Mema Jo said...

Well I guess they turned out the lights in the panda den.....
Very dark... doesn't even look like the night light is on.......

Mema Jo said...

I am out of here for and hour or so

I do like the new TV show called
Mentalist......
