SPLIT HAPPENED

hedgie said...

Have to say that I've never been in a warm clime for Christmas...don't think I would like it too much! Even tho' I hate snow, just seems that it goes better w/ the season than hot sun. Oops... I do remember one year when I was in high school that we had 80° on Christmas Day and neighbor kids were out playing basketball in shorts!

Mits said...

Yes, Deb these places are glorious at holiday time, I love seeing poinsettias used in the flower beds

Mits said...

Well, I do believe Jesus was born in a desert in the middle east:):), so He did not have snow.

deb said...

Moose and a buck!

deb said...

Eagle at Caltrans.

deb said...

Buck is gone, just one moose now.

deb said...

Now two deer!

deb said...

Darn, back to one deer.

Mits said...

tree is lit and the skaters are skating in NYC, doesn't look like any accumulation in the city

deb said...

Two eagles at Caltrans, two deer on moose cam.

deb said...

Four deer. Gotta go find the tree cam.

Mits said...

well I knew the deer and the antelope play, didn't know that deer and moose do:)

Mits said...

sent you the link, Deb.

deb said...

The deer are sure running around. Wish it was live, so we could see them in action.

Caltrans eagles disagreeing about the food, she is getting testy!

deb said...

Thanks, been watching the deer, instead of going to get it!

deb said...

Oh, she switched cams, still see one deer in the trees. It is really snowing there today.

deb said...

When you watch the tree cam you see all the flash bulbs going off.

Mits said...

She usually closes down at 5 her time, it is snowing alot

Mits said...

last year, you could hear the music....NBC has gone "el cheapo" this year

deb said...

I think she is closed now, she must have wanted us to see the deer action before she closed down.

hedgie said...

Of course you are right, Helen, about Jesus' birthplace being a desert location! I think it snowed in Jerusalem a couple of years ago, though!

deb said...

They are skating away at Rockefeller Square. Puppies are sleeping. It is not snowing at the snowman cam and it looks like they had some freezing rain, it is all sparkly.

glo said...

Well I am home from the party. We had lots of kids and their moms/caretakers come. The roads were fairly good in most places.

I have posted pictures on Glo's Glimpse's. I work tomorrow so am off to bed very soon. Those who subscribe to Glo's Glimpse's will see the photos tomorrow, perhaps especially if their is a new thread in the morning , someone could mention the party and point folks to the pictures as of course the info will be lost over here once we get into the weekend. Thanks to whomever follows through on that. There really are some who may want to see them and won't get the email notice.

Restful sleep and a Great tomorrow to all. I think we get more light snow tomorrow and well Sunday is another story, lets just say Debs weather stops here before moving east. Good Night all

Mema Jo said...

Nite Nite Margy have a good big 3 hrs sleep...

wvgal_dana said...

Weather man if not calling for nice stuff tonight for us gals.

magpie said...

Got that right, Wanda!

Dana - did you hear a helicopter flying around this morning? Someone ran off from a traffic stop State Police had, and they were going to bring a chopper in to look...suspect was running around up near exit 20 and TJ Jackson Drive, Trooper 3 was coming in from Frederick.

Well, I'll catch you answer later...
really, this is It. Gonna turn off video cams and blog...

Bye Bye !

Costume Lady said...

Sleep well, Margy and have fun shopping...Gene and I are hoping to finish up our shopping today.
Have a good day, Dana....I'm outta here too.

wvgal_dana said...

Well since our eagles came in. I got my fix. Maybe they will bring something back to nest to eat. Then others getting up can see them too. If so I'll read about it in comments.
zzzzzzzzzzzz

glo said...

Awww I missed a nest visit. Well I am up and ready for work but first Coffee and dog treats with the neighbors. Then Dex can go to work for Ankle biting peanutbutter biscuits. He loves em, kids must be good cooks. That one was totally done without my knowledge til like 3 days ago a staff told me. Since she was very ill , loves Dex and was headed for surgery I think she wanted me to know she knew about it. We have promised to go to her home to visit when she is feeling better. Had a heart valve transplant.

OK off to get some java to wake up. Yep still riding high from the party. Kids will be too . Enjoy your day.

hedgie said...

Glo, pics were great! Looked like a very nice party, and I'm sure everyone had a wonderful time. God bless you for all you do, and Dex, too!
Know you're tucked in, Margy...heard them talking about the chopper, etc., but didn't hear what the "runner" was all about! TY for info! Don't think they found him!!

I just put some peanuts out for the bluejays and sent the squirrels home for awhile. They hop all the feeders from the birds. I figure the birds need some food in them when it is this cold.

Mits said...

watching the Bluefield WVA cam look like a fire.

Mema Jo said...

Norma Flamingo cam is up/running at FONZ........

Mema Jo said...

First time ever I get to see
Orangutans at Think Tank

Mits said...

Glad to see they finally got it fixed...

Mema Jo said...

Hi Mits - I'm not doing much today.
We'll go to Mass at 5:00 as long as the weather holds out. I just walked out the driveway for the mail... Norma you found a beautiful eagle card that I hadn't seen before-Thanks Loretta - loved your kitty Christmas card - Hey There-you can really draw an eagle really well

Mema Jo said...

Loretta - at first I thought it was
AFLAC

Mema Jo said...

I'll BBL

Mits said...

I'm doing laundry today,,,hubby is back in town, but went down to the Verizon center to see Mt St Mary's and Georgetown play B-Ball

Mits said...

something is near the mic.

deb said...

Quiet day at the nests. Nothing happening right now. Ice is empty in NYC, I wonder if they are bringing out the Zamboni, my question has been answered, there it is!

deb said...

NBG is still down.

NatureNut said...

Don't see a new thread, so hope I'm not dancing in the dark!
Have 3 tundra swans on the water & earlier saw a juvie eagle fly over.
It is very gray & seems to be getting a little colder.Wind from E. I went out & trimmed a few sprigs of greens & berries for display.Need some pine for that great smell.

deb said...

You are on the right page, Loretta. Do you have your camera for the swans?

Mema Jo said...

Looks like new feed has been spread out in the PA woods....

deb said...

Puppy cam just went off, so the puppies must be off on an adventure today.

deb said...

I have a cat on the PIX PA cam!

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Everyone

I got it Deb 1 at BWO ty

wvgal_dana said...

WOW BIG GUN SHOT BLACK POWDER NCTC

Mema Jo said...

Finally I get to see the cat in the woods!

deb said...

That was my first time, too, Jo. It was there for quite awhile.

Snow is coming down pretty good on the moose.

Mits said...

big bluejay at Okie cam

deb said...

There are tracks in the snow at the Burrowing owl cam.

Mits said...

I think they can slide right into their hole now, Deb

deb said...

It's a new sport, owl sledding!

NatureNut said...

Yes, Deb. Took pic of swans. One of the 3 of them is not too good---they were spread out. But got 1 by itself. Have pic of eagle in the tree this AM. Had to go out past nest earlier & no one home. Our secretary says she's seen them a lot. She is there at 7:12 AM. So that's like NCTC visiting time!

NatureNut said...

Boo, can't watch Babylanta on weekends. Guess we only have a week to see him live.Loved their comments about LunLun taking him into the exhibit room!

Mits said...

okie feeder is one busy place this afternoon.

deb said...

A chickadee was just there and then off again. Back again.

deb said...

Gone again, they don't hang around long.

deb said...

My neighbor's shed started falling apart last weekend in that storm. It is really rattling today. Maybe she will get it taken down soon.

deb said...

Moose on the move.

Mits said...

what are you winds like today, Deb?

deb said...

Break is over, off to get more done.

Mits said...

just talked to Ceil, they are on the train in DC, will be leaving at 4:05p.m., told her we would probably hear them when they go by between Hapers' Ferry and Martinsburg

deb said...

How long will it take them to get there, any idea?

Mits said...

I don't know, train heads out of DC, on to Rockville, so after that probably picks up some speed

Mits said...

big crowd up in NYC to see the Tree

Mits said...

Zamboni is out cleaning the ice rink

Mema Jo said...

See you all later this evening

Going to Mass

No Precip yet!

Mits said...

We are going tonight too, Jo:)

deb said...

It's not snowing anymore in Utah.

deb said...

EAGLES at BWE.

deb said...

one poof at BWE.

deb said...

Just a tail visible now at BWE.

deb said...

And poof, all gone at BWE.

deb said...

NBG is still black.

deb said...

Lots of geese near our nest. Wish our pair would pop in.

Costume Lady said...

Hey, Deb...you are on here talking to yourself...I'll stay with you till we get a visit:)

deb said...

I've done that a lot today, Wanda, I just gab away in between loads of laundry!

Costume Lady said...

Gene and I just got home from shopping... the stores were sooo crowded!

deb said...

Beauty in Alaska:

Denal

deb said...

No travel advised here, but I bet a lot of people made it to SF yesterday if they weren't done shopping yet.

deb said...

It isn't bad in town at all, except for the cold. It is 1 with -23 windchill, but sun is out and visibility is good. I haven't ventured out, so not sure what the visibility is in the country.

I don't think we are going to get a visit.

Costume Lady said...

It is getting VERY dark here, Deb. We are expecting snow tonight, so Lib & Belle may be hunkering down somewhere.

Costume Lady said...

Not expecting a lot of accumulation of anything, but the roads will be slippery til temps warm up. We are at 33° right now.

Costume Lady said...

I'm giving up...have to fix supper. Later...

Mits said...

seems to me they did not show up last Saturday, when the guns were going off at NCTC.

Mits said...

people walking around the snowman cam

Mits said...

LATEST FROM HUMMER NEST....

I didn't see her much during last week's heavy rains.

Mits said...

LW eagles are late tonight

Mits said...

deb said...

Eagles in LW!!

deb said...

deb said...

I love it when their eyes shine.

Mits said...

deb said...

Now one.

Mits said...

me too...just sent you a pic, Deb

Mits said...

off to eat dinner...BBL:)

deb said...

And gone. It was a nice visit! I got the picture.

deb said...

I think it just started snow at LW, just light snow. Or it could be the eagles in the tree up above sending snow down to the nest.

deb said...

Eagle at WE in CA.

deb said...

Now two eagles at WE.

Anne-Marie said...

anybody home?

Anne-Marie said...

Guess not,

Mits said...

Hi Annemarie....by Annemarie

Mema Jo said...

The LW pics were awesome! Thnaks!

hedgie said...

Glo wanted everyone to check out her pics of last evenings shelter party on Glo's Glimpses !!
Quiet evening here...no weather yet! Fire is going, have had my bath and feel sleepy enough to call it a day...but if I go to bed yet I'll be up too early in the morning! LOL....can't win! MAY have a late evening out tomorrow if the snow/ice don't materialize...concert at church in Charles Town--daughter is ringing bells. So it will be a late evening.

hedgie said...

Wonder where Ceil,
Jim and M.M. are at this moment??!!
DOubt that they have gotten as far as Chicago yet...seems to me when I checked out the schedule last year--thinking that I might go to St. Louis by train--I think that it was 20 hrs. to Chicago. I may be wrong...

hedgie said...

Anne Marie...what have you been up to???? You are just too busy!!!
