Split!!!!!

hedgie said...

Cool sight, Helen...I've been missing out! Other folkshave some nice eagle pics on there, too. Did I ever tell you I wanted to be a meteorologist when I was a kid....was told my math grades/skills weren't good enough! Did a project for school one time and wrote to Louie Allan and Frank Forrester---remember them, Helen, Loretta??---and they sent me all kinds of neat weather maps!

magpie said...

I remember Louie Allen, Hedgie!
You would make a good meteorologist - it's never too late !

I hate to leave this party, but I have to get ready for work.

Take care, all, see you Sunday.

Peace, Love, and Prayers xox ♥

Lolly said...

I am needing a nap. BBL

paula eagleholic said...

I hear something by the mike...

paula eagleholic said...

Delay that nap, Lolly!

Have a good eve at Work, Margy.

If WV won, who lost?

NatureNut said...

Happy PM Everyone. What a football game.
Thought I might have missed an eagle visit, but I do hear some little "clunks" now & then. Maybe someones sitting in tthe tree or the wind is blowing something. Oh well.

paula eagleholic said...

OK, Lolly, good thing you went for your nap!

Hi, Nature!

NatureNut said...

Hedgie, I remember those weather guys. And Willard was in DC before he & Bob Ryan swapped NY spots.

paula eagleholic said...

I am munching some leftover spinach dip!

Mits said...

NEVER HEARD OF THEM LYNN??? who are they?

NatureNut said...

Paula, WVU played UNC, Candy's team!

NatureNut said...

Really pooped today--had late breakfast, nibbled & had a Panda nap during ball game. Now I'm still not hungry for dinner. Guess all that pre-Xmas activity is catching up!
Have a peaceful night at work, Margy.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Nature...poor Candy!

NatureNut said...

OH NO---shots!!! Hasn't the sun gone down?????

normabyrd said...

WHOA SISSY!---I watched the game!!----I so wanted PAT WHITE to play well!!---HE CERTAINLY DID!!---He is such a good kid!!---He has now broken lots of records, etc.!------GOOD GAME--no matter who won!!-----Then I went over to WVU--OS basketball game---don't like basketball as much as football!!

paula eagleholic said...

I didn't know Bob Ryan came from NY

normabyrd said...

HELEN!---The weather man I think she is referring to is WILLIARD SCOTT!!---You remember him???---TODAY'S SHOW!!---

NatureNut said...

I think Bob Ryan was on Today Show & they wanted the "effervescent" Willard & so changed jobs.

normabyrd said...

PAULA---It was a BOWL GAME!!

NatureNut said...

Hedgie mentioned Louie Allen & Frank Forrester---they were on DC channels doing weather.Very good guys.

hedgie said...

Helen, Louie Allen I think was on Ch. 4 and Forrester maybe on 7 back in the 50's,60's. Think Willard Scott took over for Allen. Guess you were still in Baltimore then!

hedgie said...

Oops...mispelled Louie's last name the first time---I spelled it w/ a second "a" which is how my grandparents/mother spelled theirs!

hedgie said...

Loretta, Margy says they are allowed to hunt for 1/2 hr. after sunset. Boo!

Mits said...

didn't come to DC suburbs til 1984

Mits said...

well in my book, Bowl games don't mean anything till Jan 1st, and after...jmho.

hedgie said...

Norma, Sissy, Sharon, Thelma.... did I tell you that the WVU Sowers boy is my hairdressers' nephew?

hedgie said...

Oh, Mits, you're a newbie!

paula eagleholic said...

There are so many bowl games now, I can't keep up with them. Plus they change names every year it seems!

Mema Jo said...

Eagle at LW.

deb said...

Male that both at LW.

deb said...

Make not Male.

deb said...

We have wondered that, too, Vicky.

Mema Jo said...

Blogger just knocked me off

DEB when you get a chance, check your email.....



Going to LW

Mits said...

25 years, feel like I have been here forever,,,,will definitely not live here after hubby retires...

Mits said...

wish LW eagle would push that stick out of the way

Mits said...

poof at LW

Mema Jo said...

JAN or early FEB should be egg months all over the US Of A

Mema Jo said...

Hoping we get to see a fly in at
Caltrans' nest....

Just Vicky said...

Thank you so much "Mother Nature's other mother Mema Jo!"

Mits said...

they have been working on that bridge 4 weeks this Monday, wonder what is wrong with it?

deb said...

Info on the Caltrans eagles:

This pair of Bald Eagles has been returning to their nest
around December to begin their additions to the nest. Normally, they’re sitting on the nest
in January and incubating eggs in early February. They’re early this year, arriving the
first week of November, and have been sighted in and about the nest.

Just Vicky said...

I've noticed that too Mits.

Just Vicky said...

Thanks Deb, maybe this will be the first nest to watch!

deb said...

Eagles here lay eggs the end of February into the end of March. It depends on how bad the winter is.

Jo, I got it, answer on the way.

Mema Jo said...

Great Deb. Glad it worked.


Taking a short break.........

deb said...

I am getting ready for tomorrow, I have to be in Yankton at 5:45, so that means a very early morning for me. Night all, I won't be home until 7 or so tomorrow. (Christmas Bird Count)

NatureNut said...

I've never gotten Caltrans to open. Says there is something wrong w/QuickTime--Duh. I can open QT & play whatever. Maybe pop up blocker is the culprit.

hedgie said...

Yep, Helen, Paula is right...that's what I meant! Where will you go when hubby retires? Back to Baltimore? Where does he work?
Hey, Miss Vicki, how ya' doin'?? Hope you had a nice Christmas!

hedgie said...

Have a safe, fun trip to Yankton, Deb! Dress warmly.

paula eagleholic said...

Have fun Deb.

hedgie said...

Paula, how's your mom today?

paula eagleholic said...

She's doing OK...getting better slowly.

Mits said...

yes, Vicky at times there have been big cranes there.....Lynn we would like to go back to Annapolis where we fist lived when we were married almost 35 years ago...hubby has worked for the smae accounting firm for 40 years next June

Mits said...

Deb have a good time tomorrow...

Mits said...

yawn, I'm still tired, shutting down for the night....take care everyone...

deb said...

I just read today's comments, thanks, Helen, for putting my page on here. I didn't know they scored the pictures, I just thought it was for fun.

Night again, thanks for the good day wishes. Lynn, I have two sets of clothes laid out, early morning when it it cold, lighter clothes for when it gets into the 30's.

hedgie said...

Mits, if you're still here...Annapolis is truly beautiful! Nice place to retire to.
Good to hear that news, Paula.

Lolly said...

Good evening! Boy, I conked out this afternoon. I've been going 90 mph since a week ago Thurs. Kids left and I conked!

Hopefully, we will have our computer back Tuesday. A friend is working on it. It has been working funny since we got the new monitor. SIL worked on it yesterday, but got nowhere,

Costume Lady said...

Hi, Ladies...I just read ALL of today's comments. What wonderful reading. I smiled at you girls so much, I can't get the smile off my face! I still get a little dizzy when I read (like when you watch a train go by), but it's getting better.
WVU and Carolina was a WONDERFUL game. Two super teams. When a school plays in a Bowl game, the school gets BooCoos of money. Different Bowls are allocated different amounts of money and the 2 schools playing in that bow split the money (I think) with the larger sum going to the winning school. So the Bowl games are very important to the schools. I always thought it was just an honor...didn
t know money was involved. Millions:) GO EEEEEEEEERRRRRRRSSSS!

Red said...

Lolly here are the links to the cams you wanted.

Moose cam

Maine Cam

Caltrans

paula eagleholic said...

Good to see you on here, Wanda. Hope you are feeling better.

Costume Lady said...

Thanks, Paula...much better. I guess it was just my turn:)

wvgal_dana said...

Had company and then watched some neat movies on HBO.

Nice to read comments of everyone.

My weatherbug is blinking have to see what's up there?

My boy eagle got a mate and they really like each other.

Costume Lady said...

I think it is really strange...when I came on here, everyone scattered and left the building! Honestly, I am not contagious...that part is gone...everything is gone but my friendship with the bathroom. LOL

I'll go to bed now so you scardey cats can come on back:):)

GOOD NIGHT TO EVERYONE OF YOU
SWEET AND HAPPY DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL

wvgal_dana said...

Jo so glad my card made it too you and you picked it up.

Costume Lady said...

Hey, Dana...I see you are not afraid of catching my germs.;)

wvgal_dana said...

Paula I am so so glad you Mother is doing better. ( :

Costume Lady said...

Just dense fog...OK, Goodnight.

paula eagleholic said...

Hopefully she will get out of the hospital sometime this week, so maybe we can celebrate Christmas after New Years.

wvgal_dana said...

That certainly will work Paula.

We are doing several Christmas's since the 25th. Have one with several family members tomorrow evening.

Paula my 2nd Eagle is also a "Webkinz" this one is the girl.

paula eagleholic said...

I haven't done my Webkinz yet Dana...guess we can make them a boy or girl...

hedgie said...

Wanda, you didn't scare me off, kiddo...I fell asleep on the sofa! Still groggy enough that I'm heading on to bed. Hope everyone sleeps well. See you tomorrow. Prayers for all.

About a thousand Guinea Fowl in one spot drinking away this morning.

Mema Jo said...

WOW I took a long break!
We watched another Hallmark movie...

Good Night Everyone........

Costume Lady said...

I'm playig Magie tonigt.....still Did you know that you can make a boy or girl fish by the amount of heat the egg is give. So I know you shouldn't have any trouble deciding on your eagles being boy or girl! Ar you confused now?? well, so am I. I am in bed you all are just dreaming all of this. Put it all down until tomorrow.

paula eagleholic said...

Actually, the Mama eagle determines the sex...so Dana decided she wanted a boy first and then a girl...

I just haven't decided yet!

Night all

Hugs to all ♥

Lolly said...

Thanks Red! Appreciate it!

deb said...

I am up and ready to load the pick=up. It is 12 in Yankton and going to get up to 37. I'll be back later tonight with a CBC report! Hope you have lots of visits today. :)

magpie said...

Oh - Good Morning - There is an Eagle in the Nest, right now...

magpie said...

Eagle just arrived at BWO

magpie said...

I think maybe it has been there for awhile...just sitting on that same side of the nest..OUR Nest that is...

magpie said...

And a Hooded Crow at Finney's -

magpie said...

I cannot tell you which Eagle is at OUR Nest....

magpie said...

I need one of the Experts to tell me...

magpie said...

Two eagles at BWO now.

magpie said...

Just flew off to the right...and now singing - I think, is on the cam branch, just heard noises at the microphone

magpie said...

Eagles mating at BWO ♥ ♥

magpie said...

Sigh..I am all alone....:(
I will post a few pics on the Momsters email...
Back in a few...
xo

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Deb and Margy. Deb stay warm out there. Margy I read you caught an early morning visit at OUR nest. Way to go gal..

magpie said...

Good Morning Dana..

I think the Bird in OUR nest had probably been there awhile, it was not sleeping but just hanging around...made a few chirps, then flew off after awhile.

My eyelids are drooping. I did get a few pictures posted on the Yahoo page...hope you all can view them okay. Sorry that is the only way I can post things yet.

Going to read through last night's posts then drop back on here before saying Good Night...

xo

magpie said...

Two Hooded Crows at Finney's - it is getting dark fast there now..

magpie said...

It sounds quite windy at NCTC but it is calm here in Berkeley County...
Well, I have to say good night now, got to work again tonight but only for six hours.

Loretta, I cannot get Caltrans either, tried to reset Quik Time and failed...going to have to get that one going soon!

Good Sunday to all...xoxo ♥

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
I see I missed a morning visit, but Margy's photo is a nice reminder. Thanks, gal:) (Looked like Lib to me)

wvgal_dana said...

I have to finish out Christmas before I can put up anything for New Years.

Yes Paula when you enter the "Webkinz world". You have to decide on the sex. It is so funny how it worked out though. My 2nd eagle is a little taller and a little more rounded than the first.
Girl eagles are bigger than the male. So I got lucky there.

NatureNut said...

First Good Morning for Today!!
I got up at 7:15 to check nest & missed them :>(
Thx fo0r Margy's pics!
Going back to bed..zzzzzzz

movin said...



**GOOD MORNING**

**EVERYONE**


I'm up very early, but I don't know how long it will last.

I hope you have a great day though.


[:~D]

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Jim and Loretta...Margy did get some great pictures !

I think I might head back and snuggle under those warm covers too.
