Good Morning steve and thanks.
I just wanted to wish everyone a
very merry christmas and a happy
new year.I will be back later,I
need to get some breakfast.
Indiana Nesting eagles----Dave
Well, gotta get busy around here & wrap stuff I was gonna do last night!
Holler if you see anything!
It's about 20 here.
Hear the train.
Good Morning Jim...this must be a first for you....getting on here so early and being n
#1 on the new thread...way to go, Jim!!!!
Good Morning to you too, Dave. Let us know what you had for breakfast. We need to know these things:)
HAPPY CHRISTMAS♪♪♫♫♫♪
I'm having home-made ponhaus and scrambled eggs...soon as Capt. Eagle decides to wake up and grace me with his presence:):)
Megan, I remember you once told us about seeing so many eeewwwwiieee's on your fence. Do you think it could be the same ones we saw near NCTC. I posted a photo of them a few weeks back.
That is a very large flock of them!I have never seen so many in one place before.
Hi costume lady I will do that.
I think i have to feed the checkens
and see if they have any eggs for
me, yum-yum.
Dave
Don't know Wanda, turkey vultires tend to roost in large flocks...We often have many of them in the morning on the fence posts drying out their wings and waiting for warm air currents.
Uh that would be vultures, not vultires, which is an entirely diffenent species...
I was never very fond of John and Yoko, as a couple, but I LOVE THAT SONG! Thanks for the memory, Megan.
mORNING, Wanda. No, I've caught the new thread first while opening it a few times before.
But I don't always sign on to it first..not the first time.
It is 46° and still falling apparently here in So Cal. We will have a fairly clear 59 later, but we are going to be doing rain both on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Oh, my goodness, Megan...I'm glad to know that they were drying their wings...I kinda thought they were waiting on you to slow down from your work so they could see if you were FAIR GAME for them! LOL
Jim, are you going to your Brother's for Christmas?
I think we are going to hop on the Eagle Express and head for Florida the Saturday after Christmas.
ok, apologies in advance for this one-it just makes me laugh...Christmas at Kmart
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas♪♫♪♫♪
Yes, Wanda, the plan is to drive down to my Brother-in-law's place for Christmas.
I have a sister and an uncle, who is 3 mos. older than I, but no actual brother.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
I just sent a rowdy email to Momsters. Should appear soon---& No Offense to Red!!!! Wonder if he's ever seen this in his part of AL?
Morning all! Mits, do you have the news on? Hope you don't need to go out...stay away from River Rd. near Fenway!! HUGE water main break....cars and people trapped! Rescue operations underway!
eagle in nest
A BIRD!!!!
That's interesting about the buzzards, as we call them out West here, Megan.
Growing up in the Torrey Pines Park area, which is world renowned for its thermals and updrafts...wind coming off the sea and encountering sandstone hills and steep cliffs, we would have 4-8 buzzards and Red-tailed Hawks soaring in large circles over our house almost always. But I do not believe I ever saw a congregation of buzzards anywhere on the ground. In fact we almost never saw them on or near the ground at all.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Lynn, I was wondering why my water pressure was sooooo low....hubby called and I turned on the news....it is a humongous water main break, pipe is 5 and a half feet wide....
Jim, my dad had an uncle who was 2 yrs. younger! Where does your family live?
Dave, are you serious about collecting eggs? Do you have a farm? Forgot to tell you, I hollered loud when I passed the Terre Haute exits both going & coming on St. Louis trip!!! Did you hear me?? Daughter thought I was crazy!
looking around..
Looks like Belle in our nest!!!!
Wanda, if these cold temps stick around, heading for FL is probably a good idea....whereabouts in the Sunshine state?
poof
POOF!!
Yes it does..and she's looking for Lib..and now gone...not a long visit maybe they'll be back..
Gone in a flash!
Helen, they are calling it an aqueduct!! Repair predictions sound dire....wouldn't it be terrible if you don't have water for the next couple of days??? Better fill jugs/pans, etc. now aNd go get your shower!!!
Belle sure didn't stick around long!! Isn't she beautiful? The ctl-wheel thing worked to center the pop-up cam image!
yes shower is done....
They are taking the rescued folks to Holton Arms to warm up....the campus you didn't know existed, Mits! Saying "back up " is to Mormon Temple where closest shut-off valve is.
I know where Holton Arms is, right up the road from me, by the beltway.....Mormon Temple is way around the beltway
Posted 2 pics of our AM Eagle on blog.
BBL--I REALLY do have stuff to do!
Morning all.
I actually saw an eagle in our nest a few minutes ago...first live visit for me in a long time.
Turkeys in PA
A brave crow or raven at the ME nest
One day this fall while birding we saw 7 turkey vultures on the ground near thousands of rare canada geese then went to lunch and an hour and a half later they were still there.
Merry Christmas to all of you if I don't get back here before then.
Y'all be good.
Holy Cow!! Just saw the river on River Rd, Bethesda!Said there was a 4 ft. wall originally, & it's
96" wide! Rescue people in boats & helicopters got people from their cars.
Morning, all...and especially to our west coast early bird, Jim.

On TV, Official just made a correction that the water main was 66" wide.
Eagle at PH
just had to rescue one of the rescuers...his boat flooded
yes, Norma about 5 mins by car
Merry Christmas, Granny!
Heard people are stuck in the cars in the water main break flood...one car was washed away to somewhere!
I'm inside the beltway, it is right outside the beltway
Lynn, we are heading for Ft. Pierce and Vero Beach.
Good morning, everyone. Lot's to do today and it is going to get up to 22, so it is a perfect day to run errands.. It is already 16 here.
WHOA!---Don't know how those folks survived in that COLD WATER & COLD WEATHER!-----
Sounds great, Wanda. Is GG going with you?
MORNIN' DEB!!---We still have your weather!!----Yesterday went to courthouse & when I reached up for railing to get up the 1st step---WIND blew me backwards---almost on my butt!!---It was ungodly COLD!!--
"NOT" KIDDIN'---We are up to 17° now---but NO WIND!!
Granny, did you see the photo of about 25 vultures on my Wild and Wonderful? I have never seen so many congregating in one place. There was a deer laying on the side of the road (which I deleted) and they were dining on that poor creature.
HEY PAULA!!----I think maybe we should just hitch a ride to FL---I know PEOPLE there!!----ho!---Wouldn't that be LOVELY!!!--DIVINE---WONDERFUL!!----ENJOY WANDA & GENE!---
Yes, Paula, we are taking GG and far as she wants to go. If she feels well enough to go all the way, to Ft. Pierce, then that is where we will go....if she gets tired of traveling or feels bad, we can turn around and come back home. We have all the conveniences of home, if she gets sick...we have a nice. comfy bed for her and I always take a little case with ALL her meds....Dr. phone numbers.
She is really looking forward to this trip because she has been feeling so well.
MERRY CHRISTMAS GRANNYBLT!---I enjoy hearing about all the EAGLES & other birds you see in your area!
I can smell your home-made bread baking!---ho!---I never forget folks who bake bread!!---LOLLY has it on Fridays----ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS!!
That is great, Wanda, hope you all have a great trip- look for me and Norma by the side of the road with suitcases..
Wanda as you drive south, bring water:)
JIM!---I have been behind in reading the blog---We--in my area--refer to them as buzzards too!!
Watching AZOO!---Is that 'BUTA BUTA' eating bamboo in the day room?----Have missed seeing the precious little PRINCESS!!
MEGAN---I think I read WANDA might go to VERO BEACH!!---I have a good friend there!----I know she would take us in!!---ho!
Off to get some stuff done and see what I can find for wildlife after all this bad weather. BBL
Good Morning to ALL of you!
I am up and about and getting ready to
go out!
Will join you later!
Ha Ha good morning everyone. I just got done listening to Christmas at K Mart and it is on my list of places to go today hmmmm Maybe I will rethink that destination. Might have what I am after at my local Walgreens.
I have been so busy I am meeting myself coming and going right now so not lots of sit down and watch cams time at the computer.
I did want to pause though to Wish all of you a Merry Christmas Time gets busier now for most of us over the next week or even two. Be safe, be happy be healthy and remember in prayer those who have needs on this Blog. We know who they are and what their needs are.
(((((hugs))))) Glo
Don't forget, last chance to get your pupy fix today...cam is up..
Wanda, my mom used to live in Port St. Lucie, which is near Ft. Pierce! She moved to Missouri where my sister is almost 4 yrs. ago.
Glo, ice crystals were beautiful!!!
Paula, the few folks who needed medical attention were taken to Suburban.
Now Suburban has no water! Mits???
Loretta, I'm not offended by the photo of the tank top. Just glad the photo did not show Mrs. Red's face. lol
BTW we call Turkey Vultures "Buzzards in Alabama too.
Lun Lun is dragging the fur off of Luney again today! Thumping along over every doorway and ledge.
Wanda, I used to live in West Palm Beach. Love to visit but would never want to live there again. Nothing like good ole West Virginia!!
Eagle in our nest!
Blogger cop is killing me out here!!!
EAGLE!
Red, I thought that was my ex-sister-in-law in that tank top!!
BOTH OF EM!
Where is everyone!!
Looks like an early lunch.
Right here, thanks, I wasn't looking at the cam...
Both in our nest!!!!
I see em..daggone cop...
Looks like Belle is eating and Lib is moving sticks into the wrong place! :) ☺
Aren't they loverly?????
Son John went down to the hospital this morning...Suburban..news crews everywhere...helicopter taking landing on and off the hospital...no water pressure there either...
Lib just flew off...Belle still eating.
Would love to sit and keep watching, but Grandma's Sweet Roll dough is calling...all day affair...will try to pop in when I can! TTFN, as Margy says!!
Wow, Wanda. There must be at least 50 buzzards in the herd there. They probably have troubles getting aloft in cold weather.
I wonder if they have predators. You'd think they would at least be perched on something at a safe height.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Belle is devouring that brunch
Most turkey vultures die as a result of being hit by cars, flying into power lines or other structures, or getting caught in fences or leg-hold traps. Eggs and chicks are sometimes eaten by nest predators such as raccoons. Large owls prey on young and adult birds. Turkey vultures escape a lot of predation by being large birds. They also tend to spend a lot of time soaring in the air, where no predators can reach them. When harassed they will regurgitate their stomach contents of rotten meat, which is usually enough to deter predators because of its putrid smell.
Good morning to Norma and all the other bloggers I missed earlier.
Merry Christmas to everyone...think I'll see if Suzanne got to work today now.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Thanks, Megan. I read something on Wikipedia about buzzards. they had quite a bit of info, but nothing on their defenses or role as prey animals.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Luney made it over the ledge all by himself. OMG!! He is a big boy now.
Incoming!!!
you know she is going to move that stick after she finishes eating
Sharing leftovers...
Love that regurgitating fact, Megan
She just did, Mits.
I have died and gone to heaven, no doubt about it. Lib and Belle, Luney going everywhere!!
something has their attention
Looks like they are watching something...
She's gonna poof
poof Belle
There she went to the right
he is standing proudly by his handiwork
aww he is taking a load off his talons:)
Awww Lib is down in the egg cup
eating now
Luney is plumb tuckered out!! His worldly travels finally got him!! It is so much fun to watch him. Somebody make em keep the cam up!!!! Don't they know who we are?
schools cloing early..Suburban hospital closed to trauma and ambulance service, elective surgery cancelled...
Eagle in the Nest!
Lib still hanging out...
Guess I'd better pee before I get to the hospital tonight... :):)
Really looking around
I heard that!
Chirping!
I sitting here thinking the same thing, Paula....should I, or, shouldn't I..than is the big question;)?????
To flush or not to flush...that is the question...
I say no flush, unless it is an emergency.....good thing I'm over the stomach flu:)
My sound keeps going in and out- missed the chirping..
my sound is a little static too
Musta Poofed while I had 2 phojne calls---got 2 more pics tho I'll put on.
I wouldn't flush....
2 osprey at Cape Coral
Good afternoon Hedgie;

but i get enough for my use.I do
sell some in the summer.We are getting some freezing rain right

Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave
Ok, now, let me see...We have to get some clean water to Helen, pick up Norma and Megan, stop in and see Candy then on to visit with Red (Maybe he will fix us breakfast). Stop in Florida to see Norma's relatives and then on to see Jewell and before we leave Florida, we'll swing by and visit with Bobbi. Sounds like a fun trip to me! :):)
Dave do you do any snow sports? (skiing, snowmobile, ice fishing?)
I did some ice fishing in Michigan and it was fun for a while, but the COLD sensation that you have all around you, while standing on a lake is more than I can take. I like pier fishing in warm weather and catching flounder! Ummm!
Mits - what is in the CC osprey nest...those dark thingys?
don't know will look
almost look like 2 dead birds????
I wonder if they had 2 chicks and they died...they haven't moved.
The odd thing is they don't look like osprey chicks...look like pigeons or something
They don't have chicks yet at CC Osprey nest...first egg last year was Jan 30th....
I posted ? on Hancock forum asking what they thought was in the nest.
Hello again. Back from Dr appointment and all is going well
One very large turkey in the PA woods
Had lunch at Roy Rogers - love their fries & get them about 3 x's a year.
Traffic heavy & slow moving on 70West...
One last trip to grocery store later..
Panda nap now..
BBL
wonder what it could be?????
Look at ZZ in close up.

Jim
Did you send your Christmas card via Xerox to the troops? (http://www.letssaythanks.com/Home.html)
I just did, thinking it might not make it in time, but the software grabbed mine so much faster than usual that I think they are sending them directly to the Mideast and printing them there. There's only a couple for Christmas specifically though.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Done.
Thanks Jim
thanks, Jim....done here too:)
Osprey laying in CC nest.
Where is Deb today?
Thx Jim! I sent ours.
Nevermind...saw she was here earlier, and is now out and about...
Mits, I saw some other pics from yesterday at CC osprey...looks like a shirt in the nest...
Thanks, everyone. I'm sure they will feel better with contact from home on Christmas.
Have a great day... I've got to go do some Christmas stuff now myself.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Sent my card last week, Jim!
Glad you got a good report, Mema Jo!
Helen, the flood made the St. Louis news...Mom couldn't believe the pics!
I was getting some straw for my Nativity display out of a bag that I have under the porch and found an old nest---wren, I think---which I knew was in there from spring...there was an unhatched egg in it, in perfect condition! Petrified or frozen?? Who knows! Will take a pic later and post it on yahoo mail!
Well, dough has doubled....time to start the real work!
Puppies are snoozing...
And here's a note about tonight.
Just a heads-up that we'll be temporarily turning off the webcam tomorrow night (Tues, Dec 23rd) so that we can take Aki and Amaya to their new parents. Of course we will do some goodbye videos before we leave so that everyone has a proper send off.
The cat is back in the woods at PA
Honest the cat was back!
Luney in his mommie's arms!
Whiteout on the Moose Cam...
Great cards to us from Lisa on
BWE & BWO....
Puppies just a got a tree toy!
water pressure is back up....yippee!
must have missed the puppies, it is on the slideshow now.
just got a message from Ceil while I was out....they are about an hour away from Spokane, Washington, they are taking them off the train there and busing them to Portland , Oregon.....she has see 3 eagles so far:)
Mits, they turned it off just as I posted...
Glad you got some water again!
Heading out, catch ya'll later
Kewl...tell her Merry Christmas from us.
you too, Paula, drive carefully:)
hear something by the mic;)
I am home and have 200 pictures to look at, good day for birds!
Howdy Everyone !
Deb - if you have over 200 pictures then we should be in for a great Christmas treat!
Sounds like some great Eagle Watching earlier at OUR Nest.....lucky you guys! I guess I was in bed by then, who knows, time is a blur. Can someone please stop the clock for a little while?
The Fire and Rescue people in Montgomery County did an awesome job, what heroes they are! God Bless the folks who have been so severely up-ended by this disaster.
Hope all is well in all our Eagle Corners
I did see ISS this morning, it was a little pale, but nice nonetheless. And the crescent moon is as beautiful as ever.
Peace, Love, and Prayers xo ♥
I put up one picture so far, it is such a pretty bird. The rest won't be until way later. have to catch up on the comments.
Oh, Incoming, thought I heard a swish !
that would be Eagle Alert !! Maker that Double Eagle Alert !!
Eagles at our nest!
HEY EVERYONE, EAGLE ALERT!!
BEAKING
been watching the eagles....computer was not letting me post:)
Oh, good. I see they were here earlier, too.
Poof goes one.
And there goes Lib, I think.
Verrrrry Nice!
Glad we had some company to watch them....these Eagles shall not escape our attention! Someone is always on the Alert!
Mits - glad your water pressure is back! I have several nieces in Bethesda, will have to check on them this evening from work.....
Night all, gotta to hustle and get ready for work.

Prayers for many strong needs tonight and through the Holiday
Good news about Ceil being almost at her destination, wish she could have taken the train all the way there! xo Give her our love, and Mary Margaret and Jim too, Mits...♥ ♥
have a good night Margy...
eagles BWE
don't know what that is in the nest with it????
some kind of bird for dinner???
It looks like a bird of some sort, but I could be totally wrong. Maybe they will get out of the way.
It is a bird, maybe a crow??
yep, think you are correct...a crow....when I firsr saw it thought it was an eagle wing
Oh Pooh! I was going to print some pics to mail & heard geese. Checked & see I missed the PM Eagle Alert. Did anyone save some pics? I put some on blog from earlier today.
she is picking that bird clean...
H-e-l-l-o!!!!!! Have been so busy today and no time to get on the blog or even check the cam, House is ready and now I am in the big middle of cooking,.
I am so enjoying all the Christmas cards, but I was unable to get them out since I was whisked away to NYC.
Hello, Lolly (That sounds like a show! ☺) Glad to see you're back--guess you had no plane cancelling problems.
guess there will be leftovers at BWE tomorrow....Howdy, Lolly
Looks like I missed more action!
Rolls are done! WHew...what a job...I'm getting too old for this...now I know why my Grams was way ready for me to take over the job 36 yrs. ago!! Think this is the first time I've had to do it alone, tho'!
Glad you've got water, Helen...is it still brown? Margy is right...does MCFD folks did a great job! Kudos to them all...and whoever the chopper crew was--??State Police??
Me too! I was a little worried but Michael assured me all would be well, and so it was. I am still having trouble getting over my "high"!
yes Lynn, they are great people here in Montgomery County....never had any brown water, just barely any water....the break happen a block away from the Cabin John volunteer fire station, and they are the main station in this area that does water rescues.....State Police helicopter and Park Police helicopters were involved
Hi Helen! I am a bit slow. I am on my laptop and trying to get the hang of it!
you will get used to it, Lolly...
puppies on view.....should be leaving soon
Yes, Lynn it is a big job getting food ready for a crowd at Christmas. Michael and Ashley are looking for a new house. He said maybe we could all be together there nexr year. I told him I do not cook Christmas dinner at anyone's home but mine. I can not see Ashley preparing Christmas dinner.
I have not forgotten about sending you the recipe for the coffee cakes.
