Howdy all :-)

First egg for BWE - how exciting! I watched her lay her first egg last year, it was Saturday afternoon, January 26th.

I've been reading the blog, but just haven't felt like chatting. I also have a lot to do at work, and I'll have to take some more time off next week, so I've been busy there. I did get to see our eagles today.

I wanted to update everyone on the educational material that Sandy Burk is working on. I received a CD today from her to review...I think ya'll will be really impressed! I've responded with some minor corrections. I'm not sure when the link on the NCTC website will be available...I'll make sure I let ya'll know.

Mits, can you forward me info on how to donate for Maggie. Thanks.

Hugs to all, and thanks for your care and concern.

Mema Jo said...

Now - wishes can come true, Paula.

We were wishing you were here with us and knew about BWE.. Good to hear from
you. ((hugs))

Mema Jo said...

There were deer on the Okie Bird Cam - OK

Check personal email for a pic....

hedgie said...

I didn't get it, Jo!

hedgie said...

Heading for tub...ankles and feet aching and I'm chilly!! BBL.

paula eagleholic said...

Lolly said...

Hi all! Great to hear from you Paula!!! You have been in all our hearts and prayers.

I was so happy to be on earlier when we THOUGHT Lady BW was looking "eggy". How exciting for the season to have started! Celebrated tonight by have steak dinner with a bottle of wine. Ho!

Got close to 80 today. We got our two projects completed and it is supposed to turn cold tonight. High tomorrow in the mid 40's. Guess I will stay in and clean house. Got my "book" back from the "publisher", and would you believe I found a mistake. I had typed 2008 instead of 2009. Aehhhhh!!!! That is a LOUD scream. LOL

wvgal_dana said...

Paula so so good to see you. (((((Paula)))))) hugs Lady BW is rolling her egg. So happy you got in on her 1st egg. So happy to see you lady. Sounds like your really busy. Nice Michael will be home soon.

wvgal_dana said...

You had a heat wave Lolly !

We got up to 49 that was our heat wave...now heading back down for tomorrow.

Mema Jo said...

Dana Check your email of the deer at the Okie Bird Cam and PLEASE forward it to Lynn
Hedgie - I had only sent to those that I saw on the blog at the time I took it...
Sorry........

Mema Jo said...

Your tomorrow should really be special, Paula. Great to have the family all together.

Lolly - What are you going to do about
the incorrect date? Can you manually correct the 8 to a 9? I can feel your pain!

Mits said...

Paula, you have mail.

Mits said...

poor Megan, feel your pain, sounds like a migraine...rest easy

Mema Jo said...

I think I need a break
Too much excitement all at one time!!
I WILL RETURN SHORTLY

Mits said...

thanks, Margy, special day for "SPECIAL PEOPLE"

wvgal_dana said...

Ok Mema Jo will do.

hedgie said...

I'm back...warm, but no less pain! Oh, well, it is what it is.
Paula, dear, so glad to see you on. Know how hectic this time can be, and to have to worry with work, too, puts an awful lot on your plate. Glad Michael will be back with you in the morning. Hoping that you feel our arms around you.

hedgie said...

Lolly, I bet you were ready to kick yourself!! White-out is a miracle fix!!!

Mits said...

don't forget BWE shuts down for 11 til 3 during the night

Mits said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE..

deb said...

Night, Helen, have fun tomorrow!

magpie said...

Hedgie Really sorry about the very Un-American delivery of the unwelcome nails to your driveway... hope the common criminals will see the injustice of their ways.

Grrrrrrr that kind of act is so cowardly !

hedgie said...

Goodnight, Helen! Have fun tomorrow---don't let anyone pull/push you in. Give Maggie a big hug and kiss from us.

magpie said...

Good Night MITS - prayers that all is wonderful Saturday

..speaking of Good Night, I got to find the pillows soon. 4:30 am comes around kind of early.

So Good to See PAULA on Here, and all the Momsters and Dadsters too! ☺ ♥

Hope the wellness continues to swell for all, Hi Loretta, good to have you back !

Peace, Love, and Prayers xo ♥

Costume Lady said...

Had to chase Dustin to bed so that I can say good night to all of you.

We have had a good day...got some things done that the fridged weather wouldn't allow us to do. Hadn't unloaded Motor Home yet or Winterized it with antifreeze. Done now. I have a ton of clothes to wash.
Spent the evening eating crab legs and Chinese with GeeGee. Her appetite is still very good.

WISHING JO'S FAVORITE "MR. ED" A HAPPY BIRTHDAY in the last few minutes of it:)

Good to have you back, PAULA:)

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL

deb said...

Jo, I forgot the video in the excitement. It is loading now, but Blogger is slow.

Paula, it is good to have you on the blog for a while tonight.

I was hoping for one more egg glimpse tonight, but she seems pretty content in that spot.

Costume Lady said...

Wishing Kevin a successful "PLUNGE"
tomorrow. Helen, put a nice warm blankie on him when he gets out of the water:)
Hugs and Kisses to little SWEET CHEEKS.

deb said...

The first video of the big fish is loaded, there is one more still loading. As slow as blogger is, it probably won't be ready until tomorrow.

Mema Jo said...

Video is great Deb!

Good Night Helen - Stay warm tomorrow &
don't go near the water!

Mema Jo said...

Good Night Everyone
Sure has been a very good day!
Peace to you & yours
Pleasant dreams and restful sleep
Prayers for everyone's needs being said

(((hugs))) ♥

Good Night Maggie ♥

deb said...

Night everyone, I will finish the second video of Belle letting Lib know whose fish it is tomorrow.

hedgie said...

Well, three incoming phone calls later....have probably missed everyone. So, goodnight all. Peace and prayers. Maybe we'll get our own egg tomorrow!

carolinabeachmom said...

Good morning all. Just got up to look at BWE nest and she isn't moving an inch. Our nest is MT tonight :( No Belle sitting in the egg cup yet, and wouldn'5 you know it, the sound is constant on the cam now that there is nothing to watch or listen to.

Well I had better get back to bed before I can't get back to sleep,
Tomorrow is another day.

magpie said...

Well, my heart is skipping a beat! We have an eagle in the nest at NCTC ! ☺ ☺

I was up at 0230 and looked and it was not there then....

magpie said...

I would say this is a Good Sign


there is a Sea Eagle in the nest at Finney's also...Brrrrr

Good Morning Everyone

magpie said...

The wind is blowing pretty hard but she's hunkered down pretty good in the nest, trying to snooze I suppose....☺ (Belle, that is....)

magpie said...

I'm assuming it is Belle, cannot really tell from the view...

magpie said...

Bird's got its eyes open now...

magpie said...

BWE is up now....bird changing positions ☺ ♥ Go Mom !

magpie said...

Sure wish I could stay and watch what happens next at OUR Nest and BWE -
but it is time to get ready for work :(

Great Day Wishes to Everyone !

xo ☺ ♥

wvgal_dana said...

We have an eagle in the nest at NBG. I thought it was there last night. Have to go to forum to see if anything said.

wvgal_dana said...

Darn I can't remember how I took pics last season of NBG.

Belle acts like she is trying to squeeze out an egg.

movin said...

bOY! i crashed right after dinner, and here I am in the middle of the night (out West) working away trying to catch up before I get another urge to crash. Hahaha.

The lady with her first egg at BW is resting quietly ... off center by quite aways again this year. I don't know why she bothers to make an egg cup. She's missed it and ended up near the edge two years in a row.

Well,

**GOOD NIGHT/GOOD**

**MORNING TO YOU ALL**


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

hEY, YAH, my Norfolk pic is no longer black screen, and there is an eagle setting in the nest like she either has an egg, or she's doing the overnight practice session just before laying the first egg.

Thanks, Dana.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

AND, I just restarted our cam, which must have been frozen on here, and THERE IS BELLE!!

She must be getting ready to lay her first egg too!


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

What's peculiar is that even though our cam is tilted approx. 45°, she is setting at an unusual angle at the top of the screen, and she looks almost level in the picture.

She's snoozing away in the freezing wind...


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...


Now Belle is standing at 2 o'clock (this year) and looking up probably in Liberty's direction. It must be almost sunrise back there.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

Good night again....


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle just flew out of nest at NBG.

wvgal_dana said...

I full screened and do not see an egg at NBG.

wvgal_dana said...

Our 2nd eagle just flew into our nest. Both are there now.

movin said...

Liberty just arrived on our nest and they touched beaks briefly.

I guess it "go" for this season.
C(°Ù¿°)D




Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Beaking

movin said...

Dana, do you know how to capture these nest pics ... short of getting video software??



C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

I wonder if this year Mr.BWE will bring food better for his lady in the nest on egg/eggs.

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle at BWE just flew out of nest and I don't see an egg !!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

I have sent pics to Lisa....I don't know if that is full egg or a broken egg???

movin said...

Don't know if he was a new Papa at BW last year or not. Personally, I think it looked like the same one as the year before.

Two years ago the male brought more than enough. Last year could have been a fluke...fish were hard to find in the usual spots, or something.

He seems to have passed the tests of bringing his love food on the BWO nest with "flying colors." So, I'm expecting he will be successful this year. In fact neither chick died last year, and both fledged, so you could say he succeeded last year.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

Looks like a full egg to me, Dana.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

BWE lady is back in nest and on egg !!!

Liberty and Belle may have just had HP...he made is sound.

movin said...

Is that Liberty or Belle back down in the nest cup now??


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

my pic had froze so I don't know if Liberty and Belle HP or not. I feel he wants her to STAY in nest.

wvgal_dana said...

Both of ours still in nest..

I just looked eagle at NBG has returned.

wvgal_dana said...

Jim for ours use still cam

BWE just right click on pic and save or email.

Can't remember for NBG grrrr me.

wvgal_dana said...

There is pic of egg at BWE

wvgal_dana said...

One flew out of our nest.

Eagle at NBG flew out again.

wvgal_dana said...

Ours has not been staying in the egg cup. One was in it earlier but don't know which one.

Eagle at NBG just flew in with stick.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING JIM AND DANA...
Jim, I don't think I have ever seen you up this early...or did you not go to bed yet?

Costume Lady said...

I noticed Lib was working very hard on the egg bowl and Belle was just sitting there, almost in a trance.

wvgal_dana said...

Both eagles gone from our nest.

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Wanda been busy between 3 nest with eagles in them lol

wvgal_dana said...

I get a chance I'll try to send pics of our eagles this am around.

wvgal_dana said...

2nd eagle in nest at NBG

Costume Lady said...

I just read Margy's comment that there was an eagle in our nest at 4:39. That is a GOOD sign:)

wvgal_dana said...

Pics of early visit at our nest sent out don't know if Margy took pic?

Eagles at NBG bringing in a lot of sticks.

Costume Lady said...

Going for coffee. BBL

movin said...

Thanks for the memory jog, Dana. I just tried it on BWE and our nest...works.

I don't think I ever got a way to capture NBG last year, but they take a lot of captures, and I think you can copy those.

Or, maybe I'll get some video capture software this year. Boy, with the economy down, I'm getting offers for new computers from Dell every day, and I just might get one

wvgal_dana said...

Will the POLAR BEAR PLUNGE BE TELEVISED?

movin said...

Hi, Wanda. As I commented earlier. I crashed right after dinner (actually, right after dessert), and then I woke up after 1 A.M., thinking I should do some of the stuff I planned to do last evening.

Still up, but I'm feeling like I'd probably better get some more rest.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

Not sure, but I think that's the male on BWE now.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Both eagles in our nest I think Belle is eating.

WOw- lots off eggcitement this morning:) Won't be long for our eagles, they spend more and more time in the nest.
Hope Helen has a great day with all her family and friends at the Polar Bear Plunge-wish I could be there-but not in the water!
