You're so right, MITS - can almost count the feathers!

T-Bird said...

Me and Buddy have been flaked out. I missed the visit.

Mits said...

almost like you can reach out and pat its head

T-Bird said...

Good to see you Magpie

Mits said...

you can hear them close by, Thelma, must be on a branch

Mits said...

Big Rig Steve is driving into the sunset

T-Bird said...

MITS-I can't get my sound to work. :(

Mits said...

I have to keep refreshing page to get it Thelma...are you sure you have you sound on and up as high as you can get it?

Red said...

almost straight into the sunset too.

Mits said...

yes it is Red

T-Bird said...

Yeah-I've tried the refreshing too.

Mits said...

check you volume buttons, T

Mits said...

I need to put my sunglasses on watching BRS

Mits said...

Margy, moon is pretty tonight

magpie said...

Wow, what happened ?

There seems to be something about NBG that is not friendly with my computer...

Yes, Ditto, T-Bird ! We finally got on here at the same time ☺

Okay, now for another round of

Happy Birthday, Megan ♪♫ ♪ ♫ ♥ ☺ xp

magpie said...

xp - you all know what that is, right? Has something to do with Upper Underwear ☺


Isn't it amazing that no matter where we are, if the skies are clear, we can see the same things?

T-Bird said...

I'm having a beautiful sunset in Bedford to

T-Bird said...

we have an eagle

magpie said...

I think I have to walk away from this %$#)!%%$ machine for a little while. I think it needs a rest.

"See" you all later...

xo ☺

magpie said...

Well, forget that! It's that Southern Hospitality brings the Bird in again !

Mits said...

she does seem jumpy tonight.

T-Bird said...

later Magpie

Mits said...

Thelma is our very own Eagle Whisperer

magpie said...

It's nearly impossible to walk away from an Eagle...

T-Bird said...

I know I could be listening to Liberty outside the nest right now. If only...

T-Bird said...

I know I could be listening to Liberty outside the nest right now. If only...

T-Bird said...

screwy-I didn't mean to dido

magpie said...

Mason Update
(part of it:)

News from Bryn Mawr. Nakeya, the PT, had Mason standing, (they use a frame to help) straight up! He was supporting himself and they freaked a bit because they didn't realize how tall he is. He's usually hunched over a bit. Mason also let out a nice clear " Hello".

T-Bird said...

It sure is Magpie

magpie said...

I think Belle (?) is gazing in the direction of Moon and Venus ☺

wvgal_dana said...

Margy when I brought up NBG it messed up my computer also. Has never done that before.

wvgal_dana said...

She is certainly acting different. Maybe tonight is the night she stays in nest.

wvgal_dana said...

GREAT WAY TO GO MASON !!

Where did Red go? He usually tells us he is leaving or did I miss that comment?

hedgie said...

Let's hope so, Dana.
Margy, J.R.'s obit is up on Brown's website.

www.brownfuneralhomeswv.com

Mits said...

there go the geese

magpie said...

Okay - Hedgie, Thanks...It's going to be pages and pages and pages of tributes, no doubt.

Dana - I'll get back to you about those 911 license plates...

Red said...

Red is here lurking. lol

T-Bird said...

I'm going to have to sign off for a bit. I hate to... A friend has come to visit. Thanks for the company my fine eagle momsters and dadsters.

wvgal_dana said...

Maybe all that talk of tonics and bourbon he took at sniff of the bottle and konked out lol

magpie said...

Yes, MITS maybe the Bird is in for the night....it's going to be a marathon from here on out when those eggs start showing up !

wvgal_dana said...

Ease dropping again huh Red lol

magpie said...

Quickest way for me to refresh is to switch to still cam off the live cam page, and then back to live cam off the still cam page, that way if there is a good screen grab I can accomlish both things at once.

wvgal_dana said...

Take care Thelma

magpie said...

Can someone orient me again: the lights we see off to the right, where on the property are those lights coming from? I had been thinking that was the way to the River...but that could not be correct

Mits said...

PAULA, is the expert on that, Margy

wvgal_dana said...

Turning eggs at BWE

wvgal_dana said...

Has anyone heard if Pauleo is better?

magpie said...

Do you think the bird is Belle or Liberty?

I know Paula has told us, and told us, and told us, bless her patient soul....I should just print it out and put it into my ever-growing NCTC folder... ☺ thanks MITS....I'll ask her again.

wvgal_dana said...

I say it is Belle JMO but what do I know "nothing" .....was only going by her toenails are painted lol

Mits said...

from the looks of the size, Margy, I'm just guessing it is Belle, and I don't think if it was Lib he would stay in the nest this long at night, unless he was incubating or taking care of the checks

Mits said...

that has been one long sundown for BRS, hasn't it Red?

wvgal_dana said...

bbl dinner time

Let me know if a larger eagle comes in the nest. If so then you know the one there now is Lib.

Red said...

Out TV weatherman is saying we will have a few inches of snow on Monday. I don't have much faith in that yet. Normally they have problems forcasting 1 day ahead. lol

Red said...

Yes Mits. I think he must be past Indianapolis now since he is facing the sun.

hedgie said...

Margy, heard earlier that Mike Johnston, with CTPD, has a recurrence of his brain cancer. Do you know him, or of him? He had been on desk duty after his treatment was completed.

Mits said...

you will have to take pics for us, Red.....usually in the mid-Atlantic region our biggest snowstorms come from the moisture coming up from the south...so make sure it passes to you east and keeps going

hedgie said...

As long as he keeps heading due west, guess Big Rig Steve will have sunset for a couple of hours!!

Red said...

BRS is stopping again.

hedgie said...

Time for dinner. BBL.

magpie said...

I would think Belle too...keeping the home fires burning. It sure looks like it could be an all-nighter.

Time to make a visit to neighbor lady. Then, to label those pictures and get them to Wanda this week-end !

Breakfast at Betty's with out of town friends was canceled due to lady's illness...Sigh...so visit for now is postponed until Saturday. What irony, after all these years of not seeing these folks. Don't think her system will manage Bacon tomorrow either.

Take care, see you Eagle ♀ and ♂ folks later on.

xo

Mema Jo said...

Night vision isn't the best for ID'ing
our Eagle in the Egg Well. Only thing I
can say for sure that if there is an egg
in the morning - we'll know it was our
Belle.
I think our first egg is going to be on
its way soon.... WHOO HOO!

magpie said...

It will a nice surprise for Paula if she gets to check the Nest tonight ☺

Mits said...

looks like he might be bedding down for the night

Mits said...

she is chortling quite a bit

Mits said...

I think we have been to this truck stop before....lol

Mits said...

it looks like she is keeping her butt over the nest cup, and leaning forward

deb said...

Darn, I was all excited and thought, 266 comments, eagle in the nest, there must be an egg. I see we are still waiting.

Mema Jo said...

If it is Belle, I hope she turns and has her head up closer to the barrier on the edge of the nest. Seems as though the egg well is a bit closer to the edge of
the nest this year.

We Want a mEGGan

Mits said...

wonder how long the process takes and if any experts really know?

Mema Jo said...

Oh Deb with anticipation I will say that
it could be yet today (5hr24min to go) or tomorrow or even Feb 1! We were never sure about last year if it were Feb 1 or 2 or 3 since our cam was down.
It is just a matter of one of us looking at just the right time that we'll know.

deb said...

If I remember right from last year we should see a slight rocking motion once she starts getting serious. I'll do some searching.

Mits said...

that does ring a bell, Deb

Mema Jo said...

I know it must be vehicle's lights BUT
at first my thought was - a flashlight -
Magpie - don't climb that tree!! lol

Red said...

BRS is in Terra Haute, In May be stopping for the night.

Red said...

I know they go through a rocking motion at the egg is expelled. Loraine at Kent has described it many times. And yes they are exhausted afterwards too.

Mema Jo said...

DEB & MITS - after the rocking motion she
will stand.... if we're lucky we will be
able to see the egg -They usually stand in order for the egg shell to harden.But sometimes when you can't see the egg, you
will need to wait until we see the egg
being rolled - her head would be down under her breast.. Of course they have
been times you don't get a clear view
until Belle & Lib would make a switch..

Mits said...

poof

Mema Jo said...

WHERE DID THAT EAGLE GO?

ANTICIPATION

Mema Jo said...

Well I guess our Night Watchers can
take a break!

Mits said...

bummers....

Mema Jo said...

The eagle had looked upward and then off
to the right & POOF!

lol Maybe it was Lib keeping the egg well warm for Belle & she will be coming
in around 3am....

Mits said...

buck at PA

Mits said...

now doe at salt lick

Mema Jo said...

Going to brew a cup of coffee!
BRB

Promise

Mits said...

now buck at regular site

Mits said...

ok to fast for me they are back and forth at break neck speed on that site

Mits said...

well I will have to read about it, I rarely get up and about at night

magpie said...

I heard a loud noise at the mic and she looked up then was outta there like a rocket !

Mema Jo said...


MASON NEWS


I had just bee over lighting candles for him - I wish to thank our regular
candle lighters Helen, Deb, and Jim

Mits said...

what a miracle unfolding right before our eyes:)

Mits said...

eagle at Caltrans doing nestorations

Mits said...

that cam has beautiful clear color

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

Good evening Did i hear that someone is in terre haute? I live
six miles south. I went outside
this evening and with the cold
weather you can see the steem coming off the power plant just
west,I took a photo and will post
it.

Indiana Nesting eagles----Dave

Mits said...

step away from the mic, Eagles

Mema Jo said...

Eagle just sitting there watching all the cars/trucks go by at Caltrans.

Red said...

Gotta go find dinner. I'm batching it this weekend. Mrs. Red is in Birmingham at a company meeting.

Mema Jo said...

Good Evening Dave. When things slow down at the cams we always are looking for other things to watch. Red and Mits got us started watching BigRigTravels and our driver is now in Cincinnati, OH & is headed to Denver, CO. His cam is right up front and we fly down the highways and go into truck stops!

NatureNut said...

Evening Everyone and
♫♪♪Megan, Happy Birthday to You!!♪♪♫ Hope you had a Great Day.

Saw sliver moon & Venus tonight.I see we do not have an eagle spending the night yet, but read one was there at 3:30 AM!Great eyes to be flying that early!
Awaiting my dinner to get done in the oven. Got home late. BBL

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

WOW That is cool

Dave

NatureNut said...

Hold the Phone. I do see an eagle on still cam---white head and all, but nothing on Live???!!! I just refreshed Live and someone is REALLY there!!!!

Mema Jo said...

EAGLE ALERT IN OUR NEST

Mema Jo said...

Our live feed is driving me mad!!!
Glad you see what I see Loretta!!!

I also had nothing on my cam but I
actually opened another window & there
was our eagle.....

Can't be certain which eagle it is.
Earlier the eagle in the egg well looked
larger than this one....... oh well!

Think we best start taking a pic each time one is in the nest - then when it is MT and then when one is there again.
Maybe we can do comparisons OR
just WAIT FOR AN EGG!

Mema Jo said...

That could very well be the 'v' for which Paula looks.

Mema Jo said...

I emailed a few to REFRESH their cam pic

Mema Jo said...

If the head gets tucked under the wing
that will be a sure sign the eagle is
spending the night. And to me that would mean BELLE

deb said...

Since the eagle is facing us, it is a little harder to see the size, don't you think?

Mema Jo said...

Yes and also seems to be sitting 'down' in the egg well more.

I think our eggs came with the dawn's early light. (Could be totally wrong)
Still, like the last time, very interested in looking upward!!!

Mits said...

okie dokie, could hear my chimes going off in hear, so knew something was going on, was eating dinner.

Mits said...

usually by this time of the night the sound stays on.....not doing that tonight:(

Mema Jo said...

WHOA! Gal! Settle down now!

Mema Jo said...

Thanks! Was just going to ask if any of you had sound - I don't. When I brought up the new window I did for a short time.

Mits said...

stay, girl, stay.

Mits said...

sound is just useless.

Mema Jo said...

You see her left leg..

Think we should zoom in.

Mema Jo said...

Deb are you recording

Oh My Goodness

What do you think

Mits said...

sometimes when I zoom in it really freezes the cam up

Mema Jo said...

YOU THINK SHE HAS SOMETHING UNDER THERE THAT SHE ISN"T SHOWING US???

We just could have a mEEGan...

Mits said...

infra red light is getting in the way

deb said...

I am recording, but it keeps freezing up on me. It won't be very good.

Mema Jo said...

SEE THAT WADDLE WADDLE

or as Paula would correct me as say

it's a WIGGLE WIGGLE

Mits said...

if it happened, it might have happened when you told her to settle down, Jo

Mema Jo said...

Usually they will call their mate..
I know - no sound

Mits said...

there was a waddle

Mits said...

I think he is up above...

Mema Jo said...

I keep watching the leaves off to the left of the nest to see that they have movement so I know it hasn't frozen.

I would suggest that instead of hitting the F5 refresh - open a new window & bring up the site.... guess that wouldn't help, Deb, it you're recording.

NatureNut said...

Saw a good side view of eagle & then almost looked like tenting. Head is back for nitey-nite, so guess she was just spreading wing a little to bury nose.
I tried to get pop-up & it was a no show so clicked it off and ALL of IE closed!
Gotta put cams back up. I have little & then no sound too.

deb said...

Every once in awhile if nothing has happened, I stop delete what I have recorded and start over. Then I refresh, I have 2 pop ups open.

Mema Jo said...

I just put up a new window - sound of the wind is there...

deb said...

My sound is pretty good, not the best but better than nothing. I hear barking sounds and wind.

NatureNut said...

Looks like head is not back anymore.

Mema Jo said...

I have 2 windows opens
One with Live Feed and the
other with Still Cam (in case I get a pic with date & time)
Wind is still on my live feed still has wind sound......

Mema Jo said...

Loretta I can't tell if her head is
tucked or hanging over the edge! lol

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

Hello again; I posted a photo of
the power plant that i can see
that is west of me,With the cold
weather you can see the steem.The
eagles spend time there and the
nest is just south east of there.

Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave

wvgal_dana said...

Did anyone besides me hear a gunshot???

hedgie said...

Pretty much in the same spot as last night....fingers, toes crossed for a nighttime surprise!!

Mema Jo said...

Ho Ho! you answered me before I asked about her head!

Well, Momster Bloggers! I am certain it
is BELLE! And I'll bet my last dollar
there is a beautiful egg under her.

What the h**% is that noise?
Sure did get her attention! and it wasn't
barking

wvgal_dana said...

I had just opened another live cam of our nest. That was a gunshot Mema Jo. Deer season is over!!!

Mits said...

I think her head has plenty of room Jo, before it is over the side, think this cam makes things look distorted at times

Mema Jo said...

Just refreshed and read back on comments

Yes, Dana I thought it was 2 gunshots I heard That is when Belle's head went UP.
BUT you notice that she isn't leaving
her egg well - that is a good sign.

deb said...

I thought there were two shots!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, if I was a betting person, I would bet that we will have an egg by morning!

Mits said...

if we don't already have one, Sharon:)

deb said...

I'll take that bet, too, Sharon.

Mema Jo said...

I don't have any sound now & I did refresh and the leaves are moving!

deb said...

Pretty sunset to go with your steam, Dave!

wvgal_dana said...

I didn't see her raise up some so the egg could harden. Like it was said with the infra red light and the cam makes things look funny. Not actual...

magpie said...

...Could be Poachers....
:(

Okay - I am pretty excited about all this.....just was over going through Pill Drama with the neighbor, new prescriptions are mostly half doses of what she had before....what happened to competence in the work place ?

Eggs, I want Eggs !

Red said...

I don't think egg laying is a quick process. Sometimes take an hour of rocking. She may lay one tonight but don't think one is there yet.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I don't think she is to the left far enough to be sitting on an egg.

wvgal_dana said...

Does anyone have leaves blowing??? Even when I refresh I get a frozen pic....grrrrr

magpie said...

Mema: I need to go to YOUR Eye doctor, I read Egg in the Egg Well... not EAGLE in the egg well..I am about in heart failure!

I need to take your advice to Belle: Settle Down !

Mema Jo said...

She did raise up like an egg could harden Look up at 7:54 She was like
standing up.......

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Leaves aren't blowing much but I see twinkling lights just above her head.

magpie said...

You can tell I am a NEWBIE !!

Mits said...

lights just went by

Red said...

my cam is not frozen. Just saw car lights go by.

wvgal_dana said...

I completely took cam down and opened back up seen the bleaking lights. Her head just moved.

floralgirl said...

COOL!!! an eagle in the nest -any sign of an egg? Guess I'll have to do some reading, but I got to eat some cake first..

wvgal_dana said...

ANOTHER GUN SHOT !!!! GRRRRRRRR

Mema Jo said...

DANA Open a whole new window instead of hitting the refresh...

I just opened the site again and got some sound and leaves blowing....
Did anyone with sound hear
another shot?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

How can you look back on this player?

wvgal_dana said...

MARGY CALL 911 !!!!

Red said...

Marie is a pretty good cook. Beef tips and mushroom gravey of taters. Didn't care much for her green beans though. Like Cracker Barrel's green beans better.

NatureNut said...

Heard a BANG. Another. Illega at night I think if those are shots.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And I did hear what sounded like a shot.

wvgal_dana said...

Yes did that Mema Jo read above your comment

floralgirl said...

#@*#@*($#@#@#- my cam keeps freezing... I want constant sound..

glo said...

So I see we are in Labor and Delivery mode here tonight :)...well cool. And the crummy weather has passed over right?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, they surely know how to get our undivided attention, huh?

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Glo we think we are in the delivery room. Except we have an idiot out there illegally hunting. Shooting off shotgun....grrr

hedgie said...

Wonder if gunshots could be coon-hunters?? Don't know if there is a "season" for them or not....any idea, Margy?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Glo, I was just wondering where you were!

Mema Jo said...

I remember watching the Kent eagle Starr
She was just sitting there - raised up -
stood there a few minutes - & the egg
was there. Just like an old pro.
I think our sign is staying in the nest at night to know start watching!

Sharon - I think that the egg well is
a little off to the left this year then
last - Could be wrong.

I just am praying that we got the
mEGGan egg tonight!

floralgirl said...

I just blew out my candles- hmmm.. what did I wish for???

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I would settle for constant video.

Mits said...

that would be a nice present, Jo, at least one of us would then remember EGGxactly...when it was laid

Mits said...

hmmm, live stream video, what a concept!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I bet I know eggsactly what you wished for!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Oh wow, great minds . . .

wvgal_dana said...

Well my thought is that Belle and Liberty have been coming back to this nest. So this certainly wouldn't be the first time they have heard shotguns. So I'm at ease since I thought about that part. SHE IS GONE !!

glo said...

oh oh I think she just left the nest :(

Mits said...

poof

deb said...

Poof, with another shot going off.

Mits said...

is that an EGG

floralgirl said...

IS that an egg???

Mema Jo said...

Hello Glo! Is Dex right there with you?
Might just be our Big Night.

Cam is miserably freezing
Even when you refresh.....

I just might call main number at NCTC
and hope a guard answers I want them to
go and protect our Sycamore tree!

Mits said...

sure does look like one

hedgie said...

Where'd she go??? No egg, that's for sure. Come back, Belle!!

deb said...

I bet the word got out about a possible egg and lots of people are watching. That would make the cam freeze up.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I don't think that is an egg.

glo said...

Call them MeMa Jo They know we are crazy about those birds and security well it has to include that tree.

And yes Dex is right here and continues to feel better each day. Brought me a toy today for the first time in nearly a week. Anyone who has met him knows he always greets everyone with a toy.

Mema Jo said...

What is going on
Still cam no eagle
Live Feed still there (must be frozen)

BOO HOO
BOO HOO

:( Gotta go refresh

hedgie said...

Megan, did you have to cook your own dinner and bake your cake, or did the family treat you???

Mits said...

I have no eagle on live feed

glo said...

No I don't think its an egg either. Zoomed in a couple of times.

Mema Jo said...

ANTICIPATION GOES ON & ON

No mEGGan Egg and only 3hrs 13 mins left

glo said...

See some leaves blowing on mine and hear the wind at the moment. I don't even want to hear gunshots :(

magpie said...

Mema - I was just going to send you an email about calling the guard shack! But I didn't get to it...they might need to be made aware if for some reason they would not be hearing it themselves.

DNR Calendar says this: For Feb 28
Hunting and/or trapping season end for bobcat, racoon, fox, rabbit, hare and grouse. But I think only raccoon hunting is at night time.
This is not very specific but is all I can find on short notice.

deb said...

I don't think she would leave an egg, unless the shot scared her that much.

wvgal_dana said...

I zoomed in and look at picture I took. Does not look like an egg to me.

Glo so glad Dex is feeling better ( :
