So, I just missed them....

Wanda - you can send to Lisa, right?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

They did finally close school this morning! Concord University is on inclement weather but I don't think I want Andrew driving this morning. May have to take him. School is about 20 miles away on a winding road.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Yep, magpie, you sure did! Sorry! But they will be back.

magpie said...

Congratulations BWE !! ♥ ♥

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Panda in the snow at NZ this morning. Both eagles in Norfolk!

Top Notch!

magpie said...

magpie said...

One Eagle at BWO - has his or her head down....

magpie said...

Saying prayers of thanks maybe ☺

ceil said...

Good morning Margy, Megan, Sissy and Red.
Great news about BWE.
Saw ours standing around looking at the egg cup.
Prayers for all the animals having problems. After our last dog died I said no more. Could not take the hard ache.
Have a good day and be careful. Snowed here. Hope that is all love it to come and go.

Mits said...

GOOD SNOWY TUESDAY EVERYONE:)

ceil said...

wvgal_dana said...

I'm hoping Wanda is off busy sending her pic to Lisa and the Eaglet Page ! ☺

Mits said...

so happy for Blackwater......:)

Costume Lady said...

Margy...yes, I sent the photos to Lisa:) Our season is really begining to get exciting. Will never get any work done! I could do my housework in the middle of the night and watch nests all day. Maybe take a panda nap on the keyboard;)

Costume Lady said...

'Puter froze on me...had to reboot. I think I overwhelmed it with too many pop-ups!

magpie said...

Good Wanda !
How about the Eaglet page too...I see Suzanne made it to work..I was hoping not, for her sake...

magpie said...

It's snowing at the Finney nest, you can actually see the flakes.
No birds, though.

Mits said...

snowy Giant Pandas on view....they LOVE THE SNOW:)

magpie said...

Let me re-phrase that!

I was hoping that Suzanne would not have had to go to work !


I'm certainly glad she made it there safely !

Lisa said...

Hi all! Thanks for the photos! So glad to see two eggs this morning.

Also glad to see the NZ pandas get their snow -- more like their natural environment.

Have a good one!

ceil said...

Lisa has a picture of the eggs and mom looking at the egg.
Saw the pandas. Pretty in the snow.

magpie said...

I just saw a minute or two ago, the one egg partly visible and the talons close by...

Mits said...

CONGRATS, LISA:)

magpie said...

Snowing hard at Finney's -

ceil said...

Looks like it might be snowing at BWE now...kind of flaky looking on one of the birds, and I missed the egg eggsposure, did the parents switch places?
And I can't see the Pandas in the Snow :(

Costume Lady said...

I posted the BWE photos on the Eaglet Group's page, but they ended up in nowhere land...Other Eagles or something like that. I find it sooo much easier to post to my blog. Forgive me for my shortcomings...I can only do a few things right;)

Mits said...

YEP, MARGY, snowy eagle at BWE

magpie said...

Maybe you want to start a new album, Wanda...?

I guess I meant the Momsters email eaglet page....I might be able to cut and paste it over, want me to try ?

magpie said...

Hey Costume Lady, don't you talk about our friend that way! You do a bunch of things Very Wright

Mema Jo said...

Well it's a snowy Tuesday Good Morning but it looks like the eggs are being kept warm & dry at BWE!

Need to read thru some comments from earlier -

BRB

magpie said...

Sissy, oh Sissy...
I am waiting for your words to come true..."They will be back...."

magpie said...

Wanda! I spend an inordinate amount of time at this computer, but keep rationalizing that it is furthering my education! And I don't think I am going to change my habits anytime soon, especially now! ☺

Mits said...

PA PIX is back on, Margy

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

That eagle at BWE is covered in snow. Bless its heart!!

Red said...

I think I found where Spidey went.

Spidey

magpie said...

Great close up of Eagle on branch at Norfolk...

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

We are getting a slushy rain here right now. Temp is 36 degrees.

Mits said...

hope spidey stays there, Red

magpie said...

Thanks MITS -
Looks like some new fluff/straw at BWE.
My computer is in overdrive and acting pretty frosty right now.
Time for a thawing out..

NatureNut said...

Lovely Snowy TU in Eagleland Everywhere!! ☺ ☺
All tho I may not be able to leave here, it was worth the trip! Mr. Eagle was sitting and posing at the top of a tree in front of the nest tree!!!Was there for a long time, as others saw him too!
Surprise, surprise---I read BWE has TWO eggs!!!
BBL--filling up bird feeders while I can.

magpie said...

White out at Finney's !

ceil said...

Wanda you are great. Better than I can do. Tried to take pictures a while back. Lord knows where they went. One day they will be back.

Mits said...

wow...NBG, will be awesome to watch with that close-up

Mits said...

really snowing hard at Finland nest

Red said...

Temperature here now is 53°. 85 miles north in Nashville it's 32° and freezing rain. I believe there's a cold front between us. lol

ceil said...

Red my neighbor had a tarantula. She was very upset when it died. Her son had a snake that got out of the cage. It has never been found. I expect it to show up in my basement one of these days.

Costume Lady said...

Margy, you may do anything you wish with the BWE photos. I tried to make a new album, but Eaglet Cop wouldn't let me...that's why they ended up where they are. That site has always frustrated me.

wvgal_dana said...

Rolling panda in snow "Oh I just love the snow" !!

Mits said...

Mits I noticed the flamingo cam. Love to watch them with the steam coming up. Norma will be disappointed.
Where is Norma? Hope her computer is okay. Might have to send out a silver alert on her.

ceil said...

Going out to sweep snow. BBL

Red said...

Found an interesting video about sled dogs and polar bears.

Click Here

wvgal_dana said...

Up the tree Tia I guess it's him goes

Mits said...

thought Norma was having an IT person come yesterday???

wvgal_dana said...

And down the tree to more snowy adventures our wonderful panda goes.

hedgie said...

Happy (??) snowy morning.
Finney looks like it's having snow fog!
Great news at BWE...pretty eggs!
Margy, when do you have to venture out w/ your neighbor? Be careful!
Suz made it to work safely, but is getting ready to leave now before it gets any worse. She's staying home tomorrow.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

OMG, Tai is having a blast in this snow!!

wvgal_dana said...

Oh where Oh where can our Norma be
I miss her smiling comments, she such a pleasant lady. She brightens up my day for me. Oh where Oh where can Norma be.

She would be absolutely talking about the "IMP" Tia in the snow.

Norma Norma come back to the blog. Use another computer and come back to me. You have to see your precious "Little Imp" rolling in the snow.

Mits said...

Red, that was an awesome clip.

deb said...

wvgal_dana said...

Wow ! the sounds of her chomping on that fish ... awesome..

Good Morning Deb, Mema Jo and all that came in.

Sounded like someone tearing leather.

NatureNut: Hope to see pictures or YOUR MR. EAGLE Later on....whenever you get home!

deb said...

Eagles calling in Maine.

wvgal_dana said...

Zoo cam went black

wvgal_dana said...

magpie said...

We got a pretty full house here, missing a few..
Paula, Norma, Jim, Sharon...and several others...

We have to keep hollering for them!

wvgal_dana said...

Got my rolly poley Tia back and he is a scream of laughter.

hedgie said...

EAGLE ALERT!

hedgie said...

Okay, so I'm late!! Was reading emails...
Red, did not watch your clip...I'm arachnaphobic....'nuf said!

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

hedgie said...

Paula may be at the vet.
Hope Norma hasn't lost power or internet!
Glo...keep us posted on Dex...and Megan on your doggie!

Costume Lady said...

The last time I tried to post a photo on the Eaglet's Albums, I ended up puttin on a photo of my grandaughter and her boyfriend...it was supposed to be of one of our nests. I haven't tried since. When I "Browse", I can't see the photo, only a number. So, "what you get, is what you see"?? LOL

Costume Lady said...

RED and CEIL....ROFLMBO!!

hedgie said...

Thanks for posting the obit, Mits. I was just getting ready to go to the Post site.

Costume Lady said...

Dana, I was thinking the same thing. One less thing we have to worry about...(no eggs, here, yet)

magpie said...

Thanks, MITS<
for posting the obituary for Mrs. Bartos

Good time to join in prayer for all our friends, families and pets in need....and ourselves too of course... xo

hedgie said...

Been watching the birds...the cards, junco's and nuthatches are just having a ball in the snow.

Mema Jo said...

Thank you Mits for posting that for us from the Post.

I hope that if that is Belle that she is just keeping the egg well dry and not putting something in it!

BWE getting snow covered.....

hedgie said...

MT NEST AGAIN...think I'll go make some phone calls and finish the papers.

magpie said...

sounded like a parachute opening up !

Think they are still close.
Time to go clean the car off and try to head out to store.

Sharon ! I did notice that you are here ! ☺ ☺ ♥

xo TTFN

magpie said...

Wow, just before signing off, I treated myself to a double-click on Deb's Snowy Owls from yesterday....Love the new pictures too, DEB, especially that pheasant.

xo Bye

floralgirl said...

Oh, thank you Helen, I'll take that Bonaire forecast!!
Hello all:)
Lots of eggcitement this am with that 2nd egg at BWE.
I had to go ut to the bank- just got back. The back roads are awful-very slippery and our road into town is still snow covered- main roads are messy, but I saw lots of plow and salt trucks, so if you have to go out, drive slow, if you can stay home, DO! Only problem I had was several 4 wheel drive and pickup truck drivers who believe they can go the usual speed and either try to push you along or out of their way...

Mits said...

yes, Megan, hate those idiots, they are the ones causing the accidents, drive like it is sunny and 80°.

magpie said...

Megan - will you be able to make it to the Doggy Doctor's?
Been thinking about that....

Mits said...

there is a good video of Mei's AI on the panda page.

floralgirl said...

Not today, Margy, I gotta wait for funds to be available, I just deposited check, and I'm not going back out in this- so I'm gonna see if I can make him an appt. for Thursday.

Mits said...

looks like no one showed up for the 10 til 1 panda cam shift, unless the zoo is closed, will have to check

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Margy for that "Special Time Of Prayer".

Mits said...

yep, zoo is closed:(

magpie said...

Okay, Megan......hope it works out okay...

Sissy kept saying the birds would be back, and they finally were, so I am sure they will make up for lost time with you ! ♥

Okay, now the car...

Mits said...

Suzanne has left for today and will not be in tomorrow.

movin said...



**GOOD MOrNING**

**eVERYBODY**


lOOKS like you are getting some wintery weather this morning.



C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

Mits said...

eagles very close by..

Lolly said...

Good morning!!!! Have been reading through the blog....two eggs. WOW! And snow on our nest! Brrrrrr!! It is 32 here and wet, temp is supposed to drop. Laurel just called and she and the boys are home. They are an hour north (the far frozen north!) LOL There really is a difference in our weather. She is icy and in the upper 20's. Lots of times she gets snow while we do not.

Mits said...

WEATHER NOTE FROM LISA....BWE AND O

Weather note: They're calling for nasty weather over the next couple days; this might affect our cam equipment and image refreshes.

Lolly said...

Where is Norma??? We miss her, hope she gets her computer problems cleared up. I know she is anxious as well, more than ready to get back on.

floralgirl said...

Hello Jim and Lolly:) I was also wondering about Norma, wish she wasn't so far from me, I would go look at her computer.

NatureNut said...

Just saw a male rufous-sided towhee. Hope he comes back so I can get a pic.

Just heard that a golden eagle was recently seen in this area!!!

Mits said...

eagles sound like they are barking at each other

Mits said...

really breezy at LW today

NatureNut said...

Just got chance to check our nest----one big bird still there!!! ☺

NatureNut said...

No bird was on Stillcam, so I refreshed & got nothing. Maybe I just saw the non-snowy brown spot--DUH

Mema Jo said...

Almost time for a 'shake off' by the BWE

Mits said...

was wondering what you were seeing, Loretta?

floralgirl said...

Maybe it was the abominable snowman

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I was wondering that too, Loretta.

floralgirl said...

Got a break in the snow here right now, looks like it's snowing hard at BW.

Mema Jo said...


Pelican Harbor Cam


Check this out - noisy!!

Mema Jo said...

WHOA! The abominable snowman ate all the bacon!!!

Snow has also taken a break here in the valley.

West End nest has a beautiful eagle sitting there in the wind........

Mema Jo said...

Looks like BWE did a shake off or a
switch - I missed it as I was on the
islands in CA........

Up early means early lunch

BBL

floralgirl said...

Ha ha-actually I ate the bacon- snowman was too late!!
Looking at the regional radar, it looks like some of the sleet and snow may go under us unless the storm shifts.

Mits said...

those birds at PH, better look out

Mits said...

bacon all gone:(

Mits said...

eagle was not in the nest at WE, but in the background and had something large in its talons when it flew off

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle "want to be's" at PH

Lolly said...

Left for a little while, Jack called me to breakfast. Yes, I know, I am spoiled. Had eggs, grits, bacon, sausage and waffles. Whoa! That should hold me to supper time! Diet starts next week. I am committed!!:(

Mits said...

NZ PANDAS ARE INSIDE

floralgirl said...

Whoa- I want to have breakfast at Lolly's house!!(except hold the grits)

Lolly said...

Jack went to the grocery store before the ice sets in...guess he got hungry as he came home and started swinging pots and pans.!

Lolly said...

Oh, but the buttered grits are sooo good!

Mits said...

I'll take your grits, Megan:)

Lolly said...

Eagle on the nest at Norfolk!

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Mema Jo Eagle flew back in with long branch to put in nest. Trying to work it in at WE.

Mits said...

just hopped down to the branch.

hedgie said...

Red, couldn't get anything on the polar bear/eskimo dog link--ads, but no video!

Mits said...

cleaning its beak

floralgirl said...

well, maybe I'll try them-I've never had them- but probably I'll just give them to Mits.
I just read that Citigroup was told by the WH- no way they can buy that new jet since we just bailed their butts out- so our plane trip is off..

wvgal_dana said...

Other eagle flew into WE couple of seconds ago. Blogger froze. Wiggle down into nest cup to get it just right.

Lolly said...

Now Megan! I can not believe you said hold the grits and you have never tried them! Jack had to intoduce me to grits...he is a GA boy. I love them now.

Mits said...

what were they thinking...duh!!!

Mits said...

my good friend from Vermont thinks grits are the greatest...lots of butter...yummy..I had a banana for breakfast:(

wvgal_dana said...

Oh that was beautiful. WE the one eagle left. Just glided back in with branch. Awesome...Leaving again probably for more nesting materials. It is beautiful watching them fly in and out.

Mits said...

Deb you have mail.

Mits said...

ok never mind, Deb was just testing it

Red said...

Hedgie, you might need Adobe Flash player. You can download and install it Here

Red said...

I'm born and raised in Alabama but I never had grits as a child. My mama's thing was oatmeal. I do like grits but have to have lots of butter, salt and pepper.

Lolly said...

I fix a fantastic dish that has sausage severed on top of parmesan cheese grits. It is sooo good.

Mits said...

it is snowing down in OCEAN CITY MARYLAND:), think they have had more snow, then we have had so far this year

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all.

Doggie is medicated...roads are clearing...2 eggs at BWE...all is well.

Lolly said...

Been to looks at Deb's snowy owl pictures. Fantastic! You can imagine the excitement when they first saw him. Wow!

hedgie said...

Red, I do have Adobe flashplayer. Will try again after lunch, and see what happens.
Paula, glad your doggie is getting treatment!
I don't like grits, either, gang! But the rest of your breakfast sounds great, Lolly. Mits, the banana has lots of good properties...you did see my email on them, didn't you?

Mits said...

hello, Paula...glad doggie has meds

Lolly said...

I was thinking it was a long time to sit on those eggs when I remembered a friend of my DIL. They dismissed her from the hospital Monday. She is 33 weeks pregnant with twins, and she has been in the hospital in bed since 21 weeks. Can you imagine?! They dismissed her because if the babies come now they are big enough. (Hopefully!)

deb said...

Lolly, I think my pick-up was 20' off the ground, we were so excited!

My e-mail address has changed for future reference.

Eagle!

hedgie said...

Whoops, Helen...hadn't sent it yet. Check momsters yahoo mail!! It's there now...or should be momentarily!

deb said...

Back to one eagle.

Mits said...

crunch.....

Lolly said...

Ok, getting sleepy sitting here. Gotta get up and move around. Have a great day everyon and I will be checking in now and then. Sure not going outside today!

floralgirl said...

Cam is freezing up big time for me-

Mits said...

wow, Lynn, great info on the banana

Mits said...

Lolly, go eat a banana

Red said...

Marie just cooked me a nice lunch. Beef and brocolli with sauce over rice

Mits said...

loud take-off

Red said...

Lord Blackwater is stiiing on the Osprey box looking lonely.

deb said...

I wonder if they took Norma's computer in to work on it.

Red said...

I'm thinking they did take Normas puter.

Mits said...

I was thinking the same thing, Lolly, guess we will hear from her sometime in April;)

Mits said...

SPLIT COMING UP SOON...

NatureNut said...

Dah! Went to heat up lunch & saw eagle in nearby tree!!! Got 1 pic, but a little splotchy from snow & twigs in front of it. But I DON'T care-I know it is what it is!! ☺

Mits said...

and you know it is there, Loretta:)

Mits said...

BWE NEWS.....

01/26/09:
We've just put up the schedule for our 9th Annual Eagle Festival on March 14, and it includes many fun events for both adults and kids.

deb said...

Snow pictures are fun, it is just getting your camera to focus on what you want and not a snowflake that is hard!

Mema Jo said...

We did the 3rd SPLIT

Steven we would welcome you and a new thread

I have noticed that the split is like a new thread - at least it is fast moving and I haven't gotten hung up (yet) lol
