Thanks Paula and Megan...I told him "no" but the man doesn't know the meaning of that word from me.
He had to find out for himself. At least he didn't get sick. Ate a few bites and that was it. He is a hard one to feed anyhow; meat and potatoes guy. Hardly eat a baked potatoe though. He is drinking his gatorade though.

Sissy was is "facebook"??

movin said...

NBG is back up again, not sure how long it will stay up, though.

hedgie said...

Jim, thanks for update reminder!

normabyrd said...

normabyrd said...

NORFOLK NEST is in such a beautiful tree!----can't wait--for eggs--&--eaglets!---ho!---Guess we can dream!!!!

Red said...

I'm back from my trip to WalMart but have to vacuum the house now. Puppys have tracked in too much grass. BBL

normabyrd said...

DANA!---I agree with PAULA about the mashed potatoes ---or maybe just dice some potatoes & eat with some of the broth?----

normabyrd said...

RED!---You are a good husband!!---

paula eagleholic said...

Eagles really in & out at BWE this morning...back again!

normabyrd said...

MT SITE at PA!---But I notice the box is still there---Guess no one found out what it was??

floralgirl said...

It looks like a salt lick.

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning everyone out there! Glad to see the whole morning crew on here today.

Lolly - our buddy from the Lone Star State
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Eagle Buddy
Happy birthday to you

normabyrd said...

Thanks PAULA!----LOVE BWE!!---Beautiful Eagles---such a neat nest too!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' JO!----You are like a breath of SUNSHINE this am!!---Hope you are feeling better each day-----

Mema Jo said...

Norfolk nest cam has been up for quite a while for me - haven't sighted either of the eagles.
Great to see the BWE nest occupied.
They are always an egg ahead of us - won't be long since JAN is going by us fast!

My heart goes out to the panda - I wish there were a way to release him completely somewhere in China - but then he may not know what to do with freedom.

Mema Jo said...

Well Norma I am feeling better but this bug sure is taking it's toll on me. You all out there Stay Well!

hedgie said...

Great pics from Catalina and Channel Islands, and sounds like a promising season.
Will Nethy become a permanent resident of African continent, or will she/he return to the UK? Anyone know?

deb said...

She will return, but not this season. Osprey don't migrate back until they are at least two, sometimes three. Then they will begin the yearly migration after that.

hedgie said...

Hey, Jo! You just take it easy and let nature and the good Lord heal you. We miss you but just want you well!!

deb said...

My birds are fed and watered again and my fingers are cold!

hedgie said...

I agree that the "box" at PIX is a lick...but think it's a sweet (molasses) block that has minerals in it--can't remember what they use! Salt licks are white.

hedgie said...

Thanks, Deb. Isn't it a miracle that after a couple of years they can remember where they came from??!!

deb said...

The burrowing owl is out, enjoying the snow being gone.

deb said...

Yes it is. It is almost always the male that will go back to the general area where it came from, the female osprey will follow its mate.

hedgie said...

Dana, saw your question to Sissy about Facebook....in emails on yahoo a week or so ago, she posted info about her Facebook page, that you could link to.....I haven't figured it all out yet...need to get one of my girls to teach me more!!

Mema Jo said...

I was glad to see the little owl out today - I haven't seen the rabbit..

EAGLE OUT NEST

Mema Jo said...

Lib is paying us a visit

floralgirl said...

Yeah, thanks, Hedgie- that's what I meant, that is exactly what it looks like.
Good to see you on here, Jo. Take it easy!
Facebook is an easy site- teenage daughter talked me into joining-you sign up and have a page where you can post pics, etc. You can keep in touch with friends, I like it because no one can see your page unless you invite them too. I found a friend from childhood on there I hadn't talked to in years.

Mema Jo said...

I'm getting so excited I can't
type right! lol

Windy up there in the nest........

Mema Jo said...

I had sound but I don't now.....

floralgirl said...

I have to keep refreshing to keep sound- but it's so windy anyway, that's really all you hear.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Jo, I refreshed and the sound came back on. Lots of wind!

normabyrd said...

WOW!---BELLE is blowin' in the wind!----But she is tough---& she is AWESOME at the same time!

normabyrd said...

I don't remember ever seeing a box there before!----GOOD NEWS!---I thought it was a battery like we saw once before----Remember JO?

wvgal_dana said...

HI JO take it easy...my hubby wants to ride to grocery store.....NUTS ! This guy is relentless. I say stay home he says "no". I can hardly breath when I sent out to get newspaper. He has problems breathing anyhow. DARN GUY !

deb said...

Getting ready to go.

Mema Jo said...

I guess I really don't need the wind sound.

He is Living on the edge! lol

wvgal_dana said...

Oh Lynn the brown salt licks are called "mineral salt licks" all the animals and birds love the brown ones. Use to buy them all the time before we down sized to here.

floralgirl said...

Dana, do we need to get the cane out for Ed??

deb said...

Maybe not, just looking over the area.

Lolly said...

Woopee! Got on and an eagle flew in....a birthday present!!

I will never get out of the house today. Had to read carefully over the blog to see all the WONDERFUL birthday greetings! And, the email to see all the cards! More fun! You guys are the greatest!!

Red...loved your poem!!

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Megan plus the gorilla tape !!!

Lolly said...

Michael called early and sister, Sharon called and we talked for a long time. Brother is at sea on a cruise, will not hear from him.

Jack cooked a wonderful breakfast and we going to head out to buy a new tree( had to take down a big oak that was dying :( ) Also, a new microwave. Ours was aging and we reheated Salmon croquettes and now is smells like salmon. Lovely!

deb said...

An eagle for your birthday, what a treat! Have a great day, Lolly.

deb said...

I am out of here, too. I want to get some things done before the snow comes.

Later

hedgie said...

Guess Lib must be tired of battling the windy air currents!!! Nice long rest!

normabyrd said...

DANA!!!---I agree with MEGAN---I was getting ready to see if you wanted to borrow my cane!---ho!!---We don't have all that wind now!!---Think we are all tired of this fierce wind!!!

Lolly said...

Megan, my daughter has been urging me to get facebook. She has it and I have been getting on her page. ha! Guess I will eventually.

Lolly said...

I have to do more than refresh to get the sound back. Have to get off and them back on. Hitting refresh does nothing for the sound.

hedgie said...

And off he went!

normabyrd said...

LOLLY!!---When you remove your old microwave----make sure it is MT!---Remember I told you all---I received a new microwave from SANTA----Daughter came to help me bring in the new one, etc.---I lost my favorite coffee mug----hunted 3-4 days---Just happen to check the old one!!---There it was with a half a cup of coffee in it!!-----(so funny)!

Lolly said...

Yeah, I got off long enough to get the sound back, got the sound but now eagle gone, gone.

Lolly said...

I remember that Norma. LOL Will check it to be sure.

Had fried eggs, grits, bacon, and sausage and fresh loaf of homemade bread this AM, Norma. My day is off to a good start.

floralgirl said...

I really like Facebook, Lolly. My kid 'friended' me, and then several of her friends did too, which I thought was cool.

normabyrd said...

OH LOLLY!---I will give you the eggs--bacon & grits!---I only want the bread & sausage!!---ho!---SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT BIRTHDAY BREAKFAST!!!----LIFE IS GOOD!!!

Lolly said...

I am now off to get beautiful, so Jack and I can go shopping. I am remembering my wonderful weekend in NYC, as that was Christmas/Birthday present. Should be enough for several years. ha!

Yes, I am enjoying being 35!! Five years younger than my son, who turns 40 the 18th. LOL

BBL You, too, have a fabulous day!

Mema Jo said...

Good good birthday morning, Lolly!

Took a phone call from gd in Hedgesville and missed the POOF OF LIB

Going to get some lunch....

BBL

Lolly said...

Megan, Laurel got on facebook on my computer one day. So when I type in facebook, her email pops up and I typed in her usual password and got on. I later told her. She is threatening to sue me. ha! Actually she does not mind, and I love reading and seeing pictures from her friends that I know. She has made contact with lots of HS friends. When I get on I will let you know.

Lolly said...

Good morning Jo. Thanks for all the birthday greetings. It really makes a person feel great. Got a beautiful card from Chrissy.

So glad you are feeling better. We have really missed you. Take care!!

Lolly said...

I am really outta here. Bye!

BBL

Red said...

Gosh I missed the visit. Got tied up in my domestic chores and forgot to come back. Went grocery shopping, Vacuumed, washed kitchen floor and started laundry. Now I'm sweating. lol

Red said...

I have a Facebook page too but haven't added anything to it yet.

wvgal_dana said...

I am going to try to sneak off to grocery store without hubby. I can always call him after I get there. To see if he wants anything special....tippy toes I go. Watch me get caught...lol

Red said...

In fact I had to re-activate it yesterday as I had not used it in a long time.

hedgie said...

Funny that you all have trouble keeping nest sound, and I can't get rid of it without rebooting!!! LOL!

Red said...

Maybe you are hogging all the sound Hedgie and not leaving enough for the rest of us. lol

Anne-Marie said...

Good morning all, I have been bounced off twice this morning.

Anne-Marie said...

Oh by the way, I have sound too.

Red said...

Hedgie, you must have two sound board drivers and need to delete one but you should have someone who knows how, to remove it. It's too complicated for me to try to tell you.

normabyrd said...

PAULA---YOU HAVE MAIL!!

Mema Jo said...

Was just checking out some cams..Snowman one was busy with deer, birds and squirrels.
The puppy cam is on: Mrs. SFShiba is taking our male Shiba in to work today so we'll be putting Ayumi on camera to look in on her while we're at work. Hopefully we'll be able to trust her not chewing up things in the rest of the house while we're away at work. ;-)

Time for me to take a rest...BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Backatcha, Norma!

Anne-Marie said...

turtle bay has wind but no activity. I am three hours away and its foggy and cold here with no wind. BW is quiet.birds singing at PH.WV looks colder the heck.Beautiful birds in Oklahoma.

Anne-Marie said...

for all of you and also for thoes who will read this later. I have had an email freind for years in east Texas who wrote to me last night and stated her daughter in law has stage 4 colon cancer. the little lady of 30-something has 4 small children and a sweet husband. Please include her in your prayers. this is a request from my freind that I ask this of you. She seems to think we have a direct link to the almighty as our prayers have helped her so much in the past.Thank you..

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Anne-Marie, I believe we have a direct link here too! :)

movin said...

hI, aNNE-Marie. How are you doing?

Do you have a name ... first ... for the lady with colon cancer?

hedgie said...

Prayers for your friends' DIL, Anne Marie. i do believe that we have a good link to the Guy upstairs!
Red, I will check into that. The guy who works with my daughter who transferred my stuff from my old puter to this one may know what to do! I think there is two sound items, but don't know anything about them! Just know that one wasn't Sound Blaster!!
Heading out for the afternoon/evening. Eldest (Carolyn) and I are heading to youngests (Christie) for a home party for Tastefully Simple...lots of yummies to sample!! Keep the blog warm! Will check in after I get home--late!!

Red said...

paula eagleholic said...

Both eagles at Turtle Bay!

Man that nest is a rockin'

Anne-Marie said...

One eagle at turtle bay. wind is really blowing. Its still here and finally sunny. I cant get over how much difference the weather is just three hour up the road. Back to work... rest time of over..

deb said...

I am home and the snow beat me. I didn't think it was supposed to start until later. It isn't too bad, but did drive 50-55 on the way home instead of 70.

deb said...

Eagle at LW!

deb said...

EAGLE< OUR NEST

carolinabeachmom said...

Ealge in Nest!

carolinabeachmom said...

Hi all, I am on facebook and heard our buddy come into the nest. Brought a big sitck this time. TGIF

floralgirl said...

Cool, eagle in the nest again!
The Caltrans site is really cool, unfortunately, I can't watch it because there is a problem with my monitor that causes the picture to jump all around...just one of the daily frustrations of my life....
We have called the MD dept. of unemployment no less than 100 times in the past two days, spending endless hours on the phone-to no avail. Never once did we reach an actual person And yes, press 1 if you speak English.... All I can say is if you live in MD, and you can't file for unemployment online because you don't have a standard case for unemployment- you are sol..... have contacted my state senator to see if they can help us, but I ain't holding my breath... going outside to work off some frustration, so if you hear screaming on the cam mike, you'll know what the noise is.

deb said...

My sound won't stay on, Candy. It stays up about 30 seconds, then cuts out.

deb said...

Sorry you are having a bad week, Megan. I read that some states entire unemployment sites are crashing because they are overwhelmed.

carolinabeachmom said...

Megan, I feel fro you. My son quit his job in Winchester to move down to NC because that is what his new wife wanted. Of all times, No jobs. I don't know what he was thinking. I wlll be praying for a job for your husband along with my son.

deb said...

Poof went our eagle.

carolinabeachmom said...

How are you doing DEB? Haven't been on all week. Just too plain tired after school.

carolinabeachmom said...

So far, I still seem to have sound on the nest, but no birds again. It looks like a lot of twigs and branches have been put into place this week.

deb said...

EAGLE

carolinabeachmom said...

He's BACK

deb said...

I am good Candy. I am tired of winter, but I leave for CA on Tuesday, so I will get a very nice break from the cold.

carolinabeachmom said...

Both birds

deb said...

both

carolinabeachmom said...

First one was Belle and Lib just flew in

carolinabeachmom said...

This zoom in and out is wonderful.

carolinabeachmom said...

California sounds good DEB. I don't know how you can stand the snow storms. I lived in NY State for 39 years and got sick and tired of shoveling, driving in it and changing plans because of it. Enjoy ;your trip.

carolinabeachmom said...

Looks like there is soft material in place for the starting of an egg cup. That Belle is really fixing the twigs.

Lolly said...

Hello.....I'm back. Went shopping have a new tree to plant, got a beautiful red oak...big one at a great price. Also, got my new microwave. So, I am happy.

Now Jack and I are getting ready to go out to eat. Going to a tiny Italian place, Nona Tatas, and hopefully will get in. We have been there twice before and it was full with a long waiting list. A very popular, highly rated tiny restaurant.

carolinabeachmom said...

Just lost my sound at the nest

carolinabeachmom said...

Sounds good LOLLY. Eat everyting in sight.

carolinabeachmom said...

LOLLY we have our two eagles working on their nest.

Lolly said...

Gotta run! Looks like I missed a nest visit. Talk with you guys later. Bye!

deb said...

Poof, Belle

deb said...

Here is a really good one for you:

Spearfish High School has been asked by PETA to change it's name to Sea Kitten High School. They think that Spearfish promotes the killing of fish. Here is a quote for you:

If children were taught to refer to fish as “sea kittens,” reflecting that fish, like cats and dogs, are “individuals” that “do have friendships,” fewer fish might be killed for food or sport, said Pulin Modi, a PETA spokesman.

A senior replies: “It’s so illogical that it’s hard to comprehend it,” senior Zach Retzl said. “I really don’t think any student would necessarily go for that.”

deb said...

Spearfish is in the Black Hills, not far from Sturgis.

Red said...

I've been to Spearfish and Sturgis but it was many many years ago.

deb said...

I was there last year in April and in August of 2008. I didn't see anyone spear fishing, or fishing for that matter.

Red said...

PETA gets carried away too much. I was through there in 1976. Was livig in Ann Arbor Michigan and had been to Yellowstone.

Red said...

And speaking of High Schools, this morning I went to Fayetteville, Tennessed to Walmart. When I got to town the main street was stop and go traffic. Turned out someone had called in a bomb threat to the High School.

Red said...

Should be Tennessee. lol

Red said...

It was a false alarm though.

Red said...

Guess I'm just babbling. lol

deb said...

Babble away, Red. I thought it was a joke when I read the article, kept waiting for the reporter to say the students had done it for fun. Nope, it is really true.

Red said...

PETA has some good points but usually they impress me with their stupidity

deb said...

Eagle at LW.

Red said...

It didn't stay long.

magpie said...

Wild Stuff at Pix Pa..

And Blogger Cop ate my first post !

Hi everyone xo ☺

Red said...

Hi Margy. You working tonight?

magpie said...

No, Red. I just finished
a 12-hour dayshift, and I am slam wore out !


I do want to read through all the happenin's today, thought, but it is going to take awhile! ☺

Red said...

Guess you need to unwind then.

Red said...

Mrs Red and I will be going out for dinner soon. Y'all have a nice evening.

magpie said...

Yes, Red, it will be nice to see what everyone saw and did today.
Blog is taking awhile to refresh...
" What's up with That ?? "

back in a bit...

Quick funny story: Captain Eagle left a message on my cell phone..but it was for someone else! I had called Wanda's cell phone to see if they had made it through the Snow Pour...guess somehow he called back to my number instead of one of his buddies...They were in the Carolinas around one today! Will have to try to call them and tease them about it a little later...☺

magpie said...

Here's a snow report from naturalist friend on the NY-PA border near Erie PA:

"Since yesterday at least 2 more feet of snow has fallen and it will continue all day today and then a big storm is called for tomorrow... So far this year we have had about 12 feet of snow and it is still early, we can probably get another 12 feet yet. "

Now That's some snow !

I see there was a lot of Eagle loving today, that's Great ! ♥♥

TTFN - time to drown some bath bubbles...☺

magpie said...

Two Eagles at Caltrans!

magpie said...

First time I have seem them since I re-installed Quick Time. Finally !

magpie said...

I figure Caltrans is going to say Good Night soon..but the birds are still there, and school buses going past.
I have a Wanda Story for you ...soon... ☺

magpie said...

They don't call Gene Captain for nothin'!
They headed out on schedule Thursday morning, Gene had the CB on and heard about the interstate being closed, so they detoured off onto Rt 11S, that was just as bad, clogged with other detourers. So Gene figured out a way to get to where he needed to be by going to Charles Town! Part II to follow..

magpie said...

Part II

Tonight the Captain, First Mate, and GeeGee are bedded down in South Carolina. They went shopping in SC, at two thrift stores and one antique shop. GeeGee found a table that she really liked and wanted....Wanda had to talk her out of it...
When I called tonight, Gene answered, he thought it was his buddy calling that he had "called ealier" (though it was my phone he called) - so he passed me over to Wanda. We had a good chuckle over it, told her to tell Gene he needs to call his buddy at the right number next time!
Wanda sends love and hugs to all, and asked that I tell you she misses you!
She sounded like a little girl. ☺

magpie said...

Now it is time to drown the bath bubbles...
Caltrans, is not a friendly site for my computer, locks things up, unfortunately.

TTFN xoxo
