Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I just fixed some of the best potato soup!! Didn't follow a recipe, just threw it together. Sometimes stuff turns out alot better like that.

Glad you are home today, MITS -
I did read about your being there Wednesday...☺

magpie said...

Looks like something kind of furry in that BWE nest...towards the top, too hard to tell with the shadows.

Hedgie: I think about that every time I hit the 00 mark! I could use one !

magpie said...

Time to warm the car up, have to go out...to see the Sciatica doc.
Hope everyone is well today.

floralgirl said...

Hey Lolly, Your son and I have the same b-day:)
Weird, cause I signed up to get the momsters mail in my inbox, but none came thru today, so I can't see the eagle pic:(
Sorry to hear of Jean Keene, she was one of a kind...

wvgal_dana said...

MEGAN I'll send it to you

floralgirl said...

Thanks, Dana. There are many nests along the Potomac some known, probably some not. I've been told there's one around Brunswick.

Mits said...

Mema Jo said...

I have returned from haircut & running 2 other errands. It really is frigid out there. I feel so much better with less hair!!
Sorry to hear about the passing of Jean the eagle lady. Her life was really an inspiration to everyone who heard about her.

I need to put my feet up for an hour so
BBL

Red said...

Guess Kent cam didn't get fully repaired yesterday. They said it might be the end of the week though.

Mits said...

plane crashed into Hudson river in NYC.....they are saying everyone survived....thank you God:)

Mits said...

I had sent Loraine from KENT a beautiful pic from Lake Washington the other day...... this is her response...

Thank you Helen.. this is a spectacular picture. The WDFW installed an IR camera here today during maintenance - too bad our nest is so small at this point. It should be online soon. There are glitches they need to iron out, hopefully it will be sooner than later. Loraine
So hopefully Kent will be back up and running....soon:)

T-Bird said...

Hello everyone

T-Bird said...

It's nice to see Liberty and Belle in the nest.

T-Bird said...

It looks windy there.

Mits said...

Hi Thelma, how are you today?

T-Bird said...

Looks like a little hanky panky going on. :)

T-Bird said...

Doing good MITS-how about you. I'm glad the work day is done!!

Mits said...

thanks Thelma, didn't even know they were there, been watching pandas all day

Mits said...

doing good here, Thelma...just catching up on stuff around the house:)

Mits said...

poof and gone

hedgie said...

After several panda naps, was jolted awake with news of the Hudson River plane crash....it has floated down to the Holland Tunnel...what an absolutely miracle landing those pilots pulled off! They are saying it was a flock of geese that fouled the engines....was just reminded a couple of days ago of the 14th St. Bridge crash in DC...I think 26 yrs. ago...thank God this one turned out much better.

hedgie said...

Now they are talking about the multiple bird encounters in the last year. One an owl.

Mits said...

Air Florida..1982

Mema Jo said...

Well Norma - here is #500 for you!

magpie said...

Sissy and Megan
I sent the pic of the varmint in the BWE nest,and Lisa's thoughts on what it is, to my naturalist friend in NY - his comment:

"The photo of the flying squirrel is definitely a flying squirrel, in my opinion, and I think there are only Southern ones in Maryland. I don't think any animal that size has eyes that
big. "

The guy knows a lot. They have so much Lake (Erie) effect snow, the snow is over the deer's bellies and the turkeys can't reach the ground by scratching, tough time for the wildlife up there.

Glad you saw the Birds, Thelma and MITS - I am hoping they will come back one more time.

there is an eagle at Norfolk in the branch

Mema Jo said...

That was the flight that took my previous next door neighbor's hubby. Quite of few were on it from 1 company.

Mema Jo said...

Kent Forum - I still don't have access to it. One of the gals on the ME Forum sent me an email with the same concern.
I think maybe Deb had been successful getting a password to get back into the forum.
RED Let us know if you had any communication with Larry.
I hope Red's brother is getting help with those blood clots today.

magpie said...

Two at BWO

magpie said...

Two at Norfolk one in nest one on branch

magpie said...

kind of looks like BWO birds have a small bird meal...

magpie said...

No I guess it is a fish, forget that last remark they are into the flesh of it now.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

My best friend, Charlie, is a flight attendant for US Airways. I had just talked to him a couple of minutes before I heard about the crash. Otherwise, I would have flipped out worrying if he was on the plane. What a miracle that everyone is okay, but I bet the birds aren't! :(

Mema Jo said...

Someone is looking out for you Sharon.
To have any stress taken from you is fantastic!

I need to eat some dinner
BBL

hedgie said...

Wonder who people will sue over this one...the geese????

hedgie said...

Davis, WV (near Blackwater Falls) got a foot of snow! Guess the ski areas are happier if they all got that!

magpie said...

One each at bwo and bwe

hedgie said...

Wonder when L&B are going to move that "log" out of the middle of the nest??

magpie said...

Hi Hedgie - I am waiting on a little visit, we missed one about an hour ago...:(

magpie said...

Oh dear, looks like a deceased deer at one of the PIX cams

magpie said...

It was a white out cam, ,maybe one of the salt lick cams...large deer lying motionless...don't know if that screen will open up again or not.
Time for the news...

magpie said...

bird in our nest

magpie said...

That is: Eagle Alert, one

magpie said...

Both eagles our nest....☺ ☺

magpie said...

Very choppy visit, both gone now.

T-Bird said...

I missed them this time.

Red said...

Jo, I have emailed Larry to find out how to register for the Kent forum. Is that the problem? or do you need the web address?

magpie said...

Simply amazing, the plane crash.
What a miracle.
God Bless the Pilots, Crew, rescue teams, and all the passengers.

magpie said...

Hi T-Bird -
it was a quiet and difficult view, cam froze up a good bit, and was frozen for the second one taking off.
But, I'll settle for it! ☺

Mits said...

UPDATE FROM NATIONAL ZOO...

January 15
Today some web cam viewers and Zoo staff saw something we weren't expecting until later this year—an attempt at mating! Mei Xiang has shown some behavioral and hormonal signs that she was nearing estrus, nearly two months earlier than the earliest date she has begun estrus, but her hormone levels have not peaked. Every time our bears do something that surprises us—and when they do what we expect—we learn something new, so we appreciate these opportunities to gain insight into these fascinating animals. We will post more information soon.

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, have ya'll seen the plane crash in NY on the Hudson River!

Mits said...

it was truly a miracle, Paula...hubby takes shuttle out of there all the time

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, I see ya'll have heard. Amazing pics on TV.

Yes Hedgie the 14th st bridge crash was 26 or 27 years ago.

paula eagleholic said...

Lots of eagle activity today...and more HP in our nest...I think we will have early February eggs again.

Pilot did an amazing job landing that plane.

paula eagleholic said...

Mits - I am headed to the Mount game tonight...it's televised on MASN....I'll be in the first row right behind the scorer's table. Sitting next to my boss....white hair and beard.

Mits said...

I will look for you, Paula....wondering if our son will go...he trys to get to as many games as possible

paula eagleholic said...

Jo - I got a response from Kent right away when I resigned up. However, the password did go to my junk mail...maybe try signing up again or emailing Larry.

Mits said...

pilot also went up and down the ailes twice to look for any passengers before he left plane...what a guy:)

paula eagleholic said...

Can't believe how far down river the plane is...they said the current is pretty fast there in the river.

paula eagleholic said...

Amazing that a flock of birds can bring down a plane...

T-Bird said...

well gang I'm signing off-prayers with everyone

paula eagleholic said...

Gotta hit it...catch ya'll later!

Red said...

Jo and anyone else having trouble getting registered for Kent Forum.
Send Larry your User name and he will email you a password.

lmahar@charter.net

He's a nice guy.

glo said...

Live Eagle Chat will also be moving to Larry's webspace on the 18th of this month. Larry is in fact a very nice fun loving sort of guy who has a deep commitment to the survival of many a critter. We have enjoyed him on a regular basis in the For the Love of Eagles chatroom over the last couple of years. I however have chosen to no longer pay for that chat space when its time is up on Jan 18.

Larrys chat and forum will be a very nice place to be as we enter into the next eagle season online.

ceil said...

Thanks Glo.

magpie said...

Well, it might be January 15 on THIS SIDE OF THE POND but it's January 16 on CHRISSY'S SIDE OF THE POND !

Can we start now?

Happy Birthday Chrissy, Hope it is your Best One Ever ! xo ☺ ♥

magpie said...

I suspect Chrissy is sleeping well now; she reports a fine birthday dinner Wednesday night with Frank, son Matt, and his girlfriend Natalie, and she is having a birthday lunch Friday with a dear friend.

Lolly said...

You are on the ball, Margy! I am right behind you....HAPPY BIRTHDAY Chrissy!!!!!!! ( though surely she is sound asleep!)

Lolly said...

Chili and cornbread for supper. Will be ready in about 15 minutes. Fire is going, we are warm and cozy....hope the same for all of you.

magpie said...

Yeah, Lolly, we'll have to pour it on again in the morning, "OUR" morning that is ☺

Good night everyone, I am hitting the hay early.

Grateful prayers for a miracle in the Hudson River.

Prayers for wellness, strength peace, and comfort for all. xo ♥

Mema Jo said...

RED - Larry just got Sherri from the ME Forum up/running on the Kent Forum.
I think Deb is in OK.. Now it is my turn.
I keep telling everyone to email Larry and I forgot to do it myself! lol

Mema Jo said...

That would be more then awesome if the
National Zoo would produce a little
cub for us to view! Tai captured all our hearts as did the LA & Atlanta ones..
But would be nice to have one so close to home to visit!!!

Mema Jo said...

Lolly, you and Jack enjoy your chili & cornbread by your cozy fire! That is so much a favorite of mine. Almost made some on Tues - I failed to do so - Tomorrow would be a good day for Chili!
I loved the NYC pics of you & Michael.

Mema Jo said...

There are about 3 deer at the PA woods -
I can't find any signs now of the dead one that Margy sent me a pic of.. Doesn't look as though their forum has been active so far this 2009..

glo said...

New thread head on over.

Mema Jo said...

Red can you advise us as to how your brother is doing (I may have missed one of your comments earlier)
