SPLITTING AGAIN:)

Mema Jo said...

FOR THE 3rd TIME SINCE FRIDAY!

How about all that WAX you got, Mits!

Mema Jo said...

Back to Cold Case
It's half over & I haven't got this one
figured out yet!!!

Mits said...

Rather have a new thread than wax:)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hello my buds! :) ☺

deb said...

Congratulations to Maggie's Mounties!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Ground is white in Bluefield.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Big congratulations to Maggie's Mounties!!

Mits said...

hello Hoover....glad to see that machine doing so well for you...hos does the stomach feel?

Mits said...

thanks, Deb...it is a great thing for the special Olympians, they may have special needs, but they are special people

hedgie said...

Way to go, Maggies' Mounties!!!!
Hip-hip-hooray!!!!

Mits said...

yes, see the snow on the cam....

deb said...

CA has more eggs, PH has been confirmed on two eggs, WE, they are pretty sure the first egg has been laid.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

The Hoover is sucking right along. :) It is healing, still having some pain but not as bad as it was!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

This machine is somewhat aggravating, especially when I try to walk away without picking it up. I forget it is there sometimes, you know?

Mema Jo said...

You can really just keep all that white stuff right out there in Bluefield!!!

Mema Jo said...

Repeat on this thread the news concerning
Maggie's Mounties!!!

deb said...

From Helen before the split:

Division #3, amount of plungers between 30 and 39 the #1 team again this year is.............

MAGGIES' MOUNTIES:)


THANKS TO ALL WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE

hedgie said...

Sharon, guess that's kind of like trying to drive away from the gas pump w/o taking the nozzle out of the tank, huh???? LOL!

hedgie said...

Hey, Jo...any baby news yet? How far apart were her contractions? Real ones or Braxton-Hicks???

deb said...

Well, we didn't get to see the egg at WE to confirm it 100%, but based on everything that was seen I would say it is 99.5% positive Wray laid an egg.

Both eggs were laid at almost the same time! One at PH, one at WE.

Mits said...

thanks, Deb:), for bringing it over.....listen how peaceful it is at PH

deb said...

Sharon, I am sure glad they put you on the VAC, what a difference for you.

deb said...

It was nice listening to the night sounds as PH went off the air. Too bad we didn't get a glimpse of WE egg, but I am pretty sure it is there.

Mema Jo said...

WHOO HOO !!!

Now that is a T E A M

Mema Jo said...

No new baby yet - She said she is waiting until tomorrow!!! I've had 2 calls today with updates.
Her sister is now here so everyone is
saying JUST DO IT !!!

I'll be sure to keep you posted.

Mema Jo said...

Talk-radio pioneer Paul Harvey dies

Mits said...

awww...good day, Paul:(

deb said...

I always liked listening to Paul Harvey, especially his "The Rest of the Story" segments.

Mits said...

his son sounds just like him...

Mits said...

black cat at Saline

hedgie said...

Me, too, Deb. Did it say how old he was? Ed McMahon is probably next.

Mits said...

Tonight's menu:From saline

Chicken cat food
Dry cat food
Salami (cotto)
Baked Tuna & Noodles
Cabbage
Apples
NASTY Pork patties

movin said...

Well, Deb. I think WE did lay their first egg, although I didn't actually see the egg either. She appeared to be going through labor for some time, and she is on the nest, incubating, after dark has fallen.

At PH, K-26 absolutely looked as though she was in the process without a question, and when she rolled them, I might have been able to see them (pictures small), and many others are definite about seeing two eggs rolled.

Jim

hedgie said...

Found out that I can't make any of the fancy symbols on this "netbbook"---no number pad to lock on to, and regular numerals won't work for that. Also no F keys...have to key in F and the digit. Size DOES matter!!!

deb said...

I am loading video of K26 rolling the two eggs, I wish there was something that told you how far along the upload process was.

BWE is awake.

Mema Jo said...

I think Paul Harvey was 90.

Mits said...

yes he was...

Paul Harvey, news commentator and talk-show pioneer, has died at the age of 90 surrounded by family at his winter home in Phoenix.

hedgie said...

Sure enough he was' Jo. TY!

floralgirl said...

Cool- way to go Maggie's Mounties!!

floralgirl said...

Egg roll- our nest.

magpie said...

It was a beautiful egg roll wasn't it Megan...☺ ☺ ☺

deb said...

Video of PH's second egg is on my Nest Pictures page.

magpie said...

Yo Ho, Mits That is very special news about Maggie's Mounties..☺
That's the best thing to come and read about! ♥

xo

magpie said...

And more eggs in California, now that is good news too...

hedgie said...

Hey, Margy, was beginning to wonder if you got lost at Mass! Sorry you have to work tomorrow..bummer. But you did have a nice stretch off...back to the real world, huh?

magpie said...

For you Colorado fans, my brother and his wife just arrived in Walden Colorado, for his 36th year of research on Prairie Dogs, some of those years have been in the Black Hills of South Dakota, some in Utah, some in Arizona, and the most recent in Colorado

magpie said...

The rest if his year is spent at Frostburg University as a biology professor

Mits said...

good news, Margy

deb said...

The possum at Saline isn't the only one with a name, I saw this posted tonight:

"Ratface" Malone, Rocky Raccoon and the Michigan Panther.

Tonight you can see the name on the beer can, also. Natural Beer--I had to google it. It is an Anheuser/Busch product.

magpie said...

After Mass, Hedgie, I went shopping and got myself some decent sneakers! I was tempted to go look at digital cameras, but it was getting too late and I have to pick your all's brains a little first before I do that!

magpie said...

I must have looked at 200 pairs of shoes looking for ones like Megan's -
no luck :(

hedgie said...

Wonderful video, Deb! TY!

magpie said...

But earlier in the day I found me some great bib overalls - 3 pairs - at Good Will! ☺ - I'll be all set for the next nest visit

magpie said...

Thanks Mits...

He paints numbers on all the adult prairie dogs so he can track their activities, and his fingernails are black form the dye until the Fall!


Hedgie, I only have a six-hour shot Sunday, then back to dayshift Mon and Tues... just found out I am on dayshift for another month...

magpie said...

my brother John and his wife have four children, and they home-schooled them all, so the kids could go out on the trips West, and they helped with the research as they got a little older. Crazy life, and they have all ended up doing very well

Lolly said...

That is really interesting Margy about your brother. Prairie dogs are interesting creatures.

magpie said...

Fantastic Video, Deb, of K26 laying that second egg !

Lolly said...

Also, Margy I am excited about the pictures you are going to send. Mail away! Penny our postlady will be holding our mail and she is good. Takes good care of us!
We will be leaving Wednesday and will not be gone a full week. (I think!) Will take our laptop, but not sure if the places we stop will have WiFi.

Mits said...

that sounds really nice for the whole family, Margy.

Mits said...

bwe awake

Lolly said...

My picture at Saline is all messed up!

magpie said...

Hard to believe he could find so many things to continue his research for 36 years, Lolly -
they are very colonial, that's for sure, and, they sometimes engage in killing their babies (infanticide) but they are very familial at the same time. I guess I should read one of his books about them and learn more

Mits said...

your are talking about the prairie dogs, right, Margy:]

magpie said...

Mits
this is the same brother who has the trains in Frostburg- they are really a lovely family, three boys and a girl, "Margaret" who we sometimes call "Baby Magpie" - John is the one who gave me the nickname in the first place ☺

magpie said...

OK Lolly - I will get them mailed. They are already on Wanda's pics and the Momster album but sometimes it is nice to have a hot little picture in your hands.

deb said...

My Saline is all goofy, too.

Lolly said...

I love it!....Baby Magpie!

magpie said...

Wonder if it is raining at Blackwater yet, adult looks a little wet.

Lolly said...

Yes, it is! Thanks!

Lolly said...

36 here and windy! My wind chimes are singing! Supposed to freeze tonight, just hope it does not stay below freezing for long. Jack and I are comfy in our chairs in front of the fire.

magpie said...

Oh Yes Mits! I am talking about the Prairie Dogs ! ROFLMBO!

Mits said...

OH GOOD, MARGY, didn't want nightmares tonight:)

magpie said...

Aaaaah, wind chimes and a nice fire! I have a brother in law who made me a giant set of wind chimes once, out of tent pole stakes! Woke the whole neighborhood up but they were great!

Sure love that daffodil avatar, Lolly Hope you don't get the freeze...

magpie said...

How did the Mount make out in their game, Mits ?

Lolly said...

I was thinking it was something that someone at Saline sits every night and works the cam as it follows the creatures when they leave. THEN I thought of us sitting and looking at our computer screens...how many hours a day? LOL

magpie said...

Well, now that I think of it, it wasn't the stakes, it was the tent poles themselves, big aluminum hollow poles!

magpie said...

I see here Sharon snuck on here earlier... Hi Sharon if you are still hanging around ☺

Lolly said...

I will change to tulips soon!

Mits said...

great video Deb:)

Lolly said...

Some of my wind chimes Jack made. He used electrical conduit pipes.

Mits said...

they lost Margy, but are still 2nd seed in their division, Division Championships begin next Thursday, jubby will miss the game, but hopefully son can go:)

Mits said...

wow, look at the time..take care and good night everyone:) TTYT.

Lolly said...

Mits, you did it that time. Booted me off! LOL

Racoon is back.

Lolly said...

Nite Mits! Sweet dreams....no nightmares!

Mema Jo said...

I told you MITS did it! lol

I at the end of my Hallmark Movie

BBL

Mits said...

ooppsss, sorry:)

Mits said...

Lolly said...

I forgive you!

Costume Lady said...

MAGGIE'S MOUNTIES ROCKS!! SO MUCH LOVE AND SUPPORT FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY. I'll bet you can feel the love in the air at the PLULNGE. Love it!

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL

Lolly said...

Nite Wanda!

magpie said...

Good Night Mits and Jubby, and Wanda and Gene xoxo ♥ ♥

Lolly :
I also have a set of wind chimes made from the tines of a buck's antlers, old boyfriend (should say, "former" not old I guess) made those for me.

magpie said...

Five minutes of BWE viewing time left until 5 o'clock in the morning

magpie said...

Hedgie :
Let me know if or when that Yanni concert is going to be on again...

deb said...

That's it for BWE.

hedgie said...

Margy, Yanni will repeat Mon. 8-10pm on 26,31 & 44. If you can't get those channels (they are all listed in the Journal's TV guide) I can tape it for you on VCR.
Night Mits and Wanda!

hedgie said...

So glad you like Yanni, too. A kindred spirit!!!

hedgie said...

He is one of the few things in this life that my sister and I see eye-to-eye on. Another is Andreas Vollenveider....do you remember him? Haven't heard anything about him in years!

hedgie said...

Here, Margy:

Vollenweider

Mema Jo said...

Good night to those that have left!

Deb I just watched the 2nd egg..
Spectacular coverage!

I am watching the weather report...
BRB

magpie said...

Monday night sounds good, Hedgie, I should be able to get that here. I have several cassettes of his, a few have gone kaput, so I will replace them someday wtih CDs. I used to put them in to go sleep by when I was working night shift a few years back, the more quiet ones that is.
Can't say I remember Andreas V. -
I think I will be finishing up FireFight tonight, headed to do that soon.

Good Night to all heading to the Feather Pillows...
Peace, Love and Prayers, and God Bless Us, Every One xo

hedgie said...

No weather here yet! Loved that term on Mits' latest weather forecast..."real feel"....how accurate!

magpie said...

Okay Hedgie, Thanks - that is nice, could listen to some of that a lot! It is new to me...

magpie said...

If Lolly isn't looking, I might mention Oatmeal Creme Pie, because it is just about time for one...☺

hedgie said...

Going to turn in now myself. Rest well dear friends. "See" you tomorrow. Prayers and peace.

Mema Jo said...

I hope when I get up that it won't be White outside....... BUT
March can come in like a lion..... & I think it will!

Good Night All
Prayers for everyone's needs being said
(((hugs))) ♥ ♥ ♥

floralgirl said...

It is snowing here now, just very light flurries...

Lolly said...

Shame on you Margy!! I am watching!!!!! LOL

Lolly said...

Tried to sneak that by me, did you?!

magpie said...

Whooooops Lolly...
Well, I am having 2 % milk with it...does that help any?

Megan I just checked outside, nothing here yet, but it feels sooooo cold and raw....

When we wake up it will be the Spring Month!

Good Night Eagle ♀ and ♂ Friends
xo

Lolly said...

Nite Margy!!! Sweet dreams! Think I will call it a day as well. Nite all!

movin said...

I don't know if anyone is up yet, but if you are, take a look at Pete's Pond this A.M. (their time)... There are a lot of new wading birds: Large and small Herons, Egrets, Storks, Ibises AND Spoonbills.

Believe it or not, and they are feeding now.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

floralgirl said...

Well ok, I'm awake, and I went to Pete's POnd and you are right, there are all kinds of birds. Just watched one catch a fish:)

movin said...

PH's second egg being laid

Here's a video of K26 working, pushing and twisting to lay her second egg.

And when she's done and moves to turn them, you can clearly see two eggs.

Great video. Enjoy it.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

Hi, Megan, I'm glad you saw them too. It's amazing. And there are a couple of pairs of interesting geese too.

I notice there are a lot of large, new bird stains on the local rocks too. (:~D


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

A couple of days ago there were a lot of Cattle Egrets at the Pond, feeding on a large insect hatch, together with the Swallows and the Martins.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Deb and Jim great videos of PH.

Well Sweet Dream Eagleland

Prayers for those that need them
Priases to God for Sharon's vac healing.

All be careful tomorrow and during these coming up days of bad weather.

AOYP's and Pleasant Dream
Night

floralgirl said...

Yep, that's neat, the geese are really pretty.
Watching the radar,and it looks like most of the storm is passing by quietly, the atmosphere has been dry...so precipitation is not hitting the ground initially. Snow and sleet accumulation up to a few hundredths of a inch is expected through 1 am.
So I'm off to sleep until it is March, and daylight's saving time will only be 7 days away....

magpie said...

NOw they are both just huddled up against each other with heads into their wings

Mits said...

Mits said...

magpie said...

Long time for those two BWE parents to be together in the nest, both still there ☺ ☺ ♥ ♥

Just checked our nest & after daylight can see the snow. Poor things!

magpie said...

Egg roll again our nest

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Eagleland

Lots of snow here

Loretta sorry to hear about the fires. Did your daughter have to evacate? I pray she will be safe and her home spared.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Margy..your right they do have a lot of nice pictures over there. That loving scence of Dad staying with Mom is so beautiful.

wvgal_dana said...

I seen our eagle raise up alittle and had head into nest bowl. Never got off or moved body much at all. Keeping those eggs warm.

NatureNut said...

Hi Dana, No, she was on the safer side of the fire, luckily. I didn't realize that they were still in drought conditions. Had been 80's 2 days ago & 60's on Sat.
Co. official asked for disaster relief.

magpie said...

2nd eagle at Norfolk

NatureNut said...

Poor Norfolk eagle is all wet.

magpie said...

Loretta:

Good Morning Dana!

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle was at Decorah, Ia. gone no egg laying yet there.

wvgal_dana said...

Oh yea HAPPY MARCH 1ST EAGLELAND

wvgal_dana said...

Wondering about the great granbaby due for Mema Jo. Like everyone waiting to hear.

magpie said...

Lady Blackwater is not giving up a single Egg View this morning, and she refused to give up her roost on th eggs.

Yes, wondering if Jo's grand-daughter's baby is getting ready to hatch soon too ☺

NatureNut said...

News report from last night on TX fire at KXAN.com.

magpie said...

I put some pictures on the new Momsters album page, they are a little out of order, will ask Jo to rre-arrange them for me later on.

AND I added one to the old-time Finney'st nest album that we started a long time ago...

Wonder if Belle is out getting some breakfast after a long cold night at the nest

I think BWE just did egg roll and there is one Eagle at a blurry BWO platform

* Best Wishes for a Wonderful Day everyone, and Safe Travel Wishes to Helen's Jubby * xoxo

wvgal_dana said...

BWE checked under her but never got up.

magpie said...

The Finney's album is entitled Sea Eagles and is on the last page of the album selections.
Will watch the news on fire now, Loretta...thanks.

OK Dana, thanks...

wvgal_dana said...

I thought my live feed was stuck. Refresh and see our eagle has a different position in nest. That made me bring the still cam up.
Our eagle is awake and looking around.

magpie said...

Gotta keep that still cam up, Dana, because sometimes it is ahead of the Live Feed and you can see what's coming....at least, that is what I do

wvgal_dana said...

Yep Margy was use to doing that but forgot this morning. Your right it has been ahead of live feed. How the snow in your way?

magpie said...

About an inch Dana and it has quit, birds chirping now -

I guess our Robins will now officially be Snow Robins ☺

wvgal_dana said...

OK is awake a perky.

magpie said...

Have half a dozen calendars to change, my Wood Ducks have now turned over the page to Blue Birds on the WV DNR Calendar...

wvgal_dana said...

Switch at OK nice 3 eggs.

magpie said...

And that's how it works, Dana...got to catch it on the still feed sometimes to keep up with the live, UNTIL I get the little screen thing working...☺

Beautiful egg roll

Gobbler has moved on, hens seemed completely disinterested ! Sure he is still around somewhere though

magpie said...

Norma:

Can you find us a seamstress...we could really use a New Thread....☺

Maybe Steve is just relaxing and enjoying life for a change....

BBL Laundry and lots of it awaits me

wvgal_dana said...
