ROCKINGCIRCLER said...

COSTUME LADY---SHARED THE BLOG WITH MARGY LAST YEAR-SHE IS A REALLY GOOD FRIEND!!

Costume Lady said...

Doing TAXES now, so will be in and out. When I get mine done, will do GeeGee's. DON'T PUT OUT A SILVER ALERT...Margy will be in Berkley Springs today and won't have time to look for me:):)

ROCKINGCIRCLER said...

ANYWAY TO FIX POP UP CAM---I CAN ONLY SEE ABOUT 2/3 OF NEST---

ROCKINGCIRCLER said...

REARRANGING THE NEST A LITTLE BIT ARE WE?

movin said...

I think Liberty just brought in some more dry grass...


C(°?°)3

Jim

Costume Lady said...

RC, Margy has become a really good friend to all of us. She is our SUNSHINE GIRL:)

ROCKINGCIRCLER said...

MOST CERTAINLY--SHE ALWAYS WILL BE TOO!! ONE OF THE BEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER MET!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

If somebody knows how to fix that popup cam, I would love to know.

Mits said...

speaking of sunshine...where is Norma?

deb said...

On my computer I just have to grab the corner with the mouse and expand it, but I think most have a different set up.

floralgirl said...

RC pop up cm has been like that since they put it up- I just watch cam on a separate window and make it small so it fits in the corner of my screen.

floralgirl said...

Eagle flew out-

Mits said...

Caltran eagle was just up, very stingy with her view of the egg/eggs?

ROCKINGCIRCLER said...

THANKS GUYS---WILL TRY A DIFFERENT WINDOW I DON'T WANT TO MISS ANYTHING!

Costume Lady said...

Lib looks to be saying "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO WITH ALL THIS FLUFF?"

Mits said...

yes, 75% gets full, but, small view

Mits said...

mine will not grab, Deb.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mine won't either Mits.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Deb, are you using Firefox?

deb said...

No, I use Safari for Mac's.

deb said...

Two eggs at Caltrans, I am watching some viedo now on the Maine forum that is supposed to show them. I will let you know if it does.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

That is right, I forgot you have a Mac.

ROCKINGCIRCLER said...

TRYING TO MOVE FLUFF AROUND---SURE LOOKS LIKE A BIG TASK!! SURE BROUGHT IN ALOT---THEY ARE SUCH GOOD PARENTS!!

Mits said...

it looked like 2, but I was not going to go out on a limb, so to speak, and announce it;)

ROCKINGCIRCLER said...

PLATTEVILLE CO EAGLE NEST HAS BEEN EMPTY FOR A GOOD WHILE---BOTH WERE IN EARLIER---NO EGGS YET I TAKE IT--DOES ANYONE WATCH THIS AT ALL?

Mits said...

poor eagle at Caltran, really wants some relief....been yelling its head off

deb said...

I don't see it, but I keep getting interrupted

Caltrans second egg

Mema Jo said...

It is very tricky to grab the Pop Up & extend it...... You must get your cursor just right and when the Arrow comes up
Drag it to the right. I have Firefox and it works with your left mouse drag

Mits said...

yes, RC, we do.

deb said...

The video is from Lori on the Maine Forum.

paula eagleholic said...

You can't resize the NCTC pop up in IE...you can w/ the BW cams, tho.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL Lib is up to his neck in fluff!
:)

Mits said...

caltran off the eggs

Mits said...

Deb, we were watching at that time last night, right before it shut down for the night

floralgirl said...

With a magnifying glass, Calttrans looks like two eggs.

deb said...

It sure looks like 2 eggs doesn't it.

paula eagleholic said...

Boy, they really do need more fluff there at Caltrans...

Mits said...

any way to get that Caltran to full size, Deb?

floralgirl said...

Egg roll our nest-

wvgal_dana said...

RC you'll get like us dizzy watching Norfolk (NBG) lol

ROCKINGCIRCLER said...

LIB TRYING TO GET COMFORTABLE--OR MAYBE JUST DECIDING WHERE TO PUT ALL OF THE FLUFF

paula eagleholic said...

Can def see 2 at Caltrans...

Mits said...

yikes, eagle dropped out of the sky onto the eggs at Caltran...their cam is a little herky jerky too.

paula eagleholic said...

I've tried, Mits. Haven't been able to ...

Mits said...

me too, Paula....

deb said...

I can't either, I wish we could, such a little bitty screen.

Costume Lady said...

Megan, Suz and I would like to know if you know anything about planting MILKWEE SEED. I have tried planting the seeds we got at NCTC, last Fall, but nothing is happening. I'm thinking they may need to be strattified. What do you think? ( I have them in the house under a flourescent light).

Red said...

I'll welcom RC back to even though I don't rememeber her but my memory is not what it used to be.
Also my memory is not what it used to be. lol

Mits said...

MY TURN....MY TURN...

Red said...

I just got back from Walmart. Little Debbie's stock just went up. lol

floralgirl said...

You mean milkweed that you harvested from the wild, Wanda?

Mits said...

HMMM, looking around the sky

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Megan.

floralgirl said...

Here Wanda- see if this helps-
growing milkweed

floralgirl said...

I have lots of wild milkweed that grows in my yard, I grow the annual variety from seed and that's where I find most of my monarch caterpillars.

ROCKINGCIRCLER said...

THANKS RED---REALLY ENJOY THIS AND MY KIDS LOVE THE SITES!!

Mits said...

even putting sticks on her back, does not work

Mits said...

get up lazy bones.

floralgirl said...

MY live feed was frozen- did an eagle fly out of the nest?

Mits said...

both have been there,

paula eagleholic said...

nOPE, STILL 2 OUR NEST

Costume Lady said...

I found a really good article on the PROPAGATION OF MILKWEED SEEDS, Megan. Have sent it to Suz:)

Mits said...

poof 1

floralgirl said...

Oh ,never mind ,I see that both were there, so much fluff I couldn't even see the other on the egg cup behind eagle. Now I just see one on the still pic.

Costume Lady said...

THANKS, MEGAN... that is the same article I just found. It's very thourough.

ROCKINGCIRCLER said...

COMPUTER GIVING ME FITS--MIGHT BE TIME TO UPGRADE TO A NEWER ONE

Mits said...

the old sticks on the back trick, didn't work.

floralgirl said...

Yep, that's a great site Wanda, lots of monarch info.

ROCKINGCIRCLER said...

LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE PLANNING FOR SOME NOT SO NICE WEATHER---

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Sticks and fluff did not even faze that eagle! :)

Mits said...

I know, Sharon.

Mema Jo said...

Lunch here in the valley
Rain could come in this pm
BBILW

floralgirl said...

There's a big patch of rain, it looks like most of it is going above us into PA. The bottom of it looks like it might hit us with some showers.

hedgie said...

Hi, gang. Haven't finished catching up yet, but did want to say that you can drag and drop the pop-up pic to get the full scene.
Hi, RC! Welcome back.

deb said...

Lib needs to sit on her like the BWE eagle does.

I am off the let the dogs enjoy the snow free bike trails. I have towels ready to go, in case they get muddy feet.

BBL

hedgie said...

Well, I guess I lied! It doesn't work anymore! It was fine over the weekend...wonder what changed? Yes, 75% is mighty small!

Mits said...

do you have IE, Lynn?

floralgirl said...

Jim mentioned erlier having problems with the Blackwater cams- I can't get the pages to open at all- anyone else tried?

hedgie said...

Daughter just called...youngest gd is home sick...oh, no...she's supposed to be in the spelling bee tomorrow evening. We are a bit afraid that this may be a psychological sore throat and fever, because she doesn't WANT to be in the bee!! First episode she's had since tonsils came out two years ago!

Mits said...

no go here, either, Megan

ROCKINGCIRCLER said...

INSTEAD OF 75% TRY CUSTOM SETTINGS AT BOTTOM AND GO TO 85% IS A LITTLE BETTER AND LEAVES ALL OF THE NEST IN SCREEN

ROCKINGCIRCLER said...

ME EITHER WITH BW---THOUGHT IT WAS COMPUTER

ROCKINGCIRCLER said...

HELLO, HEDGIE--

hedgie said...

Rain has started here...light, so far.

Anonymous said...

Howdy do everyone!

hedgie said...

YEs, Mits, IE here.

hedgie said...

Hi, Danelle!

Anonymous said...

hedgie said...

Okay, RC, that worked --big difference between 75 and 85!

Hi floralgirl!

Anonymous said...

Sorry if I missed somebody!

floralgirl said...

I just don't see where you adjust the settings, so I'm sticking with my own pop up which works ok for me-

paula eagleholic said...

MEGAN - THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT A DIFFERENT BROWSER - MY POP UP IN IE IS FINE, TOO. SORRY FOR THE CAPS, NEED THEM FOR WORK!

floralgirl said...

Ok, I'm not using the popup cam, just minimized a window to cam size to make my own- I just didn't see where you could change the settings.

Mits said...

my pop up has a custom button underneath the % buttons

Anonymous said...

well, back to work. ttyl.

floralgirl said...

I don't see that, but if I right click and check show all- it does show more of the nest pic. I had never tried that, just zoom.

wvgal_dana said...

Paula is there 2 eggs at Caltran? If so when was the other laid?

Mits said...

egg turning and plop

wvgal_dana said...

I had to take a panda nap before going to drs. appt. in a while.

Mits said...

what ever works, Megan:)

floralgirl said...

Yeah, well no matter what I use, it keeps freezing....

wvgal_dana said...

MEGAN is there 2 eggs at Caltrans?

NatureNut said...

No visible eagle in nest here at Park this AM, but a nice, fuzzy fox along side of road. At office a 3rd year juvie came up from river in a tree w/it's fish breakfast.

floralgirl said...

I thought I saw two earlier, Dana, when eagle was up. Must've laid it last night when she was rocking around on nest right before cam shut down for evening.

NatureNut said...

New Park Ranger stopped by & said she worked for a year at Atlanta Zoo-PANDA EXHIBIT!!!!! She was surprised that Live cam was down.She was there for Mei Lan's first year. Said they have some good sponsors like FedEx and Coca-Cola.

Mits said...

I emailed them about that when she was born, Loretta, didn't know they used them, but a lot has happened in the economy since then, and don't think they are so quick to do things like that anymore

floralgirl said...

Looks like it may be raining at the nest shortly. Most of the heavy rain is passing above us.

wvgal_dana said...

I checked Maine it says 2nd egg laid at Caltran Feb 9th 5:17pm Pacific time.

bbl

Mema Jo said...

Dauaghter just left - good morning with her.

Panda nap for just a few.......

magpie said...

Howdy Afternoon People, stopping through before heading to Morgan County...to pick up the grandson at school for some Valentine's Day shopping ♥

I should have mentioned this much earlier:

☺ In February of 2006, when the first egg of the season was laid, my good friend RockingCircleR - sent me the website for FWS and this Eagle Cam...Need I say More about How I got Hooked ?? Came about at a much-needed time in my life! Thanks Jenny ! ♥

TTFN - off for some kid fun ☺ xo

magpie said...

Oh yeah, I had No Idea how many great people I would meet...in person and on this Blog - and what fun and magic lay in store...and for that, I thank the Rest of You ♥ ♥

(awwwwwwwwwww.....☺)

hedgie said...

Margy, if you got hooked in late '06, how come you weren't on the blog until May of '08? See how much fun we missed out on? I joined in Apr., but had been watching cam since mid-Mar.

hedgie said...

Rain fairly steady now....tg not snow or ice!
CharlesTown branch of daughters' bank got robbed a little while ago. Scary...but luckily no weapon displayed. I think that with the economy the way it is, the chances of this happening will certainly increase.

floralgirl said...

Both our nest.

floralgirl said...

Eagle on eggs flew out- egg roll.

Mits said...

grey box now says "connecting to video server"....still takes as long to refresh and still freezes:(

Mits said...

BWE and O, back online

Mits said...

eagle on branch at NBG,,,,eale at Caltran pulling fluff closer to its body

Mits said...

Ceil, misses her computer, she has called me 4 times today.

floralgirl said...

What is wrong with her computer? Verizon service is messed up?
I've never seen that grey box with the connecting to server message until today.

Mits said...

Verizon says it is in her area,,,,course the guy was from Pakistan, so what does he know....?

hedgie said...

What is Verizon saying, Mits?

floralgirl said...

What exactly is that supposed to mean- in her area- if Verizon is her server they should be able to tell her what is wrong and how they are ging to fix it.

Mits said...

sunny and almost 60° at snowman cam....warmer there, than here....we are 57°...tomorrow supposed to be 68° here.

Mits said...

:), that they can't fix it, and they don't know when it will be fixed....I have been reading on some help forums, that there were problems with verizon DSL up and down the east coast yesterday.

Mits said...

mine has been acting weird the last few days...it is a pain in the butt.

Mits said...

yes, today is the 1st day I have seen the grey screen, at first it was blank, then the message about connecting to the server came on late a.m.

Mits said...

cam pic is nice and clear, too bad it is frozen:(

Mits said...

catran eagle up and turning eggs

Mits said...

lot of the stork nest are coming back online....beakspeake has the addresses.

Mits said...

update from BRS..........

Arrived at pickup, load wont be ready until later tonight

paula eagleholic said...

My Verizon fixit guy was in the Philipines!

paula eagleholic said...

Decided to try the live feed...stayed up for about 90 seconds! Whoopee.

Mits said...

paula eagleholic said...

Holey Moley...live feed staying on...

Mits said...

Last updated: February 10, 2009

Mits said...

finally after 3 trys it came on.

paula eagleholic said...

My live feed is choppy and slow, but it's hanging in there. Belle is basically not moving much at all, she almost looks hot!

paula eagleholic said...

Cute pic of Tai, Mits.

Costume Lady said...

I noticed that update of Feb. 10 also, Helen. Wonder what is going on?

Costume Lady said...

Our MORNING RAY OF SUNSHINE, has not come on yet. She must still be having issues with her 'puter. A computer can be you best friend or your worst enemy:):(

T-Bird said...

hello everyone

T-Bird said...

I hope all is well with my fine eagle friends.

Costume Lady said...

Hi, Thelma, haven't seen you for a while:)

T-Bird said...

floralgirl said...

Hey Thelma...
You're right Wanda, Norma is missing again.

T-Bird said...

where has Norma gone to?

Costume Lady said...

Thelma, lurking is good, too. Sometimes I just sit at this computer and watch the cams and check in to see if anyone has seen something spectacular. If not, I
get back to my work:)

floralgirl said...

Norma must still be having computer issues.

Costume Lady said...

paula eagleholic said...

Shoot, missed the last roll.

Mema Jo said...

I am drinking a late 3:00 half cup of coffee! I had left my live feed on and it is still going strong. May when we earlier had that grey screen before cam pic appeared was when they were "Last updated: February 10, 2009"

Anyone see anything on that last position change - I see the wing being used to cover all. We had an earlier shower but I best read to see what has been happening.

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, my page says last update was Feb 5

paula eagleholic said...

Egg at Norfolk!!:):):)

movin said...

i JUST looked at Norfolk, and the female is on the nest and I see something white, which could be an egg beneath her!


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Look quick!!

paula eagleholic said...

LOl she is snapping at flies!!

movin said...

Yep, it's definitely an egg!


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

glo said...

We have a new thread and not sure if any one has said . Norfolk has an egg

floralgirl said...

Cool!! That zoom cam feature is awesome. No guessing if there is an egg there.

paula eagleholic said...

Maybe she'll have the 2nd one on Valentine's Day ♥

Costume Lady said...

Hooray for NBG...Buddy will have a little brother or sister:)

glo said...

ok well you can tell I did not take time to read back. Just got up from a nap before heading out to work. Anyway do head over to new thread.

Red said...

Paula, I think Jo is talking about the update date thats shown below the live cam view.

paula eagleholic said...

Gotcha, Red!

New thread is up!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Gonna go get a shower and head out for a bit. See you beautiful people in a bit!!
