Happy Monday!

paula eagleholic said...

You Rock, Dave!

grannyblt said...

Well, I don't know if this post will show up or not. Sorry if I repeat myself.
Hi to everyone in EAGLELAND. I haven't really been MIA, just not posting.
I have yet to see the three eggs. They may hatch before I catch sight of all three.

Mema Jo said...

Thank you Dave for the heads up on the new thread - Thanks Steve - sure is cold out there with that wind.

A lot of the cams aren't up/running this early hour (to the mid & west coast)

Mema Jo said...

BOTH OUR EAGLES IN OUR NEST

deb said...

Look now, Lynne. I think I was too slow.

YEP!!! DEB!---I have found my way & I pray that BLUEFIELD SHARON read my last message!!!---

grannyblt said...

Missed it again.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' --INDIANA DAVE---Great to see you!!!!----& thanks for calling us all over!!----Have missed you!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Normabyrd, I certainly did read your last message. It is sooo good to see you on here!! No shoveling for me today.

floralgirl said...

Morning all:) it is cold here, 28° but the wind is still gusting up to about 20 mph and makes it feel like 19°
Maine was hit with a nor'easter, so that's probably why the cams are down, heard over 12,000 were without power.

Mits said...

yes was following the storm yesterday.

It is so good to have our sunshine back!!

grannyblt said...

Ah yes, Normabyrd. I am HAPPY. And the song sparrow has been signing all morning in my front hedge. In fact all of the birds are more vocal this past week, even though we still have snow.

normabyrd said...

WHOA PAULA!----It is a "COLD ONE" here in too!---A SWEATS & TURTLE NECK day!!-----

magpie said...

Okay - Norma - are we on at the same time? I was up late and slept in....I want to get in on the Norma Vibrations while they are here!

Good Morning Everyone, Good to see so many ! ☺

normabyrd said...

MY!--MY!---How did I miss YOU??---BEAUTIFUL MEGAN!!---you are our FAVORITE!!!---It's CHILLY here in the MTS too!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning Margy. It sure is good to see so many on this morning.

grannyblt said...

Gotta run folks, Mom needs to use the phone....the "joys" of dial-up.

magpie said...

I knew it was just a matter of time...the Gobblers are at the Pa site...can the hens be far behind ? They might not show up for a couple of refreshes, unless it is just too cold for their feeties, to hang around long.

Hi Sharon !!! ♥ ♥ ☺ ☺

floralgirl said...

Hey Margy- did you see this?
COSMIC COINCIDENCE: What are the odds? On Tuesday, Feb. 24th, Saturn and Comet Lulin will converge in the constellation Leo only 2 degrees apart. At the same time, Comet Lulin will be making its closest approach to Earth--the comet at its best!-- while four of Saturn's moons transit the disk of the ringed planet in view of backyard telescopes. Oh, and the Moon will be New, providing dark skies for anyone who wishes to see the show.
The best time to look is around 1 a.m. Tuesday morning (your local time) when the planet-comet combo ascend high in the southern sky. To the unaided eye, Comet Lulin looks like a faint patch of gas floating next to golden Saturn. Point your backyard telescope at that patch and you will see a lovely green comet with a double tail.

normabyrd said...

WHOA!! MARGY!!---You were on the other thread!!----Got a bit confused---LOST!---we had the SPLIT----then "INDIANA DAVE" arrived with a new thread!!!---DELIGHTED to see you!!!----You are a 'bundle of JOY'!!------

hedgie said...

Hi from Hedgesville, too, where it is also quite cold and windy and cloudy.
Nice story about the pelican...hope it CAN re-adapt to the wild. Seems to me it would be better to take it to a sanctuary or zoo.
Sharon, how are you feeling? Can you feel anything from the "vac" set-up?
Did Andrew get home from his girlfriends? Not to worry about school calendar, SIssy....until they change the law--hopefully soon if Manchin has his way--they can't go beyond june 7th!

magpie said...

Howdy Howdy Norma, I know you have been "back" for a few days, but I have been MIA during the daytime and could only catch up with you "after hours..."

No No No, YOU are the Bundle of Joy !

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, the florist just called. Somebody sent me flowers and the hill is too bad to get them to me. I told them maybe in a little while! YEAH - FLOWERS!!!

magpie said...

Megan Yes, did see this, on your email....Thanks! Unfortunately, I am going to be in Annandale VA, with NO Horizon...but will keep all the other info tagged and might catch a sighting somewhere, somehow...

magpie said...

Aaaah, flowers, Sharon, could not happen to a nicer gal! ☺

floralgirl said...

Well, ok, Sharon- you tell that florist to get on her boots or snowshoes and hike those flowers up the hill....
Darn, Margy, I am gonna try to check out the skies.

magpie said...

Well, folks, I have to start getting things ready here, am going to Annandale Va, to visit an older sister, then we will head over to Ruxton, Md (not far from Baltimore)Tuesday to visit our oldest sister...will be passing through Washington and Frederick County so I will holler at ya' Megan and Jo!
Hope I don't get a white out on the interstate passing through. Mits - thanks for the weather forecast...
Will check in one time before I leave around noon, then will not be back until sometime last Tuesday night....
How are we looking for Thursday Lunch Bunch ?? ☺

normabyrd said...

MEGAN & MARGY---When did you all pick up the info about the stars, etc.-----I think that is so interesting!!!

Mema Jo said...

We're looking good for the 26th Lunch Bunch.
Safe journeys & happy visits
See you!

hedgie said...

Too bad Maine is down...would like to see their blizzard...bet that nest is swaying.

hedgie said...

Jo, I haven't been up in PA on the interstates in a long time, but remember when the days when their rest stops were nothing more than pull-off areas w/out even a port-a-pot---the turnpike was the only place that had amenities!

magpie said...

Norma - I think the sky ladies will post it for you, and even if we don't get out in the elements, many wonderful pictures and info to drool over...

Hedgie: I will holler at Annandale for you.... !

Okay, Mema, I am getting my Eagle Appetite Ready! Thanks! xoxo Please do put me on the List !

TTFN xoxo ☺

Costume Lady said...

Well, Margy, it looks like it is a GO for lunch Thursday..but if your not getting back until LAST TUESDAY, I guess you wont be there;)

floralgirl said...

Norma-www.spaceweather.com is a great site-

normabyrd said...

MARGY----How wonderful!----ENJOY your vacation!!!---WHOA!---WILL MISS YOU---But have FUN! FUN! FUN!

magpie said...

Oh, Mits, I also like that extended Nest forecast for Thursday: Sunny and in the 50's?
Wahoo! Or is it, BooYah! xo


OOOPS - you are right Wanda! Make that Late Tuesday ! ☺

floralgirl said...

whoa, I forgot about lunch this Thursday...so far the weather gurus predict a nice day Thurs.

hedgie said...

Have a nice time on your visits, Margy. Say hello to my stompin' ground for me! Call me Tues. night or Weds., and we'll finalize Thurs. schedule!

hedgie said...

Sharon, how nice to get flowers...IF you get the flowers!! I agree...tell her to hike! Remember one time after a three foot blizzard when we waited a week for the big equipment to come in from Romney to open our road, and it was only what we called a pig-path...not big enough for more than a single vehicle...the UPS man walked in 1 1/2 mi. to deliver a model airplane to a neighbor! That's above and beyond. Would never happen in this day and age!

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Megan, Thursday is going to be the nicest day of this week. Sunny and 56°:)

normabyrd said...

HEY HEDGIE!!--I remember those restroom days!!-----WAY BACK---preg. & had to stop every other mile!!---I still remember a park near ELKINS---had an outside JOHN-----Would make BILL stand out side door!----AFRAID OF SNAKES!!---ho!

Mema Jo said...

Hedgie - when I traveled thru PA on Rt 81
they had very nice rest stop facilities for travelers. The rest rooms were very clean and the snack/drink machines were always filled.
PA is such a long state to go thru that I
appreciated those things.

deb said...

DIVERS

normabyrd said...

I just thought!!-----MARGY won't get to visit with anyone!!----She will have her head out the window---WAVING---WAVING to everyone!!--ho!!
She is so CUTE!!-----ho!

deb said...

I caught them as they are swimming away, not sure if any one will have time to see them.

deb said...

Darn, all my captures saved as blank pictures.

deb said...

Suzanne says there is a guy on a cell phone on the snowman cam.

deb said...

I need to type faster today, too slow for anyone else to see the cell phone guy.

normabyrd said...

CURSES!!---MISSED THEM DEB!!----I was watching SAT. & there were tons of blue fish---but no DIVERS!!
thanks--!

deb said...

I saw the backs of two divers, Norma, first I have seen in a long time.

deb said...

DIVERS, INCOMING!

normabyrd said...

HEY DANA!!----Hope you are feeling better!----The DONKEYS are out again!!----(they are wondering where you are) ho!---Take care---

hedgie said...

Jo, it was back in '84 that we went up 81 as far as it goes....and in PA there were no facilities! And many small towns w/ no fast-food places...just grimy gas stations!

deb said...

Osprey in HH.

normabyrd said...

DEB!---SAW part of his body!---thanks----

deb said...

They didn't stick their faces in front of the cam, just swam right on by.

Mits said...

%#$^*^ blogger cop:(

Mits said...

lots of pretty fish:)

magpie said...

I have taken to hit hightlight and "copy" on my messages before posting, then if the Cop gets me, I don't have to start all over again!

Halfway through packing, going so slowly...unfortunatly can not take the time to view all the great things you are talking about...

Hi more people, including DEB Missed Glo earlier, hope she is just enjoying cam life to the Hilt today ! xoxo

normabyrd said...

Thanks---for reminding me!---I forget about the HH site!!!!----COOL!

Mema Jo said...

Hedgie - the facilities have been upgraded BUT NOT THE ROADS !!! lol

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Wow, went exercising and ya'll left me over there!!! But, I FOUND YOU!!

normabyrd said...

DEB!----When we first started watching the DIVERS----They seemed to be checking the windows, etc.!!
Always made me think they could see us too!!!

Lolly said...

Good morning eagle friends!!! Guess what...I am back up at Laurel's. I was due back up here but later in the day, but I was up at 5:30 this morning (Ohhhh!!!) to drive up here. Laurel is in Arizona til Thursday at a reading workshop. She called at 10:30 last night(scaring me to death). She had driven one car to a friends house and left it there and she had both set of keys for the minivan in her purse. Joey could not get the kids to school or make a 10:30 meeting this morning. Grandmommy to the rescue! Boy, does she owe me!

I still had company at the house, but they were leaving this morning. We had a great visit.

So, NORMA, I followed your directions and hugged a child this morning...even kissed a couple. :)

normabyrd said...

SISSY!---Glad you are still exercising!!----Bet it helps---I know it makes me feel good!!!

hedgie said...

That's for sure, Jo! I think their roads are worse than WV!
Margy, I do that, too, when I write a long post!!.

ATLANTA MONDAY UPDATE.....

Monday, February 23
As I’m sure some of you have heard or noticed, Yang is entering breeding season and Xi Lan has become more active in the dayroom. This created an interesting situation this morning. In breeding season, males go on long walking bouts, which we describe as “locomoting.” During this time, Yang wanders all over his exhibit, from corner to corner, occasionally passing by the glass between the habitat and the dayroom. While I was watching Xi Lan play on top of his structure, I noticed right at the moment that Yang passed by the glass, Xi Lan stopped and stared. His facial expression was literally, “Who is that?”

In the wild, male adult pandas generally wouldn't come across their offspring. Mothers are very protective and will keep their cubs away from any other adult giant panda. Xi Lan didn’t get down from the structure, but instead stayed and watched Yang walk for a bit more. After a minute or two, Xi Lan became bored with Yang’s locomoting behaviors and continued to play on the wooden structure like a kid on a jungle gym.

NORFOLK EAGLE NEST is AWESOME!!!!---seems to be swaying in the wind & I think SHE/HE seems to be scanning the skies for 'their help' to arrive!!!

magpie said...

Okay - Lolly to the rescue once again. Those late night phone rings are frightening all right...glad things are okay Lolly

Time to turn things off here, Fairy has done what little magic she could manage on short notice.

Hope the days are full of your favorite things, friends, including lots of wildlife, family, friends, and good health!
xox TTFN xoxo ♥

Lolly said...

Going to the grocery store. Have things to do, since I have a SIL and two grand grandsons to care for this week. Have already picked up and made beds. Woman's work is never done. LOL

Hey, Lolly, moms/grandmas are so good!!! That's one of the plusses of retirement....often being available to bail them out!

Mits said...

BRS has moved....

Mema Jo said...

Lolly - it always seems different when you do all those things for someone else.
Not the same when you need to do your own work! lol

paula eagleholic said...

3 EGGS IN VIEW!!

normabyrd said...

LOLLY---At my house---GRAND-KIDS want MAC'N CHEESE & CHICKEN NUGGETS!!----

Mits said...

don't know where he is going but BRS is on the road again.

Mits said...

maybe lunch?

Mits said...

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Very wet eagle at HI.

movin said...

There are a couple of recent reports on Nethy. Seems she has decided to move further south (finally).

Nothing on Buddy yet though.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

floralgirl said...

Both our nest.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I am so jealous of ya'll getting to go to the nest this week!!

normabyrd said...

HELEN---I am glad you mentioned the FREEZE----I have had that too many times this am!!!!

floralgirl said...

Switch and an egg roll...

normabyrd said...

Just discovered BLACKWATER is "blue"!------

paula eagleholic said...

Belle back on duty :)

paula eagleholic said...

YO Norma, my BW was a pretty shade of red earlier!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' HANDSOME JIM!!----How's your weather???---I am still in the 20s!---Hasn't warmed up much?---ho!

hedgie said...

Well, have found out from the computer whiz at daughters' bank, that I am not doing anything wrong with this wireless router. He says that PC is not configured for wireless w/o getting an adaptor. However, I can hook up laptop by itself and just not be able to get online with PC until I get the adaptor!
So, after I clean out the woodstove and get the fire going again, I am going to shut down PC, hook up the router and try the laptop! Wish me luck, friends!!!

normabyrd said...

PAULA!----I noticed earlier---The MD WOMEN beat DUKE yesterday!!
77--59!

normabyrd said...

HEDGIE----I WISH YOU LOTS OF LUCK!!!!----YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!---I couldn't do that if my life depended on it!!

movin said...

Mornin, Norma...it's about 60° with some light rain this morning in So Cal.

Not too bad... And I "think" it's going to get better this afternoon.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

normabyrd said...

That temp sounds good to me!!---ENJOY YOUR "WARM" DAY!! ho!

movin said...

Sounds about right, Hedgie. I don't have the wireless myself, but a couple of days ago I was configuring a new desktop on-line to see how much it would cost. And one the major configuration sections was on wireless boards (or cards).

I don't think the board costs too much if you have an electronics supply place near you.

If you are going to use the puter for your TV (as in entertainment center), it's got to be configured for that too.

P.S. Even with discount, the total was enough to make me think about it for awhile.



C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

normabyrd said...

SISSY!!----I AGREE!!---Maybe we can go next time & we can take SHARON too!!!

floralgirl said...

IS it an older computer? I bought a wireless router for mine and hooked it right up, I didn't need anything extra.

movin said...

My computer is getting to the age where you might think "it's time," but I replaced a cooling fan about a year and a half ago, and the puter just keeps on truckin'.

"Should I get a newer, faster one now.............??" That's the question I'm asking myself.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

floralgirl said...

Nice glimpse of the eggs...

Mits said...

lol...missed them again:)

hedgie said...

Thanks, Jim. Megan, my PC is a 2007 model HP...I got it in Feb. of 2008. (Notice in config stuff that it was loaded in spring of '07. This guy was the one who came and moved everything over from my old one, so GUESS he remembers what it has/hasn't.
Well, here goes.........bye for now!

movin said...

That's right, Megan. It all depends on the level of machine you got. Some are configured for about everything at the factory, but some are less fully enabled to cut costs and the retail price of the basic computer.

And of course, older ones like mine were lucky to have heard of the TV card when they were made.

If anybody is getting a new one, make sure it has more than enough RAM (more than you think you will need). Everything is using a lot of resources now. Even your basic Windows will use twice as much as the one before. AND we are all using a lot of graphics on these nestcams, which uses a lot more RAM. It's cheaper to have it added when you buy it, and although it's easy to install if you're the type to get inside the machine at all, many don't want to do anything of that kind.

normabyrd said...

need food!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

That Norfolk cam is making me seasick!

Mits said...

BRS...update...

Slow Freight so waiting for next trip in Gap, PA (0 Miles)

Mauley said...

Good afternoon dear ones, I pray everyone is well and happy to eagle watch. mauley donna

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hello Big Sis!! I was just thinking about you today. How are you?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Both eagles, our nest!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

What a regal couple they are!!

Mattie is bathing dogs, wet weenie dogs everywhere!!

Mema Jo said...

Wowsie Wowsie Wowsie

Just return from Vet - Picked up Marvin

Both in nest for me to see

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

You know, I was just thinking about last week when we were blogging from the ER. That was just really too cool!

Mema Jo said...

Oh Yeah! That was too cool and I pray
it never happens again! Great for an ER show though, wouldn't it be! lol

Mits said...

yeah, we want to do that again....NOT!

Mits said...

hello, Donna:)

Mema Jo said...

One eagle in our nest

hedgie said...

I'm back...but no laptop connection. Argh. Must just be that I'm too dumb! Any suggestions, Megan? Maybe a lobotomy?
Sissy, I bet Mattie is having loads of fun! LOL. Bathing one is enough for me! Does your little Buddy like bathtime?

Mits said...

MAINE #1 cam back up, snowing.

Mits said...

can hear the eagles calling at MAINE.

floralgirl said...

Doesn't it have installation book or disc that takes you through step by step, Lynn?

Mema Jo said...

Hedgie - I will let you know if Aaron is coming with me on Thursday & if he is I
am sure he would be able to give you a solution to your laptop problem

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Poor Marvin. Had his masculinity removed! :)

Mits said...

LOL.. had to go back to see who Marvin was, and if he needed a get well card:)

Mits said...

poor Ceil is still having computer issues:(

Mema Jo said...

Yes he did, Sharon! I am tired of checking the back door on cold winter nights at 2am or 4am! He is really a lovey dovey!
He is only a yr old so the vet said & he weighs 10 lbs.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

That is funny.

Well, they came to deliver my flowers and I had went to Sissy's. Then they said they couldn't get back up the hill and would deliver them tomorrow. I am going over there when Andrew gets home from school and get my flowers! Don't want to wait another day!

Mema Jo said...

Sure have been missing Ceil!
Wonder why she didn't keep her old computer hooked up until the new one was up/running. I am anxious to see if she
likes the new one once she uses it a while.

Mauley said...

Sharon, my heart's darling, I was thinking about you, too. I hear our Andrew has a girl friend. I am so excited. Does she meet our approval, because Andrew is such a fine young man. love donna

floralgirl said...

IS it still a Verizon issue with Ceil?

Mits said...

old computer is still up, Verizon does not know what is wrong with it, they have not been any help...said they would call her back today.

Mits said...

doesn't want to hook up the new one til she sees what is wrong with the old one..it was working for her son out in Oregon...she said it is a touch screen????

Mits said...

yes, Megan she thinks so, I told her to hook up the new one, it could just be her old puter...

Mema Jo said...

I guess the "touch screen" is going to be something once you get use to it!
I am waiting to get the "voice control"

I just can't imagine all these
advances... Advances that I'll never
be able to adapt to!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Me and Mattie really want a touch screen!!

Buddy is the funniest little dog. He still doesn't have much hair, so we bought him a sweater. He loves it, wears it all the time!!

Mits said...

I'm darn lucky I know where the on button is:)

deb said...

Maine 1 cam is back on.

Mits said...

she went to the office Sat and Sun to see if she could at least clear out her emails, but the office computer was down...they have comcast, she can't win.

hedgie said...

Yes, Megan...disc takes it to Wizard setup, which Hughesnet guy says I don't need, because Wizard is built into Windows. The Instructions part is about 60 pages long, and most is Greek to me.....will look through it again...but not holding my breath.

I can tell that my poor typing ability will be even worse with the laptop....it is SO small--it's a mini! It's like learning how to type all over again.

Sissy, you will be getting cute doxie email! How 'bout a pic of Buddy in his sweater!

Way to go, Sharon!!! Should have left a note on your door!

hedgie said...

Yes, Jo...will get some words of wisdom from Aaron! Daughter's co-worker will come, but he wants me to get that other part first. So will go back to Office Max after our Thursday fun!

Mema Jo said...

I am taking a break

Have to dream up some dinner

Also I am paying a few "early in the month of March' bills....

deb said...

Red-tailed Hawk nest in Tulsa, OK, home of Jay and Kay. They were both there earlier today.

deb said...

Oops, guess the link would help!

Jay and Kay

Mits said...

Lynn, is it a laptop, or notebook?

Mits said...

thanks for the red-tail link, Deb.

Mits said...

Tai Shan looks plumb tuckered out:)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Buddy is now posted!!

Mits said...

awww, isn't that cute:)

deb said...

I just got an update on my uncle. His weekend home visit went well. The widened doors and ramps worked well. The only problem is my aunt getting the wheelchair in and out of the car. I suggested putting the creative minds of my cousins to work and design a way so she doesn't have to lift the chair.

Mits said...

glad the visit went well:)

paula eagleholic said...

Cute pic, Sissy. I am still LOL at the thought of all those wet weenie dogs running around!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

She even bathed the cat!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

She is bucking for some money!

floralgirl said...

That sweater is sooo cute on Buddy:)

movin said...

Alas, this might be the first day of total separation of ZZ from Bai.

A few minutes ago they had camera C11 (not listed yet) indoors on ZZ eating fresh bamboo. And I recalled the blog had said that last week was the last step (75% separation).

I say "alas" because they are still so happy and playful when they are together. But obviously their lives must move on, and Bai may bear another little bear this year.

Anyway, I think ZZ is starting her life as a solitary Panda today..

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Oh Jim, that is so sad!! I hate that process!!

floralgirl said...

Lynn- you have mail.

ESSEX, Md. (AP) -

A pair of bald eagles is loving life near the runways of Martin State Airport in Essex.
But it's not the safest scenario, for pilots or the birds. So the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is evicting them.

Biologists plan to remove the nest and the tree limbs that support it on Tuesday. Craig Koppie of the Fish and Wildlife Service's Chesapeake Bay Field Office says because it's early in the nesting season, the eagles will have time to build a new nest or move to one they've used before.

A Fish and Wildlife Service spokeswoman says if the eagles have laid eggs already, the eggs will have to be destroyed. The agency has the authority to remove the nest and any eggs.

Bald eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940 but are no longer listed as a threatened species.

for some reason, this does not seem right to me, can't they wait, that is not the busiest airport around.

Mits said...

I'm not sure why SD is making such a big deal about this, must be they want the publicity, pandas are solitary animals, in the wild this would have happened long agao.

floralgirl said...

They should have adressed that issue as soon as they saw the eagles at the nest, so there would be no chance of eggs already there. Hope they have not laid any in the nest yet.

hedgie said...

Aw, Jim, that seems sad, even tho' a necessary part of life.

Sissy, what a cute sweater...with a cute weiner in it!!!

Mits.....what's the difference? I don't see anything that specifically says one or the other, but the book says "Inspiron Ultra Mobile Device".....duh!!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

That is wrong Mits!!! I don't understand why, if there are eggs, they can't wait until they fledge!!

Mits said...

I thought notebooks where the smaller ones, my lap-top is pretty big.

glo said...

Good afternoon. I am watching eagle cams almost to my hearts content. Maybe I already have one too many up. Couldn't get our live feed so settled or still but lost it too. Anyone else having cam problems?

Mits said...

can't remember the name of the guy I had a fight with about this, someone in MD, who was not concerned about a dead eagle or two....sure he has his grubby little hands in this.

Mits said...

no problems here.

hedgie said...

Can we start a protest, if there are eggs???? That's just not right. You're right, Mits, it's not like it's BWI or Reagan or Dulles!

glo said...

ok thanks Mits guess that means its time to reboot. And the eagle situation at Essex is a stinkin crime!!!!

Mits said...

and it is not like they have just found out about it either,,,jmho, some people are just plain stupid.

hedgie said...

This is 9x7...has a lid....whatever it is, it's portable, and charges/recharges w/ a plug and cord!!! LOL!

Mits said...

I just can't wrap my head around it, first you save them, then you destroy them....going to check and see if there is anything online at Baltimore TV stations....and another thing, they don't have time to rebuild a nest and lay eggs this year!grrrrrrr:(

Mits said...

just finding the same story on some TV stations, no videos, but I guess like the article says....this is Fish and Wildlife's call:(....

hedgie said...

Wonder what NCTC's feeling on this is? Steve...???? Care to comment?

They should have done that last fall...there isn't any time to build a nest for this season...

Mits said...

you know if we know this stuff, they know it, there is an article in USA Today about it....as I surf the web, other states have done this too, including destroying chicks...

Eagle in Maine 1 nest.

deb said...

I think it is stuck at Maine 1, no movement and lots of wind noise. Stuck with a pretty eagle sitting there.

Mits said...

that 's what I thought it sounded like, a notebook, I see people use them on the planes alot, take up much less space.

Mits said...

my Maine is moving.

Mits said...

still snowing and eagle is calling

Mits said...

beautiful site:)

deb said...

My picture is unstuck now, snow coming down.

Mits said...

deb said...

Darn, just gets to working and off goes the eagle.

deb said...
