GOOD MORNING PAULA AND MISS NORMA
Hope you are feeling bright and sunny, Norma.
Capt. Gene is frustrated this morning...furnace is not working and for the first time in our married life, he had to call a repairman. He used to repair furnaces, but he is not schooled in these new electronic furnaces:(
Can they come today, Wanda?
WOW! PAULA!---You are a 'HAPPY CAMPER' this am!!----I'm fine---How are you?----
Yes, Paula...he is Berkely Springs right now and is coming here when he is done there. Thank goodness...it is soooo cold in here. We have started a fire in the fireplace and I have a little ceramic heater here in my office.
We were certainly lucky to find someone to come this quickly, but he will probably want an arm and a leg and our first born great-grandchild:(
MORNING WANDA!!---I'm so SORRY!---I
hope GENE gets in touch with someone early today!!----(always on a weekend)!!
Do you remember the PBS Bald Eagle show that was just on not long ago???
Well that nest now has an eagle cam. It snowed over night but they have been there this week working on their nest...
The Decorah eagle cam in Iowa
Decorah Eagles Nest
Thanks Lori from the Maine forum!
Good Saturday a.m. everyone.
PAULA!!---Oh yeah -- I remember that program well!!----When I attempted to open---I get this: Need to add---"AXIX MEDIA CONTROL"----Should I do this?
Both at PH
Yes, Norma, it's OK to install Axis
I have a black screen witha red X in the corner. Paula, you started a firestorm...we are all whining now!:)
thanks, Paula, when you put that to full screen, feel like you are sitting in it.
MORNIN' HELEN!!---How are M&M?---
Wanda - did it ask you to install AXIS as well? Are you using XP or Vista...and what browser?
M&M's are doing fine, thanks for asking:)?
Bill Xam Cam
Got it Paula...and I thought it was cold in here!!
have been watching this cam for months, guy lives in a town house, has cams on all day and night, right now there is a hawk and red squirrel in the trees eyeing each other, at night he feeds the raccoons, Jo and I saw one last night, they are expecting snow, cam is in Michigan, probably not far from snowman cam
Good Morning I am coming in on the new thread - I haven't read the earlier comments! I am watching RTH hawks all over the cams. Now I need to check out all the eagle cams...
I may be gone for a while!
Mits - that cam is great - I love his comments off to the right! Harry the hawk is still there in the trees...
good morning MITS, Mema Jo and Normabyrd
the guy does have a sense of humor, especially at night with the menu for the raccoons....Hello Thelma, how are you?
Hello Thelma! Good Saturday morning to you! What are you getting into today?
Thanks for that site Paula
That is some kind of COLD SITTING
Eagle just went Poof..
Oh yes - Deb is out looking for the swans
Exchange our nest?
Eagle at new Decorah cam...
gone at Decorah, IA
My live feed was frozen
Just put up Still Cam & see that Belle has changed position - guess I missed it
all happening!
PAULA!!---Thanks!---I have had the EAGLES from the PBS show on forever!!----WONDERFUL PICS---BOTH EAGLES THERE MOST OF THE TIME!!----
Phone call from Germany
Gals are all doing well!
glad they keep in touch, Jo:)
MORNIN' JO!!---I have been watching the THE IOWA EAGLES forever!!---Couldn't figure out what they were doing there?---NEST was covered in snow!!---JUST TOO BEAUTIFUL!!!
Beautiful day so far for Lolly to have guests and for Loretta to be out & about with her visiting daughter to do all that sight seeing!
Praying that Sharon is comfortable
and that Sissy has rested up!
new view at the Ecuador hummer feeder
MORNIN' T-BIRD!!---Any news from BLUEFIELD SHARON?----Pray things are getting better for her!!!---LOVE to SISSY too!!!
Hey guys-while our eagle is sitting in that position, how can you tell if it is Liberty or Belle?
Lib looks short in the nest, Belle overflows.
This is another blog - very elaborate about the Bird Cams Around the World
They cover our NCTC nest - great pics
NCTC coverage on other forum
so this is Lib?
boy they really captured some great shots, Jo.
NORFOLK EAGLE on nest!!!---I didn't realize they have 3 EGGS!!---HOORAY!!----Praying all goes well for the little REBELS!!---ho!!
Normabyrd, Sharon is healing and I think Bev is rested up.
Hi all.
That is the ever ongoing question, Thelma! Paula is the best at figuring out who is who!! The cam distorts sizing so that unless they are side by side, it is really hard to distinquish! There is something about the V of the neck feathers, but I haven't figured it out yet, either!!
CALTRAN does not seem to be working this a.m.
Thanks T-BIRD---That is good news!
Maine cam is clear with a really different view
Big Rig Steve is on the road again, somewhere is Tenn.
signing off for a while-later

Both parents are standing on PH nest ... birds are singing in the background.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Both were at our nest, but it looks like a changeover. If you hurry, you can see the eggs.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
The two at PH are into serious body contact and mock pecking over where to put some sticks, etc.
I think they are closer to laying eggs than I suspected.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Watching Two Harbors. She was turning egg(s) and ventilating the nest bowl ... I could only detect her turning one egg.
While that was going on, Dad flew by ... probably heading for the 'ole fishing hole.'
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Empty nest at West End, but an adult eagle just overflew it.

EAGLE laying in nest at Hornby Island
from wide view you can see both eagles at Hornby
HI eagle has a feather stuck in her nostril
ZZ and Bai are back together today, and they are playing together ... and apart for ZZ.
They just "met" on the walking circuit and engaged in a mock wrestling match.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
They're pretty happy to be together again, but according to the Zoo officials schedule, they will be separated permanently before much longer.
Will Bai give birth to another cute little bundle of fur this year?? That's the hope.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
You know, when Pandas play, they act just like humans.
They're still at it in San Diego.

Jim
I've been out in the yard this afternoon...nice day out there for February...gotta hit the shower, feed the dogs and head out. Hope everyone has a nice evening...
Catch ya'll later!

BRS update....
Where is BigRigSteve?
OK, my laptop has crashed 10 times today.
Windows Vista is a piece of garbage (as many of you know).
If you get to see my cam at all, you are lucky today.
If we are full, visit the videos, galleries, and the rest of our trucking adventures!
Welcome, & thanks for riding along!

Nest Update
02/21/09:
One of the eagles bagged a Canada goose, which is a rather large bird for the eagles.
It's possible the goose was sick or old, thus making it easier to catch.
I am home, have to feed dogs and start dinner. We found 10 swans, I think they are all trumpeters, but they are hard to tell apart. More later! I see the new sites from today. Decorah, IA and some mans backyard.
OK cam #2 has changed views
Good evening everyone. Had a very long shift but wanted to quickly say Hi and thanks to those who know who they are :).
no mardi gras parade yet.....
Deb, glad you saw the swans:)
Speaking of Mardi Gras...wonder if Jo wore her 4 strands of purple beads to the wedding?:) Tee Hee
I had a few Mardi Gras customers today and they bought MANY beads! And also, a Genie costume. That should help pay the furnace repairman. Bless his heart. I couldn't believe he came here today...thought we'd have to wait til Monday. It was a minor problem but a major fee. Worth every penny to get the heat back on!
Deb, do you ever dream about flying?:) You are a lucky lady to experience all that you do. And we are glad of that because you share it all with us:)
yep, got to have that heat, Wanda
Wouldn't that be fun to soar with the birds, Wanda!
Not only did we see the swans, we saw tons of geese and ducks. Lots of Cedar Waxwings, Tree Sparrows (so pretty with their bi-colored beak), Robins, Crows, Kestrels, Red-tails and so very many eagles. We couldn't get close to the eagles, darn it all, the roads were gated shut at the WMA. :( Mary counted 45 eagles in about 10 trees. As far away as we were, she is sure she missed some.
sounds like a great day, Deb:)
It was a good day. I am tired, though, and have a sore throat and burning eyes. I think it is all allergy related, tree pollen is high and the wind is blowing it around. I am loading pictures now, they won't be ready for a while yet.
Awesome update on Mason:
Mason's Update
Nice way to say Good Evening, Folks ♥
Belle is up !
Was.....
Hi, Margy!
My pictures are ready.
what wonderful news for Mason and his family:) thanks for the update Margy.
Hi gang. Been a long day of doing lots of little things....and still spinning my wheels on the router. Going to have to get a pro in I fear. Sure it won't be as expensive as Wanda and Gene's furnace repair!
I have nine deer milling around right now. At least 2 BIG bucks and 2 big does. They sure love that corn...but some fighting going on, which I don't like. Also a raccoon trying to insert itself into the mix.
Deb, you have robins there already and tree pollen????? THink you are going to really have an early spring. Can't believe how lucky you are to have SO MANY eagles!!!
When I first started on the update, I thought they meant, now, like today, then I finished reading it and caught on.
home run again Deb....just gorgeous:)
Glo, hope your l-o-n-g shift was peaceful. Bet your are tired. When do you go back?
Margy, how was your shift today? When I was able to listen in, sounded a little busy.
HI Everyone, so good to "see" you ☺ ♥
I see lots of new cams and sites listed today, will have to bookmark the entire days's posts!
That is awesome news, Mits from the Ellsworth family...
sounds so exciting and encouraging.
Well, Deb, I am chomping at the bit and here I go, to your pictures...back in a few magical moments...☺
Lynn, these are migrating eagles, they follow the ducks and geese so they have a good food source for their journey!
Deb, pics are loverly! Love the "tufted" duck!
Interesting report on Mason....can't help but wonder if Bryn Mawr feels that he's reached max recovery...will keep praying that there is more to come...maybe home environs will spur that to happen.
I agree with Mits, Home Run, in fact, a Grand Slam!
Great pictures, Deb - do I see maybe one Tundra Swan in there, the one with the straight neck? Or is that just a straight neck pose from a Trumpeter...
Love the Sleeping Geese, and those domestic Geese are pretty handsome.
xo ☺
Margy, I studied the pictures so long and can't decide. I should be able to see a little yellow on the Tundra, besides the straight neck, but I sure don't see any. I want one to be a Tundra, so I can add it to my list.
The Tundra is also 10 lbs. lighter, they all look the same size to me??
Hi Hedgie
Yes, there were some busy spurts, several individuals spent their last day on earth and their first day in heaven today, all medical things.
Glo: 18 hours, that is a looonng shift....Hope you are settled into YOUR ROOST for the night...
and Mema is just dancing the night away I guess...☺
Deb I hope you will be feeling A-OK soon..
Back in a few, checking some swans out on Thayer's Guide....
after reading your comments Deb...
I am fine, Margy, more irritating than anything--just too much wind today.
Okay then, Deb glad to hear that, wind is so bothersome!
Yes, I think, Trumpeters they are!
Thanks....there's still plenty of migration time to come, though ☺
Speaking of heat, Wanda
Glad you got your little roost all warm and cozy....
Wonderful that someone could make a house call today, and from Berkeley Springs at that!
My heat in the Blazer is great, but then I ended up with a leak in the radiator and problem with the thermostat! Arrgh! Just coincidence, but the mechanic cut me some breaks....still, bye bye some of my tax refund :(
I think I will just get a bicycle! xo
Got me some new Moose treats from a favorite sister today....a finger puppet, Large Moose cookie cutter, and a few other specialites....maybe I should rename this place the Moose Roost ! ☺
Nice buck at Pix PA while it lasts..
a four-point..haven't seen that one there anytime recently.....
sorry, math is wrong, he has six points at least...
thought so! I think one of the bucks at Pix now has lost one side's worth of his antlers...
Pretty deer, there are two bucks there
from Scott Shalaway, Shed Hunting:
Some excerpts:
"Bucks shed their antlers after the rut. Antler shedding is affected by changing daylength. This stimulates the pineal gland to reduce the production of testosterone, which weakens the bond between antlers and skull and the antlers eventually drop."
"The shed season can run from December through March. Bucks in poor health or those worn out after an exhausting rut probably shed their antlers earlier than others."
And finally, he says that finding shed antlers can be as challenging as finding morel mushrooms.
There were other features of this article that were very interesting, as are all of his articles.
Shalaway's articles usually run in our Sunday newspaper, under his heading The Wild Side .
I believe he is from Marshall County, WV, near the PA border and Pittsburgh.
BWE does not exactly seem to be refreshing tonight...
Margy, any special occasion for your moose treats? You didn't slip in a birthay without telling us, did you???
No, Hedgie... not until July for me.
My sister lives in Massachusetts and there are sometimes some sigtings there. And for some reason, I just started collecting things Moose, and others have been so generous to contribute. I even have some flannel Moose Boxer Shorts! Several shirts, a pair of PJs, many several framed pics, and a bunch of stuffies! A rug, a lamp, coasters....and so on ad infinitum! ☺
" many several"...guess that means more than several.
By the way, saw the beautiful slender crescent moon this morning and an ISS Flyover. In the early early Sunday morning, with an unobstructed Eastern Horizon, the even more slender moon will be close to Jupiter and Mercury, I'll be up that early BUT I think the clouds are going to interfere...but maybe some of the rest of our Bloggers can look...
Holy Smokes!
Make that Moonie, Jupiter, Mercury AND Mars!
Oh Bother! It's late and time to head to the pillows and blankies, and maybe, two chapters of Firefight...
Best Saturday Night wishes to all, it's been fun! Bet Loretta is having a good time, and Paula too!
Peace, Love, and Prayers xo ☺ ♥
Good Night Liberty and Belle and the Egglets Three....
Wow, what a line-up! I think we are supposed to get snow by morning....but less than an inch from what they say...of course, forecasters have been wrong before.
I remember seeing alot of moosie stuff, Margy! Collections are so much fun!
Shuttle launch has been postponed a fourth time.....won't be until at least next weekend. Shucks!
G'night, Margy...sleep well...only one more say to go! "See" you tomorrow evening!
Sandman is calling to me a little early tonight, so I am going to listen to him:)
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Sorry we haven't heard from Sharon or Sissy...hope everything is going okay in Bluefield.
Me, too, Wanda...heading for tub and then calling it a day.
Jo must be having a great time at the reception!! Must have worn her dancing shoes!
Goodnight, fowl friends. Peace and prayers.
Night from me, also. Time for some sleep!
I am popping in to say Hi and then to turn right around and say Good Night.
Beautiful wedding & reception was so very nice - food, family, friends, music and lots of new people to meet.
Peaceful sleep & pleasant dreams...
Prayers for all!
(((hugs))) ♥ ♥ ♥

* Good Morning *
Nice wing stretch and some egg-tending, egg-rolling, wiggle and a plop, Starring Our Belle and the Three Little Egglets...
☺
:(
Too cloudy this morning for Moonie and the Three Little Planets....
Sayonara my Eagle Pals..
Hope you all have a wonderful day!
See you much much much later.
Norma:
I hope to be on here same time as you sometime Monday Morning ☺ Welcome Back !! We sure missed you xox ☺ ♥
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Just watched Belle turning her eggs...she has become an expert, does it so quickly, you only see the eggs for a moment. Still appx. 12 days to go before one of those eggs debuts a chicklet.
Happy Birthday to George Washington. My Dad shared this day with George for his birthday and if he were living, he would be 95.
I brought up this thread and the first thing I noticed was that our Normabyrd had been here!! LOVE YOU NORMABYRD AND HAVE MISSED YOU TERRIBLY!
Anyway, I am on the mend now I think. I have a lovely wound VAC connected to my belly now. The home health nurse said it would probably just take 3-4 weeks for it to heal. She will come on Monday, Wednesday and Friday to change the dressing. I am still on antibiotics are make me feel pretty yucky. Might call tomorrow to see if they will change it.
Good morning Wanda. My Aunt Bess' birthday was today too and she probably would be about 100 years old.
Good to have you on here with me this morning, Sharon:) 3-4 weeks seems like an awfull long time, but at least you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Not sure I could have held up as well as you have. You know ALL our prayers have been with you through all of this and will continue until your Doc says you are HEALED!
Yes, it is good to have Miss Norma back with us and feeling better. We do miss her when she is not on with us. She's our Morning Ray of Sunshine:)
You know Wanda, on just regular, normal days, I can feel the power of the bond we have on this blog but then during times of trials, the power is just unbelievable.
Good Morning!
