It is a balmy 16° here in Nature's Air Conditioned City, Bluefield!
Good Morning, Sharon. Did you see the post where I listed your plants names? Dracena is the spikey plant and Diffenbachia is the green & white plant in the middle (it is also called "Dumb Cane", because if you get some of the juices from the leaves in your mouth, it will render you SPEECHLESS! Also, poisonous to animals:(
Thanks Steve for the new Thread. Thanks Sharon for the heads up. Your flowers are nice.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE:)
thanks for the new thread, Steve, and the call over, Hoover:)
Hoover is such a good name. I love it!!
Hello, Hello to Everyone in Eagleland! Spent all AM trying to log on w/this retarded computer at work!Q DUH
No one visible in our nest--laying low. But a wonderful lady w/large camera who visits w/her tiny GD, gave me a pic of BOTH adults in the nest!!!I will have to scan it in at home & see if it comes out good enough to post!
Think I read that Red was taking class using Corel. That is my default photo program--one I have is user friendly! Also have MS Picture IT & Adobe Photoshop.
I can cover all your household needs - Hoover, Drano, at least for getting rid of the crap! :)

Don't worry, Norma, took me a minute to figure it out too.
Gotta run out to fax some papers- unemployment nonsense, so far endless hours spent and paperwork sent, and ZERO dollars received-typical....
Put a few pictures up on my blog of my newest pet who is eating birdseed at one of my stump feeders. bbl

Poof for Belle, I think.
I sure wish our live feed worked. So many beautiful times missed.
Megan, I just checked out your new pet, glad it is in your yard!
he is cute, Megan:)

We're upgrading the camera server. The second stream will return shortly.

DNR said disease is likely spread from bat to bat--but might be spread in dirt on cavers' clothing & gear!--CAVERS are asked to clean & disinfect all gear between trips!!----CAROL can give us more info!---PENDLETON Co. is such a beautiful co.---So many--many types of sports are offered---from rock climbing to rare flowers & birds!!!!
Good Morning! I have been in my 30 some emails and I think that Thursday is
coming together!
I am chuckling about "Hoover"
BWE is fixed!
MEI XIANG ,just went up a tree.
BBL, off to mail some cards and do some errands.
Megans pet sure has a mangled ear. Someone has been chewing on it. Did you know that possums gestation period is the shortest of any mammal in he USA (11-14 days) It is also a marsupial and the newborns find their way to mothers pouch.
Morning all!! Been lurking around this morning, thought I'd better at least say HI!!
Hi Bev!
We knew you were there, Sissy! lol
Can't hide from us!
Hope your day is going well!
I was watching Mei Xiang in that tree, what a hoot!!
I wish I could watch Luney!!!!
RED----They also DROP little pellets!! That's NOT A GOOD THING!
ho!-----They are cool---when they are small!!
Morning, all!
Looks like nice weather for Thursday...
I remember once when my mother cooked a possum. Took a week to get the greasy taste out of our mouths. lol
Pelican Harbor 26 "Mom" is sitting in nestbowl.
No eggs at PH yet...just checking it out...
Oh Wow Red!! Now that is something I cannot imagine putting in my mouth. Daddy used to cook squirrel and rabbit and I thought that was barbaric!!
Egg roll at NBG!
EAGLE STORY
where is PETA, when you need them, out harassing people who wear fur coats?
hope the eagles peck him!!!!
Missed the bucket truck, but sure have a loverly view of an eagle in the nest!!! Maine is just black! Maybe their blizzard is raging again.
Deb, so sorry about your sis....how painful that is...I speak from experience! My "accidents" all happen at home, too!
It was 11° here at 7am...brrrr...up to 22° now.
Megan, love your visitor! Think I told the story about hand-rearing a litter of three about 20 years ago. Yuck, Red...don't think I would want to eat one.
Norma, nothing dumb about you, gal!! HO!
The BS about the story is that the fall and winter weather HAS NOT been bad enough to have delayed an earlier rousting. WHo are they trying to kid?
right, must think we have DUMB written across our foreheads!
BWE UPDATE........
Nest Update
02/24/09:
Technical Note:
Our cam technician thinks he may have fixed the PC software problem. We'll keep an eye on the image updating, but everything is fine with the cam itself and the nest.
BWO UPDATE....
Nest Update
02/24/09:
Technical Note:
The PC issue may have been the only problem with the Osprey Cam, but we're not sure yet.
We plan to send the bucket truck up soon anyway to prepare the nest for our ospreys, which will be coming back in about 3 weeks. So when the truck goes up, we'll check the cam and the connections at the nest.
That HI cam is so cool, up close watching them!! Looks like they look right at us!
PH 26 still sitting in nestbowl. The way she has been eating looks like a pretty good nest to be keeping an eye on.
Eagle story still stinks to high heaven arghh!!! Go picket and make a scene!!! Yep it might disturb the eagles but heck they are destroying their ome and family today anyway.
I thought you could get fined for disturbing a nest,,,,oh, if you are in charge guess you can do what you want:(
That is just outrageous!! Just cannot believe that they would do this, especially with eggs in the nest!!!
"Government" can do anything they want and get away with it.....I, too, hope they peck him to pieces.
I guess since they are not on the endangered list anymore, this is okay, huh? They keep doing this and they will be back on the endangered list.
I hear ya, Sissy:(
breezy up in MAINE.
Glo, I sent your photos to my daughter, Denise, and she chose the deer tracking through the snow, just as I did as a favorite. Like mother like daughter:) Also sent them to my grandson, Brandon, and he said "awsome". He is a true bird lover!
Didn't Suz get some great captures at Finney's this morning? Wonder how soon there will be eggs there?? Wonder when it warms up there, LOL!!!!
Lunchtime, and then I'm going to try again---with Megan's instructions--to hook up notebook to wireless! BBL & MTBR!
she sure did get some nice shots....this happened last year, looked like they were going to stay, and osprey came back home, it is their nest, and kicked them out, then had troubles with their eggs and no one was in the nest.
Yep, Red- my possum buddy has some serious issues- he definitley got into a fight with someone- has a gash on his face and his ear is messed up. Maybe the one of stupid cats that are always all over my yard. I don't mind possums-they are actually very timid, eat small rodents, including moles, and slugs, bugs, etc. He's a keeper, wish he wouldn't eat my birdseed, but it's just because it's cold right now and hard to find food.
BRS just went thru a tunnel, and did not lose his signal...remarkable:)
He must not have AT&T!!
Good Afternoon Eagleland
Great commenting...ty I'm caught up..was slow going a couple of days. Read a few then off again and back to bed.
"Remember me saying I woke up with frog in throat. Couldn't kiss the frog to get a Prince cause I have the PRINCE. So I had to keep the frog." Well it has been a Sinus cold couldn't stand light. Wowwee..getting better. Not well enough to go out anywhere though. Got it Monday and down since.
I did take time to do a few things when I could then would shut down computer.
Glo GOOD LUCK !! ( :
Glo where are the hawk pictures?
I think of Dr. Sharpe's hard work. When I read about Fish and Wildlife of Annapolis making such a BAD DECISION!!! Yes they did cut some limbs...take the darn tree down and put the EGGS IN THE OLD TREE ON FROG MORTAR CREEK!! With that tree down and the eggs in the other nest. The eagles will incubate there. Where Martin Airport had no problem with the Eagles.
I wrote Governor of Md., Fish and Wildlife of Annapolis and another place. I'm too late I know probably wouldn't have helped anyways.. JERKS :(
Got pic of one in nest at Iowa.
One back again at Iowa,Decorah
There are no eggs yet but I believe we should KEEP AN EYE on this nest. She is laying there and I think she will be laying eggs ( :
Dana The Hawk pictures are still in my camera. I work overnight tonight. I will get them online sometime soon though. Bad Hawk LOL
Wanda I read up and backwards. Saw your comment about forwarding on the photos. I am excited about the contest but the 3 judges this month are exceptional..they will have awesome input is my guess and also be pretty picky about what is and is not good from their points of view.
Well, I am done working, gonna go veg on the couch awhile!! BBIALW!
have a nice veg, Sissy:)
yesterday's TOP BIRD CAMS....BEAKSPEAKE....

Friends of Blackwater
(Bald Eagle)
looks like BRS is on the PA turnpike?...hate that road.
I spy an eagle...at BWO...with a fish!
CT Osprey cam will be turned on March 9th!
cool. not to long from now:)
eagle yelling at what might be a juvie at BWO
nope maybe a TV??
can't get a clear shot of its head
Great about CT (I was just in their folder I have re-arranging things). Thanks Paula ( :
turning eggs at TH
more fresh greens brought into RTH nest in Portland.
BRS, stopping at a TS
TV landing at BWO
now eagle back at BWO
wonder where Bob Quinn has been, been awhile since he has been on????????
BRS is in Wheeling WVA.
Eagle flew out- our nest.
MY feed is freezing so badly- think eagle flew out cause saw empty nest on one screen- and apparently one flew in now on eggs
I don't keep the nest up, so by the time I got to it everything looked normal. Takes forever to download.
I can't believe stoopid machine let me finally sign in again!I might throw it in the river!! Many have threatened that!
Anyway, I did see eagle at BWO & a POX on Mits Eagle Story! Another Stoopid bunch! They could have removed nest in Fall, not now w/eggs in it!!!
Thx for writing, Dana!! ☺
Well, I still can't get an internet connection, but everything says that the wireless connectivity is there....wonder if I have a bad router?? I have been *!#&%!
computers are really frustrating...
So you can see the internet connection- can you find the router on your computer? can you click on the router and then you should be able to troubleshoot to see what the probelm is.
Still scratching my head about that one, Loretta.
Megan, I need to send you to Ceil's house:)
Helen, I bet that airport bunch never thought about that nest until the plane landed in the Hudson.
Well, the wind has gone away, it's a little warmer, low tide with plenty of landing spots, but no great birds!
Did see one bluebird out the window. Will have to scout other windows by River & check some areas after work.
I've got some pancake & sausage breakfasts in freezer!!!!Solves the dinner problem! Hooray!
Later...☺ ☺ ☺
I think that sorta set their mindset towards tearing down the nest,Loretta, but should have done that mouths ago.....got my pancakes and sausage for tonight.....love an easy dinner:)
ooppss, months ago....getting lazy, not using my spellcheck before I post.
Loretta wonder how many computers that river has in it????
Switch at BWE
Maine1 is up
my Maine has been up all day...:)
PAULA....you have mail.
EGG ROLL!!
Hey. Sorry I've been negligent in dropping by. Hope everyone is doing well. Haven't taken any BW pictures worth posting in a long time. Maybe this weekend. I might have a couple of extra days off.
EAGLE AT LW:)
Well Hello, Bob:) We forgive you...
There's an eagle at Hornby.
there you are Bob, been missing you and your pics:)
LOL Bob...you can always visit us without pics...
OK, Mits...Thanks, hadn't been over to early morning posts yet...
Backatcha Mits.
eagle on branch at LW, feathers blowing in the breeze
Only pics lately are of the cats. Lisa tells me the work on the BW Wildlife Drive might not be done till this summer.
Both eagles at Hornby, one just came flying in.
that is such an awesome cam...LW eagle back in the nest.
an hornby eagles are yelling
poof at LW
wow, that long, Bob?
NBG cam with no wind, that is a rarity.
This is what Lisa said, "They had the first part of the Drive open a couple Saturdays ago, when they unfortunately had a big crowd. The people wore down the road so much, they had to close it the next day. Word is it might not be paved until summer, but once spring gets closer, they might try to reopen it and let people drive on the dirt."
wonder if these are the same people who did the bay bridge:):)?
big eagle butt on view at HI
I really miss access to the first part of the drive. Some great photo ops there. Good news is the osprey will be back in a few weeks.
I know, can't wait for them to get back....hope they have success this year.
The wildlife drive is my favorite part of BW....
noisy crows up in Maine!!!
K26 at PH...she laid first egg last year on the 24th....forum is all excited...
She sure has been checking out the bowl a lot today....laying down in it again...
I bet they are:)
Eagle (female, I think) working on nest cup and now setting on it at PH/Santa Cruz.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
OOps! Now I see Paula's comment.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Paula, how many eggs did Two Harbors lay this year??
I lost track after the first, and every time I look in when she is rolling them, I am only able to see one....
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
on Wild watch cams they have removed cam #3 from Kent, maybe there will be some more news soon.
I saw TH roll 2 eggs today, rarely watch the ones on the west coast, don't know when they were laid, Paula is our west coast authority.
Although I really do like LW and Hornby a lot.
Hi, Mits. I suspected she had at least two...based on previous years.
K-26 is still setting in the cup in the same direction...it looks like she is serious this time. Look for an egg today.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Hahaha. I barely wrote that, and she flew off!!
Well, you can expect an egg soon at PH.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
she's gone on my cam.
EGG Roll our nest- my feed keeps freezing.....
I really like the cam at Hornby, love watching the eagles come soaring in.
would love to live in one of the homes below the nest.
I am home. I got may errands done and it was so nice, I did a little exploring. Now I have the front and back doors open letting in fresh air! I am going to enjoy it while I can. It is in the 60's!!
it is 38° here Deb, but it is coming this way:)
eagle back at HI
2nd one just flew in
I would, too! Can you imagine having eagles flying overhead every day.
it would be nice, and I would not tear their nest down:)
Deb, there was an eagle at LW a little while ago.
Getting ready to mix up the pancakes and start the sausage gravy...I'm cheating...using a can of Libby's...it's good, but doesn't have nearly as much sausage in it as I put in when I make it from scratch!
I can hear the eagle at PH
OOh yeah, on an island with bald eagles, I'll take it...Hornby Island
I'm cheating too, got the shake and bake pancake mix, but will be doing the link sausage:)
sounds ideal....don't forget to recycle...Megan did you notice the roadside flower stand....you can set up your business right under the eagle tree.
OK, I read the nest observations on the TH nest, and she laid 1st on 2/18, and according to Paula's report, they first saw the second on the morning of Saturday, 2/21.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
looks like BRS might be stopping for the night, think he is close to Columbus, Ohio.
Oh, I saw it, but I'm retiring to the island, so my flower supply will be limited- I'll be busy sitting on the beaches...and birdwatching..
Oh I just found my lot- now to get that Governement bailout check to finance it-
