WOW Thanks Steve for an early new thread. These momsters and dadsters really chat up a blog.

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD WEDNESDAY MORNING TO ALL EAGLE MOMSTERS AND DADSTERS THAT WILL BE ON HERE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY!! Can you believe that we have a brand new blog to chat away on today. Steve was good to us by changing it over early.

carolinabeachmom said...

I want to wish each and everyone of you a very special viewing and chatting day today as I head off to school.

All is quiet at our nest. Belle is just looking around to se what kind of day it is going to be I guess. Now she is up and turning eggs. Probably getting a good stretch from the long night too. Can't see the eggs as her body is in the way, but she is doing a lot of fussing and now a wiggle wiggle and looks as if she is settling down again.

You all have a super day!

Switch at our nest-

Red said...

OK. Somebody is in trouble. I was coughing a bit yesterday but this morning I have a terribly sore throat and coughing up yucky stuff. Now who gave it to me? Fess up! lol

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE...
Red, I'm beginning to think you really can catch the BUG through the computer...just about all of us have had it! Maybe it is POWER OF SUGGESTION;)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning my eagle friends!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Red, you keep that funk to yourself!! I have been blessed so far this year, not alot of that going through my family yet!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Prayers for all in the midwest this morning, tornadoes everywhere out there. We are supposed to have some high winds here today and tomorrow. It has been so beautiful for the past few days, hard to complain about the weather, but I will find a way I am sure. I have been able to go to the park and walk instead of on a treadmill and it has been wonderful.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Egg rolling at NBG!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Eagleland.

RED the party you got it from was in the "Debbie's Cake isle" when you were getting your selections. SORRY YOU FEEL BAD!

Mits said...

Of course we'll be watching OK and NBG for another.

Red said...

Yes, BRS is gonna be in Alabama today or tomorrow. But he's missing the pretty part. Northern Alabama is much more beautiful than the Southern part. We have hills and mountains up here.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

There it is back.

Mits said...

the newer Maine nest is supposed to have 15 second updates, but it is more like 15 minutes

Lolly said...

Good morning all! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!! Just saw where NBG has an egg! I will go back on the blog to read about it! Wahoo!!!! And, would someone put a blue thingy on for NBG. I am at Laurel's. Joseph is still sick. I am taking him to the doctor later on this morning. It is the usual....fever, ache, sore throat, and cough. YUK! Washing my hands and refraining from kissing the poor little guy. However, he is overdosing on movies....! Ha! He will survive.

An egg, an egg, an egg! That is just wonderful. Yea! For NBG! Now how about Caltrans....have they had another? Boy, you miss a lot in one day!

Mits said...

I see where panda web cam #2 is off line at NZ, they have been working on the cams the last week, so hope it comes back on soon

Mits said...

fishing cat, clouded leopard, and small clawed otters all on view this a.m.

Mits said...

Mits said...

Lolly said...

Well, yesterday was an eggy day and I missed it. It is what it is!

Boy, did we have the storms last night. It didn't last long but it was violent when it went through. Laurel and I stood at her back windows facing west watching the sky. Good view when there was lightening. Had hail and lots of it, but thankfully it was pea size. Tornadoes and straightline winds were everywhere. The sirens did not go off here...it was just a little south of her house and north of mine. Jack said we did not get hail, but heavy rain. He sat on the patio watching it.

Mits said...

little hummer in CA, not so little anymore

Lolly said...

Thanks Helen! Gonna go look at that egg!

wvgal_dana said...

Working on it I'll get me self straight on those Maine cams soon. ty

Lolly hope grandson is feeling better.

Mits said...

#2 Maine nest seems to be rewinding, it is back to 8:44 a.m., yes, Lolly bad storm day yesterday, could see the lightning at OK nest

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I have a mouse climbing up my holly tree trying to get to the bird seed!

Mits said...

tell him that is not allowed, Sharon

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yeah, he don't want me busting out my Glock on him!

Lolly said...

My sister told me the other day that she found two rats in her bird feeder!!!Yuk! Traps are going out in her courtyard and the feeder is coming down.

Lolly said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Mits said...

for sure, we don't want that...

Mits said...

had that problem once Lolly, guy cam to set the trap, and told me, you know some people are against this, the killing of an animal, told him it was a filthy rodent...set the trap...!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I am gonna put a sign on my bird feeders, BIRDS ONLY, NO VARMITS ALLOWED!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Wonder why Norfolk eagle keeps staring at the egg. Been doing it for a while now.

Lolly said...

Oh, that is right. Poor OK eagles. When you see the weather on OK that is pretty much what we are getting. I need to check out the milege difference. Maybe even go search for the nest. Probably be an excellent day trip!

Lolly said...

Probably saying "Ahhh, isn't it cute!"

Mits said...

its in Stillwater OK, Lolly

Lolly said...

Goin to go read yesterday's blog. Approx. time for NBG?

Mits said...

that is what the guy in Michigan does, the cam I watch....puts out a sign to tell the varmints he feeds at night to stay off the deck...I'll send you the link, he even puts a menu sign of what he feeds them at night....sometimes it includes a can of beer???? Not sure why, it has to freeze up there

deb said...

Dana, I am just going by Judy's list she says the dates for West End are Feb. 20-March 14. Last year they were later than the year before.

Mits said...

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning out there in Eagle Land FROM the ASIA TRAIL

deb said...

Eagle is up on still cam.

paula eagleholic said...

OUr eagle up and rolling, I guess. How come every time she gets up my cam freezes!!

paula eagleholic said...

NBG laid egg around 4:10, I posted on blog around 4:30ish

wvgal_dana said...

It is possible with some of the eagle egg laying. If they just went 35 days Sharon (since I got her Month right now for her birthday) Sharon could get a hatching birthday present.

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - here is copy and paste for Maine 1

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I hope I have a hatching on my birthday! (and Danelle's birthday).

paula eagleholic said...

Maine 1 isn't on right now.

Mits said...

The eagle laid her first egg of the 2009 season at 4:10 PM, Tuesday, Feb. 10th.


this is what they have posted on their site, at the begging of their slideshow...you got it correct, Paula

Mits said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Both in the nest at NBG.

Mits said...

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

What do you all think, are there really 2 eagles at NBG????: ☺

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I keep freezing, having all kinds of internet problems out here in the sticks in Falls Mills!!

Mits said...

wouldn't that be a little soon, she just laid the 1st one late yesterday afternoon.

paula eagleholic said...

Now NBG is MT..pulling back...aha, eagle on rear branch...

Mits said...

but, that nest does things differently,

paula eagleholic said...

And back down into the nest...

deb said...

I wonder if they are working on Maine 2's live feed. I have it open but it freezes a lot and I don't have sound.

paula eagleholic said...

Mits, I meant 2 eagles at NBG, not 2 eggs.

paula eagleholic said...

Wow it must have just come on, Deb. Wouldn't come on 15 minutes ago!

Lolly said...

Okay, read through yesterday's blog. I was too busy yesterday to get on. Need to leave now and get a bite to eat and prompt Joseph to get dressed to head to the doctor. I'll BBL this afternoon.

Have a grea

paula eagleholic said...

I have soune on Maine2, but same thing, freezing, etc.

Lolly said...

Have a great day! Laurel's computer! Grrrr! (Not me! LOL)

deb said...

I get sound for 10-15 seconds and then gone.

Mits said...

lol....misread Sharon's comment, thought she said 2 eggs....I'm eating some eggs now, so my mind is on eggs ,not eagles

paula eagleholic said...

NBG all settled in...

Second parent just came back again

Mits said...

Mema Jo said...

I read back, tried to check out some cams but they sure are busy this am.
I'll be back this pm - late am appointment takes me away from your company!

BBL

deb said...

HH osprey is upset about something.

Mits said...

osprey giving someone the evil eye.

Mits said...

Sharon, you have mail.

deb said...

They said there were red tailed hawks in the area, I wonder if that is what is up.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

On my trip to Charlottesville and back the other day, I saw at least 10 red tail hawks sitting in trees on the side of the road.

Mits said...

that would do it....

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mits, I don't see any mail yet.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Egg all alone at NBG.

deb said...

Both eagles. our nest.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Egg alone at NBG.

Mits said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Just got it.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Looks like Belle just came in, late breakfast or early lunch?

paula eagleholic said...

Both eagle our nest!

paula eagleholic said...

I think that's Lib that flew in...

wvgal_dana said...

EGG IS SHOWING AT NBG

wvgal_dana said...

Belle flew out

wvgal_dana said...

I could be wrong Paula if so that is Belle still on the eggs.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at TH - did ya'll know TH has sound now?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Our eggs alone, wing stretching time!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I can't tell from the sun shining on the nest but. Are all 3 eggs still there?

Mits said...

eagle at Maine #2 nest, time is a little behind, but can tell from the angle of sun it is refreshing some

wvgal_dana said...

BWE showing off their 2 eggs.

paula eagleholic said...

Egg roll time...can see all 3 Sissy.

Looks like that was a switch Sharon saw....Lib on the nest now.

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle at NBG is on limb I don't know for how long. I mentioned 10:48 that egg was showing. Don't know if eagle has been back on egg?

paula eagleholic said...

Nope, Dana, NBG has been on the limb...

Jim

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Morning Jim! How goes it in your corner of the world?

Red said...

BRS just went past Atlanta.

Red said...

I couldn't get an appointment with my doctor today but will be seeing his practitioner at 3.

movin said...

#82 , the female at Two Harbors, is still hanging at the nest. ???

And look at the size of that lumber one of them hauled in.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

Morning, Sissy. It's actually much cooler here so far today than in Shep Town. Crazy weather this year, isn't it.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, 82 still at TH

Egg roll our nest

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

It has been beautiful here for the past couple of days. All that wind is coming in today, though. Supposed to have 60 mph winds today and tomorrow.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

It looks like they are about to roll that egg out of the nest at NBG!!

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle just flew into Caltrans

wvgal_dana said...

Switch at Caltran which I think I'm going to start typing TB for Turtlebay.

deb said...

Red hope you get some relief at the doctors for you sore throat.

Red said...

Me too Deb. I've never had a sore throat come on this fast. Yesterday morning I was fine. As the day went on I got a tickle and began coughing.

Red said...

BTW, BRS is in South Alabama now. Where I am is prettier with the mountains. Notice the lack of traffic. Roads are not congested down here. I love it.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Heading home, check back with you good folks after while. Keep an eye on them eggs for me!!

wvgal_dana said...

Hubby and me love counting hawks as we travel. Groundhogs too when they start coming out.

Red said...

The skunk population around here should be down. Saw 12 dead ones last weekend on a short ride on the back roads. About the time the smell quieted down in the truck we would run across another one.

deb said...

We just had another egg roll in our nest. Wind is whipping the tree around in NBG.

Travel safe, Sissy, hope the wind isn't too bad yet.

deb said...

Yuck, Red, is it skunk mating season to have so many out?

hedgie said...

Hello. Happy hump day to you!
Pretty day here....wind hasn't started yet! Hope we don't get blown away tomorrow in Shepherdstown.
Still no Miss Norma???

deb said...

The Snowy Owl that Mary and I happened upon has finally left the area. No one has found it in the last two days. The warm temps probably signaled that it was time to head back north.

hedgie said...

Red, sorry you are feeling puny. Mits is right...try Zicam!!
Hey, if you'd stop running over those skinks, there wouldn't be so many dead ones on the road!!! LOL!

deb said...

Lynn, have you made a purchase yet?

hedgie said...

Yes, Deb....I bought it! Anxious for it to arrive! Salesman said that it is the next best thing to a DSLR (? is that the right term?) and I got what appears to be a good deal. Fuji lists at 299.95....got it from Broadway Photo for 200 plus appreciation package of memory card, rechargeable batts w/ charger, tripod, viewer protector plus 1 yr. ext. warranty for 116more...free S&H. Sound good?

deb said...

Yes, that sounds like a good deal. When will you get it?

deb said...

Both eagles in Caltrans.

hedgie said...

Just got soem really bad benefit news from GM. Gotta go digest this...anyone have a nerve pill???

Mema Jo said...

I have returned from Dr appointment
Checked out ok except sugar (from the prednisone treatment) is up a little but
he will keep checking it and doesn't at this time see any need for any diabetic medication. We laughed as he told me what NOT to eat - I said OK I can eat fruits and green leafy veggies! He said 'Yes you only eat lettuce the rest of your life' ! I love my Doc!

hedgie said...

Deb, they said it would ship w/in 24 hrs., so guess probably the first of the week. Can't wait--wish I had it for tomorrows' outing!

hedgie said...

Yes, Jo, prednisone will do that...but it's temporary! Glad you got a good report.
Deb, did you hear/see the report about birds and global warming that was on the news yesterday?

Anne-Marie said...

good Morning all, just a min to check in. I am leaving for a week on a road trip with camera in hand and it should be fun.

deb said...

I saw that, Lynn, it came through on my SD bird reports.

Anne, where are you headed off to?

Mema Jo said...

Anne Marie - which road are you traveling?

Mema Jo said...

Need to go send some email!

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Have a great time, Anne!

deb said...

Sun is out, I am going to see if the river by me is still frozen. The geese are going to need some open water!

Anne-Marie said...

Sorry I took so long. another load in the drier

Anne-Marie said...

I am oing over the Sierras on 80 and to Winnamucca Nv.Then north To Boise to see my youngest. I have to go at a drop of a hat because of winter storms. I have to clear 8000 feet at the top without a bad storm. As soon as I get to Reno I should be ok.

Anne-Marie said...

The neat thing about this little trip is Master Brandon is going with and he doesnt know where we are going. I told he was was a photography shoot.

Anne-Marie said...

he got a dig camera for Christmas and he is my shooting buddy.

paula eagleholic said...

Switch our nest....feed pretty choppy...

paula eagleholic said...

NBG eagle is enjoying the swanging tree!

Anne-Marie said...

paula eagleholic said...

LOL how are you going to explain the suitcases, Anne?

Mema Jo said...

You and Brandon should have a great time!
I'll be thinking of you two!
You'll make a photographer out of him

Anne-Marie said...

Paula he knows we are going somewhere for a week. He thinks its Santa Barbara....Surprise!

Mema Jo said...
