Thanks Steve! I'll go get the others!

sunny said...

Happy Birthday Sharon and Danelle!! Hugs and prayers for Jo.

I'm going to a retreat in Shepherdstown all weekend, so take good notes so i can get caught up on the action when I get a break.

Looks like SnowWhite and Frosty and bunny for lunch?

sunny said...

that's supposed to be "had" bunny for lunch.

normabyrd said...

AFTERNOON EAGLE BUDDIES!!---That's for the new thread STEVE!---CONGRATS! LOLLY---WELCOME HOME!!

sunny said...

Hi Lolly. I don't think we're met. I've been around since the year of Spunky, and I've been to a few of the group meetings. I live in H'town MD. Where are you?

Mits said...

thanks Lolly and Steve.

Lolly said...

We are at Fredericksburg now! All hooked up and time for lunch. Guess nothing has happened at our nest?! We will be leaving after lunch to browse in town and to visit wineries. Also, going to the Wildseed farm. Oh, Megan you would love that place. All kinds of seeds in bulk. I am going for larkspur.

normabyrd said...

HELLO SUNNY!---We miss you!---ARE you going to NCTC?---(if so--i want to join you)---ho!----ENJOY!

normabyrd said...

SUNNY---LOLLY lives in TX--She--husband & some grand kid (maybe) have been mini vacation!---

Lolly said...

Sunny, I am in north Texas. Joined this fantastic group about a year ago. Jack and I met everyone (almost everyone) last Oct. at the Open House.

Check out my blogs. I was eagle watching yesterday.

And this morning.....I got more pics. Got to the nest (between Burnet ande Llano, TX) One adult was there with the juvies. Then that one left and another flew in. Also saw more what looks like trampoline action, wing flaps and stretches from the juvies. Just loved it! Hated to tell them goodbye.

sunny said...

Norma, if I thought I would be able to see anything, I'd go to NCTC. But I will be staying at the Clarion!

Lolly said...

No Norma....no grandkids this trip. But in two weeks we are taking Joseph and Jacob to east Texas to ride the Texas State Railroad steam engine. That will include two nights of "camping" in our trailer.

sunny said...

Well, time to go load the car. I'll be taking the laptop, and will be watching for hatchings!! The weather will be warm and wonderful for Belle this weekend.

normabyrd said...

SUNNY!---The CLARION is COOL too!!
ho!

normabyrd said...

LOLLY---You sound as if you all are having FUN!!!

Lolly said...

We are having fun Norma. BUT, we have a problem. Jack and I are fighting (hee hee) over the laptop. In fact, he just asked for his turn. So, I gotta say good bye! BBL

WE NEED TWO LAPTOPS!!!!!!!!!

normabyrd said...

WONDERFUL WEATHER!!---I have been out filling the bird feeders------no jackets needed---Sun is shining----It's a good 73°----WOW!
What more could one ask for??

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, Sunny, I would about guarantee you would see an adult in our nest at any given time now. If I lived near there, I would be in trouble. I would probably just have to have a mobile office that I could park near the sycamore tree and work from there!

floralgirl said...

Oh my gosh, Lolly, I am sooo jealous- I always order seed from Wildseed farm!

Lolly said...

Megan, how about that! I absolutely love the place. You will have to come see it sometime. I love to browse and they have cats everywhere! Besides the seeds in bulk they have a lot of nice things....rocks, birdbaths, yard stuff, and inside lots of pretty things to look at. And, cats in and out!

Lolly said...

We are off! BBL

wvgal_dana said...

Said good morning to everyone. Now back and saying good afternoon Eagleland. NO CHICK...Wanda said 1st one call Sher...I wanted to know if 2nd one would be called Sonny??? Now someone says 1st one to hatch call Hoover....does that mean 2nd to hatch will be called Vac???? lol

Hi Sunny have fun in Shepherdstown and watch out for hanging tv's...
Sunny the Rumsey Tavern inside the Clairton is GREAT...most of us have eaten there more than once on Momster outings. GOOD FOOD....breakfast you must go on main street to BETTY'S RESTURANT GREAT !!!!!!!

Hello loopy Jo!!! You Sweetie You!

Happy Birthday again Sharon!

Weather is just grand outside. Book sale was nice...more books to read.

Costume Lady said...

I do believe Sunny was with us the first time I went to an outing with the Momsters. We had a great time, but got really tired waiting on our food to come!

Costume Lady said...

Lolly and Jack sound as if they are having a blast. I enjoy hearing of their adventures and seeing their photos:)

Costume Lady said...

It is actually hot in this house...have to turn the fans on. It is 72°!

Mits said...

feeding time again at BWE

grannyblt said...

Lolly, I am so homesick when I read of your trip. We used to spend our summer vacations camping in Texas state parks back when the kids were young, in the 70's. I was born here in PA, but spent over 40 years in TX.

wvgal_dana said...

I too Wanda love hearing about Lolly and Jack's adventures and seeing the pictures.

wvgal_dana said...

Beautiful eagle just flew out of H1. Heard someone whistling then eagle flew..are these trained eagles?

wvgal_dana said...

Grannyblt what part of PA was you born in?

wvgal_dana said...

You can see the eagle flying around in H1.

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, BWE had Peter for lunch!

Mits said...

yes, sent Lisa, a pic, she confirmed it:)

Mits said...

also got a nice shot of geese flying by the BWO platform.

Mits said...

egg turning

wvgal_dana said...

BWE chicks had Easter early lol

paula eagleholic said...

Egg roll our nest...lots of slo mo digging going on

wvgal_dana said...

Our eagle up darn grass in is the way..Can't see good!

Mits said...

and soom is not clear enough to see, with the freezing going on

Mits said...

chicks on view at BWE

paula eagleholic said...

More Bunny snacking at BWE...yum

paula eagleholic said...

Awwww, think the eaglets are napping :)

paula eagleholic said...

One's up for a snack now...other is face down

paula eagleholic said...

Naptime, BWE - chicks are covered up now.

wvgal_dana said...

I wish someone (Wanda elected closest) to go to NCTC and watch the live feed. So we can find out is there is a chick. 2nd person Norma you always wanted to work there. Get your sleeping bag out an head to NCTC.

wvgal_dana said...

Mits I think I seen where you might have commented you liked CSI. Have you watched "Homeland Security"?

wvgal_dana said...

H1 has big fish started to eat heard other eagle and now just finished yelling. Seen other eagle fly around. Hasn't landed in nest yet. Eagle with fish is eating.

grannyblt said...

I was born in New Castle. PA and live in Grove City now with my elderly Mom.

Just saw the 'lunch' at BW. I prefer to think of it as rabbit. Bunny is too sweet. I have to dispose of a dead rabbit about every 6 weeks here that gets into the fenced backyard and the golden retriever chases it to death.

There have been several long visits at the Maine 1 nest today. I hope that nest is successful this year.

wvgal_dana said...

Oh how I miss our sound from last season...Jo loved the sound too...be nice if they could get it fixed FOR JO ELLEN also known as MENA JO WHEN SHE COMES HOME....SOUND PLEASE FOR MEMA JO. ( :

Mits said...

I think I have tried to watch it, can't remember if I liked it.

paula eagleholic said...

Parent eating wabbit now...

Mits said...

much easier to watch this year with feeding going on, Lisa said geese pic was of snow or canadian geese

paula eagleholic said...

Chow time at BWE again!

BBL

wvgal_dana said...

Well Homeland Security is a true show on tv. We really like it..shows what idiots think they can do illegally. Surprising a lot of it though.

hedgie said...

What is wrong with the feed???? Argh!!!!! Having to refresh it almost every 5 mins.

wvgal_dana said...

I would state right now that if "I died make all donations instead of flowers for new cam with sound and color for eagles at NCTC". But I'm afraid everyone will be gunning for me lol

wvgal_dana said...

BWE has her/his chicks out to get a "suntan" in the nice warm weather. ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Both eagles SISSY at H1

Mits said...

roflmbo, Dana

hedgie said...

LOL, Dana! I won't be gunning for you! But it's a great idea...think I'll add that info to my obit instead of "charity of choice"!!!

Mits said...

Jo called a little while ago, they put a walker in front of her and said, WALK, and she did, but had to hang up cause they where their to give her a respiratory treatment

Mits said...

Ed left a message earlier, may send her home tomorrow

wvgal_dana said...

I shop at Martin's but other stores have them. Rent a movie on charge card $1.06 with tax take back next day by 7pm. Like it better than blockbuster now. If you rent at one place and another is closer can take back there.
We just seen Beverly Hills Chihuahua GREAT FUNNY MOVIE !

hedgie said...

Great news about Jo, Helen...very encouraging!

wvgal_dana said...

OH BOY JO ELLEN MOVE FOREWARD AND BACKWARDS AND SIDEWAYS THEN GO FOREWARD AGAIN....SHE IS NOT A QUITER!!!

Mits said...

Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave

Mits said...

BRS next trip starts Sunday night..

This trip picks up Sunday night
Dallas, TX - Tolleson, AZ (1,078 Miles)

can't wait to see Arizona, my second favorite state.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

My favorite state is "confusion". :)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Did you all know that you can buy frozen rabbit at Krogers?

Mits said...

they have frozen rabbits at the zoo commissary for some of the animals:)

wvgal_dana said...

Dave put the pictures on "WILDLIFE 2009"...great pictures.

Red said...

NCTC people could learn how to set up live cam and sound from Hornsby people. Thats a fantastic setup.

Red said...

Guess it all boils down to budget though.

hedgie said...

Hi, Dave! It goes without saying--but I will--that I enjoy your pics! Have you been reading back and seen the info about our Mema Jo??
LOL, Sharon.....I agree with confusion!
I've seen frozen rabbit at the store before! Wanda, did Gene's meat department stock it???

Mits said...

also, security reason at NCTC too.

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

I have a red-tail hawk that spends
a lot of time in my large walnut
tree and gets rabbits when they
come out in the yard in the late
afternoon.SOOOOOO today when i
was on my way home from the store
there was a fresh roadkill rabbit
and i stoped and put in the back
of the truck and it is out in the
side yard for him,ane i hope i can
get some good photos of him feeding
on it.
Dave

Mits said...

Jo told me to call her back, but dinner now, and she said food is good. Said she took a long walk down the hall, and actually put weight on the bum leg. Tenative release is for tomorrow after surgeon comes in to look under the ace bandage.

Said to tell everyone, when they took her to CT this a.m., they parked her in the ER hallway. she got a laugh out of that.

floralgirl said...

Eagle flew out a few minutes ago- think we had a switch- hard to tell with the cam freezing...
going back out- beautiful day- but I got a sunburned face:(

hedgie said...

Thank goodness they didn't leave Jo in the hallways for hours and hours! Hope there weren't any drunks....LOL!

Mits said...

eagle in MAINE nest

Mits said...

MAINE is supposed to lay their eggs sometime around...

Mar 5 - 8

Mits said...

talked to Ceil, and finally has someone coming into look at computer, but can't come til next Wednesday.

Red said...

MITS, you aske BRS to take eagle photo's. I have found one. It's listed under his wallpaper, then 2008 archives. Next to last photo on first page. Here's a link to it

Eagles

Mits said...

beautiful pic, Red:)

Red said...

All of his photos are good.

Mits said...

Sure must make the time go faster for him, pics are always in focus and clear:). Wonder when he had time to learn?

NatureNut said...

Wow, great news about Jo. I'm just confused about ACE bandage??? I'm hoping she has some kind of cast. Maybe bandage is at one end of leg where rod was inserted. I'm so glad I sent my card to her house. Knew you can't keep Jo down!!

I restarted Live cam once this afternoon & it's doing great--check Still to see if they're in sync.
Outta here soon--if you don't see me later, I konked out in lounge chair!! Need a Panda nap. Adios

Mits said...

from what she said, sound just like the ace bandage is all she has...MTBR

Mits said...

my whole family is right now in the friendly skies, jubby on his way home from California, and son and family on their way to Ohio.

hedgie said...

Re: ace wrap....sometimes they split the cast to allow for swelling and wrap it to keep it together, and then recast after swelling is down, and sometimes when there is an incision they like to keep it split in order to inspect wound for signs of infection.

Mits said...

yep, sounds like it, Lynn, know she said he wants to look at incision tomorrow. I'm just amazed she is walking on it, but know you have to get up, to prevent the clots.

wvgal_dana said...

I do hope Ceil gets back on the blog very soon.

Is anyone able to keep Norfolk up for long?

Heading for Maine ...I guess it is the older nest?

hedgie said...

Hope your family all land safely, Mits! At least jubby is on his way home!!
Nest pic is SO clear right now...think it's the time of day--no sun glare.

Mits said...

son and family's plane just landed, jubby's will land in Dallas in about 20 minutes.

Mits said...

it is a nice clear pic now. they have been so calm today on the eggs, must not be any rolling underneath yet.

hedgie said...

Sure don't understand why there are no direct flights out of BWI to LA....

Mits said...

he doesn't use BWI, flew out of Reagan to Dallas, directly to Santa Ana, California, could have flown to LA, but would then need to rent a car and drive, this was much easier, cab ride to hotel.

Mits said...

just has to make one stop and change planes.

Mits said...

well refreshed the cam and eagle has moved, no wonder it was so still, cam was frozen.

Mits said...

think there was just a switch, eagle was standing close to cam, did not see anything, then cam foze and next shot eagle was down

Mits said...

getting set up for the night at Saline

hedgie said...

I like to fly out of/in to Reagan better than any place!! Always such a beautiful view of the city!

Mits said...

Bill is doing commentary on Saline to repair damage done by raccoons

Mits said...

lol...he is screwing the dishes to a platform , so that rocky and ratface can't carry the dishes thru the neighborhood.

wvgal_dana said...

HELP EVERYONE WILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM.....we need to band together. Fine way of getting rid of "stink bugs". Other than picking them up killing them or throwing them outside. Suggestions are warranted here.

wvgal_dana said...

Darn now we won't be able to see because of the night light glare.

Mits said...

eagle up

glo said...

Hope you all are watching now..getting very restless at the nest

Mits said...

saw what looked like the egg from the other day with the black hole in it, hole looked to be the same size as the other day. could not get pic.

Mits said...

its moon cam night at Saline, because the moon is almost full.

glo said...

Yes I too think I may have seen a hole in an egg but definitely not positive. Quieted down for now.

Mits said...

hope it was not the egg from the other day that looked like it had a black hole.

Anne-Marie said...

I will watch again tonight until I cant stay awake any more. Are you sure about the hole?

Anne-Marie said...

If it was a hole wouldnt she have either eaten it by now or thrown it out?

Mits said...

no, not completely sure, but almost sure, and not sure at all what would really happen at these early stage with 2 more eggs to incubate. it just looked like the black hole that everyone was seeing I think yesterday, not sure of my timeline.

paula eagleholic said...

Great news about Jo, sure hope she can go home tomorrow. Maybe she doesn't need a cast, since they put the rod in her leg.

Wonder if we really have a hole, or something stuck to an egg?

Mits said...

she seems to be doing extremely well. and loving the care she is getting there.

Mits said...

hoping it was just something stuck to the egg.

floralgirl said...

I'm glad she got to visit NCTC before this happened.

paula eagleholic said...

Off to walk the dogs....BBL

Mits said...

she said the same thing Megan

Mits said...

up again

Mits said...

glare in the way

glo said...

Hmm I have my live zoomed in. I really don't think I saw 3 "whole" eggs there anymore. But it is so hard to say for sure!!!

Mits said...

down again

Mits said...

I saw a lump of something, but the zoom with the glare, just can't tell for sure yet.

floralgirl said...

I've already misguessed today, so I ain't gonna comment until I'm fer sure...lol... Gonna be hard to see at night with the glare and the live feed freezing.

glo said...

I also think sh eis sitting differently as in a little higher right now.

Mits said...

off to fix some dinner and watch TV...bbs, unless I hear my email chimes going off then I know something's going on

Mits said...

we may not know for sure til tomorrow...what is the March full moon called Megan?

floralgirl said...

WORM MOON!!!!

deb said...

I have a liitle time before I take off for dinner with friends. I am hoping for an egg roll before I go.

deb said...

Great news that Jo is already up and walking! I hope she gets to go home tomorrow.

deb said...

Belle is grooming her feathers.

NatureNut said...

Both 'puters locking up! lIVE CAM SHOWED bELLE ABOVE THE EGGS & IT'S PROBABLY SHADOW, BUT i SAW 1 GREY THING UNDER HER CHIN/BEAK & SOME EGGS. lIVE CAM LOCKED & i WAS NOT ABLE TO OPEN sTILL, SO TOOK A PIC.

floralgirl said...

On the ME forum they have a pic of that last shot when Belle was up-

NatureNut said...

If I can get something to work around here, I'll see what my pic looks like & if good enough, I'll post.
BBL

wvgal_dana said...

Blogger repeat I'm the one that deleted.

wvgal_dana said...

So Megan what do you think??

Lolly said...

Hi all! Back from shopping in Fredericksburg! Let's see...at Wildseed Farms we got two huge flower pots at half price, some seed, a t-shirt, and a bottle of wine. Went into town bought a planter to hang on the fence in one of my gardens, a small table for the patio, and a Santa ornament. Jack was really sweet to put up with my shopping.

MEGAN....I took pictures at the Wildseed Farm. After we eat I will post them.

Guess nothing is happening at the nest.?????

floralgirl said...

I thnik it's really hard to tell- copied pic and zoomed in, but glare makes it so hard to see-
that was interesting, not so much of an egg roll, long time checking out under her...

Mits said...

so what do they think, Megan?

glo said...

well its definitely not just one of those tuck your head under your wing and get a good nights sleep night at that nest.

Anne-Marie said...

its going to be like last night. She wiggled around all night.

floralgirl said...

One person posted pics, thinks possible hatch- no one else has commented. Pic looks like chick and broken egg, BUT- the light distorts everything, hard to be certain.

magpie said...

Hi Eagle Eyes out there !

I think we can say for sure, that Belle's actions are different tonight, kinda like they were last night.

BWE is not refreshing much...if at all tonight.

Anne-Marie said...

I'm going to take a break. BBL

magpie said...

Sure was nice to cruise through the Blog and get the updates on Mema Jo, and
also Thanks Hedgie for giving me a heads up on email...

Sounds like a real nail-biting day on here.

floralgirl said...

Hey Margy:) My BWE is refreshing fine...

deb said...

If you watch BWE very closely in front of the eagle, you will see a little eaglet poking its head out! The parent isn't moving much at all, BUT Snow White is.

magpie said...

Okay Megan...think I will just shut everything down and start over..

deb said...

I am out of here. I put up a picture of Snow White on Nest pictures.

floralgirl said...

Big wing stretch-

Mits said...

definitely not sleeping tonight.

wvgal_dana said...

I got the pic from there too Megan. I've done everything I can to it plus darking so there is not much glare. I see one egg...for sure. What else is there I DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE.

Mits said...

check out those wings

floralgirl said...

Interesting pose...

wvgal_dana said...

She is really acting strange...like something is near the nest.

floralgirl said...

Well either something is bothering her or she is stretched out to keep eggs from getting too warm- it is still 60° here. I don't think I've ever seen her tent like this when there wasn't precip coming down.
Wish we had sound...

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm...beautiful, for whatever reason...warm maybe?

Mits said...

no rain in the area , maybe an owl is nearby

Mits said...

nope same here, warm or intruder near by

It was hard to see the 3 eggs for awhile last night, also.

paula eagleholic said...

She's not doing any calling out...I vote for warm night

hedgie said...

Where did you find the nest pic on the ME site??

NatureNut said...

Still cam just showed up after an hour & Belle is mantling???!!!

I was working on my picture--glad Live was frozen-had to retake at dif. setting. A little more clear, but not great.

hedgie said...

It is still warm, that's for sure.
How was your day, Margy?

paula eagleholic said...

Pretty stretch!

hedgie said...

She is not sitting still for a minute.

paula eagleholic said...

Maybe a roll, couldn't tell, eagle body in the way!

Hang on Hedge, I'll get you the link

paula eagleholic said...

Maine Forum NCTC Thread

hedgie said...

Think she's finally settled down...

hedgie said...

Thanks, Paula!

wvgal_dana said...

Like you said never seen her do that before unless raining. It isn't too warm. Could have been intruder.
Sharon did you have a cake with candles???? If so did you wish for our cams to straighten up????

wvgal_dana said...

Tonight when live feed is working. Can anyone see anything moving? So we know when it freezes.

paula eagleholic said...

If you zoom in, you can see that it's still working, Dana.

NatureNut said...

Put my picture on blog. It was so much clearer on 'puter screen. I could probably fool w/it some more,(& I might) but I'm hungry!

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

wvgal_dana You have an e-male
from me Did vou see my photos

Dave

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

O!O! That is you have an E-Mail

dave

paula eagleholic said...

BWE - either there was a very late switch, or eagle had to do a poop shoot! Eagle was at very far right corner of nest...now back on snoozing chicklets.

paula eagleholic said...

Belle awake and alert..looking to the left

paula eagleholic said...

Her head is nodding now...

Costume Lady said...

Isn't Belle usually sound asleep by now? Things must be happening:)

hedgie said...

I couldn't tell anything from the pic, either...glare is just too bad.

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Paula on that idea.

Blogger cop is lurking around grrrr

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Dave thank you will try things tomorrow.

Lolly said...

Going to split soon!

Have posted more pictures...a lot, so when you get to the bottom be sure to click "older posts", to see all the pictures.

Jack is snoring on the sofa. Guess I am not good company! :)

Sounds like you are questioning whether one has hatched or not. hmmmm?????

paula eagleholic said...

Doing some preening

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, Lolly, still waiting for a better peek! Maybe you wore Jack out today!

floralgirl said...

Great pics, Lolly, looks like you are having fun. Thanks for the Wildseed farm pics:)

Mits said...

my 30 second is working but don't think my live feed is, did not see preening

Lolly said...

Yeah, I probably did. He was so sweet to let me browse in stores. Not that I buy much if at all, but I do enjoy looking. I did get some placemats as a Christmas present for my DIL. And, he enjoys garden stores as much as I do!
