Thanks Steve for new thread & Yes the snow missed our nest so far!
Radar shows snow has stopped at BW.
There's a Mason update:)
Zoo is closed....no good pics from the panda cam then, just saw a panda running across the yard, they love the snow, but keepers do not have the time to work the cams, sometimes when they pass the cam room they try to put it on the pandas.
Mason's update

mORNIN Mits, Norma, Jo, Megan.
They really got some snow at BW! Look at that box of Winter on the BWO cam. ...And the total ground cover too.
Amazing the chick came through all that.
I hope you all have a safe and fun day today. It looks like it will get up to at least 70° here in So Cal. Not bad; I'll take it.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
70° you say, well here today northwest winds will average around 15 mph with occasional gusts up to 30 mph. Temps will fall into the lower 20s. Wind chills will be near 10 above.

Good morning all! First thing I did was check BWE and saw that fantastic picture. LOL Snow White what a great name!
Jo.....sure hope your granddaughter goes back to the hospital today. Oh, I hate it when they send them back home. They did that to Laurel for her first and we were half way there when she called. Went on up there and we all ate a big Mexican food meal. And, she went back to school the next day to teach.
Oh, that snow! Sure hope it goes away fast and hope it avoids our nest.
Sure hope Candy is eating Green Eggs and ham at school today. I always did that at school. Oh, the laughter when I added the green food coloring! It was so much fun. Most of the kids would gobble it up! Then they would color a paper ribbon that I taped to them that said "I love Green Eggs and Ham!" or "I do NOT like..etc."
can see the sun showing on the snow at BWE
Jim....I definitly do not like our hot summers here in Texas, but this time of year, I love the weather. We are presently 42, on our way to the 60's and bright sunshine!
Maybe Lisa should head to the nest with a shovel or hair dryer and a nice wool blanket.
This was posted on the BWO page:
Weather Update:
Around the refuge, they got about 5-6 inches of snow -- a very large amount for the Eastern Shore. The sun will be out tomorrow, although very cold weather will remain for a day or so.

SHARON, great news on your healing.
BWE update on Website
Good news in that we've seen the eaglet stand up and also receive its first meal.
A reminder that the second egg could hatch as early as today.
Did I hear somewhere that Lisa can go to a 20 second update at BWE?
that is good news....cloudy and snowing again here....going to eat my nice bagel and cream cheese and go out to shovel the walkway, the double driveways are on their own.
yes, Paula, they are thinking about it.
Eagle eating fish at BWO
eagle at BWO with food.
In all the eaglet excitement, I had to go back and find Sharon's report. Great news, Sharon. I sure hope the appointment this weeks means no more Hoover!
Nice snow pics, Loretta!
Great looking fish....ha,ha. Not too bloody! I missed the feeding but figured it had happened when I saw the fish!
She would probably have to do a minute at the Osprey cam then.
correct, until the osprey come back.
BWE---pop up----little one's 1st meal!!---can you believe that??
woooo, is that the juvie now at BWO
BOTH BWE
Juvie at BWO now

maybe it was she at the bWo platform
Egg roll- our nest
Eagle up our nest
Zillion of them anteater varmits at Ecuador, fighting over bananas!
OH PAULA!!---(I am always a day late & a dollar short)---ho!---I almost had tears -- watching that little BABY EAGLET eat!!
If that is the same male at BWE, he certainly is a good dad now!
WAX SHARON
Eagle flew out at BWE- no switch
Panda under a snowy tree at NZ!
Looks like BWE eagles switched when first fish was brought in, Think that's Dad on the nest, Mom was at BWO, then brought her catch back to nest...now She's gone, Dad on chick/egg duty at BWE
that is the coatis, Sissy
SISSY---He has MATURED!!---hasn't he?----JO & I were wondering if this is the same EAGLE!---ho!

Yep, Paula, that's right..
Headed over to Hagerstown to have lunch with gd from Phily.
BBL
I can't believe the BW lunch.......
I never can remember their names, coati. Thanks Mits!! Sharon said she has a rufous-sided towhee out there. They are early this year.
I am sure the male has matured... it takes time to learn...
And look, it's Dad on the chick now... :)
MORNIN' NATURENUT!---WOW---TV showing DC'S snow!!---Did you get snow?
15.2" of snow in Leonardtown,MD!!!!!
Great closeup of NBG snoozing---some snow in nest.
Oh, cool, NBG cam is back up, thanks Loretta...
Just watched another side of this storm!!---HARDWARE STORE OWNER---saying that this storm had been a life saver for them!!---Selling lots of SHOVEL---SALT, etc.---never thought of that------
WHOA! HEDGIE---That's a lot of snow!!
Norma, we got great snow! Put some pics on blog from last night, but there's more now!
Needless to say mtg I had for today was canceled. YAY!!!
Megan, good nest pic---& love your possum! Boy, you got close. Most I've seen show those sharp snarly teeth when you approach.
Red tail in Tulsa!
Believe we just had a switch our nest
They zoomed in on the red-tail, very pretty hawk!
Looks much brighter at our nest..no snow I can see. Aren't we due for chick in a couple days?
wow, Deb that is a beauty
Squirrels at Saline & turkeys in & out at Pix PA.
Loretta, in all likelihood, the weekend will be our hatch-watch! Fri.is 35th day.
Tom Riffe is so funny. He goes to the store and pays all that money for extra lean ground beef, brings it home and fries it in Crisco oil!!
His triglycerides are through the roof, so he is supposed to be watching his fat.
Suz is on her way home...pray that she has a safe trip....thinks home will be fine, but it's the inbetween route!
Awww, Steve posted the pic of the BWE baby!
Friday WILL BE our first hatching day!
well, his mind is half way there.
And what is wrong with Crisco oil?
What a weird crossword day. One puzzle clue was "aerie hatchlings"---eaglets, of course! Another was "emerge from a shell"-hatch. And, "raptor nest"-aerie........puzzle writers must be momsters/dadsters!
Time for lunch w/ Marie....Pot Pie...love the crust! BBL.
Has anyone posted a video of Snow White being fed?
Yeah, closer than it was, I reckon. And, by the way, Ms. Sharon Lea, there is absolutely NOTHING WRONG WITH CRISCO!!!! (except in the arteries). ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
still some bands of snow going thru Cambridge, MD
Alrighty then!! ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
I have been using a water bottle on the dogs to try to get them to stop barking at every movement. They scatter when I pick this spray bottle up, it is so funny!
For those of you who might now know, our maiden name is (and Andrew's last name) CRISCO!!!!!!
glug, glug, what's that noise...oh its Tom's arteries...enjoy your lunch Tom:)
now I want fried chicken....Megan is your mil frying any :)?
SISSY!!---But you still LOVE 'EM!!
ho!
hmm, was going to take pics of backyard, camera not working.
BEAUTIFUL SHARON!!----I am on to you!---I KNEW THAT! ho!!
Oh, that is so funny! I was thinking what is up with "what is wrong with Crisco oil". ROFLMBO
And now you know the rest of the story!!
(May he rest in peace)
Surprise Asteroid Makes Near-Miss of Earth
Monday, March 02, 2009
Did you hear that whooshing sound?
A small asteroid buzzed by Earth Monday, though only real astronomy geeks in the Pacific would have noticed.
The rock, estimated to be no more than 200 feet wide, zoomed past our planet at an altitude of 40,000 miles at 1:44 p.m. universal time — or 8:44 EST.
Dubbed 2009 DD45, it was discovered only on Friday by Australian astronomers.
Forty thousand miles may sound like a lot, but it's only about one-seventh of the way to the moon, and less than twice as far out as many telecommunications satellites.
Had 2009 DD45 hit the Earth, it would have exploded on or near the surface with the force of a large nuclear blast — not very reassuring when you consider humanity had only about three days' notice.
According to the Australian news Web site Crikey, the asteroid is likely to be drawn in by Earth's gravity, meaning it may return for many more near misses in the future.
I thought I heard something
WHOA!!----thanks SISSY---i didn't know about "LEA"!!
That was a real fun name to grow up with, let me tell ya. FAT IN A CAN, LARD A**, stuff like that.
Sorry, no fried chicken here....got fresh oatmeal cookies just out of the oven though..
Snow falling at NBG.
Checked CO SITE----EAGLE should hatch EARLY MARCH!
Eagle at Maine.
When will they lay eggs?
MEGAN---You are a GREAT MOM!----I used to make cookies often & my youngest told me 'I was a good cookie MOM'----
latest post on the Mama owl cam....
Mama Owl is gone
Thank you to all who have dedicated so many hours to watching Mama owl over the past several years. It is with great sorrow that we inform you of her passing. She was found deceased on February 10, 2009 under a palm tree at the Environment Studies Area of the campus.
Thank you for sharing this awesome experience with us and for the opportunity to bring nature to your desktop. We hope you enjoyed the antics of all the generations of her young. Because it is a great location from which to hunt we are hopeful that another owl or bird of prey will find the nest and we'll be able to continue sharing this look into the natural world with you.
With Sympathy,
Marlene Hensley-Benton
It took them long enough to post the news, we only just found out last week:(
Sissy...
Mar 5 - 8
I heard they were hoping the male would find a new mate and use the ledge, then the news wouldn't have been quite so bad.
I'll send you the eagle info table from Judy, think she is on the Maine forum, takes a little while for her to update, but it is a good handy chart to have.
just sent you the chart, Sissy
yes, Deb, read that too, was so much fun watching it last year..
Cookies works for me...
That stick from last night, or a new one, is still sticking straight up in our nest!
So happy to see that Snow White is here and has such dedicated parents.
A dusting of snow here in western PA, glad the storm missed us. We have had our share this winter. It is mighty cold outside though.
Who came up with the Snow White name? Good call!
I think that was Wanda:)
Jack is smoking meat and has decided the wind is down to enough to burn leaves and fallen limbs. I went out for a few minutes, it is 57, but like I said, no wind...so I am heading out myself. Too nice to be in!
Aahh, thanks Megan...I do recall that now...didn't computer earlier!
Jack just made reservations and purchased train tickets. In three weeks we are taking the boys, Joseph and Jacob, on a two night trip to east Texas. Going to take a train ride on a steam engine, will get to see the Dogwood in bloom! Wish we could take Zach as well, but do not think his Mother would allow that.
Lolly, I am so jealous!! Do you need some company?
PAULA---You are just too easy!--ho!
Did you see that NBG is up again?? Good as new.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Sure, come along Sissy! The more the merrier!
yes, Jim we did:)
Be back later! Take good pictures! Heading out!
I wish I could Lolly!! Maybe some day!!
MORNIN' GRANNYBLT!---I checked PA SITE this am & I noticed no snow--Wondered if you had snow!--- Did you see the 'NEW CHICK'---adorable---isn't he??
The hummingbird feeder in Ecuador is getting empty. Juan needs to come and fill it up!
SISSY---I'll go with you on the train ride!! ho!

BOTH BWE

MEGAN---That sounds like a wonderful class!!!----
