SPLIT!

Mits said...

yes we did....:)

Mema Jo said...

AND HERE I AM

paula eagleholic said...

Wow is that 2 fish in the snow at BWE - fabulous!

Mema Jo said...

Had a very delightful lunch up in Hagerstown with our gd who lives/works up in Philly. NO NEW BABY NEWS!

It is good to see all the fishes and the new pics of the eaglet on Lisa's site.

I see that MEGAN's PIC is on our home page.

paula eagleholic said...

Lord & Lady BW both brought in a fish...

deb said...

Yes, two fish remaining, the third one was eaten a little while ago.

paula eagleholic said...

Nice pic at BWE...looks like the shell is getting smushed into the nest.

wvgal_dana said...

Back eaten lunch read comments while watching cams. Seen both in nest at BWE and I guess it was the 2nd feeding. ( : Love there was fish in nest now there are two. NEAT DAD IS DOING GREAT THIS YEAR!!

See I got my wish that it stopped snowing at BWE.

No baby yet for Jo....on its way.

deb said...

I see the shell right by the eagle's head. It took me a bit to find it.

Mema Jo said...

BBL In about an hour

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hmmm, an hour, sounds like a panda nap to me!

wvgal_dana said...

Jo is that a panda cap or panda nap hee hee

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Do you all remember the time that Jo went to the loo and disappeared for hours? I thought we were going to have to send out the National Guard to find her but she showed back up! :)

Mits said...

roflmbo....yes remember that one, Sharon.

Mits said...

she is like a hummingbird, just in and out, back and forth.

Mits said...

well walkway is done, now wonder if the mail person will come, technically, snow does not have to be off walkway til 24 hours after it stops snowing....it just stopped about 30 minutes ago.

wvgal_dana said...

Jo is well known for "poop shoots" and "loo" ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Is there a link for the red tail hawk in Tulsa?

paula eagleholic said...

Mama keeping the bowl nice and dry at BWE...wings spread out slightly

Mits said...

hmmm, maybe someone upstairs is telling me not to go to the ocean:)

Lisa said...

Hi all

Like that our photo was front-paged. :-)

Sorry I haven't been around -- busy watching the little one and answering email questions.

But thanks for all your warm thoughts here regarding our tough little eaglet.

Mits said...

thanks for stopping by, Lisa, we are all very excited for your new little one:)

hedgie said...

Mits, I think you should stay home for another day!!! We sure don't want to have to worry about you blowing away!!
Think that Margy is not having a good day....a lot of bad-sounding emergencies. She may need a big group hug tonight.

Mits said...

I'm getting the picture, Lynn, I changed my day at zoo, so while hubby was gone all week could go down and attend to some things...yes we will all give Margy a big group hug...sun is finally out here a little more then before.

Mits said...

egg and chick alone at BWE

Mits said...

that was fast, back on, don't know if my pic captured it

paula eagleholic said...

Hi Lisa! Bet you are getting emails and pics out the wazoo!!

:):)

wvgal_dana said...

Lisa did you name the chick yet?

wvgal_dana said...

Lynn with the wind and all. I'm sure Margy is BUSY! Even on 81 the wind would grab the car.

hedgie said...

Dana, haven't heard much about wrecks....fires, and medical calls....

Mits said...

lone turkey at Pix

Mits said...

well he just ran off really fast...

Mits said...

maybe a hen, because a bunch of males just appeared.

NatureNut said...

Big black kitty wandered into Saline, but left. Didn't like the menu, I guess!
We got some sun here, too, but 30 out & going to be frigid!

Mits said...

BRS has had a lot of problems getting unloaded today, will not start out next trip til tomorrow...poor guy

Mits said...

first time this winter, I am actually seeing some icicles forming around the house, not big ones, thank heavens.

wvgal_dana said...

Yep that goes with the life of a truck driver. Lots of times load not ready. Other times have a load and can't get it off. Then poorly these days guys have problems getting loads.

Mits said...

hey Sissy, Juan Vadez put some more hummer liquid in the red tank:)

deb said...

Both of my cams are stuck, are yours stuck too?

Clock changes, but picture doesn't.

NatureNut said...

Talk about bizarre----have PA, WVEC (NBG), & Saline cams up on tabs on one page. just clicked on NBG & Saline feeders are showing!!!!

deb said...

Great update on my Uncle Bob:
Hurrah! Bob gets to come home on March 3rd so we are gathering stuff up to bring home. It is amazing how much you accumulate at the hospital. It has been two months and two days so he is as anxious as we all are. He got to come home both Sat. and Sun. and sit in his own chair to watch golf. These home visits are getting better. We shut and locked all the doors this time! I must admit that I forgot my purse when I ran to the grocery store. I was too busy writing down neighbor's emergency phone numbers. A pocket full of car and house keys does not go far at Safeway! Luckily, I noticed before I got in the store... We need check lists! And sleep...

deb said...

My cam just unstuck!

wvgal_dana said...

SISSY left on your blog a comment about what our paper had about the building falling down in Bluefield.

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - Blackwater always has a contest to name the chicks....later on...

paula eagleholic said...

Good news Deb, glad to hear it!

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Paula I did forget that..duh me.

I FOUND the Tulsa red tail hawk cam..I put it in favorities where it didn't belong. Right place in there now.

deb said...

Snow White is out!

wvgal_dana said...

Deb I know you and all the family including your Uncle are so happy. Nothing like HOME !

Mema Jo said...

So I was gone more then one hour & yes I heard you mentioning loos and poop shoots! lol

DEB - great news about your uncle.

Lisa - We are so very happy for you knowing how dedicated you are! What we are seeing with the snow, the cam down, fish and an anxious little eaglet to get started with its life gives us all a warm feeling! Thanks for visiting us!

Mits said...

great news Deb:)

Mema Jo said...

Snow White Blackwater is quite a name to fly on!!! lol

deb said...

I was just thinking Snow White's initials are good: SW at BW!

Mits said...

SWB for short:)

hedgie said...

Sounds like great news on Uncle Bob, Deb. What did she mean about locking all the doors???
I've had that tab situation before, too...also have had the blog stay up on a different tab!!
No tabs for opening up other windows on this netbook w/ Windows XP...at least not that I can find...argh!!!

Mits said...

think there was just an egg roll our nest, but not sure it was herky jerky and freezing on me:(

wvgal_dana said...

Yes there was an egg roll at our nest.

Mema Jo said...

Has anyone checked out the nest to see what that weird stick was last night that freaked us out? I guess it is the stick still there in the nest sticking straight up.......

Mits said...

Paula, did mention the stick earlier, Jo, you were in the "loo".

wvgal_dana said...

If that stays there sticking up toward the sky like that. It might be "Jack's Bean Stalk".....oh the eaglets will love climbing that.

deb said...

Lynn, the first home visit they left the front door wide open when they headed back to Barrows. The second one they left the garage door open. That wouldn't be to bad here, but in Scottsdale, I think they were lucky nothing happened. This weekend they got remembered to close everything!

wvgal_dana said...

Pretty scenery at LW but no eagles.

deb said...

I knew I shouldn't have mentioned the cam being so good this morning.

Mema Jo said...

I'm sure that name will be submitted when contest starts at BWE

deb said...

Take out that extra word: got. I need to start proofreading before I post.

Mema Jo said...

I am going to go check crock pot meal - Son having dinner with us.

BBILW

Mits said...

mail just came and snow plow went up the street....:):):)

Mits said...

its those brain cells, Deb, they just bounce around sometimes.

hedgie said...

Deb, how scary. Fortunate they didn't get robbed!!! Too many things are their minds, I guess, which is understandable.

Mema Jo said...

I really wasn't in the loo - I was taking a Panda Nap....

So did you say it was the same stick?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I probably would hate to see sometimes what I type in these medical documents!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Same stick and Jo, I knew it was a panda nap, be back in an hour tells that! :)

Mema Jo said...

Going to set the table for dinner & chat with son for awhile.........

BBL

Mits said...

same stick..

wvgal_dana said...

Jim usually does this oh where is he. I'll try Jim

I read this on the Maine forum:

BOP, isn't he being terrific?!.....maybe he got tutored by Lib at NCTC over the fall months.

Good praise for our Lib!

Costume Lady said...

That is a really nice picture, Dana. Shoebutton is very talented:)

NatureNut said...

Deb, great news about your Uncle!

Gonna be high of 32 here tomorrow, with breeze! Gotta pull out all the clothing layers!I bought a size bigger pair of jeans so I can get themals underneath.I doubt if we'll have many visitors at Park, maybe I can stay home--LOL. I do want to see that NO ospreys came in.Weekend will be rain & 60's!

wvgal_dana said...

WANDA since Red is taking classes in that type of things. Maybe he can do that....I think he can !

NatureNut said...

I see about 3 upright sticks in our nest. Wonder if it was wind or new ones that fell!? Hazardess to your health.

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Lord Baltimore is doing MUCH BETTER this year, than last, (if it is the same male). But, some of those fish were brought in by LADY BALTIMORE...lets give her some credit...she is not suffering from post partum depression!

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Dana, we are expecting BIG things from Red:)

Costume Lady said...

Maybe those sticks in our nest are the begining of a shelter. LOL

hedgie said...

Cool, Dana...wonder how she did the snowflakes??!!

deb said...

I am off to a basketball game, not to see the game, but to watch one of the cheerleaders. I'll be back later tonight. I just did a round of nest checks, not much happening. There isn't a picture yet at Kent. I was hoping for a connection there today.

TTUL

Mits said...

chick in view again

Mits said...

eagle might be preparing meal for it

Mits said...

yes feeding going on, both at BWE

NatureNut said...

Everybody there at BW!!!!

Costume Lady said...

Just noticed that our Megan got credit for the BWE chicklet photo on our Home Page. Good going, Megan! That is not an easy thing to do. Have to be there at the right place, right time :)

Mits said...

chick looks strong

NatureNut said...

Feeding Baby!!!

Mits said...

from the size of the eagles almost looks like it is dad

Mema Jo said...

Did anyone enlarge the pic at BWE during the feeding to see IF that is a pip hole
in the top of the other egg!

Mits said...

yes, I did, and sent it to Lisa to see what she thinks

Mema Jo said...

lol Ok Wanda - you actually did what I have to keep myself from NOT doing
Say Lord & Lady BLACKWATER
not Batltimore!

Costume Lady said...

I did, looks like a hole to me. Wild and Wonderful.

Mits said...

other egg looks kind of mottled, like maybe breaking open, but that is just what it looks like on my pics

NatureNut said...

I have 2 pics of other egg w/black speck. Can't tell if hole, or dirt.

Costume Lady said...

Lord and Lady Blackwater was a SLIP of the finger, but I think I like it:)

paula eagleholic said...

Pretty late evening colors at BWO & BWE

hedgie said...

Double digit below zero windchills tonight here....brrr...sure feel sorry for all creatures, w/ or w/o fur or feathers.
24 degrees now, and falling. It was 30 at 2pm.
Decided not to go to visitation in town tonight....cold air and wind NOT good for lung power....funeral service in the morning at nearby church, so will go for the service but not cemetery.

Mema Jo said...

SW-BW in veiw - Parents off the nest

Mema Jo said...

Right back on the nest before the comment even published! I'm not as fast as I used to be....

Mema Jo said...

Wanda - Do you remember the Lord Baltimore hotel?

Costume Lady said...

No, I don't remember that hotel, Jo. Don't think.

Costume Lady said...

Lynn, it is not fit for man or beast out there today. Just walking to the car to go to GeeGee's was a chore. The wind just chilled my bones!

NatureNut said...

Put a couple of Snow White pics on blog that show spot on other egg!

Mits said...

eagle at HI

Mits said...

doing nestorations, sound is good

hedgie said...

How is GeeGee today, Wanda?

NatureNut said...

Mentioning sticks in nest earlier reminded me of yesterday's snowstorm. Was showing Fubby the poor wet & snowcovered birds yesterday, & he asked, "why don't they put up a canopy?" Maybe that's what Belle & Lib are doing! LOL
My NBG cam is black.

hedgie said...

Tell Frank that they would conk their heads on a canopy when they do a take-off or incoming, Loretta!!!!!
At least for the spring and summer the leaves offer SOME protection.

Mits said...

would not be a good idea, since the eaglets fly straight up when they are practicing take-offs, beside it would be human interference, and as hard as it is to watch sometimes, sure we don't want to mess with real nature:)

Mits said...

both at HI

Lisa said...

We'll have the eaglet-naming contest when the chicks are a bit older.

carolinabeachmom said...

Hello all! It was sure nice to get on here and see that BW has a healthy baby chick. I was really surprised at the amount of snow on the nest, tho. I hope the chick stays warm. I take it that BW thinks it will be ok, I hope.

Our nest got lucky this time. Thank goodness.

carolinabeachmom said...

We got no snow down here; just rain, but it is freezing cold out there and the wind is howling.

No word on Jo's ggbaby yet, I take it.

Mits said...

both at BWE

carolinabeachmom said...

Both eagles in BW now.

Mits said...

SWB on view

carolinabeachmom said...

oh at the baby

hedgie said...

Just saw my white-shouldered hawk, but he landed in a tree behind some big ones so that I couldn't get a shot of him. Also two titmice doing what looked like a mating dance in the air.

paula eagleholic said...

That is a hole in the other egg...check it out now...

Costume Lady said...

Lynn, GeeGee was the best she has been in 2 weeks. She said she felt more like herself. She said it was probably the chicken and pasta I fixed her yesterday. I made her enough for 2 meals, and she ate it all at one setting! Pleased me so much. She says she is not hungry, but when I put food in front of her, she eats well. She just needs some extra TLC:)

paula eagleholic said...

Eating time at BWE

Egg roll our nest

Mits said...

egg turning our nest

carolinabeachmom said...

Feeding time at BWE. The hole still seems to be in the other egg.

paula eagleholic said...

Lisa posted at BWE that we do have a second hatching underway!

paula eagleholic said...

Catch ya'll later...

NatureNut said...

Hot Dog----another eaglet already!!!!

NatureNut said...

Were 2 at our nest---one just left...

hedgie said...

Wanda, my grandma was the same way...don't think that she was too lazy to fix her food after Pop passed, but think she just didn't like eating alone...and find that mom is pretty much the same way. Company seems to be the key. Glad she ate well, and that makes her feel better!
Wow....another hatching going on. Our eagle-eye momsters know their stuff!

Mits said...

hmmm, fish was a BWE just a couple of minutes ago, now it is gone.

hedgie said...

(((GROUP HUG FOR MARGY)))

Mits said...

(((((hugs)))) for MARGY

Mema Jo said...

My live feed is working.

It will be great if SWB's sibling hatches so quickly. Might eliminate the
'pecking order' !

Mits said...

Tonight's menu for Saline critters....

Tonight's menu:

Salmon cat food
Dry cat food
Salami (cotto)
Apple wedges
Steamed clams
T-Bone Steak

Mema Jo said...

Do you notice that the apple wedges are the last to go!

Mema Jo said...

Where is Margy?

hedgie said...

WShe might be catching up on mail and blog, or maybe hasn't gottenhome yet....but we're here for her whenever she chimes in!

Mits said...

she is not here yet...

wvgal_dana said...

(((((((((((((((((((((MARGY)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

wvgal_dana said...

THERE IS AN EGG AT DECORAH didn't get the picture in time!!!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Female is incubating it.

Costume Lady said...

MARGY, hugs & kisses if you have had a rough day, and if it hasn't been rough, you can have them anyway:)XXXXXXXOOOOOOO

Mits said...

Margy is around, I'm getting emails of pics I sent her way....

Costume Lady said...

LORETTA's panda photos are adorable. Be sure to look at them if you haven't already (email).

Mits said...

the pandas are great, my friend had sent them to me in lieu of a BD card this year:)

magpie said...

Oh Hello, and a grand Eagle at LW ☺

Hi all! Been working in the yard all day and now I need to thaw out. I was getting chilled before I came in.

I love this blog! Been reading through it and chuckling. Thanks for the giggles.

Margy....hope your day has not been too bad. (((((hugs))))

So, Snow White or SWB is going to have a sibling soon. Hurrah! Her little brother should be "Frosty"

Mema Jo said...

Howdy Margy!

paula eagleholic said...

(((Extra Hugs for Margy today)))

Mits said...

yes, she had a rough day.....(((hugs to Margy)))).

Mits said...

off to fix some dinner...bbs

magpie said...

Thanks for your kind greetings and hugs, folks...had some rough calls at work today, 4 year old died in a fire, mother in critical condition, and another infant died from unk causes.....very sad for these victims and families.

So very good to hear of good news regarding Deb's uncle, and GeeGee.

It is good to come home to friends...
xo

floralgirl said...

Whoa- (((hugs))) for sure, Margy, that is rough. How awful for the families.

magpie said...

Megan
I heard Washington County, calling Shepherdstown to send an ambulance to the accident on your road...knew it was pretty close to your house, I was quite panicked! And very glad to read that you Heard about it, but were not IN It !
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

floralgirl said...

BWE eagle up-can't see eaglet or egg

floralgirl said...

Back down..
Roads were so slick this morning, with the wind blowing snow back onto them.

magpie said...

Those ARE quick little egglet/eaglet checks at BWE

magpie said...

I have the first 200 Blog posts from this thread to read, back in a few, know there will be some treats "back there..." ☺

Mema Jo said...


(((((((((MORE HUGS FOR MARGY))))))))))
He will hold you in the Palm of His Hands

Mema Jo said...

What say you Market Master Megan !!
It is what it is....... lol

wvgal_dana said...

DECORAH IOWA EAGLE HAS LAID HER 1ST EGG TODAY I mentioned it earlier.

Mema Jo said...

The second pic of the eaglet & the egg that Lisa put on her news is so adorable.
I am trying so hard to remember the Puget Sound eaglet with his egg that never hatched. Did we call him Eggbert?

wvgal_dana said...

We have yet to lay eggs:

Puget Sound Eagles
Kent Eagles
Lake Washington
Seal Rocks
Both Maine
Libby Dam Montana

Let's see is there any others in California that I missed?

Costume Lady said...

Here is a little scripture for Margy, I think it is suitable for what she has experienced today:

AND LET US NOT GROW WEARY WHILE
DOING GOOD, FOR IN DUE SEASON WE SHALL REAP IF WE DO NOT LOSE HEART.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Prayers for those families Magpie. Today is the absolute worst day of their lives and changes it forever!!

You really are one of the good guys Magpie, always looking out for others. Wish you lived closer!! Then we could look out for you some!

paula eagleholic said...

YAY for the IA eagles!!

Thanks for the news, Dana!

Mema Jo said...

Dana - I'm not certain that the Puget Sound nest is active anymore. I'll try to read up on it on Wild Watch and let you know.

magpie said...

Beautiful verse, Wanda and thanks. And thanks again all for all the comforting hugs, I will share them in prayer with those with loss here in Martinsburg today...and the emergency providers who did the best they could.

Thinking of you Sissy,
and I want to share ALL these great hugs on here with you and Tom...
xo

wvgal_dana said...

MARGY YOU HAVE MAIL

magpie said...

It was nice to read about the Liberty, Belle and egglets views here today too!
That bird-watching class at NCTC - sure sounds tempting! Wonder how many of those classes and field trips I could work in with my work schedule. Anyone on here thinking of doing this? Can't beat the price!

magpie said...

When I grow up, I want to be like everyone on this Blog...☺

floralgirl said...

I would love to take it, but I can't make any of the field trips:(

paula eagleholic said...

They took Puget sound down last year...I thought they said the eagles moved on, but I'm not sure...

floralgirl said...

BWe is up and blocking the view...

paula eagleholic said...

And yes, JO, you remembered correctly...Eggbert was at Puget Sound

paula eagleholic said...

Margy - I would love to do the class, but can't make the trips on Saturdays...

magpie said...

Think that would be my problem too, Megan....might be worth it just to go the lectures, though, those are some heavy duty lecturers...BUT I MIGHT END UP ON NIGHT SHIFT AGAIN IN APRIL :(


I think they should offer a spot to Deb to give a lecture or two, or just bring her photos and make everyone fall over ! xox

magpie said...

Well, another time perhaps for all of us, Paula....we must let them know what schedule would suit US ☺

Sure glad that Asteroid that Mits mentioned, missed our planet! Moonie and Venus looking pretty swanky tonight! Cold, but swanky!

magpie said...

Well Mema, your grand-daughter has just a few more hours to have that baby tonight...then baby would celebrate the same birthday as Snow White ☺

About time to drown some bubbles, hate to think I will miss Belle moving around, AND Lady, Lord and Baby Blackwater/s also

Back in a little while (got to check out Loretta's pics first!)

xo

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - Delta nest...If it comes on...and do you have Hornby Island on your list....

And Twin Rocks in CA...hopefully they will get the cam back on...

paula eagleholic said...

BWE up again, but can't see chicklet and egg

Mema Jo said...

Margy - That new baby may need to
celebrate with Little Frosty at BWE
OR how about sharing it with one
of OUR NCTC eaglets and even a momster or 2 on the 6TH!

Whoo Hoo

Enjoy your bubbles!

Mits said...

she did not give us a peek just now:(

paula eagleholic said...

Up again at BWE...almost can see...

floralgirl said...

Darn, I wish that cam had a quicker refresh... she's up again.

Mits said...

strange noises at Saline

Mits said...

BWE eagle is sure moving around a lot

Mits said...

ah ha, it was the raccoon, just came by snatched up something and ran away.

Mits said...

lol....he grabbed the steak and ran away again....he first had his lettuce.
