Morning all. Jim, MM and I are off to Gaithersburg for a Church luncheon. Then a birthday party. See you all later. Lynn the dog killing was in Patuxent MD I think. Horrible. Women had surgery and this guy said he would watch her dog. Decided could not watch it and told her he was taking it to the pound. Wish he had she could have gotten it back. Took it to the woods and shot it three times Have a great day all.
Have a Great Day Ceil and Mary Margaret....xoxo ♥ ♥
I am off, too, but want to be back home by noon. I am meeting my sister for breakfast, then do my errands and get out before traffic gets bad.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Wish Steve could have given us some hope for getting our Live Feed back. Maybe I'll ride down to NCTC and watch their closed circuit TV. Wonder if they would let me in?
Two our nest !
Was that not a strange view:
Liberty look totally white, did not get a pic of it Drat!
Belle gone...
Hedgie
That lady on the Early Morning show used to be on CNN right ?
Everybody outside have their dogs with them....☺
Wanda
They might.....
let you in to watch that is...
Couple of Toms now at Pix PA
Yes, Norma....I love Yanni! Hsve seen him in concert 3 times!! Think I have every video and CD!! BTW...a big fact totally eluded this feeble brain...with all the hype about Syracuse....I forgot that my dad got his journalism degree there!! It was one of the earliest correspondance programs back in the '50's...not like being a campus alum, but still his alma mater.
MARGY!---BELLE & LIB are good!!---They just don't share info!!---Must have had a bit of training from CIA!!!
Puppy getting a bath on Channel 9
☺
Okay another chance coming up...
Good One, Norma...you are SO Right ! No views, top secret !
HEDGIE---I thought I heard you yelling for SYRACUSE--ho!!--We lost in overtime!!!---GOOD SCHOOL!!
Cool piece of info Hedgie, about your Dad and Syracuse...makes the WVU loss a little easier to bear ☺
Well I got a Big TO DO list today which I keep putting off until Tomorrow!
Take good notes everyone...
I'll be lurking and watching for sure ☺
FINNEY-- snow in nest!--not much!
Ha Ha Morning Show now taking about Mussels...reminds me of You. Norma - Muscle Lady !
xo TTFN xo
...Talking about mussels..not taking about them .
I better go...
Toms are really showing off at Pix
Norma, Suzanne and Margy love Yanni, too!
Good morning! Yet another cold rainy day. Did you know our winter comes after a short sprng?
Can not get out and enjoy the blossoms but over the last few days watched the grass start turning green. :)
Remember the other evening when we we wondering what Belle was doing at the edge of the nest? Do you think she could have been discarding the first egg? I am thinking it started to hatch but did not make it. We saw a dark spot.
Today I am staying home and doing some work with pictures. I am behind in printing pics.
Margy, yes she still is on CNN...pulls double duty!
EGG ROLL-- at HH!---Think more pine cones have been added!!!
WANDA!---Do you have your CLIMBING BOOTS on?----YOU GO GIRL!!!---If you get caught---I know some attys in the area!!---
Oh Hedgie: ..how could they cut that solo from the show ???
I always feel so gypped when that stuff happens, think it is part of the reason I don't watch television much ! that does not happen on the Public Television Shows ! thanks for the tip, it was nice anyway....xoxo
Make that the DUET, not the solo, Hedge...thinking two but typing one
They have a bad habit of doing that on that show. But pop in the tape if you have time and you can see the really inspiring full version!!
Would be fun to have sound when the TURKEY begin to strut & the TOMS show the HENS their feathers!!! SUZANNE got some good pics last year!!
Good morning everyone, I was happy to see Syracuse win, my friend that sits next to me at football games is an alum, and my next door neighbors's son just graduated from there....:)

2 TV's at BWO
sometimes they eat, sometimes they just toss them out..., the site I gave you all yesterday of the eagles that live in the protected center, she toss her bad egg out.
TV party....at BWO
Two Our Nest....did she bring food or what ?
Good Morning All
Don't see any sunshine outside yet.
No plans for the day - just going to sit tight! lol
BOTH
I see 1 egg
Move ! We want to see the eggs !
GOGGLED---They never throw the shell away!---but some times will push the unhatched egg aside!!!---
BEST THING I READ!!!
"DON'T COUNT YOUR CHICKS BEFORE THEY HATCH"----That says it all!!
WOW Good view now
I'd say all 3
eggs in view
Did I just see 3 eggs??
Down on eggs
I saw three, one looks misshapen, and looks like it has a dark spot on it
Will put on my Roost...
Hi Mema !
I saw all 3 eggs too. Got 2 good pics of them.
Good morning, Mema Jo!!!! So glad to "see" you!
MORNIN' HELEN!!---I was most certain the EAGLES ate the unhatched eggs the year ours didn't hatch!---I remember BELLE--(an EAGLEMOMSTER)--explaining it all!!---WISH she would rejoin our group---
WHOA MITS!!---Why did I already know that!!!---ho!
think the one with the black hole is still the one from the 6th of March...sent out pics, think we all got the same shots
know what, Norma????
well guess there is still a chance for 1 egg to hatch.
Good morning all! Maybe today's the day??
foggy day at Finland nest...Finney's nest still MT, should be awile before they come back
Well that took forever but I put two pictures on my Roost link, they are in reverse order from what I meant to do, but not going back to change it right now.
xo
I guess sitting here is on my TO DO List xo
MORNIN' JO!!!----You certainly brighten the day for everyone!!---or I should say---"YOU LIGHT UP OUR LIVES..."----
Thanks Mits...good pics, I posted one from when both were in the nest looking up before we got to see the eggs
BRS is east of Tulsa...
"handsome" EEwwiiee at BWO but he just looked away now
We need those Eewwiiees...
NORFOLK LADY---was moving the twigs in her nest---got a feather in her beak!-- hard time getting it out!!! (was funny to watch)
Well, I just had to go out in the rain and get Hairy out of the butthole neighbor's yard. Becky let Hairy out this morning and I had a bad feeling the little brat was doing to end up there. The neighbor must not have known he was there because he didn't come out to fuss. It is cold and yucky-rainy out there.
looks like a calm day, weather wise, at Caltran.
MORNIN' BLUEFIELD SHARON & SISSY!!
You probably have heard---WVU lost game in overtime!!!----COACH HUGGINS had on the same suit & tie-for all games!!---SUPERSTITUS!! ho!
WHO LET THE DOG OUT ???
At least it was rainy & you didn't slip in the mud and fall face first in his driveway this time! lol
ok, whoever usually watches the Hornby Island site, there is something dead in the nest, if you get a chance can you look see and maybe identify it, I keep forgetting the hancock address, going to look and see if I can fiond it, to me it is either a TV or juvie, doesn't look good, so if you are screamish...don't bother to go!
GOOD ONE JO!---YOU ARE HOT!! ho!
CONN- still down!
Just looked, Helen....can't tell either...
will be interesting to see what happens when the Eagles come to the nest...
Sounds like they are reacting to it NOW at Hornby
I looked on the HI Hancock site, but so many differnt forums, did not see anyone discussing it...but you can get lost on all those forums...this in nature raw and uncut.
HI #1 cam is down, just #2 is up.
JO!----Your FLAMINGOS are out -- only see 2 ducks!----
Off the the zoo
Received notification that the PA Falcon site is up now. Falcon is there now
PA FALCON
Mits, when I try to enlarge, it does the whole page but not the cam! Wierd.... it almost looks too dark to be a juvie, more like maybe a crow???
EAgle at Hornby now
Missed a switch in positions our nest anyone see it ?
How about that- comment published but blue link not any good.....
Try again for PA FALCON
Our bird is moving around
Mason Update

Thanks for the link on Mason Mema Jo. How are ya?
GOOD MORNING ALL YOU EAGLE FRIENDS THAT ARE ON HERE THIS MORNING. Good to see you can get on JO. Hope all is going well for you.
NORMA Sorry about WVU last night. I was torn and cheering for both, as my sister had two boys graduate from Cuse. Your guys gave it their all. We had a tight game too. Had the radio on in the classroom and when UNC won, the kids wee all cheering and yelling when the teacher came in. Calmed them down, but she told me before I left no more radio. I said then I would have to stay out of school on those days that we played.:)
Two eagles in our nest.
Eggs in sight
Boy was that sure a quick change. Did anyone see anything? Didn't they keep us waiting last year? Something about not knowing when the first egg was laid or something?
Hornby eagle stepped on the strange thing in nest then went about his/her business
Mema is the Falcom cam live yet? Got still but not Live.
Greymare will be happy ☺
Howdy new morning People...
☺
MORNIN' INDIANA DAVE!!---We have missed you!---None of our eggs have hatched as yet---we are going blind attempting to see what is under BELLE!!---ho!---One doesn't get a chance to look at the eggs!!!
OUR EAGLES ARE VERY SECRETIVE!!

Hi Candy - Cam was down last year & we really didn't know the date it was laid.
Still 3 whole eggs in our nest.
Hi Sissy - Doing pretty well! I am trying my best to heal & get back to some kind of Norman!
Heading in to the recliner.... Tired myself out this am.......
BBL
Margy - read under the pic..... 2 min refresh

I got a little sleep anyway, and it doesn't appear that I missed the hatching ... not that anyone could see anyway.
Kind words to Norma, Mits, Mema Jo, Magpie and Eagle-eyed Sharon for all the wonderful commentary this A.M.

OH CANDY!!!---We beat the HELL outta PITT!---(that's our NC)---We have been rivals for years!---BUT we have a YOUNG team!!!---We got beat last night in the overtime!!---
Heard about this at the dentist yesterday--they have feeders outside all their windows, and his wife is a big birder...long, but worth the space.
The following alert was received from Caroline Blizzard, Director, Deep Creek Lake State Park Discovery Center. Please take a moment and read this message. The birds in our area and at our feeders may be at great risk.
The alert below came from the Three Rivers Avian Center through the
Tri-State Bird Rescue and Rehabilitation Center.
ISSUE ALERT: SOME PINE SISKINS DYING NEAR FEEDING AREAS
Alert dated February 12, 2009
It is strongly suspected that an outbreak of salmonella poisoning may
be starting to occur in some isolated feeding stations in West Virginia.
Salmonella caused many deaths of pine siskins, red polls, evening
grosbeaks and goldfinches in eastern North America during the winter
of 1997 to 1998.
What is salmonella: Salmonella is a normally occurring bacteria found in
the gut of many wild and domestic birds and usually causes no harm to
the bird or any other individual, human or otherwise. An outbreak of the
disease comes when songbirds are stressed, such as from a sudden and
prolonged cold snap (like we just had), ice storms, or from having to
compete for food at a heavily used feeder. The disease is most commonly
spread from bird to bird via feces dropped onto the feeding tray or
ground.
Why we are issuing this alert: It must be stressed that no testing has
been done as yet on the dead birds found so far to determine the cause
of death. We suspect salmonella due to the numbers and locations where
these birds were found and the lack of other presenting causes of death.
The dead or sick birds can be easily caught by predators such as cats,
transferring the disease to them and potentially to their owners.
Although there is currently no cause for alarm, being aware of the
potential and taking steps to prevent the disease in wild birds at your
feeders is a prudent course of action.
What to look for: Sick songbirds will often sit unusually quietly on
their perch, even at a feeder, fluffed, lethargic, head drooped and
wings out as if to keep their balance. They may have labored breathing
or appear to be sleeping with their head under their wing. They will
often appear indifferent to what is going on around them and are
frequently very reluctant to fly when approached.
What can be done: Keep your bird feeders and bird baths clean. (See
disinfecting instructions below.) Make sure that the feed in your bird
feeders is always clean and dry, with no mold or plants growing in it.
If you are not seeing the above mentioned types of behavior at your
feeding stations, keep feeders clean, continue feeding and enjoying the
bird show. If you are seeing this sort of trouble, dont panic, but
discontinue feeding wild birds for two weeks and thoroughly disinfect
your feeders and nearby perches by following these simple directions.
Remember to wear rubber gloves:
For perches and feeders, first scrape off and throw away in the trash
all oils, feces, etc left on surfaces by the birds as well as all seeds
and anything else in the feeder. Thoroughly wash & scrub all surfaces
(inside and out) with dish detergent or a solution of Simple Green
cleaner, rinse, then liberally apply 10% bleach solution to all surfaces
(1 part Clorox bleach to 9 parts clear water), paying special attention
to nooks and crannies. Rinse off with clear water after 15 minutes and
allow to air dry.
For the ground below feeding areas, rake up and dispose of (in the
trash!) all hulls, shells, droppings, etc, scratching up the surface of
the dirt thoroughly. Wet the soil to complete dampness (you don't need
to create a lake) with a 10% bleach solution and let it sit for 15
minutes. Rinse/wash the area with clear water. Allow it to drain & dry
completely.
What to do if you find dead pine siskins at your feeding area: First
make sure that they didn't accidentally kill themselves on a nearby
window. You may bury the bird or dispose of the body in the trash can.
If you suspect the bird may have been ill and would like to get it
tested, pick the bird up by covering it with a multi-layer piece of
newspaper to protect your hands, then place it in a sealed plastic zip
lock bag in your freezer. Thoroughly wash your hands, and call Three
Rivers Avian Center for more information: 304-466-4683. Watch your
feeders for any signs of other birds in distress
good info, Lynn
WHOA!---Check out the DECORAH nest!----That is a lovely site!!!
LYNN---Is that DEEP CREEK, MD?
Great photos, as always, Dave!!! Thanks for sharing!
We haven't heard from WANDA lately----do you suppose she on the floor at NCTC watching the blog????---ho!
CANDY!---I don't believe I would sneak in a radio at work---even if WVU was beating PITT!!----ho!!---YOU ARE TRUE BLUE!!---ho!
Has anyone seen any signs of a chick??
Belle is setting higher and 'looser' now than she has been. Is it the heat or is it something hatching??
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Have been watchin Sidney and Ok this morning. Ok could possibly hatch in the next few days. Note I said possibly. Have learned a lesson this year.
Was also watching OK hawk cam when the the hawk got up and flew away. The cam zoomed in very close on the eggs. That will be an awesome cam to watch when they hatch.
Leaving to make myself beautiful, guess it is about time to fix my hair and face. LOL
BBL
LOLLY---I GOGGLED --to find out what happens to an unhatched egg, etc--The MOST IMPORTANT thing I learned----"DON'T COUNT YOUR CHICKS BEFORE THEY HATCH"--- ho!
NORMA you are sooooo right. We will have three little ones when it is time and they are good and ready. :)
BLACK VULTURE---BWO--
Does anyone have the live NCTC cam up or is it gone for good?
Jim, I think we all hesitate to speculate!
We have some tenting happening now.
We don't have the live feed and haven't been told it is gone for good.
That is a wonderful update on Mason, Mema Jo.

so sad---
I hesitate to say what I think.
so what did you see, Sharon?
I am going to say with certainty that it is a cracked egg! I sent the pic out.
NORMA We are going to be playinghat 1:30 in just a few. BBL HO HEEEEELLLLLLSSSSS!
I brought that pic up in ACDC photo program and that is definitely a cracked egg. It let me zoom in on the pic.
Ok, has anyone looked at the pic? What do you think?
On momster mail?
Yes, I sent it out through eaglet_momsters.
I don't have it
Sharon you got mail, pics you are sending now look different to me and are small
Lynn, I just sent it to your yahoo mail.
She definitely seems interested in something in the cup.
lots of attention in the nest to the egg cup
I didn't get the pic either...
Helen, did you get the pic?
Megan, just sent it to you. I don't know why it hasn't gone through eaglet momsters yet. But I am going to say we have a baby!
Yes, Sharon got the pic:), thanks
my windows live care is demanding my attention now...bbs
OK, just got it, thanks, It sure looks like one of the eggs is really cracked- the picture was really smal though.
Good Afternoon Eagleland
Have to catch up on comments..
Is there a chick yet?
Can you open it and zoom in?
Dana, I do think we have a baby!
I saved it and zoomed, but it gets pretty blurry, but there is definitely something going on with the egg on the left of nest cup.
i probably just sent it too many times but see if ya'll get it.
OH MY OH MY have to see the mailbox.....
OK...got pics...thanx Sharon and Bev....that was the scene I saw!!!!
those little pics, will not open for me..and magnifying glass does not help
Dare we hope???? Man, oh, man....I SO think we're getting somewhere!!
something going on:)
Or maybe it's the egg on right that is cracked up and laying against the left one, but I think you are right, Sharon-
SPLIT COMING
Just called Jo and Ed said she is taking a nap.
Man, I wish we had live cam!!!!
