Oh Joy - Thanks Steve! I will go round up the "others" but I made the last two dozen comments so I am not sure where everyone is !
Take Care, Enjoy the rest of your Week-end.
xoxoxo Magpie xoxoxo
I'm with you gal!
Thanks Steve! Hope you're having a lazy rainy weekend - Good time for those inside projects!
Hello there! Thanks, Steve.
Margy, just the two of us again...still!!
Just saw something big fly in to the top of a big pine....too dense plus dim and foggy...to tell what it was...maybe it's one of my mystery birds.
Belle was just well-tented over our little one, but now up, and said little one quite visible.
There's Mema Jo!!!! How are you this damp, sober day??
I am a bit soggy! lol
Really doing well, Lynn
Thanks for asking and for the ecard.
Margy THANKS for my card & yes I sure do love Sunflowers!
Hi Ladies, Dustin is eating his supper, so I sneaked in here and grabbed the controls:) He usually askes for Chili Dogs with chees for his supper, along with a BIG salad for supper when he visits...this time, he asked for a Cornish Hen. Quite a difference. His palate is getting refined:) He will probably want pizza for breakfast. He is growing so tall ( 6'3") but still very thin (143lbs)
I have a full tummy, and just like a fat pig, think I will take a little nap!
Hi, Jo...take good care of that leg, so the doctor will let you go on a field trip:)!
NO NO, Lynn. Too late for a nap. You wont sleep tonight! I wouldn't be able to sleep til 3am if I napped now.
Hi, Wanda....glad you got a chance to check in! I love Cormish Hens...haven't fix any in quite a while. had baked chicken breast for my din-din. It hit the spot.
I sure am wondering what's going on w/ Sissy and Sharon....sure thought we'd have Mattie's performance on video by now!
BBL.
Hi all! Was going to babysit last night, but they decided not to go out so we just had a great evening together. Had a brunch to go to this morning.
My sister called this morning, They are in their RV at a rally. Anyway, my bother in law got VERY sick and he is in the hospital. He has pancreatitis. A gallstone blocked the duct. Anyway, he is stabilized now, and going to do surgery to remove his gall bladder Monday. So I'll be here tomorrow, but heading out to be with her Monday. The are about 2 1/2 hours away. Any and all prayers are appreciated. Dan has had lots of Colon problems, so they have to be very careful with him. Sound like he is getting good care.
I am home after a long day. I got all caught up on e-mails and the blog, I was just going to post and found out about the new thread!
Guess you talked me out of it,Wanda! Another Nora Roberts movie on tonight and sure don't want to miss it. Maybe I'll go take my bath after the news, and then settle in to watch the movie.
Oh, BTW....GO LADY TERPS! They won their game...barely!
Oh, Lynn, glad you mentioned the movie. I will like that. Thanks!
Glad you read the blog to the end!
We're late getting the new thread but it is very much appreciated!
Lolly Lots of prayers for Monday's surgery for bil.
Wanda Gonna go even if I have to crawl!
Come on Deb...let's see what you captured.
Gene said he would carry you if necessary!:)
When have you scheduled your field trip? I need to know just when to be jealous!
The Northern Light movie of hers last week was good. Hope this one has as good of a plot. Thanks for the reminder!
I am just not a TV junkie so I really like it when you all say what you are going to be watching.
Lolly is the gallstone causing the pancreatitis?
Oh, Lolly, that is a shame about Dan. It's always worse when you're away from home to have something bad happen, too. Pancreatitis can be so nasty...my SIL has had it three times, but always as a complication of his septic shock episodes. Prayers definitely being said. Will you go alone or will Jack be with you?
Lolly Did you ever give us a report on you DR visit about your weight loss? I may have just missed reading it since I haven't been on too much lately.
I enjoyed Northern Lights, too. Looking forward to tonight's feature. I bought GeeGee some Nora Roberts books last year and she said that woman has a dirty mind!;) But she continued to read all of them. Haven't bought her anymor since. She hasn't read anything since she had her stroke. I think she can't concentrate well enough to read. She is getting better.
Oh this this Magpie is so excited to see Life on the Blog !
Sorry about the illness, Lolly -
sudden, painful, and risky! Prayers for the family, and for the Health Care Providers....
Cornish Hens....aaaah, what a treat.
Maybe Dustin's little hands will be kind of messy for awhile and you can play, Wanda...
I am wrapping some Christmas presents! Last year's Christmas presents....this is shameful !
Good Saturday Evening Wishes for everyone....
xoxo ☺ ♥
I took a lot of pictures, but not that many different birds, but I added four new birds to my list, a Willet, a Baird's Sandpiper, a Dunlin and a Fox Sparrow.
Deb - - a long happy bird-watching smorgasborg kind of day for you I hope - as do the rest of your fans...☺
Wanda, I was going to remind Gene that he made that statement!!!!
Did you get the email that Helen sent out about the BBQ? Did you see the RV in it? SWEET!!!
Hey, Deb, hope you had a productive outing!
Might need to take Gene up on that BUT
I really am putting full weight on the Leg with the Rod! Amazing what they can do nowadays to repair our broken bodies!
Lolly, date of field trip not set yet.....i think Wanda is trying to line up schedules of those who work!
The gallstone blocked the duct and the pancreas "juices" backed up!
Dr. appt. went well. My cholesterol dropped like a rock. Diet works! It was not over 200 but it is now 136. :) X Rayed my knew, which is not hurting, but is swollen. Shows nothing. If swelling does not go down, I will get a steroid shot.
Really do appreciated prayer. Sharon was so upset when she called this morning. I wanted to rush over there now, but she talked me into waiting. Jack will go. :) We are buddies!
anyone out there like Kathy Mattea, from our Cross Lanes WV?
Got a great CD for 5-bucks last night -
♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ☺ ☺
I do hope we get to hear Mattie sing. Those Bluefield Beauties are going to make us wait til Monday:(
NOT knew.....knee!!
Looks as thought the rain has stopped in OKLA - not sure what is in the nest with adult eagle at 6:00 position.
OH! Decorah is getting snow..... I hope it is only a light dusting
Eighteen Wheels and A Dozen Roses....
Kathy Mattea
....☺
My Mom gave me the day off and I got down and dirty with this house...now I need a bath. BBL
Lolly, so sorry to hear of your BIL's problems. I will add him to the prayer list.
A lady that is part of the Yankton bird group had a lung transplant on Wed night. On Thursday she took her first breath not hooked up to oxygen in years. Isn't it amazing what can be done now?? I met her twice, but with her health, she was pretty well confined to home. It sounds like her prognosis is excellent.
I do like that song, Margy:)
Thanks Deb! I guess nothing note worthy has happened at any of the cams? OK still at one? Have not been on at all.
CO snow is gone already. I see two little ones, looking for egg.
Darn, parent is going to sit on them, I think.
What is in the OK nest?
I'm not sure, Lolly...
I hear an eagle on the Hancock cam
One adult is on the nest - maybe a time for a switch......
Looks like our eagle is ready for sleep
Head tucked under wing
Your hamster was starving, Deb!
I may have overfed him... lol
Must go put leg up for a while...
BBL
Guess what! I am going to eat a meal tonight with my hubby! Real food! It has been two months, I have reached a certain point, plan to loose more, but tonight we are eating well. In moderation, of course! And, I amy going to have some wine!
That hamster is always eating!!!! Talk about overfed pets!@LOL
I am off to prepare dinner. :)
JO......so glad you are doing so well!
Deb
Just looked up all the birds you mentioned on my Thayer's Guide... and listened to them too!
They are all exquisite..that Dunlin is a noisy little bird!
Did you hear their song?
The Fox Sparrow...such a funny little bouncy bird !
Sounds great !
xo
We have the Fox sparrows here, but they are not easy to find!
I have seen exactly one in my life...
Out the door for awhile, will try to deliver these Christmas Presents !
xo
WOW OKLA
Just got a clear view of egg and chick
Chick is active
Then I saw a fly in!
Both eagles in nest now
Evening, all!
Back at home w/ a 20 ft truck full of boxes, ready to head to DS & DIL house in the early morn...
Gonna watch 'The Notebook' and catch up on the blog....
The Notebook is on Oxygen...
Will your muscles be ready for all that unloading in the morning or do you just need to drive the 20 footer! Glad your day went well - Moms are great helpers!
My oldest is in Philly doing the same thing you are doing - Helping her daughter move!!!
What channel Paula
Lots of good movies on tonight....
Hope everyone is well....
I think that the object in the OKLA nest is part of the nest - hard plastic - saw the adult eagle perched on it when he landed for the switch..... Black duck tape!
Dish channel 127 is Oxygen
Gonna take plenty of Tylenol before I hit the hay tonight, and a hot shower in the morning....and yes, gonna help move the boxes in as well!
Off to the TV
BBL
looks like feeding at the nest
The 2nd Chick at the TH nest hatched today!!! Just this evening!! Spotted just 1 1/2 hours ago.
Whoo Hoo!!
Lolly - prayers for BIL. What is your special meal tonight?
2 chicks in view at TH - eating time!
Redoubt blew three times today, 1:20 AM, 1:40 Pm and 3:29 PM. The last one was the biggest with ash at 35,000 feet.
Wow, Deb.
Had to hit the tylenol already!
Gotta hit the hay shortly...I'm beat. Only read this thread...the rest will have to wait.
If I don't check back in, catch ya'll tomorrow night.
this Nora Robert's movie is weird.
I like her books, but I am too tired for a movie.
I put some pictures from today up.
Yes, it is weird! I'm falling asleep..not holding my interest.
grat pics, Deb
think Nora was smoking the wacky weed when she wrote this one, can't imagine how hard this would be to follow in a book, it is confusing me just watching it.
Ok, I have to go and see which one it is, you have peaked my curiosity!
I remember that one, it was weird.
I am really tired, so I am off to bed. Night, all.
Okay, that movie was just plain stupid!! Wish I hadn't wasted my time. I knew there was a reason I had stopped reading her books....too wierd!
Hope your poor bones feel better in the morning, Paula.
Cool pics, Deb. Never heard of some of them! Hard to believe that turtles would be out already!!
Good Night Late Nighters...
I'm watching something on WETA with Gary Sinise, not sure what it's called.
Missed that Bluegrass, Hedgie ..but delivered those Christmas presents! All things in good time...
Hope all get a restful sleep.
Peace, Love and Prayers
but I am not exactly going to bed yet.... ☺
yeah, that was a complete waste of 2 hours, glad it was not any longer, it made no sense to me. Good night everyone.
It's no wonder GeeGee stopped reading Nora Roberts. Lynn, I always feel as if I have wasted my time when a movie is weird and ends weird...you keep watching, in hopes that it will get better, but it never does:(
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Margy, you are watching "Of Mice and Men"--thinks it's from a Steinbeck book. Love Gary Sinise!
Goodnight all my good fowl friends. See you in the morning light! Prayers for all in need, and even those who aren't!
Hope you enjoyed your day off, Margy. Work tomorrow?
I forgot to look at Deb's photos...they will be better viewed in the morning.
Nite.
One last little thing....sorry you didn't go, Margy...but i'm sure the Santa recipients were glad to see you!!
Thanks Hedgie.... figure I am hooked by now...what am I going to when I start crying, 'cause I can tell it's gonna happen...
Yes, Wanda - -
Off tomorrow, so far...
☺
..what am I going to DO that is....
Tthanks, Hedgie, your words are kind....
Just here to say
Good Night All!
Praying for all our needs - especially Lolly's BIL and his wife & family.
Take care all!
((((hugs)))) ♥
Well, I guess everyone has gone to bed. Yes, that was NOT one of Nora's best. Watched the movie, book, of course was a little better, but it was not one her best, for sure!
That was nice...got on and there was Jo's last message. Made me feel good. I know your prayers work. Strong group here.
Paula, you asked about our dinner. Well we had......
Involtini dI vitella
veal scallopini rolled around mozzarella, prosciutto, parsley and parmigiana. Braised in olive oil and cooked in white wine. With it pesto pasta and steamed asparagus. Yummy!!! And, of course, a bottle of red wine,. mmmmmm
Talked with my sister, she has gone to her RV for the night. Will know more tomorrow.
Nite all.....sweet dreams! Thank you for your friendship and prayers. You are the greatest!
Movie's over (Of Mice and Men), that was a tough one.
So, now it's time for sleep.
Finney's Water nest is snow covered and the site is shrouded in fog.
God Bless Us, Every One
xo
...but Belle is awake....
It's late, and I just got up to shut things down.
Belle is resting well, but her head is not tucked and she's tenting.
Looked up weather and it says that heavy fog and/or rain are very certain. And I think I can make out heavy fog in the background.
But whether it's super wet fog or rain, she's having to spread the wings.
Jim
I guess you saw that there appears to be a pair of O's at BWO, and they've started to bring materials for their nest.
There have not been repeats of pairs from year to year since I've been watching (4 years now??); but I think I've seen that female before ... can't see the male's face in Lisa's pics.
If it is last year's pair, I sure hope they build that nest better and keep the egg bowl dryer this year.
Jim
* GOOD NIGHt/GOOD MORN *
* TO YOU ON THIS SUNDAY *
JIM
* GOOD MORNING *
I'm up again.
I don't know if there will be confilict, but there is an adult Bald Eagle perched on the BWO box right now.
Belle looks like she is eagerly grabbing some more sleep before the sun comes up.
I hope you all have a great Sunday today.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Belle has arisen and is off the nest ... out of sight. The unfed chick (she doesn't seem to want to feed the chick that older fish under the straw) is turning her head in every direction checking out the world.
AND! She actually stood up and carefully extended her wings into a perfect soaring form and held the position for several seconds.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
An adult is back and in the feeding position, but it looks like no food yet.
Miracle is stretching her neck and stretches her wings again.
They kind of hold a feeding position ... almost touching beaks ... for quite awhile, but I don't see any food yet.
It's light but still foggy, so maybe the other adult is having troubles getting a fish this morning.
It looks like the adult found a little food to give to Miracle now. Now looking around for more...
There must be 25 lbs. of fish under that straw, Liberty or Belle.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
No rain or fog here and it is 48° Very damp and dreary.
I watched Belle feeding Hidey or just the tail end of a feeding. She then reached over to the egg and it appeared that she rolled it out of the nest. She then got a BIG mouthful of fluff and covered it. Interesting! (I think that is what took place...cam stalled a bit) I posted the photos on Wild and Wonderful.
Female osprey, BWO.
Good Morning -
Everyone
Two Osprey at Loch Lowes! this is great news
Loch Lowe's
Hi Deb !
See that woman at BWO -
That is Great News also !
Osprey is gone already. Morning, Wanda.
Mary called and she has never seen a Dunlin, so I am off to help her find one. BBL
Whoa - weird close up at Loch Lowe's of talons !
Cam is scanning around, showing the water etc...
Wanda, nice pictures. I was feeding the dogs so I missed it. Morning, Margy.
and one left...love the chirping sound of that Osprey
Osprey back.
I give up, osprey gone!
I've never seen one either Deb....can I go ? ☺
Have a great time! Such beautiful news about the lady from the Yankton group - - hope her recovery continues...so she can go look for Dunlins one day also !
Misty, moisty Happy Sunday to Everyone!
Finally got back on a 'puter after a few days. Just read this thread. Gotta check cams.
Lolly, prayers for your BIL. Gallbladders can be yucky, but this one really did a number on him. Be Gone!!...
Great pics, Deb. They've seen most of your species of waterfowl at Park, but I haven't. Happy dunlin hunting!
Deb :
yesterday afternoon, at BWO, it was one, then two, then one, then two - ad infinitum!
Loretta: I have missed you! Glad you're back.
I'm doing some quick cam-checking but it's time to get ready for church....so the rest shall have to wait.
Best wishes for a Great Sunday, Everyone ! xoxo
Morning,
Wanda, Magpie, Deb. I see the Red River has crested below the extreme predicted, and the area in ND and MN may have dodged a bullet.
Thank God!
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Our cute little baby is peeking out from underneath it's parent - so cute !
Hi JIm
Wondered if you were still with us...guess you will be taking some kind of nap later ! ☺
TTFN xoxoxox
It's still dark here and in the mid 50's, but it should be beautiful and sunny later. The Weather channel says it will be 68° now, but that could change in a heartbeat.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Our birds are on the Move at NCTC -
really, now TTFN xoxox
so hard to leave this !
Yeah, it will be 'Panda Naps' for me later, as is usual when you can't stay asleep and have to get up in the night...
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Feeding our nest..
NEW THREAD COME ON OVER*******************************
NEW THREAD COME ON OVER*******************************
Good morning everyone. Gpt ;pts of ice and snow here today, but at least I don't have 6 to 8 inches (the original forecast)to get out of my driveway before church. Slow going driving and walking but it is doable.
Hope you all have a Blessed sabbath day. Looks like our little one was having breakfast when I pulled up the live cam breifly to take a look.
Oh yes, Deb, best wishes to your bird club friend. Amazing help it sounds like she's getting!
Gonna check more cams--gotta wait for sun up for some. I saw that BWO has had a pair adding sticks to platform.
New platform I can see pretty well at Park has had a new osprey claiming it all week.
