GOOD MORNING STEVE...HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY.
Yep thats what I saw on the cam LOL
Copied 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.

GOOD MORNING ALL
It is so comforting to open this blog and know that caring Momsters are here!
Love our Nest Picture - thanks for posting it Steve as a reminder of what we are thankful for this season!!!
Jo, the otters are on view.
I'm too late for NBG feeding.. Finished
Can't get OKLA cam up
What a sight on our live feed!
I just don't know where that 'eagle neck' came from! lol
Our eaglet is really really growing!!
Yes Norma We were under winter storm warnings all day yesterday; well actually we still are for another hour...but instead of the 4 to 8 inches of snow we got about 3 inches in like an hour and then we got the sleet and freezing rain. It is an interesting texture out there LOL, but made it over for coffee and dog treats and am getting ready for church now. Its aobut a 5 minute drive on normal roads so not too far.
Do you think NBG is live this morning or on tape??
Several times the video stopped, and when I restarted it, it repeated a few seconds of the action....
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
MORNIN' MEMA JO & MOVIN'JIM!--- I watched the NORFOLK MOM feeding her crew earlier!---she was so loving & made sure the youngest got his turn!!----
I'll check the otters out! I haven't seen them for a while.
Looks like Dad delivered a fish earlier this morn, and Mom is about to feed the BW chicks again.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Oh My! Those fur balls! So glad you told me to look - Thanks!
JIM---I would think it was live!---They have such a great cam set up!!

GLO---We have such a beautiful am here today---We had good rains yesterday & now---temp 52°--and the SUN is shining!!--Wish we could share it with you!!---DRIVE CAREFULLY!!
Jim, NBG is not looping
FINNEY WATER SITE---MT---with bits of snow & ice --- here & there---
Send that sun down over the mountain, Norma as it is still grey outside.
I was also looking at our eaglet's feet!
Some of my favorite pics of the past season are of the eaglets sitting with their 'big footsies' out in front of them!
Just scanned yesterday's blog---LOLLY sending thoughts & prayer for DAN---what pain--keep us informed---
I'll be back - I have a member of the Church stopping by to administer communion.
Take care!
OK JO!---I'll start 'blowing' our sunshine your way!!---As the old saying goes----'we must have been paying the preacher'----ho!
Several HEN TURKEYS at the PA site!!----Do you suppose GRANNYBLT slipped in last night & seeded it!

CEIL---Keeping your friend BETTY in my thoughts & prayers too!!---

Tai Shan is running all over his yard this a.m.
has found a nice spot to chomp on bamboo
CHECK the HENLOPEN DEL OSPREY'S site listed LISA'S site--- They have a 'bright green' blanket in their nest!!!!!
No changes at the PA PERGRINE FALCON nest---still setting on 3 eggs!!----for you new folks---The nest is located on a ledge at the RACHAEL CARSON BUILDING!!---cool--
Eaglet still alone...looks again like he/she laid an egg !
Good After-Mass Morning Everyone ☺
Sun has finally made it over to our side of the Allegheny Mountains Norma !
So you done good sending it along, Mema will be pleased ! ☺
Ha! Just made it to the Nest too !! ☺
I just watched the video of the newborn 'clouded leopard cubs'---They look exactly like tiny kittens--so cool!---one can see them being fed & burped!!---
ps---i know they are tiny cats---ho!
Finally got Okla up, nice fish sitting there for lunch.
Puleston has one in nest,
KY was empty
and Loch Lowes has one chirpy Osprey
Our baby very active...
and still alone
ferry at Finland
HP JUST OCCURRED AT LOCH LOWE'S
2 AT COLO
MORNIN' MARGY!---being a WV person---you might be interested----the birthplace of A. LINCOLN'S MOTHER has been established!!--NANCY HANKS LINCOLN born on MIKES RUN in Mineral Co. WV!!---One can see the mountain on RT. 50 outside of Keyser!---Often referred to 'BACK BONE MT' or SADDLE MT!!
(this has taken a few yrs)
Just checking back---Norfolk babies are all in front of adults' belly...cute!
FEEDING AT OKLA
Good morning, Momsters and Dadsters. Been lurking.
Margy, blow the sunshine over North Mt.---stillno sun here!
Hope that Dan, Betty and Deb's fellow-birder are all doing well this am.
Getting myself ready for an afternoon outing...taking grandgirls to see Jack Hanna at The Maryland Theatre in Hagerstown. Papers read, corn cakes for breakfast (YUM), kitchen cleaned up, trash ready to go out to roadside...now just need Margy's fairy to work on me!!!
Enjoyed your pics, Wanda....that's the same thing that happened Fri. Belle moved egg up to outer edge...but it must have rolled back into egg cup!
I have watched BELLE & the EGG!!--Have seen her more that once poke the egg & stare at it, etc---then she gently pushes it back under with the HUGE CHICK that's in her nest!!
FEEDING AT COLO - 2 CHICKS
MORNIN' NATURENUT & HEDGIE!!---WOW!---I watch JACK HANNA---I would like to see that show too!--ENJOY!!----
Can see 2 CO chicks! Looks like one old or new egg too. I don't remember how many she laid.
I've noticed Hidey/Miracle showing off those footsies, too! And that long neck is getting lots of exercise!!! He/she is such a cutie!
Thanks--thanks HELEN!----I haven't see TAI for ever & ever!!----I had quit trying!---Still #1 with me!!
Still have his pic on the fridge!!
NBG lunchtime & can see all 3 chicks. Hope they can eat up some of that fish to get rid of the flies!
Norma, I said yesterday that I wished I was there to go to that seminar with you! Have always been taught that Nancy Hanks was born in that Saddle Mt. area, but cool that they have pinpointed it further.
HEDGIE---I have stated a few times that I think she thinks she is a GIRAFFE!!----she is a stretcher---ho!
NBG baby poop shoot--towards cam! Tee Hee ☺
OH HEDGIE!---I -- too have always been interested in NANCY HANKS LINCOLN---The MIN. CO. Historical society & many other folks living outside WV have been working on this for yrs & yrs.----They have a cabin there--an exact replica of the orig.---Interesting program yesterday!!!---
Was on long-distance call which is why my last messages were all in caps !
Loretta three eggs at Colorado, the second one hatched very early Saturday, so maybe the third one might still hatch
Norma : I have been following your reports of Abe's mother.....and I have seen Saddle Mountain, will think of it in another way now !
Hi Hedgie : Have a good time !
NATURENUT---JACK HANNA may have a PENQUIN with him!!---I saw he had one once!!!---forget what kind---the bird walked around on the stage! CUTE!!
I have to tell you about Loch Lowe's
noticed two birds there earlier, then while on the phone, there was some Major HP going on, then the male flew off, the cam operators panned the camera to follow his flight, then have been doing close-ups and other things. Great site with sound! so here it is again:
Loch Lowe's Osprey Scotland Nest
The Puleston site, in NY, although beautiful, totally freezes up my camera....so does Henlopen, maybe it is a Quik Time thing...
So on and off on those for me..
Time to pack it up and see if I can get some Grandson time this afternoon.
Have a Beautiful Sunday, all...
"See You Later "
xoxox ☺ ♥
WHOA!--WHOA!---I must have sent JO all of our sunshine!!---It is CLOUDY here now!!--ho!---but I guess that's a good thing!!--SHARING---
PS And watch those hummingbirds in CA today! They are ready and rarin' to go !
Thanks for all the good chatter, gang. But if I don't sign off, I will get caught NOT being ready when the kids get here at 1....so see you much later this evening--of course, dinner out after the show! I'm such a good grandma!!!
Have a good day, y'all!
WOW! MARGY---What a treat!!---wish I could spend he day with my grandsons too!!!
Wow see those two birds our nest ?
I mean THREE !!
Check NORFOLK!!!--- MOM is on nest & there is a gap in front of her-- the little rebels---are peeking out!!---Have never seen that before!!---Is that what you were seeing NATURENUT???----
I only have the still feed up because I was donating my bandwidth so now it apears only one, I mean TWO !
Ha Ha got to get in the habit of including Hidey Miracle in the head count!
Grandson plans just changed but I think he is coming over here in about two hours...I can handle that !
Now, a prayer that work does not call me for anything today, PLEASE.... xo
Okay - I must go to see Norfolk after all this coaxing, then on to some chores ! Before I get Computer Butt !! xoxox
EAGLE has landed in our nest!!---Can see egg in nest---
Norma, yes! Mom NBG was sitting, but bobbleheads were in front of her. After they got fed, she had to do a lot of side to side wiggles to get them under her. Could still see one in front!
Dad at OK flew in w/big stick while Mom was feeding baby. Thought he was gonna whack it, but he managed to put over them to edge of nest. Getting kinda long time for other 2 eggs.
I HAVE A NEW BABY DIAMOND DOVE!! I sent pics in an email to the Momsters group, and on Facebook.
Yay!
Hope all is well, I am pleaseed to see things are going well at our nest...
Congrats, Bird Girl!! Guess that makes you a dove grandmommy! ☺
Lynn & Norma have heen talking about Jack Hanna. I should go to Hagerstown!
The Fed. Pax Reasearch Ctr. Museum in Laurel, MD is having the last day of Wildlife Art Show today 11-4PM. We,in our bi-county Park system did their show for many years as a fundraiser for their center. I should go as it's beautiful & I will know many people there, but I know I would have to buy something I don't need!
NATURENUT!---Oh yeah!---You should have gone!---I think it would be difficult NOT TO BUY!!---I do that too!!----Always seems to be the best part of the FUN!! ho!
Thanks BIRD GIRL for sharing info about your DIAMOND DOVE with us!---I have never seen one before----I always get a big smile when I see your avatar---I still have the same pic!!----
BIRD GIRL---Just GOGGLED your DIAMOND DOVE!----AWESOME!---Are you going to raise them or did you just want one!!----beautiful--beautiful!!
Here's a Cool Thing coming up in May
Audubon 5K run/walk on May 2, entitled "This Race is for the Birds" -
Guess Where it will be:
NCTC !!!!
Details in Today's Martinsburg Journal, section E, page 4.
Proceeds go to support the local Audubon Society's educational programs for children. The article mentions the Eagles, and how the walk route will allow protection of the Active nest, but that Eagles will probably be seen!
I can post some websites on here later ...would that not be Way Cool? I think I would be in the Walk division ☺
Try this:
www.journal-news.net
then when that opens up, go to the "Search the Web" spot at top right of page and type in: Audubon 5K run/walk and hit go
that might work if you want to read it....
Wow, big bird our nest, with little bird ☺
..I did not the Diamond Dove email in the Eaglet group...yet....
but I will find the picture, Bird Girl ! ☺
I was going to tell you that I looked closely at my Hummingbird feeder yesterday, and I see there are copious quantities of gnats floating there in.
That invariably means that the feeder is being used by a mother with chicks ... probably in the Fica tree opposite my balcony-patio.
I'm only guessing, but I think the Ruby Throated Hummer in your areas probably do the same. Have you noticed the little bugs in your feeders this time of year??
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Well, I didn't find it yet...
will try again later.
back to chores...
TTFN xo
I don't hang feeders here in town...
not even for other birds because of the squirrels and I had horrible two year in-ceiling residency of a squirrel and can't ever go through that again !
It's getting dark and suddenly rainy here now
Nest night get it soon too...
OKLA eaglet getting fed
Really good view
2 eggs to go
Yes, Mema - a lovely view, but I fear that chick is going to be an only child like Our little tyke is.....
I think the weather is headed for NCTC....
I had a brief period of sunshine
Now back to the grey skies!
...wonder if we will have sound to hear our little baby's sweet chirpings.....
I'm stepping away for a few minutes...
xo
I am also stepping away -
enjoy your afternoon....

Just returned from church and called my sister. BIL doing better. He is being moved to a reular room. Surgery will be tomorrow after lunch. We are leaving in the monning for Athens,TX. Dr told them this morning that he was not sure he was going to make it early yesterday. The infection had gotten into his blood. Scary!

Whoo Boy - wait until Jo reads
FOUR EGGS !

PS God just answered a quick prayer while I was plunging the neighbor lady's toilet !
I was about out of back and plunging power...
Thank you, Lord !!
AWWWL the babies are getting fed at NBG by Dad. He came in, Mom flew away & he is feeding. Good Boy, get rid of the fish flies!
Thanks for the pic, Mits of the 4 eggs. There will probably be more to come.
Raining with Thunder here in the valley. I think it is a quick shower.. skies are still bright.
Watching the adult eagle on the CO nest.
I can spot one eaglet under his/her but adult eagle is only half ways into the cam pic. Can't see much else.
Signing off for awhile - Need to think of dinner menu..... Don't have a clue!
BBL
Checking the nest - must be dinner time I see Hidey/Miracle and the egg and adult is up on the edge at 2:00 position
Our eaglet is trying out those wings.
Then down he/she goes into the egg well
All is ok
BBL

Both our eagles in nest eating
Can't see Hidey - Blocked by adult
Now I can see eaglet's head
Not sure if Lib is feeding him/her
Just finished dinner here - going in to put the ole' leg up.
Hope Paula's moving experience is finished!
BWO UPDATE......
Nest Update
03/29/09:
On Saturday, we had two ospreys on the platform together and they brought in some sticks, but then we haven't seen much action since.
Photographer Bob Quinn did report seeing an osprey chase an eagle from the Osprey Cam nest.
Hi everyone. I am home after another long day. Highlights were a HERONRY and three common loons, one Swainson's Hawk, I hope! I have been studying hawks and don't think it is a Krider's Red-tail.
Two eaglets in CO and one egg. I can't see if it has any pip holes on it. First eaglet seen Friday AM, second eaglet hatched Friday afternoon.
Bob should be coming with pictures sometime soon since it sounds like he was at BW recently.
Beautiful day here! Had a great afternoon tending flower beds, emptying the greenhouse, etc.
Now I am ready to put my feet up and watch some TV.
Margy, you are a great neighbor...plunging the toilet!
Good Sunday evening. Sure had a fun day! Jack Hanna's show was good....he had creatures from both the Columbus Zoo and The Maryland Zoo---nice collaborative effort. There was an absolutely beautiful bird whose name eludes me...has a neat crest of feahters (Mohawk-style)--it flew from the back of the theatre onto the stage. A flamingo, red-tailed hawk, red-shouldered hawk, a cougar cub, a python, a porcupine and an African porc with a strange name--big and beautiful. Also a young hyena, the snake-head turtle that he had on Letterman a few weeks ago, along w/ a big turtle that has a worm-like appendage on his tongue that he uses to lure fish into his mouth; and I'm forgetting what else!! Videos, and a long autograph session which made the show start late, and which he resumeed after the show!
Oh, a pink/cream colored armadillo from South America--smaller than I remember the Florida ones being--and a baby South American alligator.
Cold Case on....bbl.
Evening, all.
Hope everyone is well, not caught up yet...finally home from moving DS & DIL into newly rented house...very nice 3 BR rancher in the country...apple orchards all around.
Paula, does that mean that you will bring apple pies on our next nest visit?
Have to send DIL on a midnight run into the orchard next door :)
It will be really pretty when they are in bloom
Maybe at Open House, Wanda...
Sounds like a great new home for your son and daughter-in=law, Paula - whereabouts is it?
and Hedgie !
What a show!
Deb
Can't wait to see your pictures, esp of the Swainson's Hawk---want to see if it resembles what was in Lynn's trees last week...
"Common Loon" - isn't that an understatement of a name for such a spectacular bird !
Good Sunday Evening all, I am glowing from some quality time with my grandson.
I have managed to set the date and time on my new camera and take a few pictures...what fun !
xo
So, is anyone interested in the Audubon 5K Run/Walk on May 2 at NCTC ?? ( I would be in the "Walk" division, for sure...)
I think I am going to put in for the day off and give it a try, so long as it does not conflict with any field trip dates to Loretta's place...
I see only ONE hummingbird in the nest....
will have to check their blog posts and see what's going on...
Hedgie - Jack Hanna show, how cool!!
Wanda - How is GeeGee?
Margy - they are in Cashtown now, west of Gettysburg. I don't know if I will be here on May 2...if I am, I might be able to do that walk. Do you have a start time?
Lolly - Did you make that dinner? Sounds delish!
Thoughts and prayers for Deb & Ceils friends and Lolly's BIL. Safe travels tomorrow, Lolly.
Jo - glad the leg is feeling better.
Feeding at Two Harbors
Paula, GeeGee seems to be progressing really well. You really can't tell she had a stroke, except when she talks. Her speech is OK, but she forgets what she was talking about, often. Don't know any results of her scans. Thanks for asking....Now, how about those pies?
It took me seven minutes to post about Two Harbors! Those IWS sites clobber my computer !
Paula - I think it starts at 9 am - early registration for $18 by Apr 25 - free tshirt, on the day of, is $20 and free tshirt while supplies last...
Cashtown, great name ! ☺
I'll make copies of the article that was in today's Journal so if anyone is interested I can just mail you a copy or you can to:
www.journal-news.net then at the very top on the right you can type in Audubon 5K Run/Walk and hit Go for a search
Hey, hey, Paula! Glad you made it home safely. Bet you are one tired momster. How far a drive is it from Emmittsburg to Cashtown? Will you get to see them very often now?
Ahh, Open House. What a spectacular time we have that day. Only 6 and a half months to go:):)
Good to hear about GeeGee, Wanda.... - the good things that is, sorry about the memory lapse during conversation...
soon maybe a monarch chrysalis will brighten up her days !
Wanda - No apples yet! No pies yet!
Lynn, sounds like you had a really special day!
The local Audubon Society sponsors a lot of bird walks, in all the surrounding WV counties and sometimes elsewhere...but due to my work schedule I have never been able to commit to one yet....
I have a niece and a budding bird-watching great-nephew near Annapolis and I want to get to Sandy Point State Park ! Soon !
The feeding at Two Harbors was pretty neat, two little grey birdies....I just couldn't post a post ! :(
Kids are about 20 minutes northwest now instead of northeast!
Thanks, Margy, I'll have to check that and my schedule...
Wanda - glad GG is feeling good.
The Night Bandit is at work, stealing away the time, I have to work in the morning, and I am yacking too much anyway..
so Good Night, Fare Well, Eagle Pals
Peace, Love and Prayers, for wellness and comfort, joy and serenity... xoxo
Regulars MIA today: Bluefield girls, Bedford gal, Pink Kitty lady, Alabama guy---hope all are well, and just out and about having fun!
Oh, and I guess the coolest news was big eagle feetsies in the nest!
Night, Margy. Here's hoping you rest well and have a good shift tomorrow.
Just read Paula's forwarded article about Decorah...very informative.
Well, I am going to say goodnight, dear friends. Prayers and peace.
I am saying good night, also. I didn't get to my pictures, I was falling asleep at the computer so I moved to the couch, more comfortable to nap. :(
Deb, get up off the couch and go to bed!:)
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
I hope everyone has a great week.
*** GOOD NIGHT ***
*** EVERYBODY ***
C(°ٿ°)D

* Good Morning Eagle ♀ and ♂'s *
Sure is early...
I'm watching TWO Osprey at Loch of the Lowe's - male has been in and out, just returned with some ball of fluff, and the nest is taking shape there.
Cam operators there like to pan the camera around from time to time...
Hope everyone has a good day today...
Megan... been watching for your "Sweet Peas" these last few days looking for you..hope your planting season is going well.
xo
Good morning everyone!!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
I cringe, everytime I see Margy on here sooo early in the morning, knowing that she is getting ready to go to work. And then, there was Sissy, a very early bird.
I'm wondering if Deb ever got up off the couch and wennt to bed:)
No action in the nest right now, just a watchful, Lib looking all around.
My weekend guest has gone home, so I will have the 'puter back today.
Margy said she saw a pair at L of the L, so I guess that means that Angus finally showed up;)
Good morning Wanda!! Been a busy weekend, didn't have time to even look at the blog!
We took our boat to the lake yesterday and, of course, it wouldn't start when we put it in the water. Had to take it back out of the water and take it to a repair shop. They said it was probably just a clogged fuel line, easy fix (let us pray!!).
But anyway, we had a good day. Tom goes back to day shift today and I am tickled to death. No more second shift!!
Feeding going on at BWE right now!
