Thanks Steve for the new thread.

Mits said...

EAGLE JUMPED UP

Mits said...

back down...

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning again friends. I keep losing my internet connection here at Mrs. Riffe's and I think the cordless phone is interfering with the wireless connection. It is cable, so the phone shouldn't interfere with it. Maybe they are on the same frequency or something. I changed the phone frequency (or I think I did). Maybe that will help. Hard to work without internet.

Okay, now I am confused. I never knew there were two Finland sites. I always watch the one that has the sea eagles in it over the water. Is that not the same one ya'll watch Mits? Send me the link, would ya?

Mits said...

on its way, Bev.

Mits said...

eaglets on view BWE

Lolly said...

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Sissy/Beverly
Happy Birthday to you......
And many more!!

Hope you have a fantastic day today through Sunday! and the rest of the year too! Ho!

Mits said...

finally got OK up

Mits said...

mostly cloudy and 50° at OK

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Thanks Mits. That is beautiful. I don't think I have ever seen it before. The one over the water is Finney, right?

deb said...

Happy Birthday, Sissy!

Mits said...

no this one over the land is where Finney was born.....the one over the water is just plain Finland osprey nest...

Lolly said...

Good morning all! Time for a quick good morning, read the paper, and then clean and pack!

Pythons are multiplying in Florida and spreading across the south, that is why I am MOVING! I am thinking possibly a concrete wall around my property. Maybe that would work.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Eagleland Morning Deb and Lolly.

Lisa put the Gallery pictures up on the BWE site...great pics!

wvgal_dana said...

Sorry Lolly that won't keep them out!!! :( They also like to hand from trees. :(

deb said...

We just have small snakes here, Lolly. Well, I guess some of them can get pretty big, Rattle snakes and Bull snakes. Rattle snakes are only along the Missouri River and in western SD, though.

wvgal_dana said...

What is up with these EAGLES and their CHICKS hatching out:

Oklahoma
1st - laid Feb 6th today is 41 days

2nd - laid Feb 9th today is 38 days

3rd - laid Feb 14th today is only 33 days (some say laid on 13th if so then today is only 32 days)

wvgal_dana said...

Catrans 1st egg hatched at 39 days

Lolly said...

Oh, lovely, Dana. Now I will have nightmares of them hanging from my trees! Wildlife is attracted to our property because of the pond and stream. This is all I need.

Okay....I am packing for sure!

wvgal_dana said...

WOW pull up Caltrans nest look at that web and the car lights!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Both eagles in nest at Caltrans

Lolly said...

Oh, we have lots of rattle snakes, though I have never seen one. Did hear one in Colorado once when hiking. Laurel and I both heard it and got out of there fast.

Saw a big snake in the wood pile last year, but it was a harmless one. And, I can handle big snakes, just not as big as pythons. They might eat my cat!

wvgal_dana said...

Fly in at our nest both eagles there.

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, what is that yummy breakfast?

wvgal_dana said...

I wish they would now zoom in at Caltrans == one eagle left other off eggs and chick...I want to see!!!

hedgie said...

Breakfast delivery...not sure what but looks mammalian!

deb said...

Dana, Caltrans has a hatch, hopefully it was the first egg.

deb said...

Never mind, I read your comment wrong!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Eagle Morning Lynn---does you drivers license expire on your birthday like mine does?

Yes thank you Deb....that is why I want them to zoom in. It is nice seeing fly ins. But I want to see the chick. So I wish they would keep the cam closer on the nest.

wvgal_dana said...

Sorry Deb I didn't even say Good Eagle Morning....yeah Deb Good Eagleland Morning to you ( :

hedgie said...

Nope, wall won't help, Lolly...they'll just crawl right over it!!

Mits said...

I posted this yesterday but here it goes again:)

The eagle camera does not have zoom capabilities. It will be difficult to see the eaglets once they hatch, until they are larger. You will notice different behavior on the part of the adults that will indicate that an egg has hatched.

• The video viewing screen cannot be enlarged.

• Daylight hours for viewing are variable and based on U.S. Naval Observatory official sunrise/sunset for Redding, CA

wvgal_dana said...

Good Eagle Morning Paula I still like that avatar.

wvgal_dana said...

I know we can't Mits. I thought they could there zoom in. Guess I'm remembering wrong but I thought they zoom in before. Guess not.

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - PH nest can zoom in...but they actually have to hike out to the nest to do it...

Lolly said...

Gotta go! Lynn, you are no help eaither. LOL Surely they will not become common in my lifetime. That's my story and I am sticking with it!!!!!!

Have a great Eagle kind of day...lots of groceries and blue skies!

wvgal_dana said...

That's probably a good hike too Paula.

Mits I did read your information on Caltrans yesterday. Truly I did think that mean't that WE couldn't zoom in. Not think that they couldn't zoom in. Sorry me bad.

Mits I think I remember you saying something about "a glaze for your corn beef"? Is that right?

Mits said...

Caltran was just a fixed cam for the sake of the animal rights people, they did not want the construction so close to eagles so they had them put a cam up

Mits said...

SSSSSSSSSSee you later Lolly.

Mits said...

yes Dana, I either put corned beef in crock pot or on the top of stove, but always finish off in oven with a glaze of yellow mustard, brown sugar and ground cloves...350° for 15 minutes

wvgal_dana said...

Oh my Mits that does sound good. I got hubby to eat corn beef and he likes it.

NatureNut said...

Good Morning Everyone in Eagletland!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISSY ♪♪</B

hedgie said...

Yep, Dana, it does expire on b-day, too!

Mits said...

fish crow BWO

wvgal_dana said...

Lynn I thought you was never going to answer that question. lol Thought maybe you didn't like picture taken for drivers license.

Good Eagle Morning Loretta.

hedgie said...

Lolly, hope you have a great weekend w/ your boys! Safe travels!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY DEAR SIS-O-MINE,
HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY TO YOU.

AND MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY MORE!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning everyone. This is the day my Sis turns FIVE - O!!!!!!! YEAH!

NatureNut said...

Well I guess we have to keep an eagle eye on OK & NBG for any hatches.
I wonder why our other 2 didn't hatch. I Know the 1st egg maybe got a shock being laid after the gunshots that night.????Mystery on nature, We didn't have terrible weather either.

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning everyone in Eagleland!
Rain showers here in the valley.
Guess I won't be going to the side porch to practice up/down steps today!

Mits said...

waiting for Ceil and Mary Margaret to arrive.....we are going to visit the giant pandas, and hopefully see the red pandas Sharma and Tate.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

What in the world is in our nest?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

That is besides an eagle, eaglet and an egg! ☺

Mits said...

weather looked good earlier, but looks like showers headed our way.

Mema Jo said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLUEFIELD BEVERLY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Mema Jo said...

Beverly can you open any of your email cards this morning there at Mrs.Riffe's ?

Mema Jo said...

Oops! I know you can open your cards!
Just got notification
You have a very special day - all day long!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Oh yeah, Mema Jo, I can. Thank you all so much. They are all beautiful. I feel so special!!

Mema Jo said...

NBG nest - eagle has wings spread like tenting.......

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I also have an Uncle Red that lives in Lake Havasu City, AZ whose birthday is also today, and had a cousin, Rita (may she rest in peace) whose birthday was today. Rita had polio when she was little but she never let that slow her down.

Mema Jo said...

Saw a 'flying bird' shadow go over the NBG nest.......

Mema Jo said...

EGG ROLL AT NBG NEST
ONLY SEE EGGS I think

NatureNut said...

Was up at NBG, arranging fluff. Saw 3 eggs.

wvgal_dana said...

Mits before you go. Can you please write in here your thoughts about the Atlanta Panda Cam coming back on tomorrow Fri. 20th.????

NatureNut said...

Day off, but stuff to do--xray & haircut. Later...☺

wvgal_dana said...

If everyone could do that--write about your thoughts in here about the Atlanta Panda Cam coming back on tomorrow Fri. 20th. I would appreciate it very much.

wvgal_dana said...

A article may be written about it coming back online. Don't know if any of your thoughts would be in the article or not.

Mema Jo said...

Need to leave for an hr or so
Therapist coming soon - upper body exercises this time.....

Take care & keep your eyes wide open!
I haven't had any email from Suz - maybe she took a day off...
Have fun at the Zoo and say hello to the pandas for all of us..... You still going if the rain reaches you?

BBL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

BOOYAH ON THE ATLANTA PANDA CAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to see our little Luney again. We have been missing out on the best part of him growing up!

hedgie said...

Dana, I HATE having pic taken for the license!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Way to go Sharon and Good Eagleland Morning to you and Mema Jo.

Come on Sissy you can call him Baby Luney. You know you kept saying when you grew up "you wanted to be a panda".

What you write doesn't have to be serious. Fun is great!

hedgie said...

Jo, Suz is working on a different puter today, so may not be able to check in much.
Dana, as I said yesterday about the Atlanta Panda cam....AMEN and HALLELUJIAH!!! Sure will be glad to see action from that little clinically cute cub!
Sissy.....did my card come through? I haven't gotten any notification from Blue Mtn. I ordered it a few days ago...hope they didn't "forget'!!!

wvgal_dana said...

When the article is written. I will be given a link to it so ALL can see it. Plus I will put the link through our Eaglet_Momster email group. The article will tell you how the cam alive again.

hedgie said...

Suz just responded to my last pic I sent...she's probably getting ready to pack it in for the day.
Mits, hope you girls have a fun trip to the zoo!!!! Hey, rain...hold off for our sisters three!

hedgie said...

Oops....forgot to say....tell M-M we said hi!!

Red said...

Good morning everybody!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEV!!

Just wanted to make an appearance before everyone starts looking for me. I'm mostly lurking now. Also getting ready for mowing season. Weeds are growing and mower needs oil change and filters. I'll be outside a lot now.

magpie said...

* Happy Birthday Sissy *

I tagged you right after midnight, coulnd't wait to start celebrating, and Spiday was singing to you in the middle of the night too ! While Weaving...


Here is the Finney Land Site if you did not already get it. It is much farther North than the Water nest....so snow will probably be there awhile longer:

Finney Land Nest

xo ☺ ♥

magpie said...

Whoops sorry about that! I usually test drive it first !

Here it is NOW:
Finney Land Nest

Sorry about that !

magpie said...

By the way, Sissy - Saw where you identified all the wonderful people on your avatar on the prior thread....how about treating us again? And I DO Remember Maxi Dresses ! ☺ Pays to be "old" sometimes (and sometimes NOT ☺ )

magpie said...

Aso, Sissy - I read where the Gobblers were all a-struttin' this morning (Norma's post) - think they were doing the Turkey Birthday Trot just for you ! ☺

magpie said...

And for your Astronomy information for the day:

On March 20, 2009, at precisely 7:44 A.M. EDT (March 20, 11:44 Universal Time), the Sun will cross directly over the Earth's equator. This moment is known as the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. For the Southern Hemisphere, this is the moment of the autumnal equinox.

Equinox Means "Equal Night"

magpie said...

Glo
I am glad you are Glo again!

magpie said...

*** Luck, Hedgie ***

deb said...

We just had another quick view. I am not seeing an egg anymore, is it just buried under fluff?

magpie said...

Crows and Eagles arguing at Maine #1 - and two eagles just landed there at the nest.

And sea gulls singing and Big Boat just made a Fog Horn sound just a few ago..

magpie said...

and they both just left...

magpie said...

I've missed the egg cup views, Deb...

wvgal_dana said...

Welcome back in to Eagleland Margy ( :

magpie said...

Sea Eagle just arrived at Finney Water Nest.

Hi Dana

deb said...

magpie said...

I see something kind of more white very near the baby

magpie said...

Still is ahead of the live, baby alone

deb said...

There are two eggs at Libby Dam.

deb said...

Egg is back in view.

magpie said...

I'm watching too, Deb, heart raced a beat when I thought I saw two sets of black eyes, but I think I am back down to earth now...

xo

wvgal_dana said...

I keep watching these nest that are suppose to be hatching. They are really putting us thruogh the ropes of waiting.

paula eagleholic said...

Gosh, look how big the BWE chicklets are getting....

Lolly said...

NatureNut said...

Norma, you're the B'ball expert. Doesn't MD play today?

Mits said...

Hello, back from the zoo, we had a good time, saw giant pandas, red panda, Asian small clawed otters sloth bears, elephants, hippo, pygmy hippo, seals, sea loins and bald eagles.. rained most of the time, but not too hard.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Now, when I go back to the zoo, I want to go when it is not so hot. I didn't get to see most of that when I went. Too hot! But definitely saw Mei, Tai and Tian Tian, red pandas, and otters. That might have been it. I am so glad you all had a good time!

hedgie said...

Sure is nice to chew normal and no pain!!! He took temp cap off and filed it down and then put back on.

Mits said...

and there was so much more to see, but it is a very big zoo, and hot weather is a pain...that is why today was nice, and the crowds have not started yet, although the school trips have.

Mits said...

ONE FLEW OFF

normabyrd said...

WV plays tomorrow!!!----These games drive you crazy---so many going on at the same time!!!---CANDY'S team defeated my son-in-law's team---101---58!!!---HOORAY!

Ready to go tomorrow and ready for dinner tonight and I am tired. Off my feet for a while.

Mits, Fort Worth, broke an attendance record yesterday at the zoo. Something like 23,000. Yesterday was half price day and also it is spring break for all the schools. Glad I was not there!

magpie said...

Sounds like a very fuzzy Zoo trip, Mits..... bet it was a wonderful day...

Well, off to see if I can get into something....got to celebrate the last day of Winter.....

Good Evening Wishes to all. Hope it is filled with your favorite things

xo ☺ ♥

Mits said...

NBG is up.

Mits said...

well it was up for about 5 seconds

hedgie said...

Thanks, Norma!!

Mits said...

Lolly, National Zoo in Washington D.C. is FREE:)

paula eagleholic said...

Heading out..catch ya'll later...

Lolly said...

Must be nice! Fort Worth zoo is run by Zoo assos. Need money to run it! It is a great zoo, so we do not mind paying and we never go on half price day. I do not like crowds. It has been many years since we went to the Nalt. Zoo. Need to do that next time in the area.

magpie said...

PS
Good report, Hedgie, hope you are feeling better all the way around ! xo

hedgie said...

Cold symptoms not better, Margy...getting worse! If not improved in monring will have to go see Dr. Have to catch these things before they head to the ol' lungs. Feel a panda nap coming on.

Mits said...

sorry you are feeling lousy,Lynn

Mits said...

EAGLE UP, CHICK IN VIEW

Mits said...

update from OK nest.....

Depending on when true incubation started, which may be after the second egg,
or sometimes not until after the third egg, the hatch date may be the 20th of March,
although it could happen anytime.

Mits said...

oh, forgot, got to see the baby gorilla too at the zoo....:)

deb said...

I am home, Norma, with a hair cut! By today I was so tired of it, I went shorter than it has been for a few years.

Mits said...

I'v got to get my hair cut too, Deb....it is spring, time to go short and sassy:)

deb said...

It was definitely too long this time and am glad I went shorter.

Mema Jo said...

I had to cancel Hair cut for this week...
I'll be out of sorts if it grows too much too fast. It is a good Spring feeling!

Mits said...

eagle up

Mema Jo said...

They report that the baby gorilla already has teeth!
Was he 'cute' ?

Mema Jo said...

Time for feeding!
There is our little one!!

Mits said...

it was adorable Jo....split coming
