«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 935 Newer› Newest»No, Margy, I have only seen Surf Scoters.
Well, Deb those are awesome looking birds too! I
have never seen either one!
I See that big Owl, Jo....and I mean BIG - I think he or she was mooning us a minute ago !
Been a long day...a bit emotional...my back hurts, and I'm getting sleepy, so will say goodnight now. Prayers and peace.
It's amazing how the eagle at BWE can stay scooched up so close to the snow and just be still about it !
I'm fading fast here folks, better slip in a Good Night...
Sleep Sweetly, with Peace, Love and Prayers xoxo ♥
Good Night, Hedgie I hope the night brings sweet comfort and relief for you xo
Raccoons out in full force at
PA woods & Okie Bird Cam & don't see that much of the SRV food has been eaten. At least I think I still see the celery!
Night Margy and Lynn.
The Owl came to the nest box at 8:36 mountain time. Maybe tonight is the night, I hope so.
OOPS! Spoke too soon -
Here comes the Opossum
(don't remember his name)
Good night Margy & Hedgie
Opossum went behind the sign and then off to the left. Guess he has belly filled & off to roam.
It's time to call it a day..
Good Night
Prayers for everyone's needs being said
Restful sleep & peaceful dreams to all!
(((hugs))) ♥ ♥ ♥
Hi All! We got home about 8:30 I had a few things to load into the trailer and it has taken forever to read the blog.
Have to tell you about Joseph basketball game. This was his best game! He hot 4 of the seven baskets they got. They lost but he played so well!!! We were so proud. This was his first year to play and it has not been a good team, not much coaching. But Jospeh really did great. The other coach put two boys on him.
Wanda, so glad Karla was okay. Probably fell off a truck.
We are leaving in the morning..back Sunday. Taking the lap top, but do not know if we will
be able to get on. Hope so!
Watched American Idol and Without a trace...fell asleep on the couch. Hope I can go back to sleep now.
Read all the comments about the ironing board and ROFLMBO! I must copy them for Karla. She is home and A-OK.
We had a great visit with GeeGee. She was feeling good and ate all that I fixed for her. She even did a little dance. See for yourself on my JUST FOR FUN;)
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Guess I am heading to bed.
Jo.....I am going to be thinking of you and the expected great grand!
Nite all! Sweet dreams!
**gOOD NIGHT**
**EVERYBODY**
JIM
Quick breakfast at BWE:) little eaglets are sitting up pretty well.
Good Morning Eagleland
GeeGee sure can dance..I don't think Karla had to take too long to teach her. I think GeeGee had her own moves down pat. lol
I'm thinking of that egg that will be at WE.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Haven't seen any chicklets yet, this morning. Too cold to uncover them.
Yes, Dana, GeeGee had some moves going for her. It was so good to see her feeling that well.
I bet Wanda I sure your heart just took it all in ( :
Megan seen the babies at BWE earlier.
Mom is up at BWE see some of the chicks.
Good morning to all my friends of fine feathers and fur. Two more days until we have a hatchling (or at least a girl can dream).
Make a great day!
Now she/he moved see the chicks both are sitting up lol so sweet

Switch at our nest, eagle on eggs flew out.

I cooked up my sausage the other night, then drowned it in Libby's Sausage Gravey! It was fantastic! (PS Let's not tell RED ... Just kidding Red ☺ )
Lynn, I am planning on leaving around 3 or so this afternoon. Appointment is 9:30 in the morning.
Home health will be here today. Maybe they won't be able to fit anymore sponge into the wound. If not, then I will just be packing it from here on and no luggage to carry around. More will be revealed.
Megan's BWE Pictures are Top Notch !
Hope you get an A+ from the doctor's Thursday, Sharon
Give Thelmas and Buddy as many hugs as you can for us, please ☺
See you later, Norma don't forget to come back to us ☺
xo
uh, that would be singular, Thelma, not Thelmas !
I will do that Margy. Buddy sleeps with me when I stay there. I love him so good. He is the coolest!
No matter what the doctor says, you ALWAYS get an A ++++ from us, Sharon ! ☺ ♥
Got to get crackin' now, long list of To Do's today...
Including watching all the Nest Cams of course.
Loved those GeeGee Dancing Pictures, Wanda
Great Day Wishes for All
xo ♥
Good morning, everyone. I see two chicks at BWE! Egg roll our nest.
Sure sounds like you are well on the way to real healing this time, Sharon! Hope you do get to discontinue your hoover!
Ditto, Wanda..GeeGee looks grand!
Hope you don't get called in, Margy. Glad you enjoyed your sausage gravy...Libby's has good flavor, but a bit skimpy on the sausage, so GOOD idea to supplement....did you do bisquits or pancakes?
Finney looks COLD, as well as MT.
Ok, so now I am hungry. I want a floppy bacon sandwich!
Never Fails ! Opened up the IWS Sites, and got lost in the Freeze...wanted to check West End but by the time I could get back to anything missed egg roll there and OUR nest.
English Muffins, Hedgie
Hi Deb ☺
'Bye now...
I take about 1/4 lb of Tennessee Pride mild sausage and cut into small chunks as I fry it in a large skillet. I have premixed 2 cups of milk, 3 tablespoons of flour 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Then I add milk mixture to sausage in the skillet stirring constantly and bring to a boil. Continue to boil and stirring till it thickens. LIBBY'S CAN'T TOUCH THAT.
Good Morning everyone:)
well that really sounds easy, Red:)
Nest Update
03/03/09:
On March 14, Blackwater Refuge will be holding its 9th Annual Eagle Festival.
Visitors will be able to watch our new eaglets on the live video feed at the Visitor Center.
Please join us for our most popular event of the year.
Sounds easy to me, Red. I have never made sausage and gravy and have maybe eaten it twice in my lifetime. I do know a few people who eat it around here, but not many.
When I retire, I plan to be a Gourmet cook, but when I am on 12-hour work shifts, I have to cut some corners....
I'll save your recipe, RED -
as it was, I let the slow cooker take care of the cooking while I took care of a dozen other things...☺
I thought it would be alot harder to make, I've never had it but my friend from Vermont, loves sausage gravy and grits, will send her the recipe. Guess you can't substitute whole milk for skim, huh:)
We should set up a Momsters album somehow with nothing but these delicious recipes that many share on here...☺
I guess just saving them to a personal file is just as easy...
I guess BWE just flip-flopped, think I missed it..:(
I would love to go to Blackwater...
working that week-end, chances look slim
Thanks for reminding us, Mits
and Good M☺rning
Daddy used to make the absolute best sausage gravy. Mommy made the best biscuits. Her's were thicker and fluffier and Daddy's were flatter. Good stuff. I wished I had learned how to make Mommy's biscuits. Okay, now I am getting really hungry and this cucumber is not cutting it this morning! :)
I think maybe Red should just publish a CookBook, complete with pictures..☺
sun is up at HI
Another one for the "Can you believe this garbage?" file: a WV lawmaker has proposed a bill banning Barbie dolls and others like it from being sold in the state!

Good Wednesday Morning from the BigRigTravels Broadcast Truck!
TK woke me up because I never turned the heat on lastnight, and it got chilly. LOL I had the covers wrapped pretty tightly around me, and I guess she could not nose her way in. She got under, turned around a few times, then scooted close to me. Then the purrs and motors started. LOL Spoiled TK.
Ok, looks like it will be a nice easy, long run today. Goal today is 600 miles. No pick ups or deliveries today, just straight driving. Decent weather it looks like.
Head 'Em Up! Let's Roll! I gotta a truck kat that needs to be rocked to sleep, and people need to get their food out in Texas.
Posted by BigRigSteve at 3:44 AM
I am thinking eating cucumbers might be a little bit healthier if I didn't totally soak them in salt when eating them.
Red...is your recipe the low cholesterol version?? LOL! I use a whole pouhd of sausage!!!
crow is near the nest at HI, and you can hear the eagles in the distance, sounds like spring there with all the other birds.
Wonder if we could "hire" the Eagle Express for a field trip to BW????

they are quick to make too, Deb:)
That's Good, Mits!
Wanda: Excellent idea....
Paula..?
We know that Lolly can make books!
raining at PH
Hey Margy and Mits...this is aqn excellent idea! We could get more info from Ceil about how her son did the photo book...and do the same thing w/ recipes!! Hey, hey, Paula....what do you think???
eagle at HI
if poor Ceil ever gets that computer running, she hooked up the new one, and it still does not work....
Ya'll are talking about a lot of work....I would suggest Cafepress...it would be nice, but not sure it's going to make a lot of money....
yeah we would be the only people buying it probably:)
Oops...I should have said "eggcellent" idea!!!
Mei Xiang is back inside with her treats.
Feeding BWE
Sure is a lot of shadow in the nest !
Two parents
Paula, our money is good! LOL. Just probably not enough of it to offset cost, huh? Maybe NCTC or F&W would do the printing....sure they have the capability.
I think if BWE parent would move that shadow would go away
Gotta get some work done....."hoover" time!! BBL.
Squirrel in nest at Maine
...was...
I wouldn't suggest anyone put any of their own money in it...if you do it at Cafepress, I think profit is $2 per book...not very much!
Morning Everyone! Another Eggciting day I hope.
Put my Snow/Bird pics on blogspot this AM.
Gotta get back to work...
BBL
Thanks for the feedback and info, Paula....keep us grounded...we get carried away when we talk about Food ☺
Hope your day is going well, and fast !
xo
Ha Ha Belle is sunbathing!
your are right Paula..
Oh, Treat yourself to Loretta's new pictures - truly spectacular!
Many of our favorite birds there!
Megan a Towhee is in the bunch too !
Thanks Loretta, hope your day is going well...
We could use a little Mema Jo on here....

**GOOD MORNING**
**EVERYONE**
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
did you all see the bwe chicks -
under the parent now
Wow- just when I though I'd heard it all, Hedgie-
A WV state lawmaker proposed a bill Tuesday to ban sales of the iconic Mattel doll and others like her.
The proposal from Democratic Delegate Jeff Eldridge said such toys influence girls to place too much importance on physical beauty, at the expense of their intellectual and emotional development.
"Basically, I introduced legislation because the Barbie doll, I think, gives emphasis on if you're beautiful, you don't have to be smart," Eldridge said. All I can say, is following his own logic, he must be beautiful...cause he isn't too smart:)
yeah, and Barbie is 50 years old now, too. Leave her alone, still have mine around here somewhere.
nope, don't need the trash can:)
I don't care if guys or girls play with Barbies, but I worry about lawmakers who waste time on such stupid issues.
Especially in today's economy, what a waste of valuable time!
I lost all of the Wildwatch live cams, I need to check the 10 second ones.
hey Jeff, lighten up:)
fish crow at BWO
I think BRS is taking a different route from what he planned. Bet he's taking I-10 to I-49 then up.
OUR eagle reminds me of a little boat ☺
Hi Mema -
Hi Red again
and everyone else, trying to post my BWE Egglets pic
the sunset pic from last night was from I-10, Red
Well, I called them Egglets instead of Eaglets but I did get a post on Magpie's Roost of the babies from just before noontime
Margy - your pic went in just great!
Loretta - I just can't get over the variety of our feathered friends' pic you have placed on your blog!
Thanks Jo!
I am glad the shadows were gone from the nest when I saw it...☺
I love the bluebird on the twigs with the red berries on Loretta's pix, also all the other ones!
It is hard to choose just one favorite of NatureNut's bird. We need to take a trip to the park with her!
good job, Margy:)
JO-ELLEN did you use you trash can!!!!!!!!
She's a sly one, that Jo, Mits...
wonderful pics, Loretta:)
hey stand up for what you believe in:):): remember.....
"Be who you are and say what you feel....Because those that matter....don't mind...And those that mind....don't matter. "
Amen:)
fish crow has been at BWO for along time....
it is wrong number day here at the homestead, only class I have gotten have been wrongs numbers, one guy even question my number, said I have had it for 25 years, and no Gloria is not here
Mits, I knew he was on I-10 last night. I used to have a job that took me to Tallahasse a lot and I have eaten at the truck stop where he took the sunset photo.
Egg roll our nest.
Eagle at HI
You got around in your jobs, Red!
BWE Feeding
Lunch break. Almost finished cleaning...upholstery and scrub bathroom is all I have left to do!
Just remembered that I have retirees breakfast Fri. AM...,.NO HATCHING ALLOWED until after 11!!!!
Hi Gang, checking in while sign paint is drying. Got tired of watching it!☺ For Surrat Tavern. Girls just made a new one & the wind blew it down & it split in 1/2! I knew about this, so brought my hair dryer!!Want it up Fri. for a photo shoot.
Re: Birds at Park--some of the angles are not great--one window had screen at bottom so had try get on tiptoes & try to get pic from top window close to the bldg. We did have an unusually big variety yesterday. I didn't get everything I saw---the usuals now are chickadees, titmice, white throated sparrows, house finches, goldfinches,nuthatches,robins,woodpeckers, etc.Did see a flicker land under feeder, but truck scared him away.Closest I've ever seen one--wanted his pic!!
Gotta eat lunch & check paint!
Loretta, I can't believe the variety you are lucky enough to see on a daily basis! Loverly shots! What a difference a nice background makes....I got some shots of a cardinal, but against the trunk of a tree w/ leaves on the ground, it just looks so drab, and doesn't do his colors any justice.
blue band across BWE
cleared up now:)
Loretta-your pictures are great!
Love the towhee shots, haven't seen any here yet, usually have a male and female around this time of year.
I put a few flicker shots up, there is one pic with 8 flickers in a tree in my yard. Not a close up, but if you make it full size you can see. We have lots of them here.
Loretta, is the Surrat Tavern in your park? Didn't know that!!
Nice pics, Nature!
Both eagles at LW
Loretta, the bird near the feeder at the first pic with the very long tail, reminds me of a cuckoo...I guess it is maybe "just a mockingbird" ?
In fact I think there are two birds like that in your picture.
Forget that last comment! I just need better eyes...think they are both female cardinals...
can only get them on the 10 second cam, like Deb mentioned before
So therefore I'm the one that is Cuckoo
both eagles at HI
Feeding at BWE babies exposed with parent in view
SW and Frosty are out!
eagles, ducks, seagulls calling at HI, also some human voices too.
One of the LW eagles is back in the nest, the other is still on the limb.
saw Glo posting in chat room at HI, had one woman there this a.m. make a typo and another woman reprimanded her for her spelling...got to love those chat rooms:)
Deb, wonder what happened to the live feed at LW and Kent?
Snow White and Frosty are going to be hard to tell apart...only 1 day apart.
estimated time for the cherry blossoms to bloom at the Tidal Basin this year is April 3rd thru the 9th
I am not sure, the whole Critterzoom site is down.
little beaking at LW
Hen party at Pix PA
Oh No, blogger wiped out my message!!!!Guess it was too long. I see Margy decided the bird was cardinal. One that puzzled me was on berries, upper left. Now I see it has eyestripe & must be Carolina wren.Was hoping for waxwings. Last year a flock came by & wiped out the berries in 2 days!
Megan, flickers are pretty--only ones I asee are flying up from grassy shoulder of road. You see those white rumps.
Great pictures everyone! Deb, we have a stuffed scoter at Park(gotta check which one).And Glo better go into pic business like Bob!! Sorry I didn't get to vote, but they're all great!!
Lynn, Surratt House was taken over several years ago by Park & Planning, so now it's in our Division. Chelsea office here does all the "museum support" (signage, banners, graphics, etc.) for nature centers & house museums.
The paint dried!!!Gave it 2nd coat----then other side. BBL
from Judy's Eagle Calendar HI should lay eggs.....
Mar 24-28
Yes, Paula, they are going to be. Maybe one will have some feature to help tell them apart, size most likely won't help.
there is something really strange with my phone number just got my 3rd wrong number caller, and they are coming from all over the country.
Are they all for the same person??
no, one was from VA, this one was from Texas looking for Claudia, they sound like they are coming from businesses
beautiful sunny day at the Sidney eagle cam.
feeding at BWE
Great new photos and BWE chick and nest photos on your site, Deb...
really good ones!
Love that cardinal too!
Loretta, next time you pop in, what is the bird flying between the female Cardinal and the feeder post. Whitish tail, some white on the wings. I think I see yellow on the head. looks to be the same size as the Cardinals.
New to me, that is...now I remember that Mar 3 was yesterday
Those babies have a good appetite
SPLIT ...
IS HERE...
