You are allowed, Donna:)

Hi Deb. I think that flying bird is probably a white-throated sparrow, but maybe another sparrow variety. I'll try to lighten it at home. It prob. looks larger, as it was closest to camera---ctr. of window.
Just checked BW, saw feeding time, but too dark to see babies.

Mits said...

BRS update...

Wednesday, March 4, 2009
HA!

We are not done yet! 485 miles down, 115 before we quit for the day. I have been running hard this morning, and now I have to fuel the ol body then fuel the ol truck. Yes, I took IH10 instead of the backroads. Fuel department changed my route because fuel suddenly got cheaper further south overnight I guess. So, I just now had the chance to update the map. LOL

Will continue the last part of the trip after lunch.

No problem using comments in the blog to chat, just remember they get delayed a bit. :)

Oh, and while driving through Mobile, ALabama, I made two new videos!

NatureNut said...

Little bird in my pic might be a goldfinch--they have yellow & blk & white wings! DUH He does look large--maybe closer to window.

Mits said...

TV at BWO.

deb said...

Thanks, Loretta!

deb said...

I see the little bit of yellow, too, but sure looks big.

Mits said...

Mits said...

eagle just flew out of nest at HI

Lolly said...

H-e-l-l-o.....! We are here at Big Chief RV Park. And (Whoopee!)
my computer works!

We have a beautiful view of the lake. Probably won't do much today, but tomorrow going to Canyon of the Eagles (hee hee) to search for eagles! Going to do some hiking if it is not too hot! Not sure of the temp, but we have short sleeves on and a nice breeze.

Lolly said...

Wanda....you are going to have to get a laptop for your travels!

Mits said...

BRS looks like he is stopping for the night in a small TS.....Hello, Lolly

Costume Lady said...

OH, Lolly...enjoy every minute! And keep us informed, so that we may feel we are there with you:)

Costume Lady said...

Lolly, I have been waiting for you to take a trip and TRY OUT your lap top and report on it. SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!

Mits said...

pick up truck just left HI site, hope they are finished their work, they were annoying the birds in the area.

NatureNut said...

WOW, Hello, Lolly! Wasn't that a show? LOL
Are you in OK or TX? Sounds like great weather.Hope you get some great pics at Eagle Canyon.
We (in DC area) will be getting 60 by end of week!!

Lolly said...

Yes, we have WIFI here and it is not password protected, so all I had to do was click on Big Chief when it came up on my connections.

Pretty cool! Jack spent some time before we left to find out how to get our mail while away from home.
Anyway we are up and running.

Lolly said...

We are in Texas on Lake Buchanan. It is west of Austin in central Texas. It is the area of Texas known as the Hill Country. Very different from your part of the country and mine as well, and it has a beauty of all its own.

hedgie said...

Me thinks Steve must be tied up in another one of those planning meetings.....if we try hard maybe we can hit 1000 again! LOL!

Lolly said...

If I knew how to download pictures into this computer, I would. I'll try and see what happens!

Lolly said...

You know what?! Jack just had the nerve to tell me he gets computer time too. He has a lot of gall to say that too me!! LOL

hedgie said...

Now, now children....you must share!!!!!!

Mits said...

Saline cam is moving around, wonder what Bill is looking for?

Lolly said...

But I don't wanna!!!!!

Yea! I was successful! I downloaded pictures. And, put one on the blog. (misc pictures) It is a picture of Joseph. Have not taken pictures here yet....but I will!

hedgie said...

I am posting a few bland photos on blog. There is just NO color in the woods now! Should be ready to view shortly.

paula eagleholic said...

Evening, all!

Took Boo to the vet this afternoon...he got his ear drain out, hopefully it will stay healed!

Took the dogs for a walk while it was still light out....will be nice next week to get home and have the sun still shining!

WE nest - sure acts like a second egg. Not sure if it's been seen or not...will find out!

paula eagleholic said...

Nope, haven't been able to spot a second egg at WE....pretty sure it's there, from the video and everyone's observations last night...plus eagle has been tending to nest vigoursly...been on the nest all day, none of the standing around stuff.

Mits said...

thanks, for the update, Paula

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Paula...I'm sure it is great to be home...yes was a nice day. Bet the doggies liked the walk.

paula eagleholic said...

Egg roll our nest!

paula eagleholic said...

Lolly, glad you and Jack arrived safely! Have fun tomorrow and hope you spot some eagles!

Eagle is digging in the bowl - nope back on eggs...

paula eagleholic said...

Believe that's Belle in our nest...

hedgie said...

Glad to hear that Boo is all better, Paula! Pray for no recurrence.

deb said...

Bill is doing something at Saline, cam is moving and now there is a metal something or other coming out under the cam.

deb said...

Lolly and Jack, glad you made it safely to the lake. I hope you find the eagles tomorrow. Paula, glad Boo's ear is better.

deb said...

Bill is talking to us, but I can't hear him.

deb said...

This is from the Saline Site:
ANIMAL FEEDER SETUP AT 6:30 PM, EST In yet another astounding feat of technology, we will demonstrate our one person camera operation thing.

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Lynn = nice pics! Great pics of the nest visit too...hadn't seen those!

deb said...

Lynn, I enjoyed your pictures, such pretty deer and the cardinal is one of my favs!

deb said...

BWE parent is up.

paula eagleholic said...

What happened to the Saline pics...all pixelated now

paula eagleholic said...

Had to reload Saline, it's fine now.

Mits said...

lol....hope Bill and Mrs Bill never have a fight we can hear, she was nagging him about something when he came in...shutting down the server for about 5 mins...probably has to write the menu.

paula eagleholic said...

Now it's all pixelated again...anyone else having issues?

deb said...

I wonder why I can't hear it tonight? Maybe I need to shut it down and start over.

paula eagleholic said...

OK now...maybe that's why he shut it down...

paula eagleholic said...

Found out about this very late last night...pups were born yesterday.

Texas white lab puppy cam

Lolly said...

Just posted pictures of the lake. Could not get good ones as the sun would not cooperate...it was right in the way!

The lake is way down due to the drought. That is why we are not taking the river cruise. 9" of water up river does not work with a boat.

Mits said...

mine was pixilated while he was outside, but sound was fine, even when he had us listen to his intro, he said, that will bother some, I'm sure his neighbors in the other townhouse are not happy with him....glad he is having fun:)

Mits said...

is that a live stream, Paula, or just video, they just took one of the puppies away, guess to its new home. it looked to be about 12 weeks old.

hedgie said...

You gals are too kind! My pics are NOTHING compared to what you all do, but thanks. Remembered that I have some fairly decent shots of my yews from the Feb. ice, so I'll post them in a little while. I LOVE evergreens of all kinds.

Mits said...

Saline's menu for tonight...

Tonight's menu:

Turkey and Giblets cat food
Dry cat food
Salami (cotto)
Yukon Gold potatos
Chicken
Peanut Suet
Pork patties
T-Bone Steak

deb said...

On the puppy cam page is says the next litter is due March 7th so there will be new puppies to watch then.

deb said...

This was just on the news:

Depression Cooking With Clara

paula eagleholic said...

Deb - the pups were born early...yesterday!

paula eagleholic said...

It was live when I posted the link...

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, looks like a repeat on now...

paula eagleholic said...

People in puppy chat aren't sure why it was changed, either.

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle just flew into H1 and H2 H2 has food. What all that sawing sound at both H1 and H2??

deb said...

It was new puppies when I started watching, too, then they kept getting older. I thought maybe more than one batch. I read the chat and someone there said it wasn't live right now??

Mits said...

yeah , saw the birth date, that is why I was confused when I saw the older puppies

paula eagleholic said...

Not sure why it's been off...actually haven't watched it at all today...puppies where born last night...last one after midnight EST

paula eagleholic said...

Puppy cam will be back on in a few minutes...

hedgie said...

I was going to post the Depression thing, too. There is a website, too. Reminds me that I have a recipe from my MIL called "Hoover Cake" (named after the Pres who lived across the road from my Grandma's aunt), not the vac or Sharon!!!! I'll dig it out and email the recipe later...it's delicious!

wvgal_dana said...

So I didn't miss any new eggs laid? Or any new hatchlings?

deb said...

Rocky is at Saline.

deb said...

RTH in Portland nest.

deb said...

neither one stayed long.

deb said...

That Clara was funny, Lynn. She said people now a days are wimps--I am sure we are compared to what she lived through.

Mits said...

off to fix, dinner, that is Marie is:)

paula eagleholic said...

Puppy cam back on.

My Mom had a recipe for cake...said it was called depression cake...no oil or eggs as I recall...

glo said...

Long night...longer day but wanted to stop in to say Hi to everyone. Those are certainly cute little eyes on those 2 at BW soon we will see cute little fuzz balls with cute little eyes right there at NCTC.

deb said...

They are sure cute.

hedgie said...

Paula, if I remember correctly, Hoover cake doesn't either. Gotta look for recipe.

floralgirl said...

My Mom used to make depresion cake-it had no eggs, milk, or butter in it.

paula eagleholic said...

That's the one!

Mits said...

JUST GOT A CALL FROM ED LENNOX.....
seems our little lady took a tumble today, and broke two bones in her lower leg, don't know which leg. She was supposed to be operated on today, but surgery got cancelled due to other emergencies. She was fooling with the cats at the door, slipped on a rug that had ice under it and down she went, poor thing. Prayers going out for her...BIG TIME.

deb said...

OMG, thank goodness it wasn't worse. Poor Jo! My prayers for her also!

floralgirl said...

Oh no, poor Jo:( Keeping her in my thoughts for sure.

deb said...

Do you know the hospital info, Helen?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Mema Jo!!!!! Oh no, bless her heart. Prayers, prayers, and more prayers. Wish I lived closer!!!

paula eagleholic said...

OMGosh, poor Jo!

She's probably at Frederick Memorial Hospital....I'll call and see if she's there....BRB

Mits said...

Frederick Memorial Hospital, Room I think ED says was 3003-A, she is scheduled for surgery tomorrow around noon, if she does not get bumped again because of another emergency... I talked to Sharon in Bedford to let her know.

paula eagleholic said...

They still have Jo listed as being in the ER...

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Mits, guess they don't have patient info updated yet.

I'll send out an email with the hospital and home address.

deb said...

Thanks, Helen and Paula, for the information.

paula eagleholic said...

FYI - I had lunch with Jo yesterday...glad we were able to get together.

hedgie said...

Oh, no, poor Jo.....serious if it requires surgery...means pins screws or plates. Poor Mema...and what a crying shame that they make someone wait like that for surgery...after all, they certainly have more than one OR, and surgical team, and surely more than one orthopedic surgeon. Don't they realize who they are dealing with???? OUR Mema!!
I was just thinking about the OB watch when I looked and saw this awful news.

hedgie said...

Bow your heads, please.
Lord, please take care of our Mema Jo. Be with her through her treatment and surgery and keep her safe. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Mits said...

Amen!

Mits said...

I forgot to ask Ed about the baby, he said he will call me tomorrow.

deb said...

Both eagles in LW.

floralgirl said...

Eagle at HI

deb said...

WIll they be at the same hospital if she has the baby soon?

Mits said...

I am seriously addicted to that nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Mits, you have mail

Mits said...

that is right, forgot about that....the Lord works in mysterious ways.

paula eagleholic said...

No Deb, GD is in Hedgesville, WV

floralgirl said...

They would not be at the same hospital. One is in MD, one in WV

deb said...

Okay, thanks, Paula. I knew she lived close to Lynn, but didn't know where the hospital was.

Mits said...

backatcha twice Paula.

Mits said...

ok why did I think baby was coming to Frederick Memorial.

paula eagleholic said...

Nope, GD will be going to Hagerstown...Washington County Hospital

Mits said...

see that the 2 brain cells colliding again.

paula eagleholic said...

I checked the blog from Sunday night...

Mits said...

both eagles just landed at HI with fluff

deb said...

Both eagles in H2.

Mits said...

ok, knew it had 3 names in it:)

paula eagleholic said...

Back to you, Mits.

Mits said...

got it...:)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I don't think I knew HI had sound. Wow!!! That is a great cam, I do love it!

Mits said...

thanks, Paula.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Sounds like they are bowling with the microphone!

Mits said...

oh Sissy and they can really be quite vocal.....,plus all the other birds that are there...I just love it. Can't wait til the real fun begins.

Mits said...

the crows really bother them...such yelling and screaming

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I am gonna go get this youngun tucked in, bbialw

Mits said...

plus you can make it fullscreen and the takeoffs and fly ins are great.

floralgirl said...

Oh that is so cool- listen to them talking!

hedgie said...

Actually, Jo's gd is to deliver at Washington Co. Hospital in Hagerstown,MD.

deb said...

From Tom Otto on the live feeds from WA:

Re: Kent cams back online!!
the big server bank in CA is having some problems. It should be back soon.

hedgie said...

Oh, see Paula already said that!

Mits said...

good news.Deb

Mits said...

am I hearing thunder at HI, sky looks dark, I like to hear them eagles when they are flying around

deb said...

I thought I heard thunder, but it may have been the wind in the mic.

glo said...

Well prayers for MeMa Jo as I call it a day. Makes me very sad to read that info.

Mits said...

looks like storm clouds moving in.

Mits said...

raccoon at Saline

Mits said...

looks like he was reading the sign to stay off the deck.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Man, I wish the hospital that Jo is at had that ecard thing like UVA does. I don't have alot of good to say about UVA but that is a great public relations service that they provide. Easy for us to send the messages and great for the patients to receive.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Eagle back at HI!

Mits said...

2 raccoons at Saline

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I tell ya, besides our cam, I think this is my favorite!

Mits said...

back to one

Mits said...

I like this one because it has live feed, sound and the pic is good.

Mits said...

back to 2 rocky's

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I really like the two views of the same nest. That is so good, except at supper time that is.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Gonna go watch Criminal Minds. DVR is a wonderful thing!! See ya'll in the morning light. Somebody holler if you hear anything about Jo!!

I love you my friends!!

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, Sissy, I beg to differ. Makes suppertime all the more interesting!

paula eagleholic said...

Check your Momster mail for addresses for Mema Jo!

Mits said...

that is my favorite time, watching them eat:)

Mits said...

opossum at Saline

Mits said...

sounds like the cat is nearby...growling

paula eagleholic said...

Awww, that possum is so cute!

paula eagleholic said...

And a raccoon! Possum doesn't want him there!

Mits said...

Mits said...

paula eagleholic said...

2 racoons!

Mits said...

roflmbo....poor fellow can't catch a break

paula eagleholic said...

Rocky is trying to sneak back in

Mits said...

paula eagleholic said...

Never heard a possum growl before...Rocky beat it

hedgie said...

Thanks, Paula!

Lolly, forgot to tell you that the lake looks beautiful!

deb said...

The new Catalina Update is up and Seal Rocks has at least two eggs. They moved their nest, Dr S doesn't think a cam will work there. :(

Catalina Update

Mits said...

paula eagleholic said...

Too many goodies, Mits!

Mits said...

thanks, for the update, Deb

Mits said...

the black cat was growling the other night

Mits said...

opossum going after the beer can

Mits said...

with the food they eat, can see them all going into cardiac arrest one night

deb said...

They have sure cleaned out the food tonight.

hedgie said...

Saline is really fuzzy and herky-jerky!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Well, everything is reruns, I am going to bed. Will see ya'll tomorrow!

hedgie said...

Good report from Dr. Sharpe. Wonder if Jim has read it yet. He hasn't mentioned it, so maybe not.

Lolly said...

OMG.....Jo! Bless her! Oh, I do hope she is not in too much pain.

Paula, got your email with the info. Thanks!

We went for a drive just before sunset. Deer were everywhere. In one residential neighborhood we saw a herd of over 20 deer.

Came back but missed the sunset, but did take a few pictures. Then talked with a couple from Illinois. They have been here since January and will go back home at the end of the month. They told me exactly the location of one eagle nest. Heading there first thing in the morning.

Okay.....need a blue thingy for HI. Help please! Thanks!

hedgie said...

Night, Sissy. Sleep well!

paula eagleholic said...

I stayed up too late last night watching the puppy cam...so gonna hit it early tonight.

Hugs to all ♥

And from Jo, if she were here

Prayers for all needs being said!
(((Hugs)))

deb said...

HI

HI2

paula eagleholic said...

Hornby nest Hancock

Mits said...

racoons are very neat eaters:)

Lolly said...

Thanks for the links to HI.

Been watching Saline but it keeps freezing up.

Loved the white puppies!

hedgie said...

Just noticed Margy's post about heading out for time w/ James. I left her voicemail earlier about Jo.

hedgie said...

Oh, Lolly, forgot to say...tell Jack I love his shirt!!!! Good advertising!

Mits said...

both raccoons at Saline

Mits said...

heading for another split soon.

hedgie said...

Don't think we'll make the 1000 mark after all!!
Mits, I forgot....when is your meeting to find out the pregnancy watch schedule??

wvgal_dana said...

Just went through emails and seen what happened to Mema Jo. PRAYERS PRAYERS PRAYERS FOR OUR MEMA JO.

Mits said...

last Wednesday, Lynn, depends on her hormones when we start, they are testing her regularly.

Mits said...

awww, this raccoon at Saline has a bad back paw, its limping.

hedgie said...

Okay, Mits. Didn't remember you mentioning the schedule so thought it hadn't happened yet!!!
Yes, Dana...we all are praying.
Sure hoping that Margy is okay....wouldn't think she'd be out this late since James would have school in the morning!!! I bet he sure loves his grammy!

Mits said...

but we will make the 800 mark

Lolly said...

LOL Will give Jack the message.

I am about to turn in. Be sure to keep us all posted on Jo and on Jo's expected ggchild.

Nite to all! Sweet dreams. Prayers for Jo!

Mits said...

I'll let you know when it starts, Lynn, should be around the middle of April, but that is just a guess, she was AI'd in mid January.
