wvgal_dana said...

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Ceil

paula eagleholic said...

Welcome Stino and Becky.

Hidey got his name because the eaglets managed to keep him so covered up for so long!

Mits said...

thanks, Ceil, eaglet getting big, egg still there.

ceil said...

Looks like it has gotten cloudy at our nest.
BBL

deb said...

I am home, off for the weekend. It is cool and cloudy here with some rain every once in awhile.

Mits said...

welcome to your 1st weekend ,Deb, rest up if you can

deb said...

Tomorrow I am off to Sioux Falls to help a friend who is moving sort stuff. She has lived where she is for 18 years and has accumulated too much stuff. It won't be strenuous work, so that is good. Sunday Mary and I are hoping to go birding, but waiting to see if her mom is coming with the rest of the family tomorrow.

deb said...

The 2009 eruption of Redoubt continues. Seismicity at the volcano has dropped over the past 48 hours, though it remains elevated. This change does not negate the possibility of an explosive eruption over the coming days.

Mits said...

wow, Deb, sounds like a busy weekend, enjoy, thanks for the update on Redoubt

deb said...

I am trying to put up the Robin's nest picture, but blogger is not being nice to me!

deb said...

Kestrel parent is leaving the nest right now.

paula eagleholic said...

Forgot to say Welcome to Vicky from FL.

LTL - glad you enjoyed your visit! Did you take any pics of the nest?

Hidey is laying in the bowl

Got my mother's day present early! Came home to find the backyard all mowed and trimmed, thanks to the college kid. Very pleasant surprise! I'll take it!!

deb said...

Shoot, that was a very fast switch. The other parent must have been right outside the box.

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, Deb, gotta pack it all in to 2 days now! No rain yet today....shhhh...

paula eagleholic said...

No showers until the overnight hours per Bob Ryan on Ch 4

wvgal_dana said...

Mits sure hope your feeling at least a little better.

Deb nice to have that weekend. Sure you remember those. Love seeing your pictures.

Did I miss Glo or hasn't she been in??? Do we need to do a "silver alert"?

deb said...

Kestrel gone again.

deb said...

Feeding in Lincoln. little mouths wide open all begging for a bite.

Mits said...

what a nice present Paula:)

Mits said...

they are so cute, little fluffys

Mits said...

Hidey is up

wvgal_dana said...

Time for wing exercising

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey is at the launchpad...facing the nest...oops, moving under the cam now

Mema Jo said...

Returned from K Mart - There casual shirts can't be beat for their style & price.
Ceil, Thanks for the OK cam update! I have missed seeing that eaglet who has now grown a lot feather wise.
Ceil/Mits Tell Mary Margaret "Hello"

paula eagleholic said...

Wingersized to the far side...

Gotta feed the dogs and grab a bite too....they get to go for a walk tonight since I don't have to mow!

Mema Jo said...

Was good to read that Lisa made it to the nest in her travels - I am hoping she may have some photos to post!

wvgal_dana said...

Checking out Duke Farms. Cute little chicks.

wvgal_dana said...

Parent just flew into Duke Farms.

Mema Jo said...

Hancock Wildlife cams are really great...
So many of them.

wvgal_dana said...

Chicks thought they was going to get fed. The parent flew out maybe to get food.

wvgal_dana said...

OK eaglet getting food.

Mema Jo said...

LW Eagles: Lake Washington Eaglecam
Update May 7, 2009A recent spring storm has disabled the eaglecam and we are working with all of our Lake Washington eagle cam partners to bring the camera on-line as soon as possible. We believe the eagle nest and two newly hatched eaglets are doing fine. The large nest-tree is intact and it was most likely a power surge that has damaged some electrical equipment. We will bring you new updates on the eagles and the camera system as soon as possible.

Mema Jo said...

AND From NBG Update - The T-1 line which transmits the Eagle Cam image to the Internet is down, part of a larger outage in this part of the United States. We will have camera back online as soon as possible.

Mema Jo said...

Our nest should be getting a late evening snack soon!

I love OUR LIVE FEED!

Mits said...

thanks Jo for LW and NBG

deb said...

Thanks for all the updates, Jo. It looks like there are two eggs in the OK nest.

deb said...

BWO Osprey looks pink, instead of white.

deb said...

Must be an egg and something white next to it at the OK nest.

magpie said...

Hidey is getting better at feeding him/herself ☺

magpie said...

Good Evening Everyone, I have been out scouring the back roads for Wildflowers, found some nice ones.
Wild Geranium and Dames' Rockets are out ☺

magpie said...

Fantastic pictures Steve put up with the new Afternoon thread!

Bet he was glad to see his little buddies again ☺

magpie said...

Oh, a parent Eagle joins the nest ! ☺

deb said...

Adult our nest, I didn't see a food delivery though.

magpie said...

Now Eaglet is playing baby again, wanting to be fed

deb said...

Hidey is eating, maybe I missed the food coming in.

magpie said...

* Hi Deb *
Nice photos, see you foiled the Blogger Cop! Looks like you have Dames' Rockets too !

wvgal_dana said...

There was food already in the nest for Parent to feed Hidey.

deb said...

I figured you would know what it was, I didn't have a clue. I just thought they were pretty! It took almost an hour to load 3 pictures, Margy. I am not sure if it was my computer or Blogger.

deb said...

Thanks, Dana, I must have missed the stash.

magpie said...

Hey Deb - Actually I think they are NOT Dames' Rockets, just re-checked my pictures....let me check and see again....flowers are not the same.

Where's Megan or Wanda...they can beat me to the punch !

magpie said...

Okay, Deb
Maybe WILD BLUE PHLOX sometimes I cannot tell without seeing the leaves....

deb said...

I taped Survivor yesterday, off to watch it. BBL

Margy, googled Dame's Rocket, I agree, very close but one petal short.

deb said...

I think you have it, Margy, googled that and it sure looks right.

wvgal_dana said...

Margy I was just in looking at your pictures. The "letter" thingy was nice to me. So glad it left out 2 letters. I had to type in "butas" riclmbo=rocking in chair laughing my butt off.

magpie said...

The color on your photo is perfect, Deb. I took a lot of pictures today but color on many picture very disappointing. I will get them posted a little later on.


I do believe there is another turtle shell in the nest, Hidey just moved it around harder to see now.

Ms Bookworm said...

HI, EVERYONE! Just wanted to say a quick 'Hello'-- Hubby just called, and is on the way home. Gotta make dinner. Looks like dinner is served at Hidey's nest! Hidey's not being exactly shy about eating, is she?!LOL Looks like she has the nestovers all to herself now. Hope everyone has a great weekend, and a special Mother's Day! I'll check back later, after our dinner. BBIALW...:o]

magpie said...

That's a good one, Dana....
sometimes those word verifications are Hilarious !

I need a bath big time, been out in the woods, am covered in anti-bug and tick spray....

back in a little while

xo ☺

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Ms.B see you after you have dinner.

magpie said...

You know, we are at the stage where we need a international map with push pins to show where all our bloggers are from ! We are adding new states all the time !

TTFN

wvgal_dana said...

Evening time at Duke Farms. I do think those chicks could have had more food than they got.

wvgal_dana said...

When a eaglet reaches six weeks old an eaglets beak and talcons are almost adult-sized. So Hidey has already reached that point.

Mema Jo said...

Happy Feet is on TV....
I have seen before & enjoyed it.
I have been gone for over an hour....
Love the Robin's nest and all the Wild Flowers!

Mema Jo said...

Mei has had a very sleepy day!
I hope that is a good sign!

Mema Jo said...

Looks like BRS is crossing AZ country headed towards NV

paula eagleholic said...

BWO update:

05/08/09:
We've opened the 2009 Osprey Cam Web Log with the latest news on our three eggs, which should hatch at the beginning of June.

paula eagleholic said...

Did I just notice or has the BWO page always been blue lettering. I thought they were both purple...

paula eagleholic said...

This Week on Nature

Voyage of the Lonely Turtle...20-foot-long jellies are just one of the remarkable species that share the vast Pacific Ocean with the loggerhead turtle. The NATURE episode Voyage of the Lonely Turtle, follows the female loggerhead on her astounding yearlong, solitary odyssey across the Pacific to lay her eggs. Along the way, she encounters exotic reef life, evades deadly predators and navigates man-made obstacles.

Watch ";Voyage of the Lonely Turtle" airs Sunday, May 10 at 8 p.m. ET on PBS

wvgal_dana said...

I'd love to see that Paula. Have to figure out what channel PBS is on DirecTv. Thanks I watch the Amazing Race but I could tape the Turtle. Thanks again hope I can find it.

wvgal_dana said...

Oh I think it might be channel 282 Animal Planet channel maybe.

paula eagleholic said...

Animal Planet isn't PBS Dana

wvgal_dana said...

Nope I can seem to find it. Maybe if someone finds it for DirecTv they will comment in here...... thank you

wvgal_dana said...

FOUND IT FOR DIRECTV CHANNEL 42

Mema Jo said...

Going to check out any TV programs for this evening.....

BBL

wvgal_dana said...

Going to watch some tv with hubby.

Thanks again Paula for bringing that to our/my attention about the "turtles".

paula eagleholic said...

Your very welcome, Dana. I know there's a few turtle fans on here!

magpie said...

Sounds like a great show, Paula... I have two problems, One, I don't get that channel! and Two, I will be sleeping at that time Sunday night...go in at midnight that night. Maybe I can find it another time, another source...

:(

hedgie said...

Good evening y'all!
Dana, Ch. 26 is PBS on Directv.
Still catching up on blog!

hedgie said...

The Turtle show is on at 8 Sunday evening, Dana.

hedgie said...

Margy, I'll tape it for you.
Lots of new bloggers today!
Great success on my shopping spree. Great sale at Kohl's and got some very nice dishes....8 settings...got 4 in Sage green and 4 in Pine green...very complimentary. Got some matching placemats, too.
At Bed, Bath and Beyond good sale on Yankee candles....got 3 of them!

hedgie said...

I had 38 new emails, and haven't even looked at Yahoo yet.

hedgie said...

Great new pics, Deb and Margy! Really enjoying your views of nature.
I've been waiting for the nearby farm animals to be at the fence when I exit the development.....there are new calves that I'd really like to get some shots of.

hedgie said...

My fence posts are all set, and my cornfeeder is filled...hope my creatures will start visitng again.

paula eagleholic said...

Sounds like a great shopping spree, Hedgie

Anonymous said...

What time(s) does Mom and Dad usually come to the nest? Do they have a "schedule" or do they just show up at any time?

magpie said...

Oh, Channel 26 - I do have that one! Now, must got to tackle the sleep problem, but these shows usually air a few times don't they?

Hedgie ! This has been a Big Week for you....new carpet, new fence, new dishes...Great !

ceil said...

No set schedule PeggyB. They are always close by.
Lynn glad you had a great shopping trip.

magpie said...

Man oh Man, I hit a wrong button when I was finishing up adding pictures awhile ago, and all kinds of crazy things happened.

Don't EVER hit "Next Blog" when you are posting things to your profile, I have NO IDEA where this machine went, but Microsoft did its own recovery. I thought I was in Deep DOO-DOO.

hedgie said...

An expensive week, Margy!! Dishes were a gift, tho'.

magpie said...

I like the sound of the colors, Lynn, will go nicely with your Froggy avatar ☺

Costume Lady said...

Hidey looks so peaceful in her bed. Comfy temps and no rain or wind. He/she should sleep well tonight:)

hedgie said...

That sounds scary, Margy!!! Hope everything fixed itself!
Had the absolutely most delicious soup at lunch today.....cheese-base w/ shrimp, crab and scallops....M-m-m good---and I'm sure it wasn't Campbell's!!!

Costume Lady said...

Margy, I have two wildflowers blooming right now that I haven't heard you mention yet. Hepatica and Spiderwort...so pretty. Are you familiar with those?

Costume Lady said...

Lynn, that sounds delish!

magpie said...

I should have been more polite earlier and said Hello to Everyone...
haven't quite figured out when to be awake or asleep now that I am working nights...
Hope everyone has had a good day and you are looking forward to some nice things this week-end.
Megan works all the time so I don't know WHEN she ever gets a "week-end."

magpie said...

Oh, you lucky girl you! Spiderwort is a beauty, I have seldom seen it. And Hepatica, with the "liver leaves.." - I have seen it at the Fish Hatchery in Leetown but not this year, yet...
Hope you take and post pictures, Wanda ! ☺

magpie said...

Hidey had a busy day, probably didn't quite know how to handle all the sunshine

magpie said...

Where did you have that soup, Lynn...

Costume Lady said...

Margy, the rain has done a number on all my flowers. Spiderwort is still pretty, but the Columbine have lost a lot of their petals.

hedgie said...

Just saw a June Bug on the basement screen door.....doesn't he know it's not June yet? LOL!

deb said...

June bugs are the worst, there is no bug creepier to me, except for big, black spiders. Gross, I am not a bug person.

deb said...

I am going to read, then I want to be off to SF early in the morning. Night everyone!

magpie said...

Good Night, Deb
I'm not far behind you!

I found a dead June Bug on the porch this morning...

hedgie said...

We ate at Casa del Sol in Hagerstown (Salem Ave. at 81 interchange). I really like that restaurant. It was the special soup of the day....I should have bought some extra, but no way to keep it cold while we shopped. Maybe next time.

Mema Jo said...

The eleventh hour is here & there are 111 comments - Spooky!

I am off to bed - busy b-day party tomorrow for daughter over in
Hedgesville!

Good Night All
Peace to you and yours
Prayers for everyone's needs being said

Costume Lady said...

Good Night, Deb. Have fun tomorrow:)

Costume Lady said...

Night, Jo...Never did hear how Kristen's 50's party turned out. Tell us about it tomorrow:)

Costume Lady said...

Wildflowers posted on Wild and Wonderful.

hedgie said...

Have a good time on your adventure, Deb. Week two under your belt....now time to go have some fun!!
I hate bugs, too!!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good evening all. We are at Cedar Lakes and it rained all evening. Talked to Andrew and they said a tornado touched down in Rocky Gap, Virginia, which is right on the other side of East River Mountain. He said lightening lit up the sky constantly for about 10 minutes. Glad it is only raining here.

Mema Jo said...

Wanda B-Day party is tomorrow at gd in Hedgesville
I sure hope it is a surprise.......

TTUT

Costume Lady said...

Speaking of bugs, do any of you have the stink bugs really bad right now? They are all over our house...probably drowned a thousand of them this week!

Mema Jo said...

Night Sharon
Stay Dry!
Peace!

paula eagleholic said...

Sounds like the weekend is pretty full for everyone....me too...headed to Mom's for the weekend..

Have a good one everyone...see ya on Sunday!

Costume Lady said...

Hi Sharon...have a fun weekend!

magpie said...

Great photos, Wanda...
Jacks in the Pulpit...Sigh....a true favorite of mine, have not seen them in several years.

I better say Good Night ! sure was great to "see" so many today, hoping to see everyone else over the week-end! Guess the Bluefield and Bedford families are retreating their little hearts out.

xoxo Peace, Love and Prayers xoxo

magpie said...

I've seen a few stink bugs too.
Now just where are the Japanese Beetles ?

Costume Lady said...

Sunday, my first born Grandson will graduate from College...can't believe how this time has flown! Denise is having a party for him and Mother's day too. Two parties, two weeks in a row...don't know if I can handle it or not...OH YES I CAN!

magpie said...

I was on Providence Church Rd today, Mema...probably drove right past your grand-daughter's house!

magpie said...

I'm pulling a Ceil....saying good night and keep coming back...I used to do that a lot but I passed the baton on to Ceil ☺

Costume Lady said...

They come a little later, Margy. Wish they would stay in the ground!

magpie said...

Sounds great, Wanda, Just Great.

Oh, yeah, Deb comes back a few times too ☺

Costume Lady said...

Yes, I think Ceil calls it the MARGY SYNDROME;)

magpie said...

Wanda - the last time I saw a pile of them, it was in April, on Delmar Orchard Rd. Have not seen them since, houses cover all that ground now. Also the last time I was a rose-breasted grosbeak around here, same place, same time.

I saw two Baltimore Orioles chasing each other around today, it was so cool ! ♥ ♥

magpie said...

That was several years ago, the Jacks, guess I need to get more Roaming Rights

magpie said...

..duh..Last time I "was" a rose-breasted grosbeak ?? Oh come on now!

hedgie said...

HEading for tub....BBIALW.

magpie said...

I was never ahead, but I guess I better quit at a time when I will NEVER catch up.

Good Night, for Real! (gotta spend the whole day cleaning house Saturday )

xoxoxo

magpie said...

..hidey looks so weird stretched out on the nest...
(who said that?)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Going to bed now. Will check in with everyone tomorrow. I still can't believe they have WiFi here@

Costume Lady said...

I think I will crawl into bed...been a long day.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL

Lolly said...

I am just getting on to say Good Night, Sleep Tight!

Have had a headache this evening have not felt the greatest. Maybe I blogged too much this morning. Was going to watch the snowman cam, wanted to see the two bears again and did not even do that.

Soooooo Good Night! Sweet dreams!

hedgie said...

Everyone is saying goodnight as I check back in......so I will chime in with the same refrain. Rest well, sweet friends. Mits and Lolly....continue getting better. Margy, you can't clean house ALL day...unless the weather is bad! S&S&T and families....enjoy the peace and tranquility of your retreat. Wanda, party hearty! Jo, whose birthday are you celebrating???
See you all tomorrow!!
Oh...it is after midnight....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DANA!!! HOPE OUR WVGAL HAS A VERY SPECIAL DAY!!

Great, beautiful, wonderful morning here in West Virginia, a perfect day for a

Happy Birthday, Dana Hope it is your best one ever, filled with all your favorite things

xo ☺ ♥

magpie said...

Our Eaglet has some adult company

magpie said...

The way Hidey is settled into the nest bowl reminds me of the parents when they were roosting on the eggs. A nice memory...

magpie said...

The Hilton Head Ospreys sure picked up some feathers this week, guess that's what happens when you feed your kids ☺

magpie said...

Houseful of chicks in Harrisburg, think they just got fed - I have to peek and scram on that site...

Hidey is waiting on breakfast

Play time over for me, time to start cleaning house!

Hope Everyone has a Great Day...
Try not to work too hard... Paula, Deb - and anyone else with chores today

Catch you on my break !

magpie said...

Megan Hope your markets go well this week-end, sure you will make many smiles with your flowers ☺

magpie said...

By the way, ISS is making early morning and late evening fly bys today, Sunday, AND Monday...first time I ever think this has happened since I've been watching.

TTFN

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning Magpie! We are heading to the dining hall for breakfast. I know what you mean about the peek and scram at PA. That can be really nasty.
