The beak is even open and you can see the feathers on the back of his head. He did such a beautiful job for me. You put tiny little diamond...

I hope Steve slides in here with a new thread soon!
Still rainy in the valley with lots and lots of wind!
JO---I guess I am not as sly as I thought--ho!---That's what I was expecting!!---we have a SLOW cool rain-----
Happy Hatching to be in Looney Land!
BWO looks soooooo weird today.
Finland Water still stuck, Finland Land, I can't get in either !
Got Held over at work, got to cram in some sleep before 6 pm tonight.
Have to catch up on blog posts, later !
Hidey seems to be weathering the weather well.
Best wishes for a great day to all
Good Night ! xoxo
Sorry I can't be more polite...hope all are well, wish I could read all the news...but, It is What It is...
xoxo
Get some shut eye Margy!
We'll see you when we see you!
go rest Margy:)
GOOD NITE---'LITTLE ONE'---sweet dreams----
No Ma'am!
That was for Norma! It's anybody's guess! But I still think we are more than a week away...
Like Sharon said - If Hidey goes now we will need to call it an
Unintentional Flight! You know like
Gone With The Wind!!!
JUDGE SONIA SOTOMAYER of NY has been chosen as SUPREME COURT NOMINEE by PRES OBAMA------
whatta i say PAULA---
Interesting is the fact that the
U.S. Circuit Judge Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court would make her the first Hispanic in history to be picked to wear the robes of a justice.
Only coffee this am!
Going to read newspaper & see what is happening locally.
BBL
Still waiting for your ans--PAULA!
What did I say?----
WOW!---The 2 ADULT HERONS are dancing at the nest!---2 heads in the nest!---What a beautiful dance!!---
NOrma - you were asking me if I was taking bets on a fledge date for Hidey!
Lots of hammering near our nest.. Wonder what is being repaired or built?
Loon checking out eggs
Must be ok - right back down on them.
BBL
PAULA---MEANT TO BE FUNNY---GUESS IT WASN'T!---SO VERY SORRY!!
LOON site seems to be a bit windy!!
Is that MOM or DAD on the nest now?
All is good, Norma!
Lots of wing flapping this morning holding onto that branch.
PAULA---Always been good!---I just couldn't figure out what I had said?----no problem---
Good morning! Have had my coffee and watered my plants. Takes Jack and I a while to water everything. Going to Denton again. Picking up Jacob at school, preparing dinner and then going to Joseph's ball game. Laurel has only 8 more days of school, then they are out for the summer. Poor Jaoob had a bad fall yesterday. Was playing in the sprinkler with a neighbor friend and slipped on the sidewalk. Hit the side of his head hard on the concrete. He cried, almost threw up, and slept. Laurel kept waking him and checking his eyes, so guess no cuncussion. Poor baby!
Been watching Hidey. Won't be long! Also watching the loon, but need to eat so I can do my excercises.
SISSY!---Have you checked the ATLANTA CAM lately---Changed for the summer program!!---Some ADORABLE pics!!---ho!
Oh Hidey! Going out of sight!
This bird is trying to drive us nuts! :)
Hi All!! Boy Hidey about gave me a heart attack flapping around in the wind like that!!!
MORNIN' LOLLY!---Sorry about JACOB'S fall!--Wonderful that he is better this am!---My grand-kids & adult daughters are counting school days too!!---Enjoy the game---sounds like fun!!!
It's about fledging time, right?? Isn't Hidey about 10 1/2 weeks old??
Paula, Lori added the Eaglelicious last week!
Rain had tapered off for awhile, but picking back up again...very little wind here.
This will be my day to get back on doing windows in the sunroom (wish I could say I don't do windows, but....it is what it is!); it's one of the those jobs that doesn't like sun!
WHOA--JO!!---We must be going for the BIG 5-0!!---
Yeah, Norma, get my fix of hugs and kisses today. Oh, sometimes they try to fight me off, but I am still bigger than them. Ha! I sit on them, tickle them until they tell me I am the best Grandmommy in the whole world. They love it! Joseph is too big for that, but Jacob is a riot. Zach, too, when I see him!
I have some really cute panda pic from Beijing.. they are sooo cute. wish I new how to put them on here
lots of info on that site for new people watching eagles....
Beaux, technically it's still a bit early...12-14 weeks is the norm...but (s)he is practicing the wing flaps like crazy! 10 wk. b-day was Sat.
** good morning **
** everYone **
Hedgie, do you have the hatch date for Hidey??
I counted last week and got 7 1/2 weeks...must've done it wrong.
And I agree, it does look like he might fledge earlier than usual.
C(°?°)3
Jim
Jim, the hatch date was March 14.
LOL, Norma...must be that CRS cropping up again!
did you know??????
Several eagles soaring in a thermal together is described as a "kettle of eagles."
No Mits, I did not know that. But, also I have never seen over 2 adult eagles at one time.
I was just going through a small stack of newspaper clipping recipes and one flew off the counter and I CAN'T IT ANYWHERE!!!!! Only possibility is that it drifted back behind the cabinets through the little gap between them and wall...argh! Luckily, it was a recent enough piece that when I googled it, I found it online!
Thanks for answering Jim, Sharon!
Nope, I didn't know that either. And, as I posted several weeks ago, a flock of crows is a MURDER--learned that on Jeopardy. A flock of ravens is a CONGRESS!
Check this out:
BirdGroupNames
Just finished my walking/excercises. Whew! Now I have to cool off. Set my laptop so I can watch Hidey while I walk. LOL
MORNIN' HEDGIE---BEAUX63--GA-GIRL--& MOVIN'JIM!---Hope I didn't miss anyone!---I have my windows open & weather is 57° & drizzling!!--
MITS -- Did you know that a bunch of donkeys can be referred to as a PACE of donkeys!!--ho!
LOLLY---I do the same things with my grand-kids!!---Oldest now thinks she too old to be HUGGED!--she gets stiff---I tickle her--!!
The others are still huggers---except I have to chase the little one first!!! ho!---LIFE IS GOOD!!
Norma, hope you have on your sweats, or you'll have to turn on the heat!!!
back to writing checks---
Been watchin the loon. She keeps lifting her wing. Loved Larry's Log today. He is so excited about the hatching. Wish she would get off the eggs.
Did I miss Hidey's lunch?? I was paying some bills!! Thanks for the info - I just love this little thing!!! I keep it on all day - I just heard some flapping and ran back here to check on her - How are you today Norma???? Thanks, Hedgie & Jim for answering my question!!
Well, back to paying bills - be back soon!
HEDGIE!---I do have on my sweats!!----do you? This is the first time I have missed a work-out class---but--good day to catch up on paper work---
THERE IS A LITTLE BLACK LOON
PEEKING OUT FROM MOMMA LOON'S WING
WHOO HOO!
Sure is a frisky little Loonie!
Look at that Little Loon
HEY!---I SEE A BABY LOON!!--peeking out from MOM!!---hooray!
OH JO!---Couldn't believe my eyes!!
WOW!---LIFE IS GOOD!!!
T-bird is at HealthSouth for her interview. Pray for her, will ya?
WOW, HOW PRECIOUS IS THAT!!!
It is still so foggy there on the water. Guess Poppa Loon will be by soon.
Sharon - Thelma in my thoughts for that new job interview!
And it looks like Dad is on patrol!
DAD IS APPROACHING!----
No sooner said then done
There is Poppa Loon
Baby Loon alone in nest - Poppa on the right side keeping an eye on him while Momma takes a swim!
Look at his white tail feathers!!---This is so COOL!!---LARRY SAYS--IT'S ALREADY DRY AND DOWNY AND ACTIVE!!
Don't think that little Loonie wants to be sat upon by Poppa.
I hope SISSY is watching!
Norma, I called Sissy and told her to look so she saw it!
I sent her an email Norma.
Thanks SHARON!---Isn't that little one cute!!
Another good day at the nest!
I think it is Tai (could be Mei) with the Ice Cycle treat outside.
Atlanta Beauty hanging in there at Nap Time.......
Almost feel the need to ride to our nest and see what all the saws and hammers are into! We are sounding like the Maine site!
I am home for lunch, need to catch up on this page and grab something to eat.
WOW I see a Spidey's web blowing around on the Wide View of the Hornby nest.
Sidney's 3 are napping
Delta Wide View - They have decorated their nest! Very attractive
Must have just been traffic volume....got the loon cam open, finally, for the first time today!
But Mama is covering the little Looney!
Norma, no sweats here....my windows aren't open...LOL!!!
Been thinking about Thelma all day....sure hope she gets the job! And Andrea started her classes today....she was so excited!
Good luck, Thelma, on your job interview!
Thelma is back. She says the interview went okay. They will let her know either way by the end of next week!
Tickled that Andrea has started school.
DEB---Have you see the BABY LOON!
so adorable----just peeked out from under MOM!---He was ready to go!!--
Wishing you the best THELMA!---Will certainly keep you in my thoughts!!
Sharon, tell Tbird "yippee'---hope the word will be a big YES!
Andrea gives you and the Lord all the praise for this new step in her life!
wishing Thelma the best;)
I have it open, but was getting my lunch and missed it Norma. I am watching now!
SHARON---Where did THELMA apply--at the same place where you work!!
That would be nice!!
Forgive me SHARON!---I have been glued to the LOON this afternoon & hadn't read your earlier message!!
You are a good person---BLUEFIELD SHARON!!
Bless her heart, Lynn. This is all a "we thing".
I need food---will be eating lunch!
I see the little loon, just in time for me to head back to work!
Thought our cam was frozen
Hidey has been so still for so long
Trees are blowing ! Live Feed is Good
Afternoon all. Just saw the baby loon so cute. We just got back from Walmart and in the grass over near there were 9 baby goslings.
Took MM to the mall and to walmart. She did good.
MM first outing! WHoo Hoo!
Now put your feet up and panda nap!!
I mean you Ceil! MM is good to go! lol
Jo,I am fine. Went shopping and got some sales.
A friend of hers is bringing chicken and dumplings. Wonderful day for them.
Got to the Finland water chat site...a lot of talk bout cam not refreshing often last week, but no one mentioned that it wasn't changing at all. Finally found a capture w/ the 23rd date and 16:04 time w/ some Finnish text..gist of translation: hail storm...cam has stopped. Sure hope they are working on it!!!!
Mmmmmm, Ceil....sounds delicious! Think I'll check freezer and see if I have any schwan's diced chicken....I may fix that, too! Way to go, MM---build up that strength!
YAHOO! STEVE!
HOW ABOUT A NEW THREAD
She is doing good just like Helen. If it were me I would still be in bed. LOL
Bet Steve is really busy after his vacation.
Wonder if the loon having her mouth open so mouth means that she is calling out all the time....oh, to hear that lovely sound!
I would love to have sound on the loon cam. Little Loon peeking out!Ceil - your sisters say you are the bestest caregiver ever!
Hidey is starting her wing exercises
Hope she gets a food drop soon!
Shucks...no chicken!
Guess Tomato Basil soup will have to do for a nice tummy warmer tonight!
Thanks Mits. Love doing it. You guys have done a lot for me.
Lynn any thing hot to eat today sounds great.
Since we can't hear anything on the loon site, listen to these!
LoonSounds
Loon Egg Roll
Really FAST loon egg roll.... Only 1 egg doesn't take too long to roll I guess.
Look Look at Little Loonie
White downy bottom up feathers showing
Thank you Lynn! I keep wishing the cam had sound - Maybe Larry can get it
for next season.
Time to think up something for dinner..
Would really like to ride to Baltimore and get some chicken/dumplings! Yummy!
BBL
The food drop at our nest is late today
CAM HAM!
Baby loon all alone!
Adult swimming - maybe getting a minnow
Adult loon back on the nest
Rolled the unhatched egg
Hatched egg parts are not there now
Baby loon still sitting down away from adult
Both loons at nest - one is in the water
JO---MOM LOON collected the egg shell & took in the water & disposed of it---came back to nest!---LL (little loon) is still at the same spot!!
I didn't get to see that happen with the hatched egg. That little one thinks he owns that nest!!! I keep waiting and watching in case he is taken for his first ride on the adult's back!
I guess he just came up to snuggle under adult's wing!
HEDGIE---I keep waiting for DAD to take LL for a ride on his back!!
Hallelujah Hawaii...watching the action at Minnesota. Best email of the day was Jo's Loon Hatch alert.. been watching and my computer is not freezing up!
Wonderful to behold...
Looks like I will catch up on last evening and this morning's posts, in the morning after work ☺
Have only read posts since the Split!
xoxo
Bet Larry is One Proud Papa !
Yo Hi - - Best wishes T-Bird on the job prospect !!
Okay - see Hidey has changed positions finally..thought our Still Cam was stuck.
See that BWO is back to normal....the view that is was all watery looking this morning..
Caught up on the posts, all the links and photos will have to wait til morning....Aaaaaaaaaah, that will be Fun!
Sounds like everyone is doing pretty well....
Wanda :
Hope that GeeGee's scan went well, will look forward to updates on that too.
Got to get ready for work, will watch Looney til the end -
and Hidey of course then out the door.
Time to find the Fairy and get ready for work....she has her work ahead of her!
xoxo God Bless Us, Every One. xox ♥
Wow, I just heard Hidey here at work...that must have been a loud peep!
Think Steve is a little overwhelmed being back at work after being gone for a week ? :)
Hidey sure was making that branch bounce!
HIDEY! That stick is NOT the most stable place to practice!
HEART FAILURE
Needs to be a food drop!
BBL
Heart attack before work, would not work out too well! What a flapping going on !
Baby Looney is back out from underneath Mom
Hidey is working on some nestovers...
Okay that's it! Fun's over for me..
TTFN xox
Best Wishes to all for a Good Evening, Hope Wellness Swells and Comfort Abides....xox
Hi Folks...have been on the loon cam alot today. 1st chick hatched as you know...2nd egg still under parent. The chick took a tumble some hours back and almost fell into the lake...which gave some of us a heart attack...Not sure I have the stamina to continue watching until the second egg hatches...like being in the waiting room all day at the hospital :( Sounds like all had a nice time at the site visit over the weekend and glad the weather held out for the most part for you all. Will be closing out this evening...but just wanted to say hi and wish all a happy day after the holiday...somehow these 4 day weeks are longer than the 5 day ones :( Take care and will see you all tomorrow...our dear Hidey is growing so big...I hope I am here when fledge happens...!
Cam Ham time!
See ya'll later...
Geeesh thought I would stop in to see how things are with Hidey and everyone and there sits a big black bird on the very edge of the nest squacking occasionally and giving me heart failure AND I discover you seem to have all gone looney LOL. I work tonight but figured I needed a glance at NCTC eaglet now as well it doesn't appear like fledging is too far away. Take Care all.
Hello Glo. Great to see you on here!
Well, 19 out of 24 window panes done in sunroom...whew!! Hard on the ol' shoulder joints! Only 6 are "small" panes.
I made Lolly's Sopapillas today...very rich, very GOOD!!!! Had to try it before planning to make for company next month!
Hi Sharon have to peak in every now and then but I have to admit I have not let myself get too attached this year I just can't right now. Still have to see my favorite nest and our eaglet every now and then. Chances are I will not be sitting here typing fledge as it happens though not this year.
LOL besides if I yell fledge the way I did hatch well I will once again be loony with the rest of you LOL.
later, Paula.
Finally got a look at little Looney...cute little fella from what I could see. How soon will he take a ride on mama's back? Anyone know? And does she carry more than one at a time when it happens?
Hi, Glo...you and Margy are our real night-owls! Hope you have a good shift, and hope Margy's is quiet....with all this rain...probably not!
Hi, Bozzett...are you only able to get on while at work?
Poor Hidey looks like a drowned bird. What a yucky day...but know that we need the rain...especially Megan! She must still be working too hard...hasn't spent any time with us today.
Look at that bird flapping away on the side of the nest geeesh gives ya heart failure.
oh great now we are gonna wing jump from 1 to 4 and back all on the side of the nest. How come we can't like hop through the middle.
Glo, Hidey is past all that! It's time to fly!
Hedgie - I am coming over for dessert! I have the ingredients but haven't made it yet!
egg alone at loon's nest
Looks like a fish still laying behind the blob.
loon just swam by, not on this one's back, must be on the other parents back
from Larry....
The first baby loon is IN THE WATER!!!
The loon in the water sat by the nest and the baby jumped/fell in.
The loon on the nest got off the nest and joined the its mate and baby in the water and swam off a little ways. The second egg is laying on the nest exposed. There is no obvious hole or crack in the second egg but there may be something on the other side or underside that are out of view.
loon back on egg
OMG...look at the Flamingo cam at NZ.....lovely sight!!! Different view from what I used to look at!
Lynn, they are building their nests, so they must have changed the view to show it...some are already sitting on the mounds
looney was on parents back, now in water by itself
finished 2 bedroom and bathroom closets....heading to kitchen, and laundry room tonight, after dinner, I hope
I've been watching the Loons and baby for a half hour and it is so soothing. It's amazing to see that little black ball of fluff just get up and go into the water and climb all over parent's back as opposed to other baby birds that can't hold their heads up for days!
Nature is so interesting and it is all here for us to see:)
Don't over do it Mits!
Gonna see if I can spot the baby loon getting a free ride :)
your right Paula, just ate some dinner, maybe I will call it a day, last load is in the dryer....at least there are new shows like Deadliest Catch on TV tonight, usually when the network shows finish for the season the stations like HGTV, Food Network A&E, etc, start their seasons
how did Gee-Gee do today Wanda?
Sounds like you've been at it all day...you'll be there long enough to get it all done.
your right, I rearranged my whole schedule at the zoo, so I could be here, if Mei were pregnant, I would have gone home, but they can do it without me....jubby keeps reminding me I'm just a volunteer, and he is right, had to shift my priorities
5 flamingo nests in view
Helen, GeeGee did really well today. Her scan only took 20 minutes. We go to the Urologist
on Thursday to see what, if anything they found. Will let you know. How's the ribs doing. I hope you get well and completely healed up soon, because I haven't been able to eat ribs since your accident:( TRUE STORY
Parent on nest...Hidey is very loud...getting fed!
Parent gone...fish still laying there...Hidey doing some wingersizes...
still sore, but better than they were....4 weeks tomorrow....funny, jubby wanted to go to JR's rib place last night, we went and I ate the ribs, like falling off a horse, had to get back up and ride again;)
Well, Helen, be sure to let me know when you are ALL HEALED. I hope it is before the fourth of July. Plan to BBQ ribs then:)
lol....Wanda, should be good to go:)
Goodness, Mits, you really are working too hard!! Slow down, girlfriend...time for a rest.
Wanda, glad that GeeGee got along well.
LOL about the rib aversion :)
Thanks for the flamingo info, Mits...they are so graceful, and the color is showing much more vibrantly on this closer cam view.
Does anyone know of plans to publish footage of Hidey's fledging? It's bound to happen soon
I'm quitting at 9:00 p.m., Lynn;)
don't know, Hawklady, depends on who is watching and knows how to do it?
loon baby is swimming all around the nest, looks like it is trying to figure out how to get back in
Mom loon called dad. dad came and baby loon is swimming with him. Hope they get him back in the nest.
Time for Deadliest Catch! BBL.
The plants on the Loon nest look like they might be wild iris or lillies of some kind. Hope the cam stays up long enough to see them bloom.
Going to process my photos from Saturday from the camera to the 'puter. Hope I have some goodies. If I don't make it back here...GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE.
Baby loon still in the water. People on chat room are concerned.
Got my slideshow done of our visit on Saturday....link is under May 23rd with the pics I posted a couple of days ago.
Eaglet Momsters Blog
Hawklady - If I see it I will certainly tape it!
If no one can capture it, maybe Steve will be able to publish it for us!
Good evening all. I ain't even going to watch that loon cam for now! I had to look a little while to find Hidey. Getting ready for bed now. I am still worn out from the trip!
Loon is off nest Going to look for baby and other loon.
Hey, Helen, did you hear Sig talking Norwegian? Bet that's kind of what Finnish sounds like!!
Paula, if I have some of the Sopapilla, would you like me to put a little taste on your picture??? That was so funny in person watching Wanda feed Lolly, but even funnier watching it again on Gene's video...roflmbo!
Sure Hedgie, give me a taste!
That was me giving Lolly a taste...she has done so well on her diet, I figured she deserved a treat! Wanda wiped off her mouth :)
Like Lolly said, it's calorie free that way!
I heard that Lynn, I bet they are concerned Ceil, it has to be tired and hungry:(
Two Harbors nest now has sound!!
I have been out running around - I can't really spot Hidey - what position in the nest do you all see her?
If you all can find the blue link that Lynn (Hedgie) placed in one of her earlier comments about the Loon Information - The baby is safer & more protected while on the parents back out in the water then sitting in the nest. Ten days was mentioned as the length of time the parent will carry the young around on their backs.
Can't believe that after all of that crab fishing, the Hillstrands would go fishing on VACATION!! Even tho' it's a warm clime, I would think enough is enough being at sea! Jonathan is a hoot to watch dancing!
Jo, I think Hidey is at 2-3 o'clock.
I am glad to hear that about the loon!
Thanks, Sharon!
Thanks Jo. The last time I saw the loon it was not on the parents back. Larry was suppose to come back to the blog but has not.
Ceil - I guess they are born to swim!
I keep checking but not sure he will be brought back to the nest.
Larry's comments are from 8:02pm
I think it is the new one Very lengthly ..
WOWSIE Larry's Blog sure tells us quite a story
OUR 3rd SPLIT IS ABOUT
TO HAPPEN.......
We are doing GOOD!
I guess I am to say,
There is a "pack" of Raccoons in the PA woods!
Jo I just read Larry's comments. He said it is a good thing there is not sound. Right now the little loon is safe on dad's back. I am calling it a night. Pleasant dreams all.
