All alone, I feel so all alone!
Yes, but "we'll always have Paris"
Bob, you need to come on here often cause every time I see your name, it reminds me to vote!
Looks like Hidey is going to fall asleep and fall over! :)
LOL, I snapped that same pic, Steve. Loved the way he had his foot stuck out and his talons curled.
Heading home catch ya'll later!
thanks, Steve and Sharon...
yes, Bob, and we love your sense of humor;)
ok, had to escape the condo...still have work to do, but went and found a place to get my haircut,and colored tomorrow...hope it works out ok, this means I can stay longer, had an appt next week in Bethesda, but now don't have to be back till the 5th of June.:)
Oh Man! A presence from Steve and Bob Quinn, and the rest of you Eagle People...and of course Hidey.
A night off, and some Judy Collins on the CD player, and when Hidey Squawks, that music gets muted.
Does life get ANY BETTER THAN THIS ???
xoxo
well Margy, sipping a g&t might help:)
Hey there Mits - I got a trim and a few highlights last week , and feel like a new person -and that new person feels ten years younger ! ☺
got to unload car of groceries...bbl
Yes, Mits got you there....but those things can make me feel like I need to be around someone .... ☺ ♥
..not groceries, the G&T ☺
You are not alone anymore Sharon ! As long as you got Hidey, you are NEVER alone
I play the powerball about once a week...grandson's and favorite sister's dates on there...so maybe one day I will be Rich and Retired... that is coolk winner in Winner...what a neat story ! I hope you know them WELL, Deb. Show them your pictures.....they will fall over like the rest of us ! ☺
Hello everyone
hope all is well in eagle land
Hallelujah Hawaii T-Bird, hello to you too !!
is eagle land one word or two eagleland
one word looks right ??? : )
Hidey is giving us new behaviours every day ! What will we ever do when the nest is empty ????
hello magpie-how are you
I like One work, Thelma.
Hidey is showing off for you !
Paula noted some Hovering earlier, and now, I think this is a little bit of the same ! Maybe ?
Good Early Evening! I took a panda nap and I feel ready to roll again!
Hi Thelma, Margy, Mits, Sharon --
I bet Paula and Bob are on their way home from work now. Hello to all who are just reading and keeping up with things!
I would have sworn that was an adult eagle's wings BUT it was our Hidey high in the air!!!!!
WOW! What nest action!
She tore a stick loose on the nest. She is busy! I am glad you all are here. I don't like being by myself but, as Magpie said, as long as I have Hidey, I am never alone. Look at those wings. Huge.
Mema Jo
I can completely understand how ou would enjoy time with Jenny! She is a charmer from the word Go !
Oh, once this wingy and jumpy thing starts...it could be any day !
Can I call off work for this reason?
I thought Hidey was a goner!!!!!
I am well, Thelma...thank you !
Got a grandson fix last night, and now this beautiful Eagle Show, and time with friends....
We may not need to wait until one day next week - Hidey could be a goner by
this weekend
No-you can't call off work for that reason. Well, I guess you could but you might not like the consequences huh. : )
lol Jump!!
I wonder if she will use the normal launch pad or make a new one? She has been different on everything else.
I think she'll use the same launch pad.
T-Bird
I could say I have a Family Emergency.... !
At least if it happens this week-end we could get some videos from Paula and Deb !! Oh, yeah.
I will be working nights and sleeping days, but I can carve out a little time to watch...
You now, or I could say I have an Anniversary to celebrate: That of being a Momster for one year!
☺
Speaking of family, I need to email my brothers and sisters, be back in a little while, with the Hidey Tab open of course !
xo
Yeah, Magpie, you could use one of those excuses. : )
Wonder what the Perched Parents think of this...probably very proud of their kid !
Launch pad could be from 3:00 position.
That is the spot where the adults leave when flying out and not going up to their branch.
I think Lib and Belle are proud too. Did you notice Saturday how Belle would lean over and watch Hidey when she jumped around? Paula captured it.
Hidey is being very daring!
That loose stick (limb) could swat
her right out of there........
I know Mema Jo. I believe she would catch herself though.
I hope a parent takes care of that stick or she chooses a different spot.
I can't imagine her choosing a different spot.
What did I miss?
Food?
Chomping down!
Hey T-bird, you didn't answer your phone!
I didn't see a food drop. ??
I think that's fish nestovers from earlier....the launchpad is now the dinner table...
I hope Hidey doesn't go this weekend...I'll be at Mom's. No computer there :(
LOL, think the parent is up above?? PEEP PEEP PEEP
Hi to all of you. I had a great afternoon with GeeGee. Doctor told her that CT Scan showed NOTHING but a very bad case of arthritis and of course, she still has that fracture in her backbone from Osteoporosis. We were a bit concerned because my Grandmother had bladder cancer and we both had that on our minds. Doc said the arthritis is affecting the nerves that lead to her bladder and that could be what is giving her such discomfort. He suggests she have steroid shots in her back. Well, we've been there and done that! We may try it again, if she wants.
We went to Chinese Buffet for dinner and when I left, she was full and happy because we got her some new pain pills;)
A beautiful "Flower Watering" steady
rain shower here in the valley!
Got a little wet getting my hanging baskets out in it.
Hidey is testing the mic!
Hidey wants to get up on that limb with Mom & Dad!!
What? did dinner flop out of the nest ????
Hidey is at Lib's perch from last year.
I hear Hidey chirping.
WOWSIE! I wonder why!
Adult with FOOD.. Well maybe food ...
Adult flew out
Did Belle giveth and taketh away?
I got a very quick glimpse of something silvery and probably slippery.....
Wham ! Hidey was on it !
fofl...sharon...
I wonder what Hidey wants?
Paula - All of us will try our best to deter Hidey from leaving when you aren't here! We'll even bribe Hidey with some fresh fish (If I could throw so high and accurate :>) )
Deb said she was sticking around for the weekend and not going out for any fun! She should be here for any excitement that could take place - meaning specifically catching something on video!
It was fast folks.. Hidey had possession for about five seconds or less...then, all gone. He seemed so bereft. Adult took off, maybe scrounding at the bottom of the tree for it...but I kinda doubt it !
Swing and a Miss, Hidey !
Hi y'all. I've got friends and kids I know watching. Very cool to get others excited about the eaglet w/the cam(thanks Steve and USFWS).
I hope Hidey hangs around just a little bit longer :)
Have a great evening all. I'm going to ballroom dancing lessons with my husband - much fun!
MITS Get up off the floor before you hurt those ribs again..... (fofl)
Think he wants his missed opportunity T-Bird !
Wanda ! Sounds great, been waiting for that report. How about a chiropractor? Amazing what they can do with nerves that control everything with the body.
Hello Wanda-glad to hear the news about the cancer. Wish I coulda been there eating chinese with you. I love chinese-my favorite. Can't eat it with Sharon or Bev, they hate it!!
Adult back again
YUCK! Stringy!
Kinda looks like the same meal....
smudgy is interfering !
lol ADULT HAS CONTROL
WITH TALONS
Feed that kid!
Love it
Hidey is really upset. Trying to tell the parent she didn't get dinner.
Poor thing. Looks like a storm a brewing.
What a compassionate parent!
I hope the adult had eaten all s/he wanted before coming into the nest!
Would have been something to watch the adult go scrounging for the dropped fish - -
The adult is trying to fix that stick
How about that for a "Good Parent"
I don't know if that was a fly out or a Push Out! lol
Yeah, that was really nice, Mema....
True to tradition...was it Liberty or Belle ?
Oh, let me eat these leaves for a little roughage !
you can say that again magpie
Evening all. Today the mail person brought me a package and inside was the cutest seal. Soft and looks exactly like my avatar. Guess who it was from? Margy. Isn't she so special?
Whow...nice!
Wanted to let all you Eagle Freaks that we are still watching the little monster here in Elkins
Paula, Hidey is doing some hovering!
Hovercraft in the nest
Don't anyone leave yet...until that bird settles down...too much action ☺
That was a GOOD JUMP
Heart failure. Thought he was a goner.
And I love being an eagle freak!! :)
Now he needs some more height! Great moves today!
Howdy again becky and Bill!!
Hidey sure is fun to watch!
Does anyone have a DVR running from this cam
evening ceil and hi bill
POOP SHOOT!
I know magpie. Scary
The nest seems to be getting smaller and smaller
I thought Hidey was going over the edge! Was darned close!
Lots of good practice!
Not going to be long at all!
That was a very special gift for you Ceil! Of course, you are special!
Hi T-bird. Sorry we could not make it Saturday.
What a weird noise that was !!
Almost like a duck!
...seal, for Ceil...from my favorite shopping place....with already loved gifts. ☺
Did ya'll hear some high schools are banning hugging?
I haven't seen any Poop Shoots recently
They never ever take off without a good
Poop Shoot!
I wish Hidey would hunker (sp?) down!
NCTC is the only one who can truly DVR it..the rest of us (those that know how) can only tape the action as it occurs online.
Oh Mary Marg went back to her apartment today. She will be there a few days and then will probably start to drive a little. Thanks Jo.
Are we stuck on a stick?
Now stome Stick practice.
It looked like you folks enjoyed yourselves last Sat,wish we could have been there
Well, let's hope Hidey is constipated !!!!
That's great news on MM, Ceil.
And the seal sounds adorable. ♥
I'm sorry you couldn't make it too ceil. I also heard the noise. ?? Did you see her moving that stick with her talons?
Hidey is laying down now, just for you, Jo.
I wonder if Hidey gives HIMSELF Heart Failure !
Jo is right they always lighten the load before they take off.
Mits are you doing to much? Don't make me come down there.
Give the bird some apples and bananas to bind it.
Hidey is taking a break. Think I will. BBL
I've tried twice to put this message on. Ceil sorry you couldn't be there too. I sure did see that stick action too. NEAT What did you say that was called Paula?
Sorry you couldn't be there too Bill.
Margy, that State Flower card is AWESOME and it gave me goose bumps too!
I have a photo of the pin that I found...it doesn't fit the description that you gave...check it out, along with photos of my MYSTERY EAGLE on Just for Fun.
I'm having weird stuff happening with my messages.
I WISH HIDEY WOULD MOVE A TALON OR A WING......
I was in the kitchen and didn't see the 'flop down'.
Bill mark Oct 17 on your calendar when we all get together as a group for the Open House at NCTC
later ceil
that is amazing how she calmed down just for you jo (and all of us)
Ceil, we really did miss you sisters. Must see you in October...plan on it!
Helen, don't let the beautician mess up your 'streaks'. I love the way it looks. SUN KISSED:)
It was pouring here when I got home...then it stopped...now raining again...ooops there goes the tv...
There is our pistol packing momma! How are ya Wanda?
WOW! I saw Hidey's head moving...
I was looking at the wing up by the talon & thought a stick struck! Worry Worry Worry!
Wanda, righto, not mine...but our Eagle gift is so cute. Did you already told us who it is from ???
OPEN HOUSE is the BEST time to visit NCTC. That day and evening is almost as much fun as Disney World and not nearly as expensive;)
Ha Ha "Our" Eagle gift, what do you think of that ?
I mean YOUR Eagle gift....
What is what called, Tbird...
Margy - you mean that Wanda knows who put the Harley Eagle in the costume shop? Did I miss something?
all that singing and hopping sure does wear a baby eagle out!
Tbird, do you mean the hovering?
Sooo nice here even with the rain...could go walk in it!
hidey is just like a puppy-can lay any which way and be comfortable
Where are you at Paula?
Paula, when they move the stick with their talons. I thought you called it something.
Wanda posted a pic of her Harley Eagle on her just for fun blog.
Wanda - Just was looking at your blog. I wish to claim my Eagle Guardian pin. Just checked my tote bag and it is missing
Margy, I don't know where it came from. I thought maybe a customer might have brought it for me, but, then again, I don't think my customers know that I am an Eagle Freak;) Kinda scary. As for you pin, I will wait until Gene gets home and have him put the bedroom out and search for your pin. I'm afraid if I do it, the room might shoot right on out onto the driveway. LOL
no
Paula, I don't know. I feel like I'm babbling (sp.). : )
Tbird - I would call that playing!
Bill - I am in Emmitsburg, MD by night, Frederick, MD by day.
Bill, my Hubby is on a fishing trip in Elkins right now. How's the weather there...has it been raining?
T-Bird do you mean Nestorations?
OK, Wanda, you are talking about searching the eagle express...got it now.
Jo, finders keepers;)
Yah, Paula, that does sound funny if you didn't know I was talking of the Motor Home. LOL
No Mema... I was afraid I had missed something as I tend to do some speed reading of the posts from time to time. I guess it is still a mystery!
T-Bird You ain't babbling any more than the rest of us. It goes with the Eagle territory !
Wanda - Jo says that's her pin...
Jo, my Mystery Eagle is wearing your pin right now, and I am afraid to take it away from him. I'll wait until he roosts;)
ROFLMBO Paula and Wanda !! Too funny !
Mema Jo, I think it was nesoration but I've never seen them fly (hoover) with a stick.
Yeah,severe thunderstorm alert here till 10
So, how come some of us lost our Eagle Pins ?????
I think maybe my seatbelt of binoculars straps must have snagged my pin.....it WILL show up, I am confident....
Now calling for 45 mph wind and hail
So Jo and Margy both lost their pins? Which pin did you loose Margy?
A friend from Winner just called and I asked right away if they were the winner from Winner. Nope, darn, just called to see how I am doing and when I am going to CA. I guess everyone is talking about it and hoping it is a local person that won. A small town of 3,000, that is big news.
Paula, not sure if it is the same or not. Powerball is the game here. I think the other one is Meagbucks, or something.
Okay, worried surrogate parent here....why is Hidey so...still....
I'm waiting on the left talon to get where it belongs....
Maybe he is just Slam Wore Out !
Still strange things happening with my messages-it took forever for the last one to come up. I left and folded some towels before it came up. ??
I was afraid you would ask, Paula...my pewter one that you gave me when I became a Momster :(
Margy - which outfit was your eagle pin on - The day time one or the evening one? I remember seeing it..
WANDA It is ok for the pin to be on the Harley Eagle until I see you
again. I see Bill has a Harley avatar.
I think I saw his left wing move a little bit!!
What happened to the pop up cam?
Yah Bill, thanks I actually saw a wing stretch of sorts just as I was posting....
Mema I was wearing my play bibs....the old raggedy denim ones. Then I changed into shorts.
Daggone !
Hidey moves every once in awhile, you can miss it if you don't watch continuously.
Bill, they took the pop-off away as some people would open the cam in the morning and then not close it until late at night. They were using too much bandwidth.
He just moved his head...
Margy, did you check the washer and dryer?
I think I will go tear the car apart !
Thanks Deb, I didn't catch that about the pop up...that's too bad...I know some people really liked it ... like JO!
Margy...I'll have to see if I have any more...my stuff is still out in the car trunk.
Was that lightening?
Somebody e-mailed about it and found out. Sorry, I don't remember who it was, like Margy, I now have to speed read the blog to keep up.
Hope you find the eagle pin
I thought I saw it on the Black Dinner Bibs. Guess you really do need to check out the RV because of changing clothes.
Tony Tony Turn Around
Let Margy's eagle pin be found..
We are getting very close to the BWO hatching date!
All 3 NBG Rebels are in the nest.
Getting their flight feathers!
I know from lots of experience that St. Anthony is awesome at helping find lost stuff, and I ain't even Catholic. :)
Jo - Make sure you stay on Wanda's good side. She's a PJ wearing, Pistol Packing Momster. Should we call her PJWPPM?
Jo, I checked that BWO date today too. June 1st for the first egg.
Guess that wasn't lightening...looks brighter there now...
Time to get up Hidey
poop shoot!
Sidney - 1 preening & 2 napping
Hornby - The eaglet has "fowled" the camera lens again Wide View Only
Delta Wide - Adult deepening the egg well
Delta Close - Adult eagle & 1 of the chicks visible
Thanks for all the tips and the rhyme for me to find the pin, folks. And you are right on about Saint Anthony Sharon !
Noticed it was gone BEFORE I washed the bibs...both pairs.
Paula, not to worry - I bought one at the OPEN House...so I have a replacement, just not quite so sentimentally special.
Okay, it will be in Captain Eagle's hands now...or else I will do a walk through at NCTC and retrace all my steps. Hey, that's not a BAD IDEA ! ☺
Oh, thanks for the Poop Shoot alert, Paula...what a relief, sort of
This is the email from Chris about the Pop-Up cam:
Wanda:
We have temporarily taken down the pop up cam to see how it impacts bandwidth usage. The eagle cam has been very popular, but unfortunately, some users are leaving it up all day to run which adds quite a bit to the expense of the cam. While we are unable to identify people, we can see IP addresses that are using an extraordinary amount of bandwidth. So our concern is that they are popping up the cam and walking away from the computer with the cam still running.
We are looking at some other solutions to this issue and may be able to add back the pop-up shortly.
Chris
other solutions to this issue and may be able to add back the pop-up shortly.
Bob, you are hilarious !
ROGLMBO That was great Bob!
PJWPPM
And with all that she loves foxes !!
Thanks Wanda good info. I learned to close out the live feed on the LAST cam we were on and never got used to Pop Up anyway.
OH Brother - short energizing nap that was!
Wingersizes...
Was he dead to the world from trying to fly---
The pop up I like is one that will
stay on top of all other programs you bring up. We used to have that choice a year or so ago. I think it was with Windows Media Player program
foflmbao, bOB.
Jo, That would make her a FLPJPPWM
That was real player Jo...yup it was handy, and you could rewind it...but the quality this season is soooo much better!
Night Light coming on...
If any of us had anything else to do tonight, guess we are not exactly doing it..
Evening greetings, eagle lovers.
Caught up on blog. Haven't been able to get live cam up at all this afternoon/evening....sounds like Hidey is really putting on some displays.
Wanda, cute eagle....NO idea who did it????? (since Margy says it wasn't her!) Good report on GG.
And nice that MM is settled back into her own roost, but I bet she will miss Ceil's TLC!
Hidey flopped again...
Hey there Lynn. Hidey has been doing a lot of hovering since Paula posted it much earlier today.
You might need to give us instructions on what to do for fast heart rates on here !
Split is coming!!
phew...finally caught up on the posts:)
"Don't Watch" probably is not an option ☺
How are those baby robins doing?
Dear St. Anthony, please come down, there is something that is lost and cannot be found...Amen
