Hidey ain't gonna be drying out for long, more showers upon us...
THANKS STEVE for the WET THREAD!!
WHOA!---MAGPIE---I wondered where you were?----I'll check to see if the GAL from GEORGIA knows how to come over!!
Glad you folks found your way over.
I found a glorious patch of Wild Red Columbine here in Martinsburg this morning, right on schedule!
Put them up on my Wildflowers link.
Have to backtrack to catch up on all the news, but in the meantime,
Best Wishes for a Great Day to Everyone
☺
Steve, have you been at the University? I remember when I was 12 ( a l-o-n-g time ago!), my dad (State Department) had to go there for training of some sort for a month. Government must like the place!
Good gloomy morning, momsters/dadsters.
Actually saw some clear skies on the way home from work...what a big surprise! ☼
Wanda Maybe your columbines are up also...☺
Turkey Party at Pix Pa this morning
Hens and Showy Toms ♥ ♥

Pouring here now....
Pouring here, too, so I guess I drive to work this morning.

We could take a field trip to Finland, sun is shining nice there now. Scotland too, but it looks very breezy there.
Gobblers are really showing off in Pennyslvania, guess L♥ve is in the air there !
Deb thanks for the Kestrel nest site !
I'm about done, very sleepy, time for the pillows.
You all, enjoy yourselves today!
Prayers for Wellness, and Sunshine !

I think Hidey is hogging some sunshine though....for a brief little while ☼
MAGPIE---You always find the SUNSHINE!---What would we do without you!!----(are you doing research on mt top mining in WV?) -----
OH!--I always think that 'BIG BIRD' enjoys----'standing on the corner of the nest---watching all the birds fly by'----She knows she is gorgeous!!!---Thus all the preening!! ho!
BEHOLD!!----sunshine is peeking in between the trees!!!----(crossed fingers)
BWO--on nest---
BWE---LISA watched an EAGLET---mantling her food---She says that's a sign of maturity!!----(when our kids did that--didn't think it was a mature trait)---EAGLE are so fascinating!!!
I'M HERE!!
LOON is on nest --
CONGRATS!! GA-GIRL!---The SUN is attempting to shine!---ho!
I loved the pictures of the eagles on Paula blog yesterday. I have a question.. how far off the ground is the nest..(still worry about fall out)..sorry
MORNIN' HEDGIE!---I am trying to get dress & check blog at same time---have class this am!!---Where did did your DAD work?--I think it is interesting that he would go to WI too!
Well the sun was short-lived for sure!
Glad you made the trip GA girl!
Good morning all. Did not sleep well last night. The rain was so heavy and the lightening. This morning the sun almost came out. There is suppose to be a rocket set off from Wallops Island tonight between 8 and 11 if it clears. Paper said we might be able to see it.
Wow, Hidey is jammin' on her breakfast this morning!
sun is out. dont blink it will dissapear.......
Oops morning Steve. Have a good trip back. Morning Sissy, Norma, GAgirl Deb and all others on earlier and to come.

We are between rain drops at the moment.
Welcome Ga Girl ( :
Congrats Magpie, you are #1
Have a safe trip, Steve.
Morning, all! Another wet day! I agree with Hedgie...where's the ARk.
Cool! Hidey is holding down a fish....lol that's a fish piece, with his talons and eating it!
Norma, my dad worked for the State Department (downtown DC) at the Agency for International Development. Early in his career he was an attache' to the Embassy in New Delhi, India---we were there when I was 2.
Welcome GA girl. The nest is about 80 feet off the ground!
Good Morning All!
Still very Dreary outside - click this link and have a smile ((hugs))
THANKS PAULA, GOOD MORNING. The HI pair are adorable.......
Parent was with Hidey.

This would be a good Field Trip:

Wish I could say Hidey stay dry that is after you get dry. I don't think that will happen.
Be safe everyone
GOOD MORNING! Have been busy doing laundry, dishes, cleaning house, etc. Now time for a coffee break! Hope the rain lets up today for you guys. Wish we had some of it here! Hidey is certainly looking grown up this morning. (A bit soggy, too, poor girl!) Supposed to be hot here in SoCal again today. It was 82 yesterday. I think I need to move to Seattle or something. (Always have loved rainy weather!) Mema Jo, thanks for the dreariness buster! Well, the dryer's buzzing-- BBL. Have a great day with all that liquid sunshine, everyone, and take care!
:o)
Speaking of the turkeys at PIX PA....a friend said that his buddy saw a hen w/ a beard last week while he was hunting. Had never heard of that before...asked Bill and he said that it's not common, but also not rare!
Spread those wings, Hidey!
Yepper! We all saw that Hidey!
Good Girl!
Time for me to get some breakfast food!
BBILW
I finally got back on CAM 1 with Mei - It is a very busy site!
OK Now food.
Good morning to all my friends of fine feathers and fur!! RAINING in Bluefield again. Imagine that.
I had not even watched the PA falcons since she laid the first egg. Now there are all kinds of fur balls! And lots of feathers laying everywhere. I know where they can find a couple of good starlings! :)
Morning Sharon!
Liquid sunshine...hmmmm.
hey real sunshine at the nest...look quick!
Lib back with food...Hidey snagged it and is mantling in the middle of the nest! Lib just took off.
Hidey is really going at it.
Mei is still sleeping on her bed in the den
Hidey is doing a great job on that fish!! Yay!
And I do believe that fish is history!
Both Osprey at the Wild Watch nest.
SUNSHINE!!!!!! Wonder how long it will last!
Hornby chicks are chirping loudly.
Love to hear them.
NBG adult and eaglets are just as wet if not wetter then Hidey is right now!
The 2 RTH chicks are trying to 'sleep in' this am!
BBILW

Nest Update
05/07/09:
The parents at the Norfolk Eagle Cam had to chase away an intruding juvenile bald eagle at the nest. Photos are here and include several excellent shots of the confrontation.
As a reminder, we recently updated the Eagle Cam Web Log with a post about first flights.
check the site for photos
tried to do a tiny url, but site would not let me, so go to BWE and see all the pics of the confrontation
Hidey is finally up after his morning nap...looking nice with those dried feathers...getting a little preening in
My little hummer is out on the deck looking for my feeder (which I didn't put out yet - BAD ME )
Well I know what I need to do this afternoon!
Yes, you are a bad Mema, Jo!
Hidey is eating some leaves! LOL, not really
You better get that feeder out!
rain is just about finished here...going to go make mud pies....
maybe hidey is a vegetarian
feeding time at BWE
It looked to me as though Hidey were in trouble a few minutes ago... head was caught in a loop of twigs at edge of nest. Am I right? Thank goodness she's okay now!
Conn osprey cam is down again:(
Mary I fortunately didn't see that happen! Was eating lunch..
There are a lot of loose branches in the nest!
And Welcome!
Mema Jo and Paula Eagleholic....looks to me like Hidey is eating that paper???? I'm sneaking a peak at her while everyone is at lunch....gotta get back to work!! LOL
Sorry I wasn't here to greet you momsmiley! I wish the wind would blow it out of the nest! That would solve our concerns!
Hope the rest of your day goes fast for you!
lol Looking at Mei - could fall boom on her head! But moreso looking at the opening and remembering Tai trying to drag his little blue swimming pool into there! That was so much fun to watch!
Leaving for a few - need to get up off my computer chair and do something - Like I really don't know what it is going to be but I'll find something!
BBL
Lunch time here. I finally had the plumber out, my kitchen sink just wouldn't drain right, he had to go clear down the line to get it going again.
SUN,CLOUD SUN,CLOUD,SUN,CLOUD
I'M GETTING DIZZY HERE.
Jo loved your sunshine song. All three of us used to sing it to Maggie and dance. She loved it.
Hope Mei does have a little one. Field trip.
Hey Deb.
Well it is raining hard here and thundering.
I have sun here, now. I put out a hummingbird feeder, now sure if I will get any takers, but thought I would try it.
Hi, Ceil!
we are having sun and thunder here.
Mei Xiang is really fussy today
Have to go, bbl.
Good luck with the feeder Deb.
Sun seems to be out at the nest, Norfolk.
Hornby chicks in site. Dad in nest with them I think. Hammering is terrible. Think it is annoying them.
Mei is resting and Tai is eating bamboo outside.
Off to do some chores.
Might have been looking for crumbs on that paper...or taste testing? I did actually see leaves in his mouth, but he spit them out.
Mei is snacking on her beloved sweet potatoes
Tai is up a tree
I had a thought! Tai could be sent up into our Sycamore tree to wipe away the smudge! lol
He climbs so fast and so high - I just know he's our answer!
Still watching Panda cam - fruit cycles
BBL
Oh! Didn't know about the sweet potato!
Eggs in view at BWO - both osprey were just there
Osprey back and eggs covered up.
Hidey is up enjoying the breeze.
Mei is dragging a huge stalk of bamboo into the birthing den
Sunshine and blue sky here!!
Boy it's bright out there!
Big shopping center gas explosion in Forestville, MD---where Loretta lives---with 5 firefighters injured along with some evacuees and a gas company worker. Sure hope Loretta is at work and not out shopping!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...ER,AFTERNOON!
I'm not ignoring you all, just can't seem to get caught up on anything. Excercises, washing clothes and sleeping have gone to the wayside. Trying very hard to catch up while we are having all this rain. My grass must look like Bluefield Girl's Hay Field!
BWE cam is more slightly tilted to the left...either that, or the kids have been kicking those sticks off the left side of the nest...
Gotta surprise this afternoon....Bill called and said installers could do kitchen and bath carpet today...rushed my butt off trying to get everything out of the way....and they are working on it now. It will free me up for tomorrow for shopping trip w/ my youngest.
My grass looks atrocious...haven't been able to mow at all in the evenings cause of the rain.
Gene says, if Mei has a cub, Helen can borrow it and bring it to our Open House in October. They do loan out animals don't they, Helen?
Good shots of the Norfolk intrusion. Did you notice how many times the photos have been viewed already??
LOL Hidey is about blending in with the nest...look carefully!
I am waiting on the jerk neighbor to say something to me about my grass. It is really tall and growing inches a day. Hopefully, somebody grass cutting fairy will cut it this weekend while I am gone.
I did have to look twice before I saw Hidey. Really good camouflage!
Where are you headed, Sharon? To the new place Andrew is going to go to school?
No, Lynn, I am going to a spiritual retreat at Cedar Lakes in Ripley, WV. I go twice a year, May and October/November. It is so beautiful and peaceful and spiritual there! :)
Link to Mason's Recent Update Our candles are working!!!
Keep them burning!
tee-hee, Wanda, does Gene know a good lawyer, if I pull off that scheme?
I really should go with you Sharon!
It has been a rough year!
Hidey is eating a bird -
WOW Sharon
I think it is the starling!!!!
WHOO-HOOO ON THE STARLING! WAY TO GO!
Raining in Bluefield again. Neighbor just watered those trees again. He is such a dufus!
Hey sister what about my office.
Great pictures of the attack on NBG. Wish that they were not getting attacked again this year.
OMG, my heart cannot take this, Hidey!
Way too early to be standing on the daggone launch pad and flapping wings.
Almost blew the paper/plastic out of the nest but not quite.
MAN Looks like a "take off" practice!
forgot about that Ceil, we will just tell your boss, I was borrowing a relative;)
Look at her!
Got IT!
Sharon and Jo I feel the same way. Have a hard time watching that klutzy little bird.
Love it when it looks like she is
Tippy Toeing around the nest!
Whoops!
As large as Hidey looks I can remember all 3 in the nest about the same size last year doing all that dancing!
She really did a BIG jump!
Getting about time for me to head on out of here. I'll be back bright and early in the morning. Maybe the rain will change directions tonight. SEE YA!!!
Hopefully it will be early dinner soon or nap time = Can't take too much more of these shenanigans!
GA Girl - we do have some blue skies and sunshine now. But more rain coming I think. Have a good evening
I am thinking that we will never get used to the wing flapping and jumping on the nest and fears of falling out. Seems like it would get easier but it sure isn't yet!
Hi all! Finally home from the doctors. I left shortly after nine and I just got home! Grrr! Went from the doctors office to the hosp. for a chest x-ray and then the pharmacy to meds. I am now on strong antibiotics and codene for the cough. And, an inhaler! She said I was having bronchial spasms. Hmmmmm! Do not know the results of the x-rays yet but Carol said she "didn't like the sound" when she listened. Right now I just want to nap!
We know a good lawyer, Helen, but I don't think he would fight the Smithsonian Bueracracy. We'd have to get a public defender. But, who's gonna tell? Just don't get caught;)
Oh Lolly! We are all so glad to hear from you! You didn't wait a minute to late to get all fixed up with your meds!
Rest is for healing! Talk to you later.
Going to turn on the 4:00 news
Haven't had TV on all day - All I know is
that the SUNSHINE has returned to my
valley!
BBILW
Glad you saw the doctor and are on the mend, Lolly. Panda nap is a good thing!
Lolly, so glad I convinced you to go! Take those meds and get better fast! I know you have lots of yardwork you want to do, but just rest and stay in out of the pollen!
Family gathering in the nest!
Adult in the nest going to town preparing dinner! Defuring I think!
Thanks for the alert, Double E-W
Glad I was sleeping for all the heart attack action today!
Any idea what's for dinner, Sharon?
Goodness, latest chow, includes some plucked feathers ! Is that a new bird or the one from earlier ?
Oh Boy, guts... :(
I have no idea. I was hoping you knew Mema Jo. It is really big and a mammal.
Double E-S! not E-W ! sorry about that !
That little birdie is going to be gone in no time.
Couldn't tell if it was being defeathered or defurred!
That is ok, Magpie. Figured you were thinking of me as an EWWIEE! :)
Good to hear from Lollly !
A couple of days of napping and medicines, and she will be her 'ole talkative self again ! ☺
Megan
My flowers are finally getting some Full Sun ! Got any leftover mud pies? I need to pack lunch soon ! ☺
Ooh, wonder what they are munching on now..tasty!
Glad I dont live under that nest. What a cannon shot
On No, Sharon, not that, but a Double Eagle Woman! For Sure ! xoxox
Ricky, when we went in October (off-season for eaglets), Sissy took a picture of the poop shoots on the ground.
Ricky - Hidey really might be here until the first part of June. She needs to get rid of more down feathers! BUT
you're right - she is getting ready!!!
Mema !
I loved the You Are My Sunshine link from earlier! Nice way to wake up
time to find the Fairy, see you all in a little while
Hi Everyone ! ☺
Good save Magpie! :) You know I love ya even if you did think of me as an EEWWIEE!
What an absolutely beautiful Eagle...
maybe that is fur, not feathers....Yum !
Lolly hope the medicine makes you feel better soon.
Margy have a good night at work.
Hi everyone else.
Off to check on dinner.
Well, that is just gross!
Once while I was hunting I found the remnants of a rabbit spread over about two feet. Bones and hair and not much of it. And we only have hawks. It was a little scary. Never seen anything like that.
Hidey is really taking all this in!
Couldn't find her for a while - but she is right there beside the adult!
I'd say that is serious business in preparing that dinner! lol
We have hawks too. They use my bird feeders as their bait box sometimes. I try to run them off when I see them. I still have a couple of starlings they are welcome to though! :)
THAT LOOKS LIKE FUR FLYING NOT FEATHERS...SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS...HEADING OUT....
Keep hoping that it bumps its head on the camera lens and wipes off that darn drop of moisture.
Back to the pandas- Tai has made a mess in his den and is still eating!
Mei is still flaked out flat! Keeping an eye on her!
Mema jo- Could you give the name of the panda site. I would like to check it out. Thnks
That should be a soft nest to sleep in tonight, lined with fur!
Hold on one minute Ricky
I'm getting it for you
Link to Multiple Panda Cam Feeds This has DC's 2 cams, Memphis & San Diego. They refresh automatically.
Giant Pandas at the National Zoo DC
Atlanta GA Panda Cam (10am-5pm)
Ricky We are hoping that Mei at the DC zoo (2nd cam) is going to give us a cub! BUT
we won't know until we see it!!
Don't know what that is that Belle is feeding from, but looks kind of tough!! ☺☺☺
RICKY Here is the cam from Portland with the 2 Red Tail Hawk Chicks...
Red Tail Hawk Cam (on a fire escape)
I am leaving for a few hours
Enjoy
BBL
Hey to all the eagle buddies! I didn't get to talk to everyone yesterday because we had to go to the grocery store and we had to eat out and I was gone most of the day. Missed watching the cams and talking to all. Anything new going on with Hidey?
Evening Everyone ( :
Back from several drs and then a long nap.
Nice picture of our nest. Still no sound here.
Carpet installation almost done....then I'll have the chore of putting everything back where it belongs!
Bibee, Hidey has been doing some wing-flapping today and giving us heart attacks. Belle is defurring something and feeding it to Hidey.
Good Evening Everyone...hope it's a good one.
Friday, - wear some Red for the Military, in honor of their continued service to our country and all of us....
Got some on myself now since I will be at work through tomorrow morning !
xoxo ☺ ♥
I am home from work, need to eat and then I am heading out to Sioux City.
Lynn, how exciting to get new carpet! Lolly, glad you are home and resting and that you got meds to help you get better.
I missed why we need a lawyer, have to read and see what I missed!
Deb, we are going to need the lawyer when Helen kidnaps the new panda cub that we hope we are going to have.
