duck dinner at delta now

Mits said...

hmmm sounds like something I could uses here.

Mits said...

gonna take a long time to eat that duck

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Did we make it through the split?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Glad I ain't watching that nest!

Stevie from Kentucky said...

Mits,
Yup! It is the Shark steam mop for hardwood and laminate floors. I have laminate floors and it really does a great job for those in-between thorough cleanings. You just use tap water and it steam cleans ur floor!

Stevie from Kentucky said...

Mits where are you from up north?

Stevie from Kentucky said...

How do I get on that Delta web cam? Sounds interesting

T-Bird said...

hello everyone

T-Bird said...

how are my fine eagle friends?

Mits said...

Stevie I live in Bethesda, Maryland suburb of Washington DC. I am at our beach condo this weekend at Ocean City, Maryland

Mits said...

hello Thelma:)

Lynne2 said...

Oh Yeah, the Delta 1 nest cam is lovely, a veritable smorgasbord of dead wildlife. There was a fish, a duck and just a few minutes ago the mom/dad was carrying some sort of large rat looking thing. Ahhhh, nature is so beautiful!
Stevie you can go to hancockwildlife.org and click on the camera link, I am mostly watching the 2 views of the Delta 1 nest. I wish I had seen Hidey at that age! Those babies are LITTLE!

Mits said...

I off to do grocery shopping ..later...

T-Bird said...

later MITS

Yea there Thelma ( : How the weather your way? Hear you are coming up here?

wvgal_dana said...

Lynne2 I had it up not the close up couldn't make out a duck. Now have both up close and other. Still can't find a duck in that nest. Something in middle near bottom of screen. Is that a turtle shell?

magpie said...

Hi Evening Eagle Pals...

and off I go to prepare to leave for work...

Going to try to pack me a Roast Beast Sandwich, or maybe an Apple Samich! Deb is right, we talk too much! But it sure is fun to read all the news that's fit to print!

Hope this evening is a very good for everyone, and my usual continued Wishes that Wellness Swells, and Comfort Abides

TTFN xoxoxo (Hi T and Buddy !)

T-Bird said...

Hello Dana, the weather is perfect here. Warm, not too hot or humid. Later Magpie, hope you make a good work day.

wvgal_dana said...

Have a good evening Margy hope enough to keep you busy. Yet nothing real serious.

wvgal_dana said...

Listen to that chick telling parent about moving around on it. lol

Lynne2 said...

Dana, the duck was, in the close up, on the parent eagles right side and you could see the wing there bent around, but I don't see it now. Maybe it fell out! I think the thing in front is a fish, he was tearing chunks off for the babies a while ago before he stopped and picke up the rat looking thing!

wvgal_dana said...

Keep the comments flowing. Let me know what is going on in Delta 1. I have to go prepare food. It's that time again. The bell tolls.

Lynne2 said...

I'm off to fix supper for me and Steve....be back later! See ya Magpie!

T-Bird said...

later Lynn and Dana-I hope dinner is good

Costume Lady said...

Had a busy afternoon (appointments with GeeGee). I have to pass this email along to you all. Lolly has sent me a photo of her to put in a Wine glass or bottle...It is her NEW SELF...she is AWESOME!! You will have to come to dinner to see it:):)

Mema Jo said...

Lori
When you return from the Dentist and are back on the blog -
Check out your Junk Mail for my message of directions to NCTC and let me know you received them Thanks

paula eagleholic said...

Evening, all~

Looks like they got some of the cam page fixed....still missing the pop up cam

Hidey at 2

T-Bird said...

good evening paula

paula eagleholic said...

Incoming!! Hidey alerted!

T-Bird said...

you brought a parent in paula

T-Bird said...

poof-gone

paula eagleholic said...

Empty talons....pissed eaglet!

Wondering where dinner is!

Eagle up the back...

paula eagleholic said...

Hope we get to see that on Saturday!

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey still peeping at Parent!

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Tbird!

Lots of flapping and hopping

paula eagleholic said...

And another poop shoot...see Dad, I have plenty of room for more fish!

paula eagleholic said...

The Delta nest is an old hawk's nest, that's why it's so little...plus, part of it fell off last year and the eagles didn't do any nestorations this year!

paula eagleholic said...

One eaglet fell out of it last year, but he was OK...fell out around 9-10 weeks, they found him and kept him a couple of weeks (he was underweight cause big sis was snatching all the goodies), then he was released...his name was Delta Dan

paula eagleholic said...

Gotta go feed the dogs, they are hungry...bbialw

T-Bird said...

later paula

wvgal_dana said...

There are 2 recordings on the Hancock Forum. 1 is where the duck is brought to the nest. The 2nd
one is where the duck in the nest almost gets away several times.

Try this

GO TO May 21, 09 12:41pm person put recordings on is BET

Mema Jo said...

Whoops! Just signed on and What is that Hidey doing! Nestorations or
what!

T-Bird said...

I think she's trying to find some grub Mema Jo.

T-Bird said...

I think it's funny when she's trying to do some nestoration and she's standing on the stick.

Mema Jo said...

Hidey was trying to drag that large stick across the nest. Really pulling at it!

Over at 3:00 position now.

Mema Jo said...

Really looked determined didn't she!

T-Bird said...

she sure did

T-Bird said...

she's going to get it right

Mema Jo said...

I hope our Sat weather is about the same as it has been for the past few days! It has been gorgeous!

Mema Jo said...

Looks like Hidey is going to settle down for now.

Stevie from Kentucky said...

Parent alert!

Stevie from Kentucky said...

Came then left!

Mema Jo said...

I was viewing other cams
I do believe that the parent did a food drop for Hidey!
Late evening meal!

T-Bird said...

yeah, Hidey is working on a fish

floralgirl said...

Cool! dinnertime here too.... burgers are on the grill.

T-Bird said...

well gang i hope you all have a good night-don't let the bed bugs bite

hedgie said...

Good evening all! Not sure, but sounds like Margy is dealing w/ a snake at work!! Called for animal control to come....
Long day, and I am sleepy. Missed you all and the conversations were great!! So nice to see our newbies so active!

Got my new glasses---no problem with getting used to them---very little change, but nice to have new frames after 4 yrs.! Had lunch w/ friend at hospital and then helped her in her employee-health job the rest of the day.

The lady who came last June and talked with us at the Clarion was one of the Yankauer Preserve people...but that's all I remember. And remember Dianne had just had hand surgery and was quite uncomfortable...they had driven up from Fairfax but wouldn't come into the Eagle Express!

hedgie said...

Cool....I'm back and everyone disappears....boohoo...:(

Costume Lady said...

Sorry, Lynn, we are watching SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. Pretty corny right now. It will get better later. SNAKE?????

Costume Lady said...

Seems like the visitor who never was, was named Lynn?? I felt used by her...her only purpose was to get on her soap box. She was not interested in us our OUR CAUSE!

Mema Jo said...

Hi Hedgie! I am here - I was playing some card games since Hidey decided to lie down for bedtime!

Megan One thread back when you came in at lunch time and grabbed a sandwich to eat outside while you worked.... What kind of roast was it Mits & I picked up on what you said! CLARIFY PLEASE!

Mema Jo said...

Hi Wanda Menu for Sat lunch sounds sooooo good! I promise not to bring anything and I know that makes you happy!

hedgie said...

You may very well be right, Wanda....that does ring a bell! Our cause is jsut as important as hers....we just aren't political about it!! Taping SYTYCD......think my eyelids would droop if I tried to watch.
Just found....finally after waiting for months it seems for a catalog to come...new pet grave markers...the old ones are barely readable. So going to order online and hope they get here soon!

Stevie from Kentucky said...

What is that noise?? Intruder? Parent? I heard it last night.

Stevie from Kentucky said...

It had Hidey's attention!

floralgirl said...

roast beast...

Costume Lady said...

Jo, I do hope you all like our little BBQ lunch. It will be made with a lot of LOVE:)

Lynne2 said...

Hi Hedgie! Just stopped back to check on Hidey who is resting so comfortably at the moment! Don't know how far back you read, but I had a snake problem too, as in, it ate the baby bluebirds in the nestbox out front. Found it in there this morning. Packed him up and took him far away and let him go. Glad you like your new glasses!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I know it won't be but even if the food were crappy, the fellowship will be the best.

Costume Lady said...

Should I go to 911 headquarters and give Margy one of my sticky traps for the snake?;) Bless her heart, she does have a time.

Lynne2 said...

Dana, thanks for the link for the recordings on delta 1. I just looked in on them, too and it was duck for dinner part 2, and they have redecorated the nest with the feathers!

hedgie said...

Yep, Lynne, saw about your poor baby birds. All of the talk about snakes the last couple of days has been a jinx, I guess....if I understood right, the snake that Margy was talking about was outside the door of the 911 Center.
I have two snake stories but they would take too much space here to tell...they are old news, but even after 23 and 16 years, they are very vivid in my mind!

hedgie said...

Shar----Wanda's food would never be crappy....just hope she just have a snake or a Snappy find a way into the crock pot!!

paula eagleholic said...

I know what roast beast is :)

Mema Jo said...

I hope it was tender, Megan.
Mine came out of the crock pot and was plain old Beef! It was very good.


Didn't have sound turned on so don't know what you heard... Was it the barking of a dog - next door neighbor has dogs and there is a road for traffic near by. Sometimes we hear a motorcycle.

BTW - Sun. when I went to the nest I almost Blew my Car Horn so that you knew I was there! That would have been a BIG NO NO - BAD JO Thing to do.

paula eagleholic said...

Same thing we used to call it!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Roasted beast is the best!! I know Wanda's food would never be crappy! :)

Mema Jo said...

Both Finland Water & Land are up -
Bright eyes and feathered tails!

So tell me what is the BEAST ROAST ?

hedgie said...

Yes, Dana, thanks for leading us to the pics of the poor duck!
Are you and Ed still coming Sat.??? Hope so....your name tag is already made!!! CAN'T back out now!

Costume Lady said...

Oh, yes, I forgot...how about some Turtle Soup? NOTA!

Lynne2 said...

Wow at Delta 1, the second adult came flying in with another rat looking thing and gave it to the one on the nest who proceeded to swallow it whole. It was facinating, in that Nature Can Sometimes Be Gross sort of way!

paula eagleholic said...

A little toot would be OK...remember we did that last year...no noisier than other stuff we have heard...

Mema Jo said...

One eaglet in the BWE nest for the night, I guess.

paula eagleholic said...

BEAST ROAST = ROAST BEAST

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Lib and Belle will supply the turtle for us.

Roasted beast is what they had in Whoville! How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

paula eagleholic said...

BEAST ROAST = ROAST BEEF!

paula eagleholic said...

Ya gonna climb into the nest to retrieve it, Sharon?

paula eagleholic said...

I know Jo wouldn't mind if you did...she wants that shell!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I would be happy to oblige. I will also take some Windex to clean the cam off! And maybe some Lysol Spray!

Lolly said...

Hi all! Jack and I just came in from dinner on the patio.

You all better toot...or laugh a lot! I want to hear you!!! Surely you can be as loud as the kids on the playground!

Lynne2 said...

Bear at Snowman Cam!

Costume Lady said...

Paula...bring your dogs. Maybe they will retrieve a turtle shell for Jo:)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Let's see -- car horn -- shotgun -- car horn -- shotgun. I am thinking a car horn would be less stressful to the eagles!

hedgie said...

Mits....that had to have been a bit disconcerting seeing swomeone on your balcony! Sure hope you weren't doing your housework in the buff!!! :)

paula eagleholic said...

Kewl, haven't seen the bear lately...

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, don't forget the windex...and give Spidey a swipe, too.

Lolly said...

Ok, now I have picture in my mind of Mits clean house. Maybe she was in her bikini!

Lolly said...

Definitly windex!

hedgie said...

EXACTLY what I was thinking, Sharon!! Gunshots were the worst thing we've heard there....argh!
Paula, can you get a wifi signal at NCTC? Bring laptop so Lolly can tell us if she needs us to laugh louder!!!

Mema Jo said...

Mits left T-Bird and me on the blog to go grocery shopping earlier.
She very well could be out on the balcony in the Ocean breeze - you know she wanted to see her 1st dolphin!

Mema Jo said...

I'll take any turtle shell from the nest tree - I would never fool with Snappy!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And with her being the dolphin whisperer, I am sure she will! :)

I am going to have my laptop but I don't think there is a signal there but we can certainly try.

Lolly said...

You are meeting at 10:00 at the parking log, right? So you will get to the nest around 10:15. My time that is 9:15, so I will be sure to be on at that time.

Lolly said...

Parking lot!!!!!!!!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I saw that Lolly but wasn't going to correct you. I would have a blast proofreading these days! :)

Lolly said...

I watched the video of the duck at Delta. Wish I hadn't. Poor duck!

Lolly said...

You are so kind, Sharon! The keyboard on this lap top is killing me. You would not believe the errors I make and correct.

hedgie said...

Forgot to tell you that I got an email from Andrea--MsBookworm--this am...she couldn't get on the blog or get the cam up....she feared that we had censored her! Assured her that was certainly NOT the case! Don't think Jim has been on, either. Just heard that there was another aftershock out there during some of the AI pre-show taping....wonder if there was some damage to internet services or something...??

hedgie said...

Me, too, Lolly....and keyboard is so small that I keep hitting the escape key instead of the exclamation mark and end up erasing what I've typed...makes me so mad! And can't make any of our little symbols because there's no seperate number pad!

Lolly said...

Right Lynne! I do not have the number pad as well. Have to go to my computer if I want to do that and I like sitting here in my chair. LOL Gotta get Jack to take my picture sitting here. Ahhh, the lap iof luxury!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Now, on my laptop, there is a key that says FN in blue letters. There are also blue numbers on the keys, like m is 0, J is 1, K is 2, and so on. Do you all see those?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

If I hit the FN button, then ALT and 1 I get ☺!!

Lynne2 said...

CLOSE UP of bear! I'm gonna hit the rack now, have a good night, and I sure wish I could work it out to be there on Saturday with you all!

Costume Lady said...

Lolly, I have a copy of your photo sitting here beside me, ready to take to dinner and put in a wine bottle! You look WONDERFUL! Won't let anyone see you til dinner time:)

Costume Lady said...

Nite, Lynne2...maybe next time:)

Would someone notify that the Pop Up Cam for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Eagle Cam is not functioning.
When I go to 'Report a Problem' - their security codes to type are NOT readable by me! I got about 4 of them incorrect - so I gave up. I do miss the pop up. I guess Steve will be in next week if not tomorrow.

Costume Lady said...

I can send an email to Chris.

Mema Jo said...

Well I hope that when Deb gets home and when Mits comes in from the balcony, they will say Good Night!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

It is not just you, Mema Jo. It won't take mine either. I even did the sound so they could read me the letters and it didn't work.

Mema Jo said...

Oh yes! It is Thursday night - Mits has family with her now!
Good Night Mits
No need to come on
You may be putting M or M to bed!
((hugs))

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Wanda - that may do it!
Thanks Sharon - I thought I was getting really feeble! I tried sight and sound!!

deb said...

I will say Hi, before I say good night. I am all caught up again with you windy bloggers!! :) I have to finish getting the garbage out.

(almost signed my name, must think I am in e-mail)

Lolly said...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh Sharon! Yes, I have the Fn button! Yes! I can now do happy faces, etc!
☺☺☺☺☺☺

Live and learn!!!!!!!
Thank you!

Lolly said...

Lynn, bet you have the Fn button as well. On my keyboard it is on the bottom row, left side, next to the Ctrl button. You hold it down as well as thee ALT and press J which also has a 1. Wahoo!☺

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Very good!! ☺☺☺

Lolly said...

Wonder what else is on here that I do not know about. Duh!

Lolly said...

Wanda, you are so kind! I am just having so much fun digging in the closet to see what I can wear.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feathers and fur! See ya in the morning and see ya for real on Saturday!! YEAH!!

hedgie said...

Cool Sharon...I've got those here goes.....nope....doesn't work....it sends me to Windows screen that says preparing to stand by and then screen goes black....had to hit power button to get it back.

Mema Jo said...

Deb is Home!

NatureNut said...

Good Evening Everyone! Came to say goodnight to those hitting the hay.
I'm still standing (sitting)Hemming up one new pair of white pants & then I can pack them & everything else!!!!Found out about a lotta things you can't take thru Security---like bottle of water!!AARRGGHH However, you can buy things later & take them on board.
No Gel insoles or creams w/glycerin unless they're bagged.I'll try hard not to crack any punch lines for fear of getting locked up. They seem to have NO sense of humor! LOL
Will surely miss going to the nest, seeing everyone & meeting some of the new folks.
Put some new pics on blog this AM--
gotta finish some stuff. ☺☺☺

hedgie said...

Well, tried some other keys and it threw me off the blog! Humph....stupid Windows or stupid Dell!

hedgie said...

250,000 flags planted at Arlington National cemetery today.....as every Memorial Day weekend. So pretty.

hedgie said...

Lowreeta.....is Sat. your big day? Is daughter coming in to DC tomorrow? Is your flight direct or are you going to have to change and where? We will miss you Sat. and everyday you're gone! When do you come back??? Know you are going to have a wonderful trip! Is Frank going, too??

Lolly said...

Nite Jo and Wanda! Loreeda....hope you have one fantastic time. We were scheduled to go to a Greek Isle a few years ago, but I got scared and refused to go. WAR! And it was very close. Then they tried to tell us there would be good security and I thought....I don't want to go and be secured iside the hotel!!

hedgie said...

Didn't realize that Mits' family was coming tonight. Bet she's having fun!

Lolly said...

You know she is with the grandkids there!

NatureNut said...

Lynn & Lolly, Daughter just got back home to TX this afternoon from Micro Convention in Phila. She was doing laundry & has to take a report to work tomorrow! They will meet me at JFK in NY. Frank is staying home w/kitties. Don't think he would want tto travel anyway----(bummer!!!).
Lolly, will your submarine be gliding up the Potomac, or perhaps in Aegean? LOL

NatureNut said...

Gotta finish sewing----BBL probably--Duh! ☺

Mits said...

hello, family doesn't not come till tomorrow night....had to go to store to replace a lot of stuff. took 3 trips from car to condo, ate some dinner, watched some TV, still have not unpacked yet, and I'm getting tired....so goodnight everyone:)...ttyt

hedgie said...

Goodnight Mits, Lolly, Loretta....sleep well. TOmorrow will be busy for many, but it's supposed to be another loverly day around here....hoping it holds for Sat., even tho' you three--among others--won't be with us...boo...sure will miss y'all.
Deb, glad you are settled in...hope you are doing okay...hugs and prayers.
Night-night, sweet fowl friends.

Lolly said...

Lolly said...

Okay, time for me to go bathe and get ready for bed. I am falling asleep sitting here.

Good night all!

Sweet dreams!☺

deb said...

Jim

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, movin' Jim, here I am too, finally! Don't know what was wrong with the blog, but it's taken me half the night to finally get caught up, now that I'm back on! Have you been having trouble too?

Ms Bookworm said...

Hidey sure looks comfy tonight-- glad the rascal isn't on the EDGE of the nest! Have an interesting thing happening in my yard-- there's a Mourning Cloak butterfly that's been here every day all week, and it's almost figured out how to eat out of the hummingbird feeder! The crazy thing was trying to land on a house finch's back, too! Go figure....

Ms Bookworm said...

Wow, just realized it's after 10:30 pm here, and I was hoping to get to bed earlier than usual. Guess I'll talk to you guys in the morning. Prayers for all, and G'night! :o]

Lori O. said...

Good morning Hidey! You look so cozy.

Just wanted to check in on you and say that I'm looking forward to seeing you and all my new friends tomorrow at your house/nest.

Sweet dreams, baby.

Stevie from Kentucky said...

Hidey is peacefully sleeping!

Lori O. said...

Where is Hidey? Checking on her and I can't see her... though it's dark she's usually in the same space.

Maybe she's up early like yesterday, just hanging out on the outter edge of the nest near the camera where she is difficult to see.

Hideyyyyyyyyyyyy. Where are you?

Lori O. said...

I found her!

She's standing on the edge of the nest (yes, it's pitch black out). She's near the "launch pad."

I'm telling you she is escited about our visit & just can't sleep.

We can't wait to see YOU Hidey love.

Lori O. said...

Hidey is waiting on her breakfast, but the triplets are already eating at Duke Farms:
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/eagle-cam

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning Lori! Just 1 more day!

Lori O. said...

Good morning Sharon - I know. One more day. I'm soooo excited. Hidey has been up since 5 hanging out on the edge of the next.

You know I can't stay until 5, probably only 3 tomorrow cause I can't find someone to feed the dogs and my navigator has another event. Will that be okay?

Think I'll write to Jo and see if we can follow her from Middletown.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

That will be fine Lori. Just wish you could stay and have dinner with us!

Lori O. said...

me too, but I'm hoping we'll have more get togethers this summer!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Early Birds Ms.Bookworm and Lori. Welcome to Eagleland. Good Eagle Morning Sharon.

We are #3 on Beakspeak Yesterday and for Last 7 Days we are #2...( :
