Tuesday

Fresh thread. I'm in Madison Wisconsin this week.

We are wondering how many schools are watching the cam. If you are a teacher who uses the cam in your class, please send me a quick email at the address listed in my profile.

Hi, Glo! How have you been????

glo said...

Hi Hedgie. I've been OK. just not too motivated these days I guess. Glad to see lots of new bloggers that is a very good thing. I hope Steve hears form several teachers. All we ever really needed was a dependable cam we alreayd had an aweosme pair to show off. It seems to have happened. That is wonderful

How have you been?

wvgal_dana said...

Glo nice seeing you stop in. You getting wet up there?

glo said...

We will get wet later tonight. Did nothign but rain all last week and lots of showers in the forecast now for day again. Farmers having a lot of trouble getting into the fields. I did have like 3 days to do some yard work which needed to happen very badly.

glo said...

well hoping the plans and turn out at the nest over Memorial Day weekend is an awesome time for all.

Belle in the nest

Mits said...

ha, sitting in the nest bowl

Mema Jo said...

Hi Glo! Hope all is going well for you and Dex. Iris says she may be able to come to the Nest Visit! Will be good to see her!


Looks like Hidey wants some company in the nest tonight! I thought she was going to try to dig in under for protection! I guess she is saying - Enough is enough!

Mits said...

poop shoot

Mema Jo said...

Wild Watch - still 5 beautiful bluebird eggs in the nest. Momma is off of them now. Wish they were in color!

Osprey in her nest..

Still No Video for LW Eagles.

Watching the MN Loon!

Costume Lady said...

Hi Glo, we are working on the NEST VISIT. As you know, we always have a great time. So happy to have Iris coming this time! Haven't seen her in a while. Having the get together a little early this year because our HIDEY is so well developed and strong that we are afraid if we wait til June, she/he may have already fledged. Hoping to see you again one of these visits!

Costume Lady said...

Jo, love spaghetti and 4 year olds!:)

Costume Lady said...

Raining again...oh no! Our garden is like a Rice Paddy.
How about yours, Megan?

Mema Jo said...

Wanda - Watch out for the Wild Rice may start to grow!
Our 4 yr old is a meatball lover at heart
She cleans up her plate - that's for sure
Then of course it is ice cream before leaving to go home!
I guess she'll always hold these memories of Mema's house!

Costume Lady said...

Yes she will, Jo. Some of my grandchildren's fondest memories is ice cream and story time when visiting Nan Naw:)

Costume Lady said...

Jo, did you see Loretta's pictures of the Wild Rice...I guess from last year. Interesting. I didn't even know that there was such a thing in our area. Sooo much to learn:)

Costume Lady said...

Yes, this is Tuesday...TV night. See you later.

Mema Jo said...

Headed into TV NCIS - Mentalist - Without a Trace! WHOO HOO!

NCIS is continued but I think I have it figured out already.
The others best better NOT be continued!

BBL or Inbetween with the commercials!

floralgirl said...

Heavy rain here again and more coming behind it...to be continued....

hedgie said...

I'm doing good, Glo. Getting lots of outdoor tasks accomplished inbetween rain drops...a lot of little fix-it-jobs--many hired out...getting ready for mid-June visit and celebration here w/ mom and sis for mom's 90th birthday bash (they live outside St. Louis).

hedgie said...

3 birds having a singing contest in the rain...very loud and melodious...and then the robin started chasing the swallow!

hedgie said...

Glo, when do you get the results of your new photo contest?

deb said...

Adult in our nest.

Mema Jo said...

New show starting -
Made it through NCIS with a half-baked conclusion but the theme is still going to be there next week.
Now for my mentalist show......

BBL

Mits said...

NCIS was good;)

Mits said...

good grief, Mei Xiang is in a weird position

Bibee said...

Hey out there in Eagleland! Just checking in tonight. Happy Birthday to Bob! Welcome to all the new ones. How has Hidey been today? Hope everyone is feeling better.

ceil said...

Parent in nest with Hidey. Parents eyes are glowing and so are Hidey's
Nice picture
Helen saw what you meant about Mei

ceil said...

Bibee Hidey has been good today. He/she is still awake.

ceil said...

Going to call it a day.
Pleasant dreams to all.

Mits said...

night Ceil:)

hedgie said...

Glad to see that Hidey is not alone for the night! (So far!)

hedgie said...

Night, Ceil. "See" you tomorrow!!

ceil said...

Still raining at the nest.
Night Lynn and Mits

Bibee said...

I lit a candle for Mason. That was very touching. I will remember him in my prayers as I also remember all my eagle buddies.
To all newbies, this is a special group of people here. I feel very blessed to have discovered them.

Mits said...

we are glad you are here, BiBee:)

Bibee said...

Sure is hard to see Hidey right now.

Mits said...

yes it is.

Bibee said...

Okay, I need help again. How do I get my own pictures on here? I used to do a lot better with computers when I was teaching and I kept up to date on all the computer classes but I have forgotten how to do everything. I really have forgotten a lot of things since this illness hit me. Thanks for the help.

Mits said...

someone will help you, Bibee

hedgie said...

Wondering if Candy is too busy "stocking" her new computer with favs that she forgot us?? LOL!
And Lollie, please let us know how you are feeling!!

hedgie said...

Bibee, through your profile page you have to set up your blog. Use Google help for complete instructions. It took me a little while to figure it all out, but after you've done it once, it's easy!!

deb said...

Upload pictures

deb said...

The directions on how to upload pictures are on at that link.


BEAR is at Snowman cam!

Bibee said...

Thanks for helping me Deb. I appreciate it. I feel so dumb sometimes when I can't remember how to use the computer. I had tons of classes, I have a masters plus 60 hours, but I think I also have dementia(sopelling)?

Mema Jo said...

Deb - You could almost set your watch each evening by the bear's appearance!
Strange!

deb said...

I sure was a bum tonight. I am wiped for some reason, so off to bed to read. Lil' Kim gone from Dancing, too bad, I liked her and she was a much better dancer than Ty.

deb said...

Bebee, we all have what we call the CRS syndrome around here!

Jo, wouldn't it be something if the bear would have cubs sometime! (or maybe its mate)

NatureNut said...

Wow, I tuned in just in time to see "Da Bear"!!

Been trying to fix blurry pics-duh. May have to put a couple on here anyway, just to show our PRP osprey has an egg.Will get them on sometime--hopefully so they can be seen in the AM!

Mema Jo said...

Checked out both Finney sites - incubating osprey is at those nests.

Finney Land comment:
3.5.2009 First egg. During start of the season male mated with three different females.

Mema Jo said...

We'll need to look up some Bear Cams - I'm sure there out there.. I know of the Grizzly one - have not gone there in some time. I saw a lost little cub on TV tonight (not sure where) down in the town heading for the garbage bins!

Bibee said...

I can't find the Finney water nest. I have the land nest on my favorites.

Mema Jo said...

Coming at you
Give me a minute

Mema Jo said...


Link to Finney Water (also look for the Ferry way out beyond the islands)

deb said...

I am getting to be like Margy, this time I am really leaving. Night everyone!

Mema Jo said...

Looked at Mei - all snuggled up in that corner. Mits - do you think if and when the time would come that she would go down into the birthing den?

Mema Jo said...

Good Night Deb! Read yourself to sleep

Mits said...

yes, I do, Jo

Mema Jo said...

The clock has tolled for me for the day.
Lolly I pray you are on meds and getting better! Mits I pray you had a half decent "pain free at times" day!

Good Night All
Peace to you and yours
Prayers for everyone being offered
(((hugs))) ♥

Bibee said...

Good night everyone! Thanks for all the help tonight. Sweet Dreams!

Mema Jo said...

Good to know, Mits - didn't want anyone going through the den looking for a noisy stick of butter Nite

Mits said...

lol.....they sure would hear it before they see it, they maybe small, but they are really loud

Mits said...

update on BWO....

Nest Update

05/05/09:
Our three eggs were laid on April 24, 27, and 30. Hatching should start around the beginning of June.

We'll open the Osprey Cam Web Log toward the end of the week.

hedgie said...

Goodnight all. Hope everyone has a restful and comfortable night with healing where needed. Prayers for all.

Mits said...

good night everyone.

wvgal_dana said...

Night all take care and have a good sleep.

AOYP=Angels On Your Pillows...ALL IN EAGLELAND.

Mema Jo said...

Paula - you can turn out the lights!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good night everyone. Went to a East River Mountain Town Band concert tonight. Only 2 more of those before Andrew leaves me! :(

Mits said...

was wondering why you were up so late, Sharon

Carol said...

Hi all, I've been scarce due to stressful end of semester work pile-up. Have been missing Hidey... So, it seems that adult is keeping late hours (11:30 pm) as he/she is just standing guard over Hidey.

Costume Lady said...

Hi, Carol...have you been having a lot of rain in N.J.?

Costume Lady said...

I'm not sure how much rain we have had here, but I know it will be June before we can get into our garden!

Costume Lady said...

I think everyone has turned in for the night, so I guess I will too.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL

paula eagleholic said...

Hey all, busy evening, lot of time on the phone. Can you believe Ty made it thru and Lil Kim was voted off DWTS??

paula eagleholic said...

And yes, Jo, I'll turn out the lights...unless Jim comes on, then he can turn them back on and then off.

Gnite all
Hugs to all ♥

paula eagleholic said...

And for the owl fans amongst us

Barred owl nest cam

paula eagleholic said...

Oops, forgot this info...link from Rob Bierregaard (the UNC osprey tracking guy)

Finally! We're streaming live from our nest box over in Eastover. Better get on line soon, as the young are looking at that entrance and are thinking about exploring the real world. Once they leave, they won't come back.

Ms Bookworm said...

GOOD EVENING! My e-mail is sort of working again-- get really disgusted at times with my ISP! It'll take half the night to read everything. I've kind of skimmed over what's there so far. I took a few pictures of our ficus trees; will figure out how to post them in the morning. (Deb, thanks for the link!) Right now I'm trying to reply to my most important e-mails about possible jobs, and will be back here in the morning. Have a great night's sleep, everyone! Prayers said for all. Take care. :o]

magpie said...

Holey Smokes! Belle was in the nest SO BIG in the middle, got up, plucked around the nest, looked at Baby, and now has flown off...

magpie said...

But she woke the baby up before she left, now baby is all alone looking....

Ms Bookworm said...

Adult just left the nest; Hidey is by herself. She just woke up, and is looking around. Decided everything's OK, and she's going back to sleep now.

magpie said...

I turned the lights back on for awhile, now Jim, it's your turn to turn them off again....☺

magpie said...

I almost sort of saw the waxing moon a little while ago.

magpie said...

That'w Way Cool, Ms Bookworm! We saw the same thing at the same time - -
just three hours difference, that's all!

Back in awhile, time to drown a few bubbles !

magpie said...

Nice Avatar, Ms. B-W

Ms Bookworm said...

Thanks, Magpie! It's one of my favorites of all the pictures I took while on vacation with my husband, sister-and-brother-in-law, and two couples they know, in Scotland and England, July & Aug. 2008. It's a picture of the Royal Scots Greys Monument in Edinburgh, Scotland. Took 37 years to get to the UK, but well worth the wait! Wanna go back, ASAP! LOVED IT!!!!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hey, Magpie, that WAS pretty cool how we both saw the same thing happen at the nest! Amazing what a small world it is! Well, since I have to get up (and get my husband off to work) in about 3 hours, I guess I'd better leave the rest of the e-mails for later tomorrow morning, and start reading myself to sleep. Sleep tight, and I'll be back tomorrow. :o]

magpie said...

Yes, Ms. Bookworm, fun to share the night life with you...maybe you will see this post when you get up. We have a Momster, Chrissy, from the UK, she will be most interested in your vacation adventure.

I was off watching a DVD - Burning the Future...Coal in America. A homework assignment of sorts, in support of a friend of mine.

So, I guess it is time for a good night from Magpie's Roost....

Hope everyone hears me whispering in your ear...
... Love You, Friends ♥

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning out there in eagle land! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

floralgirl said...

Well, good morning, it's not raining here, so that's a good start...

Gabriela said...

G'Day everybody! Is Hidey standing on one leg?! She's so much more coordinated now! And it looks like it's stopped raining. I'm in Tallahassee & we're in a heavy fog this AM (read 110% humidity!) Oh! There's breakfast sushi for Hidey!! Yum!

deb said...

Good morning, I am on and off this morning. Have a good day everyone!

normabyrd said...

MY email is still down---Talked with broadband folks Mon.--waited & they couldn't figure out---but they would get back SOON---was out most of day yesterday---Will try this afternoon again-----

Red said...

Good morning eagle people. Guess it’s time for me to show up and let you know what’s happening. I’m still on oxygen and nebulizer and have not noticed any improvement but maybe will in time. I’m still able to do my yard work even though it’s difficult at times. Mrs. Red and I have been looking at houses in town with smaller yards but nothing found so far. We’re hoping to find a house in an area where we pay a monthly fee and they take care of most upkeep. We tried to have a yard sale this past Saturday but it was rained out. Where is all the rain coming from this year? I think we are above normal now I’ve been watching most of the nests and babies (some of which are not babies anymore) Hidey is still my favorite.

normabyrd said...

BOB!----THANKS FOR PHOTOS!----All are GREAT!!!---but think friend would enjoy the ----#6---#7--#8---any you choose--will be fine---

hedgie said...

Morning all. Nice piece on the CBS Morning Show about zoo babies and the POSSIBLE pending birth for Mei!! They said that when Tai was born, zoo attendance increased in the hundreds of thousands! And they showed Kibibi, the baby lowland gorilla----still a cutie!
Didn't know that baby anteaters ride on mom's back! Cool!

normabyrd said...

WHOA!! RED!----You have brought SUNSHINE to our WET & RAINY day!---House hunting is hard---but I'm sure you all find something soon!!!----Keeping you folks in my thoughts & prayers---WE ALL HAVE MISSED YOU!------STAY COOL!----
(guess i should say---stay dry) ho!

normabyrd said...

normabyrd said...

NPR - FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM NOON UNTIL THURSDAY IN EASTERN PANHANDLE!!----

ajsmolski said...

Hello everyone! I haven't been on since Friday. Have I missed anything exciting with Hidey?

hedgie said...

Hi ya', Red!!! So glad to see you back on with us. I agree about the rain....enough is enough! Difficult market time to being trying to sell and buy...good luck. A nice retirement community w/ yard service would be ideal (my mom has that, plus snow removal, too, in MO). Wishing you luck. Do wish that the O2 was doing you more good. Isn't our baby a BIG girl???

hedgie said...

Yes, Norma, this weather is definitely more for the frogs than the birds!
Hi ajsmolski. Glad you came back.

floralgirl said...

The sun is out!!!!!!!!!!!!
here comes the sun ♫♪♫♫♪

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' AJSMOLSKI!!----Our adorable 'BIG BIRD' is flapping her wings & yearning to fly---She is a 'trip' isn't she!!!----

normabyrd said...

THANKS MEGAN!----NEEDED THAT!

hedgie said...

Gee, Meggy, you could send some of those rays up the road this way!!!

Mits said...

GME....NEW THREAD IS UP

hedgie said...

Item in the paper explains that the purple boxes we see in the trees here in the panhandle are to trap the "emerald ash borer"--an Asian native that damages and kills trees. Now we know, Wanda and Margy!!!

ajsmolski said...

Good to know hedgie! We also have them in Marion/Mon/Taylor/Harrison counties, and I saw them in the south-central part of the state last summer. I just figured it was to do a study of what bugs were in the area.
