As Helen reported, a dead woman got a Stimulus check. Is it any wonder our country is in the shape that it is?:( That is just 1 of the many mistakes made by our government. Whoa is me:)
thanks Wanda and Steve
Helen, we could put a life vest on you to protect your ribs if you come with us on the visit;)
isn't that just amazing Wanda, I'm sure she is not the only dead person receiving money from the government
MM could lay in the bedroom and Ceil Nightengale could take care of her:)
Wanda , I will be in ocean city for Memorial weekend,,,,hoping to leave to go down there next Monday
poor Ceil always the caretaker, but she is good at it
the loon is off her nest again. go check out the eggs.
Oh, lucky you. Is jubby going to be with you?
Yep, garter snake, cut little bugger, really. But I discovered him earlier this morning when I stuck my hand into a flat of salvia and felt something move. After a shriek I discoverd what it was, and let him hang out in the flats for hours where I took a pic. The problem is, he disappeared into the plants in the back of the Gh , and everytime I pick up a flat I'm afraid he'll be in it.
He's definitely in there to get some mice, and I like that:)
Hi Becky, what's happening in Houston?
I was going to say, Megan, for a snake he is a cutie
Maybe slulgs too, Megan? Do you have a problem with slugs. They make my hostas look like swiss cheese!:(
is that what does that to the hostas...
Yep, Wanda,could be, cause I have a real slug problem in one spot in the GH. Need to put a saucer of beer back there to catch them.
Back to work, planting in the garden. Pretty day!
yes, Wanda, he will come for the weekend, and so will the M&M girls:)
Conn osprey cam down again
Megan, Gene wants to know what that PLANT is beside the snake;)
I'm glad your family will be with you, Helen. Fun weekend for the girls too.
I have put the bottle traps out with the top inverted and it does help, but can't get them all. Wish you could spray for them.
Thanks, Steve...yes the audio is certainly better than it was!!
Megan - I know they can't hurt you, but I'm sure having that little guy around sure sets your heart a pumping!
Ya learn something new everyday...didn't know the beer could get rid of slugs...I would think it would make them invite more over for the par-tay! :)
And thanks for the new thread, Steve!
Have we told you lately how much we ♥ our cam?
Lunch time here, I am caught up on the blog. I like Megan's snake, I had one while I was mowing the other day. It was little and had a little different coloring than Megan's.
Need to look at Bob's pictures, yet.
Bob, your pictures are great!
Thanks, Mits.....I won't feel guilty anymore!!!
Yep, beer works on the slugs!
Back to work for me, bbl.
See you this evening Deb!
Hope your afternoon hours speed by!
Back from DR visit - got a tetanus/dip. booster shot! My blood work looked great this time. No changes in meds - all doing what they should!
Go back in 3 months..... WHoo HOoo!
Hidey is just eloquently sitting there in the sunshine!
I got the NBG cam up/running - it had been down for some time.
Checked on Mei - Hope you get a report soon Mits.
Just saw our Atlanta Panda cub go
BOOOM off the hammock flat on his butt!
great report, Jo::)
I don't know what is taking so long with zoo report, unless the urine samples were not clear, and maybe she is refusing to go for her ultrasounds
Getting a late lunch!
BBILW
Good news, Jo.
I don't know if you noticed, but Norfolk is up again...
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Thanks, Jim!
Sorry.A snake is a snake. We have rattlers and moccasins... yuk
Well, FINALLY got our live cam open. Sure don't know what the problem was for the last 2 days. Steady buzz/hum....sounds like a weedeater that won't stop! Hidey's feathers ruffling in the breeze.
and that is why it works Paula, the more the merrier, they come they drink, they drown.
Yesterday seemed like Dr. appointment day around here too. Gene had 2. one at 10am and another at 1:15. I had one at l:45 and got a "new knee" (Yahoo!) and GeeGee had one at 3pm. I almost didn't get there in time. Dr wants to do a cystoscopy on her. Not very pleasant exam at all!! She doesn't know what it is like and...I am not going to tell her!
Helen, that is the slugs motto: eat drink and be merry for tomorrow you may die:):)
lol....and they do, Wanda
Mei is resting inside, and Tai has his frosty treat
Garter snakes might not can hurt you but the sight of any snake hurts me! :)
BWE update........
Nest Update
05/12/09:
It appears one of the eaglets has hit our camera box while flapping or jumping in and out of the nest. Our view is a bit to the left now.
Also, we've finished Part 3 of the Eagle Cam Gallery and opened Part 4. Thanks for all the submissions.
BWO update......
Nest Update
05/12/09:
We've updated the Osprey Cam Gallery with the latest photos of the eggs. Thanks to everyone for their shots.
And as a reminder, we opened the 2009 Osprey Cam Web Log a few days ago.
Also, Bob Quinn has posted new photos from the Refuge.
as long as I know it is more afraid of me, and can't hurt me, then it doesn't bother me
I just had a great crested flycatcher out here. Beautiful bird! I am so excited. Back again!
I don't know if it is just passing through but it sure is pretty!
Now the flycatcher is on the roof flattening itself out I guess to either get warm and cool off.
Shuttle Atlantis Damaged After Lift-Off
NASA reports that there is some damage to space shuttle Atlantis after its launch on Monday.
well that is not good:(, what are they going to blame it on this time
what a nice gift, MS. B
have not heard from ceil yet, about MM
When they know that happens, why don't they turn them around and land the shuttle??
Long day for MM and Ceil!
I don't know, guess they have to wait and look at films, I'm pretty sure all the emergency landing places were ok yesterday, they can't turn around right away and come back to Fla...but this is what happened to that last shuttle that fell apart over Texas saeveral years ago.
yep, another long one.
just talked to Ceil, MM is at Ceil's house. Ceil says she is acting like Goldilocks, they are trying to find her a place to get comfortable...couch too low, bed to high....going to be fun
Mei Xiang is up at the door doing her danced
Just peeking in. Have been cleaning my closet. Long over due! Really having fun trying on jeans and Levi shorts that I had put up...too tight. Now have three "new" pairs of jeans and two pairs of shorts, More fun!!!
I had a dream the other night she was not pregnant, of course on the pain meds, had another dream that I was being attacked by a giant bougainvillea vine
Eaglets sure do love a good breeze!
Mits Those are some dreams!
Sounds good, Mary Margaret being home at Ceil's - right, it does sound like Goldilocks!
I had a little trouble getting to the Blog and the live feed, had to google the sites and go in that way, but all is up and running now, so it is not just you, Paula and Lynn
Hidey seems to be enjoying the sunshine life this afternoon.
Mema Jo Congrats on a good doctor report.
And same to you Wanda -hope all works out well with that new knee and GeeGee's things too
Sounds like you are getting better, Lolly
Great !
What type of camera lens is on the eagle camera? Depending where the eaglet is in the nest it looks small and in other locations it looks larger. How big is the eaglet at this time? Does anybody know? Thanks
Ceil Hope you and Mary Margaret sneak on and have a look at Hidey -
who ALSO seems to have a time getting comfortable sometimes
Good to hear that you are together at Ceil's Roost ☺ ♥
Looks like Hidey found some leftovers in the nest. Yum!
Jessie
Most of the experts will probably start showing up on here soon and can probably give you some facts.
I can't answer either of the two questions, but I can tell you Hidey was hatched on March 14.
Yea, he (or she) looks like a regular Giant sometimes !!
Hey Wanda- I posted a picture on my blog of the plants that are to the right of the snake. Tell Gene they are not medicinal herb plants,as he may have thought, but just an ornamental annual vine called cardinal climber. A great hummingbird plant. And tell him I said to behave:)
Got to get out the row cover, weather gurus say patchy frost tonite, better put a blanket on some of my plants....
Your snake photos are great, Megan, and then I treated myself to looking at your flower bouquet pictures again. ☺
Cute, Hidey is cleaning up the nest !
Ulterior Motive: Find Food !
lol....had to go back and look at the plants again..:)
Jesse, don't know what kind of lens or technical stuff about the cams...someone will show up with the answer
Hi again.....got very sleepy earlier and ended up taking a 2 hr. panda nap!!! No wonder I didn't feel like doing anything...I apparently needed more sleep! Oh, well, now that the whole day is shot.......
Jessie, if you are still lurking...don't know aqbout the cam lens, but keep in mind that the nest is probably 6 ft. across. The lens kind of distorts the perspective....Hidey is probably over a foot-to-14" "long" by now! Welcome to the blog.
Margy, do you have to work tonight?
Mits, I had a really weird and disturbing dream last night, too...one of those kinds that hangs in the back of my mind and bothers me alot.....sure don't know what causes that kind of stuff.
Just hearing about the Shuttle damage....MTBR....
I am thinking that Steve will be the only one on here that knows the specs on the cam and lens, etc.
Good Evening everyone, leaving for work now. This answers your question, Lynn ☺ Hope it is a good one for everyone.
Not good news about Atlantis, will be anxious to read more about it.
Prayers for all, for wellness, comfort, and peace.
xo TTFN ♥
Is that a flycatcher on yur avatar, Shar?
Yes it is Lynn. Had one out here today. I get so excited when I get new birds!
I looked it up after you mentioned it earlier, Shar.....very nice looking bird! You are reallly getting lucky!
From HI - From Doug Carrick, 5/12/09 LITTLE ECHO'S FINAL RESTING PLACE
At 12:30 today I buried our little Echo. He is now, and always will be, in a beautiful corner of our garden. A "forest flame" shrub is on one side of him and a scented azalea on the other side. He is surrounded by blue bells, hyacinth and bleeding hearts. A deep red rose and a white rose grow up the fence behind him.
The beach can be seen from here, the deep blue water and the distant mountains - lovely surroundings for our lovely little eaglet. He is now resting in peace.
Thanks Megan! :(
I am home, and am looking at 5 little kestrel chicks. They are so cute.
Sharon, I would love to see your birds, you get some nice ones in your yard!
Kestrel parent is home and feeding chicks.
What a wonderful memorial Doug wrote for little Echo. It actually made me tear up, and I don't tear up very easily:( What a tender-hearted man he must be.
The Red-tail chicks are already walking around the nest and I just watched one do a very short wing flapping!
That is a really nice tribute to Echo...can just picture that lovely location.
That was a very nice post from Doug. What a hard thing to do, I would not be so strong.
Close up of REd-tail chicks!
Zoomed back out.
WooHoo! Good news for SD on the eagle!
Local ranchers are telling us of multiple bald eagle nests in Perkins
County. Only two years ago we recorded a first bald eagle nest in Perkins
County in more than 50 years. The bald eagle is back.
that was a nice tribute to Echo.
A note from Loraine on the Kent nest:
Too bad the camera connection has been disabled since they're here often and again today building up the nest. I know it's way too late (or would that be too early?) but they continue to leave greenery (the NO VACANCY sign) in the nest and more new just a bit ago too -- strange quirky beautiful birds...lol.
Not sure why she thinks the cam is disabled, I can bring it up and I see the greenery!
Really yucky outside, going to batten down some things. Nothing on the radar, so guess it is just really windy and humid.
Good Evening Everybody!!
Have not been able to write all day! Had site & Hidey on at work, but really busy.Did get to read some of yesterday's. Even gave up & put part of my lunch back in fridge!
Mits, read MM was to come home today! Hooray for her.☺
I just lost power, it didn't last long, if it goes again, I might just stay off.
Deb, thank goodness for a short outage! Is Perkins Co. your county?? Really neat!
What a beautiful tribute for Echo. Last night I saw a beautiful picture montage someone on their Forum put together.
BBL - Idol on
Really cooling off here.....possibility of frost tonight! Hope it doesn't hit Megan's!
No, Perkins county is West River, out in the middle of no where! There are quite a few nests around here, most of them are not accessible, some only by water on the river.
We had frost the other night, but only in low areas. Hopefully Megan will be okay.
Evening, all.
Very nice tribute to little Echo from Doug. He has watched the Hornby pair for over 20 years...
Gotta go walk the puppies...
Hope we don't have any frost...better check!
Hello from SC. Thought I would check in before mopping kitchen. Think I saw 3 young eagles flying over work today. No white heads so I am not sure. (amateur at this) Certainly had the right body and wing shape. A few months ago I saw two mature eagles - they flew over me so low I could see their beaks! Watched them circle higher and higher then snatch a "parking lot gull" right out of the air. This is in Camden, SC - not known for our eagle population. Have seen one for years sitting on rocks in Wateree river so they are here.
which parent is in nest right now?
which parent is in nest right now?
Jessie - Hidey is about 2 feet long by now...
And all the birds look larger up by the lens...and smaller further away
Good evening everyone. Just stopping by to thank you for MM for all the eaglet momsters and dadsters prayer. Momsters and dadsters prayers rock. Going to watch some tv and fall asleep. Have to get goldilocks settled for the night. Hugs to all.
Hidey is hanging out this end of the nest, right behind that splotch
Tonight
Mostly clear. Patchy frost after midnight. Lows in the upper 30s. North winds around 5 mph this evening...becoming light and variable.
Got all my tender plants outside covered with Remay, and the heater running in the GH, I'm prepared:)
get a good nights rest Ceil, Megan you must have been a girl scout, "be prepared'
day light in Finland
Bears on the snowman cam
Hello everyone. Just finished working, been a long day.
Our Hidey is just a tad bit smudgy this evening.
Glad MM Goldilocks is doing okay. Now Ceil has to take care of herself too!
I am so the opposite of a girl scout. Never prepared!
BEARS SNOWMAN CAM
Their gone. Mom and 3 cubs.
chat says it is 4 bears and 2 cubs:)
Good night everyone. Pleasant dreams.
Nice to see Ms.Ceil Nightingale on here! You do good work.
Saw all the Baby Bears---they must have come out for Goldilocks! LOL ☺
Goodnight, Ceil AND Mary Margaret!! She should start blogging while she's with you, Ceil!!!
See "them bars" at Snowman!!!
I only could see 3. They were close together and missed them when they left.
now they are saying 3 cubs and 1 big bear
Loretta and Lynn that is funny. Saw them bars.
thems bars still there.
Lynn that is a good idea. If I can get her to work mine. Have wanted to get her one. Have Margy syndrome again. Good night.
poor Mei is trying to sleep, and Tian is being a noisy eater
I was a Brownie drop out...never made it to Girl Scouts.
lol, Megan
goodnight Gracie(Ceil)
Had to put Bear pic on blog, since they all were there!
Wanda, say yours the other night--isn't that cool? I think they're a little more dangerous that Megan's garter snake!....And you flowers are beautiful already!
My fingers must be sleepy---can't hit the right keys...Duh, sorry
switch at Finland nest
bears are back
Mei sure is sacked out! Hope she is resting up for Motherhood!!!
they are having a Teddy bear picnic at snowman cam
tunning back to the woods
Everytime I see bears I think of a really popular song for kids from yesteryear. My Mom had to buy the 78 RPM. Was "The Teddybear Picnic".
yes Loretta we sang that all the time, and we sing it to the M&M girls now...off to watch without a trace...bbl
Helen, Great minds must think alike!
I don't remember that song, Loretta...but sure do remember The Ballad of Davy Crockett! He kilt him a bar when he was only 3!!!
Of all nights to have power trouble, I missed the three cubs.I did see one big bear when I came back on.
MM, glad you are getting settled in! This would be a good time to jump on and blog with us as soon as you are up to it!
Oh, I know Teddy Bear Picnic! Mits, have you ever gone on a bear hunt with the girls? That is a fun thing to do with them.
BEARS!
Teddy Bear's Picnic
I found YouTubes with video, but she sings it best of the ones I tried.
I got to see the bears, so I am off to read before bed. Night everyone.
Nite Deb!
Deb, just sent you a pic of the bears and now i see you saw them! Oh, well! Goodnight! Humpday tomorrow!
Thanks for supplying the song, Deb....honest to goodness, I don't remember ever hearing it before----and I've always been an Anne Murray fan, too!!
One more check in, the bears are gone, but they oops, here comes another!
Lynn, thanks for the picture! I had hump day today. Mary and I are headed to Custer on Friday, we hope to see lots and lots of birds! Too bad that Roger can't come, he is our expert. Mary and I muddle through without him and send him lots of pictures for verification.
Now I am really going to read!
Bear gone again.
That's the same shot I captured, Loretta....sent it to Deb and Suz!
Good to see the bears again tonight. Something different from what we watch all day.
I'm taking GeeGee shopping tomorrow, so I better rest up. She is so thin, it is hard to find clothes to fit her right.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Heading for tub in a few, and then will watch NCIS; will save the other two CBS shows for another time. MIGHT watch Deadliest Catch if I'm not too sleepy! Catch y'all tomorrow. Hope we all rest well without any bad dreams!! Prayers for all.
I am going to say good nite. Watched AI and then DWTS. Both of them ending soon. Saw the bears. Thanks Deb for the heads up!
Nite all! Sweet dreams!
love that song Deb, thanks, good night everyone

Almost thought Hidey was out of the nest when I first opened up .
Whew!
Friend just sent me a text message that he saw two eagles at Back Creek (in our area, Hedgesville) - I asked back the question, Bald or Golden? I think he is turkjey hunting so I might not get an answer for awhile.
"More to Be Revealed."
Got to get to bed, short visit, sorry, have to get for a meeting at 2 pm :(
Hope all the flowers survived frosty patches, Megan and other gardeners.
See you all later, hope it is a Great Day.
