«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 514 of 514Hidey is standing very still at the launch pad
Margy the sea and the stars are very clear tonight....I missed the rocket take off from Wallops Island, it was scheduled between the hours of 7:30 and 11:30, not sure what time it actually took off.....lots of fishing boats doting the horizon
I have some sad news from my family. My dad was killed in a car accident today. I was waiting to say anything on the blog until we knew what was going to happen next, but that is going to take longer than we hoped. It looks like the services might be delayed as my dad's sisters from Louisville are on vacation in Hilton Head. I am doing okay, don't think it has hit me yet, too many calls to make and details to help with.
Just signed in - What position are you calling the launch pad - 2:00?
Deb, I am so very, very sorry to hear about your Dad. You know that you have the love and support of everyone here on this blog. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.
(((Hugs)))
Mits, that's very nice of them to do your furniture, too! Hope they didn't make a mess for you inside!!!
Vick, some go to the nest rather frequently....a bunch of us get together and make a trip periodically. So much fun! A lot of us live relatively close-by.
Oh, Deb, how tragic!! My heart, thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family!!
I don't see Hidey either, Sharon....
:(
He's at 4ish Jo, behind the splotch.
I think I see Hidey at the launch pad. Looks like some of her is behind the smudge mark.
Deb, we are so sorry for your loss, prayers are headed your way
closest thing looks like anything would be around 4:00 o'clock
He looks like a tree trunk.
Deb, so very sad for you. Hope you feel my arms around you at this difficult time. So tragic. So glad that you had time with him when you went out for the wedding. If there is ANYTHING we can do for you, please let us know....we are here for you. Please let us know the arrangements when you get things finalized. Love and hugs to you and your family.
Deb... I am so sorry for this profound and tragic loss. We join our prayers and thoughts together here for you. If you need help with anything at all, making phone calls, or anything, please, call on us. If you need our phone numbers just to talk, just say so.
I send the strongest prayers to you and your family. May you feel the comfort of God, friends and family at this difficult time.
They just showed the rocket launch on the news, Mits...lovely site...but they didn't say what time it went up!!
Paula-OMG thoswe pics are awesome. Thanks, it gives a better perspective of what I am looking at.
shutting down for tonight, Lynn they put everything on plastic, my cleaners had just come in last week, so everything is fine....Deb rest easy my friend, and peace be to you and your family. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it, and we will keep praying that HE does give you comfort.
Your welcome, Vick.
Where are you vick?
Deb...So very sorry to hear about your Dad. My Dad was killed in an accident years ago, and it does seem like when death comes so sudden and unexpected that we have a harder time with the reality of it. Keep family and friends close to you, it helps alot. My prayers are with you.
(((((((((Hugs for our Deb )))))))))
We may be miles apart but you know we are here for you
I am in Mason WV. I worked last summer in Preston Co. Is that close to the nest?
Heading to bed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Deb ♥
Hugs to all ♥
Our Eaglet has returned to his visible nest spot.
Preston County is about five counties Westward from here Vick, so, not very close... but you are closer to NormaByrd, and we have a Carole in Terra Alta!
The nest is in Berkley county, I believe. Near Charlestown and Harpers Ferry, along the Potomac River, across from Maryland, and close to Virginia as well.
Vick, the nest is in Jefferson County. It, along with Berkeley and Morgan make up the Eatern Panhandle, which is sandwiched between MD and VA!
Make that EASTERN!!
Calling it a day. Prayers for all, especially our Deb and her family. May God hold you in the palm of His hand, and give you peace.
Message from CHIL Eagle CAM You may be interested to know that Dr. Sharpe and the IWS are planning on banding the Two Harbors nest eaglets on Friday, May 22nd and the West End nest eaglets on Friday, June 5th. The Two Harbors nest has 2 chicks (hatch dates 3/26 and 3/28). It was the FIRST TIME this nest was left to hatch naturally. The West End nest has 2 chicks (hatch dates 4/7 and 4/9) It was also the FIRST TIME this nest was left to hatch naturally.
Link to Channel Island Eagle Cams for Banding
Good Night, all.
Prayers for comfort in this time of loss for Deb, and for safety, wellness, and peace for all of us.
God Bless Us, Every One.
xo
So glad Hidey has decided on the regular sleeping accommodations in the nest and has come off the edge for the night!
Good Night to All
Prayers especially for Deb and family
Prayers being said for all our needs
(((hugs))) ♥
MARGY, I have to tell you that I accidently dialed 911 today. I had to give them my name, rank, and serial number...wow, was I embarrased:(
Hatching going on right now at Loch of the Lowe's - egg cracking and movement from within.
DEAR DEB...my heart is aching for you now. What a tragic way to lose a loved one. I am at a loss for words, so I will pass this Psalm on to you:
In my distress I cried unto the lord, and he heard me.
May peace be with you and healing in your heart very soon.
Feel our arms around you when you need a friend or a hug.
Thank you all so much for your kind words, support and love. They truly do reach across the miles.
Forgot to say...
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Deb, my heart goes out to you and your family. God bless you all, and give you His peace, which surpasses all understanding! Many prayers are headed your way.oxoxox
Magpie, as I was trying to catch up on the blog, I saw that there was another earthquake here. Would you believe it-- I was so busy running around doing chores, that I didn't even notice! Say, it's good to see Hidey all comfy IN the nest tonight! Hey, Paula, the video of Hidey NOT hiding is fantastic!...that reminded me to go vote for Bob's pic again! Well, have an appt. tomorrow morning at South Coast College. Better try to get some sleep! Talk to you guys in the morning. Prayers for all, and wishes for a good night!
P.S.-- Magpie, I promise I'll hang on in case of another shaker! :o]
I can't sleep, so I see a Bear at the Snowman cam, looks like an adult
...and gone
Hidey can't sleep either, back at 4 o'clock and hard to see
deb:
So sorry to hear of your tragic loss. Just catching up on the blogs this morning. Thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time!
Oh Deb, I am so very sorry for your loss. Bless your heart. I am just at a loss for words. I love you!! ((((((HUGS)))))))
Yeah - you guys are up early this morning. Or were you up and have since gone back to bed?
Memma Jo -
thanks for the heads up on the West End eaglets. Their mommy is the best. She is nearly always with them. A sweet nest.
Deb - I'm new here, but good thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Bless you all. . . I can't even imagine.
Good morning Lori. I am here, started work at 4:30 this morning, trying to get the day in before this cough wears me down. Hidey has been surveying his/her domain this morning!
I feel so sad for her when she just sits there looking out like "I want to fly!" Or is she waiting for her breakfast delivery?
I get to work at 3:45am every day so I'm always up early.
Here she is! On the camera again.
Very graceful, too.
She hides very well under the cam, doesn't she?
good morning ... blogging is new to me .... how do I read Steve's threads?
Welcome!! Glad you are here. What do you mean "Steve's threads"? Where you type on the blog is the thread and there are blue highlighted "Older, Oldest", "Newer, Newest" to go forward and backward on the thread and read earlier comments.
Hope that helped, I can be clear as mud sometimes! ☺
Sissy ... what I am confused about is i.e. Tuesday thread posted by Steve Chase at 7:50 AM on May 19, 2009 .... how can I read Steve's thread? where is it posted?
I was lucky when I started on here, I had my sister to show me what to do.
Good Morning early people...just passing through, checked a few things.
Loch of Lowe's had a successful hatch of the 3rd egg...one chick died yesterday morning, now, new life at that nest, the other chick was hatched May 15 or 16.
Norfolk is to affix a transmitter to one of their eaglets this morning around 10 o'clock according to their site.
Suzanne said, that earlier, that one of the three eaglets is not in the nest any more. No details on that, but I can't get the cam to open to have a look...
checking out again, see you friends in a little while...
Thoughts and Prayers for Deb and her family, first and foremost.
That is where we type our blog, called a thread. We are on Steve's thread. Am I just confusing you more? Hopefully someone will come on shortly that knows better how to help, I am so illiterate in this stuff!! ☺☺☺
Deb- so very sorry to read the news about your Dad.(((((HUGS))))
Good morning Magpie!
Oh how I wish we could have a band and GPS transmitter for Hidey so we would always know where she is and that she's doing well.
Don't worry about being new MJCAT -I am, too. Really - no stress here.
Well, at least she is visable, even if it's only her cute head, in front of the camera again.
Good morning Eagle dudes anbd dudettes.
Suz sent this info this am at about 2---
Just brought the cam up and they were panning all over the place, ground
to trees. They finally brought the cam back to the nest, and there are
only two eaglets in the nest. Now they are zooming way out, but can't
see the third eaglet. Hope he's alright. Big wing flaps on one, but they
have been doing flaps for a while now. Wonder what happened? I hope they
send someone out there to look for him, he may have fallen or tried to
fly and just didn't have the strength to get very far.
Nothing on the blog other than the transmitter being attached today at
10 to one of the eagles.
Zoomed way out, but don't see any parents on or near the nest tree and
still just the two eaglets.
Good grief, Nature will surely give you grey hair!
MORNING YA'LL. cloudy windy and 60 ga degrees this morning. Had to check on Hidey first thing.
I am so very sorry to hear of Debs dads death. My prayers are with her and her family!
Wow, Hidey jumped on whatever the parent brought in quick and ain't letting them near it!!
MJcat--this IS "the thread"! If Steve writes anything, it will appear where he write "new thread" or whatever he puts each day---most days!! Sometimes later than others. So anyway, you are in the right place to blog. If you want to read more about Steve himself, he has lots of links on the right-hand side of the page. Welcome.
Can't tell what it is but it doesn't look like a fish.
DEB!---I just read about your loss------no words to express the sorrow I feel in my heart----You are our favorite NATURE GAL---Sending you much--much love and prayers---We are here for you---
oh my gosh! I am so thrilled to get to see that!!!!!!
Wow, I don't know what Lib just brought in, but Hidey sure is doing BIG time manteling!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Hidey is learning very well:)
Lori, are you going to join us Sat.??
Good morning everybody. My thougths and prayers are with Deb this morning. Bless her heart. Life can change in a split second.
Hidey got a breakfast drop a few minutes ago I think.
Hidey is either whining for a parent to come and tear that food apart, or warning them to stay away.
Good morning all.
Deb so sorry to hear about the death of your father. Wish we all lived closer to you.
Hugs
Mei is dragging more bamboo into the den....guess no serious "get down to birthing business" still...yet....again...hmmmm.
Looks like Hidey doesn't want us to see what (s)he's eating!!
Hidey has body parts stuck on her beak!!
From Suz-------
I just checked NBG again, they have taken the cam off the air. Nothing
but a black screen, and so far, no update from the biologists either.
They have the transmitter installation this morning at 10, and that's
supposed to be on cam, so I'm guessing we will hear something before
then. I think they may be out looking for the eaglet. I hope if he fell
he just got a little bruised or something, not seriously hurt.
Anyone who can get that cam, please keep an eye out....I can't get it 90% of the time!
I haven't been able to get NBG at all this season. Last season, had no problem...it is a wonderful cam, if you'r lucky enough to get it!:(
Hey everyone - best of the morning to you.
Hedgie - what camera is Suz referring to? Can never have to many bird cams to watch :).
I want to go Saturday. Spent hours online yesterday trying to find a way to increase my telephone power of my camera.
... shoulda been power of my telePHOTO lens. Duh.
I forgot to say----
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!---It is a beautiful glorious am here in WILD & WONDERFUL WV----HOME of the most beautiful---intelligent---cunning EAGLET in the world!!!---She just hasn't been able to work out that 'FLYING THING' yet!!---but she is trying---and WOW!--we LOVE her!!!---
Jim, you're missing Hidey's mantling again!!!
Hidey is flipping out!! She wants out of that nest!!
Breakfast is done, now it's time to wingersize.
No--HEDGIE!---Don't you think she just doesn't want to share her food with MOMA & DAD!---ho!---She is COOL!
Cleaning off beak on the tree????
I hope he cleans his beak off before he sticks his face in the cam:)
Wow, how cool is that, right at the camera.
Did you ever wonder why the bark is all torn up on the Sycamore trees...well, now we know.
She is playing peek-a-boo again.
SISSY -- Did you GOOGLE to get info on helping with your COUGH!--Friend did that last week for a cold----Lots of GOOD HOME REMEDIES on there----
I am running late--have study group today---
I don't recall any of the eaglets from last year doing what Hidey is doing, do you remember, Sharon?
I don't recall ever seeing them hanging out right there.
Oh how funny, feather!
Lori, click on email in my profile, and send me your full name (I'm making nametags) and then I'll have MemaJo add you to the list for Security.....I can get directions from her coming from your direction and give you all the particulars.....also, if you plan to have dinner with us, Wanda may need to update the restaurant head-count, so let me know ASAP! We look forward to having you join us!
Here's link for Norfolk cam:
NorfolkCam
MJCAT---When STEVE gives us a new thread---IT MEANS WE ARE GETTING A NEW EMPTY PAGE TO WRITE OUR BLOG ON---(hope that helps)----I understand how hard it is to figure things out the 1st time---As the others will tell you---(i still haven't gotten things figured out yet) ho!---HANG IN THERE!!
Normabyrd - you've come a long way, baby! :)
Wow... look at Hidey branching. He's so close to the camera... I wish he would wipe that smudge while he's up there! :) I've taken a picture of him for those of you who missed this wonderful "close-up"... IF I can figure out how to post it!
Check our 'MADONNA'!!----WOW!---If she only had a mirror---she could admire her beauty!---SHE IS A TRIP!!!
Hidey has feathers on his beak...I hope he's not getting the Bird Flu;)
Suz said that we have never had an eaglet explore like this before, she said "This Kid is a First"!
Thank you KINDLY---BLUEFIELD SHARON!----I did remember something---yesterday---DEB remarked that when parents want their EAGLETS to FLEDGE---they sometime withhold food!!!---Didn't our FIRST group do that---they just kept lingering & coming home too often?? ho!---
Suz just made this comment:
One thing's for sure, if this eaglet keeps hanging around on the tree by
the cam, we will sure get a good view of him! He flew down to the nest
from here, yesterday. Very cool to see, so I hope he does that on
Saturday too. Or even fledges!
That eaglet is sure to entertain us Saturday! Might even try to join us in the Eagle Express:)
Wish I could have captured that yawn!
Good morning all;
I am so excited to have another day of Hidey watching!
So, what happens have he/she leaves the nest. Will the cam be turned off. I assume the nest will no longer be used until time for new babies?
Where is everyone this morning? Hidey is branching like crazy. And so vocal as well.
I don't know how to add pictures yet so click on my avatar and look at the full size. It's a wonderful close-up of our little Hidey. :)
Me too, Aimeecat.
Isn't this great?
I feel so blessed to see a little corner of what's soon to be her big world.
HOPE VICK37 IS FEELING BETTER
ANOTHER VOTE FOR BOB
Oh... sorry about that. For some reason my page was not updating properly and it was showing no-one here but me. That's why I asked where everyone was. Glad you are here to see this today. I think she will be taking flight very soon.
NBG is up and running
Lori,
I know it is so exciting. I'm new to this and completly hooked! :-)
Thank-you all for thoughts and prayers......
WE HAVE A NEW THREAD, LORI FOUND IT! :)
Zoo just announced that Mei is NOT pregnant........boo...what a disappointment.
Food again...This is awesome....
