GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!

deb said...

It has been down since last night, Norma!!

deb said...

I sent an e-mail to let everyone know it is back up.

deb said...

I am getting ready to head out kayaking with Mary. It is going to be hot today, so it will be a good day to be on the water.

normabyrd said...

DEB!---We have had RAIN this am---so don't know about our 'RELAY FOR LIFE' yet!---Have fun today!!---don't get a sunburn!!

normabyrd said...

FINLAND OSPREY is feeding the little 'fuzz balls'---the sun is shining & one can see some green on the trees below!!---LIFE IS GOOD!

deb said...

I am putting on the first layer of suntan lotion now, Norma.

hedgie said...

Good morning Deb and Norma!
So glad the blog is working again!
Won't be here to play with y'all until this evening. Getting ready to head out to make the cemetery run to DC. Raining here again!
Crazy world: the guy who killed the ex-girlfriend here last weekend was taken to ER for a suicide attemot last evening---he tried to escape and the correctional officer shot him in the ER. he was airlifted to Winchester for surgery....nothing yet on his status. What a mess.
Hope everyone has a good day! Talk to you tonight.

deb said...

I am off to enjoy the wonderful outdoors. BBL

stronghunter said...

Good morning. I have been looking at those trees at the Finney nest and wondering if there was any green there. They do have a short growing season, don't they?

stronghunter said...

Thanks for the e-mail, Deb. I was wondering when the blog would be back up.

normabyrd said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEST VIRGINIA!!!!
Let us CELEBRATE today!!----JUNE 20, 1863---
You can GOGGLE WV BIRTHDAY & hear John Denver's 'COUNTRY ROADS'---ho!
I have heard that BLUEFIELD SHARON is planning to sing 'THE WEST VIRGINIA HILLS' (wv st song) for all of us today!!!----YOU GO SHARON!!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' HEDGIE & SHIRLEY---HEDGIE pray you & your guests stay DRY!-We have had rain this am & forecasting off & on all day!-----NO CALL yet for RELAY FOR LIFE day!!---

stronghunter said...

Looks like it's raining at the nest, and I think it's headed this way. The bunny may get lost in the grass in my backyard, but at least the front and sides are done.

stronghunter said...

I hear Hidey sounding like a puppy again.

stronghunter said...

Good morning, Norma.

Bill said...

Breakfast is served

normabyrd said...

SHIRLEY if you look 'REALLY' close-----you can see a wee bit of green--ho!---They had some sort of a storm there earlier this season---we were told earlier---we would not be able to watch the nest this season!!---That could be some of the problem---

normabyrd said...

HAPPY WV DAY---ELKINS BILL!---What's for breakfast?

Mits said...

well we were ALL having trouble getting on the blog last night, wonder what the BIG glitch was about...GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

stronghunter said...

I think there are green trees in the distance...they are probably evergreens. The ones closer up do seem to have a wee bit of green. A cold snap after the trees start to leaf out would kill the ftender first growth and delay the greening. I saw that happen once when we lived in Ohio.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Norma, I certainly could sing it as I do know the words! :)

♫♫♪♫"OH THE WEST VIRGINIA HILLS, HOW MAJESTIC, OH HOW GRAND,
WITH HER SUMMITS BATHED IN GLORY LIKE OUR PRINCE IMMANUEL'S LAND. . .♪♫♪

stronghunter said...

Yikes! Hidey is not about to share the breakfast nor the nest.

Mits said...

Shirley, FINNEY'S NEST cam was fixed rather quickly after it was down...it is the FINLAND NEST that we may not see for the season, I have posted the translation of the problem with that nest on the blog before, if I get a chance I will do it again.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' MITS!----I was about to 'LOSE IT' this am---when I couldn't get on the BLOG!!----ho!

stronghunter said...

Thanks, Mits. I remember your previous message. That was the nest near the water, I believe. A pretty location.

Bill said...

I think it will be FISH!!!

stronghunter said...

Wonder if a bird can get heartburn from so much agitation while eating?

Mits said...

Goggle transalation from the FINLAND NEST....

INFORMATION!
23.5.2009 thunder broke the nest camera. Patch can not be performed without disturbing pesintää, so the picture is broadcast katkolla until the chicks ring in June and July, the turn. Chicks expected to hatch in early June.


We have been watching this nest because the sea eagles take over when the osprey are not there, also see hooded crows, much more active then FINNEY'S NEST.

normabyrd said...

Thank You WEST VIRGINA SHARON!!---We have 1 other WEST VIRGINAN on the blog this am!!---ELKINS BILL!!

Bill said...

I was having trouble staying live for a few minutes,working now

Mits said...

Hidey's voice is getting deeper

stronghunter said...

Thank you, Mits.

stronghunter said...

So, Mits, Hidey is an adolescent?

Mits said...

my barber pole is running, don't know why..

normabyrd said...

I have tried the NORFOLK SITE--a few time this am---STILL BLACK!

stronghunter said...

I haven't ever really understood that barber pole. I just refresh and it seems to work.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning ALL in Eagleland

It is wet here as is at the nest.

Nice to see everyone ( :

Good to come on and Hidey be there also...whine whine lol

Bill said...

REALLY big rain here this morning

normabyrd said...

HEIDY aka MIRACLE is a 'JUVIE'---But she is 'OUR JUVIE'----She can only say one word---MINE!--MINE!----ADORABLE LITTLE IMP!

stronghunter said...

Is there more than one fish in the nest? Was that quick adult visit the delivery of fish number two?

Mits said...

guess we can call Hidey a juvie now, he just pulled a second fish over to eat....I never see the barber pole running til I have timed out, this is unusual

normabyrd said...

BILL---We had that earlier!---BIG TIME RAIN!--think we can expect some more later!

stronghunter said...

... or, maybe I should say, were there two fish in the nest?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

It is overcast and cloudy in Bluefield. Good breeze blowing, 74°.

Mits, how is the ocean this morning?

Yesterday evening, Sissy, Tom, Mattie and Crystal went to the pier and waved at their surf cam so I could see them. I don't like them still!

Mits said...

don't know Shirley, wasn't paying that close attention to nest

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Elkins Bill, do you know the words to WV State Song? :)

Mits said...

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, Hidey in the nest eating and the blog works. Life is good!!

paula eagleholic said...

Woke up here to pouring rain!

paula eagleholic said...

I see the 30 second cam pic is still stuck. Now it has 8:08 on mine, last night it was between 6:50 adn 6:34

wvgal_dana said...

Norma thank you for the prayers and that goes for EVERYONE thank you please keep them up.

Today and tomorrow he finally gets to rest with no appointments. He can sit on the couch with his legs up and read his book and watch tv.

When we have to go to appointments. Oxygen tanks are taking a toll on both of us. Makes my arms and hands hurt badly even though they feel light. With him not being right here at home where he is connected to the concentrator has been trying and tiring.

More to be revealed at appointment on Monday and Tuesday.

normabyrd said...

SHIRLEY---I have a 'wabbit' story too----I have always had rabbits--The other day looking out the window -- saw this little bunny lying on her side-- all stretched out on the side of drive!!--I WAS READY TO KILL!!!---(neighborhood cats)---went storming out-----as I approached the rabbit----she sat up & just looked at me!!----(was sure she was dead)---- ho!

wvgal_dana said...

Oh NORMA your 9:07am todays comment is so "funny".

Mits your company just wants to be with you and not DC.

Hummm comment about the guy that killed is ex-girlfriend being shot. I'll have to think that on over. Sorry for his family. Won't say no more about what I feel about him. "Zip mouth on him".

wvgal_dana said...

Lots of Donkey's out Norma ( :

Morn'n Paula

Carol said...

Great to see Hidey to start this Saturday... seems to be a rarity for me these days. Noisy little thing this morning too! Hope everyone has a nice day :)

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' PAULA---When I tried to get on the blog this am---I thought I was going to lose it!!---POURING RAIN & NO PUTER!!---ho!--'LIFE WAS "NOT" GOOD'----then BEAUTIFUL DEB came on---she is on the river this am!---

stronghunter said...

Norma, I guess it was just napping. When we had a house in a grove of oak trees, we would sometimes look out and see a squirrel sleeping on the deck rail, just lying there with legs hanging down, but you wouldn't think a rabbit would be so relaxed.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' CAROL---She had to come out today!!---Today is WV'S BIRTHDAY!!!---& she was hatched in the GREAT STATE OF WV!!

ps--i think i have overplayed the wv thing today---ho!

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey is gone! Thought he might stay awhile!

stronghunter said...

I have another rabbit story. Our next door neighbors had a pet rabbit who was the most aggressive bunny I have ever seen. It would growl and bite and scratch. It would come after you. Really!

It bit my little beagle on the nose. After that, Snoopy was afraid of that bunny. Smart dog. Snoopy was a polite little guy. He did like to chase cats, but he would not mess with that bunny.

I don't know if you remember when President Carter encountered a growling rabbit swimming towards his boat and chased it away. Lots of people laughed, but I can tell you that some rabbits can be aggressive.

normabyrd said...

SHIRLEY---a couple of years ago--a rabbit was lying on his side in front of my kitchen window (level with ground)---was so scared--called my daughter---WHAT TO DO!---same thing--woke up--hopped away---

stronghunter said...

I guess bunnies have to sleep somewhere.

normabyrd said...

I have woodland along my lawn--so I do see several animals---but the rabbits are so cool---

RAINING AGAIN!

normabyrd said...

SHIRLEY---I am still LAUGHING!--I DO REMEMBER!!---

Lolly said...

Good morning! Boy, that was frustrating not being able to get on last night. Went to bed without telling you good night!! Made me think about how important this blog is to me. With out it, I loose all my wonderful friends.

Our dinner out was fantastic. This morning Jack is fixing sausage and waffles. Happy Anniversary to us!!!

JO.....sounds like your day yesterday with family was just awesome. Love that family lots while they are here!

BOB......after reading your Bunny Blog I decided you have too much time on your hands. LOL

stronghunter said...

I felt sorry for Jimmy Carter when that happened. If you haven't seen an evil bunny, you can't understand. I would not think they could growl, but this one could. Cute little white bunny. The family loved him. I didn't like him so much.

normabyrd said...

NORFOLK SITE----ONE beautiful 'REBEL' JUVIE---UP CLOSE & AWESOME!!!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Lolly, where are you?

stronghunter said...

Hi Lolly. I envy your planned trip to Colorado. I would love to go there again.

wvgal_dana said...

Happy Anniversary Lolly and Jack!!
What if I remember right is it your 43rd?

Morning Carol

Oh Norma play up WV some more lol

Lolly said...

I thought this was interesting. On OK blog.....

19 June: Recently fledged Bald Eagles are often at a higher than optimal weight for flying,
and they may have little interest in or need for food. They might only eat something every other day,
so it can be easy to miss seeing a meal. The eaglet continues to do well

Costume Lady said...

Loved seeing that side of BOB!;)
He's a fun guy:)

Mits said...

Bob is great!!!!!!

Mits said...

Happy Anniversary, Lolly and Jack

stronghunter said...

Maybe someone should tell Hidey that it is okay for an eaglet to miss a meal. Not sure Hidey has gotten that message!

normabyrd said...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LOLLY!---I remarked yesterday---that you folks were married on WEST VIRGINA'S BIRTHDAY!---So I will always remember the date!!---How was your dinner last night?---Sounded so COOL!!---when do you all head to AZ?----

stronghunter said...

Happy anniversary Lolly and Jack from me too.

Lolly said...

Wanda, we are home. We do not leave until Monday. I will not be getting on the blog as we will be in the mountains, also no hookups.

It is our 44th, married June 20, 1965, at 4:00 on a Sunday, Father's Day. Going to a family wedding tomorrow, another Fathers's Day wedding! The father of the groom is performing the wedding. He is my cousins son. He also married my two children. He does fantastic wedding services, full of joy!!

ceil said...

Morning all. Norma my son is doing the relay for life in Oregon this morning.
Shirley we had a rabbit and I heard it growl. We had to take it to the children's zoo.
Morning sister.
Lolly and Jack HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

paula eagleholic said...

I had several rabbits as pets when I was a kid. We used to let them run around outside in our yard. We had a cage for them on the carport where they could go for protection. Also had food and water in there.

My one bunny, appropriately named Bun Bun, used to chase dogs our of our yard! He was fearless! Chased a german shepherd down the street, nipping at his back heels. The owner called my Mom and said she wanted her to pay for the vet bills. Mom said "Your dog shouldn't have been off his leash and in our yard (they lived on the next street over). So my Mom said "OK we'll go to court. You bring your big german shepherd and I'll bring my little bunny and we'll see who wins!" As you can see, my Mom didn't take any crap from anybody!

Mits said...

morning sister Ceil,.....the USAF Thunderbirds are going to be at the DOVER AIR SHOW this weekend...one of them flew by the other day:)

Lolly said...

Have been hearing lots of different bird calls on our cam this morning.

paula eagleholic said...

Happy Anniversary Jack and Lolly!

I am heading down to Mom's for the weekend...better get my butt in gear...will check back before I go!

Lolly said...

Thank you for all the anniversary greetings.

We are going to buy a new TV for the trailer as our anniversary present. However, on this trip we are not taking a TV. I will take the computer. On the way up there and on the way home we may be at RV parks where I can get on.

stronghunter said...

We had lots of rabbits when I was growing up. (It is easy to get lots of rabbits if you start with a pair.) We had no growling ones. They were all sweet and quiet.

Paula, I love your German shepherd story! I would like to see a bunny chasing a German shepherd down the street--at least I think I would.

Lolly said...

There is a hospital close to us that has in the middle an enclosed area that is outdoors, a big area. It is full of rabbits! Pictures of rabbits with their names are posted by the door going out to this area. Also the rules for the area. I took the boys one time. They loved it!

Lolly said...

Breakfast is ready! Gotta go!

BBL

stronghunter said...

I am going to have to run out to the vet's to pick up my kitty's medications.

BBL.

ceil said...
