Good Morning!

Thanks Steve for the new thread!

I yelled at everyone! Guess that was not nice!

stronghunter said...

I was wondering if that was an egg shell over to the right. I was not sure how large it should be, but it looks like half an egg.

Sunday, June 14, 2009 9:41:00 AM

Lolly said...

Peaceful morning. My boys are already playing outside.

Lolly said...

Good morning Shirley! I need to go to the old blog to see what's up!

stronghunter said...

Lolly, I missedy your comments about graduation last night. I answered this morning.

stronghunter said...

Looks stormy at OK. Eaglet is still sitting on bar and looks very wet.

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, I mentioned that egg shell at Finney's....

I haven't been watching the site the last couple of days, so I can't comment if it's new or not! Margy would know! But she's sleeping!!

paula eagleholic said...

Lolly, sometimes you have to yell at us to get us to listen :)

stronghunter said...

Yes, Paula, I was responding to your mention. I should have used your name.

normabyrd said...

PAULA--would you please bring over my last post--in re: artificial nest?

normabyrd said...

THANKS STEVE for the BEAUTIFUL SUNNY thread!!----ENJOY!!

stronghunter said...

Finney bird flew. I see a baby!

Lolly said...

Shirley, I went back and skimmed quickly this mornings comments. Saw what you said.

stronghunter said...

Two babies at Finney.

normabyrd said...

THANKS LOLLY!!---YES!--THAT WAS A NICE THING FOR YOU TO CALL US OVER!!!--

stronghunter said...

Three babies at Finney.

Lolly said...

I saw three little heads at Finney's nest!

Lolly said...

Good morning Norma! Being naughty this morning. We are playing hooky from church.

paula eagleholic said...

Finney mom is up, can see 2 chicks.

paula eagleholic said...

One was just pecking the other.

Lolly said...

Paula, I saw three little heads. One is lower than the other two.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, cool! Just read ya'll saw 3 at Finney's. Maybe there was a switch.

paula eagleholic said...

Margy and Jim will be happy to hear that.

stronghunter said...

I saw three as well. Just for an instant.

Lolly said...

They are cute little guys with the markings through the eye.

normabyrd said...

MOM OSPREY is feeding NOW!---I am so HAPPY---I could shout!!---LIFE IS GOOD!!

paula eagleholic said...

Norma said...

SHIRLEY---It is raining there---we think--& bet she is protecting her chicks??----that nest went through a bad storm a while back---we thought we would not get to watch the nest---but I thank God we can-----Also we learned about 2 yrs ago that the nest is artificial---meaning they BOUGHT the nest--& look how small all the trees look!-----that's shows one how HIGH the nest is from the ground---

stronghunter said...

Poor OK eaglet is a mass of wet feathers. At least it looks that way to me. I'm new at this.

normabyrd said...

JIM was on earlier & he predicted
same-----AFTER THE RAIN!

stronghunter said...

Yes, Paula, I have always wondered about those trees. Either they are very small or the nest is high above them Also, they do not seem to have leaves. An artificial nest? Interesting . . .

Lolly said...

I was so disappointed, Paula, when I learned the nest was built by man. It is such a beautiful nest! So huge!

paula eagleholic said...

Gonna go find some breakfast! BBL

stronghunter said...

Lolly, I guess the birds like it.

normabyrd said...

Thanks PAULA!!---for bringing over my last post in re: FINLAND site!

normabyrd said...

LOLLY---What time did your boys wake up?---dawn??? ho! That's what mine used to do---then they would sometimes get cranky in late afternoon!!!---Don't you LOVE 'EM!!

stronghunter said...

Must say goodbye for awhile. Have to get something done. Have enjoyed chatting. BBL.

normabyrd said...

SHIRLEY---I had posted that post for you on the other thread---PAULA brought it over!!---This has always been my FAVORITE site---& for some reason--couldn't get it last year!!---NOW WE HAVE IT!!---The other nests were better--(remember this one went through the bad storm)---& seems to be a wee bit out of shape!!-----

Lolly said...

Oh, I have taught those boys....DO NOT WAKE UP GRANDMOIMMY! LOL Joseph said he woke up at 6 something and Jacob he said woke up at 7. I got up about 7:15 and had not heard a sound. Good boys!

However, while I was in the bathroom getting dressed they woke up Grandaddy by attacking him. LOL

stronghunter said...

Yes, I do thank you Paula and Norma. I have wondered about the leafless trees. Maybe they haven't leafed out that far north?

Lolly said...

Joseph is already eating me out of house and home. He has had left over steak and leftover baked potato. LOL Oh, then he found the bacon left over from topping the baked potatoes. Jacob did not finish his cereal and then wanted vanilla wafers. Would not let him have them. Mean Grandmommy!

Going to make them banana nut bread this morning. They love it!

stronghunter said...

It looks like there are green trees in the far distance, but maybe they are evergreens.

normabyrd said...

DANA---Checked the DONKEY SITE for you this morning-- ho!--There is a PACE this am---but not as many as yesterday!!---postive thoughts & love to you & ED this am!!---GOD BLESS!!

normabyrd said...

SHIRLEY---Another note on FINLAND!!a couple of years ago--there were 2chicks---1 died---& a man climbed all the way up to the nest & removed it---we also saw a deer or two---It is fascinating!!

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Flag Day How well I remember and I guess I always will. Just wanted to stop by and share a link to some special kind of memories. Some of us are on year 1 of this journey others year two or 3 but we all have connections to a nest in a sycamore tree there in WV. Many of us have some very special connections to a time and place called Flag Day June 2006. And all Americans know there freedom comes at a tremendous price. Our country faces a storm like many of us have never seen in our lifetimes. But we have watched the eagles rise above the storm. They have taught and continue to teach so very much to those who watch and listen. This is a link for all"Spunky kind of Americans"

hedgie said...

If anyone can capture a pic of the 3 chicks, please send to Suzanne! That will really make her Monday morning! I'll try but can't sit watching for any length of time! TY!

normabyrd said...

LOLLY---I am enjoying hearing about your AWESOME grand-kids!!---Aren't they fun!!---since mine moved to FL--when they were up last time--I LET THEM DO ANYTHING THEY WANTED TO DO!!! ho!---

stronghunter said...

Hedgie, I do not know how to copy from this site. Help me. I saw the three heads for just a moment, but there were definitely three.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' GLO!!!---GIVE me 10 swats with a wet noodle!!!!!!---since retirement--never know the date!!-----OF ALL OUR FUN TIMES!!!---This really stands out as the BESTEST!!-----FLAG DAY!---OUR FAVORITE EAGLET OF ALL TIMES "SPUNKY" FLEDGED!! Where is SHARON?

stronghunter said...

I think I figured out how to copy an image. Now to figure out how to send it to someone. I'm using my work laptop, and it wants to connect to the work e-mail that I can't get at home.

stronghunter said...

If I get anything good, I could always save it on a flashdrive and put it on my other computer, or, send it from work on Monday. I am lucky to get to use this laptop. I am going to have it all summer.

Lolly said...

Time to make beds, etc. The boys are in the workshop out back with Grandaddy. Joseph is building a birdhouse. ☺ Jacob is just hammering nails.

Finally got Jaoob to eat some toast. Whole wheat toast..cut in triangles, one with Raspberry jelly and the other with Strawberry. LOL

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Have to get ready to go to Mom's...will see all you fine people later tonight...have a great day!

glo said...

Oh Norma If I could be there I would wrap my own noodly arms around you with big hugs for lots of special moments, thoughtfulness and grace. That is how I see Norma.

stronghunter said...

Hi Lolly, my 8 year old grandson had a wonderful time eating strawberries dipped in chocolate yesterday. Messy, and I probably should have put less chocolate in the bowl, because he ate every bit of it, but he enjoyed the strawberries.

Even the older kids like those dipped strawberries. One of my 18 year old seniors wanted to eat the rest of the strawberry dip after the berries were gone. It wasn't chocolate, but too sweet for most of us to want to consume half a container. I cringed and said no--didn't need anyone getting sick. Boys don't grow up much.

normabyrd said...

OOOOH GLO!---You are too kind!!----We all have shared so many--many good times together---I do get close to tears when I remember the 'SPUNKY' days!!!--stay COOL!!

ps-- i think i love you!

normabyrd said...

Safe journey PAULA---will keep you in my thoughts----if ELKINS Bill shows up---will send him over! ho!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning Everyone! I have been reading comments while I start my day! Flay Day 2006 - Thank you so much Glo for that very special reminder! I'll just never forget it!

Today I am going to a afternoon Dance Recital and enjoy watching my 4 yr old tap/ballet ggd Alexis! I'll let you know how she does - Well I just know she will be fabulous in my eyes!

normabyrd said...

WHOA! SHIRLEY---You are a 'softy' too---when it comes to grand-kids--nothing in the WORLD is better than GRAND-KIDS!!!

Mema Jo said...

The Finney Land nest - adult just flew out...... can't yet see any of the chicks.

Mema Jo said...

Oops! Yepper - I see 2 right now.

Mema Jo said...

There are 3 for sure!
Just saw 6 little eyes looking straight at me

Mema Jo said...

Mom Osprey has returned
WOW! She is off in flight again

Mema Jo said...

Back again and all 3 looking up as to say "Where's the food"

hedgie said...

Saw all three in Finney, but can't capture it...drat. Wonder how Suz does it???

stronghunter said...

I can be pretty soft, I'm sure. When I gave him the dip, I didn't really think about the fact that he would have to make sure every centimeter of the strawberry was chocolate-covered. First thing I did was get him a fork.

stronghunter said...

Finney bird left nest again. I got some images that might show three heads. Now to figure out the next step.

Mema Jo said...

Hedgie - I can't capture it either.

Wonder what time Deb gets in from CA?

Mema Jo said...

Shirley if you got some images - you did better then I did! lol
Did you save them in a program somewhere?

normabyrd said...

WHOA!!---JO!--I know who will be the 'MOST FABULOUS OF ALL!!---have FUN & don't whistle when you applaud!!!!------ho!

Mema Jo said...

ROFLMBA NORMA

My teeth might fly out of my mouth if
I whistle!

I'll just holler real loud and give her a WHoo HOoo !

stronghunter said...

I looked at what I saved and I think I just saved the link. I am just figuring out how to capture images from this site. Guess I don't have it yet.

Mema Jo said...

All of you take care - I'm headed to the shower -

Shirley can you attach any of your Finney Land captures to an email?


BBILW before I leave around 1:00...

stronghunter said...

When I look at what I got, I just see the adult on the nest. I think I just captured a live link to the site. I did see three babies again. I am sure of that. I will have to figue out how to capture a picture. I know how to copy and paste from "file." I also tried left-clicking, but didn't get a copy option. What else do you do?

stronghunter said...

Will keep experimenting.

hedgie said...

Glo, you've been a stranger again!! Nice reminder of your special day....I was 2 yrs. too late, but love reading and watching about it!
Jo....how do you do a capture off Finney? Want Suz to see the 3 little ones when she first gets to work!

stronghunter said...

Three little heads being fed now.

stronghunter said...

I am trying to capture. But do not know what I am doing.

paula eagleholic said...

I got some pics for Suz....will try to send them out later...

hedgie said...

Thank you, dear Paula!!! Knew you could and would, but thought you were already gone!! Safe trip.
Think Deb is due home around 6 her time if I remember correctly.
Gotta go get ready to leave for groceries. See all y'all later this afternoon. Enjoy this beautiful day!

stronghunter said...

Thanks Paula. I am still in video confusion. I may figure this out, but it was beautiful to see.

stronghunter said...

Must do some chores.

normabyrd said...

OSPREY MOM---off nest--see little ones!

normabyrd said...

SHIRLEY---wish I could help--but I can't do it either---sorry--

Mema Jo said...

Norma before you go to Get Food -
Check out the Flamingos

normabyrd said...

Thanks JO!---Aren't they AWESOME!-----But I have forgotten---why are they moving the soil?

stronghunter said...

I got pictures because I was able to print them. Now to figure out what to do next. They have to be in there somewhere because I transferred them to my printer.

Mema Jo said...

Norma - the mud piles are the nest with the large white egg in the center.
When they stand - you will see the egg.
They incubate for about 30 days it says. Remember last year when they hatched - then the chicks all group together

normabyrd said...

YEP! JO---I just googled & it all came back to me!---ho!---Thanks so much--I haven't watched them as much this year----w/start!--

Mema Jo said...

Shirley- don't be discouraged but the right mouse click on PRINT just transfers it to a printer that you chose....doesn't really save it anywhere (I don't think)
Paula will be able to explain the procedure to us and how she got a pic to send by email to Suz.

normabyrd said...

JO!---Need to delay FOOD this am---I need to go to pharmacy---hunting 'i-tune cards'---Isn't it cool we (on the blog) know each other's habits!---ho!---

Lolly said...

Hi all! I'm back! Beds are made and two loaves of banana nut bread are in the oven.

I think Paula and Deb have special programs to take and save pictures and videos.

Mema Jo said...

I can smell that bread, Lolly! Yummy!
I am out of here now to the recital..
Will check in upon my return..

I've been watching OK eaglet - he did eat in the nest and he is exercising big time. Won't be long! Both cams are up which makes it for good tracking of him!

BBL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good afternoon to all my eagle buds!

Mits said...

have not read this blog yet, but for the new people to help you clarify the osprey nests are in Finland, not Norway, the language is Finnish, a few of us have been watching this for years, we call the LAND NEST FINNEY'S SO AS NOT TO CONFUSE PEOPLE WHO WATCH IT,IT IS NAMED AFTER THE ONE SURVIVING OPSPREY A FEW YEARS AGO , the WATER NEST IS FINLAND....usually in off season the sea eagles reside there.....so hope that helps you know which nest is which......LAND NEST IS FINNEY'S.....WATER NEST IS FINLAND:):)

NatureNut said...

Good Afternoon Everyone in Eagleland!!!!! Finished dwnlding Greece pics yesterday, but last batch was out of order, so spent most of afternoon getting them in order. N0o other editing done yet! Oh well--another day.
Vid cam capture takes SEVERAL 'puter steps that I saw compiled a year ago by Skipper on the Hancock blog. Sent to Suz as I know she loves Finney. Or you can buy a capture program. I tried one, but it was a bust & not recommended, so I removed it.

NatureNut said...

Been seeing a very sunny MT nest so far today.
Lolly, you must have cooler weather or good AC to be baking bread!! My daughter near Austin has been chilling this weekend & watching taped TV shows!

NatureNut said...

Thx Glo, from long ago this AM. I saved the "Spunky" vid in My Faves. It is great!! I play it on 4th of July too! ☺
Gotta try & do some reg. work around here :>( BBL

stronghunter said...

Well, I have printed beautiful pictures of the little babies. Then, I scanned them into my work computer and can see them, but this is my work laptop and I can't access my messaging system there from home.

I am going to take a break. I did read your messages about Norway and Finland.

Mits said...

also some of us have the blog comments come right to our email address, and makes reading the blog a whole lot faster:)

Mits said...

and yes, PAULA is our go to person on this blog, and she also sells some good quality stuff for the nest:)

Mits said...

and if you want decent translations, just download google translate, does a pretty good job at the different foreign sites we go to.

Mits said...

this is the info about the FINLAND OSPREY 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.
"this is the first time in awile they have actually had osprey in this FINLAND NEST and we are missing it...."

Mits said...

off to watch the THUNDERBIRDS:)

magpie said...

Hallelujah Hawaii !

I see you folks have confirmed the three little chickies now at Finney's. Suzanne WILL indeed be most pleased....nest getting dark but when I get off at midnight tonight I will check NCTC first and Finney's Second !

Best wishes to all on all your afternoon activities today, and Prayers for Wellness for our family and friends, and Safe Travel wishes for Deb, Lynn's Mother and sister, and all just catting around locally

xo

magpie said...

Glo

Thank you so much for your reminder of this being Flag Day. Your words are eloquent, inspirational, and so very patriotic.

It is such a joy to be part of this Momsters and Dadsters group, and a real treat to have so many new "family members" (and all the "oldies" too ) sharing their good news and wonder on here too ! ☺

magpie said...

PS - I'd take a wet noodly hug too !

stronghunter said...

Thank you for getting me straight on the Scandanavian countries. I do not know why I was confused.

magpie said...

Shirley!

"Don't cry, Ma, you're singin' Swell."

..an old expression my Mother would use when she thought we were being tough on ourselves. You're right up there in the confusion batch with the rest of us! It goes with the territory...so many cams, so little time...
xoxo ☺ ♥

magpie said...

bubbles and bath time for me....back in a little while..

xoxo

magpie said...

There is a story that goes with that expression, goes back to the depression days in Brooklyn NY where my parents were from...

TFN xo

stronghunter said...

Thank you, Magpie. I am frequently confused about one thing or another. But then maybe that means that I'm exploring new ideas. Can't be that I am getting old . . .

NatureNut said...

Just tried to find a message from Dana--she appeared Friday PM & I want to send my Best Wishes and Prayers for Ed's condition and further tests.
God's Blessings on all who are/will be traveling--Deb, Lolly, Hedgie's fam. & hope all Helen's fam. made it to wonderful OC!

movin said...

Hi, again. A couple of notes:

You can see the chick at BWO easily now.

ZZ is on cam and up front eating bamboo at San Diego.

I think Finney has hatched the third egg too... circumstantial evidence, I haven't actually seen the chick yet though.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

magpie said...

Hey Jim

Read backwards...several of those posting have seen all three !

Great stuff, huh?

Going to work soon, just found out there is a "hostage situation" domestic related in a subdivision in our county....State Police is handling....think it is going to be a very busy shift.

magpie said...

stronghunter
when you get back on...reagarding Finland Water nest....such a shame it is down because the sunrises and sunsets there are so spectacular!

No visions of our little Fledgling today that I have seen written about....


By the way: I hope some of you have been catching the view of waning crescent moon and nearby Jupiter in the early mornings in the East....Moon is rising later each morning it's ootching closer to brighter Venus, which is also close to Mars now, dimmer and more orange but visible. Mercury is around too so we have some four-planet mornings coming up! ☺

magpie said...

feeding at Finney's now - see one big chick sitting up !


Hear a red-bellied WP at NCTC

magpie said...

I hear Hidey !

Mits said...

Shirley, most of us try to keep things straight for the new people

Mits said...

and easy to find too:)

stronghunter said...

Yes, Mapie, I would like to see the Finland water nest.

Just came in from doing a little yard work. Turned up the volume so I might hear Hidey. Nothing yet.

Jim, we did see three little ones in Finney nest. I have a printed picture. They are lined up in front of the parent like little schoolchildren. One is a bit darker than the other two, so it's harder to see, but definitely there.

stronghunter said...

And thanks, Mits, for all of your explanations.

stronghunter said...

Finney parent was feeding the little ones from a large fish.

magpie said...

Okay Showtime !!

magpie said...

Kid's got to learn how to step on those sticks ! Smacked him in the face I think!

magpie said...

another feeding at Finnney's going on now too

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hidey has finally appeared. Didn't have a really graceful landing either, barely caught the edge of the nest! :)

magpie said...

Asking for prayers for safe resolution of serious police call, man holding a woman at gunpoint....
about two miles from where I live...

stronghunter said...

I see Hidey. Either my sound isn't working or s/he's quiet. Just looking around.

magpie said...

some residents in the subd have been evacuated for safety reasons....

I have to leave for work soon, think 25-alive will have coverage at the news hour, also on the computer at www.your4state.com but not much on there right now about it.

Good Sunday afternoon wishes for all, prayers for wellness, and
Welcome Home Deb when you get there! ☺

stronghunter said...

Now, Hidey decided to speak. My sound is working.

magpie said...

He was saying "So Long" Shirley...

stronghunter said...

Hidey took off.

Magpie, that situation sounds very scary. Hope everything turns out okay.

stronghunter said...

Maybe he was speaking to all of us. Seems to know he has an audience.

stronghunter said...

OK bird flopped in nest. Nest cam is working right now. Someone was zooming in and out with the other cam.

magpie said...

So long, friends....off to work now.

xo

stronghunter said...

Bye, Magpie.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

The fluff thief is back!

stronghunter said...

As far as I can tell, the Finney nest is on an island in the northern part of the Gulf of Bothnia. Is that right?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good evening eagle buds! Just wanted to jump on and say Hi! Will check back with ya'll after while, gotta go out for a while. I don't see Hidey, haven't seen her all day, but I have not been checking as often as usual. It has been a lazy day!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I see from reading back that Hidey has been in the nest, I am so glad. It is still a while before she will not come back, isn't it?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

BBIALW!! Have a great evening!

stronghunter said...

Good-bye Sissy.

Mema Jo said...

I have returned home from an extremely long but very fast moving and enjoyable
dance recital! Such a variety of songs and dances from taps to ballet to hip hop to polkas - anything you can imagine they did it. I wish I had all that energy!

Mema Jo said...

The Bear is already at Snowman site - Don't know why I think of seeing him at night! Ms Goose has a bonnet and apron on (I think that is what it is)
Snowman still in Melt Down Mode!

sunny said...

Hey Gang! How's it going? I usually read through some of the blog late at night. I see we've welcomed lots of new eagleholics to the ranks. I was in Shephardstown for lunch today, so I stopped in to say HI to Megan.

I see we've reminisced about our little Spunky from three years ago today!

Hugs and prayers to all!

Lori O. said...

Hey Sunny - I'm Lori...don't know if anyone else in on right now.

Just checking in to see what Hidey's up to and our little high flier isn't in his nest. Must have already had dinner.

Mema Jo said...

I can hear Hidey Peeping!

Mema Jo said...

Hi Sunny and Hi Lori!
Good to hear from both of you.
Sunny - did you go down to the river?

stronghunter said...

Jo, I hear Hidey, too.

Mema Jo said...

Hi Shirley - I wonder if Hidey is going to come down off the limb and let us see our bird! I haven't seen him all day.

stronghunter said...

I'm watching Hidey's nest and the OK eaglet, who is exercising on the bar, also trying to keep George out of my cheese. Might miss something. Hope plenty of folks are watching for me.

stronghunter said...

I think Hidey is about to land.

Costume Lady said...

Hey, Sunny! Glad you popped in and told us about seeing Megan. We haven't heard from her in a few days (thought she was just BUSY), but glad to know she is alright.

stronghunter said...

Hidey really likes to make an entrance! I am waiting for the drama queen.

Costume Lady said...

Hi, Lori, Shirley, Jo, Sissy, Sharon...
I heard that the hostage situation that Margy was speaking of, is still on-going. (Might be old news by now).

Costume Lady said...

HI TO YOU TOO JO! Would love to have seen Alexis dancing...that little meatball:) LOL

stronghunter said...

Yes, I googled and found it on MSNBC's site. As of about 10 minutes ago, it was still going on.

Mema Jo said...

Hi Wanda

I was just trying to find an update but can't - I've been thinking about that situation. Horrible when someone 'snaps' unexpectedly and you have to use force sometimes to get things back to normal.

sunny said...

Jo, we didn't go kayaking today, but did go down to see how high the river was. A couple of feet higher than normal, but not too bad. We went to the Mountain State Arts Festival. Saw lots of really neat stuff.

I've been hearing Hidey peeping, but havent seen anything.

Mema Jo said...

Hidey is a big tease - peeps a lot!
Really should be flopping down into the
nest soon......

stronghunter said...

Jo, I can't copy a link, but I Googled Martinsburg hostage and found a story.

stronghunter said...

They are keeping some people from going home.

Mema Jo said...

You all would have love this! - All the performers were grouping on the stage (about 80+ dancers) Front row was Alexis' group! All of a sudden we see this hand waving and waving and waving! She spotted all of us and so we all waved right back at her - Then she blew us a kiss and kept bowing and bowing to all the applause!

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Shirley - I just didn't know the correct words to google...

stronghunter said...

Spidey is starting up.

hedgie said...

Shirley, not sure where Finney nest is. From what I learned the Finland by water nest is near Turku University at Turku, if I remember correctly, and I didn't think it was an island, but looks out over the fjord. It looks like it is on the SW corner of the country (west of Helsinki) when you look at the map.

Groceries all put away....what a trip that was! $550 later.....argh! had a good lunch out, tho', with eldest.

Travelers have settled for the night.

Mema Jo said...

I can see the web starting also

Mema Jo said...

It is quite light out even though it is almost 9 pm here...

stronghunter said...

I am not sure I got the right place. I used Google Earth (free download if you don't have it) and entered some of the words I found among all the Finnish at the site and that is what it showed, but I have a serious language problem, so I really do not know.

stronghunter said...

Anybody who does not have Google Earth would enjoy it. You might even find your own house. I found mine. You can go to street view and just go right down the street.

stronghunter said...

http://earth.google.com/

Costume Lady said...

I would loved to have seen your little "IMP", Jo. Those are the kind of things that makes those recitals and plays so enjoyable!
I think I love her:)!

stronghunter said...

Jo, Alexis is your grandchild? Sorry, you have probably said, but I am still trying to keep everyone straight. Haven't started on my cheat sheet yet.

Mema Jo said...

I will keep you all posted as to the arrival of my Germany Gang! It could be as early as this Tuesday
WHOO HOO

Mema Jo said...

Night light is on Hidey! Time for bed!

We just may have an MT nest tonight!

stronghunter said...

Getting all kinds of views on the OK camera. Somebody is moving it all around.

Mema Jo said...

Shirley - I am blessed with 7 Great grandchildren from 3 mos to 8 yrs.
There are 3 boys and 4 girls. Two are over in Germany (Grandson-In-Law is Army) 4 are in Hedgesville WV where Lynn lives and 1 is right here in Frederick MD (that is Alexis 4 yr old.
She is the one who loves meatballs more then the spaghetti!

stronghunter said...

That is wonderful, Jo. I have one grandchild right now. The potential is there--I have four children.

Mema Jo said...

The OK eaglet looks as large as the adults! I only have the wide cam open
Did you have the nest cam opened?

stronghunter said...

The wide cam. It is back to aa more normal view now, but it was zooming in and out and showing the sky and the shore. I can tell you that the nest isn't so far from the shore on the side the camera is on. It almost looked like a child was playing with the camera.

stronghunter said...

Looks like Hidey might not make an entrance after all.

I think tonight we will have Hidey perching up on the branch to sleep.

OK eaglet is lying down in the nest now.

Mema Jo said...

Standing now and walking
May be leaving

Looks that way, Jo. I expect it's a nearby branch, though.

Mema Jo said...

Woods is full of raccoons this evening.

stronghunter said...

Yes. It sleeps flopped down sort of the way Hidey sometimes does--or at least did. Guess Hidey's perching like a grown-up bird tonight.

Jo, I'm so glad your leg has healed and you can pick up and hug those beautiful grandaughters when they get home!

Hmm, I wonder what that light was off in the distance at Pa. Woods?

Mema Jo said...

This broken leg episode really amazes me ... (bang don't knock on wood) Not so much the healing as to the Doctors ability to do the surgery he did and I just have NOT had pain and much if any discomfort. I have to remember that that pin/screws are in there and not to JUMP TOO HIGH or RUN TOO FAST!

Costume Lady said...

LMBO, JO!

Costume Lady said...

Can't wait til we can go to the airport and set off those machines;)! LOL

Mema Jo said...

I'm thinking that I see 3 osprey chicks in the nest on Wild Watch Cam.

I wish DEB were here to tell me 2 or 3!
Hope she has a safe journey home and will soon be unlocking her door to her home!

Mema Jo said...

Too bad I'm not the one to be going to pick up the Ger Gang at BWI!
I keep forgetting to ask my daughter what she does when she goes through Airport security with her ankle plate and screws!
I bet I would need to take a DR certificate with me! lol

Costume Lady said...

You really got through that ordeal with so much grace and dignity and healed so quickly...you truly had your Guardian Angel with you:)

Mema Jo said...

I missed the light in the woods -
Are you sure it wasn't the glare of an animals' eye?

deb said...

I am home, tired and glad to be home.

Costume Lady said...

Ankle plate due to a broken bone?

Costume Lady said...

WELCOME HOME DEB!!!
We have missed you soooo much:)
