You're welcome! Leo (my whire shepherd) & I went on a hike this morning and the humidity did us in. We got home & I took a nap and i just turned on the computer.
Went to check out the new Wegmans grocery store. Supposed to be the biggest Wegmans in the country. It's about the size of a shopping mall.
Don't know why they built such a huge store here in Fredericksburg, but it was crowded. Things were hoppiin'. I spent most of my time just looking around.
Shirley, my sis went to a Wegman's in northern VA last week w/ a friend and was very impressed. We looked online to see where they were closest to ast. Louis.....NOT! Only NY, NJ, PA, MD, and VA:
State MD (1) NJ (7) NY (48) PA (12) VA (5) Region Buffalo Area (11) Finger Lakes (6) Maryland (1) New Jersey (7) Pennsylvania (12) Rochester Area (18) Southern Tier (4) Syracuse (9) Virginia (5)
We are getting a Harris Teeter in Martinsburg---supposed to open next month.
Harris Teeter--That is supposed to be a very nice store, too.
I'm just happy that I remembered my coffee. I was completely out; had to stop for some iced coffee at McDonalds before I could go on. It gave me the required boost.
Of course, they serve all kinds of food at Wegmans, but McDonalds was okay.
I just hope this community will support this store. Being near I-95will help, but maybe a risky time to open up a fancy grocery store. They obviously gave lots of people jobs.
Co-workers have been feeding a couple of stray cats at the office, and the other night, we had a raccoon visit as well, now we have not been seeing the cats as often....
Sharon picture is adorable. Did you take it or did Justin get it? Lynn our Wegman's is about 20 miles from us. We are suppose to get a Harris Teeter in fall 2010 but they have stopped building on that site. That is only a quarter of a mile from me. I was looking forward to it.
I'm thinking the same thing about H-T here, Shirley. Just doesn't seem like this is quite the upscale community that they think it is! But it is right off I-81, which MAY help. Sharon, your flickers are adorable!
Got me a week off in mid-July - going to plan an Amtrak trip to Western Massachusetts to visit my sister, planning on taking the grandson along! She has rose-breasted grosbeaks up there, and purple finches - and Black Bears !
I am caught up on the blog. I took a few pictures, Margy, but the wind came up and I really didn't get to see much. I did see a Flicker, but it was on the ground, not in a nest. I saw a head poking out of a Bluebird house. I think it was a House Sparrow. I will download the pictures pretty soon.
I saw lots of baby geese, maybe I should say teen-age geese, three baby Grebe's. I am waiting for the picture to load to see what kind they were. I hope it turns out, they wouldn't come close.
Hi Margy & everyone else. I was checking the Black stork cam in Estonia last night & they haven't recorded seeing Padis (male) since May. Boo..They have lots of lovely picture links on their news page. I was in awe seeing the trees blowing at the nest when you consider how far away that is----N. of Greece!!! Speaking of that---friend of mine came over to get something I bought her there & sat at 'puter to look at pics for about 1 1/2 hours!!! I haven't begun to figure out how to put them in web album. I want to start w/one of those digital pic frames I got for Xmas.
Gotcha there, Loretta. I need to take a whole day and do nothing but try to figure out how to manage pictures better...I just don't understand all the options.
I work 6 to midnight, Lynn...then have a day off, then one on, then one off, switched with someone, crazy schedule this week. But I have the evening of July 1 off ☺
Hi Margy. I saw that. Hope you have a great trip. I have gone to Boston by train when son lived there. Beautiful scenery especially in Connecticut. What route do you take? Hi Skylar. Sorry you had to leave before we could say hello. Pretty name.
Ceil My brother has a place near New Haven or Hartford CT, and would take us from there to Western Mass, but he is in Florida now and might not be back by then...we will be going to Sprinfield, in Western Mass so won't go to Boston...
Tried to open up Yahoo Eaglet program and everything shut down!
Gotta check the oven---- Hope you have a quiet eve, Margy. Your trip sounds great! I've only been to Vermont in NE. Lovely even in August. Later---hearing din din squeals!!!
Okay, Margy...caught up and got my answer! Hi, Skylar!! Which Black Stork nest do you have, Loretta?? The one I have has really changed in the last couple of weeks...give me a link, please!!
Job done. Miss Cinnamon managed to sneak her way out around my legs and a bag....luckily, I had the truck out to haul everything out to road...she thought that meant a bye-byes ride, so she stopped at the truck---I opened the door and she stood still for me to lift her in. Ha,ha,ha....brought her right back in the house. She doesn't like me now. (Where have we heard that phrase before?? LOL)
I think they have changed Ms Goose's outfit at least 3 times within the last 2 days. She had patriotic - then rain gear and now her dressy dress and bonnet.
I took a quick weekend trip to New York this weekend! I stayed with Deb (Harpo) and her hubby Gary and dog Trinity on Long Island! Jeanne from upper New York State came also! We met up with Carole (Naturegal) from the CHIL forum from Canada. She and her hubby were visiting his sister on Long Island. They were about 15 minutes from Deb and Gary, so when I found out she was visiting, I made the trek up to meet her in person. I've been talking with her for 3 years on the CHIL forum, what a lovely really nice, fun and sweet lady she is! And her husband just cracked everyone up.
We went out to dinner last night, had a great evening. Puttered around Long Island today, and came back this afternoon. It was a long trip, but as you know, it is always fun to meet up with other eagleholics, it's such a special bond! I didn't want to post anything on here beforehand, as it was surprise for Carole that I was coming up to visit.
Hope everyone here is doing well, I'm not caught up on the blog at all!
Just back. Checked OK nest and eaglet was on bar above nest and adult flew in to join him/her. I put their pic on blog. Lynn, sorry I wasn't on when you asked about black stork. If you check Beakspeak, it's the one at Kurepesa in Estonia.I have it on now--MT nest, but beautiful singing birds in woods.It's on WMP & you can minimize it to deskbar and hear all the sounds! I love it! Which one are you watching?
Good evening everyone. I just got home from the ER with Justin and Becky. A neighborhood kid beat Justin up. He has a gash on his scalp, road rash on his back and head, scraped up elbow and scraped knee. Pressing charges tomorrow. I hate it so bad.
Loretta,that is the black storm cam that I keep an eye on. Where do you find the info about it? Like I said earlier today, the nest has changed...it is much more kempt and edges more built up---like a small fort! Maybe they work in the dark!! Will try to keep a closer watch to see if I see the birds. Prayers for Ed and for Dana, too, as they go through tomorrows procedure. Paula, sounds like a fantastic weekend. Bet Carole really was surprised!! Maybe she will come surprise us in Oct.!! NOW we understand the secrecy.....shucks, no special guy involved!! Hope everyones' week gets off to a great start. Prayers and hugs for all.
OMG, Sharon....just saw your note. That is terrible. Poor Justin....hoping he is okay. MOST DEFINITELY, file charges!! And I hope Justin gave as good as he got! Justin, hurry and get to feeling better!!
Glad that Paula got on and that we heard about her fantastic weekend.
Sharon, I am very upset about Justin. It is so hard to learn that the world out there is not kind or fair at times. We try to teach them understanding and compassion but others don't seem to know what that means. (((hugs to Justin)))
Justin is going to stay with me tomorrow so I will make sure I tell him you all are thinking about him. He didn't have the opportunity to fight back and this kid was huge. We told the cops where they lived and they name his father right off. Crack dealer! It just hurts my heart when he cries.
Outrageous, Sharon I am so very sorry to hear of this terrible injustice against our little pal and your precious nephew. I know you are not on the Blog now, but my heart, hugs and special thoughts go out to you and Justin and all affected by this. I hope you can hear my whispers in the night.
I've just been spending some of my stimulus money on some American made clothes, which you can find, still or again, on-line. Hope it's stimulating enough to help prime the economy's pump.
I don't see a lot of cam action right now... Finney's is on-line and sunlit, but the chicks are sleeping and almost invisible......
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!!---GUESS who is sitting quietly in her nest!!!!---OUR---BEAUTIFUL--INTELLIGENT 'BABY'---bet she is waiting to be fed???---LOVE THE LITTLE IMP!!!
CONGRATS!--NORMABYRD---You are our #1 EAGLE MOM---today & every day!!----GOOD MORNING---'HEIDY aka MIRACLE!---Guess we need to catch up on the blog!!---
WHOA! PAULA--guessed wrong on you too!!---thought you were attending the GREEN CONFERENCE at NCTC---Bet you had a great time in the 'BIG CITY!---WONDERFUL you got to meet some friends!!!
I reckon they are still asleep out there Norma, haven't heard a peep. It really is awful. Those people have been a menace to our neighborhood since they moved in and we can't get anyone to do anything. Maybe if Becky presses charges, it will help, but I don't know. We try so hard to teach our kids to get an adult when something happens but Justin was just trying to protect a helpless dog.
Where is ELKINS BILL?---We haven't seen him this am!---If you are still working at the DAVIS CENTER--you will have an extra HOLIDAY this week---Fri!--since holiday is on Sat----Gov is giving Fri off!!---(nice work if you can get it)-----ho!
Good morning all. Stopping in to say hope Ed's test turn out fine and hope Justin heals quickly. Off to get a cup of tea. Finally heard from my son they are in Hong Kong.
SHARON---I feel so sorry for JUSTIN!!----I just told SISSY earlier--seems there is always one BULLY--who has to show how 'DUMB' he is---possibly gets knocked around at home!!--keeping JUSTIN in my thoughts & prayers!!!
Good morning HIDEY! So nice to see you again finally! Good morning all, just checking in to see the babies since I was gone all weekend. Have errands, be back later to catch up. Hope everyone is fine and had a great weekend!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE... Sharon, I love that picture! How many times in our lives would we be able to see such a sight? Lucky you:) Heart aches for Justin. I wonder how many times the BULLY has threatened him before this happened. It is over now, and after the police get done with him, I doubt it will ever happen again. Is the puppy OK?
SHARON--It is in BOONE CO & CNN was broadcasting from a restaurant there----re:--mt top mining!---there was a pic in CHARLESTON GAZETTE---showing a St Trooper arresting DARYL HANNAH during a mt top mining protest!!---HE IS PUTTING HER IN THE "FRONT SEAT' of the car!---ho!
Remember the little girl I requested prayer for with lymphoma?Her name is Kendra Bowman. They have put in a Port-A-Cath and are giving her chemotherapy. Becky said she is stage 4. Please pray for this little girl and her family. You just never know!
Today Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 80s. West winds 10 to 15 mph. » ZIP Code Detail Tonight Partly cloudy in the evening...then mostly cloudy with a slight chance of showers after midnight. Lows around 60. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent. Tuesday Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs around 80. West winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40 percent. » ZIP Code Detail Tuesday Night Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows in the upper 50s. West winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40 percent. AMEN;)
Temps for today aren't too bad, Helen, but that chance of rain isn't very promising..our gardens really need rain. Guess I'll have to drag out the dreaded hose;(
Norma I had an only son and he was tiny. I went after the bully's and threatened them. Left him alone. Could have gotten into a lot of trouble. One time in school one tried to trip him down the stairs. Teacher caught him. Made him stay inside. I used to be a lunch mother. One day two boys got into a fight. One went to kick the other one. My leg got in the way. Saw stars.
I am so proud of my #2 grand-kid--MADDIE---Her church asked for volunteers to go to S. FL for a week---to help the folks clean up from a VERY BAD STORM!!-----(sorry--i know i am bragging---but i'm proud)
Has anyone heard from LOLLY the last couple of days?---I wondered how hot it had been where they are! She mentioned how different it was sleeping 7 & sleeping 2!---bet they are having FUN!---They take such cool trips with grandkids!--
After the break up of my grandson's parents, his father would insist that the little one would grow up Angry! THAT is NOT going to happen if this grandma has anything to do with it !
The Great One sees everything and will watch out for the little ones...with OUR help.
I hope everyone is set for a good day today !
Story in our local paper about a young man who has had tours in Iraq and now is stationed in Germany. Reminded me of Mema Jo's Patrick ! Wonder if they know each other....
I saw where Darryl Hannah and former WV rep Ken Hechler and about 30 other were arrested in Southern WV for a Mountaintop Removal Protest! Way to go, I would like to be arrested for that kind of protest ! At this age, what would a little criminal history do to hurt me?
-The grand-kids (3) are coming to MD & I hope WV for a mo (7/4) with their DAD!!--both parents remarried---That leaves 2 grand-kids at home!!----DAVIN does a wonderful job--teaching & 5 kids too!---
MARGY---I mentioned that earlier this am!---Shows a pic of the WV ST TROOPER putting her in his car---'FRONT SEAT'---ho!---There was also a scientist from NASA I think protesting too!!
Norma, I used to have a bully after me for years. When I was in grade school, my Mother made all my clothes and they were very pretty. Well this bully would push me down everytime she got a chance, to get me dirty, because she was jealous. I was scared to death of her...Finally, one day I got tired of her threats and punched her as hard as I could. She went home crying and told her Mother that I hit her with a rock. Maybe she thought I did, because I hit her so hard...but she never bothered me again;)
Learned overnight that Amtrak is upgrading the Northeast Corridor rail lines and my train might not go all the way to Massachusetts, have to go on-line to check. Oh well, there are always buses and other ways to put the last part of it together....
Hey, where is Megan ? I want to hear the latest on flowers, birds and critters !
And Justin is such a little feller. Donna worked really hard to try to get him over 100 pounds. I was looking at him last night and his belly pooches a little and I told him DoaDoa would be so proud of that.
He tries so hard sometimes to act so tough and then when he is here, he will watch The Land Before Time.
SHARON---I am so glad you are there to give him MANY HUGS--You all have such a close loving family---I know I have told you before how much I envy you folks!!

Thanks Gabriela. I was away from the computer.
Thank you Steve
Thanks for giving us a new thread and thanks Gabriela for signing on when you did and alerting us!
Very calm afternoon..
You're welcome! Leo (my whire shepherd) & I went on a hike this morning and the humidity did us in. We got home & I took a nap and i just turned on the computer.
thanks for the call over, Gabriela, and new thread Steve.
what is the Sc3 conference, Steve?
Thanks for the call-over, Gabriela, and for the new thread, Steve. Enjoy your conference.
Sun is finally out! Bet it will start warmimg up now.
Thanks, Steve!! Thanks Gabriela!
Trying to get the house in some sort of order for the upcoming work week. I needed a week to catch up after a week's vacation! It is good to be home.
Looks like the Black Stork nest is finally getting activity. Fabric pieces are gone, and definite nestorations obvious. Maybe there's hope there yet!
I hear Hidey in the tree above the cam, at least I think it is Hidey!
I hear Hidey too.
Good afternoon all!
Hidey has really been vocal today.
Went to check out the new Wegmans grocery store. Supposed to be the biggest Wegmans in the country. It's about the size of a shopping mall.
Don't know why they built such a huge store here in Fredericksburg, but it was crowded. Things were hoppiin'. I spent most of my time just looking around.
Nice to see the new thread.
We know that Hidey has good lungs.
I hear Hidey, too! And cam timed out.
Shirley, my sis went to a Wegman's in northern VA last week w/ a friend and was very impressed. We looked online to see where they were closest to ast. Louis.....NOT! Only NY, NJ, PA, MD, and VA:
State
MD (1)
NJ (7)
NY (48)
PA (12)
VA (5)
Region
Buffalo Area (11)
Finger Lakes (6)
Maryland (1)
New Jersey (7)

We are getting a Harris Teeter in Martinsburg---supposed to open next month.
The pic on here are my flicker babies. If you go to my shurnlea blog, you can see it bigger.
Great Picture, Sharon !!
With your "little man" leaving your nest, you can watch these little tykes to keep some smiles on your face..
xo
Loretta! Love your picures too....
Good Cloudy WV Eagle Afternoon to everyone ☺
Harris Teeter--That is supposed to be a very nice store, too.
I'm just happy that I remembered my coffee. I was completely out; had to stop for some iced coffee at McDonalds before I could go on.
It gave me the required boost.
Of course, they serve all kinds of food at Wegmans, but McDonalds was okay.
I just hope this community will support this store. Being near I-95will help, but maybe a risky time to open up a fancy grocery store. They obviously gave lots of people jobs.
Hidey has been in a mood today!
I am home, not quite caught up on the blog.
Co-workers have been feeding a couple of stray cats at the office, and the other night, we had a raccoon visit as well, now we have not been seeing the cats as often....
Precious babies, Sharon. One is hanging upside down so they can all pose for the pic?
Sharon picture is adorable. Did you take it or did Justin get it?
Lynn our Wegman's is about 20 miles from us. We are suppose to get a Harris Teeter in fall 2010 but they have stopped building on that site. That is only a quarter of a mile from me. I was looking forward to it.
Okay Deb if you are home, then that means we will be seeing some new pictures later - maybe??
xoxo Enjoy the rest of your evening!
Hi Shirley, Gabriela, Sissy, Sharon, Hedgie and everyone else still hanging around !
I hear Hidey, would like to see the Kid too..
Sunset? or sunrise at Finney's - seems that the black spot in the view is getting lower....
I'm thinking the same thing about H-T here, Shirley. Just doesn't seem like this is quite the upscale community that they think it is! But it is right off I-81, which MAY help.
Sharon, your flickers are adorable!
Got me a week off in mid-July - going to plan an Amtrak trip to Western Massachusetts to visit my sister, planning on taking the grandson along! She has rose-breasted grosbeaks up there, and purple finches - and Black Bears !
Hi Ceil! you snuck in on me ! Did you see - I am planning an Amtrak trip! Will take local commuter to DC, then hop on the Vermonter to nead North !
I think I will bypass the Metro....
I could hop on it at Shady Grove, but don't think I want to do that right about now.
I am caught up on the blog. I took a few pictures, Margy, but the wind came up and I really didn't get to see much. I did see a Flicker, but it was on the ground, not in a nest. I saw a head poking out of a Bluebird house. I think it was a House Sparrow. I will download the pictures pretty soon.
Just got back & refreshed cam--hear squealing!
Glad you saw the beautiful Moon last night, ☺ Deb
Oh Yay, NatureNut, you're back!
Loved the pictures!
Flickers are the bird of the day!
Sorry about the wind, Deb - but you always capture something of beauty for us!
I bet this where Steve is, I googled it. It is at NCTC.
SC3
Saw your baby flickers, Sharon! 2 boys in that group. Wonder if ours will ever lay eggs!?
Hi everyone in Eagleland.
Have great granddaughter here age 7 trying to find some cams for her to look at.
I saw lots of baby geese, maybe I should say teen-age geese, three baby Grebe's. I am waiting for the picture to load to see what kind they were. I hope it turns out, they wouldn't come close.
hi my name is Skylar I am 7
Thanks for that link, Deb
That sounds great! Would love to be a part of that project!
Hi Dana -
Heron cam is up, but burrowing owl, WW Osprey and LW are not running too good right now.
Finney's is having sunset....that's a pretty sight.
I wish that Hidey would just hop down and not tease us!
Margy if you are here type something back to Skylar please.
Hi Skylar !
I bet you are enjoying the afternoon with your grandparents!
7 - that is a good age! Lots of wonder and excitement - ☺ ♥
Hi Margy & everyone else.
I was checking the Black stork cam in Estonia last night & they haven't recorded seeing Padis (male) since May. Boo..They have lots of lovely picture links on their news page. I was in awe seeing the trees blowing at the nest when you consider how far away that is----N. of Greece!!!
Speaking of that---friend of mine came over to get something I bought her there & sat at 'puter to look at pics for about 1 1/2 hours!!! I haven't begun to figure out how to put them in web album. I want to start w/one of those digital pic frames I got for Xmas.
BWO looks good right now, Mom on the edge and baby in middle of nest
Thank you Margy she had to leave. I'll wrtie down where you wrote this so she can see it the next time.
Gotcha there, Loretta. I need to take a whole day and do nothing but try to figure out how to manage pictures better...I just don't understand all the options.
Sorry I missed the little one, Dana....
I opened up West End and Two Harbors, and got a message that the broadcast is not available any more ? ?
Wow, Finney's IS something & sundown at 11:30 PM!
Guess I better shake a leg and get a few things done around here.
Work tonight just for six hours...
See you all in a little while, while I have computer turned up loud to hear any Hidey alerts ☺
Yes, Loretta, Finney's looks spectacular! Want to see when it starts getting light again....and it will probably do that before I leave for work!
Hey, Margy, are you off tonight?
I work 6 to midnight, Lynn...then have a day off, then one on, then one off, switched with someone, crazy schedule this week. But I have the evening of July 1 off ☺
Hi Margy. I saw that. Hope you have a great trip. I have gone to Boston by train when son lived there. Beautiful scenery especially in Connecticut. What route do you take?
Hi Skylar. Sorry you had to leave before we could say hello. Pretty name.
Just figured out my Sat. to work at Park (every other) will be 7-4! Boo---Oh well, I will be home in eve to watch fireworks at the Mall on TV.
More down news---Fubby was just online & saw that Billy Mays, the pitchman w/black beard, passed at his home! He was loud but personable. He was 50.
Ceil
My brother has a place near New Haven or Hartford CT, and would take us from there to Western Mass, but he is in Florida now and might not be back by then...we will be going to Sprinfield, in Western Mass so won't go to Boston...
Tried to open up Yahoo Eaglet program and everything shut down!
Day is done, gone the sun, at Finney's
tough news about Billy Mays....he could sure pitch a bargain !
Gotta check the oven----
Hope you have a quiet eve, Margy. Your trip sounds great! I've only been to Vermont in NE. Lovely even in August.
Later---hearing din din squeals!!!
We need Steve to give us a spotting report! ☺
Okay, Margy...caught up and got my answer!
Hi, Skylar!!
Which Black Stork nest do you have, Loretta?? The one I have has really changed in the last couple of weeks...give me a link, please!!
Interesting stuff at NCTC. Thanks, Deb!
Think I better go get trash out--I really have alot!! Looks like it's getting ready to dump rain!
I would think anyone near the nest would hear Hidey today. The squealing has been going on most of the day.
Maybe Hidey wants to participate in the meetings going on there.
I've been lurking .. Going out to get some dinner with hubby .. BBILW
Hope we miss the rain ..
Job done. Miss Cinnamon managed to sneak her way out around my legs and a bag....luckily, I had the truck out to haul everything out to road...she thought that meant a bye-byes ride, so she stopped at the truck---I opened the door and she stood still for me to lift her in. Ha,ha,ha....brought her right back in the house. She doesn't like me now. (Where have we heard that phrase before?? LOL)
Arrgh ! The suspense is killing me!
All that noise, and no presence!
Time to make a pea and Split...
See you all, "after midnight ."
xoxox God Bless Us, Every One
I am getting the most interesting sound from my cam, definitely not a bird. Music! Is anyone else getting it??
Ha, it wasn't coming from the cam, forgot I opened a card, duh!!
I reset my cam just as the card opened, it was very dramatic music!
Hidey is in the nest
I just walked into the room and refreshed and there was Hidey.
Don't know how long he/she has been there.
There is the little rascal.
Hi Shirely
Hi Dana.
I see Hidey, too!
Well how about that! I returned in time to see Hidey! That makes me happy
Feeding at Finney's
lol Hedgie - that is funny about Ms. Cinnamon maybe Not liking you!
I was doing a braingame online through AARP...pretty neat.
POOF went Hidey
If that doesn't work
it is
http:/braingames1.aarp.org
The mother at Finneys is giving me that "well what do you want?" look.
Wild Watch Burrowing owls has the Streaming cam up now. I usually can't get it running.....
I think they have changed Ms Goose's outfit at least 3 times within the last 2 days. She had patriotic - then rain gear and now her dressy dress and bonnet.
Anyhow you have the http, it is pretty neat. Gives you a score, tells you what you are good at and that you could move up to a higher #'er it gives.
Dana I will save those Brain games until morning hours - I am more alert then! lol
They really do stimulate the old thought processor!
Dana - What time tomorrow does Ed have his procedure done? Continuous prayers for all - anyone going to be with you as you wait?
Checking out some TV
BBL
Jo we arrive there 8AM so I would guess by 9AM start.
Thank you for prayers ( :
good night all.
Ocean City Germany Gang are safely home! Had a ball - girls loved the ocean. I'll see them tomorrow.
Nite Mits!
BBL
Evening, all!
I'm Back!!
I took a quick weekend trip to New York this weekend! I stayed with Deb (Harpo) and her hubby Gary and dog Trinity on Long Island! Jeanne from upper New York State came also!

Just back. Checked OK nest and eaglet was on bar above nest and adult flew in to join him/her. I put their pic on blog.
Lynn, sorry I wasn't on when you asked about black stork. If you check Beakspeak, it's the one at
Kurepesa in Estonia.I have it on now--MT nest, but beautiful singing birds in woods.It's on WMP & you can minimize it to deskbar and hear all the sounds! I love it!
Which one are you watching?
Well, Paula, that sounds like a whole lot more fun than ARGENTINA;)
Dark in OK, but I can see both are still there.
WOW, Paula! What a wonderful trip!
Congrats to Jo's Germany Gang on their beach trip. How long will they be here?
Prayers and good wishes to Dana and Ed.
Eyes are getting heavy...
Yawning my head off...
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
GOOD NIGHT FROM LOLLY;)
Thanks for the reminder, Loretta...Dana, you and Ed will be in my thoughts and prayers for a good outcome tomorrow and in the days to come((Hugs))
There's a cuckoo calling in Estonia---not my clock, yet!!
Gonna catch the news---
Good Night to all those hitting the hay and prayers for all. ☺ ♥
Good evening everyone. I just got home from the ER with Justin and Becky. A neighborhood kid beat Justin up. He has a gash on his scalp, road rash on his back and head, scraped up elbow and scraped knee. Pressing charges tomorrow. I hate it so bad.
Glad you had such a good weekend Paula. It really is special to meet with our eagle budlets.
I am going to bed now. Hope all is well with everyone. See you in the morning.
Loretta,that is the black storm cam that I keep an eye on. Where do you find the info about it? Like I said earlier today, the nest has changed...it is much more kempt and edges more built up---like a small fort!
Maybe they work in the dark!! Will try to keep a closer watch to see if I see the birds.
Prayers for Ed and for Dana, too, as they go through tomorrows procedure.
Paula, sounds like a fantastic weekend. Bet Carole really was surprised!! Maybe she will come surprise us in Oct.!! NOW we understand the secrecy.....shucks, no special guy involved!!
Hope everyones' week gets off to a great start. Prayers and hugs for all.
OMG, Sharon....just saw your note. That is terrible. Poor Justin....hoping he is okay. MOST DEFINITELY, file charges!! And I hope Justin gave as good as he got!
Justin, hurry and get to feeling better!!
Glad that Paula got on and that we heard about her fantastic weekend.
Sharon, I am very upset about Justin.
It is so hard to learn that the world out there is not kind or fair at times.
We try to teach them understanding and compassion but others don't seem to know what that means.
(((hugs to Justin)))
Good Night to All!
Prayers for everyone's needs being said
((hugs)) ♥
Justin is going to stay with me tomorrow so I will make sure I tell him you all are thinking about him. He didn't have the opportunity to fight back and this kid was huge. We told the cops where they lived and they name his father right off. Crack dealer! It just hurts my heart when he cries.
Sharon, so sorry about Justin. Give him some big hugs!
Jo, glad the kids loved the beach.
Will catch up tomorrow, I'm beat, and the alarm clock buzzes early!
Hugs to all! ♥
Sharon,
So very sorry about Justin. I hope he recovers quickly.
Also best to Ed and Dana.
Judie
Outrageous, Sharon
I am so very sorry to hear of this terrible injustice against our little pal and your precious nephew. I know you are not on the Blog now, but my heart, hugs and special thoughts go out to you and Justin and all affected by this. I hope you can hear my whispers in the night.
xo ♥
Even the nest looks like it is quivering with disdain !
Prayers for the bully too...sounds like he does not have much of a role model in his daddy .
Crack destroys life. No ifs, ands, or buts.
Deb's got some nice new photos on her "Deb's Photos" links...for you night owls who want a treat !
Whadayaknow, a new thread. [:~D]
I've just been spending some of my stimulus money on some American made clothes, which you can find, still or again, on-line. Hope it's stimulating enough to help prime the economy's pump.
I don't see a lot of cam action right now... Finney's is on-line and sunlit, but the chicks are sleeping and almost invisible......
Have a good week.

Good Night Jim...was watching Finney's too trying to count heads - they are so well camouflaged, had heart failure until I could count all three.
Good Night...
Prayers for all the many needs we have here.

SISSY---Was just wondering how JUSTIN is today?--That's is just terrible!!---There is always one 'bully' -- I think it is learned behavior!!---
I reckon they are still asleep out there Norma, haven't heard a peep. It really is awful. Those people have been a menace to our neighborhood since they moved in and we can't get anyone to do anything. Maybe if Becky presses charges, it will help, but I don't know. We try so hard to teach our kids to get an adult when something happens but Justin was just trying to protect a helpless dog.

Finally heard from my son they are in Hong Kong.
MEMA JO----The burrowing owls are out early this am---I enjoy seeing the little head peeping out of the hole---they are a trip!!
Good morning, eagle budlets!
Haven't heard anything from Justin yet but he will be here in a little bit and I will let you all know how he is.
MORNIN' LOVELY CEIL!---Great News--bet you are a 'happy camper' this am!!----ho!
SHARON---I feel so sorry for JUSTIN!!----I just told SISSY earlier--seems there is always one BULLY--who has to show how 'DUMB' he is---possibly gets knocked around at home!!--keeping JUSTIN in my thoughts & prayers!!!

Just found your comment, Normabyrd, about the pic. Thank you very much. And, I have never heard of Fosterville, WV.
SHARON---You can call your pic---
'TOGETHERNESS'----ho!
Good morning everyone...Sharon, please give Justin a hug for me....
I will certainly do that Mits as soon as he gets here.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Sharon, I love that picture! How many times in our lives would we be able to see such a sight? Lucky you:)
Heart aches for Justin. I wonder how many times the BULLY has threatened him before this happened. It is over now, and after the police get done with him, I doubt it will ever happen again. Is the puppy OK?
SHARON--It is in BOONE CO & CNN was broadcasting from a restaurant there----re:--mt top mining!---there was a pic in CHARLESTON GAZETTE---showing a St Trooper arresting DARYL HANNAH during a mt top mining protest!!---HE IS PUTTING HER IN THE "FRONT SEAT' of the car!---ho!
MORNIN' BEAUTIFUL WANDA!!---I agree--nothing worse than a BULLY & they usually they pick on the smaller kids!!
DANA--I forgot to tell you that there are a PACE of DONKEYS out this am---& there is a DARK one too!---have a good--good day!!!!
I think the eagle moms should go to Bluefield and teach this bully a lesson.
EAGLE EXPRESS IS RARING AND READY TO GO, HELEN:)
Ya'll come on down, Mits. We will run em out of the neighborhood on a rail! Wish it was that easy to get rid of them!!
We could beat him up with an EAGLE FEATHER;)
roflmbo....yes Wanda we can do that.
get the WVA State Police after the bully!
I hear Hidey calling in the distance for food;)
Remember the little girl I requested prayer for with lymphoma?Her name is Kendra Bowman. They have put in a Port-A-Cath and are giving her chemotherapy. Becky said she is stage 4. Please pray for this little girl and her family. You just never know!

WILL DO, SHARON
MORNIN' MITS!---We are LOVERS---not FIGHTERS!---ho!
Temps for today aren't too bad, Helen, but that chance of rain isn't very promising..our gardens really need rain. Guess I'll have to drag out the dreaded hose;(
RIGHT!---SISSY---
Sharon, was that the young girl who was due to graduate? I was hoping she would be well enough to walk across the stage and get her diploma:(
OK SISSY, we will love you now, if you promise to take us ALL to the beach next time;)
yes, Norma and I would LOVE to beat the crap out of that bully
SHARON--I have added KENDRA on my prayer list---I have always loved that name!!!---Bless her heart!!
WHOA! MITS!---How many kids did you beat up when your son was growing up!!!---ho!
Sharon or Sissy e-mail me. I want to give you some information. When I got this new computer I lost a lot of the e-mail addresses
none, Norma, but I would have loved to....
Norma I had an only son and he was tiny. I went after the bully's and threatened them. Left him alone. Could have gotten into a lot of trouble. One time in school one tried to trip him down the stairs. Teacher caught him. Made him stay inside. I used to be a lunch mother. One day two boys got into a fight. One went to kick the other one. My leg got in the way. Saw stars.
beautiful afternoon at FINNEY'S NEST
I am so proud of my #2 grand-kid--MADDIE---Her church asked for volunteers to go to S. FL for a week---to help the folks clean up from a VERY BAD STORM!!-----(sorry--i know i am bragging---but i'm proud)
Norma we are always glad to here of the accomplishments of all our relatives.
Ceil
You are right up there with Norma this morning on being a Breath of Fresh Air and Encouragement !
Good Morning Eagle Pals
xo ☺
Has anyone heard from LOLLY the last couple of days?---I wondered how hot it had been where they are!
She mentioned how different it was sleeping 7 & sleeping 2!---bet they are having FUN!---They take such cool trips with grandkids!--
morning sweet Margy:)
Mits the blue thingy for Finney's nest didn't work for me
I better get dressed and started to get things done.
After the break up of my grandson's parents, his father would insist that the little one would grow up Angry! THAT is NOT going to happen if this grandma has anything to do with it !
Hey Margy. I was just wondering where you were. Have a great day all.
no Ceil, I didn't put a tiny url with the blue thing, just put that there to not confuse people about what nest I was talking about
The Great One sees everything and will watch out for the little ones...with OUR help.
I hope everyone is set for a good day today !
Story in our local paper about a young man who has had tours in Iraq and now is stationed in Germany. Reminded me of Mema Jo's Patrick ! Wonder if they know each other....
Thanks for the tip of the raccoons, NormaByrd
And Good M☺rning to YOU, Sweet Mits !
I saw where Darryl Hannah and former WV rep Ken Hechler and about 30 other were arrested in Southern WV for a Mountaintop Removal Protest! Way to go, I would like to be arrested for that kind of protest ! At this age, what would a little criminal history do to hurt me?
-The grand-kids (3) are coming to MD & I hope WV for a mo (7/4) with their DAD!!--both parents remarried---That leaves 2 grand-kids at home!!----DAVIN does a wonderful job--teaching & 5 kids too!---
bet i lost you! ho!
yes Margy, your right at this age, that's why I'd like to go to Bluefield and beat that crap out of the little sucker!
just kidding...
Wanda, Kendra is on 14 years old.
Justin is okay this morning, just pretty sore. One side of his face looks like he was struck with something besides a hand.
MARGY---I mentioned that earlier this am!---Shows a pic of the WV ST TROOPER putting her in his car---'FRONT SEAT'---ho!---There was also a scientist from NASA I think protesting too!!
I think I would like to go after his father first...
Such a sad thing to learn of kids in trouble like this.
Sharon We got a lot of Eagle Emotional Power going for you folks this morning! Can you feel the air waves vibrating ??
xoxo
Yes, Norma..saw that, and it reminded me of a little blurb in the paper Friday morning...!
I always wanted to ride in a police car ! Ho !
By the way, I told Suzanne that you miss her emails....what can we do to get you back on-line with emails ????????
Norma, I used to have a bully after me for years. When I was in grade school, my Mother made all my clothes and they were very pretty. Well this bully would push me down everytime she got a chance, to get me dirty, because she was jealous. I was scared to death of her...Finally, one day I got tired of her threats and punched her as hard as I could. She went home crying and told her Mother that I hit her with a rock. Maybe she thought I did, because I hit her so hard...but she never bothered me again;)
Ceil, you've got mail.
Wanda !
Way to fight back! We might have to come up with a new nickname for you! G☺☺D MORNING!
Norma - I think you did lose me on that last son/grand-kid information, but either way, I hope they make it to Romney!
Dear friend of mine was on a company-sponsored canoe trip to Romney recently ,and saw lots of Eagles!!
Learned overnight that Amtrak is upgrading the Northeast Corridor rail lines and my train might not go all the way to Massachusetts, have to go on-line to check.
Oh well, there are always buses and other ways to put the last part of it together....
Hey, where is Megan ?
I want to hear the latest on flowers, birds and critters !
And Justin is such a little feller. Donna worked really hard to try to get him over 100 pounds. I was looking at him last night and his belly pooches a little and I told him DoaDoa would be so proud of that.
He tries so hard sometimes to act so tough and then when he is here, he will watch The Land Before Time.
Maybe Megan is sleeping in this morning...Yah, right!
Megan needs to go to the beach:)
SHARON---I am so glad you are there to give him MANY HUGS--You all have such a close loving family---I know I have told you before how much I envy you folks!!
