Norma, I am still trying to figure out a way to go to the beach, doubt I could afford a cruise! :) Just need food money for the beach. My dogs are quite the handful, or should I say 4 hands full!
GOOD MORNING ALL, another hot day in GA. I have had an awful sinus/head cold for a week.Baby John shared his with me a couple of weeks ago.. bless his little heart.. Hope all have a great day! thanks for sharing the flamingo webb site.. that is a site to see bfn
Good morning all! Things have calmed down a bit! That is good, have been so busy. Quiet for the rest of the week and then we get Joseph and Jacob for 5 days. Then forget everything! LOL
See OK eaglet has branched. He is up on that crossbar. Won't be long!
Morning eagle dudettes and dudes! How is everyone today? Metro area got hit hard this am! Glad we and the nest were spared!! Intermittant sun and clouds here, getting muggy, but like Wanda said, so far no precip. Lolly, busy days ahead.....those two will run you ragged!!! But know you'll love every minute of it!
fINNEY looks like she might have hatched one. Take a look.
BWO has some pics you can just about see the two chicks this A.M. [:~D]
NBG, which has been down for me, two days I think, is now up again. I spotted two eaglets in and about the nest, but they have even more goop on the lens, so there is quite an area where a fledgling could hide. According to the blog, the third chick (the one that fell out of the nest) was the second one to fledge.
That would be the first eagle nest I've seen that fledged out of order.
Still won't know about Ed's breathing until tomorrow afternoon. He woke up yesterday to go to Wellness Center. Was "red" from head to toe. I figured out it was a reaction to a medication he has taken for awhile. Just waited and it went away within 1 hr. He see's that Dr. Friday so we will ask him why such a delayed reaction.
Had a Great Granddaughter born Monday 2:38am makes 5 Greats for Ed now. She is cute as a button. 6lbs. 19 inches and lots of light brown hair Kloey.
Then we found at 1pm Monday yesterday we are closing a close friend. He and wife are both 73. He had a massive heart attack and now taken off life support. He was healthy between the two of them. Only support is hugs and prayers and visiting with her. SAD...so nice people.
9 June: The eaglet is now old enough to go to the bar. Well, fly up to the crossbar, that is! She (we think it is a she based on size and behavior) is exercising her wings with this short hop. The adults spend very little time at the nest, primarily dropping off a fish once or twice a day.
Laynie, it does look funny, but it is a necessary behavior (mantling), which the young eaglet will need when it leaves the nest and starts competing for food with other birds and animals.
Hidey is only moderately aggressive. One we had at Santa Cruz a couple of years ago would get so fearsome he would almost take his father's leg off before he could drop the fish for the youngster to feed.
Thanks Mits and Paula...most babies are cute. It is neat with this one because the Daddy know I love him. He even tells me he loves me. So I don't care if the baby would just call me Dana. I know I'm special in their lives.
Thanks also about Ed's and my friend. My prayer is that he doesn't linger. That would be easier for her also.
Boy these eaglets are really wanting to soar.
Haven't heard about the fun they had. DIL took ggs and some others to DC National Zoo yesterday. Can't wait to hear what Brayden did (2yrs. old) tee hee
Yes, Mema Jo, my live feed was frozen when your comment made me look; I refreshed it, and now I have a blank gray screen where the sycamore and nest had been.
Just catching up while I take a brief break. Dana, congrats on new baby! Are they local folks?? So sorry to hear about your friend. Prayers for him, but also for her and family and friends. Still cam fine, thankfully---but nobody is home!
Yes Lynn the kids (younger than me lol) are from here. She was born at City Monday 2:39am. 6 lbs 17" long lots of light brown hair. OOOPsss I think I'm repeating myself. duh
Jo hope Kristen gets to see LIve FEED before they leave.
Boo Hoo, live cam down. I thought I would have new news from here at Patuxent River Park, BUT not much. Some people believe all our 3 eaglets have fledged--haven't seen them for awhile and an osprey cam was placed on another nest to the right of the boat ramp. The original cam konked out, however new one is not connecting today. Could be that a muskrat chewed the wire!!??Greg, our naturalist, is checking all options. ☺
SIL's bro just finished up a few last chores...after putting tools away in garage I always have him stomp around in there to make sure there's so birds or squirrels (have had problems with both when garage door left open). Five minutes after he left a big 6 ft. black snake came crawling from direction of garage...yuck! Guess it was underneath it. He was heading off into the woods....so I let him go to live another day! BIG STORM brewing--almost here....shutting down. BBL.
Hello Our Ancient City Traveler! Good to have you back & glad you got your walking feet back!
Cam does look smaller and a different volume control - I think. It is so funny what your memory can or rather cannot remember at times! Like just noticing something that has been there forever!.. Age related I think! or we just need to slow it down a bit!
Dana - congratulations on the ggd- So glad the new one is local for you & Ed. I was able to spend time Sunday with the ggs - he is going to be one big guy! Happy as anything and he smiles a lot!
It is darkening in the sky like night time! The storm is coming over the mountain! I need to make a 4:15 pick up in Frederick so I am out of here ahead of the rains - but of course they will follow me!
Good plan Jo, it's a big line of storms just west of you heading east, strong and moving kinda slowly. Severe thunderstorm warning just issued for the area...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN STERLING VIRGINIA HAS ISSUED A
* SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING FOR... CARROLL COUNTY IN NORTH CENTRAL MARYLAND... FREDERICK COUNTY IN NORTH CENTRAL MARYLAND... WASHINGTON COUNTY IN NORTH CENTRAL MARYLAND... NORTHWESTERN BALTIMORE COUNTY IN NORTHERN MARYLAND... NORTH CENTRAL LOUDOUN COUNTY IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA... EXTREME EAST CENTRAL BERKELEY COUNTY IN THE PANHANDLE OF WEST VIRGINIA... NORTHEASTERN JEFFERSON COUNTY IN THE PANHANDLE OF WEST VIRGINIA...
* UNTIL 430 PM EDT
* AT 350 PM EDT... NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THESE STORMS WERE LOCATED ALONG A LINE EXTENDING FROM 7 MILES NORTHEAST OF TANEYTOWN TO THURMONT TO BOONSBORO... AND MOVING EAST AT 35 MPH.
* LOCATIONS IMPACTED INCLUDE... BRUNSWICK... TANEYTOWN... MANCHESTER... POINT OF ROCKS... BRADDOCK HEIGHTS... WALKERSVILLE... BALLENGER CREEK... HAMPSTEAD... FREDERICK... BALLENGER CREEK...
HAIL FROM PENNY TO HALF DOLLAR SIZE CAN BE EXPECTED... ALONG WITH WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH. STAY INDOORS AND AWAY FROM WINDOWS UNTIL THE STORM HAS PASSED.
So I guess this is there answer to lower bandwidth use, if you aren't at computer, the cam will stop after 15 minutes. And if you are watching, you have to hit play to restart, but it doesn't always work for me and I have to hit refresh.
I don't have any problem with them trying to conserve bandwith...a message letting you know it's stopped or about to is certainly appreciated, however.
Ed's cousins brother is coming into the Lake of the Woods near Fredericksburg,VA. We use to go down more often and stay at the Lake. Only going down for 1 day so we can see Chip he is from California. Works in a hospital out there. Has for years. He is really a great guy!! I'm finding he lives close to our Jim so far.
Dana, Andrea lives fairly close to Jim. In fact, unless something has changed, she is planning on being our Momster representative at Debs' Dad's funeral tomorrow. Jim couldn't make it, and it's 10 hrs. from AnneMarie, tho' she was considering it. Haven't heard anything definite from her.
Still very gloomy here....power went out once, but just for a minute---enough to have to reset digital clocks, satellite, etc.! Temp really dropped. No hail, not TOO much wind, but thunder was really bad. Cam doing alright....Sharons' tip worked great---tg---cause image sure was small! Can't tell any difference in sound.
I don't like the zoom with the right click because it distorts the picture. If I zoom in with my mouse and ctrl key, it keeps a clear pic but makes it bigger.
I just did 2 Zoom In's )1 right after the other) and it really got close for me to see the small bird. You need to place your cursor over the area you want to zoom in on.
Ho Ho! Did any of you click on any of the 'knobs' down by the green barber pole? Man! I clicked on the first one and the green barber pole JUST WON'T STOP RUNNING. So I put it down and restarted in a new window and all is well.
Why do we have those 'knobs' if we don't know what they do? I can work the volume control! Whoo Hoo for me?
Hey everybody! Just got home, been gone most of the day to a dr. appt. and then of course, to Walmart. I see there have been some problems with the cam today. I sure don't like the smaller picture. I always increase my screen size to 150% so I can see it better. Hope everyone is doing well.
MAN! If you accidentally click your cursor along side of or below our cam in the darkened area - WOW! Up pops an all new site which really doesn't interest me! You get a Tripjumper or US Fish & Wildlife videos. Very touchy!!!!
Hi Bibee - 15 min is the way to conserve bandwidth Click on the play button.... And you may need to Refresh after it starts up. Green Barber pole with be there when you first start it.
Wonder if Margy got called into work early due to the storms? Not a word from her this afternoon/evening. Been too busy to pay much attention to scanner. Did hear that there was a river rescue on the Shenandoah just when the storm was approaching CharlesTown...a woman went over the dam and kept under...couldn't get free of the undertow....don't know the outcome. Prayers for her....but what was she doing there to begin with---geesh!
Received an email message from Bobbi down in FL about the Tesoro Eagles that we used to watch before the cam was taken down this season - good news to share with you............
Jo, had to let you know that today I saw a juvie flying over Tesoro it was truly beautiful. First time that I saw a juvie that close. I remember the nest year before last and know that you all had an interest in what was happening. The property was sold and of course the new management did not continue the live camera but thought you would like to know that there were eaglets this year and they survived and fledged and are enjoying their new freedom in the skies. Take care, Bobbi
I DON'T LIKE THIS NEW SETUP !!!!! AND I CERTAINLY DON'T LIKE REFRESHING EITHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I understand what they are trying to do. Other sites have the time out too. But it tells you in so many seconds if you don't click here the cam will stop.
WELL THEY CAN HAVE MY TIME FOR THE NIGHT ---- I SHUT THE CAM DOWN. grrr
well the refreshing doesn't bother me, because I can never keep mine up when I am typing, but shut it down, because it seemed to be acting like a virus and while it was up, everything was crashing on me:(
Evening all. Just got back from PA. I have loved our cam this year from myoutdoortv. Just pulled up the site and do not like it. If I zoom in it distorts the pic. Been a long wonderful day but am going to watch Wheel. If I do not get back. Pleasant dreams.
I think once they get everything tweaked, it will run better. I did send an email to outdoor TV just stating what some of the problems were but not fussing, just saying! :)
Bibee - New Cam Let's work with it & on it! I don't think a protest would be warranted so soon.... It's new but let's hope any kinks will get worked on. Keep reading what others find out about using it since we haven't been given any instructions whatsoever!
Helen, still cam is better than nuttin'!!! That's what I use 99% of the time.....I don't really have too much choice! Only look at live cams for a couple of minutes at a time a few times a day.....don't want the Hughes cops to put me in time-out!
I am enjoying the Burrowing Owls on the Wild Watch site... I wish that I could find that video about the fox trying to attack the one burrow and the little one scaring him off.

By the way, who's Calvin?
:)
Just kidding..
Good Tuesday Morning!
I'm sure Hidey is at fishing school today :)
Norma, I am still trying to figure out a way to go to the beach, doubt I could afford a cruise! :) Just need food money for the beach. My dogs are quite the handful, or should I say 4 hands full!
GOOD MORNING ALL, another hot day in GA. I have had an awful sinus/head cold for a week.Baby John shared his with me a couple of weeks ago.. bless his little heart.. Hope all have a great day! thanks for sharing the flamingo webb site.. that is a site to see
bfn
later--off to work out--
Good morning all! Things have calmed down a bit! That is good, have been so busy. Quiet for the rest of the week and then we get Joseph and Jacob for 5 days. Then forget everything! LOL
See OK eaglet has branched. He is up on that crossbar. Won't be long!
Well, it is a s-l-o-w day!
Going outside! Have a great day everyone!
Morning eagle dudettes and dudes! How is everyone today? Metro area got hit hard this am! Glad we and the nest were spared!! Intermittant sun and clouds here, getting muggy, but like Wanda said, so far no precip.
Lolly, busy days ahead.....those two will run you ragged!!! But know you'll love every minute of it!
Good Morning All!
Bright & sunny today - Great day for the Fishing School to be in progress!
Thinking of Deb on her way to CA. ((hugs)) Oldest daughter is here so I will quickly read earlier comments and enjoy my visit with her.
** GooD MORNING **
** EVERYoNE **
fINNEY looks like she might have hatched one. Take a look.
BWO has some pics you can just about see the two chicks this A.M. [:~D]

That would be the first eagle nest I've seen that fledged out of order.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Guess that fall by the youngest at NBG was inspiring...liked that taste of freedom.
I agree Jim, first time I've known of fledging out of order.
Nice to see NBG back up
And yes, that smushed spider is more smushed.
Good Morning ALL in Eagleland and watchers.
Long time no see....a lot has been going on.
Still won't know about Ed's breathing until tomorrow afternoon.
He woke up yesterday to go to Wellness Center. Was "red" from head to toe. I figured out it was a reaction to a medication he has taken for awhile. Just waited and it went away within 1 hr. He see's that Dr. Friday so we will ask him why such a delayed reaction.

Congrats Dana, on the new GGD, and prayers for your friend.
Adult our nest
Hidey came in and is mantling....parent left!
Hidey eating
Hidey is funny the way he grabs the food from mom/dad and then spreads those wings to "protect HIS food". Tch, tch... stingy little Hidey. lol
Getting my thrill for today!!! Watching with a smile on my face the OK eaglet. It is wingercising and it is just beautiful! Go OK go!
From the OK blog:
9 June: The eaglet is now old enough to go to the bar. Well, fly up to the crossbar, that is! She
(we think it is a she based on size and behavior) is exercising her wings with this short hop. The
adults spend very little time at the nest, primarily dropping off a fish once or twice a day.

Jim
Xi Lan is feeding at Atlanta...
You can see some people watching the operation through the glass.
Do you know why zoos stopped using one-way glass??
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
You can see all three eaglets back at the nest in Norfolk right now.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Movin... thanks for the info!! I figured the aggressive behavior was normal to protect their food, and at some point their kill!
Question... are most Eaglets as vocal as Hidey?
Sorry to hear about your friend Dana.
Congrats on the new GGD!!
They are all vocal when there is food involved! The TH chicks are quite the peepers as well!
Yes, Laynie, if there are multiple eaglets, things often get more noisy and aggressive than Hidey has been.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
HELP
MY CAM IS NOT WORKING
IS IT JUST MINE?
Thanks Mits and Paula...most babies are cute. It is neat with this one because the Daddy know I love him. He even tells me he loves me. So I don't care if the baby would just call me Dana. I know I'm special in their lives.
Thanks also about Ed's and my friend. My prayer is that he doesn't linger. That would be easier for her also.
Boy these eaglets are really wanting to soar.
Haven't heard about the fun they had. DIL took ggs and some others to DC National Zoo yesterday. Can't wait to hear what Brayden did (2yrs. old) tee hee
Prayers are with Deb
It is the LIVE FEED that isn't on for me.
Still cam is on.
Hi Dana
Kristen is still here with me and when
I went to show her the Live Feed - it was down. Is your's up?
Yes, Mema Jo, my live feed was frozen when your comment made me look; I refreshed it, and now I have a blank gray screen where the sycamore and nest had been.
Guess it is down alright, Mema Jo.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
"Eagle cam is temporarily down for maintenance."
I went back to the Home page and reopened the live feed... Got the above message.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Thanks for checking me out, Jim.
I do an email to Steve and to the
Forget it there is a message now
Eagle Cam is temporarily down for Maintenance.
Please check back soon.
Just catching up while I take a brief break. Dana, congrats on new baby! Are they local folks?? So sorry to hear about your friend. Prayers for him, but also for her and family and friends.
Still cam fine, thankfully---but nobody is home!
update from BWO....
Nest Update
06/09/09:
Here's a good shot of our two little osprey chicks being fed. And in this photo you can even see the crop on one chick.
We aren't seeing the third chick, so we're starting to believe it did not make it.
The cam should be up soon. My Outdoor TV is doing some maintenance.
Yes Lynn the kids (younger than me lol) are from here. She was born at City Monday 2:39am. 6 lbs 17" long lots of light brown hair. OOOPsss I think I'm repeating myself. duh
Jo hope Kristen gets to see LIve FEED before they leave.
Hi everyone, just popped in for a Hidey and weather check....looks like a lot of us are in for a bumpy ride shortly so batton down the hatches! BBL
Boo Hoo, live cam down. I thought I would have new news from here at Patuxent River Park, BUT not much. Some people believe all our 3 eaglets have fledged--haven't seen them for awhile and an osprey cam was placed on another nest to the right of the boat ramp. The original cam konked out, however new one is not connecting today. Could be that a muskrat chewed the wire!!??Greg, our naturalist, is checking all options. ☺
Thanks Steve for letting us know. Waiting . . . waiting . . . waiting! :)
thanks, STEVE:)
Hello Loretta! Welcome back!
Hey the BWO female is standing, and I can actually see one of the chicks. It's quite a bit bigger now, and I can see the black line clearly.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
CAM BACK ON...
LOOKS SMALLER?
Hi & Thx, Sharon. Good to be home!
There may be great sights to see elsewhere, but living is so much better here!!!
Dana, sorry about your friend but congrats on new baby in family.Why do we always say NEW baby? I don't think I've seen an OLD baby!! ☺
We had rain & lightning this AM, but now hot, sunny, & humid!
SIL's bro just finished up a few last chores...after putting tools away in garage I always have him stomp around in there to make sure there's so birds or squirrels (have had problems with both when garage door left open). Five minutes after he left a big 6 ft. black snake came crawling from direction of garage...yuck! Guess it was underneath it. He was heading off into the woods....so I let him go to live another day!
BIG STORM brewing--almost here....shutting down. BBL.
Thanks Loretta....have they opened a new store so you can get your Italian food?
Hello Our Ancient City Traveler! Good to have you back & glad you got your
walking feet back!
Cam does look smaller and a different volume control - I think. It is so funny what your memory can or rather cannot remember at times! Like just noticing something that has been there forever!.. Age related I think! or we just need to slow it down a bit!
P.S. Forgot to mention that there are lots of hummingbirds here now & I saw 2 at my home yesterday!
Cam is MUCH smaller. I was hoping it was going to have a record button but it does not. It does look clearer, however.
Lynn he'll keep your mice away.
I can, however, click my mouse anywhere on the page and hold ctrl button and roll my mouse roller up and it zooms in.
Dana - congratulations on the ggd- So glad the new one is local for you & Ed.
I was able to spend time Sunday with the ggs - he is going to be one big guy! Happy as anything and he smiles a lot!
WHOA! CAM LIVE FEED
If idle for 15 min Press PLAY to resume play
There is a large gold rectangular button with PLAY on it - but when I click on it - nothing.
ANYONE ELSE GETTING THE IDLE MESSAGE
STEVE I NEED MAINTENANCE, I THINK
I closed the site and just reopened in new window
WINDY WEATHER AT NEST
Sound is Great!
Poor Hidey, a terrible storm moving in
Must be a storm blowing through NCTC! I had to hit F5 to get my cam to come back up, Mema Jo.
Yeah- some very nasty thunderstorms about to slam into us.
Try refreshing, Mema Jo. Mine doesn't particularly resemble your description; however it is changed a lot since this morning.
It's working for a while, freezing for a while, working for a while....
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
wow, tornado warning in Northeast Cecil CO Md. Storm bearing down on Shepherdstown.
seems to be working steadier now.
Sure is 'blowing up a storm' there.....
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
I didn't think to hit refresh. But just for the record I didn't even have a frozen pic - just the message and a PLAY button.
Just put my deck umbrella down and secured the chairs in case that wind comes over the mountain into my valley!
2 chicks visible at BWO.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
I am sure they made the changes for those of us who put up the cam in the morning and leave it there all day. This will have to save bandwidth.
Suddenly a large black item appeared at BWO. Is it a food item, or what??
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
I think the feed at BWO gave a false image for a minute.
The large black object became a normal looking shadow after a couple of refreshes.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
The large gold button with the message showed up on my live feed too Mema Jo.
But it resumed the feed when I clicked on it.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
It is darkening in the sky like night time! The storm is coming over the mountain! I need to make a 4:15 pick up in Frederick so I am out of here ahead of the rains - but of course they will follow me!
Get ready FLOWERS - It's A Comming!
BBL
WHOOPS YOU NEED TO KNOW
I was away from the live feed again
It went to the Idle Message
I clicked on the PLAY BUTTON and
YahoO! It begin to play!
ALL IS WELL!
BBL
Good plan Jo, it's a big line of storms just west of you heading east, strong and moving kinda slowly. Severe thunderstorm warning just issued for the area...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN STERLING VIRGINIA HAS ISSUED A

Winda re about 14 mph here right now, man I hope we don't se hail. It's pouring.
Well, I'm out of here for a while. Have a good day.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
You can definitely hear the wind there right now. Parent in the nest!!
Well, I don't get the cam idle for 15 minutes message, I'm gonna have to refresh every 15 minutes?
Hidey landed for some dinner!! You could hear him coming. Lots of thunder and lightning going on there right now.
Got knocked off line due to storm. Passed through now.
Moving fast, Frederick county is getting slammed, can see bad lightining strikes in Hapers Ferry too.
Cam stops on me every 15 minutes...
My cam is working good since storm went through. I don't have a gold button anymore though.
Almost sounds like Big Foot stepping around in the forest on crunchy Autumn leaves.
Light rain here now, and wonderful cool air. Still more storms forming in PA that may hit here later.
Cam stopped I just had to refresh grr
Lightning starting in the distance, gonna shut down, see you all later!
yep, my cam has the play again button after 15 mins...sound still not good, lot of buzzing and static as usual
So I guess this is there answer to lower bandwidth use, if you aren't at computer, the cam will stop after 15 minutes. And if you are watching, you have to hit play to restart, but it doesn't always work for me and I have to hit refresh.
Geez- I meant their. One would think I can't spell. Storms have passed here now.
that is what it sounds like, Megan.....Storms look to be here in about 20 to 30 mins.
Whoa, new look for our cam....
Picture is smaller.
I was wondering what button you all was talking about. Well it just happened as I finished reading Megan's comment.
Wait 15 minutes for the other new feature.
I too Megan hit the gold button and it didn't work have to refresh grrrr
Sharon, what did you say your mouse does..?...
Buckle you SeatBelt Mits if it's coming your way!!!
I'm watching it head this way, Dana
If your mouse has the roller on the top of it, hold down CTRL and roll your mouse up and it will zoom in on the page and make the picture bigger.
My cam keeps stopping constantly, can't get it to stay running.
Thanks, Sharon, that works for me.
And other improvements, I see.
I don't have any problem with them trying to conserve bandwith...a message letting you know it's stopped or about to is certainly appreciated, however.
Lightening at the nest?
And yes, they have some kinks to work out....no zoom.
Yes some of the other cams have that. Makes it nice you can just hit the play and keep going again.
If not at computer then it does safe of bandwidth.
I have liked it very much since we have had it with MYOUTDOORTV.COM
Paula yes there is zoom ... read above what Sharon wrote.
That doesn't work on everyone's Sharon....
The sound has to do with NCTC....
Have you tried the left click for zoom?
all I do is right click and it zooms to bigger view
Got about half an inch of rain here, temp has dropped 20°.
after 15 mins I hit the play button, but sound does not come back for me till I hit refresh
I would like it better if it said like some others. That in say 28 seconds and it counts down if you don't click here cam will stop.
OH, it zooms in, but you can't move it around...
Who all do we have that lives in California? I know Jim, Anne_Marie but dang I can't remember where she is at there?? Anyone Else?
Annemarie is in Sacramento
Dana - I too have been very pleased with myoutdoortv.com.
I'm sure they'll get it all fixed up in no time..
Ms Bookworm...Andrea
shutting down storm is here....hear Hidey...
My delete- Thanks Mits.
Ed's cousins brother is coming into the Lake of the Woods near Fredericksburg,VA. We use to go down more often and stay at the Lake. Only going down for 1 day so we can see Chip he is from California. Works in a hospital out there. Has for years. He is really a great guy!! I'm finding he lives close to our Jim so far.
What area does Andrea live in?
Ms Bookworm-Andrea, Our Jim and Ed's cousins brother so far all live near each other. On the map area of J4 for all three of them.
Dana, Andrea lives fairly close to Jim. In fact, unless something has changed, she is planning on being our Momster representative at Debs' Dad's funeral tomorrow. Jim couldn't make it, and it's 10 hrs. from AnneMarie, tho' she was considering it. Haven't heard anything definite from her.
I got a press resume to play...don't know about the sound ...it's crappy here
But had to refresh...
Thanks Paula
bbl hubby getting food
Still very gloomy here....power went out once, but just for a minute---enough to have to reset digital clocks, satellite, etc.! Temp really dropped. No hail, not TOO much wind, but thunder was really bad.
Cam doing alright....Sharons' tip worked great---tg---cause image sure was small! Can't tell any difference in sound.
Later...
I hear Hidey!
Does anybody else have that green barber shop looking strip going under their cam pic sometimes?
I don't like the zoom with the right click because it distorts the picture. If I zoom in with my mouse and ctrl key, it keeps a clear pic but makes it bigger.
I noticed the green thing before the pic came up, Shar and then it went away.
Sharon The green strip is on for just a few seconds when I first put the cam up. Then it stops.
When it goes into the idle mode - the green strip appears again (I think-I need to check that out)
Tiny bird in the nest
I did the Zoom In & it wasn't too bad
Bird in the nest with delusions of grandeur!
Little bird in nest just flew out
I just did 2 Zoom In's )1 right after the other) and it really got close for me to see the small bird. You need to place your cursor over the area you want to zoom in on.
I see no difference in my cam whether I right click and zoom or use the roller and Ctrl.....same pic
It don't make the pic bigger? Maybe it is because I am using Google Chrome?
No, it works on IE too, so ladies, I don't have a clue! :)
Roller & CTRL enlarges the entire pic on the cam.
'Zoom In' with the right mouse click pinpoints a specific area.
Does that make sense?
Yes ma'am, it does.
Ho Ho! Did any of you click on any of the 'knobs' down by the green barber pole? Man! I clicked on the first one and the green barber pole JUST WON'T STOP RUNNING.
So I put it down and restarted in a new window and all is well.
Why do we have those 'knobs' if we don't know what they do? I can work the volume control! Whoo Hoo for me?
lol...stop talking that computer language to me Sharon....no understand it:)
Hidey's whine is getting a little deeper, not quite as high-pitched
yes, Jo
Hey everybody! Just got home, been gone most of the day to a dr. appt. and then of course, to Walmart. I see there have been some problems with the cam today. I sure don't like the smaller picture. I always increase my screen size to 150% so I can see it better. Hope everyone is doing well.
I just got the message that says camera idle for 15 min. What's going on? Is it going to be like this from now on?
MAN! If you accidentally click your cursor along side of or below our cam in the darkened area - WOW! Up pops an all new site which really doesn't interest me!
You get a Tripjumper or US Fish & Wildlife videos.
Very touchy!!!!
Well I have to refresh because the green moving line just keeps on moving even 15 minutes later grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Hi Bibee - 15 min is the way to conserve bandwidth
Click on the play button.... And you may need to Refresh after it starts up.
Green Barber pole with be there when you first start it.
I'm getting tired of refreshing!!!
there he is:)
Hidey just pluncked in
Thanks for the info, Jo. What is the site for the OK eagles? I keep reading about them but was unsure where it was at. Thanks.
Sure didn't stay very long! Guess he really loves this flying/soaring stuff, LOL!
15 min idle - clicked on play
green pole still rolling - very distracting to say the least.....
Suggestion: next time something new is going to be tried - Could we test it first?
Wonder if Margy got called into work early due to the storms? Not a word from her this afternoon/evening. Been too busy to pay much attention to scanner. Did hear that there was a river rescue on the Shenandoah just when the storm was approaching CharlesTown...a woman went over the dam and kept under...couldn't get free of the undertow....don't know the outcome. Prayers for her....but what was she doing there to begin with---geesh!
OK Site - scroll down and give it time to connect. You may only get the wide view
Received an email message from Bobbi down in FL about the Tesoro Eagles that we used to watch before the cam was taken down this season - good news to share with you............
Jo, had to let you know that today I saw a juvie flying over Tesoro it was truly beautiful. First time that I saw a juvie that close. I remember the nest year before last and know that you all had an interest in what was happening. The property was sold and of course the new management did not continue the live camera but thought you would like to know that there were eaglets this year and they survived and fledged and are enjoying their new freedom in the skies.
Take care, Bobbi
JO, when I see that pole keeps a rollin' I just refresh instead
I DON'T LIKE THIS NEW SETUP !!!!!
AND I CERTAINLY DON'T LIKE REFRESHING EITHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I understand what they are trying to do. Other sites have the time out too. But it tells you in so many seconds if you don't click here the cam will stop.
WELL THEY CAN HAVE MY TIME FOR THE NIGHT ---- I SHUT THE CAM DOWN. grrr
That's really cool about Tesoro...so glad to hear that!
Small bird back again in the nest looking for scraps!
Paula - refresh is hitting the F5 or
is it hitting the CTRL F5
And be careful where you have your cursor -
well the refreshing doesn't bother me, because I can never keep mine up when I am typing, but shut it down, because it seemed to be acting like a virus and while it was up, everything was crashing on me:(
Evening all. Just got back from PA.
I have loved our cam this year from myoutdoortv. Just pulled up the site and do not like it. If I zoom in it distorts the pic. Been a long wonderful day but am going to watch Wheel. If I do not get back. Pleasant dreams.
storms over Cambridge and Blackwater....cams not working.
I've had that problem with several of the cams, Mits.
me too, but not as bad as this one tonight, shut it down and everything is fine now.....guess I will have to say bye-bye to hidey
glad you had a nice day, Ceil
BWO AND BWE cams back on
bear cub at snowman cam
Jo, thanks for the site. I DON'T like the new setup on our cam. Wish it would go back to the way it was before. Can we protest?
we can Bi, but I think like a wise man has said so many times..."it is what it is":)
and I think it is better to let sleeping dogs lie
pizza's here...bbl
2 bear cubs at snowman cam
I think once they get everything tweaked, it will run better. I did send an email to outdoor TV just stating what some of the problems were but not fussing, just saying! :)
IT IS WHAT IT IS!
Bibee - New Cam
Let's work with it & on it!
I don't think a protest would be warranted so soon.... It's new but let's hope any kinks will get worked on. Keep reading what others find out about using it since we haven't been given any instructions whatsoever!
The bears really know where the food is!
Helen, still cam is better than nuttin'!!! That's what I use 99% of the time.....I don't really have too much choice! Only look at live cams for a couple of minutes at a time a few times a day.....don't want the Hughes cops to put me in time-out!
Hedgie Question?????
Did you mention that Verizon was coming into your area? I may have misunderstood the comment.
Hidey in nest!
I am enjoying the Burrowing Owls on the Wild Watch site... I wish that I could find that video about the fox trying to attack the one burrow and the little one scaring him off.
Thanks for the alert Hedgie!
First I have seen Hidey for a day or two
Did Hidey bring a fish in just now?
When I get the idle cam message, I have to hit refresh, if I hit the play button, I get the green barber pole endlessly...
Still breezy at the nest
Hidey is eating... Wonder if it is
his/her very own catch..........
Is your sound on live feed working???
Anyone???
My cam was off- so I don't know who brought food, but it appears Hidey is munching on something.
Yep, Jo, it is here now....but I've got almost $700 invested in Hughes just under 2 yrs. ago, so......
My sound is ok
Just had to turn up speakers
Noisy Noisy Hidey
My sound is working, Hidey seems to be freaking out- very vocal- think the fish is stuck on his talon.
Maybe Hidey can't kill it or needs
help from an adult!
SPLIT IS COMING
Jo, only kidding about the protest. I have gotten used to sitting my laptop beside of me and watching the nest action continuosly. Guess I am spoiled!
Yeah, I have sound on the cam. Hidey is screaming!!!
