Tuck your head in Hidey! No..leave it out, maybe the rain will wash away some more of your bugs:)

momsmiley said...

That's ok....like I said earlier...I haven't been able to blog like I want too....it's hard cause I'm working through the day...but I knew you'd remember!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Joyce, are you in Bucks County? I have lots of friends from Bucks County PA.

Mema Jo said...

Sharon - I think you need to rent a bus and create a route to pick up all these new bloggers and bring them into Open House Oct 17th! There are quite a few - at least enough to fill up a bus!

I hear the rain at the nest!
Hasn't come over the mountain yet!

Good Ol' Mother Nature! Water Megan's plants!

Costume Lady said...

Hidey looks sooo big lying in the nest...remember when he was so little, he would get lost in the bowl and we couldn't see him? Time flies and so does Hidey. LOL

Unknown said...

Not far from Bucks. Actually in Montgomery County.

momsmiley said...

Ok, Sharon...see I'm a little forgetful too....I was thinking it was your sister's son...ok....we'll get things straight eventually!!!! That band trips sounds like a winner!!! That would be so much fun!!! Hope you get to go!!!!

Mema Jo said...

I bet the bugs and gnats are hiding tonight! Spidey may have stopped the web he started!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

That was good Wanda! :)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I don't think I get to go. They are adults and don't need chaperons anymore! :(

Costume Lady said...

So far, there is no lightning or thunder. Megan must have done her Rain Dance. Happy for her and her YARD BOY;)

wvgal_dana said...

Raining very hard here

Costume Lady said...

Need some tea and TV. BBL

momsmiley said...

Hey...I like the idea of the bus....wouldn't that be fun???? It would give a new meaning to "Eagle Bus" would'nt it??? LOL

wvgal_dana said...

Just heard thunder here and at same time at the nest.

Costume Lady said...

Spoke too soon...thunder now.

floralgirl said...

Yep, raining here now, nice calm rain so far. Yard boy will be happy.
Today was the last day of school and kid ws just invited to Deep Creek lake tomorrow til Sunday. So nice to have friends:) Since we are financially challenged(we are no longer embarassed, it's just a fact)here, we rely on the kindness of others to provide summer entertainment. Luckily for us, daughter is a great kid, and gets invited to a lot of places.

momsmiley said...

Poor Hidey.....I hate to see her wet!!!! But it's probably bothering me more than her!! LOL

momsmiley said...

I hear the thunder too!!! Where my daughter lives (Hurricane) they got a horrible storm earlier today....also Charleston area....many accidents, etc.

deb said...

I am done mowing, Paula's Chinese food sure sounds good, but I don't have the energy to go get it. I think a nice bowl of cereal is just what I am going to have.

wvgal_dana said...

WOW opened my other mailbox...I got $1,500,000.00 in US Dollars....huh yea right..

floralgirl said...

It's weird to hear thunder on the computer and outside my window at the same time. Darn dog is flippin out- he hates thunderstorms. Last night he cried like a baby til I let him up on my bed.

wvgal_dana said...

Don't you just love those in your mailbox. Usually it is foregin monies but this time it is US monies. Oh don't they have time to do anything else.

hedgie said...

Dana, haven't heard a thing about it....no big Berkeley Co. or city activity on scanner since I got home around 3....that I've heard....how did you hear about it? When did it happen??? Nothing on 25's web page.

wvgal_dana said...

Megan how is the wind down your way?

wvgal_dana said...

Sister was at Food Lion near K-Mart at Rt. 11. Man came in and said it happened but I don't know what time.

momsmiley said...

WV Gal_Dana....you're gonna share all that money with your momsters, right??? LOL

floralgirl said...

So far it's not real windy here, Dana, only about 5-10 mph.
I am having a salad with romaine lettuce from my garden. But now I am thinking about Chinese food...

wvgal_dana said...

I'm buying us new cam that shows close up plus further away view first. New system that will show nice colors that are here in WV.

momsmiley said...

Beautiful colors, in deed!!! Especially in the fall!!!

hedgie said...

My gd Jessica is 15 today! Jenn (the one some of you met on the 23rd) turned 11 on Sunday.

wvgal_dana said...

Happy Birthday to both of them Lynn.

Mema Jo said...

I wonder if the 'smudge' will be washed away - It may not even be on the outside of the cam!

momsmiley said...

Wow....LOTS of birthday babies today!!!! Did you see the comment that my daughter's name is Jessica...and her birthday is today!!! Sweet "29"!!! Boy...do I feel old!!!!

floralgirl said...

Well, Happy Birthday to all:)

wvgal_dana said...

momsmiley if it were true then that monies will show up in that pager that comes around. Stating your name and they have unfound money for you. I just set back and watch for that paper lol I'm not emailing them a thing!!

hedgie said...

Wanda, that was "lou" who is in Martinsburg. She has a very strange last name.....same as the guy who got me wired up w/ wireless for my laptop---thought maybe she was his wife, but not the same first name or same occupation...he is from Ohio, I think...maybe this is his sister....daughter trying to find out!

momsmiley said...

Yes...."Happy Birthday to you..Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday...Happy Birthday to you" (singing) LOL

Mema Jo said...

Sherrill - you won't even feel old when you daughter turns the big 5 0.
My oldest did that this past month & She is getting older - Not Me! lol

wvgal_dana said...

Happy Birthday to you daughter too momsmiley.

momsmiley said...

Memo Jo....I TOTALLY agree....my mind is NOT old at all....but there's times when my body tells me different!! LOL

wvgal_dana said...

Doesn't it just boggle your mind that Liberty and Belle fed Hidey so much that he/she would stay in the nest tonight.

momsmiley said...

Yes...she definitely has her belly full....maybe little girl will stay in her nest tonight???!!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hurricane is really near where Andrew is moving to! :(

wvgal_dana said...

CLICK BELOW THE BLUE TO WATCH

SPUNKY'S STORM

momsmiley said...

Yes....I remember that....he will be at Institute, right??? I will think of "Andrew" every time I drive by there going to visit Jess!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Oh Dana, you found it. I will never forget recording it. I was shaking all over, doing it with the Fraps 30 seconds at a time. I think I was even talking to Jo on the phone at the time!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

He will be going to school in Institute but living in Scott Depot.

Mema Jo said...

I send out through the Momsters' email about June B-days - I should also record it here on the blog for any not yet in the Momsters Yahoo group

hedgie said...

Dana...scoop as far as I've learned....Denali Street behind Heffle Motors right before the GM light...guy smoking and doing something w/ gas....melted siding on house next door. No one knows anything about Rt. 11S!

wvgal_dana said...

Didn't know you all was looking for it until I read back in comments. Sorry.

Mema Jo said...

Thelma is "T-Bird" on the blog.
Jewell mainly sends emails of info out but not on the blog. Carol comes on every once in a while and she is the one that Capt Eagle waves to as he passes by on his way hunting & fishing at Seneca Rock (I think).
The more ecards we send the more bonded we get!

Mema Jo said...

Dana - thank you for finding the video!
You must have had that in your Favorites! That is where I am going to put in now!

wvgal_dana said...

Lynn you remember the game....all sitting around pass a phrase or sentence around. See how it comes out when last person gets it...must be same thing here with the house blowing up.

momsmiley said...

Sharon....maybe my son-in-law will be his mailman!!! Jessica's husband, Tony, is a rural carrier for Scott Depot!!! The world's getting smaller and smaller!!!! LOL

wvgal_dana said...

No really Jo I just went to YouTube remembering the name Spunky's Storm and typed it in search.

wvgal_dana said...

No Hidey don't back up!!!!! STop flapping those wings!!

Costume Lady said...

Sherrill, before you know it, you may find out that you two are related:)LOL

momsmiley said...

Is Hidey flapping around..trying to dry her wings....or gettin' ready to take flight?????

Mema Jo said...

Going in to see if Criminal Minds is a repeat for me.

BBILW

deb said...

Dana, we can be rich together. The Commonwealth Bank sent me something, but it went right to my junk mail and then into Trash!

Megan, I know what I am having for dinner tomorrow night, can't wait!

Costume Lady said...

DANA, thank you for taking the time to post the link to Spunky's Storm...I have never seen it. Poor little thing was probably scared to death:(

wvgal_dana said...

I am too Jo bbiaw

deb said...

I keep forgetting to tell you that my uncle is up and walking. He has to use a special walker for now, but we are all so excited that he has made it this far. Thanks everyone for all your prayers!

Costume Lady said...

Deb, will that be home made or take out? I cannot cook chinese food very well...I always over-cook it. You know where I get my chinese food;)

Carol said...

Hidey out

Carol said...

I was mistaken....Hidey's flappin' at 3:00 gettin' ready to exit?

momsmiley said...

Costume Lady....you just might be right!! LOL

momsmiley said...

Carol...I think she's still there....around 2 o'clock!

momsmiley said...

Hard to see....she's kinda in the shadows!!!

deb said...

Definitely take out, Wanda!

momsmiley said...

I believe...she's off!!! Does anyone see her????

Mits said...

eagles don't usually fly at night.

momsmiley said...

thanks, Mitts....maybe she is there...just can't see her!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hidey is sitting in her favorite spot at 2 o'clock.

deb said...

I can't tell for sure, but I just assumed she was under the blob on the cam.

Mema Jo said...

Commercial: I think I see footsies at 2:30 position.....
TV program not a repeat for me.. Really good!

momsmiley said...

Ok...Sharon...that's what I thought earlier...but then I couldn't see her...but I think I do now.

Mema Jo said...

DEB - news concerning your uncle's recovery is so welcomed to my ears!
Those eagles must have taken our prayers straight up stairs!

floralgirl said...

Rain is just about past the nest.
Deb, that is really great news about your Uncle.

deb said...

It is wonderful isn't it, Jo!

One of the Kestrel chicks has left the box, only 4 left right now. I wonder if they will come back and forth like Hidey.

momsmiley said...

Criminal Minds....one of my favorite shows....but it was a repeat for me....but a good one!!!!

deb said...

And Megan!

momsmiley said...

I'm hooked on "So You Think You Can Dance"!! I LOVE any show that has to do with dancing!!!

Mema Jo said...

That's right - you were going to the Prom to check things out!

Mema Jo said...

LW - eaglet exploring the nest!

Mema Jo said...

Mema Jo said...

Nite Mits! Hope the storm is finished down your way. They mentioned Fenwick Is on the weather news earlier.

Mema Jo said...

Nite Sherrill and all others who have headed for dream world.

hedgie said...

Wow, that was a scary video. Had Spunky fledged yet when that happened...it was june 21st....if not, where was Belle?? WHy wasn't she there to protect him? Poor baby.

paula eagleholic said...

Women could always multi task!

I think Hidey is at 2ish also!

The Chinese food was good! Got enough left for a couple of more meals!

Deb - glad to hear your uncle has improved so much. When do you leave for CA?

hedgie said...

Deb, encouraging news about your uncle. We were wondering about him not too long ago.

paula eagleholic said...

Spunky fledged on Flag day - June 14th!

Nite Mits and momsmiley!

hedgie said...

Paula, Deb is leaving on the 9th the last we heard.

wvgal_dana said...

Night all prayers for those that need them

Mema Jo said...

Come on in to Frederick this Weekend

Creations by the Creek
Frederick’s Festival of the Arts has added new features this year, including free admission. The weekend festival includes fine art, bands, Shakespearean performances and workshops, and children’s activities.

momsmiley said...

Nite.....Paul Eagleholic, Hedgie, WV Gal_dana, Mema Jo, Eagle Eyed Sharon....everyone else in Eagle Land....going to bed...this time for sure!!!

Lolly said...

Hi all! So you really think Hidey is in the nest. I have been looking at it closely. Sure is hard to tell.

deb said...

I leave on Tuesday, at 7 AM.

Mema Jo said...

Deb - when will you return home?

deb said...

Sunday at 6 pm into the Sioux Falls airport.

floralgirl said...

Another patch of rain passing by here and the nest.

Mema Jo said...

WOW! Check out the Saaksi 2009 Finney Land. Both osprey are in the nest and it is a current pic.


Raccoon party in PA woods

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Megan - I was hoping you would tell us if more was headed. Don't mind the rain without the thunder/lightning.

floralgirl said...

It's actually a nice calm rain, some of it heavy, but no wind and not as much thunder and lightning as last night's storm. This rain is just what I needed, no watering in all the plants tomorrow, can focus on transplanting seedlings and sowing more seeds in the GH. I'm headed to bed, long day, my muscles are sore. Good nite all:)

Mema Jo said...

Good night Megan I'm right behind you!

Good Night All
Peace to you & yours
Prayers for all needs being offered

((hugs)) ♥

Costume Lady said...

I'm right behind you Megan. Did some gardening at GeeGee's today and I am ready to rest my bones.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL

Costume Lady said...

Oh, Jo, you beat me to the punch...Never mind Megan, I'm right behind Jo:) Nite

hedgie said...

Good to see Finney land back up...angle is a bit different, but at least it's working. Sure wish water nest cam would get fixed...boo!
Good night to those turning in.
Deb, what time is the service on the 10th?

deb said...

I just got off the phone with my aunt and my Uncle Bob is up to 180 feet in walking today. Not bad at all with just starting up again. It tires out his shoulders, but he will get used to that. His legs will get stronger, too, and that will take some of the pressure off of his shoulders.

deb said...

I was typing one handed before, I leave SF on Tuesday morning at 7, get to CA at noon. My uncle and niece get in at 11:45, so that is only one trip to LAX. I leave CA at 10 on Sunday, get to Sioux Falls at 6.

Now I am off to read and relax before bed. Night everyone.

deb said...

We have to be ready and waiting at the entrance to the Nat. Cemetery at 12:50, service is at 1:00. Then we drive back to Hemet, 1 hour away, for a Celebration of Life. There will be a small program, time for people to talk if they wish. Then food and visiting until 4:30.

Tuesday night close friends and family will gather for dinner at my dad's place--nothing fancy, just brats and burgers on the grill.

paula eagleholic said...

That sounds very nice, Deb. Glad you will have some closure soon. The waiting must be hard.

hedgie said...

Got an email from Red...he says Hi! No real improvement in his condition with the O2. Still trying to find the right thing for a move. Prayers for his health and that he can sell and buy what he needs.
Dana, so far nothing on Ch. 25 news.

hedgie said...

Agree with Paula, Deb....it has to be hard for you and the rest of the family. Hope you feel our hugs.

paula eagleholic said...

Temp here has dropped to 57° - great sleeping weather...so I think I will.

Gnite all,

Hugs to all ♥

hedgie said...

Goodnight, fowl friends. Rest well. Prayers for all. See you in the morning.

Lolly said...

Nite all! Sleepy this evening. Ready for some shut eye!

Sweet dreams!

movin said...

Well, I don't see in your comments where Hidey departed the nest, but I cannot see him in there now.

Oh shoot, I just saw a little movement at about 3 o'clock, zoomed in and can just barely see him when he raises his foot or something.

Did you see that beautiful pic of the BWO chick posted by Lisa??

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi! Anybody out there? Is that you, Hidey, on the edge of the nest at 2:00? I believe it is you!
Good thing you're close, if it's going to rain more. I see Spidey's been busy, too. Guess what! Saw what I believe was a female Hooded Oriole on our feeders this afternoon! She's really pretty. The Rufous hummers and Anna's hummers are still battling for territory here, too. Persistent little rascals, all of them! Boy, hang on, Hidey and Spidey, it's getting windier! We actually had some sprinkles here in SoCal today, too! Kinda unusual, but nice. BTW, I think I did well on the test at school tonight! Thank God-- it was on 9 chapters! Thanks for your prayers for me! Well, I'm beat, and must catch up on the blog. Think I'll hit the hay, and catch up tomorrow. Prayers for all needs, prayers for healing, thanksgiving for friendship and fellowship, and prayers for everyone's safety. 'Nite, all, good night, Hidey, good night, Spidey, (and good night, John Boy, wherever you are!) God bless! :o]

movin said...

Hmm. Andrea, I think we had mostly Anna's with an occasional Costas Hummer when we lived near Del Mar in SD County, but there wasn't a big variety there.

Then in S.A. since I've been feeding them, it's been all Black-Chins, except for one or two Rufous, which stopped at my feeder when migrating through the area. I thought they nested much farther north.

One or two Anna's, one was sick or injured and sat at the feeder most of the day for a while, stopped one or two times.

My sister, who lives south of Oceanside, had to take her feeders down, because of the clan of Anna's, which not only took over her tree, her front yard and patio, but would constantly threaten and chirp so loudly at each other that you couldn't hear yourself. The neighbors a couple of blocks away could hear them if they were outside.

PA Nana said...

I coulldn't sleep. Had something on my mind that someone may be able to help with. Has or will Hidey be banded? If so, when?
I'm so addicted to this little (?) guy I might cry if I don't see him.
Have a pleasant night. God bless you all.
P.S. Is there a link to a hummingbird cam? I feed them in my yard but haven't seen any yet. They are such little wonders.
Thanx

movin said...

No, PA Nana, they do not band the birds associated with this nest.

I think it is because Bald Eagles are very well reestablished in the area of the Potomac, and scientists do not need further information on the birds of the area. At least not at the present.

Jim

movin said...

Hidey is lying down at about 1:30 o'clock now, still fighting the bugs, with his head tucked into his wing.

Sleep peacefully, youngster.

Lori O. said...

Good Morning -

Hidey is back i the nest. I check around 1:45 and couldn't even see her standing on the edge...now at 4AM, here s/he is.

PA NANA: I understand your feelings of missing Hidey. What a very special eaglet he is.

You can find the HUMMINGBIRD cam (with a chick in the tiny nest) on Ustream.com

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning out there in eagleland! Hope everyone is well. I can't see Hidey if she is in the nest, can't tell. Last real day of school for Mattie today, 5th grade graduation. Middle school next year, for crying out loud!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

There is Hidey! She looks pretty wet!

Bozzett said...

Checking in this morning and Hidey is in the nest...looks like she/he weathered the heavy rains we had overnite...boy did it pour! My how big and beautiful our little baby has become! Will check in later and wish all a wonderful day!

Tammy said...

Good Morning All..

Sure looks like Hidey is pretty actively hopping around the nest this morning and flapping her wings alot. Not leaving though.

Possibly waiting for breakfast to be delivered?

Tammy said...

Ahhh... leftovers. Or shall I say nestovers.

Which reminds me, cold pizza in frig..

OK Hidey, you convinced me! I need a early morning snack.

Bozzett said...

Tammy/All: will be getting the day started now - work...what a silly thing to have to do! :) Hope all have a wonderful day...temps back in the 60s in VA and WV today...need to get out to check on the garden and hope all is still standing after tremendous downpours last night. Can't wait to pick the first tomatoes! Talk to you all later today when new thread is opened!

Lori O. said...

Just saw Hidey take off

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Hidey appeared to be eating something other than nestovers. Did anyone see a delivery? Hope we get to see Hidey bring home a meal that he caught himself:)

Lori O. said...

YEAH! That's the first time I've seen Hidey take off -- let's have a party!

I'm so jazzed!!! Finally. :)
