Wrote the following on the other blog, then saw there was a new thread.☺
Andrea, saw the report on your Gavin. Shucks!! That would have been fun. Oh well!
As for our boys getting together...that would have to be up to my daughter. She lives in north Denton, just north of the loop. She teaches in Corinth, but it is the Denton ISD. She lives very close to the water park. It is co-owned by Denton ISD and the city of Denton. If your niece goes to the water park, possibly they could meet there and let the boys play.
I got a late start to lunch today and have caught up on blog and e-mail. Now I have just been relaxing. It is warm and humid out, calling for storms again tonight, but I am hoping they don't come here!
You all should see these boys....LOL. They have new sun glasses and are walking around thinking they are soooo cooool!!
They are also sporting new hair cuts. Joseph has new hiking boots for Colorado, and Jacob has new tennis shoes, which, by the way are very fast! He also has new pirate flip flops, and frog rubber boots. I mean this is one well shod 4 year old. LOL
OH LORDY.. talking about haircuts. My daughter sent me a picture of Ethan.. the 6 year old that spent the week end with me last weekend..he is sporting a mohawk.!!. he has red hair so I told him that he is going to look like one of their roosters
I hear the red-bellied woodpecker at NCTC - hope he calls in Hidey.
Good Afternoon Everyone....this has been a nice steady soaking rain in these parts today. I am like Mema Jo...bring it on for the potted Megan Flowers that I have ☺
Hope that everyone that needs rain gets just enough, and that those that have had enough don't get any more for a little while.
I just took a phone call, and was told that a friend of mine - has just died from cancer...this family has had many deaths in the last several year. They are fire department folks. I would appreciate your prayers for strength and comfort for the family. Thank you.
Thank you, friends, now and in advance. Man in his young 40's - we used to run ambulance and fire calls together. He leaves behind one sister, one brother, one adolescent son, and some nieces and nephews. His illness and pain is over.
Well, I didn't know there was a new thread. Good afternoon everyone. Haven't read this thread yet but Hidey just dropped right down out of the sky for that fish. And you know, our parents sure are good at catching fish even in the rain. Amazes me. Seems like the water would get too muddy to see the fish.
Oh, Margy, I'm SO sorry to hear about your friend! My heart goes out to you, and to his family! You'll all be in my prayers. GA-GIRL is right-- there is no good time for that kind of phone call.
Ahh-- there was a quick look at Lib, too! I guess I showed up at the right time. Really good to see both Hidey and him. What is Hidey trying to do with the camera?! Sounds like a tap dance. Looks like a really steady rain going on. Hope the feathered family can stay somewhat dry tonight! Guess Hidey made short work of that fish-- I think Hidey is a teenage boy! Reminds me so much of both of my nephews!
Magpie, sorry for the loss of your friend. I'll certainly keep all of you in my prayers today.
So Hidey is off exploring today. I thought I heard her/him a few minutes ago but I am unsure.
I want to thank you wonderful people for all the links you have given to the different wildlife webcams. I am enjoying them so very much and so are my family members. My daughter who monitors Hidey on her work computer was meeting with the company boss when Hidey decided to be vocal. Evidently Hidey startled the boss. It was a few minutes after the boss left her office that he called and asked Rachel to send to him the link to watch Hidey. Now the whole office is on board. I've been sending them the links to the different webcams that you post here and they love them.
Disappeared suddenly....it was slip and slide time. Now we are back in and about time to think about starting dinner.
Margy, so sorry to hear about your friend. Way too young. A great loss, but thankfully no more suffering.
GA girl, sorry to hear you are drying out. It has been so good for Georgia to get rain this spring. Hopefully you will get more soon. We have had some nice rain, but not enough. Could use a good soaking just before we leave next Monday, but it is not in the forecast.
Hi, people. I think I might hear Hidey calling and banging on the camera again.
I don't know if you've covered this, but I was looking at the Hummingbird site, and under the slide show (why that instead of the live feed?) there is a note about the last chick, which they named "Jewel." She is recovering in a Hummingbird rescue place, but it didn't say why, so, of course I wondered about that for a while....
Later I scrolled down quite a way to just above the flags of the nations viewing the site and I found a video clip of the little Hummer being rescued.
Why don't you read the note and look at the clip of her/him...
In answer to your question Hidey will be getting his or her own food soon. It will be mammals at first. Being just one to me it seems that Lib and Belle are taking longer to let loose. If I am wrong someone will correct me.
Bill there is a nice picture of one of the Norfolk eaglets now and I read about Azalea coming back into the nest and knocking her sister out. They are so awkward at first just like humans. I have to go BBL
We just finished dinner. Boys will bathe, put on PJs and we will head to their home. You will love this. Just before dinner, Jacob crawled into my lap, we were having a fantastic cuddle session, he fell asleep and then I did. Jack woke me up so I could finish preparing dinner. I don't want to give them back to their parents. Think I will throw whiny fit!! LOL
Anyway, I will say good night now. We will be leaving shortly and it will be late when we get back.
Hello everyone... We are back home from the hospital and Capt. Eagle is doing just fine. He has 3 stitches in his butt, but is feeling no pain at this time. The GOOD STUFF hasn't worn off yet;) It is 64° right now and the rain has stopped. It has been a wonderful garden rain. I know my plants are happy and Megan can stop dancing now;)
OMG!!!n I just dealt with the meanest person in the world on the phone. I tried to help him and he told me I couldn't ask one question. Then I told him I would do what I could and he told me I couldn't talk anymore, so I didn't. That didn't work obviously. My poor supervisor came to help, same thing with her. He yelled, cussed, you name it. Hung up on her 4 times. What a way to end the day.
I told my supervisor that I wasn't glad she had to deal with him, but was happy to see it wasn't me who couldn't deal with him. There were about 20 notes on his account, almost all of them referred to his rudeness. He has been banned from calling Billing, only his wife is allowed to call.
I dealt with a lot of rude people at Target, but he takes the #1 spot.
I had a funny situtation at Target one year. A man came in and he had been drinking--it was quite obvious he had had too much. He came in to return a TV and he couldn't understand why we wouldn't give him his money back. I patiently explained that we would have to get the TV to give him his money. He thought that was so strange that we needed the TV. It took me a bit to convince him that we couldn't give him money for a TV he didn't have, especially with out a receipt!
The Capt. had a "tag" removed last week (burned off) and it became infected. Had to have it surgically removed today. It is at the very end of his tailbone. He is now the "Butt" of many jokes to come;) Tee Hee
Oh, Deb, that is when you want to reach through the phone and strangle them. I worked at a telemarketing company (I know your job is different Deb) for 2 weeks one time and I quit. I couldn't handle all the nastiness on the other end. Glad I did because that is when I decided to go back to school to do what I am doing now.
Deb...I have had to deal with some nasty customers...and employees too. Anyone who cusses at me...I tell them I will not listen to any profanity, and I hang up on them.
Rude customers - The rule is NOT to take it personally. The rudeness is their problem! Some people though can knock you off your chair - Paula's approach is good medicine for them but a call for the supervisor is what you mostly need to do in your position. You can always vent to us, Deb!
Sharon, I got an email from Chrissy and she said to thank you for asking me to send the video of Lolly getting fed dessert. I'll copy what she had to say.
So sorry it's taken me so long in replying to you pet,,,, everytime I pull up your video to watch,,, all I get is a black square,, but now I've got it sussed out pet,, I've clicked on the "Threegkids",,, and Eureka,, I get all your videos to watch not just the Lolly one with cream all over her face,,,,,,
I've just finished watching all of them pet,,,, every single one,,,,,,,, give darling Sharon a big hugs from me please for thinking of me,, and thank you for taking then,,,,
I've loved them all,, it's so wonderful to hear all your voices and listen to your fabulous lilting accents,, isn't it strange,, though we talk and become friends, we have no idea how each of us sounds or looks,, now I have the advantage,, and I'm content,,, it makes you all feel even closer to me pet,, just a brilliant feeling,, THANK YOU,,,,,,,
One day when I find my stray brain cell pet,, I'll catch up with modern technology and learn how to use this computer properly [ yeah right ] who am I kidding !!!!
Right my friend,, in-between watching my Ospreys in Scotland,, I think I better go and rescue my washing out on the line in the garden,, it's raining like mad here and the winds getting up too,, so if I don't want to collect the washing from the next county,, I think I'm going to get very wet now,,,,,, Oh well,, not had a bath this year,, so it's long overdue,,, [ laughing ],,,,
Take care pet speak soon love and hugs Chrissy XXXXXXXXX
I was only upset when he wouldn't deal with me. Once we started reading the notes from other calls and then I listened to how he spoke to Stacy, I knew it was him, not me. I learned from Target to let it go and venting is usually the way to get rid of the ugly!
Paula, at Target we all just told the swearers that Target was a family store and they had to use language appropriate for children. It almost always worked. When it didn't we showed them the door!
Jo, I am giving him the very best of care...I want to be chauffered by a "comfortable" driver too. I drove him home from the hospital and didn't like it very much. He is a backseat driver!:)
No, Deb...the boo boo is up too high for a donut to help. He says he doesn't hurt. He'll probably start feeling some discomfort around bedtime. Dr. said some motrin would take care of the pain. He is just so glad to have the darn thing removed. He's been on stron antibotics all week and could not take any pain pills due to having the surgery. This is his first:)
BTW - one of the TH eaglets took off yesterday afternoon...think the wind caught her...up up up she went...returned a couple of hours later. Don't know if she took any flights today.
What a nekked bear?? guess it is not Pooh bear. I had to drive hubby around yesterday- he is a passenger seat driver- I told him it was very annoying. I should've made him sit in the back.
We just got a Severe Thunderstorm Warning, but it isn't anything like last night yet. The lightening is pretty, kind of pink when it lights up the sky.
LOL, Megan...they do make "Butt" bandages. I'm not sure what they look like, but Gene was sent home with a bag full of supplies. One of them said "drain sponge", and I just about had a fit. I said "you didn't tell me you had a drain...he said he didn't think he did and had to look to make sure;) I didn't want a "Drano" to take care of. No Drain. LOL
I do have a basement, but have only gone down once since I lived here. That time the tornado actually hit about 2 blocks away. Luckily, it was small and didn't do much damage. Only it's tail hit and then back up it went. That storm did a lot of tree damage though. Took a couple of weeks to haul all the branches and limbs away. All we had to do was put them on the curb and the city came and picked them up.
I like to watch them come over the prairie, you can see them so far away. The closer they get the taller the clouds seem. I haven't ever seen a storm over the ocean, other than rain maybe.
Talk about a landing by an adult with a very large fish in talon.. Lake Washington just had one! Almost landed on the kids! Both adults are there chowing down I guess the kids are next.
I remember many people talking about "storm cellars" in the area of Minn. we are from. They were very effective, but nowdays even if people have a basement, I don't believe they have them set up for the storm or tornado purpose.
It's a shame with all the damage we hear about every year from tornadoes. I think as many as possible should build them with storms in mind, and in trailer park/apartment complex situations, you could build communal cellars to protect against storms.
Pick a place in the home where family members can gather if a tornado is headed your way. One basic rule is AVOID WINDOWS. An exploding window can injure or kill.
The safest place in the home is the interior part of a basement. If there is no basement, go to an inside room, without windows, on the lowest floor. This could be a center hallway, bathroom, or closet.
For added protection, get under something sturdy such as a heavy table or workbench. If possible, cover your body with a blanket, sleeping bag, or mattress, and protect your head with anything available--even your hands. Avoid taking shelter where there are heavy objects, such as pianos or refrigerators, on the area of floor that is directly above you. They could fall though the floor if the tornado strikes your house.
Capt. Eagle is now in bed and sound asleep. He has not felt any pain yet. I thought he was going to be a wimp, maybe even a pain in the BUTT, but not so far. Tee Hee
I'm tired to. Going to crawl into bed.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE SWEET DREAMS PRAYERS FOR ME...I MEAN ALL
Prayers for both of you, Wanda, and also for Dana and Ed. I am off to bed to read, also. The rain is gone here, it was pretty much just a rain storm with a lot of lightening here in town.
I'm not too excited by storms generally, but since we only occasionally have it here and it is so dramatic, I tend to like the lightening and thunder..
I'm glad you all have come through your storms of the last days. Good to hear you back on the blog talking like lively folks.
Hello....not staying....thunderstorm here now....severe storm warnings for Norma's area. Long day...very exhausted. Haven't read this thread yet. Will say prayers for all those in need, congrats to all with excellent news, and I miss not spending more time with you. Hope you miss me!! Good night, dear fowl friends.
just stopped by to look in on the nest. that spiderweb sure does show the wind. between that motion & the sound, i feel as if i'm up there in the middle-of-the-night storm.
GOOD MORNING LORI... I thought I might catch a glimpse of Hidey if I got on here early, but it looks like I'm not early enough. He is a REAL EARLY BIRD! Oh, I think I hear him somewhere in the tree. Maybe if I'm patientn enough, I'll see him come down for nestovers:)
No rain here this morning, Lori. I think we have had enough for a few days! Our garden is so muddy, you can't walk in it. Hope it drys up a little...I will want to pick beans Saturday. I'll wear boots if necessary:) Gene had a "tag" removed from his tailbone and it became in infected, so doctor had to do some cutting to get it under control. He's not awake yet...hope he isn't a "pain in the butt" this morning;)
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---WHOA!!---Last night we had BIG--BIG BOOMERS & a down pour like you wouldn't believe!!!---I would GUESS our ELKINS friend--BILL--is a WV STATE EMPLOYEE---Tomorrow is a holiday---(WV DAY is 6/20--since it falls on Sat--we are allowed Fri off)!----I imagine our 'LITTLE IMP'--HEIDY aka MIRACLE--will probably observe both days!!---EVERY DAY IS A HOLIDAY for her!!---It's a muggy warm mornin' here in WONDERFUL WILD WV!!!---puddles of water--shaggy wet birds & drowned flowers---but we will FLOP--FLOP in the MUD PUDDLES--SQUEEZE MUD WITH OUR TOES!!---'TWIST & SHOUT TODAY!!---LIFE IS GOOD!!! REJOICE!!!
Good Morning Eagle People. There were tornado warnings in the Romney area, Hampshire County, from about 11:45 to some time after midnight overnight..this is Norma's County! I checked with Romney State Police, they said they didn't think any had touched down, but there were lots of branches and things in the road, and small stream flooding all over.
So, will be Good to Hear from Our Norma this morning !
I hear birds, including an eaglet, and now a woodpecker I think. And maybe Hidey footprints ! xo

THANKS STEVE. I GAVE A GA HOLLER FOR EVERYONE TO COME OVER..
thanks GG and Steve:)
Wrote the following on the other blog, then saw there was a new thread.☺
Andrea, saw the report on your Gavin. Shucks!! That would have been fun. Oh well!
As for our boys getting together...that would have to be up to my daughter. She lives in north Denton, just north of the loop. She teaches in Corinth, but it is the Denton ISD. She lives very close to the water park. It is co-owned by Denton ISD and the city of Denton. If your niece goes to the water park, possibly they could meet there and let the boys play.
I got a late start to lunch today and have caught up on blog and e-mail. Now I have just been relaxing. It is warm and humid out, calling for storms again tonight, but I am hoping they don't come here!
You all should see these boys....LOL. They have new sun glasses and are walking around thinking they are soooo cooool!!
They are also sporting new hair cuts. Joseph has new hiking boots for Colorado, and Jacob has new tennis shoes, which, by the way are very fast! He also has new pirate flip flops, and frog rubber boots. I mean this is one well shod 4 year old. LOL
They sound like the are pretty well outfitted, Lolly, and ready to go!
Time for me to head back to work.
OH LORDY.. talking about haircuts. My daughter sent me a picture of Ethan.. the 6 year old that spent the week end with me last weekend..he is sporting a mohawk.!!. he has red hair so I told him that he is going to look like one of their roosters
I hear the red-bellied woodpecker at NCTC - hope he calls in Hidey.
Good Afternoon Everyone....this has been a nice steady soaking rain in these parts today. I am like Mema Jo...bring it on for the potted Megan Flowers that I have ☺
Hope that everyone that needs rain gets just enough, and that those that have had enough don't get any more for a little while.
UH.. where did everyone go?? hellooo.. there is an echo in here..
I need rain.. cough cough.. I'm getting dry here.. cough cough.. please send unwanted rain.. hack hack...
no rainy night in GA.. sorry
I just took a phone call, and was told that a friend of mine - has just died from cancer...this family has had many deaths in the last several year. They are fire department folks. I would appreciate your prayers for strength and comfort for the family.
Thank you.
I'm sorry magpie. My thoughts are with everyone. There is no right time for those kind of calls.
Hello everyone,
Magpie, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your friend's family.
JMP
sorry for your loss, Margy
Thank you, friends, now and in advance. Man in his
young 40's - we used to run ambulance and fire calls together.
He leaves behind one sister, one brother, one adolescent son, and some nieces and nephews.
His illness and pain is over.
There is our kid calling.
He's not in sight. Did anyone else see him today? Except the very brief appearance this morning?
Afternoon all. Margy sorry to hear about your friend. Prayers for his family. As you said at least his suffering is over.
OK - one parent and one child ☺
Adult just flew in. And then Hidey
and now one child...
Hidey just landed. Lib or Belle came in with food. Hidey yelled from above and dropped in on Lib or Belle.
I don't think Hidey liked his fish. He started yelling but I guess he said I'll eat it.
Hello--I guess you might say Hidey wanted that fish.
Good evening, Ceil, Magpie, Floralgirl.
Well, I didn't know there was a new thread. Good afternoon everyone. Haven't read this thread yet but Hidey just dropped right down out of the sky for that fish. And you know, our parents sure are good at catching fish even in the rain. Amazes me. Seems like the water would get too muddy to see the fish.
Margy, so sorry about your friend. CANCER SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, Margy, I'm SO sorry to hear about your friend! My heart goes out to you, and to his family! You'll all be in my prayers. GA-GIRL is right-- there is no good time for that kind of phone call.
Well, I don't think I have ever seen Hidey take off from the 9-10 o'clock position. That was cool. Looks pretty nasty at the sycamore tree.
POOF !
Up to play on the cam
lol I had been watching and was thinking that Hidey was smacking his/her beak while eating....
I guess it is really the rain drops!
Parent checking to see if there are any nestovers. Can hear Hidey still though.
I don't think there were any nestovers.
Sorry to hear about your friend, Margy.
I don;t think Hidey left any leftovers.
Jo glad to hear your doctor visit went well.
Margy, all of you that feel the loss of your friend will be remembered in my prayers.
Ahh-- there was a quick look at Lib, too! I guess I showed up at the right time. Really good to see both Hidey and him. What is Hidey trying to do with the camera?! Sounds like a tap dance. Looks like a really steady rain going on. Hope the feathered family can stay somewhat dry tonight! Guess Hidey made short work of that fish-- I think Hidey is a teenage boy!
Reminds me so much of both of my nephews!
Greetings All..
Magpie, sorry for the loss of your friend. I'll certainly keep all of you in my prayers today.
So Hidey is off exploring today. I thought I heard her/him a few minutes ago but I am unsure.
I want to thank you wonderful people for all the links you have given to the different wildlife webcams. I am enjoying them so very much and so are my family members. My daughter who monitors Hidey on her work computer was meeting with the company boss when Hidey decided to be vocal. Evidently Hidey startled the boss. It was a few minutes after the boss left her office that he called and asked Rachel to send to him the link to watch Hidey. Now the whole office is on board. I've been sending them the links to the different webcams that you post here and they love them.
So THANK YOU!!
Tammy that is so good. For the first couple of years, my family thought I had lost all my marbles. Now Sissy has more cams up than me! :)
Sharon, you are SOOOO right! Cancer just sucks big time. What a horrible disease! :o{
Oops-- gotta go check my chicken to see how it's doing. Sure smells good! Back in a sec....
I have a little chickadee that keeps coming to my suet feeder who hangs by 1 leg, keeps the other one up close to its body. I guess it is hurt! :(
Disappeared suddenly....it was slip and slide time. Now we are back in and about time to think about starting dinner.
Margy, so sorry to hear about your friend. Way too young. A great loss, but thankfully no more suffering.
GA girl, sorry to hear you are drying out. It has been so good for Georgia to get rain this spring. Hopefully you will get more soon. We have had some nice rain, but not enough. Could use a good soaking just before we leave next Monday, but it is not in the forecast.
So glad to see our Eagles today before heading out to work.
Jo, Norma, good to hear of your good doctor's reports ! Keep up the Good Work !
Thanks everyone, for your prayers and concern....
Hope the Evening is Good for All...
Off to work. See you Thursday. ☺
xoxo

Evening, all.
Tammy, that cracked me up when the boss wanted the link to the eagles nest...all it takes is one cool peep like that...
Margy, so sorry about your friend.
Lolly, sounds like you are having a great time with the boys.
What happened Paula,did you get caught Eagling at work?
Hidey just got supper
Well Lib or Belle just brought in another fish and Hidey landed stole it and pushed the adult out of the nest
When will s/he be catching its own dinner?
We have tornado warnings here till 10
Well, had to eat and run,sounds like s/he is still there somewear close
Bill, where are you located?
I'm in Elkins
Has anyone else looked at tracking map on the eaglet at Norfolk?
In answer to your question Hidey will be getting his or her own food soon. It will be mammals at first. Being just one to me it seems that Lib and Belle are taking longer to let loose. If I am wrong someone will correct me.
Not yet Bill. I didn't think it was being used yet because the eaglet is still close to the nest.
Nothing like a good mouse meal
I looked at it last night,looked like HE I believe it was,had been all over Botanical Gardens
Gotta run for now,have a meeting to make in 1/2 hr
Bill there is a nice picture of one of the Norfolk eaglets now and I read about Azalea coming back into the nest and knocking her sister out. They are so awkward at first just like humans. I have to go BBL
Check out the pic of HK loking right in the cam
Magpie, so sorry to read about the death of your friend. I am sure you are a comfort to them at this time.
Good Evening! Sorry I missed you Bill and GA Girl......
How cool is this?
Check out OK Cam
Right click and get a full screen
Adult & eaglet up at the tree!
Big Poop Shoot at Lake Washington
We just finished dinner. Boys will bathe, put on PJs and we will head to their home. You will love this. Just before dinner, Jacob crawled into my lap, we were having a fantastic cuddle session, he fell asleep and then I did. Jack woke me up so I could finish preparing dinner. I don't want to give them back to their parents. Think I will throw whiny fit!! LOL
Anyway, I will say good night now. We will be leaving shortly and it will be late when we get back.
Nite all! Sweet dreams!
Hello everyone...
We are back home from the hospital and Capt. Eagle is doing just fine. He has 3 stitches in his butt, but is feeling no pain at this time. The GOOD STUFF hasn't worn off yet;)
It is 64° right now and the rain has stopped. It has been a wonderful garden rain. I know my plants are happy and Megan can stop dancing now;)
OMG!!!n I just dealt with the meanest person in the world on the phone. I tried to help him and he told me I couldn't ask one question. Then I told him I would do what I could and he told me I couldn't talk anymore, so I didn't. That didn't work obviously. My poor supervisor came to help, same thing with her. He yelled, cussed, you name it. Hung up on her 4 times. What a way to end the day.
I told my supervisor that I wasn't glad she had to deal with him, but was happy to see it wasn't me who couldn't deal with him. There were about 20 notes on his account, almost all of them referred to his rudeness. He has been banned from calling Billing, only his wife is allowed to call.
Sorry, I really needed to vent!
Thanks, I feel much better! :)
Have to feed the dogs and turn on the weather. BBL
Wanda, what happened?
Deb, welcome to the world and dealing with the public. As a teacher I found out there are all kinds of rude people!
never underestimate the rudeness of people Deb....
I dealt with a lot of rude people at Target, but he takes the #1 spot.
I had a funny situtation at Target one year. A man came in and he had been drinking--it was quite obvious he had had too much. He came in to return a TV and he couldn't understand why we wouldn't give him his money back. I patiently explained that we would have to get the TV to give him his money. He thought that was so strange that we needed the TV. It took me a bit to convince him that we couldn't give him money for a TV he didn't have, especially with out a receipt!
Wanda what happened to Capt. Gene?
The Capt. had a "tag" removed last week (burned off) and it became infected. Had to have it surgically removed today. It is at the very end of his tailbone. He is now the "Butt" of many jokes to come;) Tee Hee
That fellow should be banned from using the phone for 1 year, Deb!
I thought that and you had to be the first. Tell him I said hope his butt gets better. LOL
Poor Captain Gene. I bet he is being a real pain in the butt too! :)
Sharon not our Capt. but wait until the good stuff wears off.
Oh, Deb, that is when you want to reach through the phone and strangle them. I worked at a telemarketing company (I know your job is different Deb) for 2 weeks one time and I quit. I couldn't handle all the nastiness on the other end. Glad I did because that is when I decided to go back to school to do what I am doing now.
Hidey peeping near the cam!
Evening, all!
What a nice design Hidey has made for us...
Wanda - sorry to hear about the Capt's butt!!
Jo - glad things are healing!
Deb...I have had to deal with some nasty customers...and employees too. Anyone who cusses at me...I tell them I will not listen to any profanity, and I hang up on them.
Rude customers - The rule is NOT to take it personally. The rudeness is
their problem! Some people though can knock you off your chair - Paula's approach is good medicine for them but a call for the supervisor is what you mostly need to do in your position.
You can always vent to us, Deb!
Sharon, I got an email from Chrissy and she said to thank you for asking me to send the video of Lolly getting fed dessert. I'll copy what she had to say.
Germany Gang not here yet. Hopefully Thur & if not then on Friday

One day when I find my stray brain cell pet,, I'll catch up with modern technology and learn how to use this computer properly [ yeah right ] who am I kidding !!!!
Right my friend,, in-between watching my Ospreys in Scotland,, I think I better go and rescue my washing out on the line in the garden,, it's raining like mad here and the winds getting up too,, so if I don't want to collect the washing from the next county,, I think I'm going to get very wet now,,,,,,
Oh well,, not had a bath this year,, so it's long overdue,,, [ laughing ],,,,

love and hugs

Never thought about the videos having the voices for those who haven't met us to be able to connect with us. Glad she was able to view them:)
For those of you who don't know Chrissy, she is from England.
Very good Wanda. Now if she could post a video for us to watch!
Over the Pond........ we say.
Wanda you are quite the caregiver!
Take care of the Capt - we need him to
be in the Driver's Seat comfortably!
I hope it isn't a 'still' pic on the OK cam... Adult & eaglet haven't move a feather!
I was only upset when he wouldn't deal with me. Once we started reading the notes from other calls and then I listened to how he spoke to Stacy, I knew it was him, not me. I learned from Target to let it go and venting is usually the way to get rid of the ugly!
Paula, at Target we all just told the swearers that Target was a family store and they had to use language appropriate for children. It almost always worked. When it didn't we showed them the door!
Checking out Hancock cams
Sidney's 3
Delta's 1 (Youngest)
Hornby's 1
All look to be doing well....
No adults on any of the cams right now.
The Decorah eagles the way the cam is aimed are HUGE!
Poor Capt. Gene, does he have a doughnut to sit on??
Jo, I am giving him the very best of care...I want to be chauffered by a "comfortable" driver too. I drove him home from the hospital and didn't like it very much. He is a backseat driver!:)
Two Harbors & West End nests have their
eaglets in the nest! No adults
AND the bear is at the Snowman cam
He sure is a regular!
Not checking anymore cams........
No, Deb...the boo boo is up too high for a donut to help. He says he doesn't hurt. He'll probably start feeling some discomfort around bedtime. Dr. said some motrin would take care of the pain.
He is just so glad to have the darn thing removed. He's been on stron antibotics all week and could not take any pain pills due to having the surgery. This is his first:)
I think the bear needs some clothes too. LOL
So we have a bare bear?
BTW - one of the TH eaglets took off yesterday afternoon...think the wind caught her...up up up she went...returned a couple of hours later. Don't know if she took any flights today.
ouch, sorry about Gene's butt boo-boo, hope it heals fast
good night everyone...
Night, Helen, Bear and a coon at Snowman cam. Well they were both there a second ago.
What a nekked bear?? guess it is not Pooh bear.
I had to drive hubby around yesterday- he is a passenger seat driver- I told him it was very annoying. I should've made him sit in the back.
Not fun to have a passenger seat driver, is it? I try my best to not be one, because I know how I don't like it. I think I succeed most of the time.
I hear lots of thunder, brb.
No warnings, but it is sure dark out.
OMG - butt boo-boo! That is so funny!
Big batch of heavy rain headed at us now.
Do they make a band aid for butt boo boos?
We just got a Severe Thunderstorm Warning, but it isn't anything like last night yet. The lightening is pretty, kind of pink when it lights up the sky.
LOL, Megan...they do make "Butt" bandages. I'm not sure what they look like, but Gene was sent home with a bag full of supplies. One of them said "drain sponge", and I just about had a fit. I said "you didn't tell me you had a drain...he said he didn't think he did and had to look to make sure;) I didn't want a "Drano" to take care of. No Drain. LOL
Deb, where do you go when there is a Tornado warning? Do you have a basement?
Having some pretty loud, rumbling thunder here right now. No rain at the moment. 63°
I do have a basement, but have only gone down once since I lived here. That time the tornado actually hit about 2 blocks away. Luckily, it was small and didn't do much damage. Only it's tail hit and then back up it went. That storm did a lot of tree damage though. Took a couple of weeks to haul all the branches and limbs away. All we had to do was put them on the curb and the city came and picked them up.
I am fascinated with storms and like to watch!
Catalina Report
Steffi has posted her new Catalina observations for this week. Very interesting pics, videos, and info this week.

Thundering here now, too, and it's about to start pouring.
I am like Helen, I love to watch a storm over the ocean. Something so very exciting about that. (Not a Hurricane!)
Thanks JIM...what a beautiful shot of the eaglet with the ocean in the background.
I like to watch them come over the prairie, you can see them so far away. The closer they get the taller the clouds seem. I haven't ever seen a storm over the ocean, other than rain maybe.
I got caught up playing my card game on this pc. No signs of a storm on this side of the mountain yet.
I really think that the OK cam Tree view is frozen! Just by looking at the time on it.
Steffi does post great updates. I look forward to seeing them every week.
Talk about a landing by an adult with a very large fish in talon..
Lake Washington just had one!
Almost landed on the kids! Both adults are there chowing down I guess the kids are next.
I remember many people talking about "storm cellars" in the area of Minn. we are from. They were very effective, but nowdays even if people have a basement, I don't believe they have them set up for the storm or tornado purpose.
It's a shame with all the damage we hear about every year from tornadoes. I think as many as possible should build them with storms in mind, and in trailer park/apartment complex situations, you could build communal cellars to protect against storms.

Did we ever find out if Lisa visited our nest while she was at NCTC?
I am glad (relieved) to know you have a basement if you need to use it for protection, Deb.
JIM, you should be in charge of Tornado safty and make sure everyone in unsafe homes or mobile homes have a place to go. I would vote for you:)
No Wanda we never heard. I don't know what class Lisa was taking at NCTC either. She did post on the eagle cam page about Bob Quinn's photo winnings
Lynn is having a good old family get together I bet!
Pick a place in the home where family members can gather if a tornado is headed your way. One basic rule is AVOID WINDOWS. An exploding window can injure or kill.
The safest place in the home is the interior part of a basement. If there is no basement, go to an inside room, without windows, on the lowest floor. This could be a center hallway, bathroom, or closet.
For added protection, get under something sturdy such as a heavy table or workbench. If possible, cover your body with a blanket, sleeping bag, or mattress, and protect your head with anything available--even your hands. Avoid taking shelter where there are heavy objects, such as pianos or refrigerators, on the area of floor that is directly above you. They could fall though the floor if the tornado strikes your house.
The bell has tolled! The day is done!
Good Night All
Prayers for all being said
((hugs)) ♥
Hoping to hear from Dana soon.
Capt. Eagle is now in bed and sound asleep. He has not felt any pain yet. I thought he was going to be a wimp, maybe even a pain in the BUTT, but not so far. Tee Hee
I'm tired to. Going to crawl into bed.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ME...I MEAN ALL
Prayers for both of you, Wanda, and also for Dana and Ed. I am off to bed to read, also. The rain is gone here, it was pretty much just a rain storm with a lot of lightening here in town.
I'm not too excited by storms generally, but since we only occasionally have it here and it is so dramatic, I tend to like the lightening and thunder..
I'm glad you all have come through your storms of the last days. Good to hear you back on the blog talking like lively folks.

just stopped by to look in on the nest. that spiderweb sure does show the wind. between that motion & the sound, i feel as if i'm up there in the middle-of-the-night storm.
We are home. Laurel and Joey got home safely and the boys are tucked into their own beds. I get to sleep late in the morning, but I miss my boys!
Wanda....sorry the Capt. has his toosch problem! hee hee Poor Capt! Will he live this down?
Heading to bed!

Aw, Bill, you called Hidey Whiney.
So glad it's not raining at the nest in WV, but those poor little guys at Duke Farms are soaked again.
GOOD MORNING LORI...
I thought I might catch a glimpse of Hidey if I got on here early, but it looks like I'm not early enough. He is a REAL EARLY BIRD! Oh, I think I hear him somewhere in the tree. Maybe if I'm patientn enough, I'll see him come down for nestovers:)
Good morning Wanda -
Was catching up on the blog and though I don't think I got the whole story on Gene's tush, I hope he feels better soon. :)
You getting rain there this morning? Still pouring here.
No rain here this morning, Lori. I think we have had enough for a few days! Our garden is so muddy, you can't walk in it. Hope it drys up a little...I will want to pick beans Saturday. I'll wear boots if necessary:)
Gene had a "tag" removed from his tailbone and it became in infected, so doctor had to do some cutting to get it under control. He's not awake yet...hope he isn't a "pain in the butt" this morning;)

Good Morning Eagle People.
There were tornado warnings in the Romney area, Hampshire County, from about 11:45 to some time after midnight overnight..this is Norma's County! I checked with Romney State Police, they said they didn't think any had touched down, but there were lots of branches and things in the road, and small stream flooding all over.
So, will be Good to Hear from Our Norma this morning !
I hear birds, including an eaglet, and now a woodpecker I think.
And maybe Hidey footprints !
xo
And There you Are Norma !
Whoo, you made it through the storms intact !
