A Split is gonna happen!

Mema Jo said...

S P L I T

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, guess it already did!

Mema Jo said...

It's a done deal

Mema Jo said...

Looks as though Spidey's web got knocked down

floralgirl said...

Dana, tell Ed I said HI:) so sorry to hear he is feeling so bad.

paula eagleholic said...

My eagle is gonna land in your tree, Jo!

wvgal_dana said...

Oh Lolly when we rented that Big RV and drove it to Boca Raton, Florida. I loved that house on wheels. I could just keep on traveling in that. The best sleep I ever had was in that RV. Had our animals right with us. Life was full of adventure around each turn ( : I didn't mind driving it either. I went right through Jacksonville and Ed slept through it. hee hee

paula eagleholic said...

You're right Jo, where did it go. Did Spidey take it down?

wvgal_dana said...

I didn't see what happen to spidey's web either. hummmmm

Thanks Megan...you be careful in all that mud. Don't want you sinking with no one to pull you out.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, did ya'll notice that Steve renamed our second Wednesday to Thursday? Ya'll just lost a day!

Mema Jo said...

I HADN'T BEEN WATCHING THE WEB
I thought maybe Hidey came in but
I don't see any bird in the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Nope, it wasn't Hidey that did it.

Mema Jo said...

I wonder when Steve did that?
He had me checking out the calendar as I was signing in this morning.

floralgirl said...

Well, darn, now I'm a day behind...
I did get a boot stuck in the mud today, Dana:) stepped right out of it.

Mema Jo said...

Looks like Finney is tenting over the osprey chicks. Mits said something about rain but they don't look wet.

Mema Jo said...

Spidey may have gone down to BWO

deb said...

I got lost in the split. I am tired tonight, so I am headed off to read for awhile.

Night everyone!

wvgal_dana said...

Oh Megan I just knew something would happen to you with all that mud.

Mema Jo said...

New cam on Hancock from Haines, Alaska
That is where the Festival is held every year in November.

wvgal_dana said...

Slept tight Deb reading is great to help one fall to sleep.

wvgal_dana said...

Sharon I'm slow sometimes....!!!!!!!! 6 DOGS !!!!!!!!! You need a vacation!!

Costume Lady said...

Sharon, I looked up Kure Beach and it looks like a good place for me and Capt. Soretush to go. Have you been there? Would there be parking large enough for the Eagle Express at the pier?

stronghunter said...

Dana, you were asking about a website where you can see your house. The one I mentioned is Google Earth. You download it on your computer (free download). You can type in the name of a place and it will zoom right to it. The pictures aren't live, but it is still very interesting. I had been trying to find the Hidey's nest, and finally did find it.

For some places, you can go to street view and go down your street and see your house. Those pictures aren't live, either, of course.

I do go on Trafficland sometimes to help my children get through I-95 traffic. That is live. Once, I was helping my daughter and was able to tell her they were just taking out the traffic cones. Then I saw her car go through.

stronghunter said...

earth.google.com

Costume Lady said...

Didn't know about that cam, Shirley. Seeing your daughter's car was cool!

paula eagleholic said...

Going to call it a night, too. I'm beat. Catch ya'll in the morning.

Costume Lady said...

Nite, Paula.

stronghunter said...

It's not in every city, but is in lots of places. She was on her cell phone and had called to ask me to help her decide if she should stay on I-95 or get off. I looked at the road ahead of her and watched men come out and remove the cones, so I told her they'd just cleared the roadblock. It was really cool to watch her drive through.

The Google Earth site is really fun. I could see the tomato plant in my back yard.

Mema Jo said...

Nite Paula

I am not far behind ya!

Wanda - is the Capt still not feeling much pain or discomfort?

Costume Lady said...

Jo, Capt. Soretush is feeling no pain, just sore. He is NOT being a whiner like he could be;) I'm taking good care of him anyway!

wvgal_dana said...

Shirley does earth.google.com refresh or is it the same picture for like a month?

I think that was cool about seeing your daughter going through the traffic.

Mema Jo said...

Good to hear that about the Capt!
You and Ceil need to start the Nightingale Club - my hubby would need to be a member!

Mema Jo said...

I need to put this computer to bed!

Good Night All
Prayers for all our needs
(((hugs))) ♥

Costume Lady said...

Hey, Jo...I like the Pajama Club best!

wvgal_dana said...

Nite Mema Jo sleep well

Plenty of excitement for you coming up ( :

Costume Lady said...

Nite, Jo, Dana and Shirley...I need some sleep too.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL

stronghunter said...

It is still pictures, but it starts out with the whole earth, and you type in what you want to see and it zooms in on it. I typed in something like "eagle nest, NCTC, Shepherdstown, WV," and it zoomed right to the nest.

It did show two different places for the nest, but I knew that the one we are watching is next to a barn, and I saw the barn. If you click on the icon near the nest, you can actually see photographs someone has taken. One is a beautiful one with a sunset or sunrise behind the tree.

I tried to copy it and put it in my blog, but I have not learned how to do that yet.

wvgal_dana said...

Night Wanda put a pillow between you and Gene's butt. So you don't roll over on him. Hope he continues to feel better.

hedgie said...

llymcGood evening, Eaglelanders!
Haven't finished reading the blog yet. Thanks for all Birthday wishes for my 90 yr. old Momma. It was a good par-tee!
I'm beat....and ready to hit the tub as soon as the news is over.
Luckily, no more rain today...last night was awful...heard the tornado warnings for Norma's area on the weather alert scanner...glad to hear that she was spared. Also glad that our Hidey didn't get washed away!

wvgal_dana said...

Evening Lynn with no E......bet your Mother was happy with the Birthday party for her.

stronghunter said...

Dana, I went back to the Google Earth site. Most of the pictures there were taken by Joel Deluxe. I had to enter "eagle cam," not "eagle nest." It looks like there was a camera set-up some distance from the nest at one time, and that is what it is showing.

stronghunter said...

Hedgie, happy 90th to your mother.

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Shirley sounds like if I found a house on it. It doesn't refresh that often.

stronghunter said...

No, it is still pictures. If you want to see your house, you type in your address, but it will be an older pictue. Sometimes they are very clear, sometimes not as clear. I do not want to think there is a camera up there watching my house live, to tell you the truth. I would be more particular about that than Hidey is.

wvgal_dana said...

Yea Hidey is a camera fan...he/she loves putting on for the camera. lol

Lolly said...

As usual I fell asleep with the computer on my lap. LOL

Better say good night before I fall back to sleep.

Nite all! Sweet dreams!

hedgie said...

Thank you for all the nice compliments so many gave me!!! You are all so sweet!
Slowly but surely catching up with you!!

stronghunter said...

Good night, Lolly. I got to sleep in this morning, or I would not still be here.

hedgie said...

Wanda, tell Gene that I hope he heals quickly w/o too k8uch discomfort.
My friend John that you all have prayed for is finally improving....off ventilator, and out of the medically induced coma...talking up a storm, his wife says!!! Thanks, dear friends...our prayer chain works SO WELL!
Found out that my youngest SIL is having back surgery on Mon. Hate to hear that any0one is going through that, but being only 38 makes it worse! Has a herniated disc that has not responded to any other treatment. he can't stay on light duty....and firefighters have to be able to lift and carry a lot of weight, so.....hopefully everything will be a success.
To tub and bed I go. See you sometime tomorrow! Prayers for all, and, again, thanks for EVERYTHING you say and do!! Love you gals and guys.

wvgal_dana said...

I'm following you out the door Lynn-Hedgie. Prayers for the back surgery. So happy John is improving. Continue prayers for their needs and healing.

Have a good rest.

Nite all
Prayers for those that ask and for those that haven't ask.
Praises for answered prayers.

stronghunter said...

Good night Dana and Lynn. I am going to have to call it quits as well. It is almost midnight. God bless.

Lori O. said...

Hiiiiiiiiiiidey...where's my Hidey?

Lori O. said...

There you are HIDEY!

Lori O. said...

The world smiles when Hidey returns to the nest.

We have the worlds prettiest, smartest, talented, most spoiled eaglet.

Lori O. said...

Hidey has left the building ... again.

S/he was eating on something earlier. I hope he somes back for a bigger breakfast with Belle & Lib later.

stronghunter said...

Just heard Hidey calling.

stronghunter said...

BBL

Bill said...

Thought I heard the critter,went back to look,not in nest!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning Eagleland!

stronghunter said...

Bill, I think I heard him / her awhile ago, too. Hidey was in the nest about 45 minutes ago--before I logged on.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I just heard an eagle, sounded like Hidey!

stronghunter said...

I lee a little one in the Finney nest. Adult left for a moment, and the little ones were all asleep. One woke up briefly, but they're flopped now.

stronghunter said...

I mean I see a little one.

stronghunter said...

Finney babies are saying, "Let me sleep just a little more, Mom."

stronghunter said...

Good morning, Sharon.

magpie said...

Good Friday Morning, Eagle Pals.
I heard the kid a few minutes ago, now all is quiet, sort of. Occasional squeals.
There are a few turkeys at PIX Pa to gaze upon while waiting for our Bird. And an occasional Deer at the salt lick, view is all gnarly though.
I saw Moon, Venus, Mars and Jupiter this morning but couldn't get a view for Mercury. I'll settle for a three-planet morning and the Moon. And you guys.

magpie said...

I bet is Jo is about excited as a person can be this morning ☺

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning SH and Magpie! Just heard Hidey again. She is not too far away! I bet if there was a food drop we would get a visual for sure! :0)

magpie said...

Wildflowers are busting out all over. Orange butterfly weed along the roadside, and milkweed starting to bloom.

stronghunter said...

Good morning, Magpie. Afraid I was not up before the sun this morning.

stronghunter said...

Is it just my computer, or is there some kind of strange black fog over the OK nest? Smoke?

stronghunter said...

I do not think it is my computer. It looks like smoke.

normabyrd said...

Bill said...

deb said...

Good morning, everyone. That was some great breakfast stealing by Hidey this morning.


I see what you mean about the OK nest, but I am not sure what it is.

Bill said...

I guess I am paying myself Norma,

normabyrd said...

I think the FINLAND OSPREY is waiting for DAD --to trade places---That #1 chick--pops up every few mins too!!---

Bill said...

At NBG---one at 11:00 one at 1:00

Bill said...

grannyblt said...

Mornng all. The nest site is quiet for me this morning.
Hey Bill, my cousin Bob has lived in Elkins for 30 years. He and his wife are in education. They wouldn't move for love nor money....well, maybe love. I hope to get down there to visit.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

normabyrd said...

BILL--Sorry!--I have just been giving you a hard time---ho!---I went to school with lots of kids from Elkins---many moons ago--before interstate--ho!--I grew up close Parkersburg--then lived in Charleston--married--moved to ROMNEY--& I still miss life on the other side of the mts!---ho!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' GRANNYBLT---Great to hear from you---I see you are an ELKINS fan too---That is such a beautiful area!!---what are the latest birds you have been watching???

Bill said...

Well, ya'll get that tropical weather on that side of the Allegeny Front,we're in the trundra most of the time.

Bill said...

Nobody is going to bring me any breakfast to my nest so I'm going to have to go into town and buy my own fish I reckon. BBL

normabyrd said...

MEGAN---If you are on---did you notice MITS gave you the same info about leaving the fawn alone---that she found from the NZ---I still remember when the DNR told us to leave the FAWN ALONE---I still wanted to move it--but we didn't & it was gone in the am--- I read that is what happened with your 'FAWN'----

normabyrd said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Just got word from the beach-bound folks. They are 3 hours away from the promised land, eating breakfast and heading out. I still don't like them today! :)

deb said...

I wouldn't like them either, Sharon!! Too bad you can't join them for a few days, at least.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Jo, give that Germany gang hugs from all of us! ((((((((HUGS))))))))))

normabyrd said...

Watched the BLUE HERONS!!---MOM HERON snoozing away----She woke up & so did these 'little fuzzy balls'----MOM began feeding them--that looks dangerous to me with her long bill---AWESOME SITE---

Mits said...

UPDATE FROM CALTRANS NEST......Patriot, Liberty and the Eaglets.....Friday, June 19, 2009
These photos from Wednesday, June 17, 2009 show two of the juveniles on the nest and one of and adult. There was one feeding about yesterday afternoon around 12:25 p.m. An adult brought a fish up to nest, ate some of it and left it there for the juveniles to find.

Discussions are currently being held regarding the camera and public feed for next season. The current camera was put in place to monitor the birds during construction and the effects it may have on the birds. Caltrans was fortunate to be able to make the video public, but the original system was not designed for that purpose. With that in mind, officials are meeting and discussing a better and more reliable system for not only the required monitoring, but for public viewing as well.

paula eagleholic said...

Hope they keep the webcam on...

Morning all:)
Gewgaw, now that is a new one to me....
Anyway, posted some pics of this mornings harvest on my blog, under Flowers of course. Disregard the lettuce in one pic, that's not for mkt., that's for dinner:)
Rain headed at us, looks like it maybe raining here in an hour or so.

Mits said...

just beautiful, Megan

stronghunter said...

OK eaglet is sitting on a small tree in the water again.

That had to be fog I saw earlier this morning, but it looked so strange. Guess it was so thick that it shut out the light and looked black.

Adult has left the Finney nest. I see one baby sitting up. They have grown.

GA-GIRL said...

B.E.A.U.T.FUL MEAGAN.. hmmm. I'll take one of each.. thank you every much...

stronghunter said...

Beautiful flowers, Megan.

normabyrd said...

MEGAN---Just read a new--"KEEP DEER AWAY"---involves milk on plants---have directions if you are interested----It is from a farmers column published in paper!
This is a good site-----****


ps -- GREAT FLOWERS---thanks for sharing them with us---

normabyrd said...

SHIRLEY---OSPREY MOM---back on 'LITTLE ONES'---missed again!

stronghunter said...

Someday I hope to grow more flowers and veggies. I have a few, but it seems that the time I should be plantinb is so busy at work that I can't do it all. So, for now, I will just enjoy looking at yours, Megan.

normabyrd said...

HEY KIDS!----MEGAN is just as beautiful as her flowers----

stronghunter said...

Norma, I see the osprey mom back on the nest. I had to shut down everything for awhile so I could download something, so I have not been watching for a little while.

Looks like I need to get out and mow some grass today before storms come again.

Osprey is looking right at me now. She is a beautiful bird.

stronghunter said...

I can usually coax my son into mowing the back yard if I get things started by mowing the front and at least parts of the sides. I bought a key-start mower. One thing I have never been able to do is start one of those pull-start things.

Finney bird off nest again. Can see little ones.

normabyrd said...

Thanks SHIRLEY!!---this MOM always looks a wee bit wind-blown---ho!---I agree they are beautiful birds---fun to watch too!!

floralgirl said...

Thanks all:) Norma, you are too kind, way too kind....
I've heard the milk recipe, thanks, lots of people are talking about it this year. Sticking with electric fence, and hot pepper spray here. And my trusty BB gun. careful, or....You'll shoot your eye out....

floralgirl said...

Rain has shifted, and looks like it might just miss us. Thank goodness. Going to water GH and get some outside work done, then I'll make those flowers into bouquets with my magic wand. POOF!

normabyrd said...

FINLAND OSPREY---feeding her young----The 3 'LITTLE ONES'--certainly blend well with their nest---& that's a good thing---ho!

Costume Lady said...

Good afternoon...
It has been a beautiful morning for working in the garden. I have picked peas, lettuce, green beans and a basketfull of gewgaws:)
Sweat is dripping on my gewgaws, so I thought I'd better come in.

Lolly said...

Lawn is mowed! I took only one tumble. Duh! Was edging the patio, bent over to pull something, tripped and went sprawling on the bricks. Skinned my elbow and bruised my hip, injured my pride! BUT worst of all injured my Hawaiian Ti plant, broke off a couple of leaves and hope that is all the damage. Time will tell.

GA GIRL .......Jack graduated from Tech in 1962, got his Masters in 1963.

normabyrd said...

MEGAN--I thought you may have heard them all--ho!---

Don't forget to click you magic slippers ONCE before you ZAP the bouquets together!!

Costume Lady said...

I'll bet Jo has had a thousand hugs by now! She has never seen Elizabeth, the 1 year old, so that is going to be extra special for her. Bless that Military Family.

Lolly said...

Wanda....I am jealous of your vegetable garden. We used to have a beautiful garden. Our trees have become too big and we no longer have enough sun to have a vegetable garden. Oh, I planted three tomatoe plants this year but they need more sun.

Costume Lady said...

Lolly, that is the worst thing that can happen when you are gardening. It's like breaking a child's limb! GeeGee bought some tomatoes to plant yesterday and when she got home, the top had broken off one of the plants...she was devistated. She said "I paid extra money to get a plant ready to bloom and now the bloom is gone!"

Lolly said...

My favorite picture of Laurel was when she was about two. She was clutching a bouquet of carrots that she had just pulled. It is an adorable picture.

Costume Lady said...

Same thing has happened to us, Lolly. One half of the garden is shaded most of the day now, so we jus plant half a garden. That is really all we need.

Lolly said...

I am thankful I did not bust the pot it is in, or break the plant in two, which I thought I had done.

We used to have corn, tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, lima beans, squash, orkra, lettuce and potatoes. Oh, I loved those new potatoes!

Costume Lady said...

Our grandchildren's favorite veggie is the potato, for obvious reasons. They didn't know they came from under the plant:) Our daughters always knew how things grew because they both came from the cabbage patch;)

Lolly said...

Forgot....black eye peas and carrots. And, we had the biggest black berries on the back fence.

Costume Lady said...

We have a beautiful bunch of raspberries growning on our fence (wild berries) but, I don't like raspberries. Love blackberries.

Lolly said...

LOL Our neighbors back then had a herd of cattle. He would bring in a few steers to fatten. Laurel would climb the fence to feed them hay. Jack had bales of hay to mulch the tomatoes. She even named them and they would come running when she climbed the fence. We never told her why they were there or where they went. Saved that for when she was grown.

Thanks Lolly, I have a cousin that graduated Tech, but can't remember what year. I will have to ask him. He is a couple years older than me. He went on to get his Doctrine degree, so it was probably middle 60's. Just thinking that their paths may have crossed.
