Well, doesn't look like Hidey is sleeping in the nest tonight. The Blob is even worse and Spidey is decorating the top! Last night I was too late to save a firefly still blinking from a small spider wrap, but knocked down the web & that beast won't be back!
Wanda, I hate to come empty-handed!! If you insist.....but I'd be happy to contribute. I love the Blondie Alert....but might not apply to ALL of our youngsters! Margy, senior discounts can add up!! You are old enough for AARP---if you are already a member, they might have something Amtrak-y listed in their offers!!
I said I was gonna finish stuff to get to bed early--DUH. Hopefully when the crowd dies down at the Park, I can read some comments tomorrow! Most of you will probably be celebrating, so Have a Capitol 4TH!!!!
I know what you mean, Lynn, but don't want you to bother with anything...just enjoy the evening with us. You know Gene loves to cook. He's doing ribs, New Yorkers, corn, cole slaw and GeeGee is making a fruit salad.
Thanks Steve. I'm new but everyone thanks you when a new blog appears, so here's mine. Hey everyone, those still up, does the little imp ever sleep over in the nest? I haven't seen him/her at night since s/he fledged. Or am I just not tuned in to his/her schedule? I having some withdrawal symptoms ... other cams don't have light.
Wow! Our squash is only about an inch long. New Yorkers are hot dogs served with saurkraut that has been cooked for 2 days in a slow cooker along with chunks of pork. Very good! Come join us and have some:)
Welp, hope Lolly made it home, Sissy is not too sore, and everyone has a good evening. Signing off for tonight....have to finish mowing the lawn in the morning, then out to find a fridge for Moms....haven't had much sleep this week...catch ya'll in the a.m.
I don't watch at night! Was mostly just going by what Jim and Andrea have said. Oh, well....mea culpa. Good night to all turning in...I'm following you out the door. Peace and prayers. Hope everyone has a safe and fun 4th!!
For those leaving, good nite and pleasant dreams. I tried to add a picture to my blog info but don't know if it worked yet. It a picture of one of my cats - MissChevious (Missy for short) on the kitchen windowsill sunning herself. She'll be mad when we close windows and put on the a/c. The cats have gotten a lot of exercise this evening with the windows open and firecrackers going strong. Some even scared me. They head upstairs at those times and maybe crawl under a bed.
Thanks Magpie. Just back home. Kennedy Center to see Color Purple. Didn't expect much. Bad review, tragic story as musical, and an American Idol winner as lead character. BOY WAS I WRONG! Really talented performers and Fantasia is a real show-stopper. Guess I shouldn't be so quick to dismiss American Idol winners.
Happy 4th of July all. Up because some celebraters drank too much and the police had to come. One police and about 15 celebraters. No one arrested but I can't get back to sleep. Jim called for backup because they had started to argue and only one police. He and the backup got them inside. One wanted to explain what happened. Police said are you going inside. It was funny. I thought you are going to spend the 4th in jail. He went in.
Good morning! Testing out the theory that the knocking at the camera is the wind--probably sometimes, but sometimes we hear it right before an eagle lands in the nest, and just now I hear it when the wind isn't blowing. Would be fun to see what is up there.
Can't be Spidey / Boris, regardless of how big he looks, he can't be that big! I've seen a long-legged spider and a short-legged one. The spookiest is the one with the long legs. . .
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES on this GLORIOUS 4TH OF JULY, 2009!!!---CONGRATS!--BEAUTIFUL CEIL---You are our #1 EAGLE MOM---today & every day!!!---Let us all SALUTE ---BELLE & LIBERTY!!---PARENTS of HEIDY aka MIRACLE!!---today---LET US ALL DANCE & CELEBRATE ON THIS DAY OF INDEPENDANCE---here in WILD & WONDERFUL WEST VIRGINIA!!---WAVE OLD GLORY & GIVE THANKS---LIFE IS GOOD!!!---GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
Judie--appreciate your review of Color Purple. Would love to see the play. I have to admit to being an American Idol fan and am happy to hear that Fantasia did well.
I read The Color Purple for a class I took some years ago, then used it for a course I taught. It generated some interesting discussions.
WHOA! MARGIE---One never knows if you are saying G'NITE or G'MORNING---ho!---You are so COOL!---I'll loan you my ID---(heck--after they see my birth-date---you will get to ride FREE for life) ho!
I saw 'The Color Purple' movie--many moons ago---80s!---I think I might like to see it again!---I am sure I would probably react entirely different now!----
Funny thing . . . when I taught the class, I planned everything around the theme of women's rights and worked the book and movie into the theme . . . somewhere near the end of class, one of my students commented, "Everything fits together. Did you plan it that way?"
Thank you Magpie. I feared Boris was a blogger of ill repute with very nasty habits. Might have had to add a "Boris Blocker."
Stronghunter: It might be interesting to assign characters from The Color Purple for my theories of personality class.
Nana PA: Welcome. I'm still a newbie yet everyone makes us feel very welcome.
I heard Hidey but no sign of him/her yet. I hope to get a glimpse later. No one home in OK and one eaglet on a branch at Dukes.
Thank you, Lynn. Lovely.
Off to get some coffee and the morning paper. Visiting the blog before coffee? I think I have an addiction and another example to add to the topic of addictive disorders.
Hope everyone is feeling well, mending and/or home with loved ones. God bless our military, police, and 911 operators who protect us everyday. Bless Hidey, the amazing symbol of all our freedoms.
I did read the Women's Room. At the time it was considered quite radical. When I saw the movie Color Purple I took the women's rights perspective. Last night the woman next to me and I kept saying "you go, girl" then we'd look at each other and laugh. Now I also look at the characters from a psychological perspective -- how did they develop?
Listening for a woodpecker . . . I always wondered why a woodpecker would peck on my house which has almost no wood exposed. I read that they do it to make noise to establish their territory. So the woodpecker has claimed my house.
Norma, I am sure they could do serious damage. Have you seen the spider thing recommended to scare them away?
We had birds nesting in our dryer vent and used a funny-looking ball thing with eyes to scare them away. The spider thing is sound activated and drops down making a noise. I haven't seen it except on the ad.
DAD was in the OSPREY NEST in FINLAND with two CHICKS snoozing---POW!!!---DAD took off---now chicks are alone!---But they are certainly camouflaged!! ---GOING TO CHECK BACK!!
SHIRLEY used all kinds of shiny plates & the best things---I hung a couple of those silver things one puts on their windshield on sunny days---They blew in the wind!!---

Good Evening Steve...Up a little late aren't you?;)
Thanks and have a great Holiday!
Hi, Ceil:)
Steve, Norma heard you on NPR this am!!! Maybe you an post an audio file of that for us!!
Wanda, what can I bring???? (besides a bib, LOL!)
Well how about that! A new late night thread...that's really great
Thanks, Ceil for the news and Steve for the action!
Oh, if there are any weak tummies on here, avoid the live cam....Boris is doing his acrobatics !
Hi Wanda and Lynn.
I hear ya' about that Week-end and Holiday work stuff, Loretta - I lucked out this week-end.
Good evening, all my eagle friends!
Hope everyone is doing well...haven't been online for several days...work keeping me busy.
Hopey everyone has a Happy 4th of July!!
Hey Margy. Was just about to look in on the nest. Think I will wait.
Good night all. Pleasant dreams.
Hi Margy, Ceil, Wanda and Lynne!
Aren't you up late Ceil? And Margy must have the night off...
Good to "see" your smilin' face, Paula
I know we can put out a "Silver Alert" for the oldies, but what do we name the alert for the Young'ns?
Like Paula, Megan...
Has Hidey been around?
I see the 30 second cam is stuck again :(
LOL, guess it never got unstuck from last week...:(:(
Oh Margy I have no idea what you would call that!
Hello, new thread!Hope Steve isn't becoming a night owl like me!
I never even got a chance to look at cam, but will now, Paula.
BLONDIE ALERT: Megan and Paula:)
Well, I don't really mean "Oldies" - just maybe those of us over 50 ☺
Hmmm, will have to ponder a name for the young'ns alert.
Hope you have some relaxation time for the week-end Paula...
Hi Paula. Good to hear you.
Hi Loretta. Will look at you pictures before I turn in.
LOl Wanda... more like a worked to death alert!
Great avatar Loretta.
I need to find a holiday avatar!
Blondie Alert, pretty good one Wanda
but Paula I think you hit the nail on the head !
Okay, I cooked for a change, and ate, now I have to clean up
:(
Lynn, it would be our pleasure for you to just come and enjoy the evening. Gene has his menu planned.
More than enough food for all.
Oh Yeah ! Love that Flag, 'Nut!
I am sad to say that I did not qualify for an AMTRAK senior citizen discount...have to be 62 for that. Oh well....I can live with that I think.
TTFN ☺
Hi, Ceil....goodnight, Ceil!!! Short visits are fun! Hey, hey, Paula (Megan, need a song link!)...sorry you are working too hard!!
Loretta love the pictures. Good night again. Doing a Margy. LOL
Ceil - I always love seeing your avatar, but that Seal is So Serious!!! Gives me a chuckle when I compare it to your bubbly personality !
Did I say TTFN ?
Lynn, just noticed your new Avatar...Cool!
Well, doesn't look like Hidey is sleeping in the nest tonight. The Blob is even worse and Spidey is decorating the top!
Last night I was too late to save a firefly still blinking from a small spider wrap, but knocked down the web & that beast won't be back!
Wanda, I hate to come empty-handed!! If you insist.....but I'd be happy to contribute.
I love the Blondie Alert....but might not apply to ALL of our youngsters!
Margy, senior discounts can add up!! You are old enough for AARP---if you are already a member, they might have something Amtrak-y listed in their offers!!
Night, Ceil!! Late shift for you too, huh? ☺
I checked my slug traps this morning and there were some lightning bugs in the trap. I put beer in the traps...so they were either dead or drunk;)
Just saw it today in an email, Wanda....had to grab it!! TY.
Wanda, if they were still blinking a lot, then they were partying!!!
I said I was gonna finish stuff to get to bed early--DUH.
Hopefully when the crowd dies down at the Park, I can read some comments tomorrow! Most of you will probably be celebrating, so Have a Capitol 4TH!!!!
I know what you mean, Lynn, but don't want you to bother with anything...just enjoy the evening with us. You know Gene loves to cook. He's doing ribs, New Yorkers, corn, cole slaw and GeeGee is making a fruit salad.
Loretta, I'd like to think they were partying;)
Nite, Ceil, again:)
OK, I read today's blog...Hidey in the nest 2X...what a treat...glad ya'll got to see him!
Don't think I've ever seen as many slugs as I have this year, Wanda....ugh.....
Wanda, what are New Yorkers???
I got my first squash today!
It's always a special treat to tune into the nest and see Hidey standing there...like, where have you been!
Sounds like quite a feast...yum, yum!
Thanks Steve. I'm new but everyone thanks you when a new blog appears, so here's mine.
Hey everyone, those still up, does the little imp ever sleep over in the nest? I haven't seen him/her at night since s/he fledged. Or am I just not tuned in to his/her schedule? I having some withdrawal symptoms ... other cams don't have light.
Wow! Our squash is only about an inch long.
New Yorkers are hot dogs served with saurkraut that has been cooked for 2 days in a slow cooker along with chunks of pork. Very good! Come join us and have some:)
I think Hidey has only spent one night in the nest since fledging. I'm not sure.
There...that's better :)
Costume Lady you're making me hungry! It's late but a snack won't hurt - much.
I think it's only been one night, too.
Yum, sounds good Wanda.
Hidey has spent more than one night in the nest...spent plenty after fledging....now is perching in branches near parents, I'm sure.
Welp, hope Lolly made it home, Sissy is not too sore, and everyone has a good evening. Signing off for tonight....have to finish mowing the lawn in the morning, then out to find a fridge for Moms....haven't had much sleep this week...catch ya'll in the a.m.
Night, all.
Hugs to all ♥
Nite, Paula...sleep in!
Hidey spent lots of nights flopped in the nest after fledging.
Sandman is knocking at my door;)
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYRS FOR ALL
PA NANA...a little snack is good!
Guess I didn't watch the nest at night often enough...didn't know what I was missing!
Nite.
I am ready to flop into my own nest. See you tomorrow!
I don't watch at night! Was mostly just going by what Jim and Andrea have said. Oh, well....mea culpa.
Good night to all turning in...I'm following you out the door. Peace and prayers. Hope everyone has a safe and fun 4th!!
Signing in to tell all you eagleland momsters good night.
Spent most of the day down the road visiting with Staff Sgt Ryan! WHoo Hoo!
He is doing very very well and looks great.
Have a great 4th tomorrow!
Hope the weather stays as great as today!
Prayers for all our needs!
(((hugs)) ♥
For those leaving, good nite and pleasant dreams. I tried to add a picture to my blog info but don't know if it worked yet. It a picture of one of my cats - MissChevious (Missy for short) on the kitchen windowsill sunning herself. She'll be mad when we close windows and put on the a/c. The cats have gotten a lot of exercise this evening with the windows open and firecrackers going strong. Some even scared me.
They head upstairs at those times and maybe crawl under a bed.
I see the picture showed. Who said you can't teach an old dog a new trick?!
Hi everyone,
Thanks Magpie. Just back home. Kennedy Center to see Color Purple. Didn't expect much. Bad review, tragic story as musical, and an American Idol winner as lead character. BOY WAS I WRONG! Really talented performers and Fantasia is a real show-stopper. Guess I shouldn't be so quick to dismiss American Idol winners.
Who's Boris? Is he really gross?
Night everyone. Back tomorrow sometime.
Judie
Probably too late to tell you Judie:
Boris is our resident Spider aka Spidey!
sometimes we just see his art work, but sometimes we see the artist AT Work. Not for the faint-hearted...
I just pulled "A Deb." Returned a call to a long-time friend...an hour later and I am seeing most everyone's "Good Nights."
xoxo
Really enjoy the Holiday Fanfare on all the creative avatars, AND, all the birds and cats and dogs and people's fancies...
Hey
It's Tomorrow!
Happy Anniversary Sissy and Tom ! Best Wishes for a Whole Lot of More Loving Years Together ! ♥ ♥
Oh, yes and Happy Independence Day to all !
And thanks to all the fighters and movers and shakers that have kept us Free...
God Bless America, and
God Bless Us, Every One
Black Bear celebrating the 4th at the Snowman Cam
Happy 4th of July all. Up because some celebraters drank too much and the police had to come. One police and about 15 celebraters. No one arrested but I can't get back to sleep. Jim called for backup because they had started to argue and only one police. He and the backup got them inside. One wanted to explain what happened. Police said are you going inside. It was funny.

LOVE & KISSES!!!
Judie--appreciate your review of Color Purple. Would love to see the play. I have to admit to being an American Idol fan and am happy to hear that Fantasia did well.
I read The Color Purple for a class I took some years ago, then used it for a course I taught. It generated some interesting discussions.
MORNIN! SHIRLEY!--keep us posted!--anxious to see what is making all that noise too!!
WHOA! MARGIE---One never knows if you are saying G'NITE or G'MORNING---ho!---You are so COOL!---I'll loan you my ID---(heck--after they see my birth-date---you will get to ride FREE for life) ho!
I saw 'The Color Purple' movie--many moons ago---80s!---I think I might like to see it again!---I am sure I would probably react entirely different now!----
I saw the movie back then, too, Norma, and showed it to my class.(Not a high school class.) If the play has a tragic ending, it is different.
Funny thing . . . when I taught the class, I planned everything around the theme of women's rights and worked the book and movie into the theme . . . somewhere near the end of class, one of my students commented, "Everything fits together. Did you plan it that way?"
you can't fool all of them all the time!! ho!---I watched the movie from a theme of woman's rights too!
Did you ever read the book--'The Woman's Room'---I think that's the title---think late 70s!!
Good morning, everyone!
Thank you Magpie. I feared Boris was a blogger of ill repute with very nasty habits. Might have had to add a "Boris Blocker."

HAPPY 4th 2009.
Judie
JUST GOOGLED---It's 'The WOMEN'S ROOM'---Marilyn French----WHOA!---that book was my wake up call---way back then---
MORNIN' JUDIE---REMEMBER---Have COFFEE while you blog!--ho!---works for me!
Ah, still haven't made it to the kitchen.
I did read the Women's Room. At the time it was considered quite radical. When I saw the movie Color Purple I took the women's rights perspective. Last night the woman next to me and I kept saying "you go, girl" then we'd look at each other and laugh. Now I also look at the characters from a psychological perspective -- how did they develop?
Judie
JUDIE---I remember after I finished reading it---I thought---Whoa!!---I knew that!! ho!
Yes, I put the coffee on to brew while I'm feeding George, then grab a mug and check the blog while I drink coffee.
Maybe the blog is addictive, but, professor, . . . is it a disorder? Surely some addictive things are perfectly healthy.
Rats! Knew I needed coffee. God bless our firefighters and nurses.
Good advice, Normabyrd!
Judie
Morning, all!
Do we have a woodpecker in our tree?
M/T NEST at the NORFOLK 'REBELS' site!!---Look to the right & check---'EAGLET HH SATELITE TRACKING'!!----WOW!----'a wealth of EAGLE info!!
MORNIN' PAULA!---I have no sound now!!----mine comes & goes!
Listening for a woodpecker . . . I always wondered why a woodpecker would peck on my house which has almost no wood exposed. I read that they do it to make noise to establish their territory. So the woodpecker has claimed my house.
PAULA----LOVE YOUR AVATAR----
Got a good 8-9 hours...feel better!
Happy Anniversary Sissy & Tom!
What a pretty morning...gonna have a couple cups of coffee, then mow the front yard...
SHIRLEY--I am laughing now--but last spring they were pecking on my house---NOT FUNNY!---I have REDWOOD SHINGLES!!!!----
Shirley - sent you an email.
Judie - glad the play exceeded your expectations!
Norma, I am sure they could do serious damage. Have you seen the spider thing recommended to scare them away?
We had birds nesting in our dryer vent and used a funny-looking ball thing with eyes to scare them away. The spider thing is sound activated and drops down making a noise. I haven't seen it except on the ad.
Shirley - of course it is perfectly healthy to sit in front of the computer, watch the eagles, chat with friends, and get a numb butt! LOL
Got one of those owls down here in my basement you can have!
We have an owl here around our neighborhood...hear him all the time.
DAD was in the OSPREY NEST in FINLAND with two CHICKS snoozing---POW!!!---DAD took off---now chicks are alone!---But they are certainly camouflaged!! ---GOING TO CHECK BACK!!
Paula, I answered your e-mail.
Paula, it's comforting to know that what we are doing is healthy. It's just the coffee that is addictive.
The OSPREY CHICKS are still alone!----They are peeking out of the nest--please come back MOM!!
Got it Shirley...and thanks!
Exactly, Shirley! gotta have that coffee!
The knocking noise is gone.
NEW THREAD..
Good morning, it is so nice to wake up and feel normal! I am even hungry, but going safe with dry toast.
Oh, I read that finney water nest is working! And has 2 or 3 chicks! How cool is that, will have to check it out.
SHIRLEY used all kinds of shiny plates & the best things---I hung a couple of those silver things one puts on their windshield on sunny days---They blew in the wind!!---
And did Red pop in recently?
PAULA---What kind of OWL do you have in your basement???---WHOA!---How did that happen?---At least--you won't have any mice--ho!
Oh cool, the Finney water nest is on! The chicks have some pretty good camoflouge.
Hey Norma, Mits says there's a new thread!!!
