I must go to Market or the tomatoes will all be gone.

Enjoy Hidey in our nest... been there since 4:19 pm

hedgie said...

You made it through, Jo!!! Happy 'mater shopping.

wvgal_dana said...

Hi to ALL in Eagleland and Watchers.

Happy Birthday Tai

Sad about baby elephant :(

Sharon way to go!

Good for Lynn-Hedgie

jmp said...

Hidey is very vocal. Maybe thanking all his eaglet fans for trying to save the D.C. eagle domain. Seems as if some of the efforts may already be gaining needed attention. I'll do more tomorrow.

Happy birthday to the panda boy. Was cute to watch him tackle his birthday treat this morning.

Judie

paula eagleholic said...

OMG Hidey is in the nest again?!

2 visits in one day!

wvgal_dana said...

Now that is cool hel---l0 Hidey ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Awww the puppy sound tee hee

wvgal_dana said...

In reading comments sounds like Wanda has made a connection. I am so happy for her. I always got so excited when that happened.

Does anyone know how Anna-Marie is doing?

Mema Jo said...

I'm back with a sack full of 'maters!

Don't think anyone has yet heard from Anne Marie, Dana.

Ed had Dr today - right? I'm praying along with everyone on here for his health!

wvgal_dana said...

I have called the Sierra Club in Washington, DC. Left my phone number for them to call me back. They have a news room. That I am certain would be interested in the Eagles land being destroyed.

Mema Jo said...

Is Norma still AWOL? I didn't read the early early am comments to see if she were on. I know she went to Cumberland and I know her grandkids from FL were in Frederick but don't think she planned to meet up with them yet.

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Mema Jo about Anna-Marie. I'll just keep my prayers going.

Oh my Mema Jo-yes Ed had dr appt. not good. 2 weeks was as soon as they can get him in to see thoracic surgeon. His pulmonary dr. will be meeting with this dr before our appt. Pulmonary dr. said Ed is not a good candidate for any surgery. He is very worried. If they wait and it is cancer that is bad. If they don't wait and go in and remove nodule that lite up high on PET SCAN and not cancer that too is bad. Will create more scarring in lungs for Ed. Which of course will make his breathing worse. Which is terrible now pulmonary said. So we will see what surgeon thinks in 2 weeks.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Dana, my prayers will certainly be with you and Ed.

jmp said...

Dana,

You and Ed are in my prayers daily. I know everyone is praying for the best. It is especially nice that you took time to contact Sierra Club.

Judie

Mema Jo said...

I pray they could do something to improve Ed's breathing somewhat. Frederick Memorial has a Cyberknife - for patients that are NOT good surgery candidates - like Ed & me. The thoracic surgeon who did my biopsy said that if there were a next time I would need to go that way. Such Joy!

wvgal_dana said...

Judie you have done wonderful work on trying to help protect these Eagles. I thank you for the places also to write.

Mema Jo--Norma went to Cumberland to get the appliances. Haven't heard from her since. I think she ditched the "plumber" and ran off with the "appliances guy"!!!!

deb said...

I am home and looking at HIdey! How great is that, I wish I had seen the adult, too.


We had another inch of rain and have flash flood warnings out, with more rain expected later tonight. This mornings weather said we were done until next week, how can they be that wrong between morning and afternoon! I guess the streets were flooded this afternoon, .71" of rain in 15 minutes.

deb said...

Dana, I hope you get some encouraging news from the surgeon!

deb said...

I need to go and plug in my sump pump.

wvgal_dana said...

This seems to be a long time I keep asking for PRAYERS but I know everyone will continue. That is why I don't give up...I know God is hearing all of your prayers. I truly and honestly thank you for them. Hugs for the Prayers.

Oh my Deb Mom has a sump pump..praying yours hold out.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Raining pretty hard in Bluefield right now.

magpie said...

A three-Hidey visit for me today, though the first was less than 30-seconds early this morning. Such a beautiful view right now. Picture perfect.

Dana - - The Prayer Chain-Gang is at work for you and Ed....
God Bless You Both.

xo

magpie said...

Going to be busy in Deb's neck of the woods no doubt with all the rain - be careful Deb

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hidey in that nest with the shadows the way they are is absolutely breathtaking!

magpie said...

I could eat about a dozen tomato sandwiches right about now, thanks for the suggestion JO - but I don't have any tomatoes !!
:(

magpie said...

There is something "Native-American Indian" about that view at our nest...
Stunning....

Good Afternoon Eagle Pals xo

magpie said...

Two big things I haven't marked off my to-do list today, vacuum (Woof! ) and transplant some flowers...think I'll do the second one first ! ☺

magpie said...

Dana - you keep on asking for prayers for as long as you want, in fact, you don't even need to ask anymore...

deb said...

I thought I had unplugged the sump pump, but it is working away.

Bill said...

Hey Normabyrd,I got a call back from Sen Byrd's office today.They want me to give them some more info about the D.C. nest.I will give them a call tomorrow during office hours.You were right.he might care!!!

magpie said...

sure glad those poop shoots don't strike the lens!

that was a healthy one !

Indiana Dave's Pictures

deb said...

Dinner is cooking, I am getting used to this new routine.

Bill said...

Sure is good to see Hidey this evening!First time for me for a long time.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hidey is so beautiful and so LOUD!

deb said...

Check out Dave's pictures if you have a chance. He has some really great ones, once again. I love the raccoon pictures!

Mits said...

yes they are good pics, Deb, thanks dave.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Justin said hello to everybody and thanks for his well-wishes. He is doing much better. We haven't heard anything from the police yet.

Mits said...

has the bully bothered him anymore?

deb said...

I liked the Pelican picture taken from the plane, too. That would be fun to see from above.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

No, we haven't seen him.

hedgie said...

Bill, please catch the name of the person you deal with at Byrd's office!! If it's Chris Tissue, he's the son of a friend of mine!!

Mema Jo said...

Margy Did you go to Wanda's garden - she said just to leave her one for her BLT! The ones I got are beautiful and taste delicious. That's what I had for my dinner - tomato/cheese sandwich. Tomorrow I get some bacon! Come on over!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Poop shoot, redecorating and probably getting ready to take off after lightening the load.

Mema Jo said...

I called Norma
She laughed about us thinking she ditched the Plumber and took off with the Appliance guy! lol Her appliances do get delivered this upcoming Wed.
She has just been busy busy with her Wellness Ctr activities - Said she feels great going early morning hours.
She has been reading - BUT she will be on the blog tomorrow - Computer is ok!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thanks for the Normabyrd update, Jo! Glad all is well with her.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I want to be as fit as she is when I grow up.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And Hidey didn't take off yet. She has been there for a long time and I am loving it.

deb said...

Sharon, I want to be like Norma, too, all that energy and enthusiasm!

jmp said...

I think Norma is with M. Barry as the charges were dropped this morning so he now has time for a new extracurricula daliance.

Judie

hedgie said...

Dave, pics are great....as always! You sure have been busy!

Mema Jo said...

Headed over to younger son's
He needs to look at my Toyota - certain light coming on!

BBL

magpie said...

Something seems about to happen our nest...watching, waiting, chirping...love those leaves in the nest with Hidey.

Deb - Thank you so much for posting the link to I-Dave's photos! Many I could never open before..how about those bob white quail, all the other neat things, AND ALL THE EAGLE PICTURES...

So very nice....

magpie said...

And PS Dave

Thanks for sharing your views of nature with us! Spectacular~

jmp said...

Ah, I think I have a clue about Hidey's real identity. Hidey is really not an eagle but a very small feathered swine as he/she has stayed around just to play the "ham" for us today.

Judie

jmp said...

Hidey just left. Hope for a return tomorrow.

Judie

deb said...

It was a nice, long visit. And I missed the first part of it. Off to feed the dogs.

Bill said...

YEP,I was checking some e-mails and missed the take-off

hedgie said...

HO---thanks, Jo---glad that Norma is fine!
Dana, ask that they send the biopsy tissue to Georgetown for another analysis! PET scan disc, too! I have contact info--I can send it to you if you want it. The only kind of surgery that Ed could do is cyberknife; there is another procedure that they are doing at GT that is not done anywhere else around the east coast that has been very successful, too.....but GT is going to make very sure that it is CA before they even contemplate doing anything.

hedgie said...

Katy Couric had Tai's birthday party on the CBS Evening News tonight!

Costume Lady said...

Dave's photos are great! I loved the one of the Morel mushroom best! Just wanted to take a bite out of it! LOL

magpie said...

Ditto the Thanks to Mema Jo for checking on our Sunshine Norma - sure hope she can visit us on the Wear Red on Friday Morning ☺

Oh Yes Me Too Wanda ! Loved those.

Okay, who is toot-tooting at the nest - maybe it is Late Night Steve ?

magpie said...

I don't cook a whole lot but I can whip up a mean batch of wild morels with egg batter and onions and butter - Yum ! Been too long since I had some to cook with !

magpie said...

Okay back to work...done one room moving to the other :(

hedgie said...

My letter to Audubon came back w/ an error message saying that it couldn't be delivered in 3 hrs. and was removed from the queue....will try sending again!

deb said...

I just heard from Roger. He had damage from this morning's storm. One broken window, a lot of hail dents to the window frames and his flowers ruined. He and Donna have a beautiful yard. :( He built a stream and pond in his backyard, it is surrounded by all kinds of flowers.

paula eagleholic said...

MIght be a guard tooting the horn!

stronghunter said...

More horn blowing! Good evening eagle buddies.

Grandson and daughter just left with a plate for her hubby. He was too tired to come over after a long day at work, but was hungry and wanted some pork chops.

stronghunter said...

I see I missed a lot of messages while I was gone. You all have been busy.

Mema Jo said...

Shirley How close do they live?

Just got back from son's. Car should be ok.

Eating a cheese & cracker snack.
Sandwich didn't fill me up at dinner.

Mema Jo said...

I think tomorrow I need to pick up in advance 3 movie tickets for the Potter movie. My 17 yr old gs reminded me that I started this ritual with the 1st movie for him and his younger brother. I have to get the book out so I can at least remember most of the story!

Mema Jo said...

I show on the schedule for my Zip that the ISS at
08:49:38 pm ESE 08:50:45 35° -2.6 (very bright)

I am going out on the deck BUT I think I have too many trees around....

stronghunter said...

I am very fortunate. They live about 15 minutes away.

I remember how many times my mother said she wished we lived closer. It would have been nice, and I truly appreciate it now that I am on the other side.

Of the other 3--one lives with me and the other two live in the DC suburbs.

Lynne2 said...

Well, didn't see the ISS, not high enough to clear the trees. I think we'll go to another spot up the road to see tomorrow.

Love Dave's pics! Thanks for the link, Deb!

Mema Jo said...

Sounds like me - all 5 live within 15 min to 1 hr away from us. Convenient for them and for us! Did I ever tell you that 'I love Family'

Mema Jo said...

I did not see the ISS... BUT I saw
bright lights flashing on the tails of the fire flys!

Lynne2 said...

Me too, Jo! They are out in force tonight!

Mema Jo said...

Dave's pics of the little raccoon are great! I sure like the Bull Frog!
I bet Wanda likes the Fox in the field.

stronghunter said...

Did not see the ISS either, but enjoyed the nice evening air.

Mema Jo said...

I do love the cool summer evenings

Mema Jo said...

I am looking at the Lake Washington nest again and still only see the 1
eaglet. I am being convinced that the other has fledged. Both the eggs hatched on 4/29 - same day.

magpie said...

Deb so sorry to hear of the damage to Roger and Donna's house and yard...glad to hear no injuries reported...

It was a beautiful sunset here, these cool nights are something else! No ISS in these parts tonight, will be Friday though.

Well, a little more cleaning to do, this phase of it anyway.

Nice to see folks here tonight, as always, nice to be home to enjoy it ! ☺

paula eagleholic said...

I saw lots of lightening bugs while I was out water the flower gardens :)

paula eagleholic said...

I got lots of video today...off to make a movie :)

Mema Jo said...

A tribute to Tai on this his 4th b-day was given on the Daniel's Multiple Panda Cam Feeds' home page. The video of Tai's birth through his 1st year is great! Brings back lots of memories!


Link to Tai's Tribute

Mema Jo said...

I'll be back around 11:00 news time.

Costume Lady said...

Paula, had to tell you...Gene fixed BBQ shrimp this evening as per your instructions. They were WONDERFUL! He used spicy sauce on half and regular on the other half. Both were delicious. Takes a while to prepare them, but well worth it:)

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

Hi deb your the best,thanks
for passing on the flickr site
so all can see.

Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave

Lynne2 said...

Dave, great pics and thanks for sharing them!

Good nite everyone!

paula eagleholic said...

Glad you enjoyed it Wanda...it is definitely worth the prep time!

Dave - glad to see you back...will check out your pics, too.

Costume Lady said...

Yep, Dave, Deb ia like having a remote control. As soon as we wish there was an instant link to a site..Deb has it on here. We're so glad to have her and glad that you share your photos with us. The two of you could probably have a blast together with your cameras and some wildlife:)

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks for all the email addresses and sample letters to write about the habitat destruction of the DC eagles...I have saved them to be able to send in my concerns as well!

paula eagleholic said...

Had to make Part 2 of the movie before part 1....couldn't get all the files I needed home tonight...will finish my part 1 tomorrow night...part 2 is still processing.

magpie said...

You have us on the edge of our seats Paula -
Eagles? Lightning Bugs? Both - will be fun to see when it is ready No Doubt !


Wanda - I enjoyed all my picnic leftovers this week! You guys can cook!

magpie said...

Moonie is rising slowly - I haven't checked but I think it and Jupiter will be pretty close together tonight and tomorrow both. Moon and the next brightest object closest to it is Jupiter.

deb said...

I am off to read for awhile. Night everyone.

stronghunter said...

Good night. See you tomorrow.

hedgie said...

I've got a question, Wanda and Paula...I've got the shrimp....but I've never tried to peel raw shrimp. Is there a secret???? Think I remember reading once to use a sewing seam-ripper--but where do you start???

hedgie said...

Paula, did you go on a field trip today??

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - so glad you could visit us today. Continued prayers for Ed.

paula eagleholic said...

Dave love your pics. Love the crawfish fighting. Reminds me of looking for crawfish in the creek behind our house when we were kids.

Costume Lady said...

Lynn, nix the shrimp that needs to be deveined...we buy the ones that are EZ peel. The shell practically falls off when you grab the tail while holding top of shrimp and pull. There is such a device expressly for shrimp and does work very well, but takes forever. The device itself, looks like a shrimp.

paula eagleholic said...

I start on the underpart of the shrimp where the feet? feeler? things are. Sort of split the shell there, then unwrap around the shrimp...remove around the tail last.

paula eagleholic said...

No lightening bug (firefly) in the video. Saw them tonight while I was watering the flower gardens. No field trip either! Just work! Lots and lots of work.

Costume Lady said...

I see you already have the shrimp, Lynn. Take your ripper to the top of the shrimp where the head was cut off and push it in til you get under the vein and rip it clean back to the tail and discard.

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, video is ready!

Part 1 tomorrow night!! lol

It's Mine, All Mine, Part 2

Costume Lady said...

Shell should then come off easily. I've never tried Paula's method...may be better:)

magpie said...

I guess, is it a good sign that things are busy at your workplace Paula... with the economy the way it is, I guess any busy business is a good sign...but too much busy is never a whole lot of fun. I'm glad it is Friday for you tomorrow ☺
Okay on to the video of action that I missed !

Mits said...

sunny at Finney's O's nest, and cloudy and rainy at Finland's O's nest

Mits said...

Good night everyone. Peace and prayers for all.

paula eagleholic said...

Night Mits!

Wanda, your method might be easier. I haven't ever used the deveiner....sounds easier!

hedgie said...

I'll probably try it over the weekend...thanks for tips/hints! Sounds like it might be worth the extra cost of buying it already peeled!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Hope you can watch it Margy...I can't seem to get back on there now...

hedgie said...

Going to watch Paula's video, and then bath and book. Good night, fowl friends. Peace and prayers. "See" you tomorrow!

paula eagleholic said...

Wow that was some cake for Tai, just saw it on the news.

Costume Lady said...

Loved the video, Paula! I haven't seen Hidey in a week. Feel like I've had my FIX now:)

paula eagleholic said...

Easy peel shrimp are the easiest!

magpie said...

Five-Star Paula - great, over 70 minutes that poor soul was worried about the food!

And the construction workers banging and sawing the whole time!

Thanks!

Costume Lady said...

Margy, by the time you get back from Mass. our tomatoes should be more abundent and we can drop off a bag each time we pass by going to GeeGee's. If you already have some, give them to your neighbors. Will have squash to spare later on too:) Lynn, do you have a garden?

paula eagleholic said...

Margy - business is slow...paperwork never ends!

paula eagleholic said...

It's been forever since I've seen Hidey too...and then 2 visits today. At least I was able to record one of them!

magpie said...

Good Night Helen and Lynn, and anyone else ready to roost.

I have a few more chores to attend to - including watering the plants I transplanted....

Paula - I hear ya' -
things are completely unpredictable where I work, except for Friday and Saturday nights, almost always busy. Take Care.

Hope everyone gets a good rest tonight....and I hope you can find a little RED to wear on Friday.

God Bless Us Every One, and Big Prayers for those in need

xox ♥

paula eagleholic said...

Hitting the hay...still have green tomatoes here...did get some ripe ones from the veg stand last weekend...been enjoying BLT's this week.

Night all!

Hugs to all ♥

magpie said...

We have noticed, the worse the economy, the more the crime. People take what other people have worked hard for. Sad.

magpie said...

I sure hope we hear from Megan and Norma on Friday, and many others we miss on here !

Costume Lady said...

Well, Margy, I guess your job will never be in danger...there will always be emergencies and crime.

I'm ready to end this beautiful day. Hope tomorrow is as nice (low humidity).

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL...SPECIAL ONE FOR
DANA AND ED

Mema Jo said...

The news is over and I am ready to turn off computer...

Good Night All
Prayers for everyone being said
(((hugs))) ♥

Red shirt is out & ready!

magpie said...

Well, I feel very fortunate that I get to see a little bit of Megan on my front stoop every day! Snapdragons and marigolds, Salvia and a few other specials. Hedgie is my witness!
Just gave them all a nice big drink of water! ☺

Jupiter, to the lower left of Moon, in the East, SouthEast.

Definitely time for a tubby!

Nighty-night xoxo
