magpie said...

And a big Happy Birthday to Wanda's Mother GeeGee too

magpie said...

I see that there is only one chick at Finland Water Nest...Jim mentioned it on the other thread, and now I am backtracking to find what other news there is.

stronghunter said...

Brought this over from the other thread.

Good morning everyone!

Thought you would be interested in this article:

Crow's Nest Preserve in VA




I was interested in the mention of Hal Wiggins. I met him some years ago in connection with a wetland issue in my neighborhood.

deb said...

Good morning, hope everyone has a wonderful day.

magpie said...

GREAT Osprey Pictures, Deb.
Hope you have a good day today.

magpie said...

Our nest looks pretty today, empty, but pretty.

I saw the local family of deer, think there are three 8-points and a 6-point, and one doe. Beautiful, antlers still in velvet.

magpie said...

My "little one" heads back to Florida this morning, flies out of BWI around noon. It was a short but very sweet visit. Step-daughter this is, 32 years old.
The grandson is going to miss her.
Me Too.

Best Wishes for a Good Day for all

Hope we hear from Dana today.

xo ☺ ♥

deb said...

Good morning all. First HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO VICKY AND GEE GEE.
Shirley good news about the preserved land.
Margy did answer the other day was in shock when you said you used to cuss. Can not believe it.
Deb have a good one.
Off to get a cup of tea.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I have never cussed a day in my life! :)

Happy birthday Just Vicky and GeeGee!!

Good morning to all my eagle budlets! Working now and heading home later today.

ceil said...

Margy meant to say I did not answer because I was in shock.
Sharon I know you don't I try not too but it slips out. The devil makes me do it. Better get that tea.

stronghunter said...

I have a meeting this morning for my dual enrollment class. Must get ready. BBL.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Morning Mits!

Mits said...

morning Sharon

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mits, you know that I am angelic, right?

Mits said...

ah, right, yeah, you are very angelic.......lol...your wings get in the way when you are walking down the street:)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

They really do. It is bothersome sometimes but it is just a cross I have to bear!

Mits said...

nice to see one of the Finland chicks has fledged....

floralgirl said...

Angelic......must look up the definition...
Howdy all:)

Mits said...

and I just love what you have done with you halo, nice touch:)

Mits said...

speaking of Angelic, good morning Megan

floralgirl said...

That word should never be used to describe me.
Hello Mits:)

Mits said...

Megan you are our garden angel....

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yes, Good morning Megan! Did you see the pic yesterday on here of my hot lips salvia?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And I am the BS Angel!

floralgirl said...

lol.... That's a good one, Mits.

Mits said...

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
MEGAN, what is your take on the shade tree/bush growing in our nest? What does it look like to you?

floralgirl said...

I'm not sure, I was thinking a datura plant.

Costume Lady said...

Plant looks like a member of the Nightshade family.

ceil said...

Mits I was going to call you last night when Jim gave the panda news.
Hope all goes well. Might have to sent Mei out west.

floralgirl said...

Datura is in the nightshade family.

Mits said...

Mei Xiang was received Gao Gao's sperm back in 2007, it didn't work

Costume Lady said...

If the plant blooms, we may be more able to tell what it is. I guess the cam repairers will pull it out before it has a chance to bloom...we may never know!

ceil said...

Mits I know but maybe she needs to see him in person. LOL

Mits said...

I think you are right, Ceil....

floralgirl said...

Yeah, I mean the best sperm deliveries are delivered in person...

Mits said...

I hear Gao does not like to fly...lol

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

ROFLMAO!!!!

ceil said...

Most pandas don't like to fly. They are very timid. I have got to run. BBL

floralgirl said...

Well, get up off the floor and get back to work...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

K, will do!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Where did everybody go?

hedgie said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VICKI!!!! Hope you have a wonderful day!!
And also HAPPY BIRTHDAY,GEEGEE!!!

Lolly said...

Good morning! Lotta people on here this morning that are "full of it!" LOL Sassy group!

Guess what?! Loweeda's rain dance finally worked!! We got a little over 1/2 inch of rain during the night. Around 5 this morning a good ol' thunderstorm rolled through. LOL Jack and I were on the patio to watch...water falling from the sky!!!! PTL

hedgie said...

Forgot to say good morning!
So, let me get this straight...Sharon is on the floor, crushing her wings while she daydreams about Pat Monahan....Wanda and Megan are talking about deadly plants....Margy is hopefully asleep, dreaming about her lovely visit with her SD...Mits is still bumming at the beach....Deb is off to work...Ceil is sipping tea...Shirley is on a joy ride in her fixed car....DID I MISS ANYONE???? LOL. Hope everyone is enjoying their morning so far!

Lolly said...

Wanda...Happy Birthday to your Mommy!☺ Give her hugs and love from all of us!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Oh, Lynn, beautiful descriptions! :)

Lolly said...

Yes, you missed me, Lynn!

hedgie said...

Margy and Wanda...this one is for you....just heard a report that 2 dump trucks were seen dumping trash over the side of the mt. at Parks Gap......gone before police/DNR could get there...what scum bags! Caller DIDN'T get license numbers apparently.

Sideling Hill exhibitn on I-68 in Hancock, MD has gotten at least a temporary reprieve on closure...will be kept open 4 days a week until Sept. 1st.....community officials still working on further plans.

floralgirl said...

I just remembered I had leftover blueberry pancakes in the fridge from yesterday morn...brunch anyone?
Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Vicky and
GEE GEE!!!
And hurray, Lolly got some rain! We've had over 3" of rain here since last Thursday. Yahoo!

hedgie said...

Oops....Lolly is laughing in the rain and splashing in the puddles!!! Yippee!

Lolly said...

Megan, I would love blueberry pancakes. Will be right over!!!!
Yes, that half inch of rain fell all over my yard. Got the water bill yesterday. Jack says I don't want to know what it is. I don't!

hedgie said...

Sweetest doggie love story on the CBS news this am....trying to find an online link...no luck yet. Tennessee family of 5 in a wreck and were all taken to hospital. Dog left at scene. Passerby kept seeing dog there day after day....after 12 days she "rescued" the dog...found where she had made piles of families' possessions scattered in wreck. Lady found insurance info and called agent, who put her in touch with owners....and dog was reunited with her family!

Lolly said...

Oh, I am going to cry! What a fantastic story, Lynn!

Lolly said...

http://www.examiner.com/x-13793-Seattle-Pet-Health-Examiner~y2009m7d29-Dog-reunited-with-family


Lynn, lost my blue thing instructions! I googled Tennessee car wreck dog family reunited and found it.

hedgie said...

Lolly, hope your G&T settled you a bit last night. Hope your lawyer gives you good guidance.

Lolly said...

I am going to get some chores accomplished today! So.....I am outta here. Have a great day everyone!

Giving thanks for the rain!!

hedgie said...

Thanks, Lol!!! Good work....I was just waiting for CBS to post it online...didn't even think to google it....duh!

Lolly said...

Jack has called Gina's lawyer. Hope we don't have to wait around all day to hear from him.

I want him to tell us we are not needed. I do not want to be involved in this kind of thing.

Lolly said...

I forget to google, too. It is amazing what you can find when you do! Love my computer!

Lolly said...

Really, got to get busy!

Bye! Lynn, have a good day!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Oh my, what a beautiful story!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning! Made the mistake of going to emails first - the pics Suzanne sends are fantastic!

Lot of moving & grooving on here!

Happy Birthday Vicky

Happy Birthday Gee Gee


Vicky - hope she comes in for a Hello - she is riding down the hgwy with BRS and his road crew !
Gee Gee - I surely hope to meet you one day!

Mema Jo said...

Oh my how I want to see Hidey!

Could you save me just 1 blueberry pancake? When you heat them up do they
get soggy? Maybe I should go down to
IHops - what say you?

So glad we have angels with us - right here on the blog. Safe journey home today.

hedgie said...

Here's the blue link to the "lost family" story.

Dog Story

floralgirl said...

Aw...that is a sweet story! I should hug my dog but the little bugger is hiding from me cause I said I was gonna give him a bath.

floralgirl said...

The pancakes are not soggy, even reheated, they are just perfect. Take some time to make, but worth the trouble.

Lolly said...

Was really going to leave but found another article about the dog and family. There is also a video that you will love.

http://www.newschannel5.com/global/story.asp?s=10784761

Need someone to once again email me the blue thingy instructions. LOL

Mema Jo said...

Lolly Open the Eaglet Momsters site
Clickable link instructions are there from Paula......

hedgie said...

Megan my girl knows the word, too! As well as the prep routine! So I do it secretly....gather the towels and the shampoo...put the non-slip mat in the tub, etc. Everything is all ready, and then we go down to the basement and when she sits on the steps ready to go back up (I always block the steps when we go down so that she can't elude me about going out!), I pick her up and remove her collar----and then she KNOWS!

Mema Jo said...

It is under Files - next to last one.

Lolly said...

Thanks, Jo!

Lolly said...

Really am going to leave and get busy! How many times have I said this?

Will be thinking of Sharon with angel wings as I work. LOL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Me with wings, imagine that!

Mema Jo said...

The TV coverage of Ella the dog was great - such loyalty and love!

hedgie said...

Here's another miracle dog story that Jim emailed this am:

Miracle Dog

Mema Jo said...

The Wild Watch Barn Owls - One only in the nest box meaning the other one is out and about! WHoo Hoo!

Just Vicky said...

Thank you for the birthday wishes! I am still alive in Illinois. Would like to make the open house this year!

Mema Jo said...

We would love to see you
Oct 17th it is!

Have a great day!

deb said...

Lunch time here.

Happy Birthday to GeeGee and Vicki!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And October 17 will be 1 year since I smoked!

Mema Jo said...

Hi Deb! I bet you get hungry by dinner time with lunch so early for you. Hope your afternoon at work goes by quickly. When is the next time you go to the Osprey tower?

deb said...

I will go tomorrow after work. I really get my hair cut today and then I will mow.

deb said...

Way to go, Sharon! A year is quite an accomplishment.

Just Vicky said...

Oh Sharon I am SO PROUD OF YOU!!!! (((((((HUGS))))))))))

Mema Jo said...

YOU GO GAL

PROUD OF YOU, SHARON

Just Vicky said...

I read on the internet the other day we have another PG panda!

Mema Jo said...

Yes! San Diego is expecting - twins show on the ultrasound. Jim alerted all of us about the article.
Will be great to have another cub to watch!
Did you pack your hairspray today! lol

deb said...

Time to head back to work. BBL tonight.

Just Vicky said...

Mema JO!!! I didn't pack anything for the day! grrrrrrrr (I still love you!)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, I was sitting here working, minding my business, looked outside and there is a chicken going across the yard. Right now, it is at the neighbor's house standing at the front door. These dogs are going nuts.

Judie said...

Good afternoon, everyone.

It seems Lynn has summed up most of my catch-up thoughts.

I'll just add a few: happy birthday to Vicky and Gee Gee.

Also, I think Sharon is correct about the BS angel -- bright shiny angel, that is.

Congratulations, Sharon.

Shirley, thanks for the Crow's Nest Link. Another win for nature and nature lovers.

Also very excited about the SD panda pregnancy. Let's all pray for a successful birth.

Puala, am very sorry about the son's job loss and hope something ever so much better arrives very soon.

Lolly, so sorry about the involvement with Gus's parents divorcing. Wouldn't want to be in that mess, either. Am happy you got the much needed rain.

I checked in on the Delta nest a few minutes ago and it appears there are remnants of some creature similar to a long-legged bird or a chicken. HOWEVER, the eaglet has either fledged or is hidden from view. Can't tell. Anyone out there know?

Enough chatter from me, for now.

Judie

floralgirl said...

Well, fried chicken for dinner then. Go grab that chicken!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mattie is in total agreement with you Judie, that I am a Bright Shiny Angel! YEAH RIGHT! She said, yeah, but Judie doesn't live with you.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mattie was trying to get me to go to KFC for lunch but I told her it came to us.

Mema Jo said...

Did the chicken peck on his door yet?
That is the Mean Baltimore Transfer Neighbor - right?

Judie - so glad you spelled out about the BS Angel ! lol

floralgirl said...

Why did the chicken cross the road???

Mema Jo said...

Whoops! You're still in Bedford not
Bluefield - wrong neighbor!

Hi Mattie

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

The chicken crossed the road to skeer the cats! They are petrified of it.

hedgie said...

I was just watching the flickers....so funny. Mama feeding fledgling...she would get a piece of corn, fly back to tree where youngun was waiting, peck it open on a limb and then both would lean backwards to each other while she fed it. When it got overeager, she would chase it around the circumference of the tree, and then it would squawck as if starving to death! What a riot. Chick still has no red showing, and is as big as mama!

Judie said...

Oh, good grief. Maybe Sharon's chicken is looking for its friend which may be deceased in the Delta nest.

Bye.

hedgie said...

Vicki, sure would be great if you could come in Oct.!!!
Are loose chickens common at Thelma's, Sissy???? What a hoot!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

First loose chicken I have seen here. Went to the neighbor across the street (who has a really hard time hearing and probably should invest in hearing aids) and he said this woman's chickens get out all the time and she will come gather them up in a little bit.

movin said...

gOOD morning.

The Pandas are worth looking at this A.M.

Atlanta: Both are taking advantage of the air conditioned viewing room.

SD: Bai Yun is sleeping peacefully in the den amidst all the bamboo she has lined it with.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

hedgie said...

SORRY....meant Sharon, not Sissy!!! Duh!!

hedgie said...

Looks like it's getting ready to rain here.

hedgie said...

Sun back out...no rain. Teasing us!!

grannyblt said...

Happy birthday to Vicki and GEE GEE

Great dog story

movin said...

Everybody is on the nest at BWO.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

grannyblt said...

Nice pictures Dab. I lived in Colorado Springs for several years as a teen and young married. I think we went to 7 Falls every year.

Mema Jo said...

For you Judie & all other Delta fans of Bandit


LINK to the Dramatic story to say the least of Bandit's whereabouts


Start at the comments posted
July 30 (off to the right top side)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Going to pack it up and head to Bluefield soon. See ya later!

Mema Jo said...

Bandit, the Delta Eaglet, had just fallen to the ground when a branch broke. He has been rescued and is being taken to the O.W.L. rehab center.

Mema Jo said...

I hope Dana is resting her healing eye!
Thinking about ya, WV Gal!

Mema Jo said...

Taking a break

BBL

Lolly said...

Have really cleaned some bathroom cabinets and drawers. Found a gold earring I thought was a goner. Had saved the one. Wahoo! A favorite pair, too! Cleaning and purging pays off!

Back to the cleaning. I am in a mood!

Interesting tidbit. Have not heard from the lawyer. However, Michael knows him or of him. He is trying to call him as well. Yea! Still do not know what we will be doing tomorrow.

Back to the purging. Bedroom now!

hedgie said...

Safe trip home, Sharon! Don 't let Mattie drive!

Judie said...

Shessh! I hate when this stuff happens. Think I mentioned yesterday that Bandit's feet were slipping after flapping and hopping onto the limb closest to the camera. I didn't expect a branch to break. I do hope with all my heart that there is no serious injury and he/she can be returned to the nest or rehabilitated.

Thanks for the link, Jo

Off to console myself by gazing stupidly into the frig for dinner ideas.



Judie

paula eagleholic said...

Judie - I stared at mine last night, too. It didn't help.

Had chips and dip for dinner.

Judie said...

Paula, I forget who the 'pasgetti person is but remembered seeing that was for dinner last night, I think -- decision made for me! Hmmmm -- chips and dip would be tasty and a lot faster -- specially with one of Lolly's G&T's.

Shirley, how was the meeting on your dual enrollment class?

Judie

ceil said...

Delta eaglet is ok. They think he is a she. Flight feathers are not in yet. Bev said it did not weigh much so maybe God was looking out for one of His feather friends.

ceil said...

Paula chips and dip sound great. I do have some nice fresh broccoli for that dip. Going to get some ribs. BBL

NatureNut said...

Happy Afternoon Everyone and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VICKY!!!!!
And a Big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to GeeGee!!!

magpie said...

Hi Eagle People, including all angels

I have larksur blooming in my garden, flower for July - must be a birthday tribute to Just Vicky and GeeGee on their birthday!

I guessed Horse Nettle yesterday for the Nest Guest Tree...that is part of the nightshade family too I think - - Maybe we will get a wildweed flower to help us guess!

xo

magpie said...

I don't see any Hidey reports on here today....but at least the cam survived the storms last night which were pretty heavy-duty !

magpie said...

Ceil
"Hallelujah Hawaii" has replaced some of those naughty words in my vocabulary! But mostly I use that for celebration emotions ☺

magpie said...

Hi Loretta! How are the things at PRP?

NatureNut said...

Yeah, Lolly-----just reading back & I DID do my dance yesterday & it was already raining around 2 PM. Then it rained when we were leaving work, but behind the bldg was SUN, in front was dark grey!!No rainbow--Boo.
When it wasn't raining yesterday, I saw something land in front of my car & then an all red bird flew up into a tree. Was smaller than cardinal & had no crest, so I'm guessing summer tanager---no camera.
Have to see if daughter got rain---she sent me pics of one of her painted buntings, but it's a front view, so you can't see much of other colors.She did see a female too. They & her Berylline hummer give her a fit w/posing!

NatureNut said...

Hey, Margy!!!I was only at Park TU, but go back Sat.Only thing I've seen going on is bombardment w/groups--mostly summer day campers & phone that should have it's cord cut sometimes!I always remind myself that I love the environment, even if I can't get into it much!☺
I did get pic from bank behind Vis. Ctr. of our newsest osprey nest---gotta work on pics.
I've been trying to take wren delivering food to house, but their so fast, I did a small video!Gotcha!!The baby(s) a peeping now too, but the stupid AC came on at end of shot.

paula eagleholic said...

Judie - Jo's GGD is the sghetti eating machine!

Ceil - you're gonna ruin my dip with that healthy broccoli, LOL.

magpie said...

Hear Ya' Loretta, about phones ringing off the hook! Give us one accident on the interstate here and we are sunk!
Glad you are having some free time, though.

We are #1 on Beakspeak for yesterday, and #3 for the last Seven Days! Yay!

Hi Paula ☺

magpie said...

No ISS showings for the next week !

magpie said...

A Special Thanks to Mema Jo for keeping us up to date on the Birthday Alerts !

magpie said...

It's time for me to make like a Tree and Leave...
Tomorrow's Friday - Please try to find some Red and WEAR IT, to honor our Military Personnal here and all around the World.

Best Wishes for a Great Evening for all,
and God Bless Us, Every One

xoxo ☺ ♥

hedgie said...

Saw this on the Delta forum, and thought it fits us PERFECTLY!!!

I came for the eagles, and stayed for the friends I made.

paula eagleholic said...

I've always liked that one, too, Hedgie ♥

ceil said...

Lynn I saw that also. Nice saying. Paula I always try to get a little healthy food mixed in. Broccoli and dip are good. Sorry to hear about your son losing his job and Jo's grandson also. Hope good comes from it.

PA Nana said...

Wishes all around for healing, birthdays, travel, and purging. I need some purging energy. Sharon, I think, has quit smoking and is about to reach the one year anniversary. HORRAH!! That's not an easy feat. I did it about 10 years ago and it was the hardest thing I every did = besides giving birth. Gotta get something for hubby to eat when he's done working those 12hours. Looks like leftovers tonight; groceries tomorrow.
I, too, came for the eagle and stayed for the friends. God bless!

wvgal_dana said...

Hi there in Eagleland

Thanks for all the prayers for my cataract surgery yesterday. Surgery went very well. Had Dr. appt. today Dr. Brack is very happy. Feeling the normal scrathy in eye and like a hair is in the eye. All is what is suppose to be.
Some red and swelling.

Haven't read any comments from yesterday or today yet.

Mema Jo said...

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Dana!

So thankful our prayers for successful surgery have been fulfilled!
Rest your eyes as much as you can!

(((hugs)))

deb said...

Dana, it is good to hear from you and to know that everything went as planned!

Mema Jo said...

I am off to get ice cream with the
"Spaghetti Gal" That is her 2nd
weakness after meatballs that is!

Costume Lady said...

DANA...so glad everything went well with your surgery. Do EVERYTHING, EXACTLY the way the doctor told you and you will be just fine! When are you having the other one done?

Costume Lady said...

THANK YOU ALL for GeeGee's Birthday greetings. I am copy and pasting all of them and will show them to her tomorrow as we celebrate her 89th then. Had a doctor appt. today and she is doing well...gained another pound (122), blood pressure 130/72:)

hedgie said...

Dana, so glad to "see" you! Knew you would be doing fine----scratchiness is normal! Just rest.

Jo, such a story about Bandit. Good to know that everything will be okay. Can tell the angst those folks were going through is a universal reaction of nest watchers everywhere.

stronghunter said...

Hi, I have been reading everyting and went to the Delta link someone kindly posted. I have tried to pick out the video of the actual incident and post it.


Video of Delta Eagle Falling

stronghunter said...

Happy birthday Vickie and GeeGee!

Dana--so happy your surgery was successful. Take care.

Judie--My meeting went fine--very similar to the ones we have about this time every summer. They have changed some of the technology. They are using Safe Assign instead of Turn It In. Have you heard of that one?

I still haven't had time to check out all of the links. The doggie story looks interesting.

Mema Jo said...

I just deleted my last comment - My eyes were deceiving me when I was looking at the date and hour of my one comment.... I only saw 11:00 pm
and it was really 7:11:00 pm
Maybe I have a cataract that needs fixing!! I hope not - don't need anymore 'fixings'!

NatureNut said...

Good evening All. Was watching Sidney, Delta, & Hornby. Hornby eaglet is not on view but is the loudest I ever heard!
Outside before dinner and saw a vireo in tree! Hopped too much for a decent pic---got it's back---DUH!

NatureNut said...

Dana, Congrats on your success. Now don't strain that eye reading too much of Blog!!!Maybe someone could read it to you!! LOL

deb said...

I had to google Safe Assign, I thought maybe it was a grading system. It is nice you can use it for assignments, but it is a shame that you have to.

Mema Jo said...

Lots of boats on Lake Washington and the 2 eaglets are on the tree limb watching!

stronghunter said...

Yes, Deb, it is too bad that we have to use something like Safe Assign. I have not yet used one of those programs, but I have caught people plagarizing.

stronghunter said...

The worst incident I can remember was a young woman who was struggling with her writing and suddenly turned in two essays that were beautifully written and far too professional for a struggling student. It turned out that they were copied word-for-word from a magazine in the college library.

ceil said...

Evening all. Just stopping in to say good night. Pleasant dreams.
Dana glad you are doing well.

Costume Lady said...

The struggling student was STOOPID!

stronghunter said...

How do I get to Lake Washington?

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT, Ceil...sleep tight:)

Mema Jo said...

Really foggy at Finney nest with sleeping Osprey (I can't tell if it is 1 or 2 in the nest right now)

Finney Ferry has only 1 in the nest and he is doing his wing exercises!

stronghunter said...

I will go to any length to help someone who is struggling, and I will respect their efforts and give credit. It is very hard to fail my class, but something like that will do it.

Mema Jo said...

BIG FOOD FIGHT

at Lake Washington

stronghunter said...

Thank you, Jo.

Mema Jo said...

Shirley - double click on the cam to enlarge full screen and then just double click again to reduce.

Mema Jo said...

Hi Deb - how is your haircut?

Costume Lady said...

Woe is me...all I get at Lake Washington is a black screen:( Tell us what happened.

deb said...

Haircut is good, more of a trim. Some off the back, some off the front.

deb said...

I am off to read. Night everyone.

stronghunter said...

Thanks, Jo. I had some problem getting out of full screen. Finally used "Esc."

Costume Lady said...

Night, Deb....rest well:)

paula eagleholic said...

Glad Dana could stop in for a moment and let us know all is well so far!

Ceil - was just kidding about the broccoli :) Wish I could still eat it raw!

Glad Delta eaglet is OK - always some drama at that nest! Don't ever wish for a nest to be torn down, but that one needs it. Too many injured/falling eaglets.

Mema Jo said...

Wanda - the food fight between the 2 eaglets didn't last very long. They are still at the nest

Give the black screen TIME to open
I think it will.......

paula eagleholic said...

And Happy Birthday

Gee Gee

and

Vicky!

paula eagleholic said...

Gnite, Deb.

The Lake Washington eaglets do have a beautiful scene to look down upon.

hedgie said...

Agree about tearing down that nest at Delta....it hardly looks like more than a glob of mud!
Lots of phone calls tonight---incoming!
Missing my baby, too....haven't been able to talk to her since Fri. They get home on Sat. Hope everythimg is good with them....worry a bit when I think about all the stuff we hear about Mexico.
Glad you are home, Sharon. Nice that Thelma could come home, too!
Good night to all turning in.

Thanks for the Vermont link, Paula.

Good night, everyone.

Full of 'pasghetti. No meatballs -- afraid Jo's GGD would show up and eat all my dinner if meatballs were served.

Shirley, thanks for the link showing the Delta eaglet's fall. Was really distressing for me. I am also grateful that Jo provided a link so I saw pictures of the eaglet being cared for. Don't know what's wrong with me but seeing the empty nest and finding out Bandit had fallen was very emotional for me.

Dana, very happy your surgery was successful. Take it easy and all will be well. You have an amazing support system of cheerleaders.

Back tomorrow. I'm turning out my ligh now. Peaceful dreams for everyone.

Judie

I'm hollering good night, too!
Verified tornado in Allegheny Co., MD yesterday. Forecast for tomorrow calls for possibility of more severe weather, so stay alert and prepared to batten down the hatches!
Sweet dreams. Prayers for all.

Hi, Everyone!
Have been beside myself all day--my Internet Explorer wouldn't work all day again, so I couldn't get here!
Took I don't know how long on the phone with both Earthlink and the Geek Squad to get it going again.
Just have to say, before it's too late, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VICKY, AND GEE GEE!!!!!! Hope it was special for both of you!
Dana, glad your eye surgery was a success! So good to hear from you!
Really need to go read the rest of the blog so I have a clue. Prayers being said for all; G'night, everyone!
P.S.--Have had TWO heron fledglings hanging around the yard today! Must be siblings, 'cause they're really cute the way they interact with each other! MTBR tomorrow. G'nite!

Oh Andrea, that sounds so cute! You'll have to take some pictures for us ☺
Stopzilla is scanning & making everything else slow, so I will say, "Pleasant Feather Dreams" to all hitting the hay.(not me yet)

Everyone has gone nite nite. Shhhh! Thought I would get on and tell you about my day. First off the lawyer never returned our call. However, come to find out Michael knows him and has dealt with him. (Not impressed!) So, Michael called him. When he did not return his call, Michael called again and got a little "strong" with him. He called Michael. Anyway, we are going to court tomorrow afternoon, however....ta do! Michael is picking us up and going with us. I will have my son with me. Yea! That will certainly make me feel better. This is such "sordid" business! Shame on them!!! Their son deserves a happy family.

In the mean time, we had long time friends come into town. (Knew them before we all had children.)They are in their RV and at the park near by. They came for dinner and we have had the best evening. Lots of laughter and just a fabulous evening. Therefore the late hour.

Will talk with you in the morning.

Sweet dreams for all!
