Hi Steve! Thanks for the new thread. Cam work will be fun! I'll let others know.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING STEVE AND GABRIELA
Let us know when, Steve, so that we may take photos of the MAN in the nest...If we may.

Costume Lady said...

It was such fun to be at the nest last time NU, (I think) was up in the nest. You just can't imagine the size of that nest until you see a man standing in it! Got lots of photos, somewhere on my blog.

Costume Lady said...

Steve, ask the workers to look for a turtle shell somewhere around the base of the tree...Mema Jo would love you forever if you gave her one!:)

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks for the new thread Steve. Remember check for turtle shells while their up there.

Thanks for call over.

Good Morning ALL in Eagleland.

Prayers being said for Deb's trip Thursday and prayers for her and family.

Sharon's friend and husband have my prayers for surgery and healing. Know what that is like since Ed had 5-bypass in Jan.02.

Norma our dear SWEET WONDERFUL CHEERFUL Morning opener. Prayers the dr. gives her a good and blessed answer.

Costume Lady said...

And, while worker is in the nest, please tell him NOT to disturb the little tree growing in there. It will provide shade for our next eagle family in the Spring;)

wvgal_dana said...

Darn time got away from me trying to get to blog.

later

Costume Lady said...

Morning, Dana...
Sure would be nice to find a shell for Jo:)
We surely do need a lot of prayer on here, don't we? I think that is partially why we were chosen to become a group..."If two or more pray"...

Mits said...

Morning everyone..prayers for all

stronghunter said...

Good morning!

Wanda, I looked for the picture of the man in the nest on your blog. You have an amazing number of pictures--I see why you say "somewhere on my blog."

floralgirl said...

Cool! thanks, Steve. I'm available to go up into the nest if you need help. lol...
Morning all:)

Mits said...

yes, happy about updates for the cam.....morning Megan

stronghunter said...

Mits--those tall ships at Finland are something.

Mits said...

beautiful sight, Shirley

Mits said...

HAVRE DE GRACE, Md. (AP)- A manatee spotted in the upper Chesapeake Bay has been identified by the U.S. Geological Survey in Florida as "Ilya," a male first photographed as a calf in 1994.


The manatee was identified by a unique scar pattern on its tail.

The National Aquarium in Baltimore says the manatee was spotted over the weekend near Havre de Grace. Aquarium and Coast Guard officials are urging boaters to be careful not to come to close to the manatee to avoid harming the marine mammal.

Manatees are infrequent visitors to the Chesapeake Bay. The most famous visitor was nicknamed Chessie after it wandered into the bay in the mid-1990s and was later trapped and airlifted back to Florida. Scientists were concerned he wouldn't make it back on his own before the waters chilled in autumn.

ceil said...

I am at work but had to get on and tell Steve to tell the guys to watch out for that little one. It is feisty. LOL Let us know when in August. Would love to be there.
I better get back to work.

ceil said...

Prayers for all.

Mits said...

hi Ceil:)

Mits said...

bye Ceil:)

floralgirl said...

Read that manatee story last night, pretty cool. Hope nobody bothers it. I would love to see it.

Mits said...

I love the manatees:)

floralgirl said...

Me too, they are adorable.

Mits said...

stormy clouds heading to Finney's nest

Mits said...

I have a cam I watch down in Tampa from Nov to March, will send it to you when it comes back on, Megan

floralgirl said...

Cool, Mits, sounds great.
Well, put in my weekly time with AT&T arguing over cell phone bill. Told them next call is to better business bureau and then Verizon to switch carriers. They must think I'm stupid, adding all sorts of fees and charges that aren't supposed to be on my bill, saying they wil be fixed and then not doing so. Guess they figure I'd just pay the bill no questions asked. Not gonna happen.
Off to water the garden. Later, have a great day!

Judie said...

A late good morning to everyone. Thank you Steve. Never seen updates to a nest before so looking forward to that.

Prayers for Annabelle's husband. Mine had quadruple in 1990 so can certainly relate. All will be well given the remarkable progress in heart surgery made over the past few years.

Saw the Manatee on news last night. Remember when Chessie showed up.

Hoping for good news for Norma and for Ed today.

Delta Dawn is at home this morning wingersizing and hopping about.

On to creating more crime scenes with laundry in between.

Nothing about the D.C. eagles in the media this morning.

Cheers,
Judie

Mits said...

I do remember Chessie:)

NatureNut said...

Happy Wed. Everyone.
DID go out and do Rain Dance last night, then got up early & watered plants! DUH
Magnolia Acre Report; saw both baby robins this AM. One was hopping on grass behind adult. You'd think it would catch on as to what to do! #2 was sitting on small birdbath & later #1 one went to the other. They are good at water sports & very clean!The wrens are into the same routine--Ms. mostly in the house, & Mr. flitting back & forth & singing.I hope eggs will hatch.
Couple days ago, a squirrel was walking along edge of deck & Ms. W was flying back to her tree & house. But she made a detour and divebombed the squirrel! Another squirrel took an afternoon nap in the flickers' nest hole!!
Gotta get to work at farmhouse office. Hope there will be or good encounters there!
PS: I want to see NU in the nest tree, too!

NatureNut said...

need to add "NO or good encounters"....

Mema Jo said...

Good Not Too Late Morning All!
Takes me a while to read comments - I had promised myself I would first sign on and say good morning but once I start reading I just keep going.
Great notice about improvements to the cam. Wanda - that would be great to finally get a turtle shell!
Many many prayers for many special friends and friends of my buddies being said. I agree with Wanda's comment that maybe that is why we are bound together - plus saving eagles!

Mits said...

Happy 11th Birthday, Mei Xiang!

Mits said...

large bird keeps flying over Finney nest, parents not there, kids are hunkered down

Lolly said...

Windex, Steve!!! Please do not forget the Windex!!! LOL

Good morning all! My morning time on the computer gets longer and longer. Have to check facebook and the blog. More fun!

Prayers for you, Norma!

Wanda, we got a new TV for the trailer. However, any TV is going to work in RV parks that hook you up to cable. We went to Wally World and got the 19" HDTV.

hedgie said...

Morniing all. Haven't read this blog yet...had a bad night, and slept in too late today....gets the whole day off to a bad start!
Thanks, Steve, for cam info----hope they get that smudge cleaned off!!!! And please capture and remove Boris!
Andrea....PLEASE don't send me any picture of your 8-legs!!!
Prayers for Deb for her safe trip tomorrow and strength for dealing with more sadness.
Prayers also for Norma----a zit, for sure, we hope, since she's just a teen at heart!----and for Sharons' friend----and for Dana and Ed.

hedgie said...

Lolly, have fun moving Michael into the mansion!!!! And don't strain anything----we don't need any more injuries!

Lolly said...

I am going to help with moving the refrigerator items and the wine bottles! LOL I think I can handle that. Will only help with loading, no lifting and carrying.

Lolly said...

They are going to put in a pool this fall or next spring. Wish it was already in.

hedgie said...

Saw on the news last night where Norma's friend made it to the floor of the Senate yesterday in his wheelchair.
Also a warning that heavy military aircraft presence over entire metro area today for a NORAD exercise---think I've heard some of the jets this am.

hedgie said...

Saw the report about Ilya....hope he makes a u-turn and heads back home on his own!

Mema Jo said...

Just had a 'conflicting edit'
I never save a comment before publishing ..... duh......
Finney Nest..........
Thank goodness momma osprey is home with her 3 chicks! WOW! Where did she go so fast?

Mema Jo said...

Finney - Suz say it is a Hooded Crow causing trouble. She got good pics of it.

Mits said...

yes Suz, did an excellent job of capturing the intruder at Finney's Nest:)

Mema Jo said...

I really enjoy the live feed on the PIX PA woods cam. So many birds to watch flying in and out.

Mits said...

so many neat sounds too.

Mema Jo said...

Thankful mother osprey has returned to the nest with her kids. Hope she stays. From her looks the intruder is still around.

Mema Jo said...

Yesterday, Jim thought one of the chicks had fledged from Finney. When I looked at the nest I could only see 2 of them.

Mema Jo said...

Now all 3 are lined up for a feeding.

Mits said...

when ever I have looked has always been the 3 there.

Mits said...

been watching 2 birds in the background at Finney's nest, mom voicing her displeasure

hedgie said...

Oh boy....more Marion Berry investigation on tap!!! Yuck, yuck.

Mema Jo said...

I asked Suz but didn't get a reply yet. I don't see any comment on their blog about fledging. They huddle so close at times, it could have looked like 2.

Having b-day dinner for dil and family
this evening.

Time to look for some lunch food!

BBL

Mits said...

Suz, has probably gone for the day....

deb said...

Lunch time here, caught up on e-mail, blog and phone calls.

Mits said...

relax for awhile, Deb...

deb said...

Yes, I was going to pack, but I will do that tonight. I took Monday off, too, to recover from trip.

hedgie said...

Need food! BB.

deb said...

Time to head back to work. bbl

Ms Bookworm said...

Good morning, everyone,

I've sure had a rough time getting here this morning--for several hours my Internet Explorer kept saying it "couldn't display the web page" no matter where I tried to go. Finally gave up for a couple of hours, and now it works.
Wow, that sure would be great to have some improvements to the cam!
Hope we can finally get rid of the smudge! That may take some work, though. Didn't they say the smudge is inside the camera housing? Better take a screwdriver up there.

Lynn, don't worry! I won't send you a picture of those yucky 8-legged monsters living in our neighborhood! (Believe me, you don't want to know!)

Mits said...

Mei is enjoying a frosty treat on her BD

hedgie said...

Thanks, Andrea....I have enough trouble having to deal with them in person! Long-distance sprays, vacuum cleaner or long-wand candle lighter are my favorite arsenal! Doesn't mattter how small they are, I freak. TG---knock on wood---haven't had any wolf-ones inside in a very long time. In fact, last time was back in '98---very pregnant daughter was here, lounging in my huge bathtub when one went crawling up the wall next to tub---we both freaked!

Ms Bookworm said...

Prayers being said for everyone this morning, including those who are hoping for good reports from the doctor, those who are traveling, those who need strength renewed, and those who are going through rough times, and those who need healing.

Ms Bookworm said...

Guess what, you guys! Hubby called to let me know that less than a block away from our house this morning he had to panic stop to keep from hitting a RACCOON that ran across the road in front of his car! My gosh, it's been almost 15 years since anyone has seen one of them around here! Nice to know they're still in the neighborhood.

hedgie said...

Happy Birthday, Mei!!!!

hedgie said...

Ha, ha, Andrea....make sure your trashcans are safely stowed! That's their prime target in populated areas!!!

Ms Bookworm said...

Ooooh, Lynn, I HATE when those 8-legged freaks get anywhere near the shower or bathtub! I always have to inspect for them very carefully before I'll get in the shower! Hey, the long-wand candle lighter is a great idea! I'll have to try that one. I've always threatened to get out the BB gun, but Hubby says it would cause too much damage to the wall. I say, who cares, as long as it causes extreme damage to the 'Boris' wannabe! We've got lots of spackle for the walls!

Mits said...

be careful you all don't burn down your homes:)

Ms Bookworm said...

Lynn, I'm not sure whether the raccoons can get into our trash cans. They're the really huge ones
(100+ gallons)with the hinged lid that the trash trucks pick up with arms and dump into the truck. No way, really, to lock the lid. I'm sure glad we don't have any bears around here!

Ms Bookworm said...

Don't worry, Mits, I'll only try the candle lighter on surfaces that won't burn, like tile, or maybe in the bathtub. (LOL--wonder if it would kill mildew on the shower grout!) :o]

Ms Bookworm said...

...Time for some iced coffee--BBIALW.

I see a juvenile feeding at NBG.

Two eaglets awaiting fish at West End.

July 27 is the deadline for ordering the new calendar from Norfolk ... beautiful and printed locally too. I asked.

So, what's the 'haps' with you this morning??


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

hedgie said...

Mits, are you getting rain today?
Still nothing here....just finished watering flowers.

hedgie said...

Hi ya, Jim. Watched a lot of drama at Finney....hoodie iintruder was causing some angst. But turned out ok!
I mostly use the lighter at the basement doorway when I let the dog out----doesn't seem to matter how much I spray, there's hardly a day that goes by that there's not one hanging there, Helen. Lighter works in mid-air really good!!!!

Mits said...

lol, you all probably look like you are at a concert, Lynn, no rain here, heading to pool:)

hedgie said...

Enjoy, Mits. I'll take the surf and sand!!

Lolly said...

I vanished for a while. Spent time outside with hose in hand. That is the only way to stay comfortable or maybe I should say only way to stand the heat.

movin said...

Bad news for me this A.M. There's been a death in the extended family back in Minnesota.

I met this good dude when we drove back for my mother's youngest brother's wedding in 1960. He is the brother of the bride. And we've been friends for many years.

Anyway, he's been fighting cancer, and we've all been praying for him, looked like he had won for a while, but ....
They said he went peacefully in his sleep. TG.

So, I probably won't be on here for awhile.. Have a great day.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

Lolly said...

Jim, prayers for the family. Safe travels and we will be happy when you are back. Take care!

Lolly said...

Off to get ready to head to Dallas. Will be back late tonight to tell you all about the new house. This will be my first time to see it in person.

Bye!

hedgie said...

Jim, so sorry to hear your sad news. Prayers for you and the family. Have a safe trip "home" and we'll watch for your return.

normabyrd said...

Thanks KIDS for the prayers!!---My face will remain BEAUTIFUL--- ho!Just a RED CRUSTY place on my cheek!---WOW!--HOORAY!---I can live with that!!!----LIFE IS GOOD!!! ---

normabyrd said...

MOVIN'JIM!---I am so very sorry to read about your loss!---Sending you my love and prayers!---GOD BLESS-----Take Care---

hedgie said...

Getting ready to head out to meet daughter for her late birthday dinner. See you all later this evening.

hedgie said...

Ah-hah! Prayers answered again, Norma!!! Great news!

Mema Jo said...

Jim - I'll be thinking of you and you loss. Oh to be able to just sleep away. Prayers for all.

NORMA - I know it took a lot just to go find out what it was! Thank goodness you now know you don't need to worry! Just tell others that is your 'Mark of Beauty'!

Have fun Lolly - You could spend the night you know and have your pick of a bedroom! WOW! Enjoy!

Mema Jo said...

Getting ready to start b-day dinner for dil and family.

BBL this evening

Mema Jo said...

I thought I just heard Hidey
Guess it was the wind......
MT Nest

magpie said...

Maybe it was the flutter of the Winds of Change, Mema Jo.


Jim - So sorry to hear of the loss of your family friend. It is good to know that you shared a fine friendship all these years. Best wishes for peace for the family, and good traveling for you.
I'm sure it will be helpful that you will be there with them.

Best wishes for all for a Good Evening. I expect to have one if I can catch up with the grandson tonight, and if I don't get called in to work.

magpie said...

I've seen Goldenrod and heard cicadas...summer is in its later stages with these signs.

Norma - glad to hear of the Benign Report...

To Deb, and all facing tough times tonight and in the days to come, my prayers for strength and comfort are with you
at all times.

xoxo TTFN ☺ ♥

Mits said...

WAYNESBORO, Va. - The Wildlife Center of Virginia is making the first triple release of bald eagles in its history.
The wildlife center said Wednesday that three eagles will be released, one after the other, on Saturday at the Mason Neck State Park Visitors Center in Fairfax County (web | news) . The event is open to the public.

One was rescued by a state eagle biologist after a storm toppled its nest near the Possum Point Power Station in Prince William County (web | news) .




Another eagle was found on the ground near a Girl Scout camp in Stafford County and was rescued by a U.S. Fish and Wildlife agent.

The third eagle was seen on the ground near its nest along the Pamonkey River in New Kent County. It was rescued by two wildlife rehabilitators.

Mits said...

sorry for your loss, Jim

magpie said...

Sounds good, Mits
We LIKE that kind of news on here.

Say hi to a few seagulls for me, and keep waving at the waves too ☺

xoxox

Mits said...

I will Margy:)

deb said...

I am home. Jim, I am so sorry to hear of your loss, safe travels to Minnesota.

Norma, so glad the doctor visit went well.

deb said...

I am heading out to start mowing, I'll check back in later.

stronghunter said...

Jim, so sorry to hear of the loss of your friend.

stronghunter said...

Bought paint for my living room. Am off to get started.

Judie said...

Back for a visit,

Jim, so very sad for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and family.

Norma: Yea! Great news.

Shirley, many thanks for the article link.

Later,
Judie

Judie said...

Andrea, sorry I forgot earlier. Congratulations on the test grade AND congratulations for not beating yourself up with the magazine.

Judie

ceil said...

Evening all. Jim sorry to hear about your friend. Safe trip. We will be thinking of you and his family.
Deb want to say sorry you have to take this sad trip. Prayers for you and Corey's family.
Shirley thanks for the article.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Evening Eaglelanders ( :

Catching up on blog here.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Shirley for the updated article on DC eagles.

B-day company has gone. Every one enjoyed their dinner and then the
ice cream cake.

We got a few drops of rain just an hour or so ago. Not enough even to bring the cats in off the deck.

Hi Dana Hope the day went well for you and Ed

deb said...

Dana, I hope the day went well, too. I have been thinking about you and Ed today.

Mema Jo said...

That really could be a great shade tree in the middle of our nest. I wish I could ID leaves to know if it is another sycamore or a maple.

deb said...

I check in on the Moose cam every once in awhile and there haven't been any updates since January. I wonder if Pook isn't posting anything or if the moose really haven't been back.

Costume Lady said...

Jo, our picture is not clear or sharp enough to tell what our baby tree is. It, also, could be the results of a burried acorn (Oak)..It would be fun to watch it grow, but I don't think Lib or Belle would be very happy with it sitting there in their bedroom;)

paula eagleholic said...

Evening all!

Pardon me, haven't read a thing!

Anyone seen our Hideyboy lately?

paula eagleholic said...

We got a touch of rain here sometimes today...some is better than none I guess!

Costume Lady said...

I had a few sprinkles on my windshield on the way home from GeeGee's, but not even enough to turn the wipers on. Guess I'll have to drag the hose out tomorrow:(

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, fellow eagle lovers,
I got side-tracked earlier, and am just now getting back here. Have been practically in a stupor due to the high humidity again. Panda naps are the best!
Deb, wishing you safe travels, and prayers being said for you and the family in the loss of Corey. Glad you took Monday off--it will do you good. Take care!
Jim, so sorry to hear of your loss of a good friend/extended family member. It's a blessing that he went in his sleep. My prayers are with you (and family) as you travel to Minnesota & back.
Norma, so happy to hear of the good report from the doctor! Thank God!
Mits, really happy to hear that 3 eagles will be released in Virginia! Wonderful news!
Thanks, Judie, for the congratulations. Keep praying for me, for the Lord to bring all things to remembrance!
...You should've seen me, beating on myself with the magazine! No bruises to show for it, but have been a bit hesitant to sit in that chair ever since! You see, right above my chair is a shelf with recessed lighting, and at the back of the shelf is direct access to the attic! Lord only knows what's living up there; I hesitate to think! We have the exterminators out 4x a year, but in the meantime...
Well, better go check the outside temp on the patio and see if it's safe to open up the windows yet. Was still 83 in the house at 5:00 this morning!

wvgal_dana said...

Only a few light sprinkles while company was here this evening.

Tomorrow is Ed's dr. appt. with the Thoratic Surgeon. We'll see what he has to say.

Jim I'm so sorry about your friend. I'm sure you being there will help comfort his family.

Deb another trip so soon after the other one. Prayers for you and Corey's family. Thinking so much of his little brother.

Prayers for safe travel for you and Jim.

Ms Bookworm said...

Dana, you and Ed have been in my thoughts and prayers today--hope all is well.

I have an appt. with the dermatologist tomorrow morning to have a mole removed. Better safe than sorry, I always say.

Well, it's about dinnertime, so better go and try to figure out what to have that won't involve heating up the kitchen. BBL. Have a good evening! :o]

wvgal_dana said...

Yea Norma good doctors report ( :

Definitely a tree growing within a tree.

Still thinking of little Gus Lolly. Do you know anymore? How he is doing?

Good Evening Paula ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Annabelle prayers for your removal of mole.

Hear someone near the cam.

wvgal_dana said...

President special news report "live".

paula eagleholic said...

Deb - will be thinking of you this weekend. Please pass my condelences onto your family. I will have you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear about your friend, Jim.

Andrea - way to go on your tests. Keep it up!

Thanks for the update Steve! When are they replaying the CSPAN bit?

Lolly - have fun moving those wine bottles!

Guess our train eagle isn't ready for release yet.

paula eagleholic said...

Margy - have a nice evening off!

Shirley - thanks for the blog link.

Has anyone emailed Steve about the still cam being stuck again???

Dish just went out...maybe we will get some rain.

8:08 - just heard Hidey in the distance

paula eagleholic said...

Just heard Hidey again...a little louder.

Mits said...

beautiful misty a.m. at Finney's nest:)

Mits said...

getting light at the Finland nest

paula eagleholic said...

Lots of dark clouds...waiting for the rain...

paula eagleholic said...

Dish is totally out...we'd better get some rain!

paula eagleholic said...

I do think those leaves are alive as well...would be dead by now if it were just a branch!

paula eagleholic said...

We finally have thunder....and yes...rain!!

So what happens? The TV comes back on, LOL

paula eagleholic said...

2 eaglets at WE!!!

stronghunter said...

What is WE?

paula eagleholic said...

West End nest

www.iws.org

Catalina Island, California

paula eagleholic said...

Shirley, they have a live feed cam and a slo mo cam.

stronghunter said...

Thank you, Paula.

paula eagleholic said...

Well, that was a quick shower...

deb said...

I finally got the back yard mowed. It isn't hot out at all, and doesn't feel that humid, but I sure am dripping. I took a few breaks to get the sting out of my eyes.

wvgal_dana said...

Deb a nice shower is going to feel really good to you.

stronghunter said...

What are we looking at the WE camera? Is that a big tree? It seems kind of dark to be in California?

Mits said...

LATEST UPDATE FROM PA FALCON CAM...

7/22/2009 :: Update on Juvenile Peregrines
There has been no confirmed sighting of the yellow banded female over the past three days. In order for the Game Commission to assist her she would have to regularly visit a known roosting site. If we can get reliable information about such a site, a live capture may be attempted. The adult male and female have been observed resting for long periods of time. This is an indication that the juveniles have moved out of the area. They may return sporadically over the next few weeks but soon they’ll be completely independent.

7/22/2009 :: Live Streaming Video to End
On Friday, July 24th the streaming will end. The still image capture will continue to be available on the Falcon Page.

paula eagleholic said...

That is a flat topped rocky peak, Shirley. And another peak in the background. That cam always looks kind of dark.

Take a look at the Two Harbors nest from their homepage...another nest on top of a rocky peak.

Mema Jo said...

I tried earlier to email about the still cam to Eagle Cam email:
nctc_eaglecam@fws.gov
Eagle Cam - Still Image

Guess Should I have emailed direct to Steve?

stronghunter said...

Thanks, Paula. It looks strange.

paula eagleholic said...

And the Pelican Harbor nest is on a pine tree...right on top.

paula eagleholic said...

I always do, Jo.

wvgal_dana said...

Going to catch some tv will check back before hitting the hay.

paula eagleholic said...

Eaglets at WE taking a nice long rest. One of them brought a fish to the nest...but of course it's all gone now :)

paula eagleholic said...

Hang on a couple of minutes Shirley...I'll get you a link with some pics of the nest and area...

Mema Jo said...

MITS: Thanks for the update on PA Falcon Yellow. Doesn't look to hopeful. I doubt she can find food with her damaged beak!

PAULA: I'll sent the email to Steve about the still cam.

paula eagleholic said...

Shirley - here's a couple of links. They also have a forum.

Pics from banding

Banding video

paula eagleholic said...

Okie Dokie, Jo!

Did you get any rain tonight?

stronghunter said...

Thanks, Paula. I will add them to my favorites.

Mema Jo said...

A Lake WA eaglet has return to the nest!
It has been MT every time I checked it out recently.

Mema Jo said...

Ms Goose has on her rain coat and hat on the Snowman cam.
Raccoons are abundant in the PA Woods.

Deb: I also check every once in a while The Moose site - Other years we have had updates throughout the summer months. My email for Pook didn't go through a few weeks ago.

Mema Jo said...

Paula we didn't get much rain
Very short shower.. Maybe more will happen over night.

paula eagleholic said...

I checked out the moose cam a couple of weeks ago, too, for an update.

Oh, one of the Maine eaglets has fledged. Also Hornby's Hope has fledged!

Mema Jo said...

I'm thinking that the Delta eaglet is about the only one that has NOT taken
first flight. Are there others I might be overlooking.......?

Mema Jo said...

Ok - the other eaglet in the ME nest..

Guess I need to look at Judy B's cheat sheet for 2009.

stronghunter said...

Will the Delta eaglet have time to learn what it needs to know? Winter must come pretty early up there--though I guess it is a marine climate.

paula eagleholic said...

Oregon's Pengra hasn't fledged yet either.

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, they get more rain up there than snow...sometimes!

paula eagleholic said...

Is the OK cam still on? Haven't checked that one lately either.

stronghunter said...

Last time I checked the OK cam, it had been sent out for repairs.

deb said...

Front yard mowed!! Now it is time for that shower, Dana, and yes, it will feel wonderful!

Mema Jo said...

Latest comment on the OK cam site:
22 July: The primary nest cam has now stopped working (and is inaccessible to us with birds still in the area). The second nest camera's mount is knocked out of alignment so it cannot reach the nest.
As soon as the widecam comes back from the repair center we will restore the widecam view.
We can report that an adult transferred food to the eaglet this morning, so all is well.

2 eaglets at Two Harbors (TH) too.

Just had a food drop at WE, one eaglet eating, the other is watching.

paula eagleholic said...

Margy, did I pass you heading west on 9 right before 6?????

Mits said...

deb said...

I am packed, cleaned up and pretty much ready to go. It is time to relax for a bit.

Judie said...

Back for a last visit.

Brain tired tonight.

Been thinking about the release of the three eagles. I'm supposed to go to a computer class but ... I may try.

Thanks for the CA link, Paula. Did check out the nests and was happy to see some eaglets. Makes me realize how much I miss Hidey.

Looks like the Delta eaglet is doing some real practicing and hopping. Won't be long now.

Good night, everyone. I'm keeping good thoughts for all who need them, especially little Gus, Ed, and Jim.

Judie

Good night. Grandson is coming tomorrow and has an early morning
(7:15, I believe it is) dental appointment. Dentist must be a morning person!

Prayers for Dana and Ed, Deb, Jim, and Little Gus and his parents.

Happy that everything is okay for Norma.

Didn't ever get started on the painting. At least, I have bought the supplies and gotten them into the room.

hedgie said...

Had a really nice dinner with my youngest. And it was yummy, too!
Will talk to all y'all tomorrow. Peace and many prayers.

Lolly said...

Hellooooo!!! We are home. Arrived at the house they are leaving just as the packers finished. Tomorrow they come and load the furniture and boxes. Also the piano movers come tomorrow. Jack had a few odd jobs to do, I packed the wine bottles! (Except for the good ones in the cooler.) Then we went to the new house. OMG! It is something else! You can get lost!!! We return in the morning to supervise the movers at the old house and move those wine bottles. LOL Then to the new house in the afternoon. Jack has the job of putting up some temp. blinds and curtains. Oh, and I move the contents of the refrig tomorrow. Guess I get to load the new refrig. I think I want to move in and live in the kitchen. It is a dream!!!!

Judie said...

Wasn't able to sleep yet. Keep to thinking about the eagles' release on Saturday. I have to admit I am really living in the dark ages but maybe someone can coach me along. I do not have a camera of any kind so what type of camera would be needed to get pictures of the eagles'release and then how do I get them posted for everyone to see? I may not be able to get there but just keep wondering how I can get pictures to everyone if I go.

Judie -
I think there are many on here who can give you some pointers on cameras and photography. But I also think most of them have hit the sack for the night.
Lori-eaglicious from Frederick Md area has an awesome camera collection, maybe she will pop on Thursday and give you a holler.
Maybe she will see the posted news from Mits and want to go herself if she can !

magpie said...

And our Bob Quinn is the Photographer Premiere !

magpie said...

As is Deb, Paula, and many others....I, though, am not one of them !

magpie said...

Hey ! It's Tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Diane Luvs2Nap -
Hope it is your very best one ever ! xoxo ♥ ☺

magpie said...

Lolly - it does indeed sound dreamy !

So good that you and Jack can help the family with the move. You are one busy busy lady !

magpie said...

Saw the most beautiful Moth tonight struggling in a puddle on the roadway, think it was an IO Moth. I moved it to the side of the road where it fluttered and tried to regain its stability. Not sure if it was going to make it or not...laid it on a paper towel ( a little civil litterbugging there ) and hope that it gots its flight back. Later on, saw another big one flying around in the parking lot at McDonald's in Berkeley Springs.

magpie said...

Also saw two beautiful wild turkeys, they were either hens, or young'uns of either sex. Grandson saw them too, first time for him, he had no idea what they were, and was delighted to learn they were turkeys!

Hedgie - that's probably a yes, it was probably me on
Route 9 - should have been around 5:30 or a little later. There are a lot of White Blazers...so it could have been anyone...including former's current person :(

magpie said...

I know I have missed the late-evening opportunity to wish Deb, Dana, Jim, and all others best wishes with their travels and challenges coming up in the next few days...hope you can hear my whispers in the night....wishing you well...

magpie said...

I guess it is time to turn out the lights....
Was good to hear the nest and bird reports "today" (make that yesterday I guess...)

Good Night Everyone near and far.
God Bless Us Every One, and carry us through our trials with comfort and strength
xoxo ♥
