So good to see them working so diligently on the nestorations! They have a new leaf rug and the sides are going upward. Very thankful our Still Cam will stay with us..Just wish the refresh time were less minutes
I am sadden about the news of Koo. The pics on the Looduskalender Forum are heartbreaking. I hope some good can come out of this as to Finland's precedures. I thank Loretta so much for keeping us informed through this ordeal. She really would have taken care of Koo but now Koo is Flying High and Free.
Hi, Everyone, Have attempted to get somewhat caught up on the blog, and have decided it's almost impossible! Have read as much as possible, and will have to just go from there.
Am SO sorry to hear about Koo! Am afraid the poor thing would have had a really rough time of it if they had turned her loose, though. Am disappointed that they didn't try keeping her at the zoo, but maybe she had other problems, or maybe they could tell she was still in pain. Well, she's soaring free now, in a far better place. I will really miss her, though.
Oh, that's right! I can still catch the 09/09/09, 09:09 am thing here in this time zone! Pretty crazy, isn't it? Got some kind of message from a numerologist in my regular e-mail about it. If there's anything interesting there, I'll let you know.
Still have much studying to do today for a Pharmacology test tonight. Can't stand not talking to you here, though. Guess I'll get some quick breakfast and coffee, and be right back. Hope you're all having a good morning! Back in a flash! :o]
Did you all know that on the back of the American Eagle gold coins there is: The design on the reverse by Miley Busiek captures a bald eagle swooping into a nest holding its family. The scene is meant to symbolize many classic American concepts. Babies on it, so cool!
Wowsie! Look at those Bonding Brothers! Beautiful beautiful Clouded Leopards! First I have seen the Fishing cat so close up - usually walking all around! There are the sloth bears on 1-B !
What a tour of the zoo! Thanks for the heads up Mits. When are you back on the trail?
Good morning! I am saddened to hear about Koo, but grateful he was not in the nest...suffering. We have learned so much about nature watching cams and have learned to take the bad along with the good, but it still hurts.
Sounds like there were several nest visits this morning. Cool!
Funny Funny The song was also in my mind...... Thanks Paula. Lisa says: Nest Update
09/08/09: Braveheart is still at the nest, but since she hatched late, we probably shouldn't be surprised. In 2006 -- the last year we had chicks -- our final osprey was seen on September 8, then the bald eagles arrived on the platform, meaning our osprey family had left town.
I'm back, fortified with a little breakfast. That's more like it. It's a nice morning here--it actually got all the way down to 60 last night, and it's been a bit overcast this morning. The sun is just now starting to burn through. Hoping it won't get too hot today. The forecast is for a hi of 84.
you can tell by the trees at Finney's nest it is very windy there today....probably why the cam seems to be knocked out of focus....wonder when they will shut it down?
Yep, Jo, we almost needed a blanket! Thanks for the encouragement--boy, these are a tough couple of classes. Glad they are the only two I'm taking right now! Just tons of info to cram in my head!
Oops--almost forgot to wish Yang-Yang a Happy 12th Birthday!
Happy to say I managed to catch sight of an eagle on our nest this morning on the still cam! Finally! Noticing that the colors on the cam seem really bright, and it looks like some of the leaves are starting to turn. Maybe it will begin to look more like fall out here soon!
Cool info about the coin, Shar----haven't seen one. Maybe you can bring one to open house for us all to look at! Yep, Paula....a "hunnerd" years but we won't see it! Good luck on tonights' test, Andy!!! You'll do fine.
Loretta thank you so much for all you updates about Koo. I know you would have taken VERY good care of Koo. As your love for God's creatures. I am so very saddened of the news plus of your heart break. DEDICATED TO KOO
So sad about Koo. Truly wish the ending had been a happy one.
Happy birthday,Yang Yang
Andy, study hard and take a break to visit us -- give the brain a rest and time to absorb.
Nice to know about the gold coins. If I ever see one (ha!) I'll know what to look for.
Afternoon, Mister Jim.
Okay, now to create an example of a correlational research design for class tomorrow. Research design is not my favorite topic to teach -- get through it as quickly as I can.
Another lovely tribute to Koo, posted by Looduskalendar forum participant: Death of the Bird by Alec Derwent Hope
For every bird there is this last migration; Once more the cooling year kindles her heart; With a warm passage to the summer station Love pricks the course in lights across the chart.
Year after year a speck on the map, divided By a whole hemisphere, summons her to come; Season after season, sure and safely guided, Going away she is also coming home.
And being home, memory becomes a passion With which she feeds her brood and straws her nest, Aware of ghosts that haunt the heart's possession And exiled love mourning within the breast.
The sands are green with a mirage of valleys; The palm tree casts a shadow not its own; Down the long architrave of temple or palace Blows a cool air from moorland scarps of stone.
And day by day the whisper of love grows stronger; That delicate voice, more urgent with despair, Custom and fear constraining her no longer, Drives her at last on the waste leagues of air.
A vanishing speck in those inane dominions, Single and frail, uncertain of her place, Alone in the bright host of her companions, Lost in the blue unfriendliness of space.
She feels it close now, the appointed season; The invisible thread is broken as she flies; Suddenly, without warning, without reason, The guiding spark of instinct winks and dies.
Try as she will, the trackless world delivers No way, the wilderness of light no sign; Immense,complex contours of hills and rivers Mock her small wisdom with their vast design.
The darkness rises from the eastern valleys, And the winds buffet her with their hungry breath, And the great earth, with neither grief nor malice, Receives the tiny burden of her death.
Don't really know where to post this, but just went back to Bird Cams Across the World Forum & it has been Hacked----Everything's a mess. Said other places on Internet could be attacked also, so we have to be careful.
Hi, Gang, I'm back for a bit. Dana, thank you SO much for the tribute to Koo. It is really beautiful, and helps to ease the heartache a little. Loretta, can't thank you enough for all your updates keeping us informed about Koo. I am certain you would have taken extremely good care of her, and am so very sorry you didn't have a chance to do so. (I'm sure all of us here would have been eager to help you!) Lynn, thank you for the tribute you posted, too. Beautiful! God bless all three of you!
On a somewhat happier note, thought I'd share a piece of info with you that I've learned in my Pharmacology book. Did you know that the antituberculosis drug streptomycin was first isolated from the stomach of a sick chicken? Amazing what our friends the birds have done for us, isn't it?
Well, back to the books for a bit. I'll pop back in to see what's happening a little later. Hope Jim is able to straighten out his computer, and hope no one else has any problems with theirs! BBIALW...
So sad ... but thankful Koo did not suffer any longer than necessary. The tributes to her were very heart warming; especially the video. My eyes were moist.
Now, I've forgotten what I wanted to say ... Blessings around for now.
Is that a milkweed pod in the nest (11 o'clock)? Nah ... it just moved so must be leaves. I need to get used to this still cam. ... later
Andrea, I'm somewhat familiar with streptomycin. It was new back in the l950s, or so they told my parents, for infections. It was given to my 19 month old sister because her appendix had ruptured and she was in danger of dying.
Unfortunately, this drug killed brain cells and she lost her hearing. So sad, but happy to say once they diagnosed her condition and how it happened, she was educated at a special school and now is a grandmother.
Yes, Diann, that is still a side-effect that is of great concern, so it isn't used very much anymore except for very specific cases. So wonderful that your sis has overcome that loss.
Looks like Diego is moving right along -- been watching and he seems to be crawling very, very slowly. Progress! Mom has left him alone for quite a long time this afternoon.
I also like the beach in rain. Been sorta sunny/cloudy yesterday and today, some wind, very nice low humidity.
Hummers haven't been seen for several days. Probably gone for the season.
Helen, that's why everyone should have their own place at a beach!!! Then they can go whenever, and not have to worry about getting rained out! Judie, I haven't seen any hummers, either. Strange, but haven't seen any flickers, either, and I thought they were here year round.
Well, I like the beach in the rain too. But I guess if you only have one week there, you want some sun. If you guys don't have any hummers, it may be because they are all in my garden. We are still filling 6 feeders, and estimate we have a minimum of 15 hummers. They have started to migrate from the north US states, and will continue to thru October.
stupid fire alarm is going off in the building now....will wait to see if fire trucks come, they could be testing it...or water has gotten in to the compartment like it did a few weeks ago
So, are you being deafened? I remember we were at Cedar Lakes one year. Somebody had left a burning cigarette in the butt can and start a fire. Just so happened, it was sitting right under the vent outside and sucked the smoke right in the building. 4 a.m. the alarm was going off and we all had to exit the building. It was not fun!
the fire guys shut it off....man it is loud....now all the tenants are coming back...thanks heavens the people next to me this week are old....they go to bed by 11:), but of course it is too windy to sit on the balcony
Hi, Gang, I'm back for a bit. Have gone over all the stuff for tonight's test, and my brain is tired. Please pray that I've retained enough of the info to do well. Thanks, Dana, for the encouraging words. Diann, I'm really glad that your sister has managed to overcome the terrible side-effects caused by that drug. Sometimes I think they start using new drugs too quickly, before all the side-effects have shown themselves. I hope they are being more careful in this day and age. I disagree with the way they advertise drugs on TV now, and suggest you ask your doctor about them, too. Don't think that's right.
Whoa, Helen!!! Hope everything turns out OK there! At least you know the alarm is loud enough to wake you up in case it goes off at night when you're sleeping. Well, I gotta go get showered and do some damage control with the hair & makeup. Then dinner and off to school. Have a good evening, and if I don't get home too late, I'll try to get back here to say good night. Later!
hey Judie, I check the police dockets down here on a daily basis...and kept wondering what a charge of affray was.....looked it up...noisy fight....they do alot of that down here....also alot of arrest for going 1 to 9 miles over the speed limit...and , of course your various arrest for DUI...you would think people would learn
Hope the Hacking that hit "Bird Cams of the World" did not make it to our cam! It sure It What It Is, though...I think it will just be temporary....just not sure how long temporary will last.
Remember Steve said - The still cam is operated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and will continue. We will have a streaming cam for the nesting season, no worries. We need to use the Fall to go through our search process. NCTC does not have the budget to run streaming cam year round without a partner.
Megan - a week ago I was going to repot my flower containers on the deck. Glad I didn't. For some reason my salvia, especially the red, has come back alive and is once again in full bloom.. Little hummer loves them.
Ok, still cam is FINE now!! So maybe it was the weather! Or else it's interference from the helicopter flying in Jefferson Co. looking for some bad people!! Watch Ch. 25 news at 11 if you're local.
I got on and you scared me saying you could not get the still cam. I imagagine they were working on the page.
We have hummers galore. More than we have ever had. Not like Megan, but still a lot and more than we have ever had. I, too, have salvia all over. It loves this Texas heat.
Does anyone watch Top Chef on Bravo? There are 2 chefs on there this season...brothers from Frederick. One owns/cooks at Volt Restaurant in Frederick, the other lives in LA.
Well, stranger and stranger, Jo. Came back and the still cam was up on the computer screen. Hmmm -- nevermore, nevermore.
Salvia was a hit with hummers but local Bambi ate most of the flowers.
Haven't watched Top Chef but will.
Meagan, tacky red one beat my hubby's "saliva"
Well, have to rise early tomorrow to go talk to the wannabe adults. So, turning my light off but leaving the night light on for others. Until tomorrow -- Oh, Margie, is there a recipe for goop?
Phooey - no one posted at 9:09 on 9/9/09 - either this morning on the old thread or tonight on this one... :( I did take a picture at work of the time at 9:09 on 9/9/2009 off the computer
Judie: Goop: a pound or so of burger, and anything else I could throw in the slow cooker: onions, potatoes, corn, stewed tomatoes, carrots, and a can of Cream of Asparagus soup. Should feed me for a few days.
Hello everyone and soon to be Good Night Everyone... the cooking brothers and all the restaurant talk sounds fun. Then there is the Earth Dog Cafe in Berkeley Springs, I'll tell you about that someday. Great Pulled Pork Roast!
I'm heading for the pillows now, will finish what I am too tired to do, in the morning before work. Prayers for all in need of comfort and strength, wellness and peace.
had rock fish at Fager's last week, and that is where the opsrey nest is....and a really good rockfish sandwich for lunch at The Shark down in west oc, where are you staying?
Have I told anybody today that I really need the ocean in my life??
Also, have I told anyone today that I get to go see Train??????? Too bad I can't get both in at the same time. They are going to be in North Myrtle Beach the night before the Charlotte concert but it is a lot further to travel!
Well, goodnight my fine fowl friends! See you in the morning light...more rain predicted...yippee! It's been a rough day, hasn't it? Prayers for all, but especially for Ceil and her friends' family, as well as her boss. And a final little missive in honor of Koo.
Hi, Everyone, Am home from school, and happy to say that I got an A on last week's Pharmacology test!!! Thank God!! (I couldn't have done it without Him!) Think I did really well on tonight's test, too. (Thank God for that, also!) Wow, glad I missed all the craziness trying to get the still cam going! Sure glad it's working fine now! Sharon, that's WAY COOL that you're expecting Train concert tickets! Sure you'll have the time of your life!! BTW, LOVE the picture of Buphals! (Animal cruelty?--NOT!!!!) Margy, your Goop sounds REALLY good! I'll hafta try that recipe. Lynn, it HAS been quite a rough day for all of us. I'm really tired and feeling pretty subdued tonight. Think I'll go watch some TV and unwind a bit. Prayers for healing of hearts and souls, and a final prayer for Koo. God bless her! Hey, guess what?! It's almost 9:09pm here in CA! Catch you all in the am. G'night!
Good Grief, missed the whole evening on here. Had a Panda nap and then could not open this page due to "IE ERROR 5001" or something! On Finney nest page is a video of this seasons' learning to fly. And the Galleria has a new slideshow of Koo at Ranua Wildlife Zoo---tip---in the nest was better. I saw a neat symbolic view of the nest today---will put capture on Blog. Tomorrow is another day, said Scarlet! Pleasant Feather and Goop Dreams~~~
The Internet seems to be more like normal tonight. I hope it stays that way. The tech guy at Time Warner mumbled something about "server" and there had been a huge outage in the whole L.A. area for three days, but I didn't get any more specifics.
They might have been rerouting through this area, because mine would be at least OK one second, and it would come to a complete halt the next second....up and down, up and down. I finally had to forget it for awhile, several times.
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!---MORNIN' SISSY & MARGY!---You two are always our #1s EAGLE MOMS!---today & every day!!---Looking forward to a glorious day here in WILD & WONDERFUL WEST VIRGINIA--home of our BELLE & LIBERTY---parents of HIDEY--who is away at EAGLE SCHOOL!---Bless his heart where ever he/she is SOARING!!---We all need to keep doing the RAIN DANCE in our area!---smell a flower today---help a friend--hug a child--GIVE THANKS FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD WE LIVE IN---Remember!!---LIFE IS GOOD!!!
DEB!---I check for divers most every day---about a mo or so ago--There were workers & they came up to the window---but didn't linger!---Remember we used to see them often---
DANA!---I checked the DONKEYS for you this am!----When nothing else is up & moving---the DONKEYS are always there---Prayers for you & ED!--When does he check back with Dr?
Looks like Diego is doing crunches this morning. He can't get rolled over off of his back!! Adorable!! Missed the visit this morning and I was sitting right here. Had email up over the window to the nest! Bummer! I will pay attention from now on!!
SISSY---I just watched DIEGO -- He finally flipped over when MOMMA entered the room & picked him up!--He's got SPUNK!!---still has a tail----MADE MY DAY!
MEGAN--I am getting dressed & reading yesterday's blog!---I watch the BRAVO channel often--& love the CHEF'S shows too!--In fact some times I even watch the reruns!---

sorry to hear about Koo at Finney's nest....bird suffered along time....Finney's nest cam view has changed...Finland nest still not working
Happy birthday, Yang!!!
Yang says thank you, Lynn
Eagle back again, what a day!
Thanks for the call over Mits.
Eagle back in the nest.
Good 'Eagle in the nest' Morning to All
So good to see them working so diligently on the nestorations! They have a new leaf rug and the sides are going upward. Very thankful our Still Cam will stay with us..Just wish the refresh time were less minutes
I am sadden about the news of Koo.
The pics on the Looduskalender Forum are heartbreaking. I hope some good can come out of this as to Finland's precedures. I thank Loretta so much for keeping us informed through this ordeal. She really would have taken care of Koo but now Koo is Flying High and Free.
I meant to say Refresh time less than 30 seconds
Boy oh Boy! Two sometimes work better than one. Sometimes?
Well, cool! They have been in and out all morning. Morning all:)
DIVER
Braveheart keeps standing on the edge of the nest at BWO...should I stay or should I go:)
missed him, Deb....I go to that site everyday, on and off too....they have a 2 second refesh, maybe our still could go to that number
I check it out, too, but haven't seen divers in a long time.
it is such a pretty cam, Deb:)
Especially when the snow is flying!
For anyone who in interested in numerology (whatever it means!!!), today is 09-09-09......guess it only happens once!
Hedgie - I missed the morning
09-09-09-09-09-09 but I guess I'll see
it tonight!

The design on the reverse by Miley Busiek captures a bald eagle swooping into a nest holding its family. The scene is meant to symbolize many classic American concepts. Babies on it, so cool!
so how many of those gold coins do you have, Sharon:):).....very valuable right now.
clouded leopards, fishing cats, small clawed otter all on view at NZ
Off to the Asia Trail........
Wowsie! Look at those
Bonding Brothers!
Beautiful beautiful Clouded Leopards!
First I have seen the Fishing cat so close up - usually walking all around!
There are the sloth bears on 1-B !
What a tour of the zoo! Thanks for the heads up Mits. When are you back on the trail?
Cam 1 A for sloth bears is much better viewing!
I didn't get the gold coin in the series, but I did get the other two :)
Hedgie - 09/09/09 will happen again in 100 years! Next cool one will be 10/10/10
falcon at the PA cam....
For Braveheart
Should I Stay or Should I Go
** Good Morning **
** Everybody **
I'm having Internet problems this A.M., and I'm surprised this application has proceeded this far.
Hope I get through.
Have a great day, all.

that is the exact song I was singing in my mind, Paula...have not heard that in a long time....

Thanks, Lynn,
I hope you're right! Gotta go study for a bit, but will be back every now and then to see what's happening. Have a good Wednesday!
Good Afternoon to Those In Eagleland.
Loretta thank you so much for all you updates about Koo. I know you would have taken VERY good care of Koo. As your love for God's creatures. I am so very saddened of the news plus of your heart break.
DEDICATED TO KOO
I am leaving for a few hours

I have Train concert tickets coming in the mail! YEAH! I am so excited!
Quick visit.
So sad about Koo. Truly wish the ending had been a happy one.

Death of the Bird by Alec Derwent Hope
For every bird there is this last migration;
Once more the cooling year kindles her heart;
With a warm passage to the summer station
Love pricks the course in lights across the chart.
Year after year a speck on the map, divided
By a whole hemisphere, summons her to come;
Season after season, sure and safely guided,
Going away she is also coming home.
And being home, memory becomes a passion
With which she feeds her brood and straws her nest,
Aware of ghosts that haunt the heart's possession
And exiled love mourning within the breast.
The sands are green with a mirage of valleys;
The palm tree casts a shadow not its own;
Down the long architrave of temple or palace
Blows a cool air from moorland scarps of stone.
And day by day the whisper of love grows stronger;
That delicate voice, more urgent with despair,
Custom and fear constraining her no longer,
Drives her at last on the waste leagues of air.
A vanishing speck in those inane dominions,
Single and frail, uncertain of her place,
Alone in the bright host of her companions,
Lost in the blue unfriendliness of space.
She feels it close now, the appointed season;
The invisible thread is broken as she flies;
Suddenly, without warning, without reason,
The guiding spark of instinct winks and dies.
Try as she will, the trackless world delivers
No way, the wilderness of light no sign;
Immense,complex contours of hills and rivers
Mock her small wisdom with their vast design.
The darkness rises from the eastern valleys,
And the winds buffet her with their hungry breath,
And the great earth, with neither grief nor malice,
Receives the tiny burden of her death.

Hi, Gang,
I'm back for a bit.

Diego all alone:)
Well, back to the books for a bit. I'll pop back in to see what's happening a little later. Hope Jim is able to straighten out his computer, and hope no one else has any problems with theirs! BBIALW...
Never know what new things we find from old things Andrea thanks....good luck on your studies and exams.
So sad ... but thankful Koo did not suffer any longer than necessary. The tributes to her were very heart warming; especially the video. My eyes were moist.
Now, I've forgotten what I wanted to say ... Blessings around for now.
Is that a milkweed pod in the nest (11 o'clock)? Nah ... it just moved so must be leaves. I need to get used to this still cam.

Is that Braveheart at BWO?
hard to tell from that angle, but, think you can distinguish her from dad, because she is rather plump, at least that is how I tell them apart
The cam doesn't have enough fine picture quality to determine it by feather tips....that's the easiest way with a juvie
Wonder what that stuff turning red in the field is?
Yes, Diann, that is still a side-effect that is of great concern, so it isn't used very much anymore except for very specific cases. So wonderful that your sis has overcome that loss.
I don't see any white on the feather tips, but like you said it is hard to tell at BWO.
well I think we are spoiled by the Finland cam (still down) as to seeing the feathers....
Raining here---finally! What's it like at OC, Mits?
Heading home to mow..catch ya'll later!
pretty m uch been raining and cloudy and windy for 3 days now, Lynn....
Lunch is over, bbl.
I like the beach in the rain.
so do I, but the people who came down Sat to Sat are not happy campers...
Hi everyone,
Looks like Diego is moving right along -- been watching and he seems to be crawling very, very slowly. Progress! Mom has left him alone for quite a long time this afternoon.
I also like the beach in rain. Been sorta sunny/cloudy yesterday and today, some wind, very nice low humidity.

Judie, I haven't seen any hummers, either. Strange, but haven't seen any flickers, either, and I thought they were here year round.
Well, I like the beach in the rain too. But I guess if you only have one week there, you want some sun.
If you guys don't have any hummers, it may be because they are all in my garden. We are still filling 6 feeders, and estimate we have a minimum of 15 hummers. They have started to migrate from the north US states, and will continue to thru October.
You must have the extra special nectar, Megan!
stupid fire alarm is going off in the building now....will wait to see if fire trucks come, they could be testing it...or water has gotten in to the compartment like it did a few weeks ago
all the renters have left the building....:) think I can lock them all out:)
EAGLE ALERT
EAGLE IN OUR NEST
Poof I sure hope someone else seen our eagle
Hope eagle/eagles come back
fire trucks are here, they will turn the alarm off....it is the loudest thing on earth...hurts your ears
So, are you being deafened? I remember we were at Cedar Lakes one year. Somebody had left a burning cigarette in the butt can and start a fire. Just so happened, it was sitting right under the vent outside and sucked the smoke right in the building. 4 a.m. the alarm was going off and we all had to exit the building. It was not fun!
the fire guys shut it off....man it is loud....now all the tenants are coming back...thanks heavens the people next to me this week are old....they go to bed by 11:), but of course it is too windy to sit on the balcony
Maybe Mits had to exit the building now too.
Hi, Gang,
I'm back for a bit. Have gone over all the stuff for tonight's test, and my brain is tired. Please pray that I've retained enough of the info to do well.
Thanks, Dana, for the encouraging words.
Diann, I'm really glad that your sister has managed to overcome the terrible side-effects caused by that drug. Sometimes I think they start using new drugs too quickly, before all the side-effects have shown themselves. I hope they are being more careful in this day and age. I disagree with the way they advertise drugs on TV now, and suggest you ask your doctor about them, too. Don't think that's right.
Whoa, Helen!!! Hope everything turns out OK there! At least you know the alarm is loud enough to wake you up in case it goes off at night when you're sleeping.
Well, I gotta go get showered and do some damage control with the hair & makeup. Then dinner and off to school. Have a good evening, and if I don't get home too late, I'll try to get back here to say good night. Later!
everything is back to normal now...good luck Andrea
Diego is all alone again. Mom was back for a visit. I hope she doesn't have post-partum depression! LOL
Helen, glad you're back in your abode all safe and fire-free.
I agree about the drugs. When they give the list of side-effects on t.v. the cure seems worse than what ails me.
Judie
I just think she has got her appetite back:)
I never left, Judie....unless I see smoke and fire...I stay.
hey Judie, I check the police dockets down here on a daily basis...and kept wondering what a charge of affray was.....looked it up...noisy fight....they do alot of that down here....also alot of arrest for going 1 to 9 miles over the speed limit...and , of course your various arrest for DUI...you would think people would learn
Would one of you put the Still Cam up.
Let me know that you got it because I
got message
%1 is not a valid Win32 application.
I also tried to go through link on this home page...... Did anyone get it up?
Hi jo, I got the same message once. Now I am being told that "The website cannot display the page."
O' boy O' boy. No one would do that intentionally now would they?
Not to be sarcastic or pessimistic but I really pray this is something technical.
I'll keep trying......
Does anyone have still cam? Jo and I can't get it.........
I am out of commission here too, and dare not close out of the Blogspot...
I have a black box with a red x on the Still Cam page....
Tried Firefox instead of Internet Explorer and got the same message you did, Jo.
Could be weather-related, MAYBE??????
My sadness on the loss of Koo....and prayers for all with struggles and sadnesses today...
prayers of gratitude for the good things though, and Faith.
Seems like a night for me just to be quiet...
I just know that a lightning bolt did not strike the tree!
Hope the Hacking that hit "Bird Cams of the World" did not make it to our cam! It sure It What It Is, though...I think it will just be temporary....just not sure how long temporary will last.
Remember Steve said -
The still cam is operated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and will continue. We will have a streaming cam for the nesting season, no worries. We need to use the Fall to go through our search process. NCTC does not have the budget to run streaming cam year round without a partner.
Going over into my emails......
Be back later.........
Woooah! What is going on here?
Margy, TEMPORARY is what it is! I have a temporary filling in a tooth that has been temporary for 25 years!!:)
Think affray is one of those holdovers from 200 years ago. Lots of reasons people don't learn but a big one is stuuuuuuuuuuuupid.
Mits, so glad you are safe -- maybe the fire alarm was caused by your firecracker personality.
Okay, off to hear how my health care will be affected now that it has become a priority.
Oh, had still cam earlier this afternoon. Will check it a bit later.
Judie
Weird, I clicked on the still cam link and it goes back to the live/blog site.
That's tricky! Do it again, Judi....
I just got bloggered too, could be something in the air...
Was going to say that ISS would have been bright hereabouts tonight but the clouds were thick...
I just got the still cam page open- using the link on the main blog page.
There is an update on the Live Video cam page:
Live Video Update
about the live cam being disabled, posted today.
Me Too, Megan, Thanks...
You can get to it on that last link I posted ....
☺
I couldn't open that page a little while ago-maybe it was being updated then.
And you can get to it the normal way too now....
temporary was short, Great!
Back go cooking...a big pot of goop....
Could be that, Megan or your Magic Touch !
Thanks Steve if you are out there working on things...
Got it. Thanks Dana and Magpie.
I am half listening to the President as I do this.
Okay, he just made McCain smile.
Megan I tried that entry also and didn't get in. I was hoping it was the
program and nothing else.
Sure had me worried and I just did not want to go through one more evening of discontent! So I am a happy nestor
and see the night light.
Megan - a week ago I was going to repot my flower containers on the deck. Glad I didn't. For some reason
my salvia, especially the red, has come back alive and is once again in full bloom.. Little hummer loves them.
Yeah, I love that salvia, hubby calls it the tacky red one..lol..I have it planted everywhere! The hummers do love it.
Ok, still cam is FINE now!! So maybe it was the weather! Or else it's interference from the helicopter flying in Jefferson Co. looking for some bad people!! Watch Ch. 25 news at 11 if you're local.
I got on and you scared me saying you could not get the still cam. I imagagine they were working on the page.
We have hummers galore. More than we have ever had. Not like Megan, but still a lot and more than we have ever had. I, too, have salvia all over. It loves this Texas heat.
lol imagine
Howdy, all!
Lawn is done for another week!
Does anyone watch Top Chef on Bravo? There are 2 chefs on there this season...brothers from Frederick. One owns/cooks at Volt Restaurant in Frederick, the other lives in LA.
I do! I love that show, have watched it for years. Those brothers are intense.
Lynn - we think maybe they were doing the live video update - go up to Margy's comment with blue link and it's there.
Megan - you'll need to come down to the Volt Restaurant here in Frederick.
Or we could try out the Green Turtle
on the Carroll Creek.
Volt looks like a nice place.
Has anyone eaten there yet?
That info was just posted late today then, because it sure wasn't there earlier this afternoon.
I had the popup still cam up when I left and it is still going.
Well, stranger and stranger, Jo. Came back and the still cam was up on the computer screen. Hmmm -- nevermore, nevermore.
Salvia was a hit with hummers but local Bambi ate most of the flowers.
Haven't watched Top Chef but will.
Meagan, tacky red one beat my hubby's "saliva"
Well, have to rise early tomorrow to go talk to the wannabe adults. So, turning my light off but leaving the night light on for others. Until tomorrow -- Oh, Margie, is there a recipe for goop?
G'night everyone,
Judie
Okay, so I don't have a problem getting in, is everybody else's fixed???
Are we speaking of the hot lips salvia?
No Sharon - I think you're the only one that planted that... I am going to get some next season since you liked it so well.
It is beautiful and growing a lot. Need to find out if I can transplant it.
Nite Judie.........
Sharon it is up/running now.
I haven't been downtown Frederick for quite some time, Paula. I'm game to go!
We should really go when it is a
First Saturday.. They usually have some special theme for the shops.
In The Streets is coming up October 3rd
I think.
Going to say goodnight.
See you tomorrow.
Yep, October 3rd.
Going to watch AGT. Feel like vegetating.
Volt is one of the food vendors listed for In the Street.
I am watching a repeat of Top Chef from this season where they cook for 300 military personnel...pretty cool!
Oh yum...I love In the Street, but not sure I'm gonna make it this year. :(
I haven't been to the Green Turtle either.
Goodnight, our great teachers! Have a good day tomorrow.
Come to think of it, I didn't get to go last year either.
Nite Shirley and Judie!
Nite Shirley
Paula, they have the "original" Green Turtle in OC
Phooey - no one posted at 9:09 on 9/9/09 - either this morning on the old thread or tonight on this one... :(
I did take a picture at work of the time at 9:09 on 9/9/2009 off the computer
I am home from work and am tired tonight. Headed to do some reading, night everyone.
Thanks, Mits, I'll have to look it up!
Judie:
Goop:
a pound or so of burger, and anything else I could throw in the slow cooker: onions, potatoes, corn, stewed tomatoes, carrots, and a can of Cream of Asparagus soup.
Should feed me for a few days.
Hello everyone and soon to be Good Night Everyone...
the cooking brothers and all the restaurant talk sounds fun.
Then there is the Earth Dog Cafe in Berkeley Springs, I'll tell you about that someday. Great Pulled Pork Roast!
Good Night Deb
Glad there were some Eagle views today.
I'm heading for the pillows now, will finish what I am too tired to do, in the morning before work.
Prayers for all in need of comfort and strength, wellness and peace.
God Bless Us, Every One xox ♥
Nite, Deb
G'night, Deb! Sleep tight!
No, Margy...missed the exact time this am!!
Thanks, Margy...was wondering what you were cooking!
The Green Turtle has rockfish...yum.
Mits, any other restaurant with good rockfish?
Oh heck, what's another couple more minutes. You can see 09:09 on 9/9/2009 on my Fun and Dandy link if you like.
Gotta like those numbers !
Good Night for real now...
Will probably dream about goop....
xo
had rock fish at Fager's last week, and that is where the opsrey nest is....and a really good rockfish sandwich for lunch at The Shark down in west oc, where are you staying?
man, wind is just howling tonight
Margy, liked your picture of your computer at 9:09.
Think I am heading to the shower. time to get comfy!
Nite all!
Sweet dreams!
ops, my bad, it was a flounder fish sandwich at The shark,,,had rock fish there a couple of months ago.... I love the fresh flounder down here.
I'm staying at the Holiday Inn again, Mits. Reunion is at Fagers...maybe I'll have the rock there.
Margy, get a good night's rest!
You staying there or coming home?
Night Margy and Lolly.
right now think I am staying, really don't feel like coming up for one day for the game....will let you know
My pic is Buphals sleeping on the couch. Reckon I will be reported for animal cruelty??
Have I told anybody today that I really need the ocean in my life??
Also, have I told anyone today that I get to go see Train??????? Too bad I can't get both in at the same time. They are going to be in North Myrtle Beach the night before the Charlotte concert but it is a lot further to travel!
Well, goodnight my fine fowl friends! See you in the morning light...more rain predicted...yippee! It's been a rough day, hasn't it? Prayers for all, but especially for Ceil and her friends' family, as well as her boss. And a final little missive in honor of Koo.

Good Night Sharon & Lynn
I am right behind you........
Good Night All!

But a dream within a dream?
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE

(MARGY, your GOOP sounded really good, until you put cream of asparagus soup in it:))
Love Ya!
Hi, Everyone,
Am home from school, and happy to say that I got an A on last week's Pharmacology test!!! Thank God!! (I couldn't have done it without Him!) Think I did really well on tonight's test, too. (Thank God for that, also!)
Wow, glad I missed all the craziness trying to get the still cam going! Sure glad it's working fine now!
Sharon, that's WAY COOL that you're expecting Train concert tickets! Sure you'll have the time of your life!! BTW, LOVE the picture of Buphals! (Animal cruelty?--NOT!!!!)
Margy, your Goop sounds REALLY good! I'll hafta try that recipe.
Lynn, it HAS been quite a rough day for all of us. I'm really tired and feeling pretty subdued tonight. Think I'll go watch some TV and unwind a bit.
Prayers for healing of hearts and souls, and a final prayer for Koo.
God bless her! Hey, guess what?! It's almost 9:09pm here in CA!
Catch you all in the am. G'night!
Good Grief, missed the whole evening on here. Had a Panda nap and then could not open this page due to "IE ERROR 5001" or something!
On Finney nest page is a video of this seasons' learning to fly. And the Galleria has a new slideshow of Koo at Ranua Wildlife Zoo---tip---in the nest was better.
I saw a neat symbolic view of the nest today---will put capture on Blog.
Tomorrow is another day, said Scarlet!
Pleasant Feather and Goop Dreams~~~

The Internet seems to be more like normal tonight. I hope it stays that way. The tech guy at Time Warner mumbled something about "server" and there had been a huge outage in the whole L.A. area for three days, but I didn't get any more specifics.
They might have been rerouting through this area, because mine would be at least OK one second, and it would come to a complete halt the next second....up and down, up and down. I finally had to forget it for awhile, several times.
