Thanks for the new thread.

magpie said...

Awesome, Megan, thanks for the alert, and Thanks Steve for the new thread!

magpie said...

Hey Megan, have you ever seen, I don't even need to ask: Flowering Kale? Local flower shop GAVE me one today....☺

Do you ever grow that? Like a red cabbage rose !

magpie said...

and big as a softball !

floralgirl said...

Yes, I've grown it before, very pretty indeed. Hard to keep the cabbage moth caterpillars off it, tho, I have to grow it under floating row cover.

magpie said...

I got a picture of this yesterday at a cemetery...didn't know what it was, asked the florist today...

Floating row cover, huh, sounds pretty technical....


Thanks...I knew you would know about it !

floralgirl said...

Not technical, just like a blanket for your plants, lets the sun through. Different types Can protect plants from bugs and frosts.

magpie said...

well whoever invented that should be rich! great concept...

okay, pink ham and yellow scrambled eggs on the menu tonight...

back after a little while...

Mema Jo said...

Just returned from Mass & dinner.
Thanks for the new 'late in the day' but 'better then never' thread!
I think the sun will be shinning tomorrow for all of us!

Mits said...

Megan, are those your turkey necks on the other blog???:):)

floralgirl said...

NOOOOOOOO!

Mits said...

Wanda...your turkeys necks are on the other blog, Megan would not bring them over

Mits said...

the man who fell from the tree was a landscaper, he is from from Guatemala, will not release his name till next of kin notification ...2 miles from here...sad.

Mits said...

falcons at Alcoa box

Mits said...

back to the closet...

Mits said...

actually 3 falcons at alcoa now

ceil said...

Evening. Paula great pictures.Lynn hope to go to Florida this winter. Loved when we used to go. Have looked into some places to rent on the Gulf side. Went to St. Pete's a few times. Gulf is great. Water so warm.
Judie we had crab cakes tonight. salad. mac & cheese.

ceil said...

What a freak accident.

magpie said...

Hi Ceil -
back in the mid-80's I used to go to Florida in the winter...went to a spring training game where the Orioles were playing, got Earl Weaver's autograph! In a weak and generous moment, I gave it to one of my nephews...

magpie said...

Palm Beach County or thereabouts it was...

ceil said...

Orioles are moving to Sarasota I think. I loved Fort Lauderdale. Where we stayed was great. Right on the ocean.

ceil said...

Margy he was a good manager.

magpie said...

Yep he was....
Fort Lauderdale, that is where we saw them !

I think my pic on avatar this time is Sycamore, you know how I feel about yellow, am drawn to it like a moth to a flame....

got this at Swinging Bridge the other day

magpie said...

oh, got my Christmas address labels from Disabled American Veterans, they are beatiful, not just the Christmas ones, but the patriotic ones. One other reason I like DAV's labels because I am not Ms, Miss, or Mrs...

Mema Jo said...

WOWSIE Take a gander at the
Moose watch cam which is current

magpie said...

When Jo says WOWSIE it is something to behold ! Great, thanks Jo !

magpie said...

sure looks like snow on the ground, I loved Pook's narrative !

magpie said...

Lynn medevac just flew in from the East to City Hospital..have you talked to your son in law..hope it is not for a burn victim....

Mema Jo said...

Margy Take a look at the 2nd sheet of the labels ... 2010

Judie said...

Anyone still on the road to Annandale, please turn back. Crab legs and crab cakes all gone now. Wish I hadn't read mac & cheese -- now I'll have to make some.

So sorry about the landscaper. Tragic.

Paula, looks like a terrific party and an amazing cake. What fun memories.

Shirley, hang in there with the power cord and school lap top. Try to find out what was going on with the measuring of Kathryn's yard --ask the neighbor -- better safe than sorry.

I am really tired tonight. Just in case I fall asleep soon, which I probably will, I am turning my light off but leaving the night light on for others.

Until tomorrow,
Judie

Mema Jo said...

Good to hear from you Judie! Very questionable about measuring the width of a house!

ceil said...

Judie know the feeling Going to say Good night.

magpie said...

Okay Judie, Good Night, ♥ will look for you on Sunday...

Here's Moose Watch, most probably have it but what the heck, maybe someone does not:

Moose Cam in Utah

Mits said...

night Ceil, night Judie

ceil said...

Goose at snowman cam has her pilgrim costume on

Mits said...

aww she looks cute

magpie said...

Good Night Ceil, was at the Martinsburg Train Station earlier, thought of you, Mary Margy and Jimmy !

magpie said...

YES JO !
Some of the "prettiest" ones yet.
And I love that chickadee on the Christmas ones...

magpie said...

...besides the Eagle, one of my very favorite birds ♪ ♫

magpie said...

Go Rest High on that Mountain, just being sung on a PBS channel...goose bumps here

magpie said...

Now I have a project, going to check all my WV DNR calendars from the last 15 years and look for any Eagle pictures....think I need to remind them we have them here in WV...maybe the 2010 Calendar will have one

Radio City Hall Christmas Rockettes show November 26 at 9:30 on WVPBS...

Mema Jo said...

Ms Goose is a cutie
I can't remember if they did anything for the Snowman (Is the snowman Wally)

Mema Jo said...

I really do like watching the wildlife on EPSN. Deer and raccoons now.

Mema Jo said...

Something seems to be spooking the deer on ESPN - looking over their shoulders..........

Mema Jo said...

Looks as though it is just more deer approaching.

Mema Jo said...

There goes that light (?) on again out across the field.

Mits said...

snowman name is Woody, Jo.

Mits said...

you can look in their picture archives from last year and see

hedgie said...

Great shot of Moose at Pooks' place. And snow! She can have it---of course, that's what she was waiting for!!
Goodnight Judie and Ceil. Peaceful evening/night.
Am watching taped Kristi Yamaguchi show---Fairfax's own Michael Weiss is better looking than ever---mmmm! Always felt so sorry for him in his Olympic efforts.
Margy, didn't hear about any injuries...it was a double-wide; Charlie's friends brothers place--had been foreclosed on, and problems w/ vagrants recently. No electric on to it.

Mema Jo said...

Oh Man! My memory is so good! lol

Mits said...

Wally would be a good name too..

hedgie said...

Margy, what do you have against a TITLE on your address labels???

Mema Jo said...

I'll try to remember WOODY - you know by association of Snowman in the Woods.
After all a goose is a goose!

magpie said...

Well, Lynnn...I just don't like "Ms" and that's what most others have....
sometimes I have whited it out or cut it off...just a foible of mine I guess....
Okay have a pile of old calendars on my bed...delightful project ahead ☺

Glad Jo mentioned Moosewatch, reminded me I have some Moosie pajamas, and I have them on Now!

Mema Jo said...

I need a break

BBILW

hedgie said...

Okay, Margy, will TRY to remember NOT to use a title when I send you something! My momma taught me to always do so, but.....I'll break her rule! LOL!

Mits said...

night everyone...

Mema Jo said...

Night Mits!

Not too far behind........

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Everyone,
Coming in late tonight; have been running my caboose off since 5:30 this morning! Went to the high desert & back; house was OK. It was SO bright & crisp up there! All of 37 degrees! Love it!
Have been running all day doing errands, shopping & stuff that must get done. Will try to go to the movies tomorrow.
So glad to hear from Shirley and Judie today! Have really missed you two! Totally understand how busy both of you have been, though. Praying the Lord will send helping angels!
Haven't really caught up on the blog, but maybe in the morning.
Hubby's calling--wants to watch a show we recorded on the DVR. We're so far behind watching TV that only 20% of space left on the DVR!
Gotta watch & delete! Prayers being said for everyone. Have a good night's sleep, and will talk to you tomorrow morning. The night light is brighter than ever, the porch light's automatic, and the eye scanner's enabled. Sweet dreams, and goodnight! :o]

hedgie said...

Me, too. Night Mits, Jo, and anyone else lurking!
See you in the morning light.
God bless us all.

magpie said...

No Eagles, and One Osprey, in all the DNR calendars I checked going back to the early 90's -
lots of red foxes, turtles, and other nice things.

Better say Good Night before too many more leave the Nest here.
Hi Andy - hope you enjoyed your day.

Doesn't matter what you call me, Lynn, just put Magpie on the envelope...

God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥

magpie said...

New Moon occurs Monday afternoon which means any early risers Sunday with a clear Eastern Horizon, might see the tiniest sliver of a moon...will be worth a try here now that we have clear skies in Berkeley County...

Mema Jo said...

I don't really like to be the last one out of here...... so don't know who is left with Lolly at the Retreat & Paula is probably ready to call it a day..


Good Night All
Prayers for everyone's needs/wants
((((hugs)))) ♥ ♥

Lynne2 said...

Good night and sweet dreams everyone! Prayers for all...

magpie said...

... you are not the last, but one of the Best, Jo ☺

good night to you Jo... and
Good night Lynne...

Lynne2 said...

thanks for all of the celestial heads ups Margy!

magpie said...

You're welcome Lynne...gives us something to do waiting for the birds to move around ♪ ♫

I'm still closing things down here...

Costume Lady said...

JO, you forgot me:( I am usually one of the last ones to say...
GOODNIGHT
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL

movin said...



^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
GOOD NIGHT/GOOD

SATURDAY MORNING

TO YOU ALL.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

tHERE'S a new Catalina Report with a lot of pictures and a video clip. They are offering a 2010 calendar with many local eagle pictures too.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

magpie said...

...anyone out there watching.....

we have one eagle in the nest....

magpie said...

and one just arrived at BWO too....

Costume Lady said...

Ms. Belle is in the nest!

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning, Margy. Didn't see you sitting there...I was reading emails and might have missed the visit!

magpie said...

I was going to ask which one it was...thanks Wanda ☺ and Good Morning

magpie said...

I got up to look for Moonie too but it is too foggy

Costume Lady said...

It's 40° here and really foggy, as you can see at the nest. Is it foggy in town?

magpie said...

This is their time for sure...Wanda...to show up...
I am getting some pictures...

Costume Lady said...

ALL GONE:(

magpie said...

good thing I was - because now I can't - -
and she's gone...but I don't think it's over yet....

Costume Lady said...

Jo mentioned last night, that she hoped the LIVE cam is as clear and sharp as our STILL cam is right now...It is VERY sharp, wonder if they (NCTC) has done something to enhance the STILL cam?

magpie said...

could be Wanda...you can practically count the sticks

Hello to you and the Captain this morning ☺ ♥

Costume Lady said...

The Capt. is in Elkins with Dustin. He's coming home today and will go back up Thursday for the hunging season.
Dustin has a new gun (since June) and has never shot it. Gene and Dan (Steerman) are giving him safty lessons and target practice. So anxious to hear his stories:)

magpie said...

well excuse me I forgot he was in Randolph County !

Costume Lady said...

That would be HUNTING. They may do some HUNGING too:)

magpie said...

Dan's good people....I bet those three are really enjoying the time together...

Costume Lady said...

I guess you will be going back to bed?

magpie said...

Not sure yet...

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Dan is a sweet fella. I used to think it would like him for a son. Or even a S-I-L;)

Costume Lady said...

Thought about getting he and Denise together, but she said she didn't want anything to do with Law Enforcement guys anymore. She has been D. from her ex for 15 years now and Dan never remarried.

magpie said...

just the three of them up there Wanda ?

Costume Lady said...

She dated Bobby Dick and he died, her ex was a police officer and is now Frederick Co. Sheriff. So, no cops for her!

magpie said...

I was no that call, Wanda.
long time ago

Costume Lady said...

No, Margy...Dan has his ex B-I-L with him and Jerry went up also.
Dustin has never been "OUT WITH THE GUY" before...he told his sister he was going to be a MAN when he gets back home:)

Costume Lady said...

He was in his Corvette, right?

magpie said...

He might learn some new words ☺
Just kidding...

Not sure about the car, little black one I think...

Costume Lady said...

Could be, he had a red Corvette when he dated Denise and he would wake me us when he brought her home from a date with his ROARRRRRING!

magpie said...

I keep waiting for something like a Sea Eagle to show up at Finland...

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Are we playing cupid this morning? LOL

magpie said...

I think Miss Norma is out here somewhere....☺ She just made a comment on one of my pictures on Magpies Roost.....☺ ♥

Costume Lady said...

I noticed that there are NO REMNENTS of the HEART in the nest now. What a treat that was to see at the time of Deb's death. Had to have been a sign for us.

magpie said...

Hey there Glo!

HOW WAS THE CHRISTMAS PARTY ???

glo said...

Headache and dizzy today. But I have my pop up cam on. Think I am goign to lie back down now and hope to see our pair. Catch ya in a little while.

magpie said...

I agree Wanda...I did post one in the Momsters Photo Album for this month....

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning, Glo...
My daughter needs a companion or husband. She is a very pretty woman and has a wonderful personality. She just can't find the right guy. She wants someone just like her Daddy, but he is a one and only!

glo said...

the Christmas party was good very good. And then I ran into some folks I hadn't seen in years and met their youngest little girl an done in the oven. That too was fun, it always is :-)

magpie said...

Okay Glo, hope you feel better Pronto! I will get my pictures on the album for when you get back up...

Costume Lady said...

I did see that, Margy. Didn't notice it until you brought it to our attention:)

Costume Lady said...

Glo, too much punch?
Rest well!

Costume Lady said...

Going to have to wash and curl my hair or I will scare away the congregation at church...BBL

magpie said...

okay bye you two, it's been nice sharing the early morning with you.
I'm going to go post pictures

magpie said...

I see Wanda got an evening visit picture from last night on there too ☺

magpie said...

the Eagles heard you say "Do something nice for a friend "

magpie said...

And I heard you say "Rejoice and Give Thanks ! "

normabyrd said...

DARN--I get up EARLY & I just fool around!---of course it takes a few mins to make myself beautiful!!---Been thinking about shaving my head like the men---Think how much time one could save----no hair washing every am!---

T-Bird said...

Thank you Liberty and Belle for the nice visit.

magpie said...

Amen, T-Bird

magpie said...

So close to the cam...

normabyrd said...

REMEMBER!--I don't have a trash can---so can't erase---

SHARON tried to find out why a few mos ago--but no answer--

magpie said...

magpie said...

T-Bird said...

T-Bird said...

Wow is all I have to say.

magpie said...

Are you going to wake Sharon up for the Eagle Alert ???

T-Bird said...

magpie said...

Well both again now

normabyrd said...

T-Bird said...

Yes he does Normabyrd. He knows as much or more than I do about birds.

magpie said...

I hear eagle calling in Maine...

normabyrd said...

THELMA!---I should have guessed that!---ho!

stronghunter said...

Good morning.

Please help me find the still cam. I don't have it on this computer.

magpie said...

Shirley:

NCTC Still Cam

magpie said...

and just in time for the return of the Second Eagle -

magpie said...

Osprey at Cape Coral:

Cape Coral Fl Osprey Nest

give it a few seconds to open up

magpie said...

OUR eagles are really dazzling this morning

Good to see you Shirley !

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' SHIRLEY!---The EAGLES have been on for quite a while this am!!----It is been an AWESOME sight to see them staying there so long!!

stronghunter said...

Thanks, Margy.

hedgie said...

Good SOUPY morning---and I don't mean food! Heavy, heavy fog here....dripping wet heavy!
Mits, the video of the dog and soldier homecoming video you sent yesterday was just on the news. The guy is a member of Martinsburgs' own Air National Guard unit and lives in Springfield, VA (community next to Judies'). He is deploying to Afghanistan again inthe spring.

stronghunter said...

They are beautiful. Tried to get the Maine cam, but I don't think this computer can handle all of the downloads necessary for the live cam. It is also painfully slow.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' HEDGIE!---a wee bit soupy here too---has been all morning!!

stronghunter said...

Fog is gone here. It was very foggy earlier.

Guess my Colorado brother is getting major snow.




Poof.

magpie said...

Well I would just stick with NCTC if that's the case, Shirley!

Good Morning Lynn ☺

Eagle flew out

magpie said...

Over two hours of Eagle Action at NCTC - it's about time for me to recognize which one is Which!
sometimes I can, sometimes I can't

normabyrd said...

BAI has DIEGO covered with her body!---Can't wait until we see him alone!---

magpie said...

And Back Again ! Holey Moley !

magpie said...

this is the 4th trip to the nest...

normabyrd said...

I think that's hard MARGY!---The one closer to cam always looks larger to me---than the one farther in the nest!!

stronghunter said...

Yes, I am thankful for what I have, Margy.

normabyrd said...

Both are watching something below the nest---??

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning to those in Eagleland. Foggie around the great nest of Liberty and Belle. They sure have been activity this AM.

stronghunter said...

I can't begin to tell them apart. I know Belle is larger, but it's hard to tell sometimes. I am guessing the one in the middle of the nest is Belle.

stronghunter said...

I see the fog. Really thick there. Sunny and beautiful here now.

wvgal_dana said...

hee hee I just wrote by on of the pics..."do I need to move this stick I'm standing on". Next pic came up and no Belle is moving the larger stick lol

magpie said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
wvgal_dana said...

Liberty is at the back of nest doing nestorations and Belle is in middle well just moved to just behind Liberty.

wvgal_dana said...

Do you all see they have brought some grass in? Ground of nest isn't as bear now.

paula eagleholic said...

Good Morning!

Watching 2 gorgeous eagles in the nest!

Oops, one just poofed!

wvgal_dana said...

Well that picture will help eggs get started lol

wvgal_dana said...

Just like a man gets some then leaves lol

magpie said...

Hey! Was that HP ♥ ♥ ?

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Lib is still there!

Also, you can see more of his tail feathers!

paula eagleholic said...

Did ya'll see HP?!?!?

T-Bird said...

Well, I'm off to make breakfast and visit. I hope you all make a beautiful day. Go Skins, Chargers and Ravens!! :)

Judie said...

Good morning, everyone.

New sunshiny thread. Thank you, Steve.

Ya'll come on over.

magpie said...

hard to tell, looked like it Paula..I have a pile of pics to post, that will be the last of them when I get them up..
Good Morning More Eagle People !
