Good Morning

Osprey on the perch at Dunedin

magpie said...

Now two at Dunedin

Which show for Harriet this morning?
GMA or Today? Pls and Thanks

magpie said...

I found it on Paula's link
The Today Show...

magpie said...

Eagle at BWO

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Before I leave town, I thought I would tell you, in case you were wondering...I have NOT heard anything from the BUDDY BUCKS people! I need to check my bank statement to see if they cashed the check.

magpie said...

Wanda

Best wishes for a fun trip with Gene and GeeGee...
Take Lots of Pictures !

xox We will miss you !

magpie said...

I would think that the Today Show could AT LEAST mention something about the Harriet visit if it is going to be on....why not hook some viewers??

Am I missing something?
I don't watch much TV, this is one of the reasons....

But I see that the gang from Sesame Street is celebrating 40 years...

xo

magpie said...

Two eagles at BWO

Mits said...

good morning everyone....

magpie said...

Well the osprey have returned to Cape Coral Fla also but the site is not opening up these days :(
You know, the wild hair site.

I read the info and saw pics on the Puleston site

Best Wishes for everyone today, and as Mema said:
RED FRIDAY

Mits said...

I don't do a.m. TV, because I can't really stand any of these so called hosts...so full of themselves...have not heard anything about Harriet's visit either....with all the more important news from Ft Hood, she could get bumped from the lineup.

magpie said...

Hi (again) Mits ☺

magpie said...

Yes, that is a possibility I agree Helen...on all counts.

It would be an inspiring, patriotic event to air, though...in the light of the tragedy at Ft Hood

Mits said...

yep Margy, that site has been down all week..I didn't bother reporting it here, because I know very few people even watch it, and those of us that do, know it has not been on....I wrote to an address about the status of that nest, but got no response.

magpie said...

I was up late watching the a recording of the presentation of the Mark Twain award to Bill Cosby on ETA - now that was a fun show! ☺
Rita Morena did a fabulous jazz song -

magpie said...

WETA that is.

Mits said...

yeah, much better than that ridiculous sham of a photo-op piece they just did.....will turn TV up, and listen, I'm through watching.....and if they wait till Kathie Lee comes on at 10 and do it then, TV will go off and I will look for videos, as hubby says, they will probably give it 3 minutes max

magpie said...

Same here, have it on, but checking OUR nest, BWO and Finland, and hitting some emails....

I love those PBS Shows! So the cable box challenge was worth it to get the extra two channels back !

magpie said...

Paula
Glad you had the Chinese Chow Pow Wow with the family, and hope the Pansy Planting went well...

magpie said...

Ceil
I should be able to keep my schedule straight now, with inspiration...
Thanks for the little calendar ♥

magpie said...

Ok Mits just read your Cape Coral update....
Wait for it...
Wait for it...
Wait for it...
Like so many other things....

Mits said...

osprey at Dunedin

Mits said...

just flew away

ceil said...

g tMorning all. I had the TV on for the first hour. Don't watch TV during the day.
Margy you are welcome. Keep track of hour road trips.
Off to get a cup of tea

Mits said...

2 eagles BWO

magpie said...

I do hope Megan is watching so she can see the Sesame Street clip coming up on the Today Show...
Will we see Oscar the Grouch ??

ceil said...

I just reread my post. First of all I said Good morning. our road trips

Judie said...

Good morning, everyone.

Soon off to the school house for a few hours.

Wanda, Gene, Gee Gee, have a nice weekend.

Hope all others have a lovely day. Sunshine and a breeze here. Anoter beautiful Fall morning.

Judie

magpie said...

You need that cup of tea, Ceil !!!
I knew what your were saying ☺

magpie said...

Good Morning Judie....wear a little red, and keep your eyes on your prizes...
Hope your day is great

magpie said...

magpie said...

Okday !
Today hosts just said the Birds will be there soon !

Costume Lady said...

Checked my account and the BUDDY BUCKS check has been cashed. I guess they will get around to acknowledging our gift when they have time.

ceil said...

Margy,I was just going to say that
Within the next 1/2 hour Harriet should be on Today

magpie said...

...sometimes those things take awhile Wanda...maybe a volunteer staff....

Mits said...

well it sure did not take BWO, long to reply and be appreciative...should have given them all the money...as Ceil says you live and learn....

magpie said...

I've given donations to the fire department for deceased members and sometimes it takes months to get an acknowledgement
and the secretary is one of my best friends !!

:(

Costume Lady said...

AMEN! Helen.
Bye now...going to pick up our passenger:)

magpie said...

Bon Blessed Voyage Wanda

Mits said...

safe travels, Wanda:)

magpie said...

I understand that in Washington Co Maryland, Veterans Day is not a school holiday...
Excuse me but how can this be ???

Mits said...

2 osprey at Dunedin

magpie said...

Okay - 90 seconds or so, that was poor timing they could have scrapped that stupid photo shoot and given us an introduction to Harriet!
I hate network TV....

Mits said...

what a freakin shame....30 seconds, did not even mention her name, and we had to go thru 6 minutes of the two ego-maniacs Tom Hanks and Tom Brokaw...no wonder I don't watch am TV...:(:(:(

Mits said...

GRAND CANYON SUNRISE

ceil said...

Harriet only got 30 seconds. Took her longer to get there. Margy agree.
Wanda, Gene and Gee have a good trip.
We are going to a Greek Festival today and another oyster/turkey dinner tomorrow.

Mits said...

yummy:)

Mits said...

was not worth the trip..IMHO

magpie said...

Well, Harriet and the handlers are going to visit Ground Zero and some fire stations....

Oyster and Turkey dinner, oh Yum !

Okay got to get some things done away from home.

Best Wishes for a Good Day everyone...Wear your Red, especially today...

magpie said...

Here is my little gift to you all today, my changed pic avatar ♥

Mits said...

aww how cute a red heart leaf

magpie said...

Here is a little better view, bigger. Was from trip to sister's in Annandale in October ♥
TTFN xo

magpie said...

Food and Eagle at BWO - Nice !

magpie said...

Hoody at Finland, so dark, hard to see it

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all!

Anyone watching the Today show to see Harriet? She wasn't on before I left for work.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagles at BWO with a whopper of a fish!

NatureNut said...

Morning Everyone!
Saw Harriet---they ran out of time and only saw a preview of alligator! Wasn't sure she was there~~Boo.
Oh well, gotta hit the shower...

Mits said...

yes, Paula, all 30 seconds of her...just go read earlier comments.

paula eagleholic said...

Pretty hoodie in Finland!

paula eagleholic said...

BWO eagle is digging in :)

Mits said...

Loretta, they did not run out of time, only gave them 2 minutes for the whole segment....such a lame show.

ceil said...

harriet will be better appreciated at the firestation and ground zero
Paula she faced forward and you could only see some feathers sticking up. LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Mits...haven't had a chance to catch up yet...

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, that's a gripe I have about morning TV too...segments need more time...all of them

paula eagleholic said...

They might have had to shorten the time due to the extensive coverage they gave to the Ft Hood tragedy earlier.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like the Mrs at BWO is squawking for a bite...

ceil said...

I had not had time to look in but Jim mentioned about Diego's tenth examine. It is great.
Paula I think even if the Ft. Hood thing had not happened they were given about 3 minutes for everything.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Ceil.

Or the Mrs is chasing away intruders trying to hone in on that gorgeous fish...

Mits said...

hoodie still at Finland...

Mits said...

well i thought that too, paula, but they sure wasted time on some other segments....its just me, I hate these am shows...I watch one hour of TV during the daytime...Days of Our Lives, which have been watching for most of its 44 years...didn't watch it for about 6 years at one time, and them got hooked into it again, and it is a pain in the neck to watch sometimes...

Mits said...

sorry meant Paula...:)

Mits said...

yes, nice catch at BWO....only a few more weeks before BWE comes back online;)

Ms Bookworm said...

Good Morning, Everyone!

Just a quick hello, and gotta get back to homework. Was so tired last night, I fell asleep after dinner! Will be glad when next week is over! Things look a lot better after a good night's sleep, though.
Absolutely horrified about the shootings at Ft. Hood! Can't imagine what made that guy snap, since he's never been deployed. Prayers for all the families involved, for sure.
Asking for prayers for the test tonight--and for the homework! Normally it would be due a week from today, but a bunch of people have turned homework in really late, so he's wanting it turned in tonight instead. Hope I make it!
Gosh, don't know what I'd do without the support of all of you!
You're the best!!! Will BBIALW--need more coffee. :o]

Mits said...

cool on USeeWildlife.com they are showing a huge bird feeder that is near where the deer eat.

paula eagleholic said...

Hoodie just poofed

Mits said...

I love that cam:), so glad it is back up again

Mits said...

good luck, Andrea

Ms Bookworm said...

P.S.~~Hope you all have a fantastic Friday!

Mits said...

from what I have heard about the shooting and don't know if this is a fact, because they did report the guy was dead...he shouting "allah is good" before he started the rampage, so, pretty much knew his frame of mind at that point..surely MTBR

floralgirl said...

Howdy all:)
Pretty day out there:)
Margy, Washington County schools have not had Veteran's Day off for years. They are having a Veteran's Day assembly at her school today, they do every year.
Did the eagle ever appear on the Today show, I rarely watch those morning shows. The mention of Kathie Lee is enough to make me run from tv screaming.
And I loved Sesame Street, as a kid I watched it, and my kid grew up with and loved it. Haven't seen it since the 80's.
Off to get some things accomplished..busy time here- 8 days til the start of the 'cutting of the greens'...
Have a great day everybody!

Mits said...

sorry Megan, me too, did not mean to mention the KL name....grrrr. with the grand-kids, can start watching Sesame Street again....I love that show

paula eagleholic said...

I don't care for Kathie Lee either...gag gag

Mits said...

roflmbo...

Mits said...

ferry just went by at Finland

Lynne2 said...

Good sunny morning from Randallstown everyone!
Well, I blinked and missed Harriet. That'll learn me!
Was wondering if any of you are going to be doing Project Feeder watch this winter?
Megan...do you grow Christmas trees too!?
Good luck on your test Andrea...you sure are working hard!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

More prayers needed. Tom's mom, Granny Riffe, has fallen. They are going to fly her either to Bristol or Roanoke. She has a broken arm and possibly a broken hip. She is on the rescue squad and they are going to land a helicopter and fly her out instead of taking her to one of the hospitals around there. We will keep you updated on this! Life can change on a dime!

Mits said...

prayers for Granny

Lynne2 said...

oh my gosh Sharon how awful....I pray she'll be OK.

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, someone turned out the lights pretty quick at Finland...

paula eagleholic said...

OH my, Sharon. Prayers for Granny Riffe.

paula eagleholic said...

Mits said...

Lynne, what is Project Feed???

normabyrd said...

SISSY---Prayers for GRANNY-!--I have had her on my prayer list--BLESS HER HEART!

Lynne2 said...

http://www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw/

that is the link for Project feeder watch conducted by Cornell.f(sorry, lost my cheat sheet on how to do the blue links) It gives you all the details on how to count the birds at your feeders and when on the website(you get a package in the mail too) There is a $15 reg. fee and it starts on Nov. 14 and goes to April 9.

OR you can go to ebird.org and count too. I do that as well. No charge for that one. On the homepage scroll down to where it has the article "e bird is for everyone"

paula eagleholic said...

Eewwiiee at BWO

Mama Hummer's eggs are due to hatch approx Nov 11-13

Ms Bookworm said...

Sharon,
Prayers for Granny Riffe, for sure!
God bless her! Prayers for you and the family, too! Hope all goes well for her.

Mits said...

thanks, Lynne:)

Mits said...

if you go to their site, Lynne, they have a live bird feeder at Grand Junction, CO...cool

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning All! So thankful I didn't get up earlier to see Harriet!
That is a bummer - Hopefully the rest of the day will go better for them.

Sharon - Will keep Granny Riffe in my thoughts and prayers. Is a family member allowed to fly out with them?

Going to take off out of here for my
hair cut in about an hour.

Lynne2 said...

visit < a href="http://ebird.org/content/ebird/news/all_birders"> this site, hope this works!

Lynne2 said...

ok back to the drawing board

Lolly said...

Good Friday morning!

Saw Harriet! Can not believe I had the TV on for over an hour to see those few seconds! I did get right up to our TV and had a fantastic close up of her. She is something else with her bad feather day! What a great bird!

Norma...had bisquits and sausage this morning. It was yummy, but no homemade bread!

Going to work on Jacob's book again today. Hope to finish it and get it to Office Depot to be laminated and bound.

Prayers for Tom's mother. Hope her hip is not broken.

Mits said...

Lynne, I get posts from blog sent right to my email, saves time when reading and it came up as an easy click on from that....

normabyrd said...

I just watched DIEGO'S 10th exam!-----OH BLUEFIELD SHARON!!---DO NOT let SISSY watch it---she will be hitch-hiking to CA!!---He is just too too much!---makes one want to SWOOOOON!----(not kidding)

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' LOVELY LOLLY!---I have missed hearing about your BISCUITS & SAUSAGE!----You folks have such a fun filled life---with your grandkids!! -- ENVY YOU!

Mits said...

yeah, Ceil, don't know what happened...must have just gone back to my last tiny url

paula eagleholic said...

Lynne, do you want me to email you the instructions again?

Mits said...

yes go to left side and click feeder cam to visit...it is nice:)

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Lynne, you did it!

normabyrd said...

PAULA--do you have the hummingbird site?

Lynne2 said...

it's like riding a bike...LOL

Lynne2 said...

Mits, you mean everything on the blog gets sent to your email? how does that work....

Mits said...

lol...not here, I fall off of bikes....I have a cheat sheet posted on my desk, and, it still does not help me sometimes...Ceil, when are you going to the Greek festival, and where is it?

Lynne2 said...

yeah Paula I finally got it rigth so now I'll cry if no one uses the links.... hahaha!

Mits said...

ok, now your asking the hard questions.....just signed up with my email, and a password I only use for the blog and click a button that says send follow up to me.....I think Paula can explain better.

Mits said...

no worries, Lynne, we get them and put them in our favs:)

magpie said...

Jo - are you SURE it is today ?


So sorry about Mrs Riffe....prayers for her, all the family, and all the health care professionals and EMS people

Takes me awhile to get out the door, all decked out in red...but not pajamas.

Harriet was beautiful, regardless of the fact that we all got cheated of more time with her and her handlers and Mr Corwin.

Focus for Sesame Street this year is Wildlife - ought to be fun.

xo Thinking of you, friends.
xo

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at TH

ceil said...

Lynne I watched the video it is a great thing to do but living in the city do they want the pigeon count. LOL
Mits Greek Festival is on Maryland Avenue and Preston Street. The Annunciation Cathedral.

Lynne2 said...

ok so I just checked that button where it says email follow up comments....

normabyrd said...

MARGY---CORWIN has several tv shows---I have watched him several times---mostly in ALASKA!

ceil said...

Have problems riding a bike. Years ago fell into the flower bed in the park and smashed the flowers
Mits we have got to keep the girls up on Sesame Street with the wildlife this year.

Lynne2 said...

I'm sure they do Ceil! They ask that you don't eliminate ANY of the birds you see just because they are common or you think it won't matter. In face they ask you to check a box to that effect when you submit your data!

Lolly said...

Mits, which site had the CO feeder cam? Thanks!

Mema Jo said...

Sissy had a good morning pic of our Royal Couple at the nest. I copied and placed in EM Album.

paula eagleholic said...

Mits, you got it on the email thingy

Here you go, Norma

hummingbird cam

Mema Jo said...

Sissy wrote on FB:
Granny Riffe fell at home this morning. The helicopter just landed at Graham Middle School to take her Bristol. She has a broken arm and probably a broken hip. No orthopedic doctors in our area, so they are flying her to Bristol. I will let you know as soon as we know something

Lolly said...

Well, that was certainly exciting for the teachers and students at that middle school.

Mema Jo said...

Margy Would I kid you not!

ceil said...

Well got to finish getting dressed and pick up Mits' other sister.
Have my red shirt on and flag pin.
Have a good rest of the day.

Mema Jo said...

Tell Mits' other sister I said Hello!

Mema Jo said...

I'll touch base upon my return...
Red shirt is on!!!

paula eagleholic said...

No sympathy here, Mits, LOL

Mits said...

Mits said...

Lolly said...

Got your mail, thanks, Mits!

I am off to shop a little. Been home all week, time to get out and gad.

Eating out tonight. Wahoo!

Jack and I have a favorite little Italian rest. Little...I mean 6 tables inside and a few outside. Opens at 5:30, we will be there before 5. She is Italian and you can watch her prepare the food.

It is heaven! No fast food for us!
