New thread.

Still working on the cam freeze.

The problem is away from NCTC, and we can only ask for it to be "rebooted".

adult eagle is pulling a huge part of the carcass to eat by himself

Mits said...

now he is by the river drinking

Mits said...

this cam is the best viewing of eagles I have ever seen

Mema Jo said...

USW is Awesome! Thanks Mits for the heads up.

hedgie said...

LOL....The Lockhorns comic for the day has the husband saying to the wife: Don't you do any other bird imitations besides watching me like a hawk?

Mits said...

for about the last hour...they have panned all over the area...1 adult and 2 juvies have been eating , and crows have been standing nearby waiting for them to finish

Mits said...

I think the adult dragged his food down to the river

Mits said...

nope he did not that is just a second adult, the other is still eating

Mema Jo said...

We have never seen coverage like this!
Mits had this on older thread



Link to USeeWildlife

Mits said...

sure are not as graceful when they are walking on the ground, as they are when they are flying

Mema Jo said...

They run with a waddle - don't they.

Mits said...

both adults by the river...nice thing about this site it automatically refreshes on its own

Mema Jo said...

WOW! Camera person is on the ball.

Mits said...

yeah they walk like ducks....I have never seen an eagle walk

Mits said...

:) I think it just sneezed.

Mits said...

omg....this is just amazing

Mema Jo said...

I can't do the 'side step' as well as the eagle.........

Mits said...

now a swan:)

Mema Jo said...

A beautiful white swan!

Mits said...

Jo just posted it , Jim...look up

Lynne2 said...

Hi all! All I see on the USee link is a big eagle on a tree!

Lynne2 said...

I hear a crow and a piliated woodpecker

wvgal_dana said...

Mits I have USeeWildlife.com on and the eagle is sitting on a limb of a dead tree. Are we watching the same cam?

Mits said...

space walk going on now...NASATV

Mema Jo said...

I just enlarged it to full screen
Don't see anywhere to take a pic..

Mema Jo said...

lol Lynne A big eagle in a dead tree is better than no eagle in a well built nest!

Mits said...

yeah Jo, I think if you are a member maybe then

Mema Jo said...

So I turn on the space walk which is
exciting to watch hoping I haven't missed it AND jump out of my chair
when the Crow calls from USW. lol

Mits said...

the cams are not always manned..I have no idea how that works...but this a.m. show was awesome, best I have ever seen since I have been watching eagles

wvgal_dana said...

Just panning around nice area.

wvgal_dana said...

Our eagles are playing "hookie"

Mits said...

:)..yes Jo, me too..had to turn volume down

wvgal_dana said...

JIM you would really like this cam...neat like Pete's Pond but different birds and animals.

hedgie said...

Nice adult at USee, but only showing us his back!!!
Sure wish I could keep a live cam open....boo!
Can't do a capture....need to find my instructions for other way to save a live shot.

wvgal_dana said...

By the way thanks Mits for bringing me to this cam ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Plop right into the water a poop shoot. Glad it didn't hit us.. eagle flys off now...tee hee lighten load and their it flys on other side of pond, lake whatever this is.

Lolly said...

Poop shoot! Oh, Good morning! lol Went to USW just im time for the poop shoot right at the cam. Way to go Eagle!!!

Mema Jo said...

Lynne I don't know bird calls - wish I
did and could ID them as you do.

wvgal_dana said...

Thinking of Delphia ((((((hugs and prayers))))))

Mema Jo said...

Looks like the mallard ducks are going by.. Maybe their quacking was what made the eagle fly........

Lolly said...

I think I just heard a gunshot!

????????

Mema Jo said...

Me too, Lolly.

Mema Jo said...

ANOTHER ONE

Ms Bookworm said...

Good Morning!
I'm here, nursing my cup of coffee and trying to wake up a bit. Have been up since about 5:30 am. Hubby's busy as can be--has taken one car for oil change, and gone shopping to 2 different stores. I think I may need a new battery to keep up with him! Good to see him so full of beans, though. He goes in to the Cardiology Center at Kaiser Permanente on Monday to get his stitches out (Surgeon said the R.N. who's going to monitor his pacemaker can do the job.) and get set up for pacemaker checks over the phone. Mighty glad they're going to watch what's up MUCH better than the Dr. with the other insurance did! He'll get checked every 6 months! YAY!!!

Lolly said...

Oh, definitely....a gunshot!

Lynne2 said...

just heard a gunshot too!
Jo, don't know many...but the Big W'peckers live around us and I see them sometimes...they sound like a jungle noise!

Lolly said...

You would think that if they respect wildlife enough to have cams, that they would not allow any hunting anywhere near there.

Or, is this a hunters web site. Can not remember?

Lynne2 said...

i believe it's a red shoulder hawk on there making all that noise now

Lolly said...

Sure is noisy! Listen to all those birds!

Mema Jo said...

Mits - If you sign up for 3 free days trial - keep us updated how you like it and what all you can view.
I really love the cam. I wish all of you could have been here longer because there was such good viewing of 2 adults eagles and 1 juvie eagle! Really was fantastic.

Lolly said...

Yes, that does sound like a red shoulder hawk. Our favorite!

Mema Jo said...

Got a chuckle from a comment on the PIC PA woods chat:
i know it's hard to believe but I am not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree lol

Mits said...

go above and read the story about this site

stronghunter said...

Good morning! I scanned the blog enough to learn about Paula's expected granddaughter. Congratulations!

Also found the website you are watching. Thanks for the link! think it was Mits.

Was watching the eagle and saw the poop shoot and heard the gunshots. Lots of birds there. You can hear all kinds of calls.

Lynne2 said...

i think I heard 2 hawks. The crows are probably tormenting them....they do like to torment the hawks for some reason.

Ms Bookworm said...

Mits,
Thanks for the link to USeeWildlife--I really love it! It's great to be able to hear all the birds, too.
Like that someone moves the cam around--they get some great shots!
Does anyone know if we can capture pictures from that site?

Lolly said...

Probably not since it is live.

wvgal_dana said...

Andrea my neighbor next door has a pacemaker in. That is what they do they call her and somehow over the phone do the check on the pacemaker. Technology really up-to-date on somethings.

Lolly said...

Oh, I hate to leave such fine company, but time to eat a bite and get busy.

Have a great day! (((hugs)))

Mema Jo said...

A flock of turkeys and some squirrels on ESPN
Little Chipmunk scurrying around in the PA woods.
Diego is sound asleep
The Penguins are NOT in their pool
No Moosies in view.........

Taking a break and getting dressed

BBILW

wvgal_dana said...

Squirrel or something just ran across the grass. Anyone else see it?

wvgal_dana said...

Jo ESPN are you watching on here?

wvgal_dana said...

Well is was not a squirrel it was that crow flying low. Just flew back in.

hedgie said...

Interesting update on Mason-----hope he'll do well in Morgantown.

Costume Lady said...

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! All photos that I have are now posted on the Momsters Album. THANKS TO REBOOTING!

Costume Lady said...

Lynn, wherever you are...I too had trouble with the lighting. With a little help from Picasa, they are better now. The photos, that is:)

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks for the hard work Wanda. I'll check the album out lady. ty

Anyone know what ESPN cam Jo is watching?

Beautiful swam.

stronghunter said...

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Dana,
Yeah, Hubby's first pacemaker in 1987 was checked over the phone. We had a unit the size of a small briefcase, and while on the phone, could put the pacer through it's various speeds and see how it was working. The last two pacers, we couldn't do that. Glad this newest one has that capability! Good thing we still have a landline phone with a cord on one of our extensions, though. I don't think the system works with cells or cordless phones.

hedgie said...

It takes a few tries to get it down----don't think I'll ever be able to do it w/o the instructions in front of me, LOL!

hedgie said...

Sure wish we would get some sun here before I go out to....what else? Blow leaves!

Ms Bookworm said...

Lynn,
Thanks for the USee pic instructions! I've saved them, just in case I forget how to do it.
(I do have an occasional case of CRS! LOL :oD) Going to read the Mason update--back in a bit!

hedgie said...

Andy and Dana---p-pacemaker phone reading are not new-----had a gal at work who came into clinic to do it monthly since 1980!

hedgie said...

Wanda, I will throw pics on puter this evening and see what I can do w/ Picasa---have never tried that stuff!!! May holler for help!

hedgie said...

Very nice, Wanda gal!!

hedgie said...

Fuel time!!! Quick and easy PB&J, and then out I go. BBL!

wvgal_dana said...

I think my Internet Explorer is freezing up because it wants me to add more "add ons"....oh just jolly ho

Mema Jo said...

I'm back!
Dana - the ESPN usually has lots of deer in the evening and occasionally a black bear.

Link to ESPN

Mema Jo said...

Wanda - you got them all! Great job

Ms Bookworm said...

Lynn,
Yes, we were totally blown away that that capability had been around for a while when Hubby got his first pacemaker in 1987. Truly amazing what doctors are able to do. Medicine sure has come a long way in the last 100 years, hasn't it? Thank God He's let us get this far!

Mema Jo said...

I'm dressed and now I am going to eat!
I need food - like Norma says or
Fuel time - like Lynn just said. lol

Mits said...

that swan can sure move fast..

Mema Jo said...

A swan glides through the water just as smoothly as an eagle flys through the air

stronghunter said...

Hi, was working on my photography assignments when I thought I heard an eagle call.

stronghunter said...

That swan is really beautiful.

Mema Jo said...

You think that we are watching the real Swan Lake???

I'm eating..........

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Jo got in favorites both cam 1 and cam 2 ty hugs

Ms Bookworm said...

Dana,
My laptop is doing that lately, too. Most of the memory on it is filled with programs and updates to programs, so I changed the settings so it couldn't add any updates without my permission. Now it keeps doing "crash dumps" if it sits idle for a few hours. (Hate to shut it down completely, because then I have to re-sign-on to several sites.) Keep getting pop-up boxes from MS, frantically wanting to do updates, too. Wish I'd bought a Mac! Sigh.... :o[

stronghunter said...

BBL. Trying to finish up the photo class.

wvgal_dana said...

Andra I added some "add ons" to Internet Explorer and it is loading faster than ever ...these computers.....never happy lol

wvgal_dana said...

I am putting out a "missing eagle alert" !!!

Mits said...

sure can hear the eagles at USW

stronghunter said...

The eagles keep calling me back from my homework. I am trying to learn about Photostory.

stronghunter said...

Just went over the 700 mark.

stronghunter said...

Eagle our nest!

stronghunter said...

Both now.

stronghunter said...

Hearing eagle calls on other site!

stronghunter said...

Anybody else out there?

Lolly said...

Have been in the kitchen working. Laurel hinted that she was out of hot chocolate mix. Actually she did more than hint. She told me....so I have been out mixing it up. She drinks way more of it than me, but I make it.

Anyway. I am listening to USW as I work. Wish I could listen to you blog. lol

Back to work!

Mits said...

yes, I see them

stronghunter said...

Both of our eagles still in nest.

stronghunter said...

Looks like they are posing for us.

stronghunter said...

Good morning, Mits.

I see feathers blowing.

Mits said...

hello, Shirley

Mits said...

weather for nest...

This Afternoon
Mostly cloudy. Highs in the mid 50s. Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph.
» ZIP Code Detail
Tonight
Partly cloudy in the evening...then becoming mostly cloudy. Lows in the upper 30s. Northwest winds around 5 mph.
Sunday

Mits said...

bee buzzing around USW cam...

Mits said...

tails up on the swan

Mits said...

she must be eating lunch

stronghunter said...

Bit of wind at the nest now--just enough to ruffle the feathers. I am enjoying the USW site too.

stronghunter said...

I see the swan feeding.

Vocal eagles!

Mits said...

yep, I hear them....:)

stronghunter said...

Would be nice to hear our eagles. They are the ones that taught me what an eagle sounds like!

Mits said...

and yet out of all the eagle cams I watch...they are the least vocal...

Mits said...

showing the 2 adults in the tree now

magpie said...

Hey - Eagles at our nest....

Mits said...

yes Margy we know:)

magpie said...

O never mind I didn't read UP

just getting back

HOLY MOLEY WHAT A PAIR !!

Mits said...

they have been there for awhile:)

Mits said...

poof belle

magpie said...

....and leaving again...no Panda stamps at our post office yet :(

See you all later, going up for James, wish he was here NOW to see Liberty and Belle...

xo

stronghunter said...

Yes. I did not hear them for a long time--at least not the adults. Just Hidey. They produced one vocal offspring. But one day, I was watching the live cam and heard a commotion of calls I did not recognize, but it was either Bell or Lib with Hidey. They both suddenly landed in the nest, very vocal that time. It was one of the last times we saw Hidey.

magpie said...

:)

I usually read UP but just about fell over when I saw them...

Ta Ta...♥

Mits said...

have fun Margy....

stronghunter said...

Just took a bunch of nest pics. I am hoping I might use them for my photography assignment. A photostory of Belle and Lib would be fun.

Ms Bookworm said...

Is that Lib? Gosh, it's good to see one of OUR eagles again! Gotta have my fix!

magpie said...

Thanks Helen....♥☺ I think I will, coming back here for a sleepover...that's the most fun.
okay really, not pulling any more Ceils or Margys xoxox
B Y E ...

Ms Bookworm said...

That is a pretty swan at USee, though.

stronghunter said...

Bye, Margy.

I have to take my computer and hook it to the printer so I can print out the directions for the Photostory assigment.

Ms Bookworm said...

Hey, Shirley, that's a good idea--a photo story about our eagles! Can't lose with that subject matter!

stronghunter said...

That's Lib still at the nest? I thought maybe Belle was the first one to arrive. Seemed large.

Mema Jo said...

Lib is so patient! Has to be waiting for you know who!

stronghunter said...

I have about 100 pictures on my computer. Plenty to select from, or one very long story.

Ms Bookworm said...

Bye, Margy,
Enjoy your day off! Hope our eagles return later so James can see them!

stronghunter said...

George just came back to join me on the recliner. Poor guy, he has a time whenever I get up. Keeps lying on the footrest and gets dumped. I think he is mostly on the seat now. This huge recliner has plenty of room for both of us. Perfect. He has not always been coming up to my bedroom at night, and if I come downstairs, he's sleeping on the recliner.

Mema Jo said...

long visit

Ms Bookworm said...

Shirley,
Our eagles are SO photogenic, seems to me you couldn't lose! Bet you'll get an A+!

Mema Jo said...

Shirley - George knows where the comfort is! But I bet you miss him at night not being on the bed.
If mine are not on the bed - one is in Hubby's chair and one is in mine!

Mema Jo said...

I would have loved seeing our eagles bringing in to the nest those very very long sticks (limbs)

Mema Jo said...

Hi Andy - what are you getting into today? Any rain out your way?

Ms Bookworm said...

Shirley,
Tell George I said "hello", OK? Glad your big recliner has room for the both of you. Since you're working on your homework, guess I'd better get busy on mine, too. This book for the new class has fewer, smaller pictures, and LOTS of fine print! Takes a LONG time to read a chapter. Will be back later, though. Take care, everyone! (Shirley, hope the prep for the colonoscopy isn't too intense! :o[)
Back later.... :o]

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Jo,
No rain here. Kinda overcast this morning, and it was pretty darn cold last night (flannel sheet alert!). There's supposed to be a weather front moving in north of L.A., but we should only get the lower edge of it, with just clouds and no rain. Expected high in my neck of the woods is 68 today.
Hope to get some housecleaning done, and maybe go to a movie later. Guess that new vampire movie is a good one. Really liked the first one, so may go to that.

Mits said...

USW back on deer feeder now....

wvgal_dana said...

Well I guessed putting out the "missing eagle alert at our nest" worked lol

stronghunter said...

The colonscopy prep has changed a bit since the last time I did it. I am already in the liquid diet time frame--as of noon today.

Today is liquids, tomorrow is clear liquids. The last part starts tomorrow sometime and finishes on Monday morning. I have bought the kit, but not all the liquid foods I'll need.

Will go shopping eventually. I think I can have ice cream today. Might go get a milkshake--after double checking the directions. Tomorrow will be the hard part. I will be glad when it is over.

Haven't been very hungry recently, anyway. Right now, that is a good thing!

Ms Bookworm said...

Gosh, I miss having a cat or dog around. Wouldn't be fair to have one right now, though. Either not home enough, or not able to spend enough quality time with them. Plus, our son-in-law is drastically allergic to cats. If they came to visit, he'd be having bad asthma attacks. Not good! Well, better go check the washer & dryer, and read more of my assignment. Back later! Take care, and have a great afternoon! :o]

Mits said...

eagle at BWO too..

Mema Jo said...

I'm going to put some pics in the album
Really no movement between them at all
Maybe I'll just put the 1st one in and wait until there is an MT nest to show how long Lib lingered.

stronghunter said...

Lib looks frozen to that one spot.

Lolly said...

Wowser! Just glanced in....and an eagle.

Lolly said...

How long has Lib been in the nest?

stronghunter said...

There has been an eagle since 12:51 at least. Long time. I think that was Belle. Lib came in a few minutes later. He has been there alone since 12:53.

Lolly said...

That is a long time! He is not moving much. Interesting!

stronghunter said...

He's been in that spot for a long time.

Lolly said...

Yeah, I am watching him and TCU on TV. Game just started. GO FROGS!

Mits said...

Ribbit:)

Lolly said...

Nope! A HORNED FROG! We do not ribbet!!!! lol

Lolly said...

I would be worried about Belle, but you all said she was there earlier. I imagine she is in the tree.

Costume Lady said...

HONK, HONK! (Horned Frog)

Costume Lady said...

Don't you think Lib is waiting for Belle to come back and tell him where to put those sticks? LOL

Lolly said...

Boo Hiss, Wanda!

It did make both Jack and I smirk! lol

Lolly said...

Poop shoot!

Lolly said...

Two!

stronghunter said...

Belle has returned!

hedgie said...

Good one, Wanda!!!!Sorry, Lolly.

BOTH!

Lolly said...

Jack was commenting that we were seeing the eagles a lot. I had to explain about nestorations and soon to be hanky panky!

Lolly said...

Color in the nest is soooo good!

Now for live feed and sound!

Lolly said...

Looks like a bit of nestorations.

hedgie said...

I gave up outside---too chilly, and feels like dampness is going right to my bones! Still no sun.

Costume Lady said...

Feeling a little bummed out today...think I'll go to the store and buy myself something. BBL

Lolly said...

Poof one!

Lolly said...

Eagle still there!

Lolly said...

I wonder if Belle and Lib are having to protect their nest. (only kidding!) They are declaring squatters rights!!

Eagle still there!

Lolly said...

TCU is ahead. Half time and the announcers were speculating about bowl games. One speculation was TCU vs Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl. That would be so fantastic,(A house devided!! Wahoo!) though possibly they will be in the championship game. GO FROGS!

Lolly said...

Two eagles again!

Lolly said...

Poof one!

Mits said...

have not a clue why they are hanging around so long today...don't look like they are doing anything special...

Lolly said...

All eagles have poofed!!!!!

Lolly said...

It has been very unusual behavior, Mits.

Mits said...

not sure I have ever seen them just sit there and do nothing, shooting the deer does not start until next week, so they were not sitting there for safety..????

Mits said...

BWO...update....

11/21/09:
If you visit Blackwater Refuge, you can go to the Visitor Center or the Wildlife Drive and see the eagles sitting on the osprey platform.


great pic of the osprey platform

hedgie said...

Was chatting with Chrissy on FB----prayers for them-----on flood watch alert; sandbags are at the doors.

hedgie said...

Did You Know.....if you or your kids or grands like Eggo waffles---shortage alert!!! Kelloggs' main Eggo plant in Atlanta heavily damaged by flooding. They are trying to get an old plant up and running, but expect big delays in production til next summer!

Mema Jo said...

Took the afternoon off..... Now I am ready to go to Mass...

Will touch base as soon as I return..

BBL

Mema Jo said...

Almost at 800! I know you will split before I come home but I WILL FIND YOU

Mits said...

these rains that the UK are having are coming from IDA

hedgie said...

Wanda, you must be lonely without the Captain! Shopping MIGHT help!

Christie got her free turkey at the grocery store today----for my Christmas dinner. We assumed that the free ones would be a limited weight---maybe 12 lbs. Nope....ANY size! So she got a 22pounder! Now I won't have to cook an extra breast! $26 value...good deal!

Lolly said...

TCU 45 WYO 10!

Go FROGS
Ribbit!!!
Honk! Honk!
Whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lolly said...

Leaving for the store!

hedgie said...

Didn't know that, Mits!! Wow....some powerful storm to have held out all the way across the Atlantic!
I'm guessing that Ida also caused the problem at the Kellogg plant.

Costume Lady said...

OH NO, MR. BILL!!! No pumpkin pie and no Eggo Waffles...what are we gonna do?? WHAT NEXT?

stronghunter said...

Did a little love story about Belle and Lib for my Photostory assignment. Tried to post it on here, but so far no luck. I am also having trouble sending it to the blog for my class.

stronghunter said...

I think the problem is that the default e-mail for this computer is my work e-mail, which I can only access at work, and I am not planning to be there until Tuesday, so I will try again later.

stronghunter said...

Time for the split.

Mits said...

just remember it is Saturday....not Thursday:)
