ceil said...

Wanda thanks for posting the pictures.

Lori O. said...

Hey all - I'm sooo excited to watch the snow fall tomorrow! AND, I wanted to let all the Panda lovers,(& who could not love Tai?) know I'm sad too and thinking of you. Wow, can't believe he's four yrs old already!

Mits said...

thanks for posting the pics, Wanda:)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Good Morning, aLL.

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

I haven't been over to the old
thread this A.M. Have you seen the
update on Mason's blog?

Also there is a new "exam entry" on Diego, and there will be a video clip later today.

Jim

movin said...


You know, I think more than the numbers are screwed up on this blog lately.

I checked for a "new thread" notice, and I did not find one, although I clicked "newest" twice.

But after I published my notice, two or three notices by Magpie were clearly visible just above mine.

None of this explains why nobody is commenting on this thread though.

Mema Jo said...

I found Mary Margaret's pics on
SMILES blog of Wanda's.

My hair cut is short enough that come Christmas I will look great! lol

Mema Jo said...

Lori - I have a gd in Germany sporting a wild looking bulldog shirt and loving it! Thanks again!

movin said...

Diego is getting more active now.

I just saw him get up and walk out of the den.... But then he just kinda sat back down and backsided just inside the den again. And he's still making moves like he's about ready to start exploring the great outdoors.

movin said...


Guess the Hummingbirds have fledged.

Nobody home when I decided to open a link to that nest again.

Jim

movin said...

Well, later, everybody............

Jim

Costume Lady said...

Well, Jo that must mean they gave you a BUZZ CUT:)

I am so sorry that I told you the wrong blog for MM photos. I have been trying to post photos from Thanksgiving to send to my girls and photos of little Jayden and I am so mixed up! I feel like I need to have a couple of clones of me:)

hedgie said...

Good late afternoon, eagle buds!
I have done all I can do outside. It is COLD!
You won't believe this, but I have hyacinths popping up in a large planter! Guess they won't progress any further, but....don't they know it's winter?? And toadstools are everywhere----even in the driveway! Crazy.
Have caught up on blog (every time I took a break)...thanks for all links and updates. Good Mason news.
Knew about the poor whale yesterday, but forgot to tell you! Have they truly gotten him untangled? It was even in his mouth! Awful!
Wanda, have you gotten your mail today????

Costume Lady said...

Hi, Lynn...not yet. I'm sitting under the hairdryer waiting on Gene to come home from the grocery store...he will bring the mail in. I hope I have somethiing beautiful in there! I am sooo looking forward to it! I feel like it is Christmas morning:)

hedgie said...

Jim, they had said that Diego/Cloud will probably be taken outdoors this week----guess Mama hasn't felt quite ready yet! Sure would be fun to see how he reacts to the real world!
And you are right about the blog---more than numbers are screwy. DOuble posts, saying conflicting edits, but posts show up anyway, things appearing on different pages and then on the right page......gremlins at work, for sure. Steve says he will check into it soon.

Costume Lady said...

Just don't let Steve know that I can CAST SPELLS;)

Mits said...

well to my computer the blog is almost acting like a virus...it is always hanging after a post, and since I have the posts sent to my email, they will not open or delete at times...or just take so long....

Mits said...

EAGLE

Mits said...

IN NEST NOW:)

paula eagleholic said...

Wahoo!! A new thread. Thanks!

Mema Jo said...

Earlier than usual for

Eagle in the nest

paula eagleholic said...

And an eagle in the nest!

Double Wahoo Wahoo!!

Mema Jo said...

I think that is Belle

Taking a few pics

paula eagleholic said...

And when the blog is all weirded out, you have to click on "newer" not "newest"!

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Big Belle

Mema Jo said...

She sure is beautiful.

paula eagleholic said...

(Poof)

Mema Jo said...

That was quick! Poof

paula eagleholic said...

Which one dug that hole?

paula eagleholic said...

Mits, mine hung just a short while ago. I closed IE and reopened it...acting better now.

Mema Jo said...

That may not be a hole.... depends how you look at it.... I think it is a clump of grass........

I sure hope it isn't a hole or we're going to lose our eggs......

Can you see it as a clump of grass ?

paula eagleholic said...

From BWE -

12/04/09:
Eagle Cam Note
Our tree climber had an equipment emergency today, so he'll have to reschedule for next week to come out and perform maintenance on our cam for the new season. We'll let you know as soon as we get updated information.

paula eagleholic said...

I think one of 'em was digging a hole!

Mits said...

I'm wondering if it my IE8 that is causing the problems.....have had it on for several weeks now...some things good, some things not so good...but then my verizon keeps making me sign in all day, and when I sign in there, I have to sign into the blog too...getting me a tad frustrated....I want those computers they have on NCIS and Criminal Minds:)

Mits said...

holey moley...what a hole:)

Mits said...

I think it looks like a hole to me:), but would not trust my eyes as a a final say....

ceil said...

I see that hole and thought it was the egg hole. Went don't like it that close to the side.
Just watched the SD cub's exam. He sure is a cutey and boy he lets them know he wants down.

ceil said...

Jo I see the grass but I think it is a hole also.

Mits said...

too funny the latest Yun Zi exam,... Ceil, remember when we thought something was wrong with Tai's back legs, they just seem to take longer to get stronger

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I don't think it is a hole. I think it is a clump of grass.

ceil said...

I thought Tai would never walk. His legs kept slipping. We even wanted them to put down a mat but they said Mei would tear it up.
Remember the night he was up the tree and would not come in.

ceil said...

Eagle eye is probably right but it looks like both to me.

Mits said...

yeah it was during a storm in May....keepers had to stay till he came down

Mits said...

under the magnifying glass it looks more like a clump of grass...if it disappears we will know it was not a hole

Mema Jo said...

It is a shame we don't have a ZOOM on this still cam..........

Hopefully it will just disappear

hedgie said...

If it's a hole, maybe they'll train the peeps to use it for poop shoots!

Mits said...

good idea, Lynn:)

magpie said...

Oh you lucky people, yay for another Eagle Visit...

Mits, I really can, from personal experience, envision you scoonched up to the computer monitor with your magnifying glass !

Hello Eagle People ☺

Mits said...

yes Margy, reading glasses and the magnifying glass are my best friends:)

magpie said...

I mentioned yesterday, the December issue of Audubon Magazine has a great little article about Binoculars, what to look for, and all that.
Taught me a few things
Written by a birder from way back...

magpie said...

says if you ask an expert, ask a birdwatching expert, not a hunter or fisherman....or skywatcher

magpie said...

Me too Mits and unfortunatly, my regular eyeglasses. Article also mentioned about that, wearing your eyeglasses while using field glasses....
very friendly article.

magpie said...

Maybe it is a food-hiding hole

magpie said...

into the work tunnel tonight, two twelves and a six :(

Mits said...

if it is, it is Belle's hiding food from Liberty

magpie said...

Righto, Mits ☺

magpie said...

Into the Hole !

magpie said...

That means

EAGLES AT THE NEST !

Mema Jo said...

Royal pair turning on the night
light!

paula eagleholic said...

It's ghost eagle!!

magpie said...

And all gone, I think I got four pictures, will post shortly, including one very large Eagle Head !

magpie said...

Whew - was afraid I was all alone.

That was one BIG HEAD wasn't it ladies ?

Mema Jo said...

Glad to have seen them both there!
Have some pics....

magpie said...

What happened to the HOLE ??

Have a good Evening everyone....

magpie said...

Jo - I am going to slip on and put mine up....OKAY ?

will be done in about two mins

paula eagleholic said...

Head was huge...

I don't see the hole now either...will have to wait until daylight to see...

magpie said...

There go my 75 afternoon Canada Geese flying over ♪ ♫

NatureNut said...

Holy Moley! Just checked my email and there are 26 Re: or Re Re emails !!!HELP
Got letter from our secretary at the Park & she saw adult eagle on a branch in front of the nest!!!!!!That's the only reason to make me go there tomorrow. If I see flakes, I'm bailing!

hedgie said...

Tai on news!

magpie said...

took me a little longer than I thought, but I am done, Jo....

Big Head is on there...

Hi Loretta, that sounds Great!
Hope NO SNOW Saturday.

TTFN xo

Judie said...

Hello everyone,

Got very busy with the last week of classes and grading. Sorry I'm not up-to-date.

At Walter Reed today. Artery disease is progressing rapidly. Been referred to a vascular specialist at Washington Hospital Center. Bypass likely. Will keep you posted.

So sad that Tai Shan will be leaving. Maybe Natl. Zoo could bring a San Diego bear here. Did watch the newest exam a few minutes ago -- Diego is a heart throb.

Well, off to gaze into the frig. for inspiration. Maybe steak and potato and salad after a long and stressful day.

Missed chatting with everyone and hope all is well.

Hope Sharon enjoyed Train and everyone with doctoring received good news.

Lynne2 said...

Hello all! Busy day and cooking dinner now. Just wanted to say hello! SNOW tomorrow! Shouldn't be too bad on the roads though because the ground is warm. Looks like a "grass accumulation" expected of 1-3"!!
JUDIE! Artery Disease! Oh my, I didn't know...wow. Prayers, girl, prayers!!
Hen on the news...laid weird shaped wrinkly egg with a cross imprint! I'll have to find a picture to post!

stronghunter said...

Judie, please do keep us posted. Take good care of yourself. Thought you were probably busy with exams.

If you want to see a winter wonderland, take a look at the Snowman cam.

Mema Jo said...

Shirley - Judie Snowman cam temps are dropping. The snow will get as high as the picnic table and then some by the time winter is gone. Once we
saw a deer jump up over the snow bank!

hedgie said...

Oh, no....Tom Brokaw and wife in bad auto accident in NY...not injured but woman in other car was killed.

Judie....so sorry to hear this news....how soon will you know more???? Did they say that a bypass owuld also help improve your legs? Prayers, big time for sure....keep us posted! I was just going to issue a red alert for you!

stronghunter said...

Jo,

It is very pretty there tonight.

News is saying they're pre-salting the roads. It looked like there was something on the roads I came home on today.

Hey, maybe people will panic and cancel their hair appointments tomorrow and I can squeeze in a perm. I am going to give it a try if the roads don't look too bad. I couldn't get an appointment with my favorite hairdresser more than a week ago.

ceil said...

Okay Judie we will pray for a miracle.That surgery will not have to be done.

Mema Jo said...

Lots and Lots of Deer on ESPN and also
USee Wildlife ....

Don't really like the PA Woods cam much anymore......

paula eagleholic said...

Heading out to do a little shopping, catch ya'll later!

stronghunter said...

3 deer at Snowman.

Mema Jo said...

There goes the beautiful white swan on USee cam

Mema Jo said...

That prayer for Judie sounds excellent Ceil!

Mema Jo said...

Dinner time -

BBL

stronghunter said...

Would be something to see one jump over a snow bank. Jo, I will be watching for that.

American girl has been found guilty of murder in Italy.

stronghunter said...

Doug Hill is hinting at a cold, snowy winter this year.

stronghunter said...

Houston, Texas, is having a snowstorm.

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Gang!
Well, I've finally hit a stopping point. The Christmas tree is up, and the lights are lit! Got some garland on the fireplace, and lights there, too. Phew! I'm slam wore out, as I think it's Sharon would say. I'm done for today! Can trim the tree tomorrow. Need to try to catch up on the blog. Will be back later, but just wanted to give you my progress report. Have a good evening! BBL.... :o]

stronghunter said...

Happy Birthday, Laurel.

stronghunter said...

Trying to read back a bit. Going to take a little break and close my eyes for awhile.

hedgie said...

Gotta head for sofa for a panda nap----been a long day! Tummy is full...nope, not with turkey, but drowsy just the same!

Lynne2 said...

EGG

Mema Jo said...

Diego is doing his exercises again while lying on his back.

Lynne - What do you think! I think any reason is great to make people STOP and remember what Christmas is all
about!

Mema Jo said...

I just watched Diego's last exam - He is raring to go! Love the little black
tip on his tail!

Lynne2 said...

I agree Jo! Although I couldn't help think it was more of an Easter egg!

Mema Jo said...

BTW Lynne Next haircut is 1/8/10
at high noon! Don't forget !
lol

Mema Jo said...

Back to the Christmas cards......

bbilw

hedgie said...

Jo, mine went in the mail today!
BTW---reminder that Hanukkah begins at sundown next Fri., the 11th. Send Geula a card!!

NatureNut said...

Well, got some laundry done including Park sweatshirts! My chore for tomorrow (email from the boss) is to proof the 2010 tide tables! There are usually 4 tides a day x 365 days! Used to be worse before 'puters. Had to convert the Balt. Harbor tides for our area by subtracting one # for Low & another # for High, so that was about 1400 subtractions! And I always tried to get it done by New Years. Now they come on a disc to AA Park across the river & they send to us.
If 'puter is still blocked, I won't be able to get on anything! AARRRRR

Mema Jo said...

Very good idea Lynn - Thanks.

You have an email.

Mema Jo said...

I like to read FB - but at times it drives me up a wall - My Wall! lol

hedgie said...

Hi, Loretta! Sounds like SO MUCH FUN.....NOT!!
Speaking of sweatshirts, I got the grandgirls their school hoodies today---lovely emerald green with embroidered red apple and Musselman across front (school in Inwood, WV which for many years was where our big Musselman apple plant was---LOTs of benefits to area, hence school name; teams are the Applemen). Their paternal GF was an orchard manager for Musselman back in the day.

stronghunter said...

Going to say good night. I will see you tomorrow. Maybe there will be snow when I wake up in the morning.

I have to admit that I would rather not waste a good snow on a weekend. We teachers are sometimes worse than the kids. We love snow days. So nice to wake up in the morning and have that message that you can roll over and go back to sleep.

One December I even said a little prayer for snow in Culpeper and no snow in Fredericksburg, so I could get my Christmas shopping done while my own kids were in school. It actually happened. It was a blessing.

hedgie said...

LOL, Shirley....you are bad! Just kidding, of course.....can surely understand! From the way the map looked earlier, you may not get any snow, but Culpeper might---what will that do to the SAT's?? Bet those kids are hoping!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Bluefield Beavers just won their 10th State Championship! GO BEAVERS!

hedgie said...

Congratulations, Beaver grads and fans!!! Way to go! What class are they in, Shar?

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

AA.

Mema Jo said...

VALMONT
The Valmont cam is up as of today -- no footprints in the snow.


Valmont Owl cam - not sure they are there yet but cam is running

Mema Jo said...

Sharon That is good News! You all didn't go to the game did you?

Mema Jo said...

Going to get dressed for bed but
I'll be back before I head back for
the night.

BBILW

Lynne2 said...

Good night eagletamigos! Careful anyone dealing with snow tomorrow...we don't want to hear the thud of any falling momsters! Sweet dreams and prayers for all!
(Jo, gotcha covered!)

hedgie said...

Been working on name tags for retiree luncheon. 81 attending! Pain in the neck job---can't seem to get the program to hold a format; having to set font and color for each tag---argh!!!

Mema Jo said...

Thanks and good night Lynne

I'm not far behind

Costume Lady said...

Went to GG's and took some roast pork and sauerkraut (which she loves) for our supper. She sais, "do you want me to eat this NOW?" I want to get some crab legs and spinach casserole. So, off we went.

LYNN, on our way into town, I listened to the most beautiful music, sounded straight from heaven! Goose bumps everywhee;)
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! And Christie, too!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LOVELY LAUREL. How lucky she is to have Lolly for her Mother:)

Mema Jo said...

Good Night Wanda
Lynn - 81 is a lot to have to set up individually. Can you type all of them - highlight - then set the size & font?

I am trotting back to my comfy bed...
Just hope I can get my brain to be silent so I can fall asleep.

Good Night All
Pleasant Dreams and Peaceful Sleep
Prayers for everyone! Love you all!
(((hugs))) ♥ ♥ ♥

hedgie said...

Thanks, Jo---I'll try that on the next page! Good thinking!

Wanda, isn't the CD wonderful?!

Heading for tub and bed. Sleep well all. Hoping the snow is just a misforecast!! Prayers for all.

Costume Lady said...

Don't know if anyone posted Ed Meyey's Obituary photo and poem, but I went on and put it on my SMILES. Click to enlarge photo and poem, it is beautiful!

NatureNut said...

Will do, Wanda ☺
Gotta hit the hay~~~~packed up a bowl of Bacon Pasta to take to work. Hope to share some.

Happy Birthday to Lolly's Laurel!!!!!
Got pics still in camera of last night's waning moon & some deer & ducks at Chelsea.Hope to do them over weekend. Gotta do Xmas too!
Pleasant Feather Dreams to all ;>)

Lolly said...

Hello all!!!! Back from Laurel's. We had fun!! We went out to eat Mexican food. Yummy! The owner came over to talk with Joey, discovered it was Laurel's birthday. After dinner they brought her fried ice cream and about a dozen waiters came and sang. They put a huge sombrero on her head. On the way home we sang The Twelve Days of Christmas with Joseph leading us. He was really enjoying it and laughing so hard aftrerwards. The van was rocking!

Tomorrow more decorating and then go back to Laurel's to babysit.

JUDIE, prayers for you!!! We are a powerful group and we shall lift you up.

Oh Shirley, I do remember wishing strongly for a snow day. As bad as the kids....hey, I think teachers are worse!!!

Ms Bookworm said...

Good (very late) evening, everyone!
Judie, I'm relieved to see that you've checked in here today, but boy, do we need to pray about your news from the Dr.! Praying for clear arteries for you! Please DO keep us posted! How soon will you know for sure? Believe me, you are in our prayers big time! Why not expect a miracle?!
I've been SO busy today, I'm worn out! Once I get ornaments on the tree tomorrow I'll show you guys a picture. I'm finally getting in the Christmas mood!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Lolly!
Sounds like a good time was had by all at Laurel's Birthday bash! That's great!

Lolly said...

Hi Andy! Chatted with you this morning. Only fitting to be on with you tonight.

Lolly said...

Hopefully we will finish decorating outside and inside tomorrow. The tree however, will have to wait til Sunday now. That is okay. We used to wait until after Laurel's birthday to decorate. I always thought her birthday first....then Christmas. lol Tonight I put her presents under her tree!

Lolly said...

Jack has gone to shower. He is not feeling well. Getting a cold, I guess. That means I will be next. Oh no! We have four day trip planned in a week! Yucko!

Lolly said...

All our family and friends in Houston were having a ball today with the snow. That is great! When you don't get snow it is really a treat. I never saw snow until I was 19 and up here in college. I am originally from the Rio Grand Valley. That is 500 miles south of here.

Lolly said...

My turn to say Good night!

Sweet dreams! Prayers for healing, both physically and emotionally.

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Lolly!
Gosh, hope Jack feels better after a nice hot shower and a good night's sleep! Prayers for healing!
Don't you go getting a cold, either!

Gotta get my Hubby to do outside Christmas lights tomorrow. I'll help, but prefer that he climbs on the ladder. I hang onto it so it's not wobbly.

Ms Bookworm said...

Well, guess I'll say goodnight. Prayers being said for everyone, for healing and miracles! Sleep tight! The night light's on, the porch light's automatic, and the eye scanner is enabled. Anyone comes in late, please don't wake Judie by slamming the door--and please take off your shoes and tippy-toe in! Thanks! G'night,all!
God bless! :o]

Bird Girl said...

Howdy folks!

Baby baboons playing on Pete's Pond!

magpie said...

Good Morning Eagle Pals ☺

I think I see feetsie prints in the Valmont Owl cam site...

magpie said...

Special Prayers for our Judie...
I agree, a miracle, this is the season for it

magpie said...

Thanks, Wanda for posting Ed's memorial card -
it's a beautiful remembrance and verse

magpie said...

Well, it is snowing in Martinsburg West Virginia.....

magpie said...

I'm headed for sleep.
Be careful everyone if you have to travel on snowy roads.
Have a good day.

Good morning my fine eagle momsters and dadsters.

T-Bird said...

I'm looking at the jefferson cam in bluefield hoping we get some snow in bedford today. It is really coming down there.

T-Bird said...

I don't see any white stuff in our nest.

normabyrd said...

WHOA! T-BIRD----I think it is heading your way!!----Do you or BLUEFIELD SHARON have SLEDS!--ho!
What FUN!!

normabyrd said...

T-BIRD---MARGY posted earlier that it was snowing in MARTINSBURG at 7:00 am!

T-Bird said...

I saw that Normabyrd. Makes me wonder if the cam is up. ???

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Its so cold here. Snow in forecast for tomorrow and possible first winter storm on Tuesday night. Its winter and the eagles love it closer tot he dams when its cold and snowing. Snow makes gorgeous backdrop so I must get out all the gear that helps me to get near. I believe a trip to the dam is in the near future well a week or so away.

T-Bird said...

Do you see snow Normabyrd?

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' GLO!!---We are all singing----LET IT SNOW!--LET IT SNOW!---Bet SHIRLEY would like it snow on Mon. too!!---ho!

glo said...

well norma I think a trip through Romney to see out your kitchen window would be good. I could shoot some deer my way. Next to the eagle I think they are one of my favorite as far as beauty of an animal. They are near the top for sure. i did see lots of deer when I was at NCTC I know you folks sure have lots. Lots too many for anyones good but so beautiful.

stronghunter said...

Good morning!

So it is snowing in parts of WV. Just raining here now, but they are still saying snow. Forty degrees now. Forecast is for 1-3 inches.

I need to get some more bird seed. Can put out some suet when I am ready to brave the outdoors.


Just changed over to snow in Leesburg.

stronghunter said...

Funny pictures from Houston . . . people sledding on strange things on a trace of snow.

stronghunter said...

Lynn, I don't know what they will do about the SATs. It looks like there is freezing rain in some parts of Culpeper county now.

Mits said...

good morning everyone..have a good one:)

stronghunter said...

Just checked the SAT website. They have closings listed, but so far nothing at Culpeper. Most of the closings are in Texas. If the test is canceled, you have to schedule it for another day.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning beautiful people! We have about 3-4 inches of snow on the ground this morning and it is beautiful. There is a Christmas parade today and I am going to take Mattie and her friend Olivia. Nothing better than a Christmas parade in the snow!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morming in Eagleland

I woke up to snow here

I can't seem to get my wits about me this morning. So I'll try to get them together through you all.

I haven't read back. Any eagles at our nest this AM yet?

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' BEAUTIFUL DANA!---I haven't seen any EAGLES this am!---I have snow too!---It's beautiful--but don't want it to snow on the roads!! ho!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Yes, we are definitely missing a drummer!!!! The snow is still peppering down out there, so beautiful. The girls are already going out to go sleigh riding in the yard!!

stronghunter said...

I see that snow in the nest. It has not been there long.

Thought I saw snow in the distance--snow or fog.

Raining harder here. Some sleet mixed in with it.

I had them Norma at other house could just walk out on porch up to little step to fill.

Here I tried off the porch railing or near it so I didn't have to walk in grass (ground hard for me to walk on). They poop shooted all over the porch and Ed's and my chair. So we took them down.

SHIRLEY---Have you heard from JUDIE today?----Was you to check back with her Dr today!---I have here in my thoughts & prayers---GOD BLESS----

normabyrd said...

WHOA! DANA---I guess one should call them 'DIRTY BIRDS'---ho!--I know it wasn't funny then--but you made me LAUGH!

wvgal_dana said...

It was funny then too Norma. One of us would say "well we cleaned up yetesdays mess". "Today they are bomb baring us again". We would watch and laugh. But we both knew we had to sadly take feeder down. I am happy you LAUGHED cause we did too.
