Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Thanks Normabyrd, our #1 eagle mom today and every day!

I said on the other thread that Lily is ready for her epidural now.

Lynne2 said...

sorry about your laptop Lolly....hope Jack can figure it out!

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---MITS--& WANDA!!---Our schools are closed here today---temp is 32°--Roads can't be too bad---Paper Person delivered paper!!..and that's a good thing...

Lolly said...

I am so frustrated I can not get on Lily. Thanks Sharon, but it will not work for me.

Mits said...

Lily yawning and licking

Lolly said...

Thank you, but none of the links are working. I guess there are too many people on.

Excuse me while I go cry!

Mits said...

rofl...someone just said Lily looks like ALF, and she does.

Lisa said...

Hi guys,

As you may have heard, the other day I went to the National Zoo to say goodbye to Tai Shan. I put together a video of the visit, and thought you might like to see it -- especially if you can't see Tai before he leaves for China.

The video is high quality, so it's a bit large -- 26MB. Here's the link. I'll leave it up for a little while:

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' LOLLY--SHARON & LYNN2!!--Hey! I remember when TAI'S MOMMA gave birth---WOW!--That little 'teenie--tiny' bear just shot out!!---EXCITING THING TO SEE!!

normabyrd said...

WHOA LISA!!---I think I LOVE YA!---Thanks!!

Costume Lady said...

Mits said...

Hi Lisa, thanks, Lisa, egg in view BWE

Costume Lady said...

Lisa's video won't come through for me:(

hedgie said...

Thanks for new thread and callover.
Dana, since losing her job at the bank, Carolyn has been working for John Orem. He has a bailbond business and real estate--primarily buys foreclosed homes, rehabs and resells, or manages them for the banks that hold mortgages. A real loser, for sure.

hedgie said...

Bear.org gift shop site is down for maintenance-----guess too many people looking to see if Lily shirts are posted!!

Mits said...

thanks Lisa, that was a great video of Tai Shan, alot of times when he comes inside, he turns his back on the people, you were lucky:)

hedgie said...

Oh, shucks....lost out on Cher's Hawaii home...sold at auction for $8.7 mill!!

Costume Lady said...

Lisa is such a good friend to us...we should get a ROAD TRIP up to visit Blackwater and make sure she will be there. Kinda like our trip to Patuxent, with Loretta leading the way.

normabyrd said...

LISA---I couldn't get your video---w/try later!!---ANXIOUS TO SEE IT!!

hedgie said...

Nope, can't get Lisa's video, either. Refuge page says it's not available.

Lolly said...

Well, Jack got my laptop back working. It was frozen up with a silver screen. Could not turn it off, so he unplugged it and removed the batter. Got back on when we restored power. Yea!

Also, finally got Lily up through the Wildearth site, but of course, I missed all the action.

What a way to start the day. A state of frustration and panic. I had to laugh. I got up about the same time as Lynne at 3:00. Checked on Lily. She was in hard labor then...she butted her head HARD up against the end of the den.Everyone on facebook was saying WOW!

Mits said...

I just copied and pasted Lisa's video in my browser, it comes up as a WMV.

wvgal_dana said...

Well I just got what Wanda mean't by "turn the page". I've been on the other thread. Waiting for an answer lol Don't lose me it will make me cry sniffle sniffle

Lolly said...

battery!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

I couldn't open Lisa's link either, froze up my computer! Had to reboot!

hedgie said...

AP Baltimore: Maryland state wildlife officials have propsed removing the bald eagle from the state list of endangered species. From a low of 44 breeding pairs in '77, they have rebounded to 390 pairs in 2004, so it could be over 500 now. The largest populations are in Dorchester nad Charles counties.

Mits said...

Dorchester is where Cambridge, MD is...:)

hedgie said...

Sure hope that taking them off the list doesn't mean that protection from being killed by hunters is removed..........

paula eagleholic said...

Mits, it did the same for my computer, but may have froze up since I have our cam on too...slows me down...will try later.

So no cubs yet for Lily?

paula eagleholic said...

Wanda - have been meaning to tell you how much I like you new eagle avatar!

Mits said...

that is a given, Lynn, they are still supposed to be protected, but we know there are still idiots out there that do stupid things.

Mits said...

ok I don't have the eagle cam on so maybe that is why it worked for me....

paula eagleholic said...

NO Hedgie, it doesn't...it's the same thing the FWS did sveral years ago...there are still protections in place.

wvgal_dana said...

Brought over from other thread: I now think that even with the hum and the lower setting for sound on the Lily cam. If she had a cub and it is anything like a panda cub with making noise. We would definetly hear it.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning friends!! Poor Lily, bless her heart!!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I missed our eagles this morning :(

hedgie said...

That was what I did, Mits...it went to the refuge homepage...but no video!

Lolly glad you got things straightened out. you must have had gremlins visit last night!

Dana---glad you found your way!

paula eagleholic said...

From BWE -

01/21/10:
Egg Alert!
As we mentioned earlier, we have our 1st egg of the season.

We also posted a new entry in our Eagle Cam Web Log that discusses our egg and our eagle parents.

hedgie said...

The link that Glo gave us yesterday of the magazine article that used her pic---it was a pdf----froze my puter up....couldn't advance to the page I needed!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DANA!!---When I checked on this am--wasn't sure of what to do!!---I have been spending time in dentist chair!!!---The way things are going now--in a few mos---I might have better teeth....but no house! How is 'LITTLE MAN' today?---

paula eagleholic said...

Great info in the web log about the osprey cam...

wvgal_dana said...

I am too Hedgie sure was lonely :(

Are they letting school out early in our county Hedgie?

normabyrd said...

WHOA' LOLLY!!--Quit fussing'!!--You have JACK!!!!---why are you worrying about your PUTER???----ho!---(devil made me say it).....

wvgal_dana said...

Norma is on a ROLL !!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' SISSY!---I wondered where you were this am!---I attempted to read the blog----not sure I remember much of what I read!

Lolly said...

LOL Norma, I was just laughing at your comment about having better teeth...but no house. Read it out loud to Jack. Yeah...I got my guy.....but he is no black bear about to give birth!!!! lol

wvgal_dana said...

Norma Little Man is resting now. I know I'll have to take a panda nap sometime from being up with him.

He has lost 4 lbs since Ed passed. Due to me not giving him lots of treats. At least I hope that is why he lost that weight. Time will till.

Poor boy is still so lonely for Ed.

wvgal_dana said...

The URL Lisa put up shows it ends in a # 1

when I copy it it shows
http://www.refugewatach.org/video/Taishan

Is that what your played in WMP Mits?

Lolly said...

Dana, did he need to loose the weight?

wvgal_dana said...

Yes he did Lolly.

normabyrd said...

DANA!--Did the vet tell you that is to be expected?---I would think it would be---we will all probably feel better when the SUN starts shining!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Mema Jo the blueberry beagle was good. I have to say, "Not as good as the cinnamon". I hope that don't cause a fortune. I must go to that place and get me one. No other cinnamon thing is taking its place.

glo said...

Glad you tried to go see the article and the picture Hedgie sorry it wouldn't let you advance to the page. It has so much info in there aobut how all this endangered and threatened species info comes to pass not only with our eagles but all living things of various species etc.

Lynne2 said...

What a beautiful video Lisa! Thanks for sharing with us!

wvgal_dana said...

Norma everything Ed ate meals at table he gave Little Man something. Then he had his own meanls. Later at night as Ed snack he shared his snacks with Little Man plus what he gave him when he went out and came in from using bathroom. He had been overweight and Vet talked with Ed and he was put on a diet and fewer snacks which Ed did. Although still shared snacks with him. So I was expecting him to have lost some.
He is eating his meal I put down in AM within a 20 minute period. Then his evening meal the same. With only 1 snack at night. Which of course he is mad at me about. Cause he doesn't get all that inbetween and all those snacks.

Lynne2 said...

From FB:

Lily the Black Bear Techs at www.bear.org are working to resolve a concurrent user limit that seems to be an issue. We hope to have it resolved soon.

Wow, they sure are doing a great job at trying to keep everything running for us!!

normabyrd said...

CRAZY PIC of S-DIEGO!!---One can view the top of his 'adorable head'---& that's about it!!---

Lynne2 said...

Dana, you could give him little bits of carrots....most dogs LOVE carrots! Not fattening. BUT, I caution....only a slice or 2 at first...it will be upping his fiber intake with could cause a bit of diarrhea if he has too much too soon.
I know it's hard to look at those eyes and be strong, but it's so much healthier for him to not be overweight.

hedgie said...

Glo, if you could post the link again, please, I will try it on the PC instead of the netbook and see if it works better! Would like to read it for sure.

Don't know about schools, Dana. Sounded like some kids never got there!

wvgal_dana said...

Lynne2 he will only eat a small piece of cooked carrot. lol Won't touch the raw no matter how you cut or slice it.

Lolly said...

Dana, sounds like you are doing well with him. He will be much healthier. Yes, try the carrots. Bless his heart...he loved his daddy and those extra treats!

Lolly said...

Well, he is like a spoiled child that does not want his veggies! lol

glo said...

I put Dex on skinless boneless chicken breasts for snacks. When I fix it fo rme I fix a whole one for him and then cut it up and freeze it. Then just thaw a few pieces out at a time. He gets very few over the counter dog treats now at all. Changed that when I still had Daphne and she needed special diet. When all the dog treats left the chicken came out. You can buy them at Walmart like 12 big breast to a package and thaw only one or two to cook at a time. He loves his chicken. Hedgie I will repost the link.

wvgal_dana said...

Mits maybe you can send Lisa's link in an email and we can open it that way.

glo said...

My Bald Eagle photo from Rock Island Arsenal published in Army study on Threatened and Endangered Species" Page 11 of book but comes up on 13 as the pdf reads.

glo said...

Hope that works. Not going to try to open it while I am watching Lily though.

Mema Jo said...

Good morning all! Very busy in here today and I love that feeling of warmth being with all of you.
I just watched Lisa's video - She and others will cherish that for a long time.
I haven't tried the cams yet - I've been reading your comments.
Can't believe it is Friday so soon.
Time does go by very fast while trying to keep up with all these cams.

glo said...

LOL Lily has a spider with her too. Facebook fans have named her Charlotte :-)

Mema Jo said...

I was checking out Moose cam and can see 2 of the 13 moose napping in the snow. Pook has even posted for her moose viewers the Black Bear cam.
The cyber word gets around very fast!

Mema Jo said...

12,886 viewers on Lily
The cam did come up WOW
Think I'll concentrate on the eagle cams for now and await word on any cubs through one of you or FB.

paula eagleholic said...

My dogs normally just get dry biscuits for treat! They also like their carrots cooked! I do have some of those jerky treats that my friend gave me, but they don't get those very oftern...too high in sugar!

Mema Jo said...

lol Glo - I guess they don't know about Spidey

Mits said...

I'm on the PIX cam of Lily and they have 26,309 viewers...

Lynne2 said...

oh yes Glo....try little pieces of baked or boiled chicken Dana...not too fattening and healthy.

I must say, after reading about how msot dog food is made.....EEWWWWW. Nasty business. I'm switching Daisy over to better food.

stronghunter said...

Hi everyone,

I have a few minutes to make some comments.

First of all, Jo, I did get your phone message and I really appreciate the information and your thoughtfulness. Thank you.

I am going to talk with Will this weekend about getting our network back up and running. If he needs to buy new parts, so be it.
This shutdown is inerfering with my birdwatching, social networking, bill-paying, and with my job. It's amazing how much we depend on our computers. I actually had to use the phone book the other day.

I will have to get more techincal help. I have lost Microsoft Word. It will have to be re-installed. I can't print because my computer does not talk to the printer. I am supposed to produce handouts for all of my new students by Wednesday, and I have to miss Tuesday for a doctor's appointment.

When they told me that they were going to reformat my disk, I didn't think about the fact that I would lose all of the links on my favorites list. Eventually, I will need help with that. Can't think about it now. I had so many web cams on there. We spent the evening before I turned in the computer copying all of my pictues onto disks. The tech people would have saved my documents, but there is a limit to what they will save.

I will not be able to access my Yahoo e-mail account until I can get online at home. I have given my work e-mail to Helen and Margy at different times in the past, and you all are welcome to contact me through that address if you need to. I probably have hundreds of new messages by now.

It is too bad there are people in this world who get pleasure out of sending viruses to destroy other people's stuff, if that is what happened. We still have not found one, but whatever happened made a terrible mess.

I will try to read some messages later. In the meantime, hello and good morning.

Mema Jo said...

Our Momster, Gwen Furse, whom you may have seen on Facebook is celebrating her b-day today and she is visiting down in Atlanta.

Happy Birthday Gwen - enjoy your day

Mits said...

Hi Shirley, was going to email you, but knew you were down...and you would not get it....so many people I know are having puter problems...

Lynne2 said...

OK, someone needs to write a book about this blog. Really. What a great story it makes!!! There is already a title...who said it?

"I Came for the Eagles, I Stayed for the Friends"

Mits said...

Dana I just copied and pasted exactly what Lisa had posted up above.....got to run some errands...ttyl

hedgie said...

Snow plow just came through----a lot of noise pushing slush!

Lynne2 said...

Shirley, that's a mess, how awful. I've always said that if people who created these viruses would use the knowledge for good, what a world it would be.

Mema Jo said...

Shirley (don't think you will see this)
I think I should turn off your Momster emails (Yahoo) until you are up/running. I'll give you a call.


The valley is still getting some precip! Tomorrow is the birthday bash here at the house for hubby. It is being put on (homemade dishes) by his daughters.

Mema Jo said...

Watch your step out there Mits.

hedgie said...

Thanks, Glo!!!

Just had a nice conversation with Miss Norma! She had some good suggestions for Carolyn in her job-seeking efforts that I need to pass along. She's a sweetheart. And she has insisted on sharing the cost of mailing the calendars with me, even tho' I tried to talk her out of it! So thank Norma, too!!

Mema Jo said...

13,475 on WildEarth.TV
26,309 PIX

So what do we do - add them and what
a grand total that would be watching
Lily. I thought they were both WildEarth. Anyway we know there are
enough viewers to put the system down.

stronghunter said...

Jo, go ahead and turn it off. I would never get through it all.

Just got an e-mail from the tech person who can help me. She will not be available until Tuesday and I won't be here then. Oh well. I will have to manage somehow. I only have two new classes. Maybe this will seem funny at some point.

Mema Jo said...

Hopefully by tomorrow the sun or warmer temps will have the sleet/snow in our nest disappearing.

hedgie said...

Dana, when they first put Cinnamon on a diet----when they were all insisting that she was a miniature, which turned out not to be true---they said to give her canned green beans (unsalted) as a snack. No cooking. And she,to this day, loves green beans!!

Lynne2 said...

I think Lily is having contractions

Mema Jo said...

I'm thinking that a second egg at BWE could come today.
I best go over to the early am thread and read comments - I'm taking a chance of repeating things already discussed.......

BBILW

stronghunter said...

We've had mostly cold rain here. I saw a little snow/sleet in the grass in Culpeper.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

WOW Glo!! How cool is that!!!

stronghunter said...

Must go get lunch. I have a duty and must rearrange my room for 3rd block exam.

Will try to check back later.

Thanks for the kind words.

Mema Jo said...

WOWSIE Lord Blackwater is up to his old tricks - look at the sprig of pine on Lady Blackwater's back !

I think I have ID'd them correctly -
at least it know a sprig of pine when
I see it. They did this last season!
I just love it!

hedgie said...

No problem with the pdf doc this time, Glo. Saved it to my puter to read at my leisure. But great to see your pic and the credit for it.

Shirley!!! Good to see you. What a mess....so sorry. Hope Will gets things straightened out at home so you can get on there, too!

Jo, Gwen from SC, the doctor/farmers' wife???
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GWEN!!

glo said...

OK Hedgie I do thank Norma too. And yes I so agree she is a sweetheart.

Mema Jo said...

Message from Gwen about b-day card:
Thank you so much Jo. How beautiful. I'm in Atlanta with my husband who is attending a meeting. Gave a program on my favorite eagles yesterday at garden club. Love Ya, Gwen

wvgal_dana said...

I'm heading for a panda nap bbl

magpie said...

Oh thanks for the birthday reminder, Jo - have't been to E-M yahooos for a couple of days to check....


Happy Birthday Gwen, Hope it is your Best, Ever !

magpie said...

Great Video by Wanda and Gene on the Conowingo trip, on her Wild and Wonderful link....really captures a lot of the passion from that trip!

I agree, road trip to Blackwater when Lisa can be there with us!

magpie said...

So good to hear from Shirley!
Sounds like a complicated computer mess...sure miss you Shirley...!!

hedgie said...

Encouraging news from Lisa about the osprey cam. Jo, sprig of pine is by her head now!

magpie said...

and thanks to Norma for what she is helping Lynn out with regarding the calendars....

hedgie said...

14000+ Lily viewers on bear.org! No problem getting cam live.

hedgie said...

Diane Von Furstenburg is on The View....she's aging well!

magpie said...

I want to go up to Berkeley Springs and I don't want to go out in the weather yet...so I think a Panda Nap is in order

Good to see everyone, will check out Lisa's Zoo link later...and the Blackwater website so informative !

TTFN xo ...later....

Mema Jo said...

Almost time for Alexis and family to
board the silver bird and be on their way to Disney World.She was so excited when I saw her last evening.

hedgie said...

BTW----please say a prayer for our Chrissy. When she went for her root canal work Tues., dentist found a crumbling molar. When he tried to pull it, it broke apart. She's in pain, on meds, waiting for an apptmt. with an oral surgeon.

hedgie said...

LOL----I'm still on papers---finishing with the cartoons. All the talk about feeding the dogs: Fred Bassett is sitting up and the guy says "Do you want your dinner, Fred?" Fred's return thought is: "Hazard a guess."
And then Marmaduke has a cookbook in his mouth; Guy says "Marm's idea of a good bedtime story is a beef stew recipe."

Lynne2 said...

thank you Norma! and thanks again, Lynn!

hedgie said...

Margy, not so sure you should attempt that trip...there are wrecks everywhere. Poles down....please stay in!

Lynne2 said...

CONTRACTIONS

Lynne2 said...

her head is in lower left corner, butt to camera, she's licking in between legs

magpie said...

Oh the egg at BWE !!

magpie said...

Okay so I pulled a Margy...
good advice Lynn....might just stay under the covers when I get there...



Yes, prayers for Chrissy...thanks for letting us know Lynn...

Okay guess I'll go peek at Lily...

Lolly said...

I've got a yellow-bellied sapsucker out here! First time that I've noticed one. It's a good bit smaller than the flickers. There's a bird party going on. Lots of noise!! Titmice, juncos, wrens....all chirping and singing and some fighting.

Lynne2 said...

she looks like a pretzel, poor thing

Lynne2 said...

i hear small noises but I think it's her

magpie said...

egg no eagle at BWE

think Lily cam is not going to open for me

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I personally think that Lily is trying to push a baby out!

Lynne2 said...

I thinks she's still pushing....she's huffing. I don't hear a baby yet...wouldn't she be cleaning it if she just gave birth?

hedgie said...

OMG...really? A cub???

Lynne2 said...

Margy someone on the FB page suggested this link

Feed is working on

paula eagleholic said...

She's nearly standing on her head

Mema Jo said...

I think I waited too late to open Lily
I had it earlier but closed it down

Keep me advised - Cub or not?

paula eagleholic said...

I've got it on the www.bear.org site

hedgie said...

No luck getting cam open. OVer 17000 viewers showing,so no big surprize.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

OMG, I am going to go nuts watching this poor bear and there is an eagle in the nest!

magpie said...

There is an Eagle at OUR NEST

make that two !!!

paula eagleholic said...

LOrd BW is eggsitting now.

Yup, look for second egg today or tomorrow at BWE

Lynne2 said...

wwwaaaaaa....I have to go to the bathroom :( I don't want to miss anything!

glo said...

Don't forget to breather Deep cleansing breaths :-)

Judie said...

Good almost afternoon.

Exhausted last night and fell asleep right after dinner. Hope my light didn't keep everyone awake.

Lynn, I am sorry about Carolyn losing her job and hope she finds a new and improved one quickly.

Lynne, glad the tumor is non-malignant and relatively small. Hugs to all.

Shirley, worst luck with computer. Can Geeks on Wheels help sooner than Tuesday? May be worth a bit of money to have your work/social life back. Miss you!

Good wishes for Chrissy and her broken tooth. Hope she gets an appt. very soon -- like today.

Dana, Little Man is doing fine. He just needs to have you near to feel the love.

Tried to check some cams. Lily is squirming around, NBG busy rearranging fluff (soon?), LB sitting pretty, NCTC MT last look.

Rainy and grey here.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagles or bear eagles or bear...decisions!

Bear is resting...

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

In between contractions now I think. She is standing on her head. And we have 2 eagles in our nest.

hedgie said...

That link keeps saying Cannot find server, Lynne. Boo....

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Lord have mercy, I can't get nothing done! I think she is starting to have contractions again! I pray she is not in any kind of distress with this baby!!!

Mema Jo said...

Funny comment from viewer on FB

Mema Jo said...

They are back and busy......
Really paying attention to the egg cup

magpie said...

Both our Eagles are back

paula eagleholic said...

Eagles back at our nest!

DJ said...

I'd just like to say how grateful I am for all the work that has gone into getting the live feed back up. It is simply wonderful!

Several people in my office watched this (probably too much), last year, but we came in when the chick was pretty big.

I was wondering if anyone could give me some info about how big that nest is? It must be pretty big, since both the adults can land in it and walk around. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

And again, thanks to all who make this happen!

paula eagleholic said...

Working on fluff and a stick in our nest

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is clearing the nest of any nestovers.

Mema Jo said...

They really are ripping up some of those long branches .....


Hi DJ Are you watching the Live Feed

Lynne2 said...

here a stick there a stick everywhere a stick stick

welcome DJ!

Mema Jo said...

I thought that was going to happen
Belle flew out.......

paula eagleholic said...

Cool, did you see her snapping off twigs! Off she went, to upper left

Lynne2 said...

I'll leave the nest question to one of the more experienced eagle watchers here.....but it is BIG!!

Mema Jo said...

Lily the Black Bear:
Lily appears to be resting up for another round. More action to come -- and she's in a great position just now! about a minute ago

Mema Jo said...

Poof went Lib.........

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

DJ, the nest is about 4 feet wide and 2 feet thick, about 80 feet up in a sycamore tree!

Lynne2 said...

we have a new guest who has a question about the size of the nest....DJ
Read back a few posts

paula eagleholic said...

DJ - that nest is about 7 ft long as we see it on the cam, Noon to 6 position and 4-5 ft across - 9 to 3 position.

Lynne2 said...

oops, thanks Sharon!

Lynne2 said...

and Paula!!

Mits said...

Some nests can reach up to 10 feet across and weigh up to 2000 pounds.


From the eagle fact sheet right under the cam

paula eagleholic said...

Hang on DJ, I'm looking for a reference picture

Mema Jo said...

Better yet Paula - I heard her snapping off twigs.

DJ not ignoring your question We are engrossed in watching 2 or 3 cams all at once.
Lily the Black Bear in MN about ready to give birth in her den

Our Eagles and also Blackwater Eagles at Cambridge MD
http://www.friendsofblackwater.org/camhtm2.html
They already have their 1st egg
Our NCTC/FWS eagles should be laying their first egg within the week.

stronghunter said...

When did the live feed come on?

Mits said...

I think Wednesday, Shirley

glo said...

My heart is so pounding

Lynne2 said...

shoot,she moved and now her back is to the camera

DJ said...

Thanks all for the info. Yes, I am watching the live feed. Last year, my brother and I had almost a 24-hour round the clock watch for the little one's first flight.

Lynne2 said...

she's contracting again....

paula eagleholic said...

DJ- this link should take you to some side view pics of the nest I took last year...good reference for size....scroll down a bit to June and May

Blog post from 2009

glo said...

She is so alone in pain. Just her, her Creator and the life "s" within here waiting and working very hard.
