Good morning. Is this egg day????
I am heading to go get my van! YAY!
cool, are you going to paint pandas and Train on it?
GOOD MORNIN' SHARON!!---I think it may be!!---WHOA!---Are you getting a new van??---COOL!
Thanks MITS!---have been waiting for you call over!!
SHARON--What's the temp in VA this am?
Good morning friends!
I see that MT nest...
Need to read morning comments...
Looks very cold outside - I haven't stuck my nose out yet.
Any new on Norfolk nest? Egg/no egg?
Lady Jo, I strongly suggest you keep your nose INSIDE!!! It is too cold for you to breathe in that air! Me, too, but I don't have any choice!!
Morning, all!
Finally got to peek in on the nest with an eagle in it this morning from home....looks really good on the new laptop! Sound is really nice, could hear Belle crunching around in the fluff!
I'm at work now....nest is MT
MORNIN' JO!--The temp has gone all the way up to 17° here in this part of WV!!---I threw my sweats in the dryer before putting them on!--one would say it's a COOL am1!
Well our nest is empty but has more fluff. Norfolk nest has one eagle standing guard above, no update on their blog.
Going to see "Avatar" today, finally! Better take my Dramamine now...
Have a great day everyone :)
Morning Everyone!
Just checked NBG & their VDGIF site said eagle spent last night somewhere else!!???? Jim & I saw her after 12-1AM. Maybe she left later?!
One in nest now & other on branch.
BIRD GIRL--Let us know if you enjoy the movie! ho!
Exactly why I didn't see Avatar, Bird Girl:) Kid went with friends.
I think Sharon should paint pictures of pandas looking out through van windows. Enjoy, Sharon.
No egg at NBG this am at 7:30. Both there rearranging fluff.
Norma I love your idea of warming up those morning clothes to put on when it is soooooo cold! I can remember in the early years of my life sitting in front of the coal stove and doing warming up my clothes before I got dressed.
Sharon I am confident you will have a "Blue Van" avatar by this afternoon!
Proud of you and maybe some day I can get a ride in it with all 4 dogs! lol
MORNIN' LOWREEDA! What are your thoughts that BELLE will lay an EGG today?
I need to check out Judy's List to see when NBG's first egg was last year and in what order BWE, NBG, and NCTC's eggs occurred.
WOW JO!--It's WONDERFUL that SHARON is getting a new VAN!!---
Dunedin Osprey chicks should be hatching in the next week or so...
MEMA JO---forgot to mention that you can check the FINNY site!! ho!
Fubby saw Tai on TV this AM.
Super Alert~~~saw MR. Yellow-bellied Sapsucker for 1st time this year.
Will work on pics soon.
if our weather is going to be as bad as every weather person is predicting----i think it best we all take some food--head to bed---then just stay under the covers....
She may lay, but I wish they'd wait 'til after snow! However, BWE did really well last year covering those eggs. Mom turned white if I remember!
I didn't hear shots. Was that this AM?????For shame. I thought the dates were NOT set for end of Jan.
Here's Paula!! Missed you last evening---bet you had a hot date!
I thought Finney cam didn't come on until March.
Guess you mean the Finland Ferry cam?!
I don't think I'm watching Finney nest this year~~~way too much drama.
LORETTA---I thought everyone knew---that's a joke I play with JO!----A while back she mentioned--she wished to get up early enough to see FINNY'S snow!!---The site is stuck & hasn't changed for a few wks!!--ho!
NFL says it owns 'WHO DAT' & others cannot use it on sweat shirt, etc----
MEGAN---I think you & I owe the NFL some money!!---ho!
Yeah, well good luck to them collecting it from me, Norma.
OH NO! HEDGIE---Think PAULA had a 'hot computer' last night!!---ho!
And, the NFL has opened a real can of worms claiming ownership...
SO, WHO DAT!
I checked out Judy's list on egg laying for last year and it was BWE then NCTC then NBG.
Both NCTC and NBG gals look more than ready!
Belle could honor Megan by laying the 1st egg tomorrow the 30th!
Norma I saw that the snow was starting to melt in the waters at Finland. That was such a beautiful sight!
I have a 12:30 appointment so I best head for my street clothes.. Maybe I'll warm them up first. Going to wear
my hat for sure!
MEGAN---I think that is too funny!
Norma, Finland is working fine---it was only down for a weekend recently. But little to no action that I've seen. Think Mits caught a sight of a hood ie there last week. Still with lots of snow!
Eagle is back!
Now both
you know what is going to happen;)
Bet there will be lots of street dudes who will now claim that they coined WHO's DAT---gimme a break.
She is soooooo comfy!
I can't believe it, he is ignoring her
yeah who dat has been around for awhile.
well Lib left...
she sure does...
Actually, Who Dat has been around a long time, and it seems the NFL only now is claiming it becasue they see $$$ to be made. They didn't gaive a crap when the Saints were losing...
Hopefully Lib went for lunch...
BAck with a log for the nest!
Nope no lunch
Just a big stick......
Good morning! Have caught up on the blog and now watching our eagles. She is sitting in that comfy nest. I have always worried, what's an eagle to do if egg laying time comes and there is inches of snow on the nest? Think she should sit there and keep a spot snowless!!!
NFL does not give a crap about anyone...jmho
she has been through bad weather before...eagles do what an eagle has to do:)
yikes look out for the stick
poof Lib
36 here and we have had 3 inches of rain. Still predicting "freezing rain" this afternoon.
She is so pretty sitting there.
They better anchor down that stick.
Now maybe he went for her lunch.
Just put live cam on & both were there!Didn't have still open so saved that one. Now only one.
I wrote a question to VDGIF about their comment that eagle did not spend night in nest. Maybe they meant not Entire night. I thought of saving a pic, but they always seem to have some.
What do you thing? Egg tonight or tomorrow?
BTW, I think Sharon should call her van the Panda Express & perhaps go to the Zoo next Wed., if Helen will be there!!!
Saw Tai on late NBC AM news--what a rolly poly he's become ☺
Hi Larada? Is Austin getting rain? Have you talked with them yesterday or today?
Loretta, this was posted on their site and this blog the other day....
Overnight Jan 25/26 in Nest
For the first time this eagle nesting season, the female adult spent the night in their nest at Norfolk Botanical Garden. Both adults were observed at 1:00am arriving at the nest by Rose, a devoted viewer. The male left shortly thereafter, but the female remained in the nest until about 6:35. This is usually an indication that the female is very close to laying her first egg of the breeding season
Like that! Panda Express!
:) sounds like a Chinese restaurant....
Oh Lolly - whenever Belle thinks it's time. Can't outguess her - Let's just say very soon! I hope she'll hit Megan's b-day! the 30th
they are testing out a new chat right next to the cam at NBG
I wonder if our provider answered Paula's question about clicking on "YES" that you are still watching and then only being give 30 secs and making it necessary to click the PLAY button again. Aggravating.......
I am out of here
Will dress warm...... Hat & gloves
BBILW
NORMA.....Jack is a fixin me a great breakfast. We stayed up late last night, both of us reading. Then we slept really late. Passed up a good breakfast last Friday, but today we are having a delicious Brunch. Jack is in the kitchen cooking away and it is smelling good. Yummy!
We are no longer showing as being in ANY kind of snow area.....MTBR! Forecasts can change quickly.
Belle looks settled in again.
"Talked" to Suz----she seems pleased with her new job. She can even telecommute, so will be getting her internet going at home this weekend!! Perfect timing!!
weather for NBG nest....
Winter Storm Warning in effect from 7 PM this evening to 1 am EST Sunday...
Today
Mostly cloudy. Highs in the mid 30s. North winds 10 to 15 mph.

yucky:(
NBG eagle in nest does not seem to be sitting low like Belle.
Will Suz be able to blog?
more sticks..
Lib brought lunch! What a good spouse he is!
Mits....Donnie Simpson has been there for 32 years----doesn't seem possible! Don't know what kind of format they have now, but always listened to it until about 10 years ago!
Thought he was going to clobber her with that stick. He did manage to disturb her and chase her away. Poof Belle! Now he is going to take care of that egg cup.
Did he bring food or just a stick?I didn't see food.
Nope, no lunch, just another stick.
Suz got a new job? Great!
Thanks, that's what I thought.
Belle poofed, Lib still there
Suz, will also be able to work from home sometimes, but no blogging for her....
yes, Lynn Donnie has been around a long time.....nice voice:)
But, if she is getting the internet set up at home, can't she get on in the evenings?
So, I am back and am now the proud owner of a 1996 Ford Windstar Van. I love it. Have already been to the DMV for tags and title. Have to work for a little while and then I will go get it inspected!
Yea, Sharon! You will have to post a picture of you behind the wheel of this Panda Express.
Breakfast is served! I am so spoiled. Love it!
BBL
No AMEN for that forecast, eh? Sounds bad. Also don't think Sharon should try to head to Bluefield, either.
yeah not unless the Panda Express has snow tires or chains
glad you got your wheels Sharon,.
Hello, I am new to this Blogging, I just wanted to say I have been Eagle watching since last year, I live near the river and wanted to know if anyone knows if you can see the nest from Dam 4 on the Maryland side and if so just exactly where I would look, this is so exciting I love watching the still camera can't see the live shots from work.
eggs in view BWE
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Good Morning, Everyone
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Hi Humin! Welcome to the friendliest blog ever! No, you can not see it. It is on the campus of NCTC, and to see it you have to be on the campus.
Mornin Jim!
Paula, I answered Humin's question correctly, right?
Humin...I am in Texas, but have been to the nest.
Welcome, Huminbird. No, nest can't be seen from the river. It is on the campus of NCTC, which is near the river, but it is closer to the road coming out of Shepherdstown than to the river side of the campus. The road is the one that goes to the Steamboat Run and Terrapin Neck areas, not the one that crosses the river.
Glad you got the van, Sharon!!
Mits, is Suz' computer one from work? Guess that would bar her from blogging.
But, of course, you can probably see/watch them fishing along the river at any time! We don't know how far afield they do, but Dam #4 is probably within their territory.
Did you see Liberty-Belle bonding a minute ago??
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Video of Lily and Cub
This is great! watch it to the end when you can see Lily covering the cub with bedding. So cool!
Re: Norfolk....
???
I guess last night was a trial for the female on the nest. She was there for a long time, and then when I checked at 1:30 PST, she was out of sight... either gone or behind the heavy branches to the left.
I shut down and went to bed not long after that.
Any news this A.M.??
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Nope, Jim, missed it that time!
Jim, I wrote VDGIL because their comment said she didn't spend night & we saw her at least until 1:30. Steve Living wrote back & said the Update was from TH AM & she did not spend Wed.night there. He said he was aware she spent TH night, but hadn't posted that yet.
I got my AMs & PMs confused.
Pretty close up at NBG.
I have done nothing today. Think I will go get beautiful and then do a little house work. Going to the movies at 3. We do not do movies, but I want to see Avatar. Mentioned it to Jack and he was agreeable. Wowee!
BBL
Thanks, Naturenut.
I often wonder how they fly into and out of the nests in the middle of the night if they can't see any better than we can in the dark....
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Eagle in the nest
flew out
Just returned from appointment and also was able to catch up with gs and Alexis for lunch.
Need to read what has been going on for the past 2 hours.....
I see Belle is in the egg cup
Well check that out.... I see Belle just LEFT the egg cup. lol
Kids are back from Disney already? Bet Alexis was full of fun stuff to tell!!
Hedgie - I think that going places and seeing new things at Disney non stop did her in. When the scrapbook is made or photos are shown online - then she will be more talkative! She was more interested in those french fries!
Sharon I saw your beautiful blue van on FB. That is the prettiest Blue!
Needs an eagle flying on the side of it!
Yep, Jo, guess at that age the thrills are more short-term memory....pics will remind her and get her talking!!
Congrats on the van, Sharon!
Congratulations, Sharon. Happy van days to you.
I agree Jo. Alexis is probably just all tuckered out.
Welcome Humminbird.
Lolly, did you find some new church-going shoes?
Ooops, timer just went off so into the kitchen. Need to watch Lilly & cub video -- thanks in advance, Lolly.
Yes, Welcome Humminbird!!
Double eagle alert!
Both eagles are in the nest.
HP!
Wow that was some serious HP...finally got the whole thing on video tee hee
HP
Well I am losing track for today and yesterday, and probably Wed on the # of times we observed mating, I know it's been at least 2 per day
Poof
My cam stopped and when I restarted Belle was gone.
Eagle back
Looks like Belle has a fish..did Lib bring it?
OH my bad, Lib brought it, Belle just flew in and is now eating.
Geesh that fish was gone in a heartbeat!
And so are the eagles
Next report: I got 2 new tires, oil change, new wipers and then took it for an inspection sticker and it passed. They said the brakes looked almost new on it! YAY!
Nice close up at NBG
Good news, Sharon.
NBG eagle appears to be laying in the nest.
Eagle up
Was just resting in the bowl...
NBG out on the branch.
Cam has such nice quality and color...too bad they don't have sound!
2 purty eggs at BWE in view
I forgot to mention that today I saw
a huge flock of robin red breasts. I mean a very large flock of them. I was down in Frederick parking at my appointment and whamo they flew in to some low trees right by me. They were all very plump!
Sharon - did you get VA or WV tags?
I got VA tags but I still have my WV driver's license. Not ready to go that far yet.
Off to UNO's....
BBILW
Both on the branch at NBG
Both our nest
Ooops only one now....Belle is eating again!
Fish is gone!
She was molding the egg cupt with her breast.
channel 11 baltimore has plunge on maybe Maggie now
they are so great....but watching this is NOT helping me feel warm while the HEAT IS NOT WORKING AGAIN!
Heading home, see you fine people later!
OH, going to be on at 5:30 I think that's when she'll be on
OH no Lynne!
Belle still standing in the egg cup
Storm tracking further north.......now saying 4-8" for Shirley's area...but still saying Trace-2" for our area. NBG, hold off!! Belle...well, we would rather you'd wait, but it would probably be okay if you decide now is the time!
Lynne, did you call for the kid to come fix the furnace again?? You and Sissy and Chrissy are having a rough time this winter :(
Listening to weather report. Early memories for me also include warming jammies on the radiator before bedtime.
NBG pair look lovely. One of the commentors named DGIF seemed quite adamant about NOT naming the pair stating they are wild animals and are NOT pets. I guess the professionals (DGIF) don't know how much fun it is to be an eagle momster or dadster.
Spaghetti and meatballs tonight with salad and garlic bread. Sauce made, salad ready.
Haven't seen anything on the local DC news about The Plunge -- it would be nice to see Maggie. I truly hope it will be a huge success.
Can actually see that some of the grasses in the nest are green!
Hi everyone. Just checking in and see that an eagle is sitting/ standing? in the cup.
Will we have an egg before the groundhog sees his shadow??
Congrats Sharon on the van.
Will have to rewatch that video of the bear cub, got distracted. Thnx Lolly!
must check on supper now. Will try to continue to watch on the laptop.
... later
she's on
Oh dear, Lynne, so sorry your heat is not working. If you're going to get continued cold/snow, please stay bundled up and call that guy to come fit the problem NOW.
May have missed a post but has anyone heard from Glo and Dex?
Back to the kitchen. Hope Jo enjoys Uno.
Poof! MT nest
great story!
landlord fixed heat, switch didn't work but heat back on now... for good I hope!
Both back in nest
Didn't see them fly in, but there is some food . Eating
Poof! Both flew out
Just got on via laptop and they both arrive. Yipee!
Looks like they're getting ready for finale.
Poof - not yet
From what Kevin (Mits' son) says, the Maggie spot should be on the web sometime this weekend. Here is the link:
Baltimore Ch. 11
Spaghetti sounds good, Judie...I was planning that for tomorrow night! Great minds, as they say!
Nest MT again.
Judie, Glo posted yesterday that she got too upset by some of the sad posts, so she will observe and comment, but guess she's not going to read the blog.
I don't think we are going to see the Moon/Mars conjunction tonight.
Diann, we are sure hoping for an egg before Groundhog Day! Did you hear that PETA wants them to use a robotic groundhog????
Stepped out on the back porch and saw a hazy full moon. Still an awesome sight! But I didn't howl .. ;o)
Looked at the bear video again. Just caught a little sight of the cub but it sure was loud! Just like my own babies were. Sure glad they're grown!! Thanx again Lolly.
Maggie's tv appearance:)
Lynn, saw that about Puxatawny Phil and had to laugh!! that groundhog has a better life than dogs, though I think it's the only live one hereabouts.
Maggie is a little doll!
Agreed! She is just adorable:)
Megan, (((hugs))), thanks for posting the video:).
Ditto to Megan, thanks for posting that link for Maggie and the Family, I was at work watching the clock move ever so slowly
What a beautiful family...
great little video clip ☺ ♥
Megan that you so much for the coverage of Maggie, our littlest eaglet
The Kalis family was well presented!
Those super plungers are "gluttons for punishment". One dip would do just fine! All my applause to all participants for all the money they earn for all those little angels.
I don't have any oatmeal creme pies...knew I forgot something important for nest-watching
Moon is very large but all hazy.
I'll keep checking just in case in shines through
Used to scootch up to the woodstove back in the day to warm up, half burned the threads on bibs back then, no wonder they grew holes in the seat
Also used to melt crayons on radiators, now THAT was FUN, but my mother didn't think so highly of it
Howdy all Momsters and Dadsters !
I am in awe of these plungers, it is a very emotional day. they are angels for during this:)God bless them all....
You dress warm tomorrow Helen...
sure it will be GREAT DAY followed by a Great Occasion on Sunday for Ben too....☺ ♥
He will be the holiest person in the church after baptism !
thanks, Margy, will do....
Congrats to Sharon...don't know why I thought that van was going to be RED....
fun to get "new wheels"
by the way, there is a restaurant in Berkeley Springs called
The Panda Restaurant
Hi! Home from the movie. Loved it! I said earlier, we do not go to moview, only rarely. We both enjoyed Avatar!
Oh, Megan, thank you for posting that video. Maggie is precious, but I feel like I have met the whole wonderful family. Mits, I know you are so very proud.
First thing I did was check the nest. No eagle. Come on Belle!
Paula, you said you got another video of the HP?
off to get warm it the tub.
Happy Friday to everyone that applies to, doesn't much apply to me this week-end
TTFN xo
If anyone gets a video from the news on folks doing the plunge....would love to see it. Was just sharing with Jack how darling Maggie is and telling him all about the plunge.
It is 32 here now and at the moment no precipitation. When we came out of the theatre, I think we were having a little freezing rain. Something, anyway.
I'm watching an 8:00 TV show
BBILW
WBAL did a very nice job on that piece,,,,she is adorable. :)
Hi, everyone!
I'm relaxing in the recliner. I have been checking in on the blog and the camera when I can. The new semester is keeping me busy. I have two new groups of seniors to work with. I still have two groups of juniors who will stay with me all year, and there is a lot to do.
Lolly, I finished Coyote Daily...did I say that yesterday?
I feel bad about Glo....I hope she doesn't stay away. I hate these things too, but I am well aware of how each person processes emotions. I will see her on FB I guess.
Mits, Maggie was adorable! Glad Megan posted the link!
Off to shower and reading. Working on "It's Me or the Dog. How to Have the Perfect Pet" by Victoria Stillwell. Love her show on Animal Planet....and those techniques work!!! Then I have a book called "Flyaway" by Suzie Gilbert to read also. About a housewife who becomes a wild bird rehab-er. Looks really good!
WOW, I had a Hairy, and Downey and a Redbellied woodpeckers all at the same time at my feeder this afternoon!! I tried so hard to sneak up and get a picture but those Hairy and RB's are so suspicious!
Have a good evening everyone, in case I don't get back tonight. Prayers for you all and for the PLUNGERS as well!
Loved the Maggie story. She is precious.
LOL I was wondering why my screen looked so dim...was running off the battery...plugged it in and it lit up the room!
I did get a video of the HP, just posted it to the em blog
http://eagletmomsters.blogspot.com/
I am not liking the sound on any of my videos...think I need to find a new recording program....so the sound is off...
Good evening everyone. It has been a busy day and of course tomorrow and Sunday will be busy and then Monday is soup and sandwich. So I will be saying good night and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEGAN a few hours ahead. Pleasant dreams to all
Judie, I saw the story about the Anne Frank incident in the Culpeper paper this morning, but I have just skimmed it at this point. I think the "V" word shows up in the book--vagina. (I hope I can say that on here.) I will look at it again. It's an eighth grade book, so it is at the middle school.
I just Googled the Anne Frank thing, and goodness, It is in the Washington Post and all over the place. I have known Jim Allen for years. He was an English teacher before he became an administrator. I think he has his hands full on this one.
I think the Anne Frank book is on the poster of banned books I have on the wall in my classroom. Ironic.
I also want to say an early Happy Birthday, Megan. I hope you enjoy your special day.
Thanks Lynn. I now recall Glo's comments but didn't realize how serious. I do hope she will be back.
By the way, Lynn, glad you have heat again.
Goodnight, Ceil.
Helen, enjoy tomorrow and wishing great success. Maggie is one adorable angel. Stay warm.
Precipitation moon out there. Just wish it wouldn't be snow at the nests.
check weather at espn cam
