Evening thread.
Thanks for sending me the picture of the owl. Hard for me to tell what the species is from the photo.
Could be a Great Horned, but could also be a Barred owl, which are very common around here. While owls might be a threat, they have always been around the Shepherdstown nest, and will continue to be. I think the threat is minimal.
Perhaps some of you will remember when a red tailed hawk, also very common around here, got too close to the nest when there were you in it. One of the adult eagles "took it out" in a very violent fashion, as witnessed by a couple of NCTC folks.

Thanks Steve for responding about our visitor and also for the new thread.
Hope your weekend seemed long for you!
Glo I thought you meant NBG nest. Have never seen an owl in NCTC nest. Hope it stays away.
Good night all.
just read about poor Jake, hope he feels better real soon, hate it when kids get sick:(
good night Ceil:)
I missed watching House tonight too, Thelma
Watching a new show on the History channel...The Pickers- kinda interesting, 2 guys travel around looking for antiques-some interesting stuff so far.
OOoh, I remember the red tailed hawk saga!
Just got home from a meeting and thinking about going to bed. Not feeling quite up to par today but this too shall pass!
Earlier I watch the Antique Road Show..
I came out to pc and started playing Solitaire...........
Paula & Wanda's computers are down
Most of our other Momsters have headed for the sheetz.......
I personally don't think the owl is a Great Horned. Too early for a young one and adults are like 18" tall, and the ear tufts are very prominent. I think this is either a barn owl or a screech owl. JMHO.
Sorry little Jake is so sick, Lynne.
Hope he's much better quickly and that little Kelsey doesn't come down with the same thing---and you, too!
It was a beautiful day today weather wise...
Oh yes, I don't need to go back to the Retina Specialist for another 6 months. Everything is staying good.
Boy with eyes dilated when we drove down RT 270 the red tail lights and the white headlights along with the overhead yellow highway lights I was in psychedelic heaven! They looked better than all the Christmas lights a month ago. Looked more like firecrackers. I really after a while had to close my eyes.
Lynn Sorry you lost the order of the slides. That was a lot of work - Wish they would have had that 'back to previous' arrow for you!
sounds like a nice trip, Jo:)...I love CB's meatloaf
Well Mits whenever you want to come up for lunch you holler! Us locals will meet up with you.
Sharon I hope you get feeling up to par real soon! Did Andrew have lots of pics to show you of his trip?
yeah, that would be great:), might be a nice place to look for Valentine gifts for the kids:)
Evening Everypne & Good Night tpo many, I guess.
Never got on here after work, so will have to check up on owl. Thought I had read most AM messages before noon.
Popped a big chuck roast in oven this afternoon & then stew type veggies~Yum. We're good to go for a couple.
There were NO animals at Chelsea amd the pond had refrozen, so all the geese were across road in a big field. No deets & pretty foxy didn't show. bummer I was only there 1 1/2 hrs. If I had thought of it, I should have gone to Conowingo today.
They have their Valentine's items out now. And their Easter ones too!
I am getting downright sleepy.
Not going to be much longer on here.
I have been checking on Lily...
I better check our nest for any owls!
great can knock off both holidays:), sitting here yawning...good night everyone.
Hi Loretta, Good night Loretta
Whoops! I didn't see you Loretta
Hi There.. The weather was great today so I guess all your animals were out and about.
I have 5 deer right outside my window right now! I so love that! There were 2 8-point bucks earlier.
Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feathers and fur!
Good Night Sharon, Ceil, Helen, Judie, Shirley, and soon, Mema...
Psychedelic Heaven huh? That should lead to some interesting dreams, Jo.
Yep, reminder again that Wanda's internet is down and Paula's computer modem is kaplooie...will miss their Good Nights....
Good to see new thread and Steve's take on the owl...I wasn't around for the Red-Tailed Hawk saga but I see that Sharon remembers it
I am also going down the hallway....
Good Night All
Peace to All and Prayers for All
((hugs)) ♥ ♥ ♥
Nice Eagle and Owl pics in the E-M album....thanks Jo and the photographers...that last owl shot is really a good one!
I forgot, son-in-law sent us his picture on the cover of biking magazine! It's the big travel bike
w/storage compartments. His prettiest one is darker blue w/lighter purple flames!
Won't be riding for awhile~~he has 2 week business trip to Wales, starting today.
Work in AM~~gotta do hair....
Duh--put the pic on blog
that's cool Loretta...I had just been over on your picture nook before you posted....
Home from cam club. The owl did have prominent ears So I don't think it was a barn owl. Because we are still adapting to the size of our eagles given the camera location its hard to say for sure how big it really was. But given where it was sitting kind of what we call the launch pad and from what I have seen of Lib and Belle down in the nest bowl area I would say it is a fairly good size bird. not sure the size difference between a screeech owl and a GHO. I so wish I had gotten that first picture but I did see the ears and the eyes. I had no doubt I was looking at an owl "with" ears. And he/she was looking at the camera.
I am glad to know they have been around the area for a while and haven't really caused any problems. Thats exactly how it needs to stay!!!!
I am still trying to get these pics in order........yawn!
Going to say goodnight and put fresher eyes on it tomorrow.
Sleep well, sweet friends. Prayers for all needs.
Glo, screech (sp?) owls are small. We have had lots of screech olws and have pictures we have taken. Gotta find that slide!
Hi Again, Glo...glad you were watching to get those pictures...
hope your evening was a good one.
I guess I am headed for bed soon too, so Good Night Eagle Pals...
and Eagle Pals' pets....
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥
night Lynn. The first tray of slides I did got messed up in the folder. I have those 140 slides to re arrange. Jack is going to project them for me and I will do the computer. More fun!
Nite all! Several have gone and I am now leaving. Time to shower and get ready for dream land.
Sweet dreams.
Missed you Paula and Wanda!
Is there a picture of the intruder owl??
I also missed the Red-tail hawk incident, I think.

We are starting to see more of our yard, rain is washing the snow away and our yard with it! We had a river running off the mountain behind our house the day before yesterday!!

SISSY---Just checked your BLUEFIELD site & it looks like most of your SNOW has melted!!----
We still have some in the yard, but the sun doesn't shine in this corner much in the winter, so we are the last to lose ours!! Still have a pretty good chunk of it in the driveway where Tom shoveled it.
Listening to NPR---REMINDS us!!--we need PRAYERS & MORE PRAYERS for HAITI!!---GOD BLESS!!
