Wow....2nd wave of plungers were canceled due to extreme cold and a bunch of people were treated for hypothermia from the first bunch. Water temp was 36.

eaglecamfan said...

Thanks Hedgie just went to that sight i see its a still image with reload, thx again for the Help..Mark

stronghunter said...

Brrrrr! Good reason to call off the plunge. Surely everyone can just pretend they did it and donations can be made anyway. Would not want someone to end up sick.

stronghunter said...

Just called Kathryn and told her that she can bring Hunter here if he dosn't have school tomorrow. I think Will does not work tomorrow. He can play in the snow with Hunter. I'll watch.

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, Shirley, your turn. I have to go to work tomorrow :)

Costume Lady said...

Glad to see our teachers getting to sleep in and enjoy a day off:)
Enjoy your evening and sleep late, Shirley! Wonder if Judie gets to sleep in too?

stronghunter said...

Hunter will be here by 6:30 AM! Of course, he can watch TV and let me snooze.

PA Nana said...

I'm back on the desktop. Yes, I do get 10 min. and then 30 seconds and I have to hit the play button each time on the live cam. Just being a grouch (read b#@%!) today.

I DO love the live feed with sound and heard Lib make that growl/grunt before the hp, but was just wondering if there is a way to keep up the live cam a bit longer so I don't miss the egg laying.

Mema Jo said...

None of us have found any way to keep the live cam running any longer than the 10min30sec before we need to say 'ok' and then hit the play button.

Paula may be posing that question to Outdoor .

floralgirl said...

They aren't gonna change it, many cams do it, so if someone has walked away and isn't watching anymore, they are not using bandwidth. It's expensive to run the cams, and many sites do this. The bear.org cam does this.
Grin and bear it, and keep hitting play:)
It's a great feed so far this year, the sound is the best we've ever had.

Costume Lady said...

At the risk of sounding indelicate, I caught a photo of our pair just seconds after that last HP and it shows the position that Belle takes when HP occurs. Something I have not seen before...I found it very interesting and informative. On my WILD AND WONDERFUL and Momsters Album.

Mema Jo said...

I know the purpose of the cut off as far as saving bandwidth and I agree.

I think the concern is: "Why do we need to hit play after we answer the question of Are you still watching with a YES"

magpie said...

Great pictures, Wanda...


I squealed wheels to get home and then squealed wheels reading the blog posts...

Whee doggy, lots of visits but empty nest now....

Hello Everyone ☺

magpie said...

BWE and BWO nests both stuck, eagle nest at 1743 and Osprey nest at 1746
:(

Well, Lisa said that might happen...

magpie said...

And Congratulations Norfolk Eagles !

floralgirl said...

Yeah, I don't know why it doesn't keep running after you say yes. After a while, I have to refresh the whole page to get it running again.

magpie said...

Well no one has to worry about my using too much bandwidth.... confirmed I do not have enough memory on this computer for the new live cam

So maybe a trip to buy some new memory gizmo this week

WOOF !!!

Mema Jo said...

Moose cam is still running.

Hi Margy -You be careful skidding around out there --- You know about
black ice better than most!

floralgirl said...

Berkeley, Jefferson, and Morgan county, wv all on 2 hour delay tomorrow. Lucky...

magpie said...

Wanda...
had to laugh! Indelicate! On here? Are you crazy ??

Never !

Hey, where is Lolly ??

magpie said...

Yep, Mema...I will be careful, I'm getting too old to get laid up!

Spring Birdwatching and Wildflower season just around the corner !

Mema Jo said...

I sure hope Belle comes back to the nest tonight and does her thing !!!

Hedgie - I didn't catch that on Ch 4 about the Plunge. Hypothermia would be my biggest concern for all those fearless Polar Bear plungers. My gd was to go with the 3:00 group - I am sure their promised donations will be made even if they weren't allowed in the water.......

magpie said...

I didn't get home in time to watch the Ch 4 show, well, it took me too long to get to that comment or I might have seen it

Thanks for the tip Hedgie....
I have to work on the 13th is that the Shuttle launch date? Also have to work on the 15th
:(
AND VALENTINE'S DAY :(

Mema Jo said...

Margy I thought Hedgie and Mits were talking about the 7th for the shuttle.
I could be 100% wrong..but they were saying that half time at the Super Bowl could have great entertainment with the launch

magpie said...

Time to squeal my wheels into my pj's...
had enough of these street clothes

stronghunter said...

Jo, my eagle cam still says it is 9 degrees. Odd.

magpie said...

how about these longer days!

Mema Jo said...

I think it is Moose #12 at the feeder on Pook's cam. There were others but now only this one is in view. He lowers himself by bending his front legs in order to reach the feed bin.

hedgie said...

Jo is right, Margy....launch is scheduled for Sun. the 7th.at 4:39 AM!!!

hedgie said...

Let's hope for clear skies that night/morning so that we can see it!

Mema Jo said...

Now come on Shirley - lol - On mine it is still 1°
I get a correct temp on other zip codes. I think it just wants to aggravate me.

Hello!!!! I just got a brief ad and video of scenery when I turned on our Live Feed. What's with that?

Mema Jo said...

May be a moose fight over the feed bin going to happen

hedgie said...

caveat from NCTC says that they have no control over advertising that appears on live cam!!

Mema Jo said...

May be Alfalfa on the cam now.

floralgirl said...

Yep, I just got that ad, too.

Mema Jo said...

Time for me to take a break

BBILW

Costume Lady said...

Thanks for your comment on my INDELICATE photo:) No one said anything and I was afraid I had offended some. I have been known to say things that I shouldn't. Tee Hee
That's just me!

floralgirl said...

It's just natural :) No offense taken here.

stronghunter said...

Wanda, I'm not offended. I just hope no one was offended with the "V" word the other day.

Costume Lady said...

OK, Jo. After reading your comment on my photo...I HAVE to say "Heads up, I win, tails up, YOU win;)"
You know I'm bad. LOL

magpie said...

That's part of your Tiger Charm, Wanda ☺

Thanks Hedgie, wrote it down, I am OFF that morning...

Oh the big Moose in the Snow, way cool, er, way COLD

Costume Lady said...

Shirley, we shouldn't be offended from hearing a word that we all have...except for our dadsters, and I'm not even going there!;)

magpie said...

Half a rack Moose that is...

I didn't get an ad on the NCTC Live feed, oh, I forgot, I don't have it on :(

Costume Lady said...

LMBO, Margy!

magpie said...

But my Still Cam is working GREAT!

Enjoy your day off tomorrow Shirley...that's a nice thought...did you see, Paula says it's your turn to watch the nest ! ☺

Costume Lady said...

Capt. is all alone with a warm fire, I'd better join him. The fire is in the FIREPLACE!

magpie said...

Think I am going to retire for a few with an overdue library book about Flamingos, and my computer manual....and maybe some ice cream.
with chocolate sauce.


back in a little while

stronghunter said...

Going to snooze in the recliner.

Mema Jo said...

Comment over on VDGIF/NBG:
Some have asked if the female would wait until better weather conditions to lay her first egg - unfortunately once the process has begun and an egg has entered the female's oviduct there is no stopping it.

Judie said...

Goodnight, everyone. Pleasant eagle dreams for all.

paula eagleholic said...

Yuk, don't like the ad, at least it's not very long...

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle is calling

paula eagleholic said...

Got an email message from NBG around 3:30 today with a nice pic of parents in nest with egg

Dear Paula,


The first egg of 2010 has arrived! The egg was laid around 2:15 pm on Sunday, January 31. The adults will now begin incubating this egg, which should hatch in around 37 days.

Mema Jo said...

9:00 movie on TV

BBL

magpie said...

Blackwater cams are running okay again

I can actually get live feed pretty good here right now for NCTC...
miracle of miracles
spidey strands and all :)

PA Nana said...

Evening to those still here. I left for supper and went back to the laptop and now I'm back on the desktop.

Guess I'll put up with refreshing the cam often but wish once you say yes, they'd keep you on. Maybe all the bugs aren't worked out yet. Hope I don't miss the egg tomorrow ,Tuesday, Wednesday, or ... this is why I don't play the lottery - never win.

Was able to Skype with Teresa, hubby Bob, Max and Jared (#1), They showd me the snow they have and word has it that it's the most in 20 years. Now that doesn't sound like a lot to us up here in PA, but she's closer to the ocean/bay. Jared has a week's break from school so he'll entertain his little brother and get on mom's nerves.

About to log off for the night I have PT tomorrow after lunch and am tired of all the testosterone here.

See yas tomorrow. Good night, God bless!

ceil said...

Good evening all. Ben is baptized and he was good. Going to say good night and pleasant dreams. Congrats to NBG

magpie said...

Wonderful to hear about Ben's Baptism....of course he was very good !
Think of the company he was keeping...

I can't keep my eyelids open...

Good Night Everyone
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥

Costume Lady said...

Nite Margy.

Now with Ben's baptism, there is another little angel on earth:)

hedgie said...

Poor Diann...empty nest takes on a whole new meaning when they come back home, doesn't it?? So sorry you are feeling overwhelmed with too much manhood. Hope your PT is going well---good excuse to get out of the house.
Goodnight to you, Margy, Ceil and Judie. Hope Shirley doesn't stay in the recliner all night!

Costume Lady said...

WAKE UP SHIRLEY!! It's your turn to watch the nest:):)

Costume Lady said...

That was a good movie...Hallmark, I believe. With Adin Quinn and America Ferrara.

I'm headed for bed...lots to do tomorrow.
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
BLESSINGS FOR OUR LITTLEST ANGEL

hedgie said...

Good night, Wanda! I'm right behind you. Nest is still MT...wonder what our mama bird is doing tonight? Maybe enjoying one last night of freedom??
See you fine fowl friends tomorrow.
Prayers.

Lolly said...

Helllloooooo!! This Grandmommy has returned! Boy, those boys do take up all your time. We went to church, then after lunch I took them shopping. Joseph needed new jeans and slacks for church. Gotta put a brick on that boys head! He is 9, had to buy 14 slim!! Bought Jacob a new shirt, he is 5 and wears 7 and 8's. We do not have little boys!

After we got back home we played games and then it was time to take them home. We just got home!

See where NBG has an egg. Also, see where Lib and Belle brought in new fluff. Smart birds!

Lolly said...

Laurel got a lot done without the boys. She bought groceries, cleaned house, and they went out last night. Then today she woke up feeling bad. She now is sick with a cold.

Then to top that off a little student she had last year died this afternoon...cancer. She got the phone call when we were there. Lots of tears shed...did not help her head.

You never stop hurting when your child hurts....even when they are adults.

Mema Jo said...

Going down the hallway and our nest is
still MT.
Shirley - Hunter is going to be getting you up from the recliner at
6:30 am if George doesn't do it first!

Good Night All
Restful sleep and Pleasant dreams
Prayers for everyone's needs/wants
Thank you for all our blessings of this day

((((hugs)))) ♥ ♥ ♥

Mema Jo said...

I'll be back at midnight!

Lolly said...

Thanks for the pictures taken today. Larada, loved the egg pic taken at NBG. Very eggciting! Liked your picture, too, Wanda! Of course we might have to start monitoring you...what you say and what pics you post. lol

paula eagleholic said...

I finally remember to email the Outdoor Channel about the timer issue and got this response tonight

Hi Paula

Thanks for the response. Yes, we’re aware of the issue with the time-out on the EagleCam. That’s on the to-do list.

Thank you.

Webmaster
Outdoor Channel

Mema Jo said...

Good to hear that Outdoor is so responsive when you email them with a concern, Paula.

stronghunter said...

Passing through. Nest is empty. Not too much snow there, either.

Happy birthday, Glo and Zach.

Guess I slept through my nest-watching duty, but is seems that no egg was laid.

No, I have not been in the recliner all of this time.

Kathryn called last night to say that Tom will be home today, so Hunter will stay with him. Kathryn needs to go to work early today because auto body shops get very busy in this kind of weather.

Now says it's 25 degrees at the nest.

stronghunter said...

. . . it seems that no egg was laid.

stronghunter said...

I see that I have a message from my online course. I'll open it later today. Maybe I can get a good start tomorrow.

stronghunter said...

Heading back to bed. George is going to be disappointed. He thinks it is breakfast time.

magpie said...

taking a peek, don't see any eagles at the Royal Nest

Mits said...

Good Monday morning everyone...have a good one and have a good week.

Mits said...

I have a BIG imagination sometimes


Good Morning to you and the Captain ! ♥

Mits said...

message from Finland nest....

1/2/2010: Seili transmission lines have been cut off on Friday evening. Repair estimate has not been submitted yet, but hope for the best.

magpie said...

Thanks Mits....
hope they can afford to fix it

Costume Lady said...

IMAGINATION is a wonderful thing:)

Mits said...

it takes time sometimes, Margy, but they usually fix it....big sea eagle was at the Finland winter feeding ground earlier today

Costume Lady said...

Helen, did Kevin get to PLUNGE? We heard that the second group of plungers was canceled.

normabyrd said...

WHOA!---Will miss the FINNY site!----ho!---I noticed it was BLACK this am!!

Mits said...

yes Wanda, Maggies Mounties got to plunge, they were at 1, and everyone was fine, all went back to their house for pizza, some even spent the night because of the snow, so they had a full house and they had to get ready for the Baptism, don't know how they do it, but they did:)

magpie said...

Will go check the other Finland site, Helen, thanks.

PIX PA is off air right now


added some morning pics with Wanda's on the new Feb album ☺

magpie said...

that sounds fun, Mits...the Sleepovers !

have to disappear for a bit

Best Wishes for a Good Day everyone...watch the slippery surfaces

normabyrd said...

MITS--I was wondering how long the folks stayed in the water??----did they close it early?---

magpie said...

WELL EAGLES ARE BACK

normabyrd said...

WOW! MITS---Makes me wish I were young---again!!---GREAT FUN!!

Mits said...

they did the 1 o'clock plunge, but not the 3 o'clock plunge, Norma.

Mits said...

eating something????

magpie said...

I guess there was a food delivery in there somewhere

Lynne2 said...

Good morning all! Sunny and 11.7 degrees this morning....BRRRRRRR Snow on the way 1-3" overnight....bigger storm on the way for the weekend again.

VERY SLIPPERY this morning so be careful outside!!

Happy Birthday Glo!

Happy Birthday to Lolly's Zach!

Jungle Jack Hanna will be on Good Morning America (ABC) this morning!

BAD DAISY ate a hole in the corner of a Friendship Quilt my friend Joan made for me. No idea how she got it off the back of the rocker, or why she did it because she's not prone to doing that sort of thing. UGH

Mits said...

looked like a fish tail just got eaten

hedgie said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR GLO,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!
May you have many more!

Happy Birthday to Master Zach, too!


Good morning all!

Mits said...

poof, took what was left with her.

movin said...

Is anyone else getting a "can't play video" message on the live feed?


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

Mits said...

I'm not, Jim.

Mits said...

just watched Belle, inhale a fish

glo said...

Good morning everyone.
Thanks for all the Birthday wishes I have a Birthday wish too Lib and Belle. :-) Hope everyone has a good day. I will eat a piece of cake for each of you LOL.

Off to coffee and dog treats soon.

magpie said...

Hi Glo and also, Dex !! And you get an extra hour more than us East Coasters do for that wish to come true !!

hedgie said...

Lynne, so sorry about the quilt. If you can't repair it yourself, check out local quilting clubs---they should be able to help you. Bad dog, Daisy!

magpie said...

Morning Hedgie Lynn2 and Jim...and everyone else

I didn't get the message Jim, wonder of wonders....

bbs

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' LYNNE2 & HEDGIE!!---How old is DAISY?---

magpie said...

Guess Daisy still has a lot of PUP in her, Lynne...

TTFN xo

magpie said...

Shirley

looks like you will have a lot of help watching the nest today...

Enjoy your day off.....don't work too hard.... ☺ ♥

normabyrd said...

They need a lot of attention---if she is a pup---She will do that for attention!!

Costume Lady said...

Does anyone besides me think that the nest is awfully messy? Just doesn't look ready.

stronghunter said...

Good morning!

Margy, Hunter is home with his Dad today. Kathryn called last night to say Tom is off work today.

floralgirl said...

Jim, when you get that message, you just have to refresh the whole page.

Mits said...

rofl, Wanda, I was thinking the same thing, out of all the eagle cams I watch, they are the messiest, they keep a nest like most ospreys. I think it is just them, not very neat housekeepers

normabyrd said...

I CAN'T wait to SEE & HEAR the EAGLETS on this new site!!---I bet it will blow our minds!!--ho!

Costume Lady said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR ILLINOIS EAGLE LADY. Hope she gives us a present of lots of photos today:)
I would like a glass of milk with my cake, GLO:)

Costume Lady said...

And a BIG Happy Birthday to little Zach...who is not so little anymore. All of Lolly's grandsons are growing up before our eyes:)

normabyrd said...

WHOA WANDA!---Compared to my 'PAD'----their nest looks GOOD!!

Lynne2 said...

wow, that is some incredible closeup at NBG

Lynne2 said...

Jack Hanna is on with baby animals!

Mits said...

wow....that is a great pic at NBG:)

normabyrd said...

MOVIN'JIM!---I wish we could get better pics of S-DIEGO!---I really miss seeing him!

normabyrd said...

SISSY---I pray you are feeling better on this MONDAY am!!---I will keep you in my thoughts!!!
