magpie said...

almost looks like some feetsie prints in the nest at Finland...
wonder if the boats can travel those waters in the distance

magpie said...

Was just listening to the Eagles calling at Maine, and it reminded, me:
We heard a lot of that at Conowingo !!

magpie said...

Thanks for the new thread callover Norma, you are getting first place for that these days ☺

Mits said...

Margy I saw a boat at the end of the day, yesterday at Finland...could you ever get the Finland winter feeding ground cam?

magpie said...

kind of looks the nest cup at NCTC is a little more centered, if that is what I am seeing, thta would be nice

magpie said...

Well yes Helen I can, but I have been forgetting to do that! Thanks for the reminder.
I'm not keeping up too well these days!
Think I'll try to take a peek over there now....

magpie said...

Well Mits, I'm not much of a navigator and live won't open for me but I do see a still pic of a nice Magpie on one of the links

wvgal_dana said...

magpie said...

And that Magpie looks like this on the avatar, not sure what if I'm allowed to do that, so I'll go back to the other Magpie here soon.

Hi Dana...I missed them too, but I suspect they will make more visits today !

magpie said...

I'm timed out now, have lots of things to do this morning,
will see you Eagle People a little later one. I'll be watching for the Royal Pair or even just a Royal Single

Best wishes for a Good Day, hope Wellness Swells, and Good Things Abound.

Poe "Toaster" Fails To Appear For Birthday TributeBALTIMORE (AP) ―






Is a tradition nevermore?

The mysterious visitor to Edgar Allan Poe's grave has failed to show up for a birthday tribute to the legendary American writer.

For decades an unidentified person has left three roses and a half-bottle of cognac at Poe's grave at a church in downtown Baltimore.

Tuesday is the 201st anniversary of the writer's birth and some three dozen Poe fans waited all night with the curator of the Poe House and Museum for the visitor to arrive. Some traveled from as far as Illinois and Texas for the annual ritual.

At 5:30 a.m., curator Jeff Jerome emerged to announce that the mysterious visitor, who had always appeared between midnight and 5:30 a.m., never showed. He had no explanation why.

magpie said...

:(

magpie said...

those are big dark colored sticks being worked on

ceil said...

Think Lib was trying to move a stick and Belle was watching him.
Strange that the visitor did not show up at the Poe grave.

Mits said...

both eagles now at BWE

magpie said...

I was too timid to ask who was who, thanks Ceil !

magpie said...

I think there is some leftover food at 6:30 in the nest

whoops bye Liberty

Mits said...

yeah, that mysterious visitor has been doing it for years...maybe he passed away

magpie said...

Oh, two at BWE again!

ceil said...

Margy you can tell by the way she looks at him. I better get dressed and have things to do

ceil said...

Quote the Raven NEVERMORE

magpie said...

I keep trying to discern...think I would be better at that by now !
Thanks Ceil...

magpie said...

there might have just been HP between refreshes at BWE before they bailed, saw an awesome take off picture - will never know ...

magpie said...

Dana! Hope you are watching the Sycamore Palace

magpie said...

she's working on what Liberty started, with the sticks

magpie said...

taking some pictures will put in album shortly

magpie said...

seemed like that was about to happen, poof !

magpie said...

Well, guess Who and Who are Back !
NCTC

magpie said...

If Paula jumps on from work computer she might see them soon!

magpie said...

Whoosh there went Belle

magpie said...

Can't Wait for Live Feed!

magpie said...

oh well, will go post pictures now, nest is empty....

magpie said...

Shirley, Judie, Candy

Hope your School Days will be going well today, and everyday
(( Hugs for Teachers ♥ ♥ ♥ ))

magpie said...

OH for goodness sakes, an Eagle is back at NCTC- think it is Belle !

magpie said...

In and out and in and out...trying to make sure everyone gets a view, everyone with internet that is !

Lynne2 said...

Good sunny morning all...on the way to the low 50s again today...but then the spring tease is over.

I have, in addition to my usual sparrows, juncos, dove, finches, titmouse, chickadees, downy woodpeckers and jays, a flock of starlings this morning! I know most don't like them, they don't belong here, they are invasive, etc., but they are cool in their own way. The iridescence of their feathers is really showing up in the sunshine! Did you know they can be taught to talk?
And I had a lone red-winged blackbird one day recently...never see them this time of year at the feeder, and never just one. Usually get mobs of them for several days in the early spring at the feeders. But this one was all alone.

Mema Jo said...

Looks as though I am catching the
Tail End of a visit.
Good Morning All!

Lynne2 said...

Margy, looks like we have some ISS flyovers this week!

Lynne2 said...

Good one Jo!

Mema Jo said...

Oh My! My memory sucks! Poe - I knew there was a reason I was so restless last night - I missed my appointment!

Mits said...

shame on you Jo, everyone was waiting:)

magpie said...

Hi Lynne...
just got another virus alert so I have to scram...
Belle has been surveying the countryside for quite some time now.
I added pictures to album was going to review and edit but can't do that til later.
I have blue jays, mockingbird, titmouse, cardinals, and starlings here this morning. You are right, their feather colors are fascinating.
See you all later, I hope.
Not sure what's going on with this virus alert.
xoxo

magpie said...

Jo
- I might have too many pictures on album maybe some duplicates...will review them later on and fix if needed.
I had read an article about Poe and a relative this week have to go try to find that article again.

Hope to see you all later, need to find out what this virus thing is all about !!!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Margy, sometimes spyware gets on your computer, gives you a virus alert just so you will buy their program. Do you have Adaware or some kind of spyware scan on your computer?

Mema Jo said...

How is Lily this morning. Seems also that I kept dreaming about 'bears' throughout the night. But they were mean bears - running after me! lol
I outran them - clear down to the beach house attic!

Mits said...

think there has been a hummer hatching today for Phoebe

Mits said...

yes, little hummer is coming out of egg now.

Mits said...

HUMMER NEST

floralgirl said...

Morning all:) Lily is awake...
Margy, it sounds like your computer may have a fake virus alert like Sharon just mentoioned.

Mits said...

EAGLE back

Lynne2 said...

BABY HUMMER!!!!!

hedgie said...

Good morning all. Sprinkling rain here at the moment. And still quite chilly!

Mema Jo said...

Off for awhile - Jenny & Kristen are here for a visit.

BBL

Lynne2 said...

oh Margy I hope you didn't get that virus that almost got me....I got a pop up tab supposedly from Window that said there was a problem and click to fix, but when I did, something didn't seem right. I have a contract with Geek Squad and sure enough it was a virus, but since I caught it and didn't download anything, they were able to remove it for me.

That is sure something about Poe's visitor not showing this year. It's like the end of an era....we'll probably never know who it was.

Looks the the hummingbird chatters are also watching Lily!

Mits said...

lol...everyone is watching Lily, she is really alert right now

Mits said...

EAGLE still at nest

hedgie said...

Wow, so sad if the mysterious Poe visitor has passed away....you would think that he would have made some kind of legacy to pass to someone else to continue the tradition. That will surely be a major headline in The Sun, won't it?

hedgie said...

See that Agca, the jerk that shot Pope John Paul, was released from prison after serving 20 yrs. Argh!

Lynne2 said...

Interesting article on wintering butterflies from Audobon for anyone who doesn't use facebook, it was posted this morning

Butterflies

paula eagleholic said...

MOrning, all! See I missed some excitement last night!

Mits said...

I saw that Lynn, would not be surprised if he shoots someone else someday, Pope was shot the day our Dad died, May 13th 1981.

Mits said...

both eagle at BWE

magpie said...

sure can see the duct tape on the tree at our nest this morning.
okay, couldn't see eggs at hummer nest, guess I'll go check on the baby!
These alerts are coming from the Verizon program...so I am taking it kinda seriously...need to call them and have them explain it I guess.
Don't think I have a good spyware program though need to add that


I apreciate all the tips and suggestions...

xo

Mits said...

I got that once from what looked like Verizon too, Margy, it was a scam...

paula eagleholic said...

And visitors this morning!

paula eagleholic said...

Wonder if we will have Lily cubs soon? Keep me informed!

paula eagleholic said...

EAGLE ALERT!!

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Lib with a long thin stick.

2 eagles at BWE

magpie said...

at least is just says to restart to remove the virus, that's the easy part !
Thanks Helen
Hello Paula
Hello baby hummingbird, and there's Phoebe!

paula eagleholic said...

We need live feed!

Judie said...

Reason there was no visitor to Poe's grave last night was because Jo consumed half a bottle of cognac which caused her to fall asleep and dream of mean bears chasing her so she missed the TRAIN to Baltimore.

Good morning, everyone.

hedgie said...

Earthquake in Cayman Islands----5.8.....

Lynne2 said...

nestorations, our nest

magpie said...

and Hello NCTC Eagle, I think they are going to make LOTS of appearances today !

paula eagleholic said...

Lib still in the nest!

Howdy all!

magpie said...

working many parts of the nest today.

Lynne will check out that butterfly link a little later on, Thanks!
poring over the checkbook and bills now...

Mits said...

roflmbo, good one Judie

magpie said...

so I am not taking screen grabs now.

Hi Judie

Lynne2 said...

Saw that Lynn, and a 6.0 in Guatemala 2 days ago...that general area is certainly active right now. Not good.

magpie said...

about had heart failure, at first read Paula's post as
"We have live feed,"
then re-read it right:
We NEED Live feed...

hedgie said...

LoL, Judie! Jo opened herself up for that one!!! How are you doing??? Classes today?

Lynne2 said...

Judie, I heard too that they found instead a shining silver garland at the grave....

Mits said...

Both eagles at Pelican harbor

Lynne2 said...

ME TOO Margy...I got real excited for a second before I realized I read it wrong!

Lynne2 said...

Just heard a crow WAY TOO CLOSE to the hummers...

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Earthquake in Cayman Islands??? OMG< I am so grateful this is not last week!

And --- did somebody say TRAIN???? :)

magpie said...

See that ISS is coming this week, Lynne, thanks for the reminder, it's going to be low in the sky though...

Someone at the Poe grave is taking the time to Smell the Roses, maybe will bring them later

pics are up on album, decided to leave them all there

magpie said...

I said DRAIN -
the checkbook, Sharon...


TTFN you all have fun !

magpie said...

Oh real quick:
guy at grocery check out had a half gallon of half and half.
said he drinks 12 pots of coffee a day and goes through that half and half in 3 days.

Wonder if he works shift work !

xo

magpie said...

I missed the eagles at Pelican Harbor Helen :(

Mits said...

12 pots of coffee a day, wonder if he ever sleeps?

hedgie said...

Mits....have you been able to determine anything about Finney cam possibilities?? I haven't checked their chat line, but don't see anything on the old 2009 site that tells anything--at least not in English!

Mits said...

no Lynn, I have not, usually Finny cam comes back on in late March early April, will check it out when I get a chance, I have Goggle translate on my toolbar..

hedgie said...

Adoptions from Haiti are being fast-tracked.

hedgie said...

Thanks, Mits.
Sure glad we don't live in Finland!! That weather looks so brutal along the fjord.

hedgie said...

More news...Prez says if you are an illegal Haitian immigrant, you can stay here for 18 months w/o worry of being deported. But not letting any more come over.

magpie said...

92 yoa gal pal needs to go shopping, so does her chauffeur..

See you all later
TTFN xoxo

Mits said...

BOTH EAGLES

Lolly said...

Now that is the way to start the cam day...eagles!

Lolly said...

Both still there!

Lolly said...

poof one

Lolly said...

One still in the nest.

Lolly said...

Two again!

Lynne2 said...

awful lot of activity today....maybe eggs coming soon???

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Lily just put her claws right up to the camera!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

And our eagles are pretty daggone busy in that nest!

paula eagleholic said...

Love seeing Lib and Belle in the nest so often! Looks like Lib...

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Well, I been over there justa posting stuff!!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

What is Lily doing?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Saw something black down in the den, something small, but I don't hear anything.

Mema Jo said...

Just read back over comments before you got too far ahead of me. I really didn't like that cognac but the real problem was that all the flower shops were closed!

Lolly said...

How can I watch eagles and bears and the same time? Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Mema Jo said...

Sissy - the cubs won't be black. There like the pandas as it takes a while for their coloring to come in. They will be light colored - like hairless.

Mema Jo said...

Busy birds today! I wish we had the live feed also!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Oh, okay, Mema Jo. She was sure busy there for a minute. Thought for sure she had a baby!!! But now she is sacked back out, so I reckon not.

Mema Jo said...

BWE cam is going haywire
BWO cam is clear

Mema Jo said...

I hit refresh on BWE and it cleared up

paula eagleholic said...

Lib is in his favorite spot!

hedgie said...

Does the duct tape on our limb look like it's been disturbed to anyone or is it just me??

Mema Jo said...

Lily keeps opening and closing her one eye that is so visible.
Finally Off to sleep again.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Yes, she is outta here again! Must be a little warmer there, she has her head sticking out of the den. I saw snow flurries a while ago.

hedgie said...

Wind is really blowing the pine at Norfolk--MT nest.

hedgie said...

Looks like our egg cup is very well centered in nest, doesn't it?

Mits said...

I thought so too, Lynn, but what a great shot of the duct tape ;)....off to the DDS.

hedgie said...

Jo, giving you a heads up for your evening plans (in case you want to try another trip to Baltimore!!!): the CBS line-up tonight is all re-runs! ARGH!

hedgie said...

Ha,ha-----Mits, in Germantown there is a residential street called Eagles Nest Court! Wonder if there is a nest near there???

paula eagleholic said...

Lib poofed!

I think now the tape looks like straps....maybe they have strapped the wires to the trunk.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Eagle at NBG!!

hedgie said...

Hope your check-up goes well, Mits!
Bite down!!!

Mema Jo said...

Hedgie - thanks for the TV update - now what to do?

Costume Lady said...

Hello my friends...
My internet is up and running now:)
Don't know who it was harder on, me or Dustin. LOL
We are getting ready to take him back to his MOMMA now and will chat tonight. Hope you have had many sightings of OUR EAGLES.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Diego is in a tree! He seems so much more active than Luney was at that age. But, we didn't get to see Luney alot in the first year like we do Diego.

Lolly said...

Yea, Wanda....welcome back!

Finally had the time to go back over this morning's blog. Judie, you stated very well what I was thinking about Jo. Hitting the bottle, missing her annual Poe visit, and then dreaming about bears. The bears are really what kept her from her anniversary trip!

I can not get anything done. Lily was so active this morning and Lib and Belle have been there so much of the morning. They are not there now and Lily is asleep. So guess I better do my walking.

BBL

hedgie said...

Lunchtime....made egg salad this AM---it's been calling my name ever since!
And then back to putting the pics in order. Wish me luck.

Mema Jo said...

My Wild Earth TV link isn't getting up what I used to have. It gave me links to the different eagle's nests - Like Sidney and those. Now it saying it can't be found. Recently it also has Lily's link on it. Right now I want the eagles' nests.
Anyone still have it and is it working for you?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good luck Hedgie!

I know Lolly, I have been chasing bears and birds all day!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I lost everything when my computer crashed Jo. I can't be of any help to you at all! Sorry :(

Mema Jo said...

I found the Hancock site but that isn't what I was thinking about.
I guess I can get them all now......

Lunch time here.......

BBILW

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Oh Wow! Is our cam gone again?????

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Well, this is the pits!!!!!

magpie said...

Sissy - I'll zip an email off to Steve.

movin said...



************************

A GOOD RAINY DAY

TO YOU ALL FROM

SO CAL

************************

lOOKS like I got here just in time to catch the blue screen showing....

Does it look to you like one Hummingbird chick has hatched? One egg looks like it "might" be broken, but I'm not sure that's what it is.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Thanks Margy!!!

magpie said...

OKAY I JUST SENT AN EMAIL TO STEVE TO LET HIM KNOW THAT THE CAM SCREEN HAS GONE BLUE

Also, I told him we had been watching eagles in the nest all morning !

Good Afternoon where it's afternoon, and Hello where it is still morning.

magpie said...

Yes Jim, believe the chick hatched in the cover of darkness over night

magpie said...

I could not get the Sydney nest to open up last night, message said the live streaming was down, and there was something else that wouldn't open but I can't remember what it was

Mema Jo said...

BWE cam is still not visible as is ours not visible.....

Off to the bear..........

magpie said...

I have BWE...I think...looks okay right now, so far...

Going to hustle out the door soon to go visit with James....pick-up at school, and then maybe some Goodwilling...

Best wishes for the rest of the day to you, see you much later.

xo ☺ ♥

paula eagleholic said...

My cam is working...eagle sitting on the launchpad!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

YAY!! I am so glad it didn't stay down too long!! Thanks for the heads up Paula!!!

magpie said...

Oh Great!

Someone get pictures if you can, I have to go now..

Thanks Steve...fast work !!

Mits said...

EAGLES

Mits said...

still there.

Mits said...

poof belle

Lolly said...

i got pictures,Mits,did you?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Are you looking at the SD cam? Panda in a tree, makes it look like a feather bed!!

Mits said...

oops, no Lolly, I didn't:(

Mits said...

poff lib

Mema Jo said...

I got just one pic Lolly - It was at 2:24 - I'll fit it in after you place yours in the album.

Did Jack come home late last night or is it tonight, Lolly. I've lost some time!

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Steve for getting the Blue Screen out of the way.

Mits said...

BACK AGAIN

Mits said...

POOF

Mema Jo said...

The floor of our nest looks uncluttered now - like no sticks protruding!

Mema Jo said...

Our eagles are really in/out today.
I think that will be the pattern now until egg incubation begins.

The egg cup in BWE really is defined.

Mits said...

I love when Mei Xiang gets tired, she lays down eating bamboo

Mits said...

eagle at Hornby Island

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Good afternoon my eagle budlets!

Lolly said...

Jo, I added two. Thought I took 3 but could not find it.

Jack gets home some time tonight. Takes 5 hours and he has not left yet.

hedgie said...

I'm back.........I think I'm done!! Will play it through as a slideshow to doublecheck and then burn the DVD's and get in mail tomorrow to mom! A loving tribute to my Mom and Dad and Grandparents, even tho' Mom is the only one left to enjoy it. Good legacy for my girls, too, I guess.

Mits, you mentioned that your Dad passed away on the day the Pope was shot---double the bad memory. So sorry.

Lolly said...

Hi Sharon!!

Have to leave now. I am getting nothing done today. I should be outside. It is 67!!!Beaufiful!

BBL

Mits said...

hi Sharon....yeah Lynn a day to remember.....63° here.

Lynne2 said...

Lynn, I'm so glad you finished your project! Your mom will love it, not just for having it but for the effort and love with which you made it! You should post some of the pictures, I love lookiing at old pictures!

Lynne2 said...

Looks to me that they eagles have done some major building on the Delta nest, but the wide view is different this time.

Mits said...

lots of penguins out up in Baltimore

Mema Jo said...

Lynn you may as well burn a couple CD's while you're doing it. I know that you feel really great - it is quite an accomplishment!



Hello Sharon! You finished working for the day

hedgie said...

SD cam shows people with umbrellas, but Yun Zi is sleeping soundly on his branch......wonder if there is some kind of canopy over the yard.
