Welcome online Hedgie! I wish Ceil or Helen were here - Here are a few..... St. Anthony, St. Anthony Please come down Something is lost And can't be found.... or Dear St. Anthony, I pray Bring it back, without delay. .... or Something's lost and can't be found Please, St. Anthony, look around.
Some of the family is coming over on short notice for dinner... I best start clearing my table of the all important papers called clutter..... I'm still keeping an eye on Belle.
Checked out the zoo to make sure Mits didn't find any red pandas to view.
Paula - I agree that Belle at the egg cup is acting very suspicious. But now we know that early am hours is when that egg comes..... Sure could be wrong. I wish that she would MOVE IT so we at least would know what is going on.
Hi everyone, I see we have 2 new viewers - welcome!
As a relatively newbie, myself this is a great place to blog. The people are great and as someone once said, "I came for the eagles, but stayed for the friends."
I hate to leav e with so much action/inaction at the nest cup, but life goes on .. later
Hi Everyone! Got home from the Largo Ledo's. When girl checked computer for my order she said, "Larada"! Pretty close.
TH weather here is supposed to be 50°+, but Sat. the high is 24° & SNOW!! Of course it's my Sat. to work! BTW, I haven't been on here much lately, but Fubby said there was flooding in S'town! Anyone affected? Hope everyone's OK.
Loretta, think the river crested at flood stage at S'town, but haven't heard of any serious problems. Normal high water/ low road closures there as well as here, but no evacuations or anything that I have heard of. River levels were supposed to have been going down by yesterday morning.
Gotta eat-- soup, I guess. Last night I ddid some serious chopping & made Red's Black-eyed pea soup!Yum! Waited til I got home for pain pill & it's almost naptime!!
I was going to sign that guy up for the polar bear plunge. Harbor flooded the other day also. Lynn did you find the papers. Jo you did a great job with the St. Anthony prayer
Thx Lynn. It's not that bad, but I think gum opened & it's a little sore. That's why I'm so mad I have to give up the tooth. It's not at all like one of those puffed out jaws or anything. But I'm glad I went~~I've learned the hard way to get help ASAP. Once I didn't call him because it was his day off & he said call me anyway, I can get you on meds. That was the first time I had the swollen jaw & didn't sleep all night! Never again.
Forgot to tell you guys that the Park area made the news yesterday.An oil truck coming down Croom Airport Rd. flipped over, lost the tank & all the kerosene (news said)spilled!Two retired men came in to get fishing licenses & said they were right there and called 911.It's a straight part of road, but his wheels went off the road into the soft shoulder & when he tried to get back up on road, it flipped.Road closed for 2 days while Hazmat cleans up the mess. Luckily there are 2 roads that form a long block on each side of spill, so can get around area.
Paula, I didn't eat it yet! I'm going to have soup first & maybe a hamburger. Got the big Italian one w/House dressing. We can share it! OH, other news~~~girl in there said our replacement Ledo's in Forestville should open in March & much bigger!!They are taking over old Chinese place!!!! In time to celebrate a chick?????
Hi Larada!! Going to take me a while to get used to that one. I like Loweeda!
Well, Jack and I had a great evening,. I worked for a couple of hours in the yard, mostly in my herb garden. Have a lot of leaves in there and had to cut back a lot of thyme and oregano. Sure smelled good working there!
BUT,then we had a glass of wine (Jack had a beer) on the back pati0. Then we moved to the front patio and had another glass. It was wonderful sitting out, not cool at all! Listened to the weather when we came in....we might miss the snow and ice after all. Several inches of rain are predicted! Yuk!
Larada, hope your poor mouth feels better soon. Didn't Norma have a tooth pulled today or yesterday?
Wow Ceil, that would have been some sight in person at Conowingo today! When we were there Steve said he'd never seen the water so low! Jo I am sure they had all the bells and whistle going! Glad you had such a nice dinner with family.
Here is the news video clip of the dog I mentioned found in a trash can. They operated on her leg last night...my friend Tracey is the one taping her IV in and is behind the surgery table doing the anesthesia. Dog in York
Larada, sorry your mouth is feeling so bad. I hope the meds work. Maybe with a new name your tooth will get confused and stop hurting.
Is the Ledo the same as the pizza place?
Jo, glad you had a "quiet" visit for dinner.
Wow! Conowingo water was amazing. Wouldn't want to be in it's path. Wonder if the rushing water stirs up fish for the eagles?
Okay, Lolly, not fair. We're freezing around here. No patio sitting front or back.
Paula, thank you for asking. Horrible pain is gone from right leg. Still have swelling below the knee and a shoe doesn't feel good. But, can't complain since the pain is gone. Supposed to see the surgeon again in March to decide about the left leg. Strange thing is the right thigh feels weak when I walk to and from classes. Think maybe the big muscle in the thigh might be a bit atrophied. At least I haven't had to use the wheeled chariot. Grilled cheese was so good.
Off to watch some tv. Might be able to stay awake for Obama's pep rally. BBL
Sorry, Judie, I forgot! Sharon, please disregard my former post! ;o)
I'm ashamed to say that poor battered dog was found across the river from me - in York PA. We are not all heartless! I cry at the ASPCA commercials!
The Susquehanna is near or about to crest in Marietta, PA. It's starting to receed above us. Boy, did we have rain!!! Don't now why or how, but we didn't have water in the basement. whew!!!
well said my goodbyes to Tai Shan, I did not have myself on the schedule next week, jubby will be out of town, so I was planning a get away to the beach...was happy to see Tai's keeper tonight, who will be traveling with him when he goes home to China, it will be tough on her, but she, like the rest of us, are anxious for him to get his life started:)
What's going on here???? T words and B words? For shame!!!!
Paula, weatherman says all he has to be is off by 20 miles and we could possibly have snow and ice. Laurel is in Denton, north of the DFW area. We are approx. 15 miles south of Fort Worth.
Sorry, Judie....but it really was nice to be outside today. Good for the soul!!!!!!
Mits, I was feeling for you today. TOo bad you couldn't give that panda a big bear hug. Yep, you said the B word.....you know what Sharons' gonna say! Glad you are planning your getaway. And here I am, stuck on Getaway EVERY DAY!!
A bald eagle likely was struck by an airplane near Newport News-Williamsburg Airport.
It's being treated at the Wildlife Center of Virginia in Waynesboro, the organization that's caring for an eagle from Norfolk Botanical Garden that had Avian Pox.
"On January 20, we received a call that a Bald Eagle may have been hit near the airport. The next day, airport authorities indicated no eagle had been found," said Randy Huwa with the Wildlife Center of Virginia.
On Tuesday, however, airport officials contacted the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries about an injured bald eagle, said Huwa.
DGIF Conservation Police Officer George Wilson coordinated the recovery effort for the injured eagle.
The injured bird was located Tuesday and transported to the Animal Clinic and Wellness Center in Williamsburg, where it was examined and stabilized.
After being secured in a figure-eight bandage, the eagle was transported to the Waynesboro center Wednesday by DGIF biologist Susan Watson.
The eagle, believed to be a 7-8-year-old male, has an open fracture of a bone in its left wing.
"The greatest threat at this point is the risk of infection," Huwa stated.
Radiographs also raised concerns about a lung infection, so the eagle is receiving two different antibiotics and pain medications.
He'll be closely monitored over the next few days.
This is the fourth bald eagle admitted to the Waynesboro center so far this year.
According to the Web site birdstrike.org, 110 bald eagles have been struck by aircraft in the U.S. since 1990.
Stats compiled by the FAA show that 4 eagles have been struck by aircraft in Virinia since 2002. That includes previous male mate of the resident female at Norfolk Botanical Garden. At the time, those eagles nested at Norfolk International Airport.
DGIF biologist Stephen Living says eagles are less likely to be struck by aircraft than other types of birds such as gulls, which can gather in huge flocks urban areas.
Living says it's not possible to know if the injured eagle was a Peninsula resident or a transient eagle.
There is no known nest in the immediate vicinity of the airport, although there a number on the Peninsula," said Living. "Although Virginia's bald eagles are moving into the early part of their nesting season, it is still possible to have an unattached adult passing through."
Hope that eagle survives, Mits. Thanks for sharing the story. 4 so far this year.....and we're only on day 27. Wow. Goodnight to you and to Ceil. See you in the morning!
Mits you did say the B word. Now, when I go see TRAIN in Norfolk on 3/11, I will at least put my feet in the sand somewhere at the ocean. Megan, wanna go?
Seems to me that the arena is right on the waters' edge in Norfolk, Sharon!! You'll be able to smell that good sea air and see all the ships if nothing else!
Praise be to Saint Anthony! He has helped others find things like keys, watches etc. Movie is over - Can't figure out if DVD's have captions..... I rely on them especially when the English is being spoken with an accent.
Exercise would help if I could sustain more than two or three minutes of walking or stress on the leg. I keep hoping it will improve so I can move for longer periods of time. Surgeon said two/three months but I think he's just talking.
Mitts, so happy you were able to see Tai Shan before he leaves. It is an emotional time but, as you say, he's almost on his way to Panda HP.
It's okay, Lolly. I'm just jealous.
Prayer for the Norfolk eagle's full recovery.
Lynn, great you found the papers. St. Anthony comes through, again.
Grew up in Norfolk. How cool to have TRAIN near the BEACH with the smell of salt air!
Has Shirley been around? Wonder if she's lost a contact and can't see her computer.
Okay, have to go to the big school house tomorrow to talk about serial killers so turning my light out but leaving the night light on for others. Andy, please set the security system when you get here -- thanks.
No egg yet, Delphia, we are all making guesses... lots and lots of hanky panky in the last two weeks or so. Live feed is up, guess you know that. NCTC Live Feed
I've been out howling at the moon and doing an No-Snow dance...
Good Night to all.... Prayers for health and wellness, and that all sadnesses will be soothed in the morning light.
Holy Smokes, I forgot to mention, I think I saw a Bald Eagle in Morgan County this afternoon....near where Sleepy Creek crosses under Route 9 - woulda had to wreck to get a better view of it...maybe another time
I wish I could answer this better and I think someone else will, but Judie teaches adults including police officers...criminal justice classes....I am sorry I can't come up with more specifics, in fact I am embarassed that I cannot...
Delphia, Judie teaches criminal psychology at George Washington University! Lynne2 posted a sad story about an abused dog, tortured by a kid....so we wondered last night if Judie thought kid was a serial killer-to-be....and she said yes.
First egg laid last year on Jan. 30, around 2am'ish. other 2 followed a few days apart after thatm but I don't have exact dates in front of me.
We're waiting for Belle to spend the night in the nest, there has been a lot of food coming into the nest these last few days...so, watching and waiting are we.
Always good to see you Bird Girl...hope all is well with you
Good Night now ....heading to the pillows and blankies.. xoxo
Jack finished watching the hockey game and we turned on the Eagle program that we recorded the other night. Wow! Really enjoyed it. There were very sad parts, but loved watching it. Had to laugh when he talked about the male rearranging the sticks.
Just checked the nest. Spidey web is a blowin in the wind, but other than that nothing there!
So sad about the eagle that was injured. Thanks, Mits, for sharing. Hope it makes it! Gone to keep Buddy company.
Hi, Everyone! Have been laying low today, trying to get lots of rest. Went to the Dr., and she says it's mostly bad allergies, but I was starting to get a sinus infection. Gave me an antibiotic, and some generic Flonase nose spray. Should be on the mend now. Eyes still red and itchy, but it's not 'pinkeye', according to the doctor--just allergies to the point of 'overload'.
Hey, welcome to the two 'newbies' here on the blog! Really good to have you here! For your 'cheat sheet': Ms. Bookworm = Andy/Andrea I live in Anaheim, Calif.
Well, getting pretty tired, and will be up early tomorrow, so going to call it a night. Prayers said for everyone. The night light is on, and the porch light is automatic. Eye scanner is enabled. Sleep tight, and have sweet dreams. Talk to you in the morning! Love all you guys. :o]
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---WHOA!---It is wonderful to have NEW FRIENDS joining the EAGLE MOMSTERS BLOG!!---I learned about the EAGLES from my daughter--teach in JEFFERSON Co.---Her class was watching EAGLES!!---It was like 'STILL LIFE'--no movement!--but such FUN forming the MOMSTERS' group -- THANKS TO PAULA--MEMA JO--GLO--SHARON & others---OH! YEAH!--We HAVE COME A LONG WAY BABY!!!--LIFE IS GOOD!!
It is a COOL dark cloudy am here in WILD & WONDERFUL WV--'HOME OF OUR ROYAL COUPLE--BELLE & LIBERTY'----temp 36°--They are busy---preparing for the big event---BELLE laying EGGS in the nest!---(praying for 3)--MAYBE TODAY IS THE DAY?????
yes, Ensure, little Maggie uses that alot, she is not the world's best eater, I think because some things are hard to swallow for a down's child....the other two have no problems eating....
Good morning everyone. I see two beautiful eagles, must be Lib and Belle :-) and hear soem birds singing int he background. Now there is one awesome way to start my day. Make yours a good one.
Today Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of rain and snow showers this morning...then mostly sunny with scattered sprinkles this afternoon. Highs in the upper 40s. West winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. Chance of precipitation 20 percent.
Tonight Partly cloudy in the evening...then becoming mostly cloudy. Lows around 18. Northwest winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph. amen;)
Good morning, Momsters and Dadsters. Both in nest at the moment---looks like maybe making more nestorations or housekeeping. Weather is sounding much better for the weekend---think the storm will miss us even tho' it will be cold. Let egg-laying begin!
Andy, I hope the nose spray helps...any idea what's triggering this terrible allergy reaction?
Mits that was a great story about the eagle. Hope he makes it. That kind of break is pretty serious.
Lynn, Tracey is going to call me today with an update about the dog. She posted on FB last night that SHE is going to adopt her....not sure how that came about! Last she mentioned, and on the video, the family of the little girl who found the dog wanted to adopt her. I do know that she was weak and not eating due in part both to the terrible damage to her throat from the stick being jammed into it, and because she is so injured otherwise. The dog had a microchip that had been implanted in GA. I don't know if they actually found an owner, or former owner. And so they have no idea how the dog came to be in PA, and unless someone comes forward with some information, they will not ever know who did this to her. I've seen some pretty bad cases in my day, but none this bad, and this is the worst Tracey has ever seen.
Wanda, is GG not eating much because her tummy is giving her more trouble? How did the Omeprazole work...will she still need surgery?
Okay, so I dreamed last night that "they" let me have a panda to take home for 2 weeks. I had it loaded up in the van I still have to check out before I buy it! On the way home, I said "wait a minute, why are they letting me take a panda home". Then I thought, "wait a minute, I can't take a panda home. I have 5 dogs". Woke up before we got home but God only knows why I dreamed that!
well, speaking of pandas, they are doing some practice of getting Tai ready to go this a.m., Mei has not been allowed outside and she is not happy about it, running all over the den, throwing things around, pounding on doors
Do you think Mei senses that she is going to be losing her "baby", Mits? You know how mothers "sense" bad things!
Lynne, I am just sickened by the whole story. Curious about the implant...and the distance. I hope the poor thing survives, but worry about her future. I think I would kill the person who did that.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 383 of 383Thanks Paula...I really thought she was sitting. Not the best eye sight, obviously!!! lol
Welcome online Hedgie! I wish Ceil or Helen were here - Here are a few.....
St. Anthony, St. Anthony
Please come down
Something is lost
And can't be found.... or
Dear St. Anthony, I pray
Bring it back, without delay. .... or
Something's lost and can't be found
Please, St. Anthony, look around.
Hope those help!
Hi Lynn, welcome back.
Looked at the nest and heart started to flutter. Thought maybe an egg until Paula said standing. I wasn't sure.
You and me both, Judie
I thought on the still cam I could see her feetsies because the live feed is too shadowed.
Tonight might be the night.... meaning in the early morning light of the 28th.
Well I would just flip out if Belle would stand - put her head down - and roll an egg! Now wouldn't that be something else...........
Some of the family is coming over on short notice for dinner... I best start clearing my table of the all important papers called clutter.....
I'm still keeping an eye on Belle.
Checked out the zoo to make sure Mits didn't find any red pandas to view.
Keep watching Belle, i see her doing some rocking side to side
Lib just flew in with a stick.
LIb just arrived with a stick
Paula - I agree that Belle at the egg cup is acting very suspicious.
But now we know that early am hours is when that egg comes..... Sure could be wrong.
I wish that she would MOVE IT so we at least would know what is going on.
No sooner spoken then appears LIB
WHOO HOO! Up and about!!!
SHe got up as soon as he started picking at leftovers.
Belle is up out of the bowl, picking at bugs
The egg cup is deep like last year.
Lib was gonna have some, but I think he deferred to her
Let it up to Lib to straighten up the egg cup.
Belle left, do you see the white of Lib's wings? at the elbow?
2 Poofs and they're out !
Lib left.
Just cause last year was middle of the night doesn't mean this year will be also.
I think with the camera angle, we are going to be able to see in the egg cup better, what do you all think?
Hi everyone, I see we have 2 new viewers - welcome!
As a relatively newbie, myself this is a great place to blog. The people are great and as someone once said, "I came for the eagles, but stayed for the friends."
I hate to leav e with so much action/inaction at the nest cup, but life goes on .. later
I'm thinking you are right, Sharon.
Well night light is on..... Moon is out bright here in the valley.
Off to prepare dinner with hubby.
BBL
Yup, should be easier
Paula, what are the chances for either of them to come back to the nest at night?
If they roost in the sycamore tree, it is real easy for them to drop in. They also roost in the trees off to the right.
They can still manuveur around in the dark.
I don't think we've ever seen them in the nest at night, except when it is close to nesting season like this.
When somebody spends the night in the nest, chances are an egg is there or coming really soon.
Just checked NBG and looks like it's down for now.
I see Boris has left a fluttery web-ish thing unless that's really a glittery garland passing by.
Darth is at a meeting and I am without dinner inspiration. Maybe a snack will do for tonight.
Sure wish Belle would return.
Shirley, weather report said maybe some snow your way this weekend.
Judie - grilled cheese
Heading home, catch ya later!
Where did everyone go??
Are we talking eagles or bloggers or both LOL
Ah, Paula. Many thanks. Just perfect.
Found you! I kept refreshing but it didn't make it through the split! Duh...
Thanx Paula & Sharon. I was wondering if I could leave the live cam for the night. I don't want to miss anything.
Hi Everyone! Got home from the Largo Ledo's. When girl checked computer for my order she said, "Larada"! Pretty close.
TH weather here is supposed to be 50°+, but Sat. the high is 24° & SNOW!! Of course it's my Sat. to work!
BTW, I haven't been on here much lately, but Fubby said there was flooding in S'town! Anyone affected? Hope everyone's OK.
Moon is beautiful tonight!! Shining very brightly---NO CLOUDS!
Oh, Jo, thanks for posting Carolyn's email about me today!!!
A picture of Sheptown area flooding- water
Loretta, think the river crested at flood stage at S'town, but haven't heard of any serious problems. Normal high water/ low road closures there as well as here, but no evacuations or anything that I have heard of. River levels were supposed to have been going down by yesterday morning.
Thx Megan & Lynn. Glad everyone'
s OK.
Gotta eat-- soup, I guess. Last night I ddid some serious chopping & made Red's Black-eyed pea soup!Yum! Waited til I got home for pain pill & it's almost naptime!!
A baby bear is squealing!
Loretta, I'll tell you the same thing I told Chrissy----my mouth hurts for you. :(
Megan, guess that guy who submerged his car took his Polar Plunge a few days early!
Yes, but correct me if I'm wrong, I don't believe you take your car in with you for the Polar Plunge.
I was going to sign that guy up for the polar bear plunge. Harbor flooded the other day also.
Lynn did you find the papers.
Jo you did a great job with the St. Anthony prayer
the moon is really bright tonight
Well, T-Bird went into work at 6:30 this morning and still not home. They have the state doing something there today.
I have some gorgeous deer out here eating this evening!
Megan, you are too funny! People do plunge their cars, don't they? :)
Flood gates a Conowingo opened, check out this video
Conowingo Flood Gates Opened
I am getting ready to go to a meeting and I have on my lovely Spunky 2006 sweatshirt!
Lynne we were going to ride up to Conowingo today but had to change plans.
Thx Lynn. It's not that bad, but I think gum opened & it's a little sore. That's why I'm so mad I have to give up the tooth. It's not at all like one of those puffed out jaws or anything. But I'm glad I went~~I've learned the hard way to get help ASAP. Once I didn't call him because it was his day off & he said call me anyway, I can get you on meds. That was the first time I had the swollen jaw & didn't sleep all night! Never again.
Thanks Megan for the 'flood' news.
Going to be one water sooked auto.
Lynne - Great to see the Conowingo dam news of the gates being opened. I wonder if the red blinking lights and the sirens were on.
Jo they did
Forgot to tell you guys that the Park area made the news yesterday.An oil truck coming down Croom Airport Rd. flipped over, lost the tank & all the kerosene (news said)spilled!Two retired men came in to get fishing licenses & said they were right there and called 911.It's a straight part of road, but his wheels went off the road into the soft shoulder & when he tried to get back up on road, it flipped.Road closed for 2 days while Hazmat cleans up the mess. Luckily there are 2 roads that form a long block on each side of spill, so can get around area.
LOL, Megan! Well, it's obvious that he's not too bright, or he wouldn't have put himself in that situation to begin with!!
Nope, Ceil, haven't found papers yet.....but thanks, Jo, for giving me the prayer(s). Have recited all versions! Will look some more after Jeopardy.
Yep, Loretta, getting started on the meds is important!
BBL.
Lowreeda! How was your Ledo's salad? I love their salads and house dressing, yummo!
I am having a buffalo chicken salad w/ bleu cheese dressing!
Larada hope you feel better soon.
Lynn it will dawn on you where they are.
Off to watch some tv
Paula, I didn't eat it yet! I'm going to have soup first & maybe a hamburger. Got the big Italian one w/House dressing. We can share it!
OH, other news~~~girl in there said our replacement Ledo's in Forestville should open in March & much bigger!!They are taking over old Chinese place!!!!
In time to celebrate a chick?????
Wonder if the birds like the extra water at Conowingo?
Do they hang around there after chick season?
Yes, I meant to ask about the flooding in Stown, too. That car was in worse shape than the Eburg one!
would love to be up at Conowingo...the rocks are all under water! WOW
Lowreeda - sorry you aren't eating the salad!
Dinner is over and family has left.
Very nice to have them - usually it is all families here and it's nice when it is just one of them at a time.
Hi Larada!! Going to take me a while to get used to that one. I like Loweeda!
Well, Jack and I had a great evening,. I worked for a couple of hours in the yard, mostly in my herb garden. Have a lot of leaves in there and had to cut back a lot of thyme and oregano. Sure smelled good working there!
BUT,then we had a glass of wine (Jack had a beer) on the back pati0. Then we moved to the front patio and had another glass. It was wonderful sitting out, not cool at all! Listened to the weather when we came in....we might miss the snow and ice after all. Several inches of rain are predicted! Yuk!
ok SO you will get to eat it, Lowreeda!
Judie - How's the leg? Report, please!
Lolly, it looked earlier like it was Dallas and north for that nasty weather.
Larada, hope your poor mouth feels better soon. Didn't Norma have a tooth pulled today or yesterday?
Wow Ceil, that would have been some sight in person at Conowingo today! When we were there Steve said he'd never seen the water so low! Jo I am sure they had all the bells and whistle going! Glad you had such a nice dinner with family.
Here is the news video clip of the dog I mentioned found in a trash can. They operated on her leg last night...my friend Tracey is the one taping her IV in and is behind the surgery table doing the anesthesia.
Dog in York
Hubby is going to put a dvd in - it will be over in order for us to hear the commentaries on the speech.
BBL
St. Anthony be praised! Found the papers! They were in a stack of genealogy things! Have no idea how I put them there!!
Sharon, my therapist (PT) told me about her visits to the American Music Theater in Lancaster and the concerts she enjoyed.
Guess who's coming to Lancaster PA?!
TRAIN - March 18.
That's about 25-30 miles from me as the eagle flies and there are a lot of hotels/motels in this area due to the tourists in the Amish area.
... just in case you're interested.
Back.
Larada, sorry your mouth is feeling so bad. I hope the meds work. Maybe with a new name your tooth will get confused and stop hurting.
Is the Ledo the same as the pizza place?
Jo, glad you had a "quiet" visit for dinner.
Wow! Conowingo water was amazing. Wouldn't want to be in it's path. Wonder if the rushing water stirs up fish for the eagles?
Okay, Lolly, not fair. We're freezing around here. No patio sitting front or back.
Paula, thank you for asking. Horrible pain is gone from right leg. Still have swelling below the knee and a shoe doesn't feel good. But, can't complain since the pain is gone. Supposed to see the surgeon again in March to decide about the left leg. Strange thing is the right thigh feels weak when I walk to and from classes.

Be careful what you tell Sharon. All she needs to hear is TRAIN.
K10 at PH nest
Lynn, I enjoyed the glitter story. Thanks.
Lynn, so glad you found them!
Judie, are you able to do any exercises to help strengthen that muscle?
Lolly, just read you been hittin' the herb all day....LOL!
Sorry, Judie, I forgot! Sharon, please disregard my former post! ;o)
I'm ashamed to say that poor battered dog was found across the river from me - in York PA. We are not all heartless! I cry at the ASPCA commercials!
The Susquehanna is near or about to crest in Marietta, PA. It's starting to receed above us. Boy, did we have rain!!! Don't now why or how, but we didn't have water in the basement. whew!!!
Did I miss the glitter story?? I know I missed the wax.
boy that Anthony is a real saint on finding things, isn't he;)
Lynn Hedgie, I'd be totally lost without St. Anthony.
Loretta, sorry to hear about your sore mouth. Hope it's better soon.
Lynne2, God bless your friend for being a friend of the animals too.
Judie, please don't fall down.
... later
something is at the nest near the mic, can hear it:), must be roosting in the tree tonight
yes Diann, but he would find you:)
well said my goodbyes to Tai Shan, I did not have myself on the schedule next week, jubby will be out of town, so I was planning a get away to the beach...was happy to see Tai's keeper tonight, who will be traveling with him when he goes home to China, it will be tough on her, but she, like the rest of us, are anxious for him to get his life started:)
Did someone say BEACH???
drats.....I said the "B" word:)
I can hear that word a mile away...
and I just tried to sneak it in and blow it by you...:)
What's going on here???? T words and B words? For shame!!!!
Paula, weatherman says all he has to be is off by 20 miles and we could possibly have snow and ice. Laurel is in Denton, north of the DFW area. We are approx. 15 miles south of Fort Worth.
Sorry, Judie....but it really was nice to be outside today. Good for the soul!!!!!!
Off to work on slides!
BBL
Mits, I was feeling for you today. TOo bad you couldn't give that panda a big bear hug. Yep, you said the B word.....you know what Sharons' gonna say! Glad you are planning your getaway. And here I am, stuck on Getaway EVERY DAY!!
Diann, I'll send you the glitter story by email!
Our prayers answered again. Thanks St. Anthony
Mits, I know how much you'll miss Tai and it must have been sad to say goodbye. Glad you got a chance to talk to the keeper.
Heading to bed. Can hardly wait to see what the updated weather for the weekend is going to be...hope the snow stays away.
well that did not work
A bald eagle likely was struck by an airplane near Newport News-Williamsburg Airport.
It's being treated at the Wildlife Center of Virginia in Waynesboro, the organization that's caring for an eagle from Norfolk Botanical Garden that had Avian Pox.
"On January 20, we received a call that a Bald Eagle may have been hit near the airport. The next day, airport authorities indicated no eagle had been found," said Randy Huwa with the Wildlife Center of Virginia.
On Tuesday, however, airport officials contacted the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries about an injured bald eagle, said Huwa.
DGIF Conservation Police Officer George Wilson coordinated the recovery effort for the injured eagle.
The injured bird was located Tuesday and transported to the Animal Clinic and Wellness Center in Williamsburg, where it was examined and stabilized.
After being secured in a figure-eight bandage, the eagle was transported to the Waynesboro center Wednesday by DGIF biologist Susan Watson.
The eagle, believed to be a 7-8-year-old male, has an open fracture of a bone in its left wing.
"The greatest threat at this point is the risk of infection," Huwa stated.
Radiographs also raised concerns about a lung infection, so the eagle is receiving two different antibiotics and pain medications.
He'll be closely monitored over the next few days.
This is the fourth bald eagle admitted to the Waynesboro center so far this year.
According to the Web site birdstrike.org, 110 bald eagles have been struck by aircraft in the U.S. since 1990.
Stats compiled by the FAA show that 4 eagles have been struck by aircraft in Virinia since 2002. That includes previous male mate of the resident female at Norfolk Botanical Garden. At the time, those eagles nested at Norfolk International Airport.
DGIF biologist Stephen Living says eagles are less likely to be struck by aircraft than other types of birds such as gulls, which can gather in huge flocks urban areas.
Living says it's not possible to know if the injured eagle was a Peninsula resident or a transient eagle.
There is no known nest in the immediate vicinity of the airport, although there a number on the Peninsula," said Living. "Although Virginia's bald eagles are moving into the early part of their nesting season, it is still possible to have an unattached adult passing through."
Good night all. Pleasant dreams
Tai will be missed, but am happy he will have some girl pandas in his life, he was starting to wink at his Mom...got to get that panda home;)
good night everyone, have a good night.
Hope that eagle survives, Mits. Thanks for sharing the story. 4 so far this year.....and we're only on day 27. Wow.
Goodnight to you and to Ceil. See you in the morning!
Mits you did say the B word. Now, when I go see TRAIN in Norfolk on 3/11, I will at least put my feet in the sand somewhere at the ocean. Megan, wanna go?
Seems to me that the arena is right on the waters' edge in Norfolk, Sharon!! You'll be able to smell that good sea air and see all the ships if nothing else!
Oh yes, Sharon, the beach is near there...only 30 minutes or so I think, don't hold me to that, it's been awhile since I was down in that area.
Lynn - thanks for the wingo and doggies videos. wow on the water and the doggie is a doll. Hope they let that little girl have her.
Judie - glad you are walking. I was going to ask about exercises too. I had grilled cheese last night!
PH nest went dark with K10 on the nest, might be spending the night there.
Mits, glad you got to see Tai off to his new start in life.
Oh Sharon...you better just send me a postcard.
Guess I'm thinking of the Coliseum at Hampton Rds. Never heard of the NorVa!
The concert is at the NorVA Lynn, not the arena. Smaller venue.
Cool, windows has a snipping tool, have to see if it will capture pics off the live video...still looking for the movie maker
No egg yet I take it?
Paula, I've used Windows Movie Maker which was already on my computer. That's how I made the videos on my FB and YT pages.
Praise be to Saint Anthony! He has helped others find things like keys, watches etc.
Movie is over - Can't figure out if DVD's have captions..... I rely on them especially when the English is being spoken with an accent.
Delphia - I just got a new computer with windows 7....still learning things here, had it on XP, just need to find the little sucker.
Great, it doesn't have movie maker, that really sucks
Back.
Exercise would help if I could sustain more than two or three minutes of walking or stress on the leg. I keep hoping it will improve so I can move for longer periods of time. Surgeon said two/three months but I think he's just talking.
Mitts, so happy you were able to see Tai Shan before he leaves. It is an emotional time but, as you say, he's almost on his way to Panda HP.
It's okay, Lolly. I'm just jealous.
Prayer for the Norfolk eagle's full recovery.
Lynn, great you found the papers. St. Anthony comes through, again.
Grew up in Norfolk. How cool to have TRAIN near the BEACH with the smell of salt air!
Has Shirley been around? Wonder if she's lost a contact and can't see her computer.
Okay, have to go to the big school house tomorrow to talk about serial killers so turning my light out but leaving the night light on for others. Andy, please set the security system when you get here -- thanks.
No egg yet, Delphia,
we are all making guesses...
lots and lots of hanky panky in the last two weeks or so. Live feed is up, guess you know that.
NCTC Live Feed
I've been out howling at the moon and doing an No-Snow dance...
Good Night to all....
Prayers for health and wellness, and that all sadnesses will be soothed in the morning light.
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥
But, I can download a movie maker from microsoft...
@ Judie: talking about serial killers? at the risk of sounded morbid...cool! why?
@ paula: good, that may be where i got it too
Does anyone know when last year's eggs were laid?
Made it to News time...
Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)
Holy Smokes, I forgot to mention, I think I saw a Bald Eagle in Morgan County this afternoon....near where Sleepy Creek crosses under Route 9 -
woulda had to wreck to get a better view of it...maybe another time
Birdie
Jan 31, Feb 2, and I can't remember what date 3rd egg laid
well if they're going to keep on schedule, they'd best hurry up!!
I wish I could answer this better and I think someone else will, but Judie teaches adults including police officers...criminal justice classes....I am sorry I can't come up with more specifics, in fact I am embarassed that I cannot...
but that's a start anyway....
:(
sorry Judie...little case of CRS going on
Delphia, Judie teaches criminal psychology at George Washington University! Lynne2 posted a sad story about an abused dog, tortured by a kid....so we wondered last night if Judie thought kid was a serial killer-to-be....and she said yes.
First egg laid last year on Jan. 30, around 2am'ish. other 2 followed a few days apart after thatm but I don't have exact dates in front of me.
We're waiting for Belle to spend the night in the nest, there has been a lot of food coming into the nest these last few days...so, watching and waiting are we.
Always good to see you Bird Girl...hope all is well with you
Good Night now ....heading to the pillows and blankies..
xoxo
5th Year 2008 - 3 Eggs Laid Feb 4, 6 and 10 - 3 Eaglets hatched and fledged.
6th year 2009- 3 Eggs Laid Jan 31, Feb 2 & Feb 6 - 1 Eaglet hatched and fledged.
Yep, Margy is right---31st of Jan! I looked at wrong year on the calendar!!
Paula posted on Yahoo page: Eggs Laid Jan 31, Feb 2 & Feb 6.
I wonder when they released the water at the Conowingo dam how high did it rise. You could almost see a water line and I'm thinking that is where.
Larada - I am going to lunch with past coworkers tomorrow to Ledo's! I haven't been there for a couple months.
Egg info on older posts from today and on the front page of the momsters site, Delphia
I am ready to turn in, too. Have my taxes half-finished! Yippee!
Hope all have an eggcellent night. Prayers and peace.
Going down the hall......
Good Night All
Peace to you and yours
Prayers for everyone

Nite all!

hugs to all ♥
Sleepy and tired here...just going to fall into bed. Hope everyone is well and happy:)
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Jack finished watching the hockey game and we turned on the Eagle program that we recorded the other night. Wow! Really enjoyed it. There were very sad parts, but loved watching it. Had to laugh when he talked about the male rearranging the sticks.
Just checked the nest. Spidey web is a blowin in the wind, but other than that nothing there!
So sad about the eagle that was injured. Thanks, Mits, for sharing. Hope it makes it! Gone to keep Buddy company.
Heading to the shower. Night all! Sweet dreams!
Hi, Everyone!
Have been laying low today, trying to get lots of rest. Went to the Dr., and she says it's mostly bad allergies, but I was starting to get a sinus infection. Gave me an antibiotic, and some generic Flonase nose spray. Should be on the mend now. Eyes still red and itchy, but it's not 'pinkeye', according to the doctor--just allergies to the point of 'overload'.
Hey, welcome to the two 'newbies' here on the blog! Really good to have you here! For your 'cheat sheet': Ms. Bookworm = Andy/Andrea
I live in Anaheim, Calif.
Well, getting pretty tired, and will be up early tomorrow, so going to call it a night. Prayers said for everyone. The night light is on, and the porch light is automatic. Eye scanner is enabled.
Sleep tight, and have sweet dreams. Talk to you in the morning!
Love all you guys. :o]
Good morning!
About to get myself ready for school.
MT nest.
Delphia - because I used to be one? NOT! Lynn gave you the reason.
Back later. Everyone have a good morning.

GOOD MORNING...EAGLE ALERT!
good morning, thanks for the alert , Wanda, how is GG?
Think it is Belle...can Lib be far behind? ;)
now I thought this was Lib,:)
update from NBG....
Cam down Jan 28 a.m. -Nest empty last night
Male to nest at 6:40 this morning – mom still sleeping?
6:56 Mom to nest – both arranging nest
7:15 Performed the tango on back branch
that must be Lib, is at his fav spot
Helen, GG is better...but oh, so weak. She is eating some. Thank God for ENSURE. It has kept her alive more than once. Thanks for asking:)
I think it is Lib, and not Belle in the nest...what do you think?
but it looks big like Belle, man, that takeoff from up above shook the camera....HP up above on branch
LOL...Tango;)
back in nest
Empty nest:(
I was mistaken...I need more sleep!
yeah that was cute, we say HP, Norfolk cause it the tango:)
yes, Ensure, little Maggie uses that alot, she is not the world's best eater, I think because some things are hard to swallow for a down's child....the other two have no problems eating....
actually Maggie uses..Pediasure
both in nest
and they both want to sit in the same spot
OK, both there, now what...nestorations or HP:)
Good morning everyone. I see two beautiful eagles, must be Lib and Belle :-) and hear soem birds singing int he background. Now there is one awesome way to start my day. Make yours a good one.
I think it's wonderful that there are products like Ensure and Pedialite or Pediasure. Truly a life saving drink!
One gone...for breakfast, maybe?
I have been watching LILY BEAR--temp -9°---LITTLE LIL making lots of noise!!
EAGLE has been in nest---but I'm running late---ENJOY!---Hope I see EGGS upon my return this afternoon!
later--W/CTR--
Yes, Glo...seeing our eagles and hearing all the wonderful song birds in the trees is hard to beat, first thing in the morning:)
Must not be able to find any ROAD KILL this morning...plenty fish in the Potomac:)
today's weather for nest....
Today
Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of rain and snow showers this morning...then mostly sunny with scattered sprinkles this afternoon. Highs in the upper 40s. West winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. Chance of precipitation 20 percent.
Tonight
Partly cloudy in the evening...then becoming mostly cloudy. Lows around 18. Northwest winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.
amen;)
both eagles
more HP again
These 2 must need to consume lots of calories for all that calorie burning they are doing .
HP in the egg cup, won't have to travel far to lay the egg.
Just came in with a tree. Pretty difficult to place a whole tree with branches instead of just a stick.
trees are good:)
Good morning, Momsters and Dadsters.
Both in nest at the moment---looks like maybe making more nestorations or housekeeping.
Weather is sounding much better for the weekend---think the storm will miss us even tho' it will be cold. Let egg-laying begin!
would be nice to see a daytime egg-laying...
Good morning everyone! Just saw some HP Tango!
Andy, I hope the nose spray helps...any idea what's triggering this terrible allergy reaction?
Mits that was a great story about the eagle. Hope he makes it. That kind of break is pretty serious.
Lynn, Tracey is going to call me today with an update about the dog. She posted on FB last night that SHE is going to adopt her....not sure how that came about! Last she mentioned, and on the video, the family of the little girl who found the dog wanted to adopt her. I do know that she was weak and not eating due in part both to the terrible damage to her throat from the stick being jammed into it, and because she is so injured otherwise. The dog had a microchip that had been implanted in GA. I don't know if they actually found an owner, or former owner. And so they have no idea how the dog came to be in PA, and unless someone comes forward with some information, they will not ever know who did this to her. I've seen some pretty bad cases in my day, but none this bad, and this is the worst Tracey has ever seen.
Wanda, is GG not eating much because her tummy is giving her more trouble? How did the Omeprazole work...will she still need surgery?
that poor dog, would love to find the people who did this...grrrr:(
Okay, so I dreamed last night that "they" let me have a panda to take home for 2 weeks. I had it loaded up in the van I still have to check out before I buy it! On the way home, I said "wait a minute, why are they letting me take a panda home". Then I thought, "wait a minute, I can't take a panda home. I have 5 dogs". Woke up before we got home but God only knows why I dreamed that!
We just had more fluff brought in!
well, speaking of pandas, they are doing some practice of getting Tai ready to go this a.m., Mei has not been allowed outside and she is not happy about it, running all over the den, throwing things around, pounding on doors
Good morning all:) Sounds like we need to send someone to Sharon's house to check her car for pandas...
So Mei Xiang is pitching a hissy fit? I love hissy fits!
yes, and there is no one better than Mei at pitching hissy fits...
Maine cam is back up, MT nest there.
NBG is also back up, eagle on the branch
Tai is like his Dad, Tian, sitting there munching on bamboo, completely unaware of what is going on around him
New thread. Y'all come on over.
Do you think Mei senses that she is going to be losing her "baby", Mits?
You know how mothers "sense" bad things!
Lynne, I am just sickened by the whole story. Curious about the implant...and the distance. I hope the poor thing survives, but worry about her future. I think I would kill the person who did that.
