We have property up at Sugarloaf area. We are going to put it up for sale. Want to move south in the winters. We may rethink that idea after the week that just past.
I love the White Mountains also. Sugarloaf is further north. Big skiing area. Lots of hiking. We have cut down on both. Your winter has been worst then ours.
Okay further North I know I've heard of it before, been a long time. My friends in NH keep rubbing it in that we are getting their snow. I liked snow better when I was a kid, at this point, it's too much work.
Well, goodnight to all. Going upstairs. My cats are starring at me and tapping their feet. Orders have been give. Have a busy day tomorrow. Going north ( about 3 hours drive) to visit children and Grand babies. Good Times!
I see from Larada that the famous or infamous GARLAND is still floating (flying) around! If that is what killed Judie's washer, there could be a lawsuit in the works...that would pay for the new washer:) Wonder if Judie burried the washer deep in the woods where the bears live?
What a wonderful, thoughtful, sweet gift Jubby gave Helen! Jay, that was GENIOUS on your part!
Lynn or Margy, would the injured officer be related to the late BUZZ CARROLL?
Portsmouth...AHHH, that is where I had my first genuine MAINE LOBSTER. It was a dream come true for me. Wanted to have one in Maine for MANY years:)
Margy, been missing you on here. Will be glad when you have a day off so you can watch the new egg with us:)
GOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIENDS & NEW FRIENDS SLEEP WELL PRAYERS FOR ALL
ROFLMBO Shirley, that is too funny! Wonder if Lily has decorated her den with the garland. She liked the rubberband, bet she was thrilled with the garland. Judie may be draging the washer to Minn, deep in the woods, but bet Lily is really not interested in it.
Didn't get here as early as I had hoped. Had to go take care of Sis-in-law's bulldogs, so had a later dinner than originally planned. Then fell asleep in front of the TV again.
Haven't caught up on the blog--have all next week off from school, and it may take that long to read everything. We're planning on spending Monday with Sis-in-law, who's got the day off. (Hubby does too.) She wants to drive to an outlet mall near Palm Springs. If we go, we'll have to swing by the desert house to check on it, and to pick up mail from the P.O. box. Should keep us busy.
We saw 'Valentines Day' today, and it was very enjoyable.
Lynn, prayers continue for your friends! Glad to hear that Rick is better!
I'm not interested in the FB page for NCTC. Like it here far too much, and just plain don't have time!
Oh, my gosh! Did Belle lay another egg today? Don't know what to think at this point! Hope there's not too much extreme weather in the near future! Dare we hope?
Welcome to the newcomers on the blog today! Nice to have you here!
Well, getting kinda tired, so will leave the night light on. The porch light is automatic, and the eye scanner security is enabled. Hope everyone sleeps tight. Prayers said for everybody. Sweet dreams, and I'll talk to you tomorrow morning (after going and feeding Sis-in-law's bulldogs). God bless and goodnight! Love all you guys! :o]
Computer views all straightened out this morning, nausea gone ☺
Megan - thanks for the lottery and new computer wishes...and if I am ever to win the Powerball, I will buy you a trip to New Hampshire ♥ (maybe, in the springtime though ☺ )
We have had military personnel bunking at our building the last week, manning the humvees and doing many important things. One officer came to visit our Center on Saturday, and showed us a homemade Snowshoe, made of strong sticks and White Pine sprigs. And, it smelled wonderful ☺ Megan - I think you could make some of these ! I put some pictures of it on my Fun and Dandy link on my blog.
Time for work now, Best wishes for all for a great day.
Hope to hear from our Sweetheart Dana today - it has been a little while since she has popped on here
See you much much later on tonight. Miss you during the daytime, friends. xo ☺ ♥
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE... I've been watching the nest since 6:45am and nothing notable has happened. Belle hasn't moved from the egg cup,except to turn egg/eggs, unless she did while I was rebooting this 'puter. Lib flew in once but brought nothing. Didn't stay long. Have a blessed Sunday.
Morning all. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY Shirley loved the picture of Lily that Judie she is a smart one. Margy think I will make a pair. We still need them. Forgot to tell everyone that I won a small amount on the lotto the other night. I always give Sister Catherine half of what I win. I rarely play except if Mega Millions gets high. BBL
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!--- finally got off the hill!!---LOADED up on FOOD!--another storm is headed our way!!---Don't you love the GLEAM the weather folks get in their eyes---WHEN SNOW IS ON THE WAY!!---What POWER! ho!! -WHOA!!---Bright sunshine--& blue skies this am!!--MORNIN' MOVIN'JIM--WANDA & CEIL!!---temp is a balmy 26° here in WILD & WONDERFUL WEST VIRGINIA---'HOME OF BELLE & LIB' HAPPY HEARTS DAY!!!---
Jim, thanks for reminding us about the Catalina reports, etc. Some great interesting info....Not quite sure what the "new" guy meant about he and Steff being on different shifts....but good to see that she IS still there. How 'bout that juvie she had named HYDI????? Wanda, you need to look at the post by IWD Crew there---cute pic of foxes!!!
Congrats, Ceil, on your lotto win! Can I rub your head?! Shirley, love the pic and caption on Lily!! How'd you do that? Bet Judie hasn.t seen it yet---since she's probably STILL hiking back from the Big Wood!!
Norma, so how was the outside world? I may forget what it looks like!
Good morning again. Hi Norma, BEagle, Sharon and Lynn Norma that was the second amber alert. The 4 year old was found a few hours later. The one last night was either 11 or 12 I think.Don't quote me. LOL BEagle I have not looked in since this morning but someone said that Lib came in but left right away.
MORNIN' HEDGIE!---WHOA!---Think I forgot how to drive!!---I have a SUBARU & it is good in snow!!--the snow is so deep!---Keeping RICK & Officer CARROL in my thoughts!!--
Hedgie - RE Channel Islands Hydi - she is a golden eagle, not a juvie bald eagle. They thought "she" was a "he" until "she" dropped an egg on them last year!
Has anyone seen the 2 eagles on the nest at the same time. I did at first but can't seem to catch that now. Maybe I am not watching enough. One thing I found peculiar was that during the storm when both eagles were there, the female was off the egg quite a bit. Now she seems to be on it most of the time. I cannot tell them apart ever.
*&%#$@ I just knew it. Lily said if I gave her the shiny garland she would use it to decorate the den for the baby AND she would not bear witness about where the evidence is hidden. Never trust a black bear!
I actually got home very quickly. Met an EMT guy who gave me a cool pair of snow shoes made of sticks and white pine. He was out looking for a shiny garland -- said I had no clue.
Shirley, thanks so much. What a fun picture to start the day.
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!--- finally got off the hill!!---LOADED up on FOOD!--another storm is headed our way!!---Don't you love the GLEAM the weather folks get in their eyes---WHEN SNOW IS ON THE WAY!!---What POWER! ho!! -WHOA!!---Bright sunshine--& blue skies this am!!--MORNIN' MOVIN'JIM--WANDA & CEIL!!---temp is a balmy 26° here in WILD & WONDERFUL WEST VIRGINIA---'HOME OF BELLE & LIB' HAPPY HEARTS DAY!!!---
I know the DNR folks in HAMPSHIRE CO are aware that we have been watching the EAGLES for quite awhile!!--We have several EAGLES here in our county & some surrounding counties!!--
I worked for DENZIL GAINER--Budget Director & later became AUDITOR! You probably were a child then--Worked there in summers between school & later full time!--husband grad. of MORRIS HARVEY!!--(now UC)!!---probably before you were born!---now live in ROMNEY--oldest town in WV!!
I have no idea BEagle!---We have been watching since 06!---There are still many--many of the orginial crew here!----We share so much--have talked about many subjects--prayed with & for each other!!---Welcome!!
Would love to make a pair of good smelling pine snowshoes - but I wouldn't plan to use them. I would sink into the snow drifts! lol Shirley, your Lily pic and comment has cracked me up - I hope Judie sees it.
Nothing planned for the day.. Just looking out and being snow blinded.
I can only get the Live Feed up on IE Everything else I view is on my Firefox. I'll settle for jumping back and forth or when I tire of that I'll just put everything over on IE - But I love my firefox.
The WV SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF & BLIND is still here---It's just that they have integrated most of their students into public schools!--The only students here now are handicapped & unable to go to public schools!----I taught a couple of years there when my children were young---
phyfly. unless I missed it I think i am the only one who has shared on here anyway the thought that both eggs might be after the last blizzard. I think most if not everyone else thinks one is the 3rd unviable egg and the other is a 4th egg for this clutch. I may have seen a comment that perhaps there is an old egg and egg one of a new clutch. Are you confused yet ? LOL
Not much doubt though that we see her sitting on 2 eggs. We all agree with that one :-)
MORNIN' MEMA JO!---I was so brave that I got off the hill yesterday & LOADED UP with food!!---(first time in 10 days) We still have TONS of SNOW!!---expecting more tomorrow???----These PLOWS are costing a fortune!---but who cares!
Rest of Today Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 30s. West winds 15 to 20 mph. » ZIP Code Detail Tonight Mostly cloudy. Lows around 18. West winds 15 to 20 mph... becoming southwest 5 to 10 mph after midnight. Presidents Day Cloudy...snow...mainly in the afternoon. Snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches. Highs in the lower 30s. Southeast winds around 5 mph. Chance of snow 80 percent. Monday Night Mostly cloudy. Snow likely in the evening. Total snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible. Lows in the lower 20s. West winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 70 percent. amen?
BEagle!---Oh no!!---Must treat them the same as children with sight!---They must learn to live in the real world!!---After a while you forget they are blind--I wasn't around the students at the School for the Deaf!!---
I think at least a dozen eggs have been laid....just kidding....nest is going to be crowded....I'm also thinking along the lines of Glo, maybe one was laid when we were not watching, and the second yesterday, so hopes for 2 viable eggs at this point, a month or so from now it will all be revealed...
Norma in case no one answered your question about the # of eggs - We can see 2. I was over cleaning out my emails. Lots of pretty ecards for valentine's day.
I found TJ's post about the clutch and copied it over.
TJ said...
Hello again evryone! Just signed on and was skimming through posts and to my surprise, it appears Belle has laid another egg! Just wanted to make a quick comment regarding a few of the remarks I saw posted. In my opinion, it is highly doubtful that this new egg is the start of a second clutch. All the pairs that we have seen re-clutch generally take a few weeks for their "system" to reset. I think it is much more likely, however AMAZING, that this new egg represents the 4th egg in the original clutch! VERY, VERY rare! Awesome news for you all! Hope the weather settles down now and is a little less brutal for Belle and Lib! Congrats to you all. You all always remind me of soon-to-be grand parents with all your excitement, LOL!
By the way, I really hope I am wrong and this is the start of a second clutch! With this pair, nothing would surprise me! Fingers crossed!
Gotta go. Goood-bye all! Saturday, February 13, 2010 7:49:00 PM
I don't recall if I commented, but I was wondering after the loss of the first two if it is possible for eagles to extend the number in the clutch to compensate for eggs lost early in the series.
Blogger cop alive and well (?). He repeated Norma very late...duh! Jim, with all of us as your galfriends, we got you back in to the Valentine mood, huh?
The army guys' snow shoes were certainly unique! Hope he was able to keep them on!! One article in paper said that the snow is too deep even for snow shoes.
Norma, UAW Local 1590 (the autowowrkers' union that the hourly folks at our GM plant belong to) do all kinds of things at the school in Romney. Pizza parties, Christmas parties complete with Santa and gifts, picnics, etc. It is their #1 activity :)---after political action, of course...:(
Jim, I've never tried snow shoes, so don't know----just going by what person in paper article said.
Thanks, Megan, for update. Sounds better than what we heard last night from Margy! Prayers for his quick recovery.
Article in todays Herald print edition about an off-duty local officer who saved a young lady's life in an accident in early Dec. She's alive, but not a good outcome for her. So sad.
I bought some of that expensive ice melt that is supposed to be safe for pets and lawns, and we have been using that conservatively, but I left it to Will and Hunter to get the ice off of those back steps.
Old non-viable eggs - usually stay in the nest.. Once there was an egg in a nest that the hatched eaglet (Eggbert)fledged and the old egg was still there.
I see the white spot but even at full screen I can't be certain if it is an egg or a snowball. I'll go for the snowball.
This is a new experience for all of us as to what we are seeing. Most of us are guessing but next season we'll be able to talk about it with a bit more knowledge. You know - Live & Learn

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 785 of 785I saw the report of it! Don't even know how to feel about it.
Mixed emotions for sure!
Costume Lady, It must be fun having a costume store. Do you also sell Civil War Reenactment clothes. My husband is a reenactor.
I call myself ragdoll because I have ragdoll cats. I use to show them. They are my babies. I have ragdolz for my license plate.
Did I read right? Did Belle lay another egg? I got home late so I missed it. Oh, I pray all goes well with this egg.
Prayers for Officer Carrol and family
^..^
Ragdoll, are you from MAine? your avatar is great. I would love to go whale watching.
Yes Floragirl. I am from Maine. I am in the kennebunkport area. Whale watching is fun and interesting,
Belle looks very peaceful tonight.
Sharon, so glad Mattie, and all, had such a fun time for her birthday. More wonderful memories to be shared in the years ahead.
Will look up Trego Mountain Sanctuary tomorrow.
Not interested in the NCTC FB page. Prefer my blog family.
When I looked at Savannah today it was a surprise to realize the nest is on the ground, or appears to be. Adaptation is key.
It is time to turn my light off. Leaving the night light on for others. Andy, please set the alarm when you come in. How was the movie?
Pleasant eagle dreams for all. Dreams of more blue sky and sunshine!
I grew up in NH. I have been to Kennebunkport a couple of times. But I have not been to New England for 30 years. I miss it, such a beautiful area.
I have lived in Maine all my life. I like it, but as I get "more mature" The winters seem to me longer.
I am not complaining about our winter this year. You guys have been getting slammed. I have felt so sad for you all.
Yep, my parents left to escape the long, harsh winters.
Megan, I couldn't get the youtube of Halleluia that you posted on FB to open!
What part of Hew Hampshire?
Almost forgot....
Happy Birthday Mattie!!
gonna go zonk out....night all!
Hugs to all ♥
My fingers are broken. Darn those fingers! I meant New Hampshire
Don't know why, Hedgie.
I lived in New Durham, very small town near Rochester,about 30 minutes from Portsmouth.
Have been to New Durham. Portsmouth is about 35 mins. from me.
Small world. I love that whole area. Hope to get back up there to visit one day. Still have friends up there.
Ragdoll This is one reason we love this blog family -- Sooner or later we find out things that make us have ties!
We have property up at Sugarloaf area. We are going to put it up for sale. Want to move south in the winters. We may rethink that idea after the week that just past.
Heading down the hallway
Good Night All and Many Prayers for All
((((hugs)))) ♥ ♥ ♥
Hi Mema Jo, Glad to meet you. It's amazing how small our world is.
Good night, Jo, and everyone else! Reading papers all day has "slam wore me out" as Sissy would say!
Prayers for all and for peace.
Nite Jo:)
oh, in the White Mountains, used to love to go there.
The snow is crazy this year here.
Goodnight, Jo.
I love the White Mountains also. Sugarloaf is further north. Big skiing area. Lots of hiking. We have cut down on both. Your winter has been worst then ours.
Okay further North I know I've heard of it before, been a long time. My friends in NH keep rubbing it in that we are getting their snow. I liked snow better when I was a kid, at this point, it's too much work.
Well, goodnight to all. Going upstairs. My cats are starring at me and tapping their feet. Orders have been give. Have a busy day tomorrow. Going north ( about 3 hours drive) to visit children and Grand babies. Good Times!
Prayers for Lib and Belle and All.
^..^
I am going to call it a night.
Happy Valene tines Day everyone.
Tomorrow is the start of the rest of our lives.
I need to win a lottery also. a new computer is needed here.
although if I do not quit watching the cams watch I may need more that a new computer LOL
I see from Larada that the famous or infamous GARLAND is still floating (flying) around! If that is what killed Judie's washer, there could be a lawsuit in the works...that would pay for the new washer:) Wonder if Judie burried the washer deep in the woods where the bears live?
What a wonderful, thoughtful, sweet gift Jubby gave Helen! Jay, that was GENIOUS on your part!
Lynn or Margy, would the injured officer be related to the late BUZZ CARROLL?
Portsmouth...AHHH, that is where I had my first genuine MAINE LOBSTER. It was a dream come true for me. Wanted to have one in Maine for MANY years:)
Margy, been missing you on here. Will be glad when you have a day off so you can watch the new egg with us:)
GOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIENDS & NEW FRIENDS
SLEEP WELL
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Got a strange message from Lily. Judie has been spotted in the Minnesota woods whit a shovel and a dead washer. Check my blog.
. . . with a shovel
Good night dear friends. God bless.
ROFLMBO Shirley, that is too funny! Wonder if Lily has decorated her den with the garland. She liked the rubberband, bet she was thrilled with the garland. Judie may be draging the washer to Minn, deep in the woods, but bet Lily is really not interested in it.
I see that everyone has gone to bed. I am ready, just getting on to say Good Night! But, too late!
Sweet dreams, Momsters.♥♥♥ See you tomorrow, probably after church.
♥♥♥♥♥♥Happy Valentines Day!♥♥♥♥♥
A very late Good Evening, Everyone!
Didn't get here as early as I had hoped. Had to go take care of Sis-in-law's bulldogs, so had a later dinner than originally planned. Then fell asleep in front of the TV again.

Passing through.
Eagle on egg cup. Looks like an eagle blanket spread out over the eggs.
Either the wind is blowing in little puffs or there are eagle snores at the nest.
Eagle Snores...Shirley, That's Rich!
Good Morning everyone, and
Happy Valentine's Day to all my Sweetheart Momsters and Dadsters today ♥
Channel Island Reports
Computer views all straightened out this morning, nausea gone ☺
Megan -
thanks for the lottery and new computer wishes...and if I am ever to win the Powerball, I will buy you a trip to New Hampshire ♥

Belle is awake and maybe doing an egg roll...

because I was over here typing
looks like it is snowing at and into the nest box at Valmont
Above is the link to a couple of new reports from the Channel Islands.

I will have to check it out when I have more time tonight after work.
We have had military personnel bunking at our building the last week, manning the humvees and doing many important things.
One officer came to visit our Center on Saturday, and showed us a homemade Snowshoe, made of strong sticks and White Pine sprigs.
And, it smelled wonderful ☺

If you haven't checked out GLO'S GLIMPSES, do so. It is a treat!
Morning all. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
Shirley loved the picture of Lily that Judie she is a smart one.
Margy think I will make a pair. We still need them.
Forgot to tell everyone that I won a small amount on the lotto the other night. I always give Sister Catherine half of what I win. I rarely play except if Mega Millions gets high. BBL

Did the eagles just change places?
Or is that Belle still.
Love the SNOWSHOE MARGY!---MEGAN--are you going to make one?
Good Sunday morning and Happy Valentines Day to all.
Jim, thanks for reminding us about the Catalina reports, etc. Some great interesting info....Not quite sure what the "new" guy meant about he and Steff being on different shifts....but good to see that she IS still there. How 'bout that juvie she had named HYDI????? Wanda, you need to look at the post by IWD Crew there---cute pic of foxes!!!
Good Morning!
Belle is NOT happy with that stick...she is chirping at Lib and snapping pieces off of it!
Congrats, Ceil, on your lotto win! Can I rub your head?!
Shirley, love the pic and caption on Lily!! How'd you do that? Bet Judie hasn.t seen it yet---since she's probably STILL hiking back from the Big Wood!!
Norma, so how was the outside world? I may forget what it looks like!
BEagle---I'm not sure--but I think it is LIB--just guessing because of the way he is sitting on the nest!!---BELLE wiggles down in the nest???
BEagle!---ignore me--PAULA is our expert!!
They had some really rough weather at Santa Cruz---blown over sat station and a blind, as well.....guess those storms were worse than we heard about.
Good morning again. Hi Norma, BEagle, Sharon and Lynn
Norma that was the second amber alert. The 4 year old was found a few hours later. The one last night was either 11 or 12 I think.Don't quote me. LOL
BEagle I have not looked in since this morning but someone said that Lib came in but left right away.
I missed the stick thing. Why is it the eagles don't do much till I get up to make breakfast?
Lynn sure.
Off to the west coast cams and to deliver cards and Valentine's to the neighbors and going to walk to Mary Marg's.
I can't get still cam up at all....anyone else???
BEagle I miss a lot I am up and down and jubby thinks I am on too long. I rely on the all the ones who also come in and out and tell what they see
MORNIN' HEDGIE!---WHOA!---Think I forgot how to drive!!---I have a SUBARU & it is good in snow!!--the snow is so deep!---Keeping RICK & Officer CARROL in my thoughts!!--
I finally closed the still cam because there was a blank screen.
Lynn I still get the live cam without the ad
CONGRATS CEIL!---I haven't gotten my big WIN!---ho!
The eagle is messing with that stick again and hunkering down.
Lynn no still for me
CEIL!---This AMBER ALERT was for the older child that was in a yellow truck!! But I think they found her?
Hedgie - RE Channel Islands Hydi - she is a golden eagle, not a juvie bald eagle. They thought "she" was a "he" until "she" dropped an egg on them last year!
And I can't get any pic on the still cam either.
good morning everyone...Happy Valentines' Day
hope we get a new thread today:)
Has anyone seen the 2 eagles on the nest at the same time. I did at first but can't seem to catch that now. Maybe I am not watching enough.

I actually got home very quickly. Met an EMT guy who gave me a cool pair of snow shoes made of sticks and white pine. He was out looking for a shiny garland -- said I had no clue.
Shirley, thanks so much. What a fun picture to start the day.
Now for coffee and news.
OH, Wanda, BTW---don't know anything about who Officer Carroll is related to---maybe Margy will, but of course she's at work.
Eagle at TH - crystal clear picture there now! just gorgeous
Laura - Lib was just there. He departed to the upper branches of the tree.
GRAND KIDS in FL called!!---so excited!---WISH they lived closer!!
When incubating, you will mostly see one eagle at the nest, unless it's time to switch, or Lib brings in food, branches or fluff.
Is the male eagle bringing food to the nest?
Okay thanks for the info!
Laura - we have another new egg in the nest. Laid around 2:30 yesterday. Incubation is now in full swing.
Yes, he delivered a nice fish yesterday evening!
And that is K81 at the TH nest
Good morning!
♥♥♥HAPPY VALENTINES DAY♥♥♥
Just took a peek in.....off to read the paper.
Judie, glad you are back from the north woods. Did Lily let your hold her baby? So jealous!

There we go. Both in the nest. Was that a hunk of food he brought?
If that were food, Belle would be chirping at him, getting up and taking the food! Lib munching on nestovers.
Wonder when they are going to unearth that frozen fish? :)
Belle up and outta there, time for a break....roh ruh, there goes Lib after her...
BEagle!---I am assuming you work at the capitol!!---I worked there several years ago!---I so enjoyed living in CHARLESTON!
Looks like Lib back
Hunker down old man. That is Lib, is it not?
Paula knows who is who. I'll get there.

Good Morning everyone and Happy Valentines Day to each of you.

You probably were a child then--Worked there in summers between school & later full time!--husband grad. of MORRIS HARVEY!!--(now UC)!!---probably before you were born!---now live in ROMNEY--oldest town in WV!!
There are a great many viewers watching this pair. They probably read the blog too!
How many eagle cams like this run across the country?
PAULA!---How was your evening--babysitting?---I really envy you!
Well, I'll be!
My son is at WVUTech. And I'm old enough to be his grandma.
I attended Morris Harvey also!!!
Good morning!
Slept in this morning after not sleeping much last night. So far, I'm scheduled to go back to work tomorrow.
Margy, I loved the snowshoe pictures. I think we all need a pair--or at least most of us--maybe not our California folks.
Lynn, I used photoshop.com for the caption. I learned about it in one of the on-line classes I took last fall.
Judie, I am glad you enjoyed the Lily pic. I had fun with it.
I am having all kinds of trouble with the live cam link.
♥♥♥♥ Happy Valentine's Day ♥♥♥♥
I have no idea BEagle!---We have been watching since 06!---There are still many--many of the orginial crew here!----We share so much--have talked about many subjects--prayed with & for each other!!---Welcome!!
BEagle - there are a dozen or more eagle cams...
Norma - had great fun babysitting the boys yesterday!
BEagle, go to www.beakspeak.com to see a list of bird cams, including eagle cams.
I have shut down the cam link. Something is causing my computer to freeze up.
The Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing used to be out there where you are!!! They are here now.
Small world.
Happy Valentines Day everyone! Did I read there is a second new egg in the nest? WOW
Small world!
Stronghunter. I trust you puter is ok now.
Mine was fine early this morning then it just froze and had to reboot.
I asked my son about using two browser......if that would help. He didn't think it would make a difference.
Would love to make a pair of good smelling pine snowshoes - but I wouldn't plan to use them. I would sink into the snow drifts! lol
Shirley, your Lily pic and comment has cracked me up - I hope Judie sees it.
Nothing planned for the day.. Just looking out and being snow blinded.
I can only get the Live Feed up on IE
Everything else I view is on my Firefox. I'll settle for jumping back and forth or when I tire of that I'll just put everything over on IE - But I love my firefox.
I hope you get a chuckle out of this.
I finally realized Lib's name was short for Liberty. Is that right?
The WV SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF & BLIND is still here---It's just that they have integrated most of their students into public schools!--The only students here now are handicapped & unable to go to public schools!----I taught a couple of years there when my children were young---
My son uses G. Chrome (spelling may be incorrect).
I love Mozilla also, but IE isn't too bad on Windows 7.
YEP!--that right!
phyfly. unless I missed it I think i am the only one who has shared on here anyway the thought that both eggs might be after the last blizzard. I think most if not everyone else thinks one is the 3rd unviable egg and the other is a 4th egg for this clutch. I may have seen a comment that perhaps there is an old egg and egg one of a new clutch. Are you confused yet ? LOL
Not much doubt though that we see her sitting on 2 eggs. We all agree with that one :-)
Teaching must have been challenging and heart wrenching.
MORNIN' MEMA JO!---I was so brave that I got off the hill yesterday & LOADED UP with food!!---(first time in 10 days) We still have TONS of SNOW!!---expecting more tomorrow???----These PLOWS are costing a fortune!---but who cares!
JO---Help me out----how many EGGS is BELLE setting on now??---bless her heart!
I use a lot of old phrases and one of them is "Well, I'll be!"
Now think about it. What do you suppose I thought when I first saw Libs name?
L....I.....B.
are you laughing yet?

amen?
No amen here....
Wow that is a little confussing...either way there might be a posibility that at least 1 egg is viable? I guess I have been away too long.
BEagle!---Oh no!!---Must treat them the same as children with sight!---They must learn to live in the real world!!---After a while you forget they are blind--I wasn't around the students at the School for the Deaf!!---
Do eagles have clutches of 4 eggs? Or is the start of a new cluth?
MORNIN' MEGAN!---I second your 'NO AMEN' too!
I think at least a dozen eggs have been laid....just kidding....nest is going to be crowded....I'm also thinking along the lines of Glo, maybe one was laid when we were not watching, and the second yesterday, so hopes for 2 viable eggs at this point, a month or so from now it will all be revealed...
A good review of the clutch was by TJ sometime in the middle of this thread.
BEagle---I still take the 'CHARLESTON GAZETTE'---to keep up with things in Charleston! ho!
yes, TJ, has had some good reviews....enjoy his comments.

Norma in case no one answered your question about the # of eggs - We
can see 2. I was over cleaning out my emails. Lots of pretty ecards for valentine's day.
Thanks you Jim!
I found TJ's post about the clutch and copied it over.
TJ said...
Hello again evryone! Just signed on and was skimming through posts and to my surprise, it appears Belle has laid another egg! Just wanted to make a quick comment regarding a few of the remarks I saw posted. In my opinion, it is highly doubtful that this new egg is the start of a second clutch. All the pairs that we have seen re-clutch generally take a few weeks for their "system" to reset. I think it is much more likely, however AMAZING, that this new egg represents the 4th egg in the original clutch! VERY, VERY rare! Awesome news for you all! Hope the weather settles down now and is a little less brutal for Belle and Lib! Congrats to you all. You all always remind me of soon-to-be grand parents with all your excitement, LOL!
By the way, I really hope I am wrong and this is the start of a second clutch! With this pair, nothing would surprise me! Fingers crossed!
Gotta go. Goood-bye all!

Good Sunday Morning, and
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back home from caring for the bulldogs, and quiche about done in the oven--smells yummy!
Hope you guys have a great day today. Will be back later--the oven timer's calling me!
Love you guys! Keep an eye on Belle & Lib for me! BBL :o]
Norma...You must have like Charleston to subscribe to the Gazette. I'm not much of a paper reader but my family always got the Daily Mail.
It has certainly changed here over the years.
aNOTHER EGG!!??
Has Liberty 'warmed up' to this one??
I don't recall if I commented, but I was wondering after the loss of the first two if it is possible for eagles to extend the number in the clutch to compensate for eggs lost early in the series.
Don't know, but it might be that.
[:~D]
Jim
The clutch idea is certainly interesting. After TJ's post, it certainly gave me a lot of questions about it too!
What the purpose is. How do they know. It's like a fight to keep laying eggs until there is something hopeful.
If anyone knows about these clutches, share! Share! Share!
Blogger cop alive and well (?). He repeated Norma very late...duh!
Jim, with all of us as your galfriends, we got you back in to the Valentine mood, huh?
The army guys' snow shoes were certainly unique! Hope he was able to keep them on!! One article in paper said that the snow is too deep even for snow shoes.
Still cam still down.
Feeding at Carolina
Yes, Liberty has been incubating
Hedgie- Herald Mail story about Deputy Thomas Carroll Berkeley Co. deputy struck by car while directing traffic
Just got Valentine greetings from Big Rig Steve! Check you inbox....LOL!
It's good to hear that Officer Carroll is doing fine. Thank you.
Hedgie, I don't believe it's possible for the snow to be too deep for a good pair of snow shoes.
They were invented to keep you on the top of the snow, and the depth of the snow doesn't matter. [:~D]
Jim
Norma, UAW Local 1590 (the autowowrkers' union that the hourly folks at our GM plant belong to) do all kinds of things at the school in Romney. Pizza parties, Christmas parties complete with Santa and gifts, picnics, etc. It is their #1 activity :)---after political action, of course...:(
On my pic of the icy steps with birdseed in the ice.
Wanda, you commented about the birdseed on the steps giving me some traction there. I was afraid to find out. It looked too dangerous.
Kitty Litter is good traction BUT
I wouldn't take a chance to prove it!
Jim - I still think that I would SINK but I agree with you about the snowshoes purpose.
Incubation time is slow isn't it. Not too much going on until they take turns and eat.
Belle and Lib are focused on their duty. Did you see him push the one egg right next to the other? Touching.
Jim, I've never tried snow shoes, so don't know----just going by what person in paper article said.
Thanks, Megan, for update. Sounds better than what we heard last night from Margy! Prayers for his quick recovery.
Article in todays Herald print edition about an off-duty local officer who saved a young lady's life in an accident in early Dec. She's alive, but not a good outcome for her. So sad.
Does anyone have pics of the new egg or of Liberty incubating it??
I'm still having troubles getting it through my head that this is a new egg.
[:~D]
Jim
Don't get the Herald, Hedgie.
What was the sadness of the young woman.
I bought some of that expensive ice melt that is supposed to be safe for pets and lawns, and we have been using that conservatively, but I left it to Will and Hunter to get the ice off of those back steps.
The skies are icy blue - beautiful.
The wind makes it sound colder than it is..not that it isn't cold.
BWE is getting a large dry spot around the egg cup.
Snowshoes rule! Wish I still had mine from when I was younger.
Lunch time for me
Olympics on at 1pm

By the way, there is no indication of what caused the mosquito net effect of last night. Even enlarging the view didn't offer a good reason for it.
There's a white dot in front of the eagles upper left wing. Was that an older egg?
Egg roll, not a great glimpse, but think I saw both eggs. That looks like a snow ball in front of her.
what do they do with the old eggs?
I think it would just stay in the nest until it got broken or kind of dried up, Some birds throw old eggs out of the nest, not sure eagles do that.
New thread
Old non-viable eggs - usually stay in the nest.. Once there was an egg in a nest that the hatched eaglet (Eggbert)fledged and the old egg was still there.
I see the white spot but even at full screen I can't be certain if it is an egg or a snowball. I'll go for the snowball.
This is a new experience for all of us as to what we are seeing. Most of us are guessing but next season we'll be able to talk about it with a bit more knowledge. You know - Live & Learn
There appears to be a
