Saturday
The perseverance of these eagles is best noticed today, as the snow continues to fall and the nest continues to accumulate more snow. Remember that this is more than a month earlier than the last time weather caused disaster for the nesting season. Even if they give up on this egg, (which I doubt) there is plenty of time for additional eggs. Keep your fingers crossed.

1 – 200 of 506 Newer› Newest»Shirley thanks I sent Hanna an e-mail
keep the faith.
do you think he will anser you????
thanks for the call over Ceil....going to get another cup of coffee, I will be like Jack Hanna soon
Wow, Ceil, you are quick. I hope he answers. I would like to think he's open-minded enough to listen. I am sure he has assistants who gather info for him.
Thanks Ceil and Steve.
Isn't this the first time a black bear giving birth has been seen on camera? Lots of people can learn from Lily.
I hope he answers also. Been too the Columbus zoo It was snowing and we had a good time.
Margy I am going this time. LOL
And since so many people watched the birth, there are lots of us to set Jack straight.
We are in some really heavy bands of snow again here and at the nest. Going to be another very long day. We will easily have 30" of snow if it keeps snowing all day like they say it will.
I feel so lucky to still have electric so far.
We are exhausted but determined not to lose the gh, had we not stayed up all nite cleaning it off, it would already have collapsed. The roof is the next thing to deal with. Ain't this fun?
Heading back out with coffee... and cookies
Thanks STEVE for the SNOWY THREAD! & THANKS for your words of WISDOM---You have made my day much nicer!!---LUV YA!
Hit the refresh button, and now I have lost the live feed.
Okay, got the live feed back.
It is snowing so hard here.
Thanks for the new thread, Steve.
The dedication and perseverance shown by Liberty and Belle continues to amaze me. I have nothing but pure admiration for them.
good Ceil, get Hanna straigtened out!
MORNIN' CEIL--MITS--SHIRLEY!
MEGAN--I truly wish I lived closer---I would at least bring you cookies!--ho!---PLEASE DON'T OVER DO---OK?
Hey there NORMA and all others. I finally peeked in again and cauhfg up on the blog to see what was happening. Norma, you had better watch out you don't fall in the snow and disappear!
My heart goes out to you all in this snowy mess. May you all keep your electic on and be careful shoveling too much at one time. Wish I could be up there to help you out.
My weather radio has not made a sound through all of this. I wonder if it is still set correctly. It should have gone crazy by now.
I do feel alot better seeing one of the eagles on the nest and reading that they are both ok. That is the most important!
PAULA---Wouldn't we all do the same?----MOTHER NATURE is a good teacher!
Very early in the season. Plenty of time for more eggs. In fact we all know she either laid one last night or is due anytime given the date of the first egg. I agree she will in fact sit there and incubate. We may get a miracle "which is definatly what it would be" or we may never actually know once we do get a hatch which eggs did or did not come and when. Only hoping and praying them thru the storm and a family to raise when all is said and done.
I too remember Tesoro sitting for 50 days caring for that egg, AND I also remember Maine either that year or the one before that with all the drama at their nest. Frigid horrible weather and tremendous storms. Pretty much no hope that any egg would hatch and surprise surprise they hatched 2. A NorEaster took them both out a week or so later which was horrible but when no one thought an egg could have survived all that cold, snow and lack of incubation, there were 2 eaglets.
So ya just never know. And that nestbowl wherever it is is still being cared for as best they know how.
MORNIN' CANDY---Our day is always nicer when you drop by---Do you folks have any SNOW?
MORNIN' GLO & DEX!---Pray your weather is better than ours!!
I hate to answer you NORMA. We have had nothing but more rain. Prtty soon we'll just be a swamp area. Water is laying all over. My heart and prayers go out to all of your and our eagles. I think if there is any snow it is west of us and then north east.
I mean north west
Shirley, my NOAA radio is the same. If I put it on continuous, it's there squawking, but no alerts/warnings, etc. No red light flashing....so it's them, not us!!
Signing on here on PC to post pics to my blog.
It was my understanding that the Lily cam is the first "in-the-wild" witness to a birth.
Have been reading the blog and now having trouble getting the cam up. I have had it up, but just have the turning arrows now. Drat!
Morning! Nothing "good" about it for you nor for Belle and Lib.
So sad to hear there was snow in the egg cup. Was hoping for insulation. Cam up now!!! Scared me!
Also, glad you reported there was a changing of the guard. Checked on BWE too. The last picture that was on their cam last night was scary to say the least.
Megan, Megan, Megan....how I wish we could all march on over to your place and help out. Jack and I would be there in an instant to help. Please know there is love, hugs and prayers there with you.
Megan has posted a picture of her greenhouse on facebook. Perhaps its on her blog too. Every bit as hard to look at as our nest. I am anxious to see someone post that the storm is letting up and heading out to sea. :-(
Good morning Lolly. Yur sun sure brightens up this blog.
Yes Megan has pictures under her Whatever Blog.
I e-mailed Jack Hanna, too. He might as well hear from a bunch of us.
Good morning, Candy. Doing what little I can to brighten up the day!
Ceil, I have been smiling and chuckling over Jack Hanna. You emailed him! You go, Girl!☺
Time to go make some breakfast. Also have some work to get done.
Morning again, Thanks for the earlier reassurance that they can get food from the open river. Here's a smile for you all. I first happened upon the blog and followed along for awhile. Then later discovered the live cam. At the top it says : Conservation: EagleCam. In my excitement in finding the cam, I thought it said CONVERSATION: Eaglecam. And I thought, How appropriate, all that conversation about eagles. lol
Good for you, Shirley! I will do the same. Have been wearing my Lily t-shirt and feeling special that I was there for the birth. ha!
Schicke...how funny! Welcome to the blog. This is the friendliest, best-est blog around. Some real knowledgeable eagle folks and some of us who just love eagles, but are just learning.
Thanks Lolly, We have a pair of eagles at the cottage lake. They have adapted well to the summer people and can often be seen swooping down in the wake of boaters catching fish that are churned up in the boats wake. Apparently they get enough that way, as a pair of loons on the lake always manage to raise their young there too.
what did Winnie the Pooh used to say, ? "oh bother", I like staying in, but hate it when I am forced to stay in, hubby tried to get out the back door, didn't make it, told him to stop trying, no go to the double driveway either
I am so sorry I missed Ceil...I have been calling and calling (on here) for her...
Come back when you can Ceil...
Hello again all.
Appreciate Steve's open up statement, Thanks Steve for the new thread, picture, and your words
I had left my puter on all night, so I shut it down to refresh everything and restarted it.
But now I can't get the live feed to work right.
Kept reloading it, and for a while it was "up" except that twirling arrow kept twirling...
Now it won't do that either... I checked other "Outdoor" sites, but they won't load either. Guess they're having power problems.
Noticed BWE and Norfolk came through the storm with flying colors. Haven't checked any others yet.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Pics are taking forever to load.
Paw Paw has 44". Think I'm close to 36". Supposed to stop by late afternoon----hope, hope.
Oh No Mr Bill! What else can I say when I look at Our Eagle! Spectacular creatures - Keep the Faith is so true.
I really was afraid to take the first look. Thanks Bev for having a pic for me in my mail.
Have touched base with all children and everyone is home!
My live feed is down too :(
but the still cam pic is on :)
Have I seen our Jo this morning?
No, I have not
I am snow-cold right now, just cleaned the car off, shoveled behind it to get out, started it up and checked the heat pump handler out back...
My white greenhouse (my car) is about 1/100th the size of Megan's greenhouse
Congratulations on the baby, Sissy and family ♥
Thanks Lolly for letting me know about Megan's pic of gh - I haven't been over to FB yet...
OH yes I have seen our JO, showed up while I was composing
Hi Jo ♥
Read Ceil's post about seeing a "peregrin" in the alley out back, read it as "PENGUIN" thought she was really messing with us
☺ clunker eyes, mine
My live feed just popped back on :)
Schicke...a Loon! That is so fantastic. A lot of us on here watch a cam that is on a Loon's nest. You would probably like that. Where are you? What lake do you have a pair of eagle? Have you looked for a nest?
I did what Megan suggested, put live feed on IE (and also had still cam on there) and moved blog to Firefox...believe it or not I had continuous live stream for quite some time
I'm not going to be blogging on here much,
just please all know my heart is joined with all of yours through this nest crisis, and all the personal difficulties many are having with this historic storm
xo God Bless Us, Every One ♥
and Happy Birthday on the New Thread to our Precious Sandra
I was reading too fast - Thanks Glo
for letting me know about the gh pic.
Megan I hope you have lots and lots of cookies to get you through this!
I also wish you had closer neighbors who could get to you and pitch in to help! ((warm hugs to you))
Lynn, I also posted photos to my blog and the Momsters Album...much difficulty both places. Haven't checked to see if they went through yet.
Jo and owl monkey Hanna had on Letterman last night. I thought of you. It was so pretty.
Hi Margy. If a penquin shows up in my back yard I am out of here.
We cannot get our front door to open. Snow piled up. When we do get out we will have to go out the
back.
NO MAIL TODAY.
So did my live feed BUT I only have a pic - no timer Weird!
Went to fb and while there my cam expired and now having trouble getting it back on. Whoops! Have it now, you just have to keep trying over and over.
ps I also appreciate everyone's help with the live feed, that includes Paula and Jo and Jo's Ed and Jim ...it has all helped one way or the other
Photos did post:) Some from our yard on JUST FOR FUN and some of our eagles on WILD AND WONDERFUL.
OH yippee Ceil ☺
I shoveled a path from where I think the street is, to the cluster of mailboxes for the apts, and also the trash cans
Roadtrip is in order. Come on down!!! 41 and bright sunshine. No snow in my backyard, BUT it is a swamp. Not very pretty. Wondering how much lawn I have lost, as it has been a swamp for so long. Sigh........and this summer we are going to be praying for rain.
She isn't tenting like she was. How hard is it snowing?
Lots of immature red-winged blackbirds in my yard.
Wanda great pics. That egg is going to make it. It will be Deb's namesake.
Theres the wind. Maybe she is just giving her shoulders a chance to change position for a while. argh
Margy...when are you supposed to go to work again? And will you be able to get out? How far do you have to go to get to work?
The snow is diminishing in size of flakes but the wind has picked up Glo
Lolly -
when and if they call. 3 miles, city streets, if I can just get off the street
I expect to have to pull a shift sometime of another otherwise go back Monday 6 am
STEVE'S words are reassuring, but then we already knew how dedicated our Royal Couple is. If chicks don't come along, it won't be for lack of trying on Lib and Belles part! Hope our prayers helped...remember the SPARROW!
Well, I am going to keep my fingers crossed that they do not call. I want you home, safe and sound.
Wanda The pics are there and they say it all. Thanks!
Ceil I am so happy to see you!
Plow just came up into our circle.
A ray of hope! NO NOT REALLY!
Straight up the center to the top and backed it up and straight out he went.
Stupid! All this cleared was the center strip. Guess I could walk out to it and sled to the main road! lol
GOOD IDEA CEIL! If we think it is a female, we can call her DEB, if we think it is a male, we can call him PALMER:)
Wanda you are so right. Belle and Lib are the best. I still remember that March storm. I thought she was a goner and Lib kept hitting her to get the ice off.
Hello everyone -- can't really say good morning.
Steve, thank you for the new thread and for the reminder not to get too discouraged too soon.
Very funny story, Schicke. I think we all needed a laugh this morning. Welcome to the best blog ever.
Megan, I do wish I could be there to help with the gh. Our thoughts are with you. All the flowers in Spring will be especially beautiful this year.
Still snowing heavily here. Darth agreed, thank you Lord, to hire a hs teen to clear snow. With his age and health it would kill him -- Darth, that is.
Have cleaned myself up just in case we lose electric or I have to be rescued -- don't want to go out all stinky.
Guess Jack Hannah doesn't watch the Lily cam. I also hope he will respond with appreciation for learning what really happens.
Okay, going to use my time reading about domestic/family violence -- new topic for this semester requested by a student.
Everyone please stay safe and warm.
My live cam is up, and the timer is going, BUT she is not moving and I do not see snow, nor any sound.???????
I am still trying for live feed...
GOT IT WHoo HOo!
Wanda I love the male name.
LOL MeMa Jo we want pictures if you do that. Well I am going out to eat with a friend for brunch. Not sure if will head to the dam after that or come home for a nap instead. Think it depends on what the sun decides to do. I need more sleep but I also need to see the eagles
MORNIN' SUNSHINE!---LOLLY I love your AVATAR!---You should send some of your sunshine this way!--WE COULD USE IT!!
MARGY, if you can get up to GG's, I'm sure she would share her Chili and Ribs with you;) Maybe not the ribs...one of her favorites. Gene baked them till they were falling off the bone. Plenty of Chili left, I'm sure:)
Hope everyone can stay at home today and enjoy the beauty of this snow. I thik Bev's Tom is the only one out and about:(
Capt. just gave me his camera card and told me to PLAY AROUND with the photos he took outside. I think I will do that!
I am doing my best to do just that, Norma!
Hi, I'm back & Live when refreshed is 00:00---won't run. Nest looks really bad, guess no one was able to shovel egg well.
Like Steve said, ggood that it's early in season & they can lay more eggs in case Eggbert doen't make it.
And who coulda thought we'd be sad for an egg? And I'm wearing my St. Francis & Anthony medals!Shorty, our friendly squirrel, seems to be healing from belly lesions!
Just saw Belle move! She has been so still and there is no snow or wind. I thought I had lost the live cam. Do you have sound?
Hi all,
Best thoughts for your egg situation.
I got a weather report from someone near Blackwater:
Temp 30, wind 25 from NE; Wind chill 16; Gusts 45 MPH. Our eagles are sitting in about 12-13 inches.
Leaving for a while to read the paper, but will try to keep the cam going,
BBL
Judie, good idea...get cleaned up in case the electricity goes out. If we freeze to death, we don't want the undertaker to see us dirty!
My power went out momentarily about midnight, so it could happen again today and NOT come back on.
Lisa, was so happy to see your eagle looking so good this morning. Last night, she looked like a goner! ☺ And, we are so proud of our Hedgie having her egg picture put on there by you. Thanks!
Lisa, photos on my blog of eagles and our Momsters Album.
My blog: WILD AND WONDERFUL.
Thanks for your kind words:)
We, of course, wish for the best for Lord and Lady Baltimore.
Mason's latest update
MORNIN' MEMA JO!---I don't know what we are going to do with all the SNOW??---LISE said NPR says I have 36!---But think it is more this am!--ALL IS WELL AS LONG AS THE ELECTRIC STAYS ON!---I'm good!
Pics won't upload.......will try again in a little while.
GOOD MORNIN' LISA!---Thank you for your kind thoughts---So enjoy your BLACKWATER SITE!!----
Lolly, sorry for the delay in answering your questions. Living in southern WI, cottage is in northern WI. Have been unable to see nest,lake (Crooked Lake) is heavily surrounded by national forest. Loons are always out & about during non-fast boat hours, 4 pm to 10 am. Little ones riding on their back and later learning to dive. Fascinating!
CEIL---You must post HANNA'S reply!!---HEY GAL!---YOU GOT SPUNK!!
OK, I am all layered up...heading out!
Thank you Lisa for stopping by. As soon as I spotted Our nest this morning I went immediately over to Your nest our of concern.
Well 'it is what it is' is the saying we have and we'll deal with whatever is dealt. Thanks again.
Thank you Lisa...we hope the best for your parents and egglets too...
I put some pics on the Momsters album
Jo - they seemed to have gone up ok
blogging off that's the same as logging off, just logging off the blog...
going to check on live feed for me
Norma I haven't seen this much snow in years. With my memory I can't remember which year it was!
Thanks! I just added the buried egg photo to my cam page.
Going over to early morning thread
to read comments....
WOW! SCHICKE----Sounds as if you are living in 'HEAVEN'!-----Have you heard JOHN DENVER'S song-------ALMOST HEAVEN--WEST VIRGINIA!
We lay claim to that!---Your woods must be an awesome place--
Thanks, Schicke! How fantastic to have a cottage on such a lake. Eagles and Loons, cool!
Paula....will be waiting for the pictures, hopefully a video of the dogs in the snow.
Wanda, do not see snow coming down at the nest. Has it stopped?
good to see you, Lisa, thanks
this snow makes the snow we got the week before Chritsmas look like a dusting, and we had 30 inches on the back deck with that one...
Jo, it would be worth driving to WV in this blizzard to see you sled down the street.
Margy, hope you don't have to go in today or tomorrow. Maybe people will stay in and not be stuuuuuupid!
Put lots of seeds out yesterday morning thinking critters would burrow under the snow. No customers yet.
Hi again to everyone I missed along the snowy path.
Haven't had much luck with cams this morning so back to reading.
Haven't looked at the nest in a while and don't think I will for now. Just got back from Wal-Mart. City of Bedford has done a superb job of cleaning the streets and my neighbor across the street plowed out the driveway!
Lolly, Can relate to Lily as well. Have had bear on cottage roof for an hour in the middle of the night. And then sat in yard munching on corn in deer feeder. Also had opportunity to see Mama bear & 6 (YES SIX) cubs out in the woods. Not sure WV at the moment would be my idea of heaven lol - Though will remember not to whine when we get a couple inches of snow.
did a system restore back to Thursday, but cam doesn't even do the commercial now, says it is 0% downloaded, when I hit refresh it says 100% downloaded, but nothing, might come on for a few seconds, but that is it...I'm running IE7
Has there been any sign of Liberty this am.
WANDA---Thanks for sharing your nest pics!--THEY ARE GREAT!--I think the new little one is supposed to be named for our beloved DEB!
My live cam has little rotating arrow for now when it quits rotating I might get the ad
Wondering..has anyone talked to Suzanne this morning?
I wonder if I'll ever see a real live Owl Monkey!
The pics yesterday evening that Lynne had a link to had a hilarious pic of a snowy owl - it looked as though he were laughing.
Wanda lovely pictures all of them, I commented on the links
I have not talked to her yet, she told me to call if there was another egg, and think she is planing to work from home on Monday.
ok thanks Mits...I think I will ring her up
Safire, I have not seen Lib, but others did, I believe. They said there was a switch.
Schicke, your cottage sounds even better!!! Bears, eagles, and loons. I am so jealous. I am down here in Texas...no eagles, no loons, no bears. All I get are skunks, opossums and darn armadillos that think digging up my lawn is the thing to do.
But, have been to WV, have met these wonderful ladies, and have seen Belle and Lib in person. Love them all!
Yes, Safire,
We have seen both adults this morning, and both have done duty protecting the egg cup from more snow.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
I was going to leave to read the paper. Really will do that this time. lol
BBL
It's days like these i wish i had short haired dogs!
MORNIN' BLUEFIELD SHARON!---Does the BIG BLUE do well in the snow!!----I am anxious to see it!!
any sign of liberty at the nest
Jim, thanks for your response, like the way you sign your comments. :)
Okay, pics are on my Lair.
I don't know if you have seen the new variety of russet potatoes, which don't sprout "eyes", back there...
They're fine for a while, but about the time they would be sprouting they start to wrinkle, and if you bake them or microwave them, they have a strange fibrous layer under the skin, which is inedible. So, I've been throwing them away (while cussing mightily) for quite awhile.
Don't do that anymore. Wash them a bit, poke some small holes in them, throw them into a pot of water, bring them to a slow boil for at least five minutes ... depends on what you want to use them for afterwards. This process "rehydrates" them beautifully, and you can use them like any other potato...no more inedible layer. [:~D]
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Paula, I think short-haired dogs manage to shake a full load of wet all over you and everything else in the area anyway.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Lynn - I'm sure you're not going to grill anything today! My deck looks
the same as what I see in your Pics.
JIM, our favorite potato, at the moment, is a red skinned one with a golden yellow inside. Delicious flavor and looks pretty in a a casserole or whatever you put them in.
We are still getting snow here in the valley but I can't see it at the nest.
I know at night it is easy to spot precipitation but I can't be sure now.
Lots of wind here also.
I just had a nice telephone visit with Suzanne. Brought her up to date with things of the day...she has been watching all the television coverage and was concerned about anyone being out of power, e.g., the Baltimore area folks and other areas
1) She sends her hellos and love to all, and prayers for Liberty and Belle
2) she got home just ahead of the storm yesterday, got kittyfeed at the store and birdie seed (which was in the trunk of her car, she had to trudge out in knee-deep snow to retrieve it)
3) she picked up her repaired set of wheels yesterday afternoon
Suz is snug and safe in her roost ...and will be home on Monday, will work from home if her office is even open
So, there you have it....
xoxox
CALLED KLONDIKE ROSE:)
Happy Birthday Sandra! Sorry you can't go anywhere on your special day.
Maybe another day you can celebrate!
Still raining at NBG, but the male has arrived...change of guard?
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Wanda who is Klondike Rose?
Trees are getting really bent down in my neighborhood. I am wondering if we're about to lose some trees.
spoke with son in law in Morgan County, 28" and he's shoveling some 40" drifts off the roof....
Grandson James has not been on the planet for this kind of storm ever..jhis Dad says he is "in shock" at the amounts - he has not been out in it yet
..they are okay, have power
I'm checking into the pillows and blankies for awhile....
taking my prayers with me of course
xo
hope not Shirley..the tres
nice pictures Hedgie
ta ta for now
THE TREES.....
What does Hunter think of all this Shirley ?
I measured 24" here...
SORRY LOLLY, I wandered off for a while. Yes, it is still snowing here. No wind, right now, in fact it hasn't been very fierce at all.
Good Morning/Afternoon, Everyone!
Mighty glad to see Belle, and hear that both eagles weathered the storm! Not so sure about the egg, but it's not for lack of trying on Belle & Lib's part.
Hope everyone is safe and warm. Have been really concerned for Megan with the gh situation. Hope the gh makes it! Megan, how about a hot toddy!
It has been raining like mad here this morning--super bad at times.
Had no satellite TV for about 20 minutes at one point. Glad I have cable internet! Sis-in-law is supposed to join Bro-in-law in Palm Springs at a friend's house--he left early this am to go there. Was supposed to golf today, but bet that's cancelled. They're supposed to stay and watch the Super Bowl. We hope that either the rain stops soon, or that Sis-in-law stays home. The rain was SO bad, Hubby could hardly see to drive to the local Wal-Mart! We don't think the drive is worth the risk.
that is what hubby measured on the walk way, Paula, no mail today, so really does not matter, I got myself cleaned up too, just incase of a power outage
Xcel Energy Web cam - Lady Valmont the great horned owl is in the nest box - you can see her backside right now on the live feed.
http://birdcam.xcelenergy.com/owl.html
I am going from there to their eagle cam
MARGY!---I bet JAMES has never seen SNOW like this---Is he out playing in it?---COOL!
No one home in the eagle's nest
only been up for 4 hours, but am exhausted...somehow got the cam up again, still snowing there....Giant Foods are open in this area.....TV tells you don't go out, Giant says we are opened and stocked, ok, so who does a person listen to...:)don't need anything here, but have been known to walk to the Giant from here, when they was a storm, but was much younget than.:(
Mits I can't get hubby out yet to measure - Hopefully someone will
come to visit and shovel so I can at least open the door! lol
trying to keep up with everyone's pics....good ones, thanks, everyone:)
bless her heart---she isn't giving up!---
Taking a break for lunch....
and street clothes.. I really would love to see a switch.
BBL
I posted a couple of pictures of snow loaded trees. The one by the garage is mine. The other one is my neighbor's. It is a large tree that has engulfed a lamppost, usually full of birds. Really looks like it won't survive the storm.
told him the true accumulation is probably on the deck table, but he opened the door ,now he can't lock it....I did not ask him to measure, he was trying to get out for wood, I think, no go there. I suggest alot of things to him, to get ready for things, he sees the glass half full..I see the glass half MT...oh well, you all know the phrase;)
We have nearly 30" here. Gene stuck a yard stick in the snow. Photos on JUST FOR FUN.
think Jubby will have to leave Sunday as planned Mits?
This is crazy snow! Somehow we still have power, thank goodness. We can see no less than 5 trees back thru our woods that look like they are laying on or destined to hit the power lines. Snow is lighter now, but still accumulating. My guess is about 27" of snow now.
Finally got a spot cleared for the birds, they were frantic for seed.
Hunter was more interested in computer games when he was here, but he was out playing with friends once he got home. Kathryn got him an inner tube sled. I am sure he will like that.
Love the cardinal pic, Wanda. Got a laugh out of the "been shopping" one. Had not seen that before!
ok Megan good to see you check in
hoping hoping that power stays on and trees stay put or spring back up
200,000 folks w/o power in DC Metropolitan area
Hope Hunter has fun Shirley...
history in the making for a 10-year old adventurous lad
ok had my chow now to disappear a bit
Great pictures everyone
xo
Well, Shirley, obviously we are not going to see photos of JO sledding...maybe Kathryn will take photos of Hunter sledding:) We like looking at photos...it is how we get to know each other.
I have to do my roots...my blonde is showing through;) LOL
Just got in from almost 3 hours of shoveling...we're NEVER getting outa here! We have the cars dug out all the way around at least, and a path to the cars. Part of the patio. I took some pics...will post later.
We have, roughly, 30" give or take...lots of drifting, too, although the wind is only sporadically gusting, not really steady. Believe it or not, the huge plow is STUCK in the driveway. I hope to God Klye can get the backhoe out. Our drive is about 65 yards from where our cars are to the road. The truck is stuck further up, about 100 yards from the road. The road is completely covered anyway so not like we're going anywhere!
Megan, I feel for you girl. I hope you can hang in there til this stops.
Just watching the local news, and I can't believe the roads.
Prayers..
I would imagine with the amount of snow you're having even snowmobilers would not be able to navigate well. It is said everything happens for a reason, but cannot figure out the purpose of this continuing snowstorm and the havoc it is causing for so many of you. Will worry about you all until the crocuses bloom.
Stupid cam through me off the net! Logging back on.
Got pics and video uploading to FB, will put pics on blog, too.
Neighbor came by and snowblowed my driveway out to the street and the sidewalk...thanks goodness for friends and neighbors!
Gonna grab a bite to eat now...
Jim, haven't heard about those taters, but glad you found a way to save them!
Yardstick says 24" here but that is out back. Hope to get pics
Shirley, I laughed hysterically when I got hat picture of YOMAMA
BIN SHOPPIN. Didn't tell that it was on my blog. Afraid I will bore some with all my photos and cartoons. I love doing it and my family checks them out.
Headed back out with coffee and hot roast beef sandwiches, man cannot live by cookies alone:)
We saw a friend with a backhoe earlier, came up our lane halfway, hope he will be back eventually. Stay warm everybody!
confirmed - 3 eggs at norfolk
Shirley good pics
one last look...Lady Valmont !
wow, what a bunch of close up feathers
Gonna go run the dishwasher while we still have power. Then I think I will take a shower.
Congrats NBG.
Sorry I missed Lisa. She is such a great person and sure does love the everyones birds

Big Shake off
Eagle up and flapping!
Belle is up and shaking off
Belle is moving around, I thinkk Belle
So Sad - I can't see the egg cup
I hope someone has a video going...
Thanks, Ceil. They tell the story. I have some summer pics of that lamppost eating tree. It causes the lamppost to stay on almost all day.
Lady who first lived in that house loved to plant trees, but she had no idea of what she was doing. The trees she planted are taking over now.
That is one cold egg...in there somewhere!
Poor baby, wonder what she is thinking
She is just standing in the egg cup...took a couple bites of snow
i want to see another eagle and food NOW!
Jo, I have been videoing on and off...messed up the first one from this morning when she first got up and Lib returned...
Tears for our eagles
How could they begin to find that egg
Haven't uploaded any of them yet...
It does not look like it is snowing at the nest right now. It is snowing like crazy here.
It's still snowing, very fine, wind is blowing...
Yes, I see her feathers blowing.
Big flakes here.
The shake off was spectacular - Hope you caught it
By the length of the tail it looks like Lib to me. Hope Belle soon joins him. (could be wrong on the names)
I just wish they could both be there.
Wanda, I can't get your blog to open.....will have to try later.
Gal, don't do your roots NOW----what if power goes out in the middle of the job???
Meant to say earlier that cam "THREW" me off, NOT through! Duh...
Going to try to read papers online....sure that will leave a lot to be desired.
All is well here...made it to Summersville before the snow. We have about 10in here. I can't see the nest from my iPod I sure hope all is well. I remeber the last feb snow with the nest. If I remember rit it was the snow melt that caused the problem for the eggs. I am worried for this egg.
need rain at WV to get rid of snow - wish the live cam was working
good morning , should be working but I'm watching Lib instead.burrrrr.
safire the live cam is working...got to the front of the blog page, the link is on the right side of the page...scroll down some
Anne, that's Belle on the nest
