thanks Queen of the New Threads:)
just called Suzanne to let her know about the BWE chick, hoping when she gets to a computer she will see it, sent her some good pictures, also sent some to Lisa:)
Shirley, good capture of BWE! Send it to Lisa! Maybe you and Mits caught the same one, but Lisa can select.
Have a good day,Paula. Don't overdo!
Ceil, don't run off!!
Sorry about more snow your way, Dana2, but better than the "up to 16" they predicted for you yesterday!!
Good Morning - So thankful we got just the dusting - snow on car has melted already. Of course I really don't need to go anywhere today.
Thanks for the call over Ceil
Thanks for setting the automated thread while you're away Steve (As per Margy's remarks yesterday) Might be a good thing to have that as a feature all the time.
Welcome Laura - Thanks Mits for posting all the info concerning Snowflake and Dan (Valmont owls)
Hopefully they'll have another clutch.
I had sent a Congratulation's email to Lisa. Don't know how she does it but
she took the time to send a reply of 'Thank you' .
In about 3 weeks all this celebration will be for our nest!
chick in view again
Good morning, everyone.
Jo, I was babbling last night. Needed one of Lolly's Mojitos.
Lynn, exams next week, 100 online assignments to read this weekend, no help with anything.
As for the honor -- yes, it is special. Of course, I'm destitute from paying all the students to nominate me.
Dusting of snow here but now have lovely sunshine.
Shirley, I am so sorry about the laundry room mess but glad George is feeling better.
Speaking of laundry rooms, can you believe that the new washer has a leak? Not a serious leak but still...
Paula, hope all the snow has melted at your Mom's and the day will be much easier for you.
Not sure I understand what happened at Valmont -- territorial dispute with an injured owl and take it eggs were left unattended too long? Wish it weren't so.
Hi to all others here this morning.
Off to begin grading. BBL
Egg check - couldn't tell if it was rolled - looked mostly like fluff was being pecked at - but I was able to see the egg. Seemed to be mainly a stand up and stretch break
Good morning Judie and Kickngbird!
Keep focused Judie - lots of reading
and grading! I agree with Ceil about you have some very smart students who selected you for the honor! I don't believe you had to pay them... lol
I'm sure you just fluttered your eye lashes and that did the trick!
Off for 2nd cup of coffee and some
street clothes!
BBILW
Oh my, Judie. I am sure you have called the washer people.
just don't make things like they used to:(
02/27/10:
Chick Alert!
Our first chick hatched around 5:30 Friday night. So far it appears to be doing very well and getting its first meals.
We expect the second to hatch in the next couple days.
Thanks to all those sending in photos of our family.
The pic of BWE feeding is what I want
to see in our own nest in a few weeks!
Love those little gray fluff balls!
Good morning everyone. Good to hear there is a chick at BWE.
I got 2nd cup of coffee and was surfing the cams (penguin pool was being cleaned and clouded leopard cubs were sleeping in the incubator) BUT I didn't get my street clothes yet!
So here I go again.......
BBILW
morning Thelma;)
Whoops! Before I leave - Thelma I am glad to see you here this morning..
I sure hope you are feeling much better and I am praying for good test results for you!
BBILW
yes it is good news, Thelma, Blackwater is a wonderful place
Tsunami warning evacuation sirens sounding on Hawaii east coast---they have about 5-6 hrs.
well that is scary, Lynn:(
hope these people take the warning seriously.
chick must be pestering mom she keeps looking under her.
putting fluff over the fish at BWE..
THelma, how are you feeling this morning?? Did doc give you any idea of what he did or didn't find on scoping?
little chick at CRC all alone, looks up, than puts is head down.
Mits was just about to say CRC chick is alone
CNN having good coverage w/ lots of interesting info. A tsunami could even affect the western side of Hawaii. Airport in Hilo already closing.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A VERY GOOD MORN
TO YOU aLL ****

Jim
Hedgie, I read the tsunami can strike the coasts of most countries around the Pacific rim.
Especially islands and island continents like Australia. They travel very quickly and hit almost without warning. But many countries have pooled resources to build an early warning and measuring network.
Would you believe I typed all that and I haven't even had a sip of coffee yet?? MHC...WTTYL. ):~D)
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Belle returned, is throwing fluff at Lib.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Good morning! Watching CNN...terrible damage.
Enjoyed a great evening of reading. Need to do that more often. Sorry I missed TJ last night. He adds such good information.
Judie, congratulations! I read your first post about this, but just wasn't sure what you were telling us. How much did you pay them? ☺ No, seriously, that is a great honor. Proud of you!!!!
Up to 55 and we have bright sunshine. Hurts the eyes! Have grown used to dark, dreary days!
Got a good glimpse of the new little chick, but did not get a picture.
Fluff rearranging, egg rolling at our nest.
It has been raining on Catalina ... here too ... and whether she has laid an egg or not, WE female is tenting the nest. So, it looks like they are going to be satisfied with a half-size nest this year. I was wondering if they would wait until the whole top of the rock was covered with sticks and fluff or not.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Jack has gone out to work in the yard, Wow! Guess I best get busy and get with it myself.
Have a great weekend!
Guess I best head to WE!
Jim, so happy with all the nest/bird reports out there. Wishing them all a successful year.
eagle at Hornby...estimated egg laying is Mar 22-28
Some of the highway/bridge scenes look like Northridge, Jim.
Heading to Lynchburg. Catch ya'll on the flip side. : )
Evacuating the dolphins in Waikoloa---guess there's an aquarium there.
feeding at BWE..
Mits, did you get a good look at the BWE egg? It has a good crack in it. Got a pic.
yes,been watching it all morning, told Lisa it looks like the hatch could happen sooner rather than later, I think she laid these 2 closer together, but just can't remember how close
Posted a feeding pic of BWE on Eagle pic blog
it is such a nice view at BWE, wish it could refesh sooner, or be live, but a good view none the less:)
I tuned in on BWE and to my surprise, the chick was having lunch! I had forgotten how small they are when first hatched. Oh, to see such a big, awesome bird be so gentle, just stirs the senses! Nature at it's finest! We have seen Nature at it's worst many times, but now we see it at it's finest!
Quick visit.
Hi Thelma. Hope you get to feeling better soon as in NOW!
Thing about Hawaii and a tsunami is there just isn't much of anywhere to escape to -- I suppose people head up into the higher elevations of mountains and high volcanic rock formations. Prayers that no one is hurt or killed and animals are protected. Hang on tight Andy and Jim -- advisory warnings for U.S. west coast.
Jim, can't wait to read how chatty you will be after your coffee -- good morning!
Jo, I truly wish fluttering my 65 year old eye lashes would work -- those days are memories. Only fluttering these days is trying to keep my eyes open.
Used the washer this a.m. with no leak. Strange.
Back to reading/grading - painful experience.
Need to check critter cams sometime soon. Missing all the action.
BBL
for sure Wanda, and I have a part in my heart for BWE, since I have visited there, and Lisa is so generous in her sharing info with us...
Judie, maybe the washer went potty:(
Helen, I was just thinking about the clarity of BWE cam, thinking it must have cost a great deal of money. Wonder why they couldn't have sound and live feed?
Our cam seems to be low quality, but that is better seeing as how we have live feed and sound. I prefer to have a lesser picture with live feed. That 30 sec. thingy drives me crazy! Duh, duh, duh........
Mit!!!!! lol
Have mailed a pic to Lisa.
Up now to 60!!!! Need to head outside.
BBL
Judie, your 65 yr. old eyelashes are very pretty...I have a photo to prove it, BUT, it is on my old computer:(:(:(
When I retrieve it, I will post it!
You ARE a SUPER person and that is why you were honored as such!:)
LOLLY...60°? Don't want to hear it!
I'm working on putting things away in my newly re-arranged office. I just hung up DEB'S calendar and it truly brought tears...can't believe that such a fine person has been taken from us???
On a happier note...I have placed that BEAUTIFUL paper weight that Margy gave me with the image of an eagle etched inside, on my desk:)
Love it Margy:)
got some things to do, ttual....yes I like our live feed, does still have some bugs in it I thought would have be taken care of by now, but you know, it is what it is...
Hi everyone. Been lurking since this morning. Also looking at BWE and it sure looks like the second chick is looking for a way out.
I had 3 eagle cams open at once and checking back to the blog has left me dizzy. Call me dizzy di.
Judie, you so funny! I love your posts. Congrats on the good seats.
Thelma sure hope all is well with you.
Shirley I hope by now your day is going better.
Oh, Judie, the new washer I believe you said it was a front loader. I have one too and it spits and spurts sometimes when I open the door and before I can wipe the rubber gasket. Maybe? Hope it's nothing serious.
So sorry to hear about the owls. I did see one sitting on the perch outside the nest. Hope for the best.
Terrible about the earthquake. Our former son-in-law's family was from Chile. I just sent him a message on fb and hope their family if okay. Jim & Andy watch out for high water.
... later
I am hoping that the bugs our live feed has, have not been fixed yet because of all the snow and bad weather we have been having.
It really is aggravating to have it stop every few seconds and BUZZZZZ so much. But at least it moves:)
It's nice to have Lily cam without the hum, too!
Yesterday I got a call from Christine and played the guessing game because Patrick had just called her from work.... I knew that the sights for reassignment that were turned down were in MD and VA. So I named NY
no .... GA ... no.. then I said North Carolina YES !!!
Ft Bragg! Here is her comment on FB:
The cat's out of the bag, we got Fort Bragg!!!! We are so happy now we are just keeping our fingers crossed that we will get out of here before another deployment!
The next news will be their date for leaving Germany and you know what - it could be as early as Nov 2010.....
It is only a 6 1/2 hr drive to see her and the family.
Love you all and thanks for the reassignment prayers!
Jo ♥
Wanda when I was at Blackwater I asked the lady about live feed. She said it is too expensive.
Getting ready to get ready to go to Mass. Then Catonsville family coming up to take us out for dinner - We chose the Out Back!
I'll be in touch upon my return!
BBL ♥
Closer to our family than I realized:
My niece's son is in the Coast guard stationed in HI - Here's the lastest
Garrett has moved to "high ground" in Maui, awaiting the tsunami....he has EMT status, so he stayed on shore to help in case of injuries. He said if it's what they expect, some of the swanky hotels will have the first couple floors under water. We'll have to wait and see. Val(my niece) talked with him and shared the news. I(grandmother) texted him first thing this morning when I heard, but did not hear back from him. She said he has his phone off (saving the battery) and in a safe, waterproof place, hoping to be able to use later.
We are watching Fox News, which will be broadcasting live from Hawaii. Should happen in about 4 minutes.
Prayers for him and all affected by this severe weather.
Off to Mass is a few minutes.
Have the atlas out. Have been to the Big Island. Stayed on the west coast but drove all around the island. Drove to Hilo. Watching to see what happens.
High today was 64. Starting to cool off a little. Worked and got a little done, but Jack's back would not allow us to do a whole lot.
Mema Jo...NC is great news!
watching hawaii on CNN..prayers to everyone there
THis stuff is so interesting to me. When I was a kid, I only wanted to be a meteorologist....was told I didn't have the needed math/science smarts! Boo....
Jo, hope your family member will be safe.
Wonderful news about Patrick and family!!
Well, poop.....it is snowing again...
I don't know about the other Hawaiian Islands, but we were on Oahu, and it is very small. I think something like 2 miles wide and not very long. I would think it wouldn't take much to wipe that Island off the map! It's just a WAIT AND SEE SITUATION...prayers for all, that they come safely through this emergency. Prayers for the families of Chile.
Lynn, would you like to be with a group that tracks tornados?
BWE BEGINNING TO FEED CHICK.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Yep, Wanda, I would enjoy storm tracking!
Hahaha. Belle was totally covered in fluff she was trying to pull around her.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
This eaglet is being well-fed! And will continue to be, I'm sure. #2 will be the one who has to fight for his share when he comes.
Good Evening Everyone in Eagleland. Haven't read a word yet.
Nothing real exciting naturewise at Park today, but they had a big show yesterday! Greg, our naturalist said a female eagle was eating a fish on the osprey platform & a juvie kept harassing her. She chased him away. Later she left & 2 other juvies came to fuss over the fish, so they saw total of 4 eagles!
Also learned that thrush I posted as a Wood is really a Hermit Thrush. Lynne2, you were right~~~they do migrate.
Heard about earthquake at work & prayers for all & those who may be affected by tsunamis. Never heard of over 9. before!!
Hello everyone
First, prayers for all those affected by the earthquake and impending tsunami and other effects from the earthquake
Relentless, these things of nature
Good news about The Germany Gang...hoping the move to stateside will be swift and sweet
Adult owl perched outside the nest box at Valmont....with the three pretty little eggs in the box
Valmont Great Horned Owl Cam
ooops owl might be on the move out now.....
Great pictures from Lolly and Shirley on the BWE nest today.
Thanks Ladies ☺
yep the adult owl flew off
:(
Shirley
If a coulda I woulda been at your bird feeders today.
Maybe, a mockingbird? Or a towhee ?
first would be about the right size, second has somewhat similar colors
Hi Loretta,
sounds like a good food fest at the platform today ☺
and Judie
Congratulations again, somewhat belated...sorry I sort of missed the first announcement....and tried to read through the lines on the other ones...Very Good Choice by your athletes, Bravo, again!
The Night Bandit....he is the one that steals away the evening when I am on the 6 am to 6 pm shifts....
It will be the Day Bandit when I switch to the opposite shift, 6 pm to 6 am
So if you can catch him OR HER - it would be much appreciated.
Its name might be COMPUTER
Need to disappear for a little while
beback nodoubt sometime
Might be hard to see the full moon with all these clouds hereabouts
:(
gasoline prices sure have gone up recently
:(
Margie,
Not a mockingbird. I know them. They try to take over our yard in the summer. Don't know about the towhee, but all I saw was black and white. I will have to keep looking.
Hi Margy! Yes, gas prices have been going up here as well. Up and down, up and down! $2.56 is what I saw, I think.
Have really been lazy. After working in the yard I read and then took a short nap. Dinner cooking now. Jack is grilling pork chops and I have thrown a potato in the oven. An easy meal!
Did send the picture to Lisa. First time I have done that.
Yea, Jo. Know how excited you are to have your family come home. Did you say it will be November? Still have a wait!
Well, maybe it WAS Me Shirley...
or some other kind of strange variant
lots of drama in the laundry room ... hope all is well now...
had to laugh about the upside down view on the monitor...can't ever say that has happened to me...yet !
xo
looked at pics along the way while I was reading the posts...THEN I got to your post about sending it to Lisa, she is very appreciative, for sure, that is her style ☺
gas prices here $2.79 :(
Upside down computer screen. . . . This was the first time it had been upside down. It had been sideways a couple of times.
I had put the laptop in a chair today. Maybe George walked across the keyboard, or maybe I just hit the keys when I moved the computer. The first time it happened was at school and a helpful(?) young man came and fixed it.
I remembered that he said something about the arrow keys, which was helpful the second time it went sideways (George does like to walk on the keyboard) because I called for Will, but he wasn't sure how to fix it. I didn't see exactly what he did, but I told him about the arrow keys.
It is hard to use the mouse when the screen is upside down.
Never had that happen to me, Shirley. Have had the task bar move and not know why.
Annie has never walked across the keyboard. I have it on my lap and she carefully walks across my chest as I sit her in my lazyboy.lol
Evening, all!
Jo, glad the Germany gang will be fairly close...there could be worse places!
Sounds like our nest was fairly quiet today.
Glad to hear the BW chick had a couple of meals! And the second on the way!
Heard about the earthquake and Tsunami warnings this morning before I left...haven't heard any news all day.
Just read that most places have dodged the tsunami bullet...still warnings for Japan, Russia and pacific islands
Egg roll our nest
Raining at PH
I have seen an upside WMP but not the whole screen. The taskbar can accidently get dragged with your mouse...
Everything fine down at Mom's, deck was down to just a foot of snow...brothers took care of that. Got all the floors and bathrooms cleaned.
Had a surprise phone call on the way home this afternoon. DIL is in the hospital with kidney stones. The went in around 2am this morning. The pain was so bad, she was having contractions, which stopped when they got the pain under control. She is still there and will be there until she passes it. They have her on an IV, drinking fluids, walking. Pain meds go in thru IV, she was happy the last dose lasted over 6 hours.
They don't want to send her home cause they can't give her anything strong enough (and safe for baby) to manage the pain at home. So she will stay there until she passes the stone(s). No ultrasound until tomorrow to check the stones progress.
So I stopped and stayed at hospital with her this afternoon into the evening.
She will be OK, just not fun being in hospital.
If she stays past Monday, I'll take Tuesday off to watch the kids.
Paula, did you accomplish all that you set out to do today?
Watched the tsunami coverage today. It was very interesting.
lol You answered while I was asking!
Glad we got the deck cleared of snow, a realtor came by today while we were there to show the house...wet floors and all...so had to redo some, but that was OK. Nice young couple with cute kid. My brother said that's the kind of family I would love to see buy the house...I agreed.
Oh, so sorry about your DIL. I have forgotten, how far along is she? When is the baby due?
I am sure it helped to have the couple see that the house is being cared for.
Oh Paula, sorry about your daughter-in-law's ailment, sounds painful and uncomfortable....
hope everything will be back to normal very soon...
sounds like a good day at the house...
Why not take Tuesday off anyway and have fun with the kids ☺
xo
Want to enjoy yourselves?
The Eagle Cam Gallery at BWE has been updated with some adorable eaglet pictures...I see the names of some or OUR photographers on there. Bravo !
Hot Dog!
The Trains of Christmas
display at the Hagerstown Roundhouse Museum has been extended until March 15.
I feel like missed Christmas, think I will take James Sunday...
I asked for and got the day off ☺
Shirley, when the computer screen is upside down it helps to turn the mouse upside down -- works better that way.
Mits, if the washer went potty, it had best get itself potty trained and soon! I don't pampers.
Margy, the night bandit is a notorious thief and strikes often and without warning. It also has the ability to change its M.O. without notice -- may strike day or night. I have issued a BOLO and anyone who spots this bandit is authorized to shoot to kill. Will also issued an APB effective throughout Wild and Wonderful WV.
Prayers for all affected by the tsunami.
BBL to say goodnight.
Have seen the pics, Margy. She got mine! ☺
Cute little eaglet....those eyes are so prcious!
Shirley, remember the arrows are right next to the Roman Numerals
Oh Paula, your poor d-i-l, hope she passes it soon.
went to see the Grand kids this afternoon, with all the snow it has been a challenge to get to see them, everyone is fine:)
Yes, Lolly, those are some great pictures, saw yours, Helen, Lynne, which might be our Lynne2, Vicky C, hmmmm, whose else did I see?
Thanks Judie! Tonight, I say Just Try It Night Bandit! It doesn't matter tonight ! It's a miserable thief when it strikes though
Think I am going to put my nose in the kindle. lol
This would be my first year with the digital camera for the Train Museum....
have lots of pictures from year's past though...
Perfect day for a visit, Mits.....
just know you had a great time, golden for sure.....
Paula, sorry your daughter-in-law is hospitalized and in discomfort. I hope she will be able to leave soon without the stone and without the pain. Also nice a young family looked at your mom's home. Would be nice to have another generation grow up there, I'm sure.
Belle is sawing logs, and Lady Blackwater seems to be moving around quite a lot, maybe a restless little eaglet underneath
just won't settle down ☺
haven't checked too many other cams tonight
whoever came up with the term Grandkids/children sure had their act together....!
guess the same goes for Grandparents....
Hi everyone.
Paula prayers your dil passes the stone quickly. She is due in April?
Hey Margy and Judie and sister.
Going to call it a night. Restful sleep to all
Oh, PAula, so sorry for your DIL. What a miserable thing to have to deal with. Is her due date in April?
Shirley, I keep laughing about your upside down screen....have had lots of weird things 0on my puters over the years, but never that!
One of the things that bugs me like crazy is when I end up with a magnifier on my PC---don't know how it happens, and can never figure out how to get rid of it short of rebooting!
Paula, how awful for your D-I-L to have kidney stones along with the discomfort she must be having now, being so great with child! Maybe she will pass the little girl, along with the stone. What part of April is she due?
Prayers that her stone passes right away!
Ajay is 32 weeks...8 more to go...due April 23. I didn't realize this is the second time she has had kidney stones...first time was right after she and John started dating.
Judie, think I heard that BOLO! LOL!!
Hope your washer has stopped leaking for good. And remember to wipe gasket dry after use and leave door open to eliminate the mold and odors that are making the headlines.
Mits, so glad you got to spend time with the little ones. Is Maggie completely recovered from the pneumonia?
No, Wanda, we can wait to see her!
Shirley, did I tell you that my new computer has ROMAN NUMERALS?
I paid extra for that:)
When John called and said they were at the hospital...I was hoping it wasn't for the baby!
Egg roll...seems the winds have calmed down some.
Helen, glad you got to see your grandkids! How big is Ben now?
I mean size wise...I know he's 4 months...
That makes her nearly 2 months away from due date...too soon now.
I had Karla a month early, no problems with her, except she was a little bit of a sour baby. Had to stand on your head to make her laugh! She laughs very easily and often now:)
Goodnight, dear Ceil! BTW--do you know what the word is for trimming with fur lining?? Yep----CEIL!
I think it's time to see new photos of the KALIS KIDS. I can still post photos, Helen:)
Nite, Ceil:)
Margy, Train (OH-OH!!That word!)museum is so neat. Enjoy! Sure wish I had pics of my daddy's train lay-out. It was gigantic; not little HO's, either!
Lynne 2 said she has had her unemloyment checks extended for 25 weeks, so now, she is "just a little bit down".
Prayers that she can get her GROOVE BACK ON:) Miss her.
when getting a snailmail birthday card ready for a nephew today, meant to write
To a Great Nephew, got distracted and wrote To A Great Neighbor!
He's 30 or so, guess he will get a kick out of it..he's in California
Good Night Queen of the New Threads ♥
Jo---are you home yet? Do you have an Aussie accent??
Hmmm, long as I'm sending out a BOLO, might as well send one out for the shiney garland. BOLO ALERT NOW IN EFFECT.
Lynn, how's the tooth tonight? Just a little better?
Yep, wiping out the gasket area and leaving door open. Not sure I like the new washer but better than a wash board.
Goodnight, Ceil.
I think I'm going to sign off for the night. Can't seem to get enough sleep.
GOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIENDS
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Just made my date with James for the Train Museum. We had model trains all the while growing up, brother in Frostburg (now maybe headed to Colorado) - still maintains a great layout...
JUDIE...the shiny garland has been found...look at my JUST FOR FUN blog:)
How's James ears, Margy?
He will love the trains!
I am also going to head for the pillows and blankies and do a little reading before sleeping
Best wishes for a good night's sleep for everyone
Thanks for the good news post about Lynne, Lynn
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥
Wanda, you said good night...
and so did I !!
Thanks for asking, I think he is on the mend, was very chatty. We have been to the Christmas display for the last four years, so this will make it 5.
Love the gift shop also !
xo okay, Good Night again.
☺
Moon is terribly hazy, but it is so light outside that you could see to walk down the road without a flashlight!
Margy - train roundhouse sounds great. Boys love trains. I passed today the area that the trolley museuem down near Mom's was. Used to take John there when he was little...but I believe it burned down...not sure if Helen knew of it...on Bonifant Rd....the ICC is being built right over the old land now.
It was really cool...you could ride the trolley...
Good night Wanda and Margy. Sweet dreams.
Judie, tooth is irritating but not painful. Applying Sensodyne to it really helps. Thanks!
Great sequence of pics on BWE gallery!
darn have never been to the trolley place, love to see train gardens....Ben is around 14lbs, Maggie was only 14lbs when she was a year old, Lynn she seems really fine, I didn't feel any of the congestion in her back, but she is still so tiny and fragile, forgot to ask about pictures...I mean when you visit it is like a wild house there...Maggie and Molly play really nice together, Kevin and Jay and Annie watched most of the Mount Saint Mary's game, and they pulled out a win.....
headed for night-night, take care everyone:)
Paula, I remember the trolley museum. Also remember riding the "streetcars" as we called them when I was little!
Oh my, what a big boy Ben is! Christie was only 14# at a year, too.
rest well, dear Mits.
Paula, prayers for your daughter in law.
Judie, I will remember to try the upside down mouse if I need it. Problem is, I sometimes get the mouse turned upside down when the screen is fine. Senior moment, perhaps.
Wanda, you are really on the lookout for that garland. It keeps showing up on your blog.
I hope you didn't pay too much extra for the Roman numeral keys. Um, perhaps I can sell you a bridge . . .
Will got a FaceBook message from one of his high school friends who spent today hiding on a mountain in Hawaii.
Glad to hear the Mount won...was thinking about going to it...but other things happened.
That's pretty good size, Mits. He'll be a handfull soon!
Forgot you know some of that area, Lynne...cool.
All of the tsunami talk reminds me of a man we met in California when we went there for a conference years ago. We stayed on the ocean side of the hotel where the waves sounded really loud. He wouldn't stay on the ocean side because he was afraid of a tsunami. He was Japanese, and I thought about his fear when I listened to those waves.
Going to say good night. My brain is getting scrambled again.
Good night, Mits. It sounds like there is a lot of fun going on in that active house.
Oh Wow. That BOLO worked really fast. The shiny garland has been photographed with the angel's head. Now to find the angel's body of evidence!
Lynn, glad the tooth isn't agonizing.
Shirley, if the upside down mouse doesn't work try turning the computer upside down. Hope Will's friend is okay. Sounds as if HI escaped.
Margy, glad James is improving and know you two will enjoy the train museum.
Speaking of trains, surprised Sharon hasn't jumped on the TRAIN tonight.
Okay, brain tired from grading wannabe adults assignments. So far, one paper that strongly suggests plagiarism. Do wish I didn't have to deal with these things.
Will be back tomorrow. Turning my light off but leaving the night light on for others. Andy, if you come in, will you set the alarm for us, please? Goodnight, everyone.
Late good evening again~~~starting to nod off watching Olympics. I can't believe Sunday has closing ceremonies!! I must have missed half of it!
Good health to all those ailing & hope Paula's DIL gets better fast!☺
Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)
I have had a great evening - I now only have 100 comments to read..
Looked at all the pics on BWE Cam Gallery - I always marvel at the smallness of the newborn eaglets!
Caught up with you all... Well not all of you because some have already gone back the hallway.
Paula - Wishing the young couple will be the ones to bring life back into your mom's home. And oh how I pray that Ajay's stone(s) passes quickly and soon! Maybe it is already gone!
Mits - so happy to hear you went visiting today! Ben is going to protect those sisters when he grows up!
Lynn - I feel like I have been
Down Under! Steak, potato and salad
were so good - and also the bread.
No dessert!
Goodnight, Shirley, Judie and Loretta. J: GW beat NC! Sorry, Jo...I'm turning in, too! Hope you had a delicious dinner.
See all of my fine, fowl friends tomorrow!!
Peace and prayers.
I am also heading in - been a long day.
Good Night All and Prayers for your needs/wants
((hugs)) ♥ ♥ ♥
Saying goodnight and pleasant dreams.
I'm off to read a bit of "A Monk Swimming" by Malachy McCourt (younger brother of Frank, who wrote "Angela's Ashes."
Catch you all tomorrow, I hope.
God bless,
Dizzy Di
Hi, Everyone,
Have been trying to read some of today's blog and catch up. Not an easy task!
Judie, congratulations! Professor of the year! Proud of you--and glad the young-uns appreciate you so!
Shirley, sorry about the laundry room mess! Glad that all got worked out, and hope George is still feeling OK.
Mema Jo, YAY!!!!!! Fort Bragg!!! So happy for you! That's wonderful!
Paula, sorry to hear about your DIL's kidney stone. Prayers for her swift recovery.
Prayers, too, for the earthquake victims. That was QUITE a shaker, at 8.8! I remember hearing that on the Richter Scale, an 8.0 quake is TEN times worse than a 7.0. That one was nearly a 9, for heaven's sake! Sounds like HI dodged the bullet, so to speak, thank GOD!
Our coast is in pretty good shape, too, and am grateful for that, too.
Hear that Long Beach harbor had a weird thing happen that's a symptom of a tsunami, but it wasn't extreme.
The water pulled way back from the shore, so much so that some moored boats were left nearly sitting on the bottom, and then the tide came back in, higher than usual. One boat dock became unattached, but no other damage mentioned. It rained cats & dogs here today, a real gully washer at times, but has stopped for now.
Oh--almost forgot! Checked the hummer cam, and Phoebe layed a 2nd egg at 6:27 am PST this morning!
Well, getting tired, so am going to say adios for tonight. Prayers being said for everyone. The night light is burning brightly, the porch light is on, and the eye scanner is enabled. Sleep tight, stay warm, and I'll talk to you tomorrow. Good night! Love you guys! :o]

34° and cloudy. Little bit of wind, 10-15 mph.
Nest is quiet, Belle is awake and looking around.
The National Capitol Trolley Museum is still around on Bonifant road. www.dctrolley.org
Hi Megan
and other Sunday People ☺
I was in Washington DC enough as a youngster that I actually rode on the trolleys a few times, and will never forget the way it was when my Dad was driving the car over those trolley tracks, and then the mess when they had to pull them all up over the years...
Good morning everyone. Has the wind stopped at the nest yet so I can watch and listen to the cam/ Heading that way to turn it on and enjoy without snow or howling wind. Life is Good. Coffee and dog treats are good. Well it certainly appears that the dog treats are good. Speaking of which Dex and i went strolling yesterday. He was so happy to be in that stroller again. W doged the ice and snow a little but mostly at least on the sunny side of the street it was pretty clear. We looked funny for sure but my dog was smiling. Yes He Was :-)
Two parents at BWE
Hey check that nest
eaglet, or maybe TWO at that nest...cannot see the egg
could it Be ???
see part of an eggshell off to the right side
I need another pair of eyes for BWE..
Hi Glo !
okay too late parent back on the nest cup....sure looked like two babies to me !!
Morning all. There is also a trolley museum on Falls Road here.
Our friends Mel and Sherrie had their sons birthday party there last year. We rode the trolleys for hours. They only go about a mile up the tracks and back Great gift shop
Yes the wind has diminished Glo, it is safe to view the nest....
sounds like a fun day for you and Dex....☺ bet you were both smiling !
Hi Ceil...☺
never was on the trolleys in Baltimore they had them there also right ?
I was on one in San Francisco once...
am I alone on what I saw at BWE ?
going to send my pictures to Lisa, back in a few minutes
Margy I missed it. Sure looked like that egg was breaking yesterday. Hope so.
Margy love the San Fran trolleys and Boston still has trolleys. Used to ride the trolleys to high school
I think that is Belle that just came in
Lib just flew off
Changed my photo. I call this one The Heart of a Friend. Looks like I'd better open BWE too.
Magpie Dex ad I are still smiling and chances are very good there will be another stroll today.
Love the new avatar, Glo.
Phooey, couldn't be in two places at once, missed the Eagle action at our nest !
Check my pictures on Magpie's Roost link, see what you think !
☺
Margy sure does look like two. Mom just got up but did not move out of the way
Would love to stay and chat and watch but have to go. BBL
Well, I guess we'll know pretty soon about BWE....
I sent my pictures on to Lisa...
When I was looking earlier I thought I saw a pip in an egg, but didn't save that picture (well I might have...but not sure where it went ! )
Me too... gave myself an 8 o'clock stop time for the computer...
Megan, after Lynn said she saw the hazy moon last night, I saw it too!
and early this morning...
I would say Ice Moon is a good name for it !
TTFN - will check back later
Best wishes for a good day, all.
xo
BWE has posted the Second Hatch on the site !!
Congratulations, Blackwater !!

New Mason update this morning:
Mason

Yeah for BW another nest where a Mom sure did work hard to get her littl eones through the storms although not nearly the inches of snow Belle shook off for her little treasure that is now at least Not in the snow. Off to the neighbors. Enjoy your day folks.
Shirley
was looking in bird book for another bird that would resemble a Magpie...can only come up with Northern Shrike or Loggerhead Shrike, not real likely it would been that, so it must have been Me there..
I am still looking and hope someone else will come up with some suggestions
TTFN now xo ☺ ♥
Good Sunday morning everyone...I told Lisa I thought that egg was going to hatch sooner rather than later, the color variations in it yesterday, just looked like it was ready...they did an excellent job of incubating, and now they are relatively close in size, which is a good thing
