Thanks Steve for the new thread and thanks Sharon for calling us over. Posted this on the previous thread.
Lolly said... Just visited BWE log. Fantastic stories and video. Loved the story of the golden eagle and the deer. Be sure to read it. Once when in Colorado, up on Trail Ridge Road, we saw a Golden flying below us. lol Even seen a Golden from above it?
since last night we have had the heavy duty John Deere front end loaders and dump trucks driving up and down our streets, clearing the streets, God bless them, of course they did pile it up on our front lawns, but the streets are safer, unlike DC, driving to the zoo to and from yesterday was challenging.
Wish I had NOT gone to FB - Christine said SGT Patrick has bad news about our re-enlisting.. I know they didn't get MD or VA for their new post. Those places are full I am sure. Sooooooo waiting to hear from them about bad news.... I so pray that Patrick is kidding her but MTBR..........
That's the problem - I have no clue what it means. I usually get my calls from Germany around 2:00pm my time. Sure hope she calls. Hope they don't send him to Iceland! lol
Birds and squirrels haven't found their goodies yet. Up to 39 here--sun feels good despite the wind. Hear lots of ice melting from the eaves. Can't believe the icicles. Have a few pics to post that I will try to get on blog later.
got to see Nichole, Tai's keeper yesterday, but no chance to talk, she was the only keeper there yesterday, but gave her a big panda hug....she arrived back home last Monday, right before the 2nd storm hit, so she left on the 4th, and was home by the 8th, said she slept all the way from China to Chicago, flew United back home.
hi all....Sharon...a grackle just showed up at my feeder!!! Not a regular visitor! And only one...usually the show up a few times a year in a massive flock.
Glo great pics. Lisa thanks to Kathy, her husband and Peter for the wonderful pictures and song Mits every time I think of Nicole and Tai I cry. Know it is for the best for the species. Going to the store. BBL
LOL! Yeah, move some snow off of them is what I meant!
We planted small shrubs including tiny rose bushes. We were able to find them after blizzard part one, but no place to put the snow to dig them out after part 2. I'm afraid they've been crushed.
I have a question. On the video where Hoover was placed in the Dunedin nest - did you all see the mice in the nest at 2:22 minutes into the video? It is a picture that was taken after Hoover was placed.
Jo, praying for good news. Btw, it was warm in Reykyavik (sp) last week, so maybe Iceland wouldn't be too bad. How old is your Izzy? Loved the video of the phone call. Mabel says hi and bye to me in a very soft, sweet voice. Hello to everyone.
O sent Lolly a message on FB about the plane crash.
Officials: Austin Crash May Have Been Intentional A low-flying small plane crashed into an office building that houses the Internal Revenue Service in Austin, Texas, on Thursday, and law enforcement officials said it may have been an intentional act.
A few minutes Christine said...I know that everything will work out just fine. I just am a control freak and cannot stand not knowing what is going on or where we are going or when we are leaving. That's my granddaughter - she does know herself well♥
Hi, Everyone, Slept in again this morning--felt really good! Am really enjoying a week off from school.
Whoa, it sounds like a near hurricane at the nest! Had to turn my sound WAY down! Good to see Belle on the nest keeping everything snug and warm.
Happy to say that the Band-tailed Pigeon was back for brunch at the feeders today! Still alone. Hope he finds a friend soon. Sure is a pretty bird! Makes my Mourning Doves look like midgets!
Hi, Lynne, Yes, that pigeon sure is pretty! Wish it would find a friend, though. Looks kinda lonely. The other doves don't get near it~~guess they're intimidated by his size! Seems friendly, though, and not chasing anyone.
Wow, Jo, Bamberg, Germany! Will have to check with my Sis-in-law to see if she's been there. Could be, and she really liked Germany. The people there were very friendly.
Yeah, Paula, they've taken Sassy to a bird rehab center. She was not developing many feathers, and was 30 days old. Hopefully she will catch up on development.
Have not been watching the news. Read about it on the CNN home page. Will watch the news at 5.
It is 63 and bright sunshine. Guess where I have been. YOu got it....working in the yard. Wahoo! Last week at this time 12 inches of snow, today I was in a t-shirt and I got hot!!!! Also, got very muddy, and my back hurt but it was oh, so great to be out.
Lolly - sounds like a great day to be out. I imagine your yard is pretty squishy...ours are still frozen here, LOL, but there is a lot of melting going on. I think my dogs are beginning to wonder what happened to all the grass...they haven't seen it in ages!
Yes, the yard is very soggy. Have water standing in a large area. Has been that way most of the winter. Probably have lost a lot of lawn. However, have a lot of yard that is presently okay, just very wet. I cleared the back flower bed of winter weeds and leaves. Worked until I was pretty tired. Roses are starting to leaf out. Love to find signs of spring.
If you just saw a switch, Belle was on earlier, but I haven't been watching since then...this looks like Lib to me...but I could be wrong...If they switch again, you'll know it's her coming in for night duty...
Hi, Everyone. Daughter called this afternoon about plane crash. I knew the Bldg. they mentioned was not theirs, but is just down the hwy. They go past it everyday coming & going. She sent news link and one to website manifesto written by pilot. That wouldn't open anymore----"Too Sensitive"!!! He had a beef w/gov't. about losing $40,000 in savings & retirement and wasting 10 yrs. of work.
Got Dell techie on phone & 'puter problem is burned put monitor. Thank goodness won't be worse that that!Ordered one for $10 more will be 6" larger!Eagles will be big! ☺
Thanks for the clouded leopard cub article. I couldn't get the cam to run.
Dinner is finished - news time for hubby - I have not received any word from the Germany family. Could not get an int'l connection. I will be patient and wait until the kids get things as they want them. Then they will let us all know.
yes, I think they were, Wanda, there are 2 cams on that page, one of the new cubs, and a second one of the male born here last year and a female born last year at Nashville
We had a concerning incident here, but things are okay now. My oldest child Rus sent a text message that he was having minor chest pains and had called the rescue squad. They came and examined him and said he's okay.
I have now talked with all of my children and everyone has calmed down.
I just finished talking with Rus. He thinks that he may just have pulled a muscle, but was being extra cautious.
Those clouded leopards have the most beautiful blue eyes. Go to the very bottom of the article Mits posted for us to Other pictures of cubs... I have been watching them for about 10 min or more. They are adorable... Their claws are large right from birth.
I'm not waiting til 4 o'clock in the morning to catch up with the posts. bbsoon Paula Great videos of Two Harbors from last night...sure was exciting watching that when it was happenin'
Shirley, sorry to say, but it is not the EMT/paramedic's call to make that Rus is okay. It is their duty to treat and transport to ER.......that is where he should be NOW, ruling out other causes. Sorry, but PLEASE get him to the hospital.
Jo, hope you know something soon...unsettling, I'm sure, to just be wondering.
Had my own little panic attack earlier----realized that a huge icicle by the chimney was weakening, and that if it fell straight down, it would probably rupture the gas line from the propane tanks. Charlie was nearby at his sisters', so he came and got it down before anything bad happened.
Hoping that Rus will get all checked out. Co-worker had a spell at work a few weeks ago was found to have had an inflamed chest well....still in discomfort over it
Maybe, all the shoveling ? Prayers for his healing
Jo ...am on the edge of my seat with you.....will be watching for updates. Prayers for an acceptable assignment....West Virginia would be nice if not MD or VA xo (( Hugs ♥ ))
Yes, those ice cycles are falling on their own accord with the melting. I had been checking one out front window and whoops! no longer there. Asked hubby if he threw a snowball and knocked it - but nope! did not.
SPRING - hubby sent it to me and the cat looks just like ours and he went in and put MARVIN on the pic.
I know there are a lot of links and pics I need to check...having a hard time sitting at the computer after two longs days of it at work going to visit Glo's Glimpses bbinawhile
Helloooo...blustery night out there. Had a 25 mph gust a while back. Shirley, hope your son is ok. Watching the olympics, wish they didn't have so many commercials. Stayed up too late last nite watching snowboarding.
Sure was Paula...and Lolly - I have never seen such a thing with my own two eyes on a live cam I know I was inhaling Oatmeal creme pies last year when we were watching Belle lay that first egg but it wasn't so certain as this one for me at PH
821 is still waiting patiently on a visit with chow from 81
Evening Everyone~~~~Austin update;Talked to daughter & SIL again & they said fire engines, etc. at bldg when they went by & still smoking.All the windows, etc. blown out of front. 13 injured, 2 critical & I heard on news that they found 1 body---probably the pilot.
I had just missed the egg laying at TH last night. Who is Sassy? Did anyone read about the CO eagles?Last year when they lost the chicks it was partly because one parent disappeared & was freezing weather & there was fear of injury. I never saw a follow up & is one adult this year a new one?
Jo, hope you hear from Germany soon & Shirley, hope Rus is OK.
Sassy is the hummingbird at the Dellwo cam there had been two chicks, one failed, Sassy is the second one...there is an earlier post on it but I can't say what time it was Loretta
glad your monitor will be replaced soon.... sometimes mine goes suddenly black and I fear, the video card is about to go belly up
and there is probably a good answer coming your way about the eagle pair at Colorado...I am not up on the latest there Snow covering the nest as night fell :(
Thx Margy! Get a good rest. (it's not easy I'vge found sharing 1 'puter!) That's why I haven't read everything yet. I had heard weather report here calling for snow/ice Sunday & Mon. Now they changed it to Mon-TU! Arrgghh
Night time reading: You are going to love this! the March 2010 issue of Wonderful West Virginia, has an article entitled ALL EYES ON EAGLES. Yes, it IS about the Royal Pair and eaglet news, at, NCTC !! It lists the cam sites and has a wonderful picture of the nest, the tree, and one of the parents perched on a branch above the nest. I checked the website, it does not include this feature yet....if I can scarf up some copies somewhere I will do so! I know Norma gets this magazine..she will be all about this in the morning. It came in the mail today ☺
It seems to be a pretty well written article by one of their frequent contributors, Diana Kile Green, and there is another article after this one entitled NATURE NOTE: THE RETURN OF THE EAGLES by Andrea Bond...well, back to bed to read that one, so Good Night Again ☺
Paula, it took that Mama so long to lay that egg, I was beginning to get labor pains:) Glad Daddy moved out of the way so we could see the blessed event! So glad you are able to video these great events for us...THANK YOU!
Margy, glad you suggested Rus get more attention to his chest pain. I was flabberghasted when Shirley said the medics said he was ok and left! Maybe Rus was having muscle tightening from shoveling...or maybe not!
Maybe Patrick will get sent to Fort Dietrick or Ft. Meade...wouldn't that be great?

GOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIENDS SLEEP TIGHT PRAYERS FOR ALL
Good Evening, Everyone! About to go watch Grey's and PP, but wanted to say goodnight first.
Saying prayers for Shirley's Rus--hope he's feeling much better! Wouldn't hurt at all to get checked out by an MD, though. Saying prayers for everyone.
The night light is on, thanks to Judie, the porch light's automatic, and the eye scanner is enabled. Sleep tight, keep warm, and I'll talk to you tomorrow. God bless! Love you guys! :o]
Watched the skating. Yea, for Evan. I was holding my breath waiting for the scores.
Did another tray of slides while watching the olympics, but also had TH up on half the screen. 82 was just so alert all night, no tucking her head under and sleeping. Hope all goes well at that nest.
Good morning everyone. What a beautiful way one of my email friends gave me to start my day. I wanted to share it with all of you, especially those who are entering the season of Lent or what for all of us is the time leading to the passion of Christ. Even if this isn't a Holy Season for you I do think you will find this beautiful
Let me know if you would like a copy of the WV MAGAZINE!---WILL BE HAPPY TO ORDER YOU ONE!!----& send it to you!---I haven't received mine yet---WHOA! You all know how much I 'HATE' promoting the WILD & WONDERFUL STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA!!---ho!---
oh good grief this computer is giving me fits already today. Had to turn cam off.
Norma...Steve talked to him mom in snowy Terra Alta last night. I think they are on the verge of nervous breakdown! They haven't been able to get out for 2 weeks! Snow plows have them plowed in. Snow so high they can't see out window to neighbor's house anymore.
An EAGLE on the nest!---One can hear the fierce wind!!---We have cloudy blue skies--this am with some sunshine here in the MOUNTAIN STATE!---Temp 32°---WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! as LAWRENCE WELK would say---no mention of SNOW today!!---LET US GIVE THANKS & BE GLAD!!--LIFE IS GOOD!
Norma, you are going to enjoy the WV magazine when you get it ! I'll look for some copies here too, will watch the website to see when the article appears there too.
My son is finally back in school....two hour delay. He said they will probably spent the whole day talking about the 2 weeks off and not due a thing, but at least they are back! Busy day today for me. BBL
I followed the steps in the magazine to get to the live cam....is about four trips through FWS and NCTC sites but, it brought the live cam up!
excerpt: The NCTC Eagle Cam has become one of the most watched wildlife cameras in the country. Viewers can check in anytime, day or night, to see what's happening.
TGIF to Everyone!!Noticed that the snow is much lower from the sun & above freezing temps! Hooray! Hope Jack doesn't shoot the pink armadillo. It is said to be "everyone's friend~~~does not damage plant roots!" Well, gotta get to work----someone was there yesterday, so guess we can get on property ... Have a great day!
thank you so much Norma!! I will be putting that in the scrapbook for sure...and someday when my in-laws are nicely tucked into a milder climate and their winter is only just a memory, we will look at it and LAUGH!
Went to W/CTR yesterday---my 3rd day out--HEDGIE!--WOW!!---Now most every bone in my body is a wee bit sore!---But it REALLY felt good to be back in the living world!!---SNOW off the over hanging roof fell yesterday & destroyed a RHODODENDRON BUSH---a favorite of my BEAUTIFUL CARDINALS!!---spring--spring--spring---you are not suppose to be far behind....

I have a grackle out here. They are such beautiful birds!
current weather for nest from weather.com....ignore the one on the site....
Cloudy
40° F
Feels Like: 31° F
Wind: From WNW at 16mph gusting to 22mph
Whew! Fresh thread - love it. Thanks!
Cover picture for Thursday is a good one!
I have had the flocks of robins the last few days here, they are everywhere.
since last night we have had the heavy duty John Deere front end loaders and dump trucks driving up and down our streets, clearing the streets, God bless them, of course they did pile it up on our front lawns, but the streets are safer, unlike DC, driving to the zoo to and from yesterday was challenging.
Wish I had NOT gone to FB - Christine said SGT Patrick has bad news about our re-enlisting.. I know they didn't get MD or VA for their new post. Those places are full I am sure. Sooooooo
waiting to hear from them about bad news.... I so pray that Patrick is kidding her but MTBR..........
so what do you think that means, Jo, think they will have to stay in Germany?
Jo I hope he is kidding. Hope they will not be staying overseas.
That's the problem - I have no clue what it means. I usually get my calls from Germany around 2:00pm my time.
Sure hope she calls. Hope they don't send him to Iceland! lol
well, I'm on the edge of my chair, waiting for that phone call.
Birds and squirrels haven't found their goodies yet.
Up to 39 here--sun feels good despite the wind. Hear lots of ice melting from the eaves. Can't believe the icicles. Have a few pics to post that I will try to get on blog later.
OMG---plane crashes into office building in Austin, TX---Lolly, are you watching news???
Don't worry As soon as I know I will share with you gals.
If I haven't gotten a call by 3pm I will call them.
got to see Nichole, Tai's keeper yesterday, but no chance to talk, she was the only keeper there yesterday, but gave her a big panda hug....she arrived back home last Monday, right before the 2nd storm hit, so she left on the 4th, and was home by the 8th, said she slept all the way from China to Chicago, flew United back home.
hi all....Sharon...a grackle just showed up at my feeder!!! Not a regular visitor! And only one...usually the show up a few times a year in a massive flock.
Jo, isn't there a limit on overseas duty?? Pray that assignment will be stateside...please keep us informed.
Glo great pics.
Lisa thanks to Kathy, her husband and Peter for the wonderful pictures and song
Mits every time I think of Nicole and Tai I cry. Know it is for the best for the species.
Going to the store. BBL
Jo, I hope you don't have to wait long to hear something and that it is GOOD news when you get it!
Sure was hoping to get outside and try to dig out the front flower beds but the wind is terrible here.
well that is why I did not bombard her with questions yesterday, it is a hard time for her...
Now why would you want to dig out your flower beds?
LOL, Megan, think Lynne meant get the snow out!! But doesn't it provide protection to them?
Yeah, I knew what she meant, and yes, snow is a great insulator, protecting plants from cold and wind.
chick in view CRC:)
LOL! Yeah, move some snow off of them is what I meant!
We planted small shrubs including tiny rose bushes. We were able to find them after blizzard part one, but no place to put the snow to dig them out after part 2. I'm afraid they've been crushed.
feeding time at CRC
Brain needs help ??? CRC ???
It is a 7 story building
Pilot burnt down his house before he flew into building which is next to FBI building.
Flight from Denver to San Francisco 741 diverted to Salt Lake City after a threating letter was found on plane. Holding all people.
They don't think 2 matters are related. in Austin 2 other than pilot. Northwest Austin Texas.
Mits where is CRC?
Carolina Raptor Center...WCNC eagle cam
I have a question. On the video where Hoover was placed in the Dunedin nest - did you all see the mice in the nest at 2:22 minutes into the video? It is a picture that was taken after Hoover was placed.
Thank you Mits got it. Would like to see chick.
Sharon I did not notice guess I need to rewatch. Maybe they wanted Parents to have food right there to feed.
Jo, praying for good news. Btw, it was warm in Reykyavik (sp) last week, so maybe Iceland wouldn't be too bad. How old is your Izzy? Loved the video of the phone call. Mabel says hi and bye to me in a very soft, sweet voice. Hello to everyone.
O sent Lolly a message on FB about the plane crash.
Officials: Austin Crash May Have Been Intentional
A low-flying small plane crashed into an office building that houses the
Internal Revenue Service in Austin, Texas, on Thursday, and law enforcement
officials said it may have been an intentional act.
Sandra -(Elizabeth) Izzy is 20 mos old - will be 2 on June 5. Those videos keep me very close to her growing up over there in Germany.
A few minutes Christine said...I know that everything will work out just fine. I just am a control freak and cannot stand not knowing what is going on or where we are going or when we are leaving. That's my granddaughter - she does know herself well♥
Where in Germany Patrick? i was stationed there for 7 years.
Going to take a break
Our nest is doing well!
BBILW
Hi, Everyone,
Slept in again this morning--felt really good! Am really enjoying a week off from school.
Whoa, it sounds like a near hurricane at the nest! Had to turn my sound WAY down! Good to see Belle on the nest keeping everything snug and warm.
Happy to say that the Band-tailed Pigeon was back for brunch at the feeders today! Still alone. Hope he finds a friend soon. Sure is a pretty bird! Makes my Mourning Doves look like midgets!
BAMBERG GERMANY
Andy, I just looked up your pigeon, they are cool looking! Of course we don't have them in the east :(
Sharon - the first article on Hoover said they placed the mice in the nest, along with Hoover ♥
Just getting caught up here.
TH nest is on...
Eagle just arrived with fluff
Now eating a nestover
Did ya'll notice our nest is almost free of snow! Incubating eagle (Lib) just took off. Belle munching on nestovers.
Back on the eggs...oops gotta roll them first :)
OHHHH That's in Bavaria, what a beautiful place. I sure hope you have been able to visit.
Hi, Lynne,
Yes, that pigeon sure is pretty! Wish it would find a friend, though. Looks kinda lonely. The other doves don't get near it~~guess they're intimidated by his size! Seems friendly, though, and not chasing anyone.
41 degrees----I see some bare gravel in driveway!
Working on Carolyns' taxes...boring...y-a-w-n.
Wow, Jo,
Bamberg, Germany! Will have to check with my Sis-in-law to see if she's been there. Could be, and she really liked Germany. The people there were very friendly.
Oh Jo, I forgot to mention how much I enjoyed the video of IZZY. She steals your heart, doesn't she?
"MEMALL"...Love it!
BTW, they took Sassy out of Phoebe's nest today (CA hummer cam) They don't think she's developing properly.
Yeah, Paula, they've taken Sassy to a bird rehab center. She was not developing many feathers, and was 30 days old. Hopefully she will catch up on development.
Gotta go run some errands, so will be back in a while.
Wow, didn't realize Sassy was that old...
Good luck to Sassy. If she lives up to her name she should be okay
Sassy should have already fledged...they say she may not have had enough protein due to the current lack of bugs....
Egg roll our nest.
Can you believe we will have hatching the end of next week at BWE??!!??!!
Have not been watching the news. Read about it on the CNN home page. Will watch the news at 5.
It is 63 and bright sunshine. Guess where I have been. YOu got it....working in the yard. Wahoo! Last week at this time 12 inches of snow, today I was in a t-shirt and I got hot!!!! Also, got very muddy, and my back hurt but it was oh, so great to be out.
Paula am counting the days.
Lolly - sounds like a great day to be out. I imagine your yard is pretty squishy...ours are still frozen here, LOL, but there is a lot of melting going on. I think my dogs are beginning to wonder what happened to all the grass...they haven't seen it in ages!
So I am thinking that is Lib in the nest but not sure??
Yes, the yard is very soggy. Have water standing in a large area. Has been that way most of the winter. Probably have lost a lot of lawn. However, have a lot of yard that is presently okay, just very wet. I cleared the back flower bed of winter weeds and leaves. Worked until I was pretty tired. Roses are starting to leaf out. Love to find signs of spring.
could be, Sharon???
Paula, did you see where CO has two eggs? Saw them this morning,
Who ever is in the nest wants to be relieved!
giving a shout out.
poof
Two eggs left alone.
Eagle back! Good!
eagle is back rolling eggs
If that was Lib, I think he was saying...I am outta here, you better come down!
must have been time for his potty break
I thought he just wanted to go to Happy Hour!☺
that too:)
Lolly, I saw you posted that about CO...went and looked,finally found the pic with the 2 eggs, think it was under the 9am section
2 new clouded leopard cubs born at the Zoo's Front Royal facility Sunday!!! So cute!!
If you just saw a switch, Belle was on earlier, but I haven't been watching since then...this looks like Lib to me...but I could be wrong...If they switch again, you'll know it's her coming in for night duty...
Heading home, c ya later
They said police called the Austin TX plane crash an intentional act.
yes, Sharon the guy was mad at the IRS.
Hi, Everyone. Daughter called this afternoon about plane crash. I knew the Bldg. they mentioned was not theirs, but is just down the hwy. They go past it everyday coming & going. She sent news link and one to website manifesto written by pilot. That wouldn't open anymore----"Too Sensitive"!!!
He had a beef w/gov't. about losing $40,000 in savings & retirement and wasting 10 yrs. of work.
Got Dell techie on phone & 'puter problem is burned put monitor. Thank goodness won't be worse that that!Ordered one for $10 more will be 6" larger!Eagles will be big! ☺
Din din time, BBL
Good lord I don't know how they can fly in this wind
wind makes me feel cold inside:(
Oh, Loretta, SO glad it was just the monitor! Had that happen at work twice!! Luckily, it's never been a problem at home!
hey Margy, when you stop in, the LW cam is working again, but there is a huge stick in front of the nest...
Mits LW is a mess. Beakspeak has put up that we have an egg
CLOUDED LEOPARD CUBS
Helen, they are adorable. Were they conceived naturally?
Thanks for the clouded leopard cub article. I couldn't get the cam to run.
Dinner is finished - news time for hubby - I have not received any word from the Germany family. Could not get an int'l connection. I will be patient and wait until the kids get things as they want them. Then they will let us all know.
Sure feeling bad about Sassy--hope they can save her. Cannot imagine even handling something that tiny and delicate.
yes, I think they were, Wanda, there are 2 cams on that page, one of the new cubs, and a second one of the male born here last year and a female born last year at Nashville
the quality of the pic is not very good, but at least you can see them in the corner
Just stopping in for a moment to say hello.
I'm trying to keep up with everything.
We had a concerning incident here, but things are okay now. My oldest child Rus sent a text message that he was having minor chest pains and had called the rescue squad. They came and examined him and said he's okay.
I have now talked with all of my children and everyone has calmed down.
I just finished talking with Rus. He thinks that he may just have pulled a muscle, but was being extra cautious.
Good to hear that you have everyone calmed now. It is better to be safe than sorry - glad Russ made that call.
hope he feels better soon, Shirley
Those clouded leopards have the most beautiful blue eyes. Go to the very bottom of the article Mits posted for us to Other pictures of cubs...
I have been watching them for about 10 min or more. They are adorable... Their claws are large right from birth.
Shirley, better safe than sorry. Glad he called and was checked. Happy for you that all is well now. Go have a drink! ☺
Thanks for the kind words. Have been missing talking with you, but it has been really busy.
Howdy Eagle ♀'s and ♂'s...
Has anyone posted this:
Snow on the Eagle at Ft. St. Vrain
Fort St Vrain Colorado
I am just getting on, haven't read much yet
back soon
She (or He) just shook snow off and checked the eggs roosting again. I posted a comment and it ended up on January 18 thread !
and this will probably show I havn't read backwards...
three eggs at Valmont, now in view no bird
CEIL...SURVIVOR...are you going to watch with me? It has to get better:)
Hi, Margy, welcome home:)
Jo, loved the SPRING preview!
I'm not waiting til 4 o'clock in the morning to catch up with the posts.
bbsoon
Paula
Great videos of Two Harbors from last night...sure was exciting watching that when it was happenin'
parent back at Valmont....
will check LW on my way back through
I guess Belle just moved and I missed it
Shirley, sorry to say, but it is not the EMT/paramedic's call to make that Rus is okay. It is their duty to treat and transport to ER.......that is where he should be NOW, ruling out other causes. Sorry, but PLEASE get him to the hospital.
Loretta, I had forgotten that your daughtr was in Austin. That guy definitely had mental problems.
Jo, hope you know something soon...unsettling, I'm sure, to just be wondering.
Had my own little panic attack earlier----realized that a huge icicle by the chimney was weakening, and that if it fell straight down, it would probably rupture the gas line from the propane tanks. Charlie was nearby at his sisters', so he came and got it down before anything bad happened.
Shirley
Hoping that Rus will get all checked out. Co-worker had a spell at work a few weeks ago was found to have had an inflamed chest well....still in discomfort over it
Maybe, all the shoveling ?
Prayers for his healing
Thank goodness is right Lynn!
Eagle at TH calling out, think she is hungry and needs a break
Jo ...am on the edge of my seat with you.....will be watching for updates. Prayers for an acceptable assignment....West Virginia would be nice if not MD or VA
xo (( Hugs ♥ ))
Nice Avatar Sharon !
And when Pa Nana Diann checks in, Love those Snow Drops too ! Saw them first thing this morning when I checked in ☺
Yes, those ice cycles are falling on their own accord with the melting. I had been checking one out front window and whoops! no longer there. Asked hubby if he threw a snowball and knocked it - but nope! did not.
SPRING - hubby sent it to me and the cat looks just like ours and he went in
and put MARVIN on the pic.
I noticed that Sassy was looking poorly when I checked the nest a couple of days ago...poor little thing, hope she gets to be ok
Nice to see LW up and running, but that nest has been a mess for a couple of weeks, wondering if the Eagles are going to make a nest home of it....
Jo
did you see, THREE eggs at Valmont!
☺
wondering where Bev has been these last few days...
I can't get Maine Forum up, can anyone else ?
I'm hoping Paula sent her TH videos to them too
I know there are a lot of links and pics I need to check...having a hard time sitting at the computer after two longs days of it at work
going to visit Glo's Glimpses
bbinawhile
Best wishes for a good evening to all here ♥
Hi Margy, glad you are home. It was neat last night watching the eagle at TH, Paula got a great video. Glad you called our attention to that cam.
Watching Olympics tonight and working on slides. Do not know of an eagle laying an egg tonight.
So right now I will say good night as most will be gone when I get back late.
Evening, all! Waiting for the skating to come on...
Yepper! that should be all for the Valmonts.
FtStVrain - 2nd egg was at 9:41:23am
Started snowing around 5pm and the nest was covered by the time darkness came around 6pm
Getting a problem loading the ME Forum.
Did you save Judy's doc on eaglet happenings?
Judy B. Eagle Information Table
Judy hadn't logged in yet the TH egg
Margy & Lolly, I'm glad you were both able to watch TH lay her egg...pretty neat, isn't it?
Hi everyone,
Just trying to catch up.
Jo, I hope you receive happy news from Germany. There are so many possibilities that are still close by. I'll send a reassignment prayer.
Shirley, I'm with Lynn. EMT's only do immediate treatment and transport. Russ needs additional evaluation by physicians. Please encourage him.
Margy, get some sleep, please.
Lynn, glad the killer icicle has been dispatched to recycle bin. Be careful.
I need some serious sleep. Will try to catch up more tomorrow. Turning my light off but leaving the night light on for others. Sleep well, everyone.
Helloooo...blustery night out there. Had a 25 mph gust a while back.
Shirley, hope your son is ok.
Watching the olympics, wish they didn't have so many commercials.
Stayed up too late last nite watching snowboarding.
Sure was Paula...and Lolly -
I have never seen such a thing with my own two eyes on a live cam
I know I was inhaling Oatmeal creme pies last year when we were watching Belle lay that first egg but it wasn't so certain as this one for me at PH
821 is still waiting patiently on a visit with chow from 81
make that 82 not 821
hard to blog and have the IWS sites up
funny how we just get an urge to check a nest, last night was one of those nights ☺
Glo's new pictures are really really neat !
egg check now at TH - she looks quite forlorn
Judie - hope you get some good rest, I have been daydreaming all day about crawling back under the covers, going to do that very soon here...
by the time this posts egg check is going to be all over at TH
Evening Everyone~~~~Austin update;Talked to daughter & SIL again & they said fire engines, etc. at bldg when they went by & still smoking.All the windows, etc. blown out of front. 13 injured, 2 critical & I heard on news that they found 1 body---probably the pilot.
I had just missed the egg laying at TH last night. Who is Sassy?
Did anyone read about the CO eagles?Last year when they lost the chicks it was partly because one parent disappeared & was freezing weather & there was fear of injury. I never saw a follow up & is one adult this year a new one?
Jo, hope you hear from Germany soon & Shirley, hope Rus is OK.
Sassy is the hummingbird at the Dellwo cam
there had been two chicks, one failed, Sassy is the second one...there is an earlier post on it but I can't say what time it was Loretta
glad your monitor will be replaced soon....
sometimes mine goes suddenly black and I fear, the video card is about to go belly up
and there is probably a good answer coming your way about the eagle pair at Colorado...I am not up on the latest there
Snow covering the nest as night fell :(
I'm like to give up back problems and tiredness for lent
Need to check out....eyelids down to the ankles
and computer all slow now after watching TH - hope the chow comes soon and that you all get to see it
Take Care, Rest Well, I take prayers to bed with me when I go
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ☺ ♥
Egg roll!
JO
thanks for the egg chart link, I will have to check that out tomorrow, which is
RED FRIDAY !
and will have Sgt. Patrick especially in mind with my red shirt tomorrow, Jo
♥
Clouded leopards are adorable.
Shirley I agree Russ needs to be checked out.
Wanda watched survivor. It was better this week.
Restful sleep to all.
Thx Margy! Get a good rest. (it's not easy I'vge found sharing 1 'puter!) That's why I haven't read everything yet.
I had heard weather report here calling for snow/ice Sunday & Mon. Now they changed it to Mon-TU! Arrgghh
Geesh what time is the skating gonna start?
Gonna try to see Olympics....
Paramedics can check you out with an EKG machine...
Thanks for your concern Judie and Lynn. I will talk with Rus.
wathcing an all new Grey's and PP tonight:)
CEIL...Survivor was better tonight. Did you see RICH at anytime tonight? Maybe he is running around neked and they didn't want to show him?;)
Where do I see Paula's video of TH, please?
Snowing on the PIX cam in PA woods
Wanda, it's on my EM blog..just click on my name...
Night time reading:
You are going to love this!
the March 2010 issue of Wonderful West Virginia, has an article entitled ALL EYES ON EAGLES.
Yes, it IS about the Royal Pair and eaglet news, at, NCTC !! It lists the cam sites and has a wonderful picture of the nest, the tree, and one of the parents perched on a branch above the nest.
I checked the website, it does not include this feature yet....if I can scarf up some copies somewhere I will do so!
I know Norma gets this magazine..she will be all about this in the morning.
It came in the mail today ☺
Hope you get some more copies; however, if you can't, be sure to bring your copy with you at our next get together.
It seems to be a pretty well written article by one of their frequent contributors, Diana Kile Green, and there is another article after this one entitled NATURE NOTE: THE RETURN OF THE EAGLES by Andrea Bond...well, back to bed to read that one,
so Good Night Again ☺
Loretta Your armadillo is wild ! xo
Paula, it took that Mama so long to lay that egg, I was beginning to get labor pains:) Glad Daddy moved out of the way so we could see the blessed event!
So glad you are able to video these great events for us...THANK YOU!
Loretta - If Jack sees that Pink Fairy Armadillo he'll shoot it.......
I'm getting dressed for bed...
I'll be back before going back the hallway.........
Margy, glad you suggested Rus get more attention to his chest pain. I was flabberghasted when Shirley said the medics said he was ok and left! Maybe Rus was having muscle tightening from shoveling...or maybe not!
Maybe Patrick will get sent to Fort Dietrick or Ft. Meade...wouldn't that be great?
From the Wonderful West Virginia magazine site-
How do I purchase past issues?
Past issues are $5.00 for a single copy, $8.00 for two (2) copies and $11.00 for three (3) copies. This pricing includes postage and handling. For more than 3 copies, contact us toll free at 1-800-225-5982. You can purchase them with your credit card by calling the circulation desk at the toll free number listed above.
Wanda, Richard isn't on it.
An EKG is only one of many diagnostic tools. It is not the end all-be all. Blood work is one of the most important, and paramedics can't run those.
Thanks, Margy and Megan!
Sounds like a great issue, Margy! Wish I still got that mag. Good info, Megan---will have to see about getting a copy.
Going to say my goodnights now. Hope all have a restful sleep. Peace and prayers.
Good night All
Prayers for All
Hoping you have a restful sleep and
pleasant dreams......
(((hugs))) ♥ ♥ ♥
Thanks Lynn...wonder why I thought Rich was on this one?
Watching figure skating...my favorite. Did anyone see EVAN skate? Beautiful! Too sleepy to wait up on Patrinko (sp).
GOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIENDS
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Good Evening, Everyone!
About to go watch Grey's and PP, but wanted to say goodnight first.
Saying prayers for Shirley's Rus--hope he's feeling much better! Wouldn't hurt at all to get checked out by an MD, though. Saying prayers for everyone.
The night light is on, thanks to Judie, the porch light's automatic, and the eye scanner is enabled.
Sleep tight, keep warm, and I'll talk to you tomorrow. God bless!
Love you guys! :o]
That was an awesome skating competition...really proud of Evan!! GO USA!!!
Watched the skating. Yea, for Evan. I was holding my breath waiting for the scores.
Did another tray of slides while watching the olympics, but also had TH up on half the screen. 82 was just so alert all night, no tucking her head under and sleeping. Hope all goes well at that nest.
Time to head to bed.
Nite all! Sweet dreams!(((HUGS)))
Good morning.
I talked with Rus this morning and got him to promise he will call his doctor early this morning.
Thank you for your concerns.
Good morning everyone. What a beautiful way one of my email friends gave me to start my day. I wanted to share it with all of you, especially those who are entering the season of Lent or what for all of us is the time leading to the passion of Christ. Even if this isn't a Holy Season for you I do think you will find this beautiful

Good Morning Eagle ♀'s and ♂'s
Norma, you are going to enjoy the WV magazine when you get it !
I'll look for some copies here too, will watch the website to see when the article appears there too.
My son is finally back in school....two hour delay. He said they will probably spent the whole day talking about the 2 weeks off and not due a thing, but at least they are back! Busy day today for me. BBL
I followed the steps in the magazine to get to the live cam....is about four trips through FWS and NCTC sites but, it brought the live cam up!
excerpt: The NCTC Eagle Cam has become one of the most watched wildlife cameras in the country. Viewers can check in anytime, day or night, to see what's happening.
I love that magazine!! Is the article in the upcoming issue?
Phyrfly
It's been a long winter !
hope the day goes fast and the week-end brings great joy and relaxation..
xo
TGIF to Everyone!!Noticed that the snow is much lower from the sun & above freezing temps! Hooray!
Hope Jack doesn't shoot the pink armadillo. It is said to be "everyone's friend~~~does not damage plant roots!"
Well, gotta get to work----someone was there yesterday, so guess we can get on property ...
Have a great day!
Amen Magpie
thank you so much Norma!! I will be putting that in the scrapbook for sure...and someday when my in-laws are nicely tucked into a milder climate and their winter is only just a memory, we will look at it and LAUGH!
I like this, the way the article starts out:
High in a mighty sycamore tree just west of Shepherdstown WV our national bird has come to roost
I sent an email to Steve about it, sure he knows all about it already!
Perfectly timed issue for our Nesting Season...
Went to W/CTR yesterday---my 3rd day out--HEDGIE!--WOW!!---Now most every bone in my body is a wee bit sore!---But it REALLY felt good to be back in the living world!!---SNOW off the over hanging roof fell yesterday & destroyed a RHODODENDRON BUSH---a favorite of my BEAUTIFUL CARDINALS!!---spring--spring--spring---you are not suppose to be far behind....
It's the March 2010 issue Phyrfly
I put a nighttime nest egg and bird pic on Magpie's Roost
