Eagle!

paula eagleholic said...

I didn't realize they even had meds for it, Lynne. I guess you do know this stuff...duh, you've worked in a vets office! Where you a vet tech? My vet hadn't mentioned any meds but did mention the other stuff

EAGLE LAERT!

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, and they have an outdoor channel commercial that runs, too.

That looks like Belle.

Lynne2 said...

I wanted to be a tech, with a degree...never got to do it though. I was an assistant for a while, and then receptionist.
It's worth having those rads done to monitor the size of the heart as he ages, for sure

sandyshaw said...

Just maybe I can post.

Mema Jo said...

Dinner time here - warmed up Chili and freshly baked corn bread.....


BBILW

Mema Jo said...

Whoops! I see that eagle in our nest

paula eagleholic said...

Sandy Shaw, that name sounds awful familiar...

Mema Jo said...

SANDRA HELLO

How did you do it!

sandyshaw said...

Gosh! It worked! Don't know why. Hello to all veteran and new eagle friends. Happy Groundhog Day. Glad to see Belle; she's probably looking for a hot buttered rum!

Mema Jo said...

Sandra --- You think you will get another egg on your b-day this year?

sandyshaw said...

Hope so, mema Jo. Bit I don't like all this bad weather when it's eagle egg time. Hi, Paula; you look so ridiculously young to be a grandmother.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

And Sandyshaw, you can! :)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Is she going to lay an egg in this mess?? She is messing with my nerves for sure!

sandyshaw said...

Amazing! I need to save this screen forever. Chili and cornbread sopunds good. Must go downstairs now

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Okay, so what is that noise at the nest. I am not even going to say what it sounds like! :(

magpie said...

Hi there Sandra.....☺

glo said...

Hmmm she is sitting there in the snow. So you also have osme big storm coming in for the weekend argh. I odn't care about the eagles in Alaska dealing with this all the itme and beign fine. I don't know the eagles in Alaska. I know Belle as well as the rest of you and she gets buried in it to protect her eggs. That is sooooo hard to watch.

magpie said...

can see the eagle better on the Still Cam...is this Belle ?

Thanks Paula for your answer.

I also had to add the plugins for Firefox...still have to do some test driving

magpie said...

you can really see the snowflakes zipping on the live feed

paula eagleholic said...

Hi Sandra! Thanks!

Gotta head home! Catch ya'll later!

magpie said...

Great Video Clip Paula !!

Hello Glo.....xo ♥

magpie said...

Is there a picture or just an X on Sandra's avatar....I have an X

magpie said...

Sharon...how is Sissy....we all want to know....pls and thx

magpie said...

wow I can watc live feed and blog...how unusual must have been that hardware accelerator thing am stil on IE

Costume Lady said...

Time to get supper over with, get your bubble bath and clean jammies on. This is TV NIGHT!:) But, keep one eye on our nest I think it is going to be occupied tonight.

magpie said...

Hope that Daisy recovers from her ailments Pronto Lynne2 !

magpie said...

So, chili and cornbread instead of Crow for dinner eh Jo? Glad Ed is okay....

Lolly said...

Paula, you heard the same noise I heard.

Lolly said...

I have heard it several times.

Mema Jo said...

Wanda you are so right about it being TV night! 3 in a row! Whoo Hoo!

Commercials will be my nest checking
time.

Lolly said...

I am getting cold watching poor Belle. I like it when the cam stops. Then I think it has stopped snowing.

Mema Jo said...

This snow like the last one is sticking Oh My

Mema Jo said...

Margy Take a look at the last page of pics on E_M lol

magpie said...

OK I will just added some saw yours at 2:07 will go back and look now

magpie said...

At least the temperatures are pretty moderate...and no wind....

read in a Flamingo book that when those birds turn their eggs it is to keep the embryo from sticking to one side of the egg....same with Eagle Eggs???

magpie said...

The Still Cam is really capturing those flakes in mid-fall

magpie said...

well time to head into the kitchen...not sure what's going to happen there but I can get back here to watch the nest....

Mema Jo said...

Sure is Margy.
Guess it is true of any egg... osprey
do it also.

hedgie said...

Hi, Sandra! Hope you are doing well!

Sissy is still sick....she worked today, but was heading to bed. She still has NOT gone to the Dr., but is admitting that it's time....need to spank that gal!

An inch of snow here already.

magpie said...

Hope Shirley is not slogging around in the weather...rather she be blogging around here with us...

magpie said...

I'll say it's time Sharon!!!
Thanks for the update, remind her many of us have EAGLE CANES - and I will go get one if I need to !!!

magpie said...

I had that flamingo book for a few overdues...finally just read it!
I just never even thought about the egg turning that way, sure makes sense!

okay standing by with the rest of you....
(( Warmth, Love & Hugs to Belle
♥ ))

hedgie said...

Yep, big TV night on CBS, plus 3 hrs. of Lost on ABC....like Lolly, not sure if I'll watch it or not (taping it). It got awfully wierd.....

hedgie said...

Paula, video was great!

Say a little prayer for Suz....she just left work about an hour ago.

hedgie said...

Margy, needless to say....wrecks have started.....:(

Mits said...

yes Margy, birds are smart:)

magpie said...

Yep - I believe you Hedgie....
shift change just occurred in there at 6 pm....I get to face it in the morning...

floralgirl said...

There's the sirens again at Sheptown, Sharpsburg went off a little while ago. Roads are slick out there.

magpie said...

Hi Mits...
grandson picked out that flamingo book for me at the library....so glad I finally read it, it was great ♥

magpie said...

sure was fun to turn all my calendar pages over yesterday...

magpie said...

WV DNR Calendar has a February deadline for 2011 pictures(well, artist's pictures not photographs) - I have got to remind them we have eagles and osprey in WV and they need to include them !! That is...someone needs to submit one I guess

okay kitchen hollering at me
ttfn xo

magpie said...

prayer for Suz is engaged, Hedgie..thanks...

hedgie said...

Like Mits says, I think the eagles in the lower 48 have the same stamina that the Alaskan birds have. The good Lord made them all to withstand the same conditions, I'm sure. Otherwise, they would ALL head to South America for the winter!

magpie said...

and all traveling in sloppy conditions.....

Paula is headed home, hope she is ahead of the storm.....

Lolly said...

Margy...not me. I do not watch lost. Has Belle left? Can not see her. Nope, just tiled my screen and can see her.

magpie said...

I think it was someone else talking about Lost, Lolly.......I don't watch a whole lot of Television...

Lolly said...

Better Belle in the nest. No matter what...she is out in the elements.

magpie said...

Ceil's going to get me for keeping coming back....wouldn't mind, would like to see her on here !!

Lolly said...

I do not watch a lot myself. Do like Thursday night with Grey's and PP. Also, like Castle on Monday night, but can miss it. Have been watching more as I work on slides.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Yeah, I agree that our eagles can do just as good as Alaskan ones! :) Belle is still there!

Lolly said...

Margy, when do you go to work

paula eagleholic said...

Yay, Margy, glad that helped. I still would use firefox.

What is Belle doing, hope she doesn't want to lay one tonight.

Yup, Sandra has lost her picture, just a red x here too.

Mits said...

for sure, Lynn and Sharon....God watches the tiny sparrow, and I pray all is ok, and God will either say yes, or he will say no, all things are in His hands:)I care about all living things.

paula eagleholic said...

Roads were wet all the way home, not sticking on this side of the mountain yet.

magpie said...

Lolly

6 am to 6 pm, both Wednesday and Thursday....

then on Friday I am getting my hair fixed !! Time for a cut and more curls...hope I don't forget the appointment ☺

Mits said...

glad you made it home, Paula...Lolly, Margy goes in tomorrow a.m.

Costume Lady said...

Hi Sandra...we saw you working in your kitchen when we passed by on our way home from Conowingo...blew the Eagle Express horn shamlessly loud! Did you hear us?:)

Mits said...

Sandra, sure was good to see you on here:)

magpie said...

wow four posts while I was answering Lolly...
yes, glad you are in your roost, Paula !!

and thanks for the RED X answer

I tried Firefox for the cam, no big improvement, but I will play around with it....

Good thoughts there Mits....you are soooo right
xo

hedgie said...

Megan, female student passed out at Shepherd.......imagine that was the siren from S'town.

Mits said...

its they only thoughts I can have Margy:)

magpie said...

btw - I got two packs of cream cheese and two different kinds of crackers...taking them to work Wed, with my hot pepper jelly !

Mits said...

yeah lots of sounds coming from Sheps tonight...

Lolly said...

From OK

1 February: The eagles have been actively working on the new tree nest about a mile from
the tower. But they are also spending time at the tower nest. Only time will tell what their plans
are for nesting this year. We do have cameras installed at the tree nest and are working on
the rest of the needed infrastructure to stream that video if the birds decide to use that nest.

Mema Jo said...

Margy, Lynne is good at reminding you of hair appointments.

BTW Lynne If the roads are clear tomorrow at 1:00 I am getting
hair cut then instead of Thurs. Thurs I hope to have gd and the 4 ggk visiting. Donavon (Youngest) and Joseph (Oldest) need shoes!

Mits said...

Margy, they are going to like it:)

Mema Jo said...

Lolly I had tried to get the cams up at OK this afternoon but nothing would come up - I waited forever.

Lolly said...

Oh, Margy, you will be popular at work. Though,I imagine you are already!

glo said...

yes I have no doubt the snow is not a threat to Belle now or even 35 to 38 days from now and its all in His hands. And it works out His way. For tonight all is well enough. Lib is probably being snowed on above and there she sits.

Lolly said...

i have the OK cam up and both eagles are at the old nest.

Lolly said...

Oh, Jo. That Donavon, he is such a cutie!!!

Mema Jo said...

Glo - I know how hard it is to watch Belle and/or Lib covered with snow - Just like Lady & Lord Blackwater the other day BUT I know they are just as tough as those that live in Alaska and will make it. It is knowing that it is OUR eagles as what makes it hard to not pray harder for them.

Mema Jo said...

Just talked with Jenny and she made it home safely from work in Hagerstown. The other night she got stuck 2 times!

Mema Jo said...

He is going to be a 'guitar man' lol

hedgie said...

I got the most beautiful plush eagle today! Check out the gift store at the National Zoo-----it is good-sized and as soft as fur! Saw it while I was ordering a Tai Shan magnet and just couldn't resist. Have to spend that Christmas money somewhere---and it was VERY worth the $15!

Mema Jo said...

I'll try OK again, Lolly

Mits said...

the zoo has a great shop....

hedgie said...

Here's link:

Eagle

Even nicer in person!!

Mits said...

hoping the zoo opens tomorrow, Tai's last day on view.

Mits said...

would be alot of disappointed people, but it is what it is.

Mits said...

he is beautiful, Lynn

Mits said...

next time you want something let me know...I get a 20% discount, because of volunteering.

paula eagleholic said...

Interesting that Belle is just sitting at the nest...not tenting. Hope that is a good sign.

floralgirl said...

Snow still coming down fast, about 2" now. This is a wet heavy snow. Snowman snow:) Much tougher to brush off the gh- round one of that is done. Sure to be back out there in another hour or so. See Belle is still hanging out in the nest, just might be an egg night.

Lolly said...

Off to prepare dinner.

BBL

Mema Jo said...

Lolly Can't get OK to open

Maybe you have a different link???

floralgirl said...

She's definitely not sitting right over the egg cup.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Can see her so much clearer on the still cam!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I didn't think she was in the egg cup either and it is not cleaned out for an egg!

Mits said...

took the words right out of my mouth Sharon, can see better on still, but technically, this is really the first time she has been in the nest this late, correct?

NatureNut said...

Evening Everyone!! And Hello to Sandra!!!
I gather no more eggs for BW, NBG, and I can see none for here!

Saw eagles flying up & down river again today---adult & juvie. Also had a neat male towhee near office. Adult eagle perched again on the osprey platform & this time I got him!!!Not sure how great pics are yet, but will try to stay awake long enough to dwnld!! ☺
Oh, when I opened back door of Vis. Ctr., a perky Carolina wren flew in! Kept going up in the tall ceiling, landing on fan blades (not moving). I opened two doors, got a hiking stick & lured him out!That's happened before!
We have a few flakes now & they weren't supposed to fall until midnight or 3 to 7AM! DUH
Gotta eat

Mema Jo said...

Lynn - What are you going to name that
new plush eagle........?

Have you heard anything from Bob or Doris since the little one left?

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

She just flew off I think.

paula eagleholic said...

Think she just flew up into the tree

paula eagleholic said...

could hear an eagle shaking it off

paula eagleholic said...

well an eagle is back

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Still there, I guess she just shook off!

Mema Jo said...

Hey Momsters - I really think that Belle is staying there at the egg cup.

Mema Jo said...

I can watch 11:00 to 1:00 this evening.

hedgie said...

Wonder what time the trip will begin? Now saying that zoo will open at 10---so assume that means he will be gone by then. Guess they will get Mei loaded either late tonight or very early tomorrow and then they will head to DC. It may all be done under cover of darkness, just to be on the safe side. Hope the weather doesn't interfere with the plans.

Oh, MArgy, you all will have GOOD snacking tomorrow!!!

Mema Jo said...

I also have the still cam up because you can see her much clearer than on
the live feed. Of course you can hear
any activity on the live feed.

Keep them both up

I didn't see her leave......

Mits said...

Lynn , he leaves on Thursday, and you are right, zoo is closed Thursday a.m. till 10...wonder how many of his fans will go to Dulles....I would love to see the real plane take off, but there will be enough media there to take the shots I'm sure

hedgie said...

No, Jo, haven't heard anything from Bob. Insurance agent was telling me the latest yesterday....she was good friend of Carey.

My oops---it was Andy who mentioned Lost, not Lolly!

Mema Jo said...

Update from Dunedin Osprey Cam:
2/2/10 All seems quiet on the nest before sunrise. Weather should be drier and warmer today. This is 35th day after the first egg was laid so we can seriously start looking for eggs to start hatching this week

Mema Jo said...

Hedgie - 'cover of darkness' means that no Pandanappers can cause any trouble!

Mema Jo said...

If someone were to look at the Live Feed they would have a hard time believing us that there is an eagle in our nest.

floralgirl said...

Yeah, you really can hardly see her on live feed, I can just barely see her with full screen up. Snow is getting deeper.

stronghunter said...

Good evening.

Just got the call. No school in Culpeper tomorrow. It was snowing hard when I left there. Not so much here.

Miss America . . . I did not even know the pageant was going on.

paula eagleholic said...

I haven't checked, is it snowing at NBG

Mema Jo said...

Very nice letter I received from the Special Olympics Polar Bear Plunge.
Very informative about the events of the day.
Next year they are hoping the weather doesn't go against them.
Very proud of all plungers!

magpie said...

Okay another Momster has arrived at her roost, Shirley !

magpie said...

I can watch the nest from 0400 to about 0430....not much of an offer is it?

And I still don't have any oatmeal creme pies!

Mema Jo said...

Megan, How is the gh roof????????

Glad you are home Shirley and Whoo Hoo you get to sleep in again!

paula eagleholic said...

No, she did leave, that white head wasnt there...

Mema Jo said...

Too dark to tell on NBG. Maybe they give an update in their forum or on one of those links.

magpie said...

just a joke...last year during egg laying and egg hatching time I was gobbling them up while watching in the wee hours of the morning....I think Jo got me started on that....

Mema Jo said...

Are you getting ready Wanda! TV starts soon.
Watching NCIS
NCIS LA (my favorite)
The Good Wife

Will check in at commercials of which there are many and boy are they long!

Mits said...

I still have her on the still cam, with the correct time??

floralgirl said...

I have M & M cookies...not to gloat or anything...

Mits said...

I just ordered a pizza:)

Mema Jo said...

With my blood sugar - when you go to the store to get yours Margy - see if they have Sugarless ones for me... lol

Mema Jo said...

Paula if you say she left THEN the pic on my still cam is frozen. However when it refreshes her head turns at times.

stronghunter said...

We will see about the sleeping in . . . I already called Kathryn so that she can bring Hunter if necessary. Of course, I can be semi-conscious and let him watch TV.

Poor Belle. I see her sitting there in the snow.

Mits said...

I also see different snowflakes on the still cam after the refesh

Mema Jo said...

Oh No! No gloating on this blog!

You have any peanut butter ones????

Mema Jo said...

It's GEORGE that I would worry about!

stronghunter said...

Refreshed. Got a different commercial this time. At least it was short. I guess it means that money is being made.

Mema Jo said...

I'm off to the TV.....

BBILW

magpie said...

I have peppermint patties...
(supposed to be for Valentine's Day)


yep eagle head just turned on my still cam too.

Okay Jo I will look for the sugarless or low sugar ones...

paula eagleholic said...

I can hear some sort of vehicle sounds, car doors, and people.

floralgirl said...

She did not leave, she was shaking off the snow. I can still see her, your still cam pic is correct. And now, I want pizza.
Sorry, Jo, somebody ate all the PB cookies.

paula eagleholic said...

I was saying she left earlier when Sharon and I both said she left. Belle is still there.

Hear more vehicles.

NBG doesn't have a night light anymore? I'm behind on the times

Lolly said...

OK Eagle Cam

It is probably off for the night. I still have it up, really dark but can make out the outline of the nest platform. Also, think I see stars.

stronghunter said...

Going to watch American Idol. Need something mindless.

Costume Lady said...

SNOW PLOW? Oh, yes..TV:)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Yep, she is there but it doesn't look like the egg cup is cleaned out!

Lolly said...

Paula, I can see NBG. When I first brought it up, it was black. So I refreshed and then I could see her. Go full screen to see even better.

hedgie said...

Yep, I meant to say tomorrow night, Mits.
Jo, haven't decided on name yet for my new eagle. Have to give it some thought.

Lolly said...

Well, isn't this Wanda's responsibilty to clear the snow off the nest

Mema Jo said...

Still coming down
At least 3 inches now

Still cam still has her there.

hedgie said...

Is Belle still back in the nest, facing the cam?? Hard to make out....but at least I don't see any Boris webs.

I can take 1-2Am, Jo.

Mema Jo said...

BWE cam not as clear as BWO cam

Lolly said...

Jack is watching hockey, guess I will work on slides. Weather report tonight has a major wide spread rain event coming tomorrow and just a mention of snow the first part of next week. Lovely, just lovely.

BBL

glo said...

shook her head

Lynne2 said...

I smell cookies

I see one of our eagles looking a bit angry at the snow situation from the noonish position of nest.

Snowing like mad here now, too

hedgie said...

Jo, I still have PB cookies, but htey aren't sugar-free.
Sorry to say that you may not see your grands tomorrow......

Lolly said...

Just watching NBG. They are maintaining the zoom through the night. She was up a minute ago but could not see the egg. She looked strange with her head and neck stretched out.

Lolly said...

OK, on the blog they said she was calling out. That makes sense.

Costume Lady said...

Looks like Belle is dozing off.

Costume Lady said...

We have 2" here...wish I could clean off the nest!

floralgirl said...

Train!!!

Costume Lady said...

Think Sharon's on it?:)

Mema Jo said...

It's Thurs I see the grands
It's Wed I may get a haircut

Back to the TV

floralgirl said...

Nah, she's probably chasing it:)
We have about 4" here now, I think. Going to have to go back out and clean off the gh again. Gotta find that maintenance man.

Mema Jo said...

So-Gibbs has a girlfriend. I thought that was happening......

Now the good one NCIS:LA

Lynne2 said...

Poor Belle....she wants to lay her egg doesn't she??

Judie said...

Our eagles can do better than Alaskan eagles. I bet ours can see Russia from their nest!

magpie said...

interesting looking little silver-like bead in front of Belle on the nest...wonder what it is

Lynne2 said...

sounds like a snow plow

Lynne2 said...

sounds like a snow plow

paula eagleholic said...

i GUESS SHE IS FEELING PROTECTIVE TOWARDS HER NEST, SORRY FOR THE CAPS, NOT RE-TYPING IT!

magpie said...

well it's gone now, the bead

Lynne2 said...

I hope that I wake up at my usual 3 or 4 am potty break so I can check on the poor girl!

Costume Lady said...

Could be and Eagle Bead:)

Lynne2 said...

I think the silver like bead in front of her is a piece of garland...

stronghunter said...

Charges about to be filed in Michael Jackson's death.

I see Belle still sitting there.

Very tired. Have to say good night. "B" day is always tough. I have my big class on B days. Too many bad attitudes in that group.

See you tomorrow. Last time I looked, it was raining here, but I think it is about 33 degrees.

Lynne2 said...

night Shirley

I'm heading for the shower and bed. Stay safe everyone, prayers for all!

magpie said...

Belle has changed positions a little, maybe looking for the lost bead...

headed for shower too, back before bedtime which is coming up pretty soon! I have a four o'clock date with the nest, must drink lots of water tonight

paula eagleholic said...

2 eagle beads :)

floralgirl said...

Did she move in a little? Just got back inside. Snow is coming down, we are in a heavy band of snow right now. Gonna be a long nite .

Mema Jo said...

Still snowing here in the valley but not as hard as before

paula eagleholic said...

She just took off again

floralgirl said...

Guess she just shook off again, heard something. Still cam shows her there, lost her again on live feed.

paula eagleholic said...

I think the still cam is stuck

floralgirl said...

Mine was stuck at 9:51:48 then suddenly jumped a couple of min. She is shaking off again.

paula eagleholic said...

just heard another shake off

paula eagleholic said...

You are right Megan, she is still there. Quality on still cam is crummy, but I could see her head change position.

paula eagleholic said...

Can't see her on full screen at all

magpie said...

wow, looks like the snow is building up on the side of the tree, clinging to the Gorilla tape

hard to see what's what now...

floralgirl said...

Yeah, I can't find her on the live feed either, even on full screen.

magpie said...

I will dutifully man my post at 0400...better catch some z's soon

Loretta....did you fall asleep?
I will look for your pictures tomorrow! Towheee, neat, eagles, neater...and a wren in the building, what a racket that must have been if she was singing...

hope all pups do not put out any SBD's tonight, silent but deadlies...

Mema Jo said...

Berkeley County and Jefferson County schools will be closed Wed, Feb. 3

The snow emergency plan was placed in effect in Washington County at 7:30 p.m., according to Maryland State Police.

magpie said...

...or noisy but dealies for that matter

Prayers for all with illness, and special prayers for all creatures of the wild, that includes us....that we handle the elements in the best way possible for all good outcomes

Good Night Precious Pals....
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥

Mema Jo said...

Live feed is only good now to hear a 'shake off'

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Well, I just refreshed the still cam and it is at 7:09:11 p.m.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Now it is back at 10:05 p.m. I can see her there!

magpie said...

I see James in Morgan County has the day off also... Thanks for the alert, Jo

(( sending warmth to the Royal Nest and the Royal Pair ))

xo

magpie said...

Oh...SPLIT ???

floralgirl said...

Try again, my still cam wasn't working,then suddenly started refreshing again.
