Wax

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

No, missed the wax and the split!

Mits said...

Sharon was it a flat screen TV:)?

Ragdoll said...

Good Morning Eagle Friends!!! and a fine morning it is. Another sunny day. At work right now. Slow day. Yeepee! (I should whisper)

Sharon - You may have fluid in your ears that causes itching. Try some Sudafed (the one you have to sign for) Be careful, it can make you feel either drowsy or excited.

I am allergic to mold spores so I take it often. It excites me. Boy, I get things done fast when I am on it. weeee! So don't start taking it late in the day until you know. Prayer for you!!!!

Grand Canyon Sunrise

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING...
That sunrise will, most likely, get prettier and prettier. We were fortunate enough to have spent the night on the edge of the Grand Canyon 10 years ago, in the Eagle Express's predisessor. To awaken in the morning to see that sunrise, while drinking coffee with my parents and Gene was one of the most awesome experiences of my life. Truly takes your breath away!
Now, I don't thing a motor home can even drive in that area!

Mits said...

the sunsets are pretty good too:)Just a magical place.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Thanks Ragdoll.

Mits, it was a 27 inch full size TV, not flat screen! Big, big! :)

Nice bird inventory Sharon!

WOO HOO a pair of blue birds were hanging around the dogwood trees yesterday morning...dare I hope it's the same pair from last year? I'll be it is! I took out the old house though, and placed a bluebird house a few yards away in my new front yard. Don't want a repeat of the snake incident from last year. My white throated sparrows departed about 2 weeks ago and I haven't seen the chippys return yet. Still have juncos though but not for long ,I 'm sure.

Megan, I heard phoebes yesterday but just couldn't see the little buggers!

Dana, so sorry about your poor eyes. I sure hope you can get your referral SOON.

Off to Home Depo....then out to the yard again!

Ragdoll said...

Like a lot of you. I can't get our nest up. I see the nest, but when I push play it bobbles from play/pause. when I click on pic it sometimes moves. Kind of like the repeat every so many seconds sites. At least it something. Sure hopes it works right nest week. I pray we get a chick.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Most of the time if it is doing the stop and start thing, I keep clicking on the pause/play button and it comes on.

Mits said...

mine was doing that yesterday...I have no patience for a cam that does not work...came on this a.m. with the annoying buzz

Mits said...

that does not always work, Sharon

paula eagleholic said...

I click on it and wait about 10 seconds, if it doesn't come on, I try it again.

This morning I keep having to reload the whole page...

paula eagleholic said...

Having to reload because it stops completely...

I am using firefox...

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Well, hopefully when our egg hatches, somebody will be watching to see it.

paula eagleholic said...

The annoying buzz is gone now, Mits.

paula eagleholic said...

Egg roll

Mits said...

firefox, made everything worse for me, I went back to IE8

movin said...

They have fish galore at BWE and Mom just arrived, maybe with another fish.

Mits said...

not here it isn't, still buzzing

Mits said...

heron sleeping in osprey nest at wildwatch cam

movin said...

You ladies made me curious, so I fired up our live feed with FireFox. And it opened almost instantly, works beautifully this A.M. It does have that buzz though, especially when you have the volume cranked up.

Duke Farms nest is on

www.dukefarms.org

paula eagleholic said...

Duke farms could hatch next week, too...

movin said...

You don't suppose they left the Infra Red lamp on do you? The picture gets totally washed out on both feeds today.

Mits said...

at the top of the PixPA cam there are 2 falcon cams to access up in Pittsburgh, both have eggs.

paula eagleholic said...

Caltrans and Colorado and Oklahoma also on the schedule for next week.

Did anyone know Lake washington has an egg?

paula eagleholic said...

I can't get LW on..egg laid late on the 16th.

paula eagleholic said...

JIm, it is bright sunshine here today.

paula eagleholic said...

I see the heron in the osprey nest at WDFW

Mema Jo said...

Hello Sunshine! Reading all the comments - Had my call from Germany and they are headed out to Paris and their Disney World for the weekend!
Megan That is wonderful news... I'll buy them from you at the April 3rd market - Will you be there - it is a Saturday...?

paula eagleholic said...

Only 1 more week to watch Noah at CRC

paula eagleholic said...

OK, was my computer, I hear the buzz still

paula eagleholic said...

Parent casting big shadow over BWE chicks....looks weird

Mema Jo said...

I had no problem opening our cam this am. The land ad came on first.. There is a low hum - I am on IE system.

Getting ready to go in for CT which is a regular 3 mo event!

Sorry you don't feel any better Sharon.. Can you tell me what Sissy meant in a comment on FB about "Seeing our eagles on Saturday"?

Mema Jo said...

That heron is really out of line!
I don't think LW has any eggs yet....
Just haven't been checking regularly to see the couple there.

Blog doesn't think that 'nestorations'
is a word either, Paula.

NatureNut said...

Morning Everyone!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO NORMA'S LAURA!!
Getting warm here, have to plant some snowdrops. Guess they like shade. Have to research.
Gotta call Dell & see if I can get my money's worth.

Mema Jo said...

Lisa has a comparison pic on her Eagle Nest Update..... It's a shocker! lol

Mema Jo said...

I'm off for the street clothes

Lolly - prayers for Natalie.

paula eagleholic said...

Looked like an eagle flyover at our nest...

Ragdoll said...

I'm back. sorry..had to leave quick. When a student calls, I am there. Wish I could said the same about them. hahah

I have IE at school. Firefox at home. I have better luck at home.

Okay, Truth time. Sometimes when it won't play for me, I find myself clicking on the button, won't play, okay try clicking on Belle, now try just the nest, not yet, try Belle again. How about the tree. Sometimes it comes up, but I know it's not because I clicked the right object. Okay, you can csll the men with the white coats now. LOL

Judie said...

Good morning.

Hoping Natalie will get through her recovery and soon be on the path to healing.

Lynn2, sorry about your back pain but can appreciate how good it feels to get outside work done.

Happy Birthday to Norma's Laura.

Sharon, sorry you still feel poorly and hope you improve today.

Dana, I am sorry about your continued eye problems. Maybe another opinion would be a help.

Yep, I enjoyed the gymnasts athletics and Darth enjoyed watching them.

Wishing everyone a lovely, sunshiny day.

paula eagleholic said...

JO, I was checking out JudyB site, that's where I found the LW info...

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, that's a great comparison, Lisa.

paula eagleholic said...

OH Judie, congrats to your gymnasts. I love watching gymnastics.

paula eagleholic said...

Noah doing a lot of preening. I wonder if those new feathers coming in makes an eagle itchy??

movin said...

Hahaha, Deb. But I often click on the picture if it won't load, and it sometimes helps ... I think.

I've tried it on many sites, not just this one, and I think it often "gets its attention."

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Bird inventory con't: Nuthatch, titmouse, red-bellied woodpecker.

Lolly said...

Good morning! My kids are gone. :(
Very quiet around here, except for our cam. Buzz is very loud!

Had a glorious time. Now to rest up!

Sun is shining and 51. First tulip opened today. Mine are all bright red. Also, saw where one of the red oaks has "oak worms" all over it. I like to wait until all the oak blossoms (worms) have fallen to put down mulch.

Red Buds will be in bloom shortly.

Ragdoll said...

Jim, right now when I click, click, click, I get some movement. I will have better luck when I'm home.

Which site has NOAN? I think I have missed this one.

Ragdoll said...

Lolly - sounds like spring has arrived in your yard. Here in Maine, my tulips are just peeking out of the ground. They are early this year.

We have been having great weather this week. Sunshine, 50 + 60's. NICE. Reality hits next week. Cold weather is coming back.

Lolly said...

Yes, spring is really here, but then so is the weekly rain keeping our yard a bog. Sure wish it was not a swamp!

Lolly said...

I am off now to walk and then work some outside.

Mema Jo said...


Noah at WCNC Eagle Cam Charlotte NC


There you go Deb

Mema Jo said...

I am out of here and will touch base later..... May do some shopping after CT.

movin said...

Would ya be likin a wee prayer fer yerself, me friend??

Found this on the Internet yesterday.

An Irish Prayer

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

Jim

hedgie said...

On my way out the door. Should feel like a groomed doggy when I get back! Enjoy your afternoon.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Bird inventory: Wren.

Ragdoll said...

Mema Jo. Thank you for the site. He is soooo cute.I have never seen a eagle nest on the ground

Lolly, I can relate with the rain. We now have a pond in our back yard, not to mention the B - word. I have talked about it so much I don't want to said it anymore until it is positive.

Jim, thank you for The Irish Prayer. That's a keeper

Lynne2 said...

well then, all of your fancy talk of cocker spaniels had CURSED ME.

Just pulling into my drive, saw small black dog wandering in street, risked life and limb trying to save her from being killed and she is now on my porch. She is either very cubby or very pregnant. She is not young, maybe middle aged. Has what appears to be an open abrasion wound on top of her front paw. Given I have never seen her before and this rural area, I am guessing she is a dump. UGH

Ragdoll said...

Well, I will be back later my eagle friends. School is calling me. Go home, take a walk and then a excavator coming to the house.

Have a wonderful afternoon! ^..^

Mema Jo said...

Has Daisy met her yet?????

Mema Jo said...

Yepper! I am back home. Didn't go shopping - Had to come on home and grab some light lunch!

I saw daffodils along US15 South today.
No - I didn't stop to pick any!
Almost did!

paula eagleholic said...

I know exactly where you are talking about, Jo

Eagle up and flapping and away he goes...

Eagle calls

Aww Lynne, poor doggy

paula eagleholic said...

Geesh that sounded like HP

paula eagleholic said...

Man where did those BWE fish go, LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Belle just flew in from the left.

Have ya'll noticed how neat our nest looks, for once, LOL. Except that one or two sticks there in the fluff.

paula eagleholic said...

Dig dig dig in that fluff!

Big wiggle onto the egg

Strewing that fluff around

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle feetsies in view at BWE


Firefox doesn't think feetsies are a word, either!

paula eagleholic said...

Awww wing flaps at BWE

paula eagleholic said...

Listen to my bad grammar....is a word

Mema Jo said...

Taking a short break

magpie said...

Parent checking out our egglet at our nest

magpie said...

and.....back down again

Lynne2 said...

Daisy is DYING to meet her! But I think since I don't know if she may have worms, or may not be vaccinated that it's best I keep them apart for now. My vet has graciously offered to do an exam this evening. I'm not sure what to do after that. I've called the all the county animal controls, posted an ad on Craig's List and called all vets in the area. No one has reported her missing so far.

magpie said...

Never a dull moment is there Lynne....hope all this works out and that rightful owner is a good owner and can soon retrieve the pup

magpie said...

egg checking our nest again

paula eagleholic said...

Lewis and Clark are sleeping outside the bowl, towards the bottom of our view.

Digging our nest

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Eagle Friends,
I slept in very late this morning, and it felt SO good!

Now must "hit the road running", so to speak, to accomplish something.

Haven't really read much of today's blog, but see that I need to wish Norma's Laura a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope it's a really special day for you!

Better go now and do the rest of my homework for tonight's class. Will try to get back here later before school. Have a SUPER day! :o]

hedgie said...

Perfectly coiffed momster back with you. Turned out I WAS a victim of a perm-gone-bad! It hadn't taken!! No wonder I was having so many bad hair days. Re-permed, and cut and feel SO much better!

Myrtle Beach must be idyllic right now. Steve too busy having fun to give us new thread! And blogger cop still doesn't know how to count.

Andy, you are ALWAYS hitting the ground running, girl! Stop and smell the flowers!

Lynne2 said...

Animal control will pick the dog up tomorrow. It kills me to have to do that but I just can't afford to handle another dog's medical bills right now. I have contacted a cocker rescue group in the hopes that they can or will get her from the shelter is she isn't claimed within the 4 whole days they allow. I sure hope they get back to me soon.

hedgie said...

Oh, Lynne...poor little dog. I hope someone has just lost her, but fear you are right about a dump....if she checks out okay with vet and no one claims her, will you keep her???

My first dog here in WV was a dump....and she was the sweetest, most amusing dog. She was a Pom mix and I loved her so much. After she passed away, mom saw a pic of a shelter dog down home up for adoption that looked exactly like her except for being blonde instead of black. We made application the moment we met her, and hey did a home inspection up here (came from Centreville,VA) and we got her, and Ginger had the exact same personality as Nikki had.

hedgie said...

SHaron, saw your pastoral pics on FB----no comment section...what was the big black blob?? Hoping not a Lily!!

Oh....Fess Parker died. I'm sure we all remember him!!

Lynne2 said...

Lynn, the wound is dried and not bleeding and she seems OK otherwise, so I'm not taking her in tonight. Animal Control has a vet on staff and they will do whatever is necessary for her when she comes in. She's had dinner and a potty. She is SOOOOO lovable! Her ears are itchy but no sign of fleas. I'm sure in true cocker fashion she has ear infections in both ears...there is a distinct smell. My vet is so kind in offering the exam at no charge, but there is wound clean up and probably ear meds, if I kept her there would be fecal testing, heartworm testing, vaccinations, etc and while I'd get a huge break on those things, I just really can't afford to take it on.
While it tears my HEART up knowing that she could end up being euthanized, I also know that if I had not found her, she would likely have had a fate worse than death...like starving, maggots in her wound, infection, and even being hit by a car and NOT dying, but wounded so badly that she'd suffer terribly until she did die. This way, she'll be cared for,fed, warm, vetted, maybe an owner will come forward, or she'll get adopted. And if not, then she will have a humane euthanasia. It's a tough situation and I am really sad.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Lynn, which picture were you referring to?

hedgie said...

See where Lynn Rogers is making another visit to the den for some bonding time......I'm still wondering about this approach!

hedgie said...

Three pics looking down a road, house in background, Shar.

Oh, Lynne, understand completely. Heartbreak all around, no matter what, unless owner claims or adoption.

paula eagleholic said...

Lynne - A thought for you....maybe you need to search for a cocker spaniel rescue group.

paula eagleholic said...

Lynne - I posted that last comment without having been caught up. Lynne - you are doing the best for her that can be done, given anyone's situation. How sweet of you to take care of her, try to find her owner, call a rescue group, etc. More than anyone has done for her. If she's that sweet, I'm sure she'll be adopted in a heartbeat.

paula eagleholic said...

For all you know, her owners could be at work right now...and not even know she's missing. Could have escaped from a dog sitter, etc.

paula eagleholic said...

BWE is eating again :)

Outta here, gotta head to the post office...later gators!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

That was just pics of the Peaks of Otter, Lynn.

magpie said...

Lynne, you are angel for what you have thus far for the little lost puppy lass...you have of empathy from this group, for sure...

Mits said...

from BWO....

03/18/10:
Special Note

We have our first osprey sighting of the 2010 season!

Not sure if it's one of our cam adults, but we're just happy to see ospreys back at Blackwater Refuge.

yippee!!!!!!

magpie said...

Here's the site for the International Space Station tracking again...punch in your zip code and search for your area
ISS Tracking

ought to be a fantastic view for us in these parts, right before 9 pm for the Eastern Panhandle WV - High and Bright !


Lynn - I bet you look snazzy ! with the new "do"


Heading out to listen to and watch some birds.

ttfn xo

magpie said...

Ditto that Yippeee Helen Helen ♥

Mits said...

lol, Margy:)

Costume Lady said...

I went out last night about 8:45 and got so excited, thinking I was seeing the ISS, but Gene said it was an airplane...WHAT DOES HE KNOW! Just burts my bubble!
I don't know what kind of object to look for. Who can help me?

Mema Jo said...

Hooray for BWO
Lisa is really pleased about that pic I am sure.

Had a relaxing afternoon
Hubby and I didn't do squat!

Lynne - You are doing the best that anyone could do... really you are doing MORE then anyone would do!
Prayers that somewhere nearby someone is looking for her!

Dinner time here...... BBL

Lynne2 said...

Wanda, just look to the sky from the direction indicated on the web page (here it's coming at us from NNW) and it will be very bright, pretty large and NOT blinking. It will be moving pretty quickly as well. It says it will be at 32* high here which, I THINK, if the zenith straight up is 90* (and I have no idea if that's correct or why I think that) then it would be about a third of the way up from the horizon. Regardless, it should be pretty easy to tell if that's what you are looking at!

Mits said...

NEW THREAD IS UP FOR THURSDAY NIGHT.

Mema Jo said...

Well Wanda - we did see the moon last night! That's one up for us! I saw 2 or 3 airplanes! Maybe you and I will do better tonight!

Mema Jo said...

Whoa! Tune into NBG
Close up of fuzzies....

Mema Jo said...

They got sat upon very quickly!!!!

hedgie said...

My gbaby Jenn took an over-the-handlebars spill on her bike----pretty banged up. Loose tooth and laceration on her chin. Lots of abrasions and bruises. Bringing her to me to assess.....phone pic looks like chin needs sutures or glue---steri-strips aren't going to do it. My heart is crying.

Mits said...

WE HAVE A NEW NIGHTIME THREAD!!!!
