I guess I can venture on here as a #1 commenter. I hope everyone enjoys this cool weekend! Thanks for the fresh thread Steve.

stronghunter said...

Thanks Jo and Steve.

stronghunter said...

Got a little scare. It almost looked like the nest was completely empty. I could not see Palmer or an adult at first. Then I refreshed and everything is okay.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning to ALL in Eagleland.

Shirley that would have been scary.

Need to read comments on other thread. Some I haven't read yet.

wvgal_dana said...

Palmer wiggling around in nest. Getting himself in position and there it goes a poop shoot.

Mema Jo said...

Man I just lost all of my reports on the osprey nests!
Wildwatch - 1 osprey
BWO - osprey platform beginning to look comfy in the center of all those sticks!
CT - osprey on 2 eggs - there was a fly-by and nesting osprey got her wings flapping as she stood up off her eggs.
AppArt - no osprey yet in that grassy nest but the eagle is up on the post.

hedgie said...

Good morning, eagle dudettes and dudes.
Sad morning here in WV, but probably not a terribly unexpected outcome. Prayers for all the families.

hedgie said...

Thanks for summary, Jo!
Still too sunny here in sunroom to see screen very well. Guess I'll do some chores while the sun makes a higher track!

Lolly said...

Good morning! So, envious of your sunroom, Lynn. I am sure it is beautiful. Wish I had more windows in this house! When I win the lottery this evening, I will get those windows! lol

Wanda, I had my first cup of coffee reading the paper. Having the second cup now.

Ahhh, Palmer is all curled up in the egg cup.

Lolly said...

Going to go load some pictures to Hawkwood. Took picture of Columbine and Lady Banks roses yesterday.

magpie said...

oh there goes baby towards the edge of the nest

Good Morning everyone
xo

magpie said...

Wanda
My kitchen has quite the fragrance this morning...ramps...
all cleaned and separated, leaves from roots...
I have packaged some up for you and the Captain, will get them to you over the week-end

magpie said...

Best wishes for a great day everyone
ttfn xo ♥

Mema Jo said...

I'm not having any luck getting the owl cam opened this morning.. Still trying.

Mema Jo said...

Margy - you make it a good one too!

Mema Jo said...

Palmer is all alone and it's time to roam!

Lolly said...

Wish I lived close to Margy, so she could drop by my house. I would certainly LOVE that...not for the ramps, but for MARGY!!!!♥♥

Have added 10 (I think!) new pictures to my Hawkwood Gardens blog. Come visit my garden! I only take pictures of pretty things......NOT the bog!!!

Lolly said...

I am now off to eat and then head outside. Jack is already out. Can hear him hammering. He is replacing some fence panels.

Have a great day!

Lolly said...

Oh, the first picture is of the Lady Banks roses. There is a gate under those roses. lol Guess we really need to trim them back.☺

normabyrd said...

WHOA! MARGY----Save some RAMPS for me---I had forgotten it was time for them!---LOVE 'EM!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING MISS NORMA! What a treat to see you on here:):)

Costume Lady said...

We have a small patch of ramps growing behind my shop...need to check them out! Keep forgetting they are there until someone mentions RAMPS in the Spring.

Mema Jo said...

Pictures of your garden are so beautiful. I would like to walk in your garden, Lady!


Hello Norma
Hope the visit from Lisa and doggies went wonderfully well!

Mema Jo said...

Taking a Lunch Break

BBILW

wvgal_dana said...

Well Good Eagleland Morning Normabyrd !! ( :

Finally got caught up on the comments.

MitsArticle on the falcon from Rachel Carson Bldg. Sounds like she fought and got a new nest in Wilmington, Delaware.

MeganThe video and article about sighting of Bald Eagle and nest with 2 chicks in Hinton, WV. Is AWESOME!!! Thank you ( :
That guy has been looking for 2 years it said. Now he'll be spending more time someone needs to tell his wife. Cause he will be watching that nest like crazy. He did mention a nest in Shepherdstown, WV. He did not say anything about chick/s.

Hummmm wonder if there are other people that do that LOL

Costume Lady said...

I just visited Hawkwood Gardens and enjoyed my walk very much, thank you!
Beautiful columbines...the all yellow ones are the ones that Lolly sent to me (seeds). I don't think they are going to bloom this year:( Next year, for sure!

T-Bird said...

Our little one sure is growing.

paula eagleholic said...

Afternoon, all!

Had a blast watching the tee ball game!

paula eagleholic said...

Palmer and adult at the back of the nest

Going to grab some brunch, then head out to finish the mowing...temp is 55° here

paula eagleholic said...

Aha, the ramps have awakened Norma!

Judie said...

Morning everyone.

Don't know about ramps but do know about cucumber salad which is now in the frig chillin out.

Very sad outcome for the miners and their families. My heart goes out to them.

Palmer and adult enjoying the sunshine. One osprey at Lock Garten. Need to check on more cams.

BBL

stronghunter said...

Good afternoon!

Time to head out and do some errands.

BBL.

stronghunter said...

No more Hunter drama today. I expect he and his dad are having a good time together. He was probably just very tired last night.

Kathryn said he was hysterical and wanted his teddy bear. Last time he was here, he gathered all of the stuffed animals he found around here--there are quite a few--and put them into bed with him. I love that. There won't be too many more years of that kind of thing for him.

Kathryn is going to come over and download her tax software onto my computer. I was getting ready to go buy a program. I just need to get started. Once I do that, I usually finish up without too much trouble. I used to pay a lawyer to do my taxes, but I've done quite well on my own for several years now. I had to provide the lawyer the same information I have to input into the tax program. Might as well save the money and do it myself. Thank goodness for computers.

BEagle said...

Good afternoon. Just dropped in to say "HI" and Palmer is napping with his foot stuck out. Even wiggling toes. Too cute and too close to the edge of nest for me.

Prayers going up to those who lost loved ones.

May tax preparations go smoothly and quickly.

hedgie said...

Nice day to be doing outdoor stuff. Not too hot or too chilly---just about perfect, if the stupid wind would die down! Now need to bathe and start getting ready for this funeral service.

Judie, forgot to say that I'm glad the play was good. Tyne Daly has let herself mature/age her own way---no frills, no junk, just naturally. Wish she'd do another tv series!

hedgie said...

Palmer stretching out like he really wants to see what's outside the nest! What a cutie. Tomorrow will be his 2-week birthday!!!

hedgie said...

Don't think that 46º showing on cam page is correct! More like 66º!!

hedgie said...

Shirley, except for the year I became disabled when I took some money out of my 401K to pay off the house, I have used TurboTax every year since 2000. Never had any trouble! Makes it so easy!! I usually get done and have my moolah back by middle of Feb.!!

movin said...



+++++++++++++++++++
GOOD MORNING

TO YOU ALL ....

C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

hedgie said...

Well, gonna get a move on. Everyone enjoy your day. Glad to see that Norma and T-bird checked in!! See you tonight.

BEagle said...

There it was, another toe wiggle.
If that's Lib on the nest, he doesn't seem too concerned about Palmer at the edge of the nest.

movin said...

Re taxes:
Thanks for reminding me, people.

You can also do the Turbo Tax scene, plus other kinds of software, paid and free, on-line.

I got started doing Turbo Tax (with a discount) through the company that handled our 401 K where I last worked.

My uncle pointed me to the government sponsored, free software on-line, and I'm going to try that now that I don't have so much to file.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

BEagle said...

Palmer looks in a good position now.
Using that big stick for a pillow.

Later.

paula eagleholic said...

Lynne - time flies! Palmer will be 3 weeks old tomorrow!

paula eagleholic said...

Shared some pics on FB of Michael and Laura at her sorority formal...will post on my blog later with pics of Tball fun.

paula eagleholic said...

Palmer snoozing at 10ish...all alone in the nest.

movin said...

I was reading the thing on "ramps" in Wikipedia again ... "wild onion or leek".

Did you know that the name "Chicago" comes from a Potawatomi word for ramp or skunk?? Seems they had big fields of ramps, which rotted after a while, in that area originally....


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

Mema Jo said...

Good Afternoon - sun is shinning but there sure is a nip in the air.

Headed out shortly to Mass
Will touch base upon my return.

Palmer has had a snoozing day in the sunshine.

paula eagleholic said...

Taking a quick break from the yard...can I say it's HOT out there!

BEagle said...

Adult is back with a beak full of fluff.

paula eagleholic said...

Palmer headed for adult and 6ish for food! peep! Peep!

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, he stopped halfway...peep peep

paula eagleholic said...

aw what a good Mom, she brought the food back

BEagle said...

Curious Palmer walking toward adult. I think it's Lib, picking around the dinner table.
And now back with Palmer to feed.

paula eagleholic said...

Back out to finish the yard, then in for a shower, heading to friends for dinner and drinks!

BEagle said...

Poop shoot from Palmer.

BEagle said...

Have a really good time!!!

Out the door.......later.

movin said...


Here's a very interesting report from Santa Cruz ... new nests, new eggs, lots of beautiful pictures.

Jim



Northern Island Reports ..

movin said...



Talk to you later, gotta go.

paula eagleholic said...

Here's the bleeding heart in my yard ♥

T-Bird said...

Paula, I love it.

T-Bird said...

Thanks Hedgie. My computer has and is out of order.

T-Bird said...

I hope my eagle peeps are making a good day. Justin and I have just been hanging out. Mattie and Sharon have gone to Richmond with a friend.

Mema Jo said...

Back from chuch! Finished off the chili and I still like it best when it is warmed up as leftovers.

Going to sit outside awhile

BBILW

magpie said...

cool item about Chicago and ramps, Jim, whevever you are now

our eaglet is beginning to look more like a toddler now than a baby

BEagle said...

Bleeding heart is simply beautiful.

I think I will finish up my chili also. One bowl left. Yum.

Palmer getting a meal, scooting up close so Belle doesn't have to stretch so far. He is very attentive at this time. I wonder why.

magpie said...

Paula's pink bleeding hearts, and Diann's white bleeding hearts, they are pretty
all the flowery things are pretty the avatars, the picture links

Shirley
glad Hunter was able to tough it out....know what you mean about the stuffed animal things

magpie said...

perfect night here for the Sunset funeral service that Lynn is at right now

magpie said...

should be a good night to see Venus and Mercury again when darkness advances....
after the 15th Mercury will be too hard to find in the twilight, but Venus will increase in visibility

magpie said...

chuch
deets
we have a lot of fun with our typos!

magpie said...

Palmer getting snuggled in under Mom

magpie said...

hope everyone's evening is a nice one
I'm searching for the what the Energy Bandit stole from me much earlier in the day
bbl

BEagle said...

Belle (or Lib?) goes back to the cup and Palmer pads along behind and tries to get up under Belle. Belle rearranging all the fluff.

BEagle said...

I think that is Lib. I think he is trying to sit on Palmer. Haven't seen that for a while.

BEagle said...

Na. Palmer too big to sit upon.

magpie said...

bEAgle, I never know much which one it is either, figure Mom has the bedtime routine most of the time ♥


Megan market on Sunday?
just checking, not sure I can get there even so but helps to know
pls and thanks

magpie said...

that is so cute with Palmer's head showing forward of the eagle
Belle's little stuffed animal

magpie said...

I have a cousin who is a school teacher and church activity group leader
slipped and fell playing kick ball
broke arm and wrist
her school fixed her up with
"Dragon Naturally Speaking"
which types as she talks
her email is impeccable!
Cool, huh!

BEagle said...

Just too cute!

BEagle said...

What is that? Dragon Naturally Speaking? How does that work?

magpie said...

BEagle
sorry I have been typo-ing your moniker wrong!
think I have it now ☺

Mema Jo said...

Momma Owl cam is up/running for me now

Starting to watch a movie on TV

BBILW

magpie said...

She talks into something, computer seems to recognize most of what she says...guess she has to re-speak it if it comes out wrong
I knew there were programs like this but never knew anyone who used one
Very crafty idea!

BEagle said...

Both adults on the nest. Spidey walking up tree. That musta been Belle and she took off again.

I think she picked something up off the nest.

BEagle said...

Palmer peeping at Lib.

magpie said...

have fun Paula, figure you are out on the town now
you could NEVER scare the kiddies, or the adults for that matter!
You're probably the youngest looking grandmother at the ballfield
will look forward to pictures

magpie said...

The duo is out, Venus and Mercury.
If Venus is the center of the clock face, Mercury is at about
4 o'clock
will look a little clearer when more darkness moves in but then they both are setting too so it won't be visible for very long

time to make a visit with elderly neighbor
bbl ttfn xo ♥

Judie said...

Good early/late evening.

Dinner over, most of the laundry done, and I am really tired.

Jo, which owl cam do you watch? I am having trouble with connecting with owl cams. Well, please keep me posted. Did get to see Palmer a few times today. And, I saw the Lock Garten nest with an osprey doing some nestorations. Is that Isla?

Going to turn my light out really early tonight. Just can't seem to muster any energy the past few days. Will leave the night light on for others. Goodnight everyone.

magpie said...

Hey there Judie!

I think Loch Garten is EJ, her mate would be Odin
and Loch of the Lowe's is Isla, if she has managed to rule the roost at the nest

Good Night xoxo

floralgirl said...

Sorry I missed you, Margy. The answer is yes....

wvgal_dana said...

Remember the Eagle that was shot. It was rescued in Ada, OK. by WildCare Animal Rescue.
I wrote to them asking how the Eagle is doing.

Dana, We are trying to keep people posted on her progress on our www.facebook.com/WildCareOklahoma page. I just finished feeding her tonight and she ate with a bit more energy. I gave her a piece of meat that I thought was too big for her so I reached back for it and she tried to pull it from me. We love to see a little spark in her. We should get her lab work back in a few days. Thank you for caring about wildlife!

Rondi
www.WildCareOklahoma.org


So there we can keep an eye on how the Eagle is doing.

magpie said...

10-4 Megan
Hope I can make it
Thanks

Thanks for that update too Dana

magpie said...

forgot to mention earlier
I saw two Tiger Swallowtail butterflies today
and one Mourning Cloak ☺
that's also a butterfly
both have yellow on them ☺

wvgal_dana said...

Here is the link to the facebook page
WildCareOklahoma Rescue

Mema Jo said...

2 Little White Fluffy Hooties are visible in the Momma Owl MN Bound nest.

magpie said...

I tried to look Mema but it is dark on my screen :(
are you still seeing them?

Mema Jo said...

Yes She is still away from her nest it looks like (in the dark)

Sandra and Lynne are watching (They are over on FB)

Look right smack in the middle of the screen

NatureNut said...

Good Evening Everyone!! Never got on here last night---got home late & today at Park was Real busy.We had annual River Cleanup. 70 volunteers!!! Most ever. Many were teens from other rec. ctrs. who get their 3 hours toward community service.
My eyes were closing in front of TV, so had to get some coffee. My stepson from TN is here visiting us for awhile. DIL had her high school reunion.
Margy, so glad you mentioned butterflies---Wed. & Fri. I saw zebra swallowtails at farmhouse office. I love them!!!
Mom eagle was standing in the nest this PM. Wish I was WAY taller!!☺
Gotta go====

magpie said...

Hi there NN
thought of you when I saw the
B-flies
sounds like a great day at the Park!
I see NASCAR is on, are you watching

Okay Jo - I'll try again and then again mid-day Sunday ☺ thanks

Lolly said...

Hello all! Worked all day in the yard. My right hand is stiff from all the work. Bathed and got into pj's, before supper! I am pooped!

magpie said...

Hi Lolly
Loved your pictures...I had some columbines once bred from Colorado seeds...back at a former roost

put some pictures on Wildflowers and Fun and Dandy links

includes the Jack-in-the-Pulpit, on Wildflowers, will have to check its progress in a few days

stronghunter said...

Stopping by to say good night. Got the tax program installed and the figuring mostly completed. I knew I would have to pay this year, but wish I could bring those numbers down a bit. I have a little time to play around with them, but can only do so much with them.

wvgal_dana said...

PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL AND SEE IF YOU GOT AN EMAIL FROM ME - VERY IMPORTANT.

stronghunter said...

Funny. Kathryn's neighbor can't understand why she isn't bored when she's home alone for the weekend. The woman sounds like a teenager.

stronghunter said...

Got your message, Dana. Prayers for you and your family.

magpie said...

I also received your message, Dana....prayers for your niece, and the health care providers...
long road to wellness coming up for her
(( hugs ♥ ))

magpie said...

hope you can get those figures re-arranged Shirley...

hedgie said...

Home and settled in. Nice service---very large crowd. SRO! Highly unusual.. So cool----friend (new widow)Diane asked if she could bring their dog in for the service. Funeral home said SURE! So Camry sat at her feet the whole time. How cool is that???

Carolyn and I went to Olive Garden for dinner afterward. I will be heading back over Boonsboro way SOON----saw a place selling carved EAGLES---closed this evening. Gotta check it out!

So neat that Rondi answered you so promptly, Dana. News sounds encouraging.

hedgie said...

Glad that they are on FB for easy following.

magpie said...

welcome home Lynn that sounds wonderful...
Cronise in Boonsboro on Rt 40 out of town on the right,
has some way cool things, not sure if that is the place you went
many birdhouses, garden benches,
and many novelties...you could spend some $ $ here...
but Megan has plants at market and she will be in Shepherdstown Sunday ☺

Lolly said...

Hi Margy! I posted on here and then went off to fb. I am back now. Thanks for the comments on my garden. It is beginning to shape up and really enjoy all the things in bloom! We lost a lot of fern and lawn to all the rain. Have a lot of work to replace stuff. Groan!

Lolly said...

I was out at Target today and ran into some parents of former students. Tonight I had 2 friend requests from two of those kids. One has graduated from college and is now teaching pre-k. The other is was in my last class and he is now in high school. Amazing!

Lolly said...

Hey Norma! Texas Stadium comes down tomorrow morning. They are imploding it early in the morning. We have the TV set to record it. NOT getting up to watch. lol

hedgie said...

Margy, not familiar with it at all! I remember a place near there somewhere that used to have all kinds of neat Native American Indian jewelry, clothing, etc. but don't recall seeing Cronis's.
The place I saw the eagle was on Rt. 68...between Devils Backbone Park and Rt. 40. Maybe we could go on one of your off-days!

wvgal_dana said...

Did you all read on Janet (Nilla's) facebook page about her surgery? Cancer taken out of the right side of her forhead. She has 34 stitches. Please send up those prayers!!!!!!!!!!!

magpie said...

Thanks Dana, I do not have facebook, one of these days....
yes, prayers for Nilla...
I am sorry to hear of this
Just learned Friday that girlfriend of a special friend has a brain tumor....
still being evaluated
too sad, all the way around

magpie said...

yes, maybe so, Lynn, a road trip!
Won't have a free unfettered day for a couple of weeks...
don't want to make a far out trip when I could get called in to work

hedgie said...

Prayers for Dana's niece, for Nilla, and for Margy's friend's friend. As well as for many, many more, including Chrissy, and my neighbor Diane.

Mema Jo said...

Good Late Evening! Hubby and I watched a TV movie "At Risk" Really good!
Lynn & Margy - Cronise Market on the east side of Boonsoboro on RT 40A is from where George the Eagle Sissy took home was purchased. They have lovely items

magpie said...

Wow Jo
didn't know George came from there...
I was a ga-ga with all the wood products, put a few pics on the Fun & Dandy link....love the "Flower Beds" that someone on here was talking about a few days ago...

Mema Jo said...

Oh Hedgie - I have been trying to get back onto RT 68
Those posts with Eagles are super. Let me know when you all may want to go.
I have only passed it once - and I was in a hurry to get to where I was going.

Mema Jo said...

Margy - he was housed back in the wooden shed/building. She got it for me from the man in New Market area.

Did you come on up and over the mountain? OR did you stop in at Washington Monument Park... I need to read back over your comments.

magpie said...

Hi Jo
We came from Shepherdstown, through Sharpsburg,
Oh yeah, that back shed was something else! and the Wind Chimes! I could keep the entire neighborhood awake with some of them ♥

magpie said...

really made me hanker for a homeplace with some land...

but I will only buy my plants from Megan at Market ☺

hedgie said...

Well, dear friends, I will bid you a fond farewell for this day. Sleep tight. Watch out for stinkbugs!!!

hedgie said...

OK, Jo....you can certainly make the trek, too! I almost wrecked the truck I was so surprised and couldn't stop gawking!!

magpie said...

I'll be checking out soon too, maybe in 17 minutes or so

Going to try tomorrow to make it to market, church, GG's to deliver ramps,
and not sure what else, and all of it could change if work calls me in

More or less Good Night for now, all, prayers for our new and long-standing needs...

God Bless Us, Every One

xo ♥

Mema Jo said...

Just closed my FB - Prayers for Nilla
She is going to have a whopper of a headache tomorrow with 34 stitches.
Sure hope she heals quickly.

Lots of prayers needed for lots of people for many things. He hears all prayers.

Heading back the hallway.

Don't think I will make it to market tomorrow - But would love to get some of that fresh asparagus!

Good Night All
(((hugs))) ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Ragdoll said...

Hello and Good Night My Eagle Friends. I have about 6 min. to get a post in for today. Real Busy. Like a lot of you--taxes, taxes, taxes. Yuk

Prayers for all need and sleep well. Eagle Dreams. ^..^

Lolly said...

Oh, I LOVE wind chimes, Margy. When we have wind around here you KNOW it! LOL Do not know what the neighbors think, but houses are not too close. Hope it does not bother them.

I am headed to bed. This time of night lately my eyes start watering. You would think I was crying....but I'm not.

Prayers going up for those in need. Sweet dreams!

Mema Jo said...

Happy Birthday PAULA
May your day be special and all your wishes come true



HAPPY BIRTHDAY

magpie said...

And from Magpie's Roost also!
The Audubon Clock chimed Whoo Whoo Whoo, straight up midnight !

Happy Birthday dear Paula

Hope this is your BEST BIRTHDAY ever, filled with all your favorite things.

Lots of Love ♥
xoxo ♥ ☺ Magpie

wvgal_dana said...

Prayers for Lynn's friend Diana, Margy's friend with tumor, Nilla, Shally-My Neice, Officers wife that is going to have tripletts, God prayers that I just can't recall but you know them. Prayers and may all the Praise and Glory Lord be given unto YOU.

Peace my friends, God Bless, I pray you sleep well--me and doggie still on couch. Good Night.

Costume Lady said...

So sorry to hear about Dana's niece. It sounds very serious...big time prayers for her...she is also MY niece. She is Gene's deceased brother's daughter.

GOOD NIGHT TO MY FRIENDS
SLEEP TIGHT
MANY PRAYERS TONIGHT

Ragdoll said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAULA !!

May your day be all that you want and more.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR PAULA. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Everyone!
Finally getting here--gonna clobber this wacky computer! Gotta figure out how to troubleshoot.

Oh, my! Bigtime prayers for Dana's (and Wanda & Gene's) niece! For Nilla, too! Also for Margy's friend's friend. For Chrissy and family, too! Gosh, just going to say some big prayers for everyone tonight, and hope for the best!

Beginning to get pretty tired, so think I'll call it a night. Leaving the porch light and the night light on for everyone, and enabling the eye scanner security. Hope everyone has a really restorative night's sleep. Good night, and God bless, and I'll talk to you tomorrow morning, if my wretched computer cooperates! Love all of you guys! :o]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAULA!

Mits said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAULA:)

Mits said...

morning everyone, have a good one.

ceil said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAULA

stronghunter said...

Good morning.

Chilly morning here. All is well at the nest. I don't see Palmer. I am sure she is tucked away under mom staying warm.

Guess I will watch them implode the stadium, Lolly. Just about 15 minutes.

stronghunter said...

Happy birthday, Paula.

Mits said...

looks like the male osprey has arrived at the FINLAND osprey nest.

Judie said...

Good morning,

Heartfelt prayers for Dana's and Wanda & Gene's niece, Nilla, and Margy's friend.

Margy, thank you for the as-the-osprey-nest turns update.

Shirley, I recall Shirley you saying a neighbor created a flower "bed." I think that would be a hoot. Also glad you have your taxes almost finished but sorry you have to pay.

Happy birthday, Paula.

Mits said...

FINLAND OSPREY NEST

hedgie said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR PAULA,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!


Hope you have fun things planned!! And that you have many, many more!!
Love ya', galfriend!

hedgie said...

Morning all!

Ha, ha, Judie and Shirley: a bed garden sure beats the stupid commode planters we sometimes see around here!!

Still quite wintery in Finland.
33º here----brrr.

Mits said...

both o's at Finland now, they have really dug that hole deeper.

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Gosh it looks like lots of prayers are needed for so many folks today. I had the email re Dana's niece last night but am just now reading the rest.

I can hardly walk myself this morning. I have done something to my hip. Happened yesterday guess I just moved wrong. Hard to drive home even. Anyway Dex and I need to try to walk somewhere and head for coffee then I guess back to bed or take pressure off of it.

Happy Birthday Paula I hope your day is special and you feel celebrated.

stronghunter said...

Yes, I am just as happy that there wasn't a commode in the yard next door. She worked very hard on that yard. It is too bad that she didn't think about how large the trees she planted would get. They were fine when they were a couple of feet or so tall, but they grew.

Prayers of all of those who are troubled or ill today--Nilla, the friends of Margy and Lynn, and the niece of Dana and Wanda and Gene, and, of course, Chrissy and her family.

Our little eaglet is wallowing around in the egg cup. Parent sitting close by. It is amazing how fast that little critter has grown.

stronghunter said...

BRRR!! It still looks cold in Finland.

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all!

Can hear a crow near the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

I think Belle just told that crow to leave!

paula eagleholic said...

and I think it did, I don't hear it

paula eagleholic said...

Belle just arrived moments before Lib in the nest...screeching. Lib just dropped of breakfast!

paula eagleholic said...

Belle was sitting up in the tree above Palmer. Now she's at the back with the fish.Palmer is ready to eat!

Still trying to catch up from last night!

stronghunter said...

Was checking out a website when I heard squealing and hollering from Palmer. Had make a quick check of the nest. I guess she was happy to see both parents there.

BEagle said...

Good morning everyone. I trust this day brings you much joy.

Happy Birthday to you Paula Eagleholic.

Mits said...

Paula, I sure would not be surprised to see an egg at BWO before the end of your Birthday:)

Mits said...

Giant Panda Mei Xiang is doing everything is slow motion today....getting into the slow-mo, hopefully by the end of the month we will have good news...or we will just go on like always

paula eagleholic said...

A birthday egg would be cool :)

paula eagleholic said...

I had a great birthday surprise last night!

I was going over to GF for dinner, so I had to run to grocery store for a lime for the margaritas. I was zipping thru the store, and turned around the end of the aisle, and saw one of Michael's friend and GF talking to someone. So I was zipping by and gave him a friendly punch on the arm, then stopped to turn around and say hello.

When I turned around, there was Michael! I didn't recognize him from the back with his new haircut, which I had already seen!

It was way too funny! He came home to surprise me for my BD, and saw his friends walking up to the store, so he went in to talk to them! I said good thing he did, cause when he got home, I wouldn't have been there.

So, he joined me at GF house and surprised them when he walked in the door! Had a great evening, got home too late to get on here.

I think that the crow that was chased from the Sycamore Palace is here...just outside my window making an awful sound!

Costume Lady said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PAULA♪♫
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!♪♫
Who knows, maybe a little grandaughter will surprise you today:)

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - thanks for the FB page for the OK rescue group!

BEagle said...

To those concerning the discussion of why the sun sets earlier on the PH and TH nests than it does at the OR and the Sidney nests...

This is what I have studied so far....

Because of the curve of the earth and the curve of the West Coast the TH and PH nests actually precede the other two nests.

At least that's what a good time zone map showed me.

The cam on the OR nest actually reads our EST time. ??

paula eagleholic said...

They have a cam on the injured OK eagle!

OK injured eagle cam

I can't get anything on that cam at the moment

BEagle said...

I also wanted to that the person that published the link to the rescued eagle. Good news about her too!

paula eagleholic said...

Here's an update on injured eagle w/ video

OK eagle update

BEagle said...

My apple blossoms are still on the up and up. : )

paula eagleholic said...

Oh Wanda, I hope not! Ajay and I both do not want her born on either or our birthdays...we want her to have her own!

paula eagleholic said...

Great BEagle! I don't think my apple tree made it this year...still watching and waiting.

Costume Lady said...

Gotta get a move on!
HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY♥

Costume Lady said...

Oh Paula...Gene and our dog "Missy" shared a birthday and neither one minded a bit;)

paula eagleholic said...

♥♥Thank you all for the lovely Birthday wishes!♥♥

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning All!
Sounds like you had a fantastic Pre birthday celebration Paula. Talk about Fate or coincidence - Thank goodness for Limes! lol Hope today is special for you!

Palmer seems to be doing well this am
Momma Owl that I talk about is really named "Minnie" and the male is "Soda"

BEagle said...

Gosh. When I go back and see my typos....

Thank you for sharing the FB link for the injured Bald Eagle and also the KFOR update. I don't think thier cam is up and ready yet.

BEagle said...

Will you be calling Momma, Minnie now?

Mema Jo said...

I am headed West my friends. I'll keep my eyes to the skies - probably only see the hawks...
Paula - the blue Happy Birthday from my wishes last night is a link for your b-day song

I'll be backkkkkkkkkkkk !

Mema Jo said...

I think so... It's like we like to hear other forums say Lib & Belle & Palmer. Maybe I will call her
Momma Minnie or I could say M&M -
However, M & M has another special meaning on here Maggie and Mollie
Granddaughters of Mits.

paula eagleholic said...

OH, thanks JO, I didn't realize that!

Lolly said...

Good morning! Just a quick peek in, gotta get ready for church. However, wanted to say.....

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Paula Eagleholic ☺
Happy Birthday to youuuuuuuu...and many morrrrreeee!

Have a great day!



Also, thanks Paula for the update on the eagle. It is great to have hope!

Have a great day!

BBAC ☺

BEagle said...

Momma Minnie sounds good but makes for a lot of typing.

Who determines the names? I would think those that are closest.

Flyboy? Never. Sounds like the name of a retriever.

paula eagleholic said...

Flyboy was a name that some forum gave Hidey last year...

paula eagleholic said...

PH is Zoomed in for a better look at the chicklets.

time for some breakfast!

paula eagleholic said...

Enjoy your day, Jo!

BEagle said...

OK. I thought Flyboy was an attempt at naming Palmer.

I see.

BEagle said...

The OR nest is still clear of snow!
It snowed just a little yesterday but did not amount to anything.

hedgie said...

Thanks for links for OK eagle, Paula....can't get the cam to open. Just an as-the-world-turns sign, even tho' pop-up ads appear and the clock counter is running.
Neat that Michael came to surprise you and you surprised him!!!

BEagle said...

WOW. Look at that pose on the nest. Is the LIB?

hedgie said...

Happy 3 wk. b-day to Palmer!!!

BEagle said...

So majestic. No wonder the Bald Eagle is deemed the National Bird.

BEagle said...

It looked like Palmer was going to imitate that pose. Cute.

paula eagleholic said...

Remaining Sidney egg hatched late last night or this morning!

BEagle said...

It's a Palmer nap time now.

paula eagleholic said...

Sidney chick hatched this morning...

stronghunter said...

Good to know that the Sidney chick hatched.

Palmer is napping away, but being closely supervised.

I will return later.

stronghunter said...

I can't tell that there is a nest at Delta, but there is an eagle sitting on a branch, and I just saw another one fly by.
