«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 289 of 289I think that the only place fledges have been is from the 4-5 o'clock position. Am I remembering that right?
Hi! I'm back! With a very full tummy. Dinner was delicious! Had a nice time.
Need to catch up here....
lol BEagle - they just said that ugly thing in the Hornby nest is a
midshipman fish.
That is the only Launch Pad that I've ever seen used, Sharon.
Your memory is 'sharp'!
Did you go up to or are you at the LAKE
Karla's anniversary camp out best have a good warm camp fire!
Lynn - did you have cake or pie for dessert?
Evening! Finished planting all the flowers I got for my deck pots~~put on the spotlight! ☺ Now I get to buy some more! And eat so I can have a full tummy like Lynn.
Sharon,you are right! All the pics, films & what I've seen of fledges seems to be from that side. Must be a more clear area.
I only got 2 pics of the Blue Angels--they're too darn fast & were going into the sun. Maybe will put them on anyway-later. I got a really good one last year.
Gonna go nibble~~~~~
Margy, if you catch up in the morning....I saw the moon and could just about make out the horns....and Venus truly was brilliant!
Happy Birthday to your Daddy in Heaven. Wow....101!
I can't remember about the feather, either...thinking MAYBE Lib??
Jo, they had cake, but I did not partake! I'm caked out after the past week!!
Loretta, would have loved to be at your house today to see the Blue Angel perform. Love the aerobatic shows! Hope your knees and legs feel better!
What is a midshipman fish?? Never heard of it.
Ceil, let us know how your day went!
BEagle.....please click on my name or avatar and then click on "email"---or Margy's----we need your mailing address!!
I went to the lake and got Mattie. Taking her back to Bluefield tomorrow.
Not at Karla's Camp Out tonight.
We had a super time last evening, with all of my children and grandchildren and assorted friends;)
Didn't want to be away from GG another night, so we decided to stay home, after checking in on her.
Got to bed last night (this morning) around 2:30pm and up and at em at 6am...not enough sleep.
Going to jump in bed very shortly.
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Have been stewing all day....have a real puzzle. Four areas of HEAVY PS accumulation (planter, propane tank, frame of sliding door on balcony, and log ends on one corner of house)----as if there is a nest above each area....but there is not a nest to be seen anywhere........very strange.
If it is a large propane tank and has a lid on top - watch out when you open it - great place for bird nest. If you mean a small tank for a grill the above will not apply.
Have had that happen before, Jo----scared the PS outta me!!! But I checked, and no nest there this year.
Well I hope you solve the Mystery Poopers!
I am about to head back the hallway.
Wanda glad you had a good time and also thankful GG was fine when you stopped by.
Did you eat the entire Pineapple Upside down Cake, Lynn? All by yourself?
Ready to turn in. Y-a-w-n! Tired and sleepy. Prayers for all, especially Vicki and her family. According to news update today, still no recovery. Very sad.
P.S.
Jo, the P-US-D cake was several weeks ago. This week was my coconut birthday cake that I made, plus the red velvet that Christie bought for me. I ate all of the coconut and about a third of the red velvet...sent the rest of it home with kids.
Wanda, glad you had a nice time last at the party, but understand your desire to come home early.
Night-night.
Hi all! What a day! Buying a car is so nerve racking! We went for the Ford Expedition. It is really pretty....Silver Metallic. Silver interior. Have a funny story. It has Blue Tooth and my phone directory has been loaded into the new car. So, we came home and grilled steaks and opened a bottle of wine. After we ate we decided to go sit in the car and listen to the Serius radio and set some stations. So, we are sitting there (the phone is inside), the phone rings and I have to figure out how to answer. Jack and I sit there and talk to Larry, my brother and on the dash it says "Larry". Weird! Technology is beyond my comprehension!
Just stopping by to say goodnight. Will catch up and tell about the graduation tomorrow. Have one more "assignment" for tomorrow afternoon -- the last home baseball game and my baseball playing students asked if I would come and said I would.
Turning my light off but leaving the night light on for others who may come in late.
Enjoy the baseball game, Judie! I am sure you will!
Nite all!
Sweet dreams!
Fantastic things these new cars can do! You just have to be smarter than the car! lol Good Luck Lolly!
Have a good day tomorrow Judie - don't get a sun burn.. wear a hat!
Good Night All!
Prayers for everyone especially Vicky and family..
I can't believe Lynn ate the whole coconut cake! Well! It was her b-day!
((hugs)) ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Helen pet, I see Mei isn't pregnant, that upsets me,, does this mean both Mei and Tian will be going back to China in December ???

Good morning, Chrissy!
So good to hear from you.
We have missed you and your cheerful e-mail messages. Sounds like you are very busy getting settled in. I am sure the good Lord understands your absence from church.
Woodpecker pecking on my house and on my neighbor's house. Noisy!
Got an ant problem here, and I seem to be out of the aunt baits I use. Gotta do something about that.
Susan and will are still sleeping in this morning. We sat up late last night visiting.
Margy, I like your avatar. Would not have known what kind of flower it is. Very pretty.
Judie, enjoy your baseball game.
Fledges . . . I guess we don't know from what position Hidey fledged, but he/she fledged by accident with the help of a gust of wind late one night when we weren't watching--on May 30. We woke up to find an empty nest that morning.
Good morning all. THe loon cam is back up. Mom was swimming in the distance and I saw the 2 eggs. Mom got back on the nest.
Chrissy so glad to hear from you.
Lynn things went well at the Aquarium yesterday. Learning so much. Really do love it.
Have a great day.
good "SUNDAY" a.m. everyone, have a good one.
Good morning eagle friends.
Good to see you Chrissy!!
Good morning!
Chrissy, what a special treat to see a message from you. Hoping that you and Iris can get together and have a lovely visit. Stay in touch as you have time.
Palmer resting.
Shirley, glad you are having a nice visit with Susan. How are her critters?
Leaving graduation last night, did see the moon pointed toward Venus. Pretty sight. Sat on a bench and looked for a few minutes.
Cool avatar, Margy. Have seen the name Goats Beard and Oyster Flower but never one in bloom. Pretty.
Ceil, glad you are enjoying the aquarium and I can only imagine the fun of all you are learning.
Leaving campus last night, security procedures were being set up for commencement today -- roads being blocked off, etc. I am proud of our students for meeting Mrs. Obama's challenge -- they exceeded the hours of community service.
Off for some coffee and newspaper. Will visit before the game -- and Jo, I will wear a hat. Supposed to be nice today. Strange to have a game on the day of commencement.
Oh, one last thing. Been looking into a steam mop for kitchen floor, Bissell or Shark. Anyone had any experience?
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Yes, Thelma, it was sooo good to hear from Chrissy!
Hated that she wasn't able to stay in her old house, but guess, the Lord has other plans for her.
I have the Shark at the beach condo, and love it:)
SAY WHAT?
OH! Needed to read up a little further...silly me:)
Judie, been meaning to ask...are you able to walk better now?
I use a rag and a bucket of water. Hard on the knees, but does and excellent job. Think I need to get me one of those Sharks;)
Time is flying, this morning. Need to get dressed and outta here.
HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY:)
Morning, all!
Nice cloudy day, great for watching Palmer!
Had a great time at graduation picnic yesterday, got home late last night, and just kinda chilled for awhile. Heading up to Gettysburg today to do some site-seeing with Michael and friends.
5/16/10:
The Friends of Blackwater are now on Facebook. Please take a second to "like" our page, and you can then follow reports from the Refuge.
We also have a discussion section where you can ask questions about the cams.
from BWE...
5/15/10:
Based on live viewing of the Eagle Cam video feed, it appears Avis (our older eaglet) is branching, but neither eaglet is flying just yet.
We'll post new videos later in the week.
Hi Wanda, yes, some of us are getting into Sharks, I guess.
Thank you, Mits. I've done some research and the Shark does have some good reviews. No Consumer Report rating.
I am able to walk short distances but still need to stop to let the legs rest. I have a lady who comes in half-days once a week to help with house work -- she's hands and knees but the floor is white and almost 23 years old -- dingy cause of ground in dirt. So, looking for a way I can clean the floor, if needed, without serious physical pain.
Hi T-Bird.
Hi Paula, hope the festivities were great fun.
Wanda, give GG an extra hug today, please.
You probably already know, don't have time to review posts,
Loon cam is back up
Hello everybody.
My clothes dryer went out and I am trying to get my laundry scene worked out.
I see right next to the posting box that the creature on the Hornby nest is a midshipman fish.
Don't remember ever hearing of that type of fish.
The nest is located out in the ocean sort of, so it makes sense they would bring in strange things. Correct me if I am wrong.
Good morning all.
What a treat to see a post from Chrissy!!! Certainly hoping that Iris gets back in touch....Tues. is only 2 days away!
Judie, glad you made it through graduation....aren't you glad you don't have to go today? Mall already looks like a crazy scene! Enjoy your ball game this afternoon. Hoping the student who fell from 5th floor window wasn't one of yours.
Wanda, you should NOT be on your knees for any reason! I did that on a bum knee for about 5 yrs. and finally said "nevermore" and have had carpeted kitchens and baths ever since!
Sissy, hope you get your work knocked out early so you can enjoy your afternoon.
Anyone notice that since Shar got her new car, she is ALWAYS taking little jaunts??!!
Shirley, so glad you are having a good time with the kids....two mother's days is good!
BEagle, hope you didn't have a load of wet clothes ready for that dryer!
Judie, Susan's critters are okay, except the two chinchillas she already had refuse to accept the third one--the rescued one--so she has to keep them separated. She is also taking care of a couple of chinchilla babies right now. I do not know why she takes on so many critters . . . well maybe I do. She really loves animals.
Lynn, I was really happy when Susan called and said she was on the way down here last night. She is usually too busy to spend much time here.
And my next jaunt is going to Bluefield to participate in my sponsor's 2 year recovery celebration! YAY!
Shhhh, don't tell anyone, but today is the day Rus pops the question. At least, it is the official day the engagement starts. Since she helped pick out the ring, she does know, but he hasn't told her officially when he will give it to her. But since they have a special date tonight, I expect she knows.
He was surprised that I knew about the special date, but his sisters tell me things, and the special date is why he can't be here for our Mother's Day celebration.
Palmer up fro some wing flaps...those wings take up the whole nest!
and a poop shoot, too :)
Good Morning All! Everything is buzzing around here today.
Shirley - I think Russ has an excusable reason for missing the dinner.
Great to see Chrissy in print right here! That gal across the pond really did give us some worries BUT now we are back to norm. I'm sure Iris will not leave without meeting up with her.
Enjoy the game Judie.. After the game from what I am reading, you are free for the summer!
Yepper - our Eagle Eyed Sharon has been putting the miles under her - Sharon are you checking the oil and tire pressure regularly? lol
Ceil - I can't wait for a guided tour as soon as you get 'certified' Road Trip.....
BEagle - looks like they ate to whole midshipman at Hornby!
I am getting ready to head on over for the peonies! CU LATER

Morning, Jim!!! Is CA sunny???? This part of WV is NOT!
Shar, how about planning a trip up here for the 12th?? Have wheels Will travel??
Shirley, just saw an "ask the columnist" thing in the paper today about whether it would be proper to post a pic of an engagement ring on FB....answer was YES! I'm sure that she and Rus are both very excited! And, yep, good reason for him to miss your celebration tonight!
I do have every intention of being there on the 12th! :-)
WHOO HOO!
Over the mountain I go!
BBILW
Quick visit,
NBG eaglet Camelia has started to branch. She's the one with the transmitter. Others soon to follow, no doubt.
Palmer busy rearranging furniture near the tree. Looks windy.
Yes, it's over for me -- the semester, that is. Now can try to plant some flowers and help with some yard work -- mostly trying to figure out what to do about the snow-damaged shrubs that are not recovering.
Shirley, enjoy the day and enjoy knowing Russ has a very good reason for not being with you. Thanks for the update on Susan's critters. I really want to get more furry companions but haven't been able to convince Darth.
Um, BEagle, I know a place where your dead dryer can find happiness in the laundry afterlife -- a dead washer is hidden far, far away disguised as a shiny garland.
Palmer is studying the tree trunk?
Hi Judie!!
LOL, Judie.....washer/dryer combo in disguise!!
Sharon, SO glad you plan to join us. Wanda and I will be putting our heads together this week to finalize plans!!
On of the momsters on Yahoo sent this link:
Florida eagle pair
Thanks for the link, Lynn.
Happy Sunday Everyone.
So glad to see Chrissy's message!!!!You go, girl! Hope she & Iris can get together.
Nice to see there were some celebrations for some of our Momsters~~~Lynn, Wanda, Shirley & Paula! (Hope I got everyone!) And Judie gets the see the game!!
Got some fun chores (plants)& should go in to work to finish some banners. Saw a fox there briefly on Fri., but they stopped cutting the grass in our front field, so it's blocking those great hedgerow views.
Off to do something ☺ ☺ ☺
That was "one" of the momsters---Karen by name!
Gotta get ready to go to my meeting...we will be selecting a name for our group...we have been going by Unchain Berkeley, but with the proposed ordinance heading for adoption, we will be expanding our animal advocacy, so need a broader name!
Then my puter geek will be coming after I get home....so see y'all later!
Palmer still laying against tree at 6-7 spot. Must be waiting for lunch~~~
Watching Michelle Obama speaking at GW commencement.
Funny how Palmer leans against the tree.
Hi again.
I am watching Palmer stretch those wings out.
If the babies fledged from the 4 or 5 position then do you suppose that is why Palmer is hugging the cam tree?
With the help of my computer geeks, I believe that the belt came off the drum in the dryer.
It stopped with half dry clothes so I am carrying my clothes to one of my neighbor friends.
Palmer is backing up and....
Too close to the edge Palmer.
Reminds me of something I want to share with you.
Be right back.
I always enjoy the different kinds of graduation outfits the professors wear.

If you highlight the above address, copy, then paste it in your browser at the top of a window, it will take you to one of the funniest eagle videos I have ever seen. (ONE of the funniest.)
It was done in 2007 and I am sure many of you have seen it before but it may give you a chuckle.
Sorry, I don't have MS OutLk.
Palmer at the 6 position...preening
I see. Yes, that is the 6 o'clock position.
About this same time last year, I learned about Hidey. I remember looking on that Saturday morning near 10am and he already flew off.
I think FF crashed briefly.
BEagle, I don't remember exactly when I first started watching Hidey, but I think I watched about a month before the fledge. I first posted a message on the morning of the fledge when everyone was wondering what happened to Hidey. I have written a note to myself that it was 8:59 AM when I first posted a message.
