«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 500 of 500Did you see that the fledglings are back on the nest at BWE??
Also, at NBG at least one eaglet has fledged, and when I looked, two or three of them were in to serious branching.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Palmer flapping and calling ...not sure what all that was about!
Jim, 2 have fledged at NBG
Aw, Shirley, that's cute.
Still lots of flapping and calling out!
Feed me , Feed me!!
That's my guess and I'm sticking to it! :)
Palmer sounds like a whining puppy. I remember Hidey doing that. I had to check to see if Flash might be making that sound, but it is Palmer. Wonder if the parents are nearby?
We decided to order Chinese tonight. I am getting hungry. My brain is shot. One kid was writing about something the United Nations said 100 years ago. My brain is not that shot. I know the UN was not around 100 years ago!
Good Memorial Day Afternoon Eagle ♀'s and ♂'s
Thinking of all our Military, many on here have offered beautiful thoughts about the day...
and the Special Men and Women this day is for....
Both ospreys at BWO -
that's one of the signs....hatching could be near
Hi, Margy.
Special thoughts for all our Veterans here, and everywhere, and their families...
with Love and Great Thanks
Dana thank you for your special thoughts about the memorial at Rosedale, your patriotic attire and the information about the flags...
(( hugs ♥ ))
Just wanted to stop and say HI. Blog makes me hungry and sort of want to garden but was going to do the topsy turvy thing with tomatoes and strawberries, not so sure now.
Quickly got concerned about hope so didn't even post thought oh my first time on in days and now I am depressed and worried. Went to read Lily Update and It is positive Hope seems perkier this morning. She readily ate the formula we brought and some pecans. -- 6 hours ago. I feel better now.
Family has returned to GA safely. AZ family has finally made it to Orlando after a not so great experience in Atlanta last night but it ended a few hours later with some sleep and some food and a noon flight to start what will be a dream vacation they have looked forward to all year. I think I will feed Dex a little early and take a nap. Several exciting but tiring days have just passed in my life. NEED SLEEP :-)
Hi Shirley
have enjoyed all the Flash Tales ☺
The black bear sighting in our county yesterday, was way in the South end of the county near a little community by the name of Ridgeway
The call was turned over to DNR - have not heard any updates on anything else besides the sighting
Great to hear that some of our Momsters were joined together at Market with Megan...
And Welcome Back Glo
have been wondering about your Family Week...hope all turns out okay for the Orlando Travelers
Hi Dex ♥
One Osprey at BWO just took flight
Hope our Steve is doing okay...
maybe he has special plans for the Memorial Day Week-end...
Lynn
Happy 12th year Wedding Anniversary wishes for
Christie and Shannon...
and for many many more to follow...
♥♥
going to check some of these pictures links posted here today
nice pictures Paula, both yours and of Norfolk, thanks
Osprey at BWO seems a little twitchy, best hatching wishes to that family
watching the loon, hear what sounds like a powerboat :(
and some eerie sounding wind sounds
best wishes for a successful hatch there too
now I hear people sounds at Loon cam also
Palmer seems to be enjoying life at the top of the nest
time to leave for work soon
only six hours I hope...
Happy rest of the day to all,
prayers for our special needs
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ♥
Hello again. Poorer in the check book but richer in the fridge/freezer and cupboards!
Got a rotisserie chicken from the deli so had that and left-over pasta salad for my dinner.
Judie, I haven't been to Lowe's yet to check to see if they have the pheramone traps for the stink bugs. If they are open tomorrow, I'll check after the gg's Pizza Hut b-day party.
Shirley, one of my SharPei liked to lay on my feet, too. She also liked to lick toes...so much so that my nickname for her was Tu-sie Tongue. ( Her name was Tu.)
Glad to hear that Megan had a good day at market.
Even tho' the 30th WAS Memorial Day, since 1971 it has been the last MON. of the month----so guess we can celebrate it for 2 days!
Two more CA nest eaglets were banded yesterday. No cams, so it was a non-event for us. Rattlesnake and Pinnacle Rock----very rough climb to both. Pics will be up later in the week.
Hornby---wide-angle cam is down (water in the connections?), and close-up is smeared with Phoenix PS!
BTW, Judie---Darth sure doesn't look like he's in his 70's!!! Is his job full-time??
Relieved to hear that Glo's families are all where they want/need to be!
Hope is doing even better this afternoon.......Sue will post more this evening.
I had put my feet up a little after 2:00 and wow! I came back! Great nap and then hot dogs and beans for dinner.
Palmer has been busy in her nest
Phoenix has some chilly weather at his nest... Adult huddled up to him
I am going to get evening cup of coffee.. Not really alert yet from that nap!
Parent brought in something that looked a little stiff - maybe roadkill? - Palmer did some mantling and let it be known this was meal for one, so parent waited only for a few moments before flying off. NOw Palmer digging in...
Maybe it's a turtle - I think we've seen one in the nest before...
Parent came back - Palmer's getting feisty - saying "stay away, it's mine"
Picked it up in her mouth for a second - constantly vocalizing - then dropped it down, staring at parent, but standing over it
Parent froze
Palmer has a lot to say this evening.
Palmer backed away from the food, then parent approached it, then parent went toward it and Palmer ran over - parent started tearing it up and feeding it because Palmer hadn't done a very good job of getting through the skin of whatever it was, and Palmer still squealing but gobbling it up and grabbing it hungrily in the big bites being fed to her
Palmer had managed to get some strings of food out of it (whatver it is) but only little bits, and just apparently didn't have the skill yet to get it apart to really devour it. Needed help, but was reluctant to give up possession.
Nipping at parent's wing!
I think maybe there's no food left but parent's not ready to move because the aggression level was so high - parent froze again
stronghunter, is this new to you too?
Adult is with Palmer
I've never seen this kind of behavior from Palmer before - wonder if anyone else who might be on now has
Hopefully this skill she has yet to perfect will keep Palmer in the nest until the 12th when we go for the visit.
I was checking the nest at Decorah (3) and Ft StVrain (2) They look about ready for fledging.
I don't think I have seen Palmer act this way before, but Hidey was very vocal and aggressive.
Perhaps adult is waiting with Palmer for another food drop to happen.
Will has invited guests for tomorrow evening, so he has been cleaning and tidying the house. I am enjoying it.
We ordered supper from the Thai restaurant nearby. It was good.
I am glad he invited them over, Shirley - You are going to get a tidy house!
Sometimes Hidey managed to chase his parents out of the nest.
I can do some cleaning tomorrow, but I am trying to finish grading as many papers as possible today. I have to get this job behind me. I still have to write an essay about an educational article. Shouldn't be too hard, but it is preying on my mind.
In a way, it's a good thing, because she'll need that "get away it's mine" attitude when she's out in the wild. But fortunately her parents don't take that from her, and know when she still needs to have her food cut up for her!
Now I can see her working on something - turtle shell?
Cool, Palmer is getting dinner!
Adult right under the cam
Adult just poofed!
Palmer sounds like she's whimpering
that is some kind of whine! almost barking.
I think that's the empty turtle shell she was working on
It IS almost like a dog!
Is that pathetic, or what?
Maybe Palmer is handling the food better now. Poor Palmer has the problem of needing parent, but not wanting to accept help. Typical adolescent.
KB, I saw Palmer very possesive of food yesterday morning. Palmer is chowing down now, sounds like a fish :)
Sitting out on the deck, having a margarita and getting ready to grill some shrimp on the bbq...plus fresh corn...YUM
Margy, have seen Dad osprey at that corner a lot this weekend...hope hatching is near
Had to step away - back now - wonder if it could have been a crab? I thought I saw some legs, and some stringy stuff being pulled, but it wasn't until parent did some major ripping apart (maybe the body?) that the real big pieces started to be fed. And lots of crunching involved...
So the possessive behavior isn't entirely new - she's growing up, isn't she?
Yes she is KB....and amazingly fish are crunchy! All those bones, ya know :)
Parent just dropped back in, finishing nestovers....Palmer rushes parent and chattering and peeping away...adult has the food!
Here we go again...
Palmer really making a fuss! Almost honking!
More wing nipping
A feather flew - see it on the left?
I missed it! Was tending to the grill
Parent is gone and Palmer at the 12
All quiet on the western front - got to go - will see what the saga brings tomorrow!
Will just swept the kitchen. He is now mopping.
He also found my hummingbird feeder and filled it and put it in the window.
Earlier, he mowed and trimmed the grass and filled all of the bird feeders.
I asked him to check the vacuum to see if the belt is broken. I think he broke it cleaning his room awhile back. If he will get a new belt, I can take care of the vacuuming tomorrow. I am on a roll with the papers tonight.
The works of Boris are coming to view.
Geese!
Was that a sneeze?
I didn't have my sound up very high.
Bless her anyhow!
Out of maybe 400 channels - I can't find anything interesting for TV this evening. May need to listen to the Memorial Day Concert..........
How long is Flash your guest, Shirley?
I looked at Paula's backyard pics - This year I have sooooo many visiting crows...big ones! They are noisy at times and they usually come for the peanuts along with the squirrels and some other birds.
With the heat of today I am going to go to the shower....

Flash will be with me until tomorrow, Jo. I am not sure when they will pick him up--just whenever.
Flash is still lying at my feet. I expect that he is enjoying being an "only dog" for awhile, even though I am sure he is missing his family and all of the excitement that goes on at his house. It is much quieter here.
Jo, do you have that sticky feeling?? Awful, huh?
I think that was a sneeze earlier, Shirley. Heard it, too! Missed all the action over the food. Shut it off because of Boris.
Will is really getting on your good side, gal!! You've raised him right!!!
I had a panda nap---it was nice!
Watched the Memorial Day Concert on the Capitol grounds. Good, as always.I always cry.
Judie, do you run across students who say they cannot read cursive writing? I truly hope you do not, but I do. Some are not native speakers, but many have come up in our elementary schools. I guess cursive writing is not on the SOLs, but it is a problem.
I do remember that I had one very good student who said that she grew up in Jordan and did not learn cursive writing. She asked me to give her a copy of the cursive alphabet. Most just expect me to print for them.
Well, tell us, Shirley, did the student learn to write cursive and did she do it well?
Evening Everyone. Was searching for Palmer (10 o'clock?)& saw teeny tiny Spidey running around, then for a good scare it got Huge running across the cam! That's enough excitement for tonight!
Been out messing in the yard, went to Home Depot, Lowe's for soil, etc. & looked for a beautiful batchelor button saw at HD last week. Of course, they were gone.Got BBQ rotisserie chicken & ribs at grocery, so we're set for a few days!
Watching a movie on FX
Nest Update Blackwater Osprey
05/30/10:
Possible Chick Alert!
We believe a chick might be in the process of hatching. We're waiting for a clear shot of it.
Commercial on
Will Smith Movie
BBL
While I was out on deck potting a plant, heard little wings whirring! Realized I was almost under the hummingbird feeder! Hummer boy has been coming by, too. We have it up higher this year and closer to kitchen window, so if I'm lucky might get some pics.
We saw Ms. Calico, stray cat, this evening and watched her from a distance go from place to place in several yards.She never stayed in one area long, so don't know where those kittens are stashed.Hope we can find them before they're too old to be good pets!
Have got to shampoo hair & make some phone calls~~~~
I was just reading on Facebook about Paula's D-I-L, AJ, and her weight loss journey. Wow, does she look pretty!
She said she only gained 8 lbs. during her pregnancy!
YOU GO GIRL!
Sorry, I disappeared for awhile! Had to eat dinner while it was hot, corn was great! Then laundry, etc.
Wanda, I wish I knew. She was a senior. She graduated. I suppose she went on to college.
LORETTA, glad you and Frank are coming for the Nest Visit...haven't seen you in a while:)
Wanda, she is doing really good. Really motivated to lose the weight, eat right and exercise. I didn't realize how heavy she had gotten...I think she's looking good!
Steve is back and we have a.........................................NEW THREAD!!!!!!
Paula, did you have the shrimp wrapped in bacon? Haven't had fresh corn yet this season...love it on the grill!
I didn't think cursive was that hard to read...but we've been reading it most of our lives.
John and his FIL are going crabbing tomorrow...will be a nice crab feed tomorrow when they get back...will head up after work.
You all are gonna laugh...finally took the flannel sheets off my bed tonight!
Heading over to the new thread!!!
