$900 is very good for a first day yard sale!

stronghunter said...

I believe Palmer is still in the nest tonight, though it is hard to see. She has been in the nest most of the day, though she has left and come back if I remember correctly.

We have been watching a loon cam in Alaska. There is one baby there. There is concern about the other one.

Has been some kind of issue at the bear cam Facebook page.

Costume Lady said...

They ARE VERY HARD WORK! Been there and don't that many times. It is a wonderful way to get rid of unwanteds and gain some extra space, not to mention EXTRA MONEY!

Lolly said...

Yes, they came in droves! Laurel had all her baby equipment and all the childrens clothes. And, I must say my grandsons have always been the best dressed. A lot of compliments on the cuteness and the care taken of the clothes

Mema Jo said...

Mom - Dad and 1 little Loon on cam a minute ago.
Dad swam off Mom is taking a nap

Lolly said...

Yes, we are both excited about the extra space!!! I gave her our treadmill to sell. It sold! Now one of my spare bedrooms has more space

Lolly said...

Jo, where do I find this new loon cam? Please, pretty please!

Mema Jo said...

Little Loony is under right wing of mom

Did not see 2 little ones

Mema Jo said...

Wanda - How was the family night?

Mema Jo said...


Link to Loon Cam in AK


Bring the Pop up cam if regular one doesn't open..........

Mema Jo said...

NO FEAR

Jumped right in! Something must have happened to the 2nd little chick. I
think we're lucky to have one and I don't think we'll know whatever happened to the other.

hedgie said...

Two good shows tonight!
I can't get that new loon cam to open, but did see the video----that mama has a white head! Wonder if they are all like that in Alaska?
Judie, good luck with your proposal....can't imagine they would turn you down if they appreciate your intelligence and the fact that you are the most favored prof of the athletes!
Lolly, Palmer apparently ate early this AM and took off...in and out a couple of times today!! She's learning!
Gotta look at Lowreeda's pics!

paula eagleholic said...

That's a great yard sale, Lolly.

Palmer has been in and out numerous times today, she is spending the night again. Had plenty to eat!

hedgie said...

Lynne----have fun on your trip! Hope your knee feels better. So glad the YR's didn't get you. I had a wasp chase me today....luckily he veered off and I got in the door!

paula eagleholic said...

Night, all. Hitting the hay early, LOL

See you in the morning!

Hugs to all♥

Lolly said...

Thanks, JO! I saw the little looney! Now I am heading to bed!

Lolly said...

Thanks Paula! Sounds like Palmer is finally getting the hang of it.

Nite all!

Sweet dreams!

Mema Jo said...

I'm gong to call it a day - beautiful weather that I hope continues a couple more days.

Headed back the hallway

Good Night All
Prayers for All
Hugs for All ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

hedgie said...

I'm right behind you, Jo!
Hope everyone sleeps well. Will see you in the AM at some point. Will have to hustle to get ready for company.
Prayers for all.

stronghunter said...

Good night from here, too. I will see you tomorrow.

Lynne2 said...

Well, stuff ready to load in car....cleaned just about everything but didn't get to mop the kitchen floor. I forgot how much STUFF has to go camping with us!

Cannot find the my Luggable Loo seat. UGH.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and prayers for all! see you Monday eve or Tues!

(Puddles is trying to get into EVERYTHING. Not much help!)

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Everyone!

Good night, Mema Jo! Sleep well!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LYNN'S MOTHER!

Have been VERY busy today--went to Wal-Mart and did a lot of the shopping Hubby & I usually do on Saturday morning. We are going to meet my Sis-in-law for breakfast tomorrow, and needed to get some of the usual shopping done ahead of time.

Saw a Black-crowned Night Heron fledgling out back today. Thanking God that our ornery neighbor seems to be out of town, along with the rest of his family.
The fledgling can fly very well, so am not worried about it. Last I saw of it, it was headed back to its nest.

Good to see Palmer again. That big girl sure is talkative!

Getting pretty tired, so think I'll call it a night. Early start tomorrow! Prayers being said for everyone. The night light is on for lateniks, and the porch light is automatic. Sweet eagle, loonie, and bear cub dreams, everyone. Sleep well, Palmer, Belle, and Lib. Will talk to you guys some time tomorrow. God bless, and goodnight! Love you guys! :o]

Costume Lady said...

I'm really running late tonight, so I will tell you that I have some photos on Just for Fun and a cute little video of Jayden on WILD AND WONDERFUL.

PRAYERS FOR ALL
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

GOOD EARLY MORNING

OF A SATURDAY TO YOU

EVERYONE.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


It's just getting light; Palmer's up, calling for food or attention; practicing flight around the nest; is standing at about 2:30 o'clock; looking all around for his parents.

Now she flew to the launch pad and nearly went over head first; looks like she may be about to go look for the pater and mater on her own.


[:~D]

Jim

movin said...


She's lying down again, facing the l. pad, blowing zzzzzzzzzzz's.


[:~D]

Jim

movin said...

Her head is up again, looking around.

Boy, she sure has a lot more white in her pattern than many eaglets.


[:~D]

Jim

movin said...

She's lying there quietly now, looking around.

I'm going to get some shut eye myself......

Later, friends.


[:~D]

Jim

BEagle said...

Palmer just now flew off the nest.
I was reading posts and heard it more than saw her take off.

BEagle said...

Was noticing the array of white feathers on Palmer's back. The other eaglets we frequent don't seem to have that much white any more.

BEagle said...

Gosh. That was a good yard sale Lolly.

Sounds like someone could teach a class on "How To Have a Successful Yard Sale!"

BEagle said...

Also noticing the posts about the newly discovered loon cam.

I watched and watched....all I saw was either an empty nest or the mom on the nest.

It was fun reading the activity at the nest.

Adult BELLE? just few in.

BEagle said...

She brought a fishie with her.

BEagle said...

Eating nice big bite size pieces.

BEagle said...

Belle keeps looking off to the side of the cam tree.

I knew it! Palmer just flew in and claiming the rest of that fish.

BEagle said...

Belle flew off. So Palmer is quietly eating what's left of that fish.

BEagle said...

Palmer is taking smaller bite size pieces of the fish.

BEagle said...

Take that back. She just swallowed a big hunk of fish.

BEagle said...

Palmer's entrance was relatively quiet this morning. A little screaming as she entered was all.

BEagle said...

Palmer picked up the rest of the fish, not much of it now, and moved it over to the 9.

BEagle said...

Palmer is still eating.

BEagle said...

Palmer cleaned up her plate on that one. Looked around for any crumbs.

Now she's looking out from the launch position.

BEagle said...

Beak clean.

BEagle said...

Adult back on nest and now Palmer is whining.

BEagle said...

Adult flew back off again.
There's no food left so it must be territorial fussing.

BEagle said...

Unless she was guarding those turtle shells. : )

BEagle said...

Now that Palmer moved, I see the adult brought in another fish!

I missed that previously.

Now Palmer has moved off and starting to dig into the second fish.

A growing child.

BEagle said...

This is a wushi.

BEagle said...

I trust you enjoyed the early breakfast postings.

bye bye for now.

BEagle said...

Forgot to say, have a good morning and a beautiful day.

stronghunter said...

Good morning, BEagle.

stronghunter said...

Getting ready for my morning coffee. I am watching the loon sleeping in her nest. It is light there, though not very. I guess it is light most of the time in Alaska now. We are at the time of the midnight sun.

stronghunter said...

Very peaceful and still at the loon cam.

stronghunter said...

Looking for that little head to poke out.

stronghunter said...

Palmer is munching on something at the nest.

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Golly its been a stormy time since i last checked in. But the sun is shining. Humidity has broken an doh what a beautiful morning. And there's our sweet Palmer. I htikn she is quite fascinated with turtle shells :-)

paula eagleholic said...

Good Morning!

Wow, Palmer is still in the nest, don't know if she's been in and out, but I think I just caught her finishing breakfast and cleaning her beak.
Standing under the cam at present.

Judie said...

Jo, thank you for the loon video. Really adorable.

Lolly, so glad the sale went so well the first day. Hope the second day goes well, also.

Hi Loweeda! Need to check your pictures. What type of bird is nesting outside your window? I forget.

Can't get the live cam this morning, so far. Grrrrr

Lynne, enjoy the camping trip!

Hi Jim, thanks for the play-by-play this morning as I can't see anything.

Andy, how's school? Still our star student?

Good morning, Shirley and BEagle.

Going to try to live cam again, get coffee, then newspaper. BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks for commentary BEagle...I see it was two breakfasts for Palmer!

stronghunter said...

Judie, I am having better luck getting the nest cam at Internet Explorer right now. But that is not always the case. Right now, I am using Firefox for the blog and Internet Explorer for the nest cam. That may change at any time, though.

Judie said...

I am soooooo excited. Finally got the nest and there is Palmer surveying her kingdom. My day will be a happy one.

Good morning, Paula and Glo.

stronghunter said...

I think someone said Palmer had left the nest and returned earlier this morning.

stronghunter said...

Yay, Judie. Now you can watch Palmer.

stronghunter said...

Baby loon just popped out from under mom's wing for a moment.

stronghunter said...

Daddy loon feeding the little one.

paula eagleholic said...

Another fish delivery!

Boy, Palmer has it made in the shade!

paula eagleholic said...

Ha, and here comes Belle!

Whole family in the nest!

stronghunter said...

There is the whole family! With the screaming child.

hedgie said...

Breakfast is served......snatched out of Belle's talons before she even landed!! LOL!!! What a baby!

Good morning!

paula eagleholic said...

Lib took off

paula eagleholic said...

Belle and Palmer are both eating

paula eagleholic said...

Don't know if ya'll have gotten to your emails yet, but Isla at Loch of Lowes is not in good shape.

paula eagleholic said...

Palmer just dragged her fish to the back of the nest, that was funny

stronghunter said...

Put some hummingbird posts on the e-mail and one on my blog. A friend sent them to me. I don't know the woman in the picture.

Lord, that eagle child is vocal.

paula eagleholic said...

Palmer has eaten some of her fish and now rushes Mom for hers, which is about gone. So Mom goes to the back to get the other one, and Palmer rushes back and snatches it! Too funny!

stronghunter said...

George is lying on the table looking out the window at something there. He is making little comments. I expect a squirrel is at the feeder.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Saturday Morning in Eagle Land to ALL.

Jim thans for your comments.

BEagle thank you for this mornings comments. She left and came back, left and came back again. I think I have that right.

Belle brings fish in, Libety flyns in (maybe with a delivery) then flys out.

Palmer and Belle eating. Pallmer eats and screams. Now Palmer wants what Belle has because she is finished hers.

Belle takes her fish to back of nest but leaves it there I think for Palmer. Again she eats and whines. Palmer is using her talons to hold the fish and pretty good at pulling it apart.

paula eagleholic said...

Geesh, I think that's Lib in the nest and not Belle

wvgal_dana said...

Listen to those sounds that Palmer makes when not screaming.

Belle eats on must be pretty hungry.

Palmer at 12 o'clock finished food. For now not bothering Belle for hers. Wonder how long that will last?

wvgal_dana said...

Lynn2 have a nice trip.

Going to email to see about Isla.

paula eagleholic said...

Palmer just rushed Lib for some food, she snagged the last little chunk

wvgal_dana said...

Well that didn't last long. Palmer is over wanting the food Belle has. Palmer grabs a piece for herself.

paula eagleholic said...

Lib went to the back, and Palmer rushed him and started nipping at his wings and talons, so he took off!

hedgie said...

OMG, Palmer just pushed parent out of nest!!!!

glo said...

hmmm Palmer seems to have staked a homested :-)

grannyblt said...

Looks like Palmer has settled for a nap after pushing parent out of nest

stronghunter said...

I posted a few more pictures on my blog.

Someone had asked about my students' creative projects, so I put up a couple of bulletin board pictures, and added a few backyard wildlife shots.

grannyblt said...

So glad I managed to check the web cam at a good time this morning

glo said...

From Palmer Food deliveries needed BUT beware NO LOITERING

She has only child syndrome!

grannyblt said...

Oh, and good morning everyone :))

grannyblt said...

Palmer is good at those eagle whines.

kickngbird said...

I missed all the excitement.

Judie, have you tried Google Chrome? I watch the nest on that one, have had very good luck.

grannyblt said...

off to check other cams..I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday

wvgal_dana said...

Prayers for our sweet Chrissy from across the pond.

May God be with one of HIS creatures the Lady Osprey Isla and her chicks.

paula eagleholic said...

Just heard a woodpecker.

Mits said...

good SATURDAY morning everyone, have a good one.

stronghunter said...

So sad about the osprey at the Loch.

stronghunter said...

Time to do some tidying up around here. BBL.

wvgal_dana said...

I pray they will reconsider if she passes on and Y7 dosn't feed the chicks. As a tribute to such a Grand Lady Isla to recuse her last hatching of chicks and raise them and then let them free when old enough in ISLA'S HONOR.

kickngbird said...

As Jim & BEagle pointed out, the amount of white feathers on Palmer is more than some eaglets, but isn't that variability one of the many things that makes juvenile bald eagles so fascinating?

Glo and I get to see a bunch of juvies all at one time in Illinois in the winter - they come to our rivers when lakes up north freeze - comparing them is fun.

And then just think how different Palmer's feathers will look in 5 years!

wvgal_dana said...

Y7 is there with Isla now trying to figure out what is wrong. They have been beak to beak at times. Hope she can tell him to bring a fish and feed it to her.

wvgal_dana said...

Y7 flys off and Isla spreads her wings out to hold herself up. Looking at him as he left. Hopefully he has gone for a fish. This is some GRAND LADY I tell you.

wvgal_dana said...

If what is happening to Isla is because of old age. Which is what Peter of the team feels it is. I am glad it is at home at Loch of Lowes.
Peter feels Y7 will continue to feed the chicks. They aren't that far away from feeding themselves. He said as far a a predator when Dad Y7 is away fishing there really isn't any to harm the chicks.

paula eagleholic said...

Poor Isla...breaks my heart

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning! You all are the sunshine of my life! Palmer is living the life of leisure - what's with that?
Great comments on here - Thanks to all of you I know what went on with Palmer during the am hours.

Mema Jo said...

More drama for us to witness with
Isla...breaks my heart also.

Mema Jo said...

Need to get ready - headed up the road.

BBILW

wvgal_dana said...

They have moved the camera in to Isla's face. It looks like she is still alive. Her head is moving around some eyes are open. The GRAND LADY ISLA is still breathing.
They move camera back out.

paula eagleholic said...

Palmer up and stretching...poop shoot..some flapping around the nest

paula eagleholic said...

Love the way she flips her tail

wvgal_dana said...

They just moved camera back in to Isla's face and she raised her head to them. Then laid it back down but is still breathing.

In an email talking with Chrissy. She said Y7 has fed the chicks today but not LADY ISLA. Maybe she has told him not to waste the food on her. Just to take care of their chicks and see they fledge in HONOR OF ME (ISLA). I'm just too old now and glad to be home here if this is my time.

paula eagleholic said...

I thought maybe her legs were stuck in the nest, like someone else had mentioned, then I saw her moving them, and she has changed position, facing the camera, so I guess that is not the case. So sad.

paula eagleholic said...

Dana, that info is on their blog as well.

paula eagleholic said...

I think Palmer is looking for some shade...sunny on the nest right now...at the 2 with wings spread.

paula eagleholic said...

Found 2 small zucchini in the garden!

paula eagleholic said...

Not ready to pick yet...but they will be soon!

wvgal_dana said...

Palmer is standing at the launch pad looking out.

paula eagleholic said...

PH chicks looking really good this morning, one on each side of the nest, preening. Don't see very many white feathers on them, they are very dark in color.

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Paula that is where I am on the Blog (well one of the places I'm here watching Palmer too).

paula eagleholic said...

Palmer plotzed, facing noon

paula eagleholic said...

Y7 is back, chicks are peeping

Palmer can't get comfy, was in the middle, now at the 10 spot

paula eagleholic said...

He has a long skinny fish, hope he feeds the chicks again

Isla tried to get up but couldn't

paula eagleholic said...

fish is still wiggling!

paula eagleholic said...

He is slowly feeding chicks....looking around a lot

wvgal_dana said...

Y7 just showed up with a fish. Lady Isla tried to get up but couldn't.
Chick went over to Dad and tried to bite the fish. Is was still alive. Dad (Y7) is now feeding the chicks!!! ( :

paula eagleholic said...

Hearing a dove call our nest

paula eagleholic said...

I'm not sure if Isla is still breathing or not.

paula eagleholic said...

Isla just moved her head...one of the chicks is on her lower back while eating.

Palmer puppy dog whining.

paula eagleholic said...

This is all instinct...feed the chicks....

And from the chicks...I need food to survive.

paula eagleholic said...

Been out watering and feeding plants...see Palmer at noon facing out...she's a real homebody!

paula eagleholic said...

Palmer up and fussing at the 2

paula eagleholic said...

CT osprey cam still cloudy, can't see a thing. They are now thinking it's not poop, which would mean a camera problem. All 4 chicks are looking good, they have some pics posted on the site.

movin said...

Adult and chick at BWE.

Glad to see Palmer is still on the nest.

Good Morning again.....


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding at LOL over, chicks were snugged up next to Mom, who is now facing 4-5ish...chicks now up and moving about....now one is snugged up against her again...Mom's head is up....looking about..still too weak to move much

paula eagleholic said...

Lib just arrived with lunch, Palmer has snagged it right away

paula eagleholic said...

Nope, Dad, don't think she's gonna share! Lib departs.

paula eagleholic said...

Time to eat the fishy, she is in perfect view, hope she stays there

wvgal_dana said...

Boy Paula look at that turtle shell right in front of her. Mema Jo's shell!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Heading out
bbl

movin said...

Hahaha. It's probably going to be a "hi, good-bye" thing this morning.

Went down last evening to go shopping, and apparently I've been spending too much time on here and not enough driving my hot rod ...the battery was dead.

It's a fairly new Die Hard, so I think I just let it go too long...

Have to take care of that and some errands this morning.

Have a great day and a great weekend, everybody.

kickngbird said...

I was checking in on Decorah & Hornby nests; Decorah triplets about a week away from being ready to fly, Phoenix at Hornby (so little gray fuzz left!) just stood up and a parent was heard off in the distance calling (love that sound).

Came back here to see our Palmer chowing down - thanks for report about delivery and quick parental departure, Paula. Not surprised she's not keen on sharing!

stronghunter said...

NEW THREAD, EVERYBODY!!!

kickngbird said...

Good view of pretty feathers on her back.

We go eagle watching around here in the winter when the lakes freeze north of the cheddar curtain (Wisconsin) and our rivers are good fishing spots for eagles - I've joked with my husband that if we found an eagle feather on the ground we might not get arrested if he picked it up because he's half Native American, & Native peoples are allowed to have eagle feathers.
