Lib in with a fish, I presume...Palmer snagged it right away! Lib is gone!

stronghunter said...

Did Palmer just chase parent out of the nest?

stronghunter said...

Lots of noise from Palmer.

Lynne2 said...

yes she did, that little brat. At least this time she didn't BITE

Lolly said...

Going to sit here and clean some drawers while watching the cam. Hard to pull away at this time, but I do have some things I have to do! LOL

carolinabeachmom said...

Hey Lynn2, did you get to the nest this time?

carolinabeachmom said...

Lolly, thands for the heads up on Glo's Glimpse It was great and of course I teared up when I heard the morse code for Deb on the car horns. I couldn't get the cam up yesterday. I also heard everyone yelling. It was cool!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Good Sunday Morning

tO you aLL.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Yes, its still morning in So Cal. Hahaha.

I haven't read all the stuff relating to Parker fledging this A.M., but when I opened the site, she was flaked out with her wings slightly spread as though resting them ... like other fledglings do when they come back to the nest.

On the other hand she wasn't gone very long compared to others....

stronghunter said...

I enjoyed Glo's video too!

stronghunter said...

Error 503

Blogger cop again. This time I got both messages. Finally logged off and back on.

stronghunter said...

They are talking about Thurgood on CNN now.

movin said...

Another extended wing exercise session. Should be ready any time if she hasn't fledged already.

You know what??? If Liberty brought her some fresh fish immediately after she returned, she fledged. If he didn't, she was probably branching.

Did anyone see??


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Jim, we think PALMER branched, and that was all, she was back in 25 minutes

Lynne2 said...

I did, Candy! So much fun!

stronghunter said...

My spell check keeps saying that fledge isn't a proper word, so I looked it up. According to Merriam Webster, it is a perfectly good verb.

carolinabeachmom said...

Palmer looks like he is just waiting to go anytime.

stronghunter said...

Blogger hedgie said...

OMG----Palmer is GONE! She's fledged!!!!! A day too late for us, but: You go, girl!!!

Did anyone see her go???

Sure seems lonely to see an empty nest.......:(

got a lot of comments to read but think I'm just daydreaming now

Enjoy your Freedom, Palmer
Nice going !

And congratulations to Belle & Liberty for yet another successful fledge ♥♥

Blogger sunny said...

Do my eyes deceive me? Am I seeing an empty nest? I was just thinking, as I logged in, that it should be about another week! My how our little ones gorw up quilckly.

Sunday, June 13, 2010 8:05:00 AM
Blogger magpie said...

Palmer's parents might be the only ones that witnessed the fledge, Lynn
I sure didn't see it

I SAW HER GO!!!!!

Blogger hedgie said...

Hi, Ceil and Margy....sure hope that Steve or someone rewinds and gets video of the fledge. Know that it was sometime between 5:53 and 7:48.......I'll try sending him an email, but it will likely be ignored, so Margy you can do it!

Blogger magpie said...

Hi Sunny ☼
I think you see an empty nest

Sunday, June 13, 2010 8:06:00 AM
Blogger sunny said...

What time did she leave? What it from the regular 'launch pad"?

Sunday, June 13, 2010 8:07:00 AM
FuzzleMA said...

I'm having a BIG problem getting on the blog! She went straight up at 7:46. She was flapping, but not with he usual gusto and she just went up - I'll bet she's as surprised as I was!! There was no shadow over the nest.

Sunday, June 13, 2010 8:09:00 AM
Blogger magpie said...

Okay FuzzleMa!

What time? Yay for you ☺

Sunday, June 13, 2010 8:10:00 AM
Blogger hedgie said...

And she's back, along with Belle!!!

Sunday, June 13, 2010 8:10:00 AM

stronghunter said...

I posted the comments from the time of the fledge or branching, whatever it was. I had one heck of a time getting back to that page, kept getting error messages, so when I finally got there, I copied the messages just in case others had the same problem getting there.

glo said...

All I know is she is sitting on the launch pad now and has been for 20 or 30 minutes. Surely taking her time about whether or not to fly off of there.

Lynne2 said...

LOL Shirley, my spell check doesn't think fledge is a work either!!

Steve on the phone with his mom. Wendy, his sister, is back in hospital. Doesn't have Devic's. Just boggled my mind trying to read up on Transverse Myelitis. HELP LYNN! Don't have all details yet, will have to wait til Steve is done. THen I'll have to call her back later myself because as wonderful as he is, he is just a man....and men don't do DETAILS very well!

Lynne2 said...

Transverse Myelitis is just a symptom from what I can gather...inflammation of the spinal cord on both side. Must be caused by something else going on in her body.

Lynne2 said...

ah Jim, PARKER??? LOL!!! You have pulled a LYNNE, I called her Hidey the other day, and called Sissy "SILLY"!

stronghunter said...

BBL

BEagle said...

Fledged doesn't get a spell check and fledgling doesn't get a spell check.

But fledge does. Somebody goofed somewhere.

paula eagleholic said...

Lib brought another fish, Palmer grabbed it from him and he took off!

glo said...

Food drop well not exactly just kind of ripped out of the talons of the adult as he/she approached the nest. Palmer eating now no longer on launch pad.

glo said...

Info from observers from Maine forum who never sleeps and this is what one viewer there saw.

Hi everyone,
I was watching Palmer on the nest this morning with Mom, sharing breakfast. She left and he was jumping all over the nest. Doing a lot of wingersizing. Now he is gone.....Did anyone see him go, or is he hiding somewhere that I can't see him....I sort of had a feeling today was the day.

Hope we see him come back.......

Sorry everyone...Mom just came in and he jumping down off the tree......

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, she had dragged that fish all over the nest...now going to eat it right on the left edge

paula eagleholic said...

Hi Palmer!

glo said...

Bye Palmer catch ya later I guess

movin said...

Hahaha. I did call our young eagle "Parker", didn't I.

Sorry, don't know what I might have been thinking of.

Well, I guess the consensus is that Palmer was branching this morning.

However, if she has the "grab the food, mantle and squall at the bringer of food" behavior practiced enough, she is ready to fly the scene.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

kickngbird said...

Palmer waited til she saw a large representative group Momsters and Dadsters visit yesterday, who collectively gave her their blessing and let her know her how much she meant to them, and today she had the confidence to try out her wings.

:)

paula eagleholic said...

Parent back again!

paula eagleholic said...

Palmer hollering away, not sure if food arrived or not...chased parent off the nest, LOL

BEagle said...

Lib came in empty handed. I don't see anything.

BEagle said...

All right Palmer...no fish. Get the hint?

carolinabeachmom said...

Well if Palmer doesn't get off the edge of that nest, he/she is soon going to fall off and have to fly. LOL

BEagle said...

Did anyone notice Palmer sneezing?

carolinabeachmom said...

Yes, I thought that was what Palmer was doing.

carolinabeachmom said...

This is no time to catch a cold right before the big fledge!

BEagle said...

She sneezed three times. Shaking her head with them.

BEagle said...

Really, she might need to rest for a day or two then she will fledge.

carolinabeachmom said...

I'd hate for Palmer to get a coughing spell in mid take off. :)

BEagle said...

That would be a riot!

BEagle said...

Of course, coughing could have a propelling affect, as most of us will probably know.

carolinabeachmom said...

You are so right there BE LOL

magpie said...

Hi Candy ♥
want to catch you before you "Fledge" from the Blog !

magpie said...

Maybe you can just bring Josh with you in October Candy, if he has the time...
we can smother him with Momster Love

magpie said...

guess with all the talk in the last few days about fledging, when I saw the empty nest, I sorta lost my bearings....
thought about branching, afterwards

maybe St. Anthony will help me find my wits

besides, I am still a Newbie compared to so many others here

Good Afternoon Eagle Pals

PammySue said...

Hello out there.

paula eagleholic said...

Lord o mighty, more screaming, scared the crap outta me. Adult flew in and is taking care of the fish that Palmer didn't finish...aw giving Palmer a couple of bites.

BEagle said...

Isn't that sweet? That's Belle and she maintains mantling of the food.

She's a good mom.

paula eagleholic said...

Hi Pam!

carolinabeachmom said...

Parent back and eating fish that was brought in before and feeding Palmer; jthe big baby

PammySue said...

Palmer is being fed right now.

paula eagleholic said...

Guess it's always better when someone else tears it up, LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Sunny and hot now!

Got all my plants trimmed outside and my Megan flowers planted!

Fish all gone!

paula eagleholic said...

Chatter chatter chatter

I think that's Liberty

paula eagleholic said...

Or was, he's gone.

BEagle said...

I think you are right Paula. White shoulders.

paula eagleholic said...

wingersize time!

paula eagleholic said...

Nice to see you here today, Pam! It was nice meeting you yesterday!

stronghunter said...

Getting some height now.

PammySue said...

Hi Paula!

I guess you see Palmer getting air above the nest.

Awesome!

stronghunter said...

Hello, Pam.

BEagle said...

She wants to go. GO GO Palmer!

PammySue said...

Hey Shirley!

stronghunter said...

Wish I could have been there to meet you yesterday.

paula eagleholic said...

that was pretty...

Lynne2 said...

woo hoo thought she was going that time!

BEagle said...

She got some liftShe almost went.

Oh shucks, I got so excited.....
I was yelling.

(there's no one here to hear.)

stronghunter said...

Panting.

glo said...

:-) Great heigth. Its not gonna be long now at all. If she branched high this am and this height this afternoon we might see or not see :-) Another Flag Day fledge.

BEagle said...

Lib is a very good coaxer.

Lynne2 said...

she's breathing hard!

Hi Pam, nice meeting you yesterday!

magpie said...

nice to see you here Pam
Welcome !
lovely avatar....I look forward to meeting you too, glad you could make the nest visit

Paula
like your new avatar ☺

sometimes Palmer looks like a giant airplane, like a C-5 in that nest

paula eagleholic said...

She's all tuckered out now, LOL

stronghunter said...

Panting so hard her whole body is moving.

PA Nana said...

Hi everyone. Recuperating from yesterday and watching that silly bird. Reading all the posts maybe I was right, she'd wait until today to fledge or branch. Too many distractions yesterday - she was watching us watching her.

Again, it was a pleasure to finally meet you.
.. later

Palmer is enjoying the wind beneath her/his wings. Thought he/she was going to follow the adult, put didn't. Did Palmer chicken out, get scared or those darn twigs harness her talons? Next time maybe.

bbl

PammySue said...

It was so cool meeting everyone who was able to come to the nest yesterday. :)

magpie said...

can't wait Paula...
the last link for some reason took me to backyard birds....which is great....
will check again after work tonight

Hope it is a great afternoon now for everyone..sure is hot...
hereabouts anyway

Baby Moon, might be out tonight at dusk...could be close to Venus...if not tonight, then Monday

movin said...

I meant to ask earlier:
does anyone else think the front part of the Norfolk nest has fallen off again??

They had a distance shot earlier, and not only did the nest look smaller, but there's a lot of material caught in a fork beneath the nest.

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Margy, wrong blog. Let's try this again.

Got the pictures from yesterday done...working on video from last week and yesterday now...

Both adults BWO.

stronghunter said...

Great pictures, Paula. Thanks.

stronghunter said...

Jim, it does look like part of the nest has fallen at Norfolk. I don't look at that nest as often as many of you all do, though.

magpie said...

Great Paula...didn't have to wait until after getting home from work, but I will look again then too !

time to head out, hope for only six hours tonight

xo

stronghunter said...

I hope you get your wish, Margy.

movin said...

I enjoyed your slide show, Paula.

movin said...

Forum at NBG is saying something about one of the eaglets, NE, going into the canal and having to be rescued. They tried to let it fly again, but it didn't, so they're keeping it overnight to give a vet a chance to look at it tomorrow.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

stronghunter said...

Saw that at Norfolk, Jim. I wasn't sure if they were talking about one of their own eaglets or another one. Sounds like the poor eaglet nearly drowned.

stronghunter said...

From the Norfolk nest:

A brief update on NE. About 9:50 this morning NE was noyiced floating in the canal near the nest site by a photographer. Another photographer, Duane Noblick, went in the canal after seeing that NE could not get up over the bulkhead and out of the waater. Duane was able to get to NE and put him up on the bank in front of the nest. When I got there NE was up under some bushes. I was able to get him without a struggle. I examined NE and found no injuries. He was soaked and exhausted. I called Lisa Barlow, a raptor rehabber who came out and also found no injuries of any kind. After letting NE rest and dry off we made an attempt to release hime about 2:50 just as one on the adults brought food to the nest. NE did not take flight, but ran up under the brush. After a second unsuccessful attempt, Lisa and I determined it best to hold NE over night and have a vet examine tomorrow. Lisa will feed tonight and will attempt a release tomorrow if green light given by vet.

thanks for the update, Shirley, poor thing

glo said...

Enjoyed the slide show Paula thank you

glo said...

Stopped by to see Wanda's You Tube presentation too. Feeling pretty well caught up with yesterdays happenings except for that toast that I guess Wanda wrote. Where is it? Is it being shared or was it something just for those at the toast. Either way Deb was remembered and celebrated at the right place and at a wonderful time.

paula eagleholic said...

Videos are done...they are also on the Eaglet Momsters Blog


NCTC visit June 6

A toast to Deb

paula eagleholic said...

Glo, I have the toast in the video.

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks for the news about eaglet at Norfolk. Glad they will examine NE.
So happy someone was close enough before it became fatal.

Palmer may really know from his parents more than us. Storm is going to hit again supposely. So fledging today would not be good. Tomorrow no storm warnings until 3pm.

Welcome to the Eagle Momster Blog Pam. Was so good meeting you yesterday. Love the butterfly.

glo said...

AHA Thanks Paula Off to see the video now.

PA Nana said...

Paula, great pics of yesterday. Sorry we couldn't stay for the toast and group picture, but Mike had another engagement and I was just thankful he could bring me down.

He used to drive truck and knows the roads and is a good driver. I even think I might be able to talk him into the October festivities. Jim should be able to attend also. All depends on their work schedules and Mike willing to give up his fishing. Something is in a t this time, I think he said Stipers?

In case you're wondering, Mike is a better driver than his father, but that's my opinion. shhhh ;o)

Time to get supper. Will be checking back for more pictures of yesterday. My camera can't get close ups, which is what was needed for the nest.

... later

hedgie said...

Hi all. Been back a little while. Caught up on everything now. Looks like storms passed us by...hope so as I just put ribs on the grill.
Pam, glad you dropped in! Nice meeting you and Craig yesterday.
Whart a shame about the NBG juvie. Thanks for alerting us, Jim, and SHirley for the full report. Hope he is okay and will be ready to fly tomorrow.
Glo, I'm sure Wanda will send you Gene's recipe and little tribute.

Candy, even if Josh isn't free to come with you, you and hubby can still come in Oct.! Sure do want to meet you.

wvgal_dana said...

Lynn1-Hedgie Did it say where in Martinsburg the year sale was that the bear showed up??

wvgal_dana said...

Well Flag Day is tomorrow so Palmer just might do a Spunky.

hedgie said...

Paula, your slideshow was good, too!
Still haven't downloaded my pics, but don't have any different views than you and Wanda/Gene.

wvgal_dana said...

Candy & Shirley the lady (gal) that moved in beside me. Is an assistant aid to Special Education kids at North Middle School (junior high). She loves her job. When it gets close to summer she can't wait for some time off. Then I'll hear her saying before summer is over, "I can't wait for school to start, I'm ready to go back".

wvgal_dana said...

Liberty flew in and whatever food he had Palmer has it.

paula eagleholic said...

Parent in and out, Palmer eating

stronghunter said...

Dana, the people who last very long at special ed are dedicated people. They were hard at work at graduation. Several of their kids graduated yesterday. They get special education diplomas.

wvgal_dana said...

WE HAVE A SCREAMING PALMER!!! LOOKING UP.

PammySue said...

What a racket!

stronghunter said...

Something suddenly got her attention. I wonder if the parents are enjoying a fish dinner up there.

wvgal_dana said...

Well maybe Liberty didn't leave any food and Palmer just found leftovers. Maybe that is why Palmer is screaming. Cause he/she see's parent on limb with food?????

paula eagleholic said...

Palmer looking up and making all sorts of noise...

Off to the deck with a margarita :)

hedgie said...

No, Dana, never heard where the yard sale was.

stronghunter said...

I have subbed some for special education teachers. It is hard work.

Lolly said...

Momma or Daddy must be close by. Palmer is looking up and whining!

Paula, loved your videos and the slide show. Hey, I even made it in! LOL

Paula, noticed yesterday and meant to say something....sure do like your hair do! Looks great!

wvgal_dana said...

Shirley I think we were thinking the same thing. lol

stronghunter said...

Maybe the bear was looking for some honey or something else good.

glo said...

I think there could be a banquet happening upstairs :-)

Mema Jo said...

Just back from Dance recital and an evening meal at Bob Evans.

So glad to see Palmer - wasn't too
sure I was expecting her to be in the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, Glo, is that the reason for the squealing :)

Lolly said...

She/he is certainly complaining about something!

Think I will go join Paula on the deck with a margarita. LOL She did invite us over, right?

paula eagleholic said...

Still screaming, eh? Too funny!

paula eagleholic said...

C'mon over!

Having Margarita shrimp, too!

stronghunter said...

Hey Palmer, the grownups have to eat, too.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, getting mad now....hmmm wonder if she is protecting her food?

glo said...

Awww well I'm having fish for supper. Maybe I should head to Shepherdstown Poor baby. She sounds pitiful

wvgal_dana said...

Jo and Paula you have mail

glo said...

Well she could actually have some food she is protecting and can't look up and yet look down and eat too. She has been learning to not turn her back on her food.

wvgal_dana said...

Well this is a first. I'm in the kitchen and Little Man (doggie) was asleep on couch. Palmer's screaming actually woke him us. Usually doesn't bother dog. Although this was some LOUD screaming! lol

wvgal_dana said...

Palmer is picking at something but I don't think Lib left anything. I think it is nest leftovers.???.???

wvgal_dana said...

God Bless you Palmer. I have said that days ago when she sneezed. So today isn't the first time Palmer has been sneezing.

hedgie said...

Yes, Paula...I really liked your hair, too!!

PammySue said...

Poop shoot!

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks for the comments, re: my hair :)

stronghunter said...

Maybe adults are trying to tempt Palmer to come upstairs and join them. Then again, maybe they are hoping she won't!!

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Paula I too thought your hair looked nice like that.

I wanted to say that Mema Jo's great grand boys where so mannerly yesterday.

For those that have seen Sharon's Justin before. Well he is planning on coming this year (finally) to Open House. I did not realize that was him. He has really shot up there and is 16 yrs. old now.

Then I do have to talk a little about Dustin. He too is16 yrs old. One would not believe that due to his height. Since we took the trip to Conowingo Dam he has shot up there a least a foot. You must ask Megan about her enjoyment with Dustin. I hope I am there when she gets him back (: (: lol

wvgal_dana said...

Mattie I really didn't leave you out. You are just one of us "Little Eagle Eye" (:

She was her normal HAPPY self to be at the eagles nest. Happy to be talking with Jo and others. That gal just fits right in like a glove that fits your hand just right. (:

stronghunter said...

Palmer looks like road kill right now. She has been a busy little eagle today. Plumb wore out.

stronghunter said...

Hunter really enjoyed being with Dustin at Conowingo, and we appreciated Dustin's patience with a kid so much younger than he is.

Lynne2 said...

I'm so glad Palmer is resting. What a racket she made earlier, and wow she was flapping and bouncing like crazy!

I'm going to take a nice cool shower and go relax in the air conditioned bedroom til Army Wives comes on. I have been sweating and a little light headed all day. Then I had my first A-Fib episode in some time and I am grateful that I was sitting at the time, because it was a bad one and I thought I was going to pass out. I am just NOT doing well in the heat this year.

OH! My pair of bluebirds have begun to lay another clutch!! Saw them in and out of the nest box several times over the last few days and this morning there was one little egg!

stronghunter said...

Please take care of yourself, Lynne. Enjoy the air conditioning.

hedgie said...

Mmmm...ribs were delicious! Feel a panda nap coming on.

hedgie said...

Yes, kids were all great yesterday. Hope they all enjoyed the day.
Seems to be getting a bit darker than usual for the time...maybe more rain clouds...had one little sprinkle right before I lit the grill, but nothing more. So far.

Lynne, please take it easy and stay in as much as you can.

hedgie said...

Wide cam at Hornby is down again...and the Energizer Bunny is back on the other one. Argh!

paula eagleholic said...

Lynne, please take care of yourself and don't overdo! Maybe Steve needs to put in an AC downstairs.

Mema Jo said...

I was over in face book catching up on family and friends.

Take care of yourself Lynne
Hope Little Man was okay all day yesterday without you, Dana.

Mema Jo said...

Wanda and Paula - thank you both for recording the memory making moments of the 2010 Nest Visit.

Lolly said...

My goodness! Another sneeze. Bless you, Palmer.

kickngbird said...

Palmer is my "main eaglet" but Phoenix at Hornby is a close second...

FYI, I've had excellent luck with Firefox. I didn't install Adblock Plus - maybe my husband did, or maybe it's one of those extension things that comes with it, but I'm sure you get it for free. I get zero ads at Hornby since we got Firefox with Adblock.

I actually watch Palmer on Google Chrome (great luck with that, too) and post to blog on Firefox, so I use both and like both. But for the ads on Hornby, I highly recommend Firefox with the Adblock Plus thingie.

paula eagleholic said...

Palmer up by the cam, bless you Palmer, now plotzed where we can see her :)

kickngbird said...

Sneezy Palmer

kickngbird said...

Walked up to 1 o'clock

Costume Lady said...

Miss Jo...it was my pleasure to make the video-slide shows. I love doing that. In the time that it takes to do that, I don't have a care in the world. Very therapeutic:)

I have sent a copy of the PALMER RECEIPE and the sentiment that went with it, to Deb's family members and one to GLO. If anyone else would like a copy, please let me know and I will be happy to send you one:)

Costume Lady said...

Thanks to Paula for capturing the "Toast to Deb" on video. A great keepsake for family and friends.
And yes...Paula's new hairdo is very cute on her:) She looks 10 years younger!

Mema Jo said...

Was looking at Phoenix - didn't believe how the feathers changed so quickly.

Mema Jo said...

I think that yesterday is catching up with me now! Palmer is sneezing and Mema is yawning.........

stronghunter said...

Hi,

Had to run out and do some errands with Will. Then he fixed supper. Very nice.

stronghunter said...

I thought Paula looked very different in the group picture. Yes, the new hairdo is nice.

stronghunter said...

Palmer is quite visible in the nest this evening, even with the strands of web there. Not quite as webby tonight.

paula eagleholic said...

good night friends, it's been a long, but fun weekend....see ya tomorrow

hugs to all ♥

Costume Lady said...

Jo, Gene said to tell you that he really enjoyed Anthony and Joseph. He couldn't get over their well behaved mannerisims. He is still laughing at Anthony (I believe) when Gene said they couldn't play in the bathroom and Anthony said he wasn't playing..."he had to pee!" We need to meet Alexis next time:) And Sophia, too!

PammySue said...

Lynne, do take it easy and take care of yourself!

This heat is awful. It's hard to feel good when it's this hot.

Costume Lady said...

Good night, Paula...hey, it's about time for some new photos of Gianni!(sp)

Costume Lady said...

PammySue...it was nice meeting you. Good to see you on our blog:)

Mema Jo said...

Hope continues to do well. Tonight when she stood up to bite a sapling (teething?), we snapped this picture and later measured from the ground to the tip of her nose—34 ¼ inches. That’s bigger than we thought. Seeing her every day, we didn’t notice how much she is growing. She is definitely no longer emaciated!
We examined her fresh scat and found she’s been sampling wild blueberries and American fly honeysuckle berries. Blueberries are still green but honeysuckle is beginning to ripen. Hope should do just fine once the berries really ripen.
Today, Lily approached to within 700 yards (0.4 mile) of Hope’s location. Sue went out to monitor what might happen if Lily continued and they met. False alarm. Lily’s GPS locations showed she veered sharply south. Lily no longer appears to be with a male.

Costume Lady said...

I think I am going to turn in for the night. Too much fun yesterday!

GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SLEEP WELL
PRAYERS FOR ALL

NatureNut said...

Good Grief!! I posted on Saturday or Friday's page!!! Have to see if I can copy & paste. Can't get used to how to open the threads yet.
Put some Visit pics in Momsters album.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Wanda for introducing me to Lancelot yesterday! I am also headed down the hallway.....
Tomorrow
Flag Day 2010 June 14 Holiday, a day for Americans to celebrate and show respect for our flag, it's designers and makers. Fly high old Glory!

Your camera really takes good quality pictures Loretta. Of course the photographer knows what she is doing.

Nite all! My back continues to give me fits. Took a muscle relaxer and have been in and out...mostly out this evening. lol

I am heading to the shower. Time to go to bed to sleep...not in my chair.

Weather report here is not good...hot and dry, unusual for June.

I must say, I have enjoyed all the pictures and stories from this weekend.

Nite all! Sweet dreams! Hugs for all!

stronghunter said...

Restless eaglet tonight.

God's Speed Palmer and Fly Free & High

My comment just expresses my feeling that Palmer may fledge June 14th Flag Day just as our
Spunky did!
Palmer is still there lying in the middle of the nest at this time.

Hi, Everyone,
Getting back here pretty late. Have been very busy today. Went out to breakfast, then did some more shopping. Have done a lot of bird watching later today, and watched "Wild Pacific" this evening.

Palmer seems to be plopped down in the nest right now. Guess she's tired after her adventures today.
Glad to see her there.

Wanda, love the videos and pictures! Will have more time to look at the others tomorrow.

Our Cooper's Hawk female has made another appearance on the wires over our back yard this morning, sending small birds flying in a panic. They all managed to get away.

Went to movie this afternoon--saw "Killers" with Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher. It was quite entertaining.

Well, getting pretty tired, so think I'll call it a night. Prayers said for everyone. Sleep well, and I'll talk to you tomorrow. God bless, ahd good night! Love all of you! :o]

GOOD NIGHT/GOOD MORN

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

hAHAHA. I've had a nap or two, but I haven't gone to bed for definite yet. But I was just thinking about shutting down, but I see it's getting light already.

Then I see that Palmer is active already=================

Oh, oh. I just looked again at the live feed and Palmer is gone from the nest again!!!!!!!!!!!!

About 5:40 ET .

There's a possibility that Palmer is standing at about 4:30, but there's a big chunk of Spidey's stuff right there, and I'm not sure I can see Palmer behind it or not.

Lori O. said...

Dang, she's gone again, but I see the space where I thought she was too, Jim.

movin said...

No, Palmer has flown the nest.


They cut the infra red illumination, and now I can see sticks crisscrossing the area of dark I thought might be Palmer in the lower rt. corner. She is not there.

Good morning, Lori.

Oh wow! I didn't get a chance to check the blog yesterday! Palmer fledged!!! Turned the cam on to see an empty nest this morning!! Wow! How wonderful

Lori O. said...

I thought that if I didn't go on the nest visit this year, I wouldn't be as depressed when I saw the empty nest after she fledged... It's just as big of a bummer.

I'm so happy for the health and freedom Palmer has, but dang it makes me cry.

I'd do anything to get a tracker on next years baby, or one of them.

Maybe Palmer and Hidey will find each other. I wonder where Hidey is and how he is doing?

Love you all and those precious eagle babies.

Lori O. said...

Morning Jim and Sissy.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

When did she fledge? Did anyone actually catch it on video?? OMG! How exciting!

Lori O. said...

I missed it too Sissy. Just checked in this morning and she's not these. Could she still be branching and just a few limbs up?
