BEagle said...

I think an adult is hesitant about coming to the nest and is at the cam making noise.

BEagle said...

I got the SPLIT.

BEagle said...

A Frosty sounds pretty good right now. I may have to settle for a cup of coffee.

hedgie said...

Isn't it yummy, BEagle?? Lolly has good recipes!

Piglet---peaglet....we all know that she is a piggish eaglet!! So any term that describes that is good!!

paula eagleholic said...

I could hear that last set all the way downstairs!

BEagle said...

Palmer is braying again.

paula eagleholic said...

She sure is, Lynn

BEagle said...

Hawg eagle.

wvgal_dana said...

I have looked and looked at the translate tab. Can't find "eaglet translation" closest I find is Yiddish. lmbo

BEagle said...

Eaglut.

hedgie said...

No translation for eagle-speak, Dana!!!! But think we all know what she means! LMBO!

stronghunter said...

Thanks, Dana, for your kind comments on the picture of the ring.

stronghunter said...

Presently listening to a squealing eaglet and a purring cat. They are asking for the same thing. Loud purring at this time of the day is stage one of begging for food.

stronghunter said...

I am two hours late feeding the kitty, but then we started the day late. He is beginning to adjust to the summer schedule.

BEagle said...

eaglebucket

paula eagleholic said...

Loch of lowes back on, but dark there now. They sure do have short nights.

hedgie said...

I like eaglut, too!

BEagle said...

I was noticing Palmer blinking. Hadn't really noticed that before.

paula eagleholic said...

Palmer sure is noisy tonight!

hedgie said...

It is approx. 60 degrees at Loch of Lowes and here is sunrise/sunset info for Mon.--Sunrise:4:21 AM
Sunset:10:05 PM They are 5 hours ahead of us.

BEagle said...

I think a parent is right above the cam somewhere.

BEagle said...

Parent just returned.

stronghunter said...

Palmer is taking possession of the nest and anything in it.

BEagle said...

Parent is already gone.

BEagle said...

My, my, what a fuss bucket.

BEagle said...

Maybe Palmer will feed Belle. : )

BEagle said...

They hear that motorcycle.

I may be wrong. That could very well be Lib.

stronghunter said...

I still can't tell Belle and Lib apart.

stronghunter said...

Maybe I can learn to distinguish them this summer.

BEagle said...

If Belle would come along side Lib and stay a few minutes, we might be able to make some distinctions.

paula eagleholic said...

they have taught her well!

BEagle said...

Whoa. Look at that. Throwing her weight around.

I have never seen it this bad yet.

stronghunter said...

Palmer ain't feeding nobody but herself, but she just got tricked.

stronghunter said...

But recovered.

wvgal_dana said...

Daughter won't answer my calls or text because I know she is afraid to tell me the "package" didn't get there by UPS. She knows I'll cry because she has been crying.

I have tracked it and something is very wrong. I have written down my ID and password but they won't work.

Damn I am p---ed!!!!!!!

BEagle said...

She fusses at them when they come in and cries when they're gone.

stronghunter said...

Eagle cursing.

BEagle said...

Maybe she will feel better after that poop shoot.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD EVENING...
Back from Interstate Insanity:)
Lots of traffic out there, last night and today!
Gene and I both enjoyed our newest adventure...a fun time, it was:)

Stopped at GG's before coming home and after being there long enough to do her meds and some food, she said you both look tired, go home and take a nap...so we did! That is a first for her...she usually doesn't want us to go. Tis a good sign, I think:)

stronghunter said...

Oh, is this the package with the hat, Dana? I have missed something. Sorry it hasn't gotten there.

BEagle said...

You mention they trained her well.
These must be the qualities of a good eagle.

She is making an A+

stronghunter said...

It does sound like a good sign, Wanda.

stronghunter said...

She's gotten herself all overheated. Now she is panting.

BEagle said...

I thought she dragged the fish over to the far tree. Is it under her now?

stronghunter said...

Wonder how much is instinct and how much is taught? I am thinking of eaglets like Noah. They have to learn to take care of themselves, but it is obvious that Belle and Lib are giving Palmer practice.

wvgal_dana said...

I'll be back after I try to find something out about this package that was mailed6/14 to get there 6/20 by UPS. IT IS LOST!!!!!

Costume Lady said...

Shirley, do you think Judie would have a differing opinion...like, she is getting tired of us and doesn't want us to stay so long?;)

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Palmer is going to stay the night

Costume Lady said...

DANA...WHAT IS LOST?!
Is it that table? Mercy, I hope not!

paula eagleholic said...

Finally called my son to wish him a Happy Dad's Day...thought he worked today, but he took off. He didn't have a lot of time to chat, he was busy being a Dad ♥

Costume Lady said...

Palmer has spent the night elsewhere and knows the comfort of her nest. Hope she sleeps there for a good, long time:) Somehow, it makes me feel secure to see her there:)

paula eagleholic said...

Aww Dana, sorry your package has not been delivered yet!

stronghunter said...

Probably shouldn't speculate on what Judie might think. She has already told me that I have some kind of personality disorder because I said I heard voices at the nest. Next thing I know I will be in a padded room.

If GG wants to get rid of you because she is busy, that is probably good, too.

BEagle said...

I remember when Palmer was smaller, Belle was still on the nest and she went over and whacked Lib to get the fish he brought in. The eaglet, oops peaglet, watches those things.

BEagle said...

I certainly hope that Dana gets things straitened out. What disappointing news.

Costume Lady said...

There was a Father's Day-WV Day celebration at the Rest Area. Bluegrass Band played some good music. We were given some pretty neat shirts with WILD AND WONDERFUL WV embroidered on them.

Coffee pot gave out on us, so we had to make coffee in the Eagle Express. Someone finally gave us a suggestion as to how to fix it, and it worked:)

BEagle said...

Have you ever heard the phrase.
Anyone who points a finger at you is pointing more fingers at themselves? (or something like that).

BEagle said...

May I ask what the suggestion was for making coffee?

Costume Lady said...

BEagle, something was stuck in the opening that the water drips from as it goes into the filter. Cleaned it out and worked fine after that:)

Costume Lady said...

Shirley, as I recall, Jo heard voices one day...don't remember where:)
There have been times that I, lying in bed at night, could hear out TV, as though it was on very, very low. Get up and TV is turned off. Never mentioned it to Gene, don't like Padded Cells. Well, we were talking with Karla one evening and she was telling us of some of her ghost stories when she lived in a 1700's house. Gene, then told her of his TV ghost...he'd been hearing it too! Whaaaaat?

BEagle said...

OH. I see. I thought you might be referring to another alternative to making coffee!

paula eagleholic said...

Wanda, maybe it was someone else's tv??

paula eagleholic said...

Or you both need a padded cell, lol

stronghunter said...

Oh, oh, I see spidey.

Judie said...

Okay, y'all, I'm not going down the disorders road with ya.

LOL. Shirley really is on vacation. Our English teacher used the word ain't. LMBO.

Can't get the live cam so can only imagine from the comments that Palmer is pitching one hissy fit after another. Well, you go girl. Call it like you see it!

Dana, so sorry the package is lost. Still, the thought is there and when the package arrives, all will be okay with lots and lots of wonderful memories for your daughter.

Wanda, glad you and Gene had a good time and that GG is feeling up to telling you two to go home. I think she's feeling much better.

BBL

Mema Jo said...

BEagle I just made a cup of coffee BUT 2 hrs ago I did enjoy a Frosty!

Glad you and Gene had a fun day! Glad your shirts said Wild & Wonderful and NOT that new saying they were going to have for WV - I can't remember it right now but it was yuck. Did all your brownies get eaten?

BEagle said...

What is Palmer doing? Never seen her in that position.

Mema Jo said...

Looks like Palmer fell forward and went boom....... Any idea?

stronghunter said...

I remember we had a conversation before about voices coming from a device--was it computer speakers? We decided it was because there was a nearby broadcasting station and the signal was coming through because it was so near, something like that.

paula eagleholic said...

Wanda, glad GG is feeling good enough to tell you to go home!

stronghunter said...

Palmer is panting. I have seen her in other odd positions, but this one is new.

Costume Lady said...

:) PAULA.

Mema Jo said...

Do you all think Palmer is comfy?

Judi do you have the still cam and can you see the position she is in over there at 3:00?

Dana do you have the tracking # of your package and can you track it on the UPS site? Is that how you know it is lost (not delivered)

Mema Jo said...

I think GG had a hot date and didn't want you hanging around lol

Costume Lady said...

Paula, we have no near-by neighbors! Padded Cells may be in our future;)

JO, I'm pleased to say that our Brownies were a big hit with adults and children, alike. Kids especially loved having pop corn at 8 o'clock in the morning...a novelty for them:) I think there were enough for the last shift of the day to put out.

paula eagleholic said...

Today's video is ready...

http://eagletmomsters.blogspot.com/

paula eagleholic said...

I saw her with her tail end hanging over the edge...guess it wasn't comfy, she's laying all the way in the nest now

Costume Lady said...

OH, speaking of Hot Dates, when we were at my aunt's viewing, an old school mate of GG's was there and was asking around if anyone had seen Edith (they were sweet on each other, way back then). Oh, what a sweet reunion it was! Gene snapped a picture, but I don't recall seeing it.

BEagle said...

That video is priceless.

paula eagleholic said...

Palmer just got up and moved to the 1 spot

BEagle said...

Nice sunset at WE.

Costume Lady said...

Thanks, Paula, for taking the time to make that video. Smiled all the way through...she is a beast:) (just like her Mama taught her).

Mema Jo said...

Loved that video Paula - Palmer's true self! I sent you an email from you spot about and idea for new merchandise if possible. Hope so!

hedgie said...

Jo, that other motto was Open for Business!!! Gov got so much flack over that....thank goodness he changed it back to Wild and Wonderful!!

Costume Lady said...

I SECOND THAT, LYNN!
STUPID Governor!

wvgal_dana said...

I am so UPSET tracking number would not work until today which was too late. Package arrived in Commerce City, Colorado on 17th and is sitting there until 23 or 24th. They didn't even try contacting her or me and they had my phone number and all. It is all because that guy at UPS store on Rt.11 near car wash, Nationwide or Shopping center where Food Lion is. He did not put the Building number on the package. I kept telling him it needed the building numbe along with the apt number. All no he said it is kicking out the building number. I said then find some place to put it in there because it is needed!!!!! I told him they have the address for her already in the system and it always has the building and apt numbers both on it. He kept saying it is kicking the building number out so that means they will still deliver it to right place on time because they don't need the building number to deliver it. I SAID YES THEY DO!!! Oh Lord what a mess. I texted Daughter and told her I know why she hasn't texted me. Then I went on to explain. We both were crying through our text messages. Of course she will go pick it up on Monday.

Boy oh Boy is this UPS store going to which they were closed this Monday!!!! :(:( grrrr Mommy Bear IS MAD!!! at what they did to baby bear!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Have to tell my Mother to stay home Monday. She might have to come and get me out of jail. Never been in one before. Margy tell them to please put me in a clean cell.

BEagle said...

All the eaglets at TH, WE, and PH are on their nests.

I suppose the TH may try flying out in the morning.

One of the seasoned chatters said they will fly off the rock and also an adult will swoop the nest at that time.

I just might be able to catch that if I get up early enough.

stronghunter said...

Setting: Somewhere on the banks of the Potomac River.

Belle: Lib, we need to have
a nice, peaceful dinner,
just the two of us.

Lib: Yeah. Tell you what. I'll
take a couple of fish to
the kid. That will keep
her occupied, and we can
have a nice, romantic
dinner down here by the
river.

stronghunter said...

Thanks, Paula! Good video.

BEagle said...

That is awful Dana. To think that they can't use an address because the machine kicks it out?

BEagle said...

Shirley. That was excellent. You can even get a picture of it with that.

Ho ho ho he he (snort). :D :D

BEagle said...

You are funny Shirley.

stronghunter said...

I can just picture the two of them enjoying a peaceful fish dinner, too, BEagle. They have earned a little peace.

BEagle said...

Yes, like they have become so weary with their sibling.

paula eagleholic said...

OH, I put one more video on the
EM blog.

wvgal_dana said...

Paula video was great. If you have one on Hidey. We need to see if Hidey was as much of a screamer lol

Leaving for tonight

Prayers for those that need them

God Bless Our Fathers

paula eagleholic said...

Love it Shirley!!

And BEagle's snorting, too!!

Mema Jo said...

Shirley and all - It is a stange sight after Palmer really leaves to see Belle and Liberty in their nest alone! Really special.

paula eagleholic said...

I don't recall if Hidey was that loud...would have to meander through some older videos...

stronghunter said...

Hidey was very loud.

Mema Jo said...

I didn't realize that Steve was stranded in CO !! What a sight - I would enjoy that!
Steve has posted 2 updated pics on the home page of our blog.

Whoo Hoo! I hadn't seen them until now.
Maybe all of you others have already seen and commented on them......

stronghunter said...

I am about ready to call it a night. I will see you fine folks tomorrow. Good night and God bless.

Dana, so sorry your package did not arrive when you wanted it to. At least it is not lost.

I think it might upset your daughter if you went to jail over this. Might just spoil things for her. Please promise me you will not do anything to get arrested.

Bless you, Dana. Your daughter will appreciate your efforts.

stronghunter said...

I didn't see the news from Steve, either, Jo.I do not know how I could have missed it.

stronghunter said...

That is beautiful scenery, isn't it?

stronghunter said...

Good night!!

Mema Jo said...

Steve said 'update' I think he may have added a short time ago.
Beautiful place and I bet the music is great.

BEagle said...

I started watching the cam right before Hidey fledged. I didn't watch as much as I have Palmer though.

I thought that Hidey was a mean spirited bird. Now don't laugh too hard because I had no knowledge of eagles.

Well, I kept thinking of Hidey when Palmer was smaller, and I thought that Palmer would grow up to be a sweet eagle and not fussy like Hidey.

WOW. Palmer is worse.

hedgie said...

Sorry, Dana....don't get me started on package delivery. I had one coming with "expected" delivery date of 6/18. It left CA, sat in Colorado for 3 days, and then took 3 more days to get here....exactly on the 18th. UPS.
And don't forget the condition of my Christmas box from MO. USPS.
Mom's b-day presents took 3 weeks--USPS--from wherever a company shipped from---but, thank goodness, it did arrive ON her b-day.

BEagle said...

Those are nice Colorado pictures.
Thank you for pointing them out Jo.

paula eagleholic said...

No, I hadn't seen that
Steve was waiting on a canceled flight...saw the pics on FB though. Very pretty.

hedgie said...

Those pics weren't there from Steve a few hours ago when I rebooted!!! He has added them this evening. Bet that concert was rockin'!! Colorado is beautiful. Wonder what caused flight delays.....storms, I guess.

Judie said...

Dana, if you end up in jail I'll try to arrange for some padded walls, lol. Between Margy and me, we can arrange to help you plan your escape. Seriously, all will be okay. Not worth your blood pressure.

Judie said...

Paula, thank you so much for the videos of Palmer. Now I know what everyone was talking about. Palmer is, indeed, a very fussy eaglet.

BEagle said...

This is the most quietousness I have heard at the nest all day.

NatureNut said...

Wow, what great pictures from Steve! Not a bad place to be stranded.
Read Miss Piggy is in the nest.Food always works.

That is why we have a problem here. Fubby started putting kitty food out for wild, stray. little calico kitty during the blizzard.She appeared on the 3 foot snow bank one day eating bread for the birds! She comes by now & then & we put out dry cat food. We have a small water dish for Shorty, the squirrel.Early this evening, she was at top of short staircase as I was going in side door. She usually gets far away from you. She stayed until I got to door & turned to go down steps & stumbled down like her back legs were very weak.After we were inside, she drank lots of water, ate some food & laid down right there. Later she went down back stairs, out to grass & laid on her side.She later came up & laid on deck. Now she's gone.The dilemma is we'll have to wait until morning & see if we see her.If she's still sick or debilitated enough maybe we could get close enough to throw a towel or something over her & get her in cage (wearing leather gloves of course) & get her to vet if he'll take her. It's always something---don't need anymore animal drama. Thx for listening--and I thought all the angst was in Scotland.
I pray that people will get responsible about their animals.

Judie said...

Shirley, I like your scenario of Belle and Lib having a romantic (and blissfully quiet) dinner together. Good night.

Did see both eaglets at TH and WE. Pretty.

Maybe tomorrow will be a live cam day for me and Palmer will come to visit.

Will be turning my light off soon but will leave the night light on for others coming in, going back the hallway, headed to the tub or the shower, upstairs or downstairs. Andy, please set the alarm for us as you always do. Thank you.

Goodnight everyone.

BEagle said...

Night all!

God bless you all. He loves you.

paula eagleholic said...

Hitting the hay,

See ya'll tomorrow!

Hugs to all ♥

magpie said...

think I've missed a few folks
Hope sleep is good,
summer starts tomorrow
bright and early...

Wanda, sounds like a great adventure at the Welcome Center..
hope to see some pictures maybe?
loved the GG comment....

sorry to read of the package fiasco Dana
I rely on the US postal service, generally, very reliable...

hedgie said...

I will throw in my goodnight, too. It is dawn in Scotland, and Isla is still moving...where there's breath, there's life, as the saying goes........I just pray she's not in pain. Chicks are nestled close to her,still sleeping. She's still protecting them, and I hope they are giving her comfort.
See you all tomorrow. Prayers and peace.

magpie said...

hoe that little cat will be okay, Loretta...

Loch of the Lowe's is back up, Isla and chicks sacked out before sunrise

magpie said...

you and me Lynn..checking on the little feather family

time to head out soon
last month on this routine, go to dayshift, five, 8 hour days in July, at least for one month

God Bless Us, Every one
xo ♥

Update on Lily the Black Bear....

Mema Jo said...

Loretta - Hope the calico comes back or makes it on her own. Be great to catch her and have her/him neutered.

Have a good shift at work, Margy.

Good night to all who have gone back their hallways.........

kickngbird said...

Just got back - Dana, I read the hat story and the sad saga about the UPS goof-up. I'm so sorry to hear the hat and special picture didn't arrive in time for Father's Day as planned. I'm sure your daughter appreciated your thoughtfulness - the best laid plans, while so sweet in theory, were unfortunately thwarted by the doofuses.

When she finally does receive those things, they will be even more special for having to wait a little bit longer and for the angst of all this delivery drama.

I'm just so glad they weren't lost! They're too precious. You're probably in bed by now - it's late on the east coast - hope you can get some decent sleep until you know for sure she has them in hand!

NatureNut said...

Well time to try & get off this 'puter!!
Loved Shirley's Belle & Lib romance novel!
Wanda, glad to hear GG has got lots of Spunk & you had interesting time at Welcome Ctr. When we drove up last weekend, saw the one that was supposed to be Open--NOT!!
Thx for letting me cry on your shoulders! Jo, if kitty gets better, Fubby mentioned we should just get her fixed & let her go her way. I was hoping to find someplace that takes ferals for barn cats, but only heard of one on Eastern Shore.And we're talking $$$ for animal that doesn't belong to us---but I'd do it.
Oh Well, Scarlet says, "Tomorrow is another day."
Pleasant Dreams to All, ;>)

kickngbird said...

Paula - Thanks so much for the great video! I did LOL! Only instinct can keep eagle parents coming back to continue feeding & teaching & protecting such surly offspring!!

But it was good to see Palmer so feisty because she definitely has the fight in her that she'll need to get and keep her food when she's out on her own.

I got the impression that she was perched in the tree when Lib brought the first fish to the nest, but wasn't sure enough of herself to do a short branch-to-nest flight, so she fussed and fussed about "so near and yet so far," until she finally (I'm guessing) took a flight out and then back toward the tree. Did it look like that to anyone else?

Mema Jo said...

KB - I can't say what took Palmer so long to come into the nest after Lib and the fish were there. It very well could be like you say.

Mema Jo said...

I have overstayed my curfew! lol
Time to head back the hallway.. That
late nap I sneaked is going to take its toll on my sleeping.

Good Night All
Prayers For All
Hugs To All ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Mema Jo said...

Whoops!

HELLO SUMMER

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Margy...I do have lots of photos of the Safety Break. Just need to find the time to get them on here:)

GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL

Lolly said...

Man, it took me forever to read the blog. I fell asleep, then went and showerd and then read more of the blog. Need to get to bed!

Enjoyed the video, Paula.

Going to bed now. Will tell you about my day tomorrow. We had a great day.

Nite all! Sweet dreams!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Everyone,

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! (You too, Lib!)
and
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, LOLLY & JACK!

We have been on the go again today.
Went out to breakfast, then went walking around Old Towne Orange. Had a very enjoyable time.

Came home and took care of all our patio plants, then sat & bird watched. Spent most of the day on the cell phones either talking or texting the kids/grandkids/great-grandkid! Thank God for 'Friends & Family'! BTW, it was something like 103 where the kids live today!
Good thing there's a big community pool with a giant slide!

Boy, what a fusser our Palmer is!
Love your eagle romance novel, Shirley!

Dana, so sorry the package got delayed, but all will be OK when it's finally delivered, I'm sure.
Love that the picture is going with it--just perfect!

Hope that Steve will not be stranded for too long, and will be able to get home OK. Gotta say, though, if you have to be stranded, what a wonderful place to be! Beautiful pictures!

Amazed that Isla is still hanging in there--God bless her! Wondering now if it is possible that she had a stroke or something.
Hope she is not in pain, or suffering. What a beautiful bird!(((HUGS))) for Chrissy, who is keeping us all posted about her.

Well, getting tired, so leaving the night light and porch light burning. The eye scanner security is enabled. Prayers said for everyone. Sleep well, friends!
Will talk to you tomorrow. God bless, and goodnight! Love you guys! :o]

Judie said...

Dear heaven above. Woke up and checked on LOL. Boy Toy was feeding chicks and then Isla rallied and raised herself up and turned around, spread her wings and tucked the babies one under each wing. Cannot believe what I saw. Dear Isla a loving parent.

Lori O. said...

Palmer TOOK OFF AGAIN at 5:41.
She does it with such ease - flying out the right side of the next (as we look at it) in the 3 oclock position.

Lori O. said...

It just makes my day every day I check in on her and she's still in the nest! Thanks for hanging out with all you love you Palmer!

Lori O. said...

DANA:

Sorry about your package. I've had problems like that many times and it seems to work best when you deal with the vendor who shipped it. They know packages get lost all the time. Many times, Amazon and Coldwater Creek will just ship out your same order again at no charge and tell you to return the lost package if it ever shows up - they never do. Good Luck.

magpie said...

Okay, it's official...it's Summer
and the longest "daylight" day of the year also I think

Get those squirt guns, water blasters and water balloons ready!

Good Morning Eagle Pals

Fantastic videos Paula
thanks..!

magpie said...

Nice, somewhat encouraging update on Isla...
Maybe all the Osprayers are working...
I think the Feather family is waiting for a morning snack

magpie said...

if I had to get stranded somewhere, a Bluegrass festival in Colorado would suit me just fine...
neat pictures, Steve
I will have to Google to see what musicians were there
guess you were stranded at the airport though :(

magpie said...

Getting a double dose of ISS hereabouts on the 23rd, and a Triple Dose on the 24th...
hope some of the rest of you will also....put in YOUR zip code and see

ISS Flyovers

magpie said...

Dear Dana,
last year my special full-family
70th birthday package for my brother Fred was mailed in plenty of time to get to its destination in Naples...but, it stopped in Tampa, took a U-turn and spent an extra day or two in Baltimore. I was beside myself!
That was US Postal service....
sure that your package will be a delight and that will take the edge off the disappointment....
Please do not get arrested this morning.. ! I'm sure sorry that it happened the way it did though
xoxo

magpie said...

seeing an empty nest at NCTC at this time
read the earlier take-off report ☺
glad you got to see that Lori

glad the kid is out and about...

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING...
Thanks for the reminder of ISS Flyovers, Margy. We love to stand outside and wait for it...like looking for a friend coming for a visit:)
24th will allow us two possible visits: 9:33 pm and 11:13 pm. I can't handle the Middle of the Night ones!

magpie said...

Wanda
I figured there would be pictures, looking forward especially to any of you and Gene and those T-shirts...
don't mean to rush you...
I guess, you have spoiled us !

Best wishes for a good Monday, everyone...

sleep time here...
forget that there is an adult in the nest !

magpie said...

this could be good....

magpie said...

well I heard Palmer but the adult bailed...
hmmmmm
and mowing going on too

Good Morning Wanda ☺ and the Captain when the coffee is ready

magpie said...

Maybe that was the Let's Go Fishing departure...
and get away from this awful noise!

Costume Lady said...

I am hearing Palmer, perhaps up in her Home Tree, letting everyone and everything know she is there!
Hope she does some flyovers in our neighborhood, as did Hidey, last year. It was a joy to hear her calling as I was working in the garden...nearly every day for a week or so:)

Costume Lady said...

Rest well and looong, Margy♥

magpie said...

nope not so...two out of three waiting on the baby
one flies out

Lori O. said...

Hi Magpie and Wanda! Beautiful morning to you both.

She's already back in the nest with the food! Too funny!

magpie said...

Welcome back Lori...
wow, I'd have had to bail with all that squealing too
that was great..."don't hardly think" there is room there for the three of them anymore at the same time

did seem that she might have circled out and come back in for a "smooth landing" as Kickngbird suggested after watching Paula's video...

magpie said...

if the eaglet used a larynx instead of a syrinx for sound...think she would be pretty darn hoarse by now

got to dent the pillows now...
hate to leave this great company,
eagles AND people

ttfn xoxo

magpie said...

got a pretty good mantling picture, will add to the Momsters Photo Album

Good Night

Judie said...

Good morning Margy, Wanda, and Lori.

Guess what? I have the live cam this morning and it came on just in time to see Lib tempting Palmer into the nest with a fish. Palmer took the bait. A somewhat kurflunk landing but still a lovely sight on the first day of summer.

Margy, sleep well and am glad you are on a "normal" schedule for awhile.

Off for coffee to sip while watching our very noisy eaglet.

magpie said...

Happy to be here, Margy... Hi Judie!

Isn't just the biggest blessing that Palmer is spending so much time in the nest. I think Hidey only came back a few times and I never go to see him after he fledged, so this is so special with Palmer. :)

hedgie said...

Good 1st day of SUMMMER morning!
Gonna be a hot one here.
Saw our parents both in nest....and next time I looked, there was Palmer! Not terribly noisy yet, LOL!
Rally at L-O-L----short-lived, tho', unless she eats today. Peter says 4 days w/o food/hydration is the limit.... :( Y7 still feeding chicks.

Lori O. said...

Hey Hedgie - I looked and she's gone again.

What's this about Palmer not eating?

paula eagleholic said...

Good Morning!

I see Palmer is off to fishing school for today!

Don't know if you've had a chance to check Loch of Lowes, but Isla is doing much better!

she is up flapping her wings and walking around the nest! She is still unsteady, but very much improved. Now she needs some food. Not sure what is happening with her eyes, tho.

Lori
different nest, Ospreys...Scotland...the Mother Osprey, is ill.
I sent you an email..
you will probably get many answers here...

Lori O. said...

Thanks Mags!

Good morning Paula!

So Palmer is enjoying the Lib & Belle Cafe. I wish we could see her learning to fish! Wouldn't that be awesome.

Wanda, you were so lucky to be able to hear her while you were gardening.

Good Monday Morning in Eagle Land Judie, Lori, Margy,Wanda (hearing our Palmer), Hedgie, Paula, and watchers.

Wanda you hearing Palmer at your house while working in the garden. Are you saying our sweet, dearly, young growing eaglet has a BIG MOUTH lmbo

I too am excited to see your pics Wanda.

Thank you all for you concerns about the package. Decided not to in today and make a fuss. "Something might happen to the package in Commerce City,Co. before she can get there to pick it up. Once she has told me she has the package. I will then be at where I mailed it off from Rt.11 near Food Lion.

Get Palmer is eating well and flying and hopefully one day will come in with a fish stuck to HER talon.

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Steve for the great pictures. Don't know if your stuck in the place you was staying at during the Bluegrass Festival or at an airport.
Sorry for the "I can't go anywhere situation". Hope you can soon move on to your next destination.

hedgie said...

ARGH........this day has not started well. TOilet didn't want to stop runnning----think I finally got that taken care of. Then Miss Cinnamon decided she couldn't wait to go out (she had already been out once!) while I was busy with it and pooped on the carpet. Got a tissue to pick it up---needed more...she grabbed the tissue and proceeded to eat it while distributing the poop all over the LR and sunroom. CALGON---take me away. Grrrrr.

Lolly said...

Good morning! I am so excited, I have a full week ahead of me with nothing scheduled! Yea!

Yesterday was fun, but strange. Missed our Joseph! Jacob also did not know what to do without is brother. LOL However, he spent most of the time on the computer doing Jump Start. He looks so cute too. He got his hair cut Saturday after I left. He looks so much older!

Laurel forgot his PJ's. So he and Grandaddy went to pick out a t-shirt. He selected a Dallas Cowboy jersey. His daddy groaned and we all laughed. Got some cute pictures.

wvgal_dana said...

I hear something moving around at the cam area. Wonder who????

wvgal_dana said...

Good Monday Morning in Eagle Land Lolly.

Hope you put the pictures on your blog. Bet that was so cute.

Lolly said...

Oh, Lynn! Your day has NOT started out well. Sorry!

Annie is doing better, however we still have to give her meds. She does not trust us anymore and runs away. That is sad, very sad. We are seriously considering the shot treatment that is sooooo expensive. It is a gamble. Pills add up over the years if she lives longer. Also, we can not expect the kennel to give her meds twice a day. It is not an easy task. And, we are going to be gone 5 or 6 weeks this fall. Oh, dear, what to do????

wvgal_dana said...

Hedgie glad you are a "tool lady" like me. ( :

wvgal_dana said...

As we wait for Palmer's return. I think of fishing lessons. Palmer trying to soar the skies with Liberty and Belle (maybe one of them). She could be soaring the skies by herself too. I believe she has gotten good at her landing. Nothing like I saw that one day lol

hedgie said...

So cool that Loch cam swivels for those panoramic shots! Can't get their blog up for some reason.

hedgie said...

Lolly, I strongly recommend that you go ahead and get the shot for Annie. You don't want an elderly cat traumatized repeatedly and angry at you. That's no fun for anyone.

Judie said...

Oh Lynn, what a very unpleasant morning you have had. I am sorry. Bad Cinnamon! Bad toilet!

Lolly, enjoy some time to relax and let the days take you where they will this week. Yes, some pictures of Jacob if you have them, please. So sorry about Annie being fearful. I know that feeling all too well. Would Laurel be able to help out while you and Jack are away? Maybe a neighbor who is good with cats?

I just checked LOL and Isla seems almost normal. She is upright, looking around, preening, with the chicks near. I read the earlier report so am wondering what might have happened. Did I miss something?

Well, off to chores. BBL

Judie said...

Lynn, LOL report indicates they give Isla about 24 hours as a bird her size would survive without food and fluid for about four days. They do admit that she is looking more alert. That's why when I checked a few minutes ago, I couldn't believe she looks almost like her old self. How I wish this would be a recovery. Maybe ospreys can get sick if they eat a sick fish?

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning All! Reading all of your comments and enjoying the details of the morning!
I see the MT nest and would love to be watching whenever Palmer flies in with a fish in her talons.

Lolly said...

I actually ventured to LOL. I just do not want to witness something so sad. Would love to see her fed!

We are going to inquire about the shot. Lynne mentioned though that it is around $1200. That is a lot of money! However, right now her meds are $30 a month. But if half a pill twice a day is not enough, it will go to $60 a month. Then it starts to add up fast. And, we do hate that she is so fearful of us. Jack is grinding up the pill and dissolving it in sugar water and gives it in a dropper. That is better.

Then there is the question...just like humans. It is all about quality of life.

Lolly said...

Good morning, Jo! And, how are you this fine day?

Lolly said...

It is funny. Have been retired 10 years now. Took an early retirement. However, I still feel guilty when I am sitting down during the day and not up and doing something productive.

Lolly said...

Off now to do my walking. It has been a bit iffy lately. Need to get back to it.

Have a great day!

Judie said...

Oh Lolly, I feel bad when I am doing nothing much in the summer -- NOT!!! Enjoy your walking.

Good morning, Mema Jo. What's on your agenda today, if I may be so nosy?

hedgie said...

Newspaper article about Isla AKA Lady:
Loch article

Mema Jo said...

I don't have anything exciting to report Judie. Maybe I'll walk out to retrieve the mail and I'll probably let the cats in and out a lot today.
Boring....... On the flip side I have the house to myself most of the day as hubby is donating blood and then off for a haircut. Needless to say his schedule is more impressive then mine.
But I sure am not complaining about being inside in the AC on this first hot day of summer.........

Mema Jo said...

I had been watching the LOL chicks being fed and seeing how Isla is sitting up and alert - there may be some hope for her. I sure hope so.
She didn't eat anything yet


I hear someone being clumsy up at our mic... Maybe fishing school is over for the morning........

Mema Jo said...

I hope Chrissy is watching the LOL cam now. Isla looks, shall I say okay!
She seems to be more alert - at least she is walking around the nest, flapping wings a little, head has been up for quite a while. I hope these are all good signs that she will make it.

Costume Lady said...

I'm feeling so sad for Isla...like Fiona said, if she has had a stroke, she may not be able to remind herself to eat. Her devotion to her little chicks is unbelievable! Praying for quick recovery or quick death (I think I'm aloud to pray for that)

Will be at GG's the rest of the day.
Have a great afternoon♥

ps Saftey Break pics on Just For Fun:)

Mema Jo said...

Is someone coming to the nest... Hear some noise up there.......

How long does your LOL cam stay on before you have to refresh..... Mine is not very long........ but is does come right back up......

hedgie said...

Judie, it's only a matter of time with Isla, as Chrissy calls her. Lady on their site. They say she has not opened her eyes. Today is allegedly the last day she can last without hydration. They really seem to be leaning toward a stroke---don't know how they can tell.
I'm glad that we encourage everyone to call our birds by our names. There are so many names bandied about at the Loch that it's hard to know who they're talking about. Someone calls Y7 Frank. See a reference to Eric which is apparently good ol' Angus who did not return with Isla this year.

Mema Jo said...

Steve must still be stranded in beautiful CO as there isn't a new thread yet! I hope his weather is as great as ours on this 1st day of summer.

Taking a break for lunch.........

hedgie said...

Jo, mine is cutting off after 10 mins. Until Sat. it would stay on until I shut it off.......maybe too many viewers now.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Monday Morning in Eagle Land
Mema Jo----I will 2nd that comment you made. ( :

stronghunter said...

Isla is sitting up and was flapping her wings and moving around. Her chicks are making soft little chirping sounds.

hedgie said...

Nice pics, Wanda. Your church outreaches are truly God-sent!

stronghunter said...

Sorry . . . good afternoon. I have been sleeping and lurking and sleeping and lurking. Had trouble sleeping last night.
