«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 1296 Newer› Newest»Palmer is looking for his lunch!
Watch for a fly-in or shadow overhead.......
Palmer up at noonish - watching for an incoming meal...... lol
Saw that pic, Jim, but thanks for posting it---enlarged it looks like Hope is very thin......
Wanda, so glad that GG is doing better, but Doc is right: she needs to keep that leg elevated as much as possible! as that Dr. B? Didn't know his in-laws lived next to GG; thought those folks were younger than that!
I think that Palmer just had a
"Hissy Fit"
Did you see Palmer just now?
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
I just passed the one hour mark on the live feed without any interruptions! Is this happening for everyone else ?
Palmer was kind of flying all over the nest and nearly went over the side at one point.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
I think I should get my own lunch and not worry about Palmer getting hers'
I was watching her feet during that fly around the nest, Jim!
I was just hoping she caught a hold of something and didn't go out of there.... Nerve racking!
Protest at the Spelling Bee is ridiculous. However, the Bee itself is ridiculous. I am an excellent speller with a huge vocabulary; last year I had never heard of at least half of the words from the final bee. Words that are basically not ever used in normal speech are ridiculous words to use for a bee. JMHO. What ever happened to words like antidisestablishmentarianism and supercalifragilisticexpealidocious??
update BWO...
06/04/10:
We've seen some activity behind the older chicks that seems to indicate the third chick is still hanging in there.
Sure hope so, Mits!!!
If you like political cartoons, I have posted one on my SMILES:):) BLOG....however, if you are fond of Barack Obama, maybe you shouldn't look at it. I'm just sayin.....
1281 viewers hoping to see a Little Loon or 2 hatch! One of those viewers is ME !
Both adults in Finney's nest now.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
My cam still running at 1:03:51, 52, 53, 54! :)
Whoo Hoo! Sure hope the timer keeps going and going. Just hope it is intentional
Mine is 1:40:38
hedgie: real name Irene - I deleted the other Google name that snuck in sometimes because even I was getting confused - my old avatar was a "grizzly."
Ragdoll: I live in Salem MA - hail from quiet area of Western PA south of Pittsburgh - soon to move out "west" because I really miss the country and my vegetable garden - (sigh).
There you go Hedgie/Lynn
Write that down now......
FuzzleMA is Irene....
Irene - how far out west will you go?
Palmer is being very very patient!
Mom and Dad, I think, are preparing her with a reason for the first flight! FOOD !
Palmer is whimpering - must be lonely for just one little eaglet all alone!
She and Hidey should get together.
Good afternoon.
Thank you, Jim, for the picture of Hope.
Can't even get "as the circle turns" on live cam. Missing all the Palmer action. Just a pale square where once there was a Palmer.
Lynn, those "old fashioned" words have now been combined into antisuperdiscalifragilestabilistictarianism.
Okay, back to reading: female serial killers - fun.
Thanks, Irene. I have it written down on my cheat sheet now!!
Are you going to western MA, or out west as in western part of the US??
JO, I also, keep feeling sorry for Palmer, being an only child, but then, I remember that she was a miracle given to us to enjoy...we almost didn't get any in the nest this year!
By the way...Gene's fishing trip was cancelled...too late to change our nest visit plans now!
Lynn...Charlie Hensell and wife Margy are GG's neighbors. I went to school with both of them. Margy and Dr. B wife are sisters.
That is so funny (ironical) Wanda
Yard sale plans of Dana's changed
Capt Gene's fishing trip cancelled
Must be a reason.... Maybe Palmer
will NOT fledge until the 12th at Noon! lol
Live feed running smoothly
2:11:00 Wowsie!
I pray it is intentional!
Missing Paula and some others!
WOW!! the different live feed is great. Just like the energizer bunny. Goes on and on and on!!
Judie, you have such a way with words!!!! I have a book for you to read, BTW....it is very old----50's. Found it among some of my Dad's old books. As soon as I finish it, I'll drop it in the mail. It's interesting reading: 15 historical notorious criminals.
Deb I sure it stays this way so that we just don't miss that first
flight of Palmer's
Hi, Everyone,
Just getting here now because of some unscheduled drama with my modem. Long story, but it's resolved now. I'll spare you the gory details.
Jim, thanks for the picture of little Hope--praying that she keeps coming back to the food and keeps her strength up.
Hope that Annie the cat is feeling better today. Think it would be a good idea to give the vet an update though--can't hurt, and it might help.
Wanda, checked out your Smiles Blog :):)--very funny!--and SO true.
Well, need to give my homework some attention. Will check back in a bit. Have a super day! :o]
You tell them Palmer!
Love to hear her 'eaglet talk'
Well, after all of the plan changes, Palmer better change any notion she has of flying the coop before next week, too!
Wanda, gotcha! I misinterpreted---thought the neighbors were his parents-in-law!!!
Jim, Thank you for the picture of Hope. I could get that one at work. Glad she was eating.
I am hesitant to take a nap this afternoon even if just an hour...
I could miss a loon egg hatching or and eaglet flying......
But I am in control - off to put the feetsies up! lol
Mema Jo, I don't wamt to miss that firt fledge either. I miss it last year with Hidey.
End of day wrap up. BBL ^..^
Want, I meant want. Good thing I'm not in the Spelling Bee.
Will someone please tell Palmer it would be a good idea to fledge tomorrow in honor of my birthday.
: )
Don't know what's wrong. Still can't get the live cam to open. Pale square, no circle, and clicking Play does nothing. Grrrr.
Checked CA eaglets and Jim is correct -- it won't be long.
Also checked on Phoenix. Looks like rain there and hiding under adult. Big stick hiding egg.
Lynn, would love to read your Dad's book. Thank you. Dontcha jest luv vocabulariums?
Hot, really unpleasantly hot here.
Sorry about the canceled fishing trip and yard sale. Back up plans?
Glad Shirley's soiree went well.
Hope Margy is getting some good sleep.
Treat tonight. Headed for Kennedy Center to see Lawrence Fisbburne in one-man play Thurgood. He did this on Broadway several years ago and it has gotten very good reviews here. Looking forward to this one.
Back to reading -- maybe a nap. AC and ceiling fans are not helping much today.
Gosh, it's awful outside. Was feeling guilty that I wasn't out there doing stuff, but there is an air quality alert for people w/ respiratory problems, so that lets me off the hook!!
Did Palmer get fed yet?? She seems a bit quieter now.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Severe thunderstorm watch issued until 10pm for all surrounding counties/states. Hang on, Palmer!! Can see her feathers blowing a bit.
From the blog at Atlanta, it appears Lun Lun might be getting ready to mate....
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Looking over at the San Diego cam, I think Bai Yun just returned from a trek around the compound, and then she tried to start some play fighting with Diego....
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Raining here now, but not storming.
So Atlanta doesn't do artificial insemination, Jim?
T-Bird I love you but I'm not telling her that! She can wait until she sees you!
Enjoy your evening's entertainment Judie! Let us hear all about it!
And just like that the sun is back out and rain stopped!
Oh, Judie, I'm envious! I bet the show will be great! Enjoy!
Thelma, your birthday present MUST be late---I have told Palmer she has to wait and make her debut flight just for you when you are there to witness it!
Hedgie, I think I got the idea from an earlier blog that, while Atlanta has been doing artificial insemination, they would be willing to give the pair a chance at the natural program if they show an interest.
I think Bai Yun at San Diego was artificially inseminated on her first pregnancy, but she and Gao Gao have produced them all since by natural means.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Live feed went to 60:00:00
then it started over and is now 1:04:56
Well, my puter is showing some signs of hanging up. Think I'll shut some stuff down for now.
Talk more later.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
hedgie and Mema Jo: from your 1:00 ish comment: I visited Spokane WA, Coeur d'Alene ID and Missoula MT a while back and absolutely fell in love with Montana. It is BEAUTIFUL country with a lot of trees, wide open blue sky that you can actually see and crisp clean air. Pretty evident this country gal has been too long in the city!!
Oh-oh. Thundering now. Time to shut down. BBL.
Irene, my sis and BIL hope to one day settle in Montana! Big sky country. Bye!
I thought I heard those wings a flappin'
Too Much Too Much
Thelma I thought she was a gonner.
Anyone else with me on the live feed ????
Teenage angst...
PALMER BACK IT UP
Think the thunder will keep her in the nest. I think hunger is the main reason for her calls, but the approaching storm just adds to her anxiety.
Heard that whimper again - pathetic, isn't it?
Hi KB I really don't know that she has been brought any food today.
FuzzzleMA - Go for it!
Not sure but maybe storm around the nest - or could just be the wind blowing.....
All the new sticks that have arrived haven't been arranged very nicely - my guess is that the grumpy teenager has chased off Mom or Dad as soon as sticks get delivered! So no nice "bowl" to hunker down into.
Yepper - Big Boomers.....
Can we hear raindrops? (I am half deaf - just wondering)
Some of the sticks could be from the sides of the nest... not sure since I didn't see them come in.
Yes it's raining there - not hard, though
Good point about the sticks - Palmer may have grabbed them from the sides and pulled them around, "messing up" her room!
Rain coming down a little harder now, doubt any adult is doing any fishing or hunting, so no meal is likely to come in any time soon.
OH POOP. Left school came home and now I can't get back on the live feed. I lost my place. Now I have to go back to the end of the line.
Well, this is what those 7,000 beautiful feathers on an eagle are for! I wouldn't want to be out in that rain, but Palmer will be fine. Hungry, but fine!
Got to run -
Deb - hope you get on
Keep trying....... I have it up on IE and it hasn't quit on me yet!
I am missing all the action. BOO! HISS!
Just had a first. When I signed in I had to do a verification word. I have be asked to put my password in twice, but never verification word. Hummmm!!
Oh Boy! This is almost too much to watch........
Thank you Mema Jo. I now have the live feed. I was standing in line on Firefox.
I hear parent from above.
could be a parent near the mic.....
Oh! Palmer is hungry and wet.
I couldn't get back into the Loon Cam
Looks like the sun is back out.
Is our gal preening those downy feathers or just having a wing to cover her head from the rain? lol
Well, she has calmed down.
I have tried the loon cam on IE and FF. Won't work for me either. Darn
Well, storm was a complete fizzle here, but apparently quite bad in town. May be more to come...
I can't wait to get the detailed report on Hope this evening. I would also like to hear more on Lily.
Hedgie. Glad the storm is over for you. At lease for now.
My oh my, what a mess that nest is!
Just like a kid......Clean your room, Palmer!
I can't get the Loon cam up, either.
I really have to take a short break. Seems like Palmer has calmed down. No storm here yet from over the mountain.
BBILW
Your right Hedgie. What a mess. Do you think she has been knocking the rails down when she is flap dancing.
Just check out Hornby. Pheonix is growing. When is Parents going to let go of that egg.
Palmer doesn't seem to be moving a muscle!
Yep, Deb, I bet she has knocked them down from around the rim.
I find it very strange that Hornby eagles haven't gotten that dud egg out of there, too.
Finally, got a live picture of Palmer just hangin out. As you all have seen, the nest is just a mess. Wonder what happened?
Irene, I asked about the Hornby egg yesterday -- first time I had seen it. Jo said is was not viable but Phoenix wants it to stay put. He/she seems to like to cover it up.
No storm here, yet. May come along in a little while.
Very positive news about Hope. Just pray she will continue to take advantage of the food provided and not get scared off.
BBL with a Thurgood report.
Maine BRI eaglets are grow fast.
Loon cam is up. It's really windy and rocky. Lots of different noises.
You can see both loons. One on nest. One close by in the water.
Loons just made a nest switch. I saw both eggs.
New Hope report is Hopeful!!!
HOPE
Got loon back up. Look at that nest arockin'! Look at the blue sky at the horizon!
Thank you Hedgie for the new hopeful update. Now if she will just stay where she is and continue to eat. eat..eat..eat Then maybe they can put a little collar so she can be tracked. (((HUGS for little Hope)))
Hi, Everyone!
Lynn, thanks for the news of Hope! Sounds like the little cutie is doing OK! What a relief!
Sure hope she's going to be all right.
Just got in from filling bird feeders and watering my patio plants. The male Bullock's Oriole was back, followed shortly by the juvie male and both females! They are still going to just the hummer feeder, but have taken all of the blueberries I've put on the oriole feeder. Had an oriole AND a Rufous hummer on the hummer feeder at the same time yesterday! They were too fast for me to get a picture of them, though. Will keep trying.
Whew! Although the thermometer says it's only in the low 70s, it feels warmer than that--I think it feels like the low 80s. Guess I'd better go get a shower. Maybe that will help. Hubby should be home from work soon, so better get movin'. Will be back later, after dinner.
Judie, enjoy your show tonight! Can't wait for your report!:o]
Oh, before I forget--regarding the branches in the nest, I've heard that as it gets closer to fledge time, the adult eagles tend to put branches in the nest to make it less comfortable for the
eaglet(s), and encouraging them to leave the nest. Could that be what's going on? Ok, gotta run--will BBL. :o]
I worry that with her big feet, Palmer could trip over all that mess and fall right over the edge!!
Gee, Andy, that's interesting. Hadn't heard that! Guess mom and pop know best.
Hope you get some pics of those birds!
I had never heard that about messy nests - I had always seen and heard that the juvie is the one with all their jumping that makes the mess.
Only thing I know about making them feel uncomfortable is the feeding.
However - I remember them feeding Hidey
up to the last minute......
You know - it's feed - poop shoot -
and off you go from the side of the nest!
Sounds like another storm coming through
radar shows a storm west of the nest heading out of Martinsburg, looks fairly strong
I've reviewed the blog for today and nowhere do I see that Palmer
has eaten. I really don't like those tactics!
Sounds strong!
How is your weather.....?
Have not heard from Megan recently.
mine is super-doper:), Jo
now on radar looks like the worst of the storm might pass by NW of the nest....I'm on weather underground radar.....
I wish Palmer would just lie down in that old egg cup!
I wish I had a harness on her
Did anybody see what I just saw? Palmer when right up in the air and for a second you couldn't see her.
Mits - can you get either of the cams (Stil or Live)
It's raining on Palmer.
She is looking up Not at me cause I hope either her mom or dad is up on their limb.
Thunderstorm. Don't fledge now Palmer your all wet.
yes,Jo I can get both, still do not like what it does to my computer when I put it up.
I'm glad you're watching Deb
Hear thunder again, but sun is out.....
Palmer is sitting on the branch by the trunk of the tree. Looking around.
If I start going down for more than a week at a time - I'm getting DSL.... Can't stand my dial up down there.
Did you get any rain from this second storm, Lynn?
Hedgie thanks for posting HOPE
I had eaten dinner and spoted it right here on the blog...
Parents need to bring that girl something to eat soon. When I saw her go so high she was out of site she was going out at about 2:00.... Heart Attack Plus!
Blue Jay is stealing all the peanuts that I had left out for squirrels.......
Deb - that 2:00 spot looks like it is her favorite for her High Jumps.
Sounds a bit more quiet
Helen what does the weather map say
Oh well forget that....Boom Boom Man just went off!
BBL...need to eat, have a glass or two of wine. Need to calm my nerves down. Did anyone else see that????
Later Gator.
storm looks like it is weakening some, the closer it gets to the nest
I hope also that Lib or Belle feeds Palmer this evening...If they don't she'll be a goner tomorrow. I hope it is a juicy FISH and not turtle or squirrel!
No, Jo, didn't get anything this time around, either.
There went a feather floating over the edge!
Hi,
Blogger cop can't count today! I had some trouble finding you all.
Also had some cam problems. I finally got to see Palmer after three tries. Like Judie, I was getting a pale screen.
Okay, do lemonade and Oreos increase brain power?
I gave Oreos to my block 3 class, and they really surprised me on the exam. Not all grades were passing, but the ones that weren't were better than I expected them to be. One boy who had been bugging me to death, and who did not have many points to spare, made an A-, the highest grade in the class.
I tried to enter the grades into the computer, but the program will not accept exam grades yet. I sent off an e-mail to the tech person. I want to put them in and see what turns up.
One of my favorite shows that had disappeared is back this evening with new episode: Flashpoint; Miami Medical is new, too, even tho' it's not that great a show and won't be around next season.
Think I will take a nap......I can tape Jeopardy and spelling bee, and then watch shows.
BBL.
Wow, Shirley....that sounds suspicious!!!! Hopefully, he just decided to apply himself! Oreos and lemonade? Sounds like a terrible combo!!! Bye.
yes, Lynn, saw that, love that show, and I also started to enjoy Miami Medical.
Lynn, great minds, I thought the same thing;)
new pic on BWO site....
06/04/10:
In this afternoon photo it appears our youngest chick is still active. We hope it can keep up with its bigger siblings.
Miama Medical isn't toooooo bad - we have started to watch it.
Almost time for someone to go and throw a salmon or a flounder up into the nest!
Hope all is okay with Lib & Belle..
A big yawn from Palmer.......
Palmer looks sad. Must think Mom and Dad have forgotten about her. Okay, So I'm the one that's thinking that way.
Yepper! We do it to ourselves! lol
It isn't going to hurt Palmer in any physical way if she doesn't eat for a day. It only hurts in my heart for her.
My live feed has been running
5 hrs 25 min 6 secs.... Whoppee
its not the best medical show I have seen Jo, but I was starting to like some of the charecters:(
Drinking a half cup coffee since it is getting late.
BBILW
"Who the hell steals a birdhouse??"
I'm quoting Will here.
When I got home this afternoon, the birdhouse had disappeared, pole and all. Will went back behind the trees and found it planted there, but the base of the pole was missing. We took the base from the feeder and moved the birdhouse closer to our house.
I hope the parents will find it. There were little chirps from way down in the grasses. I opened the house up and looked, but I could not see anything because there is so much nesting material in there. We will have to watch and see if the parents show up. I thought some birds might have been fussing at us while we were moving the house. I hope so. The birdhouse is closer to our house and much higher because Will used some of the pole sections from the feeder.
Also found half of a blue egg in the middle of the yard--not near the birdhouse.
Will has been saying that he thinks cardinals are in the birdhouse.
We have been seeing lots of kids cutting through our yard. I do not want to be un-neighborly, but I wish I had a fence.
Hello to everyone. Tried to catch up on some of Palmer's actions. Looks like I missed some heart throbbing action by Palmer today.
Isn't she just the prettiest eagletess you ever saw?
Hi all! Took the boys swimming, now I feel all relaxed. Gotta start supper soon.
Have seen the latest on Hope. Sounds good but still fearful for a little cub.
Have news about Annie. Jack took her back to the vet. The doctor had to search but found a badly infected pad on her right front paw. He lanced and drained it. Jack said it was amazing the gunk that came out. Hope that is not TMI. Anyway, she is now on two antibiotics, pain meds, and a med to soak her paw once a day. More fun! Anyway, she is already acting much better, more like Annie. When Jack took her she was in the back corner of my closet. Not Annie like. Now she is in on Joseph's bed. I think she may be a little "happy" from the pain meds. LOL That is okay. She is out, not hiding, and is talking and wanting attention. Yes! This is my Annie.
Shirley, I agree with Will. Who in hell would steal a birdhouse??? What a rotten thing to do. I hope you catch the *&#$#&* !!
Palmer is so hungry she is eating sticks. :(
L.I.B. (Well, I'll be)
It is something what kids will do when you aren't watching.
That's like the people that let their doggies doo doo in my yard and don't clean up. I will catch them one of these days.
I trust the birds will be A OK.
Hurray for Annie's keepers to love her soooooo much to take the extra time and return her to the vet!
That is great Lolly and Jack!
I can cross Annie off of the
"Worry List" WHoo HOo!
I believe Annie will be just fine because she is loved.
OH LOLLY, I so happy you found out what is wrong with Annie. I have been so worried for you and Annie.
Enjoy your dinner ((hug-smile))
OK. Palmer, it's time to do some wing things. Show us your talents.
I noticed that the loon lost one of her eggs into the water and Larry quickly retrieved it and set it back.
So happy you found out what's ailing Annie.
Watching the National Spelling Bee.
One of my students, who is all of 16 or 17 said, "My son will never be in the National Spelling Bee. I want him to have a life." He went on to say that if he has a daughter, it's okay if she wants to be in the spelling bee. Lord, does that kid have a few things to learn. (No, he does not have children yet. At least, I would be very surprised if he did.)
Question is whether or not it is
still a "Good Egg"
Time will tell. But Larry said he didn't know what happened. Would the loons ditch it if it were not good?
I really wish real hard that I could hear the wings of an incoming parent to the nest!
BEagle - I really think that it rolled off on its own or when one of them got off the nest. When the nesting loon would roll those eggs so close to the edge - we all held
our breath more than once.
Shirley - sometimes you wonder if a young kid really has thought out certain situations before he speaks to them.
I second that Mema Jo. I hope the parents are okay. At 4:13 I heard them (one) near the mic. during the storm.
So much for a nap.
Telemarketing calls. 4-wheelers and motorbikes roaring outside. ARGH.
IWS on FB:
The blood results are back for the first four eagle chicks banded this season. A-67 (Trap Canyon) on Santa Rosa is a male, K-05 (Seal Rocks) on Catalina is a female, and at Two Harbors K-04 is a female and K-06 is a male.
Oh my - Spidey is starting his web and the darkness is coming so you really can't make out anything in the nest.
Soon we will need to pray Palmer gets some breakfast because it doesn't look like a snack is coming before bedtime........
Spidey is already at work. ugh!!
So far, Lynn the count for male and female is even steven
Well Deb - when I can't see inside that nest anymore - I'm saying a
prayer and taking a break!
Lolly, I suspected as much about Annie when you said she was limping. So glad that Jack took her in today!
I thought the egg rolled into the water when the loons were frightened by the swans. Did I misread??
Shirley, you need a cam on your birdhouse to catch a thief!!!! What a rotten thing to do.
Evening, all!
Does anyone else's live feed picture look bigger?
Looks like they updated the feed player!
Time to turn off cam....Boris is ruining perfect viewing.
I was thinking the same thing Mema Jo. I just keep watching with hope that they will bring something any minute.
Ah, think they banded both TH chicks as females!
Larry saw ...3 huge white pelicans swimming near the nest and I look up at the tv just after the loon has gotten off the nest and SEE ONLY ONE EGG!!!
I thought there was some improvement in the cam scene. Must have upgraded. The live feed hasn't shown me "Are You Watching" and it's at 2:02 right now.
Palmer is at 2:00 on the edge looking outward. Spending a lot of
time preening those downy white feathers.
Looking now to see if Palmer will practice flapping.
Palmer calling out!
Beagle - the cam was down this morning hours - then when I brought it up I noticed the timer was different. As of now the live feed has been running for
6 hrs 33 minutes and 37 seconds
I love it and as I have said
I sure hope it is intentional......
Lolly, glad you found out what was wrong with Annie!
Palmer is standing down in the nest at the 2:00 position.....
Man, what a wing spread on Palmer.
That sure wasn't for long
She is Flapping all around again..
Be-e-e-utiful! What a spread and aren't those winds pretty!
I sure hope that Spidey's web catches her and keeps her from going over the edge!
Oops. The WINGS are pretty.
Thought for sure an adult was coming in...must not have had any food!
Go Palmer Go. Flap.
Outdoor did tell me awhile back that they had an improved player in the works....glad they got it up and running...looks great.
Someone stole Shirley's birdhouse? What a shame.
Six more comments and we will
SPLIT at 400 count.....
I am trying to say that it would be great to have a
Late Evening Thread
We got 2 small showers here tonight, one before I got home, and one while I was at Lowes.
To answer your question, Paula. My live feed picture is bigger.
Others have said that, Paula. Mine is not any bigger, but the border around the bottom control panel is gone, so maybe that makes it look bigger?!?
The best part is that the cam is running comtinuously. No refresh needed; no pausing, etc. Hour after hour after hour!!
