eagle calls

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I am hearing an eagle/eaglet call this morning. Just woke me up.

kickngbird said...

Little touch of insomnia so I came to my computer. Heard what I thought was a talon scratching an itch but didn't want to type that one because it's a very subtle thing. Then the very definite sound of eagle calling out 2 or 3 times - I was too excited and trying to log in my password to be able to count at the same time I was typing, but it was more than one call.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Nobody in the nest though. Going back to bed. Good morning kickingbird.

kickngbird said...

I'm more inclined to say it was an eagle call because I've never heard that kind of sound come out of Palmer.

kickngbird said...

Good morning Sharon!

kickngbird said...

I'm heading back to bed too. But I'm hoping this means Palmer is either in or near the nesting tree.

It sounds like it's getting windy and maybe there's rain on the way - one of the parents could be alerting Palmer that it's time to get ready because perching in the rain is different than plotzing in the nest in the rain.

I have no idea what I'm talking about, but I like to comfort myself with these ideas that good things are going on with our little family. Especially as I'm going back to bed. :)

kickngbird said...

Oh wait, there's the eagle call again - 3 times.

kickngbird said...

I keep trying to tear myself away but I can't.

stronghunter said...

Heard the call just barely.

Good morning!

kickngbird said...

Sheesh - I REALLY need my beauty sleep.

stronghunter said...

This is to be my last day at work. I have bridge tonight. I am hoping to finish everything today so I do not have to go in tomorrow. I still have a lot to do, but some of it involves my dual enrollment students and work I can complete at home.

stronghunter said...

Trying to get an early start this morning.

kickngbird said...

Good morning! Welcome to the Late, Late, Late Show. All sound, with Spidey test pattern

stronghunter said...

I see no sign of an eagle in the nest, but it is dark and webby.

stronghunter said...

Or, the early, early, early show. Almost 5:00 AM here.

kickngbird said...

It's 3:45 where I live, and I really am going back to bed this time. Really. This time I mean it. As long as I don't hear any more sounds from the nest.

Hope you can finish everything so this can be your last day! Good luck with that, and with bridge!

Nighty night now, for real this time! :)

stronghunter said...

Much to do here today. I have to figure out how to combine my grade with the grade from another teacher two students had fall semester. Have to talk to the computer just right.

More research papers to grade.

Room to clean up for the summer.

Grade reports to turn in.


Goodness knows what else will pop up!

But right now, I have George at my side. In fact, he is so close I am having trouble operating my mouse.



Heard the rustle of what sounded like eagle feathers or something like that.

stronghunter said...

Oh yes, at last count, three surveys to complete. That seems to be the latest thing. They keep sending surveys. Computers do lots of work for us, but they give us more work to do in return.

stronghunter said...

I hear my radio come on. I am supposed to be waking up now.

stronghunter said...

"Radio coming on," that is.

Quiet now at the nest, but I am sure I heard one of the eagles land somewhere nearby.

stronghunter said...

Yes, I think what I heard awhile ago was one of the adult eagles, KB.

stronghunter said...

More birdies are singing in the nest area now. Morning is about to break.

stronghunter said...

Now I hear birds outside my window. A mockingbird, I think.

stronghunter said...

I think KB is really gone now. Sleep well! I hope you can sleep in today.

stronghunter said...

Spidey making his/her rounds. Maybe getting ready to shut down for the day.

stronghunter said...

Need to go shower and get ready for the day myself.

stronghunter said...

More eagle sounds.

stronghunter said...

Just read the latest update from the dual enrollment person. Information on how to write a syllabus for next fall. The cycle just keeps on cycling. I am not quite ready to think about fall classes. I still do not know if I will have my dual enrollment class in the fall or the spring.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Just heard the eagle call again but still no eagle/eaglet in tht nest. Back to bed now.

stronghunter said...

Sky is getting light here. I must get on with my day. Things to do.

stronghunter said...

Raining at the nest. Some rain here as well.

movin said...



***********

Good Ni ... Morning

***********

I'm about to shut down. There's no Palmer or adult in the nest.

I can hear wind, possibly rain drips ... two or three kinds of song birds. But nothing right now I can ID as an eagle.

The rain is coming down definitely now. Getting louder and louder. Might be hail bouncing off the black tape and tree trunk...not sure.

I AM going to shut down now, so good night.

C(°Ù¿°)D Jim

stronghunter said...

Good night, Jim. Very late for you there. Rest well.

stronghunter said...

Getting ready to head out to work.

stronghunter said...

Hope to see Palmer later today.

Plenty of evidence that eagles are nearby.

magpie said...

Happy last busy day, Shirley.... - I probably just missed you, was reading about the Eagle sounds
that bridge game will be most welcome tonight
hope all goes well
yes, raining, no hail at the nest

Good Morning Eagle ♀'s and ♂'s
best wishes for a good day

magpie said...

towhee and a circular saw sounds at the nest

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Will today be the day that our Palmer checks in. I am so wanting to see hear or read that on here. Maybe its time for another local to make a trip over near there and see who they might see.

magpie said...

Drink your tea
(towhee)
reminds me of Ceil
she talks of a cup of tea....
Good Morning Glo....and Dex !

Lynne2 said...

Good Morning early birds! Looks like many of us will be in for some pretty bad weather today so stay safe and remember...LIGHTING KILLS

K'bird, LOL! Love yours and Shirley's posts this morning....
Happy LAST DAY OF SCHOOL Shirely! And I hope you got back to sleep K'bird!

Glo, hope it's today! Like to have her back at the nest before these storms roll in...

Margy, I heard my towhee this morning while out with the dogs...first time in a week or so!

Heading out now....BB this afternoon!

stronghunter said...

At my desk in my classroom now. Gotta get busy. Will listen to bird songs and maybe eagles.

stronghunter said...

Just got this from a friend . . .

Comet McNaught (C/2009 R1) is gliding through the inner solar system, due to approach our planet only 100 million miles away on June 15th and 16th. The approaching comet looks great in small telescopes, and may yet become a naked-eye object before the end of the month. Because this is Comet McNaught's first visit, predictions of future brightness are necessarily uncertain; amateur astronomers should be alert for the unexpected.

little knock knock knock on wood


a crow and a pileated woodpecker sounds

PammySue said...

Mema Jo, I have been on prednisone after some surgeries, and it was not fun. I would not be able to sleep for a couple of days and I ate everything in sight. :(

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

There is definitely something near the camera, moving it a little bit.

PammySue said...

I hear a woodpecker . .

PammySue said...

Did you hear that???

Judie said...

Good morning, everyone.

Oh my goodness. Reading back only to find that people are smelling both ends, feeling all over, and there is concern about mold, mildew, ticks, a split and a plug. I'm headed for a shower.

Wanda, I do hope the basement at GG's is cleaned quickly. Perhaps a good cleaning upstairs is all that's needed? Maybe she will stay with you if you say is just long enough to get the house cleaned up.

Diann, please take it easy with that shoulder. Give it time to heal and glad you're having the doctor check on it.

Ragdoll, enjoy your first day of freedom.

Shirley, hurry and get everything done so you can join me and Ragdoll in our joyous freedom.

Oh, Shirley, enjoy bridge night.

Still no live feed for me. Sure hope someone else is watching if/when Palmer returns.

Off for coffee and newspaper.

PammySue said...

Palmer, Palmer. Where for art thou, Palmer?

Mits said...

NEW THREAD IS UP.

magpie said...

I would like to see what is knocking at the cam....

Happy Birthday Jewell, on this new part of the split ...hope it is a super day for you xo ♥


Good Morning more Eagle People

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Where is Palmer, where is Palmer? Everyone sing with me!

magpie said...

We'll be singing on the New Thread Sharon !
Mits has called us over !
