Merry Christmas everyone Thanks for the new thread Steve. I hope you are feeling better.

Costume Lady said...

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU, STEVE AND A SPECIAL GREETING TO YOU, GLO AND DEX♥

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks for the new Christmas Thread.

Hi Glo and Dex ( :

The snow has melted in our eagles nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Dana, the Windows on Wildlife forum is where they moved the Maine forum;

hedgie said...

Andy, birthday greetings to your Jen! What a wonderful day to be born!!

hedgie said...

Snow has but stopped....just a few lazy flakes floating down. Cloudy, which I like so that lights on tree look pretty!! And NO WIND!!!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Break time!

Eagle at BWE

BEagle said...

Hi Eagle Folks.

We have a White Christmas, the cars outside are covered with snow.

BEagle said...

I see an eagle on the BWO nest and also on the Victoria nest.

BEagle said...

It takes a while to actually get to the nest cams because I have to wait for the Swiffer lady with her yellow duster to finish.

BEagle said...

The thought just occurred to me... after looking at the BWE nest. It seems like those eagles are not visiting their own nest.

This gives me the hope that Belle & Lib are probably doing the same....visiting somewhere else at the moment, and will show up when they feel like it.

How does that sound?

BEagle said...

Off to do some vooking.

Later.

BEagle said...

Two eagles on the TH nest. Two, now, at the Victoria nest. Still one at the BWO nest.

BEagle said...

I have not seen an eagle at the Pelican Harbor nest either. But there is some fresh greenery stuffed on the edges of their nest.

BEagle said...

Back to vook.

Lynne2 said...

BEagle, what makes you think the BWE eagles are not visiting their own nest?

Hey, maybe we could hook up Ed and Swiffer Lady and they'll live happily ever after!

Lynne2 said...

OK, I have to tell you what happened last night.

I was on the phone with my Step Mom and I was icing a cake at the same time. She was in the middle of talking and I felt this THING on the back of my neck. I swiped it with my hand and OMG.....it was a STINKBUG, and it landed right in the middle of the cake. SO, I am mortified, and I want to scream and I can't because I don't want to give my Step Mom a heart attack! So I took a spoon and removed the offender and the icing in the general area and went on with my conversation. I was mortified! Then Steve came downstairs a few minutes later and I told him what happened and he LAUGHED! I did NOT see the humor at all!

NatureNut said...

A VERY MERRY XMAS TO EVERYONE!!!!

BEagle said...

Hi Lynne2. I did not have to read the rest of your post to know what happened with the Stinko Buggo.

Can't you cut and paste on the cake?

Lynne2 said...

Oh, I did! Cake saved, Stinkbug...not so much!

BEagle said...

Thank you NN

BEagle said...

Lynne great you saved the cake. If it were me I would be tempted to throw the whole thing away. But my son or anyone in my family would say it's okay and just cut away the SB part and not think another thing about it.

BEagle said...

I have seen the eagles on the BWE nest but not so much lately. The cam was down there too.

paula eagleholic said...

BEagle, I saw them on the nest yesterday for awhile, they had brought food :)

Lynne, I went to dig out the silver chest from under my bed, and drug out a stink bug!

Family should be here soon.

BEagle said...

It does look like something was added to the BWE nest when I checked just now.

Oh well. Trying not to be disappointed can be hard work.

hedgie said...

Hi, BEagle. I saw the BWE pair on their own nest yesterday a few times. We were remarking about the difference in the cam--looks further away than the old one. Will make it impossible to see any pips in an egg.

Lynne, I KNEW what you were going to say, too, about the cake! I'm sure Steve is especially glad you didn't throw it out!!!! The cake, that is!

Paula, I was sure that when I got the Christmas rugs out from under my bed there would be some in them....but NOT!!!! Whew!

paula eagleholic said...

That might be the best stink bug escapade yet, Lynne!

Maybe she'll check in later... if she survives my rib roast.

With my warmest,

DARTH [Chief VOOK and Bottle Washer]

paula eagleholic said...

Michael will come down tomorrow if the snow isn't back...have seen forecasts from an inch to 5 inches. Told him we would have to play it by ear!

Lynne2 said...

well, I worked so hard on that cake, too....carefully opening the box, blending it with expertise, and the icing....whew, getting that icing out of the can was not so easy!! I couldn't just trash such a masterpiece!

BEagle said...

My stomach hurts......


from laughing so hard!!!



Thank you Darth!!!!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Good ones, Darth! Good luck with the Rib Roast!

paula eagleholic said...

Waiting for the kids to get here and dinner to cook! My roast is running late, but that's OK cause so are the kids, LOL

BEagle said...

Two eagels on the BWE nest.

BEagle said...

Now one eagle on the BWE

Lynne2 said...

Blizzard warnings for NYC, Long Island, N. Jersey and Connecticut.

Weather watches, warnings

Oh my Darth....LOL! Merry Christmas to you both and good luck vooking the roast!

PA Nana said...

Merry Christmas everyone!

hedgie said...

Darth, you are sure a bright spot!! ROFL here!!! Thanks for checking in, and hugs to you and Judie! I'm sure that your roast will turn out beautifully! Such a talented vook can't miss!!! You do realize that vooking is your new job, from here on out, right??!!! Enjoy your meal!!!

Paula, late is okay as long you eat before the evening is out!!!

I have the crab dip in the oven, the shrimp is thawing, and Christie should be leaving her dad's as I type, so will be here in 15 min.

So I will c heck in with all you lovely friends later this evening!!

BEagle said...

Here is what is says under the OD cam and is written under the subtitle of Eaglecam.

"The nest has been active for five seasons, fledging several juvenile bald eagles. The eagles return to the nest for the winter season around mid-January, with eggs being laid in early February."

PA Nana said...

HO HO HO Darth! Thanks!

Mema Jo said...

I think it is safe for me to say that it has been a very Merry Christmas. The last gift has been given but there are still lots of cookies to be eaten.

Darth, thanks for my Christmas Day Cheer! Tell Judie that I miss her
immensely and pray for her return! I hope your dinner turns out spectacular!

Mema Jo said...


Lion upon Lions upon Lions

Lynne2 said...

cool how the precip falling at BWO looks on the cam pics!

stronghunter said...

It has been a merry Christmas here, too. Hunter has gone to Luray with his dad. It has started snowing here, and all of the children have gone back to their homes. Kathryn and I were watching, get this . . . Dog the Bounty Hunter. I think it's some auction show now.

Lynne2 said...

ah yes, Dog the Bounty Hunter. One of my favorite Christmas series. LOL!

Mema Jo said...

Shirley, you and Kathryn need a good Christmas movie!

stronghunter said...

They were hunting Santa this time, Lynne, so it was a Christmas special.

Kathryn and Hunter have changed the television viewing habits in this house.

paula eagleholic said...

Presents were given, dinner was consumed, dishes are done, company is gone, dogs are chillin', I'm grabbing a drink and watching a movie, I'm beat!

BBL

stronghunter said...

Now she is watching Storage Wars. Another fine show. Don't ask. I don't know.

Lynne2 said...

uh oh, not a good sign when the DOG is chasing Santa!

Mema Jo said...

Paula, it is a good 'beat' feeling!

Mema Jo said...

Taking a break

BBILW

stronghunter said...

Tom and Hunter are almost to Luray. He said they got out of the snow soon after they left here. Luray is supposed to get snow, but we are expected to get more. I suppose this will be classified as a white Christmas.

stronghunter said...

It was okay. He had his grandchildren along.

stronghunter said...

Little kids.

stronghunter said...

They found Santa. I don't know much more.

stronghunter said...

Enjoyed Darth's riddles. So did Hunter.

Lynne2 said...

Shirley, I just wanted to say that I've had Hunter and Kathryn on my mind this Holiday season...I am sure that Christmas for them was a bit difficult this year.

Mema Jo said...

Watching a repeat on one of Tom Selleck's movies as Jesse Stone.

BBILW

Lynne2 said...

oh my. Steve has found a show on how toilet paper is made. I have really taken this convenience for granted.

stronghunter said...

Tough on Kathryn, Lynne. She is going to go to Luray tomorrow. She wanted to give Tom some time alone with Hunter and his family. I may go with her, just so she does not have to be alone, especially with the weather being what it is.

I think Hunter is okay, but you never know what a child might be thinking. I am glad I could be here for them.

stronghunter said...

About to go upstairs for the evening. It was a busy day.

stronghunter said...

Tom commented that he did not really want Kathryn to have to go alone, and she told him I might join her. I'd rather not be a complete surprise, so I am glad she told him.

magpie said...

Merry Christmas Evening, Eagle Friends.

I just finished watching Scrooge, 1951 classic from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens...
been waiting to see this again for a loooong time

Sounds like many warm and happy times were had today....hope everyone found a portion of happiness and fellowship, peace and joy

And I bet there was some special kinds of holiday feasting goin' on !


Wonderful post from Darth....

Thanks to everyone for all the Christmas greetings, and Happy Birthday to your Jen, Andrea...

Going to do one of my favorite things: A little reading before bed ♥

Thinking of all our precious ones not with us at Christmas time

God Bless Us, Every One
xo ♥

Lynne2 said...

Oh, that's so nice of you to go with her Shirley. Tough situation...I know you said you care for Tom, too having been family for so long. Wish things could be different....

magpie said...

broken families face many difficult challenges during the holiday period

takes awhile for new traditions to be made...always helps when the principal parties have big hearts and caring intentions

God Bless All dealing with these situations....

Good Night.....

paula eagleholic said...

Jo, it's definitely a good tired! Feels so good to lay down for awhile, didn't realize I'd been on my feet all day!

I'm hoping Michael will stay in NJ, I really don't want him driving in this weather we are expecting...not as bad here as east of us, they are calling for 3-5 here, and up to 10" east of I95.

I am watching Dances with Wolves...a favorite...

paula eagleholic said...

Margy, hope you are off tomorrow and can enjoy some holiday happenings!

paula eagleholic said...

If couples can put the kids before themselves, then it can be an OK situation.

Lynne2 said...

oh Paula, I hope he stays put, too. Going to be very bad, I'm afraid.

I still hope it goes away! I can't shovel at all, and Steve is really too sick to be out there. Too many people traveling tomorrow, too.

Lynne2 said...

Margy, I'm so glad you got to enjoy your Christmas Carol movie!

paula eagleholic said...

Lynne, so sorry Steve isn't feeling well.

Lynne2 said...

he's got a really runny nose and cough, but not as bad as I was, at least so far! I have sort of bossed him around about resting this weekend so it hopefully won't get worse.

Bob Quinn said...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Lynne2 said...

Merry Christmas Bob!

paula eagleholic said...

Merry Christmas, Bob! How is Mrs. Bob?

Bob Quinn said...

Sarah is great. Thanks for asking.

Bob Quinn said...

No new photos to share for Christmas but I did throw together a quick favorites gallery:

Favorites

Bob Quinn said...

Off to do the dishes. Will check back in if anyone is still awake.

paula eagleholic said...

Nice slideshow, Bob. Haven't seen some of those before.

Michael is headed home tonight, so I'll see him in the morning, I'm sure I'll be asleep when he gets here. He should be OK coming down tonight, but the drive back on Monday will not be fun.

Mema Jo said...

TV Show is over and as it was ending I realized that it was going to have one of those unfinished non-conclusion endings...... It was good.

Just found an Am Girl doll in the toy room. Alexis brought her doll with her and then when she got a new one here she must have gotten real involved with the new one. I am sure I will hear from her tomorrow.

Mema Jo said...

Aaron & Val were up in NJ today at her
grandparents... Headed back also this evening and maybe even home by now.
Little worried about kids' plans on driving down to Ft Bragg NC on Monday in order to get their housing. I'm sure they'll use good judgment.

Hi Bob - going to check out your collection.

Costume Lady said...

I guess I'd better check in, now that all the vooking and vaking is done. Food has been eaten, and eaten, and eaten. The biggest hit of our meal was Gene's pepperoni rolls and the country ham. Too much food! Karla brought steamed shrimp, raw oysters, spinach dip/Hawaiian bread, all sitting on the kitchen table. In the dining room was my turkey, mac and cheese and dressing, veggie medley. After sitting in the kitchen and family room and having cocktails, chatting endlessly and nibbling food from the table, NO ONE HAD ROOM LEFT FOR THE FOOD ON THE DINING ROOM TABLE! Sent leftovers home with the kids, some for GG and some for the vooks:)
Jayden was with his parents and other grandmother, so my dearest Christmas wish did not come to pass:(
It was a wonderful day, beginning with that beautiful, yet harmless snow this morning and ended with GG giving everyone a sweet hug and kiss and telling them how glad she was that they came. She was in really good spirits and ate well, too.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, ONE MORE TIME♥

hedgie said...

Good late Christmas evening.
Christie just left......no slumber party after all. But she HAS been up since 4:30, so she is awfully tired. And with the iffy weather forecast, better for her to be at home just in case.....better that they come in the truck tomorrow than she try to go home in snow in her Grand Am.
Need to catch up with you all!

Costume Lady said...

THANKS, BOB, FOR THAT CHRISTMAS TREAT AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND MRS. BOB:)

Mema Jo said...

Bob I just enjoyed a slide show and all of your photos have beauty. Now I would guess that the Motorcycle Lady is Sarah. And are all of the cats yours. I remember 2 before but I think you have added some.

paula eagleholic said...

Going to turn in for today, Have a good evening and sleep well my friends!

Hugs to all ♥

hedgie said...

Bob, Merry Christmas to you, too. Thanks for the pics---a very nice gift for us!

Sounds like everyone has had a wonderful day! So many goodies, and surrounded by your families.
Paula, hoping that Michael arrives safely...don't blame him for wanting to make it home to Ma before the weather gets too bad.

Shirley, you all be very careful tomorrow.

Mema Jo said...

Leave the lights on for Michael, Paula.


Headed back the hallway...
Good Night All
Prayers for All especially for those traveling today and tomorrow..
Hugs for All ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

hedgie said...

BEagle, our eagles don't migrate, so it's not a matter of them "returning" per se. They stay here year round.

hedgie said...

I, too, am fading fast! Mai is one pooped pup, too. Heading for tub as soon as weather report is over.....hopefully we will be spared the brunt of the storm, but not sounding real good for eastern parts.
Goodnight, and a final Merry Christmas. Hate that it is almost over. Happy Birthday, Jesus.

Lolly said...

I guess everyone has turned in. They have all gone to bed here except Jack and myself. We are enjoying the peace and quiet. LOL Have been up since about 6:15when Zach came storming out of the study announcing he had to go to the potty fast. LOL However, he went back to bed as his parents had told him not to get up until the digital clock said 6:45. And, he obeyed. But, of course after taking him to the potty I was wide awake.

We had a great day. Really a very special day as we are not all together at Christmas every year, only every other year.

Have not read back on the blog so I do hope all are well and have had a beautiful Christmas.

Costume Lady said...

I almost forgot to tell you that my Jillian and her medic saved an elderly ladies life this morning.
They were called to her residence and she was either dead when they got there, or shortly after. The two of them brought her back and transported her to the hospital. Jillian had her PJ bottoms on and didn't even think of changing, so when she was in the hospital, more than a few of the workers there made fun of her. She told them, "Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do!"

GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
THANKS GIVEN FOR A WONDERFUL DAY

Lolly said...

That is fantastic, Wanda. Know you are really proud of her. Well, Jack has not gone to bed but Laurel is here. Thought she had gone to bed but she only bathed and is sitting here reading.

My turn to head to the shower. Nite all! Sweet dreams.

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Everyone!

Checking in late. You'll never guess~~it's raining again here in SoCal! Last time I looked outside was at dusk, and it was dry outside then. Must have started in the last couple of hours. They said rain was a 20% possibility tonight through Sunday morning, then it's supposed to clear up and stay that way through next Wednesday. Sure hope they are right!

Had a wonderful Christmas here. Spoke to the kids and the grandkids on the phone a few times. Our GGD Sierra (she's 4-1/2) was sleeping when we called. She's still fighting off a cold and needed some panda naps.
We also spoke to my Sis-in-law, and our friend Andrea in Nevada, who had a whole houseful of family there. She made lasagna for dinner.

Our prime rib roast turned out SOOOO yummy! The Yorkshire pudding turned out perfectly, too, and the multicolor potatoes (with butter and parsley) were perfect, as were the Brussels sprouts with butter, garlic, and pine nuts.

Have been thinking of Judie and Darth (Love your post, Darth--ROFLMBO!), and hope their rib roast turned out well, too.

Ms Bookworm said...

Lynne,
I'm glad you were able to save the day, AND the cake! Hope both you and Steve feel MUCH better by morning!
Sure hope neither one of you has to shovel snow!

Bob,
LOVE your "Favorites" photos! They are really great! Especially liked the ones of the foxes. Hope that you and yours had a wonderful Christmas!

Little Miss Emma has been a really good pup all day. She is currently asleep in her crate, and snoring the cutest little puppy snores! She has been a real dynamo of energy at times today. Wish we could find a way to bottle it and sell it--we'd be millionaires!

Well, think I am going to go put my feet up and attempt to watch all of "A Christmas Carol." I love that one too, Margy! Have about 4 different versions on tape or DVD.
I am making sure that the night light, porch light, and Christmas lights are lit. The eye-scanner security and Dana's thumbprint-scanner security are both enabled. Prayers for everyone, and many prayers of thanks have been said. Sleep cozy and warm with sweet dreams, everyone, and I'll talk to you tomorrow. God bless, and goodnight! Love every single one of you! :o]

Hmmmmm......just heard the sports report: the CARDINALS ruled yesterday......hoe 'bout THEM birds?? WhooHoo!

hedgie said...

Make that HOW 'bout them birds!

hedgie said...

Looked like some HP action! Came back to the tail-end of that action!!

magpie said...

one left then returned think it was Belle....

stick arrival...And Beaking !!
Oh this is glorious beyond description !

hedgie said...

Looks like breakfast time....but someone is blocking view of the catch!

wvgal_dana said...

MIRACLE OF PRAYERS LIBERTY AND BELLE HAVE COME HOME.

Belle flew out then came back with a stick.

They both tried placing the stick. One on one end of stick and the other having same stick in beak.

wvgal_dana said...

I believe that was Liberty that just flew out of nest. Belle still there.

hedgie said...

So guess they are bickering over stick placement rather than eating since you saw the stick come in, Margy!

hedgie said...

And one gone....

hedgie said...

I almost fell off the chair, too, Margy. Did not really expect to see anything but an MT nest when I brought up cam!!!!!

hedgie said...

Another stick!

wvgal_dana said...

What a WONDERFUL MORNING this is.

Good Morning Hedgie-today is Christmas for you!!!!

Good Morning Margy your a sweet heart!!

WE ALL WILL HAVE CHRISTMAS TODAY!! This is OUR CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!

hedgie said...

Definite nestorations happening!! Building up the side walls

WAKE UP EVERYBODY!!!!!! YOU ARE MISSING GOOD ACTION!

hedgie said...

When the new cam went on air, Outdoor TV posted this: We have a new camera and location for the 2011 nesting season. Bookmark this page and so you can easily access it when the eagles return in 2011.

I wrote them and asked that they clarify that it is a new Cam placement, NOT a new nest location....and that the eagles had never left.......obviously they have NOT, since same text is still there.

hedgie said...

Hi, Dana. Yep, my Christmas today has started with a very special gift!!!!!

Costume Lady said...

OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!

magpie said...

You can see the wind blowing their feathers.......they seem to be contemplating the cold

Costume Lady said...

THANK YOU DANA, I had just turned the 'puter on to have a look, when you called. Oh, we are happy campers today!!

hedgie said...

BWO was MT when I looked a little while ago....I actually looked there FIRST to see if there was snow yet! LOL---shame on me! Should have had enough faith to look at ours first!

We locals sure got the gift this morning!

Hi, Wanda!!! Glad you got to see our pair, too.

FuzzleMT said...

PRAISE GOD!!!
Even before coffee, I opened the nest only to find the usual and WHAT IS THAT?? SOMEONE ON BLOG SPEAKING OF EAGLE SIGHTING??????? Don't even know who yet - CELEBRATE . . . CELEBRATE!!!
I burst into tears - oh, I can wait to see them now as long as they are HOME!!!!!!!!!!

hedgie said...

I am nursing a fat lip this morning....Mai got me! Kiss turned into a nip.......yikes! She drew blood again, but this was first time on my face!!

magpie said...

Hi FuzzleMa Irene...

hedgie said...

Irene, they'll be back!!!!!!
Our fears have been banished.......old nest is still Home Sweet Home!!

stronghunter said...

Yay! Reading about an eagle sighting!

Must read on . . .

FuzzleMT said...

I slept in a little this a.m. or I might have seen them too! OH WHAT A SHOCK that would have been - you girls are SO lucky!! Magpie: "falling off the chair" uh - huh that would have been me!!!!

floralgirl said...

OOh, glad you saw the eagles in the nest.
Some words here from Margy, about halfway into the article.
Journal article

FuzzleMT said...

Margy: I just realized you gave me the blueprint of your names - silly me! I wrote them down. OH, wait until the other ladies get on - they are going to be so HAPPY!!

magpie said...

My heart was racing, Irene and my fingers were all akimbo!

funny the habits we have, I brushed teeth and washed face, then punched the on button on coffee pot then came to the nest cam !

I put two sets of pics on Magpie's Roost link....newer set shows up first, then the first one.......

I am out of practice !

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Irene, Megan and Shirley.

Just finished adding picture to album. I was shaking so excited!!

magpie said...

Oh it takes awhile to get all our monikers and real names matched up, Irene...


Thanks Lynn.....I had a good talk with John....premiere journalist, he.....

wvgal_dana said...

Pictures should come out through yahoo Momster mail Margy.

magpie said...

Oh Whoops! Sorry Megan
I mean thank YOU for the link to Journal article....

FuzzleMT said...

OH THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
Margy, it had to take you 5 minutes to find your fingers on the keyboard - I can understand that!

magpie said...

believe me I magpie-ed a lot more than he wrote....

Lynne2 said...

WOOO HOOOO YIPPEEEEEE WOWOWWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!! OOOOOOOOOO WOOO HOOOO

magpie said...

I wanted to make a lot of phone calls but early morning telephone rings can be so frightening....

You came to mind, immediately Megan because I know you are an early riser ♥

magpie said...

Steve has received the good news !!!

Thanks again for that Cam, Steve !!

floralgirl said...

Yeah, I generally don't like early or late phone calls, always bad news in my experience. I just missed the nest visit, cause I had walked outside to feed my birds.

magpie said...

Now here's your next morning treat:

NEW SUNDAY THREAD IS UP !

Costume Lady said...

I put the last two photos on WILD AND WONDERFUL before they flew off:)

stronghunter said...

I hear Kathryn upstairs showering. She said she wanted to leave about 9:00 this morning, so I had better head upstairs and get dressed.

I will check back later.

I see there is not much more snow on the ground than there was last night, just a light covering--a bit more than a dusting, I guess. Some on the street, though. But I think we have more here than they do west of here.

If I don't get back before tonight, you all keep a watch over the eagles for me.

stronghunter said...

Going over to the
