And RAVENS tie it up with 4 left.

BEagle said...

My eagle or hawk had a squat neck. White tail eagle is too thin and brown.

Lynne2 said...

fingernails are gone. fingers to the first knuckle are gone.....sweat pouring.....

NCSuzan said...

Lynne, i am right there with you!

Lynne2 said...

this will be the longest minute of my life.

Lynne2 said...

S T E E L E R S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NCSuzan said...

Whoa! What a game.

hedgie said...

It's over. Congrats to the Steelers.....tho' neither team was outstanding in performance. Close score.

NatureNut said...

GREAT GAME!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

I emailed Steve today about the nite lite and the sound....here's his response

Paula,

The infrared is only working at certain light levels. The new camera does not have the same illumination as the last one. This means that on brighter nights, we'll get a pretty good picture. On the darkest of nights, the picture will not be good. I checked it Thursday night about ten pm and it was working pretty good. Our original plan was to keep the other cam up and active, but that cam short circuited in those weeks before we went up to install the new cam. That would have given us the additional illumination. This is the unfortunate reality for this year as the only solution is to install additional illumination and we cannot do that until the summer.

He wasn't sure what was going on with the sound.

hedgie said...

Doubt that either of them are good enough to advance any further than this week.

paula eagleholic said...

Sounds like it was a good game...I missed it all! Went shopping at Lowes and Home Depot...looking for ideas for beach house.

Haven't had much of an appetite, been fighting a cold this week. Pooped out last night, but feel better today.

Wanted to cook kielbasa and potato pancakes....had to run back out for the kielbasa...almost ready...yum!

Costume Lady said...

Well, now, where is Ms. DANA, the blog's biggest Steeler fan?
Sorry you lost your nails Lynne:)

LYNN, Capt. Gene has a very painful stiff neck. I'm going to give hime a massage, then, should I put heat or cold on it?

paula eagleholic said...

Shirley, so glad you got to talk to Susan last night.

Costume Lady said...

Paula, sounds like you have a lot of fun coming your way! Should be one of the most interesting projects you have undertaken!

paula eagleholic said...

BEagle, might have been a juvie...their coloring is different on many hawks.

Costume Lady said...

Wonder if they would let Susan come home if she does have the Swine Flu? Hope that is not the case! Bless her heart, what a way for her trip to turn out:(
She'll be so happy to see her Mommy!

paula eagleholic said...

Lynn, glad Mai will get to meet other pups!

NatureNut said...

OMG, another game!And Fubby says 2 tommorrow!

paula eagleholic said...

Saw the second NC chick hatched....they have a FB page.

And some good visits today by our pair!

paula eagleholic said...

Wanda, I was wondering the same thing about Susan...if it's a different strain.

Lynne2 said...

Sorry Ravens fans. I know how disappointed I'd be if it had gone the other way! You're right Lynn, neither of them played so well.

Lolly said...

Well, I would worry about Susan flying with her ears infected. Ouch, that would hurt.

Paula, thanks for the info from Steve. Guess it is what it is!

Lynne2 said...

Hope you can kick you cold fast Paula and thanks for the info from Steve. That explains why it got so dark when I was up in the wee wee hours the other night...the moon must have moved lower.

Shirley, I'll bet Susan can't wait to be home again! I'm so sorry that the trip turned out this way.

Wanda, does Gene have a stiff neck from watching the game? Personally, I'd try heat first.

Costume Lady said...

LOL, Lynne, no, not from watching the game he has had it for about a week...nearly went away and cam back tody. I just read on internet that massager (gentle) and ice pack is best. I would have thought heat, but not in this case. Going to tend to poor baby now;)

Lynne2 said...

Hope he feels better soon Wanda!

paula eagleholic said...

We should count how many nights we can see...Have noticed some lightening and darkening tonight...clouds, perhaps?

Lynne2 said...

I think clouds too Paula. What Steve says makes it all make sense now, what we've seen, I mean!

We had a nice visit with our friends Joan and Brian this afternoon. Joan has MS, and has been having a heck of a time with shingles for the past few months. (due to the steroids she takes for the MS). She is such a trooper. She rescues Rotties!

Lynne2 said...

she's been seeing an infectious disease specialist. I sure hope they can figure out how to help her.

stronghunter said...

I don't think Susan will be able to come home Wednesday if they confirm that it is any kind of H1N1. They seem to think that it might be something else.

She certainly does not want to be the person who brings a new strain of H1N1 into this country.

About the ears. I think both ear drums are ruptured. In that case, she does not have to worry about pain. but she needs to see a doctor when she gets home.

Lynne2 said...

Good grief, ruptured ear drums too? Oh my....prayers.

Lynne2 said...

nest looks really bright at the moment!

Lynne2 said...

must be clouds passing, darker now. I'm just glad we have a light at all!

magpie said...

Moon is pretty bright AND it is pretty cloudy, Lynne2 -
you are right !

magpie said...

thanks for the information from Steve, Paula...

regarding sound: it is intermittent for me, usually hear the clicking sound, BUT, when the eagles mated on the nest Thursday afternoon I heard some eagle chortling...☺

Lynne2 said...

now bright again....good grief I need to stop watching the empty nest! Although I'm hoping for a night visit! Hi Margy!

magpie said...

Lady Blackwater is awake, she checked the egg a few mins ago, but was not far enough off the egg cup...could only see the one, still, so far...the suspense, waiting on a second one

magpie said...

With full moon approaching, it would be a DREAM to have clear skies at night this coming week

Hi Lynne!

magpie said...

Hope your therapy works on the Captain, Wanda....

Lynne2 said...

even better if full moon and hatching happen at the same time!

Costume Lady said...

MARGY...I just go word from Karla that Jillian was awarded the honor of being ROOKIE OF THE YEAR...just as you predicted. Lord have mercy, I'm so proud. She really did work hard and long hours!

Photo of the award on my SMILES:):)
Plasticis still on it so it doesn't show up well.

Lynne2 said...

Wanda that's great news!!!

magpie said...

Well, that could happen Lolly...
have to calculate from egg laying...then the 35 days or so to hatching...

we might have to do some Full Moon dancing ☺

magpie said...

That is terrific Wanda....she and her entire family can be so proud!

Next year she will probably get one for Top Responder with the most calls.


I got Rookie of the year in 1986 at Hedgesville....

magpie said...

Well Lynne I guess meant to direct my Full Moon dancing comment to you...getting my "L's" mixed up

hedgie said...

Wanda....heat for a stiff neck!!!!

Lynne, I told Shirley earlier that flying with ruptured eardrums---which Suzi has---is okay and actually makes them feel better. However, if she is infectious with H1N1, she may not be allowed.

Thanks for that word from Steve, Paula.

Bear report

Lynne2 said...

when the moon is bright you can see in the middle of the nest just about from 6 to 12 the shadow of a branch that I saw the other night. I will now cease to obsess over the light and go take my shower.

Lynne2 said...

but how can you hear with ruptured ear drums?

magpie said...

January 19 - Full Moon
February 18 - Full Moon
March 19 - Full Moon

nice thing is the Moon will give lots of brightness before and after those "Full" dates so we might luck out! Esp with hatching if it mirrors other years

magpie said...

HI Lynn...how are the gam gashes?
sorry about the scratches from this morning

hedgie said...

Wanda, my PROFESSIONAL and personal experience is that ice makes muscle pain worse. It causes the muscle to contract more. HEAT relaxes it and eases the pain.

magpie said...

believe me I had computer neck AND shoulders after the overnight shift this morning

magpie said...

barely seeing any change from one refesh to the other at BWE -
looks like the eagle is kind of hovering but I guess she is roosted

magpie said...

Shirley
sorry to read of Susan's condition, but am happy to know you can stay in touch with her...sure she needs all the Mom Time you have been able to share ♥

magpie said...

time to start getting ready for the night shift...
wonder what tonight holds


back before leaving, later

xo

hedgie said...

Been doing research for our legislative undertaking. Whew....eyes are going crazy from reading all the legalese!!!!

Gonna go take my bath! BBL.

magpie said...

Oh, by the way it is Tomorrow January 16 at Chrissy's Roost...

Happy Birthday Chrissy !!
Hope the day holds magic and wonder that lasts the whole year through ! xo

Costume Lady said...

OK, Lynn and Lynne...heat it is...Karla's phone call stopped me from putting an ice pack on the stiff neck. Hot coals from the fireplace wrapped in foil and a towel...here we come!

hedgie said...

Oh, Margy, gashes feel ok now---bet that will change when warm water penetrates the bandaids!!!!

Hope you don't have another night like last night. Tho' I think Carolyn feels like she missed out!
She's glad to be with you again tonight.

Lynne2 said...

You are right Margy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISSY!

paula eagleholic said...

Steve's comment about the night lite confirms what I thought...the nite light is not directed...it is very diffuse

magpie said...

Wanda

You can also put UNCOOKED rice in a sock and moisten that, then heat up in the microwave

Lynn, last night was just too crazy and we were one person short!

paula eagleholic said...

I can see that stick shadow, Lynne.

sooo, a flashlight would help ☺

It's actually a great nite lite when the moon is out!

magpie said...

eagle off the nest cup at BWE - one egg

BEagle said...

Mrs. BWE is off the egg. There is still just one. Looks little to me.

stronghunter said...

Susan could hear me on the telephone. I do not know exactly how it works. I would think that her hearing is not the best. But then I don't think she would be hearing very well with fluid in her ears, either.

The doctor told her that one of her ear drums was ruptured when she was at the hospital. She thinks she felt the other one rupture later on. The ear felt much better, but she was dizzy for awhile.

Quito is located at a very high altitude, which would have been putting pressure on her ears.

stronghunter said...

Happy birthday, Chrissy.

magpie said...

turning the egg now I think, BWE


that was a pretty, very clear view

magpie said...

only five mins left before it stops for the night

Hi Paula

tell us what you bought today !

magpie said...

HI BEagle and Shirley


Lade Blackwater now seems to be settling in for the night

stronghunter said...

Those papers are waiting for me to grade them. I just could not do it today. I slept a lot. Guess I was tired.

Yesterday was stressful.

stronghunter said...

Going to head upstairs. Very tired, even though I napped today. George has to go back to the vet's on Monday to finish up his shots and get his bladder checked. They didn't have time to get the specimen today. They need to keep him for the day.

magpie said...

Or even what you are thinking about buying for the Beach House Paula.....all will be interesting to us...

will check back later...buzzer on dryer going off !

Good night Lady and Lord Blackwater and egglet Blackwater


ttfn xo

stronghunter said...

Hi Margy. Good night.

magpie said...

G'Night Shirley.....hope you get good rest

BEagle said...

Goodnight Strong. Prayers still going up for Susan and you too.

Mema Jo said...

Wow I am late coming in here.
My Mai scratch has disappeared, Lynn
I m glad she is doing well at the training classes and now to get to know other doggies and how to behave.

Jillian should be so proud of herself.
Awards from your own co-workers & peers
mean the most!

Congrats to you Steelers! Very close game - Wish you well at the bowl.

paula eagleholic said...

Forgot to say congrats to Jillian!!

paula eagleholic said...

Forgot to say congrats to Jillian!!

Mema Jo said...

Sleep well Shirley knowing that Susan
is getting the attention she needs.
And she will be home soon.

BEagle did you look up the
Cooper's Hawk?

Well, I had a granddaughter turn
25 yrs old today.

Grandson said it is great down at the beach in the off off season! They are having a blast.

Mema Jo said...

Paula you really should say
Congrats to Jillian! lol

Mema Jo said...

Most of BWE eggs hatch in the afternoon
So since tomorrow is a holiday and the last day of a long weekend... I'll bet
the little one pops out of the egg.
Lisa predicted before the end of the weekend

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, double congrats!

Margy, I was looking at cabinets and counter tops, and tubs and surrounds...the kitchen and bath ones need to be replaced...trying to decide if I want to go ahead and tackle that stuff right away or not...the kitchen cabinets were worse than I thought...so If I do those, should I do the floor first...and on and on!


Everything is good to go for settlement Thursday...will take pics and measurements when I do the walk thru.

Oh, and did I tell ya'll I bought his boat and motor? Just a small 12ft aluminum boat and 6HP outboard motor...just enough to get around in.

paula eagleholic said...

Jo, are you talking about eggs being LAID, not Hatched at BWE?

Mema Jo said...

I think you can handle that speed, Paula. You made out on the deal.
Is there a boat dock - I need to go back and look at your photos.

paula eagleholic said...

Nope, no pier...yet! But will definitely do that too. Then I can fish and crab and just sit on the pier and have a drink!

NatureNut said...

Put some so-so pics on blog, but they are our favorite bird!

BEagle said...

I did look up the Coopers Hawk. It was too slim. This was a chunky bird.

And I think it was a juvie like Paula suggested.

And it sure did look like the Red Tail shown on Wikipedia. I didn't get to see the tail feathers on mine and it had more blond feathers than brown.

If I had a camera, I would have stopped for a pic.

NatureNut said...

Just checked game---Green Bay is going to town!

BEagle said...

Gus is really cute.

magpie said...

Yea, So-So GREAT photos Loretta!

okay Paula...sounds like you have your work cut out for you and then the boat to relax in after a long day's work !

It will be great fun to hear all the projects you get involved in there and also nice that it seems ready to be a Roost during the projects

magpie said...

Happy 1/4 decade birthday to your granddaughter Jo... guess this would be a "Silver" Birthday?

Or maybe that just applies to Wedding Anniversaries !

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Margy... I have had quite a few grandkids hit the 25 and also the 30.
This is when they start to realize they are adults.

Lynne2 said...

heading to bed. Good night and prayers for all!

Geez, when I was 25, I might have been just going OUT at this hour! I really don't miss those days...

Mema Jo said...

Your so-so pics are good, Loretta.
I love little Gus!

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Paula for setting me straight

Most of BWE eggs are LAID in the
afternoon..........

Mema Jo said...

I think it is time for me to get ready to hit the pillow! Take care everyone and have a good night's rest.

Prayers for all of our wants/needs

Hugs to all ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

magpie said...

Guess I'll watch the Hagerstown MD TV news for the latest on the nightclub shooting....
then head out to see what happens tonight in our fair city/county

Best wishes for Sweet Sleep, everyone

Prayers for our many needs
and Prayers of thanks for many gifts given everyday

God Bless Us, Every One

xoxo ♥

NatureNut said...

Time to call it a day...
Pleasant Feather Dreams & Prayers for Good Health ;>)

magpie said...

Oh by the way, Berkeley Countians and anyone traveling through Martinsburg


Lots of wooden snowmen displayed on North and South Queen Street Main Street Martinsburg, very nice ! Will try to get some pictures in the morning

okay bye

hedgie said...

LOL, Margy....they had pics in the paper early this week....they labeled one as a red robin. Sure looked like a CARDINAL to me!

Yes, Wanda, congrats to Jillian!!!
And, please, no hot coals for a hot pack!!!! Wet a handtowel, roll it and heat in microwave. Place in folded towel and then wrap around Gene's neck.

hedgie said...

Shirley, now that Suzi's drums have ruptured, there shouldn't be any fluid build-up.

Costume Lady said...

OK, some warmth on Gene's neck after the massage, says it feels much better. He would rather have more massage than heat...sorry Buster, these hands are joining the rest of my body in bed:)

GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS FOR ALL

hedgie said...

Goodnight, dear friends. Peaceful sleep, sweet dreams,and I hope that all aches and pains and illnesses are gone when you awake. Prayers and peace.

Lolly said...

Well, I got lost playing computer games this evening.

If Susan should have to stay longer will the same apply to her teacher who was also sick? Glad to hear about the ears and that they would not hurt on the flight.

Congrats to your granddaughter, Wanda. Know you are very proud.

Church in the morning and then Dallas in the afternoon. Whole family is getting together to celebrate my birthday as well as Michael's . His birthday is Tuesday. My oldest baby will be 42. Wow! Michael is cooking, Jack has prepared "orders" and Laurel has made the dessert. My kind of family get together. Laurel has Monday off, so she is enjoying a 3 day weekend.

Diane said...

It's late at night, sorry I haven't been on today. For thoese who don't know, I've been playing around with my blog. I've never done one before, so am not quite sure if I'm doing it right. But I'm having fun putting pictures up. Since I got a new camera, my pictures turn out pretty nice.
I'll put up famly pics soon.
Off to bed. night!!

hedgie said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR CHRISSY,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!

Lolly said...

Nite all! Heading to the shower and then bed.

Sweet dreams!

Happy Birthday, Chrissy!

T-Bird said...

Good morning eagle momsters and dadsters.

T-Bird said...

Happy birthday Chrissy.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Don't know where our Love Birds are this morning. I looked in on the nest around 7am and Lib was sitting in the egg cup (don't know for how long), then he flew out. I waited about 30 min. for a return, but it was a no show. Keep watching, they will return mid morning.
HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY♥

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning all Eagle Momsters and Dadsters.

Don't see where anyone has said they seen the eagles at the nest this am yet.

WELL WHAT A WIN FOR THE STEELERS!!!!
YEA STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wanda I was into watching the game. I had to talk some to the Ravens too let the Steelers get some points. lol

Shirley I have been sending up prayers for Suzan and her teacher. For you also cause I know this is putting a strain on you. ((((HUGS TO SHIRLEY)))))

Well I'll change back to my other avatar now.

Thanks Paula for the information Steve gave. We have what we have for this year. Sounds like they had a good plan for the light. Not NCTC's fault it went bad. Glad they didn't do anything to disturb the eagles.

We will just have to hope Belle lays in eggs and the hatches happen during daytime hours.

T-Bird said...

Jets vs the Patriots & the Seahawks vs the Bears? I'm not sure yet.

wvgal_dana said...

Let's see if my avatar worked

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Wanda and Thelma.

So Wanda eagle was in the nest this am then. Ok.

Thelma how are things weather wise your way?

wvgal_dana said...

Well Little Man ate some this AM not much. Guess I am going to have to baby him some more with chicken and broth and maybe some rice.

wvgal_dana said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISSY

T-Bird said...

I only watched the end Dana. The Steelers were really rolling.

wvgal_dana said...

Yes they were Thelma but HOW IS YOUR WEATHER DOWN YOUR WAY???

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, Tbird and Wanda and Dana!!

Waiting for my coffee to brew ☺

paula eagleholic said...

You should be able to hear the wind at the nest today, but nada.

paula eagleholic said...

Lolly, sounds like a nice afternoon! What is Michael cooking?

paula eagleholic said...

Diane, love your pictures on your blog. The squirrel and turtle drinking out of the same dish is cute.

glo said...

Good morning everyone Go Patriots :-) You have to admit you almost never see a sports post form me. LOL


Got the pop up cam popped up. Hoping to see Lib and Belle while I am at the computer.

stronghunter said...

Good morning!

Fantastic pictures Diane.

Hoping to hear something from Susan today.

stronghunter said...

Lolly, yes, it is possible that Susan and the teacher will both have to stay longer. Someone at the school had suggested that since the teacher had not yet been quarantined, she should beat it out of there ASAP, but she said she would not leave Susan that way.

They seem to have become close. I think I have seen some of her posts on FB. If I am correct, she is from Fredericksburg. Originally, she is from Puerto Rico.

Susan is older than most of the other students, though I think there are some other older students along.

Susan has told me about some of the escapades of other students. One has been removed from the program because she refused to stay at the host family home and wanted to stay with her boyfriend who lives there.

It seems that she is threatening to sue because she is being denied the right to have a true experience by living in the ghetto rather than in a middle-class home. Of course, the ghetto is quite a bit more dangerous than the middle-class area of town.

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning All! Song birds and squirrels are feasting out back. WOW! I looked at Diane's blog and she has beautiful pics of her back yard activity. And a good looking family to boot!

Good to see all of you here - sorry the couple is out for a while. So thankful there isn't any snow in our nest.

Mema Jo said...

Nest Update from BWE

01/16/11:
As of 9am on Sunday, we still have one egg. Since our couple is experienced, we would expect to see at least a two-egg clutch, so the 2nd should come sometime today.

Mema Jo said...

♪♪♫♪♪ Happy Birthday Chrissy ♪♪♫♪♪

Praying you have a good year ahead

NCSuzan said...

Chrissy, hope you have a fantastic birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mema Jo said...

Shirley, I pray your gal soon can get home and in good health to boot!
Such a worry for a mother because it is
so far away. We were all so happy that Susan got this trip, but now not so.
Take care!

I am going out for a few hours...
Keep your eyes on BWE... Need 1 more egg.

BBL

wvgal_dana said...

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION LOLLY

wvgal_dana said...

I am trying that V8 V-Fusion Light Cranberry Blackberry IT IS PRETTY GOOD! I tried some others they were terrible. I like this one...can get some veggies this way. ( :

Lolly said...

Good morning and thank you, Dana!

Need to get ready for church but wanted to peek in and say good morning. Dreary day here. Rained all day yesterday and the same today. 47 presently and not going to rise...just cold and rainy. Thankful it is not colder and icy.

Paula, have no idea what Michael is vooking, but a good guess will be steaks.

They are getting drapes in their home this next week. Will have to get back soon to see that. Will make a vast difference. They are getting that gorgeous home decorated little by little. Or, the decorator is, I should say!

wvgal_dana said...

Boy is Little Man downing that chicken broth, chicken and brown rice I fixed him. That makes me happy. ( :

Lolly said...

All is quiet on the cam front! When I went to bed last night, Lily was awake and scraping more bedding into the den. Hated to turn her off. You could see Hope's eyes glowing in the depths of the den. :) No sign of a second egg yet at BW. Had that cam up while reading the paper.

Gotta go now. Have a great Sunday.
Sure need my coat this morning. Sigh.............

wvgal_dana said...

He licked it clean but I'll still wash it lol and he is looking at me like "Mom where is more". Nope if your not eating regular food like usual. We are taking this slow boy.

paula eagleholic said...

Chicken & Rice...doggie cure-all ☺

NatureNut said...

♪♫HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHRISSY!!!♫♪

And Happy B'day celebration to Lolly & son!
Good Morning Eagleland. Haven't checked cams yet~~been out with peanuts for Shorty. He must have been really hungry--almost jumped my hand again when I set them on railing! Has a friend who's not very tame, but follows him/her to get some good treats!
more coffee....

hedgie said...

I'm here....lurking. Busy, busy.
Love your pics, Diane!
Nice to see T-bird with us!
Lolly, have a wonderful celebration. Stay warm!
Nope, haven't seen any visitation yet.

stronghunter said...

Have a wonderful birthday, Chrissy.

stronghunter said...

Finally sitting down to grade papers.

I've posted a picture of the pile along with a picture of the puzzle in its frame on my blog.

Maybe I will be encouraged to keep grading since I have posted a picture of the work to be done.

Students were supposed to put the paper in a manila envelope because it keeps everything together. Some did not know what a manila envelope is. They were also expected to have a report cover. Some did not know what a report cover is. They have so much to learn.

and especially:

Happy Birthday Chrissy !♥

magpie said...

Love your new pictures, Shirley... I'm telling you, there is a prize-winning book to be written by YOU, and retirement shortly afterwards when you roll in the millions

Good Luck with the papers.
Bird Puzzle Picture looks great !

hedgie said...

Getting ready to head out soon for Animal Advocates meeting and dinner with a friend. C U l8r (as my gd texts!).

magpie said...

so except for Wanda's early morning peek at one eagle, the Royal Pair has given us the slip - nice weather...maybe they are just out soaring

magpie said...

C U Hedgie...
have a good meeting

magpie said...

So good to see T-Bird on earlier...been wondering about the Southern Delegation here lately !

stronghunter said...

Thanks, Margy.

Already discouraging. First envelope contained no final draft. Just some preliminary stuff and a note that said the paper can be found under the student's name. Where? Online? I did not promise to look there. Grade=35% for preliminary stuff.

magpie said...

tried for 3 hours to sleep, it isn't happening...going to go have some kid fun...I'm OFF tonight

Best wsishes for a good day everyone
xo ♥

magpie said...

OK Shirley....but still hope there wil be some good literature in there somewhere !!
Do you have school Monday?
some schools here are closed

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, Great start Shirley...good luck!

magpie said...

personally I was horrible at getting down to term papers and things, always waited until the last possible minute !

Ok I let you work now, and I am headed out
Prayers for Susan and her teacher

magpie said...

BWE eagle off the nest cup still only one egg

magpie said...

egg has stuff on it

BEagle said...

Hi Eagle Folks,

The BWE cam is awesome. The detail of the feathers is sooo pretty. Beautiful scene there.

I see there are two on our nest. : )

paula eagleholic said...

BOTH EAGLES OUR NEST

paula eagleholic said...

THEY ARE HANGING OUT

BEagle said...

I am trying to figure which one is which.

paula eagleholic said...

Lib is digging in the bowl...checking fluff content :)

BEagle said...

I would say that is Lib close to the cam. I didn't think so at first but now I do. White shoulders.

BEagle said...

That looks like Belle moving the stick and Lib just moved to the cup.

NatureNut said...

Da Bears!!! TD already, but Seahawks are tough, too. Should be a good game!

paula eagleholic said...

I think you are right Beagle, Looks like Lib down in the bowl now

Belle is also wider across the chest

paula eagleholic said...

Off went Belle

BEagle said...

Off went one. I'm sure it was Belle.

BEagle said...

I never notice the chest but I will check it closer. I was also trying to compare beaks. I think Lib's might be more hooked than Belles.

paula eagleholic said...

I was going by tail feathers at first...generally you can see more of Lib's than Belle's, but not today, LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Lib is also lighter than Belle, but it's hard to distinguish that in the sunshine.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like he is waiting for her to return

BEagle said...

Belle seems to have the habit of putting one of her talons forward. Is that my imagination or have you noticed also?

paula eagleholic said...

Do you mean when standing?

BEagle said...

I have noticed the lighter lacier wing feathers.

paula eagleholic said...

Chicks were just in view at NC, parent just covered them up

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, you can see that now on Lib

I wonder why the NC eagles haven't been given names?

I have a work at home day on Monday. It is counted as a work day, but I do not have to go to the school. I have plenty to do.

We can go to the school if we wish, but they are working on the heating system, so it will probably be very cold in the building. That may be true on Tuesday as well.

Students do not return until Wednesday. I have to be there on Tuesday, but will have to attend some meetings. It is an in-service/work day. I really need to be allowed to do my own thing on Tuesday. So much to do.

I am working at home today, even though that does not count.

Eatin time at Jordan

Nice article in the Sunday Gazette about Bald Eagles. Thirteen were spotted at New River Gorge along with a Golden Eagle.

The nest that was discovered last year produced two juvies. Another nest has been discovered overlooking Bluestone Lake.

Aren't they cute at NC?

BEagle said...

That was quick. Got to keep those babies warm.

Looks like the littlest one may have got a few bites

Lib up and flew off to the right

It seems that I just missed the eagles in the nest.
Before leaving for church I saw the one egg in the nest at BWE.

We will not be leaving for Dallas for another hour and a half. Will do some quick mopping of floors before going.

Forgot to tell you. This morning while going down for the paper, I was looking for the hawks again. Looked in the same area, then something caught my eye. One hawk was on our mailbox. I stopped walking and watched but a car drove by and the rs hawk flew off. Guess they are finding our yard as a great hunting ground. Wish they would dig up moles or better yet, haul off an armadillo. LOL

BEagle said...

Belle and Lib will probably be back soon.

BEagle said...

Lolly, I don't see why a hawk wouldn't want to eat armadillo! lol

Similar to a turtle. lol

I would be ecstatic seeing the hawk.

Lolly said...

Just a little difference in size of an armadillo and a turtle. When we did have the hawks nesting in our tree we found several turtle shells.

Lolly said...

They had a certain area of our yard where they droped the remains. We called it the grave yard. We found snake skeletons, turtle shells, cattle egret feathers and legs, and fish heads.

Lolly said...

Got NC up with no problem today. Remains of dinner are just a little too colorful for my taste.

Lolly said...

Still just one egg at BW.

BEagle said...

They could double up on the armadillos. I bet the hawks have tried though. Armadillos roll up don't they?

Lolly said...

I have never seen an armadillo roll up. The run like h____! LOL

Lolly said...

Do not know of a predator of armadillos. Maybe coyotes or maybe cougars or Jack with a shotgun!!
