Lib in the nest

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Thanks Megan. I listened to you! :)

floralgirl said...

Snow has slowed down here for the moment-the calm before the storm...

Costume Lady said...

Snow has stopped, for the moment, here in Nestville. Doppler Radar shows more snow on the way...in Morgantown right now.We need Dana 2
to check in and let us know how much snow they have there.
5 to 8 inches expected here, before all said and done.
Glad I got GG's extra meds and food fixed up yesterday! Told her to stay in the house and not to look for me til Thursday.

phyrfly said...

It's snowing great big HUGH flakes!

Mema Jo said...

This deserves mentioning without a doubt.... Dana !!! lol

phyrfly said...

It's snowing great big hugh
flacks here in Mo-town

We have so many new terms on this blog.
May as well use Flacks and Flugg and others........

phyrfly said...

3-6 inch is the expected with a mix of sleet and rain :(

phyrfly said...

LOL Mema Jo!

Mema Jo said...

How to be happy in a snow storm -
Join the Blog lol

phyrfly said...

My office mate just commented "Look , it's snowing snowballs!" It's pretty wild

Mema Jo said...

It's ok Dana2 You keep your big huge flacks cause I only have small tiny flicks to deal with right now.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Raining here and fluctuating between 36 and 37°.

Mema Jo said...

BBILW Need to take my meds even though I know Laughter is the best medicine......

Lynne2 said...

Good Morning! Well, depends on how you look at it I guess!

We had about 2" on the ground this morning. Then it rained. Then it snowed. Then it rained. Then it snowed. Now it is "snaining".

The L of C hawk has been captured!
L of C Hawk Update

Lynne2 said...

the dogs had great fun running the snow field this morning! I got the patio and walkways shoveled. It is HEAVY snow.

phyrfly said...

can someone tell me how to add a link to this blog? I forgot how to do it

Lynne2 said...

Hopefully get a chance to run to the store between this round and the big round later today. Got laundry done. Getting ready to make some Chicken Nooodle soup.

Lynne2 said...

Dana2, I just emailed you on FB how to do it....every time I try to explain it on here, I end up making links to nowhere. Hopefully it will come through on your message, NOT as a link! Let me know

Lynne2 said...

wow serious motors running on Bear Cam!

phyrfly said...

Here is what it looks like at work. It's sure is snowing in Mo-Town!

hedgie said...

LOL.....a few of missed new thread call over!

Dana2-----watch out for the snow flack! Dangerous stuff!! Don't think you all are supposed to get too much, are you?

Repeating from me and Lolly:
L-of-C Hawk rescued
<a href=

phyrfly said...

TY Lynne :)

hedgie said...

ROFL....from flack to HUGH flakes....Dana, what is going on in Mo'town?????

phyrfly said...

hedgie, I think they said 3-5 inch of snow with a mix of sleet

Lynne2 said...

you're welcome Dana
Looked like that for a while here this morning, too!

phyrfly said...

both eagles in the nest

hedgie said...

Video only lasted about 2 seconds and then went all green and yellow funk! Not looking too bad there yet.

Lolly said...

Some how missed the call over. Been over there talking to myself.

Thanks Lynn.

Both eagles now!

phyrfly said...

You gotta love Mo-Town! Anthing can happen here :)

Costume Lady said...

Loved that video, Dana. Do LOVE Morgantown. Use to visit the Elks Lodge there often when Capt. Gene was Exhalted Ruler.

Lynne2 said...

Geez, Hope is going to town nursing.

phyrfly said...

Have a good day all...try not to get hit by flacks, flicks or anything else that's falling out of the sky :)

Lynne2 said...

my little lost Chipping Sparrow is still here! And a flock of Grackles.

Lynne2 said...

OK road has been plowed and salted, temp over freezing....think I venture out to the store in a few minutes. BBL

Lolly said...

What a tangle of bears. Always so hard to figure out who is who and in what position.

Lynne2 said...

OH, he has a friend...I've got 2 on the feeder right now!

magpie said...

There IS an eagle in our nest....left...and came back

magpie said...

was...in the nest......and all gone now I think, my live feed is stalling and stopping a lot

Be Careful out there, slippery as can be around here.

car all covered up with plastic...might save me some work later if we get that heavy snow this afternoon.

Uniqueie Eagle Rock signing off.
Best wishes for a good day
....Sleep time here !
xo ♥

Lolly said...

Just got a quick peek at little cubbies. Saw two but could have been more.

Lolly said...

Leaving to eat breakfast. It is up to 46 and we will be going outside soon. Hopefully my back will allow it.

Have a great day!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Wren just arrived.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Eagle in the nest with a log.

floralgirl said...

Eagle flew in- moving sticks

Mema Jo said...

Both in the nest now

Mema Jo said...

Looks as though Belle is fluffing up the fluff!

Mema Jo said...

ROFL at those two! Belle tugged at the limb and knocked Lib right off his perch

hedgie said...

Missed that, Jo! They have the egg cup cleaned out!

Just talked to another trainer (local) who will probably be coming Friday. She gave me some insight and tips, but she, too, is concerned.

Gotta get some chow!

Lynne, please be careful.

hedgie said...

LOL, the hawk in the L-of-C was nicknamed SWELL. ?????Don't get that!

stronghunter said...

Good afternoon!

I pretty much slept the morning away. I guess I needed to do that.

Just learned that the LOC hawk has been captured and sent to the Raptor Conservancy of Virginia. They will release it from there.

stronghunter said...

Oh, I see I'm not the first one with the news about the hawk.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Maybe after the hawk was discovered, they all stood there saying "well, isn't that just swell".

stronghunter said...

I watched a squirrel checking out my feeder and then leaving. It would be interesting if that feeder really does prevent squirrels from getting to the seeds.

I have an ear of corn out for the squirrels. They have not been forgotten.

hedgie said...

Sharon, you probably got that right!!!

Shirley, glad you got some extra zzzzzz's!

stronghunter said...

It was very nice when the phone rang again and I learned I have the whole day off. Kind expected that to happen, of course. They said it was because of road conditions in the northern part of the county.

stronghunter said...

No snow on the ground here yet. But I think something is coming down out there.

stronghunter said...

Just noticed that Hunter has already been dismissed. I am supposed to go pick him up. He'll be at the sitters soon if not already.

hedgie said...

M-m-m good food....Just had me a can of good ol' Chef Boyardee Ravioli. Haven't had it in years. It just jumped out at me last week at the store....now wish I had gotten more than 1 can!!!

movin said...



^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
GooD MorNiNG,

aLL iN sNowY EaGlE

lAND.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's very cool for our So Cal blood this A.M., but I bet you don't want to hear about it.

[:~D] Jim

stronghunter said...

Whoops, I was looking at the wrong information. Hunter hasn't gotten out yet. It I thought kathryn would have contacted me.

At this point, it is just wet and cold here.

movin said...

Ha, ha, Hedgie. I don't think I've had the ravioli since the 50's, but I recently bought some spaghetti on sale and enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Just add a little salt and pepper, and it perks the flavor right up...I was surprised.

[:~D] Jim

stronghunter said...

I saw two little cubs! Also Hope licking Lily. Lily can use a little love.

hedgie said...

Wind is starting to pick up. Heading out to work on the big deck before the next snow band comes thru'. Thunder snow in the forecast, too.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Hedgie, what are the issues that are concerning you and the trainer?

hedgie said...

1/2 done. Drizzling. Wet snow....not a good sign, especially with wind.....praying that power stays on!

hedgie said...

It's frizzlowing here now. freezing rain-drizzle-snow.....not nice! Deck is finished. Mai has been out---decided she didn't like getting pelted!!

Lynne2 said...

BEAR CUBS!

Lynne2 said...

WOW awesome, just got a great view of both cubbies! Got a pic, can only see one though...will post on blog

Lynne2 said...

OK, picture is on!

Lynne2 said...

wish I had been fast enough to get both in the shot!

Lynne2 said...

several folks on Lily's FB site got shots with both!

stronghunter said...

Beautiful capture, Lynne. Perfect little bear cub there.

Lynne2 said...

Jack Hannah is going to be on The Talk shortly.

stronghunter said...

Watching for Jack.

stronghunter said...

A bit earlier today my weather alarm went off screaming at me, and I rushed off to shut it down, stepped on poor George's foot which caused him to yelp and jump around, which caused me to step on his tail. George yelped again and ran under the table.

I cam back to find a tuft of cat hair on the floor and gave George a little extra love. He has recovered. Poor kitty. But none of us wanted to keep hearing that alarm.

stronghunter said...

Thunder!!!

Lights flickering.

Oh dear!!!

stronghunter said...

Oh, my. Weather report now says 5-10 inches. Perhaps an emergency trip to the grocery store is in order. Might want a few more fire logs.

hedgie said...

Nest doesn't look terribly inviting, does it? Hope the egg-laying instinct feels the same!


Tub is filled. Fire is going. Guess I'm prepared for all eventualities.

hedgie said...

Jack Hanna is on The Talk (CBS) with a pelican!

Lynne2 said...

oh Shirley, you have THUNDER? Is it snowing there? I don't see it on the radar.....WOWO!

Lynne2 said...

oooo a brown black bear with JJH

Lynne2 said...

I just love Betty White!

stronghunter said...

Loud claps of thunder awhile ago, some sleet and rain. The Channel 10 weather guy said we had some hail down here, too. I don't think I saw hail, but maybe it was hail rather than sleet.

Lynne2 said...

oh goodness, I see the Weather Channel is having data problems, just looked at NOAA radar and it does look scarier near Shirley....

hedgie said...

Sharon, Mai won't stop jumping and biting me and tearing my clothes. She is scaring me badly. I'm afraid that if she knocks me down, she will tear me to pieces. Having to keep her on leash or in crate except when outside. She has become vicious and mean and we don't know why. As long as she's on the leash, she's pretty dolcile. Trying to play with her with toys seems to incite her, as well as trying to make her mind when she does something wrong.
Well housebroken. LEarning her puppy lessons well. I can touch her while she eats, and even take dish away. Just don't understand.

Lynne2 said...

oh geez, they are now saying the snow will start fast and heavy around 4pm here. Up to 2" an hour. I sure wish Steve wasn't still at work.

floralgirl said...

Ice pellets for a while, now it is snowing really hard here.

stronghunter said...

I will go pick Hunter up from the sitter soon. Do no want Kathryn to have to pick him up after dark today.

stronghunter said...

Do not want Kathryn to have to pick Hunter up after dark.

Lynne2 said...

SHirley, go NOW....the Weather Channel is now urging businesses in the area to let people go home right now. Please be very careful...it's going to a very heavy wet snow.

Just called Steve's work...he is out on a freakin' run because someone didn't show today. UGH.

Who else is out and about....we need to say a collective prayer for everyone's safe travels.

hedgie said...

I have a dozen juncos and a red-headed woodpecker on the corn along with a lone squirrel.

Snowing heavily now.

hedgie said...

Great pic of the cubby, Lynne----I think the 2nd one shows to the left, doesn't it?

Shirley, hope that Hunter is nearby. BE CAREFUL!

Lynne, hope that Steve gets home safely.

Zoo closed, so Mits did not have to go in. Suzanne stayed home today and worked from the library.
Carolyn is going to call to have a deputy pick her up tonight for work cause Charlie's 4-wheel drive is not working.

Hope Judie and Darth are home by now.

PAULA-----are you heading home early???

hedgie said...

Lynne, Betty White and Jack Hanna are the two funniest personalities, and I love seeing them on talk shows!!! My favs!! The animals were all lovely!

Costume Lady said...

Ice pellets here for a while, also. Now, a very fine snow coming down pretty hard. Hope you can keep the greenhouse cleared without too much back breaking work, Megan!

Costume Lady said...

Topper Shutt is calling for 5 to 8 inches here in Nestville and others are saying 11 inches! Sooo glad we don't have an egg!

Costume Lady said...

Love Betty White...didn't know she was 89! Hope I am that spry at that age (hope I live to that age).

Lynne2 said...

was Margy working today? No, I think she is going in tonight. UGH.

stronghunter said...

Kathryn says Hunter gets to the sitter at 4:00. It has started sleeting here now. Yuck. She said it is getting really bad in Triangle, where she is.

stronghunter said...

Not too far to Hunter's location. Some winding roads, though.

stronghunter said...

I hope to be as lively as Betty White when and if I get to be 89.

Lynne2 said...

Dana wasn't going out today was she?

stronghunter said...

I expect to have paper-grading time again tomorrow.

Some snowflakes coming down now.

I did not want to have to brave the craziness at the school to pick him up there, but am not going to waste time getting out of here now.

I think Hunter and I will have tomorrow together at the house.

stronghunter said...

Maybe Kathryn can leave a little early today. I hope so. I would like to see her home before darkness falls.

Federal government got released early.

Lynne2 said...

Prayers Shirley, for your travels and Kathryn's.

hedgie said...

Drive slowly, Shirley. Hope that Kat gets home soon, too.

It's a white-out here, Can't even see out to the road.

floralgirl said...

Hope everyone gets home safely soon. It is snowing really hard here now, we are going to be in some heavy bands of snow for a while now.

Lynne2 said...

I have a poor little almost blind female house finch here today. She must be able to see some, because she gets from the tree to the feeder. I can't really tell if she has Mycoplasmal Conjuctivitis, something that happens in HFs. But I suspect that's what it is. Poor little thing...

Lynne2 said...

WHOA, just saw lightning, here's the thunder....and her comes terrified Daisy. No snow here yet but rain.

I brought the extra comforters in from the laundry room, and some extra pet blankets in case we loose power tonight. Have lantern and flashlights ready.

wvgal_dana said...

I'm in and ok as far as driving goes not doing any.

Dang snow just keeps on coming...

Little Man has had a bad morning health wise and the snow on the porch isn't helping me any. We are hanging in there. Sticking with my dog.

hedgie said...

Extra pot of tea brewed. Cell charging. I was a good Girl Scout!

wvgal_dana said...

Praying for Shirley to get Hunter safely.

Prayers for Judie and Darth, Margy, Carolyn, Shirley's Kathryn, and any others out there that need to get to where they need to be.

hedgie said...

Megan......what's happening???? Are the heaters melting the snow off the GH?

Lynne2 said...

Just changed to snow about 5 minutes ago and it is snowing so hard....road getting covered already. Wish Steve was home.

wvgal_dana said...

Prayers for Lynne2's Steve and I am wondering about Paula and Megan's Russ.

Judie said...

Just cannot understand all the flack about the flugg! Doesn't everyone have flack with their flugg?

We are home, obviously. Got my "do" done while Darth hunted and gathered groceries. Heat and electricity still on - thanks to the electric powers that be.

Heavy snow here now. Thunder and lightening and then a very quick and heavy beginning. Lots of strong winds.

MT nest except for some snow.

Happy the LOC Cooper's has been rescued. Said to be dehydrated but will be okay for release.

Wanda, glad you got GG taken care of ahead of time. She'll be fine.

Poor George. Shirley, I think several doses of extra love are in order -- maybe for you both. Safe travel when you go to get Hunter.

Lynne2, sorry Steve is out and hope he makes a quick return home

Megan, sending a HUGH prayer that you don't have to sweep off the greenhouse.

Safe travels for Margie and Carolyn.

Going to elevate foot. Please stay safe and warm everyone. Anyone heard from Paula?

BBL

wvgal_dana said...

Prayers for Andy and her clan

Judie said...

Lynn, any specific ideas from the trainer you spoke with?

Where's Jo?

Really, off to elevate foot and take a pill.

NatureNut said...

Hello Everyone! Hope you're all tucked in cozy. Heard sleet balls hitting window at work at 4PM, so got out of Dodge!!!Was doing stuff I like, too. It was a mix on the trip home of sleet, rain & big snowflakes. Road not real frozen yet, but was tough getting up hill to my driveway. I'm in & cancelled Dr. appt. for TH. Whew! Don't go out!

Lynne2 said...

hmmm...Paula hasn't checked in since we got the new thread, at least...

Lynne2 said...

Glad you are home Loretta!

Lynne2 said...

Balto beltway looks clear and not much traffic at the moment. DC beltway has some snow and bumper to bumper. (I have discover Traffic Cams)

hedgie said...

4" new junk.......argh! Hear the wind on the cam??

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good evening Eagle buds!! I am so grateful there is not an egg in that snowy nest!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

The weather guy said it was winding down here but it is still snowing pretty good here in Bluefield!! Tom is still at work in Princeton and of course I am worrying about him!

Lynne2 said...

no posts from Paula since her comment a little after 10 last night about Judie's boo boo.

NatureNut said...

Fubby talked to our friends in Paw Paw and they had 5" then.

Only critters I saw having fun today was a hooded merganser pair in the pond. Diving down & having a good old time. Must have thought they were in FL!

Lynne, I've see finches and sparrows w/that eye disease. Very sad, but they try to get around as best they can.

hedgie said...

Good to hear that you are both safe, Judie and Loretta!

Dana, what's up with Andy????

NatureNut said...

Did hear thunder at work a couple hours ago. Nobody out but those ducks today. Half of pond is thawed where geese spend the night. None of them there either.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Our power keeps flickering off and on, hope it don't go completely. Over 7000 in Mercer County without a power right now.

wvgal_dana said...

I don't know Lynn-Hedgie but isn't she in school and will need to get home?

Prayers for Sissy's Tom.

Lynne2 said...

Steve on the way home!

Loretta, the eyes are not ulcerated, but one can barely be seen the other isn't much better. Took pics, will post later.

Glad you and the Hunter Gatherer are home Judie. Going to take a picture of your new DO for us?

Mema Jo said...

HI! I had my feet up and then I was looking out the window and got
mesmerized by that white stuff and couldn't move except to check in and praise the higher being that NO EGG
is in that nest.......

I'm reading and see that you are all
accounted for except Paula...

Lynne2 said...

WOW I cannot believe how hard it is snowing.

hedgie said...

I-81 shut down one direction due to wreck.

stronghunter said...

Kathryn left work early, but is having a hard time making her way home. She had to drop off a co-worker on the way.

Looks windy at the nest.

I left to pick up Hunter and came right back home. The roads got much worse while I was out. Very happy to be home.

Stay safe.

Lynne2 said...

I need to get up and do something to distract me from worry.

I agree Jo...SO glad there is no egg, especially with how WET this snow is. I sure hope the tree is up to it....

Lynne2 said...

Glad you and Hunter are home Shirl, anxious to hear when Kathryn arrives.

stronghunter said...

Hunter came home and immediately did his homework. I am impressed.

hedgie said...

8-10 vehicles involved.

glo said...

Gosh everyone stay in and stay warm and safe. I too am so thankful that our belle is not in that nest on an egg.

stronghunter said...

Roads are covered with snow. I am very glad to have gotten Hunter home.

stronghunter said...

Kathryn wanted to know if we need anything. I cannot think of a thing. We just need everyone safely here.

hedgie said...

Dana, Andy lives in sunny California. Her classes are at night. Who are you thinking of???

NatureNut said...

Just saw Lynne's cub picture. Hard to believe they've grown that much in a few days!!!!Adorable.Great capture. Altho, I need to finish housework tomorrow, it's gonna be hard to stay away from Bear Cam!!

hedgie said...

Judie, trainer had some ideas, but can't fully evaluate until she comes and sees it first-hand. Thinks it could be some boredom issues, or it could be just an excessive need for attention......all possibly stemming from being part of a large litter with constant company.
MTBR.

Glad that Steve got off early, Lynne. So we are still waiting for him, Kat and Paula.......not sure if Dana2 got off early---she had posted on FB that WVU cancelled classes early this afternoon.

Red said...

Our local weathermen are in hiding today. They had all forcast several inches of snow for North Alabama and we only got a couple of flakes. Guess it's all up NCTC way now. Nest looks cold and snowcovered. I heard from a little birdie that Lib and Belle have been making eggs. It won't be long now. See ya later

stronghunter said...

Just got the call. No school tomorrow.

Lynne2 said...

snow now the Batlo Beltway :(

Lynne2 said...

US Airways says a plane made an emergency landing in Virginia after being struck... by lightning. The plane was en route from Charlotte to Lynchburg, VA when it was hit. The pilot declared an emergency and landed without incident. 16 people were on board, no injuries were reported.

floralgirl said...

Sorry, had to walk outside to the gh. That will happen until it stops snowing, so if I don't answer you, that's why.
Snow is too heavy and coming down so fast, that we will have to keep sweeping it off. It is coming down fast, 2" to 3" an hour easily.

stronghunter said...

Wish we could all rush out and help you, Megan.

stronghunter said...

Hadn't seen the story about the plane, Lynne. Unusual for a lightning strike to happen in January, but I certainly heard thunder.

stronghunter said...

Time to fix supper. Kathryn is almost here.

Judie said...

Hi Red, nice to have you visit.

Hmmm, Lynn? How about a four-legged playmate for Mai? Could be Mai and Tai. Seriously, I do truly hope the problems can be resolved quickly and easily.

Hi Lowreeda. Tomorrow might be a good day for housework if you have to stay inside anyway. 'Course, I would just find a nice mystery and stay in bed.

Hey Jo. Stay inside and enjoy the snow from inside. Boy, would this be a great night for bacon pasta? Well, going to settle for Darth's steak and baked potato.

No, Lynne. No pictures. Don't want to be deleted from the blog. No real change. Just got too long for short hair. It was a cut-or-grow decision.

Hate looking at the nest. So reminds me of last year and those I memories I can do without. Pray Belle is going to wait out the storm.

Judie said...

I'm sorry, Megan. Wish I could help.

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, Steve, saw it all today...snow, rain, sleet, snow.

Safely home, think we closed and I left just in time....road was slushy and snowy, but doable.

Mema Jo said...

I had a delicious bowl of Beef Stew!
Really really good!

Hello Red - Yepper we're getting hit hard with the snow. We thought Spring was around the corner, you know..
Hope you are doing well - Remember, No Snow Shoveling!

Mema Jo said...

Good that you're home without incident.
By now the roads are probably not doable.

Lynne2 said...

Good! Paula is home, Kathryn almost home. Still waiting on Steve....the beltway has gone completely to H**L since he left work, and that's the EASY part of his drive.

Lynne2 said...

Bev just posted that Tom is home too!

Lolly said...

OMG! Look at the snow in the nest! Have read your comments too. OMG! Jack and I have been working in the yard. Had just a sweatshirt on with my jeans and got hot. It is presently 57, Laurel said it got up into the 60's. We are beginning to see the end of the leaf raking. Yea!

Well, I do hope you all keep your electricity. Enjoy your day of no work tomorrow or going any where. When is the snow supposed to stop?

Lynne, loved the picture of the cub. So cute!

Lynne2 said...

power is flickering....UGH.

paula eagleholic said...

So glad to hear the LOC hawk was captured! Swell!? LOL

I don't mind seeing the snow on the nest.,..we don't have any eggs in there.

Dana, hoped to hear Little Man was doing better, sorry to hear he's having a bad day.

ah, see Shirley gets a couple of play days!

Dog have been out and played in the snow, eaten and now going back out.

Not sure if I am going to shovel tonight or save it all for tomorrow.

Lynne, great pic of the cubby. Glad Steve is on his way home.

Lynne2 said...

Steve is home, don't think he can get up the drive. But he's home! BBL

Lolly said...

Glad everyone is reporting in. Waiting to hear Steve is home with Lynne.

Lolly said...

Great!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

I'm closing down for the night.

Too much snow everywhere around here.

Can't even clear an area for my poor doggie. grrrrrrrrrr

Stay safe everyone

Costume Lady said...

It's good to hear that our Flock is home and safe, except for a few...Margy, where are you, Dana, check in with us! Sorry if I missed you!
I was just talking with my granddaughter and the firestation suddenly lost power. Scary to think of a Firestation being without communication. Jillian said they can take emergency calls over their cell phones and pagers.

NatureNut said...

Glad to hear Paula and Steve got home. Is Kathryn still out?
Went out for a second & snow is real wet and heavy, just smashes right down under your feet. Small flakes, but coming down to beat the band.
They say around DC, the heavier stuff should diminish 11 PM-12 M.
Friends in Paw Paw now have 7.5" snow!
Judie, you lucky duck---got your haircut today. I wanted to go tomorrow after Dr. appt. NOT any of the above!

NatureNut said...

Meant to say Hello to Red!!!Glad 'Bama didn't get this stuff. South has gotten a lot this winter. Saw DIL and son over weekend. They are in mid-TN. Said theey've had quite a bit & everything shuts down---not enough plows, but some did come from other states.
TV weather is warning about heavy snow on tree limbs and wires. Could be some power loss.

Mema Jo said...

Tonight at 9 is Criminal Minds and then at 10 is Blue Bloods (as long as the power stays on)

Megan hope your gh is staying heated and some of this snow melts off for you and Russ.

BEagle said...

Boy is it nasty out there!

Mema Jo said...

Since most of you are here and before I put out the email for FEB B-days here it is so far.....

1st Gloria Keeslar
6th Sandra Osbourn
8th Jill Bishop

13th Mattie Jane Keesler
14th Valentines day ♥

Let me know if I need to add anyone for Feb. b-day or Anniversay.......

NCSuzan said...

Good snowy evening everyone. I hope all are home now and safe. What a storm you are having and thank goodness no eggs in nest to worry over. I am praying that you do not lose power.

Judie, it is wonderful that you are walking with a cane. I know you thought this time would never come but you persevered. YAY!

Lynne, great photo of baby cub. Glad your man made it home.

Lynn, I am concerned about you asnd Mai. Please be careful. Have you tried a squirt bottle of water? Maybe a spray in the face will detract her long enough for you to be safe.

Lynne2 said...

yeah, driveway not plowed. Steve was stuck and it took 15 minutes of digging and pushing to get him up the driveway. But, he's home. And I'll be taking to the heating pad later....

paula eagleholic said...

Glad everyone has checked in...and glad to see Dana, Red and Suzan on here as well!

dinnertime!

Mema Jo said...

Welcome BEagle! very pleased you are home safe and sound. Aren't you glad you have a new furnace? Hope you didn't have too far to travel!

Now I think that all birds are in the nest.

magpie said...

been missing you Suzan..good when the peeps check in

just checked through seems like the travelers are done travelin...for now

Comforting to read those words that one has returned home to his or her roost

xo

hedgie said...

Paula, relieved that you are home. Lynne, how long is your driveway?

hedgie said...

Megan, wish I had a miracle solution to the greenhouse problem.

magpie said...

Wanda
I believe Jillian could be very busy tonight..can they get their bay doors open? lots are electric these days, can be tough to open those doors manually !

Prayers for her safety during emergency calls tonight

stronghunter said...

Kathryn is safely home--on nerves of steel and 4-wheel drive, according to her.

Yes, I sure wish we could help out with Megan and the greenhouse...

'cause, we sure benefit from what goes on in that greenhouse for sure...

and, just because !

magpie said...

Hedgie...
has Carolyn called in to set up her transportation?

hedgie said...

Needless to say, puppy class was NOT held tonight....not that we would have gone even if it was!!
Major roads are shut down all over the place. What a mell of a hess.

magpie said...

due in for midnight shift, very grateful I have not gotten called in early...yet...
will have a pile of snow to brush off the Blazer.
Serious, dangerous storming out there

magpie said...

Lady Blackwater is all tented out on her nest, and BWO is "unreadable"

hedgie said...

Wanda....Margy is sleeping! She goes in at MN.

magpie said...

one "do" got done, one cancelled...
and Loretta and I will try for tomorrow !

stronghunter said...

Might they send someone in a 4-wheel drive vehicle to pick you up, Margy?

magpie said...

Uniqueie Eagle Rock is here.

Not sure about those new names, two co-workers that invented that have even more unusual ones

will write them down and tell you tomorrow

Lynne2 said...

Glad Kathryn is home!

Lynn, I'd say it's about as long as yours is from your road to your garage, up a slight hill. The Saturn has front wheel drive, but it sits really low.

stronghunter said...

Or maybe you have 4-wheel drive?

magpie said...

Shirley
I have four wheel drive and only about three miles to go...
only got hung up on high snow in the road one time last year...should be okay

magpie said...

maybe Diann PaNana will check in and tell us about her weather, and if her Jim is back at the roost...
hope so !

magpie said...

although snow-covered, our nest really looks beautiful !

hedgie said...

Oh, Margy, see that you are awake!!
Haven't heard from Carolyn. Will text Charlie and see what's up.

Suzan, have used the squirt bottle---doesn't phase her. I am worried about me, too.....and her. Thanks for your concern.

Cool to see Red, even tho' it was a short visit.

Gotta go put wood on the fire.

magpie said...

Split is coming very soon...

don't anyone get lost
us mother hens would worry

magpie said...

Yah Lynn..
if she has not called, she should do that soon as she can

guess I should get candles and flashlights out just in case we lose power

Wanda
GG doing okay?

Mema Jo said...

Lots eagles at Sutton nests - well one at each nest

Mema Jo said...

I almost lost my footing since I didn't even see the Split coming.
