kickngbird said...

Mema Jo said...

I am watching our Royal Couple
At least it isn't S--W in the nest.
How many more days until Spring?

Thanks for the fresh thread, Steve.

NatureNut said...

See both birds busy w/construction.

Mema Jo said...

Loretta, thanks for the call over.
Has your daughter left MD yet?

WV sUSAn said...

Thanks Steve. Thanks for the call over Loretta. Thank goodness they put that stick down. Whew

WV sUSAn said...

Don't say that word Jo. Lol

BEagle said...

THANK YOU FOR THE NEW THREAD Steve.
Enjoy your weekend.

I counted 42 days until spring.

BEagle said...

Thanks for the call over to the new thread NN.

BEagle said...

HP. HP!

BEagle said...

Brief pause for recovery.

WV sUSAn said...

Now that was a ggod one Lib. HP rockn

NCSuzan said...

I yhink yhat HP took.

BEagle said...

Stick adjustments.

BEagle said...

I think it took too.

Mema Jo said...

If Lib would have left Belle in the egg well last night it would be dry and she would have just been wet..
But it is what it is..... and the anticipation increases!

2 poofs make an MT Nest

Mema Jo said...

The new tool bar on our Live Feed -
Have any of you opened the "Menu"
button? If brings up Share and
Info........ Info just brings up the paragraph that is below the cam pic.
I haven't investigated 'Share' yet

NCSuzan said...

Sorry about that spelling.

Lolly said...

Suzan, I think you just got too excited about all that HP. And, I am with all of you...I think it took!

I was on the phone talking with Laurel while watching the HP.

Costume Lady said...

The new info that Steve gave us a link to was not informative to me...I must have not found what some of you read and were pleased with. Come on...someone, give it up!
Missed this last visit and HP.

BEagle said...

I hit the share to see all the share options. When I closed it took me out of the cam.

Costume Lady said...

Suzan, we pay no attention to spelling, unless it is something VERY funny...then, look out:)

BEagle said...

Well, I was going to say "I Yink it Yook too."

Costume Lady said...

I told my grandson (Brandon) last night, about having he and his friends as my avatar and some of your comments...he was embarrassed.
He did say that he thought the lady with the HEATED birdbath had the best to offer;) And, the group of them might clear all of the ice and snow from the property of the lady in Texas, if she could help them get to the Super Bowl:) Kidding...

Lolly said...

LOL

I tried the share button too, but have not figured out how to get back to the cam. It throws you out! Yikes!

BEagle said...

Well, Lolly, it looks like you win the bird bath cleaning!

Lolly said...

roflmbo, Wanda! Poor boy, bet he was embarrassed. Silly comments from these old ladies!

BEagle said...

Maybe if you actually use the Share feature...it won't kick you out. Just a thought.

BEagle said...

I see bear faces and paws.

Lolly said...

I don't have the heated bird bath. Think that was Glo. I can not afford the Super Bowl tickets, but hey, I could give them free room and board. ☺

BEagle said...

Sooner has an eagle perched. Looks like the snow is melting at SQ

NatureNut said...

Back for a sec. Daughter just called~~she turned in rental car & got shuttled to Reagan. Her plane leaves around 1 PM. What's ironic is that her hubby had to go to Baltimore for the weekend & guess he will go home Sunday! So, we probably won't see him. Everyone passing on the airwaves!!(She thought up a wild field trip for both of us to fly & meet in another city. Don't know if it will come to pass, but is Top Secret now.)
Was supposed to go to work to make up for yesterday---would like to see a little sun first!

BEagle said...

Aww. Little cub paws sticking straight up.

BEagle said...

NBG mom is drenched. Egg rolling now.

magpie said...

you realize there are two at OUR nest now !

hedgie said...

I got lost!! See what happens when I try to get some chores done?

Lolly said...

Jack and I just saw a different bird at the feeder. We are trying to identify it....heard the eagles from across the room. Yea! I love sound!

NatureNut said...

OMG, Lily just got popped in the nose by a little front paw! Those feet are so much bigger!!!!

Lolly said...

Finally got the OK cams up. Love the sunshine on that nest!

magpie said...

ONE at our nest
Belle it is

Lolly said...

Ahhh, come on, Loweeda. Let us in on your big secret. We will not tell anyone!

magpie said...

hedgie said...

Wanda, I will email you the document as an attachment.

magpie said...

either BELLE has new food or is working on that OLD squirrel

magpie said...

so glad that Judie has live feed now....

Hope you are watching Judie !

hedgie said...

LOL, tell Brandon not to be embarrassed for cheering up us ol' gals!!!

magpie said...

..going back to bed here


Okay, there IS AN EAGLE on OUR NEST
It is Belle

ttfn xox zzzzzz

stronghunter said...

Eagle in our nest.

NCSuzan said...

You can tell Hope is in front because of those big ears! I love to see the little hands and feet just flailing around. So cute.

I know I have 5 to 8 tubes of lip balm around but can not find a one. My daughter, bless her heart, heard me complaining and brought me Neosporin Lip Health. It is pretty darn good. Just thought I would pass that on.

Last night my daughter picked up my new computer. 17 inch screen and room for lots of cams. Going to use my other laptop for cams too. I will probaably spend my dau refreshing all the cams!

NCSuzan said...

Can't stop thinking of Paula and hope she is doing ok. This is a hard time.

stronghunter said...

MT nest.

hedgie said...

And MT nest again. Sure does not look as pretty as it did a couple of days ago!

NCSuzan said...

Couldn't get through one blog without a misspelling and I thought I proofread.

Mema Jo said...

It is like a fine mist outside here in the valley making for wet cats out on the deck...... They don't smell like wet dogs. Wonder why?

Loweeeeeeeeeda - you have a secret!!!

My gd and gsil are leaving for his brother's wedding on the beach in
Puerto Rico. They are able to stay 10 days at the private family home of brother's bride to be. So airfare was a decent price and they loved HI honeymoon. Lucky kids!

Lolly said...

Feeding at OK....2 little babies in sight.

NCSuzan said...

Beautiful sight of eagle at Hornby.

Going to fix something to eat.

Mema Jo said...

My thoughts turn to Paula - don't know if she had to go into work or not.
Then there is a lonesome Nugz who is going to need a lot of lovin'.

Loweeeeeeeda - I think Frank isn't even in on your secret yet! Right?

Mema Jo said...

Breaking for lunch........

Mema Jo said...

Breaking for lunch........

Mema Jo said...

Yepper I am really really hungry so

I am breaking for lunch.


Don't feel like deleting.........

Lolly said...

Have identified our visitor as a goldfinch in winter coloring. Have several here and they have been chowing down.

Washed my hair today, need to go do my do!

BBL

WV sUSAn said...

It's alllllll good Suzan. If I had two computers going, I'd never leave the house. Hahaha

Lolly said...

You're stuttering, Jo!☺

hedgie said...

Cool, Suzan....what kind of puter did you get?

Those cubs are noisy---nursing, I guess....but don't see any movement.

hedgie said...

Oh, someone sounds mad, now....and a bit of movement but can't tell who is what or what is who!


Shirley, forgot to say last night that I applaud you for standing your ground about the chinchillas. It is YOUR house, and YOUR rules!!!! Don't know how you are dealing with the strain you are under.

Ho, ho----cub hanging onto Hope's head for dear life....she didn't like that one bit!!! Shoook it off----maybe it was tryin g to suckle her face. LOL---now SHE wants a teat!

stronghunter said...

Lots of bear movement now.

hedgie said...

stronghunter said...

Oh, Kathryn did not want to keep any chinchillas here, either, Lynn. Susan is prepared to come get them if someone else does not.

But thanks for the kind words.

stronghunter said...

Having trouble typing. George wants attention.

WV sUSAn said...

Lynn. Lots of activity in the den today. Great cubbie shots.

stronghunter said...

I would hate to see any little critters in the situation those little chinchillas seem to be in.

Chinchillas require special care. Susan seems to be well versed in what they need.

But Kathryn and I both have as much as we can handle already.

Yes, I have made some adjustments. I had gotten used to coming home and relaxing. Now I come home to dogs needing attention and people needing dinner. Kathryn can do the cooking, but I try to take care of things, too.

stronghunter said...

Kathryn's job and the necessity to pick Hunter up from the sitter's means that I usually get home first. If things aren't underway quickly, the dinner is mighty late and everyone is tired. Hunter needs help with homework and needs to go to bed at a reasonable time.

Kathryn and Hunter are off on errands today. I guess they will bring the chinchillas here at some point.

stronghunter said...

Kathryn is usually the homework helper. That is fine with me.

stronghunter said...

I am hearing cub purring.

hedgie said...

Had to reboot------everything froze up......grrrr.

hedgie said...

Goodness, those bears are noisy. Finally had to turn down the volume.

Lolly said...

Shirley, I imagine it has been quite an adjustment. I do think you are all handling it quite well. Families are so wonderful, but sometimes you have a tendancy to take out frustration on family. Keep up the good work!

I think that den of bears looks so snuggly. Hard to tell who is who unless you have been watching for a while.

Ready to head out. Have a friend who is a nurse. She went prepared and spent the night at the hospital Thursday night. She did drive home last night, arriving at 8:30. She said it was white knuckles all the way home. Her hubby was happy to have her home.

Alls quiet on the nest front.

WV sUSAn said...

Empty nest Going to run some errands. BBL

floralgirl said...

Eagle alert!

hedgie said...

Eagle back!

floralgirl said...

And gone!

paula eagleholic said...

Hi Everyone.

Lib in the nest. Brought some fluff. Off he went to the left.

floralgirl said...

Hi Paula ▼
He sure didn't stay long. Not sure where to find dry fluff today, it's really drizzly out there. Damp and chilly.

hedgie said...

But didn't stay long!

paula eagleholic said...

Thank you so much for all your prayers, hugs and kind words.

It's been a tough day. I'm at home...knew that I couldn't function at work. Have talked to my kids, and been giving Nugz some extra attention.

I'll be lurking...I was trying to video earlier and ran out of space, so I am trying to clean up my computer. I bought an external drive to copy pictures and video onto, but I haven't had time to hook it up and use it.

paula eagleholic said...

Lib back

hedgie said...

and back again.....

hedgie said...

Lights are flickering........if I disappear, you'll know why!!!!

floralgirl said...

Lib flew out, empty nest

hedgie said...

Paula, glad you made it back with us. Try to keep busy, or you and Nugz take a nice nap---good day for that.
Thinking of doing the same here....but waiting for SIL to come carry in softener salt and to fill corn feeder......only been waiting for 2 days.....:(

Mema Jo said...

Well, Good! Lynn stutters also!

They really need to build up the egg cup like it was a day ago.

Hi Paula! Glad you are home with Nugz!
I'll be sending you positive thoughts for as long as you need them! ♥

paula eagleholic said...

Lib just brought Belle in another fish :)

paula eagleholic said...

Sometimes I can hear her tearing at the fish. Sound is definitely better.

Mema Jo said...

I wish they had some dry fluff from somewhere.
You're right Lynn - good afternoon for a nap!

movin said...



========================

GooD MoRNinG,

eVeRYONE..

========================

I guess I was expecting Belle to be on the first egg this A.M. ... She never listens to people, but somehow she always gets it done every year anyway.

C(°?°)3 Jim

paula eagleholic said...

She went down into the bowl and arranged some fluff, then out of the egg cup, looking around a bit and took off to the left. Hopefully the nest will dry out tomorrow. We are certainly close to egg laying time.

glo said...

Hey Paula Glad to see you on just for a bit. I am glad you are home with Nugz. You two will be good for each other this weekend.

Lynne2 said...

Hi all!

(((HUGS))) Paula.

Lynne2 said...

heard, then saw 2 robins when I was out filling my feeder a little while ago! Of course, camera in the house...

hedgie said...

Both in nest!!!

movin said...

I told you I think Phoebe is a new bird this season... Well, the little ones seem to be developing faster too.

One at least is trying his wings as though he's ready for that first flight already.

C(°?°)3 Jim

hedgie said...

Jo, missed it----when did I stutter?

paula eagleholic said...

Lib brought more food. I wonder if there is a correlation between how much food she consumes and egg production?

hedgie said...

Oh, I see it now!! LOL! And that was a long one!

hedgie said...

They sure seem kind of antsy, don't they? In-out-in-out......

hedgie said...

Lynne---robins are a good omen.....along with Punxatawny Phil's forecast, maybe spring really will arrive early......can I place an order for next week??

Lynne2 said...

uh, what the heck is that sound?

Lynne2 said...

anyone else hear that?

Lynne2 said...

Lynn, hmmmm....next week, not so much. Looks like right now they are concerned about another "winter event" around Thursday.

But remember....METEOROLOGICAL SPRING is in 22 days!! March 1 marks the day when the 3 coldest months of the year are behind us!

Lynne2 said...

by then, I'll bet the little crocus plants will be popping up out of the ground


REALLY...can anyone hear that? It's 4 short sounds in a row, every so often, not any really pattern to how often. Eagle cam is the only one I have sound on at the moment.

Lynne2 said...

OK, sound muted on cam, still hearing noise. Very strange.....

Lolly said...

We are back from errands and would you believe it is up to 50 here. Hurrah! Snow is melting fast, it is a wet wet world out there. In shady areas on the country roads there is still icy slushy mess but in sunny areas it is nice and dry.

Pipe was frozen at church but eventually the water ran fine.

I see no eagles in the nest. boo hiss

hedgie said...

Lynne, I have had situations where I have CLOSED a page that had sound and the sound doesn't stop!!
Were you listening to anyhting else?
22 days,eh? I can look forward to that!!!
LOL....I am counting down the number of work days that Suz has left before her planned retirement date....Mon. will be 242!

hedgie said...

It is frizzling here.....drizzle, but freezing on the trees....they are getting heavier and drooping lower.
Lolly, send those temps here, please!!!

Still waiting for Charlie.....Mai is asleep. I am heading for the sofa. BBL.

Mema Jo said...

Lynn - At 12:57pm you stuttered!
I bet when you are all comfy on the sofa your sil will be knocking on your door.

Lolly - with melting snow will you have a marsh land for awhile?

hedgie said...

Finally got NC cam open!!

hedgie said...

Phone woke me. No doorbell yet, Jo.

Lolly said...

Well, it will be wet but not a marsh. We have been too dry to be a marsh.

I have a funny Jacob story! Laurel was just at the grocery store. She called it hell. Every line was long long long. She had Jacob with her. She told him "After this, when I get home I am going to need a glass of wine" and Jacob replied "And I am going to need a lot of water."

Mema Jo said...

Jacob is one wise little guy! I thought he would have said 'soda' or at least chocolate milk - Water is great!

I am ready to head out the door for Mass. I have a list of prayers.
You all should feel better when I
return. Promise!

BBL

Lolly said...

Eagle!

Mema Jo said...

EAGLE ALERT

Lolly said...

2 eagles!

Mema Jo said...

2 EAGLE ALERT

Lolly said...

Bell is acting like she might settle in the egg cup.

Lolly said...

Nope, wrong again.

Mema Jo said...

They only brought in 1 little puny branch.

I am out the door - all yours Lolly

Lolly said...

Well, they are doing nothing. Just standing there looking around. Come on...let's have action!

Lolly said...

Very wet eagle at NBG. Shouldn't they be having the second egg soon?

Lolly said...

Our eagles look like statues...guarding the nest. They are so still I had to check to make sure the cam had not frozen up.

Lolly said...

Belle is now digging in the egg cup.

Lolly said...

HP!

Lolly said...

Belle invited that! Saw her spread her wings before he hopped up.

Lolly said...

Lib poofed!

hedgie said...

Contemplating.....to roost or not to roost; that is the question. LOL!

hedgie said...

And Lib departs in a flash.

WV sUSAn said...

I'm inclined to think that was a TAKE on the HP. Lib is on his game today.

Lolly said...

Wish Belle would just wiggle waggle down into that egg cup.

WV sUSAn said...

How old are the chicks at Lake Jordan? They sure are active.

hedgie said...

Don't forget to look at my blog. Amazing photo from Burdr on FB.

WV sUSAn said...

Belle has got to be ready to pop.

hedgie said...

I think Belle is trying to get that cup to her liking.

Lolly said...

Sje is really working on the cup but uh oh, has wondered away. Ah, come on, Belle!

Lolly said...

Thinking Belle is finding nest overs for a snack.

BEagle said...

NBG got up a few minutes ago. Still only one egg.

WV sUSAn said...

She just needs a little snack. Nothing like nestovers. Ha

NCSuzan said...

I think the Jordan Lake eagles hatched on the 13th? Does that seem right?

WV sUSAn said...

Momma finally came back at Jordan. Chicks were alone for a while.

NCSuzan said...

Hmmmmmm. This action looks serious.

WV sUSAn said...

Thanks Suzan.

BEagle said...

NBG egg hatched by the 13th. It could have been on the 12th. The second on hatched on the 15th.

Lolly said...

It is time for another egg at NBG. It has been 2 days since the first egg.

BEagle said...

Nuts!

The Jordon Lake chicks were on the 13th and 15th.

Sorry 'bout that.

NCSuzan said...

Your welcome.

Lolly said...

BEagle, do you mean NC?

BEagle said...

Does anyone have a date on the NBG egg?

Lolly said...

See that you corrected that! LOL

WV sUSAn said...

Oh boy. Jordan momma brought dinner!

Lolly said...

Feb 3, in the afternoon.

BEagle said...

Yes. NC (Jordon Lake) is what I meant.

WV sUSAn said...

Yes. Jordan Lake is NC

BEagle said...

When did NBG lay that egg?

Lolly said...

Really rough weather at NBG.

Lolly said...

NBG had the egg Feb 3.

BEagle said...

Thanks Lolly.

NCSuzan said...

I think there is serious contemplation going on.

Lolly said...

Around 2:15 in the afternoon. There are pictures below the cam. You have to click on "Eagle lays first egg"

Lolly said...

Jack is going out....think I will too.

BBIALW

WV sUSAn said...

Belle is looking like egg:30. Wishful thinking, I know, but I'm going with it.

Lolly said...

Back! They say a watched pot never boils. Maybe a watched eagle never lays an egg. ☺

hedgie said...

Charlie just left----have my papers and mail, salt in and corn in feeder..and it is sleeting like CRAZY!!!!
Now to fix some chicken and dumplings!

hedgie said...

THUNDER sleet!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!

Lolly said...

Yum, I will be right over.

Lolly said...

Night light just came on!

Lynne2 said...

REALLY BELLE, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PUSH OUT AN EGG?????

BEagle said...

There is no color at the NGB. I guess the storm took care of that.

♫ Rock-a-bye eagle..in the tree top. ♫

Lolly said...

Now, don't yell at her Lynne. You will really stop her up! LOL

BEagle said...

My thoughts exactly Lynne2

Lolly said...

I was thinking it is just really getting dark at NBG.

Lynne2 said...

LOL! Sorry, but REALLY....this is exasperating!

Lolly said...

Yes, it is! But, everything in HIS time. ☺

Lolly said...

Pouring at NBG. Look at the cam.

Lolly said...

LOL Shirley...Belle has been there for ages, making us grow old watching her do nothing.

Lynne2 said...

wow eagle there is off the egg...

Lolly said...

Egg in view at NBG

Lynne2 said...

she flew into the tree

BEagle said...

The NBG eagle just flew off the nest onto a branch. The egg looks a little lonely.

Lynne2 said...

flew away! egg all alone in the weather!

Lynne2 said...

ours is semi mantling over the egg cup

BEagle said...

Back now.

Lolly said...

Ahhhh, Belle is tenting. She must plan on spending the night.

Lynne2 said...

NBG eagle back on nest

BEagle said...

Belle is sitting!

Lolly said...

Oh, glad she is back at NBG. I bet they did a switch. They said earlier that he was on the nest.

Lynne2 said...

TENTING....I knew there was a correct word for it

Lolly said...

I hear something. Guess the sleet has started at the nest.

Lynne2 said...

too dark and blurry for me to tell which is on NBG, but I CAN tell the difference now!

Lynne2 said...
