70 ° in February? then right back to mid 40's. mother nature does get confused.
Today's nest weather-
Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 50s. South winds 5 to 10 mph with gusts up to 20 mph.

Lori O. said...

WOW - Early thread - Thanks Steve!

Good morning Meghan!

Lori O. said...

I am just loving this deeper nest knowing eaglets won't be teetering on the edges!

Lori O. said...

Lib flies in

floralgirl said...

Morning Lori:) Lib has arrived.

Lori O. said...

both eagles in the nest, but Belle is in no hurry to get off the nest.

Lori O. said...

Look at Belle just sitting there.

Lori O. said...

She's just now getting off the nest!

floralgirl said...

She finally got up and flew out.

Lori O. said...

And Lib takes over.

Gotta soak up now the differences in Lib and Belle in the nest - trying to get better at that. :)

Lori O. said...

Megan did you notice that the eggs are still at the same end of the nest as they have been, but the eagles and their chest/warming patch are at the other end. Is that okay for the eggs?

floralgirl said...

Didn't notice, Lori, doing too many other things while watching. But no worries, they know how to take care of those eggs.

WV sUSAn said...

Morning ladies. Stopping in while I get ready for work. I see our boy is keeping the egglets nice and warm

A friend of mine had a BIG barn fire several years ago and there was not a good outcome. Just glad the animals were able to escape this recent fire.

Meeting friends for dinner tonight at Vandalia. Yummy. My friend just had a knee replacement and I'm so glad to say she's doing great. Glad she's getting out!

Going to get ready. Will check back. BBL

magpie said...

headed home soon...
hope everyone has a good day...
seems like it is going to be a nice one

love these early morning new threads

thanks Steve,

& thanks Megan, for the alert

plant some seeds that will sprout yellow flowers for me, please xo

Judie said...

Good morning.

Thank you, Steve. Thank you, Megan. Hope you both have a lovely day in the warm sunshine.

Lynn, sorry about the circumstances with Ric and please offer sympathies to Bill for his employee's wife.

Was rooting for the Char Pai but alas, not this year.

Wanda, thanks for the advice about preventing dirt soiling the cane. I'll take that advice. Want to preserve my new toy.

Looks like the eaglets to be are being well cared for this a.m. Need to check back before heading for coffee and newspaper.

Lynne2, hope you and Steve are feeling better this a.m.

Shirley, didn't realize you are actually on a battlefield. Like Lynn, thought that was a no no. Yep, lots of ghosts would abound. Wonder if one was name Shingle?

WVsUSAN, how interesting about Vandalia. Used to live in a suburb of Dayton, Oh called Vandalia when I worked for the Air Force.

Margy, hope you get some good sleep. If things get too noisy, call a cop friend.

Hope the fire is over and no person or animals were injured.

Off to check the nest again then coffee. BBL

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Heading for 50 here today. Guess where I am going. Not expecting much if any sunshine but that's OK. Enjoy your day everyone.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING ALL...
Glo, this will be a PERFECT day for photographing those beautiful eagles...ENJOY!
(Then show us your results)

Costume Lady said...

Judie, Gene uses polyurathane...about 6 coats on my canes.

Lynne2 said...

Good Sunny Morning all! Just checking before chores. It's going to be a pretty day!

Lynne2 said...

...well, except for the muddy mess! But I'll take that over snow!

Lori O. said...

Have a great day, all, Glo, Margy, Lynne, Wanda, Judie, Susan . . .

I'm off to get some work done so I can get home and nap! zzzzzzzz

BBL

Oh Shirley, please tell me your friend Bette is improving.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning in Eagleland Friends

Prayer request Tomorrow Kari age around 34 will be having surgery - they are hoping when they do the removal it is NOT cancerous. A dr in town let things go to long. Although she seen him 4different times.

NCSuzan said...

Good Morning fellow nest addicts.It is so good to see sunshine on the nest! Also watching for a pip on Blackwater soon.

Judie said...

Wishing the best for Kari, Dana.

NCSuzan said...

Just caught up on comments.

Dana, of course prayers for Keri.

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning everyone - already
a beautiful day has started - going to be fantastic out there - most of the snow has melted in the yard - a little more is left and will be gone today.
No plans except go out on the deck and
soak up some rays.

Lolly said...

Good morning! Glanced at the temp around 2 am....62! Amazing! We are going to be in the 70's at least for another week. This is bad for the fruit trees. They will start to bud and then along comes a freeze. Presently 64 and cloudy but sun is supposed to peek out this afternoon.

Prayers for your young friend, Dana.

Just got a peek at our eggs a moment ago during an egg roll.

Jack talked with our computer expert and he says to try to clean our laptop with air. So, out to buy a can of air and blow this thing clean. Sure hope it works. Want to burn a CD and get the pics on a CD.

I am beginning to worry about this "gang" of Eagle cane vigilantes. Sounds ominous to me!

hedgie said...

Good late AM. Been lurking.
N ot much going on here, but it is a pretty day. 41° but rising.

Prayers for Kari, Dana.

Tonight is puppy class at Petsmart...don't want to wear Mai out beforehand, but she is being a handfull his morning. First open wound since Sunday!!

hedgie said...

Think Diann asked about the SB seminar.....only Megan from our group made it, Di. No new info. It will take years before they come up with any solutions. They have been very devastating to crops in the area, and have farmers and orchardists hurting along with the master gardeners like Megan who depend on their "crops" for a living. Sad.

wvgal_dana said...

Susan are you feeling better?


Loretta great you was able to locate the nest.
Seeing a head in there might mean sitting on egg/s.

Hedgie-Lynn sorry about Bill's bosses wife Jane but now she is suffering no more. As you well know.
Prayers still continue for Rick for peace and glad family has come to those terms.

Oh Margy that card for the person at your work sounds like a real good one for them. lol Sort of like a grown up titmouse one tee hee

Sad about the situation if it was who you think had the fire Wanda.

I will need to take car into car wash to clean underneath. Looking for lost dog yesterday. Was on two farm lanes pretty muddy.

hedgie said...

Jo, only the snowpiles from shoveling and plowing remain here! Hurray! But driveway is a m uddy mess. Charlie is arranging for a load of gravel, but it will be the end of next week. Guess I've let it go too long without getting any....and every plowing takes some away, of course.

Lolly said...

Here is a fantastic video of Lily, Hope and cubs if you have not seen it.
Hope and cubs playing

Lolly said...

Shirley, when you get on there is a post I want you to see on fb.

Lolly said...

Sorry about the wound, Lynn. Was she playing rough? Hope tonight's class goes well.

I am off now...need to get with it!

Have a great day!

Lolly said...

How is this, Margy? LOL

hedgie said...

Dana, Bill is the boss---it was one of his employee's wife. Thanks.

Lynne2 said...

BWE cam feed gone cattywampus. Keeps getting big lines across it. Been lurking and checking cams, and I think MAYBE there is a pip in one of the eggs there....can't tell for sure.

wvgal_dana said...

Tried to make an online contribuation for Aunt Anna Mae (Meyer) Bracken for Susan B Cure. Don't know if it went through or not have a call into them.

hedgie said...

Lolly, avatar is great!!
Yes, she was playing rough and grabbed me! She also pulled my pants down!

Mema Jo said...

Prayers for Kari, Dana
Prayers for Ric(k), Lynn

Lynne2 said...

our eagle just poofed

Lynne2 said...

and back, not sure if the same one or the other!

Mema Jo said...

Hey there! Droopy drawers!
Funny NOT

Mema Jo said...

Lynn If Mai can't knock you down
she will trip you up! I know it isn't funny - but I don't know what I am going to do if I don't have you 2 to help me laugh.

hedgie said...

LOL, Jo....right you are!!!

movin said...



** gOOD mORNING,

eVERYONE **

C(°ٿ°)D Jim

NCSuzan said...

Looks like maybe a pik in one of the Blackwater eggs but is hard to tell.

PA Nana said...

Good afternoon everyone! It's a sunshine day. Lolly, miss your sunny avatar.

Yes, Lynn, it was me that asked about the seminar. Our local news had a story about them last evening from an exterminator, of course. He said they are venturing out with the warmer temps and are attracted to light; i.e. windows.

I can vouch for their increased activity. Our second floor seems to be their favorite, and that's the bedrooms area. Yikes!! I'm not as bothered because I'm on the first floor. heehee

Of course, he wants us to call a professional if otc measures don't work. Duh.

Prayers for all those requests and others in need.

Judie, "heard" about your eagle cane. What a great surprise from your friendly eagle watchers. Fight Darth off with it if he tries to take it away.

Must get outsdie and soak up some D
L8R

movin said...

Wow, it's way warmer back there, I guess, than it is in So Cal today. It's having trouble breaking 60° and we're having light rains, which will develop into showers later...

Supposedly we will be getting a series of COLD, COLD storms from the Alaska area for the next few days... Remember they started there and not in CA when they reach back into your area.

C(°ٿ°)D Jim

hedgie said...

Okay, Jimbo, we'll remember that!

Heard on the weather this morning that you were do for all that. :(
It is 59° here, but clouds have rolled in and breeze is picking up, as you can see from the nest....so not feeling that warm!

PA Nana said...

Lynn, your comment about Mai pulling your pants down gave me the vision of the the Coppertone girl.

Just had to share that vision. Now to catch up some more.

BTW - It's BEAUTIFUL outside! My daffs are up about an inch but no sign of my snowdrops. ???

Mema Jo said...

Lynn is this where you go?
Pickin’ in the Panhandle, which is also known as the West Virginia State BBQ and Bluegrass Festival.

Mema Jo said...

Trying to watch BWE switch and see
the three eggs as to maybe a pip in one.

hedgie said...

Diann, it WAS from the back, so yeah, coppertone "oldster"!!
Yes, Jo...that's it! Saw that Robyn posted that Marty Stuart is going to be there with The Confederate Railroad!!!!

hedgie said...

Check out this cuteness!
Pudu deer

Judie said...

Okay, Jim has executed a preemptive strike -- we cannot hold him responsible for the cold weather that is to return next week. So, guess we'll blame Andy.

Lynn, I do hope Mai has a good session tonight. I hope even more that she stops with the aggression. Coppertone -- lol.

Got my "do" did this afternoon. Not only am I beauteous BUT I DROVE MY CAR ALL ALONE! Took me back 50 years. Will smack Darth with my Eagle cane if he tries to take the keys away.

Nest look pretty all dappled in sunlight.

No bulbs or other early signs of Spring. Maybe in a few more days.

BBL

floralgirl said...

Run, Darth, run!

hedgie said...

WAY TO GO, JUDIE!!!! Bet that felt like real freedom!!! Is it your right ankle or left? I forget. If it's your right, just don't "mash" the pedal too hard, as they say around here!

Two lovely eggs in view. Belle taking off....probably warm, stiff and hungry!

Lolly said...

I am getting so frustrated! Grrr! Cleaned my laptop and tried again to burn pictures to a cd. Still will not work. Jack is taking it tonight to Mike. Maybe he can figure it out!

Yea, Judie!!!! Freedom! What I really like is there is not so much talk of pain, though I do know it still hurts. Progress is being made.

Poor Andy!! Being blamed on weather the east has not even received yet????

72 here presently. Jack has been out working on the landscape lights and the stream. We have been leaking!! Yikes! Thinks he has found and solved the problem.

Lolly said...

Have BWE and our cam up side by side. Still wonder about our lack of color.??? It is better than it used to be but still mostly black and white.

hedgie said...

Almost time to head out. See you all later!

Mema Jo said...

I would love to have a PUDU deer. Awesome little guy!

Judie - did you stop by the Sheetz on your drive? I bet you felt so free!
That is fantastic progress....

Mema Jo said...

Be a good girl, Mai! You strut your stuff....

Lynne2 said...

have no fear Darth...if you end up with an eagle imprint on your body, you'll have the evidence in the cane, and Judie's confession of sorts right here! LOL!

anyway...JUDIE!!! another MILESTONE in your recovery!!! WOO HOO!

OK so it looks like several of you have seen a pip in the BWE egg as I though I had...won't be long now!

Mema Jo said...

Out the door
It is Alexis dinner time.......

BBL

NCSuzan said...

Hi! both eagles at Norfolk and Sydney. Sydney is doing serious nestorations.

Judie, awesome.

wvgal_dana said...

Haven't caught up on all the comments. Just got to the one day old deer. Thank you so much for putting that on here. I just laughed at the little one. So sweet (:

wvgal_dana said...

Judie you DROVE THE CAR!!!!!!! Since you got that EAGLE CANE you have become a WILD WOMAN lol

Mema Jo said...

Lisa will really keep us updated when things start to happen on her Nest Update 02/16/11:
All quiet on the egg front. Thursday is the first day we would strongly expect to see a hole starting in the first egg. Possible first hatch of our 3 eggs: Feb. 17

Mema Jo said...

What do you all think - is that stick lying across our eagle?

Mema Jo said...

Moon is so full when the clouds don't cover it...

Lynne2 said...

I think the stick is sticking more UP rather than across the eagle but the angle does make it look like it's laying almost on her.

Mema Jo said...

Good Lynn I needed another opinion. When they switch I guess we'll see if it is in the way.

Lynne2 said...

I think the official full moon is early tomorrow morning, maybe? Did mEGGan give us a name for this one?

Mema Jo said...

Checking out TV programs

wvgal_dana said...

Jo I was wondering the same thing earlier but came to the conclusion it is sticking up in air not on back.

Lots of tv tonight Jo and I even have to tape some tee hee

Costume Lady said...

Lynn...Fire last night was a barn behind Dr. Soule's former house. Burned to the ground!

Judie said...

Well, blog cop got me.

Love the PUDU baby. Thanks, Lynn.

Jo, Jo, you won't believe it but on my way home from getting my "do" done, I saw a Sheetz tanker on the road. Thought my highlight chemicals had gotten to me.

Also, Jo, hope you had a fun Alexis time as I guess you're home now.

Lynn2, plead the 5th. My confession was coerced. Have to blame Andy because Jim has bailed on CA responsibility.

Yep, wild woman with a cane on the loose in D.C., Dana. Hope you're doing okay.

Lolly, I am so sorry you and Jack are leaking. Other than that, I hope the laptop gets fixed -- maybe the leaking, too.

Lynn, left ankle so this car is not a problem. Going to check to see if you've posted about Mai's training tonight.

BBL

Judie said...

Just looked. From the camera angle, it looks as if a small twig like piece of wood is above Belle's back but not resting on her back. May have been blown by wind. We'll know after a switch or a change in position.

Judie said...

Wanda, all animals were safe from the barn fire, please?

stronghunter said...

Hi,

Getting ready to go upstairs. Worked hard today. My brain has quit.

NatureNut said...

Evening Everyone!
Belle is lovely in the 6 PMish light! Can't believe Full Moon isn't until Fri. It's really big now.

stronghunter said...

I am not actually on the battlefield proper, just close by. But I am sure that plenty of the action took place around here. There are homes on the official battlefield property, though.

And, actually, it is kind of hard to say where the battlefield ends. I drive through areas where there are signs that say you are passing through a battlefield when you are on a main highway. I pass through both Wilderness and Chancellorsville on the way home from work.

Costume Lady said...

JUDIE, I don't know about the animals yet. I will let you know after reading the paper in the morning.

paula eagleholic said...

Evening all.

Busy day at work, didn't even get a chance to peek in on the nest or the blog.

I forgot to email Steve about the sound...I take it we have none at present?

Took Nugz for a walk tonight...couple of sprinkles out there.

Caltrans has 2 eggs, 2nd one laid on the 15th, I think.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, and the Seal Rocks nest on Catalina has 2 eggs...TH shouldn't be far behind.

paula eagleholic said...

Speaking of the TH nest, both are there now

Mema Jo said...

Going to watch Criminal Minds....
Talk with you all later....

hedgie said...

Finally made it back.....actually got home an hour ago, but had to feed Mai and ME----got a pizza from the Hut!
Mai was a hyper handful tonight. Would NOT settle down. Little rip.

Criminal Minds is on.

Wanda, thanks for info on barn. So that WASN'T the Lemaster place??

Judie, you've got email!

Loretta, sent you email yesterday!

paula eagleholic said...

Lily's cubs are a boy and a girl. The naming contest starts tomorrow, not sure but I think it will be done on FB.

Judie said...

Thanks, Wanda.

Well, it's that time again. Tomorrow is a wannabe adult day. Hope to finish up serial homicide lecture so next week can be videos of interviews then the exam.

Shirley, had a thought about the student who hides her text. Maybe you should try this: "Oh, by-the-way, I see you left your book hidden behind others on the shelf -- you might want to take it home to do some reading." Have to admit, that is something I would do but then, I am not always nice.

Headed across the hall to bed. Turning my light off but will leave the night light on for others coming in, headed back the hallway, up the stairs, to the tub, stumbling around in the dark, or coming in the from CA. Pleasant dreams.

magpie said...

and be sure to leave your cane nearby in case we need that too !
Good Night Judie xoxo

magpie said...

everything upstairs has been quiet, so far...confirmed new neighbors upstairs, one couple, one 3 year old...they have not finished moving in yet.
maybe the parents work, and the child will go to day care

paula eagleholic said...

both eagles still on the nest at TH...wonder if there will be an egg laying tonight?

wvgal_dana said...

I think that would be better Margy than an 8 yr old.

magpie said...

Yes, Dana...think so...

Okay Paula, going to check TH - don't think I can be on egg watch with you and Lolly like we were last year - I have to work tonight

xoxo later pals

magpie said...

Oh it is beautiful, at Two Harbors !!

magpie said...

but not as beautiful as NCTC !

magpie said...

but they have infrared and we don't

big :(

magpie said...

Lolly:

I like the added sun on your avatar ☺ ☼

hedgie said...

New Criminal Minds version---like a couple of the actors real well.
Ad time.

Hi, Margy. You have email.
Hope you have a good night. Also hoping that the new neighbors are quiet and repectful.

OMG---just saw preview for Blue Bloods episode Fri. My Tom Selleck's character is in the hospital....:(

BEagle said...

Hello Eagle folks.

I looked at TH and there are two adults on the nest at this time. Haven't seen that for awhile.

Paula, I think TH eagles they are coming up next!
Which nest is the Seal Rocks? Is that PH or WE?

Yea for Judie! Go girl.

Looks like a sticky is laying across Belle. It must be suspended above and looks like it's across her beak.

Time for nightly exercise i.e. hitting the hay!

Good night and prayers for you ♥

Lolly said...

Good evening! LOL Kind of late, aren't I? Jack took my laptop to Mike. He thinks there is something wrong with the windows program I have been trying to use to burn cd's. Now using a software program and have been burning cd's. Finally!

Sorry, Lynn, sounds like Mai was not the good girl she was supposed to be for you.

Need to go look at the TH nest.

Lolly said...

Oh, wow, have not ever seen two eagles in a nest at night and a minute ago they were both tucked. Double wow!

Lolly said...

Eagle in the nest at TH just laid an egg I think!

Lolly said...

Eagle was acting "funny", then called out, and the other eagle came over and stuck it's head in the egg cup. It is a deep egg cup!

Lolly said...

That nest is HUGE! Maybe did not lay an egg, but they are acting strange.

paula eagleholic said...

Wray is at the WE nest, too. I swear K81 just told K82 to hop off that rock and lay an egg!

What's going on in CA tonight?

magpie said...

It sure is Lolly, deep...

keep watching, this could make you two for two on the egg drop there


I've lost still cam, FWS thing?

magpie said...

WE is kind of gnarly for me

both those sites really slow down my computer


guess it could be birthing season out thataway

magpie said...

Full Moon "goes full" at 0336 Friday morning the 18th so it will look plenty full Thursday night before that happens

magpie said...

I think it is so neat that K81 stands by for the egg drop, believe he pretty much did the same last year

Lolly said...

LOL I was not even paying any attention at all to their wing blings! Guess 81 did not lay an egg after all. LOL Need to pay more attention to who's on first.

magpie said...

got my still cam back for NCTC
and sound turned way up at TH while I get ready for work

Lady Blackwater is not asleep yet I don't think

Lolly said...

What's the problem with the WE cam? Looks like the nest is under water. LOL


Please excuse any lack of H's. My h key is sticking and have to press hard. Sometimes I forget.

BEagle said...

Turtle Creek just laid their second one!

Mema Jo said...

Finished my TV shows - need to read comments....

magpie said...

Lady BW seems to have been checking eggs when cam when night-night


WE was all discumbobulated for me Lolly,
I've lost NCTC again
and I have to get ready for work !
will check things at work computers..

Good Night Everyone - especially those on active Egg Drop Watching !

God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥

Lolly said...

Night Jo! Maybe an eaglet at BW tomorrow!

wvgal_dana said...

Good tv tonight new Criminal show yes good actors. Like the show.

Prayers for Kari's surgery tomorrow.

Prayers for Bette hope she is doing better.

Night leaving with prayers for those that need them whether people or creatures.

Mema Jo said...

Well, Mai! I wonder why little miss
sociable misbehaved. Hope it wasn't anything serious.

The cheetahs and lions are sleeping. Well the lions are not in their usual den area - just one adult! Beware - 7 lions on the loose.

Mema Jo said...

Looks as though everything is calm in the nest! Time for me to find mine..
Lunch tomorrow with co-workers - Catch up time.

Good Night Everyone
Sound sleep and pleasant dreams
Prayers for all of God's creatures large and small.........
Hugs to All .......♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

paula eagleholic said...

Margy, WE is gnarly for everyone!

Can't stay up on egg watch tonight! Will have to check them both tomorrow!

hedgie said...

Well, phone calls have kind of messed up the end of my show......paused it so now trying to watch. Then to catch the news.
Worrying about Christie....no return call from her this evening....she's supposed to fly out of Indianapolis at 7:30AM, heading home.
Got a Valentine from my sister today---there was a PetSmart gift card enclosed!! Cool.

hedgie said...

Kind of sorry to hear of so much egg-laying activity out west. That bad weather coming in doesn't sound like the right kind for roosting eagles and eggs. :(

Would love to stay and chat, but just too exhausted. This girl is wearing me out...and down.

Prayers for all. Will see you sometime tomorrow. Supposedly Carolyn is bringing a co-worker so I can do her taxes.....but she fialed to firm things up, so now I DON'T KNOW.....

Lolly said...

Night, Lynn! So sorry you are feeling so tired this evening. Get to bed and get a good nights sleep.

magpie said...

Okay everyone last call for me too
thanks Paula for the WE info..

Lynn - hoping you will hear from your precious one Christie...

Hope Sleep is Sweet, and restorative for all...

because after all...
Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of our lives ☺

Prayers for Dana's young friend Kari for the surgery Thursday...
and prayers for wellness for all


xox ☺

Lolly said...

Nite Margy! See ya tomorrow!☺

Lolly said...

I have decided the TH cam has frozen. Those two have not moved in ages.

PA Nana said...

Must say goodnight. Our Mike arrived this afternoon for a few days (I hope) and I'll need my rest to deal with these guys.

Ms. Coppertone, I hope you soon get a handle on that little girl Mai.

Meggan, hope you have a very prosperous year and if you need to get rid of some flowers...I like white daisies. Seem to have trouble growing them here.

Prayers for all needs and wants.
God bless you all.

Lolly said...

Now the TH eagles are moving around. 82 hopped down to the egg cup and stuck her head down in it. The 81 came over, pushed her aside, stuck his head in the egg cup. She is now back on the rock and he is once again messing with the egg cup. Crazy birds!

Lolly said...

Jack is watching the STARS. Think I am going to read and keep an eye on TH.

Costume Lady said...

A lot of good TV tonight, more tomorrow night. American Idol is getting down to the nitty gritty now...very interesting.
Survivor comes on at the same time, so, we will have to tape it every Wed. Looks like it will be good.

GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
BLESSINGS AND PRAYERS FOR ALL

Lolly said...

Nite all! No action at TH.

Sweet dreams!

magpie said...

HELLO any night owls...
will check in from time to time to see if you are chirping

I cannot get Two Harbors up....security protected here at work :(

magpie said...

Belle seems to be awake...

I'm awake, good, I have company ☺

magpie said...

Belle is tucked in, lots of nightlight our nest guess the moon is out in Shepherdstown

Lady Blackwater seems to be tucked in also

Finland Water nest has sunlight

Lori O. said...

How bout that pretty Belle - can really see her this morning!

Good Morning Margy!

magpie said...

morning Lori !

I just went outside real quick, Moon is setting...looks beautiful, good thing daylight is approaching soon...

magpie said...

can you get Blackwater Lori...?
she looks pretty...
always does...
this could be the BIG day for that Eagle pair and one of the 3 egglets...
would be right on schedule if so

magpie said...

got some paperwork to take care of here...back soon as I can...

Have a Good Day...

Lori O. said...

OH how WONDERFUL! I just checked in on Lady Blackwater. The thought of seeing an eaglet is more than I can handle! I'll be a giddy mess. Can you imagine when Belle & Lib's eaglets come?

So you know when Belle & Lib's eggs are expected to hatch?

I hope you're having a great morning and got some sleep yesterday!

Lori O. said...

Belle is craning her neck underneath each side and front adjusting something under her. Egg? Maybe she's just getting comfy.

magpie said...

Lori
generally
incubation is 32-36 days
first egg NCTC Feb 5
Second egg Feb 8

someone else will do better on those facts and put month and date names on them for you for hatching expectation

LADY OR LORD BLACKWATER OFF THE 3 EGGS

Lori O. said...

I saw LB off the eggs! Get's you tickled doesn't it?!?!?

magpie said...

sure does Lori...
sure there will be posts on here about it through the day..hope you can check in...

I better start finishing my work...before 0800 -

In case I don't make it back:

See You next time...and
Best Wishes everyone for a good day...

xox

Lori O. said...

Thanks Margy. You too.
Be sure to get some rest. :)

Lori O. said...

If my calculations are correct the first NCTC egg could hatch Tuesday, March 8.

That would be 32days from Feb. 5 - I included the laid date of 2/5. ☺

floralgirl said...

Fly in! and a switch

magpie said...

wow.....
two at NCTC with a switch and sweet egg-tending


and the 3-egglets are all alone briefly at BWE---

need a split screen here !

floralgirl said...

Today's nest weather-Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 60s. South winds 5 to 10 mph.
Don't forget, full moon Friday- 3:36 A.M.- the full snow moon

floralgirl said...

Tuesday's barn fire

Lori O. said...

Good morning Megan.

BIG BUMMER - piglets died in the barn fire. Ah that breaks my heart.

Lori O. said...

Thanks for the Barn Fire link.

I'm a total news hound so I really appreciate it.

Have a great day all. I'll be busy for a little while trying to keep my focus. I'll check back later and hope they get a healthy eaglet at Blackwater today!

Lynne2 said...

Good morning all!

Sorry that Mai was such a pill at class last night Lynn. UGH.

Sure is going to be a pretty day! Too bad I'll be at work for it! Maybe I'll open the office window and let some fresh air in...

Anyone doing the Backyard Bird Count that starts tomorrow? I'm all ready!

There have been DOZENS of small earthquakes in Arkansas over the last week or so, and this morning there was a 4.0. Big enough to make OUR local news! Much investigation going on as to why. Some speculation that the gas and oil company pumping waste water at high pressure into the earth may have something to do with it...MTBR

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
I guess all eyes will be on Lord and Lady Baltimore today. I'm sure Lisa has her eyes peeled on that nest. Just like waiting on a grandchild to be born:)

Saddened to hear about the baby piggys perishing in that barn fire.
It could have been worse...our neighbor (Lemaster) keeps his hefers on that property, but they must have been in the field. Don't know who that property belongs to.
$125,000 loss is not a lot for a barn...must not have had very much equipment in there. Hope they had insurance!

Lori O. said...

Good morning Lynne,
Very interesting about the earthquake, gas/oil company connection. Hmmmm.

Lolly - love the eagles with the heart AND sunshine! You're good at that!

Lori O. said...

Good morning Wanda, to you and Capt. Gene who makes the greatest beans!

Hope everybody got their dose of Criminal Minds last night.

BB this evening. Hoping for an eaglet at BWater. ☺

Have a joy-filled day!

Lori O. said...

Oh - just checked Two Harbors.
There's an eagle on the side of the nest, but no one sitting on the nest cup. It's still dark there, but easy to see.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning eagle friends! Looks like 2 eggs for us this year, huh? Hope everyone is having a great day! It is beautiful here, has been for a couple of days now. I wonder if spring fever is fatal? I am riding down to the lake this afternoon. Need to take some measurements on the boat for the new furniture we got for it!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

There have been stories about horse farms here in Raleigh County and in Greenbrier County that were owned by Grady Whitlock (used to own car lots). Dozens of horses found starved to death on both farms. Animal cruelty is so horrible!!

magpie said...

I'm very saddened by the loss of the baby pigs in the barn which caught fire. Thank you Megan, for the link, though tough to read about...

I believe the cows were in the pasture, Wanda

Good Morning, Sissy, and everyone else ☼

dentist app't in a short while for me

be back on much later today...
xoxo

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Can ya'll get on the NBG cam? I have not been able to all morning. :(

Lynne2 said...

from FB
Eagles at Norfolk Botanical Garden
Eagle Cam is currently down -- we're working to get it fixed, hang tight!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Thanks for the info, I can quit restarting then!! LOL!!

Costume Lady said...

Same here Lynne, but BLACKWATER is nice and bright and ready for chicklet #1:)

Good Morning ALL in Eagleland

Seen the fly in at our nest just awhile ago and then had to shut down and restart computer.

Please remember to pray for Kari's surgery today. Thank you

wvgal_dana said...

The guys that lost the little chic/pug but up some flyers. Yesterday while I was out I had more printed in larger print and posted them around. I pray someone has that poor little one inside. Cold night.

I looked more around again. Wonder why my gas was so low then remember 2 hrs of riding around the day before. lol gas goes if you drive dana lol

Pitch yourself as Norma would say Margy at the Dentist.

Lynne2 yep open a window.

Sorry about those piggies :( sad. There is a farm here and whenever we would pass it (and I still do) always look for the new piggies.

Looks like food in the nest. Wonder what was brought in.

wvgal_dana said...

See our two eggs turning and picking at the fluff and then wiggle wiggle down. (:

wvgal_dana said...

Watching BWE and she turned too fast. Don't even think she raised up.

Costume Lady said...

Did you see that brave or stupid blackbird at the underedge of our nest? He may be BRUNCH, if he's not careful:)

Lynne2 said...

LOL Wanda, just noticed your new "hunk" avatar!

Well, I've lurked as long as I can but must get ready for work now. Hope everyone has a great day!

Costume Lady said...

NBG is back up:)

Costume Lady said...

Lynne, those two are part of Denise's Pool Boys Team;)

Costume Lady said...

Have a good day, Lynne and don't forget to open the window;)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Thanks for the heads up Wanda!! Love that cam. The only way it could be better would be if it were Belle and Lib in that nest!!!

Costume Lady said...

LOL, Lori...Capt. Father Gene made those "Gene's Beans" for our Soup Kitchen and loved them...have requested to have them again:)

Costume Lady said...

It would be wonderful if our cam was that good. Maybe someday.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Good morning er-e-one!!

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Sharon (:

Yes Wanda for some reason little birds I guess are just not big enough for food for Lib or Belle. That happens often a little bird in or around the nest.

wvgal_dana said...

Does anyone ever have their toolbar at the top disappear but when you put the cursor up there it is there????

paula eagleholic said...

I would estimate egg hatching dates for our nest at around 36-38 days...which would be March 13-15 for the first egg and March 16-18 for the second egg.

paula eagleholic said...

Dana, I have mine at the bottom of my screen, and I have it set to do that as well. If you want to change it, right click on the toolbar and select properties, then uncheck auto hide. Then your toolbar will always stay on your screen

paula eagleholic said...

Are we still without sound?

hedgie said...

Morning all. Waiting for Carolyn and her co-worker to arrive.
Sad news....10 pigs (2 adult a nd 8 piglets) died in the barn fire Tues. night. Another sow was badly burned. :(

Don't see any action at BWE----she hasn't been off the eggs since I brought cam up, so don't know if there are any pips or not.

magpie said...

Paula
Thank you for the egg hatching information,
sorry I mis-stated it earlier...
will cut and paste your update to an email to Lori !

I do not have sound at live feed
but I do have a dentist app't in 20 mins

so, bye !

wvgal_dana said...

Paula it even takes the mininize and the red x away. Can't see it only happens sometimes. If you put cursor at top it is there ???

Red said...

Good morning everyone. I too have been wondering when the due dates are. Thanks Paula. I'm watching a lot lately but being the quiet man, I only speak occasionally.

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Hope your day will be a good one. Thanks for info on Hatch dates for our nest Paula

Red said...

Dana, most people have the blue task bar at the bottom of the screen. You can move it by closing all open windows then click your mouse on it and hold the mouse button down then you can drag the task bar to the bottom.

paula eagleholic said...

Morning REd and Glo...

Dana you are talking about a different toolbar...Go to view toolbars and check the ones that you want to see all the time...you might have to fool around with it a little bit to get what you want.

paula eagleholic said...

REd, I think she's talking about the toolbar in IE

wvgal_dana said...

Yes IE whole top line including the miniz button square button red x button back button forward button
file edit view favorites too help all of the top sometimes just disappears but if you put cursor up there it is there.

Lolly said...

Good morning! It is just so unbelievable the beautiful weather we are all having. A little scary, wondering when winter will hit again. Love seeing Belle sitting in the sunsine.

Going to do a little house work and then do serious computer work. Jack has the external drive working now, have backed up all pictures, and now I am going to do serious burning of cd's.

Picked two daffodils yesterday. Most daffodils are going to be blooming in a couple of weeks. The ones by my greenhouse were damaged, so do not know how they will do. Also, saw where my Mt. Laurel was also damaged. Grrrr!

paula eagleholic said...

Anyone else hear a dog barking?

Lolly said...

Just realized we have sound again. I hear the children on the playground. Waoooooo!

Lolly said...

I heard it Paula. Funn! I had TH up and was listening to it and enjoying the sound. I closed it down, continued to hear sound and was thinking it was coming from TH. Duh! I had closed it!!!

Lolly said...

That was supposed to be "funny".

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning - I am on the run!!

Beautiful day and oh how I wish I were
able to be on the Appalachian Trail.
My hiking days are over :(

I am off for lunch with co-workers from my past - I love getting with them
They always make me feel how grateful I am to be retired!

All nest look calm - I'll be in touch
this afternoon.

Lynne - Jenny always does Cornell's backyard count! I may attempt it this year.......... Keep me posted..
