Thanks for the Friday Thread!
Thank you for the call over, Paula. Morning, Steve.
DANA, what time of day did you get your crab legs?
I would like to take GG at 4pm, because she gets played out by 5pm, and that is when the used to start serving the crab legs when they were on the buffet.
I thought, now that they serve them by the platefull, they may serve them whenver you want???
Good morning! Cloudy day here, but 63. No real plans for the day, but know I do need to get to the grocery store.
Wanda, that is really interesting the food that you received. Makes it interesting to see what meals you can plan with what you have...it's a fun challenge!
Maybe Shirley will get on today at school and let us know about Luna. She said she was having computer problems at home.
Really miss the sick folks. Jack and I have been so healthy....knock on wood!!!!
Going to Denton tomorrow. Not sure what time we are going. Joseph has a soccer game at 9 and a basketball game at 11. Jacob also has a t-ball practice in there sometime, as well. I would like to make the soccer game, but that means leave here before 8. Not sure we can do that!! LOL
Wanda, what a great deal on the food!
Sounds really windy again at the nest, but love the sun shine. We have possible rough weather ahead of us. Also, early next week possible dipping down to 32. Nurseries all have their spring plants but have not started that yet. Still too early for me. Just still cleaning up.
Paula, back to the beach this weekend?
Good Red Friday Morning and the sun is shining and the bulldozer is digging out yonder. I slept like a baby with the help of the muscle relaxer.
The only good thing about digging a foundation is the smell of the earth and knowing there is a young couple with butterflies about building a new home.
Going to previous thread to read..
Thanks Steve for taking care of us -
have a good weekend.
Savannah is till on two eggs. No hatching yet.
Lots of fish at BWE....and chick is sleeping in the fluff :)
still
Lolly, maybe beach next weekend....the water needs to be turned on before I can start painting :)
Hi, Gang!
Thanks, Steve, for the new Friday thread, and thanks for the call over,
Paula!
Well,I was busily typing away on my homework, when I heard at least 3 birds hit the patio window--hard! Of course I ran to investigate, and sure enough, our Cooper's Hawk was on the telephone wire overhead, looking for a late breakfast! She's B-A-A-A-C-K!
She didn't catch anything, though. Hope she has better luck in ANOTHER yard!
It looks like a crisp, bright day at our nest. Must be a slight breeze there, because some leaves are moving around. What a pretty sight!
Okay, back to work on homework for me! Later, alligators! :o]
Oh--Mema Jo, I'm so glad that you got a good night's sleep! Hope the neck keeps improving. Prayers for you!
And Sharon, how are you doing? I hope you aren't too sore. ((HUGS))!!
OK, gotta get busy again. Back later!
BWE chick finally moved...guess he was really snoozin
I see big feeties at BWE ☺
Off to start my day! Jack just reminded me...we are going to Borders Books. Big store is closing and have a sale. Hmmm?? We shall see...will head to the cookbooks and the children's books.
Have a great day!
Wanda it was around 4pm on a Saturday
Good Friday Morning Everyone

staying home one more day to clobber the cold germs...
time for some chicken soup and all that jazz
Andrea: you are always so busy, I can hardly keep up with your posts !
Best wishes for a good day everyone,
Hope that everyone with ailments improves by the minute..
ttfn xoxo x
Good morning! Did NOT go to breakfast this AM....slept good last night and still feel lousy. :(
Charlie is here....gravel delivery imminent. Carolyn should be here soon.
Have not caught up with you all yet.
That 5 second refresh at Carolina Raptor is driving me crazy.....no sign of a hatch yet from what I can see.
Grravel is here.

Andy - sounds like your birds were trying to make a fast getaway!
Lynn and Margy - very glad you both decided to stay home today and will continue to feel better..
Lolly - good book hunting! When are you ever going to meet up with Zach?
OUr nest is MT, 2 eggs in view
Eatin time at BWE
Little one at BWE getting a good meal :)
Time to cover up at BWE, little chick has a full crop.
Our nest is still MT
EGGLETS have been unattended for a long time...freeze their little tails off:)
Yes, Jo...scrolling down and SUBMITTING vote is very important!
Vote won't count, if you don't!:(
I forget sometimes and have to go back...duh!
Uncovered since 11:40am
I haven't had time to look at trail cam photos in over a week. Might do that today while drying my hair.
Karla, Donny and Denise are in OBX for the weekend, so no Family dinner or videos tonight.
Hope GG feel well enough to go to China City this evening!
Taking a break
BBILW
Hi all....still on road to recovery. Not happening fast enough as far as I'm concerned! I just feel like an energy vacuum.
How long have our eggs been alone??
Margy and Lynn, are you both feeling better yet?
I need to gather some energy to take the dogs out. My Mother in Law is on her way to visit me!! She should be here soon. Hope all is well with everyone, I'll check in later!
Hi, all!
Temp is 43 degrees in Sharpsburg - does anyone know how long the eggs can remain uncovered and still be viable for hatching???
Lynne: someone noted they have been uncovered since 11:40
hi Fuz, yes I just read back, it's been an hour. They should be fine. The veteran nest watchers on here have seen this happen before. My big scarey time was when the first egg was uncovered for almost 2 hours early on. Still, it's really hard not to worry...
Oh, hi, Paula, it was you who noted that.
Just hope Lib or Belle is near enough to stop an egg-stealing interloper!
yeah, me too! but I am quite sure that one is very close by keeping watch.
Wanda, that is quite some food assortment!! Glad that the produce is the kind that keeps!
Jo, have seen dozer and the saw-yers out back here today, too. Nothing good about it here. :(
Margy says you see the bright side. I'm the downer!
Diann, how did you end up with ANOTHER man in the house? Goodness, you are surrounded! Make them work for their keep!! Is Jim still working the long hours?
Andy, so unusual to see you in the early part of the day.
Gentleman Jim, too! Hello to you both. Sure wish we had some of your expected high temps.
Carolyn has gone to Subway to get lunch. Old fence is down. SIL's bro due anytime to help put up the new one.
Margy, work schedule is out----Carolyn showed it to me. What a BEAR of a schedule!
Eggs Alone at NCTC
dosing up on Vitamin D and K
Yours isn't bad, Margy.....looks like all 9-5's.....Carolyn has lots of 12's!
Should have said 9-5 starting 3/12! 8-4 til then.
Wow - just checked in and saw only the eggs - no Lib or Belle.
and I just read back too to Paula's comments, since 11:40
The sun is shining brightly on our egglets and temp is 43°, they will be alright. We have seen this happen in the past.
hOPE and Lilly are awake and facing the camera...
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Yea, people on Outdoor are freaking out....first experience for them. I'm sure eagle is nearby. It's 44° and sunny.
New cubs are visible too.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Hi everyone!
At least our sound is working so we may be able to hear Lib and Belle.
copy that on the schedule Lynn
some of it is possibly temporary during training
I have some daytime things to attend to with the police computer...
and
have sure done my share of 10's, 12's, and 8's in the past almost 23 years
but I want to pull my load like the rest of the staff
and a few 16's
watching the nest with interest...
with the rest of you
glad to hear Steve's mother is coming to visit Lynne
LET HER HELP YOU....
AS MUCH AS YOU CAN
I'm trustful also that our Eagle Family is fine...
it is curious and always interesting when a pattern changes, just like that
Hedgie and Magpie Glad to see you are both taking some rest time. Its time to get well for spring. Lynne 2 Glad to see you on here even briefly. Keep taking those meds, fluids and lots of rest as you can.
Wanda. I am thrilled at the way your food and clothing ministry is working out. I love to read about how it is growing and coming together. Dex and I work on Sunday. We just might find some kids to make placemats. I loved that idea.
Hello everyone...
lots of us on here right now
joined at the nest
HOME AGAIN!
Whoa Babe! Come on back to your eggs.
I have no clue what time our eagle
took off....... In fact I don't think anyone was watching when it happened.
WOW Just now returned I am thinking it is Belle...... Need to watch
and I lost sound immediately
okay, Welcome Home Mom (or Dad ?)
WIGGLE, WIGGLE:)
YEAH!!!!
I lost sound too.
I'm gonna guess - is that LIB?
Experts weigh in please.
OK, amateur guessers, like me, who do you think is on the nest?
Oooooo - got a closer up!
NCTC is playing with the cam:)
If this is Lib, he seems concerned about not seeing Belle. He just keeps looking all around, intently looking.
Sound is back...cam still zoomed in.
Knew one would return when I stopped watching, lol
Thanks Glo...
I hope YOU are feeling better too, missed an oppurtunity to say that earlier
okay I reset Outdoor had the sound for the Evinrude ad, but now just click click click I think it is the comments goin on, sound in and out for me
AND, the view looks bigger
is it just me ?
ok I understand zooom zoom thanks for that info started when I was resetting
Yea, sound is in and out and static
I think that's Lib
But not 100% sure
Paula, Wanda, Margy, Jo ...
Can you please tell me who is on the nest, so I can worry about the other one?
I know ya'll are busy working.
God Bless you Paula! LIB! Thank you.
makes the still cam more zoomed in also - - ?? I think
Lynn: You are allowed to take pictures but leave the labor to the work crew ! That is a Command, not a Recommendation !
OH! What's going on with the cam pic?? Someone is zooming?!
wasn't ignoring you Lori...I didn't know and I knew someone with better Eagle Eyes would talk to you ☺
Yes, both get zoomed...still pic, too.
Lori, I am clueless, but I am guessing Belle.
Lynn, you are getting a new Mai fence? Cool!
I would say that Belle is in the nest now
Earlier I thought it was Lib
So - old timer or not I'm still guessing unless they are in the nest
together..
I think Belle, too, Lynne.
Don't know if the zoomed cam makes her/him look larger or it is actually Big Belle:)
Best thing is that we see the eggs are covered. I feel confident they will always come back to incubate the eggs -I am just fearful something will fly in and crack an egg! That would do me in!
Do you see the zoom on the live feed or the still cam.. Duhhhhh I need to know!
Jo, have you looked at my NEW avatar. You can see from this view what Jayden is playing with. I think it must be one of Dustin's games:) I can see his mouth is puckered up and he is telling Karla what he is doing so he won't get into trouble;)
I think it is on both Mema Jo...first time I have been here to experience it...
Paula thinks it affects both also
Yes, they are both zoomed
Watch that "service error 503"
going to check back out for a little while
hope the Crab Feast is a happy one Wanda...
and hope the rest of everyone's day goes okay too
xo
Yes, Wanda I zoomed in on his picture.
You are going to miss him this evening!
I am so please to read your grocery list - awesome. I think I'll slip in
for dessert one Tuesday! You serve coffee? Once again I'll tell you that
you and Gene are doing "GOOD"
Paula - who actually controls the
'zooming' ?
I need to rest my neck!
BBILW
Yep, that Lib is being his awesome Dad self again. :)
GLO, a big hug and high five for the Double Eagle picture victory. What an incredible picture and apparently the judge(s) thought so too.
And, WANDA - what a food haul you got. Can I just say Praise God!?!!! WV is lucky to have you and the Captain.
Take a nap, Jo. Rest your neck. We'll wake you up when Belle returns. :-)
We have zoomed in a bit because on our closed circuit high res monitors it looked like one of the eggs was possibly doing something... We'll see...
By the way, one bird was nearby the whole time the eggs were uncovered.
Looks more like Belle on the still cam
We control the camera zoom from the computer that supplies the video feed.
Hi Steve, thanks for the update....good to know for SURE that one was nearby!
Yes, Jo, dessert and coffee with every meal. They are goin to love the cake we have for them Tuesday...Strawberry/cream jelly roll type cake and vanilla yogurt.
Little early for a hatch....but thanks, Steve.
The sound is kind of in and out...
How cool to be able to watch on your Super Duper cam Steve!
take care of that neck Jo!
Thanks for info, Steve...we were pretty sure one of the eagles was around when egglets were uncovered:) Good to hear that we were right.
We could have another FIRST...a preemie eaglet;)
I hope that's what you were looking for, Steve, and not something else.
LOL! A premglette! BTW, what is our first hatch ETA?
going to go lay down til my MIL gets here.....geez, I sure am TIRED these days!!
Hope you get to feeling better Lynne.
Pneumonia does that to you, Lynne. If your M-I-L wamts to cook or clean, LET HER:)
Lynne, 35 days for first egg is March 12th...I am guessing the 14th-16th for first egg
I wonder how many people Outdoor Channel has posting on their blog?
There's a whole other world of people over there who were panicked when the eggs were alone -- like I was!
It's like another galaxy - aliens -I wonder if they (Outdoor Chanel bloggers) know we're over here watching too???
Thanks PAULA!
I am writing that on my calendar.
Shhh, Lori ☺
That's great timing if the first egg hatches between March 14th-16. Daylight Saving Time starts on Sunday, 3/13, so we'll get to watch later.
And the moon will be out too! Pray for clear skies.
I won't tell "the aliens" we're here. I love this little world we have.
And, IT'S FRIDAY!!!
CRC is confirming a hatch on their FB page.
Suz said on fb that an eaglet has hatched this morning in Savannah's nest! Wahoo!
Missed the uncovered eggs. Hope there were wrong about the egg showing something. Too early!
Did not buy any books. Still only 25% off. Need a bigger discount!
I thought I saw some shell a little while ago, but wasn't sure. Looks like you can see some now, too.
And Dad brought over some food to Savannah a little while ago as well ☺
Feeding was just going on at Savannah's nest but could not see anything.
Jack is heading back into town to buy a new TV for the study. Our old console TV is finally dying. LOL It was our 2nd color TV, ancient and in a beautiful cabinet. Now the problem of where to get rid of the thing. I think if we haul it to Laurel's, and pay $20 the recycle folks up there will come and pick it up.
HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. -- One of Savannah's eggs has hatched, 33 days after it was laid at the Carolina Raptor Center in Huntersville.
Savannah and her partner Derek have been caring for two eggs since January.
On Friday, one of the eaglets broke through its shell. The eaglet is so small that it's difficult to see on the live eagle cam, but officials at the Raptor Center confirm that the eaglet is moving about.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yay for feeding at CRC.
Still zoomed in at our nest.
Need to play catch up again....but just saw on FB that CRC DID have a hatch late this morning. I have had the cam up all day and have yet to see evidence of same.
Carolyn just left. Charlie and Donald are about 3/4's finished replacing the fence.
Margy, as the "senior" operator, you SHOULD have the best hours!!!!!
Lynne, I am glad that your MIL is coming----too bad she couldn't have made it earlier in the week.
Just an FYI, today was day 38 for the first egg at CRC, not 33.
Lynn, what style of fence are you putting in?
Wind is quite strong at our nest......can't heard anything else, but the sound is intermittant.
Savannah is sitting tight....
BWE babes are being fed.
Yes, Lynne, new Mai fence....old one was just not looking terribly secure---19 yrs. old....rusty and bent and only 3-4 ft. high in places because of (I assume) the deer hooves snagging it when they jump. Mai has not made any attempts to jump----but I don't trust her!!!!
Here is a live streaming view of CRC----much better than the other site:
Streaming CRC
Lots of bird noises on that cam, too!!!
Just saw the CRC baby raise its head!!!
Hi,
I am back on the Internet this evening. Whatever happened to my connection has fixed itself. I thought it might.
We had professional development all day today, but I left for home as soon as we were released. Nice to be able to do that after the long day yesterday.
So they thought something might be going on with one of the eggs? But it is still early? Hmmm. I guess we wait and see. But our eagle is sitting there calmly as if everything is fine.
New live feed for CRC
Click on the play arrow..supposed to have sound, too.
http://www.wcnc.com/live-stream/Watch-live--Savannah-cares-for-newborn-eaglet-117414844.html
I see Lynn posted it too. I checked it out earlier today, but thought it was just a video.
Nope, Paula, it's live and LOTS of sound!!!
Hi, Shirley! welcome "back" to the land of bloggers!!
Guess it's going to stay zoomed in all weekend???
My long break gives me 145 comments to read BBILW
Checking out the Carolina Raptor Center. Huntersville has changed somewhat since I was last there, but some things are so familiar.
I found my mother's old house just a few miles from the raptor center. It is directly across the street from the elementary school where I went to first and second grade. One building remains. It was the school library, as I recall.
The raptor center is on Sample Road. My father's name was Sample. I suppose there is a connection, but I don't know.
Nice to be back, Lynn. I have a busy weekend ahead. We are going to see the Globetrotters tomorrow night. Hunter enjoys them.
Fence is done!!! One less thing to worry about. Miss Mai has been really on edge today....so she just had her first romp since this morning!
Feeding at CRC. Derek is walking around in circles showing off his "catch".
I'm not really alert yet - only 49 comments to read.........
My father's middle name was Sample. . . a family name.
Cool, Shirley.....how did you do that...on Google earth??
I love the Globetrotters, BTW. I'm sure Hunter will be thrilled!!
Where are they playing?
Clouds have rolled in here, wind is sharp and temp is dropping......
Shannon just sent me pics of his mothers' neighbor's SharPei....a lovely one! No mix, but she's a Mini.
Shirley, the name thing would sure have me doing research!! That is neat. Do you know how many generations called Huntersville home?
I have a book about the Hunter family. They say the town was named for Robert Boston Hunter, an ancestor of mine. I would have to go back and check to find out how far back.
But going way back, the Hunter family even has a castle in Scotland--Hunterston Castle. Some of my family members have been there to visit it. They will let you in if you belong to Clan Hunter. How about that?
Maybe someday I will have more time to get more into the genealogy. I have books for both of my parent's families that gives lots of info. I did spend one summer playing around with it.
Do we know how many total eagles there are in the enclosure at CRC? And what do they do with the juvies when they fledge?
Oh, Shirley, didn't know you were of Scottish ancestry. Me, too! On my Mom's paternal side. No castles, tho'---just poor farmers!
Savannah very upset and calling out and making all kinds of neat noises!!!!
Nice that our cam is zoomed in!!!
Just got a good look at the eaglet! Savannah is eating....maybe going to feed it. Derek in now.....and he wiggles down on baby. Guess she just wanted relief!
Getting almost too dark to see much now at CRC.
Lynn,, they will move to eaglet to a hacking tower at 6 weeks of age at CRC
I think there are 6 or 7 eagles at CRC in the enclosure
What kind of fence did you get put up, Lynn?
Question? Why is our cam picture show so much daylight.. It is very dark
outside in my valley.
Jo, that's our night light at work...also the sun does set a tad later than where we are. It will get darker.
Both our nest....BELLE IS BACK!!
Lib doesn't want to move, lol
Not sure, I think she's eating.
Sloooooooooow motion
She is doing some preening...
Lib hasn't flinched, think he wants the night shift, lol
Lib did this the other day. Did not want to give it up. Belle finally all but laid down on him, and he got up and poofed!
Funny Funny Both still there
Now you can't convince me that Lib
doesn't know it is time to leave for the limb.
Belle looked up at the cam as though to ask us if we couldn't help her out!
Thanks for info, Paula. So who teaches the fledglings how to hunt????
5 ft. wire fence, Paula.
The live stream CRC link no longer works........go figure? Maybe they take it offline at night??
She's still waiting...patiently for the moment.
Lynn, They learn themselves, I guess.
here comes the move by belle....closer...
I can barely see it but it sure is cool anyway and I know YOU all can see it much better !
and I can hear click click click every 14 seconds !
The dog is waiting not so patiently for his walk...
OK Lib is going to give it up
Poop shoot by Lib and off he went
Belle always wins out! LOL
Yup! Off to walk the dog...
heard a little cooing and purring at Lib's departure
and some odds and ends of sounds
Belle wins. But the female always has night shift! It's a fact.
Seems kind of nice he let her do her thing at the nest for a few minutes before heading out...
Okay, Good Evening, Everyone!
time to cook and eat
bbl
503 blogger cop is back at work!
Deer just met the new fence.....but pulled up short! Don't think they can leap 5 ft.! Another one spooked her off the corn. Shame....there is plenty for all.
put some pictures up on the E-M album from earlier today, and tonight
glad you got the fence work done today, Lynn
and hope you are feeling better...
xo
ttfn
Margy I also went to put one pic up (returning after eggs had been left alone) & we must have just snapped at the same time..... I started April album if for no other reason then to make March easier to find!
Taking a break.......
Okay! Good idea Jo...
neither of the Blackwater cams seem to be refreshing, one is at 1858 and other at 1859
okay supper is ready, I can TASTE
so I am going to EAT
Ah, tasting makes it all the more wonderful! A little brisk out there, but not too bad for a walk. Not looking forward to all the rain this weekend!
Good Everning Eaglebuds! Been reading about the eggs all alone & Lib as sitter! Belle got her night shift.
Worked pretty late, was the only one there, except for tons of geese on grass when I got there & saw many on waY out w/Ms.Hoppy and about 6 other deer.
Ready for Panda nap ☺, but need din din! BBL
Glad to see our ill people are feeling better.
Loretta
Are you seeing any Tundra Swans?
Naturalist friend in NY saw about 200 today...said they caught a South Wind and headed North
Lynn - -
lots or rain in Missouri...your family doing okay out that way ?
lots OF rain that is, in Missouri and a lot of other places
Hope all our Momsters and Dadsters and all the family members will be okay !
Split is approaching stay alert
If I can taste my food, I guess I am well enough to return to work Saturday dayshift - germs have settled down
Kathryn has to take Luna to Fairfax again on Monday.
I didn't expect that.
But how are you feeling, Margy? That matters too.
