Hi,

Thanks, Steve.

Lynne2 said...

Thanks Steve! Any chance we can get a zoom on the cam?

Thanks Lynne for the callover!

grannyblt said...

Mom eagle at VA sure is restless. She is surely hearing things.

Mema Jo said...

Surprise! New fresh thread!
Thanks Steve & you can have our cam Zoom anytime now.

Thanks grannyBLT - good to see you

NBG - No one has actually seen the eggs. I am thinking that they are assuming there is a pip or even a hatching because of the adults' actions when they are incubating.. I don't think they will know for sure until they see an egg shell

Diane said...

Lynne2, here is the link to the discussion forum. Click on Norfolk Eagles: www.window-on-wildlife.com
Maybe you can tell me if I'm seeing things.

Lynne2 said...

yeah Lynne, that is what I posted a few minutes ago! The suspense is killing me!

Diane said...

Mema Jo: They have seen the egg..Reese has confirmed the pip.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Diane - Didn't know Reese
made that comment.. Good for him!

wvgal_dana said...

Ok now you all are over here. I'm chasing you around this morning.

Good morning I slept in and just woke up. I've never slept like that before.

Flies sure bothering her.

Lynn I seen that picture you got. Nice capture.

They have a close up now.

Lolly said...

Good morning!

And how are all of you this fine morning?

Busy watching NBG, I see. I got that cam up first thing. Now I am watching Lib in our nest. Or, at least I guess it is LIb.

65 here and cloudy. Possible rain this evening and night. Let's hope so!

Woke up at 8:30, but I am dressed and made up for church. Just need to do my do! So, I have a little time left on here.

stronghunter said...

Watching NBG here, too. But keeping an eye on our nest as well.

Zoomed at NBG now.

wvgal_dana said...

Dianeat what time on that discussion board does Reese say there is a pip? I am looking but missing where Reese talks?

Mema Jo said...

Diane - The window on wildlife is a good forum. Birder, Sherry and all the rest are good at reporting.
I watched the animated pic

Wow both in the nest now
Must be time for a switch
Watch very closely

Lynne2 said...

Diane, wow, it's really hard to tell in that clip! It sure looks like it could be....

wvgal_dana said...

Come on Momma move your butt so we can see please ( :

Lynne2 said...

just saw our eggs!

Lynne2 said...

I am quite sure mom just remvoed an egg shell from the cup!!!!

Mema Jo said...

Whoo Hoo! NBG just brought
egg shell up out of nest

Lynne2 said...

YES!!!!!

Diane said...

Mema Jo: It was on the forum, I just went back and re-read. Reese "thinks" there is a pip...sorry about the confusion. But, that video Lori posted really confirms it. She says that you can see the little one's beak popping out. I keep watching the video and am sure it's opening.

Diane said...

Ok, posted too late! Yay!! We have an eaglet!

wvgal_dana said...

Well there is a picture of part of the shell. So they must have a hatch at NBG.

Diane said...

You know, locically we know the eaglets are pretty big, but seeing the egg close up to mom like that, the egg shell looks huge!

stronghunter said...

NBG zoomed in on eggshell.

grannyblt said...

How eggciting. Hope I am tuned in when we have a hatch.

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks everyone.

Diane I just couldn't find on the discussion board where Reese spoke a comment. I did see where they said "Reese said there is a pip". Although couldn't find his comment.

Contragulations Mom and Dad and welcome to the world little chick ( :

wvgal_dana said...

That was 38 days for the hatch.

wvgal_dana said...

NCTC we are on day number 36 today.

Mema Jo said...

NBG 1st egg that just hatched was laid
on 2/3 Our 1st egg was laid on 2/5

Our hatch date could be 3/13 to 3/15

Diane - seeing the shell or rather 1/2 of the shell makes you realize how large it truly is. The shell is soft when laid thank goodness.

hedgie said...

I got lost!!!!!!!
Bringing over:

TY, Shirley. LOL---Glo got one almost identical to mine and put it on FB....eagle didn't look quite as mad in hers.
Hey, Lynne....one day at at a time! You can do it!

Looks like an NBG hatch.....I see egg pieces but no chick......and cam is frozen?????????

I got a capture....so will refresh cam and see what happens.Pic is on Lair.

hedgie said...

Congrats to NBG, for sure!!!! Hope we get to see the wee one before it fledges---LOL!!!!!

hedgie said...

Did you all hear that because of the quake: Japan moved by a number of meters closer to the continent; the earth shifted on its axis, and that it messed up the world's time?
Quake influence

Mema Jo said...

Reese is on the discussion board now
Reese:
The chick is usually exhausted from all the work it took to break out of the egg, so may be an hour or more before we get to see.

wvgal_dana said...

I just seen 2 pretty eggs at NCTC ( :

Lori O. said...

Egg roll and fluffing the puffy stuff.

hedgie said...

I think the likelihood of getting a zoom on our cam today is slim to none. No one is working onsite who has access, I'm sure.

hedgie said...

A bit of egg-tention and wiggle-wiggle our nest.

Dana......are you gonna fess up on here? I'm still laughing!

BEagle said...

Whee! Big wing stretch. Lib must be getting stiff.

Egg roll and digging. Was he listening to the eggs? Wiggle...

Hello Eagle People! Just stopping in a moment to see if there are big fish on our nest yet.

wvgal_dana said...

lol Lynn lol now I'm cracking up lady....( :

BEagle said...

I got up late today. Then, after reading on the blog a little, I realized I needed to change my clocks.

So this is a "behind day" and my inner clock will be messed up the whole week!

BEagle said...

Hedgie. Thanks for posting the pic of the egg mass in the NBG nest. : ) Still laughing about getting to see the chick before it fledges. : D

They definitely should consider an aerial position for a cam!

Mema Jo said...

It usually takes me a good week and then some to get use to a time change.
I forced myself to go to bed last night and my body knew it was not really midnight. Same thing this morning - I got out of bed but my body didn't come with me until and hour later...

hedgie said...

Yes, they should, BEagle!!!
You and Jim both got caught with your clocks off, huh???!!!

Well wait til Dana tells her story!!

Mema Jo said...

No fair Dana - You can Spit it out!
Reference to your comment:lol Lynn lol now I'm cracking up lady.........

BEagle said...

Jo, you said it well.

I don't care for DST at all.

BEagle said...

Okay. I'm waiting Dana! :)

I need a good laugh.

BEagle said...

The NBG was just now wiggling down. Did anyone see ANYTHING?

Mema Jo said...

I think that our cam has been zoomed
Do any of you think so...?

BEagle said...

The eagles keep moving the fishes around the nest. (NBG)

BEagle said...

Lori.
Strong.

Thanks for all those early morning posts.

BEagle said...

Yes! MemaJo. I didn't pay attention till you mentioned it. It does look zoomed.

BEagle said...

It would be nice if our cam would zoom a wee bit more at this time.

I am going to check the still cam.

BEagle said...

The still cam still looks miles away.

BEagle said...

Lib got up and did a few wing shakes. Probably a response to hearing egg peeps. : )

BEagle said...

Another egg roll? Look close!!

BEagle said...

Lib is tenting. Is there rain?

I tried to see if there were any pops but it's too distant for me.

hedgie said...

Glo also posted a pic of the shell almost identical to mine---on FB!

hedgie said...

No, Jo....I go by the lower left hand corner of the nest---about 8'ish----when it's zoomed, that gap doesn't show.

BEagle said...

I will check Glo's pic!

Got to scoot.
BBL.

hedgie said...

Not raining here......but the sky is the kind that makes you think it could sprinkle periodically---but it's not in the forecast.

hedgie said...

No difference between still and live cams----just that the image itself is bigger on live, and, of course, color shows better on still, as always. Put them up side by side and compare limbs, sticks, etc....

Mema Jo said...

Well Steve should get my email on Monday morning requesting the zoom to be effect since the hatching is so near.

Mema Jo said...

Taking a break

hedgie said...

Think I saw a little teeny bit of eaglet fuzz.....but not enough to know for sure.....cup is too deep and mom is not sharing the view!

hedgie said...

Sure hoping the weather is prettier at the B for Paula! Feels chilly after yesterday! Still mostly cloudy and windy.

Mema Jo said...

It is windy and it feels colder....

Mema Jo said...

Not sure of the reason our eagle is spreading wings a bit.

hedgie said...

Here is Chrissy's response to my question about the specific date that Isla is expected:
With her being so old,, 27 this year,,, know one will ever know what happens to her,, she isn't leg ringed pet,, so it's only by recognition that we will know it's her if she does return home,,, but knowing Isla,, she will have to be at deaths door not to try,,, she will always return to her birth nest pet,,, it's just time you see,, and it's killing me,,, so I have to wait,,

Of course, I knew she wasn't banded so couldn't be tracked on her journeys.

hedgie said...

GOT A LOOK AT THE EAGLET!!!!!!

hedgie said...

Her little neck was too weak to hold head up long enough to get a pic, but got one of fuzz!!! Putting it on.

glo said...

Welcome Baby Norfolk

glo said...

This is a pretty good weekend to not feel like going anywhere. Can we all say awwwww! together. Too cute

glo said...

I am working on saving for a video for tonight. Thats how I managed to pull a capture out of the video to share. Yes head was very warbly but video let me back up screen by screen to find a pretty good picture for you to see.

Lori O. said...

Parent just took off -- seemed alarmed.

Eggs are alone.

Good time for a peak.

Lori O. said...

Switch?

Eggs are rolled.

Wiggle wiggle. Love that!

Lolly said...

Congrats to NBG! Might know it would happen while I was gone. Now it is our turn! Wahoooo!

Lori O. said...

GLO - that picture is adorable!

glo said...

YES now it is our turn. I sure hope they zoom in for us tomorrow. Start watching for that fish to come to the nest. I think Belle is acting like she has been listening closely all day.

NatureNut said...

Hello, chicklet watchers. I got up late & had some phone calls. I must have just missed a zoom in on NBG eaglet. Discussion just talked about it. Was hatched at 11:25. Saw Lynn's great pic of empty shell.Now we have to keep an eye on our nest for hopefully a pip in the next few days! We might go cam crazy we/many hatching at same time!
Eagle report from Sat's. Park nest was that all you can see is tippy top of Mom's head--incubating.

Lolly said...

Wow! Just saw the eaglet. Sturdy little fellow holding up his head saying "feed me". Or was he saying "Hi Mom!"

stronghunter said...

Got a good view of the NBG eaglet. Got a picture, but was on the phone, so did not get to full-screen it. Could only multi-task so much.

Lori O. said...

A little zoom action would be helpful for seeing the eggs better. The reg. shot is too far and the full screen is without definition...a lot of guessing for sure!

wvgal_dana said...

Ok Ok I've been working on my sheets of papers on the different nest. Didn't do them last year with Ed being so sick. I see Lynn has you all wondering about our lol's.

I wanted to go to the AAWW meeting. So I woke up later than I ever have. Was in the shower thinking, "I will never never make this meeting by noon. With having to get dress, put my pill in weekly container and eat breakfast yet". So I called Lynn and told her I was not going to make the meeting. Well let me tell you did she ever CRACK UP. (Well it help her lungs with all the laughing she was doing. Not only was the date of the meeting for March 20th but even the time is at 2pm. Lynn was really cracking up. She said, "Mark it down lady". I said, "I have it marked down and it is for the 20th plus time isn't noon it is 2pm". So that is the gust of all the laughter.

Lolly said...

I just posted two pictures of the new eaglet on Eagles and Pandas Blog. So cute!

wvgal_dana said...

Now I have to pick up my Mother by 3pm. Would you trust me to be there????????
Well yes I am dressed, shoes on, pocket book ready, coat hanging ready just got to make sure I don't get involved in these papers lol

glo said...

Most of my NBG captures are on facebook but after first feeding IF I catch it I will make the video for Glo's Glimpses. Nice to have something great to enjoy this weekend.

hedgie said...

Lolly, perfect pics!!!! You were right on the ball!!! Yep, Glo----AWWWWWW!!!!

Dana, thanks for sharing----ROFLMBO!!!!!

Loretta, doesn't it kill you NOT to know how many you have in your nest??!!

hedgie said...

Isn't "iwannafly" our Irene? She is commenting on OC blog.

stronghunter said...

Well, shucks. I guess I did not save the picture. Cannot find it now.

wvgal_dana said...

Great pictures you all are posting of the little bitty one at NBG. Thanks to all of you.

Glo when I get back I'll have to check out facebook.

wvgal_dana said...

Well I was just looking at the mail I got yesterday. I got it when it was dark out of the mailbox. Just decided I better check it out.

First piece is from UAW "not sealed and nothing in envelope". I think I'll have to call them Monday lol Boy does crazy things happen to me. lol lol

Lolly said...

Dana, you better not be late on the 20th or you will really get a lot of teasing.☺

wvgal_dana said...

bbl

stronghunter said...

Congratulations, Lolly. Great pictures. It was exciting to see the little one.

Lolly said...

Going to get busy...mop my floors and head outdoors. It is 72 and partly sunny. Just too nice to stay indoors.

Have a great day1

BBL

hedgie said...

SIL's bro has been here and fixed the privacy fence (had to replace the post that broke off in the ground). He's also doing some winter clean-up----limbs, etc. Charlie was supposed to show up to help....but hasn't.

magpie said...

seems like a whole lot of egg checking going on at NCTC

Congratulations to Norfolk
can't open Glo's link from work, but could check Lolly's! So cute indeed

hedgie said...

paula eagleholic said...

hedgie said...

Wow, Paula---you got a connection!!!! Great! Is it just you and Nugz this time?

stronghunter said...

I voted, Lynn.

stronghunter said...

Hi, Paula!

Lori O. said...

Eagle adjusted and comfy now a wiggle wiggle after rolling the eggs. Oh, the fluff has been all puffed up again.

Couldn't see any glaring crack or pip on reg came or full screen view.

Lori O. said...

should have typed regular camera above...

Can't wait for these babies!

Lori O. said...

Shirley, Lynn, Paula, Margy, Dana,Lolly & Glo -

You ladies have a fabulous evening. I'm getting ready to bed since it'll seem sooo early getting up at what used to be 12:30AM!!!
Which is now 1:30 - in name only!

I'll do my best to keep up the observation reports inthe morning.

We'll be real Eaglet Momsters again very soon.

Prayers for all in need. Hugs for everyone!

stronghunter said...

Voted again on the other computer.

stronghunter said...

Silly dogs. Kathryn and I have to pretend to give Flash eye drops so he doesn't feel left out.

stronghunter said...

Watching the news from Japan.

BEagle said...

A stretch, fly off. Do you see an egg move?

magpie said...

wow.......

BEagle said...

Belle is back. Actually I thought she was the one that flew off.

BEagle said...

Paula. Some of us may be grovelling in jealousy!!!!

magpie said...

I did not see an egg move, except the parent moving it

i would say maybe one looked...a little....uneven maybe that would be the one on the right when they were first exposed

BEagle said...

Good evening everyone.

BEagle said...

I don't know if grovel is the best word to use. Maybe wallowing.

glo said...

Norfolk Hatch Video
and now its our turn. I sure hope we get that zoom so we can see the happenings.

BEagle said...

What a wonderful video Glo. Loved it!
Thank you truly.

stronghunter said...

Beautiful video, Glo. Thanks for the link. It brought tears to my eyes.

hedgie said...

Sleep tight, Lori---even tho' it's going to be a short one for you!!


I am playing Paula on the OC blog!!! Answering the questions as well as I know how!

hedgie said...

Loved the video, Glo!! GOod job.

Shirley, that is so funny! Flash must be the real attention hog!

Mema Jo said...

Excellent video Glo. The music really brings out the emotion of it all.
Thanks!

hedgie said...

It's getting d-a-r-k-e-r!!

hedgie said...

Thanks for voting, Shirley!!

hedgie said...

I am not an ice hockey fan per se, but do watch the Washington Caps on occasion.....guess I haven't watched at the right time, or something because today, for the first time, I noticed that their mascot is an EAGLE character, dressed in uniform and skating! Pretty darn cute.

paula eagleholic said...

Just nugz and I today. Beautiful sunset. Took nugz for a walk too. Grabbing a sandw8ich for dinner...the plumber will be here tomorrow to turn the water on. Lynn iam blogging from my phone.

Mema Jo said...

Great egg roll in our nest

Now it is time for our NCTC Hatch Watch
to begin!

hedgie said...

Heard either geese or tundra swans a little while ago....not sure which! Couldn't see them.....the geese roost at a nerby pond and are pretty low coming in.

Mema Jo said...

Good luck with turning on the water
No Leaks Needed ! Enjoy and safe journey home -that is if you decide to come home to the mountains....

Mema Jo said...

2 beautiful falcon eggs up in PA
I had forgotten to look today but Mits
just sent me an email.

glo said...

Glad you are enjoying Norfolk video. I surely hope we can get zoom and sounds for ours. We must patiently wait and see. Would love to see a fish arrive :-).

wvgal_dana said...

Back home safely.

I seen 10 beautiful deer, then male and female malliard ducks, and canadian geese male and females.

Near Margy's area.

hedgie said...

Mai doesn't know it, but she just had her last meal for quite a long while......spaying in the morning. As we say in the field, NPO after MN (NPO means nothing per os in Latin, and os is mouth). She'll get water between now and then but no more food.

Mema Jo said...

Mother Goose's egg count is up to 7.

Mema Jo said...

Going in to TV for a taped show with hubby. If I like it I'll watch but if
I don't I'll be back......

hedgie said...

Oh, I forgot about the phone, Paula!! Cool.
Hope all goes well with the water!

BEagle said...

Mother Goose is carrying on about something. It would be nice if the cam had sound.

wvgal_dana said...

Where is Mother Goose cam?

wvgal_dana said...

I can't go shopping (just looking in stores which I used to hate) anymore because I keep seeing things for Paula's beach house. I wrote her an told her where and what type of things. Like at Marshall's in expensive neat things. Then at Big Lots more neat things.

lol I can't get out of the "BEACH" lol

Lolly said...

Glo, love your video. Shared it on fb. Hope you do not mind. Loved the music you put with it.

Spent the afternoon working it in the yard. It was great out...not hot at all. Perfect!

Lolly said...

Mother Goose

Here you are, Dana.

Lolly said...

Can see the nest quite well this evening. The moon is bright enough to even cast a shadown across the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Well I think I am done with house stuff for tonight...going to go peek at the still cam, check my email, then grab my book and read. Hope y'all have a good evening...

Huga to all

Lolly said...

Nite Paula! This your first night at your new house. Little concerned you do not have water. LOL

glo said...

Thanks Lolly I am glad you shared the video. I made it for others to see :-)

WV sUSAn said...

Hey everybody. I've been in and out of here today checking nests and taking care of sick hubby. He's a little better this evening.

So glad to hear of second egg n PA. This is a new female I think. Anyone know if the male is same?

Hatch at NBG! Wooohooo. We are next!!

Watching Phoebe and chicks. Soooo cute.

Hope everybody is doing well this evening! I'll be keeping an eye on dear Belle for another hr or so. We are officially in WATCH mode for our first eaglet and it's sooooo exciting!

paula eagleholic said...

th estill cam looks great on my phone ...I can see the shadow across Belle......the moon here was stright overhead a little while ago....

Oh the neighbor has the osprey platform up...no osrey yet....saw a heron and red wing blackbirds....and the trees are starting to bud

Sorry for the typos!

WV sUSAn said...

An egg roll on both lovely eggs and now settled back in. The light is great at the nest tonite.

Mema Jo said...

Taped movie was really good - The Taking of Pelham 123 Denzel Washington and John Travolta
NY Subway drama with hostages - Really fast moving and ended very well - The good guys won!

Mema Jo said...

I hope our little chick is pipping away with his egg tooth. Tomorrow or Tuesday would be a good day to pop that shell.. It is getting eggciting.

HI WVsUSAn and all others here this evening.

WV sUSAn said...

Hey Glo. I've tried several times to watch your vid and YouTube tells me it cannot load. Any ideas??

glo said...

wvSusan hmmm not sure perhaps site is really busy now OR maybe you need to clean or cache or reboot. I know my neighbor just watched it with no problem but they have a cable connection and haven't been on their computer all day. Good luck. I hope you get to see it. Kind of summarizes the whole weekend at Norfolk.

wvgal_dana said...

Glo video was great ty

Lolly Thank you for Mother Goose webcam site. You all was holding out on me. LOL

Think I'm heading for the recliner. This time change really has me messed up.

wvgal_dana said...

See it is 9:50pm and I take Meds at 9:30pm .... time change never messed me up until this year. If I set alarms to do things. I'll have to put a note by each alarm saying what it is going off for. lol

wvgal_dana said...

I am going to say good night on here.

Prayers for those that still have some of those colds, sinus infections, chest problems, pains, aches, hurts, headaches, tireness, forgetfullness (oh that's me), and anything else and for God's creatures.

glo said...

Voted for Mai Looks like she is still in 5th place.

Mema Jo said...

Night Dana - sleep well and regain your memory. You do just find as long as we keep you straight! Love Ya

stronghunter said...

The Taking of Pelham 123--I read that book years ago. It stuck in my mind pretty well so that I remembered it when I saw the movie. Very exciting.

Mema Jo said...

Belle is snoozing with head tucked under her wing.

Votes are going in for Mai - I asked hubby what he was doing going from room to room and he said he was turning on all the computers so he could vote! I hope that % comes up for Mai!

NatureNut said...

Have been absent from 'puter since dinner. We've been watching news channels about Japan.Can't really fathom all that you see, but they are experts in these situations many say.

If I fall asleep in chair (very likely), want to say, Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)

Mema Jo said...

Steve has answered my email about the Zoom
Thanks for the note. I am on leave this next week. The guys will watch and use the zoom as possible. Should give some good views of the new eaglets. Steve

magpie said...

Thanks Jo
That will be great !

Hello Evening Eagle Pals..don't think DST is going to adversely affect me one bit...my sleep schedule is so akimbo it doesn't make any difference
will enjoy the more daylight in the evening

magpie said...

Have to tell you all...in Thursday's local paper, the Journal, is a picture of Nu -
with Valley Trees of Shepherstown, working on trimming a dangerous overhanging tree limb at the Yankaur Nature Preserve here in our county
Not as cool as some of the pictures we have seen on the NCTC cam...but it is Nu! ☺

magpie said...

good to hear from Paula at the beach..I'd like to know what book she is reading.. !
Sounds good down there near the water

magpie said...

Best wishes with the spaying for Mai on Monday, Lynn

wonder if you will hear her tummy growling during her NPO preparations....

going to go vote...
sure was cute, to read of Jo's Ed going from room to room computer to computer to do that ☺

magpie said...

what a week for Steve not to be around at NCTC -
he will rely heavily on Paula's videos and our pictures, I would think ☺

magpie said...

Lynn
if those geese you heard were flying low...probably Canada Geese...the Tundras are high and on a fast track to get back North !

near here, where water has overrun a small creek into a field, have been watching those Canada Geese and Mallards Dana was referring to

magpie said...

NCTC nest brighttening up a bit
good better than half moon tonight

magpie said...

nice excerpted post from Chrissie via Lynn, sure would be exciting if Isla does make yet another return to Loch of the Lowe's ♥

hedgie said...

Been watching shows. Still am!
Paula, maybe the osprey will show up tomorrow!!
Dana, goose link was posted last week!!
Susan, hope your hubby recovers quickly.
I read that book, too, Jo and Shirley.....and watched the original movie.....don't remember now who was in it! Will have to look for the new version!
Goodnight to all calling it a day.

magpie said...

I see the slightly intermittently glowing chain at Finland Water...only six hours difference now between here and there...will be getting light there in a couple of hours .... more daylight here, more daylight there !

magpie said...

Hope some of you will visit my Feathers and Fur link to see the beautiful Hooded Crow at Finland Water nest...reminds me so much of Deb...she is the one that identified the bird for me three years ago.....

magpie said...

now the NCTC nest is darkening up a some...
we have some cloud cover moving in hereabouts

Good Night Lynn, and Mai ♥

magpie said...

couldn't get Glo's UTube to open up...my computer for sure...going to try again

bbl

stronghunter said...

Going upstairs for the night. I have to get up early. It will feel strange for awhile, but won't have to worry so much about coming home in the dark.

Oh, I did take a drive up the road where we hit the bad storm the other night. There did not seem to be a lot of trees down, but I saw a traffic sign down, and the power company was still busy fixing the damage to the power lines.

stronghunter said...

Yeah, I saw the original movie, too. And I do not remember who was in it either.

hedgie said...

Margy, I had no idea that was Nu in that pic! Cool!

Yes, Jo, please thank Ed for so diligently getting the votes in!
Not looking very good....:(

Mema Jo said...

The original cast you may remember was
Walter Matthau, Robert Shaw and Martin Balsam The Taking of Pelham 123

magpie said...

Good Night Shirley!

and Lynn...you are still with us ☺

magpie said...

Here's what I am dealing with on this computer...it is going to tak a god 25 minutes for Glo's UTube to play through...start, stop, start, stop...once it plays through to the end, then I can watch it!
I'll figure our some solutions here sooner or later

magpie said...

interesting article in The Journal today about "returning Spring Robins" by Scott Shalaway....as many of you know, lots of robins overwinter, deep in the woods where they can find abundant food sources...and they can manage in about 5 inches of snow okay...if more, they will migrate farther South. But as temperatures start to elevate, the will start coming out of those deep woods to places where we will see more of them, more often...back in the day when I would be in the woods during the winter, I would often see quite a few

magpie said...

Their song, is a favorite pre-dawn and late evening sound....
I love it !

magpie said...

I'm hoping the high waters recently with Back Creek at Swinging Bridge, will bring in more hitchhiking wildflowers again this year, as happened last year with the Jacks-in-the-Pulpit

magpie said...

oh dear, meant to type
"going to take a good" when referring to how long that UTube is going to take to load

LOL sorry Magpie my old desktop will do that to me too. I usually find something to do while it downloads. Make a cup of tea about 5mins before its done and then sit down to enjoy whatever I was trying to watch. It might be nice to watch just before heading to bed. Music is pleasant so ya know maybe time it while you are getting ready fro bed. Enjoy a 5 min movie and sleep tight. Which is just about what I plan to do now. Tomorrow or at least by Tues will be busy at our nest :-). I do hope Steve will clue someone in to keep an eye and maybe zoom it in for us. Or just zoom it in tomorrow and leave it there for the hatch if they are going to sit by it to watch.

More dire stuff in Japan. Just awful.

Will have to set my alarm for morning....and then off to vet we will go. They will keep Mai overnight, so I will have an alone day and night for sure. I could sleep and sleep.....but since we are on hatch watch, that won't happen!!!!

Judie.....where have you been today?
And Andy?? These busy gals keep us guessing!

Well, goodnight dear friends. Sleep well. It's been a long day after a short night! Hope our internal clocks are all back in sync come morning!

Love all of you!

Good night Friends
Sleep well and dream of peaceful times
Prayers for so many in all places of the world and here at home.
Hugs for all ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
