Bye Dana!

DanaMo said...

Caught that split LOL! Bye

Lynne2 said...

well, this is not the most interesting visit this morning.....

Lynne2 said...

DANAMO HAS WAX!!!!

Kay said...

Bye JudyE and DanaMo, have a good day !

Wow, the wind is really kicking up at the nest now !

DanaMo said...

Check out that wind picking up.

Lori O. said...

Whoa Nellie!

The nest is really moving in that wind!

DanaMo said...

Lynne 2 what does that mean?

magpie said...

Wind rocking the nest tree - Truder hunkering down in nest cup

Lynne2 said...

Oh brother.....here I am thinking why is this bird just sitting there, and finally I realize the dang cam feed is stopped. DUH!!

Lori O. said...

Could Belle find Lib and hook up with him (Liberty) again?

Lynne2 said...

Oh DanaMo, I'm going to have to defer to one of the original members of the blog for the WAX story!!! But it happens every 100 posts.....LOL!

Lori O. said...

BUT - he is just sitting there Lynne!

Lynne2 said...

Lori, I think Lib is still around....my theory which I have said before is, that with Nestorations, HP, eggs all done for the season, he doesn't NEED to defend the nest territory. But come fall....watch out!

magpie said...

Truder lying flat in the nest now still high up in the nest cup area
trying not to get blown away
a true test for those curly talons

Wooops Gone !

wvgal_dana said...

intruder gone 6:55am

Lynne2 said...

I saw Margy's post about the nest rocking in the wind and that was what clued me in! I'm a little snow this morning....Stinkbug Fatigue.

BTW, knees are OK, today will be a good test when I go to work. Been trying to rest them as much as possible over the weekend.

Kay said...

You're a little "snow" this morning, Lynne ? Better than being a lot of snow !!!! LOL

magpie said...

seems like we should have more color by now...
remember
NO SOUND for a week or two...

Lynne2 said...

Have to bring this over from Pre Split...

you know, it occurs to me, in this world of endless possibilities, that this Truder could very well be a baby was watched as an egg at some point....BWE, Norfolk, Maine...

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning in our confusing Eagle World at NCTC.

We just have to watch the nest and the eagles that come and try to identify them. Record what we see in the nest.

Can Liberty come back? Yes it has happened at other nest. The original male leaves from another male coming in. Then when egg time comes next season the original male comes back. No it does not mean that is what will happen in this case. But Liberty is out there believe me. He is!!

Then there are time that the nest gets taken over and the original male or female does not come back.

We need to watch the nest and watch who comes in. Record who you see.

floralgirl said...

Dang, just had a 34 mph wind gust, I am so sick of wind. Pouring rain here now.

Lynne2 said...

Oh HEEEEERRRRREEEE'S DAISY!

magpie said...

My viewing time is up

Best wishes for a Good, SAFE day...it is going to be very rough in many parts of the country

prayers for all the things we need to pray for, and that's a lot

xoxox See you much later on this evening

Lynne2 said...

Hold on to your hat Megan!

LOL! Yeah, I'm a little SNOW today....good grief! I'm a little SOMETHING, that's for sure...VERY little~

Lynne2 said...

Have a good day Margy!

Kay said...

So long for a while Margy, looking forward to your return already !

magpie said...

Good Morning Daisy
Meet Bloodroot ☺

Yep. Truder was a sweet little bobblehead once upon a time

Megan
hope things will be okay at your farm...

wvgal_dana said...

Margy you may have a busy day with this wind and lines coming down. Your so small I hope you weighed your shoes down with something heavy so you won't blow away.

magpie said...

Thanks...folks...you too...will miss you 'til we meet again
xoxoxo

Lynne2 said...

Over 800 reports of severe weather, damaging winds, hail and tornadoes since yesterday morning is the most reports since April 2006 per TWC

Severe Weather Reports

magpie said...

there's our color at the nest now...

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning to ALL here on the blog ( :

Lynne2 said...

Kay, I'm glad you have enjoyed my blog! We really like it here, but we only rent, and now it looks as though we may have to leave here....
MTBR

wvgal_dana said...

Lynne2 in reading comment. Where you said about a squirrel's nest. It was our nest right here when the season began we had squirrels that had a nest in the eagles nest.

I think Belle and Liberty took care of eating those.

It has happened at other nest also. Funny seeing a squirrel in there when eagles are away.

Lynne2 said...

Hi DanaWV!

Lynne2 said...

dangerous for little squirrels to try to nest with EAGLES~


Well, since I've had very little sleep and this is a work then babysitting day into night, I'm going to try to grab another hour or two before I have to get ready.

BBL

wvgal_dana said...

Ok Lynne2 rest well ( :

Kay said...

I'm heading for the newspapers. Will be picking my granddog up about 10 and bringing him home for the day. Grandson will join us after school. Will check back after they go home, about 4. Same routine Thursday and Friday this week. Keeps me going and I love it ! Have a good day everybody !

wvgal_dana said...

awwww Kay have a fun time with your grandson. See you later today bye.

wvgal_dana said...

Intruder just flew in

floralgirl said...

Truder is back in the nest.

Lynne2 said...

Truder!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Megan hold down the hatches over your way.

wvgal_dana said...

Lynne2 is pulling a Margy "I'm leaving and is still here" lol

wvgal_dana said...

7:34am just looking around

magpie said...

I See WET SPOT...LOL

okay

want to say:
Andrea - glad you checked in and are okay !

okay bye

Linda said...

Morning Earlybirds! See Truder hanging out in the nest...

Robyn said...

Tori went in bre and I were going to get b'fast but they told us she should be done in 10 min or so... I am so nervous with Tori going under.

Linda said...

7:39 am Belle flew in -
Nestorations...

wvgal_dana said...

7:37am Belle flew in

magpie said...

We're with you, Robyn... you and Tori...in prayer
(( Hugs ♥ ))

Linda said...

Truder flies out to right. Belle still in nest

wvgal_dana said...

Robyn there are prayers going up. You are not alone we are here gal!!

Robyn said...

thank you magpie

Robyn said...

Thank you Dana hopefully they will call us
to sit with her in recovery soon

Linda said...

7:43am Truder back. Both in nest

wvgal_dana said...

7:42am intruder flew back in and Belle is still there

Linda said...

Truder Poof again..!

Linda said...

This is weird!!

wvgal_dana said...

They are a weird couple lol

Lori O. said...

Look at Belle!

SHE'S WIND SURFING!!! LOL

wvgal_dana said...

He sure doesn't believe in bringing her a gift of a fish dose he???

Linda said...

Robyn
What's going on with Tori? Don't know too much about her health, since I'm a newbie! Poor thing has a lot going on, huh?

wvgal_dana said...

Hugs to Robyn (((((((((((Robyn & Tori))))))))))))) and Tori

Linda said...

wv dana.......hopefully we won't be calling them a "couple" right?

Maybe Belle is playing along until Truder things she is okay with him. Then out of nowhere, she'll attack him when he least expects it!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Want to hear a good one? I made sure on the live feed this morning I had my sound turned up LOL LOL

wvgal_dana said...

Linda It must be the smell of his cologne hee hee

wvgal_dana said...

7:51am Belle flys out

wvgal_dana said...

There are those black birds in the nest again.

grannyblt said...

Morning all. Stay safe, those of you in the path of the storms. We just have a little snow/rain.

It seemed to me that Spot and Belle seem pretty comfortable together, for now anyway. Strange behavior at ME nest--Dad is doing the brooding according to those more in the know. Nature doesn't always go according to plan, does it?

Linda said...

wv dana LOL on the cologne!!

Having the sound up to be sure your feed is live sounds like me before my second cup of coffee. I'm still on my first and still somewhat of a ZOMBIE!!

I'm not much of an early morning person! Wish I were, though. The morning is so peaceful and beautiful, especially in the spring and summer.

wvgal_dana said...

They are just checking for any food that might be there.

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Grannyblt-Lynne

wvgal_dana said...

Yes but the funny thing is I know there will be "no sound on live feed until the 18th". LOL

wvgal_dana said...

Grannyblt They are having their troubles at the Maine nest too. Dad being attacked while sitting on eggs.

Linda said...

Maybe YOU should join me in another cup of coffee!!

wvgal_dana said...

Grannyblt Did you see the video of the attack at Maine?

Linda I got to get my first cup before I can get a 2nd cup.

Robyn said...

Pa lynn Tori is getting her wisdoms removed but because of her lungs it is safest to do in a hospital setting.

Linda said...

Whew, wv dana, I couldn't do much of anything without that coffee running in my veins!!

Robyn, I thought Tori had those wisdom teeth taken out last week. I must have missed something. Sorry about that. I'll keep her in prayer RIGHT NOW!! (((HUGS))) to you both. Hang in there.

Judie said...

Good morning all.

Robyn, wishing the fastest recovery ever for Tori. I know she has an excellent vet. lol Prayers for you both♥

Megan, hope the wind and rain stop over your way. Would make me nervous about the greenhouse.

Decorah has the babies covered. NBG has three little ones all looking around counting raindrops. Our nest MT.

Will be headed to the big school house in a while.

Everyone have a nice day.

Robyn said...

Lol no Linda Tori and pre admission last week

Robyn said...

lol judie... vet

Yes one of the best vets ins can buy ;)

Linda said...

Robyn - Keep us posted......if I can keep up with the posts!! Got up earlier today to try and get more work done and I have spent over an hour just catching up on this blog!! LOL! ♥♥♥

floralgirl said...

Have a great day everybody! gotta get to work
Keeping Tori in my thoughts, sure she will be fine.
ps- Please tell me you didn't take Tori to the vet to have her wisdom teeth removed :)

Robyn said...

Lol no megan vet was not covered under insurance so we used an oral surbeon

Robyn said...

Errr surgeon*

4 wisdoms removed and in recovery waiting for them to move her where we can sit with her. Tori did fine

Scott said...

@Lori Thanks so much. I was using a Canon 400mm 2.8(huge lens) with a 2x extender, so I was shooting 800mm at 5.6 in bright sun without any problem at all. The only problem that I'm having is I'm cropping down so much of the photo that I'm going to have to upscale to get good prints. Have to work on that problem. I'm debating on renting an 800mm in a few weeks, so with the extender I'll be at 1600mm at 11.2, but in bright sunshine should be no problem. I had plenty of light and was only setting at ISO 400, so plenty of wiggle room there. If I double what I'm using now then I should be able to get the same shots and only have to crop down a bit, which should leave easy 16x20 prints or higher without a problem.

wvgal_dana said...

Good news there Robyn. Tell Tori we said "hi" ( : Prayers do work !

wvgal_dana said...

Live feed keeps freezing up so I keep refreshing. I do have the still cam up too.

Anyone else having a problem with live feed freezing up?

Linda said...

Robyn,
Glad Tori is in recovery. Now, I'll pray she doesn't have any nausea after coming out of the anesthia! That's the worst for me! ♥♥♥

hedgie said...

Good morning! Have not even started to catch up........but did want to share that other entities involved in the River Clean-up have NOT cancelled for Sat. SO if anyone was considering participating, you can meet in the train station on Potomac St. in Harper's Ferry Lower Town. HF Nat'Hist.Park is partnered with River & Trail Outfitters and BTI Whitewater & River Riders in the endeavor. Guess maybe their riverbanks are in better shape.

hedgie said...

Hmmmmm...Toyota will be shutting down American plants later this month. Can't build cars without parts......I'm just sayin'........

Judie said...

Good morning, again. Just about to go see the wannabe adults.

Robyn, good news and think by now you may be sitting with her. Give her out love, please.

Megan, the vet thing was becasue I got confused about Tori and Toby (the dog) one day and thought Robyn had taken Tori to the vet when she really took Toby. Oh well.

Until sometime tonight...

floralgirl said...

Yeah, I know, Judie:) just giving you a hard time.

hedgie said...

ALMOST caught up.....not quite.

Robyn, I'm sure Tori will be fine! They don't use deep anesthesia for teeth!

KayIM---Tori has interstitial lung disease. She's only 17.

Grannyblt Lynne---good to see you!!!! How's everything in your corner of PA??? How is your mom?

hedgie said...

LOL, I think Judie mixed up Tori and Toby!!!! But we'll forgive her, cause she is so much fun and we love her!!

hedgie said...

Totally unrelated to any of tday's conversation, but found it interesting that the young man who starred in The Blind Side with Sandra Bullock was on Harry's Law last night. He hasn't lost any weight!

Talking about the racing...someone said that rather than a fav driver, they rooted against certain ones! I have my particulars, too, that I will root against. I scream for ANYONE to beat that brat Kyle Bush! And I feel pretty much the same way about Jeff Gordon!

wvgal_dana said...

Still 2 beautiful chicks and 1 egg at Decorah. They are in close on the egg looking at it. I see a chicks poop shoot on the egg. Feeding going on. Bigger chick just grabbed the feathers of little chick and was pulling them like crazy.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING...
LYNN, I fell asleep near the end of Harry's Law...what happened to the black man? (I thought he looked familiar)

wvgal_dana said...

Come on little one get up there and get som food. Darn every time it does the bigger one. Really pecks and pulls little ones feathers. Mom make sure little one get some food!!!

hedgie said...

Wanda....give me a couple of minutes to answer your question....I feel asleep with 15 minutes left---watching the end now!!

wvgal_dana said...

Yeah little one just got a bite!!! Now it got another bite and another. ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Got West End up oh what beautiful calling. Both in nest, well one just left. I do see 1 or2 bobbleheads.

Lolly said...

Good morning! Having my laughs as I read through the blog. I want to thank so many of you for the smiles on my face! (((Hugs)))

I was a little "snow" getting up this morning, colder here than in the east. Strange!

I guess Tori went to the vet, or was it the surbeon? Which did the insurance cover?

I can laugh at typos...since most of mine are famous!

Seriouly though, so glad she is doing well. Anytime, a child is put to sleep for anything....it is scary!!!

I do not do Nascar except curse when I get caught in their traffic at TX Motor Speedway going to Laurel's. I must say I did enjoy my fast ride around their track a few years ago. After that, the next year a man was killed at the same event. They stopped that, I am sure!

bev. said...

Should have save my post as I lost it.

good morning,

sorry I have not been here lately. Been watching Maine when I can, and have a family emergency.
Youngest daughter is due July2 but has a placenta abruption and we had to take her to hospital on weekend. Now home , bed rest, and we take one day at a time.

I know you do not care for intruder at this site but he is only following instinct.
I have been checking here and have been following my e-mails.
Hope to get back on after I feed pooches

have a great day. Prayers to all who need them.

hedgie said...

Wanda----appeal was denied for the Jones fellow; Puck (the ex-prosecutor) sang and played guitar at the benefit dinner---impressed his fellow attorney's; Adam and his ex-girlfriend are going to take it tot he Supreme Court, and they played kissy-face and who knows what comes next for them??!! Good show!

bev. said...

no sign of anyone at nest

hedgie said...

Lolly, no they don't stop those ride-alongs! It makes big money, and of course participants sign releases as I'm sure you and Jack did! If I ever get the opportunity.....I will do it in a minute!

Lolly said...

Whee, the nest is blowing in the breeze!

No wind here today, we got it all yesterday. LOL However, it is coming back tomorrow and for the rest of the week. I hesitate to clean up the lawn.

Jack and I are going carpet shopping today. Going to replace the den carpet. It is 15 years old and in need of replacement. This will be our anniversary present to each other. Of course, our anniversary is not until June, but what the heck!

Lolly said...

Lynn, I did not mean they stopped the ride alongs just the event. It was a blood donors banquet. I imagine they do not do it there anymore.

I did enjoy it. I told myself they would not do this if it was not safe. Ha! Yes, we signed a waiver.

Lolly said...

Hi Bev! How is your weather?

Lolly said...

I now have my clematis blooming and my roses are starting to bloom. However, it was 40 this morning. Up to 51 now.

hedgie said...

Oh no...it's SLEETING here. 41°.

I see two trees on the more-protected side of the house whose buds have popped and have pretty little green leaves emerging!

Lolly said...

Just read back. Had missed your post, Bev. Prayers for your daughter and the baby. Bless her!

bev. said...

Thanks Lolly.

Fed dogs and am going to get cleaned up

Our weather still is nothing to write home about. Still lots of snow but we have a few days above 0 degrees C so a bit is melting. Now it looks dirty. No sign of buds or flowers or grass yet
but we might be able to get our Santa scene out of front yard in 2 weeks.LOL

Lolly said...

Was talking with Carmen, my neighbor. She is a night time respiration therapist at a Fort Worth hospital. She comes home around 7:30. She says that more times than not one of the hawks is on the ground in our front yard. Wonder what the attraction is? I saw them several times but had not seen them recently, but she says they are still coming here.

hedgie said...

Bev, prayers for your dear daughter and all of you.....know how scary that is....I had a previa that did abrupt----luckily it was past due date so taking the baby (Carolyn aka Jewels on here) was fine, but because they had such a hard time getting a surgeon because the OB/GYN was out of town, it made for a hairy few hours. It waas critical, but all turned out well.

Judie said...

Conviction on Harry's Law.

Oh boy, maybe a serial killer on Long Island! 8 bodies, so far.

Bye.

Lolly said...

LOL Bev! I love it! (Get your Santa scene!)

Guess I can not complain about our 52 right now. We have bright sunshine and everything is bright spring green. Texas Bluebonnets are blooming along the roadways. However, they are not as thick as usual since we are so dry.

Judie said...

Oh my, I am sorry Bev. Didn't read back. Prayers for your daughter, the baby, and all the family.

Bye! I really mean it this time.

Lolly said...

Watch it, Judie! More action for you to cover in your classes. You will not be able to retire.

wvgal_dana said...

Bev Prayers for you daughter and you.

Maine is up and running

MAIN EAGLE IN NEST

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Now, let's see if this works.

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle at Maine just calling out.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

YES!!

TEAM LIBERTY!!!

JudyEddy said...

came home to click on new thread OH NO no new thread

wvgal_dana said...

that was suppose to read MAINE EAGLE NEST not MAIN

bev. said...

thanks for kind thoughts everyone.
Now that Kristy is charted, she will top priority , if she has sooner. We are optimistic.

the Maine Male is a trooper.

I am jsut wondering of the female had to drop an egg during storm and that is why she was missing and is tending to that egg. There has always been a suspicion of a nest nearby. Just a theory. She does come to nest but does not incubate eggs and so thus my theory. But the male is committed here.

let us hope she clicks in soon. I do not feel she is a bad female, things go on off cam that we do not know about and I think the human inference there before storm , spooked her.

wvgal_dana said...

Bev Eagle at Maine on a rough windy ride in the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Bev, were they off the eggs a whole night? Thought that's what I gathered.

Sending good thoughts for your daughter.

Lolly said...

Bear Highlights Video

They are bedded down outside the den. They can only get video through the trees. At the end you see one of the cubs.

Okay, time to start my day...eat, walk, shop, dig in dirt!

Have a great one!

Sharon, LOVE your avatar!

TEAM LIBERTY!!!!!

Linda said...

Not only was there no one on that nest overnight in ME, but one can't hlep but wonder if those eggs were cracked when that intruder fought with the dad right in the nest. That was awful.

Bev, prayers for your daughter and her little one inside!

Robyn, Hoping Tori is okay!

Hi Lolly......it's a little "snow" here today as well. It's actually snowing outside and has been for the past hour. It's even sticking.....Don't know when we'll see spring!

bev. said...

Paula:

There was one evening that we did not see a return to nest before it went black, but male was on nest when cam was visible again so he probably went in during evening. I do believe he was there during the evening. and it was not that cold that day.

Without a nite light ????

I am just praying for a miracle at this site. We have seen them over and over again. and some nice weather.

Linda said...

SHARON
Love the TEAM LIBERTY avatar!!

bev. said...

Linda:
As I said he left before dark but was on when cam was visible soI believe he went in during night.
and when mom came in the other day, she rolled the eggs and we saw one clearly. It was not broken. So there is one for sure that is is not broken.they were buried deep, and so I think that saved them.

Geula said...

There was a great Atlanta Zoo panda forum that I used to go to but I can't it or the link. does somebody remember? Way back in Lun Lun and Mei Lan time.....ages ago!

hedgie said...

West End had second hatch during the night!

Linda said...

Sorry, Bev, didn't see that. I'm glad to hear there is some hope for a hatch there!

bev. said...

I used to watch those Pandas. When they sent one back to China I was heart broken and quit watching but I may be able to still find cam

Be right back

bev. said...

here is the cam

I do not know how to hi light it

http://www.zooatlanta.org/1212/panda_cam

Linda said...

Wow! Decorah has moved off the nest and is showing the other eagle sitting on the big branch. You can see the farm below as well. That is where you see the horses running from time to time.

Linda said...

Oops - just moved back to the nest!

Linda said...

Maybe he'll do it again later. That was a beautiful shot of the eagle perched by the nest with the farm below!

bev. said...

no problem LInda:

a lot are thinking there is not hope but I have seen so many hatches on cams that wre not supposed to be...

so I rule on the side of optimism.

I must run now. I have to be ready to fly out door if need be.

Now where did I put my broom LOL

Geula said...

I have a feeling that the forum was at Hancock under Bears, but I'm finding it difficult to navigate there...I'll try to google it again

bev. said...

Guela :

I gave you the link .here it is again

http://www.zooatlanta.org/1212/panda_cam

bev. said...

just so you know , mom at Mine came in and went over to bowl but then went up to Y branch. Egg is visible

Hopefully dad gets back soon'

she at least protects the site.

hedgie said...

LOVE the avatar, Sharon!!!!
Maybe we ALL should use it for a while!

Bev, love the broom reference! LOL!

Geula, is the forum a seperate site form the cam?? Try googling Daniel's Multiple Cam Feeds and see if he has a link to it. He's on FB , too.

hedgie said...

I am hungry.....but know that the minute I make a sandwich, the Schwan's delivery will come....it never fails!

Mauley said...

Sharon is our original wax queen from years ago, the best I remember!!!!!!
