New week thread.
Update: This morning a gentleman dropped off at the NCTC gate an injured adult bald eagle. The bird had been hit by a car near Harper's Ferry. We brought the bird over to a wildlife rehabilitator in Keedysville, MD. The bird stayed calm in the car, and was able to hop out of the transport carrier. Looked like a leg injury, but it could not fly.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 374 of 374Glad that Dad at Maine finally gave up...poor guy!
Truder seems to have narrow feet at times!
Lynne, good catch on the Osprey egg!
Yea, what a sight that must have been to come upon, the eagles and vultures at the deer carcass.
Just as I read that Judie was turning on the night light, the night light on the nest came on!! Gee, gal, you sure have super powers!!! Rest well.
Well, admitting Sissy is a wise thing to do, under the circumstances......she's been through so much already.
Well I think I will sign out...I'll see the "early birds" in the morning.
I just got back and I see Sissy needs immediate prayer doing so now!!!!!!
Sharon Check your mail please
Kay IM I was and have been doing so well. I don't know what this backward spin is all about. Giving it some time. I do believe in groups and if it continues I will attend one again. Just it has taken me by surprise. This all of a sudden crying and missing him terribly. I am on 1/2 day at a time right now. Thank you Hugs
Oh dear more prayers for Sissy
WOW!!! Travelling with a wounded eagle in the car!!! I can hardly imagine it, I would not want to be the driver...Oh MY!!! Wonderful that you all have a place close by to tend to wounded eagles.
I am sorry the Main nest incubation is not going to produce an eaglet...yet it is a sign that the intruders are reflecting a healthy eagle population in your part of the world.
I am sorry Sissy had to go to the hospital and I wish her well.
aw DanaWV so sorry. I think those "backward" spins are to be expected. It must be very difficult.
They said the wounded eagle was able to walk out of the "carrier" if i remember correctly. So it doesn't sound to me like it just sat there on a seat for the drive.
Hoping the eagle that got hit in Harpers Ferry. Is able to recover and be released. Also hope someone moved that deer carcass off roadway.
Glo I read that too,that he hopped out of the transport carrier, but just imagine having a bald eagle in the car!!! It is a wonderful and kind thing this gentleman did...
I think that the carrier was used to transport the eagle to the rehab facility. Two people brought it to NCTC, so possible that one just held it--maybe wrapped in a coat or something.
Jack and I went out for a walk around Hawkwood. Missed the T birds visit.
Filmed a car once approaching a bald eagle release that said with a big sign on the side BALD EAGLE ONBOARD. They had traveled 3 hours from the Chicago area to near where I love. I was so excited just seeing the car approach let alone the imminent release I had come to watch. Guess we don't know where the carrier comes into play for sure. Sounds good if it hopped out of the carrier though. Hopefully it will recover fully.
Yep, it's magic how I managed to turn the nest night light on.
In truth, I am more tired than I realized and have another day at school tomorrow. So, am setting our night light to turn on at 11:00pm. Headed for the pillows momentarily. Restful sleep for all. I'm sure Andy will turn on the alarm system later.
Niters Judie sleep well with ^j^ ^j^ Angels on Your Pillows.
Sharon I hope your sister is conmfortable now and they take real good care of her and she gets home ASAP.
I received my Lady of the Loch today and hope to read it after finals this week.
So sorry to hear about Tara's dad
Prayers offered for Tara and her family, lovely obituary with a link by Sharon before the Split...
beautiful tributes and words here for him and his journey heavenward
and Prayers of Joy for Bev, Kristy, the little tyke and all his new family
and Prayers for Sissy, for the doctors to do the right thing at the right time
DanaWV we are with you every step of the way, and please, do check into those support groups. Our Hospice programs here are among the best of the nation, I'm certain !
Good Evening Eagle Pals xo
Thanks for the additional information Lynn about the injured bald eagle near Harpers Ferry...what an experience for all involved! I wonder, if anyone took pictures
Yay for BWO, sorry for Maine
and congrats Lynne on your TWO bluebird eggs
Loved Wanda's description of her grandson who was so teeny-tiny at birth, and Yes! Brandon, is handsome and wholesome !
James and I were at the road to see the Sycamore Palace....no eagles in sight, but James, heard some other birds chirping and thought he was hearing eagles, bless his heart !
It was at about 4:30
Thanks again Robyn for posting about Anne-Marie early early this morning, that is comforting to know our
Momster A-M is okay ! Group effort, you just got the word first, so thanks to everyone on the effort also !
Lolly - sorry about and prayers for your back discomfort...and the new threat of wildfires...
Jefferson Airplane, Jethro Tull, Canned Heat, Ricky Skaggs, Mickey Gilley, The Whites, Doc Watson...those are some of the concerts I have seen in my days past and enjoyed every one of them !
Sharon
okay, you are set with Andrew's concert - I love It is Well with My Soul also... -
and then Pete Seger
Sure hope Sissy is cleared to go to Greensboro !
this!PoopFacial
Testing how to do blue link found this on youtube

How neat, Trego in Keedysville...
right place at the right time
Glo glad that Dex has forgiven you !
disappearing for awhile here...
Best Wishes and Prayers....for what it is going on with all of us
xoxo ♥
Got online an hour ago, but ended up reading/answering emails!
So sorry to hear Sissy is not well. Wonder how that happened???
Poor thing--she's had a long recuperation.
Lolly, keep those fires away!! Just had email from our Park sec. who retired back to TX. She's somewhere N. of Dallas, but didn't mention bad stuff there. She was more concerned w/the bad weather we were supposed to get! She even heard on news about kayaker lady in the Potomac!
Of course saw the update about eagle & Lynn's great info from Audubon. Wonder if we know any of the other eagles eating there?
Loretta
sorry to hear of the crazy schedule you have this week
Boo-Hiss !
The blue link only showed up on the work this but it will get you there
Will the Moon climb out of the clouds ??
Must admit, I did not mind NOT seeing Truder today at all
Just not in the mood
okay bye xo
I think that's it, JudyE! Haven't seen that video before!
Paula...any updates on your Robin Mom and the eggs?
Nightingale dropping are used in the Geisha facial there are other video on that link LOL
♫ ♪ Here comes the MOON little darlin',
Here comes t he MOON, little darlin'.
It's alright now,
Here c-o-m-e-s the MOON. ♪ ♫
Original song, of course, was the SUN....but those were the first words that popped into my head when I saw the big, orange globe rising in the ESE sky. Beautiful!
Margy, it's Bob Seger they are going to see, not Pete Seeger!
Yep, JudyE---you found it!!!! Pigeons it was!!!
Thanks for the Lunar Alert, Lynn...I see it NOW
not to be unsociable, but I cannot open the links and make thankful remarks right now...am working on a long important letter
so I will save Poop Shoot, JudyE, for my reward when done ☺
Margy, I don't think Mrs Robin is incubating the eggs...maybe that's why I've never seen her on them.
Ok Paula
I had read your posts from yesterday, just wondering, if there had been any change
Maybe, another clutch...another time..sure hope so...
We saw our first bat tonight!
Margy, wow, you sure have great taste in music!
a rather unusual mix of things, Lynne, that's for sure...
remember I have been on the planet for quite some time ☺
Going to close out here,
want to say to all, thanks for your wonderful insight, caring friendship, knowledge...it is remarkable, and that is an understatement !
Prayers for so very many things. Sometimes I take a set of rosary beads, and just go bead-by-bead with a need, rather than "say" the rosary. Sometimes I go around two or three times...there are that many people and things that come to mind
Good Night, all, hope that sleep is restful and sweet
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
JudyE...Nightengale poop! It was driving me crazy trying to remember which bird has the Precious Poop:) Thanks for looking it up!
Results from GG's X-ray...nothing broken (thank you, Lord). Now to find out what is causeing so much pain...probably her arthritis. She has a doctor appt. Wednesday...will talk more about problem to her doctor.
My porch is looking very nice...roof is on already and posts.
Wanda, good to know that GG doesn't have any fractures!
Wow, porch is coming right along!!!
Goodnight, Margy. Back to work tomorrow?? Rest up!
Yes, very good to know that GG does not have anything broken. Hope that the problem is discovered soon.
I am leaving for the night. Heading to the shower and then listen to the news.
Night all! Sweet dreams! And, special Momster prayers for Bev aka Sissy.
oh JudyE how awful. This has been such a bad year all around....sigh.
Good Night one and All
God Bless this nest and all whom watch it
Time to give my pillow some head
and my sheets some cheeks LOL
Sure hope they can figure out GG's pain Wanda. Let her know there are 2 eggs in the bluebird house already!
Good night JudyE, and Lolly
no Shirley tonight, or Leona or Jo. And where the heck has BEagle been.
Getting late again!!
Hope Sissy is better!! Lots of prayers tonight for lots of folks.
Had some help working today from mostly younger kitty! Scooter helped change sheets and tablecloth. She would like to tunnel underneath!
Too bad about the Maine nest,m & maybe your robin eggs, Paula.
Wanda, glad GG didn't break anything! Prayers for you guys, too & Lolly's back.
Time to say Pleasant Feather Dreams to all ;>)
Moon looks nice on the nest!
I'm heading to bed. Prayers for all, especially the Riffe's and the family tonight. See you in the morrow.
Lynne, I will tell her about your BB eggs. She displays her BB album on the table for all to see. She thinks it is special:)
Grandson discovered a cow bird egg in a finch's nest, Friday and removed it...lazy birds!
Soup Kitchen tomorrow and I will be cooking the entree...need some sleep.
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS FOR ALL
GET WELL, SOON, SISSY♥
Well, it was an aircraft carrier, if course!
oh, no worries about the robin's eggs...they lay 3 clutches per year...there will be plenty more robins.
Hope Sissy has a restful night.
Hitting the hay early, mowing the lawn wore me out!
Hugs to all ♥
What was an aircraft carrier????
Lynne, Jo is at the beach and only has dial-up there, so we probably won't see much of her. She's working hard supervising Mr. Ed and Kristen!!!
Shirley must have had a hard day at the schoolhouse.
And I, too, have wondered where BE agle went!
Loretta.....kitties under the sheets makes for a lumpy bed!
Wanda, don't overdo tomorrow!
I have an early morning meeting in Jefferson Co., so will say goodnight and probably won't see you all til afternoon. Meeting isn't a long one, but will run soem other errands while out.
Many prayers for many folks....bless the ill, bless the new life as well as the departed...bless the sad and lonely...Amen.
Well...Mrs Robin is snoozing on her nest...guess I should let it be.
The carrier the eagle was in. :)
That's very punny Sharon !☺
Prayers being said for Sissy and all who need them tonight.
Will be back with the early birds in a few hours.
Night, Night !
Happy April 19th . . .
Wonder if we'll get the sound back today? ☺
Good Morning Eagle buds!
Good morning hugs for Kay and WV Dana.
(( (( ♥ )) ))
Good morning Lori! It's 1.5 days until spring break day LOL!
More rain and thunder storms today.
WV Dana
I refer to it as the black hole. Having been through a loss like you and living with depression (and medication for half my life) I totally understand. Are you on meds now? If not you may need some at least temporarily. They help so much. Crying spurts and sadness are classic chemical depression.
If you want I'll go to a doc with you. I'll just come pick you up -we can go have dinner too & drive by the nest or something.
Most important is getting out and doing something, anything. So I hope you'll allow be to come to WV and take you to an early dinner at least. If you don't have a doc, I'd be happy to pick you up and take you to mine in Frederick.
Let me know. I'm here for you whatever you need. My email is on my blog. ♥
A BIG, BIG HUG!
Hi DanaMO!
Yeah - the nest is getting light!
How are my 3 flying labs? Frisbee, Javalin and Boomerang? Did I get all the names right?
You sure did! The are well fed and back to sleep! Stinkers!
How's your canine buddy this morning. Refresh my awful memory on his/her name! And you have a cat too right? And is the pig (in your avatar) yours as well?
That would be FloBear. He and Dalai both got baths yesterday. FB's fave thing to do after breakfast is to go back to bed, yes, my bed... and after a bath he likes to roll on the bed. You gotta be quick with those cuties!
Good Morning Lori n' Dana !
Lori, thanks for the loving hug--starts my day off on such a positive note ! I hope WVDana takes you up on your offer !
JudyE, are you luring ? Love the PSF video--looks like something we can all use if our time to call out "New Thread" comes ! LOL
I sure hope both eagles come by the nest this morning.
Lori, is Dalai your Llama ? Wink, Wink !
Yep I'm here -trying to get ready for work I have a dr appt this afternoon so will work till 12 Watching the news and drinking my hazel nut coffee
JudyE, the real question is, are you lurking ? I really wasn't envisioning you sitting on the dock fishing !!!
JudyE, hope that's a routine dr. appt. and that all is well.
It's raining, it's pouring in Columbus this morning. Only heard a bit of thunder about an hour ago, but if I exit fast you'll know why.
Good Morning JudyE and Kay!
Glad you enjoy your hugs Kay - That's why you get them! :)
yearly appt-- ya know have to get the prescription refilled and a prescription for the almighty boob smashing appt also LOL
and woke up with the sniffles think a cold may be comin on Darn it any who
Is it raining at the nest ? There is some odd movement that makes me wonder, but I'm not sure ???
OUCH JudyE! The big Squeeze - hate that one! But, you gotta do it.
I think it's just the graininess of the picture, but Megan will know when she hops on.
Hope you find it's just allergies, Judy, and good on you for a yearly exam and mammo !
Rude Dude On Nest
Eagle on nest
EAGLE IN THE NEST
I hope that was him hard to tell
yep there is the spot called it right
Truder, digging at nest cup area immediately
IT'S TRUDER
HE FLEW IN OVER 8 O'CLOCK
TRUDER MAKING NESTORATIONS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE NEST.
now doing his, twig moving at 6 spot, just threw one overboard, he's so awkward !
TRUDER LOOKING BACK OVER SHOULDER LOOKING OUT AT 10.
HE'S WORKING ON THE STICKS OVER BY 5 ON THE NEST WALL.
Kay, just saw Columbus on the news and your storms are heading my way! I'm pretty sick of the rain!
Turd trying to move a big branch, but he isn't man enough! LOL Ooops maybe he's giving up.
HE'S NOT WORKING VERY HARD ON HIS NESTORATIONS THIS MORNING.
How does the cat take getting a bath? My dogs have not had baths in quite some time. I figure why bother with all the rain and my yard being a mess. I just recently read something to that labs are "self cleaning" and since I read that I noticed it's really true.
Turds spots are really standing out this morning. Looks like 3 instead of one big one.
STANDING AT 5 AND LOOKING AROUND.
THE BLACK SPOT ON HIS HEAR LOOKS LIKE 3 LITTLE SPOTS TODAY - MAYBE BETTER CAMERA FOCUS?
SHOULD HAVE BEEN SPOTS ON HEAD
OOh what was that, that flew under the nest??? Did anyone else see that?
did anyon else see something fly under the nest on right corner
TRUDER KEEPS LOOKING OFF TO LEFT SIDE OF NEST.
Turd bird is in the nest.
yep I see the three maybe the feathers are changing
DanaMo It was big what flew so glad someone else saw it
I saw that thing fly through Judy.
I saw it to JudyE! If you looked away you would have missed it. Looked like a pretty good wing span, do you think it was Belle? Flew diagonally across the upper right corner of the screen.
POOF Rude Boy
Had to open screen wider he got so far to the right. I keep two windows open so I can blog and watch at the same time. Looked like he was going up the tree.
Off he went!
Good morning Lynn !
I think that was a Belle fly by. Any other big bird would have had Lib reacting. Well, maybe. Hard to figure hime out !
TRUDER GONE out at 5...
LEFT NEXT AT 6:29.
Truder exited from about the 5 spot
Lynn, are you getting ready for a meeting and errands ? Think I read that somewhere.
Hope our rain stops before my afternoon appt. for a haircut. The dinner I was planning to enjoy with the family last night was postponed. The out of town guests delayed their arrival by one day, so tonight's the night.
SORRY MARGY - JUDYe HAS TRUDER OUT OF THE NEST AT 6:28AM. THAT WOULD BE THE CORRECT TIME. I WAS TRYING TO WORK AND WATCH - NOT EASY FOR ME! :)
BBL Have a great day one and all
Bye, Judy, have a good one !
Have a safe day JudyE and enjoy the sunshine if you can.
I'll do an extra wince for you when you get near the mammo machine. :)
Before I go WHERE IS OUR SOUND Its past the 18 Just saying OK now its BYE BYE BIRDE and me Later!!!
I watched Truder's visit and did saw the eagle who flew by at two slightly below the nest...it seems to me he is not restoring the nest it is like dismantling it...twigs being tugged on and dropped one even!!! Good Morning every one...it is so early here I might head back to bed!!! It only 3:36 AM Pacific Daylight Time!!! Woke up suddenly but have not had enough rest...see you all in a few hours...
Hi Hoda, and yes, do get more rest ! It's way too early out there !
We have color !!! No sound.
Today's nest weather-Showers and thunderstorms...mainly this morning. Highs in the upper 60s. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 90 percent.
Morning everybody!
Good Morning, Eagle Pals !
Color is on, no sound...sorry I couldn't blog but I was watching!
Did not see arrival but did see departure...
Saw those "3 spots on Spot."
Hope everyone's day goes well today...
back to work for me
saw that I was all mixed up on the concert Sharon, Sissy (I hope) and Thelma are going to: BOB SEGER not PETE SEEGER - Thanks Lynn for setting me straight, but it sure led to some intersting music blog posts . Really need to get these eyes checked !
Can't blame Belle for flying by and opting out of landing on the nest. She undoubtedly knows he's just waiting to nail her ! He seems to have one thing only on his mind !
Ospreys in Finland Water nest, are really getting that nest fixed up, one is there now, both a little while ago
Hey there, Margy ! Happy to "see" you ! Sorry you have to get right back to work.
Thanks Megan,
Woof, more rain, so soon !
Getting ready for work now, have to disappear
(( hugs ♥ )) for everyone, cyber hugs...best I can do from a distance
xoxo ☺
Margy what's the Finland WATER nest link? Kate was asking about it yesterday. She says Hello!
And top o' the morning to you Megan ! Yep, sounds like our heavy rain is heading your way. I think you're almost due East of us, right ?
Lori:
Here is Finland Water Nest also referred to as Fin-Ferry because of the Ferry boats that motor past in the distance
Finland Water Nest
and Hello back to Katy ☺
I meant to type KATE
My daughter in Michigan reports snow falling---it's expected off and on all week there. Easter week and well into April, bummer !
Good Morning everyone! It's gray and dreary with rain on the way but the sun is shining in my heart!
saw the Truder visit. I've been here in "LurMo" (lurk mode!)
Hello Kay:)
not sure exactly where you are, I am in MD- only about 10-15 minutes from the nest.
Sorry, I never have time to keep up with all the comments this time of year.
Thanks for the link Margy.
Good morning Lynne, Lynn and Megan!
Megan, I'm in Columbus, OH. You are probably slightly ESE. I70 is the East-West route through here.
Hi Lynne, hope you're feeling good today, in spite of the gloomy weather. Did you watch the PSF video JudyE posted ?
Forgive me - good morning HODA!!!
AH, okay Kay.
Hello Lori and Lynne.
I wish it would stop raining every day, I need sunshine. This weather is killing my arthritic knees.
hmmm....maybe that's why my knees have been so annoyed recently.
yes Kay, I saw the PSF video...too funny!
OK early birds, I need to get some things done before getting ready for work. ((((SUNSHINE HUGS)))
BBL
Good morning! Just a quick hello. I am busy filling out my retirement paperwork. BBL.
Bye, Lynn HAGD !
Shirley, hello ! Retirement paperwork ! Yippee ! You won't be sorry ! This is the good life and I'm pleased you are about to find that out. Will that be effective at the end of this school year--in the next month or so ?
It will be effective the end of this school year.
I have to head out now to talk to the retirement lady. I will also be busy tonight teaching an SAT prep class.
From yesterday's Bear report:
We received the DNR veterinarian’s preliminary report on Jason today. It said the left knee was swollen to three times the size of the right knee. If poor Jason had an injured knee for awhile, it could explain his apparent lack of coordination and slower development while being the same size as Faith. Maybe he was just as well developed as Faith but had a hurt knee. If that’s true, no wonder he didn’t want to climb as high in trees as Faith or follow Lily as readily. No wonder he would hang back and cry when the others went off.
Jason had a number of bruises that the veterinarian attributed to bites. We don’t want to over-interpret this, but we can imagine him hanging back on the 0.42 mile trip on Friday, April 8th, and being picked up. Could that cause the bruising? One bite was across the head. We’ll know more when the University of Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory completes their tests on tissue samples.
Gotta finish gettig ready to get out of here. Later, peeps!
My heart breaks for Jason, poor cub.
I'm off to school. Time to get the chicks ready for their trip to the farm.
Guess I need to bring Myrtle the Turtle home today and probably for good since after spring break we only have 20 something days left.
Have a great day everyone!
Lynn, thanks for the Bear report. It's so sad to think of what poor little Jason went through. Doesn't sound like he had a fighting chance.
So long for a while Shirley, Lynn, Dana ! Wishing all well !
I'm heading for e-mail and newspapers. BBL
Morning everyone. I just looking in on Decorah and I can't believe it's snowing there.
MEGAN, re: your arthritic knees.
I started using Source Naturals (Amazon.com is cheapest) Hylauronic Acid JOINT COMPLEX. When I worked with horse vets we used to inject it into hocks, but this is a pill form and it's really taken away a lot of pain.
In reading e-mail, it occured to me that many of you might enjoy this Botany link. Easy to sign up for--some days more interesting than others, of course.
Botany
Good morning everybody. Sissy is still the same this morning. Not sure what time her doc will be in but hopefully they will come up with a solution. She is just really discouraged.
Gail L., a very dear friend from Bluefield, had a heart attack this morning and is being flown to Roanoke. She is really close to my age. Will let you know more later.
As for Eagle-Eyed Sharon, these 2 are making me realize that it's all good with me! :)
Good morning.
Prayer for Tara. So sorry about your Dad.
Robyn, good luck with exams. I feel your pain.
Nuthatch alert, our nest.
There's a NEW THREAD! with a neat picture
Quick scan and some coffee before I leave for school.
Megan, sure hope the rain stops over your way so you can take care of flowers AND get some relief for your knees.
Sharon, again, please give Sissy my best wishes for quick treatment and recovery. So sorry.
On a more positive note, congratulations Shirley. Nice time of year to begin the transition when the weather is nice and you can enjoy being outside instead of cooped up in a classroom.
Wanda, what's on the menu for tonight? Glad GG is going to talk with her doctor. Likely arthritis. Going to see someone myself in a couple of weeks. Fat and very painful thumb.
Lowreeda, hi! Some of my most fun times were "playing" with my Koko and Lily as they "assisted" me with changing bed sheets. Brought back lots of memories.
Well, need to try to make myself less scary so I go out into the world. Hope everyone has a good day.
Rain, Rain, go away...
My chicks left today :(

I hope we get an update soon on the injured eagle as to if it's male or female, if it still has a brood patch, and do they think the Eagle will be able to fly again? I haven't seen Belle at the nest for a couple days and it has me worried.
Teresa, JudyE, you guys are on the wrong thread!
Go to top of this page, click on the blue "shepherdstown eagle cam daily" and you'll see where to click for the new thread today!
No info so far on the injured eagle except that it's at the vet.
