ooooo, I got wax and a Fishycure!
not looking like it's really heading your way though.
Glo, you are a Videographer Extrordinaire !!! Thank you for capturing the power and might of Ol' Man River when he overflows. Amazing.
In the 60's and 70's I drove over THE river, usually at St. Louis several times a year going back and forth from Columbus to Tucson. Every time the kids and I would belt that song out at the top of our lungs !
CarolAnne.....did you witness it with your own eyes???? Wow!!!!
Nice to see you back!
Glo's house isn't real close to the river, but it is her town, Diann!!
I hope you keep the stink bugs up there. We have enough insects that hang around here already
I'll bet you do in that climate Red! I hope they never get down your way.
Kay, you have email.
Shar, you do, too!
Thanks Lynne 2 and PA Nana For letting me know you watched the video and saw the flooding photos. I live aobut 5 mins from the river which I dearly love. Good news is its all up hill :-)
Ewwwww, Lynne. Just found another dead one.
Yes Lynne, the western counties are under a severe storm watch. About 40-50 miles NW of us as the eagle flies.
the L of V are light pink, I'd said, but they sure smell good! If you're ever up here, stop by and I'll share with you or anyone else. Have white ones too - everywhere! They both were given to me many years ago.
Just heard we had a Hawk fly over our side yard. No wonder there aren't any birds. No one got a good look at it so don't know what it was.
OOOOPS Sorry Kay. Didn't see you had stopped by to see the video /photos too. Glad you enjoyed them. Its a wonderful place but gets out of hand to some extent every spring. Davenport suffers badly because they refuse to build a permanent levee. They want their natural waterfront, but it does indeed cost them yearly. Some years more than others.
Lynne2, back a few you mentioned serenity, reminding me of the prayer we all know so well:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Thanks for bringing to mind a thought I need to practice far more often !
Shirley, I also gained inspiration from you today as you quoted The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
"Knowing" you all enriches my life each and every day !♥♥♥♥
I know, it is a very inspiration, supportive place, this blog!
Who mentioned the silver maple helios? Is that the only maple tree that has them? I don't mind them too much. The oak pollen threads are what I hate....but I can't see which oaks they are on....I have many types of oaks----and lots of those stupid things that make a terrible mess---and I am very allergic to them!
ARGH! I forgot to write down the day I saw 4 BB eggs....anyone remember?
There are 5 now, but the 5th would have been laid the day after the fourth. HA...how's that for MATH! I forgot to write in my nature journal but other than that, I've been doing pretty good
Lynn, we have a BIG silver maple tree in our back yard. It sheds its buds and then the "heliocopters" start falling everywhere. We've had many a little tree that had to be pulled from our gardens. Hard to keep caught up with them but am thankful for the shade in summer.
There are several huge Black Walnut trees on this property. One is close by and litters my deck with one thing or another Spring, Summer and Fall ! I love trees, but some are most definitely better than others !
How about those two big eyes staring out of the nest right now ?
and if you look close and have an imagination you can see a faint smile. lol
Sound is intermittent.
What a nice day I had at Busch Gardens need to get a showere before storm hits took over 300 pictures WOW BBL
I see it, Red ! ☺ Yes, that sound fluctuation is a bit annoying.
Okay, took another pix of my bleeding hearts, but it's a bit blurry. I'll try again tomorrow.
So sad about the eagle that died is that the eagle that got hit by a car???? saw on the front of blog.
JudyE, yes, that's the eagle. Apparently internal injuries were quite severe. Lynn said that was the worst possible scenario and she was right. 300 pictures ! Looking forward to seeing some of them. ☺
PA Nana, those Bleeding Hearts are lovely !
There's a falcon about to break through the egg at Harrisburg.
LOL, Kay and Red......the eyes and smile look very mysterious!!! Maybe it's an eagle version of the Mona Lisa!!!
Thankfully, no black walnut here. Had them at our first house and driveway was a perpetual mess!
Yes, JudyE, that's the one that passed. Glad you had a fun day with Jordyn.
Diann....love the Bleeding Hearts!
JudyE glad you had a great time today!
Love the bleeding hearts Diann!
Beechnut tree is my nemesis....Oh, it's a beautiful big old tree. Rust colored leaves right now, green later in summer and bright yellow in fall! It's the only tree close to the house, and it's REAL close. And sadly, I think that's where the SBs lived in summer. Our bedroom window is next to the tree. That seems to be the window of SB opportunity, so to speak. But we see so many birds in it, especially in winter when the leaves are off as they wait their turns to hit the feeder in the kitchen window below. But boy, it a messy dang tree!
Hmmm... I'm sure I saw a pip and a little beak peeking through but mom turned the egg opening toward her.
Red, what kind of flower is that? So pretty!
Must've been seeing things with these old eyes.
Hi,
Got the paperwork from the doctor's office and picked up the cat food and medication from the vets. When we got home, the house washer was here and we had to rush around and finish taking off window screens so he could get the windows.
The poor critters were a bit worried about all of the strange noises and smells.
I did not know he was coming this afternoon, but wasn't really surprised. Now the outside of the house is nice and clean.
Some pictures Glo!
Glo, I left comment on the video on FB yesterday or Sat.!
Shirley, I'm sure it feels good to have that job finished!!! I need mine washed down and then the log treatment applied. Last time it cost me $2G's.....checking in to a group called CollegePro.com.....sounds like it might be the way to go.
My house is vinyl. It cost $195.00. The guy gives a discount to people in the neighborhood. The house was not too bad this time, but it is nice to have it done.
I will need to put some waterproofing on the porches, but I can do that myself.
Hedgie sorry I must have missed your comment on facebook. Glad you saw the video and any others who have watched Also Hedgie You have a message from me on facebook.
wow the nest looks like a lipless face...
Is there a Facebook page to this blog? How do I get to it? Maybe there are individual Facebook accounts? I read about Facebook on this blog frequently...
Belle on the nest
I guess I'm the only one here right now Belle its just us she is at 11 spot back to cam
POOF BELLE
Many of us have facebook pages Hoda!
I got a quick video of her she flew off at the 3 spot
I saw her Judy E and she was not on for long at all, it was good to see her, I posted on WOW...Thanks for answering about Facebook Lynne.
I'm gonna post to my face book page only 1 min
Shirley, a vinyl house for $195.00! Wow! I'm headed your way with a real estate agent.
I am happy, Judie. The guy is a Culpeper High School graduate, though from before my time there. I got his brother's name to do my gutters and fix the loose piece of siding.
JudyE what kind of flowers are those?
LOVING the flower avatars!
Lynn2 Its a Jacaranda trees they are all over Fl bloom only two times a year I love the tublar flowers almost like a capecode honeysuckle They are really messy trees tho Lurking mode gonna get some tv time in BBL
LOL, Judie!!!! Wouldn't we all love Shirley's house at $195!
Hoda, no blog FB page....but like Lynne2 said, many of us have our own!
JO.....where ARE you?? Did you see the kids on the WH cam??
Rebecca said they would pay $600.00 for their townhouse. I find that hard to believe. Not an end unit, though they have a deck.
I see Belle covered up the left "eye"!
bird on nest
Eagle alert. Truder.
Tbird is what I meant
First belle and now him just as I was gonna watch some tv
poof
Poof.
Watching DWTS. We saw Swamp People earlier.
Anybody else on here watch Swamp People?
Mema Jo did you go to THE White House? I just read about the Easter Egg Roll and saw some picutres...30 thousand people they said were there...did you go?
This would be really AWESOME...do you live in DC or Virginia?
Thanks for the information on Facebook I have an account there but do not visit it often...
A new article about our nest...
Eagle Cam Drama Continues to entice viewers
Speaking of Charleston...we haven't seen BEagle...
Hoda, Jo's grandkids went to the White House easter egg roll.
Good Evening Everybody. Did some chores, then took a Panda nap & now laundry is working. Kitty came up from basement & I thought she put clothes in dryer. NOT!!
Sorry to hear about all the SBs.
Lynn, I mentioned the maple keys. All the different maples around here have them. Silvers are larger than reds. What a pain.
If anyone wants to see the video of Belle short visit I posted to Face Book
I also have my face book link on my profile if you want it BBL LM
Thanks Paula for the article, it read like a real story for a novel also thank you for the news of Mema Jo's grand kids...what a wonderful opportunity it all is and it will be fun to hear how they were with it...at least I hope Mema Jo says something about it...
Raining here......any place else?
Watching DWTS and just finished paying bills. UGH!
Hoda, Jo lives in MD. Her granddaughter and g-sil and gg'kids are up from Ft. Bragg in NC and went to yes, THE White House!
SB count at 4 for the day inside.
Paula, I was wondering about BEagle a couplke of days ago...don't have an email addy for her.
I just checked, and I do have email address. I sent her a note.
Oh, good grief. Nobody can get it right. Belle was NOT abandoned. Her "husband" was assaulted and chased away......by the "suitor". She got it right later but why start out with a fallacy??? Journalists today need to go back to school.
Oh, good, Paula, thanks!!! Hope she is okay.
Things suddenly got lighter at nest....but not as in nightlight!
Thanks, Lowreeda!!! Imagine I have several varieties of maple---only know that I don't have any reds or Japanese!
LOL....you need to train that cat better!!
Make it 5 SB's----one just flew at my face........sick!!!
Sounds really windy at the nest.
Hello all!
The night light has been set on automatic for 11:00pm. Restful sleep for all.
Good night, Judie.
Hedgie, my flower is a purple zinnia.
I know it's very early, but that's the kind of guy I am...
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
A VERY GOOD
TUESDAY MORNING TO
YOU ALL.
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
I had a very happy Easter celebration, and I hope you did too.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Glo I just sent it to your Facebook after I accepted your request
Good evening everyone - breezy out but no rain even though that is what it feels like.
I don't have any real comments yet
about Egg Roll since Bragg Bunch are driving home - should be getting there soon. I know it was
extra hot and their tickets were for 12 noon. I am thinking they should have also been hungry. The cam was very clear that covered the grounds but I just didn't see them on it. Hoda the military
received tickets and since the kids were coming up to MD they decided to ask for them.
Going to watch TV for an hour
BBL
I'm heading for bed...good night and prayers for all!
May miss SSCC in the AM. Have to be at work earlier than usual....
My bedtime too. see ya tomorrow.
Guess who has a birthday tomorrow?
John James Audubon.....born 26 April 1785.
Jim, you are too funny!!!! Hope your Easter was good----did yu go to your sister's?? I know you didn't just wake up----so what have you been into today?? Just lurking?
Red, pretty zinnia!
Thank you Mema Jo about your comment on the egg roll. God Bless the Military and all who serve in it. The kids are fortunate to go to the White House. I visited it when I was an AFS student and contiune to feel it was a very special opportunity for me. I hope they enjoyed them selves and I am glad they got the tickets to attend.
That's nice they got to go, Jo. Bless them!
Hi all! Well, I did jinx the rain. Shame on me! It went south of us this time. We did not even get 1/10th of an inch! Laurel on the other had spent from 3:10 to 4:00 with her students in tornado positions. She said it was NOT fun. Joey, at home with the boys and Bosco went into the closet under the stairs with Bosco. They could not find Isabelle the cat.
Finished putting out the mulch and then worked in the front yard.
Then we got a call that they would like to install our carpet tomorrow not Wed. So, we have been dismantling the house. Groan! Oh, they will move the furniture but we have had to dismantle the entertainment center that Jack built, take books off the bookcase, etc! More fun!
We have had bad weather all around, a tornado near us BUT we did not get anything.
Goodnight, Judie, Lynne, and Red.
Sorry the rain was a fizzle, Lolly, but GLAD that the bad stuff stayed away!
Don't you hate that rushed feeling of having to do something before you planned on it???!!!
Dried, hung, folded all the laundry, now to dry the hair!yuck
Hope everyone has a good evening, and if I'm not back,
Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)
(((((hugs)))))
Sounds like a lousy day north of you, Lolly. Glad they were all OK. Sorry the rain fizzled out!
Crossing fingers here that the rain this week won't be bad! Isn't that awful! We have had too much, and I am complaining about it!
I don't know how you all fared with this 80° weather, today, but it just DID ME IN!
Capt. Gene and I both had our eyes examined today...had mine dilated. The glare from the computer still hurts my eyes...pupils are still big and black:) Didn't have time to get new glasses, had a doctor appt. at 2:15 (left the ophthalmologists at 1:50)...got to that appt. right on time. Had about 20 bumps removed from my chest and had two on my forehead re-done. Yes, LYNN, it was Dr. Hurst. Felt a bit weird baring my my "girls" (partially) for such a good-looking man;) Need more done later:(
Going to call it a Good day and
say Good Night everyone - sleep
well and pleasant dreams.
Hugs to all ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Coming close to Caboosing it here
Just finished catching up with the posts
Neat article, Paula, thanks.....
basically pretty down to earth and accurate, except for the "abandonment" reference that Lynn mentioned...
just maybe a rather indelicate choice of words....
did you all see that BWO thinks possibly three eggs?
and a weird thingy on the BWE cam...very weird
am denying that I just got wax...
really enjoying all the pretty flower avatars
GREAT informational post at 1:48 pm by Lynne2 about the Phoenix Wildlife Center
and Lights Out for migrating birds
Whee Doggy, got me a serving of fried potatoes and ramps to take to work Tuesday...
☺
Wanda
hope all works out okay with the eyes and lesions/lumps
Ospreys/s in all three Finland nests ☺
Glo
I will treat myself to your pictures in the morning...before work...
need to head for the pillows real soon here
Lynn
I always take Dry Run Rd -Parks Gap back thru Tomahawk then to Rt 9
and then take 9 the rest of theway, unless I have more time to take River Road and some others
Well, sounds like a good day at Busch Gardens for JudyE, and figure a fun report coming up Tuesday from Jo for the Bragg Bunch at the White House Egg Hunt also....
Whoo, scary Lolly, about the tornado precautions in Denton for Laurel, Joey and the boys and Bosco...was Isabelle the cat, found?
Well the Night Bandit has struck....
better find some sleep, my two days off are over :(
Good Night, Eagle Friends....
Prayers for all with ailments and troubles,
and Grateful Prayers for many gifts given
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xox ♥
My sister, Sharon, and hubby Dan will be here Friday. They are in their RV and traveling with another RV. Have not met these people but they will be here with Sharon and Dan on Friday. Nice that my house is torn to pieces! Trying not to panic.
Will work on cleaning the patio tomorrow while they are installing carpet. That gives me Wed to get the house back in order, Thurs to mow, and Friday cook. Yes, I can do this! I am woman! LOL
Actually, I know Sharon and Dan will be here Friday. The other couple may not be here until Saturday. Will be busy this weekend.
Going to read now. Time to put my feet up and relax.
Nite all!
Sweet dreams!
Night to those turning in...headed that way myself!
Thanks for all the eagle reports today!
Hugs to all ♥
Wanda, he is just TOO good looking!!! And very kind!
Okay, Margy...got your route now....knew you had talked before of going on 9, so wondered what back roads you meant---was thinking River Rd. never thought of back road on the other end of the trip!!!
Lolly, you WILL be busy!!! Don't overdo!
Night all from me, too! Sleep tight!! See you all in the morning light! Prayers for all.
Howdy, Everyone!
Thought I'd better try to catch up here before it got TOO late!
Lynn, I did get the errands done. I know what you mean. It seems as if they take a big chunk out of your day.
I'm enjoying all the flower avatars, too! I'll have to look for one of my own.
Think I'm going to get some transcription done. It's pretty quiet here at the moment, so it's a perfect opportunity.
Judie, thanks for the night light!
Hope you've been able to wade through all the papers to grade.
Prayers being said for everyone here--especially those in need of healing. Prayers for those dealing with nasty storms, too. The eye-scanner security and WV Dana's thumbprint-scanner security are enabled. I'm checking to make sure the porch light is on. Sleep tight, everyone, and I will talk to you tomorrrow. God bless, and goodnight! Love all of you! :o]
Nite all. Time for sleep here.
Prayers for all and ((((((Hugs)))))
(((HUGS))) from me too,
AND PRAYERS FOR ALL
I am so sorry to read about the eagle, I was hoping it would have survived, but I did find some wonderful news, I kept hearing how osprey's only lived until 8 or so but that is not the truth at all, I read on nat geo and a few other places they can live up to 30 years with 25 years being the avg age.
I hope everyone had a wonderful easter
Good HOT morning Eagle Babes!
69 degrees in DC now! Waiting for light at the nest, so I'll go make the coffee.
The Sunrise Sycamore Cyber Cafe is serving Columbian Fair Trade Select Coffee this morning. Go help yourself.
Big Hugs for the Early Birders: KayIM, JudyE, DanaMo, Margy and Megan.
Good Morning Eagle Fans !
The nest is dark and quiet as I wait for Barista Lori to officially open the SSCC for the day. I think she's rustling around in there, selecting and preparing "the coffee of the day".
Meantime...
Wanda, what a trying day you had. Hope you rested well and feel refreshed.
Lolly, I'm tired out and need a nap and a fig newton after reading about all the things you must do before your sis arrives !
Robyn, interesting Osprey stats--close to those of Bald and Golden Eagles. Hope you and Tori had a nice Easter !
Margy, "fried potatoes and ramps"--the first I love and the latter is What ??
Leona, hope the cast is on and you'll be rejoining us soon ! Praying for good and complete healing.
Okay, going to see if the door is open....if not I'm off to visit several Osprey aeries and will be back here soon.
Heart breaking about the Eagle hit by the car. Devastating really. Why so much bad, sad news for our eagles this year?
Hey Lori ! What a good selection for the day ! I'll go ahead to the Ospreys and be back here when the coffee's done. {{{{{Lori}}}}}♥♥♥♥
Found Isla brooding and looking good on a sunny Scottish day. Finney One, no birds in sight, area seems to be overcast. Finney Two an osprey broods on a bright n' sunny day.
Lori, I'm thinking this is probably a typical year in Eagledom, but the growing interest in eagles and the increasingly better network for broadcasting wildlife news makes it seem like a worse than usual year. Of course, much has gone awry very close to home for us. :(
Good Morning KAY!
The Sunrise Sycamore Cyber Cafe is open whenever any early birder arrives! Come on in!
Hmmmm, good ! You've done yourself proud today with this Colombian brew. Great way to start the day !
I think I saw JudyE sneakin' in for Joe to Go a minute ago. She likes to stay in LM while preparing for her work day.
Did a miss a link for a Glo video? I love her stuff!
Glad you're here early - the eagles swooped in on a surprise wind yesterday - before 6am!
I think our tea lovers should know they're welcome, too. The SSCC always has a tea kettle on the back burner and a nice selection of teabags is available.
Just pick up on a Glo avatarr and go to her blog. You'll find a great video there, showing the flood waters, etc.. Great version of "Ol' Man River" to go with it !
Yes, I saw how early they arrived yesterday and was so glad you were free to do most of the report !
Funny you should mention tea - I was thinking about that this morning.
Full sunlight on the nest now, sound cutting in and out.
Lynn made me think of tea when she said she loves it, and hates coffee. I gave up coffee for tea from Winter of 1986 to Spring of2010. Lost my taste for it after a bout with pneumonia. Last Spring I realized my taste buds had changed again when coffee began to smell good and I just had to have a cup. Now I have two mugs each morning.
I drink a glass or two of decaf iced tea a day, year round and other than that it's water, water, water. Which reminds me, how is the diet going---you started one yesterday, right ?
Good morning beautiful people! Sorry I have not been on for a few days. Still trying to recover from Bob Seger!! What an awesome experience! We had a ball!!!
Hope everyone has a great day today. I will be lurking as usual but trying to stay on task with work today! Love and hugs all around!!
Prayers for all that need it today. I friend of ours is getting ready to bury her 8-year-old grandson this week. He died very suddenly from what they think was bacterial meningitis. So heartbreaking for them. Woke up sick on Friday morning and was dead 6 hours later. So very sad.
Hi Sissy ! So glad to hear you all enjoyed the concert so much ! That was such sad news about the little boy. My prayers continue for the family. Losing a child has to be THE worst thing a person encounters on this journey.
Eagle arrives
Belle In The Nest
TBird in nest
Belle and now truder joins her
both immediately picking at fluff in nest cup area. Color returens !
Boy am I a whooped puppy today I guess being in the sun all day has done me in When my clock went off at 6 I just didn't want to get up
Some one brought in some greenery at the nest
Belle plucks out big feather !
Truder tends to more rail destruction at 6 spot and Belle sits at 12
POOF BELLE
poof Belle
sounds like Belle perched herself very near the camera
Morning all, see Truder is still in the nest.
Today's nest weather-Partly sunny. Scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. Some thunderstorms may be severe. Highs in the lower 80s. South winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph. Chance of rain 40 percent.
Good morning. I see Truder at the nest.
Hi Megan ! I don't like the sounds of "severe thunderstorms". Thanks, as always for the report !
POOF TBIRD
Poof!
Hi Kay!
We were lucky yesterday and missed the severe storms here, hope that happens again today.
Hey there, Shirley ! It's back to work for you today, I believe. The countdown is on !!!!!!
How would you like to come home to this Was just on the news so I thought I would share
Alliagtor In Bathroom
Yes to both, Kay.
Good Job on the visit Kay, JudyE, Shirley!
Sorry I was tied up here at work and came in halfway through the visit.
Yikes!!!
An alligator would be much worse than a stinkbug!
BBL.
Yikes, JudyE ! I have to say I was happy to leave Tarpon Springs to the alligators, snakes, deer flies.....it was not the place for me .
Shirley, what kind of bird is providing that beautiful song this morning ?
I posted a picture on my flower blog that shows a chart they were giving out at the talk at NCTC on stink bugs. It shows what their eggs and the nymphs look like before they become adults, in case you are not aware what they look like.
Poof Judy has to go to work see ya at lunch or maybe not I have to go get my driverlicence from my daughter she had our ID yesterday when we went to BuschGardens and I forgot to get it
Good morning everyone. I won't get to watch much today. This body is worn out and still have the rest of the kitchen to go! My body aches!
Missed the nest visit! That's been happening a lot on spring break!
Megan-I too am glad all those storms missed us. I hope the ones predicted for this afternoon miss too. We have much to get done!
Pools open, anyone for a swim???
What is that green in the nest, at about the one o'clock position? Something brought in or uncovered. Or is it my computer screen?
Oh Megan thanks for the stink bug info. I'm going to check your blog. I haven't seen many yet this spring but I know that doesn't mean they aren't lurking!
That's interesting, Megan. So far no stink bugs sighted here, though I know they've invaded Ohio, too. Have you seen any articles on the prospects of importing a certain Asian Wasp who could eradicte SB's ? There was an article in our Sunday paper about it.
Oh, and I think Red said they are not in Alabama, but yes, brown marmorated stinkbugs have been spotted and identified in several counties there.
Also, that's a mockingbird singing at the nest, never met a bird that liked the sound of it's own voice so much.
Good morning Dana ! Those green leaves were not brought in by Belle n' T., but showed up once the color came on. Down closer to the 6 spot the dark thing you see is the feather Belle plucked out today.
Yes, we have native parasitic wasps here, but they have not able been real successful at killing the invader stink bug. But I'm not real keen on releasing another non native bug to deal with the problem, or spraying any toxin that I can get that might or might not kill the bugs. They think they have isolated the pheromone from the Sb and will be able to use that to develop a trap, like the way a japanese beetle trap works.
G☼☼d Morning Eagle Pals...
I am going to get marked down for tardiness !
Got to bed late, was so sleepy this morning I was trying to hit the snooze button but not sure what I was hitting !
Thanks for the Nest Reports !!
xoxo
Thanks Megan, I was afraid to trust my feeling that it was a mockingbird and appreciate your confirmation.
Dana, good luck with finishing that major project ! You're about a month ahead of Central Ohio in opening the pool. My daughter has one, but it's no where near warm enough yet.
All THREE Finland Osprey nests are currently empty so you can see the mottled little egg that looks like a rock at Finney Two....
very unusual the bird is not on the nest...
BWE still has something koooky on the lens and BWO is thinking, three eggs
How is everyone this morning?
Good, I hope...
Thanks Megan for the weather report, and, for the information on Mr. Galvin yesterday...
appreciate both !!
thnk I need coffee AND tea this morning and plenty of caffeine with both !
Megan thanks for the stink bug info - I'm checking that chart immediately! Little, pesky, crusty, foul smelling, misery making stink bugs!.
DanaMO - I'm up for swimming! Thanks for the invite. :)
Good morning to you Margy, the coffee's still on and hot !
Megan, I thought the same thing when reading about the wasps--not sure I'd like having them around either ! Hope the "pheromone" idea pans out and soon. SB's are not just annoying in households, but apparently very destructive to crops.
Love your bluebird Lori !
like what you said about the mockingbird, Megan....liking the sound of its own voice so much!
They are chirpers for sure!
OH, I have heard towhees and indigo buntings, waiting to SEE them.... (not here, but out in the country...) by the way, hope you get your Brown Thrashers and Catbirds soon.....
Stink bugs are destroying crops and it's going to be an even bigger issue if we don't figure it out quickly. Mid-Atlantic apple growers lost $37 million last year from damage to their crops by stink bugs. They don't even take into account the damage they are doing to vegetable and flower crops.
Happy going on all your projects, DanaMo...
don't work too hard, and make time for some Blog Breaks...
time for me to head to work...
Kay IM, I have that hot cyber-coffee right now!
Two O's at Finland One, One at Finney ONe, and none at Finney Two
one better show up back there soon!
Best wishes for a Good Day, everyone
See you much later on today.
xoxo ☺ ♥
Hope the birds start eating the Stink Bugs very soon, that is awful news about the damage...
thanks for all that Megan, though I wish it were not so !!
Prayers, Sissy and Sharon and for your friends grandson...
so very sorry about that
too sad, the loss of a child
Hope all you Early Birds have a good day at work and can check back in soon. Guess I'm the only retiree among us, until June 14th.
Ha, that black bird doesn't know it's illegal to take possession of an eagle feather !!! For shame !!!
On to the newspapers and a look at Ospreys and other eagle nests as they begin to greet a new day.
BBL
The blackbird is probably saying "Hi, honey, I'm here to feather our nest !", right about now.
Good Morning!
Can't stay long, have to boogie out to work soon, then babysitting tonight.
Margy, I hear a Towhee every single day, all day, right across the street where there is a big field and some woods. Went to look for it last week, no luck.
Thanks Margy.
The Bluebird is actually a resident sitting on top of a bird house at home.
Good morning everyone. Getting ready for more storms here today and tomorrow. Sure wish we could send some of this to the area in Texas where they're having wildfires.
Good morning!
Red, you are getting the storms we had yesterday. Good luck! The fires were rained on a little Sat or Sun, not sure. The fires destroyed 160 homes in the PK area and 2 churches. They think it will be contained or out in another week. It would be nice to get more rain, but todays possibility will be more in east Texas.
Oh, that poor woman and her cats! An alligator! Yikes!
Stink bugs are not here. Oh, we see an occasional one but not the type you have. Thank goodness!
I am up, dressed, made up and hair in place, ready for the carpet guy! Annie even thinks the house looks strange. Jack removed the mirror off of my dresser and the bed is stripped. All tops of furniture is stripped of belongings. Looks bare!
Wow are we still up and running?
Kay - I think you asked...about ramps...
it is a bulb plant like onion and garlic, but with a character all its own
you can google it and find lots of interesting recipes...
AND, in WV there are Ramps festivals, it is that popular here in West Virginny
Like getting new carpet, but would like to wave a magic wand and have it done. Also, do not like having strangers in my home. Help! An invasion of my privacy!
Oh Hi Lolly
be carefui, now, no heavy lifting !!!
maybe the carpet guys will un-heave some stinky bugs...
Megan, we do have stink bugs in Alabama and they are not a problem but I believe they are not the Brown Marmorated variety because I can remember them from my childhood days on the old farm.
Good morning, Margy! And how are you this fine morning?
Just called to get an appointment to get my do done. It is past due! Barbara is going to call me back. Gonna get beautiful and the Beauty shop! Wahooo!
Same here, Red, concerning the stink bugs. Always have had them...just not the kind they were gifted with in the east.
Okay, I need to go. Have some more things to remove from furniture. Also, time to read the paper.
Back at'cha later!
Finished the paper and see that no one has returned. Thought I would take the plunge and see if I get post 400.
