Saturday

To answer the comment "Do we have and eagle expert at NCTC?"

NCTC has several bald eagle experts, as does the Fish and Wildlife Service Region, which NCTC is in. 

The Service has a long legacy with this bird, including the Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge, south of DC, which was the first National Wildlife Refuge established for an endangered species--the American Bald Eagle.  Also the Bald Eagle Repository in Denver, that helps prevent any trade in bald eagle feathers.

Fresh thread.

And wouldn't you know that little announcement ends up at the top of the page. :( Need to talk to Lynne about quitting.

DanaMo said...

LOL! Okay. I'll be here.

Lori O. said...

Great Dana - BBIAM.

DanaMo said...

Wow guess that was the "split". Didn't see that coming. I guess that's because I'm a newbie. LOL

Lori O. said...

Anything happen?

DanaMo said...

nothing :(

DanaMo said...

I'm sitting here looking at my kitchen cabinets wondering if I can stain them a darker color. I might take one off and try it today. My husband will LOVE that! Cause he knows it's a job I will start and he will have to finish.

DanaMo said...

Live cam is gray now.

Lori O. said...

Dana, I've figured out the best way to type the reports and make them bold caps is to type the first bold symbol then leave a few empty space and then type the closing 4 symbols for bolding. Then copy it. When you go to write the nest happenings, paste the bold symbols in the post box and type the report between the symbols. Then just tighten up by taking the space(s) out and send...or publish.

Lori O. said...

eagles have not returned yet

Lori O. said...

Guess I should have added to caps bold info make sure your caps lock is on. It's much easier.

I hope that helps.

LIVE CAM GRAY-EMPTY NEST

Lori O. said...

Dana, I have been looking at my kitchen cupboards with total disdain for 8 yrs now! I don't think a day goes by that I don't wonder what I can do inexpensively. Only mine are too dark. But not sure I want to paint over wood.

DanaMo said...

I didn't do it >:(

DanaMo said...

I don't know how to get bold...

DanaMo said...

I painted my cabinets in my old house and it worked out pretty well. My taste has changed and I don't want to paint them white which is what I did before. I need my contrast to my wood floors which are light colored.

DanaMo said...

get it in bold

Lori O. said...

Dana I just sent the symbols to your email.

Lori O. said...

copy those and paste in this box - put on caps lock and type in the space between the symbols.

DanaMo said...

okay. Though I've tried to make music symbols on FB with the code that people gave me but it wouldn't work on my computer. It was really strange, but I will try it. Didn't get the email yet.

Lori O. said...

remember to delete empty spaces between your last word and the symbol.

Lori O. said...

check in your spam box.

DanaMo said...

oh it went to gmail. I have to change that. I don't use that email.

Lori O. said...

I sent it again with a better demo.

DanaMo said...

OKAY LETS SEE IF THIS WORKS

DanaMo said...

COOL

DanaMo said...

Costume Lady said...

Costume Lady said...

Morning, Dana and Lori. Not a very exciting visitation this morning, was it?

paula eagleholic said...

Good morning!!!

I am in eagle heaven this morning! Saw two lone eagles soaring over the house this morning...then when I thought it couldn't get any better....ther were 4 immatures over the house at one time!!!

Lori O. said...

omgOSH! That is eagle heaven Paula. Lucky you!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning in our change Eagle World.

Neat Paula glad you brought the right place at the beach. You should enjoy all those eagles ( :

Wanda how is your knee?

Oh this is WVDana or DanaWV.

OUR NEST IS EMPTY RIGHT NOW.

DanaMo said...

OMGosh that is awesome. Where do you live again?

Lori O. said...

Hi Wanda. Very unexciting visit this morning. They're like an old couple now.

DanaMo said...

No not too exciting...but at least we got to see them even if only briefly.

I'm off to Mass. Catch up with everyone later.

Lori O. said...

Dana - guess we're delaying our chores, eh? Rather look for eagles. Waiting to see if WE had a chick.

DanaMo said...

That "where do you live" was at Paula, and I forgot you are at the beach. Which beach?

Lori O. said...

Good morning WV Dana.

Bye DanaMO

DanaMo said...

Well I've already vacuumed and scrubbed the tube. Lots to do, maybe if I do a little at a time and check the nest every so often it will be bearable.

DanaMo said...

oops scrubbed the "tub" LOL typing too fast.

Lori O. said...

Dana and I were complaining about our kitchen cupboards earlier...and I was thinking about how much I need to paint, too. Of course, Paula is getting that done this weekend. How do you do it woman?

Costume Lady said...

Well, Paula, it doesn't get any better than that!
Seems like a Road Trip may be in order;)

Lori O. said...

For those of us who like gardening, I found a hosta variety named LIBERTY online last night so I think I will get some as a tribute to Lib.

There's also a Peony called LIBERTY BELLE which would be awesome but I couldn't find a nursery that had it.

MEGAN - IF YOU CARRY THESE PLANTS OR KNOW WHERE WE CAN GET THEM would you please let us know? I would be forever grateful.

Lori O. said...

Paula I would have come along and helped you paint for a look at all your birds! :)

Costume Lady said...

Dana WV...my knee is not doing as well as I would like, but then, I can still walk with Mr. Eagle:)

Costume Lady said...

Paula, what is the body of water that your house is near?

Lori O. said...

Alright, Dana, Wanda, Paula, Have a great day!

Time for me to get moving. Don't want to waste a ray of sunshine today. Wish I could put Lolly's smiley sun avatar here.

Costume Lady said...

Eagle in the 12 o'clock position...?

wvgal_dana said...

9:12am Eagle in nest

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Did anybody know there is an eagle in the nest?

wvgal_dana said...

They need to straighten out the how blurry the picture is.

paula eagleholic said...

Robyn...has Laird returned?

The eagles have soared elsewhere...they were around for about 45minutes...saw an adult...and some 3 and 4 year olds

Lynn...I am definitely behind on my Grisham reading...only got 1 chapter read last night before I zonked out...don't have my dish hooked up here yet

nice here today....sunny but windy

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Wanda I put the time in bold letter that it arrived.

I is a bad picture we are looking at. They might need to lighten it some.

Costume Lady said...

Sunlight makes it hard to tell which bird it is...

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I think it is Belle. Don't see that ugly black spot.

wvgal_dana said...

They need to light the cam some. Before they had lightened it a few seconds ago you could not even till it had a beak.

wvgal_dana said...

Oh no there is "no black spot on head".

WV sUSAn said...

Lowes Update:
Laird aka 7Y returned at 7:50 this morning w lots of HP. Wooohooooo

Glad to hear we have had two in our nest this morning... I think. Glad to see Belle!!

Wanda. Hope your knee is better today. So sorry you're suffering.

Happy Sunday to all ! ! !

Let the games begin at LoTL!!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Paula. How exciting for you to see eagles at the beach house. They just follow an eagleholic everywhere!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Darn missed that picture. Eagle was facing us....feathers are straight across no inverted v ?????????

wvgal_dana said...

What does that mean??

No black spot on head??

No inverted v underchin feathers are straight across????

What does this mean??? Maybe I just missed the inverted v due to the live feed picture not the best.

wvgal_dana said...
