I have a life-sized grocery display cut-out of Dale and it is one of my prized possessions! Carolyn was working at Food Lion back then and got it for me.

Ground to cloud has finally stopped! 3 hrs. was a long seige.

hedgie said...

I made the split---painless, as always!

Linda said...

We ran to the phone to call our Mom and the glass door blew in on us. We ran to the other side of the house and those windows blew in next. It was awful.

Linda said...

Okay, so I was talking about the tornado on the previous page and found myself on this page!! Oh well!!

Lynne2 said...

OMG Linda....how HORRIBLE!!! I cannot even imagine how scared you all must have been. I would think something like that would stay with you FOREVER.

Lynne2 said...

It's like the Wizard of Blog Linda....LOL!

Linda said...

Yeah! We actually lost everything! Clothes, furniture, home, everything. Had to live in a hotel for quite a while.

As a kid I thought that was neat at first, but it wore off pretty fast!

Linda said...

You could literally walk up the stairs of the house and near the top there was NOTHING left! No second story.

Linda said...

Okay, so I'm blabbing......

I think I better head up the stairs and catch some zzzzzzz's!

I'm really saying Good Night this time!!

I don't want to become a BLOGAHOLIC,like someone else I know!! LOL! ☺☺☺

Leona said...

Great pictures Paula.

Lynne2 said...

OMG how terrible....I'd have peed myself.

They are really getting nailed in parts of the Midwest...but there are some cool pics on FB The Weather Channel Page.

Not looking forward to tomorrow....lots of us in the line of fire for severe weather. Prayers for everyone's safety....hope Glo is OK!

HOLY CRAP the lightning here just keeps getting worse and it isn't even raining anymore~!

Lynne2 said...

WHO, ME???? Good night Linda! LOL!

Lynne2 said...

Reports of tennis ball sized hail in Kansas City.....

Leona said...

Was there an eagle in the nest tonight?

Lynne2 said...

Not sure Leona....

hedgie said...

Linda, loved your typo----foowilod. Dont know what you were meaning to say!!! So sorry about your tornado experience. Very scary, I'm sure.

Lynne, I don't mix plumbing with storms, either. Not wise when on a well!

Goodnight to all turning in. Sleep peacefully, and hope your early mornings are bright ones.

Now to look at some pics!

Lolly said...

Fantastic pictures, Paula! How exciting to see that many eagles today.
Wow!

Linda said...

YEAH, YOU, LYNNE2!!!

I'M OUT OF HERE!

BE SAFE ♥♥♥

Leona said...

Night to those going to bed. Everyone with storms be careful.

Lynne2 said...

Ocean City looks like it's getting nailed too.

Lolly said...

They just showed the Decorah nest on our news. They act like this is a brand new thing. LOL But, it was exciting to see it on the news.

Lynne2 said...

oh, you going to bed now Linda....yeah, sure!

Lolly said...

I am putting my nose in a book.

Nite all!

Sweet dreams!

Leona said...

Nite Lolly

Leona said...

I am having so much fun. I have been picking on my niece for days now on face book. She is now going to sick my kids onto me. Ha ha!!!

hedgie said...

Lynne, they showed the storm over Randallstown on the DC channel weather report.

I know my sis said they were expecting BAD weather around St. L----hope they don't get hail like KC got!

hedgie said...

Lolly, they showed Decorah on the CBS evening news, too. I commented earlier that they acted like it was all brand new and unheard of!!! LOL!

Lynne2 said...

OK, things are finally calming down out there now.

Lynne2 said...

wow, we made the DC weather news huh? Glad it's just about over.

hedgie said...

Bear report

paula eagleholic said...

Ooops got lost in the split! Put the house pictures on my blog, too.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh Wow, PA Lynn, sounds really scary being in that tornado...something I hope I never have to experience.

Lynne2 said...

Great pics Paula! thanks for sharing them!

well, here comes more lightning. UGH. According to the radar, we should be in the clear. This is turning into the storm from hell that's never going to leave......

hedgie said...

All seems to be quiet, so heading for tub. Goodnight, my sweet friends. Prayers for all.

Leona said...

Night Hedgie

paula eagleholic said...

Hitting the hay here too...back to work tomorrow!

Hugs to all ♥

Leona said...

Night Paula

Lynne2 said...

goodnight everyone.....going to wrap it up here and hopefully get to bed soon. Prayers for all!

Leona said...

Night Lynne2

Scott said...

Thanks everyone...

@NatureNut Yes, this nest is in Front Royal, roughly 10 minutes from where I live. I heard rumors about it last week and then Friday afternoon I found that DGIF actually banded two chicks in it last year and were planning on doing the same this year. This person gave me more exact a location, so sure enough, found it about an hour later. Problem was we had to look thru trees to see them, so I needed to find a better way to get a good shot. Found a family member that had land very close who gave me full access. a bit of a walk, but well worth it. I'll be tracking the progress of these two from now on, and am planning on contacting DGIF to be out there to take photos during the banding.

Leona said...

Scott I think everyone has gone

NatureNut said...

Lost in Blogland!!
GREAT pictures,Paula. If we ever need a brain vacation, can look at your pics!!

Got hair trim today down in Dunkirk, MD & hairdresser said she saw eagle chick hatch on news last night!! Probably Decorah---their camera is the trick!
Osprey cam at Park,when it was working good at start-up had 2 nest cams, joy stick & zoom!--We think cams are OK, just the connections not good from there to the outer world. Trying to get it online-DUH.

PA Lynn, how awful about tornado!!!

Think I will call it a day--downloaded all 4 car pics Fubby took at show!Am trying to figure out each dwnld method & who works right---not found yet! May be calling "Peggy"!

Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)

NatureNut said...

P.S. Wow, Scott, that is great!!!
For banding, we'll need "Video at 11"!!LOL

Robyn said...

Oh my gosh! There is so much to read but after writing this report up past 2 days not sure I could focus on it. Well I have completed another week of school.

I hope everyone is doing well this evening. I skimmed over a few posts well more then a few and saw someone mentioned... Liberty?

Susan I feel honoroed to have witnessed both returns this weekend, Odin and Laird... sometimes insomnia isn't a bad thing. Maybe my mom will hook me yet with those 2 nests. which means more phone calls daily lol

Paula how awesome is that, they knew exactly who to trust for a visit.

Robyn said...

It's already getting light over in Scotland, EJ and Odin in nest, Isla in hers or maybe it is Laird...

Costume Lady said...

Hi Robyn..
Early this morning or yesterday (not sure which), there was an eagle in the nest, didn't look like Belle or Truder and I thought it might possible have been Lib. Not sure because it was on the still cam.

Robyn said...

Wanda that would be wonderful if it was, what do they neEd tHe nest for now since they aren't incubating or raising young. Maybe if ii was Lib he took the opportunity to understand what he needs to do now... ;)

Costume Lady said...

They say Belle & Truder are Bonding in the nest...I call it FOOLING AROUND;)

I posted the photo on my Wild and Wonderful blog, if you would like to check it out.
I'm heading to bed...see you tomorrow.
Nite:)

Lori O. said...

Good Morning Wanda and Robyn!

Lori O. said...

Sweet dreams if your head hasn't hit the pillow yet Wanda.

Robyn said...

sweet dreams

Robyn said...

Good morning Lori

Lori O. said...

Lynn, I but up laughing everytime I read about your life size cutout of Dale! Where do you keep him? lol

Lori O. said...

Hey Robyn what's up?
I just got finished reading the last two pages of blog. How lucky is Paula to have a bird sanctuary like that? Awesome.

Lori O. said...

That should be BUST UP laughing Lynn about your Dale standup cutout.

Lori O. said...

That is one dark & very grainy picture of the nest this morning.

Lori O. said...

I was already sleeping when huge storm hit last night. HOLY COW! So glad I wasn't up to hear PA Lynn's story about the tornado then try to go to bed. Don't think I'd have slept. LynnPA that must have been horrific.

Lori O. said...

Did tons of yard work yesterday. I blew leaves for three hours and my elbow is killing this morning. But it looks great outside - or did before that storm came through last night. I love standing on the deck and surveying all my work when it's all cleaned up. Wish I felt the same about housework! :)

Lori O. said...

Have a great day everyone. Sure wish we had more last night West Coasters, or more all nighters around here. Too quiet this morning.

Lori O. said...

'night Robyn!

Robyn said...

Same here Lori, suppose to be 75 tomorrow or so I read hopefully I can get out tomorrow and clear my garden up a bit more, past 2 days have been school work and tuesday starts again...

Lori O. said...

LIVE CAM DOWN AGAIN.

Geula said...

Good Morning people! What kind of night light do they have at the Decorah nest?

Lori O. said...

Good Morning Geula! I hadn't seen the Decorah nest in the dark, but that is a great set-up, isn't it? It's a nice bright picture, so crisp even in the dark! That's incredible.

DanaMo said...

Morning Lori and Guela

DanaMo said...

Geula, sorry

DanaMo said...

Bad time for a blue screen!

DanaMo said...

That is a beautiful picture. Lot's of white noise though.

stronghunter said...

Good morning!

Having my morning coffee. I am just checking in. See you later.

DanaMo said...

Good morning. Looks like I'm alone so I will continue to work on lesson plans and check back every few.

Lori O. said...

Good Mornin' DanaMO!
How are the Flying Kids this morning?

floralgirl said...

Good morning all:)
Today's nest weather- Mostly sunny. A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. Warmer with highs in the mid 70s. South winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent.

DanaMo said...

@Lori-Bad as ever!
Hey yesterday after we were chatting there was a commercial on about a product for easy cabinet refinishing. Check it out. http://cabinets.rustoleumtransformations.com/
I think I'm going to try it.

JudyEddy said...

EAGLE ON NEST

floralgirl said...

Eagle just flew into nest

JudyEddy said...

Live cam down hard to tell on still who it is backside to me

JudyEddy said...

BOTH

floralgirl said...

Now two in nest

JudyEddy said...

POOF GONE one left

floralgirl said...

Looks like Belle flew out, one still in nest

Geula said...

I've got a gray screen on the live cam and a nice pic on the popup!

JudyEddy said...

EMPTY NEST

Geula said...

MT Nest

JudyEddy said...

off to work atleast I get to see the morning visit one more day till inventory tomorrow BBL

Lori O. said...

Dang just in time for an empty nest!

MEGAN - how did you do at the market? I can't wait to see your flowers.

Lori O. said...

DanaMO - I will def. check out the cabinet product. We're talking dire need here!

Lori O. said...

Pardon my rudeness -
Good Morning JudyE!

Geula said...

LOLOL! Where's Iowa? Somebody's back...

DanaMo said...

EAGLE BACK LOOKS LIKE BELLE?

JudyEddy said...

bird back

Lori O. said...

Eagle back

floralgirl said...

Eagle back in nest
Market was great, Lori, thanks for asking.

magpie said...

think it is Truder, Geula

Good Morning Eagle Pals

I missed the earlier "show"

DanaMo said...

Its so hard to tell with the still cam. I don't see the black spot on the head, but I don't think the camera has given me a chance to see it. What does everyone else think? Oh maybe I do see a spot? Darn...

magpie said...

here's a trick
after your still cam is about 5 seconds into its refresh, YOU hcan hit refresh and sometimes get an updated pic before waiting 30 seconds

sometimes

floralgirl said...

It's Truder

DanaMo said...

I do think it's Turd

magpie said...

yep that trick is working for me
sometimes have to wait 10 seconds after the refresh is at 30
try it see what you think

DanaMo said...

Good trick Magpie

magpie said...

Jo taught us that trick a year ago ☺

magpie said...

forgot my bold

Truder up high in the nest at 12 o'clock
was facing left and now is
invisible !

magpie said...

Megan
my daffodils are absolutely stunning !
will try to get a picture

all opened up and flared out like a ring of beautiful yellow butterflies

thanks!!

Geula said...

right! sometimes! I refreshed and twice I got the same time and once it refreshed...My mother waited 9 months in order to see me-I can wait 30 seconds to the the eagles...or not ;-)

magpie said...

but it's coltsfoot on my avatar
went to Yankauer after market yesterday but these are from Swinging Bridge area...from last week

magpie said...

LOL Geula...☺

yeah, the refresh before waiting 30 seconds works about 90% of the time for me

Thanks for the weather report Megan...
hoping that anything bad with the weather here waits 'til I get off at 8 pm
but I am on call, so I could get sent back in


Prayers that all will be safe with the weather in all our Eagle Corners, worldwide

magpie said...

the nest is looking very fluffy

Lori O. said...

Geula - LOL! You have some great thoughts Geula!

Morning Margy!

Going into LURK Mode since I'm working. Have a great day everyone!

Geula said...

It's really a shame that I didn't see the Decorah cam when I started my eagle sculpture from clay. I made the feathers on his back too small, but no one knows that except the eagle lovers! It's our secret. Maybe I can "fix" it when I paint it.

floralgirl said...

Yes, the next few days have some wicked winds in the forecast.
LIVE FEED IS BACK UP

magpie said...

Good Morning Lori!
sent you a little email last night, when you have time to check it.

I have to leave a little earlier than usual, expect a busy day today...
or maybe later.
Wow, could be really warm, have to dig out the sandles...
but tomorrow I might have to wear socks with them. Sounds attractive Huh ?
Okay,
Best wishes for a good, safe healthy day, to Everyone
xoxox ttfn ☺ ♥

magpie said...

by the way
Finland water nest is down
just when things were beginning to thaw out there !

okay live feed, something for later,
Thanks for the alert Megan !

magpie said...

I think I would rather have snow than wind

Judie said...

Good morning!

Off to therapy and then the school house.

Wishing everyone a wonderful day.

GrannieKay said...

Happy Monday Everyone,
There are some large dark feathers at the Decorah nest but can't see what they are attached to. Cam is to close.

Hope everyone has a great day.
GrannieKay

hedgie said...

DECORAH COMING UP ON CBS MORNING SHOW AGAIN!!!!

hedgie said...

Good morning alll. Playing catch-up....
Scott, so hope that you'll be able to get shots of the banding.....maybe your contact will actually let you attend!!!! Get a press pass!!! Freelance for your local paper!!!

Lori, I keep Dale in the basement now. Seeing him multiple times a day up here was too depressing....downstairs it's easier not to look too often.

Still no Andy last night.....hope all is well with her.....

Wanda, your pic from yesterday is a red X......???????????

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

40 minutes and no posts? Is everybody alive?

hedgie said...

Geula, can't wait to see your eagle sculpture!!! How much longer????

DanaMo....need refinishing info....need to check it out further!

Lori, sometimes the leafblower stirs up my tendonitis in my elbow....not fun! If it's on the outside (lateral) wear a tennis elbow wrap!!!

hedgie said...

Hi, Shar----I was wondering the same thing!!!!! Checked to make sure there wasn't a new thread---nope! So don't know where everyone went!
How's everything in Bedford? How is the new job working out??

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Well, on my new job, I am on production now and off training pay. More will be revealed.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Note: Audio is disabled due to outside training activities conducted by FWS law enforcement. This training is not conducted near the eagles' nest, but the sound carries and we didn't want anybody to be alarmed. The sound may be disabled through April 18. Due to audio being disabled, we were able to restore the video to the prior state and with better color. Thank you.

hedgie said...

So training pay was guaranteed, and production pay is based on words typed per hour or day??

hedgie said...

I'm sure you are doing well in that regard! It's not as if you don't know what you're doing!!! Just learning a new program, right?

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Right and doing some voice recognition and the pay isn't as much for that. I get paid by the line typed.

hedgie said...

ROFL!! Sharon, thanks for posting that info. Nice not to have to listen to the wind blow----it's supposed to get up bad later....I never hear anything else but that 99% of the time IF I have sound at all.

Linda said...

Good Monday Morning!

Hope everyone is well this morning. Don't have time to stay. Off to the dentist (ugh) this morning!

I wonder if I can bring my ipod (don't have a smart phone anymore) and read up on the blog in the car. Talk about a headache!! It's a 35 min drive.

Will check back in this afternoon!

TEAM LEBERTY?? WHERE'S SHARON??

hedgie said...

Where did you get that? I looked under cam and it's not there, unless it would show up if I refreshed page.

Voice recognition? Don't understand how that relates to dictation???

Linda said...

Oops.....There you are, Sharon!!

Did you see my post last night about the possible upcoming poll vote for Truder. I posted I KNEW what your vote was:

JERK

Have a great morning, all!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Just say no to "JERK"!!

TEAM LIBERTY!!!!!!

Lolly said...

Good morning! Impressed to have our video back and knew there was no sound. Just had not looked and read below our pic. We do get concerned when we hear the gun shots.

Guess what! We got a little over half an inch of rain during the night! Of course wish it was much more but happy we got that. Thought of you during the night as we had loud thunder and lots of lightening as well.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Hedgie, I can't even get the live feed to come up, just a blank spot where the pic should be and that posted below.

As far as the speech/voice recognition, I get a lot of jobs that are done in SR and I have to edit what the computer thinks the doc said.

Lolly said...

I am with you on that, Sharon!

TEAM LIBERTY!!!!!!

Lolly said...

So, I read where Lynn is keeping Dale in the basement. LOL Had to read back to wonder WHAT??? Was there something Lynn was not telling us?☺

Lolly said...

Paula, really enjoyed the beach house pictures! Have a clearer picture now. So, what were you painting? There is a lot of paneling in the house.

Scott said...

@hedgie Yep, that's what I'm planning. I shoot photos for the local paper already, so they'd run them with no problems.

Lolly said...

Just so you know, I am back to my old personality!!!

hedgie said...

Well shucks! From Jordan Lake:
As some of you have noticed on the EagleCam page, we are expecting to lose our transmission signal in the next week or two, due to emerging vegetation. We hope you continue to watch and post observations until then! Thank you all for the kind notes this weekend - we hope the cam has been an enjoyable and educational expierence for a

Lolly said...

Beautiful pictures, Scott! How really neat that you have the nest so close. There is a nest here in Texas that a photographer takes pictures of and blogs. They, however, are not banded.

Lolly said...

Little birdies are really cleaning up the nest or are they stealing nesting material? Think they are cleaning up!

hedgie said...

Crow in nest---I think it's a crow! Tiny!

hedgie said...

Tiny being relative, of course, to the size of the nest!!!!


Scott, we're on the same page!!! Great to hear that you already have the credentials!!!

Lolly, Dale and I go WAY back!! LOL! I think the first time I met him was around '88.....2nd time was '98!

hedgie said...

Oh, Sharon, how often does the computer screw up??? I know dealing with Onstar in the truck that voice recognition is NOT perfect in any regard!
