1 – 200 of 287 Newer› Newest»Thanks! Somebody turn off the wind! Just wanted to tell you I had a hummingbird at one of my feeders about an hour ago.
Thanks for the new thread and thanks for the invite sitting here getting caught up of some shows I had DVR NCIS, Fringe, Criminal Minds, and more BBL always lucking but hardly reading
;o(
Thanks for the new thread and for the heads up Megan !
and listening to the Decorah eagles and watching tv multi tasking again as we all do
Megan, glad you had a little visitor to brighten your day ! Have you been working on clean up, etc. all day ?
Yay Megan, might have to put my feeder out!
Hey floralgirl, do a market here in Iowa, and the market is named after my famous dog, in Iowa, Meagan. She was my garden helper. Anyway, I still do market here each year, with 2 new little superstars, How did ya do with the storms, anyone?
Well this is great
Thanks Steve
Thanks Megan for the alert.
Glad you have a hummingbird, whoa, tough day for a little tyke like that to be flying
You lost me!!! Bringing over:
Took longer than forecast, but the high winds have arrived in force. Already have lost 2 huge limbs. Wish I had a helmet.....still have to take trash out to the road!

Glo.....I think most of the drivers DON'T like it, but they have basically been told "like it or leave it"........you know....Stifle, Edith!!! It's not much of an individual talent competition anymore.

KayIM...Mom's Mother lived to 96, and her Dad to 94 (my Grams and Pop). We will hook up for a lunch---or whatever is appropriate for the time I get there!! I drive it straight through.....usually 14 hrs.

Yeah, we are working in the garden, just got my sweet peas in and now to get the eating peas in. Thank goodness hubby made all my gardens raised beds last year, so we can plant them without walking on them, it's so wet out there. The wind is getting fierce, been bad all day. Off to get these plants in before dark! Later:)
Prayers for Sharon's friend Tara, and her father and their family...
sounds like the end is near
Thanks, Steve, for the new thread, and thanks, Megan, for the call over!
Well, have spent way too much time trying to get stuff done on the computer. Now that my eyes don't want to focus, guess I'll go put my feet up for a while. I find that the chair here at the computer desk tends to cut off my circulation. After a while my ankles look like they belong on an elephant! Will check back in later tonight. Have a good evening, everyone! :o]
How can the other female eagle incubate...does she have a brood patch? Is one not needed to do so? I find this part of the information confusing...the female who laid the eggs must be the one with the brood patch yet from the reports here she is not incubating only the male and the female intruder...odd!!
Lynn, I'll count on it and look forward to it !!!!!
Margy, glad to see you back ! How was the day ?
That's cool, Sunseeker. I do two markets a week, and hope to get back to that after next weekend.
No evening visit yet, huh??
Had read about the Jordan Lake eagles fledging....still can't get that cam to "play"....it will be off air as soon as the foliage is all out, I read.
After all the heartache here, ya all should check out sportmansparadise.com. Nice group of people,to watch Decorah with, and lots of people with some knowledge. You Momsters and Dadsters would feel at home there. Be back in a bit.
Hi Kay and all Eagle Pals
was a great day, two cute babies, a youngster girl, and lots of nice family and friends....
rivers are raging, and a few small streams....
You shoulda heard me hollering for DanaMo near Hagerstown, Jo near Middletown, and Lori near Frederick !!!
wonder if they heard me ☺
Wow, Megan....it's a miracle the hummer can fly in this wind!
Hey, Margy......glad you are back in your roost. How was the party??? Bet it was great to see your sister again!
Wonderful Margy ! So glad that weather system went through early enough that your plans could go forward !
I took I-81 and 70 over, and 340 back home, beautiful route...could clearly see why 340 was closed, so much water cascading off the roadside cliffs...still some standing water today
My sister is a gem, was great to see her - and two of her boys, their spouses, her daughter, her spouse and three of her grandchildren and one on the way ☺
and some of their friends
Hoda, I can't answer your question. Maybe he doesn't realize that she doesn't have a brood patch. Or maybe the temps have reached a point where the body temp isn't as critical???
Hoda, I didn't see the female at Maine incubate, was only eating, then perching on the Y branch, then it took off.
Glo... still need to get you info. Been helping out in East Dubuque, flooding. Need to get you my e-mail, the New York Daily is coming in to do my story in the next 10 daays.
Thank You Hedgie and Paula...I am watching the White Rock nest as an egg is due to hatch as of today...there are two eggs there. Thanks for the clarity Paula and for the possibilities as to what might be going on in Maine hedgie ...The views at White Rock are stunning. Two cameras and I like the resolution of the picture...Still some winds your way I read, may they calm down soon...the Robin nesting on your porch brought me a smile Paula, they are beautiful.
saw BWO pair mating about ten mins ago
wonder, Megan
how are things at the farm ??
remember, full moon tonight
The Moon of Many Names
Colors at BWO are really pretty
Floragirl, so cool. I started a market here in 1990, flood took my house out twice, last one in 08 took everything.Longtime on the fire dept. and drove the meat wagon for years too, not to old yet, so even though I am in my 50's , most say I have weathered well. One thing we do here when we find a dead raptor, is check for West nile. Hope you can maybe see if that is going to be done. Thankyou, so glad you momsters weathered the storm.
Heading for TV or a book. My bowing out many bring Belle and/or t. on, it seems to work quite often !!! BBL
Sunseeker...do send us the link if the article appears online...or maybe you can scan it and post to your blog?
I'm sure your flooding is way worse than ours!
Starling on the nest
Margy, sounds like a great family day.
Sun, thanks for the info on west nile...will pass that along
Starling back
I'm looking for eagles :)
Not sure if my robin is really incubating the eggs or not
Hoda my dear. Are you all talking about Maine, whew! What a year it has been, need something good to happen so soon.
Yea, Sun, Hoda and I were discussing the Maine nest...wonder when Dad will give up.
oh I am all mixed up and around on comments see Megan answered before I asked...good report...
glad things are coming along
nice to hear what so many of you are involved in and what your interests are ☺
Yes Sunseeker I should have mentioned Maine...I think I was confused so I put my question out assuming that I was clear and I was not...My questions were about the Maine nest and the female intruder. Questions have been answered. Thanks
Hey Paula, your flooding is worse now. I am tryng hard to establish watershed projects, all over the U.S.A. Feel for you all, I do travel, but cannot document the whole thing right now. I love your group here, the story that will follow. Just hang on, keep your faith. When my story hits the N.Y.Daily, you will be the 1st . to know. Ya'll should check out the "sportsmanparadisse.com" link to Decorah. It is the ustream link, not xcel energy, but a nice chat group, and you momsters would love it. Hugs to all of you!!
Thanks, Sun, will do that. Haven't visited that in a long time.

"Glo... still need to get you info. Been helping out in East Dubuque, flooding. Need to get you my e-mail, the New York Daily is coming in to do my story in the next 10 daays.
Sunday, April 17, 2011 7:02:00 PM" Yes I have been watchign for it but wasn't going to pester you about it. My email is on my profile link. River is rising nicely here too. Have been taking photographs since last week in March at a certain spot so folks can kind of see it rise etc. plan to get out there again tomorrow hopefully. With all the rain this weekend here and north I am sure its up some more. Crest is about the 23rd I think at least that is current forecast with more rain and sotrms next week :-(
Truder just flew in from the left, he looks very fluffy today
Turd in nest
He is picking around the bowl.
Facing, noon, looking all around
Can see the dark coloring on his head good tonight.
And now Belle
Belle flew in from noonish
uh THOSE HE GOES,,,,ROFLMAO!!!
TRYING TO MATE WITH HER HEAD! LOL
I AM SORRY I AM JUST ROLLING!!!!
LOL! Wrong end dummy
I won't even say what that is all about!!! Funny. Got a pic!
Good evening everyone.
Watching the nestcapades and will be lurking..
that was soo funny
Can't wait to process this video!!!
LOL LOL LOL
Poor Truder, doesn't know which end is up.
Geeze Belle, is he hangs around you REALLY have your work cut out for you!!!!
what is the nestcapades
Pic in album. He really is a dummy.
Nestcapades is the current activity in the nest!
Hello everyone! Just checking in.
So he's trying to move twigs or something now, he's at the five
She's in the bowl facing 12, looks to be completely ignoring him.
Up and away to the right at the 5 he goes.
Turd gone
He's back and about landed on her...brought her some fluff..
Hey buddy, maybe a fish will get ya somewhere!
And now he's back and almost lands on her head.
Nugz is outside howling to the fire siren
And off goes Belle to the right from the 5 spot
Poof Belle. Smart gal. Get out before he does something else stoooopid.
And a box of chocolates, too!
He's gonna poof now
Off at the 4
MT nest
And off he goes.
I'm heading for sofa to rest my weary back and shoulders. Got a lot accomplished today, but I am computered out!!! BBL.
Can't wait to see your video, Paula.
That was soooooo funny. I laughed until me side hurt.
back to lurking......
That should erase any doubt that anyone would have about this bird being Liberty!!!
you know they will say its the injury on his head has him all mixed up may be bad eye sight don't know which end Or maybe he does LOL I still keep laughing I did record it and keep watching it over and over I just can't beleive he is that dumb I wish we had sound did any one see and beak movement LOL back to lurking nestcapades lite on
I have to admit I am happy to hear folks can laugh at the happenings in the nest. That is good and laughter is certainly needed. Yet I think "Why did we all including our pair lose so much for ..."?such well I can't find the word "lack of uuum" what am I looking for? Well you can fill it in but sounds like lots is missing indeed.
Poor old chap!!! He does not know which end is up!!! Why does she put up with him, the gene pool can not be what she is looking for!!!
"paula eagleholic said...

Sunday, April 17, 2011 8:05:00 PM"
Well thats true indeed
kinky ! Belle is very patient with this youngster
Glo, I have NO clue what Belle sees in him!!
I don't know if he vocalized this time or not...can't wait for sound to come back...I want to hear what he sounds like....perhaps Daffy Duck?
It has been a difficult year, for eagle watching people, along America's East coast. A long time couple, in Sheperdstown, W.V., has had another year of drama. Liberty, the long time mate of Belle, the long time love of the local eagle female Belle, has not been seen now for
Every little tiny step we take forward, take a hand, join in, will make the long, long road a mile shorter. Maybe that is what it is all about. New beginnings.
M. Barta/city of palo
He did vocalize Paula I saw his beak opening and it was so funny to see his being so very clueless!!! I agree with you it will be good when the sound is back on and I hope it does not make for a poorer quality picture.It has improved a lot with the sound off.
osprey was roosted at BWO but now gone
also, think you probably saw post that the ospreys were at Finland Fin-Ferry this morning, put pics on Feathers link
Hopes for a successful nest year for them, last year, did not work out well :(
things to do here, will catch back up later on
Best wishes for a good evening everyone - Watch for that Full Moon Rising !
Lolly and Lynn
hope you both feel better soon,
kick the sniffles and the achies !
Hoda - Your certainly right about the beauty and great resolution at the White Rock Eagle nest. Right now Mom and Dad are just hanging out on the nest and the wide angle view is just gorgeous with the two of them.
I just saw another eagle fly by the nest, too!! They were screaming at the eagle as it passed over.
Daffy Duck, Paula, ROFLMBO !
sunseeker2 I think part of your post got lost...
Margy - Glad you had a great day visiting with your sister and family!!
Pa Lynn- Linda I am so glad you saw them I keep checking for a pip and none so far as I can see. Bothe still on nest, I did see the flying eagle too and their fuss is awesome...
What a beautiful picture that is with the two eagles swaying in the nest in the sunshine with the water behind them!!
Oh my, poor Truder really does not have a clue. The scary thing is that if he gets it right, he will eventually become a father and fatherhood requires another skill set.
TEAM LIBERTY!!
sunseeker, the middle part of your post is missing. I really want to read it.
I guess we can hope he will not be able to reproduce until he can handle the responsibilities, but that might be too much to hope for. It does not work with human beings.
Moon, is UP !
Daffy Duck! Snicker, snicker.
Taxes are filed. Yeah! I can say I did not wait until the last day to file.
Hi all.
Hubby and I are back from the Carolina Raptor Center. Had a real nice trip and a great walk around looking at all the birds. Spent some time trying to see Savannah and Derek's eaglet. I think I got a peak at him but they had a tarp blocking off the viewing area so that he would not become use to people.
At one point something must have approached the nest because all of a sudden both parents started screaming, jumped down from their low perch which is only 10-15 ft away and went running as fast as they could to the nest screaming the whole time. One ran to the eaglet and stayed there screaming while the other went running after something the other way screaming the whole time. I couldn't see what it was but it ran off through the fence at the back with the adult hot on it's tail. I figured it was probably a squirrel.
We had a great afternoon there. Watched the live educational show and spent some time on the trail with one of the keepers and a great horned owl. She answered all kind of questions. For a rehab center it was great and all the birds that we saw looked great.
Loved every minute of it.
Good for you, Shirley!! A day early!
Congrats Shirley !
have to apologize to Jo
just added one pic from Apr 15, one from Apr 16, and a few from this evening in the E-M album, which puts them out of order from when Lynn added her GREAT shot of clumsy bum and his backwards ways
love your little owl avatar, Shirley by the way
Hello and So long to all for awhile now,
much much to do here !
GREAT report GrannieKay...sorry I had missed that a few mins ago
Good for you two !
wow, drama, all that screaming, protective eagles, must have been a sight to see, and HEAR
So glad you got to go, GrannieKay! Hmm, you would think the eagle might have grabbed the squirrel up for dinner, but maybe they are too used to being fed by humans.
Thanks, Margy, I think I have used the little owl before. It looks vaguely familiar.
I would think that a squirrel entering a cage full of eagles would be living dangerously.
Sounds wonderful GrannieKay
Hi all! Loved the reporting on the nest visit tonight. Anxious to see a video. Sounds like Turd Bird aka Daffy Duck has a lot to learn.
Spent the afternoon outside, it was beautiful. I am feeling just fine. It was all allergies and I am sure it was from the smoke in the air. Several people I have talked with have been affected as well. No sneezing tonight and no running of the nose.
So the smoke is gone at least for now, Lolly? I hope so.
The moon is really beautiful out there now!
I got out a bit, too. Kathryn asked Zachary (Tom's nephew) to come mow, and he and his girlfriend came over and worked hard. He messed with our two mowers and got them both started, though the electric starter on the one mower isn't working too well. I went out and did a few things.
It was a beautiful day, though there was a crisp breeze blowing.
Moonlight is doing a good job tonight...hey I should go out and see the real moon!
I will have to go take a look at the moon.
Have not noticed smoke today, though I do know the fires are still burning. The wind picked up around noon, but no smoke...thank goodness.
It was strange. The weather report Friday evening showed the pattern for the smoke. Never seen that before. Laurel said she saw it and thought she should get the smoke in about 15 minutes...sure enough in about that time she could smell it.
Aw shucks, clouds in the way at the moment, will have to check in a little while.
My brother has sent me pictures of the smoke from fires they've had in Colorado in previous years. Not what you like to see.
We were really thrilled with the place. The walkways were covered with a fine crushed gravel and no steep hills to climb. I was a bit worried that we might not be able to walk it. I have serious lung problems and usually have to use a wheel chair for distance and hubby has congestive heart failure and is just getting over a few months of being in real bad shape but they had benches here and there so we could set and rest and watch the birds and managed to walk the whole thing. It was a two hour drive each way. Beautiful weather. Not to hot and quite wooded there.
We were even treated to seeing several hummers flickering about.
We went out this afternoon and planted a tree Hunter brought home from school--a blue spruce about six inches tall. We put a stake beside it so we wouldn't mow it down. It probably isn't tall enough to need staking for any other reason.
Maybe it should have been planted in a pot for awhile. I grew a maple tree that way for awhile before I planted it in the yard. The seed just landed in a flower pot and I let it grow a couple of years. It's now in the back yard.
I am so happy to learn that people are going to Huntersville to see the eagles. It is a special place for me.
And it is nice to know it is a nice place for people to take a leisurely stroll with plenty of resting spots for those who need them.
I brought a Blue Spruce home from Michigan one year. Nursed that tree along...named it Bruce...and talked to it. The he just upped and died. Made me so mad! I really wanted a Blue Spruce!!!
The moon is bright and beautiful here, and I heard the peepers peeping.
Maybe they do not like the Texas climate.
Wow, moon is beautiful tonight. Full! Didn't realize it was time for that yet. Love Margy's Moon of Many Names!
My sister and I both bought a Blue Spruce from a nursery up in Michigan. When the lady who sold them to us found out they were going to Texas, she said she would not have sold them to us. Oh, that made me really mad. Sharon's died promptly, she lives down close to Houston. My spruce lived several years. I have seen Blue Spruce around here, not many but I have seen them.
The nest is lit up nicely with the moon.
I hope everyone is doing well.
Prayers for those that need them; Bev's Daughter about to deliver so please pray if you didn't know. It is a early delivery.
Prayers for Carolyn's foot and her son's recovery.
Prayers for any and all that need them.
I haven't been on today so I will have to catch up tomorrow. I am tired didn't sleep well last night. Missing Ed too much---sorry can't explain it. Been in all day seeing to my Mom. She is ok just tired.
I had a dirt-ball Spruce tree for a special Christmas in 1979 - planted it and it grew to be about forever tall ! (well, maybe 25 feet)- was at the old place I had in Hedgesville, right in town...
when the place sold in 2004 for reasons way beyond my control...ALL the wonderful trees came down, and the Spruce was the last one...
very sad for me to realize the new owners were going to do that!
I hope Hunter's tree, grows forever and tall, Shirley ♥
finally found Stars of Bethlehem today, right where they should have been, about 2 weeks before now...will get them on my blog one of these busy days
Lolly
glad you are feeling so much better now, and
Lynn maybe you too, a little moonglow goes a long way in the feel-good department I hope ☺
Lolly, I just looked it up, and you are in hardiness zone 8, according to the map, and danged if the Colorado blue spruce isn't right there at the top of the list. But I always think of them as growing better in the north, even further north than here. We had some in Ohio.
Hey
my mockingbird is in a blue spruce, by the way !!
Love your cardinal avatar, DanaWV, even though I thought it was a red hershey kiss when I first glanced upon it ! ☺
((hugs to you ♥ ))
did NOT know that the delivery was imminent, for Bev's daughter, though knew there were complications...and it could be going that way
thanks for the info, Dana...
Prayers, big Prayers, for Mom, Baby, and family
Oh, how sad, Margy. I can't understand people who want to cut down beautiful trees.
When we built in our former neighborhood, we left a large part of the backyard wild. Just a little patch of undisturbed woods.
Prayers for Bev's family, for Carolyn and her son, and for you, Dana. I hope you sleep well tonight.
Shirley
when the deal was done at the lawyer's office, I shook the hands of the new owners, and said
"There are some wonderful trees on the land."
Woof, big whoop, they didn't care about that, put up two big metal garages...then left town not too long after that.
I had a little trio of trees that I called my "Chinese Sisters."
Yeah, it broke my heart into a thousand pieces
need a bath, hope there is some caffeine in the bubbles I can absorb by osmosis
bbl xo
GrannieKay...CRC definitely sounds like a place that Jo and I and Red and NCSuzan could handle! We are all respiratory cripples, too!!
One good thing---if the intruder had been a squirrel, he wouldn't have been after the eaglet! They aren't carnovires!! But would love to see the eagles running and screaming like that!!!
Sad, Margy. Some people just do not understand what to appreciate.
I had two pretty Bradford pears in my front yard here. They were the prettiest trees on the street, but I knew they weren't the strongest of trees. I hadn't chosen them--the builder did. The first one came down in Hurricane Isabel, and the second one came down in another storm--it split and fell on the house. I do miss them, but I know better than to plant any more of them. They were big enough for Hunter to climb in--guess he could have broken a limb, though.
Now I have a pink dogwood and a crabapple out there, but they are still pretty small.
My video is still uploading...
Trying to post a couple of moon shots.
GrannieKay...CRC sounds lovely! Would love to visit there someday. I didn't realize you were that close, although 2 hours is certainly a drive.
Dana, hope you fell better tomorrow. Thanks for the info about Bev's daughter, will keep them in my prayers.
Oh, Margy, that is sad about the trees. Do not understand anyone who cuts down trees. We want to cry when we have any that die. When we have to take down the dead trees we plant a new ones.
There was a new shopping center that went in not too far from us. It had one huge pecan tree out by the road. They worked all around it and I thought they were going to save it and then one day it was gone. I was just sick! I was just furious!!!
Hello:)
Watching TV, commercial now...posted a few flood photos on Wild and Wonderful blog. Water is REALLY high.
GG is still in a lot of pain, but, again, she ate all that I fixed her to eat. Remember when she would only eat baby food?:)
Hope the doctor has some news for us tomorrow, if not, I have some news for HIM!
Think I am going to read now. I'll be back!
Prayers for GG, Wanda.
I want to keep blogging, but I must get things ready for tomorrow and crawl into my bed. Three days and then spring break.
Wow, you do have some flooding there, Wanda.
And I saw your picture of Nu in the sycamore tree.
I've always loved to watch flood waters...spectacular piece of Mother Nature.
How long is your Spring break, Shirley?
Megan, a bright spot with a visiting hummer. Glad you had a nice surprise. Glad you were able to get some planting done and hope the soil dries out a bit.
Margie, so happy you had a nice family visit. Bet you feel refreshed.
Lynn, please remember to take your eagle cane out with you -- fends off spiders and falling branches.
Congratulations, Shirley. Now you can have a nice warm glass of something and head for the recliner. Ah, a Hunter's spruce? Yes, I think you call it a Hunter Spruce.
Kay, so glad you two had a nice visit to the CRC. Yep, probably a squirrel.
Andy, happy you had some time to exercise Emma and get her all prettied up for the week.
Tomorrow begins the final push to give birth to the end of another semester. Email from a student tonight who has not attended classes or submitted any work or taken an exam: "...when can I meet with you to find out what to do..." Well, I don't think you even need to bother. You don't have a snowball's chance in a hot rain storm.
The sandperson is sneaking up on me and I would like to catch some news. Have therapy first thing then school. Will return late tomorrow afternoon. Restful sleep for everyone.
Of course, I do empathise with those affected from the effects of the floods. HOW'S THAT, SHIRLEY, for an example of correct usage?:)
Lots of racoons on the Penn woods cam tonight.
Happy 1st Birthday Giannu bet you had cake all over you lol
Lovely, Wanda.
Oh, my, what to do when you have not attended class nor done any of the work? Maybe sign up for the class again? I guess e-mail gives the student the opportunity to approach the prof without facing her.
Woods cam
Oh I hate seeing big beautiful tress cut down too...If I have one die, I replant as well...speaking of which, not sure if my dogwood made it. I just have NO luck with dogwoods!
startling pictures, Wanda.
Sorry to hear your Mother is still in discomfort...any x-ray results yet ??
Yes, when trees come down, it's a loss of wildlife in my book :(
I finally put Rumsey Tavern dinner pics, three, on Magpie's Roost, would have put them on Fun and Dandy but there is a spammmer watching that one
I can't do fancy label titles so you have to ready my first comment for id's
Good Night Judie.... hope all goes well in the morning
I sent you a pic by email....hope it opens for you
Yeah, Judie, I am still wondering about the student who left my class with 20 zeroes, transferred to a much lower level class, ended up with a grade of B, and is still not happy.
Paula, Dogwoods are very slow growers too. I had one at the old place that was almost 20 years old and was still not much over my head. They are pretty when blooming though
I got a Facebook message from Candy. They are fine, though they got some bad weather. The tornadoes went west of them, and there is some damage in the weather and some power out.
My bedtime now. Diane is going to Birmingham tomorrow so we will be getting an early start.
Goodnight all! And God bless!
amazing(-ly inept) thought processes with these students Judie and Shirley -
Hi Red ! Will check that link
OK, here is tonight's video. I managed to cut out 5 minutes, but it's still just a tad over 10 minutes long.
Which end is up?
Also, I post the videos to the Eaglet Momsters Blog.
http://eagletmomsters.blogspot.com/
sometimes it's food on here, but tonight it is Trees !
Hope all the growing occurs when and how and where it should !
okay, NOW bath time
Shirley and Judie, got some interesting ideas from my two nephews, one a high school teacher and another a college prof...will share another time
thanks for the Candy news ♥
Candy also said that she has had some problems logging on to our blog, but she hopes to try again during spring break.
I have Thursday and Friday before Easter and Monday after Easter. Hunter has all of this week. Not too convenient, but that is the way it is.
Prayer's for Tara's Dad.
Bet that scared Zach praying he heels fast.
Poor Megan she really needs Gods Special Blessing and His Helping Hands. She is such a hard worker.
Paula hope you got your taxes finished. Paula I hope you have another door to use. Neat!
Having read yet but hope Margy found a good dry route and hard a ball ( :
Glad we heard from Geula.
Now What about Anna Marie??
It seems that my kid has been accepted to college. I expect he will not get B's there unless he shapes up.
Good night. I really must go.
Sure is some flooding out your way too, Wanda. How close is that bridge to you?
Interesting article about Bob Anderson ... the man who put the Decorah Eagles online.
Bob Anderson's Legacy
My brain is fried. My delete....thought I had said something the wrong way as I thought about it. Then when I just re-read it, realized I had it right the first time. DUH!
It is RAINING here. YUCK!
Dana----where did you hear that Bev's grandbaby is being delivered? Last email on momsters mail only said that she was having contractions. Know that they are trying desperately to get another 3 weeks before they do a section. Praying that nothing happens...29 weeks is so early.
Margy, which house was yours in the 'ville? So sorry about your wonderful trees. I know how much it hurt. That's how I feel whenever I see someone taking down a live tree or even when a good one dies. :(
I remember when we lived on the mountain coming home from work one afternoon and seeing a swath 100' wide all the way from the road up to the top of the ridge where the power line was....they had come in and literally raped the hillside....and nothing was anywhere near as tall as the power lines. Made me physically ill.
Evening all!
Busy day helping move more of Mother Carolyn's things. After Steve, Friend Dave and I loaded the trucks, we were standing in front of the house chatting before we left (in Baltimore City). My eyes were to the skies as usual. I saw it coming...wasn't sure at first but had a feeling. Tapped Steve on the shoulder and said LOOK....
an EAGLE!!
I took my camera with me at the last minute "just in case". But it was in my purse in the truck and I couldn't get to it in time.
We also have a Bluebird egg...checked the box first thing this morning!
Need to get to bed...I haven't read back but I hope everyone is doing well. See you in the morrow!
HaHA, Decorah mom is drooling.
Hedgie-Lynn I had sent an email to Bev this evening. Here is what she wrote me back time is listed on email she sent me as 8:57:13pm
Thanks –you so much.
They are breaking her water tonight, so baby will arrive tonight sometime. We have to sit tight and pray as we are not allowed there right now. I am hoping that on this Palm Sunday, God will hear our Prayers.
They did an ultra sound today and baby is breathing on its own in the womb. How they tell that is beyond me, but all signs are good.
So I ma a wreck but am abiding by the wishes of the hospital.
Hugs Bev
oh my, prayers for Bev's daughter and the baby....
Wanda, which Opequon Bridge in your pics??? Surely not the one on 9????
Sorry GG is so uncomfortable.
Judie, that student is certainly in for a wake-up call, isn't he??? How dumb!
BTW----the power co. did that on OUR property---they only have a 60' right-of-way.
Red, are you heading to B'ham with Diane? I know my cuz hates making that trip.
Sorry, I forgot to tell you about Candy...got the same message from her!
Golf Course Rd Hedgie...the stone one-lane bridge near Blairton Rd
but I am sure Wanda will answer that one
Thanks, Dana......wow---can't believe they are letting her go with a vaginal delivery with an abruptio. Will worry mightily until we hear more.
Please put special prayers for Bev's Daughter and the baby. God step in during this delivery. Bring forth a crying healthy babe. Which will put smiles on Mom & Fiance and Grandma and Grandads faces. Guiding the doctors and nursers attending. So that we can send PRAISES IN YOU NAME FOR THIS HEALTHY BABY IN YOUR NAME I PRAY GOD...Amen
Yay for you Lynne! An eagle in the city! And a bluebird egg.
I don't believe Mrs Robin is incubating the eggs on my front light...maybe that is why I haven't seen her on the nest.
Lynne, if she is not incubating the eggs, would you like the nest and the eggs for Irvine? I know they do not reuse the same nest.
really hard to keep up, want to include all the needs in my posts, but surely DO have them all in my heart and prayers
Lolly's Zach for example with the boo boo, and Christine's father, and Bev for sure....
amongst all of us, I think by day's end we include them all in our posts.....
nice going Lynne, Eagle Sighting !
Hmmm....Margy, is that the one after the rr track and before the golf course? Or is there another one closer to 45?
Paula, if she isn't coming back, I'm sure Irvine would love to have the nest and eggs for the Discovery room!
Christie got some bad news today.....somehow her debit card number got stolen and $700 was spent in 3 locations in Philadelphia. Apparently must have been one of those things inserted into an ATM or gas pump thing......bank caught the fact that charges typical for her account occurred at the same time period at home...so they froze the account yesterday.....but she didn't know it until she tried to use the card today. And, of course, no human to talk to at the bank until tomorrow.
Heading for bed....may all be safe and if anyone is traveling. May God potect them.
Hope everyone gets home to their roost safe.
Need to some more time into some prayers so will be leaving for tonight ....take care ... be safe..may God take care of each and everyone one of you.
yes Lynn that one near Grapevine Rd...sure they had to come by way of Blairton Rd
DanaWV puts the prayer needs right to the words, thanks Dana
crappola Lynn...!!
Sorry, Lynn, that I didn't get to you sooner on you question of the where-a-bouts of the Bridge.
MARGY is absolutely right! Golf Course road bridge. That road is closed for now.
Margy knows her way around Berkeley County:)
TGerrific Video Paula !
Thank you !
We did get there via Blairton Road. Sat there and watched debris floating by and ate lemon cookies and potato chips:) Cheap entertainment;)
and Decorahs moms mouth is open as she sleeps, and she is drooling......
I used to live on Grapevine Rd, Wanda ☺
and I often take the back road out to the VA to check on wildflowers ☺
OUch! You know that might have hurt when Truder was going on to the beak
LOL Liz, glad Mom is snoozin :)
Lynne, If I don't see her on it tomorrow, I'll take it down and keep it for you. I didn't see her on it at all today...and she's not on it now :(
Not sure what happened there....
Lynn, glad the bank caught it! Sucks when you don't have any cash and depend upon your card! I would be SOL!
I know how Red feels in the afternoon, all it takes in the evening is for me to leave and the duo will show up ! I was dozing in my recliner by the time they appeared tonight and didn't wake up til' 10. That should throw me off completely !
Thanks Paula for the video of Nestcapades ! I love seeing my coined word appearing regularly now ! Truder can certainly turn things into a comedy of errors, can't he ? As you say, this one visit should convince folks that this is not Liberty. It's a pain to watch him fiddle with branches, acting like he's really gonna do something and accomplishing nothing. Neither the HP nor nestoratons are Liberty like, at all !
Our prayer list grows daily. Thinking of all with aches, pains and heartaches with concern and love.
Hope to be on with the early birds in the morning. Night, Night ♥♥♥♥♥
got to Decorah too late to see the drooling Liz...but did see all three chicks and Mom off to the side and then Mom sitting up
thanks for the play-by-play
I have a serious case of blogaholism and camaholism tonight!
BWO osprey on the nest at cam nigh-night time
looks like the nest has been fussed with at Finland Land nest
NCTC is amoonglow
magpie, Decorah mom is still drooling.
So sorry Momma Robin has not been roosting, Paula...beautiful nest pictures you shared
I better scram before the SPLIT - think I ran up the posts too high as it is
Hope to make the morning nestcapades but not so sure
Good Night Beach Bunny Jo ☺
Prayers...for so many of our loved ones
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
P.S.;o)Margy, I love it when the nest is bathed with light by your "moon with many names" !
See It Liz - brought it back up!Thanks! That is one tired-looking Momma Eagle - now alerted to something !
Checking back in to say good night to all.
Special prayers for Bev's daughter tonight as she prepares to bring a new fragile life into this world.
Lolly - So happy to hear you had a better day today. I hope the smoke stays away. Prayers for little Zach's fast healing!
Prayers for Tara and her family as they must be going through such a difficult time tonight. If this is God's time to take her father, may he go peacefully.
Lynne2 - How awesome you saw an eagle today flying above!! What a neat surprise.
Wanda - I'm amazed at all you do for the Kingdom!! You're truly a Godly woman!
We have a couple blue spruce trees! One was so big Dennis had to move it further back on the property. It did great for almost 6 months until the heavy winds yesterday! It will need to be pulled back the other way, but I think it is ok!
Paula - Thanks for the video and story about Bob Anderson. Very interesting!
Sorry to be so talkative.....
I am sure I forgot some....but you're all in my prayers. I think this is such a wonderful group to be a part of!!
