JudyEddy said...

JudyEddy said...

I think I just heard one of our residence pair

Lori O. said...

HI JUDY!

I set my alarm for 4:50 and guess I didn't really! dang!

GREAT JOB and THANK YOU for being there to see Belle and Truder's visit. Awesome!

Lori O. said...

Oh, so glad you saw it. Like being a fly on the wall with no one else around, isn't it?

JudyEddy said...

I have to repeat this I'm sure you all heard this one of the news reports said that CASEY tissue should be sponsored by SHAM WOW that she seems to get using the same tissue and if she really is crying it should be soaked because the camera are always on her and you never see her get a new tissue

DanaMo said...

Wish I could have been up to share and enjoy the visit with you JudyE. Good job on the reporting...

And good morning, but I don't think I'm sticking around since I missed the show.

BBL

JudyEddy said...

I posted the video of this am in visit on face book I posted in two video The second one shows is YO YO move 205 into the video a fast boomerang move

Kay said...

Bravo, JUDYE, good job ! We thought you might like privacy when getting an early morning waxing !☺

Truly am sorry to have missed our dynamic duo, but you may have seen how late I was up last night.

Good Morning, LORI and DANA ! Don't blame you for going back to bed. I would, too, except for the fact that Malcolm will be arriving and I don't want to be all groggy at that time.

MARGY, I know you aren't here at SPCC yet, but FYI when you are, last night I upgraded Java, so we'll see if it will stand for having the blog and the nest up at the same time.

Lori O. said...

JUDY,
Can you tell me how to record a visit and post it - and tell me where ever I should post it? I would really appreciate it but remember I am not a high functioning techie like you!

Lori O. said...

Good Morning KAY!

I haven't even caught up on the blog yet. I just fed the cats and made some coffee. Nor, have I checked my email, but it sounds like you did some tuning on your computer!

And Malcolm is coming this morning. He will be such great company for you. You're gonna miss him when Seth gets home again.

((BIG HUG)) ♥

JudyEddy said...

LORI You won't believe how I do the video I just set up my camera on a tripod and record it from my camera and download it that way Paula has a program that she uses It called SNAGIT I googled it but haven't downloaded it yet I am always afraid to download new stuff so I just use my camera there are several snagit listed the FREE on is the one I was going to down load there are several to select not for sure which Paula has

JudyEddy said...

OK its off to work I go HAGD SYL

magpie said...

Good Morning,
Eagle Pals
Hi Judy, Kay, Lori, DanaMo (come on back)

JudyE
You should get a prize, excellent reporting of the
Nestcapadies ☺ Like Lori, I set my alarm,
for 4:51: about the same time Lori was planning to get up but kept hitting the snooze button
and here I finally am now...
Thanks JudyE - so glad you got what you came for this morning !

Kay said...

Oofta ! I just knocked over a glass of water---no where near the puter, but half of it spilled onto my ancient Texas I. calculator---hope it survives. So glad Seth was not here to witness that as I won't allow him to take glasses without lids beyond the kitchen ! Bad Grandmother.

Since "upgrading" to IE-8 I've not been able to get video at the Goshawk nest.:( Last night I read their warning: For video feed, Windows Media Player is required. So, I downloaded it, but still no go. Any ideas, Early Bird Buds ?

Kay said...

♫♫ Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work you go ! ♪♪♫ HAGD, JUDY ! See you around noon, maybe !

magpie said...

I'll check on Goshawk in a few mins Kay -
they had no digital signal for a few days there

don't turn that calculator on
take out the battery, let it dry out, calculator and battery...

then try it again..if it is battery operated

Kay said...

The nest just went to 16:18 before timing out. No rhyme or reason to that function since the cam came back.

Lori O. said...

And here I thought you were so hi-tech, JUDYE! That's funny to record it from your video cam off the monitor! Great idea since it works for you. Genius!

Doing a little catch-up:

LORETTA, LYNN - I never promised you a rose garden! Just kidding. Loretta Lynn get it?
Can one of you Estonia nest lovers please post the link for the Black Stork Nest? That sounds incredible!

SHIRLEY - Part of knowing yourself & being happy is knowing your limits. You can help Johnny/Jimmy in other way, and you already have. Had to laugh at your post about taking him home, but you knew better. Wise Woman!

magpie said...

Shirley
This is the ONLY DAY LEFT TO COUNT!

Know you are probably already on your way for Graduation...but we are thinking of you....

Congratulations...it is Really Here...your Retirement Day !
xoxoxo ♥ ☺

Kay said...

MARGY, I shook it and shook it upside down, dried all I could. No battery, so I just turned it on and can still get 2+2 with it. I think I've had it for about 25 years---they just don't make em' like that anymore.☺ Say, speaking of TI, whatever happened to Ross Perot ? Is he still alive ?

magpie said...

sure wish I hadn't missed Judy, she did a great job taking care of all the reporting of the Nest Visit...too funny, Truder leaving to go get Belle

Sharon
haven't seen you lately:
THIS TRAIN IS FOR YOU !! ☺ ♥

Lori O. said...

Good Morning MARGY!

What do you have planned for the day?

I want to go out now and water pots and gardens, but hoping we get some rain. My grass looks like HE _ _ ! I won't even try watering that. It's really weeds anyway. You just can tell so much when it's green and mowed. That's something I miss about California - having a nice green lawn and sprinklers, though it's not very GREEN to have that anymore.

I'll pass along all your nice posts about KATE saving LUCKY the bulldog. They think he is only 8 months. Definitely getting him out of that shelter and to a vet saved his life twice. I post some bathing pics of him and more vulture pics this weekend.

magpie said...

Jo:
I went to Swinging Bridge, where I have seen the Bald Eagle, one time...
It is Sleep Creek where your dear great grandson Anthony saw the Eagles...
I can't go there alone, need to find a traveling partner who would do the driving...
rough road, would rather not take my vehicle up there

Kay said...

Oh, yes, SHIRLEY ! I second MARGY's emotion ! We're celebrating with you. The teaching profession is losing one of the best, but you deserve all that retirement has to offer !!!! Congratulations !!!!

Loretta Lynn, kinda sounds good together. LOL

magpie said...

Good report, Wanda... on the Crab Leg Event...I've Seen GG tear into those crab legs...did she bring her own little tool like she did when I went with you folks ?

ok, hope the calculator springs back to life for you, Kay...don't you just Groan, AAARGH, and WOOF when that kind of thing happens !

Kay said...

LORI, around here we call the kind of lawn you have, A FREEDOM LAWN, it's the politically correct thing to have now !

Lucky is no doubt thanking his Lucky Stars that he fell into such good hands !

Lori O. said...

MARGY - SLEEP CREEK sounds like a place we need to go!

KAY - when it comes to viewing cams and knowing the programs, I believe PAULA is the expert. She has helped many and knows the fixes. I used to have problems a few years ago and I don't anymore. I won't even make a suggestion. PAULA is your girl for this.

Dearest PAULA, please help our KAY. ♥

Lori O. said...

WANDA - Like KAY said in her post, just wondering if I missed it, but I would love to know more about your WATER BUCKET GARDEN on your deck.

What kind of lily did you put it? Is it aerated in any way? Pumps? Tubing, fish, River Monsters?

Lori O. said...

OH gosh, FloBear is up and you know loud moose calls will be happening soon for his breakfast!

BBIALW.

magpie said...

appreciate the post from Judy (at 6:55 pm pre-split)
about our PammySue, sorry she lost her dear friend, but happy that here sister got a good MRI report

also sorry to hear that Nilla's daughter broke her leg! Hope healing is upon her

Kay - I thought I saved Estonia, but I think either Loretta or Lynn will post that again for you

Kay said...

Strong wind at the nest. Wouldn't be surprised if some of our rolling thunderstorms are moving in on that area. The last one went through here early this morning. Forecast calls for more today, but clearing by tomorrow and expecting a gorgeos weather week coming up---main thing is a drop in humidity. The city is beginning it's Mosquito spraying Tuesday, way ahead of the norm. I think we're just looking at a changing weather pattern. As I recall winter arrived a month early last Fall, overstayed it's welcome and now Summer arrived a month early.

magpie said...

Hoping and praying that Nugz is much much better today, and that Paula has a great Beach Week-end

Lori O. said...

Getting forecast - up to 70% chance for up to 1.25" of rain in Frederick today. Nest forecast next.

magpie said...

Kay
Goshawk nest looks good...big Chick and Little Chick, ambling around the nest now
Hope you can get that one again...

Kay said...

Thanks MARGY and LORI, for enlisting help for my various problems ! Looks like the Java upgrade did the trick, knock on wood ! No glitches today !

I'm off to read the newspapers, etc.. Expecting my houseguest within the hour. Didn't even ask what time, but the kids usually hit the road about 8. Hopefully Malcolm will have had a couple of good outings and I won't have to take him on a walk for a couple of hours after arrival.

See ya later ! I♥U youse guys !!!!

magpie said...

playing 52 pick-up here
wish I had gotten up much earlier

time to get ready for work...
two days off coming up
will try to catch up a little more on posts from work if I can

Hope Megan has a couple of good market days this week-end
Hope to see her Sunday

Best wishes, everyone, for a Good, Safe, Healthy and Happy Day

paula eagleholic said...

OMG just saw the prettiest juvie here...came from the right and landed in the tree for a few minutes....then took off back to the right....then came flying back right in front of the house...was being chased by 2 seagulls...looked liked a fledgling juvie....was large and had juvie coloring underneath....just watched in awe...

paula eagleholic said...

Margy have a great time with James after work

Kay maybe someone else can check the goshawk nest to see if it is up

Shirley congrats on Your last day!!!!

Nugz seems a likttle better this morning...upped his prednisone a bit....vet says just give him whatever dosage makes him comfortable

paula eagleholic said...

I see Margy reported the goshawk nest was up....Kay if you just did IE* you may need to check settings to make sure it is using wmp as the default...I use that at home but not on my phone so can't help much on that today

paula eagleholic said...

Michael is sleeping in...think he worked like 56 hours this week

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Good morning my eagle budlets.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Hope all is well in everyone's neck of the woods.

paula eagleholic said...

Forgot to thank JudyE for this mornings nest report!

hedgie said...

Good morning all!

Lori---here's t he link for black stork cam:
Estonia

Black Stork Cam (LES) is a Lesser Spotted Eagle this year (nest takeover!) I csn't remember which of the nests really has black stork this year---and at the moment I can't get any of them to play except the Lesser spotted---just keep trying all of them. Have never seen anything on their bear cam!

JudyE----you sure must have been busy this AM with the visit commentary! Sorry you were alone for so long!!

Guess Margy is at work now. Is DanaMo still sleeping?

Ha, KAy----I skip most ads, too! But do like Geico if it's the gecko!

hedgie said...

I've got Danish in the oven--the Pillsbury with the orange icing. My fav commercial pastry! Anyone coming? BYOC---bring your own coffee!

paula eagleholic said...

PAULA - Great for NUGZ! Bet he does feel lots better with the Pred. Has to make you smile to see him happy. WOOF!

hedgie said...

Hi,Sharon! How be you Bluefield gals?? Stop being a lurker and jump in more often!!

Paula, cool that you got to watch the juvie up close like that!! Hope Nugz feels MUCH better quickly. Let Michael sleep!

HAPPY LAST DAY FOR SHIRLEY!!!

Bad storm apparently never materialized in the wee hours---no evidence of it and I slept through it if it did! NO CRAMPS to speak of...and I'm still alive!

Lori O. said...

Great news LYNN! Your pills worked but I think everyone will echo this - that you shouldn't use that "pharmacy" again. God Bless HODA!

MARGY, Margy. Your Feather's Blog pictures are incredible! I love the cows in the water. Can't believe you spotted the turtle swimming and the Red (wing or shoulder) Hawketts! You must have great eyes. Cow pic is too cute with the calf.

hedgie said...

Know you are gone, MArgy, but when I commented on your May pics (with the pine) it says it will post when approved.....?????? The others didn't do that!

wvgal_dana said...

Morning to the early bird crew JudyE, Lori, DanaMo, Kay, and Margy.

A Good Morning to those who have come in Paula, Sharon, Hedgie-Lynn, and those lurking.

I've already gotten the 503 error. So started all over again.

Lori O. said...

♥♥ HAPPY RETIREMENT TO SHIRLEY ♥♥

Your day has arrived! Savor the moments of today and the memories of all the kids whose lives you have enriched. ♥

Lori O. said...

Good Morning WV DANA.

I've already had the Blogger Cop 503, too.

Heading out to mow before it rains. Will feed the vulture nest gang. Need to chop up and freeze their future entrees. Then off to pick up my birthday I-Pad that was ordered! YEAH!

PAULA - What a beautiful sight that juvie must have been. Your sighting reports are the inspiration of my weekends. Thanks!

wvgal_dana said...

Lynn I do believe you are right. We didn't get any rain during the night or early morning hours.

In reading back:
Bless Kate's heart for saving that
Lucky the bulldog.

Wanda so glad GG enjoyed herself
with the crab legs.


JudyE thanks for all the comments
about our eagles being in the nest.
Funny "SHAM WOW" tissue lol


Kay see Malcolm is coming today.
I know from past comments how
much you enjoy him ( :

Lori you are higher tech than you
think lady.

Margy I have been wanting to go
to Swinging Bridge and Sleepy
Creek. To try to see eagles.

Margy hoping you have a good
day without a lot of surprises.
Nice I'm already thinking of you
and those two days you'll have off.

Yep "PAULA is the computer TECH"!!!

Sorry prayers for PammySue for
the lost of her friend.

What Nilla's daughter broke her leg.
Now what is going on in that family.
Nilla's granddaughter broke her leg
earlier in the month or the end of
last month at her Dad's. More prayers for healing for that family.



Margy good instructions for calculator and battery to dry out. Can also use lightly hair dryer after removing battery.

Shirley is out the door for graduation of her class. Shirley is retired I do believe now. Hoping for a nice day for her and the graduation.

Have to check out Margy's pictures!! ( :

Paula I hear the excitement in your
voice. So neat a juvie. You say 2 seagulls was chasing it. I bet you are in "awe".
So happy Nugz is feeling better this morning.

Michael 56 hours...I'd be sleeping too.

I have seen on the live feed some small birds with blue. Can't catch whether they are bluebirds, inigos or what???? Maybe someone else can tell they are so fast.

hedgie said...

Here we go again----Service Error 503!!

Kay, mosquito spraying to start in Martinsburg next week, too, but no such thing out here in the county. :(

Lori O. said...

HELLO SHARON!

You and THELMA taking good care of yourselves? Hugs to both of you.

Leaving now but wanted you two to know that I've been thinking good thoughts for you.

hedgie said...

ARGH---just had a bird hit the window right here next to me---jumped a foot!! Guess I better look out and see if it's okay.

hedgie said...

Whew---nothing there...guess he's okay!

hedgie said...

No, Lori, I won't order from that place again, for sure!!

wvgal_dana said...

Lori remember your instructions for people mowing. (I think you gave them lol)...drink lots of water.

wvgal_dana said...

Filled the bird feeder. Made new juice this morning for hummingbirds. Put up my new hummingbird feeder. Now I'm watching to see what all comes.

wvgal_dana said...

Now where did everyone go??????

wvgal_dana said...

I wanted to tell Lori and Megan plus everyone else.

Yesterday when I left to go to Lowes. I was driving on Rt. 901 not too far from home. Sitting on this fence post was a very LARGE bird. I slowed down and got to see yes Lori and Megan, "A BLACK VULTURE". They are not ugly like the turkey vultures.

Now I am looking for live webcam of black vultures. lol

hedgie said...

Cuckoo birds in the background at the Lesser Spotted Eagle nest!!! Funny!!! Don't think I've ever heard them outside of a clock before!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Lynn what is link for Lesser Spotted Eagle Nest??? ty

hedgie said...

Dana, scroll up to the Estonia link---read my note.
Where on 901 did you see the black vulture?

wvgal_dana said...

Lynn it was past the pig farm on the right. Next to that is the open field. He was sitting on the fence post there. Watching the field. I thought it was pretty neat. Since Lori and Megan had been talking about them. Then I got to see one. They aren't ugly like the Turkey Vulture.

Now let me ask a question. Flying in the sky. How do you tell a juvie eagle from a black turkey vulture???? Information I got:"a black vulture only lives 5 years
over 20 years in captivity. •Black
Vultures can be distinguished from
Turkey Vultures by white patches near their wing tips and by noting that their wings are held flat in flight".
So how would you know whether it is a black vulture or a juvie eaglet-eagle???

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Lynn for the information. I did not "retain" reading about the Estonia link.

hedgie said...

There is a chick in the Lesser's nest!! Can't tell if still an imntact egg or just shell, too.

hedgie said...

Maybe Paula knows a distinquisher, Dana, I don't.

Mema Jo said...

Good morning - I was playing catch
up and I think I just made it!
Great job JudyE on this morning's
nest events! I was actually awake
at 5:00, went to the loo and thought about turning on the PC but
my eyes weren't fully open so I flopped right back into bed.
Shirley - remember to bring one of those Beach balls back with you for a souvenir of this Great Day of Freedom!

hedgie said...

WhooHoo---my Lady of the Loch book came!!!

Mema Jo said...

Wow I forgot to copy/paste but the
Blogger Cop must be taking a break and getting an Orange Danish at Lynne's

Kay - have a blast with Malcolm.

We had a show of thunder early am hours but when I did get up and look outside it was as dry as ever. Maybe this afternoon

Paula - Nature is sure being good to you - and so early in the morning. Hope he got away from those 'pecking gulls'.

Lori - Are you and/or Kay getting
attached to Lucky? How could you
help but not! I bet he is a cutie - I love playing with them
at that age!

hedgie said...

Gotta a great capture of the Lesser feeding her chick!! Will put it on my blog.

Mema Jo said...

I need to go and "Click to Give"
I just know all of you do this
every day! Thanks to you if you do!

7 excellent places for you to "Click and Give"

JudyEddy said...

OHH sounds like thunder on the nest

JudyEddy said...

If anybody ever drops elec devise in water they say to put in rice that it will absorbe the water

JudyEddy said...

MY LIVE FEED is up for 20hrs WOW I just turned off the monitor not the whole computer last night

JudyEddy said...

cop 503 got me again This picture is odd to look at my DAD with a CIG in his hand He had stopped smoking years ago

wvgal_dana said...

co 503 got me too we really weren't speeding lol

JudyE WOW! 20 hrs are you going for "a world record"? lol

JudyEddy said...

OK my cam just froze up no sound and started on its own again ODD

wvgal_dana said...

Kay I loved your comment:
"The kinds of thunder that sounds like Angels are having a blowling tournament." Never heard that one before and I liked it lol

wvgal_dana said...

Hoda I would love to see you practicing with the Dragon Boat. Bet it is beautiful. It just sounds like it is. Being on the water is to me "such a spiritual happening".

hedgie said...

Yep, rice is what they say to use....Christie saved her cell phone that way!

Thanks for the Click reminder, Jo!

hedgie said...

I can remember as a little kid being told that thunder was God bowling!

JudyEddy said...

MARGY love the pics the bird crossing the street DID he look both ways and Love the cows in the river taking a bath tooo cute I love cows I love their soft noses to pet
