hedgie said...

Nice story about the benefactor for the ill lady, JudyE!

paula eagleholic said...

Gnite JudyE...rest well.

paula eagleholic said...

Now the loons are farther out again

hedgie said...

GOing to take Liesl out again and then some sofa time to watch taped Jeopardy. BBIALW.

Lolly said...

Well, come on, will you!! Get those babies in the nest!

Kay said...

LYNN, I have to admit, I already had a taste as soon as I brought it home---you know, just the creamy soft stuff on top due to it being in the hot car for about 2 blocks. ☺ It was soooooo good ! I just know Seth is going to love it !

hedgie said...

Awwww, Judy, thanks! Once upon a time, I would get bitten LOTS and have really BAD reactions! SOmething about my body chemistry changed, I guess, which made me NOT taste good. So maybe another reversal???!!!

hedgie said...

LOL----JudyE...it is THIN skin which comes with age. We've gotta just own up to the fact that we are starting to get the kinds of things we see on our Moms and before that our Grandma's!!

Kay said...

Well, now, didn't that split just slip right up on us as we watched the loonies !

Paula got waxed !

Seems like the parents would love to settle in on the nest for the night, but the kids are saying, aw shucks mom n' dad we don't want to go to bed yet. Amazing how quickly and happily they take to water ! Guess that's what a loons life is all about.

Hoda said...

In Alberta I used to live next to Victor Lake where we had a pair of loons. What I learnt from observing them is that when people in canoes started to bother them and come close to their nests they used to hide the chicks in brush and go away from the spot to distract the boaters.I thought them very smart.Maybe this pair is doing the same and that the chick is simply hidden for safety???

Kay said...

LOL, LYNN, "they" say our taste buds change every so many years. Maybe the way we taste to squeeters changes every now and then, too. They've loved me for over 70 years ! I hope I start to taste bad soon !

Hoda said...

No I see that you all can see the chicks so it is not the Alberta scenario

Lynne2 said...

Hi gang...thank you all for your thoughts and prayers regarding Brother Cat.

We spent a lot of time this evening walking all over, calling for him. THere is still no sign of him.

I'm hoping that he'll still show up.

Lolly said...

Lynne, print out flyers on the computer and pass them out to neighbors. That has worked for us a couple of times.

paula eagleholic said...

no loons in sight!

Lolly said...

One time we took our boat in for repair. AhSo, our Siamese was in the boat. We didn't know it! Went looking for him. No kitty. Thought about the boat. Went to the repair place and yes they had seen AhSo. Business was betweet two very busy streets. Asked at a Putt Putt next door, yest they had seen him. So, we crossed the street and in that neighborhood passed out flyers. We got a call. AhSo had taken up in their garage. Yea!!!!

Kay said...

Time for me to call it a night. Hope all "shuttle eyes" get a good nights sleep and show up at SSCC for coffee and chat in the morning.

Praying for all in pain, out of work, coping with bad neighbors, suffering without A/C..... Praying, too, for our furry friends, Brother Cat and dear ol' Nugz.

May God Bless and Keep you all !♥♥♥

♥L♥I♥B♥E♥R♥T♥Y !!!!!!!

Lynne2 said...

Lynn, that's just crazy about your neighbors. Geesh. So sorry you have to deal with that and hopefully the HOA will be able to do something.

Lynne2 said...

Lolly, wow, your SIL...that's some serious diet. That's pretty scary if you ask me. I hope the Dr knows what he is doing. 500 cals a day seems dangerous. How long does he have to do that?

paula eagleholic said...

Geesh is it 10:30 already! No wonder Nugz is bugging me for his snack!

Lynne2 said...

temps are going down now, really nice breeze!

Lynne2 said...

going to go scrub the sweat and dirt and tears of this day off.

Lolly said...

Yes, Joey is closely monitored by a doctor. After a period of time they increase the calories. I do hope this doctor knows what he is doing!!! Yes...500 calories is starvation! Or close to it!

Lolly said...

But, this is just like Joey to try something different. He is always trying some kind of diet and not sticking with it. I say, how about just eat less, eat wisely and excercise. Duh!

paula eagleholic said...

Glad he is doing something, Lolly. Losing the weight should help his BP and cholesteral levels...I didn't realize he was 6'6"...he is a big guy.

Lolly said...

Played football...high school and college.

Lolly said...

That is why my boys are so tall! Laurel is also 5' 11" and I am not short! LOL

Lolly said...

Played football at East Carolina and U of Houston. He hurt his back, left football and went to Stephen F. Austin Univ. where he met Laurel.

paula eagleholic said...

Guess the loons aren't coming back!

I'm done for tonight, gonna hit the hay.

See you folks in the morning light!

(((Hugs to all ♥)))

Mema Jo said...

I just hope Joey's energy level holds up. I have been doing a good
bit of cutting down on portions.
Trying so hard to give up the breads and pastas and oh yes, pastries. lol

hedgie said...

Lolly, East Carolina was on my short list, if I remember correctly. Nothing worked out, tho'; didn't get to go away for school. Had to go local.

Goodnight, Paula, Lynne, Kay....and anyone else ready for zzzzz's.
I am calling it a night, too---last night was too short!

Prayers for Brother Cat's safe return home.....and for all in need, pain or want.

I would also like you to please add our minister, Pastor John, to your prayer list. He is going through a very difficult situation.
Thank you.

Lynne2 said...

G'night Lynn, prayers for your Pastor.

Lolly said...

I am going to say good night. Rodney is still not here. He has had one long day. Bet he is exhausted.

Sweet dreams and I will check in when I can tomorrow.

Lolly said...

Forgot to say...prayers for Brother Cat to return home!

(((Hugs))) Lynne!

Lynne2 said...

I'm heading for bed too. Don't think I'll sleep much but I don't have to be to work til 1pm.

Good night everyone and prayers for you all! And thanks for yours for us!

Costume Lady said...

Well, looks like our loons are done with the nest for this year.
Swim safely, little Loonies:)

I'm headed for bed pretty soon, so I will say...GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
PRAYERS FOR ALL~

NatureNut said...

Dozing off in comfy lounge chair, as usual. So time to hit the hay and say, Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)

Mema Jo said...

Going to say Good Night
Prayers for all those in need
Prayer Brother Cat will come home
Hugs for all ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

stronghunter said...

East Carolina, Lolly. That is my undergraduate school!

Gotta head upstairs. We had a little problem come up with Flash. Poor pup has an infected anal gland. Trip to the emergency vet cost $500.00. I stayed here with Hunter while Kathryn took Flash.

It turns out that the anal gland should not be expressed too often, something Kathryn had had done a few times when he was groomed.

He was in a lot of pain and was one stressed doggy. He's now wearing one of those collars, which is also upsetting for him. We finally got him calmed down. They sedated him, so maybe he will sleep well tonight.

I have also been busy writing essay questions for my dual enrollment students. My department chair says that she doesn't want to assign dual enrollment students to honors classes anymore. It causes teachers to have to teach two different courses at once--two syllabi, two class rolls, two gradebooks, and, for me, two exams for one class.

God bless and good night.

stronghunter said...

Hope Brother Cat is on your doorstep tomorrow morning, Lynne.

Hoda said...

Goodnight every one...I cannot stay up any longer.
I hope Brother Cat returns by tomorrow Lynne.
God Bless you all and the creaturs too.

Lori O. said...

Good Morning Eagle Land Friends.

Prayers for LYNN's Pastor John, and for LYNNE's Brother Cat. I sure hope he has come home LYNNE. ♥

Pretty well caught up now on the blog, but running behind getting ready for work.

See you Early Birds in a little bit at the SSCC.

For all our Giant Panda lovers, here's some exciting news from this morning's Washington Post.

Baby Giant Panda for National Zoo?

Lori O. said...

IT'S 5:00 IN EAGLE LAND!

GOOD THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 2ND!

Kay said...

Good Morning gLORI !

Here's hoping the D.C. Panda is preggers and will give birth soon. Interesting that no one can know for sure !

The loon family has left the nest, taking to the water. Loons turn out to be an intersting group of birds. " Loon chicks are able to swim and dive right away, but will often ride on their parents' back during their first 2 weeks to rest, conserve heat, and avoid predators. Chicks are fed mainly by their parents for about six weeks but gradually begin to feed themselves over time. By 11 or 12 weeks, chicks gather almost all of their own food and have learned to fly." So, they only need a nest for about a month and we needn't have worried about the chicks so quickly jumping into the drink !

Kay said...

SHIRLEY, what's this about a new assignment to write essay questions for dual enrollment students ? Something you must do before your retirement date, leaving behind for your replacment, or something to be used in your last few days of teaching ?

Lori O. said...

Good Morning KAY!

I was just thinking this could be a rather depressing day with our cameras still down...

The LOON NEST is EMPTY this morning.

And, of course, the NBG EAGLETS at WCV are out of sight while their enclosure is upgraded for greater flying space.

Kay, could you hand me a tissue, please?

Kay said...

LYNN, will be praying for your pastor !

SHIRLEY, poor Flash and poor pocketbook. I'm beginning to think those medical policies for pets are a good idea.

LYNNE, hope Brother Cat is back !

Lori O. said...

Found this on the NBG Eaglets site on the moderated discussion from last night during which Ed Clark was answering some questions.

I remember we had talked about the remains of the NBG Mother eagle and someone thought NBG got to keep the remains - here's what was said:

10:18 [Comment From Smokester in NJSmokester in NJ: ]
Hey Mr. Clark...i was wondering if the mother's remains were sent to the National Eagle Repository. I don't think I ever saw anything on that? Thank you.


Wednesday June 1, 2011 10:18 Smokester in NJ
10:18 MVK: I am not Mr. Clark - but yes they were.

Kay said...

Sniff, sniff, I feel your pain, LORI ! I still have the goshawks, several osprey nests and several eagle aeries to keep tabs on. Watching life in the wild means lots of joy, some heartache and a lot of goodbyes each year. The real void for me is the period between about Sept.1 and Jan.1, but I expect that to be a little different this year. Why? Because I have my Momster/Dadster buds to help me get through those slow months !

Kay said...

All is quiet at the Goshawk nest, no wind, kind of shady, two snoozing chicks. Their fluffy white down giving way to lots of dark pin feathers now. No adult in sight right now, but no doubt very close by.

Kay said...

Seth and Malcolm will be with me for several hours starting at 10 this morning. Happy to see our temps are dropping back to the more normal 80 degree range. That will make dog walking a lot more pleasant than it has been for the last few days.

DanaMo said...

Well my third son turns 16 today! Wow I still don't understand how they are getting older and I am not!
First day at school with no students. Lots of work to do, but it should be easy to get it all done!

Kay said...

Hi DANA ! Happy Birthday to son #3 ! Any big party plans or is your family partied out ? So, Grandpa has him all set for the driver's license, huh ?

Lori O. said...

Poor SHIRLEY, oooooohhh poor FLASH! FloBear has had that before and it wasn't fun for anyone.

HOW MANY DAYS LEFT SHIRLEY?

Lori O. said...

KAY, we'll always be here for you!

Good Morning DANA!

Lori O. said...

KAY, what's up at the other cams?

Loon nest is still empty and I'm missing the "ThreEaglets" at WCV.

Lori O. said...

OH, it looks like the Loon parents are floating on the lake near the nest. Too far to see babies though.

Kay said...

Most of the eagle nests are still under darkness. Isla's nest cam is down and the Finnish osprey nests are frozen. Lots of frustration today !!!! Going back to the loons and will check Decorah.

Kay said...

Decorah threesome very cute today. Looking around as if to say, "where's breakfast". One fascinated with what appears to be a piece of bamboo, carrying it around, pausing to gnaw on it. A sib tries to take it away, but fails.

floralgirl said...

Morning all:)
Today's nest weather-Sunny. Highs in the lower 80s. Northwest winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.
Have a great day!

Kay said...

Hi MEGAN ! Looks like your heat is breaking, too. A nice day ahead !

Loons are being elusive today. An adult occasionally floats into view, but can't tell is there is a chick on board. The wind and rough water has set in again with the rising of the sun.

floralgirl said...

Hello Kay, yep looks to be a nice day here, don't know about that wind in the forecast, but we'll see.

Lori O. said...

KAY darling (lol) before you hop off, yesterday you spoke/wrote of "dear Rico." What kind of bird was Rico?

Kay said...

Wow, my eyelids are getting very heavy. Think I'll plop down on the couch, listen to some fine soft rock on the radio and perhaps drift away for a while. It won't hurt to get more rest before I pick the boys up---I love having them, but they do wear me out !

BBL

Lori O. said...

Go ahead KAY, take a nap. I'll wake you up at 9:30 so you'll be ready when they arrive.
((BIG Hug))

Kay said...

LORI, Rico was a yellow head parrot---kind of the typical "pirate ship mascot". He had a wide and clean vocabulary. When Stan got so sick we gave him to my stepson. Rico didn't hit it off with Stuart's wife and they sold him to a pet shop that was thrilled to get him for an in store attraction. He "had a stroke and died" shortly before Stan passed, but Stuart didn't tell me until later as he didn't want to upset his dad. Rico lived approx. 30 years.

JudyEddy said...

Good Morning Eagle Buds

LOLLY what a nice cat story

WOW Loons leave the nest super early one to two days after birth that is fast A family on the move always

Hello JUDYE!

Ya know, there'll BE-NO tolerance from the FB Police. Loved your comments yesterday. :)


KAY - I had 2 parrots in my lifetime. An Indian Ring Neck and a Green Cheeked Amazon. Patience and Jaime (Hy-may) were their names. Rico sounds like he was quite a gentleman. I'm so sorry that his story did not end happily for him or you.

Lori O. said...

Now, you're deleting your own links, JUDYE?

Lori O. said...

I was having eaglet withdrawls but feeling a little better now that I've seen the Duke Farms duo.

I love that they are in a Sycamore tree, too. So nice to see that.

JudyEddy said...

Enjoy your special day. ☺

JudyEddy said...

I love the HMO comment on it funny got my calll from angie bye

Judie said...

Good morning, everyone.

Loons seem to have left the nest. Sure wish they had stayed a day or two more.

Decorah eaglets looking good. Lots of practice there.

Bears busy doing bear things.

Lynne2, if Brother Cat has not returned, try putting outside something with his/your scent maybe near the door, a vehicle, etc.

Lynne, sorry you were bitten but I think it's just cause you're so sweet. Prayer for Pastor John.

Kay, enjoy having Seth and Malcolm with you today.

DanaMo, happy birthday to your son.

Shirley, why are you writing essays just days before school ends? Sorry about Flash and hope he will keep the collar on.

Cooler here this morning. Nice, if brief, relief.

Headed for coffee and newspaper.

Have a nice morning!

Judie said...

Doing a Margy: Margy, have a fun day. Look for ya later.

Lynne2 said...

Morning all....no sign of Brother. Hope is diminishing.

Judie, Brother has been living here for 9 1/2 years as an indoor/outdoor cat. He knows the area well, and our scent is everywhere.

hedgie said...

Morning all. It is BEAUTIFUL here. 71°, breezy---no humidity to speak of!! Hope it lasts!

Re: NZ Panda.....very funny that the "watch" started yesterday from 4-7pm....not quite sure why only three hours! Can't remember when Mits said that the 24/7 watch will begin.....she did not work yesterday's shift because she is at the b---h!!!

hedgie said...

Shirley, saw on FB about poor Flash last night.....hope he is doing better this morming.

Need to read through morning posts to find out if Bro Cat is home....

Lori O. said...

LYNNE - My heart is with you and Brother Cat. Special prayers for both of you, and hubby.

Can always try:

1. The old sound of a can opening trick.

2. Putting out a can of tuna and carrying it with you on your search walks.

3. Print signs and put them up now. The sooner the better.

4. Free lost & found ad in local newspaper.

A big hug, Lynne. I'm thinking positive for you.

hedgie said...

Happy Birthday to DanaMo's #3 son!
(I had a SharPei pup named Number One Son---he was the first born from Shang's litter, but had hydrocephalus and had to be euthanized at 10 days).

Loch of Lowe's down for appx. 6 hrs. for internet maintenance per email from Wildlife Village. Of course, don't know the time parameters.

hedgie said...

Kay, only FinFerry is frozen. The other two are working fine.

hedgie said...

Lori, I posted the Sauces info last night with a link. Scroll back a bit if you need the link!

hedgie said...

Thanks for reposting Sauces link, JudyE. No one had to go search!

Margy, hope your day is a fun one.
And, I, too, will say Happy Birthday, Char, whoever and whereever you are!!!!

hedgie said...

No bucket truck/lift used for Duke banding, and the climber doesn't look like any spring chicken!
WOnder hoe high that nest is.....looks like the guy is going to get stabbed by nest sticks! Thanks for posting that, JudyE...I had missed it!

hedgie said...

LOL, Kay....re: ice cream---that soft creaminess is always!!!!

T-Bird said...

Good morning eagle momsters and dadsters.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING...
Hi, Thelma, have you gotten everyting unpacked yet. Feeling better? Truly hope so♥

Costume Lady said...

Wonder what is taking so long to get our CAM wires fixed...how many men does it take to fix a wire?
One man to fix wire and a hundred men to get rid of the ants!

stronghunter said...

Judie, the essay questions are for the exam. Only four students have to do an essay exam--they get college credit. The other students get multiple choice. I can read four essay exams before Monday, the day senior grades are due.

Flash is ok this morning. Will is supposed to check on him today. He is having difficulty with the collar thingy. Poor guy.

We were worried about him last night because he was so stressed that he was panting and shaking. Kathryn sat with him for a long time and stroked his ears.

Mema Jo said...

Good Beautiful Morning Here In The Valley!
So sorry to hear about tornado up in MA and the destruction it caused

Hair do today! Need to keep it very
short!

Brother cat, I know you have a mind of your own BUT your owners
are suffering emotionally.
COME HOME!

I ask Alexis when was she having
a field day - "Last Friday" Ooops
I guess I missed that one
Margy have a great time -Kids are going to love you!

Wish also that the loon family
would have stayed a day or two
longer. They still could swim by
the nest area.

Wanda, I agree with you about
fixing our BLUE cam.

Mema Jo said...

Happy birthday Char! Hope you have fun and receive lots of lovely
caring wishes


If you're over on FB you can find
Char - Washington State

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning

Thanks for posting the Eagle Release.
Do you know where the eagle was captured from?

Hedgie-Lynn thanks for posting Sauce webcam. Don't know if I will be here to see it. Hope there will be a youtube video of it.

Lynne2 so hoping your cat comes home.


Don't understand that about the year books. We loved getting our friends to write stuff in them.

Jo so glad you appt. turned out good.
Way to go gal!!!!! I have always got you in prayers. Even when you don't have an appointment.

Love comments from so many others; oh yes Margy no dents will be taken out of me lol

wvgal_dana said...

Since I don't have time to go to facebook. What is wrong with FLASH?

Happy Birthday Char

wvgal_dana said...

I am looking for an inexpensive dvr. Anyone know best place and low cost?

wvgal_dana said...

I didn't think they would cost $200.00just for a dvr recorder.WOW thought since they been out awhile. Price would have come down. dang

hedgie said...

Feeding going on at Sauces.....hope the eaglet doesn't get motion sick if they take him down for the banding!

hedgie said...

Dana, the stupid yearbook situation has existed here in Berkeley Co. since my kids were in high school---they graduated in '90 and '93.

Did you check Best Buy or WalMart prices?

hedgie said...

Oops, forgot to say that I am so sad about Bro Cat for Lynne.....don't give up!!! Cats can be very independent--and self-sufficient!

Hi Thelma! GOod air conditioning today, I bet! Here, too----delightful!

Hi, Wanda! Make you apptmt.!!

Lori O. said...

Hi LYNN - I just checked Sauces, too and didn't see anyone. Eaglet still in the nest. Too bad it doesn't have sound.

Lori O. said...

Does anyone know what that nest at Sauces is on top of? Sometimes the view is so beautiful, I call it "Modern Eagle's Nest" - because it's so sparse.

Lynne2 said...

still no sign of Brother. Flyers are on mailboxes and poles all over.

If you remember, Brother has been a bit sick...Cancer worries, or just IBD. He'd been doing fine but a couple of things were "off". Usually his depo shot lasted a month (for the diarrhea) but when he got it last time, it didn't last but 2 weeks. So I had just taken him back last week for another. His stool did firm up. Still, cats hide illness really well. He may have been sicker than we knew. He didn't eat dinner that night, but he did go for our late walk with the dogs with us, and even played with Daisy in the field. And then there was the vomit by the door. That worries me. He was gone for 3 days once before, but that was years ago.

Anyway, keep up the prayers! There is still a chance we'll find him. I just wish I didn't have to go to work today.....

hedgie said...

Now Finney2 is frozen, too....wonder what is going on? at least 1 is still running.
Geesh! Gremlins? Sunspots??!!!

Lori O. said...

Ah, LYNNE - you think BC was so sick that he went away because he associates the pain with where he lives and is trying to escape it? Sounds odd, but it's something I read a long time ago. Who really knows how a cat's mind works? Just trying to throw things out there.
Prayers being said for both of you.

Hoda said...

Good Morning...THE SUN IS OUT THE SUN IS OUT!!! So GREAT to see it. Have a Great Day every one. Bro Cat is not back yet? It is true they are independent and maybe there is a love interest in the neighbourhood?

hedgie said...

From CRC:
Bad news on the cameras. The camera in the aviary is dead. The camera out in the hack tower will be rebooted this afternoon. We'll give you an update when they go out this afternoon.

Troubles everywhere!

Lori O. said...

Yeah, HODA gets her vitamin D3 today! Enjoy every moment of it Hoda.

hedgie said...

Jose Baez is a stupid jerk. If there is ever an appeal of this case, it will have to be for inept defense counsel!!
Too bad that witnesses can't sue him for defamation.

Lori O. said...

LYNN you probably have all your chores done and Leisl getting her "drop it" command perfect, while I have not accomplished a thing yet. Off to do some work.

LYNNE - stay strong on your diet/nutrition make-over. I only lost 1 lb last wk! UGH! But we are going to do it!

WANDA - laughed my 1 pound lighter buns off at your "how many men does it take to fix a camera?" That's the Grandma Tiger we love so much!

Prayers and positive thoughts for Brother Cat. Good deal on the posters already Lynne!

Lori O. said...

BAEZ knew it would be a televised trial so he loses nothing.

Lori O. said...

OK - leaving. Have a good day all. I'm not allowing myself back on the blog until I've accomplished something Lynn-like, a big list of chores!

hedgie said...

Boy, am I ever stupid---and no one caught it!! LOL.......Sauces banding will be between 4 and 6 our time!!! I was going backwards last night.....blame it on being tired and sleepy!!!!

Lynne2 said...

anything is possible Lori....it just kills me that if he is wounded, or that sick, that he is suffering, and for who knows how long. Rather find a body than never know....

STAY STRONG DIET BUDDY!

Going to work....will check in later! HAGDE

hedgie said...

No idea about the nest geography, Lori.

Lori O. said...

OK - one more thing...are you sure SAUCES BANDING was at 10 our time - must be ten their time so it's 1 our time. NOPE - it's 1 -3 their time, so 4 our time. JudyE, you and I both need a math tutor! LOL!

wvgal_dana said...

Heading to town to cut the cost down of my tv.


Enjoy your day ( :

Lori O. said...

Gosh, the sheer genious on this blog sometimes is frightening. rotflmbo!

LOL, Lori! Baez may never get another client after this fiasco. He is in over his head......what kind of dummy would take a capital/death penalty murder case for the first murder case to ever try??


Lynne, I know your heart is heavy with worry, but going to work may be just what you need. Maybe Bro Cat will come home while you're gone......and be waiting for you with one of those "who, ME?" looks.

hedgie said...

Chores NOT finished here, Lori....just puttering along slowly getting them done!

Lori O. said...

Then I mistype genius! Pa-leeze! OK, leaving now - really.

Mema Jo said...

Headed out the door for hair cut.
Should be back in plenty of time to
see the banding by Dr Peter now that you all have decided on the time! lol

Construction of the NBG Cage this was on face book check it out Just got back from park I am pooped and Jordyn is down for a nap we went to Largo Park the new one she had a blast as always - I missed the banding of the sauces being i was at park I wonder if there is a YouTube video I will go looking later for it BBL

Lolly said...

Just a quick peek on. Really wanted to know about Bro Cat and see that he has not made a grand appearance. Oh, Lynne, we all feel for you. This is not what you two needed on top of all the other "junk"! (((Hugs)))

Rodney got here late. He had gone to bed at 1 the night before, and got only 2 hours sleep. By the time we went to bed he had been up almost 24 hours! Have had a great morning...breakfast on the patio. It was only 72 and pleasant. Up to 87 now and climbing.

I have been baking this morning. Made bars last night and made another new recipe today. Looks like a winner if you like chocolate and peanut butter!!

Jack and Rodney are enjoying each others company and out in the shop playing. I pretty much have the day to myself and plan to do some more baking.

Read the loon report and it is so nice to read his great description of the loons. I can just see the adult diving with the loony on his back and it coming back up like a cork. LOL

Have a great day everyone. Lynne, hang in there. We will keep the prayers going for Bro!

Hoda said...

JudyE you did not miss the banding at the Sauces it is 1:00 PM PDT and

It is wonderful to have stories of grand children, they seem to be such a vibrant part of your lives.

JudyEddy said...

I was only following what was said by we won't say who about the time I keep looking and no wonder I can't find any thing on it HA LOL

JudyEddy said...

REMEMBER KETTLER the HAWK This was on face book The hawk has been there over 20 year has passed away

JudyEddy said...

The lifespan of a Broad-winged Hawk in the wild is 12 years; at the age of 23, Kettler may have set a new record for longevity of a Broad-winged Hawk in captivity. We are fortunate to have had her in the WCV family for so many years.

This is part of the article toooo cool that she lived that long

hedgie said...

RIP, Kettler. Long life, for sure.

JudyE and Hoda....banding between 4 and 6 EST..... 1-3 for you Hoda if your time is the same as US PST!

Lolly, enjoy your vooking!!! Or is that vaking???

Hoda said...

Lynn are you in California? Yes I am on Pacific Daylight Time? I should be back from yoga to see part of it...Paid bills today and headed out to Dragon Boat Paddling in the early evening so it feels like a full day with my morning yoga practice...

Hoda said...

No No, Lynn is in West Virginia I checked your avatar...my confusion...I am on Oregon and California time PDT

Mema Jo said...

RIP KETTLER

Back from hair cut and it is short!

Mema Jo said...

movin said...

Judie said...

Good late afternoon, everyone.

Back from a day of flower shopping. Got a butterfly bush, day lilies, lantana, some herbs, another tomato (cherry), and a few other things.

Hot and tired. Legs and ankle not happy with the shopping expedition.

Will return after dinner (supper).

Mema Jo said...

JIM Dr Sharpe is coming to band
the eaglet at the Sauces nest

JudyEddy said...

the sauces nest is also one that is on a mtn top?? climbing it???

JudyEddy said...

I wish we could see its terrain also like the other video showed but of course that was after the fact so maybe they will do the same kind of video One could hope

Mema Jo said...

Judy - I am not familiar with the
Sauces nest - new one to me but
I would presume it is high up on
a mountain top (cliff)

JudyEddy said...

I was hoping they would start it before I have to leave I guess Jordyn and I just could be late for supper

JudyEddy said...

Looks so pretty and really high up

JudyEddy said...

I wonder if he is on is way up and with one of the adults in the nest this could get interesting ya think

Mema Jo said...

I would guess that this banding won't start until A40 flies off.

JudyEddy said...

On the facebook page IWS I thought they would have something on it by now but not yet

JudyEddy said...

Do you think they are on their way up since it looks like a long climb up

Mema Jo said...

Judy the first link I did is for the IWS forum. I am certain they will have a video of the event afterwards.

JudyEddy said...

I love the way the parent looks at the eaglet

NatureNut said...

Good. good afternoon!!!Great weather. Just got back from Plant City. Didn't get everything I want, buty can only plant so much! Will be digging til dusk!!!!
Saw our little hummer boy this AM, got feeder to change food, and of course while I'm in kitchen fixing it, he came back and flew around the hanger!We've seen one female that "sits pretty". Never know if they're the same ones from past years---they won't wear their name tags! ~~Later~~☺

JudyEddy said...

Hey we have a Plant City here tooo

JudyEddy said...

I wish it had sound

JudyEddy said...

Everyone on facebook did you LIKE the Institute of Wildlife page they always have videos on it Just checking

JudyEddy said...

If only they knew what was about to happen

JudyEddy said...

someone looks to be making noises maybe they are getting close

JudyEddy said...

Calling out I think Or lots of yawing HA LOL

Mema Jo said...

A40 acting like a disturbance on the left side of the nest...

Mema Jo said...

There went A40
Let the banding begin

JudyEddy said...

That what I thought wasn't very happy I'm looking also at the live chat on the three nest site to see if they say anythong so far nothing

Lolly said...

Hi! Have Sauces up and watching!

We have been sitting here visiting and just saw our resident bunny rabbit go hopping around the back yard. Hope Annie does not get the idea to go after a bunny!

JudyEddy said...

I just made the screen bigger little fuzzy but it bigger

JudyEddy said...

Is anyone else experience some interference with the cam feed

Lolly said...

I have always wondered about the hummingbirds...are they the same ones each year? Always put the feeders up April 1. One year before I got the feeder up...there was a hummer looking around...as if "where is the feeder?" So, had to have been a hummer from the year before!

Mema Jo said...

If you are reading along on the CHIL forum remember to keep refreshing it and then go to the
bottom for last remark.
