«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 851 Newer› Newest»I wasn't looking for the SPLIT.
Shirley - you got it! lol
Lynn, my shoulders have been hurting for a long time. hurt even to type. I had a visit with my GP on Monday and said that it was getting worse and can anything be done? So I got two cortisone shots. Much improvement in pain and mobility. I know those shots do not always work. I had an occupational therapist this summer who showed me some exercises but I quit doing them because of the pain. Going to see if I can get in touch with her for a refresher! Thank you for your knowledge.
Split took me by surprise, too, Jo. Hope we didn't lose anyone.
Split took me by surprise, too, Jo. Hope we didn't lose anyone.
Please excuse the double post.
Oh JO, I am so happy you liked them. I thought they were lovely.
Yes, I do not always see the morning visit with breathing treatments and sometimes sleep! LOL!
Going to fix some dinner. Thank you all for such a wonderful day!
Sorry, Had to turn on the oven so I can heat up my RIBS too :)
I grew up in Fairfield, PA which is close to Gettysburg and not far from Sheperdstown. When you grow up in the country everything within 45 minutes is "close" ;}
I've heard of 2 bald eagle sightings in Fairfield within the last week. I'm thinking we may have a nest up there now! That is so exciting!!
Lynn, I've been having trouble with my shoulders and back since I was in high school. I was one of the early people to actually be diagnosed with fibromayalgia. I've taken so many drugs and had so much physical therapy and the only thing that really helps is exercise and good sleep. Hope yours feel better soon and it's easily treatable!
NX info
Heading to the beach, catch ya later!
Hi Christine and Suzan, good to see ya!
Sure missed JudyE not being here on her lunch break to get a video for us! Wow
she would have been so pleased with our eagles! Perhaps she will be at Angie's
tonight and see all our remarks...
MISS YOU JUDY E
Safe journey for you and Nick, Paula.
Isn't this the 'close down' weekend?
Do any of you have a problem
placing balls on the Christmas tree?
Seriously, I go mad! I am a Libra and
I just can't do it! Therefore, hubby
is placing the balls and decorations on
our tree! You just gotta love him ♥
Need a break - going to watch this
house become a lot like Christmas! ♥
Thanks LYNN for the NX report.
Safe journey PAULA. I hope you have a GREAT weekend.
I forgot to take pictures of the evening visit...I wished this would come to my mind right away...it does not...Oh well.
JO I definityl think your hubby is a keeper...first he clips your nails and then he does the Christmas tree decorations...you are one spoilt lady...
Christine, it's NCSuzan who is having the shoulder problems. My bad bursitis was a long time ago! Now I have a torn meniscus.....plus the cancer. :(
Thanks for your concern!!
RIBS here were delicious!!! Famous Dave's---first time I've ever had them. And their corn muffins are really good, too! OF course, I use LOTS of butter!!
Suzan, do you have a rubber band thing for your exercises?? That was what my therapy used mostly---and climbing my fingers up the wall like they do for mastectomy patients.
Monte just went to pick up Buffalo Wild Wings! Yum...gonna have a nice cold beer and eat my wings right here at home! In my pj's.
Paula and Nick have fun! I hope you have a safe trip and a good weekend.
Christine, do you know how close Fairfield is to Mont Alto? That's where our Suzanne lives and she just retired. She's our "eyes to the skies" gal!!!
Jack and I went out and did a little "looking" and then came home and ordered some gifts on line.
The fog we had today was unbelievable. Have not seen it like that in a long time. Fog and mist all day! Rain expected this weekend and it could be substantial. Pray!! Then possible sleet and snow flurries early next week. Interesting weather the next few days.
It is a chili and cornbread night!
Great to see PattiO and Christine on here today. Missed this evenings short visit. I knew they had been there as the "leg" was moved. lol
evening all! Geesh, busy busy busy. Not any time to read back. UGH!
Just wanted to check in so no one worries. Hope everyone is well! Might have time later tonight to catch up on blog, FB and email.
Dern, I think I got lost with the split. I posted and suddenly there were loads of posts I had not seen. Duh!
I have had the frozen shoulder problem before. Had therapy and that was a very painful ordeal!!
Yep Hedgie, I know Mont Alto. I used to spend a lot of time in Waynesboro at the skating rink. We were all over the place when I was young! :)
Lots of posts because we had a lot of eagle activity!
DanaMo---good for you! Eating out in! Love the BWW's! I get the salt&vinegar dry rub on mine!
Paula---drive carefully!
Hope your heat is working!!
Heading to the sofa for awhile. I'm tired! Hope I stay awake for Jeopardy!
Diann just called.....she is sounding very chipper!
Helllooooo Eagle Pals...
Lynn
I think, DanaWV left out a comma in this post:
Lynn is having Hyperthyroidism bad???
I think, maybe the comma after your name, and then the question....directed to you for some information....
so maybe some health thing going on in HER family....
Just a thought....
There were three of us at work, watching the Late morning Eagle visit....I told Carolyn The Eagles are in the nest, she said I hope I can hurry up and open it up and see them...then we gave another co-worker the website...
we were all mesmerized....as I can see everyone watching, was !!
Of course we could not have any sound....so we missed all the calling....would have loved to hear that !!!
Hoping that Linda DID take that break to her friends' house, and can relax, and rejuvenate a LOT....
and also NC Suzan, sorry about your discomfort also, and Nurse Lynn did in fact have her superlative information to offer..
That's our Hedgie !!!
got some emails to crank out, be back in awhile...
xoxo ♥
More food talk, and of course now I am hungry!
Did have some home-made dumplings, ham and vegetables at work though....
was very tasty....
okay, see ya'
oh PS:
I saw DanaWV at the Martinsburg post office, she was sending off two boxes of crackers to Rashhida, ones she likes but can't find in Colorado....
DanaWV is still spending lots of time with her Mother, and was going back there after the post office, said she probably won't make it to the Blog tonight, but
she asked me to Send her Love to Everyone
Message delivered ! xoxo ♥
Chili is on! Will let it cook and then make some cornbread.
ooops typo
make that Raschida
I am at the TV.
BBL
Fireplace is smelling good, chili about done, and cornbread just went into the oven.
Hope Paula's Paradise does not take a long time to warm up!
Jack and I were the first to the lodge in CO. It took forever to warm up. We had some electric heat and a fireplace going, but it took the wood stove in the snow room to finally warm the place up.
Sorting through papers has to be the worst thing ever!!! This is what I have spent my time doing for the past couple of hours. I thought when I joined in the computer world my paper trail would ease off...it has not...I had a six months accumulation of papers...I decided I can not keep it all to 2012!!! I must try to do it more often!!!I hope your evening is more pleasant!!!
OK ENOUGH ALREADY with the complaints. All I have to do right now is go file it all...BBL. I did enjoy my supper.I also liked folding the cloth bag where it was all stored for safe keeping...LOL
Lolly, what was the "snow" room???
Margy, maybe you are right about Dana's comment. I did not think of that.
I, too, hope Linda is having a pleasnt evening on the balcony overlooking the ocean. She sure NEEDS that peaceful interlude.
I missed Jeopardy! ZZZZ's won out.
Will watch it tomorrow.
whew, I think I am caught up finally!
Dang this work thing! LOL! I sure missed a lot of fun on here today with eagle visits and chat!
I think I may have missed some things while trying to read at the speed of sound!
So sorry to hear the Linda's mom is not doing as well as she had hoped. Geez. Continued prayers, Linda.
DanaMo....your comment about the in-laws...LOL! I have realized over the many years I've seen families joined in marriage that this can be a not so ideal situation. I'm so very blessed to have a WONDERFUL Mother in Law! And, I think Steve is very blessed because he does NOT have to deal with MY former mother....
PRINGLES!!!! Yay for James!
Sharon, of course I posted on your FB wall....OMG.....that girl is a hoot! A LEG in a manger, no crib for it's bed!!!
Good Evening Eagle Buds! Didn't get to see all the eagle action.
Maybe tomorrow.
Think my eyes have had it---been working on address labels to print. This year's ink is dark red!! I wanted to go downstairs and wrap, but I may fall asleep on the couch!! Go to Park in AM--maybe an eagle!!! PLZ!!!
We just learned my wonderful local stepson, Dennis, has invited us for Xmas din din!!!He's having turkey and ham! We can take some side goodies, etc.
In case I konk out which is highly likely, Prayers for all ailments, especially our Lynn and
Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)
Hi Lynne !!
Yeah, work, what an inconvenience !!!
So Long Loretta !
Happy Eagle-ing in the morning..
sometimes we are all like ships passing in the night, or the morning, or the middle of the day!
Laundry going, just remembered I am supposed to painting my fingernails...guess I better go do that....
I have some GOOD NEWS!!!!!!
Yesterday, my bosses told me how happy they are with what a great job I have been doing and
I GOT A RAISE!!!! WOOOOO HOOOOO! And a good one...a dollar and hour more! And with one of my co-workers retiring at the end of the year...MORE HOURS!!!
CONGRATULATIONS LYNNE. This is AWESOME. You deserve it and I am glad they recognise an excellent worker in you.
I really must buy a shredder. It is what I miss the most since I retired. I had one in my classroom and boy did I use it...its part of the reason I get a back log of papers to sort out is tearing papers is not like shredding them...In my little town they are very expensive. The office supply stores here mark up their merchandise a great deal...
I know what you mean Hoda...I spent a good many hours sorting and filing last weekend. UGH.
Bravo and Yay Lynne...hard-worked for, and well-deserved....Nice little Holiday Gifty coming your way...
Hoda, Gotcha on the shredder thing, sometimes I take some things to the office to shred...we can't burn paper so I can't horn in on someone's burn pile either....
Sharon Does Indeed get the Funny of the Day Award...with the Leg in
the Manger Jingle.....Priceless!
Time for MY Tom Sweetie!! To sofa we go.
♥ ♥ ♥ Enjoy, Lynn....Swooooon
Yea, Lynne! That is fantastic news!
Lynn, the snow room was the room you entered when you came in the back. We could all leave our coats and boots there. Had two chairs to sit on to remove shoes. A great room, every house should have one...saves the floors and they had beautiful hardwood floors in the kitchen and under the game table. The rest of the house was carpeted.
At the beach safe and sound...house is 50...little breeze down here but nice
Time to batten down the hatches here, Saturday is work day for me...
Taking prayers to the pillows for ALL our special concerns, amongst us, our family, friends and pets...
Hope Wanda and family had some Friday Night Family Fun tonight, and that Paula's travels to the Paradise have gone well...
Diann....Behave! No overdoing it allowed ! We want you back 100% and then some!
Good Night, Precious Pals...
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
Hoda...family pics blog....I have added a picture of our Christmas tree. Will get outside pictures later!
Remember to click on the picture to make it larger.
Oh brother...I just washed the empty washing machine tub....forgot to put the clothes in again !!!
I did get the first load done right
:(
Hate to waste water like that !!!
Oh and can you say pine needles LOL...you wouldn't know I raked the yard!
OH MARGY!!!! You pulled a LYNNE!!!
Glad you are there, Paula. Safe and sound. Have a great weekend. Anyone with you this weekend?
Lolly I'm not Hoda, but I peeked and it is Beauteous....
Yay Paula, you are THERE....
and yes, Lynne, my name is Margy and my favorite color is forgetfulness !
'Night, Gals....
Have done that, Margy! At least your washer is clean! lol
LOL Margy....it was posted for you to see, too! Hoda, had just asked!
very beautiful Lolly!
I don't know if we'll have a tree this year...our neighbors down the street are selling them, and have offered one to us in exchange for Steve helping with some firewood. But we have a sofa this year in the tiny living room, rather than the 2 chairs we could rearrange. There really isn't a practical way to rearrange things now to put even a small tree!
hey Paula, maybe THIS will be the weekend you see some SWANS!!
Wonderful news, Lynne2. Congratulations. So very very happy for you. If not a small live tree, maybe a tiny Charlie Brown tree? A symbol of the Christmas spirit?
The night light is on. Restful sleep for all. Love and hugs.
Hi Judie!!
Oh, we'll have the Nativity up, and other stuff!
Welcome to Paradise PAULA. I am glad yoiu made a safe trip.
LOLLY OMG!!! WHAT A TREE!!! Worth all the effort of checking out the lights...it adds warmth and joy to your living room...STRIKING and very nicely decorated. It is very classy. Thanks for posting it.
MARGY I have been known to wash my washing machine just like you did tonight!!!LOL!!! So long as you have your clothes for tomorrow the rest can wait...
well, I'm heading to bed shortly....good night and prayers for all!
House is warming up just fine
This is the close up weeekend..staying thru Monday...plumber comes at 1
Hoping to take me little outboard motor in for a tune up...gotta call the guy tomorrow...hope to take it in Monday when I leave and he can take his time on it over the winter
Just doing some small things this weekend...some raking ...caulking...eating oysters...drinking some wine!
Laying on top of the covers to warm up the bed...gonna finish my book tonight
LYNNE before you go, who is your avatar?
Oh and I guess I'll have to keep my eyes peeled going thru Fairfield!
Sounds like a GREAT weekend PAULA. I hope you hear and or see swans too...
this is Mr. Heat Miser....a main character from the animated Christmas show The Year Without a Santa Claus!
and, my hair looks like this in the morning....
what's in Fairfiled, Paula
Congrats Lynne way to go!
My bro is down this weekend
I have run an MT washer before too!
Hoda, it's about 2 brothers. Mr Heat Miser and Mr Snow Miser, who have a fight....
here is HIS crazy song from the show!
Heat Miser
Happy to hear Linda was taking a day off from the hospital and hope she had a relaxing evening
Good Evening Friends
TV has put me 40 comments behind.
I love your Happy News, Lynne!
Your tree is awesome, Lolly!
Hello Dana - Have you been home very
long from your mother's.
This is so funny. You all know I said my daughter is working at Boulder Hospital as a Phlebotomist.
Well her boyfriend needed as physical. So she set it up with one of the doctors she works with. lol after doctor examined her boyfriend he came out and said ok...What blood work do you want to run on him? Doctor asking her lol She said I think he has hyperthyroidism. So I would like to run and she told all she wanted to run. Doctor agreed and she ran blood work. When some things came back she called the doctor and said it is showing this and that. So I would like to now run this on the blood we still have. I am not sure whether the doctor is the doctor or lol my daughter.
No just got in the door and turn on computer. Been with her as much as I could. I did run a few errands that I did not want to take her out of house with me. Then I returned to her house. ty for asking.
I did get to see Margy at the Post Office. Which was one of my errands. Bless her heart she carried in my 2 boxes to the counter. That lady is such a good hearted person. I kept telling her I could do it. But she insisted God love her. Hope she made it to the next place she was going. We did HUG!!! NICE!! (:
Well I am afraid MR> Green Christmas would not like Canada!!!LOL
I am going to get ready for bed - don't think I can make it here at the keyboard
much longer.
Judie - thanks for the night light!
Night Mema Jo sleep well Angels On Your Pillow ((Hugs))
Gotcha, Lolly, on the snow room. Here they are called mud rooms!
Lynne, congrats on your great news!!! You DO deserve it, for sure.
Shirley, have you been listening to the news about the weight belt????? I had never heard of such a thing. What a convoluted story.
So glad to see Linda is going to go out to dinner and relax on the balcony on the beach. She so deserves it. God Be With You Linda.
I was wanting to know from Lynn how bad is it if someone has hyperthyrodism? Not that Lynn has it.
Thank you Dana!
Brushed my teeth and I am ready to
hit those pillows.
God Bless Us one and All
Prayers for all our needs
Hugs to all ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Paula, when would you go through Fairfield? I'm confused!
Margy, don't feel bad! We've all done those kinds of things. Yep---you have a nice clean washer, for sure!!
Tree is lovely, Lolly. Carolyn and Jess are coming tomorrow to get my stuff all out.....it will take me a few days to finish the tree, I'm sure.
Jim I know your not here but prayers for your upcoming surgery on your cataracts.
Dana, Christie is the same way. And phlebs and med techs know more about lab stuff than doctors do the same way pharmacists know more about meds than doctors do.
So good to see Judie pop in---even short visits are good!!!
Heading for the tub. I am feeling groggy.....I think the new med I am on might be causing it!
Sleep well, my dear friends. See you in the morning. Hoping the early birds get a GOOD look at a busy nest!!
Love you all. Prayers and peace.
Remember to reflect and send a healing wish to LYNN by lighting a candle.
LIGHT A CANDLE
NCSuzan I am sorry to hear of you having more pain. Keeping you in prayers glad the dr was able to give some relief.
Sharon prayers about those nodes under your jaw.
ty can't remember now who commented about NX and is in good hands at Va wildlife Center.
Thank you Hoda for the candle link.
I need to catch up on my yahoo mail.
I would also like to see picturs in album of this evening eagle visit.
WOW web site has some very good pictures posted by PattiO. She was on our blog earleir today.
DANAWV Christine is the one who first told us about NX and LYNN posted a link.
Windows on Wildlife website link to see PATTIO'S pictures.
BELLE and SHEP on WOW site pictures by PATTIO
Okay, I have been busy loading just a few of my many pictures from our trip. They are in my Colorado Thanksgiving blog.
Good Evening, Everyone!
Finally making it back here. Got a LOT of grossery shopping done. I was SO habby that Walmart had Honeycrisp apples! OOooh--love them! Also went to Trader Joe's after Kubby got home from work.
WOWEE!! Congratulations to Lynne2! So glad that your efforts at work are appreciated! You certainly deserve the raise, and the extra hours will help, too! I'm thrilled for you!
Lolly, your Christmas tree is just gorgeous! So glad you will be getting some precipitation, too. Hope the drought situation eases a bit.
Gosh, I just realized that I still have the live feed up! Black as can be at the nest, but think I heard a train nearby. Heavens, the cam has been running for over 8 hours! Guess I'd better shut 'er down until morning!
Glad to see Christine here again!
Welcome back--and please don't be a stranger!
Suzan, good to see you, too! Saying prayers for your painful shoulders. Hope you can arrange for physical therapy!
Colorado Thanksgiving
Heading the bed now!
Night all! Sweet dreams!
LOLLY I tried to leave a comment and it would not let me. I loved all of your smiles as you went about your interactions. There were a couple of pictures with Joseph's protecting hands on the younger sibling and cousin. AWESOME. He knows so much already this young Jospeh.GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.
Goodnight one and all.
Sleep well and in God's Grace.
Prayers.
Margy, forgot to mention earlier that I'm thrilled that the two Jameses have a new dog! Love the name Pringles! (Does he like them?) Used to know a Siamese cat who loved potato chips.
Sharon, you definitely get the prize for Best Line of the Day--your "Leg in a Manger" had me ROFLMBO!!! Hope your Dr. appt. about your enlarged glands in your jaw went well. Prayers for that, for sure!
Good night, Hoda! Sleep tight!
Lolly, will check out your pictures in the morning. My eyes don't want to focus well tonight! Can't wait to see them, though!
Well, think I'll call it a day. Making sure the porch light is on. Enabling both security systems. Have said prayers for everyone, and for all creatures, especially for NX--hope she is able to fully recover from her injuries! Sleep well, everyone. God bless, and goodnight! Love all of you! :o]
No Family Friday...Denise had a photo shoot and Karla & Hubby are at the OBX.
Visited with GG a while and she was walking much better.
GOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIENDS
SLEEP WELL
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Lolly the Thanksgiving picturs were great. Seeing everyone enjoying themselves during such a Happy Time Of The Year. ty for sharing HUGS
Beautiful tree, Lolly. I am having a cup of tea and hoping to get back to sleep.
See you later.
Good morning everyone. Thought the labs were going to let me sleep, but Java started whining. Now that they ate they will go back to bed, except Boomer, he will hang with me and try to get some love and attention while everyone else is out of the way!
Lynn2 your news is wonderful. Congratulations on the raise and the praise! It always feels good to be recognized for a job well done!
Nice to hear the heat kick on in the house. All fixed. Yahoo!
Good Morning DanaMo!
This is starting, already, to be the Nightmare of Electronics weekend! I'm on my i-Pad this morning (it was 3G), since the Internet is out and Comcast says the router is now obsolete!! Now I have to go to pick up a newer router before noon today.
Kate talked to Dell in India last night and they say the motherboard on my new laptop is bad so someone will be coming out to replace it!
Other than that -- it's a fabulous morning thanks to the 3G and i-Pad!
Dell was just at my house and replace the mother board on my laptop on Tuesday. It's amazing to see them take the computer down to nothing and back. I can't believe that this little piece of equipment can do so much. We are connected to the world by so little!
Good luck with your electronics today. I know I would be absolutely lost without mine. My warranty was "ship to depot" but by paying and extra 40 bucks they came to my house. It was worth it not to be without my computer for 2 weeks.
DMo, I'm glad you had good results with your computer repairs. Hope mine turns out as well! Definitely worth the money to not be without it for up to 3 weeks! I'd be absolutely lost without it.
Because this is an i-Pad - Flashless - I can't see the nest. Ugh. Will be so glad when they get that fixed. I know they at least have an agreement with Adobe to use FLASH. Finally. Gotta find out how it works and what I need to do.
Good morning all.
Woke up thinking eagles.
LORI so glad you have your i-pad...sorry about the electronic problems. Could this be why your posts were disappearing for a while.
The nest is dark but getting lighter.
DANAMO, I do not suppose there is any hope of you going back to bed...I think of the picture with Monte and the three flying labs...I am glad you hear the heat clicking in at your roost. Problem solved.
I'll go make a cup of tea. I think I am done sleeping.
CFUW Luncheon today and I am a bit nervous that we will have enough of everything in the buffet...I gave the restaurant the numbers but still worry.
I wonder how JUDYE's computer is doing?
Oh Lori, we will try to give you the play by play since you can't see the nest. I was just thinking I need to be prepared for a visit if it is going to be this morning!
Good morning Hoda. No chance I will go back to be, but I suspect I could go and find the 3 Flying Labs and Monte all sound asleep again this Saturday morning just like the picture.
I can see much better already at the nest. Definitley getting lighter in a short period of time.
okay ready...got the screen capture up and the code for caps on the clipboard. Ready, come on eagles...please, pretty please...
Glad you have photo set up ready DANAMO. I wish they will come soon because I am not often up this time of morning.
Timed out at 14:53 mark!!!
OK they can come now...I have a good pot of tea going...yum yum yum...smells good my Yorkshire Tea.
Morning early birds! DanaMo - dogs, gotta love 'em. BRB after I feed mine!
Did you hear theat thud? Someone is on the camera casing.
That not theat!!! LOL
Good morning Sandi and dogs...
Good morning Sandi. You are up early to for a Saturday!
Just turned my sound on, didn't hear the clunk.
After visiting the nest though, I saw how they are up in the tree, out of sight of the camera. They could be there and lurking...they need to get in the nest and "get busy". Was that it Sandi?
I hear birds chirping.
oh I think that was out in my yard. LOL!
Good Morning Sandi and Hoda!
Hoda, I thought the same thing about bad motherboard and disappearing posts, but it's been good for the past five days - don't want to jinx it! :)
I'll be reading the play by play!
Hoda, I think you mentioned about the man being in the nest when they fixed the camera? Was that you? Is there a picture of that? I would love to show my class. Was that even our nest? So many posts I can't keep straight.
That was a clunk...
Good Morning Eagle Pals...
Ha! Our teachers are up early!
Enjoy your week-ends....
Lori - I am so sorry, about your laptop and the electronics....want me to buzz back to your house with the Other Computer - your former, old standby ??
Hoda....Relax, I bet there will be more than enough chow to feed the crowd....
...again the clunk! come on down eagles we ae waiting...
I think the "Deer Leg" is on the right to the edge of the developing nest cup
It's a gorgeous sunrise-approaching morning here in West Virginia
DanaMo, Dogs don't get weekend, plus I'm an early riser by nature. When I recently went into the photos on the E-M group site, there were pics of the guy adjusting the camera at the nest.
gun shots...it is still buck season here in WV, I think this is the last day for it.
Good morning Margy.
Oooooh Yes, Sandi, that would be Nu, our favorite nest guy....
☺ ♥
okay thanks Sandi I will look.
I like the early morning hours too! I am up early all summer. It's so quiet and peaceful. Me time. ☺
More clunks. Yes there are pictures of NU in the nest...in the photo album, in SHARON's ALBUM too I think it is SHARON...I have seen eagle nests in the wild and I am always surprised as to how really large they are. NU was standing in the nest and there was room around him!!!
Morning there DanaMo...
got about 10 projects going on here before leaving for work...
but nest-watching is one of them !!
I will have to look later. I don't want to open another window or miss anything at the nest. This is their usual time to come.
Nu is my size, just a little
over 5-feet tall ... amazing to see him standing in it...
and there are a lot of branches between ground and nest !
Brave fellow !
If/when they show up, I'll clam up and watch....
Thanks LORI I hope you are right about the food. I have not organised this event before so I feel a bit uncertain. Also it is our Christmas Luncheon so I want it to go really well. This week manyof the organisations I belong to are holding their Christmas luncheons...Another one on Tuesday.Choral Recital on the 11th of December too I would like to attend.
Does anyone else do this? When I see that the time is at about 12-13 min., I reload the page on my 2nd screen that I have open so I won't have any down time when the cam freezes. Then I use the 1st screen I opened to read the news, check my emails, chat, whatever.
Found the pics. Thanks everyone. I will show the kids on Monday.
Voila ~
Eagle ~
SANDI I have four screens open plus the webcam. I do not open two web cams but while I am waiting I like to see what is happening on Facebook and my goog
I can't believe a man can stand in the nest without falling through it. Not only is it large, but it must be thick.
EAGLE FLEW IN FROM ABOUT THE 2:00
Belle??
EAGLE ALERT. SHEP.
MOVING FLUFF AND LOOKING AROUND.
DOING A FEW NESTORATIONS MOVING FLUGG (IS THAT WHAT YOU GUYS CALL IT?
COLOUR ON CAM
NO I AM WRONG IT IS NOT SHEP IT IS BELLE.
COLOR ON...LOOKING ALL AROUND
SHE SETTLES IN IN THE NEW CUP AREA.
PRACTICING????
YAY - you guys get to see them in color this morning. Wish JudyE was here to get a video. Hello Judy if you're lurking.
Good Morning Margy!
RESOLUTION IS REALLY AFFECTED BY THE LIGHTING. NOT A CLEAR IMAGE.
SHE GETS UP AND MOVES AROUND TOWARDS SIX AND POOFS FROM NINE
OUT AT THE 7
Short visit. I would like a repeat performance though...
You are right DANAMO the nest is not only large it is thick to support a man's weight and more...amazing structure it is really they are wonderful birds THE EAGLES.
It's hard to get a concept of how large the nest is by looking at it and the eagles on the cam - wow, LOUD gunfire!! For example, when someone posted that what was brought to the nest yesterday was a deer leg, I was like, "WHAT!!??"
WOW!!! that was a LOUD gun shot...close to the nest? id I see something flicker around noon??? small bird perhaps?
I know SANDI ...hard to imagine something as large as a deer's leg being flown up by an eagle and yet it looks so small...
Bella is sitting on my lap dozing and jumps every time a gun fires! That's her payback for waking me! =)
More gun shots, not as close as teh LOUD one...may hunters or one bad one missing? Again!!!
I wonder what Belle and Shep do about the gun shots...?
Good mornin eagle peeps.
Hoda, aren't you 3 hours behind us on the east coast??!! My, it IS REALLY early where you are!!
Too funny Sandi! Poor Bella! LOL
Good morning Thelma, welcome! ☺
Glad you asked that Sandi, I was wondering the same thing.
Yes SANDI I woke up at 3:10 thinking eagles so I got up. I feel rested from my sleep and am enjoying my tea. I am on Pacific Standard time...
3 hours behind the east coast.
Those gun shots are loud ...poor Bella jumping whenever she hears them, not good.
Now, Bella is cocking her head b/c she hears the dog barking on the cam! -)
There are a lot of deer in that area of the nest. I have seen them every time I have visited. Poor deer. although I don't think I've ever seen a buck.
Deer hunting schedule at NCTC:
The dates are as follows:
October 1 and 8 – Archery;
November 26, December 3 and 10 – Shotgun;
December 17 – Muzzleloader;
December 27 - Youth shotgun.
Limited archery hunting will be allowed on most firearms dates. All West Virginia regulations and license requirements apply, and all hunters must have received hunter safety certification. Hunters with disabilities are welcome to participate and accommodations will be made as
needed
The Eagles will be fine.....
Well I'm going to go start some house cleaning. BFN
So, it is actually ON the property, all hunters submit applications...and must be accepted....so I am sure NCTC is very careful.....
so, looks like today might be shotgun season....
also lots of farmland around the area, and those landowners are careful also.....pretty sure about that
farmland and wooded area.....
WE ARE NOT TOO FAR FROM THE SPLIT
KEEP ALERT....
Wanda...
when you arrive on the blog:
Sorry no Jayden Friday night, but very nice to hear GG is walking well !!
Wonder if the hunting noise will keep the eagles away today.
from the NCTC Website:
"NCTC's Director Jay Slack remarked. "As stewards of the land and wildlife on NCTC's 532 acres, we welcome the opportunity to work with our conservation partners in the hunting community and the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources every year on the NCTC Deer Hunt." The Training Center is looking forward to hosting around 120 hunters over the course of the hunt. "In addition to offering a quality hunting experience, the NCTC deer hunt helps manage the deer population, keeping the herd healthy, while allowing a balance with the plant community and other wildlife that depend on this habitat," explains Jay Slack. "With the assistance of the hunting community, NCTC is better able to successfully manage local wildlife and land in the interest of posterity."
Thanks MARGY for the information from NCTC website. I do not know if the eagles will stay away because of the gun shots...I am glad Belle showed up this morning. I like MARGY'S reassurance that the eagles will be fine.
The eagles will be fine but in the past they have appeared to be in great distress. I remember one year it really messed with the egg laying and incubation.
Margy, Intellectually I get it, just like I get it that the deer are a food source for many, and aren't shot for recreation. But I just can't make myself like it. Deer are almost as beautiful as eagles! I moved here from the suburbs of Balto. and when I see a deer standing on the side of the road while I'm driving to school in the AM, I feel so blessed to be living where I am!
T-Bird are they allowed to hunt when it is egg laying and incubation time...I suppose the spring hunt...
Sandi
the nest is probably four or five feet in diameter, at least...and might be close to "weighing" two tons by now !
and the tree it sits in is about 80 feet tall....so the nest itself is probably 60 feet up from the ground....
these are estimates, I am trying to find the actual stats about it....
I could be wrong but I think that is the way I remember it. Before we realized the hunting was going to happen every year, for what appears to be good reasoning, no matter what we thought about it or how we thought it was affecting Belle or Lib.
Have I missed a visit?
T-Bird is exactly right....it was a night when NIGHT hunting was allowed, it was awful....
not sure what the night hunting schedule would be, but Hedgie will enlighten us, she has those facts...
Thanks in Advance, Lynn !!
SPLIT !!!
Geese - now THAT sound, I like! We have a heron that spends a lot of time in the canal that our house is situated on. I LOVE the fact that I can stand on my balcony or open my bedroom drapes and see a heron looking at me!!
I think it might keep the Eagles out of our sight today....not sure what to expect...
hunting ends at sundown, or last light as they call it.....
