Linda said...

Well, thank you Steve for 2 new Friday threads!!

Those stutters happen to you, too!!

Have a wonderful week-end!!

I'll go call over the group now!!

Welcome to our new Thread, Eagle Friends!

Judie said...

Wow! Steve stuttered. Wonder if he got into the gin-soaked KK donuts?

Thank you, Steve for the fresh threads and Linda for the call over.

Shirley, glad Hunter is doing okay.

Jim's posts reminded me to ask about the Catalina Island cams. Tried to use the bookmarked locations for TH and West End I have from last year -- message says they are no longer available. Not successful so far using Google.

Linda said...

Well, Dubby said we can wait until Tuesday to run our errands!!! Yipee for me!

Monday is a holiday and it will be busy out there, so Tuesday is good, since it isn't really a rush.

So I will be watching while I work.....

So far it's just me here on this fresh thread....

Hope I have some company soon.....

Linda said...

Not alone anymore!

Good to see you, Judie....

magpie said...

Wow..we are ready, Steve
Thank You...


we are exhausted, how about you?
The eagles pretty much kept us up late with unusual roosting things and unusual, persistent calling...

Have a nice week-end !! Three- days fory you I hope...

Linda, I think it is you to thank for the call over...not sure when I will get back to the old thread to find out for sure...

xoxo all

magpie said...

Writing this post-Audit synopsis here at work...feels like I'm working on a Term Paper
:(

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

This was posted about Taitlyn Hughes liver recipient.

Nefeterius has notified me to inform those with questions that currently the doctors have found that she has bacteria growing in her blood however this is not uncommon for transplant patients! The doctors are currently giving her strong IV meds and are trying to ID the source of infection. Please pray!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

And something was calling out, maybe a crow, and then flew over the nest. Shep hunkered down as it flew over right under the cam.

paula eagleholic said...

Aha, found ya'll ☺

BWE says we have a pip!

Shep incubating

paula eagleholic said...

Judie, just go to www.iws.org....click on interactive, then nest cams

Mema Jo said...

New Fresh Thread - Thank You!
Linda, thanks for the call over.

Lynn - Daughter is babysitting all 5 at Melissa's home. Hubby is taking Melissa
into the Hospital for the 2 procedures to be done at 1:30pm. You would think after all the prepping that an earlier hr would be more comfort for the patient.
I'll keep you posted when I hear something.......

JudyEddy said...

Jordyn down for a nap on the couch

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Sharon for update.

JudyEddy said...

Hoda said...

Glad HUNTER'S toe is getting better SHIRLEY. COncerned about the robbery and glad you were not there.

LYNN Sympathy cards supply, part of life I suppose.

I am off to a more reasonable day today and will see you all later.

Thanks for the pip update on BWE PAULA.

SHARON, I do not know.

Linda said...

Jo - Thanks for the address posting again.

Prayers for Melissa that they find out what is going on. A diagnosis really puts your mind at ease when you don't know what is going on.

Sandi said...

LINDA, thanks for the call over and thanks to Steve for the new thread!
SHARON, so nice of you to keep all the snow in Bluefield so it doesn't bother our eagles! I'm sure LYNN would be happy to let you do that!

Hoda said...

SHARON here it is:
Bird flies through nest

Video compliments of DeeWerms of Hancock Foundation.

I saw white on that bird...anyone else?

Sandi said...

Didn't think I hit Publish, but guess I did!
LYNNE2, your computer died??? REALLY?? Lately, you are the poster child for, "If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!"
Back to work!

Lolly said...

Hoda, that bird flying by might have had white, certainly hard to tell. This I know for sure, it was a large bird!!

Linda said...

Definitely white between 06 and 08 seconds if you play and pause, but not sure if it was on the wing or tail or exactly where.

I didn't have the sound on the video (if there was any) because the nest sound in another window is on.

Interesting....

Thanks for sharing Hoda. I thought it was a shadow, as I was not staring at the nest when it happened.

paula eagleholic said...

I did Hoda. Was probably Belle.

Lolly said...

Hair is "fixed"...Lynn is styling hers. ☺

KAY, I plan on getting Rx glasses too. I like the no line bifocals as well as the transition lens. Can hardly wait to get them!! In the meantime my Walgreen glasses are doing great.

My old glasses were really bothering me. I had to hold them up to see through the bottom part of the lens. Somehow I acquired multiple fine scratches that ruined the lens, but I had worn them for a lot of years.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

It looked like some white but it didn't sound like an eagle. Thanks for posting that.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

So Hancock calls Shep Smitty? LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Belle has arrived

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, they do Sharon, because he was "smitten" with Belle

paula eagleholic said...

Shep outta there...off the launch pad

Wiggle wiggle, Belle's turn

Judie said...

Paula, thank you for the iws address.

Jo, thank you for posting Tori's information. Thinking of Melissa, of course, and hoping an answer will begin the get well process.

Fly-through was too quick for me to really see anything.

Seems BWE has transitioned to a delivery room.

Lynne2 said...

yep, Sandi, it's fried. Happened last night. It was acting just very slightly weird, but Windows was updating, so I didn't think anything of it. Left the room, heard a terrible noise coming from it...thought something was happening at the nest. Picture was frozen as was everything else. I couldn't even get it to shut down. I had to unplug and take out the battery. Now, when I plug it in and try to start it, the power will come on for about a second or two then weird noise, the off, then on then off it goes as long as the power source is connected. REALLY SUCKS. No filing taxes online, no banking, no bill paying, no job searching for Steve, and the camera is useless as I now have no place to put pictures. Not to mention no more blog, no more eagle nest....I can use the computers at work, but it's usually too busy to do so. Today it's been pretty quiet so far. This was really the last thing I needed right now. It seems that nothing is ever going to go right for us. It's just all getting to be too much to bear.

Lynne2 said...

Sorry, didn't mean to whine. I know you are pulling and praying for us!

stronghunter said...

Lynn, do not worry about "whining." You have every right to vent your frustrations.

I do think the public library will have computers you can use, though I know it is not the same as having your own.

I would be gnashing my teeth and complaining big time if my computer should do such a thing.

Costume Lady said...

Aww, it's Friday and I don't even know if the family is coming over for our visit. Need to check emails and facebook.
I had my first OUTPATIENT THERAPY today. First thing, after an exam, was the bicycle for 10 minutes. I couldn't push the pedal with my new knee all the way around, it hurt so badly! Therapist said, "you can do it"...I said, "no I can't, "yes you can", and so, I DID:)
Seems I may have torn some scar tissue while trying to paint my toenails:(
Then, I did some of the Home Health exercises and then was wrapped in something (maybe an ice pack) and then felt little electrical charges all through the surgery area. If you have ever been bitten by a nest of red ants, that is how it felt...weird. That was suppose to help with the swelling.
I do have an exercise bike, here, and was told to use it for 20 min. every day. They think the tear will heal on it's own (if that is what I did)
Will visit Fitness Center 3 times a week.

Mema Jo said...

Hoda - thanks for the video - Can't be
certain what bird it was.... I just
hope that we have a peaceful night.
I do wish if anyone at NCTC is seeing a
third bird at any time - they will let us know.

Mema Jo said...

Wanda - where is your out patient
being held?

paula eagleholic said...

2:45...Belle out and Shep in

Mema Jo said...

Most Momsters are out side enjoying the day or are inside with their feet up.

I may go to WalMart - then Uno's

I am very thankful that SHEP has a
spot on his feathered head...... ♥

Lolly said...

I just came back to the blog to find my last comment that I was going to leave and walk was still in the comment box. LOL Never did hit the orange publish. Duh!

Have walked, filled the bird feeders, fed the fish and scooped leaves off the bottom of the pond. Now doing a little house cleaning.

Saw Belle leave. She called out quite a bit before getting up and poofing. She was also following something. Thought she was going to twist off her head!! Must have been watching Shep fly in.

Back to work!

Mema Jo said...

Trying to remember to keep an eye on
BWE

Two eagles are in the NBG nest
1 male & 1 female........

stronghunter said...

Computer guy came and worked on my computer and installed more new parts, including a new power cord. It seems to be very happy at the moment.

stronghunter said...

I think I am ready for a nap now.

Judie said...

Hoda, I have to laugh. A reasonable day? For you? I get tired just reading to keep up with you.

Wanda, I had similar exercises after my unscheduled flight. Ankle was wrapped in an ice pack and when I said "no, I can't" was told "yes, you will" and I did. Just like you. Hope you get to have Friday Family Night.

Shep tending the babes to be. Quiet for now.

Mema Jo said...

Judie - you have a long weekend?

Lori O. said...

Good afternoon everyone on this fine Friday! Thanks to Steve for the NEW THREAD, and to LINDA for the call over.

HODA, thanks for the bird-through-the-nest-video. I cannot tell what kind of bird it is, but you can sure hear it approaching. Can anyone i-d that bird call?

LYNNE2, sorry about your computer. I hope a {{big hug}} helps a little. Something good has got to be headed your way!

JO, thanks for Tori's address. Thank heavens one of us is organized!

Still wondering how much snow we're going to get. Weather service isn't committing to anything, but I have heard more snow south and west than north. I'll check around some more & see what I can find out.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

They have issued a winter storm watch for here already.

Lori O. said...

I see for both the nest and Frederick area only an 80% chance of snow on Sunday and 40% Sunday night. Hunker down, Sharon. Does it usually dump on you guys on President's Day Weekend, too? Let me check one of the weather geek sites.

Lori O. said...

Gotta run...the people who want to meet Bobby and LeRoy will be here soon!

paula eagleholic said...

Oh Lori, I didn't know the video had sound...was not an eagle call!

paula eagleholic said...

And on second view it was smaller than an eagle...one of our bird sound experts like Margy could probably ID it

paula eagleholic said...

Shep digging in the bowl and moving fluff

I think we need more fluff....and look at all those sticks in our nest....our nest always looks like such a haphazard mess compared to BWE,...which always looks neat and tidy :)

Mema Jo said...

Enjoy your long weekend in Paradise!

paula eagleholic said...

Good luck Lori,....hope they are adopted!

Sandi said...

Sounds like Belle is back and Shep is ready for a break!

Mema Jo said...

Sandi - Hope your day went well and that your weekend is long - Do you have
Monday off? For some reason Frederick County children had off today.

That is our Shep - he has been there since 2:45 o so..........

Sandi said...

LYNNE, my desktop computer died on Monday. It's a 4-year old Dell running Vista as the OS. The 320GB hard drive is dead. You can get a 320GB hard drive online for about $75. If you know someone who could install it for you (or if Steve could do it), you can have my computer, monitor, speakers, keyboard, and mouse! I would meet you somewhere between your house and mine and hand it all over; I've been trying to figure out what to do with it. It was running just fine before the hard drive died and, since I've been wanting a laptop, I took the hard drive going bad as a sign from God that I should get myself one! Doubtful that God operates that way, but He does constantly provide us with opportunities and this is an opportunity for me to help you out if you'd be interested. I have the disks that came with it so you could reinstall Vista and all of the drivers and utilities that came with it. The only thing I won't part with is the disk for Office 2007 b/c that's what I've installed on my laptop and would want to have the disk in case of an emergency.

If you're not interested, my feelings certainly won't be hurt. But if you are, I have a 3-day weekend and we can make it happen. You would be doing me a favor to take it!

Kay said...

LORI, my fingers are crossed in hopes the kitties are meeting their new owners right about now !

Thanks for the video, HODA. Two thoughts, it was actually Belle shooing the crow off. Or, the white and size of the crow we were hearing was distorted due to fast motion blurring. In any case, it looks like Shep is now settled and all is well. Whew !

SHARON, Taitlyn is on "the" list !

LYNN, so glad Shannon's Papaw is better and hope Charlie is, too. also hope your leg is improving with every passing minute !

JO, thanks for the Mason update. So disgusting he was denied needed treatment at Bryn Mawr. Insurance being contented with status quo is a bummer. We have an ailing system !

LYNNE2, so sorry the computer fried ! Prayers continue for the removal of that black cloud--and it isn't you !

WANDA, I'm feeling your pain ! It's not going to be easy, but I hear tell it's worth it.

Costume Lady said...

JO, my therapy is 1 mile (5 mins)
from Shepherdstown . I like the fact that I only have a 1 mile trip
to travel to new Therapy house.

Sandi said...

I know I heard Belle near the cam and saw it shake when she landed but guess she decided she wasn't ready to sit still yet. And so Shep waits patiently on the eggs!

Sandi said...

Belle in! Shep staying put!

paula eagleholic said...

Belle back

Lori O. said...

Ah, I'm so nervous. Said they would be here between 4 & 4:30, so any minute. The cats are ready and waiting...dogs are put in bedroom. I'm ready!

Mema Jo said...

Low and behold! Lynne's luck is
changing -- Sandi, God is in the driver's seat! Glad you were along for
this ride! ♥

Mema Jo said...

Belle is in nest

Sandi said...

Shep out!

Kay said...

Here is a nice site for kids of all ages. Love the quote at the top left !

Nature Site

Changing of the guard ! Belle takes over.

Mema Jo said...

4:21m Belle in nest to incubate eggs

Mema Jo said...

Jo is going to dinner

BBILW

Sandi said...

LORI, how could they NOT take the kitties?? Good luck!

Kay said...

LYNNE2, please come back on ! SANDI has a wonderful surprise for you !

hedgie said...

I am back and settled in and caught up. A couple of phone calls made, and waiting to hear from my girls. Think I need to put my feet up, too......so far, so good on the swollen foot/leg......but will sure be glad to get these hose off tonight!!
I stopped at BK and got a bacon cheeseburger for a very late lunch---it sure tasted good! Got rid of a big bag of books (bank is a collection site for the Newspapers in Education book drive; they do two big book sales a year and then provide newspapers to all classes at all schools).
Got 2 greeting cards for FREE thanks to my little punch card!

Lolly said...

I am feeling so good right now.♥♥♥ I have my mail ready to go out tomorrow!!☺♥♥ I LOVE this group!!!!!

hedgie said...

FOOD delivery!!!!!! Good Shep!

paula eagleholic said...

Big calling out...and Shep has arrived with a fish!

Belle swallowed it whole!!

Lolly said...

Shep just flew in with a small fish. Belle downed it in no time at all!

paula eagleholic said...

She jumped up on the back of the nest where he landed...snatched it from him, and gulped it down whole!

Shep took off and Belle is getting back on the eggs.

Lolly said...

She was hungry!

Kay said...

She must not have done any hunting before the first or second switches today ! Wow ! Hope Shep has filled his gullet, too. He's spent a lot of time on the eggs in the last 24 hours !

LORI, I'm on pins and needles. Hope the kitties have been adopted !

CarolAnne said...

That reminds me - I'm hungry too. Way to much fresh air & exercise today.

Hmmm . . . .maybe talk Bubby into "fish" someplace tonight.

DanaMo said...

Let Happy Hour begin! It's a 3 day weekend!! YIPEE!

hedgie said...

Wow, had a real e-mail blitz! NOW going to put my feet up.

Don't know what happened to the food---didn't see Belle eat it...maybe Shep took it back. Maybe it wasn't her highnesse's preference!

Shirley, "your" robbery was just on the news!

hedgie said...

WHOO HOO, Lolly!!!!!! Ain't love grand????

CarolAnne said...

DanaMo - In some European countries like the Netherlands, the price of an alcoholic drink is regulated, and selling them at half price is prohibited. During happy hour, a customer gets DOUBLE the amount of drinks instead.

Wanna move??? :o)

Kay said...

LYNN, LOL, she quite literally swallowed it whole ! ♫♫ The Lady is a Tramp ! ♪♫♪

Kay said...

Haven't seen LYNNE2 come back since SANDI offered her a computer. Does anyone know how to reach her by phone ?

paula eagleholic said...

Lynn, read back! She swallowed it whole...I was lucky enough to see it, but it was too quick for pics or video.

I am heading home, and then to Paradise for the weekend! Staying at the neighbors house...will check in later.

Love you guys ☺♥

DanaMo said...

Happy Hour is the Amstel in my refrigerator! ☺

Hoda said...

Well I see no French was used by anyone today and therefore no need to Pardon Anyone's French???
Great idea SANDI about the computer switch. I hope it works for LYNNE...

Thank yoiu for the reports on the eagles...glad food was brought to Miss Belle and she accepted it in one gulp!!!

PAULA safe trip to Paradise. Are yo staying in your own house this time...I bet NICK will be very happy to go back and explore his beach...do let us know about eagles and other birds and wild life you see...check in when you get there please.

JUDIE you brought me a big smile...I have no idea how I worked!!! Now more than two activities a day and it becomes unreasonable...yesterday I had five things and it was way too much...yet at work I used to go in at six in the morning and sometimes came back home at eight or nine at night!!!Who did that???I could not do it now...

Lynne2 said...

Sandi, are you still here? I got the post (thanks Lori!) about the computer. Neither Steve or I have any tech saavy at all and woulnd't be able to put in a hard drive. Other things come to mind that I don't "get" like we have wireless internet at the house, so the computer would need to be able to do wireless. I guess. I will check around for a hard drive (not going to be in the budget any time soon though) and in the mean time ask my brother (lives in Leesburg) if he can installl one. If so, I'd be happy to take it later on if you still have it!

Hoda said...

LYNN Had her cheeseburger and how wonderful is that!!! Good on you LYNN...next on the list is the steak...

Hoda said...

Thanks PAULA you answered my question before I posted it...Have a GREAT weekend.

stronghunter said...

Maybe I will get to see news at some point. Hunter is playing a video game right now.

Kathryn said she saw a blurb about it somewhere.

There was a pretty good crowd in Starbucks when I was there.

Kathryn and Hunter are going out this evening.

CarolAnne said...

Wishing all a great evening & weekend. We were to be headed to the cottage thru Monday, but after a morning of wood cutting & hauling here @ home, Bubby has ended up in bed with a sick headache.

(Maybe he just didn't want to take me out for fish dinner) Hmmmm

Hoping for a quiet eagle night - no all nighter for you eagle watchers.

Hugs to you all!

CarolAnne said...

Prayers & congratulations to our former Archbishop Timothy Dolan as he is elevated to Cardinal!

DanaMo said...

We had a red Friday at school for Archbishop O'Brien from Archdiocese of Baltimore who was also elevated to Cardinal.

Lynne2 said...

Looks like, at this particular time in weather forecasting, the potential for significant snow is INCREASING a bit....please keep your eyes on the weather this weekend especially if traveling!

Kay said...

What kind of call is that at the nest ? Belle is looking puzzled, too.

DanaMo said...

I won't believe it until I see it Lynne!

Lynne2 said...

well, the time has come for me to say goodbye for the weekend. I will miss you all! Stay safe, prayers for all!

Sandi said...

LYNNE2, My son showed me the 2 screws to take the side cover off the computer case and then the 4 screws to take the hard drive out. It literally unplugs and the new one plugs back in. Trust me, ANYONE could do it!! And we have high speed wireless internet service so I'm sure the computer would work just fine for you. I'll hold onto it until we can figure out a way for me to get it to you!

Kay said...

Time to think about dinner, news, Jeopardy and PBS Friday night line up. Have my prayer list compiled. Have a good, restful night with sweet, sweet, dreams ! I♥U !

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Oh, my, what is that screaming ????

Sandi said...

What is that noise at the nest??????? Sounds like screaming!! It has Bella barking!

Lori O. said...

What the heck is making those horrid sounds at the nest?

Lynne2 said...

that would be awesome Sandi! Thanks!

OK, time to go. Hate to leave!

Love you all!

FuzzleMT said...

EXACTLY - what was that?

Linda said...

What in the world is that noise??

Lynne2 said...

I Can't LEAVE

Lori O. said...

Sounds like someone is watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre or some other horror movie!

Kay said...

Wonder if LYNNE2 could hear those noises. She's an expert at bird calls, if that's what it was.

Sandi said...

I don't know of any animal that makes a sound like that! Wow!

Lynne2 said...

UGH.....I don't know either.

&#^(%)_)#@*()

LOL!

Kay said...

Oh, LYNNE, I can't leave either. You don't recognize that sound ?

Lynne2 said...

couldn't hear too well, maybe a fox. Google Fox Screams

bye....

DanaMo said...

hmm...I missed the sound! Had it turned off.

Kay said...

LORI, we're on the edge of our seats. Did they show up for the kitties ?

Lynne2 said...

email me highlights this weekend, I'll come in a little early and read them. easier than trying to read hundreds of posts! Lynn has my number and will call if anything (God forbid) REALLY dramatic happens.

Sandi said...

I think LYNNE2 is right. I Googled fox screams and it sounds like what we were hearing at the nest! So at least it's 85 feet away from the eagles!!

JudyEddy said...

I was going to ask the same thing about the scream of sort from the nest but Internet not responding had to restart it

Hoda said...

Here is the video of Shep bringing in supper...Remember he is called Smitty at the Hancock foundation...Video Compliments of DeeWermsShep brings a fish to Belle

Kay said...

LYNNE may be right though the fox scream has a higher squealy pitch to it, at least on the youtube I got when googling. Wish WANDA were here--maybe she hears fox cries now and then.

Bye, LYNNE, hope you have a wonderful weekend, but we'll sure be missing you !

Lori O. said...

Yes, yes, yes! They wan Bobby and LeRoy!!!

Now, I'm just waiting for the Animal Welfare League to call and let me know what time they can fill out the paperwork in the morning so I can get the two kitties over them for their new FOREVER FAMILY! What a great opportunity for them. The family has two little boys, 8 and 11 and they loved Bobby and LeRoy!

Linda said...

Yay, LORI!!

So happy Bobby and LeRoy will be able to go together to a new loving home!!!

You must be so happy for them, though I know you will miss them, too!!

DanaMo said...

wow someone is going to sleep early!

Kay said...

Hurray ! So happy with your news, LORI. Two kittens for two boys, how sweet it is !

Lolly said...

Yea, Lori!! That is so fantastic about the kitties.

Jack and I ran to the grossery store and I missed the scream.

♪♫♪ Yes, Lynn...love is in the air!♪♫♪♫ I can not stop smiling!

Look at Belle....she is already tucked. Plumb worn out!

Sandi said...

YAY Lori!! Yay Bobby and Leroy!!

Lolly said...

Jo, meant to thank you for Tori's address. Will be getting her a card next week to have ready to mail.

Something Hurting in The Area

Video compliments of DeeWerms of Hancock Foundation

JudyEddy said...

I posted the video on our fan page and on Eagle Addict, Friends of Ponca and Friends of WVCE cam and the Great backyard bird count maybe someone can figure out what it was if we get the video out there I let her know also that I posted it

JudyEddy said...

for some reason everyone avatar has a red x on it I am going to run a Norton scan really odd

JudyEddy said...

and now they come back for a sec only some have red x's odd to say the least OH ITs LINDA and HODA and Danamo and LORI with the red x ODD not all huh I wonder what the heck is up I will return after it is done Hope I hear from someone that may know what the scream was its horrific to listen to gives me shivers

JudyEddy said...

HODA I just posted it also and on facebook the 4 pages I mentioned earlier maybe someone can identify it

Lori O. said...

Everyone has red X's instead of avatars on mine.

Lori O. said...

posted and now everyone has avatars again. Weird night!

JudyEddy said...

I check the box to shut puter down after scan so I am logging off now let it do its thing Odd how some avatars are not appearing for me Maybe Norton can fix it huh

Lolly said...

Lolly said...

Interesting, no red x's here!

JudyEddy said...

Lori O. said...

So is it Belle in the nest for the night?

Mema Jo said...

I have been back for awhile -
Hurray for Bobby and Leroy finding a new forever home!

Got tuck in my emails
and I need to read back a few......

magpie said...

Hallelujah Lori, for Bobby and LeRoy..and for the for the adopting family...


The bird sound much earlier during which we think Belle buzzed cross Shep on the nest, am pretty sure, it was a Red-shouldered Hawk.... I have heard them before and seen one or the other Eagle go after it.
I hear these Hawks at Swinging Bridge....
Going to listen to "banshee" next, we have heard foxes screaming there before, but usually much much later in the evening

Good Evening Eagle Pals !
I have much catch-up reading to do!
xoxo ♥

magpie said...

I hae a TON of emails to go through...and I see Red X's also

that will probably straighten out soon

magpie said...

aah avatars are back, after I checked Hoda's link on Something Hurting in the Area...
JudyE, your link did not open for me.

hard to tell what that is...I think Fox is a pretty good guess

Jo: How is the Granddaughter ??

Please give us a quiet night!

magpie said...

I guess it could be a bear cub....I would think Steve and the NCTC folks could give us some information on that....
Bears are hard to miss !
And they would surely want to be aware, with the Day Care on the Campus...
hmmmmmmm.....

magpie said...

Touching about Jordyn, JudyE...
Sometimes it can be hard when a child is So Crazy About You, or one of us, for that matter...

magpie said...

I haven't been to the end of the last Thread...guess I better go check the news on there next

(( Evening Hugs ♥ ))

magpie said...

(( Hugs in the Silence for you Lynne...xoxox ♥ ))

magpie said...

OH by the way, DanaMo
I did use a "word" this morning once Belle arrived in the nest
LOL - It was spoken with relief, not as a curse ☺ !


Congratulations to the New Cardinals in CarolAnne's and DanaMo's dioceses....a wonderful term for the Clergy ☺

JudyEddy said...

Scott Turnmeyer on facebook also say maybe a distress black bear cub here is a link he posted on fb

Yes LORI...it is Belle in the nest tonight.

Nest Update BWE

02/17/12:
The small hole we saw now looks like a line across the egg.

Also, it appears that our father brought the mother a rabbit dinner, which would also indicate that a chick is coming.

Lori O. said...

Thank you, HODA...I couldn't tell and didn't remember reading who was where. Glad you had a calmer day! ((Big Virtual Hug)) Love this group!

magpie said...

Jo
thanks! And I see YOU had a post on old thread about the BWE Egg pip, I could not do any nest watching today at work...

NatureNut said...

Good Evening Eagle Buds. Looked earlier to see who was minding the Egglets, & it's just too dark to tell.
Had a 9 hour work day and then the Stoopid fax machine wouldn't send my time sheet to Div. office!!AARRGGHH
Gotta eat ☺

magpie said...

I would say, maybe one of you could send that link to the Banshee at the nest to Steve....
not everyone, one would do....it it WOULD be a Bear cub, he might want to know about it.
I think Fox is much more likely...
But Scott's link was very interesting also

magpie said...

I don't think he would need any other links though, am sure he knows what foxes sound like.....

just an idea....

magpie said...

Certainly glad to read that things were relatively calm at the nest today, and certainly quiet and more back to normal tonight!

JudyEddy said...

SeEtta Moss I couldn't hear the sounds very well but could be a Barn Owl. Click on http://www.owlpages.com/sounds/Tyto-alba-3.mp3 to listen to one of the 'screams' that this species makes.alba

ANOTHER RESPONSE SHE THINS A OWL


she thing barn owl

magpie said...

Loretta, Belle is on the nest now.

magpie said...

don't mean to be repetitious, but I think the bird earlier, on the other video link that was posted...was Red-Shouldered Hawk.
And I think Belle chased it away...
without hesitation !

I've Magpie-ed enough now...
See you all Later...

xoxox ♥

magpie said...

forgot:
Judy E...
a co-worker's husband had his income taxes stolen last year, social security identity theft...the scammer was from Florida...
same person tried it again this year...
luckily, they FINALLY got their refund with interest, today, and this year's is going to be okay also.

hedgie said...

Well, caught up with you on this page!
I think it could very possibly be either a bobcat or raccoon that is injured. I've heard both here after fights.

Yes, I have Lynne's # if anything dramatic happens.

Lori, great news on the kitties!! Sounds like a great new furever home for them as long as the boys know how to handle them and treat them gently!!! Congrats---hope it all works out.

Hoda....so glad you took it a little easier today. Yesterday was just way too much. Bet you slept like a rock last night!

Just had a donut for dinner.....and I bet there might be another one for dessert later!!

Jeopardy teacher's were a bit smarter tonight. Whew!!

Hoda said...

Celebs Barn Owl sounded similar JUDYE. Thanks for the link...
I think it was PAULA who mentionedthe possibility of last night's disturbances being an owl too???

hedgie said...

Congratulations to the new Cardinals. Wonderful honorific!

DMo--how are you feeling tonight? Better, I hope!

That's awful about the taxes, Margy. Reminds me that I keep forgetting to ask Bill if he ever got his mother's refund from last year, and if IRS let him know if the imposter was caught!

Mema Jo said...

BWE closes at 11:00 pm
Would be great to get the Bobble Head
before!

JudyEddy said...

Watching Greys before Fringe comes on them will probably watch PP don't have to get up earlier on vacation

JudyEddy said...

JudyEddy said...

Hoda said...

What was that sound??? It sounded like wings flapping to me??? Belle is up and looking around facing seven...off the cup and I could see the two eggs and now is digging in the cup, turned to face noon and is settling back in again? No she turned to now face eleven.She is sitting on the cup

Mema Jo said...

My live feed has frozen - going to
reboot...........ok now

I see Belle's white head moving

Mema Jo said...

Hoda - it looks as though Belle's head is tucked under her wing...

Sandi said...

Hoda, I heard that sound as well - like flapping. Maybe Shep is in the tree near the cam?

hedgie said...

Time for A Gifted Man and then date night with Tom!!
BBL!

Hoda said...

Yes JO, I see Belle is tucked in and has been since shortly before your post.
I am glad you heard it too SANDI...

magpie said...

I was out of the room and missed any sounds...
but I was just about to post before reading the last few...that it sure is quiet at the nest tonight, hope it remains that way

Agree with you Jo,
before "2300" would be nice...and if not, bet we see a BWE bobble head early in the morning...

THIS bird is going to SPLIT before the Famous Dead-end 200 Split.

Prayers for Wellness and all good things that we all need...

Good Night, Precious Pals

God Bless This Nest, and
