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.
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!
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.......
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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!
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.
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!
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!
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 !
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.
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...
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!
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.
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!
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!
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 !
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.
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
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 !
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!
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
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
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
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 ♥
I am heading to the TV my neck is killing me with the rain all day and uploading video and pictures to Jordyn dance school Three FB pages
Funny story about Jordyn you know how a child is use to a routine well on the way home driving down the street she always sees Carl's van and yells in delight Daddy's home Daddy cooking dinner Well tonight he had a call and she didn't see his van and said OH NO DADDYS not home and daddy not cooking dinner we can't eat now Funny kid
Also last week I ate dinner Fri nite that really threw her for a loop because on Thur is my dinner nite with the and she know she comes to my house will Fri as I was leaving and she said see you tomorrow and Angie said no its Sat and she was staying with Mommy and Daddy well she was so distraught you would have thought she was going to break down so sad but she finally understood it and last nite she was so sad when I left Angies she she just cried for me and though maybe she wouldn't see me I guess That's what happens when you mess up their structure routine I guess She kept saying I sad I sad Ok now its time to go to the TV that is calling me Later I will check back in after Norton does it thing which I alread started
I've read your remarks about The Scream! Thankful I wasn't sitting here! I did listen to the tape! I sure hope it is a ground noise Just wondering "why so much clunking up in the attic"..... Please give us a quiet night!
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.....
I am finishing uploading more video on the Sunrise Staff dance page I did three earlier today and now 6 more Angie gets one day a week free with us keeping up on the facebook page Bartering is good
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 ☺
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
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 www.owlpages.com .6 minutes ago · LikeUnlike.
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 !
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.
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!!
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???
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!
WOW MARGY small world huh and the IRS has admitted it is to online filing eelier this month that there system needs work and its all in Fl it seems and there also a scam at restaurants to where they are downloading viruses in the puter and stealing Credit card Scary world out there
YEAH LORI great news about the kittens Jordyn is so cute with the cats now She is always asking where they are and she says Benny and Jet so cute she is always looking for them she isn't scared like she was in the beginning she still doesn't want to share her toys with them LOL like bead I was showing her how to make them play and she didn't want to share her beads but yet she will with a child funny huh
odd I tried downloading to face book in order but I guess its the length that puts them there the shorter ones are done and the longer are still working on I did all 6 at the same time just opened up 6 IE ok bye again
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
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 God Bless Us, Every One xoxox ♥
Wow, I have spent more time on email today than I have on here. That is NOT the ordinary! Still feeling so great tonight. Time for yet another group ((((hug)))♥
I am very happy to have a peaceful night. Going to watch the second hour of AI that I missed last night.
LOLLY I am in total agreement with you I feel great this is the best group of momster and dadster in the hole wide world I am sure we all agree SHHH don't tell anyone LOL as if we don't know that alredy I still have two video uploading of Jordyns dance class
The cats are being silly tonight keep getting in my kitchen cabinets I need to go by a scratching pole tomorrow for them They seem to have taken to my bamboo desk That is a no no I don't think it can hurt it being it bamboo but don't want to risk it I will just go get them a pole and some more balls they keep misplacing them can't seem to find 4 balls now

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!
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.
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.....
♥
Not alone anymore!
Good to see you, Judie....
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
Writing this post-Audit synopsis here at work...feels like I'm working on a Term Paper

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.
Aha, found ya'll ☺
BWE says we have a pip!
Shep incubating
Judie, just go to www.iws.org....click on interactive, then nest cams
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.......
Jordyn down for a nap on the couch
Thanks Sharon for update.

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.
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.
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!
SHARON here it is:
Bird flies through nest
Video compliments of DeeWerms of Hancock Foundation.
I saw white on that bird...anyone else?
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!
Hoda, that bird flying by might have had white, certainly hard to tell. This I know for sure, it was a large bird!!
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.
I did Hoda. Was probably Belle.
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.
It looked like some white but it didn't sound like an eagle. Thanks for posting that.
So Hancock calls Shep Smitty? LOL
Belle has arrived
Yes, they do Sharon, because he was "smitten" with Belle
Shep outta there...off the launch pad
Wiggle wiggle, Belle's turn
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.
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.
Sorry, didn't mean to whine. I know you are pulling and praying for us!
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.
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.
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.
Wanda - where is your out patient
being held?
2:45...Belle out and Shep in
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...... ♥
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!
Trying to remember to keep an eye on
BWE
Two eagles are in the NBG nest
1 male & 1 female........
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.
I think I am ready for a nap now.
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.
Judie - you have a long weekend?
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.
They have issued a winter storm watch for here already.
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.
Gotta run...the people who want to meet Bobby and LeRoy will be here soon!
Oh Lori, I didn't know the video had sound...was not an eagle call!
And on second view it was smaller than an eagle...one of our bird sound experts like Margy could probably ID it
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 :)
Enjoy your long weekend in Paradise!
Good luck Lori,....hope they are adopted!
Sounds like Belle is back and Shep is ready for a break!
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..........
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!
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.
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.
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!
Belle in! Shep staying put!
Belle back
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!
Low and behold! Lynne's luck is
changing -- Sandi, God is in the driver's seat! Glad you were along for
this ride! ♥
Belle is in nest
Shep out!
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.
4:21m Belle in nest to incubate eggs
Jo is going to dinner
BBILW
LORI, how could they NOT take the kitties?? Good luck!
LYNNE2, please come back on ! SANDI has a wonderful surprise for you !
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!
I am feeling so good right now.♥♥♥ I have my mail ready to go out tomorrow!!☺♥♥ I LOVE this group!!!!!
FOOD delivery!!!!!! Good Shep!
Big calling out...and Shep has arrived with a fish!
Belle swallowed it whole!!
Shep just flew in with a small fish. Belle downed it in no time at all!
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.
She was hungry!
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 !
That reminds me - I'm hungry too. Way to much fresh air & exercise today.
Hmmm . . . .maybe talk Bubby into "fish" someplace tonight.
Let Happy Hour begin! It's a 3 day weekend!! YIPEE!
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!
WHOO HOO, Lolly!!!!!! Ain't love grand????
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)
LYNN, LOL, she quite literally swallowed it whole ! ♫♫ The Lady is a Tramp ! ♪♫♪
Haven't seen LYNNE2 come back since SANDI offered her a computer. Does anyone know how to reach her by phone ?
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 ☺♥
Happy Hour is the Amstel in my refrigerator! ☺
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...
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!
LYNN Had her cheeseburger and how wonderful is that!!! Good on you LYNN...next on the list is the steak...
Thanks PAULA you answered my question before I posted it...Have a GREAT weekend.
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.
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!
Prayers & congratulations to our former Archbishop Timothy Dolan as he is elevated to Cardinal!
We had a red Friday at school for Archbishop O'Brien from Archdiocese of Baltimore who was also elevated to Cardinal.
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!
What kind of call is that at the nest ? Belle is looking puzzled, too.
I won't believe it until I see it Lynne!
well, the time has come for me to say goodbye for the weekend. I will miss you all! Stay safe, prayers for all!
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!
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 ????
What is that noise at the nest??????? Sounds like screaming!! It has Bella barking!
What the heck is making those horrid sounds at the nest?
that would be awesome Sandi! Thanks!
OK, time to go. Hate to leave!
Love you all!
EXACTLY - what was that?
What in the world is that noise??
I Can't LEAVE
Sounds like someone is watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre or some other horror movie!
Wonder if LYNNE2 could hear those noises. She's an expert at bird calls, if that's what it was.
I don't know of any animal that makes a sound like that! Wow!
UGH.....I don't know either.
&#^(%)_)#@*()
LOL!
Oh, LYNNE, I can't leave either. You don't recognize that sound ?
couldn't hear too well, maybe a fox. Google Fox Screams
bye....
hmm...I missed the sound! Had it turned off.
LORI, we're on the edge of our seats. Did they show up for the kitties ?
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.
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!!
I was going to ask the same thing about the scream of sort from the nest but Internet not responding had to restart it
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
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 !
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!
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!!
wow someone is going to sleep early!
Hurray ! So happy with your news, LORI. Two kittens for two boys, how sweet it is !
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!
YAY Lori!! Yay Bobby and Leroy!!
Jo, meant to thank you for Tori's address. Will be getting her a card next week to have ready to mail.
LOLLY this is what it sounded like
Something Hurting in The Area
Video compliments of DeeWerms of Hancock Foundation
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
for some reason everyone avatar has a red x on it I am going to run a Norton scan really odd
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
HODA I just posted it also and on facebook the 4 pages I mentioned earlier maybe someone can identify it
Everyone has red X's instead of avatars on mine.
posted and now everyone has avatars again. Weird night!
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
Thanks, Hoda! Wild!
oH LORI you have the same issue I am so glad it is not me then I will uncheck the box
Interesting, no red x's here!
maybe its a google thing huh I
So is it Belle in the nest for the night?
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......
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 ♥
I hae a TON of emails to go through...and I see Red X's also
that will probably straighten out soon
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 ??
I am heading to the TV my neck is killing me with the rain all day and uploading video and pictures to Jordyn dance school Three FB pages
Funny story about Jordyn you know how a child is use to a routine well on the way home driving down the street she always sees Carl's van and yells in delight Daddy's home Daddy cooking dinner Well tonight he had a call and she didn't see his van and said OH NO DADDYS not home and daddy not cooking dinner we can't eat now Funny kid
Also last week I ate dinner Fri nite that really threw her for a loop because on Thur is my dinner nite with the and she know she comes to my house will Fri as I was leaving and she said see you tomorrow and Angie said no its Sat and she was staying with Mommy and Daddy well she was so distraught you would have thought she was going to break down so sad but she finally understood it and last nite she was so sad when I left Angies she she just cried for me and though maybe she wouldn't see me I guess That's what happens when you mess up their structure routine I guess She kept saying I sad I sad Ok now its time to go to the TV that is calling me Later I will check back in after Norton does it thing which I alread started
19 items already Norton has found COOKIES COOKIES so far
let me see, does every post bring back the avatars...I'll know in a few seconds...
yes, it does for me
Wonky !!!
Awesome pictures and news from BWE, thanks to Paula for the initial alert !
xo
HOLLY on facebook says maybe a bear cub she posted it on the WVEC page facebook
Lolly, you best get the mail tomorrow because on Monday there won't be any.
So step it up! ♥
I've read your remarks about
The Scream! Thankful I wasn't sitting here! I did listen to the tape!
I sure hope it is a ground noise
Just wondering "why so much clunking
up in the attic".....
Please give us a quiet night!
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.....
Touching about Jordyn, JudyE...
Sometimes it can be hard when a child is So Crazy About You, or one of us, for that matter...
♥
I haven't been to the end of the last Thread...guess I better go check the news on there next
xoxox bbl
(( Evening Hugs ♥ ))
sure going to be missing Lynne tonight, have read about the demise of her computer :(
(( Hugs in the Silence for you Lynne...xoxox ♥ ))
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 ☺
Scott Turnmeyer on facebook also say maybe a distress black bear cub here is a link he posted on fb
Distress cub
Venus and Jupiter are ootching closer and closer together...when new crescent baby Moon appears in maybe a week ? They are going to be a Hot Trio !
Susie Kelley commented on your link.

GETTING LOTS OF RESPONSES
HEY ALL MY AVATARS ARE BACK ALSO YEAH
I am finishing uploading more video on the Sunrise Staff dance page I did three earlier today and now 6 more Angie gets one day a week free with us keeping up on the facebook page Bartering is good
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.
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!
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...
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 ☺
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
I don't think he would need any other links though, am sure he knows what foxes sound like.....
just an idea....
Certainly glad to read that things were relatively calm at the nest today, and certainly quiet and more back to normal tonight!
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
Loretta, Belle is on the nest now.
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 ♥
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.
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!!
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???
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!
BWE closes at 11:00 pm
Would be great to get the Bobble Head
before!
Watching Greys before Fringe comes on them will probably watch PP don't have to get up earlier on vacation
WOW MARGY small world huh and the IRS has admitted it is to online filing eelier this month that there system needs work and its all in Fl it seems and there also a scam at restaurants to where they are downloading viruses in the puter and stealing Credit card Scary world out there
YEAH LORI great news about the kittens Jordyn is so cute with the cats now She is always asking where they are and she says Benny and Jet so cute she is always looking for them she isn't scared like she was in the beginning she still doesn't want to share her toys with them LOL like bead I was showing her how to make them play and she didn't want to share her beads but yet she will with a child funny huh
back to TV
3 movies are done 3 to go
odd I tried downloading to face book in order but I guess its the length that puts them there the shorter ones are done and the longer are still working on I did all 6 at the same time just opened up 6 IE ok bye again
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
My live feed has frozen - going to
reboot...........ok now
I see Belle's white head moving
Hoda - it looks as though Belle's head is tucked under her wing...
Hoda, I heard that sound as well - like flapping. Maybe Shep is in the tree near the cam?
Time for A Gifted Man and then date night with Tom!!
BBL!
Yes JO, I see Belle is tucked in and has been since shortly before your post.
I am glad you heard it too SANDI...
8 more posts and it is a
S P L I T
Don't get lost
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
God Bless Us, Every One
