Kay said...

Thanks, LOLLY ! This too shall pass.

wvgal_dana said...

For Sharon
Naybe my dress for the wedding

wvgal_dana said...

Lynn told us about this boy from Martinsburg that a lot of us I believe last week watched American Idol to see him. We watched but never got to see him sing but he was put through to Hollywood. I think Lynn's girls know him and his parents. Well from the front of todays newspaper
Christian Lopez his picture is on the right he is sitting holding his guitar

hedgie said...

Kay, sorry you are in such discomfort. :( Can't wait to hear what the MRI shows.

Puter feels hot....going to shut 'er down for awhile. Cam has been doing SO well.....hope I don't have problems with it when I come back on.

wvgal_dana said...

Lynn do you have a "cooling fam" under your laptop???

wvgal_dana said...

"fan"

wvgal_dana said...

@Lolly you have to have everything all browsers shut down to download adobe flash player. Did you do it that way and then reboot?

WV sUSAn said...

All right, Belle is still standing and looking around, a little preening. Maybe back on the egg soon.

WV sUSAn said...

Thanks for the egg count, Paula.

Lolly said...

/

Lolly said...

Yes, Dana, did all that.

However, I just did a re-install and now have the sound. In the meantime my new battery for my laptop has arrived and is charging. Wahoooo! Just as I start adjusting to this one, I switch back tomorrow. LOL

WV sUSAn said...

Belle is calling again... and watching all around.

WV sUSAn said...

Belle still standing and watching.

PattiO said...

When was the last time Shep was at the nest?

paula eagleholic said...

He was there this morning PattiO...left around 11 or so...information is on this thread around that time.

stronghunter said...

More calls from Belle.

WV sUSAn said...

Belle alarm calling. No rest for the weary. Intruder on nest.

Linda said...

Well look who finally shows up with FOOD

paula eagleholic said...

Shep on the nest, they are both really calling out.

WV sUSAn said...

Wrong. Shep in nest. Both calling loudly.

stronghunter said...

Shep has arrived. He is calling too. They are very agitated.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Wow, they are raising you know what. He had a bite of something and she took it.

DanaMo said...

Oh she is royally chewing him out. "What took you so long!! It's your turn!! Take over, I've been at this all day!!"

LOL!!

paula eagleholic said...

Off went Belle....

DanaMo said...

That's almost comical!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

And I don't see the egg.

Linda said...

Both in the nest and screeching. Something must be flying around up there causing trouble.

Poof Belle

WV sUSAn said...

Belle flew off. Shep still there.

paula eagleholic said...

Took off like a shot from the 11 spot....Now Shep calling out,.,..clunk in the tree

DanaMo said...

I know there were times that I ran out of the house like that! With 4 kids under 7!

Kay said...

LINDA, food ? Where ?

Hoda said...

Very good to see SHEP and gracious me is she not pleased our Miss BELLE. She just took off...I think she left enough instructions!!! LOL

stronghunter said...

Belle took off. Still lots of agitated calling.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Love lots of flugg!

WV sUSAn said...

Egg is deep in the flugg out of sight.

Sandi said...

Just got home from school and have been trying to catch up while watching. I could swear that, just after Shep landed, when both were vocalizing, that I heard wings flapping! Something else is nearby!

DanaMo said...

Yes, I saw he had something and she took it from him.
The egg is just covered. I think I see alittle of the white.

paula eagleholic said...

Think the calls are from Belle in the attic

Linda said...

Did anyone see Bell take a piece of fish or something from Shep and snarf it down right when he returned??

I don't see if he left anything or just brought a little something in his mouth and she took it.

stronghunter said...

Yes, I think the egg is buried under lots of fluff.

stronghunter said...

Yes, I think the egg is buried under lots of fluff.

PattiO said...

Well I switched to a different cam and missed his arrival. The egg is getting lost in all that fluff!

Linda said...

Kay - I don't see anything in the nest, but I think he had something in his mouth and Belle snatched and snarfed it right away.

DanaMo saw it, right???

WV sUSAn said...

DanaMo, that is funnn-ny!

stronghunter said...

Much calling. Must be from Belle in the attic.

Linda said...

Sounds like Belle is still calling from afar or above....

WV sUSAn said...

Shep still at 6 and Belle screeching.

Linda said...

Or is that Shep calling?

Hoda said...

I saw the bite of something that was there when he arrived and right away beaked..KAY.

The egg cup is so deep that is why we can not see the egg SHARON Miss Belle's doing.

WV sUSAn said...

Shep still on the nest at 6 and yelling.

Linda said...

Guess they both are doing their share of calling....

That was definitely just Shep.

WV sUSAn said...

Belle alarm calling from the attic.

Kay said...

Thanks Buds. I missed the bit of food being passed in the flurry ! Sounds like she just settled in up above and is still talking about something. Wish we could understand eagle speak !

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Drama, drama, drama.

stronghunter said...

Oh my, plumb wore out from watching all of this eagle action while trying to plan dinner for tonight.

Just got a cake out of the oven.

DanaMo said...

yes I saw it.

Linda said...

Shep approaching the egg

WV sUSAn said...

That's it, Shep, get on that egg.

stronghunter said...

Shep approaching the egg cup.

Sandi said...

I also saw Belle take a piece of something (food) from Shep as he flew in. Then both started vocalizing. Hope Belle has gone to get more to eat and some exercise. Looks like Shep is going to do some egg sitting!

Sandi said...

Cam shook - Belle must be back in the tree.

Hoda said...

How so very cute, such gentle stepping to walk towards the cup he is sweet!!!

Camera just shook...I think Miss Belle took off

WV sUSAn said...

Belle just flew out of the attic. Shep taking his spot on the egg... soon. There he goes.

Sandi said...

HODA, I hope you're right that the cam shaking was on her departure, not arrival. Belle has a long night ahead - she needs food and some exercise. Again, Shep is lookin' good on the egg rolling/sitting duty!!

DanaMo said...

Looks like he is settling in.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

You just gotta love Mother Nature and natural instinct.

paula eagleholic said...

Good to see Shep incubating...

Kay said...

You are sooo right SHARON ! He's taken to this part of the job like an old pro ! Yep, Mother Nature and natural instinct !

WV sUSAn said...

Shep is tending the egg and sitting quitly.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I have a snipping tool, I have a snipping tool! :)

WV sUSAn said...

Meeting girls for dinner. BBL

Kay said...

Not to worry about her need for food as eagles can go several days without eating. When you get a good look at her crop it bulges showing there is a good supply there for her. Looks like he has a full crop, too.

Kay said...

SHARON, do tell us about your snipping tool ! Whas sup ?

Sandi said...

SHARON and KAY, I agree, Shep is coming along right nicely!! Rolling the egg - wiggle, wiggle!!

wvgal_dana said...

I guess Belle is p_ _ _ _ _
because Shep is not coming in often enough to relieve her. Unless there is another eagle out there making her give out the cries???

Sandi said...

DANA, I think her vocalizing was directed toward something nearby, not toward Shep. Just my opinion.

DanaMo said...

I'm so bummed when I have to do work over that I feel sure that I have done before. I can't find my "100th day of school" lesson plans. I know what I do, but I can't find my "plans". So I am off to write them over! I looked on both computers, here and at school. Nothing!

DanaMo said...

Oh I was joking when I said it. I just thought it sounded like she was chewing him out. I remembered being home all day and how I felt so I was just being silly.

wvgal_dana said...

Well I thought she was chewing him out truely lol

wvgal_dana said...

What time is sunset today?????

paula eagleholic said...

DanaMO, the image of you running from the kids was a good one, made me LOL ☺

paula eagleholic said...

Egg cup looking more and more defined ☺

magpie said...

looked to me like a very small fish or piece of one seems she grabbed it right out of his beak

paula eagleholic said...

When he first landed, I thought the same thing...then they both began calling. Glad it's quiet now.

And now that there is an egg, they will be VERY defensive! They will call out at anything that gets too close to the nest!

Sandi said...

DANAMO, I can remember calling Denny at work one day when Brian was 4 and Kevin was a newborn and telling him to get his ass home before I shook his son so hard I detached his retinas!! That was the direct quote and you had better bet that Denny flew home!! =D

magpie said...

and swallowed it in one gulp
then they both seemed to be very busy
making noise against...something..at one point I thought I heard an extra set of wings making noise

Bless Shep, he "rose" to the occasion on the precious Egglet...

paula eagleholic said...

Kay, snipping tool is a little program on Windows7 that allows you to "snip" a picture from an online live feed or video...

magpie said...

if anyone was outside down there, including the kids and the DayCare Teachers....they had to have heard and seen some things.....

paula eagleholic said...

And I was taking pics when Shep arrived, and it makes my feed temporarily stop, so I couldn't witness any food exchange!

magpie said...

it was very very quick Paula...

DanaMo said...

I'm sure they are communicating in some way, just not the same that we humans express our feelings. Not to say I haven't had my feathers ruffled a time or two! LOL!

Oh nice view of the egg as Shep rolls it and adjusts.

Hoda said...

Here is a video of the arrival PAULA compliments of DEEWERMS from Hancock FoundationShep arrives

magpie said...

glad you have sound Lolly...
think it is the Flash Player that does the trick...

DanaMo said...

And I would say they would be very defensive if anything was perceived as a threat.

magpie said...

Yep, Paula.... the egg looks like a real baby bowl now ☺

paula eagleholic said...

I did get a pic of Belle doing a quick mantle...will check out the video later...

Lolly said...

I missed all the action as I was in on the computer, reading and deleting mail. I have been having lots of problems with fb. Can not send a message as it freezes up. Then I have to reboot. Not going to try to send anymore messages with fb,.

I do hope Belle finds a good belly filling meal. She has another egg or two to lay.

DanaMo said...

okay here's a problem...I'm ready for spring and my Poinsettia's are still looking beautiful. I'm ready for some fresh cut spring colored flowers and these things aren't dying! LOL

magpie said...

Kay
I'm really sorry to read you are in such discomfort....hope the MRI shows what's going, followed by Quick Relief on how to Treat It.


Hoda
My mother used to use human hair, from us kids I guess OUCH to darn woolen sweaters....you can barely see the stitching...I can send you some of mine if you like ☺

Lolly said...

Using the snipping tool....mine feezes up and I have to wait way too long. So afraid of missing something.

magpie said...

I couldn't blog and watch earlier Lolly...I shut everthing down, did a bunch of stuff, working much better now.
and that does not include Facebook..

Mema Jo said...

195 comments (All good I hope) have been made since my feet went up!
Wow! As long as I see Shep on the egg now, I think all is well.

Dinner time soon here in this house.

paula eagleholic said...

DanaMO, shove them in the basement in the corner and don't water them, they'll die! LOL Then go out and by some fresh cut flowers or a blooming plant.

Hoda said...

I had heard of that MARGY...My hair is very long, goes down to my bum, so if I was to try it I have plenty hair...too much sometimes it seems like to me!!! LOL!!! The sweater darned nicely and it is all done...now to cooking and cleaning the kitchen...

Mema Jo said...

DanaMo - go get some fresh yellow and red tulips from the Grocery store.
That'll fix you up!

magpie said...

Moon is 99% Full...should have another great night-viewing experience tonight

Lolly said...

I did see the cup and it is looking quite good. Guess time spent on the cup and flugging up all the flugg works wonders.

FuzzleMT said...

Hoda, that is one fine video!!

Hoda said...

Irene DeeWerms, from Hancock Foundation, does a great job with her videos...Thanks I told her that I brought it over here and to WOW...

Lolly said...

Every year we buy two poinsettias for Christmas at church. We used to get them after the holidays, but for the last two years I did not get them. They would last till summer and then I would plant them outside. Going to say something to the person in charge next year. I hate the idea of them throwing them out.

Lolly said...

Well, Hoda, do not start pulling out your hair to darn.

Leona said...

I am having trouble seeing all the comments today.

Leona said...

Now that I posted a comment I can see all of them. :)

Sandi said...

Sounds like Belle is back!

Kay said...

HODA, thanks for sharing the DeeWerms video ! I could clearly see the tasty morsel for Belle---or that she decided was for her. LOL !

MARGY, thanks for the moon report---love being able to see the nest by the light of the moon.

Belle just landed in the attic. Hope she's nicely refreshed now !

Lolly said...

That is what you have to do, Leona, to get past the first 200. We all have the problem.

Kay said...

Hi LEONA, good to "see" you. You stumbled on the key to seeing the lastest posts. There is some Google snafu fouling us up. Arg !

Mema Jo said...

DanaMo, did you actually use the Search
tool to try to find your lesson plans?

JudyEddy said...

Home from work and had a poweroutage storms I got almost two inches of rain in my rain guage off to go read

Leona said...

Evening Kay..

JudyEddy said...

had to logg in to the blogger I guess with power being out I just heard Shep I guess it was him I hope he as been a good daddy today

DanaMo said...

yup, I did, and I put in every combination of words that I may have saved it as, it even looks in communications.

PA Nana said...

Is that Shep in the nestcup?? I was away from the 'puter and may have missed Belle's return.

JudyEddy said...

I just noticed it is Shep in the nest AWWWWW

PA Nana said...

Watched the video of Shep arriving and think Belle was giving him h- e- double l about such a small portion.

Whatever it was, it was funny to watch.

Kay said...

Shep has been tending the egg and nest since 4:48 ! He's Aok !!!!!

PA Nana said...

Would love to stay, watch and blog, but it's "supper time and living is easy." Ooops, wrong song.

... later

Kay said...

Clearly Belle trusts this new dad. She's been in and out of the tree a couple of times and is apparently content to leave him in charge. Sweet !

Lolly said...

Just found and watched Hoda's link to the video. Thank you, Hoda! woukd like to know if she was fussing at Shep or upset by an intruder.

Kay said...

Sounds like Belle is cleaning her beak---or Woody the Woodpecker is close by.

JudyEddy said...

You all need to do what I do go on the youtube site and subscribe to them and you will get it emailed when they do a new upload I get them all Above the video is a subscribe and make sure you click on email me new videos

JudyEddy said...

definitely tell we have something going on in nest I now have 255 email to read

DanaMo said...

Sounds like a lot of noise on the cam are they going to change places??

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Belle just dropped down from the heavens! :)

DanaMo said...

Looks like he is settling ing in again. Oh I jumped when she landed and stuttered. Maybe she is back to sit.

Mema Jo said...

Wow One egg with Mom and Dad

Mema Jo said...

They are still very alert or distracted

Hoda said...

In comes MISS BELLE...Shep was cheking over the railing at six before she arrived. He is off the cup area now and both looking around

Sandi said...

Looks/sounds like all is well with our eagle family!

Hoda said...

Poof Shep

Linda said...

I must be having internet problems. The cam looks like it is in slow motion and when I try to post, it says it takes too long to respond and boots me out. Hmmmmmm

Guess I won't be reporting any activity for the time being...... I am sure many of you WILL!!

Looks like Shep is getting ready to take off....

Mema Jo said...

Belle alone in nest with egg

Linda said...

I keep getting blogger.com error messages when I post telling blogger.com took too long to respond.

Oh well.......back to taxes....

Kay said...

You've been great company this afternoon, Buds ! Time to make a salad and settle into evening routine.

Prayers, as always, for all in need and for the safety of Belle, Shep and egglet !

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

magpie said...

things get a little herky-jerky after nightfall, Linda...many of us see that....

Belle's egg-tending now and will probably Plop soon

Shep was Wonderful..
bet he's thinking, wow what a scratchy bed this is...where are the flannel sheets??

magpie said...

Might as well call that Moon FULL - It's spectacular

Venus and Jupiter aren't too shabby either !!!

wvgal_dana said...

Margy I agree with your 5:27pm comment. She did get a piece of food from Shep. I do believe the way they both are acting. There is another eagle out there!!!!

DanaMo said...

She looks so comfy. I think I will do the same...

wvgal_dana said...

"not acting but aggravated" by possible intruder.

Linda said...

Thanks, Margy. Now that you mention it, I remember seeing it that way the other evening when I watching around the same time. ♥

hedgie said...

?

magpie said...

well another something it seemed, Dana........as has been mentioned in earlier posts by others....any threat....is a threat...and it seems that Belle and Shep will have a UNITED FRONT against it...


God Bless This Nest....

Leona said...

Calling it a short night. Hope to be back in a day or two... Night all

magpie said...

Belle looks like an Angel with the Moonglow on her beautiful white head.....

Christine said...

Dana, I saw the same as you.

magpie said...

You all probably know this.
The Moon and all the planets are in an "Arc of the Elliptic" means they are all pretty much in the same path...Find the Moon, follow it to the next brightest object Westward, there's Jupiter, keep going, there's Venus...
sometimes a planet will be a little "off" the arc'ed path, but you'll find them in pretty much this way....
but sometimes these planets are out of night-time sight and you won't see them....we're lucky with Jupiter and Venus these winter months...Saturn and Mars come out later on, before sunrise...
The End.

Mema Jo said...

Linda - Alcatraz tonight
I'm looking forward to it... Who'd of thunk it?

Mema Jo said...

Going over to check out FB


Hoda I loved the Youtube that you gave the link and I did subscribe to her videos.

magpie said...

Professor goofs, make that Arc of Ecliptic, not elliptic

magpie said...

Hey there, Evening GLori
approaches !!

Hi Lori

hedgie said...

Had to laugh at the images that DanaMo and Sandi painted of when the kids were young! I remember feeling the same way more than once!! My best "outlet" was getting on the riding mower and mowing the yard!!! Couldn't hear a thing...not one single "Mommy....Mommy, she such and such me!!" Of course, could only do that when he was home....and after they got older!!!!

Lori O. said...

Good evening, everyone!

Hi Margy! Just trying to catch up. Is it possible? 400 posts. Makes me worry when I first see that!
So happy that SHEP has returned again and taken his turn. He was actually cute with the egg this morning.

Anyone making bets (shouldn't say that after the Superbowl!) on when the next egg will come?

hedgie said...

Good reporting on the afternoon/evening nest activity!
Belle seems very calm now. ANd, of course, cam is herky-jerky!

hedgie said...

Margy, did you go upstairs??

hedgie said...

Margy, did you go upstairs??

magpie said...

Yes, Lori...quite a lot of eagle-calling out action today...

No bets that I know of, but Paula says Tues or Wed for a second egg, I'll go with that !

Wondering what that persistent, very regular animal it is making that sound, guessing a dog from the nearby farm....

NatureNut said...

Trying to jump across several splits!!!
Read some of the tan page posts & saw Sharon's "maybe" wedding dress.
Very stunning!

Good light on the nest!Full moon tomorrow, but looks plenty full tonight!

NatureNut said...

YAY!!! I made it and didn't Fall Down! LOL

Hoda said...

I will go with PAULA's estimate of Tuesday or Wednesday too LORI.

magpie said...

did, Lynn, but the person I needed to talk to was taking a nap, and oddly enough, both kids are very quiet tonight...hmmmmm...but I did handle some of it by telephone with her a few minutes ago....
we'll see...

Hi Loretta...

Lori O. said...

How was your day, Hoda?

magpie said...

She moves: Egg Roll !!

Mema Jo said...

Mostly news items on my FB - however; I did see a comment by NCTC about the eagle season beginning and the url for the Outdoor Channel was posted.

magpie said...

on second thought, maybe that is a Canada Goose....making that persistent noise...
have heard that before, around HERE

Mema Jo said...

Lori, you can't lose by saying the next egg will be here Tuesday or Wednesday.
Win - Win

magpie said...

got some of the Christmas presents wrapped and packaged, but couldn't "leave the nest" to go mail them....not with all that action going on....
so, finishing up on more of those, and will mail Tuesday
Also sending a "Happy Healing" book of Great Moments in Sports...to my brother Fred...

Best Wishes for a Good Evening, Precious Pals..."See You Later "

xo ttfn ♥

DanaMo said...

Oh Sandi, that is too funny!
Annemarie is the one who made me feel that way. Monte was traveling from the time she was a couple of months old, but the real trouble came when she was 2 and crawled out of the crib. We decided it was safer to put her in a big girl bed. Well that was the end of any of my peace. She wouldn't nap, wouldn't go to bed, would listen to me period and I would sit at the bottom of the stairs and cry! Thank God my mother was close by!

DanaMo said...

*wouldn't* listen to me

Lori O. said...

Night Margy...see you in the morning. Big hugs!

hedgie said...

Heading for sofa--Jeopardy will be on soon. Hope I don't fall asleep!

magpie said...

when James was little, his hearing was not so good, because he was so small when he was born....his ear canals took awhile to "grow up."
we could often not understand what he was trying to "say." I guess because he was also hearing things, garbled...and maybe just repeating what he was hearing.
Sometimes he would just slap us in the face out of frustration....
that's all in the past now....

magpie said...

I would call him "Grandson" - and the first time he repeated it, it was "Grinson." I still call him that sometimes

G'Night Lori...
I'll be quiet now...
(( Hugs ♥ ))

Lolly said...

This weekend, on Sun morn, here came Zach a little before 7. "It's morning", he announced. His parents slept til 9:30. I asked him if his parents sent him in to me. Yes, they did! LOL Told Jack is was easier when Joseph was little and Laurel did that. Just talked with her and told her about Zach. She laughed!!! But, we have to get up every morning. I told her....I did too, when you were little!

JudyEddy said...

You guys could go to the YouTube and make a comment on her video I am sure she would like that I have comment on several of hers and she answered me back also seems like a nice lady I hope she is a lady

JudyEddy said...

Cute story about Zach announcing "it is morning" I think your children and the grand children have mischief in them...do they take after the grand parents I wonder?

I had a good day LORI...lots of tasks accomplished. I just finished cooking a lamb and vegetables curry casserole and did mending and cleaning and such tasks...in forty five minutes I will head out to yoga...I enjoyed keeping an eye on the goings on in the nest today...Thanks for asking LORI...I hope you had a good day at work and that you had a good nap also...Belle is resting comfortably.

JudyEddy said...

NatureNut said...

Just watched Doreen's video that Hoda posted. TY, Hoda!
Sure did look like Belle had snatched smothing from Shep & scarfed it!I thought it never go to the egg, but there was some jabbering from the attic before Belle flew away & cam shook!
So exciting!
Margy, if you're going to bed, Pleasant Dreams! ☺
Gotta eat and aren't hungry. Oh well!

 Pretty Only heard feathers ruffling twice from under nest in the basement or in the Nest tree
