Thanks for the new thread Steve! I will go get everyone

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

It is putting down snow here now this morning, but the ground is so warm, it will take a while for it to stick. I am thinking we are not going to get as much as they initially said.

I header some geese flying by. Better watch out or they will be brunch!

Sandi said...

Thanks, Steve for the new thread and Bev for the call over. Still quiet at the nest - hoping the power of positive energy will keep it that way!!

Good to see an update on Red. Will continue to wish him a speedy and complete recovery.

Looks to still be quiet at the nest with Belle on duty now.

More good news -- snow will be a non-event.

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning again... Read the earlier
comments...

Thanks Steve for the new thread
Hey There, Bev! Thanks for the call over - snowing? Hope it melts fast!
I need to look at the Bluefield cam.

Mema Jo said...

Just to be sure everyone got the news
Nest Update BWE

02/19/12:
Chick Alert #2!
Chick #2 is here! The parent left some egg remains in the nest, so it was hard to tell the other had hatched.

Mema Jo said...

Hello Jim and Judie
Thanks, Judie for the non-event announcement!
I guess you have sunshine, Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Morning all!

Cloucy and colder her this morning....but you won't hear any complaints from me....any day at the beach is a good day!

Lynn, thanks for the update from Dianne on Red.

Sounds like a normal morning at the nest...that's good.

Will check out pics when I get home tonight

DanaMo said...

Back from Mass ready to tackle another week!

Mema Jo said...

I got an email from Sparky Jones at the
DunedinOspreyCam Communications Director
www.DunedinOspreyCam.org

First Osprey Egg
He has a beautiful pic of the egg
The nest/platform is located on the Pinellas Trail near the Dunedin Stirling Links in Pinellas County Florida.

JudyEddy said...

Just got home and find new thread got to put the stuff away i will be back THANKS FOR THE NEW THREAD

Mema Jo said...

Paula - guess you are going up today to try to beat some of the weekend traffic

Have a safe trip home
Give Nick a pat for me.....

Mema Jo said...

Headed of to FB to check family & friends BBILW

movin said...

Does anyone know what kind of bird they have in the BWE nest? Looks kinda like a goose, but it has a sharper beak (I think).

[:~D] Jim

magpie said...

Hallelujah New Thread, Thanks Steve, and Thanks Sissy for the EVENT notice !

First thing I checked is BWE...Wahoo ! That picture link is EGGxactly what I saw this morning and could not discern...
it is so beautiful....
and WOW Dunedin (pronounced, I think...Dunn-Eadon) has an egg already, so much to look at these days !!

magpie said...

Good report on RED, that's a decision about rehab, that I guess most families have to make....

Did wonders for my brother Fred, who is home now, doing well, is supposed to take in 3000 calories a day, and yesterday his total was 3,2000

magpie said...

Thank you Jo
for both the BWE and the Dunedin alerts....
Knew you'd be on that !!

magpie said...

Good to SEE You Paula, and always happy to hear you are enjoying what you are doing... ☺

hedgie said...

I am spending as much of the day on the sofa as I can--still having issues with the swollen feet/ankles (KANKLES) and maybe NOT sitting will help. Checking in occassionally.

Hurray for BW #2!
And to Dunedin!!

Sandi said...

Has anyone else lost the live cam? I keep getting an error message that says the page you requested generated a server error. GRRR!!!

magpie said...

Thanks for the Changing of the Royal Guard from the prior thread,
Sissy....



BELLE is OUT..after chirping a few

JudyEddy said...

LOVE IT announcement I am leaveing and you better get you but down here and then they show up tooo cool

JudyEddy said...

Great news about TORI and RED HODA thanks for posting the comment on both sites you are the bomb

magpie said...

And I do think Royal Shep is on those Royal Eggs now...

I'm still watching for the spot...

magpie said...

Yes, he is....

Lynn...see you bout those kankles, and this weather (cloudy, moist...)
won't help much, so am very glad you are staying IN

Sandi, I hope you try live feed again and get it...

magpie said...

I don't think that is gunfire I think it is hammering.....
make that pounding....
probably from the farm nearby

JudyEddy said...

I hate vacations then you have nothing to do I went out this am and checked out to second hand stores and found nothing they are getting extremely high for used stuff and I told them I could buy it new so just penny more new at a store I laughed out loud when I saw a item priced more that it would be at Wal-Mart and I did let them know and they did reduce the price on the spot but it was something I didn't want it was a pack of baby wipes that had a 2.99 tag on it and at Wal-Mart it is 1.87

DanaMo said...

No problem with the cam here.

JudyEddy said...

I still have the cams I have two open with live feed just in case I loose one and odd thing is one is just a little quicker that the other you can tell when they move their head

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Gosh, I hope that is not gunfire I am hearing!!!

magpie said...

Lynn, I was having some nice post-midnight exchanges here with Jewels ☺

JudyE....do you go to the Goodwill stores? Or church-sponsored thrift shops?

had to laugh when CarolAnne said she was browsing the goodwill site online this morning...I would never get OFF that site if I went there, hard enough to get out of the REAL store ☺ Which I plan to do later...!

magpie said...

just posted a few back, Sissy, pretty sure is hammering or pounding....farm work probably..or the folks at the big stone house...

JudyEddy said...

LM I played on facebook to long last nite doing the map and pictures of my vacations in 2003 and 2004 got to watch my dvd and grabbed pictures from it lots easier that looking in album tryng to guess where we were and I want to THANKS YOU AGAIN FOR MAKING ME AWARE OF MY SNIPPING TOOL LOVE IT CA

magpie said...

if it IS gunfire, it is not from on-campus....

JudyEddy said...

I still have more pic to put in from other states but that will have to wait not this am for sure Did you all know about the map on facebook?????????????

magpie said...

JudyE...I actually love a staycation...time off with nothing particular on the dance card.....

I could use one of those NOW ☺

JudyEddy said...

I go to all kinds of them and they all are high and when you say something they say they have to pay their staff especiallt the state run ones

magpie said...

After looking and looking again at the Hancock NCTC site, I think those folks are every bit as "addicted" on this nest as we are....

And I am thinking also, that intruder does look like the big unwelcome Stranger from Jan 24

JudyEddy said...

LLM LM LM neck says get away from puter till pill hit my system

JudyEddy said...

Don't get me wrong but I love staycations toooo I love sleeping in and chill laxing vegie around the house but I am just a little down in the dumps

Mema Jo said...

Great Video of Jewel & the Northwoods

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MezLD-hUWEk

You can really see the cubs

magpie said...

oh JudyE, I am sorry about that...make sure you just go do something GOOD for yourself....
it takes awhile to get out of those grey clouds sometimes....
go to the beach, watch for the sunset, maybe that nice guy will be there later ☺

JudyEddy said...

Here is a short video of Belle calling out at 11:39 last night I was watching Tv and each time she called out I missed it but did get ths one

Last nite Belle calls out

magpie said...

Thanks Jo
for the bear link....
those cubs are precious !

Lolly said...

Laurel and the boys are gone and I have decided to play hookie from church. Would have had to rush too much. We had 2 inches of rain yesterday. Today is is 46 and cloudy. Water still standing. Will be fun to listen to the weather man the next few days as he tells us how much this has helped the lakes.

Lynn, if you have not already sent a message to Red, please tell him we have all been thinking about him.

I see Shep on the nest. I looked back yesterday and see the attack happened minutes after I was on. I mentioned Shep was about to twist his head off looking up. Must have been watching the intruder at that time.

Lolly said...

I want to climb up into the nest and do a little housecleaning. LOL

Lolly said...

Interesting article in our paper today from a reporter of the New York Times, reporting on thin ice this year on lakes. " Worse, in parts of Wis. and Minn, authorities have reported cars and people falling through tenours ice at miserable rates" Do not think I would be out on that ice!!! It also mentions ice fishing tournaments having to be cancelled.

Lolly said...

I am off to read the paper now. But, I will be watching the cam.

magpie said...

Lolly
I was thinking of you not long ago, about the Grand Slumber Party at Hawkwood Gardens...
sounds like a "Great Time was Had by All" ☺ ♥

magpie said...

My naturalist friend in NY is a die-hard ice-fishing afficionado, but this year has been disappointing...not enough cold for much of that...on Lake Erie...

Mema Jo said...

I am thankful Carol Anne's lake is
frozen solid with all the ice fishing
going on!

magpie said...

I'm about to put on some Sheet aka Street clothes and head out the road...

got some Grandsonning to do...

Best Wishes for a Good Day, Everyone
xoxox ♥
(( All-Day-Long Hugs ♥ ))

magpie said...

Blissfully "Quiet" at the Royal Sycamore, (well an airplane and some little birds chirping now and then...) but know from yesterday that can turn on a dime as Sissy and Sharon say...
Hoping it does NOT....
and the Stanger finds her (or his) own mate and nest...

I put a few new pictures up on Swinging Bridge Blogspot, had to get there after a difficult workday Thursday.....
I'm thinking about removing the word verification feature but did not do that yet...

magpie said...

I love this, the sun ☼ is working its way out of some thin cloudspots...

magpie said...

Egg tending, Shep

Lori O. said...

MARGY, have fun with James. I can't wait to see the new SB pictures! Cool!

Lori O. said...

JUDYE, why are you so down in the dumps? Did I miss something?

Mema Jo said...

Judy I love the video from last night
with Belle's calls...I could hear them perfectly Thanks.

Lori - Vacation days for Judy and no
where to go and nothing special to do.

Mema Jo said...

I see my red red cardinal out back in the bush. I'll be so glad when I can
see Robins in the yard looking for
worms............

Lori O. said...

Thanks Jo...was worried.

No snow for us!!!

Mema Jo said...

Lori - the nest is calm Thank the Good Lord

Taking a short break.........

NatureNut said...

Happy Quiet Sunday, we Hope!
Have to go back & read some older comments, but looks like things are normal at the nest.
Thx, JudyE, for last night's video.
We need a critter cam up in the tree!!☺

Lolly said...

Have finished the paper all the while glancing up at Shep. Still want to climb up and removed some sticks from the flugg and put them up on the edge where the rails belong. Sorta looks like my den carpet after the boys have been here. LOL Lincoln logs all over the floor!! Yes, they go from computers to lincoln logs and back to computers, oh and tinker toys. Joseph built something that he wanted to save, so we found a high shelf to hopefully save it til next time.

Whoops...my cleaning man has entered this room with the vacuum. I better close so he can move my chair.

Geula said...

I think I missed something! There was an intruder? When?

JudyEddy said...

Almost got the house cleaned Shep has done a face plant looks like and yes GUELA we had a intruder yesterday I put three pic on my nest blog and here is the Hancock link with the pic go up three or four pages on this link there are lots of pic
my page my page


yesterdays intruder

JudyEddy said...

Watching qualifying for the race doing laundry and trying to figure out if I want to use the pole for the cats that I have in the utility room it is a cat pole with three shelves I use it to hold my laundry soap LOL didn't want to through it out after my last cat didn't use it Trying to figure out where I would put it first before I take it down and will they use it is another thing my last cat didn't

PattiO said...

Good Afternoon everyone. I hope Shep and Belle have a more peaceful day today. Shep looks funny right now, with his butooski up in the air. :)

Lolly said...

It does look that way, Patti. For a second there I thought we had had a changing of the guards, but see now that it is still Shep. Very very thankful that it is a peaceful day!!

Hoda said...

Good Morning/ Good afternoon everyone...

Glad to read things are calm and more normal at the nest today.

Thanks for the reports.

Safe travels PAULA.

Hoda said...

Chirping by Shep, looks up, camera shakes in comes Belle? He gets off eggs and goes to railing and now back to eggs, scratches on the camera casing all is well...no alarm or agitation.

Hoda said...

more scratching nois on the cam and it shakes slightly again. Shep is incubating.

Hoda said...

Elizabeth Smart got married in Hawaii yesterday. Good on her.

Hoda said...

Shep continues to look around and periodically up at the cam..scratch noises ongoing off and on.

JudyEddy said...

shep now on cam

Lolly said...

Eggs alone....Shep back. Hear someone in the attic. Cam shook, think it is Belle.

JudyEddy said...

i am recording trying to be quiet

Sandi said...

Hi all! Looks like the changing of the guards at the nest. Belle doing an egg roll and wiggling down! Kerplunk!!

Hoda said...

Shep gets off eggs and goes to launch pad next to nine branch and takes off up to the branch. I hear vocalizing chirps and more scratches at the camera and Belle comes down and more scratches as Shep hops to her spot? The vocalizing was very quiet almost whispers. Belle incubating facing nine and she looks up at the cam where I hear scratches...sure it is Shep.

JudyEddy said...

so glad today is so quite at the nest nice and peaceful so far

JudyEddy said...

Odd that he would go to the attic instead of fishing or flying

JudyEddy said...

Maybe he is sticking close to home today with all the trouble yesterday I guess

JudyEddy said...

HEY HODA or anyone on facebook the past couple of days I have been playing on the map I was wondering if it shows up on your all news feed because it doesn't on mine and I just thought that all I know some people have like it people for my highschool and was just wondering if it shows up at all????????

JudyEddy said...

still watching qualifying for the race LM uploading the video I just took to Youtube like to get at least one a day I wish I was home yesterday to get the fight but glad I wasn't home to see it

NatureNut said...

I had sent the BW news to Greg K., Park naturalist, yesterday. He replied and said, "cool snow goose in the nest"! So now we know what waterfowl that is. Sad, but necessary, I guess.Not as much emotional attachment to a fish!
Gotta make a Red card.
BBL

Hoda said...

JUDYE it does not show up on my news feed on FB.

Hoda said...

I see the map on your new time line however JUDYE...you have visited lots of places.

Hoda said...

LYNN thanks for the email nfrom DIANNE, Red's wife...

Geula said...

lol! I thought it was Shep sitting on the eggs now, but it tirned out to be a little bit of dirt on my screen!

JudyEddy said...

Thanks allot for the feed back on the wall post I wonder how they knew not unless they went to my page odd I will email one of them and ask I know that if you tag someone like I did my sis Janet it will appear i did the one with us in the rain gear at Opryland and she commented on it
And yes I have been around so to speak but without my best friend June and Terry I would have never had to opportunity to see it all I went to California with my parents but don't remember to much of it You know as a child you don't appreciate stuff like that the beautify of the old USA and I am not done yet with pictures and states It is taking time and my neck can only do so much

**boy am I sweaty and hot I just got through moving the cat pole from the utility room to the hall way lets hope they use it that was hard to do it has the tension pole on top and my ceiling are high out in the hall that is where the driveway was and they put a room there so the floors are lower that the rest of the house got done vacuuming all the popcorn ceiling up I knocked down too I will get some cat nip to rub on it maybe they will utilize it instead of my bamboo desk I hope so

WVGAL DANA I didn't hear the phone ring when you called was in the middle of doing the above and YES I know that there was a intruder I put pic on FB fan page and did make comments yesterday and today about it

NOW I NEED A SHOWER I AM SOAKED WITH SWEAT

JudyEddy said...

funny with the dirt on the screen GUELA ok now to shower and go get something to eat

JudyEddy said...

and I think I have been in every state but Washington and Alaska and Hawaii and I went to Germany with my mom and sister when I was young I do remember it really good

JudyEddy said...

I put changing of the guard on the blog and on facebook also

changing of the guard at 153

JudyEddy said...

EGG Roll and all is calm on the nest

JudyEddy said...

I love the way she tends to the bowl and the eggs moiving the eggs now and wiggle wiggle down on them sooooo sweet

JudyEddy said...

EGG ROLL

Lori O. said...

JUDYE, put your cat pole by a window and the cats will love it. I've gone through three of them that way! They love being able to see outside and the warmth of the sun.

stronghunter said...

Snowing here now.

Mema Jo said...

Shirley - it is too late in the day to
start talking like that! lol

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Good afternoon my eagle budlets. The snow is falling in Bluefield. :-)

Mema Jo said...

I hope it soon stops, Sharon

Spring is following the snow!!!

JudyEddy said...

Got my taxes figured out did the EZ this year since I didn't sell any Walmart stock getting back a little over a thousand now can't mail till Tues

Lori O. said...

BOTH EAGLES IN THE NEST

JudyEddy said...

He brought in some flugg

Lori O. said...

BELLE HOPS OUT OVER 4 AND SHEP DOES AN EGG ROLL.

Lori O. said...

JUDYE, did you see my post about putting your pole in front of a window for the cats? They will love it!

JudyEddy said...

I want to go get something to eat but will wait for darkness in case something happens at the nest Still down in the dumps but I will get over it I guess

Little disappointed in my daughter not calling me for some daughter and mom time she is always complaining that Jordyn see more of me that she does and we always kid each other about it She knows I am on vacation OH WELL I will get over it

NatureNut said...

See Shep/aka Spot ☺ is egg sitting. Doesn't look like any precip.
Made up a goofy animal pic card for Red and emailed!
Gotta thaw out some din din stuff in micro.
BBL

JudyEddy said...

Got the coolest screen grab of the still of Belle poofing I put on album and also have a couple of pic and a short video of the cats on the pole and I wish I had a window to put it on maybe will have to move furniture to do that

Cats and the POLE

JudyEddy said...

YEP LORI saw it and just trying to figure it out My kitchen table is in front of the kitchen window and the couch in in front of the side widow in living room and my desk hutch is in front of the front window I may have to think about moving the hutch the window is broke and doesn't open at all And with the cats I am not opening my window because I am afraid they may push out the screens anyway

JudyEddy said...

With the desk where it is I can see the computer and screen at all times from the couch and rocking chair and if I move it won't be able to see it and would be afraid cats would jump on top of hutch from the pole The have gotten on the pole a couple of times with it in the hall way You can see it on the video I posted on the blog a bit ago Odd that Belle didn't call out tonight and Shep is in early and usually Belle is on the nest this time I wonder if she will be back just ODD I think

JudyEddy said...

I am soooo hungry I wonder if Belle will be back to take her nightly duty or will she be on guard in the tree The drama continues in the nest As the Nest Turns Is just odd to see them switch this late He came in with flugg as a offerings he wanted to take his turn I guess

DanaMo said...

Getting ready to grill some steaks! Yum...invited mom and dad but they had a busy day and declined dinner. Plus my mother wants to cook dinner and bring it over instead. Because of the situation with my brother...you have heard much of that...my parents now live in very small quarters until the business sells. Therefore she can't have us over for dinner and doesn't like that I have to do it all the time. I knew she wasn't going to let me cook again. Mothers! LOL☺

Lolly said...

Oh, yes...Mothers are the pits! LOL Going to Laurel's this next week. Tuesday is Joey's birthday, so we are taking a steak dinner. Oh the horror of it!

House is clean, nothing much going on so I played with that stupid,(yes, I said that bad word) time line.

DanaMo said...

I just don't understand why she just won't let me do it!

Sandi said...

Driving back from Salisbury this afternoon, it started raining and sleeting. Wonder when Paula was leaving the beach? Hope she makes it home OK. Need to read back - hope everything stayed quiet at the nest today! Looks dry there!

Lolly said...

Dana, she just wants to make it easy on you. She knows you are working and caring for your family.

Mema Jo said...

Judy - looks as though Jet loves to be up at the top!

Sandi said...

Belle back, Shep off!

Lolly said...

Well, I missed that exchange. Light just changed.

Sandi said...

Boy SHARON, BEV and THELMA, it sure is snowing in Bluefield - saw the pics on FB! DMO, your folks haven't had any luck selling the business?? What a shame for them!

Hoda said...

DANAMO, I am touched by your story of how your mother wants to cook for you all...Great family you have...

Hoda said...

JUDYE, why don't you phone ANGIE and invite her over to do something together...just mother daughter...Jordyn can stay with Dad?Movie, cook, watch the grass grown and talk...I can not believe there is a place where one can watch the grass grow in February!!!LOL!!! That alone is an exciting thought...cabin fever???who me???
...NOOOOO!!!LOL

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Steve for the new thread.

Wasn't on much today but did spend about 4 hrs. on roadside in car at nest today. It was a beautiful day for it. Had the refresh up on my cell phone. I did see the intruder.

wvgal_dana said...

Mema Jo I wrote Lisa early this AM about what is in the nest. Here is what she sent me back:

I wrote one of our bird walk leaders to see if he could help us identify it. I thought it looked like a grebe or loon (thin bill) but I'm not sure


On Sun, Feb 19, 2012 at 6:41 AM, WV_gal

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

They are saying 4-6 more inches tonight. About 6 inches already. Power out in a lot of places but not here yet.

hedgie said...

Good evening eaglet dudettes and dudes(are there any lurking?).
No precip here...but sky has gotten very heavy and air is raw.
NO SNOW!!!!! At least not yet!

Hoda, hope your day has been slow-paced.

Mine sure has.....not feeling well at all.....non-specific complaints. Just physically blah.

D'Mo---let Mom pamper you!!!! Really having some issues here with needing my mommy one more time but neither of us up for the trip.

Hoda said...

Here is a video of Shep bringing in grasses earlier on today.

Shep and Belle switch

Video is compliments of Eaglelover of Hancock Foundation I think.

hedgie said...

JudyE, wherever you put the cat pole, make sure it's no cloe to any of your eagle collection that they could jump on and damage!!!!

Got the trash out before dark----what a PIA.

Bluefield gals----how much snow accumulation do you have???


I imagine that Paula may be home soon. Sure hope there's no sleet on the Bridge!!

Hoda said...

All is well LYNN here...yes a calmer day here with yoga and groceries...Life is good...Sorry you have the blahs!!! It is probably just the bad weather influencing energies and moods...Is the foot less swollen?

hedgie said...

If anyone wants to sent Red a message....send to his email. Diane will print it out. She is going to check out possible computer availability at the rehab, too.

Hoda said...

So there would be NO CONFUSION, Shep and Belle have since switched.

BELLE is in the nest presently and facing noon.

hedgie said...

I'm going to go take my bath now....Maybe then I'll feel like eating.

hedgie said...

Saw the switch, Hoda!

Kay said...

Imagine my luck, tuned in just in time to see the switch and watch the light go out. Happy to see a peaceful scene.

LYNN,thanks for sharing Diane's message about e-mailing to RED. I think many folks have to spend a few days at such a facility after hip surgery, but I'm sure he'd rather be home ! Sorry you're kinda puny today. I look forward to the day you do feel like making the trip to see your Mom. Counting on my place being a good stopover for you and Liesl !

Thanks for the good video, HODA ! Love watching our birds !

SHARON, keep that snow down there, please !

hedgie said...

LOL---Shar answered before I asked! Hope your power stays on, but you are prepared if not, right??? Bet the kids are bummed that tomorrow is a holiday!!!!

BBL.

Lori O. said...

Thanks HODA, I missed the switch and was wondering. :)

LYNN, bummer about your blahs, but I bet you get a smile on your face thinking we'll have no, or barely any snow!

Off to bed for me. Night everyone. Love, love love you all!

Hoda said...

Here is the switch where Belle takes over for the night shift.
Video is compliments of eaglelover of Hancock Foundation.
Night shift switch Belle incubating

Kay said...

Julie's washer gave up the ghost a couple of days ago and her new one won't arrive til' Mar. 2nd.. Can't say I'm happy about it, but I sure did enjoy her being here to do the washing and drying. We had several hours of that precious one on one, mother-daughter time.

Heading toward the den for 60 Minutes and Sunday evening shows, but....

Wishing Paula safe travel as she leaves Paradise and praying for all in need. Have a good evening and a restful night with sweet dreams ! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Sandi said...

WVDANA, you saw another eagle near the nest today?? Wow - NOT good!! OK, off to watch some TV. BBL!

grannyblt said...

I've been away a few days only 2079 posts to read--see yall about Wednesday afternoon !

wvgal_dana said...

JudyE your 1:59pm comment...Shep was sitting when looking at cam. On a limb they cut off. You could almost see him on cam but it is just a little too far. Anyhow the intruder came flying in towards Shep. He took off after it while Belle stayed on eggs. Shep came back flying beautifully around the nest about 4 times. Then furthere out. Then he took off in direction of intruderl.

hedgie said...

Hi, Lynne1----you'll never get caught up. :)

Goodnight, Lori. Hope you sleep well....:(

paula eagleholic said...

Evening, all!

Home safe and sound from the beach!

Got to catch up!

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, the bad weather hit just as I was leaving...rain, sleet and snow, but I drove out of it....so no problem.

paula eagleholic said...

So, DanaWV, where was the unwelcome eagle??

Mema Jo said...

Welcome home, Paula & Nick

My vote today went through for Nick

stronghunter said...

Still snowing here.

The grassy areas of the ground is covered. Streets still look okay. It is 35 degrees.

Just had a small crisis. The bathtub faucet handle broke off when Hunter tried to turn off the water. The water was still running, so we had to take action. Kathryn finally got it turned off. Hoping we can find a new part and replace the handle without too much trouble.

stronghunter said...

Nest looks very peaceful.

Not good that the intruder is still nearby, though.

hedgie said...

It's 8:20, and 60 Minutes just ended. So The Good Wife won't start until 9:20. Adjust your DVR'S!!!

hedgie said...

Shirley, that happened to me at my sisters once! Pliers to the rescue. Unfortunately, she had EXPENSIVE porcelain fixtures!!!

Paula, glad you got out when you did!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Oh Wow, the Good Wife...I'd better eat and get ready to watch! Thanks for the heads up Lynn!

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is facing 5ish...missed the turn, cam was stopped.

And two eaglets for BWE...that's wonderful!

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks for voting for Nick's Shelter!

DanaMo said...

Okay, I know it's good for mom to pamper me, but I feel like I need to pamper her now more than ever with what happened with my brother. But I'm sure she will be cooking that dinner and bringing it over soon! ♥

No bad weather here. Isn't suppose to touch us, but the air is heavy and it is cloudy and cold. The 10 day looks like early spring!

DanaMo said...

*supposed*

JudyEddy said...

This thing is cheap plastic, Lynn. We had to use a Phillips screwdriver, then pliers.

Mema Jo said...

I am watching the Good Wife at 9:00
I don't really enjoy Miama-CSI at 10:00

Lynn - thanks about 9:20 show time
What held it up this time......?

stronghunter said...

Oh my, trafficland.com shows a snowy mess in Richmond now.

JudyEddy said...

WOW WVGALDANA so glad you were there to see the intruder and I knew he went in the attic I could hear him up there for a second Ok now you all need to go up there and start yelling at the intruder to stay away LOL Just kidding I guess she wants a furnished home and not look for a new one herself

JudyEddy said...

Sharon had some beautful picture of the snow on facebook soooo pretty

JudyEddy said...

OH no Shirely about the faucet

JudyEddy said...

Thanks for the heads up on the Good wife LYNN

Lolly said...

Lynn, so sorry you have the blahs. A hot bath should make you feel better and eating something should help too.

Jack and I just ate leftovers from last night. I had cooked Bacon Pasta for Laurel and the boys. One recipe was just right for last night and for a meal for us tonight.

Hoda said...

Good Lord!!! The French newspapers and the British newspapers report Hitler had a son with a 16 year old French girl during the first world war. The sun is now dead but there are grandchildren!!! That somehow surprises me!!!claiming royalties on Mien Kampf and such!!! I have not heard it on Canadian news, have you all seen it on American news?

Hoda said...

the son not sun!!! sorry

stronghunter said...

Haven't seen it, Hoda. But haven't seen too much news lately.

stronghunter said...

Lynn, I am hoping that you don't get snow and that you have a good week ahead.

Lolly said...

When I arrived Belle was sitting up in top of tree. I don't know if she and intruder had any trouble or not.

I just know as soon as Shep stood up on that limb. The intruder showed itself from an area I think it was sitting in a tree waiting.

When I had arrived I looked all the trees over. All around the nest area. No sign of it but it appearing that soon it had to be waiting in a tree near by.

Lolly said...

Had not heard of such news, Hoda. Can not imagine wanting to claim to be a grandchild of Hitler.

wvgal_dana said...

Oh by the way I spoke with the man that lives there. He said the murdering sound we heard. Was a fox sending out mating calls. I said mating calls it sounded like it was hurt and dieing. He laughed.

NatureNut said...

Oh Boy! I could get on right away---under 200~duh!

If Lolly or other SW people come on, just talked to daughter outside of Austin & it rained all day Saturday! Doesn't mean much for lakes, tho.
We are now getting light, cold rain. Hope no ice, etc.
Gonna watch Apprentice.

Mema Jo said...

Think I'll just jump in and read backwards as I go..

Hello Evening Eagle Pals..fewer than 200 comments pretty much tells me things must have been much calmer at the nest today....will find out when I read things...

Gas Prices: WOOF !!! $3.69 per gallon in Berkeley Springs, $3.85 here in Martinsburg area....

One highlight of trip to Berkeley Springs, found two lovely male red-winged blackbirds in the swamp with cattails where James and I often see them ☺

xoxo ♥

magpie said...

See Lady and Lord Blackwater and the baby Blackwaters made good use of that duck dinner at their nest today...

Parent seems to be tenting now...
guess there is some wet stuff there

NatureNut said...

WVDana, I wrote earlier that Greg K., our Park Naturalist checked out BW link I sent him and replied taht it was a snow goose.

magpie said...

saw that Loretta, that was going to be one of my first comments when I finished reading...it sure was a beauty when it was fresh....
that sounds awful to put it that way but it did, saw where other possibilities that Lisa suggested were grebe or thin-billed loon...
well either way, not a duck...
Greg K is pretty sharp!

Hello !

Sorry to read that Lynn has the blahs.....

Happy to read that Paula is home safe and and sound....

and also happy to read that Shep keeps stepping up to the plate witn protecting the nest, hope both Royal Parents are getting some good chow...

magpie said...

a little noise at the cam, probably Shep in the branch

and A train ☺

magpie said...

I can't really see the nest

Lolly, the Lincoln Logs/Computer story with the boys, Love it !

James had a little autobiography to do for school...he listed his favorite hobby as birdwatching...☺
I was surprised, thought it would be playstation something or other...

Lolly said...

Egg roll!

Loretta, the lakes up here have been making remarkable recovery. Still below normal but way up from where there were. We are presently above average rain fall for this time of year. Anxious to hear what they say on the weather tonight.

magpie said...

We're still singing the Twelve Days of Christmas, and he keeps asking what a partridge is...

magpie said...

And for any basketball fans out there....we scarfed up a book "The 50 years of NBA "...or something like that...I've never seen a kid so excited about a book.....
it is exceptionally done

magpie said...

...and only $8. That book has been at Goodwill for a good two months...we finally grabbed it up.
Its value was validated within 30 minutes for sure...

Hope the evening is good...Yay on those with a three-day week-end with Monday off !!

I'll be interested to see the Google Graphics after midnight, wondering if the Two Presidents making up Presidents Day make the cut

time for those pj's
