Well, Here I am signing in for the morning, and there you are Steve !
Thank You !
Hope you have nice relatively un-windy day

I'll go see if anyone knows about this New Thread Yet

paula eagleholic said...

Good Morning! ☺

magpie said...

Happy Trails Paula and Nick ☺♥☺♥
when you head out, glad you will not be having to drive in too much wind...It's a beauteous day here today...
cool, like early Spring.. ☺

magpie said...

I slept in too this morning Paula...
Sunday mornings are good for that...

magpie said...

had to laugh reading about JudyE's long-sleeve chimpanzee style shirts...
I can't stand sleeves that are too long, especially if they have "cuffs" on them
like seams on socks! irritating !!!

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Steve for the new thread.

Thank you Margy for the call over.(:

magpie said...

Thinking first thing when my eyes woke up, of Lynn ♥ and hoping that the night was restful, and that today is 100% + better than yesterday (( Hugs ♥ )) Lynn

wvgal_dana said...

Praying that Lynn had a good nights sleep. One for Lynn and One for Liesl♥♥

wvgal_dana said...

Shep is on duty

magpie said...

I don't really know for sure about Horses being able to lock their knees when they sleep...heard it from somewhere, think giraffes and other animals do that also...
I'll do my research, I bet James or Lolly's Jacob knows ☺

Costume Lady said...

Sliding in here for a moment, to say Good Morning to all and will be saying a special prayer in church, for LYNN.

HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY♥

magpie said...

can't wait to see Venus, Jupiter and the Moon tonight, amazing how the relative positions change from night to night


EGG-Tending

wvgal_dana said...

I saw Derek and Savannah chick but the picture I took the sun was shining too much.

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Wanda (: Love you Lady♥

magpie said...

Thanks again to Paula and Sandi
for this Wonderful Event for Lynne and Steve with the "new" razzle-dazzle computer...will be so helpful to them both, and US because we get to see Lynne again on a regular basis
(( Thank You Hugs, Ladies ♥♥))

magpie said...

Belle flew in from the 7
Shep took off from the 11
and perched in the branches briefly think he flew off now
heard his little big boy voice

magpie said...

saw Shep's shadow from the branches above...

Belle's on Roosting duty now

Lori O. said...

Thank you, Steve, for the new Sunday thread!

Thanks, Margy, for the call over!

It's a beautiful blue sky day that the winds left us today!

magpie said...

Hey there Morning GLori
hope you enjoy this beautiful day off...
xoxox

Blackwater cam has gone black, for about ten mins now... the chicks were there without the parents and somewhat separated from each other...at last look...
waiting to see more....

Mema Jo said...

Morning Friends (again)
Thank You Steve for the fresh new thread
I didn't expect that call over so soon in the day - thanks Margy

That sunshine keeps calling my name....

DanaMo said...

Thanks Steve!

Back from Mass.

Plan on reading and watching the race later.

Mom is bringing dinner over tonight. Whatever makes her feel good...☺

Took 3 more online classes this morning. Three more to go in this "section".

New neighbors with "little people" are getting the Flying Labs all excited. Should be an interesting spring.

magpie said...

Belle chirped and flew off


Good M☼rning Jo and DanaMo, and all once again !

stronghunter said...

Good morning. Nest MT right now. Getting ready to head out on my day's adventures.

magpie said...

worry wart here, waiting on BWE to come back up and a Royal Parent to return to the Royal Eggs....

Lori O. said...

I'm worried, too, Margy!

Lori O. said...

Belle has been gone 6 minutes and there's no noise from Shep of any kind.

magpie said...

Good Morning Shirley..how is Hunter doing? Off the crutches yet ?
What are your adventures today ?

Lolly said...

Good morning! Need to go back and read the blog, but carefully monitoring the nest. Get back on those eggs!!

magpie said...

way too still there for me, Lori......
maybe Belle spotted some local on the ground chow she wants to bring back to the nest...

Lolly said...

At least there has been sunshine on the eggs. Getting close to 10 minutes!

Lolly said...

Going back to read the blog.

Lori O. said...

Very unusual for Belle to leave without seeing or knowing Shep is right there.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning all coming in (:

I am watching Fridy night Blue Bloods.

Lori O. said...

BELLE HAS BEEN GONE, AND THE EGGS UNCOVERED FOR 15 MIN. NOW WITH NO SIGN OF SHEP.

magpie said...

I know the eggs can take sonme "cold" time, especially with sunshine, but usually there is a parent perched nest-side keeping watch...
oh dear...

bet Lisa at BWE is getting alerted to the black cam view there too....

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Good morning to the eagle budlets that I love.

Heading out to Mattie's party today. May God be with us! :)

Some things are just nauseating to me this morning.

Will check in with you all later.

Mema Jo said...

Who is the egg sitter?????????????

Lolly said...

Have finished reading the blog. Neither Belle nor Shep have returned to the nest. It has now been 20 minutes. Yooooo Hoooo! Eagles come back.

I am ready for church, but need to go eat some breakfast. Will be keeping an eye on the nest.

Sandi said...

MT NEST!!!
WHAT's UP WITH THAT????
Need to read back!! Hope nothing is wrong!!

magpie said...

Have a good day, Sharon....
enjoy the party ((Hugs ♥ ))

When Belle chirped and flew out, she did not seem overly alarmed...
not as alarmed as she has been in some past times...

I think Shep had flown off about ten mins before she flew out...
can't say for sure

Mema Jo said...

I dislike big time seeing the eggs
unprotected......

Lolly said...

Good morning, Sharon!♥ Hang in there!! Going to be a remarkable day!!! Do hope Lynne and Steve get their new computer up and running with no problems. Yea!!!!

Judie said...

Momster's Rock! So now we keep our collective fingers crossed as the eggs have been unattended for such a long time. Need to go back and check to see if Belle or Shep has returned.

Lori O. said...

NO BELLE & SHEP FOR 25 MINUTES NOW...

SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE LANDED ON CAM

Lolly said...

Belle did some chirping and looking around before getting up and flying off. Like was said, it was not really alarming and fully expected to see Shep fly in.

Think I just heard someone in the attic. Hope so! Close to 30 minutes now.

Sandi said...

Oh dear, 20 minutes the eggs have been uncovered! Even with the sun shining, that just doesn't seem right! No eagle sounds - this has me worried!!

Mema Jo said...

I had my sound turned off - just turned on the speakers but don't think I have
any sound...........

This is very worrisome and a good
reason why we need that second cam

Sandi said...

Just saw the cam shake. SHEP!!

Lori O. said...

SHEP LANDS AT 11.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Saw Shep flying in!

Sandi said...

SHEW!!!! He didn't seem alarmed at all!! Guess he knows we'll do the worrying for him! =)

magpie said...

I seem to remember once in 2006
the eggs being alone for almost 45 minutes...

but everything turned out great that year....

NEVER SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT ROYAL SPOTTED HEAD AS RIGHT NOW !!

Okay, Momsters....Breathe....
whew!

Mema Jo said...

Thank Goodness!

You better get your feathers in the
nest over your eggs Shep!!

And don't leave like that again without telling us that you would be right back!

Mema Jo said...

You can go to Mattie's party now
Sharon....... BTW - what is this party
celebrating......?

Mema Jo said...

Something is very wrong!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

both eagles in nest

Mema Jo said...

Stay there and protect your eggs Shep
Belle is off and at them.....

Lori O. said...

BELLE & SHEP CALLOUT WHILE BOTH IN THE NEST AND BELLE TAKES OFF OVER 3.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

This is finally Mattie's 14th birthday party!

Just saw Belle and Shep hollering. Belle flew off again. Heading out now.

Prayers for Lynn!!! ♥♥♥

wvgal_dana said...

Sharon hope you feel better and your nausea goes away.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATTIE !!!

Lori O. said...

Enjoy the party, SHARON!

magpie said...

Very sad update on BWE.....

Lori O. said...

MARGY, thank you for posting the info to head to Blackwater site.

wvgal_dana said...

So very sorry for all the BWE follwers and especially Lisa. For the lose of one chick. Praying the other chick can make it. ^j^

Sandi said...

Thanks MARGY for the heads up about Blackwater. After last season at this nest, we all know what something like this feels like. And, with the Blackwater nest, there were no signs of any problems since hatching. How sad!!

grannyblt said...

Heart sick with the news from Blackwater.. I remember a similar incident last year with the Molly/McGee barn owl cam.

GooD MorniNG, aLL.

************************

None too encouraging thing happening at BWE today, I see.

It looks like it will be a warm, mostly sunny day here in So Cal. Maybe some wind and rain tomorrow though.

Have a great Sunday and MTWTFS too.

C(°Ù¿°)D Jim

paula eagleholic said...

OK folks, I am heading down to Lynne & Steve's...I'll let you know when I get there!

Mema Jo said...

I am very saddened for BWE news.
I'm sure Lisa and all the followers are
at a loss for words. I have the same
feeling now as I did for Patty O Joy!

magpie said...

Heartsick describes it, Lynne1...
...
hope they can get some resolution regarding what might have happened, definitely support Lisa's decision to turn off the cam...


Safe Travel Wishes, Paula...
xo

Mema Jo said...

Safe travels Paula! I bet you are more
excited then Nick! He probably thinks
he is going to Paula's Paradise and
doesn't know beans about Puppy Play
dates.......... WHoo Hoo!

Donnie said...

Hello to Everyone,
It looks like I have tons to information to catch up on... Shep? Wheres Trudy,.... Nobody watching the eggs... Things are going crazy around here and I'm in the dark...I have to to stay in touch better...

Hope everyone is well. I've have a major computer meltdown over the winter and am just now getting things back in order....

Lori O. said...

Donnie, it's so great to see you on here! Please come around more often! I miss you & your fabulous plant pictures!

Judie said...

Relieved our egglets are being protected again.

Very sad for BWE and Lisa.

Safe travels for Paula and Nick.

Sandi said...

BOTH EAGLES IN THE NEST! EGGS ARE EXPOSED. ONE POOFS - SHEP?

Sandi said...

BELLE ON EGG DUTY. DOES A ROLL AND THEN WIGGLE, WIGGLE, DOWN!

NatureNut said...

Blessed Sunday again on new thread.
Hope ♥Lynn♥ has a good day.
Sharon, tell Mattie H B!!!
So very sorry about BW.
Came back to see if there's any Paula, Lynne, Steve news! I know Paula's on her way!

Mema Jo said...

Lynn is having a quiet day, resting, having some private family time; Carolyn and son-in-law Charley are helping with some things, she appreciates our well wishes and prayers but is not having phone calls or doing emailing right now

Hoda said...

There was a changing of the Guards around five minutes ago. Belle on cup, Shep flew off from four.


Safe Travels Paula.

Good morning/ good afternoon all.

LYNN♥ ♥♥

Sorry about Blackwater.

magpie said...

Thanks Jo, we shall send our Prayers on the Wings of Angels to Lynn.......

(( All day Hugs, to Lynn, and all ♥ ))


ttfn...xo

Hoda said...

Thanks JO...

NatureNut said...

Welcome back, Donnie. Shep is the name voted on for Trudy or Truder from last spring. Same bird and is learning surprising well what a "Dad" should do!Think Belle is whipping him into shape.

paula eagleholic said...

I am here

Mema Jo said...

Go give them happiness & our love!

Lori O. said...

Yay, Paula...our missionary!

wvgal_dana said...

Paula is a "Woman On A Mission". (:

Lolly said...

I am so excited over what is occuring right now at Lynne's. This is time for a big group (((hug)))!!!!!

Home from church, now to read about BW. That is so sad!

Sandi said...

Boy, would I love to be a stinkbug on the wall at Lynne's right now!!

New update from Blackwater on FB - it appears that an intruder eagle came to the nest this AM and pecked at the chicks. Again, so sad!!

Lori O. said...

Oh, that is awful for BWE, Sandi. Thanks for getting the message over here.

Lori O. said...

Is anyone having FB probs now? I can't get anything to post.

Hoda said...

Thank you PAULA.

LORI I am good with facebook...I have posted several things and it is working for me.

Lori O. said...

Thanks HODA. Just trying to get stuff done for work, and it's not happening. Glad it's okay for you.

Exciting now isn't it???

Lynne2 said...

I'm back!!!! Paula and Nick are here!!!

Hoda said...

LORI Because it was a collective action from the heart exciting does not quite cover it...words better left unsaid for me...

Sandi said...

LORI, No FB problems for me.

Happy that we have exciting news with Lynne to balance the sad news coming from Blackwater. Watching these cams can be so addictive, so wondrous, and also so heartbreaking. Today's events at Blackwater take me right back to last March at this nest and to last April at NBG!

JO, thanks for the update on LYNN! Maybe she'll hop on the blog later - thinking of you LYNN!! ♥

Sandi said...

Woohoo!! It's LYNNE2!!! Welcome back, girl!! We've all missed you!!

grannyblt said...

Lori, I see your dolphin repost and one other timed an hour ago..

DanaMo said...

O MY I don't watch the Blackwater nest at all, but just jumped over there to read the sad news that everyone has been talking about. That is really too bad and I'm sure they are all very upset like we were last year. So sad, but as we know it is part of nature and it's because of the growing population. Doesn't make it any easier and my heart ♥ goes out to those followers.

Lynne2 said...

Glad to be back! Thanks to you and Paula, WOO HOO

Hoda said...

Yeay LYNNE Welcome back...glad you checked in THANK YOU♥

grannyblt said...

welcome, Lynne

Sandi said...

LYNNE2, I'm just happy that my computer found a new home! I HATE to throw things away - recycling them is always better!!

Lynne2 said...

OMG YOU ARE ALL SUCH LIARS!!!!!!

Lynne2 said...

We are swimming in tears here!

PA Nana said...

Good afternoon everyone.

We love you, Lynne2! Welcome back!!

Sandi said...

WE GOTCHA LYNNE!!! =D

DanaMo said...

☺ ♥ ☺ ♥ ☺ ♥ ☺ ♥ ☺ ♥ ☺ ♥ ☺ ♥

Sandi said...

I'm crying and I'm not even there!!

wvgal_dana said...

:ynne2 happy you have a computer (:

Nap time for me.

JudyEddy said...

Home for lunch and find a new thread when I signed on

NatureNut said...

YEAH, LYNNE! GOOD TO "SEE" YOU!!

Lori O. said...

Welcome Back LYNNE!

JudyEddy said...

LORI So glade my instructions worked and anyone else out there can do the same thing I have had it like that and have had no issues I am just not for sure if all the blogs will change or just the one I will have to go check mine out and do it to all if not I know I did the nest one

Lori O. said...

JUDY, your instructions were great, and it was easy to do. Thanks again.

Lolly said...

Oh, yes, Lynne!!!! Liars we are!!!!LOL We love you and we are so habby to have you back!!!!

Lolly said...

That is so so sad about BW. Intruders are really getting to be a terrible problem. Guard those eggberts, Shep and Belle!!

JudyEddy said...

Just had a AWWW moment with the cats Benny is laying and Jet is licking her and Benny has his eyes closed and off course it only lasted a few min and I did snap a picture Now to start reading the page here

Hoda said...

It is very good what is happening in LYNNE and Steve'S home...THank you PAULA...How are NICK and DAISEY getting on?

Mema Jo said...

I don't mind being a liar for a little bit of time concerning this happy
occasion. Love ya Lynne & Steve!

Who let those dogs out? Which one is
chasing the other one?

Lolly said...

Yes, we are as anxious to hear about the dogs as well as every thing else!!!!

JudyEddy said...

So sad about BW nest and so happy that LYNNE2 is back with us

FOR LYNNE2

Lolly said...

Getting ready to go back to church soon. It is a beautiful afternoon and I noticed I really have some work to do in my garden at church. There is some blown in trash to pick up, some weeds to pull, and the Lantana needs to be cut back. Have mentioned it to Jack and he is agreeable to go now. So go we shall!

JudyEddy said...

FYI I CHECK ALL MY BLOG AND JUST BY CHANGING THE ONE IT MAKES THE COMMENTS THE SAME ON ALL MY BLOGS TOOOO COOL Just thought I would pass that alone to one and all

Lolly said...

Actually, Jo, not much lying. Mostly just half truths!

JudyEddy said...

I worry about our nest with our intruder and the facts that our regal pair left the eggs alone OK someone need to have a sit down talk to our eagles LOL

PA Nana said...

Had to go wipe my tears. God bless us all!!

JudyEddy said...

Yep LOLLY Is right no one lied at all just didn't tell whole story thats all and thats isn't lying in my book

DanaMo said...

So glad to have you back with us Lynne!

Sandi said...

I didn't lie! Well ... maybe just a little distortion of the truth! And for the record, if you plan on eventually telling the truth, it doesn't count as a lie!

Mema Jo said...

BWE - The video is very disturbing as was our video of Patty O Joy. Same
story - INTRUDER. I wonder if the Lady or Lord Blackwater has been injured/chased off? Like our Lib...
Remember that we here at NCTC also have an intruder trying to take over our nest. I am so praying that we have a quiet season - but you never know about Mother Nature. The intruder at BWE
still had some brown feathers on it's head. The same as our present intruder has. Now let's get back to Happy Times with Lynne/Steve...

JudyEddy said...

This is all I needed on top of me starting to get a cold is tears of joy and tear of sadness with BW nest My heart goes out to the regular that what the nest I would look on occasion as I do all the nest

JudyEddy said...

Good logic Sandi I like it ♂♥

JudyEddy said...

Did Paula get video or pic of our surprises????? and wait !!!

JudyEddy said...

Where is the video I must have missed it ??

JudyEddy said...

I found it on thier page sooooo sad Why would another eagle do that

Lolly said...

LOL So excited. I was just outside waiting for Jack. Heard a hawk call just above my head. Looked up, and there it was, maybe 20 feet up. Another hawk flew in, calling, and then......HP HP HP! I laughed outloud!

JudyEddy said...

the youtube video says it was one of the parents I see a dirty head on the bird also

Lolly said...

We do not called this place Hawkwood for nothing!☺

JudyEddy said...

Ok time for me to head back to work 150 is when I punched out

Sandi said...

JUDY, the video was on my FB not long ago. There's also a link to it on the cam site.

Sadly, as JO pointed out, we have the same potential. Why were both eagles off the eggs for 30 minutes today? Something was surely up. Eagle populations have increased - good news. But their habitat has dwindled - bad news. And so there is competition for the existing nests and nesting places.

It would be nice if we could say, "Hey, this nest had its share of hardship last nesting season, so they're entitled to a break!" Sadly, life doesn't work that way - not for eagles and not for people!

NatureNut said...

Some comments on my pics need answers. I use 2 cameras~~~my Sony that's like Paula's for closer shots, but about 2 years ago, got a Nikon w/lots more zoom.(Eagles made me do it☺) Learned the hard way, that more zoom can cause some blurry pics & you should really use the tripod. That's not practical with critters who may be moving & you have little time.
The sunlight makes a big difference as you can see in the nest shots. I hold my breath & try to brace camera, push the button & pray for something somewhat clear.I almost crop every picture as much as I can if it's not too blurry, that's why they'll look like an even closer close up.The PM nest is the worst---sun is to left and behind nest. I can lighten some darker areas in photo programs. I am not a cam techie at all like Glo, Bob, etc.I don't know an f stop from a Stop sign! I just shoot and pray and edit!
That's enough Photo 101!!

Hoda said...

Yes very upsetting video JO on the Blackwater nest.

I will wait before I jump to any conclusions as to why the eggs in this nest were left untended today...it seems odd, but I am afraid I am jumping to conclusions because I am upset about Blackwater and fearful that it might happen here too...

Hoda said...

Someone is flying over the nest. Belle puts up her head and vocalizes. SHe gets off the vup and flies off.Eggs untended

Sandi said...

EAGLE in - NOT SURE WHO YET! OK, SHEP!

Hoda said...

Shep lands on the railing and looks up towards the camera and approaches the eggs....all is well

Sandi said...

This whole Blackwater thing and coming home from tennis to see an MT nest for 30 minutes has me on edge today! But all looks good in Shepherdstown!

carolinabeachmom said...

Hey there Lynne. Glad to see that you are back on the blog with all your friends. You have been missed by all.

Again, hoping that we have a good year at our nest this year. So sorry for BW

Prayers still going out to you Lynn<3

Just woke from much needed nap.

See Lynne2 comment. lol gal we haven't told any lies....I just did not speak about it.(((((((hugs to Lynn2 and Steve))))))))

Judie said...

Welcome back, Lynne2. Enjoy!

Lolly said...

Back from church. Prayer garden looks 100% imptoved. Forgot to take broom or blower, hopefully the wind will do a little clean up. Next I will need to take some mulch to the garden but will wait a little.

See that Lynne has not been back on. I am sure they are outside letting the dogs run! More fun!

Lolly said...

Heading out into my own yard now! Ta Ta!

Linda said...

LYNNE - Welcome Back, Girl!!

We have missed you terribly!! Hope you're as happy as we all are today enjoying the fruits of the Spirit!!

We love you.....in case you were wondering!!

LYNN - Thinking and praying for you today!

So sorry about the news at BWE. That is always difficult to hear.

No time to visit with you fine feathered friends today, but hopefully will be able to check in this evening and chat more with Lynne. Lynne has a lot of blogging catch up to do.

Yes, her name is LYNNE, and her favorite color is CLEAR!! Love it!!

So happy you are back with us! God is Good......all the time!

DanaMo said...

Wonder if this race is ever going to get underway.

Kay said...

Good Afternoon ! Happy to see Shep on the egg cup, especially after reading about the concerns earlier. Doubly tense because of sadness at BWE.

LYNNE2, it's a thrill for all of us to "see" you again ♥ ! Many thanks to PAULA and Nick for their expert delivery service ! ♫♪ We are family ! ♪♪♫

Kay said...

WANDA, happy to hear the swelling is going down and that PT is going so well !

CAROLYN aka JEWELS, hope your dear Mom kept those pecan wheels down and pleased to know you, Charlie and the girls are with her today !

LYNN, hope you can feel the love and prayers. We're with you and look forward to your feeling good enough to blog very soon !

ANDY, wahoo on the ink find. I loved my Fry's store in Tucson.

LINDA, loved all that "sweet talk" of yesterday. Do you know where I can find a Sugar Free Maple syrup tree ? Log Cabin won't sell me any of theirs ! ☺

SHARON, that's an elegant pant suit ! Good choice and practical for re-use. Nice to have it and the new dress for those special wedding events !

LORI, glad Ann's happily installed with Kate's sister. Caring for someone with special needs would not be easy for a 90 year old. I'm sure they were all glad to have your help with the move !

Shep seems a little up tight right now.

Judie said...

Jo, beautiful eagle owl at Pete's Pond right now. Good zoomie.

wvgal_dana said...

Our eggs are uncovered but eagle in tree.

NatureNut said...

Race Fans~~~just heard the Daytona treack is almost dry, rain is gone & they will end up having a night race! I just love the noise! LOL
Gonna start din din preps..something I can chew w/my little bit loose "permanent" bridge! HA--lied and took my $$$$$. And I used to like the dentist!

Kay said...

Shep had a two hour stint and must have felt the need for a change ! Belle in charge now.

Kay said...

LORETTA, thanks for the Daytona update. NasCAR is going to give OsCAR a run for it's money tonight ! Yeah ! I'll take racing over an awards ceremony any day of the week !!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Oh no Loretta your bridge it loose. Boy what kind of dentist is this guy???

WV sUSAn said...

So very sad about BWE. RIP little chick and hope the very best for the remaining chick and parents.

Agree with comments above... it's nature... good to see eagle population growing... so sad to see this outcome.

LYNNE2 welcome back. We are ALL so vey thrilled you have a computer and hope the Momster/Dadster conglomerate has put a BIG SMILE on your faces. Sometimes, it takes a village...

A little word from Belle, she is watching something. Calling out now.

WV sUSAn said...

Quiet again

NatureNut said...

New Race News. Been cancelled--run tomorrow. (I won't have to wear earmuffs!!!LOL)

Kay said...

Just had a nice chat with son, Lee, as he waited for his flight from Phoenix SkyHarbor to Newark International. He's been attending an Anthropolgy Seminar out there for a few days. Last night he and a couple of collegues were invited to attend a meeting of a bunch of Phoenix Fat Cats. Another Anthro prof was speaking and showing slides of a recent trip. When it ended Lee noticed Hugh Downs was among the guests. He says he watched as Hugh and wife got into their Mercedes and zoomed off. He reports that the 91year old is mighty perky and spry ! I miss him being on the air !

Kay said...

Oh, phooey ! I was looking forward to an evening of racing. Will be able to watch tomorrow, however. Do you know what time coverage will begin, LORETTA ?

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Did you all hear my man, Pat Monahan, sing the National Anthem. He nailed it!!!! :)

Kay said...

Heading to the pantry to see what's gonna be cookin'. Then on to TV and a quiet Sunday evening. Hope you all have a good one and a restful night. Prayers going out for LYNN and all in need ! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Lynne2 said...

whew. OK, I'm composed now. I have just finished reading a stack of beautiful cards!

Words cannot express the emotions Steve and I have right now. I don't know when I have ever been so surprised, or felt so blessed. You people are AMAZING! I don't know how to ever thank you for what you have done for us. You can't even imagine what this means for us, this incredible thing you have done..... I wish you all could have been here with us so we could thank each of you in person with HUGS HUGS and MORE HUGS! It feels so inadequate to send this message of thanks. It's just not enough!

WV sUSAn said...

Belle does the egg roll and boogey on down.

Sandi said...

LYNNE2, saying thanks is ALL that is needed! No one was pressured or coerced - every single person who made a contribution to help you and Steve did so b/c we wanted to. I've only been part of this group for a few months, yet already, I know this is what Momsters do. They are there for one another - whether it's with rent money, with prayers, with encouragement, with well-wishes, or with a shoulder to cry on.

SHARON says it best, "We came for the eagles, but we stayed for the friendships we've made!" It's great to have you back online with us!

WV sUSAn said...

LYNNE2 I am so blessed to be a part. We do things for others all the time but THIS is so special. Your words bring me to that moment and I'm so happy to hear your smile. HUGS

WV sUSAn said...

SANDI, well said :-)

Lynne 2 and Steve....we love you and we loved doing this for you after all we are family....

Lynne2 and Steve I already met you and know the wonderful couple you are. I was happy to be part of this wonderful idea. You are loved and apart of us. We are to be (1) that means if (1) has troubles we help each other. We together; laugh, pray, hug, enjoy watching the eagles and eggs, love each other, share, and most of all forgive. "I am happy I came to watch the eagles but found many friends."

We are B A C K!
I post with mixed emotions. So disheartened by Lynn's email news.

Yet so happy for Lynne & Steve!

Had exceeded the speed limit on reading the blog to catch up. Many things to comment on but may let them pass.

Travel was great - we headed there before the storms and came back a day early to beat the next storm. Sat (day of eagle program) was the only really nice day - sunny & great temps.

A couple of "unfortunates" about the weekend. 1) all the spokepeople said due to the mild winter the eagles were not in attendance as in previous years - only saw a dozen or so together at any one time as compared to the 50 -60 in the past. 2) I'm lousy as a photographer lol, and my zoom lens did not arrive here until after we left. So most shots are wee distant photos. But the experience was unbelieveable.

Have general eagle pics and another set of "Angel", the eagle at the presentation pn blog. That was worth the whole weekend!!!

Still have some landscape, etc pics to post.

Hugs to Lynne & Steve, double hugs to you all, and triple hugs to Lynn.

Sure did miss this place!!

I sent BWE Lisa a personal ecard of support and she said: "I know the NCTC folks can understand what we're going through.
Forgive me if this is a repeat: BOTH parents returned to the nest - they will turn the cam on tomorrow if the surviving chick is still alive. The other chick appears to be dead and is slowly getting buried in the nest material . . .

I began in 2006 when I could not even drive to the nest visit along the roadway. My wonderful husband "Ed" drove me. Stayed and when there was Open House. He drove me to it and stayed and then stayed for the dinner. Being the 1st eagle Dadster that came to things. This is my group and I will never leave it. I have wonderful Eaglet_Momster memories with my wonderful husband. The small group at that time had a ball with Ed and would tease him. He enjoyed each one of the women and respected them. ♥♥

IRENE, thanks for the word that both BWE parents have been seen at the nest today.

CAROLANNE, glad you had a great time! The photos in your memories will stay forever; there probably isn't a camera made that could capture the awesomeness of what you witnessed this weekend!
