«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 538 Newer› Newest»In comes Shep and looks around do I eat or do I roost? He walks towards the cup...did he step on them? Oh my he settles down...looked like he stepped on one!!! Did anyone else see that?
Hoda...don't we all wish we were there!!!
Yes indeed LOLLY!!!
I missed Belle's departure and see that Shep is now "baby sitting". Did he make any effort to feed ?
Well, Good Afternoon!
Nice to see so many here this fine afternoon!!
Beautiful day, here today!
I am thinking I really should be outside. The weather is so nice and we have storms coming. HOWEVER, I want to be here right now.
No effort what so ever to feed the babes.
:)
He might not even realize they need to eat.
Come on, Shep. It is not so hard.
SHIRLEY, I agree. I remember the day of the first hatch. When that egg broke apart, Shep looked down and then around like he couldn't figure out what he was looking at!
He just thought he was going to keep sitting on those eggs forever. Little did he know what was inside them.
He has so much to learn.
Surely instinct will kick in soon for Shep ! The Columbus pair both had a number of black feathers left on their heads when they set up housekeeping in 2010 and they successfully raised one that year. Guess Mother Nature helped one or both of them figure things out. It was thought to be the first year possible for either of them to mate, due to the feather clue.
SHARON - so sorry about Nila's passing....
We all know she is in paradise with Jesus now!
You were such a good friend to her and I am glad you saw her just a couple days ago!
You dear people have totally shocked me with your sweet kindness and generosity............I am speechhless and overwhelmed. THANK YOU seems so inaadequate but thank you with all my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what else to say! And what a great group of VISITORS!!!!!! Love you all!
He knows he is supposed to sit on them, but . . .
I think Shep thinks he is feeding them by osmosis!!!LOL!!!
We LOVE you back LYNN. You are the BEST!!!
We love you very much, Lynn. You are welcome.
LYNN, enjoy your visit! And make sure those girls still take you to lunch!!! ♥
LYNN -Sounds like you have some special visitors to join you for lunch!! Have fun and enjoy your afternoon out! You deserve it! xoxo
Well, he can't be nursing them! He needs to watch Belle a little more closely.
SHIRLEY - LOL! =D
Yea! Lynn, we are there is spirit with you and the others!!!! Love you!♥ And love your visitors!♥
LYNN, you've made our day ! Now go enjoy that lobster ! ♥♥♥
FUNNY SHIRLEY!!!
Okay, now I can get up and try to accomplish a few things. LOL
Later!!!
jump
DARN I was stuck at 200 for like 20 mins and didn't get over here when I wanted to BUT Lynn We love you. Hope your afternoon is very special indeed.
Kathryn has Hunter and his friend Ryan and they are out banging on trees, trying to attract Bigfoot. I asked her what she would do if a big, hairy critter comes out of the woods. She said they would be haulin' outta there.
So Shep drags away the latest fresh catch to feed himself, while dragging flugg caught in his talons. He buried one of the babes. Okay, this is getting serious. Someone is going to have to clue in Shep on his responsibilities!!!
♥
Ahhhh., the little one had popped up out of the flugg. Look at them looking at dad. Come on Shep!!!!
I have mopped the floors and now to head out!
GLO, I was stuck behind 200 with you. We're never alone on here!
I am off to a wholisitic Wellness talk...
See you all later.
Enjoy Hoda! I love that stuff. Tell us about it when you get back.
Why in heck does Shep think he is bringing all of those fish to the nest?
Figure it out, you silly eagle!
Good Point, Shirley!!
Maybe he knows he is supposed to be the provider......but not the feeder??
Got a bee man coming to my house tomorrow. He will probably want to go into my closet because that is the only access point to the attic, where the nest might be.
Not thrilled about a bunch of men traipsing through my closet, but I don't want bees in the attic, either.
LOL Lori Thanks for the chuckle.
Well maybe Shep comes from a traditional eagle family and he is doing his job oR maybe he had a single Mama and only was fed from her. He is certainly doing an excellent job at providing and Belle seems to know she is the feeder right now. He lets her have the fresh fish with no problem. He really might be nervous about how small and wobbly they are and lets say he isn't so good with those talons so maybe none of us are quite ready for the beak to beak with our little ones.
It's really impossible to be angry with him b/c it's not like he is being greedy or mean. He truly doesn't see feeding as "his job." Unless he's up in the tree watching, I haven't even seen him stick around in the nest long enough to watch Belle feed the chicks. And he is doing such a super job of delivering fish for Belle and the babes! And, he did a super job of incubating the eggs. What he "sees" as his responsibility, he does just fine with.
WHEW, finally back! The antivirus detected a threat and dealt with it, but it advised a Boot scan, whatever that is, and it took FOREVER!!
I see Lynn was heading to lunch ;)
LYNNE2, are you using the Avast that i installed or another antivirus? I have found Avast to do a pretty good job for a free download.
AH.....was stuck on the other side of 200 but I see that Lynn has had her visitors!!! YAY!!
Shep Is a first time Dad in process and overall he really is doing very well.
On 3/15, I emailed a neighbor who is responsible for watching one of our nearby osprey nests. I let jay know that the ospreys had returned to Blackwater. he said he would check his nest this weekend. Just got an email from him that said:
I went and visited the nest today and after watching an empty nest for awhile, an osprey flew on to the nest !!!! I didn't see the other one ..yet probably around ...
So, the ospreys have returned to South Bethany! =)
yes Sandi, using the Avast!
wow Sandi, SPRING HAS SPRUNG for sure!
Now, my thoughts are with Chrissy.....I know how frantic with exception she is, about Isla.
LYNNE2, who is Chrissy and who is Isla?
Belle has returned. And Shep is off!
Shep poofed within 5 seconds of when Belle landed!
Sandi, Chrissy is our Momster in England. She rarely posts on the blog these days. She faithfully has watched an amazing Osprey at Loch of Lowes, her name is Isla. She is called the Lady of the Loch, and is about 26 years old. She has nested there for something like 20 years, and has laid 60 eggs! She is a natural phenom. Year before last, she got sick, but she recovered and returned last year and laid a clutch. All fans are anxiously awaiting to see if this amazing bird will return once again.
Any guesses where Shep went :-)
She has not yet returned, but it is still a little early
Sandi, Chrissy is a Momster who lives in England. She communicates mostly by e-mail. Ilsa is a senior citizen Scottish osprey greatly loved by Chrissy. We were surprised that Ilsa made it back from her trip to Africa last year. She's really getting up in years.
uh, gee.....FISHING??? LOL!
Lynne has many more details about Ilsa than I do.
Feeding time. Good view!
Happy to see that Shep did no harm when it seemed like he bowled one of the babes over ! They look so good !
He's back LOL Fresh Fish for dessert
And Shep arrives - with a fish that is still wiggling! That boy can fish!!
Off to the grocery store for me. BBL!
Getting ready to head home...will check in later
Happy chick viewing!
Here's another fish, Honey, and it's tail is still flappin' !
Well this guy does make me laugh. its fun to laugh at the nest this year. :-) TY Shep
"What do you mean everybody is full?"
Uh oh! Both parents calling out!!
Oh, oh, they are seeing something they don't like.
Ok I don't like it when they both look out and start calling argh
They were both yelling at something!!!
Finally got to read and find out where we are!
Sharon, so sad for you about Nila. But she is in a better place and you were a great comfort for her.
What? Lynn has a lunch date?!!!!Bless you, Lynn & if it's lobster, I want the doggy bag!!!! ☺ ♥
Hmmmm, what's going on here?
Love the avatar Loretta...how do you do that?
At least they are both there in case something happens.
"Someone" must have their eye on that pantry full of fish. Pretty cheeky to get close when two very large birds are at home !
Is that the freshest fish in front of Shep?
could be...it's the least mutilated!
Yeh, how bout that LORETTA ! LYNN having a bite to eat with her dear daughters and a couple of other friends popped in for good measure ! So glad she's feeling up to visiting and EATING !
poof Shep
Yes, that's the latest slender fish--it was still putting up a fight until just a couple of minutes ago. The larder is full !
Hi. Lynne, Lots of copy & paste! I had fixed it up w/shamrocks to replace other one , but that day is over, so added daffodils I just saw at Chelsea. I have to study the difference between Jonquil, daffodils and narcissus. They're all the same to me!
Hi Loretta!!!
Just sent you another email.....and the avatar just above me isn't the one I was talking about.
Now we both have different ones!!
I don't know if Google is messing with me or what....
xoxo
I'm supposed to be hard at work.....
But I have to tell Kay...
it is so great to see you on the blog!
You have been missed by this momster....
and many others.....
Thank you, LINDA ! It's good to feel up to watching and blogging ! Your prayers and those of so many others are key to the solutions that are being found. I♥U !
Feeding time again and Belle did go for the most recent catch, as she always seems to do. "They" say eagles have little or no sense of smell, but she somehow knows where the "sell by date" is imprinted !
Seems one eaglet is full as a tick and sleeping while the other is being fed. Kind of nice when they aren't fighting each other for every bite. They'll do plenty of that just a little later.
Thinking of PAULA and hoping for safe travel as she leaves Paradise !
LOL it's fish. By Jove I think we really can hear them coming now. These are not your average "clicker fish".
Yummy--three day old fish.
It's funny you said that, Kay!
I have a southern friend that says something to that effect when she is full after a meal. She says, "I'm tight as a tick!"
Too funny! ♥
Lively little fuzz balls there.
LOL, LINDA ! I was raised by a Texan and an Okie in Arizona and have lived my adult life in Ohio, Florida and Arizona. I'm a linguistic mess !
Shep is spending his day on the run. Wonder when Belle will decide it's his turn to sit n' brood ? Funny how she decided that last fish had her name on it, grabbing it quickly and placing it in the 1 spot pantry.
She's sitting right on one of the old fishies--it's sticking out from under her left wing. Looks uncomfortable for me--for her, not the fish !
LOL, Kay!!
I guess I am, too!! Born in Boston, raised in Louisiana and Florida......
and now here in PA!!
I remember when I moved from LA to FL, they thought I was crazy the way I talked. What is wrong with saying, "I'm fixing to go out now??"
My so called friends would say to me, "What are you fixin' to do now??
Grrrr
I think I am finally broken of that one!!
I'm fixin' to get back to work now, y'all!!
That was another one that was really hard to break!! Why does every one else say "you guys??"
Not a thing, LINDA ! I like "I'm fixin"---I've heard it most often in Texas or outta the mouth of a Texan.
good grief, ANOTHER FISH?????
Belle grabs it an runs....Shep poofed
feeding the babies, they don't seem terribly hungry a the moment
Or, youse guys ? I still use y'all. Too old to change now !
I dearly love regional accents and dialects myself. Though I must admit I bristle a bit at "I'm going to warsh my clothes--heard here in Southern Ohio. ☺
Tornado warning, sirens screaming, taking cover. Later.....
OMG KAY! Stay safe!!!
Home from work and I see someone is trying to peek out from under BELLE tooo cute
Prayers that everything is okay, KAY!!
Batten down those hatches and GOOD ON YOU for shutting down.
Stay safe...... ♥
I just lost my cam spinning circle but got it back right away
KAY stay safe I just read backwards ok now to go read the other way
WOW lots of fish deliverys 6 according to Debseagles1 and her youtube video I put the ones I did on facebook
Maybe Shep is a old fashion eagle thinking the woman does the feeding and he brings home the gurb LOL
SHIRLEY have the check out the walls also we use to get them in teh concret block of the house right around where the oil came in to the house
PammySue and Nilla are still missing from the blog this year I wonder they will pop in to say hi to the eagles
Sharon, so sad for you about Nila
Howdy Y'all!! LOL I say y'all but I seldom type it. I also fix supper, but when typing I see it and change it. LOL I have a terrible Texas twang. Do not hear it except when I am with "yankees".☺ I was born in Texas and raised in Texas and only lived in 3 towns. One town my first 18 years, then Fort Worth and now Burleson. That is more than you ever wanted to know, I am sure!
Ahhh good view of Belle feeding.
She is so gentle and when she sees the bit of fish is too big she eats it herself.
So, have you ever heard of Jonesin'??
Like, I'm Jonesin' for cup of coffee? or
I'm Jonesin' to catch up?
I have the coffee, read the blog and headed to some emailing..
Thinking of Lynn♥
Wow, Neat Post! I hope she got her "hankerin" for Seafood and Biscuits taken care of !
xixi ☺
and I just closed out the live feed by mistake :(
and IE has shut down twice since I've been on, might have a struggle on my hands here...
xo back soon...
Looks like she was trying to reach the fish and couldn't
Lolly
I have a "Howdy Y'all" T-shirt,
Big yellow Smiley Face, with a blue Ten-gallon hat and red bandana!
from my brother Fred when he lived in Houston ☺
okay, I think I said emails....
Hi Margy ♥
Can't say I have heard of Jonesin!!
Have now, though.....
DANAMO check your reg email I sent you a couple of pic to consider
Gonna go see where my dinner is.....
BBL
Well, the sunlight is fading on the nest and sadly, GLO, Shep did not learn how to feed the chicklets today. Belle needs to have a come to Jesus meetin' with that boy!! (that's one that I've learned since living in Sussex County, DE!!)
The babes are getting plenty to eat, though, and seem to be growing before our very eyes!!
Hoping that LYNN had a great meal at Red Lobster! ♥
SHARON, more prayers for you that your heart will hurt just a little less tomorrow.
Also, prayers for KAY and DIANN to get relief from their pain, for Charlie that he is soon well enough for his gall bladder surgery, and for Steve, his mom, and his sister Wendy!
There is a little gray fuzzball peeking out from under Belle! How cute is that??
Good evening, dear frriends. KINDLE IS CHARGING!! Trying to use it but awwkward angle while plugged in so going to laptop for now. BBIAM.
And there's our LYNN now!! Hey LYNN, how was your meal??
♥
I use that expression all the time. I was jonesin for pizza Margy and I got some! Yum
That thing is so cool! Gonna take me a little whilel to get accustomed to it, but can't wait to learn it and use it fully! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WONDERFUL GIFT.
We ALL went out for dinner at RL and had a great time. I am worn out, but it's the good kind!!!!!
I love you all so much and can't begin to express it.
WOW is all I can say right now.
Will send emails to you tomorrow.
Going to go get my bath now. BBIALW!
Meal was great, Sandi, thanks!!!!
I love my Kindle Lynn!
Good good evening!
I am trying to find you before I start talking..............
BELLE IS UP
SHE LOOKED LIKE SHE COVERED THEM UP AGAIN
I am back from an interesting workshop and some wonderful sharing of stories with the women in the session.
She kept repeating that we must show up to our lives and that every thing starts from a thought so watch the thoughts which lead to feelings which lead to actions which lead to results...
It was interesting LORI and worth listening to but a lot of it is work that needs to be done with an active group of like minded people.
Belle just backed off from the chicks...one is not moving at all...oh there it is now moving and trying to put its head up.
Enough food in the nest would say!!!
I gues she is hungry or waiting for them oh they are waking up
Back briefly. Can still hear thunder in the distance and am worn out due to the angst such warnings cause. Pea to ping pong ball size hail reported with a few miles, but we fared okay here. Authorities are checking some reports of a tornado touch down in Upper Arlington. It's southwest of me about 5 miles and where I lived from 1970-1981.
LYNN, so happy to hear you had a great day with the girls and friends ! A good kind of tired, indeed ! Hmmm, good meal, too !
she looks undecided what to do eat or what
she acts like she want to poof
and she did left
OH NO!!! POOF BELLE!!! CHicks untended
is she expecting Shep to sit on them tonight
SHEP LANDS
She was watching something in the skies...in comes Shep
OK NOW WHAT
SHEP IS GOING TO EAT
there he goes towards the cup...no past the cup and on to the fresh fish to eat. up on the railing at ten and is looking around the nest...If he is not going to feed the chicks please sit on them!!!
ONE THEM HE GOES
LITE ON
OK here he goes...colour is off.
Shep is roosting.
I RECOREDED THE LAST 6 MIN GOING TO UPLOAD
SHEP EATING AND IN BELLE
SO SWEET
LIKE THEY ARE TALKING SWEET I AM RECORDING ALSO
FAMILY DINNER TOGETHER IT SEEMS
ONE ON EACH END OF NEST EATING
LIKE A FEEDING FRINZEY EAT EAT
BELLE IS GOING BACK TO THE CUP
In comes Belle and finds Shep eating...poor chap had really just gotten off the chicks. SHe goes to where he is eating and take a fish away and he is still eating though...little vocalizing...now Belle is eating and chicks are hardly distinguished in the cuponly when the move...Belle goes towards them and is about to roost. Shep is still eating.
Will be praying for all in need.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Going to close off today with a silly poem and profound apologies to the late, great, Dr. Seuss.
One fish
Two fish
White fish
Gray fish.
Thin fish
Fat fish
Old fish
New fish.
This one has a little mold
That should have been kept cold
Say, a lot of fish this nest'll hold !
Bon apetite` Belle, Shep n' babes !
Very good to see LYNN posting and THANK YOU LYNN...Glad your lunch was very good...Red Lobster, delicious...
SHEP IS STILL EATING AT 6 AND SHE IS ON CUP
Stay safe KAY...Thank you for the poem.
LOVE IT KAY ♥☺♥♂♥
DMO, I am getting a Kindle Fire for my Mother's Day/early birthday gift. When we go to Tanzania this summer, I don't want to lug a laptop but want to have something that will allow me to read, surf the web, and check and send emails. Brian bought Lynnis a Kindle Fire for Christmas so i got to play with hers just a bit. Thought about an ipad but don't want to pay the price, even though the ipad2 has just dropped $100, now that the ipad3 is out.
THEY ARE TALKING HUH
Great Poem, Kay...you are so sharp about finding these things!
Hope the weather stabilizes...
Hi Lynn
Wow....! Cool Device...
Hope you can see the Nest but not all those older fish, the fresher ones are OK !
POOF SHEP
SHE WATCHE AS HE FLYS OFF
OK GONNA GO UPLOAD THE VIDEO I DID TONIGH ON YOUTUBE AND FB
P.S., Seth just called. Lightning struck a house behind them. Not completely distroyed, but heavy damage. Neighbors on the street behind are taking care of the residents and their needs. He says their own street was flowing like a river as we got an inch and a quarter in less than an hour. I'm on a hill and can see no problems here. Whew ! Too close for comfort. Sorry to say this weather system is heading southeast out of here. Keep your weather radios on, your eyes to the sky and your ears open for sirens if they have them in your area ! Love y'all ! ☺
Kay!! Great Dr. Seuss work on the fish ☺
Holy Smokes, (bad choice of words I guess) Kay, but gee monnee...
close call, glad that the phones were not knocked out and that Seth could call you...
and no injuries....
Bath was good and played a little ball with Liesl. So glad I already had her crated before the wonderful entourage arrived.....she would have driven everyone crazy!!
Wow, Kay, so glad everyone is okay. Scary, to say the least. So sorry for the damage to the house near Seth/Julie/Hugh.
Time for some sofa lovin' with Liesl. The Good Wife will be delayed but not sure by how much. Think I'll nap a bit, too.
See you later to say goodnight!
So happy you had a happy celebration with your girls and friends, Lynn!
I hope it helped lift your spirits! You've been so sick lately and it is good to hear some excitement in your voice again......
xoxoxo
...
Okay !
Enjoy your evening, Lynn, so good to See You ☺
xoxo ♥
Hoping that Charlie is settling into his new room for the night....and that the doctors and nurses treat him like Royalty !
xo ttfn xo
me too back to say Good Night in a bit....
?
So glad today went well. Everything went smooth, and accordingly. Many thanks, and much love to all!!! Am at the hospital now, will try to catch up when we get home and I get the kids settled... Xoxo
How is Charlie doing tonight?
Will look for your report and tell Charlie we are praying for him!
Thinking of CHARLIE CAROLYN...I hope he has a restful sleep.
ok evening check in
Howdy all!
Just got home...feeding Nick, then off to watch the Good Wife in a few minutes...will have to catch up later...
Hello Irene, Shirley, Glo and Hoda
Aha, I see Lynn got her surprise! ☺
Poor Nick is so pooped! He normally runs out the back door to go out...just walked real slow!
Guess Nick will sleep good tonight!
Glad you made it home safely, PAULA!
Short nap! Looks like TGW will start about 9:40-45 EDT.
Liesl nipped me!!! By accident. While I was trying to get her lap blanket adjusted, she got caught under it, and couldn't find her way out! Scared her!! No open wound, just a bruise!!
Gotta tell you all that WANDA is amazing!!! She even danced a little jig. Her knee looks wonderful and she does not limp one bit!!!!!
Liesl probably felt badly, LYNN!!
Great to hear Wanda is doing so well, too!!
Amazing, isn't it?
Kay thank you for the Dr Seuss reading - It certainly fits for our nest. That lightning strike and the flooding is
something horrific -
Spending this afternoon with Lynn and her daughters was very delightful.
I am sure we did play her out as the
chairs at RL were hard as rocks.I am going to get a soft pillow next time we go (One for me too)
Lynn got her Lobster! And she'll have half of it for lunch tomorrow.
So wonderful you were all able to get together for lunch together!!
Sounds like a lot of fun was had!!
I have been on the phone talking with Andy!! How cool is that?!! We are getting together Friday for lunch. Picture taking went well today for them. She will be on the blog later this evening. She said to tell everyone hi!
I am signing off for the night y'all! =) LYNN, good to see you on the blog tonight. Hope your days get better and better!! Enjoy your new toy!
JEWELs, thanks for the update on Charlie.
Picturing Wanda dancing a little jig! Maybe it's time for these: =)
Dancing Shoes for Wanda
Goodnight my eagle friends! See y'all in the morning! Hoping for a fog delay for me!
Lynn, so happy for you that you had a great day today. You were long overdue for a fun filled, joyous day.
Even with you own personal padding....those wooden chairs get pretty hard after a while!!
I may be at the end of the split or maybe the beginning.
Either way.....we see you Lynne1!!
Split!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love my Kindle, too. However, it is old hat now. I want a Kindle Fire!!!!
LYNN thank you for the report on WANDA and how well she is doing...she got up and did a jig you said...AWESOME simply AWESOME...I was impressed enough when she saqid she went out to walk in the woods with no cane...good on you WANDA.
