Thanks Steve for the new thread! I'll go get the others.

Lori O. said...

Where is everyone? Guess I'll try to take a nap and catch up on sleep that I didn't get last night.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks for the call over Lori
Love your avatar

Thank Steve for the fresh new thread

I had just finished ready the older
thread's comments. At least I have had
my coffee......

Mema Jo said...

If I just finished "ready" the older thread I think I need another cup of
coffee so I can keep Reading.. lol

Lolly said...

Thanks for the call over and thanks to Steve for the new thread.

Now it is time to start my day. Jack is already heading out...I need to eat and get out there myself.

Have a great day!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Well, sure they are growing like weeds. They get stuffed about 20 times a day! :)

Mema Jo said...


Mason's update




Cornell's Blue Heron cam


Lynne had brought this over - I just saw the beautiful white egg when they
made a switch! Fantastic

Sandi said...

Thanks Steve for the new thread - our posts are growing like weeds, just like our eaglets!! Thanks Lori, for the call over.

Hope Jerry "finds" us today when he's finished fishing! And hope he catches as many as Shep!!

Back to work - just wanted to get subscribed! TTFN!

Mema Jo said...

Whatever that fluttering thingy is at
the top of the cam - drives you crazy
Very distracting.... I may need to
send Wanda over there to get it
off!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Sandi, I had already subscribed you. Didn't know if you were around! Shouldn't have jumped the gun, huh?

magpie said...

Well Hello
you all are way ahead of me, this is my first trip to the Blog since last night!

Thinking of Lynn♥

going to go read what's on the old thread....before this bright spanking new thread was woven
Thanks Steve &
Thanks Lori for the alert

magpie said...

I am waiting for the cam to time out and go still so I can "study" it, Jo

Sandi said...

Thanks, Sharon! I♥U! When I clicked on Subscribe, I got a message that I was already subscribed - we must have been on the same wavelength at the same moment - SCARY thought!! =)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Lost my cam and can't get it back.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Back now. Seems like the wind would blow off whatever that is on the cam!

Sandi, I♥U too!

Mema Jo said...

I lost my cam - closed it down and
brought it back up fresh/ ok now.

Still cam is still stuck

Mema Jo said...

Shep is protecting little ones from the wind. I thought they were asleep but
there they are - up and out.

Love it that they are getting gray
feathers...

Mema Jo said...

Shep got up and headed right for the
Food Bank at 5:00 - I mean the
Fish Bank! lol

JudyEddy said...

just got back Had no power they were working on a a transformer

Mema Jo said...

Judy - who had NO Power

magpie said...

well I lost the cam too
just as well I don't have time for it right now anyway

xoxox

NatureNut said...

Happy, sunny, windy Thursday! Been watching the nest and Shep was digging in the bowl and chicklets were up on the edge.Hope he finishes so they can get out of the wind.They are growing like weeds!
Yes the "flapper" is a little annoying.Must be some debris stuck on a Spidey web strand.
Got stuff to do around here & go to store.
Good day to all, especially Lynn ☺ ♥

Mema Jo said...

I think it may soon be time to zoom the cam back a bit.... Can't see how close
to the edge out little ones are getting

Mema Jo said...

DMO Just saw Andrew's picture on FB
What a milestone it is turning 21.
Congratulation Mom and Dad ♥

Mema Jo said...

We have 2 adults n the nest...

I don't think Shep wants to go out
in the wind.

Mema Jo said...

Off into the wind goes Shep begrudgingly.
Belle on the rail at 11

Little ones hunkered down snoozing

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Food but not a fish.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Next weekend, April 7, is Andrew and Kelsey's wedding shower for the folks in the Charleston area. We are going to have them one here in May. Andrew wants to be there to help open presents! :) They registered at Walmart, Elder Beerman and Royal Caribbean.

Mema Jo said...

I like the groom to be and the father to be right there getting in on the fun

Well the thingy on the top of our cam is gone. Guess it just blew away.

Egg cup sure looks deep.

Mema Jo said...

Taking a break

Lunch

BBL

hedgie said...

Girls are both on their way, so see you all later today!

Janet said...

JudyEddy said...

WOW 25 comment since the new thread Everyone else must had done what I did FELL ASLEEP WITH JORDYN TAKIN A NAP

HI SIS so sad LIV is poorly and congrats to her
So nice you are helping John

Lori O. said...

Jo, thanks for the Blue Heron cam link. I got some great pics of one
at the beach last summer. They are gorgeous!

WVJerry said...

Looks like my fishing plans are a "no go". Can't get my son motivated, would take my wife along but she's got to babysit and I don't want to go by myself. Got some work to do around house anyways. Looks really windy at nest. Might sound kinda dumb but it looks like the eaglets could either blow out or fall out especially if unattended. We'll try and get out fishing Saturday and Sunday. Playing golf tomorrow and my wife and I are going to get my paycheck and hit some thrift stores. That's become our hobby lately. Take care and enjoy the cam and blog. I'll check back in Saturday for sure.

Lori O. said...

Jerry, sorry you've missed out on your
fishing plans...good thoughts that you'll get to go this weekend. Keep an eye out for Shep when you do.

Glad you're the kind of guy that likes to go
Thrift Store shopping with your wife! Sounds fun.

JudyEddy said...

Shame you didn't get to go fishing JERRY

magpie said...

Wonder what plans Lynn, Carolyn and Christie have in store!
Hope it includes some yummy chow and some comfortable times...
xoxox ☺

Hello Afternoon Eagle Pals...

Well JERRY, try again another day....good to see you pop on again today....

magpie said...

We have a few thrift store fans here ourselves, Welcome !!!

Judie said...

Hi all,

Robyn, great news about Tori. Nothing like having the "old" self back.

Lynn, glad to see you say you are feeling good this morning. Hope that continues through the day.

Not sure why but congratulations to and hope Livvy feels better.

Happy Birthday to Andrew.

Lori O. said...

DanaMo, I saw Andrew's pic on FB, but didn't
know it was his big day until I read it on here.
Happy 21 years, Mom and Andrew!

JudyEddy said...

YEP thrift store fan Jordyn and I stop and she got two cabbage patch dolls a small fairy angle one and a reg size one both 598 tax and all

JudyEddy said...

I can't believe Shep has a fish in the cup LOL silly dad letting them eat in bed

Judie said...

Jerry, sorry about the cancelled fishing plans. Weekend should be good.

Wanda, in case you and the Capt. decide to have a Soup Kitchen fish fry, you know where to get plenty of fish! Hope GG is feeling better.

Wonder if Lynn managed to sneak in a Dairy Queen visit. Yum!

Ah, I see. Happy 21st for Andrew.

Shar - bet the shower will be great fun. Enjoy!

Okay, going to pack up my crayons and head home in a few. BBL

JudyEddy said...

JudyEddy said...

SOUND ASLEEP AND SO IS JORDYN STILL

JudyEddy said...

THREE HOUR NAP SO FAR

Lori O. said...

LOL, JudyE!
Eaglets eating in bed!!! :)

JudyEddy said...

I have the saddest picture We were at Freedom park and hanging in a tree was a dead bird on a fishing line I think it was a heroin So sad no one cut it down I am emailing the picture to the mayor and asked that it be cut down

JudyEddy said...

and when we were at the park the juvie eagle was sitting in the nest got a quick video of him also but soooooo fuzzy with my tiny zoom on cam

Lori O. said...

Belle is back.

JudyEddy said...

just noticed eagle on rails at 12

JudyEddy said...

Been staring at fish in cup with babies didn't see her land I guess

JudyEddy said...

Angie said Jordyn got up at 5 15 poor sleepy head kid Belle is movinig fish from cup and chowing down on it at 630

paula eagleholic said...

Still cam is still down...can't get on the live feed. Thanks for the reports! Breakfast in bed, too cute JudyE

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Gang,

Have been busy here this morning, cleaning house and brushing Emma, who's shedding more than usual this week.

Lynn, I see you've been feeling better today! That sure makes my day! Take it easy, and don't overdo. Love & hugs coming your way! Prayers for healing continue!

Well, have some stuff to get done in the yard, so better get it in gear here. Will BBL, after dinner tonight. HAGD, everyone! :o]

Linda said...

Have found my way back from under my desk!! Wishing you all a happy Thursday!

Hoda - Such awesome news about your upcoming trip to the USA!! Sounds wonderful!

DanaMO - As others have said, you'll never please everyone. C'mon....More Social Studies and Science in Kindergarten. Glad you decided on a Beer the other night instead of brewing over it anymore. Nonsense, I say!

Lynne ♥ - Hope you are enjoying time with the girls. So special! What a wonderful friend JO, sending your sons over to handle the yard work for Lynn. So very loving and thoughtful!

KAY - Would sure love to hear even more relief from you. Continued prayers for your pain to subside.

WANDA - Same goes for GG and her pain. I pray they get her regulated so she is pain free. That is awful!

Took FOREVER to catch up, but enjoyed every minute and every post from you dear friends.....

JudyEddy said...

SLEEPING BEAUTY HAS GOTTEN UP

Hoda said...

One of the chicks is a real meanie!!! Oh sits up and then pecks the other one so strongly that it keels over...It happened at least twice just now...Belle is not paying them any heed.I think they are hungry.

Hoda said...

Good you surfaced from under your stack of papers LINDA!!LOL

Sandi said...

Hi all!! Home from school - the kids weren't bad considering the've got a 3-day weekend (teachers have tomorrow to work on grades!) Found out today that our school board, i9n their infinite wisdom, has decided to knock a day off the end of the school year for the students (they will now get out on 6/8 rather than 6/11, which was stupid to start with since it would have made the last day for kids a Monday! Most wouldn't have come back for that one day anyway). The board's logic is that the kids didn't use any snow days. However teachers, who were scheduled to work until 6/13 are STILL scheduled to work til 6/13! I love being treated like an hourly employee by the board, rather than like a professional! Forget the hours before and after school and on weekends - our contract is to work 191 days, so we will work 191 days. Guess who will be using a personal business day on 6/13??

Lynn, glad you were feeling up to an outing with your girls today!!

Linda said...

Thanks, Hoda! ♥

paula eagleholic said...

Both WE and TH had a hatch today!

Mema Jo said...

Siblings - The older one will be aggressive toward the younger one. It is called the Pecking Order.
In self defense the one getting pecked will immediately 'play dead' to avoid getting pecked again.... So therefore I hope the peck you see is not forceful enough to knock the younger one over.

At least I know that many a young eaglet who has been pecked - makes it
just fine. The parents at our nest are making certain they both get fed.

Mema Jo said...

I see Belle and one of the eaglets.
Anyone know where the other one is.

Paula we may want the cam zoom out.
I have only hear one other request from our group. May want more to make the
request........ :)

stronghunter said...

Was checking out the nest at CRC. The baby is out exploring the area near the nest.

Mema Jo said...

Jerry I calls for rain over the
weekend - Get that fishing rod and GO


Having family spaghetti tonight
I'll be back when everyone leaves

stronghunter said...

I see two babies now. They are both flopped.

Janet said...

hey all. thanks judye. i think livvy just has a cold. fever is gone and she acts much better this afternoon. back to school tomorrow and then spring break next week.

i think i needed a day of rest as well.....this has been a really tough week....had reports from 2 other good friends of family members dying in the last 24 hours.

egad.

not sure if i'll be on later.

wish i could go fishing. got the licenses.....need to go wet a line and just be for a while. i agree, taht would be really nice; peacful

later ya'll.

Hoda said...

Thanks JO for the pecking order...it still looks really mean to me...I understand about the need to survive and I agree with you that they are both getting enough to eat.

SANDI your writing about the set number of days for teachers to work is so very similar to what happens in Canada...Sometimes makes no sense at all...in my District relations deteriorated so much that there was no automatic deposit of cheques the last day of the school year...Administrative office staff stopped by at 3:00 PM to destribute the cheques because people were leaving before the end of the school day, grades turned in, classrooms cleaned, supplies ordered, grade books turned in, and so on and so forth...yet we were not dismissed before three thirty on the bell!!! Infentile or what!!!

stronghunter said...

Our little ones are getting fed now. Looks like both parents might be participating again.

Hmm, well, I have just found out that nine-through-eleven-year-old boys are not necessarily too good at pulling weeds. Tried to hire some of Hunter's buddies to do the job, but it isn't going all that well.

Okay, now, Belle is feeding babies, and Shep is feeding Shep. Something bloody and red in the nest.

Sandi said...

Shep lands at 11 with a new fish while Belle is feeding the chicklets. Again, he nailed the landing - right next to Belle on the rails! He then hops to the pantry to chow down while Belle continues to stuff the little ones!

DanaMo said...

I'm right there with you Sandi. We get "paid" to work 175 days a year and because we had no snow days we are working 178 this year! The Archdiocese will not give them to us at the end or on Holy Thursday or on Memorial Day weekend and our principal has no backbone and isn't fighting for us, meanwhile the Catholic HS got one of the days back and the WV schools got theirs back and we've been piling articles up on schools that are getting them back, BUT NOT US!!!

NatureNut said...

Wow, some real snoozing in the nest. I didn't think the youngest could stay uncovered yet, but they must be overachievers! Looks like more than a dozen fish!
Was checking Jewel and the cubs. They are SO noisy. One screaming and the other doing the motorboat sound.
Gotta check dryer & do din din.☺

Hoda said...

Off to evening yoga...see you all later. Hope LYNN and THE GIRLS are having a GREAT DAY.
88 Days

Judie said...

Hi everyone,

Yep, Shirley on both counts. Derek and Savannah's babe is out playing in the grass and learning to walk AND I can only laugh at the image of Hunter and friends pulling weed. Hope you are doing well.

Only saw Belle with her babes a minute ago. Must not be hungry. Just flopped down next to each other.

Janet, now I understand. Congratulations, again, to Livvy on her science project win.

Linda, only a few more weeks before the dreadful date has passed. Hang in there.

Lowreeda, I told Wanda she can find plenty of fish for the soup kitchen just down the road. Maybe Shep thinks since he had to do so much grossery shopping he's entitled to a feast of his own.

Bye

Kay said...

Ha ! Tuning in just in time to see Belle begin to feed one eaglet, "wait a sec, Mom, time for a bit poop shoot first !". And now, Little Bit turns around to get in on dinner time. STEVE is so right. They are growing like weeks. Have never witnessed any eaglets getting better care than these two darlings !

Kay said...

Thanks, as always, for prayers and concerns. I received the injection a week ago today and was told to call at the 10 day mark if I wish to schedule a 2nd one. I'm calling tomorrow. I could barely walk this morning and that's with having taken the meds, ice therapy and the TENS unit. Gotta' have more help !

DanaMo said...

Andrew wanted French Toast and bacon for his birthday dinner! Hey whatever! It was easy for me to make. I can't believe I have a 21 year old son, I can't possibly be old enough!

DanaMo said...

OH KAY!!! I'm so sorry. Yup, make that call, you shouldn't have to deal with pain!

DanaMo said...

Seems like these little ones are always getting fed. There are a lot of fish in that nest, really overkill. Shouldn't they be eating some of those leftovers?

DanaMo said...

Looks like she is digging deeper in that egg cup so she can shove them in and cover them up. They are getting so big I can't imagine how much longer she is going to be able to keep them under her.

paula eagleholic said...

DanaMO, sounds like a great birthday dinner!

Kay said...

Happiness is:

Knowing LYNN is out with her lovely daughters for some fun !

Knowing SANDI wisely had some nasty skin cells removed. Prayers.

Finding that LYNNE is a great poet and that she's posted some fantastic pictures on her blog. The turkey vulture sequence is great !

Reading the Mason update, thanks to JO. "he is now in casts on both legs from his toes to his eyeballs. Those are the facts, but with Mason, it is never about the facts, it's about the adventure." Wow ! Love current Caring Bridge picture of him !

Seeing beautiful herons on live cam, via Cornell and thanks also to JO !

paula eagleholic said...

I agree, getting harder and harder to tuck the chicklets in

big downy feather loose on her left back wing

paula eagleholic said...

Kay, sure hope the next injections help.

Kay said...

HMMM, good ! French toast and bacon for Andrew's birthday dinner. DANAMO, I haven't had dinner yet and may just duplicate that menu because it sounds soooo good ! Okay, so my bacon is thanks to a turkey and my syrup will be sugar free, but I'll enjoy ! Congrats on raising Andrew ! I have three family birthdays to celebrate next week, daughter, Eileen turning 56 on the 2nd, grandaughter Lauren 21 on the 4th and grandson Max 23 on the 6th. Guess I'd better get some presents in the the mail !

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm think that is a regular feather that is molting

Lolly said...

In from working in the yard all day. You would not believe that there is still yard work left to do, but there is...lots of it!! Today we mowed and used the weedeater and I got the lawn mower stuck! Went where I should not have gone as the yard is still a bog in places. After mowing I finished planting those flats of begonias. Now I need more!

Have had dinner and now waiting for AI.

DanaMo...wait til your babies are 42 and 39...that will kill you!! I can not believe they are those ages. Ha! Laurel is my age and Michael older than me. LOL They were just babies!!!!

Kay said...

Belle seems ready for those 2 to settle down for the night, but they appear to have other ideas ! What a joy it is to watch this family !

Kay said...

Goodness, gracious, LOLLY, you've already had dinner. I must tear myself away from the nest and get some food and meds down my gullet.

Love you all so much and will remember all needs in prayer !

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

paula eagleholic said...

Belle has the chick covered as much as she can...standing over them!

What was the other dinner menu item brought to the nest? Any clue where it is?

paula eagleholic said...

Night lite just came on

magpie said...

makes a funny little zzzitz kind of sound when it does that,
Paula...


Hello Evening Eagle Pals...
xoxox

magpie said...

I sure don't know, Paula....
my co-workers got to watch more of the nestcapades today than I did !

magpie said...

Hey, I don't see the fluttering thing that was on earlier...
that's how long it's been since
I checked last

Thinking of Lynn♥
Catching up on everyone else I am thinking of....

Lolly said...

Look at Belle all tucked!

Scotty is singing tonight on AI!!!!

DanaMo said...

I'm so old that I forgot that I even posted that I posted this morning that it was Andrew's birthday. Duh!

DanaMo said...

Sounds good either way Kay. Probably can't tell the diff. ☺

DanaMo said...

I'm off to read...night all!

magpie said...

ooops just missed wishing you a Happy Birthday for Andrew, DanaMo...and congratulations to you and Monte....

Great dinner selection by the Birthday Boy !

xo

magpie said...

but I didn't read anything about birthday cake ! ☺

Have to pretend that it is 10:30 and not 8:30, going in two hours early at 6 am...

Judie, I have some great coloring books for those crayons !
Wildflowers, butterflies, cartoons...animals, take your pick!

magpie said...

Good news about Tori, Rah Rah Rah !

sorry to read that Kay and GG are not out of the Pains woods yet,
glad Linda crawled out from underneath her desk,
and sorry that Janet has had a difficult go of it this weeek, but on a bright ☼ note, Congratulations to Livy !
xo

magpie said...

Moonie is approaching half, so we'll get a little Moonshine these nights to come

Thanks for all the great wild cam links, and the Eaglet hatching news, folks....don't have the time today to explore, but I have them where I can find them

Prayers going up for all our many needs of different varieties....

RED FRIDAY tomorrow....
God Bless Our Military

Good Night, Precious Pals

God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥

Lolly said...

Okay, I confess...I am still in love with Scotty. He is just so cute and sings so well. Love his voice. Shhhhh...do not tell Jack.☺

Lynne2 said...

evening all!

My goodness, the sounds coming from the Heron nest are rather like sounds heard in the movie The Exorcist!

Lynne2 said...

Your secret is safe with me Lolly. I'll be SCOTTY would have gotten you some firewood that night Jack wouldn't!!

paula eagleholic said...

both bobbleheads in view at WE and TH

paula eagleholic said...

That TH chick is a real tumbler!

stronghunter said...

Okay, have to share this. One of Kathryn's friend was watching AI with his 89-year-old grandmother. She commented that that judge was the ugliest woman she had ever seen.

Kathryn's friend said, "That's Jennifer Lopez, Nan." Nan said, "No, not her. The other one." Friend said,"That's Steven Tyler, Nan.

Oh, my!

hedgie said...

Back for a few. Girls and I had a good afternoon. Caro left around 4 to get grosseries and go home to fix dinner for her familly. Chris and I made my homemade Mac 'n' Cheese which really hit the spot. SHe left about 6:30 to meet Shannon at the movies.
I've had my bath and hope to stay awake for my shows. No nap today!

No way to catch up here. So prayers for any and all needs, kudos for goo stuff, and hope all have a restful night. See you tomorrow!!! Love you!!

paula eagleholic said...

Poor chick has no eggs to lean against!

stronghunter said...

Has been a wild and crazy afternoon around here. Kathryn had made a quick trip to the grocery store after coming in from work.

I was sitting in my chair and Hunter was outdoors with his friends. All of a sudden, the front door flew open and a horde of children came rushing into the house yelling for Flash and Luna. They wanted to introduce them to the new puppy they had with them. There was all kinds of running around and yelling.

It was a cute little pit bull pup. Too active for Flash and Luna, to tell the truth. Luna stayed completely out of the fray, and Flash got tired of being lept upon.

Lynne2 said...

too funny Shirley! and he ain't such a good lookin' MAN, either!

Robyn said...

The pecking order, yes I have had experience with that and my 3 nephews!

Hi, I saw everyone in the nest today, correct me if I am wrong but I don't recall Lib bringing this much food into the nest, anyone else?

Shep is sure doing a great job being a first time dad.

I am spending the night at the rehab with Tori, she walked today and walked about 30 feet or so, tomorrow is another day once she can conquer 6 steps she will be ready to go home, or by Friday April 6

glo said...

K 81 who I have long dubbed Mr Mom has fed the new little one on Two Harbors nest its first meal. It triggered a memory of one of the videos not of our NCTC family that I ever made back in the day. It's back in Dr Sharpe's fostering days of 2007 K 81 Mr Mom

paula eagleholic said...

Hi Lynn, bye Lynn! Enjoy your shows! Mac n cheese is always a great comfort food!

paula eagleholic said...

Robyn, Lib never overdid it quite like this! Shep doesn't know when to stop! That's OK!

Sandi said...

Evening all - been vegging out in front of the TV!

Lynn, glad you had a good day, all the way through! Home made mac and cheese - I remember that stuff but it's been forever since I made it! Prayers that tomorrow will be an even better day!

Kay, I'm so sorry that this cortisone injection hasn't helped! Darn!!! Call that doc and get another! Prayers for you!

Robyn, keep the good news about Tori coming!

Lolly, wish it was warm enough here to plant begonias - I don't put anything in the ground til around May 1st! My goldfinches are getting brighter and brighter by the day!

Megan, haven't seen you on the blog in the past couple of days but I would like a recommendation on salvia (anyone else can feel free to chime in as well). Is there a variety that re-blooms well mid to late summer? I'm talking about the purple perennial, not the red annual?

My principal showed me a photo he took with his phone while he was playing golf in Fenwick last week. It was an eagle's nest in a tree along the edge of the golf course, and he saw both parents flying in and out as well as the dark head of a juvie eagle. He snapped the pic b/c he knows I'm an eagle addict! Nice of him to do that! I told him that I will be playing hookey from school one day in April to visit "my" eagles and their nest! He thought that was pretty cool!

Heading for the bathtub and then bed! Goodnight all - see ya in the AM! Don't have to be at school til 8AM so I can sleep in a little, but my body's so used to getting up at 5:30, my guess is that it will do the same tomorrow morning!

JudyEddy said...

Just got back from Angies HEY GUESS what in her news paper from Tuesday Shepherdstown Eagle cam was mentioned I have the newspaper I will send up if anyone want it I did google and found the article that it was mentioned in They were talking about the osprey cam and OUR cam is listed TOOO COOL small world

Here is the link Sheperdstown, eagle cam mentioned in aritcle of eagles nest to see on the web

JudyEddy said...

thats funny because the aritcle in the paper is longer than on the web

JudyEddy said...

So if you all think maybe Steve might want to see if or anyone else let me know and I can pop it in the mail Gonna go wind down now

paula eagleholic said...

JudyE, I would love to have a copy.....I can scan and post it for everyone....then I can send the original to Steve.

Lolly said...

That's a thought, Lynne! Maybe Scotty would have brought down some wood for me. He's a sweety! LOL

Hi Lynn! Bye Lynn! Sounds like you have had a great day. Now have another tomorrow, too!!!

Laurel just called and now I have a Jacob story....

He had a ball game tonight and had some good hits, but one was a pop ball...way out. He ran to first whooping and hollering and waving his arms. LOL He probably could have made it to 3rd but only got to 1st cause of the celebrating. Laurel said everyone was laughing and cheering. That's my boy!!

JudyEddy said...

I will get it out in the mail to you PAULA I posted the link on Steves wall also tonight

Lolly said...

Something Lynne shared on fb reminded me.....I saw our first hummer yesterday. I was sitting on the ground while working in the yard and got buzzed. I was near a plant he was checking out. Have had my feeder out since last week but have not seen one at the feeder yet.

I am going to read now. I'll be back to say good night.

Lynne2 said...

Funny story about Jacob, Lolly!

Heading to bed. Good night and prayers for all!

stronghunter said...

Hi Sandi,

I took the Friday off from school each time I went to the open house weekend, too. It was well worth it.

Good decision.

stronghunter said...

Yeah, Lynne. That is what I told Kathryn. He doesn't look like he cares very much about his appearance.

Cute Jacob story, Lolly. They need to be able to celebrate and have fun at that age. It's not the time to take sports too seriously.

stronghunter said...

Yay, Lynn. So happy that you had a good day.

Mema Jo said...

Judy - the article had all the very good cam sites.....

Sandi - Megan is our Salvia gal.
You're coming down NCTC - right
Maybe Megan could sell you some of hers.

I have been compiling information from quite a few excellent sources* for the Nest Visit. I'll be sending out email on Momsters - If any of you aren't a Momster - Holler at me.

stronghunter said...

Oh, Kay, so sorry that your day was not good. Yes, do make the call.

stronghunter said...

DanaMo, I guess you can't say that Hunter's teachers got the days not used for snow off. The kids did, but the teachers had to go in.

Lolly said...

I said I was going to read but I haven't. Been playing. Have added pictures to my Hawkwood Blog of the gold finch we saw yesterday at the feeder.

Also, I checked the Cardinal nest today. I saw her fly out so I looked. Four eggs! That is the final count.

Lolly said...

Gold Finch at the feeder

stronghunter said...

Weed pulling: It was really quite comical. One kid would pull one weed at a time, take it and lay it on the grass, then declare that he was doing more work than anybody else.

After a bit, he declared that he had done enough for today and left.

Actually, I think Hunter did the best job. Maybe I can convince him to help me tomorrow.

Lolly said...

Night all! Sweet dreams!

Prayers for Kay and Lynn!

Lynne2 said...

I'm still here too. Trying to figure out the timeline on FB before it becomes mandatory. UGH! Actually, it's pretty interesting and not too difficult.

But i'm really going to bed now....

Lolly said...

Send him to Texas, Shirley, I need help!!!!

Lynne2 said...

Lolly said...

Hey Lynne....if I can do it...then you surely can!

Lynne2 said...

I can't seem to figure out how to add years to the time line. Mine only goes from now, down to 2008 and then BORN. UGH.

stronghunter said...

I'm wondering if I have a nest in the tree by the garage. It is so thick it's hard to see anything, but I scared a bird out of there when I was investigating.

Every year I wonder, but can't see anything in there.

Last year, I saw a cardinal going in there several times. Just not easy to see anything, though. It's an arborvitae, and quite tall. Good hiding place for birds.

Hoda said...

Very good rule that we do not talk politics on this forum, even if it is Canadian Politics. Suffice to say the Canadian Federal Budget came down tonight and I AM LIVID!!!

Good that I went to yoga.
Good that I know how to meditate.

I have not yet read back so will go do so...it is sleeting here...
I hope we heard from LYNN and that everyone on the blog is doing well.

stronghunter said...

Sometimes Hunter can be pretty grumpy, Lolly. That's one reason I suggested weed-pulling to his friends. I had offered him money, but he wasn't interested until I said I had offered the job to Anthony. Then he said that Anthony would need help. I think the problem was that too many kids ended up getting involved.

Just Anthony and Hunter would have probably been okay.

The thing is, they are so much closer to the ground than I am. It is hard for me to do that kind of work.

stronghunter said...

Think I had better wind down for the evening. Will need to get an early start again tomorrow.

God bless and good night to all of you good friends.

I will see you tomorrow.

Mema Jo said...

I took time to watch Glo's Two Harbors
2007 video from Dr Sharpe.. Took me
a few to remember what I was seeing...
I had more chuckles while watching!
Thanks Glo for Mr Mom

Mema Jo said...

Lynne - I haven't try to load anything
In fact, I don't think I have even gone
down to see what is there.

Lolly - The gold finch is really gold!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Everyone,
Wow, Lolly, I am SO jealous of your Cardinal nest! Love those birds!

Had a busy day today, and the house looks better for it. Gradually getting a pile of laundry done. Tomorrow is grossery shopping day.

Very happy to hear that Lynn had a great day with her girls! That mac and cheese sounds mighty yummy, too! Love you, Lynn! (((HUGS))) and prayers!

Prayers that Kay and GG will soon be pain free!

Shirley, couldn't help myself--I had to chuckle at the mental picture of all the kids and dogs and the puppy running around in your house! So much for a quiet retirement, I guess.LOL :oD

I just sent an RSVP for our daughter's BFF Cari's 40th Birthday party! It's a week from Saturday. She lives in Norco, CA with her family. Can't believe she was in 1st grade when we met her!
Talk about feeling OLD! Can't wait to see her again. She's a sweetheart.

Well, think I'll go watch a bit of TV before hitting the hay. Gonna be a busy day tomorrow. Prayers have been said for everyone, and for every creature. Special healing prayers for Lynn, Kay, and GG. The porch light is lit, and both security systems are enabled.
Sleep tight, everyone. God bless, and goodnight. Love all of you! :o]

Mema Jo said...

Mac & Cheese is a winner with me!
Very happy to hear Lynn and her girls
had a good day together.

I am hitting the pillow. My mind is
in one of those spinning whirls!
Good Night Everyone and God Bless you and those you Love.
Prayers for everyone's needs ♥
** (((HUGS TO ALL))) **

stronghunter said...

We did get the dogs and kids into the backyard pretty quickly. Appreciated the fence.

stronghunter said...

Oh dear, I said good night and forgot I had. I really must wind down now. It is late.

Costume Lady said...

Lots to do tomorrow, same as today!
I'm tired and can't think...ever get that way? Of course you do:)

Loved the story of Shirley's daughter- Kathryn's friend saying that "That's the ugliest woman I ever saw (Steven Tyler)"...cracked


GOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIENDS
SLEEP WELL
PRAYERS FOR ALL
LYNN♥
kAY♥

Hoda said...

All is quiet.

Goodnight.

PRAYERS♥

Lori O. said...

HODA, sorry the Canadian Gov't decision you've been waiting for was not what you wanted. Big Hugs!

Sleep well and know you are loved.

magpie said...

Good Morning Eagle Pals....
I know Morning GLori is up and about....probably getting ready for the Air Waves right now ☺

Lots of fun and funny reading since I hit the pillows

Have a Good Day, Eagle Pals

It's RED FRIDAY if you haven't already picked out your duds for the day...

God Bless Our Military, Every Day
xoxox ♥

magpie said...

Even with all the fun chitty-chat we did not get to the 200 Barricade, nice to just jump ON and not have to jump OVER ☺

Sandi
I had a black salvia plant from Megan's Market last summer, exotic!
It flowered for a long time into the summer (I cannot remember the exact name for it though, maybe something a little different)

magpie said...

Thinking of Lynn♥
and hoping for another GOOD DAY
at Lynn's Lair

Also thinking of all with discomforts of any kind, and that today will be Good Also !

Early work day for me
one hour 'til clock in time for me

Lori O. said...

I wonder if Megan would let us go over to her greenhouse and buy some plants on Get Together weekend next month?!?

Lori O. said...

Good Morning, MARGY!

magpie said...

Good Morning Again, Lori... !
You should ask about that...

must leave now....wouldn't be fashionable to be late !

"See You All from Work"

xoxo (( All-Day Hugs ♥ ))

DanaMo said...

Good morning eagle friends. ♥

Sandi said...

Morning Lori, DanaMo and Margy! Happy Friday!!!

Sandi said...

Jo, details about the NCTC weekend coming via the Momsters email list? That means I'll have to start reading it (hate to admit it, but I normally send it to the trash each day without reading it - it's hard enough to just keep up with the blog!) I did read what showed up this AM and was happy to hear that Isla returned! That's pretty amazing!!

Does Megan raise/sell perennials at her greenhouse?

DanaMo said...

Sandi-I don't even open my yahoo or gmail accounts so I'm just the same. The blog emails come to my phone, but otherwise I don't even look at them.

Sandi said...

Belle is up and poofed. I heard Shep near the cam a bit ago, so he should be arriving. babies are awake and looking hungry!

Sandi said...

And Dad arrives!

Sandi said...

Shep is standing near the launch pad and both chicklets are watching him. He picks a fish from the pile and starts eating (facing away from the babies). If he doesn't go to them, I suspect they may come to him!! Right now, they're still nestled in the cup - but watching him intently!!

Sandi said...

Shep tried to straddle both chicklets and they want nothing to do with that!

Sandi said...

Shep is now standing on the rails at 10. Both chicks are still nestled in the cup and don't seem terribly concerned that Dad hasn't fed them, sothey must be fine with it. Looks like I am solo reporting this AM until someone else arrives. Gotta get ready for my day! Will check in from school! TTFN!

Sandi said...

Shep tried again to settle on the chicks but I think that ship has sailed for Shep - they won't fit under him anymore!! Lil is 2 weeks old today - they both look great!! Shep is now grabbing a fish from the rails at 12 - I'd love to see him feed those babies!

Sandi said...

FINALLY - he's feeding Lil! Big is snoozing. Yay!! Gotta scoot!

magpie said...

good Morning from work
Belle and Shep were fussing with the "soft downy straw and fluff" in the nest, then Shep flew out, so now it's quiet around and underneath so Belle is catching a few extra winks

Happy Day, Happy Friday to all

Thinking of Lynn♥
xoxo

magpie said...

was...something made her wake up

stronghunter said...

Good morning!

Just checking in for a moment.

floralgirl said...

Good Morning! Sorry if I disappeared for a while again, that happens this time of year. Too busy to do much of anything but live in the gh.
I can't believe how many fish are piled in the nest.
Yes, if some people wanted to come to my place to look at my plants on that Saturday, we could probably arrange that:)

paula eagleholic said...

Sandi, Megan sells her flowers at the Shepherdstown Sunday Market in Stown...it runs from 9-1 on Sundays, but if there is something you want, she could bring it for you perhaps.

paula eagleholic said...

I hear something chirping near the nest

paula eagleholic said...

Just saw the wonderful pic of Isla that Chrissy sent out...amazing!

paula eagleholic said...

It's chilly here this morning 35°

paula eagleholic said...

Oooh, party at Megans ☺

stronghunter said...

That sounds great, Megan!

magpie said...

Getting pretty close to a SPLIT

so keep an EYE or TWO out for that

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Glad you took time to watch MrMom video MeMa Jo I shared it over here as I thought maybe many of the Momsters were not watching eagle cams back when Dr Sharpe was doing al his fostering work with the eggs and eaglets. Figured it would give them some idea of all that was done to restore eagles to the Catalinas, and for the rest of us some pretty special memories of how hard eagles struggled to come back. From what I saw yesterday K 81 is definitely still in the Mr Mom roe on Two Harbors. And well our Shep is doing pretty great as first time Dad. He is surely half fisherman too :-).

paula eagleholic said...

Belle up off the chicks, they are awake but still in the bup

ooops, cup!
