We miss you too PAULA. The most important thing is to keep healthy while you are busy and do not make it all work and no play...I hope things calm down at your work. It has been going on for a while now.
Happy to come home and hear the news that Kay's surgery was successful and she is in her room, albeit uncomfortable and in pain. I am sure that is to be expected and that poor woman is used to pain!
Praying they give her good drugs to allow her body to sleep and heal tonight!
Wild news about the shots heard, the lights and the voices.
LYNNE - I'll bet you have a beautiful voice!!!! I don't care how you sing. I love you anyway!!
I, too, have had a hysterectomy, Glo, though I was in my 50s. It did take several weeks to regain my strength. But I was so much better after it was over.
I worry that Kathryn will need to do the same thing before too much longer. She has problems, too.
I have the volume turned all of the way up on my computer, and so far I have not heard anything unusual. I guess I did not hear it before because I had the sound turned way down.
Time to sleep Thankful prayers for Kay - Becky - Delphia's day. Praying for good reports and good recoveries. Prayers for Melissa Jo to have good visit with the specialist.♥
RED - So happy you are home and will be joining us again. I know you must be thrilled to be home as well. Back to sausage and gravy, right??
WV Dana - Glad you got to see your cousin Rosie and will keep her in my prayers that her transition from this life to the next is a sweet one.
JO - Thank you for the updates on Delphia and Kay.
Special prayers for ♥ KAY ♥, DELPHIA and BECKY as their bodies heal tonight. May they have peaceful sleep tonight and awake feeling less pain in the morning.
Just had to pop back for a second...I'm watching Dr Quinn Medicine Woman. The town merchant has an eagle in a cage for people to pay to see, and Dr Q's son is working to raise money to buy it from him so he can set it free!
more clunking, someone is not comfortable up there...I wonder if they could hop into the nest at night time? I worry because Missy missed a landing one time when I was watching...moon rising...it is getting lighter at the nest, maybe clouds are moving on...
Was checking in to see how all our friends are doing after surgery and tests today. Kay probably has the option of going to a local nursing home for her rehabilitation. If you are on Medicare, it is a free service. I'm sure Columbus has some very fine nursing homes. All the equipment that she would need is right there for her use...that would be my choice if I lived alone.
Planted flower bed in front of GG's house today. Angel wing begonias in front and coleus of many colors in the back.
Off to bed with me! Have a good night and sleep well...prayers being said for our special momsters and family members who are recuperating from surgeries and awaiting test results.
I am calling it quits for the night too. Yes, the nest is brighter now and no eaglets. Bet they miss the plotzing! I sure would not want to sleep sitting up! LOL
Cannot sleep. Had some tea. George did not appreciate being moved. He takes over the recliner most nights. He is now beside me and sound asleep on the footrest part of the recliner. I have learned to get out of the recliner without dumping him on the floor, so he is fine.
A few years ago, a doctor suggested that I get up and have warm milk or tea when I have trouble sleeping. I do not like the idea of warm milk, but sometimes I have a little cold milk. Seems to help.
How is Kay? Have we heard? Was the surgery yesterday?
I'm heading into my classroom early this morning to try to make a dent in my room. I have so much to do. This is the one time of year I am jealous of our middle school teachers. They pack up books, clean desks and they are done. I have so much crap that I don't even know where to put it away!
Morning DanaMo! A teacher's work is never done!! Yup, chilly here too - 50 degrees! No eagle kids in sight in the nest!
Transition to high school meetings all day today for me, plus my final IEP meeting! That will be preferable to being in the classroom with these crazy kids! They are SO DONE, and very bold about letting us know it!!
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDS 72° now Its going to be a juicy kind of day in Fl Rain Rain Rain for the next week Got woke up with a heavy down pour earlier but went back to sleep So Jordyn and I are house bound today
Quick good morning. Not awake this morning! Went to bed @ 9 and slept hard, but can't shake the bats outta the belfry this morning!
Took the kids to the waterpark last night,they had a blast.
Ice Skating tonight. Go go go!
Luke ate some bolognaand a hot dog last night. Took him off the cipro. Doc wants to try keflex starting Friday night. We shall see. Poor baby. He acts fine...just refusing to eat. Egad!
Can't believe another week almost done...where do they go.
Have't had a chance to read, gotta scat and get ready for work ...I did see Hoda had snow???????? Saw that on FB. Wow
Hope everyone is well and that tests/surgeries/etc all were okay. I think of you often during the day.
Hugs, light and healing to all! Smiles to ya! Have a great day!
Janet, glad to see that Luke ate SOMETHING! I posted the other night but you were gone already...you can try some boiled chicken and rice for him, he may like that! You can also add some low sodium chicken broth to his food or even let him have some diluted in his water to make it more tasty.
From NCTC on fb. Certainly wish I lived closer, I would be doing this!

Taking Grace to the vet this morning for her distemper booster. She will also likely have blood drawn as her white blood cell count was low. Will also ask about a number rating on Audrey's heart murmur.
Good Morning! Seems as though I am a little too late to get the live feed up! I keep getting the message - The selected item is currently not available! Now I need another cup of java! Last evening was horrific with shots and lights and someone singing bluegrass.It was so bad that it scared the fox into it's foxhole. I think it may be my computer but I will keep trying. I need to read this morning's comments! And remember most of all that we do love Lynne.
Hi Jo, Thanks so much! She is supposed to be in the hospital for three days. I will be going in at about 11 so should know more then. After that she will move to the rehab center, The Forum at Knightsbridge (http://theforumatknightsbridge.com/)
Thanks for your concern! I will let her know you wrote. Julie
The Forum at Knightsbridge 4590 Knightsbridge Blvd Columbus, OH 43214
I got caught off guard, Margy when your voice mail came on. I was expecting a big 'Hello' & I actually got my cell phone out and checked the number. I was just going to ask for any assistance you could give by calling 911 or the police in Shep'twn about our event evening of noises at the nest You know Bang Bang Bang...
I do have to ask: What did all that singing some like Lynne2 was hearing on the live feed last night. I did not hear it??? So what did you all do to the "live feed" with all these hallucinations some was having lol
Glad to hear that, Jo! I have hummers everywhere, the past week we have had many more arrive in the garden. Let me know if Jenny wants a cardinal climber, they are getting unruly in the gh!
Record that address for Kay at the rehab - Julie will alert us when she goes. Julie will relay any message you send to her by email to Kay during the time she is in the hospital. juliecronk@sbcglobal.net We'll know more after Julie speaks with the dr today
For those just getting on....Steve responded to Lynne's email. It was Night Training at NCTC last night. They should have warned us! LOL We always let our imaginations run wild!
Jo, thanks so much for Kay's address at rehab!! Let the cards begin!!☺
I am glad to read both juvies were spotted in the nest before the cam issues began today. The music you all heard would have been the Unicorns Sorry so many got so worried about the gunshots near the nest last night. I think we sort of need to kind of expect that is what it is whether or not we have been warned. Just seems to happen occasionally. I bet the juvies were a bit confused too.
Thanks Jo... multiple times...for the updated info from Julie about Kay and everything else...
I would have guessed the law enforcement training since we have had that before...just always is a surprise when it happens.... Linda was sending me texts about Julie and Becky....and then also that. Glad it seems the eaglets made it through it okay
all noisy concerns aside, I bet it is really exciting to be at NCTC and participating in those drills..... I'd love to be there sometime for it... but Jo I would have helped out last night with the question if I could..
Best wishes on your test results today, AND on Melissa's consulation in Baltimore
GOOD MORNING... Hummers...Only a few here, I suspect most of them are at MEGANS:) Speaking of Megan, my Nicotianas are blooming so beautifully...a deep purple and looks a little like petunias. My Cardinal Climber has outclimbed it's 8 ft support. Can't wait til it blooms!
Last evening, Capt. Gene went to an Elk's Lodge meeting (hasn't been to one in a looong time) and his name was drawn for "meeting night" prize...$838.00. I feel a Lobster Dinner coming on;)
Anxious to hear how KAY is doing today and praying that Melissa Jo's doctors can give her BIG TIME help!
FOOD BANK TRUCK coming in today...need to get ready. Have a great day♥
Well, I could use a few more hummingbirds, Red, so send some my way. Remember, around here it's nesting time, so a lot of the females are on nests and not at your feeders as often as they will be soon. When the babies hatch and fledge, then the real fun begins:)
Update from Julie on Kay.... Hi Jo, Seth and I just went to the hospital to visit and she is quite uncomfortable, nauseous, hasn't been able to begin to move as they would like, still in a lot of pain. So, she asked us to go, actually. I will go back over in the evening. She said she just wanted to sleep and get over the nausea. So, it feels like a setback of about a day. Thanks for your caring! Julie
Hi Megan. Nice you had a few minutes to sneak in the door.
Thanks so much on the updates for Kay. Sorry she is uncomfortable but soon she will be so free of pain and likely giving Hoda a run for her dragon boats -- even in the snow.
Figured it was a training exercise last night but do wish they could wait until the babes are actually on their own. Worrisome.
No hummers here yet. Hope the red flowers I planted will be an invitation. Have had some butterflies at the milkweed that survived and on the butterfly bush out front.
Grace was her usual sweet self. Got her booster and will have results of the blood work by Monday -- white cell count low. Oh, Lynne, when you return from music land, Audrey's heart murmur was between 1 and 2. To be monitored but no need to try to stop her rough and tumble with Grace.
Okay, off to do some stuff. May try salmon cakes with Lolly's green onion sauce tonight.
Hope it's a Happy Thursday for everyone and Jo gets an Ace report and Kay feels better ASAP! Prayers for all other ailments and recoveries. Great to see Red is home finally.What a setback you'd never expect. Strength and Patience for Shar, the beautiful Mother of the Groom! ☺ ♥ Glad to see there was no real problem at the nest last night. We are just vigilant Momsters and some of us live with the "Sound of Music" also. LOL Day off---so appts. Just got back from Dr. appt, and leaving soon for hair appt. so I can see where I am going!!! BBL
there are fiber net phone problems in Jefferson County affecting telephones and internet.... so....maybe that accounts for a little wonkiness here and there
I am so so sorry to read of Kay's discomfort... hope that Kay can kick the nausea and just sleep and rest right on through it.... Thank you for the update JO ..Steady as she goes, Kay !!
And the nest is probably going to get some storming... rain in Hedgesville now coming towards Martinsburg....and then the next stop could be Shepherdstown
at least....thunder and lightning are things the Eaglets are accustomed to now....
Shirley, I forget that Hunter and Joseph are the same age and same grade. Off to middle school, but Joseph will be there with Laurel in 6th. He will not be on her team, but there with her. Yea!
I was headed out to do some work in the yard, but it is sprinkling.
Happy Anniversary to Judie and Darth. Today is Laurel and Joey's 15th anniversary. LOL He is in Colorado and she is home. Quite different day from 15 years ago.
Judie, enjoy the green onion sauce. It freezes nicely if you have leftovers, then it is ready for next Salmon night. Just remember, when you put the hot sauce in the blender or food processor that it is vented. Do not want the hot stuff all over the kitchen!
Just got Jordyn down for a nap My cats keep her from having a good nap They are always trying to get in the door and she is always saying What that! etc and not sleeping well after 40 min of it we went to my room to nap, to try to fool the cats, and I think it worked they didn't even come to that door So she is out like a lite Hey did you see on the news that a dock from Japan with a Japanese jelly fish was found on the shores of Oregon just on the news abit ago Huge dock amazing the force of the sea to carry it all that way and with the jelly fish still alive
MT nest again I got a answer back from the facebook page of NCTC
40 minutes agoNational Conservation Training CenterHi, Judy -
I sent you a message first thing this morning, but it is no longer showing up...so I'm going to re-send it: Thanks very much for your concern about the NCTC eagles. There are currently no hunting efforts underway on the National Conservation Training Center's 530 acre campus. No hunting of any kind will occur until October when our managed deer hunt begins. We did have a group of national wildlife refuge law enforcement officers conducting a training session yesterday evening using simulated gunfire, although they were well away from the general nest area - this is most likely what you heard. Regarding the foxes - we do have a healthy fox population as part of the native wildlife here on campus, and the fish and other "food" that falls out of the eagle nest can attract the foxes on the ground. However, the eagles tend to remain high in the trees and they have their keen eyesight to warn them of any foxes present nearby - we've not yet seen any detrimental interaction among the eagles and the foxes in the course of the past seven nesting seasons. Thanks again for your interest and please let me know if you have any further concerns.
Regards, Sarah Gannon-Nagle Sarah_GannonNagle@fws.gov
Lolly the activity you was talking about that will take place from the ramp at NCTC. It is a water outfitters place doing it. The cost gives you helmet, paddle and kayak to use. There will be a guide. You have to be able to do the kayak; if it overturns which she said they usually do. You have to be able to swim out from under it. Get the kayak to a rock and lift it to get the water out of it. Then get back in the kayak. I think they should have put "experienced kayakers". I had called and spoke to them. There is an area before I would go that I could pay and trying out the kayak. She said the water there (to try out kayak) is level and not rough as the water we would be going on. I do need to be ready to swim out when it over turns. Cause she said it will. So I could get some training there before I would go. So I don't know what I am going to do. Would love to do it.
I have returned from dr - I'll need another CY in 3 months. One new small spot showed up on Left lung but he thinks it is just an artery in my lung. I am not to worry about it per Doc! So I won't...... He heard much less whizzing, so that is great news! I'll still accept any prayers offered in my name I LOVE US ♥
My still cam was just rainbow limes and now it has gone black!!! I am glad of the sighting of the two juvies earlier this morning...OK still cam is back and I can see the nest yet rainbow lines are there also...
Seems the cam is going in and out like the juvies. Keeps us on our toes I guess.
Hoping Kay has a refreshing sleep and makes steady progress in feeling better.
(MARGY - you're welcome -- those kinds of projects keep me sane -- wish that eagle didn't look so grumpy though. LOL)
Hoping everyone is having a great day - wet or sunny! As for me, I'm trying to sew new covers for the patio chairs. EGADS -- why did I ever choose stripes :o(
I am going to meet up with Carolyn in a little while...so Sayonara for now, until tomorrow. I know there is some news I am not UP on, but do read the updates on Kay and Dephia...and hoping for great outcomes....
Prayers for Wellness
God Bless This Nest, and God Bless Us, Every One xoxo
Nice to see the eaglets in the nest. I did get a chance to work in the yard. Laurel said she had rain all morning and Jacob was out floating ships in the gutter in the rain. LOL We just had light sprinkles on and off.
HAPPY ANNIVERSITY TO JUDIE AND FRANK DARTH!Sounds like she is cooking din din~~yummy! (That is not an sp error. One of the terms we use from a small child!)
We had peanuts out for squirrel and some of the birds. A tufted titmouse got one! Couldn't get a pic, but got one Sunday of a scruffy nuthatch taking one!
Congrats, Jo on passing your tests!!! Prayers to keep you well!! Happy Anniversary for Laurel & Joey too! ☺ Hope Julie can give us a report tonight on Kay. Hope they can fix up her tummy and pain asap. Sometimes people get upset stomach from anesthesia, but I thought they give you something in IV to prevent that?! Did for me.
Loretta where we use to live the nuthach, blue jay, titmouse, sometimes a crow and once or twice a gold finch love the peanuts. Ed had made a board with nails sticking up. He would put the peanuts with shell on onto those nails. Love watching them. :) The smartest bird was the titmouse. He pecked around the shell on the nail until he got it loose and flew off with it lol
Oh crap I forgot to tell you all. I seen an eaglet flying around in New York. I could pull over and watch it for a good while. Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dinner is in the oven. Tonight a new recipe for oven baked asparagus and mac and cheese. LOL I cooked mac and cheese for Jacob earlier this week and have been craving it ever since. Jack ate lunch out today so it was good evening to have it.
Judie, so glad you liked the green onion sauce, we certainly do!

I was talking to the dog, didn't hear the voices.
Well, the DJ just announced the time between songs, and I see it's time to leave you all. I may or may not be back someday.
What was that sound?
that was the sound of my tears hitting the keyboard....

OOOOOO...you should hear what the voices in my head are saying NOW.
Time to go feed my unicorn. Have a lovely evening MEAN GIRLS.
LOL!!!!
Big clunk!
Noise someone on the cam!!! I hope they manage to stay put till day light...
Love you Lynne!
Heard that clunk!! Lovely sound!
Uh, oh...Lynne now thinks she has a unicorn. I wonder if its color is clear?
LOVE YOU, LYNNE!!!!
I can not stop laughing LYNNE You are HILARIOUS...as PAULA says LOVE YOU LYNNE
Happy to come home and hear the news that Kay's surgery was successful and she is in her room, albeit uncomfortable and in pain. I am sure that is to be expected and that poor woman is used to pain!

Raining here again....such a wonderful sound, rain and thunder. Love it!
More noisein the attic scratches.
Missing MARGY
Hi,
Just finished reading about all of the excitement tonight.
I have heard clunks and sounds that tell me the eagles are nearby, so whatever is going on, they have not been frightened away.
Wish we had a good night light tonight. Man, it is dark at the nest.
I can understand why we are not hearing the fox tonight. I would not bark, either, if I were a fox, with all of those humans around.
Lynne, I have heard radio sounds at the nest, too, and have been made fun of. Hang in there. I believe you.
Glad to hear that Kay's surgery is over. Prayers for a good recovery for her.
I, too, have had a hysterectomy, Glo, though I was in my 50s. It did take several weeks to regain my strength. But I was so much better after it was over.
I worry that Kathryn will need to do the same thing before too much longer. She has problems, too.
I have the volume turned all of the way up on my computer, and so far I have not heard anything unusual. I guess I did not hear it before because I had the sound turned way down.
Got a message from one of my NC cousins. She is already canning green beans. Seems so early to be doing that.
Time to sleep

More headlight at the nest...
More clunking at the cam
more clunking, someone is not comfortable up there...I wonder if they could hop into the nest at night time? I worry because Missy missed a landing one time when I was watching...moon rising...it is getting lighter at the nest, maybe clouds are moving on...
Good night.
Prayers for Melissa Jo, Delphia, Kay, Becky, and for all others who need them.
I will see you tomorrow.
Don't think I have seen anything from Judie this evening.
Upstairs in bed now. Dubby is asleep and I am catching up on some of the posts over the past day or so....
22 more sleeps, HODA? WHOO HOO!!!!!
Dogs In The City is on CBS.
12O'CLOCK AND ALLS WELL!

Cannot sleep. Had some tea. George did not appreciate being moved. He takes over the recliner most nights. He is now beside me and sound asleep on the footrest part of the recliner. I have learned to get out of the recliner without dumping him on the floor, so he is fine.
Hunter's "graduation" from elementary school is tomorrow morning. Officially, it is an award ceremony, but he wants us to be there.
Nest MT.

Hugs, light and healing to all! Smiles to ya! Have a great day!
Good morning everyone. Looking forward to a very nice day. Trust soon we will see and hear our juvies.
Mornin' all!
I did message Steve on FB and got a reply...
The is training going on outdoors. They are careful to stay away from the nest area. Remember that the micropohne picks up very well even a mile away.
So it wasn't some crazy who wouldn't be careful at the nest!
Janet, glad to see that Luke ate SOMETHING! I posted the other night but you were gone already...you can try some boiled chicken and rice for him, he may like that! You can also add some low sodium chicken broth to his food or even let him have some diluted in his water to make it more tasty.
Glo, sure hope Becky is feeling better each minute!
Looking forward, too, to a positive report on Kay later today!
2 eaglets in the nest....second one just arrived!
Great landing....looks like Missy was in second, Bro is eating.
Oh
Ok
Two juvies in the nest
Good Morning Eagle Pals !!

It should be a beautiful day in So Cal. It's only 61° at the moment, but by the time the sun rises high into the sky, we should be near the 80° mark.
Is that Missy eating at the moment?? Probably is, since I see the clear shadow of the other one at 11 o'clock.
[:~D] Jim
Good morning to all.
I see I missed much activity not the least of which was Lynne's musical experience. Lynne, there are medications that help with hallucinations. lol
So glad the babes are back this morning. I seem to remember a year or so back there was a night exercise for police or some other gun-toting group.
Wishing a speeding recovery for C/A neighbor.
So good to see that Kay and Becky are beginning their recovery. Will send lots of positive energy.
Jo, thinking of Melissa Jo today. Hoping she gets some good help.
Shirley, congratulations to Hunter. Next year should be very interesting.
Red, so happy you are home. Can't wait for the biscuits and gravy report.
Thank you, Margy.
The big chick is up front to the camera at BWO right now.
[:~D] Jim
Taking Grace to the vet this morning for her distemper booster. She will also likely have blood drawn as her white blood cell count was low. Will also ask about a number rating on Audrey's heart murmur.
Have a lovely day everyone. BBL
Morning, again!
can't get the cam !
Had to run Nick to the vet, he has an ear infection, but he will be fine. Gotta get dressed and head to work.
I have lost the cam. Anyone else?
1.64 inches of rain so far and it is still lightly sprinkling and possible storms and rain all day. Love it!!! Presently 70, I can live with this!
Hi Paula, okay, not me....see you lost the cam as well.
Poor Nick...sorry about the ear. Poor guy!
my cam is gone tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
still cam will have to do
oh no rainbow still cam now
Good Morning! Seems as though I am a little too late to get the live feed up!
I keep getting the message - The selected item is currently not available! Now I need another cup of java!
Last evening was horrific with shots and lights and someone singing bluegrass.It was so bad that it scared the fox into it's foxhole.
I think it may be my computer but I will keep trying. I need to read this morning's comments! And remember most of all that we do love Lynne.
Whoopee! It's not just me - I knew I was part of the crowd! But at least I read that earlier both our eaglets were in the nest.
I have a message from Julie - Let me bring it over...............
Well live feed closes out for me about every 10 mins here at work, BUT we have the Still Cam ☺
Hi Jo....thanks for trying to call me last night !!
whew are we busy!
city fire and police doing a major drill exercise...
lots of EMS units, police, and other resources very busy on this Drill.....
on snap just read the update on the still cam from Judy I thought it was up and running
Hi Jo, Thanks so much! She is supposed to be in the hospital for three days. I will be going in at about 11 so should know more then. After that she will move to the rehab center, The Forum at Knightsbridge (http://theforumatknightsbridge.com/)
Thanks for your concern! I will let her know you wrote. Julie
The Forum at Knightsbridge

Columbus, OH 43214
I got caught off guard, Margy when your voice mail came on. I was expecting a big 'Hello' & I actually got my cell phone out and checked the number.
I was just going to ask for any assistance you could give by calling 911 or the police in Shep'twn about our
event evening of noises at the nest
You know Bang Bang Bang...
still cam is sort of working no one in the nest now has rainbow lines but still can see
I think that is the shadow of one on 9
Hello :) This is posted under the live cam screen- NOTE: AUDIO AND VIDEO MAY BE TURNED OFF PERIODICALLY FROM JUN 7-10 FOR MAINTENANCE.
Megan - you are so good! May your flowers bloom! Had a hummer yesterday at the salvia I had gotten from you!
I hope your hummers are back.
Good Morning to ALL :)
I do have to ask: What did all that singing some like Lynne2 was hearing on the live feed last night. I did not hear it??? So what did you all do to the "live feed" with all these hallucinations
some was having lol
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Special day for Judie & Frank
Happy Happy Anniversary to a lovely
couple. Love and Happiness to you now
and always ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I think Harmon is 8 weeks old today???
Glad to hear that, Jo! I have hummers everywhere, the past week we have had many more arrive in the garden. Let me know if Jenny wants a cardinal climber, they are getting unruly in the gh!
Record that address for Kay at the rehab - Julie will alert us when she goes. Julie will relay any message you send to her by email to Kay during the time she is in the hospital.
juliecronk@sbcglobal.net
We'll know more after Julie speaks with the dr today
For those just getting on....Steve responded to Lynne's email. It was Night Training at NCTC last night. They should have warned us! LOL We always let our imaginations run wild!
Jo, thanks so much for Kay's address at rehab!! Let the cards begin!!☺
still cam shows one eaglet in nest
Juvie moved to the 5 spot
Good morning y'all. Did anyone find out what all the rucus was about last night. Gunshots, lights etc. Hope Steve lets us know what was going on.
Read up...Red! Night Training at NCTC last night!
I am glad to read both juvies were spotted in the nest before the cam issues began today. The music you all heard would have been the Unicorns Sorry so many got so worried about the gunshots near the nest last night. I think we sort of need to kind of expect that is what it is whether or not we have been warned. Just seems to happen occasionally. I bet the juvies were a bit confused too.
Thanks Lolly, you must have posted that while I was typing in my post.
LOL Probably so! How are you feeling today, Red! We are so happy you are back and doing well.
Thanks Jo...
multiple times...for the updated info from Julie about Kay
and everything else...
I would have guessed the law enforcement training since we have had that before...just always is a surprise when it happens....
Linda was sending me texts about Julie and Becky....and then also that.
Glad it seems the eaglets made it through it okay
all noisy concerns aside, I bet it is really exciting to be at NCTC and participating in those drills.....
I'd love to be there sometime for it...
but Jo I would have helped out last night with the question if I could..
Best wishes on your test results today, AND on Melissa's consulation in Baltimore
Oh, I DID catch up on that:
Welcome Back RED ! and glad things seem to be going well...
Finally !!
Oh, I DID catch up on that:
Welcome Back RED ! and glad things seem to be going well...
Finally !!
still cam shows tow juvies in the nest
well you can tell I really mean it when it posts twice..
Yay on all the hummer news....from
Megan and others
GOOD MORNING...
Hummers...Only a few here, I suspect most of them are at MEGANS:)
Speaking of Megan, my Nicotianas are blooming so beautifully...a deep purple and looks a little like petunias. My Cardinal Climber has outclimbed it's 8 ft support. Can't wait til it blooms!
Last evening, Capt. Gene went to an Elk's Lodge meeting (hasn't been to one in a looong time) and his name was drawn for "meeting night" prize...$838.00. I feel a Lobster Dinner coming on;)
Anxious to hear how KAY is doing today and praying that Melissa Jo's doctors can give her BIG TIME help!
FOOD BANK TRUCK coming in today...need to get ready.
Have a great day♥
All your hummers are here in Alabama with me. I'm refilling my feeders every other day with several hummers buzzing around them all day long.
two juvies still on still cam yeah for the still cam
man oh man
all this hummer news is outstanding...
except for Wanda not having any
BUT how about that meeting night prize! couldn't happen to a nicer Captain !!
Well, I could use a few more hummingbirds, Red, so send some my way. Remember, around here it's nesting time, so a lot of the females are on nests and not at your feeders as often as they will be soon. When the babies hatch and fledge, then the real fun begins:)
Update from Julie on Kay....
Hi Jo, Seth and I just went to the hospital to visit and she is quite uncomfortable, nauseous, hasn't been able to begin to move as they would like, still in a lot of pain. So, she asked us to go, actually. I will go back over in the evening. She said she just wanted to sleep and get over the nausea. So, it feels like a setback of about a day. Thanks for your caring! Julie
Red, not nice to hog all the hummers! I see one maybe two occasionally in the yard but not at the feeder. Guess they are enjoying the flowers.
Oh, bless Kay's heart! Not fun to be so nauseous and in pain, too. Hope she can get some sleep.
Good almost afternoon.
Thank you, Jo.
Hi Red! So really nice to have you back with us.
Hi Megan. Nice you had a few minutes to sneak in the door.
Thanks so much on the updates for Kay. Sorry she is uncomfortable but soon she will be so free of pain and likely giving Hoda a run for her dragon boats -- even in the snow.
Figured it was a training exercise last night but do wish they could wait until the babes are actually on their own. Worrisome.
No hummers here yet. Hope the red flowers I planted will be an invitation. Have had some butterflies at the milkweed that survived and on the butterfly bush out front.
Grace was her usual sweet self. Got her booster and will have results of the blood work by Monday -- white cell count low. Oh, Lynne, when you return from music land, Audrey's heart murmur was between 1 and 2. To be monitored but no need to try to stop her rough and tumble with Grace.
Okay, off to do some stuff. May try salmon cakes with Lolly's green onion sauce tonight.
Bye
Back from Hunter's graduation, some shopping, etc. Picked up some summer clothes for myself.
They said I saved $99. It is amazing how I save by spending.
Happy anniversary, Judie and Frank.
Hope that Kay is much better very soon.
I am so sleepy. I am going to take a nap. I slept too little last night.
Thanks for your kind words about Hunter's graduation. I will tell him.
Hope it's a Happy Thursday for everyone and Jo gets an Ace report and Kay feels better ASAP!
Prayers for all other ailments and recoveries.
Great to see Red is home finally.What a setback you'd never expect.
Strength and Patience for Shar, the beautiful Mother of the Groom! ☺ ♥
Glad to see there was no real problem at the nest last night. We are just vigilant Momsters and some of us live with the "Sound of Music" also. LOL
Day off---so appts. Just got back from Dr. appt, and leaving soon for hair appt. so I can see where I am going!!!
BBL
P.S. Forgive my senile memory~~~
Happy Graduation to Hunter!!!☺
there are fiber net phone problems in Jefferson County affecting telephones and internet....
so....maybe that accounts for a little wonkiness here and there
I am so so sorry to read of Kay's discomfort...
hope that Kay can kick the nausea and just sleep and rest right on through it....
Thank you for the update JO
..Steady as she goes, Kay !!
Still cam is absolutely gorgeous
NatureNut, Live feed not so good right now
And the nest is probably going to get some storming...
rain in Hedgesville now
coming towards Martinsburg....and then the next stop could be Shepherdstown
at least....thunder and lightning are things the Eaglets are accustomed to now....
ruh roh...rainbowy lines at the top of the still cam...usually NOT a good sign
Shirley, I forget that Hunter and Joseph are the same age and same grade. Off to middle school, but Joseph will be there with Laurel in 6th. He will not be on her team, but there with her. Yea!
I was headed out to do some work in the yard, but it is sprinkling.
Happy Anniversary to Judie and Darth. Today is Laurel and Joey's 15th anniversary. LOL He is in Colorado and she is home. Quite different day from 15 years ago.
Judie, enjoy the green onion sauce. It freezes nicely if you have leftovers, then it is ready for next Salmon night. Just remember, when you put the hot sauce in the blender or food processor that it is vented. Do not want the hot stuff all over the kitchen!
Just got Jordyn down for a nap My cats keep her from having a good nap They are always trying to get in the door and she is always saying What that! etc and not sleeping well after 40 min of it we went to my room to nap, to try to fool the cats, and I think it worked they didn't even come to that door So she is out like a lite Hey did you see on the news that a dock from Japan with a Japanese jelly fish was found on the shores of Oregon just on the news abit ago Huge dock amazing the force of the sea to carry it all that way and with the jelly fish still alive
My still cam is rainbow lines but I still can see a eagle in it
Still cam is back to being nice and one eagle in nest
Thank you, Shirley. Hope you are having a restful nap.
Lolly, thank you. About to head to the kitchen to make the sauce. Will let you know how good it tastes.
JudyE, interesting thing about cats and doors. They seem to have a real dislike of those that are closed.
Has Sharon left for the wedding? I'm getting forgetful. Will be anxious to hear all about it.
STILL CAM showing MT nest :^(
Sharon went down a few days ago.
Said today she is ironing the chair covers for the reception! I bet for the price they would be already pressed!
Bev is going down today or tomorrow.
MT nest again I got a answer back from the facebook page of NCTC
40 minutes agoNational Conservation Training CenterHi, Judy -
I sent you a message first thing this morning, but it is no longer showing up...so I'm going to re-send it:
Thanks very much for your concern about the NCTC eagles. There are currently no hunting efforts underway on the National Conservation Training Center's 530 acre campus. No hunting of any kind will occur until October when our managed deer hunt begins. We did have a group of national wildlife refuge law enforcement officers conducting a training session yesterday evening using simulated gunfire, although they were well away from the general nest area - this is most likely what you heard. Regarding the foxes - we do have a healthy fox population as part of the native wildlife here on campus, and the fish and other "food" that falls out of the eagle nest can attract the foxes on the ground. However, the eagles tend to remain high in the trees and they have their keen eyesight to warn them of any foxes present nearby - we've not yet seen any detrimental interaction among the eagles and the foxes in the course of the past seven nesting seasons. Thanks again for your interest and please let me know if you have any further concerns.
Regards,
Sarah Gannon-Nagle
Sarah_GannonNagle@fws.gov
Thank you
..
Happy Anniversary Judie and Frank♥♥
Way to go HUNTER !!!!!!! :)
Lolly the activity you was talking about that will take place from the ramp at NCTC. It is a water outfitters place doing it. The cost gives you helmet, paddle and kayak to use. There will be a guide. You have to be able to do the kayak; if it overturns which she said they usually do. You have to be able to swim out from under it. Get the kayak to a rock and lift it to get the water out of it. Then get back in the kayak. I think they should have put "experienced kayakers". I had called and spoke to them. There is an area before I would go that I could pay and trying out the kayak. She said the water there (to try out kayak) is level and not rough as the water we would be going on. I do need to be ready to swim out when it over turns. Cause she said it will. So I could get some training there before I would go. So I don't know what I am going to do. Would love to do it.
Judy that is a wonderful reply that you received! Thanks so much for sharing it
Makes me feel better about the 'shots' that were fired.
Just remember we can ask them question tooo I loved it that they responded within 24hrs I am transfering pic to dis what a job
I am now on Dec file so many to burn LM watching a MT nest
I have returned from dr - I'll need another CY in 3 months. One new small spot showed up on Left lung but he thinks it is just an artery in my lung.
I am not to worry about it per Doc!
So I won't...... He heard much less whizzing, so that is great news!
I'll still accept any prayers offered in
my name I LOVE US ♥
Did you know that CY stands for a typo .... Cat Scan CT lol
Happy Anniversary JUDIE and FRANK
Sorry KAY Is in pain and not feeling well...it must be too much if she asked Seth and Julie to leave!!! Oh my!!!
JO thanks for bringing the news over...please keepus posted.
Thanks also to JO and JUDYE for the updated information as to the goings on in the nest area last night.
Happy Graduation to HUNTER. WAY TO GO!!!
Good morning/ good afternoon one and all.
Still cold here but the sun is out and nothing is falling right now...
Thanks for the update as to what is happening with the camera MEGAN.
OH JO this is great news...congratulations and yes PRAYERS continue and we love you too♥
My still cam was just rainbow limes and now it has gone black!!!
I am glad of the sighting of the two juvies earlier this morning...OK still cam is back and I can see the nest yet rainbow lines are there also...
Getting a nice steady shower with some thunder boomers. I sometimes get rain and the nest doesn't.
Putting my feet up for awhile until the storm passes.
DELPHIA love you and praying for you and sending you positive energy

CAM IS BACK
WE ARE LIVE
Thanks JUDYE for the heads up...
MT nest
Parent in with food and juvie mantles from nine right away. Parent flies off. thunk on camera...
Juvie whimpers and not eating still mantling...
Live Feed is out!!!
FOOD DROP One eagle was in nest manteling it and the other flew in
my feed is ok
Wow - that was quite a lightning/thunder storm with very very heavy downpours.
I guess I'll go check out the Live Feed
I fell asleep just woke to eaglet in nest eating. :)
My live feed is back on...juvie doing a good job on the food that was dropped. I think this is Bro
Looks as though Shep'twn didn't get the rain
Seems the cam is going in and out like the juvies. Keeps us on our toes I guess.
Hoping Kay has a refreshing sleep and makes steady progress in feeling better.
(MARGY - you're welcome -- those kinds of projects keep me sane -- wish that eagle didn't look so grumpy though. LOL)
Hoping everyone is having a great day - wet or sunny! As for me, I'm trying to sew new covers for the patio chairs. EGADS -- why did I ever choose stripes :o(
Juvie goes up to nine branch
Quote from my niece - author unknown:
If we do not feel grateful for what we have
What makes us think we'd be happy with more?
two juvies plotzed in the nest...good sight to see them both
C/A I agree with your niece's quote...I tell it to myself if I ever feel hard done by!!!
Good News, JO and I like your attitude....yes, sounds like you have a trustworthy doctor.
Nice to see the Live Feed back up.
And the storm did seem to miss us...can't argue with that hereabouts
Nice response, Judy..from the NCTC representative...thanks for posting that...
and a round of Happy Anniversary Wishes for Laurel and Joey !
along with those to Frank and Judie
♥♥ all around for you two couples
Sun is shinning as bright as can be!
Thanks Mother Nature for watering my
plants and flowers.
I am hungry and rightfully so as I just notice the time of day.....
BBILW
I am going to meet up with Carolyn in a little while...so Sayonara for now, until tomorrow.
I know there is some news I am not UP on, but do read the updates on Kay and Dephia...and hoping for great outcomes....
Prayers for Wellness
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo
Shep in with big fish Missy gets it.
Shep up to nine branch
Shep takes off from nine branch Bro stops whimpering and Missy stops mantling. SHe is standing on the fish and is now eating.
oh dear...thundering in Martinsburg....Carolyn loves storms so this could be okay....
but hope it bypasses Shepherdstown...
okay, ttfn xoxo
Say hi to CAROLYN MARGY...enjoy your visit together...
Nice to see the eaglets in the nest. I did get a chance to work in the yard. Laurel said she had rain all morning and Jacob was out floating ships in the gutter in the rain. LOL We just had light sprinkles on and off.
Bro is now having nestovers and Missy is plotzed from ten to noon...
Two wandering eaglets back at the nest all splattered out like they are done for lol.....soaring and hunting sure can do an eaglet in. :)
Thinking of Kay a lot today. Hoping they can give her something for the pain.
Lolly, the green onion sauce was yummy. Thank you. Happy Anniversary to Laurel and Joey.
Margy, have fun with Carolyn and give her a hug, please and thank you.
Jo, good report if you were told not to worry. Love and hugs♥
Memory failure: forget who but many thanks for the FWS update on NCTC activities.
Still thinking of Kay and hoping she is getting some healing sleep.
Think I will go and put my feet up Memo Jo style. BBL
Hello again. Hooray, Hooray, Live cam is back!
HAPPY ANNIVERSITY TO JUDIE AND FRANK DARTH!Sounds like she is cooking din din~~yummy!
(That is not an sp error. One of the terms we use from a small child!)
We had peanuts out for squirrel and some of the birds. A tufted titmouse got one! Couldn't get a pic, but got one Sunday of a scruffy nuthatch taking one!
Loretta, my Mr & Mrs Titmouse love peanuts along with the squirrels and blue jays. I've even had the crows fly in when they see them.
Finished din din - Another rain shower but the sun was shinning thru the clouds! Can't find the rainbow! :(
Temps have dropped a few but they say a warm/hot front is headed our way. Great for beach time!
Nest isn't wet, thank goodness.
I need to take care of some things on my kitchen/dinning room table!!! lol
I will return! ♥
Headed to Yoga.
BBL
Congrats, Jo on passing your tests!!! Prayers to keep you well!!
Happy Anniversary for Laurel & Joey too! ☺
Hope Julie can give us a report tonight on Kay. Hope they can fix up her tummy and pain asap. Sometimes people get upset stomach from anesthesia, but I thought they give you something in IV to prevent that?! Did for me.
Loretta where we use to live the nuthach, blue jay, titmouse, sometimes a crow and once or twice a gold finch love the peanuts. Ed had made a board with nails sticking up. He would put the peanuts with shell on onto those nails. Love watching them. :) The smartest bird was the titmouse. He pecked around the shell on the nail until he got it loose and flew off with it lol
Oh crap I forgot to tell you all. I seen an eaglet flying around in New York. I could pull over and watch it for a good while. Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There went flying one of the eaglets off the stump tree. Across the nest and back now.
I think it is Bro flying up to the stump.
Dinner is in the oven. Tonight a new recipe for oven baked asparagus and mac and cheese. LOL I cooked mac and cheese for Jacob earlier this week and have been craving it ever since. Jack ate lunch out today so it was good evening to have it.
Judie, so glad you liked the green onion sauce, we certainly do!
Eaglet in nest almost blends in with the brown of the nest.
Paula had the rainbow - no wonder I couldn't find it! Pretty big sky up there!
I'm over on FB - New pic of Vincent and he has grown so much!
Eaglet in the nest.
Found this comment under the cam...probably because of the training going on
NOTE: AUDIO AND VIDEO MAY BE TURNED OFF PERIODICALLY FROM JUN 7-10 FOR MAINTENANCE
