Janet said...

Good afternoon/early evening to all!

its been a busy day. we went to the hunter's car show down at the fair grounds. it was pretty nice; not the biggest we have seen, but overall, we got out and enjoyed. not real crowded either? maybe it was just early.

had lunch at o charleys...they have a lovely black and bleu salad....romaine with steak, grape tomatoes, bleu cheese, a few croutons and nice ceasar dressing, heavy on the anchovies today! yummmmm my appetite is slowling coming back, but i had a half salad and could not finish it all. of course the soft roll and a couple of cheese wedges might have something to do with that, lol.

we worked in the yard some....tom planted the mimosa tree we have been babying fora couple of years now...and we put some more weed block and white rocks in the flower bed. almost done now, about 3/4 of the way. another 20 bags should finish that one up. it sure looks nice with that white marble.

grandkids will be here shortly. mom and dad are goign to a predators' hockey game. they won't be spending the night, however. i'm still on that cough syrup with codiene in it at night to fight the cough and it just knocks me out too hard. if one of the kids needed me i might not be able to respond.

sounds like everyone has had a nice day...(((hugs)))) light, love and smiles to all!!! human, fin, feather, and fur, indeed. <3

P,S< LYNNE2...do you make your own dog food and if you do, or whomever does, can you email me the recipie? my pharmacist's dog has severe allergies....

JudyEddy said...

JudyEddy said...


IS anyone else keep getting black screen and have refresh?

Lynne2 said...

Judy there is a close up of the MN nest egg...on FB, I just shared it.

Lynne2 said...

Don't hear anything JUdy but it is possible that on such a warm evening that Wood Frogs and Peepers might just be signing!

JudyEddy said...

I know I saw it on there to that is why I asked about the blood looks streaks on the egg

JudyEddy said...


still only see two babes at BW and the noise has now stopped LYNNE2

Lynne2 said...

Well, no one seems concerned about it. To me it even looks like a crack in the egg....??

JudyEddy said...

I hear rustling maybe someone is on the cam its not Shep he is to still

Lynne2 said...

Been looking hard at BWE, and I only see 2 as well.

Hoda said...

I have not heard the frogs JUDYE if you were talking about hearing them on our cam.

Lynne2 said...

times like this when I hate that 20 second reload....

Lynne2 said...

night light

JudyEddy said...

SHEP WANT SOME ATTENTION

Lynne2 said...

distress? our nest?

Hoda said...

Could we try to state clearly which nest we are talking of when someone announces it seems there is a crack in the egg!!!
JUDYE where are you seeing that. Not ours I hope.

SHEP vocalizes

JudyEddy said...

JudyEddy said...

Hoda said...

Thank you Ladies.

JudyEddy said...

belle in on cam

JudyEddy said...



SHEP IS NOT HAPPY HE WANTS TO GO OUT WITH THE BOYS LOL

Hoda said...

Someone lands on the cam Shep vocalizes and is NOT distressed so it must be Belle.

JudyEddy said...

THE STILL CAM HAS A GOOD PIC WITH HIS MOUTH OPEN

JudyEddy said...



I GRABED THE PIC AND I ALSO GOT ONE OF BELLE DOING THE SAME EARLIER

I THINK BELLE IS IGNORING HIM

JudyEddy said...



EARLIER THEY HAD A LITTLE TIFF WE THINK ON THE EXCHANGE SHEP WAS LATE AND BELLE TOLD HIM ABOUT IT LOL

JudyEddy said...



I AM HUNGRY I wasn't earlier so I guess need to go make some bean and bacon soup

Lynne2 said...

The third bobble at BWE really had such a long shot at making it. But I sure hope he's still there, under the flugg somewhere!

Lynne2 said...

what the heck was that noise? sounded like a splash!

Hoda said...

camera shakes...Shep looks up and continues to incubate.

Hoda said...

In the NCTC nest I did not hear a splash or any other sound except a take off when camera shook.

Hoda said...

Night Light on

JudyEddy said...

wow been a while since I opened a can of bean and bacon soup not the same color as it use to be more of a navy bean color I though it use to be darker in color a sort of tan orange sort of not the color it is now Maybe they took some dye out of it who knows I thought odd so I opened another can and both are the same so now I have to cans open Silly me better be safe that sorry didn't want bad bean soup LOL

JudyEddy said...


Soup is done BBIALW

Sandi said...

Evening all! Judy, I sent the dog food recipe to Janet.

Lynne2, how's the new place coming long? Have the dervishes finished whirling?

Lynne2 said...

LOL! Dervishes are still whirling, at least for another hour or so! Then dinner and rest! Tomorrow, an outing with the mongrels!

Lynne2 said...

Steve has been a tropper, he has been reorganizing the kitchen cabinets!

Lynne2 said...

Steve has been a tropper, he has been reorganizing the kitchen cabinets!

Lynne2 said...

Well, I best get to the last of my tasks. I've already been sitting too long and I may never get up!

JudyEddy said...



sounds like someone is knocking on cam

JudyEddy said...

Sandi said...

Lynne, how has the noise level from upstairs been today??

JudyEddy said...



Thanks Sandi
for sending Janet

JudyEddy said...




HEY did I tell you that Zacam has a new flavor of crystal ( melts quick also) that don't taste bad lemon lime tooo late for me with this cold but will remember the next time

JudyEddy said...



Well I really should go make out some bills


Lynne2 said...

wasn't too bad til bigmouth came home about an hour ago. My Lord, I have no idea what one person has so much to shout about, and all he does is yell yell shout scream. I feel very bad for those children. What a terrible way to have to live....

JudyEddy said...

Belle is tucked

and I hear noises on the cam box

Hoda said...

Well talk I heard on the street today, new lingo to my ears:

Herbed up!

Medicinally Enhanced!!!

All in relation to Nelson's favourite Agricultural product!!!

I kept walking and did not crack up till I got to my car!!!
I attended an afternoon gig at Nelson Unplugged the usual Saturday venue of local talet at the Health Food Store!

Now you have it!

JudyEddy said...

did you 420 HODA

Hoda said...

Thank God for Urban Dictionary JUDYE!!!
LOL!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
In the 60's yes and as SHIRLEY asked a while back, I did inhale!!!Not often and not frequently either.
What's out there now is not cool and I would not use it.
Synthetic stuff kills you and causes brain damage and psychotic episodes...

JudyEddy said...


This is so funny one day at work someone asked me if it was 420 I looked at my watch and said
OH I hope not its only 3 they all laughed I dummy didn't know till someone explained it to me what it meant

JudyEddy said...


I have partaken in the past but didn't know the lingo I should say

JudyEddy said...



Need to go see if I have anything that I need to catch up on the DVR BBIALW

stronghunter said...

You can't teach in an American high school and not know about 4-20. Not sure the correct way to write it out, but heard the kids talking every year.

Mema Jo said...

Well it is early but Hubby turned up all the clocks in view - I am getting tired already.

Enjoy the rest of the evening and don't oversleep too much!

Saying Good Night and SED with AOYP

I love us! ♥

JudyEddy said...

I am doing TERRFIC Tuesday watch NCIS Being AI was on that night I usually watch it Yeah for the DVR of cable

I hear something lightly on the cam Shep must be up there watching over his family ok back to TV

Hoda said...

4:20 or 4/20 is how it is written SHIRLEY. It started in a Fresno school I do believe from what I read. They were trying to find a cool way to communicate with each other that they were headed out for a toke.
It does not surprise me.
The kids I taught did not use this terminology but always wanted to know if I participated in the community garden!

Good night JO SED

I will go turn my clocks ahead too the phone and computer do it by themselves. I still have a few old fashioned clocks. I wished my car did it by itself too.
Spring ahead that means an hour later...I am talking to myself so I know what I am about to do...spring ahead an hour later...
BBL

stronghunter said...

Okay, I just accidentally signed out of Google. Hope I get back in.

stronghunter said...

I'm back. Hope you have gotten your clocks taken care of, Hoda.

Judie said...

Good evening all.

The sandperson is making stealthy moves down the hall way so I think it is time to turn the night light on and to let the delivery of sleepy dust begin. Sandperson gets confused with the time change. Restful sleep for all.

stronghunter said...

I would not have known if Canada was on the same daylight savings system as the US. Less confusing for sure.

stronghunter said...

Good night, Judie.

Hoda said...

Yes SHIRLEY we are on the same system for day light savings switches. The business community wanted it so we went with it.It did start in the US and we followed suit, just common sense on this one.

Hoda said...

Goodnight.

PRAYERS♥

I will be at the yogathon tomorrow from 9:00 AM my time PDT to 7:00 PM! That is the plan any way. Wish me well and if I do not last I will check in with you all when I come home...I will check in any way!

I♥US

magpie said...

Good Night Eagle Pals....

long day at work into long evening with personal tasks,
might catch up on reading the posts
before the times changes.

Got a very nice email from Jim today, he is "Jim-Dandy"
and busy with his many interests and the things of life itself.

Prayers for Wellness all Around


God Bless Us,
Every One xoxo ♥

Lynne2 said...

OMG, I never watch Saturday Night Live, but it's on and what a trip down memory lane it is!

Lynne2 said...

Dan Akroyd and Steve Martin as 2 Wild and Crazy Guys...OMG! They have aged but look good!

magpie said...

Hi Lynne....
does it quiet down at nighttime there...???
I am really distressed reading
about BigMouth :(

Lynne2 said...

it's usually quite at night, Margy.

Lynne2 said...

Looks like some bobble heads visible at BWE....night light too bright for me to make out how many.

magpie said...

Thank God for Small Miracles, then
Lynne2.

It's Great Horned Owl O'clock
but I moved the clock ahead so it seems like Mockingbird O'clock now.

So therefore:
Happy Birthday to our very own, Genuine, NatureNut Loretta!
Sooo glad you have family company for your Birthday xoxox ☺ ♥

magpie said...

I noticed that Mom Blackwater is not really fully asleeping for the night, Lynne2,
been watching for a little while

magpie said...

I guess we'll probably see more in the daylight....
at BWE...
Sigh.....hoping for good outcomes there

magpie said...

4:20 or 4/20 - never
heard of it except for here...guess I was not part of
that particular aspect of the culture in my time

Lynne2 said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORETTA!!!

Gee, what a bummer....the birthday girl loses an hour of her birthday with the time change....UGH!

magpie said...

ain't that something, Lynne2!
never thought of that.
I DO Know that our midnight 9-1-1 crew has a shorter night, but gets paid for 8.
Then of course the bars....have to hurry things up by 2, because then it is immediately 3....though they might be able to serve til 3:30...can't remember,
have Not been there nor Done that

Lynne2 said...

Well, Belle is awake, so is Lady Blackwater, and Lucy, too! Restless night for eagles!

Lynne2 said...

Oh my. Must get to bed. Very tired, very sore. Agitated at how long it takes for me to get things done any more.

Lynne2 said...

Have fun with James the Wise Margy!

See you all in the morrow! Going to be SO beautiful!

Good night and prayers for all!

magpie said...

G'Night Lynne2....
hang in there, try not to get discouraged....all things in good time, my friend

I heard it was real nice out today (that would be Saturday)...
didn't quite get to experience it
but on Sunday I will !!

Lolly said...

We are home! What a day!! The game was very exciting. The Terry team got behind by 13 points and it really looked like the other team was going to stomp them. Then after halftime Terry made a come back, the score ran very close, then Terry went ahead and WON!!! It was awesome! Really kind of unexpected. Terry has never been to the playoffs. The other team has been 10 times, and won the last two years. They were probably stunned and wonder what hit them.

We waited around for the team to exit the dressing room. Took lots of pictures then 13 of us went to dinner. We were hungry!!

Drive home we watched the weather radar. The storms were approaching. Saw a awesom lightening show and then it poured. We are safely home and have had over an inch of rain here at the house. Yes, I could say it has been a good day!

Lynne2 said...

two eagles in our nest!

Lynne2 said...

belle off, shep on

Costume Lady said...

Had a fun day...didn't get a thing done, except visit with GG and later with Rachael.

Good night all, prayers and love♥

Lynne2 said...

belle poofed. I think it was Belle, isn't that who was on the nest?

Lynne2 said...

oh dear, I assumed it was Belle because I couldn't see a spot. Now I cannot see a spot on this eagle either! I just don't have a good night picture....

Lolly said...

Sandi...you would appreciate this. Laurel said "Why don't they make the time change at 2:30 in the afternoon during the week?" Oh, boy...end of the school day an hour earlier!!!

Okay, heading to the shower. Joseph had a ball. Loved the day and is already sound asleep. Laurel has headed that way and now my turn. Jack is watching recorded hockey game.

See you all sometime tomorrow.

Night all! SED

Sandi said...

Good Daylight Savings Time Sunday morning my eagle friends!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LORETTA!!! I'm sure your daughter's visit will be your best gift - enjoy!!!!

Lolly, what an exciting basketball game - I bet you're hoarse from screaming! Love the move the clocks during the school day idea - but only in the spring! =)

Hoping to hear there are still 3 chicks at BWE. Once the nest became covered in fur or feathers, I never did get a clear glimpse of the littlest one.

Prayers for continued healing for Dana's dad and Lori's dad, and for Sharon and Andy that they get some relief from their aches and pains.

Tennis for me at 9am. Then grocery store since we didn't get there yesterday. And I would love to get to the local eagle nest to see if there is any action there.

Make it a great day all!

Sandi said...

Hoda, enjoy your yogathon today!! Sounds like fun!

JudyEddy said...

JudyEddy said...

Sandi said...

I think I'm seeing 3 black beaks now at Blackwater!

Sandi said...

Color at our nest!

Looks like feeding time at BWE. I only see 2 heads facing Mom. =(

Sandi said...

I have BWE open on 2 different screens so the picture is changing at different times and for sure, only 2 chicks are being fed.

JudyEddy said...

I see the same thing SANDI only TWO

JudyEddy said...

BELLE is picking at flugg in front of her and on sides

JudyEddy said...

Sandi said...

Morning sunlight is hitting Shep and the nest. Love that pink hue! Have a great day at work Judy!

Blackwater chicks are uncovered again and the nightlight is off. Easier to see the chicks - still looks like just 2.

T-Bird said...

Good morning my eagle peeps.

T-Bird said...

I don't know about you all but I woke up around 7, the same time I usually wake up. What's up with that? : )

Lori O. said...

Good morning everyone ...forgot to change the clocks before I went to bed!

Looking forward to the coming week at our nest.

stronghunter said...

Good morning,

Happy birthday, Loretta!

Sunny here. Haven't checked the temp yet. Snow has been quickly melting away, though.

stronghunter said...

Janet, my bowling goes until the end of April. We'll end with a banquet at a local steak house.

I really need to spend the summer practicing.

glo said...

Good morning Happy Birthday to Loretta It's a rainy melt the snow away and usher in spring kind of day here. I am on schedule as I set my clocks ahead at 7 or so last night LOL. Dex never minds eating an hour earlier. It doesn't go so well when we fall back though. Big week ahead for NCTC Have a Blessed Day everyone.

magpie said...

Teacher Teacher Teacher ♪ ♫
Wren amongst all those other birds at NCTC..

Good Morning Eagle Pals...

still watching all that

stronghunter said...

Always takes me a little while to adjust to the time change, both spring and fall.

magpie said...

and bluebirds


Wild Turkeys at Snowman Cam

Mema Jo said...

Happy Birthday Loretta
Celebrate YOU today

magpie said...

Rowsing reports from Lolly and Wanda last evening...
very exciting one, and heartwarming, two

Trains are loud, and a bluebird is close and chirpy....think somewhere in all the birdy mix might be a Purple Finch...

Good Morning Jo !
and all other Eagle Pals !

and especially,
Happy Birthday NatureNut !

magpie said...

clock is updating but not the
picture at Blackwater...

on to the day here...

Best Wishes for a Super Sunday to Every One

Mema Jo said...

I surprised myself and didn't sleep in this morning - maybe this is the time zone that my body is favoring.

No plans for the day - another relaxing one!

Enjoy the sunshine of the day ♥

stronghunter said...

Love your reports on bird calls, Margy. You have such a good ear.

stronghunter said...

Love your reports on bird calls, Margy. You have such a good ear.

grannyblt said...

I forgot to say that I got an email from someone telling me my FB acct. had been hacked and all I needed to do was download some of his software to keep it safe. Seemed like a scam to me.

magpie said...

Thanks Shirley, but I am getting rusty! Need some outdoor birding time,
Like Grannyblt! Super Birding Report, Lynne1!

BWE has a note they are aware
the cam is stuck...

Lynne2 said...

BLUEBIRDS! Hear them all over in the field out back this AM, too! GOing to find out who owns that field and ask to put a house up!

Lynne2 said...

I see BWE is hung up, but I just read back and see that you all have only seen 2 babies this AM :(

stronghunter said...

Can't imagine your being rusty at all, Margy.

Linda said...

Good Morning...

Have been terribly sick with this cold,strep or whatever it is...

Doctor on Friday said the throat looked very inflamed, red and an antibiotic was definitely needed. He said he didn't need to do any strep tests.

Friday night I was up most of the night again.

Still, this sore throat lingers. I got a humidifier yesterday in the hopes that I could sleep. My nasal passages and throat are dry and raw.

I did finally sleep a couple hours yesterday afternoon and slept last night as well.

I am hoping today will be a turn around day with this darn thing.

Linda said...

Happy Birthday Loweeda!!

What a special birthday, spending it with your daughter. Enjoy your very special day!!

Linda said...

Have been very worried every time I watch the BWE feedings and see that little one not get much chance...

I see the cam is stuck now and some of you are watching and concerned as well. Praying the littlest one makes it.

Have read through the posts and would love to comment, but just don't have the energy today...

Just remember, I celebrate and care and pray with all of you....

Enjoy the sunshine today!!

stronghunter said...

Prayers, Linda. Hope you are much better very soon.

Sandi said...

Home from tennis. Some days you're the dog and some days you're the hydrant ... today, I was NOT the dog!

Linda, I sure hope the antibiotics kick in and help with your throat. This has been dragging on way too long for you!

Waiting for some news on the Blackwater chicks.

Lynne2 said...

Lolly did you feel the earth move??

QUAKE

WV sUSAn said...

Good morning to all at the Sycamore this beautiful Sunday morning.

BWE is still stuck and hoping for a good outcome for #3.

Linda, sorry you've been so sick. Honey tea for you and try some vasoline on a q-tip up your nostrils for some relief.

Did another eagle survey yesterday on the Bluestone River. Our site saw 4 juvie balds, one adult bald and 1 golden. We had soooooo many TVs and one BV pair that played for us. Fluttering around each other doing aerials. It was a beautiful day. We had about 40 or so out at five locations. Also, stopped at Brooks Overlook and observed that pair of eagles twice... going to and returning from Bluestone. Saw one on the nest with two eggs and other adult perched in a nearby sycamore. Just lovely.

Hope everyone is having a great day. It's beautiful outside!! woohoooo

WV sUSAn said...

Oh, lots of black gulls all day, too, on the Bluestone.

Lynne2 said...

we are off with the dogs to Pretty Boy watershed! Steve may pee himself he is so excited to be going somewhere! Hope to see SOMETHING interesting! BBL!

Linda, sure hope you feel better. SRPING IS HERE!!!

Nice report Susan!

BBL

WV sUSAn said...

Lynne, glad you and Steve are getting OUT. Best therapy ever!!!

Lori O. said...


SUSAN and GRANNYBLT, what beautiful days you two had seeing all those gorgeous birds, and Eagles! Would love to see a Golden someday, Susan.


LINDA, hope you get some rest today and start feeling better. Big HUGS!

Lori O. said...


SANDI, sorry you were the hydrant today. Bummer. Still, you got some exercise.


LYNNE2, have a great outting. Can't wait to hear about it.

WV sUSAn said...

Lori, hope to go on a peregrine count soon. I haven't seen peregrines in the wild so it will be very educational for me. Always meet such nice folks, too. Bonus!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning all!

Here at Michaels..just ate a nice big brunch....heading home this afternoon..

Had a nice dinner next to the water last night..good food and good company. Finally got to meet LAURA's parents and brother..

hope everyone is doing well...catch up with ya later

Lolly said...

Good afternoon!

Laurel and Joseph just left. Jack cooked a big breakfast for them and I did not eat a bite. They had very cheesy omelets, bacon, and biscuits. I ate a scrambled egg, a small scone, and a banana. Aren't I virtuous! :)

Lynne, that earth quake was very close, but, no, did not feel a thing. We were all asleep. Oh, Joseph may have been up and watching TV.

Linda, so very sorry you have been so sick. Do hope those antibiotics do the trick. This is your busy time of the year, too. Get well, Girl!!!

WV sUSAn said...

BWE is back. I'm seeing only two bobbleheads.

Sandi said...

Susan, I've been watching too and see the same as you. Nothing is mentioned on the site yet so maybe they're holding their breath and wishing for the best.

Home from the grocery store. Now off to the eagle nest to see if we can catch any action there! Fingers crossed!

WV sUSAn said...

Have fun, Sandi!!

WV sUSAn said...

Yes, two at BWE. Bet she's covered up #3.

NCSuzan said...

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, Loretta.

Sandi said...

Bird count for this afternoon:
2 great blue herons ( 1 perched in a tree, 1 in flight)
2 coots
1 loon
6 hooded mergansers (sp?)
and ...
ONE ADULT BALD EAGLE!!!!

When we got to the pier where we sit to watch the nest, we didn't see anything so we decided to walk along the shore to a point where a fellow teacher told me there is another nest. When we got to the point, I heard eagle calls - behind me - back where the first nest was!

Hurried back to the nest and, sure enough, there was a big, beautiful bald eagle standing on the side of the nest. It took off shortly after we got back to the pier. We waited another 20 minutes to see if it would return but it didn't. I'm wondering now if it was a parent switch and we just couldn't see the parent in the nest?

So that tells me the nest is active and makes me think there are either eggs or small chicks in it. We'll go back again next weekend.

I see the BWE chicks enjoying the sunshine. Not as warm as I thought it was supposed to get today, at least not right on the water where we were.

From the Blackwater Facebook page:

Friends of Blackwater NWR Patti: I do think we lost the youngest on Saturday. The cam just came back up, so I'm waiting on confirmation. But we did not see him in the last three feedings.

Friends of Blackwater NWR There are a lot of duck feathers still blowing around. I do know we've had several feedings with just two heads and two bodies seen.

Right Judy. I assumed #3 had been covered. When Pa came in, he stood around the nest a little bit and then went at the nest floor at around 5:30 and dug a hole. I swear he dug in there to see. Hadn't seen that before. See the hole when he stands up.
