ONE OF THE LITTLE BOBBLE HEADS
HEAD IS ALMOST IN THAT DARN HOLE

JudyEddy said...


about an hour ago
Hi all: We didn't want to post anything until we were pretty sure, but it appears our third chick didn't make it. We've watched at least five feedings now with only two heads and bodies visible, and no sign of the youngest. We updated our Eagle Cam Web Log with more news from the nest, so please check it out.

Status of the Third Chick
blackwatereaglecam.wordpress.com
Throughout the day on Saturday, we saw meals where the third chick barely moved or didn't move at all as the other two chicks fed. There has been a large quantity of food in the nest over the last ...

ROLLING EGGS NOW BUT NO BELLE HE IS BACK DOWN ON THE EGGS

Lynne2 said...

Hi all! So sorry to read of BWE chick.

We had a FANTASTIC outing today! I had a "lifer"!!!! Will be keeping you in suspense though, so I can get my pictures together!

It did us, especially Steve, such a world of good to get out and about! he overdid of course!

Judie said...

Linda, sure hope the medication works quickly and you feel better soon.

Lynne2, glad you and Steve were able to get out for a while today. Sure he must be happy.

Sandi, so glad you got to see some eagles.

Seems Blackwater lost a baby. Always so sad. But they still have two to raise so that is a good outcome.

Okay, for all you Mountaineers -- you may all holler wahoo -- WVA gymnasts beat GDub today BUT not by much.

Not so virtuous as Lolly. Popeye's tonight. Yum!

Shep was on duty when I checked.

JudyEddy said...



I WAS JUST TOLD THAT THERE ARE

THREE

EAGLETS

AT THE CELL PHONE TOWER

WOW WILL HAVE TO STOP MORE OFTEN

THEY SHOULD BE BRANCHING BY NOW

JudyEddy said...



THAT'S BELLE I SEE I MISSED
THE SWITCH

I GUESS

JudyEddy said...



I am talking to a gal on FB that lives
in Seminole same county as me she
is the one that said that there
are three eagles
she is a Pinellas CO Eagle volunteer
I need to find out more about that

JudyEddy said...



too cool she is going to get me info on becoming a volunteer also
she just friend requested me too

JudyEddy said...

SHEP IS PLEAING HIS CASE

HANNOCK says 2nd egg but no confirmation yet

JudyEddy said...



my trash can
is over the M in March

just saying LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Home!!

Got Nick fed, gotta find something to eat.

I read about the 3rd chick at BWE...poor little guy :(

Did anyone post that Lucy and Larry have an egg? Lucy lost her right foot this past winter, but she has adapted, and along with Larry, they are doing great. This is the Eagles4kids nest.

paula eagleholic said...

JudyE, 2nd egg for which nest?

Lynne2 said...

Lucy and Larry do indeed have an egg! Laid on Saturday afternoon, and I am very much pulling for them!

Hi Paula! Hope you had a great weekend!

JudyEddy said...




DELTA NEST PAULA


SUCH A SMALL WORLD
THE GAL SUE THAT I HAVE BEEN
TALKING ON FACEBOOK ALSO WORKED
AT ZAYREs the same time I did off course she was 17 when she started
and I was old enough to be her mom
so I don't remember her

JudyEddy said...



and it was CONFIRMED I got a video notice

JudyEddy said...



Here is a video of the egg

Delta EGG

paula eagleholic said...

I remember Zayre's!

Mema Jo said...

Sorry to hear about the 3rd chick at BWE
I guess that is why I am happy to have 2 eggs in our nest.

Today has seemed quite long to me.
I guess because it started so early!

I might find a TV show later "The Good Wife" I haven't watched it in a while - I got hooked to Downton Abbey.

DanaMo said...

Evening all!
Ready for bed. School tomorrow. Is it June yet? I'm so ready for this year to be over. Trying to find my good attitude, but it went out the door a while ago this year.

Question: Is Lucy the eagle who had a severe talon injury this past winter? I get all these nests confused but I thought there were pictures on FB a while back with a bad injury and they weren't sure she was going to make it (If I am remembering correctly). Now she looks good and has an egg? Thanks for any assistance.

Judie said...

Welcome home Paula.

Guess all the athletics this weekend plus the time change have done me in so will be heading to the pillows soon. Besides, I'm full of Popeye's.

The sandperson will depart in about an hour. The night light is set to turn on at 11pm. Restful sleep for all.

JudyEddy said...


DANAMO YES THAT IS CORRECT WITH LOOSING THE LEG PAULA SAID SOMETHING ALSO AT 7:53 ALSO

Lolly said...

Have been lurking most of the day. After Friday in Denton and Yesterday's trip I crashed today and so did Jack. I even fell asleep in my chair this afternoon. I felt so washed out that I worried I was getting the bug, but no, just pooped!

Lynne, sounds like you and Steve had a great day. Yea!

I think I forgot to wish our very own LOWEEDA A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. HOPE YOUR FUBBY TREATED YOU GRANDLY!!! Love and hugs!!!

Hoda said...

I have not read back!!!

I wanted you all to know I made it!!! 6 yoga classes in one day!!!
Yogathon done and I won a basket of locally made soap because I was the third highest donation!!!
I laughed out loud as one of the soaps is hemp!!! Rasta Bar Hemp soap it says.Ain't jokin' mon!!! Can't get no bettah!!!
and being as how we are in Canada it says it in French too...

I just got invited to go skiing tomorrow! I said yes!!! I think I need to get to bed early tonight.

It is still day light and it is 6:40 PM my time...I like that part of the time change.

I hope you are all alright.

I ♥ US

stronghunter said...

Good evening.

Anyone want a slice of pizza, or maybe even two or three slices.

I ordered tonight. Thought one extra large would be more than enough for the four of us, but then noticed that they have a "buy one get one free" policy at that place, so I decided two large ones would be okay.

Well, we got lots of leftover pizza, so if anyone wants to check out the refrigerator, it's there. Just keep Luna away from it. She'll eat it all.

stronghunter said...

Too bad about the little BW chick. It must have fought long and hard to get its little self out of that egg. Nature is tough sometimes.

JudyEddy said...


OH HODA I am laughing my arses off over the HEMP soap LOL LOL and now I am coughing coughing from laughing but its worth the cough LOL

stronghunter said...

Hemp soap. Hoda, you will have to tell us how the fragrance.

stronghunter said...


Went out with Kathryn today--lunch and shopping. Bought some earrings and a necklace for myself.

WV sUSAn said...

Lucy had injuries to both legs. Probably a trap in Nov. Now left leg healed and right foot has only a couple short claws. Recovered well enough to lay first egg of the season. Young gal about 5 or 6. Larry, her guy, is the best. Great year ahead for eagles4kids!!

stronghunter said...

Also picked up some cat pheromones for George. A refill for the diffuser. Hope it works as well as it claims to work.

stronghunter said...

My, that wind is whistling at the nest tonight.

Hoda said...

So sorry about the BW Chick.

JUDYE I posted a picture on FB...don't make any comments about the hemp soap as the organizers and teachers are FB friends.

stronghunter said...

Judy, your comment about the neighbors hearing the wind on your computer reminded me of a day in my classroom when we were trying to figure out what the strange noises we kept hearing were. Turns out it was the wind at the nest coming from my computer.

Lynne2 said...

All information on Larry and Lucy can be found on FB at eagles4kids or at www.eagles4kids.com

magpie said...

I love pizza, anytime, anyday, anyway...wish I were closer,
Shirley!

89 to 85 bowling score....
James won...
I got bamboozled out of a spare and only 9 pins counted on another one...(some electronic glitch....)but it was fair and square, and I am happy James came out ahead.
Gutter Gaurds they are the Cat's Meow!

Good Evening Eagle Pals....

magpie said...

Very eloquent post by Lisa on BWE about the status of the 3rd chick...sad, but well stated....
so sorry, but the two older ones
are doing so well...

Wonderful birding reports from Sandi and Susan and Grannyblt before that, and I have one.....

wait for it...wait for it....

magpie said...

Tundra Swans !! About 75 or so....
I was out unloading the car from the day's acivities....about 9:45 tonight .. heard them then saw them! Beautiful waves of hoo-hooing swans....headed North of Course !!
immediatly thereafter, a fire truck siren...all split second timing really....
Have not truly seen them since
December 2006...

Hoda said...

So glad you and STEVE had a great and terrific outing LYNNE. I can not wait to see the pictures.

I am glad that others try to figure out the source of the noise and then discover it is from their own place!!! Sounds from the iphone tend to confuse me a great deal...the reminder alarms sound differen depending on where the phone is. If it is on the couch or on the table the surface affects the sound and I get confused.

Linda my friend who had a stroke three years ago and fell off the mountain and had to medivaced off, is back from her check up in Vancouver. Our hospital does not have such advanced equipment to do the tests here. Anyway she did not talk of her tests there but phoned to let me know she will ski at 11:30 and for me to join her!!! She is a great Dragon Boat Lady.
So I will meet her to ski at 11:30 AM!!!

Hoda said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORETTA I hope you had a terrific day!

magpie said...

Shirley....so very happy you treated yourself to some jewelry toay, and had some shopping time with Kathryn...
Bet you will be Beauteous sporting those gems !!

magpie said...

Wonderful, ALL your reports, Hoda...about your friend and your Yogathon earlier...AND your prize soap !

Congratulations !

magpie said...

Ditto....so very happy about Lynne2 and Steve getting out and hearing some GOOD sounds and seeing some GOOD sights today...
can't wait for a full report and pictures, but I guess I will HAVE to wait 'til it goes up

JudyEddy said...

OH HODA so sorry about LINDA

MARGY great sighting today
made ya smile Always nice to smile

magpie said...

Also heard just a little smattering of Spring Peeper sounds in James's county, Morgan County WV.

I know there are some Coltsfoot wildflowers up, and I know just where to go look: out Swinging Bridge way....
that will happen Thursday...!

magpie said...

Sure did, JudyE...hope you have or will be turning the corner on your recent ailments...

I heard that wind a'whistling at the Royal Nest earlier today also
but I turned my computer off when I left ☺

Might sleep with the window open tonight, might hear more Tundra Swans..

magpie said...

I can always eat Popeye's Chicken and their smashed potatoes, anytime, anyday...and we have one here....
glad Judie got feasted up there today...my turn is coming !!

Hoda said...

What amazes me about LINDA is she has suffered for years from cancer and had the treatment and then was declared cancer free. The treatment took a lot out of her so she joined the Dragon Boat team to build her strength and she is one of the best paddleres there. Six months later she was hiking up the mountain when she had a stroke and fell off!!! She is back to normal now and is a terrific skier...The only side effect is she forgets things unless she writes them down and I told her I wished I had an excuse for doing the same thing! She laughed. Her kids are good to her. Her husband left when she first got the cancer!!! His loss I say!!!

Hoda said...

I am talking about my friend Linda here not our LINDA in Penn...

magpie said...

Hoping that Linda...will be turning the corner on her
miserable discomforts here very quickly also ...
darn it ! That sounds terrible, her sickness :(

magpie said...

Very courageous and strong lady, your pal Linda, Hoda...am sure she cherishes your friendship and support ♥

magpie said...

Monday is Come Home Day for my elderly neighbor friend, Lorraine....she has been away from home since January 3.
I'm the transporter...and the transition person tomorrow,
will be a full day...
what a saga for her, I think she will cry when she crosses the threshold into HER Roost...

Home health care will start on Wednesday....

Thanks for all your prayers Pals...I am SURE they have helped.

magpie said...

I cleaned her place as well as I could but dared NOT move anything around too much...she has her
groove going there and I can't mess that up! Even to where she wants special shoes placed...and gowns and coats and all that...
did grocery shopping and took care of most of the bills with her permission...

and finally turned the heat back up

magpie said...

her bills, her money, I should say...she has saved a bundle in a way, being under nursing care
with good insurance coverage.

magpie said...

So on that note, I need a good night's rest...

I won't be on much Monday ...
gonna be busy.

Wishing the best for all...

DanaMo: you light a candle into the darkness for many, whether you know it or not....
June WILL arrive, and may you feel blessed for all you are accomplishing...♥

paula eagleholic said...

Watched the good wife...trying to get laundry done and watching red widow...missed the first show.

Heading to work tomorrow...it is just me in the office now...other persone I worked with, well Friday was her last day. Hope I can get up on time.

magpie said...

Prayers for Wellness, Comfort, Peace and Serenity for all and I have to include myself in that one...
sometimes one just does not always feel they have the strength they need....that's when I really have to bump it up!

Good Night, Precious Pals...
Thank YOU for your dear friendship

God Bless Us,
Every One xoxox ♥

Oh PS: I had a GREAT time with James the Wise Kidster, he is a stitch ! Happy little fellow who shares his joy freely xo ♥☺

magpie said...

Neat open up ad for NCTC live feed...
"Away" about RVs...

Lynne2 said...

OK pics are up on FB....Margy, I'll send the link to you as I did before!

JEALOUS!!! But maybe I'll hear the swans tonight on the dog walk.

HODA....you are really amazing! And your friend Linda is too!

Lynne2 said...

MARGY are you still here???

magpie said...

Thanks Lynne...yeah, eyes and ears to the sky !
by the way, card is in the mail...
but will arrive late I think, for Steve's Birthday ☺

Paula
I read your post also...
sad...your friend's last day....and just you in the office...
hope your days will go well..
Play some Jammin' Music ♪ ♫

Hoda said...

We made 1500 dollars today for the yogathon and there are still pledges to come in expected to be a thousand dollars more!!! All goes to Youth in Kenyan slums for a youth centre...Beautiful children...God Bless them.

magpie said...

Yep, Lynne2... said Good Night but I have some emails to crank out....

Lynne2 said...

MARGY.....wait til you see what I FINALLY saw today!!! WOO HOO! I sent email with link!

Hoda said...

Yes prayers for our LINDA too and it is time to turn that corner please GOD.

Holding space for you tomorrow PAULA and for all your coworkers who are already finished with their work...I hope you find a way to all stay in touch somehow...maybe lunches every once in a while to share time and to visit. It is the hardest thing about ending work...all of a sudden we isolate and it becomes difficult to think straight...

Hoda said...

LYNNE did you post your pictures of what you saw today yet? Where?

magpie said...

Tee-totally Awesome, Lynne2!
Thank You! Still perusing the pics...
You are magnificent !
Prettyboy Reservoir what a neat name....I am thinking Road Trip !!

magpie said...

I SAW Mountain Laurel starting to come out today, Lynne!
I have never seen snowdrops, and it has been years since I saw Mourning Cloak...

NatureNut said...

Boy, this day just zipped by! Must have been that Daylight Savings Time! LOL

Thank you, all you caring sweet people for the Birthday good wishes!!! ☺ Had a pleasant day catching up with Sherry, but boo, she goes to hotel and work in AM and they will be busy 'til 8 PM in evenings, so we probably won't get together again. But as soon as their house (mall) is done, I'll probably shuffle off to TX as long as we have a cat sitter!
Hope everyone under the weather is feeling better ASAP
I guess this is the week to be very vigilant watching the nest!
BTW, even if there are birthdays that others don't forget, you can consider getting younger each year by subtracting instead!!!!
Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)

magpie said...

Night-Night, Loretta...
glad you enjoyed your birthday...
start looking NOW for that cat-sitter!
xo

magpie said...

Super Duper Pictures Lynne...
Steve looks great, so dapper, and Puddles, Precious...

the raccoon.....oh, dear...
I saw a groundhog kind of like that
at Swinging Bridge a few years ago...the Tiger Swallowtails loved it....lots of minerals I guess
I thought of you immediately when I saw the Mountain Laurel today...

How about Redbuds ?? I know it's too early but oh well....
I don't know what the pine is...

magpie said...

But wait a minute, Lynne2:
...how come WHY did you not hand the camera to Steve so he could get a picture of YOU ?????

Thanks again.....
I have not ever seen skunk cabbage either

Good Night, must shag along now...
xoxo ♥

Hoda said...

I will have to call it a day too.

I will check in after skiing tomorrow.
I also have to do groceries tomorrow as I did not have time to do so today.

Goodnight.

PRAYERS ♥

paula eagleholic said...

gotta go see Lynne's pics...

Thanks, Margy for your kind thoughts. We were talking about getting everyone together later....


Susan, I hadn't thought about Lucy being caught in a trap...very possible.

Mema Jo said...

I'm ready to call it a day and say Good Night to all.
Hoping for more nice weather tomorrow

God bless us and our loved ones and watch over all of us

Nite ♥ AOYP SED

stronghunter said...

Margy, you sound absolutely poetic today with all of your comments about nature and your neighbor friend. Beautiful thoughts.

stronghunter said...

Didn't get groceries today, either, Hoda. Kind of think we might be having left-over pizza tomorrow night, though. Might need to think of something to go with it. Maybe a salad. Kids at school always had French fries, but that sounds downright unhealthy.

stronghunter said...

It is getting late. Tomorrow is a school day for Hunter.

Interesting to see the bits of snow still in the shady spots around here.

paula eagleholic said...

Going to try and hit the hay...got 3 alarms set!

Lowreeda, I missed withing you a Happy Birthday! Glad you got to spend some time with Sherry!

SED, love and hugs to all ♥

stronghunter said...

Hoda, I did a little research on your soaps, and found these comments at their website:

"Try Rasta-Bar-Hemp soap and shampoo bar! It’s a mixin’ with nettles, cocoa butter, shea butter and hemp oil, yah. Smellin’ with lemons and mint, jah. Rippin’ for oily hair and skin shine.Ain’t joking mon. Can’t get no bettah!"

Wow! That is some kind of soap. Should make you beauteous.

Now, what will Judie say? This is better than brownies.

stronghunter said...

Good night, Paula. I am heading that way as well. SED, everyone.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE...
Beautiful day today...hoping for the same tomorrow.

Love and prayers for all♥

DanaMo said...

Good morning!
Thanks JudyE and Paula (I found the post at 7:53). I had read all the posts early on about Lucy, but never kept up to date on what happened to the talon. So she did lose it! WOW what a gal!!

Annemarie, Adam and Andrew are all off today! Poosha not fair! :)

Already have sauce in the crockpot this morning. Making baked ziti for the cast and crew this week. Tech. week. Busy for the kiddos. Show is this weekend!! Can't wait to see it.

Annemarie served (alter server for non Catholics assists the priest during mass) and at the end Fr. Marty was giving a plug for the play. Told everyone that Annemarie is in it and asked her what she is. She said a mouse (we're doing Cinderella). He said, well you're no mouse! LOL! Guess she takes after her mom, who takes after her mom and everyone knows our personality. She didn't even blush!

Dad goes to Hopkins tomorrow. Staples come out and we get some reports I guess. Then we see dad's regular oncologist who saved his life yet again!

Thanks Margy. I need the encouragement some weeks to get through and feel like I am making a difference!! And Hoda for the positive remarks on FB!

Sandi said...

Good foggy Monday morning my eagle friends! 2 hour fog delay for me! YAY!!!

Linda, I sure hope you are feeling better today! I've been sending prayers and positive energy your way!!

Margy, what a blessing you have been for your friend and neighbor Lorraine! And today you can celebrate her homecoming with her - good for you!

Eagle calls at the nest - sounds like Shep's voice, so I guess he's been on night duty (he's facing away from the cam so I can't see a spot).

Need to check out Lynne's photos on FB. I'll be back!

Sandi said...

Switch just happened - Belle is on the eggs!

Lynne2, great photos! Steve looked happy to be out and about, and so did Daisy and Puddles! Happy birthday to Steve today!

Hoda, good on you for making it through the yogathon! Enjoy skiing today!

Continued prayers for Dana's dad and Lori's dad, and prayers for pain relief for Sharon's hip, Andy's shoulder/neck, Linda's throat, Margy's hand/wrist and Bev's foot.

Make it a great day all!!

Lynne2 said...

Good Morning all!

I don't like DST and when I am Queen, it will exist only in the summer months for the benefit of school kids on break. I like SUNSHINE in the morning...this is utter NONSENSE and can anyone REALLY explain WHY we do this?

Enough whining. Time to get a move on towards work!

Going to be a beauty of day again...hope you all have a good one and I'll check in later!

Happy HATCHING Week!! WOO HOO!

JudyEddy said...

GOOD MORNING eaglebuds I am so sleepy LYNNE2 needs to get her butt on the throne and change the law LOL

no there is a guy down here trying to make it a law that there will be no time changing calling it the SUNSHINE LAW he started working on it this year but I guess wasn't successful Was on the news just recently OH well maybe next year

JudyEddy said...

61° out now sleep with the windows open WAS NICE

DanaMo said...

Is it hatching week for us?
Your Majesty, I agree! When can we make you queen?

Sandi said...

Dana, yes it is hatching week, starting around Wednesday. Fingers crossed!

T-Bird said...

Good morning my fine friends.

Lori O. said...

YAY, hatching week for us! I've been waiting!

DANAMO, good luck with your Dad at his doc appointments today. Hoping for great news!

SANDI, glad you got a 2 hr fog delay....makes your day go a lot faster! I know you love that.

Good Morning JUDYE!!! Have a great day at work today.

HODA the Amazing, congrats on completing your yogathon, AND going skiing again today. Amazing!

This time change is so
weird...don't like it!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all!

Yep, it's hatching week! So exciting!

Margy, forgot to mention how happy I am to hear Lorraine is coming back home.

Lori O. said...

Good Morning, PAULA and MARGY!

Kate is coming this weekend, so I have lots of studying to do if I am to have any free time when she gets here! She's bringing Dalai, too!

Judie said...

Good morning.

Hope Paula is able to get much accomplished today without feeling too sad.

Margy, Lorraine will be so happy to see what you have done for her. She will be forever grateful.

Will be thinking of Dana's dad and of getting good results.

As for Hoda, well I can only continue to say she is amazing but then...I can only imagine how lovely she smells while eating her brownies. lol

My Spring break will begin with coffee, the news, laundry, thorough kitchen cleaning, followed by feets going up. Depending on the weather, may try to clean the upstairs windows tomorrow.

And best of all, bobble head watch begins. So wanting two healthy babes.

BBL

Janet said...

Morning all.

Heading back to the dr. Have a 9 a.m. appt. Still not right. I hate missing work like this, but I don't think I could give a massage if I had to do so.

So sad about BW loosing that baby, but that's nature. I was afraid of that when I read how late it hatched....I think we all were.

Rainy day here in Nashville. I am wanting to go back to bed. Olivia is still in the bed, complaints of a sick stomach this morning. Not sure if its that or spring forward fever....

As for me, my chest is heavy and I can't stop coughing, esp at night. And tired. So darned tire.

Will see what the doc says...

HODA: you soap sounds nice. Hemp is in many things, if you google its uses...and I think everyone here will respect you enough not to mention it on the FB. But sure if fun to tease on here! ;}

Light, love and hugs to all. Heading out to the dr in about 20 min. BBL

Judie said...
