Thursday

I let the guys know last night that the still was locked.  They are still working through it.

Cold today, and windy. 

Fresh thread.

Kay said...

Good Morning JUDYE and all our Eagle Buds as you come on board for the day !

LOLLY, what a great ranger visit and now the prospect of seeing their eagle nest ! Thanks for the Humboldt Bay link--I've bookmarked it. So nice the way you share, giving us all a vicarious vacation right along with you !

SHIRLEY, hope you'll wake to find the migraine gone.

Penny and Seth will soon be up and my day will start in earnest. We watched the Cosmos rerun last night and I didn't fall asleep. He's happy to catch up so he'll be up to speed for the 2nd installment tonight.

Snow expected here today---ugh---will this winter ever end ?



Kay said...

HODA, glad you're looking ahead to Dragon Boat season optimistically ! It's good the women in question are not on your team. The negative vibes you shared last year are behind you, Sunshine Girl !

PAULA, what a busy day you and Larry had--s'wonderful that he's up to a super weekend with you and friends as well as getting some chores done.

JudyEddy said...

eagle exchange

Sandi said...

Goodorming Judy, Kay, and all my eagle friends. Sun is rising on the nest this morning but, according to Brian, it will be snowing on the nest tonight. Oh well, what can I say?

Lolly, I can't wait to hear about your day today!

Paula, prayers continue for Larry glad he was able to enjoy the beautiful day yesterday at his place.

Hoda, I don't do yoga but I agree that yoga and loud music just don't go together. Enjoy your skiing today and that beautiful house you're staying in.

Kay, you are so lucky to still have that close relationship with Seth and I know how happy it makes you. Obviously, it makes Seth just as happy. Enjoy every minute with him.

Brian came, Lynnis didn't - I was disappointed not to get to see her since it's been 3 months. We had a great afternoon and evening with Brian - reminisced about the old neighborhood where we lived for 30 years and where Brian and Kevin grew up.

The things Brian says about what's going on in Yemen and what he suspects will happen soon upset me very much - will not elaborate, but let's just say a son should not tell his parents such upsetting things. He should not dispel his parents naive thoughts that he is 100% safe and all is well.

As for the missing plane, his theory is that Hezbollah is involved. He also thinks there are governments (the US and other superpowers) that already know where the plane is but don't want to announce it b/c they don't want other countries to know they have those capabilities. Very interesting.

Mom did very little talking, but was alert the whole evening and listened and contributed on occasion. She was just happy to be with her grandson.

Looks like the snow won't start in Bethany til tonight so it won't affect our drive home. Looks like it may affect our first 30-minute longer school day tomorrow though - how ironic! :)

Have a good day all!

stronghunter said...

Good morning,

Having coffee and contemplating the new day.

Will have to try that link again, Lolly. For some reason, I was not able to get a view.

Feeling fine this morning. An ocular migraine is not painful, just interferes with vision.

Interesting thoughts from Brian, Sandi. I've been following the news about the missing plane and thinking about all of those people who've just disappeared. Very mysterious and very sad.

Watching an egg roll at the nest. That is a deep cup, all neatly rounded out. Not looking forward to yet another snowstorm on our Sycamore Palace. I hear the wind blowing there this morning.

Tomorrow is supposed to be Hunter's first extended school day, too, Sandi, and it looks like he will be home. He's with his dad today.

Mema Jo said...

Good morning to all ♥

Oh Sandi - Disappointing that Lynnis didn't make the trip with Brian - I hope she is doing well and feeling healthy. I guess Brian couldn't contain his own feelings about Yeman.
I will keep praying for his safety and also for you and Denny's stress level of worrying. About the plane - he could be so right about what happened. I really don't think the public will ever really know -

Mema Jo said...

The nest looks good with the sunshine but I hope they even bring in more flugg with the snow headed our way.

Mema Jo said...

There is a small bird hopping around the left side of our nest..

Judie said...

Good morning.

A quick visit. Having lunch with Interpol friend then to the optical shop to turn in my new prescription.

Mom Berry is absolutely soaking wet. Valiantly trying to keep Babe Berry under the mumbrella.

Out nest is quiet and in sunshine. Do hope snow, if any, will not linger in the nest.

Sandi, glad the reunion went well. Wish Lynnis had joined in. Safe drive home.

Yes, Shirley, I think Hunter is pleased with his new shorts. You and Kathryn have made good selections.

Off to try to make myself look less scary. BB late afternoon.

Have a terrific day everyone.

stronghunter said...

Big commotion at the bird feeder just outside the back door. Kathryn put some goodies out there and the squirrels arrived. They had a nice feast. They will probably hunker down when the snow arrives, so they need to feast while they can. I put an ear of corn out there for them. They do tend to drag those away sometimes.

Hoda said...

Good morning

Yes on BRIAN'S thoughts on Hizbollah in Malaysia.
Yes on USA knowing where the plane is. Pings were sent out to Satellite up to eight hours after the plane disappeared off of Civilian Radar. Inconceivable to believe that USA military radar did not pick them up. USA BASES in a variety of areas in the region.
Yes on the Yemen. No on the time frame with which things will speed up. You said he will be out of there by October, thank God!

Love and Peace and Light to all.

I will check back in after yoga.

Hoda said...

Based on what Asian and Middle Eastern news are saying the Chinese also know where and what of the Malaysian airliner. They have put pressure to redirect the search to certain areas. Their satellites also picked up pings from what is reported.It is a political pressure time and there is no love lost between the Malaysians and the Chinese. The majority of the passengers were Chinese.

stronghunter said...

BBL--Need to get out and accomplish some things.

Big cam shake just now.

stronghunter said...

Interesting ideas, Hoda. I will keep watching and listening.

Lolly said...

Good morning! Having a lazy morning....needed it. Washed my hair, Jack cooked a big breakfast. I even got the cam up and saw Belle messing with the flugg. Golly, I do hope you do not get much if any snow!

We got rain at home yesterday. Do not know how much but apparently significant.

Cloudy and cool today. Will dry my hair, get beautiful, (LOL) and then head out!

JudyEddy said...

ON Lunch and got caught up
So happy you had a great night and talk family minus one Lynnis SANDI

hope all is good with everyone from what I read so far so good



JudyEddy said...

eggs unattended

JudyEddy said...

both eagles in nest

JudyEddy said...

now only one

JudyEddy said...

E$ in the NE FL nest is now branching Have you checked the nest of late Yesterday Armadillo was lunch and now just the tail is left And a huge branch was brought in yesterday the nest is a mess Where he sleeps is a good guess

JudyEddy said...

THE GA nest the female is soaked feeding the eaglet

Lolly said...

Found nest. Saw eagle fly away. Got pic of nest but not eagle. Softly raining. Will come back another time!

paula eagleholic said...

Cool Lolly .

I think IWS helped get the humble bay eagle cm up...they might still have the link on their page too.

Did some reading thru the cancer info they gave Larry ...eating tips and all sorts of other info.Didn't know nonfat dried milk was a protein booster.

Went to grocery store for beef Irish stew ingredients...having a party at work tomorrow ...hope we don't get too much snow.

Larry staying at his place tonight ..I am heading home shortly .

Sandi... sorry Lynnis didn't come..but sounds like a nice evening .

They have already sprayed the salt brine up here.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh saw an osprey this morning ...think he was chasing an eagle :-)

Lolly said...

Back at the trailer. With spotting scope could see eagle sitting in nest. We left, did not go far and went back as rain stopped. Watched another bird hunting. Not sure about it, but maybe a Northern Harrier. Whatever....it was beautiful!

Costume Lady said...

It is snowing like it means it! Not fretting, yet...only 1 - 3 inches if the weatherman is spot on this time. We and the eagles can handle that, then warming up tomorrow and Tuesday.
Soup Kitchen Tuesday, Pastor Eddie is taking over Capt. Gene's duties. I have a notion he will wish he had retired last year! ;)

Judie said...

Hi all,

Back home. Ordered two new pair of spectacles. One for indoor and one sunglasses. My two pair of frames are about to head to the secret hiding place so new were needed.

Did a lot of walking. Have update now for doctor. Left leg good, right still tight, some burning.

Paula, look up something called the Garcia Effect. A learned food aversion. May or may not be helpful for Larry.

Osprey? So cool. Will need to check on Lock of Lowes soon.

GA mom still soaked. Babe getting a light shower.

Getting dark here. Looks as if the nest is not yet getting rain/snow/sleet. We may get 3 to four inches. Grrrrrr!

Oh, Shirley, saw a young fella today with purple knee-length shorts and purple design basketball socks. Quite stylish, indeed.

Lolly, y'all just keep traveling along having fun.

Checked Derek and Savannah's nest. They were incubating. Now see no eggs or bobble heads. Wonder what happened.

Preparing to head to the scullery. Shake N Bake pork chop with lyonaise potatoes and salad.

BBL




JudyEddy said...

Just got home from work and guess what all three live feed are up and running all day wow wow I am shocked but I wonder if they are behind in time will have to watch may have to F5 one to make it current

JudyEddy said...




one eagle in nest Maybe its Shep hard to tell don't see the V




JudyEddy said...

I have to be at work at 730 need to go adjust clock before I forget it

I know they are doing this on purpose and guess what I now have another asst mgr Kris she just started this week Will have to talk with her in regards to scheduling me Our AM don't communicate with each other I know

JudyEddy said...




temp at the nest says 36° NOW


JudyEddy said...

NOW 35 and it says light snow on the forecast but I see none at nest YET

Our temps is 80° and we have the cool front coming in so will be a SLOPPY day the weather man said for tomorrow Rain rain and messy

JudyEddy said...

Looks like faceplant for Shep I love how he nods of often

Costume Lady said...

A note to PAULA: When GG was being treated with radiation for the cancerous tumor near her spine, she received the radiation from the front of her chest (throat area). It made her throat very sore and painful to eat. Doctor gave her a lidocaine product to swallow just before she ate and anytime during the day when she was uncomfortable. It helped some, but not enough to eat solid foods. She lost so much weight that I was fearful of losing her...I began experimenting with foods that she could or could not eat. Baby food and Ensure got her through this most difficult time and I do hope that this will work for Larry if he can't eat a normal diet. Make sure he gets a lot of meat, cereal and whatever veggie is palatable to him (GG liked sweet potatoes) and fruit...all baby food. Prayers for a full and speedy recovery for Larry ~

JudyEddy said...

WOW two cam is a little 2 min behind the other I F5 to get current on the one may leave the other behind to grab pic i may miss on the current one

ttfn Eagle Pals...

Oh Lolly, nice report on your eagle nest visit!

okay, See Ya' Later, 'Bye, friends

xo

NatureNut said...

Hello, dear Eaglebuds! It's been one of those weeks---three appointments, three days working and panda naps in between. Finally got to see ear specialist and blob he saw in left ear showed on the CT scan to be congestion! Hooray. Only took 5 weeks for an answer! I don't have to return.
Have a new malady keeping me off the computer--stiff and very sore left neck and shoulder blade. Not so bad today. GP just said it was muscular and forgot to mention any treatment!
Spent this weekend working on pictures---they've been few and far between. Put two sets in the Nook---Spring and Park Eagle Nest.
I've also been glued to TV about missing plane. Hoda and Sandi's Brian have some interesting thoughts on the situation.
We're having itty bitty snow flakes.
I need to get moving shoveling the house, as daughter will be coming next Sunday, then goes to Baltimore for part of that week and back to our house. Jimmy, SIL, will come up to join her end of that week.

JudyEddy said...

Great news on seeing the eagle at SB MARGY I can just close my eyes and see it with you and its reflection in the water also

I love it knowing that Shep is just up in the attic in early watching over his woman and the three eggberts He should be down there making a dadbrella over Belle maybe later
Great news on the eagle also LOLLY

magpie said...

Loretta:
See if your GP can refer you to a chiropractor....and get some
Therapeutic Massages after your
"intake" appointment.....
maybe they can give you some
exercises to do at home also....
takes me some time to do those but it really helps....as do the
massages....
"Just a suggestion" -
these things work for me.....

but, with the condition, it also keeps me off the computer for long stretches of time...

going to check you pictures now !
xo

stronghunter said...

A sprinkle of snow on the nest.

Snow is falling here.

Grocery shopping done.

Kathryn and Hunter have gone to check on Paul's cat.

magpie said...

Nice, Loretta! Both sets....
and your picture entries are
So Easy to Navigate through, even proving I am not a robot....
Always has been that way!
Thanks for the Nature Journey

Hey, just relax tonight, you have almost a whole week to get things
ready for Jimmy's visit!

Egg roll

JudyEddy said...

and she shook all the snow off her back

JudyEddy said...

this was on facebook I just copied it

"""WITH A HEAVY HEART I HAVE TO REPORT THAT……
Liberty and Justice have lost an egg.

I am like many others that I don’t want to hear “Well, it is just nature taking its course.”

I know this is nature. I know these are eagles and we are watching reality television without a script or prompts. I know this is an animal. However, some of us have watched Liberty and Justice for years.

They are more than just “eagles”. They are animals that remind us of the joys of life. They struggled through the snow, wind, temperatures, and just plain survival. Through the camera we are able to watch, study, connect, and learn.

When I started this global project I knew the risk that things would not always turn out beautiful and perfect. You go into these things hoping for the best. You watch the beauty and majestic wonders of bald eagles.

We are able to connect with people from all over the world to share our concerns, our stresses, and joys when they hatch, develop, and grow into adulthood. Along the way friendships are formed, recipes shared, and life stories begin to unfold.

When it comes to the global education project students connect from all over the world to study eagles, but more importantly learn 21st century skills as well as knock down the four cement walls of their classroom to learn from amazing students educators located hundred to thousands of miles away.

Today we are hit with hardship of one egg being lost.





As we watched the parents work to hope that it was not true they still sat on the egg, rolled it, and in some ways were in denial of the truth. Finally, they have come to accept the fate of the egg.

What is weird is that I was crafting a completely different type of blog post when I heard the news. It has been a while since I posted due to a crazy schedule. I was tweaking a podcast as well to post today, but neither one really seems right to post. Today we are hit with the realities of life.

I look at this moment as a learning opportunity. Life is not perfect. Life is not fair. If everything was easy and perfect, then we would never realize what joy would really feel like. The upside is that we have one egg. We have two eagles that know how to survive through the rough conditions. They have had great success in the long-term. It reminds me that we must always work hard and not settle. We never know when our time is up nor do we know the outcomes. What we can control is how we deal with adversity. I am reading some books that really connect with this mindset as I write this that are clicking together right now. The Champion’s Mind and The Art of Learning. Reading these, dealing with the egg, and watching our high school basketball team fall short of a dream of theirs reminds me that through loss we can learn so much.

As we continue to watch the camera we will see two eagles stay the course, work hard to protect the other egg, and not give up. They won’t throw in the towel. They won’t fly away to warmer conditions. They won’t just call it quits. They will stay in the nest along with the cold, wind, and terrible conditions winter has brought. They will give all they have to ensure the egg has what it deserves to hatch. Will it hatch? There is no guarantee, but without hard work and determination all hope is lost.

Take this to reflect on your own life. Don’t give up. Stay strong when life throws you curveballs. Through it all there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. In a few short weeks I hope that light is an eaglet ready to enter this world!

As we have young students watching please let me know what questions or thoughts that you have. I am sure this won’t be easy for some of our young classrooms to understand or make sense of. The power of the community is what will help turn this into a great learning opportunity.

JudyEddy said...

and apparently the Sauces nest lost a egg also with 40 brought in a stick :-(

JudyEddy said...

and it was only a hour and a half after it was laid there is a video on it
Sauces nest egg laind and the broken a half a hour later

JudyEddy said...

wow apparently a month ago they also lost a egg and laid another
Santa Cruz Sauces nest

JudyEddy said...

Belle is getting covered again by snow she is facing the other way head to 1

JudyEddy said...

The nest is near GLO the one with Liberty and Justice

bad day for nest the California nest with Liberty and Spirit also lost a egg They have one left when the eagle got up only one was in the cup no one seems to know what happened so that is 3 just today Pray ours stay warm under Miss Belle

JudyEddy said...

doesn't seem to be snowing or getting to dark to see it

JudyEddy said...

this was on facebook I don't know if this cam is up I asked but another one for Fl
showing the installation of the cam

Florida eagle nest cam being installed cool tree it is a beautiful nest also I asked for the link to the cam but in the beginning of the video it said in the fall so we will see

JudyEddy said...

I am watching the video now and wow that is a nice nest and wow the way they got up there

JudyEddy said...

That nest is the NE nest odd that they are just now releasing the video of it

Hoda said...

As LOLLY would say, I be back!!!
Very good day.
Wet and cold and snowy were all part of the experience.
Skied, checked out the Dragon boat, TOOK A BIRTHDAY CAKE TO THE 85 YEAR OLD LADY who houses our Dragon. She is blind and we talked of all the things we give up when we can no longer see. Kind soul she is.

WANDA well worded about the Pastor, taking on the kitchen duties...no one will fill the CAPTAINS shoes and that is a fact...so he might well wish he had retired earlier...

All is well here. Yoga also went well. I signed up for another yoga session on Sundays it starts April 6th till June 2nd.

I will go make a cup of tea.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks Judge..will check it out. And thank you too Wanda and Margy ..I do know about whey .

Also..they may put in a feeding tube...Larry asked the chemo and radiation guy to discuss that...

paula eagleholic said...

Oh it is snowing here ..light flakes

Judie said...

Dinner over. Kitchen in order. Snow is falling.

Margy, Garcia Effect is applicable for chemo patients who have to cope with nausea. Don't give them favorite foods because the brain associates the food with feeling sick.

JudyE, so sorry for the loss of eggs. Never a happy event but nature has its plan.

Congratulations to Paston Eddie. He cannot be the Capt. but he can sure give it a good try. Hopefully, he will come to enjoy the process of preparing food for those in need -- not to mention the fun of working with Wanda.

Loweeda, check out something called shoulder impingement. Physical therapy may help. If it sounds right, see an orthopedic doc.

Margy, so happy you had some quality James the Wise time. If you drive in them thar hills, take care, please and thank you.

A bit tired from my outing today. Will dent the pillows early.

Sandperson is anxious to get ahead of the snow. Packed a very large satchel and slammed out of here about 20 minutes ago.

Night light is on. Restful sleep for all.

stronghunter said...

Hi.

I see the snowflakes falling at the nest.

Did another cat sub-Q tonight. Lucky's went well. George got really upset and we had to stop. Then he barfed. Kathryn says that they told her the cats sometimes get upset if the fluid is too cool, so we will try to warm it up a bit next time. It is counterproductive to get them all upset, so we do not push things too far.

stronghunter said...

Snowing steadily here. We really did not get much rain at all. It started snowing pretty quickly. Probably means we'll get the maximum amount of snow.

Some schools are already closed.

NatureNut said...

Well folks, we now have enough snow to whiten the deck and railings, but is melted on driveway and road. The salt trucks are coming up the street from County Transportation down the road!
Thx, Judy for the shoulder tip. I had physical therapy for that shoulder blade over 10 years ago after surgery and just located my exercise sheets!
Wanda, your pastor is not Capt. Gene, but hope he will learn the job with your help! You are so special! ☺

paula eagleholic said...

The snow here changed to rain..then sleet and now back to big snowflakes

Lolly said...

Dinner is over and what a day! Eagle watching, attempted whale watching, and then riding and hiking in the redwoods again. Could not get better except for more eagles and whale cooperation.

Talked with Laurel. She is better but had a lousy spring break! Joseph is now sick. Hate that he is sick but really hope Jacob does not get sick. Joseph can stay alone but Jacob needs some one. And, I am not there!

Mema Jo said...

Hubby and I went out to eat just as the snow started. Not much as of right now. Belle will do just fine!

I am very tired for some reason - I think I need to find that hour I lost the other week.

Mema Jo said...

I am glad to read comments from all of you... Prayers for all of us and our loved ones.

Going to close down and try to catch that hour.

Goodnight to all ♥

Lolly said...

I forgot to mention....we got over an inch of rain at home yesterday! One neighbor called and another texted! Can you tell we are all excited?!!

Calling it a night. Think I am going to shower and then read!

Night all! SED!

stronghunter said...



































Getting ready for sleep here.

We are supposed to get 5-8 inches tonight and some more tomorrow. Time will tell.

No school for Hunter tomorrow.

Last time I looked, driveway was covered, but not the street. However, 5-8 inches of snow will take care of the streets. There were snowplows all over the place when I went out. Weather Channel predicts more snow for here than for the nest.

SED, everyone. See you tomorrow. Stay safe.

magpie said...

Wowser, Shirley....that's quite
a white space on your post, kind of reminds me of the snow in your area

:)

not much accumulation here yet,
no immediate surrounding WV counties
have delays or closing yet

magpie said...

headed for the pillows and blankies here in a little while too...
someone from work is going to bunk
down here tonight, will be here
shortly after 1,
same gal that stayed a few times in Jan and Feb

Sure looks Blackwater nests got some snow...and "ours" as well, just cannot tell how much

Prayers for Wellness All Around,
and
God Bless Us,
Every One xoxox

Hoda said...

Good night Friends.
I hope the healing continues JUDIE and you get relief from the one leg that is still bothering you.

I want to be in the Redwoods with LOLLY and JACK

It is pouring rain here and I am sure it is snowing in the higher elevations which will make skiing Tuesday a good experience.

Glad you made it home SANDI with only twenty minutes of howling...

PAULA cute picture of Nick on FB

God Bless Us All
Stay safe everyone.

Lori O. said...

Good early morning everyone!

So WONDERFUL to be here!!!

I miss the blog and all my wonderful eagle friends/family so much.

After ten days of no sleep, I slept a lot over the weekend! YAY!

I'm working so hard on this and just trying to keep my head above water is nearly impossible at times, but I'm trying my darnedest!

I finished my second Case Study paper with 60 pages last Tuesday. So glad that is over.

I'll usually take a quick break on FB while working and am so happy to see many of you on there.

Can't wait until the eggs hatch. I think Hoda relayed to me it would be around the 23rd for the first one. OOOOOOhhhhh, less than a week until hatching!

Love and hugs to all of you. I'll try to be more regular on here as time allows.

Love you all, Kay, Jo, Margy, Sandi, Shirley, Lolly, the Lynnes, Paula, Wanda, Judie, Judy, Hoda, Janet, Loretta!!!! Don't think I missed anyone, but wanted each of you to know I'm thinking about you.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥


stronghunter said...

Good morning!

Hi Lori!

So good to see you here this early morning.

Congratulations on completing that big assignment. Wow! 60 pages.

I am looking at a snow-covered nest with Ma Belle on the eggs. Let's hope that the weather is much improved by hatching day. Snowflakes still flying there. But I think it is coming to an end. However, the cold weather is to stay around for a bit.

Kathryn's getting ready to head north on I-95. Hunter gets to be her helper when it comes to sweeping snow off the car. I'm comfortably sitting on my bed with a cup of coffee.

Sorry about the big white space. I thought I had eliminated it. Kept hitting the "enter: key.

JudyEddy said...

Good Morning Eagle Buds and LORI HELLO good to see your name on here again

JudyEddy said...



LOTS of nasty snow in the nest I see

SHIRLEY we know all the white space was the inches of snow LOL

Janet said...

good morn.

I tried to post 2x yesterday but am having computer issues....may have to stop by the store and discuss this with them.

I was tired yesterday and didn't do too much. it was rainy and cool, a perfect day to do a little then lie about a lot.

the countdown to va beach started with the alarm clock this a.m. tick tock. can't wait to see my gal pals!

everyone have a lovely day! hugs to all!

JudyEddy said...



Temp at nest 23°


I think I will keep my 72° and we have storms on the way just get ready to come on shore


stronghunter said...

I would keep the 72, too, Judy.

Yes, the white space is appropriate considering what is happening with the weather here.

stronghunter said...

Lots of juncos in my backyard.

We have corned beef and cabbage to cook today. Will has his ideas about how it should be prepared. I will just take a backseat and let him go for it. No problem there.

Sandi said...

Goodorming Lori, Judy, Shirley and all my eagle friends! Lori, it's GREAT to see you on the blog - hang in there, girl!! Just keep on keepin' on.

I think this may be the biggest snow South Bethany has seen all winter! Is it St. Patrick's Day or April Fool's day? And it's still snowin' and blowin' out there! No school for me - on what was supposed to be my first 30-minute longer day! :)

I have an IEP to finish writing that didn't get finished over the weekend and the upstairs hasn't been cleaned in a month again since we're never home on the weekends. So I have a full day ahead.

Mom looked and felt good this weekend. At my suggestion, Lisa brought 2 days and 2 nights of Mom's medicine to see if she takes the right pills at the right times. Lisa will still come in daily to check. It's not a big deal, but it will make Mom feel more in-control if she can handle doing this. Fingers crossed.

Two thoughts about this nesting season with our eagles:
1. If the camera gets zoomed, we will see even less than we see now, so I hope that doesn't happen.
2. There was very little incubating of that first egg until the 2nd one was laid so I don't predict a first hatch on the 24th - more like the 26th or 27th.

Have a good day everyone.

I think you are probably right about the zoom, Sandi.

Judie said...

Good morning everyone.

Wow, can't believe how much it snowed on Shirley's blog post. Hope it melts quickly. Time for another Hunter story.

So sorry for teachers. Another frozen rain day and lots of material to cover.

Still snowing lightly here. Looks like we got the 8". Have contacted the the college-bound neighbor to offer more tuition money.

Do not like snow on our nest. Berry Babe's mom is still has wet feathers.

THEEEEEERRRRRRRE'S LORI! Congratulations on the huge case study. The patient must have been either very, very sick or very, very elderly to both. Visit us when you can. We miss you.

Margy, hope you had a fun sleepover with your coworker.

Off to find more coffee, look at the newspaper, maybe do some pleasure reading today.

stronghunter said...

Earthquake in California awhile ago. Not a huge one, but will be interested in hearing from Lolly.

I'm thinking we will not have baseball practice today.

Mema Jo said...

I better say Good Morning to All before the morning has gone ♥

Now I will read back to how much snow everyone has....... I has a lot!

MAY YOUR TROUBLES BE LESS

AND YOUR BLESSINGS BE MORE

AND NOTHING BUT HAPPINESS COME THROUGH YOUR DOOR

Mema Jo said...

Shirley, admit it to us that it wsa really one of Wanda's famous Face Plants............ lol

We still have a light snow and lots of blowing. A young man pounded on my door this morning early and asked if I wanted him to shovel our driveway. I said no thank you ---- Now I wish I had asked him to clean off our deck. I really really (afterwards) just felt like I should have given him $20 for his initiative to go door to door looking for work.

Mema Jo said...

Feeder has been quite busy - I have 4 red winged blackbirds, 2 blue jays, 5 male cardinals and 3 female cardinals and a Carolina wren along with the juncos and there are more coming....... oh yes, 2 crackles.......... What a day♥

Mema Jo said...

Lori - You are doing great - see you FB and enjoy your posts. Take care
and as you have been doing - study hard and keep getting those remarkable
grades.

Mema Jo said...

BWE is also sitting pretty in the snow. Hope some food comes in for those 2 little bobble heads.

BWO cam is all fogging-up.

Mema Jo said...

So thankful our Egg Well is soooooo
deep ♥

BBL

Lolly said...

Good morning! So very sorry about the snow reports! 49 here and sunshine, though it is hard to get to us because of the trees. Huge redwoods where we are camping. Went to sleep last night to the sound of rain on the roof of the trailer.

LORI, see your posts on fb, but it is much better seeing you on here. Keeping you in prayer, you can do this!!!

Get earthquake reports on my cell phone. Get several every day. Have felt nothing. CA is a big state!

Laundry this morn, then heading out to see what we can see! Tomorrow we head to Yachats, OR.

Kay said...

Good Afternoon Eagle Buds !!!

gLORI, big hug {{{{{{{♥LORI♥}}}}}}}, you have all the grit and determination needed and there is a fine career in nursing ahead of you !

WANDA, so happy for you that the Pastor is stepping up to the plate for the Soup Kitchen. As others have said, he's no CAPT. GENE, but will be a big help to you !

LORETTA, tickled pink to hear you now know what the "ear blob" is. Hoping you find remedies for all your physical problems. Prayers.

Have enjoyed reading back over the last 24 hours or so. Love catching up on what y'all are up to. I've blabbed enough and you don't need my opinion on all matters discussed. All you need to know is that I love each and every one of you and you in my thoughts and prayers every day !

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

stronghunter said...

Yes, a Wanda face plant last night. Right into the snow. :)

Judie said...

Afternoon.

Well, the neighbor boy did not get more tuition money. Someone has already shoveled. Do not know whom to thank.

Loweeda, I woke up with pain in the shoulder. Ask about what is called impingement. Problem for swimmers, other athletes. Orthopedic doc. said sometimes "older" people just wake up with it as I did. Therapy aggravated the problem. Usually heals on its own.

Ah yes, a Wanda face plant in the snow. Cool.

Jo, have not seen a red-winged Blackbird since childhood. So glad you have such a variety of birds to enjoy.

Very slow and quiet day for me. BBL

JudyEddy said...

HELLO and Good afternoon

on lunch


and its a yuky soggie sloppy wet stormy day


CHECK OUT GOOGLE ALSO




JudyEddy said...

I totally agree with the zoom I said something to that affect yesterday that if it zoomed them we wouldnot see the cup because its not a tilt a zoom

Has it stopped snowing at the nest I certainly hope so don't like what I see in the nest now

Watching the Berry coll nest so stinking sweet one of the parents is trying I think to get the little one under and wants no part at the moment












Hoda said...

Good morning for iti s still morning here.

Glad to read the posts. Glad to know LOLLY and JACK are alright. California is indeed a big state.

Is it BEV's Birthday today?
If so HAPPY HAPPY BEV

Cold her and rain in the valley and snow on the mountains...

Hoda said...

No it is not BEV'S birthday.

stronghunter said...

Face plant in the snow--cool indeed.

paula eagleholic said...

Shep on Duty.

Egg cup and surrounding it are clear of snow!

Still some snow down here today....not sticking now, though.

Mema Jo said...

So you don't miss it

Bev's birthday is March 19th

JudyEddy said...

Home from work and i hear a eagle peep

JudyEddy said...

Came home and two of the cams were still running but behind as always One was dead odd 22 hours one and 14 the other

JudyEddy said...

EGG Tunr

JudyEddy said...

picking up flugg and moving back and forth back and forth

JudyEddy said...

OK How many inches of snow did you all get ???? and at the nest area also???

its still raining here We have been under tornado warning that I was unaware of till I got home but they were cancelled

need to go check the rain gauge to see how many inches of wet stuff we got Store was pretty slo with the rain all day long





JudyEddy said...

Looks like Shep at the nest I think I don't see the V and usually you can see it at this angle

Gonna go hit the showers since it isn't storming at present time get it out of the way




Sandi said...

Afternoon all! Believe it or not, it is STILL snowing a little here in Bethany Beach, DE! We have about 8 inches! The temperature has hovered right around 32 all day but the real feel temp is in the teens with the gusty winds.

Shirley, did Hunter's baseball practice get canceled?? Teehee! I suspect it would be hard to field grounders out there today! ;)

Seriously though, any word on Hunter's school for tomorrow? The roads here are fine b/c the temps have been just below freezing so the buses will be OK. The problem I see is how the kids will get TO the bus stops - no sidewalks in most places so the kids have to walk in the roads.

Got a lot accomplished today - dusted, vacuumed, and cleaned the upstairs, cleaned all 3 bathrooms upstairs, washed and dried 3 loads of laundry, and finished an IEP.

On FB, there was an article about the Eagle Festival at Blackwater last Saturday. They had 3 eagles on display - a golden eagle, a juvenile bald eagle, and an adult bald eagle. Sure wish they had had an eagle there 2 years ago when we went - some day, I WILL see one up close! The article also had this interesting fact:

"Although Florida has had the East’s largest eagle population for many years, Ranger Jessica Conley said Maryland’s eagle population recently exceeded Florida’s." Nice to know they have made such a comeback in the state.

And now to fix food for people and pets. TTFN!

Judie said...

Good late afternoon.

JudyE, about 8" of snow here. A bit more down Shirley's way and further west and south.

Sandi, know you must be feeling good about all you accomplished today. Even if it is only ten minutes, sit down and enjoy the clean.

Looks like Shep is on duty.

BBL

JudyEddy said...

10" of snow to a inch of rain

unless it is a wet snow or mixed with sleet 3-5 inches of snow to a inch of rain

I always remember that when I would talk to dad about how much snow he got he would always tell me the scale of comparison

JudyEddy said...

RICHARD FARMS cam has 3 eggs just on FB

JudyEddy said...

that nest is also full of snow


Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Good evening my eagle peeps. I am going to attempt a bird inventory for today. White-throated sparrows, cardinals, house sparrows, chickadees, titmice, mourning doves, squirrel, dark-eyed juncos, song sparrows, blue jay, but no partridge in a pear tree. I'm sure I have forgotten someone.

stronghunter said...

Hunter's school is on a two-hour delay tomorrow.

JudyEddy said...

SHIRLEY do they have to make up the two hours at some point???


Sandi said...

Shirley, 2- hour delay for me tomorrow as well.

JudyEddy said...



Heard a flock of geese


Mema Jo said...

Dinner is a done deal ♥
Didn't do too much today and my dinning table tells the tale.

I really get wrapped up here at the computer and from here I can watch all my fine feathered friends and little critters out on the deck. A fun day

Guess I'll watch Jeopardy and see if I know any answers. BBL for sure

JudyEddy said...

eagle looks to be eating I heard a commotion and turned and saw it didn't see delivery I sort of think it came from the NHZ I saw sort of it on the cam that was behind

JudyEddy said...

whatever it was was bloody left a mess in the snow

JudyEddy said...

We have Terrific Tuesday

and now I have

Marvelous Monday Shows


JudyEddy said...

Shep is stepping up to the plate with food delivery already Makes me smile ear to ear ♥









JudyEddy said...

I got a sort of succession of pic with the food delivery I put in album and also FB and had it tagged with Shep page so they are on there also looked like she was mantling also

paula eagleholic said...

JudyEddy said...

EAGLE CHIRPING

Janet said...

Just for today:
I will anger appropriately.
I will count my many blessings.
I will be kind to my neighbors and all beings.

Having issues with these 3 today!

Not feeling my usual chipper self, and was so wishing I could sic the evil JUFIE on this guy at the BEST BUY.

Had to finally break down and take my less than a month old computer back to them! From the moment I took it out of the box, the screen would jump from this to that, and increase and decrease size at its own doing. I had myh son in law work on it, it got better, but not completely. I did what I knew. So finally frustrated (and I had Tom to go with me) I went to best buy and explained the problem to the young man.

1.st response. virus.
(did you not hear that this has happened sicne day one???? in my head to myyself)

open computer up, sign it on...okay....sigh. he starts to piddle with it (not on it HODA< lol)

2. welllll, maybe its a software problem and becuz you didn't buy THAT extended warantee, it will be $200.

(now I'm steaming, but holding my tongue)

then the computer starts to jump screens....and i said, THAT is what it has been doing since day 1. since day 1 it has had virus protection, and i understand you CAN easily still pick up a virus, but unless the darn thing came from the factory WITH a downloaded virus, THATS NOT the problem.

well mam, you should have brought it in sooner.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

i said i was trying to determine IF I was doing something wrong as this one is a touch screen and such....maybe there was alearning curve....

anyway, he finally said it is a "hardware" problem and it is now sent off.....be back with in 2 weeks.

I am on my old slow poke computer. but at least it stays ont he screen i want

just for today just for today

OH JUFIE>>>>>>

anyway...

LORI it was delightful to see you on here today!

SNOW....not here. cold, cloudy, bleech, but no snow.

i think i am heading to dent pillows early tonight. i feel wiped out after this nonsense!

good night all!

Janet said...

almost forgot, to further "help" my mood, michael headed out today after a couple of days home. this is his first solo run to Louisville.

and he calls me.

crying. he doens't want to go. he's homesick.

that was one of the most difficult things I had to do was to encouage him to go, do this, you can do this, i know you can, you are just nervous because its a solo run, you will be home soon, be glad you aren't in the military leaving for 6 yo 18 months....comfort but tough love at the same time...

and all i wanted to say was just come home!!!!

*sigh*

some days i should just hide under the bed with the dust bunnies.

night ya'll

paula eagleholic said...

Oh Janet...sounds like a tough day..hope tomorrow will be better.

And yes we are Moms thru and thru...that tough love is hard.

Talked with John tonight..he and Ajay are attending counseling . This time together . Last bit of counseling was more individual ... she asked if they had tried everything and he said no...they hadn't ... he is living at my house for now...he said he's not going back unless he's sure...so that is some good new.

Larry is still in Rehoboth ...he got 8" like Sandi did...

Judie said...

Well, maybe Sharon saw a flying squirrel?lol

Janet, so sorry you had such an upsetting day. Try to sleep and rest. Remember, Evil Jufie will have your back but will wait until you are well away from the "crime scene."

Headed to watch Blacklist then dent the pillows.

Sandperson is stuffing a huge satchel. Leaving soon. Night light is on. Restful sleep for all.

Judie said...

Doing a Margy.

Paula, do hope that John and Ajay will work out their differences.

Lynne2 said...

Paula, I'm glad John and Ajay are going together now. Keeping them in prayer.

Getting some more snow ferries tonight ...

Oh Larry starts his chemotherapy treatments next week.

stronghunter said...

Oh, Paula, I am going to go look outdoors. We do not have snow in the forecast--at least not that I know of--but it really, really looked like snow late this afternoon. Really thick clouds.

paula eagleholic said...

Shirley ..it's just a small band of snow down this way.

SED love and hugs for all<3

stronghunter said...

I see that, Paula. There is another band in Richmond, and a lot of nasty weather in North Carolina. Hope it is headed eastward.

Mema Jo said...

Janet - aren't you thankful there aren't too many days like you had today... Happy you didn't tell him to come on home - bet you had to bite your tongue.

Paula, prayers for Larry's treatments next week. Hoping John and Ajay can find their love for each other restored through counseling.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks to all of you for placing pics in the Momster's album.

No one mentioned Patti O today.
I do get sad thinking of losing her and Lib. Not good memories. But
as Judy has mentioned, Shep is doing well by Belle.

Mema Jo said...

Goodnight to all

No More Snow Pleeeeeese

AOYP and SED ♥

stronghunter said...

Paula, hoping that John and Ajay can work things out. Good that they are both willing to try. Prayers and good wishes for the chemo.

Oh my gosh, Janet. What a day you had!

stronghunter said...

Hope Michael has a good run, Janet.

TEMP at nest 30°

Sandi said...

Goodorming Judy and all my eagle friends. Got some extra sleep this AM due to the delayed opening. Temps are above freezing and rain is in the forecast, so the snow is already melting.

Paula, "snow ferries" last night??? None of those here! ;) Glad to hear that John and Ajay are still working at their marriage.

Janet, I hope Michael has a great first solo trip and comes home saying how much he loves his new job! Sorry to hear about the Best Buy woes.

Lynneduh, hope you're having a better week this week.

Have a great day all.

JudyEddy said...

Flock of geese going by

Janet said...

good morning all. today feels better. i hope that continues.

thank you for the words of encouragement, that helps.

that very pompus young man reminds me that i do not know what has happened in someone else's day and to treat them kindly, with compassion. *sigh* a lesson i hope he will some day learn.

olivia is feeling puny. i see a cold setting in.

tom starts spring break today so he is sleeping in.

i work 10 to 3. then sable has a dr appt @ 4:30 with Dr. K (thank you!!!)))

got a long text from micahel last night. he is very homesick....i hope he can do this. i have encouraged him again....fingers crossed, light and love sent....

i was thinking last night, when they are 18, they cannot wait to get away from us...now all he wants to do is come back home. he's always been my tenderheart.

all righty, wil check in later. thanks to al again, and EVIL JUFIE.... :) you made m smile.

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Everyone,

Ken and I have been SOOO busy doing paperwork of one kind or another today, and have been on the phone a LOT. We have an
11am appointment with a lawyer tomorrow, so I'm requesting prayer for that situation. I hope that we can determine in 1 meeting whether or not Ken has a case. Oh--tomorrow is our 43rd Wedding Anniversary! We hope to be able to go out to dinner at Olive Garden to celebrate. We have a gift card we can use for it. Gotta run right now, because I have a bunch of documents I need to look up and fax to EDD.
Will try to get back here tonight, if at all possible. Been praying for everyone, and you are all on my mind and in my heart!
I ♥ us!!!
