Good morning,

I see that I will be on the second part of this thread. And I see one eagle on the nest. No egg.

stronghunter said...

It looks very cold in Shepherdstown this morning.

Mema Jo said...

Shirley - it is a cold 27°

stronghunter said...

Hi Jo,

I stuck my head out my back door, and it is plenty cold enough here, too.

My blue jays were happy to demolish the little pile of peanuts I put out for them. It took maybe 10 minutes for them to take all of the peanuts.

stronghunter said...

Weather Channel says 25 degrees here.

stronghunter said...

Maybe 1-3 inches of snow here early next week.

stronghunter said...

Looks like snow is more likely here than it is in Shepherdstown, which is a good thing for our eagles. I think we might have an egg any time now. Belle is certainly staying in the nest.

stronghunter said...

She is settled down into the egg cup now.

Judie said...

Good morning.

Cold and frosty out this morning with sunshine and blue sky.

Belle was in the nest testing the egg cup.

Today will be scullery day. Will make chili and put it in the frig overnight. Will also make some beans and franks for next week.

Has anyone, other than me, decided to forego Superbowl for an hour to watch Downton Abby tomorrow night?

Wishing everyone a wonderful day. May Belle deliver a healthy future eaglet.

Judie said...



♪♫ HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDRA ♪♫ Have a lovely day.

stronghunter said...

Kathryn just found out she has to go to work. Nobody is there. The guy who was supposed to work can't be found. She and Hunter had sort of made plans to go somewhere together. Now they are both headed to the workplace.

Mema Jo said...


Under no circumstances will I miss Downton Abbey



stronghunter said...

Hoda thinks there is an egg in the cup. I will watch for a bit.

stronghunter said...

I feel that I am missing out on something by not watching Downton Abbey. I just didn't get started on it. But, being a native of North Carolina, I am interested in watching the Panthers.

carolinabeachmom said...

Good morning all Eagle Watchers out there; Jo,Janet,Sandi, CarolAnne, Loretta, WVJerry, JudyE and all others who might be out there. You all are surely on egg watch! Maybe she will surprise us all and lay the egg in the daytime for all to see. Everything is all quiet at the nest at this time. Belle still sitting in egg cup; no eagle sounds from either she or Shep. It looks like all is right with the world, except no egg yet. Have to go out to the post office to mail Sophie's Valentine box. All keep your eyes peeled and have a wonderful day.

Judie said...

I sorta think there might be an egg because Belle hasn't moved in the longest time and has pulled flugg up around herself.

Jo, thank for keeping me company tomorrow night. Wondered if I would be all alone.

Shirley, sorry Kathryn has to work and Hunter also has a "work" day. Wishing you and Allie and Cheeto a nice day together.

Bye

Mema Jo said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDRA

ENJOY YOUR SPECIAL DAY

MAY THE YEAR AHEAD BE WONDERFUL FOR YOU



We still have a chance for the 1st egg today...

stronghunter said...

I am joining Judie and Jo in wishing Sandra a happy birthday. :)

Mema Jo said...

Once again I did NOT get notification from our yahoo Momster site announcing
Sandra's b-day - as it was the same for Glo's b-day.

I'll try to check it out but I know the names and dates are on the Momster Event Calendar.

Sandi once you retire you are more then welcome to update the past few years of
our egg history. That would be great!

stronghunter said...

It would be interesting if there is an egg in there. Belle is all scrunched up in the egg cup. We shall see.

WVJerry said...

OK. I see I got confused on the egg report. Sorry for my morning misstep. I just one eagle in nest. I think I might ride by nest on my way home.

stronghunter said...

I think we do not have an egg yet. No turning of the egg. No "wiggle, wiggle."

stronghunter said...

Yelling going on here. Kathryn is calling Hunter to get going. I think he is taking a shower. The boy does not hurry just because you have to go to work.

stronghunter said...

I am just listening quietly.

stronghunter said...

Hunter does not take a quick shower just because Mom in in a hurry.

stronghunter said...

She told him to take a shower and then she hurried into my bathroom for her own shower. Meanwhile, he just took his sweet time doing whatever 15-year-old guys do on a Saturday morning. Probably playing a game on his phone.

Meanwhile, Kathryn's place of work remains closed.

stronghunter said...

I see no sign of an egg yet. Belle is sitting over the egg cup, but not down in it.

stronghunter said...

I will be interested in hearing about what you observe on your drive-by of the nest, Jerry.

Judie said...

Ah, Shirley, it is the wise grandmother who knows when to become invisible and/or mute. lol

Jerry, no confusion just misinformation about there being an egg last night. Have a good day and give a salute if you go by the nest.

Jo, I did get an email with Sandra's birthday reminder. Also got on for Glo.

Going to watch Belle for a few more minutes then need to get busy.

BBL

stronghunter said...

I think Kathryn and Hunter have now departed for the workplace. Overall, I hope Hunter might be learning something about being responsible and maybe a few things about the business Kathryn is working in. It is time for him to learn these things.

Mema Jo said...

Well knock me down! I just received Sandra's Yahoo b-day announcement over in my
junk mail! 8:24am - It should have come over right after midnight - Well at least
it's half ways working.

Linda said...

Good Morning!

Well it sure looked like Belle laid an egg in that video and pranced carefully around it before she settled down to keep it warm!! And I agree that we may not see that egg in that deep cushy egg cup!! Congratulations to Belle and Shep!

JUDYE - thanks for the link to the video and the reporting.

CANDY - So happy you are looking forward to a 3 day visit with your granddaughter and your son and his wife!! Like you said, three days is a good start! And equally happy for the blessings of safe passage through a long military journey that brought him home safe. God is indeed, good and I can only imagine how difficult those years were.

KAY - Happy to hear Ernie came through his surgery well and is off the ventilator. The longer anyone is one one of those, the scarier it gets!! Continued prayers for strength and healing in these crucial days to follow.

JUDY - Hope you survive that cold front and can get out again.......I know how rough those fronts are is Florida!! :)

JUDIE - I like the weekend menu.............just might have to stop by!!

JO - thanks for the bold clarification of JACK watching birds in the yard while walking. I thought he may have been walking backwards with binoculars!! And I really was worried LOLLY would walk into something with her nose in the iPhone while she walked down the neighborhood streets!!

SANDI - OUCH!! On your hands and knees with a toothbrush cleaning all that grout??? The last time I was crazy enough to do that was probably 15 years ago! It looks amazing when you are done, but you pay dearly for it in pain!! But seriously, could you seal the grout now that it is clean and wouldn't that help keep it clean longer?

I am glad we have wood floors now and no longer have to deal with the grout. In Florida, where tile just makes better sense, I was a slave to my grout, too. Now we deal with when to sand and seal the floors.............and we dread it!! But clean floors sure make all the difference!!

But if you made it to play tennis this morning, you must be working through the pain and a trooper!! Of course being thin and in shape surely helps!! :)

SHIRLEY - I will have to go check on FB and see a recent picture of young Hunter. I am sure he is as much a character as he always was. Just love the "Hunter" stories! Happy to hear their unscheduled work day is over and they can enjoy their Saturday!

Wishing SANDRA a very happy birthday today!!

It's time for me to try and make this brain function today!! Had an awful migraine at 4am and I am just feeling like I can move around. Guess I will find out soon!

Enjoy your day today!!

Blessings to all!

Mema Jo said...

I best bring over my remark from this morning on the older thread:

All that excitement last night has proven to have been a false report now that we can see the eggless nest in the morning light. Belle really fooled me.
NOW Onto the waiting game.

Judie said...

Okay, I really am going to stop watching and get busy but now I think Shirley is correct. Belle is not nestled down tight but sort of standing. End of my speculations.

Hi Linda.

Linda said...

Wait.......I am confused. At first I thought JUDYE was reporting a second egg.....

And realized she meant that one had been laid and she was waiting for #2

Then I watched the video that LOOKED like Belle laid an egg and walked around it before settling down on it.

Now I am hearing there is not an egg?

So which is it.......or do we not know for sure??

carolinabeachmom said...

LINDA They said that they made a mistake last night. No egg. Two eagles in nest now sitting side by side looking at the egg cup.

carolinabeachmom said...

I never got to the post office yet. I am out the door now. Nothing is moving but the two eagle heads at the nest. Thank goodness the wind has died down. Yesterday it was blowing so hard I was afraid for the nest. Even though I already sent Sandra a birthday card I'll still Wish you, SANDRA OSBORNE, another very Happy Birthday. Have a good one. To the post office.......

Linda said...

Thanks, Candy!!

Linda said...

JO - I guess I was posting when your comment came in! Thank you!

Happy to report, I am no longer confused.........at least on the egg! haha

JudyEddy said...

so sorry guys DEB POSTED video saying she laid the egg I saw her get up and pick at cup and said I saw no egg but took Debs word OH OH NO a boo boo


GOODMORNING EAGLE BUDS

grannyblt said...

I've had the live camera on since 630 and think if there were an egg we would have caught a glimpse by now. Now it looks as if they are watching something in the sky. I really need to get dressed and busy around here. Sure glad we have this new camera.

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Have a friend bringing lunch today and then we will head on out to try to find some eagles :-) They are about as hard to find as eggs in a nest at times.

stronghunter said...

Hi again.

Okay, I think it is safe to say there is no egg yet.

And, Kathryn and Hunter headed out to work awhile ago, so they should be at her office until at least noon. Things have been pretty busy since all of the ice and snow. Ice and snow bring business to car body shops.

I see two eagles sitting in the nest on either side of the egg cup.

stronghunter said...

No bowling for me today. All of the lanes are being used by a tournament. Someday, I might sign up for a tournament. Maybe. Have tried to convince Val.

Lolly said...

Good morning! Hmmmmm....wondering if there is an egg or not. Have watched Belle, saw flugg fluffing but nothing that looked like an egg roll.

I am dealing this morning with heartbreak. A dear, close friend died unexpectedly last night. I got a text late. I will be going over there in about an hour. This will be so hard. She was just a few years younger than me. Her two daughters close to Laurel's age. One a year older and one a year younger. John, her husband has had lots of heart problems. Figured he could go at anytime. Marion had one hard to breath scare a couple of months ago, but surgery was ruled out. Last night she once again was having trouble breathing, 911 was called, but she did not make it. John can not live alone. Beth and Michelle have lots of decisions to make. Beth and hubby live here. Michelle and hubby live a couple of hours west in Abilene. Prayers please for this family. I just can not imagine how it will be without Marion in all our lives. She had a strong belief and is with her Savior!

Back to cam watching.

stronghunter said...

So sorry about your loss, Lolly. Prayers for the family.

JudyEddy said...

pooof poof

Mema Jo said...


Lolly - prayers for Marion and her family and friends. Sudden deaths are always so
very hard to understand and accept. May the girls do what is best for their dad.

Mema Jo said...

I see Belle in the nest
Moving a stick

JudyEddy said...

LOLLY so sorry about your loss of a friend and the decisions the family are now left with So sad

JudyEddy said...

Going to Angie house this evening to celebrate her bday which is tomorrow she is having only a few friends over

stronghunter said...

I see one eagle at the nest.

JudyEddy said...

back in the cup is this it

glo said...

Lolly I am so sorry for the sudden loss of a close friend . Prayers for you and all who loved her. How difficult and sad.

stronghunter said...

Belle did a very interesting dive into the egg cup and is now nestled there.

Kay said...

Good Morning Eagle Buds!!!

Happy Birthday to our birthday girl, SANDRA!

The posts of the last 12 hours or so lead to nothing but confusion for me, so I'm in a wait n' see mode. Will soon take in the noon panoramic camera swing, but I don't think we'll see down into the cup. Belle seems to want it covered.

LOLLY, so sorry you've lost a dear friend. May she RIP. Prayers for her family as they make some hard decisions.

LINDA, sorry you still have those horrible migraines. Some things like those and the common cold just seem to defy all medical logic. You'd think by 2016 we'd have answers to such ancient maladies!

Belle doing much flugg redistribution, up and out of the cup. Yes, her head disappears completely when she delves down into it. She sure is keeping us guessing!

SHIRLEY, too bad Kathryn and Hunter had to switch gears so suddenly. Does her workplace stay open all day on Saturdays?

Mema Jo said...


I can't believe how deep she wants that egg cup to be
She also was arranging some of the flugg

JudyEddy said...

I figured out with the branch on the outer edge is for It is supports for when the time comes they can throw up a blanket so we can't see LOL A partition of sorts like in the hospital room lol

Kay said...

JO, nature is an amazing thing. Perhaps she knows Ol' Man Winter isn't bowing out yet so that she needs a very deep, snug place for her eggs???

Kay said...

Moving on to e-mail and e-news, but will be keeping tabs on the nest and the camera show.

Prayers for all in need!!!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

JudyEddy said...

she is out of the cup again but right on the edge to where he tail is in the cup she looks like she just watched a car go down the road

carolinabeachmom said...

Back again from the post office and doing my daily mile fast walk. I see only one eagle left in the nest. So good to see the wind not swaying the nest today. It had me worried yesterday.

LOLLY Prayers sent to you and your friends family. May God bless them in their time of loss. So sorry to hear that sad news.

JudyE Too funny about why the last stick was put up against the limb. :) It is a thought tho.

I am keeping this on to check in from time to time. Have washings to start and some cleaning after I get some lunch. Someone tell the eagles it is lunch time please. :)

Mema Jo said...


CAM Tour of the NCTC property went smoothly
Snow is disappearing
Didn't see any deer that sometimes are running on the grounds

BBL

JudyEddy said...

Just watching Belle with the wind blowing on her head and laughed when I thought OH that is where the feathered look comes from


calling out can't here it

JudyEddy said...

shep arrives

JudyEddy said...

I noticed the still get to be a couple of min behind the live feed again

and we have no SOUND when she was calling out a bit ago only hear the humm static on speaker no eagle

JudyEddy said...

they are both just sitting looking around both on either side of cup

JudyEddy said...

lots of beaking

Sandi said...

Hi all! From reading back, it sounds like no one has glimpsed an egg so I'm guessing we are still waiting! I see both eagles in the nest.

Tennis was super competitive and exhausting. I wasn't as sore as I thought I would be but there will be no more on my hands and knees today. The kitchen and powder room floors can wait - I've had my daily quota of exercise!

Lolly, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend Marion - it sounds similar to what happened with Denny's mom. His dad was in terrible health and in the hospital recuperating from surgery. Denny's mom spent the day at the hospital, went home to watch the Orioles game on TV, and had a massive heart attack - boom, gone! When Denny's dad eventually left the hospital, he was unable to live alone so he moved in with us. Denny was wonderful about taking care of his dad and he was with us for a year and a half before he died.

I have always thought I would prefer to die like Denny's mom did - suddenly - rather than the way my mom did with a long illness. But I know it's much harder on the family that's left b/c there's no time to prepare for losing that loved one. In reality, we aren't given a choice, are we?

I have been on the phone with Patricia, the teacher at my school who was placed on administrative leave. She has been interviewing attorneys and is planning to go after the student for his false accusations against her and also our principal and assistant principal for not doing their jobs in getting the student out of the building so the entire incident wouldn't have happened. Good for her!

Have a greyt day all - I'll be checking in for egg updates. Right now though, I need to take a nap, since watching Belle this morning kept me from going back to get an extra hour of sleep when I was so rudely awakened by snoring at 5:30am.

JudyEddy said...

HP HP HP

Judie said...

Good afternoon.

Lolly, condolences on the death of your friend Marion. Prayers for her family and friends.

Chili simmering. Beans and franks cooling. Scullery back in order.

Kay may have a clue regarding the very deep egg cup: winter weather and maybe two or three eggs? Lots of room needed for a large family.

Headed to my recliner to put my feet up and peruse the newspaper.

Bye

JudyEddy said...

that was the longest and different hp

JudyEddy said...

I also would like a sudden death I don't want a long drawn out process

JudyEddy said...

OK gonna LM for a bit

Lolly said...

I am back. Furnished lunch for the family and stayed about an hour. They are dazed to say the least. It is just so hard! Thanks for the prayers! No answers yet for their decisions.

See Belle in the nest. No egg yet apparently!

Linda said...

Good Afternoon,

LOLLY - So sorry to hear about the unexpected loss of your friend Marion. It's just so sad.....and all those decisions that the family needs to face along with making arrangements. It's good they have family and good friends around to support them. Will keep them in prayer.

SANDY - Good for Patricia taking an offense here instead of waiting for what is next. Maybe this will scare the family a little and back them off. I feel so bad for the anguish and heartbreak, not to mention the anger, this must be causing Patricia as her hands are literally tied because of flawed school administrations and their lack of insight in these types of incidents.

Looks sunny and breezy at the nest and Belle is staying close to home.......Could be a good sign of things to come!

Linda said...

Shep arrives with more materials!!

Linda said...

And Belle takes off!

Linda said...

And Shep takes off...... MT nest!

JudyEddy said...

oh poof

grannyblt said...

Junco checking out the nest

grannyblt said...

Lolly, add my condolences for the loss of your friend.

WVJerry said...

Well...I had to work over and was not able to go by nest. Maybe I can try and swing by that way Tuesday or Wednesday after work. Maybe an egg will come in the next day or so. I probably won't be on early in morning until I go back to work on Tuesday. I have been trying to figure out which way camera points. It appears to me that it faces east. I also don't know if the road you see is the road with sharp turn. It must be part of NCTC property. If I don't fall asleep I'll try and watch some tonight.

Unknown said...

hello all ! (WAVING!) home from work! man you all were chatty today! can tell we are all EGG cited!

LOLLY: my deepest condolences....hugs light and love to you and those close to you.

MT nest at this time.

good day at work. Tom just got home from his Sat. job. Life is good.

Ya'll have a great night!

Jewels said...

Lolly, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I cannot imagine losing my best friend. My thoughts and prayers to you and her family.

working over till 6pm again... did Tuesday, then again Yesterday and today,and tomorrow and again on Friday. Need the extra money. hate the tax bracket it throws me in tho...

Hope all is well... anxiously waiting on the egg laying!!

NCSuzan said...

Happy Birthday Sandra! Hope you celebrate all day long!

Lolly, sorry for the loss of a woman who sounds like the core of her family and the valued friend she was with you.

Waiting......waiting......

Sandi said...

Both eagles in the nest.

stronghunter said...

I see that work is being done on the nest.

stronghunter said...

Both still there.

JudyEddy said...

Both poofed

grannyblt said...

Well, Belle and Shep certainly know how to pull our strings. I managed to spend a good part of the day in front of the computer. Not that I'm complaining, I'm retired and live alone so I can do whatever I please.surely there should be an egg within the next few days!

WVJerry said...

Checking back and see empty nest. Lolly - So sorry for the loss of your friend. Thoughts and prayers to you and her family.

Judie said...

Okay, listen up Belle and Shep: the momsters are becoming a bit impatient with your antics. Will you two PLEASE get on with the egg laying? We do not like being teased AND remember, we have eagle canes and Jo knows how to climb the Sycamore Palace. So there!

Judie said...

Dinner over. Scullery restored to order.

Headed for my recliner and my new library book.

Will check the nest again later.

Meanwhile, wishing everyone a night of restful sleep.

carolinabeachmom said...

Well I am checking in to see an MT nest without an egg. If they are still HPing, maybe it will be a day. :)

SANDI Am I ever glad to hear that your teacher friend is going to hire a lawyer and go after all of them. Good for her. It is better than sitting down and letting them drill her into the earth. Hoping all goes well for her.

If there is not going to be any action here yet, I guess I'll go back to my UNC Tar Heel game against Notre Dame. You all have a wonderful evening.

Lolly said...

Uh oh! JUDIE is threatening Belle and Shep! They probably would really not like those Eagle canes!!

Have been reading this evening while Jack worked in his shop.

Again, thank you for the prayers. Marion was the core to her family. Beth is now stepping up. So very proud of her!

Have known this family for 40 years, gone to church together, raised our children at the same time. Laurel and Beth are close. While I was teaching our school district had a program (a class) where high school students helped in the classrooms. I had both Beth and Michelle help me, so I am close with them. And, right now I feel so helpless.

Watched both Eagles visit the nest this evening. Keeping a close eye to see if Belle returns. Guess it has been false labor so far!😛

Lolly said...

Speaking of Patricia. I am a member of ATPE (Association of Texas Professional Educators). If a problem arose we had lawyers available to us and we could receive help. I am still a retired member.

JudyEddy said...

Sitting out side at Angie
50 and chilly
MT nest

Mema Jo said...

I've been off line - thanks for all your comments

I see MT nest

Going to close down now
Will probably peek back in around 11:00

Goodnight to All ♥

Linda said...

Well the nest sure looks empty and lonely :(

So we wait......

Closing up shop for tonight..........feel like I had one of those days where I did more research than work........and I am still not finding the answers I know are out there!

Tomorrow is another day!

Blessings for a good night....

xoxo

Sandi said...

I am shutting down as well, friends.

Yes, I am proud of Patricia. Our administrators have created a very perilous work environment for teachers by not addressing discipline. If Patricia can bring that to light, she will benefit all of us, not just herself. And yes Lolly, the teacher's union will loan Patricia up to $30,000 for attorney fees. If she wins her case, which she will, then she is not required to pay anything back.

Lolly, making yourself available to Marion's daughters is the best thing you can do right now. You ARE helping.

Nest is MT.

I will see everyone in the early AM. Maybe Superbowl Sunday will be Supernest Sunday as well. Goodnight.

stronghunter said...

Hi,

Glad to know Patricia is getting help from the union. I was always a member of our association just in case of this kind of situation.

stronghunter said...

Just heard eagle calls, but no eagle in the nest.

Lolly said...

My time to turn in! Nest is empty! But, the night is young!😜

Night all! SED

JudyEddy said...

GOOD MORNING eagle buds or is it Goodnight I choose the later need to go to bed

just got home

and the nest is MT

nice evening at Angie celebrating her 46th birthday

wow that make me feel old LOL


stronghunter said...

Nest MT.

I could not sleep. Now I have two cats in my bed. Allie is watching bird videos on my phone.

Sandi said...

Goodorming my eagle friends. There is no sleeping eagle in the nest. :(

Kay said...

Good Morning Eagle Buds!!!

Yep, we have an MT nest on this early Sunday morn.

Will now read back a bit to see what you're all up to, then on to e-mail and newspapers...BBL

Sandi said...

Eagle in.

Sandi said...

Now both.

Jewels said...

G'morning... Both in the nest and one is laying down for a change!! So I guess they are getting ready for the whole egg laying process. :)

stronghunter said...

Good morning,

A fresh load of flugg in the nest this morning.

Jewels said...

She fluffed the nest up and layed back down and now she is gone. Not sure when she left tho.

Sandi said...

Belle took off at 7:30. I thought she was "getting serious" but once again, she fooled me!

Jewels said...

Same here Sandi!!! I thought Oh boy this is gonna happen while I watch!

Sandi said...

Jerry, you asked about how the camera faces. I'm pretty directionally challenged, but right now, the rising sun is hitting the nest on the left side of our camera view (at about the 9 o'clock position). So east would be at about 3 o'clock. The cam is positioned at about 6 o'clock, which would be north and it would indeed be facing south (about 12 o'clock). Does that sound right to others?

Linda said...

Good Morning!

Sandi, that sounds right to me!

Nest is empty again :(.

Woke up to sunshine and blue skies.....and headache free!
That is a great start for me!!

Wishing everyone a blessed day!!

Judie said...

Good Super Bowl morning.

Linda must have stolen the sunshine because it is overcast and dreary outside my abode. Snow predicted for Monday/Tuesday. Blah!

Nest is empty. Watched the Wildlife Center of VA for a few minutes. A yearling is out. There are seven orphans to be released this Spring.

No special plans for today other than frequent peeks at the nest and doing some reading.

Later...

Mema Jo said...

Good morning to all ♥ Very calm MT nest but it sure looks in good condition and it
really needs some activity going on in our nest. I hope they are not waiting for Valentines Day ♥

Special day for the family as we meet at Dutch's for Sunday Brunch to celebrate hubby's birthday that was snowed out by the Blizzard of 2016.

Downtown Frederick city has an annual event called Fire & Ice. I've never been able to attend - very cold out last evening. Businesses have in front of their stores ice sculptures. Grandkids sent me a picture of the one outstanding figure of an eagle in flight. Very beautiful.

Linda love having you with us again - especially headache free!
Sandi I really am pulling for Patricia - somewhere teacher's voices need to be heard.

Everyone enjoy your day - I'll BBL


grannyblt said...

Good morning eagle buds. Sunshine and blue skies here too, but the last of that for this week. I'll check the nest between a quick trip to the grocery and every Sunday activities. That also includes an evening with PBS.

Jewels said...

Eagles back in the nest!
G'morning everyone!! Was cold at 5am when I left for work! Bet it hasn't warmed up much!

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Will today be the day? Stay tuned. :-)

Mema Jo said...


Thanks for the alert Jewels !

Mema Jo said...


I am wishing the happiest birthday to our Momster

Helen Kalis aka MITS - Wishing her day to be filled

with love and laughter and happiness

stronghunter said...

One eagle in the nest. I think it is probably Belle, but cannot be sure. Facing the other way.

Happy to know Linda is headache free.

And I join Jo in wishing Mits a happy birthday. I do miss her posts here on the blog.

stronghunter said...

Cloudy and cold here. Snow in the forecast for Monday-Tuesday. School/bowling just might be cancelled.

stronghunter said...

Blue jays are hollering this morning. I have given them lots of peanuts. I am picturing blue jays so fat they cannot fly.

Lots of cardinals out there, too. They are more polite than the jays.

WVJerry said...

Good morning everyone. I see an eagle in nest just looking around. Sandi- Thanks for the direction explanation. Also, I hope things work out fore your teacher friend. I had two friends that taught in Berkeley County(high school Latin0 and Jefferson County(9th Grade). Over 10 years ago they both quit and one went to Loudon County and the other to Warren County. They both told me about student disciplinary problems...basically they could nothing to control disruptive students. Really sad to me to hear people dedicated to educating young people have such problems. I've got breakfast done, did dishwasher thing last night and first load of laundry in and have one more to go. Rhonda lost another pound and has just a few more to get her weight back down. Thanks again for everyone's thoughts/prayers and support. I believe her new medicine is helping. Going to watch Super Bowl later. Not rooting for any team...my team the Dolphins is a long way from any Super Bowl but I still root for them. Just wanting my Orioles to get going in Spring Training. Take care all. I will be checking Cam off and on today.

Judie said...

Happy Birthday Mits. Hope you have a super-wonderful bowl of happiness today.

Belle is in the nest.

Hi Jerry. Such good news that Rhonda is feeling better and making progress. Enjoy the game.

Shirley, hope you don't get enough snow to cancel activities.

Bye

JudyEddy said...

Good Morning Eagle Buds



What no EGG


Belle has back to us sitting at 12



Lolly said...

Good morning!

Happy Birthday to Mits!

48 and sunshine all week predicted for us! Even the 70's by Thursday!

Going to get new rose bushes this week and get them planted. They will go in the front yard in front of the fence. Already have climbing roses there but have room for more. Only place I have sunshine morning thru noon, the. They will have afternoon shade. Hope they do well, we shall see!

Heading to church soon. Ned to eat a bite!

See Belle in nest, but not sitting!

JudyEddy said...

both poof

Kay said...

Hello again, Eagle Buds!!!

Happy Birthday and many more to MITS!!!

Both eagles were in the nest but poofed a sec ago almost simultaneously. Hope it was nothing I said.

JudyEddy said...

now one back

Kay said...

Shep is already back and doing nestorations.

LOLLY, who is this Ned you're feeding today?

JERRY, so happy things are looking up for Rhonda! Give her our best.

Belle joins Shep once more.

JudyEddy said...

both are in working on rail and cup

Kay said...

LINDA, headache free sounds "wonderful good" as my Minnesotan friends would put it.

LYNNE1, you and I are living parallel lives today. You've described the afternoon I have planned to a tee.

Enjoy your Sunday, all, whether it's in front of The bowl game, Downton Abbey or in pursuit of other pastimes!

Both eagles very serious about fussing with flugg and other nestorations. I think they're as anxious as we to get this 2016 show on the road!

Prayers for all in need as I wait a few moments for the nest cam show to begin.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

tour

JudyEddy said...

AND POOF

Jewels said...

OK.... I have been gone way to long, the camera pans the area???

Jewels said...

Is that what you mean by a tour I guess...lol

JudyEddy said...

YEP EVERY day at the same time and sometimes we see deer on the field I hope that they use the pan tilt and zoom with a person after we have hatch lings I wonder will they?

Jewels said...

well that is pretty cool. I did notice the one angle was a bit blurry. But I love this feature! I was hoping to see the Eagles in another tree or in the field.

stronghunter said...

I was hoping to see them too.

stronghunter said...

Helen (Mits) asked me to thank all of you who have wished her a happy birthday over here.

Jewels said...

awww Happy birthday Mits :)

glo said...

I guess I need to add my Happy Birthday Greetings over here. Sending indeed Happy Birthday to Mits wishes

Good afternoon eagle friends. Just got back from church and breakfast out. We have another cloud, chilly, rainy, windy day here on OBX again today, and into tomorrow. Snow maybe inland. They can have it.

MT nest at Shepherdstown; I missed them. :( I read where there was still HP going on. They had just better stop that stuff and get laying eggs before we get another big snow over there, and we are all biting our nails wondering if everything will be ok.

WVJERRY Great news to read that Rhonda is doing better.

LINDA So happy to hear that you are finally without a headache today. There is nothing worse. My whole Christmas visit with my son and his family was ruined by the most awful headache. I suffered through until we got home to get our results of our physicals and the doctor gave me that dreaded Prednisone for one week. I was having a little trouble with my back and he said that would do something to help. I dare say, it only took a week of the Pred. and I was, and have been headache free since.

LOLLY You sure are lucky to live in Texas and having 70* weather.We have had some 70's this winter and it was great! A lot of our flowers were all mixed up and coming out! Hoping for an early spring!

Well, still MT nest. Think I had better get a little something done here. All have a great day. AND maybe an egg will come along soon.

Jewels said...

Calling for Rain Monday and 3-5 inches of snow Monday night and 1-3 inches of snow Tuesday. :(

Lolly said...

No! Do you hear me? I said No Snow on the nest!!!

Feeling drained. Emotional time at church today.

Jack has vacuumed and my time to mop. Then I will feel the NEED to feed Ned again! Roflmbo😜😜😜😜

Jewels said...

If My no's dont work, yours wont either LOL

Please say prayers for my Jessica. She is battling a bad bad sore throat. She has been to ER and they prescribed her baby safed antibiotic. BUt day 3 its getting worse instead of better.

Mema Jo said...

I have returned from an exceptionally nice Brunch at Dutch's with hubby and our
5 children and their spouses. I never imagined that so many people take advantage of this on a Sunday - the place was packed. Our table for 12 was ready and waiting and our 2 servers were the greatest. The variety of foods were more then abundant to say the least. Their brunch is 10-2:00 - we were there 11:30 - 1:30. And Lolly, we fed NED.

Now we are home - have some pics to share on FB shortly but first FEET UP

**Prayers for Jessica's throat to get better with her medicine. ♥

Judie said...

Hi Carolyn. Hoping Jessica gets over the sore throat quickly, please and thank you. Otherwise, how's she doing?

Sure hope the snow-making machine has a breakdown soon; as in the next 24 hours.

Judie said...

Jo, so very happy that all the family were together to celebrate. Peanut butter pie? Well, whatever you all had, I know it was not nearly as enjoyable as having the family all together. Also, so glad you had enough to feed Ned. I'm sure Lolly was concerned.

Mema Jo said...

Yes, Judie - they actually had on the dessert table my Peanut Butter Pie!

Jewels said...

Thanks Judie and Momma Jo
Judie otherwise she is doing well. Having walmart customers asking her when she is due... she is taken aback cause she doesnt think she is showing yet. I havent seen her in a week or so. BUt she is wanting to go to the ER and said for me to take her when I get off.

Momma Jo, so glad you were able to enjoy a lovely brunch with your family.

Judie said...

Carolyn, please remind Jessica that momster prayers are powerful and she has our now.

Nest is empty.

stronghunter said...

Just read back. Yes, prayers for Jessica.

Nest is empty now.

stronghunter said...

Eagle just appeared in nest. Stuck head into egg cup. Wow, it is deep.

stronghunter said...

Both in.

stronghunter said...

Settling into egg cup.

stronghunter said...

HP

JudyEddy said...

HP AGAIN

JudyEddy said...

well we know they are serious

Jewels said...

Thanks everyone I will tell her. :)

Mema Jo said...

Beautiful Belle - what you thinking of doing tonight -
I wish we knew!

We will be watching!

JudyEddy said...

HP again

JudyEddy said...

both are gone again

JudyEddy said...

THAT IS 3 TIMES HP for today

Lolly said...

See that the nest is empty!

Happy NED is fed! Good job, Jo!

Just went for a real walk. Walked over two miles. About a mile away is a new subdivision, so we walked to it and up the hill to see what it looks like up there. 450,000 and up homes. No homes yes, still preparing the land. Saw an agent showing a lot to a couple, big young guy and wife, during an expensive car. Wondering where he plays or played football. Lol

I thought everyone knew how we "walk". Not a treadmill. Have had treadmills and do not like them. They also take up too much room. We "walk" in place with a DVD. It is a "two mile wak" or a 30 minute work out. It does the job and can be done all year, rain or shine freezing or over 100.

Sandi said...

Evening all - nest is currently MT. I'm sure our eagles know what they're doing but I wish I knew what they were doing!

I went back through the Nest Update entries on the NCTC site and through blog posts for 2013, 2014 and 2015 to find dates for when eggs were laid and how many eagles fledged from the nest each year. Have emailed that information to Paula, who said she will update the Momsters Yahoo site.

I am shutting down for the night so I can watch the halftime show and then get ready for bed. I will see everyone in the early AM - goodnight!

Linda said...

Good Evening!!

Jo, thanks for your kind comments!!! I love being back!

And thanks to SHIRLEY, KAY and CANDY......on the headache free comment today!! It's been a good day, for sure!!

CANDY, sounds awful to have such a headache.....and at all times, Christmas!! I get them literally whenever......but stress and overdoing it will certainly increase the odds!! Glad the Prednisone did the trick!

CAROLYN - praying Jessica gets some relief and healing soon! And she's expecting?? Wow, you're gonna be a grandma!!! :)

I feel like I spent most of the weekend researching tax issues for a client.....and now I have to try to convince him to change some things this week. Wish he had called me BEFORE he made the mess!!!!

Watching the game...........and heading to bed afterwards!

Wishing everyone a great rest of your evening.........

Prayers for all!!

xoxo


stronghunter said...

Hi,

Nest empty.

Football game not going the way I wanted.

Mema Jo said...


Just finished watching Downton Abbey - I've checking on the scores of the game.

Like others have said - Our birds know what they are doing!

Closing down - I'll check the nest around mid-night

Goodnight and sleep well
SED & AOYP

JudyEddy said...

stronghunter said...

Nest empty right now, Jo.

Good night.

SED, everyone.

Judie said...

Watched Downton Abbey. Not liking Daisy's attitude and not liking how Carson is treating his bride. Wonderful performance by Maggie Smith.

Shirley, let's make a deal. Whichever of us runs out of tissues first, the other will share. Did not like the game's outcome but am happy for Payton Manning.

Nest is empty.

Wishing everyone a night of restful sleep.

Lolly said...

We liked the outcome of the game! Sorry!

Just peeked at the next and no eagle!

Have Downton Abby recorded and will watch it some time this week.

Now off to bed! Night all!

Sandi said...

Goodorming my eagle friends. nest is MT. Start of a new school week for me - let's see what it brings.

Linda and Carolyn, it's so nice to see you both posting on the blog. Carolyn, I hope Jessica is feeling less puny today.

Kay, looks like some snow may be headed your way?

I missed the 2nd half of the SB game - didn't have a strong preference about either team winning. I did like the half time show and Lady Gaga did an excellent job with the National Anthem!

Have agreyt day all.

Jewels said...

G' morning all
Linda, Yes I am going to be a Grandma, I so cannot wait!! I am beyond excited.
As far as her less puny... I am not sure.. We got out of the Er just after 9pm... they gave her two bags of fluids, iv antibiotics and zofran. Prescrips for zofran, antibiotic and off work till Wednesday. She felt good when we left the hospital. Even tho she had been drinking water, she was very dehydrated with the vomiting. Dr did say that if she is not better in a few days, they would admit her. Having a lil Pnut makes things more serious.

two more 8 hour days..then my days off, Wednesday and Thursday. I cannot wait to just sleep.

WVJerry said...

Good morning Sandi and Jewels. I see two eagles in nest. Carolyn - I hope daughter gets better soon. I also missed second half of game plus missed National Anthem. Did see a little of halftime show. Enjoy the day and take care all.

WVJerry said...

MT nest now.

Jewels said...

Good Morning Jerry. I unfortunately missed all the game and shows but noone could tear me away from my kid. Thank you for her well wishes.

Linda said...

Good Morning!

Thank you, SANDI. ONLY here, could you step away because of life's circumstances and come back and feel so welcomed and as if you never were gone!!

CAROLYN - So sorry Jessica had such a bad day yesterday. She must have been one sick cookie to need fluids. More than anything, I hate throwing up. Prayers that the antibiotics work and she gets over this. I would imagine they did check her for the flu...... Please keep up posted!!

Nest is MT, but I must have just missed them. Glad you saw them JERRY!!

Will check in later, if time permits.......

Have a blessed day!!

Jewels said...

OH Linda, you are so right... I hadn't been on here in so long and everyone has been so welcoming that I was back. This is truly the best "friendship" anyone can ever have. Some have never met face to face and some of us are lucky that we have met and can see each other often and some daily... like me and Margy. I love you all.

I will keep you all posted on Jess. She was very dehydrated and I assume she was tested for flu too. Oh and I forgot she has UTI now too.... SO indeed very sick.

Linda said...

Both eagles in the nest now.

Don't know if food was brought in, but one is clearly chewing on something.

Carolyn, thanks and we love you, too!! Say hi to Margy for me. I miss her!

Linda said...

Shep poofed

Belle remains

Linda said...

And Shep landed back again.....just about on top of Belle!!

Moving big sticks around!

Linda said...

Shep poofed again.....and was in less than 30 seconds with another big stick!!

Strengthening the walls........as Bell messes with the egg cup!

Linda said...

Too funny..... Belle nudged Shep out of the way and moved his sticks to where she wanted them.

He walked around the nest.....and poofed again. Hasn't returned yet.

Camera just made a weird noise and is kind of buzzing.

It's a beautiful morning at the nest.....vehicles beginning to come in and out!! Just a little sunshine to make things picturesque!

A fresh new day!! Hoping for good things to come this week!!

I'll stop now.......... :)

stronghunter said...

Good morning,

I see one of our eagles in the nest. Looking the other way.

stronghunter said...

Both eagles in the nest.

grannyblt said...

Fish delivered. Maybe today is the day!

Judie said...

Good morning.

Fresh Monday thread. Come on over.

stronghunter said...

Looks like that fish is being eaten.
