1 – 200 of 211 Newer› Newest»Jo, are you in here??????
Ok, looks like I'm the only one here. Everyone must be out looking for Jo.
We can't find Jo anywhere.
Thanks Steve for the new thread!!
Thanks, Steve! Now we know that the eaglet on the branch isn't Spunky!
Okay, must have finished it all gone!! That just looked like a lot of hard work. Mits, Geula answered on the other page that the jackals are for real!
Where is Jo, Where is Jo?
Good Grief!!!! I sit here all this time watching eat, I leave the room to look for Jo, I come back and he is gone. Oh, but a parent just came home...
Took Big Boy a while to finish off those turtles...
Must have been MS Inbetween is my guess of the color pic from a couple of days ago...
Parent back in nest. Wonder what he/she brought if anything. I hope they get to eat away from the nest cause they don't get much in the nest!! Wonder how long it will be before a kid arrives. I didn't even get this typed until there was 1 mantling!!
Parent gone again, and another eaglet in the nest!
We have been blessed with many visits today
Now, who might that be in the nest??
More food...
Looks like hunting is the lesson of the day...
parent in the nest...my live feed is breaking up
parent left and one youngun is there too. busy busy busy!
Jo is NOT in my loo (I checked)
has she been found?
Don't think that is a fish either!
looked furry, oh more company
I think it is another turtle. Poor turtles today. I think that would be more hard work than it would be worth.
Geula, thanks for checking in your loo for Jo. She is still MIA! She must have fell in!
Yes, Sharon I saw Geula's post. Is that another turtle they brought, take it easy guys there is plenty to go around.
I think Big Boy cam back, and then Ms INbetween, she was trying to go for his lunch
She must have the leftovers from last time, she is eating at 12
Might be Spunkster....
OK, so now I'm getting concerned about Jo...2hours+MIA!!
Oh, and Steve, yes, thanks for the new thread!!!
More ripping and tearing....
It seems that sharing is a thing of the past.....now, children, be nice, there's enough for both of you. I can't convince 'em! They ain't lisnin!
Thank you Steven, if you happen to see Jo, let us know.
you guys are a riot!
Jooooooo where are ya?
Lots of visitors today! Wonder how much meat one can get off a lousy turtle....maybe why they're so anxious......
okay kids, I'm going to say good night. It's been a long and eventful day. My tomorrow bring more visits and better live webcam feed.
now now now, no fighting!
MAWOY ( may angels watch over you)
Sandy, kinda reminds me of myself when I'm eating steamed crabs!!! Alot of work for some delicious meat.
Thank you Geula. I hope you have a restful and peaceful night!!
MAWOY to you too, Geula. Good Night.
Maybe Mom brought in a turtle in each talon. Probably wouldn't be so hard to do with those slow little fellers. Teaching them how to handle all kinds of food. YUCK!
You can really see the color difference in their feathers when the sun shines on them.
I like that! MAWOY.....all, and our eagles!
Yummy...love steamed crab. Wonder if turtle tastes like crab since frog tastes like chicken......LOL
Come on kids, get along!!
3:41 p.m. Something has their attention to the right!
I see one has left, the other one is now taking a rest at noon in the nest
Jo, come out, come out wherever you are!! Hide-n-seek is over now!
Parent in the nest feeding the baby. Now 2 babies in the nest. Can we have a third? She is keeping whatever she has I think. Well, she must be eating leftover turtle because it looks like Spunky has a fish. Oh, who knows, I can't see too good.
One of them just walked across the nest with what looks like a fish stuck to its talon.
4:20 p.m. Boy them younguns are awfully still. Wonder if they are getting ready to fistacuff! I wonder if they growl at each other cause that is what it looks like!
I would think the screen was froze if it weren't for the leaves blowing and Momma moving her head!
Turn around, and 2 eaglets and Mom or Dad in the nest...what a great day!
Anybody know what the blue thing is in the nest, or am I imagining things?
That turd just took that fish right away from Spunky.
Sandy, what blue thing?
OMG that was so funny, they were all quiet, looking to the right, and the one at the bottom of the nest took advantage of the situation and just stole the other's food, was quick as a mouse...now mantling it...
Wasn't that funny, Sharon
Off goes the adult
sorta on the left side of the rock behind the baby
Now the one that's eating is almost on top of it. It's white with a purple spot.......I think
Isn't blue a 4-letter word around here????
Is that our Ms Piggy in the nest?!
nope, no blue
oh gross, it may be a fish head with me seeing the eye....
Jo,
There's your poop shoot!
Where are ya?
CYA Spunster!
or I may be losing it too....LOL gotta go. Keep good notes.
LOL at the fish eye staring at Sandy!
At the sound of the tone (DING) Do you know where your Jo is?????
I am outtahere for a while too!! Somebody has to keep good notes. For God's sake Jo, where are ya??? We miss you and can't go on without you!
Fish eyes, I'm sooooo out of here, see you all later.
Okay, Paula, are you going to be on here taking notes?
Sharon, I gotta go for awhile, too, I'll try to keep checking.
Ms Inbetween sitting in the nest at 12 oclock, 4:45 pm
4:48 she just flew the coop...new page up
Is the coast clear---Did all those crazy jackals leave - Here I am! Here I am! Sorry to cause concern - I did the Loo thing & then took a nap without telling anyone - a long rewarding nap! Phone rang-a desparate eagle watcher named Sharon was on the line-I was reading all the comments-laughing & hurrying so I could let you all know I was ok-Blog froze on me & had to reboot- I love you momsters - won't do that again. Bet you thought I didn't make it through my 'first flight'. Now back to eagle watching.
I think we better stay on this thread-the next one up just doesn't look well. Pic won't come through. You can comment on it but I'm staying here for now. Can't believe all those turtles... Told Sharon that as of July 4 the tree isn't off limits anymore-not that you can get on the NCTC grounds. Be neat to find some of those left over turtle shells as a keepsake....
Well Jo i see you have moved up from the porta-potty to loo's now..lol Hey Gang, i am with you Jo the other page doesnt look to safe neither. The kids must have been fed really well if they are eating turtles, i think they have 7 kinds of different meat in them from what i can remember.(Unless thats an old wives tale)..lol Jo only way i would go there near that tree is with fishing hip boots on and lots of bug bite medicine for ticks..lol
5:49 pm, nest still empty
6:10pm quite empty nest now.
Hi NILLA How has your day been? I got in big trouble today with the momsters - have you been over to the site to see Angie's pics in our album?
Paula Are you home from work now? Thanks again for the album description fix!
Well, look who is back!!! Jo, Welcome home! We missed you. I didn't even check to see if any eagles were in the nest, came right to the blog to see if you came back. Glad you had a nice relaxing nap.
Nilla, the bottom of that tree probably looks like the falcon ledge.
No Jo i havent been over yet to take look at them. Mits Jo said about getting a turtle shell for a keepsake..lol My day has been good so far im at work but i work tomarrow and then off for 5 days til next weds.But ya know i stop in from time to time and check blogs. Hopefully my DSL at home will get here soon and i will have it set up.
MITS: That was a good comparison & I bet you're right! The ledge & bottom of the tree....How I hated looking at that ledge........
Jo, that ledge is a pig-stie, but at least they did not poop-shoot over the ledge on anyone below. I hope they have the cam on the day they power-wash it.
No, Jo, still at work, and you're welcome.
Just checking in.
6:48 pm, empty nest!
I looked at the albums over on Momster's and its great.. Thanks for posting all of them. Mits i checked on panda's and they were sleeping earlier. The falcon ledge was empty.. talking about power washing i wouldnt want to be underneath when they do..lol The Ospreys out in Washington have added some more color to their nest, and the babie are moving around. Eaglets in BC were sleeping.. Owls were not in the nest... Storks in Germany were just making noises and hungry. Oh my i should get a job as a wild animal reporter..lol
Man, Nilla, you sure do get around!
I am waitng on some dinner being brought to me..BBQ chcicken and scolloped tator's and veggie's .. YUM YUM .. OUR nest seems to be empty right now.
LOL yup paula i have them all and other's in my favorites and just go down the list..lol
Paula my name suggestion for mom and pop are Mom--Ethel Pop---Fred..............lol Just being silly I vote for Liberty and Belle!!!! Hey Jo how ya like me now???????LMAO
Nilla , thats' what I do, just go right down my list of favorites. Ahh the sun is slowing setting in the west and here we are with an empty nest. I have to go fix dinner now. Catch you all later.
NILLA: I was going down my list of favorites.. I don't have the pandas site - is it just WasDCZoo..? Did you eat all that delicious food yet? When do you go to the christening?
MITS is a poet - but I don't think she knows it.... in the west - an empty nest That was cool.....
Jo its washington national zoo or try Fonz.. i kept trying til i found it and when you do click on panda you can also see the tiger cubs
Hey Mits did you know they have live cams in many of the animals cages at the zoo??? I saw a Octopussy and some monkeys just click on the little pictures of the animals at the bottom of the page to see them.. Our nest is still empty at 8:50 pm but i did see a parent fly in earlier and fly off again.
8:51pm Don't think much nest activity will take place this evening hour - I guess they are all 3 going to find a branch for the night - but then you never know... I just spent an hour cleaning out my hard drive.. it was so sluggish. Realy moving right along now. I'll keep watching that nest..
someone is in the nest, may be spunky.
Nilla, My sister and have been watching this zoo site since the day Tai Shan was born on July 9, 2005. He weighed 2oz. and was the size of a stick of butter. He now weighs 53lbs. He and his Mom and Dad have given me many hours of fun watching him grow up. As per an agreement, he will be sent to China when he is 2 yrs old. Talk about emthy nest, my heart is going to break when he leaves. I love watching all the animals and I regularly correspond with the kiwi-keeper. To see him, he is nocturnal, click on the flamingo page and then click on kiwi-cam. He is 4 months old. Still keeping my eye on the eagle in the nest.
I think Spunky is home!!!!!!!
Spunky is the smartest one of all, he knows where to come to get a good nights sleep.
She sure does and just to think she is sleeping on all of Jo's turtle shells..lol Mits have you noticed the Eagles out at Catalina have colored bands or plastic colored identification on there wings? The Opsrey were in the nest being fed but the smallest was hanging back i hope they save some for it and mom feeds it also, it is much smaller. I am just aworry wort...lol
Geez Mits is it just you and i holding down the fort now? Ohhh Eagleholics come out come out where ever you are...lol I am only here for another 30 minutes.
You're not alone....Glad we got 1 in the nest..
Awwwwwwww , poor little guy is tuckered out and snoozing already!
"Oh Our Spunky Is Safe Tonight Going To Sleep In The Nest Thats Been Her Home.. With Vision's Of Fish and Turtle Dreams going Thru Her Head.. I am sure we will have Poop Shoots over The Edge.. So Tomarrow At Morning's Early Light Spunky Will Take Flight"...But Afew Times Daily Come Back To Surprise Us With Delight"
In case ya'll didn't have enough cams....they have some at the San Diego Zoo, also. I went out for New Year's to visit a friend, and we went to the San Diego Zoo. It was huge, great big place for the animals...
so I course before I went, I checked them out online, they have a cam on their panda, who was born a couple of weeks after ours.. and they have some other cams too, can't really remember, been awhile since I visited the site.
I was just in on the momsters site - I really like the calendar that is being kept! Great Idea. The photo on the blog by Todd Harless at NCTC was taken on the 11th per Steve. So that means it could have been BigBoy or MsInbetween... I'm not guessing!!!
Nilla, I don't think I've seen the eagles in Catalina. The osprey nest, the one over the water, looks like a patchwork quilt with all the colors in it.
Nilla You're getting poetic! LOL
After a long day of work, I finally sat down in front of the computer-it is nice to see one eagle sleeping in the nest. I like to think the others are all nearby,keeping an eye on one another.
They probably are, floralgirl, they probably are.
LOL Thanks Paula as if we dont have enough to watch............................ Jo Jo where forart my Jo Jo.. She is nestled at her computor, wondering how she will climb that tree for turtle shells.. Ok almost time for me to close and leave but see ya'll tomarrow afternoon around 4 .. Keep the home fire burnin Mits, Jo and everyone.. Nighty Nite, Nilla
Night, Nilla.
Goodnite, NILLA LOL
To answer you Jo its is Sunday in Winchester at a Catholic church.. My daugther an son in law had to go to classes for hours to be the God Parents of the lil boy. And No i didnt get my food come to think of it thanks for reminding me..lol its ok i had Chinese Okkkkkkkkkk Niterssssssss
I am back. Thanks for teh good notes. Now I have to work a little while, ARRRGGGHHH! i am so ready for bed but that ain't happening yet!! Good to see little one all snug in his bed. Glad to see you back Jo. You were sorely missed. Hello Nilla and Mits and Paula and floralgirl!! Did you all miss me?
Hello out there!! Am I by myself? I feel so lonesome!
Hey Sharon, where ya been?
I had to go out to a meeting, now am working over time! It is all good though, pay day is going to be good next time!!
Glad to see ya back :)
I think everyone else is out animal cam watching!
Thanks goodness I have dialup at home, otherwise would be watching all those cams too, and never get anything done!
Welcome Momster Sharon .. Was wondering that it was about time to hear from you.
I bet GLO is having a loving time !!
My live eagle cam gives a better night pic then the live feed... Looks as though he changed his sleeping position.
You all have a good night, I worked some OT tonight too, I'm beat....see you tomorrow!
Night Spunky!
Hello
Hello
Hello
I am just trying out all the HTML tags
I bet Glo is doing all kinds of loving tonight with Elia. Miss her though.
Jo, you are doing a great job with those tags. I am proud of you!
Goodnight, Paula
1031pm
Hi "Vicky" West_Va_gal her is anybody out there??
Read all the comments (thank you good notes everyone).
Sounds like the food wagon brought in the "buffet" today..
Hi Vicky WVAGal: There was quite alot of action this afternoon. There is one in the nest now. I took a nap and missed mostly all of it.. But everyone's comments sure got me up to speed. Hope your day has been good. Sharon is here with us. LOL
Thank you Sharon this is greattttttt with your help might have the handle on this lol
Did you all see Spidey just now come down in front of the lens. I do not like him very much. I hope next year they spider-proof the camera. I do not like spiders!!
I saved some great pictures of him the first night he covered the camera lens. Eerie but cool.
Go Gal Go
Oh what tangled webs we weave when first we practice to deceive (or something like that).
This is pretty cool!
I just had to see if they would all three do it at the same time. It worked. I know, I need a life!
I tried HTML letter like 'r' thinking I could get red letters...Didn't work.I'll have to ask about other letters/tags you could use - Maybe my IT expert could give me some hints...
"Vicky" West_va_gal I type this so we don't get mixed up with other Vicky lol....Jo I too missed all the wonderful eaglet and eagle action today.
Went to phy.therapy and ended up having to go over for a shot in the spine so I've out of it and on my back again....hopefully better within 3 days
I am so greatful for this site....I did say something to one of the ladies up there and I think she thinks we are all nuts lol. Being so engross into Eagles...guess she doesn't get the picture we get and the awesome feeling of the "gift" of seeing them and being part of this NCTC Eagle site....
No one can discourage me to never come in to see them and learn so much...love, life, parenting, siblings interactions, parents protection and guidance and of course can't leave out the good old "poop shoot" ...
You would think as much flapping around and jumping they did before fleding and with parent fly in and out that spider web would have been destroyed...although they are fast rebuilders lol
"Vicky" W.
Jo maybe then we could type in red and blue with the white background.....there you go Sharon your wish in something for red, white and blue.
Be on just a alittle time more then it's back (lol I typed back... it's back on the back.....
V.W. (getting shorter for Vicky West_Va_gal ) hee hee
Vicky WVGal: Sharon & I were talking today about what we have experienced in watching this eagle family.. We agreed that in the past few months we have seen all the parenting skills we have to use for 20 years.... LOL
I pray for your good health to return!
I like that idea. I love red, white and blue!!
Thanks Jo health is good back is poor can't say gruggy cause their is always someone worse off then me....
I love watching their partening skills, and watching them live and Eagle and eaglet life. It's like (for me) looking at the ocean with no end to it and wondering just how God did it....all the feeling imageable goes through me..AWESOMELY REMARKABLE
Yes SHARON I've been expecting someone coming back from the sycamore tree saying "Oh my someone painted it red white and blue" wonder who ....
Vicky W.
ooops gruggy is not right "crummy" sorry
Vicky W - that is a wonderful idea - paint the American Flag all over it! Wonder if they would let me do that? NAW, I doubt it.
The Christmas after my Daddy died, I got a Christmas ornament of an eagle and a flag with the intention of doing that every year. For the past 2 years, I haven't been able to find any. I never dreamed then how eagle nuts I would become!!
Gruggy sounds crummy too!
Wow Sharon I can see it I really can; it is beautiful, red, white, and blue "The American Flag Eagle Tree" in the news located at Shepherstown, WVa near the NCTC Building. ahhhhhhhhhhhh
If Jo goes with you make her keep her shoes on lol
Vicky W.
I bet Pier 1 might just have an eagle christmas ornament.. They have the peace dove....... My daughter gives me one each Christmas. They are hand painted & beautiful. I'll keep my eyes out for an Eagle.......I'm about ready to call it a day..........
Just thought of something be right back......
Vicky W.
WV: NILLA said we had to wear hip high boots if we went under that tree- I think MITS even compared it to the Falcon ledge.....
Now where did that woman go - Hopefully not to the loo - sometimes people don't return to quickly if they go there.............. LOL
If she went to the loo, I ain't waiting up on her!!
I'm back Jo just wanted to do Sharon proud.....
It has been a fun day ------- I am having a 'loo' laugh!!!!
Jo, they make Depends for that!
W.V. So how did you make Sharon proud. Did you go out & paint that tree LOL
lol Now Sharon is wondering what did that woman go and do????? "Sharon thinking".. "She is alot of times up to something that makes me want to question her. She makes me curositous????"
Vicky W.
America and Flag would be awesome names, Vicky W.
I checked my email!! Ha, Ha!!
Sharon - now I am really laughing!!
No Jo not actually......but it does have to do with Sharon's red white and blue
Vicky W.
Paula, I know you must have turned in for the night, but I have the San Diego cams on my list also; they have pandas,apes and elephants and polar bear cams. The Atlanta zoo has a Panda cam, they are on pregancy watch with their female panda. The Memphis zoo has a panda cam that has been "BLUE for several weeks now. When I wrote to them, they seemed frustrated , I guess I wasn't the only one to e-mail them. If you like all kinds of differenr birds, the Memphis Zoo has a tropical bird cam that you get 4 mins and you can move it around yourself. I'm sorry, didn't mean to ramble.
That is alright Mits, we all ramble a whole lot!!!
Dang....need that book for dumbies for myself lol I forgot if I did it like that it went to everybody.....now Sharon knows
Vicky W.
Well, how am I going to ever know what you did with Sharon's red,white & blue.
Sharon: Did you get an email from W.V.Gal with an american flag or something?
MITS: Sharon & WV Gal are up to something special & we don't know what it is-- yet! MITS-glad your hubby left you back on the computer.... LOL
Hi mits....there is a site I'll have to find it tomorrow (hope I kept it) haven't been in it for awhile. Were you drive the "live webcam" yourself looking for the Gorillas and you can zoom in and out.... it is great
Vicky W.
Vicky W. - it went to eaglet_momsters group!
With all this excitment, I may not be able to get to sleep for another 2 hrs. LOL
Ha Ha Sharon found out....Jo go get your email lol I am such the dumby
Vicky W.
So - I am going over to the momsters group & look at the message.....
Be Back............
I've been following the conversation and no you can't spray paint the eagles next year.
Ok the Jo go to Eagle_Momster group lol it's right there..
Thanks Sharon couldn't figure out how you knew so so soom (smarty
Vicky W.
Mits it's the tree not the nest.... Sharon wants to paint an "American Flag" on it.....
Vicky W.
That sounds like a great idea:):) We can all visit her in federal prison:):) Sharon , just tie a yellow ribbon round the ole sycamore tree, but if you want to paint, I'll be there.
Mits, ROFLMAO. Jo, can I borrow a Depends!!
Great idea for names W.V.Gal! and yes MITS we could spray paint a tail feather or so..or a wing tip.......
I think it is just a funny thought & that we would never do that! If we ever did that, all the fun of guessing who is who would not exist..........
Well Sharon you were my inspiration for those two names
America - Girl Flag - Boy
After considering it not everyone in here is from this state where NCTC is and the Eagles do respresent the "Good Old USA"
Hee Hee got it in in time too (wink)
Vicky W.
I was just wondering if the Spunkster could look anymore comfortable. Spreading them wings out wide. I just love him!!
I really prefer the poise pads myself, its a good thing it is late and nobody is reading us.
No, but they will at least have interesting reading when they read the blog tomorrow. I am still crying from laughing so hard!!! I love it!
Ok I need to know how many of "us" are goint to prison..
I Support Sharonso funny mits...dont' make me laugh to hard here it hurts when I laugh lol
Now I can't get "tie the yellow ribbon around the scyamore tree"
Vicky W.
They are going to think we were all hitting the sauce and I don't mean spaghetti. The little Spunkster does look comfy.
Remember Tony Olando and Dawn.... Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree .LALALA
Vicky W., are you young? Tony Orlando and Dawn? Tie a Yellow ribbon round the old oak tree, its been 3 long years, will you still want me? When I go to prison for painting the tree red, white and blue, it will be followed by a yellow ribbon waiting for me when I return from prison!!
We will all put yellow ribbons on our trees when you go to prison and if I move to Arizona, I'll put one on my cactus, but that might be alittle tricky.
Sharon did Jo go to the lool????
Vicky W.
Is she MIA again??
Nope "old as dirt" lol lol lol
"Tie a Yellow Ribbon" song was in the movie John Wayne played in.
Vicky W.
Spunky you aren't dreaming boy we are telling you bedtime stories here .....
Vicky W.
I did not go to the loo! Just trying to finish up my work night before midnight so I will get credit for it for today! Be right back!
John who????? Just teasing.
I didn't go anywhere yet! I had to delete a comment because I was laughing so much I hit it twice....... I got Poise!
No, Sharon, Focus now, Vicky asked if Jo had gone to the Loo, not you....
Watch, instead of the live-feed going down, they will shut us down. hee-hee
Sharon its past midnight, no more work..
Okay, I am back and didn't turn into a pumpkin at midnight. I am however getting ready to go to bed now. I have to get up early in the morning and will be on close watch to see what is happening.
W.V. - Your health & my health should show great improvement since laughter is the best medicine. I feel better & hope you do to........ LOL
THE MIDNIGHT HOUR IS HERE !!
Anyone going to turn into a pumpkin??
Jo you mis-spelt Poise I am sure you meant POISON that's what happens when your not suppose to climb that sycamore tree lol
Vicky W.
OOPPS!!! that was me, I didn't want to have to qualify for the 3rd post person and have to quote somebody.
Is GLO on line? Who was the Anonymous? I'm getting scared that someone is watching us!
SHARON What about a pumpkin??
That is too spooky - your comment while I was making mine........
I'm going to bed .. I think.
OK, last one out turn out the lights. Good Night all MAWOU!!
Sorry about the unfocused part. Feeling a little on the brain dead side right now. I am glad Jo found her Poise, now she can't leave us to go to the loo anymore!
Ok Spunky, Sharon, Jo and mits
I'm signing out going to sleep in "my nest" lol.
Nite all pleasant eagle and eaglet dreams.
Vicky W. (out)
MITS: You quit that! You scared me! LOL
Goodnight All. LOL
Jo, that pumpkin bit is a little scary!! Great minds think alike though!! Glo said she wouldn't be online while in Arizona but it makes you wonder!
Goodnight everybody. May the Eagle Spirits watch over you as they are Spunky!!
A hundred apologies, I'm getting groggy or grumpy or sleepy, yea thats' it sleepy. TTUL!!!
Hi, all,
I'm looking in at midnight in CA to see how Spunky is doing...
He apparently got enough of the "sleeping like a dead bird" and is perched on the edge at 12 o'clock (more or less) with a ring of Spirit Eagles guarding him.
Good night you the whole eagle family and to you all.
Jim
6 a.m. Good morning everybody. Live feed is down this morning. Empty nest. Will watch and wait for their return!
Make a good day!
