paula eagleholic said...

Good Morning, Eagleland!

Stay warm!

MITS said...

Happy Tuesday to you Paula.

MITS said...

Sharon, can you just imagine, if all this had accumulated???? Go ahead sing the chesnut song!!!:):)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning again everybody!! It is still 28° here and so cold. My sparrows are really eating this morning, trying to stay warm I guess. Still spitting snow here.

MITS said...

I'm watching that, Sharon.

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Steven for the NEW THREAD and Mits for telling us.

wvgal_dana said...

I am sending the "news Steve sent me about when the cam will start" around in an email through the eaglet_momsters mail. That way people that don't blog now will also get the news.

wvgal_dana said...

I wonder if Norma is getting any snow in Romney WV?

MITS said...

BAMBOONS at Pete's Pond

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, Mits & Sharon & Dana & Suz!

paula eagleholic said...

And Glo! I think she's up too!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

EAGLE AT KENT!

MITS said...

The baby bamboons are playing king of the mountain!!

wvgal_dana said...

Well thank you Paula it's nice to hear you :). Right back at ya gal

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at Kent!

MITS said...

EAGLE ALERT OUT IN KENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Up the branch now, was laying down in the nest.

MITS said...

Darn just flew away...the sun is still coming up there, it look sooooo pretty with its big white head sitting there, wonder if it spent the night. Video still not working at Maine, but 10 second cam is 0k.

MITS said...

AHHH! eagles and bamboons, what more could a girl ask for????

wvgal_dana said...

fatty to spring out of the water suddenly lol

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Tai is sleeping up in the tree. Buta is sleeping in the crook of Lun's arm. Eagle gone at Kent but I expect it will be back.

wvgal_dana said...

Now that was really cute. Lun Lun was laying on her back sleeping and Buta Buta was curled near the wall but beside of Lun Lun.
That was the cutest picture yet of Lun Lun :).
Well mommie left for a bit now she is back feeding the growing chubby panda.

Mema Jo said...

Cold Everywhere that we're from - Haven't heard from Jim yet.

Good morning all my eagle buddies

Jefferson Cam: If Jefferson Cam wanted to make money for the town, they would install Red Light Camers there like Frederick has. That would slow them down to a halting stop.

glo said...

LOL MeMa Jo Was thinking the same thing about that stop sign Thought "maybe I'll see if they need another traffic cop there to bring in the funds LOL. Looks like a gorgeous spot to live!!! As long as you drive defensively down town anyway.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

If you watch long enough, I am sure you will see police cars doing the same thing!

MITS said...

What about a 4-way stop sign???

MITS said...

What a cute pic of Tai sleeping in the tree.

MITS said...

Wonder how LULU enjoyed her visit to the ZOO-ZOO???

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

They don't stop at a 2-way, what would make you think they would a 4-way? :):):)

The road that you turn onto there is a main thoroughfare. It is College Avenue and about 2 miles down the road you run into Virginia. You can actually see up the road before you get to the end of Jefferson Street and I guess that is why it is just slow down and go most of the time.

MITS said...

Great looking bird at Petes

glo said...

Well Sharon tell them you now have lots of "Eagle Eyes watching...we could get license plate numbers for them for a donation to the eagle cam LOL

glo said...

Suzanne You have mail

paula eagleholic said...

Think my Java needs some Java this morning, now I can't get Maine or Kent up - anyone else having trouble?

MITS said...

Sounds like a good idea to me, Glo. Of course the cam would have to be bigger, so we could see the license plates. Get right on that , Sharon, go to the Mayor. BTW, who is the mayor?

MITS said...

Tai is awake and snacking on the tree.

MITS said...

What a cutie-pie on wavelit-africam!!

Mema Jo said...

I think I just saw Fatty down in the water as that bird was flying. What do you think? Fatty is at Petes -Right? Getting some views of the pond that I haven't seen before.

Mema Jo said...

I do have the cam up at Kent Is. - the time is click correctly.......

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

The Mayor is Garry Moore! He is a really nice man, a pastor and loves the Beaver Band!!! :):):)

Mema Jo said...

Name that Bird at Pete's

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mits, I am here to tell you a cutie pie. That is a face only a mother could love!!

MITS said...

What's NOT to love of the BEAVER BAND:):):)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

HERON?

MITS said...

ZEBRAS ARE CHARGING TO THE WATER AT WAVELIT.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

ZEBRAS AT WAVELIT!

MITS said...

JO THAT IS THE CORRECT TIME AT THE kENT NEST!!

MITS said...

Baby zebra trying to nurse if mom would stand still.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

WHAT THE HECK IS THAT BIRD AT PETE'S POND NOW?

MITS said...

I'm seeing more of the male zebra than I care to see.

MITS said...

There is some kind of eagle at PETE"S POND

Mema Jo said...

I see that Eagle also............

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Mits. Restarted and viewing fine now...

glo said...

Suzanne One more mail LOL

MITS said...

I don't want to shut it down, but I have read somewhere about that particular eagle just CRS!

Mema Jo said...

I can't find a pic of it on the WildCam...

MITS said...

Think we were talking about this several weeks ago. We can see an eagle in AFRICA, but, can we see them in Sheperdstown...NOOOOOO!

MITS said...

Zebs zre rolling in the dirt.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

From the best I can find on Google, it is an African Fish Eagle, if it has a white tail too but I can't see its tail at the moment.

MITS said...

He reall is quite handsome!!

MITS said...

My hubby words to me before he left for NYC yesterday was stay off the computer and get out. HMMM! wonder if I listened to him.

MITS said...

My wavelit clock is still off by 2 hours.

MITS said...

I'm assuming that little zebra is ok???

MITS said...

Sharon, I think I see some white tail feathers.

MITS said...

OH-OH, these were the guys who chased the zebras away last night on wave-lit

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Tell hubby you are out exploring the world!!

Definitely a fish eagle.

Now why would they take the camera off the beautiful zebras back to the not-so-beautiful water buffalo!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Just now got up close and personal with a BM from a water buffalo! EEEWWWW!

MITS said...

Right, I thought the same thing, Sharon.

MITS said...

Oh my, Eagle is on the ground.

MITS said...

Please Mr. Eagle..not to close to that pond...fatty is looking for dinner.

MITS said...

OMG!!!! HE IS IN THE POND...HELP!!

Mema Jo said...

DC anda Cam 2 - I sure hope Lou is still there and enjoying this!

Mema Jo said...

I love seeing the zebras on the africam

Mema Jo said...

Mei just might WACK that little bruiser!!

MITS said...

Beautiful sunset at Pete's Pond..where did the eagle go???

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Fish eagles eat baby crocs!

MITS said...

But can he eat Fatty???? The cam person at pete's loves sunrises and sunsets...good guy!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

He probably could not eat Fatty!

Mema Jo said...

Fatty ain't no baby crock! Eagle taking his chances.
Sun set is beautiful. Maybe the eagle flew into the sunset.

Tai looks lonely while Mei eats her bamboo.

I'll BBL

MITS said...

Beautiful blue bird at Pete's

MITS said...

He just took off.

MITS said...

Close up of blue bird.

MITS said...

Water buffaloes look like the defensive backs of the Chicago Bears!

MITS said...

That blue bird look like he has corn-rows on his head.

MITS said...

Am I they only one here????

MITS said...

Tai is going to break that little tree.

MITS said...

Mei just went over to tell him to get down..he listens like me:):):).

MITS said...

Hope that was the cam and not gunshots I just heard at wavelit.

MITS said...

The BLUEBIRD at Pete's Pond was a Malachite Kingfisher!

wvgal_dana said...

I think that eagle would have a problem eating "fatty" lol

wvgal_dana said...

Bye Suzanne

wvgal_dana said...

You would think with all those animals in the water "fatty" would drag one down.

MITS said...

See ya, Suzanne!!

wvgal_dana said...

Sharon I don't think there are any other cros in the pond. I think that is why they put "fatty" in there. Where he was at the other cros wasn't getting to eat.
I if he is HE I don't think that eagle will be eating any of his cros..

wvgal_dana said...

Are there still flurries in Bluefield?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Dana, it looks like the flurries have stopped in Bluefield for now.

wvgal_dana said...

I would love to see "fatty" sunbathing.

wvgal_dana said...

Time in Botswana at Pete's Pond is 7:20pm. Sure get lots of animals night and day.

MITS said...

Sounds like a rattler at Pete's

MITS said...

Hi, Norma! Glad you are good thru the eagle season!:):):)

wvgal_dana said...

Mits what time does it show on Pete's Pond?

MITS said...

Hang on, Dana, I'll go check.

MITS said...

DANA, right now pete's is at 7:49p.m......the cam at wavelit is 5:49p.m. I e-mailed Trevor of Wavelit and they are going to adjust that clock to the correct time..they are both 6 hours ahead of us at this time.

wvgal_dana said...

Keep your eyes open Mits "fatty" likes to catch food at night. He will at daytime too, but crocs eat at night more.

wvgal_dana said...

Norma I was expecting Nilla at the Open House. She didn't come. I don't know why. Hope she shows up on here.

MITS said...

Dana, you have mail!

MITS said...

All this time and I have yet to see "FATTY"

wvgal_dana said...

Well the forum there; I only search a short while.
One seem him "sunbathing".
Another saw his bit an ostrich.

So I'm sure he is in there.

I don't think you are going to ask for money for us to send you over to swim in there and find you sweetie.

wvgal_dana said...

I might have to get to mail when I come back. Husband has a dr. appt. then we will eat dinner out.

MITS said...

Something is partially blocking the KENT cam.

MITS said...

Nope, don't want to see "FATTY" up close and personal

MITS said...

Whatever it was in front of the cam at kent is gone.

wvgal_dana said...

Just letting you all know on here. I do have to go.
But I did send a reply to Steve C. about the need from his "inspired eagle watching group" to see the eggs layed. Also mentioned Kent. Also ask about the still.
So I will let you know if I get an answer.
CROSS YOU FINGERS EVERYONE...PRAY PRAY PRAY..

wvgal_dana said...

bbl

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Normabyrd, if I could get a hold of Buta Buta, I would love the fur right off of her!!

MITS said...

Going out for awhile...TTUL!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

There is some kind of cat at Pete's Pond and it is not your average tabby cat!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I don't know if a cat on the prowl is a good thing to be watching. It is drinking water now. I can't even tell what kind it is but it is big!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, I quit watching Pete's Pond because there were deer-looking animals that came to the pond and I really didn't want to see what that big cat could do with them.

paula eagleholic said...

Cool looking bird in the bushes at Pete's Pond

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

EAGLES AT KENT!!

glo said...

LOL Sharon I know at least one of us that spends VERY Little time at Pete's Pond and even less now that I saw nillas film about Fatty. .I am the one that turned of Grizzly cam with the graffic fish dinner going on..long before any news of a hunt etc. Please give me back "our" eagles" ASAP

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Eagle is busier than a cat covering up pee!

glo said...

Yes it is...wonder if its got a good show going on fromt he other trying to get a stick up there or something

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am out for a while. Be back a little after 9. It is still really cold here!!

MITS said...

I'm back:):):) Tai is not coming in..those eagles out in Kent sure have some big sticks there, thanks Sharon for the pics..knew they would arrive the minute I walked out the door.

wvgal_dana said...

Came back and read comments. Ok just alittle strange. We watched and maybe didn't see the kill of the squirrel, rabbit and fish (they were once alive, some still alive when they came to the nest). Our eagles killed and fed our special 3 eaglets.
If there is a cat of the wild drinking and it does get an animal. It has to eat and feed it's family too.
The bears that are at McNeil Falls doesn't have a Long John Silvers to get their dish from.
Remember Pandas were once "meat" eaters before their availablity of meat shortened and now they eat bamboo.
Not hitting on anyone for what they don't want to watch :) everyone has their preference.
It's nice we are now civilized so we don't have to eat uncooked meat anymore. Oh that would be yuckie ): some people like it quite "rare". Not me. lol

wvgal_dana said...

Mits you mean he is finally coming inside. Oh happy, happy. I was going back and for on cams. That little tree loving panda lol

glo said...

Dana I have absolutley NO problem with survival and how mother Nature does it. I don't find it entertaining however to watch the catch OR the kill....JMHO. Oh I like my meat med. rare tooStrange mixture aren't I .

wvgal_dana said...

Glo We "all" are a strange mixture. That is why it is so neat hearing from each other. That is why I wanted to make sure it was unstood I wasn't putting Sharon or anyone down.

wvgal_dana said...

Sharon I do thing lol I am jealious that you got to see the cat and I didn't. :)

MITS said...

No, Dana I said Tai is NOT coming in.....He is still up the tree, as far as I can tell. Cam still on the outside with pic of tree.

MITS said...

Good news he finally came in and Mei is happy to see him:):):)

MITS said...

Think they threw in some extra biscuits just to get him in.

MITS said...

I like sushi!!!:):) Never thought I would until I tasted a tuna caught that same day in the Atlantic Ocean, just like Mikey..tried it and I liked it with some wasabi on the side...YUMMY!!

MITS said...

Mei is so cute with Tai these last few nights, hugging him and trying to get him to nurse, but he only nurses when he wants to.

wvgal_dana said...

The Chinese Resturant we go to has a Sushi bar Mits you would love that..I couldn't eat that. See different things for different people. That is what I was tring to get across.

MITS said...

eagle out in kent.

glo said...

Eagle still at kent I like that LOL

MITS said...

Poor thing has the sun right in his eyes

glo said...

sorry Mits typed that out hit publish and thought it sent, came back Surprise Publish again...LOL By then you have already sent the info ...Oh well It is still there and I do like that.

glo said...

Well with its 3 eyelids maybe one of them act like built in shades

MITS said...

Isn't he puuurty???

MITS said...

All gone!!

glo said...

Yes Beautiful I hope it just went up in the tree. I'm not done watching yet LOL

MITS said...

You could be correct, Glo.

glo said...

OR I could be very wrong ...hmmm

MITS said...

Its almost 6 o'clock there, may not be back, but he was there right at sunrise this a.m., was wondering if he had spent the night.

glo said...

OK well I have Blogged very little today and just got that Blogger has a problem engineer has beennotified thing LOL So I hope this doesn't mean problems ahead for tonight.

glo said...

Yep i even copied that message in case it didn't post. The one i lost just before it though said I wonder where the eagles from Kent nest do spend thier night or even liberty and Belle for that matter.

MITS said...

I bet if we had a cam up, we would know where they were, Glo.

glo said...

Aww the Eagle is back YES!!!

glo said...

Such a beautiful bird. I am just soaking it in. Might have to last me for a while

wvgal_dana said...

Glo Are you in trouble and the blogger police are after you? lol

glo said...

WEll I guess I kind of don't understand if the came are both in position for the new season, hopefully one is the Still cam , I don't know that it had huge feees. i sure wish it could be turned on. We know they are there .

glo said...

.Dana Well ya never know about those Blogger police. I did get that strange screen once. Just once so far...If I disappear,without saying Good Night, I am in jail, bring wax!!!

glo said...

Well caught the Fly off picture but its pretty blurred. I think it really is gone now, Not up in the tree.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I just saw a bird at the far end of the ledge on Frodocam. I saved the picture. Don't know if it was a parent or a fledgling!

paula eagleholic said...

Evening all, everyone staying warm?

Sharon, any snow left?

glo said...

Hi Paula Welcome back Sharon

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I have Pete's Pond up, Buta and Lun Lun, Kent nest, Frodocam. What else do I need to have up? Oh yeah, Tai and Mei. BRB!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, a fat lot of good that did me, they are in front of either camera!! (Tai and Mei that is).

paula eagleholic said...

Getting dark quickly at Kent, you won't have to keep that one up long, Sharon.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Kent nest MT, Frodocam nest MT, Pete's Pond MT (or nobody is there that I can see). Africam deserted, no Tai and Mei, Nest Box full - Buta Buta and Lun Lun!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

The picture was a little darker than that this morning when I first saw them there. That white just shines!!

paula eagleholic said...

There are Crickets at Pete's Pond (HEHE)

MITS said...

WOW!!! Let's head to pete's pond for the crickets:):):) At least we can't see them...I hate crickets.

MITS said...

When I was in the kitchen tonight I thought, man, the crickets are loud outside...I had left pete's pond on the puter.

MITS said...

Pete's pond seems to be having some technical difficulties tonight

movin said...

Good Tues. evening, All...

Hope you are warm, well and happy in "blustery thread land."

I'm totally headblocked with one of those damn "change of weather" colds [or a reaction to the flu shot I got last Thursday].

Anyway, odds are I will survive...

Not too much action at Frodoville or Afrocam...because I'm still on a modem (hopefully not for long), I have troubles X 10 getting either of the African cams to load, and when I do, there's usually a small pond in the middle of nowhere with no animals in sight!

Once I saw an elephant suck up a couple of glurgs of water and a heron (I think) wading nearby, and then the thing stopped loading....

Well, enough sad tales. I'll try to do better tomorrow.

Sleep tight.

Jim

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I hear that now. Didn't have the sound up before.

MITS said...

I would love to know what is doing all that splashing at the "pond".

MITS said...

The crickets are giving me a headache.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am going to bed now.

Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feathers and fur.

glo said...

You are all sounding as desperate as me LOL

MITS said...

Think I'm going to pack it in for the night, take care, and have a GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!

glo said...

Yes me too. Time to call it a day. Blog at everyone tomorrow. Good Night

wvgal_dana said...

Well was on a phone call for a LONGGGG time. Just got off. Needed to call a person back but too late. Will wake up someone.
Have to talk to them another time.

Jim sorry you picked up a cold.
That Internet 7 has been causing people alot of problems. Take care.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...
