update: We still have some cleanup work to do on webpage text, and on our connections. The site is currently running through Denver. We will make the transition to Wheeling tomorrow.
None of us can believe that an eagle was in the nest when we finally went live.

Oh my Mits is here now let the nest hanky panky begin..lollllllllll Mitizypooo how was your day at the zoo?
Well I just found my keys. They were no where near the coat or the purse. Geesh I must have been on a mission as I tripped over my dogs getting in the door. Guess I emptied out my hands too so I could hit the keyboard LOL. Wonder what else will be showing up in strange places today!
Ook gang we need to take a moment and say to those who have been lurking and never joining in our blog conversations PLEASE dont be shy and say HELLO ..it would mean alot to all of us if you joined in...
Momma left us! (Belle!)
Nilla great day at the zoo, saw Mei and Tai really close up at he window, they were in the new yard this afternoon, but, did not linger too long wanted to get home to see this glorious site, took a pic of my first views of Belle, but sure others have much better ones:):).
Nest empty but just put apicture on momsters of eagle right before leaving
I doubt if our spidy is still there because of them going up and working on the cam? Hope they didnt squish her yikessssss
Oh let me tell ya i told all the people who was down in the heart cath lab and the xray rooms and stress test rooms about this cam and our eagles and my nurses beleive it or not even a couple of the doctors wrote down the web site so they can watch.. Afew had been watching Petes Pond also..
.Mits Feel free to send picture of your first view .With a caption for us too please it will be on the Feed Blitz Loop tomorrow,
In fact since several of us watching from somewhere today also did the Farewll Tributes , Why not all the Hello 2007 Photos from First time you saw the nest today and a caption you would like by your photo for Tonight"s Loop.
If you don't have a Photo you want to send, but you do have something you would like me to Share on the Thread as I enter tonights Loop and Blitz, send that to me. I will add it.
I will need to have the Loop ready to Upload tonight by 10 pm my time, so send for sure by 10 pm Eastern Time as well. I am old and slow after all LOL.
Excellent BW site...love the new pop-up cam, Jo!!! That Lisa...gotta love her.
Taking this quiet time to go and fix alittle dinner... but have cam up on screen..Ok Glo will do i added agreat 1 of her i snapped right before she flew off on momsters
This has really warmed my heart and made my day, week, month, year!!! When I first brought the site up, Liberty and Belle were in the nest. Got so excited, I forgot to snap any pictures.
Jack Hanna is on Ellen with kangaroos babies. I think he is going to have a warthog on here in a minute.
LOL Nilla Ok thanks. Yep fixed me a nice hot drink, made a necessary trip and am thinking about letting the dogs out again. Probably not too much longer before sunset for viewing left today.
Anyone who reads this is welcome to send a Photo and caption or just your comments if you prefer, to me, to Celebrate the Opening of our New Eagle Season 2007 . It will go on the Feed Blitz Loop for tonight. If you need info on what or where Feed Blitz is just ask me in your email.
Send to :
gkeeslar@sbcglobal.net
Oh Sharon I a m so glad you got to see them both there.
Glo, you have mail.
EAGLES ARE IN FLA.
BOTH JUST FLEW OFF.
Got it Mits Thanks
Now is the time, too, to join the eaglet momsters group!
Just send an email to:
pccompton@yahoo.com
All are welcome! There is always room in the nest!
And don't forget to support the NCTC eagle cam. Visit
www.eagletmomsters.com
to purchase items to support the cam, or just make a donation.
I forgot to tell all of you that I got to meet Sandra from Shepherdstown last Friday night. I also had the pleasure of meeting her mother. Both are eagle, Redskin and Nascar fans. They are lovely people and we had a very nice evening. I took some items out to her so she can sell them at a function in Shepherdstown.
And tonight, I am going to meet Beth! She only lives about a mile from the nest. I'll be gazing off her back porch, looking for Liberty and Belle!
Oh my Paula i wish i felt better top drive over, but tell her we all are visiting her alot when babies come..lol After all WE ARE FAMILY....
I hope Beth has a very large deck.
Maybe she would like our Spring Gathering to socialize there.
PAULA Tell her we will bring a picnic lunch one day:):):
L&B are very neat nest builders:).
both in nest at 5:03 took picture
I'm sooo happy to see them.
Looks like they are pretty much "hanging out there for a good amount of time hopefully on a very regular basis. So wonderful still just "flying high here in IL LOL "
Yikes pic is acting weird.
Did they bring food in????
All gone.
Both are gone now I think. Probably were not chowing down is my guess
Picture is on Momsters
hmmm nope maybe they are still there camera feed is not able to tell right now
Getting to dark now turned off cam, wow what a fantastic day this has been!!! They are prolley going to roost in a near by tree huh? Wish it was the nest ..
wax
REMEMBER
When we speak of eagles, we are going to have to be specific as to which ones we're talking about.
I didn't know if Nilla just took a pic at 5:03 of FL or WV without reading blogs above her's & quickly going to our WV cam thinking they had returned.
I am giving you all have the honor of keeping this old gal straight! Thanks.
Jo, that's a very tall order!
LOL My dear Jo the only Eagles today that has my heart pitter patterin is "OUR" eagles... and might i add thank God for Nitro cause it took my breath away. The headache is worth it..lol
The cam: Don't know how are we going to see if Spidey comes? Are we assuming that this cam is 24/7 like it was last season.
I've got a headache and I'm not on nitro!!
Jo, there is an eagle sitting on branch in FLA.
I said in an eariler post i doubted if she is around as they have been fooling with the cam is would assume up ther maybe squished her or ran her off Jo , first time i ever saw Spidy was in April
Vicky I know you can handle it!
What did you always call me - the Chief? or was it the Captain? lol
THANK YOU MITS
Now yes Jo there is a eagle in Florida cam. I just dont like the angle of that cam or do they move it?
Well I am sitting here waiting for Spidey to show up LOL. But you do make a couple of pretty good points as its pretty cold for spiders now. Shall we name her Charlette, or perhaps the late Charllette.
Oh my beaking going on in Florida
They are both in the nest in FLA., JO!!
I am looking to see if the circle of eagle angels are surrounding the nest yet. I am not sure Jim called them angels - maybe ghosts. Does anyone remember. HO HO!! Eagle Spirits!!!
I just killed a old black spider yesterday. Spidey will come!!!!!
Keep the faith!
Mema Jo, you are the best no matter what!
Nilla I made it home and I got to see both in the nest. Now the pic has been messy.
Hope we find another name for spidey. Wash. state osprey call theirs Charloette (spelling?)..
Well I don't think that lens is looking like there is any spiday home. At leasst not that I can see.
I will really be surprised if we get to see down inside that nest in Florida.
Glad you got to see them Dana i was hoping you weren't still shopping and had missed the whole thing...well ya know while it was actually happening.
Just got completely knocked off the cam page and can't get back on.
This was on the blog page from Steve when I just came back into the blog.
update: We still have some cleanup work to do on webpage text, and on our connections. The site is currently running through Denver. We will make the transition to Wheeling tomorrow.
None of us can believe that an eagle was in the nest when we finally went live.
TTUL heading out to Shepherdstown. I'll let Beth know we'll be paying her a visit soon!
Me too Mits can't get back in after it knocking me off.
Mits & Nilla
Thanks for the FL info - Isn't it great. Seems like each evening recently they have been home in the nest.
My WV cam went black. Put it down but now cannot load it... Boo Hoo
I will try later.
Dana Please Email Lynda down in FL & ask her about us being able to see eggs in the nest once they are layed and let us know what you find out...If we can't see down in that nest-We'll never be able to see the eaglets until they start branching.........
Finally for back on after numerous tries, but pic is funky.
If you NCTC eagle cam went down. Restart your computer and it will come back up. It was good for awhile now I have alot of lines. Can still see nest though.
I got the WV cam back up in the dark.
Yes, Jo they always come back to rest at night in FLA, maybe it is because they are so close to their egg time. Maybe we will see more of "ours" the closer it gets to their mating time, I hope.
Mema Jo someone on the blog was talking to Florida. It wasn't me. I would also like to know the answer to that question. Maybe whomever was emailing her from in her can do that.
My eagle cam for our eagles is in Christmas colors. Can't see through it.
Well going to fix something to eat, and take care of my dogs. Hoping to hear from you. I will start working on the Film Loop pretty soon. It does take a little time to put together so why not send yours now as you are reading this
Don't know what I'm talking about? Read BLOG from me at 1:37:15.
Such a great Day.
I think Paula is the real contact with her, but I have e-mailed her and gotten answers and would be happy to do it, will also e-mail people out in KENT with a pic and invite to join us if they so desire.
A thought.......Maybe like we did for Liberty and Belle. We could do a poll on naming "spidey".??????
I do like calling him/her "spidey" lol
Sara Spider:):):).
Those eagles in Florida are enjoying their retirement too too much lol lmbo I'M NOT RETIRING TO FLORIDA IF THAT IS WHAT RETIREMENT THERE IS ABOUT/LIKE LMBO too much like work
Ok, just jotted off a quick e-mail to FLA, probably will not hear from her til tomorrow.
I am going to say we call her IttsyBittsy
Thank you Mits for being our corresponding secretary. And especially for getting such fantastic results in the replys.
You know ItsseyBittsey spider went up the eagle tree... along came the momsters and watched her in the tree... at night she weaved her web to catch her dinner time in the breeze...the web glistening in the moon light is what we all like to see... Hope this year she returns to show us her beautiful weave....
Just e-mailed Loraine and Garry out in Washington...PAULA GAVE THEM YOUR ADDRESS, IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO JOIN US ON OUR BLOG!
Yeah, well, I just hope ittsy bittsy stays out of the cam shot:):):).

Hello, These are first photo's of the Eagles named Liberty & Belle in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. The camera has just been turned back on for the season 2007. Last year this pair sucessfully raised 3 babies. This is the new web page for access the camera and our blog page. http://www.fws.gov/nctc/cam/ This is so exciting for us. Thanks, Nilla (aka Janet)
I hope they put them up on the news site or tv i sent the very best and clear pictures i took...
They will put it up on there site but i am hoping talk about them on tv also!!!!
Let us know if you see any coverage in the Hagerstown newspaper or on CH 25.
Spidey will always be Spidey in my heart & head
Good job, Nilla.
Where is Sharon

Wax is here
Wax is here.......
Mits - your comment made me get the wax.................. Arghhhhhhhhhh.
It's up for grabs.
Oh no you don't Mema Jo NOT ME I'm not taking that stuff. I've told you all it messes up my computer. That's why I had to get this one.
I love the name "spidey" too. ( :
EAGLE SPIRITS ABOUND AT THE NEST!!! BUT NO SPIDY
They've called me "spidey" for so long
The eagles have returned the eagles have returned
You all know I will too return those eagles need me
I weave my web it's lite by the moom or stars
My web is always lite even if its cloudy; it's sack-a-delic
You have to wait it's not quit time for me
Spidey can't interfere with Liberty and Belle
They need time to fix the nest to do the do to lay the eggs
Then your famous "spidey" that's me will appear
I'll weave my web protect the nest watch the eggs
Then Mom and Dad will tell the story of "spidey"
Just like year after year the new babies hear of me
You wait You watch You'll finally see
TEE-HEE, JO:):):)
Poor Mema Jo has to go to the ear doctor to get all that wax removed.
I'm so sorry Jo.

I would like some of them...
Jason just emailed me that he has added the link on beakspeak.com for the cam up in Maine. I think we are covered now for all the cams we watch.
What ad???????????????????????????????????????
That's great, JO!!!
I need a bathroom break...BBL.
Mema Jo, did you have a little "technical difficulty" tonight sending an email link???
Yes, Vicky, I sure did. But I think I finally figured it out.. Did I send it to you? I mean the one that would open...
Yes Mema Jo, I got the "real" one finally! I enjoyed the serenade!
MITS WENT TO THE LOO
DID I GET WAX???
Thelma watch that drinkin your studderin n remember to change that depends if headin to the bathroom.... Good Lord i aint sharin my Adivan (sure i spelled it wrong) Duckinnnn lol
See Nilla, we need you in here to keep us laughing!
Jo, why so much emphasis on MITS WENT TO THE LOO???
Remember when Jo, went to the LOO and disappeared for 4 hours LOL!!!!!
Just a heads-up warning, Vicky. Once I went to the Loo and didn't return for a long time. I wanted everyone to keep an eye out for the return of Mits.
I need to ask her if she took a break to eat dinner...............
Whoops! You are fast, Mits!
Did you eat any dinner yet?
I figured I missed something there, but I catch the drift gals!
Yes, I was hungry tonight, and, did take a break for dinner, and feel better now, but am still tired from all the excitement today.
I think you did get that wax, Vicky. I donated some to you IL gals today.
I don't see any trace of Spidey. Maybe tomorrow evening. Once he knows the cam is on, he'll probably show up.
I am going to break for about an hour. Hoping for the Loop de' Loo to come up soon... BBL
Cute card Mema Jo I am wondering am I the only one who looks out my window and sees snow...Lots of snow, and its not even dirty at all "well there are few yellow stains here and there come to think of it " but other than that not warm enough to melt anything. Going down to like 5 tonight with wind chills in the teens below. Yuck!!!!

I might have to come into town & look at your windows when I hit the 4-Way stop.
