NCTC is closed today due to the snow and ice. They just now plowed my street, which has a layer of snow and then 3/4 of an inch of ice on top. I suspect that the cam transmitter is ice covered, thus the problem.
Hey, someone raised the mini blinds!! Thanks for pretending to leave, Jo, sure did the trick! Now I would volunteer to help Belle get that nest cleaned out, but I am just so tired of shoveling snow and ice! How much snow do you have, Vicky? Sounds like good news for now, Sharon, now you can relax for a while and go see Andrew wow em this weekned.
Wow change in NOrfolk can really see eggs good!!! Actually see eagle using beak to turn eggs. I think the one that left was he (being smaller they were side by side for a while). She is setting on eggs now. Wow that was neat to see.
You got me! I was looking up in the comments to see what Belle (Baker) had to say this evening.... lol Dinner if finished & dishes are done & a couple of phone calls from the kids completed.
OOOPPPSS. Sorry, just so glad to see "EAGLE BELLE", tonight. Waiting for Grey's Anatomy and ER to come on...I'm sure Paula is too. I'm fine Jo, how goes it with you??
I was looking at the CO daily pic - remembered Norma mentioning 6am shots I am wondering why she stayed in the nest last night without eggs..Maybe just to keep some snow off the nest.
False Labor:):):)....Don't know who is going to die.....but the one guy on there has been in trouble off camera, so maybe they are taking the easy way out and killing off his character.
I guess that is good enough or else tied of fooling with it. Oh no, after it again. NOW I am sure that is the male - a female would leave well enough alone! lol
Well, I guess the kids will have school tomorrow - maybe 2 hrs late.
Megan, any chance my email has reached you - I sent it to myself & it opened ok for me. I know what you mean about dial-up. I can't send half the things to Jennifer - she is on dial up also. Some things can be sent to her work pc address as her supervisor loves the eagles.
My eagle cam as of 9pm has gone down. Anyone else notice it..wish it were my pc and not the cam..maybe they are going to turn it off at night??? ... Page that comes up is ERROR 503
Do you eat peanut butter? Did you see the Peter Pan pbutter recall due to possible samonella? Just threw all mine away, every jar I had was from the recalled batch, scary, my kid eats it every day. If you send the lids in, they will send you someting, not sure if it's money or coupons for more pnut butter. Don't think I'll be buying theirs for a while.
Paula You are probably right! I just saw the commercial as I passed the TV this afternoon - They had operating garb on - Does ER come on after Greys' On My I bet Mits will be disappointed in watching Greys' I bet the first thing she says when she comes back is that nobody died!! TeeHee
Had to go out every few hours during the storm to knock the ice off, Vicky. Ran a kerosene heater the whole time, keeps it warm inside and helps melt the ice, but it was a real chore. Took me so long to get a GH of my own, wasn't about to have it collapse.
Well, my Gh needs new plastic, has 2 layers, usually blow air between them to inflate it and help keep heat in, but it is not inflated right now, so there was more worry about ice on it. Ran several box fans in there to circulate heat. Hubby says I worry too much, but he went out every time to knock ice off.
I see our still-but-refreshable cam is working again, perhaps more clearly than before. On the other hand I have not been able to connect to the video cam yet... Is that because it has not been repaired yet? Or do I have to look for something wrong with my Real Player?
When I was still at work, I saw the Santa Cruz pair working furiously at their nest, so I guess their time must be getting pretty close.
Also the pair at the Two Harbors nest have a humungous egg depression dug...or they're digging for water...which is also a sign they're getting close.
Have a great weekend, I'm heading over to AOL to see what kind of good things you have e-mailed me today.
Heads up- just saw a story on the news where the sate of Maryland is talking about raisng the price of a drivers license from $45.00 to $195.00 !!! Something to do with national ID card congress is proposing. Outrageous price hike, will try to find out more info. MTBR Night all.
Morning, suzanne! Believe it or not, the cam was working yesterday after not working since Tues nite, it went out then probably due to the thick layer of ice we got. Either the battery isn't holding a charge or it has to do with these cold temps, I don't know, apparently they don't either. The picture yesterday was perfect, but it must have gone out overnight. Wish the BW people would advise the NCTC people on what kind of cam they are using, etc. Maybe the NCTC guys should take a field trip to BW! Gotta go, trying to get to work today, school here is on 2 hr delay, wish they would have just closed today, seems like a waste of money to turn up the heat for 5 hrs. of school. our road is still a nightmare. The guy who plowed only gave us one lane in and out, seems he did about half the job, hope they pay him half the amount he was supposed to get. cars are stuck along road from pulling over to let others by, when I leave, I ain't yielding. Have a good day, and a nice long weekend.
GOOD A.M. EAGLE BUDDIES!!!---Haven't read paper or had my coffee-----but couldn't wait to see what SUZANNE had to say about our beautiful picture on our cam-------SORRY SUZANNE---It was beautiful pic yesterday---Maybe the weather has something to do with it----WE HAVE TO BE PATIENT---
Well gonna wish you all a good morning oh and Good night too. Thats for last night and also tonight LOL..just in case I don't get back in here today. Have special compnay traveling across the state to see eagles ya know. We are going to see them....lots and lots of them. except for a quick Hi and a post to make you drool well maybe, some of you will just roll your eyes but some of you will drrol, anyway..I am glad to have seen the cam yesterday and know the Whole family did weather the brunt of the storm well. They will continue to care for each other today too. Be safe and warm...will check in at some point some time over the next couple of days but really have no idea when.
Suzanne So gla dyou liked your stuff. Think it has all arrived at its given destinations by now.
LOLIts Glo and Vicky who will be out looking for those eagles today, once she gets here. Should be driving an dhopefully nearing half way by now ...I want to leave to go see the eagles!!!!
Anway foreast is for 1 to 3 inches of snow later this afternoon and wind chills 16 below all day. I wonderf if she will even notice once I let her out of the car. I amay have to drag her back in...Ok gonna eat breakfast here and make a quick trip to the store we will need more comfort food to deal with the weather as we travel up and down the river. she wants to see the eagles...we will see the eagles no matter what. All is well. Have a great day. Hoping you see a nice picture from the cam soon...hopefully it is just thawing out again or someone will be into NCTC to het that reset if that is today's problem.
Suzanne drs are trying to figure out whose the one to care for them there legs of mine. I let them fight it out and see what the answer is. For now 1/2pill thankfull that helps alittle.
Ok cams sorry not fully on blog yet. Setting up cams. So far Maine has snow in it. Didn't yesterday. NE has snow in it. It did yesterday (Mits dead birdie gone). Co has an eagle eating in its nest no snow there.
Tai the prince is up an icy tree eeekss.
BW Osprey has new gallery pics Lisa put on there. Congrtrs on those that sent pics in and ty neat shots.
SUZANNE----I never go back to bed----maybe nap in afternoon---I was lingering over coffee & paper----The note from STEVEN was posted Wed.---before our cam came on yesterday afternoon----GREAT SURPRISE!!-----We were all 'HAPPY CAMPERS'---
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE In addition to seeking help from BW, they really should talk to the people up in GORHAM, MAINE, who had BLIZZARD CONDITIONS, with 8 to 14 inches of snow and ice and their cam, like TIMEX, took a licking and kept on ticking. I'm sure these 2 others places have seen our cam, maybe they can help with some suggestions.JMHO.
HI DANA---Have you taken your dog out yet??? ho!----I see TAI way up in the tree-----I bet he misses MEI too---but he seems to be adapting to it-----Forecasting more snow for us tomorrow!!
SUZANNE---ZOO is separating TAI & MEI at night----MEI is in with TAI'S Dad at night---MITS says he is adapting to it---& it's a good thing----I still think of him as a BABY CUB---ho!---
OH SUZANNE---DO I know how to go back to bed---WOW!---I REALLY KNOW HOW TO DO THAT!!!----When I was working---Get up early Sat.---fly around house, picking up, etc.---all the time knowing the faster I finished chores---faster I could hit the hay!!---No guilt that way!!
Only cam I can't get is SC I put the url in windows media player but I don't know what I am doing wrong.
I still feel badly for Tai...he needs a play mate to tumble and run with.
No Norma Ed let the doggies out. Clear path for them. But they walk onto on snow with ice on it. Their feeties freeze. I don't like that!! :( So we try to get them in ASAP.
Mits thanks again for writing the cams you do. The infomation you get is so great to share with us (thank you very much) ( :
FUNNY MITTS----TIMEX joke---Do you realize there is a whole generation that doesn't understand that joke---I DID---LIKE IT!---Those folks in ME are sturdy people---guess the EAGLES are too!!
"It keeps on ticken and takes a licken"..... Norma I understood........does that mean I'm old....who knows...maybe we're just "smart" ho as you say lol
Hope Megan makes it back down the lane to home ok.
SHARON---When do you go to Morgantown----today or tomorrow---ENJOY & have a safe trip----If still here---check the (still) pic of BUTA in the update---Getting into the tub---all you can see are these tiny black legs---BEAUTIFUL!
Suz, Zoo was closed on Wed and part of Thursday, they were supposed to open noon yesterday, but don't know if they did. Our mandatory meeting was postponed til Monday. Mai and Tai are separated during the night, my sister saw him nurse this a.m. Mei and Tian are NOT together at night, have not heard anymore news about them getting together during the day. Mei should be coming into estrus sometime in March. They are checking her hormones every Wednesday a.m. I think they have a chart somewhere on their site, so you can follow her hormone level.
I see the cam is down....looks like the pic from the other night, if you ask me.
BW is NOT a government cam. Although the refuge is government...the Friends of Blackwater is a non-profit organization that runs the osprey and eagle cam, plus the visitor center bookshop, eagle days, open house, etc etc. I agree, NCTC should be talking to other folks whose cams seem to have no problem staying up. Just my 2 cents worth.
Suzanne, Mei and Tian were put together for the 1st time since the birth of Tai, back in January, Mei let it be known, that it was nice to see him, but was not ready for anything else, she smacked him, knocked him to the floor and he went running, but they are still friends, meanwhile Tai was outside and ran up the tree whan he heard his Mom, which is what he would do in the wild, when he sensed something going on, but Tai will be fine, and the zoo has enough roo for the pandas, even if we were allowed to keep Tai.
I'm waitng for Mr. Sun to clear my driveway and walkway, or Mr. Kalis, whoever comes first. Norma, he is coming home tonight, but leaving again Sunday night, back down to Atlanta.
Oh, Paula, you got that right. I missed my golden opportunity, by not getting out 1st thing in the a.m. Fortunately, I do live on the "sunny side of the street", and Mr. Sun does a great job, but in the back getting to the birdfeeders is tricky business.
Good Morning everyone I was checking cams before saying hello - That MP3 file Lisa put on her Nest Update is way toooooooo cool to your ears. Don't know what she will think of next for us to enjoy. Did not take time yet to look at updated photo gallery. I best read your am comments to see what is going on. All I know is that Our eagle is in Our nest & I pray the sun shines on that nest all day long!
Hi Jo and anyone else that came in. I was helping Ed. Guy with farm tractor came in. Ed went out getting him to do ours. Guy knows he can't or I lift snow. He is going to do driveway and help Ed with cars. I couldn't come back in, I just had to stand there and pray for Ed cause man wanting to help. He lifted 2 small shovels full and out of breath.
He is ok...I can be back now...ask him to check with my neighbor to see if she wants man to do hers; she does. She is alone...grandson comes there doesn't do anything for her.
LOL..Suz, good thing George is fast, they are a beautiful pair of eagles, and, am soooo excited to see the new cam. They like Maine, seem to have no problems working around the eagles when they are there.
Dana Sometimes a man just thinks he can do things & has to try them until he admits it too much. . I am thankful that plow came over just at the Right time.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 431 Newer› Newest»Mema Jo, I love that song. Seeing our nest so grand and clear makes my heart sing. I am so happy.
Turning eggs
BEAUTIFUL SHARON----That's GREAT---WOW!!---Will pray you get better---day by day-----
"Snow Belle's" in Frederick are very special ladies!!!
Right, Mema Jo?
(And thanks for that fake out, Jo!)
Great song-----JO!!!!
Hey, someone raised the mini blinds!! Thanks for pretending to leave, Jo, sure did the trick! Now I would volunteer to help Belle get that nest cleaned out, but I am just so tired of shoveling snow and ice! How much snow do you have, Vicky? Sounds like good news for now, Sharon, now you can relax for a while and go see Andrew wow em this weekned.
I should feel very humble:
Thanks Steve & staff for all the hard work you have had to do on our cam so we have the enjoyment of seeing our Eagle family.
Thanks Paula for already having the words to the song typed on Eaglet_Momster site!
Thank you Lord for answering all our prayers and for letting me have the good fortune of being able to turn on our eagle cam
And Thanks for pretending to leave, Jo:):):) It worked like a charm:).
Mits took the words right out of my mouth ty Mits
I wish they would clean up an area in Buta Buta's place.
SHARON---BUTA BUTA is trying to get in where LUN LUN "dumped"---LUN LUN attempting to hold her back!!
It must be me...everytime I go to FLA, eagle is sitting on the ledge and takes off.
Oh I hope that didn't hurt. Tai took off riding on top the ice. Started sliding right into the rocks. Hope he is ok.
ZOO was closed this a.m., they were hopin to open by noon, still deicing the walkways.
Eagles just flew into Maine Both
One left and one is eating at Maine
Belle looks like she is looking for Liberty.
I just realized the one in Maine is pulling feathers off something. Cause feathers are flying with the wind.
If that is Tai on cam 2 he doesn't look very happy not having Mei to play with.
2 eagles in Maine
Buta Buta asleep
Belle looking around
eagles are sharing a meal at MAINE.
Mits do you think Tai is lonely without Mei to play with as much?
No Dana, not really, Giant Pandas, are a solitary species. As long as he gets his needs met, he will be just fine.
Mits can you hear the dogs barking in the background. Somewhere in Maine???? Sometimes I hear them.
Thanks about answering about Tai Mits.
Yes, Dana, I can, and I heard human voices under the tree yesterday a.m. before the storm really took hold...think they were there checking on things.
EAGLE still in ME---That must be a strong nest--the way the wind was blowing last night----KENT cam 2 is still down---
Eagle in nest in Florida
I e-mailed Loraine about it this a.m., Norma. Haven't heard back, but they might be getting ready to put cam #3 up.
Also, got an e-mail from LYNDA, this a.m.. She said my guess was as good as hers about what the eagles in FLA are up to.
Any news about FL EAGLES?---She hasn't updated since 1/21/07?---
Work with me, NORMABYRD...actually last update was 1/31/07.
MITS---YOU ARE GOOD!----YOU ANSWERED MY QUESTION BEFORE I FINISHED ASKING---
that was a typo!
What is that in NE's nest?
BOTH EAGLES IN VA..........
BOOYAH, excellent switch by VA eagles..
No idea Mits on what it is. I do know it's not alive. Stick with something on it. ah Don't know??????
A blackbird is in the nest at NE went over to it then flew away Mits.
Our 3 eggs can be seen
Mits I would venture to say that is a dead bird maybe in the NE nest.
Do you have sound on Maine site??
That's what I thought,Dana, and, yes I HAVE SOUND ON MAINE.
Belle is resting her head on the snow.
Turning eggs in our nest
Temperature here is dropping. Suppose to be around 9 tonight; with wind it will be less than that.
She or he at our nest is really trying to get the breast area down deep into nest to keep eggs warm.
Wow change in NOrfolk can really see eggs good!!! Actually see eagle using beak to turn eggs. I think the one that left was he (being smaller they were side by side for a while). She is setting on eggs now. Wow that was neat to see.
I saw it when Dad came in to give her a break...really up close and personal.
Ok Ok I'm not going to say it; so I'll just say "I'm so happy happy our still cam is up ty ty ty ( : ".
CAM #2 is back up at KENT.
Both are in our nest
Liberty and Belle there and can see eggs
Isn't that beautiful.....both in nest - sure can tell who is who & also see the eggs
Belle is now on the eggs - right Dana?
Belle just took over for Liberty; Belle is on the eggs
Liberty has flown off...
They say that the lady bird usually get the night duty of nesting...lol
I put these pics in the Momster album..yes it is Belle there now. ((((hugs to Liberty and Belle)))
dinner bbl
BOTH EAGLES AT KENT NEST TOO.
Mits When you get a chance look at DC cam 2 - Tell me who is in the close up ....
Cam 2 is Tai-Shan.
He is up in his favorite corner.
Belle's butt is hanging out of the hole:).
Close up on cam 1 is Mei Xiang.
Star & Spirit in Kent look great.
Yep! Belle is in a cold position!
They do look good, must be windy there today, got several pics, where you can see their skin under the blowing feathers.
Back
Thanks glad I got to see one of the Kent eagles at nest.
Your back too Jo
HI KIDS---Have been on phone--read Jo's mention of STAR & SPIRIT---Checked 1 EAGLE---That's great---I know you all saw two---
Getting dark at Norfolk
Kent eagle is that the male or female?
Dinner time for me now, Dana
BBL
MITS---I think DC ZOO is to going to have to paint names on the Pandas' back--ho!
Need Coffee---haven't read my papers----LATER!!
Norma I can't tell them apart either.
Temperature dropping about 16 now of course with wind colder than that. Suppose to get down to 9 without the wind chill factor.
Turning eggs.
Hello Belle, nice to see you this evening:).
Matter of fact, nice to see you anytime.
You got me! I was looking up in the comments to see what Belle (Baker) had to say this evening.... lol
Dinner if finished & dishes are done & a couple of phone calls from the kids completed.
Glad to see you here, Mits. How have you been?
OOOPPPSS. Sorry, just so glad to see "EAGLE BELLE", tonight. Waiting for Grey's Anatomy and ER to come on...I'm sure Paula is too. I'm fine Jo, how goes it with you??
EAGLE AT WE AND SC...NORMA, here is your chance to see the Eagle at SC.
EGG turning at our nest.
EAGLE # 2 JUST FLEW IN TO SC.
I'm great! Love my short hair cut.
Question: Who is going to die tonight in Grey's........?
I was looking at the CO daily pic - remembered Norma mentioning 6am shots
I am wondering why she stayed in the nest last night without eggs..Maybe just to keep some snow off the nest.
Going to look at SC ..
False Labor:):):)....Don't know who is going to die.....but the one guy on there has been in trouble off camera, so maybe they are taking the easy way out and killing off his character.
that nest at SC looks like a crown of thorns...
Belle is sleeping.
SC: They best watch out - A32 might just land on them. Sticks aren't cooperating, are they?
Little bit of trouble there, trying to bend the sticks.
Did you see that...He bit her on her tail feathers! Ha Ha
They have been a little testy with each other.
I guess that is good enough or else tied of fooling with it. Oh no, after it again. NOW I am sure that is the male - a female would leave well enough alone! lol
Paula loves SC - I wish she would be making a video of this.......
She might be....Jo, you have mail.
Ok, eagles lets be nice...no pecking.
Helloooo ladies!
HELLOOOOO MEGAN:).
Mits, My Beautiful America was exceptionally beautiful. Thanx.
LMBO....She is on the branch that he wants gone...
Whoo Hoo
Wax Time
I couldn't open it:(
Loved the eagle on the 1st page.
Whoo Hoo <:(
It wasn't me
Now I have to go look at see
It was Mits!
WHOA! Ho!
Mits You're stuck with 300 lbs of wax & your walkway is already slick!
it was me:).
My upper lip could use some....
Megan you really would have loved that video Mits sent.... I'll send the actual url that was on Maybe that will work.
darn, Megan, sorry, don't know why we can open, some things and not others.
Well, that has been 45 minutes of pure entertainment watching those two bicker.
Me either, some stuff opens for me, some files are so big it takes forever. When I tried to open that, it just wasn't there.
Thanks, Jo, you know me..RSD.
Off to watch Grey's, will check in during commercials......Belle still sleeping.
Well, I guess the kids will have school tomorrow - maybe 2 hrs late.
Megan, any chance my email has reached you - I sent it to myself & it opened ok for me. I know what you mean about dial-up. I can't send half the things to Jennifer - she is on dial up also. Some things can be sent to her work pc address as her supervisor loves the eagles.
Thanks, Jo that is cool!
Montgomery County is closed again tomorrow. Yikes Grey's is going to be good....missed it last week.
Washington County has already announced 2 hr. delay, might change to closed in the am, never know.
My eagle cam as of 9pm has gone down. Anyone else notice it..wish it were my pc and not the cam..maybe they are going to turn it off at night??? ...
Page that comes up is ERROR 503
I pray it comes up for me in the am
My prayers were heard!!
My cam is working
I think I did something and that it
wasn't the cam itself.........
Now I am happy again. I can see
Belle.
Hellooooooo gals!
Isn't that the most beautiful eagle you ever did see???
Do you eat peanut butter? Did you see the Peter Pan pbutter recall due to possible samonella? Just threw all mine away, every jar I had was from the recalled batch, scary, my kid eats it every day. If you send the lids in, they will send you someting, not sure if it's money or coupons for more pnut butter. Don't think I'll be buying theirs for a while.
Howdy Vicky! How much snow do you have?
Isn't it who is going to die on ER?
And yes I was watching SC...but can't record too well from home...DSL gets hung up....kind of a pia, if you know what I mean. :(
She just moved...now facing 3 oclock position
Just moved again...guess trying to get comfy
Oh Floralgirl, we have LOTS of snow, probably 13 inches, and lots of drifts!
Wow, Vicky, we only have a few inches of snow, coated with a really thick layer of ice on top. So slippery outside here.
Paula You are probably right! I just saw the commercial as I passed the TV this afternoon - They had operating garb on - Does ER come on after Greys' On My I bet Mits will be disappointed in watching Greys' I bet the first thing she says when she comes back is that
nobody died!! TeeHee
How would you care to have 100+ inches - My granddaughter in NY has stopped counting...........
Well we didn't get the ice for which I am thankful!
Megan, are you keeping the GH cleaned off??
No thank you, JO!!
Snack time for Jo BRB
Had to go out every few hours during the storm to knock the ice off, Vicky. Ran a kerosene heater the whole time, keeps it warm inside and helps melt the ice, but it was a real chore. Took me so long to get a GH of my own, wasn't about to have it collapse.
I was thinking about you Megan! A lot of help that was though!
Nope, it is Grey's too. But they can't let her die!
Megan, was there anyway to attach a blower onto the heater to distribute the heat?
Oops! Paula -
SURPRISE I'M ALIVE
They cannot end the show like that!
But I might be dead
You're right Paula - No way to end a show!
BBL Holler if you need me.
Playing some games
Forgot I had Deal or No Deal
Well, my Gh needs new plastic, has 2 layers, usually blow air between them to inflate it and help keep heat in, but it is not inflated right now, so there was more worry about ice on it. Ran several box fans in there to circulate heat. Hubby says I worry too much, but he went out every time to knock ice off.
Floral,
That's too big of an investment not to worry.
Good evening, everybody in Eagle Land...hope you are getting ready for the long weekend.
I see our still-but-refreshable cam is working again, perhaps more clearly than before. On the other hand I have not been able to connect to the video cam yet... Is that because it has not been repaired yet? Or do I have to look for something wrong with my Real Player?
When I was still at work, I saw the Santa Cruz pair working furiously at their nest, so I guess their time must be getting pretty close.
Also the pair at the Two Harbors nest have a humungous egg depression dug...or they're digging for water...which is also a sign they're getting close.
Have a great weekend, I'm heading over to AOL to see what kind of good things you have e-mailed me today.
Jim
TEE-HEE....THEY CAN'T LET THE NAMESAKE OF THE SHOW DIE...Febuary ratings...she'll be fine next week
Heads up- just saw a story on the news where the sate of Maryland is talking about raisng the price of a drivers license from $45.00 to $195.00 !!! Something to do with national ID card congress is proposing. Outrageous price hike, will try to find out more info. MTBR Night all.
Turning the eggs,,,just saw all 3
WOW, Megan that sounds like "HIGHWAY ROBBERY", TEE-HEE:).
Good Night Megan Mits & Paula
Time to call it a day...
Good Night Belle & Liberty..
Hey There Suzanne - Did you get your home pc hooked up anytime during the last 2 day? lol
Dana ,
Thanks for putting the pics in the momsters album...there are some great pics in there. If you haven't checked them out...you should!
Good night, Jo....Megan, read about the PB..that's why choosy Moms choose JIF!
guess everyone has gone to bed, so,GOODNIGHT EVERYONE!
Suzanne....want a report that you are up and ready at home...no excuses:):).
Morning, suzanne! Believe it or not, the cam was working yesterday after not working since Tues nite, it went out then probably due to the thick layer of ice we got. Either the battery isn't holding a charge or it has to do with these cold temps, I don't know, apparently they don't either. The picture yesterday was perfect, but it must have gone out overnight. Wish the BW people would advise the NCTC people on what kind of cam they are using, etc. Maybe the NCTC guys should take a field trip to BW! Gotta go, trying to get to work today, school here is on 2 hr delay, wish they would have just closed today, seems like a waste of money to turn up the heat for 5 hrs. of school. our road is still a nightmare. The guy who plowed only gave us one lane in and out, seems he did about half the job, hope they pay him half the amount he was supposed to get. cars are stuck along road from pulling over to let others by, when I leave, I ain't yielding. Have a good day, and a nice long weekend.
GOOD A.M. EAGLE BUDDIES!!!---Haven't read paper or had my coffee-----but couldn't wait to see what SUZANNE had to say about our beautiful picture on our cam-------SORRY SUZANNE---It was beautiful pic yesterday---Maybe the weather has something to do with it----WE HAVE TO BE PATIENT---
FLORALGIRL----Take it easy on those roads----No school here today & Mon. is a holiday---No school since Mon.----DRIVE SLOW!!
Well gonna wish you all a good morning oh and Good night too. Thats for last night and also tonight LOL..just in case I don't get back in here today.

Good Morning to all that are here on this cold windy day.
Hi Suzanne sounds like the roads were not very good. Surprised you made the trek in.
LOLIts Glo and Vicky who will be out looking for those eagles today, once she gets here. Should be driving an dhopefully nearing half way by now ...I want to leave to go see the eagles!!!!
Anway foreast is for 1 to 3 inches of snow later this afternoon and wind chills 16 below all day. I wonderf if she will even notice once I let her out of the car. I amay have to drag her back in...Ok gonna eat breakfast here and make a quick trip to the store we will need more comfort food to deal with the weather as we travel up and down the river. she wants to see the eagles...we will see the eagles no matter what. All is well. Have a great day. Hoping you see a nice picture from the cam soon...hopefully it is just thawing out again or someone will be into NCTC to het that reset if that is today's problem.
Suzanne drs are trying to figure out whose the one to care for them there legs of mine. I let them fight it out and see what the answer is. For now 1/2pill thankfull that helps alittle.

SUZANNE----I never go back to bed----maybe nap in afternoon---I was lingering over coffee & paper----The note from STEVEN was posted Wed.---before our cam came on yesterday afternoon----GREAT SURPRISE!!-----We were all 'HAPPY CAMPERS'---
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE In addition to seeking help from BW, they really should talk to the people up in GORHAM, MAINE, who had BLIZZARD CONDITIONS, with 8 to 14 inches of snow and ice and their cam, like TIMEX, took a licking and kept on ticking. I'm sure these 2 others places have seen our cam, maybe they can help with some suggestions.JMHO.
HI DANA---Have you taken your dog out yet??? ho!----I see TAI way up in the tree-----I bet he misses MEI too---but he seems to be adapting to it-----Forecasting more snow for us tomorrow!!
NORFOLK EAGLE is turned with her back to us----Great pic!
SUZANNE---ZOO is separating TAI & MEI at night----MEI is in with TAI'S Dad at night---MITS says he is adapting to it---& it's a good thing----I still think of him as a BABY CUB---ho!---
OH SUZANNE---DO I know how to go back to bed---WOW!---I REALLY KNOW HOW TO DO THAT!!!----When I was working---Get up early Sat.---fly around house, picking up, etc.---all the time knowing the faster I finished chores---faster I could hit the hay!!---No guilt that way!!
HELLO MITS----Didn't know you were on---You can answer SUZANNE'S question much better than I did---Does your husband come back today?
Hi Norma, Mits, Glo and Suzanne....
Only cam I can't get is SC I put the url in windows media player but I don't know what I am doing wrong.
I still feel badly for Tai...he needs a play mate to tumble and run with.
No Norma Ed let the doggies out. Clear path for them. But they walk onto on snow with ice on it. Their feeties freeze. I don't like that!! :( So we try to get them in ASAP.
Mits thanks again for writing the cams you do. The infomation you get is so great to share with us (thank you very much) ( :
Forgot.......Glo tell Vicky I said Hi ( : please you gals have fun...
FUNNY MITTS----TIMEX joke---Do you realize there is a whole generation that doesn't understand that joke---I DID---LIKE IT!---Those folks in ME are sturdy people---guess the EAGLES are too!!
"It keeps on ticken and takes a licken"..... Norma I understood........does that mean I'm old....who knows...maybe we're just "smart" ho as you say lol
Hope Megan makes it back down the lane to home ok.
DANA----Doesn't mean we are old--just means we grew up in a "FUN GENERATION"!
KENT---When I looked at it---I felt there were all these "eyes" peering back from behind the trees!
Maybe I do need to go back to bed!!
BW--2 EAGLES---(1 is standing)
SHARON---When do you go to Morgantown----today or tomorrow---ENJOY & have a safe trip----If still here---check the (still) pic of BUTA in the update---Getting into the tub---all you can see are these tiny black legs---BEAUTIFUL!
you can see BW eagles 2 eggs
Suz, Zoo was closed on Wed and part of Thursday, they were supposed to open noon yesterday, but don't know if they did. Our mandatory meeting was postponed til Monday. Mai and Tai are separated during the night, my sister saw him nurse this a.m. Mei and Tian are NOT together at night, have not heard anymore news about them getting together during the day. Mei should be coming into estrus sometime in March. They are checking her hormones every Wednesday a.m. I think they have a chart somewhere on their site, so you can follow her hormone level.
I see the cam is down....looks like the pic from the other night, if you ask me.
BW is NOT a government cam. Although the refuge is government...the Friends of Blackwater is a non-profit organization that runs the osprey and eagle cam, plus the visitor center bookshop, eagle days, open house, etc etc. I agree, NCTC should be talking to other folks whose cams seem to have no problem staying up. Just my 2 cents worth.
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. The cam is up....ice must've melted again.....we can only speculate since we haven't received an update in days....
Suzanne, Mei and Tian were put together for the 1st time since the birth of Tai, back in January, Mei let it be known, that it was nice to see him, but was not ready for anything else, she smacked him, knocked him to the floor and he went running, but they are still friends, meanwhile Tai was outside and ran up the tree whan he heard his Mom, which is what he would do in the wild, when he sensed something going on, but Tai will be fine, and the zoo has enough roo for the pandas, even if we were allowed to keep Tai.
Paula, I'll take your 2 cents worth, 100% agree:).
Looks like Lib, maybe? No butt sticking out over the snow...
love that Lisa put the sound of the eagles calling on the osprey cam, sound like Maine.
Paula, you have the magic touch this a.m., ask for a new thread:).
I'm waitng for Mr. Sun to clear my driveway and walkway, or Mr. Kalis, whoever comes first. Norma, he is coming home tonight, but leaving again Sunday night, back down to Atlanta.
Mits, You usually have the best luck with that...but here goes....I'm sure Steven will bless us with a new thread today!
Mr Shovel and I cleared mine....and if you didn't do it that first morning...forget it! Like a block of ice out there now....so, good luck MR Mits!
Take a look at SC....MT nest, but the most gorgeous colors...like fall.
Oh, Paula, you got that right. I missed my golden opportunity, by not getting out 1st thing in the a.m. Fortunately, I do live on the "sunny side of the street", and Mr. Sun does a great job, but in the back getting to the birdfeeders is tricky business.
BW Osprey nest
1 eagle & some updates from Lisa
George is at KENT:).
oHOH...eAGLE AT kent.
knew the other one was coming both are at KENT.
Good Morning everyone
I was checking cams before saying hello - That MP3 file Lisa put on her Nest Update is way toooooooo cool to your ears. Don't know what she will think of next for us to enjoy. Did not take time yet to look at updated photo gallery.
I best read your am comments to see what is going on.
All I know is that Our eagle is in Our nest & I pray the sun shines on that nest all day long!
Hi Jo and anyone else that came in. I was helping Ed. Guy with farm tractor came in. Ed went out getting him to do ours. Guy knows he can't or I lift snow. He is going to do driveway and help Ed with cars. I couldn't come back in, I just had to stand there and pray for Ed cause man wanting to help. He lifted 2 small shovels full and out of breath.
He is ok...I can be back now...ask him to check with my neighbor to see if she wants man to do hers; she does. She is alone...grandson comes there doesn't do anything for her.
LOL..Suz, good thing George is fast, they are a beautiful pair of eagles, and, am soooo excited to see the new cam. They like Maine, seem to have no problems working around the eagles when they are there.
VA cam zoomed in a bit too close.
Dana Sometimes a man just thinks he can do things & has to try them until he admits it too much. . I am thankful that plow came over just at the Right time.
2 EAGLES AT NE...
Good morning, eagle world. Really grateful to see our cam back up. Wish we could get a new thread. I know, never happy!
Hello..Sharon, Paula is working on that:).
I dunno, looks sorta like Belle in the nest.
