Thanks Steve! And what beautiful rain it was! I hope we get more! Happy Eagle Day to one and all.
Good Sunday Morning
Yes, we finally had an inch of rain here...was glad to see it...but we do need more!
GOOD SINDAY MORNING EVERYONE No rain here yet, haven't looked at report for here yet. Did know Queen's Annes County is under a flood warning, so it must be coming.....nice to see you Sunny....Robyn, I am so enjoying your adventures with Tori. Off for Coffee...BBL What's up for you today, Paula??
Good Wet-Sunny Sunday Morning I love it when I have some puddles out on the deck furniture from the rain.
Robyn, it's good that your trip is going as planned! You must have very good navigators riding with you!
Sunny, Paula & Steve - enjoy your day!
Hi Mits You got right in before me! Coffee on the balcony sounds terrific
I was gonna have my coffee outside, but the furniture is wet! That's OK!!
Today is usual laundry day...then have lots of paperwork to get caught up on...then going dancing tonight!
Going dancing tonight sounds like a real winner! You go girl!
Ok, sounds good, have fun, maybe you will be dancing in the rain.
My sister, "the Reader" has just called from Cooperstown, N.Y. they are there to see Cal Ripken inducted into the Hall of Fame. Says they are there with about a 100,000 of her closest friends, says buses are still rolling in, but they are having a good time. Hubby and I were supposed to be on this trip, but then he had a conflict with work and our friends from Arizona are coming in today, and down to the beach on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Jim advised me of a video clip on the Puleston site and it is Fantastic.

I can dance in the rain, LOL.
Yes, and we want pictures, Paula:).
watching storm past right to the west of us...no rain again.
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE...
Wasn't that clip of the Ospreys interacting like live birds a great insight into what's really going on behind all those still shots we've been getting?! And the vocalizations too! Hope you enjoyed it.
Have a great day.
Jim

Norma, can't get Hagerstown here, and don't have digital cable at the beach so I can't get ESPN Classic where it is be televised, my best chance to see it is on the replay on Baltimore channel 13, after the Orioles game.
High In the Sky...Above the land of the Red White and Blue...The American Symbol Of Freedom flys....With powerful wings outstretched... gliding on the cool crisp air from above....Landing in the nest in an Ole Sycamore tree.... Perched so beautifully for all the Momsters to see....Liberty & Belle setting in the nest they call home...With hopes and prayers for a family next year....The Two set and wait for the time to mate....Sharing the duties of raising a family... Eaglets who will someday be flying high over rivers and valley's below... Majestic and proud... All us Momsters can say as we watch them grow... You baby eaglets have the best parents we know..... Nilla....I am feeling artistic today..lol bought a box of crayons.. Oh my childhood regression????? LOL Have agreat beautiful Sunday!!!!
Hey Norma wow Cal he is yummie those beautiful blue eyes.. wink.. I have some of his old baseball cards (rooky) and hanging on to them... But i must say the statue of him down there i think in Aberdeen, Md is so God awful ugly...Guess i should check some cams... BBL
Hello all you happy people.
Norma, I am soooooo sorry I didn't get to watch Tai do all of that. But you gave such an descriptive overview that in my mind and with seeing some of those things in his past - I vividly saw exactly what you saw!
I am having a problem getting my WildWatch cams up. Could just be my modem....... I'll keep trying.
Guess I'll have to check out the grizzlys!
Yes, Norma, great description, and yes, some times he does get stung by bees.
Well Norma i can say thet swollows could be called "A Pain In The Patooty" they build under the porch outside here at work chase and attack people and crap on the cars...lol But i love watching them as they build the length of the plaza porch here...
I remember Tai's very 1st bee sting!
I'm not sure he ever got anymore..And I remember his run in with the electric fence. I sure cherish all my memories of our LITTLE PRINCE!
Jo i remember both well also... Poor baby licked n licked his boo booz.... I think i mentioned before my daughter bought me the video of him and it shows the nights he would not go in.. I know you remember that we all stayed up watching for that lil booger to come down... To sad Mei is not pregnant i still say they should have let Tian have more goes at it he sure was trying alot, and she would swat him...
If you haven't visited the NCTC website lately, it has been redone and looks great. I found this info on the site, so mark your calenders!
Upcoming Speakers and Events
NCTC Open House
Saturday, October 20, 2007 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm
Yepper! His late tree nights were something else. We used to feel badly for the trainers trying to get him to come down. Then Mits would usually hear the door and then we would see him running into his den!
Then we all went to bed! Oh how you can attach yourself to one of nature's big furry creatures...
YIPPEE! I saw the new page with our eagle picture saying the cam had been discontinued for the season. NO BLUE SCREEN WOW!
Oct is closer then expected! Another get together!! So glad you saw that Paula Something to look foward to again. Just might get to see the largest owl ever -Momma!
Megan tell your daughter that we all hope Momma the owl returns!! I know she loved her eyes.
I need to do some things. Enjoy your dancing tonight, Paula. I'll return soon..........
Fellow Momsters,
I have just finished the mid-year accounting of eagletmomsters.com merchandise. I am proud to announce that I will be sending a check to the Friends Group of NCTC in the amount of $294.91. This brings the total donations raised through the website to $750.20 since inception.
I would like to thank each and everyone one of you that has contributed to this effort by purchasing the eagle items. I plan on continuing to sell the items at the Shepherdstown Farmers Market, plus I have been invited to two other fall festivals. Also, I would hope to be at the NCTC Open House on Saturday October 20th.
Once again, thank you, eaglet_momsters!
Oh thats wonderful Paula now i just figured for $5.09 we can send a whooppin $300.00 even.. so send me your name address info and i will send you a check for that amount... deal!!!!
Comin at ya, Nilla. Thank You!
Hi, checking cams as I close them.
Kent is feeding both jeveniles something other than fish.
Glimpsed swallow chicks...Mom is in and out.
Jim
Storms have been all around us today, think we are finally going to get one of them. This is a first for me here, been watching an osprey fly back and forth and now has been joined by a second one, and is circling right in front of the condo, flew by with a fish in its talons about 45 minutes ago. Have seen them on Assawoman Bay, but not directly over ocean....Going to shut down and see if storm comes thru, sounds pretty close and strong.
Battin Down The Hatches Mits... we had bad storms all night long and alot of rain the grass has really perked up... Ok Paula checks made out and in envelope ready to be sent out... I do hope that the group informs us of what the money helps purchase for NCTC that would be nice to know...
Nilla - I sent out an email some time ago about that...I'll try to find it for you later....
Heading out - have a good evening!
It's raining, it's pouring.....
As usual storm blew right past us, got a little 15 minute shower. Did batting down the hatches, but nothing, will keep everything bungeed just in case something does eventually comes this way.
Good Evening all eagle watchers out there! You all have had a busy day from what I have read.
FLORALGIRL Megan, Soooo glad to hear that you finally got tome good rain. Your dancying must have helped. Get ready for more as Paula is out dancing someplace tonight. Maybe she will stick a little dance for rain in there someplace. :)
It sounds like Oct. 10 is another important date to look forward to. Open house at NCTC. Excitement, excitement.
MITS It has looked like we were going to get a good one later this afternoo and this evening, but I think it went north and south of us. We might get it yet tho. So glad to hear that Megan finally got some.
Isn't it fun to watch storms coming at the beach. I love it; seeing where it is raining and not raining and the different lightning all around. I just don't like it when it strikes the houses, which is does a lot of down here, if it is a good one.
JIM Thanks for the osprey video. I hae a nest right in front of my house and different places around my house. The electric co. put poles with landings and roosts on them, when people started building in here and cutting their trees with nests down. Usually you wake up with their screeching and good to bed with their screeching. It seems so very quiet when they start migrating from here about mid August. Then the sea gulls come back once the ospreys are gone.
Sister calling. Have to go.
Sleep tight, peace and love to all.
MEGAN----HAPPY FOR YOUR RAIN!----WE HAD LOTS OF RAIN TOO!!---KEEP DANCING--IT WORKS! ho!---JUST CLICK YOUR RUBY SLIPPERS & BELIEVE!!
Dinner time!!
Not too much action tonight...although you can see swallow chicks more distinctly now, and the Grizzlies are moving in for the evening fishing at McNeil Falls...
I'm going to say GOOD NIGHT now.
Jim
Back for a few...
Kent Kids are home
Guess my eagle fix for the evening had to be the Kent Kids. Tomorrow is another day. Going to hang it up!
Good night everyone
Peace to you and yours
Prayers being said for all
Good Monday morning Suzanne & all you early birds and
Happy Birthday, Vicky
Right behind you, Jo, GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS--
Hope you all had a good weekend and have an even better week.
Prayers......
Glad the rain dance did something! :) Had a great time, I went out to dance and dance I did. Til my feet hurt! Hope everyone had a nice evening...see you tomorrow!
P.S. Sorry folks, no pictures :)
Darn, Paula, we were waiting...Good news, the NCTC open house does not coincide with the colleges' open house.
Good morning, eagle world. Nice night out, big bright moon when you can see it. It's shining up north, but lots of HEAVY fog from Point of Rocks to this side of Leesburg. I'm talking 30 mph fog! Heavy. 67 at home, 75 here, and looks like they got a lot of rain here, lots of puddles. I got some too this weekend, but not very much. Think I got Wanda's 17 drops on Sat, and a bit more than that on Sunday. Thundering like mad last night, but all noise, no rain. Bummer. But at least we got some.
Big fire at home, could see the smoke and light in the sky, and tons of fire trucks. Sure hope nobody was hurt, and hope it wasn't a barn and no animals got hurt! And don't know what was going on down here, but lots of Sheriff and unmarked cars were driving very fast on the 25 mph area of Rt 7. No sirens, but lights on some, not all. Turned off on the left almost at Rt 50 in Falls Church. Man, all kinds of excitement this AM.
Ok, hope all have a good day. Will try to look back on blogs and see what I missed.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Just want to say
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR VICKY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
AND MANY MORE....
Happy Birthday, JustVicky, hope you have a wonderful day!!!
I have good news! (Well, for some, some may not think so.)
I got emails this morning from both PETA and Humane Society of the United States. "Nike has suspended Michael Vick's contract without pay, and will not sell any more Michael Vick product at Nike-owned retail at this time." And more good news:
Reebok has also made the decision to stop sales of Michael Vick apparel, stating:
"While we respect the legal process we find the allegations against Mr. Vick too disturbing to ignore, therefore, we have decided to immediately suspend selling Vick NFL product, both at retail and online through the Reebok website."
Personally, I'm THRILLED!!!
Osprey in BW. Looks like most of the sod balls are gone, only see 1 in the nest. Falcon ledge MT, just puddles. Fin chick has been preening, did see a hoodie this AM, but MT nest now, and Norma, your 3 stork babies are in the nest standing around. Looks like it's raining (what a surprise), maybe they don't want to fly in the rain. Owl in hotel, dark in Mrs Swallow's nest, Benicia MT, and too dark elsewhere.
GOOD MORNING SUZ--
I heard the news about Michael Vick also. I hope, for once, that a Big Time Sports figure gets more than a slap on the wrist. This will be interesting to follow.
We had a really good rain Sat. night. I think it to be about 1 inch. It rained off and on Sunday. Megan said she got rain also, so she won't have to water her flowers for a while and I won't have to water my veg. garden. Hooray!
Have you been able to see the Swallow chicks yet? They have grown so much in such a short time.
GOOD MORNING TO VICKY--THE BIRTHDAY GIRL.
Hope you have lots of presents, cake and LOVE today!
Wanda
Going to get my COFFEE and wait for it to get daylight so we can see some of our favorites. BBL
Good morning, Wanda. Glad you got so much rain! I got your 17 drops Sat, and a little more than that Sunday, but that's about all. It was thundering last night when I went to bed, but all bluster... not a drop of rain, just noise.
No, still too dark to see the swallow chicks, but I keep checking on them. I'm anxious to see how much they've grown.
I'm thinking Vick will get more than a slap on the wrist. Too many people and organizations are angry, but we'll see what happens in November when he goes to trial. I hope he gets the max fine, AND jail time!
I've been watching the Fin chick this morning. He's been grooming and doing wing flaps. I'm gonna really hate to see that guy go, I just love that nest. I'll be glad when he fledges, but I'll miss him.
Wow, huge wing flaps in Finland! Oh, no, now back to grooming. Guess we need to look beautiful for our first flight!
Parent visiting chick in Finland! And Hoodie in other nest. Very cloudy in 2nd nest!
Oh my, Falcon on bar in PA. They're usually gone by this time of day!
Somebody is in the tree at Kent. Hotel owl left for a few, but now back. Mom still with chick in Finland, other Fin nest MT. The 3 storks are finally out and about, they've been in the nest all morning. Both owls in Benicia, they've been out for quite a while too.
GOOD MORNIN' EAGLE BUDDIES!---Will be spending day with ELLIS--MADDIE & CARM---(loves of my life)---GRANDKIDS in Shepherdstown today!------SEE YOU ALL LATER!---
TO BEAUTIFUL VICKY ---from "COMMODE CITY"----HAPPY---HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!--- & MANY--MANY MORE!!---Remember VICKY you spent your BIRTHDAY with the EAGLEMOMSTERS & THE EAGLES last year----They certainly SOARED FOR YOU!!!----ENJOY YOUR DAY!!!!---BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!!
Morning, Norma. Sounds like you're going to have a wonderful day! Enjoy, and talk to you later.
That may be Albert in the Kent tree, it's an eaglet. Nest in MT. Has Eggbert made an appearance lately now that he's learned there is a big world out there? I don't think I saw him last week at all. Out and about, I guess.
One of the boats is coming in on 2nd Fin cam.
OH EGGBERT HEARD ME! He's in the nest!!
Oh, and just in case you're still here, one of your storks is back in the nest, Norma.
Well, darn, eaglet gone in Kent.
Feeding time for all 3 storks!
Oh, they're doing construction on the PA falcon ledge. Guess we won't see them for the rest of the day! Man, you couldn't get me up in one of those things for love nor money! Looks like some sort of mobile scaffolding...with a green net bucket type thing you can walk around on. Nope, not a chance!
GOOD EAGLE MORNING TO SUZANNE, WANDA AND NORMA. I finally dragged myself away from CNN and crawled out of bed for the day.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO VICKY! HOPE YOUR DAY IS ALL THAT YOU WANT IT TO BE AND MUCH MORE, AND MAY YOU HAVE MANY MORE.
I haven't read blog yet, BB
swallow nest is light! Mom is there, can't see chicks, but can see something.
Someone in Kent nest! Sun also coming up, what a cool pic!
Good morning, Candy! Eaglet in Kent, God talking to him.. Beautiful pic.
Eaglet on branch now, must be Einstein, that's his branch.
Mrs S just left, chicks are visible!!!
Fin chick is eating a fish on his own, mom is not breaking it up for him.
Mom swallow is back over kids. Fin chick still eating alone, parent watching from the trees.
Good Morning everyone. Just a quick hello to say
Guardian Eagle has been placed on a Very Special Assignment over the next several days. She is gettng her pre-lis today and will be on 24 hr duty starting early tomorrow morning.
NORMA Here is hoping that the weather is a good one for you today. Enjoy your day with Ellis, Maddie, and Charm. That will be a lot better than watching birds for a change.
Enjoy!
Beautiful Monday morning, all!
I see those swallow babies - oh did you see those pretty wings on Mama S
2 osprelets and one parent at CT - one chick has breakfast!
Morning, Glo and Paula. Glo, if you're going to be on 24 hour duty, you best sleep while you can. Paula, babies are visible again. Don't know what they did to lighten the pic, but it sure looks better!
Good Morning Eagle Lovers
Norma is going to have a love filled day - Life is Good! Paula, are you stepping lightly this morning with all the dancing last night?
I have 4 special appointments today -lunch with Aaron is one of them. So I am about to get myself started.
I will be back on around 3:00.
It is good for the Guardian Eagle to appear - very comforting for all our cares and concerns.
Morning, Jo! Enjoy your lunch with Aaron, and good luck on your other appointments.
