Always one of my favorite parts of the open house Wanda. Good Morning everyone:) Gotta run, late already, looong day, work all day, then have to attend a totally unecessary meeting all freaking evening. Wqanda, One of the ladies working on the eagle train wants one of your necklaces very badly. Everyone was asking where we got them.
Thanks for the new thread, Steve! Had a blast out there Saturday! Thanks for the heads up, Wanda. Morning, Vicky, Glo and Iris! Vicky, drive carefully. Glo, it was nice to meet you! And Vicky and Iris it was nice to see you again!
Drive safely? Always! Suzanne it was great seeing you too lady! Always enjoy all your pictures you share with us. Keep up the good reporting Dear Heart!
Good Morning, Suzanne, Wanda, Megan, Mits and Vicky....
I was surprised there were so few comments on the thread... turns out it's not the same one as last night.
Still sleepy, but it's late enough I might stay up. The wind is still blowing from the desert at a gale force. I don't recall one this strong for years along the coast here.
Thanks, Mits, and good morning. That's what I thought, but there were 2 this morning, and one was laying on their back eating the bamboo. Missed you guys, Sat!!
Morning, Jim. You'll have to start making plans to come out to NCTC Open House next year in October! Nice to see the BW eagles! Ours were AWOL this morning.
JIM--IN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION FROM LAST NIGHT---The photo of Anne-Marie & her granddaughter on my blog shows them drinking Poop Shooters. Tasted pretty good!
Smokey's are beautiful, Mits! Glad you got to see the divers up close and personal. The guy that usually comes first, with the dark hair, gets really close, and always waives hello and good-bye. Very friendly guys... Haven't seen them for a while though.

SUZANNE----(CURSES!!--FOILED AGAIN)----NO PICS OF THE "ATLANTA BEAUTY" today & tomorrow!!!---(maintenance work)----Do they know life won't be the same without the SPUNKY little BUTA--BUTA!!!!!

SUZANNE---They are a TRIP!!----They love to FIGHT!!----don't like to mate---I think!!---She is always smacking him!!!----I have had a hard time this a.m. seeing a "white butt"---ho!---
Did you see the divers? There are 7 of them down there, so 7 of them have to come back up, so keep watching. Not sure how much air they have, how long they stay down. Never paid attention.
ah, that is usually playing, that turns into fighting, didn't see it, but no mating til the spring, although Tian might try, but, Mei will tell him NO!
Have both NZ cams up, both pandas on those cams are asleep. Squiggles is also asleep, and Bai is out and about...maybe she's out taking a panda nap too. Changed the view at Africam. Deer or something on cam..antelope? Donkeys in Bonaire are getting soaked, raining there.
SUZANNE---Saw REALLY--REALLY BIG FISH WITH BIG EYES---seemed to hang around----NO DIVERS---(Some day my Prince "Diver" will come) ho!--but not today!!! What time did you get home Sat.?---
Thanks HELEN!---That's my thinking too!!----I have been trying to get dressed, etc.---Trying to read all the comments!!!---Romney is 75 miles from Shepherdstown-----& I seemed to hit church folks yesterday!!!---
Yeah, and the divers usually come around 11 our time.
Norma, I saw that fish this morning too, then also a little while ago. Wonder if he knows he's on cam, and showing off for the world! Got home Sat at 5 till 9. Attempted to stay up and watch something on TV, but that didn't work too well! Went to bed after I got 2 kitties off my lap, maybe shortly before 10 or so. I was beat!
Paula, nest looked good this morning, but those squiggly lines are still there. Sometimes just the one at the top, other times, one at the top, and one in the middle. They're still there, but you can hardly see them during the day. Only way you can tell is by the wiggly leaf on the left and right, sorta at 10 and 2 on the cam. They look clear now, so I won't say the squiggly lines are there now.
HELEN---I was worn out too & I didn't take they TRAIN ride!!---Haven't heard many comments about the train---Must not have seen many EAGLES---WONDERFUL WEATHER!!----But I bet everyone was very tired!!!----VICKY & GLO had at least a 2 hr. drive back to where they were staying & ANNE was driving to WILLIAMSBURG----Would guess at least 4 hrs.----been a long time though!!!
Hi again everyone. Vicky and I are on the Pennsylvania turnpike. It has been the experience of a lifetime for me to meet all of you and head for the nest. Even though we did not see the eagles on Sat, we were back there a little after 6 am Sun morning and were met by both Lib and Belle.....My trip at that point was complete. Everything after that was just frosting on the cake. Hugs to each of you who helped to make this trip happen, which brings it celar back to very early 2006 and up to the directions hugs and memories of Oct 20, 2007. What a difference one eagle cam has mde to my life.
Well, the electric CO has made it a very late HELLO EVERYONE for me this morning Praying for safe traveling for all our Momsters on the Road! Norma - I have your ticket & just maybe on hubby's next trip up I will hand deliver it to you.It is good for one yr.You mentioned that you Hit Church PeopleHow many did you get? I put a pic up of Anne meeting Steve on the Momsters. And a pic of Robyn's nephew, Kyle when he was helping to hold the Python head on the 2nd Battson show. Words cannot describe the feelings & emotions of our NCTC Open House get together!!! I pray we have many more opportunities to share our time with each other.
I want to again thank Paula for my golden eagle lapel pin and Wanda for my most colorful eagle beaded necklace! I did of course have a "Poop Shoot" from Capt Gene & it was gooooooood! A big Thank You to Nilla for the PEACH pie and the apple, pumpkin and cherry pies. They were delicious! One SPECIAL THANK YOU goes to Bob Quinn! The prints he donated for Paula to sell brought in many dollars for our eagle cam! Thank you to Anne & Diana, Glo & Vicky for the extra miles you traveled to be with us! I am sure I'll think of someone I forgot to Thank!
Good Afternoon Steve. Wanda, Mits, Megan, Vicky and Glo (driving, Suzanne (who's left for home now), Jim, Paula, Norma, Jo, Iris, and Anne (with granddaughter should be in Williamsburg by now). Vicky does have something to remember the person she missed seeing though. Sleep with it under your pillow Vicky ( :
Safe travels to all our Momsters and also Bob Quinn. Next time we print out a map for Bob.
PAULA---I owe you another SORRY!!--I thanked JO for the EAGLE pin!!---Just read it came for you---THANK YOU!!---THANK YOU!!---I guess I owe you "BIG TIME"!!!
Has anyone heard from JIM lately?---Wonder how close he is to the fire---They had the Mayor of SD on CNN earlier---he sounded as if things were getting much worse!!!----Also wondered if anyone knows how close the SD ZOO is to the fire!!--
GLO Vicky is such a SLICK driver - You didn't really need that wax! lol You better keep your eyes to the skies & don't worry about the road! Turnpikes are cool!!!!!
MOVIN SAID ABOUT THE FIRES the Malibu fire is not very close, but there are approx. a dozen wildfires in So Cal, the winds and temperature are very high, the humidity is very low.
JO, that is Issac, he has a touch of arthritis, poor thing, they are watching him closely. Will try to catch up with one of the trainers on Wed and see how he is doing
Well I certainly will have several Thank You to be sending out when I get out of WV and back to IL....seems so strange to drive all these hours and see Welcome to WV, but that will only be for a few more mles and we will have reached Ohio.
I'm think they have been doing that, he doesn't seem to be in too much pain, but who really knows, know they are aware of it and are doing everything they can...it really hurts the keepers to see one of their animals in distress.
YES, I will feel better when I see her. The San Diego Wildlife park is closed do to the wildfires, but everything is ok and animals are showing no stress per their site news, the zoo is open as usual
Last time that Jim checked in he said the fires were not near him but since then many new fires have popped up and I haven't seen him today.
Glo-It is that way in both panhandles. Only 20 miles in the eastern panhandle on 81 and I think a little less in the northern where you just crossed. Somebody wasn't thinking straight whe they mapped out WV. LOL
Hi, Jill, Paula, Actually, it's hot here and the air is full of smoke, which I can smell with door and windows shut, A/C on. But most of the fires are in the mountains at least 50 miles away from here...
Except the Santiago Canyon fire, which is not too far east in the Santa Ana Mountains. Really east of Irvine more to the south.
That's a very beautiful area in the Cleveland National Forest for a scenic drive in a sports car, and the canyons are generally targets of brush fires (because there is a lot of brush and scrub oak, etc., which gets very dry under these conditions.
This particular area is not immediately threatened, but many are, and our fire fighters are really committed to the maximum.
No Jim, Rumsey Tavern is less than 20 y/o. Forget just when they built it but was after I moved to Martinsburg and that was 20 years ago. But there are many historical places in Shepherdstown and the surrounding area. Great for Civil War buffs as a lot of teh action took place in the area.
Good gona be arainy night and tomarrow so get ouyr water wings on...lol You are right Jill it was 20 years ago they built Clarion Hotel my ex husband and son helped build it.. thats how i know it also has government facilities under it.. Oh my showing the fires out in Malibu, California and its horrible!!! Well like i said calling for rain starting tonight and all day tomarrow we need it... Hope Glo and Vicky get home before it comes out to that area also.... As for Jasmin being so sick, she seems to be alittle better her mom said at least she got some sleep after we left the hospitol at 4am... I dont see Dolly on cam... havent checked other cams yet... Jill i will need some papers Noterized for my son , can you handle that???
We are looking at the Blackwater Refuge site in Cambridge, Maryland. Paula has the website address on her blog, if you can't find it, email me at kalis5615@comcast.net, and I will send you the link. At this time we are watching the osprey nest because that is where the eagles hang out til it is time for them to start their family
Howdy GloBug.. Hope you and Vick make it home before this rain thats coming your way also hits... Soo glad you got to see Lib & Belle at the nest.. Drive safe..
Mits didnt Maggie have that RSV last year? I prayed and prayed Jasmin didnt have it.. they stuck a long tube down her nose to get a culture ... she didnt like that at all... But thank God she didnt! Welcome to the blog n8rlvrsd you can find many of the sites we watch on www.beakspeak.com also and the Yahoo Momsters Group as many links...
Oh thanks i thought this was something Preemies get like Maggie n Jasmin... Jasmin was born at 32 weeks... Doctor said to keep an eye on her breathng also...
n8rlvrsd Thanks for coming onto the Eagle Cam Daily - The best way to get all these links is to join the Eaglet_Momsters yahoo group. That is also where all the photos are posted. All you need to do is email our moderator: pccompton@yahoo.com and request membership - no catches involved! If you go to the home page for this blog - down on the right should be some links.
Thank you NCTC, Steve and Linda and all of you wonderful Eaglet_momsters!!! Thanks also to the security guards who were so patient and helpful. Loved the gift shop (I found an eagle walking stick) and the food in the cafeteria!
What a fun, caring bunch you all are. It was a great day when my cousin Barb sent me the URL back in March of 2006!!! I will certainly try to get back to see you all as often as I can.
Wanda, Barb loves her necklace and so do I. Thank you so much. In fact, thank you all for the warm welcome and the hugs and good wishes.
Glo and Vicky and I had a hard time leaving WV as the bridges over the Shenandoah and the Potomac were backed up for miles by the time we got there. We thought maybe we might have to go househunting!*grin* We got back to my place in PA at about 11:15p.m. on Sunday night. They left here about 10:30 this morning and I'm sure gonna miss them!
Nilla, your pies were great and of course I will keep little Jasmine in my prayers. Can't be too careful with our little ones can we?
The train ride was such fun and our weather couldn't have been better. Norma, I hope you have the same kind of weather when you get to ride it.
I know there was someone else to thank and to answer a question for, but - I have forgotten who or what. Please forgive my poor memory and few posts. I love the email messages though and read them every day.
That's right Jo...plenty of room in the nest!! All are welcome!! The only requirement is that you love or like or adore eagles! LOL. We are just a bunch of raptor lovin' eagleholics!
Paula - the grass is so high you can hardly see the black box... but what you can see are the solar panels from up at the barn near the base of the tree.

STEVE--We would like the name of the Critter handlers. HELP. Also the gentlemen holding the snake.
THANK YOU MEGAN! I enjoyed that show so much. I felt like a kid again. Laughed like a fool at the men holding the snake.
GOOD MONDAY MORNING EVERYONE, HAVE A GOOD WEEK
MITS--Good morning to you. Missed you Saturday. Our group wasn't complete without you.
Always one of my favorite parts of the open house Wanda. Good Morning everyone:) Gotta run, late already, looong day, work all day, then have to attend a totally unecessary meeting all freaking evening. Wqanda, One of the ladies working on the eagle train wants one of your necklaces very badly. Everyone was asking where we got them.

Good Morning, Suzanne, Wanda, Megan, Mits and Vicky....
I was surprised there were so few comments on the thread... turns out it's not the same one as last night.
Still sleepy, but it's late enough I might stay up. The wind is still blowing from the desert at a gale force. I don't recall one this strong for years along the coast here.
How is everyone this morning?
Jim
Meant to say there are two eagles on the platform at BW.
Jim
Suzanne, Tai is always by himself..
Morning, Jim....hang on:)!!!
Thanks, Mits, and good morning. That's what I thought, but there were 2 this morning, and one was laying on their back eating the bamboo. Missed you guys, Sat!!
Morning, Jim. You'll have to start making plans to come out to NCTC Open House next year in October! Nice to see the BW eagles! Ours were AWOL this morning.
Thanks, Suz, we missed you too....
JIM--IN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION FROM LAST NIGHT---The photo of Anne-Marie & her granddaughter on my blog shows them drinking Poop Shooters. Tasted pretty good!
Have to get Shop ready for the day. BBL
Have a good one, Wanda. Sell lots of costumes! I'll get a poop shoot and eagle talon next time!!
Thanks, Wanda, for the alcoholic (?) refreshment update. I'm hesitant to ask what's in either of the eagle's drinks.
Hope there's no raw fish though.
Jim
Both eagles at BW must have gone for breakfast.
Jim
beautiful sky at the Great Smokies. Suzanne, the divers were really up close and personal at Bonnaire yesterday...
Good Morning, Jim. Hope you are safe from the fires.
Morning,everyone!
If the Rumsey Tavern had sushi, I'm sure we would have had some!
At least I would have...can't speak for the rest of the gang...and no raw fish in the drinks!
LOL, Suz, What are IGGLES???
MORNING PAULA....I like sushi:).
Morning, Paula. LOL, IGGLES are a shorter way to type eagles. My hands get so cold here, half the time I can't type!
Smokey's are beautiful, Mits! Glad you got to see the divers up close and personal. The guy that usually comes first, with the dark hair, gets really close, and always waives hello and good-bye. Very friendly guys... Haven't seen them for a while though.

sun coming up in Oregon, yesterday a.m. nest was full of snow, but as day went on it melted
JIM---How close are you to the FIRES!!!----Watched 60 mins. last nite (after seeing DALLAS WIN!!)--They interviewed the CA.ST.FIRE CHIEF----He said the FIRES are getting worse each year---& guesses there will not be many forests left in the west this coming century--This is the deadliest fire in this century!!!---global warming!!!---CERTAINLY PRAY you are not in that area!!!

ATLANTA cam has a pic of MEI LAN!!
She certainly has grown---one can see the mischief in her eyes!!
HELEN---Forgot to tell you---They didn't let us in the bldg with the UMBRELLAS!!!!-----(we thought of you!)-----
DARN.....NORMA, how come??? there is a gorilla on the cam at NZ
oh well, now you see him, and now you don't...fast little bugger.
HELEN---I had the Breathebonaire (sp)on & you won't believe I had very few fish!!---ho!----I am JINXED!!--
I don't know how many people were at OPEN HOUSE---But ALL the parking lots were filled!!!!---Ran shuttle buses for us!!!-----I think WHEN I go back next year---I will have a better idea of where to go first!!---You know my sense of direction!!---Hasn't improved!!
Been gone for a while. Look at the eagle in BW. Looks like he's banded on both feet, and his feet are black! Muddy, maybe, he has a huge fish!
Norma, I saw that, no Atlanta cam for 2 days...JUST DARN!!!
Look at the wresting at NZ!!! Or something...
Mits, are they mating? Or just fighting...
DIVERS NORMA!!!!
SUZANNE---They are a TRIP!!----They love to FIGHT!!----don't like to mate---I think!!---She is always smacking him!!!----I have had a hard time this a.m. seeing a "white butt"---ho!---
Did you see the divers? There are 7 of them down there, so 7 of them have to come back up, so keep watching. Not sure how much air they have, how long they stay down. Never paid attention.
That's what I thought, Norma, but it sure looked like it to me. But he was biting her too, then she just walked away.
Eagle at BW looks like he's banded on both legs, or else he just has very dirty feet and cleaner legs. Maybe fishing in the mud???? How can he see?
ah, that is usually playing, that turns into fighting, didn't see it, but no mating til the spring, although Tian might try, but, Mei will tell him NO!
missed the divers..
Didn't think they were mating, don't think she's in estrus, they would have said something on the website.
Ok, Mits, got it. Maybe he was trying, and she walked away from him!
Divers came down, they gotta go back in a few minutes.
she won't be in estrus til March or April, usually
Have both NZ cams up, both pandas on those cams are asleep. Squiggles is also asleep, and Bai is out and about...maybe she's out taking a panda nap too.
Changed the view at Africam. Deer or something on cam..antelope?
Donkeys in Bonaire are getting soaked, raining there.
Oh, ok, thanks, Mits. Maybe just wishful thinking on his part!
Norma it seems sometimes when fish disappear, the divers are not far behind, at least that is what I have observed.
SUZANNE---Saw REALLY--REALLY BIG FISH WITH BIG EYES---seemed to hang around----NO DIVERS---(Some day my Prince "Diver" will come)
ho!--but not today!!!
What time did you get home Sat.?---
Thanks HELEN!---That's my thinking too!!----I have been trying to get dressed, etc.---Trying to read all the comments!!!---Romney is 75 miles from Shepherdstown-----& I seemed to hit church folks yesterday!!!---
Hey---I haven't tried the DONKEYS for a while!!!--W/try!!
Hey, Suz - how did the nest look this morning?? Any lines??
There they are again! Fighting!
Yeah, and the divers usually come around 11 our time.
Norma, I saw that fish this morning too, then also a little while ago. Wonder if he knows he's on cam, and showing off for the world! Got home Sat at 5 till 9. Attempted to stay up and watch something on TV, but that didn't work too well! Went to bed after I got 2 kitties off my lap, maybe shortly before 10 or so. I was beat!
Paula, nest looked good this morning, but those squiggly lines are still there. Sometimes just the one at the top, other times, one at the top, and one in the middle. They're still there, but you can hardly see them during the day. Only way you can tell is by the wiggly leaf on the left and right, sorta at 10 and 2 on the cam. They look clear now, so I won't say the squiggly lines are there now.
Aw, eagle left BW.
Mei is giving Tian her back off growl

Hi all Have a safe ride home Suzanne I loved beign able to meet you and wanted to say that before you leave.
I don't think they saw many eagles on the train ride, according to Jo.
Hi again everyone. Vicky and I are on the Pennsylvania turnpike. It has been the experience of a lifetime for me to meet all of you and head for the nest. Even though we did not see the eagles on Sat, we were back there a little after 6 am Sun morning and were met by both Lib and Belle.....My trip at that point was complete.

Norma - I have your ticket & just maybe on hubby's next trip up I will hand deliver it to you.It is good for one yr.You mentioned that you Hit Church People How many did you get?
I put a pic up of Anne meeting Steve on the Momsters. And a pic of Robyn's nephew, Kyle when he was helping to hold the Python head on the 2nd Battson show. Words cannot describe the feelings & emotions of our NCTC Open House get together!!!
I pray we have many more opportunities to share our time with each other.
Did she hit them with her cane, Jo??? What's with your electricity up there lately?
starting to clean out kitchen cabinets, already broke 1 cup....thank heavens it wasn't my Todd Harless eagle cup on my Tai-shan cup:).
ahh, Mei and Tian are eating bamboo together
that big-eyed fish loves the cam at Bonnaire
I want to again thank Paula for my golden eagle lapel pin and Wanda for my most colorful eagle beaded necklace!
I did of course have a "Poop Shoot" from Capt Gene & it was gooooooood!
A big Thank You to Nilla for the PEACH pie and the apple, pumpkin and cherry pies. They were delicious!
One SPECIAL THANK YOU goes to Bob Quinn! The prints he donated for Paula to sell brought in many dollars for our eagle cam!
Thank you to Anne & Diana, Glo & Vicky for the extra miles you traveled to be with us!
I am sure I'll think of someone I forgot to Thank!
Mits They are putting new poles along RT 40A - I am sure that is what causes the outage. Lasted for a little over an hour.
NORMA I know you missed the train but when we get our Cruise tickets, I sure hope you don't miss the boat! lol
I need to go over to emails..

PAULA---I owe you another SORRY!!--I thanked JO for the EAGLE pin!!---Just read it came for you---THANK YOU!!---THANK YOU!!---I guess I owe you "BIG TIME"!!!
Has anyone heard from JIM lately?---Wonder how close he is to the fire---They had the Mayor of SD on CNN earlier---he sounded as if things were getting much worse!!!----Also wondered if anyone knows how close the SD ZOO is to the fire!!--
GLO Vicky is such a SLICK driver - You didn't really need that wax! lol
You better keep your eyes to the skies & don't worry about the road!
Turnpikes are cool!!!!!
I got the Santa Cruz cam opened
Very Very windy there
Dana Carol was definitely there and caught up with us! We all sat together. Check out my "Clickety Clack" comment on yesterday's thread.
Norma I think on the previous thread that Jim explains his locations in connection with the fires. Let's go check it out!
MOVIN SAID ABOUT THE FIRES
the Malibu fire is not very close, but there are approx. a dozen wildfires in So Cal, the winds and temperature are very high, the humidity is very low.
Squiggles is starting to fill up her den - really getting larger.
Lots of new photos on the F&F site of Dolly!
Mits Just saw one of the Fishing Cats walking around in his yard. Sure looks as though he was limping........
JO, that is Issac, he has a touch of arthritis, poor thing, they are watching him closely. Will try to catch up with one of the trainers on Wed and see how he is doing
as a matter of fact, I'll write my boss right now to see if she can get me an update.
BBL
JO!!!! your missing the otters:).
Norma - No problem!!
Oh my gosh it just said we are in WV again....we don't seem to be making much progress LOL
Well I certainly will have several Thank You to be sending out when I get out of WV and back to IL....seems so strange to drive all these hours and see Welcome to WV, but that will only be for a few more mles and we will have reached Ohio.
I know I am late - but I see the otters over there sleeping.
sent a note to my boss, hope she responds:)
OHIO can't be far away, GLO.
I love the way they curl up and sleep together.
MITS Maybe they will give him a steroid shot to help the arthritis
F & F in color - but No Dolly to be seen. New galleries of pictures.
I'm think they have been doing that, he doesn't seem to be in too much pain, but who really knows, know they are aware of it and are doing everything they can...it really hurts the keepers to see one of their animals in distress.
well the octopus is on its cam...
still only 5:45 a.m. there in Dollyland.
Usually Dolly is still sleeping at this time of early morning. Hopefully they will come into work and move the cam to capture her wherever she is.
YES, I will feel better when I see her. The San Diego Wildlife park is closed do to the wildfires, but everything is ok and animals are showing no stress per their site news, the zoo is open as usual
Eagle at BW
Dolly is out of the corner!
Last time that Jim checked in he said the fires were not near him but since then many new fires have popped up and I haven't seen him today.
Glo-It is that way in both panhandles. Only 20 miles in the eastern panhandle on 81 and I think a little less in the northern where you just crossed. Somebody wasn't thinking straight whe they mapped out WV. LOL
he has been here, Jill, and on the eaglet momster e-mails, not too long ago.
2 eagles at BW now
2 eagles at BW
Looks like a female on the left and a male on the right.
Explorer just crashed for the second time today, taking a big elaborate comment with it. Hahahaha.
Jim
Hi, Jill, Paula,
Actually, it's hot here and the air is full of smoke, which I can smell with door and windows shut, A/C on. But most of the fires are in the mountains at least 50 miles away from here...
Except the Santiago Canyon fire, which is not too far east in the Santa Ana Mountains. Really east of Irvine more to the south.
That's a very beautiful area in the Cleveland National Forest for a scenic drive in a sports car, and the canyons are generally targets of brush fires (because there is a lot of brush and scrub oak, etc., which gets very dry under these conditions.
This particular area is not immediately threatened, but many are, and our fire fighters are really committed to the maximum.
Jim
that crazy big-eye fish is back at Bonnaire..loves the cam
I took a long look at the Open House Photos that Paula posted (thought there were some other people's too, but I didn't find them).
It's super fine to see all your bright, smiling faces (together with your names) having such a great time together. Very beautiful set of pics.
Jim
I Googled "Rumsey Tavern," thinking it might be historical.
Found a lot of pics and info, but apparently it's not historical... kind of looks like it is though.
Hope you enjoyed it.
Jim
BW eagles have left to enjoy dinner, I guess.
Jim
Dolly seems to be up and walking the ledge this morning.
Jim
Got to take care of a few things, I will check back later.
Jim
No Jim, Rumsey Tavern is less than 20 y/o. Forget just when they built it but was after I moved to Martinsburg and that was 20 years ago. But there are many historical places in Shepherdstown and the surrounding area. Great for Civil War buffs as a lot of teh action took place in the area.
JILL--You are right, there is a lot of action in Shepherdstown. LOL
PAULA--Loved your photo of Steve and Anne-Marie. You captured the happiness of the day in their smiles.
Good gona be arainy night and tomarrow so get ouyr water wings on...lol You are right Jill it was 20 years ago they built Clarion Hotel my ex husband and son helped build it.. thats how i know it also has government facilities under it.. Oh my showing the fires out in Malibu, California and its horrible!!! Well like i said calling for rain starting tonight and all day tomarrow we need it... Hope Glo and Vicky get home before it comes out to that area also.... As for Jasmin being so sick, she seems to be alittle better her mom said at least she got some sleep after we left the hospitol at 4am... I dont see Dolly on cam... havent checked other cams yet... Jill i will need some papers Noterized for my son , can you handle that???
All the pictures are great posted on Momsters and Wandas... That Jazzy and Diana sure got around...lol
Wanda - I think Jo took those pics of Anne and Steve...not sure
Wanda - Can I put your pics in the album? Or would you like to?
Thanks!
Heading home...
EAGLE UP IN MAINE NEST
Could you please tell me what website you are looking at when you talk about bw?
darn flew away, short visit but nice to see them, been hearing them for weeks now
OK almost to Columbus...calling it a day. Hoping for an eagle visit soon LOL
We are looking at the Blackwater Refuge site in Cambridge, Maryland. Paula has the website address on her blog, if you can't find it, email me at kalis5615@comcast.net, and I will send you the link. At this time we are watching the osprey nest because that is where the eagles hang out til it is time for them to start their family
Thank you, I had tried the eagle cam, but it said it was down until December.
Howdy GloBug.. Hope you and Vick make it home before this rain thats coming your way also hits... Soo glad you got to see Lib & Belle at the nest.. Drive safe..
Mits didnt Maggie have that RSV last year? I prayed and prayed Jasmin didnt have it.. they stuck a long tube down her nose to get a culture ... she didnt like that at all... But thank God she didnt! Welcome to the blog n8rlvrsd you can find many of the sites we watch on www.beakspeak.com also and the Yahoo Momsters Group as many links...
That's correct, just go over to the osprey cam and see all the action, of eagles, turkey vultures, which we call eeewwwiiiees, and an occasional heron
Yes, Nilla, she did, was in the PICU for 5 days last January.
But Nilla, any baby can get it not just the premmies, there is a vaccine for it, but most insurance companies don't want to pay for it.
Oh thanks i thought this was something Preemies get like Maggie n Jasmin... Jasmin was born at 32 weeks... Doctor said to keep an eye on her breathng also...

Well, yeah, premmies really have to be watch alot during their 1st year.
Paula, its funny sometimes I can copy and paste things to the blog and sometimes I can't, could not get that address to copy and paste.
you had just walked out the door when eagle up in Maine showed up for a brief visit
I'm going to live the computer for a few minutes, so they will fly in, maybe.
n8rlvrsd Thanks for coming onto the Eagle Cam Daily - The best way to get all these links is to join the Eaglet_Momsters yahoo group. That is also where all the photos are posted. All you need to do is email
our moderator: pccompton@yahoo.com
and request membership - no catches involved!
If you go to the home page for this blog - down on the right should be some links.
Yup, I see that now...cool.
Hey Mits, you asked if I saw the box by the tree. Does that box have the fuel cells in it?
Thank you NCTC, Steve and Linda and all of you wonderful Eaglet_momsters!!! Thanks also to the security guards who were so patient and helpful. Loved the gift shop (I found an eagle walking stick) and the food in the cafeteria!
What a fun, caring bunch you all are. It was a great day when my cousin Barb sent me the URL back in March of 2006!!! I will certainly try to get back to see you all as often as I can.
Wanda, Barb loves her necklace and so do I. Thank you so much. In fact, thank you all for the warm welcome and the hugs and good wishes.
Glo and Vicky and I had a hard time leaving WV as the bridges over the Shenandoah and the Potomac were backed up for miles by the time we got there. We thought maybe we might have to go househunting!*grin* We got back to my place in PA at about 11:15p.m. on Sunday night. They left here about 10:30 this morning and I'm sure gonna miss them!
Nilla, your pies were great and of course I will keep little Jasmine in my prayers. Can't be too careful with our little ones can we?
The train ride was such fun and our weather couldn't have been better. Norma, I hope you have the same kind of weather when you get to ride it.
I know there was someone else to thank and to answer a question for, but - I have forgotten who or what. Please forgive my poor memory and few posts. I love the email messages though and read them every day.
Love and Hugs and Prayers to you all,
Iris
