deb said...

Eagle at BWE. Glo, liked your pictures. I, also, went bird watching, but pictures aren't ready. The eagles were cruising down the river on ice. It was fun to see.

deb said...

Good Morning, all. I had to check the weather. It is 12 and cloudy here today. We are supposed to get a warm up next week with some 30's. I am looking forward to that.

deb said...

Both at BWE now.

MITS said...

Norma, I don't think a panda cam operator is there this a.m., might just be a keeper going thru the room and trying to catch them, but they don't have the time to sit and find them.

deb said...

I am off again today. Headed into to Sioux City, IA, today to do some errands. Busy days. Hope they get the cam fixed and that you all don't get any ice!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

It is a balmy 40° here in Bluefield. Supposed to be 47 here today but tomorrow evening possible freezing rain.

MITS said...

Both owls at the Motel (I think 1 just left) - Burrowing owls still have snow on the ground - Beautiful BW eagle pair were there earlier -
Moosewatch still on yesterday & FtStVrain still not working.
Need to check around some more cams.

MITS said...

2 EAGLES BWO

MITS said...

Snow has stopped at Peggys' Cove, and the little fishing boat is there right by the Lighthouse.

normabyrd said...

Light SNOW coming down on the MAINE nest!!----Should tell DAVE about that nest!!---He is wanting to see SNOWY TREES!!

glo said...

Hi Deb and Norma Glad you had a chance to see the pictures. It is the Mississippi River Norma. I was about 6 miles from my home where I took those pictures as the Marina close by is frozen up so they are out there on the waterway. Countless and close. It was fun and the sounds were awesome too. Roads weren't too bad, but always a little differetn on the Iowa side as they do not have the river walled in...it is a natural shoreline. Insurance companies are not happy with Davenport come spring but the want it kep natural there and so far it is.

Mema Jo said...

Lots of snow coming down on the Kent nest - really looks like ice pellets!
Glo just went through your eagle pics and they are awesome! Such a variety!

Mema Jo said...

Moosewatch cam has come on - Mainly deer feeding with the one Moose Cow.

normabyrd said...

Watching TESORO EAGLE---Has that big-big limb always been there?---Certainly makes the nest look crowded----

normabyrd said...

I SEE the 'LITTLE PRINCE'!!!---He is sleeping on this huge log---Makes him look so small!!----He's a little "LOVE BUG"!! awwww!

normabyrd said...

JO---The other night--I was out side---(watching for H.S. students bring my oranges)I was standing there in light--but dark on other side!!---Heard a "snort"--SCARED ME TO DEATH!!---I thought someone was there-----Just 2 beautiful scared does!!!!----

normabyrd said...

BWO----CURIOUS EAGLE!!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all!

Thanks for emailing Steve, Jo.

They are calling for 3-6" starting tomorrow afternoon into Sunday. Dang, that's gonna interfere with my shopping! Guess I'd better get an early start tomorrow!

paula eagleholic said...

Where is that Suz this morning? Another day off!

Glad to see Candy on here!

paula eagleholic said...

Check out the Santa Cruz cam...seems to have a mind of it's own!

Mema Jo said...

Norma You've been watching too many animal cams! lol I bet you got inside pretty darn quickly!! lol

normabyrd said...

A CLOUDED LEOPARD is sleeping outside his den on the straw!!!---A very handsome animal!!---Also at the NZOO the flock of PINK FLAMINGOS are preening by the water----BUT the DUCKS are having a GREAT time swimming!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hello again everybody. Paula, love your new blog name!

normabyrd said...

working on it, thanks.
Steve

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thanks for the info, Mema Jo!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning ALL

I'm sure it was probably icy for Suzanne to come in. I walked outside to get paper. Most parts the sun hasn't hit yet and it is icy. It will melt but I'm sure the hour Suzanne leaves it would have been bad for driving.

Norma you can't take any chances when you hear things in the dark.

Thanks Steven for the new thread. Thanks NCTC for working on our cam.

Jo rest after those rehab trip ((hugs))

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' PAULA!!---They have been giving us (WV EASTERN PANHANDLE)---WINTERY WARNINGS most every day!!-----We do have lots of flooding in some counties!!!----BUT---AS THEY used to SAY in the "SAMSON & SON" tv show"---AWW! THIS IS THE BIG ONE!!! (too young to remember--aren't you PAULA???)---so go shopping!!!

Mema Jo said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

MITS said...

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DANA!!----We don't have ice---temp up to a warm 43°!!--ho!
Checked the CAPE CORAL cam earlier---looked a little windy---& TESORO is swinging in the wind---too!!---I laugh every time I see the EAGLE facing away from us!!---Never seems to look over either!!

normabyrd said...

THANKS HELEN---Your brain is younger than mine!!---ho!!---I remember----"He would always grab his heart" & yell the big one was coming!!!----My kids used to mimic him---when I would correct them!! ho!

wvgal_dana said...

wvgal_dana said...

I think ZZ has seen the Robo commerical too much lol She was trying to stand on her head. lol

wvgal_dana said...

Norma you should be watching her. She is certainly entertaining herself well ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Guess she wore herself flat out because she just all of a sudden quite moving and is out like a light. Now showing a panda outside.

paula eagleholic said...

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at BWO

normabyrd said...

DANA---Thanks for thinking of me---but I have been cleaning out my emails---I am like CANDY---I just get behind!----Will check on PRECIOUS SQUIGGLES now!

paula eagleholic said...

Switch at Tesoro - Wet eagles!!

Steve Chase said...

John fixed the cam. A new maintenance issue is keeping the fuel cell water jug full. It was empty this AM.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thanks for letting us know that, Steve!!

paula eagleholic said...

Aha...so it is fill up the jugs and take a hike, eh?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Paula, that is exactly what I was thinking too!

paula eagleholic said...

Ooops, my bad!

Thank you John!!

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle still at BW - Is that Louie??

Sharon - :):):)

paula eagleholic said...

In case you missed Pook filling up the bins at www.moosewatch.com

Eagletmomsters.blogspot.com

paula eagleholic said...

We are getting quite an education, aren't we Sharon?

Costume Lady said...

THANK YOU PAULA FOR THE VIDEO. I'm sure some of us have never seen Pook and Sidekick before. Every little tidbit is fascinating to us. Looks like Sidekick stayed behind to lap up the leftovers.

Costume Lady said...

Do you think we need to volunteer taking turns filling up the fuel cells? Put me on the list.

paula eagleholic said...

That is the first time I have seen that too, Wanda. I saw just Sidekick the other day...

Nest looks ripe for a visit....unless they are out fishing!

MITS said...

BOTH EAGLES

MITS said...

I think they hid a fish in the hole and are snacking now

MITS said...

moving sticks//////////////

MITS said...

mine is stuck

MITS said...

c'mom cam!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Weagles!!

MITS said...

finally it is unstuck

MITS said...

poop-shoot

MITS said...

what ever was in the whole it is gone.

normabyrd said...

WANDA---Maybe you & I could stay at NCTC to check on the fuel cells each day!!---I volunteer & WILL pay NCTC to work there!!---ho! (i am easy)----

Costume Lady said...

GOOD IDEA, NORMA. I will bring a step ladder.

deb said...

Joe has put up video on the first hummingbird's second flight. He missed the first flight, but this one is pretty good.

Costume Lady said...

Thanks Deb....The hummer's videos are priceless. I think I looked at everyting that was there to be viewed and then wished for more!

glo said...

Where is this fuel cell? Is it located up by the tree. Hmmmm well whatever. I hope the cam works and the fuel cell is full but I surely hope its not well.... I think you get my drift.

Mema Jo said...

Updated some photos of nest visits


Link to newly added photos in Momster album of eagle visits this week

Mema Jo said...

New Cam Installation on Momsters
Panels are on the ground! No climbing necessary



Picture of solar panels

Mema Jo said...

Costume Lady said...

Thanks, Jo, for reminding me that the fuel cells are on the ground. Now Norma and I won't need the ladder. We are both getting too old to climb trees. LOL

glo said...

OK so I guess I am also learning I think that the fuel cells are on the solar panels there by the tree. I wonder how often they will actually have to approach the tree to add water. Ok well mTBR I guess. Good nIght all have a nice weekend.

I just want to say for those who know what I do that our facility is absolutley overflowing with items to help the folks we work with celebrate the holiday and face the winter with warmth in their hearts and on their bodies. We have been open 1 year now and all of our families have had their children adopted for Christmas. The shelves are brimming with food and needed staples. Tomorrow I will meet an ambulance that will be packed to every inch with non perishables, we hardly even know where we are going to put everything. It is an awesome problem to have and there are many wonderful folks in this world I love this part of the Christmas Season.

Ok Wishing you all a good weekend.

Costume Lady said...

LATE AGAIN!
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT

Mema Jo said...

Good Late night it is everyone!!

Christmas is getting closer & closer...

See you all Saturday morning!
I bet Suzanne's house is either spotless or she is so rested & is anxious to come back to work!!

Thinking about you staying safe, Suz!

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY. HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOD BLESS YOU.

JIM

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...RISE AND SHINE!
It is 26° here in Martinsburg, and calling for a very nasty afternoon and evening. A Wintry mix of sleet and some snow. Not a lot of accumulation, but some slippery road conditions. Could last into Sunday morning, so be careful and end your Saturday Christmas shopping early.

Costume Lady said...

No visitors to our nest yet. Hope they come soon, before the nasty weather gets here.

Mema Jo said...

Happy 8:00ish Saturday morning!
Frosty out there on the cars!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, friends!

I am heeding the winter storm warning and am heading out early to do some shopping.

Snow and ice later for today, stay safe and warm!

Costume Lady said...

The Martinsburg Journal is calling for up to 5" of snow and wind gusts of 50mph....expect ice accumulation on power lines and trees and possibility of power outages. Get your necessities early, then curl up with a good book and a hot bowl of soup or take a looong Panda nap.

Mema Jo said...

I think it is going to get nasty!

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning Jo. How is therapy going?

Mema Jo said...

Going great! Wish I hadn't had off for the past 4 months..

Mema Jo said...
