Wow good morning Eagle World!!! Hi Dana, Donna,Deb, Wanda and Norma. And Good morning to all from the other thread... Just got to my computer, so now I'm heading for a cup of coffee...brb
Hi Norma, yes, I will be visiting Sherpherds town this spring or summer. If you dear friends plan an outing, or nest visit, Mauley will be there. I can hardly wait. Of course, I want to wait for Mits to be whole again, which is just a short time. In our walk by faith and not sight, I see Mits and Sandy healed already. All of you have a good one. Is Suzanne on here? mauley Please all of you pray for my dear daughter. This is her SIXTH sHE is high risk. Her age and her history of the one c-section. this is her 9th pregnancy. She has dilated to 3 and determined to have a normal delivery. Baby is 3 weeks early so I am heading out to Holstein Valley in Tennessee. let you know as soon as I know something.

MOOSE STORY FOR JO!!!----True story--from CHARLESTON GAZETTE---This OFFICER (with law enforcement) in ALASKA---was driving along one night in an area with signs--"WATCH OUT FOR FALLING ROCKS" & all at once this HUGE DARK BOULDER fell in the road directly in front of the driver---he was so relieved---he thought---WOW!--That rock just missed me----pulled over----what he thought was a rock was a "VERY BIG MOOSE" lying dead in the road!!----This was a first--in that area---that a MOOSE had slipped & fallen off a high cliff!-----(this moose story is for you--mema jo)-----
GOOD MORNIN' PAULA--INDIANA DAVE & JIM!!----We are gettin a 'wee bit' of sunshine now!!---YEAH DANA!--LISA'S info (sent by a scientist to her) that I was referring to this morning!!
MORNIN' BEAUTIFUL MEGAN!!---I bet you are enjoying the computer now!!!----Mine has driven me nuts all weekend!---Keeps shutting down!---Husband get a holiday?
Prayers for your Daughter Mauley, going up as we chat and everyday!
Dana, I had to take neokast off this computer, it fouled up my sound... Jim thinks it just didn't install properly, so I will look into downloadiing it again...sure hope I don't have to forgo all the new CA nests. Others with Vista have installed it with no problem.
Hey Norma, enjoying broadband, yes...computer is having major issues though, driving me bonkers. No holiday for hubby, that's ok, hasn't had work for months, finally has some small jobs in the past week, living off of love and savings..one of which is dwindling fast...
South Dakota's winter count for eagles is out, down 1.5% to last year. It is hard to count my area depending on weather, boats, fisherman. North side of the river is SD, south side of the river is Nebraska. I need to check out the details yet. Last year's count was 226.
Donna - prayers for your daughter Please keep us updated! Norma - I was thinking that Danelle would be giving us info - but I guess she hasn't seen Sandra as an out-patient rehab.. Hi Geula!
I have to chuckle at him. He has the bottom in the nest. The rest is sticking up in the air. He pulls down on it to try and fix it in the nest. It flings back up lol
I am so glad to see that you saw the eagle at the Kent cam l nest. I was at work when I spotted it and couldn't get through on the blog to tell anyone. I am home now.
Yes it does Iris ... wow the emails. Especially when something sent to Eagle_Momsters then someone replies and someone else replies they lol keep adding up.
So glad you got Neokast worked out Iris so you can see WE and Two Harbors. I guess SC/PH will go there too don't know. I get it on wmp now. So now Iris that you are an expert you can help others with Vista.
Apparently yhte people at Norfolk BG have been given permission to go up and retrieve the eggs, I guess so they can test them to see if they were fertile and pehaps at least glean some reaeaarch info from them. And WVEC in Va should have a story later today on the situation. ALso, apparently 2 eagles have been spotted in the gardens, perhaps the new female and old male, near the old nest.
Speaking of audo - It's a shame that SD doesn't have sound because ZZ who has climbed very high on her structure is letting out a few yells! It's like she want to lie down but can't find enough surface to do so & she really almost fell forward...
not sure yet, Paula. But they think the old mom has not been spotted in the garden since Thursday. THe pair they are seeing is the new female and original male.
Thanks, Jo, that will be fun to see and hear! I love looking down on the eagles moving around. I finally got PH to come up and stay up today. Of course, it is empty right now.
Ho Ho Bai came up to ZZ at the top of the structure. I think just to show ZZ how to get down, but ZZ just can't get the hang of it to go Butt First......
Perhaps wishful thinking, Jim. No one has been seen in the nest for days. They will go up and retrieve the eggs for research info as soon as they find volunteers. An eagle pair has been seen at the odl nest site
Megan - Can you give us a Tinyurl link to where the NBG info is?
Deb - Another program at the YMCS thru the Wellness center at Hosp. It isn't covered by insurance - $$ - I do have treadmill & bike at my home. I may do it on my own. Just felt good being monitored while you exercised (blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen level)
I see that white, too, but I've been watching for a while now, no one flew in. It's either fluff or one of the old egegs. No link, Jo, I'm in the chat room and someone from the gardens gave us that info.
Megan - That turkey is good for a couple of Thanksgiving Day dinners!
I am really ready for beautiful SPRING flowers! Easter comes early this year - do you plant after Easter or have you already started them. GH heating up ok?
getting ready to sow seeds soon, Jo. Waiting for my tax return $$. That turkey ws in my yard last year, biggest one I've ever seen. He was trying to impress about 5 female turkeys.
J: Not today but if you are in Norfolk TV area Joe Flanagan did a tv piece on WVEC 13 which will air at 5 p.m. and the 2 eagles were filmedJJ: Permission has been given to remove NBG eggs for testingJJ: Lining up tree company volunteers to asssistJJ: We may still get some new eggs as new female and nest male were on the old nest today but not seen matingJJ: Have not seen old female since Thurs
Hi, Eagle lovers! Good to see you on here MITS and SHARON. Not much happening at this end - except that it's getting colder. We saw a few snow flakes a little while ago. There were so few of them, you had to stare to be sure they were in the air. JO - you mentioned flowers. I have snow crocuses blooming in my yard. they are always a lot earlier than the regular corcuses, but they are smaller. I also have a few snowdrops blooming. So - spring is on its way!
GREAT GREAT NEWS JO!!! Yep, we have to keep moving don't we? They say if you don't use it you lose it...So glad you passed on to the next phase.(((Hugs)))
Fred: For local residents in WVEC TV area there will be update on the bald eagle saga on the 5:30 news this evening. It will then be posted on the WVEC.com web site.
Remember when we all were saying "can you see anything a head popping up anything fuzzy" at Tesoro. Due to the nest was so deep. Now look at those eaglets ( : Time just keeps on moving. Doesn't it? Now we have no trouble seeing those chicks/eaglets lol
DANA- one of the links I read said they had permission to go get the eggs and were looking for a tree company to help, so I would guess the eggs are still there. Also the new female and resident male were on the old nest. (Correct if I got that backwards, folks.)
Howdy folks good to see this beautiful sunny day outside... Jo congrats your getting stronger and healthier by the day girlfriend... Sharon & Mits good to see ya stopped by and continued recovery for you both... I am waitng on sister to get here daughter made a big pot of beef slippery pot pie with tators.. so we are going over there... Tomorrow i take herto get her stitches out and as far as i know going to ride to Blackwater also.. I have been busy working on this comp bought a new Fix It Utilites 8.. Keeps your PC running like new.. 1 click of the botton it cleans out everything and the comps runs so much better.. If nterested Wal Mart was either 29 or 39.00 Professional... Easy to install.. step by step guidence.. Well c ya'll in awhile...
Thanks Paula I went and checked them out. I like it how you can increase or decrease the pictures. Zoomed in to 400% female really has a different beak more pointed at end. May their love bring forth eaglets to Norfolk. Sorry for the resident female though really SAD :( Feel like the male cheated on his wife oh mother nature the woooo's of it all.
Dana, thanks for asking. I am still feeling pretty whipped. Between the flu and my low hemoglobin and low iron, this last week has taken its toll on my wimpy butt!
Apparently female eagles mate for life, males take up with the first young one that comes along. Sound familiar????????? LOL Maybe all this exposure to humans isn't good for the birds.
Good morning, world! Just followed Steve's link to the Norfolk article. Depressing! Was really hoping that eagle pair would be successful, and we could watch. Now guess we just wait and see what is going to happen to the eagle pair, interloper, and the eggs. Not bad out, but very windy! Temp is as high now as it's going to get, it's all down hill from here. It was 33° in PA, 38° here in VA. Well, besides Norfolk, will have to go back and see what I missed. All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
It is depressing to see the Norfolk family disrupted and the eggs left exposed to the elements. Guess we had better be grateful that it hasn't struck the eagles at Shepherdstown or BW ...although pretty much the same thing happened at the BW Osprey nest last season.
I don't like the process, especially after the young-rearing cycle has started, but Mother nature didn't consult me, and she's going to do it her way regardless of what I think.
Hope you had a good 3-day weekend... Glad to see you back.
Yes, Jim, it is very depressing! I went to the site and looked at the pics of the female intruder. Guess the mate has left the nest, and I hate to see things like that. But isn't it unusual for an intruder female to incubate the eggs? They showed incubation continuing after the intruder took over. But hae to admit, can't see any eagle on the nest this morning. It's dark, but usually can see a white head. Had a good 3-day weekend, but they sure spoil me! Had a very hard time going to sleep last night, and so had a hard time getting up this morning. But nice to be back, I guess.

Hau Kola, to you, Jo. Are you ready to see some anunkasan today!
I hope they spot the eagles in NBG today, the zoomer was just looking for them.
NORMA, loved your Moose story. (Sorry for the Moose)
South Dakota's winter count for eagles is out, down 1.5% to last year. It is hard to count my area depending on weather, boats, fisherman. North side of the river is SD, south side of the river is Nebraska. I need to check out the details yet. Last year's count was 226.
Donna - prayers for your daughter
Please keep us updated!
Norma - I was thinking that Danelle would be giving us info - but I guess she hasn't seen Sandra as an out-patient rehab..
Hi Geula!
BBL Off to exercise - get my walking test today!!
Filling in at Bridge today!!---Later!!
Some great views of the Tesoro chicks today
Eagle at BWO
back
I can't remember who all I said Good Morning too. So Good Morning everyone ( :
Went outside to get paper and it is nice out there. Still need long sleeves of course.
Can see eaglets big yellow feet at Tesoro!
Eggs were just turned a couple of minutes ago our nest
I know Paula I was chuckling at them they are getting darker
Eagle at Kent 1.
Eagle at West End
Eagles Eagles everywhere :):)
2 at BC
Eagle at Kent 1 is just sitting on the branch. Come on, it's time to get to work!!
It is #01 the male at WE
I love watching the Barton cove nest, is that what ours will be like when it goes live?
Female #26 sits at PH
Turning eggs at our nest
OUr 3 eggs are looking good!
Eagle gone at WE
Oh my beautiful fly in #01 male at WE with nice branch
I have to chuckle at him. He has the bottom in the nest. The rest is sticking up in the air. He pulls down on it to try and fix it in the nest. It flings back up lol
Dana - sounds like you got neokast working ok - how do you like the new cam?
Eagle left at Kent 1, just spent time hanging out in the fog.
Here it is 1:20pm and I haven't caught up yet...do you suppose I ever will? Still working on it.
(grin) You guys type faster than I can read!!!
I am so glad to see that you saw the eagle at the Kent cam l nest. I was at work when I spotted it and couldn't get through on the blog to tell anyone. I am home now.
Juvie eagle at BWO!!
Ha, BWO eagle had me fooled while preening..it's an adult!
Iris I love your new picture "what a nice looking couple" wow!!
Paula so far so good does have a little wavy lines but color is nice. I don't get SC/PH on it. It still comes through wmp.
One eagle hanging out at BWO while the other sits on the eggs at BWE
Parent shading chicks at Tesoro
Cold front moving through we are suppose to get wind gust and we are.
OK, finally! Have NeoKast up and working and can see the WE nest and have SOUND!! Hooray!!! or WooHoo!!!
And, almost caught up with emails and blog....and ftloe forum - mercy need lots of energy to be an eagleholic!!!
Thanks Dana, that's our 52nd anniversary picture...working on 54th now.
Fish meal just flew into Tesoro
Yes it does Iris ... wow the emails. Especially when something sent to Eagle_Momsters then someone replies and someone else replies they lol keep adding up.
So glad you got Neokast worked out Iris so you can see WE and Two Harbors. I guess SC/PH will go there too don't know. I get it on wmp now.
So now Iris that you are an expert you can help others with Vista.
Two eagles at BWE nest now
Parent change time.
Our parent up and rolling eggs again, I think.
Apparently yhte people at Norfolk BG have been given permission to go up and retrieve the eggs, I guess so they can test them to see if they were fertile and pehaps at least glean some reaeaarch info from them. And WVEC in Va should have a story later today on the situation. ALso, apparently 2 eagles have been spotted in the gardens, perhaps the new female and old male, near the old nest.
SC/PH cam will not be changing...will still be WMP
Hmmm, interesting news out of Norfolk
When are they going to retrieve the eggs - any idea Megan?
I was wondering if anyone was checking out the old nest.. Could be old dad & old mom flying around...lol
Well, I passed my Walking Test today & graduated from Pulmonary Exercise Rehab. Now just to keep up the exercising!
Deb Our live cam will look like the BC cam. But we'll have audio!
Speaking of audo - It's a shame that SD doesn't have sound because ZZ who has climbed very high on her structure is letting out a few yells!
It's like she want to lie down but can't find enough surface to do so & she really almost fell forward...
It is snowing in Barton Cove.
Our cam will also be using Real Player....
Congrats Jo on passing. You just took another step forward in the right direction. Hooray for you!
not sure yet, Paula. But they think the old mom has not been spotted in the garden since Thursday. THe pair they are seeing is the new female and original male.
I just signed back on and opened Norfolk again...
I think I see the white head of an eagle in the nest.
Take a look.
[:~)]
Jim
Thanks, Jo, that will be fun to see and hear! I love looking down on the eagles moving around. I finally got PH to come up and stay up today. Of course, it is empty right now.
Ho Ho Bai came up to ZZ at the top of the structure. I think just to show ZZ how to get down, but ZZ just can't get the hang of it to go Butt First......
Perhaps wishful thinking, Jim. No one has been seen in the nest for days. They will go up and retrieve the eggs for research info as soon as they find volunteers. An eagle pair has been seen at the odl nest site
Why did I type that? As soon as I posted I lost PH. It goes so far and then starts replaying the same thing over, weird.
Afternoon, Jim. Congrats, Jo. Are you on your own for exercises now?
Too Funny! ZZ just slid headfirst
down the log and Bai is up on her hind feet ready to catch her. Bai does reach for her and lifts her down.
Bai just grabbed ZZ and pulled her down from the lower branches of the structure. Now they're playing on the ground.
[:~)]
Jim
Megan - Can you give us a Tinyurl link to where the NBG info is?
Deb - Another program at the YMCS thru the Wellness center at Hosp.
It isn't covered by insurance - $$ -
I do have treadmill & bike at my home. I may do it on my own. Just felt good being monitored while you exercised (blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen level)
Jim I do see the white dot in the middle of the new NBG nest on the cam. Yes, it could pass as an adult eagle's head.
Nice egg roll Our nest.
Could easily be behind the times, but I see two eagles on WE nest, and PH is up on my machine..I think.
[:~)]
Jim
I see that white, too, but I've been watching for a while now, no one flew in. It's either fluff or one of the old egegs. No link, Jo, I'm in the chat room and someone from the gardens gave us that info.
If there were an eagle in VA, I'm sure they would zoom in....it's just that white stuff at the nest edge
Actually think the white is coming from behind the nest...background
Right5m, PAula, they would zoom in, they have been scanning the gardens with the cam occasionally to try to catch sight of the eagles.
oh pardon my typos, not feeling well, fingers are not working...
Megan - That turkey is good for a couple of Thanksgiving Day dinners!
I am really ready for beautiful SPRING flowers! Easter comes early this year - do you plant after Easter or have you already started them. GH heating up ok?
They are looking around now...at VA
getting ready to sow seeds soon, Jo. Waiting for my tax return $$. That turkey ws in my yard last year, biggest one I've ever seen. He was trying to impress about 5 female turkeys.
HO HO That was my next ??? Megan
Are you in the chat room...
Keep us updated as you have been!
Thanks so much
I am going for an hour panda snooze.

J: Not today but if you are in Norfolk TV area Joe Flanagan did a tv piece on WVEC 13 which will air at 5 p.m. and the 2 eagles were filmedJJ: Permission has been given to remove NBG eggs for testingJJ: Lining up tree company volunteers to asssistJJ: We may still get some new eggs as new female and nest male were on the old nest today but not seen matingJJ: Have not seen old female since Thurs
I did VA nest full screen and the white spot is in the nest and resembles an eagle, but it is not enlarged enough to be sure it is an eagle.
[:~)]
Jim
Hi, Eagle lovers! Good to see you on here MITS and SHARON. Not much happening at this end - except that it's getting colder. We saw a few snow flakes a little while ago. There were so few of them, you had to stare to be sure they were in the air. JO - you mentioned flowers. I have snow crocuses blooming in my yard. they are always a lot earlier than the regular corcuses, but they are smaller. I also have a few snowdrops blooming. So - spring is on its way!
Don't know if the Hummingbird chick has fledged yet, but one is hanging off the nearer edge of the nest...
[:~)]
Jim
I haven't seen it fledge yet, Jim, but it is sure watching Mom fly around right now. It probably won't be long now.
Mits was on, and I missed her!!
How are you feeling, Mits?? Did you get my ecard?
[:~)]
Jim
GREAT GREAT NEWS JO!!! Yep, we have to keep moving don't we? They say if you don't use it you lose it...So glad you passed on to the next phase.(((Hugs)))

This Hummer nest seems to be getting torn apart too....

Jim
Yea, Dana, still down for me too
Where's it playing JILL
You know we need to go - Wanda will get the Eagle Coach to get us there!
Oprah is covering it right now. Jim Carrey, Steve Carrell and others are the voices. It starts March 4 I think. I will listen for more details.
The Kent Forum is up However if you try to put FTLOE or the Maine Forum up you get the same message about the update....
Urgent Maintenance
We are adding new server to prepare for phpBB version 3.0.
Expected downtime will be around 2-4 hours.
Remember when we all were saying "can you see anything a head popping up anything fuzzy" at Tesoro. Due to the nest was so deep. Now look at those eaglets ( :
Time just keeps on moving. Doesn't it? Now we have no trouble seeing those chicks/eaglets lol
JO- Carol Burnett is the voice of Horton's Kangaroo friend.
House cleaning at Tesoro
ZZ is hugging and loving her branch again... Bai is tearing into her bamboo cache.

I wonder if the eggs are all gone out of nest now. Looks empty.

DANA- one of the links I read said they had permission to go get the eggs and were looking for a tree company to help, so I would guess the eggs are still there. Also the new female and resident male were on the old nest. (Correct if I got that backwards, folks.)

Nilla glad your sister is feeling better. Enjoy your trip to BW. You going to snap some pictures? ( :
Check out VA cam for new pics of Dad and new female
Thanks Paula I went and checked them out. I like it how you can increase or decrease the pictures. Zoomed in to 400% female really has a different beak more pointed at end. May their love bring forth eaglets to Norfolk. Sorry for the resident female though really SAD
:( Feel like the male cheated on his wife oh mother nature the woooo's of it all.
Two eagles at West End
both eagles at SC/PH
And one eagle at the sycamore tree! Hello Dana.
The snow is really coming down in PA.
Hi ( : Sharon nice seeing you this evening. How are you feeling?
Dana, thanks for asking. I am still feeling pretty whipped. Between the flu and my low hemoglobin and low iron, this last week has taken its toll on my wimpy butt!
When do you do a re-check with your doctor?
Dana, I couldn't get an appointment with the hematologist until 3/12. I am taking iron twice a day so hopefully that will build me back up some.
Oh, you are not wimpy, eagle eye
Thank you Megan.
No problem, don't think there's to many wimps here, we're one tough bunch :)
Here is the link to the WVEC news story on the Norfolk eagles. Also, they have 3 new pics on the website

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY/GOOD MORNING TO SUZANNE AND THE EARLY BIRDERS.

Apparently female eagles mate for life, males take up with the first young one that comes along. Sound familiar????????? LOL Maybe all this exposure to humans isn't good for the birds.
Hey Jill...wouldn't you know it, we got our notice to appear March 5. I guess we should go there and talk to them. Don't you think that is best?
Good Night and TOKSHA
Restful sleep & pleasant dreams
Prayers being said for all our needs
Good Morning Suzanne & Early Birds
I sure hope Nora finds a new mate. I wonder what the chances of that are for this season?
Good Night Jo, rest well.
Well, Sharon, I am going to put my "Wimpy Butt" to bed now; I hope you put yours there a long time ago. Flu need lots of rest!
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Ok JO, you need to explain all these words...toksha...and the other one...
Paula - Open Deb's blog
She always explains her avatar
Good night everyone, prayers for all!!! Especially Nora, hope she is OK tonight...
For everyone that wonders, in Lakota, the native language spoken by the Sioux Indians near me:
Hau Kola= Hello, Friend
Toksha=till we meet again.
And of course:
Wanbli Gleska=juvenile eagle
Anunkasan=adult eagle
Did you ever wonder why they always said Hau to the Natives in cowboy movies?? Now you know!
OUr eagle is snoozing, gonna go do the same....
Kewl, thanks Deb and JO
I hadn't clicked on your indian yet...
WANDA-Call them and explaing the situation, they will work something out.
Good morning, world! Just followed Steve's link to the Norfolk article. Depressing! Was really hoping that eagle pair would be successful, and we could watch. Now guess we just wait and see what is going to happen to the eagle pair, interloper, and the eggs.
Not bad out, but very windy! Temp is as high now as it's going to get, it's all down hill from here. It was 33° in PA, 38° here in VA.
Well, besides Norfolk, will have to go back and see what I missed. All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Egg turning time, our nest. Still 3 beautiful eggs there!
Good morning, Suzanne..
It is depressing to see the Norfolk family disrupted and the eggs left exposed to the elements. Guess we had better be grateful that it hasn't struck the eagles at Shepherdstown or BW ...although pretty much the same thing happened at the BW Osprey nest last season.
I don't like the process, especially after the young-rearing cycle has started, but Mother nature didn't consult me, and she's going to do it her way regardless of what I think.
Hope you had a good 3-day weekend... Glad to see you back.

Yes, Jim, it is very depressing! I went to the site and looked at the pics of the female intruder. Guess the mate has left the nest, and I hate to see things like that. But isn't it unusual for an intruder female to incubate the eggs? They showed incubation continuing after the intruder took over. But hae to admit, can't see any eagle on the nest this morning. It's dark, but usually can see a white head.
Had a good 3-day weekend, but they sure spoil me! Had a very hard time going to sleep last night, and so had a hard time getting up this morning. But nice to be back, I guess.
