Good morning everyone. Darn I so hate reading about Belle and snow in that tree. I hope it stops very very quick. Suzanne must have decided to not com ein today. We shall miss her.
GOOD MORNING GLO, Yes, Suz wisely stayed home today. Glad we don't have to worry about her driving in this stuff. What is the weather like in Illinois?
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---THANKS STEVEN!----CONGRATS!--WANDA--#1 EAGLE MOMA TODAY!!---It's a beautiful COLD---SNOWY WINTER a.m. here in WV----"HOME OF BELLE & LIBERTY"---temp. 19°----Schools in the eastern panhandle are CLOSED today!!----Wouldn't it be COOL to be a student this a.m.???---ho!----It's a GLORIOUS DAY today--SO ENJOY & BUILD A SNOWMAN!!!--at least throw a SNOWBALL!!!! ho!
GOOD SNOWY MORNING MISS NORMA... It's too cold to go out and build a snowman. I just stepped outside to see if it was still snowing and almost froze my ---- off!
MORNIN' GLO!---Let's hope weather is not going to be as bad as forecast!!----every now & then they are wrong! ho!---for the sake of the ROYAL FAMILY!!!
The weather in Illinois absolutely stinks. It is 10 degrees though. That is 20 degrees warmer than Sunday morning my dogs might actually be able to walk if it weren't for the inches of rutted ice all over the place and ice melt pretty well all sold out in all the stores. No Big deal its been so cold it hardly even works anyway. iris told me to go get some kitty litter. Got it on my list. Lucked out thouhg. We were supposed to get 3 to 6 more inches of snow last night but it went north of us. Now at least we can still see the ice before we walk or drive on it. Its everywhere and nOT going to be melting anytime soon.
I don't see any snow at NZOO!!!---The 'LITTLE PRINCE' is COLD!!---He is all huddled up on HIS grill!!---bless his little heart!!!----MEI is taking a bamboo break!!!! ---think TAI wants to send you KISSES HELEN!! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Glo's weather makes our area seem quite mild. Those ice ruts are really bad and when you have freezing weather all the time, it seems they stay all Winter.
BWE & BWO----Lisa says they have ordered a new dish modem----I saw the EAGLE in BWE----The BWO platform has had all the sticks & straw blown out of it with the HEAVY WINDS!!----the birds will refill it!!
Good Morning Wanda, Glo, Norma, Dana And Whoever is watching...
Well, I see some snow, hope that is all the snow we have on that nest this winter!!! Keep telling myself if the Eagles can manage to survive out there close to Glo all winter as cold as it is there, then "Ours" will be OK.....
Love and Prayers to all, especially Sandra, Helen, Sharon, Nilla and Vicky this morning...
Morning all. Snowy day here in NW PA. Good day to stay home. Hope the weather clears for the weekend. DD is coming in for a quick visit from Anchorage. She won't be bringing BLT though. Tesoro came up but no one showing.
Thank you Norma, so far, they are working better than the twinkling roses. Belle was trying to catch some zzzz's and was awakened by something. It has begun to snow again, very lightly... 19°.
MORNIN' LYNNE!!----Am I spelling your name correctly?---I will GUESS---not bring BLT means---Daughter is coming with out the grand-kids??----I am learning--I hope!!----She lives in AK??---COOL!
Hi All, I mentioned prayers for Vicky because she also (along with Nilla and Sharon) has the "crud"... She's on antibiotics and something else trying to get over it.
Hate to see or hear of anyone who has this junk....GET WELL EVERYONE!
Norma I think the VA lady just blew 2 kisses at you!!! (((HUGS))) to you!
WOW Look at Wanda's Avatar You did something right because now I see a valentine! I will certainly add Vicky to prayer list! It had started to snow before I went to bed last evening - ground was covered.. Happy to see very little in the nest!
While I am at it, let me ask for your prayers tomorrow. I will have Cataract surgery at 2:00p.m.
Sure hope it does not snow any more in WV today!! There is plenty of snow in the nest - don't need any more!!! Stay warm Belle & Lib and keep those eggs warm too!
MORNIN' MOVIN'JIM & MEMA JO!!--- JIM---I bet you wish you had SNOW like we do!! huh?----our temp is up to 21° now!!----At least it's moving in the right direction!!---JO!--You stay WARM!!

Normabyrd you are correct. When DD first moved to Anchorage there was an eagle's nest just a couple of blocks from her house. After my stint in PA is over, I plan to go there for a year or two, Lord willing. I think you could say that I have eagle connections--DD in AK, DS in ME , and LB(little brother) in Norfolk. I am the only one interested in birds, however. Off to the eaglet naming site. BBL
Good Morning Folks.. Its really snowing here and right now i am back to feeling yucky again and cruddy... I watched the video and what an amazing vid to watch... Belle is honkered down once again... i feeling confident that after last years tragedy they have put the egg cup deeper and WE ALL have the faith everything is ok... Prayers to ALL.. going back to lay down bellies doin the flip flop again... yuckyyy
Just stopped in to say Hi. Have to take the cat to the vet. Allergic to fleas and somehow one flea managed to get in the house and head upstairs to the cat. Now he has a sore on his back from scratching and won't stop til he gets meds. He never goes out, won't come around when the dogs are in the house and still manages to find a flea. Go figure.
Good Morning costume lady,glo, normabyrd. we are getting some freezing rain today and that makes driving bad. I hope that everyone has a great eagle day.
Before i leave to lay down had to change avitar to JAZZY because SHE is my VALENTINE!!! Those BIG BLUE EYES MELT YOUR HEART.. NANA LOVES YOU SO MUCH!!!
grannyblt Just read the rules of entering the Tesoro chick naming contest..... I knew you were 18 yrs old plus & couldn't understand why you couldn't enter... now I know. The PalmBeachPost sure doesn't know how many eagle watchers are out here!!! Guess they just want to keep it local BUT like most local events - the Locals don't know much!
Well Dana there is a link on the Feedblitz about yesterdays intruder at Norfolk, but glad you were able to follow the link here. I always put something like click here for video on..... to help folks find the links
Belle is starting to do some tenting and rolling now. Darn it I just hate to see this no matter how deep that egg well is. Why can't they just have a nice easy smoothe sail this year. I know that is NOT natures way but argh anyway.
Just received an email from Helen & she said that her sisters, Ceil and Mary Margaret, arrived Sunday night. What a blessing, they are taking excellent care of me and I am doing well. Can't believe it has been a week. Cleaned out all my e-mails yesterday. Ceil has been catching me up on the blog. pls tell everyone on the blog thanks for all the prayers, and will be praying for Iris tomorrow.
Good morning, everyone! I am lagging behind today, must be because I know I have to go out and snowblow as the plows have been by already. They must have started on my side of town today.
ATLANTA'S MEI & LUN LUN are having a bamboo break!!----Little One is lying back with bamboo in both hands----Alternates her bites---ho!---One from the LEFT--next from the RIGHT!!!---SHE IS A TRIP!!!
Well this snow might turn into something more that was thought.. My weather updater still says 18 here... Good news from Mits Jo hopefully she is on her way to afull recovery always good to have sisters around..... I just opened my blinds in dining room and curtains pushed them back out of the way because those kitten have my shears a mess.. %$#^$! anyone want some kittens?lol Jill might be an accident out on 81 big rigs are rolling thru here usually when an accident they send down Winchester Ave... Roads are getting bad waiting to watch Lie'n Lou on 25 Jill for weather too...
DEB---Did I miss my 'good morning' to you?----I have been flying around getting dressed---in case they bring my car back today!!--I thought they were to bring it yesterday!!----Our temp is up to 23° now----GETTING THERE!!!
Late afertoon all, hope you are all as well as you can be today. Just read back all todays posts, took me ages, boy I must be a slow reader. OH Janet,so sorry to still hear your honking pet. Iris pet thinking of you for tomorrow at 2pm. wondeful new from Helen. and to everyone else who is feeling yukky I hope you feel better very soon.
I've voted for the Tesoro Chicks, I'll tell you what names I've chosen if you ask, but until then I'm a bit embarrassed, cos the names I've picked are soppy ones.
I cant bear to see Belle sitting there in all that snow, I just want to wrap her in a duvet to keep her warm and toasty.
NEARLY TIME for prayers, so I'll shut up now and speak later.
Oh no! I just checked in on Belle and she is covered in snow. I can't stand it. Of course, I guess if she was anywhere, she would still have snow on her.
Prayers done and candles lit, so I'mm off to make a masive pan of chicken soup to warm me up.
Janet, you can't get rid of your kitties like that pet,,,I'd have them but I don't think my twins would have them in the house, place some little voil bags of Sage and Thyme on your window ledge, they don't like that and your shears will stay kitten proof pet.
RIGHT off to cook, be back later if my provider will let me. Speak soon,take care all, love and hugs Chrissy XXXXXXX
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but this weather is going to get alot worse... Freezin rain sleet Ice AND Big STORM HEADING IN FOR SUNDAY.. Geeezzzz Belle button down the hatches.. Lets get to praying folks... She is covered with snow on wings now... I say climb the tree and cover her with a electric blanket...
MORNIN' CHRISSY!!---What's your lovely weather like?----We have had snow---now it's a toss up---between & rain!!---Temp. is up to 24° NOW----Hey this is a good day for some of your veggie stew!! ho!!
HAHAHA thanks Chrissy for that tip,, these 2 kittens are nuts they sleep for hours n get up and run like wild lunitics thru the house then if im am sleeping they run on the bed and jump n bounce off my head... lol But i love them... poor Sugahhh just watches them but he also gives them bathes and lets them love on him...Wanda i see your avitar now its pretty... hey could you put the link to Tessa's page please?
Yes Nilla The weather doesn't sound too good. The good news is all that padding and fluff and the eggs are fairly new. They are not 30 plus days grown with embryos right up against edge of shell etc. But they surely need to be staying warm and dry as possible. Lord Bless their hearts I am already praying for that nest family
Something has caught Belles attention she is looking around and wide awake... I just got news from a very dear friend of many years she lost her sister this morning at 7:25am .. Her name is Melony keep her and her family in your prayers also..
I feel that same way Glo NONE of us want to relive last years events.. WE ALL MUST KEEP THE FAITH these eggs are big and strong and Belle & Lib are the best parents... I dont want to watch bring back those memories BUT loving them i cant not worry and watch as im am sure others feel.. Thanks Wanda will check it out sometimes right now have enough to make me sad..
Made it back from Hagerstown. No wreck on 81 just a truck broke down at the bridge, not quite off the road. Plenty of room in both lanes but people are slamming on brakes and moving left anyway.
Drew is allergic to fleas. (DUH) Got a shot and antibiotic. He will be fine soon.
Hope the weather doesn't change to ice. Hubby is at work in Baltimore and can't leave til 4. Seems to have quit snowing for the moment.
Well thats good to hear no wreck Jill.. Yes see i knew i wasnt luney!!! Belle now has head tucked in wing sleeping... Man Jill the City has been busy throwing them in the pokey.. Arent ya glad your not working...lol Hope your cat gets better thank God mine doesnt have those issues they stay in all but Kittums and i have flea collar on her.. I am hoping daughter closes store so i dont need to go to work at 4pm...
Belles awake again looking around.. Jill ya dont think that hand print is helping her push another egg out do ya she is restless..lol Heaven forbid that right now!!! Norma no sun here in Martinsburg although road seems to be melting until sleet and ice hits in alittle while...
JILL----How's your kitten?----I wanted to tell you to 'GOOGLE' FLAMINGO----You will learn more than you ever wanted to know!!!--When I can't spell something---I GOOGLE my spelling & you will find the correct spelling that way too!----I GOOGLE everything!!!!----ENJOYING your vacation?---Hope you are feeling better & you will get to do some FUN things!!!
Drew never ever goes outside. Scared to death. But occasionally the dogs bring a flea in, which promptly goes upstairs and finds the cat. One lousy flea will send him into fits. You can tell when he has one. He acts like your kittens, running around like a maniac.
Yes Janet, get out of jail free days ended last night at midnight. Now it is Mike and I til next Wednesday. Cross the line, get a free vacation at Hotel ERJ. LOL.
Norma, I think Paula Googled Flamingos yesterday. Sent out a nice little article about what they eat that makes them turn pink. It was crustaceans and something else. Anybody remember? I guess I flunked that test huh?
Yes she is Wanda but then again we all have beautiful granbabies to be proud of on here... No not feeling better but being here keeps my mind off the rumblin n my belly n headache...
I am done with this snow, all blown out. More snow tomorrow night, but that means over 24 hours for them to change their forecast. I hope they do. We got about 3.5" this time.
By the way Glo or Paula i am going to be needing to order 2 mouse pads.. Wish we had 1 made up with a picture of the new 3 eggs this year? Any chance of that happening?
Gene is taking me and my Mom out for Crab Legs Friday night for Valentines Day, hope I don't turn pink. I have eaten enough of them to either turn pink or get very crabby.
Think pink—and orange? With their bright feathers and strongly hooked bills, flamingos are among the most easily recognized waterbirds. Their pink or reddish color comes from the rich sources of carotenoid pigments (like the pigments of carrots) in the algae and small crustaceans that the birds eat. The Caribbean flamingos Phoenicopterus ruber ruber are the brightest, showing their true colors of red, pink, or orange on their legs, bills, and faces.
I think NCIS will be a rerun. Not sure about Big Brother. Only guarantee not to be a rerun is American Idol. I think it will be a couple of weeks before we see "new" programs.
I love watching American Idol just to hear Paula n Randy get on Simon like they do..lol I say we raise money so next year a solor pane heated nest warmer can be installed in the middle down afew inches to keep it nice and cozy.. Just a thought but not enought to set nest on fire... I havent seen any food maybe thats what she is looking for Wanda...
Oops Glo has seen food come and go fast.. maybe she is still hungry... GloBug hows your weather out your way seen u have snow also... Hope Vick get better soon too...
normabyrd said... NILLA----I saw 'SPUNKY' fly by the area & "SHE" asked to send you GET WELL WISHES & KISSES!!!-------XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Oohhhhhhhhhhh Norma thats the very best VALENTINES gift i could recieve to see her and know she is ok!!! But then again this year we have 3 and might need to name the 3rd 1 Feisty!!!!! Oh ihope she reserved a poop shot for Jo for VALENTINES DAY.. Hey Jo duck when ya go out side...lol
hi all! I've been so busy today that I haven't had time to read all the posts. It looks like Belle is keeping still. I hope the eggs make it this year!
My weather stinks LOL and now I am on my way to work. Maye if it all snows here it can stop snowing there. That will work for me heck its all sort of blending in now anyway.
well it looks as though Belle has did an excellent job of keeping the snow away from eggs and the fluff at least couple inches from her withher wing spread she did!!! Hi Danelle good to see ya... Belle sure is watching something i hope its Lib with food or coming to exchange the nesting...
Jill - I didn't know animals could be allergic to fleas until this past fall...dog had them, and had to go on antibiotics and prednisone...haven't had fleas in 10 years...don't know where they came from either!
So time for go get ready for work.. All is well in the nest.. My thought for today is this: " REMEMBER ITS BAD TO SUPPRESS LAUGHTER IT GOES BACK DOWN AND SPREADS TO YOUR HIPS"
Paula, my cat never goes outside and very seldom comes downstairs so the fleas had to go up to him. Cat won't come down when dogs are in the house. And dogs don't go up. And I have found it only takes one flea. Last time we had to go to the vet, we never saw the flea, just flea dirt and very little of that. This time he really did have fleas so we used advantage but he still kept scratching. Dug a hole in his back and stomach.
Don't know what is going on at Norfolk. They have had the camera way way back. Then they found an eagle sitting far away from nest. No eagle on nest. Now they gone into the nest. Now far far back away still no eagle to be found this time.
Well, I just voted three times here in Florida for the names for the Tesoro Chicks. If any of you have names you want me to send in, just let me know... if you will you will have to share the prize with me, OK??? just kidding. I do live in one of the counties mentioned as being eligible. irisfreily @ gmail dot com, OK? put it together and you have my address.
Thanks Mits and all for sending up prayers for me tomorrow, I really appreciate it.
Hard to look at this nest and not remember last year, but this is nothing by comparison to that deluge of snow...hope it stays that way.
some body any body watching whatcha think is going on?????? they are searching the trees now all around... Oh my its snowing to beat the band here again....
Jim They think it is another female Maine Forum under the Norfolk title has the best reports due to the fact that some of the Zoomers blog on that site......
Thanks for that link Jo some great pics taken of the eagles... She sure defended the nest friercly....But honestly although i watch those nest i prefer to stay here at homebase and blog...Once n awhile ill go have alook see... But glad ya'll do go and keep us informed... Oh no its snowing so hard right now.. I think we are in for along night folks!!!!
Iris, it just started snowing hard again here. So far it is a dry snow. Belle and Lib are sure taking good care of this pretty eggs. And you take care of those pretty eyes. You will be able to see without glasses when you get them both done. My Mom did very well with her surgery about 2 yrs. ago. No pain, no problem. Prayers for you. (((HUGS)))

Maybe my Avatar will work better with a new thread. It kept disappearing on the old thread. Very strange.
I'd like to see Lib and Belle share a big fresh fish right now and get some nourishment before the sleet and ice comes.
Good morning everyone. Darn I so hate reading about Belle and snow in that tree. I hope it stops very very quick. Suzanne must have decided to not com ein today. We shall miss her.
It is only 18° right now, going up to 30° with more snow and sleet later today.
Wanda Is that a new avatar you have? Ya know we could just all think of it as one little red kiss there in the upper left hand corner of the box.
GOOD MORNING GLO,
Yes, Suz wisely stayed home today. Glad we don't have to worry about her driving in this stuff. What is the weather like in Illinois?

No, not a new Avatar, Glo. I am going to search for a new one and see if it works any better.
Now that she has moved around in the nest, I think this must be Belle. Hard to tell with the snow around her.
GOOD SNOWY MORNING MISS NORMA...

Norma you are in a kissey kissey mood. Valentines Day isn't here yet. lol
"herd" A bunch of donkeys lol
Tomorrow it is suppose to be 40° so anything we get will melt.
Glo's weather makes our area seem quite mild. Those ice ruts are really bad and when you have freezing weather all the time, it seems they stay all Winter.
Nesting material is nicely tucked around the chest area where the eggs are. Goodie ( :
Yes Wanda your avaitor is there sometimes and sometimes not. Sorry..
GOOD MORNING DANA...
Yep, 40° is good!
NILLA----I saw 'SPUNKY' fly by the area & "SHE" asked to send you GET WELL WISHES & KISSES!!!-------XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

BWE & BWO----Lisa says they have ordered a new dish modem----I saw the EAGLE in BWE----The BWO platform has had all the sticks & straw blown out of it with the HEAVY WINDS!!----the birds will refill it!!
I am trying a new avatar, it has a lot of blinkys, so it may not be any better than the other one...but here goes.
I think we need breakfast in the nest, Belle looks hungry.
I'm wondering if Belle gets up off the nest to eat, how long she will leave the eggs uncovered in these fridged temps.
Good Morning Wanda, Glo, Norma, Dana And Whoever is watching...
Well, I see some snow, hope that is all the snow we have on that nest this winter!!! Keep telling myself if the Eagles can manage to survive out there close to Glo all winter as cold as it is there, then "Ours" will be OK.....
Love and Prayers to all, especially Sandra, Helen, Sharon, Nilla and Vicky this morning...
Going to catch up...see you later

Tesoro came up but no one showing.
ME NEST---MT---Beautiful sunny weather there--snow covered nest!!
Thank you Norma, so far, they are working better than the twinkling roses.

Sure hope it does not snow any more in WV today!! There is plenty of snow in the nest - don't need any more!!! Stay warm Belle & Lib and keep those eggs warm too!
Norfolk just fended off another attack. I feel badly for this pair this year. Its kind of rough there at times for those eagles.
MORNIN' MOVIN'JIM & MEMA JO!!---
JIM---I bet you wish you had SNOW like we do!! huh?----our temp is up to 21° now!!----At least it's moving in the right direction!!---JO!--You stay WARM!!
Glo: It is another eagle isn't it that is attacking their nest... I was watching some of the videos over on the other forums........
BW cams stuck on last night....
PH nest is MT
What was the intruder Glo at NBG?
Good Morning Jo, Grannyblt, Jim and Glo.
NBG is having a tough time day and night.
Snowing more here again.
IRIS!!---Will be keeping you in my thoughts & prayers tomorrow at 2:00!!----
Jo what is going on at Norfolk?? Did the parent have to go off the eggs to defend the nest?
Iris I will be glad to pray for your surgery. I will add you to the 12 noon prayer list I have. ((((hugs)))
Tesoro has a chick naming contest

EGG TURNING TIME AT NORFOLK!!---Now has her/his back to this side of the nest!!!!
Dana - Open your Feed Blitz from Glo this morning. Watch the video from Queenie - John Hancock forum.
Link to the Great Video
They had to yesterday, Dana. Maine forum has a link to a HW video...it was another eagle.
Iris - got you on my prayer list!
I think last evening I closed by saying that I was praying for ALL of us because each of us needed one thing or another! Especially good health!
Paula - You really mean it won't be Tes & Oro ! lol I am sure most of you will participate in naming those 2 fuzzy little bobble heads!
Here is this mornings video
Intruder returns?
I'm sure someone from Hancock has already put those names in, Jo!
WOW talk about a brazen eagle!
I would hope that Dad wouldn't chase Mom off like that.
Great capture Glo
ATLANTA is showing BUTA BUTA on the upper tier of the log structure!!----WHOA!---She has really grown!!---A.M. worker couldn't find the 'LITTLE BEAUTY' this a.m.---Hunted & hunted---finally they discovered the 'LITTLE

I think the VA EAGLES need to send HUGS & KISSES to each other!! ho!
GREAT VIDEO GLO!!!
Normabyrd you are correct. When DD first moved to Anchorage there was an eagle's nest just a couple of blocks from her house. After my stint in PA is over, I plan to go there for a year or two, Lord willing. I think you could say that I have eagle connections--DD in AK, DS in ME , and LB(little brother) in Norfolk. I am the only one interested in birds, however.
Off to the eaglet naming site. BBL
JO I checked my I did open it and didn't find any video of the attack.
So thank you and Glo for the link you two put here on the blog ty.
Good Morning Folks.. Its really snowing here and right now i am back to feeling yucky again and cruddy... I watched the video and what an amazing vid to watch... Belle is honkered down once again... i feeling confident that after last years tragedy they have put the egg cup deeper and WE ALL have the faith everything is ok... Prayers to ALL.. going back to lay down bellies doin the flip flop again... yuckyyy
Just stopped in to say Hi. Have to take the cat to the vet. Allergic to fleas and somehow one flea managed to get in the house and head upstairs to the cat. Now he has a sore on his back from scratching and won't stop til he gets meds. He never goes out, won't come around when the dogs are in the house and still manages to find a flea. Go figure.
Good Morning costume lady,glo,
normabyrd.
we are getting some freezing rain
today and that makes driving bad.
I hope that everyone has a great
eagle day.
Dave
I guess I can't enter the naming contest--I don't live in the area. Maybe our Iris......
Be careful out there Dave!
Nilla hope you soon feel better. Sorry Jill about your cat poor kitty. Dave good Morning to you too.
Belle just did a "Shake Off"
Beautiful pic of her turning the eggs.
WOW! LYNNE---You have it made!!---I would love to go to AK!!!---I don't want to go alone though---I'm working on that part!!--
Before i leave to lay down had to change avitar to JAZZY because SHE is my VALENTINE!!! Those BIG BLUE EYES MELT YOUR HEART.. NANA LOVES YOU SO MUCH!!!
grannyblt Just read the rules of entering the Tesoro chick naming contest..... I knew you were 18 yrs old plus & couldn't understand why you couldn't enter... now I know. The PalmBeachPost sure doesn't know how many eagle watchers are out here!!!
Guess they just want to keep it local BUT like most local events - the Locals don't know much!
Well Dana there is a link on the Feedblitz about yesterdays intruder at Norfolk, but glad you were able to follow the link here. I always put something like click here for video on..... to help folks find the links
Belle is starting to do some tenting and rolling now. Darn it I just hate to see this no matter how deep that egg well is. Why can't they just have a nice easy smoothe sail this year. I know that is NOT natures way but argh anyway.
OH, that SUX!!
I didn't know you had to be a Florida resident to participate...well, I guess you can always send in your name, anyhow.
MORNIN' JILL---INDIANA DAVE & NILLA!!!---It has really been snowing hard here----might be stopping now!!-----
Update on Helen aka MITS
Just received an email from Helen & she said that her sisters, Ceil and Mary Margaret, arrived Sunday night. What a blessing, they are taking excellent care of me and I am doing well. Can't believe it has been a week. Cleaned out all my e-mails yesterday. Ceil has been catching me up on the blog. pls tell everyone on the blog thanks for all the prayers, and will be praying for Iris tomorrow.
Good morning, everyone! I am lagging behind today, must be because I know I have to go out and snowblow as the plows have been by already. They must have started on my side of town today.
That is so good to hear, Jo, about Helen. It is nice her sisters could come and help out so she can spend her energy on healing.

Late afertoon all,

Just read back all todays posts, took me ages, boy I must be a slow reader.
OH Janet,so sorry to still hear your honking pet.
Iris pet thinking of you for tomorrow at 2pm.
wondeful new from Helen.
and to everyone else who is feeling yukky I hope you feel better very soon.
I've voted for the Tesoro Chicks, I'll tell you what names I've chosen if you ask, but until then I'm a bit embarrassed, cos the names I've picked are soppy ones.
I cant bear to see Belle sitting there in all that snow, I just want to wrap her in a duvet to keep her warm and toasty.
NEARLY TIME for prayers, so I'll shut up now and speak later.
love and hugs
Chrissy
XXXXXXXXXXX
Our snow just stopped here in the valley - hopefully at the nest also!
Time for our eagle to do another
"Shake Off"
lol Now I know what most of you also prayer for a few minutes ago other then all our friends!
Go Snow
Go Away!
EGG ROLL MAYBE
Looking for some dry fluff
Oh no! I just checked in on Belle and she is covered in snow. I can't stand it. Of course, I guess if she was anywhere, she would still have snow on her.
Hi Jo and all,
Prayers done and candles lit, so I'mm off to make a masive pan of chicken soup to warm me up.
Janet, you can't get rid of your kitties like that pet,,,I'd have them but I don't think my twins would have them in the house, place some little voil bags of Sage and Thyme on your window ledge, they don't like that and your shears will stay kitten proof pet.
RIGHT off to cook, be back later if my provider will let me.
Speak soon,take care all,
love and hugs
Chrissy
XXXXXXX

HAHAHA thanks Chrissy for that tip,, these 2 kittens are nuts they sleep for hours n get up and run like wild lunitics thru the house then if im am sleeping they run on the bed and jump n bounce off my head... lol But i love them... poor Sugahhh just watches them but he also gives them bathes and lets them love on him...Wanda i see your avitar now its pretty... hey could you put the link to Tessa's page please?
MT NEST at CO-----OWL cam there too!!
Yes Nilla The weather doesn't sound too good. The good news is all that padding and fluff and the eggs are fairly new. They are not 30 plus days grown with embryos right up against edge of shell etc. But they surely need to be staying warm and dry as possible. Lord Bless their hearts I am already praying for that nest family
Here you go Nilla: Nancy and Baby Tessa:
http://nancyandbaby.blogspot.com/
Something has caught Belles attention she is looking around and wide awake... I just got news from a very dear friend of many years she lost her sister this morning at 7:25am .. Her name is Melony keep her and her family in your prayers also..
I feel that same way Glo NONE of us want to relive last years events.. WE ALL MUST KEEP THE FAITH these eggs are big and strong and Belle & Lib are the best parents... I dont want to watch bring back those memories BUT loving them i cant not worry and watch as im am sure others feel.. Thanks Wanda will check it out sometimes right now have enough to make me sad..
Hey look at the back of Belle the snow print looks like a hand print?? Well to me it does could be Gods hand print holding her safely in his.. JMHO
Made it back from Hagerstown. No wreck on 81 just a truck broke down at the bridge, not quite off the road. Plenty of room in both lanes but people are slamming on brakes and moving left anyway.
Drew is allergic to fleas. (DUH) Got a shot and antibiotic. He will be fine soon.
Hope the weather doesn't change to ice. Hubby is at work in Baltimore and can't leave til 4. Seems to have quit snowing for the moment.
OK am i losing it again? lol After all i am a redhead on meds..
Nilla is right it does look like a handprint and maybe one on the other side as if somebody pushed her butt into the nest and said "STAY". LOL
The EAGLE at TESORO is certainly riding high today!!----We are getting some SUNSHINE now!!!!
Well thats good to hear no wreck Jill.. Yes see i knew i wasnt luney!!! Belle now has head tucked in wing sleeping... Man Jill the City has been busy throwing them in the pokey.. Arent ya glad your not working...lol Hope your cat gets better thank God mine doesnt have those issues they stay in all but Kittums and i have flea collar on her.. I am hoping daughter closes store so i dont need to go to work at 4pm...
Belles awake again looking around.. Jill ya dont think that hand print is helping her push another egg out do ya she is restless..lol Heaven forbid that right now!!! Norma no sun here in Martinsburg although road seems to be melting until sleet and ice hits in alittle while...
JILL----How's your kitten?----I wanted to tell you to 'GOOGLE' FLAMINGO----You will learn more than you ever wanted to know!!!--When I can't spell something---I GOOGLE my spelling & you will find the correct spelling that way too!----I GOOGLE everything!!!!----ENJOYING your vacation?---Hope you are feeling better & you will get to do some FUN things!!!
By the way tomorrow is my fathers 83rd birthday... he getting alittle senile (runs in the family..lol) EGG TURNNNNN
NILLA, you must be feeling better!
Jasmin is changing so much. So pretty.
DIVER just went through---Didn't stay----
Drew never ever goes outside. Scared to death. But occasionally the dogs bring a flea in, which promptly goes upstairs and finds the cat. One lousy flea will send him into fits. You can tell when he has one. He acts like your kittens, running around like a maniac.
Yes Janet, get out of jail free days ended last night at midnight. Now it is Mike and I til next Wednesday. Cross the line, get a free vacation at Hotel ERJ. LOL.
SD---Posts they are showing PRECIOUS & BAI!!------It is so dark--All I have seen is a window in a dark room!!!---
Norma, I think Paula Googled Flamingos yesterday. Sent out a nice little article about what they eat that makes them turn pink. It was crustaceans and something else. Anybody remember? I guess I flunked that test huh?
Yes she is Wanda but then again we all have beautiful granbabies to be proud of on here... No not feeling better but being here keeps my mind off the rumblin n my belly n headache...
I am done with this snow, all blown out. More snow tomorrow night, but that means over 24 hours for them to change their forecast. I hope they do. We got about 3.5" this time.
By the way Glo or Paula i am going to be needing to order 2 mouse pads.. Wish we had 1 made up with a picture of the new 3 eggs this year? Any chance of that happening?
Jill, might have been shrimp, but then shrimp is a crustacean, I think. Maybe Crab Legs. LOL
Gene is taking me and my Mom out for Crab Legs Friday night for Valentines Day, hope I don't turn pink. I have eaten enough of them to either turn pink or get very crabby.
Here it is:
Think pink—and orange?
With their bright feathers and strongly hooked bills, flamingos are among the most easily recognized waterbirds. Their pink or reddish color comes from the rich sources of carotenoid pigments (like the pigments of carrots) in the algae and small crustaceans that the birds eat. The Caribbean flamingos Phoenicopterus ruber ruber are the brightest, showing their true colors of red, pink, or orange on their legs, bills, and faces.
HUMMMM Crab Legs. Might have to do that too Wanda.
Has anyone seen Belle and Lib eating today? Might have to go down there and throw a squirrel into the nest. My bad.
MITS....NCIS tonight. Hope it is not a rerun! Hope you feel well enough to watch it.
American Idol and Big Brothers is also on at that time. You have a smorgasboard of programs to watch if you are up to it.
Yes Wanda Lib brought something in for Belle. I think it was gone awfully fast though. Photo on forum for the booklet.
I think NCIS will be a rerun. Not sure about Big Brother. Only guarantee not to be a rerun is American Idol. I think it will be a couple of weeks before we see "new" programs.
I love watching American Idol just to hear Paula n Randy get on Simon like they do..lol I say we raise money so next year a solor pane heated nest warmer can be installed in the middle down afew inches to keep it nice and cozy.. Just a thought but not enought to set nest on fire... I havent seen any food maybe thats what she is looking for Wanda...
Oops Glo has seen food come and go fast.. maybe she is still hungry... GloBug hows your weather out your way seen u have snow also... Hope Vick get better soon too...

NILLA----I saw 'SPUNKY' fly by the area & "SHE" asked to send you GET WELL WISHES & KISSES!!!-------XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Oohhhhhhhhhhh Norma thats the very best VALENTINES gift i could recieve to see her and know she is ok!!! But then again this year we have 3 and might need to name the 3rd 1 Feisty!!!!! Oh ihope she reserved a poop shot for Jo for VALENTINES DAY.. Hey Jo duck when ya go out side...lol
hi all! I've been so busy today that I haven't had time to read all the posts. It looks like Belle is keeping still. I hope the eggs make it this year!
My weather stinks LOL and now I am on my way to work. Maye if it all snows here it can stop snowing there. That will work for me heck its all sort of blending in now anyway.
well it looks as though Belle has did an excellent job of keeping the snow away from eggs and the fluff at least couple inches from her withher wing spread she did!!! Hi Danelle good to see ya... Belle sure is watching something i hope its Lib with food or coming to exchange the nesting...
Jill - I didn't know animals could be allergic to fleas until this past fall...dog had them, and had to go on antibiotics and prednisone...haven't had fleas in 10 years...don't know where they came from either!
So time for go get ready for work.. All is well in the nest.. My thought for today is this: " REMEMBER ITS BAD TO SUPPRESS LAUGHTER IT GOES BACK DOWN AND SPREADS TO YOUR HIPS"
Paula, my cat never goes outside and very seldom comes downstairs so the fleas had to go up to him. Cat won't come down when dogs are in the house. And dogs don't go up. And I have found it only takes one flea. Last time we had to go to the vet, we never saw the flea, just flea dirt and very little of that. This time he really did have fleas so we used advantage but he still kept scratching. Dug a hole in his back and stomach.
Back again panda nap stomach doesn't feel well.
Don't know what is going on at Norfolk. They have had the camera way way back. Then they found an eagle sitting far away from nest. No eagle on nest. Now they gone into the nest. Now far far back away still no eagle to be found this time.
Well, I just voted three times here in Florida for the names for the Tesoro Chicks. If any of you have names you want me to send in, just let me know... if you will you will have to share the prize with me, OK??? just kidding. I do live in one of the counties mentioned as being eligible.
irisfreily @ gmail dot com, OK? put it together and you have my address.
Thanks Mits and all for sending up prayers for me tomorrow, I really appreciate it.
Hard to look at this nest and not remember last year, but this is nothing by comparison to that deluge of snow...hope it stays that way.
Boy, it looks like they've had considerably more snow at Shepherdstown!
Weather site says it's supposed to be freezing rain today, but it looks like good ole fashioned snow to me.
Belle (or is that Liberty?) looks weather ready though.
[:~)]
Jim
One chick at Tesoro moving all around and spreading his little wings.
Oh no Dana your not getting the yuckies too??? I am watching Norfolk odd isnt it??? The waving of the nest does not help my stomach neither..lol
WAYY out shot of nest but saw something flying to the right of the screen ?
I think the parents at NBG have been off the 3 eggs for a long long time now. I think that is why they are looking for them. JMO
I just saw 5 eggs in the owl cam. Is there a new one, or did I lose track of the total?
I need to go out and clean off car nows when i wish i had aman..lol ZOOM IN NORFOLK
ZOOM OUT NORFOLK.. Wonder whats up
there in right hand top corner did ya see it flying Dana?
REAL BIG ZOOM INTO NEST!!! I WONDER IF THEY ARE TRYING TO CHECK EGGS????
There have been intruders at the new nest at different times today...
I think that is where the adults are: chasing the intruders....
I just wish one would stay with the eggs........
BBL
I believe there was another attack at NBG about 12:49 today !!
some body any body watching whatcha think is going on?????? they are searching the trees now all around... Oh my its snowing to beat the band here again....

Jim They think it is another female
Maine Forum under the Norfolk title has the best reports due to the fact that some of the Zoomers blog on that site......
Link to Maine Forum - where the action is happening
Glo & Paula frequent that forum
Looks like Belle just arrived!
TALK ABOUT AN EAGLE EYE SHE SURE HAS 2 OF THEM OUT NOW...Oh she is checking eggs
Lib gone
How long were the Norfolk eagles off the eggs? Anyone know?? Hope these attacks stop and SOON!
Switch just happened at NCTC...Bless their hearts!
Dana, I think there's something missing at the end of your link, because I got to UTube, but I didn't find the video anywhere.
[:~)]
Jim
BWE Nesting and timer is correct
BWO Adult eagle visiting the platform
Starting to snow again here in the valley --- Looks like Belle is also

Iris, it just started snowing hard again here. So far it is a dry snow. Belle and Lib are sure taking good care of this pretty eggs.
And you take care of those pretty eyes. You will be able to see without glasses when you get them both done. My Mom did very well with her surgery about 2 yrs. ago. No pain, no problem. Prayers for you. (((HUGS)))
