Good morning! Been watching the Finland nest ( on the water). The osprey has been off the nest quite a bit. Can not see any eggs. They must really be deep in the cup.
WOW!! LOLLY---We certainly enjoy the same foods----Ask the EAGLE MOMSTERS what I have ordered every time we have eaten at the CLARION INN-----SALMON!!---I am sure yours tastes better!---ho!
The PERGRINE FALCON CHICKS at the PA SITE are sitting in the hatchbox!!---MOM is with them!!---Must be near feeding time!!---I hear some chirping---WHOA!!---Those little gals can be loud!!------- Did you all notice--BIRD GIRL'S BEAUTIFUL CHICK??---One in the same---I think she added some color to her pic!!!
BLUE HERON is on the nest---back to cam!!!!---One can see the top of the younger one's head!!---Would love to see more---but her back is to the cam also!!!
Good morning everyone. Lisa at BWE thinks that one of the eaglets has fledged. She has pics. Beautiful day here is Baltimore but wish I was at the ocean. We had a graduation yesterday. It was really beautiful. One of the graduates was blind and was accompanied by her seeing eye dog Dana. Dana was a very proud dog walking across the stage.
Good Mid Morning on such a beautiful Sunday to all of you It's great to not yet need the AC on and that opened windows & doors make it soooooooo comfortable in the house! Nothing real exciting planned for today meaning we don't need to travel anywhere. Oldest daughter & Hubby will stop by for lunch - I just need to grill the hotdogs!
DEB---They will be there several more time---I bet!!---They were all over WV---but didn't get to see them!!----IF YOU GET NEAR any political buttons---PLEASE BUY FOR ME!!----I COLLECT-- & KILLARY BUTTONS ARE SCARCE!---Will pay you!!!! & Will love you forever!!!---Any pic button is best!!
The lake waters with the loon cam are as still as though it were frozen.. Don't know what to compare it to.. Loon is doing fine without all the waves bouncing the platform.
We call it "glass" water, Jo. It is the best for boating, so calm and wonderful to float on. I decided we will float a lot this summer to save on gas, otherwise we won't be able to afford boating.
Three growing eaglets in our nest!! One at 11:00 One eating nestovers One on the launch pad (but I don't think he/she knows it's the launch pad position at 6:00)
Hi Deb, Love Helen's place at the ocean but had to go to graduation. So glad I did. Jo, I cried. Such an accomplishment. There were mom's and daughters graduating. Wonderful day. Norma I was watching Tai before and he was sleeping by the fence where you can see mom or dad. I have not heard from Helen all weekend either. They have had good weather. BBL Going to get lunch.
One load of laundry done, I didn't realize i hadn't done it in quite awhile. I will be at it all day. Off to do some more planting, this past winter was hard on the plants.
WV SCHOOLS FOR D&B is located in ROMNEY---Taught there a couple of years----kids are just like any other kids!!----Being blind---isn't in their vocabualy---(i say this because--1st & last thing the school preaches & teaches---no pity)
Thanks DEB! That's it! As smooth as Glass! You best get the oars geared up for this summer with the price of gas. Our area is just about to hit the $4 mark! I am thankful in a way that I am retired but my most usage of gas is to go to CVS to get prescription meds! LOL So it's not such a good compromise! I hope to meet you some day, Deb You too Lolly and Mauley and Ceil and all the rest of you Momsters! That includes you too Jim!!!
CEIL---I hope we don't need to turn on AC too!!---Seems every year---I think it is gonna need replaced this year!!---ho!---I am a worry-wart!!----Husband used to say I would lie awake & night & think of things to worry about!! ho!----
THANKS JO!!---As you know I collect ALL kinds of buttons!!---I don't have any McCAIN buttons!!! BLESS YOU!!----ENJOY THE SUNSHINE!!---Must go pick up a couple of newspapers---won't get delivery tomorrow!!----
Jo, thanks for the laugh!! Wonderful videos!! I learned about poop shoots when we had the hawk nest in our yard. A few years ago we were at the Raptor Center in Alaska. Man was giving a program on the bald eagle. Had one on his arm. Might know, we were on the front row. I KNEW the action of that bald eagle. Pulled my feet back just in the nick of time. LOL
Norma, until a short time ago I did not care for Salmon. However, I love it with green onion sauce!!
I'm back for a little while. Doing laundry also Deb. So I have a bad habit of blogging and walking away to do something else. Senior moments are getting closer together. Just watch the West End videos. Funny. Norma I am a worry also. Husband told the doctor one time that work was what was making my blood pressure high. Doctor said if it wasn't for work I would find something else to worry about.
Hello & Happy Sunday Everyone!! Been reading, checking cams, etc. The Hulabunnee films from Glo & Jo are a RIOT. But, it must be really hard to aim Backwards!!! Been watching Isla & she has finished some of baby's food & finally sitting down, but squawking up a storm at times. I had to turn down volume. Be doing some chores today & watching back and forth. Lolly, Deb, will certainly join in on defending the BC nest! Those black things were so fast, couldn't really tell what they were! BBL
I think food was brought into nest. Which Pearl got not Middy has stolen a piece away for herself. Right now Pearl and Middy are having a tug of war over the food.
Wow- what a beautiful day, had a really busy market. I sold almost everything I took:) Have you guys decided on a time to meet at NCTC next Saturday yet?
Dana, I have an I/O and it uses gas. No trolling motor, I don't fish. That is always the question when you are trailering the boat, how was the fishing? Not a pole in sight and the men still ask!
I don't think so, either, Dana. I looked all over at the IWS site and all I could find is they thought someone was working on the Hacking Tower. They probably need to get it ready for Spirit's return and then later for Skye.
Pearl flapping those wings moving across the nest. I think it is Middy is at 3 (launch pad) with back to it NO RAILING....sure hope Pearl doesn't knock him backwards.
Heard Isla chirping again & she was really picking at bowl beneath. Angus brought in a fish that she yanked off his talons. Front egg seems to have a dark stripe around it? Wonder if that's a crack? BBL - working on pics,etc
Been watching the OK cam. The two there are really doing wingercizes and trampoline hops. Thought one was going right out of the nest. Where do they branch to? That rail is all they have! Looks like their nest is in the water, better know how to swim if they fall out.
I sure feel like a trader! I didn't do any laundry today! <:) I also can NOT tell our eaglets apart very well anymore! I figure I will know who they are as to who fledges first and who is the last to go out of the nest!
NEST VISIT I need this week to gather info from NCTC (lunch site? Best place for parking to view nest. ect....) I know dinner will be set for you to arrive 4:30 -5:00 as always. I am thinking of a general time to meet for nest will be around 10am... Some are staying there Fri night & will probably go to nest whenever the sun rises..lol. I will definitely get email out to all of you who have committed yourself to being there! I will do this by the end of next week. I needed some kind of head count before I could go ahead with the plans.... ((hugs)) YKW
Okay, I am going to go out on a limb (pardon the pun) and say it is Pearl that sits right below the camera, Middy that was just doing the wing flapping and Baby Littley that sits in Spunky's/Liberty's spot!
Oh, it got pretty warm at the lake today but tomorrow is supposed to be 85. I have to work tomorrow though so I will have to enjoy it in the evening I guess.
WANDA, You sneaked right in after I made that comment. I was going to email you & the Capt to see about the Eagle Express!!! I'll be in touch! Thank You!
Like you say that was a question I needed to ask NCTC as to where it could be parked since the BARN area is off limits
Does anyone have a tulip poplar tree? Mine is blooming so beautiful and I have never noticed the blooms before in my life and this tree has been beside my house for longer than I have lived here. Saw one at the lake today.
Well I had an unscheduled picnic today and it turned out very well! Three of the kids/families stopped by and we grilled hot dogs & they brought the rest! It filled the afternoon with lots of fun!
I looked up a tulip poplar tree, also. Very pretty blooms.
I ended up stripping the bed, flipping mattress, etc, so a lot of laundry turned into even more laundry. I am getting there, though. If I would only do one project at a time, it would go faster.
Sharon, we have tulip poplar trees- always thought they were beautiful. Had a huge one in our yard when I was a kid, and I was always picking the blossoms. Jo- I love 4 oclocks- always grow them. Just planted some right outside my door. Just watered the gh- picked 89 peonies, bathed the dog- gopod grief- that's it- showered and ready to sit- now that the day is done. lol
I don't watch the cam much after dark when they settle down due to SPIDEY'S WEB! Going to bring a high powered leaf blower to the Nest Visit and wipe him out!
Megan - you have had such a busy sun up to sun down beautiful day! In a couple months we'll be doing rain dances for you! Do your gh peonies have ants in them?
Not much has changed in the past 24 hours. The bird is resting comfortably and continues to have a great appetite. The young eagle gobbled down 14 mice today. The artificial nest constructed for the bird was moved near a window so that it has some natural lighting. The bird has nearly doubled its body weight since arrival just four days ago, weighing in at just over 4 1/2 pounds.
I have been over on the AmGirl shopping for an Bitty Baby & crib to ship to Germany to Great Granddaughter. When the new little sister comes - this will help Samantha feel special too! She is 6yrs old - so she is going to be a very big help to her Mom!
Ha Ha, I like that Jo, Chubby Buddy! Only 14 Mice? I loved how they said they were going to introduce fish into his diet...like he's never had fish before!
You know those baby eaglets, they'll stuff themselves till they plop over and can't get up!
I hope everyone gets out tomorrow and has a picnic with family and friends...we have been waiting for a day like this for a long time,so get out there and ENJOY!
Nite all---fell asleep in chair after MM movie. A couple heart wrenching scenes.Hope new season is better than last.I hate getting so depressed over animals I love.
BTW--on lighter note---one of the 4baby groundhogs we saw the other day climbed up a dogwood tree! Pleasant Feather Dreams
Eaglets::::::: Can't see a lot,, the spiders wb is wafting about and I'm only catching gilmps's, one chick just sullting cleaning wing feathers, can't see the other two.
PA Peregrines ::::: Can't see a thing, it's far to dark still.
Loch of Lewes Ospreys:::: Isla having a bath,,Angus popped in with a masive fish [boy that kid can eat] popped out again after looking the heir over once or twice,, still no sign of the other two eggs hatching,, I think it's a givien now THEY WON'T !!! And if Isla breaks them open today, little "BUBBA", won't have anything to lean on, Ahhhhhhhhhh, he/she will just have to find a little branch all of it's own to use.
Loch Garten Ospreys:::::: Chick fed and all floppy,,,EJ [mum] and OVS [dad] seem to be a young couple compaired to Isla and Angus. It seems that at Loch Garten, OVS [orange vs,legband] Has two nests,Henry, "EJ'S" male as far as I've read, isn't around, so I'm not sure what the situation is going to be, but so far OVS seems to be doing his work, bringing fish BUT not staying for long, so if he is splitting himself between two nests and two ladies BOY WHAT A BIRD !!!! AS they have said at "LOCH GARTEN",,,, WE NEED MORE MALES !!!
Weater here awful,, wet, windy dark and oh so cold,,,,
EVEN my cats, beauty and Scamp won't go out into the garden this morning,, so its littler tray duty all day I'm thinkning, ughhh,,, It's " BANK HOLIDAY", over here today, and everything seems to grind to a halt on such days here,, don't like them at all. Well thats all the news I can think off so far my friends. I hope if your planning picnics,,HAVE FUN,,,ENJOY,,, and mind the ants,,,,,,,
Morning Megan,, How are you,,, are you picnicing today,, I hope your having a day off.
Angus has just arrived back with yet more food,, I swear that chick is going to burst ,,,,,,,,
Loch Garten Scotland,,nest has been empty for a long while now,,I'm getting so worried,, chick been on its own and no protection,, I think this nest is going to be a problem nest,,,, as I said above,, one male betwwen two nests isn't a good thing as "EJ" is having to leave the chick to fish,,, very dangerious !!!!
I love bacon,, Icould live on it,, in sandwiches,, with farmhouse sausages for a full English breakfast,,,,
Bacon sausages fried eggs black pudding fried bread grilled tomatoes baked beans and any potatoes left over from the day before,fried and copious ammounts of steaming hot tea.
Wow- now I'm really starving- bacon and eggs and english muffins here this morning, no time for anything else. Daughter is at a friend's house , if she was here I would've made pancakes. What is black pudding??
Megan I've sent you something on Black Pudding pet,, but there are so many sites over here about them.
I know its an aquired taste and not for all,, but I love them and in a Traditional Eglish Breakfast,, breakfast just isn't breakfast without them,,,, BUT it is a northern delicacy so I don't know how none Lancasharians would react to them !!!!
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!!!MOVIN'JIM---CHRISSY---MEGAN & CEIL!!---WHOA!! CHRISSY!---I think the BLOOD PUDDING didn't go over on this side of the POND!---I had heard of BLOOD PUDDING---was waiting until someone checked it out!!----MEGAN is sticking to BACON!!----ho!---GLORIOUS---GLORIOUS SUNNY MORNING!! here in WV--"HOME OF BELLE & LIBERTY---PLUS 3"----temp. 59° & climbing---may get showers later!!----Such beautiful weather---singing birds & blooming trees & flowers!!---& RESTLESS EAGLETS!!----(my wings are wider that yours!!)---LIFE IS GOOD!!----"LIVE" IS GOOD TOO!!----ENJOY!!
I know black Pudding is an aquired taste,,, BUT I love it,, I'm not odd really,, well, perhaps just a little. When I was growing up on the farm we always used to say, "The only thing you can't eat from a pig,,,,,IS THE THE GRUNT",,,,,

Good morning everyone. Lisa at BWE thinks that one of the eaglets has fledged. She has pics. Beautiful day here is Baltimore but wish I was at the ocean. We had a graduation yesterday. It was really beautiful. One of the graduates was blind and was accompanied by her seeing eye dog Dana. Dana was a very proud dog walking across the stage.
Hummer nest visible, I wonder if the last egg will hatch. It is over due.
Some one is doing a lot of flapping in our nest, not getting any air time, so maybe it is Tiny.
Morning, Ceil. I wish I was at the ocean, too, but that would be a long trip for me!
Bill is visiting SD today, Norma. I don't remember this many visits to SD ever!
MORNIN' CEIL!!---CONGRATS to your GRAD!!---Isn't it a WONDERFUL feeling??---ho!----CELEBRATE!!
Good Mid Morning on such a beautiful Sunday to all of you It's great to not yet need the AC on and that opened windows & doors make it soooooooo comfortable in the house!
Nothing real exciting planned for today meaning we don't need to travel anywhere. Oldest daughter & Hubby will stop by for lunch - I just need to grill the hotdogs!
Ceil - that must have been such a moving sight at graduation - one that could bring tears of emotions on the blind graduate's accomplishments.
I bet Helen & family are having a wonderful time at the ocean!
DEB---They will be there several more time---I bet!!---They were all over WV---but didn't get to see them!!----IF YOU GET NEAR any political buttons---PLEASE BUY FOR ME!!----I COLLECT-- & KILLARY BUTTONS ARE SCARCE!---Will pay you!!!! & Will love you forever!!!---Any pic button is best!!
The lake waters with the loon cam are as still as though it were frozen..
Don't know what to compare it to..
Loon is doing fine without all the waves bouncing the platform.
We call it "glass" water, Jo. It is the best for boating, so calm and wonderful to float on. I decided we will float a lot this summer to save on gas, otherwise we won't be able to afford boating.
Three growing eaglets in our nest!!
One at 11:00
One eating nestovers
One on the launch pad (but I don't think he/she knows it's the launch pad position at 6:00)
AND I can't tell one from the other!
Hi Deb, Love Helen's place at the ocean but had to go to graduation. So glad I did. Jo, I cried. Such an accomplishment. There were mom's and daughters graduating. Wonderful day.

As smooth as Glass!
You best get the oars geared up for this summer with the price of gas. Our area is just about to hit the $4 mark! I am thankful in a way that I am retired but my most usage of gas is to go to CVS to get prescription meds! LOL So it's not such a good compromise!
I hope to meet you some day, Deb
You too Lolly and Mauley and Ceil and all the rest of you Momsters!
That includes you too Jim!!!
I just got my belly laugh for the day
You know my nickname is Poop Shoot
Well, you new Momsters wouldn't know that.
GLO's FTLOE site has 2 videos from HulaBunee from IWS called #1)Miracle surprises Surprise and #2)Surprise gets revenge
West End Nest
OK I best get out of the PJ Club attire and clean off my cluttered table... May just eat outside but I still need to clear the table top!!
NORMA I'll keep my eyes open for Clinton Political buttons. I'm sure here in MD they will be hard to find..........
CEIL---I hope we don't need to turn on AC too!!---Seems every year---I think it is gonna need replaced this year!!---ho!---I am a worry-wart!!----Husband used to say I would lie awake & night & think of things to worry about!! ho!----
Deb - bandings at IWS will start this week...think Jo posted it on yesterday's thread.
Out to work in the garden...what a glorious day!
THANKS JO!!---As you know I collect ALL kinds of buttons!!---I don't have any McCAIN buttons!!!
BLESS YOU!!----ENJOY THE SUNSHINE!!---Must go pick up a couple of newspapers---won't get delivery tomorrow!!----
I turned my air conditioning on today, not that hot, 73, but humidity is 78%, so it is very sticky.
Ready for church but not time yet.
Jo, thanks for the laugh!! Wonderful videos!! I learned about poop shoots when we had the hawk nest in our yard. A few years ago we were at the Raptor Center in Alaska. Man was giving a program on the bald eagle. Had one on his arm. Might know, we were on the front row. I KNEW the action of that bald eagle. Pulled my feet back just in the nick of time. LOL
Norma, until a short time ago I did not care for Salmon. However, I love it with green onion sauce!!
Brought over from Jo's posting from yesterday:
From Peter: "The tentative banding schedule is:
PR on 5/24
TH on 5/25
TR on 5/30
SR on 5/31
WE on 6/11
any of the dates could change by a day or two."
Deb, guess the ravens are not bothering Delta this morning. They have been on the nest alone for quite some time. Whoops! Dinner just arrived!
But, she is gone again!!
Lolly and/or Deb
I don't think I have the Delta cam link. I have so many that sometimes I get them confused.......
Thanks.
http://wavelit.com/index.php?view=EaglesNestLive
This is the one my daughter sent to me the other day, Jo.
It is the first cam on the Hancock web page.
Time to leave for church!! BBL
I'm back for a little while. Doing laundry also Deb. So I have a bad habit of blogging and walking away to do something else. Senior moments are getting closer together. Just watch the West End videos. Funny. Norma I am a worry also. Husband told the doctor one time that work was what was making my blood pressure high. Doctor said if it wasn't for work I would find something else to worry about.
Hello & Happy Sunday Everyone!!
Been reading, checking cams, etc.
The Hulabunnee films from Glo & Jo are a RIOT. But, it must be really hard to aim Backwards!!!
Been watching Isla & she has finished some of baby's food & finally sitting down, but squawking up a storm at times. I had to turn down volume.
Be doing some chores today & watching back and forth.
Lolly, Deb, will certainly join in on defending the BC nest! Those black things were so fast, couldn't really tell what they were! BBL
Good Sunday Afternoon Deb, Paula, Jim, Norma, Lolly, Ceil, Jo, and Nature.
Haven't been on for 1 1/2 days.. Bluebird watching outside.
Boy do I have things to share ( :
Need to get food just woke 45 minutes ago. Been hard 1 1/2 days.
What time is Dr. Sharpie heading for TH?
Good afternoon Dana. Will be back later Cook out tomorrow at neighbors. Need to make food.
Ok Ceil ty.
Funny I am doing laundry too lol.
Going to catch Jo and Glo's video.
Thanks Glo for the two videos and ty Jo for bringing them to this thread. That is a definite sibling getting even lmbo
Deb do you all use an electric motor when the water is like glass. We had both. Only use gas to get to and from on water.
Mom came back to Delta, BC nest & black bird zipped by right behind her! They're back! Maybe they also have nest in area.
I think food was brought into nest. Which Pearl got not Middy has stolen a piece away for herself. Right now Pearl and Middy are having a tug of war over the food.
Howdy, all!
Whazzup?
Back from the yard waste recycling center and Walmart. Went into Walmart filthy, but I don't care! Gonna head back out to spread the mulch!
Wow- what a beautiful day, had a really busy market. I sold almost everything I took:) Have you guys decided on a time to meet at NCTC next Saturday yet?
Dana, I have an I/O and it uses gas. No trolling motor, I don't fish. That is always the question when you are trailering the boat, how was the fishing? Not a pole in sight and the men still ask!
Hi Megan glad your market did very well for you.
I think the dinner is 5pm I think
Don't know time for nest.
Maybe email JO...
Breaktime!
Chicks are on the lookout at 3, 4 and 6 on the nest
Paula I don't think they are going to Two Harbors today. Wonder what the new date is?
Dana - TH is tomorrow. PR - Pinnacle Rock is today - there isn't a cam on that nest.
See Deb's post at 11:22 today
I don't think so, either, Dana. I looked all over at the IWS site and all I could find is they thought someone was working on the Hacking Tower. They probably need to get it ready for Spirit's return and then later for Skye.
Lola has something white in the nest around the chicks. Cloth or paper. Thank goodness not plastic.
Pearl flapping those wings moving across the nest. I think it is Middy is at 3 (launch pad) with back to it NO RAILING....sure hope Pearl doesn't knock him backwards.
I love the way the eaglets cock their heads sideways to look at something!
I am just about at a total loss as to who is who in our nest...
Aww looking right at the cam! How cute!
Thank you Paula ( :
Ooops sorry, I'm about 2 minutes behind.
HAHA - I have my dates wrong! Today is the 25th, isn't it! My Bad!!
Dr Sharpe does announce it on the DB when he leaves for the nest.
No announcement thus far today.
Heard Isla chirping again & she was really picking at bowl beneath. Angus brought in a fish that she yanked off his talons. Front egg seems to have a dark stripe around it? Wonder if that's a crack?
BBL - working on pics,etc
Animal Planet
8pm tonight - Meerkat Manor...the story begins
Prequel to Meerkat Manor - new!
Wingersize time - I think it's Middy
Megan It is not next Saturday. Next Satureday is the 31st.
Paula, I don't know who is who in our nest and get nest mixed up.
Nest visit and dinner June 7th
later company
OOps- sorry, I meant June 7th- too tired to think...
I am happy you had a good sale today, Megan. Put your feet up and rest for awhile!
Eagle at Kent 1.
Been watching the OK cam. The two there are really doing wingercizes and trampoline hops. Thought one was going right out of the nest. Where do they branch to? That rail is all they have! Looks like their nest is in the water, better know how to swim if they fall out.
Thanks Deb and Dana:) no feet up yet tho- just did 2 loads of laundry, vaccuumed, mopped floors and now I'm making dinner.
One just went up the trunk at 10...maybe a foot or so
A woman's work is never done!
One is working on dinner this end of the nest...getting the fur off, it looks like
Parent just flew in...eaglet mantling
Ha Ha..grabbed the fish and is running all over the nest with it!
I think there are three eggs at the WW Osprey nest, Osprey is back on the nest right now.
Another parent visit, Can't see if there is food.
Whatever the birds are at the Delta nest, they are small and fast. I think that lets out ravens, doesn't it?
No food brought in, went back and checked.
Parent confiscated some leftovers and is feeding one of the eaglets. One eating on its own the other was waiting, but hopped away.
Now it is waiting again, moved in closer.
Now parent wants the other leftovers and the eating eaglet wants none of that. Whoa, the chicks are getting very possessive, spatting with parent.
Parent wins this one!
Off to fold laundry.
Parent back...feeding chicks
Eaglets were giving Dad a hard time...he finally found the furry thing to feed them
BBIALW
2 standing at the far end, one preening at 6
Good evening dear friends. Went to Claytor Lake and rode on the boat a while today. Gorgeous day! Hope all is well with you all!
Eaglets at 6, 9, 12
I sure feel like a trader! I didn't do any laundry today! <:)
I also can NOT tell our eaglets apart very well anymore! I figure I will know who they are as to who fledges first and who is the last to go out of the nest!
NEST VISIT I need this week to gather info from NCTC (lunch site? Best place for parking to view nest. ect....) I know dinner will be set for you to arrive 4:30 -5:00 as always. I am thinking of a general time to meet for nest will be around 10am... Some are staying there Fri night & will probably go to nest whenever the sun rises..lol.
I will definitely get email out to all of you who have committed yourself to being there! I will do this by the end of next week. I needed some kind of head count before I could go ahead with the plans.... ((hugs)) YKW
LOL as soon as I post the one at 9hops across the nest and to the back. flapping wings furiously....might be Tiny
Hi Sharon & Paula...
It has been a beautiful day here too. Going to be pretty tomorrow, but a little on the warm side...86°
Okay, I am going to go out on a limb (pardon the pun) and say it is Pearl that sits right below the camera, Middy that was just doing the wing flapping and Baby Littley that sits in Spunky's/Liberty's spot!
We were looking for eagles today and I told everybody there that in 2 weeks, I am hopeful to get to see 5 of them!! I know where my eagles are!! :)
Hi, Jo...
The Eagle Express can be brought down for everyone's convenience if we can find a place to park it. Just let me know.
Oh, it got pretty warm at the lake today but tomorrow is supposed to be 85. I have to work tomorrow though so I will have to enjoy it in the evening I guess.
Oh, we LOVE the Eagle Express!
Hi Sharon!
Hi Dana - The BlueBirdBaby Monitor!
Paula - Lolly We are waiting for yard/deck work accomplishment pictures..
Ceil - when is Helen's company leaving OC?
Deb - get that laundry done gal if you want a holiday tomorrow!!
Megan - I planted a big pot of
Four O'Clocks! I love them and haven't seen many for years ..
WANDA, You sneaked right in after I made that comment.
I was going to email you & the Capt to see about the Eagle Express!!!
I'll be in touch! Thank You!
Like you say that was a question I needed to ask NCTC as to where it could be parked since the BARN area is off limits
Does anyone have a tulip poplar tree? Mine is blooming so beautiful and I have never noticed the blooms before in my life and this tree has been beside my house for longer than I have lived here. Saw one at the lake today.
Jo,
Kevin, Anne and girls will be there until tomorrow. Hi, Sharon. Glad I am not the only one who cannot tell them apart.
Sharon - does your tulip poplar tree have a yellow flower on it?
I had to look it up.. I was thinking it was like the Magnolias but it really isn't.
Well I had an unscheduled picnic today and it turned out very well!
Three of the kids/families stopped by and we grilled hot dogs & they brought the rest! It filled the afternoon with lots of fun!
I looked up a tulip poplar tree, also. Very pretty blooms.
I ended up stripping the bed, flipping mattress, etc, so a lot of laundry turned into even more laundry. I am getting there, though. If I would only do one project at a time, it would go faster.
LOL Guess that was Pearl, she just is a little hyper, bounced all over nest including bouncing on a sibling.
She is playing leap frog over one eaglet, who doesn't like this game. Especially when used as a landing pad!
Sharon, we have tulip poplar trees- always thought they were beautiful. Had a huge one in our yard when I was a kid, and I was always picking the blossoms.
Jo- I love 4 oclocks- always grow them. Just planted some right outside my door. Just watered the gh- picked 89 peonies, bathed the dog- gopod grief- that's it- showered and ready to sit- now that the day is done. lol
Both parents in the nest., oops one left.
Looks like adult is having a late night snack. Boy, I am so sick of that spiderweb.
I don't watch the cam much after dark when they settle down due to
SPIDEY'S WEB! Going to bring a high powered leaf blower to the Nest Visit and wipe him out!
You can stand on each others shoulders to get up that high. Jo, you can be on top with the blower. I can picture it all now!! LOL
Megan - you have had such a busy sun up to sun down beautiful day!
In a couple months we'll be doing rain dances for you! Do your gh peonies have ants in them?
Lolly It would be horrible if we
blew Pearl out of the nest! lol
Practice JO!!!! Get good aim with the blower!! Wipe out that web and Spidey with it. Practice!! You have two weeks!
Peonies are outside , Jo- no ants at this point,they get on the buds when they first appear and are sticky-sappy, then they disapear.
They have landed a proble on the north pole of Mars. Surely, surely, I say, we can knock down Spidey and web!!
Another long day, I am calling it a night. Good Night, all.
Here is today's update on NBG eaglet:
Not much has changed in the past 24 hours. The bird is resting comfortably and continues to have a great appetite. The young eagle gobbled down 14 mice today. The artificial nest constructed for the bird was moved near a window so that it has some natural lighting. The bird has nearly doubled its body weight since arrival just four days ago, weighing in at just over 4 1/2 pounds.
NBG Eaglet is going to be
Chubby Buddy
Evening, all!
Got the potato salad done! Watching Meerkat Manor again.
I have been over on the AmGirl shopping for an Bitty Baby & crib to ship to Germany to Great Granddaughter. When the new little sister comes - this will help Samantha feel special too! She is 6yrs old - so she is going to be a very big help to her Mom!
Ha Ha, I like that Jo, Chubby Buddy! Only 14 Mice? I loved how they said they were going to introduce fish into his diet...like he's never had fish before!
You know those baby eaglets, they'll stuff themselves till they plop over and can't get up!
Great to hear he's eating well!
Well I hope Suz remembered to watch the Meerkets - I called Jenny - Is it starting a new story?
Have fun at your picnic tomorrow
It is so great that the weather has
been perfect for picnics this holiday. I can remember lots of them with rain!
I'd like a report on the adult eagle couple from NBG.
The Loon Blog by Larry is very interesting.
Calling it a day. ..
Another beautiful day
Peace to You & Yours
Prayers for all our needs being said
Enjoy Memorial Day tomorrow!!!
Good Night All
Here comes the ferry! I am hopping aboard and calling it quits for today!
Nite all! Sweet dreams!
I hope everyone gets out tomorrow and has a picnic with family and friends...we have been waiting for a day like this for a long time,so get out there and ENJOY!
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT

GOOD MONDAY MORNING TO YOU ALL !!!
" I hope your all as well as can be today ".
HAVE A GREAT MEMORIAL DAY ONE AND ALL::::::::::::
Eaglets:::::::
Can't see a lot,, the spiders wb is wafting about and I'm only catching gilmps's, one chick just sullting cleaning wing feathers, can't see the other two.
PA Peregrines :::::
Can't see a thing, it's far to dark still.
Loch of Lewes Ospreys::::
Isla having a bath,,Angus popped in with a masive fish [boy that kid can eat] popped out again after looking the heir over once or twice,, still no sign of the other two eggs hatching,, I think it's a givien now THEY WON'T !!! And if Isla breaks them open today, little "BUBBA", won't have anything to lean on, Ahhhhhhhhhh, he/she will just have to find a little branch all of it's own to use.
Loch Garten Ospreys::::::
Chick fed and all floppy,,,EJ [mum] and OVS [dad] seem to be a young couple compaired to Isla and Angus.
It seems that at Loch Garten, OVS [orange vs,legband]
Has two nests,Henry, "EJ'S" male as far as I've read, isn't around, so I'm not sure what the situation is going to be, but so far OVS seems to be doing his work, bringing fish BUT not staying for long, so if he is splitting himself between two nests and two ladies BOY WHAT A BIRD !!!!
AS they have said at "LOCH GARTEN",,,,
WE NEED MORE MALES !!!
Weater here awful,, wet, windy dark and oh so cold,,,,
EVEN my cats, beauty and Scamp won't go out into the garden this morning,, so its littler tray duty all day I'm thinkning, ughhh,,,
It's " BANK HOLIDAY", over here today, and everything seems to grind to a halt on such days here,, don't like them at all.
Well thats all the news I can think off so far my friends.
I hope if your planning picnics,,HAVE FUN,,,ENJOY,,, and mind the ants,,,,,,,
love and hugs

Bacon

and copious ammounts of steaming hot tea.
