Hi Megan and Glo. Top o' the morning to you! Hope everyone has a lovely day. I am "babysitting" a friends furniture/antique/stuff store today and tomorrow, so will check in this evening.
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!!---CONGRATS!---BEAUTIFUL MEGAN!!---You are are #1 EAGLE MOM today---& every day!---It is truly a GLORIOUS SUNNY MORNING----here in WV---"HOME OF BELLE & LIBERTY---PLUS 3 FREE LOADERS----temp a cool61° !!!----forecasting thunder showers later in the day!!---"LIVE" is GOOD!!---& LIFE IS GOOD!!----ENJOY THIS GORGEOUS DAY!!!!----ps--I see we have all read yesterday's WASH. POST!!---Aren't those PANDAS ADORABLE!!!---
Hello Glo, Norma,Hedgesviller:) I saw 'Red Hawk' at mkt. yesterday, she gave me the prettiest card with a goldfinch on it, thanks, Ellen:) I miss my goldfinches who are now all over the yard, but my thistle sack is still buried under the walnut tree. Boy I miss that tree, and so do the birds.
If you have seen some of my eagle pictures from earlier this year then you will recognize the location of this Rivercam. Lots of sandbagging and crest is scheduled for today sometime. This is about 5 minutes from my home.
That is Davenport Iowa Megan You can see great views of the Sky Bridge and people walking across to see the flooding. Usually they park on River Drive, but right now they park on 4th Ave as well 3 blocks are full of river now.
MORNIN' SHARON!!---Aren't they fun to watch???---Yesterday--DEB noticed on the CO EAGLE NEST---(BARTON COVE)--There are at least 8or maybe 9 TURTLE SHELLS!!---CHECK IT OUT!!!
GLO---Laughing at you referring to our EAGLETS as "THE FAMILY"---One might think they are right out of 'THE GODFATHER'---ho!----I admit they are little bandits---(they stole our hearts in a hurry)
Davenport is part of the Quad Cities Norma I live in the Quad Cities but yes on the Illinois side. Lots of sandbagging on both sides today. I am up a hill 22 Aves so I won't have a problem to speak of but sure did get a basement full on Thurs night.
GLO--Just heard on news--that the MISSISSIPPI hasn't crested yet!--I thought you lived near or on that river---IGNORE me--one of the MOMSTERS lives near the MISSISSIPPI---
actually in the Quad Cities is the only place that for a short bit the River runs West to East...take a look at the map. Drives folks who know how to go north south east and west nuts when they try to find their way around. I go left and right though LOL so doesn't bother me a bit BUT it is a piece of trivia.
MORNIN' RED EAGLE!!----You live in the southern part of US---don't you?----Atlanta?----That flooding is scary!!---INDIANA DAVE had lots of water in basement!---Hope his place is dry!!
Well water in the basement is becoming a theme for many on here- just finished cleaning up Satudays rain from my basemnet, it rained so hard the sump pump couldn't pump fast enough. Glad you are at least on high ground GLo. Hello Red.
PA PERGRINE FALCON SITE!!---One FALCON on ledge eating!!---Another flew in & is standing this side of the orange post watching the other one continue eating!!!---hard to see if they are parent or juvie!---I think one of each!----NOT SHARING!--
Yep, Norma, afraid so, and I was just lookling at radar and there are already serious looking storms out there , looks like most of them will go under us, but there will be more later. Gotta go put up netting and tie up some plants, don't want them getting beaten down by the storms.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE... Good to see you on here, Ellen. I have been calling you Diane, I believe. Sorry bout that; got you straight now. Visit with us often!
Good Morning everyone I hope that everyone had a great weekend.I have posted photos of the flood here at my house.a small photo hasn't come up yet but you can see photos on webshots,just click on the small box.I hope it works.
MORNIN' INDIANA DAVE!!---Hope you & your EAGLES have all dried out!!---Is every thing back to normal in your house now!----You are on time to check PAULA'S photos of 6/7---when a few of us went out to the nest!!----Take care!!!
DAVE, those photos are hard to look at...I hope the house with part of the yard and road that has broken away is NOT your house. Just can't imagine the devistation your county must be going through.
GLO... Your town looks like Venice. Get out your boats. Many prayers for all flood victims.
Thanks Wanda, but don't shed any tears for me, things could have been much worse. Life goes on and gardeners always replant:) Walnut is cut up some, but most of trunk is still laying there, chain saw needs repair and we haven't had time to mess with it. trying to find a good one on sale to buy for hubby- he needs a new one.
Good Mornin Dear Ones, update on Dannie Michael. He is home and doing well. Daughter Tonja is worn out, so I have 4 of the grandkids this week. God Bless all of you who ministered to our family durng Dannie's hospitalization with your thughts prayers and well-wishes. I know that God does little outside of prayer, and I am humbled by my Eagle family's outpouring of love and support. Little Dannie is going to be fine. Thanks and much love and many huggs donna-mauley
Megan, if we lived close by, my hubby would have that tree cleared out for you in no time. Wouldn't it be a sight if all of us were neighbors. It would be just like Heaven, don't you think. We could help each other so much. donna
MORNIN'LOLLY-- DONNA & MAGPIE!! GOOD NEWS DONNA!!---So happy that DANNIE is fine now!!!---Prayers have been answered!!---We all have often said---'if i only lived closer....'
MEGAN---I just viewed your photos----That is one BIG WALNUT tree!----Your flowers--birds--trees are so beautiful!!!---It won't be long until you get things together!!!----you are one talented kid!!---Take care!!!
Good morning, everyone. I am working, so can't stay but just wanted to say HI! Paula, I watched your video, that is great. Thank you for doing that. Hope everyone is okay, I am praying for all in the flooded areas and other strong weather. We are really blessed here in these mountains. They deter alot of severe weather.
Got back from the lake last night. It was a good weekend, relaxing which is the name of the game, ya know!!
Ya'll have a great day!! I will be checking in and out. My RP is screwed up of course, but I will keep trying.
Holy Smokes Glo, that old Mississippi sure is taking over Davenport! And, I'm glad you live 22 blocks away and up a hill!!! Thanks for the webcam URL...
Dave, incredible photos, how long did it take for all that water to receed? It sure looks like you live on the "right" side of the road!
Megan, looking at your photos, I really think you were "spared" a much worse devastation. The force it took to "top" those trees must have been a mini-tornado or something like it. Wind shear of some sort anyway. Good thing it didn't get all the way to the ground is all I can say!!!
Prayers for all that you all have gone through and all the clean-up involved! And for all the flooded areas of our country.
Donna, so glad to hear little Dannie is back home...exhaustion comes with motherhood and it's a good thing God gives mothers extra fortitude to deal with it!! (and wonderful grandmothers to help too)You are so right about prayer, it works and we all need it!
Hello- Iris:) yes, we realize it could have been much worse, many around us have way worse damage. The winds were 100 mph- the only reason they did not classify it as a tornado was because they were straight line winds, not circular. That is probably what saved my greenhouse. Later all- off to plant, the hummers are very active out there this morning!
MEI LAN is sleeping on the log above her hammock!!----She is a SWEETHEART!---She has no problem finding something to entertain herself!!----Wouldn't it be wonderful if LUN LUN would be with child!!---ho!
MORNIN' IRIS!----I have been watching all kinds of animals this am!!---I AGREE---MEGAN has beautiful gardens!!---She has shown us pics of all kinds of birds!!---I tell her she should open her gardens to the public!!!
Morning Norma, that is for sure...Beautiful gardens, producing the most beautiful flowers!!! Planted by a beautiful person!!! You cannot beat that combination - for sure!
I was just out in my yard. Just out for a little while and broke out in heavy sweat. (Yes, I sweat, I do not glow!) so, back inside I am for now.
I have a flower garden at church. It is a little prayer garden an Eagle Scout built. Well, he really did not do a proper job, and was not maintaining it, so I took it over. Well, since I have been sick it looks SICK! So, tomorrow, very early, I will go and plant something for the summer. The pansies look pathetic and there are weeds. YUCK!
INDIANA DAVE-----I looked at your flood photos!---I am so very SORRY!----I think you fared better than your neighbors!!----But you are lucky to have so many friends there with you!!---They probably need more help that you do!!---You didn't lose your car did you?---Will keep you in my thoughts!-----take care!
MORNIN' MOVIN'JIM! Where is JO --- Haven't seen DEB--or heard from CHRISSY?---(hope she is better)---Haven't seen JILL forever---or SUNNY or NILLA & some others--Guess it's summer & we all go in different directions!!!!
Good afternoon ya'll!! I was just typing on a patient that had a tick on her for 2 weeks because she thought it was a mole. Now my tick paranoia has come back to life full force!!!
How can I find the pics of floralgirl's storm damage? I am pretty illiterate about this blog stuff.
Hope all are having a good day!! I reckon my sis is with the doc now at Charlottesville.
Good Afternoon - very unusual that I didn't make it in this morning hour! I was watching the US Open Golf - playoff of 18 holes & is being televised. I thought they would have sudden death playoff yesterday but they put it at an 18 hole playoff..
Prayers for our Eagle Eyed Sharon who should be at her Surgeon's appointment.
Sissy - both my cams are down. GLO - Please stay high & dry!!! Paula - Nest visit video is so clear! Just wish I didn't have to hit the start button so often...
Genie Jewell Happy Birthday today and I hope it is very special for you! I sure wish another little GEN would pop into your yard & give you a birthday surprise
Tiger tied yesterday for 1st place. Of course he waited until the very last stroke to do so! Today it is just Tiger and Roscoe Mediate and Tiger is 1 up on Roscoe. I really just go in ever so often to check it out - towards the last couple holes I'll go plant myself in front of tv.
Norma - That's correct - 911 in Berkeley County, over 20-years now. I just came off nights (18-months worth, 12-hour shifts.)
Stormy periods can be rough....We are now working ten-hour days..four on, four off, and every six weeks one of us is "on call" and has to hustle in there in a hurry...so, now, Thunder is rumbling, and I am getting nervous...Take Care, Be Careful, you're only about 65 miles or so from me so you might be getting the storm first! ++ Be Careful, All. ++
NatureNut I am anxious to hear about the eaglet that was found out of the nest. I hope you have a good report on him this evening when you get home from work.........
It is beautiful here right now, blue sky, temp 79, it says mostly cloudy on the weather channel but the sun is out full force. Calling for some thunderstorms tonight. Yeah, I just tried Sharon's phone and it went straight to voice mail so she must still be in the doc's office. Will let you know as soon as I talk to her.
Sharon is on the phone. Told her it could be 6 weeks or more before they hear from the insurance. She is on her way home. She said they took great pics, gonna be in next month's Vogue. HA!!
Anne just emailed me that her plans are to join us in October - for 3 days of sightseeing! Her brother & sil are coming with her! She is excited and I just don't know how she is going to get through the next 3 months thinking about this! lol
She may be interested in another train ride - I told her that Norma should still have her ticket to ride!
I think I am finally caught up on pictures, etc. What a year so far, but glad that the damage wasn't as bad as it could have been for Megan and Dave. Paula, great video!
I took the dogs in and got there hair cut short so I can find the ticks better. I also got anti-tick stuff. The vet said they are bad all over. I haven't had them in my yard before this year, but am up to 4 so far. I don't like them and the dogs don't like me to find one on them.
Hi Deb - I also just found Dave's video of his place - I had looked at Glo's earlier. Very upsetting what the weather does. We're getting rain showers with some thunder every now & then. Nothing severe yet.
Tiger is down a point now. Remember I said One Swing will do it!
Hi Gang,Info I got today on our eaglet was that they found it in the ROAD!!!!Little Dummy! A few wildlife EM #s called would not bother since he/she wasn't injured (they don't think). Then the mother flew in, so they left it alone. It may have done a Tiny "pretend fledge".Heard that it could fly, but not too far and not up high. Hopefully Mom or Dad is nearby and a predator won't get it. (I can't believe I got onto this site!!!!Not supposed to go online!)
The black-chinned Hummingbirds in California are a very active little pair and sounds like they will be fledging soon. Here is the site, or you can connect off Dellwo's (Allen's Hummingbird)
http://www.starrranch.org/stream_bchu.shtml
I got to some other links somehow, while there, including barn owls in a tree cavity with some VERY active and noisy bees.
And remember MEMA JO's comment that the wood duck eggs at CamClickers are probably gonna hatch very soon, today maybe. Mother is on the eggs and turning around end to end often.
Something to do while we are waiting for some action at OUR nest.
Black-chins live cam will stay up for five mins. When it expires, then a page opens up with the links to some other cam sites, including the Barn Owls. I just figured it out because I timed out while I was yapping.
MOVIN - Nature Nut might have to get back to you on that one, but it was not Shepherdstown, it was an eagle nest at the Patuxent River in Maryland near to where she works.
MOVIN - Nature Nut had a post Sunday night around 10:42 pm about it a little, Patuxent River Park (PRP) - so there is some info to tide you over 'til we hear more.
Have you checked out those black-chins today? So funny when the parent comes in to feed them...
Oh My Naturenut - get off the internet, but thank goodness you got an update to us. Tomorrow you take some fish and find that eaglet & toss him some food!!! Hi Magpie! Hope they don't have a need to call you in! Hey There Jim!
Tiger Woods wins U.S. Open in sudden death Whoo Hoo! A win is a win but I'm sure he didn't count on this ending.
All the camclickrs websites are slow. Looking at the Chimney Swift in the nest. Deb sent me a pic yesterday of 2 eggs in that nest. Yepper! She is off the nest and there are 2 very white eggs in the nest.
Hope we soon hear from Chrissy Think of her saying that her Swifts had returned.........
Well, I spoke too soon. There are severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings for our area. The town where Tom works is getting pounded with hail right now. It looks like it is going to skirt around Bluefield, though.
Good to see you back Double E-Sissy. We Missed You. See any good water birds, ducks, geese or anything? How about some alligators and crocodiles, sharks, whales or anything?
I think the blackbirds at NCTC nest, maybe, are Cowbirds...would say crows but they jump around too gracefully for that. Hard to say, color or sound would help with the identification..
DEB - when that wood duck looks up she's looking straight at us isn't she? Once those ducklings start hatching they're gonna start plopping out of that nest like little soldiers pretty quick. Going for a little shut eye, hope to see some action when I get back up !
No magpie, didn't see any exotic animals, not at Claytor Lake. Saw a couple of white-tailed deer. They say there are bald eagles nesting there but I haven't found anyone that actually has seen a nest. It would be a great place, there are high cliffs, tall trees, plenty of fish, etc. Everytime we go out in the boat, we look for them. Sometimes we see a heron i think but i am not sure.
It is fun looking though. Sharon is on her way home from Thelma's. Lots of storms from here to there. Reports of a tornado 10 miles up the road???
Evening everyone---Sorry if I confused Jim and any others about the lost/found eaglet. This is where I work--Patuxent River Park, Upper Marlboro, MD.I posted a pic of (maybe) empty nest last night and have been chronicling developments with pics on this blog. Just click my name. I stopped on the shoulder of the road in the nest area this PM to see if I could find any perching birds & didn't. It was only sprinkling, so I went into my secret woodsy place to see the nest. Looked empty--then the wind & rain picked up, so I dodged falling branches & got to the car & sat for awhile. Some branches fell on the road. My lucky day---nothing fell on me or my car all the way home! This normal, in the wild eagle incident makes me thankful for all the cams we have that have helped in rescuing birds in trouble, such as NBG and Pelican Harbor. AMEN
Glo glad your up a hill hope things stay dry. Wow Ind. Dave thank you for the video and pictures. So So sorry for everyones lost of things around you. Hope the water receeds soon.
Paula I'll have to retry that video. The one at the bottom of your page. It started good and stopped. So I'll give it another try ( :
Glad the answer for Donna's gc is a smiling one.
Megan your flowers are always so great. I love the ones I got last year. You are right I fed it some and back it is. The ones I brought this year are "BEAUTIFUL" ty .
Hope Sharon got good news and insurance answer will come back good.
click on his name then click on indiana nesting eagles 2008 There is a picture of a nest in a tree click on that This brings up webshots go to bottom where it shows a picture of a house and it says "NEW" click there
I did, Dana. I let it sit while I did some other things, then it had loaded and I could play it. At first it did the same thing to me, start then stop.
Don't know if Eaglet brought food in but the nest didn't have any nestovers in it. The black birds this afternoon really checked it over. I hadn't seen any of the eagles feeding in the nest today - but then I had a very late start in watching the cam.
Jo, I thought you were kidding, because I said you might have to push the start button more than once! I have to just hit the start button 2 times, then it plays right away.
It's good to know others can see the photos. When I first posted them, all that was there, along with the text, was a red x with a square around it. About an hour later, it was a photo and not an X.
Wanda Thank you for the photos of Sandra & Tom! Beautiful people!
ok! My Nest Visit video (which I can only find by using the tinyurl) I double clicked to start & it went farther then the first time I viewed in this afternoon. When the Juvie comes down into the nest from the limb above - it stopped on me. I clicked and it only went a smidgen farther before stopping again.
Jo that has happened to me too. This time after it stops I just wait awhile and hit play...it goes alittle more...stops....I wait and hit play and it goes further.
Paula it is so beautiful even with the problem. It is awesome...oh I love the "talking" lol

Yes Norma I do live near the river and it will crest today at least that is what they say right now.
actually in the Quad Cities is the only place that for a short bit the River runs West to East...take a look at the map. Drives folks who know how to go north south east and west nuts when they try to find their way around. I go left and right though LOL so doesn't bother me a bit BUT it is a piece of trivia.
Glo, I hope you are far enough away from the river to stay dry. Have been thinking about you and all your rain. Be careful out there.
Off to coffee and dog treats
MORNIN' RED EAGLE!!----You live in the southern part of US---don't you?----Atlanta?----That flooding is scary!!---INDIANA DAVE had lots of water in basement!---Hope his place is dry!!

Hey Paula, Wanda, and Dave. Posted a few pics of the storm damage on June 4. clcik on pic and then Whatever.
Good morning!! Dave just looked at your pictures. Wow! Quite unbelievable!
We are in need of rain and you have had more than enough to say the least! Guess it is a good thing that it only got in your basement.
Had a great time yesterday with family.
Happy Birthday Genie! Hope you have a great day!
DAVE, those photos are hard to look at...I hope the house with part of the yard and road that has broken away is NOT your house. Just can't imagine the devistation your county must be going through.
GLO...
Your town looks like Venice. Get out your boats. Many prayers for all flood victims.
HEY PAULA!----Looking GOOD!---She really put on a show!!----Seeing BELLE & LIBERTY---that was an extra bonus!!---Thanks---
*****
MEAGAN, I could just cry for you! Have you gotten everything cleared up yet?
PAULA----maybe you should give this an R rating!
Thanks Wanda, but don't shed any tears for me, things could have been much worse. Life goes on and gardeners always replant:) Walnut is cut up some, but most of trunk is still laying there, chain saw needs repair and we haven't had time to mess with it. trying to find a good one on sale to buy for hubby- he needs a new one.
Megan, looked at your pictures. Know that you do miss that walnut tree. Now, I want to see more pictures of your flowers, green house, the yard! :)
LOL Norma, it was either cut out all the audio or leave it all in - I left it all in
Eaglet in the nest!!!
Time to go read the paper. Read about the flooding, etc!!

C ya'll later!!
HI MAGPIE!!---Are you working today?----I remember you worked last night----!
Who is in the nest!!---My RP is working but can't tell who is there now??
Holy Smokes Glo, that old Mississippi sure is taking over Davenport! And, I'm glad you live 22 blocks away and up a hill!!! Thanks for the webcam URL...
Dave, incredible photos, how long did it take for all that water to receed? It sure looks like you live on the "right" side of the road!
Megan, looking at your photos, I really think you were "spared" a much worse devastation. The force it took to "top" those trees must have been a mini-tornado or something like it. Wind shear of some sort anyway. Good thing it didn't get all the way to the ground is all I can say!!!

Donna, so glad to hear little Dannie is back home...exhaustion comes with motherhood and it's a good thing God gives mothers extra fortitude to deal with it!! (and wonderful grandmothers to help too)You are so right about prayer, it works and we all need it!
Thanks Mauley:) glad your grandson is ok. Hello Magpie and Sissy:) ok -Lolly- I posted some pictures of last year's gardens,.
Hello- Iris:) yes, we realize it could have been much worse, many around us have way worse damage. The winds were 100 mph- the only reason they did not classify it as a tornado was because they were straight line winds, not circular. That is probably what saved my greenhouse. Later all- off to plant, the hummers are very active out there this morning!

The live feed is working for me, but it took a while before it cleared enough to see the two juveniles with in the nest.
How's it going for you this morning??
C(°?°)3
Jim
2 pooped out looking eaglets resting in the nest :)
WOW!!! Megan, thanks for the pictures!! BEAUTIFUL!!!! Now I have more of an idea of where you are when you are out to work in the garden. Love it!!
I was just out in my yard. Just out for a little while and broke out in heavy sweat. (Yes, I sweat, I do not glow!) so, back inside I am for now.
I have a flower garden at church. It is a little prayer garden an Eagle Scout built. Well, he really did not do a proper job, and was not maintaining it, so I took it over. Well, since I have been sick it looks SICK! So, tomorrow, very early, I will go and plant something for the summer. The pansies look pathetic and there are weeds. YUCK!
Awwww...you guys are too kind... PB&J time- which reminds me..Where is Jo this morning??
Looks like it was Pearl and Middy in the nest
all rolling black screen now...
INDIANA DAVE-----I looked at your flood photos!---I am so very SORRY!----I think you fared better than your neighbors!!----But you are lucky to have so many friends there with you!!---They probably need more help that you do!!---You didn't lose your car did you?---Will keep you in my thoughts!-----take care!
One juvie left in the nest- back by cam.
yah - maybe Tiny ?
NORMA-BYRD ... not working yet...that could change with one storm....am "on call " all week...

RP is down here...
MORNIN' MOVIN'JIM! Where is JO --- Haven't seen DEB--or heard from CHRISSY?---(hope she is better)---Haven't seen JILL forever---or SUNNY or NILLA & some others--Guess it's summer & we all go in different directions!!!!
Good afternoon ya'll!! I was just typing on a patient that had a tick on her for 2 weeks because she thought it was a mole. Now my tick paranoia has come back to life full force!!!
How can I find the pics of floralgirl's storm damage? I am pretty illiterate about this blog stuff.
Hope all are having a good day!! I reckon my sis is with the doc now at Charlottesville.
WHOA MAGPIE!!---Are you not working today?---awwwww---You have it made!-----KIDDIN'----
are both cameras down"
SISSY!!---Click on MEGAN'S 'FLORALGIRL'----I didn't know SHARON had Dr. appt. today!---Will say a prayer!!----
Thundering here now!---had about 5 min. of rain a min. or so ago!!
Good Afternoon - very unusual that I
didn't make it in this morning hour!
I was watching the US Open Golf - playoff of 18 holes & is being televised. I thought they would have sudden death playoff yesterday but they put it at an 18 hole playoff..
Prayers for our Eagle Eyed Sharon who should be at her Surgeon's appointment.
Thanks so much Normabyrd. Sometimes I forget the simplest things. Floralgirl, you have beautiful flowers. I am so glad you didn't get hit harder.
MAGPIE---I thought you worked at 911 Center in Martinsburg?-----I heard that some where!---I think that would be a hard job!!
Sissy - both my cams are down.
GLO - Please stay high & dry!!!
Paula - Nest visit video is so clear!
Just wish I didn't have to hit the
start button so often...
Genie Jewell
Happy Birthday today and I hope it is very special for you! I sure wish another little GEN would pop into your yard & give you a birthday surprise
MORNIN' JO!----How did TIGER do?
Norma - I wish you could keep the thunder up your way and NOT let it come down the mountain into the valleys.
Tiger tied yesterday for 1st place. Of course he waited until the very last stroke to do so! Today it is just Tiger and Roscoe Mediate and Tiger is 1 up on Roscoe. I really just go in ever so often to check it out - towards the last couple holes I'll go plant myself in front of tv.
MT nest. :(
SEVERE THUNDER STORM WARNING---till 9:00 p.m.----may not reach you folks----
Norma - That's correct - 911 in Berkeley County, over 20-years now. I just came off nights (18-months worth, 12-hour shifts.)
Stormy periods can be rough....We are now working ten-hour days..four on, four off, and every six weeks one of us is "on call" and has to hustle in there in a hurry...so, now, Thunder is rumbling, and I am getting nervous...Take Care, Be Careful, you're only about 65 miles or so from me so you might be getting the storm first!
++ Be Careful, All. ++
xoxo
SIGNING OFF---DARK SKIES & THUNDER!!!
WAX FOR SHARON!
RAINING TOO!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEWELL/Genie!!!
Hope you have a great day and Gertrude and Ralph surprise you with an new little Gen!!!
My still cam just cleared...
No RP yet...
yeah, jo, the still camera is clear now. Maybe the RP is next!!
NORMA
No more WAX per Dana
You just gave away your
Poop Facial ARGH........
Is the weather clear our your way Sissy? Starting to look weird outside here...
Anxious to hear from your sister!!
NatureNut
I am anxious to hear about the eaglet that was found out of the nest. I hope you have a good report on him this evening when you get home from work.........
It's raining here now, heavy at times, fairly calm, no thunder or lightning, but it looks like there is a stronger storm headed at us.
It is beautiful here right now, blue sky, temp 79, it says mostly cloudy on the weather channel but the sun is out full force. Calling for some thunderstorms tonight. Yeah, I just tried Sharon's phone and it went straight to voice mail so she must still be in the doc's office. Will let you know as soon as I talk to her.
Starting with the rain now. Megan
I think you're right about heavier storms later today. It is soooooooo
still outside..
Tiger is up by 2 points...
That could change with the swing of
a club! lol
Sharon is on the phone. Told her it could be 6 weeks or more before they hear from the insurance. She is on her way home. She said they took great pics, gonna be in next month's Vogue. HA!!
WHOO HOO! WOW! Belly Pics!
Anne just emailed me that her plans are to join us in October - for 3 days of sightseeing! Her brother & sil are coming with her! She is excited and I just don't know how she is going to get through the next 3 months thinking about this! lol
She may be interested in another train ride - I told her that Norma should still have her ticket to ride!
You can't see too much right now but the forum states that there has been a hatching in the TX Wood Duck box
TX WOOD DUCK SITE -
I think I am finally caught up on pictures, etc. What a year so far, but glad that the damage wasn't as bad as it could have been for Megan and Dave. Paula, great video!
I took the dogs in and got there hair cut short so I can find the ticks better. I also got anti-tick stuff. The vet said they are bad all over. I haven't had them in my yard before this year, but am up to 4 so far. I don't like them and the dogs don't like me to find one on them.
Where, Oh Where, have our little birds gone? Where Oh Where can they be?
Maybe they are down at the river learning to fish. Or above the nest snoozing?
Hi Deb - I also just found Dave's video of his place - I had looked at Glo's earlier. Very upsetting what the weather does. We're getting rain showers with some thunder every now & then. Nothing severe yet.
Tiger is down a point now. Remember I said One Swing will do it!
Deb - I'll BBILW
Hi Gang,Info I got today on our eaglet was that they found it in the ROAD!!!!Little Dummy! A few wildlife EM #s called would not bother since he/she wasn't injured (they don't think). Then the mother flew in, so they left it alone. It may have done a Tiny "pretend fledge".Heard that it could fly, but not too far and not up high. Hopefully Mom or Dad is nearby and a predator won't get it. (I can't believe I got onto this site!!!!Not supposed to go online!)
Naturenut, I haven't been following the story.
Are you talking about No. 3 in our nest? Here in Shepherdstown?
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
The black-chinned Hummingbirds in California are a very active little pair and sounds like they will be fledging soon. Here is the site, or you can connect off Dellwo's (Allen's Hummingbird)
http://www.starrranch.org/stream_bchu.shtml
I got to some other links somehow, while there, including barn owls in a tree cavity with some VERY active and noisy bees.
And remember MEMA JO's comment that the wood duck eggs at CamClickers are probably gonna hatch very soon, today maybe. Mother is on the eggs and turning around end to end often.
Something to do while we are waiting for some action at OUR nest.
Storms seem passed for now...
Black-chins live cam will stay up for five mins. When it expires, then a page opens up with the links to some other cam sites, including the Barn Owls. I just figured it out because I timed out while I was yapping.
MOVIN - Nature Nut might have to get back to you on that one, but it was not Shepherdstown, it was an eagle nest at the Patuxent River in Maryland near to where she works.
MOVIN - Nature Nut had a post Sunday night around 10:42 pm about it a little, Patuxent River Park (PRP) - so there is some info to tide you over 'til we hear more.
Have you checked out those black-chins today? So funny when the parent comes in to feed them...
Oh My Naturenut - get off the internet, but thank goodness you got an update to us. Tomorrow you take some fish and find that eaglet & toss him some food!!!
Hi Magpie! Hope they don't have a need to call you in!
Hey There Jim!
Tiger Woods wins U.S. Open in sudden death Whoo Hoo! A win is a win but I'm sure he didn't count on this ending.
All the camclickrs websites are slow.
Looking at the Chimney Swift in the nest. Deb sent me a pic yesterday of 2 eggs in that nest. Yepper! She is off the nest and there are 2 very white eggs in the nest.
Hope we soon hear from Chrissy
Think of her saying that her Swifts had returned.........
LIVE FEED IS BACK UP!
Well, I spoke too soon. There are severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings for our area. The town where Tom works is getting pounded with hail right now. It looks like it is going to skirt around Bluefield, though.
calling for nickel size hail, 60 mph winds. Princeton is getting pounded (that's where Tom works)
Now if we could get non-static reception and a couple of eaglets to fly in - we'd be all set!
MT Nest
Take care Sissy & hope Tom gets home safely.
Little bird at 12:-- position..
Black bird looking for nestovers I guess - Now there are 2.
They just might turn out to be a nestover!!
Absolutely. That is definitely not the best place to forage for food.
ANNE-MARIE - emailed prayer to Momsters group. Well, twice in fact until I figured out what I was doing! Hope your friend is doing well...
Did I miss a bird in our nest?
MEMA JO -- haven't gotten snagged yet! Must be your power of positive thinking.
Talking about food - Time to eat in this nest!
BBILW
Big Wingersizes at Barton Cove...they just had rain there, probably shaking off the water like a wet puppy would do...
*** Just some black birds (crows)
***Momster email came through
You did good on the first try!
Will save it in my special folder
BBL
OK - Thanks Mema Jo, hey could you email or blog me some dinner please? I don't feel like cooking. xo I'll send you another quip if you do!
Well, I'll send you another one anyway...just to pass the time while we are awaiting LibertyBelleTinyMiddyPearl
"Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes."
I'll have to find something to earn me a ROFLMBO...
I see those little birds at our nest now, two of them..gonna get my binoculars so I can get a better look and try to ID them...
Good to see you back Double E-Sissy.
We Missed You. See any good water birds, ducks, geese or anything?
How about some alligators and crocodiles, sharks, whales or anything?
I think the blackbirds at NCTC nest, maybe, are Cowbirds...would say crows but they jump around too gracefully for that. Hard to say, color or sound would help with the identification..
Good quip, I get a chuckle out of them. I thought I saw a wood duckling, but now the mom duck moved.
DEB - when that wood duck looks up she's looking straight at us isn't she? Once those ducklings start hatching they're gonna start plopping out of that nest like little soldiers pretty quick. Going for a little shut eye, hope to see some action when I get back up !
Wonder what those furry looking "hot dogs" are in the Barton Cove nest?
Live feed is gone again.
I am heading out to mow. It seems like I just did it.
I know you said you were going to get some shut eye but I had to let you know that I LOVED THAT ONE! ROFLMBO
Bye Bye I got your shoes!!!
I have 3 emails filled with pics of
my new great grand baby who is home from the Hospital & who is very photogenic! Just like her big sister!
Need to download into my albums....
BBL
No magpie, didn't see any exotic animals, not at Claytor Lake. Saw a couple of white-tailed deer. They say there are bald eagles nesting there but I haven't found anyone that actually has seen a nest. It would be a great place, there are high cliffs, tall trees, plenty of fish, etc. Everytime we go out in the boat, we look for them. Sometimes we see a heron i think but i am not sure.
It is fun looking though. Sharon is on her way home from Thelma's. Lots of storms from here to there. Reports of a tornado 10 miles up the road???
Mema Jo, can't wait to see those pics.
I must have seen a foot or something on the wood duck site, no babies.
I am halfway done with the backyard, had to feed the dogs and see if we had any eaglets in the nest.
Evening everyone---Sorry if I confused Jim and any others about the lost/found eaglet. This is where I work--Patuxent River Park, Upper Marlboro, MD.I posted a pic of (maybe) empty nest last night and have been chronicling developments with pics on this blog. Just click my name.
I stopped on the shoulder of the road in the nest area this PM to see if I could find any perching birds & didn't. It was only sprinkling, so I went into my secret woodsy place to see the nest. Looked empty--then the wind & rain picked up, so I dodged falling branches & got to the car & sat for awhile. Some branches fell on the road. My lucky day---nothing fell on me or my car all the way home!
This normal, in the wild eagle incident makes me thankful for all the cams we have that have helped in rescuing birds in trouble, such as NBG and Pelican Harbor.
AMEN
MT nest and RP is down!
Paula, my RP has been down almost all day.
I am not loving this empty nest thing, I'll tell ya!! :(
Good Monday evening all my eagle friends ( :
Glo glad your up a hill hope things stay dry.
Wow Ind. Dave thank you for the video and pictures. So So sorry for everyones lost of things around you. Hope the water receeds soon.
Paula I'll have to retry that video. The one at the bottom of your page. It started good and stopped. So I'll give it another try ( :
Glad the answer for Donna's gc is a smiling one.
Megan your flowers are always so great. I love the ones I got last year. You are right I fed it some and back it is. The ones I brought this year are "BEAUTIFUL" ty .
Hope Sharon got good news and insurance answer will come back good.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GENIE
Good evening all. Sounds like an awfully quiet MT day at our nest. Boo! Not having ANY luck finding Indiana Dave's pics....help!?!?
Click here for Dave's pictures:
ID's pictures
Thanks, Deb!
click on his name
then click on indiana nesting eagles 2008
There is a picture of a nest in a tree click on that
This brings up webshots go to bottom where it shows a picture of a house and it says "NEW" click there
OK thanks Deb I haven't learnt how to do the tiny URL's
Deb did you get Paula's video to work? I can't it starts and when it gets to wing excerising it stops.
Eaglet just plopped into our nest
TY, too, Dana. Deb's link worked, but next time I'll just open whatever Dave has listed and look in each album!
Eaglet in our nesT!!!
Eaglet still there
Spidey has started the web
On the refresh feed Jo?
Eaglet looks like it is eating..
Dana what browser are you using? I am using IE6 and it is working fine...
Yes, Dana - the still cam
Real Player still down as far as
I know. Have not tried it since I've
signed on again. I had gone to the
grocery store .........
I did, Dana. I let it sit while I did some other things, then it had loaded and I could play it. At first it did the same thing to me, start then stop.
Eaglet looks like it is eating..
Dana what browser are you using? I am using IE6 and it is working fine...
EAGLET IN OUT NEST!
I see I am behind the times.
Paula I have Firefox - The video was so very clear but as Dana said, I had to keep hitting the start button as it stopped quite frequently
Hmmm, must depend upon the browser...starts playing for me right away.
Daggone, eaglet is gone!
Don't know if Eaglet brought food in but the nest didn't have any nestovers in it. The black birds this afternoon really checked it over.
I hadn't seen any of the eagles feeding in the nest today - but then I had a very late start in watching the cam.
H-viller- Did you sell any antiques today ?
Jo, I thought you were kidding, because I said you might have to push the start button more than once! I have to just hit the start button 2 times, then it plays right away.
MT NEST
Jo, there were 2 in the nest this morning eating.
Well, at least one was!
I had the same problem as Dana. I had to keep clicking on PLAY.
Paula - Let me try it again and see how it does.
Oh, these 'puters are tricky. I posted some photos of Sandra & Tom and sometimes you can see them and other times you can't. Go figure.
I saw Sandra and Tom, Wanda, I just looked now. Good Pictures!
I have IE 6 but will continue to retry ty all (((hugs)))
I see them too, Wanda. And cool, you posted the Andrew Wyeth painting...I do recall that one now.
It's good to know others can see the photos. When I first posted them, all that was there, along with the text, was a red x with a square around it. About an hour later, it was a photo and not an X.
A few sales, Jo, but nothing worth anything!! But had 21 customers, so it wasn't too boring!
Ok I have exactly where mine stops at: It shows the tree and eagle and Paula says at the nest at 10 o'clock then it stop and won't play
Wanda Thank you for the photos of Sandra & Tom! Beautiful people!
ok! My Nest Visit video (which I can only find by using the tinyurl)
I double clicked to start & it went farther then the first time I viewed in this afternoon.
When the Juvie comes down into the nest from the limb above - it stopped on me. I clicked and it only went a smidgen farther before stopping again.
Jo that has happened to me too. This time after it stops I just wait awhile and hit play...it goes alittle more...stops....I wait and hit play and it goes further.
Paula it is so beautiful even with the problem. It is awesome...oh I love the "talking" lol
The video is on eagletmomsters.com, Jo, on the history page. I will see what I can find out as to why it has issues playing for some people.
Now, it does stop on me also,then it load some more, then continues playing. But all videos do that to me on this older machine...youtube included.
It played fine on my computer at work today.
Thanks for the input...going to go look for info
