Looks like they have made there way to the bottom of the snow in a couple of places. I hope they have gone out for lunch but my guess is they are at the hardware store.
Great to see the SUNSHINE and all of you here on the blog. I have been reading but I have also been having a horrible time trying to get the Outdoor live feed.. It keeps telling me it can't show the video.. I think it really means the ad video. At times when it starts I have the nest pic up for a few seconds. I know that I have the Adobe 10 upgrade.. Last night through the link on the BWE blog I was able without any problem to open it - of course it was so dark and I couldn't see anything. So I am relying on your comments concerning the nest activities and I do have the still cam up.
Thank you Dana for keeping all of us from wondering if you were ok! Guess you would still be in the house like the rest of us - we all need some snowshoes or a dog sled.. Stay safe & warm like the rest of us are trying to do. ((hugs))
Well Kind of disappointed to hear its leaves and not dug down but I guess its something a little drier to sit on. I am thrilled to see some melting even on duct tape or whatever. The sun has some warmth and hopefully will help our pair a little with all that mess dumped in their beautiful home they have worked so hard to prepare.
Since I have a winter storm watch , even though its not really sunny the clouds are bright to some degree. I think Dex and I will head on out to the Dam for a while this afternoon before we get snowed back in again for a few days.
Well we did walk to the store. Jim my friend Betty and myself. Little rough. Betty fell but in a snow drift. Store was fine. Lots of bread. Before we left we watched the falcon on a roof deck top eating his catch.
Well it was throwing feathers all over the place. another starling bit the dust. Don't tell anyone but my live feed in coming on without a commercial Eagle laying in nest
Well we think there are 2 that have been laid and well no one including Lib and Belle seem to know where they are. I personally do not think either are viable but that is just my opinion. I am sure there are folks with many different thoughts about the eggs etc.
yep just kind of another way of saying what Sissy said. All is not lost for sure. I so wish we could help them get that snow out of their nest but of course thats not in our hands either.
Thank you Glo, I know that nature is a beautiful thing and the eagles can persevere. But my heart goes out to them when the elements are so harsh and I feel so helpless. I love these eagles and feel as if we are all family here and I read the posts and feel everyones heartbreak. Sometimes it's too much for me to watch and I haven't been able to bring myself to watch Belle and Lib since the egg cup filled with snow. It hurts too much, but I can't stay away either.
Well Hedgie I don't think Dana is going to see that message. I am not sure why she thinks she can't stay on the computer as long as she has electricity. I hope that stays true for all of you. Today should overall be better in the region I would think.
Hey Donka I did not watch for nearly 18 hours. I just read the blog occasionally and actually Fri night I sent a message to MeMa Jo for the blog and turned it all off. I can't do it either. I did it back a couple of years ago and knew how it would look and feel and i didn't need to see that again.
I had pointed out yesterday what I thought was an egg but others think its too small. Either way its too cold for too long so doesn't much matter at this point.
I know this is tough on Lib and Belle too in their own way they must put these pieces together and accept where they are and continue to move forward. They have given us many signs and a couple of HP sounds that say they can and will be doing just that. Its hard but right now there is much to look forward too for them. They are young and healthy and its early in their season. They will be fine and my bet would be on a family just not sure when or how many.
Yes Glo, I know they are still doing the HP. I am hopeful too that they will have another clutch. Jim's blog from the other day mentioned something about 3 years ago something/same thing happened at the Belle and Lib's nest but I wasn't onto this site back then. I asked Jim what happened but he never replied, so I assumed that it was very similar back then. Thanks for the info. Have a good day, got to prepare for our Superbowl guests, will try to get back on later.
The last time, the eggs were at hatching time. We had watched them incubating the eggs for about 5 weeks and then nothing. It was really heartbreaking.
Happy Super Bowl Day!!! They're playing in Helen's honor. Too bad it's not any of her Fave teams!
Lunch going on in nest. I really think someone was in the nest most of the night. Could be instinct w/the new egg. Not good conditions~~~can see some original material in bottom of nest bowl, BUT surrounding snow is NO good.
Hello all. Just checked in and finished reading the blog in time to see both poarents land in nest. I was so glad that no one was sitting in the egg cup. Hopefully they are going to start over again.
Hope everyone is still safe and warm in their nests. Anyone hear from Megan yet this am? My heart went out to she and her hubby. Hope they are just recuperating from their hours of shoveling.
Glo, you and Dex be careful out there if you go to watch the eagles.
Paula, thanks so much for staying calm and giving us all the info about the whole deak abd to you all for all the wonderful pics that you all shared with us.
If Dana was willing to share a big space ship, it might just be able to take the snow off all your properties. :)
Well I see that the nest is well "covered" by you all, so guess I'll go and made out my valentines for the children in my class. AND Carolina Tar Heels are on at two. It has been a losing season, but after winning the championship last year and losing a lot of guys, I'll stick with them.
and whoever said Lib is a keeper...I know all of us think that...so do many others...just love watching these eagles....the good and the bad...there is so much to learn from them.
Hi all! Home from church. A slight rain falling here, 43, and yukky. Heading to the kitchen to make mini crust less quiches to take to Dallas. Already made some marinated cheese, both new recipes. The cheese is really good. Made it last night and then set it out this morning to get to room temp.
Bothers me to see eagle in the nest cup. I thought I saw an egg. Want them to work on bringing more fluff in. Oh, well.
Back to the kitchen. We will be leaving in 2 hours. Will be back before we leave.
Shirley when we walked to the store we saw a lot of downed limbs. If I saw a tree with snow bent down I carefully got as much snow off as possible. Jim and Betty were ahead of me and Betty started talking to a complete stranger thinking it was me next to her. Mits they should name the osprey in Florida after you. Born on your birthday.
incidentally, my white greenhouse pics (of my Blazer) were from 1) before the snow and 2) Friday night after I had already cleaned the car off at least once...plowed lot came much later, some of which I had to do myself
I just finished a very long loving web cam call from Germany! To hear the littlest one (Izzy) say Me -- Ma made my heart jump! Sammy was showing me her cheer leading skills! Patrick is going to be rooting for the Saints but game time over there is midnight! Christine is great! Sammy is counting days or should I say months as to when they would come back into the states - she has her heart set on MD or NY. Was a very good call and connection was perfect.
there is a link on BWO for the Dunedin information....takes you to two other links. Now I know how to pronounce Dunedin - like this: Dunn EA din with the accent on the second syllable...
Let me know if the update works Mema Jo. I've been having lots of trouble too. Which team are you fine folks wanting to win the game today? I'm going for the Colts. A friend of mine, who has them as his number one team, would be very happy. I also like their attitude and humility. Peyton is great too. I said this earlier but we had a split. I may of missed you all talking about it.
Hi Jo. Great you had such a nice visit with the Germany group. Sounds like they are all doing just fine. Wishing for MD when they return -- closer than NY for lots of visits.
Ceil, did you feel as if you were having an out-of-body experience watching someone talk to you while you watched?
Judie! only you...(re: Ceil) you bring a lot of roflmbo's to us...hope you are doing well... I am going to head outside and might FALL on my b rather than roll on floor and laugh it off
To Donka Maria: If memory serves me right, three years ago we had our first hatch just hours before a very large storm. Although Belle and Lib did their very best, we had no eaglets that year. :-( They continued to try incubating the eggs long after they should have hatched, and it was very sad to watch. Hopefully, since it's so much earlier this year, we'll get a second clutch.
Jo, great you could visi9t w/the Germany gang!!! Hear a real nice songbird chirping at nest. Margy mentioned adult leaving about 1/2 hour ago!? I agree w/Donka Maria---dwnlded empty nest pic & it sure looks like one egg in bottom left of shadowed area in bowl. We still think they need a canopy! Maybe a pine tree like NBG is a good nesting tree. Whatever....
Hey Margy, head on over my way with your shovel. Be careful out there. Don't want YOU making a 911 call -- you'd never live it down. Wannabe adult teen still hasn't shown up. Should have let the neighbor shovel -- would have been free.
Hello all chiming back in! Me, too. Margy, thanks for clarifying about the parking lot! LOL! Dunedin news is great....happy for that pair. Judie, your sammiches sound yummy! And Lolly's food for the big game party does, too. T-bird, I REALLY don't care who wins the game.....don't really even care to watch, but probably will for the ADS!!
Judy I didn't know she was talking to me until I heard her say I'm sorry I thought my friend was here. Lynn our paper was published but we did not get one.
Poof! Gotta get some stuff done before Din Din.... I think I favor Who Dat as they are the underdogs & that city needs some cheer. I like Manning, too & he is one of the best. Should be good game.
Had the live feed up, looks like more fluff for the nest. Also it's good to see Lib keeps bringing the fish. Those bones are full of calcium for egg shells. Thank you all for answering my questions and keeping me up to date. Enjoy your Superbowl Sunday everyone.
Im extremely worried about our eagles and the egg or eggs they have left for long periods of time. what do you think is going to happen? will they just have more eggs? Lori from atlanta...I watched her get covered up yesterday and last night..bless her heart!!
Yes, Paula! I don't think I make that much noise when I eat fish!! LOL But then I think their beaks have more surface area than my teeth! Was supposed to go to dentist Mon. for a dreaded extraction, but cancelled--told machine I was snowed in!!!Xray he did showed bad area around roots (molar). Tooth didn't hurt, just gum tender--had Pen VK. "If it don't hurt, don't yank it!!!" I use it a lot!
I am in awe of Lib and Belle in spite of the weather and losing the eggs, they are still continuing with the nestorations and bringing in more fluff. People could learn a thing a two from our eagles.
Glo, is Steve allowed to do that? While he's at it could he build a canopy above the nest? I heard we are supposed to get "Round 3" of snow Tuesday or Wednesday at NBG.
well my guess is if anyone at NCTC placed a bale of hay anywhere within site of the sycamore they would very likely have some eagles headed there for dry and actually warm bedding for their nest. Will he or anyone...hmmmm I would be surprised but it could happen. Certainly don't have to approach the tree to put hay inthe site of an eagle.
EagleEyeSharon, you are right about dropping in through a canopy. LOL. I just wish there were more cover over head so if/when more snow comes the nest had a little protection, but I guess when you have a blizzard, nothing is safe from the elements.
Will and I have decided to go out for dinner. If it looks too bad out there, we will turn around and come back. The streets in the neighborhood have been plowed, but not very well.
Interesting collection of sticks in the nest. They are really trying to start their new family.
Hi everyone. Just checking in after the horrific snowstorm. Read the posts about our loss, but see our pair is rebuilding - at least that's what it looks like to me - I can't see an egg.
Watching all the super bowl pre-game entertainment, etc. Will be checking back periodically. Hope everyone is safe and warm.
I've been off of here most of the afternoon.. Our circle is cleared of snow and hopefully with the sun tomorrow as it was today there will be more melting.
As for our nest - Night light is on and there is our vigilant eagle where the egg cup is under the snow. From all the comments they have had a very busy day.
Paula... that is some icicle...your avatar.....as Hedgie says, DO NOT stand under it ☺
Wanda and Gene are in visiting with GG...their good neighbor Stanley finished getting their driveway clear...and the son of one of GG's neighbors was snow-plowing and snowblowing butt! GG's driveway is clear... Roads, are a challenge.... xo
The only call I have gotten from work was one of the supervisors telling my our coffee pot in there is broken, so plan for it! I am so blessed, not to have gotten called in this week-end...Thank you all and God, for helping to make that be like it is... xoxo ♥
so sorry I wasn't here to hear Carrie Underwood...guess I can YouTube that also... right now I have to put a meal on the table for the housebird...the Magpie !
Like Queen Latifa but not her interpretation. Carrie Underwood was good.
So nice GG's drive is cleared. Kid who agreed to clear our walk/drive said he would be here tomorrow -- upped his supply/demand price from $40 to $100. Looking for a different kid. We DO NOT have a huge area. Opportunistic kid! Hope he ends up at GW and in one of my classes -- tee hee!
Jo, nice that your circle is clear of snow. Can't wait to see you on the news sledding by the SHEETZ.
Judie, I tried to get your attention last night. I think your Darth was at my house secretly shoveling my driveway and posing as Will in a paintball mask. Check my blog.
Lori, we believe, and now Lib and Belle believe the egg is not viable, it fell into a small hole they dug in the egg cup, and they couldn't get it out. I am talking about the second egg she laid yesterday afternoon. The first one became buried in the snow. We haven't seen the second one since late yesterday afternoon.
Oh, Shirley. Sorry I missed the blog about Darth shoveling snow disguised as Will. The sad truth is that I cannot control Darth. He frequently disappears, disguises himself, and tries to "entice" the ladies with his "do good" act. However, checked at halftime and he is downstairs happily watching the Super Bowl through closed eyelids.

Thanks Glo and Steve.
Good morning everybody again!
Looks like they have made there way to the bottom of the snow in a couple of places. I hope they have gone out for lunch but my guess is they are at the hardware store.
Thanks for the new thread Steve. Hope you are getting dug out!
Glo, that dark spot in the egg cup is leaves they brought in
Thanks STEVE for the SUNNY THREAD!!
MORNIN' AGAIN GLO--SHIRLEY--SHARON & PAULA!!---How wonderful to see blue skies & SUNSHINE!!!
Thanks for the new Sunday thread, Steve. Beautiful, crisp picture too.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Thanks for telling me about the thread, Paula.
The prob with the feed must between here and there. I tried it with IE, and it is working, but the twirling arrow just keeps twirling.
Better than the blank screen with error message though.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Eagle back in the egg cup..digging arranging
Hmmm first wiggle down I have seen, wonder if she dug up an egg
Up and gone
I wasn't seeing the eagle in the IE version, restored it, and now it seems to be working in that browser ... never showed the commercial though.....
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Great to see the SUNSHINE and all of you here on the blog.
I have been reading but I have also been having a horrible time trying to get the Outdoor live feed.. It keeps telling me it can't show the video..
I think it really means the ad video.
At times when it starts I have the nest pic up for a few seconds. I know that I have the Adobe 10 upgrade..
Last night through the link on the BWE blog I was able without any problem to open it - of course it was so dark and I couldn't see anything.
So I am relying on your comments concerning the nest activities and I do have the still cam up.
Just got on to say I'm still here.
We need Nu to climb the tree with a shovel! Nu, we need you!!!
Mornin' JO!---I had that trouble earlier!!---It just wouldn't open!
i would kill for a newspaper---
I see liquid running down the tree so something is melting there.
Thank you Dana for keeping all of us from wondering if you were ok!
Guess you would still be in the house like the rest of us - we all need some snowshoes or a dog sled..
Stay safe & warm like the rest of us are trying to do. ((hugs))
Norma I don't think that the papers even went to press yesterday for today's Sunday News!
Norma, I don't know if you saw my "good morning" on the other thread... but good morning to you.
Try bringing up your favorite newspaper on the computer. You can at least read the front page.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Eagle just arrived with a stick
GOOD AFTERNOON DANA!---Great to see your smiling face!!---Have you gotten dug out yet?---I'm not--but pray it will be soon!!
Laying in the egg cup
Ah yes, Sharon, can see the gorilla tape!
Well Norma I'm glad then I don't live close by you "you would kill for a newspaper" just kidding lol
Happy Birthday Mits--I hope snow was your wish because we got it.
Contragulations on new baby.
Don't know when I will be dug out. Just tried keeping the snow away from the two doors. Porch is build right up to door. That was hard enough on me.
Maybe a BIG UFO (like a crock pot lid) will fly over my house and just melt all this away. I WISH I WISH I WISH .... tee hee
good morning again, thanks, Glo for call over.
1st hatch for Dunedin Osprey nest this a.m.
Washington comPost got here about an hour ago.
Well Kind of disappointed to hear its leaves and not dug down but I guess its something a little drier to sit on. I am thrilled to see some melting even on duct tape or whatever. The sun has some warmth and hopefully will help our pair a little with all that mess dumped in their beautiful home they have worked so hard to prepare.
Since I have a winter storm watch , even though its not really sunny the clouds are bright to some degree. I think Dex and I will head on out to the Dam for a while this afternoon before we get snowed back in again for a few days.
Well I WISH a BIG UFO (crock pot lid) would fly over the house and put all the heat down and melt aways all this snow.
I heard 81 is terrible...all this snow and even if you dig out no place to go.
Well I don't want to keep things on just incase. I want to keep electric.
Everyone be careful and safe.
Well we did walk to the store. Jim my friend Betty and myself. Little rough. Betty fell but in a snow drift. Store was fine. Lots of bread. Before we left we watched the falcon on a roof deck top eating his catch.
Both eagles are sunning on a branch at NBG. Take a look.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
that falcon sure gets around, glad he is eating there and not leaving remains in your backyard like a few weeks ago.
Well it was throwing feathers all over the place. another starling bit the dust.
Don't tell anyone but my live feed in coming on without a commercial
Eagle laying in nest
Good afternoon everyone. I was wondering what y'all think about the nest, the eggs, are they viable and how many eggs do we think are in the nest?
Oh and I hope everyone is safe and warm and getting through this horrific snow event.
Well we think there are 2 that have been laid and well no one including Lib and Belle seem to know where they are. I personally do not think either are viable but that is just my opinion. I am sure there are folks with many different thoughts about the eggs etc.
New day, new thread, new HOPE! My hope is for a fresh start and a new clutch!! We have so much ice under our snow, Tom couldn't budge it.
I just wanted to add though that I think there is an excellent chance of more viable eggs since we are so early in the season.
I just upgraded my adobe Flash Player.. I thought they were referring to Adobe Reader....... We'll see what
happens.
yep just kind of another way of saying what Sissy said. All is not lost for sure. I so wish we could help them get that snow out of their nest but of course thats not in our hands either.
Good luck MeMa Jo I am having lunch and then as long as clouds don't darken , Dex and i are headed on out of here for a few hours.
weather for nest....
This Afternoon
Mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 20s. Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph.
Tonight
Mostly clear. Cold with lows around 8 above. Northwest winds around 5 mph.
Monday
Sunny. Highs in the lower 30s. Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph.
amen;)
LOL, CEil, glad it.s working for you well. And glad your trip was a safe one! Yep, that bird gets around.
Hey, Dana, using your computer won't affect having electricity!!! It's not like they base an outage on usage!!! Tee-hee--ing you!!!
I'm like Norma----would kill for a real paper in my hands!! I'm such a junkie.
Thank you Glo, I know that nature is a beautiful thing and the eagles can persevere. But my heart goes out to them when the elements are so harsh and I feel so helpless. I love these eagles and feel as if we are all family here and I read the posts and feel everyones heartbreak. Sometimes it's too much for me to watch and I haven't been able to bring myself to watch Belle and Lib since the egg cup filled with snow. It hurts too much, but I can't stay away either.
Well Hedgie I don't think Dana is going to see that message. I am not sure why she thinks she can't stay on the computer as long as she has electricity. I hope that stays true for all of you. Today should overall be better in the region I would think.
Is that an egg to the left of the egg cup or is it just my imagination?
Hey Donka I did not watch for nearly 18 hours. I just read the blog occasionally and actually Fri night I sent a message to MeMa Jo for the blog and turned it all off. I can't do it either. I did it back a couple of years ago and knew how it would look and feel and i didn't need to see that again.
I had pointed out yesterday what I thought was an egg but others think its too small. Either way its too cold for too long so doesn't much matter at this point.
I know this is tough on Lib and Belle too in their own way they must put these pieces together and accept where they are and continue to move forward. They have given us many signs and a couple of HP sounds that say they can and will be doing just that. Its hard but right now there is much to look forward too for them. They are young and healthy and its early in their season. They will be fine and my bet would be on a family just not sure when or how many.
OK be back later. Enjoy your afternoon everyone. be warm and safe.
Didn't work - Must be something blocking it - will need to investigate farther. Still cam is great and your comments will keep me up to date.
Waiting on a web cam call from Germany..
Yes Glo, I know they are still doing the HP. I am hopeful too that they will have another clutch. Jim's blog from the other day mentioned something about 3 years ago something/same thing happened at the Belle and Lib's nest but I wasn't onto this site back then. I asked Jim what happened but he never replied, so I assumed that it was very similar back then. Thanks for the info. Have a good day, got to prepare for our Superbowl guests, will try to get back on later.
Food!
Bless his heart its lunch. I tell that mans a keeper :-) He even called her down to come and get it.
Eagles have landed
Lib brought something big for lunch, not sure what it is
OK took my last bite. We are really leaving now bu ti am glad to see the food come in before I go.
The last time, the eggs were at hatching time. We had watched them incubating the eggs for about 5 weeks and then nothing. It was really heartbreaking.
Happy Super Bowl Day!!!
They're playing in Helen's honor. Too bad it's not any of her Fave teams!
Lunch going on in nest. I really think someone was in the nest most of the night. Could be instinct w/the new egg. Not good conditions~~~can see some original material in bottom of nest bowl, BUT surrounding snow is NO good.
Hello all. Just checked in and finished reading the blog in time to see both poarents land in nest. I was so glad that no one was sitting in the egg cup. Hopefully they are going to start over again.
Hope everyone is still safe and warm in their nests. Anyone hear from Megan yet this am? My heart went out to she and her hubby. Hope they are just recuperating from their hours of shoveling.
Glo, you and Dex be careful out there if you go to watch the eagles.
Paula, thanks so much for staying calm and giving us all the info about the whole deak abd to you all for all the wonderful pics that you all shared with us.
If Dana was willing to share a big space ship, it might just be able to take the snow off all your properties. :)
Oh that is righ!
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Mits,
Happy Birthday to yooooouuuuuuuu!
May you have many more wonderful years ahead!
That must be a fish...she sure is enjoying it
Lynn- great idea on the french toast...fixed some, it was great.
Ceil - how cool for you to see the falcon...better start bringing your camera with you.
Dana - glad you checked in!
Well I see that the nest is well "covered" by you all, so guess I'll go and made out my valentines for the children in my class. AND Carolina Tar Heels are on at two. It has been a losing season, but after winning the championship last year and losing a lot of guys, I'll stick with them.
You all stay warm and dry. L
Donka...there was big snow/ice storm just as the eggs were ready to hatch. we think they got too cold and none of them hatched...there were 3
and whoever said Lib is a keeper...I know all of us think that...so do many others...just love watching these eagles....the good and the bad...there is so much to learn from them.
Oh and I haven't noticed any commercials either...maybe a commercial free Sunday?
That fish is just about history!
Lunch is over. Grilled cheese with crispy bacon inside -- a treat for us.
Waiting for the snow removal kid to show up. Not much to do except read for school, watch Food Network, and not be so angry with Mother Nature.
Hope all those who prepared lots of food for Super Bowl parties have friends who can get through the snow or share with neighbors.
Back to reading.
I also noticed no commercials. Maybe Outdoor Channel took pity in our time of sadness.
Eagle back with a stick
Jo, you should probably uninstall and reinstall Adobe flash player
Off to the right
Happy Birthday, Mits. Our days are so close together that I almost feel that we are sisters.
Eagle
Looks like my whole neighborhood is out shoveling their driveways. Snow covered trees are recovering.
Hi all! Home from church. A slight rain falling here, 43, and yukky. Heading to the kitchen to make mini crust less quiches to take to Dallas. Already made some marinated cheese, both new recipes.
The cheese is really good. Made it last night and then set it out this morning to get to room temp.
Bothers me to see eagle in the nest cup. I thought I saw an egg. Want them to work on bringing more fluff in. Oh, well.
Back to the kitchen. We will be leaving in 2 hours. Will be back before we leave.
Hi Sandra... always a treat to see you here ☺
and everyone else I have seen since checking back in...
lots of woodworking going at the nest eh? and some chow -
Mits
Thank you for the Dunedin Hatch news !!! I knew you were on top of it....
Shirley when we walked to the store we saw a lot of downed limbs.
If I saw a tree with snow bent down I carefully got as much snow off as possible. Jim and Betty were ahead of me and Betty started talking to a complete stranger thinking it was me next to her.
Mits they should name the osprey in Florida after you. Born on your birthday.
good to see Dana checking in also...
hope Little Man is able to make his routine treks out to take care of his business ☺
incidentally, my white greenhouse pics (of my Blazer) were from 1) before the snow and 2) Friday night after I had already cleaned the car off at least once...plowed lot came much later, some of which I had to do myself
with a shovel
Ceil, that's funny, about Betty...
so she was talking to another beautiful woman was she ??
☺
glad you saw your penguin I mean your peregrine again
eagle scrammed again...I don't have the feed up.
sometimes when that little circle goes around I hit refresh and that sometimes does the trick
Margy loved the picture of the cardinal and the moon. You are up and I think I will take a panda nap
thanks Ceil...I might amble and take a few more pictures soon
Sharon love the story of your birth...way cool !
Yes, Mits, thanks for the Dunedin info...great to hear of a chick!
Didn't clear off car yesterday, headed out to do that....bbl
I just finished a very long loving web cam call from Germany! To hear the littlest one (Izzy) say Me -- Ma made my heart jump! Sammy was showing me her cheer leading skills! Patrick is going to be rooting for the Saints but game time over there is midnight!
Christine is great! Sammy is counting days or should I say months as to when they would come back into the states - she has her heart set on MD or NY.
Was a very good call and connection was perfect.
That's wonderful Jo...a perfect Sunday gift....
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ (that's one heart for Chloe too )
there is a link on BWO for the Dunedin information....takes you to two other links.
Now I know how to pronounce Dunedin -
like this: Dunn EA din with the accent on the second syllable...
now to go see if I can see some action there
Let me know if the update works Mema Jo. I've been having lots of trouble too.
Which team are you fine folks wanting to win the game today? I'm going for the Colts. A friend of mine, who has them as his number one team, would be very happy. I also like their attitude and humility. Peyton is great too.
I said this earlier but we had a split. I may of missed you all talking about it.
Hi Jo. Great you had such a nice visit with the Germany group. Sounds like they are all doing just fine. Wishing for MD when they return -- closer than NY for lots of visits.
Ceil, did you feel as if you were having an out-of-body experience watching someone talk to you while you watched?
Judie! only you...(re: Ceil)
you bring a lot of roflmbo's to us...hope you are doing well...
I am going to head outside and might FALL on my b rather than roll on floor and laugh it off
TTFN pals..xox
Hi T-Bird and Buddy !
To Donka Maria: If memory serves me right, three years ago we had our first hatch just hours before a very large storm. Although Belle and Lib did their very best, we had no eaglets that year. :-( They continued to try incubating the eggs long after they should have hatched, and it was very sad to watch. Hopefully, since it's so much earlier this year, we'll get a second clutch.
Jo, great you could visi9t w/the Germany gang!!!
Hear a real nice songbird chirping at nest. Margy mentioned adult leaving about 1/2 hour ago!?
I agree w/Donka Maria---dwnlded empty nest pic & it sure looks like one egg in bottom left of shadowed area in bowl.
We still think they need a canopy! Maybe a pine tree like NBG is a good nesting tree. Whatever....
Hey Margy, head on over my way with your shovel. Be careful out there. Don't want YOU making a 911 call -- you'd never live it down. Wannabe adult teen still hasn't shown up. Should have let the neighbor shovel -- would have been free.
Hello all chiming back in! Me, too.
Margy, thanks for clarifying about the parking lot! LOL!
Dunedin news is great....happy for that pair.
Judie, your sammiches sound yummy!
And Lolly's food for the big game party does, too.
T-bird, I REALLY don't care who wins the game.....don't really even care to watch, but probably will for the ADS!!
Judy I didn't know she was talking to me until I heard her say I'm sorry I thought my friend was here.
Lynn our paper was published but we did not get one.
Taking a break... tired of trying to get Live Feed up..
BBILW
both in the nest
Back in the nest!!!
Lib brought more food...he is still courting
Now Both & a crunchy meal!
Lib quietly flew off to the right
See eagle chowing down. Great! We are off! Talk with you late.
(((HUGS))) for all!
Don't stand under icicles!! They look lethal when they fall!
Yes our man Lib is still courting. She has eaten 2 or 3 times today.
Bell, I guess, munching away!
Lowreeda - who would have thought eating a fish would be so noisy...scales and fish bones!
Fish consumed...Belle gone!
Poof! Gotta get some stuff done before Din Din....
I think I favor Who Dat as they are the underdogs & that city needs some cheer. I like Manning, too & he is one of the best. Should be good game.
I'm rooting for the underdog...who dat!
eagle back
GO COLTS! LOVE PEYTON MANNING!
Had the live feed up, looks like more fluff for the nest. Also it's good to see Lib keeps bringing the fish. Those bones are full of calcium for egg shells. Thank you all for answering my questions and keeping me up to date. Enjoy your Superbowl Sunday everyone.
Im extremely worried about our eagles and the egg or eggs they have left for long periods of time. what do you think is going to happen? will they just have more eggs? Lori from atlanta...I watched her get covered up yesterday and last night..bless her heart!!
The eggs would not be viable anymore, Iwannafly! They will hopefully reclutch. It is still early in the season so we are praying for that.
Back with another limb!
Yes, Paula! I don't think I make that much noise when I eat fish!! LOL
But then I think their beaks have more surface area than my teeth! Was supposed to go to dentist Mon. for a dreaded extraction, but cancelled--told machine I was snowed in!!!Xray he did showed bad area around roots (molar). Tooth didn't hurt, just gum tender--had Pen VK. "If it don't hurt, don't yank it!!!" I use it a lot!
I am in awe of Lib and Belle in spite of the weather and losing the eggs, they are still continuing with the nestorations and bringing in more fluff. People could learn a thing a two from our eagles.
That one's gonna be tough---forked & long!
back with a huge stick
Somebody needs to go spread out a bale of hay near the nest. They could use it for new fluff!
Belle finishing up that fish, Lib flew in and is working on placing that forked stick
That's good furniture moving!
There is a lot of melting going on out there, hopefully the snow will be gone from the enst soon
Wonder what all this stick placement will look like when the snow is gone, lol, I'm sure they be rearranging again!
They have definitely put a real dent on the snow in that nest today.
Both poofed~~~~
suppose we can talk Steve into bringing a bale of hay to work with him tomorrow or whenever :-)
Glo, is Steve allowed to do that? While he's at it could he build a canopy above the nest? I heard we are supposed to get "Round 3" of snow Tuesday or Wednesday at NBG.
Hey, (not hay) I think it is a good idea! Wonder if it would work?
well my guess is if anyone at NCTC placed a bale of hay anywhere within site of the sycamore they would very likely have some eagles headed there for dry and actually warm bedding for their nest. Will he or anyone...hmmmm I would be surprised but it could happen. Certainly don't have to approach the tree to put hay inthe site of an eagle.
Don't think the eagles would like dropping down into the nest through a canopy! :)
Lib back w/ another stick
Back with another stick.
EagleEyeSharon, you are right about dropping in through a canopy. LOL. I just wish there were more cover over head so if/when more snow comes the nest had a little protection, but I guess when you have a blizzard, nothing is safe from the elements.
They are both working so hard on that nest!
Belle there now, too
Will and I have decided to go out for dinner. If it looks too bad out there, we will turn around and come back. The streets in the neighborhood have been plowed, but not very well.
Interesting collection of sticks in the nest. They are really trying to start their new family.
Hi everyone. Just checking in after the horrific snowstorm. Read the posts about our loss, but see our pair is rebuilding - at least that's what it looks like to me - I can't see an egg.
Watching all the super bowl pre-game entertainment, etc. Will be checking back periodically. Hope everyone is safe and warm.
... later
Who dat shoveling too much snow? who dat?
Hi Shirley, hope you and Will are able to get out to dinner. Just be careful, please.
Diann, hope you and everyone who watches, enjoy the game and commericials.
Lots of new nestoration items. Saw both earlier working on rearrangements. NBG has three eggs.
geez, thought the geese were going to land in the nest.
I always rout for the underdog at super bowl time....especially this year, that city has waited along time with this team.
Looks like Belle back in her spot. I surely hope no eggs tonight. I think tomorrow that 30 plus temp could really help them with that nestbowl.
I've been off of here most of the afternoon.. Our circle is cleared of snow and hopefully with the sun tomorrow as it was today there will be more melting.
As for our nest - Night light is on and there is our vigilant eagle where the egg cup is under the snow.
From all the comments they have had a very busy day.
Nice to see the whole nest tonight...and no eagle...that's good
Gonna go watch the kickoff
We are back! Decided to grab some carry out and bring it home. The roads are not good out there.
My school is closed tomorrow. No surprise there.
Did not care for that rendition by the Queen
Hey how come no eagle flyover?
Very nice star spangled banner by Carrie Underwood....
OK so they had a jet flyover instead of an eagle.
always some fly over at SB, not always the eagle.
Paula... that is some icicle...your avatar.....as Hedgie says, DO NOT stand under it
☺
Wanda and Gene are in visiting with GG...their good neighbor Stanley finished getting their driveway clear...and the son of one of GG's neighbors was snow-plowing and snowblowing butt! GG's driveway is clear...
Roads, are a challenge....
xo
Who is performing at half time?
Was eating dinner - Now I see the nest MT
The only call I have gotten from work was one of the supervisors telling my our coffee pot in there is broken, so plan for it!
I am so blessed, not to have gotten called in this week-end...Thank you all and God, for helping to make that be like it is...
xoxo ♥
The WHO is performing at half time
Donka Marie
I like your thoughts about calcium from the fish bones, making for great egg shells to be ☺
I went to the store, plenty of shoppers, and yes, I did pick up some Oatmeal Creme pies...sorry Jo, no reduced sugar ones :(
OK! I'll watch at halftime, Megan, thanks, listened to about half dozen Eminence Fronts on Youtubes last night, wonder if they will play that !
so sorry I wasn't here to hear Carrie Underwood...guess I can YouTube that also...
right now I have to put a meal on the table for the housebird...the Magpie !
Who is performing at halftime, but I don't know what...;) tee-hee
WHO dat!
Who?
Who dat?
The Bridgestone commercial was funny
I liked the musical woodchuck too
Carry out carried in is good, Shirley.
Maybe Who will be arriving by TRAIN?
Like Queen Latifa but not her interpretation. Carrie Underwood was good.
So nice GG's drive is cleared. Kid who agreed to clear our walk/drive said he would be here tomorrow -- upped his supply/demand price from $40 to $100. Looking for a different kid. We DO NOT have a huge area. Opportunistic kid! Hope he ends up at GW and in one of my classes -- tee hee!
Jo, nice that your circle is clear of snow. Can't wait to see you on the news sledding by the SHEETZ.
Back to the game. Who Dat in trouble!
Did somebody say Train? :)
Someone asked about the eagle flyover. Not in an open stadium.
Pretty close game
good fieldgoaler for the Saints
Thanks, Nana, never thought about an open stadium and eagle
Great half-time show!!! Love The Who!! Brings back lots of memories, for sure.
I liked the groundhog commercial too
good halftime show...The Who sounds like they always did
no one's clothes fell off
Shirley
What kind of take out take in did you get ?
We got Thia takeout, Margy. It was very good, mostly. I have had better cheesecake. (I really don't think cheesecake is Thai food.)
I had asparagus shrimp and Will had a chicken dish.
Well Pete Townsend's belly was showing...wardrobe malfunction
Judie, I tried to get your attention last night. I think your Darth was at my house secretly shoveling my driveway and posing as Will in a paintball mask. Check my blog.
yes, middle-age paunch, what's a guy to do.
the who sounded good, listened to them from in the kitchen...
A punch buggy commercial...cool.
And liked the Denny's too, those chicken eyes bugging out
Good Evening Ladies,
I know ya'll are watching the game (I just hope the Saints win for NOLa... otherwise couldn't care less about football.
There's not been an eagle on the nest for the last 5 min. Hope they're okay and egg is warm enough.
thai food sounds good, I had some snacks and am having hot fudge brownie sundae for dessert!
Well I did notice that belly shot..
yeah, maybe he lost a button...
Shirley, asparagus shrimp, I could handle that !
I'm having Turkey Hill Coffee Ice Cream for dessert, plenty for everyone here...
Lori !
I've been checking the still cam and didn't know there had been an eagle in the nest...
guess I didn't check enough
Just heard a plane!! Not too far from Dulles flightpath, so maybe they have re-opened!
look at Blackwater...little something strange to the left of the eagle
Lynn...any update on Shuttle launch?
Shirley I'm not Judie but I checked out Darth...
funny !
Quiet at our nest, just some wind
Somehow, I do not think you can compare the exposed belly to the previous wardrobe malfunction.
Lori, they haven't been on the nest since 6pm...hopefully they'll stay off
Will said it kept his face warm. It was very cold outside when he first went out to work on the driveway.
I think Judie is busy reading about various crimes.
Lori, we believe, and now Lib and Belle believe the egg is not viable, it fell into a small hole they dug in the egg cup, and they couldn't get it out. I am talking about the second egg she laid yesterday afternoon. The first one became buried in the snow. We haven't seen the second one since late yesterday afternoon.
Oh, Shirley. Sorry I missed the blog about Darth shoveling snow disguised as Will. The sad truth is that I cannot control Darth. He frequently disappears, disguises himself, and tries to "entice" the ladies with his "do good" act. However, checked at halftime and he is downstairs happily watching the Super Bowl through closed eyelids.
Glad you enjoyed your dinner.
Good to know that he is resting from all of his exertions, Judie. My driveway is beautious.
