Multi-tasking again. Trying to put make-up on and get the Live Feed sound. I have sound on other sites, so I know it's not my computer. Going to read my manual when I get back home.
Thanks - you guys and gals are all so special! I hardly ever get here any more, yet I'm receiving cards and birthday wishes. So happy you haven't forgotten me. Thanks for all the cards! I'm having a great day. Will check back in later if I get a chance.
Happy Birthday to Loretta and Sunny Thanks for the new thread Steve. Speaking of sun its trying to come out here and in the mid 50"s. Dex and I will be off for a stroll very soon. :-)
Just had an idea. I really haven't been keeping up with things since the big snow, so don't yell at me if I'm being stupid. Are we still hoping for a hatch, and if so, when? I'll be in Shepherdstown this weekend, and may have to take a little side trip on Sunday.
Good Morning Everyone! Thank you so much for the B'Day greetings and cards. What a heartwarming group! I should be shuffling off to work, but konked out last night & didn't get yesterday's pics posted til now. I put on the osprey(s) I saw!!!! Had some blurry eagle nest pics, but can tell you about it. In the AM for the first time in ages, could see a tiny sliver of white head at top of nest. So, she is in there incubating.We won't know about a hatch for some time.In the evening could only see a nest-duh. Went back to car to leave & thru window saw a large dark blob way back in trees behind nest. Jumped out w/camera, slammed door & didn't know 'til later that keys were in ignition!!!Double Duh!Started walking back to office. Had Park keys in pocket, but my cell phone was in heavy coat in car!Greg K. was leaving & let me use his phone.Couple guys tried a coat hanger thru partially open window until Fubby came. When we left, Mr. Eagle was still in that spot! Must spend the night there. I can put that pic on blog! Oh well!
Good Morning - no sunshine here but temps aren't bad. Sunny - hoping for a hatch of our 1 egg around March 20 or thereafter. Happy to see you here today - come back often and hope you do go by the nest this Sunday
hedgie said... Good late morning. Slept in and slow getting started! Retirement is good! Watched the History Channel show with Margy's bro in it--very thought-provoking! Interesting update notes. Thanks, Mits. I heard a huge number of honkers late last night, heading north. Margy suggested that it might be Tundra Swans. Listened to their sounds on Cornell sight, and think she is probably right!
Happy Birthday, Sunny!!! Another Pisces!!! Fubby might take me to dinner at a new Japanese Restaurant nearby. But since I'll get home late, might go tomorrow on my day off. Did put a couple PRP nest pics on to substantiate my story! Gotta hit the trail.....
Thanks again for all the great wishes!!!Luv you guys! ☺
BTW, saw at stores over weekend that the closed Chinese Restaurant DOES have a sign of "Ledo's Pizza opening in March"!!!!!If they have same staff, I'll be Lowreeda again! I'm leaving, I'm leaving (but can get online at this office!!!)
I am just sick. Last night 20% chance of rain, mostly east of Dallas. Well, here we are far west of Dallas and we have RAIN! Curses! Bad, foul curses!!!!
Lolly, ask Lowreeda (maybe soon to be again!!) to send the submarine your way!!! SOrry. It is due here late today/tonight and then for several days. Beats snow!! Glo, glad your plumbing concerns are fixed.
Calling Megan!! Are you alive and well??? Are you buried in seed catalogs?
If you saw those swans, Lynn...they probably flew over here first...I have been watching and listening... this is their time to return North... my friend in New York (near Erie PA) has observed them returning to the lake near him.
I saw a wonderful flock flying South a few years ago in December....on a full moon night... hope to see or hear them again soon...
JO By the way, prayers of course for a Turkey Day 2010 Homecoming with the Germany Gang....and prayers of support for Sgt. Patrick for re-enlisting for another three years.
Lolly - remembering a card you once sent me that said - Remember that after the rain there is a rainbow... and if I have to I'll come over and paint the darn thing on your ceiling!
Thank you so much, Margy! I wish you would go over to the Facebook where Christine posted the short video of the ceremony. I don't know how to bring it over to an email but I can send you some pics.
just got this from the Asian Trail volunteer who was in China for Tai's coming out party....
this is short because my email wasn't working, but I'm on my way back to the States. I was the only American in attendance at Tai's introduction, and am thrilled to report that he was quite the star -- completely unfazed by all the chaos of the ceremony. At 4 pm, when I left, he was chomping away on his bamboo like he'd been in Villa 5 all his life. Fu Long is his next door neighbor. Will report more on my return...wanted you to have for volunteer mtg. So proud of him and the keepers who prepared him so well!
Jo....thanks! That put a smile on my face! I am not sure rain is better than snow. Snow covers up black, rotting, stinking grass, bog, etc! Only kidding, of course, snow melts, then you have the black, rotting, stinking mess that was once lawn grass.
Lynn...I HEARD THEM TOO!!! When I was out with Daisy last night around 8pm!! I wasn't sure what they were but I knew they were NOT the geese that fly over each evening. What a racket they made, but I couldn't see anything. Just checked to make sure of the sound, and sure enough, Tundra swans! Maybe more will fly through today.
Mits, that is great news about Tai!
I guess Megan is planting, planting and more planting these days!
Have walked and now to clean house while Jack is gone. Do not get this opportunity too often.☺ Not that he gets in the way, I just like to turn up music an get with it! Going to clean for a while and then head outside. The sun occasionlly peeks out. Or should I say "poops" out. Sorry, Lynne!
Yes break in the action at Norfolk for a little bit. I bet theres a hatch before today is over. Little one resting too is my guess. Lots of work to get out of that shell.
OK maybe not a crack. Eagle moved egg and crack did not move. Now I think it was straw I saw reflecting ont he egg. But eagle is up and busy hmmm. Camera zoomer very busy too.
LOL Thats all folks its your turn. Oh Tom and Ana are driving home now. About 3 1/2 hours out and weather is pretty crummy off and on. He said lots of water ont he roadways. Had stormed good earlier. Kind of rain and drizzle at the moment.
Manana will be my uncle and aunt's 50th anniversary.
He is about the same age as I am, my mother's youngest brother.
They decided to get married on her parents' anniversary (March 11th!!), which is not the most Springtime, blossomy time of the year in Minnesota!
My mother and I had never driven in snow, but my aunt had, so we all three took off for the old hometown in my family's Ford in the dead of winter. Battling snow, ice, whiteout and winds way too cold for California clothes (all of them on at once), we managed to get there, have a great wedding and visit around the old areas... Never got above -10° the whole week, but we loved the trip anyway.
Good Afternoon Everyone! Here at office saw the funniest sights at the pond. It has finally thawed and it's bathtime for the geese! About 50 were around---half in & half out. Those in the water took baths & rolled upside down!! Could see white bellies w/two feet up in the air! Wish I could have done a video, but lots of shrubs in the way. Back to work.....
Jim, that's quite an adventure you had!! Lots of memories, I'm sure. Happy Anniversary to your aunt and uncle!! My dad had an uncle who was two years younger than he was! His middle sister's boy. They were best pals growing up.
Paula will probably remember this (because I was emailing to her about it at the time )
Two years ago in May before I became a Momster, all eyes were on the Norfolk nest near the hatch date of the lone egg of the 3rd clutch...
I had thought for sure some of those little feathers was a little tee tiny head peeking out of the nest....I was incorrect, but it was not long after that... and that was Buddy ☺
The female is on the nest at this time. No hatching confirmed. Squirrel was brought to nest by male around 5:10pm and is located on the other side of her.
I bet there has been a hatch or one soon what with food brought to the nest. I do prefer stacks of fish to one dead squirrel. Remember last year at our nest? Do believe we had a bunny rabbit!
Have been out working in the yard. It was fun, in that I was also watching the red shouldered hawks. One landed in a tree in our yard. He had food in his talons. Then he flew to the nest, one left and flew to a power pole. Heard them all afternoon even when I could not see them. No eagles here...love my red shouldered hawks.
Wow, they are really monitoring that nest. Saw when they turned up the light. Also, saw a spot light go by. She was up, but did not allow any view of the eggs.
Where did everyone go? I'm still not getting sound at our nest:( I can't find any reason why. If I have sound other places, I should have it there???? Sign me, FRUSTRATED:(
Good evening - Just took Alexis home after ice cream. Guess I'll be watching Criminal Minds and the CSI:NY this evening.
Wanda - I have Live Feed on and the volume control there is as high as it goes.... My speakers are on but only if I turn them up to the fullest extent do I hear a hum. It is a very quiet evening... I'll be trying to hear a dog bark or a train whistle but I really think it is quiet and nothing is wrong with the site or my speakers. I'll holler if I hear anything. ---You're serious that GG drove herself to Church - right? Mom gave up her license after backing out of a parking spot and ramming into another car. No injuries except to the car - she just was from then on afraid she could hurt someone. Hope I can be that smart when the time comes...
Paula, timer is not on, but I can see the eagle moving. Meanwhile, the 'circle-arrow' goes round and round. Glo said the same thing was happening to her earlier, but I think she finally got it up and running.
Yes, Jo, she drove to church! Just a few days before, she wrote a note to me telling me that she didn't think she should go anywhere by herself anymore. I thought that meant DRIVING...I was elated that she finally gave up, on her own. My bubble burst, big time, when I saw her sitting in church!:( Dustin went home with her and said her driving was pretty good. I know the Lord must be with her:)
Yes I do have all that Adobe has to offer...maybe I have too much? This Windows 7 has so much to offer, but it is taking me a long time to figure it all out. Thanks for trying to help me!
Yep, hit the PLAY button so many times it's almost worn out:) Had no problem on old 'puter. Think I will stop in at Best Buy and ask the Geeks if they have any idea what I can do.
Wanda I did finally get it to play with sound today but it has been 3 days of frustration trying to get it to come on. I just might leave it on forever now. I hit play over and over heard the singing animals refreshed the page several times watched the circle and then refreshed and walked away. Hit play while it was still a black screen and when I came into the room it was on with sound. so I think it is perseverance and patience and not your computer. Also I think it involves sheer luck. JMHO
Well if she walks away and leaves it alone once she gets to the circle it might eventually come on. Thats what eventually happened for me today. But I had refreshed it a few times too trying to get rid of the circle. Gave up and left. Then got a surprise later when I came into the room the circle was gone and i head the hummm and there was my live feed. Has run ever since today.
Glo, I do have the picture and movement, just not sound. Timer isn't on and circle is still there on top of eagle sitting in nest. I will do as you suggested and fiddle with it until it WORKS! Probably will stop at Best Buy Friday. I don't think it is the 'puter, but they may know what I may be doing wrong. They have been super nice. Talked Gene through hooking up the printer for 45 min at no charge:)
well good luck Wanda Took me 3 days and some luck. Sounds a whole lot like what I got everytime I tried to get the live feed. My eagles moved too but clock stayed at 00.00 and circle int he middle. Decided fine I will just let it circle and get on with my day. So I am not sure how long it circled before it actually decided to start, but i had fiddled with it several times before I walked away and just let it circle.
I can't get our live cam to even load tonight, let alone play! I am tired of trying, and tired of looking at others that stall, flicker, or sway!!! I think my eyes are just not used to seeing things as big as they are on the 17" monitor since I've been using the netbook. My eyes are just tired! Wonder if Mits has any good zoo stories or news from today? Goodnight fine,fowl friends. Prayers for all needs and desires. Peace!
I'm ready to head back the hall BUT I just had to turn my Live Feed back on. I didn't get the commercial this time..I clicked on the play symbol..the live feed cam came up with our eagle..'ringo' kept going round and round and timer didn't start.. clicked on the pause symbol two times.. waited and BINGO the timer did start.
Well, this was a good day. We took GG to get her spinach seeds and bean seeds. Took her before lunch and she was fresh and ready to go...she said she is happy with the thought of Spring being near and starting her garden:)
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS SWEET DREAMS PRAYERS FOR ALL
Finished another tray of slides, edited them and then emailed them out to family. Takes all evening to do one tray. Need to start burning them onto a cd.
Watched TV and NBG while working on slides. I think there may be a hatching. She spent a long time up and looking into the nest. JMHO
Wanda, sorry you are having problems. I just went to our cam, after ad, black screen came up, clicked the play button, circle went around and went away and the timer started. Though many times I have had to click the play button several times and then wait.
Good morning eagle momsters and dadsters. Is there anyone up? The Bedford crew is getting ready to go to Norfolk to see Train. They told me we would leave at 4 AM and I'm the only one up. : ) I reckon we'll leave when we leave.
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!---T-BIRD---Be sure that BLUEFIELD SHARON doesn't leave with the TRAIN!--ho!---You folks will have a ball!!----Have FUN! FUN! FUN!
Yep, bet those gals are TRAIN-BOUND..hope Sissy remembered to pack MY UMBRELLA ! Which she took home after Open House last year...it has been in good hands but I sure hope the Southern Delegation won't have to use i !
Reading about Wanda's sound woes...funny thing when I have live feed up, I have both sound and movement for about 3 minutes, then I have sound only and the movement is like the still cam...
Our little town has been busy this month!---I saw the TRAIN MAN--(the person that drives the train up the river where there are EAGLES)--NOT RELATED TO SHARON'S TRAIN!! ho! He swears that several EAGLES have been spotted this month! --
I just had my live feed up for about 7 or 8 minutes... heard the robins and some other birds, and honestly think I might have heard some Tundra Swans fly over...it was rather faint... well, it's turned off now, and I am really going to bed now.
Good Morning in Eagleland T-Bird-Sharon have a great Train Ride lol, good morning dear Norma, Megan sowing her seeds, maybe I'll sow some, Mary nice to see you afer that long shift (by the way I just heard about the drug gang at Court House Square where they had the juke box outside)--dumb people glad they got them.
I hope I get to go on the train ride this year Norma. Since your a pro you'll have to guide me. tee hee
Margy driving home yesterday before dark seen severl flocks of geese flying north. Sounded beautiful !!
Gee Gee is still driving????
Lynn-Hedgie did they get your computer fixed?
Happy Belated Birthday to Loretta and Sunny
Don't ask me why-I guess just my time finally. I get to hear our nest and see our eagle...been days.
Lolly our yard is so soaked from all the snow-it we might as well had rain for a straight week and heavy. Don't know what is going to happen when this rain does come.
This working in yard; bending over it taking a toll on both of my eyes Later the tears just roll out of both just as if I'm crying - my surgery has been not a good result. It's not the light got sun glasses on.
MORNIN' DANA & 'LITTLE MAN'---COOL!---We will plan a train ride this summer!!---It's fun!---My lawn is soaked too!--Still have the big 'S'----now we should be getting rain--rain & more rain!--Our rivers will be over flowing!!--REMEMBER!---LIFE IS GOOD!!----
Good Morning! Happy 50th Birthday to my wonder husband Steve!! He's off today and sleeping in!
Dana, so sorry about your eyes. What a disappointment it must be :(
wow, for the fist time in days I have our cam up with NO PROBLEMS!!! No action at the moment. Eagle is sitting enjoying the sunshine!
I must say, the new moderated chat at NBG is NOT warm and fuzzy. They don't always have a moderator and they keep telling people to read the links first and previous posts so they don't keep getting the same questions asked. I don't know...I liked the open chat better, more friendly. JMHO. I think the regulars were pretty nice at keeping everyone updated, answering questions, and keeping everyone in line for the most part. But I guess the moderated one is useful as well.
no fluff ball yet. thought for sure there would be a hatch yesterday. Maybe today is the big day....and 50 whole years after Steve was born, a baby eaglet is born while the whole world watches!
I need to go out and sow some seeds. If they come up good, if not well so be.
Yes if they hadn't told be I'd go blind. I never would have had the surgery. Surgeries for some reason just don't agree with my body. Although knee replacement was great but I have fallen several times on it. So at some point need to go see my Ortho. I just keep putting it off.
Flood Watch in effect from Friday morning through Saturday evening... Today Partly sunny this morning...then becoming mostly cloudy. Highs in the lower 60s. East winds 5 to 10 mph.
Tonight Rain...mainly after midnight. Lows in the upper 40s. East winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent. Friday Periods of rain. Highs in the mid 50s. East winds around 10 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent.
Friday Night Rain. Rain may be heavy at times after midnight. Lows in the upper 40s. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent. amen:(
wow, 35 minutes without having to restart the camera! Seems to be a few seconds pause though and it starts up again. UUUGGGHHHH. spoke to soon, stopped now. Have to refresh. Nope, now I have uninterrupted sound but picture is not streaming...refreshes every 5 or 10 seconds. Much like was described in reading back on yesterday posts. hmmmmmmm wonder why?
I say Amen to that forecast today. I'll have to get out there now and get the leaves up from the neighbors side of fence. Pop can laying just feet from her car door. She gets in car and never picks up the pepsi can. grrrrrr
I have health problems too but I am doing all I can do. Would wish she would too. Although I like her I just wish she wouldn't put her act on so much. It is starting to affect her son and his wife. Her son is always coming to do for her. Leaving wife to do needed things at their house. She loved her daugther in law but she is putting a unhappy space between the couple.
Hello all:) Looks like we get some sun today after all. Dana, it's way too early to sow seeds outside. The ground is not warm enough. Unless it's lettuce or peas or a few other veggies. And the coming rain will just wash them away. Have a great day everybody!

Dad on nest at NBG now
good to see you, Sunny:)
p.s. I LOVE the nicknames you've given for BW eaglets! I saw that last night and got quite a chuckle.
Wanda - I believe the shadow I commented on was one of our eagles flying off the sycamore
Wing stretches and some stick picking
p.s. again
Happy Birthday Loretta!!!!!! Have a great day!!

Happy Birthday to Loretta and Sunny Thanks for the new thread Steve. Speaking of sun its trying to come out here and in the mid 50"s. Dex and I will be off for a stroll very soon. :-)

Twice today, I have had gaggles of geese honking and flying overhead!
My cam is Live with a circle in the middle but I do see the eagle moving LOL. No Sound.
I love the sound of geese:)
Good Morning Everyone! Thank you so much for the B'Day greetings and cards. What a heartwarming group!
I should be shuffling off to work, but konked out last night & didn't get yesterday's pics posted til now. I put on the osprey(s) I saw!!!!

Good morning!
Have NBG up, still no hatching.
Happy Birthday to our special lovely Larada! Loweeda! Loretta!May your day be extra special! Also, Happy Birthday to Sunny!
Geese are in action. Heard them flying over our house as well. Spring is a coming! And NEVER more welcome!
Egg roll at NBG, still no sign of hatching!
love the osprey pictures, Loretta
Good Morning - no sunshine here but temps aren't bad.
Sunny - hoping for a hatch of our 1 egg around March 20 or thereafter.
Happy to see you here today - come back often and hope you do go by the nest this Sunday

Have a great year ahead
Sunny have a Happy Birthday!
Enjoy your special day
Happy Birthday, Sunny!!! Another Pisces!!!
Fubby might take me to dinner at a new Japanese Restaurant nearby. But since I'll get home late, might go tomorrow on my day off.
Did put a couple PRP nest pics on to substantiate my story!
Gotta hit the trail.....
Thanks again for all the great wishes!!!Luv you guys! ☺
Loretta those are great pictures.
Sorry Frank had to come and rescue you.
Glad you had turned off your motor!
Sharon - It is already Wednesday!
WHoo Hoo Choo Choo is a coming!
BTW, saw at stores over weekend that the closed Chinese Restaurant DOES have a sign of "Ledo's Pizza opening in March"!!!!!If they have same staff, I'll be Lowreeda again!
I'm leaving, I'm leaving (but can get online at this office!!!)
I am just sick. Last night 20% chance of rain, mostly east of Dallas. Well, here we are far west of Dallas and we have RAIN! Curses! Bad, foul curses!!!!
Happy Birthday Again to Loretta and Sunny...
best wishes for a Magical Birthday to you both
xo ☺ ♥
Repeating Birthday Greetings on new thread for Loretta and Sunny.
Loretta, so sorry you had all that drama yesterday. Hope today is better!
Sunny, hope you make it to the nest Sunday!
Just had a fluff delivery a few minutes ago at our nest, saw both, not sure if they did a switch or not
Good Morning Eagle ♀'s and ♂'s
Lolly, ask Lowreeda (maybe soon to be again!!) to send the submarine your way!!! SOrry. It is due here late today/tonight and then for several days. Beats snow!!
Glo, glad your plumbing concerns are fixed.
Calling Megan!! Are you alive and well??? Are you buried in seed catalogs?
If you saw those swans, Lynn...they probably flew over here first...I have been watching and listening... this is their time to return North...
my friend in New York (near Erie PA) has observed them returning to the lake near him.
I saw a wonderful flock flying South a few years ago in December....on a full moon night...
hope to see or hear them again soon...
Megan posted on the prior thread, Hedgie...
I have been missing her also ☺
egg check our nest
awesome...
Lewis and Clark look a little bedgraggled this morning...
great new pictures from PRP from Loretta
Hope you can get to Shepherdstown Sunny
short stay here, have to start getting back to bed for 12 hour shift tonight
Best wishes for a good day, hoping that all with ailments find relief today
xo ☺ ♥
JO
By the way, prayers of course for a Turkey Day 2010 Homecoming with the Germany Gang....and prayers of support for Sgt. Patrick for re-enlisting for another three years.

Lolly - remembering a card you once sent me that said -
Remember that after the rain there is a rainbow...
and if I have to I'll come over and paint the darn thing on your ceiling!
Thank you so much, Margy!
I wish you would go over to the Facebook where Christine posted the short video of the ceremony.
I don't know how to bring it over to an email but I can send you some pics.
just got this from the Asian Trail volunteer who was in China for Tai's coming out party....

can't wait to see her pictures when she returns.
I always enjoy pictures, Jo...when you have time....someday, I will probably achieve FaceBook ☺
TTFN xox ♥
Just had a crossword clue of Choo Choo! ROFL---they must have been hearing Sharon!!!! Sure hope tomorrows event is everything she wants it to be!!!
Nice report from the volunteer, Mits. Thanks for sharing. Bet her pics will be great!
Oh, good that Megan was hear....guess I was scanning too fast!!
There is something truly magical about seeing swans or geese silhouetted across the moon! Sadly there was no moonlight here last night!
Taking a break
Want to see if any tax refund has yet hit my account. Not that I am going anywhere to spend it! lol
Jo....thanks! That put a smile on my face! I am not sure rain is better than snow. Snow covers up black, rotting, stinking grass, bog, etc! Only kidding, of course, snow melts, then you have the black, rotting, stinking mess that was once lawn grass.
Hello all!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORETTA!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUNNY!!
Lynn...I HEARD THEM TOO!!! When I was out with Daisy last night around 8pm!! I wasn't sure what they were but I knew they were NOT the geese that fly over each evening. What a racket they made, but I couldn't see anything. Just checked to make sure of the sound, and sure enough, Tundra swans! Maybe more will fly through today.
Mits, that is great news about Tai!
I guess Megan is planting, planting and more planting these days!
Jack has departed to have lunch with a friend.
Have walked and now to clean house while Jack is gone. Do not get this opportunity too often.☺ Not that he gets in the way, I just like to turn up music an get with it! Going to clean for a while and then head outside. The sun occasionlly peeks out. Or should I say "poops" out. Sorry, Lynne!
Hello all- another nice day here, the sun feels good.
Happy Birthday to Sunny and Loretta!
Back to work- sowing seeds.
Think I just saew a huge crack in one of the norfolk eggs and my live feed cam is humming away.
Happy birthday Loretta and Sunny.
Wishing you both, and all others, a lovely day.
A very busy eagle at Norfolk. Hope some of you are watching. Nest care in the sycamore too :-)
I've been watching Glo!
NBG eagle seems settled down now---windy there. She's pulling fluff in closer to her chest.
BWE eaglets were sparring a bit with each other! Cuties.
Yes break in the action at Norfolk for a little bit. I bet theres a hatch before today is over. Little one resting too is my guess. Lots of work to get out of that shell.
Excellent view of cracking egg at norfolk right now
OK maybe not a crack. Eagle moved egg and crack did not move. Now I think it was straw I saw reflecting ont he egg. But eagle is up and busy hmmm. Camera zoomer very busy too.
LOL Thats all folks its your turn. Oh Tom and Ana are driving home now. About 3 1/2 hours out and weather is pretty crummy off and on. He said lots of water ont he roadways. Had stormed good earlier. Kind of rain and drizzle at the moment.

GOOD MORNING,

Manana will be my uncle and aunt's 50th anniversary.
He is about the same age as I am, my mother's youngest brother.
They decided to get married on her parents' anniversary (March 11th!!), which is not the most Springtime, blossomy time of the year in Minnesota!
My mother and I had never driven in snow, but my aunt had, so we all three took off for the old hometown in my family's Ford in the dead of winter. Battling snow, ice, whiteout and winds way too cold for California clothes (all of them on at once), we managed to get there, have a great wedding and visit around the old areas... Never got above -10° the whole week, but we loved the trip anyway.

that's a quite a story Jim! What a great memory for you to have!
Prayers for a safe trip for Ana and Tom.
Glo, I thought I saw a crack too but turns out it was a little hair on my screen!
If you hurry, you might see Su Lin playing in one of her pools with a toy they gave her... At San Diego.

Getting pretty disgusted with the black screen. Will it ever end?
Good Afternoon Everyone!
Here at office saw the funniest sights at the pond. It has finally thawed and it's bathtime for the geese! About 50 were around---half in & half out. Those in the water took baths & rolled upside down!! Could see white bellies w/two feet up in the air! Wish I could have done a video, but lots of shrubs in the way.
Back to work.....
Well eagle at NBG remains very restless and interested in the eggs :-)
I still totally beleive one is hatching. Zoomer seems to think so too :-) Looks like cracking egg again to me.
Naturenut I love those bottoms up pictures. They always make me chuckle too.
Calling right at the cam :)
Up and calling and outta there..can't hardly see the egg for all the fluff
It's been a long time since I have seen this
a completely empty nest NCTC
whew Paula...thanks...just got back up was not sure how long it had been empty
..and back, back to business
Looks like Belle is back
Jim
That is a "Cool Story" about the nuptials 50 years ago...
Happy 50th Anniversary wishes to your Aunt and Uncle, one day early..xo ♥♥
Jim, that's quite an adventure you had!! Lots of memories, I'm sure. Happy Anniversary to your aunt and uncle!! My dad had an uncle who was two years younger than he was! His middle sister's boy. They were best pals growing up.
Paula will probably remember this (because I was emailing to her about it at the time )
Two years ago in May before I became a Momster, all eyes were on the Norfolk nest near the hatch date of the lone egg of the 3rd clutch...
I had thought for sure some of those little feathers was a little tee tiny head peeking out of the nest....I was incorrect, but it was not long after that...
and that was Buddy ☺
LOL, Margy, seems like everything and anything in the nest is a baby eagle when hatching time rolls around...even here :)
the Day Bandit has struck, time for work soon
Best wishes for a good afternoon and evening,
hope that all illness are disappearing quickly
see you in the morning sometime
xo ☺ ♥
Think they are checking out some sort of prey at NBG...looks like Mr squirrel bit the dust...
Have a good shift, Margy! Hope it's quiet.
Gotta tell ya'---I don't like the CRC cam refreshing every 5 seconds....makes me dizzy!
Getting dark quick at NBG, they don't have a nite lite that I can see.
Glowing eye and now an egg roll at our nest
NBG sure keeps looking down
Or maybe they do, but not real bright there.
NBG sure is peering into that bowl
Not really squished down onto eggs...
From NBG chat
The female is on the nest at this time. No hatching confirmed. Squirrel was brought to nest by male around 5:10pm and is located on the other side of her.
They do have an IR light...guess it's dimmer than ours because the cam is further away
I bet there has been a hatch or one soon what with food brought to the nest. I do prefer stacks of fish to one dead squirrel. Remember last year at our nest? Do believe we had a bunny rabbit!
Have been out working in the yard. It was fun, in that I was also watching the red shouldered hawks. One landed in a tree in our yard. He had food in his talons. Then he flew to the nest, one left and flew to a power pole. Heard them all afternoon even when I could not see them. No eagles here...love my red shouldered hawks.
NBG has extra nite lite on, zoomed in and looking for movement
can't see anything at NBG, not even the eggs, LOL
Wow, they are really monitoring that nest. Saw when they turned up the light. Also, saw a spot light go by. She was up, but did not allow any view of the eggs.
Hawks are cool, Lolly.
Very close to hatching at NBG I would say, Parent up down up down, peering into bowl, moving around even more carefully
Belle up and doing wing stretches...so pretty
Where did everyone go?
I'm still not getting sound at our nest:( I can't find any reason why. If I have sound other places, I should have it there????
Sign me, FRUSTRATED:(
Going to say good night. I have been pretty busy recently. I have piles of papers to get through, but they will have to wait.
See you tomorrow.
Night, Shirley!! Rest well.
Can't see hardly anything at NBG now. Did they turn the light off when they turned off the blog???
Can see her head. If she gets up off the eggs we should be able to see them.
Good evening - Just took Alexis home after ice cream.
Guess I'll be watching Criminal Minds and the CSI:NY this evening.
Wanda - I have Live Feed on and the volume control there is as high as it goes.... My speakers are on but only if I turn them up to the fullest extent do I hear a hum. It is a very quiet evening... I'll be trying to hear a dog bark or a train whistle but I really think it is quiet and nothing is wrong with the site or my speakers. I'll holler if I hear anything.
---You're serious that GG drove herself to Church - right? Mom gave up her license after backing out of a parking spot and ramming into another car. No injuries except to the car - she just was from then on afraid she could hurt someone. Hope I can be that smart when the time comes...
Wanda I am hearing some wind at the nest now.
Happy to know that Tom and Ana are homeward bound. GA is having its bout with the rain that we should see tomorrow.
Sharon - is Sissy in Bedford yet?
Remember take your umbrella!
Think I am going to work on slides. I'll be back late to say good night. However, nite to all those that hit the sack before I get back.
Wanda - is your timer on at the nest or not? If it's not, then you aren't watching...hit the play button.
I can hear a slight breeze at the nest tonight. Have heard the dogs barking earlier.
Headed out to the TV and will check in at commercial times.......
BBILW
Paula, timer is not on, but I can see the eagle moving. Meanwhile, the 'circle-arrow' goes round and round. Glo said the same thing was happening to her earlier, but I think she finally got it up and running.
Wanda - did you hit the play button?
If you see that circle arrow, you won't have sound.
do you have the latest version of Adobe flash player?
Yes, Jo, she drove to church! Just a few days before, she wrote a note to me telling me that she didn't think she should go anywhere by herself anymore. I thought that meant DRIVING...I was elated that she finally gave up, on her own. My bubble burst, big time, when I saw her sitting in church!:( Dustin went home with her and said her driving was pretty good. I know the Lord must be with her:)
right click on the live picture and tell me if it tells you what version you have
Yes I do have all that Adobe has to offer...maybe I have too much?
This Windows 7 has so much to offer, but it is taking me a long time to figure it all out.
Thanks for trying to help me!
Did you hit the play button?
Then you should have IE version 8...it should work.
Settings 1.1.1
Flash player 10
Click the play button under the picture, then let it sit for 10 seconds, if the timer doesn't start, click it again.
Yep, hit the PLAY button so many times it's almost worn out:)
Had no problem on old 'puter.
Think I will stop in at Best Buy and ask the Geeks if they have any idea what I can do.
The play button is to the left of the words, "eaglecam - press play"
I got the commercial with sound, but still not sound or timer when eagle nest comes up.
Wanda I did finally get it to play with sound today but it has been 3 days of frustration trying to get it to come on. I just might leave it on forever now. I hit play over and over heard the singing animals refreshed the page several times watched the circle and then refreshed and walked away. Hit play while it was still a black screen and when I came into the room it was on with sound. so I think it is perseverance and patience and not your computer. Also I think it involves sheer luck. JMHO
Wanda Do you see it circling and trying to load?
can''t see anything at NBG, ah there is one egg....
Yes, all she gets it the circle.
I would see if there is an update to your flash player.
Well if she walks away and leaves it alone once she gets to the circle it might eventually come on. Thats what eventually happened for me today. But I had refreshed it a few times too trying to get rid of the circle. Gave up and left. Then got a surprise later when I came into the room the circle was gone and i head the hummm and there was my live feed. Has run ever since today.
Glo, I do have the picture and movement, just not sound. Timer isn't on and circle is still there on top of eagle sitting in nest.
I will do as you suggested and fiddle with it until it WORKS!
Probably will stop at Best Buy Friday. I don't think it is the 'puter, but they may know what I may be doing wrong. They have been super nice. Talked Gene through hooking up the printer for 45 min at no charge:)
Ewww, spidey!!!
well good luck Wanda Took me 3 days and some luck. Sounds a whole lot like what I got everytime I tried to get the live feed. My eagles moved too but clock stayed at 00.00 and circle int he middle. Decided fine I will just let it circle and get on with my day. So I am not sure how long it circled before it actually decided to start, but i had fiddled with it several times before I walked away and just let it circle.
Choo choo
Egg roll
Did someone say choo choo? : )
I'm glad to see Justin came on to say hi to everyone. You don't know how happy I am to have the family here.
'night all-don't let the bed bugs bite.
I didn't see Justin, T-bird....Hi there, fella! How are you?
Thelma, is Sissy there? Are you all ready??? Think I hear a train!
Well I think that in the early hours of tomorrow the Choo Choo Gang will be headed down the tracks! Oh what excitement!
I sure hope the little explorers at BW allow the adults to shelter them from the oncoming rain this weekend.
I can't get our live cam to even load tonight, let alone play!
I am tired of trying, and tired of looking at others that stall, flicker, or sway!!! I think my eyes are just not used to seeing things as big as they are on the 17" monitor since I've been using the netbook. My eyes are just tired!
Wonder if Mits has any good zoo stories or news from today?
Goodnight fine,fowl friends. Prayers for all needs and desires. Peace!
Wanda, try refreshing the page and clicking on the play button while the screen is still black...
I'm ready to head back the hall BUT
I just had to turn my Live Feed back on. I didn't get the commercial this time..I clicked on the play symbol..the live feed cam came up with our eagle..'ringo' kept going round and round and timer didn't start.. clicked on the pause symbol two times..
waited and BINGO the timer did start.
Now I can go to bed knowing that all is well... Hubby just reminded me about turning the clocks up and losing that hour of sleep this weekend.
I am going to see Alice in Wonderland Sunday WHoo Hoo! Jenny's family has invited me.
Good night and prayers for all!
(((hugs))) ♥ ♥ ♥
Well, this was a good day. We took GG to get her spinach seeds and bean seeds. Took her before lunch and she was fresh and ready to go...she said she is happy with the thought of Spring being near and starting her garden:)
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Finished another tray of slides, edited them and then emailed them out to family. Takes all evening to do one tray. Need to start burning them onto a cd.
Watched TV and NBG while working on slides. I think there may be a hatching. She spent a long time up and looking into the nest. JMHO
Wanda, sorry you are having problems. I just went to our cam, after ad, black screen came up, clicked the play button, circle went around and went away and the timer started. Though many times I have had to click the play button several times and then wait.
Going to read a minute.
Nite all! Sweet dreams!
Good morning eagle momsters and dadsters. Is there anyone up? The Bedford crew is getting ready to go to Norfolk to see Train. They told me we would leave at 4 AM and I'm the only one up. : ) I reckon we'll leave when we leave.
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!---T-BIRD---Be sure that BLUEFIELD SHARON doesn't leave with the TRAIN!--ho!---You folks will have a ball!!----Have FUN! FUN! FUN!
Yep, bet those gals are TRAIN-BOUND..hope Sissy remembered to pack MY UMBRELLA ! Which she took home after Open House last year...it has been in good hands but I sure hope the Southern Delegation won't have to use i !
Good Morning Everyone...
☺
BIG BIG close up of Norfolk Parent...but I haven't seen a view of the egglets yet, that's EGGlets not EAGlets
Reading about Wanda's sound woes...funny thing when I have live feed up, I have both sound and movement for about 3 minutes, then I have sound only and the movement is like the still cam...
babies alone at BWE
Megan will be sowing seeds today while I am sawing logs...
got to go dent the pillows now
Best Wishes to all for a really good day
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥
BELLE appears to be a 'happy camper' setting on the nest!!---When will the 'BIG EVENT' happen?
SOON...
MORNIN' MARGY!---You SILLY GOOSE!!!----ho!--I LOVE YA!--LOVE YA!---& I LOVE 'RED BIRDS'!!! thanks!!!!
Our little town has been busy this month!---I saw the TRAIN MAN--(the person that drives the train up the river where there are EAGLES)--NOT RELATED TO SHARON'S TRAIN!! ho!
He swears that several EAGLES have been spotted this month! --
I just had my live feed up for about 7 or 8 minutes...
heard the robins and some other birds, and honestly think I might have heard some Tundra Swans fly over...it was rather faint...
well, it's turned off now, and
I am really going to bed now.
Hope everyone has some Chuckles today ☺
xo
wow Norma, sorry I missed your last two posts..computer went all silly once I had live feed up
Hope you see some of the eagles that the Train Man is talking about
USPS - pretty fast work, huh ?
☺
Ceil is going to get me for coming back Twice ! xo
Good Morning in Eagleland T-Bird-Sharon have a great Train Ride lol, good morning dear Norma,

I hope I get to go on the train ride this year Norma. Since your a pro you'll have to guide me.
tee hee
Margy driving home yesterday before dark seen severl flocks of geese flying north. Sounded
beautiful !!
Gee Gee is still driving????
Lynn-Hedgie did they get your computer fixed?
Happy Belated Birthday to Loretta and Sunny
Don't ask me why-I guess just my time finally. I get to hear our nest and see our eagle...been days.
Lolly our yard is so soaked from all the snow-it we might as well had rain for a straight week
and heavy. Don't know what is going to happen when this rain does come.
This working in yard; bending over it taking a toll on both of my eyes
Later the tears just roll out of both just as if I'm crying - my surgery has been not a good result.
It's not the light got sun glasses
on.
Time to feed Little Man bbs=be back soon
BWE!---MOM is feeding the two 'fuzz balls'---ho!---Memories of our little chicks---they would fight for the next bite!!---SPUNKY never won!!--
MORNIN' DANA & 'LITTLE MAN'---COOL!---We will plan a train ride this summer!!---It's fun!---My lawn is soaked too!--Still have the big 'S'----now we should be getting rain--rain & more rain!--Our rivers will be over flowing!!--REMEMBER!---LIFE IS GOOD!!----
later----w/out this am & meeting this afternoon!---enjoy!
Fly in at our nest and shift change.
Good Morning! Happy 50th Birthday to my wonder husband Steve!! He's off today and sleeping in!
Dana, so sorry about your eyes. What a disappointment it must be :(
wow, for the fist time in days I have our cam up with NO PROBLEMS!!! No action at the moment. Eagle is sitting enjoying the sunshine!
I must say, the new moderated chat at NBG is NOT warm and fuzzy. They don't always have a moderator and they keep telling people to read the links first and previous posts so they don't keep getting the same questions asked. I don't know...I liked the open chat better, more friendly. JMHO. I think the regulars were pretty nice at keeping everyone updated, answering questions, and keeping everyone in line for the most part. But I guess the moderated one is useful as well.
Just had a changing of the guards at our nest!
eagle on branch at NBG is giving a serious stare at something!
no fluff ball yet. thought for sure there would be a hatch yesterday. Maybe today is the big day....and 50 whole years after Steve was born, a baby eaglet is born while the whole world watches!
Good Eagle Morning Dana2 ( :
Happy Birthday to your Steve.
I need to go out and sow some seeds. If they come up good, if not
well so be.
Yes if they hadn't told be I'd go blind. I never would have had the surgery. Surgeries for some reason just don't agree with my body. Although knee replacement was great but I have fallen several times on it. So at some point need to go see my Ortho. I just keep putting it off.
Hope your day is NICE ( :
Good Thursday a.m. everyone, Happy Birthday, Steve
Dana2 give someone like Mema Jo, Hedgie. Margy your email address so they can send it to me. Don't put on blog.

I hear Steve stirring, better get breakfast started...BBL!
Good Eagle Morning Mits ( :
I say Amen to that forecast today. I'll have to get out there now and get the leaves up from the neighbors side of fence. Pop can laying just feet from her car door.
She gets in car and never picks up the pepsi can. grrrrrr
I have health problems too but I am doing all I can do. Would wish she would too. Although I like her I just wish she wouldn't put her act on so much. It is starting to affect her son and his wife. Her son is always coming to do for her.
Leaving wife to do needed things at their house. She loved her daugther in law but she is putting a unhappy space between the couple.
bbl
got to get those leaves up and bagged
both eagles NBG
zooming in on eggs
Hello all:) Looks like we get some sun today after all.
Dana, it's way too early to sow seeds outside. The ground is not warm enough. Unless it's lettuce or peas or a few other veggies. And the coming rain will just wash them away.
Have a great day everybody!
nice to see you, Megan...yes, we have sun here now
New thread----come on over!!
