WHOO HOO Good Friday Evening
to all and Thank You Steve for the fresh thread


Will call others over.

Mits said...

I only see 1 thread , Ceil:)

Mits said...

and yes, I have been thinking about Deb, with this volcano, she would send me daily pics of the one out in Alaska

ceil said...

THere was a Friday and a Saturday thread. The Saturday one is gone now

Mema Jo said...

Ceil I thought I was going crazy

Glad we only have one blog and I hope the Blogger Cop is still over on the one that didn't come through!

BEagle said...

Thank you Steve.

I was just yakking away on the Thursday thread. Thanks for ....
the call over .... is that what it is?

It took me a while to figure out what SPLIT was.

ceil said...

She would love watching this one but it is causing a lot of air trouble

Mits said...

I believe you:)

Mits said...

yes, she was fascinated with them and yes, this one is a real pia.

Mema Jo said...

Hi Mits - thanks for all the pics today - with my running around I really didn't have time to see any cams. If they don't soon get the loon cam up/running and get the kinks out of the MNBound Owl I may be forced to watch the Wildwatch Owl.

ceil said...

BEagle yep you got it.
Jo I was going to ask you which one

Mema Jo said...

I think Belle is putting fluff on Palmer.....

ceil said...

Jo Jim and I were up at the Outlets in Hagerstown today. I thought of you

Mits said...

lol....yeah, well, she already looks like there have been some mishaps with the eggs there....I'm still waiting for the bluebird eggs on that site, but osprey have been there this week and have done some nestorations

Mema Jo said...

Belle knows she is not in for a pleasant night. Winds are getting up again and I am sure there is more rain coming to our area.

ceil said...

Palmer was putting fluff on herself

kickngbird said...

It looks like she's pulling a blankie over Palmer, doesn't it

Mits said...

Wild Watch Cams

paula eagleholic said...

Evening, all, thanks for the new thread Steve.

Maybe Steve forgot what day it was :)

paula eagleholic said...

Found this short article, makes me wonder what Indiana Dave has been up to.

Indiana eagles

BEagle said...

Smallville is on. Gotta watch.

Mits said...

great the osprey out at WW, has its big tail in front of the cam lens:(

paula eagleholic said...

Keep your fingers crossed...that bun in the oven might just be ready....DIL is having some "signs" that there may be progress....hope it continues!

paula eagleholic said...

Hi Ceil! Glad you could stop in...you must be busy!

Nice to see you too, Mits!

ceil said...

Paula good article
Dave come on and tell us what you are up too

BEagle said...

Well, I had to check the Indiana nest article. Stiff penalties for messin' with the nests.

paula eagleholic said...

And you went thru Frederick, as well, Ceil.

kickngbird said...

Mema Jo, I bet you're right - when the wind died down earlier (the calm before the hail started), she KNEW something was up. Her head got erect, she took off walking and did a circle of the nest, looked around, then came and covered Palmer. A lot of furred and feathered creatures are better weather predictors than we are!

BEagle said...

Prayers going up for baby!

paula eagleholic said...

I am trying to find something for dinner, I've had leftover spaghetti 4 nights this week, so pasta and sauces are out! Jo, this kind had MEATBALLS!

ceil said...

Paula hope that baby is coming. Prayers for a new little eaglet.I am always busy. Getting ready to volunteer at the Aquarium I thank the Lord I can keep busy.

ceil said...

Oops Paula we did

Lolly said...

Posted this on the old thread.........
Lolly said...
Hi all! Ok, what is it? We have been mentioning Deb quite a bit lately, thinking of her so much and here I am....having a melt down! Trying to get a grip!!!!

Belle is such a fantastic Mom. Reading about her protectiveness with Palmer.

Think I am on top of planting for this spring...and preparing beds. Still need to plant caladium bulbs, but they do not arrive for a nother couple of weeks. We order them from Florida.

Lynn....tomorrow is Texas Motor Speedway!!! YUK! We will run into traffic as we have to go by the speedway going to Laurel's tomorrow. We are going to both boys games.

ceil said...

Have been watching Jamie Oliver on Friday nights. He is in Huntington WV

ceil said...

Prayers for all

Lolly said...

Yea! Paula! So exciting about the baby coming. NOTHING better than a new little one! God be with and bless the Momma and the new little one!

paula eagleholic said...

Osprey nest is MT at LW,,,,eagle in their nest tho, almost missed the eagle incubating...

paula eagleholic said...

YaY! I finally got the CT osprey cam up...had trouble installing the Axis media stuff...sent the company an email, and they sent me a link to download the software from their website...so I finally have that cam up and running....I see they have a blog link on their homepage with pics, haven't checked it out yet.

hedgie said...

Yep, Lolly....traffic will be bad for you! Just watch out for the rednecks! Ha,ha....think we're all rednecks when it comes to NASCAR!! Right, Lowreeda??

We had a 3rd storm....worse than the 2nd but not as bad as the 1st!
Paula....I am GLAD that you get a reprieve for the evening. You need a break!

Love the PPS moniker, BEagle!!!

hedgie said...

You got it, BEagle!! Anytime you want to know the lingo, just ask!!! We'll fill you in!

Bet Deb would really be in to this eruption!

paula eagleholic said...

Sounds like rain at our nest.

Ceil, the aquarium would be cool. Haven't been there in a long while. What would you be doing?

Wind and rain our nest.

paula eagleholic said...

OH, I like the PPS, too :)

Mema Jo said...

Hubby has me watching a very down to earth movie )The kind I love - No Violence)

BBsoon

paula eagleholic said...

Oh crap, it's raining here too! Gonna have wet dogs...

Mits said...

we have beeen missing all the rain here:(, just some strong breezes

hedgie said...

Ceil, how were the outlets? I have never gone there!!!! Not much of a shopper! Since ours closed down (many of them went to Prime), I just haven't thought much about going. Local joke always was that the outlets were SO full of busloads of out-of-towners that the locals couldn't get in! So have never been in to it that much.

BEagle said...

I haven't had a stitch of rain.



(blush, blush, blushing)
OK. What is a moniker?
(Blush attack.)

hedgie said...

Too bad they didn't use one of Dave's photos for that article....his are better!!! I was just thinking about him the other day.........wish he would check in with us.

hedgie said...

I thought it was pretty neat the way Jamie Oliver won over that DJ last week, huh, Ceil? All I can say is that his school lunch program should be in every school system in the country, as should Shaq O'Neal's physical fitness and nutrition program that he tried to start in FL schools last year.

paula eagleholic said...

BEagle where are you...I forget.

paula eagleholic said...

Love those shake offs!

Mits said...

so exciting about the new baby, Paula, two of my good buddies have become 1st time grandmoms, one baby came fine, the other had problems but is doing great now...

paula eagleholic said...

CT Audobohn blog has some great pics of the cam installation...make sure you scroll down to the bottom of the first page, and click on older posts. You will find it there.

Initial link is on the homepage.

BEagle said...

Charleston

ceil said...

wrote a book and the blogger ate it
Will try again.
Paula I will be doing similiar to what Mits does at the zoo. Answering visitor questions.
Lynn like the outlets but they are not crowded any more. Had a good lunch. LOL

ceil said...

Paula keep us updated.

Mits said...

yeah, right place, right time, Paula....love that nest.

Big tenting going on our nest...

paula eagleholic said...

Ajay hopes baby comes this weekend too, she wants to meet her so bad!

I told her if I didn't hear from them overnight, I would check with her in the morning, and then decide my day from there...

BEagle said...

Moniker...name or nickname. Possibly alteration of Irish Gaelic.

What would the Indians say?

BEagle said...

The CT Audobon is an error page.

paula eagleholic said...

2 eaglets at WE :):)

hedgie said...

That link isn't working, Paula!!
Is Ajay going to let you be present for the birth?

BEagle said...

Nice weather on the OR nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Been checking out IWs nests...all is well...both parents at WE

Belle has head tucked back

BEagle said...

One of the PH chicks has it's own little spot atop the edge of the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Well, try this one!


CT Audobon

BEagle said...

Did you get to check the RTH chicks?
They were pounding the heck out of each other earlier...the rascals.

paula eagleholic said...

CT Audobon, click on Osprey cam on the left...then you can see Mits' pic there or on the home page as well.

BEagle said...

That'll work.

BEagle said...

It's almost time for a TH nest sunset, they are very nice.

Twilight at the WE nest is nice too.

paula eagleholic said...

No haven't checked the RT chicklets yet.

I will most likely be there Lynn. Was present for Cohen, missed Brensin when I was in OC and she had him in the middle of the night!

paula eagleholic said...

Adults at WE feeding chicks and chowing down, had a fish fest earlier today...awwww look at them!

BEagle said...

OR just did an egg roll. Still two in the nest.

Ragdoll said...

Hello Eagle Buds. Only popped in for a minute. Was checking our nest to say good night to Palmer. Made my rounds with the other sites.

my comment for the night is:

"The two chicks at the Two Harbors nest just aren't pottie trained like our Palmer" LOL

take a look and see.

Good Night Eagle friends. Sweet Dreams. I am heading north tomorrow. ^..^

BEagle said...

Gorgeous sunset on the TH nest. Two sleeping eaglets and awesome pose by the mother.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL Ragdoll....those darn rocks just get in the way!

NatureNut said...

Someone mention Nascar??!! We had to watch Nationwide car race tonight! Thank God & Greyhound it's over! Got the Nats on doing baseball~~~there's a whole lot of shouting~~~NO WONDER~~Nats 5, Mil 3!!! Amazing-final score.

BEagle said...

WE nest is having a sunset dinner.

Ragdoll said...

I had to share that with you. LOL If their were rock near Palmer it would probably hit the rock and bounce back on he/she. That chick has power. LOL Good Night, Prayer for all needs. Hugs.

BEagle said...

The youngest on the WE nest just did a somersault. Oops.

BEagle said...

Palmer a female. TH males... : ) lol

Mema Jo said...

I get very excited about eggs hatching but when it comes to Babies being Born I get deliriously happy ! Prayers for Ajay's healthy little girl that is coming into this world.

paula eagleholic said...

RTH chicks in view

Mema Jo said...

Good Night Deb

BEagle said...

Belle is swaying in the wind.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks Carole at CHIL forum for this link...very interesting article on Hancock site about the Delta pair...this was the pair with the really small nest, couple of eagles fell out, nest eventually fell to the ground.

Delta pair

paula eagleholic said...

Maine 2 nest now has 2 chicks, second one hatched today!

Mema Jo said...

Checked out the Ft St Vrain owl and owlets (2) Good pic at 8pm

Mema Jo said...

I am going to call it a day1 Was a fun day but I sure am ready to hit the pillows.

Good Night All
Praying for everyone's needs

((hugs)) ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Holler at us, Paula, when things get going!

paula eagleholic said...

No further news tonight on GD...so, will call in the morning. Going to turn in, in case I get a middle of the night phone call :)

Have a good evening.

Hugs to all ♥

hedgie said...

THanks for links, Paula!

Loretta.....did you hear the awful thing that a Philly fan did at the Nats game yesterday????? Most disgusting behavior I ever heard of.

Has been raining here off and on all evening. Sure hope it clears up for the weekend!

hedgie said...

Re: taxi birth and Delta egg: Remember the article yesterday did say that eagles sometimes DO nest on the ground! Charlotte, I guess, is a good example, despite enclosure. But talk about heightened vigilance being required!

hedgie said...

Good night, my fine fowl friends.
Peaceful rest. Prayers for all our many needs.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL

NatureNut said...

Lynn, I didn't hear about other game.
Falling asleep in front of TV, so it's time to say Pleasant Feather Dreams & Prayers for All ;>)

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Everyone,
It's so late I don't know whether to say good night, or good morning!

Fell asleep in front of the TV.

Have been panda napping off and on all day. We went out to dinner for Chinese food--Yummy!

Going to try to get some more sleep.
Leaving the night light on, and the porch light, too. Eye scanner security is enabled. Prayers said for everyone, especially Chrissy and family! Prayers, too, for Paula's new grandbaby to come into the world soon! How exciting! Sleep well, and God Bless. Will talk to you tomorrow.
Love all you guys! :o]

paula eagleholic said...


Good morning!!

magpie said...

Judie said...

Good morning, everyone.

Congratulations, Paula. Wishing an easy time for DIL and baby.

Ragdoll said...

Good Morning Eagle Friends. Leaving for our trip up north. Have a nice weekend. School is out for the next week (spring vacation). Yeee Haaa.

Paula you and DIL are in my prayers for a speedy, easy delivery. Congratulations, I am so excited for you.

Take care of Palmer while I'm away. SHE is so sweet.

stronghunter said...

Good morning,

Deb/Ragdoll, Enjoy your break.

Have been missing you all. I've been coming home tired and crashing. Fighting the colitis. I have had to go into work late in the mornings which puts me a bit behind in planning and organizing since it is my planning time.

stronghunter said...

Yea, Paula! Best wishes for you and your family. An exciting and busy time.

stronghunter said...

Good morning, Judie.

Congratulations, Ceil, on the new volunteer job.

Hi, Margy. Rest well.

We had an interesting demonstration at our school yesterday. A mock crash scene with rescue squad, state police, even a helicopter. Several of my students participated. I was proud of them. Can't wait to talk to the young man who played the part of the drunk driver. A very nice kid! The last I saw of him, he was being handcuffed and dragged into a police car. He even struggled with the police a little, but I heard he was nervous about his acting part beforehand.

stronghunter said...

Paula might want those pj's before the day is over. I remember going to the hospital for Hunter's birth. I went directly from work in my teaching duds. I was at the hospital all night and my professional get-up was a mess by morning. Pajamas would have been nice.

stronghunter said...

The day Hunter was born, my phone kept ringing with progress reports from my daughters--both of them--and my SIL. My students (freshmen), fortunately a great group, told me that I should go ahead and leave them alone. They assured me that they'd be just fine. I had to laugh at them. Nope, I did not leave them. I stuck it out until the last bell, then jumped in my car and rushed to the hospital.
