Good monday a.m. everyone
both O's at Finland nest....have not seen any O's at Finney's nest yet, but something has been there, the sticks have been re-arranged and some digging has begun.
I will join you on this new thread. Things to do and people to see! I am being a busy rabbit!
Thanks Steve - It is still a chilly morning!
I noticed at BWO there was a 3rd osprey flying overhead...... One of the two on the platform took off after the 3rd.
I'll take a look at Finney
Thanks Steve, thanks Mits for the heads up! Good morning Mits and Mema Jo! Hope all is well in your corner of the world!!
It is Sissy! Did you get a picnic table yet?
Thanks for call over, Mits.
Still chilly here and breezy, but sun is out. Feeder still waiting for hummers to show up here, too! Sissy, tell them to come on up!!
Me, too, Jo---errands to run today. Working on getting ready.
Diann, Birthday greetings again, but go back to last nights' thread!!
Talk to you all later today! Have a good one.
Nope, Mema Jo, no picnic table yet. Reckon I am going to have to breakdown and buy one! :(
Sissy - you better put a 'warmer' out for the hummers! At least heat up their juice!
I know, Mema Jo! It is 48 here now, was 39 when I got up. But they are flitting around here out here! I am tickled to see them!!
Yep! Sissy don't let Tom get the nail gun out to make you a table. You know
how he is with those tools!
I like that fish he caught (the pic) I am thinking it was this past weekend.
Megan, PJ had been to Market yesterday morning and he bought all those ramps.
I think he said he planted them. Watch out for those Ramp Smoothies!
Whooeee!
It was a 3 1/2 pound crappie! He said he should have taken it to get a citation but he didn't. We are eating him for supper tonight!!!
Tom's arm is still black and blue, hurts like the dickens, but it is getting better. No more heavy machinery for him!!!
Happy Birthday PA NANA
Diann I am wishing for you a very special day and a good year ahead
Happy Birthday Diann.
Absolutely Happy Birthday PA Nana!!
Happy Birthday PA Nana
New week and new thread. One of todays projects will be that hummingbird feeder. Pretty cold here to BUT I saw where someone in Chicago area said get the feeders out too so it will be nice to see them for sure.
Spent some time at hospital each day. Neighbor is actually much better. Still messing with sugar a little. She is totally off calcium supplement, not sure what they will do about that. Found kidney infection which is being treated and IV is out as of last night. Something about Adrenal Gland but may send her home today or tomorrow and follow that outpatient. Waiting for some test result to come back today and then will decide. It would sure be nice to have her come home.
Have a good day Palmer and Lib and Belle. We love you :-)
Morning, all!
Can hear nice sounds now at our nest!
Happy, Happy Birthday, Diann
Good morning Eagle Buds! Chilly morning here as well, 53, but we might be through with the rain until Thursday. What a mess this rain has made of my yard. Ain't what it used to be!!!!! Grrrrrr!
Happy Birthday PA Nana! Have great day! It is your day!
Got an email................
Open House at NCTC is October 23!
Mark your calendars.....mine is!
Whoopee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Steve, for your prompt response! Can hardly wait!
Palmer is waking up and saying where is everyone?
Oh my goodness - Both Paula and I were wrong on the Open House date..
So thankful you found out for all of us. Calendar is marked
Saw Wanda's comment last night. Yes, it was Falling Water where we stayed. And, yes, they did have some nice sights, but did not put us in one. Where we were was not inviting to sit outside. Oh, well, we were there to be at NCTC and to be with you guys. However, without looking at the book, I think there is a KOA at Harpers Ferry and that is probably where we will stay.
Back to get street clothes.. Too cold to just be in PJ's. I'll be out and about this afternoon and will be back late afternoon.
WHERE IS NORMA
Harpers Ferry KOA is a nice campground.
Beautiful close up of eggs and now the eagle at Hornby. Beautiful!
Thanks for the input, Megan. We have usually been very happy with KOA's.
Thanks for the date for the Open House, Lolly!
From Loch Garten......
IT'S EGG NUMBER 2!!
How exciting is that? EJ’s latest egg was laid just after 11am. The tension in the centre was unbelievable as we watched EJ lay the egg…yes for once we were all present (even those on their day off) for such a magical moment. I am pleased to report that both mum and egg seem to be doing fine and proud Odin is keeping watch from the camera tree.
Odin brought a good-sized fish yesterday evening, which EJ kept for herself while he did a bit of egg-time. He also brought in a sizable lump of moss not long before EJ laid -perhaps he wanted to make sure she was comfortable.
Keep eyes open for the third, probably Tuesday.
cool about the ramps, Megan and Jo
they are of the Lily family
Glad that Jean is doing better, Glo
adrenal gland and kidneys...I can understand that, hope all continues to improve
I was watching EJ last night, some white things were floating down upon her, couldn't been snow, maybe flower petals like we have had doing here
Hope it is a good day, everyone
and Happy Birthday on the New Thread...Diann...hope the day is Super!
I am off now, have surfed the world to check on many cams but time to get with it.
Have a great day!

update from RTH cam.....
April 19, 2010: Padding the Nest and Keeping it Clean
by Bob Sallinger
Posted on April 19, 2010 at 8:00 AM
Mom and dad are constantly adding and subtracting from the nest. On several occasions the male has brought in new greenery---this not only pads the nest and adds clean material, but green vegetation also helps repel insects that otherwise might accumulate. Those who were watching at 7:30 this morning saw mom pluck a pigeon and shower the feathers on top and around her young. She was pretty clearly adding padding to the nest. The plastic bag appears to be gone---perhaps it blew away or the adults decided to remove it themselves (it also may be hidden beneath the chicks.) In its place a long rubber strip that has also been in the nest for weeks but which has now become more prominent. The young also play a role in keeping the nest clean---Almost from the time of hatch the young instinctually lift their butts and aim their poop outward. A clean nest is important not only to keep bacteria and mites and other nastys to a minimum but also to keep the young clean. Feathers that are covered in poop or other debris will be compromised.
Also keep your eyes out for humming birds buzzing the nest. It happened fairly frequently last year and there were a few reports earlier this year, but nobody has commented on it recently.
Finnish nest on the water shows both Osprey's, and the sea seems to have melted the ice almost overnight.

Have a good Monday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DIANN--PANana!! ☺
Was watching Palmer all alone, then he waddled to 5 o'clock & was napping. SO big.
Palmer getting lunch--little chirps.
See the audio is not doing rat-a-tat-tats anymore, just whining!
Gotta do work around here & dwnld some new cam programs (& try to understand them!)
Wow, that's a neat report from RTH Helen, Thanks !
our on-line wildlife education continues ☺
Palmer is really thriving ☺
thanks to his Great Parents
(and the Potomac River helps too)
headed to Morgan County, hoping to hear the Whippoorwills tonight
ttfn all Good Afternoon xo
Good Morning, Everyone!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DIANN/PA NANA!! Hope it's a spectacular day for you--the best ever!
Margy, the ramps info is very interesting! Have never heard of them before. Might like them, though, because I like leeks. Have to find a way to tame them down a bit, though, I guess.
Just about to go get busy in the back yard. I see that my favorite day lily has a bloom on it! It's a really pretty cream and apricot color.
Will try to get a picture.
Better run--so much to accomplish today! Hope you all are having a good one. Will check back later with a progress report. Please keep an eye on Palmer for me! Later, alligators... :o]
Just to let you know I am home and
my feet are going up for a panda nap.
RTH info is great! Thanks Mits.
BBILW
Good afternoon everybody!
Hope all is well with everybody.
Happy Birthday Diann!!!
Got back from Utah on Saturday. Had a great time. It will take me a few days to process all the photos.
Miss BlueBird at the WildWatchcam has 3 eggs now....
WW BlueBird cam
GOOD AFTERNOON...
Bob's photos from Utah are probably a sight to behold. Utah has some of the most beautiful countryside and scenery that I have ever seen!
Had another "emergency" at GGs this morning. Her microwave was making a weird sound and she didn't know how to turn it off. It turned out to be the fan and she got it off while we were enroute:)
We talked her into going to Shoney's for breakfast and Gene bought her a new coffee-maker while we sat in the car. She still cannot walk very well...she says her legs feel like Jelly. I got a call from doctor this morning saying her blood work showed no problems. So what is wrong??
I feel so helpless, not knowing:(
I wanted to have her pick out some plants for her flower bed, but that will have to be another time.
Took her home and she went directly to bed...sound asleep in minutes:)
Wanda - Utah is indeed a sight to behold. We went to Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park and Snow Canyon State Park. Breathtaking!
Settling in after my day out and about. Lovely day after the wind died down. Still need to catch up with you all!!
Carolyn had to have one of her dogs put down today, so she is hurting. Need to talk to her for a little while.
Stopping in to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIANN
Wanda so sorry to hear about GG Prayers that the Lord gives her strength back
Bob bring on the picture
Happy Birthday, Diann. Many, many more.
Better a crappie than a harpie. Hope Tom's arm heals quickly.
Hi Glo. Glad your neighbor is better. Say hi to her for us.
Wanda, so sorry about GG's dilemma but so grateful she has you and the Capt.
Checked on RTH and could clearly see three little bobble heads -- mom above. Palmer asleep and alone.
Things are really getting serious around my house. Forgot to put food out for the critters and when I got home from school the squirrels were marching up and down with signs proclaiming "squirrel abuse" and the cardinals had signs complaining about a seed shortage. It just never ends.
Hoping all others had a wonderful, if chilly, day.
Off to the kitchen.
Lynn, so sorry about Carolyn's dog. It is heartbreaking. Give her our love, please.
Lynn really sorry to hear when someone loses a best friend. Give Carolyn our love
Mits and Lolly thanks for the updates
Judie so glad you reminded me I have to go to the store for peanuts or tomorrow they will be rapping on the door
Judie glad you reminded me We are out of peanuts. They will be tearing the door down in the morning
Blog is going crazy.I have to post twice.
Bob, can't wait to see your pics. Bet you have hundreds!!! Glad you enjoyed the trip!! How did the Mrs. get along with her toe??
oh, Lynn, so sad for Carolyn, give her a (((hug)))
Thanks for sympathies for Carolyn. Fatso has been in decline for a few weeks, and it took 10 days to get the vet to come out to do the job. Fatso praobably weighed 150# and was not the least bit amenable to getting into a vehicle. His legs finally gave out yesterday and he couldn't walk at all. Vet said his lungs were full of fluid...so now he is at peace. He was pretty old for a dog his size.
Know what you gals mean about the squirrels. I have 1/2 bag of peanuts left, and 3/4's bag of sunflower seeds for the birds. I'll put them out tomorrow...and then they are on their own until Charlie gets the corn feeder fixed.
Wanda, so sorry about GG having more trouble. (((Hugs))) to her AND you!
lol....Fatso?????
yes, Wanda hope GG feels better soon, don't ya hate it when you feel like crap, and all the tests come back great.
Wish Bob wouldn't tease us with the promise of photos and then make us wait. No feathers or beads for him at OPEN HOUSE this year!
Oh, remember, he said he was going to take some photos of US...so, be on your best behavior. We have plenty of time to practice;)
♫♪♪♫HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR DIANN,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU♫♪♫♪
Yes, Helen, don't know what to do when there is a problem and the doctor says there is no problem.
She is not eating properly again and may be getting weak JMHO.
2 more months and her doctor retires and a new doctor will be hers...he is a Gerontologist and may know a little more about her problems.
yeah, that sounds like he might be a better fit right now for her.
Lynn - Sarah did great with her bionic toe. She climbed up to Observation Point in Zion. An elevation gain of 2000 feet. I stayed back and did two less strenuous hikes.
Yes, Wanda. I'll be taking plenty of pictures of the LOUD table.
Good to hear that Sarah did so well, Bob!! Tell her she MUST come to Open House with you this year!!! We want to meet her!
Wanda, why not go ahead and make the switch to the gerontologist/geriatrist now???!!!
TEE HEE! We know who that is;)
BTW, while I'm thinking about it...Capt. Gene will be at Fishing Camp the weekend of June 5. So the Eagle Express will not be available then, but will be Memorial weekend and the weekend of June 12. We don't really need the Eagle Express to visit, but it does make it more convenient:)
That's a good question, Lynn! I do need to call and make an appointment for when Dr. B retires. Maybe they will take her in before then??
The loud table. That is the one with Wanda and Gene, right?
Hi all! Trailer is in the driveway and we are getting ready to leave Thursday. Been on the computer planning our trip in the fall. Boy, I am ready to go!!
Wanda, so sorry about GG. Interesting that her blood work is okay. Something isn't right! (((hugs))) for you and GG!
Bob, Zion is a favorite park of our but it has been years since we have been there. I love the hike along the river! Bryce is impressive, but I certainly like Zion better. Have never been to that third park you mentioned.
Worked in the yard some today, but it is still very wet. The sun did come out for a while.
Lynn, so sorry about Fatso. Love the name! Laurel's cat and dog are both getting older, and Annie, our cat will be 15 in June. This is the risk we take with having and loving pets.
Jack just came in making a noise. Asked what the problem was....his response...."I am supposed to be hot this time of year." It is presently 63 and has been cool all day......really weird!!
Stew and dumplings are ready....BBL!
The loud table? Couldn't have been Wanda and Gene. I think it was Bob. Speaking of Bob, glad you and Sarah enjoyed the trip and that she was able to be active.
Wanda, do try to get GG in to see the gerontologist. No harm no foul.
So pleased I was able to remind so many that seeds, etc. are needed. Had one heck of a time getting those critters to put down their picket signs. Told them they don't belong to a union so just quit it. Looks bad for the neighborhood.
Off to try to relax. Maybe a little mindless t.v. BBL
Evening, all!
Wow it's really quiet at the nest.
Trying to get caught up tonight, on blog, dishes, putting away laundry, all that kind of stuff!
Ramp smoothies? Give me strawberry and banana!
Wanda, sorry to hear about GG, maybe another visit is in order.
Glo, glad neighbor is doing better.
Bob, Utah sounds great! And I agree, bring Mrs Bob to the Open House.
Lynn, so sorry to hear about Fatso. Please give Carolyn a great big hug from us.
Have to get my hummer feeder out. My birds are still cleaning out the regular feeders.
Wanda, would the eagle express be available on May 29, the weekend after Memorial Day?
Lolly, where are you headed?
I just got my feet back on the ground and moving! lol
Lynn - so sorry to hear about Fatso. Please let Carolyn know I am thinking of her.
Bob - photos will be great I am sure
Happy you and Sarah had a great get away
Wanda - Prayers for you and Gene as caregivers of GG. Praying for her health to return. Older persons will have a fear eventually of being alone...That will be your go ahead to bring her to your home or to a Home for the Aged near by. I think you are going to be entering this phase of GG's life soon. Would be great for her to have a walker....
Here's the article to go along with the video I posted yesterday.
And it has pictures of the hack tower, too.
Noah's tracking device
Paula - Check out your calendar - isn't Memorial Day Monday May 31?
Looks like June 12th is turning out to be Nest Visit especially in order for Capt Gene to be with us.
Palmer would be 12 weeks old on the 12th. We may be pushing our luck with Palmer's fledging - What do you think?
Oh and thanks for the RTH info Mits, and for ya'll posting you have seen all 3 chicks.
Yes, May 31 is Memorial Day, I thought it was the 24th.
Some thoughts on that date, would be that we may be able to see him flying around the nest if he does fledge before that. I prefer the 5th myself.
Paula, we are headed to the Texas hill country....central TX. Going to an all years hs reunion at Kerrville, TX and then going to Fredericksburg, TX for a couple more days. Going to be with sister and brother and spouses, should be a great week.
Aw, poor baby eagle a month old fell out of its nest. The eaglet is the same age as Palmer, great pics of what our Palmer looks like up close.
Eaglet falls out of nest
Meant to tell you, Steve said the open house is a week later this year due to busy schedules.
Tomorrow is the first of the last three official school days for me. So very happy. Need to get up early.
Turning my light off but leaving the night light on for others. Sleep peacefully.
Don't forget we have to check with Steve....maybe you should run the possible dates by him.
Thanks, Lolly.
Judie, glad your semester is almost over!
Oh, I do hope they will be able to release that little eagle. I hate to think of it in a zoo!
Yes, checking things out with Steve is the first step. A list of those attending is always given to the Guards.
Last time we had lunch in the Eagle Express - We can also have lunch in the cafe as long as it is open on the Saturday selected.
We'll get the available plans laid out and have everyone have some input. So far we know that Capt is fishing and Dana is selling on the 5th
I sure hope the reason is so not to conflict with the crowds at Sheps' Homecoming and the Apple Festival.
I hope that little guy's wing heals!
They should publish this more often in each state:
If you find an eagle
Find an eagle? It's against federal law to disturb or take a bald or golden eagle, whether found alive or dead. The law also applies to their feathers, nests or eggs. Penalties for violating the law include a maximum fine of $5,000 or one year in prison, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. If a wounded eagle is found in this area, call the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission at 425-7577. If it's found on U.S. Corps of Engineers property, call 425-2700.
The little eagle is sure a big eagle. He'll get more to eat at the zoo then up in the nest. They should really follow suite of Dr Sharps' Eagle Feeding Glove!
Hi all, just checking in.
Lynn so sorry to hear about Carolyn's dog....it hasn't been so long ago that I was there. Please let her know I'm thinking of her.
Wanda...prayers for GG, and for you and Gene as well.
Heading to bed....hopefully will have time to chat tomorrow! Prayers for all....can't help but think about Chrissy and family as they prepare to leave their home. Extra prayers for them.
Nite!
I am watching 'Damages' TV show tonight at 10:00 through 11:30.
This is the close of this season.. so I guess they'll leave you hanging on!
Be Back Later........
Hi everyone. Just checking in to thank everyone for the birthday cards and wishes.
I appreciate all of you and thank you for considering me worthy of your friendship. God bless all of you.
I'll try to check back tomorrow.
(((hugs)))
rats, Finland cam is stuck on last night's sunset right now, but it is pretty with the osprey sitting there...
Commercial - RTH feeding time
Have no clue what is there in the nest now. I can see all 3 chicks.
Both adults in the Sidney nest.
RTH nest...looks like the other parent standing there at the back of the nest...oh nope it just flew in
Hornby eagle incubating on nest
Think it's a late switch...
I'm taping Damages, Jo!
Good article about the rescued eaglet. Can you imagine 75 minnows in 12 hrs.???? What a little piglet!
Wanda, you have mail!
Mits, if the Finland cam has to be stuck, that sure is a beautiful sight! Thanks for alerting us.
Hope you are feeling better and get a good nights' sleep.
Hedgie - you'll like the close of the season Damages....... Like Hubby said in this episode they just finished off last year's plots........ lol
Ok - Off to bed -
Good Night All
Praying for all needs/wants
WOOPS!
((((hugs to all)))♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Jo, I agree that it would be a treat to see Palmer flying around the nest and jumping from branch to branch, so maybe the 12th wouldn't be so bad.
But then, there is also the 29th. We do have those two options if we want to utilize the Eagle Express:)
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Guess I'd better think about turning in...it's been a long day, but a good one. I'm just a little bit hyper---think I've had too much sugar!!
Volcano stuff may be getting worse. They showed a map with the direction of cloud-spread---mostly southeast and a little SW---not presently heading toward Finland. I had also heard over the weekend that the increase in seismic activity was making then fearful that a much larger volcano there could become active!
Had a great niece get married over the weekend. Have been on fb looking at wedding pics. Then I noticed I had a friend request from a boy I knew in high school. Well,that led to seeing who he was friends with and that led to another and so on. Got lost of fb! Help!
Before I say goodnight, just want to say:
Happy Birthday, Justin!!! Hope you have a great day and a great year!!
See you fine, fowl friends in the morning! Margy, hope you are back in your roost! Prayers for all.
Nite Lynn! Nite all!See ya in the morning.
Sweet dreams!
Lynn - did you finished off the Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Good Night All (Again)
35° this am.
No cam pic here this morning, just black screen with those stupid spinning arrows...
Morning Megan. Me too, black screen turning arrows! ARGH!!!
And the still cam looks all washed out! :(
GOOD MORNING ALL...
I have sent Steve a 9-1-1 email:)
We need to see our little ray of sunshine!
The NCTC live feed for the EagleCam is on a Comcast Cable modem. Presently all cable modem connections at NCTC are down. We've contacted Comcast, and a technician is being sent to NCTC.
thanks John!
Morning all!

Lynne2
I didn't hear my whippoorwills last night
but I see you saw Eastern Meadowlarks in Terra Alta, aren't they magnificent?
Catch them in the sun, beautiful yellow features ☺
you scared me Sissy, Robin Dead on a Blue Jay, but I understand it now....
Safe Landing
Discovery is Home ☺
Margy, I'm beginning to think that catching ANYTHING in the sun in Terra Alta is a rare event...at least when I'm there!
I have been NEAR Terra Alta but never really BEEN there....
hope to do it someday Lynne
Hope the job is going well
how are Daisy and Pearl?
Perfectly successful landing for the shuttle! Never ceases to amaze and awe me!! Sure will miss it when it's all over.
Morning all.
Thanks, John, for cam info...and Wanda for sending the SOS!! Still cam really pale and glary-looking here, too.
Please pray for Joyce Fink. They have called her back to prep her for surgery. I will update you on her condition as soon as we are informed.
Remember, God is Good—All the Time!
Pastor Eddie
This is the lady who made the soup for our Soup Kitchen meal.
She is having 2 cancerous tumors removed from her right kidney this morning and then treat her with whatever is necessary in hopes of saving the kidney. The left kidney must be removed.
Our church hasn't had a medical miracle for 12 years, please pray for our Joyce and help this miracle to happen. Thank You♥
Lynn, you may know Joyce, she used to live in Hedgesville and is of your profession as is her daughter, Brenda.
NEW THREAD!!!
Good Afternoon, Everyone!
Boy, I must've been TIRED last night!
Fell asleep after dinner, and watched TV through my closed eyelids!
Have been busy cleaning house and studying today.
Whoopee! Our feathered friend the Spotted Towhee is back! Gosh, he's pretty! But now the gardeners are here, and scaring off everything with feathers, they make so much noise with their blower! Rats.
Have read back a little to try to catch up. LYNN, so very sorry to hear of Carolyn's loss of her dog. Please give her my heartfelt condolences, and a big (((HUG))). I am truly sorry. I'm sure, though, that her fur baby had a wonderful life with her.
Wanda, so sorry to hear of the problems that GG has had, but glad to know the medical tests all came out OK. Prayers that she improves rapidly!
