Good morning to all.
Love watching Palmer grow.
Thank you the Wednesday thread Steve!
Big fish on the nest.
Lib must attract the attention of all devoted fishermen and women.
Good Wednesday a.m. everyone thanks BE for the call over....
I believe it is Belle that just arrived and is feeding leftovers to Palmer.
It looks like more greenery has arrived on the nest.
Palmer is scratching away!
Your welcome Mits.
I think Palmer is getting ready for a PS
Done while typing
It was snowing on the OR nest last night. Better go check on it.
Yessireee. There is snow covering the OR nest and it is still snowing.
Br-r-r-r.
Morning all. Look at the distinct black on Palmer's wings!! SO pretty. Hadn't noticed it before.
Check out this story:
Injured Bald Eagle
Morning BEagle, Mits and Lynn
Hope everyone has a good day
Blogger is giving me a fit
Very interesting about the injured eagle. I haven't gone to the additional views of the operation yet because it may be a little gory.
The PH nest is still getting some strong winds but NOTHING like last night when #10 was begin somersaulted on the nest by the rain and wind, trying to hold on to the nest and protect and keep the chicks under him.
Oh...pardon me. I meant to say thank you for that article Hedgie.
Thank you.
BWE has pick the winners and will be notifying them.
I missed it but there was a photo of the BWO in the Baltimore Sun Lisa has the picture on the BWO site
Norfolk eaglets are really getting big
It's coming clear the amazing variety of adversities that hit our nests and birds.
Isn't it nice that there are people truly there to help when possible?
I especially like the markings on Palmer presently. Before...Palmer looked splotchy. Now there is design to the back.
The RTH chicks are rousing and mom has left the nest. They are not punching each other just yet.
Good morning! Went to read about the eagle, Lynn. Saw this link to a blog. I found it interesting as this is where I am from....The Rio Grand Valley in Texas. Born and raised there and really never apprciated the birds. lol Left to go to college and never returned to live...only visit.
Rio Grand Birding Blog
Anxious to hear the BWE names, but Paula's Lewis and Clark should be the winner! And they will always be Lewis and Clark to me. Great names!
I don't get to the BWE site much but Lewis and Clark sound like great names for that pair.
The TH twins are looking like Palmer, trying to grow into the wings and feet.
They do not have rivalry, those two.
The younger just follows the older around on the nest.
Okay, i have checked out a few cams and fb. It is now time to get busy. We leave in the morning, lots to do today.
Have a great day!☺
The NJ chicks are growning. They look more like Palmer. The TH twins look so dark but that might be because of the cam. ??
Lewis and Clark are good, but I also liked Wanda's Beavis and Butthead!! Will be anxious to hear results!
BEagle...pics weren't really too gory!
Lolly, some great pics on that blog. Love the Chachalaca and the parrot and the doves!
Good Morning All! It has been raining here in the valley.
Watching the live cam - once again when I put it up I do NOT have any control buttons under the cam....???
Palmer is starting to get the flying feathers!
You were right Hedgie, the pics for the injured eagle weren't too bad. A couple were. The dog took off the edge though.
What a pretty dog.
I guess that's Belle with Palmer trying to add a little warmth.
One last check on the OR nest and I have to get busy. The snow has slowed a little but still...it's snowing.
If anyone misses the snow, lol, go to OR. : )
BEagle....no mo' snow!!! DOn't want to see it ever again!!
No significant rain here---just a few sprinkles. Cloudy and cool....MTBR.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
GooD MorninG,
EveryOnE ...
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
We are having some cool weather here in So Cal today with a good chance of rain .. maybe some thunder and lightening too.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Hi, Jim! I like cloudy days sometimes!! Gives me an excuse for feeling lazy!!
Blog is acting up again....if you don't see your post, refresh and it might be there! Duh....
i'VE been known to curl up in a ball and sleep a rainy day away. It's great once in a while.
Not too lately though.
Well, I've got laundry down in the room and some other things to do today....
Might be back later.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Hahaha, I was just looking at BW, when both sites went black-screened.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Hedgie/BEagle - the Live Cam: do you have it up? Do you have the controls under the cam view?
I just refreshed (F5) mine and still don't have those controls - cam just starts without me doing anything.
Must still be raining at nest....Belle is still covering Palmer in same position as an hour ago.
Jo, controls show okay, but when I first tried to restart it I got an error message and then had to refresh.
Palmer stretched out! Belle got in a
wide wing stretch..
JUDIE - I can't get any messages through the email address I have for you. Maybe your in email jail?
Lunch time here
BBILW
Good Morning/Afternoon, Everyone!
Lynn, thanks for the link about the injured bald eagle! So glad he's on the mend. Amazing what those folks are doing! God bless their efforts.
It's a gorgeous day here, no rain at the moment--although expecting more today. The sun keeps trying to break through, and it's pretty breezy here right now. The air is SO wonderfully fresh!
Had a real start when I awoke rather suddenly today--Hubby was snoozing away, well past the time he normally has left for work. He took the day off as a vacation day, but didn't mention it to me, so I thought he had called in sick! Phew! Glad he's OK, but wish he had told me ahead of time. Would've saved me a near heart attack!
Boy, I must've been sleeping pretty soundly! Hubby says he tried to wake me to let me know what was going on, but I was out cold. I don't sleep as often or as well as I used to, but when I DO, you could march a 27-piece band through the place, and I would be oblivious to it!
Am able to get the live cam! Yippee!
It's not giving me any trouble today.
Palmer looks like a gawky teenager the way he handles those big wings!
Has one wing kinda drooped right now--really cute! The wind at the nest sounds like what we're getting out here in SoCal today. Not Santa Ana winds, but pretty blustery! Know what you mean, Jim, about hibernating the day away in weather like this. Wish I could, but gotta study for tonight's test. Rats. Oh, well, maybe tomorrow. Gotta go--will check back later. Great to see Palmer again! Hope I don't jinx the spell. Have a good afternoon, everyone! Prayers continue for Chrissy and family. (((HUGS)))! :o}
OMG, you guys! Hubby just called me out to the dining room to see a pair of new birdie visitors--two Eurasian Collared Doves!!! Have NEVER seen any of them before, and they are big and BEAUTIFUL!!! Google them, and go to the Cornell website, and the picture on the left is EXACTLY what we have in our yard! Gosh, I HOPE they stick around for a while--they're SOOOO pretty! They showed up with a couple of pairs of Mourning doves. Got a quick picture--will try to edit it and zoom a bit, and I'll share. BRB! :o]
Here you go--the Eurasian Collared Doves are the 2 larger doves on the ground. Not as sharp a picture as I would like, but had to zoom it a bit for a closer look.
Popped in for another minute. It looks like Belle brought in an abundance of fluff for Palmer to work with. If Palmer is a she, she will have to learn this. Right?
Wow, Andy, aren't they special birds! You sure get a variety!! They must spread the word of the right place to come to the whole avain community!!
Good luck on your test tonight--as if you need it!
I don't believe that the timer on our cam is right.....LOL....10:30 sure goes by awfully fast!!!
Just peeking in at lunchtime, I see it's sunny at the nest...steady rain all day here in Frederick.
Jo, I am using Firefox, have all my controls.
BEagle, both males and females need to learn nest building techniques in the eagle world!
I see those new feathers coming in :)
And the nice fresh greenery in the nest....breezy there now.
Yes, Paula. I actually got to see the fresh greenery come in that time.
I don't know who brought it. Belle or Lib.
Something I have noticed on the Sidney nest website. If you scroll down, they have a picture of the male and female and distinctive characteristics for each. Every time I view the nest I know which one is which.
Can something like that be done for our nest?
Since the sun came out and it didn't rain, I went ahead and took Cinnamon in for a nail trim.
BTW, Carolyn thanks everyone for their thoughts and hugs over losing Fatso.
Paula, I'm assuming that Ajay and Gianni made it home okay, right??? The FB tagged photos threw me for a minute.
Actually talked to Ajay today, tried calling last night but didn't talk to anyone. Ajay and baby home just fine...Cohen loves the baby and is just amazed by the breast feeding! Brensin is adjusting, he just didn't know what to make of her the first day or two, was a little afraid of her at first I think, he would cry when she cried! He's much better today :)
Just had a phone call from Dana. Her eye is giving her so much trouble. The Dr. has patched it and using new medicine. She says hi, hugs, and prayers to/for all, and she'll be back when she can.
Oh, Paula, that is so cute!!! They will all adjust to the new presence quickly! Reminds me of two stories: when I was about 10, went to my first wedding. My sister and I embarrassed our folks badly by crying loudly because we thought that's what we were supposed to do at a wedding! So maybe Brensin thought crying with Gianni was what he was supposed to do! And then when Christie was nursing, Carolyn loved to watch, too; Chris would always fall asleep and her tiny little head would loll to the side; Carolyn said "Mommy, baby fell off the booby!" Memories are made of this!!
LOL, cute stories, Lynn.
Cohen tells everyone at school that his Mommie's boobies make milk and that's what Gianni eats! Then yesterday, he told his GGM that he used to do that too, LOL.
What a lazy afternoon.
Got to move it and head down to meet up with Alexis for the evening.
I'll touch base a little after 8.
There is so much fluff in the nest
Is Palmer at the 11:00 position?
Yup, that looks like Palmer.
Sorry Dana's eye is giving her so much trouble, I was hoping the new drops had helped.
Oh, Paula, aren't little ones wonderful? They bring so much laughter along with the joy!
Can really see leaf shadows starting on our nest! Good!! Shade for Palmer!
The 2 BWE eaglets are laying side by side in the nest, their tails are starting to get longer. Parent was feeding them a little while ago.
I know we aren't supposed to pray for material things, but I am praying anyway for a Powerball win tonight, so that I can save poor Chrissy. I don't think God will mind that kind of prayer, will He??
I've been playing PB and MegaMillions too Lynn. I don't think HE would be upset by our asking for a win to help Chrissy. I sure wish we'd hear from her....
I LOVE all the baby stories~!
Well maybe if you don't win I will and it will be a mission accomplished.
I didn't hit the Lotto..... so my luck isn't the best!
Playmate just went home so I am sitting and enjoying a cup of coffee.
Paula the FB pics from the hospital are just great. Did either of your boys have dark hair like Gianni does.
Well, I'm getting another Megamillions for tomorrow and a PB for Friday.
Heading up to watch 2012....
Evening, all!
I see we have a parent in the nest with Palmer,
No Jo, they both had light hair...
We contribute the blue eyes!
My Mom told me that when I was about 2 1/2 and first saw my little brother nursing, I said "Baby bite you pickles"
I'm going to go catch up on some cams...
Was checking out pics Ajay put on FB, some cute ones of Cohen with Gianni
Back in from church and it was terrific.
Thought I would check on some little eagles.
Palmer is hard to see because of the web. It looks like spidey caught a moth though.
It is still snowing in OR. I do hope those eagles get something out of this.
update from National Zoo...
April 21
Mei Xiang continues to keep us guessing. She has a great appetite and continues to strip and eat the culm, or inner stalk, of all the bamboo offered to her. She is wide awake and cooperative with her keepers, often watching through the window as they place her next meal.
Mei also continues to cooperate with ultrasound procedures, lying calmly on her back for the exam and then intensely playing with her “gelly” belly afterwards. The ultrasound gel makes her double over and rub her belly and ears vigorously, exhaling with pleasure. Rolling on her back reminds one staff member of a breakdancing back spin as she scent anoints her body with the gel.
In the wild, pandas nest in tree holes, caves, and crevices, as well as under mountain side ledges. Since cubs must be held by their mothers for proper thermoregulation and easy access to milk, rearing is a 24/7 affair. Little effort is put into building an elaborate nest. Over the past week Mei Xiang has been consistently shredding bamboo culm in the den, in addition to everywhere else in her enclosures. She has a variety of toys and even her “Kong baby”, a rubber cub-sized dog toy that she will frequently cradle at this stage of a pregnancy or pseudopregnancy. She has carried the toys (a ball and a spool) into the den but removes the “Kong baby” when the keepers move it into her den. Although her behavior is not providing consistent cues, her hormones are indicating a familiar pattern that indicates we are reaching the end of this pregnancy event
Hmmm, so we might know soon.
just have to keep our panda fingers crossed:)
lol She really doesn't like that
'Kong Baby' - I am thinking it is a
gorilla.
yes, her hormone levels are starting to decline, but that could possibly take another week or two...once they hit baseline, we will know in 24 hours. They are starting the 24/7 pregnancy watch this Friday at 4:00p.m., although those of us that do the 4 to 7 shift have been doing it the last couple of weeks.
yeah well, she is supposed to cradle it, when I was there tonight, before I left, she was trying to rip it apart....
ROFL...
You all see the Bear on useewildlife.com NOW
Hi everyone,
Been trying to catch up before moving into coma mode -- finished preparing the last exam of crime scene scenarios. Very brain-tiring.
Tomorrow is the final day of classes. Don't go back until exams on May 4.
Checked Palmer a couple of times today but missed any action -- mostly sleeping.
Keeping my fingers crossed for a Panda baby at NZ. Thanks for the update Mits.
Wishing everyone a good night and pleasant dreams. Turning my light off but will leave the night light on.
Nope, missed the bear
Hi Crunch
Blog ate my post!
Nope, missed the bear. Hi Crunch!
Where did our parent go? Must be up in the tree
Oh, Paula, that was cute about the pickles!!
Hey, Crunch, how ya' doing? Long time no blog!
Judie, glad you get a reprieve before the big final! You deserve a break.
Mits, thanks for great update. Sure keeping fingers crossed--and even saying some prayers--that this will be the real thing and not a pseudo. DC needs a new baby!!
BEagle, I feel so bad for those OR eagles...it will truly be a miracle if they have a successful hatch.
Lynne and Jo...glad you all are playing Lady Luck, too!
Hey Paula. (That sounds like a song). No you came up twice. It was a small Bear and was eating along time there. Well, time to float around the Web again. Have a Good one
Evening Everyone. Got caught up in Idol. Left TV for a moment & missed the person who's leaving!!!Thought it had another 1/2 hour to go.
Got some pics together early this AM before work. Will try to put them on tomorrow after eye Dr. appt., if I can see!! LOL
I've been marveling at Palmer's wings. Perhaps we'll have an 8 footer!
Paula Bear is back.
Thanks Hedgie.
I had to read back posts and how funny....pickles? Too funny. :D
Good night and remember, God is still in in the business of miracles!
BTW, yesterday at Park I saw Chippy the chipmunk that lives by the Visitor's Ctr! He had been gone for 3 weeks! I was getting worried, but we read up on them & main predators are weasels. We don't have them & he's too fast for hawk. If a she & was away for birthing, book said they have young in May. Go figure!
Thx Crunch! Saw the little bear---looked partly under the feeder.
Gotta check some cams, see news & hit the hay.
Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>) & good luck that we hit the lottery for Chrissy ☺
Loretta, it was Tim Urban who got the boot tonight.
Glad you have Chippy back! With everything else happening so early, guess it's possible that she could have birthed early!
2010 is pretty entertaining...we're taking a bagel break!
Lynn...another earthquake in eastern Tennessee this evening, a 2.6
Heading back to movie!
Missed the bear again! I'll have to keep checking...thanks Bob hadn't checked that site in awhile...heading to bed, see ya'll tomorrow!
Hugs to all ♥
Headed back the hallway
Good Night All
Prayers for all
((hugs)) ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I'm right behind you, Jo and Paula. Sleep tight, everyone! Check the sheetz for stinkbugs!
Prayers for all.
Love the baby stories. I don't think I have any. Well one does come to mind...When Karla did something that she wasn't supposed to, she would tell me Denise did it:) She was about 2 1/2.
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Just getting on to say good night. We are leaving in the morning. We are loaded and ready to go.
On the way home we will be going by the eagles nest just west of Burnet. We went there last year and really excited about going to see them.
We are taking the laptop, so MAY have a chance to check in. Plan to be home next Tuesday!
Nite all! Sweet dreams! (((Hugs)) for all!
Hi, Gang,
I just got home from school. Thank you SOOO much for prayers on my behalf--I got an A on tonight's exam!!
Thank GOD!
Still very blustery outside here, and had some rain sprinkles on the way to school. Maybe more later tonight!
Loretta, happy you have your chipmunk pal back! They are so cute!
Paula, I'm loving the new baby stories, too. Absolutely great!
Lynn, we HAVE been getting some unusual birds lately--those new doves are supposed to be extremely rare in our area, so I hope we keep on seeing them! Also got another new bird this afternoon--some kind of new sparrow, I think. Too fast for me to get a picture, so hope it's back tomorrow. It was really pretty--still looking at my bird book to see if I can identify it. MTBR!
BTW, I'm going to buy some Lotto tickets too--gotta have a ticket in order to win! Here's hoping and praying that one of us wins something!
Still praying for Chrissy and family. More (((HUGS)))!!!
Judie, I'm tired tonight, too--about to join you in 'coma mode'. Prayers have been said for everyone. Leaving the night light and porch light on, and the eye scanner security is enabled. Hope we all get a really restorative night's sleep, with sweet eaglet dreams. Will talk to you tomorrow. I must go to the EDD first thing (before 7am) tomorrow to see if I can reapply for UI benefits. Please pray about that for me! Here's hoping... Must go bug the school about my student loan, too. Busy day tomorrow! Hope to be home before lunchtime. Will talk to you then! Good night, and God bless! Love all of you guys! :o]
4/22/10 Happy Earth Day
Mother Nature needs US
GOOD MORNING...
Where is everyone? WAKE UP...IT'S NOT SATURDAY!! It's going to be a beautiful day...sunny and 71°.
If the rain didn't make our garden too muddy, going to plant something today. Don't know what...Capt. Gene has bags on the porch with unknown things inside. Potatoes, I do know for sure. I have spinach and lettuce to plant in my own little space. Ummm!
I just looked at the Volcano aftermath photos that LOLLY?? sent...makes me feel dirty and doomed. ARE YOU ALL LOST IN THE ASH CLOUDS? HELLO...
Megan, have you seen a hummer yet?
Palmer is all curled up in his bed, grooming himself...looking very content. Must have already had breakfast.
Hey, Margy...are you back from your mini-vacation? Hope you are rested and well.
I guess Lolly and Jack are on their way for their get-a-way weekend. Hope their weather is good and have lots of wonderful sightings in the air and on the ground:)
Oh! Is that Palmer in the nest?
Been two days, little chicklet has grown so !
Good Morning Eagle ♀'s and ♂'s
Thanks Jo
Great Earth Day Song on that blue link !
xo
ESP Wanda ! ☺
OK for you...I'm leaving now.
Going to fix breakfast and then put on my farmer's hat.
Have a great day:)
Thank God, someone is here. I was beginning to think I was in the twilight zone!
Good trip?
St Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of ecology and animals, and
St Isadore the patron saint of gardeners ☺
This is a good day to have them working with us
Yes, thanks Wanda
I saw two great blue herons, and one hawk, and a bunch of TV's, smaller birds,
and a ton of azaleas in every color imaginable
My brother-in-law sent me home with two tomato plants, one a Beef Steak, and the other, a Brandywine...
so maybe I will be able to give YOU some tomatoes this year, Wanda
Still waters and a big Osprey at Finland
have read the updates on Joyce, Glo's friend Jean, and about Dana's ailments...and the GG updates, praying that things will continue to improve for these, and for all with health and trouble needs here
Make that Two O's at Finland
Things sound exciting with Mei Xiang, Mits...
thanks for that update...very informative
And I read all about Palmer's rascally ways....
that's a great pic from the Baltimore Sun, Ceil..
thanks for the toss to the link at the BWO cam
can't wait to hear about the names for the eaglets at BWE
* Best wishes for a great day, everyone *
ttfn xo
Margy, Beef Steak is one of my favs...1 slice fills a whole sandwich:) Haven't heard of Brandywine----Gene just told me that Brandwine is an heirloom tomato that gets large fruit and low acid, grows well on a trellis, but must be staked.
Our tomatoes didn't do well at all last year, hoping for a better crop this year. Squash didn't do well as well as our peppers.
BBL
Good morning everyone. Today Dex and I are off to try to get pictures of three little eaglets at a nest about an hour away. Hopefully they are big enough and the leaves are not too big for me to catch a glimpse and maybe capture something clear enough to share with my camera. Nest is a good distance form where I can stand so need a little luck to happen :-)
Hope your day goes well.
Good morning. Fog has lifted...wow, was it ever dense!
Bye, Lolly! Have a fun and safe trip.
Margy, glad to see you home safe and sound. Hope you and your sisters shared some special moments.
Good luck with UI, Andy!
Wanda...did you really get that much rain yesterday? Barely even got sprinkles here!
had a lot of rain where I was at, nice spring rain though
Yes, Brandywine is an heirloom...will be interesting to see if I can make them grow here!
Glo, Good Luck sounds like a great adventure!
Palmer is scootching around the nest
Ha! thought I had a Phoebe here, but it is a Mockingbird!
Hi Hedgie!
Pope John Paul II named St Francis patron saint of ecology, in 1979
that's for your Did you Know from me
Judie
read where in DC a teacher from Woodrow Wilson HS was abducted/carjacked middle of the night be a teen and his uncle.
Turns out, the teen was one of her students! It was random, he did not realize it was her!
Needless to say, two arrests have been made, teacher is OK
that was a few days ago
wow, first time I have seen Palmer's orange talons
Sweeeet !
got to go
ttfn xo
Morning, all!
Do we have an egg at BWO?
I have been watching for awhile, Paula, nest has been MT, she just came in and laid down a little while ago, but if there is not one, should be very soon
Oh by the way,
The baby stories are great!
I was roaring...got the endorphins flowing ☺
Well, pollen sufferers....here's a bad one for you: the honeysuckle is already out!!! Full bloom. Doesn't it usually wait til June???
Achoo!
Thanks, Margy....didn't know that about St. Francis! So now he has two titles!
Thanks, Mits!
Good Morning....... Beautiful day to celebrate Earth Day and also to celebrate youngest son's b-day! He is a few years older then the 40th Earth Day.
New thread. Come on over.
I have two beautiful black with blue edging butterflies flitting around...they won't land so I can get a pic...:(
