Lynn - No, haven't been to BW in a few weeks. Yes, some good photo ops at Longwood in PA (near Chadd's Ford). Also went to Brandywine River Museum to see Wyeth stuff.
I am losing more and more of mine all the time, and not just on the computer
Best wishes for a good evening everyone, where the weather is poor especially...and that goes for Tuesday also !
work tried to call me in for tonight....encouraged them to please try someone else...think they succeeded.... more sickness...with the staff, NOT ME Detroit gal made it back though lucky us can get tagged for shifts later I'm sure with this weather coming in
things remain mysterious upstairs, though not noisy, will be watching in and out short visits...and thinking of what officer pals work what shifts...regarding, those "friendly visits" that Judie suggested...
the 3 yoa is upstairs today... not sure anyone up there works a job...more to be revealed did not have the ooomph to put together a welcome package yet
I am so disappointed that my brother had to re-schedule his travel plans..for him, and me
large family I'm a part of, but we seldom get to see each other - too geographically spread out, plus I work full time, can seldom get long stretches of days off and cannot afford to get to where many of them are
Hi, Margy. Maybe you shouldn't do a Welcome visit until things settle down. But then again, that would surely take you off the complaint list to the owner!!!
Good evening eagle peeps. Lynne hope you are doing better today. And hope all goes well for Luna. Sorry plans got changed Margy. I know that's disappointing.
I see Belle is sitting on he egglets. Good girl. Is there a hatch at NBG? She was looking so intently at the eggs like she was expecting to see an eaglet.
I've been out of pocket for a couple days at Canaan. Trying to get caught up. Great wkend w friends. Woohoooo
Margy, Hedgie or Wanda Do you ever use those Cofee House Inspirations International Delight single creamers in little tubs liquid. They don't have to be refrigated. Irish Creme, Whie Chocolate Mocha and Caramel Macchiato only 5 g sugar?????????
Dana answer to your question: sometimes, the Irish Creme creamers...only when I have had enough black coffee... don't much care for too much of that unless it is Irish Coffee ! like I had at the Rumsey Tavern during Open House Friday night dinner
Good Evening! So sorry about Luna. Hope the vcet has a plan.
If you can, please read the Feb 14 update on the Sydney nest if you haven't already. Seems Pa may have fishing line around his neck. If true could be trouble but seems like they are putting plans together. No eggs there yet.
Just watched the change at the nest. Those eggs sure are pretty!!
Good evening! Oh, what a great day! Thought of you and wished you were here! It has been bright sunshine and blue blue sky. A cool front came through so the wind has been out of the north. At one time I saw 71 but it is presently 62. Just beautiful and pleasant! Anyway, I worked most with the columbine cleaning out the old stuff and leaves. As I worked I listened to and watch the hawks. They were very active in the area, calling and circling.
Margy, good that you were able to NOT go in to work. Hope you don't get called again! As for the upstairs situation.....do you suspect something fishy, as in illegal??? If so, forget the welcome basket and just report to management!!!
still watching and waiting Lynn... need to try to take it all in for a few more days but yes, that's what I'm getting at... have seen it at other apartment buildings here
saw the house you mentioned on R9W near Payne's tree farm... though I speak of moving to the country I cannot manage anything like that right now, not by myself anyway, but thanks for the tip
Freezing rain now....accumulating. UGH! Have to worry now about Charlie getting Carolyn to work safely by MN.
Margy, doesn't do any good to call police.....just as with 4-wheelers and dirt bikes.....long gone before they ever show up (I'm convinced that the chronic lawbreakers have scanners, too!).
I saw the references on FB over the weekend about Pa Sydney....but Dave assured then that things appeared okay.....so now it's questionable?? Gotta go read up.
Snow mixing in with freezing rain now....frizzlenow.
Wow! I sent Faith in for the female cub! Charlie for the boy. Guess I didn't win anything :>( Wonder if they sell any toy bear clones for those we know, like Beanie Babies??
Another surprise today~~I saw A Tulip!!(leaves)Hope it survives.
Loretta. Should have book this wk from LOTL hopefully. They have been without water for days at the Center. Plumber tomorrow. Maybe that allowed for packing and posting time?? Anxiously awaiting!
Faith is good. Not crazy about Jason. To continue the Hope theme.....they could have used Faith and Charlity. Gee, too bad I didnt think of that in time to submit!
I do hope this snow stops before Belle get buried! We have, maybe 1/4 inch on our grill. Just had a skunk looking in our patio window, just sitting there looking at Gene:) Last night, a hugh racoon sat in the same spot and did the same thing. I think they are trying to tell the Capt. something:)
Jason is the young man that helps Dr Rogers - the one that goes to the den to 'fix' things. I like Faith for the little gal. I couldn't think of a name in the form of Charity for a male
Things here are very icy - turning white now and coming down hard!
Both cams show sleet/snow all around Belle. Going to be a long night but from past experience we know how well Belle can tent. She has her head tucked under her wing.
Update & Reminder ............. Snow emergency plan in effect for Washington County MD went into effect at 8 p.m., according to the Hagerstown barrack of the Maryland State Police.

Thx for clarification, Jo, on the Jason name. I thought maybe it referred to someone there.Is he the younger guy that had to snowmobile in -temps to the den?
I like Jason. Not very beary but he has done so much for the project, bless his young soul. Has gone out in the extreme weather to help keep the cam and mic running.
even I can see the snow at the nest. I think, maybe, glad tonight do not have sound, though we all know what it sounds like :( well, usn's around here anyway know what it sounds like by opening a door and listening
Safe travel prayers for everyone, including Charlie and Carolyn tonight Lynn
I'm headed to bed, in case I do get called in sometime or another
Prayers for our health and pets needs also God Bless Us, Every One xo ♥
As many of you already know, the chosen names are Faith and Jason. These names were the most popular names submitted and were the two selected by the anonymous Lily fan who won the honor of selecting the names. She sent the following description of the insightful thoughts of her seven year old grandson for her choices. "Faith is the faith that the learning and love of the bears will go on and on and since you can't name a boy Love, Jason is the next best thing because he shows love in all he does." Thank you again to Team Bear for organizing the selection process and to the 2213 Lily fans who submitted names.
Lily, Hope, Jason, and Faith Jason Sawyer, fittingly, came through again for us all today. He made two trips to the den shed to repair the microphone cable where it had been chewed through by a snowshoe hare. He hadn’t gone prepared for a broken cable the first time, so he repaired it the best he could with materials on hand. After a trip back for supplies he returned to make a ‘proper’ repair. The static from the broken cable is gone and we have sound again. Hopefully the repair will hold for the rest of the den season. And hopefully that wrascally wabbit moves on or chooses more nutritious and less destructive fare!
I couldn't stop watching either. I do wish we had sound...seems like we could share things at the nest in our hearts better with the Royal Pair and the Royal Eggs
I see the snow at the nest. Prayers for all of our outdoor critters tonight. (Maybe not stinkbugs!)
Kathryn brought Luna home tonight. She will have to make the journey back to Fairfax tomorrow to return her to the surgeon where they will determine what to do.
Susan was a little put out because she was all ready to keep Luna tonight and deliver her to the surgeon tomorrow at 7:30, the earliest they will accept her, but then she found out that, instead of having to be at work at 8:00 AM, she has to be there at 7:00 AM. They changed her schedule and didn't tell her until she called today.
Susan had already bought dog food in preparation for keeping Luna. But the co-worker she spoke with was adamant and not at all sympathetic. The woman is not Susan's superior, but Susan wasn't interested in a battle, so Kathryn drove up there and brought Luna home. We all know that you have to pick your battles.
Belle is tenting now, and getting snow-covered, but maybe I am the last to see this. I have been busy and then talked with Susan on the phone.
Nest weather- sorry:( Snow and freezing rain late this evening...then snow. Snow may be heavy at times. Snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches. Additional ice accumulation around a trace. Lows in the lower 20s. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent. It is supposed to snow overnight night and into the morning.
We figured out that the problem with the TH camera had to do with the internet server in Two Harbors and not with our equipment. As soon as they fix their problem the camera will be back on-line, it shouldn't more than a day. I watched the feed for a few minutes and they seem to have a second egg! The roads are still off-limits so I wont be able to work on the WE cam until Wednesday at the earliest. Bear with us...
It's sleeting here now & temp is about 33. Posted a snow pic on E_M album at 9:30. Wish I had gotten one around 10, before she shook. Been vooking stuff for next couple dinners. I didn't plan it! Fubby hit BJ's again! ☺
Gotta do my do even if there's no work in AM. Fat Chance we'll get off! So if I don't return tonight, Pleasant Feather Dreams & Prayers for Us and all the animals ;>)
What are they celebrating, Paula? Pres. Day? LOL! Poor Nugz.
Shirley, feeling so bad for Kat and Suzi AND Luna. What a mess....and sure hate to think that Kat will have to deal wit the weather to get back up the road in early morning.
Me, too, Jo......just hurts to watch her. So, goodnight dear friends. Hope Andy picks up the watch.....Lynne hasn't checked in---hope she is feeling better. Jim, SLEEP tonight!! Lori will be checking in a few hours. So....leaving everything in good hands. Prayers for ALL and peace.
Good Late Evening, Everyone! Hubby and I had a busy day today. We met Sis-in-law for breakfast at Watson's Drug Store and Soda Fountain in Orange, CA. Haven't been there in quite a while, but it hasn't changed. The food is good, and the drug store has been around forever (I think since about 1899)! It's like a 1950s diner with counter seating, and a real soda fountain. Very cool! After that, we went through some of the antique stores in downtown Orange. Surprise! I found a Circus Peanuts can from about 1950! Had to get it--my Dad used to be their Sales Manager! Haven't seen one of those cans in AGES. Spent a long time this morning with Emma parked on my lap. She was really soaking up the attention! She ran all over the house this afternoon with her toys, and also ran around with her leash in her mouth. It's really cute. We say she's taking herself for a walk! Tonight after dinner she sat in my lap soooo long she almost fell asleep there. Since she can't really find enough room to stretch out and be really comfortable, I put her in her crate so she would sleep well. Watched a program on (I think) the Nat Geo channel about "Blue Collar Dogs"--about service dogs. One of them in England can sniff out cancer cells! He is a Springer Spaniel like Emma, and takes his job very seriously. Amazing! Omigosh--I just checked our nest, and poor Belle is totally buried under snow! Hope she shakes it off soon! Boy, you guys really got some of that white stuff today! Sure reminds me of last year.
Shirley, Still praying for Luna and for all of you. Wow, what a mess with Kathryn having to go pick Luna up and take her back in the morning! Sure hope they can stabilize her and get the surgery done. Aaahh--Belle just shook off all that s__w and I think did an egg roll. She has settled back down again, and is "spreadeagled" over the eggs. What a good mama she is! A few minutes ago she was so covered that if you didn't know she was there, you would think the nest was empty!
I have been reading and now heading to bed. Sound came on at TH. I looked at Belle and could hardly see her then realized I needed to refresh. She has the snow off now, but man she was buried. Oh, I hate this!
That s__w must be coming down hard--Belle is starting to get covered up again. Poor girl! I don't know if I can stand to watch this! Sure hope that white stuff slows down soon. Oh, Megan, I bet you're having to get s__w off your greenhouse! YUCK!!! Hope you are able to get some sleep tonight! Oh, my! Poor Belle is beginning to look like an icicle! Sure hope the weather improves for her and Lib and the eggberts! This is nerve wracking!
Hi all....here for just a moment. Been VERY sick. But I had to drag my bum outa bed and check on our nest. Poor Belle...Hang in there! Haven't read back, and can't now, need to go lay back down. I hope everyone is well.
Oh, Lynne, Golly, I hope you get to feeling better REALLY SOON!!! Prayers being said for you! Maybe you'd better call the doctor in the morning! Doggone, you went to the Dr. and got meds right away--WHAT THE HECK! ((HUGS))! You should be getting better, NOT worse! Hope you can get some quality rest before morning! :o[
Just came back inside and we're still in some pretty heavy snow here and at the nest. Bulk of the Storm is past us though, maybe just a few more hours. I can see a break in the radar, if it holds, it may stop here sooner than that. We probably have about 5 inches now. Gonna catch a few winks...
Poor Belle has sort of tucked her head, I think. She is almost completely covered with s__w again, and still has her wings spread out, but it looks that way. I don't think I can watch any longer. Have said prayers for everyone, their pets, and for our Belle, Lib, and the eggberts. Checking to make sure the night light and porch light are still on. The eye-scanner security and Dana's thumbprint-scanner security are both enabled. Hope we can all manage to get some sleep and stay warm--especially our eagles! God bless, and goodnight! I'll talk to you tomorrow. Love all of you! :o] Oh--prayers for the injured Sydney eagle, too! Sure hope he will be OK!!
Our Gal is hanging in there! Snowing lightly here now. She must have done a shake off recently - looks like the tenting is gone and Belle's head is tucked under a wing. Now for me to tuck my head back under the covers since my eyes are half shut.
Oh Golly Bob, your flower photos are sooo beautiful! Gorgeous!
Wanda and Capt. Gene - a close-up raccoon, how cute, though I know they can be vicious. Skunks don't thrill me - too tinky as I tell the dogs!
SHIRLEY, if you need an animal eye specialist to see LUNA there's one in Leesburg. FloBear, my bulldog, has to see her at least twice a year. She's done miracles for his sight.
Hey Lori:) Glad you made it to work safely. it's all good here, school's are all closed, I'm laying back down for a while. Guy just plowed half my lane, then drove over the rest to turn around. Just awesome.

Must say, the picture for Phoebe is fantastic.
BWE chicklets eating, egg in view. Can't see any really long cracks in egg #3
Think they are getting one of the other meats for snacktime
Lynn - No, haven't been to BW in a few weeks. Yes, some good photo ops at Longwood in PA (near Chadd's Ford). Also went to Brandywine River Museum to see Wyeth stuff.
Photos from Longwoood here:
Longwood Gardens
Don't whether to say happy for Luna or sorry they didn't do the surgery. I'll just keep Luna in prayers and the family.
Oh, Longwood Gardens is beautiful. I love that whole area, it's gorgeous there.
Bob the Longwood Garden pictures are excellent. On #6 you even caught the "bug". If you use a petal as 12 o'clock I think it was on 10 o'clock petal.
Thx for new Monday Thread!!
HOORAY!!! WE'VE GOT RAM!!!!
and the 'puter turned on..!!
Gonna get some coffee~~~~
Thank you Steve - we really needed a new thread, going to have lots to talk about !!
Longwood Gardens....aaaah, let me see, it was in 1970 I was last there, absolutely stunning !
Going to check Bob's pictures very soon
Shirley
the most serious prayers being offered for Luna, and all of you, and the doctor/s
I knew that was not a fox at BWE - but you all probably know by now...I see things that are not there but look like - well, lots of things
Belle and Liberty are going to be tenting soon...whichever one happens to be on there....
:(
Enjoy all that new memory, Loretta
I am losing more and more of mine all the time, and not just on the computer
Best wishes for a good evening everyone, where the weather is poor especially...and that goes for Tuesday also !
work tried to call me in for tonight....encouraged them to please try someone else...think they succeeded....
more sickness...with the staff, NOT ME
Detroit gal made it back though
lucky us
can get tagged for shifts later I'm sure with this weather coming in
back later on...
Hedgie:
You could call law enforcement and have them check out all that noise...
we get calls for that kind of stuff, often....
things remain mysterious upstairs, though not noisy, will be watching in and out short visits...and thinking of what officer pals work what shifts...regarding, those "friendly visits" that Judie suggested...
the 3 yoa is upstairs today...
not sure anyone up there works a job...more to be revealed
did not have the ooomph to put together a welcome package yet
I am so disappointed that my brother had to re-schedule his travel plans..for him, and me
large family I'm a part of, but we seldom get to see each other - too geographically spread out, plus I work full time, can seldom get long stretches of days off and cannot afford to get to where many of them are
sorry, I better mean back later when I say it...
plus I forgot to add my x's and o's
xoxo
Hi, Margy. Maybe you shouldn't do a Welcome visit until things settle down. But then again, that would surely take you off the complaint list to the owner!!!
BTW, wonder if we can get new people memory!? I sure need some!
LOL, I'll take some fresh RAM!
So, we haven't seen Lib today?
Shirley, Hope Luna can be stabilized w/the drops if she can't have the surgery yet. I know they're expensive, but animals are kids too!
I got lost on the old thread!
Fire is rockin' in the woodstove.
Hurray for RAM!!!
Sweet Luna will have some prayers.
Stunning floral pictures Bob!
Lib is playing hooky.
It's getting crowded in the bear den.
Good evening eagle peeps. Lynne hope you are doing better today. And hope all goes well for Luna. Sorry plans got changed Margy. I know that's disappointing.
I see Belle is sitting on he egglets. Good girl. Is there a hatch at NBG? She was looking so intently at the eggs like she was expecting to see an eaglet.
I've been out of pocket for a couple days at Canaan. Trying to get caught up. Great wkend w friends. Woohoooo
Cubbie names revealed tonight. Oh boy!
Oh, Bob, thank you so much for sharing. Lovely, lovely!!!!
Lib MIA??? How long has he been gone? Belle doesn't look anxious.
Margy, Hedgie or Wanda Do you ever use those Cofee House Inspirations International Delight single creamers in little tubs liquid. They don't have to be refrigated. Irish Creme, Whie Chocolate Mocha and Caramel Macchiato only 5 g sugar?????????
Double egg roll.
just had an egg check
not sure if a parent switch or not at NCTC - someone can say?
live feed stopping a lot for me
goes with the day
No switch, just an egg roll.
thanks Megan
today is not such a good day for the dinosaur (the computer)
here
Lolly
I really liked the daffofil avatar...can't wait to see it on THIS THREAD ☺
Barred owl release near Winchester
There's our boy!
Well, Liberty is MIA no longer
live feed shows two
still cam shows Belle leaving
see what I mean ??
And a switch. Belle flew off for some dinner.
my last post did not make sense...
that's how it is FOR ME, not you all...
about the still cam being ahead of my live feed
...sometimes...
Dana, I do not drink coffee.....hate it!!! Do like the smell, tho'!
Dana
answer to your question:
sometimes, the Irish Creme creamers...only when I have had enough black coffee...
don't much care for too much of that unless it is
Irish Coffee ! like I had at the Rumsey Tavern during Open House Friday night dinner
jsut realized I got a capture at 9:15 this morning of both our eagle parents in the nest
got that, and the last switch on the E-M album
I see Lib all snugged in.
Susan, how was the skiing? Was the wind awful there, too??
Blackwater has two hatches!! So you DID miss a bit of excitement!
Margy, your 'puter is really giving you fits. So sorry. Bad enough when it happens at work. No techie at my house either.
Spring ski conditions. Yes on lots o wind, but beautiful. Hubby skiied one day. I fished instead. I don't really enjoy the "mashed potatoes" snow.
Belles back. Libs not ready to give it up. Haha
Lib just might stay on all night. He ain't budging.
Belle might have to peck a little to get her spot back.
Okay. He finally got the hint. She had a very imposing look.
So funny. She's staring him down. Finally. He's off and off and away.
No the waggle.
And a ghostly wiggle wiggle.
NOW. Now the waggle.
Hoping to steal a peek at BWE babies.
Paula
I thought Liberty had the little white feather spot...
can you help me out?
who is on the nest ?
I can say that's definitely Belle all tucked in on the nest.
Good Evening!
So sorry about Luna. Hope the vcet has a plan.
If you can, please read the Feb 14 update on the Sydney nest if you haven't already. Seems Pa may have fishing line around his neck. If true could be trouble but seems like they are putting plans together. No eggs there yet.
Just watched the change at the nest. Those eggs sure are pretty!!

As for the upstairs situation.....do you suspect something fishy, as in illegal??? If so, forget the welcome basket and just report to management!!!
that's nice Lolly,
was waiting on your daffodils on this thread, they are singing now
Hi NC Suzan...been missing you too.
Nest is going to be dark. No visible moon tonight, all clouds and probably snow later
Suzan, just read the Sidney update and will be watching for additional info posted.
Egg roll.
still watching and waiting Lynn...
need to try to take it all in for a few more days
but yes, that's what I'm getting at...
have seen it at other apartment buildings here
saw the house you mentioned on R9W near Payne's tree farm...
though I speak of moving to the country I cannot manage anything like that right now, not by myself anyway, but thanks for the tip
Glad you like the daffodils, Margy. Put them on my Hawkwood blog as well. Just for the Momsters!
Magpie, hi! I do a lot of tilking when there is no moon!
Thanks susan. Like many here, i watch other nests too and I felt if maybe more eyes were on Pa maybe we could see something.
S. Sorry.
Oh, poor Luna! Do hope she gets her eyesight back today and that she can have surgery.
Going to put some cookies in to bake.
BBIALW
sure hoping everything will be okay at the Sydney with the Male Eagle...
that was my deleted comment a few posts back by the way, it was irrelevant
ttfn
clean wet sheets need to be switched to dryer
NCSuzan I sure hope the eagle is going to be ok.
You all remember the chick in CT that had the plastic pop thing around its neck. They went up and cut it away.
What? What sydney eagle? What poop thing about it's neck.
Where would I get the report?
I mean "pop" thing. Sorry.
BEagle it was in Connecticut osprey nest one year.
I think you must be talking about the Sidney BC male. I think there's something there about the dad's neck looking gashed.
Going to go read up.
okay. That's strange though. The "central" forum is talking about the male eagle having problems.
The Sidney male eagle has a gash across his throat. Mr. Hancock says that it must be superficial because there is no food flowing from a crop wound.
This copy and paste may get you to Dave Hancock's about the eagle.
http://www.hancockwildlife.org/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=151899
I think he ran into an electric fence and burned his feathers.
Freezing rain now....accumulating. UGH!
Have to worry now about Charlie getting Carolyn to work safely by MN.
Margy, doesn't do any good to call police.....just as with 4-wheelers and dirt bikes.....long gone before they ever show up (I'm convinced that the chronic lawbreakers have scanners, too!).
Judie, glad your PT went well.
Know you are relieved to have the exam finished. When will the wannabe's take it?
Beagle, on the update they think there is fishing line around his neck.
Oh, Susan. I don't think we are talking about the same eagle.
There are pictures of the Sidney eagle on the Windows Forum.
Lynn. The chronic lawbreakers just don't care. It's a way of life for them unfortunately.
Hope Sidney male injury is superficial. That nest view is way off. Will they adjust?
It's been sleeting/freezing rain here for about an hour.
Saw a red tail take a big black bird today and the other black birds went after the hawk.
Howdy, all.
I Stopped by Wally world on the way home...came out to sleet and rain, and then snow halfway home.
I don't see any snow at the nest yet.
Nope, we are in a patch of freezing precip right now, here and at the nest. No snow yet. Mostly sleet
They said that Pa at Sidney doesn't have fishing line around his neck, they think it could be an injury from a fight with another eagle.
I think he ran into some sore of wire or line, myself.
Faith and Jason are the names for the cubbies. Very nice!!
I saw the references on FB over the weekend about Pa Sydney....but Dave assured then that things appeared okay.....so now it's questionable?? Gotta go read up.
Snow mixing in with freezing rain now....frizzlenow.
Yep, starting to mix here too. Snow and sleet.
Wow! I sent Faith in for the female cub! Charlie for the boy. Guess I didn't win anything :>(
Wonder if they sell any toy bear clones for those we know, like Beanie Babies??
Another surprise today~~I saw A Tulip!!(leaves)Hope it survives.
sUSAn, were you able to order/get an LOL blog osprey book? I wrote SWT & got a response, but very expensive.
I can see snow or sleet around Belle now
Yep, that's the same info that was on FB a couple of days ago.
Pure snow now---and coming down hard.
Loretta. Should have book this wk from LOTL hopefully. They have been without water for days at the Center. Plumber tomorrow. Maybe that allowed for packing and posting time?? Anxiously awaiting!
So glad to bear Sidney male is okay.
And most definitely snow around dear Belle.
Faith is good. Not crazy about Jason. To continue the Hope theme.....they could have used Faith and Charlity. Gee, too bad I didnt think of that in time to submit!
I do hope this snow stops before Belle get buried! We have, maybe 1/4 inch on our grill. Just had a skunk looking in our patio window, just sitting there looking at Gene:) Last night, a hugh racoon sat in the same spot and did the same thing. I think they are trying to tell the Capt. something:)
Jason's OK, but what does it have to do with those bears??
GG was in very good spirits today. Pain was under control and appetite very good. She ate everything on her plate.
Watching House...
Jason is the young man that helps Dr Rogers - the one that goes to the den to 'fix' things. I like Faith for the little gal. I couldn't think of a name in the form of Charity for a male
Things here are very icy - turning white now and coming down hard!
Wanda, that's funny. Wonder what Gene did to get those animal stares??!
Just looked at nest. Why are those stupid flakes aroud Belle when she's the warmest part of the nest????
Both cams show sleet/snow all around Belle. Going to be a long night but
from past experience we know how well Belle can tent. She has her head tucked under her wing.
Prayers for Luna's ability to see being restored.
About time for a stretch and an egg roll. I've been spoiled to not seeing Belle covered n snow.
Update & Reminder .............
Snow emergency plan in effect

Thx for clarification, Jo, on the Jason name. I thought maybe it referred to someone there.Is he the younger guy that had to snowmobile in -temps to the den?
I like Jason. Not very beary but he has done so much for the project, bless his young soul. Has gone out in the extreme weather to help keep the cam and mic running.
This episode of House is stoooopid!
Guess we are going to miss TH have her second egg. I love that cam and hope they get it back up really soon.
even I can see the snow at the nest.
I think, maybe, glad tonight do not have sound, though we all know what it sounds like :(
well, usn's around here anyway know what it sounds like by opening a door and listening
Safe travel prayers for everyone, including Charlie and Carolyn tonight Lynn
I'm headed to bed, in case I do get called in sometime or another
Prayers for our health and pets needs also
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ♥
and prayers for Belle and Liberty and the egglets...and all wildlife in difficult weather
Heading for tub....BBL.
Time to shake it off Belle!!
Margy, I hope that you can get a whole-night-through sleep!!
Oh NO!
Belle looks tucked and contented. No problem!
Heading off to TV land. Beary sweet eagle dreams to all.
Belle is shaking off.
Up for a shake off and egg roll
Wow she is really spread out.
Look at those spread wings..bless her heart

Thank you again to Team Bear for organizing the selection process and to the 2213 Lily fans who submitted names.
Lily, Hope, Jason, and Faith
Jason Sawyer, fittingly, came through again for us all today. He made two trips to the den shed to repair the microphone cable where it had been chewed through by a snowshoe hare. He hadn’t gone prepared for a broken cable the first time, so he repaired it the best he could with materials on hand. After a trip back for supplies he returned to make a ‘proper’ repair. The static from the broken cable is gone and we have sound again. Hopefully the repair will hold for the rest of the den season. And hopefully that wrascally wabbit moves on or chooses more nutritious and less destructive fare!
I couldn't stop watching either.
I do wish we had sound...seems like we could share things at the nest in our hearts better with the Royal Pair and the Royal Eggs
I have to go to bed now
(( hugs, friends ♥ ))
that's great Paula... Thank You for posting that...
and to the Bears and all the Bear Team
I think Faith was a shoe in for baby girl bear!
Oh, and speaking of baby girls, Gianni is a walkin fool according to her Mamma's post on FB tonight.
Hi,
I see the snow at the nest. Prayers for all of our outdoor critters tonight. (Maybe not stinkbugs!)
Kathryn brought Luna home tonight. She will have to make the journey back to Fairfax tomorrow to return her to the surgeon where they will determine what to do.
Susan was a little put out because she was all ready to keep Luna tonight and deliver her to the surgeon tomorrow at 7:30, the earliest they will accept her, but then she found out that, instead of having to be at work at 8:00 AM, she has to be there at 7:00 AM. They changed her schedule and didn't tell her until she called today.
Susan had already bought dog food in preparation for keeping Luna. But the co-worker she spoke with was adamant and not at all sympathetic. The woman is not Susan's superior, but Susan wasn't interested in a battle, so Kathryn drove up there and brought Luna home. We all know that you have to pick your battles.
Belle is tenting now, and getting snow-covered, but maybe I am the last to see this. I have been busy and then talked with Susan on the phone.
Thx for sharing that, Paula. Great story.
Belle is really tenting~~too bad the adults aren't taking turns!
They need a big umbrella!
Our poor sweet Lady Belle. She looks like a polar bear!
Sounds like we might have snow on the ground in the morning, too. But they aren't predicting anything like you West Virginia people might get.
I am going to have to say good night and go upstairs. Really tired and sleepy tonight.
I remember last year when all you could see was her head from the neck up.
This will be a piece of cake for her.
When is this snow supposed to stop!
?
CUT THAT OUT....snow!
As far as I could tell earlier, we have no snow predicted for my county as yet.
I better check the weather again.
I do want to let you know that I love the peonies and daffodils :)
Nest weather- sorry:(
Snow and freezing rain late this evening...then snow. Snow may be heavy at times. Snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches. Additional ice accumulation around a trace. Lows in the lower 20s. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent. It is supposed to snow overnight night and into the morning.
I miss the sunshine.
Mai enjoyed her romp in the precip. Ate snow/ice----even lifted her face into the air and caught some in her mouth. Funny!
Do I need to bring back my sunshine avatar???????
Have been watching TV, watching Castle now.
Oh, poor Belle!
From FB
The Two Harbors internet feed has been repaired and the Two Harbors nest is back online. Thanks Dewitt.
Thanks Paula. Must be raining at TH. 82 is spread all over the nest.
From Steffani at IWS forum
We figured out that the problem with the TH camera had to do with the internet server in Two Harbors and not with our equipment. As soon as they fix their problem the camera will be back on-line, it shouldn't more than a day. I watched the feed for a few minutes and they seem to have a second egg!
The roads are still off-limits so I wont be able to work on the WE cam until Wednesday at the earliest.
Bear with us...
This was posted before the nest came back online.
I don't see any rain, tho. she might be warm. No sound.
So, sometime today the 2nd egg was laid. Well, dern! Wanted to watch that again.
Your right! No sound. ????
I find it hard to believe it is that warm.
It's not raining, I checked their radar
Shake off!
Nice big dry area under Belle
It's around 45° there, not sure why she's tenting.
Shake-off!
Well, it's 82 at TH, she just got up, circled around and wiggled back down. Couldn't see the eggs. In normal incubating position now.
Temp has dropped here to 22°.
Snow is piling right back up on Belle.
Just saw a spidey at TH
Someone behind me just let off some fireworks dog is on my lap...whew he just got down
It's coming down really hard right now. Still a bit of a mix, mostly snow, but you can occasionally hear the ice mixed in. It's a heavy snow:(
It's sleeting here now & temp is about 33. Posted a snow pic on E_M album at 9:30. Wish I had gotten one around 10, before she shook.
Been vooking stuff for next couple dinners. I didn't plan it! Fubby hit BJ's again! ☺
Gotta do my do even if there's no work in AM. Fat Chance we'll get off! So if I don't return tonight,
Pleasant Feather Dreams & Prayers for Us and all the animals ;>)
Another shake off
Belle is shaking off again, big wing spread.
What are they celebrating, Paula? Pres. Day? LOL! Poor Nugz.
Shirley, feeling so bad for Kat and Suzi AND Luna. What a mess....and sure hate to think that Kat will have to deal wit the weather to get back up the road in early morning.
Feeling so sorry for Belle......Lib should come tent her!
Lynn - maybe the snow?
Shirley, hope they can do Luna's surgery tomorrow.
That would be nice if Lib would come make a tent over Belle.
Just finished watching the news.. I
Did watch Harry's Law -
Everything is white outside and it is all snow (earlier it was a mix of snow & sleet)
Shirley I hope and pray everything goes well for Luna. Sorry Suzie has to go in early to work.
You all had a great idea about Lib 'spreading eagle' over Belle.
BEagle - whoa! We must think alike...
Oh yes, forgot to tell you that I had a chocolate Frosty from Wendy's about 3 days ago.
Was waiting for another shake off, but getting too tired. She's pretty covered at the moment.
going to hit the hay, catch ya'll tomorrow
Hugs to all ♥
Belle has been shaking off in about 15 min intervals.......
BWE doesn't look as they need to tent!
Night Paula - I won't be far behind.
I sure hope you enjoyed that Frosty MemaJo! Sure sounds good.
Last outing of the night for Mai. Everything came out fine, and she had a few good romps around the yard.
We've got about 3" already.
Oh, poor Belle....shake off, mama bird.
I sure hope Margy gets to sleep through the night without a call from work.
I'm going to bed - I get too upset looking at our nest. I know Belle
knows when to shake off but that doesn't help my nerves while watching.
And she did! Egg roll.
Good night all
Prayers for many many reasons....
Hugs for all ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Belle just had her shake-off
I was sleeping...
got up
left the cam up, saw the shake-off
and now her tail is where her head was
Lynn - Carolyn make it to work ok?
Whoo Hoo! Thanks Lynn.. now I can sleep knowing that she shook off!
I also saw the 2 eggs!
OK Margy is correct: My Live Feed is
behind the actions on the Still Cam...
At least it was on that shake off.
I wish she had a pillow for her head
She can't tuck it under her wing because her wings are spread out tenting and protecting her chicklets to be.
I am going - I am gone..... ♥
Me, too, Jo......just hurts to watch her.
So, goodnight dear friends. Hope Andy picks up the watch.....Lynne hasn't checked in---hope she is feeling better. Jim, SLEEP tonight!!
Lori will be checking in a few hours.
So....leaving everything in good hands.
Prayers for ALL and peace.
Oops-----yes, Carolyn made it safely. Charlie took her in.
Margy....go back to bed!!!!
Am sorry, knowing Megan that you will have snow removal going on for the greenhouse, once again...
hope that it does not get too bad
Ok Lynn, Carolyn is ok, good
back to bed for me now
xo
Sandman is making his rounds again. I'm yawning my head off, so going to bed.
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS FOR ALL
Aw, she's hanging in there, it's all she can do. It is snowing very hard now, gonna be a rough few more hours for Belle. Check again i a while.
Good Late Evening, Everyone!
Hubby and I had a busy day today. We met Sis-in-law for breakfast at Watson's Drug Store and Soda Fountain in Orange, CA. Haven't been there in quite a while, but it hasn't changed. The food is good, and the drug store has been around forever (I think since about 1899)! It's like a 1950s diner with counter seating, and a real soda fountain. Very cool! After that, we went through some of the antique stores in downtown Orange. Surprise! I found a Circus Peanuts can from about 1950! Had to get it--my Dad used to be their Sales Manager! Haven't seen one of those cans in AGES.
Spent a long time this morning with Emma parked on my lap. She was really soaking up the attention! She ran all over the house this afternoon with her toys, and also ran around with her leash in her mouth. It's really cute. We say she's taking herself for a walk! Tonight after dinner she sat in my lap soooo long she almost fell asleep there. Since she can't really find enough room to stretch out and be really comfortable, I put her in her crate so she would sleep well. Watched a program on (I think) the Nat Geo channel about "Blue Collar Dogs"--about service dogs. One of them in England can sniff out cancer cells! He is a Springer Spaniel like Emma, and takes his job very seriously. Amazing!
Omigosh--I just checked our nest, and poor Belle is totally buried under snow! Hope she shakes it off soon! Boy, you guys really got some of that white stuff today! Sure reminds me of last year.
Hi, Megan,
How long has Belle been staying all covered up--before she decides to shake it off?
Belle just got up and shook off. We are in a heavy batch of snow right now, it has been a while sine she got up.
Shirley,
Still praying for Luna and for all of you. Wow, what a mess with Kathryn having to go pick Luna up and take her back in the morning! Sure hope they can stabilize her and get the surgery done.
Aaahh--Belle just shook off all that s__w and I think did an egg roll. She has settled back down again, and is "spreadeagled" over the eggs. What a good mama she is! A few minutes ago she was so covered that if you didn't know she was there, you would think the nest was empty!
I have been reading and now heading to bed. Sound came on at TH. I looked at Belle and could hardly see her then realized I needed to refresh. She has the snow off now, but man she was buried. Oh, I hate this!
Nite all! Prayers for Belle and her egglets!
(((Hugs)))
That s__w must be coming down hard--Belle is starting to get covered up again. Poor girl! I don't know if I can stand to watch this! Sure hope that white stuff slows down soon.
Oh, Megan, I bet you're having to get s__w off your greenhouse! YUCK!!! Hope you are able to get some sleep tonight!
Oh, my! Poor Belle is beginning to look like an icicle! Sure hope the weather improves for her and Lib and the eggberts! This is nerve wracking!
Hi all....here for just a moment. Been VERY sick. But I had to drag my bum outa bed and check on our nest. Poor Belle...Hang in there! Haven't read back, and can't now, need to go lay back down. I hope everyone is well.
Oh, Lynne,
Golly, I hope you get to feeling better REALLY SOON!!! Prayers being said for you! Maybe you'd better call the doctor in the morning! Doggone, you went to the Dr. and got meds right away--WHAT THE HECK! ((HUGS))!
You should be getting better, NOT worse! Hope you can get some quality rest before morning! :o[
Just came back inside and we're still in some pretty heavy snow here and at the nest. Bulk of the Storm is past us though, maybe just a few more hours. I can see a break in the radar, if it holds, it may stop here sooner than that. We probably have about 5 inches now. Gonna catch a few winks...
Poor Belle has sort of tucked her head, I think. She is almost completely covered with s__w again, and still has her wings spread out, but it looks that way. I don't think I can watch any longer.
Have said prayers for everyone, their pets, and for our Belle, Lib, and the eggberts. Checking to make sure the night light and porch light are still on. The eye-scanner security and Dana's thumbprint-scanner security are both enabled. Hope we can all manage to get some sleep and stay warm--especially our eagles! God bless, and goodnight! I'll talk to you tomorrow. Love all of you! :o]
Oh--prayers for the injured Sydney eagle, too! Sure hope he will be OK!!
Our Gal is hanging in there! Snowing lightly here now. She must have done a shake off recently - looks like the tenting is gone and Belle's head is tucked under a wing.
Now for me to tuck my head back under the covers since my eyes are half shut.
It's not snowing here anymore. Belle is snoozing.
Oh my poor Belle, keeping her eggs warm in the middle of a big pile of snow! Poor honey.
Good morning Megan! I hope your flowers are okay.
Oh Golly Bob, your flower photos are sooo beautiful! Gorgeous!
Wanda and Capt. Gene - a close-up raccoon, how cute, though I know they can be vicious. Skunks don't thrill me - too tinky as I tell the dogs!
SHIRLEY,
if you need an animal eye specialist to see LUNA there's one in Leesburg.
FloBear, my bulldog, has to see her at least twice a year. She's done miracles for his sight.
Hey Lori:)
Glad you made it to work safely.
it's all good here, school's are all closed, I'm laying back down for a while. Guy just plowed half my lane, then drove over the rest to turn around. Just awesome.
