Had a B-Day party for my 13 yr old neice, Megan. That's a long, crazy day! Went into crisis mode at last minute since the party was supposed to be for 4 girls, and they all had RSVP'ed, then one got sick and other two didn't show up! Kids can be so mean. But, the house was decorated over the top, tons of food and 13 yr old fun with beauty/makeover and nail stuff! Turned out great and Megan was happy. Tears were gone when she walked in the door.
I hope everyone has power this morning. There were a lot of outages yesterday.
I had one for two hours, about two hours before the party was to start. That was panic. Thought the vacuum cleaner died then looked around and saw nothing had power. At least I need to buy a new vacuum! :)
Good morning everyone. I am glad to read the wind has died down in your area too. Goodness. Cute little critter at Blackwater. Soon they will be popping out all over :-)
Good morning, gang! Wind died down substantially overnight, but still breezy and chilly.
Margy, got the word on how busy you all were last night. Wowsers! Girl power reigned, tho'!! Bet Andy won't be jealous at all!
Lori, what a sad thing for your niece. Kids are not only mean. They are also just downright rude. So good that you could help make it a special teen year celebration for her!!
Lori, is Kate the gal who came with you to NCTC? How did she fracture her vertebrae? Poor gal! Prayers for pain relief and that surgery won't be necessary. Tell her Hi from the Momsters!
Good Morning Everyone! The BWEaglet is adorable as will ours be - love those dark eyes. I think that our nest's feeding position is not going to allow us to see much unless Belle & Lib stand off to the side. I need to go over to the last thread and see what went on this morning.
Lori take good loving care of Kate - Prayers for her recovery!
Good Morning to all peeps in eagle land this not a wind gust day. (:
Lori I don't know Kate but I do know how to pray ... prayers for her pain and that she won't need surgery.
Yes kids can be rude to each other. I remember some of those gal friend times with my gal. It saddens me they can be a friend one time then next day not then another day yes. Lori sounds like she had a GREAT time though all you did.
Shirley I certainly don't want your doggies to go flying. When I read that about the big ears which I know they have. I love that part about them. I just started laughing.
Thanks BEagle seen the htt on the other thread ty.
Margy sorry you are still having upstairs racket.
Prayers for Thelma's nephew and family continue.
I missed something somewhere about "the test question"??
Hunter and I will stay home this afternoon while Kathryn goes to the movies with her new friends.
Her sitting plan did not work out. So I won't be joining them. That is fine. I have plenty to do here. I remember how great it was to have my support group when I went through the divorce experience.
Kathryn has the most amazing collection of Tupperware. She got tired of messing with my collection of cheap stuff, so she has replaced it with her much nicer pieces. Some of mine was as old as Kathryn.
Good that Kat has made some new friends, Shirley. I don't know if they even HAD divorce support groups 19 yrs. ago! Not that I needed one.....I had great friends at work who helped where and when I needed it. Helped SO much that I was financially independent enough with my job that I didn't have to mess with going for anything. And the child support then was a total LAUGH. $80 a mo. for a 17 y.o.! Big, hairy deal as we used to say when I was young. That only lasted for 8 mos.---and it was always late!
I want to thank everyone for their prayers!! He is home now. My brother reports he is doing well. I know they both have to be exhausted. Zach will do after care in Charleston at CMAC.
He lives in Grandview, WV. He is 19 years old. He posted things on his facebook that show he wants to live. We are blessed that he survived.
Carolyn thinks there's a 2ndd hatch at BWE.......she nor Jenn saw shell from 1st one for last hour or two.....and now there is one.....stand up Lady B!
I saw Lib just roll and wiggle. There's a big roll of fluff on the nest. I don't know if it's the same one as previous but it is a nice addition to the scene.
Two egg and one chick at BWE. They are in the open.
Happy, Noisy Daytona 500 Sunday!! T-Bird, so glad Zach is home & Lori, hope Kate improves steadily. Prayers for both and all in need.
Elec finally came on for good yesterday PM, so got to work on pics from Chelsea farmhouse office & post them, (NO-no mud tracks!!) Did my bird count & see that you can count for more than 15 min. & for other days during count time if you wish. I might see what others I can get. You can enter5 photos, too, but don't know if it's only for count days. Will have to check the website. I could send them tons of grackle pics! LOL BTW, for about 2 yrs. now I have not seen many house or purple finches!They were as plentiful as sparrows before???
afternoon all! It's been a "HONEY DO" day, trying to get some projects done. Not the least of which is caulking up many holes and gaps in here (and there are SO many in this old house) in the hopes that at least SOME of the stinkbugs will exit to the outside. We'll be heading to Tracey's in a bit for dinner.
Lori, I don't know who Kate is but WOW, sounds so painful and I'm glad you are taking good care of her. Prayers that she can get some relief, surgical or otherwise. And those rotten kids not showing up to Megan's party...how awful. Glad you were able to give her a good party anyway!
Loretta, I've never seen Purple Finches here, but we sure used to have a LOT more House Finches than what we do this year. We had another huge flock of Grackles this AM, and they had were slumming with a bunch of Red Winged Blackbirds! Got some pics to post later.
Lynne - did you see Dericks comment to Lynn about a spray to keep stink bugs out of the house?Fly spray... the stuff we use on horses works like a charm to keep these little buggers away. Any brand! Spray around your exterior door and window frames, poof - they'll stay away. Now for the ones that are already in the house..Swimming lessons..I have a jar with a drop of dish detergent in it sitting on the counter with a sign on the jar that says "FREE Swimming Lesson". It kills em' but you do have to pick them up to escort them to the 'pool' LOL
As I have said - This year you may need a bucket!!
Oh, I do hope we do not get more stink bugs than we have already been getting. So far, not as many as you in WV have gotten. Kathryn has gotten most of them in her room, and she has been flushing them.
Shirley that can add up to a lot of flushing - does it affect your water bill? If so get the bowl of water with some dish washing liquid - plop them in it and Instant death.
(Shirley did I use 'affect' correctly) lol I'm a slow learner
I didn't take any bird count pics--but did have a couple r-winged blackbirds in w/the hoard! Some that we usually see didn't show, so maybe I will count more times.
Love the NO MORE SB ideas! Fly spray for horses! Great idea. Of course, guess you have to reapply if rain hits your frames. Guess we're not helping~~~we throw them outside!
Hey Thelma. Positive news and will continue to send wishes for successful aftercare.
Lori, hope Kate is better soon.
Shirley, hope you are having a nice afternoon.
Went to a really upscale place called Bob Evans. Had a small elegant breakfast. The real pleasure was to be outside and to visit with my friend. From very different backgrounds but much in common.
Lynn, hope the meeting is a productive one.
Okay, need to check a nest or two. Did catch a wrestling match between Ted and Lucky. Fascinating. Went on for quite a long time.
Kate & I both thank you for the prayers and nice comments - MRI is tomorrow. It's just one of the many things I love about this blog - the fabulously kind people!
Got a little peak of that little BWE baby a few min. ago. Big instant smile! You gotta love it.
Lolly, Armadillos? Wholly Moley!
Jo - Shhhh - you said taxes. Makes my stomach flip. There's gotta be a better way, eh?
Andy, I bet my Mom has as much Tupperware as Kathryn. I don't remember a moment of my life without it! :) Guess that's why it's still around.
Oh Jo - thanks for reposting Derick's Stink Bug comments - I never wanna miss a good one and I'll try the fly spray got horses, too. I plan to have a whole battery of backup plans this spring in case one stops working!
It's pretty nice outside, went out and scooped the yard, threw the ball for Nugz, and cut down some dead stuff from the front yard...got a whole yard bag full.
Didn't realize I was out of yard bags, otherwise I'd do some more in the back.
Hey Paula, thanks for the narration of where Belle and Lib were each standing when they were both in the nest. That really helps my practicing of who is who.
tonight- Cloudy with a slight chance of sleet. A chance of rain... mainly after midnight. Lows in the mid 30s. South winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation 50 percent.
Good grief, Megan---NOT sleet! I thought it was almost spring part of this week. Jo will be happy to know that I saw jonquil leaves a few inches up at the farmhouse office Friday.Will take a pic as soon as some open! Daughter just called & she had a close encounter!They went to some friends' house who weren't home from church yet. She went in back yard where they have mini-pins in an enclosure. There are also some cats around. She sat on ground & had hand thru fence, petting dogs. She saw something black out of the corner of her eye. It was a skunk 2ft. from her!!She hauled & so did Jimmy! It kept roaming & later went back towards trees & they smelled it had sprayed!!!Good, not on them!
Hi again. What have I missed? Need to play catch-up. Carolyn admitted she was wrong, but I didn't have time to log back on puter and post her apology!!
Good meeting. GOt home in time to see the end of the race { :( }. Had to give Miss Mai a foot bath----she tried to dig to China when she was out. And got my steak grilled before it got dark!
Oh, forgot to mention that a 20 year old driver, Trevor Bayne won the race!!His 2nd race & 1st Nascar one!!He drives for the Wood Bros. who have been in race business for a long time, but hadn't won in 10 years!Trevor said they prayed to God before the race & he wants to do some missionary work!He was not signed w/a team full time, but bet he will be now. Sounds like the kind of young man Joe Gibbs should hire.
Interesting story about Thunder. Learn something new every day, I guess!
Lori, didn't know (or remember!!) that you had horses. Thanks, Jo, for posting Derick's info about SB's. I'll head for Tractor Supply sometime this week and get horse flyspray! Shirley....they are talking "biblical proportion" SB invasioon this year! Think I posted a link to the story yesterday evening.
bummer my older brother Fred and his wife are planning to drive South from CT were due to be here Monday night...now they have to adjust their plans because of the weather forecast ! Sigh...have not seen him in over four years :( well, maybe things will change
I have some cool hats but they don't suit me too well either
BEagle I love hats but like you they flatten by hair. They make my hair so flat and makes it look so thin. So I don't wear them but certainly would love too.
A great article about Thunder the eagle - thanks Paula.
Lots of things in there I didn't know either - drop a flying fish from the air and if she dives and catches it then she accepts him as a mate. Interesting...and cute! Guess most of us humans would be single if we had to do that!
Loretta, that too colose for comfort skunk smell is awful. One of my dogs has been sprayed twice! Awful. It smells like industrial garlic and something that just permeates your nasal membranes and doesn't go away for nearly a week! She doesn't go out to tinkle at night now if she's not on leash.

Thanks for the new thread this gorgeous, less windy Sunday morning!
I missed you all yesterday!
Had a B-Day party for my 13 yr old neice, Megan. That's a long, crazy day!
Went into crisis mode at last minute since the party was supposed to be for 4 girls, and they all had RSVP'ed, then one got sick and other two didn't show up! Kids can be so mean. But, the house was decorated over the top, tons of food and 13 yr old fun with beauty/makeover and nail stuff! Turned out great and Megan was happy. Tears were gone when she walked in the door.
Morning, all!
thank goodness that wind has stopped!
Eagle is snoozing!
Sounds like a great party for a 13 y.o. Lori.
Hey Lori did you hear we have an eaglet at Blackwater??
It was fun, but a lot of work, Paula.
I hope everyone has power this morning. There were a lot of outages yesterday.
I had one for two hours, about two hours before the party was to start. That was panic. Thought the vacuum cleaner died then looked around and saw nothing had power. At least I need to buy a new vacuum! :)
I haven't checked in a BW yet, but I read about the new eaglet. Isn't is just the best time of year? If that doesn't make you smile nothing will. ☺
Paula, Have you had a glimpse of the baby yet? When are they expecting the next one?
I had power all day, at work and at home.
Those fires along I95 were something! Haven't seen the news yet this morning, hope they have been put out.
Haven't seen it yet...Lynn has a pic on her blog and they have a couple online, and on FB too.. You can see the egg right near Mom's head.
Look NoW!!
Next hatching expected Monday or Tuesday
OM Stars! How adorable is that little BW eaglet. I just saw the pics. Bring 'em on!!!
Paula, that pic of you in the eagle nest on your FB page is so great! I love it!
OH, sorry, Shoulda said as least I DON'T need to buy new vacuum!
Parent stretched and settled back down now at BWE...might be Dad on the nest.
They had that nest at the Open House at NCTC, Lori!
both at BWE
both again at BWE
Good morning everyone. I am glad to read the wind has died down in your area too. Goodness. Cute little critter at Blackwater. Soon they will be popping out all over :-)
chick in view at BWE
Dang, I missed the live shot at BW.
Taking care of Kate who has 2 fractured vertebra in low back - she's in much pain, but situated now.
Good morning Glo?
Switch at BWE...think that's Dad now, must have been Mom earlier.
Oh, poor Kate. Is there anything they can do for her?
She gets an MRI on Tuesday to find out if she needs surgery. I pray not, but the pain is fierce.
rolling the eggs and wiggle wiggle. All is well at the nest.
Good morning, gang!
Wind died down substantially overnight, but still breezy and chilly.
Margy, got the word on how busy you all were last night. Wowsers!
Girl power reigned, tho'!! Bet Andy won't be jealous at all!
Lori, what a sad thing for your niece. Kids are not only mean. They are also just downright rude.
So good that you could help make it a special teen year celebration for her!!
Lori, is Kate the gal who came with you to NCTC? How did she fracture her vertebrae? Poor gal!
Prayers for pain relief and that surgery won't be necessary. Tell her Hi from the Momsters!
Good morning! It has taken me forever to catch up on the blog comments. Last night I kept falling asleep!
Now, it is time for me to get ready for church. Will be back this afternoon.
Have not seen anything about TH. Has she laid egg #2?
Gotta run!
BBL
Good Morning Everyone! The BWEaglet
is adorable as will ours be - love those dark eyes. I think that our nest's feeding position is not going to allow us to see much unless Belle & Lib stand off to the side.
I need to go over to the last thread
and see what went on this morning.
Lori take good loving care of Kate - Prayers for her recovery!
Be back Shortly
Thank you Lynn, Jo, Paula. Kate sends a hearty hello and thanks for the prayers for pain relief and that she won't have to have surgery.
Yes, Lynn, it was Kate I brought with me to the nest to see Hidey.
Good Morning to all peeps in eagle land this not a wind gust day. (:
Lori I don't know Kate but I do know how to pray ... prayers for her pain and that she won't need surgery.
Yes kids can be rude to each other. I remember some of those gal friend times with my gal. It saddens me they can be a friend one time then next day not then another day yes. Lori sounds like she had a GREAT time though all you did.

I missed something somewhere about "the test question"??
Good morning!
Um, Wanda? Does the Capt. know you may be sleeping with the sandman?
Margy, welcome gift sounds like a good approach -- you, of course, can mention your working/sleeping hours.
About to head out for lunch. Chilly but it is so nice to get out after so many weeks of confinement.
Love the picture of the BW eaglet. One out and two to go!
Lori, glad all turned out well for your niece.
Oops, ride is here. BBL
Have a nice day out Judie you surely deserve it (:
Baby is showing at BWE!
Love those eyes BWE
Time for the 'cover up' BWE
Need to keep warm and also incubate
the other 2........
When you get home Judie, let us know where you went for lunch.. Enjoy
Well, Mai just had a rip-tearing run around the yard. Had the dirt flying from under her feet. Hope it wore her out!
Hunter and I will stay home this afternoon while Kathryn goes to the movies with her new friends.
Her sitting plan did not work out. So I won't be joining them. That is fine. I have plenty to do here. I remember how great it was to have my support group when I went through the divorce experience.

Have my Animal Advocates meeting this afternoon. Dana, are you coming?? 713 Buxton St.
Good that Kat has made some new friends, Shirley. I don't know if they even HAD divorce support groups 19 yrs. ago! Not that I needed one.....I had great friends at work who helped where and when I needed it. Helped SO much that I was financially independent enough with my job that I didn't have to mess with going for anything. And the child support then was a total LAUGH. $80 a mo. for a 17 y.o.!

Going for a lunch break
Lynn - hope the meeting goes well
BBILW
So sorry to hear about Kate's back, Lori. Hope some meds help ease the pain.
Nice egg roll by Lib.
Lynn, my child support was a joke, too. It's much better nowadays.
That's good news, Tbird.
Carolyn thinks there's a 2ndd hatch at BWE.......she nor Jenn saw shell from 1st one for last hour or two.....and now there is one.....stand up Lady B!
Eighty dollars a month is a joke for sure.
My child support was better than that, Lynn. I had two eleven-year- olds. Of course, I also had two who were over 18 and sometimes needed some help.
Kathryn hasn't worked out the support issue yet, but he is helping with child care expenses.
Keeping an eye on BWE - there very well could be a hatch today.. I thought that was the same egg shell from the 1st hatch.... just maybe not!
Keep eyes "peeled", please. Gotta go. Gonna miss mosot of the Daytona 500, too.....:(
LAter, gators.
Oh Thelma I am in tears...PRAISES ...I do believe prayer did help. Continued prayers...I know the family and you are so relieved.
That eggshell is from the first chick. Still two eggs and one chick at BWE
Good afternoon.
I saw Lib just roll and wiggle. There's a big roll of fluff on the nest. I don't know if it's the same one as previous but it is a nice addition to the scene.
Two egg and one chick at BWE. They are in the open.
That is the same eggshell....Parent showing chick now. 2 eggs still present and one chicklet
Guess we have BWE covered!
Hi BEagle and Megan
Quickly to be covered up once again.
Hi Paula.
Hello:)
Ha,ha yep, all eyes are on BWE, need that eaglet fix.
1:16 BWE You can see 1 eaglet and 2 eggs are still in tact. The viewing was only a few seconds but that is what
I saw. No time to look for any pipping
BWE does keep looking underneath
Sure wish they had live feed but 15 sec is better than 30
I tried eying a pip. Didn't look like one there but who can tell....could be underneath.
Yeah. We can be happy with 15 second lapses.
Hello all you 'egg hatch watchers'
Taking a break - tax papers need to be sorted.
BBL
A lot of fish on the Vian nest and two growing chicks.
Eagle on White Rock and eagle on Decorah.
Duke nest is empty. KIDS nest has snow and still coming down.
Don't even want to go to OR nest. I know it will be covered with snow.
sssssssssssssssssssssss
GooD MorniNG, aLL.
sssssssssssssssssssssss
[:~D] Jim
The fluff ball looks like an eaglet.
Happy, Noisy Daytona 500 Sunday!!
T-Bird, so glad Zach is home & Lori, hope Kate improves steadily. Prayers for both and all in need.
Elec finally came on for good yesterday PM, so got to work on pics from Chelsea farmhouse office & post them, (NO-no mud tracks!!)
Did my bird count & see that you can count for more than 15 min. & for other days during count time if you wish. I might see what others I can get. You can enter5 photos, too, but don't know if it's only for count days. Will have to check the website. I could send them tons of grackle pics! LOL
BTW, for about 2 yrs. now I have not seen many house or purple finches!They were as plentiful as sparrows before???
Well, that's new~~~did get a sign -in page after commenting! Boo
Second egg at BWE is hatching.
Look quick at BWE
I think it's time for little BWE chick to get some food.
All out in the open.
No adult on the nest at the moment.
Chick & eggs showing at BW.
I thought I saw a dark space on the egg the chick is leaning on. It's hard to tell.
You have good eyes Lolly!
It looks like the bottom egg at BWE is hatching BUT it could be just some straw.
That's a thought. The young chick was actually leaning on the egg next to it.
Looks like a 2nd chick at BW. Now ther are FOUR whitish blobs in nest well!!!!!!!
Will put pic on blog
lol BWE eaglet is so wobbly
Hope another is going to hatch today
However the 3rd one might not hatch until the 24th. That one best be 'Spunky'
afternoon all! It's been a "HONEY DO" day, trying to get some projects done. Not the least of which is caulking up many holes and gaps in here (and there are SO many in this old house) in the hopes that at least SOME of the stinkbugs will exit to the outside. We'll be heading to Tracey's in a bit for dinner.
Lori, I don't know who Kate is but WOW, sounds so painful and I'm glad you are taking good care of her. Prayers that she can get some relief, surgical or otherwise. And those rotten kids not showing up to Megan's party...how awful. Glad you were able to give her a good party anyway!
Loretta, I've never seen Purple Finches here, but we sure used to have a LOT more House Finches than what we do this year. We had another huge flock of Grackles this AM, and they had were slumming with a bunch of Red Winged Blackbirds! Got some pics to post later.
Something is distracting our eagle.
Maybe it's time for a switch
Loweeda, anxious to see your pic. Have been watching BWE but only see one eaglet and two eggs.
Shoot, can't tell now if another chick. Maybe the 4th light thing was part of 1st chick, like wing or something.?!
Same here. The light made is look different. The adult's shade helped to see what was happening.
Lynne - did you see Dericks comment to Lynn about a spray to keep stink bugs out of the house?Fly spray... the stuff we use on horses works like a charm to keep these little buggers away. Any brand! Spray around your exterior door and window frames, poof - they'll stay away.
Now for the ones that are already in the house..Swimming lessons..I have a jar with a drop of dish detergent in it sitting on the counter with a sign on the jar that says "FREE Swimming Lesson". It kills em' but you do have to pick them up to escort them to the 'pool' LOL
As I have said - This year you may need a bucket!!
Put my BW pic on. Think it's just the one chick! Duh
Oh, I do hope we do not get more stink bugs than we have already been getting. So far, not as many as you in WV have gotten. Kathryn has gotten most of them in her room, and she has been flushing them.
The BWE chick is stretched out and makes it look like two-ish.
Nice pic.
Shirley that can add up to a lot of flushing - does it affect your water bill? If so get the bowl of water with some dish washing liquid - plop them in it and Instant death.
(Shirley did I use 'affect' correctly)
lol I'm a slow learner
I didn't take any bird count pics--but did have a couple r-winged blackbirds in w/the hoard!
Some that we usually see didn't show, so maybe I will count more times.
I think I will go buy fly spray for horses. Sounds like a reasonable idea.
Ha Ha. I like the bowl of dishwater.
: D
FREE Swimming Lessons! : D
BEagle - they don't even get a chance to try to swim! Instant kill!
I will get a dish out right away!!!!!
Do you save up a whole bowl full of them and then flush?
Love the NO MORE SB ideas! Fly spray for horses! Great idea. Of course, guess you have to reapply if rain hits your frames.
Guess we're not helping~~~we throw them outside!
Affect is correct.
Two on TH. I think they lost the 1st and this is the 2nd.
Just a thought
lol If you are throwing them outside dead - then that is ok.
BEagle when I get too many in the bowl, I then discard the contents of the bowl outside in the yard. I hope to heck I'm not growing them! lol
Thanks for answering my grammar question
BEagle what makes you think there are two at TH and they lost the 1st? Just wondering? I have been wondering if they had laid the second.
Wish horse fly spray and jars of dishsoap would take care of armadillos. LOL
Forgot to tell you.....I have lots of daffodils open today! Yea!
BEagle - Here is the IWS forum on the
TH incubation.........
Page 3 of discussions about TH
I'm not making any headway on tax
papers - Must close this down now
& focus on the task at hand!!!
cu later
Lolly could you express mail me my
daffodils ?
They are my favorite 1st flower of
Spring..........
Would be glad to, JO, but I am afraid they would still be terrible wilted. Shall I enjoy this for the both of us?
I love them too. They are so bright and cheerful. I can remember the first time I ever saw daffodils. I thought they looked artificial, so perfect!
I have had my lunch, think I will do a little house straightening and then go outside.
BBL
I will try to explain my thoughts about the TH nest.
fmbvkahtei;vma mouse! jgfas/ asgj armadillo ril;a ajd;hgi stink bugs djier; ajfkd;a
Did that make sense? Doesn't to me either. MemaJo, thanks for posting the forum. Hard to keep up with all the nests ya know?
Hey Thelma. Positive news and will continue to send wishes for successful aftercare.
Lori, hope Kate is better soon.
Shirley, hope you are having a nice afternoon.
Went to a really upscale place called Bob Evans. Had a small elegant breakfast. The real pleasure was to be outside and to visit with my friend. From very different backgrounds but much in common.
Lynn, hope the meeting is a productive one.
Okay, need to check a nest or two. Did catch a wrestling match between Ted and Lucky. Fascinating. Went on for quite a long time.
Understand there was a big crash at Daytona.
BBL
Belle is back!, she brought fluff
It's a big hunkaroo, Lib has it now
Good Afternoon Momsters & Dadsters!
Kate & I both thank you for the prayers and nice comments - MRI is tomorrow. It's just one of the many things I love about this blog - the fabulously kind people!
Got a little peak of that little BWE baby a few min. ago. Big instant smile! You gotta love it.
Lolly, Armadillos? Wholly Moley!
Jo - Shhhh - you said taxes. Makes my stomach flip. There's gotta be a better way, eh?
Andy, I bet my Mom has as much Tupperware as Kathryn. I don't remember a moment of my life without it! :) Guess that's why it's still around.
Oh Jo - thanks for reposting Derick's Stink Bug comments - I never wanna miss a good one and I'll try the fly spray got horses, too. I plan to have a whole battery of backup plans this spring in case one stops working!
Aha, he is outta there
Check you later!
♥
A feather floating around just landed on Belle's shoulder
Flying fluff - FF?
WOW. Now THAT is fluff!
Looks like Spanish Moss for plant baskets!
: D
Belle is trying to spread it out and it keeps balling up on her.
That stick that is straight up is on the left side of the nest, Belle was trying to move it after she came in
It's pretty nice outside, went out and scooped the yard, threw the ball for Nugz, and cut down some dead stuff from the front yard...got a whole yard bag full.
Didn't realize I was out of yard bags, otherwise I'd do some more in the back.
That stick probably bends and tickles her back.
You start clipping just a little here and a little there. Pretty soon you get 10 bags full of stuff. It's amazing.
The city provides the bags for us here.
I think I've been thru 10-15 bags already....have some big grasses out back to finish up.
That's a nice little perk, BEagle.
How's the new job going?
Guess I'd better get some laundry started...
Just fine on the new job. It's busy as all 'get out' but it's a good busy if you know what I mean.
Got to boogie.
♥
BTW....White Rock has a perfect egg cup formed on their nest. When did they do that? I do not know.
Awesome
BBL ♥
BWE up and tending eggs...anyone seen the little feller eat yet? I might have earlier, but not really sure.
Parent right over the bowl, can't see in.
1 chick and 2 eggs
Maybe ti's eatin time
Parent gone at BWE
Egg roll our nest
BWE parent back with fish...awesome!
Whoo hoo eating time at BWE
Really good view of chick and 2 eggs at BWE
Feeding time How about that
Sushi for afternoon snack at BWE
BWE - covered up chick, but now some more bites. Could be another egg hatching, hard to say.
Someone else at BWE is having SUSHI
The egg closest to us looks like it might be going to pop!
You saw that too, Jo. During first feeding egg appeared whole...during second, it looked like it was hatching all the way across. I sent pic to Lisa.
Nature Nut posted a pic of the chick at BWE.
Earlier the chick looked like one of the eggs except you could see those big eyes looking up, wondering what happened to the blanket.
I'm sure Lisa is at the refuge and will answer you soon....
Lib just brought food in
Lib's back, he brought Belle some lunch/dinner. She grabbed it and is eating at the front of the nest. He is standing right at the edge at 4ish
He just flew over her to the left and off the nest at 10ish
belle is devouring the fishy
Belle out to the right, Lib in from the right
That little fish didn't last long.
Missed it - I was watching the Race for a few minutes - I'm sure that
Loretta and Frank haven't moved away
for that TV..
WOW
That was a quick snack. Then right back to business.
Parent up at BWE
Hubby said we are going out to eat
I bet I miss some things at BWE...
I'm sure you all will comment like
crazy if things start to happen....
I think it is Cracker Barrel - maybe I'll find some things in their store area for me or the great grandkids...
Megan = do you need a new gardening wide brim hat? You need a new Beach hat Paula! I don't look well in hats - do you BEagle?
Get a look at BWE
Feeding time again.........
What I need is dinner from Cracker Barrel...
Although I do go thru a lot of hats.
Feeding at BWE, eggs look whole now
I look terrible in a hat, save your $$ Jo!
Hey Paula, thanks for the narration of where Belle and Lib were each standing when they were both in the nest. That really helps my practicing of who is who.
You're welcome, Lori
Up for an egg roll...that's Lib in the nest now.
They've really got that fluff packed around the egg cup.
Supposed to get some rain tonight, guess they're getting the fluff ready.
That was a wild amount of fluff earlier. They may have stolen your moss Megan!
Lib looks so big right now, but his tail feathers are longer and his wing feathers always appear neater to me. Scientific huh?!
Hats? I don't know if I look good in one. They smash my hair so I use hoods and earmuffs to stay warm.
It has been raining here. I don't know for how long.
My son wears a ski mask type hat with holes for the eyes. He looks really Ninja in it.
EEEEEIIIIIII!!! Whoosh a Whacka.
Not much moss here, but they're welcome to come get some straw from the gardens.
Getting dark, gotta go cover seed flats and light gh heater.
Hi everyone! Didn't realize it was so late. (story of my life)
I did see BWE's eaglet. Won't be long until we have our own fuzzy.
See by the number of posts I have a lot of catching up to do, so off I go.....
More bites for baby BW
Oh I thought the rain was coming tomorrow night...
Shoot. I missed BWE feeding.
TCB
Later
"both our nest"
Lib is comfy...doesn't want to move...he finally gets up...nite light on now....off to the right he goes. Belle's turn for night nite on the nest.
tonight- Cloudy with a slight chance of sleet. A chance of rain... mainly after midnight. Lows in the mid 30s. South winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation 50 percent.
Interesting article
Thunder the Eagle
Lisa thought it was hard to tell whether egg #2 was hatching or not.
Good grief, Megan---NOT sleet! I thought it was almost spring part of this week.
Jo will be happy to know that I saw jonquil leaves a few inches up at the farmhouse office Friday.Will take a pic as soon as some open!
Daughter just called & she had a close encounter!They went to some friends' house who weren't home from church yet. She went in back yard where they have mini-pins in an enclosure. There are also some cats around. She sat on ground & had hand thru fence, petting dogs. She saw something black out of the corner of her eye. It was a skunk 2ft. from her!!She hauled & so did Jimmy! It kept roaming & later went back towards trees & they smelled it had sprayed!!!Good, not on them!
Just read about Thunder - a few facts in there I wasn't aware of...“In nature, female eagles don’t let male eagles eat with the family"
Hi again. What have I missed? Need to play catch-up. Carolyn admitted she was wrong, but I didn't have time to log back on puter and post her apology!!
Good meeting. GOt home in time to see the end of the race { :( }. Had to give Miss Mai a foot bath----she tried to dig to China when she was out. And got my steak grilled before it got dark!
That is too close for comfort !!!
Loretta is the race over and who won?
Oh, forgot to mention that a 20 year old driver, Trevor Bayne won the race!!His 2nd race & 1st Nascar one!!He drives for the Wood Bros. who have been in race business for a long time, but hadn't won in 10 years!Trevor said they prayed to God before the race & he wants to do some missionary work!He was not signed w/a team full time, but bet he will be now. Sounds like the kind of young man Joe Gibbs should hire.
Paula, that was a great story. Hard to imagine having eagle at home that many years!
Interesting story about Thunder. Learn something new every day, I guess!
Lori, didn't know (or remember!!) that you had horses.
Thanks, Jo, for posting Derick's info about SB's. I'll head for Tractor Supply sometime this week and get horse flyspray!
Shirley....they are talking "biblical proportion" SB invasioon this year! Think I posted a link to the story yesterday evening.
Thanks, Paula, that was a great article about Thunder. Very interesting!
BEagle loved your explanation of your thoughts on TH. Understood that perfectly well. LOL
Do not like it so dark at the nest!
Loweeda! That was certainly a close encounter for your daughter. LOL Not the kind you want to have.
Egg roll!
Hi
Got a brief spell of wet something or other falling from the sky
has stopped now
glad to hear that was a meal at the Sycamore Palace, wish I had seen it
so from what I read we still have the egg at Two Harbors ? right?
I have seen two purple finches in my lifetime, one in Massachusetts 25 years ago,
and one at NCTC four years ago
Jo, I can really get carried away at Cracker Barrell!!! Too much neat stuff.
Judie, glad you had a nice lunch. Bob Evans has good food, too. So nice that you are getting more time out of the house!
My snowdrops popped today!!! Complete with a bloom!!!
bummer
my older brother Fred and his wife are planning to drive South from CT were due to be here Monday night...now they have to adjust their plans because of the weather forecast !
Sigh...have not seen him in over four years :(
well, maybe things will change
I have some cool hats but they don't suit me too well either
I'm hankering to see my first Robin and first Red-Winged Blackbird, but you all keep talking about it...I will join in one day
Lori
best wishes for quick recovery for Kate..
and T-Bird
glad to hear your nephew seems to be on the up and up ☺
I'm going to edge the blog right near to the SPLIT coming up in less than ten posts
got to go pull my four hour shift to cover for someone who is sick
See you folks Monday !
Best wishes for a good evening
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
Margy hope you get to see your brother and his wife.
Loretta your daughter did have a close encounter.
Ok horse fly spray will get some.
I keep a jelly jar with lid and detergent and water in it. I use the lid cause I'm allergic to stinkbug spray. It is like poison to me.
Beautiful at BWE...thanks for picture Loretta.
Oh by the way last night on news there was something about a guy eating a stinkbug sandwich. Did anyone see it?????
Be safe out there Margy and hope they quite down upstairs.
BEagle I love hats but like you they flatten by hair. They make my hair so flat and makes it look so thin. So I don't wear them but certainly would love too.
Dana, that stinkbug sandwich is totally gross! Sounds like something they would have done on that show a couple of years ago!
I didn't know that about female eagles, either!
Margy, hope your brother can make it down safely soon.
A great article about Thunder the eagle - thanks Paula.
Lots of things in there I didn't know either - drop a flying fish from the air and if she dives and catches it then she accepts him as a mate. Interesting...and cute! Guess most of us humans would be single if we had to do that!
Loretta, that too colose for comfort skunk smell is awful. One of my dogs has been sprayed twice! Awful. It smells like industrial garlic and something that just permeates your nasal membranes and doesn't go away for nearly a week! She doesn't go out to tinkle at night now if she's not on leash.
*** ALMOST 200 ***
[:~D] Jim
Goodnight all.
Prayers for all who need it. Thanks for your prayers for Kate and her back and pain, too.
Sweet Dreams to get you through the night and tomorrow's colder, wet weather.
Bedtime here. 1:30 comes far too early!
See you dark and early Monday! Night.
