70 ° in February? then right back to mid 40's. mother nature does get confused. Today's nest weather- Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 50s. South winds 5 to 10 mph with gusts up to 20 mph.
Megan did you notice that the eggs are still at the same end of the nest as they have been, but the eagles and their chest/warming patch are at the other end. Is that okay for the eggs?
Morning ladies. Stopping in while I get ready for work. I see our boy is keeping the egglets nice and warm
A friend of mine had a BIG barn fire several years ago and there was not a good outcome. Just glad the animals were able to escape this recent fire.
Meeting friends for dinner tonight at Vandalia. Yummy. My friend just had a knee replacement and I'm so glad to say she's doing great. Glad she's getting out!
Thank you, Steve. Thank you, Megan. Hope you both have a lovely day in the warm sunshine.
Lynn, sorry about the circumstances with Ric and please offer sympathies to Bill for his employee's wife.
Was rooting for the Char Pai but alas, not this year.
Wanda, thanks for the advice about preventing dirt soiling the cane. I'll take that advice. Want to preserve my new toy.
Looks like the eaglets to be are being well cared for this a.m. Need to check back before heading for coffee and newspaper.
Lynne2, hope you and Steve are feeling better this a.m.
Shirley, didn't realize you are actually on a battlefield. Like Lynn, thought that was a no no. Yep, lots of ghosts would abound. Wonder if one was name Shingle?
WVsUSAN, how interesting about Vandalia. Used to live in a suburb of Dayton, Oh called Vandalia when I worked for the Air Force.
Margy, hope you get some good sleep. If things get too noisy, call a cop friend.
Hope the fire is over and no person or animals were injured.
Prayer requestTomorrow Kari age around 34 will be having surgery - they are hoping when they do the removal it is NOT cancerous. A dr in town let things go to long. Although she seen him 4different times.
Good Morning everyone - already a beautiful day has started - going to be fantastic out there - most of the snow has melted in the yard - a little more is left and will be gone today. No plans except go out on the deck and soak up some rays.
Good morning! Glanced at the temp around 2 am....62! Amazing! We are going to be in the 70's at least for another week. This is bad for the fruit trees. They will start to bud and then along comes a freeze. Presently 64 and cloudy but sun is supposed to peek out this afternoon.
Prayers for your young friend, Dana.
Just got a peek at our eggs a moment ago during an egg roll.
Jack talked with our computer expert and he says to try to clean our laptop with air. So, out to buy a can of air and blow this thing clean. Sure hope it works. Want to burn a CD and get the pics on a CD.
I am beginning to worry about this "gang" of Eagle cane vigilantes. Sounds ominous to me!
Think Diann asked about the SB seminar.....only Megan from our group made it, Di. No new info. It will take years before they come up with any solutions. They have been very devastating to crops in the area, and have farmers and orchardists hurting along with the master gardeners like Megan who depend on their "crops" for a living. Sad.
Loretta great you was able to locate the nest. Seeing a head in there might mean sitting on egg/s.
Hedgie-Lynn sorry about Bill's bosses wife Jane but now she is suffering no more. As you well know. Prayers still continue for Rick for peace and glad family has come to those terms.
Oh Margy that card for the person at your work sounds like a real good one for them. lol Sort of like a grown up titmouse one tee hee
Sad about the situation if it was who you think had the fire Wanda.
I will need to take car into car wash to clean underneath. Looking for lost dog yesterday. Was on two farm lanes pretty muddy.
Jo, only the snowpiles from shoveling and plowing remain here! Hurray! But driveway is a m uddy mess. Charlie is arranging for a load of gravel, but it will be the end of next week. Guess I've let it go too long without getting any....and every plowing takes some away, of course.
BWE cam feed gone cattywampus. Keeps getting big lines across it. Been lurking and checking cams, and I think MAYBE there is a pip in one of the eggs there....can't tell for sure.
Lynn If Mai can't knock you down she will trip you up! I know it isn't funny - but I don't know what I am going to do if I don't have you 2 to help me laugh.
Good afternoon everyone! It's a sunshine day. Lolly, miss your sunny avatar.
Yes, Lynn, it was me that asked about the seminar. Our local news had a story about them last evening from an exterminator, of course. He said they are venturing out with the warmer temps and are attracted to light; i.e. windows.
I can vouch for their increased activity. Our second floor seems to be their favorite, and that's the bedrooms area. Yikes!! I'm not as bothered because I'm on the first floor. heehee
Of course, he wants us to call a professional if otc measures don't work. Duh.
Prayers for all those requests and others in need.
Judie, "heard" about your eagle cane. What a great surprise from your friendly eagle watchers. Fight Darth off with it if he tries to take it away.
Wow, it's way warmer back there, I guess, than it is in So Cal today. It's having trouble breaking 60° and we're having light rains, which will develop into showers later...
Supposedly we will be getting a series of COLD, COLD storms from the Alaska area for the next few days... Remember they started there and not in CA when they reach back into your area.
Heard on the weather this morning that you were do for all that. :( It is 59° here, but clouds have rolled in and breeze is picking up, as you can see from the nest....so not feeling that warm!
Diann, it WAS from the back, so yeah, coppertone "oldster"!! Yes, Jo...that's it! Saw that Robyn posted that Marty Stuart is going to be there with The Confederate Railroad!!!!
Okay, Jim has executed a preemptive strike -- we cannot hold him responsible for the cold weather that is to return next week. So, guess we'll blame Andy.
Lynn, I do hope Mai has a good session tonight. I hope even more that she stops with the aggression. Coppertone -- lol.
Got my "do" did this afternoon. Not only am I beauteous BUT I DROVE MY CAR ALL ALONE! Took me back 50 years. Will smack Darth with my Eagle cane if he tries to take the keys away.
Nest look pretty all dappled in sunlight.
No bulbs or other early signs of Spring. Maybe in a few more days.
WAY TO GO, JUDIE!!!! Bet that felt like real freedom!!! Is it your right ankle or left? I forget. If it's your right, just don't "mash" the pedal too hard, as they say around here!
Two lovely eggs in view. Belle taking off....probably warm, stiff and hungry!
I am getting so frustrated! Grrr! Cleaned my laptop and tried again to burn pictures to a cd. Still will not work. Jack is taking it tonight to Mike. Maybe he can figure it out!
Yea, Judie!!!! Freedom! What I really like is there is not so much talk of pain, though I do know it still hurts. Progress is being made.
Poor Andy!! Being blamed on weather the east has not even received yet????
72 here presently. Jack has been out working on the landscape lights and the stream. We have been leaking!! Yikes! Thinks he has found and solved the problem.
have no fear Darth...if you end up with an eagle imprint on your body, you'll have the evidence in the cane, and Judie's confession of sorts right here! LOL!
anyway...JUDIE!!! another MILESTONE in your recovery!!! WOO HOO!
OK so it looks like several of you have seen a pip in the BWE egg as I though I had...won't be long now!
Haven't caught up on all the comments. Just got to the one day old deer. Thank you so much for putting that on here. I just laughed at the little one. So sweet (:
Lisa will really keep us updated when things start to happen on her Nest Update 02/16/11: All quiet on the egg front. Thursday is the first day we would strongly expect to see a hole starting in the first egg. Possible first hatch of our 3 eggs: Feb. 17
Jo, Jo, you won't believe it but on my way home from getting my "do" done, I saw a Sheetz tanker on the road. Thought my highlight chemicals had gotten to me.
Also, Jo, hope you had a fun Alexis time as I guess you're home now.
Lynn2, plead the 5th. My confession was coerced. Have to blame Andy because Jim has bailed on CA responsibility.
Yep, wild woman with a cane on the loose in D.C., Dana. Hope you're doing okay.
Lolly, I am so sorry you and Jack are leaking. Other than that, I hope the laptop gets fixed -- maybe the leaking, too.
Lynn, left ankle so this car is not a problem. Going to check to see if you've posted about Mai's training tonight.
Just looked. From the camera angle, it looks as if a small twig like piece of wood is above Belle's back but not resting on her back. May have been blown by wind. We'll know after a switch or a change in position.
I am not actually on the battlefield proper, just close by. But I am sure that plenty of the action took place around here. There are homes on the official battlefield property, though.
And, actually, it is kind of hard to say where the battlefield ends. I drive through areas where there are signs that say you are passing through a battlefield when you are on a main highway. I pass through both Wilderness and Chancellorsville on the way home from work.
Finally made it back.....actually got home an hour ago, but had to feed Mai and ME----got a pizza from the Hut! Mai was a hyper handful tonight. Would NOT settle down. Little rip.
Criminal Minds is on.
Wanda, thanks for info on barn. So that WASN'T the Lemaster place??
Well, it's that time again. Tomorrow is a wannabe adult day. Hope to finish up serial homicide lecture so next week can be videos of interviews then the exam.
Shirley, had a thought about the student who hides her text. Maybe you should try this: "Oh, by-the-way, I see you left your book hidden behind others on the shelf -- you might want to take it home to do some reading." Have to admit, that is something I would do but then, I am not always nice.
Headed across the hall to bed. Turning my light off but will leave the night light on for others coming in, headed back the hallway, up the stairs, to the tub, stumbling around in the dark, or coming in the from CA. Pleasant dreams.
everything upstairs has been quiet, so far...confirmed new neighbors upstairs, one couple, one 3 year old...they have not finished moving in yet. maybe the parents work, and the child will go to day care ☺
Good evening! LOL Kind of late, aren't I? Jack took my laptop to Mike. He thinks there is something wrong with the windows program I have been trying to use to burn cd's. Now using a software program and have been burning cd's. Finally!
Sorry, Lynn, sounds like Mai was not the good girl she was supposed to be for you.
LOL I was not even paying any attention at all to their wing blings! Guess 81 did not lay an egg after all. LOL Need to pay more attention to who's on first.
Well, phone calls have kind of messed up the end of my show......paused it so now trying to watch. Then to catch the news. Worrying about Christie....no return call from her this evening....she's supposed to fly out of Indianapolis at 7:30AM, heading home. Got a Valentine from my sister today---there was a PetSmart gift card enclosed!! Cool.
Kind of sorry to hear of so much egg-laying activity out west. That bad weather coming in doesn't sound like the right kind for roosting eagles and eggs. :(
Would love to stay and chat, but just too exhausted. This girl is wearing me out...and down.
Prayers for all. Will see you sometime tomorrow. Supposedly Carolyn is bringing a co-worker so I can do her taxes.....but she fialed to firm things up, so now I DON'T KNOW.....
Must say goodnight. Our Mike arrived this afternoon for a few days (I hope) and I'll need my rest to deal with these guys.
Ms. Coppertone, I hope you soon get a handle on that little girl Mai.
Meggan, hope you have a very prosperous year and if you need to get rid of some flowers...I like white daisies. Seem to have trouble growing them here.
Prayers for all needs and wants. God bless you all.
Now the TH eagles are moving around. 82 hopped down to the egg cup and stuck her head down in it. The 81 came over, pushed her aside, stuck his head in the egg cup. She is now back on the rock and he is once again messing with the egg cup. Crazy birds!
A lot of good TV tonight, more tomorrow night. American Idol is getting down to the nitty gritty now...very interesting. Survivor comes on at the same time, so, we will have to tape it every Wed. Looks like it will be good.
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS BLESSINGS AND PRAYERS FOR ALL
can you get Blackwater Lori...? she looks pretty... always does... this could be the BIG day for that Eagle pair and one of the 3 egglets... would be right on schedule if so
OH how WONDERFUL! I just checked in on Lady Blackwater. The thought of seeing an eaglet is more than I can handle! I'll be a giddy mess. Can you imagine when Belle & Lib's eaglets come?
So you know when Belle & Lib's eggs are expected to hatch?
I hope you're having a great morning and got some sleep yesterday!
Have a great day all. I'll be busy for a little while trying to keep my focus. I'll check back later and hope they get a healthy eaglet at Blackwater today!
Sorry that Mai was such a pill at class last night Lynn. UGH.
Sure is going to be a pretty day! Too bad I'll be at work for it! Maybe I'll open the office window and let some fresh air in...
Anyone doing the Backyard Bird Count that starts tomorrow? I'm all ready!
There have been DOZENS of small earthquakes in Arkansas over the last week or so, and this morning there was a 4.0. Big enough to make OUR local news! Much investigation going on as to why. Some speculation that the gas and oil company pumping waste water at high pressure into the earth may have something to do with it...MTBR
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE... I guess all eyes will be on Lord and Lady Baltimore today. I'm sure Lisa has her eyes peeled on that nest. Just like waiting on a grandchild to be born:)
Saddened to hear about the baby piggys perishing in that barn fire. It could have been worse...our neighbor (Lemaster) keeps his hefers on that property, but they must have been in the field. Don't know who that property belongs to. $125,000 loss is not a lot for a barn...must not have had very much equipment in there. Hope they had insurance!
Good morning eagle friends! Looks like 2 eggs for us this year, huh? Hope everyone is having a great day! It is beautiful here, has been for a couple of days now. I wonder if spring fever is fatal? I am riding down to the lake this afternoon. Need to take some measurements on the boat for the new furniture we got for it!!
There have been stories about horse farms here in Raleigh County and in Greenbrier County that were owned by Grady Whitlock (used to own car lots). Dozens of horses found starved to death on both farms. Animal cruelty is so horrible!!
The guys that lost the little chic/pug but up some flyers. Yesterday while I was out I had more printed in larger print and posted them around. I pray someone has that poor little one inside. Cold night.
I looked more around again. Wonder why my gas was so low then remember 2 hrs of riding around the day before. lol gas goes if you drive dana lol
Pitch yourself as Norma would say Margy at the Dentist.
Lynne2 yep open a window.
Sorry about those piggies :( sad. There is a farm here and whenever we would pass it (and I still do) always look for the new piggies.
Looks like food in the nest. Wonder what was brought in.
Yes Wanda for some reason little birds I guess are just not big enough for food for Lib or Belle. That happens often a little bird in or around the nest.
I would estimate egg hatching dates for our nest at around 36-38 days...which would be March 13-15 for the first egg and March 16-18 for the second egg.
Dana, I have mine at the bottom of my screen, and I have it set to do that as well. If you want to change it, right click on the toolbar and select properties, then uncheck auto hide. Then your toolbar will always stay on your screen
Morning all. Waiting for Carolyn and her co-worker to arrive. Sad news....10 pigs (2 adult a nd 8 piglets) died in the barn fire Tues. night. Another sow was badly burned. :(
Don't see any action at BWE----she hasn't been off the eggs since I brought cam up, so don't know if there are any pips or not.
Good morning everyone. I too have been wondering when the due dates are. Thanks Paula. I'm watching a lot lately but being the quiet man, I only speak occasionally.
Dana, most people have the blue task bar at the bottom of the screen. You can move it by closing all open windows then click your mouse on it and hold the mouse button down then you can drag the task bar to the bottom.
Dana you are talking about a different toolbar...Go to view toolbars and check the ones that you want to see all the time...you might have to fool around with it a little bit to get what you want.
Yes IE whole top line including the miniz button square button red x button back button forward button file edit view favorites too help all of the top sometimes just disappears but if you put cursor up there it is there.
Good morning! It is just so unbelievable the beautiful weather we are all having. A little scary, wondering when winter will hit again. Love seeing Belle sitting in the sunsine.
Going to do a little house work and then do serious computer work. Jack has the external drive working now, have backed up all pictures, and now I am going to do serious burning of cd's.
Picked two daffodils yesterday. Most daffodils are going to be blooming in a couple of weeks. The ones by my greenhouse were damaged, so do not know how they will do. Also, saw where my Mt. Laurel was also damaged. Grrrr!

I heard it Paula. Funn! I had TH up and was listening to it and enjoying the sound. I closed it down, continued to hear sound and was thinking it was coming from TH. Duh! I had closed it!!!

Today's nest weather-
Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 50s. South winds 5 to 10 mph with gusts up to 20 mph.
WOW - Early thread - Thanks Steve!
Good morning Meghan!
I am just loving this deeper nest knowing eaglets won't be teetering on the edges!
Lib flies in
Morning Lori:) Lib has arrived.
both eagles in the nest, but Belle is in no hurry to get off the nest.
Look at Belle just sitting there.
She's just now getting off the nest!
She finally got up and flew out.
And Lib takes over.
Gotta soak up now the differences in Lib and Belle in the nest - trying to get better at that. :)
Megan did you notice that the eggs are still at the same end of the nest as they have been, but the eagles and their chest/warming patch are at the other end. Is that okay for the eggs?
Didn't notice, Lori, doing too many other things while watching. But no worries, they know how to take care of those eggs.
Morning ladies. Stopping in while I get ready for work. I see our boy is keeping the egglets nice and warm
A friend of mine had a BIG barn fire several years ago and there was not a good outcome. Just glad the animals were able to escape this recent fire.
Meeting friends for dinner tonight at Vandalia. Yummy. My friend just had a knee replacement and I'm so glad to say she's doing great. Glad she's getting out!
Going to get ready. Will check back. BBL
headed home soon...
hope everyone has a good day...
seems like it is going to be a nice one
love these early morning new threads
thanks Steve,
& thanks Megan, for the alert
plant some seeds that will sprout yellow flowers for me, please xo
Good morning.
Thank you, Steve. Thank you, Megan. Hope you both have a lovely day in the warm sunshine.
Lynn, sorry about the circumstances with Ric and please offer sympathies to Bill for his employee's wife.
Was rooting for the Char Pai but alas, not this year.
Wanda, thanks for the advice about preventing dirt soiling the cane. I'll take that advice. Want to preserve my new toy.
Looks like the eaglets to be are being well cared for this a.m. Need to check back before heading for coffee and newspaper.
Lynne2, hope you and Steve are feeling better this a.m.

WVsUSAN, how interesting about Vandalia. Used to live in a suburb of Dayton, Oh called Vandalia when I worked for the Air Force.
Margy, hope you get some good sleep. If things get too noisy, call a cop friend.
Hope the fire is over and no person or animals were injured.
Off to check the nest again then coffee. BBL
Good morning everyone. Heading for 50 here today. Guess where I am going. Not expecting much if any sunshine but that's OK. Enjoy your day everyone.
GOOD MORNING ALL...
Glo, this will be a PERFECT day for photographing those beautiful eagles...ENJOY!
(Then show us your results)
Judie, Gene uses polyurathane...about 6 coats on my canes.
Good Sunny Morning all! Just checking before chores. It's going to be a pretty day!
...well, except for the muddy mess! But I'll take that over snow!
Have a great day, all, Glo, Margy, Lynne, Wanda, Judie, Susan . . .
I'm off to get some work done so I can get home and nap! zzzzzzzz
BBL
Oh Shirley, please tell me your friend Bette is improving.
Good Morning in Eagleland Friends
Prayer request Tomorrow Kari age around 34 will be having surgery - they are hoping when they do the removal it is NOT cancerous. A dr in town let things go to long. Although she seen him 4different times.
Good Morning fellow nest addicts.It is so good to see sunshine on the nest! Also watching for a pip on Blackwater soon.
Wishing the best for Kari, Dana.
Just caught up on comments.
Dana, of course prayers for Keri.
Good Morning everyone - already
a beautiful day has started - going to be fantastic out there - most of the snow has melted in the yard - a little more is left and will be gone today.
No plans except go out on the deck and
soak up some rays.

Good late AM. Been lurking.
N ot much going on here, but it is a pretty day. 41° but rising.
Prayers for Kari, Dana.
Tonight is puppy class at Petsmart...don't want to wear Mai out beforehand, but she is being a handfull his morning. First open wound since Sunday!!
Think Diann asked about the SB seminar.....only Megan from our group made it, Di. No new info. It will take years before they come up with any solutions. They have been very devastating to crops in the area, and have farmers and orchardists hurting along with the master gardeners like Megan who depend on their "crops" for a living. Sad.
Susan are you feeling better?
Loretta great you was able to locate the nest.
Seeing a head in there might mean sitting on egg/s.
Hedgie-Lynn sorry about Bill's bosses wife Jane but now she is suffering no more. As you well know.
Prayers still continue for Rick for peace and glad family has come to those terms.
Oh Margy that card for the person at your work sounds like a real good one for them. lol Sort of like a grown up titmouse one tee hee
Sad about the situation if it was who you think had the fire Wanda.

Here is a fantastic video of Lily, Hope and cubs if you have not seen it.
Hope and cubs playing
Shirley, when you get on there is a post I want you to see on fb.
Sorry about the wound, Lynn. Was she playing rough? Hope tonight's class goes well.
I am off now...need to get with it!
Have a great day!
How is this, Margy? LOL
Dana, Bill is the boss---it was one of his employee's wife. Thanks.
BWE cam feed gone cattywampus. Keeps getting big lines across it. Been lurking and checking cams, and I think MAYBE there is a pip in one of the eggs there....can't tell for sure.
Tried to make an online contribuation for Aunt Anna Mae (Meyer) Bracken for Susan B Cure. Don't know if it went through or not have a call into them.
Lolly, avatar is great!!
Yes, she was playing rough and grabbed me! She also pulled my pants down!
Prayers for Kari, Dana
Prayers for Ric(k), Lynn
our eagle just poofed
and back, not sure if the same one or the other!
Hey there! Droopy drawers!
Funny NOT
Lynn If Mai can't knock you down
she will trip you up! I know it isn't funny - but I don't know what I am going to do if I don't have you 2 to help me laugh.
LOL, Jo....right you are!!!
** gOOD mORNING,
eVERYONE **
C(°ٿ°)D Jim
Looks like maybe a pik in one of the Blackwater eggs but is hard to tell.
Good afternoon everyone! It's a sunshine day. Lolly, miss your sunny avatar.

Okay, Jimbo, we'll remember that!
Heard on the weather this morning that you were do for all that. :(
It is 59° here, but clouds have rolled in and breeze is picking up, as you can see from the nest....so not feeling that warm!
Lynn, your comment about Mai pulling your pants down gave me the vision of the the Coppertone girl.
Just had to share that vision. Now to catch up some more.
BTW - It's BEAUTIFUL outside! My daffs are up about an inch but no sign of my snowdrops. ???
Lynn is this where you go?
Pickin’ in the Panhandle, which is also known as the West Virginia State BBQ and Bluegrass Festival.
Trying to watch BWE switch and see
the three eggs as to maybe a pip in one.
Diann, it WAS from the back, so yeah, coppertone "oldster"!!
Yes, Jo...that's it! Saw that Robyn posted that Marty Stuart is going to be there with The Confederate Railroad!!!!
Check out this cuteness!
Pudu deer
Okay, Jim has executed a preemptive strike -- we cannot hold him responsible for the cold weather that is to return next week. So, guess we'll blame Andy.
Lynn, I do hope Mai has a good session tonight. I hope even more that she stops with the aggression. Coppertone -- lol.
Got my "do" did this afternoon. Not only am I beauteous BUT I DROVE MY CAR ALL ALONE! Took me back 50 years. Will smack Darth with my Eagle cane if he tries to take the keys away.
Nest look pretty all dappled in sunlight.
No bulbs or other early signs of Spring. Maybe in a few more days.

Run, Darth, run!
WAY TO GO, JUDIE!!!! Bet that felt like real freedom!!! Is it your right ankle or left? I forget. If it's your right, just don't "mash" the pedal too hard, as they say around here!
Two lovely eggs in view. Belle taking off....probably warm, stiff and hungry!
I am getting so frustrated! Grrr! Cleaned my laptop and tried again to burn pictures to a cd. Still will not work. Jack is taking it tonight to Mike. Maybe he can figure it out!
Yea, Judie!!!! Freedom! What I really like is there is not so much talk of pain, though I do know it still hurts. Progress is being made.
Poor Andy!! Being blamed on weather the east has not even received yet????
72 here presently. Jack has been out working on the landscape lights and the stream. We have been leaking!! Yikes! Thinks he has found and solved the problem.
Have BWE and our cam up side by side. Still wonder about our lack of color.??? It is better than it used to be but still mostly black and white.
Almost time to head out. See you all later!
I would love to have a PUDU deer. Awesome little guy!
Judie - did you stop by the Sheetz on your drive? I bet you felt so free!
That is fantastic progress....
Be a good girl, Mai! You strut your stuff....
have no fear Darth...if you end up with an eagle imprint on your body, you'll have the evidence in the cane, and Judie's confession of sorts right here! LOL!
anyway...JUDIE!!! another MILESTONE in your recovery!!! WOO HOO!
OK so it looks like several of you have seen a pip in the BWE egg as I though I had...won't be long now!
Out the door
It is Alexis dinner time.......
BBL
Hi! both eagles at Norfolk and Sydney. Sydney is doing serious nestorations.
Judie, awesome.
Haven't caught up on all the comments. Just got to the one day old deer. Thank you so much for putting that on here. I just laughed at the little one. So sweet (:
Judie you DROVE THE CAR!!!!!!! Since you got that EAGLE CANE you have become a WILD WOMAN lol
Lisa will really keep us updated when things start to happen on her Nest Update 02/16/11:
All quiet on the egg front. Thursday is the first day we would strongly expect to see a hole starting in the first egg. Possible first hatch of our 3 eggs: Feb. 17
What do you all think - is that stick lying across our eagle?
Moon is so full when the clouds don't cover it...
I think the stick is sticking more UP rather than across the eagle but the angle does make it look like it's laying almost on her.
Good Lynn I needed another opinion. When they switch I guess we'll see if it is in the way.
I think the official full moon is early tomorrow morning, maybe? Did mEGGan give us a name for this one?
Checking out TV programs
Jo I was wondering the same thing earlier but came to the conclusion it is sticking up in air not on back.
Lots of tv tonight Jo and I even have to tape some tee hee
Lynn...Fire last night was a barn behind Dr. Soule's former house. Burned to the ground!
Well, blog cop got me.
Love the PUDU baby. Thanks, Lynn.
Jo, Jo, you won't believe it but on my way home from getting my "do" done, I saw a Sheetz tanker on the road. Thought my highlight chemicals had gotten to me.
Also, Jo, hope you had a fun Alexis time as I guess you're home now.
Lynn2, plead the 5th. My confession was coerced. Have to blame Andy because Jim has bailed on CA responsibility.
Yep, wild woman with a cane on the loose in D.C., Dana. Hope you're doing okay.
Lolly, I am so sorry you and Jack are leaking. Other than that, I hope the laptop gets fixed -- maybe the leaking, too.
Lynn, left ankle so this car is not a problem. Going to check to see if you've posted about Mai's training tonight.
BBL
Just looked. From the camera angle, it looks as if a small twig like piece of wood is above Belle's back but not resting on her back. May have been blown by wind. We'll know after a switch or a change in position.
Wanda, all animals were safe from the barn fire, please?
Hi,
Getting ready to go upstairs. Worked hard today. My brain has quit.
Evening Everyone!
Belle is lovely in the 6 PMish light! Can't believe Full Moon isn't until Fri. It's really big now.
I am not actually on the battlefield proper, just close by. But I am sure that plenty of the action took place around here. There are homes on the official battlefield property, though.
And, actually, it is kind of hard to say where the battlefield ends. I drive through areas where there are signs that say you are passing through a battlefield when you are on a main highway. I pass through both Wilderness and Chancellorsville on the way home from work.
JUDIE, I don't know about the animals yet. I will let you know after reading the paper in the morning.
Evening all.
Busy day at work, didn't even get a chance to peek in on the nest or the blog.
I forgot to email Steve about the sound...I take it we have none at present?
Took Nugz for a walk tonight...couple of sprinkles out there.
Caltrans has 2 eggs, 2nd one laid on the 15th, I think.
Oh, and the Seal Rocks nest on Catalina has 2 eggs...TH shouldn't be far behind.
Speaking of the TH nest, both are there now
Going to watch Criminal Minds....
Talk with you all later....
Finally made it back.....actually got home an hour ago, but had to feed Mai and ME----got a pizza from the Hut!
Mai was a hyper handful tonight. Would NOT settle down. Little rip.
Criminal Minds is on.
Wanda, thanks for info on barn. So that WASN'T the Lemaster place??
Judie, you've got email!
Loretta, sent you email yesterday!
Lily's cubs are a boy and a girl. The naming contest starts tomorrow, not sure but I think it will be done on FB.
Thanks, Wanda.
Well, it's that time again. Tomorrow is a wannabe adult day. Hope to finish up serial homicide lecture so next week can be videos of interviews then the exam.
Shirley, had a thought about the student who hides her text. Maybe you should try this: "Oh, by-the-way, I see you left your book hidden behind others on the shelf -- you might want to take it home to do some reading." Have to admit, that is something I would do but then, I am not always nice.
Headed across the hall to bed. Turning my light off but will leave the night light on for others coming in, headed back the hallway, up the stairs, to the tub, stumbling around in the dark, or coming in the from CA. Pleasant dreams.
and be sure to leave your cane nearby in case we need that too !
Good Night Judie xoxo
everything upstairs has been quiet, so far...confirmed new neighbors upstairs, one couple, one 3 year old...they have not finished moving in yet.
maybe the parents work, and the child will go to day care
☺
both eagles still on the nest at TH...wonder if there will be an egg laying tonight?
I think that would be better Margy than an 8 yr old.
Yes, Dana...think so...
Okay Paula, going to check TH - don't think I can be on egg watch with you and Lolly like we were last year - I have to work tonight
xoxo later pals
Oh it is beautiful, at Two Harbors !!
but not as beautiful as NCTC !
but they have infrared and we don't
big :(
Lolly:
I like the added sun on your avatar ☺ ☼
New Criminal Minds version---like a couple of the actors real well.
Ad time.
Hi, Margy. You have email.
Hope you have a good night. Also hoping that the new neighbors are quiet and repectful.
OMG---just saw preview for Blue Bloods episode Fri. My Tom Selleck's character is in the hospital....:(
Hello Eagle folks.
I looked at TH and there are two adults on the nest at this time. Haven't seen that for awhile.
Paula, I think TH eagles they are coming up next!
Which nest is the Seal Rocks? Is that PH or WE?
Yea for Judie! Go girl.
Looks like a sticky is laying across Belle. It must be suspended above and looks like it's across her beak.
Time for nightly exercise i.e. hitting the hay!
Good night and prayers for you ♥
Good evening! LOL Kind of late, aren't I? Jack took my laptop to Mike. He thinks there is something wrong with the windows program I have been trying to use to burn cd's. Now using a software program and have been burning cd's. Finally!
Sorry, Lynn, sounds like Mai was not the good girl she was supposed to be for you.
Need to go look at the TH nest.
Oh, wow, have not ever seen two eagles in a nest at night and a minute ago they were both tucked. Double wow!
Eagle in the nest at TH just laid an egg I think!
Eagle was acting "funny", then called out, and the other eagle came over and stuck it's head in the egg cup. It is a deep egg cup!
That nest is HUGE! Maybe did not lay an egg, but they are acting strange.
Wray is at the WE nest, too. I swear K81 just told K82 to hop off that rock and lay an egg!
What's going on in CA tonight?
It sure is Lolly, deep...
keep watching, this could make you two for two on the egg drop there
I've lost still cam, FWS thing?
WE is kind of gnarly for me
both those sites really slow down my computer
guess it could be birthing season out thataway
Full Moon "goes full" at 0336 Friday morning the 18th so it will look plenty full Thursday night before that happens
I think it is so neat that K81 stands by for the egg drop, believe he pretty much did the same last year
LOL I was not even paying any attention at all to their wing blings! Guess 81 did not lay an egg after all. LOL Need to pay more attention to who's on first.
got my still cam back for NCTC
and sound turned way up at TH while I get ready for work
Lady Blackwater is not asleep yet I don't think
What's the problem with the WE cam? Looks like the nest is under water. LOL
Please excuse any lack of H's. My h key is sticking and have to press hard. Sometimes I forget.
Turtle Creek just laid their second one!
Finished my TV shows - need to read comments....
Lady BW seems to have been checking eggs when cam when night-night
WE was all discumbobulated for me Lolly,
I've lost NCTC again
and I have to get ready for work !
will check things at work computers..
Good Night Everyone - especially those on active Egg Drop Watching !
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
Night Jo! Maybe an eaglet at BW tomorrow!
Good tv tonight new Criminal show yes good actors. Like the show.
Prayers for Kari's surgery tomorrow.
Prayers for Bette hope she is doing better.
Night leaving with prayers for those that need them whether people or creatures.
Well, Mai! I wonder why little miss
sociable misbehaved. Hope it wasn't anything serious.
The cheetahs and lions are sleeping. Well the lions are not in their usual den area - just one adult! Beware - 7 lions on the loose.
Looks as though everything is calm in the nest! Time for me to find mine..
Lunch tomorrow with co-workers - Catch up time.
Good Night Everyone
Sound sleep and pleasant dreams
Prayers for all of God's creatures large and small.........
Hugs to All .......♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Margy, WE is gnarly for everyone!
Can't stay up on egg watch tonight! Will have to check them both tomorrow!
Well, phone calls have kind of messed up the end of my show......paused it so now trying to watch. Then to catch the news.
Worrying about Christie....no return call from her this evening....she's supposed to fly out of Indianapolis at 7:30AM, heading home.
Got a Valentine from my sister today---there was a PetSmart gift card enclosed!! Cool.
Kind of sorry to hear of so much egg-laying activity out west. That bad weather coming in doesn't sound like the right kind for roosting eagles and eggs. :(
Would love to stay and chat, but just too exhausted. This girl is wearing me out...and down.
Prayers for all. Will see you sometime tomorrow. Supposedly Carolyn is bringing a co-worker so I can do her taxes.....but she fialed to firm things up, so now I DON'T KNOW.....
Night, Lynn! So sorry you are feeling so tired this evening. Get to bed and get a good nights sleep.
Okay everyone last call for me too
thanks Paula for the WE info..
Lynn - hoping you will hear from your precious one Christie...
Hope Sleep is Sweet, and restorative for all...
because after all...
Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of our lives ☺
Prayers for Dana's young friend Kari for the surgery Thursday...
and prayers for wellness for all
xox ☺
Nite Margy! See ya tomorrow!☺
I have decided the TH cam has frozen. Those two have not moved in ages.
Must say goodnight. Our Mike arrived this afternoon for a few days (I hope) and I'll need my rest to deal with these guys.
Ms. Coppertone, I hope you soon get a handle on that little girl Mai.
Meggan, hope you have a very prosperous year and if you need to get rid of some flowers...I like white daisies. Seem to have trouble growing them here.
Prayers for all needs and wants.
God bless you all.
Now the TH eagles are moving around. 82 hopped down to the egg cup and stuck her head down in it. The 81 came over, pushed her aside, stuck his head in the egg cup. She is now back on the rock and he is once again messing with the egg cup. Crazy birds!
Jack is watching the STARS. Think I am going to read and keep an eye on TH.
A lot of good TV tonight, more tomorrow night. American Idol is getting down to the nitty gritty now...very interesting.
Survivor comes on at the same time, so, we will have to tape it every Wed. Looks like it will be good.
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
BLESSINGS AND PRAYERS FOR ALL
Nite all! No action at TH.
Sweet dreams!
HELLO any night owls...
will check in from time to time to see if you are chirping
I cannot get Two Harbors up....security protected here at work :(
Belle seems to be awake...
I'm awake, good, I have company ☺
Belle is tucked in, lots of nightlight our nest guess the moon is out in Shepherdstown
Lady Blackwater seems to be tucked in also
Finland Water nest has sunlight
How bout that pretty Belle - can really see her this morning!
Good Morning Margy!
morning Lori !
I just went outside real quick, Moon is setting...looks beautiful, good thing daylight is approaching soon...
can you get Blackwater Lori...?
she looks pretty...
always does...
this could be the BIG day for that Eagle pair and one of the 3 egglets...
would be right on schedule if so
got some paperwork to take care of here...back soon as I can...
Have a Good Day...
OH how WONDERFUL! I just checked in on Lady Blackwater. The thought of seeing an eaglet is more than I can handle! I'll be a giddy mess. Can you imagine when Belle & Lib's eaglets come?
So you know when Belle & Lib's eggs are expected to hatch?
I hope you're having a great morning and got some sleep yesterday!
Belle is craning her neck underneath each side and front adjusting something under her. Egg? Maybe she's just getting comfy.
Lori
generally
incubation is 32-36 days
first egg NCTC Feb 5
Second egg Feb 8
someone else will do better on those facts and put month and date names on them for you for hatching expectation
LADY OR LORD BLACKWATER OFF THE 3 EGGS
I saw LB off the eggs! Get's you tickled doesn't it?!?!?
sure does Lori...
sure there will be posts on here about it through the day..hope you can check in...
I better start finishing my work...before 0800 -
In case I don't make it back:
See You next time...and
Best Wishes everyone for a good day...
xox
Thanks Margy. You too.
Be sure to get some rest. :)
If my calculations are correct the first NCTC egg could hatch Tuesday, March 8.
That would be 32days from Feb. 5 - I included the laid date of 2/5. ☺
Fly in! and a switch
wow.....
two at NCTC with a switch and sweet egg-tending
and the 3-egglets are all alone briefly at BWE---
need a split screen here !
Today's nest weather-Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 60s. South winds 5 to 10 mph.
Don't forget, full moon Friday- 3:36 A.M.- the full snow moon
Tuesday's barn fire
Good morning Megan.
BIG BUMMER - piglets died in the barn fire. Ah that breaks my heart.
Thanks for the Barn Fire link.
I'm a total news hound so I really appreciate it.
Have a great day all. I'll be busy for a little while trying to keep my focus. I'll check back later and hope they get a healthy eaglet at Blackwater today!
Good morning all!
Sorry that Mai was such a pill at class last night Lynn. UGH.
Sure is going to be a pretty day! Too bad I'll be at work for it! Maybe I'll open the office window and let some fresh air in...
Anyone doing the Backyard Bird Count that starts tomorrow? I'm all ready!
There have been DOZENS of small earthquakes in Arkansas over the last week or so, and this morning there was a 4.0. Big enough to make OUR local news! Much investigation going on as to why. Some speculation that the gas and oil company pumping waste water at high pressure into the earth may have something to do with it...MTBR
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
I guess all eyes will be on Lord and Lady Baltimore today. I'm sure Lisa has her eyes peeled on that nest. Just like waiting on a grandchild to be born:)
Saddened to hear about the baby piggys perishing in that barn fire.
It could have been worse...our neighbor (Lemaster) keeps his hefers on that property, but they must have been in the field. Don't know who that property belongs to.
$125,000 loss is not a lot for a barn...must not have had very much equipment in there. Hope they had insurance!
Good morning Lynne,
Very interesting about the earthquake, gas/oil company connection. Hmmmm.
Lolly - love the eagles with the heart AND sunshine! You're good at that!
Good morning Wanda, to you and Capt. Gene who makes the greatest beans!
Hope everybody got their dose of Criminal Minds last night.
BB this evening. Hoping for an eaglet at BWater. ☺
Have a joy-filled day!
Oh - just checked Two Harbors.
There's an eagle on the side of the nest, but no one sitting on the nest cup. It's still dark there, but easy to see.
Good morning eagle friends! Looks like 2 eggs for us this year, huh? Hope everyone is having a great day! It is beautiful here, has been for a couple of days now. I wonder if spring fever is fatal? I am riding down to the lake this afternoon. Need to take some measurements on the boat for the new furniture we got for it!!
There have been stories about horse farms here in Raleigh County and in Greenbrier County that were owned by Grady Whitlock (used to own car lots). Dozens of horses found starved to death on both farms. Animal cruelty is so horrible!!
I'm very saddened by the loss of the baby pigs in the barn which caught fire. Thank you Megan, for the link, though tough to read about...
I believe the cows were in the pasture, Wanda
Good Morning, Sissy, and everyone else ☼
dentist app't in a short while for me
be back on much later today...
xoxo
Can ya'll get on the NBG cam? I have not been able to all morning. :(
from FB
Eagles at Norfolk Botanical Garden
Eagle Cam is currently down -- we're working to get it fixed, hang tight!
Thanks for the info, I can quit restarting then!! LOL!!
Same here Lynne, but BLACKWATER is nice and bright and ready for chicklet #1:)
Good Morning ALL in Eagleland
Seen the fly in at our nest just awhile ago and then had to shut down and restart computer.
Please remember to pray for Kari's surgery today. Thank you
The guys that lost the little chic/pug but up some flyers. Yesterday while I was out I had more printed in larger print and posted them around. I pray someone has that poor little one inside. Cold night.
I looked more around again. Wonder why my gas was so low then remember 2 hrs of riding around the day before. lol gas goes if you drive dana lol
Pitch yourself as Norma would say Margy at the Dentist.
Lynne2 yep open a window.
Sorry about those piggies :( sad. There is a farm here and whenever we would pass it (and I still do) always look for the new piggies.
Looks like food in the nest. Wonder what was brought in.
See our two eggs turning and picking at the fluff and then wiggle wiggle down. (:
Watching BWE and she turned too fast. Don't even think she raised up.
Did you see that brave or stupid blackbird at the underedge of our nest? He may be BRUNCH, if he's not careful:)
LOL Wanda, just noticed your new "hunk" avatar!
Well, I've lurked as long as I can but must get ready for work now. Hope everyone has a great day!
NBG is back up:)
Lynne, those two are part of Denise's Pool Boys Team;)
Have a good day, Lynne and don't forget to open the window;)
Thanks for the heads up Wanda!! Love that cam. The only way it could be better would be if it were Belle and Lib in that nest!!!
LOL, Lori...Capt. Father Gene made those "Gene's Beans" for our Soup Kitchen and loved them...have requested to have them again:)
It would be wonderful if our cam was that good. Maybe someday.
Good morning er-e-one!!
Morning Sharon (:
Yes Wanda for some reason little birds I guess are just not big enough for food for Lib or Belle. That happens often a little bird in or around the nest.
Does anyone ever have their toolbar at the top disappear but when you put the cursor up there it is there????
I would estimate egg hatching dates for our nest at around 36-38 days...which would be March 13-15 for the first egg and March 16-18 for the second egg.
Dana, I have mine at the bottom of my screen, and I have it set to do that as well. If you want to change it, right click on the toolbar and select properties, then uncheck auto hide. Then your toolbar will always stay on your screen
Are we still without sound?
Morning all. Waiting for Carolyn and her co-worker to arrive.
Sad news....10 pigs (2 adult a nd 8 piglets) died in the barn fire Tues. night. Another sow was badly burned. :(
Don't see any action at BWE----she hasn't been off the eggs since I brought cam up, so don't know if there are any pips or not.
Paula
Thank you for the egg hatching information,
sorry I mis-stated it earlier...
will cut and paste your update to an email to Lori !
I do not have sound at live feed
but I do have a dentist app't in 20 mins
so, bye !
Paula it even takes the mininize and the red x away. Can't see it only happens sometimes. If you put cursor at top it is there ???
Good morning everyone. I too have been wondering when the due dates are. Thanks Paula. I'm watching a lot lately but being the quiet man, I only speak occasionally.
Good morning everyone. Hope your day will be a good one. Thanks for info on Hatch dates for our nest Paula
Dana, most people have the blue task bar at the bottom of the screen. You can move it by closing all open windows then click your mouse on it and hold the mouse button down then you can drag the task bar to the bottom.
Morning REd and Glo...
Dana you are talking about a different toolbar...Go to view toolbars and check the ones that you want to see all the time...you might have to fool around with it a little bit to get what you want.
REd, I think she's talking about the toolbar in IE
Yes IE whole top line including the miniz button square button red x button back button forward button
file edit view favorites too help all of the top sometimes just disappears but if you put cursor up there it is there.
Good morning! It is just so unbelievable the beautiful weather we are all having. A little scary, wondering when winter will hit again. Love seeing Belle sitting in the sunsine.
Going to do a little house work and then do serious computer work. Jack has the external drive working now, have backed up all pictures, and now I am going to do serious burning of cd's.
Picked two daffodils yesterday. Most daffodils are going to be blooming in a couple of weeks. The ones by my greenhouse were damaged, so do not know how they will do. Also, saw where my Mt. Laurel was also damaged. Grrrr!

Anyone else hear a dog barking?
Just realized we have sound again. I hear the children on the playground. Waoooooo!
I heard it Paula. Funn! I had TH up and was listening to it and enjoying the sound. I closed it down, continued to hear sound and was thinking it was coming from TH. Duh! I had closed it!!!
That was supposed to be "funny".
Good Morning - I am on the run!!
Beautiful day and oh how I wish I were
able to be on the Appalachian Trail.
My hiking days are over :(
I am off for lunch with co-workers from my past - I love getting with them
They always make me feel how grateful I am to be retired!
All nest look calm - I'll be in touch
this afternoon.
Lynne - Jenny always does Cornell's backyard count! I may attempt it this year.......... Keep me posted..
