THANKS STEVE FOR THE NEW THREAD
GOOD MORNING EAGLE PALS
CAPS, OOOOOPPS SORRY KEYBOARD SET ON THAT
HA HA AT FIRST I TYPED PPPOOOOOPS
NO BROOD PATCH on the deceased eagle????? Well now, hope remains then!
Oh, there you are !
Thanks Lynne
10-4 you an Wanda on the Red Bud Heart Leaves
Margy, I put those forget me not seeds in the ground in a specific place. There is stuff growing there, but I'm not sure what FMN seedlings look like....I'm going to take a pic tonight and send it to you so you can maybe let me know!
I'm up to my eyeballs in charts to write....BBL!
We really can wait until April 2012
to get together - However us locals would love to have a gathering with anyone wanting to
come up this summer or fall -
that way we could all get through
the winter knowing Spring was when
we would have a big to do!
okay Lynne I'll be watching for it
just had to plant some new seeds this season myself...
time to get back to work
See You Later, and Hello on the New Thread Everyone
xox
....sign....am totally disappointed also about no Open House in October...
that is such a beautiful time of the year in these parts too...
oh well...will look for those silver linings
and look forward to any local gatheringas as well...

From previous thread Hedgie said:
We have some bad news to share.......info received from Steve stating that Open House will NOT occur this fall. NCTC is planning to incorporate their open house with Earth Day next April. This is very disappointing.....especially for those who were planning to travel from afar. We are still mulling our options......any suggestions are welcome. :( :(
I'm taking a break
Lunch break that is....... BBILW
Thanks Jo - - I just went from one thread to the other like pages of a book, forgot that it might not make any sense out of context and would also be a shock of sorts
thanks also Paula for pointing us in the direction and putting the info on here regarding the May 25 update on NCTC Eagle Cam Page
Thelma, Good to See you!! (((Hugs)))
I thought the body of the deceased eagle was too decomposed to tell if there was a brood patch???
TEAM LIBERTY!!!!
And Margy, I think it bears repeating
NCTC Update
May 25, 2011
Things have quieted down at the nest with occasional visits by both the resident female and what appears to be our new resident male. We'll have to wait until next season to hopefully get another clutch.
There has been no sign of the old resident male, and unfortunately the remains of an adult bald eagle were found on the NCTC property recently. The condition of the bird was very poor, so it is unlikely that we will ever know if the bird was our original resident male. Because of the proximity and degree of decomposition there is a possibility that it was "our" bird, however it did not have a brood patch (a patch of skin on the belly where adult birds with eggs or young offspring have removed feathers in order to better incubate their young). While we would anticipated that the resident male that has been nesting at NCTC in recent years would have had a brood patch, we will never know for certain whether this deceased eagle was in fact the resident male.
Yeah, me too. If that's the case, then I would have to wonder about that. We could see a brood patch on Liberty when we visited the nest the day Paddy died.
From what Steve said, that's what I thought too, Sharon.
Da%n, I was just getting some acceptance in my heart!
Sent this message on Momster mail, but repeating here in case some miss out on the yahoo mailings.
They are right. The only way we'd ever know differently is if Liberty happened to show up at the nest one day. Seems unlikely and I think we can take Belle's behavior as a sign that she's moving on. How about we follow her example, always holding his memory dear, but accepting reality. JMHO Kay
Here is the message I sent to Lynn regarding the disappointing delay of Open House at NCTC:
What a bummer ! As for me, I couldn't figure on a visit in October and also being able to attend in April, so I vote for resetting our sights on the time when NCTC is available to us and when we should be able to see our precious eagles in all their glory. Meantime you locals could get together in special tribute to Liberty perhaps. We're big kids and can adjust ! Looks like 2011 will have to go down in history as a dark year for us as devoted eagle watchers. Let's all pray for a glorious 2012 ! Hugs, Kay
----------------------------------------------------------------------A Big Left Turn Now--the brood patch comment does open the mind to a possible different reality !!!! By April we should pretty well know what's up with our beloved eagles and the nest. Then we can truly relax and celebrate being together !
LORI and PAULA, thanks so much for good advice on the Dwarf Alberta Spruce. I was all geared up and ready to go to the nursery today. However, the weather is lousy and gave me time to rethink my strategy. Big light bulb went off ! My Michigan grandson and granddaughter both have summer jobs at a nursery up there and have had for several years. Everything starts to go on sale there as soon as Memorial Day is over. That's true here, too, I know. Meantime, I'm going to have my deck power washed and ready a lovely home for my new little tree.
Bouncing back and forth between yahoo mail and here. Bev sent this beautiful outlook in an e-mail message:
"This is how I choose to feel about Liberty . And with a name like that, how can one not feel that he is flying free over new territory. Fly free Liberty and hopefully we will see you again."
I do so like that perspective !!!!!
Memorial Day Weekend...
May the Remeberance be sweet and full of Gratitude, Love and Pride in the lives of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice...Thinking of you all and knowing you will find a way to say a Thank You to those who serve now and those who served in the past.
Jo, Sheetz is just amazing! LOL---they pay you to shop! Geesh!
Sissy wondered about going to Blackwater----told her it was a good 3-4 hr. drive from S'town. :(
Iris says lets' do our own thing in Oct. anyway.....
Jo, did you call Jennifer and let her know that she can free up the room?
Wanda, what is ditilina's? Not fmamiliar with that dish.
Good Morning/afternoon everyone...
Paula, Thanks for the posting of the NCTC report update.Some questions remain but in my heart I think Liberty is gone and I feel very sad about it...
Sorry about the change of date for the Open House.
A posting on WOW, which reportedly comes from OC, Terri says "an army of ants ate the cable" that connects the camera to the feed!!!!
Things get stranger by the minute as to what is reportedly posted on OC...I asked for the exact posting and have not heard yet.
Well, don't know who Terri is, Hoda....but strange that NCTC hasn't relayed that.....maybe Paula can ask Steve since she's been communicating about the cam.
I plan to call Jennifer at the Clarion - just wanted to be sure the group was going to plan NOT to get together.
Today is the 27th when Jennifer is there.
LYNN, boo-hoo, just cxld my res. at Comfort Inn. :( At least I can hope to see both you and DANAMO as you pass through Columbus sometime this year !
What is the brand of your NOAA radio ? I've procrastinated long enough. Judging by articles in the newspaper I've missed hearing two city wide tornado warning alarms. Time to buy a NOAA !!!!!
HODA, I'm stifling my urge to ROFL over the army of ants comment and the hilarioius images it's conjuring up for me ! Sure as I give into that urge we'll learn that Terri is spot on. I googled "ants eating cable" and learned it has happened, somewhere, some time. Seems there is something sweet about the lining of the cable and certain ants find it gourmet fare.
Guess I'm heading for the Lenox sale after all. Ccarolyn will be here by 2! Sure hope the bad weather stays away! Here and everywhere!
Kay, my radio is an All Hazards by Oregon Scientific. Can't remember now what I paid but I think maybe in the $40 range. Got it for Mom originally when she moved to MO but she claimed it didn't work. I had it programmed properly so I don't know what the problem was. I brought it home and it works just fine here. Sis bought Mom a different one---probably a more expensive one! It seems to work...I suspected that the fact that she is right next to an emergency communications radio tower MAY have had something to do with----interference of some kind maybe.
Hi, Gang,
Checking in to say Good Morning/Afternoon! Can't talk for long, though--lots to do today.
Wow, it's really good to see that Crunch, Thelma, and Megan have all been here! Miss you when you're gone!
Megan, hope there were no flower disasters with the horrible weather you've had back there! Prayers for everyone in the stormy areas!
Very interesting info about why dogs sniff so much! I KNOW how important it is to Emma, so let "Miss
Snuffle-up-agus" inhale deeply while out and about! Most of the time, I take her out to our parkway to go potty, just because so many neighbors walk their dogs past our house. Emma gets SO busy sniffing, she almost forgets to go potty! She is DEFINITELY nose-oriented!
Sorry to hear of the change of date for the Open House! Although the new date will be very busy with Earth Day stuff, we will know who our eagle couple will be by then. Good that we found out about it this far ahead, so plans can be changed. I think that those close to NCTC should get together anyway in October! Why not?!
Well, I need to go find one of my red shirts and make myself presentable. Have some errands to run. Prayers that everyone will have a wonderful RED FRIDAY! Will check back in later. :o]
Sky is getting heavy....sun is in....severe storm watch until 8pm...

"Update: An army of ants have damaged the cabling from the camera at the tree. It's going to be a few more days before the NCTC can get the live feed restored. Thanks for your patience."
The above quote came from the OC website. Terri directed me to post number 22 in Camera Problems Thread.
It appears to be genuinely from OC, it has their logo.
PA Falcon News 5/27/2011
The Fledge
The little male ran the length of the ledge and took flight at 9:15 AM. He landed on nearby building. Within 15 minutes he was on top of the Rachel Carson State Office Building, his home building. Soon after, he returned to the nest ledge where he was rewarded with a meal. This fledgling now holds the record for earliest fledge and quickest return to the ledge. Watch and rescue crews will continue to track his whereabouts and ensure that if he gets into trouble they can respond and keep him out of harms way.
Go day to you Jim!
OK wish me luck, headed to yoga and to the dentist afterwards. Hopefully the cleaning does not reveal that I need any major work. Thank God for Dental Insurance...they pick up the tab, all I have to do is sit in the chair and pray...
The wires or cables that lead to our Cam, probably have a covering made of soy beans. That is what attracts the ants and other critters.
We had squirrels to chew many wires into, under our Motor Home and it cost an arm and a leg to have them all replaced. Gene has done something with duct tape to keep them away...so far, so good.
NCTC may have to set ant traps to keep them away from the cam wires:(
Ha Ha, soybeans not apparently a good choice for outdoor cable use, if that's what they are made from!
Whew ! Sure glad I didn't poke fun at the notion of an army of ants chewing through the cable. Remember some of the strange sounds we've heard around the camera at times ? Those little buggers put on an all out offensive and won the battle ! Hmmm, NCTC putting out traps, I dunno. They're pretty adam-ant in their philosophy regarding wildlife and letting what happens happen with no human intervention.
LYNN, thanks for the radio info. I like personal endorsements ! Hope you and Carolyn found some great bargains at the Lenox sale. We had a Lenox discount store in the outlet mall in Laughlin, NV. Enjoyed shopping for gifts there !
JO, love the descriptive way "The Fledge" is written. You can just see the whole scene in your minds eye, can't you ?
ANDY, LOL, "Miss Snuffle-up-agus !
HODA, hope you're going to be able to say, "Look momsters, no cavities !"
Yes, Kay, this little falcon
is setting records. I pray for him
to stay safe!
Well at least now we know why we don't have a cam. Can't wait until next week when I can get up early and drive over there. I miss Belle and Truder (and all his antics).
I see Lynne 2 commented that there was no brood patch on the deceased eagle. Is that the eagle that was found badly decomposed on NCTC grounds?
Yes, Dana, see the post at 12:03 on this thread
Just found it. Thanks
Paula
Are you heading "South" tonight?
If so, Happy Trails to you and Nugz...anyone else joining you?
Good Afteroon Eagle Pals
xoxo
just realized what a long time it has between last post before mine and mine
going to walk the neighborhood and try to get the lead out
ttfn xoxox ☺
Great news about the Peregrine Fledge in Harrisburg, Jo
Thanks for that information...
Back from town.
WOW that little guy fledged and made a record.
It just said on tv "the medications used to make GOOD CHOLESTROL has NOT PROVED to change anything about the heart". Only taking the cholestrol meds for bad helps.
Getting ready to "head south"...gotta pick up my bro...probably won't be on til midnight.
Have a good evening!!
(((Hugs to all ♥)))
Safe travels Paula and Nugz!
Prayers for safe travels Paula, her brother and Nugz. Rub Nugz behind the ears for me. ( :
Minn. Loon just checked eggs. Couldn't see them though.
KAY... Look Momsters NO cavities!!! ;^) !!! I do however have to look ahead, and I preapproved them to get approval from my insurance company for a crown.It won't happen before October they think as they are already fully booked.It is OK as my insurance picks up half the tab for the crown so I think it will cost me around 500 dollars...They all seem awfully young to me and they are always very kind and gentle and ask if there is anything I need, all while working on my mouth...don't get much of a chance to answer but smile at their consideration. They load me up with tooth brushes, sulka brushes, and dental floss and walk me to the door wishing to see me again in good health in a few months...it always makes me smile. They are kind.
For a treat I went out to the French Bakery in town and got myself a Camembert cheese and red pepper on French bread Sandwich and also a wonderful chocolate cookie...it is my treat for going to the dentist and I always feel like a little girl when I go there so I follow it up with this treat.
Don't have to be back there again before October but I suspect I will stop at the French Bakery before then... ;^)
I'm back and caught up on here and email!
LOL.....ants! I DO know that ants are attracted to anything that has current running through it. When my sister lived here, they had electrical outlet boxes FULL of breeding ants. I had one place where an electric line was going outside to a floodlight, and after finding big p--s ants in the basement, Bill started looking and found a nest behind the insulation at that spot. He was an electrician once upon a time (as was his mom Rose) and they both said that they are attracted to current. It would be wise to encase any outdoor wiring in PVC pipe and seal the ends, NCTC!
Safe Travels Paula, Nugz and Bro...may the winds be at your backs and the roads clear ahead of you...
I got a few things at the Lenox sale.....both of the grandgirls have birthdays next week---got them each a porcelain Birthstone Guardian Angel statue!! Got a lovely set of 3 gold Christmas trees for my collection, and a couple of other gift items. Spent $69 and the receipt says I saved $203! If anyone was in need of tableware or silverware or wine glasses, or porcelain picture frames----selection was quite good!
They also had nice serving platters and various types of trays, some charger plates, and a lot of other holiday items!
SHIRLEY-----stay safe!! Severe warnings for you!
Blogger cop is acting out again!
We are okay. It seems that there was damage very close, it seems. Salem Church Road is very near us.
Has it already passed you??? Whew! Good!
Headed towards Susan, Rus, and Judie.
We are watching Ch. 9. Chancellor area of Spotsylvania County--that is where we live.
Glo posted this on FB.....get out the tissues.
Norfolk Mom Tribute
But it was not so bad here.
Stay safe all who are in a weather advisory area...thinking of you...
Trying to get in touch with Will.
Threatening here, but nothing yet.
Sofa time for Jeopardy. BBIALW.
Thanks Hedgie/Lynn for the Tribute to the Norfolk Mom...
Okay, heard from Will. He is at work. He said it got bad there.
Kathryn and Hunter have gone out shopping for baseball pants. He has practice tomorrow and demolished his practice pants last time.
The Eaglet known as NV, from Norfolk, fledged today at 10:17 AM EDT, 71 days after it hatched. I saw the posting on their site under the discussion forum...
Thanks Lynn-Hedgie for the tribute for Norfolk Mom. I am crying like a baby.
If Liberty does not show up during the next season. I would love a video for someone to do for him.
This above video also has me crying for our Sweet ♥Liberty♥
Starting to get thunder here and very dark skies. Will be shutting down till it is over.
Everyone take care and take cover.
@hedgie: thanks for finding and posting the YouTube "Norfolk Mom Tribute" - I thought I was done crying - natch sobbing - and again we have hope that Liberty might have recognized the threat that Truder brought and left his lady love and continues to fly - that was posted on my birthday - that was a REALLY NICE present.
TEAM LIBERTY FOREVER!
Good evening! Worked in the yard, then after cleaning up made a delivery and "grossery" shopped.
We had over 40 years of Natl. Geographics to give away. Delivered them to a teacher at one of the elementary schools. Asked a friend who is a librarian. She did not want them but put out a word. I gave Jack a CD that has all the old NG on it. Pretty cool, huh? Ahhhh...empty book shelves!!
Well, who would have thought they would mess up the plans for NCTC Open House!! That just stinks. I did not plan on being there, but think you should go ahead with your fall plans and see if NCTC will open up for you, including the gift shop!!!! Waiting a whole year to get together and truly meeting the newbies just "ain't" right!!! Dog gone it all!
Storming here now.
So, some of you are still having storms? We woke to 66 this morning but it climbed to 95 this afternoon and they are predicting over 100 tomorrow. The parking lot at the grossery store was yukky! Wahhhhh! I do not want summer!!!!!!!
Just looked at radar and see your storms.
Evening everyone in Eagleland.
Starting to sound nasty here~~~thunder, lightening, etc.
Must read back & emails--about eagle & NO open house???
BBL
Lost Internet and television for awhile.
I see your storm on the radar, Lynn.
Really tough to have no eaglet to watch at our nest, the loss of Liberty, and now no open house. We do need to gather somehow.
Irene, is today your birthday?????
Let me know and I'll sing for you!
Hoda, glad your dental visit went well. Your treat sounds yummy!
That's really great that NBG eaglet fledged!!
Storm abating now.....at least the rain wasn't as bad as last night and no hail....but did lose satellite for awhile.
Thunder storm went through with heavy downpour of rain (no hail)
Still rumbling off in the distance.
Story from Kristen (Meme) today
while watching 4 of her 5 grandkids
She told them that 'we are going to have a practice tornado drill'
Sophia said "I'll get the First aid
kit" Anthony said he wanted to be the siren..Marcus was too much of
an infant to do much of anything but Donavon who just turned 2 in March - well he kept running in
circles around the room hollering
"Tomato - Tomato - Tomato"
Love it JO
that's Dear !
nah, it was the 25th the same day that NCTC apparently posted that update - I thought I was reading the old one until they said the eagle did NOT have a brood patch - I'm not sure HOW they know that if the eagle was in such a bad state when found - but I'll take it! And sing anyway, Lynn!
♪♪♫♫♪♪ Happy Belated Birthday
Hope it was a special day for you
I have not seen any Little Loonie
yet - I've been watching most of
the day. Looks like fog is
moving in over the lake.
Checking on Itchy Withers Farm but
Lacey and Lilly aren't inside right
now - Should be dark up there.
The outside cam is still down.
Well, I guess there is an open house. It is just a long time from now.
Lynn, did you find any Lenox items
to bring home?
I posted the Re-imaged Pews on my FaceBook page. I still have to learn how to make one file of them...yet at least you could see where I spent yesterday afternoon.
Auction is tomorrow.
Forgot to tell you that Caro and I had a yummy early dinner at Red Lobster! Appetizer was bacon- wrapped scallops with a peach BBQ sauce served over crsipy onionn rings with pico de gallo---mmm-mmm good!
Well, Irene----here you go anyway:
♫ ♪ HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!♪ ♫
Mema Jo DELIGHTFUL...Tomato Tomato Tomato!!! What JOY!!!Great Grand kids all had a part...even the little one, someone has to be the observer...
Lolly, back in 1985 when we were preparing to move to the new house, we had Nat Geo's dating back to the 30's......had a very hard time even giving them away! Don't remember now who ended up taking them. They DID take up LOTS of shelf space.
Oh, Jo, how cute of the kids!!!! Bet Kristen was in stitches!!
Read the OH news & sent my suggestion.
Well, we got some rain, but all over! Guess I'll be watering flowers myself again!
Jo, I posted earlier about our Lenox trip! They did not have any Lennox's, tho'...:(
Oh yes, forgot to mention the Tomato incident. That is priceless! Wis Art Linkletter's show was still around!
Good evening everyone!
'Tis sad about OH, though I couldn't have made it this year again. Perhaps by April...
Jo, that story about the tomato was just hilarious. Out of the mouths of babes....
Hey Lynn, hi! Don't get to "talk" at ya much. Just want to "hello."
Hope all are safe with these storms. All we got last night was a lot of lightning and thunder. Nothing tonight yet so maybe we're safe for another night but have to water my posies tomorrow.
Had to replace our birds' suet today. The catbirds, downy woodpecker and (believe it or not) a pair of English sparrows. Our local naturalist said on the tv news about 2 weeks ago that the English sparrows were very scarce lately. Not here, they're not.
The local squirrels have mutilated 2 of our feeders but it's fun to watch their antics. Hang from a tree branch upside down to eat the sunflower seeds from a hanging feeder.
Neighbor told me he scared one and when he went up- the tree he hit his head; Bet that was funny.
Have much to catch up with but am at a loss right now to remember...
Countdown for Shirley. Won't be long now. ☺
Paula, you know I'm jealous. Have a good weekend.
Jo, thank you for that tomato story. Read it to Jack and we both had a great laugh. How precious!
Good Night Eagle Pals. I am headed to beddy-bye
Seems like a pretty good day was enjoyed in many of our Eagle Corners
Hope Saturday is the same
Didn't get one drop of rain here at my roost this evening
wonder if we will be able to add any more pictures to the May E-M album, seems doubtful :(
Hope some keen idea of some kind of our own Open House comes along to us, pretty disappointing to all of a sudden stop looking forward to something like that in October
Best wishes for Sweet Sleep
I'm still praying for all those things we talk about here, and then some
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
We had our dinner and then a neighbor cam over to talk about our Expedition. Wanted to know how it does pulling the trailer. Then we walked around the yard. We call it "oversee" the yard. LOL
The yard looks very nice....come on over! I know!!!!! A Momster trip to Texas. I will have Open House! No eagle nest, but you can see my yard!!!!!!
LOL Guess I type "cam" too much. Typed it instead of "came".
Hi, Diann! Tell me about those crazy squirrels! They do the same here with the feeder, but have also unscrewed the perches from reaching for them from the tree and hanging on to them!
I can just picture you and Jack, Lolly, taking your guests on a TOUR of Hawkwood Estates!
Margy, hope you sleep well. You ISS viewing so early wore you out, huh?? Not usualy for you to turn in so early! Tomorrow is your Friday, right?
LOL Would be a short BUT pleasant tour. Would serve wine on the tour!☺
Time to say good night and head upstairs. Keeping up with teenagers is a tiring job. I will see you tomorrow.
Going to say goodnight and watch a movie on tv.
Goodnight Margy and any others leaving now.
Prayers for all needs here and there.
God bless!
We have had such overcast skies that it is not possible for me to watch the ISS fly over...what an experience it would have been
Wanted to post a "Hi" to my eagle friends if only once every day or two!
Still busy with watching my nieces and nephews......and now I know why we have our kids when we're young! They're wearing me out!
Just put the last ones to bed and in my younger days, I would kick into gear when they went down, but now I'm right behind them so I can catch up on my much needed sleep!!
Have missed you all. Don't know if it has been one week or two...
We're having some storms up here and I may end up with a little one or two in bed with me soon!! Scared of thunder and lightening!
So sorry to hear they have cancelled the October Open House. It's such a wonderful time of year then, too. Depending on when they do it in April, it might be a tough one for me.
I would certainly love to try and make whatever is planned with our group, so I'll watch for any of that news.
I'm going to sign off and say good night.
Prayers for all that need and want them. May God richly bless you all this Memorial Day Weekend, whatever your plans.
If I'm lucky, maybe I can check back in tomorrow!
Love and hugs to all ♥♥♥
Linda, know you are exhausted but what a wonderful time to be with your nieces and nephews. Yes, there is a reason why the young have the kids. LOL
Think I am going to put my nose in a book for a while.
Hi Judy....if you are in LM! We miss you!
Wanda, so sorry about your Columbine! Thank goodness the hail has not done major damage to my plants. One elephant ear has a hole through it.
FB is acting up. None of Hoda's posts came through on my page. Went in search of them and found those wonderful pics!!
Judy wrote: "I miss you guys also I'm gonna hang tight for a day or so being I am not the only one that is having issues I hope they do something to fix it I did leave a comment question in an area of google that was free but don't get feed back from anyone that cares only other people that are having the same issue The google expert wanted my credit card before I could leave my question to get a answer So I figure I would try to wait it out, and ask a person in person not on the IE about it They did say it was a IE problem not FireFox or GoogleChrome and what ever the other browsers are . I just might have to download Firefox in the end, I read about deleting my google acct and start over but they said that the blog with all your info would still be out there in limbo and advise as I read to go in from another computer and delete any important info on it i.e. email address or personal info, But that woould not guarentee that I would be able to log on with a new acct if there is a issue with my computer and the IE so I figure wait and see Tell all I said hello and it was nice to LM LM last nite although I could particate atleast I got to read all your guys thoughts I loved what Kay said about Glo and who is Darth and what have I done with him and did I enjoy it LOL"

Good evening all!
Well, worked later than I thought I would, got home in time to watch Daisy yurp her dinner all over the livingroom, but now the carpet has been steam cleaned anyway! Then it stormed, so MARGY....no pics tonight...will get them to you tomorrow.
I've been thinking on this "no brood patch" thing. Seems to me that we were told initially that the body was too decomposed to tell if there was a brood patch. Not that I want to dash anyone's hope, especially my own, but does anyone else remember that? If I'm not mistaken, I think it was in a message to us from Steve via Paula. The other body had no brood patch. I wonder if there was some confusion in that post? Also, I remember thinking they could at least ID male vs female with length of the talon on the rear toe, and depth of the beak. But again, the message was that it was too decomposed to even do that. So then, how could it NOT be too decomposed to ID a brood patch?
Jo, love the Tomato story!!!!
HODA, glad you're cavity free and that you treated yourself to something yummy after being such a good girl !
LYNN, went to OregonScientificStore.com and now have their 50.00 radio headed my way, but for 40.00. I have an idea that it's a never ending "sale".
JO, cute, cute, cute ! The "Tomato Drill" is a priceless !
My Julie, Seth and I went to The Rusty Bucket, akin to Applebee's, for a delicious dinner. Afterward we went to Ohio State's Wetland's, climbing up to the observation tower for a birds eye view of the whole wonderful place. Big excitement was in my spotting a gorgeous Oriole preening atop a high tree limb. It is rare to see one in Central Ohio, we were amazed ! He stayed a long time and then did some flitting about from tree to tree, giving us a good chance to see his bright orange and black coloring. I feel sure he's not alone, but couldn't spot a female or other Orioles. I'm going back at dawn or dusk soon, when I can just sit quietly with binocs and watch the birds in solitude. A huge variety of songbirds, water foul and raptors are at home there. Also home to marmots, muskrats, rabbits.... Julie was in on the ground work of it's development in the late 80's and early 90's. Makes me proud !
wow Kay, sounds like an awesome place and all the more so because of Julie's involvement!
LYNNE, I think we're all asking that "brood patch" question. Hope Steve or someone at NCTC explains the descrepancy in their messages about that.
LINDA, I know how tiring it is to keep up with such young children, you are an angel ! How sweet it is to have such a close relationship with nieces and nephews though.
HODA, thanks for being todays go between for JUDYE ! We miss her ! I can't understand what is going on technically, but know it's very frustrating ! Can't wait to hear it's been fixed and to see her back here with us.
SHIRLEY, I know you've said goodnight, but tomorrow do tell us how the gate duty went.
LOLLY, enjoy your reading. I'm heading for bed now and imagine a few pages of reading will put me right to sleep.
Will say my prayers for all in need and for traveling mercies for Paula and any one else on the roads with the holiday traffic.
I'm going to predict that most of us Early Birds will sleep in for a couple of days since we have no cam. So, we'll see ya when we see ya !

2 Norfolk Eaglets Test their wings
It is good to see the Norfolk Eaglets flying and attempting to fly while the youngest is still observing
SBBC for the week so far is now over 200. They are getting BIGGER, and there is poop, blood, guts, whatever it is all over my walls and blinds. Can't use the sun porch at all to eat or sit and have coffee in the AM. Even as I type, there are several flying around here in the kitchen.....
Lynne 2 how horrid!!!!what are you talking about what is SBBC excuse my ignorance...what ever it is it sounds HORRID!!!
Paula should be checking in in the next half an hour or so...safe end of trip Paula...
Sorry----got sidetracked by a phone call and a puppy who resisted going out or to bed!!! Poor little girl----her mom is so mean! Vet tomorrow for final booster shots. Will ask vet about microchipping, too.
awww, poor puppy!
LOL Hoda! The SBBC is the StinkBug Body Count...as in, how many we have sent down the toilet!
I'll be beach traffic was a nightmare tonight. Although, sometimes heading downy oshun, hon (what the folk in Baltimore say which means, going down to the ocean, hon...HON is big in Baltimore, and there is even a HONFEST every year) isn't so bad when you leave later in the evening. Hope she missed the storms, too.
HONFEST
it's a riot!
JudyE via Glo---so sorry you are still having all these problems. What a snafu! Why not go ahead and install Firefox????
Wow, Kay, sounds like a great time for you! Love the name Rusty Bucket! And sounds like a marvelous place to commune with nature! Way to go, Julie!

Kay, glad you got the radio on order!!! Better safe than sorry....weather has been SO very strange!
Lynne, I have to wonder WHO exactly examined the remains....to change the story, there would have to be two different people....and maybe 2nd person knew more than the first one....As Megan said, she definitely saw Lib's brood patch the day that Paddy passed.
hedgie/Lynn give Liesl a scratch behind the ears for me tomorrow before the vets and I think she has a loving Mom she is a lucky pup that one...
Lynne 2 THANK GOD I now have an idea of what you were talking about...LOL is right what a relief. Stink bugs scare me and they come in the Kootenay Region sometime over the summer. I remember the first time I saw one I was in a panic because it landed on my shoulder...UGH!!!
Whoa! I sure am late getting back
on here this evening. Hubby had
taped a Hallmark movie and then we
watched the news - Then I got to
looking at some very old photos.
So now I am ready to read back
Hoda, my most funny SB story was this past winter, I was making a cake. My step mother Donna called (she lives in PA) and I was on the phone with her as I was icing it. She was right smack in the middle of a detailed story when I felt a tickle on the back of my neck. SO, I swatted my neck, and it was a STINKBUG, and it landed right in the middle of the cake on the icing! Well, I was MORTIFIED, but I couldn't scream because I didn't want to scare Donna! I was freaking out!
yes Lynn, I'd be interested in knowing who had their hands on the eagle.
Lynne, ROFL at your Baltimore-speak!!! How many times have I heard that line!! We had MANY transfers to our plant from "Baltimer".
Will check out the Honfest link in a few.
Calling it a day. Sleep tight, one and all...Prayers and peace.
It appears that all is well except
for the cams......
Good Night my Friends.
Peace be with you always.
Prayers for all of you & yours.
Hugs for my friends. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
OMG this has to be an OMG story Lynne2...I do not know if I could have kept it together regardless of who was on the phone...LOL
Goodnight Mema Jo and thanks for the Tomato Tomato Tomato story... God Bless you and your family.
I have just found my HERO......
and I have to say, I was trying to think up a way to make a trap using a light and haven't been able to figure one out...but this man (oh, and might I say he is from the 'burgh!!) DID IT!!!!!
Stinkbug trap
Hoda, it was NOT easy to keep it together! Especially since my husband Steve was right there when it all happened and he was laughing his skinny butt off!
Lolly, my columbine only lost a branch...rest of plants are intact. They are the most beautiful shade of yellow!
Had a good evening with Family...Ditalinis turned out pretty good...was missing ricotto cheese. Jayden liked it:)
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS FOR ALL
Glad your flowers were not obliterated Wanda! How is GG feeling???
yawn....heading to bed, have a good night and prayers for all!
I was reading what I had missed on the blog and watched the video that Lynne linked us with...that is the same way we make traps for the snails and slugs that try to take over my flower gardens.Works. Now, with the LED light in the bottom of the container, it will surely trap a lot of stink bugs.
Can't wait to try that out!
Lynne, seems GG's new meds are helping with the pain a lot. Hope it continues:) Thanks for asking and thanks for all those sweet BB photos. She keeps them in a folder on her table:)
Nite, Nite♥
Getting on to say good night!
Lynne, I knew immediatly what SBBC was! Have listened to you so often rant and rave about the horrible things! LOL
Going to be busy tomorrow. Need to water pots, run errands and then we are going to friends in the afternoon. Laurel is coming Sunday, so really should do some preparation there!
I do hope everyone has a grand weekend! Gotta remember to put our flag out in the morning. Laurel's street is so neat....every house has a flag out by the curb. Joey is in Rotary and they have a flag program. Joey has signed up all his neighbors and he and the boys put out all the flags.
Okay, turning in!!
Night all! God bless and sweet dreams!
Good night all . God Bless you and keep you and I will check in after I go to my Dragon Boat experience tomorrow morning...
Good night all and God Bless you and Keep you. I will check in tomorrow after my Dragon Boat experience.
Evening all or should I say good morning?
Hope everyone had a nice evening...will catch up in the morning light...
HODA - the dragon boat sounds like a great time - hope you enjoyed it.
Good morning EARLY BIRDS!
It's too early to be up on a day off, so I'm going back to bed, but wanted to check the cams first and what do you know?
The CAMS ARE STILL DOWN! Just checked both of them.
Oh, I miss our eagles.
I'm not setting an alarm, but drank a big full glass of water - LOL - so I can't sleep too late. :)
Wow big tree branch down in my yard from the storm. Broken pool umbrella and various things blown around. All while we were out!
Good morning Lori, that glass of water should do the trick!
Maybe I will go back to bed too!
Wow...can't get my act together this morning
G☺☺d Morning Eagle Pals...
Lolly, I love this:
"Laurel's street is so neat....every house has a flag out by the curb. Joey is in Rotary and they have a flag program. Joey has signed up all his neighbors and he and the boys put out all the flags."
I would love to watch this.
DanaMo, sorry about the storm damage, hope all will be okay
xoxo
Kay

Hoda, Congratulations on that dental report !! Doesn't just come by accident, sure you work hard to keep your pearly whites in order
Thanks for the relay report from JudyE ♥
Good Wishes on your Dragon Boat day
No Eagle cams here, but we can look forward to Paula's beach report later on !!

Best wishes on a Super Day at Market !
I did not get up to look for ISS-Endeavor this morning, it was going to be low and not very bright
Sunday will be a good, very early flyover view,
and Monday: The ISS and Endeavor will be undocked (I think) to that should be a really good very early flyover to watch for !
Lolly
Thank you for the cool postcard!
I love caverns, has been a loooong time since I have visited any
I love to get personal mail !
I hope you and Jack have a wonderful day ☺
Lynne2:
I have to backtrack and find some pictures of my Forget-me-Nots from last year and will send YOU a picture later on today after work, also
will take a picture of what I have coming up now.
It's time to get ready for work I guess :(
Yes, Lynn-Hedgie, it IS my Friday, maybe, never can tell for sure until it happens.
Glad you had such a good time with Carolyn on Friday ☺
Best Wishes for A Good Day, Everyone
Love Your Freedom? Thank a Veteran

Good morning eagle momsters and dadsters. Of to the flea market to look for some deals. I hope you all have a good day.
Oh Joy !
Just caught that post, Thelma
Hope you find some good "fleas" at market !!
Stay Cool !
Love you...(( hugs ♥ ))
okay everyone, out the door....
Might "see" you from work ☺
xoxoxo ☺ ♥
Good morning,
Someone asked about the lower gate duty. It was okay. I shared the duty with a young man, a first-year teacher. The nurse was next to us under a canopy. Eventually, I scooted over and enjoyed the shade of her canopy. Boy, it was some kind of hot.
At the end of the day, I was holding back the remaining students waiting for those in charge to say it was time to release them when Mike, who was standing nearby, said, "What the heck, Shirley." And we released the multitude.
(Mike is another teacher who teaches just down the hall.)
That is pretty much the day.
JudyE, Darth is Judie's husband. His real name is Frank. The "Darth" has to do with the pronunciation of their last name.
Hi Thelma!! Good to see you.
good morning everyone, it is 5:02 AM PDT and I have been up for an hour. I think the birds chirping got me up, could not be that I am excited about trying out for the Dragon Boats...
Glad to read Paula checked in late last night.
Enjoy the flea market T-Bird.
Thanks for the reminders of the good view times of the ISS fly overs Magpie. I hope it clears out here so I can catch a glimpse maybe.
Stronghunter I am glad the day went well and that you found shade and decided to release the kids when things were completed waiting for "the word" sometimes used to cause us a lot of problems at school because everyone was so wound up...Not many more days to go...it sounds like you have good relations with the teachers you work with also.
Parent feeding at BWO
oh so cute
Good Morning from Work

Happy Saturday, everyone...
HODA
- hope the skies clear...
Monday morning ISS and Endeavor, will be interesting to see how close they will be...I meant to check for later days after May 31 - but I forgot !!
ttfn xoxoxox
10-4 Margy!
Good Morning all....nice here this morning and a very cool night after the storms. Not going to be as hot today, so they are saying....
Have not heard from Susan or Rus this morning, but I am sure I would have if the storms had been bad for them.
Yes, Hoda, those of us on the front lines sometimes need to take action.
Mike, my teacher friend, was joking with the kids, saying things like, "Yeah, you can overpower us, but we'll be able to take a few of you out first." But it was hot, and everybody was tired and ready to end the day.
I think the kids had a good time, and please do not worry. They are used to Mike's teasing. He is a good guy.
Morning!
Good morning! And a special good morning to you, Paula! Enjoy your weekend. We will be waiting for updates on bird spotting!
I am just making a quick appearance. Off to water pots before running some errands.
Hoda, thinking of you this morning and anxious to hear your report. Hope you are not too sore after this experience!
Margy.....I am going to squeal! We have been talking about you on fb. Someone, won't mention names, put on a picture of beef t_____s. Lots of comments and things like "Don't tell Margy". And, here I am telling you. LOL Not fair to mention your name when you can not get on fb.
I am now off to water pots as it is going to be yet another hot, hot day!
Have a great day! Wish I was at the beach!
I don't think I told you about the kid who showed up to my class with two and a half cases of bottled water on the BDP day.
It was much more than he could carry. He was pushing it along the floor. I asked what he was going to do with all of that water, and he said that it was really hot out there. I commented that he could kill himself by drinking too much water. Evasive, vague answers always cause me to be suspicious.
It slowly came out that he wasn't going to drink all of that water. Hmmm, so what was he going to do??? This water was going to be thrown or poured on people. I picked up the phone and called administration. Kid was summoned to the office. He was told to take the water back to his car. A security officer followed him. Also, he had to take off an inappropriate t-shirt, and while he was there, a referral arrived from another teacher. Sounds like he had a bad day.
Kid kind of reminds me of Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn. How did I find out all of this stuff? He told me with a silly grin on his face.
Yeah, I have had several conversations with this boy's mom. She is a teacher. She has her hands full!
Morning all! Cool on ehere, so far...only 70°! It rained lightly most of the night.
I made a dumb mistake....had the satellite tuned to a music station and coming in on the stereo (I always sleep to it), but completely forgot that I had the DVR set to record two things at 6AM...came awake at 6:15 hearing a baby crying like crazy.....realized what had happened----if DVR is set for two things, it autoimatically changes the channel to one of them. Came down the steps as quietly as I could to turn off the stereo....but Liesl heard me and was wide awake and ready to go. Way too early!!! After letting her out and getting dressed, we went to the sofa and dozed for an hour!
Hoda, wondering if you are on the water yet in the dragonboat....hope it goes well! Bet your muscles will be screaming and that you have some ibuprofen or something with you.
Worst of the weather apparently was in Northern Virginia yesterday.....my SIL was at his fire station south of Alexandria...a limb came down on his car and smashed the back window and creased the roof. Luckily he got it into the bay before the rain started! Glad it's not raining this morning so he could drive it home. Now needs to borrow someone's garage until body shop opens Monday.
Paula, was your drive-time prolonged by beach traffic? THey said on the news yesterday that 336,000 vehicles were expected to cross the bay bridge this weekend!
Oh, wow, Lynn. I think it was much worse in lots of places than it was here.
BBL. Need to get George food. George peed on Kathryn's shoes, a fact she discovered when she was about to head out to Hunter's baseball practice. I wonder if he is mad at her?
Good Morning - Glad I got here before the 200 SPLIT hit. Just finishing a cup of coffee and watching my feathered friends feeding out back along side my furry friends the squirrels. This scene starts my day off very
peacefully!
Hello Eagle Fans!
My goodness. Something happened to the cam!
It's a little hard to catch up but I did see a report that drinking too much water can kill you.
AND
The deceased eagle that was found a while back did not have a brood patch.
