It's when you begin seeing pink elephants in the nest I will worry. LOL!

magpie said...

I saw the squirrel, Judy
and then he or she scampered into the understory of the nest, where the blackbirds used to scamper around
down on the left around 7 or 8 spot on the nest

Kay said...

Good Morning Eagle Buds !

Have spent about 25 minutes attempting to get the nest, the blog and to post. Computer moving like molasses and then kicking me out. Drat ! I see I missed the first visit--must read back to catch up.....

magpie said...

The site at Finney-One says second chick hatched !
on the 6th ...two in one day??
Wow

magpie said...

two chicks and one egg at Finney2 also
waiting on Fin-Ferry now...

Lori O. said...

Think the Juvie at BWE could be an eaglet that was born there? How cool!

Morning KAY!

Kay said...

Okay, have read back as far as Truder's visit---sure hope he and Belle decide to come back---any minute now will be fine, Beautiful Birds !

Happy Anniversary to Judie and Frank ! Don't know what year this is, but apparently it's the "New Furnace/A/C" year on the gift list !

Kay said...

Hmmm, ants, squirrels, Truder...is this nest zoned for mulitple use ?

magpie said...

feeding time at FinneyONe
Finland Lane Nest One

I think I hear the Oriole at NCTC

magpie said...

probably so Lori

that link was supposed to say Finland LAND nest One

DanaMo said...

I'm too lazy to read back. When was Truders visit?

JudyEddy said...

blogger cop is out there so watch out there is the clunking again

JudyEddy said...

had to re logg back in with google

Lori O. said...

Oh my, all this time I've been wondering if Judie's husband's name is really Darth, but I didn't want to ask in case it really was!

Happy Anniversary Judie & Frank! May you have many, many more.

magpie said...

adult at Fin-Ferry seems pretty restless, up and down on the cup a lot
both adults were ther a few mins ago

JudyEddy said...

507 about that time I put pic in album and a vido on FB

magpie said...

he came in at 5:06 DanaMo

JudyEddy said...

DANAMO we also had a squirrel visit

magpie said...

Lori
Darth is Frank's nickname
due to their last name sound

magpie said...

ok what was the bird sound at NCTC
Nuthatch?
Woodpecker ?
or maybe even it was a squirrel-bird
the oriole is near

JudyEddy said...

wow Lakeland had another shooting over a stolen vehicle and home invasion reporting on news right now Deputy ok Sheriff Judge Grady kicks ass in Polk county Suspect is shot multi times There has been about four invasion from him

Lori O. said...

Thanks Margy, don't know their last name.

Hello DANAMO - hope your tooth is fixed & feeling better, AND that you get today off. Too hot to be hauling things up and down stairs with no AC.

JudyEddy said...

RIGHT NOW 77 out

DanaMo said...

I saw the squirrel just not Truder.

I will be going in very soon and hopefully finished by noon. Then if I still have more to do I will go back in tomorrow and out by noon! I only work in the morning! LOL!

I will be sitting around the pool.

But before I can go in I have to finish these stupid report cards!!!

magpie said...

awful, Judy
hope none of the innocents got hurt

Red-Bellied sound at NCTC
Lori will send you an email on that last name

DanaMo said...

I'm on "M" -6 more kids to go!

JudyEddy said...

5 min and counting before I head out the door I want to stay home and watch out pretty camera

JudyEddy said...

BYE BYE BIRDIE BUDS see you at lunch HAGD

magpie said...

James the grandson finishes school June 9
yesterday was a field trip to Harpers Ferry

Okay, DanaMo, the end is in sight for you !

Kay said...

DANAMO, LOL about the report cards being "BS" ! In April when my eldest, Eileen and her daughter, Dana Kay, visited, they got into my photo album/scrapbooks. Came across the period when Dana and her brother, Max, were in pre-school and K. We all got a big laugh out of the report card copies. Poor teachers, they had to struggle to come up with original phrases and comments. At the time we were all thrilled with the glowing reports of adjustments and accomplishments. Looking at them now we see the same observations could have been made about any one of the tikes. Just changing the name was all that was needed ! ☺ Max and Dana are now 22 and 20.

magpie said...

DanaWV
when you pop on
nice report about your father at the VA
and nice that you got that picture scanned
My father worked there from 1946 through 1969 -
he must have known your father !
Do you think so?
And thanks for your comments on my wildflower pictures, I might get out to photograph some new ones today
butterfly weed is probably out, and if so I will find it !!!

magpie said...

but right now, Eagle Pals, I am going to get a few more z's
(after 3 cups of coffee...maybe not, but will try, will rest the eyeballs at least )

passing the baton on, to the rest of you fine folks...

I believe the Eagles are out fishing...hope they come to the nest at breaktime ☺

Best wishes for a Good, Safe, Healthy Day
xoxo ♥

magpie said...

Lori
I sent you that email

DanaMo said...

Yes it's always funny. When I write "has leadership skills" read as "bosses other children around" LOL! I shouldn't say that online, they say that teachers are getting in trouble for what they post privately. Crazy. I know that when I read my children's comments I always saw them as glowing too, now as a teacher I know the "code" lol!

DanaMo said...

My only comment on all the report cards today is "Congratulations on completing kindergarten"

Judie said...

Good morning, everyone.

Too much activity for this old woman. Fell asleep last night almost before I could finish dinner cleanup.

Am headed out this morning to attend the first of several activities today. A breakfast and picture-taking ceremony for Darth and then a buffet dinner tonight. Reason? Well, each Fairfax County District supervisor nominates an annual Lord and Lady Fairfax based on community service and volunteer contributions. This is Darth's year. He is a Lord Fairfax for the day. So, I'll be tagging along to look proud of his contributions to our District and Fairfax County.

Oh, the Darth thing. Margy is correct. Our last name is difficult to pronounce based on spelling so I tell students to pretend I am married to Darth Vader and the Darth part has stuck to him.

Yes, Darth (Frank) is finally Lord of something after 28 years of marriage.

Will be home midday and will try to catch up. Otherwise, I hope everyone will have a wonderful morning.

Bye

magpie said...

Judie!
That is so neat, Lord Fairfax!
Enjoy your day, and Congratulations to Frank,
and to the Two of You on 28 years as Mr. and Mrs. xoxo ♥

PS - I just dead-headed my lantana blooms ☺

magpie said...

DanaMo
I'm sure the parents are proud to read what you write....
I have seen some of the comments James's teachers have made on his report cards....know they have to reach a bit at times, but I also know they are seeing and saying some nice things about him
has little to do with his scholastic achievement....
but more about his character and his spirit
xoxo ♥ God Bless You, and ALL our teachers on here - past and present...

Where would we be without your precious commmitment and devotion ?♥ THANK YOU !!

magpie said...

My neighborhood mockingbird is imitating a Towhee, and a killdeer and a phoebe ♪ ♫
if he does an Eagle call, well, I will know he has been to NCTC

ta ta for now....
not pulling any more Margys

Kay said...

My B/P is soaring. After my last post everything froze. Rebooted, deleted cookies and browsing history, hoping to get rid of some log jam in my own computer. It didn't work, must be a network problem. Going to go away and give it a rest. Maybe run a Norton full system scan.

HAGD and I'll BBL,♥♥♥♥

FuzzleMT said...

Back with a pic of my Dad in Navy whites - he sent this to my mom - who at that time was his sweetheart - she sang live on the radio in Pittsburgh PA with my Dad's sister. He was so silly - he drew that moustache on that picture!

Lori O. said...

CONGRATS to Lord Vader. Judie that is sooo cool!

DANA MO - rotflmbo - Leadership skills! Hysterical. I always had "good leadership skills" comments on my report cards as a youngster! LOL! Not that I never knew I could be pushy!

KAY - Lots of computer malfunctions these days. First thing always try shutting it down and re-starting. It's the easiest thing that solves the most problems. One question? Does Seth use your computer when he comes over?

floralgirl said...

Hello all:)
Came in to get a drink, stopping by to say Hi!
Hope everyone is doing well, I never get a chance to read all the comments.
Did see the cam is back up but haven't had a chance to sit and watch it.
Another beautiful weather day here before it starts to get really hot again.
Lori, your vulture pictures are awesome. I am so jealous. Haven't seen my vulture in 4 days, he was usually showing up every 2 for food.
Lori, can you tell me the name again of the pill you take for arthritis, I wrote it down but can't find it now.
Back to work, taking advantage of the nice cool air this am. Have a great day everybody!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Eagle Friends.

Andy prayers for all your transcription.
I just know you'll do great ( :

Happy Annivery to Judie & Frank (Darth)

Shirley enjoy your dinner with your teacher friends. ( :

DanaMo thanks for posting about squirrel in nest.

JudyE grab a picture of it.

Margy thanks for letting us know about telling update about both Finney nest.

Ha Ha so cute Lori "pink elphants". lol

Margy yes they probably did know each other working at the VA. It has been so funny how lose we lived, school but not same time,
then both our Dad's working VA. People we know. ( : ♥♥♥

DanaMo good luck with your tooth today.

Well Judie contragulations to our famous person "FRANK" Mister Lord Fairfax. Tell him contragulations from us/me. Darth Vader rides again lol

lmbo Judie "after 28 yrs. he is Lord of somehing". lol

I need some milk weed plants.

Lori O. said...

MEGAN - hope you're still here.

The arthritis supplement is:
Source Naturals Hyaluronic Acid
100mg. Amazon.com has the best price. You will love it!

I'M SO JEALOUS THAT YOUR VULTURES return to your place for food! I would love to keep these guys around. What do you recommend?

Lori O. said...

Wanda you'll have to tell Father Captain Gene that Lord Frank may have him beat in the title department. :)

Hello WV DANA!

wvgal_dana said...

Needed to to change avatar. Bring to many tears.

Going today to pick up my "family ring". One stone mine, then Raschida's, the Ed's birthstone.
They called said it was ready.

After I come back I have a plant. Not even sure what it is. Must have had a pack of seeds. Put them in a hole. White tall flowers came up. Some of the white flowers are turning brown. Probably needs to be dead headed.

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Lori ( :

Lori that is a good one for Father Gene LOL

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING...
Yes, Lori, Darth is LORDING over Capt. Father Gene today;) You are a hoot! Congratulations to Frank, that honor is well earned, I'm sure! Come on, Judie, brag a little on your guy...we can handle the truth!

Costume Lady said...

Hi, Dana. Did you ever find your camera? Did you look way down behind the cushions of your couch and chairs. I find a lot of lost items there:)

Costume Lady said...

I do believe it was SHARON who named the NCTC eagle nest, The Sycamore Palace...very cute and fitting!

floralgirl said...

Oh- Happy anniversary Judie and Darth!
Thanks Lori, I'm ordering some stuff from Amazon and wanted to get that, but misplaced the name.
The vulture in my yard is injured, and that's why it has been hanging around. One of it's wings appears to be injured. I think it hangs out by the creek during the day now. It usually comes over here looking for food in the morning or evening, but my neighbor has been mowing and tilling non stop and it runs away whenever those types of machines are running. I hope it has not been hurt, maybe he'll show up today.

Costume Lady said...

FuzzleMa, when we lived in Pa. and before we got a TV, we listened to Pittsburgh's KDKA, and probably heard your mother and aunt sing. We lived there in the 40s and part of the 50s. Loved to listen to te Pittsburgh Pirtates ballgames!
Your father was quite handsome.
My father was also in the Navy, WW11 and Korean War. Need to scan his photo.

hedgie said...

Good morning. Cloudy here.....that will help keep the temp down!

Slowly catching up!

Margy, there are TWO chicks at Finney1---both hatched onsame day---HIGHLY unusual!!!

Costume Lady said...

Had to chuckle when JudyE mentioned the sheriff and the shooting in Florida. I believe it was there, that someone shot a police officer and when the perp. was caught, a whole group of officers opened fire on him and shot him dead. Later, when the sheriff was asked why they shot the man 68 times, he said, "We ran out of bullets!" :)

wvgal_dana said...

No Wanda never did find my camera.

I still believe it was at Waffle House Edwin Miller Blvd. Gone it is...I just wished I had the pictures off of it.

Thanks for asking.

Oh dear Eagle friends it was August
28, 2010 when we had squirrels in our eagle nest. I do believe Liberty and Belle ate those. Because we seen them eating squirrels. I have a folder with the squirrel pic and date.

Lolly said...

Good morning! Taking a quick peek in and then out to water pots. 99 yesterday and heading to over 100. I sent Hoda some heat, waiting for a cool breeze sent by her.

Love it! Lord Darth lording it over Capt. Father Gene. LOL

Happy Anniversary to our lovely Judie and Lord Darth!!! ♥♥♥ You are sharing the anniversary with Laurel and Joey. Today is their 14th anniversary.♥♥♥

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda how is your knee?

Lolly said...

Kay, so sorry you are having computer problems. It is sooo frustrating, but please do not let it affect your BP!!!

Lolly said...

I am so glad the morning crew saw Truder. Wish it had been Belle, too.

Okay, I have finished my coffee and I am heading out!

Have a great day!

Lori O. said...

MEGAN -

I don't like it at all when noise disrupts the wildlife. I swear even my trees crouch down and cringe when my family (AKA the Loud Family) rolls in for a weekend! LOL.

What are you feeding your injured vulture? Do you think you've seen any signs of trust from the bird, or are you not that close?

hedgie said...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY JUDIE AND DARTH!!!


Margy, yep, I posted yesterday that we had two in Finney2!

As for FinFerry....close-up view IS available---click at top of page on Middle the Image (or Lud-something if not translated!)!!! Mits found that! Forum was showing close-up pics so she found out how they were getting them!!

floralgirl said...

Yeah, it comes to the same big rock in my yard for food,and sits there until we come out with food. It lets me get about 2 1/2 feet from it if I walk very slow, and then it hops down and gets right back up when I walk away. I have fed it pork, chicken,and ham. Sometimes cooked, usually raw. It doesn't appear to be afraid of me, but still cautious to let me get too close, which is good.
We have noticed that it disappears whenever we run any kind of machinery.

hedgie said...

My grands finished school for the year yesterday. Mixed emotions on all fronts about that!

hedgie said...

And BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Darth on his honorific!!!! Did I ever mention that I love Fairfax Co.???? ALWAYS something happening there!!

hedgie said...

Nice new pic of your Dad, Irene! And how cool that Wanda's Dad also was in the Navy----they may have known each other. Enlistees from a state often were sent to the same base/post for basic training!! Rode same trains and buses , too!!

Megan, hope your vulture will be okay. Glad that you are making peace with each other!

hedgie said...

Mommy and Liesl were bad this morning.....she was being a squirm worm and I was only holding her with one arm.....she jumped out of my arm and landed with a thud....hit her head....she was dazed for just a second, but she looked at me as if it was all my fault! She appears to be fine....but five feet is a long way to drop!

wvgal_dana said...

Well Hedgie-Lynn there was no one but Liesl and you. So it had to be "YOUR FAULT" lol

What happened to the guy that shot the cat???

hedgie said...

Well, shoot......Hagerstown paper says that the Miracle on Hudson plane will stay on 70 to 68.....that is hardly the fastest route to Charlotte.....don't understand their logic at all. 81 would seem to be most direct route. Truck is 140 feet long....20-40 other vehicles in convoy. Wow....sure wish I could see it. JO---Washington Co. between late morning to early afternoon, so maybe already in Frederick Co.!

Hoda said...

Good Morning and I am so glad you saw Truder

On the blog I have delete buttons on all the entries!!! Does anyone else have that? For a while I did not even have a delete for my own entries and this morning there is a delete for everyones...what is going on I wonder???

Hoda said...

OK after I logged on, which is also new, I have not had to do so for a long time now, THE DELETE BUTTONS, for every one, are gone, including mine...I only have it on the page where I type the entries!!! All is well.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Good morning everybody. I just returned from the eye doctor. My eyes have actually gotten a little better. still have to go order the glasses though. Had to get back home to start work and didn't have time. Hopefully will do that this evening or in the morning.

Hoda said...

Thanks Judy E I saw the Truder morning visit on your FB posting.

JudyEddy said...

Home for lunch and see if a new thread was posted Looks like no visit after this morning Darn it I was hoping that they would have atleast showed up for you all I guess they didn't get the memo that the cam was up and we were waiting for them LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all!

Happy Anniversary to Judie and Darth!!

Yay, some early birds saw Truder!! Maybe Belle will grace us with an appearance, too!

Megan, cool about Vincent...do you see him flying??

DanaMO, love the explantion of the "codes", LOL

Congrats to LORD FAIRFAX VADER

JudyEddy said...

Hey Lori I will buy some of the glass like I have and maybe you will be able to see what I see LOL I do wear glass the kind you buy over the counter Lucky vision is same in each eye

wvgal_dana said...

Hummm I put a picture on and saved it. lol Even looked at it on the blog. When I typed comment picture did not show up.

Let's try this again.

Hedgie-Lynn what happened in court to the guy that shot the cat?

Lori O. said...

JUDYE - you're so darn good to us with all the links to videos that we would otherwise never see that I'm just hoping you go on seeing the way you see. Thank you!

MEGAN - THANK YOU for the information on Vincent. Great name. I could only think of Victor for a male "V" name. Maybe I'll name this pair VALENTINO and since you can't tell the M & F apart, call them Val - works for both, eh? Or one could be Val the other Tino... Val 'n Tino!

Way too much caffeine for me this morning.

Lori O. said...

From WCV on NBG eaglets:

"The webcam is back on this morning, in preparation for the eaglets’ arrival at about 12:30 p.m. today."

hedgie said...

Sharon, that's great that your vision improved! Rare occurence!

Dana, I posted yesterday that the case was postponed. Defendant's attorney was tied up in another court.

Hoda, sure don't understand all the trashcan problem....blogger cop is either overactive or asleep on the job!!

Lori O. said...

ABOUT THE EAGLETS NEW ENCLOSURE:

At "the far end of the enclosure — a high swinging perch is waiting for the eaglets. Black netting has also been added to the back wall just in case the eaglets build up flight speed and overshoot the perch."

Hope not!

paula eagleholic said...

Lori, love the Val n' Tino!

JudyEddy said...

Got to get you opinion some new items we got at walmart on the baking isle Marshmallow different kinds check it out when you go We have Strawberry shaped ones with chocolate inside, banana one with banana in it, green apple shaped with green apple jelly in it, peach shaped with peach jelly in it, pina colada bite size on smell sooooo good, German chocolate bit size smell good to, cinnabon bite size, chocolate mint bite size and there are a few more I love green apples and am thinking about buying I think they would be cute as a gransih on a cake, cupcake, or jello or pudding 1.00 to 1.48 They are really cute Back to reading some of the blog and make sure I'm not late goning back to work like usual BBL HAGD

floralgirl said...

Usually just see Vincent walk away, Paula. Can't say for sure I've seen it fly. Thought so once when one flew in very low over us, then he was out front shortly after, but couldn't be sure. It kind of limps and the right wing doesn't seem to extend out all the way. This is day 5 of no visit though. Hope it's because he's found food elsewhere, and nothing has hurt him.
Lori, my kid named him, I usually just call him vulture.

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Lynn must have missed reading about court postponded date. ty ( : HUGS

wvgal_dana said...

I have something neat to tell you all. The little boy across and up the street a little. I don't think he is 2 yet. His dad got him a regular big boy basketball net. Dad lowered it and put it laying down at an angel. So the little boy in diapers can try throwing the basketball in it. It is so so cute. He made it yesterday when I was outside. His Dad sits there watching and talking to him. When he made it I yelled "You made the basket - way to go!!" That little boy just smiled and laughed. It was just so cute.

hedgie said...

Earthquake in MO this morning.....4.2 I think they said. SW of St. Louis...Mom and Sis are NW. No reports of damage, etc.

wvgal_dana said...

Lori thank you for posting the information on the 3 eaglets from NBG. They will go into new enclosure today. Where did you find the information?

hedgie said...

Official announcement from SWT----Isla and the Laird's eggs have failed. Well, I think we all knew that already, didn't we???

magpie said...

From Loch of the Lowe's:
(to follow up on Lynn's post)

"It is now 49 days after the third egg was laid by our female osprey in residence here at Loch of the Lowes for the 21st consecutive year. The average incubation period for osprey eggs is thought to be 37 days and, although our female osprey has surprised us many times in the past, it now seems highly unlikely that the eggs will hatch this year.

Sadly these things can happen in nature, and while in many ways it is disappointing that we are not going to see chicks on the nest this year, it is worth remembering that our female osprey has now laid her 61st egg, which is still an astonishing achievement."

Hello Again Eagle Pals xoxo

magpie said...

thanks Lynn
about Finney2
thought you might have already covered that!
This morning both Finney1 and Finney2 Moms were feeding their chicks at the very same time,
like a double take from one cam to the next

Hello Megan ! Sure have missed you !!
and also FuzzleMa
did the wild storms get you last week??

magpie said...

Thank You Lynn!
On that close-up feature on Fin-Ferry.
Used to be able to double-click on the image and same thing would happen, but this is awesome!

Lori O. said...

Here's the link WV DANA along with pics of their new enclosure. It's on the Wildlife Center Virginia site. They should be going in at any time.

NBG Eaglets, Tuesday June 7

magpie said...

okay mostly cloudy and maybe a stray thunderstorm around here
and high near 90

Jo - -
are you going to pop on and say Hello today? Sure hope so !

Kay said...

NEW THREAD----NEW THREAD---COME ON OVER !!!!

magpie said...

Family Dollar has a very impressive collection of Father's Day Cards, by the way...
most only $1, some two for $1

Costume Lady said...

Dana, I could just picture the little fella laughing when you praised him. Jayden loves to be praised and applauded...he giggles and claps his hands:)

Lori O. said...

KAY - if you're lurking I hope you have your computer back together. I asked earlier about Seth using it because I've seen my nephews get on my Mom's computer and tweak it the way they like it to work and they just figure you'll like it better their way. Of course, they're playing mega memory/graphics video games and you just want to blog and go to Sporkle! I think. You could really be a drag racing, eagle loving granny in disguise! Kidding. ♥u

hedgie said...

Cool names for all of your vultures, girls! Megan, was Maddie thinking of Vincent Price??

JudyE...hate to say it but the marshmallows sound gross! I wouldn't buy any of them! JMHO!

Nice, Dana, for that dad to customize for the baby.

hedgie said...

Revamped enclosure for the NBG eaglets will be so fun for them!
