Wheeeeeeeeeeeee! Did not see that coming!
Shirley, where the white feathers meet the brown feathers on the neck/chest area, directly under the beak
Shirley, the bottom of her white feathers on her hood go into an inverted "V" on her front side pretty much in the middle...it's a wide "V".
Guess what! Water fell from the sky last night. What do you call it, I do not remember? And, they say more is coming today and tomorrow. It could be a soaker. So badly needed!
Belle is really hanging!!! Queen of all she surveys!
Gotta finish getting ready to get out of here. Will be so glad to get this Do DONE!!!! Too shaggy, and hardly any perm left.
Hi, Irene! Glad you stopped in and saw our birds!!
Have you gotten a job yet? Getting accustomed to the Montana weather??? Fill us in, gal!
A couple of errands after hair apptmt., so see you all later this afternoon.
WOW, that was quick...looked up and didn't know where I was!
Poof!
Off to the right
POOF!!!!! Bye, Belle!
Good Morning!
Wow, an EAGLE in the nest! A really messy looking one! Is this Belle, or is it Shep? I can't tell who's who anymore. Oops-POOF!
And landed in the tree
Paula, I love your avatar.
Clunking around in the tree.
Eagle back with stick!!!!
And back with lumber
Or should I say log? Short but thick!
WHOA! They are raiding someone's
firewood! Look at that log.
At first I thought it was a
frozen fish........
Two!
Ok, Paula, who is who? LOL
Andy, nice to hear from you. I was afraid you had blown away.
Both!
Food.
Fell asleep in front of the TV again last night, and couldn't wake myself up well enough to get on the laptop! Sorry about that!
Golly, 2 EAGLES IN THE NEST!
No that's food...both in nest...
I missed it! Did he bring her lunch? There is hope for that bird!
Might be a frozen fish, looks like one is eating!
Oh, we do not want to share!
Eating their lunch...not sharing!
Who knows what it is?
Then it is a leg of deer
I think that is Shep near the trunk and Belle in the center. What do you think?
Stick or food? This is a mystery!
Looks like the leg of a something, bet it is a deer.
Hi, Shirley!
Good to see you, too. I thought I might blow away, too--put some heavy rocks in my pockets!
Lynn, last night you asked how strong the winds were. In L.A. they were 90 mph with gusts up to 100 mph, and may have been about 90 mph here. About half of my patio plants (some in HEAVY pots) are tipped over sideways. I didn't bother to right them yesterday because they said on the news that winds would blow starting last night again, and continue into today. However (thank God!), thought there were some fairly mild, cold, easterly winds last evening, it's pretty still out so far today. Holding my breath on that one!
This is soooooooooo puzzling to me...
BTW I have a foot dr appointment today
Just the triming of nails and stuff like that.......
Ok - so IMHO - Belle is "dirty" and the other eagle has the spot I'm used to seeing - he sure has gotten better at nestorations - OOOOH beaking! "UGH where to put this sofa already?"
Okay, you can see Belle's V now.
She does look the messiest now.
Okay, I am back. Had to type pathology. Can't type and watch the cam at the same time. Belle is in Lib's favorite spot.
Belle poofed!
Hop and poof.
Female eagle does not have the inverted V as we have been seeing on Belle...feathers missing, maybe?
Log or leg lying in the middle of the nest.
Oooo how wonderful to see them!! Can't figure out what that thing is? A deer leg maybe??
OUCH @!@!!!
Belle is in the tree, for a moment you could see her tail feathers.
Wish she would mug for the camera like Hidey used to. :)
Shep has really been doing nestoratins. Now he is just looking around.
Got a couple of pictures.
Hi PattiO
Can you help!? Maybe you can call the shots on here? It is getting confusing!
Jo, you said deer leg. Could be it is part of the carcass that they have been sticking their heads in. Hmmm????
Oh, an eagle cry!
Eagle calls.
I'm in agreement with Fuzzle ... Belle is dirty and Shep has that single spot on his head. She was probably in the water or something... fighting over some food perhaps. Wray @ West End has a tendency to get dirty like that! :)
My concern is that something is
bothering them right now...
I am not sure which one went POOF
I think Belle poofed. She was facing the cam just before she poofed and you could see the inverted V.
I think Belle went 'poof'. But I think she's up in the branches.
Another call. I am thinking Shep is in the nest, but I do not know.
Also, she had more smudges on the back of her head.
He is watching something, but continues to work on the nest.
Good Morning everybody! I have not been able to sign in since Thanksgiving. It is getting to be a drag. Hope everyone is doing good and that Diane's surgery is successful.
What a wonderful visit today. Exceptional!
Now I have been diagnosed with Adhesive Capsulitis. Did not care that it had a name just wanted the pain to go away. Somewhat common in lung patients. If anyone is familiar with it and has some comfort solutions, i would be most grateful.
Lynn, I am so grateful that you are recuuperating and have a good medical plan to help you get well. Also I would love a mailing list. Thought I was on Momster mail but am not.
Sorry this is so long. Not even sure I will be able to sign in but wanted to say hi to everyone. Hope to hear more from Linda soon.
Take xcare all and is this not the best Eagle viewing day?
Another cry...someone quick, go to the nest and let us know what is going on!
I am signed in!!! YAY!!!
Well with the V under Belle's chin ...she is easy to spot and now she is dirtier on the side of her nest.
Would be nice if someone at NCTC could take a look, but know they are busy with their jobs.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a job watching eagles?
I have tons to do, but I am glued here!
I can't get 'unstuck' either lol
Hi, Suzan!
I think Shep is a youngster eager to please Miss Belle. :) He looks to be doing well on the nestoration aspect. We'll have to wait and see how he does with the mating aspect! :) :)
Yeah ... I'm "stuck" too!! LOL And I'm at work!!
Have PattO glad you are getting to see the eagles.
Belle is still in the nest.
More eagle cries and not from Shep in the nest.
Boy, I'm really "stuck" here, too! I think Belle is up in the tree, and she is the one we are hearing. That appears to be Shep in the nest IMHO.
Dana, we think that is Shep in the nest. The one that is the messiest and has the inverted V poofed.
Hi Shirley!
Yes, Shirley...on the front of the 'RUFFLE" around her neck.
And, I say "think", but did see the inverted V on the eagle that poofed for sure.
And the bell tolls 12! I have to get some work done but will be leaving the cam on. :) I forgot the sound was working, just turned it up! LOL
Glad you are here Wanda. Please trot your bod down to the nest. LOL
Thanks to everyone for the answers about Belle. I have a picture to study when I have time. Trying to get a few shots.
Hello Suzan - you have been missed!
Our eyes are glued on the Live Feed at the nest activities.
I can't help you out with your new
ailment - Maybe Lynn can but I don't
know where she went off to - YES I DO
Lynn went for a new do I had forgotten that.......
And by the way, EE's Sissy, leave my precious Buphals alone. He is brilliant!
Oh, phooey--I have a phone call I must make--will be back asap!
I posted a picture of an Eagle on my blog. It was taken at the OBX. Lynn, everyone says they are seeing more Eagles there than they have in years. Isn't that great?
I am here too...Good to see the nest and an Eagle.
I see an earlier visit to the nest too.
I also observe that the resolution on the camera is affecting what I see. Much clearer and sharper .
Eagle, I think it is Shep, just called out and then proceeded to do nestorations.
Good Morning / Good afternoon all.
Bird just landed on camera box? I heard it.
Afternoon Hoda! I heard that too. I think Belle is overseeing Shep's work (not that he's doing TOO much!) :)
Oh, I want those feathers!
Jo, I can't take my eyes off the cam either!
i had two shots of cortisone, one in each shoulder and that has hekped. But need to work on getting range of motion, etc. back. I will be fine.
Susan, my daughter is at the OBX right now and she sees eagles each time she goes there (Carolla)
I hear an eagle but I don't think it is one in nest.
Another cry. Clunking and shaking of the cam.
A leg in a manger, no crib for its bed.
You mean those little white fluffy feathers, Wanda...
Per that eagle - It is a crib rail
Persistence will get it where it should be!
OMG!!! My sister ain't right!!!!
Camera shook and he moves the thick stick to the side of the nest nd is trying to find a place for in on the railing. So it is not food then?
Wanda, I lived there for 25 years and you would see or hear of a sighting occasionally. I am just glad they have expanded there as they have most everywhere.
Hehe ... he's got a feather on his back.
It is a day for the birds! Right now we have a beautiful rs hawk on a low branch right outside the kitchen window. Got several pics. It is a drizzly day and he is just sitting there.
More cries.
They are going to build those railings so high we won't be able to see what's going on in there!
ROFL Sissy ♥
No V under chin so that has to be Shep doing the nestorations.
It is really nice seeing Shep work on the nest.
More eagle calls, friendly sound not distressed I do not think. Not from Shep in the nest from Belle above...
Interesting knocking sound.
They must have looked at the calendar, saw that it was December, and decided to get with it!!!☺
On going nestorations by Shep. I like the resolution on the camera, a softer hue to it somehow oh he is going to take off? Standing on the railing looking about...
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
GOOD MORNING,
EVERYBODY.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Coolish overnight, but it's heading up to the mid 60's now.
C(°ٿ°)D Jim
He is still in the nest and off he skips to the limb of the tree.
Shep just flew up on the branch at 10 o'clock.
I'm not sure what limb Shep flew up to sit upon.... Right off to the left of the nest
I WISH for a cam in the other nearby
tree to we had a full view of the
Sycamore Palace......
DID you hear me SANTA.......
More eagle calls and again not distressed.
I can see the tail feathers of an eagle at ten o'clock up the branch. It is where Shep had hopped.
Got a glimpse of the white tail.
Just seen his tail he is sitting on a stick on limb. Around 10 O'clcok area.
Hello Jim
You just missed our visitors on the
live feed. Hope you are well!
The water left outside for the squirrels was frozen this morning - that
is how cold it is!
Hi, Hedgie, thanks for asking! So happy to see you on the blog.
No job - I call the agency every week - nothing is opening up and I did not expect such a fight to get employed!
We have snow and then it melts. Lolly has more snow than me!
Can't post on the blog yet - sounds too depressing and nobody needs that at Christmas!! Let's just say I'm trying to keep my spirits up and I live vicariously through the Momsters and soon to be Momsters that are presently lurkers. Daughter Nikki is doing very well at UM - two more weeks until end of semester - one down and three to go!
Would love to have the view from another cam.
Wonder if they are having HP on the cam LOL
Noise on camera casing?
I must eat lunch --
Shaking that tree!
Get dressed and head to Dr......
Keep watching!!! and Reporting!!!
JO Good Luck with your appointment. See you when you come home...♥
I was on the other side of the kitchen and heard some kind of commotion in nest area. Not sure what it was.
Hello Eagle Family!!
Just popping in for a quick moment.
Things are NOT going well with Mom. I don't know if she has gone crazy or what, but it's bad.
She has no strength, cannot use her arms and legs, and constantly cries for help. She wants me there 24/7 and I just can't be.
I am hoping for a psychological consult and a neurological consult today.
I see you're enjoying Belle and Shep and that is wonderful to see.
Wishing I could be with you more, but I just can't get a break. I'm exhausted, worn out, and emotional wreck, and just about at my witts end.
I am praying that God guides me in where He wants me to be and what He wants me to do, because I am really at a loss here and am torn. I want to go home!
Love to you all.............
PS: LYNN - You have mail!!
No snow here, but snow in Colorado when we visited there last week.
Lynn is having Hyperthyroidism bad???
Oh, Linda! ((Hugs))) Wish we could help you. Saying a prayer right now!
Decided to watch the cam during my lunch/planning period - WOW!! So glad I did; got to watch both eagles while I ate! Great to see them working on the nest. When would you expect they'll start "gettin' busy" as my 8th graders would say (you ladies refer to it as HP)??
Praying for Lynn. She has been through so much.
Thanks Lolly and all of you, who I know are sending love, hugs, encouragement, support, understanding, hope for peace, and prayers my way.
I feel the love!!
Hugs Linda,
Prayers that a solution for all is found soon.
Hope there is a hospital chapel or some such, where you can go to find some peace.
Agonize with you, as so many of us could be in your position.
Stay strong, know that many prayers are coming your way.
Prayers and good thoughts for you and your family, Linda.
LINDA hang in there...stay strong. Prayers come your way. Don't let your MOM drag you down and get some relief by allowing others to help her too. You can not be there 24/7. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
Took my laptop with me to put make up on. LOL And then Shep poofed.
Off now to start my day!
See ya!
Linda if they do have a chapel..when Dad was very sick. I always found comfort in going to the Chapel they had at the VA Center. We love you and hugs coming your way with prayers. Prayers that they can make your mother comfortable. Prayers that you feel Gods Love for you and that your health stays good. Remember to eat and drink something. We love you and are with you always.
Dana - what do you mean?
Lynn is having Hyperthyroidism bad???
I wondered about that too JO!!! What is going on???
Praying for Lynn for sure.
I've finally go a referral to an Ophthalmologist on the cataracts, so I'd better get ready and call in for an appointment.
Later, everyone.
C(°ٿ°)D Jim
Back for a moment, and see that Linda has checked in. Oh, Linda! Prayers going up for you, and for your Mom! Wish I could be there to help you! Hope they can do consults today, and let you know what's going on. Is Dennis with you, or at home? Hope he's doing well. (((HUGS))) for you!
Hi, Jim!
Hope you are able to get an appointment really soon! Prayers regarding that!
Did anyone's Live Feed freeze??
Yes, Jo, mine's frozen at an hour and almost 38 minutes. Have a black circular arrow in the center of the screen going around and around.
Have hit the play arrow a few times now, but no go.
Refreshed the page, and now the cam's working again. No eagles, though. MT nest.
Thanks, Andy!
Dennis is home. I didn't want him to have to deal with the stress here, and it was better for him to stay home with the animals and the house.
He is a homebody anyway!! He misses me terribly, as I do him, but he is so understanding. He is behaving himself, but is getting pretty lonely!
Thanks for asking!
Oops--Emma wants to go outside. Will be back in a few minutes.
Thanks Andy - mine seems to have started up again......
Out the door I go
BBSoon.........
(((((HUGS))))) Linda!
I go to the doc at 4:30 to get these nodes check under my jaw. If it ain't one thing, it's two!
Thanks, Sharon!!
(((HUGS))) to you, too. Prayers the nodes are nothing to worry about!
xoxo
Love you LInda....stay strong! (((Hugs)))
Thanks, Paula!! Love you, too!
xoxo ♥
Well, I do think that looks like a deer leg...if you blow up the screen you can see the hoof on the left side.
Headed off to yoga. See you all later.
Well there you have it Sandi, "gettin' busy" is certainly not something you would hear my kinders say! LOL!
Well, took Emma out to go potty, and when we came back in, one thing led to another. Have done some major damage control on my appearance, and am about to go do weekly grossery shopping. Will check in later today. Have a good "Red Friday," everyone!
Ew...have fun grossery shopping Andrea. Better you than me. I hope to avoid that this weekend.
Thanks, too to Carol Anne, Shirley, WVDana, Jo and so many others. I am sure I will miss some, but hope to catch up one of these days!!
NCSuzan - So sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis and that you are suffering with that. I hope you are able to find comfort measures as you are looking for. Keeping you in prayer.......
Prayers for Diane's surgery and healing.
Well on eof the joys of being in a Catholic (or any church school) is being able to gather together for our school liturgies. Today's was beautiful as always. I enjoyed being able to take that hour out of my day today and remember all of you in my prayers. So many needs and prayer requests. I hope I remembered everyone.
One of my sweet kindergarteners was conducting the choir from our pew. I had a hard time not bursting out laughing...
Linda, glad you could join us for a little while this afternoon...that's the kind of break you need! Don't forget some exercise, even a walk around the rehab center parking lot would do you good!
Wind has picked up at the nest.
I've gotten the circling arrow twice today!
Dana, that sure is a cute mental picture of one of your K kids!
DanaMo, Your munchkins might use the phrase, but they would be referring to something completely different! But if your 8th grader says it, you'd better sit him down for a talk!! =)
Paula - My cousin has a beautiful condo on the beach here on Hillsboro Mile and they have invited me to stay there with or without them this weekend. We are going to sit on the balcony with the ocean breeze tonight and relax and visit. Then maybe go out to dinner......God willing.
I have to give myself a break from the hospital today physically, although I have been in touch with case workers, nurses, etc regarding the plan of action.
Looking forward to a restful evening!
Thanks..........and you are right. ♥
Well my 8th grader is a girl, and she is still pretty naive, I don't think she will be saying it anytime soon. My boys neither, and they are 20, 18, and 16. And no I'm not blind, or naive, but that is how my kids have been raised and I've been lucky that what we have taught them has stuck thus far.
I do NOT have hyperthyrodism. I have no idea where DanaWV came up with that notion. Geesh.....I've got enough problems as it is.
Catching up with you all. Sounds like a GREAT nest visit. Look at pics I put in album this morning and you can see Belle's inverted V fairly well in one of them.
Oh, Linda, so sorry things are not going well. Your email went into my spam again.....getting ready to read it now.
Suzan---LOVE the eagle pic......left you a question in my comment.
JIM---get that apptmt. made and get those cataracts taken care of!! You won't believe the difference once it's done!!
Hello Ladies and Gents. Haven't been on in quite a while and decided to check on Belle. I went to the camera first and see on their forum that there has been a fair amount of "violance" and saw that some are saying Lib is back and Truder is gone?? Now I see a reference here to "Shep"?
Would someone mind catching me up real quick? I promise I'll be a good reader from here on out! :)
EAGLES
So happy to see both eagles in the nest. I just returned and havenot read back. Will do so when the visit is over.
They really don't like being in living color do they?
The colour image is definitley a lot clearer in tems of telling the markings. I think they are about to poof!
There they go
left from three position.
BELLE POOFED OVER 2... SHEP OUT OVER 4
Christine, the former "Truder" has been named Shep. That is his official name, Named in honor of Shepherdstown.
Hoda, love your lotus avatar. I remember what you said when you explained for affection for it everytime I see it.
Been wondering where you went, Christine.
Linda, you have mail!
Sissy and Sharon: play nice!!! "Sisters, Sisters...!"
Remember that song from White Christmas???
Suzan....you have mail!
Honestly Stronghunter, I had to step away for a while. I was following 4 nests and after all the drama with several of them I needed to not be so "involved". It was my first year watching and especially what happened here in Shepherdstown really upset me. I know, sounds wimpy but that's what it was. I grew up near Sheperdstown so this nest is a little more special :).
What are they talking about with the violance? Why are they insisting that Lib is back? More of the same crazies saying crazy things?
I hope everyone has been doing well. I'm heading out to Washington State in 2 weeks and am hoping there are still some eagles about while I'm there.
Some at OC believe that Lib is back. I don't think anyone on here shares that belief.
As to violence, some at OC believe there has been some fighting among the eagles. They do look like something has happened. But they may have had their heads into some prey or something like that. Not sure.
Both Belle and Shep have spots on their heads.
Howdy, Hoda!!!!
And Hi, Christine! Noce to have you back with us.
I missed that visit. Had to go to PC and didn't have cam up on it. DUH!!!
Got my Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from insurance company......hospital bill (not including surgeon) was almost $20G!!!! I only owe $250 co-pay!!!!
Pretty darn good, I say!!!
Christine, from my experience a lot of what is written on the OC forum is speculations and jumping to erroneous conclusions. From my observations there has been no violence in the nest since last March when the then intruder showed up. The intruder/ Truder is now called Shep in honour of Shepherdstown where the nest is located and with our hope that he will shepherd many new eaglets towards fledging...
One of the OC posters has been writing about a lot of violence.
Not sure what they think they are seeing or hearing.
Will return later. I need to round up my grandson.
Hang around, Christine.
Hey Hedgie, glad to be back :). I don't know if anyone has heard, but NX from Hampton Roads was found injured in VA yesterday. She is back at the wildlife center and in good hands. They're still evaluating her injuries.
http://www.wildlifecenter.org/wp/2011/12/injured-nx/
Eh LYNN VERY GOOD NEWS your portion of the co-pay. You do have good coverage THANK GOD.
I heard geese at the nest. It also seems windy.
No Christine I had not heard that NX was found injured. She went back to a good centre and I will look forward to hearing about the nature of her injuries. Thanks for letting us know.
We try to not do the name calling in regards to the OC site, so I just see it as their experience of seeing things and jumping to conclusions instead of assigning it an adjective reflecting on anyones mental state...just a word of a caution and consideration to them.
RIBS are in the oven, warming up. Smelling V ERY good!!
Sorry Hoda, I'll do better. I guess I'm still a little bitter about last season. I need to not even read the forum :) We all have our own opinions and conclusions and I guess unless we're at the sight and with them 24/7 we don't know the whole story.
Suzan, the adhesive capulitis (also called frozen shoulder) is a very misunderstood condition. It WILL eventually resolve on it's own but can take a couple of years. Physical therapy and NSAID's are a must. Around here the orthos usually do a manipulation under anesthesia to break up the adhesions. It CAN be related to lung disease, but more often associated with trauma. I know people who have had shoulder replacement who didn't do their therapy the way they should have and end up with it...and people suffering with a severe bursitis in the joint who don't move it enough can get it, too. I am thankful that when I had awful bursitis that ortho sent me to therapy for 4 weeks after he injected it. Know you must be suffering......praying that you get relief soon.
Oh Christine, Iplease not to be sorry...it was just a word of caution. WE ARE VERY HAPPY TO HAVE YOU HERE. It was a tough year last year indeed. I learnt a lot from it and I am aware about how fragile the eagles world is. I am also stunned by the size and shape of the nest...Nu, the camera repair chap stood in it and there was lots of room to spare....gracious me...Where do you live now Christine? Do you still have a chance to retrun to Shepherdstown?
Whoops! I'm Back from foot dr. All is well. Came home and hubby clipped my fingernails. He is good doing that.
We have eaten dinner - A big fat
Cheeseburger!
6 Corn muffins, Jo!!! Big ones...not those little things that Cracker Barrel has!!!
Oh I see in North Carolina...Christine
Guess I'll give up for the evening and go feed the dogs and the family. Later all!
I am starved, the yogurt and cereal I ate in the morning have already served their purposr. I will go get some food...BBL. I will bake some squash and see about protein, probablyu a tofu cassarole
Christine, thanks for the info on NX---had not heard. Haven't even looked at Facebook today...it is probably on there. Thankful that she was recovered and is back in good hands with the great crew at WCV!
Lynn, thank you so much for the list! And we are trying to find out where the picture was taken. It looks like a couple of places, Colington Harbor or Pirates Cove. My daughter left a comment on her friend's FB page. Hope to hear back! Linda, thhank you for your concern. Don't worry about me. I am concerned for you and your Mom. She will probably need a lot of physical therapy. Her strength and muscles are zapped from "resting"!
The best way to help her is to take care of yourself. I am glad you have a diversion coming up. Enjoy it.
Great CBS line-up tonight---new episodes of some fav shows! Whew---another date with Tom!!!!
There is also a PBS special of Andrea Bocelli this evening! Got it set to record, too! Check yoour local PNBS schedule!
Jo, your house looks so pretty. We started yesterday.
What a great Eagle viewing day!
Lynn - the co-pay - I think that was
your miracle! ♥
Hi Christine - Glad to have you with us
We are all hoping that this season will
be NORMAL!
Christine is from Huntersville, N.C., my old family home. I went to first and second grade at the elementary school there. Funny thing, my first grade teacher was Miss Hunter, and of course my maiden name is Hunter. No relation to the teacher that I know of, though.
Things should be picking up at the nest soon, Christine. About time for the eagles to get the nest ready and start hp (mating).
Suzan, I think today's visit was the best that I have seen. I always miss
the early morning one and then most times I am having dinner or out and about some where that I miss their dusk
visit. So today around noon was great!
Suzan - I did order some of the cards
which you had found online! ♥
