I don’t know if there are other eagle nests around there or not. It’s never been stated in any of the chats.
The young osprey pair sure did a lot of work on that nest last summer. It needed it! Great horned owls don’t do ANY repair work on nests.
Good evening, radu....are you still cold? Rain in the forecast?
How are the kitties with the cold?
Evening, Kathy! Love cute brave doggies!
Indeed...it was an awful mess by the time the owlets fledged! LOL! I was kind of hoping maybe the ospreys would stay and have a family there. Someone suggested that they might have been too young yet.
Yes, still pretty nippy here but not quite as bad as this time last night. A warming trend is on the way for a few days.
There’s rain in the forecast for the next few days and I hope we get a decent dose of it. They put a LOT of brine on the roads and now that it’s dry, the salt is being kicked into the air by passing cars. The air is full of the salt dust and it wreaks havoc on the sinuses and lungs. We need rain to wash it off the roads asap.
Kittehs are still in front of the heaters like road kill. LOL! It’s a little chilly in this old house and they aren’t very happy about it.
Did you find your mom’s glasses yet? I keep wondering what oddball place she left them. That’s the way it usually works out. :-)
Did you watch Finding Bigfoot? I like that show. And I like Mountain Monsters, too. LOL!
I saw the listing for Finding Bigfoot when looking for something to watch but saw The Haunting and that was my choice. Was in the mood for some heebie-jeebies. LOL
What kind of critters are considered mountain monsters?
They do leave the nest a wreck. It would be pretty much uninhabitable this year if not for the ospreys.
I saw mention that the pair might have been too young for a clutch last year but they sure went through the motions. Maybe they’ll be back again next summer and will be old enough this year. That would be nice. The first nest cam I ever watched was an osprey nest at Wilmington, NC. That was about 10 years ago.
WOW!! You are just piling up the snow. Watch for crazies if you must go out.
It would be neat if they would come back. I don’t know that much about ospreys.
The first nest I watched was Decorah and it was at the old nest and the cam was just horrible! LOL! How things have improved since then! Thank goodness!
Are you looking for another doggie pal?
Guess I’d better head out for the evening...or morning! :) Getting up so early after a restless night worrying about Peaches has me tired. Well, that and it’s nearly 2am. I’m sure that couldn’t possibly have anything to do with my eyelids drooping! LOL!
See ya tomorrow! Hope it warms up there for you...maybe some of the kitties will go outside to run off that excess energy!
Thanks, unique.

There was a pair of ospreys, briefly, at the nest a couple of years ago so they do keep an eye out for abandoned eagle nests. I imagine there’ll be a pair this year, too, and odds are it’ll be the young pair again. They liked that nest.
Yeah, the old Decorah cam wasn’t very good at all. Things are much better now.
I do wish Savannah would go back to their old server though. I don’t like HDonTap. Constant problems with it. One would think they’d have learned a lesson after last year but nooooooo. And it’s messing up even more nowadays.
Gonna be a lot of grumbling after Momma settles in and the owlets hatch.
((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. Thanks for this morning's thread, Star. How's it going?
Good morning, Sandrat. How’s it going?
Yes, 7 a.m. was a looooong time ago. Hope you get a better night’s sleep this time.
Enjoy your springtime temps. We won’t be quite as warm as y’all but it’ll feel great after highs in the low 20s.
We aren’t letting the cats out for a while yet. It gets dark early and they don’t always show up by then to come in. That’s how we lost Raivis.
Sleep well. See ya tomorrow. :-)
Might as well go for it. :-)
