Just a quick update...all looks good at the North nest. It's amazing how quickly they grow! And the original nest, just checking some updates about it, all sounds good with 3 eaglets there. Of course we can't see them this year but the Raptor Resource folks on the ground are able to do some degree o...

Low imby was 34.2, current is 51.8, so as expected, a nice warmup. Finally a dry Saturday. The last couple have been pretty wet!

Have a fun trip Les, safe travels! And happy early birthday!

That’s a good question Eric. I’m no cicada expert but my thought on that is that if there were trees there 17 years ago, there will still be cicadas emerging. I guess any eggs that were laid could have been displaced and destroyed if stumps were ground out. Like I said, not an expert just a curious ...

Anyone else seeing the holes in the ground? Over the last week or so I've seen several and I'm pretty sure I heard that the ground temp is in the range for their emergence. After the rain we're getting I'd start watching for them over the next week. There has been a lot of talk in local media lately...

Event total imby is 1.19" with 0.93 falling since midnight. A good soaking rain. Here come the cicadas!

Just found this thread! Is anyone else a space exploration geek like me?!! I have been fascinated with everything that is happening with space exploration and the partnership of NASA with SpaceX. And how about Perseverance on Mars and the flight of the helicopter, Ingenuity!!! Ingenuity took it's fi...

So, a long overdue update on the eagles!!! The 2 eaglets at the North nest have reached what I call the dinosaur stage! They are getting big and so far so good, healthy. The first year for eagles is, as with many creatures in wild, pretty challenging and I've heard that 50% of bald eagles do not mak...

What a week! Have really grown accustomed to these cold snaps but the 3" of snow was quite the surprise. Knew it was supposed to snow but only expected a dusting. Thankfully, our landscape seems to have made it through and our Japanese maple was snug under a canopy tent walled up with blankets....

Great pics all! Bgoney, the lawn mowing one is awesome! I’m sure I cleaned 3” off the car this morning. Gotta admit, was not expecting that much. It was beautiful while it lasted! The contrast of white snow and bright greens of spring were beautiful! JP, sorry you had a limb drop but thankfully you ...

Playing catch up here! Loving those pics, Les!!! Glad you've been able to get out on the water and catch! Tim, glad your procedure went well and you are on the mend! And say it isn't so, one of the GFS runs had potential for a hard freeze next Weds?!!!! Noooooo! Hoping that has changed. Current temp...

Where does the time go. I have lots of catching up to do!! Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!!

This spring has been awesome! Yes, the cold last week was a challenge but wow, things are looking amazing as you drive around! My high yesterday was 81.

Les, enjoy your vacation!!!

Welp, been super busy and just now had time to check the North nest. Eaglets are getting bigger!! I missed the bobble head stage! Good to see they are doing well and thriving. This nest has a history of challenges and the last couple of years they have lost eaglets for various reasons. Really glad t...

Both eggs have hatched and we now have 2 bobble heads!! I briefly checked the other day and caught that the second egg hatched, I think it was Saturday. Two bobble heads is more fun than one!

Happy April!!! Have had 2 waves of impressive snow showers blow through! Currently 32 imby. Low was 30.6. Enjoying the magnolias while they are still beautiful. At least they had a chance to open up this year! We have one in our yard, corner of the house and my neighbor has one in her front yard, be...

Woo hoo! Just checked the north nest and we have a bobble head!!! Hatched yesterday morning and now we await egg #2!
When there are 2 bobble heads, it gets real fun! Lol

Just a quick eagle update....the North nest is within a week of hatch! I'll try to stay on top of it and let folks know when we can see those bobble heads!

Oh... and don't forget to spring forward before you go to bed tonight! :grin: Good reminder for us all, Les! On that note, on the old forum, we had to manually adjust for DST in our profiles. I took a quick look in my profile and don't see that anymore so I assume with our new platform, that is no ...

Hey Les!! Thanks for opening a thread for the invasion!!! Already some great discussions. Thanks for that map, Bgoney! I'm just fascinated with the whole thing and really, 17 years ago, this year seemed so far away and yep, I'm excited it's here. We have a big oak in our front yard and I remember it...

It's been so nice the last several days, perfect for yard and beds cleanup. Just a thought...this spring is the big one for cicadas!!! It's hard to believe it's been 17 years! Not sure if we want a dedicated thread for tracking emergence or just discuss here? My son sure had fun with them when he wa...

Had a little rain roam through here too. Didn't hear any thunder but picked up 0.07". Interesting weather day for sure.

Wow, Les!! First, that meat thermometer looks awesome!!! I thought I was going big time when I upgraded to a digital some years ago! I don't do the grilling or smoking like you do but for someone who does...that's awesome!! Have fun with it! Your chicken sounds great!! Let us know how it turns out! ...

Ah Les!!! Thank you for getting this thread going again! You have the best link posted to follow the eagles. I've been slacking on following them this year but will work on that!! This year, the nest we have always watched appears to be abandoned and the parents have built a new nest, no camera. So,...

Hey guys, thanks so much for the continuous rebuild and improvements here! First time this week I've hopped on and it's exciting to see how things are progressing! Aaron, one of the best things for my usage is the mobile friendly component. I stopped using tapatalk months ago and dealt with the site...

Total so far is 1.87”. Creek did get a good wash out!!!

Wow!! No wonder I was getting nothing yesterday trying to get on for the first time in a couple of days. lol

Good to be back and thank you Trevor and Les and anyone else I've missed, getting us back together!!!
