Suki, I cried when I saw that this afternoon, I really felt the loss.
I have watched those eagles every day since the eggs were laid. Watched them hatch and watched the little ones grow and just last week we all gathered at work to watch them band the babies.
I read tonight that dad had come back with a fish, so I hope he can take care of them.
But it's sad. I never got over Bambi's mother dying, and this is so much worse because they're real.
The mama eagle lost her first mate when he got hit by a plane, and now she died the same way, it's not fair.
Down with planes, I say! Birds were there first.

Just came from watching the Eagle Cam the chicks are all alone they are saying the dad is perched in another tree maybe mourning the loss of mama?
The good news is that there will be people to step in if and when it is needed but if papa already fed them once the chances are pretty good he will continue.
I have no whines after that I do however feel really bad for the crew of the airplane they must feel very icky even though its not there fault.

Very sad whenever any amazing creatue dies.... sigh.
can't whine after that, my whinge about the new neighbour taking in my mail and going away meaning I cant set up internet at myn ew house seems so...... meaningless in comparison.
Ann.. I too would like to know where the perfect swimsuit comes from.
TOI...high five on the clothing karma..must be the kiwi hunour kicking in.
Hev..nevermind the cost to fly coast to coast..how about NZ to USA?? Money never seems to accumulate like it used to.
Love and Hugs to all the whiners

A Confession: I learnt about clothing karma the hard way. I have the perfect (wait for it and please bear in mind that I am a kiwi living in a provincial town) track pants. My track pants are amazing...I have buns of steel and legs like a gizelle when I wear them and everyone walking past whispers "skinny" or "cute" (Ok, so the comments could relate to my dogs, but whatever). But having the perfect trackpants means that when I go to the beach in my swimsuit, people ask when the baby is due and dresses are just not on the menu.
This wedding in 4 days...ummm...this isn't THE wedding is it? (Y'know, the one which has resulted in Glee being kicked off the TV in favour of Kate and Will)

Sewing was much the same as my cooking.

TAKE OFF GLEE FOR THE ROYAL WEDDING??????????????????????
NOT on MY watch! Quick TOI, jump on supersonic jet or in handy kiwi-time-machine and you can watch it at my house.
Other whiny news? The farmers I've seen today are all complaining about the recent good weather. Apparently it is NOT a nice warm April, it is the pre-Apocalyptic drought ushering in the end of the universe (that or the price of milk & spuds is likely to rise...)

It will be warm out but rainy and blowy so must stay inside today to not drown.

Daughter asked me a question regarding decorating and colors for the condo. Her father told her that she would be better to ask him about such things..mom isn't good at those things. 
How sad....but true.

I found out (google) about the mama eagle yesterday just before they announced it on the eagle cam blog...and have been crying... 
It's amazing how we can bond so easily over the web huh? (y i luv you whiners?)
They moved the chicks this morning to the Wildlife Center in Waynesboro VA. I watched the them being lowered from the nest one at a time. It's so sad....but if this was a typical situation the babies chances would have been slim.
Their older 'brother' Buddy also at the WC but unlike him, they will be released as soon as they are ready. I believe he was removed from the nest due to having Avian Pox and a growth on his beak.
(((mama eagle))) ((((babies)))) ((((papa eagle))) (((( the pilot ))))
to mama eagle
may you soar so high and free
from the 'bonds of earth'

TOI..trackpants are the staple of any GREAT wardbrobe and if one looks great in them anything ought to be possible. What I want to know is where does one get buns of steel and legs like a gizelle?
Ann.. I too was booted out of home economics after a shameful incident involving burning a pot while boiling water.
Whine... rain rain go away...thats it winter almost here already..its gonna be a long one.
Whine on

CMC, I cried yesterday and was really sad about the mama eagle dying, then composed myself for work today and then cried again when I checked in at noon and the nest was empty.
I know it's all for the good, moving the babies, but I sure will miss them. I'm just glad they will be cared for.
LTT, Fandy and I can come help you decorate once we get our bathrooms done. I'm still procrastinating, just been too busy to give it proper thought and do it.
I shall resume the dress hunt this Saturday so will hold my whines until then.
