CHECKING IN

Weather notes from Delmarva:  the rain and wind have knocked our home phone lines out of commission again, so I'm at the college library reading email and checking alerts.  An amazing day that began with torrential rains after midnight which continued all morning, and now have turned into snow.  We looked out the window mid-class and saw swirling white.  The winds are gusting up to 40/50 miles an hour.  Because of this the EagleCam has been knocked awry, and you can't see much in the nest.  It does sound like the third chick has hatched, from what today's eagleblog entry says.  I was too busy yesterday to check in on them, so this is probably old news to you other eagle-checkers.  Feel free to send me updates any time you feel like it, as I will be somewhat out of things for the next couple of weeks.  Trying to survive until Good Friday, when spring break begins.

The third chick is hatched.  You can see it in one of the galleries.  I wonder if there's any way that they can get the Eagle cam realigned....

Due to your very recent wind and snow storm I'll tread lightly on the fact that our wether here is sunny, calm and a balmy 70 outside.  The nights are cooling off down into the high 40's, low 50's.  We do still have a little creek running paralell to the driveway and down the ravine.  Will most likely run for another month.  After all the greenery fades away into brown from the summer heat we'll have a more-dangerous-than-usual fire season for the summer.  I guess every place has its drawbacks.  Hang on 'til spring break, it's just around the corner.  Paulette

That Friday will indeed be "good," won't it?  Hang in there.
