It is time for me to spend more time watching the eagle cams that I love and less time working on getting out the info. There is an abundance of info now available for the NCTC Eagles Liberty and Belle. I believe all of you who are subscribed to this Feed from this NCTC BLOG are active Momsters getting regular emails or lurkers or Bloggers at the BLOG, as am I. Therefore this BLOG really no longer serves any needed purpose. It is time for me to put down a seperate blog for Lib and Belle . They will always have a seperate special spot in my heart and I will feature them at times on The For the Love of Eagles Blog, which will also become less active but cover highlights of the upcoming Eagle Season.
I will be leaving what is currently here as a Memory to the first and second season and all that was shared together at that time.
I do wish and look forward to watching and enjoying a new season with this special pair. I also look forward to the chance to meet those of you who plan to come to the NCTC Open House on Oct 20. After seeing them for 3 nights in a row on our new cam, I am now convinced that I just might get a chance not only to meet many of the Momsters, but also to see this Beautiful pair of eagles.
Godspeed Lib and Belle. You two have changed my life.....and from what I have read and heard, I am not the only one.

We Still love you Spunky...Happy Flag Day!!!
An Eagle named Spunky:
Did not come into this country with an easy life ahead. It would be a struggle. It would take courage, stamina, perseverance, lots of hard work and fortitude....Could it be done? Would it be done? We watched it played out before our eyes from a nest in West Virginia. There are pages of information about this nest from 2006, and Spunky in particular, so I will not retell it all here today. A brief video will tell the story of an eagle and a nation.
Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagles Fly
Spunky's story
The play by play of Spunky's fledge
This eagle is not so different from each of us ...life holds for us times of needed courage, fortitude, hardwork, struggle, and perseverance. When you watch that bird that symbolizes the United States of America; and now that you have learned so very much more of how that beautiful soar actually came to be, remember that as a country we too must continue to struggle and persevere often through hard times. The young eagles today are a sign of the struggle courage and perseverance of those who Soared before.
There is a lesson here as we enjoy the success of young fledging from an eagles nest, and soaring into the freedom into which they were born. I am not sure where you see yourself playing out the role of an American, but those who came before you have passed a rich Heritage to you. I hope that you will guard it well, and preserve it for many a generation to come.

Did You Know about this?
There is still a shop where you can purchase Eagle items to benefit the NCTC eagle cam project?
Did you know that newly designed items continue to be added to this shop.
Do you need a Patriotic T Shirt or perhaps one with a Christian Theme from Isaiah 40:31?
These shirts are now available in the store.
All proceeds continue to be sent to Friends of NCTC for their eagle cam project.
Yes the cam needs help. Yes there are big plans in the offing for next year. Come alongside and help us out won't you?
You can see many more items and read more about these shirts here at my Cafe Press Shop for Eagle Lovers that I continue to stock with "Our Beautiful Eagle Family from Shepherdstown WV.

Momsters head to the nest. Liberty and Belle do NOT disappoint
Words cannot fully describe how beautiful the events of today have been. Six
of us momsters were in attendance at NCTC at 10:00am give or take a few
minutes. Norma,Helen (Mits), Jill, Wanda (Costumelady), Robyn (Robyanne),
myself & my daughter Jennifer. Thelma, Steve's appointed welcoming committee
of one met us and gave us the scope on things we could do. Steve was on a
break from his meeting & met with us for about 10 min and then Thelma took
us a short tour. We were then set lose!
We viewed the exhibits at the Auditorium Bldg and then all 6 jumped into 2
cars and headed for the road by the barn in front of the Sycamore Tree!
There waiting for us was OUR EAGLE - up on his high branch above the nest.
We were all so excited & some of you very well know the feelings we were
having! He sat there for a very long time giving us the profile look and
then would look right down on us.I was excited and didn't time his visit but
it must have been a good half an hour or more. Finally off he flew & we
followed his majestic flight which we think led him towards the river. We
then went to the Commons Bldg & visited the gift shop. Up to the cafe where
we met Steve & enjoyed the delicious lunch food and the conversations
amongst Momsters & Steve. It was so relaxing & comfy-the buildings are
beautiful. Down we went to the gift shop & made some purchases of eagle
items! Young lady clerk said she had never sold so much eagle merchandise
before. We then explained why that was!! We then planned to end our day with
some of us going back over to the nest just in case...... AND THERE SHE WAS
WAITING FOR US! On a different branch - lower in the tree but still above
the nest. The visit wasn't long but it was so beautiful to see her take
flight! Lots of hugs between the Momsters and lots of smiles of happiness
until we all got on the right road to go home with all of our memories of
today.
Thanks for sharing these memories MeMa Jo
