Steven, Thanks for the cool site

Just Vicky said...

Wow, cool! New threads!

Just Vicky said...

How do we rate??

floralgirl said...

Wow! is right, thanks Steven, really great pictures.

paula eagleholic said...

Did ya'll see those pictures?

Stunning!

Just Vicky said...

Be better if they were Todd's pictures!

floralgirl said...

They are great, Paula. I really like the the 6th one where the eagle is flying straight at the camera. What a shot. And I would love to see a tree with 12 eagles in it, like one of the pictures shows.

wvgal_dana said...

Steven I can't find the words to show how thankful I am to have had the chance to see those great, beautiful and wonderful pictures.
Thank you so much for sharing them with us all.

Just Vicky said...

Which brings me to the question, Paula, somewhere down the line I don't know the web address for the products you are putting up for sale! Help!!

paula eagleholic said...

Vicky,
I am still working on the site, so it is not up yet. But, I will give you a clue - it could be:

www.eagletmomsters.com

In fact, I am working on it tonight.

Just Vicky said...

Thanks Paula!

Just Vicky said...

Hey FLoral Girl, do you like my basket and butterflies?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

What beautiful pictures. Thanks Steven.

floralgirl said...

I love it Vicky,it's really pretty. I liked that picture you showed the other day of that building with the planters full of flowers on it, too. Were they petunias ,I don't remeber. CRS

Steven, they are absolutely stunning! Thanks to you for all you have done for this group and for the eagles. Best wishes to NCTC and all it stands for. And starting with the children is great.

floralgirl said...

Hey Sandra!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

If it comes through right, my picture is now one that my brother took of an eagle at Dollywood. The eagle has a broken wing but is beautiful nonetheless.

floralgirl said...

Good nite Nilla- sweet eagle dreams!

floralgirl said...

Mealtime at Frodo cam- can see all 3 babies real well. Warning- very bloody meal...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Those babies looking up at their momma for that food is the most precious sight, especially from behind! Now if Lun Lun could figure out how to feed her baby with us watching like that, I would be a grateful soul! :)

floralgirl said...

Yea, they don't take their eyes off her.

wvgal_dana said...

Good to hear alittle from you Nilla; glad you are resting. That's a GOOD THING.

Sharon I am enjoying you new pic on here. Even went in to enlarge it. My that is a goreous eagle. Sorry on this browser I don't have spell check and I think I spelt goreous wrong sorry.

Mema Jo said...

GoodNight Nilla Keep resting well
Glad you saw the eagle pics from
Steve... We'll hear from you tomorrow. Since you gave me the word, I'll work on another get together for end of month!!!


Sharon no mail came through yet. I'll keep checking. Are you finished your work load now?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Not finished yet and feels like I am never going to be! This too shall pass, I keep telling myself! :)

paula eagleholic said...

Floral,
About as bloody as the others have been! I can't believe how quickly they are growing!

Nilla,
REST REST REST! Hope you feel better soon!

Sharon,
Loverly picture!

Mema Jo said...

Are you all thinking that it is Frieda and maybe not Frodo doing the feeding right now ?????

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

http://cnn-pandacam.wm.llnwd.net/
cnn_pandacam

Here it is. You will have to cut and paste it in 2 separate parts.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

ROFLMAO! I was trying to concentrate on the babies instead of the one doing the feeding so I wouldn't see the blood and guts. Have no idea who it was! :)

floralgirl said...

Yes, I don't really mind the blood and guts, except I was eating ice cream and sort of losing my appetite.

paula eagleholic said...

Awww, did you see the way she gathered them up?

I heard some people saw BUN BUN?

paula eagleholic said...

LOL @ Floralgirl! Yea, not a really good site to view when you're snackin'!

paula eagleholic said...

I don't think we'll have to worry about those "weeds" too long...all that poop should kill em off pretty quick!

glo said...

Wow what beautiful eagle viewing pictures!!! I think we all got out eagle fix today LOL. Nilla So nice to see you felt up to quickly stopping in so we dont worry about you. Will look forward to hearing more form you tomorrow. rest well tonight.

I am going to bed early...Its been a fairly long week here.

Good Night everyone...Rest Well...Will BLOG at you tomorrow.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good night, Glo. You've got mail!

floralgirl said...

Yep, me too- off to bed, eyes getting droopy...zzzzzz.....nite all.

paula eagleholic said...

Freida is checking something out -

Mema Jo said...

I got to see Buta Buta

Sharon Thank you so much!
Like you said before - there has to be a way to remove the F R A P S sign.

He really is a cute looking little bitty critter. LunLun just scoops him/her right up & rolls....
Loved It !!!!
I'll check out your mailing & forward to others.

paula eagleholic said...

NIte, Floral and Glo!

Sharon, you still working?

paula eagleholic said...

The only way to remove the "Fraps" sign is to pay for it....

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks for the video, Sharon. Amazing how that big huge panda picks up that tiny little cub ever so gently in her mouth...

wvgal_dana said...

To watch Lun Lun and cub on the windows media player is you alls in color or black and white??

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yes, Mema Jo, the only way to remove Fraps is to pay for it, which I plan on doing before eagle season again. I hated it got in the way of the little Buta Buta's face but it was better than nothing.

Paula, praise the Lord, I just finished working. Been a llloooonnnngggg day!

paula eagleholic said...

Anyone else think that might be Frodo w/ the chicks right now?

paula eagleholic said...

Mine is in color, Dana.

wvgal_dana said...

What do I need to do to get mine in color it is black and white???

paula eagleholic said...

No, I guess it's Freida.

paula eagleholic said...

Sharon,
I imagine you are pretty beat...

Mema Jo said...

Yes, I vote to say it is Frodo now with the chicks.

wvgal_dana said...

Paula or Sharon Ok I have windows media player. I see your http addy for the panda cam. Where do I put that http addy panda cam in order for it to go to my windows media player?

Mema Jo said...

CONGRATS PAULA #50

What do you want for your prize?

Mema Jo said...

Sharon, what time of day did you catch that Fraps?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mema Jo, I think it was around 8 p.m. As far as the black and white thing goes, that is the way it is with Tai and Mei too. At night, they go into that mode. I watched them changing the settings on the screen tonight for Lun Lun's cam.

Mema Jo said...

Time to watch some depressing news!
Then get ready to go to bed.
Then check back in one more time.

But just in case things don't work out that way, I better go ahead & say

GoodNight All My Eagle Buddies

Sweet dreams of all those eagle pics Steve gave us.............

Good Morning, Suzanne!

paula eagleholic said...

Jo,
Hmmm, hot fudge brownie sundae?

In media player, go to file, open url, paste link in there, then I think you add to media library, add url, and save it there

paula eagleholic said...

Going to watch a few minutes of the news, and then I know I'll be out, so going to say

good night eagle friends

Good Morning Suzanne

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Paula, I just saved mine under my favorites. Either way works though!

Paula, is yours of Lun Lun still in color?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, it is time for me to hit the sack.

Good night and sweet dreams, my friends of fine feathers and fur!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

For all you worrying Tai moms out there, he is on that daggone ledge again!

MITS said...

Well, I got home around 8:30 p.m., had a good day. Read and answered e-mails, spoke to hubby, read the blog and here I am. Haven't looked at any cams yet, going to do that now. So Good Night All! THANK YOU STEVEN FOR THE AWESOME PICTURES

Just Vicky said...

And all good eagle momsters signed off for the night! Good night!

Anonymous said...

Frieda off nest. Fuzzies showing.

movin said...

Geed ovening or gorn mooding, Aal...

I don't know what that's called, but once I got started it was kind of hard to stop.

Really great photos, Steve...they are in my "Favorites" list now.

Definitely glad Nilla is back amongst us, and also that the few of us with lesser ailments are getting better.

Anyone seen any of the Liberty-Belle family lately??

Thursday already...hope everybody enjoys it.

Eagle buddy,
Jim

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning Suzanne, Marie, Jim and Doreen and everybody else in eagle lan. Getting ready to start working.

Remember, do random acts of kindness. Rewards are great.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Miss Roly Poly Lun Lun is back live and in color! Doting on that little Buta Buta!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thanks, Suzanne. My brother took that picture at Dollywood. It had a broken wing so its permanent home is Dollywood. Sad but glad it is being taken care of.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Marie, Doreen, Sharon and Suzanne and lurkers.
Nice colored pic in windows media player Sharon of Lun Lun. TY Sharon.

Checked out NU and Blackwater nothing there at moment.

Suzanne did you get your phone call?

floralgirl said...

HAS ANYBODY SEEN THE SUN????!! PLEASE SEND IT MY WAY!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Floralgirl I seen it when I went to a site in Jamania hee hee

floralgirl said...

Jamaica sounds good to me!

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you for correcting my spelling sorry Sharon. I always feel badly when I mispell words. I which this had spell check. The Fire Fox site I have does but it won't let the blog up-date what people write. Looks like I'm the only one there all the time.

What are your plans for the day Floralgirl?

glo said...

Good morning all. Sorry its still raining east of me right now. My forecast is for Sunshine later today or perhaps by tomorrow at the latest, LOL. No really we have sun in the forecast today for the first time in like 4 days. very chilly this morning. I think the weather moves east from here, well unless you are causing some Southern Weather Event that is blocking the progress of the Sunshine I am trying to share with you. can't give it to you, I need it too LOL.
OK Off for coffee and dog treats. Will BLOG at you later.

floralgirl said...

Well, I'm making some hummer food right now, these rainy days have had me stuck inside, forcing me to clean house..help, I'm becoming domesticated!!

wvgal_dana said...

Suzanne I thought it was your home number. Let me know tomorrow in here if you got one on your cell.
Oh Boy I might have given someone else a "Happy Birthday" message LOL

I've been watching Lun Lun I just cried> Oh Sharon I got to see the baby (Buta Buta as you call him/her), it's still all white fuzzy no black yet. It's little feet were moving it was laying on its back.Him/her is so cute and tiny. Sniffle sniffle enjoying a part of life I would never have had a chance to see this well.

floralgirl said...

Yea Suzanne, I start to climb the walls when I can't get outside. I know what you mean about taking care of the hummer feeders. It is a lot of work. I'm lucky to work at home and have easier access to changing them. I know the hummers will leave soon:(( Last year I saw my last one on Oct. 1st. Already we seem to have a few extra birds that may have come from New England, NY area where the temps. have started to get cold, and our feeders are really being emptied as the birds bulk up for their journey. Always sad when they leave, spend all summer in the garden with them flying all around me, know some of them by sight, like pets to me, garden becomes so quiet when they leave.BOO_HOO!!

wvgal_dana said...

Floralgirl and Suzanne you just said a "dirty word" lol housecleaning especially vacuuming. Now that one is total not but yet there is the thing of have too.

wvgal_dana said...

Floralgirl I don't know if you would let me next year. When your hummers are all around you in your garden. I would love to visit you in the garden. To experience the greatness of hummers flying all around me. If one landed you me, well you can't pick me up just let me lie on the ground and enjoy it. What an experience for me that would be...on my..

wvgal_dana said...

I do miss my hummers from the other house. I am going to get me one of those plants next year that Jo got. It will be on my porch it is open and I can see from my windows. I wrote the name of the plant down.
Since I can't do gardening I figure I can do some pots on the porch and a few boxes that hang off the railing. That way it will be easy for me to take care of. Will have to find out from you Floralgirl or get from you plants to put next year in the hanging planters off railing (like window boxes but plastic)

floralgirl said...

Well, I guess next year I will have to invite some of you over to see my gardens and enjoy the hummers and other creatures that live here.

wvgal_dana said...

Suzanne I did see the one on 9/11.
Was this one today an adult?

floralgirl said...

I can definitely help you pick out plants to attract hummers next year.

wvgal_dana said...

Floralgirl that would me nice. A guided tour of your live garden creatures.
It will certainly be better I'm sure that Susan Crites tours of ghost.

More interesting and lively too. lol

floralgirl said...

Yes, no ghosts here!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, my dogs were outside barking and barking and barking. Two came in but Hairy stayed out there barking so I decided to further investigate. I found that he had treed a raccoon. It looks like a young one, absolutely beautiful. I got Hairy in so hopefully it will feel safe to come down out of the tree! Dogs, dogs. I didn't know Hairy was a coon dog! :)

floralgirl said...

I have noticed that the birds are starting to hang around the feeders more. We keep them filled year round, but there are so many seeds and berries and bugs during the summer, they don't eat as much sunflower seed. Large flocks of doves in the yard this week. Think dove hunting season has started or will soon, they can hide out in my yard. I know I am low on seed, need to go get some.

floralgirl said...

Eagle at BW looks so soggy, good spot to groom and dry off. I've got to get back down there this winter, we saw lots of osprey and a few eagles when we went 3 yrs. ago. We get a lot of skunks here to, always wary when we go out, we love to walk in the garden at nite, so far no close encounters there. Although one morning I was going out the door to my van at 3:30 am to head to DC for some wedding flowers and I walked around the corner and came face to face with a skunk. I have never moved so fast in my life!!

wvgal_dana said...

Suzanne do you think it is a young adult...it seems like its lived there forever...so comforty..just relaxing cleaning it feathers

wvgal_dana said...

Sharon Hairy says he's only doing what he was made to do lol .. He probably was telling you that the other dogs just reacted to him. Cause he is the great coon dog. lol

Skunks on my we have one (who knows maybe more I'm sure), and I call him Peppy La Pue wow he/she goes to peoples feeders and even in our yard are grugs. This all was an apple orchard and farm at one time. So in this ground is good eatens for skunks.

floralgirl said...

I leave my feeders up til I haven't seen any hummers for about a week. Other birds passing by your yard from further east will feed in your yard on their way by. Salvis Indigo Spires is one of my favorite plants, and the hummers love it! But it gets 3-4' tall and that wide.It is huge. There are so many other salvias that will work in pots. My pineapple sage usually doesn't bloom before the hummers leave. There is a great book called, A hummingbird in my house-the story of Squeak, by Arnette Heidcamp. It is about a woman in NY who found a hummer in her garden in Oct., long after he should have been gone, and brought him in to her sunroom and he stayed there all winter.It has beautiful pics and is a wonderful story.

floralgirl said...

Hi Doreen- yes, my life revolves around the weather. You might say we are obsessed with it at my house. It can make or break us The lack of rain when we needed it this summer cut my seaon short, costs me some major bucks. But hey, that's the lot of a farmer, already planting and planning for next year!!

wvgal_dana said...

Well gals I will catch up with you later.

floralgirl said...

Talk at ya later, Dana.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

They have some kind of crackling sound at Tai and Mei's place. Haven't heard noise out of there for a while.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I think they are trying and now I hear somebody speaking in the background in a language unbeknownst to me. Maybe it is Chinese and Tian Tian, Mei Xiang, Tai Shan know exactly what he is saying. They are Chinese, you know! :)

glo said...

WEll I'm off to walk at the Marina for a while Finally some sunshine

I see the talk about hummer plants is still ahnging around LOL. That's a good thing.
I definitely want some help with that in the spring

Blog at ya later.

floralgirl said...

ah, sun is trying to come out from behind the clouds. Off to get some work done. BBL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I hope these people taking at the National Zoo know their conversations are being broadcast. Could get pretty interesting for us and embarrassing for them.

paula eagleholic said...

Morning all, on this gloomy day! But I know the sun will shine soon! :):)

At least we have Floralgirl's, Dana's and Vicky's pretty flowers to brighten our day...

Sharon, is your sister doing any better?

floralgirl said...

Oops, Paula -just switched my pic.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

My sister is feeling some better although she still is in atrial fibrillation. Not sure what they are going to do about that yet. Thanks so much for asking.

paula eagleholic said...

That's ok Floral, I love hummers too. He can feed on Dana's posies!

Floral, I know what you mean about housework...YUCK! Would rather work outside than in...and usually do everything else but housework!

floralgirl said...

Yes, I am vacuuming up dog hair now even though I tried to convince the dog he should clean up his own hair, all he wants to do is attack the vacuum! Time to mop the floors...

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at BW!

paula eagleholic said...

Preening....maybe she'll stay awhile!

paula eagleholic said...

*** Eagle still at BW ***

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I have a million and 43 sparrows on my roof this morning. I told them to eat all they wanted to!! There are a few mourning doves mixed in the lot of them. I do still have my tailless sparrow!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Suzanne, you were right. He came right back!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

2 there now!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

It is so hard to get anything done with all these birds and animals being so busy! :)

paula eagleholic said...

**Eagle Pair at BW NOW!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, what a treat, they're gonna let us watch them eat!

paula eagleholic said...

No, Norma, I don't think so, but we can pretend!

floralgirl said...

Blackwater has many eagles that stay there, Norma. My friend who lives just a little down river from NCTC has seen adult eagles fishing in the river a couple of tilmes in the past 2 wks. Plenty of food around for our eagles, no reason to leave now.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks for that update, Floralgirl!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Isn't it just lovely!

paula eagleholic said...

Norma,
I love those feathered legs too....looks like they are wearing leggings...all eagles have those, look at the ones at BW now...

paula eagleholic said...

Suz,
Guess he went to find his own fish!

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle must be thinking he's still gonna get some,,,,back!

paula eagleholic said...

Guess she decided she really didn't want to share! Gone w/ the fish!

paula eagleholic said...

Normabyrd,
Yup, parents will stay, eaglets will migrate...

paula eagleholic said...

Suz,
Eagle minds think alike!

Pondering his next move....

MITS said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE Been catching up on the blog, interesting conversations this a.m. I just know in my HEART that our eagles are still viisitng our nest. Lisa said that some of the eagles at BW live there all year. Got to get there one day. Talk about cleaning, really should do that today. YUCK!

MITS said...

Loving that sound is back at National Zoo. SHARON I have heard some heated arguments between the construction people, some in English and some in another language.

MITS said...

And i am loving that EAGLE at BW!!!!

MITS said...

FLORALGIRL love your new hummer!!!

MITS said...

Must be raining in D.C.???

MITS said...

You can hear MEI bleating, she really does not like the drills.

MITS said...

They must be doing something at the ZOO, I keep getting knocked off their site. Reminds me of this blog.

MITS said...

SUZANNE, Tose eagles at BW are just fantastic. I am soooo enjoying seeing them.

MITS said...

Raining some hear at the ocean, but, not bad. Really should stay in and clean, but I don't want to....really would like to drive down to Asseateague Island to see the wild horses and other wildlife. Its only about a half hour drive. They have silka deer and probably osprey too.

MITS said...

He/She is looking straight at the cam. I'm thinking could be male. Aren't they smaller than the females.

Mema Jo said...

Well I made it before noontime --couldn't take my eyes off of the blackwater site & the adult eagles.
They are beautiful..

paula eagleholic said...

Mits,
I think that is a male too...think the female had the fish..

paula eagleholic said...

Mt nests in CT and NU...think maybe the Osprey has left CT...not sure, think I saw one there yesterday...but activity level there has definitely decreased...

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, Jo!

paula eagleholic said...

Mits,
Drove thru Asseateague some time ago when the kids were smaller...got to see the ponies...so neat to see them roaming around...

paula eagleholic said...

wax

paula eagleholic said...

Since no one was going for it!

MITS said...

Congrat on being #200, PAULA

Mema Jo said...

I was just about to state that my hummers have been missing for this week when I looked out the kitchen window & there he was! Still around.

I have good old dental this afternoon!
BBL

paula eagleholic said...

I'll take that with sprinkles, please!

MITS said...

MT nest at CT, but, I did see activity there on Tuesday.

paula eagleholic said...

*** 2 Eagles again at BW ***

MITS said...

Sprinkles or Sparklies??? Sprinkles sound like something you would put on ice cream.:):):)

MITS said...

2 EAGLES AT BW!!!!!!!!

MITS said...

SOMEONE IS FLYING BY...THEY BOTH LOOKED UP AT SAME TIME.

paula eagleholic said...

Wonder what they are watching?

paula eagleholic said...

Must be something flying around them...funny they are both looking at it at the same time...

paula eagleholic said...

Sparklies! Hmmmm, how about a wick? I could make some candles!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

There was just a touch and go on the NU nest. Eaglet landed in the nest and immediately flew up into the tree.

MITS said...

MMMM! Yes, PAULA Watch your wick!!!!

MITS said...

My oh My! they are the preeners, aren't they?

MITS said...

SHARON Your eagle is staring at me...is he mad at me??? :):):)

MITS said...

Wooo!! Chest out, stomach in.

MITS said...

Mom eagle must be doing her exercises

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

No, Mits, he is smiling at you and admiring you! He can't be mad at you cause he loves you!

MITS said...

Your right, SHARON I do see him smiling, and, I love him too.

MITS said...

SUZANNE work on that puter at home, these eagles sometimes visit at sundown.

MITS said...

RA-RO!!!! Seems to be a slight glare at BW!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Is anybody watching Tai and Mei now? I love having the sound. They are with people inside the gate.

paula eagleholic said...

Now, Now I know where the wick goes!

MITS said...

I am having a really hard time getting onto the zoo site, and when I get on, it keeps shutting down on me whenever I go to change cams.

MITS said...

Male eagle looks eagle-pecked. He is sitting there keeping his beak shut.

MITS said...

Yes, NORMABYRD it is so good to see the eagles, I'm loving every minute that they are there.

paula eagleholic said...

Mits, maybe it is one of those "Yes, Dear" kind of days!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

This is the afternoon funny show!! I love it.

I guess they are checking out the cams for the new areas but they are driving me nuts with it! They had Mei and Tai inside a gate. I guess they were moving Tian Tian back to somewhere else cause they were in his spot. Then they opened the gate and opened a door and Tai and Mei went through the door and they shut it. It was wonderful how they were talking to them, telling Mei she was a good girl and Tai he was a good boy in the sweetest voices. I would venture to say they do that even when the sound is off. How could you not love these precious babies!

MITS said...

Sure looks like it, PAULA

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am still patiently waiting for Lun Lun to leave Buta Buta again so I can frap him! :)

paula eagleholic said...

BBL, keep a watch on those Eagles for me....

MITS said...

SHARON And that is what you need in these early weeks of panda cub watching. That's why it would be nice to have sound, we could hear TAI alot, but could not see him unless the zoo got a good pic of him.

MITS said...

Eagle gone...eagle back..eagle gone again.

Anonymous said...

The Virginia Extra section of today's Washington Post has a story about George and Martha, the Wilson Bridge eagles. Yesterday's Metro section had a feature story on the sloth bears at the Zoo. I don't know how to get these stories on the blog, maybe somebody else does. Both stories are available at the Post's Web site.

Bird Girl said...

hello all, just peeking in! hope everyone is having a good day!

Nilla glad to hear you're improving. Percocet is a great medication, isn't it?!?!

Sharon (I think it's you, anyway...) hope your sister is getting better... Must be really difficult for you to see her like that...

All I'll be posting a couple of pictures in my album of our presentation last night, later on today sometime...


Check in later,

Bird Girl


p.s. My picture is of my Golden Hamster, Hammy. I know, not real original for a name...

MITS said...

SHARON The keepers are absolutely wonderful with the pandas. There is a good video, I think, somewhere on the animal planet about when they were getting ready to bring Mei and Tian to the zoo, and Brenda, the keeper was still emotional about Ling-Ling and Shing- Shing, even though they had passed away a couple of years before, I'll try to find it for you.

MITS said...

Thanks, SANDRA for the info!

Mauley said...

Good Afternoon dear friends, Hope everything is great for you. I have to get back to grading papers. Mid term coming up. BBL God Bless You all today. donna

MITS said...

Is that Mei or Tai laying there?

MITS said...

I've updated, checked and rechecked, and this computer is just giving me a fit today.

MITS said...

I want sparkly wax.

wvgal_dana said...

Bird Girl I love Hammy and the pic it's a great name

Paula I liked the "yes dear" lol. I'm glad you figured out the wick. That could have been a very bad experience for you. Plus how to explain it to the ambulance EMT or the ER dr I think there would have been laugher outside your curtain in the ER.

Norma I bet our Eagles are staying right around the area. Potomac hasn't froze over in a longggggg time.

MitsYes go to Asseateague Island while your in O.C. this time. It is wonderful having the wild horses even coming right up to car.

Sharon I copied the spelling off of Mits lol. I visited Tai and Mei awhile ago. Tai they were trying to find up a tree and Mei was laying on the sidewalk. Here is some ( ******* Angel Dust).

wvgal_dana said...

Mits have you deleted your temporary files????

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Then sparkly wax it is for you!

I think it is Mei lying there!

MITS said...

ROFLMAO..How would I do that DANA? Remember its me Mits, I don't know how to drive this thing. Didn't even know I could have temporay files are where to find them. Windows sent me 5 updates to update, don't know what they were and I let the windows defender scan my computer, because I have had so much problem with the zoo cam today.

I have returned from Dental - everything went well - just thought at one time that my jaws were going to lock! Can't have anything chewy or hard... I really want my Fudge Brownie sundae now!!!
You all have had a beautiful day with the BW site & visiting eagles! Love it! DC cam is rolling all over the place. Maybe this evening I'll get to see Tai & Mei. LunLun is really getting a lot of sleep! Guess she needs to build up her strength for what is to come in the following months.
Go see those ponies Mits! Mosquitos shouldn't be so bad with it having cooled down. Keep your windows up.
Hi Norma - I usually miss being on the blog when you are--Go to read your comments. Don't get in email jail!

Dr. Mits here, yes, NORMABYRD I think the ones in captivity are very comfortable with humans, but the humans are very respectful of the pandas, you just never know with wild or domesticated animals.
