Wow, new threads for the day! That Steven takes care of us!
THANKS STEVEN

Just Vicky said...

Hello Norma!

Just Vicky said...

We have beautiful sunny skies, lovely day weatherwise that is! As for activities, probably travel for 90 minutes to see my grandson play football!

Just Vicky said...

Those feathered legs are actually kind of funny! Wearing pantaloons!

Just Vicky said...

I'm just not use to seeing feathers on bird legs!

paula eagleholic said...

Happy Saturday!

Have a great day, whatever you are doing!

Just Vicky said...

Seems one by one people are waking up on here. Hi Paula!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning Vicky and Norma...won't be on here too long...have to do some teaching here at work today...hold the fort down!

Just Vicky said...

Norma gets to hold down the fort and the NEST! My grandson is only 7 and its more like a football little league I think, they play all positions! But he enjoys it.

Just Vicky said...

It's just hard for this fat old grandma to walk to where the playing field is!

Just Vicky said...

Norma, that is not a good subject, "My LunLun Cam!" NO I HAVE NOT Even this morning I redownloaded media player and now I can't even click on the media player to bring it up! Me and media player DO NOT GET ALONG!

Just Vicky said...

I can watch her on my husbands computer which is off to the side of my computer in my office! I saw the baby yesterday when she left it briefly! I bet he was lost without Mom!

MITS said...

GOOD MORNING ALL I'm packing up and going back to Bethesda for awile. VICKY I use the link SHARON sent to me and it works fine. Do you want it???

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning all my online Eagle Buddies
Norma I just had to save the Leggins Pic to my DeskTop so that I can see it constantly. I LOVE it.
Eagle was waiting for me at BW.LunLun is snoozing still. Was great seeing the video on their home page of the cub nursing. DC pandas looking thru the gate.

Blue Anonymous GET BOLD
Going over to read previous thread to see what everyone is doing today.
I know Paula is working & I hope Suzanne is hooking up that pc!

Mema Jo said...

I thought that was maybe you, Mits. Safe journey home!

MITS said...

Why thank you, NORMABYRD Opening day is usually great fun, with all the hoopla. More fun if it is a win. I'm more excited about seeing Maggie after the game.

MITS said...

JO ??????Who did you think I was??????

MITS said...

Yes, it was great to hear from NILLABEAN I'm praying for her recovery, like all of you are too.

MITS said...

Eagle back at BW!!!!

MITS said...

What a handsome eagle!!!!

MITS said...

Where did VICKY go???

MITS said...

Never mind she went to see her grandson play football, Just remembered

MITS said...

NORMA You have mail!!

MITS said...

OK!! I'm talking to myself, so, I will stop and go do some packing.

MITS said...

Eagle gone at BW!

Mema Jo said...

I took a time out & ate some breakfast & tried to gear myself into sitting down & paying these bills. Collectors gonna come get me if I don't stop spending so much time here.
Mits I thought you were the anonyomous Blue today comment
I think it was Tai having his frozen treat awhile ago.. Think he is looking for anything he may have dropped. When they are sitting, I sometimes can't tell who I am seeing without them being together.

Mema Jo said...

Mits Can you ID the 2 pandas in separate areas on Cam 2 DC?

Mema Jo said...

You can see LunLun holding her nursing cub & licking him/her. So motherly!

MITS said...

Just looked real quick at pandas, I think Mei and Tai are in Tians' den, without Tian of course.

MITS said...

There is some kind of bird up in CT, and something just flew low over the nest.

MITS said...

I guess it is an osprey, but it isn't lifting its head, and something is perched to the left of the cam.

MITS said...

Ok, silly me, it was a shadow in the nest and it just flew off, duh!

Mema Jo said...

NormaByrd & Vicky I sent you a link that could get you into the videos of LunLun & Cub. Just maybe it will open for you. It's worth a try.

Mema Jo said...

LunLun away from nest bed - Looky, Looky at the cub........

Mema Jo said...

That was a beautiful few minutes - do wish they had sound because I just bet that little Cub missed Momma. Love the way LunLun picks up the cub in her mouth....

Don't care if I do get the Sparkle wax - just had to tell everyone what they just missed........

MITS said...

I missed it again, darn, JO what kind of sparklies you want with that wax.

MITS said...

Can't believe that CNN (CHEAP NETWORK NEWS) doesn't make the sound thing happen, that's the best part in these early days, because, you usually hear them more than you see them. Lun leaves her cub a whole lot more than Mei ever left Tai.

MITS said...

I meant I missed the cub, not the wax thing...don't need anymore wax!

Mema Jo said...

I want Purple & Pink sparkles, please.

glo said...

Hi all, Just got off the phone wiht daughter. Sat. is always catch up on the kids day. Elia always "listens' to me on the phone when I call, but then she always cries when its time to take th ephone back...Think its time for another visit she doesn't understand this phone stuff. LOL. Going for Christmas..so ..

Sun shining here today, but 38 degree morning is only 3 days away. Going out to do a little Yard work while its so nice outside. Will BLOG at ya later.

wvgal_dana said...

Norma the site Jo sent to you have you tried saving it to your desktop and open from there?

Hi all Good Afternoon

Mits drive careful

Miss Nilla also

MITS said...

Yeah, NORMA that one off their web-site worked for me, but the one that SHARON AND DANA sent to me also works. You are getting it thru the Atlanta Zoo cam aren't you?

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle at BW

MITS said...

Thank you, DANA I will, still doing laundry and packing, no hurry to leave.

MITS said...

Beautiful eagle at BW, it looks sunny there and it is raining here. Sun must be coming this way.

MITS said...

Well, maybe not too sunny at BW.

MITS said...

JO Purple and Pink, two of my all time favorite colors.

MITS said...

GLO Must be hard for you not to see Elia. I haven't seen Maggie in 2 weeks and I'm chomping at the bits.

MITS said...

Ok, NORMA, let me get this straight, when you go to the Atlanta Zoo, you can't get on to their site???

MITS said...

Eagle still visiting at BW!

MITS said...

Shadow still visiting at CT!

wvgal_dana said...

So Norma you can't watch the Windows Media Player at the NU site either huh?

MITS said...

Yes, NORMA can watch Lun and cub on the Atlanta Zoo cam and windows media player. Have you downloaded the lastest windows media player? And yes, Lun is older than Mei.

MITS said...

NORMA, on the NU cam, do you use the 56k or the 100k???

MITS said...

Is that an eagle face down at BW??

MITS said...

What ever it was at BW, it just took off.

wvgal_dana said...

Norma when you are in here in comments. Look at tool bar below the address place. Do you have a icon up there that says "Media"??

wvgal_dana said...

Hello am I here alone?

MITS said...

NORMA-BABY LOL! Stay focused we are trying to help ya. tee-hee!

MITS said...

No, DANA I'm here.

MITS said...

Where's NORMA??????

Mema Jo said...

Good luck - I'm going to be away for a little while.
BBL

MITS said...

DANA hold down the fort. got to do some more packing. BBIALW

MITS said...

Gee, thanks CAPT. JO bailing out on a sinking ship, huh? LOL!

wvgal_dana said...

Norma must have gotten stuck in filling the feeders for the hummers. lol

MITS said...

LOL!!!! I think you are right, DANA, or she is up at the Artic Sea.

MITS said...

Osprey got down off the perch and is in the nest at CT.

MITS said...

DANA I'm not computer literate, but, if NORMA downloaded the WMP icon for WMP#10 that is found under the Atlanta Zoo cam, wouldn't that help her???

MITS said...

NORMABYRD, GET YOUR FEATHERED TAIL BACK IN HERE, GIRLFRIEND!

MITS said...

DANA, be on the lookout for her, going to pack some more, at this rate, I may get home by Tuesday.

wvgal_dana said...

Not sure Mits .. it's the matter of getting the media player to play the link...

wvgal_dana said...

Mine didn't play it showed it was connecting but never did. Until the same thing I was trying to open in my mail I saved it to my desktop. Went to desktop where that icon was and opening it there. That was what Sharon had sent me. Worked great then.

MITS said...

HMMM! Just don't know then. I still think if she tries to downloard the new medias 10, it might work, or, she is in a heavy traffic area. I will be anxious to see if mine works when I get back to Bethesda.

MITS said...

Osprey at CT, just took off.

wvgal_dana said...

I will be wanting also to know if it works Mits when you get back home.

Ok have to leave....wedding....

bbl tc all

MITS said...

That's right have fun...DANA

MITS said...

Guess...

MITS said...

I went for it...

MITS said...

I want PURPLE sparklies for my game tomorrow.

MITS said...

Since no one is here, I will go finish my packing.

MITS said...

NORMA I don't have media below my address bar either.

MITS said...

NORMA check in you programs, do you have windows media connect there?

paula eagleholic said...

I just got on to see LUNLUN

MITS said...

Good for you PAULA, now you can help, NORMABYRD

paula eagleholic said...

I went thru the regular site....got on ok

glo said...

Yes Mits I really don't like not being able to really see her grow up. next time I see her she won't really know me, bUT I htink she iwll know my voice although I hate that she cries when they take the phone back right now SIGH.

Looks like Paula and Norma have a fun afternoon project. I'll check back in in a while to se ho wits going. Watch out PaulaNorma has a way of disappearing every now and then...and we cna't exactly track her donw LOL. Like the night we all celebrated without her as well all saw her turn bLUE except fo rher lol. Its that Stay Focused thingI think But then my phone usually has some family time on the weekends too.

paula eagleholic said...

Osprey in CT w/ fish...

Every time I check in on Lun, she has rolled from one side of that little box to the other...

Bird Girl said...

hello all! so far, I've gotten ONE of my many tasks done -- well, two. Cleaned up a pile of yard trimmings (Floralgirl I had to take out the myoporum, it was so beautiful and then some kind of strangler weed took over...), planted a Texas Sage, "Green Cloud" variety, cleaned up the sidewalk. Now I'm just worn out.

Check in later folks, have a great day!

paula eagleholic said...

Frodo cam is getting lighter...

paula eagleholic said...

If Norma was here I could help her!

MITS said...

Birdgirl glad you stopped by, saw you comment to me on the blog, it may have been a hoax, sorry you did not see the humor in it. Most of us thought it was pretty funny when we saw the picture.

Mema Jo said...

DC panda cam 2 just caught a good one. Tai jumped off a rock & when he landed he just rolled head over heels down a small embankment.. LOL Then he was hanging upside down in one of the trees. He sure is a bundle of energy.
The camera can't focus on him now as he is so high up in what looks like a willow tree & you just can't see him well.

MITS said...

PAULA, sorry NORMABYRD has not come back in, I'm packing up the car now, will be back in before I leave. Everytime I go out to the car, I encounter renters coming into the building and I must have information written across my forehead.

MITS said...

Tai-Shan just loves that willow tree.

MITS said...

Tai and Mei may be in Tians' yard. The cam is driving me nuts today.

paula eagleholic said...

** Eaglet at NU ****

Mema Jo said...

Thank You! Watching NU eaglet.

Mema Jo said...

Is he for real? No movement yet. Just like a statue.

paula eagleholic said...

Jo,
Must a have fish under there....

paula eagleholic said...

Can't imagine he is hot....

paula eagleholic said...

And Freida is now in full color

paula eagleholic said...

Maybe, just resting

Mema Jo said...

I think he may be praying to the Eagle Spirits for a safe journey in his migration... I don't really know what is going on...I thought he may be mantling...For a while you only knew it was for real because the breeze was ruffling his tail feathers.

MITS said...

Been watching the eagle nest at NU, today and it has been a bit breezy. Osprey also at CT.

Mema Jo said...

Look at Panda Cam2 I swear he got a Pizza box from somewhere!! LOL

MITS said...

Dominoes delivers...

Mema Jo said...

NILLA I think our gal is doing some emails now. Hope that means she is sitting a little more comfortably. She needs to get her cams up & get a good ole' eagle fix.
Love Ya Nilla

MITS said...

HMMM! Bamboo pizza...what a concept!!

Mema Jo said...

MITS Do they really let him eat pizza.. or are you just kidding me?

MITS said...

YES, LOUISE IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU AT THE PUTER....LOVE YA!

MITS said...

Nah...JO they would not let him eat anything like that, but, they may have made it look like a pizza

MITS said...

Maybe, he stole one of the keepers lunch.

Mema Jo said...

Oh Ho! & what to my wandering eyes would appear - under the feet of the eaglet so dear..........FISH
Big Fish - no wonder he had to stand there for so long...Takes a lot out of you catching one that large! LOL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good afternoon, fellow bloggers. Just got home. Brought Sis home from the hospital. She is really tired and sleeps a lot but doing better.

MITS said...

Really glad to hear that your sister is home, SHARON Did you have fun at the flea market?

paula eagleholic said...

Sharon,
So glad to hear that...I'm sure you are too!

paula eagleholic said...

Jo,
Send Nilla an email about the eaglet!

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, Norma, he is kinds like our Spunky!

paula eagleholic said...

Remember he sat on that fish for the longest time when we were at the nest?

paula eagleholic said...

OMG, Frodo feeding chicks...what's a girl to do!

MITS said...

Talk to you all, when I get home sometime tonight.

Mema Jo said...

Sent the email to NILLA

Sharon Good news concerning your sister being at home. I know you are a short distance from her house - right? I'm sure you'll be treading a path. Eaglet at NU for you.

Mema Jo said...

Safe Journey, Mits

Hope you make it out the door this time - the whole way to your car & are able to HIT THE ROAD JACK

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am watching the eaglet. I just love that nest! She lives about 1/10 of a mile from my house so, yes, I will be treading a path!

glo said...

LOL Well thinga do happen around here fast and not so fast Norma Norma!!!! Oh that's right she did peak her head back in but not sticking around to focus on that cam thing (((Norma)))
So Nillais doing some emails...sounds good. Must be a step in the right direction. if anything can get her to stay on and check out the cams, that Tai and his antics will do it.

Sharon I am so very glad your sister came home. She needs something fun and sedintary to do...like Blog with us, and watch all these critters etc.

And the Hiding me a fish trick Think he must have learned that for sure from our Spunkster. I wasn't there that time but I do remember the story. I remember anything that had to do with Spunky and eating. I still worry about that some BUT it is totally our of my control so no sense in staying their long. Whisper up a prayer and keep on keeping on. Ok will check back later.
Norma oh Norma!!!!Anyone want to borrow my wet noodleSorry can't let you keep it I will need it for Sharon next eagle season . LOL

Mema Jo said...

CONGRATS SHARON #150

Mema Jo said...

I will be gone for about 3 hrs...BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle gone :(

But Happy :):) I got to see him.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Frieda w/ her ruffled feathers on the nest...

paula eagleholic said...

Have a safe drive Mits!

paula eagleholic said...

Think I can se LUNLUN Cub

paula eagleholic said...

She sure is keeping him/her clean!

paula eagleholic said...

It's nursing!

paula eagleholic said...

Ok all, have a good evening, will not be back on till later. Son and grandson coming over for dinner!

TTUL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Going back out for a little while. Be back a little after 7.

Just Vicky said...

So all human kind have left the blog???

Mema Jo said...

7:18 pm I hope anyone lurking is watching the LUN LUN Cam. She is holding the cub & you can see the face so well. Momma is just licking the cub clean as a whistle. Beautiful.........

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Got back too late to see that with Lun Lun. But I will be watching for a while as I am doing some OT.

Mema Jo said...

It was really great. At one point LunLun had to scratch her belly with her right foot & the cub was lying on her left leg in full view. I bet around 9pm she will feed again - they say about every 2 hrs.

wvgal_dana said...

Sharon great to hear your sister is home from hospital...I am sure she will need some rest.

wvgal_dana said...

Wedding was alot of fun ... couple had been together 13yrs. so it was about time they got hitched.
Boy the way things do happen (life has its surprises). Again at last minute things changed due to weather and reception and inside at same place as wedding.
It was very nice...level ground and enjoyed talking with people and watching and listening to the music.

wvgal_dana said...

Yes lol Norma does have a way of disappearing. I wonder if her civic group puts on a halloween play and she does a brilliant disappearing act. JUST KIDDING NORMA..

Mema Jo said...

Hi Dana. Glad you enjoyed the wedding celebration. Sorta quite in here this evening. That's ok.. I have been watching LunLun. Got a good look at ButaButa for a good 5 min.or so.

MITS said...

YOO-HOO, HELLO, I got back to Bethesda around 7:15, good drive, beautiful cloud formations all the way home. Saw alot of soaring birds, but, my guess, they were buzzards.

MITS said...

Mom pandas do a good job of keeping their young clean. When Tai went for his 1st exam and they put him back, Mei licked him so hard to get the human scent off, thought he was going to be naked again.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Now I frapped Buta Buta this evening and you can see the darker stripe across its back where the black hair is coming in! I love it!

wvgal_dana said...

Neat Jo really a thriller when you get to see that little one isn't it.
Mits glad drive back was good and you are home safe.

The hounds are still out tracking Norma down lol

Mema Jo said...

Hi MITS I've been thinking about your arriving home. Thanks for touching base with us so soon! Now we can rest easy...


Mits, Sharon & Dana

You have mail

Mema Jo said...

Frieda /Frodo off the nest.

Little white fuzzies just sitting there. Pretty soon they will be waddling up and down the ledge!!!
With their little bandit faces....

Mema Jo said...

Well, Momma Frieda didn't leave them alone very long.

Mema Jo said...

Mits
Any good candy bars in your frig ?

wvgal_dana said...

And the ledge will never been the same until a good washing lol .. remember Harrisburg lol

Mema Jo said...

Frieda has EYES TO THE SKIES

wvgal_dana said...

On tv is movie Run Away Bride Richard Gere (handsome) plays in it.

Mema Jo said...

Dana Any delicious food at the wedding reception? What did the cake look like? You can tell I am getting ready for a snack..

Mema Jo said...

LUN LUN & CUB

Sharon FRAP AWAY !

glo said...

Hi all. Looks like a few have arrived since last I checked in. Got lots of yard work done today. Our weather is going down hil quickly starting tomorrow. I won't send this you way!!!

Think i'll go find some cams to enjoy. Looks like it might be feeding time for the little cub and I haven't seen it today. matter of fact it Frodo cam time too lOL.

wvgal_dana said...

Husbands nephews wife makes wedding cakes they are beautiful and taste yummy.... with the lighted fountain.
There was this like bake bread dough that had a cream cheese mixed spread on it cut small, and topped with tiny pieces of brocilli and splinters of carrot.
A special taco mix that already had the taco in it so it wasn't cruchy but tasted really good..this was not "hot" tasting either or I wouldn't have been able to eat it.
Believe it or not there was other food too; ham and turkey slices to put or not on soft bun.
Beans with hotdogs slices.
Of course chips; several kinds and macaroni salad

wvgal_dana said...

You can see Lun Lun baby

glo said...

Aww Lun Lun just has her little one cradled in her arms. OOps she's moving LOL

glo said...

LOL Well I did at least get to catch a quick minute or so enjoying her with little one too cute!!

glo said...

Freida looks like she is just sitting on a few little cotton balls...

Mema Jo said...

That's all folkes - Time to Rolly Polly. I think we are going to get to see a lot of ButaButa as time goes on. Amazing!!!

Mema Jo said...

Sound as though the wedding reception was very very nice. Glad you were able to go & have a good time with friends & family.

wvgal_dana said...

Think I'll go watch this handsome guy Richard Gere bbl

MITS said...

Thanks, DANA AND JO,, No candy bars in the fridge, darn. DANA "RUNAWAY BRIDE" was filmed in Berlin, Maryland. About a 15 minute drive from Ocean City, nice little town. Many of their shops have pictures of Julia Roberts with the owners and townspeople. I don't think Dick wanted his picture taken with the townfolk, haven't seen any. P.S. I did bring home a box of BALTIMORE BERGER COOKIES, but I'm taking them to Annie and Kevin tomorrow

Mema Jo said...

Hi Glo Grandson brought me 3 large pots of mums today which I will probably put in the planters tomorrow. They are so full & haven't started to bloom. I think I may even put some fall decor out in front of house. Always have my scarecrow boy & girl & it is almost time for the pumpkins! The farms open next weekend to have hayrides to patches to pick your own. Always do it with the little ones..Fall is a fanorite time for me!

glo said...

Hi Mits Glad your drive home went ok..You left before I had a chance to wish youa good trip, but I was thinking about you. Glad you stop in to let us know you got home OK. And here you are talking about those wonderful cookies while i eat my apple LOL

glo said...

Hi Mema Jo Wow sounds very very pretty, or at least it will be as time goes on. fall is very very beautiful I love those tones of colors burgundies and golds especially. I'm not even going to ask you if they are Hanging around.

glo said...

Norma didn't just disappear She is hiding out!!! LOL

Just Vicky said...

Have the Hounds found Norma yet???

glo said...

I think you and Paula scared her away LOL

Just Vicky said...

How did I scare her away???

Just Vicky said...

She was left to hold down the fort and the nest here today!

Just Vicky said...

She is officially AWOL

glo said...

Well last time I saw her she was going to get some help getting the cam going for Lun Lun, I think it was Mits nad Paula who were trying to help her then, since your computer at home won't get it for you although I guess your husbands will. getting to see a few more glimpses of the baby today by the sounds of things.

Mema Jo said...

CONGRATS VICKY #200

Mema Jo said...

Vicky Put the panda cam up on your hubby's pc if he's not using it. We have had some really good sightings of ButaButa today.

Did you make it to the football field?
My one grandson always asks me if I am coming to his games.... Thank goodness he is in RollerBlade Hockey (just like ice hockey without the ice) & I always try to make a few of them. They are at a SportsPlex bldg, so no field to travel on.

glo said...

Looks like still no visit from Nilla today. I sure hope she is doing OK.

Mema Jo said...

Any good sleuth would know that NormaBryda is 9 times out of 10 in Mail Jail.............. LOL

That was the last clue she gave us...

MITS said...

ROFLMAO...VICKY RELEASE THE HOUNDS!!!!

Mema Jo said...

Sorry for the type on 'Byrda'. Don't feel like deleting & correcting....

Glo I did see an email that NILLA forwarded - so she must have been up a little today. I sent her the email as soon as we saw the eaglet in NU nest.. Hope she got her eagle fix today!

MITS said...

BOOOOOO, NORMA, GET OUT OF THAT MAIL ROOM.

Anonymous said...

Alright, I need some facts to work with, when was Norma last seen and who was she with?

glo said...

Mema JoYes I saw that email too. I guess that is good. I sure miss her usual well now how exactly to I describe Nilla..."self" I miss her usual selfLOL

MITS said...

I've e-mailed, Norma, twice this a.m. and no response.

glo said...

Watching Lun Lun makes me tired for her. she must do that all night and all day long. she needs a baby Sitter

glo said...

She has blown up the thing!!! I've heard people do that!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I volunteer to babysit. Might have a little difficulty at feeding time but I could cuddle that little cub like she does! :):):)

Just Vicky said...

Sherlock, Norma was last seen with me here on the blog! Paula had left and I was about to leave and Norma was given the keys to the kingdom!

Mema JO, I did go watch the grandson play football, and he made the 1st touchdown! It was really a great feeling to say "that's my grandson!"

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Oh Glo, Soaring Splendor it absolutely is!!!

MITS said...

I must have missed something,GLO Who blew up what??????

glo said...

Mits LOL Norma...She got a stick of dynamite and stuck it into the Floppy or CD rom drive and that was that for the computer!!! Well or ELSE she is AWOL as Vicky said.
