Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Pain in the kazookie blog this morning. Floralgirl really stuttering this morning. :)

Just Vicky said...

Geesh what is up with these threads ??? LUCKY TO GET IN AND LUCKY IF IT POSTS!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Suzanne, it did!

Been watching Tai this morning. He is not wanting to take part in exploring his new area. Bless his heart, change is hard!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning, Vicky!

movin said...

Good morning, Everybody.

I checked Glo's site this morning for a couple of minutes ... like several things. Todd's pictures help the look a lot.

Have a good day, and I hope I will once I wake up.

Jim

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Doreen, good morning. Glad to see you made it through the hurricane. We have missed you.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Buta Buta is by herself, curling up. She must be cold.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

She was kind of acting like she had a crampy belly or something. Momma is back!

Mema Jo said...

Good mid morning Suzanne & Sharon-see you made it to the new thread I am not, at this time, going to even try to go over to old thread to see what everyone was up to this morning.
Doreen Good to hear from you!
Now if we could just find Geula and get Chrissy back on here-we'd be a full house.

Mei & Tai putting on a show.
Still see eagle at BW off to the side.
Let's hope this posts!!

paula eagleholic said...

Got in on the second try...MT nest at BW and CT, can't get NU up, anyone else having a problem there?

Just Vicky said...

Tip for the day, if you get in here, DON'T LEAVE!!!!

Mema Jo said...

Hi Paula
NU took awhile to buffer - but it did come up for me. MT

Mema Jo said...

I forgot to tell you Paula
I like your new pic

Mema Jo said...

I forgot to tell you Paula
I like your new pic

Good advice Vicky

Mema Jo said...

Did I tell everyone that I liked Paula's new eagle pic????

paula eagleholic said...

No, Jo, You didn't.

For you info, my pic is of George of George and Martha. My previous pic was one of their eaglets!

Suz,
You can drive to my house in Emmitsburg and then we could go to BW from there, meet Megan in Frederick....

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Tai is up in a tree. Bless his little heart.

Can see Buta Buta's legs at Lun Lun's arm, I think.

This blog is driving me nuts today.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

EAGLET AT NU!!!!

Mema Jo said...

That NU eaglet reminds me of Inbetween. Really has a white tail.
I remember someone saying that mid OCT is the usual migration time - I just love looking at this nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Suz,
You got mail!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Just heard from Mits. She said to tell everybody hi. No time for blogging or much emailing for her. She is heading to the beach!

paula eagleholic said...

:( Still can't get into NU!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Paula, what is happening that you can't get into NU. Mine came up just fine. MT nest now.

paula eagleholic said...

New link on the BW cam page to an article about eagle behaviour on the osprey nest...

paula eagleholic said...

Sharon,
I generally don't have a problem getting into NU, comes right up, can even get it on dialup! Just say connecting, then ready, and no pic. But this computer has not been on it's best behaviour today....so, I'll try later.

paula eagleholic said...

Cool, that info from BW explained that pic that Mits took the other day...eagle was moving it's head from side to side, releasing food from it's crop.

paula eagleholic said...

More info...those are fish crows that bug the NU eaglet!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Paula, thanks for all the information. More is revealed all the time. What a learning experience this has all been for me for sure! Fish crows, never knew there was such a bird.

Tai is still up in the tree, I think.

Buta Buta is really getting more and more like a butterball!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Paula, you've got mail!

Mema Jo said...

Very interesting reading! So much to know!

BBL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am so amazed at how black and white Buta Buta is getting! Beautiful.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, I was just reading the updated update from yesterday. It appears that Buta Buta did not vocalize during the exam at all so Lun Lun did not even know she was gone and did not get upset at all. She ate the whole time. That is wonderful although you could tell she smelled something different about her when she picked her back up. Or at least, that is what I thought!

Mema Jo said...

There is a very informative update on LunLun & Cub concerning yesterday's exam. It really wasn't traumatic for LunLun which is good.

Mema Jo said...

Sharon
We did it again !

Mema Jo said...

And I got stuck with the wax
Thank you Doreen for your 49th comment

Mema Jo said...

Doreen - what's the latest from Chrissy? Been a couple of days since we have heard from Nilla... I must pick up the phone and let her know just how much we miss her on here.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I see that Jo. Great minds . . .

Tai is still up in a tree.

MT nest at NU.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

We should start a fund for computer repairs for our regular bloggers!

Mema Jo said...

See you later, Doreen.
Good idea, Sharon. I just got kicked out when I tried to post.

BBL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Tai is still sleeping up in the tree.

Buta Buta is still sleeping curled up with her mommy.

MT nest at NU. MT nest at BW.

Frieda/Frodochicks have moved back down to the greenery, all huddled up.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

EAGLET AT NU!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Tai finally decided to come down out of the tree and try to nurse. He just pushed Mei right over and started nursing.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mei must be needing him to nurse cause she pulled him back to her.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Buta Buta is alone and sliding down off that heap of straw. They need to get some of that out of there, in my unexpert opinion.

floralgirl said...

OMG when I left the house this morning I had no idea I was stuttering! What the H is wrong with this blog? Oh , I am in for BWater, just tell me where and when to meet you, Paula! My part time job just turned into a full time job for about a month- they wanted me to work weekends, but I said no way. I work every weekend since May 1st. Then again in December, I'm enjoying the next months worth!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Frodocam is now in color. Tai is still nursing. Tian Tian was on the other side of the screen. MT nest at NU. Buta Buta all alone, just like me! BW MT.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

EAGLET AT NU, either mantling or waiting for food to arrive. MTBR.

paula eagleholic said...

Ok, Sharon, need a play by play on the NU eaglet and his probably fish crows! Still can't get into NU!

paula eagleholic said...

Floral
You have to bring some of those chocolate chip cookies for our road trip. No cookie, no ridey.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Eaglet still there. Not eating and no fish crows around, yet!

paula eagleholic said...

Just got kicked off...

Aussie chicks still huddled up next to the wall...look awake now.

paula eagleholic said...

Sharon,
Thanks for the update. How's the eaglet looking today?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

The eaglet is talking to somebody or perhaps calling for food! He is just kind of laying there. Has quite a few white feathers on his tail. Wind blowing his feathers, looks so serene!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Going out for a little while. BBL!

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding time down under!

Just Vicky said...

Wow, not much for life on this place! Everyone out enjoying this beautiful day outside I suppose!

Has anyone heard from Nilla??? I've missed her!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

To my knowledge, nobody has heard from Nilla. We all miss her a lot!

Just Vicky said...

Hi Sharon! Did you have a productive day??

Just Vicky said...

This is so NOT like Nilla to report to someone or at least pop in and update us!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I did have a very productive day. It was good!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Lun Lun is laying with her arm over her eyes and Buta Buta is laying under chin. It is the cutest sight!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Tai is lodging on the ledge and Mei is eating bamboo!

The three musketeers are flaked out!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

The National Zoo site has wonderful information about the development of panda cubs. Buta Buta is right where she is supposed to be!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Eaglet in the NU nest!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Eaglet just went up in the tree above the nest.

Alone again, naturally!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, I am gone again until about 9. BBL!

Just Vicky said...

You' ALL come back!

glo said...

Just popped in between Seminar and evening vistors. I'll be back in later for a while. Wanted to catch up on the events for the day. I hope all of you who get to go have a ownderful weekend at the Blackwater FEST...bring your camera...we KNOW there are eagles there

Missing you Nilla

Just Vicky said...

Wow, still not much going on! Where'd you all go???

MITS said...

HELLO EVERYONE Maggie her Mom and other Grandmother left around 5:30 p.m.They could only stay overnight, as, Annie has some work to do for her job and is going to CT this weekend. My sisters are her til tomorrow. Wonderful day on the beach with Maggie, she just loves being with people, she started turning over from her stomach to back this past Saturday and she thinks that is soooo much fun. I cried when she left, I missed her before she went out the door. Happy as a clam for the Baby Girl Cub in Atlanta. Beautiful day at the beach, calm waters, warm breeze and tons of dolphins this a.m. Take care, I'll try to keep in touch, took me about an hour to catch up on posts.

MITS said...

GLO How is you eye??? NILLABEAN-LOUISE, WHERE ARE YOU???

Just Vicky said...

CALLING ALL MOMSTERS! Report in!

paula eagleholic said...

Just Vicky said...

Just Vicky said...

Baby Buta alone again!

floralgirl said...

Reporting for duty, Captain Vicky! But this blog doesn't wanna let me!!!

Just Vicky said...

I'm afraid to race for 100! Afraid blogger cop is lurking!

Mema Jo said...

BUTA BUTA ALL ALONE

Just Vicky said...

It has been a pain all day!

Just Vicky said...

What's up with it

Just Vicky said...

Hello Mema JO!!! Now the party starts!

floralgirl said...

Where is the wax Queen?

Mema Jo said...

Why would you be complaining
when you were able to go
right in and get your WAX ?


LOL

Just Vicky said...

Pure accident, I'd never let blogger cop think I would race!

Just Vicky said...

2 needy travelers need more wax!

Have you heard that one before?

floralgirl said...

Mema Jo said...

Hi Floralgirl
Wax Queen may have changed titles recently - Sharon won't be in until after 9ish.
Are you going to trade those
cookies for a ride to Cambridge? You 3 will have sooooooooooo much fun. You already know Paula, but Suzanne is going to fit right in there!!
I am going to send you directions to get you there in no time flat..if Paula drives like my hubby does..
Ya Hear that, Paula?

Just Vicky said...

Oh dear! Gals, I'm thinking my tummy is not feeling too good! Haven't lost my supper yet, but it seems to be wanting up!

floralgirl said...

Yea, Jo I will bring the Chocolate chip cookies!! The route we took the last time was the one we got from the Blackwater site. Wish you could go, too. Have you talked to Nilla at all the past 2 days?

floralgirl said...

Why, Vicky you have not been eating that wax have you?? Are you really feeling ill?

Just Vicky said...

No, not eating wax! Yes, stomach seems irpy!

Just Vicky said...

Seem to be chilling also!

Just Vicky said...

Going to get a nice cup of hot tea and a blankie, check in later!

Mema Jo said...

Since you asked: just hung up the phone with a long awaited conversation with our NILLA
I had left a voice message this afternoon on her cell phone. I called back a little while ago - caught her out on RT 81 coming into Martinsburg from a b-day party. Was so good to hear her voice! She has been working most days for a few hours - not hard work as she describes it! She will do her best to get into this blog later & cheer us all up! She still has discomfort in her groin - but dizziness had gone. Still on same medications. Told her I'd go over & get the Mega Lotto ticket & bail her out of debt!
I know we all miss her - when she is here-that's when the party begins.

Mema Jo said...

Vicky Sounds like you are now getting a 'puter virus. I had like an upset stomach that lasted almost a week. Hope that's not what you're getting. Didn't slow me down - just very uncomfortable & got tired of eating crackers & toast.........

Mema Jo said...

Buta Buta's tail is tickling her
Momma's nose

floralgirl said...

OH, Vicky sorry you aren't feeling well, we have all been feeling yucky in my house, had a cold, icky stomach for a week now. Jo thanks for checking on Nilla!

Mema Jo said...

BBL Going to buy that winning Mega Lottery ticket.........

floralgirl said...

What? Everyone has left?? Is there an echo in here?

glo said...

Ok Lets ee. So good to hear some news on Nilla Thanks Ju

Vicky. Sorry you arne't feeling well. That time of year I guess is quickly approaching all of us.

Mits Good to see you stopped in to say Hi too. Your time at the beach sounds very enjoyable. I definitely understand how hard it is to watch those little ones leave. Especially when they are very young, changes seem to happen so very quickly. I am sure you got to enjoy Maggie's newest skill of rolling over!!

Sounds like plans for a fun trip With Chocolate Chip cookies are well underway. I am sure that is going to be one very fun time!!! Our little eagles have certainly brought a lot of people together who never knew each other before. Some are just a little further away, and can get there quite as easy BUT I will make it there, and I can tell Vicky is coming back. Hopefully the new season will add even more Feathered friends from a variety of places

I have been up since 5 am and pretty much going steady most of the dya, so am not staying on tonight.

I will Blog some tomrrow. Neighbor and I are trying to decide if garage Sale is going to be a Go or not for the weekend. if it is, set up is tomorrow. Forecast is kinda cold and rainy looking though LOL.

Wishing you all a pleasnt and restful night.

MITS said...

Good night all, been up since 6. Sunrise was wonderful, but, puter is in sisters' bedroom and don't want to deprive them if they want to sleep.

belle_wv said...

Hi All!

Just a quit pop in to say I miss everyone. I can't catch up on the blogs completely, but I tried to skim for the highlights - I liked reading Steven's thoughts that we might have a robo cam and sound - what wonderful possibilities! I didn't read that day's blogs to see if there was any more detail... I will be hoping it all comes to pass... Buta Bun is a GIRL - so wonderful! I hope she'll go for 'older' men when she's ready :) Match maker match maker make me a match, find me a find, catch me a catch :)

Mema Jo said...

Belle & Mits
Glad you both came in to say HI and that all is well.

Mema Jo said...

Buta Buta is all alone

Mema Jo said...

Well, that was about 7 mins of uninterrupted viewing of ButaButa lying there alone in the straw. Would I have not liked to have reached in & scooped her up to cuddle? Oh, Yes! She is so precious. I can't get over the precise markings that have already appeared. Those little ears are sooooooo black.

Mema Jo said...

I took the time to watch the 4 video clips listed under the DC panda cam.
I guess that is what we have to look forward to.
Little Ledge Lodger Sleeping

Mema Jo said...

Just watched the 2 most recent film clips of the eyasses. It really give you a good view of how fast they are growing. Really starting to move around on the ledge. They still like to sleep alot!

Mema Jo said...

BBL Need to fold some clothes from dryer..... Getting sleepy......

floralgirl said...

What a coincidence, I was just putting clothes into the dryer, after I finished the dishes. Off to bed myself, long day tomorrow.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Busy little bloggers on here tonight. So glad you talked to Nilla, Jo. Been worrying about her.

Mema Jo said...

Hi Sharon Hope you had a good good evening. Yes, it was good to talk to Nilla. She's ok.
Everything was slow & quiet this evening, but that's ok. Belle stopped by for a comment. Now I am wondering, Where is DANA Just can't seem to get all our birds at one time in the same nest!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

We are really never far from the nest, you know. Even if I am not here, I think about you all a lot!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

It looks like Lun Lun is smiling, and Buta Buta is right in the crook of her arm. Mema Jo, I am with ya about scooping that baby up and doing some snuggling. She looks so much smaller when we see her like this than she really is -- a foot long - man, that is some snuggling material!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, I am going to bed now.

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

Mema Jo said...

Good Night All

Sweet dreams


Good Morning Suzanne & Marie

movin said...

Oh, my G., only 130 comments this evening!! I'm very glad to hear Nilla is doing well, and I hope the rest of you are as well.

I read the little blurb on the Blackwater site about the "Fish Crow," but I doubted there was such a thing really... wwrrroonnng was I... There is a good article in Wikipedia about it..worth reading.

I'm tired tonight and enjoying a liberally educated gourmet's meal of preference:
half a can of Bush's baked beans and a smoked sausage....(Oh yeah, and a chunk of wheat French bread). Couldn't be happier.

Have a wonderful,
Jim

NillaWafer said...

I promised Jo i would stop in afew minutes.. So much going on right now and many many things to take care of personally. Besides my problems my family isnt well my daughter is ill... my step mother has been in Washington Country hospitol now for 2 wks had major surgery and not doing well... October 1st my dad has his knee replaced.. My sister was in a terrible accident March 30th and she had a MRI and her pelvis is still broken never healed and either they are sending her to Baltimore or Hershey Medical center for surgery..And getting this time of year now my sister who died last Nov is on my mind alot.. Oh yes i am still Nicotine free and clean lost count of days now since August 14th... Worrying about all this and my problems i honestly have been very depressed, so if i am not here for awhile dont worry please.. By the way anyone who has not seen it on Denbury Farms day time they have a beautiful white dove on anest.. She is beautiful... Ok nighty niters, Nilla Oh talked with Dana tonight also keep her in your prayers also...

Anonymous said...

Oh, Nilla, I'm so sorry. Would you like me to put you on our prayer list at church--I just would like your name which I have seen, but forget. But in any case, know that you are never alone--you are in the thoughts and prayers of so many.

I did go to the sycamore tree this evening and saw gazillion deer, but no eagles. But the nest is there and visible so it's just a matter of time.

I have learned so much from this blog, and God bless all of you.

Anonymous said...

By the way,Nilla, my husband had his knee replaced in April, and the most important thing is to do the therapy after the surgery. Listen to the therapists--it really works.

Anonymous said...

At 12:23 Tai is in his little den and Mei is up on the rocks--they've just been up and interacting. Chicks are awake in Brisbane, no adults. Lun Lun curled up, Tai's future wife not visible. Good Night.

floralgirl said...

Good morning, Suzanne! don't worry, I'll bring cookies. I would definitely pack a lunch, it's a long ride and the there is not much out where the refuge is- I don't remember , they probably sold some refreshments, but we had packed our own food.

floralgirl said...

Well, Suzanne everyone here says I'm picky. I would probably bring a roast beef sandwich.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning everybody. Got up right at 7 and had to immediately start work. Hate when I do that.

Tai just went up a tree. Buta Buta is trying to roll from her side to her belly but that is such hard work for her. Bless her little heart. In no time, she will be climbing those trees too! :)

MT nest at NU. There was a little tiny bird at BW a while ago.

Okay back to work.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

EAGLET IN NU NEST!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Eaglet flew up into the tree.

Mei is eating bamboo. She looks like a weeble when you see her from behind! :):):)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

1/2 wax!

floralgirl said...

Wax on, Sharon!! Suzanne, don't worry about me, I'll bring a sandwich with me. Off to work, have to punch a timeclock- weird haven't done that for about 13 yrs! Working long day today, have a good one everyone! Glad we heard from Nilla- sorry things aren't going better. Life is so difficult sometimes, seems like it's nothing but a struggle. Have to keep focused on the good stuff in our lives, but at times it is hard.

glo said...

Good morning all. Hope we can have a good day on the BLOG. Making a decision during coffee and dog treats this morning about whether or not to set up for Garage Sale. Cold and some showers coming in for us the next few days. 10 day forcast looks kind of worse at the moment, so i am going to vote for a "GO". Time will tell, will Blog at ya later depending on How long or If I am doing Set up here in a while LOL.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...
