1 – 200 of 328 Newer› Newest»Good morning, Suzanne. I overslept until about 7:10 so I am trying to get started working!
Suz, look at the top of the page, they are having technical problems, they were having them last night too. I always sneak a peek, just in case one shows up at night.GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!
BOOYAH...STEVEN , THANKS FOR THE NEW THREAD You are one of the good guys.
Panda Habitat and Asia trail have theie opening today at the National zoo. Can't wait to go see it when I get back home..someday!
Its still 5:30 a.m. at the KENT cam, they were having problems with that one yesterday, it got stuck, but on an MT nest, no telling how much eagle action we missed.
SPOOKY CAM AT BW!!!
LOL!!!!!GOOD ONE, SUZ!!!
Seagull at CT with dead fish.
That goofy seagull just came right up to the cam.:):):)
The osprey site is where the seagull is...
There is an elfinant on the Africam!!
Can't get onto Africam this a.m.
I can get on pete's pond..there are a bunch of skittish deer there.
Sharon,
What is an elfinant? An elf elephant?
I've got the Africam up, a gazelle and a bird is in the water now.
If there is a "gator" in that water like Nilla says, why isn't that bird dead.
There is a beautiful shot of Mei Xiang resting on a rock on panda cam #1
BAMBOONS EVERYWHERE!
Good Morning all. I slept til 7:30 drug myself out of bed and went to neighbors for coffee and dog treats. While i was their I called the people who service my dryer a couple of months ago to tell them I almost had a fire last night about 10 pm my time. House full of smoke etc.. not fun, pretty scarey actually. Dealt with the smke smell all night, have a headache this morning. So once again I am glad I do NOT and hope none of you EVER leave your home with the Dryer running. Never ever do that...mine had only been running like 10 min. when this all began to happen.
OK so now its breakfast time here
have a good day. I will bLOG some off and on.
Good Morning Eagle Buddies
Couldn't sleep in, Suzanne! Headed out later for lunch with granddaughter & children.
Thanks Steve for the thread of the day
Just finished reading the comments - going out to check the cams - My Little Panda Boy and Girl and any eagles I can find.
Suzanne - did someone email you directions yet? All you need to do is head for your hairdresser & head south... BBL
Glo That is too scarey. That smell will linger - hope you can open up the house & get it out of there.
Elfinant is giving himself a shower.
Paula, that is how Andrew used to say elephant!
wonderful go to Africam qUICK
Eagle at BW!
I see the elephant...no bamboons.
Suzanne - it is a simple straight drive only 1 turn from Boonsboro. I'll email so you'll have them tomorrow.
Boy they are loud when they drink.
Glo, I never leave the house with the dryer running, I have read the terrible stories about dryer fires.
Tai is in a climbing mood this a.m. That elephant just burped.
Suz,
If you can get to Boonsboro, you can def get to NCTC. Just take Rt 34 out of Boonsboro into Shepherdstown, turn right on Shepherd Grade Rd (right after you go over the Potomac River Brigdge and right after the Bavarian Inn, ). Then you go like 5-6 miles to NCTC on the right.
I see that second eagle at BW.
Glo, glad you were there when that happened. Scary thought if you weren't!
I so enjoyed watching that elephant. warningelephant movie coming soon!!!! I am OK, just this headache and now f course concern over the dryer and what will happen with that etc etc. So glad I was home and up...which says Don't go to bed with it running either That is what I was pretty much getting ready to do...I was up quite while after that though and still have some windows cracked trying to air stuff out. it wasn't fun!!
wax
maybe its wax buildup...now I shall worry about dryer sheets too.
I am going to go buy a clothesline...Nah winters coming
Glo, maybe you have a build up of lint in it or something. Glad the outcome was as good as it was!!
Mits, the bamboons left when the elephant came to the pond or maybe they just kept the elephant on the cam and felt the bamboons were that important!
Getting lighter at KENT.
It seems like it would be a little irritating to walk around with birds hanging on you all the time!
How rude!!! I want bamboons.
Are they the wilderbees on there now???
Daylight at Kent..MT nest.
BW stuck.
Found some bamboons at pete's pond.
Morning all my eagle friends. I wish I could go to NCTC, but I am so glad that some of you get the privilege of going. Have a good time for Mauley and take pictures (group of yourselves for those of us who can't make it this time.) Paula thank you for the information, and Diane congrats. I am so glad you get to go. Busy Busy time of semester. Mid term grades and I don't have mine ready, so I can't blog for a day or so. Love all of you. Donna
I cannot for the life of me figure out how they think we are interested in getting up close and personal with an African bug!
New update on the PANDA page.
The Dept of Int. thinks this is inappropriate ....well, let me tell you what I think about the government....WAR .....High gas prices....Homeless people sleeping on the streets in our own country - people who can't afford to eat because they pay outragous prices for slack medical care and over priced drugs that the government does nothing about - while we are busy involving ourselves and our men and women, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters in others business - who are we to tell them how to run their countries when we can't run our own.
Just had to vent! I am disgusted at how this country is being run and I am ashamed that this blog is considered inappropriate - I am so mad I can't spell! It is more appropriate than ANYTHING the government it involved in!
Poor Buta always seems to be alone when I look in on her.
Just in case someone actually decides to read this BLOG at least some to determine whether or not it is appropriate, and as all of you I too am very emotionally involved in the decision regarding This BLOG, lets keep our responses on here Rational and Appropriate and the kind of thing we can be proud of as we await the Final Decision. WE have email and Momster for the other stuff...so have at it there, but do try to think it thru here. We want to be proud of how we handle it, as steve himself can be very proud of how he has conducted the BLOG experience for us the entire way. I never know if I think one person or one BLOG can make a difference but I do know its always worth trying anyway.
Suzanne, I am with you on that!! Not going there either. I am grateful to be living in this country myself. There are worse places we could be living. PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!
Glo, I am with you 200%.
I don't put much stock in cowards, like ANON. I hear Irag, Iran, Germany, France and North Korea would love to have you live there, than compare how bad it is here.AMERICA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, THAT'S NOT A STATEMENT, THAT'S A FACT!!?GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
Anon sounds very familiar to me!
Doreen, I would say we are all pretty fortunate to live where we live!!
(((((((((((((DOREEN))))))))))))))
There is a way to stop Anonymous posts on Blogger. Takes a little more work on the owners part, and will also stop some of our newbies AND "I love you all dearly, but anyone who doesn't have their name in blue STEVE however has the ability to delete any comment he does NOT want to keep on here. That is the Good News for today LOL
Oh and I would miss so many of the Famous People who have stopped by to say Hello to us in many different ways too LOL
Sorry i am tired and my brain is still a little smoked in.. Hope that doesn't sound wrong if the Gov't stops by Geesh. LOL
Well they just have to read the whole thing and not take anything out of context. LOL
tea time for me.
(((((Doreen))))) Sounds kind of scarey. Glad it was NOT meningitis. Hopefully she iwll be feeling much much better soon.
DOREEN I LOVE YOUR COUNTRY, BEEN THERE TWICE, HOPE TO COME BACK AGAIN!! (((((HUGS))))) God bless your grandaughter!
Glo, IMHO, I would not miss the famous people at all, waste of space.
Glo, IMHO, I would not miss the famous people at all, waste of space.
Looks like that was worth saying twice, don't know how that happened only hit it once.
WAX
Hey Doreen I went to a Swedish Restaurant last weekend and enjoyed my favorite Swedish pancakes and actually was able to buy and bring home some Lingonberry preserves. I thought about you and our conversation back a while about what you put on crepes over there, some kind of a berry butter. Anyway it was so good!!!
Doreen, what is pram and Tennalady?
Mooned by an eagle, yep, that is a first. CONGRATS, SHARON You are lucky #100!
You got that one right DOREEN We don't want GLO-BUG having anymore dryer or pancakes on fire problems.
Tennyladies are a gals best friend. Sharon you are too youg for them. Did know what a pram was.
EAGLE AT KENT!
2 EAGLE AT KENT.
OMG, they are so beautiful!
Waiting for that day, they are gorgeous!!
You can almost tell when the other one is coming back.
Good Afternoon :) ladies and gents of Eagleland...
Was reading comments all good but one and won't go there.
So funny Sharon talking about elephant. "Got to Mits comment 2 eagles in Kent" lol I read it 2 elephants in Kent cracking up at myself
Thank you Steven for the New Thread.
Not that would have been a good pic...2 elephants at Kent.
2 elephants at kent OK I want to see that.Dana you been smokin too? (((((kidding)))
Eagle back at Kent. didn't bring the elephants.
ROFLMAO!!!! Elfinants in an eagle's nest!
Now that would be a colossal poop-shoot!!
DOREEN Been so busy watching eagles have not gotten a chance to see Tai this afternoon.
Could use an elephant to move some of those sticks.
There they go again, busier than cats covering up pee!
Buta is trying so hard to motivate! Bless her heart.
here they go with the sticks again...They are such a gift to enjoy while we wait for "ours" as if anyone could own an eagle anyway LOL....
When I tried to bring Tai's camera up a while ago, couldn't see anything on panda cam 1 and panda cam 2 was overloaded!
Wow they are so elegant
I can't even knit like they build a nest together.
hee hee just thinking Todd nor Jo would want a "poop shoot" from the elephant Kent nest lol
The one in the nest is back and forth from each side, I bet its watching the other try to bring a .log up there next...
I haen't looked yet on the Kent site did it say how many years they have been coming back and how many babies they have had (the eagles not elephants)???
LOL Ok well that explains what we seem to be watching them do for sure!!! Thanks
Sight and sound is great for cams. I am sure glad there is not "smell" cause CT has to be stinky. eekkk
Mits you think that is the male or female in nest now?
Just returned - Man! Water hole is surely as busy as are the Kent Is eagles!
Anyone care to guess what the Light is right under the tree on Africam?
Well I am NOT Mits and not sure where I even read this but I think I remember somewhere reading the female usually has a more Blow dried look to her feathers, and yes is bigger than the male but both would have to be there to see size...JMHO
Hi Mema Jo you just getting in from Africa?
Animal Planet: Love that little tree climber!
Somebody put a sock in that ducks mouth will you....
I don't see alot of action Jo????

If you can get this all on one line, you will see the video of Tai's Boo Ride (bamboo)- It is very cute..
Dana, There was a whole herd of some beast (like a cow size) And it was the largest herd I've ever seen at the waterhole.
Oh JO I laughed outloud...that is so great. I'm glad you posted that one!!
I am watching one of him eating a whole apple now... awfully cute too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc4mVF8fP0M&NR
Roaming..Roaming..Roaming...keep that panda Roaming..Rawhide!! Giddy up Tai.
Jo, they are on a private reserve, I think, so it might be one of the lights from the lodge???
Ok I got water buffalo and other 4 legged animals. Guess my cam was later lol
Tai is certainly a tree climber
Must have left the gates open tonight in Arica.
Missed which one you were talking about Dana.
lots of zebra and other animals there now Jo
15 yard penalty for unnecessary roughness....on that one zebra...kicked the other one with his hind legs.
Oh something just scared them off real fast ---- BIG ELEPHANT AND it's not in the Kent nest
Well, the elephant made the zebras disappear in a hurry.
Here comes another maybe more
2 eagles back at KENT
Off into the non-sunset the two elephants go big enough to take whatever they want with them..
Zebras are back.
back come the zebra's your right Mits elephants sure made them leave in a hurry
Another awfully cute one of Tai playing with running water
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPT02aIHxFk&mode=related&search=
Eagle at BW
Seagull in CT playing w/ the dead fish. Hilarious!
Eagle laying down in Kent nest!
Africam- what is that flying through the air? A bird? Going awfully fast!
Seems to have scared off the zebras.
Kent Eagle taking a rest OR just practicing...
Eagle at BW w/ a fish, 2 in Kent
Another elephant just came back.
Blog later, its naptime here for sure
Have a good nap Glo.
Paula there doesn't seem to be time to have anything set up a NCTC does there?
2nd eagle at BW off to the right side.
Don't know how that elephant got by so quickly - I missed him Mits!
Dana,
I am going to be selling eagle tshirts and stuff, everything that is on the website at the Open House.
2 Eagles back at BW
They may be big, but they can move fast when they want to, JO!
There goes that nest at CT again the wind blowing hard and making it wobble.
Jo the alligator got him
Kidding Jo
I wish we would have had time to do like a colleague of Liberty, Belle and the 3 eaglets.
Wonder if they will have the live video feed of them going..hummmm
I thought about if printer was working. Maybe a nice sheet with links of animal and bird websites to hand out.
Hi Lu and Doreen been visiting Africa. Checked on Tai he is following Mei around. Now I'm back in Africa.
How are you two doing?
Lu you get to America on Friday or is it next Friday?
Hello, Ladies from the UK!!! Eagles, elephants, zebras for awile there it was quite the zoo, not to mention "our" favorite boy, just looking cute, as always.
Anyone seen any lions at the waterhole?
Lu I bet you are excited...I wish you a happy trip and a good time here.
Eagle back at KENT!!!!!
Took the words right out of my mouth Mits lol
I think that is the female tail feathers fuller and more white and she is big.
Yes, LULU its a little wet there today. How close will you be to DC when you come over? Any chance you can make a side trip to see "your" boy?
Dana,
I am printing up some stuff for the Open House, I can put the links on the back of the sheet that I have already.
I don't think I have seen so much action as I did at the watering hole tonight. Yes, DOREEN saw the beast.
DOREEN, YOU GO GIRLFRIEND..GOT THE BIG CAN OF WAX!!!
DOREEN, make sure you are on Cam #2 at KENT, much clearer picture.
Paula seems like you are loaded down gal ... you are doing it all.
That's right "lady eagle" you never know how a dress fits till you try it on. So settle down in that nest to see how it fits.. :)
LULU, Just checked Google, it is about a 5 1/2 hour trip to DC from Danville.
Doreen she is beautiful can't wait to see Belle..
LULU Check on the panda cam page on the right hand side, sometimes they have info about hotel accomodations near the zoo and visiting info.
Good advice Dana!
Rub-a-dub-dub, DOREEN:):):)
By the way duh for me but this Kent Eagle nest is it in Kent, Washington or Kent, Maryland??
Instructions for Doreen
(1) lay pieces of paper all over you car
(2) let dry
(3) then rip away
results no hair and no paint ):
Check under visit, LOU, shows things and info for tourists.
Dana,
Put a couple of links on the page I am handing out that has links! Much easier!
Washington, DANA! The clock on the cam is Pacific time. So around 7 tonight you still have a chance of spotting the eagle, it will only be 4 there.
Jo is helping, too!
ROFLMAO!!! DOREEN you just won another quarter of a can!!! #225
Nite, LULU
Tai has his red crate............
Looked as though Mei was ready to go in but no door opened for her that I saw....
Well, Mits I am a loner this evening & I am so hungry. I am going to find something good to eat somewhere! BBL
I think the BW cam is stuck again...
I went to the store last night and got some chicken and steak and veges and mashed taters, soo I may cook in tonight. Its dreary and showery, my kind of weather at the beach.
Believe you are correct, PAULA.
Sharon, Jo, I have an answer for you re: mystery bird... check your email!
Hello all... sorry I've been away so long, I'm still fighting whatever bug is giving me this fever. It sucks.
Hope everyone is well. Check in when I can...
Bird Girl
p.s. Steve -- I never thought that this blog was an "official government blog" or it would be on the NCTC website... I figured it was just something you did on your own for us fans! We can always start a new blog if we have to, or use one of the other ones some of us have (glo, myself...). But please, don't get into trouble on our account!
Niters Lun across the Pond there in UK.....
Happy flying this Friday to America...hope all your friends over there can do with your Panda insite till you get back. Of course Doreen and Chrissy over there will be on the Panda prowl. :)
Need to fix dinner I will bb
Sounds good Paula. Having the links to animal and bird sites and being at NCTC I thought would halp families to know these sites would be interesting and safe.
OK Sharon and Jo what is the Mystery Bird...I want to know too.
CCCCRRRRUUUUNNNCCCHH!!! Mei is inside eating her treats!
The old pop on a stick to get Tai out of the tree might just work, he is not up too high.
Its working, he is almost in.
Delphia says it is a Black-shouldered kite, Elanus caeruleus
Tai wants to nurse now.
They lured him in with the pop, then did not let him have it, that's rude.
Good Mei, she is letting him nurse.
OK Thanks...gonna have to Google that after I fix a hot drink
Printed a Bald Eagle coloring sheet for the kids, w/ eagle fun facts on the back.
Cam at BW is updating again, eagle is gone.
I CURRENTLY HAVE IN MY POSSESSION THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CALENDAR I HAVE EVER OWNED IN MY LIFE!
Glo, you did a wonderful job on this calendar. It even has my name in it!! :):):) The pictures in it are wonderful. I love the mixture of Todd's pics and our pics!! Makes it even more special! Thank you so much!!!
Sharon Cool, glad it arrived. I wanted to surprise you with your name part, I hope you were surprised. Yep I also think it is the most wonderful calendar I have ever owned too. I so love those birds!!!
Next to the collage page of our little still cam FRAPS stuff, it was the cover that actually took me several hours...but it was time well spent!!!
The eagles on the cover was the first thing I and my niece noticed. I would say that did take hours to do. Thanks again for all the hard work you put into this stuff.
Back not too much going on in here I see.
Mommie washing Buta Buta's head such a cutie pie..Lun Lun gets up it's my turn to cuddle with Buta Buta... :)
Headin Home...TTUL!
Paula got wax
Maybe she will make an Eagle statue for Open House this Sat.
Sharon what name did she put:
(1) proof reading from -
(2) Buta Buta's #1 fan
(3) Eagle eyed Sharon
(4) crisco's #1 fan, sharon
might be others can't remember them oh yea
(5) Wax Queen
LOL Dana
Are you saying we do lots of name calling around here or just for Sharon LOL
Sharon mine would probably be
Elephant in eagle nest dana :)
Eagle-eyed Sharon this time Dana!!
I have been called much worse back in the day!
Well .Dana Lets just say we all have our memorable times around here and yep, you probably had one of those this morning
Anyone venture a guess as to what the small animal is at the waterhole in Africa.... I just turned it on - Maybe someone saw a zoom close up??
WHOA !!!!!!!!!
There is the close up !!
LOL saw that Mema Jo maybe a wolf...ribs are showing and pretty skiddish. Camera man working all night I guess LOL
I was thinking a dingo. What do ya think?
Man! Knock me off my chair with that howl! I think I now see Geula's jackal
Before the Jackal, there was an ordinary looking dog-like animal drinking from the pond... He was very nervous & ran off. Then the howling jackal came.
How about Africanis, dog of Africa?
Did you hear the howl ?
Or, could it have been a painted wolf? I am googling. Be right back!
No I had the sound down while I was working so I didn't hear it.
I just learned something: dingos are from Australia & jackals are from Africa.
There wasn't a close up of the second animal... The first one could have been the side-striped jackal...
Sharon you are wise to turn the sound down unless your watching - Sure can catch you off guard.. With that howling - I thought somebody had me!
Turn up your sound !!!!
OK I don't see him now but I hear him and so do my dogs, gonna turn it off so I can turn my dogs off too LOL
