Here I am! Thanks Steve.
Funny things is that I was making a plea for a new thread & when I posted I saw Nilla's heads-up!
I had to say
Oh, Shoot! Bite my tongue about the request I just made! Steve is always a step ahead - we just can't see him coming! Thanks, Steve!

Come on GLO The FL cam is clear

You beat me over GLO only because you type faster lol

Glo now you have to settle down dear...don't get your blood pressure up it will make your cold worse. It is ok TO WORRRRRYYY CAUSE I HAVE BEEN DOING THAT FOR DAYS sorry lost control...regaining control over my emotions now. Daddy will come as we have seen "mother nature" knows more than we do..
Also if Mommie needed him I think when he brought food in she would have killed him lol (((hugs dana)))

Bad news on my email
Undeliverable - seems that I have a hard time with these people in FL. I hope that Iris see this! lol

Strange that just the other day an email from me to Lynda went right through....... But the cam is clear & just maybe there will be an update on the home page soon.......

NillaWafer said...

She is back up and calling.. Just a short tip if you click on the atand alone on the page and open it and click on the - at the top right hand corner it will go into your bottom task bar... then click the double up n down arrows for the smaller screen to stay there and its always up no moving around...

NillaWafer said...

NillaWafer said...

is Buta learning to set on her romp??? she is trying

Anonymous said...

I which they would pull the cam back just a little from the nest. He might come in and be on the edge of the nest and we wouldn't be able to see.

NillaWafer said...

Hi Iris i love the stand alone cam just bring it up when something exciting is happening...

NillaWafer said...

HAHAHA i think Buta is practicing her panda rolls so adorableeeeeeeeeee

Tai's 98 lbs is getting to be a bit much for Mei.

I never knew that pandas could run that fast.

Eagle still sitting pretty in her FL nest - Head up looking all around.

Anonymous said...

FL NEST You know, Iris said it was hot down there - may be the reason for her mouth to be open so much.
Up standing on edge of nest - looking down in nest - (counting chicks I bet) looking up to the sky....back down in nest but standing - I think she just laid down... her head is visible - turning from side to side. Will check on her later........Have to go find ButaButa..

Anonymous said...

Iris, I think the updates said that about 1 or 2 months ago that Tai starting actually stripping the stalks and eating them. I'd have to read some of the Zoo updates to be sure since our Panda Mom Mits isn't here!

Anonymous said...

IRIS FYI
November 16 : Pandas and Bamboo
Tai Shan has started to eat bamboo culm over the past month. This is the very hard stalk of the bamboo that should be inedible to all life forms. Pandas find this part of the plant highly palatable, intermittently throughout the year, for unknown reasons. It could be that it actually tastes different! At other times, they eat the ever-so-slightly more digestible leaves.

Anonymous said...

Well we have an MT Nest
ButaButa has been put back to sleep
Tai & Mei are eating dinner
SuLin is following her mother, Bai around just like Tai.
All nest MT

Time for a break! BBL

live cam is a strugglin

Anonymous said...

Yes Iris there was either an exchange, or she got up and left for just a short minute or so, about 10 mins ago. Glad to NOT see that intense vocalizing any longer. Maybe she was just announcing to everyone...Hey world they're a hatchin LOL.

Anonymous said...

and the live cam, well its got all kinds of interesting colors etc. not much else now though.

Anonymous said...

man I hate to see those psychedelic colors creeping down the still cam now :(

Anonymous said...

Panda Cam GA has a very long update for today, Friday. Very interesting.

Anonymous said...

Yes Iris it happened twice within about half hour time. Along with the loud vocalizing again actually. No way to tell really if there was an exchange.

Anonymous said...

well the live cam appears to be up but I do find it strange that it is much lighter outside after 6 pm East than it is at 5pm in Central State so...although the picture is clear I highly doubt it is current.

Anonymous said...

No, cam is definitely not current, it is dark here. Mine has lines across the top, too. Hope we are not going to be stuck with a non-working cam all wknd. It's a long wknd too, Monday is a holiday.

Yes floral and I did mean the still cam. Yep long weekend. it has been a great week though and we have got lots of neat film captures and photos from the cam when it did work well for us. Timing is everything LOL.

I didn't see any post from Nilla about how Dawn was doing. Didn't see Sharon on either - I hope she isn't having any problem with that abcess - with all the stress, I worry....

How're you guys doing?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good evening all my eagle buddies. I am staying home tonight for the first time since losing my sister. Good to be back in my room, in my bed with all my dogs and Mattie with me! I have to say again how much I appreciate the love, support and prayers I have received from you all. One year ago I had not one clue any of you even existed and now I feel so blessed with some of the closest friends I have ever had!

belle_wv said...

I'm doing a little fishin' floral - hoping to catch a stringfish or at least a couple of red snappers :)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Belle, I saw your post after I posted. Funny how things work out, huh?

Anonymous said...

Hi Sharon, bet it does feel good to be home again. Glad you are doing a little better.

belle_wv said...

Hi Sharon :) I'm glad you're able to settle in at home - nothing feels better than your own bed after being away from it for days...

how're you doing? The meds got the infection going away?

belle_wv said...

stepping away from the computer for a little while - I'll check back in before beddy bye time - sweet dreams to any who head off to slumber land before I return {{{{hugs}}}}}

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I won't know if it is getting rid of the abscess for a couple more weeks when I go back to Charlottesville. I go Monday to the surgeon here to have a colonoscopy scheduled. I still have quite a bit of pain and don't have much energy most of the time. Of course, I also haven't been resting much either. I am starting back to work on Monday, only 4 hours a day. Hopefully I will be able to. Hard to live without money! :)

Sorry to hear you are still in so much pain. Just take it slow, Sharon.

Sharon there are some very cute short videos of Buta Buta on their site that you and Mattie would love if you haven't already seen them.

Good morning eagle buddies.

Well I've been up for quite awhile now. Seen sunrise everywhere.

Sent around pics of BW eagles mating at BW osprey nest for you.

Our eagle cam is too light so I'm sure its is down.
No live feed either when ever I've checked. grrrrrr

Florida eagle still riding her nest.

Tai and Mei were inside. Tai did eat alot of bamboo then played in black tub. They both are outside now.

Maine is pretty as usual and the eagles called are heard.

I do believe after watching the female eagle in the nest in Florida. That there is at least one eaglet....saw her removing from where stuff would be under her. Materials which I believe is probably where the eaglet used the "potty". Only my thoughts...
