CANDY-
I wish I was your friend from Richmond!
Great day for swimming.

Norma I made a slide show of the labor vefore they turned off the cam and yes I also have 2 pictures from the birth video on there as well but I agree, you really aren't going to see the baby in those pictures. You just know it happened then :).

The slide show is on the For The Love Of Eagles forum under San Diego...You get there by going to my Blog just click on my name right here; and taking the link to the forum, just under the Live Eagle cam chatroom.

I think Suzanne is on the FeedBlitz and has probalby seen the forum link there when she visits. If she is lacking pictures I will send her a couple of them...such a neat gal and hard worker.

Have a Great Day all...soon now Guardian Eagle will have completed her special assignment at Frederick Memorial Hospital and be on her way elsewhere, but He will be by the side of MeMa Jo and her family as the recovery and rest continue from home.

Candy, nice breeze off the ocean...SD cam is on the cub site.

paula eagleholic said...

Good afternoon, all.

Glad to hear they really did let Jo go home this morning. Hope she is getting some rest!

Mits - I didn't get to see Su Lin. the lines were too long. Saw everything else, though.

Wild lightning storm last night, big bolts of thunder hitting the ground, but only enough rain to wet the pavement.

Done counting inventory, so I get to work in the office the rest of the day...

MITS--
What does Mom do with baby panda at this time, while it is so small? Does she hold it or put it in the straw?

paula eagleholic said...

Puget sound cam still stuck on July 31,

Kent, SC, CT, LI are all MT :(

Glad we will have a new panda to watch :)

paula eagleholic said...

Wanda, she will cuddle the cub in her arms, just like a person!

Costume Lady said...

PAULA--
Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure what pandas do with such a small offspring--thought perhaps, they might be like a kangaroo and keep it in pouch until it grows a more viable size.

MITS said...

No pouches in pandas, Wanda. Just like Paula said, normally just keep it close to their 4 nippes to feed,doesn't stray to far from the cub. Bai is a 4th time mom and she is doing an excellent job.

paula eagleholic said...

Mits - It can be days or a week or more? before she will leave the cub and only then for few minutes

paula eagleholic said...

Osprey in CT

paula eagleholic said...

I see Bai is snuggling with the new cublet now :)

paula eagleholic said...

Mits - Is there a term for a baby panda, other than baby panda.

paula eagleholic said...

Or Panda Cub, I should say.

MITS said...

Panda cub is correct, and yes, it can be days or weeks before pandas eat or drink. I think it was 10 or 12 days before Mei left Tai, and the minute he opened his mouth to cry, she shot right back. I remember the day of his 1st checkup, she tried to climb thru the little window on the door to get to him.

paula eagleholic said...

Wonder what that is in the CT nest? Looks like a stiff piece of rope perhaps. Chick is standing on it, making it move up and down on the right side of the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

BTW, Gene, love the Capt Eagle name.

carolinabeachmom said...

Hey PAULA, Just wanted to thank you for representing the Eagle Momsters to keep an eye on Jo when we couldn't get there for her. It takes a special lady fo do things like that for others. I really bet she was glad to see you when visited.

carolinabeachmom said...

That SD panda is sure a very attentive mother. I hope she rested up, as shw'll have her hands full now for awhile. :)

paula eagleholic said...

Candy - Like I said in the email, loved giving Jo the hug and kiss knowing who all was behind it! :)

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like she has been cleaning the lil' cublet. Still haven't seen it yet!

MITS said...

Wish they had audio at SD.

paula eagleholic said...

paula eagleholic said...

Heading home for now, see ya later!

MITS said...

Bai is sleeping more than any other new panda mom I have seen.

MITS said...

CU Later, Paula:).

MITS said...

Wow...have not looked in on the Kent eaglets recently, they sure have grown.

MITS said...

Bai Yun and her new cub are doing very well this first evening. I have been impressed tonight with how quiet our new youngster is. The cub is resting quietly for long stretches, some 20 to 30 minutes at a time on occasion. This is great for Bai Yun in that she gets to rest a lot too, recouperating after her very busy day.

Bai Yun has, as always, demonstrated her capacity for excellent mothering. She soothes the cub quickly with her gentle licking, holds the cub close in her forepaws, or tucks her nose down between her paws and breathes warm air into the space around the cub. I am actually very pleased to say I really haven’t seen the cub much since I arrived here at 4 p.m., which means Bai Yun is very ably doing her job of covering and protecting her cub from the elements.

So far, this cub seems to me most like Su Lin, who was also relatively quiet and undemanding from the moment of birth. This could be a temperament issue: do Bai Yun and Gao Gao just produce very mellow cubs? Or perhaps it’s a testament to Bai Yun’s experience: Mama has all the right moves!

I FEEL BETTER AFTER READING THIS ON SD'S SITE

WELCOME, HOME, JO:):):)!
