Thanks Bob for brining us over and thank you Steven for new thread. Can't wait to hear Bedington or Shepherdstown which the Deputy Chief of Bedington I spoke to last night. Steven I emailed you his phone number. Either way Fire Department ladder/bucket truck will be helping NCTC !! ( :
Good morning:) Looking for the sun. Hello, Bob, thanks for sharing your BW pictures with us last night. They are beautiful, as usual.
Suzanne and everyone have you checked out the 8 cams on Peggy's Cove site. Down on the right says "More Cams" click on the one for Halifax Nova Scotia. Wow beautiful!!!! On the 3rd cam is a beautiful tourist cruise ship.
Today in port they are expecting the Carnival Victory one of the Carnival Cruise ships. Passengers 3,340 wow.
Wow, thanks for the new thread, Steven.
Thanks for the heads up, Bob! Love your pics, by the way.
Cool cams, Dana. Check out Bonaire, cam3...one heck of a rain storm! Pitch black almost!
I was talking with a co-worker yesterday who lives in Sheperdstown. She said she was driving down a back road lined with trees on both sides when a huge owl swooped down and flew down the road in front of her. She said it was awesome.
Ooohh, see what I missed last night...new pics....will have to go investigate.....
Morning, all!
Uh oh, Good morning, Megan, and good morning, Bob. Just jumped right in here, how rude of me.
Megan, I'm with ya, those chairs sure look nice. Have you watched this guy wind surfing? He had a time getting the sail on, but then off he went. Guess he's been gone about a half hour.
Morning, Paula.
Bob, she must have been driving in the dark. I've had them too, come to work in the dark. Scared me to death, though, they just come out of nowhere, and they're huge!
Hi Suzanne, Dana and Paula. Saw him, Suzanne, and someone just sat in my beach chair, but there are still several available.
Morning Bob, Paula, Megan and Lurkers.
I'm having fun watching these 8 new cams I found on Peggy's Cove site. Suzanne one of the one's say watch it at night time too. Bet harbor is all lite up.
Well, Megan, you'll just have to tell that guy to get up, you wanted to sit down! That guy in the green shirt is having a time. I'm guessing this may be his first or second time, but he's having a good time, so who cares! Doesn't it just look too comfy there!??!
Dana, I'll be there are some pretty views at night, there.
Uh oh, looks like the storm is over on cam 3, but getting ready to hit cam 1...it's really getting dark!
Frieda is becomming visible...
Yeah, I could really use a beach vacation, couldn't we all. They look like they are having fun.
Darn can't find my wind surfing cam what do I have it under lol..???
Got it oh boy
My Fin baby is back...
Bai is totallly conked out, think she has Squiggles in her paws.
I'd just be happy sitting on a bench watching all the people walking by and listening to the waves and seagulls. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Exactly what I'm thinking, Dana:)
Think we missed the divers. If you look at the thumbnail, he's there, but he's not on cam.
Suzanne - Stepped away for a meeting for a minute. Yes, she was driving in the dark and the owl startled her. She thinks owls are scary, nasty creatures so I sent her this link:
Cute Owls
Wow, gazillions of fish!
Here comes the diver, top of screen.
Well, never mind, he's gone...
I love owls! Little bit of Night Owl in my makeup!
Good Morning Everyone
Where is my sunshine?
Ah, Bob, they are adorable! I think they're very pretty, but they are huge when you're driving at night, and then all of a sudden they appear, then they're gone again just as fast! Gets the ol' ticket going for a minute!
Finny has another mini whale!
Morning, MemaJO! How are ya today? We're all watching the windsurfers on beach.
And Finny, of course...he's brought in another whale of a fish, and using his wings to help get a grip!
Bai is nursing.
Wow, those owl pics are awesome. Jo, you should check out Bob's link, too cute.
Hi Suzanne! Got yours and Jim's pics of Finny. Thanks. Feeling pretty perky today with no place to go lol
My one cat loves to sit in the rain puddles out on the picnic table and the other one doesn't even like to get him feet wet! Go figure!
Need to put out an Alarm for
NILLA. It has been too long! Anyone see any communications from her recently?
I did check out that family of owls that Bob posted. Our Ms Owl is still staying at the motel.
Bob, your pics from yesterday are georgous! Love all your wildlife photography, you are very good!
Oh, look at the fog or rain at the beach now! Spooky looking view!
DIVERS.
Finny is falling asleep standing up. He's eaten himself into a stupor!
Gazillions of fish on cam now.
I'm jealous. I can't view any cams at work. The federal government actually expects us to get things done during the day!
Uh oh, Bob, shhhhhhhhhhh
Haven't seen or heard anything from Nilla. I believe it was early last week maybe midweek. Not sure. Last I heard everything was okay with her.
Forgot, there was a power outage here, may have affected her house but not her work. NILLA?????????
Guess who is "Up the Tree"?
No not the bucket guy -
Our Tai!
Good Morning MemaJo and Jill....
Bob I wouldn't think they would mine you taking some R & R on cams. lol
Hello JO:) How are you feeling? Hi Jill:)
Megan - I can't believe you want sun! Is the garden too muddy now?
I know I do!
Hi Jill, hi, Paula.
Just lost Bai and Squiggles, anybody else getting them?
just checked the Seneca Rocks cam, they have sun. I have asked that they send some this way.
GOOD MORNIN' EAGLE BUDDIES!!---BOB (favorite photographer)--DANA---MEGAN--SUZANNE---PAULA & MEMA JO---It's a grey a.m. in WV--temp 68°--expected to warm up this afternoon!!!----I had a busy day yesterday--then I couldn't log on -----Doing fine this a.m.---but I have to sign on a "few" times---BOB---I so ENJOY your pics---LOVED THE OWLS!!!---Who wouldn't love those faces??---I understand DANA is getting our new "cam" up---You GO GIRL!!!---Just read MEGAN will have to learn JAPANESE--COOL--SUZANNE is keeping us updated on all IMPORTANT happenings!!!---JO is feeling "TOO PERKY" this a.m.---KIDDING' JO!!---GREAT your feeling better!!

Hi Norma - Hubby is headed to Romney this am with 2 of our children. Hopefully they will brighten up Dad's day. And hopefully in a few weeks I will be coming along. Car rides still have too many bumps for me to be comfortable......... But I will get there!
Megan - how was the 1st real day of school?
MORNIN' JILL!!!---What's the SENECA ROCKS SITE!!!---Didn't know they had a cam?---COOL!!!!----How's JOEY like school????
Well, Paula, that's a gardener for you, we always would like to control the weather. The problem is, I now need some sun to open some flowers for the weekend. So many cloudy days in a row, things are not popping open. Hello Norma, NO, there is no way I will learn Japanese, but I'm quite sure my daughter will be fluent in it.
Finny just left, poof, gone. The whole time he was standing there, he kept his foot on his fish. Didn't eat it, just wanted to make sure nobody else took it. Then poof, he's gone, and wouldn't ya know, so is the fish! Heaven forbid someone may come and take a bite!!!
GOOD THURSDAY A.M., BOB LOVE THE OWLS
MEMA JO!!---That's GREAT---Your husband must have approved of the place----I never notice the "bumps"---BUT IT IS CERTAINLY IS A "CURVY" ROAD!!!!!---Bet HELEN would be "sea sick" after that ride--ho!
Good Morning Mits!
Too bad we weren't watching the Bonnaire cam about 10 days ago, when Hurricane Dean was nearby, kept forgetting to tune into it.
First day of school went very well! "Best ever"
Morning, Mits!
It was raining there this morning, got totally dark!
DIVERS.
LOL...I can get car sick, Norma, but love being on the sea. Jo, Tai has been up the tree alot lately. It would be nice if the zoo updated the panda page. Hasn't had an update since the big guys' bithday.
Divers
Looks like one may be taking pics.
SUZANNE---FINNY will probably check for finger-prints!!!--ho!--My favorite "selfish" OSPREY CHICK!!!---HE'S A TRIP!!!---Now must check our "BRAVE LITTLE PRINCE"---LOVE HIM TOO!!----WOW!---I seem to be lovin' every one today!!---We receive such JOY from all these "kids"!!!!!
This is the first time I have seen them, your right Suzanne, those fishes really dissappear when the divers are around.
Norma, you are a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day:):):)
The "LITTLE PRINCE" is sitting in a "pile" of BAMBOO!!---He probably thinks he is in HEAVEN!!!
Hey Ya Good Friends, Hi to Suzanne, Bob (loved the pics from yesterday) and I love OWLS, so I will take a peek at those too. Hi Megan, Paula, Dana, (dana - Im'm thinking beach - too) Morming Mema Jo, you sure do sound spry today. Hi Norma Byrd, did you sleep laate? You usually don;t do you. Ditton on Nilla, Jo. Hope you all are having a good day. Been praying for our own Bird Girl today. Anyone heard from her today. God Bless You all. donna
Morning Mits and Normabyrd
I've been enjoying the cams today too.
Good Morning Dear Mits, have you started count down for new baby yet? donna
Hey Norma, Joey is doing fine. Doesn't like Shepherd but he will survive. I think sometimes he just says it to irritate me. Spent almost every weekend down there over the summer. (Guess he thought I wouldn't remember)
Did you see my post about the eagle being seen in Grant County?
http://www.senecarocks.com/webcam.html
Not the greatest camera but serves it's purpose.
Norma has always been a breath of fresh air for me, too. Thank you Norma. donna
Jill, I didn't see post about eagle in Grant Co Is that the link? thanks donna
Yes, Donna, we are anxiously waiting for baby #2. Doctor is covering his butt this time since Maggie was so early, says anytime between the 18th of Sept to the 5th of Oct. Way to go, Doc. Anyhow doesn't matter, just praying for healthy baby boy or girl:), and that our Annie is ok:).
Jill, I cut and pasted the address and all I saw was what I thought was a bunch of bugs on a rock AND IT WAS REAL PEOPLE ON A GIGANTIC ROCK. Made me laugh at myself, donna
Didn't work for me, Jill:(
You said it all Mits, I know that Maggie will love her or him. Have they talked about names? Is annie feeling okay. Do you keep her a lot. This is a book and this is your chapter. LOL. donna
playing in Atlanta
BBL have a blessed one, gotta read some essays. donna
Hi Mits and Mauley:) Link worked for me, but dial up is so slow and I already have too many screens open.
No, I was telling Norma that a friend of mine saw an eagle flying near the Potomac some where between Seneca and Petersburg.
MITS-try www.senecarocks.com and click on the camera link. That should work
No Donna, don't get to see her much, even when I am home in Bethesda, she goes to day-care, and they are busy on weekends, but this Grandma needs to be a little more pushy, she only lives 5 mins from the other granparents.
Morning, Mauley. Norma, you do sound very up today, such a ray of sunshine! Course you always are, just a bit brighter today.
Raining in Bonaire again, but not as dark as it was this morning.
Yeah, Norma, we're gonna have to get Finny a fingerprint kit! Selfish little bugger!
Looks like it might have stopped raining on Frieda, but she looks uncomfortable, bless her heart.
Mits, glad you got to see the divers. There is one guy that always comes up to the cam and waives!
Lots of people at Peggy's Cove today!
Finny still out and about, and got my SD cam back, but Mai Sheng was on there eating bamboo, now she's climbing a tree.
My little Hummer just came by to visit and say hello! Love that little tiny critter!
AREN'T YOU "SWEET" HELEN!!---Did you go to the ZOO yesterday??---I bet TAI misses you!!---You are correct!!!---They haven't given us any updates on "OUR LITTLE PRINCE" for a while!!!---
Mits - I didn't notice anything unusual at the bonaire webcam over the past couple of days when the hurricane was coming through
No, Donna, I'm at the beach til after Labor Day...Paula, this would have been about 10 days ago when it was passing the Antilles. They did not get a direct hit.
SUZANNE---I need to to check on the COVE site---I have watched several times & I have never SEEN a diver!!!----Haven't checked on the "ATLANTA BEAUTY" this a.m.---Hope she's awake!!!
Norma, divers are there a couple times a day. This morning it looked like one was taking pictures, and another one was taking samples of the coral. The one guy always comes up to the cam and waives, then he waives bye bye when he leaves. Too cute. Hope he knows he's waiving to the world!
Somehow, I thought it was a no-no to touch the coral. The UV index there today is 10+ and the heat index will be 105.
Love the Finland nest as the sun is setting on it! It's beautiful.
So did I, Mits, since coral is becoming endangered with all the water pollution!
JO---I logged on & LUN LUN was walking in circles & this "LITTLE BLACK & WHITE ROCKET" shot out of there---turned a somersault!!--POW!--The chase was on---They are so funny!!-----
SUZANNE---HOPE I AM NOT TOO LATE!!SAFE JOURNEY HOME & HUGS TO "G"---
NO SUZANNE!!!---He knows what time you are usually watching & he is WAVING TO YOU!!----Tell him to keep his hands off the coral!!!--ho!
Oh, they changed the view on the windsurfing cam...I like it!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE--
I was up at 4 o'clock this morning. My mind was scrolling like computer mouse was attached to my brain. I got up and fooled with some projects on the PC and chatted with Suz a bit---got some coffee and went back to bed. Feel like a million now.
SUZ--
Guess what? Tomorrow is FRIDAY!
Have a safe trip home.
OSPREY CHICK in CT NEST----MANTLING something---can't see what he is hiding!!!!---I enjoy watching this site!!!!
Talk to you tomorrow, Suzanne
FINNY is in the nest eating----The SUN RAYS are AWESOME!!!
Maybe on Frieda's cam that is a Falcon Spirit watching over her....
Time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle/panda day. Bai is back, but as usual, she's in the prone position sound asleep! Poor Frieda looks wet, as does the cam, still. Norma, I always waive back! LOL, Wanda, good to see you back! Mits, everybody blog at ya tomorrow. Love watching Finny, see ya tomorrow, little guy!
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly! Oh yea, FRIDAY tomorrow! YEAH
GOOD NOON-TIME WANDA!!!!---I'm glad you got caught up on your sleep-----I can't go back to bed in the a.m.--I will feel lousy---But in the afternoon--LOVE TO NAP!!---Hasn't this weather been perfect for that too!!---
One or two of the otters at DC are swimming around
Otter Cam
Alright, Wanda, are you still in your pj's?
Mits, You're right, it passed by Bonaire last Saturday....I didn't notice anything unusual, I think they are too far south...the island is right north of Venezula, to the east of Aruba. I was looking because I was wondering if it had any affect on the islands....
JILL---I just checked the SENECA ROCKS SITE---WOW!---Things have improved since I have been there---
10° warmer there too!!
EAGLE MOMSTERS---This are is in CAROL'S beautiful county & close to where JILL grew up!!----
MEGAN!!---Are you in your pjs too!!!---ho!---You aren't used to having a day when you don't have to water or hoe in the "boiling weather"---It's your time to RELAX!!!
Nope, got dressed at 7 am, Norma. Already been outside for a while, but you are right, I wasn't watering. Think it will be warm again here tomorrow and Sat. looks hot. I'm working inside right now, scheduling pumpkin patch field trips:)
Megan - We are going to have
Puny Pumpkins this year per Mauley
lol
Yep, you are right about that, Jo.
Well, I am out of here shortly for a meeting then to the Dr. - Darn toenail (the one that got smashed last year) is now ingrown - ouch! Gotta go get it taken care of...later!
Everything looks fine at the islands, bet it is really cheap to go there this time of year, might have to look into that, also look into the travel insurance in case a storm comes up. Ouch, Paula:(.
Do you need to borrow the cane, Paula. Let me know?
Good Morning (again), everybody...
I was up very, very early with Suzanne, then back to sleep, and then, and then.....
I think I was up and down a couple too many times, but probably this is the real thing.
I want to say that Bob's photos are super good this week too. Really great photography.
OK, now I can get my coffee and get back to the interesting, new educational world of nestcams.
BSOK?
Jim
OH MEGAN!!---Forgot about those Pumpkin Patch Trips---My Grand-kids went on those every year when they lived in Harpers Ferry & Shepherdstown---I have GREAT PICS from those trips!!!!---About age 2 through 10----Thanks for reminding me---I had almost forgotten!!
WELCOME BACK to EAGLE WORLD JIM!!!-----Hope you are having SEATTLE'S BEST in your cup!!---(don't yell)--
Maybe the local momsters could schedule a corn maze/pumpkin patch trip this fall! With Megan as our guide, of course.
Hey Jill, thanks for telling me about the Seneca Rocks webcam. I didn't know they had one. For those of you who don't know, Seneca Rocks is a famous rock climbing destination in this part of the mid-Atlantic States. It's about 10 or 12 miles from where I work. I know some rock climbers and think that they are totally crazy for doing what they do! This area is also well-known for its caves. I also know some spelunkers and think that they are totally crazy for what they do! But - "to each his own" - as they say.
Donna - thanks for your kind words about cats and dogs. Several homeless creatures have also made their way to me over the years (or the other way around). I am glad that my living situation at the time made it possible to share my home and my time with them. My dog, a full-bred Norweigian Elkhound, came from a shelter. The night before I went to the shelter to check him out, I dreamed of him sleeping on my bed with me (which he does - in the same spot as in my dream!). When I went to the shelter, I looked at him in his cage and he quietly and intently looked at me. Then I walked away to ask if I could take him out for a walk on a leash. He immediately started barking, as if to say "Don't leave me - I'm yours". And in my heart he was "mine" and I was his the moment I first looked at him. It was meant to be! I love him dearly. Altho my religious beliefs are not the same as yours, my feelings are similar - we must take care of the other creatures that we share this reality with. They are our brothers and sisters on this journey.
From everything I can see, I am being told that it is Panda Nap time
BBL
Last night on PBS (WV)---I watched a VERY INTERESTING program about the "EMPEROR PENQUINS"----They are the tallest & largest of all penguins----They are the only penguin that breeds during the ANTARCTIC WINTER!!!--They have the golden circular strips on their body!! They are very social, they nest, hunt food, etc. in groups!!!--They can dive 490 to 820 ft. & live to be 20 to 40 years---They are endangered with the global warming---The icebergs are breaking up, making the ice too uneven for them----to climb over to reach the ocean-----Look for it in your area!!
I don't think anyone has mentioned gas prices lately...THEY'VE DROPPED TO THE LOW $2.50's at ARCO stations in So Cal(do you have ARCO back east? They don't do credit cards, so the price is lower.).
Jim
GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU CAROL!!!!---I told JILL---The SENECA ROCKS area has certainly changed since I was there last!!!---Remembered the name YOKUM MOTEL!---We used to go through there to get to POTOMAC STATE----(Too Many Moons ago)-ho!
Hi, Norma. The whole area from Seneca Rocks north to Petersburg (Rt 55) has really changed in the past several years. There are so many rental cabins and new homes along the road that it looks like a different place!
Norma-next time you see the good Dr. ask him if I could see the eagles from my dad's old house or Cookmans old house across the street. It's on the Point which would be across from the area he mentioned to you. My friend spotted one somewhere around Cabins. Havent' been in touch with him to find out where exactly.
Anne still can't get into blog.
Hi Carol, Mits, Norma, Paula, MemaJo, Jill, earlier Bob, and everyone.
Later Suzanne.......
JIM--
The price of gas here fluctuates so much that I never know the real price at any one time. I think it is 2.75gal. right now. 2 weeks ago it was 2.79 here the day we left for our trip to Va. Beach and it was only 2.41 at the beach. We really do get gouged in Martinsburg and Shepherdstown.
Gas is 2.659 most places in Martinsburg.
This is long...
Panda Gives Surprise Birth in Austria
By VERONIKA OLEKSYN, Associated Press Writer
1 hour ago
VIENNA, Austria - A giant panda on loan from China gave her Austrian zookeepers a surprise Thursday: the first panda cub born in Europe in 25 years.
Caretakers at the Schoenbrunn Zoo detected the cub on a surveillance camera after hearing little squeals coming from an enclosed compound where the mother, Yang Yang, had retreated. Zookeepers had not been certain Yang Yang was pregnant.
A photograph released by the zoo showed Yang Yang, a first-time mother, holding the tiny creature in her mouth and looking up toward the camera.
Zookeepers estimated the cub weighs 3.5 ounces and measures 3.9 inches.
"'Yang Yang' means sunshine, and that's what she is," zoo director Dagmar Schratter told reporters with a broad smile outside the panda enclosure.
The last time pandas were born in Europe was in Madrid in 1982, the zoo said on its Web site. A panda gave birth to twin cubs through artificial insemination.
Mother and cub will remain in the enclosed area for the next two to three months. The cub, whose name will be picked by the Chinese, will likely start crawling in about four months and will probably make its public debut around that time, Schratter said.
The cub was born 127 days after Yang Yang mated with the male panda Long Hui, the zoo said. The two pandas are in Austria on loan from China.
Schratter said an Aug. 6 ultrasound had not shown any signs of the pregnancy but caretakers became suspicious a few days ago when 7-year-old Yang Yang started taking material into the area where she delivered her cub Thursday. She had done so before, however, without giving birth.
Schratter said the pregnancy occurred naturally. Female pandas often are artificially inseminated after they mate to raise the chances of a pregnancy, said Regina Pfistermueller, a zoologist who co-wrote a book about pandas with Schratter.
Found that on my comcast news. It does show her looking up with the panda cub in her mouth.
Carol, everything changed up there after the flood. A lot of the old cabin owners sold out and land was purchased by those building rental cabins. Not the same place. I use have a favorite rock I would go sit on up the river from the bridge. Now your lucky to find a spot to sit anywhere without somebody griping.
Steven sent me a note back saying "we're working" so he must have made a connection with the fire department.
Gas prices have been falling steadily for weeks here...hope it continues until it reaches the vicinity of $2.00/gal.
Jim
That sounds good to me Jim
We also have areas where the gas prices are higher...obvious ones are in tourist areas where they have to make their living during the season, but the farther the distributors have to transport it, the more the cost, which is passed on to the consumers.
Jim
Looks very wet in Frieda's nest area. Has anyone seen the eggs today? How many?
Jim
Jim Frieda is in better shape now looks like the rains may have stop. I don't think she has been off the eggs today.
Norma - Have you seen March of the Penguins? I highly recommend it.
Jo - Don't think I need the cane! All feels pretty good, so far! Still a little numb. The Dr. just took off part of the toenail - should just be a little sore for a couple of days!
Going to go check the cams real quick...everyone coming home for dinner tonight!
Frieda looks wet
BW - MT
CT - MT
SC - still black screen
WE - no video
Finland = not working or dark
Fish at Bonaire
People relaxing at the windsurf cam
Kent, Puget and swallows are MT
Owl is sleeping
People at Peggy's cove
Boats in the harbor at Halifax
That's all, guess I'll go work on dinner...Later!
Thanks, Paula. The camera at Frodocam has condensation or something on the lens.. Been like that for couple days with the rain. I have NOT seen her off the eggs (2) today. I've been trying to catch a glimpse - but no luck yet.
Enjoy your family this evening!
Forecast is for HOT and Muggy tomorrow... I wish it would stay in the high 70's the rest of summer.
I had a great 2 hr Panda Nap this afternoon and I feel great! Dinner time now -
Lots of panda news around the world - And ButaButa will be 1 yr old soon!
Time does go right on and on and on..
Time waits for no one is what they say.
I keep trying to put up our Cam - just thinking I might get a pic! I am sure Steve will keep us posted
THIS IS PART OF SAN DIEGO'S UPDATE TODAY ON THE 1ST EXAM.....During the brief exam, the vets checked the cub for any abnormalities and collected measurements such as weight, length, and girth (boy, does that little cub have a round belly!). They reported that the cub is very healthy and that the heart and lungs sounded good. It weighed in at 23.5 ounces (666 grams) and is already 11.4 inches (29 centimeters) long from nose to tail. These measurements are comparable to those collected on its siblings at this age. During the exam the cub was quite vigorous, letting out a few loud squawks. The vets were still not able to determine the sex quite yet. Historically, they are able to confirm the sex of a new panda cub after the second vet exam. So we’ll all have to wait just a little bit longer to find out if it’s a boy or a girl. Personally I’m just happy to see that it’s so healthy.
The rest can be found on their panda Blogs
Cub is all by itself now.
It has been soooo dark in the den of Bai and Squiggles. Half the time I can't make out what I am seeing.
Howdy all. Kids and grandkid gone. BTW, I found out next week whether the second grandbaby is a boy or a girl!
Had marinated chicken breast on the grill, scalloped taters and corn. Yum!
How is everyone?
Hi everybody. Its hot!!!!! I'm so glad I'm inside. I'm waiting for Friday. Now to find something for dinner that I wont have to cook.
Jim - Hard to believe your gas prices in CA are cheaper than here. We are at $2.65.
Jim I'm $2.64 if I look hard for it.
Heidi - I do BLT's or salad or pasta salad when it's that hot.
Cool, didn't know they got to examine our little wiggler today!
I grabbed some left over cold chicken . I know I should eat but yuck its hot. When I cam in the front door it said 107. No breeze from the delta either.
WOW - 107° - Now that's HOT!!
Paula guess your nickname for the panda that you called him/her last night was right on....Chublet:)...little porker
Frieda looks like she is drying out - Yay!
Yuppers! Mama's milk is doing its wonders!
Can't believe it is 11" long already.
Hi Gals, I guess our heat index will be up tomorrow. I have been trying all evening to keep an eye on Frieda as to what is under her - but she has not budged! I am almost tempted to say that maybe it is Frodo - I forget how we used to be able to tell them apart - if in fact we ever did.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE Sun might make an apperance here tomorrow, feel sorry for the vacationers this week, not a very good beach week
That why we see the tail disappearing, it is growning into it.
Paula its nasty. I had to put a blanket down on my car seat because it was too hot to sit on it to drive home. It will last about another two weeks and then it will be beautiful.
I cant get over Bobs photos. He is such a talent. He cant get the cams and I cant get the blog. I wish these company's would gt their acts together. I got more done at work with access to the blog because it gave me a break and kept the interest up. Now its hard to get through the day.
BBl. have company..
Jo - I think one of them, Frodo, had a "sleeker" look. His feathers seemed more in place.
Well, I wish she would go find some lunch and let us see if there are still only 2 eggs. John did update the gallery (I don't care for the format) on the home page.
Night, Mits. CU Later Anne.
I am about ready to call it a day!
I checked out the galleries - seems like the first egg was laid on the 18th, not the 19th
I can't remember last year if it were 3 or 4 she laid......
She had 3, Jo.
This is not good news on health:
...People who spend more pre-bedtime hours using the Internet or watching television are more likely to report that they don’t get enough sleep, even though they sleep almost as long as people who spend fewer pre-bedtime hours in front of a computer or television screen, survey findings show. Guess I better read a book lol
There are now 3 eggs under Freida.
Good Night everyone.
Glo Did you get the pic? Guess I'll go look on your forum... Good Night
Yepper! Glo got the pic!
They are a pretty pink threesome!
Frieda's Third Egg
LOl - I didn't get enough sleep last night because I was up late reading!!
Good night, all!
Morning, Suz
WELl JO--Guess it is our turn.
GOOD NIGHT TO ALL NIGHT OWLS.
Get ready for a return of the hot weather tomorrow.
Well it is that time - Wonder where Wanda, the early bird is tonight? Since I might get out of here before she catches me .. I best be on the run..........
Good Night Everyone
Peace to you and yours
Prayers being said for all your needs
Good FRIDAY morning Suzanne and all you other early coffee drinkers
DUH !!!! I didn't make it!
Good Night my special keeper!
((((( HUGS )))))
Alright then, I'm shutting this place down for the night. Unless Jim sneaks back in here...
Frieda came through with 3 eggs again!!
Beautiful egg, Glo, Mema Jo, but just one question: Which egg is the third one???
I've been busy doing dumb stuff ... like mailing forms in, buying some glue and small tools, and then grocery shopping ... now, I'm all tired and sweaty (sniff, sniff). This retired thing ain't as easy as it looked like it would be....
Any word on whether the NCTC equipment got lifted into the tree yet?
Come on, everybody can't go to bed yet... I just got on!!
Hey, what do you mean by that, Floral Girl??
Jim
Mema Jo,
I suspect the health report relating to TV and Computer is due to poor posture, plus the additional eye strain.
I know that in spite of the correct way of sitting before the computer being taught to us many times at work, I find myself sitting at odd angles and distances, AND I fail to do the periodic stretching and breathing exercises. So, guess what, I get more tired than I should, just from playing on the computer.
I guess you could listen to tapes of some good books, and save the eyes for the baby Pandas on the INet.
Jim
Aha! I knew Jim would sneak in here when I wasn't looking. Hope retirement isn't wearing you out too much:) I can not seem to get to sleep.
Paula, I looked at the pic of the first egg Frieda layed (taken by the girl in the UK), and it was close to 10:30 pm on 8/18, which would make it like 8:00 am in Cal. on the same day (I think!).
But before checking the girls pic, I was thinking Frieda laid the 1st one the morning of the 19th, the 2nd on the morning of the 21st, and now the 3rd on the morning of the 24th... gaps of 2 days and 3 days, which is "about normal" for Peregrines and for Frieda.
Jim
I myself am thinking of doing a study on people who conduct studies on why people can't sleep. Fascinating stuff, I'm sure.
Hi, Megan,
Yup, I did indeed sneak in right behind your "shut down."
I've had the "can't get to sleep, can't go to work" thing many times.
You won't believe what I solved it with when I was working nights... and I still use it....
It's just an over-the-counter sleep aid (SavOn in this case). Says it is "doxylamine succinate" and you can take 1 or 2 tablets. But the first time I took it, I used 1 tablet...slept half the next day and wasn't very alert for the other half of the day. So I reduced it radically until I'm taking maybe 1/16th of a tablet (maybe less) with some milk, wait a few minutes, and it works like a champ. You would have to find your own dosage, but it would probably work for you too.
Jim
Interesting, Jim, I'll have to check it out. I guess I was thinking about too many things to go to sleep. I did lay down,but was wide awake. Sometimes your body wants to sleep and your mind just won't stop for a few hours. Of course it didn't help that Pepe le pew must have walked right by my open window. what a scent, I have a very sensitive nose.
Well, Megan, your nose doesn't need to be TOO sensitive to smell Pepe ... totally gross, and then of course your Collie mix that just couldn't leave poor Pepe alone has to charge in to the house and maybe jump on everyone in sight. That's what mine did, and, of course, I was elected to give this behemoth, who hated baths, his total dousing.
That happened more than once where I grew up.
Jim
Alright, now I'm really out of here, you're on your own, Jim. Goodnight:)
Oh, yuck, can't imagine having to get that scent off a dog. Guess you had to use tomato juice as they say to do. Funny thing is, I'm the only one in the house that smells it, they are like,huh? I don't smell anything. Talk to you later.
Good luck with the sleep, Megan...
At least try a couple of soda crackers and some milk.
Jim
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY/GOOD MORNING, SUZANNE AND CANDY AND WHOEVER ELSE COMES IN EARLY... IT'S TGIF DAY! ENJOY. ENJOY!
JIM
Good morning, eagle world. Running late this morning...sat at McDonalds at Tyson's Corner for 15 minutes this morning! Geesh. Couldn't back out, and 2 cars in front of me, place sure was busy at 3:45 this morning! So anyway, made it to Friday in any case. And Norma, 3 cop cars had a guy pulled over this morning on Rt 7, they were searching his car, and had a tow truck ready to impound it. Along the same stretch of road the last car was being searched...and shortly before the guy was driving on the wrong side of the road. So you're probably right, searching for drugs or something. Seems to be a good search area...
Finny is not home, but the sun is out for once. Bai is sleeping, don't see Squiggles, falcon ledge MT, Lisa has posted Bob's photos, and Frieda is on her 3 eggs. She sure looks a whole lot better than she did yesterday, rain must have stopped. Note on the site said she had 3 eggs, but don't know when #3 was laid, I'm guessing maybe yesterday? You guys probably already know that anyway, I'll go back and read the blogs.
All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Bai just left her den, so Squiggles is alone. Somebody wake up the cam operator!!! He's not even looking for Squiggles, so can't see her/him.
Well, dang, Bai just came back and is gonna nurse Squiggles, and the cam never moved! Darn cam operator is still asleep!
Bai and Squiggles are sleeping, and Squiggles is o the ground, you can see her/him clearly. Too cute.
Finny just arrived!
GOOD MORNING SUZ--
Don't you just wish you could get a report on what the police were doing searching those vehicles and what they found? I often see scenes like that when we travel and of course, by the time the newspaper comes out in that area to tell what was going on, we are in another state.
Squiggles is squiggling and trying to move...oh, she is moving. Bai moved her arm, could see Squiggles, now Bai hugged her and picked her up...more hugs. She's holding her in her paws giving her kisses it looks like, oh this is so cute. Now she has Squiggles between her paws and is washing her, so guess meal time isn't far away. Too cute.
Speaking of the SD cam operator, I had the same view last night when I checked in. I could tell Bai had left the den and Squiggles was in the middle of the floor just having a fit. Going around in circles and I'm sure he was hollering his head off. The camera man must have been asleep because it was dark and the scene was far away.
Morning, Wanda. Yes, love to know what they're looking for! Think Norma said they were probably looking for drugs! That's as good as anything. But I never know, don't get the papers from down here, so who knows? Wierd!
Are you watching Bai and Squiggles? Too cute right now. And Finny's home looking all beautiful!
Yeah, Wanda, I was talking to the screen this morning telling the guy to wake up! Didn't do me any good, though. And it is totally dark in there, there is only an infrared light for the cam, that's what gives us the light we see. She's holding Squiggles between her paws. Wish the guy would wake up! He coud zoom! Oh, see, nursing time and the cam isn't moving!
I think I got wax? Tell me about it JO---
GOOD EAGLE MORNING TO SUZANNE AND ALL OF YOU FINE FEATHERED FRIENDS UT THERE.!!!!
Not to change the subject, Suz, but do you know what WAX is. I was told by others, Jo would tell me when she got well.
