Bai and Squiggles look almost human. I love watching this.

Suzanne said...

MORNIN' PAULA----Where is our PRINCESS ANNE this a.m.---Have you all found her ship????

MITS said...

GOOD FRIDAY A.M. EVERYONE...HAVE A NICE WEEKEND Annes' ship is still in darkness on its way to Glacier Bay.

MITS said...

Hello SHARON

Costume Lady said...

NORMA--
The Capt. waited on you to join him for the game and a pitcher of Eagle Talons. You didn't show up, so I joined him with Iced Tea and Pringles. No Talons for me that late.

Suzanne said...

Uh oh, I didn't say good morning.

Good morning, Jill, Norma, Paula, and Wanda again.

Bai is adorable with Squiggles. She hugs her and loves on her while she's nursing. Awesome.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING MITS AND SHARON---
Sharon, are you a WVU fan?

Suzanne said...

Geesh, Good morning, Mits. Didn't see you come in.
Check out our SD ladies! Way too cute.

Costume Lady said...

JOOOOOO---
Time to wake up!!!
You were up really late last night.
I told the Capt.that if you felt good enough to stay up that late, then you must be well on the road to recovery.

Suzanne said...

My SD cam is going really slow, and can't get the pics I'm seeing on the cam. Pics are several seconds past. Anybody else having that problem?

normabyrd said...

WHOA!!!-----Little SQUIGGLES is attempting to wiggle out of BAI'S arms----She is not only ADORABLE!!!----She is strong!!!!---Also has a voice of her own!!!!!

MITS said...

osprey at BW

MITS said...

SUZANNE---Mine has been slow moving too!!!----I always assume it's me---not the computer!!! ho!---I just can't quit watching her---She is a "LOVE BUG"---Loves BAI--but thinks---enough is enough---Now I want to ROAM!!!! ho!

normabyrd said...

WANDA----I thought about joining you folks for the pitcher of EAGLE TALONS---But I was ALREADY HIGH!!--ho!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning all my Eagle Buddies I was so hoping the date & time were correct on our cam this moring BUT! Thanks for the new thread--we certainly have been adding up the daily comments..looking good!

Suzanne said...

LOL, Norma, she sure is a little Love Bug! Adorable to watch.

Mits, that's a good sign this time of the blue screen! Means they're working on it, and they don't have the closed for the season message up anymore. Well darn, I just checked and I still have the disabled for the season message.

Hey, Jo, join me for a late lunch today! Been busy, haven't had time to do lunch till now.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jo! Ready for lunch?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am a WVU fan. Concord has only had 1 home game last Saturday and I went to see Andrew and left after half time was over. It was great. I love my kid!

MITS said...

That's great, Sharon. Nice to know you can still see him playing.

MITS said...

osprey gone at BW

MITS said...

looks like no cam operator on duty at NZ...cam not moving. I would really like to be trained on the cam...the other day the relief did not show up for the cam operator, and, if I had training I could have relieved her.

MITS said...

ok it is working now.

Costume Lady said...

SHARON--
How far away is Andrew?

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING--
See you finally got up. Did you hear me calling you?

MITS said...

Dawn is starting to beak at Anne's ship

Costume Lady said...

That message was to JO.....

normabyrd said...

I think the "LITTLE PRINCE" is asleep inside----He had his eyes covered with his arm---I guess the light hurts his eyes!!!------Who ever it is---He is a ADORABLE!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Cool - you can see land now from Anne's ship

MITS said...

They are all adorable, and I love them, but, the sloth bears have accessed a special place in my heart, they have wonderful personalities, and love to have eye-contact with visitors

Suzanne said...

Morning, Sharon. Nice to see you on here.

Capt. Eagle said...

Good Morning ladies. My Tiger tells me that the baby panda is a girl. Now that we know that it is a girl, another good nickname would be BG (Baby Girl).
Norma....missed you at the game.
Go, eeeeers.

Happy Viewing.....

Mema Jo said...

I must have heard you, Wanda - I popped right up on cue!
What did you eat, Suzanne? I still have my coffee!
Mits Saw another otter this am
DAWN HAS BROKEN ON PRINCESS DAWN I wonder what we will be sighting on this Scenic cruise through Glacier Bay Nat'l Park?

paula eagleholic said...

How about Chubette?

Suzanne said...

Good morning, Capt Eagle. Guess you EEEERS beat us TERPS yesterday. Didn't watch, WAAAAY past my bedtime!

Mema Jo said...

BOBBI Come on in and let us know if we should be able to see any whales or will it just be the glaciers as we head to Ketchikan?

MITS said...

Jo, I got to see the new girls the other day, and they are sooooo cute..........I love CHUBETTE, she is a chunky one.

Mema Jo said...

You know the name of ButaButa has been and will always be what we call our little gal in Atlanta.

Sooooooooooo, why would we rename our little gal from SD from Squiggles?

Mema Jo said...

Mits, I bet they look just like the pic on the home page! They have such pretty faces.

paula eagleholic said...

Found some pics of glacier bay last night. Really pretty place.

Mema Jo said...

Anne is on the last lap of her cruise. Glaciers today & Ketchikan AK tomorrow. Then it's 2 days on the sea until she docks at San Francisco. I guess those 2 days will be ship party days!

Costume Lady said...

The last day of a Cruise is very sad. It was hard for me to enjoy it because I knew the fun was over.

Mema Jo said...

Suzanne said...

Squiggles was alone, but mom came back and I guess it's time to eat again!
I'm with ya Jo, I like Squiggles and when she gets bit bigger, Scooter when she starts scooting all over the place like she did the other day. But I like Squiggles/Scooter. She's a cutie whatever we name her.

Costume Lady said...

You'll have to forgive the Capt. for trying to change Squiggles name. He has his own name for everyone. For instance, he calls me Tiger. Anyone he doesn't know, he calls "George"

Costume Lady said...

We once had a customer and Gene called him George and that was really his name.

Costume Lady said...

Our Granddaughter brought her boyfriend here for us to meet and his name was George. So Funny....

paula eagleholic said...

Speaking of George, anyone seen him in the Kent nest lately?

normabyrd said...

JO---I am truly lost today----Who are you all naming chubette?---I AGREE---I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD CHANGE SQUIGGLES---we still use BUTA BUTA---just my thought----GUESS I have been into my ball games too much!!!-ho!

Suzanne said...

Too funny, Wanda. I had a cat in Turkey, was sitting at a pub outside and this cute little cat curled up in the chair next to me. I called it George, just looked like a George. Turns out it was a Georgette, but by then she stayed George!

MITS said...

No George sightings as far as I know, but it is going to be fun watching them do the nestoration on that nest, they have alot of work ahead of them.

movin said...

GOOD FFRIDAY MORNING, EAGLE BUDDIES...

This is the first A.M. I had to shut everything and turn the heat on for a couple of minutes...61° in So Cal, rising to a beautiful, sunny 80°.

Enjoy your Friday,

Jim

Mema Jo said...

Norma You're not lost - you're right in there! Squiggles it is!

Mema Jo said...

Jim took a pic of George's SON - didn't George get done in earlier in the season?

Mema Jo said...

Glad you got to CHILL OUT, Jim!

paula eagleholic said...

Jim - Sorry, but I am laughing at heat on for 61°

:):)

paula eagleholic said...

OSPREY AT BW

paula eagleholic said...

CRAP I MEANT EAGLE!!

Suzanne said...

Good one, Jo. I was thinking the same thing...I have my windows open at 61°. Don't like it about 2 in the AM, but when I'm home I do!
Morning, Jim, at least you got some sleep! But have to tell ya, missed my African safaris lately!

MITS said...

Boy 61°'s here with a touch of humidity, and my AC is on.

Mema Jo said...

Missed the Eagle at BW

I'll be back in a little while...

MITS said...

Beautiful pic from Anne's ship.

Suzanne said...

Bai is giving us a good shot of her girlhood!

movin said...

Yeah, I have to agree with you about the temp, but it felt colder than a cruise in an ice pack when my feet hit the floor this morning. So..... Read the weather report later.

Suzanne, Paula, you didn't miss the Safari report last night... didn't you read about the croc??

Morning, Mits, Wanda, Robyn, Norma, Mema Jo, Jill...

How's everybody this morning?

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Eeeewwwiiieee!!

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, I read that Jim. How cool.

paula eagleholic said...

Got a good shot of the ewiees truly bald head

Suzanne said...

I read that, Jim.

That is a juvie ewwwiiieee. They're even uglier than the parents, their heads haven't turned red yet...

Squiggles closeup being held and washed by mom.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL.

Suzanne said...

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---I just read about names we give our pets!!!----WE HAD A beautiful beagle---(husband named her SUSIE)----Kids & I named her FRED---She would only answer to FRED!!!----ho!!----Another female--CALHOUN & the last female beagle--we named her ULYSSES!!!---those were the good times----ho!

movin said...

Can't agree with Suzanne on the ugliness factor...to me older buzzards and condors are amongst the ugliest on Earth.

Jim

movin said...

Good news is, buzzards and condors are both beautiful in flight, so if you can resist getting too close, the ugly problem disappears.

Jim

Suzanne said...

Squiggles alone...

Suzanne said...

Jim, you're saying the same thing as I am! PAULA thought he was cute!!! NOT THIS KID!

normabyrd said...

PAULA & SUZANNE----Maybe we should get JIM some "SLIPPERS"----Don't want our friend to freeze his "tootsie"!!!------KIDDIN'---I hope ANNE-MARIE has take a warm coat----Of course she has a "RED DRESS" to keep her warm!!!---She must give us a pic of "ANNE IN RED"!!!----Isn't she FUN!!!

MITS said...

Suzanne said...

Squiggles is alone, and I swear she is looking at the door! She's looking toward the light, anyway. That's where my mommie went....

MITS said...

Jo, are you looking at the EARTHCAM cam for Ketchikan?

MITS said...

Tai is up a tree.

Suzanne said...

Look at Squiggles. She hasn't moved from watching that door! Looks like her head is up, don't think she's sleeping, but she may be.

Suzanne said...

Oh Yahoo news, OJ Simpson named suspect in casino break-in. Keep it up, idiot, you'll end up in jail yet!
Time for me to hit the road. Didn't realize it was this late.
All have a great weekend.
Enjoy the cruises to Alaska and Turkey!
Take pics of Squiggles for me.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Mema Jo said...

MITS said...

Have a good one, Suz.

Mema Jo said...

Darn, Norma! He is out of the tree.
Missed him. But he's going out again in the yard - maybe he will go back up in the tree since he couldn't get inside.......

Mema Jo said...

WHOO HOO

MITS said...

Jo, I just go to earthcam .com just clicked on your site and got Juneau.

Mema Jo said...

MITS I am getting the message that
Earth cam is loading live images now

Not sure what that means........
It is showing across the screen of my Krooooz cam

MITS said...

Mema Jo said...

You get Juneau on my link - then you click on what ever port you wish to see.........

MITS said...

Mema Jo said...

Mema Jo said...

Just put up your link, Mits. It is the same cam view as what the other port sights have. But the earth camhas weather and other features right there. I like it...thanx.

Mema Jo said...

I am going into the kitchen Preparing foods for reunion picnic

I'll keep peeping in... Holler if you need me! lol

MITS said...

okie-dokie, Jo

MITS said...

Mei and Tian are playing.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

My, my! Busy blog today. I am trying to work and peeking in sometimes. Hard to keep my mind where it needs to be but it will be alright one day. I have faith!

Jim, Mommy had the heat on 90 last month when it was about 65 outside one morning. This house was cooking!

paula eagleholic said...

Mits - Is the zoo thinking this time together, Mei and Tian, might help come mating time? I know they are thinking of not trying it with those two next year.

Costume Lady said...

My Mom too SHARON. She has a gas fireplace and takes the chill off each morning even when it is 70 outside. She is getting up in years and feels the cold temps. more so than we do.

MITS said...

Paula, it is normal for them to be together, have been since they were 2, the only time they spend apart is when she had Tai are was going thru her false pregnancy....the jury is still out about next years mating, they were together after shye was inseminated this year. Its not that they don't want them to mate, but Tians' gene-pool is ok...they want to get more gene-pools out there.

paula eagleholic said...

That's right, I read that on the blog from your friends site. That's why they inseminated Mei with Gao Gao's sperm - because his gene pool is from the wild.

paula eagleholic said...

Panda having fun with the rolly thingy....BBL

Lisa said...

Speaking of Tian Tian, about a year ago, the National Zoo mentioned that he had a less than impressive sperm test, and they were getting a sample from Gao Gao just in case.

That made me wonder if using Gao Gao this year also had something to do with that.

New thread:) with cam info!

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like ice in the water at Glacier Bay

bobbi said...

Hi Jo, Just read the blogs and saw your question about glacier bay. That is really something to see. First you have icebergs floating around the boat. Not big but you can see down in the water how deep they go. They are white on top of water and a beautiful blue underneath. When you get to the glacier ship drops anchor for quite awhile. You are pretty close and get to hear and see the glacier calving into the water and hear the sounds it makes.The glacier not all white but a pretty blue green color. It is so quiet and still and then all of a sudden the the calving starts and the sound is loud and if you look carefully you can see when the next one will begin and watch it happen. Anne will love this. Hope she takes lots of pictures I have so many of this area
