Robyn said...

Suz, did you see they fixed the Bonaire cam?

Suzanne said...

Yes, ma'am, I saw that! Cool to see the fish again.

Suzanne said...

Bai just left again, Squiggles alone.

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning
Just signed on - went through emails
I need to pop up Anne's ship before I start to blog...

Hi Suz and Robyn
Need to go over to previous thread

Suzanne said...

OMG, look at all the bamboo Bai brought back in!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jo! Bai just brought a bunch of bamboo in the den with her, but now she's gonna nurse Squiggles.

Mema Jo said...

Water looks so calm at her ship
Tomorrow am she should dock at Ketchikan.

Robyn said...

Good morning Jo :)

paula eagleholic said...

MOrning, Jo, Suz and Robyn.

Jo, you have mail!

Suzanne said...

Bai's flipping Squiggles again. Cam is zooming.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Paula!

Robyn said...

Looks like a lazy day, overcast, warm. I can't wait for sweater weather, fall is almost upon us

normabyrd said...

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Norma, sounds like a great weekend.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Norma. Sounds like you've been busy! Welcome back, we missed you!

normabyrd said...

HELLO MEMA JO & PAULA!!---I bet ANNE-MARIE is having a "BALL"---can't wait to hear all about her adventures!!!----MUST CHECK ON TAI & SQUIGGLES!!----

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like a pretty morning for Anne, sun is rising

Dawn Princess Bridge cam

normabyrd said...

The "OLE DAYS" may have been GREAT------But this old house didn't have "AIR"----It was more than WARM in my colonial dress!!---WOW!--IT WAS HOT!!!!

Suzanne said...

Cool, Paula. Looks like a beautiful day! I presume that's Anne's ship?

normabyrd said...

COOL SHOT OF ANNE-MARIE'S sky line!!!!---Thanks PAULA!!

glo said...

Thanks fo rthe new thread Steve

Yes to be honest with you even though learning and touring Istanbul and other ports of call is fun an dinteresting I would much rather be heading for Ketchican myself. One of these days I am going to do that if I can possibly work it out!!!

Next cruise in Eagle Cam chat will be Wed or Thurs night at 8 pm Eastern time. I am aiming for Wed if I can get it done, so much to share with all of you who want to know.

I am sorry you can't see the cams Suzanne That would drive me nuts faster than I am heading that way on my own LOL.

Iris will be boarding her ship on the Bosphorus at 3 pm Sept 14. Right now she is touring and enjoying Istanbul. They are 5 hours ahead of us timewise. So it will be like 10 am your time. That will be fun to try to watch if we remember and can catch it.

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Glo. Yeah, would have been nice to see Turkey again without actually being there! That is one VERY long flight!

paula eagleholic said...

Maine nest is back on!

glo said...

Too funny I am no longer spending my day up a tree. I am now on two ships at the same time and watching Istanbul. Who'd have thought that Lib and Belle would branch us out this way.

Of course I do have plenty of room for a nest in the Sycamore tree and in fact like many of you, I do check frequently just in case

normabyrd said...

The "LITTLE PRINCE" is asleep on his grate!!!----I can't see SQUIGGLES-----only BAI'S back side!!!---

Going to read yesterday's blog!!!----

movin said...

MORNING, EVERYBODY...SUZANNE, ROBYN, MEMA JO, PAULA, AND OUR RETURNING PRODIGAL, NORMABYRD...IN FACT, GOOD MORNING TO ALL OUR EAGLE LOVERS.

I am up early, but as yet I have not determined why.

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, Jim. Got your coffee yet?

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jim, sounds like coffee time for you!
Norma, Squiggles is under Bai's chin, between the white on her face, and the black of her arm. Bai tried to cover both of them with all the bamboo she brought in a few minutes ago. If you look closely, that "shadow" moves...

Mema Jo said...

FULL HOUSE !

NORMABYRD - So happy happy to have you here! Too many days you have been gone! We all thought for sure you had gotten into Anne's suitcase!
Jim I almost was ready to pick up the phone! lol

Suzanne said...

Where's Mits? Is she MIA today?

Mema Jo said...

The sunrise at Anne's boat is just breathtaking!

Mema Jo said...

We also need to track down Megan!!!

Suzanne said...

Look, Bai is covering Squiggles with the bamboo! Never mind, she just picked the cub up to nurse.

Costume Lady said...

NORMA--
It is good to have you back. I forgot that you were hostessing. You did tell us. We worried for naught.

PAULA, Thanks for the link to Anne-Marie's ship. I lost mine somewhere in the shuffle.

GOOD MORNING JO--
Did you get Sea-Sick last night?

Suzanne said...

Jo, maybe they both got together and went back to the beach! Beautiful day for it!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING ROBYN, JIM AND GLO
We have a good morning crew on here.

Suzanne said...

Did you see that? Bai laid Squiggles down then left, and she/he wiggled around and flipped over just like a pro! How cute was that! Now she's trying to scoot...

Mema Jo said...

I am hoping that there is another CUB EXAM this week sometime and that the VETS let us know about our little one's gender.

Suzanne said...

I'm with ya, Jo. Bai kind of tried to show us this morning when she was flipping Squiggles, but I sure couldn't tell!

Mema Jo said...

The sites last evening from the cruise and the landmarks in Istanbul were something I could only hope to see with the help of technology!
It was really educational and so very enjoyable. Traveling with such a happy group as we had was wonderful!
Almost like riding in the Eagle Express! lol

normabyrd said...

HEY KIDS!!---I left a message THURS. that I wouldn't be back until MON.---but remember that was the day we were all EXCITED about the new cam & we had a "ZILLION" threads!!----I missed you folks too!!----I have been attempting to read the blogs!!--
WOW!---you KIDS can "CHAT"---ho!---(that's a good thing)!!!!---I DIDN'T GET TO SEE THE WVU game--played at 11:00 a.m.----We should have played better & won by more points!!!!! GO------EEEEEEEEEERS!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' WANDA & JIM!!!----I just read that SHARON'S brother died!!-----I am so SORRY---SHARON---W/keep you & your family in my prayers!!!
How's the 'COLLEGE BOY' doing---Will certainly keep him in my thoughts!!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Suzanne, Wanda, Norma, Jo, Paula,Glo, Robyn, Jim and lurkers/readers and anyone I missed.

Wow last night was a treat: sit in your chair and go to Instanbul. Oh my what a joy to tour with such a great captian ty Glo.

Alot of wonderful people was on the cruise last night. Just like the good old days of NCTC nest watching. lol

Mema Jo said...

I may have made an error by saying that Anne's ship should reach Ketchikan tomorrow - It may be Sitka, AK. The cam will tell us for sure...... Princess Dawn

http://www.kroooz-cams.com/

http://www.cruise-addicts.com/

http://www.princess.com/find/index.jsp

3 sites for your tracking - they should also have the Port cams

Mema Jo said...

I did miss your remark, Norma.
BAD MEMA JO!!!
I couldn't calm down everyone's concerns about you because of that. Jim asked me last night to FIND HER!

Hi Dana
I hope Nilla's throat is better then it was last evening......

paula eagleholic said...

Jo, Anne should be reaching Victoria, BC at noon today...

paula eagleholic said...

Hi Dana! How are ya?

Norma - I totally missed your comment in all the excitement about the new cam, too.

Suzanne said...

OMG, Bai is returning, and look at the forest she's bringing with her! Lots and lots of bamboo!!

Suzanne said...

This is too funny! She's trying to bury squiggles in the bamboo!

wvgal_dana said...

So Anne's is the Princess Dawn and Iris's is Norwegian Jewel ???

wvgal_dana said...

I too Mema Jo hope Nilla is feeling better.

Don't want anyone on the next cruise to be sick. wink

Suzanne said...

Morning, Dana!

Jill said...

Norma-I tried to calm them down. Said you might have gone to Huntington to the game. Hey it was worth a try. LOL

Hello Everyone. If anybody sees Nilla tell her to check her email there is something important there.

wvgal_dana said...

I was checking out the Ports but don't know which ports their ships will go to.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Jill

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jill. Didn't see you this morning, you must have been able to get some sleep last night!

Costume Lady said...

NIIIIIILLLLLAAAAAA-------
YOU
GOT
MAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


How's that Jill?

Costume Lady said...

DANA--
We forgot to got to the Midnight Buffet on the ship last night.
We'll have to remember that on Wed.

wvgal_dana said...

Ok Wanda meet you at the buffet...but I have to tell you each time they showed food "I grabbed some". Didn't you see those people in line with their plates look back. Like "I know I just put that on my plate where did it go"? hee hee

Costume Lady said...

Think Bai wants Squiggles to start eating Bamboo? She brings it in often. Mabybe it is her Midnight Buffet.

Costume Lady said...

DANA--Next time, grab me a Lobster.

Costume Lady said...

Have to get some work done.
BBL

MITS said...

GOOD MONDAY A.M. EVERYONE Hope you all have a good week:).

glo said...

Remember Sharon's Candles...lets keep some lit for her all this week. She has such a difficult road to travel right now. The candles stay lit for 48 hours. I am saving each candle for her as best I can find them as they are lit. The sight scatters them around so it can be a little challenging. I just think she may want them in the future as something tangible from her Feathered Friends.

Sharon's Candles

MITS said...

I sent my candle directly to her.

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Mits are you at the Ocean?

Glo I looked this morning some of the candles are burning alittle low but not ready to go out yet.

Hope those that lit a candle for Sharon goes back in and re-lites so it won't go out.

MITS said...

Hello Dana, I'm home in Bethesda now, and I don't think I will get a chance to go back for awhile.

MITS said...

sleepy time at the NZ

MITS said...

Suzanne, people ask why the pandas breathe so hard....answer....they just do, they have really heavy fur.

wvgal_dana said...

Poor Genie just tried after working for 3 days on the Power Point of General. She has sent it but it won't open something is wrong....hugs to poor Genie

Suzanne said...

Bai is rolling the Squiggles around again!
Thanks, Mits, and good morning. She was huffing this morning, but then after she laid down, she calmed down. Guess maybe she was doing the roll the squiggles and wore herself out for a minute.

Suzanne said...

Phew, I was just outside, and they're laying mulch, and man is it RIPE! Ugh, thought for a sec I was back home with the honey wagons!

wvgal_dana said...

I thought they would have a video on of Mei Lan's Birthday. No pics other than were they talked about her birthday.

Mema Jo said...

The Atlanta site could do MUCH better with photos, Dana. I am disappointed also. Maybe I will check out that
AJC sight ..I thnk it has some...

http://www.ajc.com/living/content/
shared-blogs/ajc/pandas/index.html

Get it all on a one liner......
Yes - good videos and articles up to date......

Suzanne said...

Bai checking outside her den. Wonder if she's getting more bamboo delivered, so she can bring more into the den with her. She's watching something.

Mema Jo said...

Sent an email out with link for AJC

Good videos! Finally get to see the b-day cake! At least the people's one.

Suzanne said...

Time for me to hit the road. Have a dentist appt this afternoon, oh joy! But just a cleaning and checkup, I can handle it.
All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

wvgal_dana said...

Later Suzanne (smile)

wvgal_dana said...

The ajc link was much better your right Jo.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks at Anne's ship, you can see land now...time for the port cam...

Victoria BC webcam

Mema Jo said...


Here's where Anne Is...

glo said...

OK so are we taking pictures? Need to find someone in a red dress.

Mema Jo said...

LOL Paula!

Hope everyone looks for Anne!

Mema Jo said...

She best have on her eagle t-shirt and sneakers~~~~ :)

wvgal_dana said...

That takes me to a different ship she is on the Dawn Princess Jo

Mema Jo said...

The winds are calm and it should be around 57 degrees......... If I am reading it correctly.... Can't really find the port cam for Victoria BC

Anyone else find it on any of the 3 sites...???

This is so exciting.......

I just might have to take a cruise!
To play Hide & Seek with all of you

Mema Jo said...

We're getting closer to our port!!!!

glo said...

Oh I see saving that Red Dress for other things. OK well its exciting watching her ship come in. Well I think I might be watching her ship come in anyways. I am gonna be on one of those ships someday heading right for there.

paula eagleholic said...

Jo, I have a link above for Victoria...

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, she is almost docked

Costume Lady said...

Mema Jo said...

Costume Lady said...

I think I see NILLA-MINNIE on the dock.

Mema Jo said...

OK! Gotcha!

She is going to have lunch in Victoria!

I usually do get turned around in the wrong direction!!! Even when driving!

MITS said...

Current time in BC, Canada is 9:30a.m.

Mema Jo said...

Red dress should be for the Captain's Table!!

Mema Jo said...

So maybe she is hungry and will have a Brunch!

wvgal_dana said...

I want to see Eagles in Alaska

MITS said...

PAULA This is a brief stop in BC, they will leave later today, be at sea tomorrow and Sitka on Wednesday...correct????

Mema Jo said...

MAN OH MAN

What is that RED splotch on the dock?

Mema Jo said...

MITS That would explain the itinerary Paula and I have! Thanks!

wvgal_dana said...

I checked it out it's not where Annie slipped and fell in her red dress. It's just a reflection of something.

MITS said...

Currently 65° at Victoria,BC, high of 77° today

Mema Jo said...

Mits - are you getting info from the Kroooze cams or the Cruise Addict or just from the Princess Cruise???

I need to get ready to leave - getting the 6wk CT - Pray me Well!

Costume Lady said...

Join hands, Ladies and say a prayer for JO.....

MITS said...

just googling for some info, Jo...Good luck on the CT.

Mema Jo said...

Wanda - you are too special!
((((( hugs )))))

Costume Lady said...

I would guess those are Tour Buses on the dock.

paula eagleholic said...

Jo, I sent Mits that itinerary, too.

paula eagleholic said...

She leaves there at 7pm tonight

Mema Jo said...

I'LL BE BACK AROUND 4:00.........

MITS said...

Yep, following the itinerary.

MITS said...

cam must be off when they are docked, time is running but same cam pic for last half hour or so

paula eagleholic said...

I think it did finally update, Mits.

paula eagleholic said...

It's updating now, another bus just pulled in closer to the ship

MITS said...

Been watching the same bus pic for awhile now, guess I better shut it down and try again

MITS said...

ok, different pic now

MITS said...

mei and tian are playing.

MITS said...

tai is eating a fruit-cycle

MITS said...

panda wrestling going on

MITS said...

he wants to play, she wants to fight.

MITS said...

can't see them, but hear the eagles up in Maine

Jill said...

Some kind of bird at BW. Think is is a heron but his head is cut off in the picture.

MITS said...

don't see it, Jill

MITS said...

yikes there it is....

MITS said...

sent a pic to Lisa, to verify.

Mema Jo said...

What is in the nest platform at Blackwater The legs look like Heron's legs


Just got back from running ......

Jill said...

I think it is a headless blue heron. Don't know of anything else that looks like that. Hard to identify without a head.

Mema Jo said...

Hi Jill and Mits

To me looks like a heron's legs but it sure is a short heron.....
I also sent a pic to Lisa before I read the comments you both made.
MTBR

Mema Jo said...

Jill - Will you go to Nationals with Cody? When are they held?

Jill said...

WE won't go. They are in Zachary Louisianna. I can't make any plans right now because of work. And it is a long expensive trip to watch him for 45 seconds.

MITS said...

got to be a blue heron????

Mema Jo said...

Here's looking at you!

At least he's showing us his beak

Mema Jo said...

I hear you Jill....... At least he
has had the honors!

MITS said...

got an itch...

MITS said...

good view now

MITS said...

all gone at BW

Costume Lady said...

JO--
I guess it is too soon to know any results of your CT?

Mema Jo said...

I have the film - I wouldn't know what to look for... I would probably look at the wrong lung........ lol
My DR appointments are Mon 17th and then another one on Wed 19th. Surgeon then the Pulmonary.....
Who says Patience is a virtue......

Mema Jo said...

I am glad I have these 2 gals' trips to keep me interested..... Just might need to plan a cruise... They really are fascinating me.

paula eagleholic said...

Missed the heron...will look for your pictures in the next gallery update! See ya later, heading home!

Lisa said...

Hi all,

Yes, it was a Great blue heron.

MITS said...

THANK YOU, LISA:)

Mema Jo said...

Thanks, Lisa....


Dinner time here........ BBL

wvgal_dana said...

Jo putting CT scan you got in God's hands.

Just got in again for today. Been at drs myself. Everything ok from this type of dr.

Boy I am missing cams to see Iris and Anne.

I didn't see blue heron either since I wasn't here.

Yes do remember to click on the candles for Sharon. I checked mine this morning was ok. I checked just awhile ago and it was burnt out. I relit one.

bobbi said...

Jo,you can see the cam on cruise-addicts. com for anne marie. Sure wish I was there. We flew up to fairbanks and came down on the midnight express train to denali stayed over then on to anchorage overnight then on to girwood overnight. From there we went to seward and a cruise on the Kenai fjords before boarding ship home. Would love to go back again. Such great memories. I think maybe anne will be stopping different then what I said. Coming back we stopped at sitka, juneau and ketchikan but think she will stop first at ketchikan. Wish I could have fit in her suitcase.

wvgal_dana said...

bobbi you and alot of us I think would have liked to have fit in her suitcase hee hee

bobbi said...

Dana, think it't time for us to take a trip. Anymore cams we can go to. lol

bobbi said...

Wow, just had a big lightening strike here. Catch you all later. bye

Mema Jo said...

Stay safe, Bobbi!

Hi Dana - Our dinner is done!
Dana, you did get my email last night of the Princess Cruise cams - right?
We are still docked - I see movement every now and then of the vehicles there on the dock. I think around 7:00 the ship departs and heads for Sitka.

Mema Jo said...

Need to leave for an hour CVS

wvgal_dana said...

http://www.earthcam.com/usa/alaska/ketchikan/

all on one line is this webcam where I think Anne is

ketchikan is how bobbi spelt it since she was there

wvgal_dana said...

A water taxi leaving ship with lots of people onboard.

There is a place on the webcam to enlarge the picture really neat..

Mema Jo said...

Hi Dana - Paula had Anne's schedule..
She should still be in Victoria BC
Then out to sea for a day headed for SITKA, AK
When she does get to Ketchikan the last day before headed home - the sight you just found will be good....

Mema Jo said...

I just decided that Anne is ahead of us by 4 hours....... It is the 11th there now - and it is 8 secs past midnight======== so why isn't it dark up there in British Columbia

DUH>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ????

I am sure someone will explain this to me...........

wvgal_dana said...

Oh ok Jo that site is really neat....I love watching it. Alot of activity.

Boy I wished I could get a webcam for eagles at Sitka, AL. wouldn't that be neat..

wvgal_dana said...

well I see you all tomorrow hopefully take care

Mema Jo said...

May have found one

Check out http://www.sitka.net/livewebcam.shtml

I'll do the same...don't know exactly what it will show us yet......

Mema Jo said...

I guess the only thing it may show is the Princess Dawn arriving...

Mema Jo said...

Jill Look what they have up in
Sitka, AK

http://www.cityofsitka.com/



Dana - Sitka is a beautiful place.
The web site with the cam - just click on the icons at the bottom to see more about the city. Have not yet found the eagles.........

Mema Jo said...

CU DANA

MITS said...

CURRENT TIME IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA IS 6:11 P.M....WHEN ANNE GETS TO SITKA, SHE WILL BE 4 HOURS BEHIND US.

MITS said...

Anne's ship should be leaving around 10 our time, will be at sea tomorrow, and Sitka on Wednesday.

Mema Jo said...

weather in Sitka looks like there is going to be a SUNNY day for Anne when she is there......unless I am a day behind the forecast. I did Wed

Mema Jo said...

How was everything at the Zoo...?

MITS said...

very good...had an interesting talk on the giant salamander, and we had chinese food for dinner...yummy.

MITS said...

it was good she wasn't there today, one of the sites said it was poor weather for tourists, but Wed does look good

Mema Jo said...

Getting a few rain drops up here in the valley.....

Jill said...

Jo-What the heck was that skatepark made from? ICE? Was awful shiny.

It is light in Alaska for the same reason it was light in Finland all the time a couple weeks ago. During parts of the year they have sun for 24 hours. Others times darkness.

MITS said...

had a few raindrops on my windshield coming home, but it is still 87°here.

Costume Lady said...

It is raining here in Martinsburg/Shepherdstown. How about your area Jill?
Did you find Nilla?

Mema Jo said...

Hi Jill - cool skate park!

Just talked briefly with Sharon.
Viewing went well.... Told her I
would try to touch base tomorrow eve.
She will be going back to work on Wed. Express all of our prayers being with her and the family.

I had best go look at my candle before it goes out........ BRB

Mema Jo said...

My candle is still burning brightly.

paula eagleholic said...

KewL - check out Anne's boat shadow. They should be leaving shortly.

Mema Jo said...

Hi Wanda........

MITS said...

too bad there is no audio on the ship's site, would love to hear it leaving.

Mema Jo said...

If a bus pulls up with everyone, we still can't see them getting off and boarding the ship - unless Anne runs out in the middle of the parking lot
lol

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, I was just thinking the same thing, Mits. Would like to hear the ships horn!

Costume Lady said...

Anne-Marie is so full of excitment, she probably won't be able to sleep tonight.

paula eagleholic said...

They best have their butts already on the boat...

Costume Lady said...

JO--we should have told her to do that!

MITS said...

LOL....The Capt. waits for no one...

MITS said...

unless she has her red dress on.

paula eagleholic said...

She'll probably be so tired at the end of each day she will sleep good :)

MITS said...

HHHHOOOONNNKKK!, Use your imagination.

MITS said...

I bet she is dancing til 3...

MITS said...

wonder how many people are aboard?

Mema Jo said...

I guess we are all staring at the mast - looking for it to start moving as the ship pulls out.....
Guess we are all going to JUMP
when it does........

Mema Jo said...

1,950 passengers so it says!
900 crew members

MITS said...

nice size ship

Mema Jo said...

WHOO HOO! I think it may be moving
I see more of the mast

Mema Jo said...

Position At Sea
Bound for Sitka, AK

That's the headline now

MITS said...

yep, right on time, moving away from dock
