NO EAGLES YET THIS MORNING.
For two mornings in a row, B & L showed up at 6:45, but not this morning. They are off schedule; maybe having breakfast.
The Capt. is up and COFFEE is ready. BBL
Thanks for the new thread, Steven. Beautiful pic this morning, but our kids were no shows!
Thanks for the heads up, Wanda. Tell Capt Eagle good morning!
GOOD MONDAY MORNING EVERYONE! HAVE A GOOD WEEK!
Thanks Steve, and good morning Wanda Suzanne and Mits. I never thought I would be so happy to see an MT nest, but it is beautiful to me this morning. have a blessed one, dear friends, and hello to Captain too.
Hello, Donna, have a good week:).
Good morning everybody. Been watching for Liberty and Belle this morning but nobody yet. I will keep watching. You just never know when they might show up. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
Morning, Mits and Donna. You gals have a good week too.
Bai and Squiggles are FINALLY on cam. First time I've seen them all day.
Morning, Sharon. Wanda said they showed up last 2 mornings at 6:45, but didn't see them today. Have a good day.
Good morning all. I feel the possible need for a new camera coming on so I can get some memorable photos for my upcoming trips and eagle season. My choice is currently a better TV or a better camera. I am going camera shopping. Lets see if they sell me something. Suzanne what did you get last year or so? I know you are thinking of maybe a new one but just wanted to know the goods and bad of what you have. Any other cam advice? Things to look at or stay away from....Thanks. Looking at $500 give or take a little. And I just might be taking your picture with it in a couple of weeks. :)
OK off for coffee and dog treats.
Blue skies!
Yep, Sharon, Blue skies...darn!
opps its back....
The moon is shing on the lovely Frieda.
Morning, Glo. I got a Canon PowerShot A530. I love it, but I want a bigger one now, with a large lens that I can really zoom on flying raptors! This is very nice, I carry it with me everywhere (it is in the car as we speak), but I'm ready for a bigger one now. This was not that expensive, think a little over $300, and it's very easy and convenient to use. But I'm thinking I want a bigger one before the open house, just in case Lib and Belle are hanging around. Haven't made up my mind yet.
Good Monday Morning To You
Seems like our Eagle Couple may have gotten stuck in traffic last night as they didn't show and guess they just had to sleep in later then usual!
Beautiful autumn weather we have out there today! My coffee is ready!
MT nest for now - but with you Eagle Buddies all in attendance it makes it worthwhile putting up this daily right after your feet hit the floor in the morning!
Hello everybody:) Is it Friday yet??? I haven't seen any hummers in my garden since Saturday:((
HELLO....MEAGAN AND JO:).
The lovely Frieda is sound asleep.
GOOD MORNIN' EAGLE BUDDIES!!!---What a BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN DAY IN WV--temp. 57°---warmer later in day!!-----WANDA---You are #1 again!!---CONGRATS!!!---HELLO SUZANNE--HELEN----MAULEY--BLUEFIELD SHARON--(how about them MOUNTAINEERS!)---GLO---MEMA JO & MEGAN (only 4 more days)----ho!
HOW ABOUT THEM COWBOYS!!!!!
LIFE IS GOOD!!!!
JO---I understand that BELLE & LIB are on they way to ROMNEY to visit their "country cuzins"!!! (ho)
MOrning, Mauley, Mits, Suz, Wanda, Sharon, Glo, Jo and Floral! Whew, what a mouthful.
Happy Monday!
And last but not least good morning Norma!
BW cam still on the fritz.
OK Thanks Suzanne...gives me someplace to start. Haven't looked at any quality cams ever so off to learn and maybe spend money. hmmmm MTBR
Alright, I'll give it a try...Hello Mits, Jo, Paula, Suzanne, Glo, Wanda, Norma, Mauley and Sharon.
NZ PANDAS are "hanging out"!!---I think the "LITTLE PRINCE" is getting "misted"----(correct me HELEN)----Think that is one of the parents lying across a log!!--They are certainly handsome animal!!---
HELLO PAULA-----How did the GOLF lesson go????----
Yes, Normabyrd, you are correct....that is Mei Xiang snoozing over the log
Morning, Jo, Megan, Norma and Paula. No sightings today so far. Maybe they'll come visit the nest this evening.
It went good, Norma. It was fun!
Norma - what is happening in 4 more days?
Megan - will you make the Link for your Pumpkin Patch on here again?
FULL MOON on the 26th!!
SUZANNE---Have you had a "GOOD PEEK" at the little "LOVE BUG" this morning??---I can't seem to find SQUIGGLES this a.m.---
GOOD MORNING ALL YOU LATE COMERS--
JO, you are so right about bringing up this site soon as you get up in the morning. It is a great feeling to know that with a click of a button, you have friends waiting right there for you. And we have wildlife from all over the world to look at. As NOR MA and you would say: LIFE IS GOOD!
JO---MEGAN asked if it was FRIDAY yet----Told her 4 more days!!!--
Norwegian Jewell - Iris' Ship
Looks as though the bus is waiting on the dock - but I have no clue which dock. Capt sure parked it in there nice and snug - I wouldn't want to drive that size ship.
Be sure to click on the left side for the JEWELL. Hurry up because the bus is leaving soon
Yep, just give me a minute, Jo. I went to Wash. monument in Boonsbore yesterday for a couple of hours, saw lots of hawks, an osprey and we believe 1 immature eagle.The cool thing is if you go this time of the year, there is almost always someone up there doing a hawk migration count, and they know the hawks by sight, so you know exactly what you are looking at. Great way to learn the different hawks. Like having your own personal guide for free, they are usually friendly and willing to share their knowledge.
Anything could happen in the next 4 days:)
Yesterday as I was driving down the drive way----This "ADORABLE" little SQUIRREL, just stood up in the middle of the road & stared me down---Then one more look & the little "squirt" slowly scampered off the road!!!---- (it takes so little to make me happy)---ho!!!
Hey Jo, apples and pumpkins
HELEN---YEP!---something could easily happen--within 4 days---to make you a HAPPY CAMPER!!---I still have my water pot out!!--ho!
Norma, it took hours this morning for Bai and Squiggles to come on cam. Don't know where they were sleeping, but it wasn't in the birthing den! Bai is there now, think Squiggles may be under her left paw, but that den looks different to me.
Squiggles alone and they're zoomed in.
Never mind, Bai now nursing Squiggles.
Can't tell, Suzanne if it is different....someone on the blog asked yesterday if the lights would be brighter, now that her eyes are opening, I watched when Su Lin was this age, and I don't remember the lights getting any brighter in that particular den.
pandas in Atlanta are sleeping outside, bunk-bed style
Thanks for the link Megan - bookmarked it this time!
Hope Robyn comes soon to pick those apples and make our pies!!!
I love Robyn's red rose pic. Jennifer came over yesterday to give me flowers from her gardens.. She had the yellow roses for me! Norma It's the simple things that count like flowers & squirrels! Made my day!
Yesterday----I read several articles about the HAWK/EAGLE v. CAT/DOG discussion!!----CAROL is correct!!---Nothing is BLACK OR WHITE----Each article or person gives a different opinion!!!---Depends how hungry the hawk/eagle is---How big the cat/dog is, etc.--Hawk/eagle can only lift a certain weight cat/dog----Most agree the GOLDEN EAGLE will swoop up several kinds of small animals----I GOOGLED & THERE IS LOTS OF INFO THERE!!!
NORMA--Speaking of the Golden eagle, I saw a video of a hunter using a Golden eagle to hunt and bring down a deer for him. Amazing.
HEY KIDS!!----Isn't our "LADY IN THE RED DRESS" just BEAUTIFUL!!!---I so enjoyed her photos of ALASKA!!!!----LOVED the EAGLE on her arm!!!!----SHE'S COOL!!!!!
Well from what I can tell Iris is docked at Corfu. Next stop in the morning for her will be Katakolon, and hten on to Athens. I am off to the camera shops...well ya know Best Buy etc.
Yes NORMA, Red Dress Lady is lovely and her pics are wonderful. Anxious to see more.
Hey, Glo, have fun! Tell them you want to take pics of a very special eagle couple!!
yes, Norma, she is lovely:).
HELEN---That is par for the course----BUTA BUTA & LUN LUN are always asleep---& continue to sleep most of the day!!!!----I read this a.m. that MEI gets her "goofiness's from DAD--YANG YANG----Her latest trick is to jump up & take a "bite of LUN LUN'S butt"---hangs on until LUN LUN gets away & take out after her---LITTLE BEAUTY loves that part!!!----Appears they have changed the logs some---60 lbs. now!!
NORMA - I wonder what time of the day ButaButa does all that - WE would be certain to tune in!
I scanned yesterday's blog---noticed NILLA referred to the OWLS were doing well-----Do you know where she was referring to seeing them????
She was all over the place - I had just checked out the WildWatchCams and saw MS OWL still staying at the Owl Motel. I don't know of any others.
Oh dear, seem to be some vultures snacking on a carcass on WAVE-LIT AFRICAM.....YUCK.
JO---I read that BUTA does that any time she can find LUN LUN roaming around, eating, etc.---She seems to hold on as long as she can!----She's a LITTLE IMP!--- But I swear we rarely see her awake!!!
tour group taking pic of vultures and carcass
tour group has left.
HELEN----Just read your remark about the vultures eating on WAVE-IT AFRICAM!!!!-----When I was a "TEENAGER" (many moons ago)---We had a saying-----"DON'T KNOCK IT--IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED IT"!!!!---(don't "whack" me too hard--i'm old)
lightly wacking you....Norma!:):)
Thanks Jo-didn't really need a reminder about the full moon. I get to see it and it's affects multiple times while everybody else is asleep. LOL
Megan-how far is Boonsboro from Shep?????? I need something to do while I wait for Joey.
DIVERS BONAIRE!
missed them.
End of the month - going to go check out my bills..... BBL
Mits, by the time that posted, they were gone. But they're down there now, so should be coming back. Don't think they waived, so maybe on the way out...
One still coming down!
See him, Mits?
2 more, front and center!
Taking pics of the coral!
Waiving at us!
Poof, gone, and fish back! Did you see them?
saw them..........
HI JILL-----Did you know that "CRICKETS" bring GOOD LUCK????----I never kill them-----If they are in the middle of the floor, etc.----I will sweep them outside!!!---My kids used to have these brass "cricket boxes"---Don't think they ever left the crickets in them---ho!
funny how after they leave all the fish come out of hiding.
LOL, yeah, Mits. There is still one down there, saw him a sec ago, but he might have been on his way out.
Norma, I catch crickets if they're in the house, and put them outside. Do you know they eat wool? They'll tear up a wool sweater in no time!
I have been watching the SEA OTTERS at MONTEREY BAY----I enjoy that site!!----Just found it Sat.-----
NO SUZANNE!!!----I didn't----THANKS FOR THE INFO----Haven't heard any the past few years---They were around when kids were small----------But didn't know that---Didn't have GOOGLE then!!!!
Jill, it's about 20-25 minutes away. Right outside of Boonsboro, top of South Mtn. on Alt. 40 towards Middletown.
DIVERS AGAIN!
Link didn't work Megan. I will figure it out later. Gotta run.
Bye bye...
Yeah, I know Jill. Don't know why, just search- Washington Monument State Park, Boonsboro, MD
DID anyone watch the KEN BURNS FILM-----THE WAR!!-----It is on Public Television---Think it airs every nite this week----WWII----The film honors & celebrates the bravery, endurance & sacrifice of the generation of Americans who lived through THE WAR!!!
(might premiere at different time in your area)
SUZANNE---SAFE BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY HOME TODAY---HUGS to GYPSY & friends!!!!
Thanks, Norma.
Going to change my last post, sounds funny the way it's posted.
Bye bye... divers all gone now.
GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY. It looks like a beautiful week ahead.
Before I get my coffee, good morning, Suzanne. I wanted to mention that I didn't see "Squiggles" in the den last night, but I had already shut the blog down and wanted to go to bed.
First, Bai started sleeping outside ... I thought to give Squiggles more room. Now Squiggles is outside.
I just had a flash...maybe that's the way Panda's lure the baby out of the den... her eyes and ears are probably opening and getting ready to experience the world.
Jim
Morning, Jim. Yes, they were both out of the den this morning, and stayed out for about the first 3 or 4 hours I was logged on. Missed the little tyke! She's been in the den sleeping for quite a while now, all alone.
Has anyone seen any new eyasses in Brisbane?
Jim
MITS---I never get to see the divers!!!------Is there any particular time better chance to see them?---
Time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Its hit or miss, Norma.
GOOD "NOON" TIME JIM!!!----I guess you haven't changed your biological clock yet?---(did i phrase that right)----SO GOOD MORNIN' JIM!!---
MEI & TITAN are begging for goodies---Seem to be enjoying them-----TAI is sacked out again---"LITTLE PRINCE" must have had a HARD NIGHT!!!!----
Morning, Wanda, Norma, Glo, Mits, Eagle-eyed Sharon, Mauley, Mema Jo and Mits.
"Morning before you sign on" to Paula and everyone else thinking about it.
Jim
SD cam was on Su Lin, went black again, and when it came back on after a minute, Su Lin was no where in sight...probably went for a corn dog w/mustard.
Jim
JIM----VERY "CLEVER" SIGN IN!!!!---Are you coming EAST with ANNE-MARIE for OPEN HOUSE at NCTC???---We are looking forward to meeting you!----Did you see her pics----BEAUTIFUL!!
"ATLANTA BEAUTY" is lounging in the hammock all alone---eating something----(too cute) & LUN LUN is on the floor eating BAMBOO!!---
AFTER their a.m. nap---They are now relaxing!!----ho!!
Bai Yun has re-entered the den. I don't see Squiggles, but she can't be far behind.
Could be feeding time for the baby girl.
Jim
Is that SQUIGGLES on the straw, peering out at something?---Looks too large for her---but not large enough to be BAI----
Thanks Megan, I will look it up later. Too tired to care right now. LOL
BUTA BUTA is on the floor playing with a PURPLE BALL---She is certainly enjoying rolling & chewing it at the same time---LUN LUN is now lounging in the hammock with her BAMBOO!----JO still think BUTA BUTA needs a tree to climb!!!
Hey Jim, I'm here!!
Ho Ho! Stealing her mom's bamboo!
Thanks for the headsup Norma - I just popped in to see what I was missing.
Good morning, Paula. You probably just got back from lunch. Time is funny, isn't it.
Jim
OK I am broke now LOL. I did tell them exactly why I want a nice cam...got 14 days to learn to use it or bring it back. my dogs are gonna be in lots of pictures these next 14 days. I am excited think I did good.
Satisfaction guaranteed - that's the kind of deal I like! Good luck, Glo.
Which one did you get? I just hope it zooms really well! You saw how high the nest was! lol
Afternoon folks been reading comments.
Norma keep a look out Liberty and Belle might have flew up your way.
I do miss seeing Tia climbing a tree.
Did you all hear about the "loggerhead turtles" decreasing again. Suppose to be on the "endangered list" again.????????
Frieda is awake, still very early a.m. there.
Afternoon Mits it is getting closer for you isn't it? ( :
Clip-Clop Clip-Clop Clip-Clop
Mits or anyone is San Diego panda cam down?
I have it up OK Dana
She sure does look small on the cam, doesn't she?
Paula for some reason won't open humm
My SD cam is up, Dana...yes, due date is a week from tomorrow.
Finally found another way don't ask me how because I was trying everything. I am in to squiggles cam ty ty to the one "upstairs" ( :
Do they have a name picked out, Mits?
HI DANA----I just checked on SQUIGGLE----That's the little 'LOVE BUG'----She is so tiny---but so ADORABLE!!----Do you think she needs a HUG?----I think so!!!
PAULA---Don't they wait a 100 days?
Hi Norma I think she does too. I'll give you first hugs to her lol
Norma I'll help out here in case Paula stepped away from computer...ok
Panda's they wait 100 days
Humans before or at birth usually
"SLEEPING BEAUTY" is asleep now--high on the other TRIPOD?---"Bless Her Little Heart"! awwwww!
Norma sweetie did you catch my note about "humans"......that should jog your memory with what Mits said. Your my bright light here now Norma. You know how much I respect you lady. I know you'll get this one.......((((((hugs to you)))))
THANKS DANA!----Will let you have the HUG!!!----ho!----Humans are naming their babies before they are born---now that they can find out the sex before they are born!!!
LOL......yes Paula they do....
LOL, glad you knew what I meant Mits!
OK MeMa Jo Its a Sony DSC-H9 Has a 15 zoom on it ...which is pretty much the max I can find out there unless I go to SLR cam at which point I am looking at like more than $1000 and have to carry along all kinds of lenses to get anything Zoomed in nice. Think I will do fine with it but I have been home now over an hour and its still in the box as i've been reading online info etc. So Now tis time to open the box and start charging up a battery LOL. And it has a 3 inch LCD monitor which is great size for like aging eyes and image stabilization ya know for when you are excited and just snap fast like when an eagle just showed up over there LOL and can actually take rapid pictures etc etc. OK off to learn more about how I just spent my money LOL.
Afternoon everyone
Jo, thank you my roses were beautiful this year.
Just now on frodo cam I saw something small and white well it looked kinda grayish in the dimness could it be? Nah maybe not
I sould be heading out to get apples second week of Oct to bake my pies.
I'm going to look at the frodo pic I took and enlarge it to see if it was a fuzzball.
Ok ladies I just took a Motrin. Going to lay down so it takes effect. No where as bad as what happened to Candy. I got up from table reading newspaper. Step one way lost my balance and stumbled trying to keep from falling. Across the kitchen into the stove. So I can only say the body going every which way has left me all stubbed up. I was going to say "stoved up" LOL catch you later wink
OK DANA----I guess they are discussing the birth of MIT'S grand child---& I talking about SQUIGGLES!!!----ho! SORRY---I guess I do need to eat lunch--DANA!!
Sounds like a good choice, Glo. Mine has 12x zoom.
Take care Dana.
Robyn - don't know how you saw anything down under. I was just thinking it is always darkest before the dawn!
Robyn are you talking about right under her chin?
That's what I saw Paula....yes, I try to keep up with the program....
it really does look like a broken egg shell
I sent the pic to momsters maybe someone else can see what it is...
I don't see a fuzzy though.
looks like a broken shell to me, in less then an hour it will be lighter.
The light from the moon or whatever it is may be playing tricks on the eyes
Well, it is lighter than all the surrounding pebbles at this point.
I think the moon has passed by, because it was lighter several hours ago,
Maybe it is just wishful thinking, Robyn....it will be daylight soon, 4:45a.m. there.
Soon then, hopefully I will be home before they hatch if one didn't already.
that is a cracked egg, I'm pretty sure.
That does look like it could be a shell the way it looks to have a curve to it, looks like a vague indentation. Yes, wishful thinking.
I hope mits!
BRB heading out to get T from the bus and bringing her home for a little while to see her kitties. Hopefully I wont miss anything
Now the question is.....was it a viable egg?
Before coming back to the blog, I also noticed what looks like a piece of egg shell. AND Frieda has her throat feathers spread wider than usual, so I think she has a new chick up front there under those feathers.
Jim
more egg shell showing.
I think your right, Jim. Great spotting - Robyn! Won't know until she moves but it certainly WOW LOOK DOWN UNDER NOW
THINGS ARE HAPPENING!!
Now you can see both pieces of an egg shell in front of Frieda.
Jim
I sure hope that John and Greg are up & about "Down Under" and see all this going on.
Hurry up Robyn - get Tori and get in the house......
I'm back
Well i would say we have eggshell!!
Do we have a fuzzball????
Bai Yun just returned to the den, perhaps to feed the baby.
Jim
Thanks Paula I surely hope its a good choice. I like having 14 days to play. Of course if I decide no on this one it doesn't give me much time to learn a new one before heading off to NCTC.. Got the battery a charging now.
Watching what I really think is MaMa Freida and waiting for that daylight pretty pink .
Hey, Little eyass!
Come out, Come out from under your mom's chin
Frieda is looking under like,
"I can see you"
WB Robyn - sure looks like we have one but nothing visible yet except the cracked half egg shells
Could we have 2 seperate eggs shells?
They don't have anything published on the site. Is anyone in contact with them?
Jim
We could, Robyn. They will hatch very close together.
Oh YAY! Them are shells!
The 10 sec cam is color whereas the 30 is b&w
nevermind both the same
Now all she needs to do is get up and we can see them. I am so excited
looks like she is moving the shells
Jim - I just emailed them and sent a couple of pics.
My question also, Jim! Mits may have sent the pic... Their site will probably update this evening our time. I just hope a lot of viewers are on and not missing this.
Ooooh Frodo! We need a pigeon!
lol I was just calling out
FRODO, BIG DADDY!
BRING YOUR LITTLE LADY A FEAST!
Doubt if those guys are into work yet, only 6:00a.m. there.
Ok take pics if you see them please, I am going to run to basement turn on desktop and get some laundry done while I await the debut :)
Guess they'll have lots of emails to open this morning at work!
Argghh!! Half a pic!!
I wonder if Frodo is sitting over there where she keeps looking?
I didn't send any pics to them.:)
OK finally can get back to doing something. One hatched 2 to go LOL
Good beautiful afternoon folks.. have not read all the blog messages from today, but i did read yesterdays sorta... Well didnt those Redskins blow that game out the ying yang Grrrrrr... I see a baby has hatched on Frodo cam... Our eagles didnt show up last night huh? Well maybe tonight they will come and set a spell to make up for it...BBL checking cams
Did frieda get up yet?
Anyone seen a meal come in for the new baby yet?
Yes Robyn she has one hatch and two eggs. Not sure where everyone went though thought maybe they were all in the basement helping you with the laundry
Another thing I wanted to tell you about last night...
I looked in on Afrocam before bedtime, and there was a large, dead Cape Buffalo being consumed by a couple of dozen large vultures.
I couldn't see the whole Buffalo, but it didn't appear to have been killed by lions... maybe just dropped from old age.
Jim
A new baby falcon
How about that! Not too fluffy yet! But they will develop and have first flight before you know it!
Hiya GloBug.. Howdy Jim i have not really had achance to watch Petes Pond yet this season only caught a few glimpses of my Boy FATTY THE CROC....
Isnt that the truth Jo how ya doin today? Just seems like yesterday was the first day we all started gathering on here n bloggin n watching the cam and to think it is going on 3 years now.. Un beleivable the things we as fammily have shared here and such a blessing for us all...
