Thursday

New thread.

I've been wondering if our activities in the nest had caused any disturbances with the eagle pair. I'm told that they have been back since the work, most recently seen last night at 6:30 PM.

IT'S A GIRL!!!!! and what a beauty she is; soooooo cute and cuddly.

movin said...

It's a girl alright! Still haven't found the link to this week's video or audio. Maybe it's not ready yet.

Jim

Jill said...

Got it Paula. Thanks.

Candy, we love the Tarheels here too but WVU is always #1.

Just saw the news, it's a girl. I believe that is what we have been saying for a while now isn't it? lOL

paula eagleholic said...

AWESOME - Just hope they don't name her Mei, too!

movin said...

Euwie (sp?) on BW nest.

Jim

Mema Jo said...

I guess they will name her on the 100th day! Wonder if we will be able to VOTE on this one like the Atlanta one?

I missed the vulture at BW......

Mema Jo said...

Jim placed the link on the email address from the Momsters..

paula eagleholic said...

Jim, the proper spelling is

Eeeeewwwwiiiieeee!!!!

:):)

Mema Jo said...

Will be interesting to know if Anne got a ride on the "blue" bus I see coming in and out of the port's parking lot!


Well, b-day cake is iced for son and it is time to get chicken ready for the grill...... I'll be back later

paula eagleholic said...

If that's chocolate cake, you'll see me later :)

MITS said...

Our EAGLECAM now has the correct date today 9-13-07, but time is 4:38p.m.

carolinabeachmom said...

It that is chocolate cake with chocolate icing, I'll be there too.

MITS said...

soooo we are making some progress:).

MITS said...

CANDY Anne will be in Ketchikan on Saturday and at sea on Sunday and Monday arriving back in San Francisco 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday.

MITS said...

just heard the loons and now the eagles up in MAINE.

paula eagleholic said...

What are you talking about Mits???

OUr eaglecam with correct time and date?

carolinabeachmom said...

Thanks MITS for the heads up on Anne-Marie. I may see some of her trip yet.

MITS said...

NCTC, PAULA...my cam has been saying July 11th since it went down, just now it has the correct date, but time is stuck on 4:38 p.m., but still blue screen, that is why I said we were making some progress.

carolinabeachmom said...

I just finished catching up on fifty some emails and now am going looking for something for supper. If I don't fall asleep, I'll BBL

MITS said...

Eagles are very vocal up in MAINE

glo said...

Yep got the right date but still blue screen here too. That is so encouraging actually. :)

MITS said...

The good news is when it is turned on and working again:).

movin said...

The video of the little Panda's exam today is up, and the link is below. I saw an audio interview on there too.

IT’S A GIRL

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

:( I got nuttin!

Just the regular picture on the website.

paula eagleholic said...

AHA - I got it now, I got rid of the "no" in the url...If you go into the regular page, the last part says noeaglecam.htm.

http://www.fws.gov/nctc/cam/eaglecam.htm

Thanks for the update, Ladies!

floralgirl said...

Did someone mention chocolate cake??!!!

MITS said...

I kept my eagle feed up on my favorites, just in case....glad you are in, Paula.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks for the link, Jim.
Those little panda sounds were so cute!!

MITS said...

those eagles are really close to the Maine nest, but aren't coming in for a visit.

paula eagleholic said...

JO's probably not gonna tell us Megan. She doesn't want all the birthday cake gone before the birthday boy gets a piece.

floralgirl said...

Beautiful eagle at BW

MITS said...

She is a little porker.

paula eagleholic said...

Anyone having anything good for dinner? I can't decide on anything. Probably end up having apple crisp...

paula eagleholic said...

Awww, man I missed it, but thanks Megan.

MITS said...

apple crisp works for me....just doing hot dogs on the grill, because I was too lazy to go to store today:).

floralgirl said...

Oops, now it's gone..

floralgirl said...

I'm eating Pringles, highly nutritious, I'm sure.

paula eagleholic said...

Mmm, I could do a hot sausage, with mustard and onions...thanks, Mits!

MITS said...

Geez, Megan, how do stay so svelte?

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, I just had this vision of everyone at their computer eating all sorts of different snacks!

paula eagleholic said...

Chips, popcorn, cake, ice cream, apple crisp....if you follow me...

paula eagleholic said...

I hear the Maine eagles, Mits.

floralgirl said...

Heck, I don't know Mits, I eat a lot of junk... And I am a chocolate addict. During the summer I just work it off, winter is tougher.

MITS said...

With that menu, will pretty much follow you anywhere.

MITS said...

Wonder if Anne is watching her carbs???

MITS said...

They have been talking back and forth, but will not land at nest, night cam is down to conserve energy for when they really need it.

floralgirl said...

BBL- don't eat all the goodies without me..

Jill said...

I will take some apple crisp with a side of chocolate cake. Some chips for my appetizer and ice cream for dessert. Thanks.

MITS said...

excellent choice, Jill.

paula eagleholic said...

Almost dark in Maine

MITS said...

Yep, just shut it down, Paula:(

paula eagleholic said...

Check out the view now on the Princess Anne.

MITS said...

its changed from this a.m.

normabyrd said...

THANKS JIM!!----Loved seeing HER---I was sure she was a GIRL---LITTLE SQUIGGLES has a LOUD VOICE too!!!

Jill said...

Norma-don't you have a game to watch?

normabyrd said...

CANDY----You betcha!!----I LOVE THE TAR HEELS!!!!----Miss you in the a.m.----I guess I'll need to get up earlier!!!!!----DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THE LITTLE "GIRL" PANDA---Did you hear her yell????----She can yell for the MOUNTAINEERS!!!!--ho!

Mema Jo said...

SPICE All Gone Large group

BBL in about an hour... just popping in checking you all out!

MITS said...

Anne's ship doesn't leave till 11 Alaskan time, wonder if she has a late p.m. tour, see little boats and buses.

MITS said...

JILL, there is a good show on Court TV....Inside the American Jail...they are in Tampa, looks like some of your friends.

movin said...

Frieda just left the eggs.

MITS said...

thanks, Jim, finally got to see them.

MITS said...

she wasn't gone long

MITS said...

ooppps, think that is Frodo.

MITS said...

Going to watch my favorite shows The First 48 and Dallas Swat..BBL.

movin said...

I think it's Frodo on the clutch now, although I don't see the white spot someone mentioned. He's much smaller.

Jim

MITS said...

yep its Frodo

paula eagleholic said...

Must have been a switch? Missed Frieda, but looks like Frodo on their now...

paula eagleholic said...

Maybe Anne is at the Red dog Saloon.

movin said...

Haha, didn't see your earlier comment, Mits.

Jim

Jill said...

Thanks Mits Seen enough of my friends today. LOL. Will watch it some other time. Watching WVU MD football right now

movin said...

Remember that John in Brisbane said they wouldn't fund sound because, for one reason, they didn't make a pretty sound? Well, here's a link to a site with the call of the Peregrine.

You can probably find other calls on the same site.

Jim


Peregrine call

movin said...

I clicked on "List" and found many bird's pics and calls. Have fun.

Jim

MITS said...

The ship on the north facing cam in Juneau just left.

paula eagleholic said...

Egg turning time in OZ

paula eagleholic said...

Just got a pic of it from the Dawn Princess cam

paula eagleholic said...

Closeup in OZ

MITS said...

darn, I missed it, Paula, can you send me the pic...can't watch TV and the cams at same time.

paula eagleholic said...

It wasn't the eggs, Mits. Just the back of the bird....maybe they thought they were gonna get the eggs...still want it?

MITS said...

Oh I thought you were talking about the ship going past the Dawn Pricnes...lol

MITS said...

I have pics of the eggs.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, I thought you wanted bird pics...I'll send the cruise ship pics! :)

Mema Jo said...

SEND ME THE BIRD PICS AND THE CRUISE PICS because I am too tired to figure out your conversation...lol

Mema Jo said...

MITS I am so happy you got the pic of Frieda's eggs - I looked for cracks but guess we won't see any until around the 20th

Mema Jo said...

I googled Red Dog Saloon - Hope Anne knows about it. I bet Bobbi told her before her trip, not to miss it.

paula eagleholic said...

Sounds like you had a good evening, Jo. :)

Robyn said...

Speaking of late night snacks again I see, not right, they all sounded delicious. I hope y'all are doing good this evening.

Beautiful night again windows open crickets chirping, woofs barking... I love the country.

Is the "Princess Anne" moving, I noticed the scenery change earlier but not recently.

Mema Jo said...

I say that Princess Anne doesn't move until 11:00 their time.... which is 3am for us. Someone said they thought the ship at the dock(Princess Coral) had moved but I guess I disagree..... But then I wasn't watching most of the evening & tuned in late...........

Mema Jo said...

http://www.fws.gov/nctc/cam/
eaglecam.htm

Robyn Try this url in the morning
It's our cam - Date is current - Time isn't..... We Momsters are hoping for a TURN ON SOON to happen.

paula eagleholic said...

JO, I am not haveing luck sending you any pics...I'll try tomorrow!

Robyn said...

I read through the blogs and took it from Mits post but thank you. I saw the date and got excited, not much longer. Would be nice to see by this weekend :)

paula eagleholic said...

Guess I'll miss it leaving then!

Good night all, I'm pooped. See ya tomorrow.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT TO YOU ALL--
Jo and I took another trip to Istanbul tonight and we are tired......aren't we JO?
You know what time it is. Sleep well.

Mema Jo said...

Good Night, Paula. TTUT

Yes, Robyn That would be great! I
am anxious to see OUR cam in action.
Not that there would be that much but Liberty & Belle always did drop in around early evening hours. I really do miss seeing them - Seems like we know them best of all!

Mema Jo said...

I was just about to say that I was going to get out of here before Wanda saw me because she knows how tired I am LOL

movin said...

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT, MITS, MEMA JO, PAULA, ROBYN, EVERYONE/GOOD TGIF DAY, SUZANNE AND THE EARLY CREW...

JIM

Mema Jo said...

GO TO YOUR PORT CAMS & BRIDGE CAMS
One ship has now left the dock.
Don't think it's DAWN

Mema Jo said...

Oh my! I guess I am alone..
No one to watch the ships with me..
I'd love to see the headline change on the Dawn Princess to
"Along side Juneau" There looks as though another ship is headed in to the dock.

Robyn said...

Good night Jo, sleep well.

Looks like sun will be setting soon in Alaska, I can see pinks in the sky.

Robyn said...

Night Jim, hope you sleep better tonight.

MITS said...

Good Night all.

Mema Jo said...

Good Night All
Peace to You & Yours
Prayers being said for all your needs



Good Friday Morning

All You Early Birds

Robyn said...

Good night Mits :)

Robyn said...

Squiggles has been alone quite a while now and in the same position, must be tuckered out.

movin said...

I don't know if anyone is up, but if you are take a look at Pete's Pond.

I heard some thrashing and in a minute when I looked, one of the crocodiles had a medium size brown antelope by the nose in the water and was holding it under. It appeared to be dead by then, but the croc held on to it for some time. Then it pushed the carcass slowly to the right and off camera.

Jim

Robyn said...

Hi Jim, what is that in the water? antelope?

Suzanne said...

Good morning, world! Since we have so many lurkers from all over the world, and we have evolved into interests all over the world, it just easier to say good morning to the world.
YIPPIIEEEEE! See Squiggles is a little girl! I'm so glad we know, now we don't have to keep saying he/she. How cool is that! Thanks for the email, Miss Norma!!! First thing I read this morning.
Phew, that was exciting. Sure glad nobody is in yet, I yelled!
Beautiful night out, warm, 68 at my house, 70 here. Thought it was supposed to cool off today and get rain this afternoon, but not sure I heard correctly. Wasn't paying much attention to news/weather last night.
Gotta go catch up on all the cruising and news I missed.
All have a great eagle/panda/cruise day.
Bai is asleep on her back, right arm up in the air...right foot up in the air...our little baby girl Squiggles is being held in Bai's left arm, she has Squiggles on her chest and arm. Way too cute. Oh how cool is that, another little baby girl. Exciting.
Ok, eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Suzanne said...

Bai had an ear itch, then she changed positions, then rolled over, and Squiggles and she were sleeping touching butts. Too cute. But now Squiggles has her left leg caught under Bai and she's having a fit to get out from under mom! And she is certainly Squiggling! Wish mom would wake up. Wish Squiggles would make some noise.

Suzanne said...

Oh, she's trying so hard, just moving her body and her little hind leg. Oh, there comes the other leg. Well she brings it out, then puts it back. So maybe she's just scooting or something. Not sure what she's trying to do, but Bai moved a little, and Squiggles is just squiggling.

Suzanne said...

She's free! She made it out from under Bai, and now she's just wiggling all over the place.

Suzanne said...

Too funny, Bai got the hint. Guess that little baby girl was hungry, and that was maybe her version of kicking mom awake! Well, it worked. Sorta. Mom woke up, rolled over, sat up, then picked up Squiggles and laid back down. She now has the restless little girl between her paws, and looks like Bai is snuggling Squiggles. But also holding her kinda tight, too. Little one wants to go. Ok, Bai now washing her, and those little legs are moving! Come on mom, I'm hungry...
Nope, not working, Bai wants to sleep.

Suzanne said...

Guess Bai won that round. She is holding Squiggles very tightly and trying to get back to sleep.

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD FRIDAY MORNING SUZANNE AND ALL OTHERS WHO MIGHT BLOG ON HERE TODAY.

SUZANNE Glad you made it into work safely today. All made it through another week; almost.

NORMA Your Mountaineers won last night. I fell asleep watching the game, but woke up for the ending. Go eeeeeeeeers! :)

JIM Thanks for the falcon call. It was an interesting sound. Never heard it before.

carolinabeachmom said...

JIM That was some video and sound of squiggles getting her exam. She is just so cute and cuddly/

Suzanne said...

Morning, Candy! We made it to Friday once again!
Exciting about Squiggles isn't it? I'm so glad we finally know it's a cute little baby girl. (Course it would still be a "cute little" if it was a boy too.)
If I don't get to talk to you once you go to school Candy, have a wonderful weekend!

carolinabeachmom said...

Just finished checking out last night 's blog and guess I had better get myself in gear and start getting myself ready for work. You all have a super day cruising with Anne-Marie in Alaska!

carolinabeachmom said...

THANKS SUZANNE. You have a wonderful weekend too! Maybe we can hope that Monday will bring our eagle cam on line. Is it too much to hope for. Would so much love to see them again. Have a good day.

Suzanne said...

Oh, that would be so cool, Candy! What a wonderful surprise that would be!! We can only hope. Nice to know they are still around doing nestorations, though.

Suzanne said...

Bai and our little girl are sleeping, but the Squiggles is still squiggling! She's just not very forceful about it, and Bai has her in her paw.
BRB, so Candy I'll talk to you later if you're gone by the time I get back.

Suzanne said...

Squiggles finally got her wish, she's nursing.

Suzanne said...

Bai back to sleeping, so is Squiggles.

Suzanne said...

Awww, getting daylight on the Bonaire beach, and they evidentally had a cookout last night. There is also a dog sound asleep in the sand. Too cute.
Bai and Squiggles are still asleep.

carolinabeachmom said...

SUZANNE What has happened to all your early morning coffee drinkers and Pj wearers?

carolinabeachmom said...

Come on all you early birds. WANDA wake up for Suzanne. I know you were cruising last night and turned in late, but Suzanne is here all alone. :)

carolinabeachmom said...

I just got the room ready and the beginning papers passed out. What a surprise to look in here to find Suzanne still alone, and I can't stay on here for her. So sorry Suzanne that they have too much partying late into the evening to rise early today. :)

carolinabeachmom said...

Have to go. All have a good day.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SUZ AND CANDY--
I just got up. The sea air did me in last night while cruising with Iris.

Costume Lady said...

SUZ--
I think you are just as happy as I that Squiggles is a little girl. There was something about her that just seemed feminine; a little Prima Dona.

Costume Lady said...

Going to turn the COFFEE on BBL

Suzanne said...

LOL, Candy, I was doing something else. Not checking cams or the blog. Sorry I missed your return once you got to school. Guess everybody is sleeping in on this beautiful Friday morning. My turn is coming, probably Sunday.

Morning, Wanda. Did you have a good cruise last night? Are you guys still in Turkey? They have absolutely beautiful waters over there!

Suzanne said...

Bai and Squiggles are still sleeping. Was going to say so is the puppy on the beach, but that pic is not updating! Donkeys are getting up, getting ready for breakfast. Didn't see an eagle in BW this morning, but wasn't watching at their usual arrival time, either. They could have been and gone for all I know.

Suzanne said...

Squiggles is alone...well was alone, mom just came back.

Costume Lady said...

Yes, SUZ, we were still in Turkey last night. Some of the highlights for me was seeing the Mosques and night before last, we saw the remains of an ancient Brothel. It had a sign with a footprint which was supposed to be the first advertisment. Don't know the significance of the footprint, but found it interesting.

Costume Lady said...

IRIS is supposed to board her ship today. Glo has been in touch with her while she is in Turkey, but don't know if she will be once she boards the ship.
ANNE-MARIE Told us it would cost her $13 to email us from her ship, so she decided to wait until she got back home to share photos with us. Really anxious to hear all about her trip and see photos taken with her new camera. Hope she got the hang of using it before she left home.

Lisa said...

Okay, don't fear the turtle. :-D

Cool observations at Pete's Pond. The other day I saw a family of warthogs on the cam. They drank water and rolled in the mud.

Then the other night I saw a lioness drinking at the edge. The cam panned right by her twice without stopping. They must use automatic panning at times. She wasn't there long.

Costume Lady said...

NORMA AND JILL---
WE WON!!!!!!!!
We have an AWSOME team.

GO EEEEEERs!!

Costume Lady said...

SORRY LISA--
We love our EEEEERS.

Costume Lady said...

The commentary from JIM about Pete's Pond was interesting. He seems to be in the right place at the right time!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning everybody. Hope all is well with everybody today.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Lisa! Yup, I'm a turtle too! Go Terps...next time.

Morning, Sharon.

Our sleeping beauties are too cute.

OH EAGLE AT BW!!!

Suzanne said...

Yes, Wanda, our little Squiggles is a Prima Dona. Too cute. I don't know if I wanted a boy or girl, maybe a boy because from reading the blogs while Tai was growing up, and now our sleepy head in Atlanta, seems Tai had lots of energy, and was into everything. Our Sleeping Beauty just wants to sleep. Didn't get to watch them growing up, but can watch this little princess, so hopefully she'll have some energy. Course so far, she's doing a bang up job! Squiggling all over, then scooting, so I hope she's a go- getter!
Look at the way they're sleeping now, adorable.
Eagle still hanging out at BW.

Lisa said...

Mei Lan does sleep a lot.

They mentioned the other day how excited she was to go outside when the weather cooled. It made me wonder if she'd be more active if they didn't have to stay inside so much with the hot weather.

.

glo said...

Good morning all. Sharon so nice to see a message from you as we start the day.

Here is a picture of Iris's ship docked at Istanbul waiting to board her special passenger.

She leaves at 3 pm Eastern time for Ephesus
Norwegian Jewel at Istanbul

glo said...

Picture was taken from top of Galata Tower in Istanbul...can see almost 360 of Istanbul as it pans around.

Galata Tower

If watching from here you can see her ship leave Istanbul

Suzanne said...

Yeah, Lisa, I'm hoping our little princess Squiggles is way more active! She seems to be active so far.

Glo, Ephesus is absolutely beautiful. OLD, ancient city, beautiful ruins. If you like any kind of history, Turkey is the place to go and actually SEE it. They also say Noah's ark is buried in Mt Ararat, which is in North Eastern Turkey. Man, I may have to get my pictures out this weekend and look at them. It's been years.

Eagle still in BW, and look at our sleeping beauties now. Too cute.
