GOOD MORNING STEVE--THANKS

Costume Lady said...

Steve, Have you seen our Eagles Lately? We haven't seen them for 2 days, I think.

Costume Lady said...

HELLO, HELLO, HELLO---I am over here alone.

Costume Lady said...

Suz must be taking a break. Where are you Robyn?

Costume Lady said...

OK--I'm going for COFFEE. BBL

MITS said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE Thanks for the heads-up, Wanda, and thanks for the Tuesday thread, Steven.

Suzanne said...

Thanks for the new thread, Steven. Can you tell us, did you or have you seen the eagles in the last couple of days?

thanks for the heads up, Wanda.

BRB

Robyn said...

Thanks for the new thread Steve,

Morning Mts

Wanda didn't get to read mail yet but saw it arrive

Robyn said...

did everyone go back to sleep??

Suzanne said...

Morning, Mits! Down to about a week now, aren't we?

MITS said...

Yes, we are....waiting for a call, to find out about this a.m. doctors' appt. The last I heard is, if she is dilated any today, she can be induced on Friday....I'm old school, last just be patient.

Suzanne said...

Wow, I'm in the same school! Baby will come when it's ready. Is she gonna call US to let us know how the appt went??? (Notice the US, like in, I know you're gonna tell us. We don't get to have babies everyday!)

MITS said...

Well, stick around, they way they talk, there will be at least 2 or 3 more. They love kids!

Suzanne said...

COOL. Everybody has to have a playmate!!

MITS said...

I agree, my son was an only child, and I think he wants a bigger family.

glo said...

Good morning all. Off to coffee and dog treats soon. Then its play with the new cam, and work on the last cruise for Iris's trip this Thurs night 8PM Eastern time. Anne and I are still getting her pictures together but when its a done deal it will be awesome.

The only other thing I want to do before heading out to work later today is to see Lib and Belle!!!

Costume Lady said...

SUZ--Just read about the Preacher.
ROFLMBO!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING GLO--
We are all IMPATIENTLY waiting on Lib & Belle. Hope Steve lets us know if they have been spotted.

MITS said...

Frieda is trying to rest...

MITS said...

All quiet up in Maine too.

Costume Lady said...

Looking forward to our last cruise. Will miss our gatherings.

Robyn said...

Frieda looks to be sitting up whoops back down again...

Robyn said...

maybe we will have fuzzball #2 this afternoon?

Suzanne said...

Good morning, Glo. Take it from your comments that you were successful yesterday in finding a new camera? What did you end up with?

MITS said...

I was thinking the same thing Robyn.

MITS said...

her head is up and down.

Suzanne said...

Different view of Squiggles nest now. Bai sure has a lot of nesting material in there. She brings a bunch in every time she goes out. But, still no Squiggles or Bai yet today.
Still no Lib and Belle yet today.
Iris' ship is out to sea, nothing but sea visible.

MITS said...

Weather must be mild for them to be out and about.

Suzanne said...

Well dang, now we have Su Lin. Of course it's still dark there, so where is the outside cam for Bai and Squiggles????

Suzanne said...

I was thinking the same, Mits, but Squiggles was outside for a long time yesterday, too.

MITS said...

I have never really liked the SD cams, but they really don't have the man power to operate them, they should get some volunteers.

MITS said...

Frieda is sleeping.

floralgirl said...

Hello everyone:) Hey Suzanne, saw your question to Glo- in case she ran out already-here's her comment from yesterday. 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.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Megan, thanks. No, hadn't seen Glo's comment from yesterday. Sounds like she got a nice camera! If she's like me, now all she has to do is figure out how to use the thing! THAT's the tricky part!!!

Steve Chase said...

We haven't in the last day or two, but we're watching. Our security folks see them all the time.

Suzanne said...

SEE?? I knew they had one! Now we have the entrance to Bai's birthing den. Saw a movement, but it was inside. So is Bai back inside with Squiggles?????
They're making me CRAZY!!!
Mits, I may go out there to volunteer!

MITS said...

Thank you, STEVEN, won't be too long before they start their nestorations.

Suzanne said...

Uh oh, that's not a good thing.
Thanks for the update, Steven. We were wondering!!

floralgirl said...

Thanks, Steve. What a great perk to that security job.

MITS said...

Suzanne, I'll go with you:).

Suzanne said...

Oh yeah, Mits, up close and personal. And you have experience, they would let you in immediatelly! Then you can sneak me in...

I know they have another cam, unless this is the one zoomed in, but I've watched Bai when she was out in the yard. I just wonder where they are sleeping these days.

Suzanne said...

Getting daylight in SD, more light on Bai's entrance.

Suzanne said...

HELLO!!! BAI BRINGING SQUIGGLES OUT IN HER MOUTH!!!!

Suzanne said...

Well, that little stinker! Bai had Squiggles in her mouth, walked out, and turned around and walked right back in. Didn't even let go of Squiggles for a sec.

Robyn said...

Thanks for the update Suz, of course I missed that.

Suzanne said...

At least we know where they are. Now... how can I get in there and hide under ALL that "stuff"...

Just want a peek at the little princess...

Suzanne said...

Hang in there, Robyn. Bai went in that door and off to our right.

Suzanne said...

From the quick cam view we got while Bai was outside with Squigs, this door is part of an L, (sorta) this being the bottom. Think Bai was taking Squiggles to the other door and changed her mind. Must be another den for her.

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning! Appreciated your comment Steve about Liberty & Belle's whereabouts!
Mits that you have a lot of anxious and nervous buddies out here! Like Suzanne said it isn't everyday we get a new baby!

MITS said...

darn, missed it.....

glo said...

Ok Back from Coffe. I am still here but yes about to eat and read lOL...well saw a sparrow shall I take a sample bird picture.

Wanda This will be very far from our last cruise...Just the last one of Iris's cruise put together by me...I am sure I can get Iris to do what Anne is currently helping me to get organized and that is narrate her own cruise with photos etc once she has them....well then again not sure Iris has a digital, so unless she makes a CD and puts them online we may not get a narrated cruise by Iris BUT Anne's is around the corner a little but its in the works. Thanks Megan for sharing that info on the cam. I think I am going to like it just fine.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jo. Yup, anxious for our newest, littlest Eaglet Momster!

We now have Squiggles' older sister on cam, Su Lin. Guess when Bai took Squiggles back in the den, she's not planning on coming back out anytime soon. Darn!

Glo, sounds like you're gonna have a good time getting to know your camera! Sparrow is as good a place to start as any!

MITS said...

Suzanne, now they are back on Su Lin's cam...

Suzanne said...

Yeah, darn, Mits, saw her for a sec, then she moved off cam. These guys are getting camera shy, that won't work!

MITS said...

That's correct, Jo....daughter-in-law called, she is 2cm dilated, they are planning on inducement next Monday, if she does not go before that:).

MITS said...

now I'm getting no pic at SD.

MITS said...

Frieda is really looking under her chest.

MITS said...

if she bends any lower, she is going to do a somersault

Suzanne said...

LOL, Mits, looked like she wanted to! Maybe another fuzzy??
Bai back on cam, but no idea where she is. Wonder if they have Squiggles for an exam???

Suzanne said...

She was in that hallway, stood up by what looked like a door, then strolled out that door.

Suzanne said...

Bai is now gonna destroy some bamboo. But where is Squiggles???

Suzanne said...

Uh oh, gathering to take into den...

Suzanne said...

THERE IS SQUIGGLES!!!

Suzanne said...

Oh, she's scooting!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Good Morning, all. My Monday here.

Blackwater is up, in case you didn't know...

Hopefully I can catch up on things later...

Suzanne said...

Morning, Paula. Checked it earlier and it was still down, so thanks for the heads up!

MITS said...

LITTLE TUB OF BUTTER......

Suzanne said...

LOL, she sure is getting round, isn't she?

MITS said...

I had checked it also, Thanks, Paula

Suzanne said...

I'm happy now. Bai is in the bamboo, Squiggles is in the den either watching the door or listening. Bai is so pretty! Course, they all are pretty! Wonder how much bamboo Bai will bring in the den when she returns?

normabyrd said...

GOOD EAGLE BUDDIES!!---Gorgeous day in WV--temp. 57°---Sun is shining----(COMPUTER GIVING ME FITS THIS A.M.)----So I am giving it another try!!!---WOW WANDA!!!--You are # 1 again---CONGRATS!!!---What a AWESOME "FUZZ BALL"---Love watching that site---FREIDA is so beautiful when she looks up at you with those EYES!! Must read the BLOG!!!

Robyn said...

I see Bai but where is squiggles?

Robyn said...

Morning Paula

MITS said...

Norma, it is already 80° here.

Robyn said...

Whoops just read your post Suz now I know where squigs is

MITS said...

Maybe something going on "down under" Frieda.

MITS said...

Norma, get the boiling water ready:).

Suzanne said...

She's sure having a good time with that Bamboo, isn't she?

Suzanne said...

They really zoomed in on Frieda!
Bai is throwing that bamboo all over the place!

paula eagleholic said...

Got a thank you from down under for sending pics....

Suzanne said...

Oops, sorry, morning, Norma. Think Norma left to go read the blogs...

MITS said...

really a good example of her using her extra thumb to hold on and eat the bamboo...

normabyrd said...

HELEN----This is the day I said your new grand baby would arrive!!!----LIFE IS GOOD!!!---Have you all in my thoughts!!!

MITS said...

Sometimes, pandas will only eat the leaves of the bamboo.....What did they say, Paula?

Suzanne said...

She's sure doing a good job, Mits! She's been flipping that bamboo all over!

MITS said...

Not, yet, Norma, but close.

MITS said...

She is getting the choicest leaves, Suzanne.

Suzanne said...

There she goes...

MITS said...

There she goes...

Suzanne said...

Oh, ok, thanks, Mits. She sure was flipping that bamboo.

Now I'm waiting for them to show mom back with baby...

MITS said...

LOL.....we couldn't do that again if we tried, Suzanne.

normabyrd said...

HELEN---I can boil that water in a sec--ho!---(just let me know)----WHOA!!!--the "LITTLE PRINCE" is in the same place he was yesterday---Isn't that the "misting place"---I STILL LOVE HIM MOST OF ALL!!!---He is just too CUTE!!!!

normabyrd said...

HEY SUZANNE & MITS---(GREAT MINDS)!!!!

MITS said...

Yes, Norma he is in his favorite spot...hope the misters are working tomorrow, going to be hot.

Suzanne said...

Awww, mom back with baby. Looks like Squiggles is gonna get a bath.
Oh, no, Bai left again.
Wow, mom comes in and checks on Squiggles, sees she's sleeping, and goes back out. Or not...

MITS said...

don't wake a sleeping baby, Bai.

Suzanne said...

Op, there goes Squigs. Here comes Squiggles!!

Mema Jo said...

For once I get to see ButaButa wide awake and outside!
Squiggles is really growing - Mom just came back - thought she was going to move her - and so she did.
OUT THE DOOR

Suzanne said...

LOL, saw that, Mits. You're right, it couldn't have been rehearsed!

MITS said...

well, she didn't listen to me.

Suzanne said...

Ok, another view.

normabyrd said...

"ATLANTA BEAUTY" is rolling around under the logs---exercise time---"little black legs" going up & down--LUN LUN is loaded down with BAMBOO----Think little "BUG" is chewing on a piece too!!!

Suzanne said...

Guess mom decides when baby is hungry...
At least we see the new nursing spot.

MITS said...

Now, Lun is just eating the stalks of bamboo, and Buta was just drinking out of the big bowl

Mema Jo said...

ButaButa got hung up on the hammock

SD cam won't come up for me right now-pretty busy cam.

Mema Jo said...

Yes, Norma... ButaButa needs a tree!

MITS said...

she is all over the place, they call her the little black and white ninja......

Mema Jo said...

SD finally cam came on - See what you're saying about 'new view' I wonder if they can zoom... Gotta see that little girl up close......

MITS said...

would be nice...

normabyrd said...

I finally got in SD---Poor lil' SQUIGGLE sitting alone in the corner---or is asleep sitting up in the corner!!!-----I have trouble lots of time gettin into see her!!!--Thought it was ME!!!

Mema Jo said...

ButaButa went outside.
Climbing all over the logs...& exploring.

MITS said...

uh-oh,,,,here comes trouble Buta is going to jump on Lun in hammock

Suzanne said...

Mits, that's funny about the little black and white ninja. Too cute. Bai nursing Squiggles again, same corner.

Mema Jo said...

That is really ROUGH fight-play those 2 are doing!

MITS said...

there is some serious playtime in Atlanta

normabyrd said...

The ATLANTA PANDAS are really putting on a SHOW---LITTLE BUTA is a FIESTY little thing!!!----She holds her own!!!!

Mema Jo said...

That one had to jolt ButaButa

MITS said...

NORMA, she is a FEMALE version of Tai Shan.

Suzanne said...

Wow, I just checked the links on Lisa's webpage. Felix just flew 31 hours non-stop, on his first migration trip! They said they never had a tagged bird do that. Sure makes interesting reading if you get a chance!

Mema Jo said...

LunLun just won't let ButaButa get to a safe place........

normabyrd said...

HEY KIDS----Haven't see any DIVERS yet----Have you all???

Mema Jo said...

MITS Lun Lun is a bit too much or is she?

Suzanne said...

Oh, Bai has Squiggles in her mouth again, and there they go back to the den.

Suzanne said...

No, here they come back...

Suzanne said...

Norma, I closed that cam a little while ago. Didn't see any divers today, though.

normabyrd said...

OH YEAH!!!--I have always thought it would be COOL to see how he would react to this little ROMPER!!
He would probably ignore her---until she jumped up on him!!!---ho!

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---I noticed LISA'S charts & want to check them out!!!---Remember last year we followed a couple OSPREYS on their journey---It was on ANIMAL PLANET---or another nature show on TV!!!!!

Suzanne said...

Yeah, I remember, Norma. Forget the poor guy's name, but they think he was shot while fishing at a fishery, or whatever they're called. But this one osprey went for 31 straight hours, straight line to Bermuda! That is amazing!!!

normabyrd said...

I SEE SQUIGGLES in the corner again!!----She must have SASSES BAI!!!! (ho)

MITS said...

Jo, it will get rougher, Buta is scrappy.

MITS said...

OUCH!!!!!!!!FALL DOWN GO BOOM!!!!

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---Doesn't that blow your mind just thinking how strong that drive must be to keep flying!!!

MITS said...

LUN looks like a linebacker for the Atlanta FALCONS.

paula eagleholic said...

Mits -

Thanks, Paula

regards,

John Grey

editor

normabyrd said...

OH MEMA JO----I have watched them "ROCK & ROLL" before & BUTA BUTA usually holds her own!!!--I thinks she ENJOYS it too much to tire!!!!----

Mema Jo said...

Well they are both getting a good workout.. I am sure this afternoon will be Panda Napping time. I don't know how many times LunLun dropped or left ButaButa fall Maybe they are finished now.

Suzanne said...

Norma, I find it amazing. For this guy's first migration south, to go that far in that amount of time WITHOUT STOPPING. Just absolutely amazing.
Sure wish I could get Atlanta, sounds like they're having a rollicking good time!

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE--SAFE JOURNEY---ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL SCENERY ALONG THE WAY!!!---LOVE to GYPSY & FRIENDS!!!!!

normabyrd said...

MITS----BUTA BUTA plays for the COWBOYS----That's why she always WINS!!!-----KIDDIN'

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE....

I hope I'm in time to catch Suzanne, Wanda and Robyn again this morning and say "Hi"

Jim

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jim. Have a great day today, beautiful here!
Norma, leaves are starting to turn, noticed last night going home. But some are just turning brown and falling, we need more rain! But the ride home does get beautiful this time of year, that's for sure!!

Suzanne said...

Frieda checking eggs under her!

Suzanne said...

Looks like Bai took Squiggles back in the den. Nope, here she comes out again.
Time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle/panda day.
Hope our eagle show up tonight!
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

movin said...

WHAT HAPPENED! I was watching baby Panda sleeping right outside the door to the den. Then I looked away for a few seconds, and when I looked back, she had disappeared.

Jim

movin said...

It has been solved... Squiggles isn't Squiggles anymore. Squiggles is now the mad creeper.

Her eyes must be open and all of a sudden she can walk ... fast ... and she can sit up like a big Panda in the corner. Phenomenal in so short a time.

Jim

MITS said...

Jim, Squiggles will not be able to walk for quite a few more months. Think you are probably seeing Bai Yun sitting in the corner, nursing squiggles.:):):)

MITS said...

Yep, its hard to tell at that angle, but, that is Bai Yun sitting in the corner of the outer den nursing Squigs.

movin said...

Thanks, Mits, I'll take your word for it.

That is a baffling perspective, and the wall to the left looks just like the bottom of a glass door with a small Panda sitting near the bottom.

Jim

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' JIM----I have written you about 3 messages----DARN COMPUTER would not post!!!!----Let me try again-----

normabyrd said...

POSTED----So---how are you feeling "RETIRED PERSON"----Are you finished with all your paper work or still having Dr. visits!!!
Wondered if you were watching "THE WAR" film?----KEN BURNS---WWII---You remember--ARCHIE BUNKER--always referred to it as the "BIG WAR"---

normabyrd said...

WHOA JIM!!---Been reading your conversation with MITS----Maybe you aren't "with the program" yet!!!----You can't tell SQUIGGLES & BAI apart???----How many fingers am I holding up?---KIDDIN'

normabyrd said...

AWWWW!----The little "ATLANTA BEAUTY" has had a BUSY MORNING & now is asleep on the top log!!!!

MITS said...

watch it, Norma. Jo might send Jim the "cane".:):):)

paula eagleholic said...

Mema Jo said...

Mema Jo said...

Mema Jo said...

normabyrd said...

MITS said...

movin said...

Hi, Norma,
Would the answer to your question be "14"??

Jim

movin said...

The buzzards have returned to BW.

Jim

movin said...

Now 3 buzzards...

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, was just 3 eewwiieee's at BW

movin said...

One of the turkey vultures (more formal name) is resting facing the camera, so you can gaze upon it's beautiful face.

Jim

movin said...

Well, talk to you all later. Guess I'd better do some work around here.

Jim

normabyrd said...

HELEN----You won't---BET YOU WILL--believe what I did----I sent SUZANNE a post card for her to see SQUIGGLES as she was leaving----GUESS WHAT---I was teasing JIM about not knowing the difference between SQUIGGLES & BAI----WELL NEITHER DO I-----I SENT SUZ A pic of BAI feeding her young!!!!!!---50 WHACKS for that one!!!---JUST BURY ME------

paula eagleholic said...

EEwwiieee is back againg...really in and out today

paula eagleholic said...

LOL - out

Robyn said...

Is that another egg shell in Oz?

Mema Jo said...

Feeding time Down Under
2 eggs to go

Robyn said...

Well I still see just one, feeding time

Robyn said...

Hi Jo :), warm enough for you today? I am so ready for fall weather

Mema Jo said...

You guessed it - I had a panda nap..

Mema Jo said...

I enlarged the pic of our little Fluffy snoozin' against the other 2 eggs. Can't really see that there are any cracks in either of the 2 eggs

Mema Jo said...

Yes, Robyn - I want my weather of last week to come back quickly!!
I have stayed in today - You be sure to let Tori know that whatever goes
with the Math test - is to be. I know you're concerned and I know you'll do great in helping her accept whatever comes her way - She is one special trooper in my book - along with her mom!
Did you turn in your paper? Bet you got GOOD on it!

Robyn said...

Tori is here for supper, she is also catching up on her shows. She knows to do the best she can and whatever grade she gets is where she belongs.

I finished my paper sunday and got my grade today, 100 :). I don't know why I stress myself over written reports I always seem to a ace them, tests are another thing, I know all the info but suck at test taking...

Mema Jo said...

I thought we would have had another eyass by now.

Hopefully test scores don't control the final grades!

paula eagleholic said...

still one chick in OZ

Robyn said...

Oh no I pass with a B usually lol sometimes an A, I do better in my majors then electives. Holding 3.83 GPA. Hoping on a 4.0 this semester to raise the GPA :)

Robyn said...

I was going to ask if there was another egg hatching but I guess not.

Mema Jo said...

Well You sure are a welcomed new refreshing momster to our group and we hold you at a 4.0! I am glad when we get new bloggers and they like us so well that they 'Stick Around'!

We don't lose many, do we Paula? We must be doing something right!!

paula eagleholic said...

Yuppers :)

Right friendly group here!

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm..down under...

Robyn said...

YAY we have a 2nd one.

Thank you Jo, I'm not going anywhere

paula eagleholic said...

Robyn are you ravyn

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, #2!

Robyn said...

Yes Paula, a nickname I acquired about 13 yrs ago, I like Poe :)

Mema Jo said...

CRACKIN' EGGS!

YEAH! FOR FRIEDA!

2 down and 1 to go!

MITS said...

Ah, Robyn, Edgar Allen, a famous Baltimorian.

MITS said...

YEAAAAAAA!

paula eagleholic said...

Sent out some mail :)

Heading home to mow the yard....CU later!

Robyn said...

Mits, Tori has a fascination for Poe and the macabre

MITS said...

Robyn have you ever been to his gravesite?

Robyn said...

No but I believe every Halloween people converge to his burial site

MITS said...

Well, someone goes on his birthday, think it is in Jan or Feb and leaves a half dozen red rose and some cognac on his gravesite. Nobody has seen the person, and they think the original delivery person has passed on and a family member is keeping up the tradition.

Robyn said...

I've read about that too. He was one oddball. I have a book with every story, poem, and everythng else he wrote. Tori got a hold of it one day and fell in love with his works.

Robyn said...

Here it is Mits,

http://www.eapoe.org/balt/
poegrave.htm

Halloween tour of the cemetery and catacombs (Halloween night)

It is a tour they do of the graveyard

That would be fun to attend

MITS said...

GOT SOME OF MY FACTS INCORRECT, ROBYN.....Since 1949, writer Edgar Allan Poe's Baltimore grave has been visited every year by a mystery man in the early hours of Poe's birthday, January 19th. The man, described as an elderly gentleman draped in black with a silver-tipped cane, kneels at the grave for a toast of Martel cognac and leaves the half-full bottle and three red roses.
