Well Suzanne That pretty much was my trip to NCTC, unless I have some rich uncle who dies and leaves me a fortune for travel and enables me to retire. Otherwise for me I use my vactaion time and travel money mostly to see my kids. I did need to see that nest and meet many of you too though so yes I did make the trip. Perhaps someday when I retire if the finances stay at all capable to do some traveling I will come again. Do you suppose we will all still be a watching this cam and these eagles and their young....oh my what a thought that is LOL. We can go to Lib and Belles tree, stop by to see Big Boy and family, swing on over to Ms. In Between, and then just sit there and absorb all the happenings at Spunky's place. Fun thoughts.
OK got to unpack and do some laundry today for sure. A few groceries are also in order.
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!!----BEAUTIFUL "RAINY" DAY IN WV!!---The temp. is 61°---GREAT to see you are home safely GLO & VICKY!!-----You all, along with LOVELY ANNE MARIE & her GRANDDAUGHTER all made this day SPECIAL!!!---ENJOY THIS RAINY DAY----& PRAYERS for all the folks in SD!!!!----SEE YOU LATER---MUST GO DANCE IN THE RAIN!!--KIDDIN'----HELEN---Blow Kisses to the "LITTLE PRINCE" for me!!!!!!!
ANNE MARIE---If you are home---DON'T FORGET your "CURLERS & EGGS"!--ho!---LATER---Did HEIDI GIRL recognize you?!!!!
Morning, Norma! Have a good day, and I'll blog at you tomorrow!
Ok, Glo, ya never know, things may change and you can get out here again. But I like your idea of just chillin' at Spunky's house! That would be cool.
Mits, are you still here? Is that Tai in a tree? He looks like he's at the top of it!
ATLANTA PANDA CAM is down again today for more maintenance
Thanks, Mits. DARN!
Fish crow in BW.
I'm pretty sure that is him, Suzanne
Wow, he's about as high as he can get! Close up now, he's sound asleep. That is adorable!
Oh, he just woke up. Looks comfy, though, doesn't he? Just sitting back watching the world go by. Lucky panda!
Here he comes down!
Bai is playing with Squiggles, too cute.
My, he's careful! Ops, down we are. Off to explore.
guess he got hungry.....WHERE IS CANDY???
Mits, he is so funny! Now he's comfy, thought he was gonna use the bamboo as a blanket! He sure is laid back!
Haven't heard from Candy all week. Hope she's ok! She was visiting her son this weekend, did she come on at all Sunday? She usually comes on in the early morning, but not this week yet.
Oops, dropped the bamboo. Ok, just get down to get it, but think he lost interest by the time he got back down. Off to other adventures...
Awwwwwww, back to the red ring.
I just can't believe how he has grown.
he's almost fully grown, isn't he?
Good Drizzly Morning Thought I would come on in even though I haven't read all the comments! I could say something wrong & get in trouble by doing that. Emails will need to wait!
I have not received an email response from Candy yet.. Hope we hear from her soon. Like Norma said - I am hoping Anne pops in to let us know she and Diana are home.
Mits What's the fire report? Anything new?
he will be fully grown and sexually mature around 4 to 5 years.
checked about an hour ago, Jo, no new update yet, but still real early out there, but they have been really good on the updates.
still no new update. No news is good news.
Does he continue to grow in size up to sexual maturity?
Morning, Jo! Enjoy this drizzly day.
YES, he does, only around 153 lbs. now, his Dad is around 285.
Oh wow, he's got a way to go, then. Back in the tree we go...
looks like he is trying to trim branches
Morning, all. Just getting online...went to an "Emergency Preparedness Seminar" this morning. Lots of good info on how to prepare for an emergency, either business or home. Most people think it's not going to happen to them...but look at the CA fires...life comes at you fast!
First thing to do is to make a plan!
I am getting a glimpse of the 2 sister OTTERS on the cam.
Morning, Paula. Share your new knowledge, sounds interesting.
Tai has what looks like a styrofoam plate or something. Was carrying it around, just sorta dropped it.
Mits, looks like it's raining again. Hope you stay dry this afternoon, or at least as dry as you can.
Camera found the fishing cat!!!
Yup, still raining. You can see the rain hitting the water where Tai is drinking.
Swimmer on the Bonaire cam, lots of little fish under him. Cool.
Smokeys are all fogged in now.
Cam 1A had the Sloth bear in view.
So, I have taken my Asia Trail excursion for the day!
Oh! Cam 2A has the Sloth bear mother and the cub in view.
raining there, not here.
Hi Paula There is extensive planning for businesses as I remember
Thankful now for computers with backup disc and not all those paper records. However, without power those paper records are needed!
GOOD MORNING, SUZ, MITS, MEMA JO, NORMA, GLO & PAULA........
AND TO ALL OUR WEDNESDAY BLOGGERS.
JIM
Morning, Jim. See those fires haven't slowed down any! They are saying the wind is gonna change, so maybe that will help the fire fighters! Are you alright?
No, Suzanne, I'm just listening to the news on AM (jazz station carries little news), and the winds have died down, they're getting many of the fires on closer control now.
It's not over, but it's getting better.
No, my area of Santa Ana is not threatened this trip.
Jim
Fox News just had a San Diego Zoo update. Basically nothing has changed.
Glad to hear that, Jim...and Jill! Hope the animals will continue to be alright and out of the path of the fires! You too of course, Jim!!
Good morning out there to you Jim.
Jill - I thought you were going to try to sleep all day! lol
Eagle in BW! Looking right at ya!
Time for me to hit the road. I'm tired and have to get gas and do some stuff tonight before I can even take a panda nap. Ugh.
All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Mits, have a good afternoon on Asia Trail today!
thanks, Suzanne....later everyone:).
Great news. Little Sammie is home from the hospital and doing good. She has been told about her father's death and seems to be dealing with it okay. Keep her in your prayers for complete healing. She will still need therapy for her legs. Oh and she had 2 broken arms instead of one. Poor Baby.
See you later Suz & Mits
Thanks Jim for the pics of Dolly's stroll on the ledge.
Jill, thanks for the news about the little one.. She is going to have a long haul with all those breaks. I hope that Tiffany is doing ok.
Eagles in nest
Eagle Alert Liberty, I think
Glo What is up at the 12:00 position?
they are both there one at almost noon other in the middle
they both came in together about 6 after the hour
2 eagle in nest look at 12 o'clock feet
Cam is acting up!!!!
Bye Suzanne
Hi Glo, Paula, Mits, Jo, Jim, Norma and others.
Thanks! I thought I was seeing things.... Like a SPUNKY thing
I wish the one at 12 o'clock would move more towards us so we can see it. I don't see any white????
I guess they are checking out the degree of 'wetness' as to how many dry leaves to bring! I surely wish our cam could have been tilted upward a bit so we could see Liberty in his favorite perch.
Cam appears stuck at 12 18 35 darn
Who has the "remote" in their hand??? You Jo??? Well move the cam around some OK ( :
Dana I first posted at 6 after the other I did see 2 adults Both came in together almost collided actualy by the shot i got of that one.
Maybe we will see the white tail at the 1200 position. I was also looking for some white.
Glo saw them both come in
Can really see the golden feet!!
DENVER we have a problem here!!!!
ooops there it goes So glad LOL
The cam is going but I have those
wavy lines
Nice long visit have actually been there since about 12:02.
I love the side profile of an eagle
Weagle alert? Or is cam up?
I have 3 or 4 nice early ones I will send along later Back to working for me now...Keep a snapping those good photos
Euwie alert at BW.
If you couldn't see his talons, you would never be able to spot Liberty
Eagle in our nest!!!!!!!1
JIM Our cam is up
Belle in the center and look for Liberty's talons at his perch up at 12:00 position
Know what you mean about snapping the good ones - Glo.
LOL, Guess it's better late than never!!!
3 eewwwiiess at BW too
Always better late then never!!!
I did the same thing as you - It is good to repeat at times!
Jo - Well - I don't wait to refresh the blog and read back and see if people posted - I just post it!
Well Beautiful Belle Is certainly just sitting there looking absolutely gorgeous.
Eagle at BW - chased away the eewwiiiess
Change of the guard at BW.
That's what you should do when it is an Eagle Alert.
They have been there for a half hour
Guess it is too wet to go fishing lol
She sure is beautiful...
Beautiful Belle has not moved from her spot!
LOl- eagle at BW gets a new "do" everytime he turns his head!
Well I think I have decided to just go ahead and post it too. Sometimes I have not known whether to do that or not but Can always delete it or leave it. Its kind of neat to see how excited folks get when they spot the nest has a visitor or two. The more excited posts the merrier.
Actually, I did read 2-3 comments before the Weagle Alert, but all I saw was a description of lines and cam troubles.... Sorry.
Jim
Lib has turned a little more to the left now
Wonder what they are both so intently watching? Could someone run on over there and check it out ? I now know how close some of you live, and for some what a distance you do travel even for those who consider themselves to be sort of "local". Ahh to live within an hour of there would be priceless, even with what I do get to see here 3 months or so out of the year.
On the move??
Well now we are up and alert..
Probably telling Liberty to go get the lunch!
Still on the lookout...but don't appear to be calling out...just watching...
Jim Your post is one of those excited great ones to read. If they stay long enough , someone else is gonna come in and say the same thing....Bet ya :)
We just want to let folks know quickly!!!
Nice pic, Belle...
AWESOME _ RIGHT UNDER THE CAM
Getting dark at Pete's place. You can see an electrical storm in the background, and it is either raining on the pond, or the fish are very active after the insects tonight.
Jim
Now she is up by Lib at Noon spot
Is that lunch or just something brown in the nest?
Now only one left....poking around the nest
I am wondering about lunch too...appears to be eating.
Jill Just something brown Leaf-like
Or was realling checking out the fluff needs in the nest....
Looks like leaves now
Eagle sitting on edge of nest at #1 position
Eagle gone at BW
This has been a one hour long eagle fix viewing...
I need to get lunch and will return to see if our friends got any.
BBL
Liberty is still perched at #1 on the nest edge
both back again
Yup, looks like Lib is back at 12 and Belle is in the nest...
Belle is gone again, Lib still perched at Noon
MT NEST
More than a dozen elephants slurping and bathing at Pete's Pond now.
Jim
Otter Sisters are napping

Clouded leopard sleeping behind a log
Click on above link..........
Not fully visible but he is there..
Jim I got to Pete's Pond only in time to see the last of the elephants leaving. Looks like a whooper of a storm brewing - spectacular lightning!
Both Kent eagles are there 1 in nest and 1 up on limb
WE HAVE ANOTHER VISITOR
Kent Eagles putting on a show
Our eagle seems to be cleaning up the nest a little
EMAIL FROM ANNE
Well, I home in body but not in spirit. I crawled into bed and got 6 hours sleep. I'm at work but a little numb. I will tell you all about it later but it was a wonderful trip. My biggest complaint was it wasn't long enough. Just too much to see and too little time. It was memories for a lifetime.
Just had an email from Tiffany. Sammie's bones are healing quickly. Her heart is broken because she understands her dad is gone but she seems to have accepted it. Tiffany asked me to thank all those who prayed for her and everyone involved. Keep praying for little Sammie that she doesn't have any set backs but all seems to be moving along fine at this point. She told her mother she couldn't wait to get back to cheerleading. She doesn't realize that it will be quite awhile before she is ready for that.
I was just getting ready to go back to the shop and thought I would check out the nest---glad I did!
JILL--Tiffany will need a lot of prayers also. She has a long road ahead of her being a Mom & Nurse and Therapist for little Sammie.
Thanks for the follow-up information, Jill. I bet that young lady will surprise us all in her recovery - sounds like she is strong willed!
Wanda - They have been here off and on since noontime.........
5am in Brisbane and the color is on..
Dolly in corner sleeping
Yes Wanda Tiffany needs our prayers too. She said she has a great support system helping her out while she goes back to school and finishes her nursing degree. But a few extra prayers won't hurt. And little Sammie is strong willed Jo. Doesn't know the meaning of the word can't.
Post from San Diego Wild Life Park
As of 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, October 24, the Wild Animal Park has started assessment and clean up efforts from the fire and wind damage. Of the over 3,500 animals that reside at the Park, two animals (a clapper rail and a kiang) were lost due to complications from the fire. More than 600 acres surrounding the Wild Animal Park were burned. These were open buffer zone areas and not exhibit space.
The California condors and other endangered bird species, as well as other mammals, have been returned to their homes while others are in the process of being moved.
The rest of the animals remain safe, secure, and have weathered the firestorm well. The Wild Animal Park did lose one of the empty condor breeding facilities to the fire as well as a storage facility containing Festival of Lights event materials. Winds have damaged trees throughout the Park, but again the animals and exhibits have weathered the storm. A core group of employees is on hand to care for the wildlife. Other employees and some contractors are currently assisting with clean up and restoration efforts.
That is all so tragic. Glad to hear for the most part the animals faired well. One loss is one too many and I am heairng but not at all sure that perhaps some of this Fire was intentionally set. Gosh I really hope that isn't so. I certainly wish I lived closer to that Wildlife Park.
Thnaks fo rthe update Jill.
Eagle at BW
Hadn't heard about any intentional fire setting in CA yet - Geesh, I hope that isn't the case. I had heard they thought most was started by downed power lines from the wind...
I don't see an eagle at this time in our nest.
Glad to hear little Sammie is starting to recover. I will keep her and her Mom in my thoughs.
Thank You Message for all of you for whatever your part in Oct 20, 2007
Eagle at BW looks like a painting with the drops on the cam...
Some fires were from downed power lines, others are believed to be arson. They have a guy in custody who they caught trying to set another fire. Like they don't have enough.
GLO Your message was utterly special ! Loved it and
You're Welcome - Was our pleasure to have you visit!
Dolly is really looking hard over that ledge
After the refresh - Dolly is no where in sight
Getting really windy out now - guess the rest of the rain is headed our way..
Dolly is back...
Jo - Did you mean Glo sent an "udderly" special message?? :):)
Click on Glo's blue lined post 7 posts up from this one.

Good evening, my eagle buddies. Been busy this week with working and going for jury duty. Love having that civic duty to interrupt my days - NOT! Oh well.
It has been raining most of the day here in Bluefield. So badly needed, that is for sure. My dogs love getting in it and coming back in soaking wet, especially Buphals - he is such a water dog except when it comes to a bath.
Mits and Nilla, thanks for the pics of this evening. I missed them.
This weekend, I have to help Thelma move. That is going to be a really sad time but it is going to be good for her, I pray.
Next week, Andrew is going to Columbus for a "Percussive Arts Society International Convention" or PASIC to those in the know. I am going to Ripley next weekend for my twice a year weekend away. Really looking forward to it.
Returned from dinner - Thanks Mits & Nilla for the pics from their last visit. I still have some to place in for today's noon time visit...
Looks like rain the rest of the week now - Fires seem to be under control in San Diego area.
Liberty & Belle are going to get
on to you, Mits!
I didn't even think to take a pic this afternoon when the Juvie and the Adult eagles were on the platform at BW! DUH!
Hi Sharon! You are a busy gal!
Sharon - sorry to hear that Thelma is moving - will she be far?
But glad to hear you are getting away for the weekend....and isn't jury duty fun!
Yeah, those little buggers, know me, Jo.....Hello, Sharon:).
I don't mean to BUT when I look at Dolly looking at us... I have to laugh!
Hello Mits.
Paula, Thelma is moving about 45 minutes away. The town is Draper, between here and Roanoke, VA. More opportunities for her with her career and hopefully a fresh start to her life. I pray it all works out for her.
I just realized 2 months from today is Christmas Eve...
I am not touching your comment, Mits with a 10 foot pole. But thanks for the heads up!!!
Can't I just get past Zach's birthday before starting Christmas?????????? LOL Thanks Mits.
Yeah, but just think, there will be more regular visits to the nest by then
BBILW
:)
MITS--Think of all the Christmas presents you will have to buy now with 2 grandbabies. Better get started. LOL
Sharon - 45 minutes is not that far...you'll still be able to visit with each other.
We will absolutely still visit each other. She is family so we will definitely be visiting.
I think that Dolly has her own Kids Meal & feeding herself
Hi Sharon--Is Andrew liking college this year? Does he find it more interesting than High School and what is he studying?
Andrew is loving college. He is in Music Education. He had a recital yesterday on tympani and it was wonderful. He is even taking piano lessons!
I would have loved to learn to play the piano....My Mother sent me to dancing school instead.
I guess dancing shoes were cheaper than a piano.LOL
Hey JIM, how about an update on the fires. Saw some terrible video on TV earlier today. They said the Santa Ana winds were going to die down tonight and that should help.
Wanda do you have any Spiderman costumes?
Dolly looks like she had too much to drink and flopped up against the wall with one eye open.
Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feather and fur! Hope you all have a very restful night and a wonderful day tomorrow.
Wanda, don't know what I will buy them, Molly will not need any clothes..she will have Maggies, but I will get her a few special things. What is with the e-mail follow up comments to my e-mail address above the publish your comments?????? Never have seen that before! GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!
Coming in to say
Good Night
Peace to You & Yours
Good morning early birds
I found Candy!! She is still stuck in her emails! Should be on soon
I don't know about that Mits...I see it now also....why would I email my comments to myself???
Anyhoo, about time for bed here...
G'nite, all
JILL---No Spiderman. Have Batman, Superman and The Flash (Adult & Children).
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP WELL
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY/GOOD MORNING SUZANNE AND THE OTHER EARLY BLOGGERS...
Wanda, yes, the winds have subsided today and are turning around to the SW, which is the normal onshore direction. The humidity is in the 30's now instead of 6-8%. Temps should stay in the 80's for at least one more day.
Generally, the firestorms have done a tremendous amount of damage, and they could do more if they turn into unburned areas, but the worst is over, and fire fighters are getting them under some kind of control now.
The air is heavy with smoke yet, and the stuff that blew out to sea (and Catalina, according to Steffi' report today...great pics of Channel Islands this week.) is now blowing back onshore and inland. The moon and even daytime sun light looks very peculiar when filtered through that junk! Just went outside and took a look at the full moon...I've seen darker orange moons but this one is a pale orange with a large orange halo tonight. Can still smell the smoke in the air.
[Geraniums and Bougainvillea
really appreciate a good chug of tap water and a spritz on the leaves in this kind of weather...I could hear them whispering "thank you, thank you" ... as I left this evening.]
Stairways, walkways, driveways and cars have a nasty layer of cinders and other fallout all over them....
It must be very traumatic to have to leave your home to the mercies of a raging firestorm. I think all those people could probably use a prayer in behalf of them.
Rest easy, we'll talk tomorrow.
Jim
GOOD MORNING, SUZANNE...
JIM
