MORNIN' STEVEN & PAULA!!!----It's gotten warmer---now 30°---But it is a GORGEOUS DAY!!----ENJOY!!!---PAULA---Check the photograph of the beautiful RED FOX posted at BW!!!!
MORNING JO & ROBYN!!---JO--That usually happens to me!!!----after I have written an EPIC!!--ho!---ROBYN---Does that mean you lost your nephews---ho!---They sat beside us at dinner when we ate at RUMSEY'S TAVERN---My daughter commented how well mannered they were!!!---She's a teacher & notices those things!!!--
The ATLANTA PANDAS are up & moving around their lawn----Such fun when LUN LUN purposely "bumps" the "LITTLE BEAUTY"----but this a.m.---the little one seems to be ignoring LUN LUN!!!----BUSY EXPLORING!!!
Mornin' eagle lovers. BRRRR - another cold one. It was 23 at my house this AM. Megan - I once ordered some coyote urine to keep critters away from my plants. It sort of worked til it rained. I always wondered how they got the urine, then I read somewhere that they trap the coyotes, cage them in mesh cages and collect the urine that comes out of the bottom of the cage. I never got bought any more after reading that.
CAROL---How's the weather in PENDLETON----You probably have read the latest---LION IN GREENBRIER!!----A bow-hunter swears he saw a full grown--250-300 lbs. African lion!!---Another hunter reported same thing to DNR--spotted on Cold Knob Mt. -DNR has spent 7 days---Left 20 lbs. raw chicken---was eaten--(didn't really prove anything)---Then set up $5,000 camera----Next a.m. someone had put a sheet of paper over lens & later rewound the tape!!---DNR has wind down the hunt-------Another group, TIGER MT. REFUGE, called it quits too---They say "Lions are very vocal animals & can be heard from 5 miles away."
CAROL----I didn't know you were on the blog!!!----That's interesting about the coyote urine---Wondered how they did that too------You certainly are very knowledgeable about on all our nature questions---Did you study that in school---
Norma - I had not heard that latest news on the African lion. So - are the "experts" thinking there is no lion, because it hasn't been heard? That is strange about the camera! To answer your question - I did not study "nature" in school. I got my Bachelors degree in Home Economics and Interior Design. And here I sit on top of a mountain in rural WV, doing accounting for a non-profit organization with projects in Asia and Peru. Go figure!! My limited knowledge of "nature" has been acquired as a result of my interest.
Hello to everybody I haven't spoken to since early this morning. I've been really busy on the other computer, and have only glanced at cams every once in a while. I've missed the whole day, didn't realize it was so late. Have Squiggles up and she is scooting all around in circles, and using her hind legs too. Sorta. She tries, but falls on her face, but she's sure trying!!! Pulling with those front paws. Look at her little chubby butt go! Oh my, apologize, hi to everyone. there she goes again, pushing with hind legs, pulling with front feet and head. Too funny. Hope you all have a great day. Be back to say good-bye in a few minutes.
Hi Jim, I'm here, just haven't been blogging or watching. I'm watching Squiggles now, she's just scooting all over the place! Too cute. Oh, she almost was up on all 4s. Won't be long, I guess.
Wow, I thought we were foggy here in Santa Ana (foggiest lately during the day as I've seen it in a long time. They have it right on the beach areas more often though.) But then I took a peek at Kent!
Hi guys. No Jim, didn't read the vet report on Squiggles, hopefully I will have time tomorrow to catch up a little...on my blogging and cam viewing! Thanks Jim and Norma, Gypsy will get pats...and the others...they pull numbers now on whose turn it is to get petted! Anyway, time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly! Oh, Squiggles wore herself out, she's sound asleep. If ya see Jo, tell her there were 2 owls in the hotel this morning, and remind me, I'll send her a couple pics. No time at the moment. Blog at ya'll tomorrow.
Floral girl, Try ultra-sonic or scent warnings to ward off the deer...if they're smelling or hearing wolf or mountain lion in the area (Maybe get a big, male dog to mark the territory), they probably will think thrice before entering the marked territory.
You're right, Norma. I don't remember my own teething (I could use another one, by the way), but I do recall a lot of younger kids in the family and neighborhood.
CAROL---I have CNN on---I must have missed it!!!----They usually repeat a few times---ho!---I wasn't here yesterday------ Back to the Lion---DNR OFFICER said his office will follow up on future reports about the animal---But efforts to capture it on video has come to an end----(doubt the lion covered the lens & rewound the tape?)--??---HEY CAROL---You can help BELLE & LIBERTY rearrange their sticks!!---ho!---Aren't they fun to watch!!
OK - everyone - this is weird, but I'll tell you all because you are friends. When I was married and we tried to have a garden where we lived (6 miles up a dirt road), we tried all kind of remedies to keep the deer away. We even tried peeing around the garden for a couple of weeks - but that didn't work either. We finally came to the conclusion that the only thing that would keep them out of the garden was a ball of lead! But, even then, you had to be on guard 24/7.
It was a really old farmhouse which did not have indoor plumbing - so we had an outhouse. I'm not sure how far the garden was from the house, but it was about the same distance from the house as the outhouse, so we just went to the garden instead (for #1 only!). No unusual visitors, Paula. But it did not stop the ususal ones - deer, groundhogs, rabbits.
Hi again, browser crashed, I laid down to try to compensate for my poor posture at the computer...didn't fall asleep this time; did solve most of the Western World's problems.
Hi, Norma, I did pick a name from the four for Squiggles, but I am not really happy with the choices...someone suggested "Bright Star" before the four were published, and I thought that was pretty good.
Carol, have you seen the movie "Doc Hollywood"? Where they were running around the forest down south peeing everywhere so the deer would stay away from some hunter's blind?
When we first moved to Del Mar Terrace, fresh from Minnesota where everybody had a garden, we planted for several years, and all the rows of various vegetables would grow well, until one fateful night when the local Cottontails found them.... ate every green thing down to the ground!!
We would try to salvage what we could...onions, radishes, carrots, potatoes, etc., and the "new" vegetables would taste really good. But we would only get enough for a few days' meals, and that would be it.
Jim - I have not seen that movie. My experience indicates that they were peeing in vain. Since you have solved most of the Western World's problems - have you considered running for President?
Jim - When I moved to the house where I live now, rabbits devastated my garden the first year. The second year, I got a .22 rifle and I devastated 2 rabbits - but I missed way more than those 2. So, then I got 2 cats and have had cats ever since. I hardly ever see a rabbit anymore - but in those early years of the "cats & rabbits war", I had a hard time listening to the baby rabbits screeching when the cats discovered their nest.
Carol, next Wed. I'll be going past Seneca Rocks and I'll throw you a wave. I'll be up on Cheat Mountain for 10 days hunting with my binoculars. Sure hope I don't run into that LION.
Hi all you momsters. I can't be on the blog all the time, it's hard to catch this mouse while it's in the hand of a TIGER. I do lurk a lot. Guess you should call me Capt. Lurk....
Tiger is back and wants her mouse to play with. Gotta get Eagle Talons ready for the eeeeerrrssss game tonight. Enjoy the game Norma. Go...eeeeerrrrssss!!!
OK, enough of the running as a vice-president stuff!! Give him a mouse and he goes crazy. Now you know why I don't let him have the mouse very often. LOL
Wanda - I'd rather see a ticket of Jim & Gene over any of the other potential candidates. I think having regular citizens, rather than politicians, for Pres & VP would be an interesting experiment.
CAROL--I don't want any parts of that White House!! Seriously...who on earth is out there running, that would do a good job? I couldn't vote for any of them.
Wanda - I hear you about the White House and the candidates. I am really worried about this country. I feel like something really bad is going to happen with economy.
Barely caught thenm myself. Guess they're visiting before dark, maybe they'll be back. BBL- gotta put some stuff away outside before dark, which is approaching quickly.
Good morning, world, happy Friday! Finally. Chilly out, but not as cold as they predicted, and no rain, at least so far. 38° at my house, 39° here at work. Today is dress down day, and I have a gazillion layers on, so the cold will not bother me tody. I am wearing my IWS hoodie, and have a turtle neck under that that I got from National Wildlife Federation, and it has an eagle on the neck. So I have 2 eagles today. Cool. Opened my cams, Bai and Squiggles are asleep, but it looks like they fixed their light in the den, you can actually see both of them very clearly. Tai is asleep all curled in a ball, nobody showing on cam 1, and I have some different birds or something on Africam. Wish I knew the wildlife over there, gonna have to learn it. There is a deer in PA, strolling off the cam, but looks like they've added a salt lick. Deer is now back. Oh, yeah, checking out the salt lick and around it. Well dang, just lost pic, and did a refresh, now a different view, and salt lick is gone. So don't know what that other cam was. Oh, read yesterday they have 2 cams, one is motion sensor, shuts off main cam if other cam comes on. So, that's the one with the salt lick. Deer must have left so no more motion. Ok, all have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly. Oh, great pic on our cam, let's hope both Lib and Belle show up this morning!
Aww, Squiggles is waking up, and mom Bai rolled over and is snuggling her now. So cute! But Squiggles is not quite comfy, she's still wiggling! Bai's not moving. Pic is kinda out of focus, they replaced the IR light, but now it's fuzzy. But clear enough you can see the babies! Guess Squiggles is comfy now, she's between Bai's paws near her tummy.
Hi Jim. Yup, so much for being warm! Just got back in, but at least it's not raining, and the wind isn't blowing this time. Geesh, 2 out of 3 weeks, and it's only gonna get colder. Sure hope they figure out what is causing these loud crashes, so the alarm doesn't keep going off! Well, if you went back to bed, sleep tight. Talk to you later. I gotta get warm now, get a cuppa!!
Yes they did Butterfly! It's called "beaking" and I think that's what they were doing! Nice to see them reaffirming their relationship with each other!
Squiggles was sleeping alone, but mom Bai just came back and is picking Squiggles up to nurse. She's such a good mommie. Oh, ok, well, Squigs isn't nursing, and Bai has her rolled up in a ball under her tummy, and Bai is laying on top of her. They're snuggling. Belle is still hanging out just being beautiful.
OH ugh! Thought it would start earlier and I'd have to drive into work in it. Glad I don't have to now! Hopefully, nothing will stick, ground is still kinda warm.
Yeah, it would be interesting to know what she's thinking.
Morning Dana, I'm sure the roads wil be fine - it's mostly turning to drizzle before it hits the ground. Hope so anyway - 4x4 is at work and I'll have drive the Mustang today.
With the 30 sec refresh it looks like between each refresh sometimes they are just sitting there. I always wonder if they are or if they are picking at sticks.
I sure hope you ladies keep that rain/snow up your way. I came south to get away from it. My sister told methat her boys in Buffalo and Syracuse had some the other day, and they may get some in Lower NY today. Brrrrrr. It is cold enough down here for me now without snow.
From the sounds of it, you ladies have been watching the eagles for quite awhile this mornng in the nest. I guess I'll have to start getting up earlier and watching from home and not wait to get to school. I am so glad that they keep comng back.
Butterfly, your mother is MIA this morning! She doesn't usually sleep this late, hope everything is alright! She's missing Belle think about rearranging, then actually doing it. Butterfly, if I don't talk to you, have a great day and a wonderful weekend! Candy, don't like snow either, but don't think it's supposed to do much. I HOPE!!
I read where you all saw eagles at BW yesterday also, and one in Maine. How cool. I have the Pete's Pond cam on for the children at school as well as the pandas in the NZ. They love watching them during the day.
Good speed to Dolly/Hope. I see where she has fledged. Has anyone seen her return?
Hey WANDA! It is about time. I even got on before you again today. :) I just had to have a look at our eagles. I hope you have your coffed, so you don't have tomiss anymore.
You would think that they would huddle together to keep warm and cozy. I am sitting here freezing. Hate the thoughts of having to go on the playground for recess today. Still haven't gotten out my gloves and neck scarf. We get a good North wind blowing down.....Oh one left. Maybe she'll be back.
Oh sugar! I am going to have to get going to school. Kids will be in before I get there if I don't get started. You all have a very enjoyable day watching all the sites. I guess Belle is trying to beat me to school! I'll keep my eyes to the skies and you do the dame.
BOTH GONE. I guess they heard that I had to leave and didn't want me to be sad I was missing them.
My puter died this morning and it took 1/2 hour to get it resuscitated, but I did get on in time to see Lib and Belle. Missed chatting with Butterfly Mama.
Back for a sec, pics are gone. Turtles hanging out on Africam, first time I've seen them. Bai and Squigs sleeping. On panda on cam 1 eating, Tai on cam 2 sleeping. One owl in hotel, kinda watching entrance. Ok, back to work, blog later if time permits...
Good morning all. Off for Coffee and dg treats. No snow here. Looks like I missed agreat morning show. Stay warm and cheer on that lovely pair. I am goign serious TV shopping today. MTBR. I want one to hook my computer up to. Guess what I am going to watch LOL. I know I know I could just go buy a new bigger montor but I do actually watch TV some, very very little but cMAS is coming and there will be specials on. got a 60 day price guarantee, so may as well go now.
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---It's a cool rainy day in WV--TEMP 38° this a.m.---GOOD MORNING!--JIM--SUZANNE--KARLA--WANDA--DANA--CANDY--GLO & HELEN!!!----WVU WON--NOT ENOUGH TO GET BRAGGIN RIGHTS!! ho!!---Any WIN is good!!---I have been "lurking" this a.m.---Going to get in line for flu shot!!---Probably be back next week!!--KIDDIN'---SUZANNE probably has a SMILE on her face this a.m.---Not only is it TGIF---It's VETERAN'S DAY holiday on Mon.---She is a VETERAN TOO!!---SO VERY PROUD OF HER!!----HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY JIM!!!---He is also a VETERAN---PROUD OF YOU TOO!!!----ENJOY THIS WEEKEND!!!!----LIFE IS GOOD!!!
THANK YOU, MEGAN....for putting that in a tiny url....sent it out to some on my address list, still can't figure out how to do that tiny thingy, maybe some day after holidays I will sit down and take the time to learn some of this stuff:)
Thanks, Norma, for the comment on Veterans Day ... don't forget the birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps is November 10th (1775, Tuns Tavern, Philadelphia).
I hope everybody is having a happy weekend so far. Suzanne?? Getting warmed up?
I looked in on ATLANTA---All one can see is a "stream" of children passing by through a glass window!!---I bet they are probably seeing two "SLEEPING BEAUTIES"!!!
Thanks, Wanda. Thought I'd better come on before time to say good-bye! Been a busy week, but got a lot done, so that's a good thing.
I'm looking forward to the long weekend, off Monday for the holiday, and off Tuesday for 2 dental appointments. One in the AM, and one later in the afternoon, so not even gonna drive down here for a few hours. Will be back to work and (hopefully) cam watching on Wednesday!
Both Mai and Tian have just gotten their treats in the thingys with the holes in them. One is laying on the floor, one has the thing up on the rocks and is using her head to try and get them to come out the holes. These guys are a riot. Tai is asleep on his grate. Squiggles is asleep in the den all by her lonesome.
Oh, take pics if Lib and Belle show up over the weekend.
why that bully took Mei's treats away form her, Suz, Tian is usually the one who pushes the ball around with his head, Mei takes her time and lays on her back and savors every morsel.....I can hear Nichole calling Tai Shan...maybe she has some treats for him.

Jo, I never heard Tori whine s much as she did this past 11 days lol and she is the queen of whine
Hello Jo, Robyhn and Carol. I found that out too, Carol, and never bought it again, it didn't work for us anyway.
CAROL---How's the weather in PENDLETON----You probably have read the latest---LION IN GREENBRIER!!----A bow-hunter swears he saw a full grown--250-300 lbs.

I could use that lion to control my deer problem...

Good morning, everybody...
(is Suzanne not here today)
My cable has been disfunctionally functional for a couple of hours, and I just got off the phone with their service, and I AM BACK ON-LINE!
Jim
I saw Suzanne on the other thread, so I left her another note.
Jim
Hello to everybody I haven't spoken to since early this morning. I've been really busy on the other computer, and have only glanced at cams every once in a while. I've missed the whole day, didn't realize it was so late.
Have Squiggles up and she is scooting all around in circles, and using her hind legs too. Sorta. She tries, but falls on her face, but she's sure trying!!! Pulling with those front paws. Look at her little chubby butt go!
Oh my, apologize, hi to everyone.
there she goes again, pushing with hind legs, pulling with front feet and head. Too funny.
Hope you all have a great day. Be back to say good-bye in a few minutes.
Boy! Just about everybody is here today. Good Morning to you all.
Jim
Hi Jim, I'm here, just haven't been blogging or watching. I'm watching Squiggles now, she's just scooting all over the place! Too cute. Oh, she almost was up on all 4s. Won't be long, I guess.
Wow, I thought we were foggy here in Santa Ana (foggiest lately during the day as I've seen it in a long time. They have it right on the beach areas more often though.) But then I took a peek at Kent!
Jim
Hi, Suz...
Just in time to say "have a safe trip home and a happy day today."
Did you read the vet report on Squiggles? I wonder if Pandas start whining and tossing and turning when their teeth are breaking through.
Looks like everybody else has gone for a walk right now. Hahaha. Ironic.
Jim
SAFE JOURNEY HOME SUZANNE---LOVE PATS TO "G" & FRIENDS!!!!----ps--i think i started "the sky is falling in"!!----COOL TO BE MISSED--ho!!
Squiggles was on CNN this morning. They were talking about the voting to choose a name for her.
Morning, Norma,
How are you today?
Jim
I wonder how you might say "Squiggles" in Chinese!!????
Jim
JIM---SQUIGGLES probably acts like you & I did when we began "teething"---cross & "whinie"-----Can't you remember???
Hi guys. No Jim, didn't read the vet report on Squiggles, hopefully I will have time tomorrow to catch up a little...on my blogging and cam viewing!
Thanks Jim and Norma, Gypsy will get pats...and the others...they pull numbers now on whose turn it is to get petted!
Anyway, time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Oh, Squiggles wore herself out, she's sound asleep.
If ya see Jo, tell her there were 2 owls in the hotel this morning, and remind me, I'll send her a couple pics. No time at the moment. Blog at ya'll tomorrow.

Norma, we never studied nest building and decorating in any of my Interior Design classes. lol
The Squiggles segment on CNN was on between 7:30 and 8:30 this morning. I'm surprised they didn't repeat it.
ATLANTA CAM------LUN LUN and MEI LAN are both asleep in the HAMMOCK ROOM!!!
JIM----Have you voted on a name for SQUIGGLES?
CAROL----I "PROMISE" not to repeat that!! ho!-----How far was the garden from the house?----KIDDIN'
LOL, Carol. Get any unusual visitors?? Hee Hee
It was a really old farmhouse which did not have indoor plumbing - so we had an outhouse. I'm not sure how far the garden was from the house, but it was about the same distance from the house as the outhouse, so we just went to the garden instead (for #1 only!).

Yes, Carol, I have considered running for President, but I am the only one, coast to coast, who has considered me running for President.
Now, that I'm getting to the retirement age, I think I would rather take a nap.
Jim
I don't know, Jim - you might get some votes from this blog. You could solve all the problems the first year and nap for the next three years. ;-)
Jim, you run for president and I'll run as your vice pres. OK
Carol, next Wed. I'll be going past Seneca Rocks and I'll throw you a wave. I'll be up on Cheat Mountain for 10 days hunting with my binoculars. Sure hope I don't run into that LION.
Hi all you momsters. I can't be on the blog all the time, it's
hard to catch this mouse while it's in the hand of a TIGER. I do lurk a lot. Guess you should call me Capt. Lurk....
Gene - I'll be looking for that wave! Will you be staying in the Eagle Express for the 10 days?
Carol no Eagle Express can get to where I'm going. Will be staying in camp with about 20 of my male freinds.
Tiger is back and wants her mouse to play with.
Gotta get Eagle Talons ready for the eeeeerrrssss game tonight. Enjoy the game Norma. Go...eeeeerrrrssss!!!
OK, enough of the running as a vice-president stuff!! Give him a mouse and he goes crazy. Now you know why I don't let him have the mouse very often. LOL
Wanda - I'd rather see a ticket of Jim & Gene over any of the other potential candidates. I think having regular citizens, rather than politicians, for Pres & VP would be an interesting experiment.
TIAN-TIAN has been very ansty today, doing his pirouette dance most of the time
CAROL--I don't want any parts of that White House!!
Seriously...who on earth is out there running, that would do a good job? I couldn't vote for any of them.
Hi, MITS. Walked right past you. I have a habit of doing that. One track mind!
Bai Yun is outside really stuffing herself with bamboo. I have never seen her do that. (Have never seen her outside).
Wanda - I hear you about the White House and the candidates. I am really worried about this country. I feel like something really bad is going to happen with economy.
Well, folks, I need to get some work done...should be short time now that I used the "w" word.
Just wanted to tell you that it's still heavily overcast here, which might might explain why the Two Harbors cam isn't up today.
Have a good afternoon.
Jim
that's ok Wanda:). One of my favorite cam operators is working the NZ pandas cams, she loves to get up close to their beautiful faces.:)
well, sometimes she gets close to the rear-ends also, but that is usually for some sort of analysis, in case they are looking for something
Tai-Shan has been a little picky with his choice of bamboo lately, so I just noticed they are 2 different types of bamboo in his den.
EAGLES IN THE NCTC NEST!!
And now they're gone:(
missed them.
Barely caught thenm myself. Guess they're visiting before dark, maybe they'll be back. BBL- gotta put some stuff away outside before dark, which is approaching quickly.
one just flew into CC
so, I guess they didn't show up again???
the one at CC is still there sitting deep in the nest.
Capt - are you going to introduce your buddies to "eagle talons and Poop shooters"?
And if you come back with any extra deer meat, I can take it off your hands :-)
Jim- That W*** word is about as bad the the Cl*** word!
Heading to the toy store...grandson is turning 2, party is Saturday....see ya later!

JIM
Good morning, world, happy Friday! Finally. Chilly out, but not as cold as they predicted, and no rain, at least so far. 38° at my house, 39° here at work. Today is dress down day, and I have a gazillion layers on, so the cold will not bother me tody. I am wearing my IWS hoodie, and have a turtle neck under that that I got from National Wildlife Federation, and it has an eagle on the neck. So I have 2 eagles today. Cool.
Opened my cams, Bai and Squiggles are asleep, but it looks like they fixed their light in the den, you can actually see both of them very clearly.
Tai is asleep all curled in a ball, nobody showing on cam 1, and I have some different birds or something on Africam. Wish I knew the wildlife over there, gonna have to learn it.
There is a deer in PA, strolling off the cam, but looks like they've added a salt lick. Deer is now back. Oh, yeah, checking out the salt lick and around it. Well dang, just lost pic, and did a refresh, now a different view, and salt lick is gone. So don't know what that other cam was. Oh, read yesterday they have 2 cams, one is motion sensor, shuts off main cam if other cam comes on. So, that's the one with the salt lick. Deer must have left so no more motion.
Ok, all have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly.
Oh, great pic on our cam, let's hope both Lib and Belle show up this morning!
Forgot, one owl half way in the hotel, but looking out the entrance, only tail feathers showing.
GOOD MORNING, SUZANNE...
I've been up late doing laundry and taking care of business. It's not as bad as it seems cause I got quite a bit of sleep today.
Anyway I wanted to see if you were on this morning before I shut the apparatus down.
I hope you have a very interesting, relaxing 3-day weekend.
By the way, in addition to Veteran's Day, November 10th is the Marine Corps' Birthday, as well as my Great Nephew's birthday.
Enjoy, enjoy.
Jim
Aww, Squiggles is waking up, and mom Bai rolled over and is snuggling her now. So cute! But Squiggles is not quite comfy, she's still wiggling! Bai's not moving. Pic is kinda out of focus, they replaced the IR light, but now it's fuzzy. But clear enough you can see the babies! Guess Squiggles is comfy now, she's between Bai's paws near her tummy.
CHIT! There goes a crash and fire alarm! Darn.
Good thing you have all that layered warm stuff, Suz... Happy fire drilling.
I hope to talk to you later.. before you go home.
Jim
Hi Jim. Yup, so much for being warm! Just got back in, but at least it's not raining, and the wind isn't blowing this time. Geesh, 2 out of 3 weeks, and it's only gonna get colder. Sure hope they figure out what is causing these loud crashes, so the alarm doesn't keep going off!
Well, if you went back to bed, sleep tight. Talk to you later. I gotta get warm now, get a cuppa!!
Eagle Alert
Morning Suzanne,
Got coffee?
Both of them!!
Wow, morning, Butterfly! Wasn't watching, thanks for the alert! No coffee yet, but will shortly. Trying to get warm again.
Wow, how cool! Jim you still up? Both babies in the nest. Butterfly, where's your mom?
Lib has the glowing eyes thing going on, he's so cute!
Aw - they look like they're kissing.
MOTHER!!!! We're waiting for you.
Suz - I think she heard me
Well, darn, Lib left! Guess Belle is gonna work on the egg cup now.
Yes they did Butterfly! It's called "beaking" and I think that's what they were doing! Nice to see them reaffirming their relationship with each other!
WWWAAAAANNNNNDDDDAAAAA! Time to rise and shine....QUICKLY!!!
Well, Belle now in her pre-takeoff position. She moves up by the tree a little at a time, then poof, she's gone.
Maybe she's gonna stand there till Lib comes back. Maybe Lib's bringing breakfast, that would be cool.
Is the camera frozen or is she just sitting there?
Squiggles was sleeping alone, but mom Bai just came back and is picking Squiggles up to nurse. She's such a good mommie. Oh, ok, well, Squigs isn't nursing, and Bai has her rolled up in a ball under her tummy, and Bai is laying on top of her. They're snuggling.
Belle is still hanging out just being beautiful.
It's still moving, she's only moving her head a little. Must not be much up and flying around, she's not looking all over.
She sure isn't moving much, is she?
No, she isn't. Wonder what she's thinking. We're getting some of that "snow" right now up here. Mostly drizzle.
OH ugh! Thought it would start earlier and I'd have to drive into work in it. Glad I don't have to now! Hopefully, nothing will stick, ground is still kinda warm.
Yeah, it would be interesting to know what she's thinking.
My husband just called and told me to share that it is 36 and he has seen about 10 good snowflakes!
Morning all Eagle bloggers and eagle watchers.
Morning Karla, Suzanne, and what happened to Wanda.
Suppose to get snow here too today and tonight. Probably won't accumalate.
Be careful driving Karla.
Been sitting in nest along time.
Morning Dana,
I'm sure the roads wil be fine - it's mostly turning to drizzle before it hits the ground. Hope so anyway - 4x4 is at work and I'll have drive the Mustang today.
Ah, now we know what she was thinking! She was rearranging the sticks in her head, to see where she wanted them. Now she's moving them.
I'm sure the eagles can feel the change in the weather. Even more so than us.
GOOD FREEZING EAGLE MORNING TO SUZANNE, BUTTERFLY MAMA AND DANA.
Got on at home just in time to see one eagle still in nest.! Yeah!
Morning, Dana!
She was trying it out to see how it felt.
Hey, morning, Candy! This is Belle still hanging out. Glad you got to see her!!
With the 30 sec refresh it looks like between each refresh sometimes they are just sitting there. I always wonder if they are or if they are picking at sticks.
Candy good morning your getting your eagle fix for today !!!
Morning Candy,
Both of them were here a bit earlier. It was awesome.
Carol I read comments gal. Good hearing from you. Bet your getting snow where you work. Keep warm lady.
Kinda neat watching her and watching the nest get lighter, isn't it?
Where is my mother? I have to get ready for work ladies - but I'll lurk until I leave.
I sure hope you ladies keep that rain/snow up your way. I came south to get away from it. My sister told methat her boys in Buffalo and Syracuse had some the other day, and they may get some in Lower NY today. Brrrrrr. It is cold enough down here for me now without snow.
Nestorations again!
Ok Butterfly we will no you are lurking ( :
From the sounds of it, you ladies have been watching the eagles for quite awhile this mornng in the nest. I guess I'll have to start getting up earlier and watching from home and not wait to get to school. I am so glad that they keep comng back.
Butterfly, your mother is MIA this morning! She doesn't usually sleep this late, hope everything is alright! She's missing Belle think about rearranging, then actually doing it.
Butterfly, if I don't talk to you, have a great day and a wonderful weekend!
Candy, don't like snow either, but don't think it's supposed to do much. I HOPE!!
Candy if I could do that for you. I would have it so it didn't lay on my porch, ramp, cars, or driveway lol
Candy, they were super early this morning! Butterfly sent out the alert!!
I read where you all saw eagles at BW yesterday also, and one in Maine. How cool. I have the Pete's Pond cam on for the children at school as well as the pandas in the NZ. They love watching them during the day.
Good speed to Dolly/Hope. I see where she has fledged. Has anyone seen her return?
NORMA That sure was a close game in the end NOMRA. I bet you were up out of your chair yelling go EEEiiirrrrssssss! What an exciting ending.
Well, shucky darns! Belle left.
2 deer in PA, look lovey dovey.
Oh back!
GOOD MORNING LADIES
My puter died this morning. Had to turn it off and start all over twice! I think I see Belle?
NOW BOTH!!!
Thought I saw Belle.
Gosh SUZANNE, it looks as if I'll have to set my alarm to go off earlier. Now two eagles in nest.
Maybe Wanda is helping Capt. Eagle (Capt. Lurker) lol He is heading up Carol's way with the guy. To go huntin.
One back
Now both back serious stick work here.
Both moving sticks together!
Hey WANDA! It is about time. I even got on before you again today. :) I just had to have a look at our eagles. I hope you have your coffed, so you don't have tomiss anymore.
Lib's having a time with that stick! Belle's ignoring him, he's working on his perch.
Wanda was on earlier on the other thread Candy. DOn't know where she went to. Maybe computer problems??
Someone hold the door open for Wanda to get back in.
Well darn, Belle left, Lib still has that stick he's trying to place!
You would think that they would huddle together to keep warm and cozy. I am sitting here freezing. Hate the thoughts of having to go on the playground for recess today. Still haven't gotten out my gloves and neck scarf. We get a good North wind blowing down.....Oh one left. Maybe she'll be back.
Now he's moved to nest, Belle back!!!
BOTH BACK!
Belle came back in
Oh my, moving sticks again.
2 deer in PA now. Different ones, i think.
I truly think the feel of the weather to them. Is making them stay longer working on the nest.
Well, there went Belle again. Maybe getting another stick!
Oh sugar! I am going to have to get going to school. Kids will be in before I get there if I don't get started. You all have a very enjoyable day watching all the sites.
I guess Belle is trying to beat me to school! I'll keep my eyes to the skies and you do the dame.
BOTH GONE. I guess they heard that I had to leave and didn't want me to be sad I was missing them.
HI SUZ, CANDY, DANA AND BUTTERFLY MAMA.....
KARLA...Chris at Shentel is working on a solution to e-mail problem. Have a good day.
Well, darn, started to say Lib is so pretty standing there, but then he's gone.
Ok everybody, have a great day. Have things to do on other computer. May be here and lurk later.
Candy have a great Friday, stay warm during recess!
Butterfly and Dana, have a great day.

My puter died this morning and it took 1/2 hour to get it resuscitated, but I did get on in time to see Lib and Belle.
Missed chatting with Butterfly Mama.
Hope JO is alright.....she didn't come on and tell us Good Night last night. First time since I join this group:(

Thanks for sharing it, Mits. Great list of ways to help our soldiers.
sounds from Maine are loons, geese and eagles this a.m.
GOOD MORNING, EAGLE FRIENDS..
Thanks, Norma, for the comment on Veterans Day ... don't forget the birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps is November 10th (1775, Tuns Tavern, Philadelphia).
I hope everybody is having a happy weekend so far. Suzanne?? Getting warmed up?
Jim
elephants are out at the NZ for their daily workouts
SUZ--Have a wonderful long weekend. Safe trip home, and thank you for your Service to our Country!
And thank you to Jim and Capt. too.
And, probably Red also....
I looked in on ATLANTA---All one can see is a "stream" of children passing by through a glass window!!---I bet they are probably seeing two "SLEEPING BEAUTIES"!!!
Thanks, Wanda. Thought I'd better come on before time to say good-bye! Been a busy week, but got a lot done, so that's a good thing.
I'm looking forward to the long weekend, off Monday for the holiday, and off Tuesday for 2 dental appointments. One in the AM, and one later in the afternoon, so not even gonna drive down here for a few hours. Will be back to work and (hopefully) cam watching on Wednesday!
Both Mai and Tian have just gotten their treats in the thingys with the holes in them. One is laying on the floor, one has the thing up on the rocks and is using her head to try and get them to come out the holes. These guys are a riot. Tai is asleep on his grate.
Squiggles is asleep in the den all by her lonesome.
Oh, take pics if Lib and Belle show up over the weekend.
why that bully took Mei's treats away form her, Suz, Tian is usually the one who pushes the ball around with his head, Mei takes her time and lays on her back and savors every morsel.....I can hear Nichole calling Tai Shan...maybe she has some treats for him.
New thread is up!
