Thanks for the new thread, Steve, and thanks for the heads up, Mits. I'm just talking away on the other thread. Wanda, think everybody is too pooped now, just like Mai and Tian! They were wrestling like made a while ago, now they're kinda chillin'...
Good morning all. I am off for coffee and dog treats. Best nights sleep I have had since Fall back, for some strange reason it has been a restless few nights. I will check back on old theead quickly and then am out of here. Have to go in to work early today so won't be around much for eagle watching. Hope all have a great day. For those who do not get this from FeedBlitz, there is a short video of my recent trip to NCTC to meet many of you and visit this wonderful Nest Home on the For the Love of Eagles BLOG. Video from trip
Wow, huge black and white bird on Africam, no idea what it is. Kinda of looks like a very long legged pelican, or heron. Had that kind of large beak. Neat looking whatever it is.
Glo, your video was great. You sure had more color on your trip than I did the following week at Dollywood. I'm off this morning to get my nose stiches out. Oh Happy Day.
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!!---Another COOL--CRISP--SUNNY a.m. in WV--temp. 44° now!!---Might have rain or snow showers in Eastern Panhandle------WOW!!--SUZANNE---I might as well go back to "fast time"---need to keep up with you all!!---I HAVE MISSED THE ROYAL COUPLE & THE DIVERS!!!--ho!--HELLO--SUZANNE--DANA--ROBYN--WANDA--BUTTERFLY MAMA--CANDY--HELEN-- & RED--(male)--RED your are a brave soul--ho!--ask JIM---KIDDIN'!!
Norma, good morning! Try Squiggles again, there is the same panda that was there yesterday, all in a bunch of bamboo. C29, but they don't say who C29 is. From reading their updated blog, I'm GUESSING C29 is Bai in her garden den. She was let in there yesterday for the first time in a long time, so I'm guessing this is that view. Looks kind of grown up in greens. But I don't have a blue pic.
Good Morning Eagle Buddies! Cool & crisp but dry & sunny now. Frost tonight here in the valley. I need to read previous thread & surf the cams. Also need some breakfast food.. BBL
Ok, they have a C29 today, and it is Bai Yun. She wasn't listed there yesterday, but maybe that's because yesterday was the first day she went back to her garden den. Anyway, it is now listed as Bai Yun. They also said she may take the cub in there, she has taken her cubs in the past there. That should be fun to watch. At least Squiggles can't quite get around, so she won't be getting lost in all that vegetation!
Sorry folks must be a gltich with You Tube... I just now tried and it worked OK for me...Followed my link in previous post earlier this morning at 8:19. Hope you remember to try again soon.
Morning, all. Glad all the early birds were up to get pics and give a running commentary on the nest activities. I'll stick to being a late bird, thank you very much!
The Trip youtube video is really good. I had watched it last evening and Norma let me know if you can't get it up - I will send to you the link from Glo's site. It's your song! Red be sure to let us all know when you get home and the stitches are out successfully.
I still peek at Brisbane to see if Dolly came back to roost on her ledge. :(
SUZANNE----I have missed everything this a.m.----Thanks for the pics of the ROYAL COUPLE or I would have missed them----Computer needs help----SLLOW!!----BUTTER--I think if BUTTERFLY?---Every time I have checked SQUIGGLES---I get a BLUE PIC!!!---Now I have missed the DIVERS twice---(don't like watching them anyway)--ho! (white lie)---Have watched the TAI!--& reading about the ATLANTA BEAUTY!!---ZOO says she is getting too feisty in the a.m.---before LUN LUN has food!---LUN LUN not happy with that----tries to SWAT her away!!
I have been on here---trying everything from NZOO to MCNEILL BEARS-----I don't know where HELEN is---PROBABLY CLEANING THE BASEMENT!!!---Her plans last week!!!
DANA---I called the big eyed fish "BIG BOY"---after a drive-in restaurant in Charleston--(many moons ago)---They had this "BIG BOY" with "BIG EYES" as a trademark!!!-----
GLO!---A WONDERFUL film!!------You made WV proud---Thank you for showing the SCENIC beauty of our state---Most of the land up through the "trough" has been in the same family for a 100 years or more---Geo. Washington, as a young man, was with the group of surveyors that surveyed the land in that area!!!---SO very sorry the EAGLES didn't escort your train---as they usually do----ENJOYED JOHN too!!---I would give it a "5 STAR" rating!!---ho!
Glad folks are able to see the video. Norma your state is absolutely gorgeous. I miss the mountains so very much in the Fall as I grew up always looking forward to that kind of scenery. I loved every minute of it. I have of course many many more foliage pictures. Color was not at peak but was indeed beautiful. Yes the lady on the train was giving us some of that history as we went through the trough. I was happy to see the eagles I did. I did happen to quickly spot a Young Eagle on our return trip flying alongside the train, but I was on the worng side to get the capture on my camera. So in my minds eye I do have a juvenile young eagle soaring alongside and it was exciting. I quickly tried to alert those on that side of the train but of course The eagle was soaring in the opposite direction as the train was traveling ...so it was only a breif few secs I got to see, but it was cool.
Yes Red If you have noticed some of us do show up in eagle costumes...Ya never really know what you will find...simialr to chat. and Not always do they know who's on first here either...Just how it is. Glad the stitches are out.
MORNIN' BLUEFIELD SHARON!!---Hey weather people are telling us we may have snow!!!---Bet you aren't serving LEMONADE either!!!---How's the "COLLEGE MAN" doing?---REALLY MISSED YOU AT OPEN HOUSE!!---Next year!!!--
SHARON---The ROYAL COUPLE appeared this a.m.----They have been coming back in the late afternoon---evening!!!----Sometimes moving the "stick" around---That's COOL!!
Normabyrd, I just watched one of them eating lunch in our nest. Haven't seen that in a long time.
Andrew is doing great. He went to Columbus last week for a Percussive Arts Society International Convention and had a blast.
It rained here all evening yesterday. Last night about 11 p.m., our power went out and stayed out until around 5:30 this morning. Transformer blew. I saw the sky light up from it. Cold, cold today. NO LEMONADE IN SIGHT!
Did you all know that Dr. Phil was in Bluefield last Friday for Toys for Tots. They have Bluefield all decorated for Christmas. Way too early.
Hi, Glo, good to be on here. I keep the cam up all day but most of the time work instead of blogging. Today is going to be a long day though so I may as well blog a minute!
Well I have a long day ahead of me too. Actually its fix osme lunch and feed the dogs time here. I am going to work early today. Will pull the cam up if the internet is working...never know til I get there about that one. We know they will be back for supper or there abouts.
Isn't the NEST GREAT!!----Wonder if all 5 of them will fit in there---ho!----Can't wait!!!---Hope you have been watching that feisty "LITTLE BEAUTY" in Atlanta!!----She is so COOL---Drives LUN LUN "MAD" some times!!
THANKS SHARON---Will certainly look forward to them---W/share with SUZANNE---She always gets all the early a.m. shots---LOVE TO THE "COLLEGE MAN"!!!---(seems like yesterday)
I remember when we lived in Del Mar Terrace and we used to take the relatives from the Midwest or just go on our own, the tickets were free for kids under 12 (or so), and they were only around $1 for adults.
They went up very gradually for a long time, but like all the tourist attractions, they've skyrocketed in recent decades. (Not sure how it compares if adjusted for inflation though). Most of the parks have a lot more and a lot more expensive attractions now too.
Paula, I took a look at your owl nest, and my guess they are the cough "pellets" that scientists like to analyze to see what owls of a particular region and time have been eating.
SHARON---I was a 60% DIXIE---I don't think I am Southern at all----I still cling to the other side of the state where I was born---This Eastern Panhandle is very--very Southern!!----Still discuss the war, etc.--ROMNEY changed hands 56 times during CIVIL WAR!!!----
The larger the owl - the larger the pellets. The site you found Paula is the "Owl Motel". Some of us on the Kent Forum try to keep track as to when Mrs Owl spends her days there - I haven't seen her for a while. She is a large barn owl with beautiful feathered markings and yep! she coughs up pellets! They do clean out the nest box for her. I didn't have time to dissect any pellets at the NCTC Open House exhibit. I didn't really want to :(
Chili cooking weather is getting here Red. I just loaded up on Kidney Beans. Also tomato soup to have with grilled cheese sandwiches....yummy cold weather food.
My husband Red wouldn't eat his chili over rice though.
Forgive me trying to do too many things at one time here.
Hi Sharon, Jo, Red, Glo, Paula, Norma, and Jim. Don't know where my matters are. I think before I said hi to some and not others. Oh yes Hi to the watchers.
HEY KIDS!!----I'm SORRY PAULA & JIM--I said I'M ALWAYS WRONG---SO NEVER EVER BELIEVE A WORD I SAY!!! FORGIVE ME!!----"JUST PAY NO MIND TO ANY THING I SAY"!!!!!! ho!---
Hi, eagle lovers! Have been busy and haven't been on here for a while. Just went back and read yesterday's blog. Saw your "hello"s to me, Dana and Wanda. "Hello" to you too. I see that we have some new bloggers - Butterfly Mama and Red. Welcome to both of you. Also - a costumed eagle. That's pretty wild. I thought it was a parrot at first! You all are not going to believe this - but it was 32 degrees up on this mountain when I got to work this morning and if I looked real hard, I could see a snow flake every now and then. It's still cold and very windy at times, but no snow flakes! I'm ready to join you, Nilla and Dana, on that trip west to see all the eagles! We have a cat in the office and she is bugging the heck out of me. Keeps stepping on my keyboard and telephone keys. Her name is Kathmandu. Have you ever heard the saying: "Dogs have owners and cats have staff"? This one really does have staff!! She is facinated with our printers. As soon as she hears a printer printing - she runs to it and watches the printed papers come out. She has messed up several of my print jobs by sticking her paw in where the paper comes out. Sometimes she jumps in the shredded paper trash can and takes a nap. Well, I gotta do one more thing before I go home. Bye.
Wow - I got to see one of them. (I can never tell which one is which). I checked the cam before I turned off the computer and got rewarded! I haven't seen either of them for a while. A good way to end the day :-) Bye again.
Brrrrr baby its cold outside!!!! Missed the couple in the nest was busy... Hope everyone had a great day... Wanda always keep and extra egg timer handy...lol
Thanks for the link Jo great pictures.. loks like the picutre thingy is getting full at the bottom now and the real season isnt started..lol Will you get more space in the picture thing? Just alittle humor add Jo... Thanks
Well you and Paula handle the picture situation over there and yup getting time also for a big pot of homemade vegetable soup to... I still have not made the home made bread but i am off this weekend and going to make a Pineapple Upside Down Cake... My new daughter in law just brought some pictures in of the wedding well them eating cake and drinking champain (yuck it taste terrible) I am going down after work and her and i are printing out all the wedding pictures on the digital camera...
Nilla, I used to love pineapple upside down cake when my Mom used to make it...haven't had it since then I don't believe. Is there such a thing as peach upside down cake? Seem to remember something like that.
Remember Apple Pan Dowdy? Used to love that too.
Mema Jo, I took a look at the Moose cam and added it to my favorites, but I don't see where it is located. Do you know?
There is a Moose asleep in the shade, but it's still light in the picture, so I guess the cam isn't rolling now.
It's early morning at Pete's, but there's not too much action except for a myriad of birdlife.
Morning, world. Chilly out, 42 when I left my house, 32 here at work. Brrr. And the wind is just a'blowing! Flags are straight out. Beautiful pic our nest, now I hope we get visitors this morning. F&F cam is showing daylight on the ledge, so maybe cam is kaput, as of today, 09:25 their time. Oh well. Bai and Squiggles are snoozing and both NZ cams are MT. All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
I don't think it's the flu, but I sure was achy last night. I took a night-time cold pill and just went to bed under the covers. I was freezing, but warmed up quickly. I sleep good with those cold pills, and I guess that's what the ol' body needs.

Suzanne what color is "big bob"?
Our little cutie pututie Squiggles is sound asleep all alone in the den. But you can see her curled up on her side, adorable!
Dana, he's one of the bright yellow fish, his eyes look very big when he gets so close to the cam. Makes his eyes look like they're bugged out.
Morning, all. Glad all the early birds were up to get pics and give a running commentary on the nest activities. I'll stick to being a late bird, thank you very much!

Hi Sharon...good to see you on the BLOG. Cam is behaving super now...it is so wonderful to enjoy this pair again.
Normabyrd, I just watched one of them eating lunch in our nest. Haven't seen that in a long time.
Andrew is doing great. He went to Columbus last week for a Percussive Arts Society International Convention and had a blast.
It rained here all evening yesterday. Last night about 11 p.m., our power went out and stayed out until around 5:30 this morning. Transformer blew. I saw the sky light up from it. Cold, cold today. NO LEMONADE IN SIGHT!
Did you all know that Dr. Phil was in Bluefield last Friday for Toys for Tots. They have Bluefield all decorated for Christmas. Way too early.
GONE!!-------SHARON---BET YOU SAW HIM BEFORE I DID!!!----Thanks for the ALERT!!----Isn't he GORGEOUS!!!!--------
RED---I HOPE YOU SAW HIM TOO?????
Hi, Glo, good to be on here. I keep the cam up all day but most of the time work instead of blogging. Today is going to be a long day though so I may as well blog a minute!
I snapped a few shots of this lunch visit. Will email them after while.
Well I have a long day ahead of me too. Actually its fix osme lunch and feed the dogs time here. I am going to work early today. Will pull the cam up if the internet is working...never know til I get there about that one. We know they will be back for supper or there abouts.
Isn't the NEST GREAT!!----Wonder if all 5 of them will fit in there---ho!----Can't wait!!!---Hope you have been watching that feisty "LITTLE BEAUTY" in Atlanta!!----She is so COOL---Drives LUN LUN "MAD" some times!!
THANKS SHARON---Will certainly look forward to them---W/share with SUZANNE---She always gets all the early a.m. shots---LOVE TO THE "COLLEGE MAN"!!!---(seems like yesterday)
Excellent slide presentation, Glo. Beautiful everything in your scenes.
Jim
Norma - I am sure our nest will fit 5 if need be. Those eaglets will be stomping on those sticks and kicking them out of the way!
Was just checking on some other nests....
What is in this nest? Are those pellets or poop? Yuck!
Owl Cam
I was just looking at the SD Zoo prices. Wow!!
I remember when we lived in Del Mar Terrace and we used to take the relatives from the Midwest or just go on our own, the tickets were free for kids under 12 (or so), and they were only around $1 for adults.
They went up very gradually for a long time, but like all the tourist attractions, they've skyrocketed in recent decades. (Not sure how it compares if adjusted for inflation though). Most of the parks have a lot more and a lot more expensive attractions now too.
Jim
They have risen since I was out there 2 years ago...son was out last summer, he paid more than I did...but it's a great zoo!
I guess northern WV is yankee territory and southern WV is Dixie!
Paula, I took a look at your owl nest, and my guess they are the cough "pellets" that scientists like to analyze to see what owls of a particular region and time have been eating.
Jim
SHARON---I was a 60% DIXIE---I don't think I am Southern at all----I still cling to the other side of the state where I was born---This Eastern Panhandle is very--very Southern!!----Still discuss the war, etc.--ROMNEY changed hands 56 times during CIVIL WAR!!!----
PAULA---JIM---They be "cough pellets"---but honestly---I believe they comes out the other end!!!---Could be wrong----I always am---ho!
Paula they do come from the stomach through the mouth. They literally "cough" them up.
Sorry Paula, that was for Norma
My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
The larger the owl - the larger the pellets. The site you found Paula is the "Owl Motel". Some of us on the Kent Forum try to keep track as to when Mrs Owl spends her days there - I haven't seen her for a while. She is a large barn owl with beautiful feathered markings and yep! she coughs up pellets! They do clean out the nest box for her. I didn't have time to dissect any pellets at the NCTC Open House exhibit. I didn't really want to :(
RED I am glad you remembered to repeat that for Norma! lol Gotcha!
Red the small trash can will delete a comment if you wish.
The moose cam is not working for me today... Have you seen anything? It was down completely last time I looked.
Thanks for the info on the pellets, I know that owls and eagles cough them up, just never seen them laying around in an owl box before.....
The moose cam was up this morning Jo.
I am off to decide what we're eating for an evening meal......
Anyone cooking up anything good & tasty....... ?
Jo you have mail
When the Moose cam was up - Was that deer still on it?
I'm cooking chili for dinner tonight. I'm the domestic goddis in this family since I'm retired and she is still working.
Chili over rice.
Jo - there was one moose and 2 deer.
Chili cooking weather is getting here Red. I just loaded up on Kidney Beans. Also tomato soup to have with grilled cheese sandwiches....yummy cold weather food.
My husband Red wouldn't eat his chili over rice though.
With cooking dinner I might just miss Liberty and Belle if they come in. Boy they have alot of large sticks in that nest.
Forgive me trying to do too many things at one time here.
Hi Sharon, Jo, Red, Glo, Paula, Norma, and Jim. Don't know where my matters are. I think before I said hi to some and not others. Oh yes Hi to the watchers.
HEY KIDS!!----I'm SORRY PAULA & JIM--I said I'M ALWAYS WRONG---SO NEVER EVER BELIEVE A WORD I SAY!!!
FORGIVE ME!!----"JUST PAY NO MIND TO ANY THING I SAY"!!!!!! ho!---
Hi Everyone, (can't remember who is still here and who is not, so please accept my Everyone for now. Red isn't the only one with memory problems!!!
I ended up 65% Dixie - pretty cool, my grandfather would love it!
He was from North Carolina.
Thanks to Suzanne for great pics again from this morning - Dana, can't wait to see yours too.
Norma, what do you mean - and here I beleived every word you said! Or, are you just being modest again?
Hugs everyone, love this group!
Hi, eagle lovers! Have been busy and haven't been on here for a while. Just went back and read yesterday's blog. Saw your "hello"s to me, Dana and Wanda. "Hello" to you too. I see that we have some new bloggers - Butterfly Mama and Red. Welcome to both of you. Also - a costumed eagle. That's pretty wild. I thought it was a parrot at first! You all are not going to believe this - but it was 32 degrees up on this mountain when I got to work this morning and if I looked real hard, I could see a snow flake every now and then. It's still cold and very windy at times, but no snow flakes! I'm ready to join you, Nilla and Dana, on that trip west to see all the eagles! We have a cat in the office and she is bugging the heck out of me. Keeps stepping on my keyboard and telephone keys. Her name is Kathmandu. Have you ever heard the saying: "Dogs have owners and cats have staff"? This one really does have staff!! She is facinated with our printers. As soon as she hears a printer printing - she runs to it and watches the printed papers come out. She has messed up several of my print jobs by sticking her paw in where the paper comes out. Sometimes she jumps in the shredded paper trash can and takes a nap. Well, I gotta do one more thing before I go home. Bye.
Oh no, looks like fws.gov is doing their maintenance at the wrong time again :(
Carol - that is too funny about the cat....
Nice hearing from you Carol have a safe journey home.

Moose Cam Link -
Closing out early this evening.
Good Night Everyone
Peace to You & Yours
Prayers for all your needs
Good Morning all you Early Birds
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!
GOOD NIGHT MITS...
Haven't seen you all day. See you tomorrow.
I guess I will turn in too.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP WELL
Nilla, I used to love pineapple upside down cake when my Mom used to make it...haven't had it since then I don't believe. Is there such a thing as peach upside down cake? Seem to remember something like that.
Remember Apple Pan Dowdy? Used to love that too.
Mema Jo, I took a look at the Moose cam and added it to my favorites, but I don't see where it is located. Do you know?
There is a Moose asleep in the shade, but it's still light in the picture, so I guess the cam isn't rolling now.
It's early morning at Pete's, but there's not too much action except for a myriad of birdlife.
Jim
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE/GOOD MORNING TO SUZANNE AND THE EARLY BIRDERS CREW...
GOD BLESS.
JIM
Morning, world. Chilly out, 42 when I left my house, 32 here at work. Brrr. And the wind is just a'blowing! Flags are straight out.
Beautiful pic our nest, now I hope we get visitors this morning.
F&F cam is showing daylight on the ledge, so maybe cam is kaput, as of today, 09:25 their time. Oh well. Bai and Squiggles are snoozing and both NZ cams are MT.
All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
GOOD MORNING SUZ...
How's the cold this morning?
I was remembering that you had your flu shot, so you shouldn,t be coming down with the flu. I had mine the same day as you.
Morning, Wanda. Still there, thanks for asking. I'm taking so many pills now it should be going away soon!
I'm hoping the kids show up this morning!
Gone for coffee....BRB
I don't think it's the flu, but I sure was achy last night. I took a night-time cold pill and just went to bed under the covers. I was freezing, but warmed up quickly. I sleep good with those cold pills, and I guess that's what the ol' body needs.
So ok guys, anytime.
Morning Ladies,
There is a nasty cold going around. Everyone of my bartenders have had their turn with it.
GOOD MORNING KARLA.....
Did you have your flu shot?
No Mother - not yet but I will. I need to call and make an appt for that and other things
Good Morning Suzanne, Wanda and Karla. Morning Carol I know you'll be watching sometime today (:
It is going to be a cold one tonight!! Praying everyone keeps warm.
Well yesterday SD panda landed back on China soil so I hear.
Did you hubby get his at the MOOSE?

Morning, Butterfly! Think they're getting ready to do some stick moving!
They are moving sticks around both of them. Switched places also.
Moving that BIG stick around
Oh, Belle flying to move sticks, how cool!
One gone
Guess Lib cutout when Belle started flapping and moving sticks.
Belle reminds me of the song; "what makes that little ant think he can move that rubber tree plant".
Up close and personnel Belle Beautiful lady
