I suspect we should be seeing more of them in the next couple of weeks.

Robyn said...

wow... it is nice to see afternoon visitors

Costume Lady said...

Hi Robyn...
Hope you had the best Christmas ever!
You have to tell us ALL about it when you get home.

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE...

JIM

movin said...

Good to see Belle this time of day, guess they're getting serious this late in the year.

I hope you all had a great Christmas holiday.

There is a wild melee at Pete's Pond between several kinds of insects and between moth like insects and thousands of bats. (Birds by day).

Jim

Robyn said...

Wanda 7 more days till we go home, if it wasn't for my home or kitties I would stay lol...

paula eagleholic said...

I missed them again - I did notice before I looked on here that the big stick had been moved again!

movin said...

ZZ is sound asleep in a tree out in the enclosure... (:=))

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

So, Jim, How are you liking the retirement thingy?

paula eagleholic said...

ZZBear was just climbing all over those logs! I can't believe how big she is getting!

glo said...

Watch closely. I do not think Cape Coral Cam 1 is nesting, or at least not only nesting. I think they are feeding eaglet/s
Password and username is

Cape Coral Cam 1

This is George II and Gracie...Gracie

This is a different pair than we were watching on cam two a couple of weeks ago. That cam needs reset hopefully soon.

paula eagleholic said...

ZZBear is in the den, rolling around with a piece of straw, chewing on it.

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, it does look like feeding eaglet/s at CC1!

MITS said...

What no p.m. visit????

paula eagleholic said...

Moosie on cam

MITS said...

deer with horns at PA

paula eagleholic said...

Evening, all! Finally got the house in some sort of order after having 14 people over for dinner yesterday! House was crowded, but not uncomfortable. I think Cohen was finally tired of opening presents by the end of the evening!

Sunny said...

Hello again!

I wanted to thank everyone for your nice comments earlier today. I posted from work, and reading the comments made me too emotional, so I had to log off.

Tomorrow I'll check in, and get back to eagle business!

New note on the "News" page about ZZ Bear, AND they have a new video on her too.

Jim

Suzanne said...

Good morning, world. Nice out, 36° in PA, 39° here in VA. Moon is peeking through the clouds on occassion, but not very bright.

Noticed we have a new blogger, Robert, from the Chincoteague NWR, how cool. Welcome, Robert! Come back and visit with us again.

I see that darn Spidey is back! Either that, or raindrops on the cam, cause it's got fuzzy spots, but I'm guessing spidey.

Will have to go back and see what I missed. All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Suzanne said...

OMG, was watching Bai and I thought ZZBear in the birthing den, but Bai just got up and walked out, and the den is MT. Our baby bear is growing up! She's spending the night elsewhere. Oh, Bai just came back..thought she had Squiggles in her mouth, but don't think so. Potty break, and she's back and laying down again. So where is our Zhen Zhen???

And the PA cam is sorta on the fritz! Getting no signal, and a lot of static. Pics sometime, but not often.

Suzanne said...

It appears that PA may be fixed. And Bai went out looking for ZZ, found her and brought her into the den, both now sleeping. Jo, your 2 owls were in the nest box, but one left a little while ago, one still there. Wildbeestes are all laying down resting on Africam, and the donkeys at Bonaire are getting ready for breakfast. Moosecam was MT last night when Pook turned it off. Unusual not to see somebody there. No moose, no deer. Still waiting for our kids to show up, but it is early yet.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SUZ....
Whatever is on the cam has been there for several days. It seems to disappear in the daylight. I thought it may be from the few little rains and fog we have had.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Wanda. I didn't notice it yesterday, probably just wasn't paying attention. If it's rain, it'll dry. If it's spidey, it's there for the duration. Sure wish that guy would find a new home...in another country!

Costume Lady said...

Speaking of ROBERT, I wish he would come back and chat with us. There are so many things he could share with us from the Chincoteague area. It would be wonderful if we could see the cam they have there.

COME BACK ROBERT!!

Costume Lady said...

I thought it might be a poop shoot, but Jo said "No, it's not, I am and expert in poop shoot" or something like that. LOL

MITS said...

GOOD MORNING, SUZANNE AND WANDA, AND EVERYONE Don't know why I'm up, but hope to see the eagles.

Suzanne said...

Yup, Jo's the poop shoot expert! And it is kinda high for that. They would have to have really good aim to get on a higher branch and hit the cam. LOL, they're special eagles, but man, that would be REALLY special!

Good morning early bird, Mits! You sure are up early! Maybe the kids will make an appearance to see you so early and say hi!

Suzanne said...

Impalas grazing and wildbeestes still resting on Africam. Bai and baby still sleeping in the den. One NZ parent panda still sleeping, and Tai is strolling around his rocks.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING HELEN....
I don't know why I'm up either. I think I could go back to sleep, but I am afraid I might miss something. Think I'll turn the coffee pot on and maybe the couple will visit.....

MITS said...

off to make coffee, ya hear that Belle and Lib!!!

Suzanne said...

NZ parent just got up.

Suzanne said...

Have you guys seen and tried the Land O Lakes coffees? They are delicious! My boss gave me a couple envelopes last week, and they are good! Cappuccino Suprema and French Vanilla. Doing the vanilla this morning, delicious! Gonna have to find these in the grocery story.

Raining in PA.... again! Means all my bird seed and cat food will be wet when I get home. Oh joy!

MITS said...

I have not heard of them, Suzanne, but will look for them

Suzanne said...

They're good, hope you like them.

MITS said...

ok, going to get some coffee, I'm leaving the room, B & L

Suzanne said...

Ah, good, NZ cam operators are on the job! Thanks, guys!

Costume Lady said...

Never heard of that coffee Suz, but I do drink General Foods International Cafe. I like to mix the French Vanilla and Cafe Mocha together. Delicious.

Suzanne said...

Uh oh, Lib and Belle, Mits has left the building!

So.......... where R U guys?????

Suzanne said...

EAGLE ALERT!!!!!!!!! BOTH.

Costume Lady said...

EAGLE ALERT!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

AND THEY HAVE ARRIVED!

MITS said...

EAGLES.........

Suzanne said...

MITS, are you back?????? They both looked at the cam to see you! Wanda, get outta email and watch our cam.

Suzanne said...

Ok, glad everybody's here. Morning, Sharon.

MITS said...

he went to move a stick and I think she yelled at him

MITS said...

beaking

Suzanne said...

lol, that was funny, Mits! Then she gave him a kissy to make up to him.

Costume Lady said...

Are they beaking?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning everybody!

Costume Lady said...

Capt. Eagle just gave me a kissy and a cup of coffee...

MITS said...

morning, Sharon

Suzanne said...

They did, Wanda!

MITS said...

look out , Wanda if he starts nestorations around the house

Suzanne said...

Awwwww, Wanda! he's been watching the eagles. Tell him good morning!!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING MISS SHARON...
Get your coffee and join us.

Suzanne said...

Lib looks ready for takeoff from Belle's spot!

Suzanne said...

Bye Lib.

Costume Lady said...

Oh, Helen, that is too funny!

Costume Lady said...

Yes, he likes to watch the eagles too. He also wathces the pandas on occasion.

Suzanne said...

LOL, I know he does Wanda, you've said. But Mits is right, be careful if he starts nestorations!

MITS said...

well she looks quite happy to sit there in the nest for awhile

MITS said...

Mei Xiang has her a.m. goody bag

normabyrd said...

EAGLE IN NEST!!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Norma! Mits, look at the birds hanging out by her. Well, sometimes. Belle's feetsies are covered by branches.

Costume Lady said...

I think Belle is practicing.

Suzanne said...

Tai found a bunch of bamboo he's munching. Belle just hanging out keeping her feet warm.

MITS said...

she looks like she is trying on the egg cup for size, didn't notice the birds, Suzanne

Suzanne said...

She musta heard you, Wanda. Lib has returned!

MITS said...

Tai is trying to climb out the door

MITS said...

MOVE THOSE STICKS!!!! MOVE THOSE STICKS!!

Suzanne said...

He's funny, saw him doing that.

MITS said...

SHE WENT POOF....

Suzanne said...

And there she goes...

MITS said...

TAI is really trying to get thru that small window

Suzanne said...

Wanda, those white fuzzy things are now gone, so that's a good thing. Just hope they were raindrops. Looks like we're getting ready for takeoff again.

Suzanne said...

He's restless this morning. He wants out, I think.

Costume Lady said...

Whatever is on the cam is disappearing as it get lighter.

MITS said...

Liberty looked right at the cam..

Suzanne said...

There goes Mei now, wanting out too.

MITS said...

she's back

Suzanne said...

Guess who's back???

Costume Lady said...

OK, we are getting serious now!

MITS said...

this is what I like to see Busy Eagles

MITS said...

yeah, Suzanne, Mei was doing her Ray Charles Dance

Suzanne said...

Well, they let Mei out, and Tai is having a fit to get out!

MITS said...

is anyone else's' screen going black at times???

Suzanne said...

Oh, I've heard you guys talking about it, just have never seen her do it! How cool! My my, she's quite good, isn't she? She outta go on tour!

Suzanne said...

Well, poof, belle gone.

Costume Lady said...

Now Lib is trying out the egg cup for size and comfort.

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---EARLY BIRDS---MOVIN'JIM--SUZANNE---WANDA---HELEN & SHARON!!----Well!!--It's still dark on this winter morning in WV--temp. 31°---AND WE HAVE ALL SEEN THE ROYAL FAMILY!!!---What more could we ask for???---Don't ANSWER---they will come in January!!----LIFE IS GOOD!!!---ENJOY DAY!!

Suzanne said...

yea, Mits, gotta hit refresh right away.

Costume Lady said...

Going for more sticks...

Suzanne said...

It must fit pretty good, Wanda, he's not moving much!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING NORMA...
Seeing those two Love Birds is worth getting up early for.

Suzanne said...

Mits, are they alternating on cam 2, Tai and Tian? They keep showing 2 different pandas and views.

Costume Lady said...

Lib sitting in the egg cup reminds me; Capt. Gene thought eagles only layed two eggs. Now he knows better. We are learning together. We never dreamed 49 years ago that we would be "Bird Watching" at this time in our lives and enjoying it so much!

normabyrd said...

HELEN---I just scanned the blog--& I noticed the addresses JO listed for SANDY!!----SHEPHERDSTOWN doesn't have mail delivery---So you must mail it to her box #---That's why they returned your card!!---Has JO given the latest on SANDY'S health!!---Bless her heart!!---MORE PRAYERS!!

Suzanne said...

Poof, bye Lib. Thanks for the nice visit, guys!

MITS said...

I was wondering that myself, Suzanne...unless Tian is with Mei, you rarely get to see him, because the main focus of the cams is to watch Mei and Tai.....

Costume Lady said...

That was hard work; time for a break now...

Suzanne said...

Glad you're both enjoying it together, Wanda! It is fun and exciting, huh?

MITS said...

poof

Suzanne said...

Oh my, look at the doves in PA. When you can see the pic, that is.

Suzanne said...

And squirrels too!

Costume Lady said...

Did any of you ladies see the email that I posted from Bird Girl yesterday? It is all pretty good news from her. She has had such a rough time.

Suzanne said...

Well the darn squirrels chased the doves off, pigs! Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

MITS said...

Norma, I used the same address last year and some nice mail person must have put it in her PO box, this year they didn't do that, must be that nasty Mayor.

Suzanne said...

Yes, Wanda. I'll read it tonight. I hope she's doing better!

Looks like the squirrel and the doves are having a face-off...

normabyrd said...

POOR TAI!!---BLESS HIS HEART!!---He wants out so bad!!----WISH I WERE HIS GATE KEEPER!!!----He's usually out at this time!!

MITS said...

Yes, Wanda, that is wonderful news, hope 2008, is a more healthy and prosperous year for her:).

Suzanne said...

Norma, I don't have mail delivery either, and sometimes they'll put my mail in my box, other times they won't...they used to give it to my upstairs neighbor, but when he moved, they started putting it in my box. But they stamp it to "update my address."

Doves won, a whole gaggle of them on cam.

MITS said...

I don't know what is going on at Tai's den. thought the door was open.

MITS said...

OMG, he is really trying to get out that small window on door

Suzanne said...

I want to reach in and open the doors for him. He's just pacing back and forth to the door! poor thing.

Suzanne said...

He's tryng a different tack...he'll lay on the rocks and watch the door from there. Heaven help us if someone opens it now, he'll charge them to get out. No, back to pacing.

MITS said...

think they may be having some door issues

normabyrd said...

HELEN---Blame the P.O.!!---Folks are complaining here about that too!--SANDY is well known in the community too---Has JO gotten any more info on her condition??

Suzanne said...

Oh surprise! he tried the other door and it was open! He seemed surprised. Mei is up a tree.

MITS said...

Norma, if it were a bigger town, I could understand, but, if I worked there at the PO for some time I think I would know who Sandra is, .......I complain to our PO everytime, the mail is not put thru my mail slot in my door, the subs are to lazy to put the mail thru and leave it on my top step

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---You all mentioned BOB--from CHINCOTEAGUE---He was on last week & said he had found our BLOG & enjoyed watching----Will check back in often---He said they didn't have a cam!!---But he was in & out so fast--you hardly had time to say hello!!

normabyrd said...

SUZ---Whose up the tree??---My PANDA II---shows 'LITTLE PRINCE' inside---Is that MEI up the tree??Help me?

normabyrd said...

SORRY!---You told me who is up the tree!!!---Daughter just called---She is lonesome---now the 3 older kids are in FREDERICK!!---I misread!!

normabyrd said...

BUSHY TAIL SQUIRRELS in PA!!!---Wonder what kind of trees are there???----to keep the turkeys--squirrels & deer all eating there in about the same place---Do you think someone is feeding them??

normabyrd said...

HELEN---Where is TAI'S DAD?---I read that his eye had healed---Think they will ever put him back with MEI?

MITS said...

I think the jury is still out on that one, Norma.

Suzanne said...

Norma, I just read the blogs from Friday to yesterday last night. Don't have time to read back blogs at work. I did see where he came on, but haven't seen where he came back. Wish he would, be nice to have another NWR blogger! Mai is up the tree, poor Tai is still inside. He's going nuts trying to get out. They gave him treats, maybe that will help. Mits said they may be having door issues, maybe they can't get it open. Oh, he just walked somewhere and left the treats, but he's still inside.
I don't know if anyone puts corn or feed out for the birds, squirrels, turkeys and deer, but since they are all eating right in front of the cam, I would guess someone is putting some sort of food out for them.

Zebras, wildebeestes and impala all on africam chilling.

Bai has her arm around ZZBear, both sleeping. That is so cute.

Suzanne said...

OH, both eagles in Tesoro, one on side of nest, how cool!

Suzanne said...

They're gonna switch!!!

Suzanne said...

Wow, that was neat to see. One that was on the eggs just flew off.

Suzanne said...

Ok, one eagle sits high in the nest, one eagle sits low in the nest. Now that I watched them change, you can sure see the difference!
Squigs is alone. Bai left, looks like the little one is waking up and is gonna take off too.
Looks like Tai finally made it outside. I know he's happy!

normabyrd said...

The eggs at the TESORO nest should be hatching soon---1/9/08!!---Isn't that exciting!!---

Suzanne said...

Well, mom made a liar outta me. She just went to get a handgul of bamboo. Picked up Squigs and is hugging her. Guess it's time to nurse. Oh, Bai is rocking Squiggles! Too cute!

Suzanne said...

Oh wow, that quick? That is so cool! Can't wait to see eaglets again!

MITS said...

I think maybe Tai, might be getting an exam....it looked like they released him to the area, where they can take BP's and blood work, and I keep hearing Brenda, one of the keepers say good boy, and they other voice sounds like one of the vets, but not sure??

Suzanne said...

DEER IN PA, 2 OF THEM.

Sunny said...

Good Morning EagleLand! I don't have time to keep up with ALL of your cams, but NCTC is my fav, so you know I'll be here. I'm at work, but the boss is leaving soon, so maybe I'll have mroe time to chat today!

Sunny

Suzanne said...

Norma, 3 deer in PA!!!!

normabyrd said...

This may sound "nutty"---when TAI can't get what he wants---I REALLY want to reach out & get it for him!!-----Maybe I am getting too attached to the 'LITTLE PRINCE"--I need to get away!!!----been watching too much!! ho!

MITS said...

sounds normal to me, Norma

Suzanne said...

Wow, that one deer was right up to the cam and looked in. Norma, did you waive???

Suzanne said...

LOL, sounds normal to me too, Norma.

Suzanne said...

Norma, are you watching the deer? They've been there for a while. Long time for them. 3 of 'em.

MITS said...

Tai is back inside.

Suzanne said...

Aww, bless his heart.

Suzanne said...

He is not a happy camper, is he Mits? He wants OUT! and NOW.

Suzanne said...

Ok, Mits, who is talking to whom through the wire window?

Suzanne said...

Well Preccious is being a mini mom. She's sitting up and has a stick of bamboo, too cute.

MITS said...

I think that is Mei in one yard and Tai in the other, he is getting so big, it confuses me.

Suzanne said...

Deer still in PA. I can't find Norma, she took a break and maybe it turned into a panda nap. Bai just came back in walked around and walked right back out. Precious still has her bamboo, ignored mom.

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Mits.

MITS said...

Tai is eating bamboo now

Suzanne said...

Ok, gotcha. He's happy to be back out.

Suzanne said...

He just sorta falls over on his back, doesn't miss a bite. Too funny.

Suzanne said...

And there goes out Precious... outta the den dragging bamboo stick with her.

Suzanne said...

Precious is coming back, all on her own. She's so cute!

normabyrd said...

Yes!!---Thanks SUZ--I got to see about 3 of them---The cam kept moving back--then catching up!!---

MITS said...

well everyone seems to be back to normal at the panda house at NZ

MITS said...

I e-mailed some of my contacts at the zoo to find out what was going on, but one is out of office til next MONDAY.

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Mits. I'm just glad to see our little prince back outside!
Squiggles is back, with bamboo in tow, and she's playing with it and her hind feet..when she finds them by accident! She is just too precious!
Norma, I'm glad you got to see the deer. Squirrels are back now.

MITS said...

I'VE NEVER SEEN A CUB THAT YOUNG SO INTERESTED IN bAMBOO BEFORE.

MITS said...

The beautiful tigers are on view at NZ.....so sad about the situation out in SF zoo.

Suzanne said...

She's having a blast, isn't she? Imitating mom.

Suzanne said...

Sure is, Mits. I was sorry to hear about the tiger, but guess it was kinda rough with his roommate, along with people. But so sad.

Look at Precious, walking all around her den, bamboo in tow. She's hilarious.Oh, just fell over on our side, but man, she sure got up in a hurry, dind't she?

MITS said...

roly-poly panda bear, she is a hoot.

normabyrd said...

WHEN you were hunting for me I was watching the DEER!!---Then another cup of SEATTLE'S BEST!!---ho!---Next time you are in SHEPHERDSTOWN----They have a GREAT coffee shop!!---Several blends!!---It is the BEST!!---I got some for CHRISTMAS!!

MITS said...

Tai Shan was never that interested in bamboo, until he was almost 1

Suzanne said...

LOL, ok, Norma. I just wanted you to see the deer, you said you don't get to see them much, and they were there for a long time. Kinda late in the day for them, too. But enjoy your coffee! Isn't that what Jim drinks? Seattle's Best?
Look at Precious hugging that huge piece of bamboo!

Suzanne said...

Wow, this kid sure likes playing with it! That piece is waaaay bigger than she is, she's too funny. She's not giving up, though!

normabyrd said...

Looking forward to you joining in SUNNY!!---Really have missed you!!---Did you say your MOTHER lived in SD?----We have this GREAT EAGLE woman--DEB--on our blog now from SD!!!---She is spending the holidays in CA with her family!!!

Suzanne said...

Oh, Mits, you know what? Remember when Bai brought in a whole ton of bamboo, then was throwing it up in the air? Bai got Squiggles caught up too, and was throwing Squigs in the air with the bamboo! Maybe she figures if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em!

MITS said...

she is just amazing.

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---No!---remember when he was bragging about his great FOLGERS COFFEE!!---I kept telling him to buy SEATTLE'S BEST!!---ho!---don't think he ever did!!

MITS said...

that is her bamboo and she is not letting go of it:).

Suzanne said...

Hi Sunny, didn't see you come in! If you can, you have to check out the SD panda cub. Zhen Zhen, Precious. She certainly lives up to her name!
She's trying to eat the bamboo now, she's so cute.

Suzanne said...

Look at her, a total mimi mom!!! Holding it with both paws and trying to chew, too cute.

normabyrd said...

KIDS---That's why I am so sorry we don't get to watch the 'ATLANTA BEAUTY' up close---You always read that she tries to mimics everything LUN LUN does!!----They also said that LUN LUN can just give her the 'EVIL EYE' & the little LOVEBUG will stop & behave!!!

Suzanne said...

Well, she made it out of the den. So much for the entertainment this morning!

normabyrd said...

WHOA!!---I thought they would get rid of ROTO PANDA after CHRISTMAS!!

Suzanne said...

LOL, that's funny, Norma. But yea, I'd like to see her more active too. Seems she used to be when I first started watching, but now everytime I turn the cam on, she's sleeping.

MITS said...

I'm still waiting for my Robo-Panda from Wanda...lol

Suzanne said...

Mei is strolling. I love to watch pandas walk, they have that "runway" walk, they just swish and sway as they go. Swish left, sway right. Adorable.

Suzanne said...

And the second I said that, they switched the cam to Tai sleeping. Oh well...

Suzanne said...

EAGLE BWE.

Suzanne said...

Moose cam is on, nobody home.

normabyrd said...

CNN NEWS: BHUTTO the FORMER P.M. OF PAKISTAN was assassinated this a.m.---She was shot!!!---

MITS said...

I just saw that, Norma

Suzanne said...

Did she die? Last news I heard was she was in surgery after a suicide bomber hit her party's headquarters. She was giving a speech.

normabyrd said...

EAGLE AT BWE!!
