Robyn said...

My post got eaten...

Good morning once again Mits, Suzanne, Wanda & Gene, Norma, Sharon ad anyone else I missed.

I was hoping there was word on Sandy's condition this morning.

Overcast here in S.C. chilly too but over 45 degrees.

Nice to see there will be hatchlings soon. Does anyone know how many eggs were laid?

paula eagleholic said...

Good Morning, Friends!

I hope Steve is away playing!

normabyrd said...

CHECKED ME NEST---Wind is BLOWING HARD!!---TREE is swaying!!---No SNOW!

paula eagleholic said...

I heard it was a suicide bomber

MITS said...

yes, he shot her first, than blew himself, and about 20 other people up

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' ROBYN!!---You can't see anything in that nest!!!---Just the top of the eagles' heads!!---They state the eggs could hatch by 1/9/08!!----You are warmer there--it's 37° here--but sun isn't out yet---cloudy!!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Robyn! Yes, she was shot twice I guess, then the suicide bomber blew everything up. There is quite a bit about it online. I checked MSNBC, FOX, and the Wash Post.
Eagle still in nest BWE.

Suzanne said...

the other eagle is in BWO!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' PAULA!!----You know we are getting close to #500!!---ho!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Paula. You should have seen litle Zhen Zhen attacking bamboo this morning. Too funny. They've switched views at SD, we're in an outside den of Bai's. Lots of bamboo laying around, but no pandas laying around!

normabyrd said...

DIVERS SUZ!!---THEY HAVE TO GO BACK!!

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at BWO and BWE

paula eagleholic said...

Suz - I saw her doing that yesterday....I thought it was straw, but I guess it was bamboo! She is soooo cute!!

Suzanne said...

She's a hoot, Paula! Norma, missed the divers. Haven't seen them in a long time, but glad you got to see them.

normabyrd said...

JO!!--The little OTTERS have had their swim & now they are huddled on the rocks drying off!!---They are so FUNNY!

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at BWE is just hanging out

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE--SORRY---I didn't see them go back either!----I just checked in & they were there (2) waving!!!---1st time I have seen them since they had to fix the cam!!!--

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at Tesoro up and preening

normabyrd said...

A SLOTH BEAR is down next to the window---A bunch of young kids --faces near the glass watching & pointing, etc.---The BEAR is just staring back at them!!!---cute pic!

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!

In case you didn't know, the eagle pair is on the BWE nest this morning.

Jim

Robyn said...

It is nice to see the nests active again and we are anticipating the new season

Have a wonderful day everyone

Suzanne said...

You too, Robyn!

Morning, Jim. You're up early!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' JIM!!---We (SUZ & I) were discussing your brand of coffee this morning!!----about how you LOVE "SEATTLE'S BEST" coffee!!!-- ho!----(don't yell)!!!

normabyrd said...

I was reading about the BWE & nest, etc.---I hadn't see the EAGLE NEST AT ERIE----WOW!!---LISA says that's the largest in the area!!!----If you haven't seen it---it's what you would call----"WAY COOL"!!!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning - It is so active in here this morning from the Royal Couple & other nests to Pandas to Deer - I love tuning in! I see the little otters, Norma.

I did not successfully yet make contact with Tom to find out Sandra's
condition. Like Norma said - Use the POBox # 1623 for cards to her home.

Mema Jo said...

BIG TURKEYS IN PA
LOTS OF TURKEYS

LOTS OF MOOSE
SITTING IN THE SNOW

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---Did you ever find out if the photos in your magazine were taken by BOB??

MITS said...

GOBBLE-GOBBLE!!!

Mema Jo said...

Lord Blackwater in his nest

movin said...

Morning, Suz, Norma, Mema Jo, Robyn....

I mentioned the news note and video on ZZ on the blog last night, but I forgot to say that Dr. Sharpe has a short (he's vacationing) but interesting Update on the IWS site too.

Jim

Mema Jo said...

Thanks, Jim With the holidays I forgot about checking the Wed IWS report!

normabyrd said...

WOW!!---I still can't get over the size of those turkeys!!!---Wish they had more color on that cam!!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jo! Turkeys are still there. Busy place this morning!
Norma, he hasn't answered my blog note, so don't know. I swear they are both his. Maybe he sold the pics to them, and that's why they didn't give him credit.
Mei is trying to get in, maybe she wants a treat. Don't see our SD pair. Darn.
I haven't seen any activity in Kent. Wonder if we can give up on that nest for this year. Maybe they found another place... without George!
There are a bunch of gobblers in PA, wow.

normabyrd said...

1 BWE---

Suzanne said...

Oh, Bai just walked in! Think she waits for me to post, then does what I just said she doesn't. Oh, it's Thursday, maybe Precious' exam time.

MITS said...

yeah, Suzanne, I'm thinking the same thing about KENT.

Suzanne said...

Norma, you're on a roll today! You've seen the deer, turkeys, and the divers, and our special kids. And of course Bai and Squiggles, what more could you want!!

MITS said...

2 AT BWE

Mema Jo said...

How nice to see both the Lord and Lady in their nest - think they are also moving some sticks.......


NEED A NEW THREAD, PLEASE.

movin said...

It's a coolish 39° here this morn, but the brightness factor (sunshine) is fairly high even at 8:00 a.m., and it's supposed to break 60° for the high of the day.

They say it's going to be more Santa Ana winds later today, but they also forecast possible rain for tomorrow!??

Jim

normabyrd said...

HEY SUNNY!!----I hope that "sign on stuff" isn't stopping you from getting on the BLOG!!!----It happened to me last night---First time in a long time!!----It gives me a stomach ache when it happens--I am such a baby!!! ho!

Mema Jo said...

Norma has one more wish I am sure - to see the grandkids from FL!

Suzanne said...

Bai was pacing, but now someone just looked in on her. She's laying down watching the door! Think she wants her baby back!

Mema Jo said...

One at BWE went POOF !

movin said...

Yep, it looks like the BW pair is spending some "quality time" together before starting 2008's family.

Jim

normabyrd said...

YOU ARE RIGHT SUZANNE!!!---The BLOG has been good to us this a.m.----Have you seen a PA turkey in the wild?---Wondered if they are appearing to be larger than they are!!!

Suzanne said...

Yeah, Jo, but I can't help her there.
Bai is sitting there watching the door.
Mits, I think that's a shame, and gonna miss those guys, but I haven't even seen them near the nest, much less do nestorations! Used to see one roosting in the tree early AM, but not for quite a while.

Oh, person back talking to Bai, and now gone. Bai is probably saying, be quiet, give me my baby!

normabyrd said...

YEAH JO!!----I talked with their MOM this a.m. & told her----I bet they are either staying inside or freezing to death!!---ho!

Mema Jo said...

All 5 Moose are visible at the feeders.
I can't get over how large those turkeys are - I am sure that the cam people throw out corn or some type of feed to get the wildlife in front of the camera. I love it because you never know what you will see. One of those turkeys would feed my whole crew!

Suzanne said...

Have never seen a wild turkey in the woods, but they are huge.

I posted some pics to the album from yesterday and this morning's visit. Got a really nice fly in and Belle was checking out the cam to see if Mits and Norma were really on the other end that early!

Oh, Squiggles just came back, and therer they both go through the little door! Well, Squigs is thinking about it, but Bai is gone.

Suzanne said...

So Bai is long gone, and now our little Precious is all alone and thinking about it. Door is still open, but she's not going through it to follow mom!
Aww, Mom just stuck her head in and sniffed noses with Precious, came in and walked around, and left again. Well, and back again. Think she's trying to get Squigs to follow her out. Squigs is almost running, look at her go!

Bob Quinn said...

Suzanne - I haven't seen them but I doubt those are my photos. They would have contacted me for permission.

Sold my camera (Canon 20D) on eBay today! I ordered a new one (Canon 40D). Can't wait to get out this weekend and take it for a spin.

Suzanne said...

Bai back, Precious not leaving. She's an independent little thing!

Suzanne said...

Bob, hello! Are you sure they're not your pics? The soaring eagle is exactly like one you have, and the baby fox pic on the side is also the same as one you have. Do you have/can you get the magazine? From the Conserve the Bay folks.

Suzanne said...

Bai is having a fit, she wants to get out, and Precious isn't going anywhere. What a hoot!

MITS said...

GREAT SHOT OF THE SLOTH DURING THE FEEDING DEMO AT NZ CAM 1A

normabyrd said...

Looked in SD---SQUIGGLES all alone in a room "running" all around!!--BAI waltzes in--goes right by little one & back out the door!!---The she comes back & goes toward SQUIGGLES----& WE CAN'T SEE WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!!

Suzanne said...

Did they leave, Norma? I see the sliding door is now closed. Guess Bai finally got the baby outta there. Ok, you can change the cam view now, thanks!

Suzanne said...

Ok, person arrived. Went out another door. So since he walked in and through and out, I'm guessing the pandas are now outside. No, oh look, he's getting Squiggles!!! Picking her up. She doesn't want to go.

normabyrd said...

HELEN---What's he eating or rubbing off those small pillars?---I have wondered what those things were there for??

Suzanne said...

RU watching? They closed the door so I guess Bai couldn't come in and get the guy for handling her baby. So ok, where are they now?

Bob Quinn said...

Hmmmm. I tried to find a copy of the magazine online but couldn't. If they are mine they stole them. There's been a few cases in the past where people used my photos without my permission (that I know about) but at least in those cases they credited me.

normabyrd said...

I'm so PROUD of our GIRL---She's got SPUNK!!!----ho!----Maybe we could name her "SPUNKETTA" ho!

MITS said...

NORMA, they are replicas of termite mounds, that is their favorite meal in the wild, but we can't have termites at the zoo, so they replace them with mealy bugs for the demo. They put their big mouths over the opening and suck them up, sounds like a vacuum cleaner when they are doing it, I love the sloths.

normabyrd said...

SUZ!!---She's outside!!

normabyrd said...

THAT'S WHY they have to have their teeth brushed often!!---I enjoy watching them too!!!

MITS said...

They are probably getting Bai and Z ready for the outside showing between 9 and 11, their time

MITS said...

Norma, the sloths are much more people friendly than the pandas, they seem to enjoy company

movin said...

Bai is just sitting down to a large "American-style" breakfast of bamboo, and ZZ is already climbing the the "trees."

Jim

Suzanne said...

I see they finally got Squiggles outside! GBai is eating bamboo, and she's gonna climb. Or well, maybe chew bamboo too. Or climb. She's adorable, and man she sure looks bigger! She's gonna tackle that tree.

MITS said...

B and Z are in the "classroom exhibit"

normabyrd said...

WHOA!!---They should sell tickets---She attempted to climb up this big limb they have---fell right on her bottom---over to BAI & bamboo & she is going in another direction!!---She is ADORABLE!!---Inspecting every thing---so curious!!

Suzanne said...

Bob, I didn't bring it to work with me today, but I will bring it in tomorrow. Email me with your fax number and I can fax you a copy.
shall3991@yahoo.com
This is the first time I've seen them both outside in a long time, and look at our little Precious go. Think she loves exploring. Oopsies, fell over, but got right back up and is now climbing a cub sized tree branch on the ground. Look at her go.

movin said...

Drive safely and have a great day, Suz...

I've got to go to other tasks too ... talk to everybody later.

Jim

Suzanne said...

Wow, look at her climbing! Up she goes.

MITS said...

they did say on their blog, not to worry about her falling, she will be doing that alot, and mom will be pulling her back down alot too.

MITS said...

she is a brave little cub, reminds me of Tai when he was that age.

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Jim, you have a great day too!
I can't stop watching this cutie pie! We have now come to a bridge, and think she's gonna try to cross it. A branch or tree trunk. Oh, she's gonna do it, look at her she is adorable!!!!

Yup, we made it. Wow, I'm impressed.

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---SAFE JOURNEY HOME TODAY!!---LOVE PATS TO "G" & HOUSE MATES!!!----

p.s.--Are you going to stay over & watch PRECIOUS???

Mema Jo said...

Watching LunLun and her big girl ButaButa! Also watching ZZ and Bai!

You're right Norma She is Spunky!!

MITS said...

she is an outstanding climber

Suzanne said...

Uh oh, too many branches, Precious is stuck. Bai of course, is eating and ignoring her. But she's gonna figure it out.

MITS said...

just goes to show you the 4th child is on its own.....Mei would have pulled Tai off the branch by now

Suzanne said...

Norma, funny you should ask. Someone just came to my door and asked if I forgot to go home! That's pretty bad...

But I want to see her get down.

Thanks for the well wishes going home. This is just too adorable to leave right this minute!

Costume Lady said...

Poor Baby! I wish I could have a video of this.

Mema Jo said...

Ho Ho Suzanne! You are hooked!

I won't start on you again - just let me know when you do it!

Safe trip home!

MITS said...

she can go up, not sure if she knows how to come down, but she will figure it out

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

EAGLE ALERT - OUR NEST!

Suzanne said...

LOL, thanks, Jo! She is a hoot! Didn't work one way, so she is trying another way. Not too sure about this one either, but she looks like she's having a good time!

And ho ho ho, but who has appeared????? Candy, no less! Hey girl, I can actually say hi before you logoff again.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And gone again! Definitely Belle, she looked huge!

MITS said...

missed them

MITS said...

Candy, what does/// mean?

Suzanne said...

Look how high she is! Think she's trying to get down now, but too many branches all together. She's adorable. I'll bet she just takes gives up for a few and takes a panda nap right where she is!

MITS said...

think she is just going to drop down

MITS said...

she has got to be exhausted

Mema Jo said...
