Good morning, Suzanne, Norma and Helen. It is a warm 34 here today, I will be gone most of today, have to run up to Sioux Falls. Then tomorrow I am off to California for a week. This will be the first Christmas together for my family in 10 years!
WOW, Deb that is great....MERRY CHRISTMAS
Sun is shining in ME---The MT net is blowing in the wind!!!---Now we want to see the EAGLES!!
Hello:)I finally saw something besides squirrels and doves on the PA cam, there was a raccoon when I looked last nite.
And, they are some really fat racoons too.
WOW DEB!!---I wish you & your family a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!---ENJOY---ENJOY your holiday!!!
WHOA MEGAN!!---Did you wave at him?----It is a surprise when I look at the sight & see any animal!!---I hope you get to see those huge turkeys!!--
Have a great trip, Deb! All shopped out, Norma?
Just heard--NPR-----JAPAN will not be killing any hump-back whales FOR A YEAR!!----Then ???
Morning, everyone. Deb, have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS with your family! Enjoy the warmer weather in California.
Thanks, Mits, you have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS too. Looking forward to the time off. I saw Peggy's Cove this morning, it is beautiful with that snow.
Megan, that racoon, or at least a racoon was on the PA cam this morning. Fat little bugger. Looked like he had something to eat, but couldn't see what it was.
Still haven't seen Lib or Belle this morning. Maybe he took her out for breakfast at the Potomac Diner. Or maybe they're both still sleeping in...
Bai and ZZBear just (FINALLY) came back to the den!
I just watched that Marine Corp video that got sent out. It is pretty impressive.
That's great news, Norma. Then the letter writing starts again before the year is up! Eventually, they will stop that all together! Let's hope, anyway.
MEGAN---OOOH YES!!!---& I used to love to shop----Also didn't buy anything for myself---ho!---& I used to do that!!
Good Morning Suzanne, Wanda, Dave, Mits, Candy, Norma, Megan and Watchers and anyone I missed.
Caught up on comments thank you all.
Now have to check mail and keep eye for our eagles.
Dave you have a nice Christmas and New Years since you will be out taking pictures soon.
Deb enjoy your family Christmas in California.
SUZANNE--Have you seen the DIVERS?-----I haven't since they came back!!
Howdy Dana, Suzanne and Helen! Bet you're glad it's Friday Suzanne:)
doesn't give the humps much time to recuperate??? Why are they stopping, pressure?
Almost all the PINK FLAMINGOS at NZOO are in the water now!!-----It's so relaxing to watch these graceful creatures!!
Morning, Dana.
Norma, haven't seen the divers in a long time! Had the cam open this morning for a little while, but closed it before it even got daylight. Was cutting some CDs, and didn't want a lot of cams open.
Oh Megan, you have no idea! Soooo looking forward to not coming in here for 2 days next week.
Mits, I hope they keep the pressure on, but I think this is a concession on Japan's part to shut us up for a little while. I'm sure it won't last, and we'll be back to more letter writing and anything else we can do.
YIKES, The tech at BW thinks their solar panel is defective, will check it out today....thanks, Lisa for updating.
A right whale swam right by my condo, late one afternoon several years ago, Coast Guard was right with it to gently direct it farther out to sea....no one believed me, thought I was into the G&T's
Japan's whaling fleet in the Antarctic will avoid killing humpback whales for now but will press on with plans to catch about 1,000 other whales by early in the new year, a government official said Friday.
The move follows an announcement by Australia on Wednesday that it would send a fisheries patrol ship to gather evidence for a possible international court challenge to halt Japan's yearly slaughter.
"Japan has decided not to catch humpback whales for one year or two," Nobutaka Machimura, a government spokesman, told reporters.
"Japan's relations with Australia could improve, but it depends on how it will see our decision," Machimura said.
He said Japan made the decision after holding talks with the head of the International Whaling Commission.
Here is a little more from the article I found:
Japan's whaling fleet set sail last month with plans to catch more than 1,000 whales, including 50 humpbacks. It is due to return to port early next year.
Foreign Minister Masahiko Komura of Japan said earlier Friday that he wanted to discuss whaling with his Australian counterpart.
Komura defended Tokyo's whaling program, saying that it was in line with international treaties and that he saw no problem with it.
Komura said he would like to speak with his Australian counterpart soon. "We will try to seek each other's understanding," he said.
Japan, which says whaling is a cherished cultural tradition, abandoned commercial whaling in accordance with an international moratorium in 1986 but began what it calls a scientific research whaling program the following year.
HELEN!!----NPR didn't elaborate---They just announced it on their a.m. news report!!---must have been the pressure---but report did say they would continue to kill "other" whales!!------Will watch for more info!!
Norma, Deb just gave us a fountain of info, Thanks Deb.
THANKS DEB!----Good information---I agree---it's hard to believe they are going to stop---even for a year---But all the pressure being put on them by the rest of the world---is at least getting their attention---They believe it's their "God Given Right" to continue to hunt & kill the whales!!!---
Your welcome, the article also said the Japanese are not eating near as much whale as they used to and that the demand goes down every year.
Thanks for that info, Deb. I just wish they'd stop totally, and all whales, not just humpbacks. Doubt that will happen in Japan, though.
Somebody better tell them, GOD is not happy:(
Oh, Mits, did you see Lisa's Happy Holidays cards? Click on the link, awesome eagles they are!!!
Good job, Lisa.

Megan I keep thing about what you told me on the train about the tree you cut down for Christmas. Virginia has beautiful cedars.
Good morning everyone. Hope your day is special and your weekend is awesome. Not sure who is and who is not around or not going to be around from now thru Christmas. So I will extend my Merry Christmas Greetings to all celebrating Christmas on Dec 25. If you are celebrating another Winter Holiday then of course I wish you and yours a very wonderful Holiday Season as well.
Will lurk some and perhaps post occasionally but mostly will catch you all in the New Year. Work Schedule will get a little crazy now. But it starts as Santa's Helper tonight. Next to the surprise my kids pulled off a couple of weeks ago, on a human level tonight with Santa and some awfully special kids will be the hilight of my Season.
Enjoy all and be safe.
Deb - have a great trip to CA - sure it will be wonderful for everyone to be together.
Norma be brave at the dentist.
Have a wonderful Christmas Glo. You have been such a wonderful friend this year. You are appreciated.
Dave and Deb I have really enjoyed your pictures. Fantastic. thanks
Maybe I will see a California eagle at my dad's. They have seen one since they moved out of Orange County. My niece tells me to be ready for a week without my eagles.
OK, its off with me. I have morning chores to do. I leave the house at 7:00. Its still dark. burrrr. I will be learking today.
I'd better get going, I don't think we are going to get a visit this morning. BBL.
Good morning everyone, just popping in to say hello. Dan is at his ofice and Tori is still sleeping so I took the time to myself to catch up some and say HI :)
Saw many redtails flying and perching on our way down here, didn't see his eastern bluebirds yet as it has been raining overnight and Lake Norman is slowly evaporating :( at least it looks that way.
I am out of school till January 8th and will be enjoying our time here in SC for the next 2 weeks. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday, however you celebrate
Going to read this mornings blogging...bbl or over the course of the week.
Good to here you made it safely, Robyn, enjoy your stay and relax, and have fun:)
Thanks Mits we intend to. Amazing how time works with you when you are patient, I waited for this day almost 18 mths. Tori's smiles and laughter around Dan only makes it all the better.
That is great, Robyn. Patience is a virtue

They are sure staying a long time. I wish a buck would come, I have only seen does.
The deer are gone and I should be doing stuff instead of watching them anyway. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas. I will try to sneak in while I am in California, but my sister has our time pretty full. Will have more time once I get to my dad's. Hope you see lot's of eagles in the next week!!
There are some new photos of ZZ on SD news. They were taken today. Just a few, but sooo cute.
I know it isn't even 10 pm yet, but this old gal has been running around a lot today! I feel great - just can't stop yawning..
Good Night All
Pleasant dreams and peaceful sleep
Prayers for all needs being said
I've been doing the same thing, Jo. Yawning and dozing off.
I have had a long day too. I stayed in town until I got my Christmas shopping ALL DONE.
You rest well.
OK, who started that yawning thing? :)
Yay - Rudolph is here!
Let's try this one...
I love Snoopy!
Ooops, forgot to save!
One more time...
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
Like your tree, Paula. You got yours to twinkle. I'll try mine again tomorrow.

Gave Mother a BIG surprise tonight it was part of her Christmas present. She was very very surprised and really enjoyed what we did. hee hee now she doesn't want anything more for Christmas lol she has presents coming lol she'll have to unwrap them. 81 she cracks me up
Wanda - email me your picture if you want it to twinkle...
Yee Haw!! Doesn't take much to make me happy!
Good night for now!
Where's Nilla been???
I love your twinking pictures Paula. I'm like Wanda lol I can't get any to twinkle either. Don't have any now but last year I tried. No twinkle.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE...Paula, I love them all:).
Hi, everybody,
I see there is another interesting entry today in the ZZ blog (on the "News" page), and she will begin public display tomorrow for two hours in the morning.
Apparently, they aren't doing weekly exams now, or they are but they aren't posting them.
Jim
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE...
I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND A GREAT CHRISTMAS.
JIM
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
No visit yet from Lib & Belle. It's Sat. morning, so I guess they are sleeping in. They better rest while they can...it won't be long til there will be no rest for them!
There was a herd of deer in Pa.
At Tesoro, an eagle in the nest was very busy doing something (maybe turning eggs).
There are 2 eagles in Blackwater osprey nest.....eagle nest cam still not working.
Bai and ZZ sleeping side by side and Mom has her arm over ZZ...adorable.
About 10:30 last night, Paula went AVATAR crazy. She has about 6 different ones posted. Maybe we should vote on which one we would like her to keep.
I vote for the CANDLES.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONEI saw Paulas' pics and I like them all.
GOOD MORNING HELEN
Yes, they are all nice, come on, choose one just for fun.
There is a panda at NZ down in a hole and is leaning on the rim of it sound asleep. Cute.
okie-dokie.....the sparkly tree:)
I tried to print out a photo of him/her and it turned out black/blank. Must be a National Security thing or my printer need help.
EAGLE UP IN MAINE, EATING
Flock of doves at Pa. now.
ZZ and Bai still sleeping (ZZ is going public today from 9-11am. Wonder what she will think of all the people that surely will be there to see her? Hope I can remember to tune in.
Thanks Mits! I am watching the eagle in Maine eating in that snowy nest!
Just beautiful!
Looks like it is plucking feathers!
Or fur, perhaps.
2 eagles at BW
Looks like feathers!
LOUD crow very nearby!
Can't figure out if it is fur or fin, or feather is my guess, noisy crow wants some of the action or it might be a relative eagle is eating.
I vote for feathers...that was a very long fin!
Whatever it is is yummie!
Are you all done your shopping, Mits?
I think saw, Paula, still have some things coming from on-line, going thru the stuff now, and taking inventory
GOOD MORNING PAULA...
LADIES, WE HAVE A NEW THREAD.
COME ON OVER.............
Eagle is really enjoying its breakfast
LOL....MEGAN!
Well, my hubby started his yesterday, and I think will continue today....he has 1 person to buy for.
eagle flew the coop.
went to grocery store yesterday, think I have eveything
They are still talking to each other in MAINE, but the crows are louder....Megan, I don't understand the madness this season brings, I really thought after 9/11 people would put things in proper perspective, but guess not:(
in those FLA nests, its now you see them, and now you don't
and a partridge in a pear tree!!!!!
Norma, what ever you are on I want some:):):):)!!!!!
