GOOD MORNING STEVEN!!---Thanks for the new thread---COLD a.m. here in WV----BLACK DAY IN WV----WV FOOTBALL COACH is moving to MICHIGAN!!----ENJOY YOUR DAY!!--
No Suz and no visitors to our nest this morning. Suz has bad weather, don't know what Lib & Belle's excuse is.
Good Morning NORMA...I knew Rodrigues was considering that move, but didn't know he decided to do it. Oh, woe is me!!
Wanda, they are probably sitting really close by....fooling us.
Going for coffee. BB
Mits, I am going for a cup of coffee, maybe they will come now!
So am I. Wanda...
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!!---CONGRATS! WANDA--#1 today & always------HELLO RED---COME ON OVER---It's a DARK COLD a.m. here in WV--temp. 29° now!!----SCHOOLS in area on 2 hour delay!!! ENJOY YOUR DAY!!!

MORNIN' HELEN!!--I thought the ROYAL COUPLE would be in the nest keeping warm!!!---
OK, GOING TO GET COFFEE NOW.
WOW!---SHORT & FAST!!!
HOW COOL WAS THAT?
I haven't seen them since Friday, I think.
LIB is sitting with the sun on his back
POOF!!!!
SHOW'S OVER..
Guess the wind didn't do any damage to the nest....no repairs necessary.
DOE real close up on PA CAM
Darn it, did they have to show up while I was at the bus stop?? Howdy Norma and Red.
GUESS SUZANNE isn't here this a.m.!!-----I hope nothing is wrong & the icy road are the reason she isn't here!!---
MORNIN' MEGAN!---GREAT to see your lovely face!!---How are your sales going?
Had a very good season, Norma. Love riding around Shepherdstown and seeing my wreaths everywhere.
PA had tons of school cancellations and delays this am, sure the rads weere a mess when Suzanne got up to check. She said she had been catching up on her sleep with all this time off.
NOT TOO COLD for the 'LITTLE PRINCE'!!----Eating his bamboo---which seems to be blowing in the wind!!----ADORABLE---ADORABLE!!
Never thought about that Megan, cool....how is your daughters' hand doing?????
MEGAN!!---You are sold out!!!---WHOA!!---That's wonderful!!!----Now what will you have to do??---KIDDIN'----Don't hit me!!!
doing really great, Mits, she still can't do a lot of things that require strength with it, but she is drawing like crazy.
Well, Norma, I figure if people don't have a wreath by now, they're not getting one, so it's time for me to stop making wreaths and get some Xmas things done.
Wonderful, Megan, the strength will come back in time....tell her to drink lots of milk...:):):)
HELEN---Been meaning to ask you---DO YOU HAVE YOUR SNOW MEN OUT?---
Norma, this is the first time I have not put them out, and I miss them, but we will be at the kids for Christmas and away right after New Years.....I miss the little buggers, and so does hubby, he did bring one of the musical ones down and plays it every time he passes by.
1st time I have seen a live animal at the PA site!!!---Beautiful doe!----SUZ was always seeing TURKEYS--But I haven't seen them yet!!
Doe is still hanging around the PA CAM
SEEM TO HAVE A DEFORMED RIGHT FRONT LEG
THAT'S COOL HELEN----Won't be long before little hands will be ringing them!!!
I have been watching her too, Norma.
CHECK THE FLAMINGOS!!---Beautiful site!!------They are all in the water & "moving around"---with some "black"? birds flying back & forth!!---The sun is reflecting on the water & it sparkles like diamonds!!
Doves are on the PA CAM now.
The SUN is shining at the ME nest!!---You can certainly hear the wind howling---don't see any more snow----than yesterday!!
SHARON'S BLUEFIELD has snow too!!--Maybe we will see her sled riding down that hill!!!---Hopes she waves!!
I think the little birds at the PA CAM are chickadees
I can't get CAPE CORAL nest!---Have you tried?
DUDE....SURFS' UP AT PEGGY'S COVE:)!
I can't either, Norma, but it happens sometimes.
I wish Peggys' Cove had sound.
I do too Mits. Love what's going on there now! Sound of the waves crashing would be awesome.
SUN is shining brightly at the TESORO NEST!!!
Morning, all...dealing with storm damage here at work....BBL
December 14-16: Tian Tian's Cherry Eye
Tian Tian, our adult male giant panda, has developed a condition called “cherry eye,” involving his right eye. This perfectly describes the protrusion of the third eyelid, with its associated tear gland, out of the inner corner of the eye. The condition is usually caused by infection or trauma; certain breeds of dogs are more prone to it than others. Due to the sudden onset, we believe Tian may have injured it interacting with Mei Xiang and/or hit the corner of his eye with a bamboo stalk. Tian is being treated with steroid and antibiotic drops for now, to see if the gland and lid will retract back into place. He will remain separated from Mei Xiang so that the exposed tissue is not harmed further by any rough play. Now we all squint when looking at him. Amazingly, Tian is completely unaffected and has not seemed to notice anything!
On the morning of December 16, Tian Tian was anesthetized for a thorough eye examination. Due to the condition of his third eyelid, it was decided that it was best to remove it. The third eyelid is rarely seen and covers the eye usually when it is closed. During the anesthesia, Tian received a complete physical, including semen collection. Any time a Zoo animal is anesthetized, we try to collect as many samples and as much data as we can. Tian appears to be in excellent health. We will await all the lab tests to confirm this morning’s assessment.
POOR TIAN!!!
Thanks for the update DR. MITS!!---That's so sad---hope all goes well for him!!---He just tangled with the WRONG FEMALE!!---MEI will miss him---I bet!!----KEEP US UPDATED!!!
I'm a little tiffed at Mei, I like Tian alot. I know we can't give them human characteristics, but he just seems nicer in my book, just a happy-go-lucky guy, living with a witch.
LUN LUN is roaming around the hammock in ATLANTA----Don't see the 'LITTLE BEAUTY'!!----Hope she is awake too!!
WHOA! WHOA! MITS!!----If she doesn't want to play when he does---Nothing wrong with that!!!
water play at the NZ zoo
don't know which one it is, but runs to the fence, gets wet, then runs up a tree
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE....
JIM
HELEN---I'm sorry---I meant to say MEI was always pushed away when she wanted to play with her parent----& She pushed TIA away when she wasn't in the mood to play when him!!----That's they way she was reared----(okay)
Good Morning; It's good to be
here this morning.We had one BAD
snow storm here with lots of high wind,and snow drifts everywhere.
We also had some light rain on top
of that.
I am glad to be here today.
your eagle friend
Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave
Don't think Mei Xiang had much interaction with her parents, she and Tian came here when she was 2 and he was 3, and they have always been together, other pandas in captivity only come together to mate
GOOD MORNING DAVE...Good to hear from you.
Good Morning Norman, Helen and Jim. It is 12 so far this morning, but we are supposed to get into the 30's. It is a beautiful, sunny day.
We have had a couple of really nasty days here in the Eastern Panhandle (We live about 3 miles from Lib & Belle's nest).
I see Dave and Wanda are on also, Hi to you, too.
GOOD MORNING JIM AND DEB...
GOOD MORNIN' INDIANA EAGLE NESTING---DAVE!---We got very little snow--Sleet & ice---which melted yesterday & but the WINDS WERE TERRIFYING!!---Now it's 31° & a wee bit slick---
MORNIN' JIM & DEB!---Sorry ---I must leave now--bridge date!!--Later!!
Off to run a few errands, no change in Kent nest, good close-up of moose on Moosewatch.
Guess I'll see if I can contact my uncle in Sioux City...
Wind chill of -8 this morning there.
Later,
Jim
Eagles at BWE
Off to do some Christmas Shopping while the weather holds up.
Have a good day.
I'll bet Suz is without power today and has stayed home.
Bad up in the mountains, lots of trees down over roads, lines down. Three people here at work have said the power won't be back on till Wednesday...
Hello - I've been in and then before I get a chance to say Good Morning something calls me away from here....
I am headed out for a few hours..
Thanks for the photos of this morning's quick visit, Mits.
Talk with you all later.......
Moose is walking in view of the cam now.
Brought a friend
EAGLE ALERT!!!
Eagle alert our nest!!!
Hi Megan!!
Beautiful eagle alert!
looks comfy sitting there.
Just standing in the middle of the nest!
Howdy Mits and Sharon
hey Paula!!
Hello Mits and Paula!
Well hello Paula,Sharon and Mits.
Hello, Paula, Sharon and Megan:):):)
And, hello Megan!
I bet that is a wild ride in that nest, the wind is still really gusting here.
Looks too comfy...is the cam froze?
Nope...eagle just moved head
Sounds like the Waltons... :):)
Up and gone...
and GONE!!
ha, ha, good nite John boy...
I was just thinking the same thing, Megan.
I got back just in time to see the eagle alert. How beautiful. There is an eagle at the West End nest also.
now 2 eagles at WE, Deb.
One day last week all three were there, maybe we will get to see them again today!
Turkeys on Deer cam!
EAGLE ALERT!! Both!
EAGLES OUR CAM
2 Eagles our nest!!!
Belle looks all fluffed up in that wind!
Hard to get a clear pic with the wind gustying
Looks like love is in the air...
Yup, saw that kissy-kissy
Only one left at West End.
Finally got a couple of clear pics!
Belle is gone, off the launchpad
Lib still just hanging out!
Where's Norma!! Those turkeys have been there a long time. Too bad she is gone playing bridge.
Of course, just as I type that, they leave.
Guess everyone has been busy - don't know if they came this eve or not...was too busy to watch....
Catch ya'll later!
Deep snow out in Oregon nest.
Whew! Finally got the lights on the tree...now for some ornaments!
go for it, Paula.....GOODNIGHT EVERYONE
Paula, you need one of those trees with the lights already on it. My Mom got one and she loves it. There are some things she just can't do anymore (reaching and bending and stooping) because it causes her too much pain. This way, all she has to do is hang a few ornaments on it and it looks very festive.
Good night Mits.
I had some luck shopping today. The best thing was finding 5 Nicholas Sparks book for my Mom that she hasn't read. It is hard to buy something for someone her age; her new-found love of reading has made it easier for me this year. Gene and I went to Ryans for dinner (no crab legs), so I didn't have to cook.
Now I am so tired I can't keep my eyes open. I know I will sleep well tonight and I hope YOU ALL DO TOO.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
Hope you get that tree lit up Paula!
Wanda has the right idea for us that can't bend & stretch like we used to.
Good night all
Peace to You & Yours
Prayers offered up for all needs
Early Birds - the sun should be shinning this am! Suzanne we are hoping you make it safely in today!
It should be bed-time here, too, but my Vikings just took the lead, so I can't go to bed yet!! Hope you all have nice melting weather tomorrow and see the Eagles in the nest.
GOOD NIGHT, ALL/GOOD MORNING TO THE EARLY BIRDER CREW, HOPEFULLY FEATURING SUZANNE...
GOT TO FINISH MY CHRISTMAS CARDS TONIGHT, SO "SIGNING OFF NOW...."
JIM
Good morning, world. Back to work for me! No snow, no ice, no more downed limbs or trees. Missed you guys, and have a lot to read to catch up. Cold out, but no wind for once3, 18° in PA, 28° here in VA.
Will have to go open some cams. All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly! I see Steven had his eyes to the sky and saw an adult bald eagle the other day! How cool that must have been!!!
Good morning, Suzanne. Great to see you back. [:=)}
Sounds like some of you folks back east really got hit hard by the storm.
I think we are due for rain again for the next 2-3 days. If it continues like this, we may get a lot more rain than last year. It's good for us out here.
I have been writing and addressing Christmas cards, am tired now and will probably hit the rack soon.
Jim
Morning, Jim, nice to be back. Hope I didn't miss you, have been doing other things and not checking the blog. Man, the harder I try to get caught up, the behinder I get! Doesn't pay to stay home! We got snow, then ice, then terrible winds, but today it's almost nice out. Warm up a few degrees and it would be.
You are doing something I haven't even started! Christmas Cards. I am so far behind this year it's ridiculous!
If you go back to bed, sleep well, Jim.
Good Morning suzanne it is good
to have you back,and good morning
to all.I'll be back later right
now i have to do some work.
Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave
GOOD MORNING SUZ, JIM AND DAVE.
Suz, it is soooo good to have you back! We really missed you.
We now know we won't have to worry about you traveling in nasty, dangerous weather conditions.
I'll bet you have tons of work to catch up on or do you have someone who fills in for you?
Butterfly Mama-Karla called me Saturday and said she awoke to the sound of falling trees at 3am and they continued to fall all morning. Being up on a mountain, she alway gets weather extremes. I hope she moves back down the mountian. It makes me nervous when I think of her driving in bad weather.
Time for me to turn the coffee pot on and the heat up. BB
Wow, sleeping at the wheel, I guess I was! Morning, Dave and Wanda! Yup, lots of ice, but gone now, lots of wind, but also finished! I hope! Have lots of branches down at my house (well, had), and saw lots coming down this morning. I hate to hear the trees falling, I used to work on a mountain, and you could hear them falling in the ice and wind. But roads are clear now, still snow on sides where it was plowed, but not in my area, up the mtn a little bit.
No, don't have anybody that works with my customer, so I have LOTS to catch up on! Gonna be a busy rest of the week.
Good morning all. Up early here. Cough and cold won't let me go back to sleep. Thought I would check in on the bLOG folks and hope to see Suzanne in here. Yep there she is busy as a bee but she is here safe and sound.
I am goign to work on a DVD today for my family about our special weekend and the eagles we went to see along with mylatest trip there. Such fun memories. Takes a while to burn them but time to start that project.
Enjoy your eagle viewing.
Lets all step out for a cup of coffee or tea...and you know what might happen.
CYA later.
GOOD TUESDAY MORNING SUZANNE, DAVE WANDA AND GLO. We finally got Suzanne back safe and sound!!!!! You were really missed by all the group SUZANNE.
I haven't time to stay on this morning as I have to get the classroom ready for the kids. Just wanted to check in to see if you were back SUZANNE.
Have a super day all.
Morning Glo and Candy! Glo, I'm sorry to hear you are still ill with your cold, or is it flu? Sure hope you get well by Christmas!
Candy, I always seem to miss you, you are too quick popping in and out! Just like the eagles sometimes, in and out very quickly! Haven't seen anyone yete this morning, maybe it's their turn to sleep in!!
GOOD MORNING GLO...
I tried that this morning, but it hasn't worked yet. Maybe it will work for you (steping out for coffee). Mits and I did that Sat. I think, and it worked. It works often for mits. I think she has some kind of inner-connection to our eagles.
Good Morning Candy...
Yep, she pops in and out like Belle & Lib do sometimes. LOL
Good morning everybody:) Nice to see you back, Suzanne. Cold here, only 17°. MT nests, I'll bet they show up as soon as I head to the bus stop.
Morning, Megan! I LOVE MY WREATHS! They are beautiful. You do such pretty work.
So far, nothing. Were they here yesterday?
Squirrels on PA cam, 3 of them!
Looks like an eagle in Tesoro... I think. Have to look between the branches, you can see a white head.
Bai and Squiggles are sleeping in the hallway, and I guess Mei and Tai are eating bamboo. Saw where poor Tian had to have eye surgery, but didn't read it all. Poor thing. I'm HOPING he's separate from Mei, she plays so rough! Squirrels are pigging out on something.
Yup, eagle in Tesoro, head just popped up! Look hard.
Mits is outdone with Mei. She said Tian is a likable, easy-going fellow and it's too bad he has to live with a Witch! She is so funny.
Thanks, Suzanne:) We had 2 visits yesterday, one in the early am, and 1 around lunchtime, they were kissin....
LOL, yeah, Mei is very rough, and spoiled! Always wants her way!! Sure hope Tian heals quickly, and there are no after effects or side effects from his surgery.
Just finished reading the article, so I'm guessing they are still separate. Probably will be until the vets get the results of all the lab tests back and his eye heals completely!
Awwwww, Megan, how cool was that! I'll have to go check and see if there are pics in Momsters. That's neat!
WE HAVE A NEW THREAD LADIES....COME ON OVER.
