Suzanne said...

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---It's hard to tell the adult pandas apart!!---The panda leaning against the tree eating BAMBOO looks like TAI---doesn't he?
But I think the 'LITTLE PRINCE' is exploring this a.m.!!---

Suzanne said...

Costume Lady said...

SD cam is too close!

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---I have been on phone!!--No---MAINE won't open for me either!!

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Norma. I just closed it. Bummer!

Suzanne said...

Uh oh, Bai is doing the bamboo thing. Don't know where Squiggles is, haven't been watching.

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNIN'!! INDIANA NESTING EAGLES--DAVID----WELCOME!!--I missed you the other yesterday!!---Our EAGLES visited early this a.m.!!!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning all you Early Birds! Great picture of our early visitor on the blog. Thanks Steve! Welcome back Dave - you are going to enjoy this flock of early birds. I am usually with the 'almost noon' bunch.

Need to read comments, surf some cams and check out emails....

Going to be a Good Day - At least I'll try my best to make it a good day!

Mema Jo said...

I see the pair of eagles on the BWO platform. I LOVE seeing that little sprig of green pine in their nest-I'm sure Lady BW must have placed it there.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jo! Your 2 owls have been in the nest box since I logged on at 4ish. They left a little while ago, but they were there a very long time!

MITS said...

GOOD WEDNESDAY MORNING EVERYONE, HAPPY POINTSETTIA DAY:)

normabyrd said...

DAVIN is home today--baby sitter is ill!!----I think DAV must be a little lonely!!---She has called 3 times this a.m.!!---ho!----She does my XMAS shopping for her kids!!---I miss her too!!

paula eagleholic said...

Good morning!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING MITS & JO.

HAPPY POINSETTIA DAY to you!!!--Hope you are feeling better----

normabyrd said...

DANA---EAGLE at "SUNNY" CAPE CORAL!!

normabyrd said...

Still dark at HUMMERS' nest!!----------SUZANNE---Still haven't seen the TURKEYS!! W/ keep checking!!

Mema Jo said...

Moosewatch cam is current...
Suz, I saw the owls there late last evening - thanks for letting me know when they left. I always thought they would be out & about in the night time... When daylight breaks at the burrowing owls site - the ground was snow covered yesterday.

Robyn said...

Good morning

I sure miss reading the blogs and gazing over cams. I hope to catch this coming years nests.

I will try to keep up today, 2 weeks left of school and 3 weeks off, and a week away :) I should find time.

Hugs to all and Happy Holidays.

Mema Jo said...

NZ cam 2 Tai is trying to look through the fence at his parents, I think.......

Suzanne said...

Morning, Mits, Paula and Robyn. Happy Poinsettia day to you all too! Norma, you can see both pandas interacting on cam 2. One on this side of the wire, one on the other. How cool is that!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' PAULA!!----The ROYAL FAMILY was here earlier!!!----PRECIOUS SQUIGGLES---appears to be nursing!!---BAI certainly as tight hold on the little ANGEL!!!

Suzanne said...

Awww, guess dad is walking away. Poor Tai, all alone.

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning Robyn - Sounds like you'll be ready for nest viewing just at the right time!

I really think that Tai knew that was his mother

Suzanne said...

OH, look quick. Other parent came up and Tai is rubbing his head on the wire!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' ROBYN!!----I have missed you----Great to have you back---Probably hard to concentrate on your studies at Christmas time!!

MITS said...

TAI is acting like a baby cub.

Suzanne said...

Awww, look at Tai. Playing with his feet and rolling around trying to get mom's attention. She's standing there watching him, and Tian is on his back eating bamboo. Adorable.
Squiggles is alone and scooting around her den.

Suzanne said...

He sure was, Mits. And Squiggles has discovered her hind feet again, what fun! She waalks a while, flops over and rolls, and plays some more.

Suzanne said...

Well, our little Precious just very nicely walked outta the den! And guess they changed the cams in NZ, Mom and Dad are on cam 2, baby is watching them on cam 1.

MITS said...

that was actually Tian that was watching Tai, Mei Xiang still wants nothing to do with him and Tian thinks it is another panda to play with, very curious

normabyrd said...

When I see TAI at window looking at his parents----It brings tears to my eyes!!---I AGREE JO!!---Bet he knows MEI too!!----Have you ever seen such showing off!!---Standing on his head--chewing his feet!!--Reminds me of SPRIGGLES!!!

Mema Jo said...

Breakfast food is calling...
BBL

Suzanne said...

Oh, ok, thanks, Mits.

MITS said...

looks like a panda play session coming up, they are being polite this a.m.

normabyrd said...

YEAH SUZ!!---That threw me too!!

MITS said...

NORMA, wipe your tears, he is fine:)

normabyrd said...

HUMMERS' NEST---MT!

Suzanne said...

EAGLE, BWE!!!

MITS said...

wow...both are there

Suzanne said...

BOTH, BWE!!

normabyrd said...

HELEN---When TAI kept acting like SQUIGGLES----I thought that was a sign he thought the other panda was his parent!!----Just guessing!!-----TAI needs a playmate!! ho!

MITS said...

busy busy eagles.

Suzanne said...

4 moose laying down, 3 deer, 2 eating, one still in woods.

normabyrd said...

BW NEST!!----Certainly looks like 'ole times'----Aren't they a HANDSOME COUPLE!!!!

Suzanne said...

Mei and Tian getting treats, Tai right on the other side of the door.

MITS said...

Norma, pandas by nature are solitary animals, but curious. Mei and Tian are only together all the time because that is what the curator Lisa Stevens has allowed, because they were together when they were in China.....other zoos only let the male and females together when it is mating time.

normabyrd said...

Wish ATLANTA would open their cam earlier----Would like to see BUTA BUTA playing!!---Every a.m.--same!
'LITTLE BEAUTY' asleep on the upper logs & LUN LUN on the lower level!!---

Robyn said...

It is hard to study knowing I wont need to think for 3 weeks, lol.

Mits, Tori and I went to Fairfax yesterday and saw possibly the same hawk near germantown, it was flying near the light pole.

normabyrd said...

SLOTH BEAR is out at NZOO!!---moving fast!!

glo said...

Well good morning everyone. Its NOT 68 here and I started my day without power. However by 7:30 am it came back on and seems to be staying on so I won't complain too much :).

Totally missed our Royal Family visit though. Will pull up nest cams very soon now.

I hope you know but if I haven't told you lately , I love this group of folks so very much I know I am busy sharing eagles around the web in a couple of different places but it does not at all take away my love of NCTC Lib and Belle and all the folks who also love this pair of birds. In fact several NCTC fans do invest time and energy in other places eagle and other critter related.

I had an awesome weekend last Sat and Sunday....way too long to post info on BLOG... If you are interested you can find the info on the forthelove of eagles forum site I hope you will stop by and read. I also invite you all once more to think about joining the forum. I know so many of you already read and enjoy other forums I think there are things there you would all like. We are early in the season and lots is about to happen in many of the nest sites.

OK here is how to get to the About Me part for Glo.


Family Matters forum area About Me

normabyrd said...

The OTTERS are 'sunning' at the NZOO & the FISHING CAT is lying under his rock just watching---must not be hungry or there are no fish!!!!

normabyrd said...

The BW EAGLES---appear to know they are home!!---They are--what I would call--RELAXING in the NEW NEST---Beautiful!!!

MITS said...

just put Tai in the newer yard, will probalby be opening up the door for the pandas to go thru soon to the other yard

MITS said...

yep the BW eagles look quite at home, a beautiful pair.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at BWE

MITS said...

NORMA, don't forget to watch the golden tamarins at the zoo, they are running all over the place,

deb said...

Good morning, everyone. It is sunny and cold here in SD, 9 degrees, windchill of -1. First minus of the season. Glo, I loved your story and pictures. It was fun to get a glimpse of who you are.

MITS said...

Deb, it is 65° here in the Nations' Capitol:)

Suzanne said...

Getting light in Kent. Think someone (squirrel type, maybe), moved the cam, it's view is just so much higher than it used to be on cam 2. Hole is still there, and we can still see it, George!

Morning, Glo! Both eagles in BWE!!

deb said...

No fair, I don't mind the 20's, but when it is single digits it is too cold. Ten days and I will be in CA for Christmas, so I will get a little warmth for a week!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Deb. Sure glad I'm working here and not there! Don't do cold well!!!

MITS said...

wonder if they have squirrel season out in Washington?

normabyrd said...

When you check the PINK FLAMINGOS at the NZOO this a.m.----On the left is a picture of a bird & they ask you to identify this bird!!---GUESS WHAT BIRD??----Not gonna a tell you---but you have seen one this a.m.---COOL!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mits, it is always squirrel season for eagles!

MITS said...

yeah, well maybe it is Georges' time to go to squirrel heaven:)

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DEB!!---Our temp. is now 58° with some rain---predicting sleet & ice begining this eve. & tomorrow!!---in the EASTERN PANHANDLE!!---Must get some food!!! ho!

Suzanne said...

Wow, both BW eagles are still there! Nice long visit today!!

MITS said...

Don'r forget the milk and toilet paper, NORMA

deb said...

Maine and Tesoro cams are both up now.

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE----SAFE JOURNEY HOME & LOVE PATS TO "G" & FRIENDS!!----(going out for lunch)

normabyrd said...

Thanks HELEN!!---MANY MOONS AGO---It was cigs!!---now that was scary!!!--ho!

Suzanne said...

4 moose, zoomed in close!

Suzanne said...

Oh, thanks Deb for the heads up. Thanks Norma, I'll pet Gyps for ya. I have to get a pic on CD tonight, I'll post them tomorrow... Gypsy watched me out the kitchen window, and I didn't know it until I saw her eyes glowing in the pic! They're a trip!

glo said...

Oh Good Deb Thanks for taking the time to visit I know it was a little long...and I actually left so much unsaid. LOL Just went out to take some more pictures of the Ice. Sun has come up now and its like a crystal wonderland out there. So many still without power. I am glad to see it melting...should help to get it back on easier for many. News says they hope to restore most by 10 pm tonight. It is aobut 20 here now but the sun is doing a good job where it needs to.

Mema Jo said...

Lord BW in the nest

deb said...

Both back in BWE now. Glad you have power back, so many don't. SD crews were sent to Kansas to help out.

deb said...

Well, they were both there.

MITS said...

did you know that our blog is a GREEN WEB SITE??? Info right above the cluster map.

Suzanne said...

Eagle still in BWE nest. Mits, is that the Lord BW? His tail feathers are different from the Lady's, and I don't remember from last year who is who.
Close up of one moose bull, cool pic!

Suzanne said...

Oops. I said Mits, meant Jo. I don't remember whose tail was who from last year. If that's the Lord BW, I now know the difference, so thanks.

Suzanne said...

Ewwwiieee party at BWO nest!

MITS said...

PAULA, WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE SC CAM, LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN KNOCKED AROUND??????

MITS said...

SC cam looks like the moon surface:)

Suzanne said...

The eagles have arrived with fish in the BWO nest. No wonder the Ewwiiee party quit!

Suzanne said...

Time for me to hit the road. I hear we are supposed to get an ice storm tonight, both in PA and down here in VA. If that happens, I will not be in tomorrow! Not driving in ice in the middle of the night. Fog this morning was bad enough.
Ewwwiieee party quit in a hurry, 2 eagles arrived with fish.
All have a great eagle/panda day. Hopefully, blog at ya tomorrow.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

paula eagleholic said...

Pretty eagle pair at BWO

deb said...

Drive careful, there is nothing worse than ice on the roads!

paula eagleholic said...

Don't know anything about what's going on at SC...tree bark is all I can say...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Winter time is when I am really grateful to be working from home.

MITS said...

AMEN to that Sharon!

paula eagleholic said...

AT SC yesterday, they adjusted the cam....so maybe forgot to tighten a screw???

Or maybe they are working on it again.....

MITS said...

thanks, Paula.

deb said...

There is an owl in the burrowing owl cam and an eagle in Tesoro standing up.

deb said...

I am going to quit announcing eagles, as soon as I type, poof, gone.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Just looking at the Tesoro nest. I can't wait until our live feed is going!

deb said...

Poof, back.

MITS said...

lol, Deb, that is what usually happens

MITS said...

I knew I should have gone down the ocean, it is 71° there.

deb said...

Hey, it is up to 21 here!! :)

paula eagleholic said...

Yelling eagles at BWO

paula eagleholic said...

Aha - no wonder....they are protecting a nice fish :)

deb said...

I don't think the cam is working today, mine is stuck on 8:24 this morning.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like BWO eagle left some for him....

paula eagleholic said...

SC cam will be fixed a little later this afternoon....

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle gone at BW

paula eagleholic said...

OMG Deb - you are exactly right...I'll send Steve an email.....

paula eagleholic said...

Costume Lady said...

Hi, JO.

Mema Jo said...

Steve Could the rockin' FWS IT folks give us a POP UP Cam?

GOODNIGHT EVERYONE

paula eagleholic said...

Good night, Mits!

Costume Lady said...

My goodness, we were not very chatty this evening.
Gene and I spent the afternoon and evening with my Mom. We had dinner at The Outback (first time for us).
Cocktails cost almost as much as some of the entrees. Didn't like the food very well.

paula eagleholic said...

Really, Wanda. Outback food is usually pretty good. Sorry it wasn't as good as you expected.

Costume Lady said...

It could be what we ordered. We will try another time.

paula eagleholic said...

Signing off for tonight...good night, folks!

Costume Lady said...

Well, Mits has turned in and it was Jo's turn next but I can't wait on her. I'm taking my turn now.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT

Costume Lady said...

PAULA....It wasn't your turn!

Costume Lady said...

COME ON JO....YOU ARE THE LAST ONE.
OH, NO I FORGOT, JIM IS THE LAST ONE.
I really do need some sleep!

Mema Jo said...

Good Night All

movin said...

I see you've been remarking on my "lastness." Hahahaha.

If you haven't, you should read the Catalina Report (and look at the pics and videos).

If you follow the blog link on the Hummingbird site, you will find some great slide shows and perhaps a video of this last pair ... I don't think Joe has posted his videos yet.

Jim

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE & A VERY GOOD MORNING TO SUZANNE'S EARLY BIRDERS.

GOD BLESS YOU. HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

JIM

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE....
It is 35° and raining here in Martinsburg. It must be sleeting or snowing in Pa. Suzanne said she wouldn't be with us this morning if the weather was bad.

Costume Lady said...

COLD TEMPERATURES AT THE SURFACE AND WARMER TEMPERATURES ALOFT

ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING. ICE ACCUMULATION WILL BE LESS THAN
ONE QUARTER INCH. TEMPERATURES INCREASE INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S
LATE THIS AFTERNOON...PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE TO RAIN. CONDITIONS
