Morning, Norma! So nice to see the 3 little babies, isn't it?

floralgirl said...

Good morning, Beautiful Norma, you are like a ray of sunshine when you enter the blog:)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I totally agree with Megan, Normabyrd, you are a ray of sunshine for us!

Mauley said...

Good Morning All, I must be the pessimist on here today. Eaglets, food, beautiful day, live cam, and here I am so worried about the little one. Did anyone see it get a single bite on the last feeding. If it did, I missed it. The Big Gal is still pecking on the little one. He is going to have to get spunky . . . . . . . mauley donna

ROCKING CIRCLE R said...

GOOD MORNING--NORMA

Mauley said...

Rocking, Megan, lil Sis, Suzanne, Norma, please forgive my bad manners. God bless you all this morning and please say a prayer for the little one. donna

ROCKING CIRCLE R said...

MORNING MAULEY--I HAVEN'T SEEN THE LITTLEST ONE GET ANY FOOD EITHER---BUT MY COMPUTER IS ACTING UP A BIT

normabyrd said...

POOR BELLE!!!---Those little bundles of JOY seem to eat about every 5 min.----The oldest needs some 'time outs'----Always pecking on #2-----Guess that means we have healthy EAGLETS!!---

floralgirl said...

Hello Mauley- I know, I watched the first feeding this am nervously, the littlest guy didn't even get up. But it got up for the next one, and we'll just have to watch and see what happens, these little birds are tough, he's only 1 day old, give him a little time to get some size, he'll be pecking them back, and the parents are trying to get all 3 food.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Mauley! I've been watching too, such as it is, and I've also been worried about the little'un! But we have excellent parents, and they may decide to feed the big gal till she gets full, then feed the others. That's what they had to do before, so maybe they'll start that soon.

ROCKING CIRCLE R said...

REARRANGING THE NEST AGAIN---HOUSEKEEPING TIME!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' MAULEY!!---Last time the feeding parent stepped in & made sure #3 gets fed!!!---That's why we all have good memories of "SPUNKY"----He was #3 too!!!---So he had to fight harder----& won all our hearts!!---He had SPUNK!!

Suzanne said...

Male just flew into NBG with a bunch of fluff, now he's putting some around mom and moving sticks. Guess he wants her to be comfortable!

normabyrd said...

MEGAN---Are you planting inside or outside today?----Just heard--Eastern Panhandle--"-may" get rain!!----The rest of WV will get rain!!

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---That's GREAT!!---Isn't he the DAD that was ignoring his family?

ROCKING CIRCLE R said...

NORMABYRD--DIDN'T GET TO WISH YOU HAPPY ST PATTY'S DAY YESTERDAY---SO SORRY--HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD DAY!

ROCKING CIRCLE R said...

wvgal_dana said...

Mits he is trying to get her in position. He is having trouble with her.

wvgal_dana said...

I think he got her that time her tail was up and went down. Maybe baby going to happy normally.

wvgal_dana said...

Tang Mei won't corporate he says...come Mei stick butt up!!!

MITS said...

They will still do artificial insemination also

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Looks like Tian is cooling off in the pond! ROFLMAO!

MITS said...

this will be Tian's cub, as Gao-Gao from SD has arthritis and then did not want to anesthetize him to get his sperm

MITS said...

at least she is not running up the tree:)

wvgal_dana said...

Well the old boy is trying every which way there is. That's for sure. If it doesn't happen normally. It sure isn't his fault lol....I seen that Sharon...lmbo She has him trailing her everywhere.

wvgal_dana said...

Mits if she did I truly think we would see it happen in the trees lmbo

MITS said...

he is getting in some good shots:)

MITS said...

another reason why pandas are going extinct, they are pretty lame love-makers

MITS said...

I think Mei needs to put an X marks the spot on her backside

wvgal_dana said...

Darn Mits he is going to cause himself a "heart attack"...

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all!

I posted yesterday's videos on the EM Blog - Suz I posted one there that you can watch as well...

Eagletmomsters.blogspot.com

MITS said...

I think I need a cigarette!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Suz - I noticed those dark spots on the BWE chicks yesterday too. Haven't looked today. Maybe it is the new down coming in.

paula eagleholic said...

Sooo, ya'll are watching Panda HP??

MITS said...

yes, Paula, think I have picked up a few pointers.....lay low:)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

He seems to be working pretty good on her hip! :)

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Paula ... I don't know but I'm thinking this is more than HP...it just doesn't STOP lmbo

wvgal_dana said...

I've learn't one thing with panda's. It needs to be on the side then they would have "panda cubs like crazy .. dozens even gazallions lol

MITS said...

poor guy has been waiting a year for this

Lolly said...

Good morning all!! Thanks for the heads up about the pandas. Surely there will be a baby after all this. Wow! He doesn't let up!

MITS said...

unfortunately, no gurantees, Lolly, even with all this activity

deb said...

Good morning, everyone. Pretty quiet morning, except for panda HP.

normabyrd said...

THIS VIDEO IS--R--RATED!!!

wvgal_dana said...

I see what you mean Mits...there is a lot of hit and missing the right area...he went into the water to cool off again minutes ago.

Danelle said...

Good morning ya'll! Glad to see all is well with our eagles. I'm back to work today. Yippee!!!

MITS said...

she has been lifting her flap

normabyrd said...

HELEN---CIGARETTE is after it's over!!-----If we see MAI puffin' on a cig-------WE WILL KNOW!! ho!

Suzanne said...

OMG, Tian and Mei are mating!!!!!

MITS said...

glad I'm not there trying to interpret this.

Suzanne said...

Too funny, she's had enough, in the water she goes. Tian still following her, though.
Back from mymeeting and checked cams, and wow, was I surprised. Ok, gonna check more cams.

Danelle said...

Is this the panda cam at the Atlanta Zoo?

MITS said...

the National Zoo in DC

deb said...

He is relentless, isn't he??

Suzanne said...

LOL, I can see why panda's are only in heat a day or two a year! It takes the female that long to recover! Wouldn't it be cool to have another cub!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning! Pandas have captured your attention! WHoo Hoo! Maybe Mei will make it to the tree - Tian sure is trying & another little panda at DC Zoo would be terrific!

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Jo, Danelle, Deb and again Suzanne. Whew man look at him run to find her. He waits a whole year for "one day"...oh man. Maybe they need to put them in a smaller area. So all his shots will be in the "right direction".

MITS said...

this may just be a practice run, I don't know if she is truly in heat yet, or not

wvgal_dana said...

Mits is it that hard for a Slothbear to get pregnant?

wvgal_dana said...

Our eagle up and stretching wing....see chicks awwww now stretching other wing...

MITS said...

sloths mate in the hot season...May, June and July, their gestation last 6 to 7 months, longer if it id delayed implantation, don't think it is quite as difficult to get pregnant, but they have a high infant mortality rate.

wvgal_dana said...

When was the last Sloth bear born at DC zoo?

wvgal_dana said...

Feeing our chicks

MITS said...

all 3 chicks are being fed

wvgal_dana said...

Just seen littlest one get a bite hee hee

MITS said...

January 9th, 2006...Balawat

wvgal_dana said...

And another bite for the littlest one oh boy

MITS said...

snack time over at our nest

normabyrd said...

Wonder if BELLE will lose any weight with all the 'rocking side to side' she has to do about every few mins------

wvgal_dana said...

I don't think she will Norma...she has too eat well to keep up her energy and body heat for those babies.

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE!!---Have you seen PRECIOUS lately?---I always have trouble getting out of the ND SITE!!---Do you?

MITS said...

actually if you read the lastest updates, when her hormones start changing she is not eating as well, only her favorite veges

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

Good Morning everyone; We are getting a lot of rain,the weather
man said that we could get around
3 to 4 inches today.I checked on
the eagles yesterday and they are
doing fine,i got down to where they

places.I can't wait until i can

Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave

normabyrd said...

DANA!---Thanks---never thought of it that way----We thought every 4 hours was often---This is about every 4 minutes!!---- ho!

MITS said...

morning Dave...rain is good for the ground

Suzanne said...

Ok, morning, all. Think I'm caught up. Paula, I saw your video this morning, that is just too awesome!!! Thanks so much.
I saw the spots on the BWE kids yesterday also, but wasn't sure it was their little pin feathers yet. Since they're still there today, maybe that's what they are. They grow so fast!!
Man, I'm outta breath. Poor Mei, Tian just doesn't give up. Oh, back to the pool and cool off.

Mema Jo said...

Norma I think I see Precious climbing
The pictures are always so dark

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' INDIANA DAVE!!---We have 3 of the most BEAUTIFUL---HANDSOME--AWESOME EAGLETS you have ever seen!!!-----I tend to go on & on every now & then!!!----ho!----JUST CAN'T QUIT SMILING!!

Mema Jo said...

Panda cam has staff out in the yard cleaning up
I had seen LunLun inside earlier
But have not see ButaButa

Suzanne said...

Norma, I don't have problems getting into SD, just have problems when they don't put her on cam! They have the cam on her somewhere up in the tree, but it's too dark to see her. Bummer. But I'm still hanging out at NZ! This is a hoot!

MITS said...

I'm exhausted...:)

normabyrd said...

CO EAGLE in NEST!!---

The OWL has lots of feathers in her nest!!---Some OWL must be bringing food!!

FALCON CAMS are open too!

Suzanne said...

Oh, forgot, Norma dentist went fine yesterday. This was my 6 mos cleaning, no problems. Good to go until Sep, now!

Suzanne said...

Helen, I'm with you! I'm gonna have to go home and take a nap! Good grief, the energy that guy has. Amazing. Just wish the aim was better.

normabyrd said...

HOW LONG will this continue---POOR MAI!!----She deserves a little break!!!---This is a once in a life time chance to watch this happening----Now understand some of the frustrations the ZOOS have in having the PANDA to reproduce!!!

Suzanne said...

OH, do we have a success this time????

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---This has been going on for a long--long time!!---

Suzanne said...

BWE chicks have their little wings out, that's adorable!!

Mema Jo said...

Norma CO Great Horned Owl is known as Mama Valmont - She has a mate that visits quite often and usually brings food OR sometimes she just leaves the 2 little Hooties.....

Mema Jo said...

Out of here to run an errand----

BBL

Suzanne said...

Good grief, over an hour now, Norma!

Suzanne said...

WildWatch, cam 1!!! Can see the fluffy hooters! FINALLY.

normabyrd said...

SAFE JOURNEY HOME SUZANNE---LOVE PATS FOR GYPSY & HER HOUSE MATES!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' JO!!---I know that she has visitors----In one of the pixes I saw a smaller owl in the doorway!!
That's a good site---FALCONS TOO!!

normabyrd said...

ATLANTA CAM IS UP----Read their update!!---They had the same mating attempts yesterday with LUN LUN & MALE PANDA (forgot name)---BOTTOM LINE----DID NOT WORK EITHER!!---Went the artificial path!!!---
