Sunday

Looks like rain today. The past week the eaglets have really started to fill in their feathers, and they have provided us with some precarious moments as they have perched at the edge of the nest. Remember they can't fly for some time yet...

Going to try again. If it does not work will go back to lurking.

ceil said...

It worked. Good morning everyone and a special good morning to my sister Helen

ceil said...

Thank you Steven.

Lolly said...

Good morning Ceil!

Blogger cop is working full time!! Tried several times!!Ahhhh!! So frustrating! Let's see if this works....!

Lolly said...

SO funny! Eaglets are trying so hard to get under Belle! they are getting their heads right up to her. Cover us up Momma!!

Lolly said...

She is tenting a little. Tiny is the closest and he is managing to get under her a little. Wonder if she is doing this cause he is the youngest with fewer feathers?

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning Ceil...
We have heard so much about you..feel like we know you. Glad you joined us. You probably know us all well from lurking. LOL
Any sister of Helen's is a sister of ours. WELCOME!

Costume Lady said...

Lolly, I think Tiny is a little more persistent than the others.

Costume Lady said...

Must get ready for church. TTYL

Lolly said...

Well, I typed a huge paragraph describing the scene in the nest and the blogger cop wiped it out!
Ahhhhhh!!!!!

Anyway, I think it is so cute the way they are huddling next to Belle and Tiny is out of sight under her.

Going to go ready the paper before getting ready for church.

BBL

Lolly said...

LOL Make that "read" the paper!

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNIN' AGAIN EAGLE BUDDIES!!---HELLO CEIL!!--COOL finally meeting you!!--MORNIN' LOLLY---What's the menu this a.m.???--I just finished my 'FLOWERY SPEEL' on the other blog!!---"SUNNY" was our #1 EAGLE MOM today---WANDA & SUNNY are planing to go kayaking today in their drive ways--- HELEN gave us the RAINY weather forecast----SOOO!!--temp. is 53° here in WV---on the GLORIOUS "wet" a.m.----ENJOY-----LIFE IS GOOD!!

normabyrd said...

CEIL----Have you decided the sex of the EAGLETS?----Everyone always has a different opinion on that subject!!!----I like to think #3 is female-----but she seems to change her appearance every day?

normabyrd said...

WHOA!!---The 'LITTLE PRINCE' is eating his bamboo with both hands while lying down!!----ADORABLE LITTLE IMP!!!

ceil said...

Thank you. I do feel that I know all of you wonderful eaglet moms. Have been lurking since Spunky and cried the day he fledge. Tears of joy. Norma I think #3 is a girl. TTUL getting ready for Church.

normabyrd said...

ARE YOU LURKING?-----SISTER CEIL?----SUN is coming out in WV---and that is a good thing!!

ceil said...

Sorry cannot forget the eaglet dads and the guys at NCTC.

normabyrd said...

CEIL----I think I LOVE you!!---I always knew "SPUNKY" was a "female" too---will always keep her memory in my heart!!----Later!!!

normabyrd said...

OREGON EAGLE & nest -- SNOW COVERED!!---

normabyrd said...

HEY!---Have you submitted a name or names for the BW EAGLETS!!---

(you will never guess my entries) ho!

normabyrd said...

WOW!--KENT nest is movin' UP!!

normabyrd said...

The new WOOD DUCK has--24 eggs--site isn't sure when the incubating started!!

MITS said...

OH WOW!!!!My sister got back on....hey sis!!!!! She has been following this nest since the days of Spunky, she worries too much about all the birds and animals...needs to take it easy, thanks everyone for your welcomes to her. Trust me she reads every word of the posts, I read but at a faster pace, and probably miss some things, she works part time for a lawyer, so she is used to it

NatureNut said...

Good Morning Everyone!
Looks like April Showers brought flowers to the front of the nest!
How lovely is that?

MITS said...

just saw the sea eagle, I totally agree with Lolly, that does not look like the same type of eagle we saw in FINLAND.....Suzanne and I had thought they were Golden Eagles, but she sent a photo I think to Lisa at BW, and she identified them as sea eagles, but, jmho....think they were Golden's at FINLAND, unless there are differnt types of sea eagles.

glo said...

I knew we needed to install an umbrella or canopy when they put that cam up there this year.

Our poor babies don't all fit now
:(

MITS said...

mating just happened in FINLAND

MITS said...

Off to B-Ball game....may get rained out, may not...MTBR:)

normabyrd said...

WOW! WOW!---Checked back in---Other people have joined!!----WONDERFUL!! ho!---- MORNIN' HELEN---NATURENUT & GLO!!---I think our little '3 MUSKETEERS' are going to receive some more rain!!---Starting to get cloudy again!!

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE~~Norma, Ceil, Mits, Wanda, Glo, Lolly, and everyone, who will come on to the blog today.

Jim

normabyrd said...

WHOA JIM!!---I think it's time for your MONOLOGUE!!!---What's happening?

normabyrd said...

I ONLY SEE 2?????????????

normabyrd said...

Guess that #3 is in front???

movin said...


MONOLOGUE??? Norma? Have you noted a pattern?

Jim

Mema Jo said...

lol Good Afternoon! Happy to see everyone was here this morning hour..
Really raining a lot & boy the thunder awakened me - everything is soooooo green! Glad you got back in Ceil! I wonder if there was a market for Megan & Paula and a ballgame for Helen?
OHHHHH! Those dark WET feathers on our little ones! Really proud of them taking care of themselves.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' JO!!----We haven't had thunder & lighting here---Lot of RAIN---last nite---not much the past few hours!!

Mema Jo said...

Adult has returned to the nest and is
tenting - now that is true parenthood.

movin said...

Check out the eagle at Kent, which landed with its feet beneath the frame of cam #2. And that would seem to mean they have a substantial part of the nest rebuilt.


[:~)]

Jim

normabyrd said...

YEAH COOL JIM!!!----I felt I was talking to myself for quite a while this morning!! ho!

normabyrd said...

JO!!---those are wv eagles---what did you expect---ho!

Mema Jo said...

Jim Had you read that Loraine at Kent confirmed that it really is Spirit with Star?

Norma - we had very very loud thunder this early morning.

Mema Jo said...

I hear ya Norma!

normabyrd said...

JIM---I noticed that this a.m.---Haven't seen a EAGLE though---

movin said...

I haven't read anything about "live" feed this morning, but mine is working now without sound.

[:~)]

Jim

movin said...

Eagle at Kent again.

[:~)]

Jim

Mema Jo said...

Checked on the wood duck - still incubating. Jen (The nest watcher/keeper) is away for the week & everyone hoping they don't start to hatch until her return JUST in case she is needed to free the last chick like she had to do on the other nest box...

Mema Jo said...

WOW right up at the cam at Kent
I got to see him this time...

Wish we had a view of the entire nest

Mema Jo said...

Jim Norma
Here is a link I just love these little owls...

Mama Cali & Hooties

Mema Jo said...

One forum has nicknamed them Winkin',
Blinkin' and Nod!

normabyrd said...

I learn something every time I look at the BW site---LISA -- explained how the OSPHREYS "MOLD THE NEST CUP"----2 OSPHREYS have been in nest most of the am---1 there now!

Mema Jo said...

Going to check out a few emails...

BRB

normabyrd said...

JO---I read the folks at the TX WOOD DUCK site--aren't sure when she began incubating the eggs!!!--Isn't she lovely??---

normabyrd said...

JIM---I haven't heard anyone complain about not having the sound either!---We are "HAPPY CAMPERS" with live feed!!---ho!!

Mema Jo said...

Kent eagle on Cam 1 Way up on tree limb.

I think Lolly said they were going to be going to the Botanical Gardens in VA soon. Forget just when..
Eagle nesting there.

normabyrd said...

JO---You are right---BELLE has gotten all "3" under her tent!!---She is our #1 EAGLE MOM!!!

Mema Jo said...

Lisa has so many links at the end of her article on the Osprey Web Long..

normabyrd said...

CO site---Seems every bird is getting some sunshine!!---EAGLETS too!!---OSPREY in nest!!

normabyrd said...

I think the older photo of the 3 EAGLETS-- waiting to be banded -- is TRULY PRICELESS!!!----Who wouldn't love those 'HAPPY FACES'??? ho!

normabyrd said...

Think it was a wee bit warm under MOM'S WINGS---ho!!---One can see parts of all the little 'IMPS' sticking out!!!!----

LIFE IS GOOD!!

Mema Jo said...

They may be hoping for some lunch
I didn't see them when they got fed this am

Mema Jo said...

It is time for me to get started for the day -- little late to be saying that but That's Life!
Talk with you later, Norma - stay dry

BBL

hedgie said...

No sound here, either.
Hope the nest has good drainage! It's raining buckets in Hedgesville!!

normabyrd said...

HEDGESVILLER---We haven't had sound all day!!!----does your name start with b?

Lolly said...

Home from church.

Mits, thank you, thank you for a agreeing with me about the Finland eagles. I thought I was all alone in that thought. They do look more like golden eagles than sea eagles, but who am I, certainly NOT a bird expert. lol

Yes, Jo, we fly to Virginia in the morning. Going to Willamsburg until Thursday, but tomorrow we are heading straight to Norfolk Botanical Gardens. May not see the nest, but may see an eagle, and we will be close!!!! And, I plan on enjoying the gardens IF it is not raining. But, will accept the rain, it is part of nature as well.

So Guys, I will be a wee bit closer to you this week!

normabyrd said...

BELLE is GOOD!!!!---She is feeding the "3 MUSKETEERS"---Has them all lined up in a row--REALLY!!---she is feeding them--#1--#2 & #3--!! &
NO FIGHTS!! ----Love those wet eaglets!!!

Mema Jo said...

Just tunning in for a minute...
Lunch is being served & Tiny is sure a 'grabber'. All 3 lined up & not sure how long the feeding has been going on!

Safe Journey Lolly! You should really enjoy your trip! I love Williamsburg! I bet you will see an eagle or even the nest.

Lolly this info for your trip at the gardens........

NatureNut said...

Missed the feeding, but now they're all lined up like 3 Musketeers! Tiny is still a little bit grey---will be hard to ID them soon.
Lolly, How exciting you will be coming a little North. Your trip sounds great--plz take pics & we can have film at 11!!

normabyrd said...

LOLLY---I AGREE with you in regard to the SEA EAGLES---I MARKED a favorite video last year---'SEA EAGLES PLAY CHICKEN'---from NGEO!!---not the same bird!!!

normabyrd said...

NATURENUT!!----That was COOL watching them be so polite---I got tickled & couldn't even type!!---This is the crew that was pecking away at each other before----ho!

normabyrd said...

JIM!---TWO EAGLES---KENT SITE 1---

NatureNut said...

Now they're all curled up together. I know it's survival of the fittest, but I think they're fairly mellow. Hope the GOOD behavior continues.

NatureNut said...

Guess it's raining again. Adult back to put up tent!

Mema Jo said...

LOL Let me under! Let me under!

Watching the Pope - Not raining
Watching the ballgame - Not raining

Middletown Valley - it's pouring!!!

normabyrd said...

PEREGRINE FALCON nesting on ledge at the 'RACHEL CARSON' BLDG. in PA!!----Such a noisy place!!

normabyrd said...

Did you see them JO?---all lined up & waiting their turn to be fed!!! Such manners!! ho!

normabyrd said...

NOT RAINING IN ROMNEY EITHER!!

normabyrd said...

need food--later!

normabyrd said...

POOR BELLE---needs a comb---BLESS HER HEART!!!

movin said...

What do you think the female at BWO is doing at the moment??

[:~)]

Jim

movin said...

I think my live feed went down.

[:~)]

Jim

normabyrd said...

JIM---I think I lost my live feed too!!!

normabyrd said...

LOLLY---I GOOGLED the SEA EAGLE---You both are right!!---Many kinds of SEA EAGLES----The one I have is a WHITE TAILED EAGLE!!---The EAGLE you all have been watching is also called a SEA EAGLE!!!----May help you folks some----

Lolly said...

Ate lunch outside, and then of course, if I go outside, I stay outside. There is always something to do!

However, I gotta pack!!!!

Jo, thank you!!! It printed out beautifully. It will be a huge help. Eagle nest here I come!

Norma, thanks! Glad to know there are many varieties of sea eagles.

paula eagleholic said...

Afternoon, all.

Glad the live feed was up for awhile, Megan said it was down before she left for the market! It's down again, tho.

Market was a washout...but got to stop by NCTC and see Belle covering the eaglets.

I watched the live feed and saw her feeding those polite eaglets! I love the way they were lined up too.

When she left after that, the rain had stopped, and she flew across the field to the trees behind the cam. She dried out her wings for a few minutes, then maybe 50 ft right in front of me, she swooped down and grabbed some grass with her talons, then looped around and landed back in the nest.

Then she flew up into the sycamore tree, where she sat with her wings out drying, before the rain started again. Then she flew into the nest to tent the chicks again.

TroubleInWVa said...

Are there still three eaglets? I thought I could only see two.

Costume Lady said...

No trouble, Trouble. We still have three chicks. Tiny is hard to see sometimes. Welcome to our Blog. Visit us often.

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is back

paula eagleholic said...

Belle feeding at the far end of the nest

deb said...

LIVE FEED IS UP!

Costume Lady said...

Yes it is Deb! Hooray!

Costume Lady said...

Bringing in dry bedding.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks Deb

paula eagleholic said...

Not too much out there that's dry...it was pouring when I was there, stopped about 10 minutes, then started again. But maybe it's drier than what's in the nest!

paula eagleholic said...

The tree is still really bare, not a leaf out on it yet.

deb said...

Hi, everyone. I got caught up on this part of the blog, but not yesterdays. The poor eagle in OR, sitting in the snow.

NatureNut said...

Yay! Live cam back! It disappeared while I was away watching Pope.
Announcer said rain delay in Baltimore stopping O's & Yankees game in 9th inning.And NY was ahead.Mits will be late getting home!
Paula, must have been great to see Belle fly by!

paula eagleholic said...

And she's back again

paula eagleholic said...

It was really cool, and surprised me...couldn't even get a video of it!

deb said...

I lost my live feed already.

deb said...

Not for long, though.

paula eagleholic said...

OH, and FYI, the Shepherdstown Market started the weekend before Easter...there weren't a lot of vendors there today because of the rain - and none of the other special vendors showed up except me

paula eagleholic said...

And gone and back again

Mema Jo said...

My live feed is up/running now.
Little one going around in circles trying to get under the adult.

Sorry Market didn't go due to rain.
It stops here & then the very next minute it is bucket downpour.

Getting ready for dinner....

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, market was happening, just very slow...

deb said...

OR eagle left the nest. I hope it is just a switch coming.

deb said...

Eagle back in OR. That was a beautiful fly in.

deb said...

the snow is going to bury the eagle in OR. I think the other eagle is in the tree above the nest.

deb said...

Our eagles are getting drenched again.

Lolly said...

Belle is sooo good! She can not cover her children, but she will stay right there with them.

Mema Jo said...

Just looking in on our gang!
Not very good conditions for living in a nest!

I can see Middy (I think) up by Belle's breast. Orange feet gives him away & he is walking around. I also see Pearl with her head under Belle. Tiny must be completely under Belle!
Belle is drenched!

Mema Jo said...

Hi Lolly! Doesn't your heart go out to her!

Lolly said...

Hi Jo! Was just wishing I could see Tiny. He is really hidden.

Mema Jo said...

We are still in this storm system.
Just starting to have more thunder & the rain stops but then starts up again.. All day tomorrow may be the same!

Lolly said...

And, yes, my heart does go out to her. Since she has been out of the nest at night recently, you know she is there for her babes in the rain. The are all so soaked!!
Earlier I was concerned for Tiny. He just had his head hanging.

paula eagleholic said...

That kind of dedication is just amazing to see, isn't it? They all look like drowned rats!

Sorry haven't been on much tonight, trying to catch up and I am just totally beat.

Have a good trip tomorrow, Lolly, hope you enjoy the gardens and Williamsburg.

Costume Lady said...

I just got my Live Feed back up. It has been off for a long time.
Our little family is soaked...it is 57°, so they won't freeze, but I am sure they are uncomfortable.

Lolly said...

Thanks Paula! We are packed and ready to go. Have taken the cat to "camp". Annie was not happy. Have to get up at four in the morning. Not good, but that will give us a good part of the day in Norfolk. However, looks like rain, so I have my umbrella packed!

Belle and kids need that umbrella right now. Poor things! Belle is trying so hard to take care of them.

movin said...

Yes, Wanda, my live feed is up again too. :~D

Fortunately, for all the birds in the frame, because of the feather's construction and the oil they preen them with, they are pretty much rain proof.

The littlest one has fluff yet, so he's been staying under the tent most of the time today.

Mema Jo said...

Oh no Mom! You moved!

movin said...

Spidey's webs are sure going crazy in the wind and the rain. I'd like to see them get blown away.

Jim

Mema Jo said...

Osprey at Finland nest at sunrise.

Costume Lady said...

Jim, I lost my feed again. Amazing how you can get it so far away, and I am just 3 miles away from the nest and cam. I guess that has nothing to do with it.
Just heard of Tornado warnings in parts of WV and Va. Need to go listen more carefully.

Mema Jo said...

Scottish osprey may also be tenting!

movin said...

I don't know that much about it either, Wanda. Distance might not have anything to do with it.

Only 3 miles! You could run your own wire to your home!

C(°?°)3

Jim

Mema Jo said...

I just stopped & restarted my live feed - up/running very well.

Costume Lady said...

Jim, LMBO!

Costume Lady said...

Jo, you must have a magic touch.

paula eagleholic said...

I had to stop mine earlier, but just brought it back up and it's working great. Mom still in the nest, bless her heart.

movin said...

Hi, Mema Jo.

How goes it? Did you catch the Pope's visit? I'm still watching some of the videos on EWTN. I think it was a very "hopeful," successful visit.

C(°?°)3

Jim

Lolly said...

Did any of you watch the video of Kelly Clarkson singing Ava Maria for the pope?

Costume Lady said...

I didn't, Lolly. Was she subdued or did she go over-board?

movin said...

The BWO pair are working busily lately and are getting their nest box pretty full now. I wonder how long before they start their egg laying.

C(°?°)3

Jim

movin said...

I don't think I've seen that yet, Lolly.

Was that at St. Patrick's or at Yankee Stadium?

C(°?°)3

Jim

Lolly said...

It was beautiful. She did an excellent job. She performed first for a youth rally. Not sure where it was. Then she sang for the Pope. The paper gave a good review so I went searching for it.

movin said...

I found a video of Kelly singing at St. Joseph's Seminary ... 2 sites. But the video is no longer available. Bet somebody's going to market that one.

C(°?°)3

Jim

Lolly said...

She is our small home town girl, so I really wanted to know how she did. She looked great, nothing funky, and she did a fantastic job.

Lolly said...

It is copywrited. You can find it there. I'll see if I can find it again.

Lolly said...

Well, I can not find it where I found it this morning, but when I googled "Kelly Clarkson sings Ava Maria" I did find some new sites that have it.

Bird Girl said...

Hey all!

What's the link for the wood duck nest? :)


I talked to my friend Erin on Wednesday, she is very positive and ready to do whatever is needed. She has also decided that, if she ends up having to go thru a treatment that could cause her hair to fall out, she will cut it all off first and donate it to the group that makes wigs for cancer patients (Erin has long, thick, straight blonde hair).

I remember what it was like when I started to lose my hair, and I also decided to cut it all off. Let me tell you, some people have a head shaped for baldness, and some people don't -- and I don't! HAHA

Ever since then, I let my hair be natural -- which means kind of wild, curly/wavy, and never colored it -- and I only get it cut once a year. I was going to schedule my annual cut for next week when Erin told me about her plan. So I told her, if she cuts off all her hair....I will too.

At least I would be cooler this summer!

HAHA

:)

Costume Lady said...

Delphia, my youngest daught had a bout with Alopecia after a traumatic time in her life. She too, cut off her hair and wore wigs for a year or two (I can't remember exactly). When her hair grew back out, it was VERY curly. She had poker straight hair all her life. Strange.

deb said...

Eagle at Kent 1.

deb said...

I just noticed the Kent Cam isn't refreshing, time is stuck at 19:58:24.

Lolly said...

Okay, time for bed up early (four!) in the morning. Keep an eye on the nest for me and I will be talking with you late Thurs. or Friday! I'm off to see a garden about an eagle! LOL

Take care til then!!!!

deb said...

Have a good time, Lolly. I hope you get to see the eagles!

movin said...

Well, Lolly, the video was on UTube, and it has been removed from all the sites I have checked.

Everywhere the Pope has been they have had a lot of beautiful singing...Placido Domingo even sang at the Mass in Washington.

[:~)]

Jim

movin said...

It looks like the rain has let up on Belle and the chicks. They are in the open, and she's snoozing, it looks like.

MITS said...

WELL, GOOD NIGHT OR GOOD A.M., WHICHEVER YOU WANT Hubby and I went out to dinner after B-ball game and when we came home, I started to read e-mails and my eyes got tired, so I layed down for a little while and here I am...wanted to get caught up before I start again tomorrow. TTYT!

Suzanne said...

Good morning, world. Monday rolls around again, and a rainy one at that. Rain from drizzle to deluge all the way down. 58° in PA, 59° in VA, not too bad. Looks like Belle in the nest with the kids, and they are ALL soaked! Poor guys. BW kids appear to be dry. Both Finland nests are MT, and one of the parents is on the eggs in Scotland. Nothing else open at the moment, and today and tomorrow will be extremely busy for me, so I may try to lurk, but probably won't post much, or be able to view the cams. Darn. All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Suzanne said...

OMG, do I see CEIL???? ON THE BLOG???? Actually blogging???? Wow, look at all the things that happen on weekends! Way to go, girl, and welcome aboard! So nice to actually have you here! I'm so glad you decided to join us. Oh my, wasn't even going to go back to see what I missed this weekend, now I guess I better. Oh my goodness, welcome, Ceil. That's great.
Our kids and Belle are still sleeping in the rain, BW kids are sleeping also, but looking wetter than they were. Both Finland nests are MT. Scotland osprey sitting on eggs. No other cams open. Oh, this must be Wonder Woman, has her back to us, but mouth is going. Egg turning time. Ok, eggs turned, wiggled back down, and yup, here comes the moss, so that's mom. or maybe not. Took a clump of moss and just moved it, but not close or any farther than it was. Don't now who this is.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SUZ...
It has been raining here all day yesterday and all night; very hard at times. It is 57° and suppose to rain off and on today also.
Jim tells me the babes are rain-proofed now and can take it. Belle looked so unhappy last night; she covered Tiny but not the others. It was almost like she knew they would be OK, but felt guilty for not putting her umbrella over them.

Costume Lady said...

Live Feed is not working for me this morning. :(

Suzanne said...

Morning, Wanda. Yes, she was sitting with them this morning. They were all soaked, bless their hearts. Kids are too big now to get under her. I hope they'll be alright. But they're almost a month old, so they should be ok. And it's not terribly cold out, so that's something. Poor BW kids are soaked also, and all alone. So what else is new there??
Back to it, just checked in to say good morning. Busy day today and tomorrow.

Suzanne said...

Wanda, your turkeys are in PA, and there is a tom among them! Strutting his stuff. Ok, back to work.

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---It's a damp morn.----SUN is peeking through the clouds!!---BELLE & LIBERTY -- PLUS 3---were all good 'troopers' & made it through the rain----bit damp----maybe!! It's going to be a GLORIOUS day here in WV--temp 54°-------LIFE IS GOOD!!----ENJOY!

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning Helen and Norma...
Helen, I have heard you comment on your sister so many times and knew that she lurked; so when she came on the blog, I thought she was going to tell us that something was wrong with you! Glad there wasn't. LOL

Morning, Norma and Helen. Norma, mr Tom is strutting his stuff for the ladies! Think he's got one picked out... maybe. She seems less than impressed...

Helen, all I can say is, I'm sure glad I was sitting down when I saw the first post on here! Saw it, had to read it twice to be sure I saw it correctly!!! Also very glad I did NOT have my coffee in my hand at the time. Woulda burnt my hand! But sure was glad to see she had finally decided to join us.

MITS said...

Sorry I meant Wanda.....not Suzanne, have not had COFFEE yet today, better go get some, huh????

MITS said...

would have been nice for a win, Norma, but haven't been to Camden Yards in years, and it still looks good...although I was shocked to see a new hotel and condo buildings, that block the entire skyline of Baltimore....BUMMER!!!!

MITS said...

BTW, NORMA AND SUZANNE, last Wednesday when you were watching pandas at zoo, it was Mei Xiang that was running around like a crazy woman, found that out from the cam operator when I arrived, we thought it was Tai....getting hard to tell who is who there now:)
