Chrissy Beahan said...

Gobbo's off on one again,,I'll have what he's eaten please,, and they say pandas are supposed to be rather still and quiet !!!

Do you think someone should tell him that !!!
Up a tree like a bullit out of a gun, upside down and reaching for the fence now,, he thinks is he streaches far enough he will be able to go for a walk round the Zoo like his Dad did 3 years ago,, silly panda boy, you just have to love him,,don't you!!!

Do Pandas get a headache when they are upside down, or just a rush of blood to the head ????

Bless him,,he is having a little time out before he thinks of something else to play with..I can hear the cog-wheels turning over from here,,,he is up to something,,I wonder what next ????

Chrissy Beahan said...

I'll ask Gobbo {Tai Shan] to share pet,,he's a good boy and wont mind.

All I can see at the mo is a tiny little white head popping out from under mummy at the PA nest,, so cute, I WANT ONE !!!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning Everyone!
If the sun weren't shinning so brightly on it's own, I know that Chrissy would be able to make our Sunday a sunny one! Love reading her comments!

I've checked out most cams - everything seems good to go!

Mema Jo said...

Highlight of my emails this am was one from Genie (Jewell-FL) with some pics of Gertrude & Ralph's latest visit showing off their new baby sandhill crane! They have a new nesting area that Jewell hasn't yet found!

Shall I run a Marathon too ???

time for me now,,,my birds in the garden are going berserk,,uncontrollable babies everywhere,,oh be still my beating heart !!! I LOVE THE SPRING !!!!

My poor cats need another vallium each, can't cope with all this activity,, poor old things,,never mind they can have prawns for supper,, they get better fed than we humans do.

All looks well so far with the PA Peregrines and the Ospreys in Scotland.

My friend Bob who is the boss over at the Safari Park is going through a population boom too,,it must be catching,,Rhino babies,,giraffe babies,,several sealion babies,,African wild dog litters,,Lion cubs,,tiger cubs,, no Elephant calves as yet though,,Cheetah's to young to breed as yet,, didnt ask about the creepy crawly house ,,don't like them,,so babies there arn't my thing,,ughhh.
Thanks heavens I'm not preggers,, mind you it would be a miricle,,I had a hysterectomy,,HAAA ,,

Well thats it so far,,just looking forward to all the new life,, and hopeing Bob will let me cuddle some of the babies soon,,don't mind wearing a gown and mask,,stops the babies getting scared if my face is covered [joke]

Chrissy Beahan said...

Anne-Marie said...

Hi Chrissy, Paula your video is wonderful. Brandon and I laughed and laughed.

Anne-Marie said...

yes Chrissy he is with me so his mother doesnt kill him.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Ladies! - I never thought of the spider web dancing too, Lolly! Ha HA

Anne-Marie said...

OK, I can make scones but how do I make thick cream. ?

Anne-Marie said...

I can remember it as a small child in England but I was too little to remember how.

Anne-Marie said...

Oh Paula we were dancing too.

Anne-Marie said...

I have got to go for a few minutes. got to skim the fruit fuzz off the top and put it into jars. BBL

movin said...

Thanks, Paula. The video makes "me" want to stretch my wings.

Wonder if I could get much loft at my weight.

[:~)]

Jim

Chrissy Beahan said...

Hi Anne pet,,

Thick cream as we call it,, I think you call it Heavy Cream,, the kind you can whisk till it nice and thick,,but not like butter,,just thick enough to hold it's own and then put a teasoopful on top of the scones.
I always add a large teaspoon of vanilla extract [not essence] to it before I beat it,, and I don't add iceing sugar [powdered sugar] either,,its far to sweet for me,,I just like cream and the vanilla on its own.

does anyone want to know what a typical English high tea is ????

Mema Jo said...

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like feeding is over, I don't see the adult...unless one of the kids is eating on their own..

paula eagleholic said...

And nope, doesn't look like that either....back outside...check in later!!

Costume Lady said...

PAULA...loved your video (LMBO). Tried to send it to my daughter, but couldn't. Any suggestions?

paula eagleholic said...

Wanda - copy and paste the url into an email to your daughter

Costume Lady said...

Paula, you are so special...Thank You!

Costume Lady said...

Capt. Eagle LHBO too! We could have watched more!

paula eagleholic said...

Your Welcome! :)

paula eagleholic said...

Our babes are snoozing 1,2,3 in the nest...

paula eagleholic said...

Pretty evening sun on the nest

MITS said...

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE....had a great time at the Nationals game, they won, and then we went out to dinner, sisters are on they way home.....funtime today:)

Costume Lady said...

Helen, glad you had a nice time today...it was a beautiful day for an outing.

paula eagleholic said...

Hey, Mits, I forgot to ask you how you liked the new stadium.

Mema Jo said...

Happy to hear you had a fun filled day, Mits. It is still soooooo
beautiful out there weather wise!

Did get a hanging planter for deck - Jenny brought it for me - when I went down to the nursery at 6pm they had just closed. Now I need some things to put in about 4 planters. Need my saliva....

Mema Jo said...

Megan - holler at me if you have it available for me to pick up from you......

deb said...

Hi, all it is a beautiful day here, I think winter has given up. The forecast has no snow in it!

deb said...

dinner time at our nest, two chicks at the table, one just coming.

deb said...

I have worked my way down to 423 pictures from my 1790 total from my trip last week. Now I have to take a break for a day, it is so hard to decide which pictures are the ones to keep when it comes to the eagle pictures. I like them all, but I know there is no point taking up memory with pictures that I won't do anything with.

NatureNut said...

Good Good Evening Everyone!
I now have Live camera & see dinner going on in nest. Yum, yum!

NatureNut said...

Paula, just got a chance to go back & watch your video. It is fantastic!!!I'm sending it to my SIL to cheer him up. He's having foot surgery Monday.Tree part he was sawing fell on his foot!
When 2 chicks were eating awhile ago, the third in the back did some jumps and flaps....looked like he was doing jumping jacks! So funny.

MITS said...

well, I'll be darn, the LIVE FEED is up, probably kudos to John....the NEW STADIUM is fantastic, our seats are great, it is a fun atmosphere, and the weather could not have been better, we actually drove down and parked, we have a parking pass, right next to the stadium, took less then a half hour to get there

MITS said...

PAULA!!!!!I LOVED THE VIDEO You should enter it into some kind of video contest:):)

MITS said...

feed went down, but came back up

ceil said...

Great video Paula.

Costume Lady said...

Helen, I thought the same thing about the video. It should be a winner somewhere.

MITS said...

it had me dancing with the eaglets!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Glad you enjoyed the video!

And our live feed is up? Wonderful! Thank You Thank you Thank you!

Sounds like a great day, Mits.

Weather was wonderful today! Got all the deck furniture washed and ready for partying!

deb said...

Everyone in the nest is so still, I had to check to see if the web was moving.

Great video, Paula. I love it when the hop around while flapping their wings.

Mema Jo said...

I was running errand & guess what - all the deer are NOT in the PA woods - one went right in front of me! Good thing I was going slow & she was going fast.

Thanks for the Live Feed Up/Running

Lolly said...

Good evening! Have had a beautiful day here. Also, it was jazz Sunday at a local winery. We sat outside late afternoon into the evening, enjoying the music, company of old friends, and of course, some wine. Lovely Sunday!

Read where Anne Marie had made strawberry jam. I had thought she should get together with Chrissy, ahhh, scones and jam. Then I read where that was discussed. Yummy!

MITS said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE:)

Costume Lady said...

PARTY!! DID I HEAR PAULA'S HAVING A PARTY?!

MITS said...

YES, and we all all invited:):)

MITS said...

I'll bring the dip!!!

Costume Lady said...

Speaking of cleaning the deck off...we were cleaning ours yesterday and Gene lifted up the grill lid, and there in the middle of the grill was a 6ft Black Snake, curled up like a package of rope sausage. There was no gas in the grill or we could have cooked him. LOL

Mema Jo said...

Not much wind/breeze this evening as Spidey's web is very still.
Wanda - I only found a bird's nest in our grill one year - My toes are curling at your finding the snake!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Oh My, Wanda! Sounds worse than the mouse I tried to Bar-b-que!

When ya'll coming over? :)

deb said...

I had to go read about the black snake, because I thought they were poisonous. Only the ones in Australia are poisonous. We don't have black snakes around here, that I know of. It is a pretty snake, but I don't think I would want one in my grill.

Costume Lady said...

First warm morning, Paula, we can all come to breakfast on your deck.

paula eagleholic said...

My live feed is back down....

I love eating on the deck, Wanda...

Costume Lady said...

Look on my Wanda's Wishes blog if you would like to see what an Eastern Black Snake looks like, DEB.

Costume Lady said...

WAX!

Mema Jo said...

Good Night Everyone

Prayers being offered for all

Costume Lady said...

Paula, I used to like eating on the deck! LOL

deb said...

that is a big one, were you able to just catch it and let it go?

paula eagleholic said...

That was a big snake!

G'nite, all!

Costume Lady said...

No, Deb, we send the snakes to their final resting place along with spiders. Ewwweee!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS

deb said...

I like snakes, but am terrified of spiders. Nightmares from living in Oklahoma.

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY...

Have a great week to come.

Suzanne said...

Good Monday morning, world. Good grief, can ya say Monday and good in the same sentence???
I see spidey has been busy this weekend doing rennovations. Darn! Kids are sleeping in the center of the nest. BW kids are sleeping, and osprey on eggs is also asleep. Wish I was.
All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Suzanne said...

it's raining like mad in Finland, and we have avery wet osprey on Finney's nest. Sun's out in Scotland, and looks like the osprey is panting, mouth is open. That rain in Finland is coming down sideways, good grief. Jackdaw is in nest staying dry.

Suzanne said...

Just checking my mail, and a little birdie told me today is Bob Quinn's Birthday!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER BOB
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

Bob, hope you have a wonderful day today! Hope you can take off and take some awesome pictures, if that's what you want!!! Happy Birthday and many more!!

Suzanne said...

I can still see one egg under mom falcon in PA, so guess at least one hasn't hatched yet. Don't know if #4 has hatched or not. They haven't updated the site from the 3 that hatched Friday.

Suzanne said...

Stopped raining in Finland. Wonder if we have an egg? Adult has been laying in the same place all morning.

Suzanne said...

Deer in PA, and one of them is the deer with the bad legs. I'm sure glad to see her, haven't seen her for a while, so nice to see she's ok!!

Suzanne said...

Well, the BW kids have finally walked totally out of cam view. The nest is MT. Haven't seen that for quite a while. (They're off to the bottom right, but cannot view them on cam.)

Suzanne said...

Here comes one...
Our kids were awake a little while ago, but they're all sleeping again.
Here comes the other now, BW nest no longer MT.
Switch a short while ago in Scotland.

floralgirl said...

Morning, Suzanne:)39° here-chilly. Heard the hummers buzzing around outside already this morning. Can't see our nest,live feed is down again, and I am blocked from the 30 sec cam again. ANd no, good and Monday should not be used in the same sentence.

Suzanne said...

Awww, little falcon babies are waking up. Must be time for breakfast! Haven't seen either our kids or BW kids eat breakfast yet.

Suzanne said...

Well, I only see 3 babies, so guess our PA falcon has 2 unhatched eggs still. Kinda hard to see, she's not getting off them yet. See better when dad brings breakfast. One sorta came out from under her and fell over, and she nudged him back with her beak. So cute!

Suzanne said...

She's really looking around, waiting impatiently for food for the kids!

floralgirl said...

OH yeah- HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB!!!

Suzanne said...

LOL, good morning, Megan! I think you're right, good and Monday do not belong in the same sentence! Sorry to hear the live feed is down yet again. And blocked on the 30 sec cam again. Not a good day so far! You're not missing anything, the kids woke up about an hour ago I think, sorta moved around the nest, and then went back to sleep. They're still sleeping. BW kids have been all over the nest, but only 1 on cam now, and he's just sitting there. Hopefully Steve will reset the live cam when he comes in!

ceil said...

Good morning Suzanne and Megan. I think 4 chicks hatched at PA with one egg still left. If I am wrong someone correct me. So many wonderful nest I cannot keep them all straight.

Happy Birthday to Bob Quinn.

floralgirl said...

Morning, Ceil:)

floralgirl said...

Hey ladies-NEW THREAD

Suzanne said...

Morning, Ceil. Thanks for the PA info. When did the 4th one hatch, do you know? I definately saw one egg this morning, near her butt, but haven't been able to count the chicks yet. I'm waiting for a good luck with dad brings food for breakfast. And having said that, I can see only 1 egg now. So they're very close together!

Suzanne said...

Our kids are waking up again, but no food has been delivered.
