Thanks, Mike-in-Mo for the heads up!
Info on the Pandas in China
BEIJING (AFP) - More than 80 giant pandas at China's most famous panda park, the Wolong centre, were safe and well following a huge earthquake that struck the area, state press said Tuesday.
A total of 86 giant pandas at the park did not sustain injuries following a 7.9-magnitude quake that hit the southwest province of Sichuan, where the park is located, Xinhua news agency said.
Previous media reports had put the number of pandas in the centre at 130, suggesting some of the endangered animals may still be unaccounted for, but Xinhua's report made no mention of the figure
Eaglets all laying down in the nest...leaves starting to provide some shade.
Poor BWO osprey - I think they now realize their eggs are gone.
Thx for new lunch thread, Steve!
Good Panda info, Paula.
Up to wee hours and got 2 sets of pics on blog---Baby Ospreys and Grosbeaks. Enjoy
CO triplets look good...looks like 2 turtle shells in the nest
Great pics, Nature. Any word on the osprey this morning?
Belle in our nest, feeding eaglets
Parent gone...2 chicks up at this end of the nest...boy they are getting braver every day...close to the edge
Oregon nest was also dealing with intruders this year...not sure if that contributed to the nest failure or not....interesting information on the Maine forum...very cold, snowy wet spring may have also been a factor
Live feed is back on! With sound!! YAY, thanks, NCTC.
Thanks for the heads up on Live Feed.
Sleeping so I don't have any chirping sounds yet...
I was reading ME last evening on OR cam. It must have been quite confusing trying to figure out what was really going on - sad and like someone else said - you don't think of another eagle causing problems.
Lisa put up a good family shot of their eagle family from today's lunch. Osprey situation is sad - but then I am just a human - what do I know! Lisa thinks they will hang around & defend their nest.
WOW! Look at the size of the Great Blue Heronetts from Wild Watch Cam...

UPDATE FROM THE NATIONAL ZOO
May 13, Afternoon
We just found out via satellite phone that all 86 giant pandas at Wolong are safe. We are relieved at this news but have not heard about Wolong's staff or their families. Our thoughts are with them and the earthquake's many victims. We will post an update when we find out more.
Thanks so much Helen for the info.
All our 3 guys are up on the sides of the nest. I'm not sure that I now have sound... what about yours?
I have sound
Sometimes I cannot get a pic on the loon cam. Then if I click right in the middle of the screen - it comes on. Might just be a flook though.
I like to read his blog.......
yep, I have sound, and here it is the sound of my breathing stopping when they get to close to the edge
OH NO Yes I do have sound
Just heard a CHIRP!!!!!!!
There just aren't any sides on that nest! The wind this season has taken its toll...........
Hi,
My live feed and sound seem to be working great now. Did you see number 2 (I believe) just doing the serious wing excercises...just about got airborne.
They're all preening like crazy after the big rainstorm, and the fluff is disappearing by the beakful.
The BWO pair are still hanging around on the box. Both were there a couple of minutes ago, but I see only the female now. Since the odds are against it, I think I'll assume they won't lay a second clutch this year; and then if they do, I'll be surprised and pleased.
How's everything with you people??
Spent your tax rebate yet? I've spent about $450 + tax already, almost all on stuff that's made in America, and all of it is stuff I need ... so far.
I'm happy, and I'll be happier when the government actually deposits the $600 to my account [:~D].

Atlanta Panda News Update on China...
Monday, May 12
A 7.9 magnitude earthquake hit Sichuan province today. Many people have contacted us expressing their concern about the giant pandas and Zoo Atlanta staff in Chengdu. We have heard from all of our staff and they are well. All staff and giant pandas at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding and Chengdu Zoo are okay as well. We are concerned about staff and animals at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, Wolong. This Research Center is near the epicenter of the earthquake. It is a remote area and so far we have not received any information from the area. Fortunately, Dr. Ben Charlton, who was at the Wolong Research Center last week, is safely back in Chengdu. Please join us in keeping the people and animals of China in your thoughts.

BBL DINNER TIME
I had a very nice dinner off the grill.
FOOD DROP BY ADULT
They sure have been waiting for it.
Adult staying in the nest with the large FISH
Boy is Pearl ever looking like an ATTACK BIRD
May be some more coming...
I wish I could tell who is making all the chirping sounds.
Adult is feeding Tiny & Middy
I can't tell if Pearl is getting some for herself - Her tail end is towards me........
is that fish still flopping?
geez-loweez they are loud:)
didn't realize both parents were there
Now if I could get Will Platt from ME forum to monitor our chirping sounds, he could tell us who was making all the noise and maybe even tell us to whom the chirping was being made and just what was being chirped. lol
Looks as though adult is still feeding because our eaglets are still acting hungry.
Ahhh!! Live feed with sound! They have no manners when they feed. Talking with their mouths full!
Helen - did you remember to eat today Bet you had left overs from last night's delicious dinner.....
Hi Lolly and how does your
garden grow?
Tug of War with food! LOL
Slow feeding session this evening
They certainly do mind their manners
Hi Jo! My garden grows just fine, thank you! Never did rain much today, so after cleaning my closet out I went. Jack just drug me in!I could stay out until the sun is down.
Feeding time in the zoo! Sure is a noisy trio this evening!! Belle (assuming it is she!) is tearing that fish apart as fast as she can!
Hi there Hedgesviller! I don't think it is as fast as the eaglets would hope. I think Pearl is going to jump right in there and help!
Guess the bellies are full....quiet time returns...unless I've lost sound!
That was sort of tricky
I didn't see the 3rd eaglet & then all of a sudden she was there at the 10:00 position...... My eyes are failing me I think
I saw this video on my space and thought ya'll would like it too to watch..http://www.myspace.com/aplaceforvideo Beautiful day here in West Virginia and Hillary is winning as far as i know...
Hi, I just got home and I found an osprey today. I am downloading the pictures now. I was so surprised to see one, they don't nest around here that I know of. Maybe a late migrator, or one that decided to stay around.
I am heading out of here for an hour or so..... Going over to CVS
BBL
Hi Mema jo! You're right. Our guys are getting so active...it's SCARY!! Talk about "spreading the wings'!!!
CHENGDU, China - All the pandas at the world's most famous panda preserve were reported safe late Tuesday, more than a day after China's worst earthquake in three decades closed off the remote, mountainous are safe.
The Wolong National Nature Reserve and panda breeding center is the only place in the world where the rare animals can be seen in such large numbers. But Chinese officials and zoo officials overseas had worried about the fate of the center's 86 pandas since Monday's devastating earthquake rattled nearby areas in central Sichuan province.
Late Tuesday, officials at Wolong used a satellite phone to contact the State Forestry Administration and report that the pandas were safe, the official Xinhua News Agency said. It said all panda cubs had been taken to safety.
JO, I froze the wonderful leftovers from last night....just had some plain macaroni for dinner...hubby will come back from golf on Sunday and I leave for beach either Monday or Tuesday
Good Evening Mits, Lolly, Jo, Nilla, Deb, Jim, Hedgesviller, and Paula plus those from earlier ( :
It just said on channel 9 news. That 8 or 9 Americans were on a trip to see the pandas. They have not been heard from yet.
That video Nilla is so funny...I just keep playing it over and over again. If you all haven't seen it. IT IS A MUST!!! ( :
Thirty-one British tourists who were panda-watching in Wolong National Nature Reserve and initially reported missing were safe and in the provincial capital of Chengdu Tuesday night, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Kerry Zobor, the U.S.-based spokeswoman for the World Wildlife Fund, said they have not been able to contact the 12 WWF members visiting the reserve, or their tour operator.
"The communications are still disrupted and we're hoping to have an update by the end of the day," Zobor said Tuesday.
It seems like if people made it to Chengdu, they are ok....the roads to Wolong even on a good day are very treacherous....
oh dear, that poor panda needs Claritin
Bless You..
thank you:):)
if you Google Wolong or Chengdu, they have videos on their sites, cannot get the panda cam at Wolong due to the earthquake
Bless you

Thanks for the slide show link, Helen. I saw a couple of cardinals and a deer on the Okie Bird cam you posted earlier today.
Good Evening everybody. Just checking in & saw about stork cam. That is GREAT. Just saw Mom get up & there WERE 2 bobbles. Amazing how they will use those huge bills w/out doing any harm to those tiny babies!
Spidey has ruined the view, but guess they're sleeping anyway.
BTW, have not heard about our Park ospreys, but will call tomorrow.:>(
Nilla, enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.
Mits, have really enjoyed the Okie cam. Saw cardinals, deer, and woodpecker today!
Jo, just saw the ferry!
Ok, will check another time to see if a ferry is always going by at 9:45/10:45.
I did not realize it earlier, but the stork cam has sound!
Lolly ferries go back and forth all day, and sometimes you can see a cruise ship....such a neat cam
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS
Shoot! I can't find my Finland osprey/ferry boat link. Must have gotten wiped out of My Favorites.
I missed that ferry - and I think I'll miss the 11:30 one also. I am sitting here yawning - I think it was the sandman that just came by here!
Good Night all

Nature, did you see it? The ferry just went by.
Baby storks in view!
Well, that did not last long. She is back on them. So, cute! I do not know why I did not realize earlier that cam is noisy!
Can not tell what it is, but some kind of varmit is visible on the ground at the Okie cam.
Lolly, I think it is near the GERMAN Autobahn...
Mits! There is a raccoon (I think) at the Okie cam.
it sure does look like it
got to go....night
That is really an interesting cam and the color is great.

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY/GOOD MORNING TO SUZ AND THE EARLY BIRDERS.
C(°?°)3
Jim
Good morning, world. Nice out, not too cold, no rain, no fog, no snow, doesn't get any better than this. 48° in PA, 56° here in VA. Can't see our kids, just barely, spidey is in his condo building mood again, darn spider! BW kids are sleeping on opposite sides of the nest. Our poor BWO nest is totally MT. Nobody hanging out to sleep. Still see 4 jackdaw chicks and 1 egg. Hope the egg hatches, but the other 4 all hatched the same day, so we'll just have to wait and see. Nothing else open at the moment. All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Good Morning Suz i checked our cam and spidey needs a shot of bug spray!!! What amess the lens is thing is it might have babies also crawlin around who knows.. Think after all these 3 years it would have died..lol Well just finished playing bingo on pogo.. I sure hope some day i can sleep like anormal human at night.. Just cant rest.. Any ways heading to bed Oh there is news posted on Wahington Zoo web site about Earthquake in China and the Wolong Panda Center... Have agreat day
Well, hey. Checked on my little bluebirds, and they have updated the site since the wood ducks and the other bluebirds fledged. We have a new wood duck cam, 7 eggs laid so far, and an Eastern Phoebe cam, she is incubating 5 eggs. How cool is that! So many cams, so little time...
http://watch.birds.cornell.edu/nestcams/camera/index
That's for the main page, pick your cam from there.
Today is my son's birthday he turns 28... Maybe i should just stay up and bake his cake..lol Tai was asleep on front of the big windows when i checked a minute ago.. I got 2 cats in heat thats going to be fixed.. thing is i thought the one was amale all this time til now i called it Smokey cause its grey with a lil white under belly welll its Smokette now...lol... Poor Sugahhh is fixed and he just dont know whats going on with those 2 cats.. I am sure you been thru it also.. I better try to sleep before they start meowin again... Niters & Good Morning
Awww, we have an osprey sitting on the egg cup in BWO, poor thing. Deer in PA. BWE kids are awake, and can see our kids now, but not well. Little fluffballs in PA are snuggling together making a pyramid, too cute. Two tallest ones are beaking at each other. Deer are eating trees. Darn stork pic appears to be frozen.
Whoa! Skies just opened up in PA! Rain coming down hard, looks like.
Hi Nilla, hope you're still up! I saw the update on the pandas. So very glad to hear the pandas are alive and well. Now hope they can get food to them!
Nilla, you have my sympathies!!! Two cats in heat is unbearable! One cat is bad enough, but two is just too much. If they're meowing now, ya only got a week or so to go. Suggest you get ear plugs, you'll be crazy by that time. I know I sure would be!
Hope you can get some sleep. And happy birthday to your son.
4 deer in PA, rain lasted a minute and then stopped.
PA falcon breakfast time. Mom is defeathering as fast as she can. One of the chicks grabbed a bite anyway, and had feathers sticking out of his mouth. Or rather, HAS feathers sticking out of his mouth. Oh, mom is giving them bites with feathers included. Ok, didn't know that. This one little guy in the front is aggressive, just stretches that ol' neck to grab a bite! Wow, that was quick, bird all gone, dad's gonna have to go hunting again. Now the chicks with their fat little crops are gonna take a nap. One with the feathers is sneezing, trying to get the feathers out. Oh, help from sibling....sibling is grabbing at the feathers, wow, I'm impressed. Feathers all gone. Mother nature never ceases to amaze me! Now the one that grabbed the feathers from the original baby has them sticking out of his mouth. Don't seem to be bothering him, tho. Well, he's brushing them off with his wing. nap time.
GOOD MORNING SUZ...
I wonder where everyone is..sleeping in maybe.
My Live Feed is down and I'm wondering if others are down.
It is a pretty, sunny morning here in Martinsburg/Shepherdstown...43° going up to 77°.
CAROL...if you are on here today, Capt. Eagle is getting ready to go to Elkins to fish with his Hunting Buddies...he will wave as he goes by Seneca Rocks...wave back at him. ;)
Morning, Wanda. Breakfast for the NBG eaglet, little cutie!
Wanda, how's your mother doing?
Suz, so far so good. We think this last injection is doing what it is supposed to. Gene went in to do some fence work for her and she was digging up a rose bush to replant!
Lost BWE pic, just little red x when hit refresh. Maybe one of the kids knocked the cam offline.
Oh, good for her!!! I'm glad to hear the injection is finally working for her. She probably feel like she can lick the world, but she should probably take it a little bit easy for a while. Bless her heart, she's got energy! I'm glad she's feeling better.
NBG eaglet and both stork kids still eating.
Oh, little wing flaps in NBG, how cute is that!!! Chick is full, parent is standing watch and chick is exercising, that's adorable!
Our kids were all looking off to our left, expecting food, and lo and behold, both Lib and Belle brought food for the guys. That's a very full nest with the whole family!!
One adult left, other adult feeding kids. Got the BWE cam back, and adult there with food also.
Well after baking Wacky Cake for sons birthday I know im wacky too..lol Its so good chocolate with peanut butter icing.. yum yum.. I been surfin cams and Tai was still sleeping woke up once yawned and back down... I missed the falcon feeding Suz but they are adorable those big eyes,, Our 3 seems to be waiting on food..
