yea SUN...THANKS STEVEN....
Thanks, Steven. And thanks for the heads up, Helen.
Beautiful shot of flamingos at the zoo this a.m.
chicks just stopped preening and were watching something, wonder if food is nearby?
orangutans at zoo are playing peek-a-boo at the zoo
guess we don't have a cam operator at the panda cam this a.m.
My goodness, it sure is noisy at the Nat. Zoo! I tuned in on the site and thought we suddenly got sound at our nest. :(
Helen, when will we know if a baby panda is on the way?
she was inseminated on the 19th of March....gestation is 3 to 6 months, usually the embryo floats til it attaches....but once it does, than it is only 40 to 50 days til birth....they do weekly hormone tests and sonograms if Mei wants too....but she is showing signs of nesting and is refuses to eat her beloved carrots, BUT, the same signs happen if it is a false pregnancy.....Bottom line is we wait and see.
Tiny finally gave up his spot at the 1o'clock spot.
Morning Suzanne, Mits and Wanda, Good to have you back Suzanne. Missed you yesterday. Mits hope we hear about the Woolong pandas today. Wanda those little pandas just seem to show up.
If Pearl spreads her wings, she will knock Tiny right off the edge.
Middy's talons saved her from falling. She was hanging by a toenail!
was watching GMA this a.m. and they were talking to someone who had visited the Chengdu province and saw pandas...so don't think we wwill know for awhile....
WHOA THERE...Mom said no fighting!
Awesome wings.
Ceil, I think I do recall that it is not until near time for birth that we know for sure that pandas are pregnant. It is so exciting. How long is the gestation period?
I was wondering how the pandas made out after the earthquake. Nobody is saying on the news. Sorry, but that's the first thing I thought of when I found out where it was! Poor guys, hope they're all alright!!!
Morning, Ceil. Good to be back.
Osprey just left Finland, can see 2 eggs! Well she's back already, that was quick.
Well I will be back Have dentist appointment. Cleaning. Still do not like to go. BBL
LOL, good luck, Ceil. I don't either, but then you're good to go for 6 months!
Good morning everyone!
morning, Sharon
If this worked, this pic is of MY INDIGO BUNTING on my roof!
Morning Mits!!
The area is also the refuge for much of China's panda population. The fate of the 130 pandas housed at the Wolong Giant Panda Protection and Research Center was unknown, Xinhua reported.
President Bush said the United States is prepared to help China "in any way possible" in the quake's aftermath.
A top U.S. aid official said Beijing had not yet requested assistance
an excerpt from CNN report
but main concern is for the people of this tragedy
I have never seen an indigo bunting....
I haven't heard from Patty's husband, Chuck, about Patty's niece that lives in China. Will ask at the memorial service today though.
hope she is OK...I just can't comprehend the enormity of this quake
Kestral parent just left, can see the brand new babies and one egg. Babies must be laying on other eggs.
Morning, Sharon. Beautiful Indigo Bunting! Never did see mine again. if he's around, he's not out and about much. Mocking bird has made himself at home, see him everyday. And saw a new one Friday, a Rose breasted Grosbeak, another beautiful bird. Specially in flight!!!
We have 3 NEW JACKDAWS. Can see 3 now, so maybe 2 to go. Cool.
Salt lick cam in PA.
Suz, the male grosbeak has the red and the female has bright yellow under her wings that you can only see when she flies. She is such a beautiful bird and even eating, she moves with such grace.
Uh oh, lost my PA live cam. Did anybody else?
Thanks, Sharon. I had the male, he was beautiful! He was flying to my chipped sunflower feeders when I came home Friday. Had to stay in the car and watch him for a while.
still have falcon cam, Suz
Grosbeaks love suet feeders too!
Good Morning all eagle watchers
Today is going to be a great day,
The sun is out and it is going to
get up to 70 today.I checked on
my eagles yesterday and all is well
they made it through the high wind
and rain that we had over the
weekend and there are still three
eaglets.I watched them pick and
eat food that the adults had left
in the nest.They were both gone
hunting for more food to keep them
happy and full.They are growing
fast and have feathers and are all
about the same size.
Take care
Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave
P.S. photos are posted
Lisa has a complete update on the BWO nest today....:(
Thanks, Helen. Can't get mine to come up, and the still pic is frozen too. Darn.
Sharon, didn't know they liked suet too. I had to fill my suet feeders for the mockingbird, which he loved. But the $*&)(* starlings also love suet, darn birds! Used to only have 2 or 3, which is a very low count for me...till I filled the suet feeders. Now the darn things are all over the place! But so is the mockingbird, so take the good with the bad, I guess. I have a suet feeder down by where I feed the finches, but have lint for the birds in it now. But since that's where I saw my rose breasted grossbeak, maybe I'll put suet in it this afternoon.
Morning, Dave. Sounds like youre babies made it through that horrible storm this weekend.
Food has arrived, our nest.
GOOD MORNING TO ALL IN EAGLE LAND.
C(°?°)3
Jim
Beautiful sunny day!
Morning, all!
Eagle just left
Hmmm, wonder what happened to our sound...
when cam came back on yesterday. Paula....no sound came with it
GOOD MORNING OUT THERE IN EAGLELAND
Great day it is going to be! Sun is shinning and Live Feed Up/Running & Jim you are up & about at a great time in the morning.
Did as I promised Suzanne yesterday and came right to the blog to say Hello.
Anxious to see Dave's pics & read Lisa's comments. BRB
Concern for human life and panda life in China.. SD Zoo says... NEWS UPDATE (May 12, 3:30 p.m.): The initial information we received from Wolong cannot be confirmed. We are still awaiting news regarding how the panda center is doing.
Helen - I know you will keep us posted as you receive info from DC Zoo
Morning, Jim and Paula and Jo! Nice to see the sun for a change, isn't it?????
We have 3 new baby Jackdaws, nekked little things.
They announced the number of death toll in China--China quake death toll nears 18,000
as soon as I get any info Jo, will pass it along....most likely it will end up on the panda site as it did yesterday
EDMOND OKLAHOMA BIRD FEEDER
CARDINALS AND DEER WERE THERE THIS A.M.
Good morning, everyone. It is cloudy and supposed to rain this morning, but the radar looks like it will miss here.
That cam is cool.. Thanks.
love when the cardinals come up close
Good morning everyone!!! Very cloudy, dark this morning, 75. Rain expected today and tomorrow. Tomorrow possible severe weather. Lovely!
Love that cam, Mits! Thanks!
They probably put feed out for the deer as well.
We have at least one stork chick!
Hi Deb and Lolly. Didn't mean to ignore you, but wanted to post about the baby stork. Thought I saw one this morning, but wasn't sure. Babies babies everywhere! How cool is that.
Hi Suzanne! We missed you yesterday. Figured it was because of the rain and weather.
I bet they do, Lolly, deer and squirrel there now
What is the URL for the stork?
More than two dozen British and American tourists who were thought to be panda-watching in the area also remained missing.
just read this in the WASHINGTON TIMES
I see two chicks for sure, Suzanne, not sure if there are more.
Stork nest
Lolly, for the stork in Germany:
http://www.storchennest.de/en/index_427.html
Deb, are you talking about the stork babies? Or the jackdaw babies? Which has 2. The jackdaw has 4 babies now, and the stork has at least one, but I'm thinking two too.
Thank you!!:)
I was talking about the stork, Suzanne.
Look at the Xcel Energy osporey cam. Are there babies there getting fed???? First time I've seen the osprey off the eggs/babies in days!
Well, darn. Never mind, osprey right back on whatever.
Both adults and both eaglets are in view in OK. Rain coming, they are staying close.
Whoops! Rain just started here. Oh, man!! That means I stay inside and clean my closet. BUMMER!!
Hi, eagle lovers. I have been so busy lately - no time to blog. I do check the video several times everyday. I miss reading the blog. It's too bad when work interferes with recreation! But, work is my way to pay for the gas that gets me to work to pay for the gas.... Election Day in WV - I voted last Thursday. Early voting is a good thing! Would you believe it - it was 34 degrees and snowing when I got to work yesterday. I continue to see ospreys along the river a couple of times a week. Have only seen 1 adult bald eagle - about 3 weeks ago and a possible juvenile last week. Must get back to work now. Just wanted you to know I'm still around and hope all is well with all of you. I'll definitely be on here more when fledging time gets here.
HI CAROL....BYE CAROL...I GOT TO RUN....BBL:)
Lunch has arrived for our PA falcon kids!
Hi Carol. Bye Carol. Helen, have a good one and talk to you later. Or tomorrow.
That was quick. Guess feeding 4 chicks the food doesn't last very long! Nap time now.
Suzanne, just saw two baby storks. So, cute!!
Update from the stork nest:
First Chick hatched
In the early morning hours of May 13th, many stork fans followed the hatching of the first chick. At first, only peeping noises could be heard. Later, a stork removed the shells, and a short time later the little head of the teeny one of about three ounces (80 grams) could be seen. Great joy rules among the stork friends the world over, and everyone hopes for healthy and strong offsprings of Cico and Luna.

Lolly, I'm not sure if I'm seeing one or two, but just read the update, and they're saying one.
Oh, 2nd course is being served in PA. Sorta...
I DEFINITLY saw two, two heads up and bobbing. This is a for sure, nothing iffy about it. One was up, Mom was doing some nestorations or something, I was watching carefully, then up pops the second head.
Well that was a tease. Mom came to visit the kids and they thought she was bringing food. Guess she just came to check on them, so they're gonna take a nap. Little cuties!
I have seen two chicks for sure also at the stork nest.
THANKS, DEB. I feel better now. The GE stork guy needs to update his update. We have 2 babies. Sure glad of that, I was thinking my eyes were really going bad!
Time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle/panda day. Enjoy the sun while we have it. Heard last night this is the only day this week we (PA) won't have rain. UGH! They are saying it may not rain Sunday. Sure hope they're right on that, at least.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Short shower here. Heading to church to work in the flower bed there before more rain falls. BBL
WOW!
What is Pearl doing standing there in the Launch Pad position?
I just happened to look and see her
there as I have been on the phone & in my emails.
I wonder if it is just pure bird instinct or if she really knows that that is where her "free bird" life begins! lol
Anyone else's live feed down??
Yes - mine stopped..... :(
Watching the Loon cam... I just think she has the most beautiful feathered
pattern. 2 eggs hatch & then we'll see those little ones riding around on her back! That's the part I like!
I guess Norma is at the polls since Carol advised us it was WV election day! I knew her study group was on Wed.........
Going to go do something physical now
I've been sitting here most of the morning..... Still have some planters that need my attention & I sure don't have any green thumbs to brag about!

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
I sent Steve an email about the live feeed
Thanks, Mike!
