Thanks Dana and Norma...it is good to be back on here. Our electricity was out only a short period of time. Our neighbors still have wires down in the yard. I just can't imagine why the power company hasn't been down there yet.

Good Morning everyone!
Thanks for the pics, Steve. I think it is time for me to plan to visit the NCTC grounds to see who I can see
All of the Osprey banding day pics are fantastic. Suz has many that she is planning to post somewhere for all to view. Melanie & Bob & Loretta - thanks so much for sharing your day in pics with all of us!
MORNIN' MEGAN!---I know you are up & clipping some where---ho!---I certainly hope you missed those horrible rains Sat. evening!!---Thinking of you---BEAUTIFUL FLOWER GIRL!!!
LIVE FEED AND SOUND OF CHIMNEY SWIFTS IN N.Y.
Think Deb, had told us about this yesterday:)
Bob, those are wonderful pictures, thanks for posting them!
DEB---Checked your WOODPECKER pics!!---Aren't they colorful!!----I was certain I had seen a BOBOLINK!---but I didn't see one!!-----Now I know what I know what they look like!!---You are truly blessed to live in an area with so many birds!! We are blessed that you share them with us!!---ho!
Dana, glad you like the woodpecker, have been trying to get a picture of one for a couple of weeks. They have been all over lately. I have to put comments on them yet, but was too tired last night.
Thanks, Norma. I want to know what is on the tree. I will have to do some checking on it. I think it might be a nest of some sort.
wonderful pictures, Deb, that nest does look familiar, but don't know what it is
Deb, you do have some interesting birds in your area. Have heard of a Bobolink, but never saw one. Thought they were they same as a Bobwhite...WRONG! We are learning so much from our Momsters & Dadsters from different states. It is wonderful to share with each other.
WV gal, that kinda looks like it, kinda don't. They are beautiful, so far the bees are staying away, that is a good thing.
I can only get pandacam2 up now. Did have both earlier but not for a while. Mits, make em fix it, I might die!! ;)
Good pics of woodpecker, Deb.
Did anyone hear about the bear rescue? Think it was in Florida...a tranquilized bear decided to head into water and was going to drown, so a guy went in after it and saved it! Pretty brave! The bear was 6 1/2 ft. tall and weighed, I think they said, 375#!!!
SISSY keep clicking til you get the buffering, my contact guy, told me the other day there is some work being done, and uploading may be slow.....soooooo keep clicking, I am on both now...Mei is eating and Tai is sleeping
On another note... I got home last night and checked our hummingbird feeders. There was a squirrel hanging off one, tipping it to the side drinking the nectar.
Thanks for repeating the live Chimney Swifts link that Deb found yesterday.
When I first put it up I was wondering how was I going to know it was working as everything was sooooo
still - All of of sudden the wing of
the swift flew up and really really
startled me! lol
Parent and child in our nest!
Did you get a pic of that one Bob
That would be a Winner for sure! lol
Parent left.
parent must have left....see the juvie
Parent went POOF
Juvie still there
May have food - not sure
Sissy that was the best I could come up with. Maybe someone else can find it for us if that is not it.
Good Morning Jo ( :
One of our beautiful Juvies in our nest ( :
Deb what kind of woodpecker is it called?
eating something...
I check by for comments food....
where is the smoke coming from on pandacam2?
it's not smoke, Sissy, it is a mister, keeps them cool like in the mountains of China
Deb How close did you get to the tree that you are questioning what is on it? Is there a hole there in the center? A limb may have broken from the tree and that may be an actual fungus type growth...
That bird doesn't look like it has the black on the wings but it may just be the angle. You are probably right wvgal, that is probably it. Beautiful at any rate.
oh, okay, thanks mits. They had those at disney world for the people!!
DEB!---I have been over on emails!!---I wonder what it was too!!---Couldn't tell if it were a growth on the tree---or had it been attached by someone?
No picture of the squirrel Jo but you know it will be back again.
Well, I think that is Baby Littley in the nest now! :)
Mei Xiang is actually resting in the den she gave birth to Tai Shan...
JO---Did you send SUZANNE the pic BOB took of her with the OSPREY??-----She hasn't seen it yet!!!----I DIDN'T find it in the batch you sent me???
MT nest again! :(
well, know they are showing Tian..
Maybe it is a growth, I got right next to the tree, but it was about 15 feet up. I was in bird mode, so thought nest, never thought about a limb falling off. It isn't far, I plan to go back, so I will look again. Maybe the park ranger will know.
Dana, it is a red-headed woodpecker.
ok Mei is awake
Yeah, mits, she is wanting outside now. She looks so cute standing at that window dancing!!
OH BOB!!---I have had squirrel problems for years!!----Read in a bird column---to mix 'red pepper' in your feed----won't hurt the birds -- but the squirrels don't like it!! ------- I had one daughter crying that it would hurt the birds & a son-in-law helping me pour it in the feed!!---WORKED 1DAY----SQUIRRELS were back the next day---hot pepper & all!---CLEVER LITTLE DEVILS!!----ho!
she only dances til she get what she wants, and right know it is a snack
there goes Mei...outside
DEB!---Don't you think that the bark has been punctured etc. in
the middle of the growth---looks like a scar on the tree---could cause the growth around it----
MY #1 SUGGESTION!!---ask the park ranger!---ho!------I have seen fake forms of bark growth in dept. stores---used to decorate your trees!!!
Yes, Norma, now I am thinking you and Jo are right. I didn't think about that yesterday.
Message from Suzanne about her osprey:
That little guy was very calm, and all of a
sudden he turned his head around with beak open! Thought he was gonna
take my nose off. But then he later bit my finger, but it didn't hurt at
all. I was totally surprised. Kinda glad he didn't apply any pressure,
he woulda taken my finger off.
Two in nest!
is there a baby in the nest? The came is fuzzed up. Maybe 2??
I think the one fuzzy picture had all three, but it was so hard to tell. Definitely two.
MORNIN'--HEDGIE!!----I haven't seen you around!!----ho!---COOL name!!----I think these last few days it has been hard to keep up with everyone!!---I couldn't figure out who LORETTA was---I think JIM asked & I read the answer!!---I saw the FL BEAR story too!!!----WV has been having trouble with bears & upon #68--in MD---Those cars are always striking a bear!!---Well they are losing their woods, etc.---
think it was 2, now 1
One now.
SHARON---I didn't see a spot---but I think it might be LITTLEY---TINY or #3!!----
Norma I did send Suz a separate email with the pics Bob first put out of the 3 of them.
She has the links from Bob, Melanie and Celeste.
Suz will be sending out email through Momsters of her pics.
bunch of coaties or whatever they are at the hummer feeder
they left
Back to 2
Two in nest.
Getting a rain shower here in the
valley......
those babies look so precious looking over the side of the nest
YEAH JO!---We have the CHIMNEY SWIFT on 2 sites now!!!----now I know what you are talking about!!-----I was surprised to see the CHIMNEY SWIFT sitting laterally on the nest!!!
Now it is pouring down rain..
looks like it is getting ready for rain here too Jo.
Bluefield wildlife report: 1/2 million sparrows, half that many mourning doves, 1 nuthatch, several baby squirrels and NO DEER! Sure we wish had deer here to trapse through the yard like in Bedford!

These birds should be leaving the nest sometime around July 7th!
Came back and nice to see one still in our nest ( :
Good Morning Jo ( :
need to check email
FROM SCOTLAND NEST UPDATE:
Osprey Diary - 30 June 2008
Things are certainly moving in the right direction now! On Saturday morning for the first time the chick actually fed itself. This is great news as the chick is getting ever closer to fledging. The chick is also now exercising its wings, building up its muscles.
There is still the odd intruder but they have not been any trouble for our resident family. Certainly not bad enough to put the male off, although our female did see off one intruder that was prospecting the loch for a bit of fishing.
Saw one burrowing owl's head!!
Mits, which bear is in in the cubicle sleeping on that cube?
OOOOHHHH!---SO SAD!!!!!---The 2 STORKS are in the nest alone & the older one is really being NASTY with the other one!!----Pecking---winging--doing every thing he can to hurt the younger one!!---Do you suppose they are hungry!!----They are having a famine there I think!!!
think it is Tai, looks like his little side den, unless they moved Tian there, they are constantly changing Tai and Tian...most days, so they don't get bored, they are keeping Mei in the 2 middle inside dens, so she can have her pic and room if she gives birth.
Is that 1 or 2 in our nest?
SISSY!!---I don't know what's wrong with the PANDA cam!!---I think TAI is the one lying in the rock cave like thing!!---Keeps scratching his other leg!---That's a good clue??? ho!
Thanks for the heads up, Norma. I am NOT going over to the stork cam!!!!
One in the nest, Dana as far as I can tell.
Rain has stopped here
Going for a panda nap
JO---I looked back in & they were just there!!----haven't seen 3 in the nest today!!!
Do you have the the link for the Hummingbird feeders you are talking about?
Bob, I've never had a squirrel hanging on my feeder, but I have had House Finches and other medium size birds doing it.
Removing the perches from the feeder slowed the bigger birds way down ... and many of my Hummers perch in trees nearby, so it's a waste on my feeder.
Bees have never gotten to the nectar through the bee guards on my Perky Pet feeder. Ants have though, and the Hummers won't go near the stuff if ants are all over it.
I did find a cure for ants somewhere on-line, and it works:
Ants smell and perhaps taste with their feet, and they do not like to walk on a greasy or sticky surface; so you just put a ring of Crisco (I still have a can I don't use for much else) or Vaseline on the mounting wire or the hook ... between the ants and the nectar somewhere ... the little buggers will not cross it.
Probably work for other applications too, but I can't think where else you would put a ring of Crisco right now.

Jim
See 3 flamingo chicks walking around cute
I also really enjoyed your photos of the banding party on Saturday, Bob.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Cornell sure hosts alot of cams!!!
Sissy that bird is not the Green Jay.....I snapped a picture when several were at feeder. It show larger pic...definately not a green jay. But I can't find what it is anywhere....been checking places all morning.
JO---if you want a 'FEEL GOOD' site---watch the 'little flamingos'----they are ADORABLE!!--one is preening!!----they make one feel warm & fuzzy!!---ho!
the link is www.wildlifefocus.org/webcam/index.shtml
I know wvgal, that is bugging the heck out of me. Got to be somewhere we can find it.
Hey Jim, just an FYI - my maiden name is Crisco!! Best stuff around!
Every thing in OREGON looks beautiful today-----just looked at their COLORFUL flowers---baby bears & lots of fish!!----CEIL will so ENJOY OREGON!!!---(almost forgot---her SON is there too)--------ho!
just talked to CEIL a few minutes ago, they are about 2 hours away from her son's house...she talked to her doctor, no strep, but he is ordering a Z-PAC for her, can pick it up at a pharmacy near her son, she thinks she may have bronchitis or pneumonia because of her wheezing.....I'm gonna smack her next time I see her:)
what bird are you looking for SISSY?
Thanks, Sissy. All the way down in Ecuador, huh! Boy they don't have any guards against bees or anything else apparently.
I saw some larger sparrow like birds on there a couple of minutes ago.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Black storks are really getting big...wonder when they will fledge? I love that camera--crystal clear and w/ nice panorama of surroundings, too! A bit of sun glare right now...and it's already 8:30 there.
BLACK-CHINNED HUMMING BIRD?--could that be the one SISSY???
It is a beautiful green bird on the hummer feeder, black cap on it's head. We can't figure out what it is. Jim, the bees have been overtaking the feeder for the past few days but today is not as bag. They have been keeping the hummers away. Get an occasion coati (whatever that is, looks like a cross between an anteater and a raccoon).
no, norma it is not a hummer, some other kind of bird. Like he said, size of a sparrow or something.
Sound at black stork nest is great, too--can hear a bee/wasp buzzing!
Dana and Sissy, try this site:
Ecuador birds
The bird you might be trying to find is the 4th from the bottom, I think.
that is it, a green honeycreeper, thanks so much Deb. Dana and I have both been trying to find that.
Good, it is a very pretty bird. There are a lot of pretty birds on that page.
That's a BEAUTIFUL BIRD!!!---I'm glad you found it!!!---something like that can drive one NUTS!!!!
FOOD TIME---later!
Right normabyrd, i obsess till i figure it out. Can't stop looking, don't get nothing done, stuff like that!!
I see Tiny is still hanging out in the nest! Must be enjoying the shade.
New Thread is Up!
Come on down...
Hello Everyone--Busy day!!
Haven't read everything, but saw Deb & Bob's pics. BEAUTIFUL.Read Bob's squirrel story & I have pics of just those antics that occured last summer at Park, but Blogger wouldn't load them 3 times!!!!
Baby Robin Report;
One didn't make it thru the night, but Peppy got the 7AM worm breakfast.After checking rehabs online late last night & making several phones in AM, got in touch w/the best that's closest to us.She said since I was out of worms, it could tempo. eat soaked cat or dog crunchies.Had Purina Cat Chow!I had heard another youngster way back in yard & seen a robin parent.We speculated whether that adult would feed him. I decided not to let him loose, as I might not be able to feed him if he wandered too far away & didn't know size of other youngster.We both had appts. so I called her back at 1:30. In meantime, hubby wanted to keep him since he could eat cat food!Lady said (Thank God)there are Fed. Rules against keeping migratory birds & cat food is NOT a suitable diet.So Peppy in his bin and I headed down the road, about 30 miles.I am so relieved he is in good hands and will surely make it.She had him in a cage w/twig perch and a bowl of TINY somethings & he had been sitting in a larger bowl (these simulate nests.)Before I left, he jumped up on edge of bowl! She does this work at her home by donations, but want6s to start a clinic & wondered if I wanted to work there!
