GOOD MORNING HELEN..
I was looking in on the Red Pandas that hatched. They are a beautiful animal. What kind of disposition do they have?

MITS said...

I see where George Carlin has passed away at age 71, thought he was a hoot,.

Costume Lady said...

WISHING A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO
CAROL MICK, TODAY. A little eagle told me you are 39, just like the rest of us.

Costume Lady said...

Yes, he was a hoot, Helen. He has cleaned up his act considerably over the years. He used to be very foul.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

good morning everyone. Thanks steve for the new thread.

MITS said...

we have 2 new reds at the zoo on the Asian Trail, and they have been very shy, they are only around 1 year old, can't wait to tell the keeper's about the "hatching at Knoxville" didn't know that was how the little buggers came into the world. They are the most beautiful animals. Best time in my opinion to see them is in the dead of winter, when their red coats just pop in color. The reds names are Sharma and Wicket

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Hope we all have a productive, smooth Monday morning!!

wvgal_dana said...

Here's a nice surprise:

LIVE FEED IS UP !!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

now if we can just get some action in our nest. Good to see the live feed up!!

normabyrd said...

JO!!---Didn't you know---'GYPSY' doesn't eat catnip!!! ho!

magpie said...

MITS -
Thanks for the info on Finney's Nest - hope they get that one fixed soon, it's a nice one.

Parent at Scottish Wildlife, single chick osprey, is raising a racket right now....

http://www.thewebbroadcastingcorporation.com/swt/swt.php

That cam went through some changes over the week-end, angles are different, early this am I could really see the body of water in the background, and the camera zooms in on the chick from time to time. Parent is going nuts right now!

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNIN' MAGPIE!!---I've been missing you!!

MITS said...

thanks, John and Steven, for LIVE-FEED:)

magpie said...

Ditto that Double E-Sissy -
I think it just a matter of time...

...wait for it....wait for it....wait for it.....


xo Good Morning Everyone.

normabyrd said...

BEV---I AGREE---Every time I see the 'LITTLE PRINCE'---I begin smiling!!---He is the COOLEST PANDA on the block!!!-----

magpie said...

IT'S NICE TO BE HOME TO SEE NORMABYRD'S WIDE-EYED AND WIDE-SPIRITED GREETINGS IN THE MORNING..I'VE ALREADY BEEN AT WORK THE LAST FOUR DAYS WHEN IT GOT POSTED.... HALLELUJAH !

normabyrd said...

JO----3 burrowing owls are out at KENT---Sun isn't up yet--but it appears there are at least 3 there!!

magpie said...

Thanks, Norma! You say the nicest things! I've been missing ALL of you.

Here's a trick you all probably know already. On the flamingo cam, if you double left click on the camera pic, it goes full-size! Then just hit escape to take it back to little. I discovered that earlier this a.m. and saw the chicks!

And WHO gets the prize for turning us on to that site ????? He or She definitely must earn a double facial for that !

xo

deb said...

Good Morning, everyone. Thanks for letting us know about live feed!

normabyrd said...

OH MAGPIE!!!---Yooou are the gal that is "WIDE-EYED & BUSHY TAILED" in the am!!---ho!---You are funny!!

normabyrd said...

I AGREE STEVE!!----"LIVE" IS GOOD!-----Thanks--

magpie said...

HO, Norma! - I like that "HO" - It is definitely one of your trademarks!

INDIANA DAVE - Nice photos, I agree! You have been a Great Eagle Dad....like Lib, without feathers!

Those ducks in the little stream behind the flamingoes are pretty zippy. I think they are Mallards ?

I have two "flamingoes" at my place, (they are some kind of straw mixture or something) an adult, and one youngster. ....inside birds, they are great!

wvgal_dana said...

Woman on flamingo cam !!!!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Now we know how the chick got back in the nest lol

normabyrd said...

I THINK DANA or HELEN hand out the FACIALS!!!!!!

deb said...

Do they take the chicks away and examine them? A lady brought one back and took another.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

little bird foraging around in the nest looking for nestovers.

magpie said...

Scottish Osprey nest: Mama Isla, Baby Solo, and Father Angus. I learned that from an email from Chrissy...this site puts us closer to those two dear folks....
There are so many other links from the main cam page:

http://www.thewebbroadcastingcorporation.com/

I don't think I am telling you anything you don't already know, but it's worth repeating just in case....

deb said...

We have a very small visitor in the nest. It is at 3 right now, but it is moving around.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

These little birds better be careful or they will be the nestovers!

MITS said...

Norma, I just posted the story about the poop facials...Dana gives out the prizes:)

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DEB!!---Those FLAMINGOS are not exchanging love pats --- are they!!!----What was the woman doing at the FLAMINGO site?---I used to check out the NZOO first when I got up & one could see "people" in the pens all the time---cleaning, etc.

magpie said...

Wow, it is just great to have LIVE FEED again our nest....THANKS EVERYONE AT NCTC..JOHN, STEVE ESPECIALLY, I SUSPECT...

If that Flamingo cam had sound...I bet it is squawky there....but it's just BEAUTIFUL the way it is and I ain't complaining !

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Magpie and Deb ( :

Thanks for the live feed Steven and John Good Work (:

Magpie you gave the heads up ty

wvgal_dana said...

She put chick on a more flat mound 2 were going to fall off again. Funny just like it says when the chicks leave. When feeding time comes parents find their own chick without a problem. Well lady did that and parents had no problem finding their chick again.

magpie said...

NORMA - Did you see the post the other night when someone was teasing you about having a "BIRDS AND THE BEES" talk with you....It was pretty cute. I can find it if you missed it....

Gonna go to Google now and look for that YOU TUBE of the Flamingo Dance..

HI DOUBLE E-SHARON: You are the EARLY EAGLE BIRD that got the thread this morning !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND BELATED BIRTHDAY TO ALL...INCLUDING THE CAT !

wvgal_dana said...

Magpie I'm sorry you didn't know. I have been doing that since yesterday. That is how I have been catching the chicks too. I just put my cursor in middle of screen and right click and zoom.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

both pandas at the national zoo are justa munchin this morning!! Woke up hungry i reckon.

wvgal_dana said...

bbilw

deb said...

With all those birds so close together, it is a good thing they don't get into fights and just have little spats.

MITS said...

Sissy, pandas eat, sleep and poop....that is their life:)

MITS said...

MESSAGE FROM SUZANNE
LOL, well please tell everybody that Gypsy says thank you for
remembering her special day! She'll get lots of extra pets this
afternoon, and she's gonna have a catnip party. My fresh catnip has got
to be stronger now, so it should work this time. If the fresh doesn't
work , I have some realllllllllly goooooooooood dried stuff.

magpie said...

HEY WV GAL DANA: I was actually up same time as you this morning, too sleepy to post but not to read...and was about to when I saw you were "going to lay back down," and I DID THE SAME !

You were first on....all by yourself....then the other early birds roosted on here too, Double E-S, Wanda, Dave...we're all pretty much on here 24/7 one way or another.....

xo to All

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

MITS said...

normabyrd said...

HELEN & BEVE!!----Sounds good to me!!----Someone brings the food & some one scoops up the "poop"!!---But I think that someone examines the "poop" too!----(NOT!)---you also have a pool to play in!!!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Right Norma, have to have playtime as well. Pool for sure!! Mits, tell that big water good morning for me. Looks like I am not going to get to see it this year. Still go to little water though!!

normabyrd said...

MAGPIE!!----HELEN was teasing me because when I heard about the birth of 2 RED PANDAS at the KNOXVILE ZOO----& learned the father lived at NZOO!!!----I GOT SO EXCITED---I SAID 2 RED PANDAS WERE HATCHED...... (i try) ho!

MITS said...

CAPE HENELOPEN STATE PARK IS 30 MILES FROM ME,, might have to pay it a visit

magpie said...

Wow - eight YouTubes later, I just saw a bunch of flamingoes, including 4 million along the shore in Kenya (National Geographic one, with the rough but true rules of nature....) -
Better than going to the movies!

There are so many links, and it sounds like all the videographers were enjoying themselves. This'll get you started. Now I KNOW how loud it is at the ZOO.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzThkTRzsQQ

I see that little bird OUR NEST, now to try to figure out what it is...long tail, maybe Mockingbird ?

MITS said...

not true, Norma, I'm never quite with the program either...

MITS said...

was thinking the same thing, Magpie, mocking bird

magpie said...

MITS - you ARE the program....!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' PAULA!!---We are watching the FLAMINGOS!!----SPECTACULAR!!!

normabyrd said...

The GERMAN STORKS have always been a favorite of mine!!---Last year--we could see traffic going by & sometimes -- people too!!---

Lolly said...

NORMA.....Amen to that! I love my mornings and I move s-l-o-w. Sleeping to 8:30 though is not the usual. This time of year I need to get up a little earlier to enjoy the morning as it is a little cooler.

Lolly said...

Plan to get out and do a little work in the yard this morning. Should have been doing it two hours ago! LOL Oh well!

MITS said...

Thank you Lisa for the new osprey nest...nice coloring and sound.

Lolly said...

I am out of here now! Going to grab a bite to eat and head out. Talk with you later. Have a fantastic day!

normabyrd said...

BUTA BUTA is asleep outside on the log structure!----So it evidently isn't TOO HOT in ATLANTA!!---or the 'LITTLE IMP' would be sleeping inside in the day room!!----

magpie said...

You can see the Mother Osprey at CT overshadowing the chicks...must be on the next closest up branch...some mud bogs in that nest too I think.

OUR eaglet sticking around for many to see this morning...how generous and thoughful.

MITS posted the Delaware cam site on yahoo..THANKS MITS!

I am a swordfish...still waiting for company...

Well, I said something about chores awhile back...guess I better get started.

paula eagleholic said...

Eaglet was talking to something before he just took off!

deb said...

Juvie moving to the launch pad and gone.

normabyrd said...

JO!---Wanted you to know that there are 6 or 7 burrowing owls out waiting to say HELLO to you!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Should be able to do a cut and paste into your address bar. Osprey cam with sound that Lisa put up at BWO.

Bob Quinn said...

Hey Norma - I saw your note yesterday about getting some photos from the osprey banding trip next Saturday. I'll be there too so you can count on it.

wvgal_dana said...

Little chick has fallen back off nest again I see.
Love the cam operator there ty cam operator ( :

MITS said...

awwww fall down go boom!!!!

deb said...

That little one needs rescued again!

magpie said...

HI NATURE NUT, WHEREVER YOU ARE !!

Wanted to tell you and COSTUME LADY, that one of the Scarlet Tanagers I saw in 2006 - was an "Orange Variant" - just a paler color, well, orange actually with the black wings. - it was nice.
My brother goes to Colorado in the winter to study prairie dogs and has seen the Painted Tanagers there. Lucky Him !
The other tanagerss ones I have seen, or tried to see because they are so elusive! - were the "regular" red ones, if you can call such a spectacular bird "REGULAR."

I hope to go looking again this week on my days off...

magpie said...

..ooops, Ornithologial gaffe - make that WESTERN TANAGER (I guess I was thinking Painted Bunting...) (excuses, excuses..)

normabyrd said...

Brave little FLAMINGO CHICK!!---just moved over & sat down on MOM'S foot!----good thinking on CHICK'S part!!!----I think I read the flamingos slow down as the day goes on!!!---more active in am!

deb said...

Osprey at BWO, Juvie at BWE.

normabyrd said...

THANKS BOB!---That would be GREAT!!---SUZANNE---(a momster) will be there one day!!---Thanks!

wvgal_dana said...

bbl if it starts raining at the flamingo cam....call and have them rescue the chick off the mound. Those areas around the mounds are for drainage for rain water.
Who knows maybe he could swim now. That would be cool.....later

Bob Quinn said...

Norma - Yes, Suzanne is going the same time. Lisa will be with us as well.

magpie said...

WE HAVE A MOUNTAINEER !

magpie said...

Or, as Normabyrd would say:
FREELOADER !

deb said...

We have two in the nest now.

magpie said...

YES DEB...THREE MORE TO GO AND WE HAVE THE WHOLE FAMILY..WOULDN'T THAT BE MAGICAL !

deb said...

Yes, I rewound to see when the second one arrived and saw a parent in the nest.

deb said...

Finally got the fly-in, food delivery quickly followed by second eaglet.

deb said...

All three for a food fight!

magpie said...

DEB - I can't rewind anymore...had a problem with the Real Player versions, went back to 10.5 so I could at least the the NCIC LIVE FEED..So I settle for yours and others' posted videos...like the FOOD FIGHT !

Man-o-man, they are doing some wing-flapping !

deb said...

I think whoever came in stoled the food, cam went all fuzzy then.

deb said...

I think we are back to an empty nest.

magpie said...

And now they are all chasing after him/her !!

deb said...

Nope, here comes one back. And gone again.

magpie said...

IN, OUT, BRANCH, FUZZ, IN, OUT, BRANCH, FLY OUT, COME BACK...WHAT TEASES !

deb said...

In and out this morning. (afternoon for you)

magpie said...

But just barely, DEB, only noon-fifteen here.

Well, back to attempt some chores, with frequent fly-bys back to this site and the birds....

CHORES, SCHMORES ! I'd rather play!

normabyrd said...

WHOA!!! BOB---Be careful!---Both LISA & SUZANNE!!----ho!!----ENJOY!!

MITS said...

off to do some condo chores too, not a great beach day:(

deb said...

There must be a flying show going on, that eaglet is all over the nest watching someone!

deb said...

Two in nest again.

normabyrd said...

HEY MAGPIE!!---I used to refer to the EAGLETS as MOUNTAINEERS!---I quit because I am always pushing WV on to everyone on the blog!!---Like the MOUNTAINEERS too!

magpie said...

...And, Gone.....

magpie said...

Well, Norma..if it wasn't for West Virginia and this NCTC site, we wouldn't have the blessings of this particular BLOG - so I think it's a GOOD THING...I wasn't sure who STARTED Mountaineers...BUT IT DID CATCH ON QUICK...knew you did Freeloaders..just didn't have time to back and check past Blogs...not that it's not fun to do that sometimes...to see "where we were..." You're Okay, Woman !

magpie said...

Two parents Delaware Osprey site.
Oh, forget it, quick as a bird he left...

Same as our nest, one babe in, then out....this is killing me!

normabyrd said...

BEV----Just scanned the blog & I'm sorry to learn your mother-in-law still isn't doing any better!!---Will keep her & your family in my thoughts & prayers---GOD BLESS---

magpie said...

Chicks under wings - flamingoes..nice camera work, volunteers....

NatureNut said...

It's so exciting that we can add Red Pandas to our bird sighting lists, since they hatch!!!LOL
BBL- gotta get B'day cards at store before mailman comes

normabyrd said...

MAGPIE---STICK around till FOOTBALL SEASON!!---you might hear the word 'MOUNTAINEERS' a few times---ho!----WV LOVES THEIR MOUNTAINEERS----(especially when they are winning)---

normabyrd said...

WILL GET YOU FOR THAT NATURENUT!!------SUZANNE is coming the same day BOB QUINN & LISA are!!----Should be a fun day!!

magpie said...

My computer is in protest...I keep getting pop-up boxes that say:

GET BACK TO WORK....!!

So, I guess I will give it a try....Sigh !

NATURE NUT: Can't you just camp out in a lifeboat or something? Add another deck?

magpie said...

Phooey! Lost the live feed. Think that is called an "engineering control..." (active or passive, I don't know) - but it must mean, GET BACK TO WORK!

normabyrd said...

I am watching at least 3 little FLAMINGO chicks now---I can't see that 1st chick's MOMMA!!---Hope I am wrong!!---little one keeps stepping back!!

normabyrd said...

MAGPIE---You aren't alone!!--Mine is gone too!

normabyrd said...

Her MOMMA is back!---She is such a dear---so tiny & kinda stumbling around!!!---bless her heart---

normabyrd said...

SCOTTISH OSPREY has left the CHICK alone & little CHICK is really howling!!!

Mema Jo said...

HELEN - Check your emails

Ceil - call Helen and tell her to check her emails!!!! Thanks.

deb said...

Live feed is back!!

magpie said...

Thanks for the news DEB, now I can take another work break....
