GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Yes it is a beautiful morning, Sissy. It is 64° and sunny. Going to be cooler than yesterday, but still hot. 87°

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Stay cool today Mits!

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning, Helen. Two forcasts at the same time. LOL

MITS said...

it still is going to be hot, but not as bad as last few days, told hubby everyone will be rushing to the zoo today....it will be a long day for me, will not get home til after meeting tonight

MITS said...

and I'm still tired from weekend and baby sitting:)

MITS said...

2 are better than none, Wanda:)

Costume Lady said...

Helen, what do you do when it is so hot at the zoo? Do you stay inside most of the time. I guess there aren't many visitors when it is extremely hot.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hey Mits - you left out something!!

MITS said...

no, Wanda, there are 7 species of animals on the ASIAN TRAIL, not just the giant pandas, last week I was by myself so when that happens usually you will stay by the pandas, and when it started to rain, went inside, but today there will be 3 of us on the trail, only go inside if weather is dangerous.

MITS said...

on the other hand, the zoo does not want us endangering ourselves either, so they sent out warnings about heat stroke and what to do.

MITS said...

AAAAAAAMMMMMEEENNNNNNN!!!!!!! my bad:)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Very good. Thank you very much!

MITS said...

I did something this a.m. I never do, watched the news......saw a family in Wisconsin lose there home to the floods, and NBC is in China, 69,000 plus people dead, almost 20,000 still missing, and 5 million homeless due to the earthquake, kinds put things in proper perspective in relation to a cam that does not work

floralgirl said...

87° and sunny, YES!! - who would have ever thought 87° would sound good? good morning:)

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

It sure does, Mits.

Two in the nest.

MITS said...

Megan, did you go to market yesterday?

floralgirl said...

Yes, I did go to mkt. yesterday, bloody hot, but at least we weren't out in the sun.

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---I'm proud of you HELEN!!---Watching NEWS is a GOOD thing!!---I must be rubbing off on me!!---I watch NEWS most all the time!!!--Anxious to hear about INDIANA DAVE & how he is getting along attempting to clean up his flood mess!!---That's terrible!!!

ceil said...

I was checking and Ms Inbetween fledged on June 9th. Spunky on June 14th. Today has got to be the day for Tiny. Or I am going back to the nest. Have a good day everyone. Hi ho hi ho its off to work I go.

MITS said...

normabyrd said...

MEGAN---I thought of you yesterday-----wondering how you & your flowers were 'adapting' to this FL weather!!----It's 69° now---feels like DECEMBER!!---ho!!---

normabyrd said...

CEIL----Don't work too hard!!---I think 'little poop' is holding out for FLAG DAY!!----

normabyrd said...

#3 must be sitting on the cam---It's that beautiful rainbow color!-----NOT A GOOD THING!!

glo said...

OK well everyone enjoy your day. Hope you see a fledge. Think thats all for me for this morning anyway.

I am glad to hear it is cooler for Tiny to think his way through how to fly now!!!

normabyrd said...

What time do you go to the ZOO today HELEN?----Did you get any bad weather last night?

floralgirl said...

HA, HA, I am still not awake- I thought Norma wrote he was sitting on the can...

normabyrd said...

normabyrd said...

MEGAN---FUNNY GIRL!!---

normabyrd said...

What time do you go to the ZOO today HELEN?----Did you get any bad weather last night?

floralgirl said...

Later gators, off to water gh so I can run some errands in town.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Has there ever been an instance when the eaglet doesn't fledge?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Parent in nest. Wonder if they brought food?

MITS said...

Norma, as soon as I get dressed will go to zoo, have cams from 10 til 1, then 1 to 4 shift, then 4 to 6 cams and meeting at 6:30p,m,, I am just learning the cams in case ther is a pregnancy and cub watch

MITS said...

COMCAST WILL NOT LET ME INTO MY E-MAIL!!!!!!!

Costume Lady said...

COMCAST WILL NOT LET ME INTO THE NEST!!

Costume Lady said...

It would be sooo exciting to have another Panda birth at the zoo. Something to fill in our empty nest syndrome.

NatureNut said...

Hi Everyone::
I just got a pic on the still cam!!!
There's one. 70's here right now-pleasant break.

Carolina Girl Sandy said...

YIKES!! Is Tiny still there. Cam was pretty clean on launching pad and refreshed ...not sure the brat is still there....

MITS said...

I agree, Wanda:)

Carolina Girl Sandy said...

paula eagleholic said...

Eaglet munching on breakfast

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD WEDNESDAY MORNING TO ALL TINY FLEDGE WATCHERS OUT THERE! :) I am at school and just had to check in to see if Tiny had made the big leap of faith.

carolinabeachmom said...

Looks like a full nest of siblings. Must be breakfast time.

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE...

I hope the worst of the heatwave is behind you. Maybe people's brains will return to a functioning mode and we will be able to view the cams without all that 'noise.'

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

carolinabeachmom said...

I came in early today and finished up what I could in the room. Now I am waiting for my teacher to sort through all her junk so it can be put away in monthly boxes.

Carolina Girl Sandy said...

Wow...nice picture.

Morning Carolina Beach mom....which beach?

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' CANDY!!----Hey---She seems to enjoy being the only child left in the NEST!!---ho!---The other 2 keep dropping by to EAT!!---MISS YOU!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Well, gotta head out and do something. All have a wonderful day. Hope Tiny waits until I get home and see it live. If now, I know womeone will have captured it on video.....I hope.

Enjoy your day.

carolinabeachmom said...

HEY NORMA AND SANDY. I am in North Carolina Outer Banks, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, etc. Been here for 26 years now. NORMA so good to be on and talk to you. Today is my last day at school, so I might be able to get back into staying in my PJ's for the morning and get my coffed and chat. Can't wait. Miss you all too.

normabyrd said...

CANDY---Maybe that's what she is waiting for----She wants you home when she blasts off!!----ho!The 'little poop'!!----Sometime she is just TOO COOL!!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Are you close to me SANDY?

carolinabeachmom said...

NORMA, I can't get it live here at school..:( How aare those divers treating you? I haven't read where anyone has seen them lately.
I guess to many different birds to watch.

carolinabeachmom said...

Do have to go now. I think it is time that Steve gives you all a new thread. Wake up Steve. New thread time. :)

Carolina Girl Sandy said...

CAndy, I'm about as far away as I can get and still be in NC. I'm in the northwest piedmont, about 5 minutes from the VA line. My daughter will be out your way in July with the girl scouts to ride horses on the beach though.

paula eagleholic said...

I have our Momster's visit nest pics ready. You can see them here

paula eagleholic said...

Parent arrives!! Calling out, mantling....Liberty gone!!

Costume Lady said...

Holy Macrel! It looked like they might have injured Dad. Maybe it was just the camera.

Mema Jo said...

Good Wednesday Morning
I guess it paid off waiting in the nest with Tiny - Adult did food drop

Mema Jo said...

Come on spunky Tiny - it was really meant for you....

Costume Lady said...

That must be Pearl visiting with Tiny.

Costume Lady said...

Maybe if Dad brought in a Porcupine, Pearl would stop grabbing everything!

paula eagleholic said...

Banding at the West End nest is supposed to occur today!! Will post more info as I know it...

normabyrd said...

WOW!--WOW PAULA!!----I would like one of each!!---Those are GREAT!!!---REALLY best EAGLE/EAGLET photos!!!!
Thanks!!

Lolly said...

Good mronign! Just got on in time to see the last food drop. Don't know who is mantling but the other sure must be hungry, trying to get a bite or two.

Lolly said...

morning!!!

normabyrd said...

---If #3 takes off---please send SUZANNE a pic----LATER------

paula eagleholic said...

Pearl or Middy is gone...Tiny still in the nest.

Mema Jo said...

WOW! WOW! WOW!

posted! Fantastic captures!

Lolly said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Now I am getting sound but no pic.

Mema Jo said...

I lost my RP but my Still Cam is running. I am trying to restart....

paula eagleholic said...

My RP has sound and no pic :(

Carolina Girl Sandy said...

awesome pictures of the nest visit. I gotta question though. Can you guys hear them when you are there?

Thanks for sharing. Someday I'll get up there.

Mema Jo said...

Just sound like your Sharon..

paula eagleholic said...

I'll send Steve an email

paula eagleholic said...

Yes Sandy, you could hear them peeping in the nest....I have video to work on tonight - you can hear them peeping in it. Of course, it's not as loud as the cam, because you are farther away

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

So, is anybody else just getting sound and no pic?

Carolina Girl Sandy said...

yep, sound and no pic here too!

paula eagleholic said...

Tiny still at the 6 position

Mema Jo said...

Yepper We are getting sound & no pic.. Paula did email Steve.

Mema Jo said...

BBILW

Carolina Girl Sandy said...

I can't see squat on the 30 sec cam either. Oh well....you guys keep posting so I'll know what's happening

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am thinking that Steve might not be in since we don't have a new thread yet.

NatureNut said...

Same here--Live cam says "Playing", but black pic & some scratchy sound. 30 sec was rainbow.
See Paula got some pics on--maybe can view them at work!!!
Outta Here.

Carolina Girl Sandy said...

Tiny is on the move again. Hanging out at the launching pad

Carolina Girl Sandy said...

anybody watching?? She's hopping all over the place....

paula eagleholic said...

Hopefully he will be able to check his email soon...

paula eagleholic said...

AT 6 now.

Finally a clear pic

movin said...

Thanks for the photos from the group's visit to the nest, Paula. I have them in a separate window, looked at the slide show once, will probably run it again. [:~D]

You know, there are some very interesting people in the collection too!

Looks like everyone had a great time. Was that "Sandra" our Sandra Osborne?

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yes, Jim, that was "our Sandra".

Costume Lady said...

Great photos, Paula.
Yes, Jim, that is OUR Sandra and her husband, Tom.

Costume Lady said...

It was so good to see her.

Costume Lady said...

Jim, she is able to walk on her own, along with the assistance of a cane. She ate well and laughed and joked just like her old self.

paula eagleholic said...

Sharon - did you see the very last pic? I have a couple to send to you...I'll have to do it when I get home...

movin said...

Do you mean the Turtle Crossing sign, Paula?

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I did see that Paula. That is a good pic even if I am in it.

I told Paula, Sissy and Mattie that they even had a sign telling the eagles where to get the turtles. Service with a smile.

I just added a few more pics on the yahoo page.

paula eagleholic said...

That would be it, Jim. :)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Paula, thanks for the pics. I downloaded the whole album to my computer. I will try to do that with mine, though alot are the same. That is a great way to share all these pics with each other. I love Picasa.

paula eagleholic said...

Thank goodness Tiny is staying put for now...we'd miss the video for sure.

Still at 6 on the nest

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Sissy, there are never too many eagle pics to look at. I love your one of Tiny getting some air.

I would put mine on the Momsters site...but I load them in large size and it doesn't work there, so I put them on Picasa.

PS - I didn't know you could download a whole album!

hedgie said...

So sad....
Wolong, China (AP): Mao Mao the panda's remains were gently laid in a wooden crate and wheeled to a patch of ground in China's famed Wolong Nature Reserve where a freshly dug grave awaited. The center's director stood cap in hand and shoveled in a few spades of dirt. Then Mao Mao's keeper stepped forward crying, and arranged two apples and a piece of bread by the grave. Three minutes of silence followed as workers gathered around the grave. NEarly a month after she was crushed to death when China's devastating earthquake collapsed the wall of her enclosure, 9 year-old Mao Mao was laid to rest Tuesday in a quiet corner of the Wolong panda breeding center....Mao Mao's body was discovered Monday, buried under debris."

Mema Jo said...

That is a very touching - the respect shown and the closeness of man & panda. It is very sad.

hedgie said...

Steve must be off today!

Mema Jo said...

From what MITS said - I have cams from 10 til 1!
She is zooming in on the Ray Charles Panda dance lol
I just bet that is her cam...

Mema Jo said...

Now panda has Fruitcycle treat..

Mema Jo said...

H-viller- I am also thinking that he isn't on campus - Not because of Live Feed not being fixed but because of not getting a new thread.

paula eagleholic said...

Still a fuzzy pic on our cam...but Tiny still at 6 on the nest

paula eagleholic said...

Hang on...maybe some RP progress

paula eagleholic said...

My RP totally down...maybe resetting??

Mema Jo said...

I had just tried RP
It buffered - but no pic for me

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I was thinking resetting too Paula.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am not sure if the still pic is even updating. What do you all think?

Mema Jo said...

But right now we only get File Not Found message.

I wish Tiny would move a little out from under the cam......
Just so we know that our Still Cam picture hasn't frozen. My timer is going good..... but would like for him to move a wing or two!

paula eagleholic said...

RP - I guess not!

The 30 second is updating....although pic has been very fuzzy

Mema Jo said...

LOL Sharon - we are doing it again

I answer you before I see your
question ......
That's a "Eagle Buddy" thingy

Paula any update as to time of the banding at WE -

paula eagleholic said...

Sorry, I think I am wrong on that last post...just compared a pic from 10 minutes ago...I think the 30 second cam is frozen as well :(

Mema Jo said...

Nothing yet at WE - haven't read all their forum comments.
Wray must have had a go around with the ravens earlier!
Will her white head ever be white again..

paula eagleholic said...

I've sent out another email to someone else at NCTC...

paula eagleholic said...

No update yet on WE banding time...

Mema Jo said...

West End - Peter said he'd post a note if indeed it would take place today as expected so keep an eye out! (and usually it's later in the day due to the LONG drive to WE).

Those raven attacks are fierce!

Mema Jo said...

Sounds like one of our 6:00 viewings for the banding if in fact it happens. Both adults are at the WE nest - the raven situation doesn't make Dr Sharpe's arrival very welcomed!


Going to get some LUNCH! BBL

glo said...

paula eagleholic said...
I've sent out another email to someone else at NCTC...
