HELLO, PAULA...how are you feeling?
Morning all.
Crime and intrigue in Berkeley Co. Body of young man found, and suspect arrested. This "kid"--the victim--went to school w/ my girls. Had been missing for about 10 days.
Happy birthday, Tai!
how sad, Lynn.
Sorry to hear that news Hedgie
Tai looks like his morning was exhausting... Glad that all of you got to witness his 3rd Birthday - waiting for some pics to be posted on his site.
Well I miss Deb already.. She sends out such great pics of the cams. She said this is a yearly reunion with her friends.
Helen - PandaCam - You may have told us before but is there now only 1 cam for the pandas? I just can't get the PandaCam 2 up anymore.
I keep forgetting to tell my contact at zoo....it doesn't say panda cam 2 anymore, and you can go to it, but once you are there and try to go back shows same cam, have to go start the page all over again
Flamingos - the 2 new chicks are visible over with the group of long legged adults. They just make themselves at home with the big guys!
Isla's chick has fledged!
Link to Scottish Osprey Cam
Already????? man that time went fast.
Jo...Isla's cam is just black screen...how 'bout for you? Can't be dark yet!
mine is up ok, Lynn
2nd rise in Mei's hormone level just reported on news! Looking hopeful!?!
Good morning! Been out watering pots! Now I am cooling off. Whew! Unexpectedly water fell from the sky yesterday...all over my yard. We got 2 tenths of an inch! WOW! Want rain so badly!
Sorry I missed the birthday party this morning. I am sure it was fun to watch. Love those panda pictures we received yesterday! so cute!
Gotta clean house today. Sharon and Dan coming tomorrow. Kids coming Friday. Cleaning and cooking on the schedule!
Still black...must be me! Thanks, Mits.
I just tried from the link and it was black at first but then pic came on....

Time for some lunch
BBL
that is July 3rd report they are talking about,Lynn....she gets ultra sounds on Wednesday a.m's, they have to send out blood tests to Front Royal, so it takes awile to get results, when the time gets closer they will set up a lab just for her blood tests at the zoo. But none of this matters if it is a false pregnancy, pandas act the exact same way, and get same results even if it is false
2008 Pregnancy Watch
July 3
Mei Xiang’s urinary progestin concentrations continue to increase. Everything is looking fine and we are still expecting to see increasing progestin concentrations over the next few weeks.
THEY ARE ONLY CHARTING THE DATA FROM 4 TIL 7 RIGHT NOW, AS THINGS PROGRESS, THEY WILL GO TO A 24 HOUR WATCH
Last year they had just gone to the 24 hour watch when her levels dropped and they knew right away it was a pseudo pregnancy
Thanks for update, Helen!
Been to the beach yet today? Hear that water temp is 67...still a little chilly, huh?
Helen--have you heard from Ceil and Mary Margaret today? When are they due home?
Been to the sundeck the last 2 days, it has been windy....here at the ocean our temps have been between 70 and 72, the last few days....need to get condo ready for company this weekend again, so probably will not get out to the beach today, beside it is a little cloudy, sun index is 6 today
I have not heard from them since Sunday....don't know where they are, guess I better call
Ecuador hummers very active today...few ants or bees to interfere!
Lynn, that cam has been down since July 3rd, it is running on a loop
Well, I got left all alone over there this time. Hey ya'll!!
awww, Sissy, sorry:(
normabyrd; I will have to make a
trip to WV to the NCTC open house,
all you have to do is give me
directions to get there.
Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave
Yeah, I hate the hummer cam being down. I love watching it.
Loch of Lowe's cam finally opened! Someone in nest...assuming adult.
Doesn't that figure, Mits! Nice clear loop, tho'..LOL!!
Dave....never fear! We will make sure you can find your way. That's great!! Not sure if Vicki (your Indiana compatriot) is coming or not, but hope so.
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE...
Hope you have a great day.
[:~)]
Jim
Foggy at Finney's. Can anybody tell I'm checking all cams??? HaHa!
yes it is a very good loop.
we are having some very light rain showers now..
regarding the panda cam, answer from my zoo contact
It is a link problem..
They are working on it
It looks as though one of the eagles ... maybe the parents ... dropped some food over the side at the WE nest.
When I opened it, it looked like the older one was trying to descend on foot over the left side of the nest.
C(°?°)3
Jim
Star has revisited the Two Harbors nest today. She's flaked out in it now.
C(°?°)3
Jim
Mits, it's not just the panda cam; flamingos, too!
my flamingo cam is fine, what is wrong, Lynn?
great shot of the clouded leopard on its cam, you can see its nice long tail
Got to see our juvie for a little while and then he/she went POOF !
Thanks for the report that Star had returned! It amazes me how these juvies find their way home just by instinct I guess.
Dave Do you want directions the way the Eagle Flies for Oct 18
Open House? Seriously - it would be fantastic if you came!
YOU TOO JIM !
Different view on the otters
They are scurrying all over the grounds.
was just watching them, Jo. have you seen the clouded?
look fast, think it is going to move
nope, it settled back down
Missed the sloth bears, leopard and the fishing cat. I wasn't fast enough with the leopard - I was going through all 4 yards for the bears.
It is HOT up here. I walked out to water the potted plants and was in my bare feet on the deck - Fried Feet
Just like trying to walk on hot sand!!!
You should have some pictures of M&M's visit on the Fourth! Right?
With the shadows and the distortions on the RP Live Feed - sometimes it seems like you see a juvie and it really isn't one!
Hedgie, Vicky is from Illinois not Indiana.
Jo, the clouded is still there.
I have the same pic on both panda cams.
Blogger Cop ate my last post.....
I see the Clouded leopard and I think he is beautiful. The patterns on his coat are unbelievable I would love to see a cub.....
Hi Red I was going to tell Hedgie the same thing - Glo and Vicky are both from IL but miles apart from each other!
Good to hear from you. Did you see about the Lake Washington's one eaglet.....?
it is cool and drizzly here, Jo....no pics from the 4th yet:(, son and d-i-l are so busy it takes some time before I get them, and we took pics with our old camera, so I won't have them on the puter.
read my post above, Sissy
Hey There Sissy -- HI!
You're just so lucky! I can only get 1 cam & from what Mits just heard from the zoo is that the to PandaCam 2 is out.
The Otter Brothers are still playing
"Catch me if you can" lol
Right you are, Red and Jo...I knew that! My brain must have been cloudy!!
Mits...flamingo cam was just black, too...will try again!
oh, okay, got different ones now. Did ya'll know I want to be a panda when I grow up? :)
I think around 20 have responded to the What Color Blue are You quiz.
That is good participation... SURE COULD USE SOME MORE PERIWINKLES!
OCEAN BLUE is on TOP !
Yeah, Jo, that ocean blue must be a nature lover, bird lover thang!!
SISSY You would be the most adorable panda in the world! We wouldn't even dream of sending you
to China! KEEP WISHING!
Jo. I knew one of the Lake Washington eaglets died if thats what you meant.
could use some Royal Blues too;)
Still nothing. Must either be some weather issues, or hughes.net problems!
Lynn, make sure you click on the play button....all of mine are working fine.
One of the flamingos was having a HISSY FIT! Jumping all over the place. You can see the 2 youngest & they seem to copy what they see. lol
Flamingo Link For Lynn
Hope it worked for you Lynn
"HERE COME THE CHICKS"
so funny how the mallards just keep walking amongst the flamingos
I forgot to tell you Sissy that I really do like your avatar..
I must tell all you new guys that I am not allowed to change the Sycamore Nest Tree ...........
First of all I don't really remember how to change it and secondly it is too sentimental to remove from this blog!
I see after I contacted my guy at the zoo, they have taken down the "try this cam" from underneath the cam. Hope the link problem gets fixed soon.
i stole that avatar from an email someone sent me, jo. I love yours too. It means so much more now that I have seen the nest.
Good Morning/Afternoon Paula, Hedgie, Jo, Lolly (again), Jim, Red and anyone I missed.
Tonight and rest of week at nights in 60°
I'm an Ocean Blue
Hedgie Vicky is from Illinois .. Yep Red got that right ( :
Hedgie how old was the boy? What school did he go to? I don't remember seeing anything pic or such in paper about a missing boy. Except the guy Tucker from Falling Waters. Missed it I guess...
Darn Blogger Cop.....he needs to get a life...lol
Jo I used my crock pot on Thursday and the meat was so tender. ( :
Have to keep buying lids though because they keep becoming "UFO's" lol just kidding....
MITS: That was good thinking by removing Try This Cam-no one will
have any complaints-
It is what it is! OR
What you see is what you get! lol
I agree with you DANA
Blogger Cop needs to get a life !
ROFLMBO
Dana - I have NOT seen any low flying lids here in the valley!
I wonder if Candy has seen any down her way? lol
pics from Fox news 5 in DC of Tai's Birthday celebration.....
TAI TURNS 3
yeah, this is true, Jo.....my contact knows I am on his butt about the cams all the time, probably sorry he ever met me.....
thanks, mits. Those were great pics of Tai. He certainly teased us this morning.
Love Tai's pics!
Like you were told earlier
GET A LIFE BLOGGER BOY
I am going to run about 2 local errands
BBL
Go figure...Jo's link worked fine, then I went back to mine and it worked ok, too!!! My 'puter must just be having a bad day!
Dana...it was the Tucker guy. They found him down near Kurtis Rd. and Crawford Quarry Rd., "buried" near the trailer of the guy they arrested. Check 25 news at 5 for details or go to
your4state.com site--pic and name of man arrested there.
Thamks Hedgie I was following that on Tucker. Sad poor young child without it's Daddy now. Thanks for the news link since I can't get channel 25 alive on tv.
Wonder what Manford's reasons were???
bbl starting dinner
Mei Xiang is honking, sounds a little stressed
Dana, his wife (almost ex-) just said on the news that he was involved w/ drugs and that was how he was acquainted w/ the accused.
Re: 25---that's why I keep hooked up to the antenna along w/ satellite so that on the rare occasion that there's big news locally (like when Nora Roberts' hotel burned in Boonsboro), I can still get it! Of course, that one even made the DC news!
she is nesting in the den where she gave birth to TAI
Helen, what would cause the stress? Crowds? Hormones? Heat? Poor Mei. They just said on the news that 25 babies were born in captivity in '05...didn't know that! Wonder if that's worldwide or just stateside?
That would be world-wide, Lynn, including China
stress could be caused by anything and everything, Lynn
Howdy, all. Heading home to mow...catch up on the blog later...
poor Mei is plumb tuckered out
Mei Xiang is showing increased pregnancy or pseudopregnancy behaviors; nest building, paw licking, nipple licking, cradling.
Mei is now confined indoors unless she exhibits wanting to go outside. An ultra sound will be attempted tomorrow if she cooperates and the latest hormone readings will be available tomorrow afternoon or Friday morning.
This is what you have been seeing when you watch Mei Xiang
2 osprey at BWO
my live feed went down awhile ago, and, never came back up
I ran my errands and stayed local
Came home & we just finished dinner
MT Nest Still Cam
My Live Feed is down - I had turned the pc off when I left - maybe should not have done that....
Any of you still have Live Feed?
You answered me faster then I asked, Mits! lol
We had 23 drops of rain a while ago.
They were big drops so I was able to count them accurately ...
roflmbo......23 drops, that's amazing, Jo:)
cleaning is done, doing laundry, waiting for my delivery order for dinner....Italian cold cut sub, that way I have lunch tomorrow....food shopping tomorrow for the crew coming in on Friday....
hopefully a little sun time tomorrow too:)
I think Mei is snoring:)
yes, she is snoring:)
Ha! I wasn't here at the time, but it seems we got about 32 drops of rain...
roflmbo....you win, Megan!
yes....finally a win...
So what was the big prize my Ocean Blue Lady?
hmmm...good question...
she gets a day off!!!
Yes! you are right, because I have been off all day, went to the mall with teen, hubby and MIL, few other errands, paid some bills online, and had dinner at Olive garden. I think this is the first day I have not been in the garden since April.. I'm worn out- but temps aren't bad now, and I'm going out to take some pictures and watch the hummers.. BBL
Well you gals beat me...think I only had 22 drops!!
My daughter saw a brush fire on her way home from work--and it was raining pretty hard where she was--but she couldn't get 911 to go thru' on her cell, so she called me and I called it in. No record of controlled burn; on arrival, FD found no one in attendance and several large brush piles in farm field on fire; they couldn't get the tanker truck in because the ground was too soft. Never heard the outcome!
off to eat dinner...bbl.
Megan - I am glad you had a special day and I will look for you new pics
Hedgie - Hope it burned itself out!!
MITS - Enjoy your sub!!
MT NEST
BBL
Good evening my eagle buddies!
Still an MT nest. I just got what had to be the world's smallest tick off of Ellie Mae. It was in her arm pit or I would have never seen it. It was about 1/2 the size of a small flea. Now I am sure I am eat up with em and just can't find em. I am getting that flea and tick Topspot stuff for them and ME!!
Hi, everyone..
Don't know if you've seen them, but there are new Reports for Catalina and for the Northern Islands posted now.
Island Reports
There's some sad news about the eaglets in the hacking tower and some good.
I haven't read the Catalina Report yet.
Check them out.
Jim
Hello, my flea/tick ridden sister!
Oh Lord, I just know those little bitty critters are everywhere. How would anyone ever find such a thing in their hair.
I guess you would have to wait until they get filled up with your blood! :)
Okay Sharon Lea, you need to shut up!
OK, no fighting...:)ladies..
osprey at BWO
Well, Mits, it was just a thought! :)
We will try to behave Mits. It's hard though, she is so mean to me:(
I am signing out for the night. All you beautiful eagle people have a wonderful night. See you in the morning light!!
HA! - We got the rain...I have puddles :)
EW!! who said ticks.... no puddles here, Paula wins..
I got drops of water laying on my ramp and porch due to the new water repellant we put on. Does that count???? lol
No puddles Paula just all droplets lol
We have enough puddles in Bluefield to share with everybody!
Hi family, couldnt you please send a little rain this way? Please....
sharon if thoes dogs get any bigger you are going to have to get another couch.
Sissy...that sounds like a deer tick (as in Lyme disease!). Is Ellie Mae human or animal? If human, keep close eye on entry site and if it gets inflamed or she has any aches, fever, etc. get her to the Dr.! I'm not sure if pets can get Lyme or not!
Oh yes, dogs can get Lyme disease...get my dogs vaccinated for it every year...watch for red inflamed circle ring around where tick was..
Almost looks like an eaglet in the nest...darn shadows
Hi everybody!!
Deb, I have been watching the kites and my daughter discovered there is a tree next to my folks house that is housing about 16 of them. I have been trying to catch a picture of them, they fly overhead as I lounge in the pool then fly away when I go to get the camera, those little buggers (they aren't all that small either).
I was watching them fly and it is really amazing how they shift their flight patterns by their tails and they look so graceful in flight and very noisy!!
The one we saw in Mississippi last year was black.
I just read about the eagle chicks at santa Cruz and I wish I hadnt.
Hi Robyn and Anne ( :
I cant figure out how to add pictures. I must have done it before because I have some in ther but who knows? can some one help me?
Hi Dana and Robyn. Life is rough Robyn sitting nest to a pool when it was 108 here today.
Hi Dana, Anne and everyone else here. I was trying to go over the blog, now I will go to my local newspaper online.
Anne it's a dry heat where you are lol.
It was 90 today but my goodness the humidity is nasty.
Anne it's a dry heat where you are lol.
It was 90 today but my goodness the humidity is nasty.
Anne, make up a blog and add them there.
Anne, put them on your "my pictures" blog.
Or were you trying to change your pic?
NBC 4 SLIDESHOW OF TAI'S BD PARTY
Anne - click on your blog....there should be an option to add a new post on the upper right of your page. Then you can click on the icon to add your pictures.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE:)
Night, Mits
Nite Mits:) Hey Jo I added a few garden pics to my blog.
Night Mits
I'm trying gang. I'm having problems with my downloader from vacation I wanted to share pictures but maybe not. BBL
Following those leaving out the door nite all zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Hi all! House is clean, groceries bought, ready for company.
Megan, love the pictures of your flowers! Boy, I headed right to them when I read your blog.
I need to take some new pictures. Our caladiums are looking so pretty.
So, once again I was rolling on the floor....counting the drops of rain. Love it!!! Laurel told me they got 10 inches of rain last night.....10 inches between the drops.
Sad about the eagle in the hacking tower. Which one was it it? The one with the wing or the beak problem? Certainly hope the best for the other.
I always get on here late and everyone has gone to bed. I am going to go read. Nite all!
Sorry, Lolly- I'm still around, but watching Deadliest Catch and cleaning coffee maker, and I just down loaded some more pics to my blog-- I believe they are piccs of 2 promethea silkmoths, they are mating, they had landed on the side of my house a few weeks ago, they are beautiful.
Was just gonna shut down---read some comments & so glad to see your moths, Megan!!! Those pics are racier than Wanda's "From Here to Eternity" facials !!!!! Your flowers are lovely & Lolly's are too!
Gotta go, Night to everyone, Pleasant Feather Dreams!!
Ha! Ha! yep, just a little nature porn.. added one more pic of a spring butterfly bush- I'm outa here too. Nite all.
Forty plus comments to catch up on just because I watched one TV movie...But it was a Hall mark & it was very good.
Going to read up on what I missed & then come back & say Good Night
NIte all, have a good eve.
The eaglet at Santa Cruz that died was A66 - he wasn't from the Pelican Harbor nest...he was from Northern California - a transplanted eaglet if you will. So Sad, he just got free.
Good Night Everyone
Peace to You & Yours
Prayers for all needs being said
gOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY...
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
