«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 395 of 395I like 2 too.
Raining here...any place else? No storming, tho'!
I am sticking with #1.
Awww, Bob is gone!
Live feed is up, pic is bad, music is gone!
But Bob Quinn is here :)
just got back to condo....thought I was finished laughing for the day, but just read the posts, and am ROFLMBO all over again....Jo, Megan was having a beer, not a beet:)
Indeed.
LOL, I saw that too Mits. Didn't think that would be too much fun, unless of course, they are pickled beets!
All that smoke must have affected the cam...that or the rum.
Apparently that was our doing. I've been in meetings all day so I missed it.
Steve
MESSAGE FROM STEVE
Well I can only say...free Bob Marley;)
WHY IS ALL THE RUM GONE??
guess you can smoke anything if you try hard enough....
July 30
Another two samples were analyzed today. The sample excreted yesterday afternoon had a progestin concentration of 55 ng/mg Cr., bringing yesterday's mean progestin value to 77 ng/mg Cr. The second sample, collected this morning, had a progestin concentration of 51 ng/mg Cr. Both of these values are lower than the values measured yesterday morning. However, these concentrations are still well above baseline—the luteal phase continues
C'mon Mei give it up
guess you all thought I was out shopping;)
Please, I don't like beets...
Eaglets got it, Sharon.
That must have been some meeting Steve...what with the Bob Marley music and all...
(just kidding!)
GIVE THE MARKET LADY A COLD ONE
MITS? Did you get gas in the car?
That was Wanda who typed beet, not Jo!!!
Hey Megan, I'll come have a cold one with you. Jo's buying.
You'll have to excuse Mits, she's been smoking.
Great, bring a kayak, we'll go look for eagles.
That was probably my favorite line from the original Pirates of the Caribbean.
yes Jo, I did, and it took forever filling it up, stopped when it hit $50.00 bucks.....sorry Jo thought you were talking beets.....Megan try it your like it....I'm not much of a beer drinker, partial to g&t's, but those coronas in the fridge are starting to look good, and I do have limes
love those pirate movies.aaaarrrggghhhhh!
nice closeup of Mei's butt...very important to see where she urinates for the samples they need
You people type too fast. I can't keep up.
Helen, G&T sounds good..it IS after 5!
My heavens, Mei's bladder must hold 2 gallons!
OMGosh - are you watching pandas pee on cam?? I do need a drink..
Bob, have a smoke & a drink, you'll get in the groove. I even put some of the music on the EM blog....
Eagletmomsters.blogspot.com </a
thanks, Paula, that will give Steve a chance to see what he missed.....yes it is happy hour time;)
Heading home, catch ya later
Bob, I'm a hunter and pecker....never have learned to type while watching the screen
H&P here too, can't type worth a darn.
And I'm late to the party as usual, but I just looked at Bob's pics and I like #1 the best.
that is my fav too:)
I think #1 is the overwhelming favorite Megan. Right now I'm think 1,7 and 2 in that order.

Mei Xiang had another quiet night. She woke up at 3:27 this morning and worked on nest building for 15 minutes, including ten minutes shredding an enrichment log. She did not move again until 6:43 a.m., just before the keepers arrived. Mei came out for an ultrasound and when the procedure was completed she wanted to hang out in the training area, and finish ALL of the food, before returning to her indoor enclosures.
Up until noon today, we saw brief periods of pregnancy behaviors. The most significant observations were 12 minutes of nest building involving shredding the log at 8:48 a.m. and two episodes of paw licking, totaling 11 minutes, later in the morning. Mei urinated at 8:45 a.m. and again at 12:04 p.m. The second time, Mei was lying on her back and did not shift, so this sample is not retrievable. She has been asleep since then.
REPORT FROM EARLIER TODAY
OK, I AM GOING TO SMOKE AND DRINK NOW.....CAN'T GET THE PANDA CAM BACK ON
You know what that might mean..
It's not your pc Mits
Panda cams are down... Does that mean there could be something going on with Mei?
i KNOW BUT SHE WAS FINE, JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO...SITTING THERE EATING NICELY
I heard a crash, and was going to investigate and it was gone, can you get on it Jo?
well if you can't get it on either, something may be up....will try my contacts at zoo, but doubt if they are still there.......
ok sent them an e-mail.....might try some voulunteers...
Sissy if you are around here,can you get the panda cam?
just checked weather, no storms in the area, but that rarely affects the cams
Catch y'all later. Off to fight what's left of DC traffic.
just checked the cam operator list , don't recognize the name, may be a newbie and hit wrong button.....I think I did that last week, but there is a clear button to get you back on, there was only one keeper on duty today and she would be gone by 4
Animal Planet cam is off too...so something may be up, not that they would be showing it either
Sissy is not here but I am. I am watching her in the birthing den eating bamboo!
good...it is just my puter than,,,darn#$%##^thanks Sharon
Mits i cant get up the panda cams neither been watching her almost constantly and alittle after 5pm she moved from one room to another and took a crap and peed what seemed a 5 gallon bucket on the floor ...So who knows whats going on.. hope you can find out!!
Sharon has her on Nilla...how ya doing?
Please Note: The Panda Video Cam is temporarily out of service due to technical difficulties. We are working to resolve the issue so check back soon to watch the giant pandas.
This is a message posted under the real player on Animal planet site.
my cam window is black on both and say ready but not coming on
Even when mine stops, I just hit play and it comes right back on Mits.
Megan, that notice has been on there for 3 years.....covering their butts when it doesn't work, don't know why they have it on there all the time, will ask that at next meeting
Oh, never saw it earlier- well,I can't open the cam either from the zoo site or animal planet.
that is what I have been doing,Sharon:) and that is what mine is saying Nilla, :(...oh well, it is what it is....cocktails anyone;)
ok Sharon, give it up.....what did you do when you visited the zoo, make a deal with Tai;)
Think she set up her own link so she never loses sight of that panda??
Well hello long lost Nilla wafer:)
yes, heard that had a private meeting.....she promised him bamboo if he moved to Bluefield
PANDA REPORT - SHE IS LAYING ON HER TABLE?? IN THE BIRTHING DEN!
Your so pretty and not so picky... You turning 60 today but dont worry you can hide your grey...lol Wish i was there to give ya a big hug.. so this will need to do...Your a special lady and we love ya dear.. So take aminute close your eyes and listen for my cowbell playing Happy Birthday to you!!!!!
Sharon can you see her?
Mine is still black
Hi Nilla..
Neither of the panda cams will open for me.

Howdy Nilla! How are ya?
I'll have a cocktail, Mits.
ANIMAL CAMS
I WENT HERE AND GOT ON WMP
Well Jo it seems what ever Sharon did or didnt do when she visited Tai she is the only priveldged one who can see Mei..lol Mits cant see nothing neither... I think it was last night Tai was sleeping but he was cuddling that toy of his in his arms.. I thought maybe he knows he wont be the baby long..lol
And now she is on her side!
I will never tell what kind of deal I made while at the zoo but the results are obvious, don't ya think?
Sleeping Sharon or the look of pushing on her face??
MMMM what kind Paula???? She is sleeping on her platform bed.
Very relaxed and sleeping. Hey, Nilla, how the heck are ya?
she's up
She is on the move now. Out of the birthing den now.
she is back in the outer den
Hmmm, lets see Mits....something tropical perhaps. Gotta use up your lime.
Okay, platform bed. Looks like a table to me! :) She is out on the rocks now.
no matter what zoo cam I used could not get on...had to go to another site which I posted above
Margaritas use limes, I'll take one of those.
Going to Sissy's now. She got some Wendy's for us for supper. BRB!
I got the Animal Cam up/running.
Thanks.
I really hate to drink alone:)
it's not a convenient Jo, but, at least we can see her
Kewl, talking about Shepherdstown on this weeks one tank of gas trip on channel 4. They didn't let out the secret of our eagles!
Mits, I got the cams fine on that link, too!
Boo Boo the Bear at Philadelphia Zoo celebrated his 30th birthday today...with a cake w/ peanut butter icing!! My kind of guy.
OK, gotta go get some chores done! BBIALW
they better not.....
Ok i got her up on animal camera too.. I will say lately Mei has no problem showing her stuff.lol Look at those teeth..
sorry, all are welcome to the nest....
funny when I go to the panda cam page and go to the bottom of the page...there are no animals
MOVIN: Found this on the Delta Cam blog:
"Jolomac -- currently the word is that Dan is in a flight cage and when they are certain he is capable of sustained flight they will return him to the nest AREA, not the nest itself, to be released. Eagles return to the areas where they fledged to start their own families so in four or five years they could be back with their own nests. Cool, eh?"
..don't know how "scientific" this is...
Good Evening All...I missed all th Reggae Fun! Thanks, PAULA, for capturing some of it: I KNEW YOU WOULD !!
xo
I have animal tags at the bottom of the regular Panda cams...
DELTA Nest empty, but I hear an Eagle Peep every now and then...(and all that vehicle noise!)
and I don't, Jo
Hope you had a decent work day, Magpie. The blog has really been hopping all day long.
Well, Number 300 Mema - I do see ducks at the Flamingo Cam !
YES MA'AM, jo!
When I opened up the Nest Site and saw there were 244 comments, I was really scared to start reading !! Thought something not-so-good might have happened...so naturally I was much relieved to see all the Reggae Talk !!!
While you are all waiting an dhoping for that new Panda Baby here is a sneak peak of tonights Feed blitz for the NCTC Eagle Cam Fans. My version of We Be Jammin
I have all the animal pics at the bottom of the Panda Cam, but a dark cam screen...just like the rest of you seem to be experiencing....
I need food, either delivery or I'm going out:)
GLO -
That's Great Stuff!
Thanks!
Such fun, also, to see some pics from the past!
xo
Tubby Time -
TTFN
YW Magpie Glad you enjoyed. Took quite some time but it was surely fun getting it together.
What a hoot Glo... I can see pecking Pearl now, pecking out that beat!!!
Glo, that was SO great! You are one talented computer whiz!! I was ROFLMBO when I saw "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy I Got Love in My Tummy".....when I was in college my boyfriend sang that to me while we were working a charity road rally checkpoint!!! Yeppers...a long time ago....'68!
Hedgie so many of us are awfully close in age with lots of similar memories for sure.
Iris its so easy to see Pecky Pearl pecking out that beat isn't it. We know that head movement form her for sure.
Another successful GLO Presentation!
Thanks, gal. Also the youtube video you found of 3 little birds was great!
BBL
GLO:
First thought I had watching your Presentation, after saying "OBOY this is fun," is what time and devotion you put into it. I love when the parents "hide" the instruments in the nest...and the little gold shopping bag!
And It's always nice to see the Eagle Kiss by JUST VICKY -
Thanks, too, Sharon for being part of the production staff!
xo
Glo, what a superb job!! I have so enjoyed jammin' to this music today!
I came on to say Animal Planet had Mei & Nat'l Zoo on--was at the time of Tian's birth, BUT it's over now. I got all reggaed readin' da rest of da blog & saw GLO's videos. JAMMIN' GOOD!!!!
Got steamed crabs waitin to pick-I be yummin
BBL
My 4 baby cardinals and a momma is out here! I so love watching the changes in them!
Right you are , Glo. And isn't it funny what can jog a really old memory???
Dat was sposed to be Tia's birth
Can't spell & didn't have rum!
Yes Magpie that one actually took a couple of hours to make.
Sharon and I have teamed up a few times. I knew she oculd record it and send it since I was at work on a dinosaur and just reading all your fun.
Magpie you recognized Vicky's Kiss picture lOL Good for you.
Oohhh, Nature has crabs! Yummy!
My RP is now down.
Yup - My RP down too PAULA, guess it shaked rattled and rolled itself into exhaustion today..
Bob Marley even recorded Hotel California, Reggae Remix! I love it!
NCTC keeps creating monsters for me! Having to listen to Reggae now!
Paula, Before I went crab pickin' saw your capture video...that is so great!!
Should email these to Steve!!!!
What talented birds we have!!!
HEDGIE AND GLO:
I was fortunate to have older brothers and sisters, so I gleaned a lot from their experiences and their music! But I am not TOO FAR BEHIND YOU GUYS! My brother was tickled to death when 'THE TWIST" came out. Me, my generation had the "Mashed Potato." Guess that's why I like them so much to this day!
xo
Hey Magpie I can do the Mashed Potato. Oh man I love Chubby Checker and the Twist...well I used to anyway LOL
Well, my internet explorer froze up, had to shut it down and now I can't get the cam from the NZ website, just through my windows media player.
My earliest memories of music were the Righteous Brothers, the Everly Brothers and the Carpenters. Donna turned me on to all 3 of those!
Heeeeeeeeeeey JUST VICKY!
Your birthday isn't over yet!
Dont ya' know: I think all that music at OUR nest was part of a birthday concert just for you !
I bet you were rockin' with your EAGLE CANE to the beat...
Hope you are having the BEST DAY of your life!
xo xo xo xo
Oh Sharon . All I have to do is Dream But I want the dream where I end up with a seat in the car, not walking.
Love the Righteous Brothers too
I am going to have to get me all kinds of music going now. Been listening to Bob Marley tonight. I forgot how much I love reggae!
Well, I am going to hit it pretty soon. This has been the best day and will be one of the TOP 5 day's on this blog since I came on here 2 years ago! FUN TIME!
Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feathers and fur! Rest well!
Been gone awhile, sorry ya'll musta been the rum!! So, who's got the smoke now?
I have the pandas up on the website Mits gave, just sleeping. Sure would love to witness the birth of a panda (wish I was a panda). Got my little baby Mattie tonight. We are going to stay with Tom's mom tomorrow. I am surely grateful for Mattie. She is just the greatest kid.
Well, where is everyone? Ya'll passed out?
Margy....not too far off! Twist was in '60 (I was 11) and the Mashed Potato was '62, so.....we're pretty close--like probably w/in a few years!!!!
Chubby Checker was on the Early Show last week...looks wonderful!
We had John Travolta and Saturday Night Fever. Now that is dancing.
Hey, Sissy...got to apologize for getting you Bluefield girls mixed up last night....I had Sharon as the panda instead of you. SHe recorded the panda show, so make sure you watch it!!!
Hedgie, I just finished watching that show. She got to hold a panda! I guess we are going to have to go to China! She was acting just like I know I would, just cuddling it up and rubbing it!
I will, I am going to see if it comes on again and tivo it myself. I love everything panda.
Wow, Hedgie, Closer than I thought!
xo That's Great! Just think how many presidents we can say are a part of our "heritage."
xo
It has been an hilarious day! Steve should make sure we have music everyday now that our little family isn't entertaining us!
Sharon, I just can't imagine how much fun it would be to cuddle one! What did she say she had to pay for the "behind the scenes" activity? And I thought it was so funny that she had to wear a gown and gloves and shoe covers, but NO hair cover or mask!!!
Oh, Margy...when I stop and think about all the history we have been alive for, it makes me feel so old!
Got it Tivo'd Lynn. I'll get to watch it tomorrow.
Well, good night all you beautiful people. Packing it in for the night. See you all in the morning light!!
Nite-nite Panda Sis! Sweet dreams.
Yea, Sissy, John and Saturday Night Fever w/ the Bee Gees!
BTW, you can go to China to help the pandas. Hope you like to scoop panda poop!
Gotta have SIL at Dr. at 9am, so heading for tub and bed! Hope everyone's night is as good as our day has been!
Ready to hit the sack
Play day tomorrow with 3yr old Alexis
Good Night Everyone
It has been a good blog day
Peace to you & yours
Prayers for all our needs being said
(((hugs)))
very unusual visuals at WildWatch Osrpey...looks like ice things in the water...
What Is It ?
Wow, my Panda Cams are back up and running...I and II
hOWDY, everyone.
Thanks, Magpie, for the report on Delta Dan. Sounds like a good plan for his future.
Bob, No.'s 1, 6 & 7, in any order.
I like most of them, but a couple could be indoor shots. #2: I like all the elements of the picture, but the total composition is too busy, and the window (great window) is looming right in the middle, where it shouldn't be. Maybe you could crop it to get a better focus on the main elements, though.
Just my opinion. [:~D]
So, how is everybody tonight?
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Good NIght folks. I can hardly wait to see or "hear' from the cam tomorrow.
Hi Jim. Have you been reading all day blog---the reggae version?? I couldn't hear the nest jammin' at work (no sound), but thx to Glo, Sharon & Paula, we've got video!!
Some have been naming their first/fave music artists. When I was a butter stick, folks radio played Frank Sinatra,Bing Crosby, Perry Como,Andrews Sisters.I think first real rock song I remember was "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley & the Comets. Think it was the theme song to movie Blackboard Jungle. One Easter, my cousin & I went to see it up in PA. Told folks & grandparents it was a special cartoon show, as I'm sure it was outlawed in the Catholic Standard!!!
Other first records we bought were Johnny Mathis, Richie Valens "Oh Donna" & then of course loved Pretenders, Flamigoes, Everly Bros., Righteous & all those that followed.Think last CD I bought was Celine Dionne.And that's enough of the Top 40! Gonna see TV...
To all those hitting the hay, Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>))
Howdy Jim -
Will be looking in the morning maybe for some Channel Island Updates from you?
NATURE NUT: A Butter Stick! That is hilarious!
Heading for the Feather Pillow..
Good Night to Everyone!
Big Blogging Day on Here Today.
Happy Birthday, one more time, VICKY!
xoxo Take Care, and Prayers
(PS I think Dustin has commandeered Wanda's computer...)
good evening fine eagle buddies-looks like lots and lots of action today with the music
sharon gave me a heads up on the bob marley-what a hoot :)
Good night all!
Good night paula-"see" ya in the morning light-don't let the bed bugs bite. Ofcourse we know you have some sort a special power keeping the ticks away so no bed bugs will bother you! :)
Yes, Magpie,
I will post a "bluie link" for the Island updates.
I was just reading Steffi's great Catalina Report, and earlier I read a N. Islands version by a new head of the operation there, Cedric Villasenor. I guess a couple of the earlier personnel moved on to positions in Canada.
Just scroll down to "Forum Topics" and you'll find both reports.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
CA Islands reports
Yes, Margy, Dustin has been on the computer off and on all day. With him not being able to spend any time outside and having to rest as much as possible, the computer is all he has to occupy himself. Today is the last day for his meds! WOOOHOOO!! I think I will ease him into his regular routine. Just a little sun and heat tomorrow and add more time as the days go by. He did get winded a bit and had a fast heart-beat the last time he walked up to the mailbox...I'll keep an eye on him.
I almost missed it-Happy Happy B-Day Vicky!!! Hope you had a great day.
Good nite all
Well, hey mon...the music is gone, the rum bottle is empty, the smoke and haze has cleared and nobody be jammin. Noting to do, so I be gone
to bed. Dun worry, be hoppy!
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS
GOOD NIGHT, EVERY EAGLE WATCHER.
i hope the Aussie sites start showing some action soon. I haven't seen one of them yet on the nest at Frodo's place ... just the pictures at the bottom.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim

HAVE A GREAT DAY T-BIRD, AND BUDDY ! I HOPE HE SAW THE BIG BIRD TOO !!
XOXO
when I clocked in it was about 5:30 and she wasn't there then
I think it was your inspiration. T-Bird, that brought him to the nest.
I couldn't tell whether He or She..
Well, now I can start my Friday on an "up" note.
...
Also, I checked the WHITE STORK nest site late last night...it was EMPTY! Last time I checked was several days ago and they were still there (last Thursday I think...) just checked again, still empty...they were fun!
Their site says they lifted off July 18 - - wow, I shoulda been checking more often...
On White Stork site, off to the left, you cam click on "news" and go from there...
I can hardly ever get the Black Stork site up...freezes things up most of the time for me...
So - T-Bird - somewhere between 0530 and 0554 T-Bird...hope that means the others will visit too today...
Gots to get ready for work now...
will be checking until I leave.
Good Thursday Everyone - ISS tonight, hope the skies are clear, will be sometime around 10:30 pm -"Very Bright" -
xo
I hate to break it to you Magpie but it is Thursday. :( Hope youu have a great Friday eve. LOL I've got to go get ready for my Thursday too. Catch ya later.
I hope to get some more visits too. Hope all you fine folk have a great day and maybe there will be some sound today too. :) I missed out on it.
Racoon and Doe/Buck party at PA Woods -
Yeah- T-Bird - I was so excited I couldn't think straight!
I guess it is only Thursday !
Wah !
I think we're gonna blog straight up to 400 "today" before the new thread!
xoxo
Off to Work
TTFN xo One Empty Nest....
Good morning everyone!!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
T-Bird and Margy got to see one of our Parents in the nest this morning. It must have been a brief visit. I hope those eagles give us some more music today. Amazing what a little bit of music generated in our group. Laughter about Reggae music, cocktails, smoke and haze, jammin eagles, etc. clean up til bedtime. We even had Bob jammin with us. Anybody reading this blog would think we were a bunch of party lovers, but we know that we are quiet and reserved. Have a good day, everyone.
