Lost my feed....if I "download" too much between 6am and 3am I get penalized by the Fair Access Threshold policy, and then I can't do hardly anything for 24 hrs. Argh!! So now I can't see Lun at all! Will check Loretta's blog and see if it will let me open that! And then will call it a night!! Early breakfast date in the morning w/ my Mr. Bill. Sleep tight, panda watchers!! God bless us everyone!!
Darn, I see all the good nights, but no it is later by an hour for you all. I wondered what happened today for so many posts, but I bet it is a baby cub!
Zoo officials report that the organization’s joy may even have a part two. The Zoo’s Animal Management and Veterinary Teams continue to monitor Lun Lun closely for a potential second birth. Twin births take place nearly 50 percent of the time in giant pandas, although twins may not necessarily arrive within moments or even hours of each other. A second cub could arrive as much as 12 to 24 hours after the first.
I had to download a program to view it on my Mac, but that is done and now I see a panda. No little cub in sight yet. I saw Loretta's pictures, though.
She sat for the longest time looking down at the Birth area and I could see movement there (I imagined I saw something coming out) She then, took her paw and swiped at that area as though picking up something and rolled over with her back to the camera and can't see a thing now. I guess we will know by morning if there is two.
Just now she had sat up w/back to camera, sort of looked like she was licking cub & then did a complete roll around w/ front paws covering anything/everything on her chest. What an acrobat!
Good morning, my friends of fine feather and fur! I just watched the video of the birth WITH SOUND! Wow. That baby was just squealing and squealing, Lun Lun picked it up and it immediately stopped. Mother Nature is so amazing!
Good morning everyone. We are back. Great trip. Too short. Catching up on the e-mails and blog. Great news about Atlanta. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO GENE.
I guess Atlanta has only one new cub. Lun sure looked like she was going to pop out another, but no word from the zoo. She has been balled up in a corner most of the morning. I doubt we will be able to see her little "Jewel" for a while.
Good Morning, Margy...sure is a strange looking bird. Kinda a combination of an osprey and an eagle. Looks like it got a wing stuck in an electrical outlet!
MITS - I can't access the pictures I "think" I am saving...can you save and send this to Suzanne? the Holy Guacamole bird, that is? Thanks. Now, on to the Panda things...
Dana I was wondering the same thing. Momma pandas don't like to be disturbed with a new cub and the keepers usually do not disturb them.From what I have seen of the cub I think its name should be Bubba. It looked bigger then any of the other cubs we have seen. Maybe it is my eyes. Off to food shop. BBL
Dang gone about the time the cub was born was when I couldn't stay at computer watching anymore. Laid down and fell asleep for night. Glad some of you got a glimpse at the cub.
I suppose this one in the nest now could be a juvenile....and I am just guessing it could be a Sea Eagle...beak looks like the ones at the Water Nest, Cleaver-style!
Wow just seen the video of the new cub born. Of course I couldn't zoom in. It looked larger and less tail than they mostly have. Shows the baby cub a good while moving and squealing around there.
Yeah, that is a spiffy little video, watched the birth of Mei Lan and the tot squiggled on the ground the same way and for about the same amount of time as this one. Nice Work, Lun Lun...
Nice Going Mema, for announcing the birth, I bet you just about fell over when it happened...
Margy - almost fell out of my chair! I was calculating how much longer we would need to wait for the birth.. thinking it was ok to go on to bed & pick up on it in the morning! One glance away and then back to a cub squirming all over the place. I just watched the video and how about that loud squealing!! Mits and Ceil had watched Tai as a cub and mentioned about the loudness of him and Mei. Yes! this is perfect timing for a cub to be born with our eagles fledging.
LIFE IS GOOD!!----They have the camera on LUN LUN & LITTLE LUN!!!-----She was still cleaning her---now she is curled up in a ball like she did with BUTA BUTA!!!---- WHAT A WONDERFUL SIGHT!!!----REJOICE!----(pray my puter stays up!)
NORMA Life is wonderful. On the panda page click on the Panda Updates..... then click on the small pic of LunLun in her birthing den for the video.....
all on one line video says "giant panda birth 2008"
or you can go to the Atlanta cam page where we watch Lun Lun and go to the right in red it say "Video of Mei and Lun Lun" the birth on is the top one Anne.
LunLun is sitting upright - Cub is lying between her legs and she has her paws out around the cub - Her head is down over the cub but if you keep watching when she moves we may be able to get a glimpse of the little naked cub! Well! Rolly Polly again! no sighting.........
Is anyone else having problems getting on the blog???---It has taken me all this time to get back on-----
SUCH FUN TO WATCH LUN LUN--(should say her back)!!!---She --so far--has done exactly like she did with BEAUTIFUL BUTA BUTA!!!---POOR TAI!!----His cousin is going to get less attention --for a little while---ho!----'LITTLE PRINCE TAI'!---You are still TOPS!!---"Little IMP is sleeping in his rock cave!!!!
HELLO ANNE MARIE!!----COOL!!!!!Looking forward to seeing you!!---SHEPHERDSTOWN---is blessed with good restaurants----"THE RUMSEY TAVERN" (where we eat dinner) is in the CLARION HOTEL in Shepherdstown!!-----'YELLOW BRICK BANK' is a great restaurant too!!
I am delighted to be back!!---Still problems---(i signed on for ERROR SMART)--supposed to make me not freeze up & to be very fast!!-----Every time -- I want to type--It comes on & is doing good things--(so they say)---but I can't get it off!!---Anyone heard of ERROR SMART?----
HEY KIDS------I have NORTON too!------Isn't that a virus/spyware program?---help me?----Puter is better today---but I have begun to think I need a new one!!
MORNIN' LOLLY!---I had to come through the back door to get on too!!!
Norma - I sent you an email about the Error Smart program. I didn't know much about it but if you don't want it to run any longer - go ahead and delete it. Your Norton is what takes care of virus scans.
I am remembering that as the cub grows how we watched and cheered the very first time Butta Buta made it out of the bed over that edge onto the den's floor.......... lol
Dana - Yes it is....has seafood also as I recall...
The Press Room 129 W. German St. 304-876-8777 Our newest restaurant, opened by the former chef of the Yellow Brick Bank, Mike Luksa. Open for dinner with pastas and American cuisine served with an Italian flair. Full bar. Advance reservations (a week or more) are recommended. Closed Tuesdays.
Yep I found all that out but couldn't find a menu. So I was guessing from what I had heard maybe Itilian...did read a comment about Oysters on the half shell too.
Back from church. Just watched the birth video. WOW! This is going to be so interesting to watch.
Going to Laurel's today. Have not seen my boys for a week. Miss them! Jack has some drawers to install in the bookcase he built for them, also taking a tree to plant. He has his work cut out for him. I'll enjoy the boys!
Think I am still on vacation. Neighbor just gave us steamed crabs. Watched the video. So funny with panda Moms. They look at that screaming little thing and seem afraid of it. Glad they are keeping the cam on. Have to look in on my Tai. Have not had time to look at him.
Sorry Paula, they are gone already. Ate them for lunch as soon as he gave them to us. Wish we could do a crab feast for open house. Going to make our reservations today for open house.
Jim, Wanda posted a link at 8:30 AM.(Copy & Paste) It takes you to the Atlanta Panda videos page w/top thumbnail showing the birth. At top border of page are links-one to the Live Panda Cam.
Here are a couple of pics from early today in Brisbane showing Frieda on the nest ledge; and if you look farther down there are a few of Frodo yesterday.
REGARDING HOTELS: In Martinsburg, there is a Holiday Inn, a Hampton Inn, Comfort Inn, and like Paula mentioned, Comfort SUITES on Rt 9/Charles Town Rd not far from Kearneysville, all of these would be within 30 minutes or less drive to Shepherdstown. The week-end of the 18th is probably, Apple Harvest Week-end in Martinsburg, which might account for some of the problems wth availability. Also there are some Bed and Breakfasts....Charles Town will also have some hotels, again, within 30 mins or less of Shepherdstown.
Howdy Everyone ! Up from Panda Nap ! Perfectly beautiful day in the Eastern Panhandle !
Jim, see you got the address. I didn't know if you were still on here, so sent it email too. FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY I was able to access this site from front page! Still cam comes up, but is still stuck.
I just noticed that there is a Photo Gallery just below the cam pic on Frodo's site. They have maybe 33 pics from the last month or so in the gallery now.
Hi Eagle and Panda lovers!! Been all day trying to get on...if not Hughes messing me up, then it's FWS!!!! Due to Hughes punishment, still can't open any cam action. Haven't been able to do much w/ mail, either!! Oh well...it is what it is! All the talk about restaurants and hotels is sure making me itchy for Oct. 18th!! There is also the big new hotel at the racetrack in CharlesTown! And I think they have a new Quality Inn, too. Yep, Apple Harvest Festival would cause the bookings!! Crab, lobster...mmmmm good! Hungry again, even tho' I just ate! Got my Charles Chips this am...when I got the munchies this afternoon and opened the can got a whiff of rancid oil...expiration date on inner bag was May!!! SO disappointed...now have to make a trip back to Cracker Barrell to exchange.
I think that last Oct Open House weekend was not only the Apple Harvest Festival but Home Coming at Shepherd U. I haven't googled the college but I will.
I will be contacting Clarion this week to set up the 5:00 dinner for our group.
Bummer Hedgie - Hate when that happens. Treated myself to a box of Russell Stover dark chocolate candy once, same thing happened....chocolates were chalky looking, it had an expired date!
I have been enjoying the Hydrox...if you go to Martins, they are not in the regular cookie aisle so save yourself some time...they were near the end of one aisle, the "meat side end" as opposed to the cashier end....about one aisle or two further into the store from the cookie aisle...
lol I was watching LunLun and I was thinking that the cub was in front of her between her paws but as usual her head was down and in the way for me to really see anything - as I stared at that area - The flashlight turned on and my first thought was that Oh there's the Cub and he is all aglow!
Jo - I just checked the update, and Mason has been moved to another room, sort of a "Step Down" room, still acute care, but a "step up" going to a "Step Down" unit...they will be posting photos of the Family tattoos soon..everyone got Scorpions on Friday, Sylvia's birthday (Mason's mother) -
Dana just received a call from Nilla (Janet Kolb)of Martinsburg and was informed that Nilla's daughter is in LA. She was packed up and trying to leave but cannot get out.I know we are all praying that this storm does not do the destruction that Katrina did 3 yrs ago. Please add personal prayer for Nilla's Daughter's Safety!
Just got home from Butterfly Mama's surprise birthday party. She was REALLY surprised. It was quite a feat, but we pulled it off. Seems I have a lot of catching up to do. BBILW
Pics, please, Wanda, of Butterfly Mama's surprise!!! Where in LA is Nilla's daughter, Dana? Prayers, of course, for her and all. Margy, you had a little excitement this am around 6:30, didn't you? Hope the rest of the night had been quiet, and that tonight will be, too!
Yes Hedgie we did....those GPS coordinates on cell phones have been coming in quite handy here lately....glad the lady decided to turn around and head back to Hedgesville.....but we were tracking her phone just about all the way...
Good Safe Evening to all, and pull out your STRONGEST PRAYERS for those in the path of Hurricane Gustav.
Each time I go back to spot check Lun Lun & her cub she has moved to another position! If you would be watching her constantly you probably would have seen a glimpse of the cub by now.
Hey everyone, got enough signal to jump on for a minute, not much though. Can you believe, of all time's for her to have that baby, I am at the lake. But I get to download the video and watch the birth. Have ya'll seen the baby today?
Prayers for Nilla's daughter. They say this storm is a monster!

Wake up Mason! There is a new

How are you all doing??
Sure sounds like a lot of excitement with the new baby Panda!!
And I found a new entry in the Panda blog at SD. The bluie link is below.
C(°ﮡ°)D
Jim
Panda blog
Hopefully we will soon see better, but put 2 pics of "part" of panda baby on blog.
Now we won't have to stay up all night or move a lounge chair in front of the computer!!
Hi Jim, Neat info! When is the SD baby's 1st birthday again?
Since we're short on eagles to watch, this HAS been exciting!
Gonna get dessert. BBL
I think Lun Lun is in love with her new baby. Looks like she is going to be a good Mom.
OK Jim and Loretta, we are going to have a lot of fun watching this little ball of nothing grow up, just as we did ZZ.
She is just all curled up around it! Seems they dimmed the light--rightfully so.
I think Zhen zhen's birthday was a month or 2 ago. Jim would know.
Awww, looks like she is taking a little panda nap now...
Lost my feed....if I "download" too much between 6am and 3am I get penalized by the Fair Access Threshold policy, and then I can't do hardly anything for 24 hrs. Argh!! So now I can't see Lun at all! Will check Loretta's blog and see if it will let me open that! And then will call it a night!! Early breakfast date in the morning w/ my Mr. Bill. Sleep tight, panda watchers!! God bless us everyone!!
Darn, I see all the good nights, but no it is later by an hour for you all. I wondered what happened today for so many posts, but I bet it is a baby cub!
Lun Lun is hiding the baby,Deb...but we know it's there somewhere. It was seen only for a few moments.
I had to get the cam on Internet Explorer.
from the Panda cam news release
Zoo officials report that the organization’s joy may even have a part two. The Zoo’s Animal Management and Veterinary Teams continue to monitor Lun Lun closely for a potential second birth. Twin births take place nearly 50 percent of the time in giant pandas, although twins may not necessarily arrive within moments or even hours of each other.

Ok, Wanda, thanks for the information. I will get the link in a minute. I am on a mac, so no IE for me.
Sea eagles at Finny on the water!
Looks like she is nursing Cubby at present
I had to download a program to view it on my Mac, but that is done and now I see a panda. No little cub in sight yet. I saw Loretta's pictures, though.
Gnite Deb and Wanda and Hedgie
And nite to Mits and Jo I missed earlier.
And nite Jim and Nature!
I think Lun Lun just gave birth to a second baby! I will keep watching to make sure.
Night Paula...thx for info. I don't think I can watch for another 12 hours for a twin!! LOL
OMG, Wanda! I wasn't watching cam for a few. Did you see any suspicious movement?
She sat for the longest time looking down at the Birth area and I could see movement there (I imagined I saw something coming out) She then, took her paw and swiped at that area as though picking up something and rolled over with her back to the camera and can't see a thing now. I guess we will know by morning if there is two.
Just now she had sat up w/back to camera, sort of looked like she was licking cub & then did a complete roll around w/ front paws covering anything/everything on her chest. What an acrobat!
They just put a flashlight on her chest for a sec.
Maybe they suspect there may be another cub.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS FOR ALL....THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WAITING FOR YOU TO OPEN YOUR EYS, MASON...DON'T LET THEM DOWN.
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE...
sLEEP well, enjoy the rest of the long weekend.

Dumb blogger----chopped off last letter which is m
Good morning, my friends of fine feather and fur! I just watched the video of the birth WITH SOUND! Wow. That baby was just squealing and squealing, Lun Lun picked it up and it immediately stopped. Mother Nature is so amazing!
And I was watching at the moment of birth, just didn't know it until she moved@
The video is a MUST SEE! And don't forget to turn your volumn on.
Good morning everyone. We are back. Great trip. Too short. Catching up on the e-mails and blog. Great news about Atlanta. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO GENE.
Good Morning Sharon. I can't remember if Sissy was watching, I sure hope she was (Our Panda Wantabe).
VIDEO:
http://www.zooatlanta.org/animals_videos.htm
Good Morning, Ceil...
Good to have you back! We want to hear all about your trip.
Sorry, that link won't take you to the Video. Just go to Atlanta Zoo page and click on the video of new cub.(as Loretta suggested)
Having problems getting on the blog.BBl
GOOD SUNDAY A.M....HAVE A GOOD ONE
I guess Atlanta has only one new cub. Lun sure looked like she was going to pop out another, but no word from the zoo. She has been balled up in a corner most of the morning. I doubt we will be able to see her little "Jewel" for a while.
the boat by the sea eagles nest has left.
Don't you wonder what they were doing there?
there is a large bird at the Finney's nest - not the water nest, the other one, looks like a sea eagle ...
Good Morning Everyone..gonna read and watch the Baby Panda info soon..
holy guacamole...that is a big bird
Good Morning, Margy...sure is a strange looking bird. Kinda a combination of an osprey and an eagle. Looks like it got a wing stuck in an electrical outlet!
I think the boat found a nice quiet little nook, and spent the weekend....funny we all know about it....wonder if they ever felt eyes watching them?
maybe a juvie sea eagle or a golden?....off to church, later:)
Maybe they were watching us! LOL
lol......maybe you are correct:):):!!!!!
Gotta go...BBL
Morning, all!
Lun in the corned with new cubby. Where did all the bedding come from?
MITS - I can't access the pictures I "think" I am saving...can you save and send this to Suzanne?
the Holy Guacamole bird, that is?
Thanks.
Now, on to the Panda things...
xo
Good morning Friends ( : and new panda cub. Contragulations Atlanta and Lun Lun...
When did they bring in the straw?
I just did, Margy, and you should have one too:)...gotta go.
Margy I had a dog once that it's hair looked like that lol
Good morning, everyone. Margy, I got a picture of the holy guacamole bird to send out.
Dana I was wondering the same thing. Momma pandas don't like to be disturbed with a new cub and the keepers usually do not disturb them.From what I have seen of the cub I think its name should be Bubba. It looked bigger then any of the other cubs we have seen. Maybe it is my eyes. Off to food shop. BBL
The Colors are Beautiful, Dana...musta been a pretty dog...sometimes I think MY HAIR looks like that...
xo Thanks Mits ! Got It!
Where there's one, there could be TWO if it is like the Water Nest...
Dang gone about the time the cub was born was when I couldn't stay at computer watching anymore. Laid down and fell asleep for night. Glad some of you got a glimpse at the cub.
I suppose this one in the nest now could be a juvenile....and I am just guessing it could be a Sea Eagle...beak looks like the ones at the Water Nest, Cleaver-style!
I slept through the whole thing, too, Dana, and I'm headed to the Cam page now to check things out.
Happy Panda Motherhood Day to Everyone!
xo
My dog stood proud like that bird is. Looking at us and thinking "What are you all looking at?"...lol still a cutie
Wow just seen the video of the new cub born. Of course I couldn't zoom in. It looked larger and less tail than they mostly have. Shows the baby cub a good while moving and squealing around there.
Good New Panda Day Morning
Bobbi - that little cub was a great b-day present for your special day! Ceil, maybe that name should be Bobba! lol
Going over to watch the video to see again what I witnessed last night.
Yeah, that is a spiffy little video, watched the birth of Mei Lan and the tot squiggled on the ground the same way and for about the same amount of time as this one.
Nice Work, Lun Lun...
Nice Going Mema, for announcing the birth, I bet you just about fell over when it happened...
xo xo
Can't get OUR nest main page up, won't know if we are getting a Cyber-Reboot 'cause I can't get to that page.
Just like a few days ago, glad I kept the Blog up...
Some people watch TV before they go to bed, I'm watching Pandas and Birds...should make for some good Dreams..
If this cub is chubbier and shorter tail. Which I'm not sure of course cause I couldn't zoom in. Maybe it is a boy.
Same here, Mapgie. Can't even get our cam page to load...maybe they are working on it??
One osprey at CT eating
Margy - almost fell out of my chair!
I was calculating how much longer we would need to wait for the birth..
thinking it was ok to go on to bed & pick up on it in the morning!
One glance away and then back to a cub squirming all over the place. I just watched the video and how about that loud squealing!! Mits and Ceil had watched Tai as a cub and mentioned about the loudness of him and Mei.
Yes! this is perfect timing for a cub to be born with our eagles fledging.
Wow, just watched the panda birth video! Just plopped that baby right on the floor!
Sea Eagle in Finny Land Nest
Osprey in CT looks like an adult -
probably the dad who migrates last
Thanks Jo, he's beautful!
Looks breezy there....head feathers getting blow around
Lun Lun is awake. Licking away.
Then Rolly Polly over and out!
She hasn't changed her habits since Buta Buta was born! It is really

never have heard of it Norma
Morning again...well make that afternoon to Anne, Norma, Nature and Lolly!
Nature - I do have all the direct links on my www.eagletmomsters.com links page...it is what I use everyday!
Loved the sea eagle at Finny's
Norma - you may want to run a virus/spyware program...
Anne - lots of great places to eat in Shepherdstown...I'll send you a link...Blue Moon cafe...and there's another one I went to.
Still can't get the cam page up...
HEY KIDS------I have NORTON too!------Isn't that a virus/spyware program?---help me?----Puter is better today---but I have begun to think I need a new one!!
MORNIN' LOLLY!---I had to come through the back door to get on too!!!
LUN LUN'S birth has been ANNOUNCED on the CNN'S BOTTOM MESSAGES!!!
OK, Norma, I misread your post about error smart...thought you had an issue...and yes, Norton is good...do you have the version w/ spyware?
Oh neat Comfort Inn right there on 45 not far from 4 way stop ....greatttt ( :
Paula I'm sending Anne information on Betty Resturant and the hours in Shepherdstown. A lot of our church people liked that resturant too.
The Press Room is a new restaurant in Stown...was very good...I sent Anne the link for that too.
Norma - it seems you should run Error Smart, then change the settings so it is not constantly running....
Norma - I sent you an email about the Error Smart program. I didn't know much about it but if you don't want it to run any longer - go ahead and delete it. Your Norton is what takes care of virus scans.
College Kid just left to go back to school, (sniff, sniff). Gonna miss him!
Paula I found a site that has all the resturants in Shepherdstown with phone #'s and maps to each one. Sent that to Anne.
I got off the phone with her a little bit ago. She and Brandon are driving to the State Fair. Boy is he going to have a great time!!! ( :
She said she is bringing her brother in Oct.
Lun Lun is sitting on the very edge -
I am remembering that as the cub grows how we watched and cheered the very first time Butta Buta made it out of the bed over that edge onto the den's floor.......... lol
Osprey on the cam at CT
Paula is the Press Room Italian?
sea eagles back at FINLAND OSPREY NEST
Dana - Yes it is....has seafood also as I recall...
The Press Room 129 W. German St. 304-876-8777
Our newest restaurant, opened by the former chef of the Yellow Brick Bank, Mike Luksa. Open for dinner with pastas and American cuisine served with an Italian flair. Full bar. Advance reservations (a week or more) are recommended. Closed Tuesdays.
I went there without reservations, though. Sat at the bar and ate....was a weeknight.
Yep I found all that out but couldn't find a menu. So I was guessing from what I had heard maybe Itilian...did read a comment about Oysters on the half shell too.
There's 2 sea eagles at the Finny water nest now
Back from church. Just watched the birth video. WOW! This is going to be so interesting to watch.
Going to Laurel's today. Have not seen my boys for a week. Miss them! Jack has some drawers to install in the bookcase he built for them, also taking a tree to plant. He has his work cut out for him. I'll enjoy the boys!
Think I am still on vacation. Neighbor just gave us steamed crabs. Watched the video. So funny with panda Moms. They look at that screaming little thing and seem afraid of it. Glad they are keeping the cam on. Have to look in on my Tai. Have not had time to look at him.
Welcome back, Ceil!!
Need any help eating those crabs? :)
Have fun, Lolly!
Sea eagles are gone now...nighty nite time I guess!
Going to eat at Red Lobster...never been there....Always got my lobster tail at Outback...
Ceil I was trying to find the video of when Tai was born. If you find it let me know where ty anyone....
Talk with you later, Lolly - enjoy :)
Wow! Ceil - did you have lobster up North on your trip?
It is time for me to consider a
panda nap --- lol!!!
Dana - you should love Red Lobster - enjoy! All this talk about restaurants made you hungry!
Paula - MT NEST at your house for a while!
Sorry Paula, they are gone already. Ate them for lunch as soon as he gave them to us. Wish we could do a crab feast for open house. Going to make our reservations today for open house.
Paula, I must say that it seems like only yesterday that you were setting him up in his college room! Time really passes by us too quickly!
Ceil - If you can't get the Clarion go for the Comfort Inn right in Shepherdstown...........
A panda nap is coming on
BBL
Jo, Ate lots of lobster, lobster roll, lobster ravioli, clams, oysters. Great food. Great time.
Paula, I know the feeling. Miss son when he goes back to the West Coast. Feel better now that he has Jennifer.
Ceil make your reservations soon because for some reason the Clairton is all full....Like Jo said call the Comfort Inn in Shepherdstown.
Both the Clarion and the Comfort Inn are booked for the 18th.
GOOD MORNING (STILL IN SO CAL) TO EVERYONE IN EAGLE LAND.
i'M not as late as it looks, but I did have a nice long sleep ... always good on a long weekend.
Can't open the camera feed through beakspeak today ... what else is happening??
I don't think I have the link to the new Panda, so can somebody give it to me??
Thanks. Enjoy a great Sunday and Labor Day weekend.
[:~D]
Jim
On no Ceil......lets see thinking
Ceil - sounds yummy, love lobster. Wish I was lunching with Dana!
We are going to try to do some crabs while Anne is here!
I haven't had crabs all summer, either, but am going to an all you can eat crab feed in 2 weeks! Can't wait!
There is also Bavarian Inn and Thomas Shepherd Inn
There is also a Comfort Inn in Harper's Ferry
Ceil, sending you an email
Ceil the Bavarian is right there just past Sandra's 1-304-876-2551. Don't know the cost of rooms though.
Hmmm don't see the comfort inn at Harper's Ferry...
It's still there...Comfort Inn and a Quality Hotel in Harpers Ferry
Paula there is a Comfor Inn on Rt 9 and Short Rd. 1-304-263-8888. I'll use map to see how close to Shepherdstown.
Have stayed at the Bavarian Inn before. Thanks Dana forgot about it.
OK...heading outside for awhile! BBL
Comfort Inn in Harpers Ferry takes 18 minutes drive to Shepherdstown
later gators ( :
BTW, all the FWS sites are down...
Jim, Wanda posted a link at 8:30 AM.(Copy & Paste) It takes you to the Atlanta Panda videos page w/top thumbnail showing the birth.
At top border of page are links-one to the Live Panda Cam.
Hi, I finally viewed the Panda birth, which was rather amazing...and loud.
But when I switched to the Panda cam now, I can find no sound. Am I missing something??
[:~)]
Jim
Jim, The Atlanta cam does not have sound.
Atlanta cam DOES NOT hve sound
Here are a couple of pics from early today in Brisbane showing Frieda on the nest ledge; and if you look farther down there are a few of Frodo yesterday.
Maybe they'll get it together early next month.

Jim
Frieda
REGARDING HOTELS: In Martinsburg, there is a Holiday Inn, a Hampton Inn, Comfort Inn, and like Paula mentioned, Comfort SUITES on Rt 9/Charles Town Rd not far from Kearneysville, all of these would be within 30 minutes or less drive to Shepherdstown. The week-end of the 18th is probably, Apple Harvest Week-end in Martinsburg, which might account for some of the problems wth availability. Also there are some Bed and Breakfasts....Charles Town will also have some hotels, again, within 30 mins or less of Shepherdstown.
Howdy Everyone ! Up from Panda Nap ! Perfectly beautiful day in the Eastern Panhandle !
xo
Jim, see you got the address. I didn't know if you were still on here, so sent it email too.
FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY I was able to access this site from front page! Still cam comes up, but is still stuck.
I put up a Yahoo email to the Eaglet Momsters (and Dadsters)with some motel/hotel information.
xo
BBL...off to a BBQ
I just noticed that there is a Photo Gallery just below the cam pic on Frodo's site. They have maybe 33 pics from the last month or so in the gallery now.

Jim
I'm back on line..... Catching up emails and have read these comments.
We may be doomed to have this thread all weekend... We can make it!
Not much happening at the Channel Islands now; but they did capture a video of a snake on the Seal Rock

Jim
You've got to see Bai and ZZ playing and rasslin up one of their trees....

Hi Eagle and Panda lovers!! Been all day trying to get on...if not Hughes messing me up, then it's FWS!!!! Due to Hughes punishment, still can't open any cam action. Haven't been able to do much w/ mail, either!! Oh well...it is what it is!
All the talk about restaurants and hotels is sure making me itchy for Oct. 18th!! There is also the big new hotel at the racetrack in CharlesTown! And I think they have a new Quality Inn, too. Yep, Apple Harvest Festival would cause the bookings!!
Crab, lobster...mmmmm good! Hungry again, even tho' I just ate!
Got my Charles Chips this am...when I got the munchies this afternoon and opened the can got a whiff of rancid oil...expiration date on inner bag was May!!! SO disappointed...now have to make a trip back to Cracker Barrell to exchange.
I think that last Oct Open House weekend was not only the Apple Harvest Festival but Home Coming at Shepherd U. I haven't googled the college but I will.
I will be contacting Clarion this week to set up the 5:00 dinner for our group.
Bummer Hedgie - Hate when that happens. Treated myself to a box of Russell Stover dark chocolate candy once, same thing happened....chocolates were chalky looking, it had an expired date!
I have been enjoying the Hydrox...if you go to Martins, they are not in the regular cookie aisle so save yourself some time...they were near the end of one aisle, the "meat side end" as opposed to the cashier end....about one aisle or two further into the store from the cookie aisle...
xoxo
I'm thinking maybe AtlantaPandaBaby is nursing...?
Can't really tell what I am seeing...
But I know this: Lun Lun is one beautiful attentive Momma Bear...xoxo
which is closer to Shepherdstown, Martinsburg or Charles Town?
lol I was watching LunLun and I was thinking that the cub was in front of her between her paws but as usual her head was down and in the way for me to really see anything - as I stared at that area - The flashlight turned on and my first thought was that Oh there's the Cub and he is all aglow!
Don't forget about Hagerstown or Frederick area as far as distance from Shepherdstown.......
MITS - It's about the same....
(in my opinion...)
I suppose Charles Town could be a little closer, main roads to it include Route 340 - whereas main roads to Martinsburg would include I-81 -
I googled Shepherd U calendar & this is another reason for Shepherdstown being busy!!
Oct 18, 2008
Football WV WESLEYAN * (Homecoming) 1:00 PM
Hagerstown is a good idea, MEMA!
You can cut over through Sharpsburg, the drive would be beautiful !
And from Frederick, straight over on Rte 340 - or you could do the route which Paula took the other day going home
Woof! Homecoming, that will make a big difference !!
Why don't we all just find a campsite and pitch tents !!!
We could do up s'mores in the evening by the campfire !!
** ISS in the morning **
between 5:03 and 5:05 am:
from the North/Northwest,
Max elevation 28-degrees...that's low, but it should be pretty bright.
Venus tonight: Look West, South west - brightest thing you will see in dusk after sunset...and of course we have Jupiter in the South South East.....
Moon dark, will be back out in another evening too, delicate crescent in the West.....
and I have a Carolina Wren chirping in the neighborhood. Sweeeet !
xoxox
We can try to rent out the barn on the NCTC site and pitch our tents right there around the Sycamore Nest Tree
WHOO HOO!
Caring Bridge just announced update on Mason.... I was just over there & was disappointed at there being NO
update....
Update Mason
Getting Dark - only 4 Candles
Jo - I just checked the update, and Mason has been moved to another room, sort of a "Step Down" room, still acute care, but a "step up" going to a "Step Down" unit...they will be posting photos of the Family tattoos soon..everyone got Scorpions on Friday, Sylvia's birthday (Mason's mother) -
Back in a bit, going to look for Venus.....xoxo
Prayers needed
Dana just received a call from Nilla (Janet Kolb)of Martinsburg and was informed that Nilla's daughter is in LA. She was packed up and trying to leave but cannot get out.I know we are all praying that this storm does not do the destruction that Katrina did 3 yrs ago. Please add personal prayer for Nilla's Daughter's Safety!
Prayers on the Wing for Nilla's daughter, and all those affected by this ferocious storm...
Prayers for all who will be affected by this hurricane
Just got home from Butterfly Mama's surprise birthday party. She was REALLY surprised. It was quite a feat, but we pulled it off.
Seems I have a lot of catching up to do. BBILW
Pics, please, Wanda, of Butterfly Mama's surprise!!!
Where in LA is Nilla's daughter, Dana? Prayers, of course, for her and all.
Margy, you had a little excitement this am around 6:30, didn't you? Hope the rest of the night had been quiet, and that tonight will be, too!
Yes Hedgie we did....those GPS coordinates on cell phones have been coming in quite handy here lately....glad the lady decided to turn around and head back to Hedgesville.....but we were tracking her phone just about all the way...
Good Safe Evening to all, and pull out your STRONGEST PRAYERS for those in the path of Hurricane Gustav.
Thanks for the pictures, Wanda!
Makes you feel so good when you know you've made someone else so happy!
Margie - hope your shift goes well!
TTFN (Got it!)
Each time I go back to spot check Lun Lun & her cub she has moved to another position! If you would be watching her constantly you probably would have seen a glimpse of the cub by now.
Wildwatch Osprey - 2 of them are at the nest.
Hey everyone, got enough signal to jump on for a minute, not much though. Can you believe, of all time's for her to have that baby, I am at the lake. But I get to download the video and watch the birth. Have ya'll seen the baby today?
Prayers for Nilla's daughter. They say this storm is a monster!
WAKE UP MASON!! It is a new panda baby!
New Picture gallery format on Frodocam site. I wish they could put it into Slide Show - now you need to click to forward.
May need to suggest that.....
It is better then last year's format.
Lun must be waiting for People magazine for the exclusive photos....I think I have seen a foot today...
we will be splitting soon....so GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!
Aw, Karla looks so sweet!! Can tell she was really moved!
Hi There Sissy! Darn inconsiderate of Lun Lun by not waiting for her most interested person to be there at the birth of this new cub!
Naturenut - Loretta got 2 pics right after the birth. I think that is the tail you are able to see...
