Morning Mits and All...

Hope it's a good day for all.
We had a nice early morning rain here in Martinsburg, clearing up nice now...

I think the Finnish breezes have carried the baby feathers across the countryside...one chick seemed to post as a sentry for hours, now another in the nest, doing nestorations.

Off to work soon....Take Care all...

Good Wednesday morning to all; t-bird, Maggie and Helen! Darn, I missed the eagles again this morning in our nest. I got up around 6:30; Too late, but at least t-bird saw them and Maggie for a short time. What a wonderful way to start the day.

carolinabeachmom said...

Helen, I been peeking in from time to time to see how things are going with Mei. Still hoping for good news.

magpie said...

PAULA - PICTURE/EMAIL FINALLY CAME THROUGH THIS MORNING, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

MITS: IF IT'S ANY CONSOLATION, MY COMPUTER IS A SNAIL THESE DAYS!

XO

MITS said...

Candy, I was really optimistic last night, not so much this morning:(

MITS said...

not running like a snail, Magpie, just having connection problems, and don't have time to investigate

magpie said...

MEGAN:

Martinsburg Journal has a story about Mason Ellsworth this morning, Panhandle Section...

carolinabeachmom said...

Helen, glad to see you made it back from the beach in one piece yesterday. Traffic has been horrible down here all summer. Like you said, no one seems to be worrying about the gas prices. I only go out when I have to.

carolinabeachmom said...

The poor Hobbie chick is all alaone in the nest this morning. Looks like he/she slept all night on what was left of her sibbling. I watched yesterday and it was sad to see her/him; didn't seem to know what to do. Just the day before, they were both roughhousing and having a grand time.

carolinabeachmom said...

Finney's nest brought another sad sight yesterday. Hopefully the suffering is over for that poor bird. Juvie just took off from the nest and it is now MT.Probably looking for the missing one.

MITS said...

Beach has been crowded, but Coastal Highway, is an 8 lane dual highway, so I go out whenever I want, drove up to Lewes, Delaware the other day for lunch, once you get into Delaware it goes down to a 4 lane dual highway, but it was still doable.

carolinabeachmom said...

Helen, did Mei just have her baby or does she poop out from under her tail?

MITS said...

she just pooped....

carolinabeachmom said...

You must think I am nuts, but she got up on this rock, splayed out with her back end off the rock and then dropped probably poop, now that I don't see anyone running to look. She just climbed up to the top of the rocks and is looking down.

carolinabeachmom said...

Giggle, giggle Helen. That was the first Panda Poop I have seen. :)

MITS said...

that is how she likes to go to the bathroom

MITS said...

Congrats, Candy:):)

carolinabeachmom said...

Helen, you must be a brave soul to drive in all those lanes, but I bet you can go wherever like you said faster.

MITS said...

I have a system...when going North, use right lane, when coming South use left lane, and I have some back roads I know about.

carolinabeachmom said...

Helen, did I read on here where you have to go to the zoo today? If so, keep plenty of fluids in you. It is predicting that down here we will be around 97 this afternoon. Thank the good Lord for air conditioning.

MITS said...

yes, am off to the zoo today for my afternoon shift and monthly meeting tonight, and I will stay hydrated

carolinabeachmom said...

Hope you get some good news while you are there about a new Panda babie. :)

MITS said...

well time is running out for a new cub to come:(

MITS said...

off to get some coffee, been up since 6, and now want to go back to sleep, but don't dare

carolinabeachmom said...

I guess I'll do the same, Helen. You have a nice day on the Asian Trail.

ceil said...

Good morning everyone. Thought Mei was going to have a little one last night. She was very restless. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBYN. I am running really late so everyone have a great day. Where is our Norma? Thought her guests had left.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning everyone. Happy Birthday Robyn. I see I missed the eagles this morning!! In Falls Mills at my m-i-l. She had 2 baby deer and a mommy in her yard when we got here this morning. That was a treat. Ya'll pray for her. She is not doing very well again, gonna see today about maybe getting her in a rehab hospital or something.

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all. Glad we had a visitor this morning!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
After sitting at that bar for so long yesterday, I should have a hangover! LOL
Bless Margy's heart, she was ready to come and get me. I hope everyone knew I was just kidding. I do that every now and then.

I was shocked to see no babes in the Finland nest last night. Either a predator got the wounded bird or someone climbed up and took him out. Either way, he is no longer ON HIS OWN. From the looks of all that white down in the nest, I would say he is no longer suffering. We have certainly had a lot of sadness this year, but then, our Mountaineers have given us more joy than I ever thought I could have from a bird. THANK YOU LIB AND BELL.

Costume Lady said...

I keep looking for someone to wake up and come on here with me, but you all must be enjoying the beautiful morning outside. I was out for a while, and it is so fresh from the rain and my garden is squeeking "thank you"..."thank you". We are being rewarded for our efforts with some beautiful tomatoes, beans and peppers. Squash is not doing well. We've been getting our squash from my Mom's. Her soil is wonderful. Everything she grows tastes much better than those grown in our soil.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am here Wanda. Just working and watching!

Costume Lady said...

Hello, Steve. Where are you this morning? I need someone to talk to.
My grandson finally left and I have my 'puter back and no one to talk to. I hope you all are not mad at me for the PRANK that I pulled yesterday!!

Costume Lady said...

BLESS YOU SHARON!...I was begining to think that I was on the wrong thread or something. Did you get to see a Mountaineer this morning?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

No Wanda I didn't but Thelma told me about it when I got up! She was so excited!

Costume Lady said...

Do you remember when the last set of Juvies stopped coming to the nest? I miss seeing all three of them together so much. It's is hard to believe that three babes from the same parents can have such different personalities. Were they so different than last nestlings?

Costume Lady said...

I'm so glad Thelma decided to join us on here. She is our morning wake up caller, along with Margy. She and Margy are two great addition to our family!

Costume Lady said...

Going to fix breakfast. Ponhaus, scrambled eggs and ham.

Wonder whatever happened to Atthenia, who fixed all those wonderful Southern breakfasts??

BBL

Costume Lady said...

MISS NORMA, You best be getting on here or we will have to send Margy looking for you, with my cane! LOL (maybe a wet noodle)

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning my favorite Jokester!
Good Morning everyone out in Eagleland.
I wish I had seen the nest this morning... too early for me! Maybe later since we know Lib & Belle are back from their vacation.
They say that Galveston TX wasn't hit hard by the storm & they are hoping all vacationers return...
Watching Mei.... so restless... Come on gal.. Mits is there to watch you birth that cub!!!

Mema Jo said...

Want to go back to older comments and look at Deb's newest pictures of the osprey release......

Chrissy Beahan said...

Mei really looks to me as if she is in some discomfort,,,,

Could she be in Labour ????

Or is she just being our very unpredicable Lady as usual ????

Nipple licking now,, at least she is sitting quietly for now,,,

Mema Jo said...

They have Mei on both cams..
She is in the corner in her birthing den - Mits said last evening that she was there when she gave birth to Tai....... Just like waiting for a cracked egg to hatch....... lol

hedgie said...

Good morning everyone. Happy Birthday, Robyn.
Saw the article about Mason in our paper today.
Wanda...of course we all knew you were kidding! BUT....if you needed us, we would have been there!
Hope everything is okay w/ Steve and the NCTC group. THis is very unusual, isn't it?

hedgie said...

Candy, four more weeks and you'll have your town back to a more pleasant place, huh? And then you'll be back to work...argh!!

Mema Jo said...

LOL Mei keeps looking downward as though she is thinking

"JUST WHERE IS THAT CUB & WHEN
IS HE GOING TO SHOOT OUT OF THERE"

I am having a hard time seeing what she is doing when she gets down under her bed of bamboo!

I really need Food but didn't want to leave. Now that I know Sharon & Chrissy are keeping an eye on her I
will get some nourishment!

Chrissy Beahan said...

Thanks Sharon pet,,,,,

At least Helen will be on site if anything happens,,,,

I hope Helen gets to hear the news either way, while she is at the zoo,,,

Well all we can do is sit and wait and hope Mei isn't pulling all our legs,,,,

But she certailnly looks in Labour to me,, she really doesn't know where to put herself does she,,,,

I feel for her,, I hope after she is going through all this that she does have a beautiful pressie at the end of all this,,,,,,

That poor ball is getting some trouble of Mei at the moment,,,

Mei,, legs up on the wall again,, and biting the ball again,,,,

poor poor lady girl,,,,

love and hugs
Chrissy
