THANKS STEVE.
I have been looking off and on this morning for our Royal Pair, but nothing yet. Maybe later.
Good morning Wanda and Steve!
Good Morning, Sharon. I love your feathers. Do you have a story to go along with them?
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...THANK YOU WANDA FOR THE HEADS-UP AND STEVEN FOR THE NEW MONDAY THREAD WAKE UP MASON:)!!!
LYNN, I saw your inquiry last night about the stained -glass pennant...will check with jubby, he found it and ordered it, it is very pretty.
Good Morning, Helen. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your son and to you for bringing such a fine young man into this world.
Good morning Thelma, Sissy, Wanda, Sharon, sister and late night or early morning Jim. What is that stuff in the nest? Or is it the way the light hits it.
Thanks, Wanda, he is a keeper:)
LYNN husband ordered the pennant from The Danbury Mint.
Mei and Tian are relaxing together having their breakfast:)
Just looked in on Mei and Tian. They are on both cams. They are eating side by side very peacefully. That won't last long. LOL
Ceil, think it is the light
She is such the lady, sitting there, and he is laying down eating
sea eagles at Finland
That you see that. All that bamboo and they both want the same piece.
Thanks for coming to get me Wanda!! I was wondering where everyone was!!
Thanks for the new thread Steve!! Good morning Friends!!
Meant to say Did you see that. I think I need some tea.
Ceil, go get your tea:)
them bears are rasslin' again!
The first question I asked Sissy this morning was what was that in the nest?
I just made some Starbucks Sumatra coffee. Got to get myself jump-started this morning and that should do the trick!
they sure are, Sissy
When are you going back to the beach, Mits?
probably Friday:), for the rest of the month...have to be back by the 28th for the downs syndrome walk:)at BWI.
some guy is singing on the panda cam:)
That is Tian singing Mits. He IS that good!
roflmbo.....
he sang already got 2 black eyes:)
maybe I should start interpreting in song.
Good idea, Mits!
with my voice the pandas would come after me to stop...
I can't wait to see them on Wednesday:)
everybody into the pool:)
What? in the pool?? Wait- I don't have a bathing suit....
I left mine at the beach:)
We can wear our Birthday suits!!
Oh no, on second thought maybe not. I would not be very pretty in my birthday suit. It is worn out and wrinkled!!

Norma big bash was last year for his 30th...low key this year, no party....
Oh!---to be "30" AGAIN!!!
Norma, last night we stood at two different feeder spots and we had 5at each area at the same time, we seem to have more hummingbirds and butterflies than ever this year.
There's a short update on Mason's site from one of the AAngels , and do keep your positive vibes flowing, hopefully he will be sent to rehab hospital this week.
Hummers are migrating now and you will be getting many many more as they pass through. Here is a pic of one of my feeders a couple of years ago about this time of year as they migrated through North Alabama.
Hummers
good news, Megan.......cool pic, Red
Good Morning such a beautiful day ( :
Norma your such an inspiration. I just love your incoming comments. ( :
Megan that sounds good for Mason.
Red I just love that picture. For myself I have never seen that many hummingbirds at one time...WOW!!!
In that photo it looks like it's at night but it was just at sundown and I think they were filling up for the night. My flash made it look darker than it really was.
Also you'll notice they are all females as the males migrate first in the fall and spring.
Morning, all.
At work today...Mom doing OK, thanks for keeping her in your thoughts.
Happy Birthday to Mits' son...and prayers for Tom...
thanks, Paula, thought of her when we passed hospital, and said a healing prayer.
Sea eagles 2 at Finney on the water
Both left now one is back
Great picture of the hummers Red.
Paula as I said to you I have your Mom and you and family in prayer.
Also been thinking of Bev and Tom last night and this morning.
NOTE FROM SUZANNE, RE: SEA EAGLES
I put a couple pics in the momsters album of their visit this morning.
You guys can mention it on the blog if you like, to tell everyone.
One is in the nest now, as we speak. Both were there, then they left,
and one returned and is now laying down.
THANKS, SUZANNE:)
Good Morning! Do I hear a panda singing? lol I do see the good ole' sun a shinning! Looks great!
Thanks for letting us know that Suzanne is still a commentator for us!
I am having a difficult time getting out of my emails! I have some errands to run....... I will return
BBL
Jo. Just want you to know I will NOT be there on the 18th of Oct.
I'll have to go take a look at the Sea Eagles album for Suzanne's pics. lol To see if we were snapping at the same time ..... great Suzanne.....( :
Happy Lovely Eagle Day Everyone!
Red we'll miss you & your dessert!Love your hummer pic. My daughter in TX gets tons like that around now. We normally have 3 regulars. The boy left 3 weeks ago, but ladies and others are still around.Got quite a few females here at the Park.
Thx Jo for the Atlanta B'day Party link. I was disappointed the zoo didn't show much. Sent that link to Suzanne & she loved it. Sent her my meerkat link too. Put the exotic butterflies on Blog last night.
blackbird at BWO
Loretta loved the NZ pictures.
I just checked out the Sea Eagles album for today....Suzanne and me snapped different pics.....Suzanne's are great shots and I love her captions. A must see!
Loretta I love butterflies...I'll go see.
Loretta is the first butterfly on "Butterfly Pavilion II". Is it a type of butterfly moth?
I just called the Atlanta Zoo to donate bamboo but found they only go within a 60 mile radus. I live about 160 miles. Maybe I can sell fishing poles. lol
Jo, did you see the turtle shell in the nest????
I was wondering what that was in the nest.
Dana, that first one, Malachite, is a butterfly.
BTW, I see a huge round blob near center of nest too. Have they been grocery shopping? There is a smaller round object that does look like a turtle shell.
down at 6 o'clock position, Red
don't know what that is at the top of the nest, but they were feeding on it earlier.
MORNIN'--RED EAGLE---DANA---PAULA --- JO & NATURENUT!!----RED---Thanks for the pics of your HUMMERS!-----I bet it takes big bucks keep that crew fed!--ho!---Beautiful photograph!!!-------
PAULA---I have you & your Mother in my thoughts & prayers----GOD BLESS---
SUZANNE sent me the pictures of those AWESOME SEA EAGLES!---They looks so PITIFUL---and BEAUTIFUL at the same time!!---LOVE 'EM!
Love the butterflies, Loretta. Each time you post photos of them, I get excited thinking about starting a "Butterfly Gardden" next Spring. I don't have time now...Halloween is acummin!
Thanks LOVELY DANA!!----I checked the DONKEYS earlier----Appears they are just starting to come to feed!!!---ho!
I will be absent from here from time to time now, getting the shop ready...don't come looking for me Margy-I'm OK!
Your favorite time of the year, Wanda, and you busiest:)
Wanda, you should set up a cam at the shop:)
MEGAN!----I have had MASON & his family in my thoughts & prayers--When he goes to rehab--will that be in the area!----Didn't realize for a long time that he was a relative!!---GOD BLESS!
Oh my goodness, Helen, I never thought of that. That would be hilarious. I have some REAL CHARACTERS that come in!
hey if you need a sponsor, I'd love to help......that would be funny
NATURENUT----That is one "COOL" BUTTERFLY!!------Colors just blow one's mind!!---
Yep Norma there are some milling around in the front and more donkeys in the back.
I am sorry RED EAGLE that you can't come to see us in October!!!
If you can't come---we have been wondering if you could mail us one of your SPECIAL CHEESE CAKES?-----We will be waiting with bated breath-------
PAULA---I am way behind---(as always)---who is TOM?---Is that SANDY'S husband!!---
ITS SISSY'S HUSBAND, NORMA, he has a bad back.
Sissy, you could borrow Sharon's feathers and make like Sally Rand!!!
Morning all!!
I was wondering the same thing as Wanda about your feathers, Sharon. They are unique!
Look at Finney on the water site
I forgot to answer Wanda earlier, sorry! These feathers were sent to me in an email (there are a lot more than this) from Ozzie, my friend who turned me onto this wonderful site and in turn blessed me with all my eagle buddies!
Hey Norma- you have mail.
Has Red's cheesecake arrived yet? I have my plate ready...
Thanks for pennant info, Mits. I either missed that offer, or maybe have jsut forgotten seeing it...I have absolutely no wall space left to hang anything! I do have a lovely tiffany-style lamp that has the Redskins shade...think it was Danbury.
Red, what as great pic of your visitors!!
it probably was that company, Lynn.
Sharon doesn't Ozzie watch this site now?
Sorry you won't be here for open house, Red! Sure would have been great to meet you!
Beautiful butterflies, Loretta!
Sharon, is Ozzie still a momster/dadster? Never heard that name here before!
GOOD MORNING, YOU BIRDERS.
Have a good week.
[:~)]
Jim
Lynn, he has come on here just occasionally but he is the one that sent me the link to the eagle cam in 2006. Don't think he has ever been a dadster!
Dana, checked my pics again (they don't load well here) and the first butterfly in the 2nd set is not the Malachite (green) but the black, white & blue. It is a butterfly but don't know it's common name.
To Wanda re: comment on meerkats---in the bottom right corner of rock is a meerkat playing in the sand. This blog makes pics appear a lot darker than normal.
Jim, If you are still here. I asked Lisa at Blackwater and she said that the flowers are tickseed sunflowers
Sharon, I was hoping those feathers were for sale somewhere. I have Southwest decor in my living room and they would be a wonderful addition. Too bad :(
Wanda, try here!
http://www.paintedfeather.com/
LYNN, you mentioned an ill friend and her name was Maridel. Is she from Martinsburg? I used to know a Maridel Albright (I think that was her last name).
Those look different than these though.
SHARON, thank you so much. Guess what I want for Christmas?! Or, my birthday is sooner. LOL
I love Southwest decor:)
These are more like it!

On the front page of our newspaper today. Is a picture/article of a gentleman that was drafted at age 18 into the service. What is exciting about the picture. Is the gentleman's name is Byrd. Where the picture is taken. Him and his wife are sitting on a couch. The wall behind them has all different pictures of birds. Different shapes and sizes of frames. The largest frame and picture in the center of all is a beautiful bald eagle. Neat huh...
They look like needlepoint pictures, very pretty. Maybe his wife made them.
The feathers in the last link that you gave me, Sharon, absolutely take my breath away, I haven't checked out the prices yet. I'm afraid to. LOL
MEGAN---I not only have my plate ready----I have my FORK too!---ho!
Gene's Grandmother made a quilt many years ago with each state and it's flower and bird. There were only 48 states at the time. It is so pretty and it was given to me when she died. I have never displayed it because I'm afraid something will happen to it. Silly, huh?
yikes, Wanda, hey Capt....we know what Wanda wants for her birthday.
PRICES: Unless otherwise stated, paintings are $250. All pieces are fully framed, triple-matted with acid-free mats, wire-hung, with UV glass. Framing size averages around 8 inches by 18 or 19 inches, and is cut to the proportions of each feather.
If you are in need of a commissioned feather without a frame, I'll only do those for active purpose such as smudging and healing. Otherwise, you're much better off to get the framed piece, as it will survive for decades protected behind glass.
Wanda, I still have some things my Mom made for me:), including a crochet red, white and blue vest made during the bicentennial year....no way I can fit in it..just can't give it away.
Darn, I thought she wanted a robo panda....
that is correct, she DOES want a ROBO-PANDA:)
Thanks Sharon I knew I recalled the name Ozzie.
Loretta they are ALL beautiful butterflies pictures!!
Megan you could be right about being needle point. I sent around an email with the link but the pic is so small. Still can recognize the Bald Eagle though. ( :
MORNIN' MOVIN'JIM!!----What's new with you on this glorious day?
Norma check your email please
There's another update on Mason, just describing yesterday's visit from the other AAngel.
I'm up and down, in and out today. I don't even know what I've been doing.
But I did get a chance to look at some cams, skim the comments on here etc.
Didn't see this link to what looks like a pretty encouraging report on Mason.

Hi all! Had a fun day yesterday celebrating Jacob's 4th birthday. all went well and we had fun. I was giving him a bath about 8:30, he looked up at me and said "Thank you Grandmommy for my presents". Melted my heart.
Today I had a luncheon, retired teachers. It was was very enjoyable. Always like seeing many friends.
Looks like I am still working as a hurricane Magnet. Ike is headed Texas way...we're supposed to go to the coast (down near Corpus this time) on Monday. Will have to wait and see what happens. Just paint a target on my back!
Either Nethy and Dashar are liking the fishing where they are, or the weather in the Channel region is still bad, because they are both moving enough to tell they are alive but not enough to be called migration.
Actually, they won;t be coming back to the British Isles again for at least two years, so I guess there's no big hurry. Much better to be roosting in a fairly warm clime and feeding up than to be blown off course to who knows where.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Lolly maybe we should bring umbrellas to open house, just in case.:)
Didn't see this one posted either:
When I signed on this morning I couldn't open the 30 sec cam page at all...don't know why. But it's working now, in case you were having troubles too.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Yes, Wanda, that is the same Maridel! Isn't it a small world??
cam has been fine all day, Jim
Oh, Mits!!!! I did not think that far ahead! Yes, bring your umbrellas, bungee cords, etc. And, I will apologize ahead of time for bringing a storm to you.
Lolly, hopefully Ike will be long gone before Monday! Of course, if there is damage, that would change your plans. Hope it doesn't happen! Could veer off towards Mexico!
Wow, Lolly, Ike should be gone, but I understand shelling is wonderful after a storm!
Hope there' no big storms in Oct. at nest.
Visitor just came in who is looking for areas for hiking,fishing to bring his small grandchildren. He asked if we had snakeheads!!!! Not yet! As far as I've heard they've been in streams off the Potomac.
Dana, You have email.
yes, Loretta they can be seen walking around DC too:) We that live here, call them politicians:)
Helen, ROFLMHO!!! You are quick and clever!
Helen, so true!!!
Since hubby retired from US Senate, he won't set tire or foot in DC!
I have to do all my sightseeing by subway!!!
Got a Fall Hiking Spree going on thru Dec. 12 designated trails in many Parks in this county. One is here. If I can get a second wind, might try it after work--if not, then Sat.Path is pretty close to the eagle nest!!!If you complete 6 of the 12, you're eligible to get a small shield for your hiking stick.I don't use the stick---it's bigger than I am!
BBL
Loretta, I take it hubby was NOT a pol!!! What did he do at the Senate? What...you don't drive in the city??? I really don't mind doing so...it's the getting there from here that's a pain! I still know my own old routes through DC very well...and it hasn't really changed TOO much since I did it all the time. But compared to most other cities, did you know that it has the most logical layout?
Tom just heard where a 59-year-old woman in England just gave birth to triplets. Oh Lord, somebody just shoot me!!
That means I would have three 5 year olds right now! Heaven forbid! I find it difficult to keep of with three grandsons!
You're sharp Mits! LOL
Yes, the hurricane should be gone by Monday, but depending on where it goes in there could be lots of flooding between our home and the coast where we are heading. It will be wait and see. Going to meet my sister there. They are from the Houston area, but are gone at the moment in their RV.
Loretta, Jack and I have hiking sticks that are covered with shields! We get try to get them everywhere we go and do at least a little hiking or maybe just a lot of walking. LOL
Make that "we try to get". :)
That woman is gonna need a sitter..
That woman is gonna need VALIUM!!
I think she should think about a different hubby!!!
I'm staying out of this. lol
Good one, Red! :)
Well, she may need her head examined, but she will probably make a ton of money off the publicity so can hire plenty of help! Better her than me, LOL!!
Of course, it is 99% certain that she had alot of hormone therapy and maybe in vitro!
A 59-year-old woman in France has given birth by Caesarean section to triplets, who are said to be in good health, according to the Paris hospital that is treating them.
"Everything went smoothly," a spokesman at the Cochin hospital told Agence France-Presse. He said the babies, two boys and a girl, were delivered Saturday night
The woman, who is married to a man in his 40s, reportedly went to a private Vietnamese clinic willing to overlook the age limit set at 45 for egg donation and in-vitro fertilization, AFP reported.
But like the 59-year-old woman, age limits have not stopped other women from seeking IVF overseas.
Earlier this year, a 70-year-old Indian woman gave birth to twins after receiving IVF treatment.
And in May 2007, Frieda Birnbaum, 60, gave birth to twin boys, becoming the oldest woman to give birth to twins in the United States.
Birnbaum told FOXNews.com she underwent IVF in 2006 in Cape Town, South Africa.
The twins were delivered at Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, N.J., via Caesarean section.
Make that 100%!!
lol...Lynn, hope she enjoyed herself in Vietnam:)
Monday, September 8
It was another good day and night for Lun Lun and cub. Rest came much as one might expect for a nursing mother – short-lived bouts of sleep interrupted by the occasional cub vocalizations. Lun Lun responds by cradling him closer or repositioning herself in order to keep her cub warm and comfortable. The cub is nursing well and gaining weight, and Lun Lun continues to appropriately attend to his needs.
Because of the excellent progress, the frequency of cub checks is being gradually reduced. At this morning’s 5 AM check, he weighed in at a hefty 208.1 grams; a gain of 16.6 grams in approximately 12 hours. As she has done before, Lun Lun took advantage of the break. However, once eating, drinking and other personal matters were out of the way, she exhibited great eagerness to return to the business of mothering.

Curatorial Assistant
there is an adorable pic of him on their page
Awwww, isn't he cute???
would love to scoop him up and hug him:)
Oh my gosh!! Is he the sweetest thing or what?? They said he is starting to get the black markings. I have written an email to them begging for a live feed of him and Lun again!! Please give us back the baby Panda!!
we begged them 2 years ago to give us audio......never happened
BTW...Magpie found out she has to work a few more night shifts. Hope she is sleeping now!
I e-mailed them also Sissy and asked when they would put the cam back on Lun Lun and cub. No response.
I'm calling it a day. I'll see y'all tomorrow.
see ya, Red.
Good night Red!!
Sharon emailed them this morning too. Maybe if we do it often enough, they will listen. (A girl's gotta have a dream :))
I know they tried 2 years ago to get changes but it did not happen. I am going to think positive.
When I emailed Atlanta this morning, I was just asking for an explanation as to why they weren't doing that! Of course, I have not heard back yet either.
Are you saying that Atlanta does not have the cam on the new baby new panda? I am sooo confused..70 yr old women having babies..
Yes, Megan, that is what we are saying! Cam on Buta and Yang Yang but not Lun Lun and little Luni!
EAGLE ALERT - OUR NEST!
That is unbelievable.. Has it been that way since that night they took the cub for a while to feed it?
hmmm, just got my Delta airline weekly specials....only $69.00 to Atlanta.....maybe I just ought to fly down there
yes, Megan, since last Monday.
and that's why she is called Eagle eye! I was just in sheptown looking for them..
that was fast...
Yes, right after I saw the hand reach in and pick it up that night, they have yet to have the camera back on the baby!
Thanks Eagle Eye for the pic. You click quick!
Sure wish she would come around again.
Would love to know what it is in the middle of our nest and even more so I would like to know what they are going to do with it!
Buta is sacked out on the edge of the trapeze thing she lays on. She looks so uncomfortable, but she must not be. Spends alot of time there.
Sissy - where are you watching Buta?
Sissy, how are you getting Atlanta?
Sissy - are you just checking to see if we are alive and alert??????
tee-hee, I knew when I posted the update....no bear was there:)
We open it up in wmp and it stays up.
Will you email me just how to do that
When I first open it in the morning, i copy the url and open it in the windows media player. Stays there till late at night sometimes.
Plus you don't have to refresh it, stays on, no time limit.
Mema Jo, you have mail!
Thanks...I'll try it one morning..
I don't think I have to refresh the cam on the regular one.
I'll get it!
Oh no 70 yr old women having babies....I'll stay with watching the pandas lol
Here's a link for watching hummingbirds at 3 feeders:
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/
hummingbirds--live!
Sometimes there are a few and other times many hummingbirds there.
It is in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Thanks for the info Sharon..
I'm off to CVS before they close
Catch you all later..........
Well, eagle friends, I am going to sign out for the night! Have a good evening.
WAKE UP MASON!!
Good night, Sissy. Sleep tight!
Good night Sissy.
Howdy, all!
Just a quick check in....Mom is doing OK...will see her tomorrow ...brother and I are going to check out nursing homes...I think they are moving her to the nursing home on Wednesday...so we have to pick one out. This whole thing is a big education!
I'll get to sleep in my own bed tonight....probably stay at Mom's house tomorrow night...don't know when I'll be back on...
Prayers for those in need!
Paula, we are thinking and praying for you and Mom.
Take care of yourself, Paula, I'll be keeping your Mom in my thoughts.
Okay, Dear Paula.
Thinking of you and praying hard.
Many of us have been where you are now....tough, tough. Let us know how we can help, please.
Hello and Good Night to Everyone...got switched to midnights for the rest of the week so probably won't be on here much...I'll be watching for all the Eagle updates though...Fabulous pic from earlier.
Thanks for Sharin', Sharon!
xo Take Care, and Big Prayers.
