Thanks Steven for the new thread. WOW thank you Brett for the wonderful video of our eagle and the nest and tree. Thank you Steven for posting for us to see. ( :
Norma, I just mix 1 part sugar to 3 parts tap water. No boiling. Keep it simple. Most people use 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. Don't go any stronger than 1 sugar to 3 water. Too strong is not good for the hummers.
Steve, thank you for taking the time to post Brett's video. FOLKS, THIS IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO SEE OCT. 18! It is truly breathtaking to walk up to that area and see Lib or Belle (or both) in that tree.
After not seeing a hummer for 3-4 days...just saw one. I am most sure it is a migrating one, because it has more green on it than ours. Glad I kept the feeder full.
Tuesday, September 23 It barely seems possible that in less than a week the cub will be one month old!
In these past 24 days the cub has made phenomenal developmental gains. Since entering the world as a pink, virtually bald, somewhat nascent form, he has developed the quintessential features of a giant panda with tiny black tufted ears, arms, legs, shoulder saddle, and black encircled eyes. He has grown from an estimated birth weight of 125 grams to this morning’s weight of 764.3 grams.
The opportunities to watch these changes are improving as the natural progression of maturation and mothering allows for longer and more frequent periods of time when the cub can be viewed unimpeded. Debbie Forde Curatorial Assistant
Cool video-thanks Steve and Brett!! Paula- great news!!
Hello everybody!
Wanda- we always keep our feeders out until November, sometimes we will get a straggler, hummers all migrate at different times, some of ours here are still very small.
Back to work, up to my eyeballs in field trip paperwork....
Great video, Brett. Thanks and to you, too, Steve for posting! Partly cloudy morning here in the panhandle...but not as cool as the last few am's. Thanks for F&F notes, Jim....hmmmm.....
Hedgie - You're on you own for a while. You can do it! Red is mowing, Sissy & Sharon are working, Mits is unpacking, Norma is filling bird feeders and paying her bills! Megan is doing paperwork for the field trips in hopes of NOT losing any kids!!! Loretta, Paula & Margy are working & Lolly is vacationing! I bet Dana is panda napping! I don't know where Deb is - maybe you can find her. Lynn - good day for staining decks!
As a matter of fact, Jo, as soon as the sun (out full now) moves around the corner, I WILL be hitting the railing painting...only have a little left to do; that should be all for a couple of years, I hope!! I imagine Deb is still catching up on all of her chores after her b-u-s-y summer!!! Have a good afternoon, everyone.
Not really - MITS - I sent a pic from this morning! Now just sent one evening shot of one along...can't find the one of the couple...going to look for it now.
MARGY, are you talking to yourself, again? I think most of us are getting ready to watch TV. A lot of shows are starting their new season this week. NCIS is new tonight (I think). Love that show. Also, dancing with the Stars. Going to have to tape something! Dont't you just love the video Steve posted for us?
I have return to an MT blog I think. Great dinner at Olive Garden down in Columbia. Paula! Great for you mom to be getting out of ICU! Going over to emails as I think some great pictures are awaiting me....
Evening All. What a Beautiful video from Brett & Steve. Couldn't get on IE all day & when trying to post pics, old AOL tries to pop on top of window...AARRGGH! Saw great egerets at Park today---got some faraway pics--put on Blog. Called Jug Bay Visitors. Had a tiny nibble of dinner---need more food & maybe watch some TV....Later maybe.
Mother and Baby cuddling at Atlanta... I think the baby was alone there for a minute but I hit continue and they were both together again. My timing...is POOR... xo
Great, MEMA - I mailed his birthday card out on Friday Sept 19 ...meant to send it sooner, but I put the date on the back of the envelope like you said to..so maybe we can see how long it takes for mail to get there. And I bought me a new pretty red blouse last night at the Second Hand Store...I'm gearing up for Fridays every week ! xoxox
Nothing on the F&F ledge and from Jim's link I don't expect to see any falcons down under this season... I know we have the other site but I got attached to F&F...
I think that Paula and Wanda danced right out of here up to the stars!!! I was thinking that for sure Margy would come back in here - ribbit!!!! Mits and I were looking at OC boardwalk cam - sand's blowing!!!
Going to say Good Night Another beautiful day tomorrow I Bet! Prayers and Positive thoughts for all
Margy, Glad you liked the pics--- they are only Fair. Bob's are GREAT!!! BTW, My boss brought over a butterfly net when we saw the monarch. They are tagging them now. Of course it kept flying over the roof. And they collected several caterpillars which did change to chrysalises.Some didn't emerge due to being parasitized.
Good Morning to all. Wherever you are......... Just checking in and no one is around... here or the nest. Maybe everyone will wake up in a bit. Gotta go to work. Have a wonderful day!!

Great, MEMA - I mailed his birthday card out on Friday Sept 19 ...meant to send it sooner, but I put the date on the back of the envelope like you said to..so maybe we can see how long it takes for mail to get there.

Well it wasn't NEW, It was, we say in my family "New Old"...
AND I got two New Old pairs of Bib Overalls! About wore my other ones out !
As long as it is new to you - that's what makes the difference.
Too dark in the den to see Little Luney......
Nothing on the F&F ledge and from Jim's link I don't expect to see any falcons down under this season...
I know we have the other site but I got attached to F&F...
YEAH! And you should see the pile of greeting cards I got! I finally found ONE FROG !
..You'll never guess who's gonna get that FROG !
BabyLanta all alone and squirming and wiggling...
That IS the Baby isn't it? Or a far off view of the Momma?
There's my answer..Mom is back...almost looks like she SAT on Luney but now she is loving him up !
I miss all this during the daytime...
Baby in full view, Luney on top of Lun Lun.
