Hello! I bet you are good at acting Director - We all know you run the show down there with or without title. We can live with automatic threads, Steve, but we do like hearing from you! Thanks.
Good afternoon, everyone!! Could stand having no news about baby Lun, so I called the Atlanta Zoo. They said the baby is doing great, still with mom, gaining weight, nursing, vocalizing, etc. I told her we need more updates. DON'T THEY KNOW WHO WE ARE!!! She laughed and said they have their hands full over there. She was very nice and said the baby is doing great!!!
CHRISSY SENDS HER LOVE TO ALL ON THE BLOG....SHE SAYS ONE OF THESE DAYS SHE WILL GET MORE ORGANISED AND ASKS "CAN I CHANGE AT MY AGE ?? WHO AM I KIDDING ?"
SO, LOVE AND A QUOTE FROM DEAR CHRISSY ACROSS THE POND.....
Thursday, September 4 The giant panda cub and mother Lun Lun continue to do very well through Wednesday evening and into this morning. Brief cub checks Wednesday evening and this morning revealed that he is steadily increasing in weight as we would hope and expect. Zoo Atlanta's animal management and veterinary teams have also observed and heard the cub nursing a number of times. We are very pleased with the cub's progress as well as Lun Lun's reaction to our intrusions. Despite Monday's scare, she is proving once again to be a terrific mother.

09/04/08: We've spotted our first bald eagle on the platform since we went live again. As a reminder, we do know that sometimes our Eagle Cam couple will hang out on the osprey platform when the ospreys have migrated
Thanks for the Panda Cub update Sissy and Mits and also the alert to eagles (Those white headed and tailed birds) are visiting the BW osprey platform. Hey Loretta - That's an eagle!
Thank you all for your Birthday wishes!!!! I'm having a wonderful birthday and thank you all for your good wishes! I will be sure to miss someone, but special thanks to Helen, Thelma, Megan, Maggy, Red, Ceil, Glo, Sissy, Dana, Jo, Deb, Hedgie, Paula, Naturenut!!!! I really appreciate it - Thanks again, (((((hugs)))), Iris
On that Critterzoom - Click on the Heron........ I don't think it is real time as I thought they fledged to a different tree - I haven't really viewed them for a long time
About 3 a.m., Buphals was outside, wrapped around the tree of course. He was laying there so still, I walked out there and he was staring down a deer. It was beautiful. Buphals did not move a muscle!
What- the game ain't over yet.. Yes, Mason plays a lot of instruments- including guitar and bassoon... his Dad is a musician and runs a couple of music stores.
NOW it's over...still lousy score and lousy game. They talked about Joe Gibb's poor clock management last year...well, Zorn was no better. And can't understand why Campbell didn't throw to Cooley more than once...boo!!!!
Hi all! Can not believe I am listening to Redskin and Giant fans! Cowboy fan here!! LOL
Well, the hurricane did bring us two days of beautiful cool weather and tomorrow the temp goes back up. Darn! But, we got in two days on intensive work in the yard. I hurt all over!
Has anyone heard from Candy? I know she is busy at school and tired when she gets home! Those kindergarten days are not far behind me.
I think we will probably be getting train tickets. I guess that will be for Sunday morning? Sounds great!
Ok, my wonderful Eagle buds, gonna hit the sack. See ya'll in the morning light. I am getting so excited about the open house. Probably not gonna do the train ride, make it too late getting home, or so my sister said!!
saying GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE...We are under a Tropical Storm Watch, so will be heading back home tomorrow instead of my original date of Saturday.....got my outdoor furniture bungeed, and doing some packing, will be back here next Thursday or Friday, depending on Hurricane Ike's plans.....WAKE UP MASON
HANNA IS STILL A TROPICAL STORM, but looks like it is headed for Candy, think she is near Wrightsville Beach, and they are thinking that it will come ashore there, then quickly up the east coast, with heavy rain and wind, and the dreaded beach erosion:(
Still lurking..was checking Finland & it was still dark. Guess it's OK. Saw Pix in PA earlier & must be night light on made Big Buck white! Beautiful, saved his pic. Gonna see Finland...
Cam Clickers still has some pretty cool cams going, including Northern Cardinal in New York, and there is a Sea Birds one from Alaska, only on 9 am to 6 pm Alaska time, going to have to check that one out daytime Friday !
I seem to be making a habit of missing everyone at night. It is time for bed for me. We are trying to tie up the last details for the Volunteer Party on Sunday night.
Janie got some sad news. She lost one of her educational birds, a kestrel. I think not being there has made it harder for her. She had Pegasus (Peggy for short) for 16 years and rescued her from being put down after the lab experiments she was used for were done. (Our government, not a private business)
Sis - You're not been seduced by that thing at the top of the nest are you? We think that is a Spidey trick! What is the little thing smack in the middle of the nst though?

Thanks Jim for the SD update. I don't get to watch them that much but it was a very interesting story.
Bai is eating her bamboo lunch beneath a tree...
ZZ is climbing and playing in the same tree overhead...
You guessed it, she drops onto her mother's head and proceeds to wrestle with her as she eats.

DOES ANYONE SEE IN OUR NEST
AT 12:00.......
2 feet of Liberty and his body
with maybe the white at his neck
Spidey I think is tricking me...........
I think Spidey is tricking you:)
I think it is Spidey but I do see where you are talking about!
Me Too :(
yes does look like a white neck
So, how does your hair look, Mits and Jo? :(
On the PA cam, do they just switch views every so often? This is my first time of watching it.
looking fine....the hairdresser here really tries to make me look younger, bless her heart, but will feel better when I do it myself
yes, it a deer comes up to the salt lick it is on auto sensor, then when it leaves it goes back to regular scene
Well, cool!
deer headed to PA cam, and the reacoons come visit too, sharon
Jim just sent out the most perfect Maxine for me! It is me!
Except it is too small to read!
Critterzoom -Wild Watch
Yepper, Sharon! That Maxine is YOU!
On that Critterzoom - Click on the Heron........ I don't think it is real time as I thought they fledged to a different tree - I haven't really viewed them for a long time
About 3 a.m., Buphals was outside, wrapped around the tree of course. He was laying there so still, I walked out there and he was staring down a deer. It was beautiful. Buphals did not move a muscle!
Well, the barn owl is mighty pretty!
Scar, my cat does the same thing with rabbits.... Doesn't move a
muscle.
Is that three blue heron babies?
She is pretty but looks like a Ghost!
Ever since last year when we lost those 6 little ones - I don't follow the Barn Owl too much.
I don't think we have ever seen baby raccoons on that cam.... cats - yes - baby coons - no!
Okay, so I won't watch the barn owl!
oh yes, Sharon you are the perfect Maxine:)
Buck...PA
That is one big buck
BEVERLY
This user's mailbox is full
No mail to you..... until you
clean it out!
BIG BUCK & 2 DOES
3 deer now
and a racoon
REDSKINS 7
GIANTS 16
4th quarter
Uh oh- Smoot is hurtin.............
Megan - you best keep your distance!
When do the pumpkins come in!
Let me know if you contact Beth and she would be free on the 18th for either lunch or dinner or both.
Update on Mason from his Mom/Dad
Mason's Candles
Game is over.....
SKINS :( Didn't win it!
It is so great what Shepherd University Band is doing for Mason and his family. Music major - hmmm, really makes it hit closer to home for me now!
Ice Cream Time.......
BBL
EE Sharon, Love your Maxine & I totally agree. I want to be Maxine when I grow up!
What- the game ain't over yet..
Yes, Mason plays a lot of instruments- including guitar and bassoon... his Dad is a musician and runs a couple of music stores.
Game's not over 'til the Fat lady sings, Jo!!! Don't jump the gun!! Still 6 min...Skins have the ball......fingers crossed!!!
We have a hometown boy who plays for the Giants, #44, Ahmad Bradshaw. Sorry the 'skins lost but I am glad the Giants won!!
NOW it's over...still lousy score and lousy game. They talked about Joe Gibb's poor clock management last year...well, Zorn was no better. And can't understand why Campbell didn't throw to Cooley more than once...boo!!!!
Man! I can't even read the Sport's
page right! Sorry all you Skin's Fans that I jumped the gun.......
Hi all! Can not believe I am listening to Redskin and Giant fans! Cowboy fan here!! LOL
Well, the hurricane did bring us two days of beautiful cool weather and tomorrow the temp goes back up. Darn! But, we got in two days on intensive work in the yard. I hurt all over!
Has anyone heard from Candy? I know she is busy at school and tired when she gets home! Those kindergarten days are not far behind me.

Ok, my wonderful Eagle buds, gonna hit the sack. See ya'll in the morning light. I am getting so excited about the open house. Probably not gonna do the train ride, make it too late getting home, or so my sister said!!
Lolly - I'll find out who else is going up to the train and get names to you..
Don't remember Candy's son's
wedding date..... I have seen her in an email - so I know she is well.
10/4 is the wedding date for Candy's son...
Whoops- fat lady has sung.. not good for skins-
Cowboys- won't even comment...
football over- politics on..zzz...hot air makes me sleepy..nite all...
I was thinking hurrican Hanna is heading Candy's direction.
saying GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE...We are under a Tropical Storm Watch, so will be heading back home tomorrow instead of my original date of Saturday.....got my outdoor furniture bungeed, and doing some packing, will be back here next Thursday or Friday, depending on Hurricane Ike's plans.....WAKE UP MASON
HANNA IS STILL A TROPICAL STORM, but looks like it is headed for Candy, think she is near Wrightsville Beach, and they are thinking that it will come ashore there, then quickly up the east coast, with heavy rain and wind, and the dreaded beach erosion:(
Thanks, Mits- I thought you remembered that date. Lolly that means in one month Candy's big day will be here!
Good night Sharon, Helen & Megan.
I'm not far behind you all......
I'm more concerned about IKE:(
Yes, those storms are not looking good. Beach erosion is truly dreaded if you have a home on the beach.
Thanks for letting me know where Candy lives, will be watching that storm.
Nite all! Think I will go put my nose back in my book and read til I fall asleep.
Well looks like Wash. is the Deadskins again :>(
Daughter near Austin got some rain from Hanna. Her hubby is from TN, but a lifelong Cowboys fan--that makes for compromising relationship!!!LOL
No, Mits, Candy is up on the Outer Banks, near Kitty Hawk. Wrightsville is down close to Wilmington.
Here comes the Ferry Boat !
left to right, wait on the refreshes
Loretta, please don't make me cry! They aren't dead!!
I call all those big ships ferryboats, maybe that IS a cruise ship....
Heading for tub and bed. Early morning retiree breakfast. Talk to you all tomorrow!
Pleasant dreams, and prayers for all.
oh, I knew she was near some famous beach...my bad:)
Didn't we see baby racoons at Pix PA earlier in the year? I think they have all grown up now...I wish we would see some skunks!
Critter Zoom is cool, but no sound? Big Fat Owl took off while I was watching it...
I think I missed a lot of Good Nights...so - Hello to anyone still lurking...
Waiting on a Sea Eagle or Two..
xo
Still lurking..was checking Finland & it was still dark. Guess it's OK. Saw Pix in PA earlier & must be night light on made Big Buck white! Beautiful, saved his pic.
Gonna see Finland...
Hello - Glad you're back - hope your evening was full of fun!
And Now That The Day has Ended:
Good night to all
Been a busy day for me
Pleasant dreams and peaceful sleep
Prayers for all being said
Mason - can you hear the music? They are playing it for you
Cam Clickers still has some pretty cool cams going, including Northern Cardinal in New York, and there is a Sea Birds one from Alaska, only on 9 am to 6 pm Alaska time, going to have to check that one out daytime Friday !
Nighty-Night MEMA, sleep tight...
HI NATURE NUT !
I hear my feather pillows calling my name....
But I ain't quite ready yet !
Northern Cardinal site has sound, and it is windy! Mom perched on the eggs..looks like three eggs, hope there is color in daytime...
Nature Nut: Do you have the Puleston site? Has lots of news and pics of the Finney Osprey nest..
Margy, Yes I have Puleston. Don't go there very much, but will check it.
Finland nests are MT.
Gotta hit the hay soon--work in AM.
Pleasant Feather Dreams All ;>))
First day in a long time without a new update from the Ellsworths...
WAKE UP MASON! THE BAND IS GOING TO PLAY FOR YOU AT THE FOOTBALL GAMES....SURE YOU WANT TO HEAR THAT!
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE...
TAKE CARE, AND PRAYERS.
XOX
I seem to be making a habit of missing everyone at night. It is time for bed for me. We are trying to tie up the last details for the Volunteer Party on Sunday night.

Somehow, I missed saying
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO IRIS!
I hope she had a great one.
