Yeah, my buddy just called from Hedgesville, he said it's snowing like crazy there- it is sunny and 42° here, another batch of rain coming at us...22 mph wind

I worked with Preston when I worked in the court system. Nice person to me. We always got along. Sad (:

Costume Lady said...

I hope that Preston's predecessor works as hard for the seniors as he did. That homestead exemption check buys a lot of meds for some folks.

looks like some snowflakes at the nest.

Fun for cubs: make your own giant panda mask!
Giant pandas are amazing in many different ways, but one thing about them that really sticks out is their unique black-and-white coloration. Follow the directions below to make your very own panda mask.

Materials:

1 piece of black construction paper
1 paper plate
Glue
2 pieces of yarn
A black marker
Scissors
Hole punch
Instructions:

Cut your paper plate in half. (You can keep the other half for a friend to make another panda mask.)
Cut round eye holes in the paper plate, so you can see out of your mask.
Cut round ears and a heart-shaped nose out of the black construction paper and glue them to your mask.
Use your black marker to color around the eyes.
Punch holes on each side of the mask and tie a string to each hole. Now you have your very own panda mask!

Red tail hawk back in nest

floralgirl said...

Oh yes, joy, it is snowing here now...winds are howling- 32 mph...

wvgal_dana said...

I'll have to keep checking..this one seems to have a spot on back of forehead. When it bends its head over.

wvgal_dana said...

Maybe that is the female and that is where the male holds on during HP.

Mits said...

pretty windy here too.

floralgirl said...

I just had another scam call- this time 'client services'-warning me I was losing the opportunity to lower my credit card interest rate-Watch it, these calls are happening more and more and I can't report them, because somehow they have a number showing that is no longer in service. Rather nasty woman who was not amused by my questions....

wvgal_dana said...

Button down the hatches MEGAN !

Mits said...

yeah had the same warranty call yesterday, finally pushed button #1 asked why he was calling and he hung up...go figure

Marion Barry To Get New Kidney Friday

Embattled former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry is scheduled to undergo a kidney transplant Friday afternoon, according to a hospital official.

good maybe now he can pay his back taxes

floralgirl said...

Evil calls, just trying to trick people, she wanted my credit card number, and I told her she should already have it....she said I was real funny- I don't think she meant it:(

floralgirl said...

Maybe they could do a lobotomy while he's under..

hedgie said...

Oops...forgot to add worry about GeeGee to my list. How is she today, Wanda?

Mits said...

do they think we have dumb written across our foreheads.....

Mits said...

I have not looked at Africam in a long time, looks more sophisticated, and ,they have a flamingo cam too. Getting dark in Africa though

Costume Lady said...

Helen, did you see the report on the Red Pandas and short video of their first meeting? It was sent to me from FONZ. They are adorable!!

Mits said...

can't do that, Megan he is Mayor for life:)

movin said...

There is a new Catalina Report posted, and the bluie link is below.

Have you seen the Anna's Hummingbird nest on beakspeak yet??

It's south of San Francisco right on top of a man-made, cone-shaped thing ... maybe a hanger for wind chimes. That's unusual enough, but apparently the momma is raising "FOUR" chicks in the tiny nest.

Steffi's Report

Mits said...

yes, I did....everyone is in love with this pair, should be on the zoo pages too....that was Jenny one of my favorite keepers...she is having her 1st baby soon

hedgie said...

SO... if Barry gets the transplant then he has NO excuse not to go to jail. What a jerk...always has been, always will be. Can't beleive the judge has let him off so many times.
Gotta get ready...see you gals and guys tonight. Stay safe!

paula eagleholic said...

Afternoon, all.

I told that lower your interest guy to put me on his 'do not call' list...and in fact I was already on it and he was violating the law...he hung up and hasn't called back.

paula eagleholic said...

DC loves Marion Barry....he can never seem to do any wrong...can't believe the tax thing....

Mits said...

hmm, that is an insult to jerks in general, Lynn, he is way beyond that status.....judge must be in his back pocket.:)

movin said...

Both eagle parents are in the nest, standing, at Two Harbors.

I wonder if it involves a second egg.

Mits said...

in the 25 years I have lived here, have never understood their devotion to him, when he was in charge the city was in shambles, but they kept voting him in.

Mits said...

Verizon just sent me an email, they are going to improve my webmail, hope that includes letting me open my mail and delete it.

movin said...

He left, she returned to the egg cup. Then she rolled the "one" egg before settling down.

movin said...

I opened the West End nest, saw Dianne setting as though she has an egg; and as I watched, #01 flew by behind the nest.

Jim

movin said...

Now they're standing side-by-side on the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

paula eagleholic said...

Mits said...
