Doing pretty well - Just remembered to eat dinner lol Kidding of course. When you sit around watching tv, reading and not doing much of anything - you get HUNGRY! Limiting my carbos.. & calories.
Jo, I have been getting Activia. I like the strawberry yogurt on strawberries and the vanilla yogurt on blackberries. It is my mid afternoon snack everyday. LOL I have Laurel eating it for her snack after school. She has lost 8 pounds recently. She is NOT overweight, but could slim up a little. She said I have been her inspiration.
March 13 It certainly has been an enriching two weeks for our pandas! Monday a week ago, they were plowing through the snow on their bellies, with the hills of their habitat providing the momentum for adding in somersaults and rolls. The excitement of the snow carried over into wild tree climbing and swinging, then down to the ground to get coated again. By Thursday, the temperature had shifted from below freezing cold to the sunny 70s, and snow-frosted pandas morphed into giant, dirty, mud sliders.
At the beginning of this week we added new logs to Panda Yard 1. Tai Shan got very excited as he watched the crane lowering the giant limbs into the exhibit. So far Tai is the first one to have the opportunity to explore these new furnishings. A bit shy at first, caution was soon replaced with exploration. The logs will provide exercise and resting places, and even a back rest for eating bamboo.
All the pandas continue to shred and consume bamboo at their maximum amounts typical of this time of year. Tian Tian takes time away from eating to show the typical breeding season or rut behaviors of pacing, investigating Mei’s scent marks, and marking over them. We are now seeing similar behaviors in Tai as he matures. Mei Xiang is in her own world, reminding the neighboring males that she is definitely not interested in their existence with her moans. We all watch Ms. Mei and wait expectantly for any change.
We want to say a special thank you to Pandas Unlimited for the funds to enrich our panda exhibits.
I know it sounds weird but I do forget to eat and I still have a weight problem. when I was working I was reminded by the clock. Now I just get going doing what I do and forget. My stomach doesnt remind me until way over time.I feel better now.
* Hi T-Bird * Hooray for the week-end, eh? ☺ and Hello Each and Every One Else ! Going to go view some of these pictures you are all talking about. Back after some Wonder Moments. xo
Anne-Marie Finney Water Nest link, did you get it? They are 6 or 8 hours ahead of us, was 7 before time change now I can't remember which it is... but sometime around 3 AM YOUR Time, daylight breaks over there.
Oh, that BW festival is tomorrow, was just thinking it was next weekend!
Taking a break, trying to get chores done before I head down the road tomorrow morning...spending the weekend in Mom's basement again, so I won't be around again til Sunday night.
Well this has the makings of a very exciting weekend 30 secs at a time or a very long weekend. I don't at all like long weekends. Since I work tonight I can pass some of it sleeping tomorrow :). Here's hoping for that excitement 30 secs at a time. Catch ya all sometime tomorrow.
Thoughts with you Paula I have a clue how this all goes for you but of course not there in your shoes. More than meets the eye though I would imagine.
OK Anne-M just checked emails, see you got the Finney link. I think they are 6 hours ahead of us...don't know if they do the time change ever at all...but they used to be 7 hours ahead before we changed OUR clocks. ☺
Actually, the basement cleaning has been kinda neat so far. We have found some things we hadn't seen in a long time, brings back lots of good memories. :)
Bedtime seems awfully close for me, so I better say Good Night Now... Sleep Sweetly those that get to stay in their own roosts tonight, and for those working, hope your bed welcomes you home with Open Pillows and Blankies in the Morning. xo God Bless Us, Every One
Hello again y'all! I see we apparently STILL don't have an eaglet....argh! Had a nice hour long phone conversation w/ my youngest. Haven't talked her since early in week....since she went to dayshift we don't have as much time to talk except on days her hubby is at work.
There must be sunsports or some other kind of celestial interference....having a hard time getting pages to load; also takes a long time to change channels on TV...those 'eeers probably score 4 pts. while I wait for it!! Also, blogger cop is alive and well.
Night, Mits! Lolly, I have the ladder...but it'sonly 18 ft....so you'll have to shimmy past that! Loretta, some guy was charged w/ cruelty...he was dogsitting someones' pit bull, and he was tired of messing with him...took him to the park--sign said Patuxent--and shot him. It was on the news last night.
Paula, lloked at Red's shot....do you think that Belle has given #1 a heave-ho? Good night...safe trip tomorrow...hope your brother is helping you...nostalgia is hard work and takes a lot out of you. God bless you.
Margy and I had a very nice spur-of-the-moment dinner with Wanda, the Captain, GeeGee and Denise. You saw us stuffing our faces! With a still-full tummy, and a long day behind me, I am going to crash now. See you all in the morning light....maybe tomorrow we will get our wish! Prayers for all.
Well, not just yet.....game tied up & heading into OT...Norma must be on the edge of her seat. Hope it's not a repeat of Syracuse' game last night....Hey, Norma...this game still has to mean ALOT...if they lose it, that's the end of their season, right??? Good luck!
I think I missed most everyone. I got to watch the nest action, but was on the phone. Sure looks interesting. I am slam wore out, off to bed. Norma, I hope WV wins!
I'm awake and so is Belle... Anne-Marie, if you check back in, the Finney nest is lightening up NOW - I was going backwards on your time said 3 AM and should have said anytime after about 9 pm YOUR time... Well, back to the sack for me - after I watch Belle for a few more minutes Sorry to see that WVU lost in OT :(

Nature I would like to have your critters instead of mine.
Belle is up and checking on eggs.

LOL I am not gonna say anything LOL
She had her back to me. couldnt see a thing
Kind of looking down under.
Bell seems antsie. doesnt settle down
pulling in grass around her
I'm not sure what she is doing Sharon
Belle just resting. BBL
Up again!
EAGLE UP
Was over at the food and then back to the egg cup!
And back in the cup.
I don't know if I should get my hopes up or not, Sharon! It sure seemed that way to me.
I know, Deb. I just figure if we report exactly what we see, then we cannot go wrong.
I have the still pic up on my laptop and my desktop computer and sometimes I get different views on refreshes.
I had a good view that time and only saw two eggs.
I have got to get something to eat. I forgot breakfast and lunch. BBL
How can you forget breakfast and lunch? lol
My stomach would be screaming by now.
I have 2 windows open also
I can forget breakfast, can't forget lunch...but when I get into doing something, sometimes lunch can come pretty late!
I forget a lot of things, but one thing I rarely forget to do is eat!
I just posted the picture of two eggs I captured a bit ago. It's on Red's photos.
I put some pictures up from today, Snow Geese and migrating eagles. One eagle nest!
BOTH
2 our nest!
Munching on the leftovers
Hmmm did we have a switch earlier?
Back and as you say both in our nest.
Hi Eagleland

Good Early Evening... Just signing on & it is great to see both in our nest
Looking at the pic Red....
Beautiful feathers
My oh My! What a beautiful display of the feather pattern
How ya doing Jo?
Hows PT?
I think we had a switch just a little earlier...
hello-
Looks like Belle eating and Lib on the eggs.
That's what I was thinking. Belle eats, Lib watches.
Nice to see you Jo ( : no hi and bye real fast nice.
Lib poofed
No view here...
Aha theres a view...see a dark spot
Back up/
Yeah, I see that.
I did, but don't want to get too excited again.
That looked like a dark spot on an egg, but I do not think we should try to guess anymore.
Doing pretty well - Just remembered to eat dinner lol Kidding of course. When you sit around watching tv, reading and not doing much of anything - you get HUNGRY! Limiting my carbos.. & calories.
Look at our eagle......... now
Pic on em blog...click to enlarge
Didn't see a thing except one egg showing
2 eagles again!
My favorite snack now, Jo, is strawberries or blackberries with light yogurt. Yummy!
Back again

Speaking of food, off to find some dinner.
Glad things are going well, Jo.
From BWE

We've updated the Eagle Cam Web Log with a new post about growing eaglets, Great horned owls, and our YouTube channel.
Jo, I have been getting Activia. I like the strawberry yogurt on strawberries and the vanilla yogurt on blackberries. It is my mid afternoon snack everyday. LOL I have Laurel eating it for her snack after school. She has lost 8 pounds recently. She is NOT overweight, but could slim up a little. She said I have been her inspiration.
Wish the red in the nest was not so quite red. Yuk!
Yes, I liked Lib looking right at us. He was sending a message for sure!
I have seen that one advertised. I am not a yogurt person but need to become one. Certain meds are raising my blood sugar...
Take care - I'll be back later
I am seeing a lot more color on the cam!!! Love it!
chicks peeking out from down under at BWE
Dinner ready back later
Oh yes Paula your fish was really hungry....I fed them they really ate. ( :

Another switch!
Who's on first?
I saw eggs but the glare was bad and I dont know how many
If he did, she doesn't want it right now.
I missed the switch, I don't know who's on first!
I think that's Lib on the eggs, now.
GAME: Find the BlackWater eaglets lol
LOL, Under Mom!!
beautiful closeup of eagle at HI
I know it sounds weird but I do forget to eat and I still have a weight problem. when I was working I was reminded by the clock. Now I just get going doing what I do and forget. My stomach doesnt remind me until way over time.I feel better now.
I think your right Paula. Belle fans out more.
Hey Jo, I really do see one! They really blend in well.
Hope the BlackWater Eagle Festival has a good turn out - it does call for rain..
My youngest is teasing me on facebook. Is eaglett a real word?
I really think it is Anne Marie
Eaglet is the spelling I use.... I don't really say chick
And if you prove me wrong THEN we need to add it to the dictionary lol
Proof of the word EAGLET
off to eat and watch TV..bbl.
later MITS

Oh, that BW festival is tomorrow, was just thinking it was next weekend!
Taking a break, trying to get chores done before I head down the road tomorrow morning...spending the weekend in Mom's basement again, so I won't be around again til Sunday night.
Boy, that Saline crew is getting a feast, I'd love some of that potato soup.
Well this has the makings of a very exciting weekend 30 secs at a time or a very long weekend. I don't at all like long weekends. Since I work tonight I can pass some of it sleeping tomorrow :). Here's hoping for that excitement 30 secs at a time. Catch ya all sometime tomorrow.
Thoughts with you Paula I have a clue how this all goes for you but of course not there in your shoes. More than meets the eye though I would imagine.
I see Batman and Robin at Saline.
Loretta, love the Osprey pictures! We have a while before they come through here.
Nice Osprey pics, Nature!
Are they ever going to have the cam back on the webpage??
Nice pics, Deb. That's what the geese look like in the fields around Blackwater, too.
Lib's asleep
Saline keeps switching out the toys...small pic tonight...not full screen for me
Hmmm, feed went dark at Saline

Grrreaaaat pictures, Loretta and Deb...even better that you got to see things with our own eyes!

OK Anne-M just checked emails, see you got the Finney link. I think they are 6 hours ahead of us...don't know if they do the time change ever at all...but they used to be 7 hours ahead before we changed OUR clocks. ☺
Bird is wiggling around some
The Adult at NCTC I mean
Eagle up!
Back down
Actually, the basement cleaning has been kinda neat so far. We have found some things we hadn't seen in a long time, brings back lots of good memories. :)
Been lurking----I keeping thinking----SOON!---BELLE & LIB--certainly know how to drive one NUTS!--ho!
WVU is playing SYRACUSE TONIGHT!!--
Promise not to get carried away again!!!---Game was to start at 9:00!----STILL HASN'T STARTED!!
Yeah, the old girl seems pretty active tonight...
again, we anticipate the morning and better viewing !
Paula I am still finding neat stuff from my parents' things, old pictures and letter and things....lots of history I wasn't even born for yet....
Eagle was up and back down...couldn't really see the eggs, night light too bright.
Yeah, that darn light makes it nearly impossible to see anything.
Bedtime seems awfully close for me, so I better say
Good Night Now...
Sleep Sweetly those that get to stay in their own roosts tonight, and for those working, hope your bed welcomes you home with Open Pillows and Blankies in the Morning.
xo God Bless Us, Every One
Margy, you can't go to bed yet. I just posted our dinner fun photos on Just for Fun. Take a look:)
Looks like a nice dinner!
Attractive crowd, each and every one of you! :)
Hello again y'all! I see we apparently STILL don't have an eaglet....argh!
Had a nice hour long phone conversation w/ my youngest. Haven't talked her since early in week....since she went to dayshift we don't have as much time to talk except on days her hubby is at work.
PAULA---I truly understand what you are going through!!---So many memories ---my mother kept every thing--
Catching up on blog and pics...Loretta, slow to load for some reason...anyway, while I wait...was the dog "execution" at that Patuxent Park?
I have looked at eagle eggs till I am blind!! C'mon Belle and Lib. Let's do tha thang!!
Great pics, Loretta!!!! Congrats on osprey return!
WHOA!--WVU is not playing well--
eagle awake, can't see anything..
There must be sunsports or some other kind of celestial interference....having a hard time getting pages to load; also takes a long time to change channels on TV...those 'eeers probably score 4 pts. while I wait for it!!
Also, blogger cop is alive and well.
Anne Marie, gotta say again that your spring activities are making me so jealous!!
Those little chicks at BWE are all snuggled together!!--so cool!
Oh, I wish we could see what was going on....
Did you all see RED'S pic?---It only shows 2 eggs!!
What is going on in the nest?
Belle is might restless tonight.
mighty that is
For the longest time the eagle was looking in the nest. Now is sitting sorta up high.
Love your pics, too, Deb. The three geese shot is a gem!
Great pics, Wanda. Looks like a festive dinner! You always remind me about crab legs which I pick up from store more frequently now! ☺
Game is still close, Norma!
Well, I think I am going to go climb the sycamore tree to see what is happening. Anybody want to go with me? :)
Still waiting for Red's pic to open.....duh...this is getting ridiculous. Think I'm going to have to reboot and see what happens...
Wonder if there will be another late night switch?
I'm with you, Sharon, let's go!
I'll hold the ladder, Sharon!! I'm such a klutz that I would probably fall if I tried to climb!!!
I enhanced Red's photo a little and you could just imagine there were two chicks.
To bad we can't induce hatching!
Wonderful pics, Deb. Never saw so many geese!
HEY PAULA!---You noticed!!---We are back in the game -- I think--We are ahead now!
Sharon, I'll go!! Rather go there than work in AM ☺
You guys hold, I'll climb! Probably get knocked off by a giant wing! LOL
We have a great group....meet you in the morn.....under the tree. Who's bringing the ladder?
Lynn, I just read back---never heard of a dog thing???!!!Doubt it was this Park---they are home on the range unless somebody calls the pound!
Daggone, Norma, they did jump ahead. Flipping between game and a movie and chores! Although, I'm done with the chores for tonight...
Now they are tied again.
Gotta finish some stuff before bed==if I don't get back, Pleasant Feather & Eaglet Dreams!! ☺
DEB!---Your photos are TOPS!!---Thanks---
GAME is back & forth--WV-50--SYR-47
PAULA -- How far away is your mother's home?----
good night everyone.
Night, Mits!
Lolly, I have the ladder...but it'sonly 18 ft....so you'll have to shimmy past that!
Loretta, some guy was charged w/ cruelty...he was dogsitting someones' pit bull, and he was tired of messing with him...took him to the park--sign said Patuxent--and shot him. It was on the news last night.
Hitting the hay, will check in tomorrow before I hit the road.
Hope WV wins, Norma.
Hugs to all ♥
Norma - 1 hr 15 min...not too bad.
Gnite!
NITE!---PAULA----They are ahead now!---This game didn't mean as much to me as the PITT game----That was personal for WVU!
Paula, lloked at Red's shot....do you think that Belle has given #1 a heave-ho? Good night...safe trip tomorrow...hope your brother is helping you...nostalgia is hard work and takes a lot out of you. God bless you.
Margy and I had a very nice spur-of-the-moment dinner with Wanda, the Captain, GeeGee and Denise.
You saw us stuffing our faces! With a still-full tummy, and a long day behind me, I am going to crash now. See you all in the morning light....maybe tomorrow we will get our wish! Prayers for all.
WVU--63 (overtime)
SYR---63
Well, not just yet.....game tied up & heading into OT...Norma must be on the edge of her seat. Hope it's not a repeat of Syracuse' game last night....Hey, Norma...this game still has to mean ALOT...if they lose it, that's the end of their season, right??? Good luck!
I think I missed most everyone. I got to watch the nest action, but was on the phone. Sure looks interesting. I am slam wore out, off to bed. Norma, I hope WV wins!
Night all.
SYR WON!!!---IN OVERTIME!
Nite Deb! Nite all!
Yes, I think things have been very interesting on the nest tonight. Guess we will find out things in the morning.
Eagle is still awake. Think I will go shower and come back and check.
I'm awake and so is Belle...
Anne-Marie, if you check back in, the Finney nest is lightening up NOW - I was going backwards on your time said 3 AM and should have said anytime after about 9 pm YOUR time...
Well, back to the sack for me - after I watch Belle for a few more minutes
Sorry to see that WVU lost in OT :(
Hi Lolly
Belle did an egg check about three minutes ago, only was on there for one refresh
G'night again
Thanks Margy, I'm watching... all is well
Hi Anne Marie and Margy, back from shower and she is still awake.
Whoops! Survived that split.
Did you make it?
Guess I am all alone over here. Sad!
