Someone mentioned feeding Debs' hamster...??? I was looking for something like Paulas' fish but didn't find anything; anyone know?
Thanks, Dana...still feeling poorly. Will have to call Dr. when office opens. Wish he'd just call in a script, but he never does.

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Gosh Hedgie get yourself to that Dr and get well soon. I can't find spider pictures or hamsters so you all are doing better than me. Haven't opened a cam yet. Think I need coffee and Dex needs a treat. Will check back in later.

Hey all... the spider pictures are on Deb's blog- under nest pictures. On her blog page there is an animated hamster on the right, you can put your mouse on the food container and feed him. Or make him run the wheel.

YOU HAVE BECOME A WOMAN!!!---LIFE IS GOOD!!--

normabyrd said...

GOOD FIRST DAY OF SPRING TO YOU JIM!!!!!!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

In all honesty Norma, I do feel like this is the best part of my life. Most stuff is not nearly as much of a struggle, probably because by the time we get to 50, we realize most of that stuff is not even important!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

It is the first day of Spring!! We can wear white now, right?

normabyrd said...

SHARON---It's a bit chilly here too!---32°---but the sun is so bright---it makes one feel it's 50°---ho!----

EarthCam is not the only sponsor of Zoo Atlanta’s PandaCam project; a generous gift from Mara Strock of Burke, Va., has taken care of the local server costs to operate PandaCam.

Well, thank you Mara:)

hedgie said...

Well, just as I knew...have to go to dr. office...he won't just call somethijg in...does he think I'm a dummy...for pete's sake, I'm a nurse. Real smart to take my germs into a waiting room of people on chemo w/ depressed immune systems.....sorry...just needed to rant. I think it's just all about the money...they don't care about how bad you feel, or what it takes to get ready, or the gas it takes to get there. I'm in a real good mood, aren't I?? LOL!

Mits said...

lol, Lynn:) get it off your chest.

hedgie said...

Thank you Mara from Burke, VA. Xi Lan and Lun are looking good...even if blue!!

hedgie said...

10 mins. is better than the previous 5! But does buffer occassionally during that time.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

KING OF THE MOUNTAIN!

hedgie said...

Thanks, Mits! Hope I literally do once I get those antibiotics into me!!!

If anyone is interested....I was curious about where exactly Finney over water nest is....and I found out!!

Assuming that this means it is at/near Turku: "Webcam installed in the Archipelago Sea (Saaristomeri Finnish) is a part of the Baltic Sea between the Gulf of Bothnia and the Gulf of Finland, Finnish within territorial waters. Work on The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), also known colloquially as seahawk, fish hawk or fish eagle. University of Turku. Turun yliopisto. Provyded TurkuAMK. "

Turku is in the southwest , and is west (slightly NW) of Helsinki.

movin said...

ZZ is also on display right now at SD.

I don't know if you read their blog recently, but they got a newer, bigger bamboo cooler, and it takes a lot of construction work to install it. So the Pandas are being moved more often to keep them away from the stress as much as possible. The camera numbers could be different from day to day.

Mits said...

think someone, maybe Suzanne, had researched that before, they have 4 other cams from that site, think I deleted them, but one is of the hoodies nest we have watched before.

Mits said...

cute videos with this post...

Thursday, March 19
As we move into broadcasting Xi Lan and Lun Lun to the world again via Panda Cam, we'd like to take moment to reintroduce you to a couple of old friends. Mei Lan, come out and take a bow. And Yang Yang... you just sit there and eat some bamboo, bud.

Mits said...

well guessing it is a fixed cam, with no sound, and if a keeper gets a chance to move it during the day, you will see the pandas.

hedgie said...

Right, Helen! Didn't know that Suz had looked it up.

Mits said...

boat going by at Finland nest

normabyrd said...

THANKS HEDGIE!!---I didn't know that----very interesting!!----I am glad you shared the info!---Have wondered!! WOW!!

normabyrd said...

SISSY---I know it freezes, et al---but LORDY--LORDY---I am filled with JOY just watching him---HE IS WHAT WE CALL-----WAYYYYY COOL!---

Mits said...

got some chores to do...bbl.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

We have a really clear pic on our eagle cam!

Mits said...

Friday, March 20
PandaCam is back! So please feel free to watch Zoo Atlanta’s panda family to your heart’s content. Be careful though, because too much PandaCam can result in excessive cooing, baby talk at your computer, and family meal discussions centered around Xi Lan’s newest adventures.

Don’t worry about missing what happens after PandaCam is turned off for the day, because we’ll be sure to keep you updated on all of Xi Lan’s behind-the-scenes moments. For example, today Xi Lan was strengthening his leg muscles by waltzing around on his hind feet. He held onto mesh of his den walls to balance himself as he took one step at a time, nearly circling the entire den this way. It was like he was scaling the ridge of a steep mountain! He then promptly followed his mother into the dayroom, probably eager to try his new technique on his favorite wooden structure. Or maybe he had worn himself out from the workout and he just wanted to take a nap.

hedgie said...

Getting ready to leave for Dr. Bill is due any minute to bring a stack of carpet samples--I use them for dog crate bedding. So better shut down for now. BBL.

Mits said...

eagle up

Mits said...

back down, eaglet peeked out and went back under.

Mema Jo said...

Good Afternoon All

Feasting my eyes on our Little Luney!
Your comments leading up to the cam coming on are quite enjoyable! So glad it has returned.

Great pic you got of the Fly In, Sissy!

Received news from the PA Falcon site we always watch.....
3/19/2009 :: Egg Watch
Over the past 9 years, this female peregrine falcon has been quite consistent in terms of when she lays the first egg of the season; within several days. Last year the first egg arrived on the 22nd of March. This year we should expect this to happen sometime this weekend or early next week. For the past three years the female has laid a full clutch of five eggs. In terms of habitat and the overall health of this nesting pair, this is a good indicator. Egg production is directly related to nutrition, the availability of food and the ability of a healthy pair to attain and metabolize it. Rachel’s falcons appear to be on task and moving toward another successful nesting season.

Eagle up our nest....fluffy showing...

paula eagleholic said...

Finally got on Norfolk thru the website..couldn't get on thru WMP...

paula eagleholic said...

NBG pic pretty much frozen on website...

deb said...

Eagle up!

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle gone our nest

deb said...

Hi, everyone, I am home. Not a Prairie Chicken to be found. We did find lots of other birds, though.

paula eagleholic said...

Well, she's finally back on the live feed, in front of the chick...on the back of the nest in the still pic

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like lunchtime for chicklet

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, well, Deb. What's the temp there today?

deb said...

It is 54 here today with 15-25 mile winds. If you can stay out of the wind, it isn't bad. It is cloudy and spitting rain.

Mema Jo said...

lol Paula!

I was calling our little one "FLUFFY" !

paula eagleholic said...

Lib back with a stick

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, that might have been Belle back with the stick! Looks like she is on chicklet now...

Mema Jo said...

Time for another nap!

paula eagleholic said...

HaHa Jo!

Sounds about like here today, but no spits of rain, and not as windy...just cloudy, damp and cool.

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm she was really up and watching something...back down and still watching...

paula eagleholic said...

Now she's up moving the fat stick on the opposite end of the nest.

Mema Jo said...

I thought with Live Feed we wouldn't see any sudden movements like I just saw..
She just sorta was turned around without seeing her turn..........

Mema Jo said...

Zoo's flamingos seem to have made it through the mild winter! They sure are
pink!

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, Jo, it's like stop and start on the live feed..or slow motion.

Mema Jo said...

DEB I just fed your hamster a snack! Hedgie wants to know the link where you find things such as your hamster and Paula's fish!

Mema Jo said...

I have a dietitian coming to the house. I best get ready!

BBL

deb said...

I found my hamster through Paula's fish. I will have to go searching again, Jo. As soon as I find it, I'll post it. Unless Paula has it!

deb said...

That was easy:

Gadgets

deb said...

Ooh, Jo, there are turtles on there. :)

paula eagleholic said...

Eating time again, our nest

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I didn't see any sign of an egg just now, did you all?

deb said...

Major flooding expected in ND this month:

FARGO, N.D. – Work has started on a dike to protect downtown Fargo against what could be a record flood, and volunteers are busy at ’sandbag central,’ with machines used to fill an estimated 5,000 sandbags an hour.

The latest projections from the National Weather Service say the Red River is expected to crest between 37 feet and 40 feet, during a period from March 28 to April 1.

A 40-foot crest is 22 feet above flood stage and about a half-foot higher than the historic 1997 spring flood.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Evening Eagleland Folks.
I've caught up on comments and have Little Luney on...for some reason I thought that had sound...where have I been?

Deb I love your hamster and Paula you know I love your fish. I always feed them. Now I have to help care for Debs hamster. lol

Didn't read of any new hatchings.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Is our Hosslet eating again?

deb said...

Two eagles in OK.

wvgal_dana said...

I remember seeing a comment where Indiana Dave said a bald eagle was shot. I thought someone said it was going to make it and use for educational. I just read where it had to be put down:

BALD EAGLE SHOT WAS PUT DOWN

paula eagleholic said...

Wow Deb, time to start filling the sand bags!

Dana - I haven't heard of any new hatches either except one...someone thought they saw 3 chicks now at Caltrans, but no pics to confirm...

hedgie said...

Oh, Dana, that is really a crying shame. Sure do hope they catch those responsible.
Antibiotics in my system...hope they are gobbling up germs the way the fish and hamster gobble up food. Thanks for link, Deb!!!

Mema Jo said...

Thanks for letting me feed the turtles, Deb! lol

Mits said...

love the fish and the hamster

Mema Jo said...

Thanks for the follow up story of the Bald Eagle.. So sorry he couldn't be saved.

Mits said...

thank God they put it out of its misery, I think in the very beginning they were hoping for an optimistic ending as far as for rehabilitation,so it could be used for educational purposes.

Mema Jo said...

Hedgie - Hope you're feeling better by tomorrow.

Mits - Feed the turtles (Deb's pictures)

Paula - enjoy your weekend!

I am going in to recliner and put my leg up before it is dinner time.
