Speaking of panda cubs being so small, reminds me of the tape we saw of Lun Lun giving birth to XL...why, you would have thought that baby weighed 25lbs:)
Colors really coming in nice on the cam...
BTW, Steve, Don't think we have told you lately how great our cam is!!
She needs to go to the camera and flap her wings to get that smudge off of there.
yes it is amazing of the panda cubs size when born...have not looked at PA in last hour, but sound was up and loud when I was there Paula...
I have joined the walking wounded, had a terrible fall on my way to panda house yesterday, think ribs are bruised, not broken, have difficulty breathing sometimes, Aleve has not helped the pain, so just took a real pain pill....I am such a klutz:(
I have returned and Another Split!!!
Those Speed Racers are cool dudes! Great pics Lollie - looks like great fun!

Full family in the nest in Decorah

News from Nest Cams-Wood Duck Greenville TX
Taking Care
Apr 29, 2009 -
The female wood duck is covering her eggs with wood chips and feather down before leaving the box. The eggs should hatch around the 2nd of May.
That smudge could be a
Smunched Spidey
I guess I started it all.
Sharon so glad you got your legs check and that is good news concerning your iron! They are going to study you!!
Mits if by tomorrow you can't move very fast, go get your ribs wrapped so you breathe better.
At least we are all still alive to talk about it - Yepper like you said Mits -
Our Guardian Angels were looking over us.
I was just walking minding my own business....good thing guardian angel pushed me further to the left so I landed on the grass, got a bump om my left side of head, but no bruises....it crushed the soda can in my bag I was carrying...

Technical Note
We're having issues with the image updating, and we're working to fix it.
Egg Alert!
We now have three eggs. Technically a fourth could come in three days, but since this is a new couple, we kind of hope they stop at three.
BWO pic is from 7:11 this morning....I looked earlier today, couldn't see the 3....
MIts, sorry to hear that! Enjoy the pain pill, if you can!
Horrible story about the eagles. Deb they did catch a person one time but he got what I would call a slap on the wrist.
See I didn't drop her on her head she fell. Think you should have those ribs x-rayed NOW.
thanks, Paula, lets see how I am tomorrow, Ceil:)
Norma I saved a lilac bush today. Neighbor is having a parking pad put in and I have always admired her lilac bush. Saw it laying in the dirt and went up and asked if she was going to replant it. She said no. So she and I carried it down the alley. Waiting for Jim to come home and help me put it in a pot.
going to lie down for awile...bbl
my lilacs are beautiful this year, don't think my newer one will bloom though
Mits, I am so sorry to hear of your injury. Sounds like my klutziness has rubbed off on you other three gals. You really do need it checked.....they say that bruised ribs are worse than broken, but I take issue with that!! I broke one in Nov. '07 just from coughing. The pain was awful. They don't wrap ribs anymore....can lead to increased risk of pneumomia!
Know that you are resting now with your pain med working, Helen, but when you check back in, know that I sent up a special prayer for you!
Sharon, good blood count! Keep up the good work! Have they said anything about weekly or monthly B12 shots?
Ceil, cool about the lilac. Mine doesn't appear to be developing any blooms...this is it's 2nd spring.
Saw a shed-sized bush bull-dozed once near where I used to live....it was too close to the road for the Dept. of Highways....heartbreaker.
423 comments so far today? ya'll are goin' crazy!
i just bopped in to say i'm almost certainly gonna be checking out the nest tree on this coming monday. forecast is for "a few showers," but, if so, so be it! if hidey can take it, so can i.
i told my coworkers it's as good a destination for a pilgrimage as many.
Dave Hancock (HI) says that he's had thousands of nest observations and has only seen three hatchlings twice. Does he mean in Canada....or everywhere...and were the two OURS, I wonder???!!
He must mean with his own eyes...NBG had 3 twice...we had 3 twice....Caltrans, Duke, IA all have 3....he'd better wake up
Nice wingersizes our nest!
catch ya'll later...
Good for British Columbia/Canada:
B.C. is home to approximately 20,000 bald eagles, which are included in Canada's protected species list.
At the time of the first conviction the charge was $50,000 and up to six months in jail. Those penalties were raised to $250,000 and two years in jail under changes to the Wildlife Act earlier this year.
ltl, good for you....tell them it's a BETTER destination than many!!! So Steve okayed everything? Great!
Well, this thread actually started last evening around 7:30!
Where in VA are you going to be over the weekend? And where are you coming from?
yep, hedgie, steve said i'm good to go. just ask the guard where to go and not go. :)
i have buddies in winchester i'm joining for their annual apple blossom festival party. won't be making it this trip to my old haunts in baltimore, or d.c. or in between, or on the Sho'.
Hope you have a great weekend, ltl---Lisa, right? How long have you been away from the metro area? WOuld you beleive in all my 60 yrs. of DC, VA and WV living, I've never gone to the Apple Blossom Festival? And only to our Apple Harvest Festival twice....once when eldest daughters'band was marching, and second time when youngest was the ROTC Princess and was riding on a car in the parade.
it's lisa, right. :)
i lived in baltimore for a little more'n a dozen years after college. left right before the turn of the century.
i've never been to the apple blossom to-do either.
Hey everyone,
My computer died. I have a brand new laptop now. Although I am new to this site, I have missed reading all the comments. I love watching Hidey. That bird just makes my day! Yes, I am a southern West Virginian! Love my state!
Glad to see you back in action, Bibee!
Lisa, where are you now?
Bibee, where in WV? Our southern delegation is growing!
I am home from work, but headed out to do a little mowing.
Local (CharlesTown) 84 Lumber (vacant; recently moved to new location) under renovation caught fire and was destroyed today when a welder caught a birds' nest on fire on the roof.
Ch. 25 news for local yokels!
Just read about the latest injury, bubble wrap for everyone! Hope you are feeling better with the pain pill, Helen.
I live close to Mullens in a little community named Stephenson. I do appreciate all the warm welcomes frome everyone. I went to beakspeak. Wow! What do you all watch the most? I am just amazed at all the birdcams. Also, do you watch a panda somewhere? Didn't really know where to look for that one. I will have empty nest syndrome when Hidey flies. I can't take my eyes off of her!
i live in ann arbor, michigan these days.
Oh yeah, the 441 comments is since yesterday morning!
Oops! Sorry for sending the last comment twice. I'm not used to this computer but so far I LOVE it!
We watch pandas at the National zoo, the Atlanta zoo and the San Diego zoo...
Is the sound on at our nest???
We watch all the eagle nests....everyone has their favorites, but mostly watch Iowa, Oklahama, Oregon, California, Hornby Island, Duke, and numerous osprey cams - Connecticut, Hilton Head, Puleston in NY, Maine, etc.
Oh, and Norfolk eagles nest to....
And Blackwater, osprey and eagles...
I could go on and on...
Out to play with the doggies!BBL
Yep, Paula covered a lot of them. Also stork nests in Europe, and a loon nest in Maine---most incredible sound they make! We also catch Big Rig Steve--he's a trucker w/ a dash cam! And then there's Mardi Gras cams, beach cams, a volcano cam, etc. We could go on and on! If anything strikes your fancy, you can do an internet search or we can give you links!
Momster Mits is a volunteer cam operator at the National Zoo Panda exhibit, as well as a guide on the Asian Trail!
Last season we watched Minnesota Live Loon Cam we loved it just click on blue link....Loon on egg now....chicks will ride on parents back in the water...
Minnesota Live Loon Cam Remember last season the man that puts the platform out for the Loons. Had to chance a guy in a boat away. Plus a guy in a blue truck.
And don't forget the Jeffersoncam in Bluefield!
And then there are the Falcon cams - Wildlife in the woods cams - African animals & birds - We are so full of cams
lol
Bibee - if there is a small trash can on your blog page at the end of your comment - To Delete A Comment click on
it. Then confirm you want to delete & they go to the bottom of that screen & click on Post A Comment.
Back from a nice trip at DMV yes Lynn only 20 minutes in and out. Got my monkey picture lol
Mits I was going to say they don't wrap ribs anymore but Lynn I see already covered that. Truly you should be seen. A rib you don't think is cracked just bruised. Can be cracked without you knowing it and puncture your lung.
Sharon so so glad they took care of your legs!!
I meant Minnesota, not Maine--thanks, Dana! Oh, and the African safari cam!
WOW, look at that big bird!! Looks like he/she's nibbling something.
Good Evening Everyone!
Not been on much this week & had eye Dr. appt. today, so have been mostly blind from drops!But can't miss Hidey!!☺
Gotta russle up some dinner....
BTW, Paula I got your flower eagle in a card from a friend! Love it!!
Can't believe how lucky you were, Dana....20 mins. Unheard of....guess they finally got their act together! Last time I had to go in person (think it was last year) I used drive-thru' and it only was 5 mins. I was shocked!
Lynn make sure you take electric bill with your right address on. Yes even to renew driver license.
ABOUT LARRY'S LOONS
Good Grief! Just read back.....
Helen, did a Panda push you???
That must be so painful, maybe you should get an Xray. Prayers for you. ☺
Hello all....Been busy for the last couple days but have been checking in on Hidey. So is it just my eyes or is there a smudge on the camera? Remains from Spidey?
It is a smudge. Wishful thinking that would only be remnants left of Spidey. I think all of Spidey is still there! ;)
Maybe Hidey had bad aim. :)
Rib injuries are so painful. Hurts to move anything and hurts with every breath. They don't wrap them anymore because that can cause pneumonia. Breathing keeps it irritated but that is pretty much necessary in order to keep living! :)
Both adults were just in our nest, back to one.
Sharon how many now are in the Southern Delecation?
Lisa You have an email
Bibee - Would love to have you become a
yahoo Eaglet Momster/Dadster! Open this home page - last site down on the right.
This is where all the emails, links, photos and lots more can be found.
Well, we have Sara in Beckley, Bibee in Mullens and me, Sissy and Mattie (and Thelma still counts for here) in Bluefield.
Wow your going to have to have a meeting half way sometime. With all of them.
Dinner time in our nest - you know it's
the meal before night light & bedtime
Adult is doing well by Hidey!!
WHOA! Tug of War with that large piece
I am really thankful we didn't have as
much rain as forecasted the past couple days! As long as Megan got enough - that will do it!
Sharon is going to rent a bus and we'll see them all Oct 17th at Open House!
Now that is a plan!!
I don't have sound on our cam......
Saturday there is an open house free to public at the Three Rivers Avian Center located in Brooks, WV. Brooks is between Sandstone and Hinton. You can view their website for all details. They are a rescue center for birds of all descriptions. I've been looking forward to this and hope to be able to attend. Have any of you ever been there?
I would love to meet them.
Sara, I am going to check into that. Maybe we can come on Saturday. More will be revealed.
Already have electric bill in truck w/ renewal form, Dana!!!
Hi, Loretta!!! Check email from me in response to one you sent last week!
It looks like it is not far off of Rt. 20. That really might be doable!
So Larry is saying that eagles steal loon eggs??? Hard to believe!!!
I am going to email Steve about the sound on our cam...
Did you see the pics of the loon egg-laying on Larry's blog??? Cool...dark-colored egg...guess normal for them.
I'm not sure Lynn but it seems last season the way the light shined on them they looked "golden". I remember we were kidding about the loon that laid the golden eggs.
I have sound on our cam, it is mostly a hum though and I had to turn it up.
I haven't been to the Avian center in Hinton but I have been to two shows by the owners and the birds. The shows are wonderful. I was just truly amazed at how pretty the birds are. It is worth seeing all those beautiful birds!
Thanks for telling me about the little trash can. I deleted the one comment that I posted twice. Silly me! Also, I don't have any sound on my computer either for Hidey. And yes, I will join the Eaglet Momsters group! Thanks for the other cam sites. I will surely look at them. Anyone going to the show on Saturday at the avian center?
Okay, somebody needs to take a water hose to the sycamore tree, hook up one of those bottles of Windex that you can spray on windows with the hose to clean the lens.
Bibee, it is possible that I may go Saturday.
I have a million and 43 cowbirds out here. I also have Mr. and Mrs. Grosbeak. They are so beautiful! The cowbirds are just obnoxious and puff up all the time.
If all goes as my husband and I have planned we will be going on Saturday. His job requires him to be on call one weekend and guess which weekend it is....this one. But we usually know early if he would need to be out.
Bibee...what school did you retire from?
Nice release story out of Wildlife Center of VA - where Buddy is...
Ratty Eagle released
Hidey was just ducking her head for some reason.
Might be the damp weather affecting the sound...I can usually hear something! Can't hear a thing...
I am glad they found that eagle, Paula, and were able to release it.
Some kind of bird just landed on the left side of the nest, down on the side a little bit.
WHOO HOO!
Another one hits the Nest!
WELCOME BIBEE
Going to watch BONES
BBL in one hour
Our whole family in the nest!
Well with Mom and Dad there "No Body Bothers Hidey"
I bet Sara got it right......I think Hidey did exactly what I've been afraid he was going to do....poop shoot the cam lens!!
Both adults our nest...Lib just took off the back
LOL Hedgie - I thought she was talking about Spidey poop shooting! Maybe she was talking about Hidey
Belle is really digging into that nest!
It's def on the lens...not in the web...hasn't moved at all. Belle is fluffing up the covers...or bed!
Did anyone know or already comment that Hi 2nd baby eaglet is named "Echo".
Wouldn't it be cool if Sharon, Sissy, Thelma and Mattie could meet up w/ Sara and Bibee??? "This could be the start of something big" as the song goes!!
I am really disappointed that nannydary never came back on....and never answered my email. But then...she's never answered a single one I've sent about rtiree functions in the last 4 yrs., either. So....maybe it's ME!
Cool, Dana...didn't know it hatched! Tried to watch earlier, but couldn't see under MA
Gotta go walk the doggies....bbl
Sharon...if you think you may go on Saturday I'll check back with you tomorrow evening and we can plan to meet there.
Whoa, two confirmed cases of swine flu in Virginia!
Hey Sharon, I am getting one of those Windex thingys for GeeGee's windows. I'll see what I can do at the nest ;)
I retired from glen fork elementary school in wyoming county with 21 years of experience. Not old enough to draw retirement so I had to draw all my retirement out so that we would have something to live on. I got my disability in August 2008. Since I am so new to this, how can you tell Liberty and Belle apart? Please bear with me while I learn all this bird talk!
There are some great pics of Buddy on his birthday Monday, mantling over his "special birthday bluefish"---check it out on this page of the Center's site:
Buddy's Birthday
Bibee -- my mother and father in law both work for the wyoming county bd of ed. Do you know Butch Thorn?
Yes, I know Butch & Karen Thorn. He works for the maint. dept. and she is an aide, right?
Bibee, Belle is the larger of the two adults. Paula can usually tell them apart by the pattern of their neck feathers, but I can't!
I looked at Buddy's birthday. That was too cute. I was reading all the info to my hubby about his surgery. Neat!
yes butch works for maint. dept and Kathy is an aide at mullens grade school.
Sara and Bibee, I have family that teaches in Wyoming County!! My niece Brenda Shumate is a teacher (can't remember where) and her husband Terry teaches at Wyoming East.
It is a very small world indeed!
My niece teaches at Glen Fork Elementary and middle school!
Brenda just said she knows Butch and Karen Thorn.
watching grey's anatomy and checking the computer. my husband says he knows terry. it is a small world.
I am pretty sure that LW eagle is feeding two eaglets. Darn tree!
I just checked in at Maine and there are two eaglets at Lake Washington. I am off to relax for a while tonight. I might drop back in for a bit later.
Wow, it's amazing ya'll know each other through friends and relatives!
Love Buddy's fish pictures. Did you see how many mice he's eaten?
Belle is larger than Liberty. She is also darker in color. Also, Lib has more of his tail feathers showing than Belle does.
Belle also has more of an upside down V in her fron neck feathers
Can't hardly even tell there is an adult in the nest with Hidey.
Adult looks like an Eagle Spirit!!!
So we have Hope and Echo? Thanks for the info.
I just marvel at how Small our Worlds are when we find even a small connection!
So glad you all are joining us here!
Need to take some meds... No pain killers just antibiotics....
BBIAF
Hey Sharon, what kind of bird is your avatar now?
Rose-breasted grosbeak.
There isn't an adult in the nest! Ya'll must be on some good meds...
Thanks, Sharon. I am pretty clueless on id'ing birds!
There is not an adult now but there was one at 2 o'clock, took off. I haven't taken any hallucinogens!
:) ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
Both osprey at Finney Water
One osprey at Finney Land
Raccoon party in the PA woods.
There is a daily visitor to daughter's feeder It is the Rose-breasted grosbeak
She ways it's beautiful and now I know why!
The female grosbeak is brown and white with yellow under her wings. She is so beautiful and her movements just seem so graceful.
OK, Sharon and Jo, glad ya'll aren't hallucinating!
Not hallucinating today anyway! :)
Back to say Good Night I guess. Pleasant Feather Dreams to all those hitting the hay.
Saw some TV ☺ eye drops wore off finally!!!
Yesterday at work got to check HI & saw little grey fuzzy next to egg--adorable. Checked them & OK around 6PM tonight & seems cams are out.
Good Night Loretta...Rest well and pleasant dreams.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE...
PLESANT DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Good evening! Have been watching Grey's and Private Practice while trying to catch up on the blog. Hard job! Also, was watching HI and finally saw both chicks. So cute!
Mits! So sorry for your fall. Hope that pain pill has helped.
More schools and activities being cancelled in our area. Laurel said two schools have closed now in her district.
Good Night to everyone! Be back in touch with everyone tomorrow. Sweet Dreams!
G'night Wanda and Loretta. I think Mits turned in...email said she was feeling worse now than earlier....wish Jay would take her to ER.
Headed down the hallway to bed
Good Night All

When you go look at my blog "Speed Racer" be sure to click on "older posts" and the end of the first page of pictures. There are more pictures of Speed Racer. :)
Good night, Bibee!
Whew, Lolly.....Grey's made me cry and P.P. will have us wondering for many months to come!
Weather report not sounding too good for the weekend....iffy...chance of rain every day and night---raining here right now again. I got my housecleaning done today. Have retiree breakfast in the am, homeowners assn. mtg. Sat. pm, and church concert Sun. pm...really chopped up schedule! Don't really like having to go out so many days in a row. Oh well, it is what it is!
Nighty-night, Jo!
Thanks, Lolly...missed them the first viewing! Do you know that doing what you did normally costs a couple of hundred bucks???!!! LUCKY gal! What did you think of my feat???
Heading for the tub...early morning so I won't check back in tonight. A very good night to all who do. Prayers for all.
Lynn, I think your feat was great! However, that is something I probably would not have done. LOL
I have been on facebook, loading the pictures to it to share.
Nite all! Heading to bed!
Sweet dreams!

It's almost the weekend already...
Hidey is blowing zzzzzzzz's roughly in the middle of the nest and head pointing to 11 o'clock.
Jim
Morning all! Hidey just did a poop shoot that just about sent her flying forward over the edge!! She is so big and gawky!
Good morning, there's a
*** NEW THREAD ***
jIM
GOOD MORNING EE SISSY AND ALL OTHER MOMSTERS AND dADSTERS WHO ARE GOING TO GET ON HEERE TODAY. TGIF! We made it throught another week!!!! I have only about thirty more days of school left. I think the kids get out the 10th of June and I have to work just the following Thursday and Friday to get the room straightened up.
Finally went home last night and pulled the new computer out of the box and set it up. My husand came in and finished the joy, making sure I had connected it right. He said he can get Yahoo, sooooooooo here I come again. I can't wait to try it tonight after school.
Sorry to hear that MITS had a fall. I was just wondering if they were back from their trip yet or not. Hope she takes care of herself.
I see we have two new people on here; Sara and Bibee. Welcome aboard. You couldln't find a better group of people than these people.
I see Hidey is just stirring on the nest. Boy is he getting big. Guess he must have had his breakfast a little earlier. I seem to come in at school when he is napping.
Well, the kids are going to be here in a few, so I had better get on the ball! You all have a good day blogging and watching and a SUPER WEEKEND!
