Good morning!! Thanks Norma and Steve! Tom said there was ice on his windshield when he went to work from his mom's this morning. That means all the flowers we planted for her probably got bit!! BUMMER! The thermometer here says 34.7 at my house, 39 at the Mercer County Airport. It is too late in the year for this!!!!
Good chilly morning! Just heard about the CA quake...so relieved to know that our SoCal delegation is okay---how 'bout that? Movin' Jim didn't feel a thing!!! Glad that you and Andrea are both fine!

Hope YOU have a good one, Mits! Any plans for the day? Did you sleep well after your good dinner and a few drops of the vino??? AND having jubby home!?!
please send up a prayer. I have a great-grand baby in Egleston (childrens) hospital. Chronic cough. the lung specialist is coming in today..GOD answers prayers.....
GA Girl we are certainly praying for that baby! Someone said on here that God does little outside of prayer and I believe that!! Mits, how are you feeling, better?
West Virginia Day is June 20, my twin brothers' birthday!!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE... Birth of the baby elephant was intersting....looked like Mom was trying to push the other young elephant out of they way. Am wondering why they let the young one in there...looked like it nearly stepped on the baby.
GA-GIRL, I am sure your GG baby will have the prayers of all of us til it is well again. Prayers for you too!
MORNIN' MITS---I need to go back & see what you had for dinner! ho!--GREAT to see you are feeling better!----HOW IS MM?---Is CEIL calling the Dr. this am?---Continuing Prayers----
LOL!!!! When Sissy can't hear the tape she needs to just buckle down and turn volume off on all cams!!! Wonder if Steve is back to work from his vacation/holiday?! Hey, Dana! How's Ed this am? And you, of course!
Norma he is still sleeping. So don't know yet if I'll have to phone dr. Thanks for asking.
WOW thank you Lynn on the link for baby elephant. I was trying to get it. Had a lot of commericals. Click on the page to watch. Wonder why that other elephant was in there? My SisterIL loves elephants. I'll send the link to her.
Lynn I'm still tired. Just everything has worn me out. Very thankful for the Lord above. Carries you through all. Hoping to get back into more action..like warm water again soon.
Wanda, I do have pictures, but it will take me awhile to get through them. I was too tired to look last night. We hiked a lot, so didn't take my camera everywhere.
I have a black cocker spaniel. She 'perches' on the edge of the bed in the mornings while I get ready for work. She reminds me so much of Hidey's perching. I almost call her Hidey..
'MIRACLE' is a 'TRIP' this am!!--We should sell tickets!---She is movin' sticks -- must be preparing for a nest! ho!---Lifting sticks & moving to the other side of the nest!!-----i think i am in love!--
Norma on another thread Megan had warned everyone about covering their plants. So I too pray she didn't loose any. Bet she is busy busy uncovering them for the sun.
MORNIN' PAULA!---I think MIRACLE is on 'something' this am---She hasn't settled yet!---love her!--What will we do for entertainment when she fledges????
GOLLY--GOLLY---DEB!----'ONLY' 61? When I grow up --- I want to be just like you!!---ho!---I truly envy you--I agree with WANDA--thank you for sharing with us--
61 is low for this time of year, the wind just kept things hunkered down. We had 110 for the weekend, I think. I will finish the rest of the lists later.
DANA!---SATURDAY----I saw the MAMA EAGLE feeding her EAGLET at the OREGON SITE!!---CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?---The pic is grainy--but it was a beautiful thing to see!!!
Hello all:) All is fine here, tender plants in garden are all covered with floating row cover, and I'm just leaving it on today cause tonite looks to be in the 30's and clear, and possibly tomorrow nite too. Stayed somewhat cloudy here last nite so we dodged the bullet. Mondays are rough, I move like a turtle, I am exhausted and could use about 3 more hours sleep. Kid is home not feeling well, and I gotta get out and water the GH, peonies need to be picked, and sunflower seeds need to be sown. at least the sun is shining, wish the wind would stop.
MORNIN' MEGAN!---I wish I could help---maybe if I lived closer!--Keeping you in my thoughts--The wind hasn't hit our area yet!!--Watching a yellow finch---wow!---
Hey Norma, might not wanna be here on Mondays, that's 'fish emulsion day' in the GH- it's gonna reek out there. I'm off to fertilize and hope I don't get it all over me, which I usually do, then the dog follows me around til I change my clothes. Have a great day all:)
Hi everyone. Caught a glimpse of Hidey wingercizing ...my heart was in my throat so thought ummm I think I will just go write my Blog. I can't watch this year. It has seriously gotten to me the last few weeks. FTLOE Blog is definitley way down in new threads. There will be a couple omore to deal with webcams this season but that will be it.
There are 85 subscribers though and I had been wondering why not much if any response from Bloggers over here. It was brought to my attention yesterday (((((Dana))))) that some of you that I think are gettign the feed are not getting it for whatever reason.
There is a photo on there right now that I really think you all would love to see so I came over to send an invite to take a peak at some point. Its not my photo. But I bet you will enjoy it...
Good morning! 53 here earlier, up to 67 already. Another absolutely beautiful day! Plan to spend it all outside....but first the coffee and my friends!
What a lovely pic, Glo! Compliment your friend for me!! NOT birds of a feather...or Open Nest Policy! Meeting daughter for lunch so better go hustle. Puter is giving me lots of trouble today anyway, so will let it rest for awhile! BBL!
had a call from my daughter. John-John has been taken down for a test of his air way.He is still a sick little guy. My daughter and grand-daughter are both tired. thanks for all your prayers.. please keep them coming
morning again everyone...caught up on emails....GG prayers for you little one.....remember zoo will turn off the cams if they think a birth is imminent, don't know when they will be turned back on
also please remember, Mei will do the exact same things, nesting, licking, cradling, even if she is NOT pregnant...so it is what it is til we have a positive outcome or they see something on a ultra-sound, which I'm thinking she has not had in a few weeks
at the time that Tai was born, whether it was live I don't remember, but there was video of the birth....Animal Planet had bought the rights to his birth, they are no longing affiliated with NZ, so if there is a birth the zoo wants the exclusive rights for raising money for conservation of giant pandas, they don't want the live event all over you-tube and other places.
my question to my cam boss was how do we know when to turn the cam off, and he says someone else does it, not sure who, but I agree with the zoo, they need to constantly raise money for the care and conservation of all the animals they are trying to save from extinction
LOL! You'd think working for the gov't I would be up on acronyms! Thanks for the definitions and for the lesson on eaglet manners! I'm going to miss Hidey when she finally does fledge!
Hi Margy. Gabriela, this is all a learning process. Some us have been here since 2006 so when we started we had to learn everything from each other. I have learned so much over the last 4 eaglet seasons.
Oh yeah, I thought LOL was Lots of Love, but then someone had to tell me it means Laugh a Lot..or maybe it is Lots of Laughs...... then there is LAWL - which is Laughs a Whole Lot.
See? I wrote the book on Pulling a Margy, and Ceil is my co-author!
One time I was watching the nest (when we had 3 babies in it). Saw something moving in the nest and they had brought a turtle to the nest and of course it had gone into its shell. I guess when the turtle thought it was safe, it came back out of the shell. It was not a pretty site. Imagine being a turle and coming out of the shell, looking around and your butt is laying in an eagle's nest. Not much hope there! :)
The parents' instinct to know when to stop feeding and when to start dropping food in the nest so the eaglet can learn, this stuff just blows my mind! The big stick was brought in for talon strengthening exercises. How do they know this stuff? They don't even have a checklist to look at! :)
My indigo bunting was out here again yestesrday but I haven't seen him today. I feed birds on my roof right outside of my window where I work. Looked out there yesterday and saw a really strange bird - in the form of a chipmunk. Climbed up the holly tree and jumped right onto the roof.
if that chipmunk is not careful he might end up being eagle take-away! I had a red-shouldered hawk in my yard yesterday and as i watched from my sunroom i saw him/her swoop down on something in my irises - either a small mammal or baby bird and fly off with it - a pair of bluejays squawking and divebombing all the way!
I have had hawks here too. They use my birdfeeders as bait boxes. I chase them off when I see them. I know they have to eat too but they can do it at somebody else's house! :) I have crows in a tree out here and the grackles have been all over them, chasing them away.
My daughter works for a medical supply co out of Tallahassee. I tell everyone that she sells body bags.. that is her biggest seller. I have gone to coroners conventions with her before. I also work for a Hospital
Hi, everyone! I'm checking in late here; slept in to catch up after blogging so late last night, then getting up early to get Hubby off to work! Not surprised Jim didn't feel the quake while in the car-- has happened to me before, too. Glad all is OK. GA-GIRL, so sorry to hear your ggbaby is in the hospital! Prayers being said for healing! Timed it right when signing on this am-- got to see Hidey being fed something furry (eew!). Hedgie, thanks for the link to the baby elephant! Just adorable! Costume Lady, I tend to agree with you, tho, that the other baby elephant was getting way too close to the new one.
hey all. word from the hospital. John-John has a restricted airway, and the croup. they are monitoring him right now.He also has asthma. He was a year old last week and always has a smile on his face. even when he is sick. Thanks for all your prayers. YOU ARE ALL NUMBER ONE IN MY BOOK... KEEP YOUR PRAYERS COMING.
I type pathology reports but I have only gotten to type 1 autopsy. Very interesting! We went to the gross anatomy lab while I was in transcription school and that was really interesting.
GA-Girl, I know from personal experience how powerful the prayers from this blog are. I have been through a lot since joining this blog and these people are so wonderful. I am so grateful to have been blessed with the friends I have here.
yep. the conventions are.. she has to be there for a couple hours in the morning, noon, and then close.. but it is the places she goes that I like.. out of state. I always go for the sites. and when it is just us two.. we have a really good time. although Lisa has met some really interesting people.. like Dr Lee
That is good news about John-John! Sounds like things can all be fixed or at least kept in tact! I know what you mean about "Smile on his face no matter what" Must be for sure a little angel.
I am watching our very intelligent panda MEI! She was able to get that very very long piece of Bamboo through the door and into the birthing den. Amazing!
GA Girl, have been through croup and three hospital stays with my grandsons. So, know what you all are going through. Prayers for John John. They do grow out of the tendency to get croup about the age 4.
THANKS LOLLY. when my kids were small. people would say.. sounds like they have the croup.. I guess I never hear of people really having the croup. I have worked in the hospital for 20 years.. jeez..growing out of it really sounds incouraging.. thanks again
Gee whiz! You guys should hear what's going on in our big ficus trees! Sounds like a Pterodactyl convention! (It's the black-crowned night herons feeding their babies!) No wonder I can't sleep right! Heard the Goshawks calling to each other earlier this morning, too. Before I forget, thanks, Glo, for the 'visitor in the nest' picture. It's really quite a 'keeper'!
Guess I have missed my 3:00 cup of coffee - I'll just call it a 3:15 and I bet it tastes just the same.
The Wild Watch site that has the herons nest on it - I watched 3 eggs hatch last year! Those babies turn out to be quite the long legged big winged little (?) ones!

See where some in parts of California from Ms. Bookworm on last nights thread - Earthquake.
Glad all are ok including Jim. Hope others are too.
See GaGirl needs prayers for GG baby. Sure can do that Ga Girl including all family members too.
Both were at Finney over the water, but now back to one!
Lord, Hidey is certainly getting in some good practice this morning!!
HEDGIE----(keeper of romney's stop light)---ho!----NO---a vacation is a holiday----That's what I meant---
There went Hidey flying all the way across the nest.

Wonder if Steve is back to work from his vacation/holiday?!
Hey, Dana! How's Ed this am? And you, of course!
DEB!---NEB KESTRELS appear to be in the corner of the box!---Too much fog to get a good look!
Norma he is still sleeping. So don't know yet if I'll have to phone dr. Thanks for asking.
WOW thank you Lynn on the link for baby elephant. I was trying to get it. Had a lot of commericals. Click on the page to watch. Wonder why that other elephant was in there? My SisterIL loves elephants. I'll send the link to her.
Right Lynn, that is exactly what i have to do. No volume on the computer I work on but I do have the volume up on the laptop with HI on it!
Hi Deb good to see you lady. ( :
Lynn I'm still tired. Just everything has worn me out. Very thankful for the Lord above. Carries you through all. Hoping to get back into more action..like warm water again soon.
HEDGIE--He had planned to stay a week--I have forgotten when he left!
Sure hope MM is feeling better. Worried about that swelling.
Can't wait to hear any news from Mits on Mei.
Norma Steve left on Thursday May 14th for Maine for a week.
You are right, Norma, the cam is fogged over, I can see a little bit of the Kestrel chicks.
Tai really has an itch. He can't seem to get done scratching.
Deb, do you have pictures to share with us from your weekend?
Wanda, I do have pictures, but it will take me awhile to get through them. I was too tired to look last night. We hiked a lot, so didn't take my camera everywhere.
Good, Deb! Look forward to your photos:)
I have a black cocker spaniel. She 'perches' on the edge of the bed in the mornings while I get ready for work. She reminds me so much of Hidey's perching. I almost call her Hidey..
'MIRACLE' is a 'TRIP' this am!!--We should sell tickets!---She is movin' sticks -- must be preparing for a nest! ho!---Lifting sticks & moving to the other side of the nest!!-----i think i am in love!--
Any one heard from MEGAN?---Been thinking & worrying about her all morning---pray she didn't lose any plants---
WANDA---I agree--I think we always look forward to seeing DEB'S pics when she returns---from a nature trip!!
Norma on another thread Megan had warned everyone about covering their plants. So I too pray she didn't loose any. Bet she is busy busy uncovering them for the sun.
Norma what machines do you use?
LOON is sideways on her nest!---LARRY hasn't posted his daily message as of yet!---I enjoy his messages too---
Right you are, Dana! I was thinking that Steve had been gone longer than that!
Wow, Hidey just got some serious air under her. My heart is pumping good now.
I just typed up our bird list for Friday, 61 species seen. Nothing outstanding, but not bad for 40-50 mile an hour winds.
Whoa, Hidey, almost crashed into the tree trunk.
Morning, all. Lots of hopping and flapping!
I do too Norma truly enjoy hearing of Deb's adventures and photos.
Good Morning Paula to Eagleland where the winds will lift you high or smack you into a tree trunk. Prayerfully not over the edge.
I think that is Hidey's I Want Food Dance ! Whew -
heart races when she does that!
*Good Morning Everyone ! *
Hope it is a good one for everyone.
Welcome Back Deb... 61 species! can't wait, sure all of it is spectacular !
Beautiful views of our Eaglet, regardless how scarey it is !
MORNIN' PAULA!---I think MIRACLE is on 'something' this am---She hasn't settled yet!---love her!--What will we do for entertainment when she fledges????
Did you sleep at all, Margy?
Norma see comment back at 8:59am
DANA---Do you mean at the Wellness Center?
At Ease!
Yes, some, Paula... Work schedule does strange things to my sleep schedule...probably had too much caffeine in my system from evening work shift ☺
Yesterday on BEAKSPEAK NCTC EAGLE CAM WAS # 1 way to go!!!!!
GOLLY--GOLLY---DEB!----'ONLY' 61?
When I grow up --- I want to be just like you!!---ho!---I truly envy you--I agree with WANDA--thank you for sharing with us--
Yes Norma
Thanks DANA!---BLESS HER HEART---FREEZE warning again tonight!!
Great News, Dana !
Thanks for keep reminding us to open up thru Beakspeak..finally made it a habit !
TTFN time for a wake-up Shower !
61 is low for this time of year, the wind just kept things hunkered down. We had 110 for the weekend, I think. I will finish the rest of the lists later.
DANA!---SATURDAY----I saw the MAMA EAGLE feeding her EAGLET at the OREGON SITE!!---CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?---The pic is grainy--but it was a beautiful thing to see!!!
Hello all:)
All is fine here, tender plants in garden are all covered with floating row cover, and I'm just leaving it on today cause tonite looks to be in the 30's and clear, and possibly tomorrow nite too. Stayed somewhat cloudy here last nite so we dodged the bullet.
Mondays are rough, I move like a turtle, I am exhausted and could use about 3 more hours sleep. Kid is home not feeling well, and I gotta get out and water the GH, peonies need to be picked, and sunflower seeds need to be sown. at least the sun is shining, wish the wind would stop.
Sorry your so tired Megan. Glad you checked in and your plants and flowers made it ok.
Feeding at Kentucky of 2 chicks with 1 egg still left to hatch.
That is good to hear, Megan. It is too bad you can't take Monday's off to rejuvinate, but I know that isn't possible.
Norma, that is so exciting to hear Oregon has a chick. I'll have to check it out later. Off to work, I put one picture up on Deb's Photos.
Norma haven't checked out Oregon in awhile. Have to take a trip there tee hee
MORNIN' MEGAN!---I wish I could help---maybe if I lived closer!--Keeping you in my thoughts--The wind hasn't hit our area yet!!--Watching a yellow finch---wow!---
Deb, are you off today? Or playing hookey? :)
Hey Norma, might not wanna be here on Mondays, that's 'fish emulsion day' in the GH- it's gonna reek out there. I'm off to fertilize and hope I don't get it all over me, which I usually do, then the dog follows me around til I change my clothes. Have a great day all:)
Reckon something is happening at NZ? She is looking at her behind and they have both cams on her.
I VOLUNTEER TO HELP MEGAN. SOO MANY PRETTY FLOWERS
* Good Morning, everyone *
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
I think Deb didn't have to start her work day until 0900 her time today ☺
Good Morning Jim! Thanks for waving the white flag this morning that all was okay out your way... ☺
Good Report from your Garden World, Megan, Hope the daughter feels better soon....
Gotcha, Margy!
Megan - I am LOL at the dog following you cuz you smell like fish! My dogs would go bonkers!
Yes, Magpie. After you all mentioned it, I read a little on it in the Yahoo news...
3.1 they said, which is moderate, but if they are close enough or there are no mountains in the way, you can definitely feel a 3.1 quake.
Thanks for you all being concerned.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
We're family Jim -
that's what it's all about ☺
My niece and her infant daughter, felt the action, in Santa Monica, nephew in LA, is okay, don't think he felt anything
Off for breakfast with some friends visiting from North Carolina, see you all later on.
Hope it is a good day....

I have to do some house work this am---been on puter too much the past 3 or 4 days----BUT!!! any news from the PANDA CAMP?---She is acting strange--
Good Morning All!
Read all comments before posting.. I should post then go read but I can't stop reading once I start!
Cold Crisp and beautiful day here in the valley. All plants were in house last night & again tonight! Will check weather & plant on Tues if possible!
Mei Xiang is laying in the same exact place she was laying when Tai was born.
Had another heartstopping moment a little while ago, and then puter froze up....Hidey MUST stop sitting UNDER the cam!!! Thought (s)he was gone!
Prayers for your ggbaby, GA Girl and for all the family being said.
Sharon - I wish I wish a cub would come!

had a call from my daughter. John-John has been taken down for a test of his air way.He is still a sick little guy. My daughter and grand-daughter are both tired. thanks for all your prayers.. please keep them coming
Well if a cub is coming WE are going to have front row seats.
WHAT IS THE PANDA SITE???
morning again everyone...caught up on emails....GG prayers for you little one.....remember zoo will turn off the cams if they think a birth is imminent, don't know when they will be turned back on
Having an anxiety attack watching MEI!
MITS are you here with us? We need you.
Pitooey! Guess that wasn't a good nestover...Hidey still searching...
Finally Daniels Multiple Panda Cam Feeds is up with the DC cam...... Refreshing no problem now.

I can't do the fancy stuff but here is the address you can cut and paste. He has 4-5 panda cams on this page, i is pretty good!
also please remember, Mei will do the exact same things, nesting, licking, cradling, even if she is NOT pregnant...so it is what it is til we have a positive outcome or they see something on a ultra-sound, which I'm thinking she has not had in a few weeks
Great - up there you are!

Try this one GA GIRL
I'm still waiting for news from my bosses
We were hoping that you may have heard some news. With no exam I guess they are as baffled as we viewers are.
for sure, even the experts cannot predict with certainty
MITS---Didn't we SEE TAI being born----Just shot out & scared us all!---
OK! Time to sneak away and get dressed for the day and find some lunch!
BRB
btw, the licking of the nether regions has to go on for about 15 to 20 mins....for them to be called if we are on a night watch....
at the time that Tai was born, whether it was live I don't remember, but there was video of the birth....Animal Planet had bought the rights to his birth, they are no longing affiliated with NZ, so if there is a birth the zoo wants the exclusive rights for raising money for conservation of giant pandas, they don't want the live event all over you-tube and other places.
my question to my cam boss was how do we know when to turn the cam off, and he says someone else does it, not sure who, but I agree with the zoo, they need to constantly raise money for the care and conservation of all the animals they are trying to save from extinction
MITS---Haven't heard how MM is today!----Did CEIL call the Dr?
Well, lovely eagle buds, my work day is done and I am getting in the shower. Ya'll keep an eye out for me, bbialw!!
Catch ya'll later!
just saw a bunch of birds flying by FINLAND osprey nest
Eaglets at Caltran are huge...
The OK eaglet is one week younger then Hidey! You can sure get a good look with the cam so close.
OMG!!! Hidey just soared for a moment over her nest!!! and then she looked at the camera as if to say "Did you see THAT?!"
BBILW
Sorry, what's "BBILW"?
ANd why does Hidey mantle when the parent comes to the nest? It almost seems like she's afraid or protecting her space?
Gabriela - that would be
Be Back In a Little While
like TTFN is Ta Ta For Now
GME is Good Morning Everyone
BBL is be back later
MTBR is More to Be Revealed
JMHO is Just My Humble Opinion
BBL - is just plain Be Back Later
ROFLMBO is -
Rolled on Floor Laughed My Butt Off...
Gabriela, I will try to answer your questions. BBILW is be back in a little while.
Eaglets learn to snatch the food from the parent when they bring it to the nest, then they mantle over it to protect it before eating it.
Prayers for John-John and all the family Ga Girl.....
thanks for bringing us into the Prayer Chain!
And what a powerful prayer chain on this blog! :)
Time for a Panda Nap...catch on the sleep I missed during Ms Bookworm's Earthquake reports early this morning, so here is my favorite abbreviation:
xoxoxo - which of course, is kisses and hugs ! ♥ ☺
LOL! You'd think working for the gov't I would be up on acronyms! Thanks for the definitions and for the lesson on eaglet manners! I'm going to miss Hidey when she finally does fledge!
Have a lovely rest of the afternoon all!
Hey there Double E-S -
which of course is Eagle-Eyed Sharon ! ☺ xo ♥
..and "pulling a Margy" means saying good-bye, coming back, signing off again, and coming back.....you get it....
TTFN ☺
Hi Margy. Gabriela, this is all a learning process. Some us have been here since 2006 so when we started we had to learn everything from each other. I have learned so much over the last 4 eaglet seasons.
Oh yeah, I thought LOL was Lots of Love, but then someone had to tell me it means Laugh a Lot..or maybe it is Lots of Laughs......
then there is LAWL - which is Laughs a Whole Lot.
See? I wrote the book on Pulling a Margy, and Ceil is my co-author!
'Night ! Really !
LOL means laugh out loud unless it is Mema Jo and hers means lots of love.
Can anybody see what Hidey is eating? I don't think it's fish but between the shade and the smudge i can't tell...
I can't tell what it is, probably a mammal of some kind!
Hidey is way more fun today than my work! Hee, hee. And LOL is laugh out loud for me but I always laugh with a lot of love! :-)
Gabriela, where do you live? You have probably told us but I can't remember (CRS disease)!
yes, i think mammal because her beak seems bloodied. Whatever it is she sure is enjoying it!
Sharon, I live in Tallahassee, FL.
One time I was watching the nest (when we had 3 babies in it). Saw something moving in the nest and they had brought a turtle to the nest and of course it had gone into its shell. I guess when the turtle thought it was safe, it came back out of the shell. It was not a pretty site. Imagine being a turle and coming out of the shell, looking around and your butt is laying in an eagle's nest. Not much hope there! :)
The company I work for is based at Jacksonville. That is on the other coast from you, right?
Correct, I'm pretty much half-way between Pensacola & Jacksonville. The Gulf Coast is only 1/2 hr away.
There's mom (or dad) showing Hidey how to get the last bits of food from the carcass!
The parents' instinct to know when to stop feeding and when to start dropping food in the nest so the eaglet can learn, this stuff just blows my mind! The big stick was brought in for talon strengthening exercises. How do they know this stuff? They don't even have a checklist to look at! :)
My indigo bunting was out here again yestesrday but I haven't seen him today. I feed birds on my roof right outside of my window where I work. Looked out there yesterday and saw a really strange bird - in the form of a chipmunk. Climbed up the holly tree and jumped right onto the roof.
if that chipmunk is not careful he might end up being eagle take-away! I had a red-shouldered hawk in my yard yesterday and as i watched from my sunroom i saw him/her swoop down on something in my irises - either a small mammal or baby bird and fly off with it - a pair of bluejays squawking and divebombing all the way!
I have had hawks here too. They use my birdfeeders as bait boxes. I chase them off when I see them. I know they have to eat too but they can do it at somebody else's house! :) I have crows in a tree out here and the grackles have been all over them, chasing them away.
My daughter( John-John grandmother) works for a company (works from home) based out of Tallahassee too.. small world
I work for FEMA based out of Atlanta. :-)
Mei Xiang is up and about in her outer dens, eating bamboo
And I do medical transcription from home for Med-Scribe. I love working at home.
My daughter works for a medical supply co out of Tallahassee. I tell everyone that she sells body bags.. that is her biggest seller. I have gone to coroners conventions with her before. I also work for a Hospital
Coroner's conventions - hmmmm - could be interesting I guess but doesn't it bore you to "death"? :)
Hi, everyone! I'm checking in late here; slept in to catch up after blogging so late last night, then getting up early to get Hubby off to work! Not surprised Jim didn't feel the quake while in the car-- has happened to me before, too. Glad all is OK. GA-GIRL, so sorry to hear your ggbaby is in the hospital! Prayers being said for healing! Timed it right when signing on this am-- got to see Hidey being fed something furry (eew!). Hedgie, thanks for the link to the baby elephant! Just adorable! Costume Lady, I tend to agree with you, tho, that the other baby elephant was getting way too close to the new one.
hey all. word from the hospital. John-John has a restricted airway, and the croup. they are monitoring him right now.He also has asthma. He was a year old last week and always has a smile on his face. even when he is sick. Thanks for all your prayers. YOU ARE ALL NUMBER ONE IN MY BOOK... KEEP YOUR PRAYERS COMING.
I type pathology reports but I have only gotten to type 1 autopsy. Very interesting! We went to the gross anatomy lab while I was in transcription school and that was really interesting.
GA-Girl, I know from personal experience how powerful the prayers from this blog are. I have been through a lot since joining this blog and these people are so wonderful. I am so grateful to have been blessed with the friends I have here.
yep. the conventions are.. she has to be there for a couple hours in the morning, noon, and then close.. but it is the places she goes that I like.. out of state. I always go for the sites. and when it is just us two.. we have a really good time. although Lisa has met some really interesting people.. like Dr Lee
Oh, wow, how cool is that. I am really glad I don't have to type Dr. Lee's dictation though becuase he does not speak very plain English! :)
That is good news about John-John! Sounds like things can all be fixed or at least kept in tact! I know what you mean about "Smile on his face no matter what" Must be for sure a little angel.
MEI looks like one of our eagle with dragging the Big StickROFLMBO
Speaking of wonderful friends - Hi JO!
Hi All!
I am watching our very intelligent panda MEI! She was able to get that very very long piece of Bamboo through the door and into the birthing den. Amazing!
Hidey is resting up at the noon position in the nest.
Windy! Sound is good.
Now she is eating said stick. Sure do wish she would give us a little panda cublet!
GA Girl, have been through croup and three hospital stays with my grandsons. So, know what you all are going through. Prayers for John John. They do grow out of the tendency to get croup about the age 4.
THANKS LOLLY. when my kids were small. people would say.. sounds like they have the croup.. I guess I never hear of people really having the croup. I have worked in the hospital for 20 years.. jeez..growing out of it really sounds incouraging.. thanks again
Gee whiz! You guys should hear what's going on in our big ficus trees! Sounds like a Pterodactyl convention! (It's the black-crowned night herons feeding their babies!) No wonder I can't sleep right! Heard the Goshawks calling to each other earlier this morning, too. Before I forget, thanks, Glo, for the 'visitor in the nest' picture. It's really quite a 'keeper'!
Today is the BIG patio clean. Have been waiting for the tile to dry. Now it is time to get back out there!
BBL
Guess I have missed my 3:00 cup of coffee - I'll just call it a 3:15 and I bet it tastes just the same.
The Wild Watch site that has the herons nest on it - I watched 3 eggs hatch last year! Those babies turn out to be quite the long legged big winged little (?) ones!
