First day off getting off at 6 am is always a little crazy, slept, got up for something, slept again, then went up to Morgan County to check on the Fellas.
Haven't read the blog posts yet since I left so let me now find out what everyone has been up to.
Only two more ISS sightings this week, one is early in the morning Thursday and the other is Friday night, not sure what it will be like for all latitudes and longitudes, but here is the link and you can put in your zip code. I missed the one tonight (Wed) evening...
I am here but I am getting ready to hit the pillows! Thanks Margy for the card! Loved it! Came at just the right time!
Good Night All Prayers for all needs being said - Pray you are recovering well Anne Marie Praying your appointment tomorrow has an encouraging report, Ed. Peace to All (((hugs))) ♥
Wednesday, July 08, 2009 Zoo's Joy Turns to Sorrow After Incident It is with tremendous sadness that the Memphis Zoo announces that the newborn elephant calf has died. The calf stumbled while walking through the exhibit shortly before 10:00am Wednesday morning. Asali was trying to assist the calf back to its feet when she accidentally injured the newborn with her tusk. Zoo keepers began to work immediately to separate Asali from the calf. They then began to perform first aid, and along with the Zoo’s veterinary staff,...
I know Margy, they were so excited...I just sent them a quick condolence note....I have sent them notes before, they are also trying for their 1st panda cub, and have been unsuccessful so far..
I am glad Finland is back up too....hope to see it with my own eyes one of these days.
It was such a joy to hear the Adult Eagle calling this morning, along with Hidey, wonder if they are headed to the the Potomac for Summer Fishing School
I am headed to the train station here to have a look at the 5:25 am commuter that I will be taking Monday morning and get some boarding and ticket details ☺
Back in a little while... Best Wishes for a Good Day, Everyone Oh yes, saw ISS for five brilliant minutes, also the four planets and Moonie ☺ xo
We got woke up at 3 this morning by a big dog dragging a huge chain across our front porch. It got loose from the neighbors. Now it is behind my house trying to figure out how to get back. Can't let my dogs out because I am afraid it would eat them. Wish they would get up and let it in.

I think he is back behind the house in my trash cans now. I am too leery of her to go try to put her back in the yard. She has a pretty vicious bark and don't really want to test the bite thing.
as I was getting ready to go out yesterday, looked in my backyard, and lying under the azaleas was Mr. Red Fox....knocked on the window, he jumped up and ran off....now I'm afraid to go out in the backyard.
Same here Mits...I had a short night's sleep too, thanks to my insatiable interest in ISS - and I have a pile of things on my agenda today too....but I hope each of us "short pandas" get to take a little nap later!
Train station was beautifuil in the pre-dawn sky. An assortment of passenger-types and one soldier. This train has a few skyliner type cars...just like the one Ceil, Jimmy and MM rode back in January !

I hear the adult eagle too! Very Rare!
Oh Helen....how very very sad, the little elephant.
I know Margy, they were so excited...I just sent them a quick condolence note....I have sent them notes before, they are also trying for their 1st panda cub, and have been unsuccessful so far..

TTFN
I hear Hidey too.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TAI SHAN....they will be presenting him with his number 4 birthday fruit cicle at 8:30a.m. this a.m.
Good morning eagle friends! I do not see an eagle but I certainly here at least a couple of them.
Well, you guys are up early! Everything okay?

yep, woke up and could not get back to sleep:)

I think he is back behind the house in my trash cans now. I am too leery of her to go try to put her back in the yard. She has a pretty vicious bark and don't really want to test the bite thing.
good thinking, Sissy
Hidey is in the nest!!
as I was getting ready to go out yesterday, looked in my backyard, and lying under the azaleas was Mr. Red Fox....knocked on the window, he jumped up and ran off....now I'm afraid to go out in the backyard.
She is so still, I thought my cam froze!
have not seen him in awhile
Oh wow!!
is he mantling food?
I don't see any food in the nest. He/She is surveying her kingdom.
rain clouds over Finland nest...just 2 chicks in view...
Hi Mits & Sissy!
How wonderful to see Hidey this morning. I haven't seen her in a while either.
What a great way to start the day!
Was this a delivery of food, or did she bring it in herself?
Morning Lori!
he looked like he was mantling at first, then it looked like something was in his talons, but just don't know.
There she went!!
poof, but nearby
Yes, Hidey has always been a hoot to watch at meal time.
Imagine one day that Hidey will have to get food and give it up to his young ones... or will he? :)
the birthday boy is up and walking around
Mits, did you read the thing on Daniel's page about Tai? It is good!
no didn't read it, Sissy, will go look
Good for the Eagle Spotters this morning! ☺ I envy you!
I did see a nice family of five deer, four bucks and a doe. At least two six-pointers, maybe an eight, and a four...
that was nice, Sissy, Daniel has a few things posted incorrectly, Tai's debut was in December of 2005.
And about a hundred commuters at the Train Station...
Come on back down Hidey !
I love that piece of peeling bark at the Sycamore Palace !
I was just going to ask, how the train station was this a.m., Margy
yeah that is cool.
Oh, forgot to say:
Good Morning Early Birders ☺
I loved that pic he had posted of Tai and Mei, head to head! Morning again magpie, my friend! How are ya this morning!!??
:), Margy....I'm drinking coffee like crazy, don't want to go back to sleep now, got too much to do today
yes that is a great picture....
he has been a wonderful addition to the zoo, will miss him when he goes, but no more than the keepers will.
Same here Mits...I had a short night's sleep too, thanks to my insatiable interest in ISS -
and I have a pile of things on my agenda today too....but I hope each of us "short pandas" get to take a little nap later!
Doing well, Sissy, thank you ! and yourself?
Train station was beautifuil in the pre-dawn sky. An assortment of passenger-types and one soldier. This train has a few skyliner type cars...just like the one Ceil, Jimmy and MM rode back in January !
The neighbor finally got up and came over and got his dog! I am so glad. My little dachshunds think they can whip that big ole dog!
Oh, Joy - - but less than 30-seconds' worth !
would like to know where the panda cam operator is at NZ this a.m.???
Get em Mits!!
well it is hard for the keepers to do the cams, but I'm sure they will try to get it focused on the cake reveal at 8:30a.m.
ok, guess cam person finnaly got there.
Good morning, everyone!
How about a New Thread
for all the day's festivities!
It's UP
