Weds it is then! Supposed to be sunny and near 40°.
Hello everybody:)

Mits said...

good morning Megan, thanks for the call over....

Mits said...

boy Mei Xiang is in a whiny mood this a.m.

Mits said...

must be those hormones

Mema Jo said...

Thank you Megan - I danced right over!
Hi Mits!

Steve thanks for the update on Wed.
Hope all goes well with fixing the cam.

Mema Jo said...

The beautiful Moose is on moose cam.
The beautiful Eagle is on BWE cam.
SD Zoo - 2 pandas up in the same tree.
DC Zoo - 1 panda eating and 1 panda roaming.......

Mema Jo said...

Mits is it Mia on cam 1 who is roaming and then looking out the door window..?

Mits said...

yes Mei is roaming, Tai is eating

paula eagleholic said...

Good to hear, Steve!

Snoopy danced on over....

2 at BWE

paula eagleholic said...

Poof at BWE...TV at BWO

Mema Jo said...

Got a call from Germany - every thing is ok. Eight inches of fresh snow!
Izzie said Mema very clearly. She has learned to jump and thinks it is funny.
Sammy was getting her to jump and so I could hear lots of laughter.

Lynne2 said...

Jo, that phone call alone will keep you warm no matter the weather today!

took me a while to get here....the owl can't fly very well without flapping :(

Boy NBG this afternoon and our cam up on Wed!!!! Big week!

Mema Jo said...

How is Daisy doing?


I was watching Lily and she moved a little with her breathing.......

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Wednesday will be a great day for a tree climb! Can't wait to see Lib and Belle again!

Lynne2 said...

Daisy is doing VERY well! She had FINALLY started leaving the cats alone...I think she knows now that no amount of prancing around them is going to get them to play with her! It's a huge relief because if it had continued, I don't think this would be the best home for her...a home without cats would have been better. But, it's worked itself out (with a little help from Mr. Spray bottle and lots of praise when she is calm around them, no to mention a few well directed swats from the cats!)

hedgie said...

Wonder if the work will require climbing the tree? Will it be Nu going up? Wish we knew more!

normabyrd said...

NZOO PANDAS on ABC 7---

Mits said...

still a ton of eagles on USeeWildlife.com

paula eagleholic said...

They say they are replacing the cam, so yes, they will be going up the tree.

paula eagleholic said...

2 ewwiies at BWO, one up close

normabyrd said...

SHOWED BOTH PANDAS!!---& mentioned that they had artificially inseminated the PANDA!-

Mema Jo said...

Wed ? Is it repairing our cam or putting up a NEW cam. I can't remember what Steve indicated. Anyone remember?
Of course I wish it was turning on
the Live Feed !

floralgirl said...

And we know Nu loves to climb the sycamore tree...

Mema Jo said...

Blogger Cop almost got me!

I am headed for some lunch....
BBILW

Lolly said...

Good morning! Jo, they said a NEW cam. Wahoo!

Costume Lady said...

Thursday
The cam is obviously giving us a great deal of trouble. Yesterday afternoon we determined that the damage caused last week by the wind also impacted the power supply to the cam and perhaps the cam as well. We are working closely with a top Fish and Wildlife Service Bald Eagle expert on the best time to go up in the nest at this late time to replace the cam and cables. Right now, the window for doing this is mid next week. More when we know it.

Lynne2 said...

I am pretty sure it will be the live feed on Wed, Jo!

Lolly said...

I am really running behind today. I really slept late and I usually do not do that. Guess I needed the sleep. This cold weather though keeps me under the covers longer. lol

Can hardly wait for Wed and the new cam. Think I am having withdrawal symptoms. And, today the NBG comes on. Let's get this season rolling.

Have discovered Sudoku on facebook. That is not good. Like I needed something else to do this computer.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Morning again everyone!!! Gotta go to the doctor today to get the results of the EGD I had before Christmas. Hope I get back home before yet another snow storm comes!!

Costume Lady said...

Wonder who is paying for the new cam? Maybe the Sponsers of the Live Feed. Cross fringers and toes!

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Paula - I see my answer about 'replacing' the cam.


Watching USee, Mits. They really do like to attack each other over the
food. They are acting just like a
vulture......

Lolly said...

As usual, I am very jealous of your trip on Saturday. Okay, lets have a contest. Let's see which one of you can come up with the best picture. lol Get out those cameras and go to it. If I can not be there....I want a good picture of an eagle!! Or make that eagles.

Mema Jo said...

Just thinking about Pecking Pearl...
She would have a good future in a situation like this.......

Mits said...

yeah and it is funny, Jo, the juvies have no fear of the adults, they just tear into the food after they have chased them away

NatureNut said...

Hi Everyone. A NU camera????? Hope they can show something online. Where I work WED., can get online. Maybe Wanda will have to do another field trip to NCTC! ☺

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I am with Lolly on that one, jealous and all!!!

Mits said...

there were 8 adult eagles in the tree earlier this a.m.

hedgie said...

Thanks for bringing that message over, Wanda....had forgotten exactly what was said. Of course, no guarantees that we will be able to view anything that day---there may well be more techie stuff to do once the cam is in place.

Lynne, so glad taht things have improved so much with Daisy!!

Time for some lunch...and then I think another nap. BBL.

Mits said...

13 eagles on the cam now at USee

Lolly said...

I am curious about all those eagles on usee. Did they catch their dinner or did someone throw out fish? So many of them are eating.

Mema Jo said...

Those swans are really honking away on USee. Lolly I have no idea - when I start watching it is always there when they turn the eagles on.

Mits said...

from what I know it is a private sanctuary, and they feed the birds and the deer

Mema Jo said...

Great pic of all the swans and ducks at USee

floralgirl said...

Lily the bear is laying with her head by cam, really cute:)

Mema Jo said...

I see the white swans - are the others the Tundra Swans?
The white swans poke at them...

Lolly said...

I hate to leave this fine company...but I have not even eaten breakfast. lol Coffee has been sustaining me until now. LOL
Here you are talking about lunch and panda naps.

Have a great day....I'll BBL!

Mits said...

I think they are tundra swans....

Mits said...

awwww, there is Lily, kept seeing her back all a.m.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks for the heads up Megan
I even got on the cam with the first try - only 2633 viewers..

Good shot of her head......... Just maybe we will be able to see newborn cubs..........

Mema Jo said...

Watching 2 juvies sharing their prey..
They must have been in a clutch of 2 or more and not an only eaglet.....

Mits said...

food looks like some kind of bird carcass, like a turkey or chicken

Mema Jo said...

Well I am watching Bear Hair but I don't know where.......

Mema Jo said...

Just saw Lily scratching under her chin

I wish I could read like how soon the cubs could be born..........

Mema Jo said...

This is very interesting watching Lily the Black Bear. Sound is very good as I can hear her breaking off roots in her den.

Mema Jo said...

Lily the Black Bear
Doug Hajicek who is a film and video producer and the man behind this bear cam says "it's astounding how active hibernating bears are in their dens." Before a den cam allowed him to watch an undisturbed bear, he thought hibernating bears simply slept.
Researchers say that there is a better than average chance of her giving birth to cubs around mid Jan. The birth of bear cubs has never been filmed before

Mema Jo said...

Bev - let us know how you make out with your test results!
I am hoping the weather warms about mid week.. So tired of Frigid Cold!

Mema Jo said...

Lilly was surely busy.... I think it
may be Bear Nap time now.

Mema Jo said...

Taking a break......... BBL

PA Nana said...

Hi everyone. It's still cold here - Brrrrr

Loved Bob's video of his cats yesterday. They acted just like mine.


please send me the link to Lilly. I'm lost without our eagle cam. Usee has eagles, but they're not ours. I need tio watch siomething interesting while I wait for daughter to skype me so I caN SEE FOR MYSELF THAT SHE AND mAX ARE BETTER. Sorry, my fingers are having a hard time with this keyboard.

My second attempt worked.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Well, I have had the juvie yellow-bellied sapsucker out here for a while but now I have adults! I love it. Couldn't get a pic cause it just flew off but I will keep an eagle-eye out for sure!

PA Nana said...

thanks Lolly

Lynne2 said...

awww Lily just had a little scratchy and NOW I can see exactly what her body position is!!!!

Ms Bookworm said...

Good afternoon, Everybody!
Gosh, I seem to be getting in here later and later! Got Hubby off to work, and promptly fell back asleep. Woke up kinda late, and got a bit of work done before coming here to see how you are.

Lolly, I know what you mean about feeling cold and not being able to warm up! I'm like that a lot too, but I think it's one (or two) of my blood pressure meds that cause it. Drives me crazy! Feel like an ice cube sometimes.

We went and saw 'Avatar' in 3-D yesterday, and if you're going to go see it, it's definitely worth seeing in 3-D! Visually spectacular! I think it may be my favorite movie ever! Took a whole new technology to make the movie. It's not animation, but computer-enhanced images. Loved it!

Well, guess I'll go get ready to run some errands, and eat a quick lunch first. Prayers for everyone who's ailing, and everyone else, too!

Will check back a little later to see what's happening. Take care!
Love you guys! :o]

FONZ says:

The National Zoo's giant panda mating season began earlier than expected again this year. Mei Xiang and Tian Tian attempted to mate on Saturday. Over the course of a few hours, Zoo staff carefully observed the pandas' activities and, because competent mating did not occur, Zoo scientists and veterinarians performed a nonsurgical artificial insemination later that evening and again Sunday morning.

hedgie said...

I think they said that Lily is denned in a very shallow under-log area. She apparently tried several places before choosing it. They were only guessing as to which place she would finally choose!

paula eagleholic said...

'Competent Mating'....poor Tian

stronghunter said...

Good afternoon!

Got my students' SOL scores. They all passed. (I have only one class testing right now, and it is the dual enrollment kids.)

On the other hand, I gave back my senior research papers. One girl did not do her outline correctly, and when I talked with her about it, she said that she couldn't find the Roman numeral keys on the keyboard. Sometimes, I just want to curl up in a corner and cry. (I did show her the appropriate keys.)

stronghunter said...

Thanks for the Lilly link, Lolly.

hedgie said...

Shirley, that reminds me of a really dumb guy we had at work who had transferred in from MI whose name was "John Doe" IV. Instead of calling himself the 4th, he said he was I V. Duh!!!

Mema Jo said...

Hope everyone is having a laid back afternoon. I am just now getting my
3:00 cup of coffee!

Lynn - hope you feel better 100% soon

Prayers for Iris' dil Doretta still being said.. so glad she is home and pray the family gets some professional help at home for her.

Mits said...

9 eagles at USee in the tree

Mits said...

here is the rest of the article on the giant pandas that Lynn started above.....

Both pandas were anesthetized, allowing the scientists to collect semen from Tian Tian and insert it directly into Mei Xiang’s uterus.

It appears a new January ovulation pattern is emerging for Mei Xiang; until last year, typical ovulation for her has historically occurred in March or April. Giant pandas have one very brief breeding season each year, with only a day or two of actual mating. The early start of these past two seasons is unusual, but the expertise of the Zoo’s staff enabled them to immediately identify signs of this early reproductive activity and prepare for an artificial insemination.

Early last week, the Zoo’s animal care team noticed Mei Xiang exhibiting signs of an early estrus, including distinctive vocalizations that are associated with mating season. Staff immediately began monitoring the hormone levels in her urine, which allowed them to predict the exact moment she had ovulated. Timing is crucial—female giant pandas only have about one day a year in which conception can occur.

There is no conclusive study that indicates what causes panda ovulation. Although scientists know that giant pandas mostly breed in late winter to early spring, it is not known if the onset of reproductive activity is triggered by increasing day length, temperature, or some other environmental factor.

Zoo staff separated Mei Xiang and Tian Tian before performing the artificial insemination. They will remain separated for the next few months, until Mei Xiang either delivers a cub or Zoo scientists determine that she is not pregnant. Keeping the pandas separated will reduce the risk of increased stress-hormone levels in Mei Xiang, which could jeopardize a developing embryo. Panda gestation typically lasts from 90 to 185 days. Veterinarians and scientists will monitor Mei Xiang’s hormone levels and perform ultrasounds to determine if she is pregnant.

2 eagles at BWE

Lynne2 said...

Lily is awake!

Lynne2 said...

she' coming out of the den!!

Mits said...

Dr. Lynn Rogers of the Wildlife Research Institute is on his way to Lily's den. She may come out of the den as he adjusts the camera. Lily and Dr. Rogers can be seen in the upcoming Animal Planet documentary 'Bearwalker of the Northwoods'.24 minutes ago...should be there any time now, think he is there now

Mits said...

he is adjusting it now

Lynne2 said...

they are fixing camera at the den!

Mema Jo said...

Going to head out the door
Need some new living room curtains..

BBL

Mema Jo said...

I didn't leave just yet...... Read your comments about Black Bear Cam and going to watch it a while......

Mits said...

from the bear site....

"Listen and you will hear Lily sniffing around the den. She is in the immediate area."

NatureNut said...

Was that fur or somebody's hair at the bear den??

hedgie said...

Here is a FB message from Debs' sister, Dianne: (it is a back and forth between she, Pam and Janie at Birds of Prey NW. Have found out that their website is temporarily down.)

Dianne Cooper January 7 at 11:14pm Report
Lynn: Pam got this from Janie yesterday. Do you know her website address I am having a hard time finding it. Info that Janie shared with Pam yesterday. I have tried numerous combinations and it is not working

Subject: RE: Memorial for Deb

Hello,

I hope you enjoyed the best of the holiday season.

I see you are making weather news this week!

I wanted to let you know that I have compiled the donations for your beloved sister’s memorial fund. I have sent them to your mailing address. It was touching, but not surprising to me, how she impacted people with her dynamic personality in such a short time. I remember when we first met, I felt an ease with Deb and her love of eagles that I won’t forget.

We created the Deb Palmer Memorial Fund through our nonprofit Birds of Prey NW. I have compiled a few of my favorite images of Deb and wish to post these along with any of your own favorites you might wish to include, onto our website, this month. It is a small way of honoring her giant heart…

I think the time to plan Deb’s summer memorial might be while the young osprey are still held captive in the reintroduction tower, and when most of the volunteers would be present. I am scheduled to arrive with all the baby osprey on the 26th of July. I will hold the youngsters for just about ten days. I will be in South Dakota until the 1st of September. Let me know what you decide so that I might be helpful.

Hugs across the miles,

Janie

Hi Janie,

Yes we have had quite a bit of snow so far this winter - we had 31" in 2009 plus the wind so the drifts were pretty high. Then we had a night in December that was 30 below so we broke records with that. Now tonight we are having another blizzard, not that much snow but it is dry and fluffy with 30 mile per hour winds so it is really drifting. I live outside of the city, so am staying in town tonight - the hospital is putting so up at the Holiday Inn (they did that at Christmas also - I stayed there for 4 nights before I could get home). Could you send me your mailing address - I did a calendar with Deb's pictures as a memorial and have one to send off to you. I am gradually getting them all sent off.

Amanda picked that last weekend in July because she has to be back for start of school the 1st week in August, so this will work out just right. See you this summer.

Pam

floralgirl said...

So here we all sit waiting for a bear....

Mema Jo said...

I do need to leave

Thanks.

Mits said...

she's probably eating dr. rogers;)

Mema Jo said...

THANKS LYNN

Mits said...

NatureNut said...

Some of you were watching eagles on USee. com & when I typed it in got all kinds of flack about domain Error & security has not been approve----close this site---yada, yada, yada. Maybe that's the wrong address???? (I really don't need any more sites! My Faves is ten miles long! LOL)

NatureNut said...

It's Da Bear!!!

Mits said...

Loretta, have never had that problem, sent you the page I use, they are showing the deer now.

NatureNut said...

Lynn, thanks for listing Janie's info about the Deb Mem. Fund. How great that they will all be able to get together this summer.

floralgirl said...

That's nice, Lynn. Thanks

hedgie said...

I can't get Lily's cam to open on either computer.........boo!

Lynne2 said...

just look at that bear!!

NatureNut said...

BTW, Shirley, love the "can't find Roman keys"!!! Looks just like Jay Leno's street quiz!

Mits said...

guess NBG did not come on today:(

floralgirl said...

She is all curled up...

NatureNut said...

Bear is snoozing. Cam is so close you can only see 1/2 of her.

TY, Helen. Will check in awhile~~~ cooking & then shampoo time.

Lynne2 said...

I just checked too Mits...oh well, maybe something went wrong.

Mits said...

thanks for the info, Lynn

Costume Lady said...

GOOD EVENING...
Even though I have a NEW KNEE and a NEW HIP, I cann't open the Lilly Bear Cam:) I guess a new BRAIN might have helped. Maybe a new 'puter...working on that purchase. Thought the TLC I gave Capt. Gene last night after the fire alarm and the CPR and MOUTH to MOUTH to get the smoke out of his system, would get me a new 'puter, but it hasn't come yet.
It may be the fact that MOUTH TO MOUTH is no longer necessary:(

floralgirl said...

You do have to have the Adobe flash player to watch the bear cam.

Costume Lady said...

Lynn, thank you so much for working on the calendars. We need to compensate you in some way! Maybe a Cruise or your own Snow Plow;) Thank you so much for your work on this...We love you much!
Take your time, do it when you are much better:)

PA Nana said...

Max & mommy are recuperating nicely, He's back to normal except for little cough. He'll be 2 next Monday and his brother Jared will be 20 the following Monday. Max was a miracle baby and we're glad he's here.

Wanda, you so funny.

T-Bird said...

Hello eagle momsters and dadsters.

Mits said...

hi ya, Thelma:)

hedgie said...

Wanda, sounds to me like you didn't do enuf TLC if that new puter hasn't come yet!!! ROFL!
Have Adobe Flash....maybe need to delete and download it again!!

T-Bird said...

Good to see ya MITS. How 'bout them Ravens!!

hedgie said...

Glad that Max is doing better, Diann.
Mits, have you gotten any word on Ben and Maggie yet today???
Calendars WILL be delayed a few days, I'm afraid, gang. Ran out of envelopes, and sure don't feel like going out. Maybe in a day or two!

Mits said...

yeah, Thelma, how about them there Ravens, surprised me, might not be so lucky next week, but at least they got to the playoffs:)

Mits said...

I left a message on Annie's phone this a.m. Lynn, have not heard back, but know she is really busy, might try to call later after the kids are in bed....I don't want to be a pest, her parents live 5 minutes away, so I know they can help out, if needed.

ceil said...

Wanda I really thought the mouth to mouth would get you a new computer.

Mits said...

how was soup and sandwich day, Ceil, any thing interesting happen?

Mits said...

Lynn don'w worry about the calendars, worry about getting better......!

ceil said...

Mark McGwire admitted he took steroids. You think! Makes my blood boil. Will he give back all the money he made or the awards for the baseball record. He is sorry.

ceil said...

We were really short handed today. I came home and took a panda nap. We pack them in groups and we get finished the first group and we have a sandwich and a pastry left over. Had to reopen all the bags.
We were late leaving and some of the people were patiently waiting. The lady that gives us candy forgot we were coming. Rats.

Mits said...

yeah like the whole world did not know that:( what a duffus.

Lolly said...

Well, I missed the bear action this afternoon. However....are you ready for this?...it got up to 55 today, bright sunshine and I worked in the yard. Wahooooo!!!! Got myself a little vit. D!!!!

The water hoses thawed out so Jack burned leaves. We raked and cleaned a few flower beds. Daffodils are coming up.

ceil said...

I love the bear cam.

Mits said...

yep, gonna be a bear:)

Mits said...

I love daffodils, we are not allowed to burn leaves here, Lolly

Mits said...

went out yesterday and got a primrose plant, a cyclamen and a dozen multi-colored roses, just to spruce up the kitchen now that the decorations are all put away.

Lolly said...

Trying to figure out what I can see on the Lily cam. Anyone have an idea?

floralgirl said...

Lily's head is on the right, just behind that stick that's poking out into the pic. SHe is facing the cam.

Mits said...

she is laying on her back, it looks like, can see her nose and eyes that are closed

Mits said...

now a close up of her face

Lolly said...

We can burn when a burn ban is not in affect. We get burn bans when it is too dry.

Lolly said...

That is her face? Can not figure it out.

Mits said...

just a law in our county, no burning ever, think it has something to do with polluting the air....we rake and put to the curb and the county picks them up.

floralgirl said...

Her head is right behind that stick, her paw is covering her face, she is curled up in a ball facing the cam.

Mits said...

sometimes she puts her nose right up to the cam

floralgirl said...

I love it when she looks right into the cam.

Mits said...

I know, she is very pretty.

Mits said...

her eyes are open

Mits said...

good TV tonight, House is back on and new season of Dr. G medical examiner:)

floralgirl said...

About NBG cam today- WVEC page administor has been called out of town today and Monday so we will continue to work on some issues remotely, but slowly. Right now we are TENTATIVELY thinking that we can launch the regular cam next Wednesday, depending on resolution of last few problems. My fingers are crossed as I say that.

floralgirl said...

Whoops, that was from Friday, so they are hoping for this Weds. now

Mits said...

Wednesday is going to be a busy day

hedgie said...

Lolly, your 55 sounds delightful!
Daffodils already????
Yeah, McGwire---everybody knew but him, right??? What a scumbag. Sure hope they don't let him into Hall of Fame---and hope they stick to their guns and keep Pete Rose out, too! Wonder if the feds will charge McGwire with perjury for lying to the Senate committee????

Lolly said...

Yes, Lynn, the daffodils are up a couple of inches, some just peeking up.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Okay, I had been staying away from the bear cam but can't stay away any longer. I had to use your descriptions to know what I was seeing and am still not quite sure but I do know it is a bear!

It has been a dog-kind of evening here. Hairy escaped and I chased him everywhere cause I just didn't want him to kill another cat. To my knowledge, he didn't and came back home. Then Buddy had to roll in a little doggy do and make me gag quite nicely. All is clean and secure now, thank God!

Lolly said...

How are you feeling this evening, Lynn? Any improvement?

Mits said...

well that sounds like fun , Sharon

Lolly said...

Margy.....! You doll!! I received a delightful card in the mail today. It made my day! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

(((hugs!)))

Lolly said...

Oh, Sharon! Pets are such fun.

Mits said...

snowing at Pix cam

Mits said...

you can also access the bear cam from the Pix site

Lolly said...

Bear moved! Saw her face.

Mits said...

bear can't get comfortable

Lolly said...

Wonder what she is doing. Looks like she moved a little out of her den.

Mits said...

left the den

Mits said...

she's back

ceil said...

Just got off the phone with a friend. She knows I watch a lot of cams. Her grandson is 10 (I think) and got a labtop. She wanted some cam sites. She asked the right person. Kid will never get off the computer.

Mits said...

your in trouble now, Ceil:)

ceil said...

I thought when they hibernated they stayed in a deep sleep. Not this bear.

Mits said...

me too, but from what I have been reading, must have been an old wives tale

Mits said...

Lily is only 3yrs old

ceil said...

Maybe it will keep him out of trouble. He does do sports. He is a great kid.

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Gang,
I'll soon be getting ready to leave for school. Got some errands done. Find that my printer is out of ink! Rats--gotta go get some more. Hope I have enough of my homework printed up! Had to research cost of reference books for medical transcription (dictionary, medical dictionary, Stedman's book of Abbreviations & Acronyms, Quick Look Drug Book, PDR, specialty Word Books--at least 2, AHDI Book of Style or AAMT Book of Style--
3rd edition). The idea is to search Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Borders, or even e-Bay to find the best prices. Need software version price if available. Fun, huh?! Turns out that lots of what I'm looking for isn't available for the Sony Book Reader I have. Guess it's kinda new or something.
They have more for Kindle. Trouble is, lots of these sites I'm supposed to print to show pricing, print about 12 pages! Oh, well, guess I need to go get new ink. I'm going to go eat some quick dinner, and head to school. Maybe I can print more there if I get there early enough. Talk to you all later tonight! :o]

Mits said...

well off to find some dinner for myself...ttyl

ceil said...

Aww. Has she had cubs before?

Lynne2 said...

wow this bear cam is amazing!! did you see those claws!!

Mits said...

I don't know, but there are other bears they have watched before, just not on live cams

Lynne2 said...

No Ceil and they are not 100% sure she is pregnant, only that this would be the first year that she COULD be pregnant.

Lynne2 said...

I hope she isn't going to move all that debris in front of the camera! Wonder if she is "nesting" in prep for birth!!

ceil said...

this is her first set of cubs

hedgie said...

Nope, hibernation is kind of a myth. From what I understand, their metabolism slows way-y-y down making it unnecessary to for them to consume much food, and makes them drowsy....but they aren't in a coma or anything deep like that! They get out and roam around some when they want to!

ceil said...

Lynne isn't it amazing. I can hear her sniffing.

Lynne2 said...

I know!! What fun to watch....dinner is gonna burn.....

Mits said...

from bear website...

The bear in the den is named Lily and she is 3 years old. She is pregnant and expected to have cubs sometime in mid January

Lolly said...

She really is restless!

Lynne2 said...

looks like she's gotten herself all tucked in and snug...I'm jealous!

ceil said...

thanks Lynn I always thought it was safe to go in the woods in the winter.

ceil said...

Lolly she is restless. Poor thing. Maybe she is in labor.

hedgie said...

Thanks, gang---I feel a smidgen better, but not a whole lot!!!
Going to re-download Adobe flash on PC and then watch Jeopardy and House! BBL.
Andy, bet those books are all pretty steep!

Lynne2 said...

Just aced the HORSE category on Jeopardy! Not so much elsewhere!

Looks like our bear is resting comfortably for now....

ceil said...

bbl Think I will rest awhile.

Lynne2 said...

OK, better go save dinner before my poor husband gets home and has to eat shoe leather....BBL

Good Evening Happy Bear-Watching Eagle Pals...

Thanks for all the good information, Lynn, and your dedicated work with Deb's tributes and calendars and keeping us all updated by sharing emails.
And, hope you will continue to recover from the yuckies.

Lolly thanks for the Lily link....will watch but can't right now. Sorry your card was late!
But happy you got it today.

True Zoo Story~~"Binky Takes a Stroll"
This PM, I was going to store. Fubby opened door to tell me something & the ever clever Binky zoomed out & jumped off deck to driveway. Immediately, Shorty, the squirrel, jumped up on the deck & ran fast behind house. Binky, startled, got on tiptoes & jumped back to deck & went behind house also. Meanwhile, F was getting his shoes. I came back up to door & held it open while calling Binky, hoping for a miracle. She came around side of house & ran indoors!! I was told she then licked her feet. She may have gotten into the snow!Snow can be good!

Margy, if you find those Roman numeral keys, let me know. I need to help someone with that.

I heard that they stopped telling people to call 9-11 and started telling them to call 9-1-1 because some people couldn't find the 11 button on their phones.

I have returned from Pizza at Uno's and about 4 other stops looking for the burgandy drapes for the living room. No luck with the drapes being found yet!

I was just thinking about Lily and if we are concerned about our eagle couple being disturbed when we replace our cam, why don't we think Lily was disturbed? I am so glad she has settled down and is resting/sleeping again. I sure hope she does have some little cubs.
