magpie said...

Good Night to the Early Roosters, think I am going to be one of them myself tonight.....

Everything sounds great, a lot of play by play, musta been scary when no parents were on THE ROYAL EGG !! But all seems to be well

magpie said...

magpie said...

Also very glad to hear that Sissy is going to survive! Woof, what a pile of ailments.....

paula eagleholic said...

Margy, we heard one a couple of years ago...have a youtube video somewhere!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good night Eagle buds! See you in the morning light!!!

Lynne2 said...

I didn't know that song Margy, til I googled it...I do remember it! ( I had parents with really good taste in music and music was almost always on in the house) It's pretty!

Megan, do your song!

I'm hitting the rack...see you all in the morning!

magpie said...

Good Night now to all...
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥

hedgie said...

Margy, remember seeing Norma's post, but must have misread it---that does sound ominous.
Sleep well, dear girl. Hope you have a good day tomorrow.

floralgirl said...

If Sam is her grandkid she meant go to school, if it's her SIL she meant work, I suppose.

hedgie said...

Good night Sissy and Judie. Sissy, drink lots of fluids and get lots of sleep! Judie, hope your classes go well tomorrow.

Is Sam Dav's hubby or one of the kids??

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

My birthday song was "Hey Baby" by Brian Channel I think.

Mema Jo said...

Megan I hope you get a very very good email from a very very well known college for your daughter.

magpie said...

heated blanket's got the bed all warmed up, read back, Norma was back on after talking about Sam being sick...guess I just read it wrong...embarassed I don't know if Sam is Dav's husband or their son...sigh... forgive me Norma and
sorry if I alarmed anyone...
oh well forgot to say Prayers for Wellness for everyone and that includes SAM !!

xo night now pals

Mema Jo said...

lol Sharon your song is Soul Sister!

Norma will tell us tomorrow But did you ever think that Sam was a pet in poor health?

Just a thought

Margie have not been on FB since our Eagles took 1st preference. I chatted with Nilla last week one day & she was doing as well as we old gals can do

Mema Jo said...

Finishing a tv show

hedgie said...

Hope that Ceils' busy week is winding down. Miss her! And hope that Mits made it through her shift at the zoo okay---know it must have been hard, especially considering that she had said her goodbyes last week, and then had to do it again. :(

I am going to say my good nights. So much eggcitement has worn me out, as I'm sure everyone else is, too.
We will have to be on alert again for the next couple of days!

Prayers and peace!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Gang,
Dropping in to see what's happening.

Lynn, I absolutely LOVE the picture you took of the egg with Belle and Lib! It IS a winner!

Good to see that Margy made it back to the home roost OK. Sleep tight!
You too, Judie! Hope school goes well for both of you tomorrow!

Have been wondering today how I will EVER catch up on e-mails! May have to just give up and start over!

Think I'm gonna call it a night--I'm getting yawny. The night light is on, so's the porch light, and the eye scanner is ready to go.
Prayers being said for everyone. Have sweet dreams, and I'll talk to you in the morning! G'night, everybody. Love you guys! :o]

Ms Bookworm said...

Oops--good night, Lynn!

Ms Bookworm said...

...Goodnight to Sissy, too! Prayers for your healing!

Mema Jo said...

Heading back the hallway
Winds howling at the nest

Egg Roll

Mema Jo said...

Wish our eagle would do the Wiggle Wiggle so that I could go to bed

Mema Jo said...

I just gotta head into bed - very tired

Good Night All
Prayers for All

((hugs)) ♥ ♥ ♥

Costume Lady said...

This big snow coming Friday really scares me...hope Belle hangs on to the second egg til snow is over!

GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SLEEP WELL
PRAYERS FOR ALL

Lolly said...

Nite all! I have finished yet another tray of slides. Working on Michael's baby years. Golly, that was a long time ago. Sigh!

Time to go get ready for bed. Still raining here and it is headed your way.....sorry!!!!!!!

Belle looks like she is sound asleep.

Nite all! Sweet dreams! It has been a great day!

Lori O. said...

Good Morning pretty Belle and Eagle friends!

I feel so bad that there's even more snow coming, and maybe lots of it tomorrow & Saturday. 20" could bury you!

Belle, I know all the eaglet momsters will pray for your comfort and warmth. I wish there was more we could do but you've been doing this for a long time without our help. We'll be watching and cheering you on.

magpie said...

Belle is awake and looking around.

Good Morning everyone...

magpie said...

but now she is all tucked in to herself again...something I'd like to do right about now

Best wishes for a good day everyone.

And warm well wishes for the Panda travels today....

carolinabeachmom said...

Good Thursday morning to all watchers of Liberty and Belle and all other nests. Just checking in to see how the egg warming is coming along before I head out to work.

carolinabeachmom said...

Good morning to Margie and Norma. I just checked in for a sec, but got to run. Maybe we'll get our second egg tonight. You all have a wonderful day.

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh oh, eagle off egg and gone. Another comes in. Must be breakfast time. LaTER GATORS

floralgirl said...

Well, okay Norma:)

stronghunter said...

Good morning!

Made it to the end of American Idol and part of the news on Ch. 5 last night.

Watching Ch. 7. Oh dear, I see that might be some more snow on Tuesday. I had to buy a new snow shovel on the way home from work day before yesterday. No choice as to style. I took what they had. We have several shovels in various states of disprepair.

Got a bunch of things to take care of this morning, and should get to work early and take care of some chores there.

Megan, I am sure you are proud of your daughter and all of those college messages. How nice to have thme recruiting her.

One eagle departed and another arrived. Can't really see the egg at the moment.

Good parents, our eagles! They are about to face a challenge for sure in the next week.

stronghunter said...

. . . have them recruiting her.

stronghunter said...

Sorry! Guess I stepped on someone's message. Got a "conflicting edits" message.

floralgirl said...

Yes, Shirley, we are:)

stronghunter said...

My weather forecast shows freezing rain on Tuesday and snow showers Wednesday and Thursday of next week. Batten down the hatches, everyone. Get your supplies.

stronghunter said...

Hi Megan! Good morning.

floralgirl said...

Good morning:)
yes, people better get supplies today if they don't have them, people could be snowed in for days.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' CANDY--MEGAN & SHIRLEY!--I have been watching the nest!!--SO FUNNY!---LIB was on the nest sitting backwards--ho!!---After lots of WING FLAPPING---BELLE RETURNS!!--& she takes great pain in sitting back on the nest---double checking the egg!---Such a good MOM!!--ONLY SAW THE ONE EGG!

normabyrd said...

We--here in WV-- are expecting SNOW HAPPENINGS 'TOMORROW'---BIG TIME!!!----Going to try to get to W/OUT today!!

normabyrd said...

CANDY--What your weather doing?

normabyrd said...

WHOA SHIRLEY!---I think we must keep an eye on LIB!---Not many EAGLE 'know hows'!--he IS WHAT MITS calls a STICK MAN!--ho!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning Eagle buds! If they make that egg cup much deeper, it is going to fall out the bottom! Seems like our eggs are always the best kept secrets! Such good parents!!! Hope everyone is well. I am feeling much, much better! That steroid shot really did me some good!!!

Mits said...

good Thursday morning everyone....have a good one

Mits said...

Watching Tai Shan this a.m., and he is ready to go, wants to get out that door:)

stronghunter said...

Aww, Norma, Lib is a guy. He does need Belle for sure.

stronghunter said...

Hi Mits, I keep thinking of you when I see the news stories about Tai Shan. I am sure my Susan is watching too. She spent time with Tai Shan back when she was a zoo volunteer.

Mits said...

yes, Shirley, bitterseet day, sad to see him leave, but happy he will be a part in saving the endangered species.

Mits said...

where was Susan working when she was a volunteer there?

normabyrd said...

MORNIN'-- SISSY & MITS!----WE WILL ALL MISS 'TAI'---I remember him from day #1---when he was born!!---He has always been my FAVORITE TOO!!!!---SO LONG 'LITTLE PRINCE!!---GOD BLESS!!

stronghunter said...

Susan worked in a variety of places. She did spend time on the Asian trail and is particularly fond of elephants. She still has fun when she goes to the zoo to show someone around and finds people listening to her as if she is still a guide.

I know she would still be doing it if she had time, but going to school and working at a job is all she can do.

stronghunter said...

I really have to get ready to go to work! Bye for now.

normabyrd said...

WHOA! SHIRLEY---No difference in MOM or DAD when taking care of the little ones!!----THINGS HAVE CHANGED!!! ho!

Mits said...

there he goes in the crate

normabyrd said...

later---W/OUT---pray i don't slide down the hill--

NatureNut said...

Hello Everyone!
Was watching NZ & didn't see a crate or anything, just rock wall on one cam & adult eating bamboo out in snow. Boo

NatureNut said...

Fubby found all the Panda activities on CH. 5. At 8:15 Mei Lan will lv. Atlanta and both will meet at Dulles & go non stop to China. Tai Shan will go in the Fed Ex truck to Dulles.Bon voyage!!We love you both!♥♥
2 staff members will go & stay there for a week while they get settled & NZ says they should be reporting from there.

Dana Gray said...

Good Morning everyone. Hows the nest this AM?

Mits said...

Loretta, it was just a brief pic of Tai in the crate, once the keepers came out, they went to other pics, keepers do not want to be on the panda cam...his keeper Nichole and a Vet will be traveling with him, once the plane touches down in China, Nichole will turn him over to his new keeper, they are scheduled to stay 4 days, he will go immediately into quarantine, so there is no reason for them to stay any longer

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Been reading the farewell stuff on NZ page and Atlanta. Now I am bawling!!! WOW!

Mits said...

But we still have 2 beautiful Giant Pandas, and they are hopeful, since the AI went so well, that maybe we will have another cub....:)

NatureNut said...

Thx, Helen, for more details---that is what I read.

I checked one of the online weather reports for this area & they say snow won't start here until 5 PM Friday. If it was earlier I would consider going to work today.

Mits said...

I did more consoling and comforting yesterday than interpreting...but did impress upon people that this is so important to the future of the species.

Lynne2 said...

Good bittersweet morning everyone.

Godspeed Tai and Mei. I can't help but think how nervous they will be not really knowing what's going on. How long will the flight be? Mits, do you know if they are going to have sedation, or if it's safer for them to travel without?

Mits said...

no sedation, Lynne, 15 hour non-stop trans-atlantic flight because it is faster....watching channel 5, the are keeping a split screen up, he is loaded onto the pallet, and keepers are handfeeding him and saying good-bye...:(

NatureNut said...

Just got updated weather report on TV that snow will start in DC area Friday right after 12 noon! By late afternoon & evening may fall at 1" an hour!!
CH 5 has small screen on of NZ & just showed them hand feeding Tai some fruit it looked like thru bars of crate. Going back to watch...

Lynne2 said...

I don't have channel 5! I can't find it on my FIOS

Mits said...

its a DC station Lynn....it was probably his favorite fruit, Loretta which is pears.

Mits said...

talk to you all later.

Mits said...

didn't mean to take up eagle blog space for panda stuff, just hope the species in the future recovers as well as the eagles have.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Oh wow, if it is inappropriate to talk panda on here, I am in big trouble. I love eagles and pandas alike!!!!
