03/01/10: Technical Note We see the cams are down. We may need to reboot our computer when the Visitor Center opens this morning.
We just updated our Eagle Cam Gallery with photos of both eaglets hatching -- the 1st on Feb. 26 and the 2nd on Feb. 28. Thanks to all those who sent in their photos.
Thanks for the new thread Steve Found this article today. I think most of you here will find it as alarming as I do regarding the status of the Bald Eagles. The Bald Eagle Count
Good Morning All!! Want to thank you all for your concern stated last night to all we dental visitors. Gotta jump in the shower soon. BW down, but new pics of those tiny cuties in gallery. Wanda, how prophetic your message was today.Hopefully you can enlist others to be on your team, so you can get a break now & then & it won't be so taxing on you & Gene. My godfather & wife did Meals on Wheels for awhile after retirement. Well, have a great day~~~BBL ☺
Ha Ha just went back to old blog to catch up...can ya tell I hadn't read it before I posted this morning?
Good to see you here Lynne. How is Miss Daisy? I finally started walking my dogs again last night. Can you believe some idiot still doesn't have his sidewalk cleared? Think I'll call the town government.
Daisy is just, well, Daisy! She is doing really well with her home schooling in obedience training (sit, stay, heel, sort of! leave it, drop it)...except when she's outside. I've been to obedience classes, and I am no stranger to dogs in general. So after much thought and research, I've decided what she needs is a trainer to come HERE, and help us learn to get her wild self under control, one on one. Or 2 on one. She is so easily distracted and the lunging and pulling on the leash is too much. We have a "no pull harness", but that just keeps her from doing those things when she's on it...only because she can't. It's not helping get her under control. I found a really highly recommended trainer for several sessions at what a standard class would cost and I think this will be money better spent. She is coming on March 20. She talked with me at great length on the phone and I can't wait to get started!
oh my gosh, that poor eagle! Really leaves you wondering what happened that it hit the house that way. And what became of it. Personally, I'd have grabbed him in a blanket and taken him for help!
Jo, I was so happy to hear about the family's soon to be return to the states from Germany! Fort Bragg sure is better than...well, anyplace further! Steve was at Ft. Bragg when he was in the 82nd Airborne!
My Boo was the same way on the leash..he finally grew out of most of it. Still goes at it when first out for a walk, pulls a lot, but then he calms down. What's really hard is when they see a rabbit when I'm talking them for a walk! Hold ON!
Well, I emailed Emmitsburg town government and told them I thought 2 weeks was plenty of time to clear the sidewalk...we'll see what happens...and I know it's not an elderly couple living there...
Well, I am very warm now. Walking does that to you.
What an eagle story. I do wish they had searched more for it and tried to get it help. Since it hit so hard, it was surely injured.
Glad you liked the Jacob story. I do think their games and practice will be cancelled tonight. Too much rain. So, I will have more personal time with them. Love picking Jacob up at school. Laurel will bring Joseph home as his school is nest door to her school. He gets out at 3:00, Laurel's school gets out at 3:30. She can leave at 4:00. Joseph sits with a few others in the office and then student council members supervise them until 4:00. A good job for the older students and really helps Laurel. Joseph gets his homework done at that time.
Good afternoon, one and all. Guess I am the first of the dental patients to make it online! And it hasn't been easy---I keep getting thrown off line with any thing I click on....will see what happens when I try to post this!
I opened up Pix after your post this morning Mits, saw the turkeys and I have a loud hum on that one and have for awhile. Also, this morning I had live feed up for NCTC - first 5 mins no problem, then I had all the sounds and no movement... I only bring it up once in awhile. Wanted to see that ad with the birds singing, but all I heard was a loud Eagle Peep !
New Octopus on Exhibit At a mere three pounds, the Zoo’s new giant Pacific octopus doesn’t appear to have earned its name. Yet not only will it grow to be more than 13 times its current size over the next year, it will also play a big role in teaching researchers and recruiting fans. Read more. | Check out the octopus cam.
Margy, so glad you have another day off! LOL--I probably could go to bed and sleep the rest of the day! But Cinnamon would NOT be happy! Glad you have another day off, kiddo!
Back from dentist~~~~was a piece of cake w/lots of Novocaine.Don't know why all the preliminary anguish. No solid food, no hot or cold drinks, etc. And of course Fubby made himself toaster blueberry pancakes! BOO!Smell so good~~ Soap on now, BBL...
Loretta - good to hear it was a piece of cake! Don't suck on any straws! Once the Novocaine wears off I hope it still feels good. Bet you're glad you had steak last night! lol
Loretta, glad you are done, too! I think pancakes are soft enough that you could manage that! Nope, Jo, no more work to do---he took out old filling, refilled and used an anchor pin and white filling on outside.
Bob, sorry you have to have the cataract removal, but it's pretty much a piece of cake procedure nowadays! One question....just how much better can your photos get with two good eyes?? LOL! glad Sarah's toe is coming along. Give her our best!
Congrats to Mattie ☺!! Bob, glad Sarah is better & hope all goes well w/your eye! Guess your car and garage wall will be happy! Lynn, dentist said I wouldn't need any painkillers,HA, DUH (but I got Rx anyway--sure helped my back afetr planting & shoveling snow!)I think Novacaine wore off ,as it hurts from ear to chin now!! But this too will pass. I may have to talk to Bob. I ordered a telephoto lens & just came. But box says Macro!!!Size in mms is correct! I'm basically a point & shooter----there's no time to do settings when critters are moving arround! Have to study I guess.
decided to change calendar pages instead first have one beautiful nesting bald eagle (Deb), one red fox, (Wanda and Gene), one green heron,(Bob's) one red squirrel, (WV DNR)one godchild
Loretta - Many lens are "multifunction". If it is the length you wanted it should be fine. Macro just means it will be able to focus at both a normal distance and when you get really close to things. I use a 100mm macro for my flower photos but it makes a great portrait lens too. I also used it at a family soccer game.
Bob, you seem way too young for cataract surgery! Glad Sarah's toe is on the mend.
The house eagle was in Oregon, I believe.
Talked to DIL, they thought she passed something this morning, but she hasn't heard back from Dr. But still has pain, so if she did, there's more to come.
Paula - Young? You flatter me. ☺ I am a young 56. Since I have the cataract in only one eye the Doc thinks I must have had a trauma to the eye at some point.
Thx Margy for the reminder on calendars.Got Deb's nest eagle & the green heron on CBF & WWF is around here somewhere. Heard from Chrissy across the Pond awhile back & her regular dentist tried to pull a wisdom tooth they said had to be removed. He broke it off & it's terribly sensitive. She ran out of painkillers & had to get approved for appt. w/specialists at Dental Hospital. That was going to be 4 or 5 weeks away !So much for socialized med! Hope we don't get that. That's the end of med stories, after all, this is an eagle/animal Blog! ☺
Thx, Bob!! You should teach a class to us amateurs! I'm going to test this on that dreaded eagle nest at Park that is too faraway from the road! If it works, fine, if not, being returned.
Yes, Paula, couldn't wait for roads to be all clear. Yellow perch season is starting. First call I got was from a man who had been trying to get to fishing spot WAY over on creek near the Potomac!!!He said road was closed from downed trees & was it clear yet!!!???? Like sure, we know about something 15-20 miles away. Awhile back a lady called & said her bus transportation was awful! I tried ti give them some other agencies. What is going on w/Lily & cubby???More noise than I've ever heard before.
Smithsonian's National Zoo Andean Bear Parents Announce Twin Bear Cub Births Mon, 3/1/2010 - 11:58 AM
By Karin Korpowski-Gallo
Washington, DC - Two Andean bear cubs, Tremarctos ornatus (also known as the spectacled bear), were born at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. Four year-old Billie Jean is believed to have given birth to the twins over a 24-hour period while denned in a secluded section of her indoor exhibit; one cub was born at about 8 a.m. Jan. 14, and the other was born at roughly the same time Jan. 15.
Animal care staff has monitored the cubs via closed-circuit infrared camera and vocalizations heard through a sound monitor. The staff was able to distinguish verbal squeals and cries from one cub the first morning and determined two distinct, simultaneous cries the next day, indicating the birth of a second cub. Mother and cubs are not expected to be on exhibit for visitors until spring, however, during their denning period, the National Zoo has added a special bear web camera for public viewing. Check in on Billie Jean and her two cubs at http://nationalzoo.si.edu/goto/Andeanbears.
Lynn I agree the article is not at all encouraging but needs to be addressed and word needs to get out. Its more than just the shad in the Mississippi that is causing such a decline in their numbers. Mentions something in there about TN and FL already taking some steps to address the problem in their areas. I surely hope its a heads up for many. Around here they just kept saying all is OK. Just wait til the counts come out. Then when they did it appears All is NOT OK "
she is adorable, such a beautiful face, all I saw on the cam was Billie Jean, but won't be long before I guess you will see the cubs...let's hope Mei Xiang has the same luck.
funny you should ask that Sharon, we have a new cam boss, and I will not bore you with what I think of him, so by this time last year, we had already had a meeting about the pregnancy watch, just to be ready, anyhow, the only hormone report we have had is that she did ovulate, and now they will just watch the levels, I suspect the end of April, beginning of May, have not decided if I will do the pregnancy watch.... I really liked the guy I worked with before, but he left several months ago.
Hello Eagle Friends..........I can't stay long, but wanted to say hello. I am going to speed read two days and have some dinner. Hubby roasted a chicken, stuffed with barley. He's a keeper. LOL
Andrea Thanks for the info about the second egg at Hummingbird nest... usually you post and I finally remembered to check in daylight and saw them, and Phoebe
Hope you are all having or will have a good evening.
Hoping for more relief for our dental victims...
Paula, hope Ajay's condition improves quickly... will you be taking care of the children tomorrow?
Dinner is finished... Sunset to the west tonight was beautiful. With 6mph wind chill it is 35°. I'm sure the Wed rain showers will rid us of any snow on the ground and then the 50° weather on Saturday will make us think that Spring has arrived. I need some daffodils...
Viewed the pics in Momster's album, Margy. Great captures. I don't know if I should make anything of the HP It would be too far inbetween for another egg... I think. I'm sure Lib knows what it was all about - lol
no, he looked about the same, they had just had some snow recently and he was rolling around and climbing trees, his face on some pics I saw, has panda bread crumbs all over it.
only because those comments on Feathers and Fur went on an older post, did you seem like they were not posted...I just hit the publish button...Thank You ! xo
I think I have it set at 4 weeks or something like that....so I can see new comments ☺
Who likes trains? Sharon not too much train, but a lot of scenery and layout on Fun and Dandy (from Roundhouse Museum) The old cars, one of my favorite things to see, and old McDonald's and things like that. Also another trolley on there I forgot what I was supposed to be doing...file papers I think
Heading up to John's a little later, after I can let the dogs out for the last time. I'll spend the night there tonight, and see Cohen off to pre-school in the morning. Then Brensin and I will come down and let the dogs out, then go back to John's for the rest of the day.
No further update on Ajay, John had a lot to do this evening, so we only talked for a couple of minutes. I'll get an update after I get up there. I took her a fruit smoothie at lunchtime :) She is only a couple of miles from work.
Glad everyone's appointments went well.
We need to put out some sort of alert for our Megan!
Oh yes, Blackwater. You can certainly do it in a day...but it will be a long one. I can't go on the 13th. Ajay's friend is throwing her a baby shower, since she is having a girl :)
Maybe we could do an over-nighter to Cambridge (Blackwater). PAJAMA PARTY would be a hoot! We could rent a Motel room and we have room for 6 in the Eagle Express:)
Looks like everyone was at the dentist recently...........
When Zoo staff discovered that 15-year-old female western lowland gorilla, Kigali, had a fractured tooth, they called upon an outside veterinary dental specialist to fix it. He performed root canal surgery and repaired the fracture.
Here is the link to vote for Savannah and Derek's eaglet. I sure hope they don't name it Colbert, Steven Colbert already has an eagle named Steven Jr, one of the Channel Island eagles. Maybe they didn't know that.
Well after checking the rules, you have to be a NC or SC resident to vote.
I need to vent! Fixing dinner, phone rang, a student called me here at home. Do NOT give personal information to students. Little creep must have googled. Said he didn't know what to do about the exam tomorrow. -- broke his finger. Policy is in the syllabus -- READ IT! Just cannot comprehend the lack of boundaries -- who is raising the kids?
Okay, I'm better. Thanks!
Jo, crispy taters are just sort of crispy and I was extra careful.
How about that Tai Shan -- rolling in Panko!
Like the name Hope for Lily's cub.
Jo, I heard that a TRAIN filled with daffodils stopped at the Sheetz store. Just a rumor, I'm sure.
Well, that doesn't seem like such a big deal, Judy. Ajay is in the hospital on IV and pain meds, and they dropped her out of her classes. Talk about being pissed. She missed a discussion, so they dropped both her classes...7 weeks into a 9 week class. John has been trying to deal with that this evening, too. He finally had to leave a message.
John brought her a laptop to the hospital, but she just hasn't been able to concentrate long enough to try to get her assignments completed. They had to re-up her pain meds, she was at 1/2 dose.
Paula - you could still watch Good Wife There is always a side story completed each time about her case. Wanda or I could clue you in on the ongoing saga!
Paula you need to do like Glo did when leaving her dogs - Pack the overnite bag down in the basement area or the laundry room if it has a door. They are sometimes much smarter than we give them credit.
The Good Wife, in a nutshell...Husband was unfaithful with a Ho...wife found out. Husband went to prison for conduct unbecoming a husband. Wife is a lawyer and went back to work after husband's incarcination, she got tired of eating Bon-Bons. Husband got a new trial and wants to come home while waiting on such. Will wife forgive him? Stay tuned....
There are some nice egg check pictures on the Maine Forum for NCTC Dellwo Hummingbird is first on the Beakspeak list, today and last seven days (seems kind of surprising) We're still on the Last 7 days list
It's kind of early for this.... but Good Night !
Prayers for all the needs here, and for our families and loved ones... Happiness prayers offered for all the joys of the day
Talked to John, good news is Ajay is supposed to come home tomorrow, they are prescribing some meds that should help with the pain and are safe for baby. Can't believe they haven't done a sonogram or whatever they need to to look at the darn little stone!
Wanda - that's about what I read today about the show...didn't know there was a HO involved! Guess you could call another woman that!
You are right, Paula. My situation is no big deal. I am very sorry about your daughter-in-law's health concerns and now her school issues, as well. I think that under the circumstances, it could be arranged to give her incompletes based on her medical condition and the time already committed to her courses. Medical verification should be all that is needed. Again, I am sorry and wish you all the best.
LOL at your synopsis, Wanda!! Actually, hubby went to prison for wrongdoing in his capacity as a lawyer, which is supposedly trumped up!
Jo, 5 months ago......coming soon! If anyone is interested: Damages stars Glenn Close, in a typically evil role, this time as a crooked attorney! And Michael Nouri (Flashdance, Young&Restless) is her soon-to-be-ex hubby!

Wanda, how prophetic your message was today.Hopefully you can enlist others to be on your team, so you can get a break now & then & it won't be so taxing on you & Gene.

parent just came back at Dunedin
she is tiding up the nest, moving big sticks out of the way to have more room for the young ones
Ooops! :)
Ha Ha just went back to old blog to catch up...can ya tell I hadn't read it before I posted this morning?
Good to see you here Lynne. How is Miss Daisy? I finally started walking my dogs again last night. Can you believe some idiot still doesn't have his sidewalk cleared? Think I'll call the town government.
I don't think anyone mentioned the littlest chick at Dunedin didn't survive :(
I saw just the two there this morning Paula....and it occurred to me that there had been three...
shows you how far out of touch I been on that nest
:(
Good morning, everyone.
Thank you, Steve. Have a lovely day.
Wanda, seems you and Gene ave a new purpose in life. Just be sure to enlist helpers so you don't become over-burdened.
Hoping for a painless day for the dentist-bound momsters.
Lynne, nice to see you back. How's miss Daisy doing?
Glo, look for the vacuum under the remaining, highest, most frozen snow drift.
Paula, how's your DIL?
Lolly, enjoy the day with the grandboys.
Lovely sunshine here but windy.
Okay, coffee over so must return to grading.
BBL
Good morning again to everyone...
after reading Wanda's
post on the old thread,
decided it was time to ring up an old friend....
Hope it is a good day.
Pretty cold outside here
Lemon cookies would have been the ones I would have ordered Mits,you know, Lent, no chocolate, guess I am glad I did not
xo
Could you imagine this happening to you?
Bald eagle strikes house

She talked with me at great length on the phone and I can't wait to get started!
Very nice to come on and it's a new thread. Thanks, Steve.
It's a little blustery out there but temps sure aren't as high as expected.
Thanks for the article Glo and it was so great to see you at the dam in your working gear!
Need to read earlier comments...

oh my gosh, that poor eagle! Really leaves you wondering what happened that it hit the house that way. And what became of it. Personally, I'd have grabbed him in a blanket and taken him for help!
Jo, I was so happy to hear about the family's soon to be return to the states from Germany! Fort Bragg sure is better than...well, anyplace further! Steve was at Ft. Bragg when he was in the 82nd Airborne!

My Boo was the same way on the leash..he finally grew out of most of it. Still goes at it when first out for a walk, pulls a lot, but then he calms down. What's really hard is when they see a rabbit when I'm talking them for a walk! Hold ON!
Don't take my ten dollar bill - LOVED the Jacob story, Lolly.
WOW to the eagle that hit the house.
I still don't think it is safe for birds (other than owls) to fly in the dark! lol
Good to have you back with us Lynne.
Hope Daisy is behaving for you & Steve
Ft Bragg suits me just fine - remember it could have been Iceland!!

Our satellite dish modem is having a technical issue. We're working to fix it; thanks for your patience.
Good to read that Daisy is getting a personal trainer. Hoping that it helps.
I think Steve and I will be the ones getting the training!!
Thanks for the update, Lynne.
Lolly - that was a cute story...
Well, I emailed Emmitsburg town government and told them I thought 2 weeks was plenty of time to clear the sidewalk...we'll see what happens...and I know it's not an elderly couple living there...

Good afternoon, one and all.
Guess I am the first of the dental patients to make it online! And it hasn't been easy---I keep getting thrown off line with any thing I click on....will see what happens when I try to post this!
I'm still numb and have a headache. Other than that, I survived!
Lynne, good to see you back with us!
Glo and Paula---will wait til I get on PC to read your articles.
Wnada, you and Gene are making a big committment! Please don't let it wear you down!! Perfect timing ion Joels' message.
Lily and cub are really being vocal...
glad that visit is over, Lynn:)
2 eagles our nest
yes they are, Margy, along with that horrible buzz.
HP? What in the world! Need more eggs maybe?
Both our eagles in our nest
Lily is very vocal
Cub is nursing
just a little afternoon delight;)
Well Wow
I only have the still cam on and I THOUGHT that was what it was ! ♥ ♥

Okay, Lynn...recover now....go to bed and rest.....
Go Away Headache !
Sharon

Hum is back at Lily's?? No fun.
HP? Could a second clutch be added to what's left of #1????
I opened up Pix after your post this morning Mits, saw the turkeys and I have a loud hum on that one and have for awhile.
Also, this morning I had live feed up for NCTC - first 5 mins no problem, then I had all the sounds and no movement...

Glad you have another day off, kiddo!
thanks Lynn
I am practicing for the day long ahead of now for when I can retire
today and Tues normal days off
Good afternoon all!
Lynn Glad you are finished - do you need to go back for anymore work?
Put your head down for awhile.
Hope to hear from the others soon.
Hello Bob
Anything new with you?
How is Sarah's toe - did it heal ok.
Bob - are you planning to go to the Eagle Festival March 13 at BlackWater?
Sarah's toe is doing well. X-Ray's look great. She got the OK to start doing the treadmill again.
Yes, on the Eagle Festival. I will actually be displaying / selling some of my stuff there. Are any Momsters going?
Was at BW yesterday, haven't processed the photos yet.
Back from dentist~~~~was a piece of cake w/lots of Novocaine.Don't know why all the preliminary anguish.
No solid food, no hot or cold drinks, etc. And of course Fubby made himself toaster blueberry pancakes! BOO!Smell so good~~
Soap on now, BBL...
Mattie won first place in her category at the Mercer County Social Studies Fair!
Thanks Margy! Love it!
And I got to hear them announce it. I love cell phones!
They will go to the Regional fair in Beckley on March 20. She did the project with her BFFs Olivia and Taylor!
That's wonderful news, Sharon...
Congratulations Mattie !!
What was her project, Sharon...
Sounds good Loretta
and also Bob...
about Sarah, and your upcoming pics and plans for the festival
we have been talking about the festival on here...not sure if anyone is going or not....
Something on Ethiopia.
ok thanks double E-S
If we pass the word that you're going to be at the Eagle Festival maybe some will come down.
WHoo Hoo Mattie Jane and friends
Loretta - good to hear it was a piece of cake! Don't suck on any straws!
Once the Novocaine wears off I hope it still feels good. Bet you're glad you had steak last night! lol
Almost 2:00 - finished lunch but forgot about the street clothes...
BBILW
That IS Big News Bob...
hope it goes picture perfect for you !
You know we are down to ONE Egg at NCTC - Bob ?
sometime since Feb 23
egg check now at our nest
Oh, my---37 emails just on AOL. Haven't checked Momsters Yahoo yet!
Have 5 items on eBay for Christie that go off this afternoon....hoping they sell. Have had watchers but no bidders as of Sat.
I'm both looking forward to it and nervous. The idea of cutting into my eye is freaky.
One egg is better than none. ☺
Yes it sure is Bob....on Feb 25 is for sure when we were only seeing one
well, you know we will keep you in our thoughts for the surgery...
and prayers, for the best care available on the planet for you
Loretta, glad you are done, too! I think pancakes are soft enough that you could manage that!
Nope, Jo, no more work to do---he took out old filling, refilled and used an anchor pin and white filling on outside.
Bob, sorry you have to have the cataract removal, but it's pretty much a piece of cake procedure nowadays! One question....just how much better can your photos get with two good eyes?? LOL! glad Sarah's toe is coming along. Give her our best!
Congrats, Mattie!!!
congrats, Mattie...good luck Bob.
Is this Liberty on the nest?
seems more restless than Belle
got to go demolish the checkbook
Good Afternon to everyone...
just finally remembered to check hummingbird nest, two eggs in view now
Andrea has been mentioning that !
and that fast, Phoebe returns !
ttfn xo
Well, with two good eyes I should have better depth perception and stop driving into the garage wall. ☺
yeah, Bob that should help;)
Congrats to Mattie ☺!!
Bob, glad Sarah is better & hope all goes well w/your eye! Guess your car and garage wall will be happy!
Lynn, dentist said I wouldn't need any painkillers,HA, DUH (but I got Rx anyway--sure helped my back afetr planting & shoveling snow!)I think Novacaine wore off ,as it hurts from ear to chin now!! But this too will pass.
I may have to talk to Bob. I ordered a telephoto lens & just came. But box says Macro!!!Size in mms is correct! I'm basically a point & shooter----there's no time to do settings when critters are moving arround! Have to study I guess.
decided to change calendar pages instead first
have one beautiful nesting bald eagle (Deb), one red fox, (Wanda and Gene),
one green heron,(Bob's) one red squirrel, (WV DNR)one godchild
☺
Sorry you're hurting, Loretta. Glad you got the Rx filled---take it! Bob should be able to tell you what you need to know about the new lens for sure!
Glo, article is not terribly encouraging. Definitely echoes many of your observations. Wonder if JR was involved in the count flights in MO?
Paula, hope the house eagle is okay. Missed it===wasn't it Portland, Maine or Oregon?
Loretta - Many lens are "multifunction". If it is the length you wanted it should be fine. Macro just means it will be able to focus at both a normal distance and when you get really close to things. I use a 100mm macro for my flower photos but it makes a great portrait lens too. I also used it at a family soccer game.
Bob, you seem way too young for cataract surgery! Glad Sarah's toe is on the mend.
The house eagle was in Oregon, I believe.
Talked to DIL, they thought she passed something this morning, but she hasn't heard back from Dr. But still has pain, so if she did, there's more to come.
Paula - Young? You flatter me. ☺ I am a young 56. Since I have the cataract in only one eye the Doc thinks I must have had a trauma to the eye at some point.
Thx Margy for the reminder on calendars.Got Deb's nest eagle & the green heron on CBF & WWF is around here somewhere.
Heard from Chrissy across the Pond awhile back & her regular dentist tried to pull a wisdom tooth they said had to be removed. He broke it off & it's terribly sensitive. She ran out of painkillers & had to get approved for appt. w/specialists at Dental Hospital. That was going to be 4 or 5 weeks away !So much for socialized med! Hope we don't get that.
That's the end of med stories, after all, this is an eagle/animal Blog! ☺
Thx, Bob!! You should teach a class to us amateurs! I'm going to test this on that dreaded eagle nest at Park that is too faraway from the road! If it works, fine, if not, being returned.
Dear Margy, Saturday at Park saw that cute older (12ish?) boy who looks just like James. He did go out on boat & friend caught a couple fish.
Well, Bob, yes I would think 56 is young....I wouldn't consider it as geezing yet :)
Fishing already, Loretta? Didn't think they would be catching anything yet.
That looks like a piece of trash in our nest, right next to Belle in the middle of her body.
Yes, Paula, couldn't wait for roads to be all clear. Yellow perch season is starting.
First call I got was from a man who had been trying to get to fishing spot WAY over on creek near the Potomac!!!He said road was closed from downed trees & was it clear yet!!!???? Like sure, we know about something 15-20 miles away. Awhile back a lady called & said her bus transportation was awful! I tried ti give them some other agencies.
What is going on w/Lily & cubby???More noise than I've ever heard before.
Smithsonian's National Zoo Andean Bear Parents Announce Twin Bear Cub Births
Mon, 3/1/2010 - 11:58 AM
By Karin Korpowski-Gallo
Washington, DC - Two Andean bear cubs, Tremarctos ornatus (also known as the spectacled bear), were born at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. Four year-old Billie Jean is believed to have given birth to the twins over a 24-hour period while denned in a secluded section of her indoor exhibit; one cub was born at about 8 a.m. Jan. 14, and the other was born at roughly the same time Jan. 15.
Animal care staff has monitored the cubs via closed-circuit infrared camera and vocalizations heard through a sound monitor. The staff was able to distinguish verbal squeals and cries from one cub the first morning and determined two distinct, simultaneous cries the next day, indicating the birth of a second cub. Mother and cubs are not expected to be on exhibit for visitors until spring, however, during their denning period, the National Zoo has added a special bear web camera for public viewing. Check in on Billie Jean and her two cubs at http://nationalzoo.si.edu/goto/Andeanbears.
Loretta, Chrissy's apptmt. with the oral surgeon is tomorrow.
What a long haul of suffering.
BWE back online
Lynn I agree the article is not at all encouraging but needs to be addressed and word needs to get out. Its more than just the shad in the Mississippi that is causing such a decline in their numbers. Mentions something in there about TN and FL already taking some steps to address the problem in their areas. I surely hope its a heads up for many. Around here they just kept saying all is OK. Just wait til the counts come out. Then when they did it appears All is NOT OK "
Thanks Mits for the link to the Andean Bear cam Hopefully we'll see some action on there soon!
They just showed Billie Jean on the news, Mits! What a lovely bear.
she is adorable, such a beautiful face, all I saw on the cam was Billie Jean, but won't be long before I guess you will see the cubs...let's hope Mei Xiang has the same luck.
last time I looked there were 2 fish at BWE, someone ate the head of one...
When does the cub watch start, Mits?
Lynne, having a trainer come to Daisy might be the best solution. Sure hoping for the best.
Lolly, forgot this a.m. that the Jacob story is really priceless. I still have trouble with that concept.
Lynn and Lowreeda, glad you are both back from the dentist, that all seems to have gone well, and that discomfort disappears quickly.
Congratulations to Mattie & Co. Ethiopia - interesting.
Bob, we'll all be with you for the cataract removal. Darth had one removed and hardly even knew anything had happened.
Paula, do so hope DIL will get relief soon. So sorry for her discomfort.
Andean bear babies. How cool! Speaking of bears, Lily's cub has been really vocal. I think it is trying to do some exploring and mom is not too happy.
Off to the kitchen. I think a.m. in the p.m. Maybe an omelet with oven crisp taters and something green.
BBL
funny you should ask that Sharon, we have a new cam boss, and I will not bore you with what I think of him, so by this time last year, we had already had a meeting about the pregnancy watch, just to be ready, anyhow, the only hormone report we have had is that she did ovulate, and now they will just watch the levels, I suspect the end of April, beginning of May, have not decided if I will do the pregnancy watch.... I really liked the guy I worked with before, but he left several months ago.
feeding at BWE
Channel 4 NBC News is going to show some Tai Shan in China pics in a few minutes!! ☺
well just a tail from that one fish at BWE now, everyone has been fed.
Tai Shan will be out of quarentine in China on Friday!!
I watched as soon as you posted Loretta, all I saw was the Olympics
yes the Chinese were inviting people from DC to come see him this weekend.
Oops...,make that quarAntine!
Thanks for heads up, Loretta--hit the tape button!
We just had two eagles in the nest
It's pretty darn crazy when the still cam is about three minutes ahead of the live feed...here at this roost that is
I just about fell over, thought I saw two eggs...it was brief then I only saw one. Sure it is these eyes and not reality
2 out of three... Lynn and Loretta made it out, or is that Loretta Lynn....
hope Norma go through her dentist experience OK
That's neat news about the Andean Bear cubs, and Tai Shan's prospective "freedom" from quarantine
Okay, I hate to tell this because it will probably stop but my cam has been running for an hour and 47 minutes straight without restarting.
Hello Eagle Friends..........I can't stay long, but wanted to say hello. I am going to speed read two days and have some dinner. Hubby roasted a chicken, stuffed with barley. He's a keeper. LOL
I hope this finds all of you happy and healthy.
Be Back Later. ^..^
Phoebe just flew off her eggs but it might not last long
that nest area is gorgeous
Allen's Hummingbird Nest
Loretta
saw your comments about fishing
any ice fishing there?
My friend in NY has been doing a lot of that where he is, yellow perch and walleye...
Hi Ragdoll
another windy day in Maine, eh?
Sharon, I have gotten used to my 5 mins of video and audio, followed by stiller than still view and ongoing audio..
kooky...
Andrea
Thanks for the info about the second egg at Hummingbird nest...
usually you post and I finally remembered to check in daylight and saw them, and Phoebe
Hope you are all having or will have a good evening.
Hoping for more relief for our dental victims...
Paula, hope Ajay's condition improves quickly... will you be taking care of the children tomorrow?
TTFN xo
Dinner is finished... Sunset to the west tonight was beautiful. With 6mph wind chill it is 35°. I'm sure the Wed rain showers will rid us of any snow on the ground and then the 50° weather on Saturday will make us think that Spring has arrived.
I need some daffodils...
I put 10 pictures on the March album, includes several egg checks but only three where the egg is visible.
also the Afternoon Delight picture
If Megan says hello, you might get your daffodils, Jo
xo
just watched channel 4's bit on Tai Shan, same pics and news that has been on the panda page and came out in emails last week
Judie - Beware of crisp tators !
Remember - Hedgie's tooth!
there actually or a few more pics on the panda page then channel 4 showed.
Margy, This early I would need to go to TX or Safeway I bet for those daffodils!
Norma, I'm sure, got through her dental experience BUT she probably had to then go to the DR to have her squeezed black & blue finger taken care of.
Did Tai look dirtier to you all than he did when he was here??
Lily's baby's name is "Hope"!
On the sitemaster's location
I must be an Unknown
I can even see Culpepper
HOPE Very good name for a little girl bear cub! Thanks Sharon for alerting us. Didn't take them as long as they thought to select the
name.
Lily's cubs' name is HOPE!!!!
Hedgie - 10:00 tonight
Maybe we will see what happened
5 months ago
We have been watching the show called
Damages. It is almost ready to end - I think! It is a very captivating show.
Viewed the pics in Momster's album, Margy. Great captures. I don't know if I should make anything of the HP
It would be too far inbetween for another egg... I think. I'm sure Lib knows what it was all about - lol
no, he looked about the same, they had just had some snow recently and he was rolling around and climbing trees, his face on some pics I saw, has panda bread crumbs all over it.
I missed all the Tai Shan things but enjoy your all's news about it...hopefully Norma has that black and blue finger on ice and is enjoying it also !
thanks Jo...big dream is to have to some eaglet pictures on that album this month...
Hope - that is a perfect name...
well, see you'uns a little later on...
xo
Wanda
only because those comments on Feathers and Fur went on an older post, did you seem like they were not posted...I just hit the publish button...Thank You ! xo
I think I have it set at 4 weeks or something like that....so I can see new comments ☺
(I got an email because of comment moderation, that's what I was talking about )
Hey Jo, I do have some Robins on there by the way...not daffydils but, a sign of spring ☺
I think Helen is right...just a little Afternoon Delight or "JUST ONE MORE TIME FOR OLD TIMES SAKE";)
Margy, thanks for letting me know what was going on with you Fun and Fur. I thought this 'puter was failing me!
Do you all think that Blackwater is too far to travel in one day?
I think Paula said she thought it would be. I'd love to go there on the 13th.
WAS IT SOMETHING I SAID?? :(
Oh, watching Jeopardy I guess. BBL:)
Wanda it takes me about 2 hours to get from here to Cambridge, then it is about 25 to 30 minutes back off of RT 50
Hello Wanda. I love you!
Who likes trains?
Sharon
not too much train, but a lot of scenery and layout on Fun and Dandy (from Roundhouse Museum)
The old cars, one of my favorite things to see, and old McDonald's and things like that. Also another trolley on there
I forgot what I was supposed to be doing...file papers I think
Belle keeps moving around
thinking of the afternoon, maybe
Evening, all!
Busy day at work and worked late too.
Heading up to John's a little later, after I can let the dogs out for the last time. I'll spend the night there tonight, and see Cohen off to pre-school in the morning. Then Brensin and I will come down and let the dogs out, then go back to John's for the rest of the day.
No further update on Ajay, John had a lot to do this evening, so we only talked for a couple of minutes. I'll get an update after I get up there. I took her a fruit smoothie at lunchtime :) She is only a couple of miles from work.
Glad everyone's appointments went well.
We need to put out some sort of alert for our Megan!
Howdy Ragdoll. Hope your weather has been better!
Love the name Hope for Lily's cubbie.
Oh yes, Blackwater. You can certainly do it in a day...but it will be a long one. I can't go on the 13th. Ajay's friend is throwing her a baby shower, since she is having a girl :)
Glad BW cams are back on, too.
Oh yes, Megan commented yesterday morning about the trolley museum.
Ya know, Sharon, now that you mention that about our cam....(shhhhh)
BEAUTIFUL MOON RIGHT NOW...GO SEE!
Thanks Sharon, I LOVE YOU TOO!:)
Maybe we could do an over-nighter to Cambridge (Blackwater). PAJAMA PARTY would be a hoot! We could rent a Motel room and we have room for 6 in the Eagle Express:)
Looks like everyone was at the dentist recently...........
When Zoo staff discovered that 15-year-old female western lowland gorilla, Kigali, had a fractured tooth, they called upon an outside veterinary dental specialist to fix it. He performed root canal surgery and repaired the fracture.
Here is the link to vote for Savannah and Derek's eaglet. I sure hope they don't name it Colbert, Steven Colbert already has an eagle named Steven Jr, one of the Channel Island eagles. Maybe they didn't know that.
Well after checking the rules, you have to be a NC or SC resident to vote.
Vote for chick name
1) Noah for Lance Corporal Noah M. Pier, the most recent area marine to die in service to his country.
2) Lincoln for the eaglet born on Abraham Lincoln's birthday
3) Olympus or Olympia in honor of the US Olympic team that dominated the medal count in the 2010 Olympics
4) Colbert for Stephen Colbert, comedian and lover of eagles of all kinds
5) Wohali/Awahili for "eagle" in Cherokee
Guess that leaves us out... I would have gone for Lincoln!
Right Paula, shhh!
I can't find the Moon, and I have been looking :(
but the clouds would make for a warmer night at the nest
Wanda, I am off on the 12-13th but "fragile" to be called in...will check with the boss and see what I can work out...that would be really great !
Sounds like a fun Sleepover coming up Paula
Jo I see you get the Fonz newsletter too.
I like Olympia.
Whee - I bet that was some Root Canal !!
Sharon, I think mine at work was doing it too....shhhhhh!!!
So how do my dogs know I am leaving....they are being ever so pesty and clingy. I haven't even tried to sneak a thing into an overnight bag yet!
Oh, I just realized what it was...I put my sneakers on when I came home...Nugz thinks it's walk night...
Hi to everyone!
I need to vent! Fixing dinner, phone rang, a student called me here at home. Do NOT give personal information to students. Little creep must have googled. Said he didn't know what to do about the exam tomorrow. -- broke his finger. Policy is in the syllabus -- READ IT! Just cannot comprehend the lack of boundaries -- who is raising the kids?
Okay, I'm better. Thanks!
Jo, crispy taters are just sort of crispy and I was extra careful.
How about that Tai Shan -- rolling in Panko!
Like the name Hope for Lily's cub.
Jo, I heard that a TRAIN filled with daffodils stopped at the Sheetz store. Just a rumor, I'm sure.
Need to go relax for a few. BBL
OH, I heard the Good Wife will be back for another season...wish I had started watching that one from the beginning, I love Julianna Margulies.
Well, that doesn't seem like such a big deal, Judy. Ajay is in the hospital on IV and pain meds, and they dropped her out of her classes. Talk about being pissed. She missed a discussion, so they dropped both her classes...7 weeks into a 9 week class. John has been trying to deal with that this evening, too. He finally had to leave a message.
John brought her a laptop to the hospital, but she just hasn't been able to concentrate long enough to try to get her assignments completed. They had to re-up her pain meds, she was at 1/2 dose.
I think I would vote for the Cherokee name -- somehow seems fitting to put an eagle with our native Americans.
Not doing a Margy. Really going away for a little while.
That's OUTRAGEOUS Paula...
on top of being ill, having to be aggravated...really sorry to read about this... !!!
Yours is crazy too Judie...unfortunately, NO ONE is raising some of these kids
I would have voted for the Native American name also
Paula - you could still watch Good Wife
There is always a side story completed each time about her case. Wanda or I could clue you in on the ongoing saga!
OMG, Paula, that's awful. Tell John to call the Dean tomorrow.
Poor Ajay---all good thoughts and prayers going her way.
Judie, that takes a heck of a lot of nerve. Hope you read him the riot act.
Paula, think I heard that The Good Wife is the top-rated new show of the '09-'10 season. I like her, too.
headache gone Lynn ?
Paula you need to do like Glo did when leaving her dogs - Pack the overnite bag down in the basement area or the laundry room if it has a door.
They are sometimes much smarter than we give them credit.
Off to catch some TV
Will quickly surf the cams
BBILW
The Good Wife, in a nutshell...Husband was unfaithful with a Ho...wife found out. Husband went to prison for conduct unbecoming a husband. Wife is a lawyer and went back to work after husband's incarcination, she got tired of eating Bon-Bons.
Husband got a new trial and wants to come home while waiting on such.
Will wife forgive him? Stay tuned....
I meant to mention that Woody on Snowman cam has a new scarf...
that really ticks me off to hear about that Paula, and Judie, you should have hung up on him...the little snit
INCARCERATION.
Poor Ajay, she can do without all that stress...don't want the little girl coming too soon!
There are some nice egg check pictures on the Maine Forum for NCTC
Dellwo Hummingbird is first on the Beakspeak list, today and last seven days (seems kind of surprising)
We're still on the Last 7 days list
It's kind of early for this....
but Good Night !
Prayers for all the needs here, and for our families and loved ones...
Happiness prayers offered for all the joys of the day
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥
just being pregnant with your 3rd child is stress enough....
HOPE is in view
What does the syllabus say about that situation, Judie? How do you handle a situation like that?
INCARCINATE HIM!;)
She is in the very center of the pic
Her little snout is pointed towards 12:00
Her little 5 toed paw can be seen
Nite Margy...about time you get a good nights sleep. Don't pull a Ceil:)
Talked to John, good news is Ajay is supposed to come home tomorrow, they are prescribing some meds that should help with the pain and are safe for baby. Can't believe they haven't done a sonogram or whatever they need to to look at the darn little stone!
Wanda - that's about what I read today about the show...didn't know there was a HO involved! Guess you could call another woman that!
Is that the cubbie right in the middle of Mom?
You are right, Paula. My situation is no big deal. I am very sorry about your daughter-in-law's health concerns and now her school issues, as well. I think that under the circumstances, it could be arranged to give her incompletes based on her medical condition and the time already committed to her courses. Medical verification should be all that is needed. Again, I am sorry and wish you all the best.
Margy, no...headache still with me, but bearable.
I can hear Hope rooting around but I have no clue what parts are what of that bear and cub
Judie - I meant a broken finger is no big deal...not enough to miss class...
And I would think an incomplete would be fair...financial aid may not pay for class if she withdrew...
LOL at your synopsis, Wanda!! Actually, hubby went to prison for wrongdoing in his capacity as a lawyer, which is supposedly trumped up!
Jo, 5 months ago......coming soon! If anyone is interested:
Damages stars Glenn Close, in a typically evil role, this time as a crooked attorney! And Michael Nouri (Flashdance, Young&Restless) is her soon-to-be-ex hubby!
Up our nest
Split happens......
