Well I have things I have to get done today, no more resting on my laurels. So glad to see Palmer doing so well.

Have a great day everyone :)

Mits said...

Finland nest still down, Finney's nest MT

Mits said...

don't think the blog knows how to count either....

T-Bird said...

Good morning my eagle momsters and dadsters.

T-Bird said...

I hope all is well.

Mits said...

hey there Thelma, long time no see.

T-Bird said...

Still no computer yet. It is in Roanoke, almost home.

Mits said...

what was wrong with it, Thelma?

wvgal_dana said...

LOL I think I need to buy a new thermometer. The one on the porch says 80 degrees. Don't think so.

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Thelma !

Why is your computer not with you?

paula eagleholic said...

See ya'll later tonight. Have a great afternoon!

T-Bird said...

I don't know MITS but they fixed it and it was still under warranty.

hedgie said...

Mits, saw a post on FB about the Gao Gao scene on CH. 4. Do they really think panda people don't know the difference??? Duh!

Guess the BWE names are okay....certainly not anything that will stick in MY mind, for sure.

Speaking of names....can't begin to tell you the number of times I have started to type Hidey when meaning to say Palmer!!

hedgie said...

Missed whatever the fuss was at the nest. Maybe Palmer, Lib and Belle were telling the rain to stay away!! Think it is imminent here.

hedgie said...

Ha...it has already started. Sprinkling now.

Mema Jo said...

Hello there everyone
Mits we'll wait for the official word about Mei from you and your sources. Not a TV reporter..
Glad to see Palmer is doing so great and growing so fast. He must be a teenie bopper now.

Hi Thelma - everything still good with the job?

Mema Jo said...

Sure hope we get a weekend thread on here soon....

Mema Jo said...

I'm just now on my 2nd cup of coffee - I had a late start today.

BEagle said...

All are on the nest presently. Palmer is very pretty. And moving things around on the nest. I missed the earlier reports about an intruder.

And I do hope the sweet geese moved out of the road.

I am going to try this again. I left my good manners at the auto shop.

A good cup of coffee is in order.

Mason's Update

Mema Jo said...

Palmer is flaked out with talons showing! lol

BEagle said...

I hear raindrops on the nest.
Palmer shoving self under Belle.

BEagle said...

All is well on the IC nests. TH feedings are slowing down.

PH duo is eating, or at least one is. The other is plotzed.

WE is not sharing.

BEagle said...

The OR nest is covered with snow...go figure.

BEagle said...

Coffee was good. Think I will enjoy another.

I think that is Lib that Palmer is trying to cozy up to.

I love those big feet.

BEagle said...

Palmer looks like me getting up. Trying to figure out what to do with the feet. lol lol.

BEagle said...

That Caring Bridge website is so very nice.

Copy and paste the link I posted above. It's a goofy commercial but the end of it was to my liking.
: )

Red said...

Howdy Friends. Stormy day here in Alabama but I just found something I thought your might like to see. Its a radio controled model airplane being chased by an Eagle.

Click Here

Mits said...

cute commercial, BEagle:)

Mits said...

neat Red, maybe a juvie, since I could not really see a white tail or head, but the video below it was interesting too, this time the eagle got the plane.

hedgie said...

Enjoyed both videos! Thanks, BEagle and Red!!!

BEagle said...

Belle if feeding Palmer now. Must be a reward for all the wing flapping
exercises performed by Palm.

movin said...



^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Good Morning

for a Saturday

to you aLL.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm a bit behind the 8 ball anyway, and then I started watching the NFL Draft....

There's a lot of good players at all positions this year. And those linemen just keep getting bigger and bigger every year.

San Diego is doing alright in the draft, but, the trouble is, so are all the other teams they play most often. Hahaha.

BEagle said...

Belle flew off to the left and Palmer sits looking in that direction.

BEagle said...

A really good wiggle of the tail shows Palmer's feathers coming out on it.

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Thread is getting longer and longer. Long time til Monday morning especially if there is a panda birth :-)
Hmmm wonder if part of parenting eaglets is to teach them about golf balls and remote control planes. I guess like humans they really never know what might cross their path in life. Enjoy your day. Thanks to those who have enjoyed Glo's Glimpses today. I am itching to get back up there before the leaves fill in much more on that tree, but its cloudy and rainy here again all weekend is the forecast :-(.

movin said...

Did someone mention that Mason has a new blog entry this morning??


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

BEagle said...

Yes about Mason on Caring Bridge.
Press Ctrl F and enter Mason in the find screen. That should get you there right away.

movin said...

There are some interesting pics, videos, and info in the current Channel Island Reports too.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

hedgie said...

BEagle.....how did you find/know that Ctrl F thing???? Way cool!!!!
Thanks!! Hope I can remember it next time I want to look for something!!!!

BEagle said...

Glad to share that with you that short cut to find things Hedgie.

When the thread goes a distance, it really helps even tho it won't scroll into the next page.

Ctrl C will copy and Ctrl V will paste and the buttons are right next to each other.

movin said...

yEAH, thanks, Beagle.

The "Ctrl + ...." commands look like they will be very useful.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

movin said...

Interesting views of the young eagles at all the Channel Island nests right now.

hedgie said...

Now here are cattle out in the middle of another major road!! 911 contacting farmer at that location! The joys of rural driving!! Hope nobody hits a cow!!

Mema Jo said...

Lazy afternoon - It has gotten cold out there. Getting ready for Mass &
will touch base upon my return.

magpie said...

Palmer is working on a turtle

magpie said...

I guess Palmer is concealing the turtle it's underneath somewhere

magpie said...

feet, beak, flapping wings and turtle pics on Magpie's Roost link

magpie said...

I was hoping that our Norma would be able to come on and say Hello...I talked with her by phone today
1) she is okay, fine, been busy
2) computer got a clean-up, she was having some trouble bringing things back up
3) ooops, maybe she is having trouble signing on to the blog !

But she was able to see Palmer!
and baby G on Paula's avatar....and read a few comments, and I brought her up to date on a few things.
Hoping you can make a visit here, Norma ☺

stronghunter said...

Hi!

Wow! Eagle upset.

magpie said...

Oh, company for Palmer finally

magpie said...

ha ha maybe Palmer is mantling the turtle

stronghunter said...

Really missing our ray of sunshine, Norma.

magpie said...

Hi Shirley
did you find your energy?
If so, can you give me some tips on finding mine
it's been missing most of the day

magpie said...

maybe that turtle is visible now
can't tell little brown thing near the big stick

stronghunter said...

I have not expended much energy, Margy. I made it to the vets for George's medication and food. That is about it. I need to get busy.

magpie said...

I should have stayed on the phone to make sure Norma got signed on :(
I did tell her that some were having to try two or more times


she's going for a ramps dinner in Hampshire County Sunday ☺

stronghunter said...

I think it might be the turtle, Margy. I enlarged the pic and it looks to be a turtle shell.

magpie said...

ok bye
ttfn here too
xo

stronghunter said...

Wonder what is upsetting our parent.

magpie said...

have to unblog to go look at live feed

stronghunter said...

Much eagle calling taking place.

stronghunter said...

It happened earlier today, too.

magpie said...

live feed pretty much a no-go for me
saw those posts from earlier Shirley missed that too

Hope Steve is ok, been awhile since we went this long without a new thread

okay bye now

stronghunter said...

Bye, Margy.

stronghunter said...

Sorry you can't get the live feed.

stronghunter said...

Guess others are not on right now. Maybe they're watching the Panda cam.

stronghunter said...

Eagle still calling. I don't know which one it is.

stronghunter said...

Been calling for about half an hour.

stronghunter said...

Is this Lib calling for Belle or Belle calling for Lib???? I hope everything is okay.

stronghunter said...

Frantic calling now.

stronghunter said...

Palmer fed and now alone. I would like to see both parents to be sure that they are okay.

stronghunter said...

Must go take care of chores.

stronghunter said...

Yay! Both parents at the nest!

stronghunter said...

Nestorations.

hedgie said...

Daniel has put up a nice video tribute he made to Tai Shan.
Tribute to Tai Shan

hedgie said...

Well, that didn't work.......let me try again!!

Tribute to Tai Shan

stronghunter said...

Thanks, Lynn. Very nice tribute.

Mema Jo said...

WOW! Back from Mass and have eaten dinner here at the house... no new thread yet! Going to ask Steve to put us on automatic threads for weekends. That would sure work.

Need to see what everyone has said...
BBILW

stronghunter said...

Hi, Jo!

stronghunter said...

Yes, we are about to hit number 500.

stronghunter said...

Hungry. Doing a Judie. Found some frozen pork chops in the fridge, so I am thawing them.

stronghunter said...

Jo,

Last weekend, I went looking at the first months of this blog. I found a picture of you looking through a small telescope at the nest.

stronghunter said...

Terrible storms in Mississippi. Big tornadoes.

stronghunter said...

It was interesting to see who was here at the beginning.

Mema Jo said...

Took time to watch the Tribute to Tai that you posted Lynn. Daniel did and exceptional job producing it.

Hi Shirley - We just warmed up the left over half of a roasting chicken -
2 meals with 1 chicken - Great on the budget!

stronghunter said...

I remember blogs from you, Paula, Jim, Glo, and others who are still around. I think there was a different Lolly. And Nilla.

stronghunter said...

I need to go to the grocery store and to return the too-big sheets and pick up the right size.

I have to find some time tomorrow to write out a detailed lesson plan for my administrator. She is supposed to observe my class Monday, and then I have the SAT prep class Monday night.

stronghunter said...

Maybe it is okay to be lazy today since I am getting ready to have a long day on Monday.

Mema Jo said...

Shirley - That was the 1st ever Nest Visit. Steve took our group down the eagle path and set up the scope for us.

Mema Jo said...

Sounds like you're going to take all tomorrow getting ready for your busy Monday!

Mema Jo said...

Glad we are not playing WAX anymore or I wouldn't be taking #500.......

stronghunter said...

Wax! I could not remember what I was supposed to say if I hit #500! Well, now I think we have split.

stronghunter said...

Oh, I guess not yet for the split. That will be at 601.

stronghunter said...

I was interested in how the blog has grown since those days.

stronghunter said...

It was also interesting to see the nest with three eaglets.

stronghunter said...

We are supposed to have storms tomorrow, but they are saying that there should not be such bad tornadoes. I hope not.

stronghunter said...

Palmer is really sleeping.

stronghunter said...

I tidied up my desk before I left on Friday. Once when she came to visit, I hid some untidy stacks of papers behind my desk. Of course, she decided to sit at my desk. An administrator can sit wherever they want to. I just had to laugh about it. If she noticed, she did not comment.

I am setting up a nice spot at a table for her this time, but who knows?

It can get kind of challenging when you have to get to your computer or something on your desk and the observer is sitting there.

Mema Jo said...

I wonder if anyone has seen the loon today... They probably don't get into the nesting platform until egg time!
We had so much fun watching them last season.

stronghunter said...

I remember the loon nest last year. The little ones were so cute.

Mits said...

don't see them, but sure do hear the loons:)

stronghunter said...

Checked out the two loon cams on Beakspeak. There was an interesting video about setting up the cam on the Biodiversity one.

Anonymous said...

To all, Here is a Blue Bird live cam for you. http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt?open=514&objID=643557&mode=2

Mema Jo said...

The audio and night light will be great. Mits I had the cam on but not my speakers. Duh.......

stronghunter said...

Spidey's web is in place for the evening. Really makes it harder to see. I hear Palmer chirping.

Going to go listen for loons. Their call is so unique. I played a loon call for my students one day when we were reading Thoreau because he wrote about the call of the loon. I do not remember hearing them when I was growing up in North Carolina, but I heard them when we were in Minnesota.

Palmer talking to parent.

stronghunter said...

Hi Crunch!

Anonymous said...

HI all

Mits said...

Jo, the speakers have been down since this afternoon on the panda cams.....Hi Crunch:)

stronghunter said...

Crunch, I went to the website, but I didn't find the link to the bluebird cam.

Anonymous said...

That should be the link. It's the PA. Game Commission.

Mits said...

I see they have one egg, Crunch

Anonymous said...

Right, You got it.

hedgie said...

I will try the link for Bob's cam:

PA blue bird cam

Mema Jo said...

Hi Crunch. Here is the Wildwatch cam that has 5 eggs in the bluebird nest box.

I think Mei is sacked out for the night! Ahe looks so peaceful....panda naps are fun!!

Mema Jo said...

I have the newest version of the Flash Player installed for Firefox But I can't get the live cam up/running

Guess I'll try it over on IE.....

Mema Jo said...

On IE cam came up and I see the 1 egg.
Crunch did you see the 5 eggs?

Mema Jo said...

Getting some more sprinkles - guess it will go on all night. With Spidey's web fully covering the lens you can't really tell who is who in that nest.

Mits said...

sound back on at the zoo.

Anonymous said...

Yea Jo, I got the site. You know there's getting to be to many site's to check

Mits said...

from BWO...

4/24/10:
We're still seeing shots of our osprey pair mating. If a second egg is coming, it should be here by the end of Sunday.

Mema Jo said...

I agree with you Crunch.. too many sites and too little time!

stronghunter said...

I got the bluebird cam now.

stronghunter said...

Thanks.
