Thanks, Vicky for the heads-up.
I will be back shortly - have to eat a late dinner................
Nilla So great to see your name on here. Come in when you can. We're always up to something, but our spirits take a jump when you show up!!!! Just how it is!
Yes, words from Nilla! How wonderful!
Glo, to answer your question, I've been feeling down under! I think I've been hit with a bug of some sorts!
Good to hear from you,NILLABEAN
Someone get in there and scoop up that little ButaButa or at least help her roll over............
Well, ButaButa girl did it all by herself and in comfy on her belly. Love it when her little legs look like she is swimming.
Need to take a break --- will return later this evening.
How cool is that. You are awesome, Steven. Thanks!
No one here, must have run people out of the house!
Nilla didn't offer us any dumplings! Thought we shared goodies around here????
Hello Mits, Jo, Glo, Paula, and Vicky !! Glad to hear from you Nillabean!!
Hi Floralgirl! Seems just you and me here!
Don't get this lonely too often, only when I come around! (just kidding!)
Do you see that little cute Buta???
She's so precious!
No, Vicky, I only have dial up, too slow for many cams.
Hi everyone. Yep Buta Buta is such a cutie. More cuddleable everyday!!!
Newsletters in your email tomorrow. That's it, don't want to sound like a broken record, just want you to find them and some weren't onearlier today on the other thread!
.Vicky. Sorry you are feeling well. I wasn't so good myself yesterday but do feel lots better today!!
How are you feeling .floralgirl
LOL OOPS Vicky Actually I am sorry you are not feeling well....and also sorry I don't type lots better and check what I typed before I send it. Too much llike work but it bites me back everytime LOL.
And that was wax as you have all gone now
Hey all... feeling poorly today... catch up with y'all later on...
Bird Girl
Doing better, Glo- thanks for asking. Awaiting the frost later this week, hoping it will help my allergies. Is your garage finally empty?
Well nice to see those that are here plus the lurkers.
I see Nilla stopped by.. darn she didn't stay.
I like the typos it make things look normal lol
Earlier today Buta Buta was on her back and rolled to her belly.. she is getting quite good at it.
Howdy, again, checking in, finally got my DSL activated after a month of problems, going to see how well it works.
Yup, works better on Lun and Buta Ball
Hello, Dana and Birdgirl. Well, I am out of here for tonite, tired- 8 trips back to back thru the corn maze this morning, that's a lot of walking and my legs are killing me. Gotta rest now, blog at ya all later.
I want to know where Belle is?
Next, I have a theory. The way Lun Lun has Buta Buta sleeping on her head -- She is training Buta Buta for when she is a mommy, you know, they way Lun Lun sits on her head. Get her used to it early on.
I am absolutely so amazed at how those little white furballs are looking just like falcons now. Mother Nature - she never ceases to amaze me!
Back Again. I had mentioned early on the other thread that the Brisbane site has some new comments on the Forum and about 7 new videos. There is also a Tues update on Atlanta LunLun & Cub ... If you remember Lou's episode of bamboo - after reading the update, I decided she didn't use the right species of bamboo and forgot to eat the leaves.
Hope Doreen sees this tomorrow.
Wow, those chicklets have more feathers today than yesterday!
Belle from all reports is ok, just extra, extra busy with school.
She sometimes comes on the Saturday threads.
I want to know Where Is Geula
Forgot one other piece of info... There is a video of ButaButa's one month exam on the site........
Well Bloggers - I may just close for the night... Probably stick my nose in once more around 11:00.
Good Night All
Suzanne, Good Morning and hope you have a PC today and also really hope you didn't stay home sick Tuesday due to being out in all that rainy weather.
I was thinking about Geula earlier today. Maybe we should stop by for a visit! :)
Sure would be nice if they moved that Lun cam so you could see something besides Lun's butt!
Sure would be nice if they moved that Lun cam so you could see something besides Lun's butt!
Where is Mits when we need her?
Buta all alone
Tai just got up moving around a little it. Moving kind of slow.
Buta Buta is by herself!
Two chicks on the Frodocam. Unbelievable!!
MT pond on Africam.
Buta all alone!
Suppose folks are lurking waiting for the wax!
????
wax
for me
Here I come to save the day...ah...what am I needed for???
That's all folks, been nice talking to myself! Have a good night! Keep warm!
Mighty Mits was on the way!
More wax for Illinois!!!
Congrats Vicky!!
Dr. Mits here, any problems that I can help with??
Buta was just raring up on her front legs. She is so precious. Has the hiccoughs again!
Mei just came back on camera. I think it is Mei anyway.
Still an MT pond on Africam.
2 1/2 chicklets on the Frodocam.
Dr. Mits, seen any copulating bamboons lately?
How is it that I beat Sharon?? That's a miracle! Dr. Mits, I think the temp has gone down on this blog? Seems to be sickly tonight! (referring to the emptyness of the house!)
Guess the Bamboons got everyone captivated!
Going to bed now.
Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feathers and fur.
ROFLMAO!! two and a half chicklets.
BW has a note that they know the cam has stopped and will check it in the morning...that's the bad news...the good news it is stuck on the pic of the eagle eating.
Not one copulating BAMBOON in days, SHARON
Well all seems quiet..GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!...HI JIM! SUZANNE, HOPE YOU ARE NOT SICK.
BTW...Glad your DSL is working, PAULA.
just checking in folks...
By the way, Lou's got a lot of work ahead of her if she wants to find a type of bamboo that is suitable for her consumption -- there are at least TWO THOUSAND types of bamboo! A few have toxic compounds, so hopefully she'll stay away from those :-)
From Bird Girl's Brain: Pandas are, in actuality, carnivores. That's right -- MEAT EATERS. Unfortunately, over time, they became overspecialized eaters, deciding to eat bamboo leaves almost exclusively.
The shift from meat to plant was a result of long-term habitat loss leading to reduction in prey. The panda started eating what it could find, and got stuck on bamboo.
Because the panda stomach and G. I. tract was not designed to digest plant matter, and because bamboo is very fibrous with little nutritional value, the panda must eat over 40 pounds of bamboo leaves a day. FORTY POUNDS!!
In the wild, pandas will occasionally eat carrion, if the opportunity presents itself. In captivity, pandas are given well-rounded, balanced diets that include plants, fruits, and supplements.
The term "panda bear" is basically accurate, in that the giant panda is in the Ursidae family; however, it is unique within this family. Unlike most bears, giant pandas do not store fat for hibernation.
The red panda and the giant panda are not related, other than both being carnivores. This concludes this edition of From Bird Girl's Brain
Good morning Suzanne and Doreen. Too early to be spellchecking much this morning! :):):) Suzanne, we were wondering where you were yesterday. Glad you are feeling better today.
Doreen, a 3-hour storm. That sounds like a whopper.
Watching Lun Lun roll around with Buta Buta this morning. I am waiting on the color version though.
There were 2 absolutely beautiful eagles at BW yesterday.
I hope everybody has a wonderful day. Remember, do random acts of kindness. The rewards are great!!!
Good Morning Suzanne, Doreen and Sharon..
Sorry about the oak trees Doreen. Where we lived before have a magnificent giant oak. Every year tremendous amount of acorns. Of course lots of squirrels too.
I always said if that tree ever goes it will be through the house and out the other side.
Suzanne sure hope you are felling better this morning.
Doreen tell Lou to watch what bamboo she taste since Birdgirl said some are toxic. I know you gals over there was just kidding around sounded like you all was having alot of fun.
Birdgirl I wonder if that is when the panda stopped mating in the wild? When that change happened from meat eaters to bamboo.
GOOD MORNING TO EVERYONE, HAVE A GREAT WEDNESDAY. Glad you are feeling better, SUZ
I saw that, DOREEN, lazy little lump. SUZANNE, I was watching the Bay Bridge cam that night, with all that was going on here at the beach, plus the nor'easter, crosswinds play havoc with the bridge. Hubby came down on Saturday morning.
Lun just dropped Buta on her head again. I wish she would be more careful with our baby girl!
Lun sounds like my sister when she dropped me on my head...and looked how I turned out.:):):)tee-hee.
Good Morning all. Off to coffee with the West Virginian LOL. .Suzanne You have Yahoo mail
Morning All!! I am a newbee here this is my first day here.. I hope I didnt happen accross this site too late in the year? how can i navigate here and see the eagles on their nest cam etc? thanks for da help ..
bill
Welcome Willie.
Doreen, thanks for your reports!!
BOOYAH, WILLIE, WELCOME! We watch a variety of cams, but are anxiously waiting for the eagles to return. Bethesda is approx. and hour and 15 minute drive from the Sheperdstown nest, if the traffic is flowing nicely.
DOREEN Another new talent for you Roving Reporter...thanks for the info.
Willie, you've got mail.
WILLIE Where are you living now???
Oh no, your back to the snow, WILLIE! Hope you like the computer, because the gals have given you plenty to look at...
So, Mits, I guess you don't remember if it hurt or not when your sister dropped you on your head, huh? My sister probably would have done that to me on purpose if she had thought about it. :):):)
Hi Willie Welcome. You have managed to find the Best BLOG out there for eagle watching......and we happen to watch the most fantastic pair of eagles on the net as well. .I am serious here Our pair is awesome. They raised 3 beautiufl Young eagles, when the odds especially for number 3 were very very slim. You need to learn more aobut our eagles and you can do it all right here.

.Suzanne You have MORE VERY IMPORTANT MAIL....
And I forgot to say I am sorry you were sick and very glad you are feeling better.
SHARON, I STILL HAVE THE SCAR, RIGHT OVER MY EYE Thought about plastic surgery, but it is too deep and narly to fix it.ROFLMAO!!! She is really going to get me. Maybe she will come on?
Come on, Mits' sister, take the plunge and join us!!!
Poor Willie, he didn't know what he was doing asking us for links. WE GOT LINKS!!
Mit's sister Surely there is more than one side to this story. Did you want to come on and tell us your side, cause there is no telling where this story will go without your input!!! Between mits sense of humor and our imagination almost anything could happen now!!! If I were you I would get myself in here quick!!! JMHO
SUZANNE I rode past there on my way to Lewes for lunch during the height of the storm and only saw a handful, as I was passing thru town. I've read they do not like the rain and would rather be curled up in a chair then go out in it.
What dogs and where is Dewey Beach?
Looks like there is a storm blowing into Maine!
We might not see WILLIE for days.
It was the GREYHOUND CONVENTION IN DEWEY BEACH, DELAWARE. Its about 30 minutes north of Ocean City. Love it when they wear their little rain gear.
Its been kinda dark and dreary at Maine all a.m. Much like the weather here.
Nice deer on Africam
Well Willie Will feel welcomed!!! LOL
.Suzanne. Did you see my note about MORE IMPORTANT email.
Eagle at BW
Yep, SUZANNE You are correct, thin skin, must have protection and every year in October they come to the beach. The convention ran thru Monday, but it was sooo nice I went to the beach myself.
Thanks, SUZ!
Welcome, Willie
Suz,
Glad you are feeling better. Worn your Blackwater sweatshirt yet?
Something flapping in front of CT cam, looks like a strap from the cam or something.
Checked the Florida cam, not up yet.
My bad, THANKS, PAULA FOR ALERTING US TO EAGLE AT BW
Buta is trying so hard to get curled up in a ball. I want to hold her so bad!! Everybody needs to let me know when they will be available to come to Atlanta to get me out of jail. :):):)
Sharon OK Here's the deal. You get 1 phone call. Just call anyone of us, and we'll get the info out to everyone very quickly ask Willie Then we'll be right there to bail you out WAX works ask Vicky and Paula
We all want to be there becuase we want the PUBLICITY for our eagles...and hey a nice cuddle time with Buta Buta would be worth it all. Will be waiting for the call!!!
Suzanne Sent you 1 more email
Actually, thingy at CT nest looks like a branch!
Suz,
So glad the kitties behaved for you!
Willie, we just figured you were lost in the cams!
Glo, I just have Nilla and Jo's numbers so I may need to gather more before I head out. My luck would be they wouldn't answer their phones. :):):)
Really windy in Maine, tree is moving more than I have ever seen it!
Willie We thought you were out in cyber cam space never to return til Nov. with all the links you suddenly found yourself receiving. We got the info and the links here. Once you visit them all you will know everything we know. Which will probably take all morning LOL but NOT til Nov. anyway. Didn't miss much. Most everyone on here in the morning is at work Believe it or not LOL. Blog has quieted some, the bOss's must have shown up!!!
Sharon Well gal we got your number LOL We'll just call you LOL. Not too fear...you know we are all behind you !!!
prescious of Lun Lun and buta Buta right now
wax
Well they moved but was awfully cute. Think I got picture...Will send it around
Opps another gREAT one go look at Lun Lun
Okay, since Willie has asked about wax twice, we probably need to tell him. Okay, Willie, we have gotten a little bored around here since our eagle cam went down. When we hit 50 we get a 1/2 can of wax and 100 is a whole can of wax. I will try to find the email to forward to you exactly what the wax means.
Well, Suzanne, I should have read the blog before I spent 20 minutes searching for the wax story! :)
Oh Willie, Welcome! But don't ask about the "wax" story! We win either a 1/4 can 1/2 can 3/4 can or whole can on 100's # posting. So 125 will get 1/4 can, 150 gets 1/2 can, 175 gets 3/4 can and 200 will get a whole can! (Just pretend, not real!) But there is a story behind it that maybe someone will share with you!
Good morning Vicky How are you feeling today?
WILLIE the panda is taking a nap, not dead.
I believe the panda you are watching is the lovely Mei Xiang, mom, to Tai Shan who was just roaming around the new yard at the National Zoo in DC. Pands sleep, eat and play.
Willie, if you go to the Atlanta Zoo pandacam, There is the lovely Lun Lun holding who we so affectionately call "Buta Buta" (panda cub who has yet to be officially named but I named her Buta Buta). Sweet pair.
WOOO! that tree is a swayin up in Maine, SHARON
WAX
Willie,
That whooping crane migration is pretty neat. Amazing that they have to teach those birds, and then they follow a plane! Have you found the website on that? There is one out there, although I don't remember what it is at the moment.
Mits got the wax!! WAY TO GO MITS!! I tried but couldn't beat you to it! :):):)
Mits beat ya to it, Sharon. Congrats, Mits!
Sharon, don't ya love it when it was only 8 seconds!
Buta is all alone, bless her heart!
Hmmm...got the 150 and 200..the gals in Illinois need another car, donating it to them.
HELLO! By the time I got through all my emails (thank you everyone) and then tried to get comments read before blogging, it is now time for me to get ready for a 12:30 appointment. So very quickly: Newsletter was fantastic-- especially the last link!
WELCOME WILLIE! Thanks for placing info on you profile - Your a welcomed newcomer to the group - stick with us! Wish I could stay longer, but BBL
Mema Jo Glad you liked the newletter. If you especially liked the last link it tells me it did what it was meant to do. I am so very GLAD to hear that!! I loved it each time I watched it and just thought need this to tie into the main subject this time of....well will let everyone else go see for themselves..
WILLIE The one that is sleeping is the MOM (MEI) and the one hiding behind the rock right now is the baby (TAI). The zoo has 2 panda cams.
Willie, Mits is our panda expert around here. She has been watching Tai since he was born.
Tai Shan is now sitting on a rock eating some leaves...Mei is still resting. Eating the amount of food (BAMBOO) that they require leaves them exhausted.
Well, it is nice that your are here...and thank you for your service to our country, WILLIE
Just a beautiful shot of Mei's face.
Well gonna be gone for several hours. On my way to help out with a new facility that is opening soon. Still got some finishing touches and have been told to bring my tools. LOL yah right. I have a hammer, screwdriver and pliers. LOL
BLOG at ya later.
Beautiful sunsets at Pete's Pond and Africam.
See ya, SUZ
Sun is out in Maine...no eagle.
Adult eagle in Maine nest!
EAGLE UP IN MAINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Off he went...so graceful!
DARN...gone that fast.
Kingfisher in CT, if you can see thru that stuff flapping around
eAGLE BACK...HOUSECLEANING.
Gone again, what a beautiful take-off.
BACK AGAIN BRINGING STICKS...COOOOOL!
SAW HER LAND THAT TIME.
DOREEN AN EAGLE IS FLYING IN AND OUT OF THE mAINE NEST.
Man she has a short attention span, I can relate to that.
Yup, Doreen, sure sign the eaglets from the last brood are gone, and she will be ready to mate soon!
Wouldn't it be cool to see that!
Wow, there she is again~!
REally windy in Maine today!
ROFLMAO...DOREEN..I'm a friggin genius than....
Not much to actually see, Doreen. Just looks like one bird sitting ontop of another bird, usually pretty quick!
There she is again!
Looks like they must stay there year round,,,water must not freeze over much. Ocean or bay water usually doesn't because of the ever constant wave action.
DOREEN, it's like wam..bam..thank you maam. Presto, and you have eggs.Sorta like humans.
And an Eagle at BW, and the Kingfisher is still in CT
I don't think these two have names. Have you seen any on their blog, Mits?
That was cool, off and a little bit of a soaring show.
So, Doreen, what is England's mascot?
She is really staying close to the nest.
My English girlfriend is from Eastbourne area. I think her Dad or Mom is from Polegate, or live there now. Anywhere near you?
Man, she is really working hard today, back again w/ more sticks!
She's fussing at something. Anyone else see the white thing fly by?
Wow, this eagle or eagles? has really got my heart a-pumping!!!!!
I don't believe they have namesPAULA unless they have a blog and the regulars have named them...remember these are scientists and don't get attached like we do...but we could name them on our blog...how bout Maple and Leaf:)):) Silly Mits been dropped on her head, just like Buta.
Mits, you haven't read their blog yet? It's right on the site. I know the biologists haven't named them, but I couldn't remember if the people on the blog named them or not.
Sure is Doreen. I had posted that info on here awhile ago, but I don't think you ever saw it.
That is one busy eagle today!!!
Nope, haven't read any thing on that site for a long time, PAULA Just that it was going to be up all year.
Eagle still at BW
Guess he is still there because it is stuck again.
Raining at BW now, Eagle lookin a little wet!
Nope, not stuck Mits, he moved his head.
Doreen, what is a brolly?
Doreen,
I get lots of info off the web. Eagles normally live 15-20 years, but could be as long as 30 years
Not stuck now, but it was stuck on 14:01 for about 5 minutes.
Doreen, This is a pretty good site for eagle info.
http://www.baldeagleinfo.com/
Yes, Doreen, explanation on brolly please.
Brolly, makes sense!
Thought maybe you were talking brewskies!
Yea, Mits, now stuck on 14:20:01. Must be the weather.
Paula, ROFLMAO!
Now it is OK
Doreen, congrats on the wax. And, if it is information about a bird, you can bet your sweet bippy we are interested! :):):)
I have heard of those fish eagles, Doreen.
Doreen gets a brewskie for 300!
Brewskie is a beer!
Tide is VERY HIGH in CT..and I think my BW page is about to hit the skids....it won't refresh!
Anyone there to go get Buta Buta???
She has mastered getting off her back onto her belly very well. She is so sweet!
Yes, I am back but will leave again in about 2 hours.... Pizza at Tony's in Greencastle... Didn't get the word out to Suzanne before she left!!! I
haven't read the comments since I left-will do now.
Doreen, are you old enough for a brewskie?
Pass the brewskie to Doreen!
Mema Jo, I could do some serious lovin' on Buta Buta. She just gives me that warm fuzzy feeling every time I look at her!
Eagle still at BW!
This link might work better
http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/nature/scotlandthewild/
content/birds/index.shtml?bird=sea_eagle
They call it the white tailed eagle also.
Did someone mention BREWSKIES??? Count me in!!! Although I do like my gin and tonics and Pinot Grigio.
