Eagles busy up in Maine, got to repair that nest from last weeks mini-hurricane.
Hi All I have been watching the eagles in Maine. Hopefully the FRAPS I snapped will capture a couple of pictures. I haven't taken time to look. I am busy watching WITH My sound uP!!!
BUSY, BUSY, BUSY EAGLES UP IN MAINE! How can I take a pic at this site???
:):):)Suz, you and I had the same question?????? I don't know!!
Suzanne I don't think there is a way without the FRAPS program. I snapped lots of stills too. I have to go see what I got. I also got one video of the one who took off towards the camera I think. I will send it around. Not sure if I send it your way if you can see it or not. Actually some time today see if you can see the BLOG where the fledges are again, speaking of Fraps and Videos. Once you get your computer going at home you have got to get the FRAPS program at least in the Free version which does the snap still ALL you want and the short FRAP videos too.
Click on the link for more FIlm Fest info
Eagles all gone...everywhere:(:(:(
OK Think I sent a picture of the Pair at Maine to all of you on here right now anyway. send it around to those I missed
See we got a new thread
Hi Good Morning Eaglelovers and Steve.
Checked my mail yes but Steven what I wanted wasn't in there :(
Good Morning Everyone Thanks for the ME eagle pic, Glo. Mits, thanks for George's pics...I hope he soon stays away from that nest before he becomes dinner. Suzanne I noticed that this weekend the Potomac Arts Festival is being held on the NCTC grounds. Any chance you are going to attend that plus the Film Festival?
I see no eagles at Maine or Kent now
I can't wait to see little "chubbie" crawling to Lun Lun then climbing all over her lol
This morning she was on her back and rolled over easily. Holding head up...that crawling is probably not too far off.
Which we could take pics there for Glo's pic site.
Suzanne since we can see "color" dab alittle paint on each of the sticks. Then we will know if they used them. lol
Tie ribbons thin on them that won't hurt the babies. In those colors then you can see if your sticks were used.
Of course if George is in there too as Sharon said. You might see your sticks with ribbons on them in George's nest lol
Well Suzanne If you do get some sticks and they can read, and we see them in the Nest we will ALL know a winning picture when we see it.
Dana Anyone who wants to download Fraps and learn to take the screenshots CAN take pictures of Lun Lun and Buta Buta, that is exactly what that Baby Love picture is on there right now. You just have to take a chance and learn to do it. We are all going to want MORE of us to know to do this I think as the eagle Season progresses. We have last years fledges because Sharon chose to learn that program, and recorded them for us as she is the one up at that UnGodly hour. LOL Of course come to think of it, many many of us were UP early and stayed up as lante as we could to enjoy "our family". And if I remember correctly someone asctually spent wee morning hours watching for Lun Lun and Freida to birth their babies. Why not give it a try? Fraps.com
If I remember the Arts are suppose to be in the building that our table was set up in. The auditorium is there.
Glo I was thinking about doing Fraps but I am not sure if my computer can take it.
I am still running Windows ME....have to buy another computer in order to get Windows XP. Not ready to spend that money yet. Not sure how much room "Fraps" will take up on my computer space.???
Can you send me the link for the fraps that you downloaded and also the free ones link. I go in and try to find out how much space they will need. Would want to do free one first to see if I can do it lol might not be as fast as you all are lol
Suzanne I just sent email with info about the Potomac Arts Festival.
The list of the films being presented is very impressive! There is a lot of participation
I know what's for dinner tonight since it is cold out. Campbell's Tomato soup (just a bit of milk in it) and grilled cheese sandwiches.
Ed will be in seventh heaven.
Warm the enters
Just entering Romney to Shepherstown 1 hr 55 mins.
Just entering Chambersburg to Shepherstown 57 mins
Although I don't know who far from Romney or Chambersburg each of you live. That is just and est. and then you have to go to NCTC.
Dana The link is
Fraps.com
caution though Video files are huge, so yes maybe do nOT do the videos til you get more hard drive on another computer...
really I think I took out my laptop with the Fraps videos I was taking during the Flapping Memorial day weekend. BUT Still screenshots You could probably do fine with. They have a contact us on that link. Ask them about the Windows ME and how much space, if it will operate on your system etc.
Good luck
Pete's Pond is up
Hi girls,
I see Doreen has told you all about our trip over to Africa today, not quite sure if I like the graphics of animal nature in the raw, but as WAVELIT is the only Africam that working at the moment, Pete's Pond is down again due to an electrical storm last night.
and we have watched our Pandas Mai and Tai being paraded infron of the TV cameras again with Brenda being so cutsie pie again,,, and our new little girl in Atlanta is growing so fast she will soon be up and walking.
Last night, or this moning at 3 am, I watched a TV prog about Ospreys on their journey from Marthers Vinyard right down to Cuba, and how they survived the journey, even though they had a lot of problems with Bald Eagles dive bombing them and taking there food, well needless to say, out of 3 of them, only one Osprey got there alive, sod but again its nature isnt it girls.
Hope all is well with you.
Chrissy
XXXXXXXX
I love the sound of the "wild" when I'm living in civilization so to speak.
Ok ,Dana You have mail
I am off to the Post Office
Doreen, I don't know if I can watch the bamboons again. It broke my heart. Hello everyone. donna
Norma what times of the year are good so to see eagles?? Might have to wait till next year. Also do you know how much it cost?
Crissy, it was awful wasn't it. donna
Dana Eagle Train
http://www.potomaceagle.info/
I miss the pink Kitty. Has anyone heard from Nilla???? donna
Pete's Pond quickly
Beautiful large lepoard
Mauley is well. I have a tender heart. I have a reverence for life like Albert Schweitzer, I suppose. I think everything has a right to live and a purpose on the earth or it wouldn't be here. I honor life, even if it is a snake, a snail, or spider. I know, gals, we talked about not going there. Now a roach is different. I don't know their purpose, but you gils know what I mean.
Leopard is beautiful and drinking along time.
Mema Jo, I have missed something. Send link to Eagle Train. It would be a dream come true. thanks donna
Norma what month did you go when the eagles flew along the train?
Oh my, Jo, he is beautiful.
That was worth a pic for sure. My quote for glo's pics "Can a leopard change his spots?"
ELEPHANT AT PETES' POND!
I must be blind,Dana. There was my pink kitty all along.
Jo, I just tried that link says page cannot be displayed?? Can you send it by e-mail, please.
That elephant is having a nice bath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BYE-BYE, ELLI!!
Let me check on my favorites that the link for the eagle train is working - then I'll send it to you Mits & Mauley.
I got so excited over seeing the large spotted cat that I spelled
Leopard incorrectly - Guess you all knew exactly what I meant.
Chrissy & Doreen - the crock incident with the baboons: I missed it and I am glad that I did in a way. My question is- you were watching Pete's Pond with Fatty the crocodile, weren't you?
Thanks, Suzanne, got it. This stuff never works in my search engine when I do it straight from the blog.....WOW LOOK AT ALL THE ELEPHANTS AT PETES'
OMG, THERE ARE DOZENS OF ELEPHANTS AT PETES'
Need help those of you using Fraps select the start menu folder in which you want programs shortcuts. Which program did you all select???
AAAAWWW! look at that little elephant at Petes' Pond.
Doreen Thank you so much for warning me about a Croc also being in the Wavelit pond. More suspense!
I am the one who called it a leopard - I saw the cheetah'a pic, but admit I didn't know the difference. Thanks again for keeping me 'in the know'.
Jo I called it a :) leopard too. So you weren't alone lol
Is Pete's Pond down again ???
And is there only a black screen on Wavelit?
Tai is up in the tree (with no leaves)
Hi girls,
Just had Doreen panicing over the Matriachs new born elle at Petes Pond, the baby was struggling to get out of the water when mum told her to get out Fatty was aboutm but the little madam was playing mum and auntie up and I bet she gets a good telling off.
Well isnt it just the way,, we get a croc at Petes pond and then we find out there one at Wavelit as well, oh will our nerves stand it I say !!!!
I think I've aged 10 years today over it all.
Love
Chrissy
XXXXXX
My Wavelit is down - Pete's is up but not showing anything right now.
BBL have to take out Fraps ME won't support it
Hi Norma pet,
Yes I have ME you see and it makes me have sleep problems, and TV is a great help when you cant sleep.
and its was 8degrees below freezing here again last night.
My two cats are 15 years old and they have found their kittenhood again, and driving me nuts.
3am in the morning here is 10pm with you I think Norma.
well its dinner time now so I will be back later I hope speak soon Take care
Chrissy
XXXXXXX
Dana Sorry about the FRAPS..It would be great to have someone else be able to do this. I did however encourage you here to ASK them first about if it would run on ME...I am nOT at all familiar about that system. WEnt from 98 to 2000 to xp...missed that one completely. tell Santa you want a large hard drive and XP for Christmas LOL> Still will be plety of time to download it and learn it before eggs hatch
Mema jo.
Wavelit in Africa closed at 5pm there time so it will be down at midday with you I think, or so it says on the blurb pet
Chrissy
XXXXXXX
NOTE If there is something on here today that I need to read, and it has the word,
Croc, eat ,Bamboon, etc...I will miss that as I just go right on by from that point.
So if it is important for me to know..please just email me that info or put it in a seperate post here. I just can't read that and won't be going there today. I just can't. OK Thanks
ELEPHANTS STILL AT PETES', STORM GOING ON!!
Some...HANKY PANKY..going on between 2 elephants at Petes' Pond.
I hear ya, Glo
Mei is giving Tai a very hard frollic of a time!
Please look at Tai on Cam 2
The Potomac Arts Festival is being held in conjunction w/ the Film Festival, they have juried craft artists on the NCTC grounds on Sat and Sunday.
Tai went so high, the camera lost him in that tree.
Mits You have mail
Thanks Mema Jo
Mits - your hanky panky remark was described very well by Norma LOL
Told you to watch out for that
bull elephant!
OK, NORMA
What you going to do with your
100 lbs of wax?
Buta Buta has a really warm soft pillow for her head now. Comfy!
YEAH !! Tai is climbing down.
Hope he goes and joins him mom.
I guess that Mei & Tai are waiting for their treats. Hope they soon come before they knock each other silly.
All MT nest for the eagles.
I will return later - things to get done!
I guess, I'm just lucky, Norma:):):):)!
Glo, I so sorry. Normabyrd, your Ray Harm plates are priceless. I have most of the songbird prints. I hope you enjoy your plates as much as I do my prints. donna
Mits, you are a delight to us. donna
Thanks mema Jo I got the link and it worked. donna
Thank You, Donna:):):)
Mauley No its OK really, to each his own, its just too hard for me to read and enjoy...and I don't want to miss someting importan, that I needed to know
Pretty tenderhearted and down right supersinsitive at times too , and I haven't outgrown it Its just who I am.
Just checking in for a minute. I see our cam is still not up. Oh well, maybe Monday? I miss you guys. Will check back in later today or tomorrow sometime. Having a wonderful time!
WE MISS YOU, SHARON!!!!
Tian-Tian on cam #1...Mei and Tai on cam #2...all safe and sound and in for the night.
EAGLE IN MAINE..........
NEVER MIND IT JUST FLEW AWAY.
The moon is shing on the water up in Maine...but eagle has not come back...yet.
Well that has been really beautiful, watching the moon rise up in Maine, too bad the eagle did not stay longer.
Good shot of Lun Lun and her baby girl!
Looks like a party going on at Petes' Pond.
Figures just as I say that they are leaving.
Man! Look how big Buta Buta is.
Maybe we should start calling her TUBA-TUBA!!
Either that or Buta Ball. She is so adorable - it will be so much fun watching her grow and develop.
I guess Tai is in the cubby hole tonight where his Mom can't get him.
Smart panda cub!!!

Ok Lisa, what's the deal with brass monkeys on the porch??
Brrrr!!!
It is cold outside! Did I hear someone mention brass monkey's earlier?
Took one dog for a walk. When I got back, I had to find my earmuffs to put on for the second walk! My ears were freezing.
Looked at the temp when I got back 10 minutes ago, and it is 32° here.
Paula, thought you would be off to visit your son this weekend??
Buta Buta Tuba Tuba is all alone sleeping like the baby she is!
Vicky,
In fact I am. Leaving here early in the morning to go visit the college kid in NJ! In fact, gotta go call him in a couple of minutes!
Is he going to show you the campus?
Yea, it's a family day, they have all sorts of activities. Got to see most of the campus on our three prior visits.
Well you have a good time Paula! Connect with your son!
Checking in one more time before I go to bed.
Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feathers and fur!! Love you all!
GOOD NIGHT, SHARON...HAVE A GOOD DAY TONORROW...GO BEAVERS!
Fantastic sunrise at National Geographics..Petes' Pond!!!!!
If you are lurking..this is just awesome!!
Hi everyobody. Found myself a project to work on since it was quiet early this evening, now its Hot chocolate time
Been connecting tonight, too. Just had a nice long phone call with him...Looks like everyone is watching TV or tucked in for the night..gonna call it one here too. Talk to ya'll tom night, have a great Saturday!
WOW!!!! That sunrise is awesome.
Pete's is beautiful, thanks Mits!
Look at the sunrise at Pete's Pond
Kinda reminds me of Easter Sunrise. Looks like sun is going behind the clouds. They are getting up and we are going down:):). Cam guy is moving the cam away from the sun now. Looking at bird on the top of that tree stump.
Ok, name that bird.
Sounds like ducks around, can't keep sound up, might wake hubby.
It's know as the Early Bird
ROFLMBO!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD ONE, JO
Now some black-footed something or other are drinking some water.
That looks like a bent-tailed fox.
Poor thing looks stressed out.
Mei is beating up on Tai again!
I wish she would settle down and go to sleep.......... Very Very Restless.
Some on should give that poor thing a valium...she is making me nervous. I've never seen her this bad. Its like she wants him to nurse, but maybe it hurts when he tries.
If all goes well we should have a new Blogger showing up in here very soon
Ok Dr. Mits thinks it is a UTI or some sort of breast infection...this is not normal behavior for MEI...she likes to eat and sleep, or sleep and eat.
Hi Kim You made it!!! Good for you
Sounds like Mits Is diagnosing a urinary track infection on a Mama Panda
I see you Kim Not sure how many are still in here, its late almost 11:30 on the east Coast
BOOYAH, KIM, WELCOME ABOARD:):):)
Now all you need to do is type whatever you want to and hit login and publish...you won't have to fill the rest in unless you log out then you will need to know the info you typed in to get to your name in blue.
LOL Well she got in here. Not sure where she went now though. Hopefully she is typing another message. LOL
Kim Are you still in here? Mits Thanks for saying Hi to her. She'll be back if she's gone but it might not be tonight LOL.
Well I'm not sure what happened with Kim but if we got this far tongith, we can get back here again, but it might have to wait. I am tired and getting ready to say good Night. I will BLOG at you all tomorrow. Sleep well.
OK Kim You are very welcome!!!
Maybe I scared her off. Hi, Kim!! I won't be sooo loud. :):) I'm just extremely concerned about MEI, they are still running the cams at this late hour. I think they are concerned too.
Welcome Kim I may be too late to catch you leaving. I'll look for you tomorrow.
I am exhausted from watching Mei and Tai. They are still going at it. Perhaps Mei's testosterone levels are beginning to rise and that is why she is restless... That's the reason for Tian Tian’s restlessness. WHAT EVER
Time to say Good Night All
& sweet dreams - Stay warm
Don't worry KIM We will get you up to speed. Jo and I have been watching Mei Xiang and her cub Tai Shan at the National Zoo in Washington D.C. They are a pair of Giant Pandas.
Kim Mits, our panda expert, may be answering you as I write this. Mei is the mother panda of Tai, our precious 1 yr+ little boy at the DC Zoo. There are 2 cams that we watch.
If you want to email me, I'll send you links.....
jo_lennox@hotmail.com
Maybe tomorrow you could also join our Eaglet_Momsters group. All the links are in there also plus photos.
I don't want to get your head spinning with too much info. In
what state do you live.(timewise)
Going to say GOOD NIGHT TO YOU ALL! Temp here is 32°. Stay warm!!
I think that Mei was settled down and now Tai is being a little pest...
Can't win. I need to go to bed......
Night
Me too, I'm afraid someone is going to get hurt:(:(:(
AH HA!! Not too likely anyone will beat me to saying "GOOD SATURDAY MORNING" this time.
I hope you have a great weekend and enjoy the heck out of it....
Jim
Good Morning all. Looks like the gals fromt he UK are in early our time LOL. Hope everyone is having and will have a Great saturday. i am sure those going to the Film Fest at NCTC are in for a treat.
Lisa if you wait for the wind to blow hard enough, the leaves blow to your neighbors. LOL Just kidding...stay warm if you're going out to rake leaves. Mine and my neighbors are ALmost taken care of.
Hi Welcome Lisa again good seeing you on here.
Good Morning all Eagle lovers
Lisa I just read an article in the paper. It said either mulch with mower or let the leaves lay. They are the best mulch for your ground. They are a natural (like in the forest) for making the soil better and also controlling bacterias.
Good Morning All. We have some real early birds on here this morning..
Hi Lisa & Doreen. Glo, I got an email from Kim and sent her a good many links. Thanks for bringing her on here. Dana, I saw George in the nest around 9:30am. He better find a new house.
Hope Suzanne could sight Liberty & Belle today when she goes over to NCTC and give us a report.
Good mid-morning! Is the Eaglet_Momster's going to have a table set up today at NCTC??
No table - Suzanne is just going over to the Potomac Arts Festival and the Film Festival that Steve had on yesterday's blog.
Beautiful sunset at Pete's Pond.
I will return later - Things to get done...
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!! Beautiful sunset at Petes' Pond.
Fatty is on Petes' Pond now...first time I've seen him.
Mei still seems restless today. I watched her til well after midnight and she wore me out. Glad to see Tai is still around:).
My thoughts exactly, Mits. First thing I did this morning was check out the DC cams.
The elephants or at the POND.
That baby elephant is so cute.
Back again I might need to win the WAX to take care of computer problems.
Wished they would show what all the splashing is about at Petes Pond
Its the elephants drinking at the POND.
I'm sure of that Mits. Would like to see them doing it. Yesterday the big elephants were splashing. This wee little one got in the water beside of a big one splashing. All the big ones quite splashing and this little one took its trunk and just hit and hit the water lol splashing water. Like I'm a big elephant see what I can do. lol lol so cute
Dana you have mail!
There was a huge herd of them there. when I was watching right before you posted.

Glo, you did have a slip of memory! You're forgiven!
Ok, I'm out of here for a bit! You tell I've been messing around with new pics!

How everybody be doing this fine Saturday??
I checked the conservation films Steve mentioned, and they all look great. Is anybody from this group attending?
I'm trying to play catch-up on stuff I let slide, and trying not to get too stressed in the process. Stress pretty much defeats the purpose of a great weekend, don't you think?
Anybody remember Dinah Washington?? She was really great...I took a date to see her in San Diego once, had a wonderful time. Anyway, I am listening to a CD of her ballads, everyone of them great.
Have a creatively restful weekend.
Jim
Hi Jim! Less stress is best!
Sounds like Sharon is having a pretty great weekend, and things are going excitingly well for Andrew too. What wonderful times for Mom and son to be shairng together.
Lisa, it sounds like a beautiful place to have a house! I love trees! But I wouldn't want the raking job that comes with them!
WOO HOO!
REPORT FROM SUZANNE AT NCTC
Nest in Sycamore is built up.
Liberty & Belle are in the tree for the night!
Thanks Mema Jo I am very happy Suzanne got to see them, and for the report. She must be so very excited!!!
Her eyes were to the skies, she saw our raptors fly! Hope Suzanne can come off her cloud long enough to tell us about it!
Suzanne wouldn't be on here until Monday. She did get pictures today and will be posting them!
That's wonderful news...I'm so happy for her..now she should go home and get her computer set up, so she doesn't miss anything.
So far, things look quieter at the zoo tonight.
Just checked on them - wonder how long they will sleep?
All night, I hope, think he spent alot of time up in a tree today. Did see them this afternoon wrestling around a little. They have the ability to take her blood for tests, so maybe if she has an infection, they could start her on anti-biotics right away.
I hope everyone is pleased with Suzanne's good news. I will check in just before saying good night...BBL
LATE REPORT Suzanne called me just got computer to run sorry.. Liberty and Belle where there setting on a right limb above the nest. Suzanne said that the nest has been built up very BIG
Ok so I'm not sure who has had the most exciting day I would say it is either Suzanne or Sharon ...not necessarily anyone of us who has posted whatever we have posted on here today. Maybe tomorrow there will be some stories to shar, although yes my guess is it will be monday before we hear Suzannes stories.
Glo Suzanne is a good candidate for the wet noodle lashing for not having that pc up & running at home. We could have seen those pics by now... and have heard the whole story. I am so anxious to see them and have our cam up & running
Yep How about 2 wet noodle lashings One for Suzanne and the other one is for ummmlet me see now who else ocmes to mind here LOL...
Remember that smart test sent around recently says it doesn't matter if its typed right...if a couple of letters are right you can read the words Just Fine LOL
Do we I have to slap her silly, so she gets that computer up? C'mon Suz, you've got to do it !!!!!
