1 – 200 of 234 Newer› Newest»New thread is up, come on over. Good Morning Steve.
Yup, Suz, the Capt. woke up and we are enjoying our morning without Grandson. Love him dearly, but it is always good to take him home to Mom.
CANDY--
Where are you? You are in danger of getting kicked out of the PJ club. You are going to need a written excuse. Saw your message to Jenny, so I know you are OK.
Join us when you can.
Thanks for the new thread, Steven, and all the way from CT! Have a great weekend!
Thanks for the heads up, Wanda!
Had to sign in again! Did I mention how much I hate Google blog lately????
Bai Yun is laying on her side now, trying to get some sleep. She was biting her foot ahile ago. Now she's trying to cover herself with the straw!
Fin nest MT, but an osprey on the 2nd cam. Still dark in Swallow's nest.
So, our gal Candy is still MIA!!! We're gonna have to send out the hounds...
Lots of sailing going on in Finland. There are boats on cams 1, 2, and 5 at the moment.
Oh, Wanda, how rude of me! Tell the Captain I said good morning! Yes, it's always nice to give kids back!!
I think Bai Yun is FINALLY asleep. She's been up for at least the 4 hours I've been watching her.
Candy, if you don't get on here today, we will come looking for you when we leave Va. Beach.
Good morning Suz.
LOL, good morning, Capt Eagle! Think you're gonna have to go on a mission and find the missing Candy! Hope she's alright. I sent her an email this morning, but no answer yet. She may be visiting her sister, and don't know if her sister has a computer or not. I hope she's ok!
SUZ--
Speaking of Candy,I do recall something she said about several family members having health problems. So she is probably dealing with that.
I also got to thinking about MITS--haven't heard from her in a while but I guess she is still busy with her company from Arizona. Hope they are having a good time.
yeah, Wanda, Mits has company. Don't know how long they were staying. And I'm thinking that's where Candy is, also, with her family. She said something the other day about her sister having tests, so she may be with her. I just hope she's alright!
Time to Blog away and send them emails off to MeMa Jo. Either she will read them or ed will be reading them to her. :)
Morning, Glo. I'm glad to hear she's doing so well, and so quickly! Hope she can stay awake to read everything!
Oh my, Bai Yun is standing on her head. Guess she's not to comfortable!
GOOD MORNIN' EAGLE BUDDIES!!!---WANDA is 1st this a.m.---CONGRATS!! WANDA--YOU ARE #1!!!--
HELLO WANDA---SUZANNE--GLO & CAPT EAGLE!!---STEVEN---YOU GET ALL THE GOOD TRIPS! ho!--What's the temp in CT?--ENJOY WKEND W/FAMILY!!---It's a gorgeous sunny day in WV--temp. 67° this a.m.---expecting it get a "wee" bit WARMER!!---I guess that why we have so many MT NEST----every body is on VACATION!!

CONGRATULATIONS WANDA FOR BEING #1 ON THE NEW THREAD! AND GOOD FRIDAY MORNING TO CAPT. EAGLE, WANDA, SUZANNE GLO AND NORMA. I missed you guys and gals yesterday, but I finally got my husband and teacher to school on the same day so we could get our room set up ahead of time. She hords sooo much stuff (junk) I was hoping she would be able to see it all and clean it out some. Sooooo, I was there all day and came home pooped and fell asleep on the couch. Better now than when school starts. I want to be able to be on here.
GOOD NEWS ABOUT JO FROM JENNY. HER DAD IS TAKING THE COMPUTER TO THE HOSPITAL TODAY! Yea! Can't wait for the first check in from either Jo or her husband.
I have been reading JO'S UPDATES!!
WONDERFUL!---She has requested her lap top & "EAGLE MUG" for her soda!!--Sounds GREAT doesn't it!!!
I haven't heard from MEGAN!!--Hope her daughter is feeling better each day!!----MEGAN--if you are in your flower garden---take it slow!!
I was beginning to feel like a lonely little PETUNA in an "onion
patch"--ho!---(you all are to young to remember Arthur Godfrey)--EACH nest I check is MT!!!---Guess they are all on vacation---The "LITTLE PRINCE" was sleeping with his bamboo---Then they gave him a treat---When he gets one---VERY SERIOUS while he is eating it!!!---MITS---he misses you too!--
The San Diego panda can't seem to get comfy.
NORMA checked your stork nest and they are alllllll goooonnnneeeee! Maybe they will be back for a bite to eat.
SUZANNE Checked your Pa falcon cam and no men or ralcons there either.
SC nest up but empty, Kent nests MT, 1 owl in box and mother swallow busy feeding the little peeps.
WANDA AND CAPT. EAGLE Sounds so nice to see you both up and around together, sharing coffee and alot of love now that your grandson has gone back to Winchester. They are delightful to have around, but it is also nice to have quiet time together, too. I come home from school each night and don't want to see another child until the next morning. :)
HELLO CANDY!!---You have been MISSED!!---BUT think how far ahead you will be when school starts---When is your 1st day?---MT NEST all morning at the STORK CHICKS MOTEL!!---Yesterday there was the smallest in the nest a good bit!!--guessing it was GWEN---I am now on a first name basis with them!--ho!
SUZANNE is SCUBA DIVING in the Netherlands---ho!
SD Panda Bear just went outside her room! She is pulling more straw in to make her bed more comfortable. It must be too lumpy! :)Wish the cam was a little faster at following her. They are still out in her courtyard and she is inside. They heard me. There she is.
I'm here NORMA watching three windows;fish in Netherlands, SD Panda and Ms. Swallow, and my friend from Richmond just called and wants me to go to the pool up the street with her. I swear. I am not a swimmer and I hate sitting in the sun when it is hot, but I have kind of staled her off now for almost two weeks, sooooo. :( I thought I was going to have a day on here.
Tonight my husbands relatives that are staying in Duck, NC are coming for dinner. Oh well, I'll enjoy the blog as long as I can.
ONE OSPREY CHICK in the nest at CT!!---She/He is "DEVOURING" a fairly large FISH!!---Keeps looking around---probably wanting to finish it off before the other CHICK arrives!!!---NO SHARING OF FOOD WITH ANY OF THESE GUYS!!
SUZANNE Well I am here today and where are the divers and the schools of fish? This must be your site and they like you the bestest. :)
Welcome back, Candy! We were wondering were you were yesterday.
I've been watching the SD panda since 4! She is having a time, just can't get comfy. She got a little bit of sleep about an hour or so ago, but now she's just sitting there looking to see if the cub was gonna pop out. She's been nesting in that straw all day too. Now looks like she's eating it! Sure wish she'd have that baby before I leave, that would be awesome to see!
CANDY---I bet you have lots of guests when you live at a beach!!!-----I have always wanted to live near a beach!!!---maybe some day--ho!
She's throwing the straw up in the air! She's almost covered with it.
NORMA i never saw anything like it. These babies, whatever kind of bird don't have very good manners sometimes. But I guess that is normal, because no one is pervect.
Look at the SD Panda cam. It has been very restless and now has gone out to get something to eat and it is going everywhere.
Look at her throw that straw at the cam! She's covered from her waist down now! She's gonna have that baby today!
SUZANNE She is really funny to watch. I have had her on hoping to see a birth since I came on and heard. She is really restless, and so funny to watch.
I SWEAR---Those "GA GALS" do nothing but sleep!!!----The "LITTLE BEAUTY" is asleep on the top of the pyramid & LUN LUN is "STRETCHED" out on the floor!!!
yea, me too Candy. I've got other cams open, but have just been glancing at them. She really had that straw up close and personal to the cam, didn't she? Uh oh, there she goes out again.
She keeps sitting down and looking as if to say, "Are you ready to be born yet?"
She must have gone out to get more hay.
It that her in the yard? She backs up to places like she is ready. I almost want to help her push. :)
They are doing a close up of her in the corner. Maybe they suspect something is about to happen.
LOL, Norma, they're Southern Belles! They don't have to do anything but be pretty!
BaiYun is now walking around in her yard. Cams are following her very well!
Candy, I've got the Netherlands open, but not really watching it. haven't seen any divers today, but I only open it, look, minimize it again. I'm glued to SD today!
Good morning everybody. I sure would love to see that sycamore tree on this blog today! Love you Jo!
Oops, exercise over, back to the den. Taking some straw with her.
Morning, Sharon! I agree, look for the tree!
That's bamboo she took with her. Maybe she's hungry, she's not eating much these days.
CANDY---They are like my kids were!!---I think the first word mine said was MINE!!!---ho!
FIN MOM & CHICK are in nest---Starring out as if they see something---ho!---Wish they had sound---next year maybe---when they hear that we have it!!!!!
Morning Suzanne, Wanda & Capt., Norma, Candy and Sharon, thnks for the updates on the fauna and alla re doing well this morning especially Jo. Looking foward to Jo posting again I sure do miss her!
I will be studying for my midterm this week and lounging in the pool reganing my tan before we leave next week. Girls will be at the movies, mom and dad out so I will have a few hours of quiet time :D and I will be checking in to catch up. Suzanne hanks for the pics I have never experienced a school that big when I was diving but saw some really beautiful fish
GOOD MORNING ROBYN Glad to hear you are enjoying your stay in Fla. Mid terms, oooooooooo I am glad I am in i Kindergarten. :) Just relax and enjoy while you can so you are alert for the long halu back home.
My Friend from Richmond is here to go to the pool. Soooo guess I'll get on later. Watch the panda for me and gets pics.
Morning, Robyn, you're welcome. That's a really neat cam, but those schools yesterday were so large they blocked the sun from the coral! Looked like night. Haven't really been watching too much today, Bai Yun has been very restless, thinking maybe her cub may arrive soon! She's actually laying down now, first time in quite a while. Guess she wore herself out throwing all the straw at the cam!
See ya, Candy, have a good time, and have a good weekend!
Hope somebody gets pics of SD if she has her baby!!!
GOOD MORNING AND TGIF, EAGLE LOVERS...
I hope Mema Jo is tuned in to our shenanigans this morning. She's going to be back on here in no time.
You have to check the weekly reports on the Catalina site...very interesting with good photos.
Also, I opened BW first this morning, and Lisa has some pics of the Finnish "O" Bird landing on the nest after fledging..
AND, she has a link to the Finnish site, which works in my IExplorer for the first time--hallelujah!!
Good morning to everyone, hope you have a great day.
Jim
I was just able to communicate with Jo and she said to tell everybody hello! She has such a strong voice today. It was wonderful talking to her! God is so good!
Mom and chick are getting wet in Finland! Rains quite a bit over there! There's a seagull hanging out with the Cormorants, he's been there several hours! He just flew off, I think. Saw a hoodie there this morning, but don't think he stayed long.
Think BY is trying to bury herself in straw.
Ed is having trouble getting connected online so MTBR!
SUZANNE---I had to sign in again!!----I THINK SHE IS HAVING THE BABY SOON!!--IF NOT NOW!!!-----SAFE JOURNEY HOME!!!---TGIF!!!!!----GIVE MY BEST TO GYPSY!!
We are having a birth at San Diego
Boy she is acting funny.Good Morning all. Its pay day so I will be a lurker today. Busy, busy, busy. For some odd reason these kids want money for working here. You ought to hear the reasons for not having direct deposit.
Yes, I think she's gonna have that cub any time, and DANG!!!! I have to leave. I'd love to stay, but my other cube mate is due to arrive shortly. DARN! I've been watching her since 4, and I just know she's gonna have that baby today! Take pics, somebody, and send them to me. Have to send the image as a postcard, then you can save the pic that's on the postcard. Saved image will NOT put an extension to the filename, but it will save image. If you want, you can add rename the file and add .jpg, but the extension is not necessary to view the pic!
Norma, I only had to sign in twice today, which is 2 more times than I used to have to sign on!
Sharon, thanks for the update on trying to get Jo online!
Heidigirl, good morning to you.
You guys take pics of our birth! There she is, thought the cam operator was on break! Well, she's not here yet, so a few more minutes...
MORNIN' ROBYN--SHARON & JIM----Sorry JIM!---We checked the BW out yesterday----Did you see the pic with the CRANE---SUZANNE picked up on it before I did!!---LISA gave us pics of CRANE---I did check IWS yesterday & saw the BEAUTIFUL pics that STEFFI posted----SORRY AGAIN--I didn't get it posted!!--I think about the time ANNE-MARIE came to work ---So few of us on the BLOG--- REALLY SORRY!!!
Crap, what is that!!! They have switched cams to Mai Sheng!!! DARN.
Time for me to really get out of here. Take pics if ya can!
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Have a great day Suzanne, Candy enjoy your company.
Hugs Jo!!
I'm heading out to the pool for some solitude :)
I dont understand. Why in the world did they turn the camera off Bei? I dont want to see a tree.
ANNE-MARIE---I don't know why they
changed the cam just when everyone seem to think the PANDA was ready to be born!!---Did you read SUZANNE'S "PLEA"--for some one to take a pic---if possible!!!---Could you do that?--We saw TAI being born---He was just there---They look like a "rat"---ho!--But OH MY!!---do they ever change---
ROBYN---Enjoy your pool time---I certainly would!!---
If I can catch it I will take it. The problerm is its pay day and I will be in and out all day. She is sleeping right now. Hope this day we will hear from Jo. Its past noon your time so I hope she is feeling up to it.
I feel like I'm working OB again. this big gal is really working. She ought to be 5'3" and give birth to (4) 10lb,ers. I still really feel for her.
ANNE---I didn't know if you knew BAI YUN was back on camera---ONLY if you get a chance!!!---Did you & JIM get my message about the card???----I have a few things I must do to this afternoon!!!---If I hear any more about JO!!---will post!!--Last post 2 hrs. ago--ED was having trouble getting connected!!
OH---I keep forgetting---I should call you "NURSE ANNE-MARIE"---ENVY YOU NURSE ANNE-----
can't believe it man half the country is in labor and they change the cam again!!!!
maybe we are all in time out!!!
Its really frustrating. I dont know if its done manually or if a computer does it.It frustrating!
well darn thats all I know to say...she seems so very very close to birth!!!
If I miss it I am not going to be happy.
not a panda in site argh!!!!!
WAX for Me Ma Jo :)
Hey Sharon just read that you talked with Jo glad to hear her voice is strong.
Panda Cam is gonna send me after Blood Pressure medecine,
Hmmm wonder if Bai Yun is still pregnant...geesh people put it back Please, sigh
I wonder if something is wrong and that why they took the cam off. Leave it to me to worry like a mother hen.
Its back on her now and she is sleeping on a log. Not sure. Maybe they gave her something to settle her down. I know I worry too.
Where is Mits when you need her. Doesnt she know I have a Panda issue here?
Ya know if she's not watching because of her copany I bet she wishes at least a little that she could watch.
glo, I dont think thats her. Its Su and we were looking at Bai.Am I wrong?
Oh argh
No you are probably right...well maybe they are checking her out then SIGH
well guess I can't complain that there isn't a panda in sight any more though.
Atlanta had the cam on Yang Yang the whole day or maybe even longer than that when we were expecting Buta to be born.
Yep I guess I sort of remember that but then a little after 3 pm my time or yours can't remember whihc...there was that cute little stick of margerine LOL or was that Butter BUTA :)
I want to see the Baby get born!!!
the cam is on sleeping Su , her daughter. this is not thrilling. She reminds me of how my ex slept.That was just about as exciting as wtching Su.
Ok Ok where is that birthing unit with the cam to watch. I want to see if this one comes out "slip slidding away" like the video showed Tai did?
Hi Everyone HI JO XXXOOO
Panda birthing unit hopefully
Except that right now we are just watching a log...Not even a bump on a log though
for that matter that log looks like my ex too.:)
SUZANNE had been watching BAI YUN since 4:00 a.m. when she left at 11:30---I started watching about 11:00---They took the cam off of her twice then----When I checked back in it was still off her!!---Maybe they don't know we have NURSE ANNE-MARIE watching her!!!---BLESS HER HEART!!
hee hee Heidgirl that looks like him too lol
Women just there with mops and buckets....?????
Did anyone else see the women at the San Diego Zoo a few minutes ago. Like I said they had bucket and mops??? Norma anyone???
Dana, I havent taken my eyes off the sight. I didnt see it. Am I looking at the wrong sight. Help!
I cant be watching the wrong sight. I watched Bei in labor and didnt touch the monitor.
All I have and have had for the last hour is an empty log.
Your watching the same as me because your ex is still the log there. I truly did see the women with the buckets and mops.
and you can see things moving so the camera is working
Yes I agree Jill it does look like the camera is working. As you say you can see thing moving. Even the shadow of the branch of a tree above blowing in the wind.
How disapointing to the public. I really hope something isnt wrong.
I remember a while back one of the Pandas threw her cub right after birth. Sad but it did happen, maybe something like that happened, if so glad they are showing it. I checked SD TV stations but there isn't anything so maybe that is good news.
That cam is supposed to be on Su Lin.
I will be sick if something is wrong I almost never get overly involved in any cams but eagles and yet today I was drawn to watch the cam and kind of sitting here dealing with a major migraine so needed something to glance at whiel I didn't feel like doing other sutff. Oh Man...I just wan tto see the cam with MaMa and hopefully a baby or soon to be...
I dont know if ya'll read this so i copied and pasted here : Baby on Board
Posted at 9:58 am July 31, 2007 by Suzanne Hall
Bai Yun is pregnant! We have confirmed via ultrasound that Bai Yun is carrying at least one fetus that appears to be developing normally. A twin has not been confirmed nor ruled out at this time.
It can be difficult to get the ultrasounds accomplished due to many factors. First, Bai Yun’s hormones are making her very lethargic. Recall that in many bear species that inhabit cold regions, bears will hibernate in the winter and give birth to their young while in their dens. Pandas do not hibernate, but a female who is pregnant or pseudopregnant experiences a type of reduced activity level that mimics that of a hibernating bear. She is biologically driven to reduce her appetite and lay still for long periods of time!
Another factor is that her lack of appetite can make her less motivated to participate in an ultrasound. She usually receives rewards during training sessions in the form of apples, biscuits, or carrots. When her appetite is suppressed, these treats do not entice her like they usually do, so our keeper staff has to get creative. Our recent ultrasound found keeper Angie feeding Bai Yun apples flavored with some honey, which worked beautifully. Our bear cooperated fully and allowed the veterinarian to get a good, long look at her.
The vets have their own challenges in obtaining ultrasound images. If Bai Yun does have any bamboo in her belly, the gas and debris of her gut can mask the reproductive tract. If Bai Yun is panting heavily, the image moves in and out of the field of view. Since the panda has a Y-shaped uterus, even finding the upper sections of the organ can require some hunting. Once a fetus has been located, on some days the image quality isn’t perfect for a variety of reasons. But this time, conditions were excellent.
Dr. Meg Sutherland-Smith was able to obtain stellar images, showing a fetus in advanced stages of development. The images showed some bone development in the spine and skull, well-formed limbs, and even tiny claws developing on the little paws. The fetal membranes floated freely in an arc above the fetus as it wiggled and squirmed during the ultrasound.
Once we are a week out from delivery, at this point to be determined by measurements taken by the vets from their recorded ultrasonic images, we will institute a 24-hour birth watch for Bai Yun. We will be looking for signs of labor: increased time spent in the den, increasing restlessness that contrasts with her current lethargy, excessive nest building and, finally and most telling, intense and sustained genital licking. When this occurs, we will be minutes to hours away from a birth.
It is still possible that no cub will be born. Bai Yun has been confirmed pregnant with twins in the past, but she has never given birth to twins. One fetus was clearly documented to have disintegrated in utero. This may yet happen. But chances are very good that we will be watching Bai Yun cradle an infant panda within a few short days.
Video of Bai Yun including mating and ultrasound
Well unless Su Lin has turned into a log, its not been on her most of the afternoon. LOL
I would say it is time for the 24 hour watch. She was restlesst this morning, messing with the straw in the nest and licking herself, up to the time they moved the camera anyway.
Well I was watching Bai in her den and resless in what apeared as labor. then the camera turned to Su out side on a log sleeping. She then moved and only the log remains.
OK the camera change.
jill and heidi yep I was watching that too...I want to see Bai now
Need to go put my eggs in my potato salad for the reunion tomorrow. Glad I'm better so I can go visit with everyone.
Now on Mei
The camera is now on Mei Sheng C2... Paula have you recieved the check yet? Son said he mailed it in Shepherdstown... Such great news about Jo on the mend... As always prayers are going out to her... Dana how are you??? Feeling better??? Will call you later.... Jill i am really thinking of heading to the track after work at 11pm... Hand itches..lol prolley to lose money...lol
Nilla - I got it on Wednesday. Forgot to email you and let you know! Thank you again!
Would love to join you Nilla buthave to be up early in the morning.
Nilla I love the picture of the baby.......awwwwwww so sweet and cute. Looks like someone we know....DADDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY alot. Isn't it funny how some babies first take after one side more than the other. Later changing some do some don't.
If you read the blog for SD it one person asks why the camera won't be on Bai when she gives birth. Another asks if the cameras are stuck is that a good sign. No answers yet.
Jill I can't find the BLOG for the SD pandas
see the info one but not one where we as public can comment
unless of course I am confused
Look at the top above the picture, there is a bunch of reddish orange writing, one of the is the panda blog.
IN black More Panda Stuff: red News, 2nd red is Panda Blogs
See you guys later, gonna head over to hospital to see Jo.
OK TY just found the comment section. Saw the read more actually been there and done that but never saw the coments Geeesh!!!
Ok Paula I'm sure your going to give her all our hugs and smooches and love.
Hi Dana Yes she does look like her daddy... I talked to Jenny yesterday and she took her for a check up and Jasmin now weighs 6 lbs and they had to change her formula.. Hopefully i will get to see her this weekend... I am at work will call you later or call me...
Whoooo on channel 4 doing a Starbucks coffee test. Ooopss #1 girl liked was Dunkin Donuts, other guys favorite was McDonalds and #3 person almost choose one that wasn't Starbucks but changed her mind at last minute and wrote down a different number it was Starbucks. Oh yes they are raising Starbuck 10 cents.
Also news show ECARDS Greeting cards has a WORM with them. DON'T OPEN ANY GREETING CARDS!!!!
there is a diver on the ocean sight
Dana they raised the price this week $5.00 per cup. Yeah right.
Oh well he didnt come back but it was neat to see him
Mama S resting beside her chicks while they sleep. So sweet. Both Kent Kids in tree.One owl in box.
Are you kidding me Jill 5.00 for a cup of coffee??? Darn thats like liquid gold to same as gas..lol But our gas has came down alittle here now Jill... Well i didnt win the lottery power ball so maybe lucky at slots tonight.. Wish they would change that picture at SD..Nothing is happening
Hi, just checking in for a moment.
Dana..
I believe it is OK to open eCards from your family and friends (known addresses); but there is a dangerous trojan going around, which is attached to phony eCards.
I think my SPAM filter has caught a couple of them recently, and they did look phony, like somebody trying to sell you something, and it had a phony sounding subject line including "an eCard from so-and-so".
Jim
Thanks Jim for the input on the cards.
Ed's cutting up a watermelon for the reunion tomorrow. Hope it's a good one. I like watermelon but it doesn't like me. :(
Its a cub
IT’S A CUB! Congratulations all around! The news is on news radio station KNX 1070 AM in LA and in the San Diego Union Tribune newspaper under “Latest News”.
thank you. It would have been nice to see it born.
Champagnes corks are again popping at the San Diego Zoo's panda research center. Prolific panda mom Bai Yun gave birth to her fourth cub at 1:30 p.m. today. Mother and cub are fine, as far as zoo officials know. The proud papa is the zoo's panda patriarch, Gao Gao.... Applause!!!! I just wish they had let us see it darn.. Cam is on Mei Sheng still...
Video of the birth will be available on the zoo's “panda cam” Web site later today.
Cant wait to see it... Glo i sure wish you could have seen it ..
Isn't that about the time the switched the camera off of her? Can't wait to see the video.
Hello, don't know who the rights to the panda birth at SD go to, but at the National Zoo in DC, Tai's birth was not shown live, those rights belonged to the Animal Planet and were released the next day, and the cam went to 24/7 viewing at that time. Next few days are critical for the cub.
I am leaving to close up and go home. My best to you all. I may be able to get back on later at home. Rest and Peace. Anne-Marie
All i see is dirt bamboo and abig rock..lol Unbelievably hot and humid out... Next week is going to be in the hundereds someone said.. Yikesss
Hi Mits, Jill, Nilla and Heidi
Can't wait to see the video of the cub at S.D.
I had checked Animal Planet but they didn't say anything on there.
Don't quote me, but I don't think AP and SD are in partnorship together...SD says they will be giving us a sneak peek inot othe den within the next 24 hours.
This is rare natural mating, but from what I heard from people who watch this site on a regular basis and talking to the keepers at our zoo, they were really going at it. Pandas are very poor love makers, the males are not very good at it...sorry fellows:).
My ex must have been part panda hahaha.
Evening Mits, Jill everyone here this evening. Just spoke to Jo and well she sounded like... Jo :). I am sure Paula will have more info when she returns from the hospital she arived soon before I called.
Great news about SD and the new cub, nothing more beautiful then new baby coming into the world.
gee not so sure that made sense lol. Paula got there right before I called
Howdy Mits n Robn well there is a video of them going at it i watched and sure sounds like they were enjoying the moments...lol Maybe thats why our Mei didnt get pregnant he was all wore out and low sperm count..lolll
Now its changed to Su Lin,s area... Thanks for that news Mits... maybe tomarrow i can slide over and visit Jo just afew minutes as i am off work.. Just didnt want to tire her out or intrude on family visits...
I just relized that Su Lin was born 2 years ago on August 2nd 2005 and now has anew baby brother or sister born on August 3rd 2007 awsome Mom!!!
Panda cub born! (August 3, 2007)
Bai Yun gave birth to a single cub today following a 2.5-hour labor. Our animal care staff observed parturition at 1:31 p.m. via a closed-circuit camera installed at the Giant Panda Research Station birthing den. This is a delicate period for the cub, but Bai Yun is an experienced mother and the Giant Panda Team will be monitoring the pair around the clock. The Zoo’s Panda Cam will provide a sneak peek into the den within the next 24 hours.
Hard to relize our Buta Buta will be 1 year old in 33 days.. Time has really gone fast and she is over 50 lbs and hopefully Tai Shan's wife to be..lol
Wow 1 year in 33 days Nilla I didn't realize that either wow
New e-mail update from Jenny on the momsters mail.
Thanks for the heads up Mits
Video of Panda birth is now available
Ohhhh the video of the birth is on the site for us to view... its 2:05 minutes long...they said it was the quietest birth they ever saw... Although you dont see the baby you only see her holding her belly...
Sorry everyone I'm going to lie down.
OK Nilla I am at the panda cam but cant find the 2 1/2 min video you are talking about.It says there with be a viewing in 24 hours.
There is a link on the home page up above the running live cam that says see video of the birth
Are you talking about the Zoo home page?
Howdy, all! Got to see this Jo this evening...all is well! She sounds and looks good, and should be on her way home tomorrow! More news to follow in Momster mail after I grab a bite to eat...BBS
P.S. - I did not forget to give her the hugs and kisses from everyone :)
Yes Heidi the San Diego Zoo home page
OK let me go find my directions for that link thing and i'll see if I can get it on here
panda birth video at top of this page
I hope this will work for you.
Yea, I couldn't make out much on the video either...
Limuw at SC
Thanks for the info Mits. I didn't know it was a natural mating at SD - how neat is that!
My son was just at the SD zoo last week...on Thursday. He got some pics of the pandas, but I don't recall which ones he got to see.
They have at least a half of dozen or so pandas there, Paula, The expectant Mom has been out of the public eye for the last 2 weeks. It is a beautiful zoo, did he like it??? Great news about Jo coming home tomorrow, I know Ed will be very happy, and all of her kids also. What a great day:):)!
Don't forget to check your mail!!
I won't be on again until tomorrow tonight...we are doing our annual inventory count again tomorrow at work...
Have a great Saturday!
Prayers going up for those in need
GREAT NEWS--
Jo is going home tomorrow and SD has a new baby.
With that good news, I will say good night.
Prayers and Thanks for all of us.
Mits - he loved the zoo. I got to see it about 1 1/2 years ago, but didn't get to see the pandas. It was the first week they were letting people in to see Su Lin and the line was about 1 1/2 hours long!
That's the very best news about Mema Jo, Paula and crew...
I was going to send her an eCard today for her laptop, ran into flash player problems, which I just got fixed. And now I read she couldn't get the internet anyway, so, later for that....
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND! MEMA JO IS BACK!
JIM
Sweet dreams all, Suzanne check your email for osprey pics.
Great news about Jo, glad she will be heading home :)
Paula, you lucky duck getting to see the baby panda Su-Lin......GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE And HELLO, JO, If you stop by tomorrow.:):):)
thank you glo. I know your in bed by now because its so late but I did get to see the video. What I didnt realize that I sat and watched the birth at work before they turned it off and didnt know what I was watching. What a privileged.
GOOD SATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE It will be a great day in Middletown, Maryland:)!
No live feed from SD yet. Looked in on DC pandas, and Mei Xiang and Tian Tian are in the same yard together. Hope they behave themselves
OK, so that didn't last too long, they are already fussing with each other, he wants to play and she doesn't
I wish they would get along, chasing and fighting with each other.
Just talked to JO, and she is on her way home:):):!
GOOD MORNING MITS--
WOW! Jo is on her way home. We have all missed her soooo much; hope she gets on here with us soon.
Thanks for letting us know.
I betcha we will get a visit from her, but, she better REST too.
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE... Mits, Wanda, Mema Jo (hopefully), Paula, Candy, Norma, the whole eagle-lover crew, have a happy day.
Jim
Hello, Jim.
Finally, I can get the Finnish O. nestcam, but does anybody else's picture refresh in two parts? On mine the top half will have a different picture from the bottom half for a split second, and then the bottom will refresh and catch up....
Anybody else?
Jim

Hi, Mits,
how are you doing this morning?
Jim
JIM--
Not to worry--Mine has been doing the same thing for a few weeks now.
Yes, Jim, that does refresh like that sometimes, and Norma, Suzanne can just go to their site on Monday a.m. to see the video of the birth, but there is really nothing on it. If they ever get on to the cub den, and I see it, I'll send her a pic, I send pics from there all the time.
MITS---I see you are BACK!!!---MISSED you when we were watching the birthin' of BAI YUN---Of course we had NURSE ANNE-MARIE with us!! ho!
Fine, here, Jim. Company from Arizona left yesterday afternoon. Here by myself for the next few days, not looking forward to coming back to the heat on Tuesday.
PLEASE DO MITS!!---SUZANNE will be a HAPPY CAMPER Mon. at 4:00 a..m.---ho!-----thanks----
When I got back on-line yesterday, and read Suzannes' comments, I immediately went to SD. Been watching it most of the a.m.
In the 2 years that I have been watching the cams at SD, I have never seen them doing all this bouncing around between cams, like they are doing now.
GOOD MORNING MITS (GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK ON), NORMA, WANTDA AND JIM!!
Had my husband's visiting family for dinner last night so I nevr got back on the blog.
GOOD NEWS about the SD panda. I just watched the link. It is too bad that they couldn't have left it on, but probaby didn't in case something might have gone wrong.
GREATER NEWS!! OUR JO IS COMING HOME TODAY. THAT IS THE GREATEST NEWS ALL WEEK. Welcome back Jo, and hope to see you on the blog when you are feeling up to it.
Oh darn. I guess I will have to get off and get back on later. My friend from Richmond wants to go up to the pool again today, sooooo :( I will talk to you all later.
Oh, too bad, Candy...going to the pool:).
I just got ready and she hasn't come to pick me up yet. :) Sooooo I just don't like to sit up there in the hot and humid sun. AND I would rather be on here talking to you all. :):):) I have gotten addicted just in time to go back to school. :(
MITS How is your weather up on OC lately; as hot and humid as here or are you getting a nice breeze off the ocean?
