Hi Norma, Suz and Robyn! Hope I didn't miss anyone!

Oh, Yeah, Good Morning to everyone lurking out there! C'mon in and join the par-tay!

normabyrd said...

FINNY is in his nest waiting for DAD or DOMINO'S---ho!----He is preening & watching---I have grown to love that HANDSOME "spoiled" CHICK!!!!

Suzanne said...

Norma, did Dad just deliver a fish? I missed it, but he's eating something. Yup, has a fish.

Suzanne said...

Good grief, did you see that? Finny gets all huffy, probably at Dad, then takes his fish and off he goes. He sure was squawking at something.

normabyrd said...

The "LITTLE PRINCE" now weighs 153 lbs.----All that BAMBOO must put on the weight----I see him inside & he can't seem to--or doesn't want to---go outside!!!---

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE!----I've decided---FINNY must be going through the "TERRIBLE TEENS" phase!!!----Nothing pleases him!!----ALWAYS PREENING!!!

normabyrd said...

CT NEST has an OSPREY---Parent maybe?----This nest is interesting to watch---There seems to always be an OSPREY in the nest!!!--

Suzanne said...

We're baaaaaaaaacccckkkk...

Suzanne said...

LOL, Norma, yup, he's a big teenager now! Bit of a spoiled one, though! Don't know what he's gonna do when the Domino's delivery starts to slow down...

normabyrd said...

ATLANTA PANDAS are having a "tug of war" atop the tripod!!!----"SLEEPING BEAUTY" usually sleeps at the top---BUT BIG MAMA LUN LUN is there to STAY---BUTA BUTA is trying to push MOM out---biting, etc.---she is pretty good at it too!!----Those little "BLACK LEGS" swinging in the breeze!!!!--She is DELIGHTFUL & HOPES SHE WINS THIS BATTLE!!!----LUN LUN likes giving her a "hard" time!!!!

normabyrd said...

Back to ATLANTA!-----THE WINNER IS--------"sleeping beauty"----She is on the top getting comfortable---LUN LUN is roaming----5 DAYS TILL BIRTHDAY!!!!-----LUN LUN will probably eat the "CAKE"!!!

Suzanne said...

Somebody wrote something in the sand in Bonaire, but don't know what language it's in. I can see it, but can't read it. Cool, sending messages to the cam. Hum, maybe that's a good thing I can't read it...

Suzanne said...

Oh, Norma, that's funny!

Suzanne said...

Squiggles is moving around, Bai is sleeping. Wish they'd focus that cam, it's been fuzzy all day.

Suzanne said...

Hi Megan. Hope your mood improves when you WIN!!! Always nice to fight city hall and win. Hope you feel better soon and get over the ear and sinus infections!

normabyrd said...

CHECK OUT THE LITTLE PRINCE'S "PARENTS"-----while TAI is quietly eating BAMBOO---His parents are in A TREE TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER!!!----SORRY--I' m laughing---but this is TOO MUCH FUN TO WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!

Jill said...

Norma, Joey was born after the MD-WVU game 21 years ago. Dr. had delivered 6 babies that day, came in to my room and said "I am exhausted and I want to watch the game, so you can't have that one til after" Of course, he was kidding but Joey didn't know that. He waited until 20 minutes after WVU beat MD then showed up. Dr. was a MD fan. Up until about 3 years ago the game was always on the weekend of his birthday. Then they added teams and changed the schedule.

Mema Jo said...

Good Late Morning Everyone
Rather late then never! Reading all comments and doing emails. Finny and Squiggles have the spotlights.
Lots going on with TGIF! I love being retired but miss that feeling of freedom I used to get around 4:00 Friday afternoons. If I close my eyes I can picture it well enough not to go backwards in my life!

normabyrd said...

BEAUTIFUL MEGAN!!---I am so sorry you are ailing!!!----When you are tired & don't feel well----every thing seems to look BLACK----but I bet when you get some rest & your infection clears up---You will see the SUNSHINE----easier to see things in the morning!!!---REMEMBER MEGAN---I TOLD YOU A LONG TIME AGO------YOU GOT SPUNK!!!---
--"LOVE TO YOU & FAMILY"----

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jill. Morning, Jo. Jo, too funny. Don't wanna go backwards, just pretend it's a TGIF for you! We'll let you play!

Bai just put Squiggles down, took a couple steps, turned around and looked at the cub, then went back and picked her up...now she's doing something, but she's on top of Squiggles. But Squiggles isn't alone, now.

normabyrd said...

JILL---That's a GREAT STORY!!---I bet JOEY knew what was happening & he wanted to be born after WVU WON!----Hard to tell what the Dr. would have done if WVU won before he was born!!!!!----I LOVE IT!!!-----PROUD OF YOU MOUNTAIN MAMA!!!----

normabyrd said...

JO---I know exactly what you mean-----Every Fri. & before every holiday---I some how feel cheated!!!---Isn't it crazy---WE NEED SOME THING ELSE IN OUR LIVES TO LOOK FORWARD TO----ho!!!

MITS said...

GOOD LABOR DAY FRIDAY, EVERYONE. Just can't believe Labor Day is here:(.

Suzanne said...

Squiggles is alone, and they just turned on more light!

Suzanne said...

Trying to get that head up, now. ZOOMING!!!

Suzanne said...

Good grief, now he zsoomed out. Think he's trying to zoom back in maybe? Guess not, he's gonna stay where he is...

Suzanne said...

Morning, Mits! Got excited watching Squiggles! Zoomed back in, cub is so cute!!!

Suzanne said...

Jo, you still watching Meerkat Manor? They had a blip about it on the Today show last Sunday.

What do you think of Kinkajou? Isn't she a big B****???? She's gonna be number 1 anyway she can! Poor Mozart...

MITS said...

I've never watched that show, but aways when I see the commercials, remember how Paula's grandson called them Doggums:).

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' HELEN!!----Is "LITTLE PRINCESS MAGGIE" going to visit with you all this weekend?----You haven't sent us a birthday pic yet--or I missed it!!!!---I understand the weather folks have PROMISED beautiful weather!!!!----ENJOY!!!

Costume Lady said...

Squiggles seems very content. He is getting used to being alone.

Suzanne said...

Mits, you should watch it, it's absolutely amazing. It's on Friday nights, Animal Planet, at 8. The first half hour is the show from last week, and from 8 to 8:30 is a new show. It's on again sometime Sat afternoon, think 3, but wouldn't swear to that. I usually go in and set reminders for the Sat show also, just in case I fall asleep on Friday nights...been known to happen!

Suzanne said...

He is, isn't he, Wanda. Cute little thing!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING MITS, PAULA AND JO.
That sweet little Squiggles is very addictive--can't take my eyes off him when he is alone.
One day we will be watching him and he will get up and walk out of that den.

SUZ--
Be careful going home. Crazy drivers this weekend. Enjoy your 3 days off. See you Tuesday.

normabyrd said...

I watch MOZART too!!---I watch that channel & discovery channel most every day!!!!----The TRAVEL channel has repeated the ALASKA show at least 3 times!!----

Suzanne said...

Norma, you're another Meerkat Manor person? Show is awesome! Love it.

Thanks, Wanda, I'll be careful. Told someone this morning that the rush hour probably started at 9! Have to get my oil changed this afternoon, and made my appt for 3 just in case traffic is heavy. Geesh, the only bad thing about 3 day weekends...traffic!

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE!!---HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY HOME!!!---CAREFUL OF TRAFFIC-----LOVE TO "G" & HER MANY FRIENDS!!!---ENJOY YOUR EXTRA DAY!!!!----STAY COOL!

Suzanne said...

Bai back, time to eat..

Suzanne said...

Divers...waiving!!!

normabyrd said...

HELEN---I can't believe it either----summer is gone---Check the stores though----Have had HALLOWEEN out for a month & say the XMAS THINGS are ready too!!!
I think I can remember when it seemed the days passed so slowly!! ho!

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE----YOU GOT WAX!!!!

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE... LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT LABOR DAY WEEKEND...

i gotta get, i gotta get, i gotta get ... some coffee in my body!!!!!

then i can read the blog...i think.

Thank you for reminding me, Norma:

Thanks to the maximus for your early morning reports, Suzanne. I hope you enjoy a really great weekend.

Jim

Suzanne said...

Bonaire cam locked, 4 divers in the water with fish, one waiving.

MITS said...

Norma, just hubby this weekend. My D-I-L, should really not be 3 hours away, just in case this little one comes early like Maggie. Suz, have a great 3 day weekend.

Jill said...

Norma, Joey birthday present on several occasions has been going to the game. Both at MD and WVU. Only bad part about his birth was he was due on Sept. 21. So he shows up at 11:40 on the 20th. Took me years to say the right day. LOL

Costume Lady said...

Divers are going to drown!!

Suzanne said...

Thanks, all! Planning on a long restful weekend! You all have a great 3 day weekend! Weather is supposed to be beautiful, hope they're right.
Time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle/panda day. Snap pics of Finny and Squiggles...they fixed the light in there this morning, looks much better!
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, Wanda! Guess they fixed the cam coz the divers are gone! You had me scared for a minute with that comment, had to go read back...

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Jill!!

normabyrd said...

JILL---You are lucky!!!-----None of my "little ones" were born when they were supposed to be!!!---Course that was in the 'MIDDLE AGES' & things have changed!!1--ho!

normabyrd said...

CT OSPREY NEST MT-----BUT----There is a shadow of an OSPREY in the nest!!!----So must be perched above nest!!!

Jill said...

Well Zachary was a little stubborn. They were going to induce labor on November 1 because he was late. So at 11:15 on October 31 he showed up. Yes folks there was a full moon. Still deciding if he is a trick or a treat. LOL. And the entire anesthesiology staff at Winchester was busy because there was a very bad accident. That part was definitely not a treat. LOL

Jill said...

Hi Paula.

Anne Marie, was taking pictures and thought of you. One thing you need to learn to do is set the camera to take multiple shots. It is great for taking action shots.

Mema Jo said...

I was watching the boardwalk in Halifax - Novia Scotia.. My aunt and uncle are touring Nova Scotia and it would be a blast to see them on a cam! I think I would lose it!
I am just anxious to see if they went to Peggy's cove on a foggy day!

Mema Jo said...

I don't know which 2 pandas on Cam1 are interacting at the window.
Tai, this morning, was in a search mode! He was touring all over the place - even climbed up into the cage above his door and was sitting there.

I watched the Fishing Cat video the other day! It was interesting to say the least to see those cats dive into the water and catch their fish.

Mema Jo said...

They are talking up a storm- I really think it is Tai talking to Mei! Like "I miss you mom"

normabyrd said...

JO---Isn't that TAI "peering" out the window----I can tell TAI from his behind---His is white or whiter than the other two!!!----He is getting big---This a.m.--he weighs 153 lbs.----

MITS said...

He is getting big, but he has really been maintaing that exact weight for the last several weeks, like people pandas slow down there eating during the summer.He is in one of the older yards, and Mom and Dad are inside. Those fishing cats are amazing. DON'T FORGET TO SEND YOUR E-MAILS TO THE MAYOR OF SHEPERDSTOWN!

normabyrd said...

FINNY'S NEST IS MT----Wonder where our HANDSOME CHICK is now?---Probably looking for DAD to get him some food!!!!--

normabyrd said...

HELEN!!!!---I always think of TAI as our "LITTLE" PRINCE----Thinking I could carry him around----I still think of him in the same way I think of BUTA BUTA!!----But he is now 153 lbs. & I can't seem to believe it----Never thought he would grow up----ho!----STILL LOVE HIM!!!-------Always eating BAMBOO---not many calories there!!!

Mema Jo said...

Tai's hind end is the only way I can seem to distinguish him from his mom & dad. Or if he is the one up in a tree! I hate to say it but weightwise, Tai weighs just as much as Mema! ho ho! I need to drop 20 and will hopefully do so after this prednisome treatment!

Mema Jo said...

Squiggles is sguiggling around up around Bai's chin.......

Hope they can soon determine sex -

Mema Jo said...

Need to take a break - maybe a Panda Nap?? Not sure yet.... BBL

normabyrd said...

WHOA-JO!!---You forgot---TAI is 2 years old!!!----He is still growing!!

Mema Jo said...

Squiggles had the 2nd exam & guess what! They are not certain yet of the sex - Need to wait another week!


Squiggles 2nd Exam

Mema Jo said...

I am watching DC panda cam1
Mei and Tian are having a very vocal wrestling match! Rolling all over the place and over each other!

Mema Jo said...

Just found Tai on Cam2 sitting inside with his Fruitcycle.....entertaining all his admirers!

Mema Jo said...

All I can say is that all of you must be taking Panda Naps lol

Headed out - will return!

MITS said...

Megan, bummer...I sent my e-mail to the Mayor, now he will have more time to read it:).

Mema Jo said...

Perchance the extra time will get you more support! Do you have market this weekend, Megan?

Mema Jo said...

I went out on the deck after dinner -
came back in and opened all the windows and doors and let that beautiful breeze flow through the house. Temps have dropped and it really feels good out of the AC for awhile! The entire weekend looks like fair weather for all picnics!!

MITS said...

SD sure is a little stingy with its video.

Mema Jo said...

West End cam is up & running - No one is home!
Santa Cruz - there's a pic but it's distorted and of course MT.
Ms Owl is in the Motel

ButaButa - If you see any TV coverage - give a holler Cub updates says:...Watch for our Atlanta Beauty on the local airwaves. The last few days there has been a very friendly reporter and film crew documenting and recording her day, along with some of our thoughts on the past year. She's been a complete ham, so keep your eye on the tube to see her in all her goofy glory.
Getting ready for her Birthday Week of events!

MITS said...

There is some beer drinking going on at the Bonaire Beach, MT chair waiting for Megan

MITS said...

Somehow Tai and she must be related:).

Mema Jo said...

Tai & ButaButa - I thought we traced them to be 'cousins' lol

Mema Jo said...

Just got a call from Ryan and his family visiting at Ft Stewart. They are all in the van & headed to the Raven/Falcon game! Ryan and Quinn are very excited.....Glad they got the tickets! How cool is it to be from Baltimore and in Atlanta at the right time! lol

MITS said...

That is too cool. Hubby is going to be in Cinn on Sept 10th, and has been invited to go to the Raven-Bengal opening game on Monday Night Football.

Mema Jo said...

I guess the traffic into OC is horrendous this evening. Heard there was an fatal accident earlier on Rt 404 - that is what we use to get into DE.

Mema Jo said...

BBL this evening

Jill said...

I saw that Jo. Messed up traffic on 50 and 404. Bet traffic was backed up to Baltimore. At least to Annapolis

Mema Jo said...

Only 10:00 but I am going to call it a day.......

Good Night Everyone
Peace to You & Yours
Prayers being said for all your needs


Here's to the Early Birds on a Saturday morning

Costume Lady said...

GOOD FOR YOU, JO. Early is good!
Rest well.

MITS said...

Didn't hear that, Jo. I'm off to bed myself...GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!

MITS said...

BTW....Does Frieda #2 ever get off those eggs???

Anne-Marie said...

Isn't that a heck of a deal? As soon as I'm home you guys go to bed. Ok for you guys. I'm be back tomorrow. You cant get rid of me that easy....:)

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Heidi, not everyone is an earlybird!

Been working on college loan crap.

paula eagleholic said...

I Want the Wax and I finally got it this time!

Anne-Marie said...

Paula is it for you?

Anne-Marie said...

Hurray for Paula..

paula eagleholic said...

:>) :>) :>)

paula eagleholic said...

No, Heidi, I am all done with school. Took me 14 years part time...this is for my youngest son...trying to get him a loan for his portion...

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT ANNE-MARIE
AND ALL MY OTHER FRIENDS.
Have a wonderful Holiday Weekend.

Anne-Marie said...

Paula I got my camera I was waiting for. It was on my doorstep when I drove up. Its the one that Jill said she liked. The only problem is that I have two degrees but none of them are in rocket science. I'll never figure it out. I may have to come back there to find out how to turn the darn thing on.

Costume Lady said...

And MITS & PAULA.

Anne-Marie said...

Sleep tight Wanda. I'll be here all weekend. You can help me pack.:)

Anne-Marie said...

What about a Pell grant?

paula eagleholic said...

ASnne - atleast try to figure out how to take a picture and video before you go...and bring all the books for it with you...makes for good reading in the airport! Try to use it a little before you go on your trip.

paula eagleholic said...

Not eligible for Pell. They say I make too much money for any of the grants...we are into loans...

Anne-Marie said...

I will. I have a week. I was just being silly. I'm thrilled. Someone at the camera club can help me if I cant figure it out. My husband belonged to a camera club.

Jill said...

The only thing you must learn is how to turn it on and how to switch from single shot to multiple shots. The rest will take care of itself. Trust me. I am still trying to figure mine out but those seem to be the two most important things to me.

paula eagleholic said...

I recall you saying that...great resource...use it for sure...wish I had looked at mine better b4 I went on CA trip...

Anne-Marie said...

It took me just as long to pay back the loans as it did to get through school. I did it the long way too but it was worth it.

Jill said...

I am thinking of taking a trip down to the canal see if Liberty and Belle are around.

Anne-Marie said...

Hi Jill, I'm charging the batters now. The red light is still on. It came with the two lenses too.

Anne-Marie said...

Batteries. sorry.

Anne-Marie said...

If I can get some shots like Jill did I will be happy.

paula eagleholic said...

You must be so excited! I would be!

Anne-Marie said...

I'm like a kid at Christmas. I didnt think this would ever happen and I am so grateful. 7 more days. Its bitter sweet in a way. My husband and I were planning for this trip when he died.

Anne-Marie said...

Good Night all. I know its late for you and I need to read this manual. A peaceful sleep to you and sweet dreams.

paula eagleholic said...

Gnite, Heidi, and anyone else still awake...gonna hit it for tonight!

Jill said...

Okay get the batteries charged and whatever you do, don't leave the charger at home. Good news is you have 7 days to practice. But do learn how to set it for multiple shots so you can get things moving.

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT ALL/GOOD SATURDAY MORNING IN SEPTEMBER...

I kinda crashed this evening and would never have waken up to do this blog thing, except that Disney Land, which is a few miles north of here had a largish fireworks display around 10:30 tonight...pretty loud tonight.

I see the Finnish O. chick is still in Finland on Saturday morning.

Antelope are busy getting their morning water AND their morning scare at Pete's pond.

Greg has answered some more questions in Frodoville, and Frieda is sleeping in the afternoon sun atop her eggs.
I think I will look at some archived photos of Frieda from 3-4 years ago...can't tell if she's the same lady as then. She's the same Frieda as last year, I'm sure of that.

Jim

Jill said...

Hey Jim.

New Thread is up.

MITS said...

Just got on and there is a NEW THREAD..GOOD MORNING
