GOOD SATURDAY AFTERNOON WANDA, MITS, ROYBN,JO< GLO, NORMA, JIM AND PAULA. I bet you all that I left town. Sounds like you have had a lot of sightings of Liberty and Bell. I just finished reading all my missed blogs.

Robyn, glad to hear that Tori made out ok on her tests and that her present math class is stepping up a notch. She will be much happier staying with the kids she started with and A's you can't beat that.

NORMA Sorry to hear about your eeeeeeeeeeerrss! Yesterday our PE teacher was all decked out in all her WV clothes and jewelry. I was hoping they would win too. At least So. Fla didn't blow them out like they did us last weekend. We are right now starting to play and VTech and will probably lose this one also. I still put up my flag and wear my Carolina shirt. I still have hope.

Sorry to hear about the loss at Brisbane. It just goes along with the rest of the year. I haven't seen the chicks yet today.

NORMA Did watch Squiggles when Bai left. She is getting to be the little mover and shaker. It won't be long before she will craw right out that door when Bai leaves.

I see you Gals got quite some storms up there. You might want to send a few clouds back at JIM. He seems desperate.

carolinabeachmom said...

I was interested in reading about your Monarch butterflies. We have a lady down here that visits our classroom every year and brings along her Monarchs, just before she releases them. She has a butterfly garden and each year collects the butterflies and tags them and keeps a log on them.

Each spring, around April, each of our Kindergartens receives a package of Painted Lady caterpillars with food in the mail. We watch them eat the green food and attach themselves to the top of the cup they are in and then tape the lid to the inside of a huge butterfly screened cylener shaped holding area. We all patiently await the emerging of the butterflies, give them sugar water, and then when all are hatched, we release them as a class. It is very interesting and the children even learn about metamorphisis.

carolinabeachmom said...

JIM I hope you are getting all your medical papers set up. I think they like to make it difficult for one to be able to understand what is going on. That was they may be able to make an extra buck if one chooses the wrong plan. Hang in there.

carolinabeachmom said...

Well, game is on and VTech already scored a touchdown, so it looks like a looooong day for the Tar Heels. :( I still have 91 emails to get to yet, so guess BBL. You all have a good day. Bah Humbug to the people on Colorado who have monkied up our eagle nest for the weekend.

movin said...

Did anyone see the beautiful African Fish Eagle on the Pete's Pond site earlier today? It was perched on a funky needle-eye looking snag and preening itself.

The white head and tail extend farther onto their bodies, but they look similar to our Bald Eagle...think they're closely related too.

Jim

floralgirl said...

Oh Denver....it's always Denver...We need an EASY button here.

Just Vicky said...

Yep, there's always Monday!

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Candy, are those kindergarteners still wearing you out? Or have you beat them into shape already :)

carolinabeachmom said...

PAULA, This years class is coming along a little slower than usual. Social Skills could be alot better.:) We'll get there tho.

Still have 76 emails to go. :( BB

movin said...

Bai Yun is in the den feeding the baby.

Jim

carolinabeachmom said...

JIM MIssed it. Su Lin is now on cam.

carolinabeachmom said...

Anyone see the Brisbane chicks yet? Each time I look, someone is sitting on them. :(

carolinabeachmom said...

I guess I had better go watch the game and see if I can spur the Tar Heels on. We almost had a touchdown, but Va Tech caught our pass in the end zone. Just our luck. BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Mits saw them last night...I haven't checked them yet today...OK, starting to get light there...looks like Frieda is on them now...

glo said...

I am absolutely bored to death so I thought "Hey there's a great picture!!! Take it and share it LOL...so you win.

Great picture

Oh and a follow up to picture one

Follow Up

Well at least Freda is finally in color and I have seen both chicks this afternoon.

monarch butterfly site

glo said...

Hey Megan Followed your link for the Monarchs. I also read some of the blog info a few days ago. Is there a chance that when I come to NCTC Open house in like 3 weeks :) That I could buy some Milkweed from you. That will give me something to have here that came from WV and from one of my Momster friends , and help me to attract some Butterfiles too. Please think about that. Thanks.

movin said...

eagle on bw nest.

Mema Jo said...

Very Very quiet evening when Denver is in control! All pandas present & accounted for - Squiggles is in the center of her bed and looks comfy. The eyasses have been fed -both parents were there for a short time.
At least you could see some of Frodo's head along with Frieda and the chicks were visible & being fed.
Kent eagles are back at the nest as reported on their forum by Loraine We will need to be checking that nest's 3 cams.
It's dark at Seneca Rock!!

MITS said...

Feeding time at OZ...Hello, Jo!!

normabyrd said...

HI HELEN----WOW!!---You are at OZ-----Have you seen DOROTHY or TOTO yet???----ho!----(you need one "corny" friend) ho!---
How is ANNIE feeling?

Mema Jo said...

Hey there! You were both hiding from me weren't you?

normabyrd said...

JO----No EAGLES at KENT!!--Need to check out SQUIGGLES----I saw her this afternoon---That "LOVE BUG" is MOVIN'---big time!!----Won't be long & I can't wait---

normabyrd said...

The "LITTLE PRINCE" is down on the floor in among his BAMBOO!!!!

normabyrd said...

NO JO!!----I was trying to keep up with my emails & when I flipped over here---THERE YOU WERE!!---Now I need to get some FOOD!!!---

Mema Jo said...

Go for the food - I am over cleaning out my emails also. Anxious to hear how Annie is and how lovable Maggie was today.

MITS said...

NORMABYRDI saw on the other thread that you were asking about "the Mount". It is Mt.St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg, Maryland. They were celebrating 125 years of baseball today, also they are celebrating their bicentennial..Hubby graduated in '69, and he was a pitcher on the baseball team. Our Son, Kevin is a '99 graduate and our d-i-l Annie is a '00 graduate boiling water yet:).

MITS said...

yuck, looks like debris on the WEST END NEST

Mema Jo said...

Is it on the nest or the camera?
Guess they talked about it on the forum - may go read about it.

MITS said...

on the camera, looks orange.

Mema Jo said...

Need to ask Paula about the TH cam critter she saw! And we think Spidey is to be feared!...lol

WE cam was beautiful all day - the photos are clear as a bell. Looks like around 5:00 it starts getting snowy looking.. I have no clue except moisture on the cam as to what we see now.

MITS said...

eyasses in view

MITS said...

alright now, picture is perfect at WE.....

Mema Jo said...

Just how did that happen! lol

Mema Jo said...

Guess I was 6 min too late for the WE just went into the No Video mode....

floralgirl said...

Shepherdstown Observer But I don't see the article Sandra mentioned, unless this isn't the October issue, if not, maybe it'll be up tomorrow.

floralgirl said...

If you click on community news and scroll down towards the bottom, Audoubon News, there's a really neat night trip you can go on to South Mountain with a man who catches and bands owls.You and 19 other people get to watch, sounds cool.

MITS said...

Jo, It's a miracle.....I swear I saw gunk on it.....HELLO, MEGAN!

Mema Jo said...

Megan - October issue of The Observer: NCTC First Decade, by Steve Chase.

floralgirl said...

Howdy Mits:) Still patiently waiting, I see. Guess that's all you can do..

Mema Jo said...

OWLS Did someone say OWLS.
That is so local! Wouldn't that be really something to see! Want to sign up?

Mema Jo said...

MITS - I really saw the gunk also when I first had it up. It was very very gunky!

floralgirl said...

I see that it says Oct. 2007 on that page, I just don't see that article anywhere.

MITS said...

Yeah, Jo it was smeared.....still waiting,Megan, but it might turn out better for her than last time, she can go in get induced, get her wonder drugs when she is 4cm, and hopefully everything will be ok, God willing.

floralgirl said...

Got my fingers crossed, Mits. Jo, doesn't that sound cool? Trip starts at 8:30 pm until 10, says there's some uneven ground and lot of walking.

MITS said...

awwww, look at Squiggles

Mema Jo said...

Well, I have Norma's cane lol

That may present a problem for me though. I would love to be a part of it. You can go and be my eyes!
Hooty Hoot Hoot!

Mema Jo said...

Squiggles still fits right into her mothers' paw...... Adorable...

MITS said...

they are really calm pandas, must be the laid back California style

MITS said...

eyasses in full view again

MITS said...

close of eyasses, someone must be in on their day off, its Sunday there.

Mema Jo said...

You know what? I am going to call it a full day! Talk with you tomorrow.

Good Night

MITS said...

right behind you....GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE.

floralgirl said...

Hey, check this out.. NCTC open house info

floralgirl said...

Good nite ladies. Check out that link tomorrow, it has details about the NCTC open house.

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE...

I'm surprised to see Squiggles sleeping in the den tonight... she's getting to be a little butter bear-el.

If somebody knows how to contact SD zoo by e-mail, you might tell them they don't have the latest exam posted correctly, and the video that's supposed to be from this week is actually 2-3 weeks old.

Rest well, have a great tomorrow.

Jim

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE--
REST WELL so you can enjoy tomorrow: it's going to be beautiful.

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES. i just took a chance and got up to find an eagle at BW.

carolinabeachmom said...

Good thing I got up when I did as he just left the nest. :(

carolinabeachmom said...

Of course our cam is still down thanks to Denver. :(

carolinabeachmom said...

The chicks in Brisbane are sliiping under thier parent's chin; at least one is. Other might be undernesth.

carolinabeachmom said...

That is chicks are sleeping. Alligators are sunning themselves in Africa just waiting for a tastey bite to come to the water hole.

carolinabeachmom said...

Eagle just arrived at BW again

carolinabeachmom said...

And gone again. Well I guess you all stayed up soooo late last night that you are sleeping in. I have to check my email and get ready for mass. Maybe the Kent nests will be visible then, as I see from the blog that eagles were sighted there now. You all have a good day. It should be a Beautiful one for all to enjoy.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING CANDY--
Very quiet most everywhere this morning.

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MORNING WANDA! I just checked back to see if anyone was uup yet, so I'll say hello to you and TTUL as I have to get ready for mass. Time to get your morning coffee.

Costume Lady said...

You are so right, Candy, time for my morning coffee. I too have to get ready for Church soon. Have a wonderful day.

MITS said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE Have a wonderful Sunday....

MITS said...

Hey, Megan, race you to dissect the OWL PELLETS at NCTC.

floralgirl said...

OH MIts, I've done it before, I'll let you be first in line...

MITS said...

NEW THREAD IS UP, STEVEN SAYS TO GO OUTSIDE:):)

Costume Lady said...

MEGAN--Thanks for the heads up on the Monarch Butterfly and Milkweed. I have not had the time to research the subject, but I did go to the link that you brought up.
The metamorphis of the butterfly is one of the most wonderful things in nature that we can witness. I see that it has peaked the interest of some of our members. Maybe next year we can dwell more into this interesting aspect of nature. Maybe there is a site out there that shows the life cycle of the Butterfly that we can follow along with and enjoy from begining to end, just as we do with the birds, etc,
