Regarding the FIX, the guys are working on getting the fuel cell installed that will eliminate this problem with the battery that we have been dealing with forever. Keith tells me they are trying to get it done today.
I had FOX on the brain yesterday because the Piedmont Hunt rallied in front of my house Saturday morning. Nobody likes to see any foxes killed, and they rarely are, but the spectacle is really neat.

Been busy elsewhere. Just glancing back, is it Lisa's birthday today? HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA. Well, better not sing till I go back and see if it really is your birthday. BBIAM...
Well, nobody said while I was gone, so Lisa if it is your birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Also glancing back, you are looking for a job in DC/MD/VA area? How about Alexandria, VA? No idea where you live, but I think it would be a horrible drive, but that's up to you. Pay's good, that's the best thing I can say. Work in DC, get DC wages! That's what makes me get up at o-dark-thirty every morning to come in to work.

Thanks for the email, Suzanne.
And thanks to everyone for the early b-day wishes. I'll be heading out of town on Friday but the b-day is the 23rd.
Lisa I watched the video of Hawk Mt. Thanks for putting that on the site. Awesome view. Would be neat if they had a cam we could watch.
Norma, I will be at open house I just don't know when or for how long. I have Robyn's cell number so I can find you when I get there. As long as I am on the north side of King Street, I am okay.
Lisa-my cousin's in-laws live in The Villages. My in-laws live about 5 miles away. Have fun. And good luck finding a job.
NORMA! I just saw on the news that there a an autistic teen lost on Dolly Sods. Severely autistic. No food, No water, no shelter. What the heck were they thinking. Been there since Sunday.
It's not the roads in Hampshire County, it's the Main street thru Romney. Bump Bump Bump
Jill I seen that in today's newspaper. Can't figure out why parents would let him go ahead of them.
I posted the photos from Saturday and Sunday:
Last weekend's photos
AWESOME, BOB:):):)
Cool pics, Bob. Love the swarm of birds and the "marching swan"
They said they had been there many times before. I don't care how many times they have been there, he is still autistic. Now they are saying he doesn't talk at all, so even if he hears them he can't answer. I just can't understand why he wasn't attached to them somehow. It is a beautiful place but you can easily get lost. I was lost just out side the park. We got of path and didn't notice. Took hours to get out of there and we at least at a clue where we needed to go.
Norma that lil Boo Boo is setting with his head down like Whaooo is me here i set and no one to play with me..lol He is in the 2 smaller yards and Tian and Mei are in the big yard.. Tai is just wondering around... looking for something to get into i bet...lol
Lil scent mark here and there Oh yeah let mom and dad know i was here...lol He walks with such a proud strut...Now beggin at the screen for some treats...
Eewwiiieee at BW.
There has also been an eagle on the WE nest for almost 2 hours...just sitting there and preening.
Bob thanks for the link for the new pics awesome. ty
Checking West End out Paula don't see any eagles. :(
He is there Dana in the nest. You can see his white head. I'll send you a pic.
Dana - you should have that email by now.
Program wouldn't let me open a gif picture Paula. I do have the nest up but don't see any eagles.
I think I need to close my eyes for awhile......I'm not seeing what everyone is seeing with them open lol bbl today sometime
A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LISA IN 2007...
It is good to wish "happy birthday" early once in a while, makes it seem special. And I hope it is a special birthday.
You are tops in the nestcam observation and comment field, as far as many of us are concerned.
Wouldn't it be great if you could get a paying job with an agency related to the BW Reserve.
Best of everything this year ... sure am glad you are continuing as webmaster at BW.
Jim
Jim, did you feel the 4.2 quake in Southern California this a.m.?
Thanks, Jim! I feel privileged to be the webmaster at Blackwater, so volunteering is a no-brainer for me. But working for the Fish and Wildlife Service would be very cool -- like a dream come true. Too bad they're doing a lot of downsizing themselves.
Dana -- yes, a cam at Hawk Mountain. That would be neat, especially if it had a zoom feature so you could see the more distant birds.
I took a peek at the WE nest, and sure enough, there is an adult Bald Eagle therein.
Jim
hey everyone...checking in for the morning...
one of the Natl Zoo pandas is playing with a big trash can!
http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/AsiaTrail/default.cfm?cam=LP2
no divers...has anyone seen any sharks on the cam before?
Sloth bear took a bath and is now lounging on the rocks on Cam 2a...
http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/AsiaTrail/default.cfm?cam=SB3
Wish I could see the clouded leopards...
Hope everyone is doing well. I'll try to check in again later!
the last part of the URL for the sloth bear cam 2a is:
default.cfm?cam=SB3
and for the panda is:
default.cfm?cam=LP2
Sorry I cut them off!
Mits, I did not feel the earthquake, so now I will have to check the news.
We often don't feel medium quakes here, as there are multiple mountain ranges. If a range is between the quake and us, we might not feel it. We usually feel the biggies anyway, but how much depends on the location of the quake relative to our location.
I've been in So Cal since 1944, so I have felt some biggies.
Jim
Quake was in San Bernadino but felt in southern LA. Or so the news said.
Young man still lost on Dolly Sods. Poor thing must be scared to death.
JILL---I have been try to catch up on my emails!!---I heard that on NPR (out of Charleston)---They say he is used to hiking & is wearing some hiking gear!!----We never get WV news here---W/let you know if I hear!!!----
The quake apparently occured at 11:04 this morning, Mits, and it was in the San Bernadino Mountains...probably not too palpable here in Santa Ana.
I found this neat site dealing with CA quakes:
So Cal quakes
Jim
When some hiker or child gets lost, whether it is in the So Cal mountains or in WV, I wish they would think of TRACKING DOGS first.
It would probably be possible to find this kid in a short time using the schnoz of a good tracking dog. But they often think of it last, which reduces the chances of finding people safe.
JIm
Bob Quinn~~You take some great photos, and once again, you came up with a good set.
Jim
JILL----Try ---WVMETRONEWS.COM----
You can read an update on the missing boy---18 yrs old---
JIM---He has been missing since Sun. evening---Easy place to get lost---dense woods---The have MT. HIKING GROUPS, etc.--NAT. GUARD, (who are familiar with this area)!!!--He can't talk----Hope they find him soon---The family has hiked in that area before!!!
Looks like I misread the time on the quake...read the update time instead.
I believe it happened at 1:53 this A.M., and there have been several aftershocks.
There is at least one mountain range between Santa Ana and the quake location, so the effects would have been minimal here on that size of quake.
You have to look at a topographical map of the area to see why it would be felt in So. L.A. but not in Santa Ana.
Jim
Jim-they do have dogs up there looking for him. Problem is that he is autistic and if doesn't know to sit still he could be any where on that mountain. And he can't speak so he can't call out for help. If they had hiked there before they should know how bad it could be. It is bad enough up there for a mentally competant person, if they get lost. Poor Kid. I hope they find him soon. It was only 40 degrees up there last night. And there are bears and wild cats up there as well.
Norma, I sure hope they can find him soon and that he is safe.
Jim
Norma-checked Metro News, thanks. There was also an article on there about my friend's ex who was killed in a wreck in NY. His little girl is in serious shape.
Hey Norma, the only hiking gear the boy had was boots. He was wearing a long sleeve shirt, wind jacket and wind pants. Not exactly cool weather gear. They did find his hat this morning so that is a good sign. It was also reported that he likes to hike, that might not be a good thing if he keeps moving. They had limited the search because of his autism.
Jim was you born in So Cal?
Parent if over with Dolly
ALERT OUR NEST CAM IS UP AND RUNNING HOPE ITS FIXED
New Thread is up. Still working on the fuel cell but Denver fixed the problem for now.
