Suzanne said...

Lib is on his perch. Getting ready for takeoff, I guess.

Suzanne said...

No, just getting a branch to move.

Costume Lady said...

They sure are!!

Suzanne said...

Poof, gone.

Suzanne said...

Pics are away...

Robyn said...

Morning Wanda, Thanks for the new thread Steve.

Thanks, Ceil, got it! How cool is that!!! Saying it here, don't know if you'll get my email.

Suzanne said...

Bai brought in a bunch of bamboo, trying to juggle the bamboo with one paw, Squiggles with the other, too cute.
Beautiful panda snoozing on the log, Tai I believe. Oh, I'm loving this!

Suzanne said...

WHAAAA HOOOOO! You know who I'm talking to!!!!!

Suzanne said...

So, Bai put the bamboo down and is nursing Squiggles. LOL, right foot was just going!

Suzanne said...

Jo is headed over to NCTC, and looking for the best presentation possible! Hope you Momsters get to see Lib and Belle while you're there!!!

Suzanne said...

Juvie ewwwiiieee in BW!
Think Bai just rolled on her side like she used to and went to sleep nursing Squiggles. That's so cute!

Suzanne said...

Eagle chased juvie ewwiiee!

normabyrd said...

Eagle looking under the platform.
NZ pandas are on the prowl.
Ok, BW eagle sitting there now, whatever it was, he or she has settled down.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Norma. If you hurry, you can make NCTC too! Steve was looking for volunteers yesterday. I would have loved to go, but dratted work kinda got in the way.

normabyrd said...

Need to start again!!!---GOOD MORNIN'!! SUZANNE--ROBYN--MITS--& WANDA---It's another GLORIOUS DAY in WV--temp. 55°---this a.m.---ANNE-MARIE has promised to bring us some rain--ho!---Promised her a big PARADE if she does!!--SUZANNE--so happy you can see the "LITTLE PRINCE"---He is JOE COOL!!--

normabyrd said...

SUZ---The only way I can tell TAI from the other PANDAS---His behind is still white!!!----So I have a hard time if he is sitting down!! ho!-----

Anne-Marie said...

Good morning , its still dark but its going to be a beautiful day any way. I'm packed and ready to head off to work.

normabyrd said...

HEY WANDA!---The cooler weather has brought out the HALLOWEEN SPOOKS!!-----I bet business is BOOMING!!!---

Suzanne said...

2nd eagle just arrived in BW!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, Anne!

Have a safe trip! We will see you on Saturday at NCTC!

normabyrd said...

ANNE---Don't forget your CURLERS & EGGS!!!---So looking forward to meeting you at OPEN HOUSE!!---I did scan all the directions you were being given!!---

glo said...

Another traveling momster checking in and perhaps out. I am sort of packed. Its in organized piles ready to head to the car. I will head to Commode town in about 5 hours or so UNLESS bad weather makes it necessary to alter my time to head on out of here. Bad weather for us off and on today. 14 tornadoes west of me last night. WE just got the rain and wind. Storms are forecast to fire up again this afternoon, which is when I am supposed to be leaving. Well either way eventually either infront of or behind the storms I will See you all on Sat. Have a great flight Anne Marie and grand daughter.

Have a great day or two Momsters. CYA Sat, except for those who can not make it. (((((hugs)))) Ahh a little hole in my heart with that one, but It is what it is.

paula eagleholic said...

Good morning Suz and Wanda and Norma and Anne!

Anne, you have mail!

Suzanne said...

Bai is really covering Squiggles with the bamboo. If you look carefully, you can see her about 1 o'clock, cause the bamboo moves! She's totally covered, Bai just left. Too funny!

paula eagleholic said...

Glo, safe travels to you and Vicky! Be careful!

normabyrd said...

HI PAULA!----Is ANNE leaving today or tomorrow?----I am so far behind----Will catch up today!!!---I'm not going to take the train ride either---Called last Mom.--FILLED--Couldn't believe it!!---It runs every day this mo.!!!---

paula eagleholic said...

Check out the sunrise at SC

Anne-Marie said...

Norma you have to take the train. There will be a cancellation, I just know it!. You can sit on my lap if need be.We will keep checking until the last minute.
Glo, it will take you as long driving as it does me flying. Be safe.Thats an order.!

normabyrd said...

HEY----I can't see SQUIGGLES or BAI----

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' GLO!---SAFE journey for you and VICKY!---One good thing, VICKY has driven here twice!!---But pray you folks miss the bad weather!!!

Suzanne said...

Oh my, haven't been paying attention!

Good morning, Anne, Paula, and Glo. Good to see you guys so early. Oh! Never mind, not quite that early, is it? Time is flying by today.

Been busy, wasn't watching blogs or cams too much.

Glo and Anne, have safe trips here, and will see you guys Saturday!!

Glo, I sent your email to Jill, hopefully, she can answer your questions. I sure couldn't!

Thanks Norma, for the panda butt distinction! Gives me something to get started! Since this is the first time I've been able to view them, I'm just enjoying seeing them, don't care who it is!! Well, I do, but not that much.

Suzanne said...

Norma, too funny! Bai totally covered Squiggles with bamboo, then walked out of the den. Think she just came back and picked up Squiggles. Don't see the bamboo moving anymore, so maybe mom has her.

normabyrd said...

THANKS SGT.LARSON!!---Will pass that on to the EAGLE TRAIN folks!
SAFE JOURNEY FOR YOU TOO!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Norma - I checked on the train again yesterday...still full!

normabyrd said...

That must be TAI asleep on the limb!---He has grown so much---The PANDA that was begging food isn't TAI---I saw his rear!-ho!

Suzanne said...

Both eagles still hanging out in BW.
Think Bai is thinking about coming out of her den, but hasn't made up her mind yet. Before cam switched, did see Squiggles, she's still almost totally covered, have to look close. Ok, here we come, gonna explore!

Anne-Marie said...

My beautiful Diana cut her long natural blond hair and dyed it dark. I'm furious. She said she wanted a change and no one took her seriously as a blond. My daughter did the same at her age and dyed it red. Oh well, I guess its not the end of the earth. It will grow back. Well its off with me. One half day at work is better than none. It will save time on the books for the holidays. Next time I talk to you guys will be Sat. I'm the one with the frizzy white hair. Hugs.

Suzanne said...

Norma, look at SD now. You can almost see Squiggles little black and white markings. Bai has her out of the way in all that bamboo, but cam zoomed in.

Suzanne said...

Safe journey, Anne! Looking forward to meeting you Saturday!

normabyrd said...

THANKS PAULA!----They told me to call back FRI!----Told them I would take any seat available!!---Will see---There isn't any station----You park in a huge field!!---But there are signs on Rt. 50---We are a very small town & we believe the OLDEST in the state----SANDY disagrees--ho!---She says SHEPHERDSTOWN is---We both agree the incorporation papers were signed the same day! About the same time----But Shepherdstown has kept up all the old bldg. while ROMNEY has not!!---Which is sad!---Certainly told you more than you cared to know!!---ho!

glo said...

Yes Anne I will drive almost 4 hours to Vicky's as she lives almost in Indiana and I can just about see IA from my house. From that point on though it will be the 2 of us and yep I have an experienced chauffer . For those of you who tried to help and answer my direction questions,thanks so very much, I am told Our route takes us no where near Martinsburg and thus No traffic to even worry about getting us around any Aplle Harvest Parade. I am sure Vicky has the rest of it whooped anyway. I think even her car probably knows the way by now. LOL.

I did print off some nice suggestions though from Jill for a prettier through the mountains route, and a phone number sent to me by Wanda if we have any more questions. All is well.

In fact it is so well there is an eagle in our nest as I type!!!!

glo said...

wax

paula eagleholic said...

Yup an eagle snuck in!!

paula eagleholic said...

Now he is gone...looked like Lib!

paula eagleholic said...

Eagles gone at BW

normabyrd said...

Little BUTA BUTA is atop the TRIPOD sound asleep!!--Two balls & other toys in area---She is truly a "SLEEPING BEAUTY"---Also a true BEAUTY----

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---SQUIGGLES appears to have been shipped in one of those wooden boxes with all that packing "stuff" around her!!---I still have a hard time seeing her!---It is so dark!!

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, FOLKS...

It's still not light enough to tell what So Cal will look like this Thursday morn, but the Weather site tells us it is 56° at the start, whatever the developments will be.

Some interesting bird action at Pete's Pond...Weavers, Bee Eaters, Wood peckers (? azure blue, with black wings, looks like W.P.), King Fishers.

Jim

normabyrd said...

HELLO BLUEFIELD SHARON-!!---Haven't heard from you for a while---Are you coming to OPEN HOUSE?---Heard you were---then heard you weren't-------Certainly hope you can come!!---

Suzanne said...

Norma, it is dark, but look in the center of the pic. You can see her white body and little back saddle and legs and white head. Ya may have to look for a sec to pick her out.

Morning, Jim. Guess you're getting your sleeping down to normal hours for you, huh? I'm sure you're glad!

paula eagleholic said...

Snow on the Oregon nest

movin said...

I hope so, Suzanne...that middle of the night thing is kind of a bum scene.

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

2 Eewwiiies at BW

normabyrd said...

MORNING JIM---Are you going to hold the FORT down Saturday--while we are at NCTC??----Wish you could come---That is a beautiful place & EAGLE TOO----I think several MOMSTERS are there now---I live 75 miles away!!!----They are still hunting for the young man--300 trained hikers & dogs yesterday----The area is so dense---you can't see anything---must be a nightmare for the family----They have hiked there several times before---

normabyrd said...

DARN IT PAULA---I keep missing them!!----the EAGLES!!---But would enjoy seeing a vulture now & then!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Look at the eewwiiie laying on the edge

movin said...

Down to one Euuwwee at BW now.

Jim

normabyrd said...

JIM---You have to keep on schedule for a while----GO to bed same time & get UP same time for a few days------It's hard I know---But it gets easier each day---I bet you are thinking----"EASY FOR YOU TO SAY"!!!

Mema Jo said...

Hello I am sitting in a computer lab at NCTC. Mits, Robyn and I have just completed testing the new NCTC FWS website. No new design to our eagle cam - but I have met Jon and he could be the one for a pop up cam.
Having group student meetings now.
CU

Suzanne said...

Way to go, Jo! Hope you guys have a blast! Here I thought Mits went back to bed this morning, she came on and said hi and disappeared!!!

normabyrd said...

"BUTA BUTA" is enjoying a couple of her toys!---She is a STRONG little thing---They say she loves to pester LUN LUN!!----ADORABLE LITTLE IMP!

Suzanne said...

Raining in the Smokey Mountains! Even on the cam...
Mai and Tian are kinda separated, one of them is lying down, the other was just looking through that door (window?) and is now sitting down on the other side of it. Not sure who is who, or even if one of them is Tai, but just cool to see the DC pandas! And of course our Squiggles and Bai!

normabyrd said...

JO!---Thanks for thinking of us---WE WANT DETAILS WHEN YOU ALL GET BACK!!!----

normabyrd said...

SUZ----TAI or the "LITTLE PRINCE" as I like to call him--ho!---He is by himself----& look at his behind---it's whiter!!!

Suzanne said...

OMG, Norma, I can get Atlanta too!!!!!!! Oh man, I've died and gone to heaven. Did you just see mom drag buta buta then leave her? Didn't seem to bother her one bit!

Suzanne said...

Awww, somersault!

Suzanne said...

Norma, is that him laying down there? Can't see his butt.

Suzanne said...

Oops, typed that and off went the cam...roaming around now, so you can't answer my question.
Man, that little Atlanta Beauty is a cutie, isn't she? She just wiggles when she runs, adorable!
DC trying to find the pandas, they're hiding.

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---Got a glimpse of "SQUIGGLES"---Their little "black legs" just fascinate me!!---They look about 2 inches high when they are stepping up to climb---

Suzanne said...

NZ keeps panning around, and everytime they go near the one laying down, they pass a dead bug caught in a (I guess) spider web. Too cool.
Uh oh, here come the atlanta girls, mom chasing baby!

Suzanne said...

Wresting in Atlanta!

Suzanne said...

OOOoof, mom just knocked baby right off that hanging rope or whatever it is.

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---TAI is so hard to tell some times----I told MITS we should have them paint #s like they do the EAGLES!!!----She can tell by surroundings---I can sometime but not today---They have posted info about the PANDAS today!!----Hasn't been updated since Aug.---

normabyrd said...

BUTA BUTA loves to "pester" LUN LUN---usually sneaks up behind her & bites!!---Then they "rock & roll" & it is so FUNNY---Now I guess LUN LUN is getting even with MEI LAN!!!

normabyrd said...

Has anyone seen a DIVER this a.m.??

Suzanne said...

Some guy cleaning up Atlanta!

Suzanne said...

No divers yet, Norma. They're waiting for you!
Squiggles is now closeup, and never mind, here comes Bai. I was gonna say, you could see her, but now you can see Bai.

Suzanne said...

Norma, I guess that's Mai and Tain on NZ now, since there are 2 of them eating bamboo.
Keeper in Atlanta still cleaning up, and Bai is hugging Squiggles.
Well never mind on NZ, they change views faster than I can type.

paula eagleholic said...

Jo, Did you mean Jill or Mits???

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Jo, are you watching the live feed of the cam????

Steve - will the live feed be on, or is it on, during the Open house??

Suzanne said...

Uh oh, looks like a photographer talking to someone and taking pics in Atlanta. Guy that was cleaning made himself scarce. Wonder if this is for their paper? Here comes the guy that was cleaning.

normabyrd said...

I read in BIRDER SCOTT SHALAWAY'S column that the smaller birds are migrating now --He suggested if we sit outside at night & watch the skies---We will see them migrating!!!---He also stated that humming birds don't hang around for the food---It's the day light that keeps them here!!----Have any of you read that-----

Suzanne said...

Ewwie party at BW!

normabyrd said...

SUZ--I read this a.m. that they HEAD PANDA MAN--(JAY) is moving on to another job today or tomorrow!!-----

normabyrd said...

JAY--is the GIANT PANDA KEEPER & he is moving to another job at the ZOO!!--

normabyrd said...

THANKS SUZ!!---I saw the VULTURE!!

Suzanne said...

Oh, Norma, isn't he the one everybody likes so much? He has a fantastic sense of humor! I couldn't watch them, but I could read his updates.

Check out Atlanta now, guy that was cleaning just put up a bunch of new sticks. Wonder how long it will take for buta buta to knock them all down? Think I'd almost be willing to go to Atlanta and work for no pay, just to be that close to the pandas!

Suzanne said...

Here they come... First stick inside of about a second. Think that's mom, just grabbed it, sat down, and is eating, so it must be fresh bamboo.
Mai and Tian are together with tons of bamboo, and Bai and Squiggles are sleeping.

Suzanne said...

Oh, Norma, I'm so glad! They'll be back!

normabyrd said...

PAULA---Tell me what JO, MITS & ROBYN are learning today at NCTC??

normabyrd said...

"SLEEPING BEAUTY" is sleeping atop the hammock log!!!---Do you suppose they "pipe lullabies" in to her???

normabyrd said...

I think that is TAI behind a tree with a red balloon nearby!!---He seems to be eating his fruitsicle??

Suzanne said...

Oh, now I see what you mean by the hammock in Atlanta! Too cute. Think that's buta buta on the log, looks kinda small.
Not sure whois on the log at NZ, and Bai and Squiggles are sleeping. Our nest and BW both MT.

Suzanne said...

OH, thanks, Norma. I posted before I refreshed and read back. This is just too much fun!

Suzanne said...

Norma, Steve asked for volunteers yesterday to check out their new web site, before it's posted. Think that's what the girls are doing. Jill was supposed to attend, but maybe with her schedule, she couldn't.

normabyrd said...

The ATLANTA nest is a "hoot" when BUTA & LUN LUN start romping & chasing each other---That little LOVEBUG will jump on top of LUN LUN even after MOM seems to have won the romp!!

normabyrd said...

It is FUN to watch all 3 pandas--isn't it?---All are at different ages!----

Suzanne said...

YUP, it sure is! I'm loving this!!! They have Mei Sheng on SD now. Guess mom and baby are still sleeping. But must be panda naptime, they're ALL sleeping.

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE----SAFE JOURNEY HOME & LOVE PATS TO "G" & FRIENDS!!!---It is going to be lonesome here---when you are gone!!!---ho!

Suzanne said...

Wow, look at the SD closeup of Mei. You could count his eyelashes, if they weren't black!

Suzanne said...

Thanks, Norma. Geesh, hate to go, didn't realize it was so late! Guess everyone is either at NCTC watching for our eagles, or taking panda naps.
Have a good afternoon. You can still blog, that way nobody will miss anything when they come back. But you do kinda feel like you're talking to yourself!
I'll pet the kitties for ya!

Suzanne said...

Time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle/panda day. Man, that means quite a bit to me saying that, now! 3 panda cams, how lucky can ya get!
Blog at everyone tomorrow, and see a lot of you Saturday! Yippeee!!
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

paula eagleholic said...

normabyrd said...

normabyrd said...

TAI is in the pool--ignoring the ball----He is roaming 'kinda' fast!!---must have had a 'PANDA' nap!!-----LOTS OF ENERGY!!

normabyrd said...

ANNE----You can try the "RED" hair to match your dress!! ho!---KIDDIN'---SAFE JOURNEY!!

normabyrd said...

wvgal_dana said...

Hi All that are here

Was heading for NCTC this morning to help out but things got changed for me. I had enough time to tell Steven I couldn't make it after all yesterday evening. So hope Jo, Robyn and Jill that I know of have been good "students" lol.

Great news thanks Steven about the cell picture sure looks good.

Hope the train does have a cancellation for you I think it was NOrma.

paula eagleholic said...

Howdy, Dana!

Snow is melting in Oregon.

wvgal_dana said...

I see that Paula

Someone was just driving the Florida cam. Had it focus real close at a hole in a tree branch. Nothing there. Maybe they were looking for the woodpecker. I read about in the blog.

wvgal_dana said...

Bai just left Squiggles alone. That place needs and infra red light. Hurts you eyes trying to watch it. At least she isn't so tiny anymore lol

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - I saw the woodpecker, I think, in the hole earlier....

Pretty quiet day in all the nests I've checked...

paula eagleholic said...

Frieda is on ledge and Dolly looks awake

paula eagleholic said...

OZ in color

paula eagleholic said...

Dolly is up and over by the ledge

paula eagleholic said...

Now back to her corner

Mema Jo said...

Paula check out your email

Yes I am back & ready for a Panda nap BUT I know you would not forgive me if I didn't give you the details of this morning at NCTC/FWS. I arrived 2 min after 9:00 (late as usual) & was greeted by Steve, Diane(IT), Robyn and Helen (Mits)! Off we walked to another bldg with all the classrooms.
When we walked into the classroom filled with adult IT FWS students behind computers - we were introduced as the TESTORS! Then is when we were told the plan that the NCTC/FWS Website has a new look and it needs to be evaluated as to how User Friendly it was! We were each assigned about 4 or 5 students - they were not to ask questions of us as we tried to locate on the site the answers to about 20 questions! BUT we needed to talk loud and clear our thoughts as we were searching for the answers! Questions such as What is the next event to be held at NCTC! Before I even searched for Upcoming Events, I turned to all the students and told them that this Sat, Oct 20, 10-4 was Open House - then I found it on the web!Our most favorite question was "are they any eagles in the nest?" I think Mits turned & told them No - they're never there at this time of day!Then we opened the cam!
They were good friendly FWS people & we really did give them some valuable info as to how they could improve the site and we had fun doing it. Free lunch was enjoyed and one or two of the students sat with us. Went again to the tree - but only the leaves were flying around. Headed Home with an Apple Pie - Yummy - Thank you Robyn

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Jo!

So that's why Mits had to get to sleep last night!

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks for sharing the day, Jo. Loved your alls answers!

You may take your panda nap now!

paula eagleholic said...

Jo, got the email!

THANKS!

wvgal_dana said...

Josounds like it was really interesting.

paula eagleholic said...

Snow is almost all gone in Oregon

Steve Chase said...

Thanks for coming out today!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Mauley said...

Mema Jo reminded me that I needed to tell you gals and guys that I will be seeing the Atlanta Beauty next week. I have been busy getting all my papers graded so I could go and my students not feel cheated. I have my classes covered. Hubby has a great camera and we should have good pics of her and Lun Lun. I will tell her all about you Momsters, especially, Sharon and Norma. Hubby and I will also be on a train this Saturday (I would rather be with you gals, but Hubby is good second choice) We will be on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway from Blue Ridge Georgia to Cooperhill Tennessee and back. It think it is a Fall Foliage Tour. Blessing on your trip and traveling mercies. love donna
