So Ceil, where are you???? Thanks for the new thread, Steve, and the heads up, Ceil.
Our kids are getting fed, both parents brought in food, then one left and one is feeding.
Male cardinal and deer now in OK.
Good morning everyone. Hope all is well today!

Morning Suz and Ceil!
Morning, Sharon. Have a good one.
Well found my way over here and brought this over from other page: I still cant not get our live cam up i get a message saying Request not found The link you followed maybe outdated or inaccurate.. rtsp://198.185.178.74/encoder/eaglecam.rm I have uninstalled and reinstalled real player several times...The last time i installed it worked 1 time and then this happens.. 30 second cam works fine.. Well im off the install a new hidden object game i just got from Big Fish Games.. Have agreat Day
Nilla, I think most of us are having daily problems with the Live Feed. Something just isn't right about that system. Someone is paying for that service and is not getting their money's worth!
Morning Sharon. Nilla that is the message I get when the live feed is down. Have a great day everyone. Still trying to get to work. Think I don't want to go?
Morning Wanda. You came in as I was typing. Sunny and warm today. Yea.
GOOD MORNING SHARON...
Is your Live Feed down also?
Ceil...have a good day. Can you watch our babies at your place of work?
No live feed for me either, Wanda, but am really grateful I can get the still cam. That comes and goes for me more than the live feed.
I drove to Danville, WV for Patty's Celebration of Life. Bless her heart, she had planned the whole thing and it was so spiritual. Such a wonderful woman to so many people!
OH, zooming in on Scotland eggs. One looks very flat all of a sudden. Think it's hatching as we speak! Darn flies, all over the place. Well darn, parent back on eggs.
It must make you feel good to know that a friend that you lost was loved and respected by so many people. She apparently lived a good life and it was not wasted.
Male just arrived in Scotland, female is steady talking. Oh, switch. Hope they zoom in again. Darn, no time, he gets right on those eggs! They're trying tho, just can't see much.
I'm not suppose too Wanda and with working part time I really don't have the time. I do sneak a peek sometimes. Enjoy this beautiful day.
Checked on padas and they are up and moving around poor Tai is gathering scraps from floor he is hungry..lol Pacing pacing good Lord what amess in there shredded bamboo all over.. He is bleating.. Oh by the way you can get ring tones of the pandas for cell phones for 2.99 and all the animals.. Thats 1 hungry barrrreeeee...lol Ray Charles dance at door.. standing on head..Potty time..Ray Charles time with bleating at door.. funnyyy Oh they put bamboo thru hole in door for him so hes a happy camper now..

I bet when he gets loose he runs and plays wildly... MTBR
Oh, Suz, did I see one baby in Scotland nest? Angus got on the eggs so quickly I couldn't tell for sure.
He sure did! They tried to zoom in, but he's quick. I'm not sure, they were zooming earlier when Isla was off the eggs, and I thought the one in front facing us, was hatching, but couldn't tell.
Our kids are getting fed again, and is the NBG eaglet.
LIVE FEED IS UP!
Oh he sounded like he growled.. Laying at door.. sniffing uner door... He is thinking if only i could git this d%^@ door off the hinges i would be out of here..lol Banging on door heck hes trying to tear it up... sliding door window back n forth.. hope ya'll are watching this is so funny... He is actually trying to slide the door open...lol Throwing head back.. gave up walked away now pacing the room...Into other room he figurers maybe.. back to the scrapes of bamboo...into other room.. Look out door here he comes..lol Setting in the room where the lil table is looking so sad.. Well i know he will get out and raise cane with atree.. Finally maybe able to close my eyes n sleep...
Live Feed is up for sure...that is why we call you Eagle Eyed Sharon!
Belle just left then nest and left a bit of left over fish...eaglets don't seem to be interested in it...they must be full.
I have juvie mourning doves this morning.
Not just live feed but live feed WITH SOUND!
Oh, one of the ospreys is flying over the loch and they're tracking it. Cool.
That must have been Isla, but they lost her. They have now zoomed in on Angus, and he's really panting. Must be hot in Scotland!
Isla has arrived back, zooming in on eggs.
OH, egg on right looks like it's cracking on the right end. But she's back on them. They sure are quick to get back on those eggs today!
Feeding time in PA. Kids sure are ready to eat! Oh, big yawn on one of them. Too cute. One got excited and fell over, they are adorable. And darn, don't see food, just parent saying hi, how are ya? Look at the crop one the one that fell over, it's bulging! Those guys sure aren't starving!
Both parents in NBG. Chick sure is growing.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE ZOO TODAY...HAVE A GOOD ONE
MOrning, all.
Have a great day at the zoo Mits. Supposed to be a nice day!
Thursday is week 9 for our eldest eaglet!!
Wow, hi Helen, bye Helen. Have fun at the zoo. Beautiful day for it!! Hi Paula. When do they start branching, do you remember? If BW is branching now, guess that's 11 weeks, they're 2 weeks older than ours. Right?
Raining in Finland, both sitting ospreys are getting wet.
DArn, osprey back on eggs in Scotland, and they are really zoomed in, but didn't get to see the eggs before parent got back on eggs. Did anybody see? Is the one egg broken yet?
feeding time at NBG, chick is looking good
Good Morning everyone, Well it's
raining again but not as bad as
this past weekend.I hope that all
are doing great today.

UPDATE FROM SCOTLAND NEST
The webcam below is showing live footage from SWT's
Loch of the Lowes Wildlife Reserve, Dunkeld
OSPREY DIARY: read the latest news from the nest!
12 May 2008
It’s been a relatively quiet weekend; our ospreys are probably more used to this warm spell by now.
There was a bit of drama on 8 May as a rather persistent intruder (presumably male) kept circling the nest while the female sat in the nest making a racket and looking understandably anxious. The male eventually swooped in and saw the intruder off. But the drama didn’t stop there… it was late afternoon when the male flew back into the nest with a large branch before cracking his beloved mate over the head (Laurel and Hardy style). It got worse as he proceeded to drop it onto the eggs! Thankfully they were fine, although the chicks may have something to say about it when they arrive!
The next day was relatively quiet with more or less the usual routine, although the male did manage to stand on the female while giving the nest a spruce up! That said he has been more attentive recently, bringing in more fish for her so he should be given his due, despite appearing as daft as a brush sometimes.
There have been a couple of other ospreys intruding into our ospreys’ territory but the male seems capable of seeing them off time and again.
This morning the male left the nest for around 8 minutes, leaving the eggs unguarded before the female eventually took over. By now the chicks inside should be generating their own heat and so it’s not quite so important for the pair to be incubating all the time. The only problem at the moment would be predation of the eggs but our ospreys are such great parents that I’m sure they wouldn’t let such a thing happen.
Thanks for the update, Helen. Love to read their diaries! Egg turning in Scotland, and they're zooming in, but can't see too clearly. Angus covering the eggs with moss.
Thanks Suz i got it up... lol birds chirpin all over.. Shouldnt it be night time over there in Scotland now?
Where is Norma? Yesterday I'm thinking she was working for the election, but she is really sleeping in today! Yo Norma, time to rise and shine.
Nilla, think it's almost 4 in the afternoon. They're 5 hours ahead of us. I think.
Well finally took sleeping pill and its kicking in.. should have taken it in the night but they make me sick.. Prolley sleep all day now.. so enjoy the beautiful sounds and birds..
just getting some updates from ZOO, Chengdu is looking good, there are still great concerns for the staff at WoLong....still incomunicato....I'm relying on zoo info. not too much the main-stream media
Thanks, Helen.
Nite nite, Nilla.
Hi, Wanda. I just read your message on the previous thread, so I probably missed Gene. Gotta get back to work now.
Hi Carol.
Doing nestorations in Scotland. Still raining in Finland. NBG chick eating again, little porker! PA falcon kids are all asleep, they're adorable. Oh, can see 2 little heads in the stork nest. Feeding time. Can almost make out the eggs on the TX wood duck nest. SC bluebirds are getting fed. And I guess we don't have a hatching yet in Scotland. Male came in did nestorations, and left. Isla never got up.
Now it's time for me to hit the road. All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Oh, lunch time for our PA falcons. Those little babies can jump up for bites now. They're so cute. She sure is feeding them fast, but guess if ya had 4 kids just all grabbing for bites, you learn to feed them quickly.
Wow, PA mom tears off a bite and just kind of holds it in the general direction of one of the chicks, and the chick jumps up and grabs it. They sure are growing!
Ok, outta here for real.
Wow, just saw wingercises & jumping!
off to zoo..........later!!
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE~~
Looks like a warmer, sunnier day in So Cal today. Could rise to 80°or more.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Good Afternoon
Pearl has a fancy feathered beak that I don't think she appreciates... lol
Hopefully she will be able to rub them off on a branch! 9 weeks old tomorrow - won't be long that all that wing flinging will pay off!
Asia Trail - looking for Helen...
The 2 sea otter sisters are out & about.
Fishing cat & Clouded leopards not around.
Sloth bear Cam 2A - both bears flaked out and in good view..
Panda Cams - Both cams are viewing pandas outside area
Flamingos are beautiful when viewed full screen (just double click on cam screen) Can't find Helen but Zoo looks like it has a good size crowd walking around BBL
Wow, it is a quiet day on the blog. I have been working in the yard and enjoying a beautiful day. I have more to do, but I am loading some pictures. I think I saw a Northern Harrier, but want to look up some pictures to be sure.
Feeding in our nest, noisy as always, during dinner.
Hi Deb - I've been checking in ever so often... Quiet....
I see the feeding going on - Middy is getting quite grabby. Not sure what all Pearl has gotten.
Comparing their size now to the parent and there isn't much difference anymore.......
BBL
Belle just flew in
Lib just flew out (I think?)
Don't think anymore food was brought in - Hopefully Lib went to get some more...
Eaglets alone as last parent flew out
Lib brought in a good sized fish...plenty for all
From a news report I just read.... By AUDRA ANG, Associated Press Writer
20 minutes ago on Yahoo news "Rescuers reach epicenter of China earthquake"
"Twelve Americans were found safe near the epicenter of the quake.
A spokeswoman for the World Wildlife Fund said the 12 members of the wildlife group were reached by satellite phone earlier in the day. The team was near the world's most famous panda preserve in Wolong, whose pandas were reported safe Tuesday."
That is wonderful news...Hope we hear more soon.
Hugs to all, it's good to be back,
Iris
Hi all! Have not been on today. Had a doctor's appt. Have been lurking and checking cams. Will not be on tonight. Going to the Stars(hockey play off) game.
Saw the stork do a poop shoot. That was something else!!!!
We had a full house about 10 minutes ago!!
LOL Just read the Scottish blog. I love the expression "daft as a brush"! Going to have to add that to my vocabulary!!!
Hi All, Just checked with Patuxent Park re: osprey cam nest....Greg, one of our naturalists, went out in boat and there were NO chicks in the nest and the female still hasn't been spotted. He took a chick from another nest and placed it with our male at the cam nest.The male has been interested, but hasn't yet sat on the chick to protect it. If this doesn't occur, Greg will return chick to original nest.
Stay tuned...:>(
What does Greg think happened to the female?
Haven't heard any speculation on the female. She was down low on the chicks Saturday & not there Monday afternoon.Since she was a new mate & possibly young,like BW, perhaps the weather got the best of her. However, I think if she were still alive, she would have returned to the nest by now.
Is some little bird sneezing? Might be the one that had feathery nose!
I got off early to plant flowers at last while it's not raining. Gonna get back out there.
BBL
Heading home early to try out the new weed wcker and finish mowing...see ya later!
This is the bird I saw today, do any of you know what it is? I think it is a Northern Harrier, common to area, flies low to ground, which this bird did. I am off to mow, now. Rain tomorrow, so I want to get done today with yard work. BBL
What is it?
Deb, I am going to say it is a sharp-shinned hawk but really not sure. Definitely a hawk though, I feel pretty sure.
The reserves that Lu Zhi’s team has checked in on have no staff casualties, but infrastructure has been damage. The Wolong reserve staff are all safe, including the ones doing the field monitoring. All 86 pandas in the breeding centers are also safe. Tourists, including 12 US World Wildlife Federation associates are also safe. The villages in Wolong have been wiped out, however.
just a short update from the panda curator at the zoo, this is from a Chinese colleague of hers
Busy day at the zoo, tons of people. Funny, no one really asked about the earthquakes in relation to the pandas...
Now that is a fresh fish!! Still flopping!
Whole lot of squealing goin' on for that big fish dinner!
Had a downy woodpecker at my suet feeder with little worms in its mouth and getting suet. Figure it was going to feed babies. Can't wait for all the different babies to start coming. Have had baby m. doves and 1 baby sparrow today.
You know, it is unreal at the difference in the clarity of the still cam and the live feed! Like night and day!
ain't that the truth...you should put the NBG cam next to the NCTC cam....what a difference
off she goes, I never did see the fish
back again, is that Lib with more food????
yes...more food
Yes, more food, but the babies are full up!
Thanks, Sharon, I looked up sharp shinned hawk in my SD bird book and the ss hawk and the Northern Harrier are right next to each other and similar in looks. If it is a ss hawk, it is migrating to the north. My book says they can migrate through May and are common to areas with trees. There were lots of trees where I saw it. Well, lots for eastern SD anyway.
good parent gets to relax and eat
crunchy:)
gulp....burp...
No doubt, Mits, really munching hard on that crunchy fish! Crisp!
Well, Lib was busy eating, Belle flew in and he just took off. What a gentleman he is!
maybe fish and chips:)
Evening Eagle Friends ( :
Mits thank you for update on pandas and Americans.
Maybe Mom Belle grilled out today lol
if she did, she burnt it, Dana
Sneeze Bless You
off she goes
Well she can't eat her own cooking......must have burnt it Mits lol
wonder what they will do with leftovers?
Now they are saying - COME BACK MOMMY, WE NEED YOU!!
come back mommy and take this crap out of the nest...
we want ice cream...
Ok this is what I am waiting to see. If one of our eaglets pick up the "whatever is laying there Belle didn't finish".
They are still busy getting rid of their last meal! :)
Nilla's chocolate cake with peanut butter icing sounds good yummy
Pearl is really curious about something below the nest.
NBG, Mom is preening and baby is sitting in nest looking around
I'll say they are getting "rid" of their last meal lol
I have to get my pole up higher. So when we are sitting at the kitchen table. We can see the hummingbirds better than last year. That holds my hanging plants. Then I need to make arrangements and get my flowers from Megan.
All done with yard work for today and I am done in. Time to get cleaned up and relax.
awww, both adults at NBG
Them younguns sure do love a good breeze!
FROM ZOO PAGE MAY 14TH A.M.May 14, Morning
We have gotten direct confirmation that the pandas at Wolong, Chengdu, and a preserve in Ya'an are safe. We do not yet know about staff and their families. We have heard that some reserves in Sichuan province were damaged by the earthquake, which caused some of the reserves' observation decks to collapse. Damage to roads has seriously restricted access to the reserves.
FROM ZOO PAGE MAY 14TH AFTERNOON UPDATE
May 14, Afternoon
We recently got word that the staff at Wolong, including those doing field monitoring as well as tourists visiting the reserve, are all safe. There have been no reports of staff casualties at any of the panda reserves, but the infrastructure at all reserves has been damaged. Everyone who has suffered from the earthquake has our deepest sympathy.
UPDATE FROM BWE
Nest Update
05/14/08:
An interesting sequence of shots where it looked like the parent was waiting on Intrepid to return to the nest for the meal.
We'll try to get some video clips this weekend to see if Intrepid is just branching or flying.
SOUNDS LIKE ONE OF THE PARENTS JUST ARRIVED BACK AND IS UP NEAR THE CAM AND MIC.
cardinals and what looks like a pileated woodpecker at the OK bird feeder
woody gone, but cardinals still there
now a bluejay is there
off to watch Criminal Minds and Boston Legal...BBL
what's up with LW, don't see an adult or chicks, just Chrismas tree branches
Rain drops are starting to sprinkle here in the valley.....
Wonder if we could do mental telepathy and get Pearl to peck that spider web away!! I think it sounds like a great idea!
At what time would you like to start
sending her some beams!!????
San Jose Falcon Chicks
The one looks as though he is trying to figure out
HOW DO I GET UP ON THAT LEDGE WITH MOM? lol
Deb, Been challenged over your hawk.
Body size would help you a lot for ID purposes.
Sharpie has body length of only 11"
Cooper hawk looks exactly the same BUT has that FLAT head...is about 16" body length.
Harrier has those disc-shaped eyes and is large..18". Wings look really long when flying.
Good luck...I'm going to send it to my bird buddy. :>)
Hi, Deb,
I took a look at your mystery hawk, and I think you can rule out both the Harrier and the Sharp Shinned Hawk, because your bird has a lot of brown barring, and feathers partially cover the legs.
It looks like either a Cooper's Hawk or a Northern Goshawk to me, but it would have to be a young bird in either species. It isn't colored like the adults of either species.
Do you have an idea of the size of the mystery hawk? Or the shape of the wings?
I think there are some on-line sites, which are helpful in identifying birds. In fact, I think I had some in my 'favorites' before the crash last month.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
There's more comment on the condition of the Pandas and the facilities in China following the earthquake on the SD Zoo site.
Also, this being Wednesday, there are probably info reports posted on that site and on the Channel Island site.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Hi Jim, I thought maybe northern goshawk, too, but the pale coloring threw me.
BTW, Jim, Have you seen your nesting hummingbirds lately? Did you get any pictures?
Are they ruby-throateds or another
breed? I know you get many other varieties in the West.My daughter in TX has seen violet ear and berylline as well as ruby-throat.
Thx, I love them :>)
Hi, Nature,
Haven't looked on-line much yet, although I took a peek at both types in Wikipedia.
They both have young that look something like that. They are different sized birds, and their wings have different shapes in flight...can't tell either size or wing shape from Deb's photo.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Nature,
Just yesterday I tried to get a look through my binoculars. It was really too close to focus well, but the nest is partly coming apart and hanging down.
I'm not sure if the young made it or not. The Allen's nest in Irvine is always partially destroyed by the activities of the chicks practicing their flying while gripping onto the sides. Could be the same thing here.
We don't get Ruby Throated Hummers out here, but the Black Chins I have are the closest related to the Ruby Throats of all Hummers.
There are several varieties around So Cal, but almost all I get in Santa Ana are Black Chins...saw one or two Anna's and an occasional migrating Rufous Hummer at an earlier apartment I had.
When I lived in San Diego County, we had mostly Anna's Hummingbirds with an occasional Costas sighted.
The Costas is the most beautifully colored of any I've seen. If you see the male in bright sunlight, it looks like a beautiful, iridescent rainbow, which always changes as it moves and turns.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Wow, I have been relaxing and have missed all the discussion on the bird. The coloring threw me, too, it was so white. Helen sent me a bird figure-outer program that is really fun. It says red-tailed hawk, even when I put white, black and grey as colors. They are the most common hawk around here. I have other pictures, but they are all showing the back. It was rather large, but was far away so size and wings are a little hard to tell. I am going to do the bird thing again.
Red tailed hawk again, this time I use white, tan and brown for coloring. I had picked Northern Harrier because it said it had a white rump patch.
Thanks for that site, Helen, I will save it.
A northern goshawk is not common to my area of the country, it would be unusual to see one here, occasional sightings in Western SD, hardly ever eastern SD.
Hi, Deb.
It so happens that the Red-Tailed Hawk is probably the most common hawk in So Cal also. It has many color "phases" across the country, and it could be a R-T. From what I've seen here though, I probably wouldn't guess it was a R-T.
It's a beautiful hawk, whatever kind it is.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Thx Jim for your hummer update, I've never seen an occupied nest, only birds at the feeders. How interesting about the battered nests!
Think I'll go check the ferry boat :>)
I think Juvenile red tailed also, Deb.
Been lost on the net looking at bird pics...
Can Mits or Deb send me that link...sounds cool. Thanks!
Too bad I never saw the front of the bird, but it is fun trying to figure it out.
Paula, you have mail!
TEE-HEE, Paula, you have mail...
I have had a long day, and I am heading for bed. Thanks for all the bird help, I learned a lot again tonight.
One of our eaglets is up and moving around.
FIND A BIRD SITE
did I miis the boat???
miss....
shutting down for the night...GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE:)
Well I have been awol this evening -
Hope you ID the bird my friends!!
NN- be sure to let us know about the osprey chick that Greg moved!
Wanda So glad that your Mom was out in the rose garden the other day!! Shot must have done some good for her pain!!
No ferry for me tonight!
Good Night my Friends
Restful sleep & peaceful dreams
Prayers for all our news being said
Went to my Mom's today and she was digging up a flower bed. I had a fit...told her to go sit down and she told ME to go sit down! LOL
I'm so grateful that she is feeling well enough to tackle a flower bed, but she really shouldn't...that's what Gene & I are for. Planted lots of plants for her while I was there and now I need some sleep.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS
Thanks, Mits and Deb!! :)
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE ... Mits, Mema Jo, Candy, Deb, Nature, Paula.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Good Night everyone. Never saw the ferry...using Mits bird ID! THX and pleasant feathery dreams ;>)
GO STARS!!!! Had a great time at the Stars game. Wahoo!! Ran into heavy rain on the drive home but made it just fine. Then had to watch my recording of American Idol. I did check the blog really quick and a few cams. Deer right now at Okie cam. Can not see eagles. Bless Spidey!
Way past time for bed. "Nite" to those asleep and "good morning" to those soon to be on.
Good morning, world. Another nice night out. Guess this will be the last one for a few days, darn. 60° at home, 61° here. Guess rain is gonna start either this afternoon late, or this evening. I still have fields at home that look like ponds! Ground can't take much more saturation.
See spidey's been busy again, darn thing! Can see the kids through the web, but it's hard. Wish he'd eat whatever that is in his pantry waiting to be devoured! Kids are all around the nest sleeping. The BW kids are also sleeping. Jackdaw on her babies, and both ospreys in Finland on their nests. Can't tell which is on eggs in Scotland, and they haven't moved yet, so don't know if we have a hatching. They haven't updated the diary, so maybe not yet.
All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Good morning, Suzanne...
I crashed earlier, and so now I'm up in the middle of the night, taking meds, waiting for sleep to strike again.
Sure can't see anything much through Spidey's 'tangled traps.'
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Well, it's Angus on the eggs, and he just got up to turn them. No babies yet.
I do believe Intrepid just took off. He was doing wing flaps and boom, just one eaglet in the nest! And we have an osprey in the BWO nest. And it almost looks like our kids are doing wing flaps through spidey's web, but too hard to see. Have to wait till daylight.
LOL, good morning, Jim. Yes, he's quite the builder, isn't he? Wish we could take a very long handled broom to his web!
Hope you can get back to sleep, Jim. It's frustrating not being able to sleep.
Well that was cool! Just had a tour of the Loch in Scotland. Angus has been calling for Isla, but she hasn't shown up yet, so the cam operator went looking for her. Didn't see her, but checked out the lily pads in the water, and then watched a woodpecker eat a bit and flick from tree to tree for a while. then he got lost, so back to the water, then back to Angus, who is still calling. Oh, here she comes flying in. Love this cam guy, oh, she went fishing on her waay in, how cool is that! So let's see what she brings... well, darn, where did she go? Found the woodpecker again in the trees, but lost Isla. Looks like a downy or what's the other one that looks like downy's? But it's huge. Oh, off the eggs now, zooming in. Nothing but eggs and flies on the eggs. Don't see any cracks yet, darn. Thought I saw a crack on one yesterday, but they've been turned and nothing visible now but egg shell. Oh, here comes curled talon to turn them and get back on them. He sure has big feet! Well that was exciting.
PA kids are awake and grooming.Or not. Going back to sleep AND grooming. Angus egg turning again before he sits back.
BWO osprey just took off, PA kids can't get settled, both eaglets back in BWO, our kids are doing hugh wing flaps. Awesome! And osprey back in BWO.
BBL
I've seen the loon mate come visit the nest, but whichever one is on it didn't want to move, so mate swam off. He's back now, and parent on nest is just watching him. Or her. They look exactly alike, so I don't know who is who.
GOOD MORNING SUZ...
What did Isla do with her fish? Maybe she has Alzheimers and forgets what she is doing.
I love that Loon cam. Hope we have two babies this year. Really enjoyed watching LuLu.
The Loon cam in Maine isn't very active. According to their blog, an intruder disrupted their efforts to get started on their family.
GOOD THURSDAY A.M. EVERYONE
GOOD MORNING AND NEW THREAD IS UP!
