GOOD MORNING EVERYONE remember it is Tuesday....Mason, here is your wake-up call:)
Sissy, I don't really turn on any cams till I have caught up on blog posts and e-mails...so missed them again

Sharon just got our reservations for the open house!! Yeah!! We will be at the Comfort Inn! I am so excited.
BOOYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good Eagle Morning Everyone! Haven't seen any here at the Park, but a GBH was in the osprey nest.
Gotta check Atlanta...
NO UPDATES FROM ATLANTA YET...I'm on their e-mail list and nothing has come thru
HELEN!---Do you think that is BUTA BUTA in the hammock?----She usually sleeps on the logs at the top?----
looks kinda of big for Buta...maybe Lun
MORNIN' NATURENUT----I hope we get to see LUN LUN soon!!!----
or Yang??
Didn't think LUN LUN would leave her cub yet!!---(unless???)---But I AGREE it looks too big to be BUTA BUTA!
I am thinking Lun is probably way more agitated that this bear seems to be. I think it is Yang.
Good morning, everyone. It is a cool, rainy day here today. We need the rain, but it isn't supposed to amount to much in southeast SD. Some areas got 3-4 inches of much needed rain.
Boo! Didn't see a panda update yet at Atlanta. Oh well, know they're busy.
Okay, I have come up with my name for the new cub - Bonnie Blue! Not to be confused with Blue Bonnett, however!
Now, I am not quite sure what I will call it if it turns out to be a boy, though!
Can't get any live cam feeds on these "regulated" 'puters. Said they didn't have it on, but see by your comments something is happening out in the yard. Bet poor Lun is waiting at the door to see baby.
My houseguest arrived last night and being the college senior she is, met her friends downtown at 11 o'clock last night. Oh to be young and carefree again!
We are going to attempt catching one of the radio birds today. The transmitter on her (A02) doesn't work so it is best that it comes off. We'll see, it could be a good comedy show. :) Jane is going to "hide" in the tower and try to net her.
Good morning all. Hope to be seeing some update on Baby Squirms and Lun Lun as well. really soon. Sound slike you all are getting ready for a big party in Oct. Folks traveling from near and far. Hope someone is letting lLberty and Belle know to prepare for many a loving traveler to happen by.
Glo, I sure do wish you were coming!
I am almost certain that is BUTA BUTA --- She is sitting with her back to the window eating her bamboo!!---She does that most every day!!---& did you all notice how the little BEAUTY had her nose glued to the window to see what was going on!---????
Whoo Hooo for Sharon and Sissy!
Oh, and Steve said they are checking on the 30 second cam!!
It would be great if everyone could come, wouldn't it? Glo, Iris, Red, Jim and Lolly, it would be so nice to meet everyone. (Hope I didn't leave any long distance travelers out)
Bonnie Blue is really feminine - I sorta think we have a boy!!! Then what do we call him. B-B ? Well we had ZZ! Did anyone email Suzanne?
Good Morning
Please Mason WAKE UP
Hope you all lit some candles
The light is getting low!
Shepherdstown Comfort Inn is
going to be rockin'
WHOO HOO!
Anne Marie also has Comfort Inn - I hope it is the Shepherdstown one & I think it is!
If it is a boy, I will change it to Benny Blue!
Well I remember the day when we had over 1000 comments published! It was during the 1st season.
Thanks Steve and I hope your long weekend was relaxing!
DEB Anyway it isn't too late to switch to the Comfort Inn in Shepherdstown from your reservation in Martinsburg?
you know I was thinking there was a thousand one in there.....
Maybe she is still in the incubator?----Guess I am acting like an anxious AUNTIE!!---ho!---BOY! -- this birthin' babies is hard!!
Jo, I sent Suzanne some emails at time of birth w/Zoo link and the 2 pics I took. Don't know if she is able to go on that site, tho.
Also sent her the juvie Sea Eagle that was in Finny nest.
Panda Cub Update Tuesday 2 September 2008, 10:00 AMThe giant panda cub born at Zoo Atlanta on Saturday, 30 September remains in an incubator in the Zoo’s panda facility. Zoo Atlanta Veterinarian Dr. Sam Rivera described the cub’s condition this morning as “guarded”. The cub is accepting feedings from a panda nursery specialist from China, including milk from its mother Lun Lun and formula. The cub weighs about 121 grams, a normal weight for a three-day-old cub. The cub’s respiration and heartbeat appear to be within normal ranges for a cub this age. As a precaution, Chinese and American veterinarians have decided to administer a broad spectrum anti-biotic to the cub.
Staff are concerned that eleven year old giant panda Lun Lun had some reduction in milk production that may have led to the cub’s unusual behavior on Monday afternoon. However, keepers have collected some milk from Lun Lun overnight. Lun Lun’s milk is being tested for signs of bacteria. As with her cub, Chinese and American veterinarians have decided to administer a broad spectrum anti-biotic to Lun Lun.
Zoo staff hope to reintroduce the recently born cub back to Lun Lun as soon as possible; however, the staff hopes to better determine the reasons for the sudden decline on Monday before any reintroduction. Until then, the cub will continue to be hand-raised with formula, and hopefully milk obtained from Lun Lun.
As a reminder, giant panda cubs are born at a very early state of development, and the first days and weeks are a very vulnerable time. This is why we monitor mother and cub continuously during this time.
Zoo Atlanta’s Panda Cam will focus on giant pandas Yang Yang and Mei Lang from 10 AM to 5 PM until further notice. Zoo officials will provide regular updates several times a day on the status of Lun Lun and her cub, including, when available, photos and video clips. Thank you to everyone for their concern.

Ok, deleted mine! Thanks Mits.
You got us covered, Sharon!

Okay, that update sounds promising. Maybe this is not as ominous as I thought!! Did you see the video!
It appears to be active. That is a great sign.
I like 'LITTLE LUN'----rhymes with BONNIE BLUE----(gone with the wind name)
HELEN!---See you were on the blog before I was!---I was a lurker for a while!!!----So that is why I suggested you were an older blogger me----
Well I shall surley miss all of you and the chance to meet some new folks. It is very very hard for me to get away and with both of my kids long distance as well it makes it even tougher. I have to time my travels carefully and space them out. I yearn to see Elia and yet my next trip when it does happen will be to Georgia to see my son and his family.
Enjoy your time together and take pictures. Having said that I do hope some time in the future Deb and I can plan a day trip and meet each other half way or something. I think that is doable I am just not sure when or where.
That is Yang Yang on center stage!
Norma, my mother went to see Gone With The Wind and stayed for 2 shows that day. Got in a lot of trouble because her Mother and Daddy didn't know where she was. She loved Clark Gable and my daddy was quite jealous of that. Clark Gable died on Mommy and Daddy's anniversary.
Good Idea, Glo. My time through January is pretty packed, but a day trip would be possible. I really want to find a way to go to Idaho, too. Janie just warns us that it won't be a relaxing trip, she plans to put us to work when we visit. I really want to meet Beauty someday, that would be so amazing.
MORNIN' DEB--& GLO!----DEB---sounds like you have a FUN day planned---ENJOY!---------GLO - is VICKY coming?---Wish you would come with her!!!
THANKS HELEN!---They didn't have the update when I last checked in!!----That probably is LUN LUN---when the PANDA---- that was sleeping woke up----She stared out the window for a while before she began to eat the bamboo!!---We need to paint a #---like they do the EAGLES!!---ho!!
they only have the cams on Yang and Mei today Norma, look at info right under cam
Hi Norma I honestly do not know what Vicky's plans are at this point. For me though its much more than arranging the transportation to get there. I did however absolutley love my chance to meet you and so many others last year. Someday perhaps I will get there again but rember when I retired LOL..Not retired anymore. Perhaps once I retire again LOL.
Hope you were watching Yang Yang -
lol - He isn't as agile as Buta Buta when it comes to climbing up and then sliding down the tripod
Ha Ha Deb and I plan a trip to Hoo Haven this Fall. I am already collecting things to donate to their rehab center. I also have plans to work when I arrive not just vist. I love hands on with animals most any animals except well maybe they don't have any of those at the rehab center.
Ya know Deb I do have eagles by the hundreds here from late November til late Feb if you want to focus that great cam of yours on a multitude in one spot. However I am sure there are some gorgoeus places to visit and enjoy at some half way point as well.
SHARON!---I can't tell you how many times I have seen 'GONE WITH THE WIND'----It was the 1st movie I had ever seen that had an intermission!!----It lasts about 4 hours I think!!------Also---I remember we waited & waited to hear CLARK GABLE say--"Frankly--my dear---I don't give a DAMN---------(1st cuss words too)----good memories SHARON!!----
Now, I think that is Buta on the Atlanta cam. Sitting like Buta.
Last Open House was so special because of those friends you knew so well but had never met. Now again this year it will be the same experience. I really wish ALL of us could be together at once one of these days. Glo we will keep you there in Spirit!
Hi Folks,
John knows what the problem is on the 30 second cam. It is not an NCTC thing. He has requested that it be fixed.
Thank you so much for letting us know that Steve!
thanks, Steve and John:)
SORRY---HELEN!---The update wasn't there when I was posting!!---GUESS I SHOULD HAVE WAITED---I WAS TOO EXCITED!!!---SORRY---
Back to the Panda Cub

Mason seems to like his new suite just fine. Melissa has put up new art work of her around his room to help Mason and us to settle in.
Mr. Polonchak came up and played for Mason. Some exercises out of the Weissenbourne Bassoon book and the infamous exercise #21 that Mason did'nt want to do in his lessons.Grandma Betty is on her way back to Florida, she has been here for 2 1/2 weeks. Melissa has gone back to Williamson and Bridget is back to New York tomorrow as well.
Mason's loved the attention I'm sure. They think his elevated temp might be a reaction to some medication, his face had that "redman" syndrome look he had a few weeks back. He is looking good and we are waiting for the next step which is putting his bone flap back in place. He is still in a coma , but he looks bright and with rosy cheeks and big poofy lips.
We you all. Keep all the good prayers, energy and light that you have.
Love Brian and Sylvia
off to beach...later:)
WOW!--Working on GUSTAV'S damage---Seems other STORMS are just lined up waiting to hit---HANNAH has weakened!---power is out!!!---Has anyone heard from NILLA?----These folks really need our prayers!!
Would love to hear from Candy with Hana headed her way.
CANDY - YOO HOO! COME SEE US!
JO!---Thanks for info about the burping----such a tender picture---
REMEMBER Sept. 6, MEI--(BUTA BUTA) will celebrate her 2nd BIRTHDAY with a PARTY!!------Little BEAUTY!!---BET you folks already know that!---I'll never catch up!!
I thought of CANDY too!---Her son moved from Winchester!!----Haven't heard much from her lately!---School has started for her!!!!

I just saw that Jo. IT'S A BOY He is doing okay right now. Back with Lun Lun. Great news.
Ok- follow me to the Rimsey Tavrn at the Claeriun in beautiful Sheptown, WV-sounds like we may take up the whole dining room....
Ceil, they said they would really keep an eye on him! As long as he hollers they know he is ok! I bet that was their first clue. Didn't you and Helen mention about how noisy TAI was! Now I am happy - I sure was hoping that they would say something before 5:00....
Well, I don't see an update where it says the baby is back with mom- just the 10 am update where it's in an incubator. What am I missing?? be kind please...
CEIL We are both going batty! I can't find it now either Megan! Something strange going on
I still can't find that update - Maybe they are waiting until 5:00 -
Perhaps Ceil & I just got a sneak
preview! BUT It Was There In Black & White!!!! :(
Megan - I'm going to inquire about a private dinning room........
Hi family, I have white paint all over me but I need a rest. Painting my new plate rack. Its fits perfect.
Jo have you done a head count. ? Remember we will be three for dinner..LOL
They are cleaning up Yang Yang's mess in the hammock room.
I hope tomorrow they turn the cam back on Lun Lun and BB.(Sharon says Benny Blue) Didn't take the guys/gals long to get that day room
all ready for tomorrow.
If anyone finds the update - give a yell!
I'm going to fix dinner........ BBL
WHOO HOO I FOUND IT!!
Tuesday, September 2, 5:00 PM
After almost nineteen hours of separation from mom, the giant panda cub born on Saturday at Zoo Atlanta was successfully reintroduced to Lun Lun at approximately 1:10 this afternoon. The reintroduction coincided with the cub’s scheduled feeding, and was chosen so that the cub would show the strongest possible nursing response. Lun Lun showed immediate interest in the cub when it was presented just outside the den, and was very focused on the cub as it vocalized. Based on these positive signs, the cub was placed in the den and Lun Lun picked it up and cradled it. The cub has continued to periodically give strong vocalizations indicating that it is doing well. Keepers briefly examined the cub again at 4:30 PM and noted he had gained a little weight, which is a very good indication. Furthermore, there are no signs of abnormalities or bacteria in the panda cub, due to the hand rearing process.
image-Lun Lun and cub
Lun Lun cradling cub
We are encouraged by Lun Lun’s positive response to the reintroductions and their first few hours back together. However, given the sudden decline experienced on Monday, Zoo Staff will remain extra vigilant, and may periodically separate the cub from Lun Lun for brief assessments of its condition.
During the nineteen hours that the cub was being hand-raised, the giant panda nursery expert from China who is here assisting Zoo Atlanta staff was able to examine the cub closely. We are very happy to report that Mei Lan has a little brother!
Many thanks to all those who have expressed their support and best wishes to Lun Lun, the young cub and the Staff here at Zoo Atlanta. Support from Members, Guests and Panda fans around the World has meant a great deal to everyone here at Zoo Atlanta. We will provide another update Wednesday morning.

Hurray, everything is going to be just fine. Now if we can just get Bob to dinner all will be well. Poor Bob we do pick on him but with that much talent we are just jealous.
Just read the update on the panda baby!! Yeah!!
Thanks for the cub update, Jo. It's still not showing on the web site!
Private dining room at the Rumsey sounds like a good idea!
It is a boy!!
Just got home and popped on the Panda Cam site...read the good news about Atlanta Baby being returned to Mom with positive results! Wow, what great news !!
Okay, Bonnie Blue is not going to work for our new little feller! Have to come up with something else. I will have to ponder on that! I am so glad he is back with his Mommy but I am sure Lun Lun is elated!
ROFLMAO - Where's Bob????
Hey, I thought the cub was too young to tell!
Must have some sort of positive proof!! HA HA
And I am very happy to hear Mom and Baby Boy are back together!
Ok, Jo, found it thru' your e-mail link. TY!
Missed saying goodbye to Wanda and Gene last night...hoping that they don't get run off the beach by Hanna, or Ike, or whoever the brewing J-name is!
Margy, did you get the lights fixed? I hate to think of you sneaking around in back alleys!!!
BOB - YOU ARE HILARIOUS!
And Best Wishes for Success in the Photography Judging...
I don't think there is ANY CHANCE that you will miss Dinner this year !
xo
HEDGIE: Brake lights fixed, it was a TURN SIGNAL PROBLEM! Got that replaced, and it took care of a few other thorny electrical problems, have the rear defroster to deal with next, and then try to get rid of the Beast!
But at least I am driving legally again!
So good to "See" everyone again...
xo xo
We ought to get Bob, a shirt, maybe something along the line of TELL ME WHERE TO GO, and directions to the Clarion on the back of the shirt:)
Have we lost Bob already? Helen I thought you were watching Bob. Jo sorry I went off to eat. The updates come up on the right hand side that says updates before it is under the cam. Does that make sense?
you said you were going to watch him!!!!!!!:):):)
Did you hear about the 3 year old who was bitten by a copperhead snake at Greenbrier State park?
But I had to go get supper and left you to watch him.
yikes, that had to hurt:(
oh my bad...thought you were talking about open house.....sorry, lost him:(...going to take shower...somebody go look for Bob:)
They had to fly her to Children's Hospital in Washington.
Hope it wasn't a hungry snake! that's when they have the most venom!
A Maryland Park Service spokesman says a 3-year-old girl was bitten on the hand by a venomous snake while camping with her family at Greenbrier State Park.
The girl encountered the copperhead snake about 8 p.m. Saturday at the park near Boonsboro.
The little girl's name has not been released, but ABC 7 News has learned that she and her family are from Potomac, Md. and that her condition has improved significantly.
The girl was inside her family's tent when in the darkness, she accidentally put her hand on a foot-long northern copperhead snake.
"The snake mistook her as a threat and went ahead and bit her out of self defense," said park ranger Robert Bailey.
Copperheads are venomous, but their bites are rarely fatal to humans. Still, the girl was raced by ambulance to a local hospital, then airlifted to Children's Hospital in D.C.
"They inject their victim with a toxin that destroys their red blood cells. In the case of a small rodent, which is their typical food, it would render the animal incapacitated very quickly," said Bailey.
When northern copperheads are found in the campground or picnic area, rangers generally try to move them to another part of the park.
Snakes bites are still fairly uncommon. And only 2 of the 27 types of snakes found in Maryland are venomous: the northern copperhead and the timber rattlesnake.
I had great time last night looking at the Album of the NCTC Open House visit photos from 2007 - it is on the Eaglet Momsters page with all the photo albums....
They didn't say Margy but they took her to Washington County hospital first and then flew her to Children's in Washington DC.
hmm the snake mistook her for a threat....how does he know that did he interview the snake....did the snake yell, not guilty, did they arrest the snake, did he get bail...just questions????
Great questions Mits, and quite relevant, I believe!
where is Geraldo Rivera when you need him:)?
The snake has lawyered up and is no longer speaking to the media..
Gives me the Willies--snakes in the dark....doubt I'd camp out in a tent again after that!
Two Osprey in the nest at WildWatch
ROFLMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I can't breathe I laughing so hatrd!!!!

Sorry, I'll pass you a bucket..

OH, I'M OK, JUST A WET BATHING SUIT:)...BBL
laughing so HARD is what I meant to say.......spelling queen, Ceil pointed that out to me, she must be related to Sharon
The Hagerstown paper said the little girl was scheduled to be released today.
Anyone ever watch that show...think it was called Venom ER...about the Loma Linda, CA hospital ER that specialized in venomous bites?...Dr. Shawn somebody...cute and nice...who was an expert, and owned alot of venomous snakes...until he had a baby and his wife made him get rid of the snakes!
We knew what you meant to say.
You gals are a kick. Do I want to be in the same motel as you. This could be a vacation to remember.
Helen, you are a great speller until you start laughing!!
We had a neighbor who would walk around with a python around his neck. He caused a few auto accidents.
My brother and sister in law are coming with me. Maybe I should warn them.....
I got bit by a rattler when I was 12. I was one sick little gal. No snakes for me. Robyns nephew had one crawling all over him at last years open house and it scared me to death.
We will have to tell you the story of when we were in West Virginia and found out that Conway Twitty was in the parking garage. We were peeping through the door. Helen stepped on my sore foot I screamed we started running when we saw the security guard WE go into a bathroom not our room. I think we stood on the toilet in case the guard came in. No problem Anne-marie. I work for a good criminal lawyer. Only kidding.
Split is coming.
