Good morning ya'll.. sunny day in GA. hope everyone has a great day.looking forward to a nice weekend. spending some time with the grand kids. AND doing some more work in the yards....slight chance of rain
GOOD FOGGY MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!!--MORNIN' FLORALGIRL -- SISSY -- BLUEFIELD SHARON & GA-GIRL! --- I think our 'BABY' is acting 'anxious' too SISSY!!---She keeps ignoring the PARENT----AND She is not old enough to act like a teenager!--ho!
Yes, Hidey is being quite the show off this morning doing that "nest edge" circus act. Why is it that my motherly instinct makes me want to tell her "get away from that edge right now"!! lol
Good morning all. Cloudy in Baltimore but humid. I wrote a long message last night and blogger cop ate it. Told about a little bird in the street that made Jim stop the car and it could fly but not well yet. About ducks at the shopping center that come each year. Nurse Helen is coming today. Yea. Party. Too bad the M&M girls are not here. Have a great day. Hugs
MORNIN' CEIL!!---I enjoyed just hearing about your story!!---'DUCKS in the shopping mall'---WHOA!---now that sounds COOL!---Don't let MITS party too much!!---but I bet she has been dying to come over!---(you all enjoy your day)---
Good Friday Morning All! I'm up & at 'em and getting ready to roll our of here. Some of Spidey's web still in the nest off to the left - Hidey I think has picked her launch sight to be around the 3:00 position.
SCOTTISH OSPREY is getting restless on her nest!---She keep getting up & moving the eggs around---Site says she is probably hearing--feeling the movements inside the eggs!---Praying for healthy OSPREYS!!
Hey all... if you haven't seen this nest yet in Hillsborough, NJ (I'm from Jersey) it's been wonderful to watch as well. Mom and dad are often on the nest together caring for three Eaglets! They are growing nicely. Not as much fan-fare at the site though, sadly. Check it out! http://greenjersey.org/2009/04/08/watch-for-eaglets-on-duke-farms-eagle-cam/
LAYNIE---DORIS DUKE ESTATE?---WHOA!--we have been watching that site!!---I would watch the DUKE ESTATE even if there weren't EAGLES!---(kiddin') ho! That is a very interesting site!!--THANKS!
I wish I have been there!! It's a private farm from what I hear and the owner is nice enough to allow the camera. I SO would love to take pictures! These little ones are doing so well. WHAT happens when they get as big as Hidey in that nest? I'm new to this bird cam watching. I was addicted to big-cat cams for a long time.
WOW!---SHARON--Did you see our 'little' TAI!!---doing what he does best---eating with both hands!---still have his pic on my fridge!---He is still #1 in my book!!!---'THE LITTLE PRINCE'!!!
LAYNIE----When they get old enough to fly----they will 'FLEDGE' -fly away on their own!---You will see them 'BRANCHING'--practice flying across the nest--up to next limb, etc---We all were teary eyed last time (we had 3 eaglets) when the last one left!---some times they will come back for a bit---over nite---
GOOD MORNING, ALL! I'll be checking in and out today. Must go to get some routine blood tests first thing, then go to check on our house in the high desert. Am about to take a short nap first, though. 'Grey's' kept me up late. Hidey has been really busy this morning. Getting to be quite independent! Looks like Spidey's web got messed up a bit. I'm SO glad Spidey is very far away from me. Don't mind watching from a distance! Glad the camera sound is working again-- I'm enjoying the bird songs! Take care, and I'll BBL. TGIF!!! :o]
LAYNIE!---Most of us are home folks---Several are retired (me)! CHECK the EAGLE FUN FACTS---located on the left when you click on the EAGLE SITE---will give you lots of info on the EAGLE!!--& PAULA is very informative concerning EAGLES!----We all love to talk about "EAGLES--EAGLES--EAGLES"!!---- ho!
Thanks for the info Norma! Appreciate it. I've only become a "bird watcher" this past year and I've learned SO much!! Now I am progressing to the BIG birds! ha, ha. I did catch a nice red-tail in flight the other day.
Hidey seems so very, very interested in the "outside the nest world" now! Will he be leaving the next soon? And, is this also being recorded so that those watching all this time will not miss that moment?
More news....our very own floralgirl Megan is mentioned and quoted in an article in a supplement to our newspaper about local businesses and farmers markets!!! She is called a "market master" with the Shepherdstown Farmers Market, and "helps organize the Sunday market's vendors and offers her own locally grown cut flowers for sale." I will bring the article next weekend for all to see! Go Megan!!!
Earlier I saw 'BIG BIRD'---standing on "ONE FOOT" on the edge & scratching with the other FOOT!----MS INDEPENDENT!!----She really is a 'FUN BIRD' to watch!!----WHOA!-----'SHE ROCKS'--- ho!
By the way, what is the name of that huge squirrel at Kent?
I was checking the nest earlier, with all the fresh Cottonwood leaves, etc., when one of the squirrel's offspring pranced right through the nest and on up the right hand trunk...
Sunscreen break! NBG has been having problems all week- this is from their blog: We are aware of the current network outage. The T1 line that provides the network feed is down. The service provider is aware of the problem and is working to correct it. Thank you for your patience. posted by VDGIF Wildlife Biologist at 12:49 PM Monday C U later!
THANKS MEGAN!!---HEDGIE & I have been wondering why we haven't been able to see the little 'REBELS'-- I bet you have a beautiful tan!! One of the 'perks' with your job!
Yeah, Norma. I think there's a very good chance the filly will win this year. And I was watching Calvin Byrell (Sp?) when he won with her on Derby day. He thinks she's the best horse he ever rode.
But racing is never a sure thing, and there are horses that were supposed to do better in the Derby, horses that are very long shots that could have a superior day, and there's the unquestioned winner of the Derby..........
It should be a very exciting day and a very exciting race. Make sure you watch it. :-)
Saw a news item about an Australian surfer (older dude!) who hopped on his board and rescued a young kangaroo who was floundering in the surf. Looked like it was fine after rescue, but they didn't say whether it just went on its way, or whether it was relocated away from the coast. Surfers' wife videotaped it.
Just heard on the scanner that someone in Jefferson co. (where our nest is) had a bear.....animal control officer told homeowner to take down birdfeeders. Hmmmmm....
Yes, you definitely want to take down your birdfeeders if you are in Bear Territory! As we have seen at the Snowman Cam ! they will stand on their hind legs and take the whole thing! My naturalist friend in NY has had a time with them. Usually, Leave them alone and they will do likewise. Last year one bear tore off the window screens in Morgan County. DNR used to try to relocate them, but - don't think their policies allow this anymore. Doesn't hurt to have a loud air horn if you go walking in the wild though!
Rough weather at the Loch of the Lowe's in Scotland, they are waiting on a hatch over there. Loch Garten looks like moisture on the cam, and there is a Goshawk nest with two babies in Scotland also. Chrissy is in heaven...and schitzy waiting on the hatch at Loch Lowe's
oh no.....SUV into Dollar General store next to my Bill's business.....can't get him on cell...they said silver Blazer....his mom drives a silver Envoy---they look the same---sure hope it's not her, BUT.....considering her past history for a year or so, wouldn't surprise me if it was.
Okay Lynn....this is serious business....wonder of the Captain is Dana's nephew Brian....? they have two fire captains, could be the other one... or is it Captain 3-3 - that would be my old pal..
Didn't catch number, Margy! And sounded like Hedgesville AND 99 both made transports to ER at the same time, but not sure from where....never heard any transmission with MedCom or hospital prior to their arrivals at CHI. Cross talk makes it so hard to follow and so much traffic is walked on!
Didn't realize that Brian was w/ Hedgesville....I was thinking he was with Bedington. Guess it would be a good sign for him to be back to work...at least it would take his mind off of the sadness.
He died the same year Andrew was born! Seems like my grandmother got a letter like that when she turned 90. She turned 90 in May (1997) and died that December. Two months later, our Mattie was born!
Love that stick crosswise in the nest....reminds me of the balance beam...and guess that is exactly what Hidey is using it for...and probably why parent brought it in!!
I have a tie-dyed shirt on with red in it, does that count?
Does it not amaze you how these birds have such instinct and know they need to bring a bigger stick in for Hidey to strength her talons? Blows my mind!
Thanks, Margy...I don't wasnt to see any Boris shots!
LOL....Berkeley Co. relatives are through marriage only, Margy!
Sissy, just sent out request to White House for birthday greetings for my moms' 90th on June 18th....she probably won't like it being signed by Obama, but coming from the White House should make up for it, since she's also a DC native!
LOL...any reaction out of Hidey? I thought that he was responding to something like that earlier on Paula's video, but couldn't tell if the buzz I was hearing was a bee or the cam itself!
Have a good shift, Margy...hope it's quiet! Hi, Lowreeda!! How's everything at Pax River Park? Any word on the cam going onto the web??? Mits, Ceil and MM...hope you gals are having a good sister day! Don't know how MM and Mits will keep from laughing, so hope you've both taken your pain pills!
Hidey is sitting on the edge as usual! I just finished dinner - morning and early afternoon was up at the funeral and family gathering. Headed down into Frederick - looking for luggage for grad present. Will return and touch base in a few.......
For those of you who are new, you can barely see it but there is a a big branch of the tree that goes up at right about the 3 o'clock position, so when she is flapping right in that spot, she at least has the tree to hold her there.
Lynn, I think the white you are seeing on the tail are still the down feathers. Their heads and tails don't normally turn white until they reach maturity at 4 or 5, I think!?
The way Hidey is sitting with her wings spread out kind of reminds me of a man in a trench coat flashing somebody. I know, I know, I have a sick mind! :)
Susan Hughes, a zoo volunteer cam operator and watcher , interviewed along w/ Lisa Stevens, the panda curator. Staff is on 24/7 watch with vacations canceled. Nesting behavior is evident. But no more definitive word than that. They had one really good shot of Mei throwing straw up over her back, which is a nesting behavior.
I have buds on my tulip poplar. I still can't believe it bloomed all these years and I didn't notice it until last year. I wonder if they have to be a certain age before they start blooming???
I stopped out in the road today while walking to Sissy's and closed my eyes. God's music box is getting louder and prettier every day.

By the way all, I work at home so if I don't get back to a comment for a while, I eventually will!

Looks like Lib - oh he brought a fish!
Good Friday a.m. everyone

Too bad they are eating behind the smudge!
Hidey eating huge hunks...can still see it
gulp!!!!
Wow, the fish is about gone!
Lib just flew up into the back of the tree

Good morning gals and guys. Haven't got up on the blog yet, but wanted to share this article before I turn the page.
Philadelphia (AP): The offspring of two bald eagles at the Philly Zoo is being raised in the wild.
Zoo spokesman says that the eaglet was hatched April 2. It parents are rehabilitated eagles that can't survive in the wild.
The eaglet was placed in a nest with two other eaglets at an undisclodsed location near Doylestown, about 20 miles north of Philly.
Pretty cool, huh?
LOL, how many Mits?
*** GOOD MORNING ***
*** EVERYONE ***
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Hidey seems so very, very interested in the "outside the nest world" now! Will he be leaving the next soon? And, is this also being recorded so that those watching all this time will not miss that moment?
o for osprey...2
neat story, Lynn
Laynie- Hidey is only 9 weeks old tomorrow...they fledge between 10 and 12 weeks, sometimes 13 weeks.
It will only be recorded if someone here can catch it...slight possibility we could get NCTC to find it on their files
Don't think Hidey will be ready at 10 weeks...we will see more flying within the nest...hovering, side to side, etc before fledge time
More news....our very own floralgirl Megan is mentioned and quoted in an article in a supplement to our newspaper about local businesses and farmers markets!!! She is called a "market master" with the Shepherdstown Farmers Market, and "helps organize the Sunday market's vendors and offers her own locally grown cut flowers for sale."
I will bring the article next weekend for all to see! Go Megan!!!
I HAVE BEEN FROZEN OUT FOREVER!!
Wanting to post the time CH 7--WASH ABC will air MEI XIANG at 5:00pm this evening!!
Lots of hopping around and flapping and calling out by Hidey
REst time...
MORNIN' HEDGIE--MOVIN'JIM --NURSE MITS & PAULA!!----
Thanks HEDGIE!!---WE KNOW 'MEGAN' IS THE #1 FLOWER QUEEN!!---CONGRATS!!----VERY PROUD!!
...For the eaglet...
Thanks Paula. He is sitting so close to the outside of the nest now that I thought it would be at any time.
Earlier I saw 'BIG BIRD'---standing on "ONE FOOT" on the edge & scratching with the other FOOT!----MS INDEPENDENT!!----She really is a 'FUN BIRD' to watch!!----WHOA!-----'SHE ROCKS'--- ho!
As Norma mentioned, for locals....Ch. 7 news on 5pm broadcast...Mei's pregnancy (or not) watch!
JIM!---Have you picked a horse for tomorrow's race???
wow... mom and dad were both just on the nest. So cute the way Hidey watched mom as she flew away, and now trying to daddy to share in the catch!
Another fish dElivery!!
Both parents in the nest.....Belle has the fish
Lib just took off the back...Belle is chowing down on the fish...Hidey is watching
adults and eaglets in nest at BWE as well as ours...........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU----HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO----COWBOY FOOTBALL PLAYER----
EMMITT SMITH!
EMMITT is 40!!
was hoping LOLLY would come on this morning----ho!
Hidey did a poop shoot and has moved over to get some fish from Belle, she's feeding him now.
NOrma - Lolly didn't take her laptop...said she would chat with us tonight
If you look at the size of Hidey next to Belle, he is no where near her size...think Hidey is a male
Norma, I'm still athinkin the entries in the Preakness, but I don't believe I'm going to make a pick.
That filly looks great, and Mine that Bird was so strong in the Derby you have to consider him.
And there are more long shots out there which could win it all like Mine That Bird did.
I guess I'm leaning toward the filly, but wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't win it...been since 1924, I think.
It should be an exciting race with all the unknowns and longshots possible.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
I bet you are putting your money on the filly, aren't you, Norma.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Belle is pretty much working that fish over...Hidey getting some bites now and again
Boy, I thought Hidey was an extra big, male chick, but look how small he looks next to Belle!
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
I see Atlanta has changed their site; I found my way to the Panda Cam; but so far I haven't found a picture. Am I missing something?
I think I have the right Win Media Player already.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
THANKS PAULA!---need to catch up on yesterday's blog!!---There has often been a parent in the nest this am---'LIL' ONE just ignored them----
Never mind. I just checked Atlanta again, reloaded the page, and the cam now is up.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
ZZ is on-cam now at San Diego too...

Jim
WHOA!----YOU GOT IT!!!! ho!
A wet rainy morning from Illinois to those of you who remember me,GOOD MORNING!
By the way, what is the name of that huge squirrel at Kent?
I was checking the nest earlier, with all the fresh Cottonwood leaves, etc., when one of the squirrel's offspring pranced right through the nest and on up the right hand trunk...
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Sure we remember you, Just Vicky. Are you coming to the nest next weekend?
MOM..CUT IT OUT!!!
OK, Mom...I'll move!
Well, you didn't have to leave!
Good Morning, Vicky...of course we remember you....How could we forget MISS COMODE TOWN!
MORNIN' VICKY!---We have MISSED you!---We had another VICKY on -- but we have truly missed you--GAL!!---
I thought Hidey was going to try to follow Mom out of the nest! Whew!!
Jim, his name was George!
Yes, we had another Vicky from Panama City, Fla. I don't think she ever came back to visit.
Norma, Lolly said she'd be home by noon (their time!).
Hidey doing nestorations up by the cam
Why is the NORFOLK site not open much anymore?
Hey, Miss Vicky....hope all is well with you. We've missed you!! What's happening in your corner of the world?
Don't know, Norma...I haven't been able to get it open hardly at all this spring. Irritating!
Thanks HEDGIE!!---I was out yesterday afternoon---I wanted her to see EMMITTS BIRTHDAY!---ho!---No one else pays any attention to the COWBOYS!---ho!
HEGIE---It surprises me they haven't mentioned why it is closed so much!!----I love the nest---you are up so close!
WISH I WAS A PANDA!! Are ya'll watching Luney?
JIM---I don't think that a 'MIND THAT BIRD' will ever happen again in our life time?
JIM---Do you think it could happen!
That would probably make a lot of folks happy & rich!----ho!
Sunscreen break!

Parents are arguing at HI! Hidey wants to know what we are up to. She was looking at the cam like she was talking to us!
"I'm ready for my closeup" says Hidey
Hidey hanging out at close end of the nest..panting...hot today!
Awww, facing this way! Peering at something on the tree trunk.
Hidey is such a little clown this morning!! Love those close-ups Hidey! :)
The teaser for the Mei piece on Ch. 7 news said "why zoo officials think Mei is pregnant"......hmmmmm....MTBR!! Keeping all fingers and toes crossed!
I was emailing Suzanne and reading the paper... back again.
If you look quickly you will see a first. Bai Yun, the mother Panda, is sleeping in the treetops this morning in San Diego.

THANKS MEGAN!!---HEDGIE & I have been wondering why we haven't been able to see the little 'REBELS'--

They must have gotten the NBG camera replaced, because they have moved it back to give a broader shot this morning.
Wonder if the eaglets will start branching soon.

Heading out...put some videos on youtube...
Eaglet Momster videos
WOW!!! HEY GUYS.. I JUST SAW THE EGGS AND THE CHANGING OF THE GUARDS AT THE OSPREY NEST ( YOUR FINNEY NEST).. IT WAS AWESOME!!!!
Saw a news item about an Australian surfer (older dude!) who hopped on his board and rescued a young kangaroo who was floundering in the surf. Looked like it was fine after rescue, but they didn't say whether it just went on its way, or whether it was relocated away from the coast. Surfers' wife videotaped it.
Just heard on the scanner that someone in Jefferson co. (where our nest is) had a bear.....animal control officer told homeowner to take down birdfeeders.
Hmmmmm....
Good video, Paula...will check out the others later!
Yes, you definitely want to take down your birdfeeders if you are in Bear Territory! As we have seen at the Snowman Cam ! they will stand on their hind legs and take the whole thing! My naturalist friend in NY has had a time with them. Usually, Leave them alone and they will do likewise. Last year one bear tore off the window screens in Morgan County. DNR used to try to relocate them, but - don't think their policies allow this anymore. Doesn't hurt to have a loud air horn if you go walking in the wild though!
Good Day Everyone ☺
Yo Ho !!
A Three Sisters Gathering in Baltimore! Good for Ceil, Helen, and Mary Margaret ! ♥ ♥ ♥
And thanks for the Hot News Flash about our Megan Lynn !!
Bring it next week.
And Wahoo - I see Just Vicky popped in this morning...come Back Vicky !!
Ha Ha - thought I didn't have much sound at OUR Nest, but heard the dogs barking a little while ago, and that loud muffler just now ! ☺
Man oh Man I wish I was retired !
Great day to go out and Play, and watch all the cams inside too
but I'm not and have to go to work in a few hours :(
Oh, well, Give Thanks for All Things - a helpful motto.....
Rough weather at the Loch of the Lowe's in Scotland, they are waiting on a hatch over there. Loch Garten looks like moisture on the cam, and there is a Goshawk nest with two babies in Scotland also. Chrissy is in heaven...and schitzy waiting on the hatch at Loch Lowe's

Holey Smokes Lynn ! -
Get back with any details...
Praying that all will be okay, no injuries...
Going next door to check on elderly neighbor lady, back in a little while.
praying that all will be okay - HOPING there are no injuries...
Store employee injured, Margy, but don't hear any details yet. Captain called for a county building inspector....
Okay Lynn....this is serious business....wonder of the Captain is Dana's nephew Brian....? they have two fire captains, could be the other one...
or is it Captain 3-3 - that would be my old pal..
back in a few.....
Didn't catch number, Margy! And sounded like Hedgesville AND 99 both made transports to ER at the same time, but not sure from where....never heard any transmission with MedCom or hospital prior to their arrivals at CHI. Cross talk makes it so hard to follow and so much traffic is walked on!

"Command 30"..."go ahead Lieutenant"..."vehicle has been removed from building."
31 back in service...command terminated...building turned back over to occupant.
Hidey sure likes living on the edge. LOL! Breeze is picking up here....Hidey, get away from the rim!
Apologies to bloggers for carrying on long conversation w/ Margy...should have done it in email! Mea culpa!!
Will end by saying that it thankfully was NOT Bill's mother! Injured employee was my SIL's brothers' ex-wife.
Lynn, that is going to be 30 lashes with a wet noodle! It is all good!
Lynn - I think you might be related to everyone in Berkeley County !! One way or the other...
Okay, hope all will be well, nothing too serious, and bldg turned back over to occupant: Bring on More Shoppers !
Thanks for the Blow-by-blow account.
☼ Hello Afternoon People ☼
Nice wing stretches by Miracle...I think our Eaglet is really enjoying this nice day, and maybe, a visitor near the cam branch ?
..heard a tell-tale noise....
I always find in amusing when eaglet scratches his/her head.
I cannot figure out which way to go, which pronoun, him or her...
Aaarrrrrrgh I aggravate myself with it !
My father would have been 100 years old today ☺
Wow Margie, how long has he been gone?
He died in 1989 at the age of 80! Got a nice presidential birthday letter that year...from the First President George Bush....very nice
He died the same year Andrew was born! Seems like my grandmother got a letter like that when she turned 90. She turned 90 in May (1997) and died that December. Two months later, our Mattie was born!
My father loved numbers and things, he would be interested in everything you just said, Sharon !
He's probably smiling about it NOW ☺...maybe with your Grandmother !
I hear sounds of children from the Day Care Center ♫ ♪ ☺
all things seem rather muted though, as though Master Volume might be turned down, but I ain't complaining!
Just had a quick look at Duke Farms, Hornby, Oklahoma, and
Delta 1 - all looks sunny and comfy on those nests. Okla and Duke farms chicks are big !
Need to start doing the get-ready-for-work things, including a little quiet time before heading out.
Will say Sayonara before I leave...
Happy Friday Afternoon Wishes everyone ! It's not too late to throw on a little RED for the Military
Love that stick crosswise in the nest....reminds me of the balance beam...and guess that is exactly what Hidey is using it for...and probably why parent brought it in!!
I have a tie-dyed shirt on with red in it, does that count?
Does it not amaze you how these birds have such instinct and know they need to bring a bigger stick in for Hidey to strength her talons? Blows my mind!
It absolutely counts, Double E-S Even red underwear, socks, jewelry, hair pins, anything !
Balance beam...good thoughts on that, girls...☺
There are 53 pictures on the Momsters album from May 1 - showing some of our Eaglet and her parents antics....don't you all be shy about adding some ☺
I did put up Boris's web from overnight, but NO spider shots....
None, blotto, not a one ! Just the web....☺
Thanks, Margy...I don't wasnt to see any Boris shots!
LOL....Berkeley Co. relatives are through marriage only, Margy!
Sissy, just sent out request to White House for birthday greetings for my moms' 90th on June 18th....she probably won't like it being signed by Obama, but coming from the White House should make up for it, since she's also a DC native!
Sorry, I MEANT Sharon!!!
Copy that Lynn !
Oh, how Hidey's White tail is developing !
Wow ! Squelch noise, cam went blue, then white, then - wow, hear buzzing bee very up close and personal! and saw it too... a dive-bomber...
LOL...any reaction out of Hidey? I thought that he was responding to something like that earlier on Paula's video, but couldn't tell if the buzz I was hearing was a bee or the cam itself!
Finally got a minute to vist!!
Could Hidey get any closer to the edge??? At 2 o'clock. Just don't wingercise there in the wind! ☺
Howdy NatureNut...when you go Bon Voyage?
Hidey has been pulling cliff-hangers all day -
.. and ALL WEEK for that matter !
Okay - this is it, time to start my work week :(
Happy Friday Wishes to all.
Prayers for Wellness, Comfort, Safety and Joy - and Happy Wildlifing !
xo ☺ ♥
Have a good shift, Margy...hope it's quiet!
Hi, Lowreeda!! How's everything at Pax River Park? Any word on the cam going onto the web???
Mits, Ceil and MM...hope you gals are having a good sister day! Don't know how MM and Mits will keep from laughing, so hope you've both taken your pain pills!
WHERE IS HIDEY?????????????
Whew, there he is....scared the heck out of me!
Could he be branching already??
Hidey is sitting on the edge as usual! I just finished dinner - morning and early afternoon was up at the funeral and family gathering.
Headed down into Frederick - looking for luggage for grad present. Will return and touch base in a few.......
BBL
I hope that is Hidey in the blur on the bottom right??? Where is she??
Earlier today I saw her go to the highest area, right next to the camera, and then "fly" a little back into the nest.
Really can see the white tip on his/her tail feathers.
Hidey is a smidgen to the right of 12 o'clock.
For those of you who are new, you can barely see it but there is a a big branch of the tree that goes up at right about the 3 o'clock position, so when she is flapping right in that spot, she at least has the tree to hold her there.
Lynn, I think the white you are seeing on the tail are still the down feathers. Their heads and tails don't normally turn white until they reach maturity at 4 or 5, I think!?
Laynie, (s)he is up at 12 position. Making like a tree trunk! Just finished preening tail feathers.
Hey, Sharon, are you coming next Sat.? Saw that Thelma backed out.....we need at least one southern delegate!
I have every intention of coming next weekend, me and Mattie and I am going to do my best to talk Thelma into it.
Hidey sure is pining to get out of that nest!!
If Mattie is a definite, I'll see if my granddaughter will come so they can pal together.
I just finished cleaning my refrigerator! Now THAT is a lesson in humility for sure!
I can't get Mattie to commit to it! One minute she is, next she isn't!
Can't wait to see y'all...it's been 7 months!!!
Lynn, which email do you use the most, AOL or Yahoo? I just sent you an email to the yahoo address.
The way Hidey is sitting with her wings spread out kind of reminds me of a man in a trench coat flashing somebody. I know, I know, I have a sick mind! :)
Another heart racing moment!
Susan Hughes, a zoo volunteer cam operator and watcher , interviewed along w/ Lisa Stevens, the panda curator. Staff is on 24/7 watch with vacations canceled. Nesting behavior is evident. But no more definitive word than that. They had one really good shot of Mei throwing straw up over her back, which is a nesting behavior.
Sharon, I mostly use aol address.
Okay, just sent it to that address! :)
Answered your mail on yahoo!!
Aren't we a pair....chasing each other on email?! LOL!!!
Got it and good! Bowling tonight and you will "pin" her down tomorrow. Cute! :)
Heading for sofa for Jeopardy....hope Hidey settles down so I can stop having heart failure!
Ha,ha,ha!!!! No pun intended....but you picked up on it!!! You are on the ball, girlfriend!
I wish Hidey would go right under the camera and flap Boris right out of there!
I have buds on my tulip poplar. I still can't believe it bloomed all these years and I didn't notice it until last year. I wonder if they have to be a certain age before they start blooming???
I stopped out in the road today while walking to Sissy's and closed my eyes. God's music box is getting louder and prettier every day.
I did it again, Sharon and you missed it.....you weren't on the BALL that time!!!
Wonder where Wanda is today? And Lolly never did check in...maybe she stayed at Laurel's. Jo has sure had a long and busy day.
My, my. Boris is fast!
Ok.. so my guess is "Boris" is that rude spider??
