Because Inquiring Minds Want to Know.

Yesterday, well actually daily now for the last couple of weeks, I have been closely watching 2 web cams. One is Panda cam from the zoo in Atlanta. If you follow the link by clicking on the panda cam picture, It will take you to the site. Lun Lun's panda cub was born at 4:51pm Eastern time on Sept 6.

The other cam I am currently watching very closely these days while I await a new nest of eagles to be born at Shepherdstown W. VirginiaWhat you didn't know I was Eagle watching? My oh my, well you have lots of catching up to do LOL. Follow the link embedded in the italicised words above. And when you finish that Homepage if you like waht you see thenfollow these words to the Tribute page. The littlest one called "Spunky" by those of us who watched these three hatch grow and fledge, will lead you to a Tribute Page written by many of those who also followed this beautiful journey. Go ahead take a look, you are going to miss something pretty special if you don't take time to see this.

Back to the other cam I am currently watchingA beautiful Peregrine Falcon in Brisbane Australia, who also has 3 eggs due to hatch any day now. Yesterday saw an extremely dramatci event when after sitting faithfully on these eggs for 33 or so days, 65 mile an hour winds blew this bird off her nest. There is a video clip here where you can watch the extent to which Mother Nature at times challenges a young bird family, as well as the extent to which a young mother Bird will go to protect her young. I hope you will follow the link to Frodo and Freida as well.Remember they are on a much different time zone than we are. The camera is on 24 hours a day, but actually becomes light enough to see fairly well, about 2 pm..central time.

OK well now I am going to the Marina to walk my dog/s. Then out back to mow the yard. No pictures or links for those 2 exciting events. Although exciting things can and do happen at the Marina at times. Go here and scroll about 1/3 of the way down the page, well unless you want to enjoy my beautiful Grandbaby, and a couple of other fun places. Then just enjoy the whole page.

OK well I know you are either bored or busy by now. so do have a good day wherever you go!!!!
