Pandacam update - Mei Sheng, the baby is now 105 pounds, is weaned, and is in an off viewing area. The parents have been put where they can see each other through a wire mesh in anticipation of breeding season. New baby panda one of these days? I sure hope so.

What's with the stingy viewing hours? Birds don't pay any attention to cameras.

Well, at least it looks as if the sun is shining today. Once last year the whole nest was domed with snow and her under it all. She stayed the course and she and her hubby raised both babies to fledge. I think from what I read on that site that it must be momma on the nest. Most of the sitting is done by her with papa bringing her food. Nice family!

Same pair as last year. They are excellent parents and will prevail.

I just checked on the NE eagle mom and she is still sitting on only one egg. It has been 7 days since she laid the first one. I wonder if that is their family for this year. Oh, and the snow in the nest is almost all melted.

I hope the snow melts; wouldn't want it to come down to where the egg is if it gets high. That eagle mom deserves a medal!

She is still up to her tail feathers in snow, but not as bad as above.

Momma just left the nest. Now, at least it is free of snow. Maybe spring is finally going to get there. Looks as if it is only going to be one eaglet for them to raise this year. This egg was laid on March 3rd.

I'm happy to see the NE nest has dried out. It was making me cold just looking at it!! Star laid her first egg at 5:00 pm today. Let's hope for more!!

Now the poor dear has that big stick to contend with. I don't know whether it fell into the nest or if papa was doing a bit of redecorating.

And Juju in for the scoop!!! I haven't seen it yet, but I read on the eagles discussion board that Star laid a second egg late yesterday!!!!!!!!! Okay, this and Tess's tales and my folder are the ONLY places I could get to on the board this morning. Got my priorities straight.

I've been checking out this thread the past few months and really enjoying it. Can I ask how they get the cameras up there adn when? What's the story behind these webcams?
