Alexander is hard to see because of his coloration, but he is starting to give him mom/dad a run for their money in the size dept.

Our big boy is 9 weeks old and about the size of his parents, but he hangs out on the edges of the nest so I can't get a good pix of him. The info says that at about this age he will start stepping out onto adjacent branches; as a result even his tail won't be visible.

So, it's time to bid adieu to Alexander and wait to see what next year's nest brings us.

These two are a couple of weeks behind Alexander, but are quickly catching up in size.

I checked in on Sloan and Selma (Kent, WA eagles) about ten days agon, and they were losing their gray downy feathers then. Looks like they have almost all big kid feathers now. May, how quickly they grow.

OG, is Alexander flapping his wings yet?

I haven't caught him, but I'm sure he must be by now, and probably lifting himself off the nest a few inches. He's a biiiig boy now.

SM, is that real? I can't make up my mind. If it is, what is it? How big is it?

LOL, Seamonkey. How very thoughtful of you to get that shot for OG. They took a bit of artistic license in making it a baby eagle, since baby eagles are gray.

They appear more white than gray, but the beaks are definitely not yellow.

If you want to see a pix that you will love, go to Palemale.com and see a pix of PM's grandchild flapping his/her wings. These birds are red-tailed hawks.

Oh my goodness, Skootz. I checked in on them a week or so ago, but they were hunkered down in the nest. Have you seen them flapping their wings?

Webcam for the new baby panda at the National Zoo in Washington D.C.

http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/GiantPandas/default.cfm?cam=LP1

I have not seen the baby yet. It would be VERY small at this point. They are saying about the size of a stick of butter. I have been watching, and she obviously has it there with her and is being a very good mother.

First one to get a screencap gets a gold star!

I saw the baby panda tonight!!!

BUT, even though I hit printscreen in time to capture it, you apparently can't get screenprints off the National Zoo webcam. You can get them off the Animal Planet webcam at this address:

http://animal.discovery.com/cams/pandavidr.html

but I spend so much time trying to print the other webcam, that she had changed positions by the time I thought to try Animal Planet.

Baby is really tiny. It was on the black fur of momma's belly while she was laying on her back. I presume it was nursing.

Juju, CNN recommended Animal Planet as the best webcam to be able to see the baby. Thanks for posting the link.
