Bette congratulations on your " Proud Eagleholic " Signature. Karen in SoCal, I love your new deck and the beautiful artwork on the pillows. Have a great time at the baby shower. I went to a baby shower last week and it was fun. Do you know the dirty diaper game? And don't say " Baby ", I'm sure you know all the games. :lol: It's been a long time since I went to a baby shower. I noticed in the Ojai Valley Newspaper they are having a memorial today for Ojailala's friend Donna who passed away. Lala and Donna worked together 16 years at Tottenham Court Tea Room. Today must be a very sad day for Ojailala..

A "SPOT UPDATE" for any who are interested courtesy of a member of the Luduskalender.ee LSE forum: Some Saturday reading, translation of the Eesti Päevaleht article; Kuremari has told the important facts from it. Link to EPL article (Thanks, Kuremari)-I did not copy the link itself since most of us dont speak Estonian. The forum members there however are gracious enough to translate the Estonian articles into english for the non Estonians on the forum:)^ EPL Eesti Päevaleht 18. september 2009 08:00 Author: Ulvar Käärt Lesser spotted eagle celebrity Spot in „hospital” just before autumn migration FOTO by Kaja Kübar; Link to Mutikluti's forum post with photo here If the wing heals within the next few weeks Spot has a chance to go south before winter. The eaglet in the nest of lesser spotted eagles Koit and Eha, Spot, who grew up this summer in view of the webcam and whose smallest movement was observed by thousands of eyes all over the world was brought just before the migration with an injured wing to the Nigula Wild Animal Rehab Centre. Mihkel Juhkam who found the eagle this weekend in a sorry state near the nesting place in Jõgevamaa said that he had simply gone out to pick mushrooms. „I hadn’t seen any mushrooms yet when I found him under a tree about 100 m from the road”, Mihkel Juhkam says. The eagle who huddled under the tree almost completely apathetic let itself be put into a box without resistance and could be brought to the experts. Kaja Kübar, director of the wild animal rehabilitation centre in Pärnumaa explained that the right wing of the eagle had received a quite hard knock and a large haematoma had formed at the wing bone (ulna) . Special creams are now used to medicate this. Since the wing bones aren’t broken Kaja Kübar believes that the young hothead had careered into a tree or a branch. Kaja Kübar also said that when the eagle arrived at the centre a good sign was that he had a very good appetite. It was enough to put the food near the beak, and he gobbled it up. „Obviously he had already gone without food for several days before being found”, she said. So if Mihkel Juhkam had started his mushroom hunt only some ten metres further away the young eagle who is in the highest-listed protection class, would have died of hunger in his helpless state, or some fox would have made a meal of him. The first few days the eagle had to be fed by hand, but now, stronger, he tears the meat off the chicken legs himself. Urmas Sellis from the Eagle Club thinks that if Spot doesn’t get well during this month then his first migration journey to the south will be off, and he will have to spend the winter in Nigula. Kaja Kübar believes optimistically that Spot, who has gained strength very well during the last few days, can soon be let out to freedom, and will have the time to get away before winter. Eagles were watched on the web by viewers from more than 100 countries •• Growing up in sight of the real-time working web camera, lesser spotted eagle Spot became a rare bird celebrity like Tooni and Donna •• From the moment when two eggs appeared in Koit’s and Eha’s nest this spring, this real-life serial became a surprising success. And not only in Estonia but in the whole world. •• In a short time Spot won the hearts of fans from more than 100 countries. Altogether nature enthusiasts clicked to watch the camera nearly 1,5 million times. The name Spot was given by dedicated watchers outside Estonia. •• Spot’s mother Eha went on the journey to Africa already in August, father, Koit left about a week ago. •• Lesser spotted eagles belong to the highest-listed protection category of endangered species. Up to 600 pairs are thought to nest in Estonia. •• The lesser spotted eagle is the most frequently seen eagle species in Estonia. •• Following ruling from the Ministry of Environment in a first stage 15 permanent nesting locations of lesser spotted eagles will be protected. The protection will include one nesting location in east Virumaa, 2 in Läänemaa, 1 in estern Virumaa, 2 inPõlvamaa, 4 in Raplamaa, 1 in Tartumaa, 1 in Vijandimaa and 2 in Võrumaa,

George, I appreciate you bringing us the information on Spot. Poor little guy! Glad there was no bone damage. They will probably band him (if he isn't already). God speed little eagle on your upcoming long journey. |

No Spot has bands on both of his legs which was how the fellow who found him knew it was Spot This was a photo of Spot used by the Estonian Press courtesy of a member of the Luduskalender LSE forum who posted it. you can see his fancy bling just like our eaglets get from There however they do not know whether spot is a sheagle or a heagle because unlike who takes a blood sample for DNA testing , they use Feathers for the DNA extraction in Estonia. From what is my understanding they also have to determin if it is an actual Lesser Spotted eagle (Aquila pomerania) or a hybrid because they do cross breed with the Greater Spotted Eagle (Aquila clanga)

Beautiful face on the spotted eagle George. ![]() Thank's for the update.. Isn't that something if Mihkel Juhkam walked just a few yards away he would have missed the eagle. |

Good morning. Got a good nights sleep for a change. I get my wrapping @ 50% or more off, and order it because I don't have the time to go shopping. I do my Christmas Shopping mostly Online, unless I get something I like from the Danbury Mint or another place. I normally buy wrapping every few years so it is cost efficient for me. I buy a lot of gifts, so I need the wrap to make sure everything is covered. The paper I get is heavy and will not tear on BIG gift's as others I have bought in Stores. This is the 1st year I've bought Tags. I always used Joan's since she had so many, but I felt guilty and bought matching Tags this year. In past years Joan made all of her own bows by hand (talented). So I buy in bulk the Pull Bows I found while in my Mary Kay Business. I love those things. Pull knot, tie, and done. Joan has taken a liking to them too now! ![]() Loved Regan's Alter. She had everything covered! ![]() Ken's taking his Mom out for a Holiday Dinner tonight, so I'm going out solo. It's too difficult since he has a 2 door Acura to get in the backseat, and his mother also has trouble and expects me to sit there. Last time I was back there, and he had to extract me. In getting up my legs gave out, and ended up on the floor. STUCK! He refuses to get a 4 door car so we all can go together, so I will just make my own plans for this evening. He can have his Sporty Riding car. I have to say I drive a compact car and I have trouble getting in and out of that too. An Eclipse. I need a bigger one myself but at least I don't have to deal with the back seat. That's Bells. ![]() Next Thursday I hope they Vote Russell off on Survivor. I watched the ending last night and was disappointed that the pretty blond was sent packing. She was really hurt you could hear it in her voice. Hopefully that Tribe will wake up and see they made a terrible mistake and take him out before there is more damage done. The previews looked scary to me with him going off as per the M.C.
