Also, Good Morning America just interviewed the head vet at the National Zoo (a phenomenal place, I might add) and she said Mei is the perfect panda parent!  The cub is loud and vocal! Mei tries to sleep but the cubby vocalizes and she immediately cradles him (or her)!

It's been reported that Mei and Tian Tian have a new cubby!  The first since Tai Shan!

I'm browsing through my Flickr page looking for a particular photo from 2010. I haven't found it yet, but I did run into these of Rhea Mae by the distraction guy at the Sheraton Toronto banding in 2011.

      

Don't think I'd want to mess with her!



I suppose I should have put these in the offspring chatter section, but I think one spot for fun Rochester memory photos regardless of where they are now might be more useful...

She is her mama's daughter!  Love that face!

Happy birthday, Debbie!!

Happy birthday, John Carlos!!

WOW!! I'll call!  I'm glad one of them stopped using the poison but it's not enough. Sheesh, don't they get it?  MNH, hello? Preserve what they have but kill what's outside their doors. I don't get it. Hope they change their minds. 

I'm calling too!  What's happened to these poor birds is a crime!

I'm calling too and I like what you said, Donna about preserving what they have.

Still at home!

I was just checking Quest's maps from her hatch year. Not sure her specific hatch date-May 8-11, 2008-but August 1, 2008 she was in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.


Quest is one of these 5 heads! 

That's just about how old Orion is as of today.

He could well be on his way.

"NO!!! Say it isn't so? My boy can't be gone yet!"

I know!  I'm not ready either.  Hope it is just a day trip
