This is the most action the medley center has had

I was going to say that too, Jeanne.  I am so glad that she's been spotted!

I miss Kaver too and wish we knew the whereabouts of Mariah.  Hopefully she's OK.

Snakes totally freak me out too, Donna!!           

I was going to say that if anyone knows, it's Donna  and if she's asking...

Speaking of migration-has anyone seen A/B lately?  No postings about sightings in a few days.

There has been a migration of "Old Crows" to Florida every winter for decades.

6th Exam: Muscle Man
Posted at 1:28 pm October 8, 2009 by admin
Although sleepy during most of this morning’s veterinary checkup, our 9-week-old (64-day-old) giant panda cub was flexing the muscles in his arms as he lifted up his chest and head to take a look around.


Tracy Clippinger, D.V.M, San Diego Zoo senior veterinarian, says the 7.7-pound (3.5 kilogram) cub is very aware of his surroundings now that both his eyes and ears have fully opened. He is 21.3 inches (52.4 centimeters) long. She expects the cub to begin to crawl in the next two to six weeks as his muscles continue to develop.

“During the exams, we call the cub ‘little guy,’� said Tracy. “Beginning Saturday, you can visit the San Diego Zoo to help us name him.�

Visitors to the Zoo’s Giant Panda Research Station can suggest a name for the cub Saturday, October 10, through Monday, October 19. The names should be in Chinese (Pinyin), have an English translation and be symbolic in meaning. Suggestions for a name will also be accepted from a link on our Panda Cam page. The name will be announced at a ceremony on November 17.





Here's the video of his exam:

Today the most wonderful singer of Argentina has dead. 
Mercedes Sosa had an amazing voice. She started as a folcklore singer, but then she began to sing different kinds of songs, mostly from latinoamerican authors, and even soft rock themes.
All my country love her. I believe most of the people in the world who love music, know and love her too. She was  a voice of freedom during dark days of violence and dictatorship in my country
You tube is full of her videos, this is only one, perhaps her most loved song: Gracias a la Vida
