EGG WATCHING !

I am so excited, I'm practically jumping up and down. As you know, this is the time of year in Antarctica for the penguins to nest. The first time I saw then sitting on actual rock nests, I wondered if we would get to see the eggs. The final pictures answered that question!

Sitting on nest.

There are eggs !

Beautiful Egg

I will be keeping a watch for the little ones to arrive and I will, of course, be sending photos.~ Katie Girl

How egg-citing ! Funny to be watching eggs at this time of year. But I am definitely looking forward to the new arrivals. Thanks Katie Girl

.

Until the nest time HAPPY VIEWING !!

VARIETY TIME

First up are Keema and Denali at the Woodland Zoo. I was lucky enough to get them both and you can clearly see the difference. Keema is the one who is much darker in color.

Then the Antarctic cams are ALL up. YAY! The penguins are adorable. These cams do depend on weather conditions, but when they go down, they are repaired very quickly. I think it is heading towards summer there. I am glad I am here. LOL

HAPPY VIEWING !!

SHORT TRIP WITH KATIE GIRL

The Woodland Zoo bear cam is back up and running! It has several different views and is "streaming"





I think they are Denali, but it's been a long time and I'm not sure.

AND The Antarctica Penguin cam is back. At least four of them. The best one for viewing the penguins is the first one.



But if you ever think it's cold where you are, check out the other cams. LOL

Lazing about.

Still there

I think that covers everything I've seen. Except, of course, Pete's. THAT is absolutely wonderful. :D

My, My, My You've been very busy Katie Girl. Thanks for all the info.

.

Link to Penguin cam is under 'WORLD WIDE WEB CAMS' and Woodlands is on 'ZOO WEB CAMS' (I've changed that link so it now goes directly to the bear cam page. I had trouble finding it from that main site) Think that's it for this post folks

.

Until later HAPPY VIEWING !!

MINI TRIP

The first is from the Tigerhomes web cam. Since it was raining the only animal outside was the white tiger. What a beautiful animal!

(Don't know if it's just the time of year, the cam positions, a combo of both or what but it does make the picture a bit difficult to see)


Next I went to the Monterey Aquarium

and took two of the penguins

and one of the

magnificent leopard shark.

Then on to the NGM Seal cam.

It looks like a lot of the little ones climb up on dad for a rest!

Finally I stopped off at the giraffe cam at the Colorado Zoo. There has been a new addition. So far I have only seen him over in the corner getting attention and probably giraffe crackers,

but today I got one of him before he got over there! He's adorable.

Phew! Was that a trip. From one coast to the other in no time at all. Thanks Katie Girl. Won't it be so cool to visit the Colorado Zoo. Wonder if the raffie's are the only one that let you get so close? Bet they watch every second so as no harm comes to them.

.

Until later HAPPY VIEWING !!

AND NOW THIS ....

KathyQ standing guard. 3 eggs at this point. How many more will there be??

WHAT A MIX !!!

Lone Zebra.

Now this is a great shot to compare the stripes on each side. I have heard tell that no 2 have the same pattern and that each animal has a different pattern on each side. And these are definitely different.

And this one has very light stripes on the legs.

AHHHHH....the sun feels so good

Now what I got to see at Nkorho. A beetle of some sort.

Must of been the day for bugs. This littler one was scurryin' all around and over the beetle.

If you look at the reflection of the tree and slightly right you can see a reflection of something. Was 2 something AM and with no cam op I never could tell what it was. Came in, got a quick drink and kept moving on.

So until the next time HAPPY VIEWING !!
