Thanks to Jackie Kolves for holding an online fundraiser for new computers to stream the Catalina eagle cams. Donations totaled $2924. The computer streaming the West End cams has been running 24/7/365 since 2007, so it is probably ready for retirement.

It's much colder here today...-15C/5F with a high of -13C/9F with the wind chill it feels a lot colder Brrrr. I would rather have been in Pasadena :D

Tomorrow it is going back up to the plus side though, that will be a huge change :)^

Deb - Alan was doing a happy dance for the Giants :**: ^(")^ >O< as I am sure ES was too.

No pink s@*t this year even though I like it sparkling, you should try Prosecco but it is much drier :clink: and more like champagne.

We always enjoy watching The Rose Bowl Parade but particularly so because we are celebrating our 44th wedding Anniversary today.

DH was overly generous and tonight we will go out to one of our favorite restaurants to enjoy a special meal together :D

The best part is the weather because usually it is in the -30C to -40C range :blink:

The :*: is shining and the sky is blue and if it wasn't so windy, we'd take Siobhan for a walk around the park this afternoon :P Maybe we can still do it a bit later in the day :X:

Wishing you a romantic and joyful celebration. :clink: <3




And WOW!, blue skies! We had a few intermittent glimpses of that too today for a change, along with a hail shower, but still milder than usual weather, thankfully.

ANOTHER EAGLE WITH LEAD POISONING BROUGHT IN TO WCV :'(

Chesapeake Bald Eagle
PATIENT: Bald Eagle, #12-0001

LOCATION OF RESCUE: Chesapeake, Virginia

CIRCUMSTANCE OF ADMISSION: Found unable to fly

ADMISSION DATE: January 1, 2012

PROGNOSIS: Guarded

On December 31 a Bald Eagle reportedly “fell from the sky” near the intersection of Butts Station Road and Centerville Turnpike [not far from Stumpy Lake] in Chesapeake. The eagle was rescued and taken to wildlife rehabilator Lisa Barlow for the evening. On January 1, the bird was brought to the Center by volunteer transporter Lona Wilson and was the first patient admitted to the Center during 2012.

Dr. Miranda examined #12-0001 — a mature Bald Eagle — and found that the eagle was thin, weak, and hanging its head — classic symptoms of lead poisoning. An in-house lead test revealed that the eagle was positive for lead – with a result of .267 ppm. Chelation therapy was started immediately.

Though the Bald Eagle is not stable enough for anesthesia, Dr. Miranda may take a very quick set of “awake” radiographs, to see if there is any lead shot in the bird’s digestive tract. The eagle will be placed on the Center’s radiograph table and Dr. Miranda will don a lead gown and collar so that she may hold the eagle still while the x-rays are taken.

Carole, thanks for sharing your New Year's eve photos. Maya is adorable all dressed up in her gold glitter bow. I like your new signature line featuring little Maya. Well done on your folded napkins at your festive table - looks so fancy just like they have on our cruises.
