These little birds are called “bushtits” and are the most delightful birds in my yard!! I can hear them coming enmasse from about 2 blocks away, and when they land on the suet cakes it reminds me of a flurry of honey bees!! This is the longest “feeding frenzy” I’ve witnessed and as luck would have it, I had my window cam recorder on when they hit!
Y
You will see at the beginning of the video before the 2 minute mark my squirrels just discovered the bungee toy I bought them yesterday. They flurry of activity with the bushtits and the chickadees didn’t phase the squirrels at the feeders one bit!! They just went about their business. You will also see a beautiful yellow Townsends WArbler pop into the picture early on!
Dang these little guys are cute!!!. They used to be shy around me but now they have no fear. I can stand by the feeder and wait for them to come in with my camera on the tripod.
THE STUDIO WINDOW CAM IS ON EVERY DAY FROM DAWN TILL DUSK NOW!!

Chinaphotos/getty images 13 PANDA BASE CUBS MAKE DEBUT!
DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS PANDA KEEPER (SECOND FROM LEFT IN TOP PHOTO)
A WONDERFUL SURPRISE IN THE LONDON PAPER
“IT’S panda-monium! A whopping 13 giant panda cubs have been introduced to the public for the first time at their home in China.
The cubs were born last year at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan Province. This is the first time the cubs have been seen in public together after being nursed through their first months by keepers.
Research at the Chengdu Panda Base focuses on the advancement of wildlife conservation in China. While the giant panda is the principal species of interest, the Base also seeks to conserve the South China tiger, the red panda, the golden monkey and others.
The base currently has 82 pandas in captivity, including the 13 cubs. Click to see more pictures of the cute cubs exploring their home.”

What a Pantastic day we had over at Pandarazzi yesterday. I have been very busy building up the Project Panda and Mission Moonbear social network via Twitter, My Space, etc. to help us reach out to more people regarding endangered species issues.
Our most recent network being AMAZEE.COM who blogged our Amazee Mission Moonbear magazine… which made the front page of Amazee as well! Thank you AMAZEE!!! Everywhere we can spread the word is a huge step forward for the Moonbears and Pandas

The other “out of the blue” surprise I got yesterday was from a recent “Twitter” follower, Colleen at PETERNITY who wrote and asked me if she could help our cause by blogging about the jewelry and Project Panda!!!
The PETERNITY WEBSITE specializes in Pet memorials and beautiful keepsakes . I was very touched by Colleens dedication to this very important aspect of the human/pet bond. Here is a quote from her website that says it all. Thank you SO MUCH Colleen for your help with spreading the word for Pandarazzi.
“At Peternity, we understand that coping with pet loss is difficult. Sometimes you need the soft shoulder of a supportive friend who understands your grief and sorrow. Let our website be your soft shoulder.”
ABOVE IS THE AMAZEE BLOG FEATURE FOR MISSION MOONBEAR
The project at Amazee is the same project going on at Pandarazzi with funds coming from 2 directions towards the Moonbear sponsorship..Amazee is a wonderful place to help spread the word about the moonbears, pandas etc while bringing new “family” into our adoption and sponsorship village. Please help spread the word by telling your friends about either ( or both) of these sites
WE SO FAR HAVE 260.00 OUT OF THE $600.00 NEEDED by 2/14/09
to sponsor a second moonbear by Valentines Day. Please help us by joining the project either through Amazee or Pandarazzi and donations from 10.00 to 200.00 toward our sponsorship are GREATLY appreciated. Your name will be listed on both sites as being part of the new sponsorship “family”!!
WE WILL BE CHOOSING OUR NEW MOONBEAR TO SPONSOR SOON
...SEE OUR FIRST SPONSORSHIP OF “MANDELA” HERE!!
RESCUED MOONBEARS AT AAF IN CHENGDU..SIGH…I WANT TO HELP THEM ALL!!
To see these happy and free bears at AAF , knowing they lived years of their lives in cages no bigger than their bodies is our motivation to keep forging ahead and trying to help where we can. I don’t know how the rescuers do this job……it has to take it’s toll on the heart to see so many suffering but as Elise and I were discussing recently, the successeses make it all worthwhile
And another special surprise…I added in a PANDARAZZI POD to the upper left of your screen. Click the arrow when you come to visit and you will receive a voice message from me. I will be updating the podcast 1-2 times per week and you can even subscribe to the poscasts!!! This will be fun when I am traveling to leave messages as well

BELOW IS OUR LITTLE METAL TRIBE MAN JIN XIN with heart shaped eyes!!
How appropriate for his name which means “Heart of Gold”
CLICK PHOTO TO SEE HIS UPDATED JOURNAL PAGE
FROM OUR ADOPTION COORDINATOR CARRIE AT PANDAS INTERNATIONAL
Last week the Panda Club sent me these pictures of Long Xin’s twins. They are so cute! You’ll probably have to lighten the second picture a bit before posting on your site. I’m not sure how much information you have on these twins so here is what I know. The cubs were born on July 21, 2008. The first cub is a male; he was 129g at birth. The second cub is a female and was 111.4g at birth. I’ll request an update on the babies but I wanted to get these photos to you.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Take care! Carrie
BELOW IS OUR LITTLE WOOD TRIBE GIRL XIAO HUA!!
I cracked up when I saw our sweet “Little Flower” with foliage stuck to her fur
It instantly brought to mind the adorable skunk in the movie Bambi named “Flower”
CLICK PHOTO TO SEE HER UPDATED JOURNAL PAGE
BELOW IS A LETTER FROM SUZANNE BRADEN AT PANDAS INTERNATIONAL WHICH WAS SENT TO ALL THE METAL AND WOOD TRIBE MEMBERS IN DECEMBER WHICH EXPLAINS THE CHANGE IN TWINS
Dear Tribe Members
The Cubs of Guo Guo were adopted for life, which is a large amount; by a Mr. Huang Xiaoming.
Mr. Huang Xiaoming is a Chinese TV actor and signer so I am very pleased he is giving generously to China’s National Treasure.
INFORMATION ABOUT MR. HUANG XIAOMING
However this in no way diminishes the adoptions of the four tribes!
All the cubs of 2008 desperately need to be adopted not just the cubs of Guo Guo
Guo Guo and Long Xin were evacuated from Wolong at the same time and both delivered twins (one male one female) in July
So Long Xin’s twins need you too!!
PANDA CLUB REPORT ON LONG XIN’S TWINS
Thank you so very much Suzanne and Carrie for getting this cubbie switch coordinated so quickly. I can’t wait to get to China to see our babies in person!!! They are just adorable!!
