Brilliant news. I knew it the minute I went to the live cam and saw EJ sitting. Hurray. A BIG THANK you to all posts, especially all the clever folks who linked to videos for those of us who missed it. Lovely. EJ is inspecting the egg right now - and has just settled down on it again. Have to pop out; then cook dinner and still haven't had a shower; back later.
Evening all: EJ (and Marge) sitting quietly on their nests.
Marge has just stood up and clearly shows two eggs at LOTL (I know this is a LG thread, but hope no-one minds me adding tiny updates on Marge).
Hi Annette,
EJ obliged by laying her first egg on the 15th. Last year she laid her first egg on the 16th. I didn't want to miss it . I was supposed to have shoulder surgery tomorrow on the 16th. However I developed a massive sinus infection and the surgery has been postponed. So I will be able to see ALL the eggs laid. Something good comes of every set back :)

That is great news about Marge and now 2 eggs!!
Hey Barbara Jean: Well, as you say, there's bad news and good news. But sinus infections are horrible (OH is predisposed to them). Better not stray too far from the computer since the girls seem to be on a roll.
The question of the day is will Odin bring breakfast so he can have a turn sitting on the egg? He loved sitting on the eggs last year.
Someone let me know if Odin starts bringing fish to EJ so he can sit on the eggs
I am going to bed I feel awful
Well, Odin has arrived - but he clearly isn't interested in breakfast. Give the girl a break, Odin! EJ up and stretching now and looking at him as if to say "I've sat here all night and now it's your turn." Odin is inspected the egg and moved over it as if to sit, but backed off again. EJ now back on egg and Odin has flown off. Hmm.
They really gave me a scare! Odin trying to mate whilst EJ was on the egg. I was afraid that eggie would be crushed

And we have color at LG; still no action at LOTL
Hey Auntie: Maybe that's why he's been digging the nest cup so deeply. :-) Are you feeling the effects of the ash over there?
