And if you had not posted the video people who didn't see it would have thought we had gone mad LOL

Ej was unperturbed so I assumed it must be Odin . He couldn't hve been perched below for an hour and a half - could he???? Are we sure it WAS Odin lol. So funny. a bit of domestic dis-harmony perhaps.

I didn't see him land but did see him go. I don't think EJ would have been so peaceful if it had been anyone other than Odin.
That's definitely one of the unusual sights of this season :)
Yes you are right Barbara Jean. She will not burning any calories off at the moment but I am sure Odin has no calories to burn off at the moment after all the mating he has been doing.

I'm off too. looking forward to tomorrow, I;m sure he'll have to pay for those shenanigans. lol
Night night all
I would love to see a video of his maneuvering to land " under" the nest
He must have had to fold his wings to land there . Normally their wings are open when they land.
EJ is restless . She has been moving her position a lot
If I remember correctly last year the 3rd egg was laid one day after the 2nd one.
Thanks so much Hazelwoods. We will have to look out to see if that happens again. I think EJ should get him to egg sit tomorrow and go and fish for herself.

Maybe that is why EJ brings some of her fish back for Odin so he can keep up his strength and has the energy for all the mating LOL

Oh please don't wish that . If EJ has to start fishing for herself there will be no chicks. She won't brood them . According to Roy's book one year her mate failed to feed her. She abandoned the eggs and fished for herself.
She is fine right now ! She isn't that hungry
When she is really hungry she isn't just calling for food she is yelling non stop ! You can hear it in her calls
Don't worry Barbara, I was only joking.
