Just noticed it is Monday. It is my honor to start the new thread. Though I have not had much to contribute this season, I am nevertheless moved by the circumstances and events in the last week, not the least of which is the return of our dear ODIN.
Yesterday began with most of us resigning ourselves to OC (Orange Chest) being the new dominant male of the nest, especially after he kicked 2 eggs out of the nest, and destroyed the third in the nest cup. However, though EJ eventually accepted fish from him, she nevertheless refused to mate with him, shrugging him off time after time. Today OC brought a good sized brown trout to the nest, but promptly took off, after which a brief view of the chasing "intruder" was seen on the nest. This chasing "intruder" looked like ODIN, first mentioned by scylla, and commented upon similarly by other posters such as Moffer and Lindybird among others. Here is scylla's video of the fish and its disappearance followed by an osprey looking very much like Odin.
He did not return until late at night, caught by this video by BirdieNumNum, to our delight. We dearly hope to see him return victorious in the daylight.

That would seem to fit with his delivery of a part eaten fish at 5 35 then. (Page 5 on here)
Birdies LG DU update.
''Oh Cirrus, you've misunderstood me! In no way did I interpret your comment as a criticism! It was simply that seeing Richard's name mentioned led me to mentally reminisce about my own memories of him, both online and at the centre (I met him twice). And I fully endorse your last comment about Jen. Surely the vital thing that she and Richard have in common is their total commitment to the well-being and preservation of these wonderful birds.''
LOL OSM - I think we are both still 'raw' from the recent crisis. A big hug to you
Sounds like a fish on the way, but it HIM again !!!
IMAGICAT
OC is back AGAIN!
EJ didn't get up, just grumbled. He's flown.
