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.

Sorry I missed you, CIRRUS :-* When I got to the kitchen I found a Sunday dinner waiting to be dished up and microwaved - I didn't do it, but plonked on top was a head of broccoli, which my brother is not allowed to eat (Warfarin), so I made myself prepare it before making coffee and resuming here.
I seem to have got the verbal trivia runs tonight - put it down to Odin ;-)

Our 'friendly' foreign radio station is interering, haven't heard that for a long time.
She's gradually building up contact (?) calls...
Subsided... resumed... will someone call in?
Stopped for now.
Resuming...
Hello, Scylla - at last I'm home and back on my (iffy) broadband. I hope those calls from EJ mean Odin is nearby.

EJ is quiet again but looking to her left. I must go to sleep now, hoping for good news when I wake tomorrow. Goodnight.
Hi scylla - my computer went down and I didn't hear anything. Now I somehow got it to reconnect again through hardwiring and then disconnecting The internet gods are satisfied about my commitment. :-/
Oooo - I just heard her - yes - she is squeaking. Cam freeze. I think contact calls - fish calling.
Oops, I forgot to post "stopped" - she did, some time ago.
But has just tweeted twice ;-)
