I am probably not the best person to be starting this thread right now as I am not that familiar with what has been going on all day. However I know essential a task it is and how tiresome it can become if it falls to the same small group every night.
What I do know is that Odin seems to have his best day since Monday 4th May, the last full day he was in control of the nest.
Well Odin seems to be back in control now and I guess most will be very happy about that with the exception of Finrir.
It will be interesting to see how things progress from here.
Enjoy another day of viewing.

Just to be clear VIVIENNE: yes, fish courtesy of Odin
Karen B said:Oh, wow, Moffer - that's so confusing. Why is EJ back incubating if earlier she tried to kick the egg out?!!!
I saw it live and could not really take in what I was seeing. EJ trying to kick the egg out is not something you ever expect to see.
Not sure who arrived with the fish but at last EJ has eaten.

Thanks Cirrus!
The fish was obviously presented to EJ, without her having to mug anyone in the dinner cue. I get the feeling we won't see Fen around any longer. Perhaps he learned a valuable life lesson when EJ pinched a fish off him, the other day. It is delightful to see Odin, in charge of his domain :)
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Could she know it is unviable and is it clear to her that something is not correct in their world while egg is there.
I'm only guessing here but I think EJ is starting to believe the egg is no longer viable. I'm happy to be corrected on this but I wouldn't be surprised if EJ was only adopting the incubating posture now to underscore her status as dominant female on that nest.
