Daily Update (LG nest) Wednesday 19th May

EJ is extremely restless . She is constantly getting up and looking under herself . She is facing away from the camera so I can't  see. 

When she isn't   moving she has her head  down like she did when the chicks were  very small  and she was shielding them from the cold 

I wonder if  we have a chick 

Edit : Now she has settled down, but she is still resting with her head down 

Hi Barbara and Lynette

The center were guessing Sat for the chick but who knows. She has been very restless today so....

Gary,

Sat will be the 37th day which is  just the "average" so we will need to wait until  morning 

Day 34 of incubation today for EJ

In 2004   the first egg  hatched after 36 days

In 2005 Henry destroyed the eggs.

In 2006  the first  egg hatched  after 38 days

in 2007  Henry destroyed the eggs of the first clutch. The first egg of the second clutch after 34 days but  none of the chicks survived.

in 2008 the first  egg hatched after  36 days

in 2009 the first egg  hatched after  36 days

So in 2010 is it going to be Friday for the first egg hatching?

Thanks Barbara and thanks Tiger for that great info. So anytime but maybe not till Friday.

It's 3am and she is fussing over the eggs. She must feel/hear something from them now:)

Happy Wednesday everyone:)

Hi everybody!  Thanks for all the speculation and information. Looks like we'll all be glued to the screens in the next couple of days - and thereafter.  It's almost light at LG, but still on night cam. EJ on the eggs. (Anyone know how the name EJ originated and what, if anything, it means?)

Annette her leg band is white with EJ on it .

They called her  "White EJ" and then shortened it to EJ.  The center had a contest  to give her a name  and the majority wanted to stay with EJ

THANKS TIGER!! Great info 

 

 

 

EJ just got up, chirped, and flew off.  We're still in black and white and I think that's her who just came back. Yes, not the tentativeness while getting on the eggs that we see with Odin.

Thanks Barbara Jean: That is EJ on the eggs now, right?
