Good morning all. Its been a miserable day at LG with rain most of the time.
EJ keeping her brood warm and dry and at the moment looking towards the camera. Hi EJ.
Hope Odin can bring in the goods tomorrow, he was superb today despite the weather.
Happy watcing.

Evening AQ and Heron: OH is doing dinner dishes; I'm probably going to hose myself down before I grab some chocolate and a cup of something and back here...
We have daylight!
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
They are eating again. I don't know if Odin delivered a fish or if it is more left overs
Have you really looked at how fat they are getting?
We may need to make donations to buy custom made harnesses and a hot air balloon. Those chicks will be to heavy to fly

Hey Barbara Jean: Maybe rent a Jumbo Jet? Or see AQ's post on Weekly Chat re a kookaburra that was too fat to fly and ended up with its own personal trainer. EJ is having such a hard time trying to cover the chicks.

LOL especially about the kookaburra . Sheesh When the Kookaburra is in shape send the personal trainer to LG
Well, our chicks haven't been eating hot dogs - unless Odin's been a the local snack bar instead of fishing. I wonder how much they gain over the course of a day on average.
I don't know how much they gain in a day. But look at their backs when they are eating. They are not only growing taller they are getting very wide !!
A couple of times chick # 1 or 2 just laid there and let EJ reach down and put the food in it's beak . They eat so much they topple over
All this talk about osprey weight gains has got me thinking. Do ospreys have the answer: "I'm not fat, I'm just big feathered"? Sorry couldn't resist that.
I can't get over the way poor EJ is perched like a bump on a log on top of those chicks.

Annette, that's an absolutely brilliant expression. LOL.
