Hi everybody,
Its been another eventful day, Odin has been a great dad and provided for his family as usual
Chicks are getting more adventurous in the nest.
EJ being a wonderful mum. Intruder has been about again but has been sent packing.
At the moment EJ is trying to rest but the youngsters keep wriggling about so disturb her.
Happy viewing, see you all in the morning.

Oh this is definitely worth the price of admission. Not sure if it's chick 1 or 2 that's by that fish. He's definitely fascinated by it - and it's still flapping now and then. Meantime, EJ and the other two chicks are busy with the other fish. Odin can take the rest of the day off at this rate.... :-))
We need to ask the center where he could be fishing to bring in two fish in 10 minutes .
Chick #1 is looking at the fish as if it wants to try to figure out how eat it
Formerly known as Barbara Jean
Poor fish. He just lifted his tail a bit and Chick 1 (or 2) is studying it closely.
EDIT: At this rate, Odin could be delivering another one any time now. : -) Sure hope Diane got to see this.

That is Chick #1 It is darker and has no white on it's head
Edit Now the chick is standing on the fish and telling EJ it is there
#1 has rejoined the feeding lineup.
I thought so, but can't see #2 very well what with Titch and EJ in the way.
Chick #1 tried pecking at the "ignored" fish, but got a mouthful of moss or feathers or something. Now he/she is sitting on it and has joined EJ and the others who are still stuffing themselves.
EJ just stopped feeding long enough to look around. She had a look on her face was as if to say " OMG Don't tell me he is bringing another one !"
These chicks are going to weigh another 10 pound by the time the morning shift arrives. They won't recognize them!
I can't see the other fish. Did EJ take it or is it under the chicks?
EDIT The other fish is under the chicks LOL 'I think EJ is calling Odin to come and help eat these fish
They just moved Barbara Jean - you can see it now (getting sat on).
