The cam was down for 20 minutes up to 0130hr-ish, I was half awake and refreshing it at the time and was considering writing to Carnyx when it came back up.
No significant nest activity until EJ took a bathroom break:
Returning:
And a stretch @ 0403hr:
Culminating in another flyaround:
#1 had a stretch between buffers:
#2 also got up - this is between lots and lots of buffering:

Back with a stick for the barricade. Kids are complaining.

EJ is looking around and has given a double-chirp. She's now talking comfortingly to the kids - and has flown AGAIN.
Back with something, I can't tell what - maybe it is the stick she is trying to place right now. No I think it is a piece of bark, in nest center.
EJ is soliciting fish and the kids look full and happy. At least one of the chicks is soliciting also.
She has flown off again.
EJ is finally back with a few chirps, moving sticks. She is moving a nice long curved stick, trying to find the right place for it. She never seems to pose right in front of us on this side of the nest like Odin does.
She's soliciting again, standing on one leg, looking expectantly around. Kids have a nice shady spot now.
She's stopped calling for now, but one of the chicks is speaking up.
Kids are up and active. Large is getting Larger and has the distinct russet patch at the back of the head. Eye patch and head markings are becoming much clearer.
I think she is trying to brood her two by stepping between them! ;-)
