Odin not seen since 18 May 2017 early afternoon --- 3 days. We have one chick left, no fish deliveries, and an unringed male hanging about the nest. I am personally moved by the greatest forum participants I have ever seen. Many opinions expressed with no personal rancor in the disagreements. I believe all are opening their hearts and minds in a fervent unified wish for the best for EJ. As one forum poster said, "If only EJ knew how many are thinking of her." I am back in town and stricken to see all the news, yet so very honored to be in the company of such courageous nature watchers. Thank you all.
At this moment EJ is sleeping on a mercifully quiet nest with a light wind but no precipitation. May she have peaceful dreams that come true for her.© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild

Hi Tiger, for the uninitiated (e.g. myself) which were the webcams closed down? Location I mean. I assume they are still breeding sites and can guess as to why the plug was pulled, just curious as to location. Thanks. Anyone can answer by the way:-)
Woods Hole, Massachusetts is one of the most recent, Stevie.
That is a very personal order, original goldfinch, to tell people to Get over it!
We all will, of course, but these birds are as close to some hearts as family. Leave people to cope as best they can....now THAT is real life
One Life - Live It!!
I must leave soon, folks. My regards to all an thanks for those who kept the difficult observations going through the daytime. I will return later.

As Cathy says one is Woods Hole. Woods Hole was one of the original osprey webcams in 2004.
I heard very recently that Smith Mountain had been closed down.
Nelson does not operate either.
There are nests at all three sites still.

I am signing off for the night. Hopefully, EJ will roost upright tonight. It's been a hard day all round. Let's hope tomorrow is easier. Good night all.
Good Night Moffer - thanks for all your posts today, see you tomorrow.
Goodnight Moffer, sleep well, we will all see what tomorrow brings, good I hope.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Goodnight Moffer. Sleep tight. Emotions have been running very high. Things will get better.
