This is the beginning of a running thread of the off-season LG Nest Observation Thread until EJ's return next Spring. She may be on holiday or perhaps she is taking a leisurely route with long layovers, investigating nearby territories. God speed her to her wintering grounds and back to our eyes in 2018. With a bit of luck and good timing, EJ the Wise and Magnificent could oust the youngsters CT6 and apparent beau Twiggy from taking over her property.
Please post any notable observations here in the off-season. For more of this season's information on this nest, please see BNN's DU Summaries for 2017.

Just figgered out why all the freezing. I had to restart my modem/wireless router and reboot computer since there had been a power outage and the re-powering can cripple the stream. Fixed. :-)
Just a thought. Is it at all feasible that there is another nest in the vicinity, given that 'we' hear skydancing, the usual end of season bonding that I am pretty sure I remember Odin doing for EJ. The calling generally seems to occur at dawn and given the sad season we have had I doubt there is anyone at the VC or FH who could comment.
Its a grey and windy day, possibly currently raining. I keep hearing a cheep - GSW possibly, but not in view.

The cam has started to drop out for me, and now I have the dreaded 'an error occurred. Please try again later'. Other pages on my laptop work OK, so I guess it is LG end.
13.10 Edit. I think it must be my end after all.
Afternoon folks, so it seems we still have someone around! Not so many posting now, getting to the end of the season.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I've been around since pre-midnight and been thru all yesterday hoping for a miracle ;) It's been a very still night, and dry.
I'm also going thru Arkaig for yesterday, and see what was recorded when 'something happened' (doesn't matter what), my netbook desktop, aww.
