Every year we see EJ now is so precious, I would hate for her to come back next year and not have chicks



We saw a lot of EJ yesterday, she was lively and positive, IMHO.  She didn't know what to do about the eggs, but was more enthusiastic about the nest, bringing sticks - and behaving with GJ (when he put in an appearance to defend) more like the beginning of the season than the middle :-/

But after a fruitful day the day before, GJ was back to his old ways - no fish for EJ, tho she waited 2 hours, knowing he had a fish.

It is painful to watch EJ being so poorly treated, to watch her suffer another season with her mission unfulfilled...

...even tho we are scientists and know that there is a bigger picture.
