Dawn is breaking, but it looks very foggy. It must have gotten cold after the rain
Formerly known as Barbara Jean
EJ sitting in the fog
I posted this reply on yesterdays thread, but I am repeating it here so you see it Scylia
Scylia I just watched your video and I can't tell which chick is calling, but I think it is "calling Odin for food" LOL It is facing the tree where Odin sits!
That has to be Star. That chick is a character.
Regarding the lights we occasionally see we got an explanation from the center a couple of years ago. We were very concerned it looked like flashlights from a person approaching the nest. .
The center explained there is a road in front of the center that has a sharp curve. When cars travel that curve in the road their headlights briefly shine on the nest . There are volunteers who are in the center and in a hide " all night" guarding the nest . If anyone was near the nest they would alert the police.
EDIT: We call the two lights on the front of a vehicle " headlights" I don't know what you call them. I know you call the front the bonnet and we call it the hood. You call the back part the boot and we call it the trunk.
Day camera is on and the nest looks very wet
Evening Barbara Jean: Thanks for starting us off. Foggy indeed! Cam seems unusually clear today....
Hi Annette I guess all the rain washed the camera lens. Did you see the video Scylia has at the end of yesterday's update? It looks like Star calling Odin for food in the middle of the night LOL
Barbara: No; didn't see Scylla's video; will take a look now. Wonder if it was the rain that cleaned the lens - whatever it was certainly made a big difference!.
Poor Star is so big it can only get it's head under EJ. Storm can at least get it's body under her
Barbara: Wow - Scylla's video is fascinating - based on previous evidence, I'd put my money on Star. Of course, can't see the chick under EJ... Whoever it was is certainly ready to take on the world. Was there any indication of what time all that happened?
Odin is late today . He must have gotten a late start due to the fog
Scylia posted the video at 1:05 am so it was before that .
The chick is facing the tree where Odin sits. Maybe it saw him and was telling him in no uncertain terms it wanted a fish LOL
By now I am sure the chicks have made the association that Odin delivers the fish
If Star is a female I pity her poor mate . That is a demanding chick
