Well, she'd better get out of that corner that the cam doesn't pick up! :lol:

now if you were just watching you would have seen her lie down at the left of the front of the box with legs out back and shuggle.

she is getting ready for a nest mate
I have to go out but will try and process my picutres before i go ,if not later

JANE HAD TO WORK TODAY, SHE'S NOT IN WILMINGTON :lol:

RED GIRL SURE IS SCRAPING ALOT! I REALLY THINK SHE IS GETTING READY FOR THIS NEW MALE! NOW TO GET HIM IN THE SCRAPE! AND THEN TO SEE A CANOODLE! KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN GREG AND KIM :grin:

I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT ALL OF THIS! :loveshow:

bev. · **Posted:** Thu May 06, 2010 7:24 pm

she is still there, you can see the movement. they may have to adjust cam

catwoman · **Posted:** Thu May 06, 2010 7:24 pm

I'm confused--didn't Froona say that the male did the scraping? Do we know that's Red? The one picture I saw of her return didn't show a red band, but it could be that the cam just didn't pick up the color...

So, what to do now...remove the eggs to encourage a reclutch? Now what?

I believe they both scrape...with the male doing the majority...then I think the female chooses the scrape she prefers...

bev. · **Posted:** Thu May 06, 2010 7:26 pm

they both do scraping. At least at Edmonton they do.
she almost lay down here

She's still up in that corner...or at least someone is...

Goodness, a lot to catch up on...Thanks to everyone for reports.

We could write a book on this nest :shock:

Well, I think she's just about made up her mind about these eggs...

now, come on male...land in the box...

bev. · **Posted:** Thu May 06, 2010 7:29 pm

then she left for back and then started scraping
You can see her tail feathers in back left corner.

Must run now.

I will check here first when I come bck

I sure hope if we get lucky enough to get another scrape and eggs, etc. that it isn't in that corner!!!!!

bev. · **Posted:** Thu May 06, 2010 7:32 pm

here someone is in back corner

I'm guessing that Craig will want to wait until he's sure these eggs aren't going to hatch and then he'll remove them and have them tested.

I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S STILL UP AT THAT END! IT DOES LOOK LIKE SHE IS STILL SCRAPING NOW AND THEN. MAYBE SHE WANTS THIS SCRAPE AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FROM THAT FIRST ONE WITH THE EGGS?

I am wondering if she is eating
