So far, April is starting off with more of the same: either RG or CJ is on the eggs every time I check the cam.

I'm looking forward to all the excitement later this month when the eggs start hatching. In the meantime if you'd like a nice recap of last month's happenings at the nest (complete with pictures), check Kim's blog for March 2013.

Enjoyed reading Kim's blog. Never saw that picture that Tim took of Little Red on the roof of the Brandywine Building. The expression on her face is priceless.

Tuned in to the cam a few minutes ago. Nobody was on the eggs, and they were in a perfect V-shaped formation. Shortly after I tuned in, it looked like CJ coming in. Didn't take him long to get settled.

Seems like they take an afternoon break according to Mine and Jane's posts two days in a row. Won't be long now!!!

Jane, I don't remember seeing that beautiful picture of Red Girl either.I love the wing spread. I have pictures of White Girl on the roof.

Aren't they beautiful SGB? And they hold such precious life inside.

Went past the nest box today. Saw one fly off of the building, but didn't know who. Sure will be glad to have cooler temps.

It's been pretty uneventful at the nest box, which is a good thing. Usually when I check in, RG or CJ is totally covering the eggs. But I just lucked out now when one of them (I'm not sure which) got up and rotated the eggs before getting back down.

I guess I should continue enjoying the calm here, as it's only a matter of days before all the egg-hatching action starts. If this year is anything like last year, I'm figuring that the first hatch will be on Thursday, April 18. In 2012, 5 eggs were laid (beginning on April 9), and the first hatch was on April 20. And this year, 5 eggs were laid (beginning on April 7, or 2 days earlier than 2012).

I must have just missed seeing that. Looked at the cam a few minutes ago, and thought it was CJ on egg duty.

Checked the cam again. CJ got off the eggs and left. Thirty seconds later Red Girl came in. She must have liked his egg arrangement, as she settled right in!

I think I see something too!!! She keeps looking under herself. Something is there in front of her chest.

My imagination??? I think it's her feathers.
