Well, no one has posted about it on the Yahoo group and I'm sure they are recording.

I don't know why, but I look and can't tell from this angle who it is. Earlier, I thought Dan, but now (7:18pm) I think Cher - tail is down. But I will say, she's fluffed up, she's not all sleek. Reminds me of labor when the girls get fluffy and hunch over. Also, seems to be breathing a little heavier.

Let's hope she's not a 5 egger!

7:43PM -Nest Exchange. Cher coming on... looking at her now, she's so much bigger than Dan. Should have gone with my gut..

And they are tight on the eggs. I didn't see them at all.

I guess switch happened when computer turned off. sometimes I have it right on and sometimes not :girlcrazy:

the cam has been doing that a lot during switches. I am not sure why

WEll, just checked my recording..I went frame by frame...no clear pic of all the eggs...I managed to count 4 in one pic...that was it...sorry..

what gets me sometimes is Dan usually has tail up and the odd time it is down like Chers.

I di d not see more eggs during switch before my cam shut off. Adn so that was Dan on eggs so I think we are good, for now.

for a moment there I thought she was going into egg laying position again . Whew!!!

Does it go all fuzzy, pixely? That happens to me all the time. I thought it was my computer or connection. But, now I think it's the line/server.

When she just rotated, I thought she was going to stay up and lay another!

Does anyone think she's a fast layer? Why is it I always think it takes hours. For her, it seems she's up and pushed it out in minutes. Is that just my imagination?

She's rotating and seems a little restless. Just about to lose all light....

I'm thinking we will see an egg tomorrow morning!

Does that for me too..but, it seems worse..maybe because the light was fading....

Most egg lays I've watched so far this year have been 4-7 minutes..

I'm just praying she doesn't lay anymore...to be honest, I'm still upset they didn't remove those eggs...I'm sure it will be fine, but I just think the added eggs jeopardize her eggs. Its gotta be hard to incubate those eggs evenly...I know we've seen 6-7 egg clutches before, but its really rare...

yup, she makes egg laying look easy.

And I wish they had removed those other eggs also. but we will have to deal with we have here.

8:15 AM - Dan on duty...

10:15 - I believe Dan still on duty....

Still no egg count

Watching Dan. I think there's a difference in his posture now (tail sometimes down), because I think he's covering more than tucking the eggs. There are so many for him that I think he just needs a break sometimes.

He just repositioned and now his tail is a little up as he's tucked them in close. When he's just covering tightly, his back is a little fluffed up (feathers) and wings look a little lose. When incubating, wings tight to sides, tail up a bit.
