Mom's atop the nest box preening. They are posting the update on a Sunday here! Know they are really excited too!!

Pic and a video of Mom and Dad doing a nest exchange!

:flirty:

At 19:08, she is atop the nest box and he is lying on the eggs.

:7val:

At 19:43, Dad is on guard duty from the parapet and I don't see her.

:1val:

At 21:55, I do not see Mom and/or Dad, but I bet 1 of them is there just off cam.

2 EGGs
April 5 Au greets 2nd born
Sometime in the early hours of Sunday, April 5th the female laid her second egg. We expect a third egg to be laid sometime between April 7th and 8th. The male visited the female in the box and has a turn at sitting on the eggs.

Our good-looking Dad is on his eggs now!
Now Mom on the eggs 11:37.
At 15:00, Mom is standing by the building on the parapet dozing at intervals.
Not seeing anyone, on cam at least at 17:12.
Mom's on her eggs at 21:35.
At 21:36, she hopped up abruptly, went to the lip, preened and looked around, then hopped out of the nest and up to the parapet out of view.
At 23:20, Mom is standing in the nest facing us. It's pitch black, but you can see an eerie outline of her.

every time I have checked today (so far), Dad has been on the eggs. Did Mom slip another in there that we haven't seen yet or did somebody forget to tell him he doesn't need to incubate yet...LOL

This is Mom on the eggs with her back to us. She has been here quite awhile this time.

Still just 2 eggs as of 15:09. Mom remains on duty. I thought she would lay the 3rd egg this morning or afternoon, but ...

Labor? at 1518!!

:7val:

at 15:20!! :7val:
